01:19:21 Devastator: rain would be really, really nice.
02:27:25 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:29:11 ER: do you have that show downloaded
02:29:25 syv: I have two episodes of angel beats
02:29:40 syv: Though I am very tired. Bleh.
02:37:11 ER: too many subtitle options D:
02:37:59 ER: angel, since I'm not interested in cells
02:38:37 ER: the cells in somebody's body was a premise good enough for one movie, and I've already seen osmosis jones~
02:39:14 Devastator: I've never actually seen osmosis jones.
02:39:30 syv: I only saw the spinoff cartoon
02:39:41 Devastator: no, thinking about it, I"ve seen about half of it.
02:39:49 Devastator: in variout brief clips.
02:40:56 ER: I don't remember what this was supposed to be about
02:41:08 Devastator: people fighting to kill god or osmething.
02:41:37 Devastator: These characters do seem pretty plain.
02:41:39 syv: Aleight I;m okay with this
02:42:30 Devastator: okay, we have the devil.
02:42:44 ER: more importantly, will it waste any of our time
02:44:09 Devastator: 'look, we're fighting against destiny. You need to accept things as they are.'
02:46:57 Devastator: that would be a fun twist.
02:47:41 ER: healing every tie you die, but your clothes are still bloodied
02:48:29 Devastator: Yeah, I mean.. why not not fight?
02:49:03 syv: I'd say they're conflict-fuelled teenagers
02:49:12 syv: But giving up and being lazy is also a teenager thing
02:49:57 Devastator: 'you got guts, what are you, immortal?'
02:50:27 ER: come on, being a barnacle wouldn't be bad
02:51:08 Devastator: self-selection for these idiots would explain why they're so dumb.
02:51:23 Devastator: ie, anyone with brains leaves this place.
02:52:05 Devastator: he didn't resist and is still here.
02:52:31 Devastator: ..and yeah, 'accept things' and 'defy the natural law' is annoying me.
02:54:31 syv: "A couple dozen people hiding"
02:54:44 syv: "we can have new characters who appear and disappear with no explanation"
02:55:05 Devastator: yeah, this seems extremely generic so far.
02:55:28 ER: are you trying to haze me into accepting cells with this one
02:57:29 Devastator: like you did me, too.
02:59:54 ER: was this one based on some dumb game too
03:00:13 syv: Seems too generic for that
03:00:25 Devastator: yeah, this isn't waifu collection.
03:00:50 syv: Right before four different girls are
03:01:10 Devastator: who all look.. rather generic for that sort of thing.
03:01:19 ER: oh, fighting the authority of god with rock and roll
03:02:41 ER: I guess it's nonstandard that they're just fighting like, one person
03:02:55 Devastator: Yeah, but it's just..
03:03:22 Devastator: a lot of fiction lately has seemed to be 'the protags beat up on someone who is incapable of winning.'
03:03:41 Piecewise has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:03:49 Devastator: yeah, but you know my definition of 'lately.'
03:04:06 Devastator: we're watching angel beats.
03:04:12 Devastator: I'm not sold on it, really.
03:04:12 Piecewise: Windows very kindly killed hexchat again
03:04:28 Piecewise: Angel beats...wait no I'm thinking something else
03:05:13 Piecewise: Is Angel beats a good anime?
03:05:13 Piecewise: To answer the question posed in the title of this post: Yes, Angel Beats is a very good show, and it is definitely worth your time.
03:05:15 syv: Purgatory students shoot girl what has hand sword
03:05:25 Piecewise: Well, google says its good
03:05:28 Devastator: It seems pretty awful, at least for the first episode.
03:05:37 Devastator: although protag guy is actually thinking a bit.
03:06:05 Piecewise: Why not watch alien 9?
03:06:28 Devastator: and one ep isn't enough for me to say 'no, not gonna watch it.' ;-p
03:06:35 syv: Alien 9 is the head alien roller skate magical girl show?
