01:10:08 ER: cross between mario and mew from pokemon
01:11:02 Devastator: Nah, it's catsuit mario from 3d world.
01:11:10 Devastator: they call cat bowser meowser.
01:37:32 ER: how are we on this fine night
01:38:31 ER: I'm just waiting for PS content
01:39:00 ER: because all of my life's happiness is tied up in the fate of magical girls
03:10:04 Devastator: read today's lowering the bar.
03:11:21 Devastator: someone named Alida is in it.
03:11:28 Devastator: not that entertaining.
03:16:28 Devastator: so how are you feeling?
03:17:08 ER: like an object would feel like itself as an object
03:23:59 Devastator: that's not the one with the meteors, is it?
03:24:22 ER: regretably, I never owned one of those games
03:24:46 ER: despite owning multiple nintendo handhelds
03:26:40 ER: I probably should have spent more money on GBA first party games, rather than randomly picking whatever has the coolest cover from the pre-owned case
03:29:45 ER: that song does perfectly encapsulate "haha, time to pull out some FUCKERY"
03:32:49 Devastator: did any good ones turn up from the pre-owned ones?
03:33:14 ER: I can't remember what all I had to be honest
03:33:57 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:34:02 ER: the really really good games I had on gba were yoshi's island and metriod fusion, neither of which I got from the case
03:34:10 syv: Black Hole Rising was a great game
03:34:23 syv: Metroid Fusion too, but I didn't play *that* one while a kid.
03:34:53 syv: If
ER hasn't played Advance Wars, maybe we should have a three-way game of advance wars by web,
dev.
03:35:32 ER: and long ago a match or two on someone else's game
03:35:51 ER: doesn't have nice animations though? :(
03:35:59 syv: Advance Wars has a special, nostalgic place in my heart.
03:36:09 syv: I don't believe it does, which is indeed sad.
03:36:17 ER: kinda have to intuit what happened on the enemy's turn
03:37:16 syv: "Probably built more infantry"
03:37:19 Devastator: you're competent, which makes things hard.
03:37:32 syv: Well yeah, 'cause I won the one time we played.
03:37:50 ER: probably killed all my unit using artillery with +1 range >:|
03:37:53 Devastator: Didn't we play two games?
03:38:12 syv: Uhh. I think it was only one, but maybe not?
03:38:54 Devastator: wasn't close, I remember that.
03:43:16 ER: I should be given a bonus to resources because I'm incapable of using my brain~
03:43:51 Devastator: sounds like a plan.
03:49:32 syv: We doing anything tonight?
03:50:05 syv: Hmm, how do I ban you from the channel...?
03:50:14 ER: nah, well, I'm not going to sleep right now if that's what you're asking
03:51:00 syv: Well, watch torrented shows, or play a game?
ER,
Devastator?
03:52:01 ER: I'd be partial to an episode or two of jor
03:53:06 syv: ...I'd rather LDR, considering it's better, quicker, and each ep is self-contained.
03:53:33 syv: It has women what kill things~
03:54:58 syv: If
ER wants Jor, I'll settle for that.
03:55:14 syv: But I do think you'll like some of LDR more.
03:55:29 syv: Do you even have Jor,
Dev? You wanna finish something else?
03:55:46 syv: I.E. have us watch a thing while you do something else, I mean?
03:56:45 Devastator: There's another ep on 6 smeargle challenge.
03:56:56 Devastator: and there was the Civ IV Ai Survivor Championship Match today.
03:57:27 syv: It's a spiritual successor of Heavy Metal, but a lot better.
03:57:55 syv: Each episode is its own fully self-contained story made by a different animation studio, varying WIDELY in subject matter, but most all are good.
03:58:24 Devastator: Heavy Metal is
ER Movie Night for weed smokers.
03:58:47 Devastator: There is not much conventional merit.
04:00:59 syv: What ep of Jor did we leave off on?
04:01:18 ER: last one was the end of season 1
04:02:13 ER: meaning that we may be subject to a new opening
04:02:29 syv: Also called "Perfect Order" for som reason.
