00:12:06 MidJag: You get a switch or something?
00:15:29 ER: nah I'm talking about a real game :p
00:47:07 Piecewise has joined #einsteinianroulette
00:48:06 ER: why did a random skeleton just fall into the room
00:48:29 Piecewise: long time no yell text at
00:49:19 ER: how are things ya old bastard
00:49:57 Piecewise: Busy. Barely on discord, not on here for a long time. But school is winding down. Finally done this December
00:50:26 Piecewise: Hows things for you?
00:50:33 Piecewise: Still soldiering on?
00:51:16 Piecewise: How is the discord? Still quiet save for occasional bursts of activity?
00:51:40 Piecewise: I see
Sy complaining about GW
00:51:59 ER: it's the domain of goblin, as ever
00:52:44 Piecewise: Ya guys watching any of them chinese cartoons?
00:54:11 Piecewise: Fair enough. Last time I saw it was...psycho pass?
00:55:28 ER: we watched the second season of that for some reason
01:09:22 ER: Piecewise Piecewise
Piecewise
01:09:39 Piecewise: I am doing ok. Performing brain surgery with radiation and inhaling paint fumes
01:09:52 MidJag: Sounds like a good combo.
01:10:26 Piecewise: Both unironically true, though the latter accidental
01:10:37 Piecewise: Also getting old. my joints hurt
01:11:00 Piecewise: How you guys been doing?
01:11:00 MidJag: Yes, there are definte donwsides to getting old, I would recommend avoiding it as much as possible
01:11:08 MidJag: Not bad, I graduated college.
01:11:43 Piecewise: Have you started working in...whatever it was you were studying for?
01:11:51 MidJag: Thanks, got a major in Microbiology and a minor in antrhoplogy and a taste for cheap beer for my troubles.
01:12:09 ER: whereas I am a tiny baby who has no idea what I'm doing
01:12:20 MidJag: Sorta, I'm trying to go to medical school and I actually just got an interview invite from a school yesterday.
01:13:03 ER: just another decade or so of school and then you'll be free. to spend all your time being a doctor~
01:13:07 MidJag: MD/PhD is the plan and probably, still not entierlly sure.
01:13:24 Piecewise: I'm bout finish this MD in medical dosimetry
01:13:54 MidJag: I thought you weren't in med school.
01:13:54 Piecewise: Md stands for masters degree~
01:14:22 ER: I plan to spend the rest of my life as an uneducated chump
01:14:26 Piecewise: yeah, I can put "MD" after my name though~
01:14:45 Piecewise: Technically...CMD but whatever, just one letter better
01:15:10 MidJag: So any plans for where to looks for jobs?
01:15:36 MidJag: Or mostly just focused on graduating right now?
01:15:47 Piecewise: Dunno. Around locally first. Maybe arizona. Apparently tons of jobs in Phoenix
01:16:05 Piecewise: Maybe do remote, if possible
01:16:06 MidJag: Cool, I actually applied to University of arizona Phoenix.
01:16:20 Piecewise: Nice. I have no idea if they're any good
01:16:23 MidJag: ....how do you do remote dosemitry?
01:16:54 Piecewise: I create plans for Radiation therapy. Its all computer based
01:17:16 MidJag: Cool, and I dunno if they're any good but one of their proffs does reaserch I like.
01:17:17 Piecewise: I ain't out there with a meter poking stuff
01:17:35 MidJag: I just figured you needed to be there to operate the machine
01:17:50 ER:
PW is the ghost in the machine
01:17:52 Piecewise: Nah, we have radiation Therapists for that
01:17:58 Piecewise: I just make the plans.
01:18:12 Piecewise: and spend the day listening to audio books
01:18:28 Piecewise: Yes, but with greater chance to kill man
01:18:38 MidJag: Heh, so your every radiologist ever~
01:18:44 ER: that just seems like your style
01:19:20 Piecewise: Indeed. Sit at computer, hold the lives of mortals in my hands, be lazy
01:20:02 MidJag: How's the pandemic been treating you?
01:21:19 Piecewise: Vaccinated, not been sick, so pretty good
01:21:36 Piecewise: We don't see many sick people up our way
01:21:47 Piecewise: well, we see nothing but sick people actually
01:22:00 Piecewise: Just cancer. Nothing big
01:22:23 MidJag: The other C words thats a problem
01:23:52 MidJag: How's your foot? I rember you'd broke it last time I talked to you.
01:24:11 Piecewise: It got better. Now it hurts! But in an unrelated way
01:24:36 Piecewise: Not fallen down the stairs and broken my ankle for a third time
01:25:26 MidJag: I'm sensing a pattern dubs, are you in an abusive realtionship with stairs? Blink twice if you are.
01:28:38 Piecewise: Twice is coincidence
01:29:18 Piecewise: This is what the police told me
01:30:39 MidJag: How's your discord going?
01:33:41 Piecewise: Mostly Oz right now, with others less often
01:35:05 MidJag: I'll have to let you know if I get into Arizona, You'll need to be the first to know if the mutant wasps rebel against their creators
01:37:39 Piecewise: I got family in phoenix so I head down there when I can
01:37:52 Piecewise: pretty nice, if you don't mind living in an oven
01:38:43 MidJag: I live in Alabama so I'm familiar with miserable heat.