03:06:45 Devastator: with all the death, right?
03:07:45 Piecewise: COngrats on inheriting the Xan dice
sy
03:08:06 ER: that was just hard to pay attention to
03:09:59 syv: I didn't pay attention to what guns they were holdings
03:11:10 ER: no bad anime allowed, only good
03:11:14 Devastator: eh, still think one isn't enough to judge, but yeah, I'm not in a hurry.
03:11:53 Devastator: Lots to complain about from the point of view of one who does everything wrong. ;-p
03:12:06 Devastator: so how are you
Piecewise?
03:12:48 Devastator: It also hit 40 degrees here.
03:13:35 Piecewise: Geez, convert that to United States measurements and thats...98 gallons...I think
03:14:01 Piecewise: It was about 100 here today
03:14:02 Devastator: add in nobody having air conditioning.
03:14:12 Piecewise: Thats just poor planning
03:14:58 Devastator: nah, it's the all-time record.
03:15:07 Devastator: normal max temp is about 32-33 degrees.
03:15:28 Piecewise: I still don't know what that equates to. What is normal human body temp in c?
03:15:45 ER: global warming, you should buy and AC if you live in antarctica
03:16:58 Piecewise: Don't worry. The current mission in Mook is actually a secret test
03:17:14 Piecewise: Seeing how to handle hex stuff.
03:17:25 ER: bird never, only abstract art now
03:17:50 Devastator: too
ER! Go way! ;-p
03:19:10 ER: hey
Piecewise have you played katana zero
03:20:12 Piecewise: Side scroller with slow time and "rewinding" if you die?
03:20:37 ER: I thought it was something special
03:21:07 Piecewise: Never beat it, but played it. Didn't hook me like Gunpoint or...god what is that other one
03:21:47 ER: I can't name one single game in between K0 and gunpoint, lol
03:22:06 Piecewise: Girl avenging her family?
03:22:32 ER: girl in a motorcycle helmet with a sword
03:22:42 ER: climbing around on walls and jumpkicking people
03:22:58 ER: but less story than katana zero
03:23:31 ER: and yeah it is similar except for how it's totally different
03:23:33 Piecewise: KZ seems to be doing the hotline Miami thing
03:24:02 Piecewise: Yeah its different gameplay wise, just the closest analog I could think of
03:24:19 ER: it's hotline miami except it actually justifies why you run into a room and see red over and over until you go insane as a story thing
03:24:52 Devastator: I thought hotline miami was justified by rooster.
03:25:13 Piecewise: Hotline is justified by being fun
03:25:20 Piecewise: and having a cool soundtrack
03:25:42 Devastator: and rooster mask knows everything.
03:26:36 ER: and HM1 is kinda just some weird shit happening without much explaination
03:27:29 ER: well, I guess there were the odd janitor dudes at the end of bikerman's dlc
03:28:46 ER: which HM2... retconned? gave an entirely parallel explaination?
03:28:46 Piecewise: TO me HM1 is the story of the main guy, the actual motivations and stuff around it aren't as important
03:31:08 Piecewise: Furi is another good one in this general vein
03:31:39 ER: kill her, and you'll be free
03:36:36 ER: I love listening to VG music which I first heard attached to a memorable moment, too :v
03:37:01 ER: like half the enjoyment here is just listening to the ost with the binefit of having played the game first
03:39:51 Piecewise: but what about the evergrace ost?
03:39:57 Piecewise: thats good even without having played it
03:41:44 ER: won't listen, music spoilers~
03:43:33 ER: no actually I'm messaging from a series of mechanical switches operating a simple radio antenna
03:43:54 Devastator: you can do irc over radio.
03:44:37 ER: I message on the forums by irc-messaging a go-between
03:45:02 Devastator: gah, that was so long alo.
03:45:47 Piecewise:
Er is hissing into a phone to match dialup handshake
03:46:07 Devastator: I'm sure someone has done that.
