02:53:42 ER: probably nothing important~
02:54:00 ER: dealing with that dinosaur is still a little harrowing
02:54:14 ER: At least I got there before the sun went down today
02:59:05 ER: "I’m sorry, I’m realizing a lot of obvious things about dark elves tonight."
03:00:37 ER: luck is bullshit and I'll avoid using it if possible
03:03:08 Devastator: Ahh, the necromancer.
03:04:39 Devastator: You save.. you suffer the full effect for half as many turns.
03:05:14 ER: necromancy is a good school
03:08:26 ER: oh good, so she hasn't sold her soul *yet*
03:10:55 Devastator: That tail wag isn't someone with an intact soul.

03:37:58 ER slides into a shadowed corner, waiting for a to walk past.
03:39:14 Devastator: Got my first wrapped paper straw today, courtesy of the ban in San Francisco.
03:39:24 Devastator: It was
a sad, sad thing.
03:40:42 Devastator: Might mean no more slurpees, which is
a double sad thing.
03:41:20 ER: use
a spoon or something ya dengenerate
03:41:45 ER: Who needs
a tube to put in their drink? It's useless!
03:41:58 Devastator: That's the issue. The only proper way to drink a slurpee is with
a plastic spoon straw.
03:43:08 ER: I'm sure the paper ones will work just fine
03:44:07 Devastator: For some things, sure. But not for slurpees, where you have to sometimes drink the melted pop and sometimes eat the ice to keep you from either drinking unflavored ice shavings or drinking pop at the end.
03:45:27 ER: and you can't do that with
a normal spoon because...?
03:45:50 Devastator: you can't suck the melting pop out of the bottom with
a spoon?
03:46:34 ER: You don't even need the spoon for that
03:48:11 Devastator: Yeah, but you need both.
03:48:32 Devastator: Looks like it's
a sympathetic ban.
03:48:37 Devastator: Sigh, going to have to stock up.
03:49:03 ER: Even i you need both, there's no reason why paper straws won't work
03:49:28 Devastator: ..because you need the soft plastic to let the spoon end flatten against the bottom of the cup.
03:49:44 Devastator: ..while being able to still act like
a spoon when you pull it back out.
03:50:19 ER: I have eaten numerous slurpies and never once needed
a ridiculous plastic psoon-straw
03:50:37 Devastator: Have you ever used one?
03:51:02 Devastator: Because it's sounding like you don't know what you're missing.
03:51:59 Devastator: So is electricity..
03:52:32 ER: You're just attached to
a stupid plastic bauble
03:53:33 Devastator: Of course. What's wrong with that?
03:54:46 a has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:55:13 Devastator: Is it nothing? Because it sounds like I'm doing nothing wrong..
03:57:18 Devastator: Yeah, that's the issue, really.
03:57:38 Devastator: If I want to drink a slurpee the way I want, I'm
a horrible person.
03:57:41 a has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:16:53 Devastator: oh well. Going to see if I can buy
a thousand or so before the ban kicks in.
04:25:17 Devastator: got the double-barreled sniper rifle in teleglitch.

04:49:03 Devastator: got shot to death by armoured guards.
04:50:27 ER: who'd have thought that the correct use of the armor piercing weapon is fighting armored enemies
04:51:06 Devastator: I was saving it for the giant battle robots.
04:54:11 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:54:52 syv: You NEED
a spoon-straw to eat slurpies.
04:55:34 syv: The concept that you'd do anything else is a little disconcerting. Why wouldn't you? They're great! Like
a third of the experience, at least.
04:55:47 ER: I'm starting to think that you people have poor food tastes
04:55:47 Devastator: I think I might actually write
a letter about how spoon straws are necessary for slurpees.
04:56:04 ER: why, earlier you said homemade pizza was bad! >:O
04:56:08 Devastator: Everything else I can live with paper straws.
04:56:15 Devastator: although root beer floats will hurt, too.
04:56:20 syv: I'd offer to sign it as
a show of solidarity, but Canadians prolly don't care about Florida Man's opinion.
04:56:22 Devastator: but slurpees need spoon straws.
04:56:44 Devastator: Send it locally, then, in response to bans in other jurisdictions.
04:57:11 Devastator: It can be okay, but yeah, having a real pizza oven makes pizza
a lot better.
04:58:31 syv: I think it also just has to do with competence. It's easy to screw up a pizza. I've never made a good one, nobody I've ever lived with has made
a good one. My mother tried many times, but she shot herself in the foot by always needing to experiment before she had the basics down.
