04:10:32 MidJag: I'm not drunk this time
04:11:54 MidJag: Not bad, had some homework to do, but got it finished without too much trouble.
04:12:25 MidJag: It's getting weirdly close to graduation.
04:12:30 MidJag: Like a bit more then an month
04:12:34 Devastator: I think you said that a couple weeks ago.
04:12:45 MidJag: It's getting ever closer and I'm not a fan.
04:13:26 Devastator: we going to ahve to hurry to finish furrycop?
04:14:11 MidJag: I'm hopefully not going to be crazy busy for now
04:15:08 Devastator: more asking about the potential availability of altered states..
04:15:26 MidJag: I'll still be in my college town for the next year.
04:16:08 MidJag: Yeah, so I'm graduating but also kinda not.
04:18:04 Devastator: right, I think you said you were going into a different program.
04:18:24 MidJag: Yeah, doing a masters....probably, my next year is going to be weird and complicated
04:18:58 MidJag: I might just end up staying here and doing reaserch for a bit and not doing a masters. It's all kinda weird.
04:22:06 MidJag: Yeah, next year is gonna be weird, but hopefully it'll turn out well
04:26:23 MidJag: Apperntly giant stuck ship is still stuck
04:27:49 MidJag: Which I know I shouldn't find funny since it's like a massive disruption to the worlds economy, but god damnit, something about the entire global economy getting crippled by a single goddamn giant ship is still just naturally funny.
04:30:52 Devastator: stuck ship is stuck.
04:33:24 MidJag: It's been quite the two years, really. I mean normally this would be like first page headlines for literally everything, and now it's still just kinda in the middle of all the covid stuff.
04:33:37 Devastator: There was a hugely important detatchment of forces permanetnly garrisoned all through WW II to guard the locks on the St. Lawrence seaway.
04:34:13 MidJag: Did I ever show you this article about the shit they set up to protect the Hoover damn during WWII?
04:34:40 MidJag: Appernetly it was providing power to one of Boeings biggest factories.
04:35:57 MidJag: Now all we need is for the panana canal to also get stuck and the entire world shipping goes back to 1800's navigation routes~
04:38:23 Devastator: for the record, the huge Boeing factory was in Seattle.
04:39:23 MidJag: Yeah, I don't think it was that one?
04:41:49 Devastator: western half of NA, and it had a huge boeing factory even then.
04:43:04 MidJag: I dunno, it's been years since I read the article so I really don't recall
04:43:17 Devastator: Had a big 2 hour game of alleg today.l
04:43:36 Devastator: almost won, were one missile away.
04:43:49 Devastator: also, comm had money for gamewinning tech, but didn't get it.
04:44:22 Devastator: no sig GA, which would have won us it.
04:44:34 Devastator: no heavy bbrs or better shields for them, which also would have won it.
04:45:08 Devastator: we had a shipyard for skycap 2 lxy bbr turrets, too! ;-p
04:45:39 Devastator: well, once comm eventually bought them, but was too late to matter.
04:45:48 Devastator: eh, imagine a bomber armed like a gunship.
04:45:55 Devastator: big ol capship turrets.
04:46:03 MidJag: Did you know the US actually made one of those?
04:46:07 Devastator: but without the awful damage class against enemy supremacy.
04:46:15 MidJag: Just super fortress just loaded with machine guns
04:47:35 Devastator: we had some heavy dogfighting sectors, but never quite got it all together. Were one missile short of killing the enemy sup, which would have completely collapsed them.
04:47:48 MidJag: Well that sucks, sorry to hear that
04:48:02 Devastator: also, their broken TF deployable mine turrets were no good against gunships, but made life tough for ints.
04:48:51 Devastator: what sucked was having a good way in to sneak bomb their replacement sup, after we eventually got their mian one, only to have an enemy carrier planted in that sector, and being stuck with 200% signature and unable to pass it.
04:48:58 Devastator: when 180% would have been enough to get by.
04:49:09 Devastator: and the comm didnt' buy either signature improvement GA.
04:50:33 Devastator: had we bought both of those, I would have been at 162% and would have been able to blow the enemy's second sup from 1.8k. Or if we had heavy bombers at that time which are actually slightly stealthier.
04:50:40 Devastator: or HTTs, which are -much- stealthier.
04:51:11 Devastator: or HTTs with both sig GAs, could have snuck past the carrier and captured the enemy base in a glorious victory.
04:52:41 Devastator: if only, if only, if only. Ahh.
04:52:49 Devastator: oh well, no sense in getting annoyed.
04:52:54 Devastator: next weekend is the anniversary, fwiw.
04:53:38 Devastator: and we had two hours of 28 people, which was enough for real games.
04:53:45 Devastator: not the usual small-team tactics.
04:54:04 Devastator: if that happens steadily, we might have to alter the core to make those games better.
04:54:32 Devastator: anyway, glad to hear you're doing ok.
04:54:46 Devastator: and I found that gun I was missing in Cata. I didn't bring it along with me because I didn't have any of that ammo.
04:54:46 MidJag: heh, belive me, I've had far worse nights drinking~
04:55:02 Devastator: I got 223 rounds from a crashed heli, though, so now I have it covered.
04:55:05 Devastator: an actual sniper rifle.
04:55:58 MidJag: Cata is such a strange game, it's like if you made a game by throwing in everything including the kitchen sink, and then you started going to other peoples houses and stealing everything and their sinks as well.
04:59:00 MidJag: A game after a DF players heart~
05:02:15 Devastator: have to get up earlish tomorrow.