04:03:37 syv: I HAVE DEVOURED FIVE CONTINENTS
04:03:38 ER: rev up your complaining engines!
04:03:46 syv: I HAVE SLURPED THREE OCEANS DRY
04:03:56 syv: The second line is so much less badass.
04:05:56 syv: Mm. This seems pretty mediocre.
04:06:12 ER: but it talks about ending the world!
04:09:06 ER: this is butterfly lady right?
04:09:56 ER: everyone important in this is insane
04:10:03 syv: I increasingly want to hurt butterfly lady
04:10:10 syv: Her voice is very irritatig
04:12:03 syv: I hope it's not *really* just a GPS.
04:13:22 ER: I like how terrible people are.
04:13:50 syv: I dislike how rarely said terrible people get shot, though
04:14:01 syv: What's the point of a gun show if nobody dies?
04:14:36 ER: they're just all innocent and shit~
04:15:00 syv: Yes, innocent, that's why she's hitting on the child soldier
04:15:27 syv: Yes, truly the most innocent
04:19:47 syv: So I guess Jonah is the morality pet.
04:23:22 ER: well he gave up fairly quick
04:23:56 syv: I hope she just punches him and leaves.
04:24:05 ER: "tragic shit" is a good phrase
04:25:18 syv: Those are some weird names
04:26:02 syv: Jonah's in the way of the casings. :(
04:26:52 ER: good mix of violent and fabulous
04:26:59 syv: "Happy' and "What the hell is wrong with you?
04:30:09 ER: wonder how many people will die by the end of this season
04:30:15 ER: it's the last one after all~
04:30:47 ER: yeah, this open isn't as good
04:34:27 syv: So, you figure he's really gonna betray Koko?
04:37:00 ER: whoever sent *those* guys was incompetant, because they were terrible assassains.
04:38:15 syv: They were also cheap assassins
04:38:31 syv: And they did pretty well, considering.
04:39:59 syv: Maybe she's a werewolf, not a dragon
04:41:57 syv: That's ridiculously good on full auto
04:42:21 syv: Huh, thought that was an ACR
04:43:27 syv: Prolly have earplugs, but yeah.
04:51:11 ER: this ending reminds me of mario music
04:51:13 syv: Ordering lots of bullets is more likely to mean "training" than "murder"
04:51:32 ER: they were firing randomly into the air
04:54:07 ER: was a bit after the credits btw
04:55:01 ER: in the show that we just watched!
05:03:48 ER: of course hex saw this coming and has a counterplay~
05:06:41 ER: hex is, of course, unshootable
05:08:31 syv: There's an AC-130 above her...
05:08:51 syv: Then again that would be a political problem of a hilarious magnitude
05:10:30 syv: This is some insane luck on Koko's part
05:11:46 ER: they shot each other in the eye simutainiously but she didn't die, no fair
05:11:49 syv: But yeah, she has two CIA agents stalking her. And then they both shoot each other in the head.
05:12:18 syv: Only 5.56, and he hit the scope.
05:14:40 Devastator: it an actual power?
05:18:08 ER: "I pick up a fragment of those brand new wings"
05:18:27 syv: Despite the random lesbian gropings in remembrance of a fallen comrades, and panty-less schoolgirl mass shooters.
05:19:28 Devastator: so the mass shooter only shoots panty-less schoolgirls?
05:20:04 syv: No, it was a schoolgirl who went commando so that she was better at mass shooting.
05:20:27 Devastator: "I wish nudity granted me superpowers."
05:20:38 syv: I think Bookman might be losing himself a bit.
05:20:50 syv: Thaaat wish would get a veto.
05:21:15 Devastator: Just wondering the logic behind going commando to commit a mass shooting.
05:21:26 syv: I could explain it, if you'd like?
05:21:52 ER: plot-relevant lack of pants
05:21:56 syv: Think that's enough Jor for me tonight.
