06:50:58 sy: Tempted to try and track the car using death sense, but it's not really meant for that..
06:51:38 Devastator: it's also not dead and you can't touch it.
06:51:43 Devastator: I"m restricting it to things you can touch.
06:53:50 Devastator: the ritual dagger, right?
06:56:07 sy: Uh, no. The dagger used with the greatsword.
07:02:38 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:07:20 MidJag: Not bad. Watching my little brother play skyrim.
07:07:22 sy: Playing DS3 online right now
07:08:18 Devastator: looks like we got some forum newbies.
07:09:03 MidJag: I want my damn reagents~ but since that's impossilbe I don't want much
07:10:10 Devastator: also dragonkid got knocked down.
07:11:15 Devastator: yeah, been some new people about.
07:14:37 Devastator: dunno if I told you but played a bit of release MoO3.
07:14:49 Devastator: it really is true that every complex feature is nonfunctional for some reason.
07:15:49 Devastator: yeah, the third master of orion game.
07:18:32 syv: Does the game just evolve into kicking enemies with a big shoe?
07:19:28 Devastator: well, the last issue I ran into was having an unexplained revolt on my home planet.
07:19:38 Devastator: which lead to a food shortage which caused every other planet in my empire to revolt.
07:20:08 Devastator: which in turn caused people on all those planets to flee to like 12 nearby explored planets and set up mini-colonies, saving me colony ships.
07:20:58 MidJag: So your accidently machiaveli
07:21:04 syv: That sounds broken in a fascinatingly exploitable way
07:21:19 Devastator: ..which made the food situation worse, because those need food imports too. And the ones who fled to uninhabitable planets which cost tons of money to pay for said domes for like 23 million people.
07:21:41 syv: Can you not let them just die?
07:21:57 Devastator: nor can you send actual colony ships to turn them into full colonies.
07:22:51 Devastator: Just be glad I'm still a one-race empire. Once you conquer someone and have more than one species, they start moving about, which usually means you get like enclaves of species that are very much not compatible with one planet living on it.
07:23:39 Devastator: "Well, this planet is perfect for X, but this region of fertile plains is settled by gasbags who find it toxic and can't grow food."
07:24:32 Devastator: One of the species actually eats people, so they deliberately move to other planets to eat the inhabitants and make it a useless colony.
07:24:56 Devastator: although, luckily with them, you can give explicit orders to not let them do that.
07:25:06 Devastator: unless you're playing as them.
07:28:57 Devastator: the thing is, everyone is well-behaved, but you have a button that lets you encourage people to immigrate to a colony.
07:29:18 Devastator: This is useful if you have like a colony with bad pollution issues or some other special that makes it difficult to grow pop, but you want to develop there anyway.
07:29:45 Devastator: As soon as you encourage immigration to any colony anywhere, people start moving around quite a lot more.
07:29:53 Devastator: I don't know why this is.
07:32:37 Devastator: another game set in Glorantha?
07:33:23 Devastator: Yeah. It's some kind of tabletop setting.
07:34:13 MidJag: I do like bronze age stuff
07:34:39 Devastator: hey, early iron age!
07:37:24 MidJag: This does seem like an intresting setting, like unreal world crossed with a shit ton of halluciongenics
07:40:30 Devastator: watch out for the flying heroes.
07:40:35 Devastator: and how literally everything is a dragon.
07:42:37 Devastator: well, no you don't.
07:42:40 Devastator: it just looks like a hill.
07:42:59 MidJag: and is actaully a dragon?
07:43:07 Devastator: 2400 years from now, that dragon will awaken for a day, create a 'spirit dragon' that burns everything around it down. Then it goes to sleep again.
07:43:28 Devastator: apply that to literally every feature up to and including the universe itself.
07:44:02 MidJag: Sounds like fun, a world that plays by some strange internal logic that you don't understand
07:44:45 Devastator: also you can fuck with the gods by screwing up their heroquests repeatedly.
07:45:10 Devastator: if you screw them up in the right way, but succeed anyway, often enough, the backstory will change to match your screwups.
