00:08:16 Devastator: I remember you posing a hypothetical about one of my character's rear ends a couple weeks ago.
00:09:56 er: That's just because butts are funny.
00:10:44 Devastator: I think disease madness worked into it too.
00:11:54 er: That was before I got sick, I think.
00:34:09 Devastator: I think that's what I was remembering.
00:35:27 Devastator: you thought saeko needed more butt.
00:36:47 er: Probably not a *need* there, but I'm sure it would come in handy.
00:37:01 Devastator: eh. If she survives this mission will probably have a pile of mana.
00:37:26 Devastator: and yes, clearly most important need, comrade.
00:39:37 Devastator: eh, probably will age her up soonish. I'd love to have d12 end, and that's as good a way as any other. Which should include butt.
00:42:56 Devastator: besides, found a pic of an oversized magical girl hug-tackling everyone, so it seems appropriate. ;-p
00:51:14 Devastator: wouldn't mind more strength too.
00:51:18 Devastator: more everything, really.
00:51:32 Devastator: probably not going to be enough mana for anything really massive.
00:51:54 Devastator: upping two stats to +2 will take 60.
01:04:14 Devastator: I do want more for her, though, I did roll 'go evil' on an ambition check a year ago.
01:05:32 er: Go evil in a way that looks like selflessness to everybody else.
01:06:11 Devastator: and be the next deity after kicking out Telcal.
01:09:15 Devastator: why kill when you can consume? ;-p
02:14:44 Devastator: Oh fuck, this isn't going well.
02:14:49 Devastator: playing race to space.
02:14:59 Devastator: Don't want failures on the re-entry checks.
02:15:05 Devastator: that's a little bit important.
02:15:31 Devastator: Wow, Alan Shepard got his ass kicked.
02:15:47 Devastator: he made it down, but his capsule filled with toxic gas and he had to be cut out of the capsule.
02:15:58 Devastator: I'm astonished the game didn't kill him.
02:17:45 Devastator: Wow, Wally Schierra had another flight that same turn, and his goes smoothly, except for the damn hatch getting stuck again.
02:43:12 Devastator: ok, I think I found my way around the interface enough to play.
02:45:24 Devastator: ' Such an error may range from catastrophic mission failure down to no effect (e.g. "The first imprint in the lunar surface is in fact made by a helmet visor. Crewman okay.")'
02:48:50 Devastator: ie, the guy tripped and fell going down the ladder.
02:49:31 Devastator: I do like the note in the manual about how crewman morale does not affect performance, only how happy they are staying in the program.

05:29:58 Devastator: 96 on the rocket check.
05:30:06 Devastator: and Gus Grissom bit it.
05:31:49 Devastator: huh, different videos for one dead astronaut and multiple dead astronauts.
05:32:57 Devastator: and blew up the launch pad.
05:46:24 Devastator: John Glenn got sick in space this time.
06:09:11 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:14:42 syv: Hrm. Was going to link that ass-men comic segment from the one manga, but it has more naked tits thzn I remember.
06:16:46 syv: Meh, you're both adults, and you both know
Piecewise.
06:20:56 syv: Or are you asking for context on the imgur album?
06:21:30 syv: Linked it because of the discussion of
ER's preference for asses.
06:22:04 syv: IIRC, it's from Prison School, one of those comedy/fetish mangas that's basically softcore porn, with a bent towards femdom.
06:23:19 syv: The old guy is a teacher or something who has the opportunity or incentive to punish the protagonists, and has strong opinions about body parts, the protagonist lies to him about liking asses to get in his good graces so as to avoid punishment.
06:23:23 Devastator: Prequels webpage went down.
06:23:46 Devastator: Looks like it wasn't renewed.
06:26:14 Devastator: so was that a good purity roll or a bad one?
06:26:40 Devastator: well, hope she wakes up.
06:26:55 Devastator: otherwise Alida's going to be a headcase about that power.
06:27:01 syv: Please, I wouldn't kill a char based on a single unavoidable die roll.
06:27:16 Devastator: Yes you would, but not this one.
06:27:48 Devastator: I can come up with lots of situations where one die roll might mean living or dying.
