00:11:41 ER: "The Voidmother isn't real, of course, she's just a ridiculous story made up by people whose minds were taken by the Voidmother."
00:14:52 Devastator: What's that a quote from?
00:15:32 ER: he made the exact same joke last space christmas, but it's still funny
00:16:50 Devastator: All Hail the Voidmother.
02:16:39 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:20:32 syv: I keep playing this attack on titan game and it's not getting old.
02:21:07 syv: I can't think of any other game which has largely only one enemy type, and only two good maps, which holds my interest so well.
02:22:09 ER: well, there are different enemy types, they just all attack and die in the same way
02:24:52 syv: They literally use the same models and animations. I guess abnormals use different animations, and punks use *very* different animations, but aside from punks they're all fought about the same
02:44:17 syv: Got a 49 kill streak, new record.
03:00:45 syv: Some zonbies in Hunt have santa hats now!
03:13:54 syv: The netcode in this game is really just terrible.
03:49:22 Devastator: Roads in autoduel aren't that dangerous.
03:53:59 Devastator: Not so much, but played it a bunch yesterday.
03:54:19 Devastator: I doubt I'll go all the way up, but the endgame of winning the regional championships seems pretty remote.
03:55:04 syv: That's not the endgame, actually.
03:55:32 Devastator: Because I'd think winning each city's city championship and then winning the overall championship in New York would be the natural goal.
03:55:52 syv: The endgame is destroying the mob by surviving a very long courier mission with few resupplies while many many very powerful cars hunt you down.
03:56:05 syv: I've never gotten that far though.
03:56:27 syv: Regionals are more midgame.
03:56:35 syv: I've never beaten one of those, either.
03:56:59 Devastator: There's a level beyond the regional championship?
03:57:15 Devastator: Wow, that sounds like a lot.
03:57:41 Devastator: Also, a match in the 5k division pays 2200 cash for a win.
03:59:30 Devastator: Which paid for ammo and repairs, but not by that much.
04:00:19 ER: the game seems a bit unbalanced :P
04:00:31 Devastator: Yeah, 30k worth of vehicles, champion gets 2200.
04:01:27 ER: you'll pretty much always get more profit from rookie night with that kind of payout
04:04:20 ER: guess the arena's business model is to take advantage of optimistic young people who don't realize what a bad deal they're taking :P
04:06:10 Devastator: well, the 10k league might pay more.
04:06:13 Devastator: Do you know how much,
syv?
04:08:06 Devastator: I hope it's more than 2900, because I'll probably need a second gun to kill everybody.
04:09:27 syv: The guide recommended Division 15 for money, and also said that you want to spend as much cash as you can spare on mechanic lessons, because you can get a lot more money from salvaging the other competitors' cars.
04:11:06 Devastator: ahh, all I've gotten so far has been money.
04:11:24 Devastator: How many guns to complete a round of Div 15?
04:11:49 syv: I think he said two, if you were decent.
04:16:32 Devastator: What happens if you leave an arena match before everyone else is dead?
04:16:42 ER: I just thought of an interesting way to phrase rolling for things like hitting a stationary target or remembering something that's common knowledge.
04:17:13 ER: "roll to resist your own incompetence"
04:32:28 ER: that all sounds like more fun than usual for BR game
04:32:55 ER: and it's effectively a new game by Valve, which is rare. :P
04:35:09 Devastator: It's not a very great game.
04:35:21 Devastator: And they wrecked CS by utterly stuffing it full of hackers for the time being.
04:35:25 Devastator: It'll settle down in a few months.
04:36:00 ER: I did not expect
Dev to have opinions on CS, to be honest.
04:37:01 Devastator: I've played it before it was on Steam..
04:37:06 Devastator: ..but I'm no good at it.
04:38:05 ER: I can imagine, to be honest
04:38:34 ER: I've bought two different versions of it and never played it seriously :V
04:49:44 ER: well I'm taking my daily skimming of the ameripol thread and apparently the government is gonna shut down in 11 minutes.
