00:04:46 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
00:22:17 Devastator: heya er.
00:22:31 ER: hello there
00:30:18 Devastator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N62DdK-0-8Q&list=PLSMETuURtTXCzW7Q_ZIy4QzEnyUG8totf&index=21
00:57:18 Devastator: also, dubs went away.
00:57:38 ER: mhm
01:38:42 Devastator: musta asked too many qs.
01:39:07 ER: did you not notice syv kicking him
02:34:04 Devastator: yes.
04:02:54 ER: welp
04:03:01 ER: anything happening tonight?
04:08:21 Devastator: dunno.
04:08:24 Devastator: ryu did a new video.
04:08:35 Devastator: be up for watching some T, if you're still interested in that.
04:09:57 ER: mmm, tea
04:43:38 Devastator: tea
04:48:21 Devastator: http://youtu.be/6pkVu6Kw00M
06:10:02 ER: when will this damned plague peak?
06:10:25 ER: I think I'll go for a walk and then play some T
06:10:41 ER: perhaps while sipping some tea, yes
06:14:19 Devastator: a while.
06:15:10 Devastator: do let me know when you play it. I like T.
06:17:10 Devastator: and I like how you play it.
06:47:00 ER: tea acquired
06:54:29 ER: oops
06:56:24 ER: hmm
06:56:30 ER: well, want to watch?
06:57:23 ER: Devastator
06:57:27 Devastator: Ya.
07:00:42 ER: uh
07:00:47 ER: my obs seems broke
07:02:33 Devastator: uh oh
07:06:31 Devastator: hey.
07:06:40 ER: hey.
07:08:06 Devastator: Hmm.
07:08:43 Devastator: Let me know if you want a plot hint.
07:09:08 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
07:09:26 Devastator: ..okay.
07:09:40 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:09:44 ER: nope
07:10:11 ER: I'm hours behind because I deleted my save, remember
07:10:37 Devastator: Ahh, right.
07:10:39 Devastator: damn.
07:14:06 ER: that's confusing
07:14:46 Devastator: slp.
07:16:21 ER: ah
07:16:24 ER: okay, nope
07:16:28 ER: this is too far behind
07:16:33 ER: I don't want to play this
07:16:44 Devastator: ahh.
07:16:50 Devastator: ok.
07:16:51 Devastator: that's too bad.
07:16:55 Devastator: but ok.
07:17:24 ER: that's... two dungeons
07:17:31 ER: so nope
07:17:42 Devastator: Yeah, two dungeons is a bit.
07:19:33 ER: and they're both fuckers. ;P
07:22:26 Devastator: eh.
07:22:34 Devastator: they do go quicker once you know how they work.
07:22:46 Devastator: and you can dash-attack through most enemies to speed things up.
07:23:13 Devastator: I think the dungeon after those two is the last one for the act, and starts the final act.
07:44:26 Devastator: Hmm.
07:44:28 Devastator: is Irony around?
07:44:47 ER: not any more
07:45:27 Devastator: mmm.
07:48:00 Devastator: Irony's a big discord user. was going to ask about setting one up for k-com. Had some long chats with syv and what not and it'd give him somewhere easy to put stuff on that might get noticed better.
07:48:38 ER: I mean, I use discord too. :P
07:50:04 Devastator: Ahh.
07:50:07 Devastator: well, go for it then.
07:50:20 Devastator: although syv was discussing stuff about Irony directly, IIRC.
07:50:25 Devastator: so wanted to go through Irony.
07:51:21 ER: want to give me an image to use as its icon? :P
07:51:35 Devastator: No, I have no idea how that even works.
07:51:39 Devastator: feel free to pick something yourself.
07:52:26 ER: literally just shop any image which would work as a little icon and I can upload it
07:54:16 Devastator: Yeah, but what size works? And what shape and format?
07:54:51 ER: it says minimum 128x128, and it displays as a circle
07:55:01 ER: or a rounded square when you mouse over it, I think
07:55:28 Devastator: ok, so a 128x128 logo with a circular icon then.
07:56:05 ER: https://i.imgur.com/MbStvqY.png
07:56:08 ER: I made that one
07:57:30 Devastator: Sure then.
07:57:39 ER: oh, and it says they *recommend* at least 512x512
07:57:44 ER: so shoot for that I guess
07:58:08 Devastator: ugh, so image scaling is a given.
07:58:16 ER: yeah...
07:58:19 Devastator: hrm, that makes pixel art really difficult.
07:59:08 ER: I think it will show up bigger for most people than it would for me, because I make the interface smaller
08:02:37 Devastator: eh, I'll ask Irony to make one.
