04:40:45 ER: what a lament
04:40:53 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
08:57:20 Devastator: Heya.
10:47:26 Devastator: Agg, someone confused the word 'revoked' for the word 'restored'.
11:52:47 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
11:52:58 Devastator: Hey, syvarris.
11:53:06 Devastator: Was reading some more fanfic.
11:53:12 syv: Wow, response time. Hi.
11:53:13 Devastator: Does nobody know any grammar anymore?
11:53:28 Devastator: Hmm, I just happened to have the tab open at the moment you came on.
11:53:28 syv: Twelve year olds never have.
11:53:41 Devastator: I had grammar at age twelve, dammit.
11:54:14 Devastator: They made all us kids write.
11:54:42 syv: I had *some* grammar, but it still makes me wince nowadays.
11:56:17 Devastator: I'm sure, but I still have a short story I wrote back then, and it makes me cringe horribly, but at least the grammar is better.
11:56:37 syv: Well, sturgeon's law applies doubly to fanfic. 90% is horrible shit, and 90% of the remaining 10% is merely shit.
11:57:05 Devastator: Fair enough.
11:57:22 syv: It's a nice little ego boost for oneself, at least. "At least my writing isn't this bad!"
11:57:33 Devastator: Heh.
11:57:54 Devastator: What I was terrible at as a kid was handwriting.
11:57:56 Devastator: Mine was just horrid.
11:58:10 syv: Same, and it's even worse today.
11:58:13 Devastator: It's actually significantly better now, despite lack of practice, but that was from a very low base.
11:58:22 syv: Kinda surprising since you're not a keyboard warrior millenial.
11:58:32 Devastator: I'd hurry too much, mostly.
11:58:42 Devastator: and I don't have the best dexterity.
11:59:24 syv: Gotta grind that dex up, go to a shooting range~
11:59:33 Devastator: Also felt bad from it, because among other things, my father was a professional draftsman, one of the last who learned by hand.
11:59:45 Devastator: well, practiced.
11:59:50 syv: That does suck.
11:59:54 Devastator: Ugh, not much of a shooter.
12:00:00 Devastator: Yeah, he had remarkable writing.
12:00:08 Devastator: really excellent.
12:00:28 Devastator: as in 'better than machine quality'.
12:02:06 Devastator: Mine is bad, but it's at least readable these days, which is good enough, I suppose.
12:02:51 syv: Just not pretty. I can understand that. TBH I'm usually embarrassed whenever I have to write notes by hand.
12:05:39 Devastator: I do wish I had his handwriting, though, it's a rare enough talent these days I could busk for money with it.

12:13:54 syv: Oh, Dev? Radio was complaining about your streamed games being boring?
12:14:11 syv: I think Hyper Light Drifter would be both fun for you, and interesting enough to watch. Least for me.
12:14:34 Devastator: Yeah, the TES Arena dungeon isn't as good as the previous ones. It's also not a fast game.
12:14:47 Devastator: Although he said Descent was boring, which is not common.
12:15:21 syv: I can see how he'd feel that way.
12:15:56 syv: It's an interesting and relatively unique game, but it's old, doesn't have good graphics, and can encourage a lot of cautious play.
12:16:04 Devastator: Not the way I was playing it..
12:16:26 Devastator: I suppose without the context it would be less interesting.
12:16:39 Devastator: like seeing someone blaze through it is less interesting when you don't know how wrong that is to do.

12:41:48 syv: Please stop dying,
12:43:25 Devastator: Stop bleeding, dammit!
12:56:19 Devastator: hmm.
12:56:33 Devastator: almost done.
12:58:25 syv: yay
12:59:49 Devastator: done.
13:28:41 Devastator: watching the world record GTA V speedrun.
13:29:01 Devastator: The guy just gained a 29 second split and is busy talking to viewers about unrelated stuff.
13:30:23 Devastator: There are things I hate about livestreaming, and that is is.
13:30:25 Devastator: is it.
13:30:52 syv: So the thing you hate about livestreaming is "unrelated things"~?
13:32:04 Devastator: It's runners spending all their time pandering to the chat rather than playing the game.
13:32:14 Devastator: although I can understand it with the boredrom that comes into grinding for runs.
13:50:35 Devastator: I'll keep in mind what you said about cooperative magic, though.
