02:08:33 Devastator: Ahh, Ally, never change.

06:54:25 Devastator: I do like her style, though.
06:54:41 er: I really hope it doesn't work.
06:55:01 Devastator: It's the kind of philosophy I can get behind.
06:55:37 Devastator: Similar to one of Canada's famous war heroes.
06:58:51 Devastator: although in his case it was "I only need one eye to sight down my rifle."
07:14:42 Devastator: Also, good work forgetting the mantry.
07:15:49 er: Like a pantry where you keep your man.
07:34:35 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:55:41 Devastator: so are sophia and ada going to enjoy awesome drunken magical girl adventures?
07:56:52 ER: We both have Immaculate Soul and if that's POSSIBLE to turn off, we don't realize that we have to yet.
07:57:20 Devastator: Just dip the soul gems in it.
07:58:38 ER: these two teenaged girls came in holding hands and ordered beers then they just dropped their jewlry in it and sloshed it around a little.
07:59:09 Devastator: I'd bet you could get drunk, probably just have to try hardre.
07:59:29 Devastator: IS1 isn't immunity, right? Just drink like six shots of whisky.
08:06:10 Devastator: ..and reading IS2, I think that might mean that a lethal dose of alcohol might still have an effect, so just like a dozen shots each.
08:06:46 ER: partly because I started reading from the start of that book and it's a good one :P
08:08:48 ER: you saying that Broken Wind isn't good? :P
08:10:23 Devastator: The giant ship one, right?
08:10:40 Devastator: That wasn't bad, but I'd definately say the downward slide was on at that point.
08:11:47 Devastator: "Oh don't worry, all these plots are where the Toughs encounter ancient XXXXes that solve all their problems for them."
08:27:47 Devastator: I'm really just glad at surviving this week.
08:28:37 Devastator: A bit, actually. Covering two jobs because we're shorthanded, and it's really hot. Been working very hard.
08:32:42 Devastator: got another week of that, although next week should be a bit easier.
08:32:59 Devastator: Could be a third, but I don't remember the schedule off hand.
08:36:13 Devastator: I can't tell, but I wonder how serious that guy takes them. Are these mixes being done with period tools?
08:37:17 Devastator: Mmm, not many videos.
08:37:28 Devastator: It's well done, too bad there aren't more.

20:27:21 parisbre56: I haven't kept track but it feels like
ER hasn't slept for an entire day
20:27:57 ER: I woke up at like midnight, so not yet!~
20:31:41 parisbre56: just adopt a different time zone
20:31:49 parisbre56: that way you'll always wake up on time
20:42:12 ER: oh well, guess it's exposition time for me.
20:43:16 Devastator: any drinking going to happen? ;-p
20:50:04 parisbre56: I'm thinking
syv will update our environment eventually so that Sophia gets her drink.
20:50:31 parisbre56: or maybe he'll just tell us to do our own damn RP
20:51:08 parisbre56: and just work on the next main PS post
20:51:12 ER: That means that we get to invent our own convenient shady bar, right? :V
20:51:46 parisbre56: hmm... which begs the question, how shady can this town get?
20:52:01 parisbre56: I can just start posting clips from Sin City :P
20:53:27 ER: ironically, the maximum suffering for us would be if it were disappointingly unshady
20:53:41 ER: is disapointment a valid form of suffering?
20:54:54 ER: (considering the secret slavebunker not far from the city itself, I'm guessing that the actual answer is "really fucking shady" though.)
21:00:55 parisbre56: damn FEMA slave camps
21:03:08 ER: (also, the thought bubble in my previous post is technically wrong, reading back. Sophia actually DID get an exact bodycount. I forgot >.>)
21:04:17 ER: Now I have to see if I found Kaden's body.
21:16:57 ER: Nope, never did find his body.
21:18:30 ER: oh well, that means the thought bubble is almost correct
21:18:45 ER: it's theoretically possible that he escaped somehow.
21:21:47 parisbre56: this kitten has been playing for around 3 hours. finally became exhausted
21:22:16 parisbre56: time for me to eat while it's sleeping

21:30:13 ER: "some person did a dumb thing of no lasting consequnce, come laugh at them with us"
21:35:09 Devastator: In this case it's "Please don't call emergency for stupid things two days from now, which is New Years, when we get a million emergency calls for stupid things."
21:38:55 Devastator: Just linked that for obvious reasons..

