00:39:39 Devastator: I will admit "You've got someone's kid in here, huh." is a good line.
00:55:32 Devastator: "always casts explosive projectiles + explosion immunity."
00:58:40 Devastator: it's hilarious but I need a slower projectile than sparkbolts.
01:06:24 Devastator: mmm, energy spheres with timers.
01:38:07 Devastator: hey
PW, how much gold we talking?
01:42:56 Devastator: Eh, I'll just assume zero until he gives me a number. ;-p

01:45:12 syv: "A lich whose phylactery is on a comet in the sky which periodically returns close enough for the lich to descend every 29 years."
01:45:18 syv: This is awesome and I love it.
01:49:34 ER: In, I dunno, however long it takes me to write it
01:49:41 ER: just copied down the actions
01:50:45 ER: narrative quality not guaranteed.
01:51:18 GameServ:
ER rolled 3d6: 6 2 3 <Total: 11>
01:51:58 GameServ:
ER rolled 3d6: 1 3 6 <Total: 10(-3) = 7>
01:54:34 ER: nope. my neurons aren't making chains of words for this
01:59:51 syv: Chew gum. That *always* helps me massively.
02:00:16 ER: bah. hy put thing in mouth if I can't devour it
02:00:24 ER: and they're all sugar free anyway
02:00:26 syv: The other thing I do when I'm having trouble writing a turn is block it out in terms of what happens.
02:00:41 syv: It clear my mind and calms me down.
02:01:25 syv: Gum works better than real food because it remains chewy and stays in my mouth, letting me chew for the entire turn.
02:01:33 syv: Or at least long enough to enter flow.
02:02:17 syv: Anyway, I roll the dice, decide what happens, and write basic sentences. "Alida dodges away and falls, her human body goes flying off to the side."
02:02:50 syv: Then once I have a full sequence for all characters, which flows, I start fleshing it out.
02:03:26 syv: If I hit a block for fleshing it out, usually I can fix it by thinking about what that specific person sees, and how they feel about it.
02:07:22 syv: All else fails, just saying "[Person] does [The Thing]" is generally quite enough. Not everything needs to be flashy; "Alice shoots at Bob, but misses." isn't bad.
03:10:06 syv: Pizza is an acceptable excuse. Enjoy your pizza.
03:14:21 Devastator: should I suggest something..
03:16:01 Devastator: for that thinking enemy suggeston.
03:16:13 Devastator: "Some random person in a city of a million people."
03:16:33 Devastator: Going to burn it down magically in a couple weeks.
03:18:42 Devastator: well, could roll for it.
03:18:52 ER: in a city the size of LW's one, it would be impossible to find that person, and probably extremely hard for that person to destroy it
03:19:03 syv: I wasn't asking for a Sh update. I was asking if you were talking about it.
03:19:12 Devastator: nah, talking about that thread above.
03:19:22 Devastator:
ER linked a thread where people were supposed to come up with creative D&D monsters.
03:19:31 Devastator: Comet Lich would fit in.
03:19:37 syv: Yeah, I saw, it was entertaining.
03:22:17 ER: I think I'll give up and wait to see if my brain stops malfunctioning in a few days, rather than stare at a monitor for an hour and a half trying to write a simple sentance.
03:25:56 Devastator: oh, that's a 1 on the money.
03:26:32 Devastator: and.. ok on the teaching.
03:27:41 syv: No, I really want to work on PS tonight, and more importantly I need to do some things before PS.
03:28:01 syv: I haven't done them all day, but my deadline is in a half hour, so I should start any minute now.
03:29:15 syv:
Devastator, did you purchase the $5 bundle?
03:29:38 Devastator: I don't buy stuff in bundles.
03:30:37 Devastator: because I buy things I want?
03:30:40 Devastator: It's not complicated.
03:31:07 syv: It is statistically likely that there will be something within this bundle that you will want which we will find.
03:32:48 Devastator: but yes. I find stuff I want, and then I buy it.
03:32:52 Devastator: it's not complicated.
03:32:57 ER: you know, we could just buy it for $5 and send him the link ;p
03:32:57 syv: You have casually accepted piracy of quite a lot of media on this channel, including some games and many books.
03:33:19 syv: I was already going to do that but if he buys it himself I can save the link for someone else.
03:34:45 Devastator: I don't follow. I'm not pirating it either.
03:35:59 syv: Functionally buying the bundle instead of buying the games you want is pirating, since you're giving 5$ to charity instead of $10+ to the developers themselves.
03:36:09 ER: I must go, my people need me!
03:36:20 Devastator: I do give to charity, though.
03:36:24 Devastator: I do that through charitable donations.
03:38:20 syv: It's obtaining the games without paying the creators for it, and justifying this theft by donating a smaller sum to a presumably good cause. I.E. from a utilitarian standpoint it's functionally equivalent to pirating a bunch of games then giving a pittance to charity.
03:38:55 Devastator: well, except if I donate directly I can pick my own charity, and don't need to support game bundles.