13:57:13 syv: A lot of speedrunning is just doing the same thing over and over, with only a few parts requiring intense concentration and precision. I'd practically expect the speedrunner to talk about something unrelated during the boring time; they've likely exhausted everything relevant already, and it's no fun to repeat oneself.
13:57:51 Devastator: Yeah.
16:28:02 syv: I don't think I'd let you get that in under a month regardless of what wish, unless you were a ward with multiple survived missions.
16:29:21 syv: Hah, wrong channel.
17:19:08 Devastator: so the longer a ward goes the bigger the wish?
17:20:40 syv: Not necessarily. The bigger the wish they can manage.
17:21:40 Devastator: Ahh.
17:22:03 Devastator: I might try the ward thing if Alida goes down early.
17:22:08 Devastator: but there's a waitlist.
17:22:13 Devastator: the person with the Cirno avatar, and ER.
17:22:21 syv: Cirno?
17:22:49 Devastator: the ice fairy avatar.
17:22:50 syv: I think Paris also might be "waitlist", though really ER is the only waitlister. One at a time.
17:22:59 syv: Ah, MCreeper.
17:23:23 Devastator: Not sure about joing CULT.
17:24:57 syv: CULT?
17:25:08 Devastator: PW's new game.
17:25:22 syv: Is it another MMWW?
17:26:28 Devastator: I have no idea.
17:26:39 Devastator: o you, the determinator of MMWW, is it?
17:27:32 syv: "o you"?
17:28:05 syv: I'm definitely not the determinator. Piecewise is the GM still trying to make it, and I'm just the biggest fan of it.
17:28:31 syv: We have very different ideas about the core ideas behind it, and I've already finished a version that fulfills all my goals.
17:32:56 syv: Oh, I've seen this setting.
17:33:05 syv: He sent it to me awhile ago, I think.
17:33:23 Devastator: would you prefer a thou?
17:34:33 syv: ???
17:35:39 Devastator: o thou, determinator of MMWW, heed my call. Is PW's new game CULT MMWW?
17:37:33 syv: Haven't finished reading yet.
17:37:40 Devastator: lotsa text.
17:37:43 Devastator: intimidating.
17:42:01 syv: Nah, this doesn't seem to be MMWW. It does have Flux, who was a god in Perplexicon, though.
17:42:10 syv: Sadly Flux is losing the strawpoll.
17:59:20 Devastator: lolrandom.
18:01:48 syv: Flux wasn't lolrandom, Flux was versatility, change, and being really damn flexible.
18:02:23 syv: I only chose him because he let me buff dodge to unreasonable levels, but still. I like his ideas.
18:03:23 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
18:03:35 ER: ah, phyv
18:04:33 Devastator: heya ER.
18:06:22 ER: hey, I have tons of dex and my handwriting is still not very good
18:06:25 syv: Five.
18:06:32 syv: Acceptable.
18:06:36 syv is now known as Phyv
18:06:38 ER: or at least, not very fast.
18:12:04 ER: I did vote flux
18:12:55 Phyv: !
18:13:03 Phyv pats ER on the head
18:13:14 Phyv: Good Egan Raptor.
18:13:14 ER: tho I multivoted for flux, ignis, and the scolar, so really my vote did nothing :P
18:13:50 ER: I made the three that are in the lead more in the lead
18:14:25 Phyv swats ER on the head
18:14:35 Phyv: Bad Egan Realtor.
18:14:48 Phyv: Oh, can I borrow 200$ to buy a silencer permit?
18:15:27 ER: I'm pretty sure that d12 cash means that's inconseqential to me, so sure.
18:15:50 Phyv: Yay
18:15:59 Phyv: Flat broke, here I come!
18:16:19 ER: l o d s of e m o n e
18:16:57 Devastator: I think I'll sign up tomorrow.
18:20:11 Phyv: We don't have any strongmen. Best is one d10, and one d8.
18:21:05 ER: we all obviously want loads of Will because maybe magic!?
18:21:46 Devastator jots down no will.
18:22:14 ER hits the goblin with a rolled up newspaper
18:23:15 Phyv: Will and knowledge look pretty favored to me.
18:23:27 Phyv: Guile too.
18:24:39 ER: https://youtu.be/Iof5pRAIZmw
18:26:47 Phyv: See, I was gonna play a dex/guile character, but all of sudden I want to play a strength/guile character...
