00:06:28 Topic for #einsteinianroulette: Intergalactic Day of Mourning for 2016 (2016-2016)
00:06:28 Topic set by Remalle!Variety@i2246816zi629tu21.vc.shawcable.net [Tuesday 03 January 2017, 06:26:56]
00:07:08 Devastator: fires can go a while.
00:07:16 Devastator: heya Paris.
00:07:54 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
00:08:04 parisbre56: hello
00:12:03 syv: HEY YOU!
00:12:09 syv: What's with the bot>
00:14:18 parisbre56: I killed the bot
00:14:29 parisbre56: Didn't like it
00:14:33 syv: ...But what was with it?
00:14:52 syv: What'd it do, what was it for?
00:15:06 parisbre56: just a recorder
00:15:13 parisbre56: didn't do anything else
00:16:50 syv: Aww.
00:19:19 Devastator: (syv has bot envy since his went away.)
00:29:06 Devastator: lab time.
00:30:53 Devastator: hmm.
00:30:56 Devastator: 'subject suit'
00:41:21 Devastator: welp, there goes an arm.
00:41:25 Devastator: forgot to have my gun on burst.
00:42:38 syv: Hah.
01:13:09 Devastator: dragon skin vest.
01:13:11 Devastator: yow.
01:13:15 Devastator: 'impossible to repair.'
01:13:28 Devastator: nope, possible.
01:13:40 Devastator: 'you repair your cracked dragon skin vest'
01:14:09 syv: ...Dragonskin as in the terrible idea with the little ceramic plates?
01:14:16 Devastator: apparently.
01:14:26 Devastator: Well, it works, but it is still a terrible idea.
01:14:44 syv: For a moment I was surprised they added dragons and products of their butchery to the game.
01:18:46 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
01:21:06 Devastator: found some fish serum and slime serum.
01:21:11 Devastator: so ER doesn't have his kitty.
01:26:04 syv: Mermaids are more traditional.
01:27:28 syv: ...Though I guess your char's a dude, so he gets Aquaman instead of a catgirl.
01:32:22 Devastator: 1. Toggle Portal. 2. Activate Resonance Cascade.
01:33:19 Devastator pokes syv
01:33:37 syv: What?
01:34:09 Devastator: Which one to do?
01:34:24 syv: I don't think the Resonance Cascade has ever done anything. Was added back in Whales days as a placeholder and never expanded up.
01:34:33 syv: Portal might do something, I'unno.
01:34:39 Devastator: Or maybe it doesn't do anything because someone already did it.
01:34:50 Devastator: Maybe that's the cause of the netherworld invasion part of the multi-cause apocalypse.
01:35:00 syv: In either case I'm pretty sure you may accidentally summon robots if you don't have good computer skills.
01:35:10 Devastator: It's okay, I've done that a few times.
01:35:12 Devastator: Got lots of ammo.
01:35:22 Devastator: and I'm on stimulants.
01:35:56 syv: It is, according to most variants on the lore. But there's always been plans to eventually make it do something if activated.
01:49:17 syv: ...I guess ER never fixed his game.

02:21:41 Devastator: okay, done with the lab.
02:21:44 Devastator: sadly, the finale wasn't that good.
02:22:09 syv: Just otherworld monsters, I'm guessing?
02:22:20 Devastator: Yeah, I couldn't activate the portal.
02:22:23 Devastator: kept failing.
02:22:45 syv: Did you summon robots?
02:22:52 Devastator: lotsa robots.
02:22:54 Devastator: and shot them to pieces.
02:24:07 syv: Hey, that's worth something. Robots drop useful bits.
02:29:35 Devastator: murdered a fungal spire.
02:29:41 Devastator: crystal meth plus a machete.
02:33:05 Devastator: first time ever doing that successfully. Somewhat less than impressive because the meth plus high skills meant I critted and stunned the spire every successful attack.

03:30:51 ER: ...I took a pretty long nap
03:31:19 syv: Indeed.
03:31:25 ER: srry
03:33:35 syv: No worries, I'm not super eager for the game. Mostly only bought it now for you--otherwise I'd wait for a sale.
03:35:42 syv: Did you get it fixed?
03:35:49 ER: welp, I think the only way to fix it all will actually be reinstalling windows, so that might just be what I do.
03:36:21 ER: ...because having a working windows update is pretty important, at least
03:37:15 syv: Yeah. Good luck with that.

