03:08:05 Devastator: Mmm, so Akashic senses, then, hmm.
03:11:42 Devastator: Need a bit of thinking time.
03:19:06 Devastator: it also looks like morning will be a bad thing, so probably want to get a body or a safe place before that happens.
03:19:42 ER: I don't even remember what time of day it's supposed to be anyways
03:25:03 Devastator: don't remember either.
03:25:19 Devastator: I can't see sunlight being pleasant.
03:26:09 Devastator: being an intangible creature of darkness.
03:26:51 ER: I have no clue what the sun represents metaphysically in this setting
03:28:53 Devastator: I mean, I don't know.
03:28:55 Devastator: this is speculative.
03:29:08 Devastator: I'm also trying to work out how to actually move, which is taking a bit.
03:29:52 Devastator: It's more verbiage, while trying to combine it with the strange sensory information.
03:29:57 Devastator: like what do you actually do?
03:30:04 Devastator: Pure will seems likely, but hmm.
03:30:12 Devastator: need more thinking.
03:33:44 Devastator: I suppose I could swing it back to semi-mundanity by finding a bird to possess, but want more thinking.
04:24:13 Devastator: since there's no telekinesis, probably want to possess animals if I want to move anywhere.
04:24:29 Devastator: although I'd wager inhabiting a book or something would let it be read.
04:25:05 ER: should be able to puppet things which aren't alive as well
04:25:17 Devastator: Yeah, but how would they move?
04:25:26 Devastator: (outside of undead)
04:25:50 ER: like, how's a skeleton move
04:26:13 ER: either way whatever you inhabit will get burnt out after a bit
04:27:51 ER: Consume Whole causes you to absorb a bit of whatever you possess to its end, for good or ill
04:28:36 ER: some things might give you penalties if you absorb them, but you can avoid that by just ending the possession before the time's up
04:29:50 Devastator: so you posess it, and then use consume whole to eat whatever has been posessed?
04:30:09 ER: nope, it's consumed anyways!
04:30:47 Devastator: ahh, so the skill is how fast it happens.
04:31:02 Devastator: or is it like control over the process?
04:31:26 ER: the level does something, presumably
04:33:12 Devastator: yeah, not like Bird would know.
04:42:04 Devastator: I don't think I want to possess something undead at this time. Seems like a good way to end up actually dead, doing opposed rolls to puppet something.
04:42:41 Devastator: living things or objects would probably be closer to defenseless.
05:03:51 MJ has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:05:41 ER: ...I watched a video about how to make a cuban sandwich
05:06:24 MJ: Mmm. Cuban sandwich’s are quite good
05:07:24 Devastator: need to do some thinking, Revenant got updated.
05:08:44 Devastator: unless he develops fire powers or something.
05:08:49 Devastator: or possesses a flame or something.
05:09:01 Devastator: but no, not as such.
05:09:20 Devastator: more than I do,
MJ! I'm flying blind here.
05:11:43 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:12:04 Devastator: I don't know if this counts as flying.
05:12:19 MJ: And of course the one time I don’t have a computer with me.
05:12:27 syv: The weather system is working again.
05:12:38 syv: Today was kinda a shitshow after I left.
05:12:44 ER: we should watch anime some time
05:12:57 Devastator: nobody else knew to handle it?
05:13:22 syv: First a trainee made a minor typo that was extremely, extremely significant. Which was caught and fixed before anything happened, or anyone saw, but is still bad.
05:13:47 syv: No, after my shift the boss was on duty, but she had a trainee with her who fucked up bad.
05:14:34 syv: And after she left it was... well, the antivaxxer who will be gone soon. Who didn't break anything, but was just an absolute idiot and didn't even do the modt basic possible fixes when she should've.
05:14:53 syv: Took me about an hour to fix everything after she left. But it's working now.
05:15:47 ER: I can make text larger in this program to make it easier for me to read, but it doesn't rememebr between restarts
05:15:52 Devastator: that would involve thinking, yes.
05:16:37 ER: I made this sandwich earlier
05:16:52 ER: which was why I was thinking about cubans
05:16:57 MJ: That looks exceptionally good
05:17:17 ER: cover both sides of both slices of bread in mayo
05:17:46 Devastator: so what do we watch?
05:20:54 MJ: So I genuinely don’t have time to watch something. I’ve got to wake up really early tomorrow.
05:23:56 Devastator: see ya, Midnight Jaguar.
05:26:22 ER: I can't really see the fell lord as ever having had living underlings
05:29:57 Devastator: To be honest, I'm not sure what to do,
syv.
05:30:03 Devastator: got some ideas, but don't know.
05:30:48 syv: Ending seems to be hinting that.
05:31:04 Devastator: yeah, but how you do eyes while intangible?
05:31:07 syv: You're a *thing* made from necromantic energies.
05:31:19 syv: Same way invisible people see.
05:31:22 Devastator: I think that just means 'posess something'
05:31:57 syv: Could hitchhike on Shalva's senses, too, maybe.
05:32:10 syv: Though that has the worrying possibility of doing harm.
05:32:16 Devastator: I don't know, don't want to do that at this point.
05:32:23 Devastator: just been bad results from hanging around Shalva.
05:33:36 Devastator: and going off alone seems likely to just burn to death again.
05:33:45 syv: Trying to possess some random body might work.
05:33:53 Devastator: where I get killed by Tric's old character.
05:33:56 syv: Prolly best to *not* try a human.
05:34:07 syv: Nah, you got sorta warned of that by fire.
05:34:30 syv: And however Tric's dumb char works, they aren't stealthy. They should be *quite* visible.