05:02:26 Devastator: and want to get that show done sooner rather than later.
05:02:36 Devastator: Yeah, want to be around earlier than I usually am, by an hour, say.
05:02:57 MidJag: Alright, and define sooner?
05:04:44 MidJag: My Thursdays are pretty free, I could watch it then.
05:05:56 Devastator: if it's ok with
syv.
05:09:00 MidJag: Cool. I look forward to it.
05:22:36 Devastator: welp, apparently sewer snakes count as mutants.
05:22:53 Devastator: I guess if you cook it properly it is no longer a problem.
05:25:38 Devastator: also, finding a coconut means it gets to be dehydrated into pemmican.
05:27:50 Devastator: nope, there isn't enough of it to make a fruit pie.
05:28:05 MidJag: Can't you just mash it up into pemmican?
05:28:43 Devastator: yes, that can be done.
05:28:48 Devastator: but you can't make a fruit pie from coconut.
05:28:55 Devastator: you can make coconut into dehydrated fruit.
05:29:00 Devastator: and then make that into a fruit pie.
05:29:24 Devastator: hmm, I think I have one banana around somewhere..
05:34:10 Devastator: that's.. six. I could make kompot, it seems.
05:35:27 Devastator: some kinda fruit juice thingy.
05:35:33 Devastator: hmm, it seems I can stretch it out a bit.
05:35:49 Devastator: can make it into four units of coconut milk, and then dehydrate that into four units of dehydrated fruit.
05:36:02 Devastator: that gives me four units of juice pulp, which is enough for one more pemmican.
05:36:46 Devastator: (winter is pretty limited on the amount of fruit you have access to.)
05:53:01 MidJag: Well I should go to bed
07:15:06 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:19:35 Devastator:
MJ said something about Thursday, if that works for you.
07:19:52 syv: Thursday should work for me, yeah.
08:08:16 syv: CowCowTony made something amazing in the spiderman game. It's an automatic lava race, where a UFO flies you through the whole thing.
08:09:03 syv: I had almost precisely this idea before myself, but it was too time-consuming to do. CCT did a *much* better job, anyways.
08:11:43 Devastator: gonna take some time to get past that.
08:11:47 syv: That is the name he chose, yes.
08:12:08 syv: He's a Hong Konger, which... I don't know if that has any relevance to his name.
08:12:43 Devastator: ufo stays in place, map moves?
08:19:49 syv: He's been at the forefront of discovering new tricks and buggy mechanics, for basically the last three-four years?
08:20:12 syv: And he implements everything into his own custom racing maps that just look and feel totally unique for it.
08:20:49 syv: And he's so... *precise* about how he makes everthing. His maps are damn near flawless in implementation.
08:21:34 syv: Though, they're not actually so exceptional in gameplay. Some of them are, but most of them are a little jank.
08:25:14 Devastator: I found that sniper rifle.
08:25:46 Devastator: It was a M24 with bipol, sight, some kind of butt plate and something called 'improved mechanism'
08:26:35 syv: "Improved mechanism" is amusing.
08:27:03 syv: ...How do bipods work in Cata?
08:27:27 syv: Yep, still don't know what that would mean. You... don't really "tune" firearms.
08:28:38 Devastator: IIRC, you have to lie down before using it.
08:28:42 Devastator: or have to have something to put the gun on.
08:36:20 syv: ...Is there a "lie down" key, now?
08:39:21 Devastator: doesn't seem to be.
08:39:27 Devastator: well, I can bring a table or something.
08:39:41 Devastator: (want the sniper rifle to shoot turrets from out of range.)
08:40:14 syv: Aside from 50 BMG turrets not responding to 7.62 sniper fire.
08:54:52 Devastator: mmm, annoying it looks like I really wish I had the 7.62x51mm Nato rounds instead of the .308 winchester I have.
08:55:06 Devastator: as is, I'm accurate out to about 22 spaces for crits.
08:55:18 Devastator: probably about 30-ish for normal hits, which are good enough.
08:55:25 Devastator: otoh, I have 300 rounds, so I can just spend all day at it.
08:56:04 Devastator: 10%? Well, I'll get 30 hits, and that's more than enough. ;-p
08:58:52 Devastator: if I had the nato rounds, it's an extra two spaces.
08:58:59 Devastator: but I have all of two of those.
09:07:47 syv: Are there any 7.62 turrets?
09:08:05 Devastator: That's where I got the 300+ rounds of .308 winchester.
09:08:19 syv: ...Military turrets were using civ ammo?
09:08:56 Devastator: It was on a helicopter mount.
09:09:25 Devastator: I mean, I'd love to have 300 rounds of the military ammo..
09:09:32 Devastator: but maybe they wanted it harder to get.
09:12:26 Devastator: probably some more ammo in the outpost I'd like to get into.
09:15:52 Devastator: could also spend another 200 or so rounds through my .22 rifle for practice.
09:22:24 Devastator: yeah, but you get tired after like 25 of them.
09:23:26 syv: That seems totally unreasonable.
09:24:08 syv: I would have no trouble at all going through 200 22s in a day. Maybe if I were doing precision shooting at a decent range, and walking back and forth every few shots.
09:24:19 Devastator: well, not tired, but you stop learning as much.
09:25:22 syv: Well I guess that makes some sense. A small amount of anything teaches you relative to time invested by time than a ton all done at once.
09:26:16 Devastator: a bit of a shame, though, 200 would be lovely.
