01:42:54 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:43:53 Devastator: no, really tomorrow. Have something to do today.
01:45:09 syv: Did any of my planes survive?
01:45:15 syv: It'll suck if all my planes die.
01:46:41 Devastator: you got a decent deployment.
01:46:49 Devastator: and could talk about the kaiju's special abilities a bit.
01:49:02 ER: the entire sky is flashing over here
01:52:38 Devastator: Well, the glass skin thing will basically make it ignore the first point of damage done every 'round' Like regen, but worse, since no chance of knocking something out.
01:52:51 Devastator: the ooze thing is basically just extra HP.
01:53:00 Devastator: and there are three weapons.
01:55:38 Devastator: that thumper, acid breath, and a new one.
01:58:50 syv: I should've told the car to flee if the jets all get knocked out or leave.
01:59:56 Devastator: It's not quite a sniper cannon, it's a bit odd.
02:00:14 Devastator: basically it's a shrapnel mortar.
02:01:15 Devastator: except weird. It's not like a sniper cannon, it does fairly moderate damage instead of high or low.
02:01:28 Devastator: and it is dodgeable.
02:01:49 syv: Do the jets automatically avoid clumping up?
02:02:18 Devastator: yeah, you got a good deployment so you're fine with that.
02:02:58 Devastator: they're pretty fast, won't clump up unless you have like a dozen of them.
02:03:31 Devastator: they're ok on range.
02:03:31 syv: ...I read "half a dozen" somehow.
02:03:44 Devastator: four might be issues if they were like F or E range.
02:03:57 Devastator: or if they were slower fliers.
02:04:07 ER: can catgirl be deployed via missile launched from jet
02:04:17 Devastator: you'd have to develop that.
02:04:38 Devastator: do note that it'd have to be a special jet, too..
02:04:44 Devastator: don't want add-on deployment items.
02:04:49 ER: could I launch the whole unit from one jet or would it like, have to be multiple jets?
02:04:51 Devastator: that one BM chopper was an exception.
02:05:02 Devastator: Can do one jet, yea.
02:05:32 ER: not that any of this would help me any any way, of course
02:05:42 ER: they're already flying and very fast
02:05:46 syv: Can catgirl deployed from jet missile, like, actually accomplish anything?
02:06:01 syv: Can I make a payload that is actually made of living cats?
02:06:23 syv: No mods or deployment shenanigans, each unit of payload is one cst.
02:06:54 ER: can we make a base building that's just a really big cannon which fires artilerry cannons to the battle
02:06:57 Devastator: don't know why you'd do that.
02:07:16 Devastator: I have possible range values for those.
02:07:41 Devastator: but you're actually going to have to start rolling to hit for those.
02:08:37 ER: perhaps small mech knight units launched from a cannon
02:10:39 syv: Can we set up orbital bases?
02:10:47 syv: Deploy infantry via drop pods?
02:12:02 Devastator: Need a few things to research to do flying bases.
02:12:13 Devastator: I don't see why orbital ones would be a no, but same there.
02:12:48 Devastator: So yeah, probably possible. But if you want drop pods, you can just research an orbital transport and drop harnesses.
02:13:07 ER: need to build a base on luna so that we can gloat there once we win and become the NWO
02:13:36 syv: Actually, could we do that?
02:13:50 syv: Get a wincon by setting up a base on Luna, and moving humans there?
02:14:03 syv: Can't kill all humans if we leave the planet, bitches.
02:14:35 syv: If I guess more cities in Europe, can I get that answered?
02:15:15 ER: having a population off of earth would certainly make us harder to attack, as they seem to need bodies of water as a teleportation medium
02:15:29 ER: so cly we need to evaporate the oceans
02:15:44 syv: Maybe that'd work for the next century.
02:15:58 syv: Then they miniaturize the tech well enough to teleport water-bottle sized Kaiju.
02:16:29 syv: You're just drinking some water, and then a fucking lasersnake springs out of your cup and starts shooting you.
02:16:46 Devastator: nah, I don't know when (or if) I'll do another question challenge.
02:16:51 Devastator: probably eventually.
02:17:01 ER: it can't be any larger than the size that you could comfortably consume it
02:17:15 Devastator: it'd still be kaiju-strong,
ER.
02:17:26 Devastator: laser you and the building around you in half.
02:17:50 ER: not if I just grab its adorable little head and twist it off, first
02:18:21 syv: Yeah, Kaiju don't really seem all that ridiculously strong.
02:18:27 syv: They still die when you shoot them.
02:18:52 syv: They don't collapse under their own weight, so pretty impressive, but not insanely so.
02:19:25 syv: And I recall a proper giant kaiju failing to laser an artillery piece.
02:19:42 syv: So I'd expect a tiny kaiju to struggle with a building.
02:19:44 ER: wonder what program I should make to slot in my nekobutchers
02:20:09 ER: so that they live up to their name
02:20:22 ER: but defense + and crit + both seem possible
02:20:40 Devastator: can do crit chance, actually.
