01:28:15 Devastator: I see the autocannon won.
01:29:47 Devastator: Heard you went to.. Reno, was it?
01:29:52 Devastator: did you shoot a man just to see him die?
01:30:14 Piecewise: I think we had this conversation when I got back
01:31:14 Devastator: don't remember an answer, though.
01:31:30 Piecewise: I think the answer should be self evident~
01:31:33 Devastator: Well, going to do cabal orders to go visit the towns to the east.
01:31:36 Devastator: No, not really. ;-p
01:31:50 Devastator: I mean, we live in a world where Blagovitch got his sentence commuted.
01:32:34 Piecewise: Well, I'll say I was not convicted or accused of any crimes yet
01:33:40 Devastator: see if they got burnt down or something.
01:36:11 Devastator: I'll try to wrap it up in maybe seven in-game days.
01:36:40 Piecewise: visiting them was always on my agenda, eventually
01:37:40 Devastator: well, only going to do one day visits each.
01:37:51 Devastator: then get back, do three days of disassembly and word getting, and get out.
01:39:08 Devastator: hopefully Ekrov can find the door and figure out some way to stabilize the pile.
01:46:10 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:50:47 Devastator: I'll update Sh sometime.
01:51:01 Devastator: also, looks like we made it in Cabal.
01:51:06 Devastator: ..going to try and finish things up soon.
02:12:11 Elastic_Ridicule has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:12:25 Elastic_Ridicule is now known as ER
02:13:33 Piecewise: I'm sure this is when
ER starts looking around nervously
02:14:15 Devastator: Just get the crystal out and clear out of here.
02:14:28 Devastator: maybe go seal up the mana pile with a bunch of steel walls.
02:15:23 Devastator: but probably going to head back like in a week instead of the extra ten days.
02:15:32 Devastator: or like seventeen days, sorry.
02:17:32 Elastic_Ridicule has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:19:40 ER has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
02:19:40 Elastic_Ridicule is now known as ER
03:04:07 Devastator: had to change my hot water heater thermocouple.
03:04:17 Devastator: took way too long, was pretty easy.
03:53:48 Devastator: yeah, big long orders.
03:54:09 Devastator: teeechnically at 1 day/order set, I should include the stuff to do at that new town, but I suppose I'll just split it up this way so
PW can describe the town first.
03:57:48 Devastator: probably make
Piecewise's head explode with words.
03:57:53 Devastator: I should thank Naturgirl for that.
03:57:58 Devastator: making him appreciate long orders more.
03:58:58 Piecewise: It will be fine. If it looks like too much I'll just ignore Cabal for a day and do something else~
04:03:20 Devastator: yeah, a manufacturing area might have some fun words.
04:03:27 Devastator: 'absorb' on a purifier, for instance.
04:03:40 Devastator: 'contain' seems likely somewhere.
04:04:46 Devastator: but we'll see when I get back. Probably spend a day disassembling stuff, a day getting loot, and a day spirit-wrangling. Maybe get one of those fighters out too.
04:08:23 Devastator: maybe do some more security spells for that room. Strengthen Steel Wall and Steel Strengthen should secure it a little.
04:56:37 ER: this comic has good character designs sometimes
04:58:14 Piecewise: K6BD always had interesting art
04:58:22 Devastator: well, prediction came in.
04:58:28 Devastator: shame the plot's so lame.
05:44:27 Devastator: something was happening.
05:45:01 Devastator: well, we got movie night in a couple weeks.
05:45:03 ER: kinda pissed that I managed to lose a lot of save progress in terranigma :P
05:45:14 Devastator: Did you catch back up?
05:45:23 ER: a couple weeks feels like an eternity now
05:45:44 ER: nope, I've been sleeping, eating, and contemplating updating Fork
05:46:35 Devastator: Right, gotta do the week for Sh.
05:47:37 ER: at least B should be fairly easy to write first, not being um, dependant on the other two.
05:47:52 ER: you know, like how the other two are dependant on B.
05:48:19 Devastator: A is dependant on B?
05:53:10 ER: and that's B done! well that was easy!~
06:03:24 Devastator: well, good, mental domination is the first step towards being top god.
06:03:48 ER: actually, B was jumping in a hole
06:03:58 ER: pretty much just because I wanted it to be that way
06:05:18 Devastator: Zbridges with an understandable statemen about poor impulse control. Although, to be fair, poor impulse control can get you stuff that you never ever would have thought existed.
06:10:48 Devastator: being a catgirl would be easier than being a dragon, but that's only a relative statment.
06:11:30 ER: I'm not sure which one of those would have an easier life, really
06:13:19 Devastator: Depends on what kind of catgirl, really.
06:13:47 Devastator: but if you're going to be a freak of nature, prestiege is going to be even more important than it normally is.
06:13:57 ER: yeah, a fleshhorror with catgirl preference probably has a hard life ;P
06:15:41 Devastator: if catgirl is 95% invisible but you have like tiny claws and are fast, it's prolly no problem.