03:46:30 Devastator: but no, I'm trying to think of the first time I ever was on IRC.
03:46:47 Devastator: It was on some insane connection method.
03:47:32 Devastator: and the guy was a ham radio operator with a radiophone, so..
04:10:58 Devastator: something weird was going on.
04:19:36 Piecewise: I'm heading to bed. More sick people to take care of tomorrow
04:19:51 Piecewise: Almost like we have an endless supply or something
04:47:04 Devastator: oh, also, the kestrel nest at my work has four chicks this year.
04:47:24 Devastator: amusing to see them all sticking their heads out of a hole in the wall.
04:49:41 Devastator: it's quite the maneuver to feed them, given there's nothing for the adults to perch on at the nest.
04:49:56 Devastator: they have to fly up, flutter to a halt, touch the wall, hand off the food, and fly away immediately.
04:50:44 ER: only hummingbirds can actually hover, right?
04:51:47 ER: rolled a 3 on 2d6 to learn spooky secrets of magic
04:52:44 Devastator: yeah, only hummingbirds can actually hover.
04:55:42 Devastator: which game is that?
04:56:19 ER: the discord one, where I made a muggle and got handed magic
04:59:04 ER: a supernatural attacked the facility and I had to go fight her as a security guard, because all the other supernatruals either failed to help or fucked around and fought one another
04:59:46 ER: got knocked down into a hole, and blindly threw a grenade upwards
05:00:03 ER: ...with some help from an NPC supernatural
05:55:11 Midjag has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:05:04 Devastator: apparently a wild jaguar has appeared.
06:05:23 Midjag: Not bad, just been writing a lot of secondaries
06:05:48 Midjag: I'm making progress, it's just a pain in the ass.
06:06:26 Devastator: any chance for show?
06:07:55 Midjag: Global warmings a myth right? ~
06:08:14 Devastator: was pretty obvious up here when these tiny beetles killed all the trees.
06:08:29 Devastator: apparently their normal control mechanism was 'they die when it gets really, really cold.'
06:10:22 Midjag: Yes I could see that being a problem
06:10:29 Devastator: yeah, so.. about twenty years ago 90% of the pine trees in BC died.
06:11:18 Devastator: yeah. It wasn't -that- bad, though, because pine trees are kinda supposed to do that when they all catch fire, so it wasn't out of nowhere, ecologically speaking.
06:11:34 Devastator: but it was more than a little.
06:12:45 Midjag: Also Jesus 47.9 C is hotter then it is here
06:14:20 Devastator: Do note that Lytton gets extremely hot like that sometimes.
06:14:27 Devastator: it hit 40 where I'm at.
06:14:42 Midjag: Huh, is it more southern or something?
06:15:11 Midjag: Damnit
dev, I live in the deep south, I can't be up shown by a damn canadian in how hot it is.
06:15:15 Devastator: Lytton's in the canyon.
06:15:32 Devastator: drier and hotter there.
06:15:42 Devastator: it's only a jump away from Yale and Osoyoos.
06:16:25 Midjag: I have no frame of refrence for where either of those places are
dev
06:16:53 Devastator: take an old arizona village, somewhere in the southwest.
06:16:57 Devastator: add some mountains.
06:17:27 Midjag: ....that sounds just...horrible.
06:17:36 Devastator: It's on the highway. Not too bad, but it gets hot.
06:17:44 Devastator: fairly popular retirement spot if you don't have enough money to live on the Island.
06:17:54 Midjag: Ah, winters aren't as bad?
06:18:13 Midjag: Why's it a popular retierment spot then?
06:18:42 Devastator: It's hot and dry, winters are quite mild, it's very cheap, and it's not -that- far from anywhere that matters.
06:19:17 Devastator: They usually get frost in the winter and the occasional week long cold snap of barely freezing weather.
06:19:28 Devastator: which is pretty mild for anywhere in BC, except Victoria.
06:19:34 Devastator: which is where retirees with money flood.
