01:21:50 ER: The effect that Incite has varies depending on my own emotional state. Mercy is the stat used for self-restaint, so if you wanted to control what Incite does, having a good mercy stat would be a good idea.
01:22:10 ER: ...Though I might be able to do it with Purity.
01:22:29 Devastator: Or the other Pure could give you a pep-talk.
01:22:36 Devastator: someone affecting your mood.
01:22:56 PW: someone is effecting your mood?
01:23:30 ER: the other pure has cursed Love, I'm going to say that won't work.
01:25:22 Devastator: Well, without Prattle.
01:25:55 Devastator: but assist rolls work for everyone.
01:31:36 ER: bah, kinda wish I took Relieving Plight from Isabella
01:33:17 Devastator: That's a fun power.
01:35:52 Devastator: I wonder if L3 would let Alida smack holes in reality, or if that's reserved for like finale level Joy soul explosions.
01:35:55 Devastator: Triage is good yes.
01:36:01 Devastator: There are so many good powers, really.
01:36:18 ER: they're all good except for the bad ones
01:37:25 Devastator: There are a few bad ones.
01:37:41 Devastator: one got replaced! And I'm going to take the replacement.
02:41:34 Devastator: ..I hope PS isn't dead.
02:41:37 Devastator: I want to meet your character.
03:10:41 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:11:56 syv: PS isn't dead, I made good progress on stuff yesterday. I just care about the writing, which makes it intensely difficult to actually *do*.
03:13:51 ER: Now I just need to resist the desire to beat up ada because if I don't I only need to wait for
paris~
03:14:12 Devastator: Just mind control Ada.
03:14:29 Devastator: If she worships you, you don't need to beat her up.
03:14:57 ER: Pretty sure that doesn't work.
03:15:15 ER: maybe I could blend MC with incite?
03:15:21 syv: I should probably jnterject and have her father say something...
03:16:11 syv: Oh, and you can roll Purity to induce some kind've emotion. Like the opposite of self-restraint. Making yourself really mad for no reason would be Purity, not Mercy.
03:16:53 ER: So I'd need Mercy to make myself really calm?
03:17:31 syv: Some sundry other stuff can be done with other stats. Joy would be rolled to make yourself happy, love to make yourself compassionate (in absence of already being aggressive) etc. It's all very vauge and undefined though.
03:17:44 ER: using Incite to say "calm the FUCK down!" might be hard.
03:18:05 Devastator: Just be that good. ;-p
03:18:08 syv: In fact I'm pretty sure that's one thing it just doesn't do.
03:18:23 Devastator: What if you take drugs first?
03:18:36 ER: Though Incite WOULD soften up her Purity roll to resist MC, which is obviously handy.
03:19:16 syv: Gah, drugs. Fucking soulgems, how do they work with chemicals?
03:19:59 syv: Pretty sure Sophia is immune to drugs regardless, thanks to Immaculate Soul. She just drinks beer for the placebo.
03:20:20 Devastator: You have to put the gem in it.
03:20:23 ER: rip your soul from it's physical processes, but make it work exactly the same regardless!
03:20:29 Devastator: like that ridiculous fanfic I was reading.
03:21:06 Devastator: does level 1 IS provide complete protection from chemicals?
03:21:31 ER: ...If our soul interacts with things we precieve through our eyes and ears, I don't see why drugs wouldn't work the same.
03:22:38 ER: I wanted to give Ada a beer and/or bananna, but you had me consume my whole stock on the trip :(
03:22:48 syv: (
Devastator) like that ridiculous fanfic I was reading.
03:23:45 syv: If you want to have a spare banana to share, have a spare banana to share. Pull it out of a back pocket or something.
03:24:34 Devastator: was some sort of noir treatment. Went lovey-dovey after a while.
03:24:40 ER: no approval of handing alchohol to a 14 year old girl?
03:24:54 Devastator: you put the soulgem in the booze to get drunk.
03:25:39 syv: Her father is *right there*.
03:26:43 ER: Sophia doesn't know that's her dad, and would probably need to think about it for a second before realizing that giving booze to children is a bad thing
03:26:44 syv: I can only imagine PM3 fics tend to go lovey dovey. Most fics do, and then there was the yuri subtext, which I'm sure fanfiction authors would go crazy for.
03:26:54 Devastator: does Sophia understand what a dad is?
03:27:04 Devastator: And yeah, it was inevitable.
03:27:36 syv: But yeah, having a spare banana strikes me as more reasonable than having spare booze, for an addict with equal supply of both (who doesn't actually need either anyway).
03:31:06 ER: well, guess I'll make sure "toss a bananna at her" is one of the options on my power wheel
03:32:13 Devastator: free banana totems.
03:32:36 Devastator:
PW, where's that vid with the banana conveyor?
03:49:59 Devastator: does IS 3 let you fly? Because the lack of ground doesn't hinder you.