08:05:29 ER: so why did you want a discord again
08:06:55 Devastator: Because I keep having talks with people who ask me questions on here and it'd be better to have them shown verbatim somewhere else, but it's long clunky discussion for someone just following the action.
08:11:28 Devastator: explained that in-thread.
08:14:08 ER: welp, now I'm in charge of a discord again
08:14:59 Devastator: well you can go find someone else.
08:15:01 Devastator: ;-p
08:15:03 Devastator: pass it off.
08:15:17 ER: yeah, the crown is transferrable, thankfully
08:16:04 ER: think I tossed the P&P crown to someone because I wanted to not be in the server any more but other people wanted to keep the records
08:18:25 Devastator: so did you go with the above icon?
08:18:39 ER: no, that was an example
08:18:45 ER: that one was for death plane
08:19:11 ER: I stole an image of a godzilla action figure from google images
08:19:29 ER: thus committing the grevious crime of copyright infringement, no doubt
08:20:04 Devastator: should be fine.
08:21:08 Devastator: thanks
08:21:34 ER: thanks for something to *do*
08:22:08 ER: I take odd satisfaction in setting things up properly
08:22:22 ER: at least, how I think they should be ;P
08:22:37 Devastator: Yeah.
08:23:03 Devastator: syv poked me the other day for questions and It's a bit too clunky for the thread, but some of the others might want to talk about the implications anyway.
08:26:35 ER: alas, nobody has joined yet. ;P
08:28:12 Devastator: that would be fast, yes.
08:28:17 Devastator: might get some people.
08:39:55 ER: https://youtu.be/6egeUxIEQnM
08:57:53 Devastator: mmm.
08:58:01 Devastator: no self-study progress
10:08:46 ER: [5:55 AM] antigasp: The stated purpose of sharing information on Discord is a bad purpose. Discord is an acceptable substitute for IRC, though I personally don't like it, but it is not a good repository. The only good Discord based repositories I've seen used locked channels with links to another site that had the actual information.
10:09:26 Devastator: Mmm, eh.
10:09:58 Devastator: I hate discord's guts, but I'm not running a website to book information in conversations.
10:10:33 Devastator: He's right when he says it's a bad repository.. it is.
10:11:44 Devastator: Mmm.
10:11:51 Devastator: yeah, I'll just change what I said about it.
10:12:08 Devastator: It's a cooperative game and there's lots of negotiation and such, so use it for that.
10:35:06 Devastator: so who is antigasp?
10:35:27 ER: what is the opposite of a gasp?
10:36:11 Devastator: ..a cough? a shout?
10:36:17 Devastator: oh, sy?
10:43:28 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
10:43:45 syv: I like how quickly you got that.
10:44:03 syv: Most people need me to literally spell it out. :(
10:44:10 ER: took me months :P
10:45:06 Devastator: It's me.
10:45:13 Devastator: but I remember fighting over the pronounciation.
10:45:15 Devastator: ;-p
10:45:22 Devastator: (only reason, btw)
10:45:29 Devastator: nah, it should be good for negotiations anyway.
10:45:42 syv: I can choose to pronounce my name however I like.
10:45:51 Devastator: might be a better way to catch someone to poke them.
10:45:52 ER: civ
10:45:52 syv: I could even pronounce it Albin.
10:46:01 Devastator: Yes, I get that reference.
10:53:34 ER: https://youtu.be/5eu_fkIbmxc
11:51:25 ER: I should set up private rooms in the k-com discord for people to do secret deals in
11:51:33 ER: but I can still see them ebcause I'm admin
11:51:43 ER: pro intelligence agency strats
11:52:13 Devastator: Heh.
12:16:10 syv: Do it!
12:16:26 syv: You didn't link to the logs in the disc, so they won't see this~
12:16:43 ER: nah, I think instead I'll start an RTD
12:17:13 syv: I'm simultaneously disappointed and excited.
12:17:34 syv: Does this one involve guns?
12:18:12 ER: You will probably have to bring them yourself
12:18:44 ER: it's TOURNAMENT ARC minimalist
12:23:35 syv: Awww, minimalist?
12:23:37 syv: Oh well.
12:24:50 ER: I figured I should try straight up minimalist at some point. Or at least try not to bog myself down with rules.
12:27:18 syv: Makes sensw.
12:27:22 syv: Sadly. .-.
12:27:39 ER: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=175998.msg8114204#msg8114204
12:30:44 ER: I also thought, would it be interesting at all to have a game set in Refine's setting where you play as normal humans?