18:27:52 ER: if guile theme goes with everything, maybe guile himself goes with anything
18:29:03 Devastator: Hmm.
18:29:14 Devastator: I'll have to play a character with good Speed, Awareness, and Know, then.
18:29:42 Devastator: Might be useful if someone draws a rune that's about to explode or something.
18:30:11 Phyv: Aww, damn, since I deleted P&P I can't send Discord messages to Piecewise now. ._.
18:30:48 Phyv: Wanted to ask if shooting people rolled on Dex, and whether shooting people would be useful.
18:30:56 ER: I started with shit awareness but then switched that to end because it sounds fun to make a goal of becoming healthier through Favor.
18:31:11 ER: 10:39 AM] crystal baby dad: Strength is for melee and Dex for ranged, correct?
18:31:12 ER: [10:39 AM] Mr.Bones: in the majority of cases
18:32:35 Phyv: :|
18:32:55 Phyv: I could pull a Simon and just shank people.
18:33:01 Phyv: Gah.
18:33:12 ER: go dex and grab a rapier, classic.
18:33:13 Phyv: ER, if I play Guile, will you buy me equipment?
18:33:43 ER: I'll probably end up buying everyone equipment and becoming poor. :P
18:33:59 Phyv: If i play Guile I'm going d12 connections, d12 Standing, 0 Money and Possessions.
18:34:16 ER: perfect
18:34:49 ER: I considered something silly like that, maybe the inverse with 0 standing and conections
18:35:05 ER: nobody likes you, but at least you've got tons of shit
18:37:46 ER: does Guile have max guile?
18:38:08 Phyv: yes
18:38:14 ER: neat
18:39:27 Phyv: Though, playing a character with max standing, and no possessions, makes me want to have them be a good person. Plus Guile's canonically a great guy. So my original plan of being a hitman is... kinda out of the picture.
18:39:40 Phyv: Maybe he'll be Batman-esque.
18:40:07 ER: ...what does Guile do, canonically?
18:40:21 Devastator: so what's the distribution in world points?
18:40:32 ER: 10 points
18:40:49 Devastator: Yeah, but what does that mean?
18:40:50 ER: from 0>d4>d6>d8>d10>d12
18:41:01 ER: so costs 5 points to max one thing
18:41:22 Devastator: thanks.
18:42:04 Phyv: Canonically? He's trying to shut down the criminal organization "Shadaloo".
18:42:19 Phyv: Which is owned by Bison.
18:42:21 Phyv: Yes.
18:42:22 ER: oh yeah, lore
18:42:23 Phyv: YES.
18:42:24 Devastator: figures, a 2 on the inventory roll.
18:42:53 ER: how did I forget that all streetfighter lore is fuckin dumb ;V
18:43:14 ER: so yeah I guess you're some kind of vigilante
18:43:36 Phyv: "DO NOT REUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION"
18:43:48 Phyv: Too bad artist, you draw Guile great so I'm stealing your art.
18:43:54 ER: lol
18:44:55 Devastator: With that freaking 2, I'm not even going to take my horse, dammit.
18:45:03 ER: [1:13 PM] Mr.Bones: Now would sex use persuasion or animal handing?
18:45:22 Devastator: Sex with an animal is animal handling.
18:45:54 ER: okay, now THAT one probably is going to oocq thread :V
18:47:50 Devastator: Okay, my character's up.
18:48:00 Devastator: (No horse because I'd need a saddle to ride it.)
18:49:24 Devastator: I'm also annoyed that I no longer have the magnifying glass for the drafting board.
18:49:30 Devastator: (I have no idea where it went.)
18:49:36 Phyv: You can ride horses bareback.
18:49:43 Phyv: It's uncomfortable, but totally possible.
18:49:54 Devastator: It's stupid to do so.
18:49:57 Phyv: Plus you can just have someone else buy you a saddle. Or buy it yourself.
18:50:15 Devastator: You can buy horses too.
18:50:28 Devastator: and if I want an animal to experiment on, I'll just get a cat or something.
18:53:06 Devastator: I'll probably have to take a picture of the board in any case, as the modern ones are much different than the big professional model I have here.
19:01:19 Phyv: Posted Guile.
19:01:59 Phyv: Who will likely play out as a somewhat more ruthless Nyw, really.