05:00:34 syv: ...Probably helps that I don't really like pizza. Fresh pizza from
a decent pizza place can sometimes be good, but beyond that it's pretty eh.
05:01:18 ER: You said you like mostly-raw cuts of meat with nothing accompanying, so I'm pretty sure you don't like food
05:02:00 Devastator: I've made pretty decent homemade pizzas, but I have no issue with anything you're saying,
syv.
05:02:01 syv: Hey! I didn't say *nothing* accompanying! I like beans or mushrooms with my steak. And I like it seasoned and marinaded.
05:02:26 Devastator: Ugh, mushrooms on steak. You gotta have it seasoned and marinated, but don't wreck it with mushrooms.
05:02:53 Devastator: and not all marinations are good. The ones heavy on tomato sauce are a great way to ruin
a good steak.
05:03:25 syv: I eat them more as
a side, and the type I use doesn't have an overpowering taste.
05:04:57 Devastator: They're not bad. Depends, though.
05:05:13 Devastator: thinking about how to respond to KM's post in Pumsy's.
05:08:44 Devastator: Also, officially more than halfway to the 22 million tree goal.

05:11:36 Devastator: Ahh, the wonders of auto updates.
05:12:22 syComp: It's more that cellular updates are disabled for reasons of not paying thirty bucks just to have the latest updates on everything.

05:14:17 ER: Is the revolver in teleglitch really powerful or something? I've never really used it because I can't find its ammo
05:14:39 Devastator: You can make it
a six-trigger version which will do absurd damage per shot.
05:14:43 Devastator: but yeah, not too much ammo.
05:15:05 Devastator: no idea how the hell one makes
a revolver that shoots all cartridges at once.
05:15:12 ER: At the cost of my shotgun, and I'll only get one shot out of the gun that way
05:15:28 Devastator: Presumably you do it if you find
a second shotgun.
05:15:57 ER: Shotgun seems better anyway, because you can actually fire it again without reloading.
05:16:31 Devastator: It's good. Although revolver bullets penetrate.
05:16:45 syComp: You can't load your shotty with slugs?
05:17:10 Devastator: There doesn't seem to be any shotgun slugs.
05:17:26 Devastator: truth be told, I'd actually like more spread from the shotgun most times.
05:18:37 Devastator: well, could stream my flailing if you'd like. I think I'm not likely to play it much further.
05:21:03 syComp: Eh. I'm
a little curious, but Teleglitch doesn't really seem like my kinda thing.
05:21:22 syComp: The absolute insult to reality that is the crafting system in particular rubs me the wrong way.
05:21:47 ER: reality deserves to be insulted sometimes
05:22:41 syComp: a a a a a a a b a b a a a b a b a a a a

05:22:57 Devastator: To be fair it's
a reality where someone grows super-soldiers from plankton.
05:23:06 syComp: Get
a REAL name, Leodanny!
05:23:50 ER: will I ever have
a use for stumulant?
05:24:05 syComp: Maybe it makes you run faster?
05:24:10 syComp: Running faster is amazing.
05:24:25 syComp: It's like 90% of the reason to do meth.
05:24:50 Devastator: it also makes your guns fire faster.
05:24:53 Devastator: and lets you knife faster.
05:24:57 Devastator: well, most of your guns.
05:25:04 Devastator: the automatic ones don't go faster.
05:25:18 syComp: Oh. Well, that actually makes sense.
05:25:29 Devastator: the semiauto ones can shoot faster.
05:25:56 syComp: Yeah, if you're thinking and reacting faster, you'd be able to reacquire targets faster.
05:26:33 Devastator: and recover better from recoil.
05:27:01 Devastator: It makes the UI jump around
a bit and slightly lowers your accuracy, but only for multi-shot weapons.
05:27:03 syComp: ...That's the same thing?
05:27:16 Devastator: Yes, unless you're hip-firing.
05:27:47 syComp: I suppose I can't argue with that.
05:35:33 ER: huh, two computer chips and
a medkit for an emergency teleporter?
05:36:54 syComp: The medkit actually has one installed already, but you need to hack the chips and implant them in the device to turn the safeties off.
05:37:24 Devastator: Also, the canned meat can overheal because it's full of zombie drugs.
05:38:14 syComp: Drugs made by zombies, of zombies, for zombies, or to make zombies?
