02:57:16 Devastator: Well, this looks boring.
02:57:19 Devastator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBZjf96WbGQ
03:21:24 ER: ...yup
03:23:55 Devastator: Nothing from MJ, so I'm just going to do the first turn for the three of you.
03:39:22 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]

04:07:14 Devastator: MJ just poked his head in here.
04:15:21 Devastator: "You can't be the best, you don't have a hat."
04:15:24 Devastator slowclaps
04:22:27 Devastator: oh, the eye also brings gold to the foreground layer, so it's in front of any debris.
04:32:19 Devastator: Hmm.
04:32:28 Devastator: do you get more than one kiss for freeing a damsel from a kissing booth?
04:32:41 ER: Don't think so.
04:32:55 Devastator: "You can have her for $75000
04:32:59 Devastator: That's pretty steep.
04:33:05 ER: Yup.
04:33:25 Devastator: I might try to steal one.
04:33:31 Devastator: I did kill a shopkeeper once.
04:33:39 Devastator: Found a shotgun, so thought I'd try that.
04:34:16 ER: they're easy enough to kill, you just have to deal with the conseqences for the rest of the game
04:34:16 Devastator: Next level had another shopkeeper by the exit.
04:34:48 Devastator: How many hits for the big spider? I did five for one and it was still alive.
04:35:13 ER: if you steal something or break their shit, they'll only be mad for a few levels, but if you kill one, it's forever
04:35:38 ER: dunno how much HP for big spiders.
04:36:00 Devastator: so you'd have to juke the exit shopkeeper instead of killing.
04:36:06 ER: they have a lot of HP, a lot of mobility, and do 2 damage
04:36:27 Devastator: Yeah. I've only gotten kills with bombs.
04:36:57 ER: what you want to do is not activate them, and toss a bomb into their web.
04:37:09 Devastator: That works, yes.
04:37:14 ER: I never try to fight them properly. :P
04:37:36 ER: one bomb for stickybombs and some gems, it's a good idea
04:44:01 Devastator: Yeah, one kiss.
04:44:07 Devastator: They're probably priced to be stolen.
04:45:47 ER: buying is strictly less optimal than just getting a kiss, especially because you can get multiple kisses.
04:46:24 Devastator: Yeah.
04:46:28 Devastator: hence priced to steal.
04:46:38 Devastator: heh, got past the exit shopkeeper.
04:46:41 Devastator: lets see how many levels that goes.
04:49:57 Devastator: Holy fuck.
04:50:06 Devastator: Holy fuck, that's good news.
04:50:10 Devastator: Incredibly good news.
04:51:06 Devastator: That's so good news it's incredibly.
04:51:09 Devastator: incredible.
04:51:14 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:51:18 syv: bwah
04:51:21 Devastator: Heya syv.
04:51:26 Devastator: http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2018/10/18/small-molecule-structures-a-new-world
04:51:28 syv: Heya dev.
04:51:34 syv: Okay...
04:51:40 syv: You are fast.
04:51:42 Devastator: That's an incredible scientific breakthrough you're looking at right there.
04:52:11 syv: I'm probably not conscious enough to appreciate it.
04:53:06 Devastator: It might cut drug development time and costs by about a quarter.
04:53:17 Devastator: And it opens up vast new fields in all sorts of thing.
04:57:02 Devastator: It could have happened five years ago if someone just had the right idea, too, which is nifty.
04:57:11 syv: I am only barely conscious enough to appreciate it.
04:57:42 syv: Anyway, not running anything tonight, because I am very very tired, as my references to consciousness imply.
04:57:45 Devastator: Well, it'll revolutionalize mettalurgy after about six months.
04:57:48 Devastator: dammit.
04:57:53 syv shrugs
04:58:09 syv: I could force myself, but it wouldn't turn out great.
04:58:29 Devastator: ok.
04:58:44 Devastator: I'll work on the birgame in a few hours then.
04:58:57 syv: I think the game would benefit from a lot more thinking about numbers, too. Or less numbers in general. :P
04:59:17 syv: I like things to be much too overcomplex.
05:02:39 Devastator: Is a stolen die worth anything?
05:04:08 syv: A stolen die?
05:04:22 syv: I'm not sure what you're asking.
05:04:32 Devastator: I'm asking ER.
05:04:34 Devastator: playing spelunky.
05:05:06 ER: I mean, you can use it as a rock to trigger arrow traps?
05:08:34 Devastator: Okay, so no cash.
05:08:52 ER: most things aren't worth cash?
05:09:09 ER: only the golden heads you pick up, really
05:10:51 Devastator: so I'd need to paint them gold, check.
