00:59:57 Devastator: agp update starting.
01:00:09 Devastator: (at least supposedly.)
03:28:27 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:31:44 ER: I was reticulating splines but then I started watching a guy play dead space and that's entertaining enough to distact me.
03:33:13 Devastator: reticulating splines.
03:34:16 syv:
ER, you going to be around tonight to watch John Wick with
Dev,
MJ, and I?
03:34:39 syv: And by tonight I mean "In 23 hours"?
03:34:52 Devastator: I thought it would be like in 8 hours.
03:35:13 syv: No,
MJ and
ER are asleep in 8 hours.
03:35:16 ER: It's only 11:30, it's still saterday night you fool! :P
03:35:57 syv: I woke up an hour ago, time is an alien concept to me.
03:37:54 syv: Damn, I did say "in 24 hours" when I told
Dev.
03:38:30 syv: Weird, since I specifically remember using the calculator to do basic subtraction, specifically to ensure I couldn't get that wrong. >.<
03:39:46 ER: basic subtraction: bests
syv.
03:43:44 Devastator: I thought you did hours because you were desperately afraid of this happening. ;-p
03:43:51 ER: still need a torrent for that, actually
03:44:35 Devastator: Is this guy nerdier than the other two we've discussed,
syv?
03:46:58 syv: I do,
Dev! It's way easier to screw up time zone conversion than how many hours until the time. Just, both are above me.
03:52:45 syv: I don't think so,
Dev. That looks to be merely optimal play of SimCity, whereas escaping intentional self-softlocks and Jumpman with 0.5 A-presses are both optimal play in a deliberately insane scenario.
03:53:28 Devastator: I don't think that's very optimal, really.
03:53:40 syv: Though maybe the second half of the video reveals something. Like an explanation as to why the vid is spoopy.
03:54:26 Devastator: Because the guy spent three years and made a half-assed result? ;-p
03:54:40 Devastator: Here's a hint, if it's aesthetically pleasing, it's not optimal. Optimal is messy.
03:54:42 syv: Isn't maintaining a huge number of citizens pretty much the point of SimCity, inasmuch as there *is* a point?
03:55:18 syv: It looked geometric, which seems reasonable optimal for a grid game like SimCity.
03:56:11 syv: Plus, if he did a bad job, then he fails by default. Both of the other nerds were doing an excellent job while utterly wasting their time.
03:56:20 ER: Hey
dev, K6BD just murderized somewhere between 1 and 4 reader design characters. :P
03:57:06 ER: Nxor shot in the eye and the "head", very likely dead.
03:57:23 Devastator: looks like a 1 to me.
03:57:27 Devastator: the others should live easily.
03:57:34 syv: "very likely" -> Will come back to save the day as a future deus ex machine.
03:57:39 ER: Charon shot twice in his more "armored" part, arm severed, tail severed, probably dead.
03:58:12 ER: Catmaster lost and arm and maybe took a second pellet to another arm, maybe dead.
03:58:35 Devastator: Pfft, I bet Catmaster isn't even slowed down.
03:59:08 ER: Catmaster is very much the reader fave here, and the one who's least superdead in this situation.
03:59:58 ER: Bearing in mind that Oscar is still standing, tried to murder EVERYONE, and is pretty much a main character, and thus doesn't care when shot through the body multiple times.
04:00:43 Devastator: oh well, back to Spess Rangers.
04:00:44 ER: Honestly the framing makes most sense if that's a 4/4, "bad man" wins by shooting first.
04:02:02 ER: Certainly looks like "critical success with a shotgun"
04:02:50 ER: thing's a single barrel, yet it looks like a single pellet is enough to explode a head. OP
04:04:22 syv: "Bad Man", a 4/4 for 5 with charge...
04:04:41 syv: Did you see the torrent,
ER?
04:06:17 syv: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:6F87A42CEAB96E3542131E7A2062E0D02FBF44C7&dn=John.Wick.2014.720p.BluRay.x264-NeZu&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337
04:08:24 syv: Huh. Twin sent me an apology for not posting, thinking that's why I haven't updated. When I haven't updated mostly due to being tired and not feeling like it. Hello guilt my old friend.
04:13:09 syv: Oh, I beat Asha in Iji,
ER.
04:13:37 syv: I expected her to just whine at me, but no, apparently this Asha is hyper-innocent.
04:13:59 ER: That one's actually a guy. :P
04:14:15 syv: Guys can't be magical girls, silly.
04:14:40 ER: Similar fights as normal enemies from here on, and Asha fights you again near the end of the game.