02:20:51 Devastator: that's normally a no, but for your nekobutchers, that's a yes.
02:21:47 Devastator: defense might be expensive.
02:21:49 Piecewise: Did anyone tell
sy that Oz is demanding him make a dig action?
02:22:03 syv: I literally did a few minutes ago.
02:22:20 ER: would it change anything other than flavor to say that nekobutchers must consume kaiju flesh to live, thus becoming more powerful?
02:22:33 Devastator: not since RGU quit after getting bullied by
RC.
02:22:36 syv: I guess I have him blocked, so he can't actually me himself, hrm.
02:22:54 Devastator: it'd be expensive if you want it anything but flavor.
02:23:15 syv: That might actually be a pretty good mod.
02:23:33 syv: Costs one KBit per month, but if it makes them research faster...
02:24:02 Devastator: that way it might make it take less, but it'd create some problems.
02:24:16 Devastator: too many bits invested in already.
02:24:32 ER: I was thinking thay would either have to defeat a kaiju each month or eat a chunk
02:25:01 ER: because there's presumably damaged parts left behind which we don't take
02:25:12 ER: but they only need the MEAT
02:27:03 Devastator: nah, better way to make them stronger is to make better weapons for them.
02:28:52 Devastator: I mean, you can do better than 'normal greatsword'
02:29:46 ER: but normal greatswords should binefit from Str scaling, so that's where I'm starting
02:38:05 Piecewise: using this as a measure...
02:38:21 Piecewise: Hole game's setting notes will be...
02:39:13 Piecewise: Might have to tighten a few things up somewhere~
02:40:32 Devastator: oh, asked
NJW about Generic Girl.
02:40:40 Devastator: said he didn't watch enough anime to do that justice.
02:41:11 syv: And Kowloon felt like a doorstopper.
02:41:16 syv: How do you have TIME for this?!
02:42:04 ER: by not updating every game every day, mortal
02:42:23 syv: I update my game monthly and I sure as hell don't have the time!
02:42:30 syv: I don't go to school, either!
02:43:35 Devastator: And you have a boring job!
02:43:43 ER: It's y belief that a properly calibrated spouse greatly increases one's productivity
02:44:06 ER: because the only thing more terrifying than one human is two of them
02:44:26 Piecewise: The key to productivity is constant small amounts of work, in my experience
02:45:26 Piecewise: The average novel is 100,000 words. If you write 1000 words a day, you'll crank out 3 to 4 novels a year.
02:46:01 syv: There's less than 412 days in a year. One page a day still takes a year.
02:46:30 Piecewise: I wrote...12 pages today I think
02:46:36 syv: And writing 2k words in a day exahausts me creatively for that day and the next.
02:47:05 ER: we should all become liches
02:47:57 syv: 's not constant small amounts of work, that's a constant stream of work
02:48:44 ER:
syv, you said that you wanted ore games where you shoot things, right?
02:49:20 ER: I feel like that's not hard parameters for IRC
02:49:26 Piecewise: Today is a work day though. Its why I do the RPG posts the way I do. I do RPGs on mornings monday and tuesday, the work on this today, and so on. So today is more than normal. But I still do work on it even on those other days, just less
02:50:06 syv: How is it not exhausting for you to write twelve pages in one day?
02:51:01 ER: so, a bank has become infested with a colony of Glooples, usually small bloblike creatures with a variety of different types. You, gotta clear it out.
02:51:03 Piecewise: I generally will write a bit, then read a bit, write a bit, look at some pictures, etc.
02:51:20 Piecewise: I've read six volumes of a manga today for example.
02:51:21 ER: You're standing outside the building and have a magic box full of weapons
02:51:29 syv: How do you go back to writing after reading something else?
02:52:18 Piecewise: Well, for this its fairly easy since I'm writing up a map and creatures and plants and such. They're all fairly contained so to speak. I don't have to keep a plot going or something.
02:53:45 Piecewise: Sorry
ER, I've blown his mind with science~
02:53:58 syv: No, now I'm just more depressed.
02:54:42 Piecewise: Don't worry
sy, it took me years to figure out a good way to work for myself.
02:54:45 syv: Update Vijiriwek with your simple 3d6 system. I don't care about shooting Gloobles.
02:55:00 syv: Yeah, I've been running PS for three and it only gets harder.
02:55:32 Piecewise: Sure, but your games are better than mine so it makes sense they'd be harder
02:58:08 syv: I have one game, and it's not better than yours, it just has more effort focused on it than most of yours, because you run five things at once most of the time. Mine's no any higher quality narratively than your necromancer SG, and it's certainly far simpler mechanically than most of your games.
02:58:53 syv: It's about a topic you like.
02:59:03 syv: That doesn't equal better.
02:59:35 syv: Fine, it's mechanically better than Piecewise's games, because
Piecewise sucks at mechanics. That's only a very small portion of the game, and doesn't play into its difficulty.