05:24:43 syv: Hey, what special traits might a giant gun used by giant robots have?
05:25:07 ER: grappling hook!
05:25:09 ER: ~
05:25:44 syv: Sadly that doesn't mesh with the rest of the stats, which assume you are killing things very dead.
05:26:01 syv: Though...
05:26:08 syv: Actually it would work as a melee special.
05:26:21 ER: Electrcity, stuns the enemy
05:26:29 ER has quit [Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- It'll be on slashdot one day...]
05:27:48 syv: Yeah, tha--huh?
05:27:48 Devastator: That's some tazer.
05:27:48 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:27:48 syv: Taze yourself?
05:27:48 syv: Electricity stun works, is good.
05:32:34 Devastator: Spiderbots.
05:32:34 Devastator: The shot contains tiny robots with plasma cutters.
05:32:34 Devastator: they tear apart the enemy robot.
05:32:34 ER: When you shoot, the gun itself is shot forwards and explodes for massive damage
05:32:34 ER: the gun shoots mines which stick to surfaces and explode when the enemy gets close.
05:32:34 Devastator: It's a fist-gun.
05:32:34 Devastator: ranged melee.
05:32:34 Devastator: fist on a chain.
05:32:34 ER: When you shoot, the gun fires like 30 times all at once and then melts to slag.
05:32:34 syv: Guns in this one are infinite ammo, so no drones. No self-destruction either, though there are single use guns, they naturally have boons. Mines works, yet another explosive mod.
05:32:34 Devastator: Cryo-gun, then.
05:32:49 syv: "Fist on a chain" is far too specific, but throwable/returns is a decent melee mod. Kiiinda makes it odd that it differentiates between melee and guns, but then again the gun generator does spit out melee weapons, so eh.
05:32:54 syv: Cryo-gun?
05:32:59 ER: The gun shoots pommels, to end thine opponant rightly
05:33:40 Devastator: Shoots shells filled with liquified gases.
05:33:49 syv: "What it shoots" can't be defined, only the effects of what it shoots.
05:34:22 ER: roll for both a ranged weapon and melee weapon and combine them in the stupidest and coolest possible way.
05:34:35 Devastator: freezes stuff.
05:35:37 syv: Hum. Could sorta do that last one, ER. There's a generic melee attachment mod, but that would be better if it outright rolled for what form the melee weapon took.
05:36:26 syv: "This sawn off shotgun has a throwable spear attached to it by a long chain. The shotgun's max range is 15 feet. The chain is 40 feet long."
05:37:09 Devastator: Implosion. It destroys whatever part it hits, but can never destroy more than a part.
05:38:04 ER: stick a scythe on it
05:38:07 syv: That is... Hmm. Basically a vorpal enchant.
05:38:33 ER: snicker snak
05:41:09 syv: snicker snek
05:41:18 syv: I should make a random mech generator.
05:42:30 Devastator: random mech pilot generator.
05:42:48 syv: Nah.
05:42:50 syv: Mech robots.
05:43:00 syv: Humans are a waste of space.
05:43:09 syv: also, boring.
05:43:22 Devastator: Mechs piloted by robots?
05:43:24 Devastator: works for me.
05:44:04 syv: Am I piloting myself?
05:44:51 syv: Though I guess technically they are piloted by separate robots in SotM.
05:45:20 syv: You can totally rip out an enemy's brain and jam your own brain into their body, taking it over yourself.
05:46:20 ER: nah, I don't want to do that
05:46:40 ER: I want to lay my eggs in the brains of another robot
05:47:17 syv: That's a weird fetish, but I won't judge.
05:54:55 ER: I am watching a dumb video
05:54:55 syv: What a coincidence! So was I.
05:55:26 syv: https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/832ywk/how_to_set_your_house_on_fire/
05:55:29 ER: https://youtu.be/-HLFX7BUZco
05:55:59 syv: Why is that video a half hour long?
05:56:07 syv: How is that video a half hour long?
05:56:27 ER: because
05:56:42 ER: obsessive attention to detail
05:59:15 Devastator: Wow that's dumb.
06:00:54 syv: Why is there dramatic reveal music playing while he complains about there being TOO MUCH TACTILE DETAIL?
06:01:16 syv: How is he complaining about that and not the fact that Mario's mustache is black, and his hair brown?
06:01:25 ER: hah
06:01:34 ER: don't worry, he'll get to that
06:02:11 Devastator: I know lots of people with different coloured mustaches from their hair.
06:02:13 syv: That's also not trypophobia, and it's not a trypophobic image because it does nothing for my trypophilia.
06:02:15 ER: "it's a truly hair-raising question"
06:02:25 Devastator: *I* have a different coloured mustache from my hair.
