00:05:31 syv has left #einsteinianroulette [Definitely]
01:27:46 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:29:03 syv: Yo, Ewe Rattatat, still around?
01:29:09 syv: I'm at home now, have sat.
01:30:33 syv: ...So, can you stream DaS? Or should I do something else?
01:35:03 ER: lemmie just eat the rest of this first
01:40:39 ER: ...wish my mic were working
01:45:55 ER: thoguht I was streaming a black screen :P
01:46:10 syv: It does, but now it has a loading circle.
01:46:14 ER: sorry, steam appeared to have forgotten my controller setup when I went offline...
01:46:16 syv has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
01:46:51 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:50:18 syv: I thiiink it mght be back?
01:51:02 ER: not sure it's worth streaming if you'll be getting a slideshow :P
01:51:54 syv: Yes. Doesn't seem very slideshowy, and then it pauses...
01:52:27 syv: Maybe stream at a lower res?
01:54:07 ER: a bit downscaled now, tell me it it's still too slow
01:55:13 syv: Time spent with video vs time spent paused/buffering.
01:55:30 syv: ~80% video now, previously was ~60%?
01:55:53 ER: ah, may as well downscale it till that's close to 100
01:56:16 syv: I did Wanderer for my run, BTW. Wanderer best class.
01:56:52 ER: was thinking warrior kinda. But wanderer is nice
01:59:43 syv: It's doing a really weird skipping thing now, where it skips forward like 100 ms frequently, but with very little pausing. Prolly about as good as my swamp internet will allow.
02:03:29 syv: Aand it's degraded super heavily by now.
02:03:45 syv: Don't think I can really watch anythiny tonight. :(
02:05:35 syv: Go ahead and have fun with the mod.
02:07:09 Devastator: The slideshow effect last time I streamed was due to steam auto-updates.
02:07:13 syv: I can watch a 144p youtube vid, so yeah.
02:07:30 syv: DLs at about the play speed/
02:07:59 syv: If you do, I'll try to watch.
02:09:41 syv: Seems to work so--and pause.
02:10:11 syv: And then another. So yeah. Uh.
02:10:23 syv: Do you have double potato?
02:11:20 syv: Try downscaling so your char's like ten pixels wide. 150x100 or something, retro Dark Souls.
02:11:31 ER: that's are 3.00 resolution downscale, which is as far as that option goes... I could lower the base resolution?
02:15:01 syv: Literally ten pixel wide char.
02:15:17 Devastator: You got ten pixels?
02:15:41 syv: This would be sad if it weren't so hilarious
02:16:09 ER: probably twitch wasting bandwidth on something so we'll get diminishing returns
02:16:23 Devastator: Probs. It's fine for me.
02:16:23 syv: Yeah, sorry. Enjoy the game.
02:17:46 syv: Update me every time you kill a boss/achieve something notable instead?
02:18:11 syv: Somehow IRC isn't strangling my starved rat internet, so text updates work!
02:18:45 Devastator: IRC uses so little bandwidth it's almost absurd. It's very close to being just the text.
02:19:01 syv: I was joking about my internet being amazingly bad.
02:19:38 Devastator: I know I've used it when those guys cut the big cable to the south, cutting off better than 90% of my internet speed.
02:19:47 Devastator: (Construction accicdent.)
02:21:06 Devastator: That's actually happened twice in the last five years.
02:21:40 syv: GG, Canadian Construction.
02:23:52 Devastator: Well, once was when half the province was on fire, so there.
02:25:27 Devastator: The other one was just a fuckup.
02:31:16 ER: yey, killed dat asylum demon
02:31:31 ER: and what's this, it's a big mass of darkness~
02:37:39 syv: Not much of a contract, really. It's not like you have the option of NOT accepting.
02:38:29 ER: well, it's kind enough to give you a waiver :P
02:52:37 ER: wait, warrior's starting armor has 0 poise except the helmet?
02:52:48 ER: but it's like, covered in metal!
02:55:06 syv: Warrior kinda sucks, Knight's the way to go if you want armor.