02:59:43 Piecewise: To be fair I think a lot of people do better stuff than me. Harry Baldman had great writing, even if he never used punctuation for some reason.
03:00:38 ER:
piecewise is like the soulless corporate entertainment, except he's one guy somehow
03:00:44 syv: I don't even really care about whether it's better, I just wish I could manage anywhere near the level of time you can put into your stuff.
03:00:57 syv: I'd be happy if I could update consistently even if my work was dreck.
03:01:45 syv: How in the world you update a ton of game consistently, while keeping them good, and working on other systems, while having a life, and consuming a bunch of stuff, is... how?
03:01:58 ER: pff, and yet you deny me catarctic gloople slaughter in a real time setting
03:02:20 syv: I'd take any three of those and consider it a steal.
03:03:12 Piecewise: Hmmm I don't go out much. The lockdown was no real change to me
03:03:52 Piecewise: I'm currently not in school or working, though I start school again in september, so that helps
03:04:13 syv: Well, that's something, I guess.
03:05:23 Piecewise: We'll see how I handle things with my clinical internship~
03:05:31 Piecewise: since thats a full time job on top of school.
03:05:57 Piecewise: I'll have to start budgeting time more tightly, thats for sure
03:06:48 Piecewise: Ah, thought of a good predator. I'll be back
03:08:10 ER: why do these people keep trying to get into medical nonsense
03:12:28 Piecewise: Personally, I like radiation and Money
03:15:47 Piecewise: Oh
ER a new Dungeon Meshi chapter dropped last night
03:15:58 Piecewise: Looks like we're nearing the end
03:27:05 Devastator: I had to work straight through the lockdown.
03:27:19 Devastator: mattered to me, but only in a 'you're likely to get sick from it.'
03:28:08 Devastator: so, got the idea,
Piecewise?
03:28:25 Devastator: Saeko isn't 10 pounds of magical girl with 50 pounds of buff?
03:28:37 Devastator: also august hockey is weird.
03:28:52 Devastator: hell, the weather was fall-like today.
03:28:57 Devastator: high of ~15 and rainy.
03:29:24 ER: just slap saeko's upper body on a dragon chimera
03:32:37 Devastator: that's mostly the plan, yeah.
03:32:40 Devastator: if Dragon is a word. ;-p
03:33:00 Devastator: also from dungeon meshi, yes..
03:35:17 ER: I should really get some sleep...
03:39:05 Devastator: dungeon meshi seemed weird to me.
03:39:20 Devastator: but I guess if you require food content every episode, that's what you get.
03:42:26 Devastator: not bad, but a bit weird.
03:58:11 Piecewise: Dungeon meshi doesn't have food every chapter
03:58:35 Piecewise: Or at least its not really the focus of all of them, especially now
04:00:30 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:01:18 syv: That name still makes me think of "Mad Max But Airliners"
04:02:14 er: Think we'd have turns be "cycles" of a century, split into three phases like
dev does for maximal easiness
04:02:23 Piecewise: like outlaw star fighting spaceships but planes
04:02:34 er: It's a god survival game,
pw
04:03:32 syv: It sounds more badass than it is.
04:03:45 syv: It's more just depressing, as you'd expect from us.
04:03:54 er: First phase, "awakening". Select the location you appear at after your inactivity, roll to gain Essense from that place.
04:04:58 er: Second phase, "miracles", spend essense on stuff in the world, resolve immediate consequences
04:06:13 er: Third phase, "slumber", select how much Essence to put towards recovery, roll to take damage, 100 years worth of NPC nonsense
04:06:41 Devastator: you know,
PW, had an idea for a game.
04:06:47 Devastator: but not sure who should run it.
04:08:40 syv: It really doesn't seem like Dubs' kinda game.
04:12:19 er: Are you sure it's not mine?

05:27:30 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:29:59 Devastator: not sure how much to write about the tomb robbing suggestion.
05:37:02 Devastator: "Well, ain't that a start already?? Like we always say here in the Hospital, ya just gotta stuff some guts back in!"
05:37:08 Devastator:
Piecewise? Any opinion on that?
05:44:07 ER: just gotta stuff them guts back in
05:57:24 Devastator: I think Fern might finally be getting the idea of how things work in the Hospital.
06:09:25 ER: I feel that about covers it
06:13:05 ER: though to be fair "Create Angel" and "Convert Mana" do a lot of lifting there
06:14:37 ER: did you leave this on,
syv?
06:15:20 Devastator: How do you make life?
06:15:53 ER: yeet some Life Mana at something or have an Angel help
06:16:42 ER: maybe make a large boulder of steel, give it Technology mana, then Life mana
06:18:07 ER: or spend 7 on shift matter to just tinker the molecules together in the right way
06:21:33 ER: hell, life may well start popping up without direct intervention, with mana floating around and long periods of tie passing
06:28:19 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK T-MOBILE!"]
06:28:58 ER: this would have been great to stay up into the night and make if I didn't have anything in the morning
