00:00:31 Devastator: "Everything was pitable but nothing was disgusting."
00:21:38 ER: hm. being magic librarian should be fun.
00:23:38 Devastator: Scrolls, though. Easier to roll those with your wings rather than flip pages.
00:26:37 Piecewise_: So you guys gonna watch anime again tonight?
00:28:49 Devastator: I think we were going to take a break before Overlord 3.
00:28:53 Devastator: but if you have an idea, maybe that.
00:31:54 Piecewise_: Hmm
00:33:14 Piecewise_: Warau Salesman?
00:33:46 Piecewise_: Anime about a monkey paw style salesman
00:34:06 Piecewise_: offering to grant the dreams of people
00:34:39 Devastator: Sounds ok.
00:38:22 Devastator: Heh.
00:38:51 Devastator: just finished reading that roman boardgame AAR catchup. Three people drew cards starting seperate wars this turn, with another war already ongoing.
00:38:56 Devastator: The Gates of Janus are open.
00:42:12 Piecewise_: Alternatively
00:42:14 Piecewise_: Gunbuster
00:42:56 Devastator: Which one is better for individual episodes?
00:43:05 Devastator: I mean, which one is better for one-offs and has less continual plot?
00:44:00 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
00:44:12 syv: Popping in to respond to logs.
00:44:17 syv: We have MULTIPLE movies.
00:44:17 Devastator: Heya syv.
00:44:22 Devastator: I see Nakeen showed up.
00:44:30 syv: We don't need to start ANOTHER anime series.
00:45:09 syv: We could also continue with AoT, though I wouldn't mind if we never touched it again TBH.
00:45:17 syv: Heya dev.
00:45:18 Devastator: Yeah, same here.
00:45:22 Devastator: heya syv.
00:45:52 Piecewise_: Salesman is episodic entirely
00:45:57 Piecewise_: so better for a few episodes
00:46:15 Devastator: oh, ok.
00:46:17 Piecewise_: Kino's journey and Mushishi are also episodic
00:47:07 syv: Counterpoint: Movies are perfectly episodic, aren't anime, and are definitely good.
00:47:10 Devastator: Chuck from SF Debris is doing Kino's Journey, so I'm less interested in watching it.
00:47:12 Devastator: Heh.
00:47:20 Devastator: I don't mind if you want to watch a movie instead.
00:47:25 Piecewise_: Original kino
00:47:30 Piecewise_: not the new season which is less good
00:47:40 Devastator: I think he's covering the original.
00:47:45 Piecewise_: alright
00:47:48 Devastator: it's been running for a couple years.
00:47:57 Devastator: and there's no CGI.
00:48:04 Piecewise_: could be then
00:48:12 Piecewise_: So lets see what I have for movies
00:48:18 Piecewise_: Sword of the Stranger?
00:48:27 Devastator: What movies do we have lined up, syv?
00:48:46 Piecewise_: Redline?
00:49:23 syv: Memento and Evil Dead.
00:49:41 syv: Dev, have you ever seen Black Hawk Down?
00:49:49 Piecewise_: Warriors of the wind (the Naausica american dub that they handle like an episode of he-man)
00:49:50 Devastator: Yes.
00:50:03 Devastator: Ugh, I ended up watching Evil Dead with my good friends during the holidays.
00:50:03 syv: Would you be willing to watch it again if ER and MJ haven
00:50:07 Devastator: Maybe I'll just watch something else.
00:50:34 syv: Well, we have Memento. Though if you've seen it already it's not as good a choice to ny understanding.
00:50:56 Devastator: I haven't.. but I'm not in the mood for something thinky.
00:51:40 Piecewise_: Redline is pretty fun and no thinks
00:51:54 syv: Redline was stupid and irritating.
00:51:59 syv: Everyone except me would enjoy it.
00:52:10 Piecewise_: what about it was stupid?
00:52:29 Piecewise_: or are you just not accepting the premise in general
00:52:35 syv: It was the racing anime movie, right?
00:52:47 Piecewise_: it was a racing anime movie, yes
00:53:21 syv: Was it the one with the pink car that turned into a female-shaped mecha with breasts?
00:53:50 Devastator: Is there any racing anime that doesn't have the latter?
00:54:13 syv: There's the one with the psychic guy who crushes the other cars.
00:54:41 Piecewise_: Neo Tokyo
00:54:42 syv: Sword of the Stranger was decent, but too short. I'd pick it if the others haven't seen it.
00:54:56 Piecewise_: Sword of the stranger is a full movie length?
00:55:03 syv: Yes, and it was too short.
00:55:14 Piecewise_: its an hour and 40 minutes
00:55:22 syv: Sorry, it was good.
00:55:36 syv: Yes. It should have been three or four hours.
00:55:39 Devastator: Heh.
00:55:52 Piecewise_: but then you'd have to wait longer to get to the end fight
00:56:10 syv: That's not a problem if they put in some more middle fights.
