01:00:51 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:05:40 MidJag: That's an interesting emotion
01:32:58 Devastator_ has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:36:36 Devastator has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
01:36:41 Devastator_ is now known as Devastator
01:49:47 Devastator: The warrens are no more.
02:00:10 Devastator: So when is the movie starting?
02:27:13 MidJag: Should be around 10 my time
02:35:45 Devastator: he want movie, then forget.
02:36:19 MidJag: He's still got some time
02:38:45 Devastator: Goddamn it, steam it updating itself when I don't want it downloading stuff.
02:47:10 Devastator: Hmm, you know that story of a jury finding a huge roll of money in a jacket pocket wasn't the only time it happened.
02:47:18 MidJag: Where do you even buy a 10000 pound safe?
02:48:24 Devastator: I think the mythbusters blew one of those up.
02:51:14 Devastator: of course, the list of things blown up by the Mythbusters is very long.
02:52:12 ER: huh, so they blew it up from the inside?
02:52:26 ER: I feel like that defeats the point of exploding a safe
02:56:50 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:59:52 Devastator: Eh, just annoyed that I have to shut it down to make it stop downloading crap.
03:00:55 syv: Aside from core updates, Steam's pretty good at not downloading if I tell it not to. Even core updates it lets me procrastinate endlessly.
03:01:10 syv: Are we watching
MJ's movie?
03:01:23 Devastator: Nah, it won't stop, or even indicate when it's downloading stuff internally.
03:01:34 Devastator: Only way I could tell was watching it externally.
03:01:55 Devastator: shut it down, and bam, it stopped.
03:02:04 MidJag: So everyone got it downloaded
03:03:05 ER: mine is the one
syv got, so same :P
03:03:21 Devastator: Yeah, I think I found the same one.
03:04:22 syv: Tired as hell, but ready. X-X
03:04:33 MidJag: I'll be ready in one secx
03:04:53 syv: One sex? That won't take long...
03:07:00 ER: ...apparantly E3 has held the announment of both halo infinite and doom eternal, which are very similar names for an FPS. :P
03:08:12 syv: The age of ageless AAA FPS has come!
03:08:32 Devastator: Nah, we're at the point where they're too degenerate to even add numbers, just DLC.
03:08:36 syv: Well, it hasn't been in the branding before.
03:08:47 MidJag: Honestlly it's kinda impressive theyvemanaged. to revive a game franchise that's older than me.
03:08:58 Devastator: Some of us don't have that problem.
03:09:11 Devastator: Unless someone revives Spacewars!
03:09:19 syv: Old Man
Devastator wants all the kids off his lawn.
03:09:35 syv: Maybe if they kill Mario, then bring him back.
03:09:42 ER: Honestly I'd kinda like the idea of a shiny AAA FPS where there's no plat and you just go forwards and shoot things forever. Not that any of these things will probably be that.
03:10:22 ER: VLC wants to update itself. I'll say no for now.
03:10:25 syv: Superhot? Well, I guess you're not really going forward. Hmm. You'd think someone would have made a constant-generation FPS dungeon.
03:10:26 MidJag: god, I just get this computer with a new keyboard back and already the god damn space bar isn't working, just like on the old keyboard
03:11:19 ER: Really there seems to be a strange lack of games where you can just go forwards forever without worrying about silly things like progression or whatever.
03:12:08 Devastator: Admittedly, not by a huge amount.
03:12:35 syv: Huh, Mario's actually only 32. Which is just about my upper bound for my estimate on
Dev's age.
03:12:45 Devastator: Older than that, actually.
03:12:52 Devastator: Mario dates back to Donkey Kong.
03:13:41 ER: I'm ready for that if we're done with our bants
03:14:17 syv: So ~35. A bit of a bump in presume age, but not huge.
03:14:17 ER: bants enriched by only the highest quality memes
03:14:35 Devastator: Well, younger than Spacewars!
03:14:38 syv: Bit older than I expected for Alleg.
03:14:46 Devastator: Alleg is good for the old guys.
03:15:26 syv: So not in your forties. That's a huge range. :P
03:17:06 syv waits for the "Wait wait no"
03:17:24 Devastator: Was this filmed in Vancouver?
03:17:38 MJ: Aslo this movie has a stupid plot, just putting that out there.
03:17:55 MJ: God this keyboard,I 'm tempted to write like I'm writing latin.
03:18:35 ER: how do you keep breaking your keyboard
MJ
03:18:37 syv: It'sPerfectlyReadableWithoutMuchDifficulty.
03:18:56 Devastator: He doesn't have a Model M.
03:19:10 MJ: I DON'T KNOW!? I've had it back for about 2 and a half days.
03:19:41 ER: Sometimes I suspect hardware issues are caused by actual curses
03:19:49 syv: Yeah, I don't get why these weird plastic bulb keyboards are so popular now. I *like* the old clicky keyboards.
03:19:59 ER: and solving the hardware will only help for a moment.
03:20:13 MJ: quieter, and people hate you less when you type in the library :P
03:20:36 Devastator: I think there's a company in Michigan that makes new old stock. Same design. Slightly lower build quality, from what I've heard, but they're good enough.
03:20:45 Devastator:
Syv, you've heard mine, right?
03:21:03 ER: too much pathos, not enuff dakka
03:21:17 syv: A little. Never found it annoying, but I'm weird. *shrug*
03:21:22 MJ: Anyway, this is a laptop so to fix it they replaced the whole keyboard, so I don't even know.
03:21:33 syv: I find clacky keyboards relaxing, really.
03:22:01 syv: Umbrellas are pretty neat.
03:22:08 Devastator: Where's the sunglasses?
03:22:20 Devastator: "Why do you meet me only when it's raining inside a graveyard?"
03:22:47 ER: my tyler durdan only shows up in graveyards while it's raining
03:23:12 Devastator: "Really? You couldn't say goodbye in some other location? It'll be an hour to get back to the city this time of day."
03:23:44 Devastator: That's why he was looking back at the city. He knows the other guy has a nice apartment fifteen blocks from his own.
03:23:51 syv: To be fair, attending a funeral implies you care.
03:24:10 MJ: atLeastThey fixed myLeftShift and control.
03:24:25 Devastator: copy a space and ctrl-v it, then. ;-p
03:24:48 Devastator: "How nice of her. She knows I like to eat Korean."
03:25:02 syv: Nah, just camelcase. It's perfectly readable, though the random mixture of spaces makes it look funnier.
03:25:02 MJ: Ah yes unspecified movie illness, the only disease with a 100% mortality rate.
03:25:13 ER: crtl-v is an amazing command
03:26:01 Devastator: It sucks, as it isn't a kitten.
03:26:15 Devastator: Hmm, should be keeping track.
03:26:28 Devastator: How long into the movie before a scene shows up that isn't colour-corrected to hell?