01:39:33 ER: sooner freeze me in glacier
01:40:53 MidJag: I got a bunch of diverse tempature ranges for med school, I the biggest range in terms of ambient tempature is Phoenix vs Nebreska.
01:47:36 Piecewise: At least phoenix has no humidity
01:48:24 MidJag: I've also never seen the desert
01:52:18 Piecewise: It is very different
01:53:44 Piecewise: Could be. Depends on your personal standards of beauty. I think it is
01:54:52 Piecewise: Some places obviously nicer than others
01:55:11 MidJag: Neat, but yeah, the proffesor does reaserch on parasitoid wasps, which I work on as well.
01:55:35 ER: only pretty biome is appalacha >:(
01:57:00 Piecewise: Nature is always beautiful, if you're willing to see it
01:57:36 MidJag: That is true. I even like Alabama assuming you ignore the majority of people in it~
01:57:56 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
01:58:26 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:00:36 MidJag: Oh good I thought I'd scared
ER off with my bias~
02:02:28 Piecewise: People are part of nature...Grudgingly
02:06:22 MidJag: Seen any good anime latelly dubs?
02:16:59 Piecewise: Well Mushoku Tensei was good
02:17:11 Piecewise: That was a season ago
02:17:38 Piecewise: Watched the second season of dragon maid. Also good.
02:17:59 Piecewise: Slime...whatever season its on. Pretty good.
02:18:36 Piecewise: Lot of good ones coming up next season
02:18:41 Piecewise: second season of Mushoku Tensei
02:18:53 Piecewise: Komi finally getting the long awaited adaptation
02:18:59 Piecewise: (With massive budget)
02:19:16 Piecewise: Oh, To your eternity was also good.
02:20:47 MidJag: Oh the one with the shy girl
02:21:20 Piecewise: Yeah, its been quite popular for a long time so people were always wondering when it would get adapted
02:21:25 Piecewise: and for years it wasn't
02:21:32 Piecewise: became a meme it was never going to be
02:22:07 MidJag: Never really appealed to me, but it seems interesting I suppose.
02:22:38 Piecewise: Its cute enough if you like romcoms
02:22:59 Piecewise: Nothing ground breaking but well done
02:23:11 MidJag: I think romcoms are possibly my least favorite genre.
02:23:37 Piecewise: Probably not for you then
02:23:47 Piecewise: To your eternity is good
02:23:51 MidJag: I'm not much of a romantic.
02:24:30 Piecewise: To your eternity is the story of an immortal shapeshifter and his extremely long life
02:24:43 Piecewise: its quite interesting
02:24:45 MidJag: How long are we talking here?
02:25:04 Piecewise: Hard to say. But thousands of years likely
02:25:55 Piecewise: It handles his story and the stories of those he meets quite well
02:26:52 Piecewise: Mushoku Tensei is basically the progenitor of all isekai and still probably one of if not the best in the genre really
02:27:41 Piecewise: its is to isekai what LOTR is to generic fantasy
02:28:00 Piecewise: origin of huge swaths of the general tropes and ideas the genre uses
02:28:09 MidJag: And also it is weird how much LOTR defined generic fantasy to a distrubing extent
02:28:32 Piecewise: true. Fantasy before LOTR was pretty freaking weird
02:30:16 MidJag: Yeah, like conan and such.
02:32:07 Piecewise: the worm ouroboros is another one
02:32:21 Piecewise: Actually called its world "Middle Earth" too
02:32:34 Piecewise: which was originally just a term for "known world"
02:32:43 Piecewise: Ie the earth in the middle of the map
02:33:16 MidJag: The Grey Mouser is a series I've always meant to read.
02:33:38 Piecewise: Huh, never heard of it
02:33:58 Piecewise: Though, I think if you diverge from english lit you'll still find weird fantasy
02:34:04 MidJag: Full name is Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser
02:34:13 Piecewise: LOTR wasn't as influential out in the non-english world
02:34:41 MidJag: It's essentially to best buds rouge their way into and out of problems.
02:35:28 MidJag: The witcher series is pretty good. Not quite as LOTR as some things.
02:35:59 MidJag: And with an incredibly amount of eastern block cynicism thrown in.
02:37:18 Piecewise: As is required of any former soviet territory
02:38:30 MidJag: All it needs is for Geralt to swig nothing but vodka and have a mosin nagant and it would hit every stereotype.
02:41:01 MidJag: Oh I did read an intresting book series recentlly.
02:43:34 MidJag: Like it's kinda like Authruain fantasy, like King aruthur stuff, but really brutal and with weirder monster and native americans also live in the world. It's intresting
02:43:57 MidJag: But the author also loves medival terminology so it get's kinda confusing sometimes
02:45:51 Piecewise: I've been listening through "The rise and fall of D.O.D.O."
02:47:14 Piecewise: A Neal Stephenson book about...well that would be kind of a spoiler
02:47:51 Piecewise: about a language expert being recruited into a "Shadowy government program" to translate ancient documents that appear to be about magic
02:47:55 MidJag: Neil stepehnson sounds really familiar, but I'm not sure why
02:48:03 Devastator: Haven't seen you around for a bit.
02:48:28 Devastator: also, we watched RE: Zero
02:49:00 Piecewise: He's a pretty big author.
02:49:11 Piecewise: I was around for rezero, least the first half
02:49:18 ER: feel free to meet us in the wallmart parking lot if you don't think rem's best gir;
02:49:21 Devastator: yeah, we watched season 2.
