01:51:01 Devastator: I'm sure there's night vision in star wars verse.
01:51:18 Devastator: I mean, I'm sure if draggy wants to be able to see in total darkness eventually his body will figure it out.
02:22:35 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:01:39 Devastator: well, last one I second tried.
03:01:58 Devastator: had one first-try this week.
03:02:13 ER: died right at the start because I was waiting for somehing to happen~
03:02:24 Devastator: Yeah, I'd looked away a bit and whoops, dead.
03:02:42 syv: I don't think I've first tried *any* of them
03:02:55 Devastator: some of the ones this week aren't too bad.
03:03:08 Devastator: I think I only first tried a couple.
03:03:16 Devastator: the first one, one this week..
03:03:36 ER: I thought the bullets would be hitscan and didn't see them so I moved randomly and lucked out
03:05:44 syv: How do you even first try these? So many just have sudden fuck-you things fly out and hit you. Everything is monochrome, and hitboxes have to be extrapolated from sprites, rather than being clear.
03:05:47 Devastator: I'm not sure how the bird got killed.
03:06:39 Devastator: that's a crazy kill.
03:06:46 ER: wait, is "git gud" incompatable with "first try it"?
03:07:22 Devastator: the damage area on the tail must be huge.
03:07:38 syv: "git gud and learn to play, you should be able to kill these bosses first time by now"
03:07:57 Devastator: What's the main category for the full-game run?
03:08:03 ER: I've never done that in dark souls ;P
03:08:26 syv: You've never first-tried a DaS boss? Have you played DaS 2?
03:08:41 ER: certainly not in DS2, I was still a noob
03:08:58 syv: What about the rolly polly glutton seal?
03:10:19 syv: This is the full game speedrun, at least on PS4. Don't know the category and I'm bad at using the site. This one is also kinda eh, the guy whines A LOT.
03:10:53 syv: And yes, the tail's glyph area is enormous for some reason.
03:11:06 Devastator: well, I cna turn sound down.
03:11:14 ER: hahaha, whining in a world record?
03:11:53 syv: There might be better full game times on other releases, I'unno.
03:12:12 syv: I know I've watched at least one quiet full game speedrun, years ago.
03:12:39 Devastator: looks like fourth place on the current leaderboard.
03:13:19 syv: I'd LOVE to see a SOTC TAS.
03:13:19 Devastator: maaaay also be an in-game time real-time split.
03:14:26 syv: I'm guessing Any% is important, there.
03:14:34 Devastator: Yeah, I'm sure 100% is a lot longer.
03:15:14 syv: I didn't watch Dist's full run, but with how optimized it seemed for the first few colossi, I'd be amazed if it's 50% longer than the best time without sequence breaks.
03:16:09 Devastator: that one I linked is a 90 second IGT shave.
03:17:09 Devastator: hmm, wonder what the WR is for super mario RPG.
03:17:56 Devastator: looks like 2:46, which seems amazing.
03:18:09 syv: Dodging cacti makes my eyes hurt
03:18:29 Devastator: yeah, but there's only minor skips in SM:RPG.
03:18:36 Devastator: you can skip one boss and a few other bits.
03:19:11 syv: Not a very long game then, is it?
03:19:21 ER: is there a speedrun category for x-com for number of in-game days passed?
03:19:31 syv: ...Or do you mean 2 hours 46 minutes?
03:19:41 Devastator: yeah, two hours 46 minutes.
03:19:45 Devastator: that's super quick.
03:19:51 Devastator: I wonder what the Terranigma record is.
03:20:32 Devastator: that's about a quarter of what a casual playthrough is.
03:21:17 Devastator: the background image is also super derpy, so perfect.
03:21:45 syv: Yeah, that, that's pretty anime
03:22:17 Devastator: Terranigma is.. something.
03:22:28 syv: ...Not far off how I visualize Ekrov and Saeko, though Ekrov's hair is presumably much less stabby.
03:22:38 ER: don't tell me it's anime, you'll make me want to play it
03:23:02 Devastator: It's like.. super anime.