07:45:19 Devastator: backstory, powersets, etc.
07:45:35 Devastator: Some empire did that on an industrial scale, but fucked it up.
07:46:18 Devastator: they made two agriculture goddesses into sisters, but it ended up screwing up their food crop.
07:46:30 Devastator: got the wrong stuff for the wrong climate now.
07:46:58 Devastator: ended up dying horribly in unclear disasters that aren't well explained.
07:47:03 Devastator: standard adventuring hooks.
07:52:41 syv: That was a _twenty minute_ invasion
07:53:07 syv: Will dxplain after was goos
07:56:26 syv: Yeah, so, invaded a guy with no friendly summons, and a total of *four* hostiles, including myself.
07:56:56 syv: The others weren't attacking him much, and he cast warmth (heals everyone), which made them ne nice. I didn't attack, not sure what was going on.
07:58:26 syv: He started going around his world, killing basic enemies, with everyone following and helping in the small ways invaders can. Didn't *need* help, but hey. Eventually we all gathered around a warmth spell in the now-clear central plaza. And mostly just emoted for a bit, until some people started trying to practice parries. I unequipped my sword to hit with my fist, which does neglible damage, and can be parried.
07:59:00 syv: Eventually took enough damage to step away, and leave the game idle while I regenned, the others screwing around. A couple phantoms left, a couple new ones invaded.
07:59:50 syv: Eventually, one actually seemed *committed* to killing the host, and the other reds offered only token resistance. I protected the new guy a little, trying to make it seem like "Solaire just wants everyone to be friends! So he's blocking attacks!"
08:00:35 syv: ...Until he got the host down to about half health, when I swapped to hornet ring (I'd been using a blessed backstab dagger the entire time for passive healing) and backstabbed the host. Winning the invasion, and getting my first success reward of the night.
08:01:29 syv: And then the next invasion I had was literally free. Host was doing PvE so I tried to bodyblock some of the enemies to help him out... and he still died, giving me the reward. :P
08:03:32 MidJag: I see, well I should go to bed. For it is late
09:23:38 Devastator: that run of Doomrl I linked earlier features a guy getting Shottyman and Gunrunner in the same game.
09:24:02 Devastator: shottyman means that the guy can reload any shotgun or missile launcher for free when moving.
09:24:23 Devastator: gunrunner means you get to fire a loaded gun in no time when moving.
09:24:45 syv: Yeah, I gravitated towards those in DoomRL. Dodging seemed very strong.
09:24:54 Devastator: It's not my cup of tea at all.
09:24:58 Devastator: but it's fun to watch.
09:25:00 syv: And I don't really like the fiddly corner shooting with the shotty.
09:26:34 Devastator: still, it's nice watching someone very very good.
09:27:28 Devastator: plus going for any Angelic badges..
09:33:06 syv: I can't beat the game *without* any of the challenges :v
09:36:26 Devastator: I've had a few wins. None on UV. 4 on HMP.
09:37:47 syv: "It's not my cup of tea." "I've won four times."
09:38:22 Devastator: I meant Gunrunner + Shottyman.
09:40:05 Devastator: I made Hell Baron 2nd Lieutenant, and I think the best thing I've won is the platinum badge for an under ten minute completion.
09:44:45 Devastator: I'm one silver badge from making 1 Lt.
09:47:31 Devastator: I was trying Angel of Red Alert runs, but kept screwing up. The usual issue is that I like to wear armour too much. ;-p
09:51:08 syv: Taking runner perks without armor seems like a very good way to do red alert.
09:52:30 Devastator: Yeah. But I'm not much good with runner. I have my own style.
09:52:42 Devastator: looking at what assemblies I've made makes it obvious. ;-p
09:54:06 Devastator: (3 assault rifles, 3 burst cannons, 4 hyperblasters, 3 tactical rocket launchers.
09:54:58 syv: Don't recall the assemblies very well. Lots of chainfire weapons...? Was that even the term?
09:55:11 Devastator: lots of multi-shot weapons, yeah.
09:55:23 Devastator: good guns for people who like to stand around and shoot.
