02:38:17 Devastator: I see I'm not banned.
04:17:08 Devastator: it's crashing whenever I have a sufficiently big battle.
04:17:19 Devastator: I'll have to either fix that or start over on larger unit sizes.
04:17:33 ER: and that's why video games are bad
05:07:52 Devastator: maybe I should play with duck instead.

05:45:48 syv has left #einsteinianroulette [You]
05:45:56 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:46:49 syv: Annoyingly, unlike Lambda, I can't talk for the bot and make it say :(
05:47:28 ER: you should file a complaint
05:48:48 syv: "Yes, hello Nymphetamine. Your
chanserv bot SUCKS. Thank you!"
05:49:00 GameServ: Some names to ponder: Wyendim, Gravelin, Halwarnelydor, Hargwaron, Tarlquent, Kolascacyro, Terber, Bayterisien, Labrikcarn, Clauneameayn, Drasartian, Barirene, Azarnearyn, Corluthrasyn, Valastarry, Kuvisienber, Jarazyn, Irethastastar, Aron, Forancerondar.
06:07:54 Devastator: got some work done, should update tomorrow.
06:14:51 Devastator: also, bit of a sky conjunction tomorrow, too.
06:14:55 Devastator: moon is right next to venus.
06:18:17 ER: I feel like that means the moon would fall into venus
06:19:01 syv: Nah, Luna and Venus are both straight chicks.
06:19:07 syv: They aren't attracted to each other.
06:19:28 ER: not in the webcomic adaptation
07:01:56 Devastator: yay, fixed the crash bug.
07:07:00 Devastator: also nay, king died of illness with no heirs.
07:07:09 Devastator: his oldest kid was 14.
07:07:21 Devastator: well, oldest son. He had five older daughters.
07:14:33 syv: Does the game have any mechanics to represent other family members influencing the regent?
07:28:13 Devastator: Nah, nothing like that.
07:28:18 Devastator: it's not Crusader Kings.
07:31:37 Devastator: that mechanic exists so you can murder opposing kings and such.
07:41:27 Devastator: turned out 'died of an illness' was actually 'got assassinated.'
07:41:29 Devastator: moving him saved him.
07:51:42 Devastator: oh well. Maybe should play that for an audience sometime, but it's a long game.
07:53:42 ER: I only find TW slightly interesting when it's played by a professional entertainer and has vampires and wizards
07:53:56 Devastator: Fair point, though.
07:54:03 ER: so I don't think I would bother watching you play medivial
07:54:10 Devastator: ..though it's the vampires and wizards I find the most boring part of the game.
07:54:43 ER: i mean, medivial doesn't even have guns and samurai. you could do better~
07:57:31 Devastator: both handguns and big ol cannon.
08:00:49 Devastator: Forancerondar, eh/?
08:43:26 ER: it's late, but time to watch a lil eva? :P
08:44:58 syv: If you're both up to it, yeah.
08:55:00 Devastator: No, kaiju are not angels.
08:55:28 syv: Does Japan have one of those?
08:55:40 Devastator: and I think they're technically an international operation.
08:55:51 Devastator: full frontal drinking.
08:56:31 syv: Does she have beer for lunch at work?
08:56:38 Devastator: who is to say elsewise?
08:56:47 Devastator: and yeah, surprisingly coherant.
08:57:23 syv: Takes his... whatever she is.
08:57:41 Devastator: they're looting the d8!
08:57:43 ER: guardian spook for the xcom
08:57:44 syv: Thar doesn't seem quite enough to describe her.
08:58:02 Devastator: the dub agrees with me.
08:58:15 syv: I have a severe hatred for audible sparkles
08:58:49 syv: "The two of us will take care of Misato"
08:59:36 Devastator: ...your budget here is insane.
08:59:42 syv: "We're underfinanced, especially because if we fail everyone dies."
08:59:58 Devastator: That's an understandable point of view, but their budget seems to be ALL THE MONEY.
08:59:59 syv: How can you be underfinanced with that kind of pitch?
09:01:43 Devastator: I'd expect them to tell people most of the truth, tbh..
09:01:56 Devastator: it wasn't a meteor, it was an attack, that caused the giant monster.
09:02:34 Devastator: SSDF.. does that mean japan has nukes now?
09:03:36 Devastator: Is it more risky than fighting giant angels in melee inside cities?
09:04:06 Devastator: wow, this guy is both totally right and an enormous dick at the same time.
09:04:44 syv: Didn't they nuke the first angel we saw?
09:04:56 Devastator: something like that, yeah.
09:05:33 Devastator: ..you didn't publicise the key feature to the implausable physical performance of angels?
