00:12:29 Topic set by Remalle!Variety@i2246816zi629tu21.vc.shawcable.net [Tuesday 03 January 2017, 06:26:56]

04:20:09 ER: sounds like metal. this is acceptable
04:49:49 Devastator: Heh, Irony's Wizard Kingdom.
04:50:11 ER: have we reached peak penis?
04:54:15 Devastator: ..I don't want to play that character.
04:54:33 MJ: I'm remineded of that one bit in
ER where Steve mentioned haveing to ban penis enchanments as a body mod due to it resulting in an arms race that eneded in one guy just slithering around on it like a naga
04:55:16 Devastator: "never enuff penis"
04:57:52 Devastator: Yeah, like that
MJ.
04:57:56 Devastator: Or the opposite, for that matter.
05:00:32 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:01:41 Devastator: No, nan didn't go that way. It'd probably would have broken forum rules, and I don't really want to make a GM describe endless sexual encounters.
05:01:48 ER: does this imply you believe in truth?
05:02:13 syv: >Doesn't really want to make a GM descrube endless sexual encounters.
05:02:48 MJ: She's a complex succubus. She's into things you wouldn't normally consider sexual. :P
05:03:09 Devastator: I probably would have done some of that after getting an apartment.
05:03:24 syv: I want to make a joke but I know too many things which that applies to, and which are just depressing instead of funny.
05:03:54 ER: silly things in reality being depressing
05:04:05 syv: Personally, I think it's funniest if the succubus is into the most vanilla stuff possible, and is weirded out by the depravity of humans.
05:04:56 Devastator: "She just wanted to cuddle, all the bizarre sex with non-humans was for power."
05:05:26 ER: Yeah, Nan was... a succubus in it for the power
05:05:52 syv: "Wait, uh, can we turn the lights out?" "What? Why?" "Uhh, I don't want you to see, uhh..."
05:06:54 Devastator: I'm not sure if it's Nan or the other creature talking there.
05:08:21 syv: Headcanon is that it's some succubus which has a visual effect that could tip off her prey, so she's trying to come up with an excuse to turn the lights out. I find this amusing.
05:09:28 Devastator: That's some effect. I'd expect any decent succubus to be able to do the 'don't look at that, look at my face' thing instead.
05:09:34 syv: This sounds like
MJ's thing.
05:09:52 MJ: s the album that appears in.
05:10:01 syv: Oh, you actually linked something that that's from?
05:10:21 syv: I meant "This sounds like the sort of thing
MJ would like."
05:10:51 MJ: Actually might not be the album. Same guy at any rate
05:10:55 ER: I linked the timestamp for a song with lyrics which appear to involve demonic possession~
05:11:36 syv: Incompetent succubi are more amusing,
Dev. Competent ones are horror, but much like a serial killer with a spoon, reduce competence and it becomes a comedy.
05:12:04 Devastator: too bad, I wanted to go the horror route.
05:13:19 syv: Wasn't there some Planescape material which pointed out that succubi were generally inexperienced and had a *negative* view of sex, since they killed with even a kiss and couldn't turn it off? Also, they were supposed to be demons representing punishment for an emotion, not the emotion itself, really?
05:13:32 Devastator: Something like that.
05:13:36 syv: I recall reading this somewhere and liking the idea, but I forget the source.
05:13:42 Devastator: It would make sense, though.
05:14:32 Devastator: I don't think Nan could actually kill through sex, though.
05:14:50 syv: ...Maybe that was from Torment. It would line up well with Grace's whole story.
05:14:53 ER: I see them as a type of demon, and demons as things that exist for the explicit purpose of making people suffer by any means possible.
05:15:03 MJ: IIRC succubi were orginally a bunch of old women
05:15:37 syv: Yeah,
ER. And actually having sex isn't exactly suffering. Dying to the first kiss? That *sucks*. Or, well, doesn't, I guess/
05:16:25 ER: Though instant death by kiss is probably fast enough to not be able to tell what's happening.
05:16:40 syv: IIRC the original succubi were excuses by priests to explain wet dreams, and why women ended up pregnant with kids that looked like them, swearing that the priest was the father.
05:17:14 syv: "No! It was a shapeshifting demon which stole my seed in the night! THE CHILD IS SPAWN OF SATAN! BURN IT, AND HER, JUST TO BE SAFE!"
05:19:08 MJ: I saw the wet dreams part. Not so much the other.
05:19:53 Devastator: It wasn't just priests, it was explaining how unmarried people got pregnant without blaming the guy.
05:21:07 ER: so much of fantasy is about taking some insane things that peasants thought and turning it into something so different that it no longer resembles the source.
05:21:07 MJ: yeah that was more of what I found
syv
05:21:56 syv: Eh, I'm sure plenty of peasants thought of succubi in a more... modern way.
05:22:26 syv: Just wasn't socially acceptable to be open about that.
05:24:52 syv: My only objection is that
Dev is present, and the original purpose of getting multiple series was so that we'd have something for any combination of present people.
05:25:05 syv: ...But I do want to see the end of AoT.
05:26:50 Devastator: It's fine, go watch it.
05:27:03 Devastator: I'm busy about the next three weeks with work anyway.
05:27:07 Devastator: January should be more open.