02:49:43 ER: how much of it have you watched with
mj
02:49:43 Devastator: Isn't dubs from the desert? Don't thay have full on actual wilderness there?
02:50:00 Devastator: he wasn't around for the main watch.
02:50:09 MidJag: I'm slowlly getting through it.
02:51:01 Devastator: or you would have told me off by now.
02:51:08 MidJag: Oh I think I've read something from Neil Stephenosn
02:51:18 Devastator: Neil Stephenson's written a lot of stuff.
02:51:45 Devastator: sadly, for some authors that narrows it down lots.
02:51:47 Devastator: not so much with him.
02:52:52 MidJag: Hmm, whatever I read it must have been a long time ago
02:54:55 MidJag: But yeah Re Zero is intresting, I've just been busy, my project actually has things happening.
02:55:06 MidJag: Which is a bit of a change.
02:56:53 Piecewise: Is joke. is reference
02:57:28 MidJag: The fruit flies with the wasp venom project is finnally happening
02:57:43 Piecewise: Fruit flies that contain venom?
02:57:54 Devastator: It's for those nasty fruits.
02:58:04 Piecewise: Are you breeding a swarm of poisonous dots?
02:58:20 ER: til
mj is a bioweapons researcher
02:59:37 MidJag: Uhh, I'm essentially taking some venom from wasps and seeing how the fruit flies immune systems react and seeing if that could be used for Immunosuppresents
03:03:53 MidJag: The wasp venom. The parasitoid wasps can make localized immune suppression of the fruit flies immune systems to protect their parasitic eggs
03:04:38 Devastator: hopefully the active ingredient isn't the pain-inducing one.
03:04:50 ER: next time my immune system tries to unionize I'll be sure to whack a wasp nest
03:05:05 ER: ...parasitoid wasps probably don't make nests, do they
03:05:18 MidJag: Some species do, but most don
03:05:31 MidJag: Their nest is the fly their emmeded in.
03:06:03 MidJag: But some do make kinda nests and put paralyzed spiders in it.
03:06:19 MidJag: But I'm not looking at those.
03:06:32 Devastator: Someone else gets to do that cool topic?
03:06:39 ER: paper nests or holes in the ground?
03:06:56 MidJag: Mud nests, like dirt dobbers are a kind of parasitic wasp.
03:07:14 Piecewise: "Good news! We found a cure for your autoimmune disease! Bad news is you have to be pumped full of wasp venom"
03:07:26 Piecewise: It wouldn't be the first time
03:07:51 Devastator: well, compared to chemotherapy agents..
03:07:55 Piecewise: If I remember right having a tapeworm cures rheumatoid arthritis
03:08:22 Piecewise: Or at least prevents the auto immune reactions that cause it
03:08:28 ER: nature is very beatiful and helpful
03:08:39 MidJag: It does seem to help yeah
03:08:59 Piecewise: Chemo is not nice, no
03:09:09 Piecewise: Such is the issue of fighting your own body
03:09:42 ER: what if we simply told the cancer cells to turn back into normal cells
03:09:58 MidJag: But yeah, essentially the parasitoid wasps want to make sure that the egg is protected, but not so protected that the fruit fly dies of oppertunisitc infections.
03:11:06 Devastator: how many eggs per fly?
03:12:01 ER: I recall that fruit flies which see parasitic wasps around will lay their eggs in more alchoholic fruit than usual, because the alchohol kills the wasp larva more than it kills the fruit flies
03:12:06 ER: tightropes all the way down
03:13:00 MidJag: I uhh, never actually looked it up and it never really came up, I think each sting has just one? But they might sting them multiple times.
03:15:32 Piecewise: >"What if we told the cancer cells to turn back into normal cells?"
03:15:51 Piecewise: Or rather just try to get the body to kill them
03:15:53 Devastator: or convince other cells to start murdering them.
03:16:08 Devastator: sometimes it even works!
03:16:11 ER: I'm just too much of an ignorant jackass to say anything more specific than that
03:16:28 Piecewise: sometimes. people have actually spontaneously recovered from cancer
03:16:52 Piecewise: and we've been able to create an abscopal effect where the body attacks cancer we're not treating
03:16:54 Devastator: I found out that for a very lucky few people ALS stops progressing.
03:17:01 MidJag: But yeah I'm looking to see how conserved the effect is genetically and that would sorta be a preliminary step to seeing if it could work in humans if it's a really conserved pathway that humans also have, dunno, that's what the reaserch is for.
03:17:21 Devastator: mmm, might lead to interesting data, even if it doesn't translate directly.
03:17:24 Devastator: more grist for the mill.
03:18:00 Devastator: anyway, want more show,
MJ?
03:29:23 Devastator: Also, looks like black's handling the character criticism okay,
ER.
03:30:25 Devastator: oh, and
Piecewise, been playing a bit of an odd game lately. A robot-based roguelike called Cogmind.
03:32:05 ER: I'd have preferred if he'd reply with his own volley of worldbuilding ponderances rather than rewriting the description, but I guess I can't expect that :p
03:32:25 Piecewise: not played in a while though
03:32:32 Piecewise: probably significantly updated
03:32:38 Devastator: I'm not very good at it.