09:05:55 Devastator: Dammit, you don't keep stuff like that secret, if for no other reason than maybe someone else will do it better.
09:06:27 ER: so they made a giant mech powered by a nuke reactor rather than space magic?
09:07:01 syv: Well, that was inevitable.
09:07:13 ER: is this just a world where anything big enough will go berserk?
09:07:29 Devastator: I think it's because AT fields are intended to punish humans.
09:07:35 Devastator: so they only cause problems.
09:07:36 syv: So they're probably angels.
09:07:46 Devastator: yeah, or close enough.
09:08:28 ER: they called EVAs "artificial humans" in the first episode
09:10:19 Devastator: she's moving towards 'sanest of all introduced characters' again.
09:10:48 Devastator: That's a big transport.
09:11:15 Devastator: huge, giant, colossal.
09:11:30 syv: Why does it have a restraining grip?
09:11:52 Devastator: probably had some physical securities for tests while it was tethered.
09:12:23 Devastator: oonz oonz oonz oonz oonz.
09:12:52 Devastator: fail safe, not fail deadly.
09:13:44 ER: angels fucked with the program?
09:14:06 syv: Their program failed to fuck with *it*.
09:14:18 Devastator: "The miracle was setup by someone."
09:14:51 Devastator: deliberate sabotage of someone else's attempt at making anti-angel weapons.
09:15:07 syv: Is he a dick for that if he's right?
09:15:10 Devastator: you can be fucking wrong too, so don't be the only person doing that.
09:15:22 Devastator: It's assuming that nobody else can possibly do what you do.
09:15:56 Devastator: Because refusing to admit the possibility of being wrong can be used to justify anything.
09:16:32 ER: I don't have enough mental capacity to tell what you're talking about and watch at the same time
09:16:56 syv: Gendo sabotaged the nuclear Eva.
09:17:06 syv: So that they wouldn't choose it over his evas.
09:17:19 Devastator: because he's a dick.
09:17:20 syv: Probably because he actually knows what angels are, and knows Evas are needed to fight them.
09:17:37 Devastator: well, that still means you should tell someone else then.
09:19:40 ER: wait, "absolute terror field"
09:20:03 syv: Is that one of the flash screens?
09:21:02 Devastator: well, that's getting sunk.
09:21:23 syv: Obviously, it must be a another worf.
09:21:36 Devastator: Gendo be a jealous bastard, and all..
09:21:42 syv: So what's the strength rating of an invulnerable Kaiju?
09:22:11 Devastator: invulnerable wouldn't have a valid.
09:22:28 Devastator: wouldn't be a valid strength.
09:23:01 syv: What strength would be needed to tank a nuke?
09:23:23 Devastator: mmm, absolute minimum would be about 5 or 6.
09:23:48 Devastator: but I'd expect more.
09:23:49 syv: What kinda power rating does a nuke have?
09:24:00 Devastator: Sorry, nukes aren't in the armoury.
09:24:46 ER: no, you need to fight magic with magic
09:25:08 Devastator: Magic must defeat Magic!
09:26:33 ER: she has to train the new kid to be COOL, like HER
09:26:49 Devastator: Jackie Chan adventures?
09:26:55 Devastator: ..yeah, it was good.
09:28:11 Devastator: huh, this might be to show us that people other than Gendo can do stuff. Maybe they'll just suffer some casulties instead of getting the whole fleet wiped.
09:28:29 syv: Nobody other than Gendo can do stuff;
09:28:30 Devastator: And no, I don't really believe that.
09:28:42 Devastator: One day someone will make that show.
09:29:22 syv: Does his uniform have breasts?
09:29:40 Devastator: Aska probably had a spare. ;-p
09:29:43 ER: why does he have to be in it
09:29:51 syv: Makes them more drift compatible
09:31:50 Devastator: Ahh, that's why not to activate the EVA, only a minute of active time.
09:32:05 Devastator: otherwise I'd expect the guy to get it prepped on first sight, like battle stations.
09:32:20 ER: fuck you, navy dudes. fuck your botes. they're stepping stones
09:32:30 Devastator: ..They should have come up with a better method before deploying it to sea.
09:32:32 syv: Oh man, so many dead people
09:32:57 Devastator: this is hilariously ridiculous.
09:33:29 Devastator: also cool looking angel.
09:33:51 Devastator: yes. Is this a japanese trope?
09:34:06 Devastator: And on this day, the USN stopped doing deck parks.
09:34:18 Devastator: red haired berzerkers.
09:34:59 syv: Why is Shinji even in the fucking robot?
09:35:17 ER: so he can see how cool she is
09:35:25 Devastator: maybe because red hasn't ever fought an angel.