03:23:06 syv: It looks like porn. There, you're cured.
03:23:22 ER: in a dress that pretty? I doubt it
03:23:49 Devastator: It's the third game in a series of semi-linked action-RPGs from Quintet Software.
03:23:53 ER: that could be said of any object which isn't inherently self-contradictory
03:24:01 Devastator: For some reason nobody else has ever done that sort of thing before or since.
03:24:10 Devastator: well, there are similar things, but..
03:24:17 ER: yeah, I won't play it because RPGs are mostly pressing A~
03:24:34 syv: The dress of all things makes it not porn?
03:24:57 Devastator: They're games that just don't fit in with either category. They're not ACTION rpgs like Legend of Zelda. Or action RPGS like, well, SMRPG.
03:25:03 syv: I guarantee you, nothing about either of their designs makes it definitively not-porn, in any way
03:25:21 Devastator: Plus they have very weird worldbuilding.
03:25:31 syv: I set my system time to 1/15, unlocked all levels up til 24.
03:26:14 syv: And yep, 1/19 unlocks all.
03:27:29 syv: Final level might not be actually released yet, though. Or maybe more levels need to be beaten first.
03:27:55 syv: Just autoscrolling with no obstacles for a long time.
03:28:11 Devastator: Also, thinking about it, Soul Blazer, the first of the three may be considered one of the first real titles I ever played.
03:28:19 Devastator: I never knew the name, but played it when it was brand new.
03:28:27 Devastator: always wondered what it was for years and years.
03:28:48 syv: I am being shh, I didn't mention any of the things that seem like they'd *actually* be spoilers.
03:28:52 Devastator: ..but if you do play it, just play Terranigma.
03:29:47 Devastator: It's.. got some flaws, enough so that I can't call it a perfect game, but it hits notes that aren't hit by any other game that I know of.
03:30:38 syv: It, uh, deleted my cookies of which levels I've already cleared.
03:30:56 syv: Kaaaazzz, I was just curious!
03:31:07 Devastator: Heh, lufia II background image is the worldmap, which really puts it clear how linear the world is.
03:31:38 ER: you needed the map to tell you that?
03:33:02 Devastator: well, not really, but it's pretty stark laid out like that.
03:36:34 ER: hmm, it's called "Impetus", it must work"
03:42:17 ER: not in describy mood. I will attempt to describe things, but so far it's a bit robotic.
03:42:35 Devastator: thinking about it,
ER, you play a magical girl in Terranigma.
03:42:42 Devastator: but you wouldn't be interested because he's a dude.
03:43:38 syv: Good descriptions aren't important, I just wanna shoot people
03:44:12 ER: male characters aren't interesting in JRPGs. neither are female characters but I am biased and don't care.
04:02:55 syv: mouse-size, cat-size, dog-size, person-size, horse-size, car-size, tank-size.
04:04:26 ER: shall I just say this building is building-sized?
04:05:47 syv: Really though, if it has multiple rooms: "large building"
04:05:55 syv: If it has one room: "small building"
04:07:15 ER: ...large, but no monolithic
04:07:49 ER: It's not someone's house, but it's also not a multi-session dungeon :P
04:08:11 ER: and because it's a warehouse, most of it is open
04:09:43 ER: so to be clear, when I roll and insight: 8, the correct move is to not say I rolled insight, right? :P
04:10:57 ER: mm. I guess 8 is just below the mark for possible consequences? But that's hard with insight outside of trying to come up with a red herring.
04:11:19 ER: Which is an oppertunity, I've now wasted by talking about it
04:13:45 ER: anyway, murphy's d6 just rolled a 1
04:14:01 syv: Sometimes I make a perception/intuition check invisible, sometimes I make it visible but just don't specify the magnitude.
04:14:39 syv: This is why PS only displays the stat rolled, not the magnitude, though sometimes I do specify the degree of success in addition.
04:22:49 ER: and the little girl rolls a 14-1 intuition
04:23:49 Devastator: yay, shadowclaw fixed some of his orders.