03:52:40 syv: "Not able to fly" isn't a status effect. You can't use IS to Iron Heart Surge the sun, or whatever munchkinny strats you're thinking of.
03:54:14 Devastator: yeah, but it says not hindered in any environment.
03:54:21 Devastator: You'd be able to move fine in space, right?
03:58:03 syv: Sure, space doesn't hinder movement. :P
04:01:13 Devastator: I could absolutely imagine a labrynth where we're basically in space.
04:03:09 syv: Maybe you should tell RGU to wish for jetpacks, then.
04:07:23 Devastator: I figure I'll take the SS13 method of hitting stuff in the opposite direction.
04:07:30 Devastator: totally going to start carrying ammo.
04:08:38 Devastator: or just taking mob 3 and hoping for the double-jump to make it.
04:10:26 Devastator: there are no problems that can't be solved by hitting things hard enough.
04:11:11 syv: A robust solution, yes. All the world's a nail.
04:13:27 Devastator: hey, if the problem isn't solved, just hit things harder. ;-p
04:14:32 Devastator: well, the dragon in oz's game was 10 set things on fire. 20 goto 10.
04:15:43 Devastator: do one thing, but do it really really well, and you're going to contribute.
04:15:55 PW: Are you guys aware of the The Crimson Permanent Assurance?
04:16:14 syv: Enemies? Sword. Bills? Sword. Papercut? Sword.
04:18:18 PW: Its a monty python short film
04:18:30 PW: That I have been considering making a game system out of because it seems fun
04:18:59 Devastator: 48 hours between
PW deciding to limit himself and
PW wanting to start new game.
04:19:27 PW: A game system need not mean I start anything
04:19:39 PW: I've made tons of systems I've never run
04:19:49 ER: make something good instead
04:19:50 PW: because I'm a maaaaad maaaaan
04:20:02 syv: Shush, your reality means nothing for our memes about you.
04:20:46 syv: I think in
ER's opinion "something good" means a magical girl game.
04:21:23 Devastator: Cabal isn't a MG game?
04:21:23 PW: But the film, if you don't watch it, is about a bunch of old men turning their insurance building into a pirate ship and raiding other buildings.
04:21:49 Devastator: I'm okay with land pirates.
04:23:29 syv: Didn't know that was the name of it.
04:27:33 ER: of course I require there to be more magical girl games because I play nothing but magical girls
04:29:08 Devastator: except when you don't.
04:30:36 syv: Those times are purely because of the limits of the system, though.
04:30:52 syv: That's why those games aren't "something good".
04:31:05 syv: Alice in 888th, Wiellste in Dig.
04:31:27 ER: plane skill is pretty magical >.>
04:32:59 ER: Wiellste *is* a mage. Just not one who doesn't explode.
04:33:40 ER: partly due to mixing my priorities a little, partly due to the system not liking when mages don't explode.
04:33:54 Devastator: I don't think your bird qualifies as one.
04:38:36 PW: I'm not sure what I would do with a magical girl game
04:38:53 PW: Grim dark magical girls are actually overdone now
04:39:22 PW: Maybe I'd make a lab sim about people trying to make magical girls where you play as the scientists instead of the girls
04:41:15 ER: Well, I've got one game where it's grimdark, but more because of the world itself, and... another game where it's grimdark because of the world. Hmm.
04:44:01 Devastator: some grim dark, some not grim dark, but there is only war.
04:44:09 Devastator: Just sometimes the war is gunfire and sometimes the war is sparkles.
04:44:10 ER: "medium" is what FMD is to me
04:45:34 syv: (
PW) I'm not sure what I would do with a magical girl game
04:45:39 syv: You already made one though
04:47:06 PW: I've heard what those players do
05:10:04 ER: did you know that hesitation is defeat?
05:11:11 ER: I should mention that I haven't played because my controller decided to be broken
05:14:12 PW: Why would you link a K6BD page that is just 3 people at a table?
05:18:57 ER: also because fuck you I do what I want
05:19:01 PW: plagiarizing a good line and connecting it to his eastern religion wordsalad.
05:20:44 PW: Also the fact that we're fighting Homo Demons in death stranding amuses me
05:21:09 ER: someone link that because I'm too last to use a search bar
05:46:59 syv: How does Sophia know about social graces like handshakes? :P
05:49:33 syv: But few of those humans would have social graces. Fewer would use them on her.
05:50:13 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
05:50:28 parisbre56: maybe she ate the memory of a handshake
05:50:29 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
05:51:21 syv: Yeah, any weirdly adjusted behavior Sophia has I'll just blame on her eating Isabella.
05:51:36 syv: Isabella was pretty good, socially.
05:51:41 ER: I count that kind of guesture as part of the language, and Sophia knows english.
05:51:49 ER: Or whatever we're supposed to be using.
05:54:30 syv: I apparently gave Isabella cursed Love, okay. Guess she was actually somewhat clumsy socially, prolly just too conflict-averse to make effective requests or commands.