03:26:31 MJ: Bah, Puppys are just as good, if not better, becauseWhenThey Grow up they are equally adorable :P
03:27:03 ER: Puppies are slightly more useful, and that's pretty much the only upside~
03:27:12 syv: Dogs have some merits, sure, but cuteness as adults ain't one of them.
03:27:18 MJ: I like Dogs to Cats
syv, youKnow This.
03:27:30 syv: Dogs are more cool looking as adults, at best.
03:27:36 ER: I also only like the BIG dogs
03:27:40 syv: And often just plain silly looking.
03:27:44 Devastator: This scene is a little less colour corrected, but still there.
03:27:58 syv: Yeah, purse dogs are 100% silly.
03:28:04 Devastator: God, of all the things I hate about modern media, it's this that annoys me the most.
03:28:11 MJ: Hey, French bulldogs are adoarbel
03:28:55 MJ: TheDifficultiesOf Talking with objects inYour mouth
03:29:23 Devastator: Ooh, different filter!
03:29:29 MJ: Also
Dev it's a Keanu Reevesmovie, everythingIsGoing to be color corrected
03:29:35 Devastator: (except it's all CGI these days.)
03:29:46 ER: is the plot of this movie going to be "he fights russians for the car"?
03:29:57 Devastator: It isn't just Keanu Reeves. The moview that aren't like this are amazingly rare.
03:30:10 Devastator: fight russians to rescue the dog.
03:30:30 Devastator: The dog is actually an alien.
03:30:50 syv: Murder ALL Russians as revenge for the pupper.
03:31:19 Devastator: These guys have too much time on their hands.
03:31:29 MJ: AllI can think is the HH statsicitc
03:31:36 Devastator: They can just buy a nice car.
03:32:25 syv: But their murderboners got itchy, so nah, go beat up a dude instead.
03:32:31 syv: ...And don't kill him? What?
03:32:33 MJ: Hah,but now at leasrt I can blameMyKeyboard one my spelling
03:32:52 Devastator: ALMOST no colour correction here.
03:33:05 MJ: HellTheDude from ClockworkOrange is laughing at them.
03:33:39 MJ: I GuessHe's killing them for both really
03:33:51 syv: Why e Russians listening to ENGLISH rap?
03:34:18 Devastator: I could see that, actually.
03:34:26 Devastator: I don't think there's much russian rap.
03:34:46 syv: ...That actually makes sense and is also sad.
03:34:54 Devastator: Heh, notice how none of the extras are actually touching any of the expensive vehicles.
03:35:00 syv: I'd like to hear Russian rap, all of a sudden.
03:36:49 Devastator: These russians are both dumb and pussies.
03:36:51 MJ: AlsoHowDoes The son of the Main Russian Mobster not know his Dads Favorite Hitman?
03:37:10 Devastator: Because he goes through life with his head firmly up his ass.
03:37:51 MJ: Heh, Ilike thatExperession,though, Just "Oh".
03:38:38 Devastator: I do hope this isn't the actual plot.
03:38:56 Devastator: Just the fifteen minute warmup for the assassin.
03:39:12 MJ: ItIsThatmuchofAnExcusePlot.
03:39:31 Devastator: Eh, sometimes that's good, but for this one I'd like to see some kinda twist.
03:40:15 syv: Takes off jacket. Punches son. Puts on jacket.
03:40:59 MJ: HeTakesOffHisJacketToPunchPeople.
03:41:00 Devastator: Yeah, they're gilding the lily here. This much buildup would be better as parody.
03:41:24 Devastator: Might be better looking at this as a parody.
03:41:51 Devastator: And those weren't any ordinary men.
03:42:13 Devastator: "There was a priest, a doctor, and a fucking Luchador. It was like some kind of fucking joke."
03:42:15 MJ: DefinetllyLookAtTheSecond one as that, ItWon't Think of it self as that, but it should be.
03:43:09 Devastator: Inside the crate, is a lockbox.
03:43:17 MJ: I like the concrete Scene though. Itlookscoo.
03:43:18 Devastator: inside the lockbox is a bag.
03:43:23 Devastator: inside the bag is a single bullet.
03:43:35 ER: ...which is more than he needs
03:43:40 Devastator: He takes it out, grabs the hammer, and starts pounding five feet away down the line.
03:43:47 Devastator: To get the next bullet.
03:43:52 MJ: Nah, it's like the boondocks saints.
03:44:08 MJ: that would be really funny actually
Dev.
03:44:25 Devastator: The magazine is delivered via bycycle courier, and the gun is dropped off by someone rapelling out of a helicopter.
03:45:34 syv: The entire first half hour has been dumb.
03:45:44 MJ: I did say this movie is dumb
03:46:00 ER: not gonna get less dumb, but will get more shooty
03:46:04 syv: That is a badass muzzle break.
03:46:17 MJ: See theres gun porn, it's not all bad
03:46:59 Devastator: they shoulda set the house on fire and brought rifles to get him on the way out.
03:47:39 syv: He's too badass to need to aim.
03:47:47 Devastator: Hmm, maybe we should have a crossover game.
03:47:56 Devastator: John Wick versus Magical Girls. ;-p
03:47:58 MJ: To be fair, wouldThinkThatone dude coulud take out like 12 guys in one go.
03:48:18 ER: sent in a bunch of damn pistol dudes. Not even a single katana. what noopbs.
03:48:20 MJ: Well,I guessthey've already established he can do that but still
03:48:25 syv: You know
Dev, I'd run that. JW always rolls fives, and gets more information.
03:48:39 Devastator: Good thing he only got tangled up with this last guy.
03:48:50 Devastator: If that was the second-last guy he woulda been shot in the back.
03:49:00 syv: To kill Baba Yaga, you need a girl in a leather catsuit with a katana and an MP5K.
03:49:15 MJ: AndNowWeGetToTheReallyStupidPart
03:49:33 Devastator: Or someone with long hair, a shield, and diamond pattern stockings.
03:49:58 MJ: Yeah,butTheyMakeThisSoundLikeaRegularOccurence
03:50:17 syv: So that's what the gold cylinders were, Literal gold.
03:50:19 MJ: WhichSeemsLikeaBadthingForaProffesionalHitmanTodO.
03:50:23 Devastator: If it was a regular occurance, someone would have set the building on fire.
03:50:53 Devastator: How many of those did he leave for the disposal guys? I didn't count.
03:50:57 MJ: I LikeTheCleanUpSceneHonestlly
03:51:23 syv: All that and only five guys?
03:51:35 syv: I guess the cops don't care, but still.
03:51:51 Devastator: looks like one gold coin each.
03:51:55 syv: He shot more, but there were only five cleanup guys.
03:52:06 Devastator: 12 guys shot, five cleanup guys.
