01:10:40 Devastator: (Looks like I was right in Cult, that it was a bad idea to walk to the occult shop with a visibly occult object in tow.)
01:13:16 Devastator: You know what they say about common sense not being common.

18:44:45 Devastator: Good to know that modern cars are now smartphone required.
18:49:05 Devastator: Well, if you don't want someone else able to track it and remotely unlock it, yes.
18:49:09 Devastator: Or just some random dude.
18:50:22 ER: They still make manual transmission cars despite those being less effecient by now, I'm sure you'll be able to find a kar that uses a key. :P
18:51:35 Devastator: They don't really make manual transmissions anymore. I've been unable to buy one for the last two cars I've had.
18:52:19 Devastator: but no, having one that, if not signed into a phone, any bugger can walk up to and open by pushing a button is pretty damn easy.
18:52:33 Devastator: Car theft used to at least require someone to learn a skill.
18:54:15 Devastator: Heh, reading a discussion about it mentioning if retailers own cans of pop labeled 'multiplack can, not for individual sale'
18:54:45 Devastator: The answer is, no, they don't own it. They sell the space to the pop company, who decides what to put in that space. They get the money for the sales, but pay the retailer for the shelf space.
18:56:03 Devastator: (I unloaded trucks for a pop distributer for a few months.)
18:57:22 Devastator: That arrangement is perfectly fair, IMO. It's straightforward as to how it works, and everyone gets paid for doing things.
18:59:04 Devastator: "What's worse, Bowden says, even after his department contacted Verizon and appraised them of the situation, the telco admitted to throttling the connection and wouldn't restore the emergency service's bandwidth unless they agreed to purchase an upgraded service plan."
19:00:37 Devastator: Apparently an unlimited data plan didn't actually mean unlimited.
19:07:23 Devastator: I'm wondering if it was caused due to their contract being 'migrated' at some point onto a plan with different terms. That happened to me last year when my price doubled for no apparent reason.
19:25:57 Devastator: As is, it sounds like their mobile command centre is really stupidly designed, according to modern IT demands. All cloud-based, all running off of one mobile Sim in a router.
19:28:01 Devastator: Up here there is an entire network of large scale radio towers with very significant electrical backups, and there are headquarters with similar designs. Radio trucks, generator trucks, and aircraft trucks, all running off actual independant radio systems, so they'll genuinely run anywhere.
19:34:52 Devastator: It's done that way so you damn well know what's available, and so that everyone involved will know what's going on. And so you can't get confused calling the wrong person or the wrong department.
19:50:22 Devastator: of course, I'm giving them too much credit.
19:51:07 Devastator: They'd have a similar, terrible, system if 2/3 of the province wasn't out of the cellphone coverage.

20:36:33 Devastator: made it to level 3 in man vs world.
21:39:46 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
21:44:29 syv: ...So it has come to this.
21:44:38 Devastator: I failed in level 3 MvW.
21:45:21 syv: That's still pretty impressive. You still playing the version without bandages?
21:45:47 syv: I don't think I've ever gotten to stage 4, myself.
21:46:18 Devastator: I did make 2nd Lieutenant, which was nice.
21:46:21 syv: And that's *with* bandages. Unsure I could do the first level without.
21:46:30 Devastator: Are they that common?
21:47:20 syv: Each is a 20% heal, so you can generally catch an extra 6 or 8 bullets if you grab them all before they fade.
21:47:29 Devastator: That's pretty common.
21:47:55 syv: And they can be stashed, so the full heal at the end of the level makes it easy to keep ahead of the health game.
21:48:10 Devastator: That is a pretty huge boost.
21:48:14 Devastator: You want me to stream an attempt?
21:48:22 syv waits for Dev to say "What full heal?"
21:48:28 Devastator: No, you get a full heal.
21:48:42 Devastator: although I cleared stage 2 with 60% left, which was quite a bit of luck.
21:48:49 syv: I'd rather play it myself. Would you be willing to do duo, despite my incompetence?
21:49:01 Devastator: Sure. It'll be pretty easy, but I'm not against it.
21:49:09 Devastator: I have version 1.40
21:49:19 syv: I'll see if I can't torrent it.
21:56:28 Devastator: What full heal, lol.
22:02:09 syv: Huh. I thought your name had a slash, but that's just a particularly opaque crack on my screen.
22:02:52 ER: I have a few specks on my monitor.
22:03:15 ER: USUALLY they don't make it look like there's an extra comma or something
22:05:02 syv:
Dev, you wouldn't happen to still have the actual torrent for your version, would you?
22:05:20 syv: The sites I usually use are down, and the only correct version I can find looks sketchy. :\
22:07:25 ER: How am I supposed to level up my Will stat IRL?
22:07:27 Devastator: Nope. Looks like the site it came from originally updated the torrent version on their website.
22:07:41 ER: Unrelatedly, I'm currently happy!
22:08:07 ER: Happy because I'm good at ignoring things I gotta do, but happy.
22:09:22 syv: Make schedules for yourself. Beyond that... I'unno, my will's pretty terrible too. Unless you mean confrontational stubborness, I have way too much of that.
22:09:41 syv: Have you finished Surge yet?
22:09:56 ER: Nah, I might be done with it, at least for now.
22:10:18 ER: If I want to do the hitting things thing I'll go back to scorched contract
22:10:29 syv: Is it eternally just more guys in exosuits?
22:10:48 syv: I still haven't finished SC...
22:12:15 ER: doods in exosuits and maybe humanoid robots?
22:13:54 ER: At the end of my dream last night, a little girl tried to give doomguy a hug and it made him uncomfortable so he tried to scare her away with an imp skull, then a whole imp corpse.
22:14:19 ER: Before that the dream was mostly about miniguns and helichoptors.
22:15:35 syv: Both sound fairly appropriate for a Doomguy dream.
22:15:41 ER: I dunno, I guess my brain was just like "wow this is awkward uh try to scare her away by waving a skull in her face!"
22:16:08 syv: Ah, so you were doomguy and not the little girl. How surprising.
22:16:25 ER: I was probably doomguy for most of the dream but at the end but doomguy was in third person at the end
22:16:40 ER: I guess my dreams have third person cutscenes?
22:18:11 ER: Also we went up into the second story of a house and were shooting down at stuff through the windows and at some point I forgot we were in a building so were in a helicopter shooting down at stuff.
22:19:17 syv: Heh. Do you usually remember your dreams so well?
22:20:12 ER: There was a way higher-tech looking enemy helicopter and ours was in a bad way so I somehow lured them into trying to board us, and when they opened the back hatch to jump onto our heli I minigunned everyone inside, then grabbed my allies and jumped into the undamaged enemy heli.
22:20:24 ER: Which is probably where that last scene takes place.
22:20:44 syv: I want to have your dreams.
22:20:58 ER: I think I remember this so well because the last bit struck me as wierd and interesting, and also the minigun was great.
22:21:06 syv: I can virtually never shoot ANYONE in MY dreams.

