03:42:11 Devastator: Aww, the player there isn't that good.
03:42:59 Devastator: "balance between pacing and getting to all the tech in the game"
03:43:13 Devastator: tsk, not that great a player indeed.
03:44:26 Devastator: although for a LP, that's not an unreasonable goal to do at least a couple times.
03:44:54 Devastator: ..but only one small map on 17 playthroughs is not showing off fun in the snakepit. ;-p
04:05:07 Devastator: Does some pretty solid micro in splitting funding but not forgetting to max planets properly, but passed on hand lasers on a small map!
04:05:26 Devastator: Never do that. Cheapest way to keep a planet possible in the game.
04:06:42 Devastator: Choosing 6 damage missiles instead is just a weaker choice. It only matters if you build a base and spend on it and if you get attacked. Hand lasers only matter if you get attacked, but are free, and open the next tier quicker due to the lower research cost.
04:07:33 Devastator: and you're very likely to need stronger missiles than the 6 damage ones, so you'll need to reasearch another one later. Hand lasers are only obsoleted by higher-level ground combat weapons techs, of which there are both fewer and they are less important.
04:08:04 Devastator: Missiles are more powerful, but the advantage you get for hand lasers starts quicker, and lasts much longer.
04:26:17 Devastator: "There was a mechanic, apparently dropped late in development, that required more engines to power all of the devices on a ship. If you select the engines you'll also see a 'num of engines' listed, but you don't actually pay the cost or space for these since that aspect was removed."
04:26:49 Devastator: ..no, no it wasn't. It's ok to ignore it, all the effect of that is that armed ships pay less for better engines than unarmed ships, but unarmed ships are cheap.
04:36:21 Devastator: Heh. Looks like my predictions for the bad tech choices came through. Researching Hyper-Xs, (8 damage missiles) at the next tier..
04:36:52 Devastator: oh, he picked the useless AM-rockets instead.
04:41:12 Devastator: I suppose enough griping about something nobody else cares about.
04:42:34 Devastator: syvarris, how are the magical girls coming along?
04:48:17 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:48:27 syv has left #einsteinianroulette
05:06:02 Devastator: Yes
paris came up with an idea for RR I never would have thought of.
05:53:30 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:41:00 Devastator: lousy survivor night.
06:41:36 Devastator: I want dem memories! ;-p
06:42:42 ER: my sense of balance has been on vacation
07:18:56 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:27:16 syv: Yeah, was working on
Paris' thing, which would be the best next thing for Sophia. Then memories, then NPCs I guess, then timeskip.
07:27:35 syv:
Paris' thing is annoying because I screwed up something and I hate that.
07:28:27 ER: easy solution, just never make mistakes
07:30:08 syv: Oh, I wrote up that five-style dual wielding Sekiro-based system.
07:30:29 Devastator: so, by
syv standards, that means awesome.
07:30:51 syv: No, by
syv standards, that means "decent, with flaws".
07:31:04 syv: Actually I added a gun style as a semi-joke.
07:31:18 syv: It... approaches being balanced?
07:37:28 syv: Well it's a gun, so from the overpowered side.
07:38:18 syv: ...Though it's really less "gun" more "Why Sekiro's final bosses are bullshit"
07:54:50 syv: Actually, lightning is kinda funny, since it's absolutely a disadvantage for the boss, but pops up unexpectedly, so if you didn't realize it was an option it just instantly fucks you over.
07:55:22 syv: Once you understand it, it just melts the boss and the most effective strategy becomes "Sit there, block, wait for lightning, return it."

09:03:23 parisbre56: I dunno what it is, but if it's giving you trouble just retcon it or something, I don't mind
09:03:51 ER: or work on my thing instead
09:03:54 parisbre56: or just throw me in the game, really, don't fret over my silly RP

09:13:29 syv:
Paris,
Paris, you don't get my writing process. I write something, realize it's terrible, then angst over the fact that it's terrible until some other stress forces me to work on the next step of whatever it is, at which point I angst over how *that's* terrible.
09:14:15 syv: Writing, for me, is like being forced at gunpoint to stab myself.
09:14:38 ER: nah, more like being forced at knifepoint to shoot yourself
09:16:31 syv: Well, no, because the knife is less scary than the gun, and I'm holding both in either case.
09:17:25 syv: Also, the gun's constantly growing larger, until by stabbing myself its barrel is chopped off, and this metaphor is getting a bit lost.
09:20:30 ER: what the hell am I supposed to do with the giant fish in sekiro?
09:20:47 ER: got the baits from both pot nobles
09:20:57 syv: Have you bought lots of stuff from both scale vendors?
09:21:09 syv: Feed one or the other birs of bait to the fish.
09:21:17 syv: Like the bait you get from eeldogs.
09:21:54 syv: There's an area in Fountainhead Palace you haven't gone to, yet.
09:22:16 ER: bit off to the right? I don't know how to get there
09:22:27 syv: You can see it from the giant sakura branch, it's on the other side of the valley where Shichimen was.
09:22:47 syv: It's a lot easier to find than the second pot noble...
09:23:09 syv: Jump up onto the roof of the big building with all the dead nobles that the old woman died stabbing.
09:23:29 syv: Then jump onto a branch that's only grapplable from up there. Bam.
09:39:31 ER: so the other pot noble is dead now?
09:40:26 syv: Oh, there's something completely bullshit. To complete the fish dude's quest, you need to show him the great cwrp's whisker.
09:40:52 syv: But the great carp's corpse is in an entirely different place.
09:41:04 syv: I can saw where, if you'd like.
09:41:21 syv: The guaddian ape's watering hole.
09:43:20 ER: that's where they put every other random thing
09:43:55 syv: Not the place where you fight him the second time, the first arena.
09:46:19 ER: okay for real though how the fuck did it end up here
09:58:13 syv: Well, that's supposed to be where the Fountainhead waters pool, right?
09:59:01 syv: How it managed to float there is a mystery, considering the fountainhead lake's flow goes only two feet above the ground... well, life is mysterious.
09:59:16 syv: Sekiro laughs at you pitiful attempts to understand its logicl
11:02:39 syv: It has way too much cheese.
11:02:45 syv: Who are you having difficulty with?