00:56:15 Piecewise_: fair
00:56:28 syv: It was good beyond just the end fight, from what I recall.
00:57:01 syv: I mean, yes, the end fight was PHENOMENAL, but I remember feeling like they had a lot more story they could have and could have told.
00:57:09 syv: *could have and should have
00:57:18 Devastator: Hmm.
01:00:05 Piecewise_: How about A Farewell to weapons?
01:00:10 syv: No.
01:00:18 Piecewise_: do you even know what it is?
01:00:20 syv: I found a BHD torrent, I'll check it after it's done and send it to y'all if it's good.
01:00:42 syv: Something that's about farewells to weapons. I love weapons.
01:01:06 Piecewise_: Its about guys in futuristic power armor fighting rogue AI weapons platforms
01:01:13 syv: HMMM.
01:01:23 Devastator: So what ER should have been?
01:01:30 Piecewise_: hush you
01:01:49 syv: Meh, I'll try it. It's better than a random name that has no tropes I like.
01:01:53 Devastator: (I still hope you read A Beginner's Guide at some point. ;-p)
01:02:18 Piecewise_: lemme hack it out of short peace then and upload it
01:02:40 syv: Hey ER, you around?
01:03:56 ER has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
01:04:32 syv: Guess so.
01:04:38 Devastator: Guess not.
01:04:41 Devastator: Maybe.
01:05:18 syv: How about Full Metal Jacket, Dev? That one's almost required if ER hasn't, since he was working on a game called Full Metal Skirt.
01:05:33 Devastator: I have seen it, but it's been a good number of years.
01:05:45 Devastator: I'm not sure I can dl anything quickly tonight, though, it'll probably be five or six hours.
01:05:50 Devastator: I can do that if you link me a torrent.
01:05:59 syv: I think I last watched it about five months ago, but if ER hasn't...

01:13:14 Devastator: why not.
01:24:21 syv: Huh, Evil Dead 2 and FMJ were released the same year, apparently.

01:33:47 syv: FMJ
01:33:55 Devastator: Dammit, I started downloading BHD.
01:34:02 Devastator: oh well, it's going a bit quicker than expected.
01:34:49 syv: FMJ is 720p, so it's much smaller.
01:35:01 syv: I prefer BHD anyway.
01:35:56 Devastator: ok.
02:15:16 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:15:25 ER: Full Metal Dress, syv
02:15:42 ER: which is much better than Full Metal Skirt
02:16:02 syv: Ahhh, yeah. Sorry. Still.
02:16:13 syv: Have you seen FMJ?
02:16:29 ER: honestly might be more appropriate to reference Apocalypse Now, though. :P
02:16:40 ER: nope, just assume that I haven't seen any movies~
02:16:57 syv: Apocolypse now is also good, we could watch that.
02:17:02 ER: yes
02:17:07 syv: I would not mind at all if we swapped from anime to war movies.
02:17:12 ER: hehe
02:17:22 ER: w h y n o t b o t h ?
02:18:20 syv: Because there doesn't seem be BE good anime war movies.
02:18:29 ER: :(
02:19:03 syv: Literally, I suddenly just decided "Fuck it, Black Hawk Down", because I really want to see an anime with good, vaugely realistic military tactics, and yet it doesn't exist. Black Hawk Down does.
02:19:44 syv: Literally the only anime I've seen which seemed to have any semblance of real tactics is a bunch of teen girls with an airsoft club, and it's half cutesy slice of life bullshit.
02:19:49 ER: I'll feed it to torrent if you want
02:19:59 syv: Feed both plox?
02:20:36 ER: er, both?
02:20:47 syv: Yes?
02:21:09 ER: oh, I see it
02:22:37 ER: there's tons of anime out there, surely something is a decent war movie?
02:23:06 syv: Decent war movie isn't as hard. Realistic war movie, now thay doesn't seem to exist.
02:23:12 ER: probably just never made it to the west because of not enough cute girls~
02:23:13 syv: Seriously, I've researched this!
02:23:34 syv: I came up with fucking Jormungand, which doesn't even approach that!
02:24:01 ER: would you mind getting a torrent for Apocalypse Now?
02:24:17 syv: Okay.
02:25:01 syv: I kinda see it as a different kind of movie. It's not the same genre as the other two, not really. Same setting, but not genre.
02:25:57 syv: The packs don't seem to be as good either.
02:26:03 ER: part of why I think it fits better than full metal dress. :P
02:26:07 syv: The only YIFY is a fucking 480p...
02:26:11 ER: though I haven't seen shit, so what do I know
02:26:57 syv: It does fit better, if you're more taking PS as the inspiration, rather than anything tactical.
02:28:06 ER: As I said, the magic part itself isn't grimdark. It's just not enough to fully counteract the intrinsic shittiness of war.