05:28:18 MJ: oh yeah I'm gonna be busy for a while after this. Miiiggghhht be free Friday
05:28:37 MJ: but that's really gonna be about it.
05:29:02 MJ: There's an awesome band named the pixies
05:29:11 MJ: Maybe he's named after that
05:29:45 syv: Oh, I looked up the lyrics, this song specifically names Eren and talks about hoe he shapes things.
05:29:49 Devastator: Pixis and the Pixies.
05:30:02 MJ: heh. That does sound like a rock band
dev
05:30:10 syv: It makes it very clear that he's too important to die.
05:30:20 MJ: See
syv, Bilungalism just creates spoilers
05:30:39 Devastator: Where does that happen in the Thing?
05:30:46 syv: Did the Finns actually explain anything usefully?
05:30:57 syv: I thought they just babbled about the dog being a monster.
05:31:13 MJ: IIRC they actually name a few things about it.
05:31:42 MJ: It's actually the walking dead. Anime addition
05:32:24 MJ: oh hey, they're the French army WWI.
05:33:13 ER: This humanity has serious morale problems
05:33:43 ER: are big doofy naked dudes really so terrifying?
05:33:58 MJ: hahah, they are all fucked without TitanEren.
05:34:21 ER: guess he's giant meat jesus
05:34:23 Devastator: Last episode, they all have to fail terribly.
05:35:18 MJ: .....what the hell is the commander drinking?
05:35:22 syv: Giant invulnerable cannibalistic toddlers ARE pretty terrifying.
05:35:38 ER: "hey, this guy apparantly has magical powers or something, so that's the plan"
05:35:40 MJ: Also I'm kinda suprised they can hear him
05:36:02 syv: He was promoted because of his shouting skills.
05:36:13 MJ: heh, that would be hilarious
05:36:17 ER: Huh, he's good at marketing
05:36:42 syv: He should be, at his rank.
05:36:44 MJ: I'm really quite glad they're barbie doll naked.
05:37:21 ER: ...he thinks titan!eren can be DISCREET?
05:37:24 syv: Why is this not standard procedure...?
05:37:41 MJ: Everyon'es an idiot but Armin
05:37:59 ER: The smart guy can only be as smart as the author
05:38:04 syv: Easiest way to write a genius: Make every one else complete idiots.
05:38:11 ER: so everyone else must be dumber than the author
05:38:39 Devastator: Titans, your one-stop source for all your discreet operatives.
05:39:14 MJ: oh hey they are the French Army.
05:39:57 ER: nothing gets people motivated like "you can leave"
05:40:12 syv: More being reminded of their family.
05:40:25 syv: Clever to fold "If you have family, you can leave" into it.
05:41:10 syv: They have MOUNTAINS in there.
05:41:15 MJ: These things are fucking huge
05:41:36 syv: This episode is just "Dot Pixis does a speech", isn't it?
05:41:53 MJ: Every epsiode seems to like doing one thing
05:42:04 ER: seems like one big thing happens per episode, yeah
05:42:08 syv: Yeah. This could've been done in ten minutes. Five, with some skill.
05:42:29 syv: ...Then again, timestamps say that's how long it took/
05:42:38 syv: Change that to "Two minutes".
05:42:40 MJ: I think Five would be losing something.
05:42:51 syv: It'd be losing the cruft, yes.
05:43:03 MJ: I like some cruft on my stuff.
05:43:26 syv: This isn't a book, though.
05:43:43 MJ: There is a lot of repetition here
05:43:53 syv: You've gotta wait as long for the episode to finish as the rest of us, can't use your supereading skill to power through.
05:44:44 syv: He was telling him to drink some liquid courage.
05:45:29 MJ: I mean it seems to be all pixis does.
05:45:51 syv: Pause when it reaches 18:00, I have to go for a couple mins.
05:46:39 ER: good thing his titan power scales with how determined he is~
05:48:12 MJ: I think his determination doesn't have a uper limit on his roll
05:48:23 syv: Back, apologies. All ready?
05:49:17 MJ: That glasses girl has the least intrested run I've ever seen
05:49:46 syv: Did they explain why there's a giant boulder sitting there?
05:49:59 MJ: I think it may have been from the giant dude
05:50:15 syv: This conversation serves NO purpose.
05:50:36 syv: We already know all this, Eren knows all this, everyone knows all this, and it has been stated many times.
05:50:56 MJ: They want you to really feeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllll the pathos of people dying
05:51:18 syv: But this is like hammering a roofing nail in with a sledgehammer.
05:51:23 ER: well, it makes him more DETERMINED
05:52:08 syv: She covered the wrong ear.
05:52:30 syv: This really looks so awesome.
05:52:45 syv: Trost is the city segment they're in.
05:52:59 syv: It's one of the airlock sections.
05:53:33 syv: He's still sane, he's just a jerk/
05:54:25 ER: Eren might have some control issues to work out with his mech
05:55:12 syv: I'll say when we get there.
05:56:55 syv: ...Started a 1:20, if that was non-obvious.
05:57:46 MJ: So wall Maria is completetlly breached and is now titan dominated outside and Rose has a hole in it?
05:57:53 syv: Should we skip the OP of the next episode, too?
05:58:01 syv: It's great, but we've watched it a dozen times.