03:38:32 syv: That DOES sound like you~
03:39:47 syv: Oh. MoS released a new song just now, foe God of War. It's pretty good, epic rock.
03:41:35 Elasticly_Rigid: Break! Fix! Break! Fix!
03:42:19 syv: Break! Fast! Break! Fast!
03:44:34 Elasticly_Rigid: Bacon eggs dog.
03:45:58 syv: Well that was the fastest I've ever won with control Druid. O.o
03:54:57 Elasticly_Rigid: Here we go.
03:55:34 Elasticly_Rigid: Hopefully this actually fixes anything at all.
03:55:58 syv crosses all of his fingers
04:05:02 Elasticly_Rigid: Oh yeah, and if it works that mean I'll be able to play "the best game ever" Allegiance.
04:05:35 Elasticly_Rigid: PogChamp
04:05:38 syv: Ohhh, such wonder!
04:06:12 syv: I've played A leg, it was certainly something!
04:07:55 Elasticly_Rigid: Quite something ahead therefore praise the sun!
04:08:18 syv: \[T]/
04:08:24 syv: Only four more days!
04:11:33 Elasticly_Rigid: Till like 80% of the player base makes giantdad builds in an attempt to troll the 15% of actual new players? :p
04:15:15 syv: Hey, Giantdads are trivial to counter, specially the joking ones. I'm all for that.
04:17:36 syv: ...Also, they apparently fixed dead angling, which significantly reduces the effevtiveness of giantdads and ultra greatswords in general. :(
04:17:45 syv: Oh all the bugs the fix...
04:17:51 syv: *Of all
04:30:08 Devastator: oh well. Tomorrow, I'm going to find some fuel and create a doommobile. There's a military outpost out there, which should provide sufficient raw materials.
04:39:06 Elasticly_Rigid: Shiva of the East more like Shiva the deceased
04:42:16 Devastator: Doommobiles make me happy.
04:44:10 Devastator: and I'm like 3% experience away from being able to make steel plating, which is where they get fun.
04:44:29 Elasticly_Rigid: Wut rings u got
04:56:33 Elasticly_Rigid: My thing is still at 18% and I'm now BORED.
05:00:30 Elasticly_Rigid: Please tell me that you're actually doing anything, windows installer.
05:01:14 Elasticly_Rigid: I'd like to have an installation of windows at the end of this.
05:03:36 Elasticly_Rigid: Ah, the number changed!
05:03:58 Elasticly_Rigid: 33%, exciting.
05:04:11 Elasticly_Rigid: I am now fine being excited.
05:04:21 Devastator: Heh.
05:04:28 Elasticly_Rigid: *done
05:04:55 Elasticly_Rigid: Damn you autocorrect.

05:26:31 Elasticly_Rigid: FORCE
05:27:26 Devastator: It's quite good, actually.
05:34:03 Elasticly_Rigid: Argh, how long has it been since the last update for P&P and why haven't I taken at least like 15 minutes to write it yet in all that time.
05:35:01 Elasticly_Rigid: I'll never earn the right to run two interesting games at once if I never update when I have just one.
05:51:58 Elasticly_Rigid is now known as ER
06:31:50 Devastator: I wonder how many cats cat master breeds.
06:39:59 syv: ...What?
06:40:20 syv: Ohh, what quantity of felines "cat master" breeds. I understand now.
06:40:35 syv: Garden path sentence...
06:49:32 Devastator: Heh.
06:52:18 ER: Cat Master, the mastereiest of cats

07:06:04 ER: ... Did I remove the sticker with the windows product key from my computer case?
07:06:09 ER: Why.
07:06:33 Devastator: madness?
07:06:42 Devastator: yay, you're going to have to make a phone call.
07:09:15 ER: [Screams externally]
07:11:17 Devastator: [Screams Eternally.]
07:12:48 ER: I took the sticker off the box, put it on my case, and presumably later decided it was an eyesore and tore it off.
07:13:06 ER: I can SEE where it used to be.
07:15:50 Devastator: Ouch.

07:31:39 syv: Well, it might fix your problem.
07:33:21 ER: only $120, and you can turn off the spyware! probably.

08:04:58 Elastic_Ridicule: well, I have to wait for these updates to install at least