05:38:40 Devastator: All of the first three.
05:38:51 Devastator: There's
a lore bit where they reveal that zombies are heavily employed in factories.
05:39:06 syComp: I was expecting the last one at least to be partially true.
05:39:19 Devastator: Nah, they wait for you to die to make you zombies.
05:39:30 ER: wow, lot of monsters suddenly there. :P
05:39:36 Devastator: The AI can brainchip people for mind control, but they don't do that intentionally.
05:40:08 ER: The drugs in the meat do apparently cause greater agression and sex drive.
05:41:04 Devastator: when used on not-zombies, yes.
05:41:34 ER: yeah, they use robots for all the sexy stuff
05:41:50 syComp: Does this manifest in gameplay?
05:43:30 ER: There's that and then the main character monologing between levels.
05:43:34 Devastator: They do mention tentacle monster sexbots.
05:44:06 syComp: I didn't think you could make this game sound less appealing.
05:44:17 ER: In one part he expresses regret that he decided to work on
a barren planet and work on war machines rather than work on an ocean planet making sex robots.
05:45:06 syComp: I suppose that is understandable.
05:47:38 Devastator: Heh the jumpless Mario 64 DS TAS has
a great ending.
05:49:21 Devastator: During-credit death.
05:49:28 Devastator: May be
a first for tasvideos.
05:50:07 syComp: Is it there for
a reason?
05:50:30 Devastator: It's unavoidable, actually.
05:51:01 Devastator: They must use
a certain character to complete the final level to do it jumpless.
05:51:10 ER: yeah, I'm going to assume that during credits deaths happen pretty regularly in TAS
05:51:39 Devastator: If you complete the game with that character, which you aren't supposed to be able to do, you end up with the character spawn locations for the credit shots being way off.
05:51:50 Devastator: one one portion, that causes your character to spawn in air and fall to his death.
05:52:09 Devastator: ..which exits the credits.
05:52:36 Devastator: Okay, that's going to be fun.
05:52:44 Devastator: Got orders in from
MJ, and they're going to be fun to interpret.
05:53:03 Devastator: I am, for this moment, stumped.
05:53:34 syComp: Please, spoil his turn for me, and in so doing tell me important things about my character.
05:53:46 Devastator: How does
a bird pantomime fighting to very large two-legged lizardpeople?
05:57:20 Devastator: What may be harder is that he wants to 'point'.
06:07:44 Devastator: Oh well, this is why I have a wisdom check success. That said,
a success here will be really important.
06:09:20 Devastator: He's finally gotten some very hostile guys receptive, and has
a real chance to get something nice.
06:17:23 ER: what am I doing. should I be doing something?
06:22:02 syComp: Fairly early, for him. It's only one.
06:28:57 syComp: Watching moemon again. This guy really is just horrible at naming things.
06:48:20 Devastator: Everyone has strengths.
06:48:54 Devastator: And, as you know, there is no strength that is not a weakness, and no weakness that is
a strength.
06:49:04 Devastator: so, somwhere, somehow, there is strength in being terrible to name things.
06:49:54 syComp: I'm not sure I agree with these statements.
07:16:57 Devastator: You agreed with me on the spoon straw issue!
07:17:44 Devastator: Oh, and which name were you complaining about in Moemon?
07:21:12 syComp: Then he named one KJ.xyz.
07:21:29 syComp: At least Joxy is
a word. That kinda sounds name-like.
07:21:32 Devastator: Ones that are unlikely to ever see the light of day.
07:21:50 syComp: He named his future-gyarados, his only water type, HP.Spoons
07:22:01 syComp: He named
a bird Mail-Gurl.
07:22:16 syComp: It doesn't matter how important they are, they're all horrible.
07:22:55 syComp: ...Except Vio. I think that's an actual name. Or nickname.
07:23:14 Devastator: To be fair it was a girl in
a postal uniform with wings.
07:23:21 syComp: But yeah, "Toothdog" would be
a good name for him.
07:23:22 Devastator: It's still terrible.
07:23:27 Devastator: but the mail part is understandable.
07:23:42 syComp: It's pronounced "Male girl".
07:25:27 Devastator: It may be better than average for him, because all the names are terrible.
07:25:35 syComp: The truly amazing thing is the fact that they never seem to have noticed that.
07:26:28 Devastator: I think the best name I've seen him use in three playthroughs was 'Jimbo.'