04:25:06 syv: So the magia record anime started airing. Apparently it's still done by shaft, and has good witch scenes.
04:27:31 Devastator: clearly you need gundress.
04:28:24 Devastator: That's how Mami works, IIRC.
04:31:04 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:31:52 syv: Mami is more "each gun is a thread"
04:32:45 MidJag: For a second I read that as Miami. and I was like I could see that.
04:34:19 ER: I think it was fairly desciptive?
04:35:24 ER: I think that the way I wrote it can fit Goblin's perception, because Goblin has no established personality and also that's the only way I could have written it
04:36:41 syv: Really not sure what to do, myself. Maybe just head out onto the streets and per roll until I find guns.
04:36:52 syv: Should probably buy body armor at the least.
MJ, wanna come with?
04:36:56 ER: and Ally's bit was easy enough to make me hopeful that writing FMD won't be impossible, I guess?
04:37:10 Devastator: also, planning on not getting any new weapons.
04:37:13 ER: Was easier with the starting point of "I already said there where three beds"
04:37:39 syv: Yes, because actually testing the thing the test was made to test would just be too helpful.
04:38:33 ER: I'm running it how I would run an actual game, roughly.
04:38:41 MidJag: I think
dev is testing wether or not the system is devproof.
04:38:58 Devastator: nah, that's impossible.
04:39:07 ER: he can do what he wants, it's an RTD~
04:39:13 Devastator: mostly because none of the SMGs seem worth buying over a sidearm.
04:39:25 Devastator: I mean they're better, but not really killy enough.
04:39:36 ER: Wonder if you could buy a silencer.
04:39:52 MidJag:
syv we could probably call the police and ambush them somewhere else.
04:39:55 ER: not clear on how legal those tend to be
04:40:02 MidJag: or just ambush people in general
04:40:11 syv: I, uh, already did that,
MJ.
04:41:09 syv: Aaalso, I'm unsure how much Egan has deviated from my lore, but we kinda probably really do not want to engage with an actually prepared Sov force.
04:41:12 MidJag: We could ambush them somewhere that isn't our "safehouse"
04:41:14 Devastator: the two empty buildings seem tempting.
04:41:22 Devastator: we could go through the wall.
04:41:38 Devastator: problem being if we need power tools, they tend to be noisy.
04:41:44 syv: (
ER) Wonder if you could buy a silencer.
04:41:49 MidJag: I have +3 strength
Dev.
04:41:52 ER: well, it's not like you gave me a large amount of lore to work with
04:41:57 MidJag: We can probably make something work
04:42:10 Devastator: Nah, I'm thinking
Dev Trap.
04:42:28 Devastator: expecting me to go through the wall.
04:42:39 ER: What, you'll freak out if I let someone slap a supressor on target pistol?
04:43:09 ER: ...literally all the suppressed weapons belong to the faction which doesn't like to share~
04:43:13 MidJag: What exactlly does the target pistol look liek?
04:43:33 ER: like a, um, semiauto pistol!
04:43:37 Devastator: eh, I'll think about it. Maybe we can just find our box and firebomb it through the skylight or something.
04:43:44 Devastator: what's the target, anyway?
04:44:18 MidJag: oohhh, like a literal target pisotl
04:44:20 ER: it's a civilian version of the chitterchok, which is a crappy mass-manufactured gun
04:45:12 ER: do those look different from normal
04:45:25 syv: The Mk9 is a civvie version of the chitterchok?
04:45:45 ER: "Good accuracy despite its small size, uses the same mags as the CQB faction's Chitterchok. It might even be a higher quality civilian version."
04:46:04 ER: and I will pretty much run with anything that suggests LORE
04:46:07 MidJag: In my mind Target pistols look a bit like a scifi gun crossed with a luger.
04:47:51 ER: so yeah, you have expensive civvie weird-german pistols, which are based on extremely not expensive military weird-german pistols.