16:02:01 Devastator: Ahh, legalizing marijuana and criminalizing sugary drinks.
16:02:16 ER: SeemsGood
16:03:04 ER: Hmm, yeah weed is probably still more harmful than a bunch of suger
16:04:46 Devastator: Also, your brain runs on sugar.
16:05:17 ER: Ha, not just the brain.
16:06:08 Devastator: Well, no, but the brain exclusively runs on sugar.
16:06:51 ER: like it requires your body to make sucrose or something?
16:07:15 Devastator: Yeah, if you somehow don't eat any.
16:41:46 Devastator: I wish I coulda helped you with those computer issues.
16:42:14 ER: ye have a spare copy of windows? :P
16:43:14 Devastator: I've done that sort of thing professionally.
16:44:09 Devastator: I think I might have been able to round someone up with an OEM key.
16:44:16 Devastator: if that's what was needed.
17:10:19 Devastator: Should force syv to watch ONE PUNCH MAN.
17:11:00 ER: what a coincidence https://youtu.be/mtqBHlqtF0E
17:23:17 Devastator: takes too long.
17:31:40 ER: oh hey, dwarves can have little character arcs now, that's cute.
17:33:59 ER: So now they'll remember the things that happen to them, get mood changes from reminiscing on these things, and after a year or two that memory will change to something less intense but also change the dwarf's personality a little.
17:34:09 ER: which is heckin sweet, actually.
20:23:29 ER: Oh hell, this is perfect.
20:23:54 ER: I can actually have a phantom Leng that shoots anyone who gets out of their armor.
21:12:59 Devastator: Hmm?
21:13:05 Devastator: Booo.
21:13:14 Devastator: I like my stubborn crazy dwarves.
21:13:16 ER: Especially you
21:13:34 Devastator: They're just more dwarven that way.
21:14:30 Devastator: leave the changeability to humans and elves.
21:16:07 Devastator: anyone die in P&P?
21:17:34 ER: Kinda.
21:18:27 Devastator: Anyone no longer capable of taking actions?
21:19:31 ER: Depends if they go for it!
21:20:15 Devastator: so.. no deaths then.
21:24:19 ER: I'd say it was a close thing.
21:25:24 ER: I rolled the one "kill the mage for sure" Push result, but it's more fun to make things get weird, especially because it fits the situation.
21:26:06 ER: And it's a good excuse to write a fun teleportation sequence.
21:28:46 Devastator: Heh.
21:28:53 Devastator: well, next time don't push when it doesn't matter?
21:29:37 ER: That was firmly a thing that wouldn't be doable without a push.
21:30:33 Devastator: yeah.. but maybe she should have done something smart, like teleporting an enemy grenade to her and then blinking away from it.
21:31:45 ER: The pattern of this mission was the mages reacting rather than being agressive and proactive and the mechs... bringing explosives.
21:31:53 ER: That's pretty much it.
21:32:39 ER: I'm mystified that apparantly nobody thought to bring explosives to fight the armored robots.
21:33:08 Devastator: or spread out to make an ambush.
21:33:15 Devastator: clumping together isn't how you do ambushes.
21:34:10 Devastator: Plus if the mechs had some incoming fire they wouldn't have been able to take easy potshots like that.
21:34:15 ER: Hey, I won't fault them for attempting to help the fallen. It might not be *clever*, but it's what people would do and is fun.
21:34:36 Devastator: It's the classic dumb move, but yes, people do it.
21:34:41 Devastator: and they train it out of you in the army.
21:35:08 ER: Nobody ever really said" Okay, I'm going to make it my first priority to get to real cover"
21:35:47 ER: And I said that the landscape had very little cover, so bam, they didn't have any cover at all from the gal with the grenade launcher.
21:37:40 Devastator: Gotta spread out, at the very least.
21:49:39 Devastator: fuck.
21:49:47 Devastator: my cataclysm vehicle disappeared upon loading.
21:49:53 Devastator: It gave some kinda error message.
21:52:51 Devastator: I had a truly insane amount of stuff in it.
21:53:13 Devastator: Is there any way to cheat up some replacement items?
21:56:07 Devastator: maybe it's where I closed it at not where I am now. I think I forgot to save it.
21:56:30 Devastator: That wasn't far so I'll just head that way.
21:57:23 Devastator: yeah, there it is. Odd.