06:19:37 Midjag: heh, I like how that defines a mild winter in canada~
06:20:22 ER: sounds like here to be honest
06:20:25 Devastator: It's a slow community, really. Lots of old people.
06:20:47 Devastator: Not a bad place to live if you're retired.
06:21:04 Devastator: If you've got more money, you might live on the island or Victoria.
06:22:16 Devastator: if you're loaded, it'd be somewhere like Sechelt, BC.
06:22:37 Devastator: which is basically 'on the siland, connected to the mainland, and gets less rain.
06:22:45 Devastator: sea-shelt, when you say it.
06:22:49 Devastator: it's really, really nice.
06:22:53 Devastator: but it's also super-duper expensive.
06:23:20 Devastator: almost got a job there once fixing computers for years. The offer included something like five-digit moving expenses.
06:24:01 Midjag: That's......really somehting
06:24:11 Devastator: Yeah. It's small, very geographically limited.
06:24:28 Midjag: Is it one of those only accesible by boat things?
06:25:32 Devastator: It isn't, actually.
06:25:53 Devastator: It's at the very tip of the sunshine coast highway, as far as you can get by road.
06:26:15 Devastator: which makes it more appealing, really. It's like living on the end of Long Island, except the weather is excellent.
06:26:40 Midjag: That's actually pretty neat
06:26:49 Devastator: and you're well within daytrip distance to Vancouver, if you want to go to a show or something.
06:27:01 Devastator: It -really- is neat, but it's tiny and very exclusive.
06:27:35 Midjag: I'm not really suprised
06:28:30 Devastator: but yeah, if you want to compare climates, look at Campbell River, which is on the island, more or less directly across from it.
06:30:27 Devastator: yeah. put in clean air, a ton of natural beauty..
06:30:35 Devastator: makes it very obvious why it's a retirement haven.
06:31:12 Devastator: Osoyoos is in the desert.
06:31:13 Midjag: also weird thing I just learned, apperently there is no term limit on being vice president.
06:31:14 Devastator: the only one in Canada.
06:31:23 Midjag: I genuinely didn't know Canada had a desert?
06:31:56 Devastator: There are many, many mountains in BC.
06:32:05 Devastator: one particular valley doesn't get any rain.
06:32:14 ER: I mean, antarctica is a desert
06:33:45 Midjag: Learn something new every day
06:33:54 Devastator: it's not actually a desert by current classification.
06:34:32 Devastator: 'semi-arid shrubland'
06:35:11 Midjag: that sounds like a biologist had too much time when they wer naming a desert~
06:39:51 Devastator: since
syv isn't here.
06:40:04 Midjag: Are we not watching the car show?
06:40:21 Devastator: I'm fine with that, but I think we were watching that with the other two.
06:41:06 Devastator: car show I think was ep 6 or so.
06:41:15 Midjag: I'm not sure I have cells at work, but I don't think it will to take too long to DL
06:45:44 Midjag: You know what's funny, I've never actually been out to the desert.\
06:46:07 Devastator: Is there one where you're at?
06:46:26 Midjag: Nope, Alabama has zero desert
06:47:48 Devastator: <insert joke about cultural deserts>
06:48:29 Devastator: oh, got four baby kestrels this year in the nest at my work.
06:48:55 Devastator: yeah. Amusing to watch them all sticking their heads out of the hole in the wall that is their nest.
06:49:21 Midjag: How's work been? Aside from having adorable birds at it
06:49:24 Devastator: I thought there were only two, but nope, saw all four today, two standing on top of other two.
06:49:39 Devastator: some serious broken stuff and overtime almost every day.
06:49:42 Midjag: things opening back up in canada?
06:49:43 Devastator: Had to work saturday.
06:49:56 Devastator: we never closed,
MJ, industrial laundry is an essential service.
06:50:00 Devastator: I have an essential profession
06:50:08 Devastator: and the particular application of my profession is itself essential.