06:28:41 Devastator: Also, kaboomed another capsule in race for space.
06:28:45 syv: Unavoidable is the relevant part, everyone *has* to make a witch.
06:29:07 Devastator: "Will you witch on this timeskip?"
06:43:25 Devastator: I'm also preeety sure you can get in a situation where your choices are run away successfully to not die, or kill the witch this turn to not die, which isn't quite unavoidable but mostly unavoidable.
06:48:28 syv: Yes, but at least then the player can feel like their own actions led to that situation.
06:50:38 Devastator: plus some powers may provide other options.
06:54:08 syv: Shield is a nice "don't die" button.
06:57:21 Devastator: would it have stood up to that nuke?
07:06:58 syv: Eh? Maybe. Shield and soul nova are comparable, but it'd depend on distance.
07:55:50 er: No, I only like blood and knives.
07:59:37 er: Masochism? I don't like *my* blood.
08:03:54 er: Right. I dunno why people always think about masochism first; sadism is *obviously* way better!
08:05:14 syv: From a Wikipedia article on Russian superstitions: "If you wear clothes (such as an undershirt) inside out, you will get beaten. Your friend should point this out, wait for you to fix the clothes and then punch you symbolically.[4]"
08:05:53 syv: Also, if a bird poops on you, that's good luck.
08:09:38 syv: "Russian folk culture depicts the soul either as small and childlike, or having wings and flying. For forty days after a funeral, the soul of the deceased visits places it liked or places where it sinned to ask for forgiveness."
08:10:13 Devastator: so maybe a doll-faced thing then.
08:12:35 syv: Could make her soul gem a 7.62x39mm bullet.
08:13:22 syv: Give it a fancy gold casing which isn't the gem itself, so she can later fill it with powder and shoot herself somewhere.
08:13:58 syv: ..Hmm. If she makes her AK smoothbore that might not even kill her.
08:15:00 er: Then we'd need a parasitism power.
08:15:29 er: So that she can shoot her soul into someone's body and take it over.
08:16:28 Devastator: That sounds like a poor idea.
08:16:33 Devastator: I mean, yeah, shoot yourself somewhere.
08:17:45 Devastator: and if you shoot an enemy, hey, easy target.
08:17:46 er: That's why you've gotta seize one at the destination!
08:17:56 syv: "'A stranger should not look at a newborn baby before it is a certain age (between two months and one year). If one looks at the baby it is considered bad luck to compliment it. Instead, one could say, "Oh, what an ugly child!". ""
08:18:11 Devastator: Is that real or made up?
08:18:19 syv: I have to wonder if some editor put that there as a prank, giggling to themself the whole time.
08:19:09 syv: I bet there's people somewhere who believe that, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're also Russian.
08:19:57 syv: "One should never hand a knife directly to another person, as it is said that the two will get into a fight. Instead a person should always place the knife down on a surface, and only then can the other person pick it up. In several cases you can give it directly, but only pointing the sharp end to yourself and making the knife's handle accessible for the opposite person."
08:20:06 syv: See, that's just good knife handling.
08:22:13 er: How can it be good knife handling if there's no resultant blood?
08:23:01 syv: Because the vast majority of the time spent properly handling a knife does not involve blood.
08:23:15 syv: How many times have YOU intentionally drawn blood with a knife?
08:23:55 Devastator: any time gutting a fish.
08:24:57 syv: Shush you, you're Canadian.
08:25:27 Devastator: ..fish are reserved to canadians?
08:25:50 syv: I kinda doubt
ER's ever gutted a fish.
08:26:53 Devastator: Was there something special about Lucy's hands?
08:27:42 syv: ...That response is actually kinda amusing,
Dev. The one time in my life that I've gutted fish was during a trip to the border waters, and on that trip we accidentally caught some fish on the Canadian side, which we decided to let go of because teeechnically we shouldn't do that.
08:28:28 syv: The inspecting hands bit was because there's supposed to be a brief moment of "wait I'm me, not her", and the stereotypical response when someone's confused about their identity is looking at their hands.