04:48:22 syv: I've been visualizing something kinda like a larger Makarov for some reason, but really it's pretty vauge. It's a high quality and relatively compact 9mm pistol, there's a *lot* of firearms that fit that description. Admittedly, the Makarov isn't among them, but w/e
04:51:14 Devastator: also, why does a target pistol have a bad precision penalty and accuracy stats?
04:51:31 ER: because it's better than the other pistols.
05:01:33 MidJag: Hey
ER, are there like any kinda affordable thermal vision scopes or binoculars or soemthing in this setting?
05:02:59 ER: This setting is... actually cyberpunk I guess, but I don't want to think too hard about past-modern technology for the moment.
05:11:54 MidJag:
syv Daneek's rolling with oko for a bit, but he want's to get some medical supplies as well.
05:13:00 syv: That seems reasonable. I'd offer to edit my action, but it's a PM. >.>
05:13:07 ER: ...I hope that Irony uses this chance to leave the house
05:13:43 MidJag: I do wish you could edit PM's. Would just be convient.
05:26:24 ER: I really like listening to this neotokyo music but I have nothing to write
05:27:20 ER: I guess I could instaupdate you two, but I'd rather see if Irony's following you first...
05:28:36 MidJag: Well he's online right now
05:28:42 ER: s'pose I'll boop him on discord, because it claims he's online
05:44:13 Devastator: no you don't, I don't have orders.
05:44:19 Devastator: do have a plan, though.
05:44:26 ER: yeah, but you're not with these fools
05:44:33 ER: so it's possible for me to update
05:44:42 Devastator: How's whisperling's game going?
05:45:25 ER: I have a live plant that's made out of fire, and has hands
05:45:47 ER: and I can shoot its hands out from my hand through a totem connection
05:46:52 ER: mm, _n C_rcl_s is good, but I might need a different mood
05:48:06 Devastator: mmm, so he's still running it, then?
05:48:35 Devastator: Never sent me anything.
05:49:54 ER: you're spooks, not hoolagans,
MJ~
05:50:35 MidJag: I feel like with the amount of collateral damage we will almost inevitablly cause we'll probably be both :P
05:50:51 ER: no no, that's called terrorism
05:51:25 syv: "Terrorism" is just what the victims call "special operations"
05:52:13 ER: well yes, still not hoolaganism
05:52:56 syv: "We'll get those terrorist hooligans"
05:53:05 ER: only if you scream Haey Kuf repeatedly while doing it
05:53:20 Devastator: considering PMing him. When was the last bunch of turns?
05:54:40 Devastator: eh, I'll leave it a bit longer.
05:55:20 Devastator: if he's not giving anyone turns, it's just annoying.
05:55:23 syv: It sounds like he just forgot you were in the game.
05:57:05 ER: I've had... by my count 27 updates since the start?
05:57:37 ER: more than 27 really, but I'm not going to both counting those
05:59:25 syv: Maybe he's just preparing one REALLY BIG update. It'll drop aaaanytime now.
05:59:46 Devastator: I'm pretty sure I did something nobody else did, but it isn't that weird.
06:00:34 syv: You did do something nobody else did; you let yourself be forgotten.
06:04:59 Devastator: well, you could ask him for me.
06:05:15 Devastator: because I suspect the answer is "Doesn't read PMs."
06:09:09 syv: Runs a PM game, and doesn't read PMs...?
06:10:22 ER: he said he did once, I *saw* him on it, but he says he's not
06:11:03 Devastator: Not on this computer.
06:26:34 ER: you spin me right round baby
06:27:56 syv: right round, right round, like a record baby?
06:28:36 syv: I've always heard that as "record baby". Like, an infant somehow related to records.
06:29:33 syv: Is the shotkeep alone,
ER?
06:30:13 ER: that depends on if you want to arnie him :(
06:32:21 syv: I need you to punch a fool.
06:33:40 ER: of course, there's 0: being spooks for a hostile foriegn power
06:33:52 ER: so I guess you shouldn't worry too hard about it
06:35:42 syv: Well, as long as we can get a fair trial, Ally can break us out of prison.
06:37:58 ER: It's Sov, they'll either disappear you or execute you on television in an entertaining manner, depending on how important they think you are.