03:52:14 MJ: Eh,YouDon'NeedThatManyFor that
03:52:16 syv: And if they're only moving the bodies, they're doing a shitty job.
03:52:26 MJ: Bloods easy to get clean if you've got the right stuff.
03:52:28 Devastator: but yeah, he paid way too fucking much for that.
03:52:57 ER: I assume they also take care of the bodies neatly after they drive away. not too cheap. :P
03:53:17 Devastator: If you can get rid of one body, it isn't much harder to do 2.
03:53:30 Devastator: good economies of scale.
03:53:54 Devastator: The first is the hardest one.
03:54:11 Devastator: Yeah, but I'd put that at three or four times the cost of one.
03:54:22 ER: ...so how MANY magical girls should we pit against john wick?
03:54:34 MJ: OhDamn,I've Heard Thissong before.
03:54:58 MJ: I think It's a Misfits song actually. This couldBeAcover
03:55:00 syv: He has a decent shot against two, if
Dev plays him.
03:55:16 Devastator: The ones we have can do okay, I'd put them at even or worse than even.
03:55:22 Devastator: Homura would eat him for breakfast, though.
03:55:25 MJ: I need moresleepToFightJohnWick.
03:56:24 syv: Homura cheats, she has what amounts to prescience and infinite retries.
03:56:34 syv: She's pretty junk aside from that, really.
03:56:37 Devastator: Of course, the question is would it be funner to play the MGs or the John Wick?
03:57:01 syv: JW. MGs win virtually as soon as they see him.
03:57:38 ER: The flesh is weak, after all.
03:58:14 ER: Henry might actually be harder to kill for a mage type character, because he's not fleshy. ;P
03:58:21 syv: This film has way too much talking.
03:58:31 MJ: ooh, HH and JW fight a bunch og MGs
03:58:31 Devastator: Not ever film can be Hardcore Henry.
03:58:32 syv: Henry would be easier because he's way less competent.
03:58:46 MJ: Yeah, but he's way tougher and faster
03:58:48 syv: No other film can be Hardcore Henry, peetty much. :(
03:59:15 Devastator: "We want to make sequels."
03:59:23 syv: Toughness and speed aren't very useful against little girls who can throw and outrun cars.
03:59:35 Devastator: Can't HH do both of those, too?
03:59:48 MJ: Eh, Can't HH do that when he's tip top?
03:59:51 syv: No? Not nearly as well as an MG.
04:00:08 ER: His magic is not quite anime magic.
04:00:13 MJ: We Never saw him in the real world after he took the upgrades power source
04:00:21 Devastator: How would JW do against the Coven guys?
04:00:41 syv: Yeah we did, the final showdown on the rooftop.
04:00:59 syv: JW would kill all of them, assuming he knew how they worked--Lich would be an issue otherwise.
04:01:01 MJ: Yeah, but that was only guys who are his equals.
04:01:18 ER: Coven guys are hilariously incompatant scrubs, we'd lose against a low level DnD party probably. :P
04:01:39 MJ: Hah, MG's against a 3.5 Wizard.
04:01:40 Devastator: Lots of people would lose against a low level DnD party.
04:01:45 syv: They weren't much heavier and he had trouble throwing them too far. An MG with CC3 could've thrown them off the building one handed.
04:01:59 Devastator notes that down for Alida.
04:03:09 syv starts watching the film again
04:03:49 MJ: honestllythat pool thing just looks annoying.
04:03:51 Devastator: Should have given the hit team meth.
04:03:58 Devastator: They'd have killed him straight out.
04:04:13 Devastator: people not dying from one shot in the leg would have put him out.
04:04:35 syv: He mostly headshot them though.
04:04:41 Devastator: Yeah, they'd have given him much more trouble.
04:04:49 MJ: hard to think straight on meth, though so they'd not have much a plan.
04:04:57 Devastator: I don't think they had much of a plan.
04:04:58 ER: I think he headshot all, and the leg shot was intentional to get him out of cover.
04:05:15 syv: Problem is people are way worse at focusing and being clever... though they were just bumrushing like idiots.
04:05:52 syv: I think it would also really hurt accuracy, for mental *and* physical reasons. Not sure though.
04:06:07 Devastator: If they really cared, they'd have brought a few grenades.
04:06:23 Devastator: a near miss or two and JW will be fucked up or dead.
04:06:23 syv: Thy wouldn't have had silencers.
04:06:41 syv: Stab him in the jaw and he dies?
04:06:42 MJ: I don'tthink it would hurt accuracy too much, they gave meth and cocaine to soliders in WWII to keep them awake.
04:06:59 syv: ...And you think they retained perfect accuracy?
04:07:08 Devastator: I think those were mostly amphetamines, actually.
04:07:10 syv: WWII soldiers had shit accuracy.
04:07:32 Devastator: Eh, if MLB hitters can hit baseballs, they would be accurate enough.
04:07:38 MJ: Meth is an ampehteamine, and the germans tried some cocaine meth mixture.
04:08:00 syv: Meth has a lot more drawbacks than amphetamine.
04:08:00 Devastator: and throw baseballs?
04:08:34 Devastator: Run away, have one dude in a crosshallway with a shotgun.
04:08:47 Devastator: JW follows you, gets shot in the kneecap with buckshot.
04:08:55 ER: ...why is everyone dancing just casually in the next room from a gunfight?
04:09:05 Devastator: Recreational drugs?
04:09:19 MJ: Drugs/Alschol/they're a gangster club. PErhaps thisjust happens a lot.
04:09:20 syv: Ecstasy is really popular in that sort of-Oh@
04:09:31 syv: He judt did a sickle sweep!
04:09:37 Devastator: Really, dude, don't run away from your bodyguard, run where your bodyguard can ambush him or cut him off.
04:09:58 Devastator: Ninja rules for these guys.
04:10:17 Devastator: good work stepping out before shooting, dude.
04:10:29 syv: No, it's just got a huge muzzle break.
04:10:46 syv: If these guys had military training they'd ruin him.
04:10:59 MJ: Apperentlly bullet proof vests have really pretty bruises.
04:11:08 Devastator: ..wouldn't a bunch of random Russian mobsters have several guys with military training?
04:11:31 Devastator: oh good, was waiting for someone to go over that.
04:11:35 Devastator: Checkhov's railing.
04:11:36 syv: Russian mob *loves* to recruit from the Russian military.
04:11:39 ER: none of them are using anything but semiauto pistols so far
04:11:50 Devastator: eh, club security, not unreasonable.
04:11:53 MJ: I wonder if American mobs do.
04:12:00 Devastator: but yeah, I'd have a few guys with shotguns for JW.
04:12:11 syv: American military pays a lot better.
04:12:23 syv: So I've been told, anyway.
04:12:28 Devastator: Although, IIRC, Shotties are more favored for americans.