07:28:11 syComp: Okay, so he went with "Snarfle" rather than "Toothdog". Which is arguably worse.
07:29:55 Devastator: They're all terrible.
07:30:06 Devastator: Yeah, Toothdog would be the best so far.
07:35:25 Devastator: Did you get to the Eevee yet?
07:37:08 syComp: Nope. Just got to the part where his catgirl gets critted from near-full health.
07:37:27 syComp: Sad music and amusingly strangled cries.
07:38:15 Devastator: They liked that meowth.
07:38:23 Devastator: (They have terrible stats.)
07:38:35 syComp: Well of course. It's
a catgirl.
07:38:55 syComp: I was curious what persian looks like. Ah well, doesn't the rocket boss have one or something?
07:39:26 syComp: It is
a pity, though. They spent so much time leveling it.
07:39:48 syComp: And they're STILL not done complaining about it.
07:41:49 Devastator: I haven't gotten that far yet.
07:42:05 Devastator: probably just a catgirl with
a little more effort put into it.
07:42:14 syComp: "Eevee spelled backwards!"
07:43:33 syComp: ...It would have been
a better name than "SteveHarvy".
07:44:18 Devastator: I was waiting for that.
07:44:35 Devastator: Looks like moemon persian is crawling with
a bikini.
07:45:16 syComp: That... does not sound moe.
07:45:47 Devastator: I suspect you were accurate when you stated that many of these pokemon were not moe.
07:54:23 syComp: Why's he have to replace Vaporeon's sprite with Steve Harvey, too? Vaporeon is one of the best looking pokemon.
07:56:09 Devastator: And yeah, it's not bad looking.
07:56:14 Devastator: Also another water type.
08:02:09 syComp: Do they ever stop complaining about the cat?
08:08:02 Devastator: Hey, they had a catgirl, now all they needed was
a fire move. ;-p
08:08:31 syComp: I doubt these guys even know what Prequel is.
08:09:28 Devastator: Just realized something.
08:09:50 Devastator: Katia's dressing power extends to other people, including ones she doesn't even touch.
08:10:00 Devastator: Maybe she shouldn't have been taught telekinesis.
08:12:10 syComp: ...Yeah, because she can strip corpses.
08:12:32 Devastator: has she undressed
a corpse instantly in the comic?
08:12:35 Devastator: I don't remember that.
08:12:47 syComp: No, but the Oblivion protagonist can/
08:13:06 syComp: If you loot
a corpse of its clothes (which is instant) they visually lose the clothes on the gorund.
08:13:16 Devastator: You can also dress them like that.
08:13:35 syComp: So Katia is really good at undressing and redressing inanimate bodies.
08:15:01 Devastator: Ahh, she didn't blink them off Sigrid, sigrid ripped them off of herself.
08:15:22 Devastator: Although I am wondering when Sigrid saw her do that.
08:15:23 syComp: Yeah, and trashed them.
08:15:36 syComp: When she gifted all her stuff to Sigrid.
08:15:53 syComp: She said that Katia's clothes looked nice, and asked Katia if she could have them.
08:15:57 syComp: Katia complied instantly.
08:16:09 syComp: Venusaur is disappointing, and Gyarados is even moreso.
08:23:14 Devastator: I wonder if they'll take that to more absurd levels.
08:24:14 Devastator: Here, take this suit of full plate, Kaita.
08:24:36 Devastator: Here, steal this full plate that someone else is wearing, Katia.
08:24:48 syComp: I don't think you could do that.
08:24:58 Devastator: Steal this shirt someone is wearing under this set of full plate, Katia.
08:24:59 syComp: Could only steal zero-weight clothes, I think?
08:25:38 syComp: That though, yeah. Except it was impossible to wear clothes under armor. Buuut if you gave someone
a suit of weightless full plate, they'd instantly put it on, and THEN you could steal their clothes.
08:25:57 Devastator: Morrowind you could wear clothing under armour.
08:26:49 syComp: And clothing OVER armor, right?
08:26:59 syComp: Could wear robes or something to conceal plate?
08:27:43 Devastator: Yeah, you could put on robes on top.
08:28:17 Devastator: Heh, maybe I should have Saeko do that.
08:28:29 Devastator: wear her robes as armour, and strengthen clothes under that to act as more armour.
08:29:59 syComp: Does the system allow that?
08:30:18 syComp: IIRC
PW said something about multiple sets of armor always just taking only the best set into account.