04:50:02 Devastator: It's about the 15th time that's happened in 25 years.
04:50:50 ER: still, gotta love that disfunctional federal government :V
04:51:15 Devastator: Yesterday was more interesting with the whole confrontation. A judge saying "You can't both say the FBI screwed you over, AND plead guilty, at the same time."
04:52:20 ER: ...I must have not been paying attention
04:53:11 Devastator: Well, there were lots of people saying it was really about something different, but that's what actually happened.
04:56:37 Devastator: But noooo, the time to say something like that is after spending six months co-operating with the Feds in exchange for a guilty plea.
04:59:02 Devastator: Ooh, that's a sweet debuff.
04:59:11 Devastator: I gotta remember that trick to use in the future.
04:59:29 Devastator: "You each have five points of Positive Energy resistance." "So.. we resist healing?" "Yup."
05:01:21 Devastator: Yeah. It hits that sweet spot of 'not enough to be worth blowing a big spell on', but it's more than enough to be noticeable.
05:02:09 syv: If you leave an arena match without killing everyone then you get nothing, but keep your life.
05:03:59 ER: when are we going to get
dev to run an ADnD game for us on IRC? :P
05:04:53 Devastator: "I fly around to see what the runes on the underside of this bridge over this huge chasm do." "You don't need your Knowledge: Arcana check. They nullify all forms of flight magic."
05:05:01 Devastator: This dungeon is entertaining.
05:20:48 ER: I'm listening to a podcast and my tech-fu isn't good enough to isolate it from game sound, but I could still stream
05:24:25 ER: ...would be something about creating a virtual speaker device or... something
05:31:12 Devastator: You could just mute DS.
05:31:23 Devastator: or plug in a headphone and seperate the two.
05:31:49 Devastator: And you use OBS, right?
05:32:19 Devastator: Yeah.. looks like it wants devices.
05:32:28 Devastator: still, doable with headphones or something like that.
05:32:34 ER: I... don't see how muting DS will help in any way at all
05:33:18 Devastator: Mute DS, or send it to something that doesn't exist, then tell OBS to only use your speakers.
05:33:25 Devastator: ..which you sent DS to.
05:34:02 ER: I mean, I could just turn off sound in OBS and get the same effect
05:34:34 syv: Well... I wouldn't be watching the stream either way. Unless you're doing something interesting. :\
05:34:55 syv: Currently I'm busy playing Hunt.
05:35:12 ER: the only things I can point an application to in windows is "default" and the headphones, and OBS only sees desktop sound
05:39:11 Devastator grumbles. Right, I have a seperate sound card, but most people don't. Dammit.
05:39:19 Devastator: Shoot, sorry about that.
05:39:34 Devastator: I could just watch a muted stream.
05:39:38 ER: and even if I could afford one, this is a laptop :P
05:39:55 Devastator: 'afford' I think I got this one for free.
05:43:56 Devastator: ..and now, a bit of trickery, and I can listen to
ER's podcast! ;-p
05:44:17 Devastator: (may or may not be possible, not actually trying. Don't worry about it.)
05:47:35 syv: It's a pretty good game. I'm currently pretty much suiciding junk hunters to get better gear. Last match, I got killed by a team, but I shot one of them once!
05:47:57 syv: One was a fanning guy with a chain revolver, so I didn't stand much chance.
05:48:41 Devastator: What the hell is a chain revolver?
05:49:35 syv: It has 17 chambers linked together in a chain, instead of a cylinder.
05:50:15 Devastator: I'd tell you why that's a bad idea, except you'd know so better than I do.
05:50:35 Devastator: Capra seems to be winning.
05:50:50 ER: might need a different angle
05:54:43 Devastator: What's the plan this time around?
05:55:04 ER: the plan is to stop fighting capra for now :P
05:58:08 Devastator: oh, it seems to be a run about a naked chosen undead with a club. Maybe SL1 too, not sure.