05:23:12 syv: Okay, so there was a crazy assassin dude who ran a hit squad called "Orchestra", and the core of his style was to walk into wherever the target was, fully loaded down with a bunch of hired help, and just shoot EVERYONE in the place, including his target.
05:24:33 syv: One time, he went into a... theater of some kind, IIRC, and one of the people in the place was a schoolgirl, whose family he killed, she rushed him and tried to punch him. While he was still shooting people. He found this hilarious, kidnapped her, brought her home with him. She went completely insane, fell in love with him, he trained her to be one of his hitman allies.
05:25:43 syv: One time during an "operstion", they had to swim or something, I forget precisely what it was, but they all got wet. The girl, who was a full-fledged member of the hit squad, found her soaked apnties uncomfortable, so just took them off for that operation after the water part. She then did unusually well, scoring a ton of extra kills.
05:26:22 syv: From then on, she decided that not wearing panties obviously made her better as mass shootings, so decided to always go without during hits. Because all their hits were mass shootings anyway.
05:27:06 syv: To be faie, it seemed to actually work for her, considering she was the last member to die, and dodged bullets a couple of times.
05:27:54 syv: But that was prooobably just because she was the only one of the hitmen with an actually developed backstory, so she needed to not die for long enough to explain all this.
05:28:19 syv: The majority of the show isn't quite so stupid, though it has its moments.
05:28:28 Devastator: "I wish my choice in panties affected my combat abilities."
05:28:41 ER: don't make such wishes,
dev
05:28:51 syv: Like telling the sniper, a good hundred meters away, to shoot a person as they leave a building, with a .308, to "make it look like a mugging".
05:29:10 Devastator: Sorry, just enjoy making ridiculous fake wishes to explain ridiculous anime situations.
05:30:40 Devastator: "I wish I could tailor my abilities by choosing clothing accessories" ;-p
05:31:11 syv: I'd probably veto that one on account of having approximately zero fashion sense.
05:31:39 syv: "You expect me to be able to come up with what buff you get from polka dot ribbons?"
05:31:54 ER: also the important part of her plot is at the end she decides to go murder the main character by herself. While wearing pants. she gets shot in the head by a sniper, obviously because of wearing pants.
05:32:20 Devastator: clearly, you would buy new panties and describe what you want it to have, and then make or fail the roll.
05:32:45 syv: Hmm? She could have just gone commando under the pants.
05:33:08 Devastator: Yes, but the audience wouldn't have been able to see that.
05:33:09 syv: didn't take off her pants to check
05:33:28 Devastator: has to be visibly commando, clearly.
05:33:36 syv: The audience could never see it, the show's at most shown nipples, like... three times?
05:33:44 ER: she says "yes I'm wearing them now"
05:34:02 syv: It was always other people seeing it and taking the time to say "Hey, that schoolgirl isn't wearing panties!"
05:34:15 syv: Oh. Huh. Well that was stupid.
05:34:59 syv: Also, usually they found out because she liked to dodge bullets by flipping and stuff while wearing a skirt. Which the camera was never positioned to see up, but characters were.
05:35:26 ER: wasn't there a camera shot of ass
05:35:56 syv: You'd know better than me, I'm only good at remembering tits.
05:36:32 syv: Because if so, that's honestly kinda sad.
05:37:06 ER: though the irc window only covers half the screen, so it only works like half the time
05:38:12 syv: If that's actually an issue for you, you should look at more tits. This show has been pretty damn minor with them.
05:38:39 Devastator: ...how did you watch overlord?
05:38:50 syv: Also, heh, you would find Heavy Metal very difficult.
05:39:06 syv: ...And a fair number of LDR's episodes.
05:39:45 Devastator: Heavy metal is very much littered with them.
05:40:29 syv: That might cause
ER to click on the little red x, out of panic.
05:41:44 syv: Uh. They're actually genitals, unlike breasts, and broadly more tabboo than breasts even in *our* uptight society?