08:30:27 Devastator: I'm certainly planning on doing that for the buffed-up gryphon. Give it boosted skin and armour.
08:30:44 syComp: Well, that was over
a year ago, so you could just ask again.
08:30:47 Devastator: I might be able to do special efforts instead.
08:30:49 syComp: It'll prolly work this time.
08:30:59 syComp: Also, I could be misremembering.
08:31:05 Devastator: have ordinary armour, but have, for instance, fire or shock-proof clothing.
08:31:33 Devastator: d6 vs everything, but d12 vs being set on fire.
08:32:10 syComp: But still d6 vs being shot, stabbed, or beaten.
08:32:14 syComp: Which are all more common.
08:32:41 syComp: And d12 isn't good enough to prevent all harm reliably, so you can't use d12 fire resistance to let you go walking through
a forest fire or something.
08:34:13 Devastator: I'm also planning on testing if I can add plusses to other things via strengthen and extra mana.
08:35:03 Devastator: Also, it might be 'best roll', not 'best die.'
08:35:17 Devastator: I'd take 1d6 with
a second 1d4 backing it up.
08:35:44 syComp: If, of course, it doesn't count as 1d6 alone.
08:36:33 Devastator: should get
PW on here for these questions.
08:37:25 syComp: Or you could join his Discord~
08:37:43 Devastator: nah, I'll send him
a PM.
08:47:24 Devastator: Putting an absurd amount of mana into that gryphon should be fun.
08:49:36 syComp: Just jam all the magic into it.
08:50:09 Devastator: If Alida doesn't end up getting turned into
a werewolf, I'll probably bring that up to fill that niche.
08:50:19 Devastator: Anything you'd like to see in
a huge friendly war animal?
08:51:37 Devastator: but yeah, any mana left over after this ridiculous underwter adventure is going straight down that creature's gullet.
09:05:34 Devastator:
PW wants me to fly across the entire continent and investigate the sunken cities in the black flux.
09:06:02 Devastator: I'm not doing that without something that could theoretically win a fight with
a small airship.
09:06:35 Devastator: Since, at the same time, he mentioned there were such armed airships around.
09:09:23 Devastator: ..when I specifically menioned that a flying creature should do
a good job of avoiding most hostile encounters.
09:10:28 syComp: Slow impractical vessels are therefore
a huge, inevitable issue.
09:11:03 Devastator: Hmm, that's
a point.
09:11:11 syComp: You'd probably be able to just say "Oh, an airship? Yeah let's fly in the other direction. We're way smaller so they shouldn't see us yet."
09:11:31 Devastator notes 'Enhanced Senses'
09:14:18 Devastator: Also, you're assuming. ;-p
09:15:14 Devastator: both for the gryphon and the airship. For all I know someone might have a flight or
a speed word.
09:15:36 Devastator: so the airship might be something pretty small with
a few riflemen on it.
09:15:57 syComp: So what? Strengthen your gryphon's speed or something, and you're gone.
09:16:39 Devastator: gotta spot it first, though.
09:16:45 Devastator: so yeah, enhanced senses are on the menu.
09:18:27 Devastator: (It's also not going to get that big.
PW said it's a big old pile of spells to carry three people and some supplies, and I'll still need to enlarge the supplies after they're on the ground to feed everyone for
a week.)
09:18:58 Devastator: plus strengthened speed is worse than enchanted with the actual speed word.
09:19:35 syComp: Not if you're strengthening the speed of
a fast thing, and the speed word is used on an immobile thing
09:19:55 syComp: Plus, there isn't actually anyone enchanting an airship. They're just things which exist because they're thematic.
09:20:17 syComp: Since airships are stereotypically big and slow, and they look neat like that, any which you encounter will be big and slow.
09:20:41 syComp: Yes, players could make
a fast one, but that's because players operate by logic, while encounters operate by narrative.
09:21:05 syComp: Eh,
PW being
PW isn't so relevant here.
09:21:32 syComp: Mostly I'd say that he wouldn't have there be no escape because he's nice and would only put the airship there so you could have fun fighting it, if you wanted to.
09:22:18 Devastator: Saeko wouldn't fight an enemy airship for fun.
09:24:55 Devastator: If it's
PW, there might be no escape so I have to fight.
09:25:52 syComp: He won't set it up specifically for that to be
a goal, though.
09:26:18 syComp: If that's how it ends up, that's how it ends up, but it would require some special effort to make an airship encounter inescapable.