22:07:02 ER: stayin alive, stayin alive~
22:07:38 midnightjaguar: Anyone been up to anything?
22:08:12 ER: well, I played an entire RPG over the course of... one night
22:08:40 midnightjaguar: Nice. Which one?
22:09:07 Devastator: Been working too much last week. Got at least another week of it.
22:09:56 midnightjaguar: Ah. They short handed or something?
22:11:48 Devastator: one guy taking a long-planned vacation, another guy had his slot turn up for surgery.
22:12:44 ER: I consider it a budget deus ex
22:13:00 midnightjaguar: Ah. So expected and unexpected. Still at least it’s more hours and money I suppose.
22:13:34 ER: wear a trenchcoat, hack things, make decisions, murder random street thugs and steal this money
22:13:49 midnightjaguar: Budget Deus Ex doesn’t sound like a bad thing
22:13:52 Devastator: Still.. been super-hot, and I'm basically covering another job because we're building a new front office for the shopfront, meaning someone else is doing that instead of covering for other things.
22:14:02 Devastator: Deus Ex WAS a budget game.
22:14:21 ER: I assure you, this game is budgeter than deus ex
22:14:43 midnightjaguar: Deus Ex was a budget version of what?
22:14:50 ER: though not the MOST budget kind of game; it has lots of art and locations and voice acting
22:14:57 midnightjaguar: But yeh that’s rough
dev.
22:16:20 Devastator: It wasn't a budget version of anything. It was something new.
22:17:00 Devastator: it was budget because it wasn't made like a top-shelf product was.;
22:17:40 ER: well yeah, the highest budget games don't tend to meaningfully innovate.
22:18:14 ER: the things that invented a genre, and thus define it, are probably not AAA games that were guarenteed success.
22:18:18 Devastator: Well, sometimes they do.
22:18:21 Devastator: and sometimes that doesn't end well.
22:18:25 midnightjaguar: Yeah to get a giant budget it helps to be safe and likely to turn a profit.....unless your like a tech startup in which case just claim you can change the world and go from there :P
22:18:35 Devastator coughs No Man's Sky.
22:19:00 ER: I'm amazed how much the developers stuck with NMS, actually
22:19:48 ER: I can feel smug for knowing that it wouldn't be all that it was "supposed" to be before it came out, but really it seems much improved by its updates
22:20:26 ER: not that I've seen for myself. that kind of game doesn't appeal
22:21:22 Devastator: I only know bits about the story of it.
22:21:50 Devastator: I did know it wouldn't work out, but only because I was following someone else trying to do the same thing years ago, and he did a good job of talking about all the unexpected snags.
22:22:10 midnightjaguar: Who and what project
dev?
22:22:53 ER: space game that's infinitely big and is everything to everyone!
22:23:11 Devastator: runs a mostly one-man project called Infinity: Battlescape. Dunno if it'll produce a fun game, but the guy did an incredible job basically writing an entire engine from scratch.
22:23:29 Devastator: did lots of talking about the insane pitfalls you run into when you don't just fake it.
22:24:52 Devastator: z-fighting's a big one.
22:25:24 Devastator: computers have difficulty figuring out that something 18,390,182 units away is in front or behind something else that's 18,390,829 units away.
22:26:32 Devastator: So you want clouds?
22:27:10 ER: something something voxels something valumetric
22:27:20 Devastator: Neither of those get around the problem, sadly.
22:27:30 Devastator: not that voxels would be quick enough for this.
22:28:23 midnightjaguar: That does sound rather complicated
22:28:58 Devastator: Lots of speed issues. Computers can theoretically handle what he was asking them to do, but there's so many losses at various steps in the rendering pipeline that he had to stop kludging things and mostly start over at a lower level.
22:29:48 ER: how to make your thing stop lagging: start over and do it right this time, idiot
22:30:18 ER: basically what toady has to do with the Map rewrite, to my undertsanding. :P
22:30:37 Devastator: Couldn't license or steal something that could handle it, because nothing exists that can do it.
22:32:42 Devastator: All the major projects ended up faking it to a greater or lesser degree, in varying ways. What I know of NMS is that they tried to avoid doing that, and ran headfirst into the problems caused by not backing down.
22:35:16 ER: most complaints about NMS didn't seem to be about technical stuff
22:36:37 Devastator: bad design, unfinished features, not fun?
22:36:56 Devastator: That's what happens when you run out of time.
22:36:59 ER: honestly, "broken promises"
22:37:18 Devastator: Better to do that up front.
22:37:24 Devastator: if you can't do it, say that.

23:57:52 ER: I wonder if I'll ever see my glorious gunjeep again
23:58:04 ER: I mean, it had better still be there
23:58:28 syv: I should write down where people live.
23:58:51 syv: I used to have a good mental map, but I just can't keep everything solid in my head over years.