02:55:14 syv: Warrior does get the best shield though.
02:55:16 ER: that's a real shame, because it looks pretty cool
02:56:23 ER: heater is bae though, and you get a good start towards a quality build with no levels wasted on silly things like magic~
02:56:28 Devastator: Wasn't that what I started with for my character too?
02:56:51 Devastator: I remember the no poise thing.

03:02:59 ER: ...why does print screen key not take screenshot now? D:
03:04:08 syv: Mod changes a ton of code, maybe screenshots were an accidental casualty.
03:04:24 ER: ah, it works but not while the game is focused. how convenient.
03:05:24 ER: I would be sending steam screenshots, but I can't upload them in offline mode, which I'm in because mods + multiplayer = bad
03:06:12 ER: upshot being that I cannot share this great fashion souls ;-;
03:08:33 syv: Dark souls won't swap to online if you start in offline, I don't believe. Have to savequit.
03:17:29 ER: thank ye kindly. Nehhehehehe!
03:22:10 Devastator: kill any npcs accidently on purpose yet?
03:28:51 ER: I made sure to look at the chain on the first chest I see
03:29:01 ER: then the next chest is a memey boy
03:30:11 syv: Punch all chests, forever.
03:36:14 syv: ...What sort of fashion souls do you even HAVE before burg?
03:36:38 ER: did mimics ALWAYS have 100% fire resist?
03:37:08 syv: Uhm. No, fireballs worked against them.
03:37:13 syv: I think it was high though.
03:37:43 ER: yeah, I threw firebomb and the did literally nothing, didn't even seem to hit
04:02:42 ER: hah, that one is actually kinda useful
04:03:18 ER: binds its owner to consume all lesser souls as soon as they are acquired
04:06:44 syv: Fitting, since Taurus is now the easiest boss, and also unskippable.
04:07:32 ER: though you could theoretically do pinwheel first, right? :P
04:07:50 ER: I wonder what he's like, now.
04:08:08 ER: Maybe they gave him a base cannon to go with his best mask?
04:08:45 syv: Well, I ALWAYS kill Pinwheel first, cause I love the MotC, but I didn't kill him first in my run.
04:09:36 ER: I just don't want to poke skeletons right now.
04:15:24 syv: I always skip all the skeles, they're way too hard to kill at that level.
04:15:45 syv: It's pretty strsightforward once you know the route.
04:24:20 syv: Ugh, that thing is so ugly.
04:27:38 ER: why would you use a knight shield
04:28:18 ER: heavier than a heater, slower parry, less elemental reduction, all in exchange for 1 more stability
04:28:31 syv: Because you didn't buy the heater?
04:28:46 syv: There's tons of strictly inferior equipment in souls, of all types.
04:29:01 ER: I didn't buy the heater, I picked it up in the asylum ;p
04:29:28 syv: Because you didn't buy the heater AND you didn't start as warrior. :P
04:38:12 Devastator: What's the best worst equipment?
04:48:06 syv: Unless you mean best "worst-in-class" weapon, which is probably a greatsword or greathammer of some variety.
04:54:57 ER: oh god, one of the boss mods is going to be like the souls thing, but for humanity, isn't it.
04:55:17 ER: I... can certainly see that being a thing.
04:55:55 syv: Oh, oh, the best (most fun) worst weapon is the rake!
04:56:06 syv: It's 2hr2 makes you pratfall if you miss.
05:09:56 ER: andre sells a pendant for 100000 souls
05:10:15 ER: ...makes me glad that I already have one?
05:19:46 ER: I killed the titanite demon with a +3 claymore and moved on to the garden
05:20:10 ER: may as well explore before killing the gargs, cause that'll just make things harder
05:25:17 syv: Claymore? Ugh, it's nice, but damn is helldrake horrible.
05:26:39 ER: hide in the corner, wait for him to come down, run tween his legs, hide by the sunlight shrine till he flies off
05:27:15 ER: also, does this mod increase drop rates? I'm seeing a lot of drops, feels like
05:27:36 ER: yeah, I bought a shortbow, cause you never know when you'll want one
05:29:12 ER: oh hey I died to being stupid again
05:29:21 ER: strange how often that happens.