09:28:28 Devastator: 'The airship is parked over the city, and they're enslaving people.'
09:29:56 syComp: I could totally see that happening, yeah.
09:30:04 syComp: Basically the same tactic as the mantis slavers.
09:32:15 Devastator:
PW did make me play Airships: Conquer the Skies, too.
09:32:37 syComp: Seemed too micro heavy, and very unbalanced.
09:33:15 syComp: Also, little to no explanation of advantages/disadvantages of many things.
09:35:23 Devastator: didn't seem that hard to me, but I mostly got lucky and hit on the thing that works early.
09:36:47 syComp: I was kinda handicapping myself and trying to play with
a single large airship which I expanded upon as I went, just because I like the style of that. It didn't work at all, most prominently because you quickly just can't make it any larger.
09:37:39 syComp: And then I stole a couple pirate ships (which can board), and realized that just stealing everyone else's ships is super cheap and easy. So I ended up with a force of
a few unbalanced megaships, and lots of random little stolen ships which I was bad at using.
09:37:55 Devastator: You do want to go with pretty big ships.
09:38:14 syComp: It was really
a sequence of choosing weird random tactics and trying to make them work, and them generally not working.
09:38:37 syComp: "Why don't I make
a groundship that just has tons of soldiers onboard, and ram it into enemy buildings, then board?"
09:38:40 Devastator: the only purpose of gasbag ships is to blow up.
09:38:52 syComp: It didn't work for me either.
09:38:59 syComp: Well, some buildings went down, early on.
09:39:41 syComp: But I found a fort on a cliff, which also had dragons, I think, and sent several hundred soldiers to attack it. I didn't understand why it didn't work, and it also slowed the game to
a crawl.
09:40:18 syComp: It was pretty amusing to attack bases with massed infantry charges, though.
09:40:56 Devastator: mostly because they all got killed and they seem to be shit at actually killing things.
09:41:13 syComp: I think that was the issue with the cliff.
09:41:26 syComp: They all entered one at
a time and got slaughtered in the chokepoint.
09:41:41 syComp: Airship boarding works better, because you drop
a whole bunch of troops at once.
09:41:51 syComp: Plus you can drop from multiple ships.
09:43:11 Devastator: although I never really found that better than just shooting them.
09:43:42 syComp: It's simpler to line up.
09:44:25 syComp: If you have six boarding ships clustered together only one even needs to get within range. The boarders will jump between ships until they can reach their target.
09:44:41 syComp: Plus their range is omnidirectional.
09:49:25 Devastator: Hmph, maybe I should be playing
a magical girl in CULT. That might be more fun.
09:49:40 Devastator: Perhaps I should retire this guy by wishing he gets his loving family back.
09:49:41 syComp: I keep forgetting that you *aren't*.
09:49:47 syComp: I should probably post in that game again.
09:50:29 Devastator: I'm probably going to be arrested by the cops, because it's my name on the space.
09:50:38 Devastator: and people are like calling in with incredibly incriminating evidence.
09:51:27 Devastator: My next turn is going to probably inlude stuff like "Phone, that's definately something I should get sorted out with Facilities." in response for the guy trying to call the temple.
09:52:42 Devastator: Hmm,
PW might pull the era setting. Isn't 85 pretty early for magical girls?
09:53:19 syComp: In PM3 there were magical girls since prehistory...
09:54:04 syComp: Copied from Wikipedia: "Manga and anime historians regard the Princess Knight manga, released in 1953, as the prototype for the magical girl genre.[1]:77 Himitsu no Akko-chan, serialized nine years later (1962) in Ribon, is generally accepted to be the earliest magical girl manga."
09:54:17 syComp: "Manga and anime historians".
09:56:25 Devastator: Don't see why they wouldn't exist.
09:57:27 Devastator: Might not fit with the physical deformities and mental imbalances, though.
10:00:20 Devastator: What's 50 characters to become one?
10:00:41 Devastator: you tell me those I'll consider those at the next favor point.
10:01:43 Devastator: aight, not going to do it then.
10:04:07 Devastator: "If I carry toast in my mouth, make me a magical girl for
a day."
10:05:11 syComp: It doesn't necessarily work more than once, and might never work.
10:05:36 syComp: It could be interpreted to mean "If I [...] right now.", and since you're talking you won't be, and therefore it'd fail.
10:05:53 Devastator: I was mostly making
a joke.
10:05:59 Devastator: That's also more than 50 characters.