22:22:15 ER: My dreams are pretty good I recommend them.

22:23:39 syv: I didn't even realize he was in the chatroom.
22:24:13 ER: Usually the worst negative sensation in my dreams amounts to awkward moments. I don't remember ever feeling fear or pain.
22:25:20 syv: Pain, I can't recall ever feeling pain that wasn't actually happening. Fear, though, I've had some goddamn *terrifying* dreams.

22:32:54 ER: Though, terror doesn't happen kinda because I'm almost completely apathetic in a dream? It's not close to lucid, but It's kinda like I know that it's all temporary and ultimately meaningless what happens, so I just don't care.
22:33:00 Devastator has joined #einsteinianroulette
22:34:46 ER: I think that time I boarded the enemy helicopter actually went wrong in some way the first time I tried it, so I just went back and did it again, properly. :p
22:35:35 syv: I like the fact that your brain was fine with you boarding a helicopter midair, but not with the *specific* way you did it the first time.
22:35:43 syv: Was it simply not badass enough, perhaps?
22:36:59 Devastator: Maybe he wanted to do it while on fire.
22:38:42 ER: I think my thought process while considering it was "That heli looks cool, I'm gonna steal it in midair" "This is a totally mad and unrealistic thing to do" "but it'll be really cool, so I'll allow it"
22:42:58 ER: I don't mean to build up my own brain so much, but really it was a cool dream. <.<
22:44:09 ER: I'm thankful for the doom slayer doing something memorable at the end so that I could remember all the sweet FPS parts. :P
22:47:09 syv: It was, fun to hear about. I've never heard anyone talk about boarding a flying helicopter from ANOTHER flying helicopter.
22:47:36 syv: In fact I'm 90% sure I've never heard about anyone boarding a flying helicopter at all.
22:47:52 Devastator: What about kicking an endangered bird in flight?
22:47:59 ER: You should play just cause 2 then. ;P
22:50:33 syv: Can't you tether airliners to mountains in that game?
22:50:49 Devastator: That sounds like a plan.
22:51:11 Devastator: Any helicoper boarding in the Mercenaries series?
22:51:38 ER: You can tether lots of things to lots of other things in that game.
22:52:25 ER: You can also basically fly with no help from vehicles or anything because you have a parachute and a grappling claw
22:52:51 Devastator: so.. he grapples what, exactly? The moon?
22:54:04 ER: you grapple the ground in front of you, build up speed, then let go and soar
22:54:09 Devastator: That's an interesting interpretation of it.
22:54:39 ER: you can jump from a plane and grapple to the ground right before you hit, and you won't take any any damage.
22:54:41 Devastator: Hmm, a totem grapple gun would be fun.
22:55:19 ER: Because grappling to something indicates that you mean to go there, and if what you do if what you intended to do, then you shouldn't take damage from it
22:56:03 ER: It's just click on any surface in range, and get pulled there in about a second.
23:00:36 ER: It's also a game that rewards you for blowing up anything that's red, because red stuff belongs to the evil government.
23:08:28 ER: also, damn, I came up with an interesting setup for one of those god games you see pop up on the forums sometimes.
23:10:09 ER: Rather than being able to create anything from scratch, the players are drained and powerless, and need to try to create a functional universe from a pair of messed-up positive and negative planes and the god-corpses floating in the void.
23:14:39 syv: That sounds challenging and interestingly restrictive, which is kinda counter to god-games' general appeal of being a omnipotent god.
23:15:02 syv: Translation: I like it, but players would whine.
23:22:04 ER: can I kill you in that yet?
23:23:16 ER: this is harder when I don't have three physical dice