03:39:14 syv: Yeah, which is why I don't recommend paying more than the minimum price.

05:21:37 Devastator: so should T-Mobile be fucked?
05:25:27 MidJag_ has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:27:00 MidJag_: Eh, stressed. As always. But I played some DnD tonight so stress has been lessened slightlly
05:27:59 Devastator: in person or virtual bones?
05:28:40 MidJag_: Virtual. Everyones scattered over the summer+ COVID.
05:30:13 Devastator: things are getting almost to zero here.
05:30:20 MidJag_: It's not /awful/ but in person is 100% better.
05:31:49 syv: They're back on the rise again down here.
05:32:14 Devastator: Stay safe, as best you can.
05:32:20 MidJag_: T-mobile does seem terrible
05:33:30 syv: I tried on five different occasions to call someone today. It finally worked around eleven, a little while after I got a flood of texts.
05:33:41 Devastator: we seems to have flatlined at 11 hospitalizations. Probably as close to zero as we can get with it still bad in other provinces.
05:33:45 syv: Had been thinking I'd need to go driving out to the city just to connect a call.
05:35:23 syv: My oldest coworker, who's ~70, apparently doesn't seem to be taking coronavirus very seriously. I never see him with a mask, and he's been pretty dismissive of it every time I mentioned. And has sorta made fun of my mask.
05:36:51 syv: It annoys me, since for the *most* part the rest of us are young and not in the highly vulnerable segment of the population, and part of the reason I've been extra cautious about keeping the office clean is because he works there.
05:36:52 MidJag_: Everyone in Florida is crazy save present company. That's my theory
05:37:31 syv: God, Florida has too many old people. We're going to really suffer when it breaks out here for real.
05:37:50 Devastator: well, matter of weeks.
05:43:42 Devastator: got a bit of a hyperrogue game going.
05:44:14 syv: I got hyperrogue on my phone.
05:44:19 syv: It's fun, but too crashy...
05:45:19 Devastator: trying to decide what world next. Graveyard + Haunted Forest, or to try and do the Ocean -> Carribean -> Ryleh -> Temple of Cthulu route.
05:45:33 Devastator: or walk around and look for a Palace.
05:46:30 Devastator: could also look for a Minefield or Mirror land.
05:46:33 Devastator: minefields are good.
05:46:35 Devastator: or a Land of Storms.
05:47:09 Devastator: and.. fuck, misclicked in a minefield.
05:58:57 MidJag_: Is hyperrouge the nonecludian rougelike?
06:01:05 syv: I think it'd be a cool thing to fiddle with for 20 mins or so some day. Not to try for a real run, just to see how it works.
06:01:58 syv: You can get a lot from watching
Dev, but you don't quite *get* it until you actually play it yourself. At least, it was like that for me.
06:02:12 Devastator: I could stream it for you,
MJ.
06:02:23 Devastator: you have to play it some to really start understanding it.
06:02:25 MidJag_: Sure. I can watch for a little bit.
06:03:34 syv: Show him the haunted woods if you get a chance.
06:05:11 Devastator: do note that the screen is a bit too big to read chat easily. I'll have to click over to it.
06:08:37 MidJag_: This is a very strange game. I forgot how much it hurts my brain to look at.
06:09:07 syv: It's mind bending to play.
06:09:39 MidJag_: Apperently the guy who made it is a making a new game
06:10:03 syv: I know there's a 3d first person game with a similar concept in development.
06:10:16 syv: The trailer was passed around here awhile ago, it looked awesome.
06:14:46 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:18:17 MidJag: heh. That's a good refrence
06:22:26 MidJag: Honestlly great music here
06:28:24 Devastator: I'm in the forest now, btw.
06:30:59 MidJag: I think i missed the descrption of the haunted forest
06:35:06 Devastator: there's another land like that called The Hive.
06:35:17 Devastator: where you have to retrace your steps to get back to the loot.
06:35:25 Devastator: there's lots of odd coloured rocks in it for waypoints, though.
06:36:58 Devastator: I found the only way that works for me is taking notes.
06:38:07 MidJag: Yeah I would never remember those
06:38:29 Devastator: with the way it spins..
06:48:12 Devastator: well, it's free, so feel free to try yourself sometime.
06:51:08 Devastator: just be warned, the Princess quest takes a long time.
06:56:35 Devastator: gonna hit the sack a bit earlier than ususal,
syv.
06:56:57 syv: ...Okay, that is really weird.
06:57:10 syv: Both Egan *and*
Dev are going to sleep before
MJ.
06:57:30 Devastator: I could stay up. Am going to finish a book before actually sleeping.
06:57:34 Devastator: still gonna be earlier than usua.
06:57:39 MidJag: Though my sleep schedule is in shamble latelly.
06:57:40 Devastator: but nah, see you later guys.
07:02:07 MidJag: Hmm, I probably shoudl go to bed myself. Going to try to fix my sleep schedule.