06:39:36 syv: Awesome, I might get to fight a lion on live TV!
06:40:40 ER: Hmm, no less-lethal weapons in your doc
06:44:41 MidJag: Who do I need to punch?
06:45:31 syv: The illegal gun store owner.
06:46:35 MidJag: ....I still want to arnie him
06:46:54 ER: if that seems weird, then eh, zeria is a weird country or something
06:47:01 syv: Pistols are legal, but shotguns and rifles aren't?
06:47:28 syv: Yeaaaah, weird country. Oh well.
06:48:04 MidJag: Arnie him. Ie punch him and take his stuff.
06:48:20 syv: Yeah, that's what I was figuring.
06:48:28 syv: Yes, that is what I want you to do.
06:54:02 MidJag: I'm going to be honest, we are probably going to get arrested
06:54:09 MidJag: Damn keyboard ruined my joke
06:55:36 syv: We have guns, and will soon have armor
06:55:49 syv: We'll just GTA this shit and shoot the cops, obviously
06:56:01 syv: Or is it Payday this shit?
06:56:14 syv: There's a lot of games where you just shoot cops.
06:56:19 MidJag: If it's payday we will need to be able to take waaaayyy more bullets.
07:02:46 ER: no, you probably won't get arrested
07:03:11 ER: you'll probably be shot at, and then dice will determine if you run away or die
07:04:18 MidJag: Either way it will be entertaing
07:04:36 MidJag: Also I've always wanted to use "hi" as a one liner and have it make sense
07:06:03 syv: Well, happy to set that up for ya.
07:06:14 syv: If this actually works I will be very surprised.
08:56:17 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
08:57:36 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK AT&T!"]
10:01:29 RC has joined #einsteinianroulette
10:02:15 RC: Hey there you ransomware bandits.
10:04:05 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
10:04:23 parisbre56: hello there, wild
RC
10:09:24 RC: Hey
Paris! How is it going?
10:09:37 RC: Did you enjoy the holidays?
10:20:53 parisbre56: sleeping a lot, eating a lot, all that good stuff
10:21:44 RC: Same here basically, as well as catching up with people I hadn't seen for way too long.
10:22:12 RC: And as a bonus, because the university had ICT problems our servers and mail was down, so perfect excuse not to do any work whatsoever!
10:23:29 RC: Hell, today things still aren't up to snuff, so the prof said we could take like 3 more days off while they fix things. I decided to still come in for a bit to catch up with all the paperwork I'm behind on, but still gonna take it รก l'aise.
10:25:08 RC: Went to see Jojo Rabbit Saturday, 'twas pretty good and surprisingly gripping.
10:25:37 parisbre56: I haven't heard about it. film?
10:26:51 RC: Yes. About a young boy living in Nazi Germany during the war. The twist: he has an imaginary friend. That friend happens to be Adolf Hitler.
10:28:01 parisbre56: wow, didn't see that coming
10:28:06 RC: Honestly though, the movie mostly uses that element near the beginning the most, and I feel like they could have cut that part out and still have a solid movie. It seems like serves as a 'hook' to get people interested, but then it turns out to be an actually great movie as well.
10:29:47 RC: If you get a chance I'd give it a look, though it isn't the type of flick you absolutely need to see in a cinema.
10:31:13 RC: Also saw stork wars when it came out. Thought it was 'ok' but nothing too special, though the 2 friends I went with quite hated it.
10:31:46 parisbre56: yeah, also went to watch the new Star Wars last week. it was ok I think. visual effects were nice, action was nice, plot was meh. Maybe if it weren't a star wars film people would enjoy it more.
10:33:19 RC: Tons of plot holes/conveniences and it seems they really didn't plan out this trilogy properly so entire story threads just got dropped. But at no point was I bored, so hey, still had fun.