05:55:06 ER: That means that I have better Love than Ada OR Isabella!
05:55:51 syv: Some things make no sense.
05:57:15 syv: Interestingly, Ada is just slightly more merciful than Sophia. And... equally innocent, that is to say not at all.
05:57:47 ER: She's uh, definately stronger than me.
05:58:04 syv: Ada can punch, but Sophia can hide.
05:58:14 syv: Otherwise, very similar statwise.
05:58:30 ER: Hiding, a very important skill.
05:59:12 ER: Also used for perception, of course.
05:59:21 syv: ...And Sophia is quite a lot more, uh, explosive in terms of powerset.
05:59:30 Devastator: that's.. concievable.
05:59:40 Devastator: learning through eating the flesh of fallen angels.
06:00:18 syv: It's really quite impressive to come up with a more overly dramatic term than "grief seed" here.
06:00:19 Devastator: ..although, I'd expect they might put a TV in the room with the slaves, to keep them 'occupied.'
06:00:56 syv: There's lots of reasonable things that they didn't do, I deliberately didn't attempt to write a realistic scenario.
06:01:05 ER: the chain of your logic often seems to poke through inexplicable wormholes,
dev.
06:01:24 Devastator: how you might learn a handshake: Seeing one on TV.
06:01:43 syv: Nah, he's right. Modern day slaves are way better off than the standard fantasy-setting slaves, which is more what Sophia's situation was like.
06:02:44 syv: Though she was in more of a temporary holding facility, so maybe where she used to be was better! I'unno, not gonna think about it.
06:04:01 Devastator: No matter how shitty a situation she was in, someone was in a worse one.
06:04:11 Devastator: There are some case studies out there..
06:04:15 syv: Extremely Rankled seems inexplicably mad
06:05:01 ER: possibly distracted by surreal imagery
06:05:36 Devastator: I bet that's the one I was thinking of.
06:05:49 syv: I'd like it if you could find me something worse, I haven't put any work towards that end in *myself*, so there's prolly something.
06:06:19 syv: Though I have a feeling anyone who was worse off wouldn't be on the internet 'cause they died beforehand.
06:06:21 Devastator: although that's worse than the one I was thinking of.
06:06:38 Devastator: the one I was thinking of was held in an attic.
06:06:48 syv: I guess I illustrated your point for you? :P
06:57:24 Devastator: running your turn,
ER.

07:42:10 sy: Why are all the magic teachers shit?
07:43:06 ER: which is one of the more entertaining roadtrip vlogs I've watched, not that I've watched many of those!
07:45:52 Devastator: no 50 minute video is a lonely drive..
07:48:07 Devastator: I can't find the seven-day video of the trans-siberian railway.
07:56:55 syv: Seven day video? As in, one single video that's 170 hours long? Or a series of videos about a seven day trip?
08:07:21 syv: I didn't realize Youtube would even do that. Or any sight.
08:09:09 Devastator: It was long before youtube.
08:09:28 Devastator: although I am amused to see an ad about google doing the same thing and selling it! ;-p
08:38:15 syv: So... is Sophia gonna go to school?
08:40:57 Devastator: hmm, that'll be odd.

08:55:22 ER: which means Ada sits to my right, hmm.
08:56:18 syv: I think I'm gonna finish Lucy's first mem before continuing your little plotline.
09:14:48 ER:
dev, what are the actual rules for what physical objects I can bring back from the godrealm?
09:15:23 ER: What I'm carrying, sure, what how far does that count? I could make a big pile of books and strap myself to it...
09:15:28 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
09:16:36 parisbre56:
syv, btw, since you never actually described it to me, I assumed Sophia's gem was hidden. Is it actually the ring
er mentions?
09:16:41 parisbre56: not that it would change much
09:16:56 parisbre56: just to form a more accurate mental image
09:16:58 ER: Thought he said that he described it
09:17:22 parisbre56: oh? then I must have missed it
09:17:31 syv: If he mentioned it, it is. It's subtle enough Sophia could've kept it hidden, so I didn't describe it initially, and when I asked, he specifically said that it *wouldn't* be on the hand Sophia offered for a handshake.
09:18:09 ER: Yeah, no effort to hide it or show it off.
09:18:19 syv: I said I would, figuring it'd be obvious with the handshake, then you said that she specifically wouldn't use that hand. So... yeah.
09:19:10 syv: @
ER I know for a fact that it's possiblr to take that ninja back in some form.
09:19:11 ER: "An anatomical heart, mounted on a terribly rusted iron ring, and worn on her right hand."
09:19:38 ER: Yeah,
Dev described to be how to bring back a spirit
09:19:43 syv: Mm, too bad Sophia already has IS. The rusted iron ring does nothing for her.
09:19:58 ER: but I want a solid limit on the shit I can carry back too...