05:58:04 MJ: Where's the hole in Rose that's not letting all of the titans in?
05:58:36 syv: There's a hole in Trost's wall, which is an airlock of Rose, and I don't think Rose has a second hole yet.
05:58:43 ER: all the walls have walled cities around the edges. Right now the city is breached but not the main wall
05:58:43 MJ: Oh, so it's in a weak point that they have the gate.
05:58:46 syv: The Armored titan didn't show,
05:59:35 MJ: That's some high casualities for like staying out of trouble as much as possible
05:59:36 ER: they lost 20% by avoiding combat, in extreme mobility suits?
06:00:51 MJ: Man, Titan erin is not particuarlly smart
06:01:11 syv: They're great at naming heights.
06:01:13 ER: bet he'll fight those titans
06:02:14 MJ: ...How are 20% combat losses even sustaniable if that's with a mimmum risk style
06:02:41 ER: I guess they're all as bad at flying around as a beginner at that fan game
06:02:57 syv: He supported using a titan as a tool when he didn't understand it, and he's openly joked about having a vore fetish.
06:03:34 syv: Yeah, it is really really hard to survive in that game, and you're blatantly much more mobile in it than people are in this universe.
06:04:19 MJ: Fair enough, I'm just suprised they even have an army.
06:04:54 syv: They try to never engage, except for the absolute elites, and even they take heavy losses.
06:05:04 syv: They have a garrison, not an army.
06:05:21 Devastator: I suppose if you have 75% of the army do nothing, you're only going to have 20% casulties.
06:06:01 syv: Ten minutes in, nothing has happened.
06:06:15 syv: Just a lot of people being moderately stressed.
06:06:16 MJ: Maybe things will get cool in the last ten
06:06:31 Devastator: Hell, the WW1 air force had units commonly take 100% casulties in a month.
06:06:32 MJ: That mans eyes have seen things
06:06:42 syv: Good point! In those ten minutes, we had ten seconds of funny.
06:07:20 syv: Dude's running when he has flight gear.
06:07:59 ER: he's running on TOP of the wall, which is safe
06:08:03 syv: ...You know, I bet each half episode is taken directly from one manga chapter.
06:08:24 MJ: Is manga about as slow as western comic books?
06:10:17 Devastator: They generally don't reboot a properly every five years.
06:10:22 Devastator: How strong on the PS scale?
06:10:37 syv: Talented Bravery *and* Joy.
06:10:53 syv: A bit more than both, really, she never fails.
06:11:33 MJ: Armin finnally puts it together
06:12:46 MJ: Also I wonder if Titan flesh is really weak.
06:13:10 ER: if it's weak, why don't they collapse
06:13:12 syv: Their swords cut out huge chunks, and Eren regularly punches his hands off.
06:16:26 MJ: Fuck it, I'll watch the last episode. I want to see something happen.
06:16:43 syv: I think Eren will roar in a minute.
06:16:55 syv: After Armin whinges sufficiently.
06:17:09 MJ: This show is whinge powered
06:17:27 MJ: They can only do awesome things after a sufficent amount of whinging happens
06:17:49 syv: Except for Eren, he screams at things instead.
06:18:06 syv: Leaving for a few minutes, prep the next ep at whatever time we're starting.
06:18:28 ER: the opening is too awesome to skip, I say
06:18:51 MJ: I say we skip past the recap but watch the opening
06:20:41 ER: LAST TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z: *screaming*
06:20:56 MJ: You know if Titan flesh is so weak and they get eaten alive you'd think occasionally people would cut their way out
06:21:09 ER: NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z: *screaming*
06:22:23 MJ: I pray to god something willl happen
06:22:41 ER: sorry
MJ, not till season five~
06:22:46 syv: I bet someone eventually will cut their way out... in the second season.
06:23:30 ER: hopefully S2 will move a little faster, having set shit up already
06:23:31 MJ: Probably. They ended up in the stomach first episode of season 2. For the finale they finnally stop talking to the people in the stomach and cut their way out.
06:24:04 syv: Hopefully, yes, but most stories slow down as they drag on.
06:24:18 MJ: Also yay, they actually have heat on in this dorm
06:24:38 syv: There was three minutes of pre show recap, then some more here.
06:25:00 syv: Why are there so many of these things?
06:25:22 syv: Yes, rip the buckled leather off.
06:25:30 MJ: John really should have taken Scavenged Pro as his perk
06:25:34 Devastator: did everyone spend an episode doing nothing but powering up?
06:25:49 MJ: nah. Just whinging about how they are all going to die
06:25:52 syv: They just whined and complained about their lot in life.
06:26:04 ER: no, they exclusively power dOWN
06:27:02 syv: ...Maybe they aren't less mobile than the game.
06:27:12 syv: They just regularly forget how poerfuk their gear is.
06:27:35 ER: Just a state of flow I think.
06:27:56 MJ: Like you have to just have things line up
06:28:38 syv: Really though, how is retreat hard when you can jump up to the wall almost anywhere along the perimeter?
06:29:16 MJ: Also you'd think they might take advantage of a lack of intrest to grapple kill
06:29:29 MJ: heh. Erin is now an escort mission
06:29:54 syv: Did he just get crushed in an instant?