05:30:53 syv: I don't think it does? Maybe.
05:31:14 syv: I didn't get a BKH from the hydra black knight, but I did get a BKG. :(
05:31:24 syv: BKH is my fav, BKG is just a sad claymore...
05:31:36 ER: somehow fighting plant mates I have like 3 blooming mosses but no normal purples
05:32:06 ER: I think I'll avoid killing the black knights till I have silver serpant
05:35:14 syv: That's not wussy, that's practical.
05:35:20 syv: SS is pretty lategame though.
05:36:15 ER: which is a thing I should never say with this mod on, but I'm saying it
05:39:17 Devastator: Things can be both practical and wussy.
05:40:50 syv: BKs aren't really hard, they're relatively trivial to parry and backstab. Plus you don't actually lose much of anything on a fail.
06:05:42 ER: *goes to darkroot garden elevator to valley of drakes*
06:05:50 ER: "contraption does not move."
06:06:31 syv: God that made me angry. I HAVE to do Depths and Blighttown?!
06:06:38 syv: I pretty much always skip them.
06:07:31 ER: but yeah, I thought I'd at least be able to get to the other side of the door that was locked at firelink
06:08:15 ER: so, guess that mean gargs, capra, sif, or pinwheel
07:00:58 ER: 14k souls, from going as deep into the catacombs as possible and nearly dying :P
07:07:19 ER: so uh should I do gargs, capra, or butterfly next
07:16:40 ER: Hmm, I'm human. should I grab lautrec and/or solare?
07:18:17 ER: might make it harder to get that sweet bendy axe
07:23:05 ER: why do you think I made a character specifically for that weapon
07:28:32 ER: "summon reminders of defeat"
07:30:46 ER: ...
syv, does this mod want me to be online, actually?
07:31:42 syv: That'd be pretty neat, but also entirely unfair, if it summoned enemy players instead.
07:32:29 ER: I was thinking something like it summons the bloodstain phantoms, but they can hit you. :P
07:33:40 syv: Go down the the courtyard where you find the halberd, you'll see.
07:33:59 syv: It's a lot worse than Taurus' stipulation. A lot worse.
07:35:21 ER: well it is called "amendment" and not "stipulation", and goes into the key items rather than consumables. And it's a little vague.
07:41:38 ER: hmm, where are Petrus's buddies?
07:43:16 ER: it's neat, but pretty dex-buildy
07:46:54 ER: hmm, that amendment ITSELF makes the game harder every time I kill a boss, without even considering those bosses own stipulations
07:52:01 ER: and another one down in the lower burg
07:52:34 ER: at least I got a bandito knife, which will be good to apply directly to stray demon's butt
07:55:48 ER: petrus doesn't have his buddies and lautrec just up and left, I'm lost
07:58:15 syv: I killed Lautrec immediately after freeing him, while ignoring Petrus & co.
08:01:32 syv: Those fucking hollows were harder than any boss with the cosplay souls mod.
08:10:13 ER: ...can I give my nullification waiver to the crow?
08:10:24 ER: it's seemingly droppable...
08:12:10 ER: I got a... ring of succor and contentment
08:14:21 Devastator: weighs you down and slows you down.
08:15:40 syv: Yeah, there's a reason that exists.
08:15:44 ER: so, minor HP regen, better healing items, more shield stability, breaks if removed
08:16:49 ER: if I wear the brother and the sister rings together, what happens? :P
08:18:08 ER: who needs the covenant of artorias anyways...
08:24:35 ER: anyway, not putting that on for now, just like I usually don't use the fapping ring. Don't like having only one slot to work with. Though I obviously might be forced to use them in this mod.