03:32:50 Piecewise: its a roguelike so thats normal
03:33:15 Piecewise: its hard to be good at roguelikes
03:33:19 Devastator: I'm not super amazing at them, but I'm not half-bad.
03:33:29 Devastator: can beat Nethack about one time in four.
03:33:44 Devastator: yeah, played it a bunch last year.
03:33:52 Devastator: but that's just one.
03:33:56 Devastator: not patient enough for better.
03:33:59 MidJag: I'm just happy I've beeten stone soup twice.
03:34:09 Devastator: Stone soup's harder than nethack.
03:34:09 Piecewise: Played source of madness recently. Procedurally generated elder gods
03:34:22 MidJag: That sounds intresting dubs
03:34:40 Devastator: hey, I've played both. I can tell you, I will not beat stone soup one time in four.
03:34:52 Devastator: maybe one time in a hundred.
03:35:04 Devastator: about the same win rate as IVAN.
03:35:26 ER: hey
Piecewise you should start another RTD which people bounce off of so that I can play without having to read oz's posts
03:36:36 Devastator: you know my love of open world games, but sadly they're not too popular. ;-p
03:37:48 Devastator: Magnum opus does look good, and I'd join if I wasn't so busy with Extinction.
03:37:49 ER: I could probably flesh out revenant's world a little better so that it's an open world game rather than a "this town" game
03:38:16 Devastator: I hope it isn't too much of a problem trying to get away a bit.
03:38:28 Devastator: I just want a few days to figure out what bird is now and how it works.
03:38:39 ER: but I don't really have many ideas, relying on structure laid down by the players for that world :p
03:39:11 ER: could probably just timeskip that and give you a description of those skills
03:40:04 Devastator: would you prefer that? I was hoping to get at least one posession description.
03:40:31 ER: yeah, I'd better describe that
03:40:51 ER: and will probably roll for hunting with the current action
03:41:39 Devastator: mm, Prediction + Observation?
03:44:56 Devastator: also.. player-oriented creation..
03:45:12 Devastator: could be more specific about what bird's looking for.
03:45:21 Devastator: that could inspire more information.
03:45:39 Devastator: like looking for a town or something.
03:45:53 Devastator: or a waterfall, or a castle, or farmland..
03:46:55 ER: there's ruins and swamp in the direct vicinity. and maybe some fae.
03:48:20 Devastator: did a castle fall down in the swamp?
03:49:21 ER: insert monty python scene here?
03:52:48 Devastator: Also, I think I've intimidated everyone in Extinction too much. I mean.. Sessha shows up next round, so you'll be okay no matter what happens.
03:54:20 Devastator: There's better and worse decisions to make, but it's just a question of efficiency and pain.
04:08:41 ER: hmm. using prediction's 2 for this would make sense, and is powerful. oh well :p
04:09:17 ER: probably in future games I should seperate off roll bonus skills from usable abilities
04:12:54 ER: the friggin + key on my keyboard is becoming unreliable
04:13:37 Devastator: there's also alt-43
04:13:44 ER: there's no = on my numpad tho
04:13:55 ER: I mean, it works, I can type it
04:14:17 ER: it's just sometimes I get a and then I press it again and get a ==
04:15:18 GameServ:
ER rolled 1d6: 5 <Total: 5>
04:15:52 GameServ:
ER rolled 3d6: 5 6 6 <Total: 17(+3) = 20>
04:16:29 Devastator: hey, you get the drama dice too!
04:16:45 ER: well, you rolled a 20 with Predict,
dev
04:16:48 Devastator: I had that wand guy and his four consecutive natural 20s the other day.
04:17:11 ER: just fucking write the turn for me I guess
04:17:22 Devastator: well, Moldbin was looking for a bird to possess, so he probably found an nest of a nice target.
04:17:28 Devastator: would it have to be something mundane?
04:18:35 ER: something within 1% probability of nesting in a swamp near a human village, I suppose
04:18:51 Devastator: could be in transit, then.
04:19:14 ER: rolling a 17 or higher on 3d6 is 1/108 so that's about right :p
04:19:23 MidJag: Huh, Skullduggery Pleasent could be turned into a movie. That would be.....interesting and probably horribly dissapointing.
04:19:29 Devastator: lemme prime my own pump a bit.
04:19:35 ER: and it's thematic with Predict that you just decide what happens when you crit
04:19:39 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 9 <Total: 9>
04:19:57 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d12: 10 <Total: 10>
04:21:07 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d100: 45 <Total: 45>
04:21:24 GameServ:
Devastator rolled 1d100: 84 <Total: 84>
04:25:36 Devastator: okay, he found a migratory year-old skyhawk, a bird that uses innate metal magic to eventually reinforce itself with shiny aluminum and magnesium. If it were to reach maturity, it would have a 3-4 m wingspan, but since it's immature it's about 2/3 that, and only has occasional metallic feathers, as it hasn't found enough of the right kind of rocks yet.
04:25:57 Devastator: but that might be too extreme, could rein it in.
04:27:48 Devastator: maybe two years, it seems like it'd need another year.
04:31:54 MidJag: I can watch an ep yeah.
04:32:50 Devastator: well, I have 10 selected. Lemme check if that was the last one or next one.
04:34:08 ER: I'll watch with you if I can find the folder
04:34:36 Piecewise has quit [Read error: Operation timed out]
04:35:29 Devastator: need a sec for Egan.