06:30:18 syv: "We're born free" as he watches a woman br split in half.
06:30:27 syv: No. Can't kill named characters.
06:30:54 syv: Why is his voice autotuned?
06:31:28 syv: And WHY do people keep jumping into titan mouths to pull others out, getting eaten in the provess?
06:31:49 syv: WHERE DID THIS ROCK COME FROM.
06:31:55 syv: IT IS BIGGER THAN THE HOLE.
06:33:19 MJ: hey one sec I'm getting a call
06:34:54 syv: You know, I kinda want to see a compilation of Titan!Eren and Armin screaming.
06:35:09 syv: Just take every one of their screaming scenes, and alternate the two.
06:35:11 ER: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa
06:35:29 ER: how much does armin scream?
06:35:29 syv: They both just have perfect screams.
06:35:44 syv: Not as much, but he's around much more, so it probably balances out?
06:36:14 syv: I love how he has a scream of confused, but determined terror.
06:36:34 syv: "I'M SCARED OF SOMETHING AND I REALLY WANT TO SCARE IT OFF PLEASE GO AWAY!"
06:36:39 Devastator: Is there a reverse? A scream of terror-filled determination?
06:36:45 ER: also this is a video of panning for lead at a shooting range and that's brilliant
06:38:41 syv: Frying pan filled with holes. Perfect.
06:44:38 syv: It's 2 AM, who is calling you with something important?
06:45:49 syv: ...Okay, I hope it wasn't actually something really important, like danger or something. :(
06:46:39 MJ: It's not super important, just needs to be dealt with sooner than later.
06:51:10 Devastator: rincewind has no determination.
06:52:35 Devastator: there's a quote in teleglitch where they have to train the zombie kids to stop playing kids games with each other, it makes the other soldiers feel bad.
06:54:45 MJ: And Rincewind does have determination. It's to keep running for ever
06:55:15 MJ: and sorry about that. Everytings taken care of now.
06:55:17 Devastator: Nothing more than fried potatoes.
06:55:25 Devastator: ..they'll never find the body..
06:57:29 MJ: Man, cannons seem honestly pretty effective.
06:57:54 syv: When you can fire them for hours, continually, at an immobile target below yoy, yes
06:57:59 ER: well, if the enemy can't reach you shooting them for a few days is gonna work
06:58:44 syv: He's one of the characters in the tribute game.
06:58:57 MJ: So I guess he has some import then.
06:59:39 syv: She looks utterly shellshocked.
07:00:11 syv: ...Every female, but specifically the doctorish one.
07:00:31 MJ: She'll be fine. She's probably just running on autopilot at this point.
07:00:43 ER: the males just express their shellshock differently
07:01:14 MJ: Levi has the doesn't care about anything anymore trait
07:01:53 MJ: Why don't they just ask the doctor? he said he was going to be in the innner wall.
07:02:24 MJ: Fair point. I'm just suprised he's managed to remain hidden all this time
07:02:48 syv: Maybe he's a titan who turns into a human, so they don't eat him.
07:02:58 MJ: That would be kinda cool actually
07:03:24 MJ: Your latent serial killer is just what we need in the scouts
07:03:52 MJ: The charecters pretty good too :P
07:04:14 syv: Not least because his special is the best in the game.
07:04:24 syv: Are we gonna watch S2 sometime?
07:04:51 MJ: Yeah. I don't have anywhere near enough free time for it these next three weeks.
07:04:54 ER: Yeah, but let's finish jormenderner and spinal face first]
07:05:20 syv: I'll work on getting it, anyway.
07:05:54 MJ: Also that's a smart idea. Let's antagonize the guy who can turn into a titan at will
07:05:56 ER: but they already fucking did that
07:06:20 syv: Huh. The third season aired just a month ago.
07:06:52 ER: like sure it's realistic that the people in charge of the army who aren't weirdo old men would try to investigate, but it's kinda superfluous
07:07:00 syv: ...Also, there's, uh, actually 25 episodes in Season 1.
07:07:22 syv: I'll work on getting the rest tonight.
07:07:24 ER: well, guess we got more ride for our ride
07:07:42 ER: good thing we ended at the end of any arc, then
07:08:10 syv: 49 total, so far. S3 only has 12 eps so far, and last aired Oct 15 (in Jap), and Nov 11 (in Eng)
07:08:15 MJ: 'm really sad they never made more than one episode of AOT abriged.
07:08:36 Devastator: Watching pikasprey blue trying to beat the first 'real' match after the tutorial with the deck tuned to lose. "This didn't go the way I planned."
07:08:51 syv: There's apparently also some specials which take place between 3&4.
07:08:56 Devastator: I don't think I've seen it.
07:09:47 syv: Dot Pyxis' name is spelled "Dot Pyxis", apparently.
07:10:00 ER: welp, that explains why they're willing to waste time, it's actually a super frikkin long series. -_-
07:10:26 Devastator: no 12 episode speedrun like PMMM?
07:10:43 syv: 12 episodes is standard though.
07:11:05 ER: pmmm is like, amazingly restrained :P
07:11:08 syv: PM3 has phenomenal pacing, admittedly, and tells a lot more story than most do.
07:11:16 Devastator: Got a link to the abridged series,
MJ? It seems some imitators sprung up.
