01:35:20 Devastator: how be ye,
Piecewise?
01:43:38 Piecewise: Played Daemon X Machina for a while today. Pretty ok. Wish it had a lock on feature because everything zooms around a lot and its on a console which is hard to aim on
01:44:29 Piecewise: Still, having fun with it
01:44:56 Piecewise: probably gonna play more games. Then tomorrow more posts and productivity and such
01:45:12 Devastator: was chatting with
syv today, anyway.
01:45:44 Devastator: Gotta thank you for all the productivity you put into here.
02:33:13 Devastator: oh, had a good run in Noita.
02:33:19 Devastator: died in the magical temple from an invisible shot.
02:36:23 Piecewise: did you get the updated version yet?
02:36:37 Devastator: don't think I'll bother.
02:37:13 Piecewise: too bad. missing out on some nice stuff
02:39:25 Devastator: there's enough stuff already.

04:20:30 ER: so long as Irony doesn't update, the number of actions in my boldtext shall expand.
04:22:54 Devastator: Isn't Irony on now?

04:50:04 syv: I have a *ton* of PMs from you two.
04:50:37 syv: Might try and move you along today, if I don't feel too terrible. Y'all are the priority ATM due to being chronologically behind.
04:51:06 syv: "Today" meaning "Tomorrow morning", of course
04:55:41 ER: oh yeah, inspired partly by the book How To, which I read recently.
04:56:17 ER:
syv, if you have to procrastinate by doing statistics again, I have a project.
04:56:48 syv: Not gonna do it now, sick, but if it's interesting I'll write it down.
04:57:06 ER: take the known ages and names of all MGs in PS, and use them to estimate the time period in which PS is set.
04:57:51 syv: Mm. Curious. But interesting.
04:58:25 syv: I doubt there's anywhere near enough data there, but might be fun.
04:59:28 ER: (there was a line in the book which listed a few names saying that if you knew people in your class with those names you were probably born around 2010, and two of them were Sophia and Isabella.)
05:00:19 Devastator: There were three Daves in my year.
05:00:50 syv: Yeah. Names go in and out of popularity. It's also affected heavily by area, and country of course.
05:14:43 syv: Hrm. The last two levels of Kazgame *still* aren't out?
05:18:29 ER: hmm. finding homestuck 2 genuinely enjoyable
05:31:42 syv: Hrm. Captcha is "runny nose". While I have a cold.
05:32:08 ER: the algorithm is fucking with us
05:42:20 Devastator: google is your friend.