04:36:09 MidJag: I know, just readying up
04:37:17 ER: wanna make sure I grabbed the right season >.>
04:37:34 Devastator: because phases don't work like that.
04:37:59 ER: maybe it has a bit taken out of it
04:38:05 Devastator: phases are pretty damned fundamental. ;-p
04:38:34 Devastator: maybe it should be like a moon bird or something. ;-p
04:38:35 ER: straight from 5 to 1, brave
04:38:40 MidJag: I swear I've gotten weirdlly used to having tosynch
04:39:22 MidJag: I'm not sure your going to kill that one
04:39:33 Devastator: just gotta try harder.
04:39:45 MidJag: Okay I always forget, which one is Rem?
04:40:00 ER: I like how the air magic kid is so op that she uses air magic to water the crops
04:40:06 ER: and the other kid is water element
04:40:12 MidJag: And I knew it, she sacraficed her horn to protect her sister making her the worse one.
04:40:30 Devastator: but that's your guesses. ;-p
04:40:51 MidJag: Okay that one was obvious, it's the classic brother scenario thing
04:41:31 MidJag: It's weird how they found them outfits that match their hair
04:41:54 ER: just good access to dyes I guess~
04:41:56 Devastator: they probably made them.
04:41:56 MidJag: It's also weird how everyone else is a demon but has normal hair except these two
04:42:21 ER: hair color's just a thing which happens in anime land :p
04:42:35 MidJag: Okay I take that back, they don't have normal hair
04:42:56 MidJag: So I guess it's just their demon village has a very good hair stylist
04:43:02 ER: I wonder if they're supposed to be demons ot humans with demon power
04:43:21 Devastator: I think it's demons.
04:43:39 MidJag: Wow, these demons are mean
04:43:47 MidJag: i mean I know they're demons but still
04:43:57 Devastator: They're almost as mean as kids!
04:44:17 MidJag: Even their fucking pillows are color coded
04:44:31 MidJag: how many flowers must dye by these monsters hands~
04:44:36 ER: good thing these twins have their emotional support twin on hand at all times huh
04:44:47 MidJag: That is a perk of being a twin
04:44:48 Devastator: could be mineral dyes.
04:45:11 MidJag: Wait, don't the parents have demon power as well?
04:45:13 Devastator: I know you have siblings,
MJ. No twin, right?
04:45:24 MidJag: I do have a twin, we are just fraternal
04:45:35 MidJag: I've got a younger and a twin.
04:45:40 ER: because destiny or whatever
04:45:45 Devastator: Cultist used Slash!
04:46:28 MidJag: But that one is just playing off normal twin rivalries
04:46:55 MidJag: Of literally having a constant rival eternally, even when you have totally different skill sets.
04:47:14 Devastator: welp. Blue had some deep seated psychology issues.
04:47:18 ER: now we return to this useless man
04:47:36 MidJag: I guess pink still rembers how to decapitate things
04:47:51 ER: you know that pink's op because she's still op after losing the op thing
04:47:53 Devastator: that's what airblades are for. ;-p
04:48:41 MidJag: But yeah
dev having a twin is weird. Even though my twin brother and I look nothing alike it's still weird.
04:48:54 ER: don't headbutt, she has horn
04:49:05 Devastator: That would have been a bad death.
04:49:17 MidJag: Death by stupid headbut.
04:50:03 MidJag: Also how did cultsits kill the demons when literally eveyone there has demon powers?
04:50:08 Devastator: I keep getting tripped up by the dub calling them mawbeasts, while the subtitles call them witchfiends.
04:51:15 MidJag: I do wonder when car looses his fear of death.
04:51:30 Devastator: already has, he just doesn't like it. ;-p
04:52:30 MidJag: Fuck, that's what he looks like.
04:53:21 MidJag: He's missing the eye, but otherwise he's got the same face paint.
04:53:30 ER: clowyn oneshots problem, thus saving the plot for allowing subaru to look too cool
04:53:50 Devastator: Roswall doesn't look like the kind of person who drags out fights.
04:54:06 MidJag: Clown apperently doesn't like to hire new workers.
04:54:34 Devastator: are you kidding me? WHere is he going to find a matching pair of demon maid twins? ;-p
04:54:38 Devastator: That'll take like a century.
04:54:50 ER: especially because, you know
04:55:38 ER: do not be ashamed of being horn, blue
04:55:54 MidJag: Wait, why can't rom cook now?
04:56:04 ER: I don't think she ever could
04:56:04 MidJag: She could cook before couldn't she?
04:56:07 Devastator: Rem got obsessed with it and exceeded her.
04:56:14 Devastator: or she was like ok at best.
04:57:28 ER: "and because I don't know, I get to act as if I know all about it"
04:57:46 Devastator: Car does do speeches.
04:58:05 MidJag: It's just I'm never sure he actually knows what he's talkign about
04:58:09 ER: he's better at being nice than at being cool, I guess
04:58:21 Devastator: Yes. Overshoots the whole cool thing.
04:58:24 ER: well yeah he talks out his ass
04:59:03 Devastator: I mean, we only get glimpses.
04:59:07 Devastator: he has to live with his own dumbness.
04:59:08 ER: too much cha and no access to any classes which use cha :p
04:59:23 MidJag: Pretty much, it's like he expected to be a bard and ended up a fighter
04:59:30 Devastator: Is the wind curtains thing like a standard anime trope?