06:02:37 Devastator: My beard is more different.
06:03:44 syv: I just took a selfie. Beard, stache, and hair all match.
06:04:04 syv: Then again I'm partially colorblind, so maybe I'm wrong.
06:04:37 Devastator: There's no mistaking it with me. My hair is dark brown, my mustache is a bit lighter, and my beard is clearly red.
06:05:03 Devastator: Like it isn't even close.
06:06:28 syv: This video is just a half hour of a man complaining about how he's personally disgusted by high-resolution images of hair, isn't it?
06:06:42 ER: hehehe
06:07:05 Devastator: I think he's stoned.
06:07:14 Devastator: This is the modern equivalent of 'dude, my hands are huge.'
06:07:23 ER: well, on the bright side, he's just making a very high-effort joke, but it's pretty convincing nonetheless
06:08:13 Devastator: I do like that house fire video.
06:08:26 syv: "When I show this image to people--friends, strangers, uber drivers--it's one of the things that pops out to people."
06:09:10 Devastator: Yes. It's horrifying. Now please, get out of my house. Please. Just leave..
06:09:25 syv: I do enjoy the mental image of a scruffy, unkempt man, hunting down other people and showing them an image of Mario, then going on a rant about how unsettling it is an how horrible Nintendo is as a company because of this.
06:09:40 Devastator: He's not unkempt.
06:09:43 Devastator: He lives in a barrel.
06:09:43 syv: "Why are you in my bathroon?"
06:10:09 Devastator: Can't be unkempt if there are no clothes.
06:10:11 Devastator: ;-p
06:10:13 syv: "I'm trying to tell you to shave more often. And to get rid of the head hair too. It's *disgusting*."
06:10:22 syv: Sure you can.
06:10:54 Devastator: Yeah, I suppose.
06:12:30 syv: "Unfortunately the results were no less upsetting."
06:17:10 ER: haaaaaah
06:17:32 Devastator: heh.
06:17:35 ER: his final remark is "like it or not, he's- hair, to stay"
06:17:39 Devastator: The real solution. Keep the damn hat on.
06:17:47 ER: it's all buildup to a bad pun
06:18:02 Devastator: Ahh, so a feghroot.
06:19:46 syv: Huh, I only now notice that the vid has 31k upthumbs to 9k downthumbs. That's a remarkable ratio for a YT video.
06:20:02 Devastator: The pun is too much to bear.
06:22:44 syv: The tennis ball actually does look tasty.
06:23:41 syv: That's enough of this.
06:25:25 ER: now I'm seeing mario's face for split seconds as my eyes glance over the reflection in my monitor
06:25:32 ER: it may be too late for me
06:26:23 syv: Nah, you gotta install a weird app and look at the texts it sends you to get that curse.
06:26:28 syv: It'll stop soon.
06:27:15 ER: it will indeed, all be over soon
06:27:38 Devastator: all is mario.
06:27:41 Devastator: mario
06:27:45 Devastator: mari..
06:27:51 ER: I say as the light flickers in my room, leaving me with only the light of my laptop for a split second
06:27:59 ER: the wind rushing outside
06:28:17 Devastator: a flash of red.
06:28:51 ER: a distant "here we go!"
06:35:36 Devastator: woo! whoo! Ahoo!
06:35:43 Devastator: A press challenge down to 20 A presses now.
06:46:41 syv: Steady progress.
06:48:28 ER: progress? progress!
06:48:31 syv: Does Watch for Rolling Rocks still need half an a-press?
06:50:01 syv: I expect the jump from 1 to 0 A-presses to be the most painful.
06:58:11 Devastator: Yes.
06:58:13 Devastator: Never happen.
06:58:23 Devastator: There are 3 that won't ever be removed, sadly.
06:58:37 Devastator: well, 2 of them.
06:59:36 syv: Which? Why?

08:24:17 syv: Why isn't "The Human Race" a sport where aliens capture humans and race them like dogs in an arena?
08:24:51 Devastator: It isn't?
08:24:58 Devastator: I mean, the arena isn't what you would expect.
08:28:19 syv: Nah, thw humans've gotta be aware that they've been captured.
08:35:30 Devastator: sure.
08:40:02 Devastator: Heh, writing the turn and realized that PW gave me everything but a name. Including effing poetry.
08:40:13 Devastator: I don't normally miss stuff like that.
08:40:16 Devastator: must be getting old.
08:42:07 syv: You ARE old. Very old
08:42:32 syv: So old not even XKCD has a chart to make you feel old.
08:42:45 Devastator: Oh, I called your perk 'Boundless enthusiasm'
08:42:48 Devastator: ok?