02:28:27 ER: More from a civilian perspective than a military one
02:28:58 ER: Which probably means I could find a lesser known movie which fits even better, but I don't know shit
02:29:11 Devastator: oop.
02:29:46 ER: ...and when I say that the magic part isn't grimdark, I'm not including the supernatural enemies. :V
02:30:46 ER: But, the PCs are a true force for good in the world, regardless if they succeed or fail.
02:31:10 ER: ...Unless they use their powers for evil. Might have to plan for that, of course.
02:31:20 syv: Probably not.
02:32:15 Devastator: evil is easy.
02:33:17 syv: People don't tend to do it, though.
02:33:28 syv: They work with their peers.
02:33:41 syv: Acting counter to social behavior is alien.
02:33:43 ER: Depends what kind of players you got.
02:34:04 ER: with the right lot, evil is the social default.
02:34:23 syv: Well, yeah. If you got Devastator, Lenglon, Madman, and Derm...
02:34:44 Devastator: I don't play evil characters that often..
02:35:07 syv: You play noncooperative players often, and very much would with those people.
02:35:38 syv: Evil totally can be the social norm. Look at ER; we had plenty of psychos in that game. But it was largely still cooperative. Most teamkills were entirely accidental, or roughhousing.
02:36:09 Devastator: That's true, I do play non-cooperative characters a lot.
02:36:18 syv: Betraying your allies outright though, like Dev did? Well, Dev was the only person to do that, over what? Seventy players through the game's history?
02:36:18 ER: I played some Star Wars RPG with meat people. The source book clearly thought that you should be the good guys, but our group started our running... I think it was some business involving body parts? Anyway we found a sith holocron and only went downhill from there.
02:37:06 syv: There were a few more minor spats where two people hated each other, but nothing else on the level of "I want to help our enemies kill my allies".
02:37:28 Devastator: I'm not sure I would count his allies as allies.
02:37:51 ER: well, there is a kinda problem with trying to play as an enemy when the game itself puts you in the role of an ally.
02:38:42 ER: also, having to deal with multiple player factions is honestly just messy.
02:38:54 Devastator: Yeah.
02:39:17 Devastator: I mean, what did anyone ever do for him, really?
02:39:53 ER: absolutely nothing

02:40:20 syv: ^Apocalypse Now
02:40:44 Devastator: ok.
02:41:02 ER: magnetted
02:41:21 Devastator: ..That's kinda what I mean. It might be different if he was betraying his allies, but betraying people who have only managed to accidently kill you once isn't much of a betrayal.
02:41:22 syv: Clicking through to check the audio, I ended up in the scene with the stupid bottle rocket tracers.
02:41:25 ER: and FMJ finished downloading already
02:41:29 Devastator: Heh.
02:41:39 Devastator: syv, doomed to disappointment.
02:41:43 syv: I remember thinking those were supposed to be flaming arrows when I was a kid.
02:42:03 syv: Which made the scene much better.
02:43:23 Devastator: flaming arrows, also unrealistic.
02:44:28 syv: Yeah, too slow, plus flaming arrows would be very difficult to fire at such a high rate, without setting the local forest on fire.
02:45:05 ER: so, you want someone to toss bricks at you, which you hit with your bat, in order to intercept in mid air the enemy's projectiles.
02:45:13 Devastator: Yeah.
02:45:16 Devastator: CC4 is awesome.
02:45:22 Devastator: if I can parry bullets, I should be able to do that.
02:46:43 ER: oh yeah, so I played the demo of that game, Fear and Hunger.
02:46:44 syv: You absolutely can.
02:47:01 syv: But parrying bullets requires a roll which can be failed, even at CC IV.
02:48:02 Devastator: Oh yes.
02:48:07 Devastator: but so does most everything.
02:48:11 Devastator: Might as well try.
02:48:25 Devastator: I mean, just dodging takes the same Joy roll, right?
02:48:53 ER: I wonder how uncomfortable it is for most people to have a military tactics game with stats for children.
02:51:07 syv: Yes, dodging would also be Joy and isn't as good.
02:51:30 syv: OTOH, intercepting bolts is all-or-nothing, while dodging can get degrees of success.
02:51:50 syv: But one roll negating it for everyone's prolly still best.
02:52:11 Devastator: It'd be even better if I get an assist roll, but Nakeen is incapable of taking actions.
02:52:14 Devastator: ;-p
02:52:22 ER: how practical is point-defense manabolts as a strategy?
02:52:45 Devastator: This might only be workable because of CC reflexes.
02:52:46 syv: ...Tooru would have the best success chances pulling this, she could summon remote detonation talismans and throw them, which would be a very easy roll indeed. Makes me think of airbursting with the jackal, pre-nerf.
02:53:03 syv: Yeah, point defense with bullets needs prediction.
02:53:18 syv: There's some memories you should see eventually with that happening, actually.