04:59:38 Devastator: I'm remembering the same scene from Wolf Children.
04:59:47 ER: oh, they tell us this already
04:59:58 MidJag: I think that's just a trope, like I swear I've seen that in western movies or something.
05:00:41 MidJag: Is Kefka trying to end the world?
05:01:06 Devastator: there's like three different doomsday endings at work here.
05:01:33 MidJag: Reminds me of skullduggery pleasent, there's competing doomsday cults that all hate the other one for ending the world in the wrong way.
05:02:15 Devastator: I figure we'll get back to dragon stuff in season 3.
05:02:15 ER: swordman could probably beat MOST ways of the world ending which are in play though
05:02:20 Devastator: sicne it isn't covered in S2.
05:02:29 Devastator: I don't know, he did get power from god-dragon.
05:02:59 MidJag: What's with the cat boy?
05:03:17 MidJag: The blue one in the preview?
05:03:24 Devastator: could do one more to get set up for the next arc.
05:04:12 MidJag: Hey was that abyss show any good?
05:04:14 Devastator: ..god, there's like too many plot threads. Several named villains, killing the dragon..
05:04:21 Devastator:
syv really liked it.
05:04:56 Devastator: I didn't like it quite that much, but it was a good watch.
05:05:37 ER: wonder when abyss is gonna continue
05:05:46 Devastator: I read ahead a bit in the manga.
05:05:56 Devastator: worried about the next season.
05:06:04 Devastator: it repeats one of the plots from the last season.
05:06:16 Devastator: they should cut a lot of it out.
05:07:15 ER: I guess me and
sy like it because it's genuinely roadside-ish
05:07:26 ER: which isn't common or easy to pull off
05:07:28 MidJag: Roadside picnic is just great
05:07:30 Devastator: They also spend a long time in the same place.
05:08:55 MidJag: Okay, it's late, I'm waking up early to work on my project :D, so I should probably go to bed.
05:09:08 Devastator: next one kicks off the next arc, though.
05:09:11 Devastator: so you get to see dead car.
05:09:14 Devastator: and lots of new chars.
05:10:11 Devastator: also you get to see the cathood of invisibility.
05:10:54 MidJag: God damnit, eh, it's not like I need that much sleep anyway.
05:11:02 MidJag: I'll watch one one more ep and no more
05:13:19 MidJag: That really is a cat hood
05:13:29 Devastator: If you wear it, everyone thinks your normal.
05:13:40 Devastator: so she wears it when she doesn't want people to say HELLWITCH
05:14:30 MidJag: Oh hey it's the guy from Overlord
05:14:35 Devastator: also, those horse lizards are dragon carraiges.
05:14:47 Devastator: Nah, he's not a dragon.
05:14:57 MidJag: I know his char design was just similar
05:14:59 Devastator: don't fuck with him.
05:15:41 Devastator: ahh, hyperprecision of speech.
05:16:15 Devastator: I do like that kind of characterization.
05:16:28 Devastator: Wil speaks with extreme precision.
05:16:45 MidJag: This guy seems annoying.
05:17:12 MidJag: So this battle, is it literally a battle?
05:17:28 Devastator: It's a multi-stage anime thing.
05:17:31 Devastator: ..it could be, yes.
05:17:47 Devastator: First stage isn't a fight, but I could totally see one.
05:18:21 MidJag: Oh shit he does have David Bowie eyes
05:18:40 MidJag: He does have a very precisice manner of speaking
05:18:53 MidJag: And that butler has seen some shit.
05:18:59 Devastator: Always a good nickname that.
05:19:10 MidJag: Wow, she has him nailed
05:19:56 Devastator: WE DON'T FIND OUT HIS NAME!
05:20:21 Devastator: so I can only call him appa man.
05:20:40 ER: "car I told you to fuck off about that"
05:20:40 MidJag: Proffesions are a name in some cases.
05:20:48 Devastator: yeah,
MJ, I'm sure you know the odds of Subaru not sticking his head inside it.
05:20:58 Devastator: something less than zero.
05:21:44 MidJag: Sub somehow expresses the sucidical idiocy of a toddler mixed with the lack of learning of an adult.
05:21:57 Devastator: Car, you don't have the skill to hang with that level of conversational jujitsu.
05:22:19 MidJag: Car is still learning that art of the word
05:22:27 ER: well he is immortal, doesn't have to learn :p
05:22:43 MidJag: Oh hey classy angry woman
05:23:00 MidJag: Did she just call him a weeb?
05:23:37 MidJag: That would make more sense
05:23:53 Devastator: That is some pretty good body english, too.
05:24:22 MidJag: She threw you into a wall dude
05:24:33 Devastator: What did I say about not picking fights with people whose clothing is worth more than everything you own?
05:24:38 Devastator: but yeah, that's some advanced egotism.
05:25:07 MidJag: He's huge and friendlly
05:25:16 ER: natrually people are equivalently powerful to how fancy their clothes are
05:25:22 ER: but nobody ever notices this
05:25:35 MidJag: God damn that man has a way with words.
05:25:39 Devastator: there is the bare-chested exception.
05:26:27 MidJag: Oh hey he's barechested and a has a helmet
05:26:28 Devastator: experimental egotism.