07:11:25 Devastator: even if it's one ep, maybe I should watch it.
07:11:36 MJ: I would highlly recomend watching it.
07:12:01 syv: It seems some imitators sprung up, so he's not sure which one you're recommending.
07:12:40 Devastator: I figure there's one real one and several crappy imitations.
07:12:54 MJ: Yeah I haven't seen any of the imtitators
07:12:55 Devastator: 20 minutes seems.. unabridged.
07:13:30 syv: So basically it tells the story as if the writers were good at pacing.
07:13:54 MJ: It's honestlly really well done.
07:13:59 syv: Eren's last name is apparently spelled "Yeager" originally, not "Jaeger", which fits their pronunciation much better. I kept thinking it sounded like Yeager, like Chuck Yeager.
07:14:15 Devastator: They're the same word, though.
07:14:19 MJ: it's not German for hunter?
07:14:41 syv: I've always heard them being pronounced differently.
07:14:50 syv: Must be my American accent.
07:15:40 ER: guessing the pacing is off because it was adapted from manga and they had to choose between being snappy and being faithful
07:16:06 syv: Ahh. "Jaeger" is an incorrect transcription; it's "Jäger", pronounced "Yeager".
07:16:31 syv: So everyone I've heard say it "Jay-gerr" was wrong.
07:17:30 syv: ...Which means the Japanese version of the anime spelled the German word in English correctly, and then the English dub respelled it to an incorrect version.
07:17:34 ER: wait, you've heard people pronounce it as jay-gerr?
07:18:39 ER: pretty sure it's supposed to be spelled Jayger in english though. Whatever "supposed to" means for language.
07:19:02 Devastator: Also, those are clearly unrifled cannon.
07:19:18 syv: "Yeager" is correct, phonetically.
07:19:31 syv: J doesn't make a Y sound in English most of the time.
07:20:01 syv: Unless, where you like, "John" is a homophone of "Yawn"?
07:20:12 ER: yeah, but since when did we care if a word isn't spelled like it's pronounced?
07:20:50 MJ: The voice of the drill sergant is amazing in the abriged.
07:26:42 syv:
MJ,
ER, what is the last J ep you have downloaded?
07:26:51 MJ: What's funny
syv is that the abriged ends on Jäger getting nomed.
07:27:01 syv: Asking to ensure you both have DLs before I take them down.
07:27:21 MJ: So I legit though that's how Attack on titan ended it's first episode
07:28:54 MJ: I have 8 as my last episode of J
07:28:55 ER: would it be improved by him staying dead?
07:29:38 Devastator: Also, those cannons are not real cannons.
07:29:39 syv: Someone else could titan up. Maybe Mikasa.
07:29:56 syv: Of course not,
Dev. They're 2d.
07:31:25 syv: Apparently there's three AoT MOVIES, the first two of which are actually just recaps of the first season.
07:32:00 MJ: We are not watching the first Two.
07:32:05 syv: The first one covers E01-E13. Second E14-E25
07:32:23 syv: Everything we watched was the first movie alone.
07:32:26 MJ: Though it might force it to have some paceing so
07:32:40 syv: Presumably, cut down, with less AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
07:33:11 syv: We could just watch the second movie instead of finishing the rest of the season normally.
07:33:13 ER: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is like the one good kind of filler though! D:
07:33:19 syv: Would make it simpler for me.
07:33:54 MJ: I feel like that's just cheating at this point. If I'm going to suffer I'm going to suffer the right way
07:34:36 syv:
MJ, weren't you planning to sleep an hour and a half ago>

07:35:13 syv: "Displaying results 1-75 out of 269 results" ._.
07:35:39 syv: "Season 1 Complete [480p]"
07:36:07 syv: There's 269 of them, there's gotta be a decent 720p.
07:36:28 syv: There's also a thirty gig S1+S2+OVA 1080p compilation
07:36:53 syv: Under Eng translation. -.-
07:37:44 syv: Do you want Jap? I can narrow it down further and only get dual-audio.
07:38:27 syv: I'm not DLing 30 gigs of anime that I won't watch so I can upload it for you, though. So Dual or Eng are your options.
07:38:28 ER: might feel a little wierd to swap that in the middle
07:38:43 Devastator: Will the voices be squeaky?
07:40:23 syv: From what I've seen, only a few dudes get deep voices, everyone else ranges from pipsqueak to just hitting puberty.
07:40:41 Devastator: Which one is potato-girl?
07:40:48 Devastator: and please tell me everyone actually calls her that.
07:40:53 syv: No idea, because I watched the dub.
07:41:09 syv: Several characters call her that. More than her actual name, I think.
07:41:26 syv: She's a side character though, and usually just isn't mentioned.
07:43:03 syv: There, finally found a full S1 dual audio 720p torrent with seeds.
07:43:33 Devastator: In before it turns out to be Finnish/Swedish.
07:43:43 syv: Same uploader also has a 1080p, which is almost 4x the size.
07:44:05 syv: No, it specifies that the tracks are Jap and Eng.
07:45:07 syv: Anyway, if you value quality over size, and are more technically competent than
MJ, I can send you the 1080p torrent link.
07:47:42 ER: you're trying to trick me into responding to compsyDontRespond
07:48:08 syv: Normally mibbit opens a new tab when Iend PMs.
