02:33:48 MidJag: do we want to play that game again?
03:09:33 MidJag: I still like this old XKCD's alt text. "lab creates new life, fault condom blamed"
03:14:19 Devastator: also, is that true?
03:17:36 Devastator: also, a good explain xkcd for the current one.
03:19:33 MidJag: I wish SMBC had a similar thing
03:19:46 Devastator: Xkcd should have an explain page.
03:20:02 Devastator: Both situations provide amusement.
03:20:08 Devastator: so both should exist.
03:20:21 Devastator: and sinch both cannot exist simultaneously for one comic..
03:21:54 Devastator: There's amusement to be had in understanding something few people do, as well as learning something on your own.
03:21:59 Devastator: explain xkcd removes some of that.
03:22:12 Devastator: but explain xkcd also adds amusement in itself.
03:22:29 Devastator: you can't both have and not have an explain xkcd, so one comic should have one and the other should not.
03:23:38 Devastator: I'm also being silly.
03:24:09 MidJag: It is weird how making obscure refrences to science of philisophical things is a whole genre of comics
03:25:48 Devastator: There was Calvin and Hobbes.
03:28:45 MidJag: I loved that when I was a child. It had ended before I was born but my family had all the collections.
03:31:15 Devastator: Calvin and Hobbes was spectacular.
03:33:15 Devastator: One of the finest examples of success through treating your audience as adults.
03:36:30 Devastator: ..another thing I got to experience when it was new.
03:38:30 Devastator: ..also, I don't use the term lightly, but Bill Watterson was an artistic genius.
03:39:45 MidJag: He really was, it's just impressive what he could do in like 3 panels
03:39:59 MidJag: Or however many he used at any one time
03:40:48 Devastator: not only that, it's the kind of genius that was irreplaceable. He made a new contribution to the field of human endeavour, one that could only have been made by him.
03:43:33 Devastator: It was also at the appropriate time. The Apollo Program of comic strips.
03:46:45 Devastator: Is it funny? There's no fundamental difference in my mind between one man's endeavour for a decade and that of a nation. Other than in scale. Both were at the appropriate time, in the appropriate context, and demanding the will and skill of their entire jurisdiction.
03:47:13 MidJag: I mean it's appropriate, just a funny image of a bunch of cartoonists on the moon.
03:48:42 Devastator: we should get started fairly soon.
03:48:47 Devastator: give me a bit. The others can join later.
03:57:20 Devastator: ..the wikipedia page for Calvin and Hobbes is really excellent.
03:57:45 Devastator: I'll bet, sight unseen, that it has never been a featured page or gotten a wiki award, either.
03:57:56 Devastator: as is right and proper.
04:04:25 MidJag: Lemme know when your ready to game?
04:06:10 Devastator: Nope, it was featured for one day in 2004.
04:10:20 MJ:
devastator, I'm just hearing music/the game and not you
04:51:54 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:52:54 MJ: We're trying to get the splenuky death game to work
04:52:57 Devastator: please rescue us from jaggers hell.
04:53:10 MJ: if I try to host a steam lobby my game crashes
04:53:23 syv: Give me a few minutes and I can host
04:53:46 syv: My car has a flat tire >.<
04:58:49 syv: A stray nail found its way into the side, somehow.
06:32:13 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
08:18:20 Devastator: revivify not what you were expecting?
08:18:41 syv: Yeah, like I said, it registers in my mind as a cleric spell
08:19:12 syv: Might be time to pile damage on hi,
08:20:20 Devastator: yeah. Of course, it was a weak spell.
08:20:28 Devastator: I'm dangerously close to having enemy HP totals for this fight.
08:21:33 MJ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
08:27:32 syv: Does debuff poison reduce healing effectiveness?
08:29:43 Devastator: magic attack, yeah.
08:31:42 ER: man, I'm glad that I proposed that game :v
08:34:21 syv: Does Sessha know how expensive revivify is?
08:34:30 syv: Is it a big spell, or relatively cheap?
09:01:03 Devastator: gonna recap the multiple revive mechanics.
09:04:37 syv: I thought it was just another 25% MHP reduction each time
09:06:01 Devastator: I think I've explained them before, but it was years ago.
09:06:55 Devastator: It's also something that can't be gotten around with by Dorren's ring.
09:14:06 Devastator: and as for the clerical healing magic, both Willis and Trence can learn it too.
09:15:47 syv: Can Willis learn Torrents of Unending Pathos healing spells?
09:16:59 Devastator: I'm gonna need simpler words if that's an actual question.
09:17:47 ER: oh hell yeah remalle started an animorphs RTD
09:19:40 syv: Fuck, I'd actually be really interested in that
09:19:47 syv: I'll check it out after work
09:20:09 syv:
Dev, I basically asked if he has proficiency with huge healing apells
09:20:38 syv: You described his affinity for big boom spells with "has an affinity with torrents of ardent pathos" or similar
09:20:41 ER: uses all of his mana to singletarget heal for more than anybody has :p
09:20:41 Devastator: Nah, not really. They'd cost extra MP on him.
09:20:55 Devastator: so he couldn't afford the big ones.
09:21:18 Devastator: his small ones would be pretty potent, like sessha level, but at like double her costs.
09:21:56 ER: anyway I'm somewhat tempted to play as animoph sophia
09:22:24 ER: after all I already have a magical teenager in a modern setting just crying out to be recycled
09:22:54 Devastator: oh, also,
ER, can you let supernerd know if you're dropping ambiguity?
09:25:52 ER: just need to find a way to write that which isn't edgy as fuck
09:31:53 syv: Isn'f Sophia inherently edgy as fuck?