05:26:45 MidJag: He's definetly dangerous
05:27:20 MidJag: I do like chars that always wear helmets.
05:27:29 MidJag: Just a visual design I enjoy.
05:27:39 Devastator: "Onto what? You're barechested?"
05:28:06 ER: he's too idiotic in this arc, I don't like it
05:28:15 ER: but I guess it's necessary for us to see the plot
05:28:20 Devastator: yeah, he's pushing it a bit.
05:28:24 MidJag: Does car get less dumb eventually?
05:28:25 Devastator: mind you, he is a complete moron.
05:28:31 Devastator: it's a matter of degree.
05:28:47 MidJag: OH hey culty vampire boob lady
05:28:53 ER: no but he does make friends and listen to them sometimes
05:28:57 MidJag: ....Did she kill the demons?
05:29:16 Devastator: I don't know who she was working for.
05:29:27 Devastator: but no, she isn't one of those cultists. She uses knives that look different.
05:29:41 MidJag: How many fucking cults are in this show?
05:29:48 MidJag: What are they a roman civilization?
05:29:50 ER: I recall who she was working for, she was directly working for [redacted] :p
05:30:00 Devastator: She's a freelancer.
05:30:11 Devastator: works for different people at different times.
05:30:55 ER: her personality is how I play RTDs
05:30:55 MidJag: God I like that guys design, it just excudes eccentricty and yet competence
05:31:06 MidJag: Which is like my favorite mix of things
05:31:11 Devastator: yeah, I should put a helmet guy in Extinction.
05:31:27 MidJag: Also why do they call appels appas?
05:31:33 Devastator: they're not apples.
05:31:42 Devastator: different kind of malum. ;-p
05:32:32 Devastator: and wide experience.
05:32:34 ER: this is his worst stunt I think
05:32:59 MidJag: He's just like eh, this seems fun, fuck it.
05:33:14 MidJag: Why are all of them anime girls?
05:33:30 Devastator: Because this is an anime, and the dragon is a pervert.
05:34:12 Devastator: He still hasn't quite gotten around the whole 'these people are real people' thing yet.
05:34:23 MidJag: Who, car or the dragoN?
05:34:33 MidJag: Also what is she fantasy russia?
05:34:44 MidJag: And then fantasy germany?
05:34:44 Devastator: ..do the wolf guys work for her?
05:34:57 Devastator: or is the prussian?
05:35:08 MidJag: Prussians probably more right
05:35:26 MidJag: Hahaha, felix is a dick.
05:35:39 Devastator: also, everyone here is a colossal asshole.
05:35:45 Devastator: it helps Car being stupid.
05:36:01 Devastator: well, other than helmet and Emelia.
05:36:28 Devastator: see? Told you he's a pervert. "Covenant"
05:36:30 MidJag: So this really is just cause the dragons a pervert
05:36:38 MidJag: I thought you were kidding
05:37:28 MidJag: Is that supposed to mean osmehting?
05:37:39 Devastator: Felt's the thief from the first arc,
MJ.
05:37:49 MidJag: I'm not great with names
05:37:58 Devastator: they stuffed her in a dress.
05:38:22 Devastator: but yeah, there's one more episode of epic stupidity, and then Car starts putting the idiot ball down a bit.
05:39:06 Devastator: no, he doesn't remain quite so stupid forever, but he'll never be called a genius.
05:39:22 ER: yeah, there are inevitable difficulties, and he mostly solves them through smartness rather than luck
05:39:41 Devastator: so, so much trauma.
05:40:04 Devastator: and yeah, I think the wolf guys do work for the anime russian.
05:40:22 Devastator: (they show up later)
05:41:30 Devastator: and yes, see you
MJ.
05:43:26 MidJag: night
ER, night
Dev. also I suspect that felt will lose, both because she's way too young and also because the average bust size for all the other queens or whatever is like a D.
05:43:41 Devastator: oh, it's something.
05:44:05 Devastator: They all do introductions next episode, and that's probably the most amusing part of it.
05:44:49 ER: either felt wins in the end or they all voltron together into one super queen
05:47:21 MidJag: I would love to see a voltron super queen
05:47:22 Devastator: And the winner is.. The Blob!
05:50:00 ER: also when I saw "slog" I felt like I suddenly unlocked like a quarter of my memories
05:50:57 Devastator: Because Warrens was the original FG&RP epic?
05:51:09 MidJag: I don't think I ever read warrens
05:51:12 Devastator: RTD had Princess Celestia.
05:51:24 MidJag: ....was this the one TMC ran?
05:51:29 Devastator: I hope extinction can get there one day.
05:51:54 ER: extinction will get there as soon as you add mspaint sprites,
dev
05:51:58 MidJag: Where it was like a bunch of random pop culture figures trying to kill princess celestia?
05:52:22 Devastator: I'm tempted. There's a couple people I could try to commision work from.
05:52:24 Devastator: very tempted to do that.
05:52:30 Devastator: miiight pull them out by surprise.
05:52:30 MidJag: Okay cool, I could rember if that was a game or some kind of stress based fever dream.
05:52:56 Devastator: "Fever Dream" is as good a description of Roll to dodge Princess Celestia as I could come up with.
05:53:04 Devastator: One of those inspired ideas.
05:53:27 Devastator: ..yeah, I'm tempted.