10:06:05 Devastator: I'll accept two wishes, perhaps.
10:06:36 Devastator: Well, thanks for shooting the breeze.
10:06:43 Devastator: and running Pumsy's.
10:09:25 syComp: You're welcome, I guess?
10:09:35 Devastator: Well, you do good work.
10:09:40 Devastator: despite all the self-disparagement.
10:11:57 syComp: I'm sure some of my self-disparagement is helpful!
10:12:08 syComp: Wait no. No it's not everything I do is bad. ._.
10:14:27 Devastator: Keeps you trying to do better.
10:14:29 Devastator: important for that.
10:14:40 Devastator: You do great work, all the same.
10:17:39 Devastator: Tell you what, I'll make you
a deal.
10:17:51 Devastator: Give me
a wish before nightime of this day in CULT, I'll make it, regardless of what it says.
10:18:38 syComp: Immediately my mind fills with horrible ideas, none of which I should use.
10:18:50 syComp: How much longer will we have during this day, do you think?
10:19:01 syComp: Can I sleep and get you
a wish 20 hours from now?
10:19:09 Devastator: Probably about three turns.
10:19:13 Devastator: it's early afternoon.
10:23:10 Devastator: But if you want
a deadline, you have 24 hours from the upcoming half-hour.
10:23:52 syComp: Long as I get to sleep.
10:26:07 Devastator: although I'd still love to hear your first inspiration.
10:28:21 syComp: My first thought was "Girlcat,
a cat with human ears, hands, vocal cords, and feet."
10:31:45 Devastator: Well, anything goes.
10:31:52 Devastator: I will PM
PW first to inform him what happens.
10:33:28 Devastator: Or perhaps to make it
a suprise to me. ;-p
10:34:54 syComp: I could PM *him* the wish, and you don't get to know its content until your char makes it.
10:35:19 syComp: Oooh, if you don't know the actual content at all, even after, that gives me some great ideas.
10:36:37 Devastator: He might reroll it if it comes up
a 2.
10:36:51 syComp: So you want me to do that, or no?
10:36:58 Devastator: I'd have to run it by
PW.
10:37:04 Devastator: but I'm fine with that.
10:37:19 Devastator: which reminds me, I should check if the firebreath wish kicked in.
10:37:39 syComp: Well, send me
a PM informing me of your preference, within... oh, 18 hours?
10:37:47 syComp: That's prolly around the time I'll decide on something.
10:38:00 Devastator: "I wish I was
a space janitor, like my hero Roger Wilco."
10:38:07 Devastator: Sadly,
PW wouldn't get the reference. ;-p
10:42:15 syComp: Think I figured out what wish I want.
10:42:23 syComp: Character limit is annoying.
10:42:43 syComp: Means I can't get too crazy.
10:42:45 Devastator: You want it secret or not secret?
10:43:03 Devastator: well, if it has to be two I could live with that, but don't really have enough favor to make that work.
10:45:54 syComp: Nah, this one is simple and manageable with one favor, but interesting enough to be
a good choice.
10:46:03 syComp: It probably doesn't benefit much from being secret, though.
10:46:20 syComp: I imagine you'd figure it out quick even it it weren't. Unless, of course,
Piecewise gets creative.
10:46:34 syComp: So if you want I'll tell you.
10:47:47 Devastator: I'll decide that later. I'll wait for
PW's response for someone else using it.
10:50:05 syComp: "Make both my hands sapient pacifists who hate me"
10:50:21 Devastator: That's phenominally terrible.
10:51:13 syComp: I originally wanted them to be evil masterminds who hate each other, while only disliking you, but I can't figure out how to say that so efficiently.
10:51:44 Devastator: Might be too disabling.
10:54:15 Devastator: "Make each of my hands loath the other"
10:58:27 Devastator: I might have to struggle through that for
a day and then try to wish it away. It's incredibly crippling.
10:58:54 Devastator: well, should be fun for
a day, then.
10:59:06 Devastator: of course,
PW could interpret that very differently. There's other ways to read that.
10:59:28 syComp: Yeah, they're pacifists, they don't want to kill you.
10:59:50 syComp: Maybe I could have you wish for your hands to be copies of Guile, mentally.
11:00:06 Devastator: If they do want to kill me, then it's just Evil Dead. ;-p
11:00:07 syComp: Then they'd hate you, but be more subtle about it, and it's *almost* something that you could misconstrue as
a good thing.