05:44:24 syv: Hmm. Are you gay? I always figured you were straight, what with that being statistically likely, and the clear like of females, but you're kinda too reserved to give any real signs, and I'm terrible at telling.
05:45:03 ER: I'm probably more straight than I am gay, but honestly not much of either.
05:45:41 syv: Huh. Neat, I didn't expect you to actually answer that one.
05:45:58 ER: I do like females, but not enough to bother trying to court someone or anything
05:46:38 Devastator: It's not immutable.
05:46:41 syv: Understandable. Courting is kind've extremely stressful. You'll prolly meet someone someday who lights a fire, tho.
05:46:50 Devastator: a lot of it's up to what you do.
05:49:46 Devastator: new awful hospital.
05:49:48 Devastator: thoughts about sign?
05:50:09 syv: Now I'm curious, are you disinterested in personal romance, or is what interest there is just overshadowed by not wanting to bother?
05:50:31 syv: I recall you liking the romance in Tokyo Dark, but then that could also have been for other reasons too.
05:51:08 syv: ...Also, if you don't want to answer questions, that's fine, I just like understanding how other people think, and I was surprised by you seeming willing to talk about it.
05:51:09 ER: that game hardly had romance so much as an established relationship
05:52:10 ER: as for my interest in romance... uh I dunno, never tried it!
05:52:23 syv: Established relationship doesn't mean lacking romance; someone saving their fiance from... hell, or whatever that was, is a rather romantic plot.
05:52:35 syv: Have you ever read a decent romance novel?
05:52:57 ER: doesn't seem like an interesting topic
05:53:28 ER: at least compared to like, things with murder
05:53:30 syv mentally sorts through which VNs to beg ER to try
05:54:00 syv: I know precisely which one, but then I know you won't actually try one regardless of what I ask or recommend. :(
05:54:38 ER: mostly because it didn't go well last time~
05:55:01 syv: That one was an entirely different genre and is massive massively different in just about every way
05:55:15 syv: Like, god, no, the one I have in mind is basically the opposite
05:55:35 ER: well then send me a download or whatever
05:56:05 syv: Even if it doesn't have murder?
05:56:24 syv: I will if you read it, or even try to read it and get a decent distance in
05:58:18 Devastator: Thank you for going through Name of the Wind, btw.
06:00:12 syv: Now to wait a couple years for me to read Wise Man's Fear.
06:00:36 syv:
ER, did you read NotW by any chance?
06:01:18 Devastator: that book I keep pushing on people.
06:01:25 syv: Name of the Wind, book one in the Kingkiller... Chronicle? Cycle? It's good, but very long.
06:01:45 Devastator: Also a violation of the rule that any book that uses that term sucks.
06:01:48 syv: Longer than the VN I sent you, easy. But, frankly, better. Though I like the VN more myself.
06:02:30 syv: The VN is also a complete story that's been fully written, unlike the KKC, which has two lolhueg books out, and a third that's yet to be published.
06:03:00 Devastator: re-reading it now, actually.
06:05:07 syv: I wonder if book 3 will have to be split into multiple parts in English.
06:05:33 syv: That'll be hilarious if so, especially when the translations come out, and it's split into like twelve Japanese novels.
06:06:54 Devastator: All indications are that it's going to be a bit shorter than #2.
06:08:32 syv: How long did #2 take to write?
06:08:58 Devastator: it was out when I found the series, let me check.
06:09:34 Devastator: they came out four years apart.
06:09:37 Devastator: #2 came out in 2011.
06:09:53 syv: So #3 has taken twice as long, so far.
06:10:06 syv: Though with Rothfuss, I'm not sure what that means.
06:10:41 syv: I doubt he's the type of author that takes years just to *write* the book, I want to say I'd expect extra time to be dedicated to good editing.
06:11:00 syv: Though a decade long project is... not a good sign for its coherency.
06:11:03 Devastator: yeah, he's been editing it since early last year.
06:11:08 Devastator: It's pretty coherant.