04:15:38 syv: There needs to be more teleport spam enemies in videogames. I wish Dark Souls had a teleport spam boss.
04:21:02 ER: In dark souls? That sounds downright nightmarish.
04:22:12 syv: As long as they can't backstab, it shouldn't be too bad. You get i-frames on rolls, and if there's a sound effect to the teleport youould learn to dodge without seeing exactly where they appear.
04:23:15 syv: It would be a good shakeup to the formula; positioning and spacing become irrelevant, and prediction becomes paramount. Not necessarily a good fight in itself, but good for being very different.
04:23:43 syv cancels the backstabs with thorn gauntlet flips.
04:23:55 syv: *thorn gauntlet barrel flips.
04:23:59 ER: If it breaks lockon and appears at a random angle, it would be fun to train parries on.
04:29:11 ER: oh man that crow looks so excited when the cats start fighting.
04:29:53 ER: You know it's an intelegent species when they antagonize deadly predators for fun, and *succeed*
04:30:41 Devastator: crows are just jerks.
04:30:47 syv: It's a pity that we're not dinosaurs.
04:30:48 Devastator: I saw one picking a fight with a hawk last year.
04:31:01 syv: They're just fowl creatures.
04:31:21 syv: I had a chicken pluck out a sick cat's eye once.
04:32:22 syv: Yes, and they're also assholes. Assholes who are deceptively good at dodging kicks.
04:32:25 ER: Probably didn't notice the thing it was pecking at was a living creature with claws. :P
04:32:52 ER: But yeah, dinosaurs. They're fucking jerks.
04:34:02 ER: I bet that one scene in jurrassic park where they're like "not all dinosaurs will eat you" is wrong and if you went back in time every single dinosaur would murder you on principle, because birds are jerks.
04:36:24 Devastator: Actually, that hawk was pretty chill.
04:39:01 Devastator: Think I'm going to be off.
04:42:56 ER: oh yeah, now that I've gotten you to play Iji, how much of Unsounded have you read at this point? :P
04:45:04 syv: Is it a priority to finish?
04:46:40 ER: you still haven't finished chapter 10, yes?
04:47:36 ER: gotta see them silver eels man
04:47:59 syv: Page is still the cover of C10, yes.
04:48:15 syv: Plenty of blood eels coming from the silver cart...
04:50:06 ER: 10 is constant escalation, 11 makes like it's gonna calm down then it just starts escalating again, then 12 and 13 kinda just exist in a state of calm panic.
04:52:24 ER: Eh, I dunno, I'm pretty much just standing by my position that the whole thing's good and you aught to get around to reading the rest sometime.
04:53:29 syv: Just the same way you will update Pride & Prejudice, eventually.
04:53:48 ER: Area of operations is a very large deciduous rainforest. On the southeast edge of the forest is a very open savanna area.
04:53:48 ER: At the border between these two biomes the homeworlders have set up a decent base, defended by maybe a platoon of infantry, with static mounted machineguns. This base receives supplies directly from the mothership, via a supply route leading east.
04:53:48 ER: About 13 kilometers north northeast, inside the forest, is a smaller FOB operated by the homeworlders. It receives supplies from the larger base. Over the past few days, native forces have harassed any attempt to deliver supplies to this base, using small arms and mortars.
04:53:48 ER: The forest itself is, of course, highly vegetated, and as it's currently spring the trees are covered in leaves, limiting visibility farther. A basic path has been blazed between the two bases wide enough for a large mech to pass without knocking down any trees, but otherwise
05:47:40 syv: Humans should have four thumbs.
05:48:38 syv: And 360° vision, and upscaled jumping spider eyes, and a brain inside the ribcage, and shark teeth, and no hair. Hair is stupid, from a practical standpoint.
05:49:41 ER: Screw those shark teeth tho, I like my omnivore life
05:50:06 syv: Some sort of natural knife somewhere would be good too. Maybe the shark teeth would work. All our hard bits are way way too blunt, it's stupid.
05:50:29 ER: Really rather keep my brain outside my body than in my center-mass, too.
05:50:59 syv: But it's so vulnerable up there.
05:51:22 ER: Imagine a toddler with a steak knife glued to its elbow. If we had sharp bits like that none of us would live to adulthood.
05:51:35 syv: And it's where our other vitals are, it would help to keep you conscious longer upon receiving grievous injury.
05:51:52 syv: Then the knives grow in with puberty, or something.
05:52:08 syv: Teenagers usually have easy access to knives, it wouldn't change much.