11:00:39 Devastator: Well, you've got time before the deadline.
11:01:20 Devastator: "Make my hands kill people at
a touch."
11:02:14 Devastator: "Give me undeveloped forelimbs, as
a birth defect."
11:03:02 Devastator: "Make my body ruled by parliamentary committee."
11:04:28 syComp: One of my ideas *was* to make your body a democracy, with body part getting
a vote for every action you take.
11:04:33 syComp: But that sounds even more crippling.
11:05:01 Devastator: I'd just need to assemble
a majority coalition.'
11:05:05 Devastator: but yeah, that would suck.
11:05:11 Devastator: I dunno if
PW wants to run that, though.
11:05:14 Devastator: should run things by him.
11:05:35 syComp: Yeah. "Your hands hate you, but won't kill you" is pretty simple, easy, and entertaining.
11:05:57 Devastator: I wouldn't be able to open
a door.
11:06:18 Devastator: It's crippling, but maybe not that interesting.
11:06:45 Devastator: but yeah, I promised, think it over.
11:06:58 syComp: I wouldn't run that situation as being THAT obstructive.
11:07:33 syComp: Your hands gotta work with you somewhat, they don't want you dead. They are attached to you, after all.
11:07:55 syComp: Maybe I'll change it to something like them being religious and wanting you to reform your culty ways.
11:08:06 syComp: Jehova's Witness hands.
11:08:53 Devastator: Just think it over.
11:09:10 Devastator: I'll be fine with whatever, but if it's outrageously bad I might just wish it away.
11:10:02 Devastator: I'lll give it
a college try, and that wish might fail, so..
11:10:27 Devastator: so if you stick me as
a blob of protoplasmic slime, that might end up sticking. ;-p
11:11:51 syComp: "I wish that I can't make wishes"
11:12:15 Devastator: could still up stats.
11:12:22 Devastator: or use it to guarantee rolls.
11:14:54 Devastator:
PW might suggest that angelic wish. ;-p
11:18:00 Devastator: "As I gain favor, make me more angelic."
11:20:56 Devastator: That's why I'd run it by him, to make sure you get the proper amount of screwed.
11:29:16 Devastator: Watching O'Sullivan play snooker.
11:29:30 Devastator: Guy's 43 years old and still the best player of all time.
11:34:37 Devastator: Five years ago he took
a year off and didn't play professionally, until the end of the season where he decided to defend his world championship.
11:37:59 syComp: Well, even if he wasn't playing professionally, I find it hard to imagine he hadn't been doing anything.
11:40:12 Devastator: I'm sure he did some practice, but it wasn't much.
12:09:15 syComp has left #einsteinianroulette
19:32:51 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
20:50:34 Devastator:
PW ruled that natural armour stacks with real armour.
21:19:53 ER: huh, that's ann appropriate death quote
21:20:31 ER: "At certain point in our lives, we come to the understanding that health is more valuable than ammo."
21:23:45 ER: got it after entering level 4 and meeting
a horde of guards
21:31:48 Devastator: I should watch you.. you're better than I am.
21:57:22 Devastator: well, let me know if you stream it sometime.
22:09:51 Devastator: "We begin with the former winner of the World Grand Prix, and the Players Championship, and the 2011 UK Champion, The Ace in the Pack, Judd Trump!"
22:10:44 Devastator: "Seven times a Masters winner, six times a UK Champion, and Five times
a Champion of the World, the Rocket, Ronnie O'Sullivan!"
22:10:50 Devastator:
A little better intro, that. ;-p
22:11:15 Devastator: (Actually, Judds done quite well against the Rocket. He's beaten him several times before.)
22:15:26 Devastator: Judd has an 8-10 record, which is as good as anyone, really.
22:34:18 Devastator: Judd almost takes the first frame, he does
a difficult clearance and fails at the end.
22:34:46 Devastator: And the rocket misses
a pretty easy pot to take it right back.
22:39:56 Devastator: safety battle to finish the first frame. One of the more itneresting ones.
22:44:20 Devastator: And O'sullivan has
a chance for the kill but passes it up. Odd.
22:50:29 Devastator: So how's Ally doing,
ER?
22:56:36 Devastator: good lord, looked terrible there and then sinks one of his personal special plants to stay alive. (ball off other ball into pocket.)
22:59:37 Devastator: There are other people who are just as good or better at short potting, long potting, and safeties, but only O'sullivan can do plants like that.