02:53:30 syv: Unless that witch TPKs you, I guess.
02:53:32 ER: playing point defense with precog and a pistol would be badass
02:53:48 Devastator: Also, trying to dodge when Asha's stuck there hugging a not-moving Tooru isn't any good either.
02:54:01 Devastator: I mean, that's Asha saying 'Both of us refuse to try and dodge.'
02:55:15 Devastator: Phew, didn't actually say hugging, just stay near.
02:55:23 Devastator: I thought that was the orders.
02:55:45 Devastator: ok, Nak posted again.
02:55:49 Devastator: assist other action is on.
02:56:37 syv: Mm, yeah. I should probably try and finish the update before going home. Ugh.
02:56:44 syv: It was nice to not have an excuse to.
02:56:51 syv: *to have an excuse not to.
02:58:30 Devastator: Asha's saying Alida sucks, which is pretty reasonably given the failures she's had recently.
02:59:34 ER: She is expressing very reasonable doubt that you can actually accomplish this blatantly superhuman feat
02:59:39 Devastator: Yeah.
02:59:57 Devastator: And in her own thoughts, so I can't respond to them IC.
03:00:19 syv: Just means she'll be more impressive if she succeeds.
03:00:31 syv: And if she fails, fair chance Asha will be too dead to be disappointed.
03:00:33 syv: Win/win.
03:00:37 Devastator: Yeah. If it works I can tell her after.
03:00:45 ER: Remind me to always insult Alida in character and audibly, so that you complain about it IC~
03:02:23 Devastator: god the OPM music is good.

05:03:51 MJ: Franklly some of them aren't half bad, but it's still weird.
05:04:30 MJ: They also seem like they would take an annoying amount of work to ciut up a bunch of episodes for various shots and set them intime to the music.

05:56:01 ER: hello!
05:56:31 syv: Hi.
05:59:10 syv: How is Fear and Loathing, or whatever that game is called?
05:59:35 MJ: Is ER taking a drug fueled trip to Vegas?
05:59:43 ER: Well, I successfully sliced a monster's dick off.
05:59:54 ER: Then it cut both my arms off and killed me
06:00:00 syv: Yes, MJ. Yes he is.
06:00:20 syv: At least it lost the ability to rape you.
06:00:43 ER: wonderful game
06:00:45 MJ: Beside's it might bleed to death from that
06:00:54 MJ: Lotta blood vessels in there.
06:00:56 ER: idn't seem to give a shit
06:01:16 syv: Next time, lop off the other head.
06:01:34 ER: second turn I aimed for the head
06:01:36 ER: and missed
06:01:51 syv: Next time, hit, you scrub.
06:02:56 ER: anyway, second life I wandered around a bunch and avoided combat. Narrowly avoided getting caught by what appeared to be more of the dick monsters.
06:03:11 syv: That sounds like Second Life, yes.
06:03:29 MJ: ER are you playing your name sake?
06:03:40 ER: Wandered around, found notes and stuff. Found a girl in a cage. I tried to talk to her but no response. The cage was locked and I couldn't open it.
06:04:02 ER: Then I found a library and got some books
06:04:58 ER: one of them was a recipe book, so I made myself bacon and eggs. The other book was an anceint tome which I FLET A STRONG URGE TO READ so held off on that one
06:05:32 ER: Then I tried to leave but the game wouldn't let me, so I read the necronomicon.
06:06:05 ER: Made a coin flip and lost, which means that the necronomicon instantly kills me.
06:06:20 ER: so that's my expereince with the game so far
06:07:36 ER: I could stream it and show it off
06:08:26 ER: if I haven't scared you off~
06:08:41 syv: Trying to write PS at the moment, so no, sorry. Maybe tomorrow evening? I am curious.
06:08:47 ER: okay
06:21:04 Devastator has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:21:12 MJ: A dev approaches
06:21:19 Devastator: back.
06:21:26 ER: heyo
06:21:31 Devastator: I hope you didn't wait, I had to step away.
06:21:40 MJ: Hide the Lengelons and ER!~
06:22:32 Devastator notices the lack of piecewise.
06:26:33 Devastator: how was the movie?
06:26:57 MJ: Movie?
06:32:47 Devastator: wasn't syv having us download blackhawk down?
06:33:01 syv: Among other movies, yes.
06:54:01 ER: heh, this is awsome
06:54:21 ER: I saved the dark mage guy for last, he can do necromancy
06:55:47 ER: At some point one or more of my legs got torn off and I crawled out of a corpse pile. Then I came across I crazed prisoner, also crawling on the ground. So I talked to him, realized he's a zombie, concinved him he's not real to kill him, then raised his body as a servent.
06:55:54 ER: this is a good game
06:56:16 ER: also I'm bleeding and have nothing I can do about that, but ehhh
06:56:31 MJ: Can you like turn your clothes into bandages?
