07:14:17 Kofiman: Dangit. It did sleep the tab.
07:15:01 Egan: didn't see that
syv was in here really :p
07:16:52 Kofiman: Yeah, it's annoying. There are like 8 different power management controls in this system.
07:17:01 Kofiman: and none of them actually say what they do.
07:24:00 Kofiman: no orders in for Extinction, and 2/5 for Quest.
07:25:05 Kofiman: looks like no game needs working on tonight.
07:25:27 Kofiman: I do want to do another Mistakes chapter. In a few hours.
07:26:20 Kofiman: Never mind, it didn't sleep the tab.. until I came back.
07:26:38 Kofiman: and woke the computer up again.
07:27:02 Kofiman: That's weird, but it'll mean I can get messages while not here, which is what I want.
07:28:05 Kofiman: and yeah, I know you're not in quest. You'll be in if someone drops, or if I can go two lands without feeling like there are too many players to update for.
07:28:18 Kofiman: Assuming you still want to join.
07:33:27 Egan: might change my mind about what character I want
07:33:54 Kofiman: between now and then? Yeah, that's pretty much fine.
07:34:01 Kofiman: just let me know whatever you want. Nearly anything goes.
07:34:49 Kofiman: other than the blanket ban on flying.
07:37:24 Egan: better be a fish who flops on land then
07:38:21 Kofiman: Be careful. I might just allow that.
08:06:14 Egan: more likely a cat or something
08:37:29 Kofiman: I'm fully on board with 'fluffy' as a trait. ;-p
08:37:49 syv: Just make all your traits variants on that
08:38:07 syv: "adorable", "fluffy", "affectionate"
08:38:09 Kofiman: It'll come up, but it wont' save your life, so you get the full bonus.
08:38:27 Kofiman: Not sure what I'll do if they all stack. I'll think of something.
08:38:35 syv: Minmax adorability so much it becomes combat viable
08:38:39 Kofiman: but yes, +7 to charisma will never fail.
08:38:51 syv: "I flop around on my belly to distract the enemies"
08:38:55 Kofiman: 'minmax adorability so much it becomes combat viable'
08:39:03 Kofiman: I played that character already. ;-p
08:39:08 GameServ:
syv rolled 1d12: 1 <Total: 1(+7) = 8>
08:39:35 syv: "you flop around adorably and the enemies coo at how cute you are, but unfortunately don't lower their guards"
08:40:00 Kofiman: natural 11s are crits.
08:40:13 Kofiman: I'd probably expand that for points beyond +6, if somehow achieved.
08:40:14 syv: And 10+7 = 17 is still just a regular success?
08:40:24 Kofiman: I'd probably expand that for points beyond +6, if somehow achieved.
08:40:31 Kofiman: so 10+7 would be a crit too.
08:41:34 syv: 12+7 = 19. "You're so adorable the enemy guards immediately drop what they're doing and scoop you up. Then they flee the party, deciding they're adopting you forever. The treasure is no longer guarded, but you're being kidnapped."
08:43:44 Kofiman: There are some creatures that would probably have charisma penalty. The electric ghost-things under the Lonely Sands, for instance.
08:47:06 Kofiman: any idea what to do about the missile robot?
08:47:38 Kofiman: although Irony's kinda in a particularly important bit here.

08:51:39 syv: Unable to do most anything productive
08:53:16 Egan: I've just been catsitting the past few days
08:53:42 Egan: my family went on a trip so I've had nobody to talk to
08:54:06 Egan: would have made sense to take time to play video games but I haven't done that!
08:55:57 Kofiman: although cats are important things.
08:57:32 Kofiman: so catsitting is good.
08:58:51 Egan: usually she just needs me to escort her to the table where her food is
09:00:29 Kofiman: Doesn't like eating alone?
09:02:24 Kofiman: I had a cat like that.
09:02:29 Kofiman: just showed up one day.
09:02:37 Kofiman: the old reddit cat distribution system at work.
09:05:43 syv: ...The office computer has a "silently freeze the monitor and all alarms" button
09:06:04 syv: Near the "disable current alarm" button
09:06:12 syv: Somehow I've never pressed it before to find this out
09:06:26 syv: Why would anyone want this
09:06:58 syv: It doesn't even make any sign it's enabled beyond the current time not updating
09:36:20 syv: Just an easy to hit toggle that makes everything nonfunctional and doesn't -tell- you it broke something
09:36:44 syv: I cannot fathom any use for it
09:37:12 Kofiman: How loud are the alarms?
09:37:28 syv: Loud. But also it's my job to... not ignore the alarms.
09:37:44 syv: There's a separate "make the alarms silent forever" button.
09:37:56 syv: But that at least puts a message onscreen saying they're silent
09:39:28 Kofiman: Yeah, I don't know either.
09:42:14 syv: I bet it's a stray feature some
dev thought might be useful, and threw in
09:45:12 Egan: because it's actively harmful? :p
09:46:08 syv: "Just don't press the buttom"
09:46:23 syv: I don't think we even have a manual for this thing
09:46:31 syv: We have notes of how to do specific things
09:46:39 Kofiman: You don't ahve a manual?
09:46:42 Egan: like it gives you a way to not do your job in a way which is less obvious to your boss than the normal mute
09:46:55 syv: No document that just enumerates everything you can do with the system.
09:51:28 syv: We basically have two manuals. The actual guide to do the job, called the 7900. It deals with both augmented stations like ours, and stations with sensors.
09:51:55 syv: Then we have the poorly-titled "quick reference" which is a big book of notes from... at least four different people who've done the job.
09:52:43 syv: The former has occasional instructions on how to do stuff on the computer (and is digital, so I could search to confirm it doesn't mention this button), and the latter has a lot of detailed but deeply unorganized notes about how to use the computer.
09:53:20 syv: I learn something new about this system ever other year
10:07:48 Egan: hey, it's actually kinda morning now. maybe I should feed the cat :v
10:08:29 Kofiman: Is it the kind of cat that will take food all day every day?
10:10:14 Egan: I'm sure she would but wet food is in the morning
10:10:25 Egan: and the dry stuff is whenever
10:11:56 Kofiman: I could just leave it out for the cat that didn't like eating much.
10:12:03 Kofiman: the fat cat I had before that one was a different story.
10:12:07 Kofiman: got very fat despite that.
10:14:10 syv: Most cats will attempt to become spherical if you always leave food out o.O
10:14:57 Kofiman: well, the first one would totally do that if the chance was given.
10:15:05 Kofiman: second one nope, not at all. Was always skinny.
10:17:53 Kofiman: wouldn't even eat treats.
10:18:15 Kofiman: well, would obviously like treats more, but not much more than food.
10:20:30 Kofiman: despite not making a noise, fat cat would be.. very clear if he needed to get fed.

11:50:19 Kofiman: and updated mistakes. I get to describe the kind of creatures that exist in this world. The stuff that's about a notch or two down from what the world champion should be.