06:11:18 Devastator: I mean, this guy can do it.
06:11:23 Devastator: he kinda can write a bit.
06:12:18 syv: Oh, he can write awesome. But, a project taking most of a decade is always a bad sign, IMO.
06:13:04 Devastator: I do think he's mostly done. There's been a few pictures of the manuscrips, and some of the rewrites have been rumored to be made because beta readers have spotted things.
06:15:56 Devastator: I think some of it is just that he has a small child at the moment.
06:17:34 Devastator: Oh, someone also sent him a life-sized cardboard stand of Cinder.
06:17:41 syv: I read a bit on his blog, one of the... last few (date?) posts was about his father, which is also very understandable.
06:17:48 syv: Cinder? Was that white guy?
06:17:53 Devastator: Any predictions for book two?
06:18:16 Devastator: "Your parents have been singing entirely the wrong sort of songs."
06:18:56 syv: Maybe not run it right this moment, we could still watch something else, or play a game? If you're not too tired?
06:19:23 Devastator: could stream race for space for you.
06:19:31 Devastator: I'll let you guys direct the program blindly.
06:20:02 syv: That does sound tempting, but I have some desire to cooperatively kill things with friends.
06:20:57 Devastator: that sounds like letting you guys run a space program.
06:21:00 ER: but all three are compatable if I run it this moment. then I'll be playing a game, and you'll have something to watch!
06:22:33 syv: I would rather a space race stream.
06:22:56 ER: well, could watch something
06:22:56 Devastator: I'm not up for playing anything intense.
06:23:19 syv: At risk of nagging, LDR???
06:23:35 syv: First episode is phenomenal, and pretty short, like all the episodes.
06:24:09 ER: I'll tell you if there's an unacceptable volume of nipples~
06:24:36 syv: There's some later, please just bear with them and don't block the screen, you'll be happy if you don't block the screen.
06:24:47 Devastator: rearranging my windows.
06:25:07 ER: I'll be happy if I do block the screen as well!
06:25:25 syv: More happy, I mean. Come on, trust me?
06:26:39 Devastator: they pulled the truck up the wrong way.
06:26:57 syv: They aren't very competent.
06:27:16 Devastator: what was that show?
06:27:51 Devastator: Is this the code geass opening?
06:29:01 Devastator: well, this isn't quite that way, but beastie in a box granting evil superpowers is basically an element there.
06:31:37 Devastator: hey, it's grown up battlemobs.
06:31:44 Devastator: also a ridiculous body plan there.
06:33:33 Devastator: the obligatory 'this is how I win move' being brought out after a minute.
06:33:40 Devastator: Just like real wrestling!
06:34:22 Devastator: so.. why didn't you have those to start with?
06:35:00 Devastator: And there's the snek bit.
06:35:18 Devastator: reminds me of the sword in pacific rim that didn't show up until after five or six fights.
06:35:39 syv: At least *that* was lampshaded.
06:35:49 Devastator: killing the evil promoter?
06:35:58 syv: But yeah, this is about the same level of indulgent stupidity as Pacific Rim.
06:36:20 Devastator: Something like this would be fun with a more full treatment.
06:36:34 syv: I'd love to see
Piecewise systemize this
06:38:10 syv: Quiet. I wouldn't recommend porn to you.
06:38:24 Devastator: "It's what I put on for the show, duh.."
06:39:21 Devastator: Well this was unnecessary.
06:39:36 syv: How was that not obviously coming?
06:39:51 Devastator: There's a bunch of ways you could take that scene.
06:40:52 ER: still this that was the love part
06:40:57 syv: Does not qualify as "love" IMO
06:41:05 Devastator: Yeah, I think that was a bit unnecessary twisty. Twist away from the predicted ending to twist back to the predicted ending.
06:41:18 syv: A mistake many men make tho
06:41:41 syv: Had a great monster fight, too.
06:41:44 Devastator: Needs a more complete adaptation, though.
06:41:59 Devastator: more than a short or two.