06:16:34 Devastator: but I got a table for estimating stuff like that, mostly because if you fuck up with body modification magic, you're either going to be dead dead dead or really fucked up.
06:19:28 Devastator: this isn't whisperling's game.
06:19:39 ER: I have to think about how I even want to approach describing your action in fork
06:26:14 Devastator: just wondering if I should have done something more mundane for you to interpret, then. ;-p
06:26:47 ER: well, you know that I love jumping down the hivemind.
06:29:13 Devastator: also seems risky, but we can just collapse that fork, usually, right?
06:29:23 Devastator: and if it works, hey, stick with it.
06:31:02 Devastator: I don't know if it's an always thing or not.
06:38:10 ER: Well, I guess you'll either fine out or won't.
06:38:40 Devastator: I know very few things in this game.
06:39:05 ER: yeah, that tends to happen when I'm in charge :V
06:39:29 Devastator: it's intriguing, there's lots of room to experiment, and before it ends we must have the best rack in the afterlife. ;-p
06:40:27 ER: you'll have a better chance at that if you explicitly state it, but let's be honest God probably has you beat there
06:41:38 Devastator: well, can make a proper try at it. ;-p
06:45:49 Devastator: ..dammit, talking with
NJW has been reminding me of Nan. She was fun. ;-p
06:46:05 ER: tell him to run another game
06:50:26 ER: I'm going to play that luna nights game now
07:07:35 Devastator: so modern castlevania with touhou?
07:09:04 Devastator: the power of coca-cola.
07:10:56 Devastator: "I can control my power to the manipulate time."
07:11:02 Devastator: Not as cool as imperial battleship.
07:11:51 Devastator: can you use it to air-jump?
07:19:12 ER: looks like I still get the better graze when in slowed time
07:23:41 Devastator: knives are for sale.
07:23:59 ER: can't afford it yet, looks like
07:24:10 ER: can only buy consumables, which is... meh
07:24:30 Devastator: don't you sell your gems for money?
07:24:30 ER: specially seeing as the gems apparently can give stat boosts?
07:24:32 Devastator: and yeah, not enough.
07:25:26 ER: I'll buy the shop item in case I realize later that I actually need to shop. :P
07:25:54 Devastator: buying extra MP sounds useful.
07:36:09 ER: yeah, that healing item is expensive, actually :P
07:39:44 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:42:18 ER: looks like the special attack doesn't use mana in stopped time
07:43:46 ER: this doesn't quite play like any other game, getting used to these face buttons will take some time :P
07:43:47 Devastator: no imperial battleship, but time.
07:43:51 Devastator: oh man, I don't think
NJW saw that either.
07:45:09 syv: I think it's a Japanese thing. Grief Syndrome uses the same setup.
07:45:47 syv: And yeah, it's fun. There's a special simple pleasure to stopping time so you can run up and summon a chainsaw inside someone's face.
07:46:05 ER: yeah, but also few games have this kind of time stop mechanic
07:46:30 syv: Amusingly, the only other one I can think of offhand is ALSO Grief Syndrome.
07:46:40 syv: Maybe time stop is a Japanese thing too.
07:46:52 Devastator: that was fun, but I don't know if I want to play that again.
07:46:59 Devastator: I remember you made 'goblin edition' for me. ;-p
07:48:13 Devastator: ..I forget what the difference was. No levelling?
07:48:19 syv: Yes. I have a list of modifications to improve it, which I'll never get around to because I have better coding projects, and trying to reverse engineer Japanese code written in English, modified randomly by several Westerners, is... :(
07:48:19 Devastator: no, levelling was part of that game.
07:48:33 syv: Modifying bad homura to be worse, IIRC.
07:48:49 Devastator: yeah, there was something that she had that I didn't want.
07:48:56 Devastator: some parry thing or something.
07:49:06 syv: Ahh, yeah. There was an improved modded version of the game, which made her timestop end when the timestop was released.
07:49:27 syv: The gun charge time and her health were also improved, though I'm unsure if I fixed the former?
07:49:51 syv: The parry (which was added by the mod) wasn't applied to bad Homura ever. That was for other chars.
07:50:45 syv: Did you ever get past level 3? I don't think you did, though it's understandable.
07:50:51 ER: I like having a "knife" stat
07:51:19 ER: I'm pretty sure we did a few NG+ streaks in 3 player mode
07:51:40 syv: Winning with three players isn't so hard in the normal mode.
07:52:00 Devastator: I do remember bouncing off stage 3 a lot, but eventually beat it.
07:52:20 Devastator: yeah, those are easier than 3.
07:52:50 Devastator: 3 was the white carnival stage, 4 was the dark stage, and 5 was the boss.
07:52:56 ER: should really mod it so that only the player who gets the highest score gets a recharge after the boss fight. ;P
07:53:09 syv: And 5 is... random, actually, there's a bug that makes the caster units sometimes teleport offscreen.