04:13:11 ER: because americans are SMART ;P
04:13:43 MJ: I'd sorta guess Wick would have more scars given his general approach to assisinating.
04:13:46 syv: Shotguns aren't actually all that great in CQB. They're mostly important for breaching.
04:14:23 Devastator: Truth, I wasn't thinking of it as that close quarters, just someone shooting him in the back from fifteen feet away.
04:14:29 syv: If you're well-trained, an SMG is more reliable. Though it penetrates more, yeah.
04:15:39 Devastator: another situation where a grenade would have ended it already. ;-p
04:15:52 syv: She is way, way, way better at Jiu Jitsu than him.
04:16:02 MJ: I like how all we do is criqtue they're killing people technique.
04:16:12 syv: She's got him in three submissions so far, he should be very broken.
04:16:26 syv: Kayfabe beats ACTUAL TECHNIQUE.
04:16:52 ER: The guy missed only slightly with a sniper, if he's been using an RPG, that's be a kill.
04:17:08 Devastator: I can say the sniper guy missing was him being shitty, but I don't think a RPG will reliably go through the right window from a ways away.
04:17:19 syv: Professional wrestling,
MJ.
04:17:21 MJ: Nah, sniper guy missed on purpose
04:18:04 Devastator: "Leave me alone, I'm two days from retirement."
04:18:22 ER: Of course he has to not kill the woman. :P
04:18:27 syv: There's your amphetamine abuse.
04:18:30 MJ: And watcha expect
syv? It's a movie.
04:18:55 syv: They actually took the time to teach her ACTUAL techniques, though!
04:19:16 MJ: Eh, Keyanu reaves was apperentlly busy learing how to shoot.
04:19:20 syv: But they couldn't just teach him some da,n counters? Noooo, he has to win by smashing her into a wall like an idiot.
04:19:33 Devastator: why didn't the guys in the basement hear the shots from upstairs?
04:19:41 Devastator: they were just sitting there waiting to be shot, facing the wrong way!
04:20:04 Devastator: He fired like 16 bullets and the priest could have shouted out.
04:20:21 syv: That gun was way louder than any man's scream.
04:20:29 Devastator: I meant on the way down the stairs.
04:20:31 MJ: No one ever dies form leg shots in these movies.
04:20:38 Devastator: when he was just around the corner.
04:21:01 syv: To be fair if they take a full minutes to die they're lucky.
04:21:04 Devastator: "You will fall in love with the hero, and have five hundred babies."
04:21:53 Devastator: Wait, did she just discard the gun?
04:22:18 MJ: has essentialy pissed of the mafias mafia
04:22:20 Devastator: Goddamn it, when you're in that sort of situation you don't get rid of a gun unless you have another gun.
04:23:31 syv: "Oh, he fell over, he lost. Let's just tie him up, like police officers.
04:23:33 Devastator: "Oh, he's only killed about forty guys. We can let him live. Totally."
04:23:46 syv: "Murder is bad, it could get us in trouble!"
04:24:04 syv: Why is the fucking RUSSIAN MOB so reluctant to murder?
04:24:09 Devastator: THIS, THIS is unforgivably stupid.
04:24:25 MJ: I said it was stupid, I've got nothing more to ad
04:24:30 Devastator: This is beyond stupid.
04:24:34 ER: ...I think he might be trying to re-hire him.
04:24:41 syv: Virtually all of them have only drawn guns in *self defense*, and the whole plot was kicked off by one of them bein unable to kill a guy.
04:24:44 Devastator: He's beyond stupid.
04:24:52 syv: He's doing a shit job if so.
04:25:11 Devastator: If you want to rehire him, you tie him up, march in your son, and kneecap him.
04:25:18 Devastator: Then let JW alone in the room with him.
04:25:27 Devastator: That might, MIGHT, end it there.
04:25:34 Devastator: that is, kneecap your son.
04:25:43 ER: Probably would have been better off getting rid of his son here
04:27:07 MJ: I will admit, I forgot just HOW stupid this movie is.
04:27:43 syv: "KEANU ANGERY" *hulks out*
04:28:14 syv: Fuck, they couldn't even afford metal handcuffs?
04:28:23 syv: Those are civvie legal, I mean what?
04:29:05 Devastator: well, duh, Keanu burned all their money.
04:29:26 MJ: That's gotta be murder on your wrist.
04:30:01 syv: Wouldn't be too bad, actually. Neck is a *lot* less resistant to squeezing than wrists.
04:31:11 Devastator: "I'm gonna blow the place up."
04:31:39 Devastator: Best spot for a sniper, in clear view of everyone else.
04:31:45 ER: I pressed something and it went to 00:00
04:32:31 syv: Loud game, despite him wearing headphones.
04:33:50 syv: Surprisingly little time taken on him.
04:33:55 syv: What's the rest of the film for?
04:34:09 ER: I mean, he did make sure to murder EVERYONE else before him.
04:34:18 syv: He had a shotgun on him ten minutes ago.
04:34:21 Devastator: Yeah, he should have just killed that guy.
04:34:33 MJ: I though it was weird as well, but yes.
04:34:47 Devastator: This guy isn't an assassin, he's just a butcher.
04:34:48 MJ: The main dude doesn't call off the hit and the movie continues.
04:35:26 MJ: There's only a half hour left anyway
04:35:35 Devastator: There's plenty of idiots here.
04:35:45 ER: guy points a shotgun at you 2 minutes after you capture him, let's keep having a price on him!
04:35:57 MJ: Indeed, ifyou wan't to see True idiocy look a the Second movie
04:36:09 syv: Let's watch her lose due to plot armor again.
04:36:27 MJ: Oh damn, this is Blues Sacrano I'm pretty sure
04:38:12 syv: BC is good, but all their songs sound about the same.
04:38:53 syv: "Hey, that friend of yours who saved your life? I killed him. Just FYI, have a nice day, ttyl!"
04:39:37 MJ: Heh, honestlly his friend is way more assinaty. Uses a long range gun, only kills people he needs to kill, doesn't get noticed.
04:40:04 MJ: Well I guess the long range gun isn't nessecary, but he's quiet about it is what I'm saying
04:40:08 ER: John seems more of a motile explosion than an assassain
04:40:49 MJ: God, they kill in her such a stupid way
04:41:16 MJ: If one dude misses they're gonna hit a friend.
04:42:17 ER: code is: don't fuck with the double mafia
04:42:30 MJ: That is essentiallyTheir entire code
04:42:53 ER: who the fuck are the double mafia anyway
04:43:03 MJ: The hotel is the double mafia
04:43:05 ER: some kind of global conspiricy?
04:43:19 syv: Why can't they ever do a pitman in movies?
04:43:34 Devastator: Need a triple mafia.
04:43:52 syv: It's how you spin out a car you're chasing.
04:44:32 MJ: Also, I'm no expert but can't rifle caliber bullets penetrate a trunk?
