00:36:36 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
00:49:16 Devastator: anyone else make 51?
00:50:15 Devastator: NO MORE QUESTIONS, YAY.
00:50:51 ER: do you need a standard hephaestus limit of nine questions per turn?
00:51:16 Devastator: Nah, I'll be doing no more of those questions after I next update.
02:25:34 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:28:36 Devastator: though can you wait ten or so minutes? Rewatching an episode of Confinement.
02:31:18 syv: Don't know what confinement is.
02:31:39 ER: the animated SCP series on youtube that I linked some time ago
02:32:06 syv: Oh, I scored 51 on the block game.
02:33:09 syv: Think I'm gonna speedhack it with cheat engine now, see how high I can get.
02:33:23 syv: Maybe use the picture to trick fools into thinking I'm a genius.
02:33:44 ER: You could probably go until the level counter breaks
02:33:46 syv: Not nice, I did it by boredly spamming buttons for like three hours...
02:33:53 ER: because difficulty caps out at 9.9
02:34:13 syv: No, can I just keep the question until I have something I want answered?
02:34:26 Devastator: Nope, gotta ask before the next update.
02:34:30 Devastator: took me.. 39 minutes.
02:34:50 syv: How long did it take me to get 50?
02:35:39 syv: About an hour, looks like.
02:36:39 ER: my fingers ached when I got to 51 and it didn't take me many tries
02:39:32 Devastator: this weekend, probably.
02:39:46 Devastator: I'd still rather you do it not at the last moment, because I don't want to get interrupted while writing.
02:41:00 Devastator: which would be a shorter and less complete answer.
02:50:36 syv: You KNOW I've speedhacked DaS, this shouldn't surprise you. :P
02:52:04 Devastator: you also said it above.
02:52:08 Devastator: ready for the movie?
02:53:27 syv: Yeah, whenever. Apparently can indeed speedhack the game to 0.0% speed.
02:53:43 syv: That'd be a nice hotkey to have for DaS, an actual pause button.
02:59:57 Devastator: maaaybe I should have gotten a fancy sandwich, but ok.
03:00:30 ER: a fancy sandwich is one that has meat AND lettuce on it
03:01:14 Devastator: I have fancy cheese!
03:02:42 Devastator: would count as an 80s show, too.
03:03:17 Devastator: the second best kind of pirates!
03:03:32 syv: Now if only they were furries.
03:03:46 Devastator: they'd be furry sky pirates?
03:04:14 Devastator: have to check who is the composer for this.
03:04:29 Devastator: this is very 80s animated music.
03:04:44 Devastator: these guys are doing pretty good.
03:04:55 Devastator: so they going for hostages or just stealing from the passengers?
03:05:23 Devastator: yeah, braids is looking protagonist to me.
03:05:38 Devastator: also, that's about saeko's hairstyle, except with one braid.
03:05:58 Devastator: this is insanely dangerous.
03:06:45 Devastator: ok, is she dead and this is about the next person to find that crystal, or can she fly/float?
03:07:00 syv: Crystal allows flight. Kinda. I think.
03:07:01 Piecewise: You guys are watching Laputa eh?
03:07:14 Devastator: had to after that suggestion.
03:07:16 syv: Why are you here now? We don't have questions!
03:07:24 Devastator: I always have questions!
03:07:32 Devastator: but I'll save them until after movie.
03:07:36 syv: Not how propellers work...
03:07:52 ER: no questions, but i do have suggestions~
03:08:03 Devastator: who is the composer for this,
PW?
03:08:08 Devastator: I know I've heard this composer.
03:08:09 syv: You are very suggestive, yes.
03:08:36 Piecewise: he's Ghibli's standard composer
03:08:42 Piecewise: did most of their movies
03:09:27 syv: Hmm. Think he's a kid, or just really short?
03:09:32 Piecewise: Joe is his stage name of sorts
03:09:47 Devastator: Yeah, not unusual in Japan.
03:10:10 Devastator: watch that temp lightweight spell.
03:10:17 Devastator: hey, kid looks like a worker. ;-p
03:10:29 Devastator: coal chucking, yeah.
03:10:37 Devastator: "A girl fell from the sky."
