04:50:55 Devastator: Annoying after having the work done.
04:51:07 Devastator: but eh, means I'll miss a few days shopping, or the cops will turn it up.
04:51:55 syv: Hrm. How does insurance work with a stolen vehicle?
04:51:57 Devastator: Not that cheap, but yes.
04:52:07 Devastator: Not sure! I'll be getting some money.
04:56:32 Devastator: Was planning on buying somethign new this year.
04:56:43 Devastator: maybe in a month or so.
04:56:54 Devastator: actually have enough money for something new for once.
04:59:44 syv: Anything you're thinking of?
05:01:29 Devastator: I'm not really a car guy.
05:01:38 Devastator: although I'd love it if I can get my hands on a standard shift.
05:02:28 syv: Heh. That doesn't surprise me. I broadly prefer standards as well.
05:02:46 Devastator: never would have been stolen if it was one.
05:02:52 syv: Though that's seemed to get more and more like a premium feature. :(
05:27:43 Devastator: talking with Empiricist about Extinction, atm.
05:27:52 Devastator: he doesn't know what trence is yet, and has an amazing theory.
05:28:10 Devastator: he thinks Trence is whatever type of undead you get when someone dies while petrified.
05:28:14 Devastator: and is then 'cured'
05:30:28 syv: I think that's kinda obviously wrong, Trence has no undead traits, but it's a creative idea.
05:35:33 Devastator: it is, three years of being alive has shown that.
05:38:33 Devastator: but it is a neat idea.
07:54:31 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:56:34 Devastator: so you like the nations in testgame?
07:57:17 MidJag: I get a vague feeling of like 80's-90's Russia in the first one which I like.
07:58:00 MidJag: 70's? Things seem to cheery for 70's Russia~
07:58:49 Devastator: Breznev didn't hang on as long.
07:59:29 Devastator: so imagine if he died and the next gen got started ten years earlier.
08:00:17 MidJag: Oh I watched a movie called the Death of Stalin recentlly, it's like a semi historical black comedy set in the immediate aftermath of Stalins death.
08:00:18 Devastator: before they ran out of steam or got horribly behind.
08:00:33 MidJag: It's hilarious honestlly
08:00:44 MidJag: It's incrediblly dark, but it's still funny as hell.
08:00:57 MidJag: Would be a good movie night I think.
08:01:05 Devastator: yeah, maybe next weekend?
08:01:23 MidJag: For once in my life I can make damn near anytime work.
08:01:59 MidJag: And is the second one 60's America or modern America?~
08:02:16 Devastator: the civil rights era didn't end right away.
08:02:56 MidJag: Rereading it 70's does make sense.
08:03:12 MidJag: I have no idea which south seas would be.
08:03:33 syv: Generic feudal fantasy setting.
08:03:35 Devastator: there's some changes. South Seas is something else.
08:03:40 Devastator: and it's not feudal, really.
08:03:58 Devastator: it's a bit of south america, a bit of taiwan, a bit of this and that.
08:04:26 Devastator: the last on is basically Sweden/Central Africa. ;-p
08:04:26 MidJag: And Berghan is like Israel Pakistan and India mushed togehter?
08:04:32 Devastator: or switzerland/central africa.
08:05:09 Devastator: I'm grinding a bit away on the second update atm.
08:05:18 Devastator: since there's only one post in extinction, going to let that simmer.
08:05:22 Devastator: will work on k-com this weekend.
08:06:53 Devastator: the bad thing is that you guys now have to pick what skills skillmonkey has.
08:07:05 Devastator: and you get a bunch because you went for max skillcount.
08:08:14 Devastator: pick five, one must have something to do with music.
08:09:57 MidJag: Don't make me turn this guy into a Russian Punck Rock star.
08:10:34 Devastator: to be honest, I'm not sure why I added that restriction.
08:10:41 Devastator: but it's been kicking around for a while.
08:10:46 Devastator: so I'm sticking with it.
08:13:05 syv: I downloaded a free "game" that purports to train you to be better at shooters, called "AimLab".
08:13:26 syv: I was hoping for a bunch of gun variety to shoot at things mindlessly in.
08:13:27 MidJag: So is it just a generic FPS?
08:14:02 syv: Nah, it's basically just got a bunch of minute-long training modes, and tracks how you do in each with a bunch of metrics. And reports how you change over time, and where you're weak.
08:14:21 syv: Very obvious beta, but seems pretty solid for its claims.