04:44:57 syv: That looked like an SMG, though I wasn't paying close attention.
04:45:06 MJ: Though he did get the car from the double mafia, so maybe it's armor plated
04:45:24 Devastator: It's raining again.
04:45:29 syv: AP might do it, but they might have HP loaded, it could deflect, they could miss...
04:45:58 Devastator: 200 guys with guns, but a knife is going to get it done.
04:46:13 Devastator: because, you know, russian mob guys do not like knives.
04:46:26 ER: "no more bullets!" *actually throws away gun*
04:46:56 MJ: Hmm, young trained assin versus old mob boss, I wonder who wins this
04:47:19 syv: "HYA" *flinches in the vauge direction of Wick*
04:48:06 syv: NOW PUNCH THE KNIFE STRAIGHT THROUGH HIS WHOLE BODY
04:48:19 MJ: And what the hell Wick? That's what you do when you are going to die and the dude has a spear, not when your winning and the dude has a knife
04:48:22 syv: PENETRATE ALL HIS ORGANS AT THE SAME TIIIIME!
04:48:36 Devastator: Clearly this guy never learned the stop bleeding ability.
04:48:39 syv: Also that knife isn't anywhere lethal.
04:48:43 Devastator: someone tell him to stop bleeding.
04:48:51 Devastator: yeah, you can get stabbed a bunch of times without dying.
04:48:57 Devastator: it's hard to die from getting stabbed once.
04:49:03 MJ: What Wicks knife or the russian knife?
04:49:09 Devastator: although you might get infected from an intestinal puncture.
04:49:29 syv: The knife in the guy's shoulder. It looked like it was following his shoulder blade.
04:49:51 syv: Is there any more shooting in the film?
04:49:52 MJ: I'm not sure why they didn't go more horizantial.
04:50:36 MJ: Well at least we watch the martian style surgery
04:50:41 syv: Yeah, yeah, disinfect the surface of the intestinal stab.
04:51:03 syv: It's not like sepsis is ever lethal or anything.
04:51:27 MJ: Persumbably he's going to see an actual doctor after this to be fair
04:51:38 ER: "I have a dog again, so it can get killed in the sequel!"
04:51:41 syv: That's why he stabbed himself, it was so he could aim the knife between all his intestines.
04:51:57 syv: Hahaha, I hope that's the plot of 2.
04:52:14 ER: "MY FUCKING DOG DIED AGAIN"
04:52:17 MJ: .....It might be actually, I can't rember the driving plot of 2
04:52:49 MJ: But yeah, now that I've actually rembered just HOW stupid it was. So sorry about that.
04:52:55 Devastator: It's not a dog next time.
04:54:21 ER: But hey if it gives us another excuse to pit magical girls against something in a testgame, overall win.
04:54:32 syv: I went back to the carfight scene, all the baddies were using 9mm SMGs.
04:55:10 MJ: So good enough to watch Sequel?
04:55:18 Devastator: Not for a while at least.
04:55:27 syv: Even the heaviest looking gun seems to be a glock with one of those fancy huge triple picatinny rail assemblies on it, and without ANY of the actual accessories you use that to get.
04:56:09 ER: I'd watch the sequel if that's what we're watching, otherwise don't care. :P
04:56:22 MJ: Oh come now
syv, I said the sequel is more actual gun porn and the first one is just so the sequel makes sense
04:56:36 syv: Not even a freaking grip, the guy's just sort of awkwardly fondling the front light. Or sights... no wonder he couldn't hit Wick.
04:56:39 Devastator: What's it next time? Triple mafia?
04:56:54 ER: Oh yeah, and
PW said another
ER movie night next sunday.
04:56:54 MJ: Nah, justWick fightingTheDouble Mafia
04:57:27 ER: Wait, why's he fighting double mafia?
04:57:37 MJ: I honestlly Can not rember
ER.
04:57:57 Devastator: One of them stole his lunch.
04:58:12 ER: double mafia don't seem dumb enough to kill his dog and steal his car. :P
04:58:18 MJ: No wait, movie ends with him fighitng double mafia. I can't rember who he fights in the beginig of the movei
04:58:58 ER: And John doesn't seem dumb enough to break the very simple code of not fucking with the double mafia.
04:59:49 MJ: John Wick 2 is a lot more ofEveryone In theSurroninding Enviorment Being Completely obliviousToThingsHappneing
04:59:51 syv: Oh my god, I'm watching the Jiu Jitsu scene again, and she actually got him in a decent kimura on the couch, and JUST LETS HIM GO.
05:00:14 ER: Tho I guess if that were true the smart move here would be to have the son live in the double mafia hotel for the rest of his life. :P
05:00:16 syv: There is no reason she couldn't have broken his shoulder right then! He didn't even DO anything!
05:01:15 MJ: I'm dissapointed they never have protags self relocate shoulders, both because that's possible and given half the shit they do it would happen more often.
05:01:21 syv: And then she gets a strong rear naked on him but Ohhhh, no, being smashed into a wall loosens her arms or something.
05:02:08 ER: Yeah, that fight was... dumber than usual for this movie.
05:04:05 syv: She gets that one weird christ-cross position which I can't recall the name of (from which she could break both arms), and then SCENE CUT and she gets ANOTHER FUCKING REAR NAKED, AND LOSES IT AFTER BEING SMASHED INTO THE WALL. AGAIN.
05:04:26 syv: AND HE FLIPS HER FORWARD SOMEHOW DESPITE HER HAVING HER ANGLES HOOKED IN FRONT OF HIS THIGHS
05:05:57 ER: So I'm guessing if we play a minigame where we try to kill John Wick and syv is GM, the tactic is to grapple him because that apparantly triggers
syv.
05:06:45 syv: Protip: If someone actually gets a proper rear naken/sleeper hold on you, A) You're probably fucked B)If you're standing, fall backward and smash your bodyweight into them. It'll do a lot more than smashing them into a wall horizontally, though you're probably still fucked.
05:06:48 MJ: Yes. the players auto win if the GM has an anyerisyum. :P thems the rules
05:08:05 syv: But like seriously, that choke is the epitome of a fight-winning move. Virtually everything is escapable, but if you let someone properly cinch in a rear naked, you're just screwed. All the counters are either forcing the attacker to make a mistake, or exploiting mistakes they already made.
05:08:25 MJ: Seems weird they'd go with that one.
05:08:27 Devastator notes that down for Alida.
05:08:58 MJ: Like presumbaly they have people who know that stuff and say it looks weird.
05:09:01 Devastator: God, add in enough strength to pick up a car and she could probably bisect someone like that.
05:09:13 Devastator: Nah, I think they told her to make up stuff, and she knew real stuff.
05:09:19 syv: Yeah,
MJ! They took the time to actually teach her!
05:09:23 Devastator: so they didn't know how stuipd it made them look.
