00:01:03 Devastator: that sounds amusing.
00:02:16 ER: nah, it automatically fires.
00:02:23 ER: are like a minute and a half :P
00:09:22 ER: hmm, is it perhaps futile to find a shade of grey which looks *nearly* identical to black text on default theme while being readable on darkling?
00:09:35 ER: welp, let's try a little ligher
00:10:30 ER: well, I nudged it up from 303030 to 404040, which happens to be the exact background color on darkling
00:12:42 ER: guess I'll go with 303030. Not remotely readable on darkling, but it gets the right effect
00:13:11 Devastator: updooted extinction.
00:15:40 ER: let's see, what would a beaver be weak to?
00:15:57 ER: .....electricity, because water type, if we're going pokemon
00:16:13 ER: not sure if I want to use that yet tho
00:17:16 Devastator: you think maximum damage is a plan.
00:17:50 ER: let's attempt tactics, even though it probably won't work :P
00:18:04 Devastator: it's not that stronk.
01:16:04 Devastator: Ryukahr playing a new battletoads-style game.
01:16:09 Devastator: it seems pretty faithful.

Piecewise, I STRONGLY desire Call to Earth to be about a virgin hole.
02:14:42 syv: I want to have to discover how stuff works on our own, and build our own paths down and everything.
02:15:23 Devastator: It's amusing having Trence responding to the voices in his head.
02:15:27 syv: If you want there to be existent tech and infrastructure (which would be of benefit, I admit), then IMO it should be from a failed society/expedition which is no longer around and which can't share knowledge or assist in real ways.
02:15:41 syv: No premade paths, no monster manuals.
02:15:43 Devastator: Didn't you do that with the dark mission?
02:16:08 syv: The one behind the refridgerator?
02:16:35 Devastator: yeah, I think that was it.
02:16:56 syv: Yeah, I'd rather we explore on our own without an existing setup like that.
02:17:54 syv: It'd also be nice to have some NPC resources. Maybe not people who can assist directly on expeditions, but people we can teach safe ways to navigate the upper layers, and who can do menial work like improving paths or stuff.
02:18:21 Devastator: "I'm your build-bot. I can build anything, so long as it is done with these three girders."
02:18:32 syv: So we could still do something like building a series of markers along a specific path, which makes it easier to follow or safer, but without having to personally spend a bunch of actions pounding pitons.
02:19:53 syv: Maybe have background NPCs who are basically permanently a few ranks of experience behind the players. When we get to the equivalent of black whistle level, they're still the equivalent of blues, say.
02:20:32 syv: Also, funny this came up. I watched the first half of Made in Abyss again, today.
02:20:37 syv: Literally just got done with that.
02:21:45 Devastator: mmm, river problem in xkcd.
02:28:49 Devastator: yes, I knew it'd been covered before, and explain xkcd had the link.
02:30:04 syv: I clicked on it and was confused for a few seconds, because I'd read the same comic a couple days ago, but it was a very old one.
02:30:16 syv: Then I remembered that I'd read it because they linked to it.
02:31:55 er: I hope that I pulled off what I wanted to do
02:31:58 syv: I saw Dubs was asking about CoE, so I hopped on here to comment.
02:32:19 Piecewise: Oh no,
sy wants virgin hole and
ER prefers it used.
02:32:35 Piecewise: infinite contradiction
02:33:18 er: If
syv wants it that way I will have to acquiesce to his superior wisdom~
02:35:04 syv: I mean, this seems like an easy problem.
02:35:17 syv: Then it's used,
ER can be happy.
02:55:58 Devastator: need a cat picture for that.
02:56:15 syv: Does it count if there's two cats?
03:00:01 er: Well? Did you read it,
syv?: D
03:03:02 syv: And started arguing with a kid about torrents and adblockers.
03:04:14 er: The soup part of that I'm fine with
03:04:39 syv: He said he'd watch PM3, which always gets my attention.
03:04:48 syv: Naturally it moved to *obtaining* PM3.