08:43:51 syv: You could call it "Stinks like old fish", as long as it does what you said it'd do.
09:09:33 Devastator: Sent the turn, btw.
09:09:43 Devastator: I'll be talking with MJ this week. Next turn will be around Wednesday.
09:10:42 syv: Ooh.
09:10:47 syv: He ever make a char?
09:13:34 syv: I guess not.
09:13:40 syv: Radio BCC'd?
09:15:26 Devastator: Yes.
09:15:33 Devastator: I'll talk to MJ some time this week. He's been busy.
09:15:50 Devastator: If that means he can't play, three is enough to play the game.
09:15:56 syv: Yeah. He's always busy, and it's his own fault.
09:16:37 syv: Far as I understand, whenever he winds up with free time he finds something to jam in there, and inevitably overbooks himself too.
09:16:56 syv: Do I need to respond with the god?
09:17:22 syv: Or, should I say, would you rather I do to kickstart player communication?
09:17:24 Devastator: I'd prefer it.. be nice to let the other players know too.
09:17:38 Devastator: I'll also happily answer any questions.
09:19:19 Devastator: The differences between gods mechanically isn't that large. Some are a little better at one thing than another. They will recommend different things if you ask them. And if you just take something you find lying around those will be different artifacts for different gods.
09:19:29 syv: Sent.
09:19:32 Devastator: ok.
09:20:44 Devastator: Oh, Nakéen's logged in.
09:23:49 Devastator: There is one more thing.
09:24:11 Devastator: One of the rolls for each of you will be how the god feels about your people.
09:24:21 Devastator: If you pick the same one and roll bad, it might be a short game.
09:26:05 syv: So we should pick one at a time until we find one who really loves our people.
09:26:25 Devastator: One shot at it, I'm afraid.
09:26:44 Devastator: Even if it's hostile you should be able to get something. It just makes it harder to get what you want.
09:27:14 Devastator: One of the actual game characters found a dead god, for instance, and would have had a good chance.
09:28:32 Devastator: Plus if you go wandering you might find other gods around, that aren't on the list.
09:28:48 Devastator: ..although going wandering is by no means safe.
09:34:45 Devastator: Heh.
09:34:49 Devastator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvJaW0bMwA8
09:37:05 Devastator: THATs how I should have done it.
09:37:19 Devastator: Dammit, that would have been so much better.
09:37:50 Devastator: (Checked out which Ogre Battle theme he picked, since I don't know their names.)
09:38:06 syv: Chronomancers wish people would just forget their creation of the "Kids to Adults" spell. It seemed like it would economically useful at the time!
09:38:22 Devastator: I should have made 'build ogre battle style units, the tactical game, instead of battlemobs.'
09:38:47 syv: "instead of battlemobs" would've been in the name?
09:38:54 Devastator: Maybe.
09:39:39 syv: I should've named PS "Pumsy's Seeds, a ~MAGICAL GIRL~ game, instead of Mechalopolis!"
09:40:01 syv: The confusion it would've caused would've been worth it.
09:40:24 Devastator: Glorious.
09:40:49 Devastator: Ahh, he went with that one from Terranigma.
09:41:17 Devastator: I prefer the sad theme instead of that one.. but it's fine.
09:41:32 syv: "I made this video for myself _shrug_"
09:41:39 syv: "New video every Tuesday!"
09:41:54 syv: Quite a self-absorbed individual, I guess.
09:42:29 Devastator: Not bad content, imo.
09:42:37 Devastator: Decent speaking voice and doesn't take forever to say something.
09:53:26 Devastator: Ahh, nice to be writing something again.
10:12:01 syv: What now?
10:12:56 Devastator: Just enjoying the post-update relaxation feeling.
10:13:04 Devastator: Haven't been working, remember.
10:15:13 Devastator: Actually, there is a way to screw yourself in CULT.
10:15:14 syv: Ahh.
10:15:22 Devastator: PW threatened to make me fictional.
10:15:28 syv: Figured you meant you were writing something now.
10:15:33 Devastator: that is, in-universe fictional.
10:16:01 syv: In the Mouth of Madness?
10:16:25 Devastator: Something like that. I think that's what would have happened if I went straight for 'shadowrun dragon' in one shot.
10:24:25 Devastator: "You're a fictional character."
10:24:39 Devastator: Hence why I'm worried about dying. In addition to the whole plane sized moth bit.
10:29:06 Devastator: "Make me increasingly angelic as I gain favor."
10:29:28 syv: I like that one.
10:29:40 syv: Angels can be fucked up, though.
10:33:28 Devastator: Oh yeah. There's some incredibly fucked up angels.
10:33:32 Devastator: and PW would know all about them.