08:29:06 ER: I backstepped off snuggly's ledge
08:39:09 ER: with a bandit knife, o course
08:39:26 ER: which makes his stipulation rather ironic
08:40:11 ER: now I have less bleed resist. That might make capra a pain
08:43:44 ER: or I could buy a bloodbite ring :3
08:46:26 Devastator: eat it for permanent bleed resist.
08:48:21 Devastator: what? Not that game?
08:48:29 syv: Eat the FAP ring, then hope you don't lose Fina's favor with your next bowel movement.
08:48:43 Devastator: You're undead. No bowel movements.
08:51:20 Devastator: Just respawn with the ring back in your stomach.
08:52:03 ER: wow, it appears that this stipulation makes bloodbite do NEXT TO FUCKING NOTHING
08:52:45 ER: yeah that gives me 6 extra bleed resist
08:53:14 syv: Dodge bleed attacks, then.
08:55:01 syv: Maybe HotPocketRemix doesn't know about her.
08:55:35 ER: I could get out of having to kill her if I hadn't given my waiver to a corvid
08:55:41 Devastator: In fact, he added Double Priscilla, who is fluffier.
08:57:08 ER: buffed Priscilla by making her tail even fluffier, making it effectively impossible to kill her
08:59:43 ER: at least random-ass bell gargoyles are a good source of souls
09:01:40 syv: Yeah, once you're used to dealing with them, most of them are actually quite nice for the soulboost.
09:01:50 syv: Oh, yeah, Stray Stipulation.
09:01:53 Devastator: Yeah, you have to fight every boss except one you use a waivier on?
09:02:42 ER: I don't think it was really stray that did it, he just decided to dual sword slam me twice in a row while I was looking at dogs :V
09:03:14 ER: no, the waiver gets you out of having to fight all the bosses, and also the stipulations I think
09:03:23 ER: basically a "turn off this mod" button
09:03:33 Devastator: and you gave it to the crow.
09:08:37 Devastator: What'd you get for it?
09:10:20 ER: anyways, capra is a pushover if the dogs are down and you have a decent shield
09:11:15 ER: *looks at the capra stipulation*
09:11:48 ER: at least now I won't feel bad about summoning help!
09:12:08 syv: It really varies in how meaningful that is.
09:12:18 syv: Often, it's near meaningless. Other times, it's hell.
09:13:05 ER: please tell me stray is one of the bad ones so that I can feel good about killing that one early :P
09:15:20 Devastator: what's the capra stipulation?
09:15:21 syv: I think he gets a couple hollow soldiers.
09:15:33 syv: Other bosses get mobs in their fights.
09:15:52 Devastator: that would suck for the cosplay mod.
09:15:53 syv: Capra's only real difficulty is that he has two dogs with him. So, kill him, now every gets dogs.
09:16:12 syv: Would prolly actually make it easier.

09:23:23 Devastator: Just watched someone get sniped while piloting a helicopter.
09:25:23 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
09:28:45 syv: Prolly gonna turn in real soon.
09:32:41 syv: Oh,
ER. Do DLC asap. It gives really bad challenges (apparently--I haven't gotten there myself, yet), but since they're the hardest bosses, you really don't want to fight them with all the other stipulations and whatnot.
09:33:00 syv: Supposedly Kalameet gets to be just shy of impossible if you do him last.
09:33:34 ER: I haven't actually beaten Kalameet or Manus at all :V
09:33:55 syv: You're missing out, they're two of the best fights in the game!
09:34:32 ER: I didn't say that I haven't *fought* them!
09:34:47 ER: though I might have not fought kalameet
09:34:54 Devastator: Hell, I've beaten them.
09:35:12 syv: He's arguably the hardest boss in the game.
09:35:39 syv: Though, then again he's pretty simple with a composite bow and the flip ring.
09:37:18 ER: I have trouble with bosses like artorias, gwen, and pontiff sullyvhan in DS3
09:37:41 ER: like, the vaguely human sized ones who go REALLY REALLY FAST
09:37:52 syv: They're the hardest type, really.
09:38:21 syv: Spears work well against them
09:38:59 Devastator: I had to use a NPC on sullyvhan.