05:09:30 syv: But she was doing everything correctly!
05:09:46 MJ: Seems wierd that she wouldn't say something then
05:10:02 Devastator: Eh, it's an internal joke.
05:10:10 Devastator: Now she can show that to her friends and have a real laugh.
05:10:22 syv: Like, that doesn't happen, there's usually only a couple simple takedowns that they do, and no groundwork, certainly no manuevering, but she was doing the manuevering right too.
05:10:44 ER: Maybe it looks weirder because they got a lot of footage and then edited it together with cut part and reordered parts.
05:11:01 ER: So the actress wouldn't have been able to see the weirdness
05:11:25 syv: No, at the very least she clearly let go of the kimura, uncut footage.
05:11:44 Devastator: I still think she knew what she was doing, but the director at least didn't.
05:11:51 syv: She gets it and then just... lets go.
05:11:56 syv: You're probably rightm
Dev.
05:13:29 ER: wonder when I'll get any bolded actions from mages this turn...
05:14:39 syv: All our actions are just questions, might as well answer them.
05:15:33 ER: Yours is a stack of nine questions, and the others aren't much less. That's turn-making territory. Maybe I'll do it if I don't get mage things for much longer.
05:15:34 Devastator: I played a little space rangers, but I don't have the itch for that it seems.
05:18:11 Devastator: so not likely to play much of that.
05:23:17 Devastator: A mixed-genre game.
05:23:51 Devastator: Text Adventures! simple RTS with a mech theme, and flying around in space.
05:25:13 Devastator: If you give me an hour, I'll fire up a little of it, if you'd like to see.

05:47:29 ER: big shitty city, metal bits stuck in flesh, and guns
05:47:30 syv: Oh, were y'all serious about JW VS MG? Cause I'll totally run that.
05:48:02 ER: I know that *I* am serious about any minigame oppertunity. :P
05:48:09 MJ: Metal bits stuck in flesh arethings I quite lik. Typically more flesh bits stuck in flesh bits more but still.
05:49:25 ER: I have no idea why none of my main game ideas are exactly cyberpunk... guess perplexiplex kinda came from that direction, but I let that die for... some reason?
05:49:31 CompSy has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:50:05 syv:
ER, 15 levels, any class you want, as long as it's not Innocence.
05:52:11 CompSy:
MJ cn also play if he wants, and is conscious. And
Dev comes around to play JW.
05:52:29 MJ: I will not be conscious soon.
05:53:03 CompSy:
MJ, constantly falling unconscious at night, like a scrub.
05:55:06 ER: Hmm, wound link might be cheapass here, if I could land the initial link properly.
05:55:23 ER:
Syv, what level of plot armor for JW have?
05:55:52 CompSy: JW always rolls 5s for anything he'd reasonably be skilled in.
05:56:07 CompSy: But he's still 100% human.
05:57:03 Devastator: Gonna just go sleep.
05:57:30 MJ: You know what's weird to think about?
Dev actaully goes to bed at normal times
05:57:39 Devastator: I'm not working nights these days.
05:57:53 Devastator: got stuff to do tomorrow.
05:58:33 CompSy: Nighty-night, Devvy-do.
05:59:13 Devastator: Maybe another night.
05:59:28 CompSy: Nah, Dubs would be boring.
05:59:34 CompSy: He plays like
ER if
ER had no soul.
05:59:56 ER: What you can expect from a spooky skeletal
06:00:16 ER: Hopefully we can do that one sometime.
06:00:40 CompSy:
Dev, willing to do it at a later date?
06:01:17 ER: ...Yup, innocence is def the best set of powers for dealing with a stupid powerful flesh mortal.
06:02:07 ER: Maybe mind control, if it weren't for the fact that action movie heroes categorically NEVER. GIVE. UP.
06:02:34 ER: which probably means auto-5 to resist, at least when it counts.
06:03:24 ER: Upgraded wound link is a total shutdown against a single mortal if they don't know how liches work, though.
06:05:42 MJ: I would expect JW knows how they worik
06:06:05 CompSy: John Wick is secretly a huge magical girl fan.
06:06:32 CompSy: After his wife died he spent pretty much the whole following week cuddled up with his puppy watching saccharine anime.
06:07:02 ER: Auto-5 probably can hit the jem without any additional damage to the body, and jem damage has no direct parelell to the mortal fleshbody, so wound link won't work.
06:07:45 CompSy:
ER is approaching this with uncharacteristic thoughtfulness. O.O
06:10:39 ER: I still play the way I play.
06:13:38 ER: ...I gotta say, so far E3 has shown a suprising number of actually interesting looking things. :P
06:16:25 syv: Oh hey,
ER, want me to try and stream Iji for you? You expressed interest before, and I'm bored.
06:17:15 CompSy: Will start moving files then. :P
06:26:42 ER: "each player's game expereince will be unique"
06:27:14 Devastator: Well, not if things go as the designers intend.
06:27:25 Devastator: Everyone getting the exact same experience is what's most desired.
06:27:30 CompSy: They randomize every element of the code based upon the player's name.
06:27:50 Devastator: Make it seem like the player makes a difference, when everything is intended to do the exact opposite.
06:28:09 CompSy: They fixed the bug of players having the same name by implementing a master server that you have to register on, which also doubles as DRM.
06:29:04 CompSy: You also have to provide ID whenever you play, and lying about your name is bannable, so if you're named Chris or something you have to have your name changed to "XXyazy" or similar to play.
06:29:38 CompSy: None of this is tracked though, and they discard all data after verifying your identity with it. So it's all okay!
06:32:57 MJ has left #einsteinianroulette
06:53:28 ER: ...how goes them moving files,
syv?
06:53:52 syv: Iji is tiny and it doesn't want to fit. :(
06:54:31 ER: I recall it being fidly in 1.6, but not having problems with the 1.7 version
06:56:22 syv: My OBS says it's version 0.6.5.9, which is probably not the correct number.
06:57:21 syv: I downloaded whatever the latest one was.
06:57:39 syv: Also it says 2004-2010, so, uh.
06:57:59 ER: folder is called iji2, right?
06:59:46 ER: what's your specific problem in obs?
07:00:37 syv: The rightmost and bottommost ~15% of the screen are black, because the game is smaller than the window.
07:01:47 ER: ...double click game capture, find checkbox "stretch to fit screen" or somesuch?
07:02:45 syv: I figured it out, base resolution was too high.
07:04:04 ER: I sees you. Menu text is a bit blurry tho
07:05:27 ER: Probably want damage if you're using the shotgun though. Actually makes a fairly large difference iirc.
07:06:14 ER: other way is to disregard attack and use tasen, komato, and crack to get really good weapons. :P
07:06:48 ER: Also I can NOT hear you while you're fighting anything
07:07:53 ER: New scenario: Komato Assassain VS John Wick. :P
07:10:04 ER: get komato 6, find a shocksplinter. Partly cause it's a good weapon, but also if you upgrade crack you can make the plasma cannon.