06:56:44 ER: probably not
06:58:14 Devastator: live it up while you still have enough blood to experience the happiness.
07:01:16 ER: yup, dying to blood loss because I can't find a frikkin bandage
07:05:15 Devastator: What are you playing, anyway?
07:05:18 ER: ran into some priests who enthusiastically told me about their religion while murdering me
07:05:24 ER: Fear and Hunger
07:06:05 ER: https://mirohaver.itch.io/fear-hunger
07:06:08 Devastator: Hmm.
07:07:59 MJ: This game seems neat ER
07:08:38 Devastator: JRPG the roguelike.
07:09:51 ER: I like it when a roguelike can provide me with unique lives full of suffering, and this game has done so for the past 4 lives.
07:10:13 ER: trying out each of the four characters, of course, so now I know what those are all like
07:12:37 Devastator: Heh.
07:12:46 Devastator: What are they?
07:13:08 ER: mercenary, knight, dark priest, oulander
07:14:07 ER: mercenary can do fighting and lockpicking, knight is good at fighting, priest can do some magic bullshit, oulander has a bow and can eat monsters
07:14:49 ER: bow can be used to shoot at enemies without engaging them in combat first, which is nice
07:19:11 MJ: oh come now, eating monsters just requires a certain amount of willingness to experiment :P
07:20:08 Devastator: of course.
07:20:13 ER: also, necromancy ghouls try to help you in combat but are totally fucking useless :P
07:20:17 syv sighs
07:20:26 Devastator: stuck?
07:20:51 ER: you can't control them, they just always attack, and you can't give them equipment, and their attack SUCKS
07:21:08 syv: Instead of writing, I get distracted reading strange Wikipedia articles. At first, they were relevant, but now I look up and see "Puppy Pregnancy Syndrome" and realize that I'm just bad at this.
07:21:37 Devastator: You can't write without a muse.
07:21:53 ER: I think putting on music helps me to actually focus more
07:21:59 syv: Clearly I need to higher Jak and Daxter to catch mine.
07:22:17 syv: It does for me too, but it's fiddly and I stopped it after getting distracted this time.
07:23:16 syv: Also, it's really silly how death by hanging was phased out as a capital punishment for being too inhumane, not because it sometimes failed to kill the victim, but because sometimes it decapitated them.
07:23:29 Devastator: Don't want to traumatize the witnesses.
07:23:32 syv: "Oh, no, we can't be having them be killed *too* well! That's inhumane!"
07:24:30 MJ: Occasionally it failed IRC.
07:26:12 syv: Yes, but at least in some places the motivation was decapitations, not strangulations.
07:26:44 ER: that's what guilotines are for!
07:27:01 Devastator: Clearly they should be blown from a gun.
07:27:33 MJ: Nah, elephants are the way to do it.~
07:28:04 ER: I guess it's inhumane because you end up with a less intact corpse for burial
07:28:22 syv: If I'm ever executed, I would like it to be via a GAU-8 headshot.
07:28:36 syv: Quick, plus in my last moments I get to admire a truly impressive weapon.
07:29:01 ER: wouldn't get to hear it fired, though ;P
07:29:39 MJ: Actually there was a thing about Corpses being damaged actually being a worse punishment.
07:30:33 syv: Yeah.
07:30:55 syv: It's still silly. Cremation is a thing, and that's kiiinda a bit more damaged, no?
07:31:04 ER: I don't care how I'm excuted but my body should be used for necromancy experiments afterwards~
07:31:31 MJ: Cremation used to be a much more taboo thing
07:31:53 Devastator: Burial also used to be cheaper.
07:32:02 syv: If I could donate my corpse to ballistics experiments I would... but I don't think the data gained would be all that useful. It'd be hard to get my body to the shooting range fast enough.
07:32:16 syv: And before that, cremation was even cheaper.
07:32:40 ER: having your corpse incinerated is *cool*
07:33:06 MJ: I dunno, I'd want by body donated to science.
07:33:15 ER: it's like, "fuck you, if I can't have my body NOBODY CAN!"
07:33:32 syv: Ballistics experiments aren't science?
07:33:47 MJ: Nah, like antamy course science.
07:34:17 ER: unfortunately they don't let you pick what kind of science I believe :P
07:34:32 MJ: Maybe have the corner wright some joke on like chest or something. Really freak out the medical school students
07:35:05 ER: corner wright
07:35:30 syv: Yeah, an architect who specializes in designing corners.
07:35:37 MJ: ...eh, spelling hard.
07:35:41 syv: Don't diss him, corners are serious business.
07:36:11 ER: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_(disambiguation)
07:36:26 ER: find a joke of your choosing using this resource
07:39:03 ER: think I'll get some sleep. Still need boldtext for Rakiit.
07:39:10 MJ: Ah damnit
07:39:18 MJ: New I was forgetting something
07:39:28 MJ: ...Man it's not my night for spellling
07:40:06 ER: I'll see about streaming some of Fear and Hunger tomorrow evening, so that's when if you want to see it.