05:53:36 MidJag: Yeah. I rember I read that one for sure, and it was just fascinating, just complete madness but it somehow worked really well
05:53:40 Devastator: You think I should commission art for extinction?
05:54:09 Devastator: I'm not super rich, but.. yeah.
05:54:40 Devastator: tempted. There's the person who does sprites for FEF.
05:55:01 MidJag: Sprites aren't too expensive to commision IIRC.
05:55:14 MidJag: And if you keep it simple commisions aren't horribly expensive.
05:55:24 MidJag: sometimes, big asterik there
05:55:43 ER: in a discord with a number of artists who do commisions and well
05:56:36 Devastator: I'd be willing to put up a few bucks, but it'd have to be through credit card.
05:57:21 Devastator: face shots for Trence, Willis, Sessha, and Uncle. And Alice, after she's introduced.
05:57:43 Devastator: doing every dragon form would be too many.
05:59:07 Devastator: swordagon is bigger. ;-p
05:59:13 Devastator: but yeah, could do colour swaps.
06:01:03 Devastator: I suppose if I'm going to splurge, each of the four swords, and another one for the Concordat.
06:01:15 Devastator: have to discuss what they look like in private, heh.
06:01:33 Devastator: That would prolly be all.
06:03:55 Devastator: I was just thinking face ones for conversation. Battle sprites would demand making an entire interface.
06:04:31 ER: abuse of [table] would probably work, probably
06:04:43 Devastator: Don't know how to do those right!
06:05:12 Devastator: if battle sprites existed, I think I'd want them for the endboss fight.
06:05:38 Devastator: ..tbh, I'd probably want the whole screen, heh.
06:06:00 Devastator: the party, and the four swords, in <undisclosed location>
06:50:47 Devastator: oh, that's about as useful a bird as I could see being pretty easy to posess, being young and dumb, while being unreasonable capable, as suitable for the ridiculous prediction roll of 20.
06:56:23 ER: the way is clear, the path is lit. we require only the strength to follow it.
06:58:26 Devastator: plus I'm probably not going to be in this bird forever, and it'd be a shame to posess a young roc or something and have to give it up later. ;-p
07:12:42 Devastator: oh, do you mean I should have been more ambitious?
07:13:06 ER: I won't tell you what to do, it's a 20
07:13:41 ER: but I *am* writing now so time to retcon is running out :p
07:15:02 Devastator: give it metal reinforced bones, talons, and beak. Should be enough.
07:16:33 ER: ...so what's the deal with magnesium?
07:16:43 ER: alminum because it's light, right?
07:16:59 Devastator: magnesium is also super-light.
07:17:17 Devastator: they're also different chemically, which would help with the whole process.
07:17:50 Devastator: they're both flammable, but not so much in compounds.
07:18:59 Devastator: it's also more bioavailable in minerals, if I'm remembering things right. Alu bonds a bit more tightly.
07:19:59 Devastator: they probably both are, just one's easier to chomp on before the metal teeth.
07:22:29 Devastator: it's also 40% less dense.
07:24:34 Devastator: oh, hey, Talc is also a magnesium mineral. That's easy to get.
07:57:58 Devastator: something involving words.
08:01:40 Devastator: got away safely, eh? was the priest going to go for the kill?
08:02:37 ER: well if you got away safely you got away safely regardless of if someone's trying to hurt you or not
08:02:47 ER: I don't see any reason to read into it
08:03:18 Devastator: anyway, obvious orders are obvious!
08:03:46 Devastator: and then there will, hopefully, be eyes so less weird magic.
08:06:05 ER: to be honest, it's weird magic shit all the way down
08:06:18 ER: I don't know how to write anything else
08:06:25 Devastator: but there's a matter of degree.
08:39:41 Devastator: it does look good anyway.
08:40:42 ER: probably still a determination roll to possess, but could justify a situational bonus to that
08:41:14 ER: like opposed determinaton + possess
08:42:09 ER: considering it IS bsaically a guaranteed kill on whatever you possess and it works on nonliving things, I don't think another roll for this is too punishing
08:47:34 Devastator: Ugh, I hope I'm not going to fail another roll like this.
08:47:41 Devastator: bird is not that sharp at brain combat.
08:48:24 Devastator: taking determination 2 whenever I have another stat point sounds good.
08:48:28 Devastator: you need two to move to +2, right?
08:50:18 Devastator: says 3, and capped at +2.
08:51:16 ER: oh yeah, that was because they're much broader than skills
08:52:37 Devastator: it does say that experience counts for skills, so might get +2 Posess after a few successes.
08:53:37 ER: that mainly ticks for spending time on training or something, which might be difficult to get for innate wraith abilities >.>
08:54:00 Devastator: eh, if inanimates need a roll, there's a chance. ;-p
08:54:09 Devastator: but tbh I'd expect ordinary objects would just be free.
08:56:00 Devastator: hmm, there a size limit on small? Could jump through an entire eggsack of baby spiders, say.
08:57:21 ER: Can't hide inside of small thing as effectively.
08:57:37 ER: ...but could puppet it mor easily.
08:58:05 Devastator: ahh, so the wraitform has to go inside stuff.
09:00:38 Devastator: also, have to figure out what Darkspirit Catalyzation does. ;-p
09:02:44 Devastator: so still does undead healing.
09:03:08 Devastator: so external undead healing.