19:04:29 Devastator: New isn't rutheless enough?
19:06:10 Phyv: Nyw is ridiculously nice and merciful.
19:06:45 Phyv: Guile very well might kill people unnecessarily.
19:08:44 Phyv: ...Wait, huh. Canon Guile even spared frigging Bison.
19:10:58 ER: yes!
19:11:00 ER: yes!
19:11:35 ER: well this is a DARK AND GRITTY world so you can be an edgier Guile I guess.
19:13:16 Phyv: "MY FAMILY WAS MURRRRDDUUURREEDDD!!1!"
19:14:02 Devastator: New killed people unnecessarily.
19:14:31 Phyv: Nyw hasn't killed anyone.
19:16:17 Devastator: other than via bombs, yes.
19:19:31 Phyv: Nyw hasn't bombed anyone.
19:21:14 Radio_Controlled has joined #einsteinianroulette
19:21:22 Devastator: well, no, but by activating bombs accidently.
19:21:24 Devastator: Heya RC.
19:21:26 Devastator: new PW game.
19:21:39 Radio_Controlled: Good day you mad yet apparently incompetent unabombers.
19:21:49 Radio_Controlled: I saw, not planning on joining.
19:27:18 Phyv: Hey RipCat.
19:27:37 Devastator: Yeah, I'm not sure about it myself.
19:27:40 Devastator: joined due to peer pressure.
19:27:52 Phyv: What peer pressure?
19:27:59 ER: ^
19:28:08 Phyv: The pressure of peers being in the same room as you? Are we that fat?
19:28:45 Radio_Controlled: Yes. Put away the cake fatty.
19:29:21 Radio_Controlled: Maybe he meant pear pressure and he's being threatened by fruitmen.
19:29:32 Phyv: I only have sandwiches. Admittedly they're all inside my stomach now, but still. No cake.
19:30:19 Radio_Controlled: Like, you know the Chiquita logo? That woman with the fruit hat is actually a brood mother keeping her spawn on her head.
19:30:22 Devastator: caje,
19:30:24 Devastator: cake?
19:35:31 Radio_Controlled: And you know how they paid paramilitary groups and terror groups all to get their hands on that sweet sweet fruit money?
19:35:38 Radio_Controlled: Well, that one is actually true.
19:40:04 Devastator: Yeah.
19:43:03 Radio_Controlled: By the way Phyv, we've had a large influx of fresh meat into Cabal, so if you wanted to return to the game, now's the perfect time!
19:43:36 Phyv: Eh, any time's the perfect time. Is anyone in Z... the Z city?
19:43:43 Phyv: Zaffre?
19:43:59 Radio_Controlled: I think one of them is asking to spawn in a random city.
19:44:17 Phyv: Then no.
19:44:21 Radio_Controlled: You don't wanna play alone?
19:44:36 Phyv: I did kinda build my char to be gimped for a gang.
19:44:43 Radio_Controlled: Cause if you want to recruit someone to play with you, now is in fact the perfect time.
19:45:12 Radio_Controlled: You could always respawn. Or do what lupanian did, and reappear somewhere else in the world with your old character.
19:45:36 Devastator: Well, Saeko is still very slowly moving westwards.
19:45:57 Phyv: Nah, Nah. I'm gonna stay in Zaffre. It's a great place to found a Cabal.
19:46:37 Devastator: You still have plenty of time, RC, to meet up with her.
19:46:57 Radio_Controlled: Hmm. So you wanna stay in Zaffre (to start a cabal there in the boonies) but then don't want to play because you'd be alone.
19:47:44 Radio_Controlled: I hope so Dev.
19:48:09 Radio_Controlled: Depends on Pan really and how long he feels like arena fighting.
19:48:22 Devastator: I have surgery to do and like 6 more patients to look at, and then the whole business with the mount.
19:48:32 Devastator: Plenty of time.
19:49:07 Radio_Controlled: Right, operation Big Bird.
19:51:10 Radio_Controlled: You could also respawn with a less gimped char in Zaffre.
19:51:15 Devastator: It's a Griffin, actually.
19:51:28 Devastator: or it will when it arrives and I pay for it.
19:53:01 Radio_Controlled: Operation Great Griffin then.
19:54:27 Phyv: Nah, I want to play my gimped char.
19:54:52 Devastator: Sure.