09:36:20 Devastator: Someone tell her that naval guns have ranges measured in dozens of kilometers.
09:36:26 syv: That is completely insane on every single level.
09:36:38 Devastator: I mean, drag it to the surface and shoot big guns at it is reasonable.
09:36:40 Devastator: the rest is insane.
09:36:52 ER: gotta shoot inside of its mouth
09:36:54 Devastator: also FUCK that's a good winch.
09:37:12 Devastator: make the next eva out of that winch.
09:37:27 syv: That is not how ships work
09:37:46 Devastator: well, you could theoretically pull a ship under if you pulled it hard enough.
09:38:28 Devastator: Now you stop breaking the ships?
09:38:41 Devastator: Also, there is apparently no absolute restriction on hurting an angel with a non-AT weapon.
09:38:54 ER: well, it was inside the body
09:39:20 syv: What strength does a kaiju need to tank swallowing two cruisers?
09:39:57 Devastator: I'm not sure how I'd grade that.
09:40:21 syv: Is this yet another voice?
09:40:36 syv:
ER, is this one of the Jap voices?
09:41:41 ER: or are we fed up with this stoopid show yet? ;P
09:42:52 Devastator: That one was definately stupid, but very amusing.
09:42:57 syv: It's on an uphill slope right now.
09:43:28 syv: Apparently her name is Asuka.
09:43:37 syv: Which... doesn't sound very German.
09:43:55 Devastator: Thought they were calling her Aska.
09:43:55 ER: maybe they didn't know any german names? :P
09:44:06 Devastator: Aska Langley Suriyu.
09:45:39 Devastator: diagrams of the names of god.
09:46:05 Devastator: the full nerv logo, various plot artifacts, definitions of the three evas.
09:46:23 Devastator: which was introduced last episode, about the human enhancement program or whatever.
09:46:28 syv: Definitions of the three evas?
09:46:45 ER: I was wondering why the voice was so terrible and then realized I was still on english
09:46:47 Devastator: 002 is a 'production model'
09:46:51 syv: Jeez, these kids work fast with these pictures.
09:47:01 Devastator: 001 is the 'prototype model'
09:47:05 Devastator: and 000 is 'experimental.'
09:48:25 ER: that;s where their power comes from
09:48:49 Devastator: well, that explains Gendo's bad behavior, then. Kid looked normal, so had to be abused.
09:49:11 syv: They're emotion powered, just like magical girls.
09:49:16 Devastator: "Condition Yellow" (Red lights)
09:49:37 Devastator: yes, the last one, supposedly. There was a mention of that for others, but I forget the colours.
09:49:40 ER: do those three coresspond to the three childs
09:50:34 Devastator: on their power scales, it's reasonable.
09:50:51 Devastator: classical weapon, that.
09:51:15 syv: And she uses it as a halberd.
09:51:24 Devastator: someone didn't hit the red ball.
09:51:37 Devastator: ..that is bullshit.
09:52:03 Devastator: No, that ability isn't on the list of unrevealed kaiju abilities.
09:52:22 Devastator: deployable units are a possibility, but not like that.
09:53:06 Devastator: "Your job is to defeat the angels, not to pilot the EVAs."
09:53:17 ER: "you should cooperate because otherwise we'll kill- I mean fire you"
09:54:28 Devastator: ..the lives of these people are going to get horribly destroyed, aren't they?
09:56:02 Devastator: acceptance through sitcom hijinks.
09:56:21 syv: Choreograph the fight with music
09:56:24 Devastator: the dumb bits are better.
09:56:51 Devastator: life isn't worth living if you can't make your giant mecha do idol dances.
09:56:53 ER: we should try music coeriography in PS
09:57:00 Devastator: That would be awesome.
09:57:03 Devastator: Alida would be so up for that.
09:57:45 syv: DwR choreography would work great.
09:59:22 ER: I want to be. the very best.
09:59:29 Devastator: like no one ever was.
10:00:11 Devastator jots that down for DwR.
10:00:41 Devastator: ..the pokemon theme song?
10:01:02 syv: 'd be appropriate, honestly.
10:01:06 ER: I think he's complaining about the show
10:01:12 ER: not the song we were quoting
10:01:14 Devastator: Yes. but why implies it wouldn't be.
10:03:08 Devastator: yeah. Hence why they won't get in a serious relationship.
10:04:24 syv: Why don't they use all three?
10:04:36 Devastator: prototype is prototype?
10:05:47 Devastator: good thing they didn't have 58 seconds of poer.
10:06:54 syv: Why does the ed singer keep getting younger?
10:09:11 Devastator:
syv has hit what overload.