06:42:16 syv: Just one short, but yes. I bet it would be too expensive to keep at that quality.
06:42:30 ER: I wouldn't like it as something longer
06:42:40 Devastator: Maybe not with that ending.
06:42:50 Devastator: I think i could go for 'I'm a performer, idiot'
06:42:52 Devastator: that'd be a fun character.
06:43:22 syv: Oh, if they made an adaption she'd have to be the monster. No way the writers would drop that, you could feel them being proud of it.
06:43:43 syv: Another one... what genre you want? #2 is just straight comedy, but is pretty good.
06:43:49 ER: I thought she lived in the system
06:44:09 Devastator: If she's in the monster, she can't be fighting for her life, because they could move her back out of it.
06:44:31 syv: She said she was "fighting for her life", implying monster death is her death.
06:44:34 Devastator: Then you're left with 'thrill seeker' which is a more boring character than 'professional entertainer.'
06:44:41 syv: Also, her edge is clearly latency. ;P
06:44:42 Devastator: Pfft, that makes sense under
ER logic.
06:45:03 Devastator: but it'd be a premise about as realistic as everyone missing Mellowlink.
06:45:16 ER: I could see "not wanting to die" being a legit edge there :P
06:45:26 Devastator: of course, Mellowlink has an excuse for doing things that way.
06:45:44 ER: if you're not going to literally die if you lose, you might break the connection early to save you the pain
06:45:47 Devastator: Because of what would happen if he did get shot.
06:45:51 syv: Eh. Fear isn't a super helpful thing in direct inescapable combat.
06:46:19 syv: Anyway, yeah, if another one, what genre? There's no chronology to these, and plenty are poor.
06:46:34 syv: Humor is #2, and it's okay.
ER would like bits of #5.
06:48:10 Devastator: War never changes..
06:48:44 Devastator: Through the blastwave with robots.
06:49:26 Devastator: Through the blastwave is great.
06:53:01 Devastator: uncanney valley cat there.
06:55:16 ER: why's it take him that long to look something up
06:55:35 syv: It's a dead city, bad ping.
06:55:58 Devastator: Through the blastwave is better.
06:56:20 syv: Doesn't have cats or accurately modeled firearms.
06:56:36 Devastator: Yes, but it features guys pushing tanks onto innocents.
06:57:43 Devastator: okay, now that's a twist ending.
06:58:06 Devastator: Heh, Scalzi wrote it.
06:58:07 syv: It is, it's just a good one.
06:58:12 Devastator: ever read Redshirts?
06:58:22 Devastator: Aww, that's a good read.
06:58:25 ER: at least this one didn't have any stinky humans
06:58:34 Devastator: bones don't smell, after all.
06:59:06 syv: #3 is weird, in a
piecewise way, and has very stinky humans. #4 is pretty meh. #5 is decent.
06:59:09 ER: well, I've got nothing better to do than watch these all night, what's next?~
06:59:39 syv: ...#5 then, sucker of souls.
07:00:59 Devastator: Will souls be in here?
07:01:29 Devastator: Dr. Science and Mr. Flynn.
07:01:30 syv: Souls are about as present as sucking
07:02:27 Devastator: Dr. Science, Mr. Flynn, and Simon.
07:02:38 syv: Yes, and they're better than the last cat, being simpler
07:03:56 Devastator: Yes, very like skyrim enemies.
07:04:04 Devastator: Oh my god, they bit simon!
07:04:47 Devastator: I think we have reached about an 8.2 on the weird shit o meter.
07:05:06 syv: Already? Man, this ain't that bad
07:05:07 Devastator: also seems like a lot of buff for just one kill.
07:06:06 Devastator: that's a small magazine.
07:06:06 syv: Apparently it's a glock modified to fire 5.7.:P
07:07:07 Devastator: okay, cat weapon is good.
07:07:46 Devastator: okay, where's the twist.
07:08:46 Devastator: what were you expecting to fight?
07:09:04 syv: Why *wouldn't* you bring P90s?