08:15:14 MidJag: And as for the dude, Guitar, driving, shooting, construction, explosives.
08:15:27 MidJag: I want Macgyver punk rocker.
08:15:31 syv: According to it, I actually *am* unusually accurate. Usually get within the top 25 percentile. But am also fairly meh at everything else, especially speed.
08:15:47 MidJag: I'm sure I'd be absolute shit.
08:17:33 MidJag: Is there a movment shooter version?
08:17:44 MidJag: Where you're moving and shooting?
08:18:09 syv: Most of it's just sitting in place and shooting, though.
08:18:50 MidJag: Hmm, I send this to my brother he's oddly competive about games and shooters and rocket league in particular.
08:19:48 Devastator: this one's pretty barren.
08:20:33 Devastator: I bet I'll do awful in everything except speed.
08:20:36 Devastator: particularly bad in aim.
08:21:07 MidJag: I'm sure I'll fail the attention capactity part.
08:21:14 syv: Isn't rocket league... cars?
08:21:15 Devastator: oh, did you get a chance to try out descent?
08:21:37 MidJag: And not yet, I have no idea how to install DOS box
08:23:13 Devastator: well it's not that hard. You just open it up and type some commands.
08:23:16 Devastator: can walk you through that.
08:23:27 MidJag: Tommorow night, need to go to bed soon.
08:25:12 MidJag: Disco Elysium strikes me as game I would either despise playing or love playing.
08:25:59 Devastator: not downloading right, hmm.
08:27:38 Devastator: you might like it, it's about a PC with deep mental issues.
08:28:22 MidJag: I keep meaning to get around to playing Night in the Woods, I feel like if I like that I'd like Disco.
08:31:03 syv: Ah yes, that's how to lower my accuracy and raise everything else.
08:31:10 syv: Use the full auto recoilless gun.
08:31:53 Devastator: lower accuracy, indeed.
08:34:27 syv: 100% accuracy, 100% headshots, 50% TTK.
08:41:30 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
08:42:11 MidJag: I shortlly will not be.
08:43:31 MidJag: Actually, I've always wondered this, how did you decide on your user name egan?
08:43:36 MidJag: ..I guess same quesiton
dev.
08:44:14 Devastator: It was the name I was using about six months before I signed up here.
08:44:28 syv: Why were you using that name?
08:44:41 ER: I was too young to be clever or consider if I didn't want to use my real name
08:45:23 Devastator: It was between two other names I used.
08:45:30 Devastator: no reason in particular.
08:46:03 MidJag: I see. mine was just it's my old XBOX live gamer tag, and at the time I thought Jaguars were really cool and thought the midnight was a good way to refrence an unsual variant of jaguars.
08:47:58 ER: I can't pick singing because it's has to be something we do with our hands
08:48:29 MidJag: Yeah, my brothers also had an animal themed name, my twins was like wolf something, and my little brothers was like bear something.
08:48:41 MidJag: ...which actually fits their personalities pretty well actually.
08:48:54 Devastator: I just did the hands for other things.
08:48:59 syv: The politician went with a bear...?
08:49:01 Devastator: but singing is totally okay if you want to go with that.
08:49:39 MidJag: I mean he's taller than I am.
08:50:04 MidJag: And is just loud when he wants to be.
08:51:54 MidJag: I guess I'm the exception to the theme, Jaguars are very stealthy, I'm not at all stealthy.
08:52:43 MidJag: Yes. My twin is very stealthy when he wants to be, but he's a bit shorter then I am.
08:53:11 Devastator: okay, got aimlab, lets see how bad it goes.
08:56:15 Devastator: 94 accuracy, 30 score 36 kill total, 37 targets, 35 ttk, 36 kills/second.
08:58:27 ER:
dev has the killer instinct
08:58:31 MidJag: Honestlly it's
Dev, I'll belive it.
09:00:24 MidJag: Alright, welp, I'm going to bed.
09:00:29 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
09:08:16 Devastator: okay, tutorial done.
09:08:39 syv: I have no clue how their scores are calculated, some definitely seem to be bull.
09:08:51 Devastator: 30% flicking, 44% tracking, 41% speed, 37% precision, 49% preception, and 38% cognition.
09:09:07 Devastator: but it did accurately gauge me as a shit FPS player.
09:09:54 syv: 35/38/33/42/75/45 for me. Though that hasn't changed since I finished the tutorial, so prolly just about meaningless.
09:11:22 Devastator: Heh, almost worse across the board than me.
09:12:22 syv: You're much better at tracking and speed.