03:07:02 ER: "here's a very legit folder with all the files you need, don't question it"
03:11:33 syv: Didn't give it to him, he should already have the link.
03:11:43 syv: Only has the movies, anyway. I like the anime better.
03:12:29 syv: The anime has the OP which doesn't really change as the show goes from :D to D:
03:12:43 syv: I felt like losing that was notable.
03:13:10 syv: It also shuffles a couple scenes around and adds a few little things, like the rooftop fence someone getting even MORE elaborate.
03:13:11 ER: here, have a series of images which will not remotely prepare you
03:13:15 syv: But mostly they're identical.
03:13:53 Devastator: It has some D: in the OP.
03:14:04 Devastator: Madoka crying and Kyubei walking away..
03:16:55 syv: It is far short of accurate.
03:17:38 Devastator: Yes, intentionally so.
03:17:52 Devastator: but looking at that I can't help but wonder if someone was winking at the camera.
03:19:02 syv: Someone is winking at the camera throughout the entire first half of the show.
03:27:06 syv:
ER, is it intentional that the thingy has both a smiley face and a frowny face as components?
03:30:44 ER: I just put ------ into a zalgo generator, really
03:30:57 ER: that seems appropritate, though
03:31:38 ER: I see a tiny smile in there, does it show up different for you?
03:32:32 syv: Maybe? I see a :( in the upper left, and a :) in the lower left.
03:32:56 ER: it just looks like zalgo text to me
03:33:13 syv: I like the effect. It makes it actually look like an indescrible but complex concept with many meanings.
03:34:30 ER: I realized that I used a very similar back and forth mental dialogue at the end of tachell, with kit
03:35:01 ER: between bird-scribe and the residual memories in the shotgun
03:35:22 ER: I guess that's how I handle mental incursion
03:35:56 ER: though what I like about this situation is that it's a little ambiguous whose mind is intruding on whose
03:38:45 syv: I completely missed that there were two minds speaking simultaneously.
03:39:16 ER: I guess you didn't notice the text color, then?
03:39:33 ER: half of it is very dark grey rather than black
03:41:40 syv: That is EXTREMELY fucking subtle
03:42:22 syv: I can literally only tell by zooming in until my phone only shows two lines.
03:42:56 ER: yeah, maybe should have turned it up a little
03:43:32 ER: it's hard to tell how easy it is to notice because *I* know it's there
03:55:46 ER: not sure if necessary but ping

04:57:14 syv: How does it fit inside one rat, then?
04:57:28 syv: Is the zalgo thingy an antenna?
04:58:34 ER: well, a rat-shaped thing which is made out of one adult rat and several baby rats

05:11:57 syv: A post, from me, has been put up.
05:15:45 syv:
syv is basically
ER but insufferable and straight.
05:21:04 ER: dialogue is a lot easier this way
05:21:49 Devastator: Chunk is a big chonk?
05:22:20 syv: He also has working, usable thumbs.
05:22:29 syv: Which genuinely seem to benefit him.
05:22:34 Devastator: so the cat will rule the world, then?
05:23:02 syv: He is content just wrestling with his siblings and laying down on top of them.
05:23:35 syv: Perhaps he believes he already rules the world, as he already lays atop it.
05:24:05 Devastator: That might be common among all cats.
05:24:36 syv: Not all. I am fairly certain Kevin does not believe he rules the world; he's far too afraid of it.
05:25:55 Devastator: Kevin is the one that's incomprehensably fluffy, right?
05:31:02 syv: Big black eyes that are near constantly circular because he's eternally worried.
05:31:17 Devastator: lotta fluff to defend.
05:31:17 syv: If any cat I've owned has had an anxiety disorder, it's him.
05:31:39 syv: Oh, no. He's like a squid, he expels clouds of fluff as a distraction to help him escape.
05:32:24 syv: It feels like he is CONSTANTLY shedding. If you hold him for any length of time, you will gain a layer of bright white fur.
05:33:46 syv: I love that scene in Denature.
05:34:18 syv: Just a rat, staring down a screaming man while bloody tentacles slowly haul it towards the ceiling, while screaming back at him in his own voice.
05:34:28 syv: Mockingly repeating after him.
05:36:22 syv: "AAAHHHH WHAT THE FUCK?!" "aaahhhh what the fuck?!" "WHAT ARE YOU?!" "what are you?!"

06:01:54 ER: maybe. you should observe for more data
06:02:18 syv: If it's sex I'm going to scream the words of the other humans at them.