07:49:14 Devastator: I am a little disappointed to find out that people turn into Titans.
07:50:17 syv: Eh. I knew about it years and years ago.
07:50:29 ER: titans try to eat him, so he's just a v. large human
07:50:36 syv: I just didn't remember it was EREN who did it.
07:51:51 syv: He's a titan made of human flesh.
07:52:06 syv: If he were a giant human he'd have genitals. And lips. And cheeks.
07:52:30 ER: maybe he has those things but they're just human sized
07:54:06 syv: Oh, protip: qBittorrent lets you deselect some files so they're not downloaded.
07:54:38 ER: handy buy fuckit I'll download em all
07:55:52 syv: It also tracks your share ratio and tells you whether you're seeding or leeching more.
07:56:01 Devastator: Change torrent clients,
syv?
07:56:21 syv: No? I've used qBT for a long time.
07:56:36 syv: I think I used uTorrent before, but it was bad.
07:56:38 Devastator: ahh, just wondering.
07:57:35 ER: I don't know how it works and don't care much
07:58:09 ER: it has a lot of numbers on it but I know where to put in a link and I know what bar fills up till it's done
07:59:20 ER: oh well, better get some rest
07:59:27 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
08:00:50 syv: "Attack on Titan: Junior High"
08:01:51 syv: "This school comedy story is set in a junior high school, and centers on the original manga's characters [...] as they battle with titans. The spin-off incorporates gags while using [AoT's] story and notable scenes as its basis."
08:02:27 Devastator: That sounds pretty bad.
08:02:33 Devastator: like bad fanfic but with movies.
08:02:49 syv: Twelve episodes. Latest comment says "Anime would be so good without the upskirt shots."
08:03:57 Devastator: Next comment: Needs more upskirt shots.
08:04:24 syv: A load of people saying it's cute and funny though.
08:04:32 syv: I have no doubt it would be agony for me.
08:05:16 syv: Another spin-off: "Attack on Titan: Lost Girls". Summary? "Bundled with the 24th, 25th, and 26th volumes of the manga."
08:05:31 syv: The damn source material has TWENTY SIX VOLUMES.
08:05:43 Devastator: Yeah. Volumes can be pretty small, though.
08:05:55 Devastator: like 25 pages, say.
08:06:15 syv: That's not a volume, that's a chapter.
08:06:48 syv: Oh, this one looks decent. An origin story for Levi and Erwin, not that I have any clue who Erwin is.
08:07:13 syv: ...It's apparently aimed at females.
08:07:34 Devastator: So was PM3.. technically.
08:07:43 syv: Though I've no idea what that even means anymore when used in reference to anime.
08:08:18 syv: Recall awhile ago when I tried watching those two airsoft gun animes, and was PMing you about Duke Nukem selling them guns?
08:09:31 syv: Apparently of those two shows, one was aimed at guys, one at girls. The former was fanservice, utterly stupid, and became rapidly intolerable. The latter started weirder, but was far saner, and ended up with the characters using very real and practical combat tactics.
08:10:32 Devastator: "Always bet on the Duke."
08:10:33 syv: The gun anime ostensibly aimed at women was the one with proper tactics, something I've never even seen in anime before, while the dude one got around nipple censorship by having bullet holes in tits instead.
08:10:50 syv: I no longer trust target audience markers.
08:11:37 Devastator wistfully wishes to be using combat tactics in PS.
08:11:45 Devastator: Not your fault, though.
08:12:02 syv: Eh. They wouldn't necessarily work well.
08:12:21 syv: Suppression, for instance, isn't gonna be scary to many familiars.
08:12:47 syv: But if all of you obtained guns and then trained with them, that'd really improve your odds, yeah.
08:13:17 syv: Critfails won't always mean team shots, they just mean team shots when you're shooting past moving allies.
08:13:29 Devastator: It doesn't mean realistic combat tactics.
08:15:10 Devastator: Let me pick you up and jump into the air while the other characters fight? That'd be great.
08:15:26 Devastator: keeps you safe and puts me in a good position to act next.
08:15:51 Devastator: Plus I might find a good spot for you to snipe from, while remaining mostly safe.
08:17:33 Devastator: "Yeah, this was basically an episode from the anime."
08:20:29 Devastator: the next pikasprey episode.
08:20:49 Devastator: "That 200LP-stall-into-last-turn-win was some anime shit"
08:21:07 syv: BELIEVE IN THE HEART OF THE CARDS
08:21:23 syv: ALSO THE ABS, THIGHS, AND BICEPS OF THE CARDS
08:21:39 syv: THEY ARE ALL INTEGRAL PARTS OF THE WHOLE
08:22:17 syv: I've only seen two episodes of TTS, which is weird since both of those episodes were phenomenal.
08:22:54 Devastator: They're not all phenominal, but many of them are.
08:23:19 Devastator: Also, he just lost to Tea, who is a garbage throwaway character when she drew into a 3 turn win.
08:25:14 syv: Maybe Yu-Gi-Oh is a garbage game.
08:25:21 Devastator: It is a garbage game.
08:25:31 Devastator: That doesn't mean it can't make for good trainwrecks.