07:09:31 syv: They only brought 200 rounds, anyway, probably didn't expect to shoot a lot.
07:09:53 Devastator: I'm still wondering what they were planning to fight.
07:11:26 syv: Demolition expert at a dead sprint~
07:11:53 Devastator: smoth move there Dr Science.
07:12:13 Devastator: I'm beginning to suspect you aren't a real doctor of vampirology.
07:12:13 syv: Notably, they were all post-buff.
07:12:34 Devastator: I suppose they were unnecessary too.
07:13:41 syv: Yogurt is next, and is the shortest, I think.
07:13:51 Devastator: Watched that already.
07:14:18 Devastator: These all seem pretty good, but none of them seem great.
07:14:54 Devastator: That first one needs more time.
07:14:55 syv: I like them, but I like indulgent violence. First ep had an awesome fight scene, and that's good enough for me.
07:15:13 Devastator: I prefer my indulgent violence in 2d.
07:15:51 Devastator: some of the jokes fell a bit flat.
07:16:23 ER: let's watch the worst one to get it out of the way~
07:16:33 Devastator: I think that's the last one I want to watch, too.
07:17:03 syv: You can watch it if you like, I won't.
07:17:21 syv: I found it low key unpleasant.
07:17:45 syv: A few others are annoying or just too boring, but aren't quite unpleasant.
07:17:45 Devastator: Saw it already. It's not bad.
07:25:31 Devastator: nah, done with those.
07:25:39 syv: 7 & 8 are okay, 7 has a high amount of sex though. 9 is ehh, 10 is facepalm, 11 is a little less facepalm, 12 is artsy, 13 is generic but okay, 14 is super artsy, 15 will piss off
Dev, 16 is ehhh, but okay, 17 is bad, and 18 is good.
07:26:23 Devastator: 15 will piss off
dev?
07:26:44 syv: Yes. Okay, maybe it'll just moderately annoy you, but that sounds like a sadly minor reaction.
07:27:33 ER: what do you think I should watch, then?
07:32:03 syv: Well if you've got any games, I'd be happy to play. Or you could read that VN. Or do something else. I don't feel like watching mor Jor now, and not really LDR either.
07:32:42 syv: Oh, if you do read it, don't mute it. I convinced
MJ to try it, and he fucking muted it and played death metal while reading.
07:33:17 Devastator: metalhead going to metal.
07:33:45 ER: aw, I can't just play it with In Circles at maximum volume to distract me from the pleasantness?
07:34:05 Devastator: I don't see why anyone would do a VN without musical accompanyment, except for me.
07:34:32 syv: I mean you can, and it'd be vastly more appropriate than death metal, but honestly I think musical accompaniment is one of the largest strengths of the platform.
07:34:51 syv: Which, admittedly, is a really weird view that I've never seen anyone else espouse, somehow.
07:35:05 ER: but I already know that the music won't go fucky on me so why bother?~
07:37:24 ER: lacks both murder and fuckery, the other bits better be good to make up for that
07:37:49 ER: well, I'm sure there's fucking but who really cares
07:38:18 syv begins rethinking his choices
07:38:41 syv: Eh, you're prolly right, longshot that you'll like it. But oh well, I'll be happy if you do.
07:39:27 ER: It's unlikely to make me reach for the red x, at least
07:40:20 syv: I once had a nightmare that I ended by clicking on the red x.
07:40:42 ER: I've had nightmares where the red x didn't work.
07:41:35 ER: specifically like "oh shit this flash game is haunted and won't let me close it"
07:42:12 syv: Ahh. I've always found those games a bit silly.
07:42:28 ER: what games? this is a dream
07:43:08 ER: it's not based on something I actually interacted with, it's something that my brain made up
07:43:09 syv: Those flash games that pretend to be haunted or whatever, breaking the fourth wall.
07:44:39 ER: ...I don't remember if it was actually supposed to be haunted or just a scary game
07:45:11 ER: you know, a normal spooky game but for some reason my computer refuses to tab away. horrifying.