09:12:38 Devastator: however much 6 and 9 % mean.
09:12:42 Devastator: and you have four categories.
09:13:03 syv: Though the former I could've easily said, I pretty much always play shooters doing flick and catch shots, not tracking shots.
09:13:49 syv: I have no idea what the 75% perception is supposed to mean. Same for cognition. Those don't really seem like things this game would really test.
09:15:25 ER: hey, wanna watch something?
09:17:03 Devastator: probably not right now, though.
09:19:47 ER: now what will i do? read one of the thing
sy sent me? :thinking:
10:02:34 Devastator: okay, poverty seemingly appeals.
10:03:12 ER: I would like to be a smooth gangsta please
10:19:02 ER: "because, as has grown increasingly clear about the nature of the universe, everything is actually always very stupid."
10:34:31 Devastator: man, one of the big reasons for a test game is I'd love to see your takes on a possible character.
10:34:34 Devastator: these skill lists are good.
10:34:47 Devastator: I'll have to add more skills to non-skill choices for the real game, just for the creativity.
10:39:20 ER: I did pick All Was As One because it sounded the most like omniscience / sixth sense. looks like it's linked to adaptability, which is interesting
10:39:45 ER: guess we'll have a high animation speed, huh?
10:40:20 Devastator: It expands the number of skills you can learn rather dramatically.
10:40:22 syv: Have you even played DaS 2?
10:40:41 ER: DS2 was my first from game!
10:41:01 Devastator: if you want to move fast, should have chosen speed.
10:41:45 syv: It's depressing that some of the best ideas for Dark Souls were in 2.
10:42:00 syv: But because so much of the game was done badly, they dropped it all.
10:42:00 ER: in dark souls land, your agility is based on your endurance and whatever adaptatation is supposed to mean
10:42:20 Devastator: but yeah, I'll probably make the base two skills because of this.
10:42:38 ER: yes
sy, when we make our soulslike, we'll make sure to use some DS2 ideas ;p
10:42:50 syv: Our soulslike battle royale?
10:43:33 ER: which is totally something we're capable of making
10:44:20 ER: and also attracting a large enough playerbase that it's playable as intended, hmm
10:45:53 syv: "Soulslike Battle Royale: The Visual Novel"
10:46:04 syv: That's something we're capable of making. :P
10:46:29 ER: the last bit sort of invalidates the first two parts
10:46:46 ER: unless we're actually making a MUD
10:47:27 syv: If by "sort of" you mean "completely and totally", yes.
10:49:09 ER: "battle royale" is a videogame genre now with certain gameplay expectations, but those games were based off of noninteractive stories about tossing a bunch of people into an arena and letting em sort it out
10:49:34 ER: and soulslike could possibly refer to a certain style of storytelling and worldbuilding
10:58:11 ER: which is to say that we should make a visual novel that's a ripoff of the hunger games except with enviromental storytelling and item descriptions and everybody laughs at you before dying in the end
11:01:03 syv: Something may be wrong with me, my brain is saying that's a good idea.
11:02:30 syv: Visual novel where all the other characters are in an arena and have to kill each other, you bounce around and help/hinder them, having to figure out a way to keep your favorite alive.
11:02:38 syv: If you really fuck up someone murders you.
11:02:44 syv: Or if you even kinda fuck up.
11:02:52 syv: With a nice big YOU DIED on screen.
11:08:21 ER: hope I'm not being *too* mean to "Knightwing"
11:09:14 ER: since I don't care for lying, my options were "ghost" or "criticize" :v
11:31:53 syv: Did Knightwing post his char somewhere?
11:33:38 ER: 1: too edgy. 2: game is about revenants, not vampires. 3: 8600 years is too long, and doesn't make sense with the given backstory either
11:34:25 syv: 4: Ridiculously unbalanced powergaming attempt. 5: Uninteresting character with no good story to tell.
11:34:46 ER: I very much doubt that person could survive 7800 years ;p
11:35:54 ER: mm, didn't even really notice the powergaming aspect
11:36:58 ER: if I did let him in for some unknowable reason, he would inevitably still be weaker than my NPC villain ;p
12:14:17 syv: I have to take security training every year about defending against foreign espionage. Which is very idiotic, not least because every part of my job exists *only because* it uses an international standard known to every country.
12:14:50 syv: They like to talk about how rival countries want to steal US economic technology and information to modernize their own economies.
12:15:02 syv: I have a hard time believing that's actually a bad thing.