05:34:52 Devastator: it did stick, but not fatal.
05:35:12 syv: Grabbing and subsuming some bird should be easy and safe enough.
05:35:13 Devastator: at this point I mostly want to explore the world, but it's on fire.
05:36:05 Devastator: I don't know, I'll try to find out how this works for a while.
05:36:10 Devastator: then I'll decide on something.
05:40:07 syv: Manipulation for Shalva is -1.
05:40:17 syv: So not a good necromancer quite yet. Need to do a quest.
05:45:56 ER: do either of you remember Monk12's necromancer SG?
05:46:43 ER: I remember there was a specific made-up term for necromantic energy
05:47:04 ER: the stuff which is equivalent yet opposite to life energy
05:47:18 syv: Necromancy in that wasn't actually so much about manipulating opposition to life.
05:47:33 syv: It was about manipulating vitality--life itself--in a brutal and forceful way.
05:49:34 ER: I think the purple stuff was not actually vitality?
05:50:02 syv: That was like five years afo.
05:50:13 Devastator: going to stream cogmind.
05:50:16 syv: Vitality was a resource which had to be managed.
05:50:17 Devastator: this game has -terrible- luck.
05:53:48 Devastator: no idea if you're watching, but there's the rant that explains how screwed I am.
05:57:30 ER: ah, yeah, necro could passively see Arosh inside of zombies, and could cast a spell to see Vitality in living things
05:57:37 ER: so they were different things
05:58:02 ER: and I think vitality as a resource was just HP
06:04:08 ER: I would totally play cogmind, if I owned it
06:06:51 syv: You don't seem to be so hurt
06:12:44 syv: Hm. I'm gonna go soon. Though this does look really neat.
06:12:57 syv: I don't understand it quite well enough to follow.
06:13:47 syv: So... kill a bunch of enemies early so you don't have to kill so many later.
06:15:34 syv: The sound effects are awesome
06:17:04 ER: "I task you with the same task a worshipped one tells to a hero since the beginning."
06:17:14 ER: "Seek glory. In glory lies power. In power lies change. The only way to change the world is to be without fear."
06:19:08 syv: Yep, just amusing after you started as a biped.
06:19:39 syv: Are wheels superior to legs?
06:20:58 syv: Being overweight should damage the propulsion parts slowly.
06:23:28 syv: This game has a *lot* of depth
06:25:42 syv: Quadcopter triple-wielding chainswords
06:27:14 syv: I wouldn't mind watching more another time.
06:27:15 Devastator: yeah, went from being horrible luck to pretty nice luck.
06:27:27 Devastator: game can turn pretty quickly like that.
06:27:32 syv: It is, ah, significantly more visually pleasing than most roguelikea.
06:28:35 Devastator: also getting a lot of Gauss Rifle core shots, which are excellent.
06:29:02 Devastator: basically making the ~60% chance to hit, and then the ~35% chance to hit someone in the core for real damage.
06:29:10 Devastator: enemy robots are like you, carrying their gear on their bodies.
06:29:33 Devastator: but they have very low core HP, so they die quickly.. if you get the good hit in.
06:30:21 syv: And I guess that leaves salvage?
06:31:14 Devastator: there's also a modifier. You get less of their surviving gear if you use certain types of weapons.
06:31:36 Devastator: like big gauss cannons have a -6 modifier, which means they won't drop all their surviving stuff.
06:31:46 Devastator: if you've been shooting giant cannons at them.
06:32:08 syv: So guns can damage loot both by their salvage number *and* by hitting parts instead of core.
06:32:11 Devastator: it's not zero, and I've found that you really want the damage more than leaving intact corpses, so I've been using more of them.
06:52:22 Devastator: also
syv, I don't think I can create eyes without Mind over Matter.
06:52:53 Devastator: didn't she get flesh back?
06:52:58 syv: Well she's still not rotten.
06:53:00 Devastator: well, can still shapeshift other undead.
06:53:07 Devastator: that skill's still there.
06:55:31 syv: How much of that is Monk12's?
06:56:06 ER: the rest is my own weird ideas
07:13:29 Devastator: underground would be the best way to avoid encounters, then.
07:13:38 Devastator: except for this whole graveyard full of buried undead right here.
07:16:24 Devastator: well, you said any direction..
07:16:51 Devastator: although really, prediction should help with encounters.
07:19:10 ER: really it's a pretty good deal since you're not something to eat and people have probably never heard of a wraith before so they don't know if they should be trying to stab you
07:19:54 Devastator: no offense, but anything made of absolute darkness that ignores physics is scary.
07:20:48 ER: in a world where the fae exist there's probably a selection pressure to try to avoid weird shit you don't understand

21:03:51 Devastator: looks like Olaf was not stout enough!
21:05:47 Devastator: and you rolled well to dodge the shells.
21:07:44 Devastator: ..mario kart is a good forum game.
21:07:50 Devastator: it's just random enough.
21:08:04 ER: which is to say it's chaotic as fuck
21:08:52 Devastator: Of course, Olaf might fall back after pulling ahead when going this slow, so..
21:12:23 ER: I *think* dwarmin forgot to give me a chance to grab a green cheep, so I'll wait for a response to that before making an action
21:15:21 Devastator: If you fail it, aren't you now vulnerable to the ram check? ;-p
21:16:02 ER: not doing it as a stunt though
21:45:33 Devastator: looks like no green for you.
21:46:04 Devastator: eh, it's still close.
21:47:15 ER: provided I don't hit the bouncing shell :p
21:48:43 Devastator: well, I could fall back again, making it close.
22:53:00 ER has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
22:55:40 Devastator: That X thing might be important.