06:10:01 syv: Hmm, which one of these data folders should I install into? I've got... Scorched Contract, no. Bleeder curse, no. "THIS DATA IS BROKEN", and "THIS DATA IS BROKEN - Copy". HMM.
06:17:12 Devastator: ..if draggy can lift a grate heavy enough to crack concrete upon falling, draggy is STRONG.
06:17:52 Devastator: maybe we should have ambushed the guard.
06:17:59 syv: He's a force-sensitive dragon.
06:18:01 Devastator: or maybe we should check out where the guard was seated.
06:18:12 Devastator: he might have some keycards.
06:18:18 Devastator: gonna change my orders.
06:19:11 Piecewise: playing sekiro boss rush
06:19:16 Piecewise: damn emma and isshin is tough
06:21:01 Piecewise: no, but demon and with like half the attack power I should have had at that point
06:21:34 Piecewise: emma and her counter into backstep is both her downfall and her strength
06:22:26 Piecewise: I beat them, I just kept making bad mistakes
06:22:28 syv: Ichimonji is really good in that fight. More than usual, I mean.
06:24:02 Piecewise: Isshin second stage got me a lot. His big fire attacks can murder you in one hit, which makes having 8 gourds basically useless
06:24:42 syv: Yeah, he's one of he reasons Ichimonji is so useful, it can stagger him out of all the slow charge attacks.
06:25:10 Piecewise: I just got good at avoiding and baiting them
06:25:20 Piecewise: Started figuring out his AI patterns.
06:26:16 Piecewise: found out in first stage that you can slash at his side step, block his two counter hits, which results in his ichimonji that is easy to punish
06:26:35 ER: it's kinda wierd having my l1 be a slower and heavier attack than my r1
06:27:07 ER: I usually at least have a 2hander block even if I don't have a shield.
06:27:51 ER: mercenary in DS3 starts with dual swords and a wooden shield, and what your l1 does varies WILDY depending on if you've got the shield or the second sword out
06:29:05 syv: Heh. I liked doing PvP in DaS with an offhand murakumo, which can block *and* do a heavy slash.
06:32:13 Piecewise: ds2 rapier r2 being a dedicated parry was pretty cool
06:33:34 syv: Yeah. DaS2 had the best movesets. :(
06:34:27 ER: DS1 if you hold the rapier left handed, the l2 is a parry.
06:34:43 ER: which then sucks, because you can't reposte with the same weapon
06:36:17 syv: No, it's still awesome, you can riposte with your right hand weapon. It's not *as* great, since the rapier has the best crit boost, but it's still good.
06:37:17 syv: Plus the 1hand stab is really fast and has good range, plus the rapier is light, and a pierce weapon. It's seriously one of the best offhand weapons, the biggest reason against using it offhand is because it's so good mainhand.
06:38:08 syv: Yeah, but then both your light attacks are identical. That's really not ideal, and you lack slashing attacks for dead angles.
06:38:38 syv: The estoc's strong attacks can kiiinda dead angle but they're really not great. Offhand rapier plus mainhand washing pole is way better.
06:51:04 ER: stupid sellsword twinblades can't kill the giant goo man before he transforms
06:52:08 ER: fuck that, dex weapons suck
06:56:08 syv: Dex weapons are literally the best.
06:56:38 ER: can't even kill gooman instantly
06:57:17 syv: You're just using the wrong ones.
06:57:20 ER: I'd do better viciousy drubbing people with a club!
06:57:38 syv: What, do strength weapons suck because a caestus doesn't oneshot bosses?
06:58:30 ER: also this is the start of the game, this is pretty much the only dex weapon I have short of going and buying more. :P
06:58:42 ER: and you haven't even played this game, what do you know?
07:01:58 syv: Heh, randomized starting items, thief starts with dagger/rapier, wearing Artorias head and wanderer torso.
07:02:06 syv: But Deprived gets the mimic head...
07:06:23 syv: Starts me off in dragonbutt lavaland...
07:12:35 syv: Very first fog gate leads into royal wood...
07:15:04 syv: I can riposte trees, and I chose a riposte build, so yeah.
07:17:57 syv: Trees drop sunlight medals...
07:18:16 ER: murder trees to praise the sun?
07:18:33 ER: guess you're getting lightning spears!
07:20:33 ER: they just had to hand it to ya
07:22:41 syv: Royal wood has a lot of connections right off of it. I came in by Chester, and I have FOUR different places to go.
07:28:41 syv: First boss is Demon Firesage, who dropped the soul of Priscilla, and a humanity.
07:33:59 syv: Second boss is asylum demon. Dark hand is really OP right now, deals five times the damage of the rapier.
07:44:57 syv: Dropped an estoc, which is really just a worse rapier...
07:51:33 syv: And then #4 is Sanctuary Guardian, what the hell.
07:51:44 syv: Literally the room after IG.
07:52:19 ER: hello fight hard boss thanks
07:53:50 syv: Also: I can't actually backtrack, because the fog gate that I entered Asylum through is the one you drop onto the demon from.
07:54:10 syv: There's an option to go back to the start at every bonfire, but that feels like cheating.
07:54:23 ER: how many punches did it take you to kill asylum?
07:54:42 syv: I don't know, didn't count them. Twenty?
07:55:04 Devastator: It might be there in case you get blocked.
07:55:57 Devastator: like it sounds you are.
07:56:12 syv: I'm not blocked, I just have to git gud
08:21:18 syv: Tailcut was a lost undead's large soul