07:45:50 ER: there was like, a castle. height of scares, there.
07:48:49 ER: um, I don't think that my unconsious mind cares about lighting. Things don't tend to ever be *dark* in my dreams
07:49:13 syv: That's good. Completely lightless dreams are terrible.
07:49:24 ER: was a castle with a drawbridge that i'd approach from outside
07:49:59 ER: was a 3d browser game with photorealistic graphics
07:50:21 ER: that's about all I remember
07:52:51 ER: that all the conversation we're going to wring out of this memory fragment?
07:53:42 syv: Sorry,
Dev sent me a link to a system.
08:07:16 syv: It's far simpler than the gun system...
08:08:55 syv: PS: "I know nothing about this genre beyond it being a storybased style, so I'm just gonna make the system the best storybased system, a simple roll chart."
08:09:47 syv: Guns: "I know way too much about this genre including how oversimplified literally everything that simulates it is, so I'm gonna make the system the worst forum game system, an overcomplex monster."
08:10:19 syv: Oh. No, most games players are just idiots, not monsters.
08:10:40 syv: The first design doc for it, which I still reference, is literally titled "
Aigre is incompetent.txt"
08:10:49 ER: oh yeah, haven't you complained of a lack of
aigre games?
08:11:05 syv: Haven't been watching him though
08:11:18 syv: I figure he's been running something and just hasn't PM'd me like usual.
08:11:19 ER: pretty sure he does things on a different forum
08:12:00 syv: Suddenly I really want to see this
08:12:10 syv:
Aigre, making an ERP system???
08:12:48 ER: I might have just intuited that from the name of the place, questional questing
08:13:32 syv: Found it, this looks terrible
08:14:01 syv: But in standard "these people are idiots with bad taste", not "dicknipples on the front page"
08:15:23 syv: "The Epic of Kriemhild Gretchen [DEAD]"
08:15:49 ER: but have you found
aigre yet?
08:15:50 Devastator: I don't like losing people.
08:18:39 syv: Looking over that thread, it has nothing to do with PM3, and is rather about space battles. Most of the posts are about the guy's system, which is overcomplex and has Aigre numbers, but far far better organization and seemingly random coloring, which I don't recall
Aigre ever doing.
08:19:15 syv: Do you recall his other names?
08:19:22 Devastator: someone just name a character?
08:19:23 syv: I see no
Aigre on any of these threads.
08:19:33 Devastator: ..look for someone posting 9/11 conspiracy theories.
08:20:26 syv: The top thread in General is "Would you bang the avatar above you"
08:20:44 syv: #6 is "Kill Six Billion Demons"
08:24:34 syv: It's a rather small and slow forum, with nothing to really make it notable to me. Has lots of anime fans with bad taste, I can recognize virtually nobody. None of them seem to clearly be
Aigre.
08:25:03 ER:
aigre said it's "lots of fun"
08:25:16 syv:
Aigre is an idiot, and also has bad taste.
08:26:50 syv: They seem to be friendly enough, and the one system I actually looked at was very Aigre-ish, while probably not being
Aigre, so he fits in I guess.
08:27:19 syv: It would be rude to mass-join their forum games as incarnations of Trump, and I'd probably get banned anyway.
08:27:38 syv: They'd think I was just some /pol/ channer.
08:33:55 syv: They would be very far off.
08:56:17 ER: you two have anything to demand of me?
14:43:47 er has joined #einsteinianroulette

23:32:27 MidJag: I've got a test tommorow, so I'll be busy tonight anyway
23:32:46 MidJag: Oh, but I got my first win in stone soup on the plane ride home.
23:41:40 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
23:55:02 MidJag: I keep hitting the enter by accdient.
23:57:57 ER: apparently making a wish cleans off any clothes that your're wearing for free.
23:58:36 ER: by uh, assimilating them into your true form and then healing them.
23:59:01 MidJag: heh, the old werewolf dodge~