12:31:27 ER: because there's certainly a setup there where you could go scavenging in the city and run into strange remnants of the old world
13:59:55 sy has joined #einsteinianroulette
14:00:01 syv has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
14:02:53 ER: breathe fresh air, sy stale air
14:03:12 sy is now known as syv
14:03:31 syv: (ER) I also thought, would it be interesting at all to have a game set in Refine's setting where you play as normal humans?
14:03:50 syv: That really depends on how it's handled, and precisely how powerful magical beings are in that setting.
14:04:13 syv: If witches are broadly equivalent to PS witches, then it'd pretty much require never interacting with them.
14:04:36 syv: Which might be interesting with Refine's oasis labyrinth system.
14:04:52 syv: You have to get *close*, but not too close, else you just fucking die to the unbeatable monster.
14:05:54 syv: Beyond that... I don't think you've spoken much of the setting bits outside of magical people and witches. There's ruins and destruction and whatnot, but I don't think there's been much detail on what normal people could go looking for.
14:06:06 ER: Witches would be detectable, but far from beatable.
14:06:29 ER: so, like a horror videogame enemy ;P
14:07:56 syv: That could totally work well.
14:08:15 syv: Have you looked at PW's quiet world exploration system?
14:08:29 ER: I put a little settlement by the main city ruins, under the logic that they would be surviving off of scavenging for preserved foods, and machines to trade with other settlements for food.
14:08:35 syv: It was called something like "Traveler" or "Nomad" or a word like that...
14:08:58 ER: can't be sure, I've looked at a lot of his.
14:09:06 ER: I think I remember something like that
14:10:08 syv: It was a good exploration syste.
14:10:21 syv: I *still* adore the flaws/traits/insanities system he had.
14:10:26 ER: I guess the way that normal people in Refine interact with Witches would be similar to the "BT"s in Death Stranding
14:10:38 syv: Aren't BTs fightable?
14:10:44 syv: Throw blood at them or something?
14:10:54 ER: Not right from the start.
14:11:28 ER: In the plot, that's something newly discovered derived from the protagonist who's the chosen one blah blah
14:12:25 ER: but the idea that you can detect them well enough to know they're there, and have an idea where they are, but you can't fight and they will eat you
14:14:27 syv: Sounds good.
14:14:45 syv: This would be a neat idea, though it'd be *very* heavily reliant on cool environments.
14:14:54 syv: Some familiars also might be fightable, I suppose.
14:15:07 syv: Though I think the emphasis for such a game should very much not be on fighting.
14:15:15 syv: Exploration, collection.
14:15:38 syv: Hmm. No Country for Old Kobolds is a system Dubs had me look at for Oroboropolis, way back when.
14:15:52 syv: Has a system for keeping a town alive, and for playing weak disposable kobolds.
14:16:14 syv: IIRC it was a distillation of the mechanics in that one semi-ERP system, Apoc World I think.
14:16:25 syv: Just without the ERP bits obviously.
14:17:04 ER: no erp in a kobold-centric system? madness
14:19:34 ER: Masked witches would be almost possible for humans to deal with, I'd think, being... fleshier. Intentionally detectable, hiding in human form rather than trying to be invisible.
14:19:48 ER: And also nicely horrifying, of course.
14:51:25 syv: I hate reverse engineering uncommented code.
14:51:58 ER: yeah, I bet that's way harder than writing
14:52:37 syv: They're different.
14:53:13 syv: One is basically pressing buttons and waiting for one to do something, then repeatedly pressing it in different locations to figure out why it does that.
14:53:20 syv: The other is stabbing myself in the eye.
14:54:24 ER: in the eye? surely it's more like stabbing yourself in an arm vein
14:54:45 syv: ...Why would if be like stabbing myself in an arm vein...?
14:55:13 ER: well, that just seems more accurate to me than stabbing myself in the eye
14:55:38 ER: it like, you know, reaching into a pile of broken glass because you saw a really nice shiny thing down there
14:55:54 ER: which is probably just a really nice shiny piece of broken glass
14:57:51 syv: Can't say I agree.
15:28:39 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK AT&T!"]
16:16:23 ER has quit [Quit: Try HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-]
23:22:53 Devastator: welp.
23:29:50 Devastator: Hmm, interesting.
23:30:21 Devastator: province mandated the mills open due to them providing a non-trivial amount of the world's supply of paper pulp.
23:30:34 Devastator: ..That does make sense upon thinking of it..
23:31:12 Devastator: Also, I'm covered by three categories.
23:31:14 Devastator: ..so..
23:31:17 Devastator: welp.
23:37:03 Devastator: Also the paper towel factory, naturally.
23:48:10 Devastator: Also, because this is British Columbia, Cannabis suppliers.