10:09:33 ER: also that episode was basically irony's game
10:09:48 ER: wonder if he did some creative theft
10:09:54 Devastator: maybe we should have all had pairs.
10:10:15 ER: pair piloted mech are the best
10:11:14 syv: I find it amusing that Asuka is basically Ada.
10:11:26 syv: If only Shinji were closer to Sophia.
10:11:42 Devastator: Another pilot might show up.
10:12:35 syv: Yeah, another pilot would be in the OP
10:12:49 syv: Also, we've got a good id-ego-superego trio.
10:17:15 Devastator: Eh, besides,
syv, from all that I've heard, things are certainly going to get dark.
10:17:36 ER: though probably not any less inexplicable
10:18:12 syv: I'm good with continuing the show
10:18:28 syv: It's amusing. I'm actually tempted to rewatch the dance battle.
10:18:35 syv: Because... mecha dance battle.
10:19:51 syv: Should we watch Pacific Rim sometime?
10:20:47 ER: I am entertained by large machines
10:21:04 ER: and we can make lots of references to
dev's game
10:22:11 Devastator: I wouldn't mind doing os.
10:24:26 syv: What the fuck did I just watch?
10:24:57 ER: look, people have been doing over-the-top sequences for a long time
10:25:06 ER: that arms race is gonna lead palces
10:25:55 syv: Why near-kissing and changing clothes in the middle of a mecha dance battle?
10:26:06 syv: Why is that an accurate sentence?
10:27:20 Devastator: went through a LP of an earlier game in that series.
10:27:43 Devastator: in general, each one tries to top the ridiculousness of the previous game's special attacks.
10:29:18 syv: ...Is that the most recent one?
10:29:32 syv: It looks too old, unless it killed the series.
10:29:42 Devastator: There's the team-up attack for the two most manly characters.
10:31:59 syv: Did they blow up the entire planet as *collateral damage*?
10:32:07 syv: It's not even half as insane, though.
10:32:14 Devastator: I think they're doing that battle in space.
10:32:19 Devastator: It's otherwise known as "Real men ride each other."
10:32:34 syv: And at first he was galloping on Earth.
10:32:49 syv: The only alternative is that he blew up the moon.
10:34:55 Devastator: It's artistic license.
10:37:50 Devastator: Nah, you look at other moves you can see there's exactly as much stuff around as there needs to be.
10:40:09 syv: Can I make my planes gain combat bonuses from dance battling with each other?
10:40:25 syv: The more planes join in, the bigger the boon?
10:40:45 Devastator: if you design for it, sure.
10:41:18 syv: Can their dance routine consist entirely of pelvic thrusting while wearing frilly dresses, which causes sparkles to fly off them?
10:41:32 Devastator: if you design for it, sure.
10:41:56 syv: The only good reason not to do this is that it would take a year to finish.
10:42:22 syv: And then tell *nobody* about it
10:42:32 ER: if you want to design a dance which nekobutchers can equip as a weapon
10:42:43 syv: They just get to see it in action.
10:43:01 syv: Frilly dressed planes pelvic thrusting at the kaiju, then the kaiju go boom
10:43:12 syv: Do nekobutchers even have a free slot?
10:43:30 ER: eh. one of em is rockets and who cares
10:44:17 syv: So you'd equip it if I designed a dance for your catgirls which makes kaiju explode?
10:44:28 syv: Ehh, it'd make more sense to make it a taunt.
10:44:40 syv: Sexy dance, so sexy it makes Kaiju need to smash them.
10:45:05 ER: if it's more effective than whatever I have in that slot, yes
10:45:16 ER: if it just draws aggro, probably not :P
10:45:27 Devastator: you can try for taunting.
10:47:01 ER: or you could make frilly dresses which are crazy good armor and force the wearers to dance
10:47:12 ER: and just mass manufacture those for all infantry
10:47:38 syv: "Yes, yes, I want finnish special forces, equipped with Russian weapons, and wearing frilly dresses."
10:48:00 syv: This sounds more like the domain of mad science, really.
10:48:15 syv:
Dev, could an MS modify a tank into a form of dance for infantry?
10:48:30 Devastator: That seems to be pushing it a bit.
10:48:46 Devastator: gotta remain a unit.
10:49:13 Devastator: I would let a MS rip off part of the tank for something else, I suppose, but I don't see where dance comes into tanks.
10:49:46 syv: Well, it's a safety dance, let's say
10:49:59 syv: They dance with pieces of reactive armor.
10:50:33 ER: it's a magic dance, which levitates reactive armor in a field around them
10:51:39 Devastator: yeah, that's pushing it.
10:52:51 ER: okay, but can we have mad scientists designing dances
11:00:26 Devastator: wouldn't be weirder than combat drugs.