05:59:04 Devastator: Yeah, SL1. Egan does have a shield, though.
06:00:38 Devastator: Is the undead guy in Smash Brothers?
06:05:01 Devastator: Apparently the naked bit was just Pre Havel's.
06:06:57 Devastator: It's okay, you can wear pants.
06:09:33 Devastator: I like that thief mask +1. It does nothing.
06:13:41 Devastator: Is capra still going to TAKE YOU OUT?
06:17:31 syv: How to beat Capra at SL1: Enter arena. Move forward, bait his jump, then move back out of range. Kill first dog, it will charge you. Run past capra (may need to roll), towards stairs. Bait second dog into following you, either kill it at the top, or if Capra's close behind, block until he falls off and THEN kill the dog.
06:17:44 syv: From there you can just 1v1 Capra, and that's easy.
06:17:57 syv: Oh, and wear metal pants or the Wolf ring.
06:18:17 ER: I am ALWAYS wearing the wolf ring
06:20:36 ER: I had a humanity and this is better than losing it
06:21:11 Devastator: 'It was free' is a perfectly good reason.
06:22:46 Devastator: lets see how long it lasts.
06:25:19 Devastator: Ahh, down goes Diablo 1.
06:27:14 Devastator: 'The Butcher' is a miniboss from that.
06:28:20 Devastator: It was not to last.
06:44:28 syv has quit [Quit: Definitely a psyv.]
07:03:35 Devastator: Thanks for the stream,
ER.
07:38:36 ER: this is my sl1 character, so I've been throwing away every item that I'll never be able to use due to having only 12 str and 8 dex
07:39:00 ER: and it turns out that I CAN use the eagle shield if I 2 hand it :P
07:39:11 ER: so, gonna be holding on to that!
07:53:51 ER: the eagle shield is a wooden greatshield and I love it
09:14:51 Devastator: oh, AVA is supposed to be getting updated fairly soon.
09:17:01 ER: is that the only thing where your starting class matters?
09:18:08 ER: if you start as a pyromancer, laurentius doesn't give you a pyromancy flame, and one of his dialogues is changed to "sorry, you're a pyromancer yourself so you already know this"
09:18:10 Devastator: Does it ever matter, except for starting stats?
09:18:32 Devastator: because you don't need two.
09:18:48 Devastator: well, you might want to throw fireballs with both hands.
09:18:52 ER: you can still get two though :P
09:19:14 ER: eingi still gives you a flame even if you already have one
09:21:25 ER: there's a third pyromancy teacher but she only appears at all if you already have a flame
09:21:42 Devastator: and knows not to give you one.
09:21:49 Devastator: does the bird give you something for a flame?
09:22:22 ER: I think it's a red chunk, or a red slab if you upgrade your flame enough
09:22:51 ER: it's likely not worth it :P
09:23:31 ER: unless maybe you grind for a LOT of souls and want a +10 fire or +5 chaos weapon
09:23:44 Devastator: I mean, you'd have to get spells.
09:23:46 Devastator: and spells are icky.
10:06:39 ER: welp, that game is addictive
10:07:22 ER: I have great combustion and a very large pyromancy flame though, which is very very good
10:23:10 ER: I think you can upgrade the flame like 30 times
10:30:13 Devastator: So it will actually go to extra large?
10:33:51 Devastator: How many shots do you get per bonfire?
10:34:13 ER: 8 shots of great combustion
10:38:52 ER: with power within on, a great combustion took off nearly half of Shiva's health bar, and he's not a weakling.
10:39:29 ER: the really nice thing about both kind of combustion is how quickly they cast, though.
10:40:32 ER: large bit of fire damage at the speed of a light attack with a small amount of AOE and no stamina consumption.
10:44:26 ER: it's just one of those things that lets you do a whole lot of damage all at once
10:45:13 Devastator: Yeah, that sounds like a lot of damage.
11:20:41 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
15:12:45 Devastator: Ahh, that's some proper madness.
