02:43:46 MidJag: sweet. What kinda big dog?
02:44:21 ER: I think she's a bulldog? very sweet
02:47:32 MidJag: I backed another kickstarter
02:48:37 MidJag: It gave me so many ideas for MP I couldn't resist.
02:54:39 MidJag: I'm leading a lab meeting tommorow.
02:55:46 MidJag: Kinda scary, but it's kinda cool.

03:17:44 MidJag: I have a lab meeting tommorow
03:18:30 ER: I have an idea to GM a scenario of
syv's recent gunfighting system with some extra ideas bolted on
03:19:19 syv: It would need to be fixed up more.
03:20:18 syv: Yeah, but has some flaws and exploits.
03:20:34 syv: "Not too bad" isn't "good"
03:21:22 ER: "not good" doesn't mean "not fun" either
03:26:28 syv: But I also have easy improvements to make on it :v
03:26:35 syv: And improving games is fun
03:27:12 syv: Possibly also an autistic need of mine, considering my powerful desire to fix the Zelda game.
03:27:29 ER: I think you can let that one be broken
03:27:53 ER: ...it's not like it's mostly not-broken or built on a particularly strong foundation
03:28:02 ER: it would be better to make something new
03:29:35 syv: I'm pretty sure I'd add leveling and a tagged skill system.
03:30:42 ER: I was gonna add radios, binoculars, mechs, probably some sci-fi weapons, and mission-specific stuff
03:31:49 ER: third party built a superweapon, they're only lightly equipped but have anti-air defenses, CATFOR and WOLFOR both want to take it
03:32:07 syv: Story/continuity, or still just a vs deathmatch game?
03:32:22 ER: just one mission with a little bit of story
03:33:14 ER: deploy anywhere by dropship, but any unit in range of the SAM has 20% to die on drop and is revealed to the enemy
03:33:19 syv: So catgirls and wolfgirls.
03:33:48 syv: The return of private Woofenstein, I guess.
03:34:27 ER: also if you use explosives on the superweapon its power source will lose containment and everybody dies
03:37:49 ER: the idea I had for radios might not be great but I do want to try it
03:38:31 ER: if a commander uses their whole action to do so, grunt can act as a commander for that turn
03:38:53 syv: Can the dummy act on its own without commanding anyone?
03:39:23 ER: they can do anything a com can
03:40:08 syv: Can the dummy act on its own, but not commanding anyone, without a commander spending their turn?
03:40:25 ER: binoculars are used instead of a weapon if equipped, and give vision of the targetted tile and reveal any units there
03:41:07 ER: yeah, radioman acts as a grunt unless a commander gives them their turn
03:41:32 syv: I'd make radios 1 weight, too. One weight is a pretty significant amount really.
03:41:47 syv: And you have to lose a commander elsewhere.
03:42:33 syv: How would mechs work? Different vehicles?
03:42:42 ER: also for this scenario any units you don't deploy immediately are held in reserve and a commander can use their turn to deploy them
03:43:45 ER: mechs are vehicles which only hold one pilot who can both drive and shoot, they can binefit from concealment but not cover and move through infantry-only terrain
03:45:52 syv: ...Mechs sound like they should replace power armor.
03:46:06 syv: I guess they're a step above power armor.
03:48:16 Devastator: gonna start downloading the show,
syv.
03:48:49 syv: I think I only have the first ep so far.
03:49:24 ER: Light: [all-terrain] [low profile] (benefits from terrain concealment) Heavy: [all-terrain] [hardened] (armor can reduce damage to 0]
03:52:11 ER: the ETA just keep going down :o
03:52:22 syv: I'd expect heavy to just have more armor and HP.
03:52:25 ER: okay, seems around 10 minutes?
03:52:42 syv: Otherwise I'd prolly give all vehicles [hardened].
03:53:22 syv: Mostly, 1 damage is minimum so you can chip, and dummies with lighter weapons aren't _totally_ useless.