10:33:46 RC: And it was an excuse to go out afterwards and get hammered
10:34:33 parisbre56: also saw a rather silly Keanu Reeves movie on TV last night called Replicas. It's got that 80's SciFi thriller vibe of "wow, how can they be so stupid, that's hilarious"
10:35:51 parisbre56: it's got a scene where it's like "yeah, I'll just rewrite my brain, that's how science works, it's very easy, I'll just alter a few neurons"
10:36:41 parisbre56: and another where they're like "don't leave the clones in the oven for too long or they'll come out too old"
10:36:56 RC: Well, I suppose that's /sort/ of correct, as long as you don't particularly care how you end up.
10:37:17 parisbre56: in the end Keanu Reeves goes all Terminator and beats up the bad guy.
10:38:26 RC: Sometimes i wish we could get, say, a Terminator/the Thing crossover and just have them duke it out.
10:38:42 parisbre56: the tonal shifts were incredible. one moment it was going for thriller, the next it was drama, the next it was comedy, the next it was action. like they couldn't decide what kind of movie they wanted
10:38:43 RC: Like aliens vs predator, but with the difference that it's not shit.
10:39:10 parisbre56: well, it would be a thing on a much different scale
10:39:28 RC: Sounds like either too many script rewrites or too many test screening alterations.
10:41:04 parisbre56: hmm. the Thing went out of Antarctica and is spreading. in order to contain it the world gives control of its military to Skynet, which comes to the conclusion that the best way to stop the thing is to kill all humans
10:41:38 parisbre56: in order to stop this, the resistance sends back a Terminator to Antarctica to stop the thing from ever leaving
10:42:26 RC: They made a script once for a miniseries in which the Thing got out of Antartica and into a small time Murrican town.
10:43:00 RC: You can find it online, some neat ideas in there, with the town slowly being taken over.
10:43:44 RC: Also you should pitch that idea to netflix, they'll throw money at just about anything these days.
10:44:05 parisbre56: the thing being anywhere where life is plentiful is probably an immediate game over. imagine plague rats, but instead of plague it's an alien
10:44:53 RC: They solved that by setting it in the middle of nowhere surrounded by desert iirc.
10:45:14 RC: But yes, it'd be bad news goose for sure.
10:45:15 parisbre56: ah, that makes more sense
10:46:05 RC: Ooh, Untitled Goose Game mod but instead of bullying rando villagers you consume and replace them.
10:46:38 parisbre56: "All is Goose. All is Good"
10:46:59 RC: But you have to make sure you aren't spotted so you need to isolate your prey one at a time until you're strong enough.
10:47:47 RC: "What if David Cronenberg made a puzzle game"
10:51:51 RC: Man, I play almost no games anymore these days outside of forum stuff (and even that is on a low burn). Last thing I played was a mod for Empire at war, which is over a decade old by now.
10:52:57 RC: Mod is fun though, set in original star wars expanded universe after battle of Endor, where the Empire crumbled into splinter factions ruled by warlords.
10:53:42 RC: Playing as the new republic is basically "Imperial Warlord whack-a-mole".
10:54:17 parisbre56: oh, I saw a nice mod for empire at war the other day that completely redoes the graphics to make them more modern. looks very impressive
10:54:55 RC: Yeah, I know of that one, looks nice. Buuuut I'm not sure my poor laptop could handle that -.-
10:57:22 parisbre56: yeah, that's always a problem. I was playing one of those choose your adventure style games the other day and my laptop was ready to catch fire for displaying some images with parallax
10:57:35 parisbre56: then again, maybe the game was just poorly coded
11:00:26 RC: That is usually my excuse when programs work more slowly than they have any right to.
11:04:05 RC: Or when waiters are slow with our order. Or when stuck behind a traffic light.
11:04:45 parisbre56: well, with those new smart cars, it's probably going to become more likely than it has any right to be
11:05:37 parisbre56: I saw an image the other day where the car had to install mandatory updates before it could start
11:05:50 parisbre56: imagine that happening during an emergency
11:06:44 RC: "I'm sorry we couldn't get your child to the hospital in time, flash wasn't updated."
11:07:52 RC: "As you can see, your honor, my client had all his drivers updated, while the accused did not, therefore the accident was, in fact, his fault."