09:39:04 Devastator: am embarassed forever.
09:39:10 syv: Daggers, curved swords? Terrible. Ultragreats? Terrible, unless they can poise.
09:39:21 syv: Spears, though, spears are godly.
09:42:31 ER: I'm finished for now. Bosses are asylum, taurus, gargoyles, stray, capra so far.
09:42:52 ER: I nabbed the large ember also
09:43:06 ER: ...but don't have any large chards
09:43:31 syv: Think my run is about the same, but swap stray for gaping, and I've cleared most of both Blighttown and the Catacombs.
09:43:38 ER: what does a weapon upgraded with chard do?
09:50:40 syv has quit [Quit: Definitely a psyv.]
09:50:53 Devastator: Do Pumsy's, though.
09:52:08 ER: and then alida decided not to kill the witch and leave the labyrnth, but to stay, and pet fluffy tail, forever.
09:52:14 Devastator: (Alida wants to go werewolf.)
09:53:13 Devastator: Yeah, so she will -be- fluffy tail. ;-p
09:55:22 ER: I gave my Fury class a werewolf ability because of you.

15:31:03 Ozzt: I had to get some tea and respond to a PM
15:34:54 Devastator: Got a callback from a job I applied for months ago.
15:35:06 Devastator: Possibly a very good one, but there's an awful lot of hoops to jump through.
15:36:59 Ozzt: that's a good bit of why I am not working in my field, I guess
15:37:12 Ozzt: and doing painfully low skill general labor instead
15:38:44 Devastator: It's for low skill general labor.
15:38:49 Devastator: but a very, very big company.
15:41:04 Ozzt: ah. Well, good luck with that.
15:41:16 Ozzt: are you not looking for work in your field?
15:41:28 Ozzt: ((the nature of which escapes me at teh moment))
15:52:55 Devastator: What field is that?
15:53:47 Devastator: Nah, you're not supposed to work in a field anymore. You're supposed to work a long series of meaningless jobs.
15:56:50 Devastator: either that or you get into management, where you're paid great sums for doing very little.
15:58:26 Devastator: Yeah. You might get lucky and work in tech somewhere where you get paid well, because people with more money than brains want to fund your pointless deficit project for a few years.
15:58:45 Ozzt: it's the Demon side of Capitalism - what happens when Money is seen as the goal rather than as a tool for the benefit of the people, and the people are seen as a tool, rather than as the goal
15:58:45 Devastator: Anyway, how's Freddie doing?
15:59:02 Devastator: Nah, the smart money is on selling customers.
15:59:09 Devastator: Let them be your product.
16:00:08 Ozzt: hmm. Areyou getting impatient to have him back on his foot again?
16:00:11 Devastator: Other options are academics, where you're paid by charging entry fees for students so high it beggars them for the rest of their lives.
16:00:24 Devastator: Nah, just that every other game I'm in is on hold.
16:00:43 Ozzt: right, and my update pace is slowing a bit
16:00:54 Devastator: Yeah, you're doing fine.
16:01:03 Ozzt: back to my normal somewhat lethargic pattern :P
16:01:10 Devastator: But with everything else on hold got more time to think about Freddie.
16:01:35 Ozzt: I'll probably update today, but I've looked at it a couple times and just haven't felt it.
16:02:01 Ozzt: ATH pm'd me, wanting back into the game
16:02:17 Ozzt: so that will be interesting too.
16:04:22 Devastator: Oh, current orders are to see if Fred can reach his foot with his mouth.
16:07:03 Ozzt: yeah. I'll roll it out, but it should be easy enough now.
16:07:33 Ozzt: since he's been working with teh neural net and all. starting to get a sense ofthings, though he's still sluggish and clumsy at it
16:10:11 Devastator: fails are okay, you know. He's been doing pretty bad.
16:11:48 Ozzt: sure, but fails are pat of learning
16:13:34 Devastator: true. It won't make things worse, but you know.
16:14:38 Ozzt: right. there are always ways to fail, but not every fail is going to set something on fire.