03:53:41 syv: More complexity isn't a positive.
03:53:57 syv: And the difference between 0 and 1 damage on a vehicle is largely academic.
03:54:59 syv: I was gonna add more grenade types. Smoke and incendiaries.
03:55:06 syv: I should add a flamethrower weapon.
03:58:04 syv: Weaker than explosives, but removes cover bonus, makes it vehicle-impassible, and deals guaranteed damage on entry/starting.
03:58:26 syv: Incendiary explosives are lighter, and longer ranged with a launcher, flamethrower has infinite ammo.
03:59:35 syv: Really though, suppression needs to be fixed.
04:00:05 syv: I ran through the math, it's just flat better as an offensive choice.
04:01:08 syv: And your insanely good net
04:01:42 Devastator: I live in the boonies and have okay net now. ;-p
04:37:07 syv: I still haven't done the update
04:40:55 syv: Mittsies' last two songs are for it.
04:41:09 syv: I haven't listened to either 'cause I wanna listen in game first.
04:41:21 syv: Since all the rest of his music I listened to before the game.
04:41:49 ER: I didn't know they existed because it's on twitter, but they're good :v
04:42:49 MidJag: I didn't know there are helltaker comics
04:43:14 MidJag: For some reason I jut expect helltaker comics to just be straight porn.
04:43:44 ER: as far as I know vanripper doesn't make porn
04:44:38 MidJag: And he works with missties?~
04:53:51 Devastator: Not everyone who draws cute girls draws porn,
MJ. ;-p
04:53:57 Devastator: although there's plenty of overlap.
04:54:07 syv: I've seen some of the comics.
04:54:18 syv: Mittsies is a pornographer.
04:54:28 syv: Known pretty much only _for_ his porn, before Helltaker.
04:54:50 syv: And Vanripper knew exactly what it was for and joked about it with him on Twitter.
04:56:56 Devastator: so it's one and one.
05:14:11 syv: I didn't sleep much yesterday
05:14:43 Devastator: watch show tomorrow?
05:14:49 Devastator: jaggers? You ok tomorrow?
05:15:28 MidJag: Depending on how this meeting goes I might be pretty fucking drunk
05:15:39 ER: I don't think
MJ was watching rezero with us so he might be a little bit lost :p
05:16:09 syv: Yeah, and I KEEP bugging him to watch it.
05:16:35 Devastator: I mean, all he needs to know is best girl is best.
05:16:37 ER: your mistake was asking
MJ to do something which takes time
05:17:00 Devastator: and main dude is a passive version of Homura.
05:17:38 MidJag: Tell you what, I'll just invent immortality, and then watch Re zero. Simple solution.
05:17:41 ER: about equally passive, really
05:17:59 ER: just fucks up more often due to being less of a stone cold badass
05:19:19 Devastator: Passive isn't the word to use for Homura.
05:19:34 Devastator: I mean, her literal wish was 'make me the strong one.' ;-p
05:33:26 Devastator: okay, so a solid maybe for tomorrow.
05:33:35 Devastator: and remember, being drunk isn't a disqualifier.
05:34:03 ER: specially if you don't know the plot
05:34:09 syv: Though prolly gonna sleep, like, nowish
05:36:23 Devastator: Guess what they called that guy?\
05:42:38 MidJag: hmm, I should go to bed
05:45:54 Devastator: Maybe I should run a game called "Viking"
05:46:14 Devastator: in it, you play viking raiders. Your job is to get your boat to a shore, get treasure, and leave.
05:47:39 Devastator: It's like barbarians, really.
05:48:11 ER: murder some defenseless monks and take everything
05:49:34 Devastator: although barbarians would have more magic.
05:53:27 Devastator: I could just run more barbarians, except put you on a boat.
05:55:59 Devastator: Ahh, Sancho I, the only person in history too fat to be a king.