07:10:36 ER: ...still can't hear you if you mutter and there's a guitar solo going. :P
07:11:37 ER: ligit turn your voice up, game volume down
07:11:55 ER: It's okay to turn game down. That level should be fine I think?
07:12:53 ER: kick em or shoot em. Rocket should knock them off.
07:18:05 ER: First time I played I just got str and attack and kicked everyone while shotgunning everyone and that worked. :P
07:19:46 ER: On the other hand using that stratagy you'll never get to fire the VELOCITHOR
07:20:38 ER: 10 tasen + 10 komato + 10 crack
07:22:13 ER: you need to have the velocithor to beat the game with 0 kills... and the velocithor isn't the most powerful gun. And you only get said most powerful gun by doing a 0 kill run. :P
07:23:22 ER: Not enough levels left in the game to get it how you are. that doesn't mean that you can't still get it though~
07:26:15 ER: there's no binefit to leveling tasen or komato before those breakpoints that let you get new weapons, so you might be better off just waiting till you have 3 levels spare rather than investing 2 now.
07:27:44 ER: Also if you've got good damage and str, it might be a good idea to combine the detonator and pulse cannon next time you get a combining station.
07:28:05 ER: I thiiiiiink you might have enough crack already?
07:29:34 ER: crack 15 means you open it using a different terminal :P
07:30:12 ER: that thing opens shield doors, by the way
07:31:29 ER: hyper pulse reaches farther than the detonator
07:32:43 ER: ...It actually IS useful for kicking doors. Specific doors.
07:32:55 ER: That are in places that you can't reach normally.
07:34:20 ER: berserkers explode when they die.
07:35:25 ER: Everyone's favorite character!
07:38:17 ER: They're fully capible of destroying all life on the planet from orbit. All their remaining enemies on the planet. They land anyway because Komato means MURDERBONER
07:42:49 ER: huh, a spread rocket shot killed two berserkers. Usually they laugh at that weapon.
07:45:56 ER: They have reflectors, which have a chance of deflecting any projectiles. Spread is three projectiles, which they'll roll three times to deflect, hit all of them, and rupture yout face. At least I think that's how it works mechanically. The lore claims that they're specially trained to deflect it because it's more dangerous than normal rockets.
07:51:38 ER: shocksplinter! It shocks, it splinters!
07:52:11 ER: Heh, I played it before joining b12, it might be a slight influence.
07:53:13 ER: note: you just now reached the level cap for last sector. :P
07:54:02 ER: note that security 20 is functionally identical to security 15, or security 25, or anything higher than 10.
07:57:22 ER: the four legged guys are called Beasts. They're komato troopers who didn't react well to the combat drugs. They're heavilly cybernetically messed-with, essentially mindless, and fight by ramming into you and self-destructing.
08:00:23 ER: ultra minefield run and seek!

14:21:23 Radio_Controlled: Greetings you shallow waters in torrential rains.
14:26:24 Devastator: Fun in politics, it seems.
14:29:30 Devastator: Yup. Apparently being betrayed by Trump makes one a betrayer.
14:29:45 Radio_Controlled: Well obviously.
14:31:01 Radio_Controlled: Not caving in completely to His Orangeness and accepting all of his demands with a humble request for 'can I have another sir' is basically stabbing the US in the back.
14:31:22 Devastator: Ran into some stuff on steam cannons. More annoyed about them in the arms race than before.
14:33:45 Devastator: They just don't work, and the 'apply heat later' method is just as ridiculous as I thought.
14:35:52 Radio_Controlled: Steam cannons?
14:36:01 Radio_Controlled: Which arms race are we talking about?
14:37:27 Radio_Controlled: Might get a cabal turn today.
14:38:03 Devastator: The last one I participated in.
14:41:40 Radio_Controlled: Name or link please.
14:41:53 Radio_Controlled: I don't exactly keep careful track of which games you play.
14:42:14 Devastator: The magic one that ended.
14:46:14 Radio_Controlled: Ah, right, that one.
14:52:19 Devastator: They're all called arms race, it's hard.
14:53:42 Radio_Controlled: Arms race is just the name of the type of game really, like 'suggestion game'.
14:56:01 Radio_Controlled:
PW forgot my action for chalice, when I pointed it out to him he thanked me by siccing some monsters on me.
14:56:15 Radio_Controlled: Must be my lucky day!
14:56:19 AoshimaMichio: never correct the GM
14:56:22 Devastator: Weren't you going to fight someone?
14:56:30 Devastator: oh well, lets see if monkey saves us.
15:09:26 Devastator: I see a Chalice turn.
15:09:31 Devastator: is
PW going to make a cabal one too?
15:10:07 Radio_Controlled: I asked him, he said "[16:36] Mr.Bones: I suppose I can"
15:10:19 Radio_Controlled: My turn in chalice was spent shooting a tree.
15:10:22 Devastator: maybe Saeko has a chance.
15:10:31 Devastator: mine was spent stabbing two dudes and everyone else was just moving.
15:33:22 Radio_Controlled: Yeah, kind of curious as well what will happen next with the ambush and with
ER's situation.
15:33:54 Devastator: Why'd you guys get ambushed?
15:34:00 Devastator: You have money, but you'll look pretty dangerous.
15:37:33 Radio_Controlled: No, your ambush.
15:37:37 Radio_Controlled: The bugmen ambush.
15:39:27 Radio_Controlled: We are still happily preparing for Ecalir's arena stint.
15:39:59 Devastator: well, that was a 1 on a 1d6, or else there would have been no ambush.
15:42:43 Devastator: and I'd probably be negotiating for a familiar right now instead.
15:45:24 Radio_Controlled: I don't think the ambush depended on a dice roll?
15:48:05 Devastator: "I'm sorry, this only had one in six chances of happening."
15:50:48 Radio_Controlled: Well, them's the dice.
15:50:55 Radio_Controlled: Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
15:51:02 Devastator: I think that's why
PW is being a bit generous here.
15:52:05 Radio_Controlled: It's an interesting situation, so that's nice.
15:52:11 Radio_Controlled: (for me at least :p )
15:54:34 Devastator:
PW die rolling on his discord?
15:55:51 Devastator: I'd rather be working on the familiar, to be honest, and healing people.
16:03:42 Devastator: but this isn't bad.
16:05:27 Devastator: I do know I'm not going to pursue them.
16:05:39 Devastator: chasing after like twenty guys with four isn't a good plan.
16:08:57 Radio_Controlled: No roling right now.
16:10:23 Radio_Controlled: Sorry, you used up your daily free IRC-Discord crosstal budget.
16:10:36 Radio_Controlled: Continuing beyond this point is gonna cost ya I'm afraid.