16:17:06 Devastator: Besides, he can't even set things on fire right now.
16:17:09 Devastator: well, intentionally.
16:18:02 Ozzt: guess we'll have to get him out into one of the arenas with some combat dummies
16:18:21 Ozzt: Or, as I like to tcall themn, "Legionnaires"
16:19:00 Devastator: Probably. That'll likely be during next mission, assuming this one's mostly done.
16:19:40 Ozzt: If the team manages to keep Bruford form screwing it up, the mission is effectively over
16:20:09 Ozzt: If he does screw it up, I'll put the mission on a fail timer.
16:21:33 Devastator: I figure he's got to be able to walk or fly and breath fire before he'll be no more than a standard liability.
16:21:51 Devastator: because he's in no shape for melee for a long time.
16:23:01 Ozzt: maybe I'll make a side mission: "Train Freddie."
16:23:22 Ozzt: give people an opt out from the next mission, should they wish to just chill a bit.
16:27:29 Devastator: Don't think it'd be that interesting.
16:28:34 Ozzt: well, I like poking dumbasses at crazy things, so it'd probably be interesting forme, especially f they get creative enough, or pproviocative enough
16:28:58 Ozzt: and I wouldn't expect you to try to make it interesting for them.
16:29:13 Ozzt: just play Freddie as he is, and let them figure out the rest
16:33:04 Devastator: Human intelligent, can understand the language, just can't speak it.
16:33:34 Ozzt: I mean, if you don't want a side mission revolving around your character, that's fine too.
16:34:19 Devastator: I'd probably prefer that.
16:34:24 Ozzt: He's an interesting problem right now, so I think it has potential, but ultimately, he is your character,
16:34:53 Devastator: Not that interesting. Big guy can grab him, and basically everyone's fire resistant now.
16:35:32 Ozzt: "Not that inherently dangerous" maybe
16:35:50 Ozzt: but sicne the goal would be development, not combat against ... still interesting
16:36:09 Ozzt: and it would give yo usomething to work against :P
16:39:51 Devastator: well, if you run it, I'll participate.
16:40:24 Devastator: But I think he'll just get killed.
16:44:52 Devastator: someone will do something stupid and roll a six?
16:47:06 Ozzt: hmm. that's a reasonable concern
16:49:38 Devastator: I mean if he rolls a six he's just likely to have a mini-seizure and not do it.
16:49:47 Devastator: but someone else? Could easily happen.
16:51:34 Devastator: And someone sixing up a dumb move is always a possibility, but on a mission where they've got orders to fuck with Freddie, well.. it seems a lot more likely.
16:51:36 Ozzt: Ugh. I need to vent about the concepts people hold dear concerning extraterrestrial life.
16:51:52 Ozzt: God, I gotta go find an openminded forum to bitch in
16:52:42 Ozzt: I don't know. I haven't fond one yet :P
16:55:58 Devastator: Personally I'm not making any bet..
16:56:16 Devastator: Also, as soon as Freddie meets the big guy he's going to have size envy. ;-p
17:02:59 Devastator: thanks for stopping by.
17:03:10 Devastator: How big is the giant character, anyway?
17:05:08 Ozzt: I think about twenty five feettall maybe
19:34:10 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
21:37:20 ER: Kalameet's stipulation will probably be "take double damage", given that they seem pretty themed off of the bosses an in vanilla he drops the calimity ring.
21:38:26 ER: so if I beat all the other bosses before that one, I'm probably softlocked because he's a hard fight, but anything I fight after him will be with TAKING DOUBLE DAMAGE, maybe.
22:04:18 Devastator: well, one shot kills just means you need to be better.
22:04:22 Devastator: So how are you doing?
22:05:58 Devastator: Oz suggested having a side mission where people who want to skip the next mission fuck with Freddie.
22:35:20 Devastator: I don't think that'd be interesting.
23:05:00 Devastator: yay, got over orange hell.
23:05:04 Devastator: and stuck on the anvil jump.
23:05:09 Devastator: made it like 3 times, but keep falling.