19:54:56 Radio_Controlled: But not alone, apparently.
19:55:05 Phyv: Nyeh, alone is fine.
19:55:08 Phyv: Bye.
19:55:09 Phyv has quit [Quit: Definitely a psyv.]
19:55:28 Devastator: ok.
19:55:58 Radio_Controlled: You were rather contradictory tonight phyv, contradictory indeed.
19:57:43 Radio_Controlled: Oz is apparently planning to travel to the edge of the map to see what's there.
19:58:07 Radio_Controlled: Our current best guess is a giant wall telling him to get bent and/or eat him.
20:04:20 Devastator: Endless desert.
20:04:26 Devastator: An entire new map!
20:04:46 Radio_Controlled: Sand in all directions!
20:04:53 Radio_Controlled: Sand for days.
20:05:43 Devastator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltUeV1AGHBw
20:06:09 Radio_Controlled: Linko plox.
20:06:25 Devastator: https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=ltUeV1AGHBw
20:06:32 Radio_Controlled: Wait, got it.
20:06:46 Radio_Controlled: Ah, thanks anyway.
20:13:47 Devastator: np.
20:13:50 Devastator: Just sand music.
20:13:53 Devastator: nothing special.
20:16:00 Radio_Controlled: Too bad he doesn't have the word for sand.
20:17:31 Radio_Controlled: Oh! Did you hear by the way? The new meta is channeler with an ant farm.
20:18:22 Devastator: Heh.
20:18:28 Devastator: He might go the way of Crablante.
20:18:59 ER has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
20:19:28 Radio_Controlled: He ran away!
20:19:48 Radio_Controlled: The coward!
20:22:08 Devastator: I ate too much crab, so I turned into one!
20:25:42 Devastator: "I wish human beings had giant anime eyes!"
20:25:42 Radio_Controlled: Giant Ant Wizard sounds kind of cool really.
20:25:50 Devastator: Go join the bugmen, then. ;-p
20:26:07 Radio_Controlled: I'm more likely to hunt them down really.
20:27:38 Devastator: EAT the bugmen.
20:28:25 Radio_Controlled: Well, gotta dissect them first.
20:28:49 Devastator: eat their guts.
20:29:09 Devastator: AVA updated.
20:29:13 Devastator: wrote a wall-o-orders.
20:29:21 Devastator: well, not recently.
20:29:25 Devastator: some days ago.
20:29:28 Devastator: I thought it was dead.
20:29:50 Radio_Controlled: We might get demon combat somewhere this century even.
20:30:03 Radio_Controlled: But I already have the word for guts!
20:30:18 Devastator: HUGE guts!
20:31:02 Radio_Controlled: How many gutwords does a single guy need really.
20:32:50 Radio_Controlled: I do hope lup will be willing to do that little quest for us.
20:34:53 Radio_Controlled: Could be the start of recruiting him permanently to our group.
20:35:11 Radio_Controlled: And if not, should at least tell us what that compass is pointing at.
20:40:40 Devastator: guts guts guts.
20:40:52 Devastator: Well, Saeko's not a joiner. She'll work for you, but not with you.
20:49:05 Devastator: Heh, and Redjive likes the Lufia 2 soundtrack.
20:49:53 Radio_Controlled: He does, but I can imagine it won't be easy to find sheet music for it.
20:50:18 Radio_Controlled: That's fine, both temp jobs or more permanent gigs work for us.
20:50:32 Devastator: Someone has it. He's got a year if he wants to find it.
20:50:40 Radio_Controlled: So, guts is your bet on what the compass is pointing at?
20:51:24 Devastator: Big guts.
20:51:28 Devastator: I have no idea.
20:51:40 Devastator: Maybe one of the things the Alkahest guy is eating from.
20:52:48 Radio_Controlled: Might be three parts of something that need to be put together.
20:53:06 Devastator: Could be.
20:53:19 Devastator: Still, didn't think the sheet music would be hard to find. That's it, right on top of that guy's piano.
20:54:13 Radio_Controlled: Gotta find it.
20:54:22 Radio_Controlled: Find someone who can do moonspeak.
20:56:08 Radio_Controlled: If it points to guts, it should be pointing to ER and syv really.
20:56:49 Radio_Controlled: Pan can do some moonspeak, he might be able to help.
20:58:22 Devastator: moonspeak?