06:50:12 Devastator: so three times over.
06:50:16 Midjag: So your essentially mantiance?
06:50:28 Midjag: Or do you just fix everything because your
dev~
06:50:38 Devastator: no, I have the certifications.
06:51:03 Devastator: there's stuff I can't do, but you pick it up. And there's some things I'm much better at than the other guy.
06:51:36 Devastator: Had a few screwups, but nothing too major.
06:51:59 Devastator: one situation where I blew out a machine's entire suite of seven photosensors because I hooked up the power line the wrong way.
06:52:15 Devastator: ..which happened because I had the wrong revision of the diagram, fortunately.
06:52:43 Devastator: yeah. Machine has both a 24VAC and 24VDC line.
06:53:02 Midjag: Backup battery or something?
06:53:13 Devastator: the DC line is for sensors and electronics.
06:53:33 Devastator: the AC line is for the small electric motors that run the belts in the machine.
06:53:54 Devastator: in this case, machine gets the DC line from sending the AC line through a diode.
06:54:06 Devastator: (a bunch of diodes)
06:54:33 Devastator: and that's the bit that blew out and I was fixing, along with the one sensor that blew out when it initially failed.
06:55:00 Devastator: so when I was putting it back together, I checked the diagram and hooked up the lines in the wrong places.
06:55:33 Devastator: I could have avoided it, but it was an understandable mistake.
06:55:52 Devastator: oh, also, we had to change a circuit board, which had things moved around a little.
06:57:01 Devastator: but yeah, they rotated it 90 degrees between the two revisions.
06:57:44 Devastator: and the circuit board changed which line it was hooked up to, too. It now hooked up to the AC line and had its own rectifier, instead of the DC line.
06:58:00 Devastator: ..which probably was to prevent it from blowing out should the main rectifier fail, which is what happened.
07:02:13 Devastator: I have no idea why they rotated the rectifier, though.
07:02:44 Midjag: Maybe it was just esierer to get to that way?
07:03:40 Devastator: No, it was right in the clear. Literally, you just clip the wires to the three poles.
07:03:59 Devastator: well, three of the four poles.
07:05:03 Midjag: oh christ, it's still saying 20 mintues
07:06:13 Devastator: if it's not working, then we must.
07:07:38 Devastator: sure it's not working?
07:07:48 Midjag: nah it's working it's just slow.
07:07:52 Midjag: And I need to go to bed soonish
07:13:11 Midjag: I can watch like a single episode of RZ
07:18:03 Devastator: 6 features him screaming, lemme check 5.
07:18:35 Devastator: yup, 6 is where we left off.
07:18:42 Devastator: he got bloodily murdered at the end of 5.
07:18:43 Midjag: I think we had just watched him get hacked to pieces by some unseen forc
07:20:55 Devastator: So did we go back like two seconds before he went back?
07:21:04 Devastator: so we saw his empty body for a moment there?
07:21:39 Midjag: I did once wake up and was genuienlly confused what day it was.
07:21:44 Devastator: "Someone's going to murder us all in four or five days."
07:23:16 Devastator: or maybe one of them was the murderer.
07:23:25 Devastator: also spinning loli.
07:23:26 Midjag: Fun story there, I had been out all night, on friday, woke up, thought it was Friday again, cursed because I thought I was late to a class, stumbled over to class only to find out it was in fact saturday, and not friday as I thought.
07:23:41 Midjag: Wow, Car really is a car
07:23:49 Devastator: wouldn't the table get in the way?
07:24:32 Devastator: still waiting for your guess as to what the loli is. ;-p
07:24:40 Devastator: wait, you said "Dragon"
07:24:45 Midjag: I want to see like some construct.
07:24:56 Midjag: But I dunno, defienlty not human is all I know
07:25:51 Midjag: God damnit, these voice actors are familiar, but I can't place what show I've seen them in.