08:28:52 Devastator: just wondering because of the reference to how plain her hands look.
08:28:56 Devastator: I mean, they would be.
08:29:05 Devastator: Lucy paint her nails?
08:29:43 syv: Oh, that's because there's a contrast between the idealized and extremely emotionally charged memories, and real life, which is kinda just boring by comparison.
08:30:15 syv: I always try and write something about the world being dimmer, or more boring, or something.
08:30:42 Devastator: Plus Lucy might have been a MG long enough to genuinely look different.
08:32:02 Devastator: plus she had sixth sense..
08:32:58 syv: Oh, yeah, Alida and Tooru would both have a vauge understanding of what Sixth Sense is like, now.
08:33:16 Devastator: although it sounds like she only had sixth sense 1.
08:35:13 er: Darn, I need to consume a green witch.
08:35:27 Devastator: I think everyone needs to consume a green witch.
08:35:31 Devastator: popular type, those.
08:38:45 er: But everyone else has bad spot checks, they wouldn't be able to use it as well as me~
08:38:50 syv: Witch flavor of soylent green?
08:39:22 syv: Lucy's sheet was actually supposed to be posted with her consumption...
08:40:14 er: Wonder how long before we run into Mina.
08:41:22 er: Because one, setting free your friend. Two, tasty green levels.
08:42:35 syv: "Korea: 1990. A KATUSA was trying to show us how you could press the slide back on a 1911, taking it out of battery and disabling it. We then proceeded to show him how our 1911s... having been in Korea since the '50s... would fire out of battery. I have a similar story told me by my wife's Aunt... my father-in-law got a 1911A1 for his birthday (Late '90s) and she was reminded how as a child (this would have been 30s or 40s) the Cincinnati chief
08:46:32 syv: "I have a similar story told me by my wife's Aunt... my father-in-law got a 1911A1 for his birthday (Late '90s) and she was reminded how as a child (this would have been 30s or 40s) the Cincinnati chief of police had been over for dinner. He was demonstrating how his 1911 wouldn't fire out of battery and shot himself through that hand."
08:48:21 Devastator: I think Mina's dead not a witch.
08:51:46 er: Also, the lesson is don't point your pistol at your own hand and then pull the trigger.
08:54:00 syv: The lesson is don't point your pistol at anything you don't want to shoot.
08:55:37 syv: Got that comment off a ForgottenWeapons video on the "Jet Li manuever", which is removing the slide from a 92F while it's pointed at you. Cringed through the last half of the video, because the presenter has an assistant hold him at gunpoint to demonstrate.
08:56:48 Devastator: it would be difficult to demonstrate that without doing so.
08:57:08 Devastator: I suppose the gun could be put into a stand.
08:59:18 syv: It's not *really* unreasonable. Gun was unloaded, uncocked, finger off the trigger, and everyone knew what was happening. It's just, such a massive nono. Never never never point guns at people you don't intend to kill.
08:59:47 syv: ...But movies do it all the time, as do militaries.
09:00:18 Devastator: also, people get shot by negligent discharges all the time.
09:00:59 syv: What really bugged me is that I thought he PULLED THE TRIGGER WHILE IT WAS STILL AIMED AT HIM, but on rewatch I think he was just gripping the trigger guard as leverage as he relocked the slide, but that's still... uggh.
09:23:36 Devastator: no, you can slp now.
09:23:38 er: Cause I feel like going to sleep.
09:23:54 syv: I'd like to do SOMETHING tomorrow, though.
09:24:02 syv: Play a game, watch a show, whatever.
09:24:11 Devastator: I should have some time.
09:24:35 syv: Uhh. Midnight your time or later.
09:24:43 syv: Your time also being my time.
09:24:55 syv: Maybe a little earlier if that's somehow necessary.
09:37:46 Devastator grumbles about how speedrunners call beating something in, say, 15:XX as beating it in fifteen minutes.
09:37:53 Devastator: that's beating it in sixteen minutes.
09:40:35 syv: First number is notable, I guess.
09:41:17 syv: Though it's kinda odd, I hear "sub X" an awful lot, as in "sub 100" for under 100 seconds.