07:40:28 ER: g'night
07:40:39 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
07:41:21 MJ: So.
07:41:34 Devastator: Heya MJ.
07:41:42 MJ: hiya dev
07:42:02 MJ: how was whatever it was you were doing?
07:42:43 Devastator: Was pretty fun.
07:42:51 Devastator: friend just stopped in by suprise.
07:42:58 MJ: Always nice
07:46:10 MJ: oh nice. Beast in black has a new album. Time for some new angry techno metal.
07:46:54 Devastator: gl headbangin'
07:48:37 MJ: Heh thanks, I'm actually planning on going to my first full on metal concert soonish. So that'll be cool. Genre's Stoner metal so it shouldn't get too crazy.
07:50:15 MJ: not that I or anyone I know would even touch the devils lettuce~
07:51:43 syv: ...
07:51:54 MJ: ?
07:51:54 syv: I have no clue why you'd feel the need to day that here.
07:52:10 syv: *say
07:52:39 MJ: Boredom and a lack of sleep causing oversharing?
07:53:30 Devastator: I'm from British Columbia.
07:53:39 Devastator: Why's weed a big deal again?
07:54:23 syv: Isn't that the opposite of oversharing? Or is it an odd way of saying "Yes I smoke weed" without literally saying it...?
07:54:51 MJ: Odd way of saying.
07:55:02 syv: Because it's a drug created and sold by the bad people, versus the drugs created and sold by corporations.
07:55:29 Devastator: ..Quite a lot of the people who make it up here grow it locally.
07:55:40 syv: It's also harmful and will destroy you. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be illegal.
07:56:02 syv: Yes, Dev. Those are evil devil-worshipping Canadians.
07:56:03 Devastator: I do know a couple of bad people who used to make it, indirectly, but I also know bad people who make their money in not-drugs.
07:56:29 syv: They were banished to the frozen wastelands for their weedy ways. That's the only reason people would live there, after all.
07:56:47 Devastator remembers when they caught some guys with a bunch of greenhouses because they were buying large quantities of tax-free gasoline and not producing much legal agriculture produce for it.
07:56:53 Devastator: That was a few years ago though.
07:57:12 MJ: It's actually one of the few things that grows well in Alabamas soil. It's like cotton I think.
07:57:50 Devastator: Doesn't Tobacco also grow well?
07:58:30 MJ: That's a bit farther north I think. More virginnia and the carolinas
07:58:38 Devastator: Ahh, ok.
07:58:53 Devastator: well, better cotton than hay.
07:59:14 MJ: heh, not that anyone grows cotton down here anymore. No profit it in it.
07:59:25 Devastator: So what do they grow?
08:00:01 Devastator: corn? soybeans? peanuts?
08:00:18 MJ: Peanuts soy and some corn I belive.
08:00:37 MJ: But nothing really grows great down here. Way to much clay in the soil.
08:00:48 Devastator: Heh.
08:00:49 syv: Do oranges grow in Alabama at all? I'd think you're a little too far north, but it is a very southern state.
08:00:57 Devastator: The soil where I live is basically all clay.
08:01:24 MJ: I belive that like South Alabama gets oranges, like Mobile and that.
08:01:39 syv: Figured.
08:02:09 Devastator: any peaches? Or is that just Georgia?
08:02:35 MJ: I dunno if they're grown comerically. but I belive they do exsist.
08:02:54 syv: Yet another argument for why that part of Alabama should be part of Florida.
08:02:58 Devastator: better than crabapples.
08:03:04 Devastator: Just annex the whole state already.
08:03:26 syv: We don't need their clay. But that tasty tasty shoreline...
08:03:45 Devastator: "All land below 70 feet."
08:03:46 MJ: Alabama is essentially just a worse Georgia.
08:04:05 syv: Geez, that's the worst thing I've heard you say about your state.
08:04:46 syv: "It's the year 2418. "Florida" is formally renamed to "United States' Coastline".
08:05:03 syv: Fuck, need to escape my "s.
08:05:08 syv: "It's the year 2418. \"Florida\" is formally renamed to "United States' Coastline".
08:05:25 syv: Wait.
08:05:28 MJ: I like where I live! But that's because it's a college town and thus only sorta kinda part of the rest of the state.
08:05:36 syv: "It's the year 2418. \"Florida\" is formally renamed to \"United States' Coastline\"."
08:06:04 syv: I like where I live. But that's because it's my swamp.
08:06:19 Devastator: Nothing wrong with your swamp.
08:06:38 syv: Damn straight.
08:06:50 Devastator: any snapping turtles?
08:07:31 syv: Yeah.
08:07:38 MJ: Neat
08:08:42 syv: https://i.redd.it/y2eb49sfz2g01.jpg
08:09:13 Devastator: hot damn.
