00:10:39 Egan: when I made this one I reached a point where I thought I would have to remove the whole motherboard again to fiddle with something on the otherside, and only after I realized that my case just has a handy little hole to let me get back there WITHOUT undoing and then redoing a bunch of work
00:10:58 Devastator: Yeah. Stupid giant-ass video card.
00:11:16 Devastator: everything's neat enough, but ugh.
00:12:42 Egan: video cards are real chonkers
00:13:17 Devastator: Yeah. This one's a real biggun.
00:13:26 Devastator: never would have bought one this high end if I didn't get a good deal on it.
00:14:14 Devastator: This one was cheap enough it's making me wonder if it was stolen.
00:14:53 Devastator: I bought it for a bit less than half the price it is on Amazon.

02:22:56 Devastator: finished the build, but too tired to do the install. Should be all ready tomorrow.
02:23:35 syv: Not tonight, then. That's fine.
02:23:38 Devastator: Yeah, the plan was to do stuff tomorrow anyway.
02:24:48 syv: I might not be free in 24 hours time.
02:24:55 syv: I should be good next weekend though
02:25:32 Devastator: well, so it goes then. I'll be free all next week, really.
02:26:35 Devastator: and gotta write another chapter.
02:31:59 syv: I'll prolly be around to play DRG.
02:32:34 Devastator: I just missed the Hell Arena Key by a miskey.

04:01:15 syv has quit [Quit: Thanks, Musk. -.-]
04:37:06 Devastator: someone wrote a 9 update fanfic that managed to acquire over 100 fan-written omakes.
04:37:10 Devastator: I have no idea how that happened.
04:41:02 Devastator: no, over 200 of them.
04:42:03 Devastator: someone who is a fan writes their own episode.
04:42:13 Devastator: or someone who is writing the actual thing writes a non-canon episode.
04:45:32 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:46:16 syv: It actually works out that you don't have stuff working today
04:46:26 syv: Very heavy storming and a tornado warning
04:46:55 syv: So I'm not available reallu
06:24:35 Devastator: splitting up in Quest, eh? Well, that's fine.
06:29:12 Devastator: I'll send the gnome with the larger group.
06:29:16 Devastator: after we game tomorrow.
07:01:45 Egan has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
07:09:51 syv: ...Again, very much can't promise I'll be around tomorrow.
07:10:22 syv: We have an inspection on Monday.
07:11:06 Devastator: There is absolutely no hurry where I'm concerned.

08:09:51 Devastator: gaming's off tonight,
syv's got to deal with tornados and such.
08:10:06 syv: I'm actually clear of it now
08:10:15 syv: Only mild rain and overcast skies
08:10:48 syv: How's your drunkeness doing?
08:11:10 syv: I'm assuming you weren't looking to play DRG at 3 AM
08:11:27 MJ: Decent enough. I was at my dads Christmas party and then we went out to a bar were I saw a bunch of fucking high school people
08:12:24 syv: ...You mean they were underaged and that's surprising, not that they were having sex, right?
08:12:25 MJ: And there I met a girl who is such a negative stereotype of democratic women I assume she is some genetic facsimile of liberals cooked up in some GOO labs to induce people to vote republican out of blind annoyance
08:12:50 MJ: I actually meant people I knew in high school
08:13:48 Devastator: You're in 'bama now, right?
08:13:53 MJ: She works for one of the big three consultant companies and constantly complains about capitalism while talking about how much she loves her job.
08:14:43 Devastator: You can be a beneficial consultant and hate capitalism, but I've only met a couple people like that.
08:14:50 Devastator: there's a fair number in the IT industry.
08:14:57 MJ: I assure you she is not that
08:15:22 MJ: I also just dislike consultants as a group.
08:16:12 Devastator: it's a broad label.
08:16:19 Devastator: it's like 'lawyer'.
08:22:46 MJ: That is quite the thing
dev
08:23:19 MJ: So the guys power is just manipulation? IE like controls his own flesh and keeps other as puppets
08:25:54 Devastator: no, this is weirder than that.
08:26:19 Devastator: as someone described it, "Congratulations, someone managed to hit the high-score in hard to do PR for superpowers."
08:26:21 MJ: Is he just the thing combined with mind control if they interact with him physically?
08:27:05 Devastator: the OC is "I have a shoggoth inside me, which comes out of breaks in the skin, along with secondary powers to allow self-harm."
08:27:15 Devastator: it is literally the worst possible power to do PR for.
08:27:34 MJ: That sounds less than ideal.
08:27:58 Devastator: It's quite the powerset, but it's mostly comedy-style crackfic. It's interesting.
08:29:28 Devastator: I'm pretty impressed at how nonchalant you are.
08:29:32 Devastator: Although I'm not really surprised.
08:29:59 MJ: I mean I dunno I’m pretty nonchalant about most things
08:30:05 syv: Body horror cannot phase him
08:30:52 Devastator: For the record,
syv, 'Hi, I stored the superhero I was fighting in my otherdimensional pocket dimension by doing an amputation Y-cut while shoving the body around via my tentacles.'
08:31:13 Devastator: I gotta say, I'm impresed by
MJ there.
08:31:35 Devastator: That's up there with swamps of dagobah surgeon.
08:31:50 syv: Okay, yeah, he has a realy nonchalant reaction to that
08:34:10 Devastator: also, another secondary power is 'the MC is incapable of understanding how fucked up this all is.'
08:34:25 Devastator: so the description is super dry.
08:34:30 MJ: Maybe I have that power as well.
08:35:54 MJ: Oh yeah funny thing I was at my dad’s partners party and I was roughly average height.
08:36:14 MJ: Because ortho surgeons are huge.
08:36:26 Devastator: Submit and become one!
08:37:01 syv: You would make a good ortho
08:37:03 MJ: I honestly don’t want to do ortho because my dad is entirely too good at it, and I don’t want to have to compete with him.
08:37:45 MJ: When the insurance company forces him to
08:38:55 MJ: So probably 5-10 years from now
08:40:37 MJ: But then I still have to deal with his reputation if I’m in the south east.
08:40:57 MJ: Though if I’m north east I’ll probably be fine
08:41:32 syv: I'd think his reputation would help?
08:41:42 syv: "Well, Krauss just retired, but you could see Krauss instead.:
08:42:36 Devastator: You're probably fine, I think the chinese scraper isn't working on it anymore.
08:43:29 MJ: If some very attractive Chinese lady shows up at my lab and wants to get to know me better I’m blaming you
syv
08:44:06 syv: It's not the chinese scraper you need to worry about, it's the ChatGPT scraper
08:44:19 syv: But there's a good counter to that
08:44:29 syv: Just chant "SolidGoldMagikarp" five times fast
08:45:18 MJ: Oh I was just going to talk about tienman square and see if that worked
08:45:39 Devastator: That does help, yes.
08:46:10 syv: SolidGoldMagikarp was run over by a tank at tianneman square also free hong kong
08:46:12 MJ: Free Hong Kong revolution of our time
08:46:20 MJ: Five demands and not one less
08:47:29 Devastator: Actually, in all honesty there are specific statements you can say in Chinese to keep stuff hidden.
08:47:43 MJ: Ah well, I’ve definetly given enough information over time to dox myself anyway
08:47:55 Devastator: Because seeing them requires reporting, so if someone is reading a chatlog with the stuff in it they have to stop and pass it up the chain.
08:52:13 MJ: I should just festoon my lab notes with those phrases.
08:52:51 MJ: Though I already have Free Hong Kong in my notes
08:54:32 Devastator: okay. Goodnight jaggers.