16:12:56 Radio_Controlled: Look at the bright side, if you get out and spread the word, Pan and me have an excuse to come looking for you, which in turn gives the opportunity to earn some mana for working on the familiar through enhancements.
16:13:32 Devastator: Yeah, probably going to spread the bird.
16:18:16 Radio_Controlled: I wonder how much we'll need to power up before the two of us could take on the bugmen force that is attacking you guys right now and win.
16:19:31 Radio_Controlled: Assuming the Saeko strenghtening works, that'd mean I could support Pan without having to resort to spells, though he'd still be the main hitter on our team.
16:22:19 Radio_Controlled: And if I buff will to +1 I think I should be able to do some combat necromancy, so every bugdude we can take down is a new ally on our side.
16:24:25 Devastator: You guys could probably bring a couple of extra mercs.
16:24:28 Devastator: but it's up to you.
16:24:43 Radio_Controlled: Though it'd probably be best to try and recruit some guys either way, get some extra mass in case there's even more of them.
16:24:45 Devastator: It'll work, but I don't know if you want to pay the massive amount of mana for it.
16:25:21 Radio_Controlled: I'm guessing the local traders would be willing to pinch in if it helped them get rid of the raiders.
16:25:32 Radio_Controlled: Why would it cost a massive amount of mana?
16:26:07 Devastator: Didn't we work out that it woudl be like fifty mana?
16:27:32 Radio_Controlled: Would it? Maybe if the cost rolls would all be really bad.
16:27:43 Devastator: There might be some failures.
16:27:56 Radio_Controlled: Though even then, that might still be a fairly doable price compared to leveling it manually.
16:29:06 Radio_Controlled: So if Ecalir can earn some mana in the arena, and we convert the platinum bar, I think it should be doable.
16:29:27 Radio_Controlled: Though it'd also depend on how much you ask for in addition to the spell costs themselves, of course.
16:30:08 Radio_Controlled: (though if we're about to set out to try look for the people that got kidnapped from under her nose, I'm hoping we could get a discount :p )
16:32:26 Devastator: Yeah, but profits go into helping more people, so she would want to get something out of it.
16:33:30 Radio_Controlled: Sure, but there's a big difference between like 4 mana payment (and expenses) per succesful level or 10.
16:33:46 Radio_Controlled: And there's possible words, maybe.
16:35:04 Devastator: It also isn't levels.
16:35:09 Devastator: It's compatable with levels.
16:35:16 Devastator: you can increase die sizes and add levels.
16:36:48 Radio_Controlled: Yeah, which is why I'd be interested in it even if it costs something.
16:37:01 Radio_Controlled: Calling it levels for convenience.
16:37:48 Devastator: it'll cost something. Although I don't know if you want to pay for the d8 level, which is d12 cost.
16:38:16 Radio_Controlled: Getting end to d8 would be the most important goal though.
16:38:24 Devastator: I may be meeting you first, anyway.
16:38:27 Radio_Controlled: Others are less important.
16:39:13 Radio_Controlled: But d8 end lets me get more out of buffing words and lets me wear better armor.
16:39:32 Radio_Controlled: Would need to get a +2 otherwise to wear that d8 armor, aka 40 freeking mana.
16:40:22 Radio_Controlled: So even if the single d6 -> d8 costs like 20 mana, then I still save mana ultimately.
16:41:27 Radio_Controlled: I'm more afraid of you critfailing honestly, that could get nasty.
16:41:54 Radio_Controlled: Something like falling back to d4 would suck, but could be fixed.
16:42:03 Radio_Controlled: But other things could be more... permanent.
16:43:19 Devastator: I wouldn't worry about critfails.
16:44:23 Radio_Controlled: You have the needed end to make it somewhat unlikely, but it's still possible.
16:44:54 Devastator: It's Cabal, the magic system is pretty safe.
16:45:16 Radio_Controlled: Until you roll a 1+1 on a 12 difficulty.
16:46:12 Devastator: If you pay her, she'll test it on herself first.
16:46:19 Radio_Controlled: Not sure what would happen, but I doubt it'd be pleasant.
16:46:20 Devastator: but yeah, she's willing to try again.
16:46:36 Devastator: and you know, did test it on herself first.
16:46:38 Radio_Controlled: I don't think testing will help, since you roll anew every time.
16:47:04 Devastator: I think a critfail wouldn't show up unless I'm trying to cast a spell that would require more than d12 to succeed.
16:47:09 Devastator: IE, that would be a critfail.
16:47:09 Radio_Controlled: Though it can give an idea of how bad a critfail would be.
16:47:48 Radio_Controlled: "Spells can fail for one of two reasons: The caster lacking the needed mana or failing the difficulty roll. If they simply lack mana, then the spell will take what they have and fizzle out. If they fail the difficulty roll, then one of two things can happen. If they fail but roll greater than half the difficulty roll, then the spell fizzles normally. If they roll LESS than half
16:47:48 Radio_Controlled: however, the spell backfires. What this looks like can vary depending on the spell, but it will generally be destructive and damaging to the caster and those around him."
16:48:16 Devastator: Does
PW remember that?
16:48:23 Radio_Controlled: I guess critfail isn't the exact terminology the rules used, but that's what I was fearing.
16:49:26 Radio_Controlled: Dunno if he does, don't remember if it has happened yet.
16:52:20 Devastator: You could ask
PW what happens.
16:53:13 Devastator: I wouldn't mind knowing.
16:53:18 Radio_Controlled: Anyways, gonna go take a bath. Might be on again later, maybe not.

19:18:22 Radio_Controlled: I'm back baby.
19:18:58 ER: We watched John Wick last night. It was dumb.
19:21:05 Devastator: go tell
syv you love how accurate hollywood is for close-quarters combat.
19:21:28 Radio_Controlled: Why did nobody tell me?
19:21:45 Devastator: You weren't around for the entire preceding week.
19:21:58 Devastator: It was decided quick-like.
19:23:27 Radio_Controlled: True, but shooting a quick pm takes like, what, 20 seconds?
19:25:04 Devastator: Didn't think of it.
21:39:32 Radio_Controlled: "23:29] Egan BW: I will drop rocks on you FROM ORBIT"
21:39:44 Radio_Controlled: "23:30] Radio Controlled: Sure, just promise you'll wait until I'm standing over a mage village somewhere."
21:39:54 Radio_Controlled: "[23:31] Egan BW: Precision targeted orbital cinder blocks"
21:40:05 Radio_Controlled: The average P&P planning session. :p
21:41:26 ER: [5:31 PM] Egan BW: enchanted to have armor piercing.
21:58:35 Radio_Controlled: The fun never ends.
21:58:43 Radio_Controlled: Except for now cause I'm leaving.
21:58:49 Radio_Controlled: Good night guys.