08:25:57 Devastator: "I can't believe that the game actually plays this way." ;-p
08:31:24 syv: Apparently there actually was a real AoT game. It is vastly simpler than the tribute game, with the manuvering pretty much being "Press button to automatically fire hooks and go in whichever direction you want. Lock on to orbit titan. Press other button to kill it."
08:31:39 Devastator: so like most games?
08:31:45 syv: It looks boring and trivial, and got a sequel.
08:32:52 syv: The titans also have more stun locationsm and stay stunned for longer.
08:34:10 Devastator: sounds even more popular.
08:34:44 syv: If you're caught, pressing the attack key frees you.
08:40:12 syv: The sequel somehow looks worse.
08:40:47 syv: It's a graphical improvement, but seemingly purely due to the engine. They screw up effects constantly.
08:41:38 syv: It absolutely looks like a cash in because they knew it would sell as long as it looked kinda like the anime, regardless of actual quality as a game.
08:42:52 syv: Rating on Steam: Very Positive.

09:05:13 Devastator: Maybe I should collect guns instead of messing about with wishes.
09:15:18 syv: "How to lure a
syv back into the game."
09:17:50 Devastator: or maybe do both, really.
09:18:09 Devastator: I mean a giant werewolf could theoretically handle a bigger than normal gun, right?
09:18:51 syv: I assure you, it is entirely possible for you to obtain a variety of anti-materiel rifles, and they wouldn't be overkill, either!
09:19:58 Devastator: Well, that's a goal then.
09:20:20 Devastator: Next question, what's the biggest gun she could handle each week?
09:24:07 syv: Not only does that require me defining her size each weak, it also requires me to then define a single gun that's at the edge of her capacity at that size.
09:24:36 syv: Ask me later if she survives what the heaviest gun she could handle by her strength at the time.
09:24:40 Devastator: (Not really serious there.)
09:24:57 syv: (Also, with CC, the answer is "anything man-portable, and some stuff which isn't")
09:25:01 Devastator: ..after I talk Sasha into doing it, and deciding to learn to use guns.
09:25:18 Devastator: (Yeah, but part of the point of this is to be able to do something without the minor-every-turn cost of CC.
09:26:12 syv: I still kinda want a magical girl to use a mortar as her primary.
09:26:14 Devastator: Eh, pretty easy anyway. First week would be something like an AM rifle or MMG.
09:26:29 Devastator: Second week would be either the same or slightly bigger versions of such.
09:27:00 Devastator: Aircraft autocannons would probably be on the table at about ten feet tall, or in a month.
09:27:46 syv: Giant werewolf with an autocannon...
09:27:54 Devastator: well, yes. Why not?
09:28:02 Devastator: I mean, there would definately be ammunition limits.
09:28:37 Devastator: And it would definately take some modification.
09:28:46 syv: Man, if that happens, I'm gonna have to change the thread's title to "Pumsy's Seeds - The game with an autocannon toting werewolf!"
09:29:12 Devastator: "Lets see you beat me with the power of friendship this time."
09:29:32 Devastator: Nah, call it "Explorations in military hardware and Lycanthropy since 2019."
09:30:02 syv: Sometimes, stupid wishes result in suffering. Other times, stupid wishes result in PURE AWESOME.
09:30:11 Devastator: You can have both,
syv.
09:30:19 Devastator: no reason it can't be stupid awesome AND regular stupid.
09:30:38 syv: I fail to see how one could suffer while being an autocannon-toting werewolf.
09:31:05 syv: Any thoughts of sadness are quickly banished by the reminder that you're an autocannon toting werewolf.
09:31:57 Devastator: "..I didn't find a solution to the electrical trigger mechanism on this autocannon."
09:32:00 Devastator: But yeah, that's a good point.
09:33:59 Devastator: On the whole it'd be awesome, but regular magical girls are powerful on that scale already. Just less awesome, most of the time.
09:35:30 Devastator: "Your next burst is now aided by my ability to summon giant explosions."
09:36:44 Devastator: You know, having the bomb penetrate directly inside the middle of the giant witch probably would enhance it's effect.
09:37:48 Devastator: or have the Joy activate CC for the reflexes to make it explode inside the head of the target.
09:38:20 Devastator: And plus you can still throw in small witches if you wish to limit her usability and spread the load among the other MGs.
09:41:20 Devastator: or drugs, special effects, bursts of agression..
09:45:56 Devastator: Hmm, looking into early autocannon. The americans have absolutely no excuse for their absurdly terrible versions of the Hispano-Suiza 20mm cannons.
09:46:12 Devastator: "Look, here's one that works fine. Just make a copy."
09:51:15 Devastator: It's good for them the Japanese only built fairly lightly-built aircraft.
09:51:27 Devastator: Gotta be a better way to phrase that.
09:52:55 syv: "Largely unarmored aircraft"?
09:54:00 Devastator: It's good for the the Japanese produced only lightly-built aircraft.
10:03:47 Devastator: It really would be non-trivial to modify them for her. Particularly since you couldn't just measure the paws, they'll be larger tomorrow. Have to get a different gun every dungeon, most likely.
10:06:05 Devastator: well, maybe not every dungeon. Still, gear will be an issue.
10:06:12 Devastator: And no making armour, that's for sure.
10:06:19 Devastator: Maybe a riot shield kind of thing.