06:04:59 syv: Maybe all along the secret to having a good game about a fleshorror has been about making it into comedy.
06:06:06 ER: ...I did start today with horror, though
06:07:13 syv: And now we've arrived at a rat screaming gibberish at a entwined couple from the air vent.
06:18:07 ER: lesson learned. to make a game more interesting, just add sex
06:18:42 syv: Well, if I'm your player, yes.
06:18:58 syv: I suspect that reversing the roles, that is the opposite of true.
06:20:12 ER: discomfort can be a perfectly effective storytelling compnent
06:21:06 syv: who does sophia wanna fuck
06:21:44 ER: I mean, we know where the shipping chart points there
06:21:55 ER: probably not thinking about it right now tho
06:22:10 syv: Well, they're both pretty wet
06:22:56 syv: I should probably go to sleep soon, this is the wrong peergroup for dirty puns.
06:23:10 syv: Though perhaps it's wrong for all my peergroups.
06:23:44 ER: getting an assist on aiming seems easiest if we hold hands, anyways
06:24:05 syv: And I will be tempted to write about someone blushing.
06:26:33 ER: listen, we're cool as cucumbers
06:26:51 ER: not gonna lose our head over a little contact
06:27:39 syv: Sophia probably dgaf, yeah.
06:28:08 syv: But Ada I could see being all "What?!" Ò////Ó
06:28:10 Devastator: Wouldn't she be really scared at it, actually, not having any normal human contact?
06:28:53 syv: She lived with other slaves, in seemingly not always restrained conditions.
06:29:19 ER: she did have a family, you know
06:29:50 syv: Though a family for people born into slavery... uh...
06:31:20 syv: Damn it this is gonna be another [You Died] isn't it?
06:33:11 syv: But yeah, Sophia isn't actually someone who hates and is terrified of people in general. I've given her a bit of general paranoia and dislike for men, when I've described her reactions, but she's been pretty fine with Ada.
06:33:31 syv: You killed me on like the first or second roll of one of these.
06:33:37 syv: I wouldn't put it past you.
06:34:22 syv: Where a typical person would probably have a host of anxiety disorders, Sophia mostly has A N G E R
06:35:03 syv: Oh, yeah, I'd also been implying she has a bit of agoraphobia. Forgot about that. Should've mentioned something when she was wandering around outside.
06:35:16 ER: simply transmute every emotion into COOL MANLY ANGER
06:35:40 syv: I know Sophia's wearing a dress, but is Ada wearing pants?
06:37:17 Devastator: says form-fitting athletic clothes.
06:37:20 Devastator: so pants or shorts.
06:37:59 syv: So then, for all Sophia's anger, Ada wears the pants in the relationship.
06:38:48 ER: for all my rage, I'm still just a... sophia in a dress
06:39:31 Devastator: alida is totally going to not get along with her.
06:39:44 syv: Tell
Paris to send actions faster.
06:44:27 syv: These people seem to have a problematic level of preparation for dealing with a fleshorror.
06:44:45 ER: (I thought about what response I would pull on short notice if I knew there was a small fleshhorror loose in the vents and I went with
ER FOAM NADES! :D
06:45:12 ER: what? it's a mad science biolab, of course they're gonna have foam nades
06:45:43 ER: if they really knew what they were dealing with, they're probably be screaming a lot more and running for the nuke button

16:15:18 Elasticly_Rigid: Okay, so
Piecewise
16:16:04 Elasticly_Rigid: The idea is that the players are a small group of explorers who discover Hole
16:16:37 Elasticly_Rigid: So no preexisting scavenging society, at least not currently
16:17:14 Elasticly_Rigid: But the players are saddled with for one reason or another a village worth of orphaned children
16:17:56 Elasticly_Rigid: Which for one presents a kind of character- building choice of how you treat your minions
16:19:06 Elasticly_Rigid: As charges to be protected and nurtured, or apprentices to be trained, or test subjects to tank the consequences of discovery for you
16:19:59 Elasticly_Rigid: And as another thing, it shows the passage of time as they get older and potentially more competent
16:21:44 Elasticly_Rigid: I'd also request that we have the ability to come up with our own equipment and technology. Less like tinker and more like mook, I think, where we can present ideas and they either come true or not depending on if you like them
16:22:27 Elasticly_Rigid: Perhaps you could give a few different options for what to research next per time unit, and we could vote