08:09:22 syv: (I've no idea where that picture was taken, but everything about it seems entirely appropriate to Florida)
08:09:31 Devastator: for the record, I saw some more cougar tracks yesterday.
08:09:34 Devastator: apparently it's still around.
08:09:36 Devastator: yay.
08:09:45 MJ: I didn't know you got cougars that far north
08:09:58 Devastator: Yeah, you get them a lot further north than I'm at.
08:10:04 MJ: huh, cool
08:12:11 syv: MJ, you still haven't posted in Tachell.
08:12:17 MJ: ..damnit
08:14:32 Devastator: don't forget the tail emotes.
08:15:08 MJ: She's currentlly angry at being a called a customer by bert and ernie in hell. Which she's pretty sure is a slur
08:16:00 MJ: So I guess poofy tail time
08:16:06 Devastator: well, you know how angry cats react when crouched down in a pouncing position.
08:16:40 Devastator: get it twitching.
08:16:47 MJ: oh yeha
08:23:03 Devastator: How's the third player working out?
08:27:25 MJ: alright posted
08:27:56 MJ: It's probably not great
08:29:24 syv: It's acceptable.
08:29:43 MJ: I can live with acceptable
08:29:59 syv: The third player decided to insult religion in front of a fervently religious crusader, so he doesn't seem to have much self-preservation instinct.
08:30:10 syv: Aside from that, the game's too young to really say.
08:30:48 MJ: Eh, the other char doesn't know what religon is. so it's about even really
08:31:27 syv: I look forward to writing Alexander's attempts to proselytize Rakiit.
08:31:40 syv: Are you religious/spiritual, MJ?
08:32:46 MJ: Meh. It varies. My family's catholic But I'm a solid I dunno.
08:34:02 syv: Hmm. That's a little less entertaining, then. It'd be pretty amusing to have a religious character, written by an atheist, attempt to convert a atheist character, written by a theist.
08:35:08 MJ: I'm a firm agonist.~
08:35:56 syv: Uhh. "A substance which initiates a physiological response when combined with a receptor"?
08:36:27 syv: Well, I suppose a lot of people do enjoy the agonist MJ.
08:36:44 MJ: heh
08:36:51 syv: Devil drug it might be.
08:36:51 MJ: I meant agonstic
08:36:59 syv: Agnostic?
08:37:15 MJ: yes
08:37:36 syv: Yeah, that's fair. Prolly the most logical opinion all told.
08:37:37 MJ: What I can't spell would fill several books
08:37:55 MJ: All of them filled with the tears of english teachers
08:38:36 Devastator: Heh.
08:38:53 Devastator: I did once have a co-worker who was convinced D&D was the devil.
08:39:30 syv: Devils & Devastators.
08:39:45 MJ: I knew a girl in school who thought I was the devil because I was catholic. She also gave me a chick track.
08:39:48 MJ: Weird girl
08:40:01 syv: ...What?
08:40:05 syv: Okay...
08:40:39 MJ: Chick track like that crazy guy who made the crazy super religous comics
08:41:21 syv: Oh, I know what it is.
08:41:44 syv: The Catholic-means-you're-a-devil thing is what I was so surprised by.
08:41:47 MJ: Yeah no she and her twin sister were like the super religous version of the twins from the shining.
08:42:22 Devastator: Wasn't that a lot more common before the early 90s?
08:42:39 syv: Ahhh, if only Oglaf existed back then. Some Sithrak tracts would be perfect to wordlessly exchange with them.
08:42:43 MJ: I think so
08:42:45 Devastator: After the flip from 'catholics are the devil' to 'pro-choicers are the devil?'
08:43:50 MJ: Pretty sure Dev.
08:45:02 MJ: My families always has been pretty pro choice though.
08:45:52 syv: How unexpectedly humane for a family of medical professionals.
08:47:04 MJ: Yeah it's not the most surprising of things.
08:52:54 MJ: ooohh, there's a movie based off the DnD chick track
08:52:58 MJ: We should watch that
08:53:31 MJ: It's pretty short IIRC
08:54:38 MJ: yeah 40 min
08:55:59 MJ: syv dev? opinions?
08:56:23 Devastator shrugs.
08:56:26 Devastator: Is it any good?
08:56:45 MJ: Have you ever read the chick track?
08:57:05 Devastator: I don't know.
08:57:15 Devastator: I haven't read many of them, and what I remember was repetitive.
08:57:43 MJ: Weirdlly 1d4chan has the eaiset to read archive of it. https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Dark_Dungeons
08:58:15 syv: Literally everything Dev said applies to me.
08:59:09 MJ: It's pretty entertaining
09:04:33 MJ: anyways good night
09:04:35 MJ has left #einsteinianroulette
09:04:48 Devastator: g'night
09:10:07 syv: :(
09:11:27 syv: ...Meh, I work in twelve hours. Being awake for that is more important than forcing myself to work on a hobby. Seeya.