10:06:32 Devastator: eh, might modify a club a few times to do that eventually.
10:07:30 syv: Just make the gun easily modifiable to accept a new grip, then make a few grips.
10:09:25 Devastator: Oh god, it happened AGAIN.
10:09:45 Devastator: Two seperate times the opponent draws out with two cards in his deck.
10:10:48 Devastator: in super-dramatic one card comeback anime style.
10:19:56 Devastator: Well, she'd have shit aim, that's for sure.
10:21:29 Devastator: She could probably hold onto the gun pretty well, but controlling the recoil should be pretty ridiculous.
10:21:39 Devastator: Then again, if you just want to screw everything down-range, it should work.
10:21:52 Devastator: A HMG is probably a better idea.
10:22:56 Devastator: I like mortars, but wouldn't you need to redesign them heavily to accomodate direct fire?
10:25:22 Devastator: ..gun modding isn't cool?
10:26:24 Devastator: They're also simple. Maybe it's just single shot and muzzle-loading. I'd drop the round down, level the gun, and then let some kinda modified hammer trigger the firing pin with a trigger.
10:28:35 Devastator: Maybe make it look like a giant musket and make the rounds rocket-powered to make use of the extra-long barrel.
10:29:00 Devastator: Recoilless rifles, although cool, will probably lead to her setting herself on fire.
10:31:12 Devastator: If I'm willing to risk that, she could probably carry one hell of a flamethrower.
10:49:29 syv: My K:D in the tribute game is up to 4:1 now.
10:49:50 syv: I really like the technique discovery that this game's mechanics encourage.
10:59:09 Devastator: What's the rate in the series?
11:01:53 syv: Though it's strongly implied that just *using* the mobility gear effectively is a big bottleneck for most people.
11:03:15 syv: Among the cadets, it looked like 5% were considered aces, pretty much purely on their mobility, and the most remarkable achievement of those cadet aces was Not Dying. Not all of them have achieved that so far.
11:05:06 Devastator: well, that's the way it goes.
11:05:26 Devastator: It's a bit sad if they can only get 5% of the people trained, though.
11:09:16 Devastator: That's worse than the rate of Iraqi pilots being trained on the Mirage fighter.
11:09:36 Devastator: They had a washout rate of 90%, and it's generally implied that the resulting pilots were still terrible.
11:10:01 syv: Then they didn't really have an ace rate of 10%, did they?
11:10:31 Devastator: No. I think they generated one ace for the entire Iran-Iraq war. Maybe not even one.
11:10:48 syv: After washouts, the AoT people seem to get a rate of 95% average people who CAN take titans, but need teamwork, and 5% who have the potential to slaughter multiple titans single handedly.
11:11:02 syv: And they don't seem to have a high washout rate.
11:11:09 Devastator: so it's pretty easy then.
11:12:44 syv: I think they probably also just have pretty low standards. Which kinda makes sense, in a squad you only need one soldier to make the killshot. If one guy's best is flying in a straight line, he can still work as a distraction to allow the skilled soldier to get behind the titan.
11:13:56 Devastator: That's a little different in air combat.
11:14:03 syv: Said squads also seem to take casualties as a matter of course.
11:14:13 Devastator: if you have one guy who can only fly in a line, that guy gets munched for no advantage.

11:15:06 Devastator: Unfortunately you shot down the "I can transform myself into an armed combat aircraft" wish.
11:15:31 syv: Could still wish for AoT-style ODM gear.
11:16:09 Devastator: Yeah.. but that's anyone with Mobility 3 and swords/sword totem.
11:16:46 syv: (Also, I think the low standards explain their 20% losses in a retreating action. >20% of people are too incompetent with their gear to stay airborne for any length of time, and the unlucky ones get eaten.)
11:17:09 syv: ODM gear allows much better flight, and that's for humans with Mobility 1.
11:18:54 Devastator: although if pure arial mobility was the goal, is that better than using Semblance to give yourself wings or something?
11:20:32 Devastator: Mob 2 and wings would probably be pretty quick and mobile.
11:21:08 syv: Only Creatives have semblance~
11:21:21 Devastator: We do have a creative.
11:21:31 Devastator: she just doesn't use her abilities, but that's the game, really.
11:21:49 syv: But yeah, Mina could totally just give herself bird wings right now, pick up Tooru, and have her shoot the clay people from the air without retaliation.
11:22:24 syv: If Egan had made that his action instead of charging, it'd have worked and prevented any injury besides Alida's headshot.
11:24:23 Devastator: You mind if I repeat that in thread?
11:25:17 syv: I really prefer not telling players how to play the game.
11:26:18 Devastator:
ER, despite wanting to play flying creatures in every single game he's in, did not decide to give himself bird wings.
11:28:12 Devastator: I might poke Twin about some possibilities following this turn, but I won't say anything now, and you can overrule
ER changing orders easily enough.
11:29:45 Devastator: I mean, the existing orders of charge over there and throw mosters off (Asha) and blow those bastards to hell are both fine orders.
11:30:06 Devastator: If Twin does decide to overrule
ER's orders, it won't be because I said anything.
11:30:51 Devastator: Mina's got skilled joy, so
ER's move isn't blatantly stupid, it's just non-optimal.