07:26:36 Midjag: Heh, for a second I thought Car was oging to lose a fiht against a cat
07:26:50 Midjag: I mean I think it was more of a draw
07:27:57 Midjag: I just like calling people nicknames.
07:28:49 Midjag: My fraternity has differnt nicknames for different people.
07:29:08 Devastator: Right, you mentioned that, I think.
07:29:32 Devastator: decided o not be a worker this time.
07:29:52 Midjag: But yeah, everyone calls me either doc or just my last name
07:30:18 Devastator: and he's writing in japanese.
07:31:57 Devastator: "I'm too busy to murder you."
07:32:06 Devastator: ..doesn't she just sit on that chair?
07:32:33 Devastator: chug chug goes the bone marrow.
07:33:02 Devastator: well, he gets there eventually.
07:33:36 Devastator: 'well, I'll get another crack if I die'
07:34:00 Devastator: "Look for me on the dawn of the fourth day."
07:34:00 Midjag: I think at a certain point death stops losing it's sting
07:34:27 Devastator: dude saved the royal selection icon.
07:34:35 Devastator: that's probably worth three days.
07:35:07 Midjag: Are they the japense thing?
07:36:29 Midjag: Are the twins secretlly like the representaitions of the red ogre blue ogre thing?
07:36:41 Devastator: I don't actually know enough about that to say, but it's not too far off.
07:37:45 Midjag: They could have just like talked to the villagers.
07:38:27 Devastator: "I DON'T MAKE CHOICES LIKE THAT"
07:39:22 Midjag:
Dev you need to read that traitor son cycle book series, you'd really enojoy it.
07:39:37 Devastator: I got a couple on order.
07:39:53 Midjag: There's a whole thing about a dragon with like complex cultural ties, it's fun.
07:40:18 ER has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
07:40:28 Midjag: they have dragon drawn carriages?
07:40:34 Midjag: Why the hell wouldn't you take that
07:40:42 Midjag: You could ride a goddamn draggon
07:40:44 Devastator: they're basically dino-horses.
07:41:36 Devastator: I wonder if their lines rhyme in japanese.
07:41:56 Devastator: that's a hairstyle.
07:42:04 Devastator: I should run a character with magic hair again at some point.
07:42:53 Devastator: at the end of season two, someone gives him a sword.
07:43:01 Devastator: it's going to be awful.
07:43:46 Midjag: That was actually not the most stupid plan I've ever seen.
07:43:56 Midjag: I mean I don't think that's how rapelling works, but eh
07:43:58 Devastator: no, wanted a glimpse of the attacker.
07:44:12 Devastator: and I will admit he's got no lack of bravery.
07:45:06 Devastator: someone made a miscalculation.
07:45:07 Midjag: Damnit, I had guessed that librarian was murdering him.
07:45:18 Devastator: want the explanation?
07:45:41 Midjag: I assume she's a demon and murders things seen as a threat to the house?
07:45:55 Devastator: they thought he was a spy this time.
07:46:15 Devastator: writing in a secret language..
07:46:34 Midjag: Making weird fairly tales.
07:47:10 Midjag: I was figuring everyone there was combat capable.
07:47:53 Midjag: And wow, I guess secondaries have just sapped my guessing abilities~
07:48:04 Midjag: I figured the clown had magic
07:48:17 Devastator: librarian also has magic.
07:48:26 Devastator: Emelia has magic and Mr Super Cat.
07:48:32 Midjag: He's got the insufferablity of a man who can tell raelity to shut up and sit down
07:49:00 Midjag: And he employs librarian, and the maids
07:49:08 Midjag: Who both seem pretty strong
07:49:28 Devastator: Which one's the strongest?
07:51:03 Midjag: I'm gonna guess either red or blue. I'm not sure because I don't know how fully they embrace their tropes
07:51:25 Midjag: Though since elf seems to have a nuke inside of her maybe her
07:54:26 Midjag: Okay, I figured, but I wasn't sure if you were asking in like useable power or whatever