05:52:10 ER: It lets someone go and kill me but in a way that they can save me later. A survival skill.
05:53:32 ER: But really what I mean by brain outside the body is "behind 13 layers of armor, 13 kilometers away, under a kile of bedrock" :V
05:54:15 syv: What's a kile, anyway? The average of a mile and a kilometer, like Felcius?
05:58:30 ER: And hey, at that point I may as well make my robot bodies specifically for either asthetic quality or excellence at specific tasks, meaning that I don't REALLY need to consider improving the human body generally.
05:58:55 ER: ^ replace "robot" with "remote"
05:59:02 syv: 360° vision, spider eyes. Spiders do eyes the best.
05:59:08 ER: Some of em gotta be fleshy, obvs
06:00:20 ER: Normal human eyes, but I'm also seeing through 349 actual spiders.
06:03:31 syv: Nooo. Human-size jumping spider eyes. Actual tiny spiders barely see as well as a cat.
06:05:51 syv: No reason, upscale as much as you want.
06:06:15 syv: Giant eye in your chest, scan the moon's surface from the ground.
06:08:30 ER: Things like this would be why you're better off coming up with good specialized bodies, rather than flat-improving humans.
06:12:11 ER: don't wanna mess with that by adding bone plates and shit
06:13:12 syv: We're only sexy because we like the way we're designed. Humans go on and on about how pretty human eyes are, but they're an engineering nightmare.
06:13:36 syv: There's tons of way better eyes that we don't have, but if we did, people would be all about how pretty they are.
06:14:59 ER: ...If you programmed them to like them rather than be creeped out by them?
06:16:35 syv: If humans just existed with them naturally.
06:17:05 syv: Or if you bred it into them rather than just genehacked them. Or genehacked and then made them breed for a few millenia.
06:18:09 ER: You're not going to end up with compound eyes on a mammal naturally.
06:18:54 ER: So yeah, practically if you can make spider eyes pretty you can make anything pretty.
06:20:49 syv: Jumping spiders don't have compound eyes.
06:21:14 syv: Their eyes are more like binoculars or telescopes.
06:22:57 syv: Also humans can already find damn near anything pretty. The terrifying variety of fringe porn proves that.
06:23:47 ER: Made a tiny, hidden update to P&P. :P
06:23:53 syv: There's probably a community of people out their who really do edit giant black circles onto porn images to mimic spider eyes, because that's the sort of shit humans do.
06:28:49 ER: whenever I rolla die to determine the sex of an NPC in P&P, it comes up male.
06:30:08 ER: Bah, may as well reuse Zrand, right? :P
06:33:05 ER: So I can either say fuck canon, or make someone else. :I
06:33:37 syv: A crazy bloodlusty glory hound!
06:33:50 syv: In a stalker with a GLAIVE1
06:34:25 syv: WHO HAS ONLY SELF-DESTRUCT DRONES AND AN ELECTRIFIED AUX SYSTEM!
06:34:36 ER: With the kind of mech characters that I get, I'm obliged to present them with the Adults In The Room.
06:35:16 ER: See, it suddenly sounded way cooler when you said female. This is how my brain works, apparantly.
06:38:07 ER: (Should be infantry captain, anyway)
06:51:40 ER: This mission so far: carry 300 tons of shit through 13 kilometers of forest haha have fun.
06:53:43 syv: Meh, the mages will just explode.
06:53:54 syv: Does Sasha get saddlebags? :3
06:54:03 ER: At this rate I'M going to explode
06:54:40 ER: ah hell, saddlebags would make total sense but I'd have to balance that shit. D:
06:55:11 syv: In what way do saddlebags break... anything?
06:55:46 ER: being a thing that exists that hold stratigic importance
06:55:54 ER: the thing they break me meeeeeeeeee
06:55:58 syv: You should totally have some troopers ride on Sasha's back, Jag would be cool with it.
06:56:31 syv: Give at least one of them a sword, for the obligatory "Drive me closer!"
06:57:00 syv: And make it a woman, because that is the magic word.
06:57:38 ER: that IS the magic word. It is.

21:45:05 Devastator: yeah, looks like one run.

22:03:19 Devastator: Huh, Jake looks like my brother Matthes.
22:16:28 Devastator: I kinda hope Drider game returns to the Drider.
22:17:00 ER: Think the GM does too, given how hard he's trying to kill everyone.
22:17:47 Devastator: Name of the Game, after all.
22:19:16 Devastator: Besides, we gotta return to the currently 7-foot tall spider monster.