09:11:32 syv has quit [Quit: Definitely a psyv.]
09:13:21 Devastator: ok.
15:15:59 Piecewise has joined #einsteinianroulette
17:32:16 Devastator: heya PW.
17:50:09 Piecewise: hello
18:24:59 Devastator: Well, that's a good read.
18:25:26 Devastator: Oliver Sack's book An Anthropologist on Mars.
18:34:01 Devastator: “If I were blind, I would be the first person to know it.”
18:34:16 Devastator: Impeccable logic indeed.
18:44:32 Piecewise: https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/02/16/sources-brothers-released-bought-rope-used-in-jussie-smollett-attack/
18:44:47 Piecewise: Since you like stories of dumb legal stuff
18:44:59 Devastator: sounds good.
18:46:22 Piecewise: Is it weird that I feel like some people have made being oppressed part of their identity?
18:46:45 Devastator: Hardly seems strange to me.
18:46:48 Devastator: Sometimes that is the case.
18:48:36 Piecewise: I feel like making actual progress against racism and stuff is basically impossible because people will always be able to see racism somewhere if they want to
18:49:22 Piecewise: and since some people have made it a core part of their view of themselves that they are an oppressed minority, they'll never not be that regardless of the realities of the world
18:49:44 Devastator: Doesn't mean you shouldn't be compassionate and helpful.
18:49:53 Piecewise: of course not
18:49:58 Piecewise: and of course thats not everyone
18:50:18 Piecewise: I just see it occasionally and it is tiring
18:50:24 Devastator: But yeah, it happens.
18:50:49 Devastator: "My kids don't have to be taught to read. Now stop oppressing me by wanting them to do so!"
18:51:55 Piecewise: Oh nice
18:52:12 Piecewise: my teacher made a worksheet thing for us to download and set it to read only, no editing
18:52:13 Piecewise: nice
18:52:37 Devastator: welp.
18:52:48 Devastator: Time to break out the hex editor, then. ;-p
18:55:15 Piecewise: Nah, open office is nice enough that they just ask you "Hey, you wanna open an editable copy of this?"
18:55:33 Piecewise: and then they just copy the contents
18:56:00 Piecewise: Its not a big deal because of that, its just funny
18:56:26 Piecewise: shows real skill on the teacher's part
18:56:36 Piecewise: Ah good, farewell to weapons finished
18:59:39 Devastator: Heh, one of the patients is someone I've actually heard of.
19:00:07 Devastator: (A surgeon in Branford, British Columbia.)
19:01:39 Devastator: didn't know he had Tourettes. I've only heard the name.
19:04:54 Devastator: oh god, I'm wearing mostly the same clothes as the first patient he describes the surgeon seeing.
19:12:02 Piecewise: This is how you find out you were a patient
19:13:26 Devastator: No, I've never had the particular described injury.
19:13:51 Devastator: It's just that checked shirts and tight jeans are inordinately common dress.
19:20:15 Piecewise: maybe you just don't remember having that injury
19:20:15 Piecewise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJLhnts9-oQ
19:21:20 Devastator: It'd be hard in this case..
19:22:00 Devastator: Well, that doesn't make much sense.
19:22:46 Devastator: I wonder if that was generated via algorithm.
19:26:37 Piecewise: That rant?
19:26:45 Piecewise: No, it was generated by Francis E Dec
19:26:53 Piecewise: Insane American
19:27:25 Piecewise: http://www.bentoandstarchky.com/dec/MRFRCrant.jpg
19:27:36 Piecewise: He would print them out and send them to random people
19:29:15 Devastator: Ahh.
19:29:17 Devastator: rough.
19:30:45 Piecewise: He was top Kook
19:30:56 Piecewise: highest quality
19:31:51 Devastator: A hotly contested title, that.
19:33:11 Devastator: That would have been Leo had he not been lucky enough to die.
20:53:04 Devastator: http://youtu.be/7p0gC47PKGY
22:30:52 Piecewise: does this link work for downloading?
22:30:53 Piecewise: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nMz4giKyyeKF9JkAJwEX5Kvip4pjKKWz
23:07:34 Devastator: Yes.
23:37:10 Devastator: So Albedo is only there so Ainz can have a deputy leader?
23:37:23 Devastator: I've heard worse character motivations.
23:40:35 Piecewise: I mean...I dunno if I'd say thats the only reason
23:40:53 Devastator: other than bone/boner jokes?
23:40:55 Devastator: ;-p
23:41:43 Devastator: Well, we did see vamp adventurer drape herself over him, so maybe it's just that sorceror cha score working on compatable undead.
23:45:12 Devastator: So what's the next game tumbling around in your head?
23:52:34 Devastator: with divine fuckery coming to an end.
23:59:57 Piecewise: Well, sy did talk about that magical girl flesh horror nobledark game