23:01:27 Radio_Controlled: Good evening you mediocre fried shrimp.
23:01:41 ER: g'evnin
23:02:01 Radio_Controlled: Funny running into you here.
23:02:03 Radio_Controlled: So.
23:02:06 Radio_Controlled: First missioin.
23:02:12 Radio_Controlled: That... happened. :v
23:02:20 ER: So I heard.
23:03:06 ER: In fact I think I might be the one who started the rumor in the first place.
23:03:07 Radio_Controlled: Did the mission go how you expected? Game running as it should?
23:04:15 ER: Well I dunno what I expected, but compared to what I hoped for there was a notable lack of compatant wizards~
23:04:40 Radio_Controlled: Well, maybe they just had bad dice luck?
23:05:00 ER: As for how the game *should* run, there would be more updates ideally.
23:05:03 Radio_Controlled: And the terrain did sort of favor us this time over. Even then, the blue one really did a number on us.
23:05:28 Radio_Controlled: Well, I had quite a bit of fun already, but yeah, that'd be my main 'complaint' right now.
23:05:33 Devastator: hey RC.
23:05:36 Devastator: tank drone happened.
23:05:43 ER: The blue one wasn't even trying to hit you very hard, but she overshot.
23:05:46 Radio_Controlled: Maybe it would help if you tried to set up a sort of update schedule?
23:05:49 Devastator: next time they shouldn't bunch up.
23:06:21 Radio_Controlled: Actually bunching up helped me somewhat. Also, we weren't aware we had spawned so bunched up, but it's something to keep in mind for sure.
23:06:44 Radio_Controlled: First mission is over by the way, dev.
23:06:47 Devastator: Yeah.
23:07:07 ER: Oi, you didn't spwan, you were traveling. People tend to travel together unless there's a reason not to. :V
23:07:12 Radio_Controlled: Mages seemed to have... just disappeared somehow?
23:07:26 Radio_Controlled: Yeah, it's fair, I'll try to keep it in mind.
23:07:50 Radio_Controlled: We also learned things like explicitly entering combat mode or we lose a turn of shooting, and some other lessons.
23:07:52 Devastator: still, you guys certainly didn't spread out much.
23:08:01 Devastator: that is, the mages.
23:08:09 Radio_Controlled: We did have to defend our tanker though.
23:11:10 Radio_Controlled: So the first match went for us, but it seems we might not be getting any upgrade opportunities from it, so in effect both sides just got a good look at each other and their capabilities.
23:11:40 Radio_Controlled: In that respect the mages probably got a better idea of our mechs than we did of them, but we still learned some things.
23:11:46 Devastator: so dead in Cata. Tank drone happened.
23:17:52 Radio_Controlled: Not entirely sure who would have won if the match had gone on though. We were down a pilot (the one with the most firepower even) but the mages were close to each other so that might have allowed us to hit a few of them at once.
23:18:19 Devastator: Coulda went either way, IMO.
23:18:30 Devastator: damage was pretty equal.
23:18:54 Radio_Controlled: Yeah, though ours was more focused which tends to be better in these matches.
23:19:27 Radio_Controlled: But Leaf getting himself knocked out due to a bad roll could have tipped to balance in their favor again.
23:19:56 Radio_Controlled: At least we can still say that the mech faction took out more mech pilots than the mages. :p
23:21:23 Devastator: All own-goal, really..
23:21:33 Radio_Controlled: Bad rolls be bad.
23:21:44 Devastator: Yup.
23:22:13 Radio_Controlled: I mean, a [1] is something that will fucks things up, especially if it comes at a bad time.
23:22:46 ER: Leaf broke his eyes, Leng went and got stranded in another plane of existance.
23:22:58 Radio_Controlled: Not much to do to improve in that specific regard, outside of maybe getting a relevant skill.
23:23:32 Radio_Controlled: Wait, so Leng is stranded? Does that mean that we 'technically' took out at least one mage?
23:24:34 ER: No, it means she did.
23:24:50 Radio_Controlled: Dangit.
23:28:50 Devastator: yeah, self-destruct.
23:29:21 Devastator: Probably grade it a -1/-1 draw.
23:32:41 Devastator: -1/0 if Leng says she's dead. ;-p
23:36:12 Radio_Controlled: We made some mistakes, but overall there wasn't much room for complicated tactics beyond just shooting at them.
23:36:33 Radio_Controlled: We have one mage player seemingly thinking this match proves mechs are OP though, so yay us.
23:37:06 Devastator: eh, hard to say again.
23:37:14 Devastator: damage was about equal and you had one more mech.
23:44:52 Radio_Controlled: The npc mech wasn't for combat though.
23:46:05 ER: Also I found that I'd built a character I didn't really want to play there and it'd feel weird with all the extra information I get to actaully use him like that.
23:50:30 Radio_Controlled: So what's the next step now? We wait for Leng to unfuck herself and get ready for round two?
23:52:32 ER: Yub
23:54:25 ER: "And the one universal rule of video game distribution is still in effect: Valve has no gosh danged idea what they’re doing."
23:55:32 Devastator: Nah, have Leng make a new character since her old one is dead and do round 2.
23:56:10 ER: You just said that nobody died
23:56:19 ER: have some consistancy, man! ;P
23:58:20 Devastator: Leng says nobody died. I'm thinking she self-destructed. ;-p
23:58:39 Devastator: because one implies she made a mistake. ;-p
23:59:09 Radio_Controlled: Even if we end up getting nothing for our success in the mission, would something like a cosmetic change to our mech be acceptable?
23:59:15 ER: we don't make mistakes, we just make happy little accidents
23:59:31 Radio_Controlled: Bob Ross is a mage?!?