07:53:20 syv: So you only have to fight a fraction as many.
07:53:35 syv: It's one of the things on the list to fix.
07:54:42 syv: But yeah, I really shouldn't be given source code for games. It makes me stop enjoying them because I want to mod them, except I'm not determined enough to actually finish mods, so I just stop playing the game entirely. :(
07:54:53 Devastator: it's fine, we all stop playing eventually.
07:57:01 Devastator: Oh, Torus Troopers.
07:57:07 Devastator: gotta get that off that hard drive.
07:58:30 Devastator: ..and my V&K install.
07:59:12 Devastator: man, so much stuff.
08:00:28 Devastator: Mmm, Warning Forever.
08:00:32 Devastator: now that's a fun diversion.
08:02:52 syv: I tune in to see you win a bossfight.
08:03:13 syv: I think I lost three times.
08:04:09 ER: slide seems kinda useless except to get under things. :P
08:05:36 syv: Like you can slide over those blades.
08:05:51 syv: Most hitboxes are smaller than they look.
08:07:13 ER: it hit me and I can't get the thingy
08:07:35 syv: Also find a save point first.
08:23:40 ER: I'm tired and can't really manage to feel positive
08:51:10 ER: bah, when did it become 3:50?
09:12:18 ER: making game, playing game. all hard
09:12:52 ER: and life is the big hardest of the big hard games to make or play
09:21:00 ER: NO, WE WILL NOT ABANDON THE DREAM
09:45:15 ER: Hmm. Mind shenanigans rolled a 10. Not good enough.
10:00:49 ER: Ilan First Warden, exposition device.
10:12:38 ER: but this update is longer than ones before, I think.
10:12:52 ER: oh well, I guess that might justify the time I took on it?
10:16:49 ER: you know, I didn't actually think that I would write dying twice in the same update, but that's just how things ended up making sense to me.
10:25:29 ER: ah... hopefully this isn't too incomprehensible...
10:25:47 ER: or maybe it's good if it is?
10:27:55 syv: It's more than good enough!
10:28:47 ER: with that roll... this might take even more writing.
10:31:17 ER: wait, is this a yellow slash or a red cross situation?
10:31:55 ER: I decided that losing conciousness would close that fork, but I guess I didn't decide which symbol it would use
10:58:58 Devastator: So, we're back in the cell, then?
10:59:20 ER: nah, it says something that's not that, doesn't it?
10:59:36 ER: And it's not a cell, it's a tunnel
10:59:39 Devastator: Well, yeah, but we died in all three forks.
10:59:48 Devastator: so back in the cell?
11:00:03 ER: If you died in all three forks, the game would end.
11:00:15 ER: Or at least, something other than that would have to happen.
11:00:48 ER: You just lost conciousness, which is represented by the X
11:01:36 ER: okay, I'll make it a blue X
11:01:54 Devastator: bad roll to fail, though.
11:02:03 Devastator: because now we'll remember failing, which means less risk-taking.
11:06:01 Devastator: Yeah, that's.. ugh.
11:06:07 Devastator: a lot of the utility of forking there.
11:06:37 Devastator: damn jump down the hole order.
11:07:11 ER: it's inevitable that you'll get to see how things work
11:07:55 ER: I put you in a room with a hole so that you would jump in the hole and die and we would get to see how that goes.
11:09:25 Devastator: yeah, but if we hadn't failed that roll I wouldn't expect to get knocked out in every fork for doing something risky in one..
11:09:57 ER: That roll was a "how do I flavor you failing this" roll
11:10:12 ER: This isn't the kind of game where you blame the dice, only me.
11:11:09 Devastator: Nah, that's for Monstergame, where Nak doesn't understand what I want to the point where success rolls are indistinguishable from critfails.
11:11:17 Devastator: ie, EVERY roll is a failure.
11:11:53 Devastator: the only thing here I'd blame on you is having the character named with one vote.
11:11:54 syv: Don't worry about
Dev's opinion,
ER.
11:12:01 syv: He just complains, it's what he does.
11:14:42 Devastator: "You succeed. The exact oppositite of what you were trying to do happens."
11:16:59 syv: Is that a problem with Sh?
11:17:21 Devastator: no, in Sh when you succeed what you want generally happens.
11:17:40 syv: I typed Sh, meant Fork. -.-
11:17:42 Devastator: you have to actually fail to get weird stuff to happen.
11:17:51 Devastator: Nah, not in Fork. That was from Monstergame.
11:18:03 Devastator: in fork we haven't succeeded at anything yet.
11:18:41 Devastator: It'll come, I'm sure.
11:18:46 syv: So, not related to Fork, but you're bringing it up anyway to complain about it?
11:19:02 Devastator: because Egan asked me if I'd blame him and not the dice.
11:19:28 ER: I'm not asking for your opinion here~
11:19:30 Devastator: Well, not happening, because you didn't fuck up like Nak did there.
12:04:08 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK AT&T!"]