03:10:40 Devastator: "Get back to work."
03:11:38 Devastator: yeah, kid be stronk.
03:11:38 syv: The eng VAs are much better in this movie than in Eva.
03:11:47 Devastator: oh, I'm listening in Japanese..
03:12:19 Piecewise: Ghibli was imported to america by disney, so they have a budget
03:12:24 syv: Unless the VAs are just horrid I prefer Eng so I can appreciate the art, and glance down at IRC.
03:12:36 syv: And a lot of experienced voices.
03:12:56 Devastator: mmm, this one I think I prefer in Japanese.
03:13:01 Devastator: I have to read it anyway.
03:13:01 Piecewise: Has the kid played trumpet yet?
03:13:26 Piecewise: trying to sync up with you guys using a probably different video file
03:13:27 Devastator: nope, we're still very early on.
03:13:36 Devastator: kid sleeping in home.
03:13:46 Devastator: ahh, girl gets bed.
03:13:49 syv: I'll say go when we get to 12:00, kay?
03:14:02 Devastator: shack with roof hatch.
03:14:24 Devastator: that's a kid who likes his trumpet.
03:14:41 Devastator: This is.. pretty excellent.
03:14:46 Piecewise: I do love this mining town's design
03:14:59 Devastator: Extremely fine, very fast-paced, but not too much so.
03:15:02 Piecewise: all built into the cliffs and such
03:15:02 syv: All Ghibli movies are great, far as I've seen.
03:15:14 Devastator: efficient worldbuilding and there's plenty of room for character so far.
03:15:17 syv: Though admittedly most I watched as a child, so...
03:15:30 Piecewise: Ghibli varies between "Classic" and "Pretty good". None are really anything less than that
03:16:12 syv: Yes, feed the birds. Don't give the girl food.
03:16:13 Piecewise: I have two english dubs on this
03:16:14 Devastator: This kid is a good person.
03:16:33 ER: tell me of the angel lore in this world, movie
03:16:37 Piecewise: Man, the boy's voice is a LOT deeper in the disney version
03:16:49 Devastator: that what the king key looks like?
03:17:12 Piecewise: its the inspiration for it, though it doesn't look exactly the same
03:17:15 syv: I'm guessing I've got the Disney dub, kid's voice is deep.
03:17:26 Piecewise: Damn, kid is made of depleted uranium
03:17:28 syv: Jeez, that's some crap brickwork.
03:17:35 Piecewise: busted straight through like 3 layers of bricks
03:17:41 Devastator: kid's gonna be tough as hell with his work.
03:17:57 Devastator: since he seems to be doing it and not underfed, and has energy when not working.
03:17:57 syv: Maybe the necklace has the reverse effect with males.
03:18:03 Devastator: that kid's got energy.
03:18:06 Piecewise: Man, landing on bricks would hurt
03:18:18 Devastator: Yeah, but this kid is full of beans.
03:18:20 Devastator: he'll take anything.
03:18:37 Piecewise: I've got the subtitles on. In japanese he said "My head is harder than my boss's fists" Which is....a different connotation
03:18:52 syv: Nah, he's Anakin. C3-PO is the bird frame that was just ignored.
03:19:04 Devastator: I like this kid, he isn't Anakin.
03:19:28 Piecewise: He should try spinning
03:19:51 Devastator: the kid would be hell to raise in this age.
03:20:18 Devastator: dude got a picture.
03:20:26 Devastator: that good evidence there.
03:20:38 Piecewise: Miyazaki's father was an airplane manufacturer. He knows how to do it right, He just chooses to go fantastic
03:20:59 ER: boy's pretty fast on the uptake
03:21:04 Piecewise: Director of this movie
03:21:09 Piecewise: and most Ghibli movies
03:21:12 syv: Why are there so many creative geniuses with that name?
03:21:15 Devastator: this kid has the full package, really.
03:21:29 Devastator: big future ahead of him.
03:21:40 Piecewise: These are some GREAT suits
03:21:51 ER: oh no, that boy has long hair!
03:22:08 Piecewise: TIME TO GET MAAAANLY
03:22:09 Devastator: This is really great. I like those poses.
03:22:41 Devastator: dude, you don't get in a fistfight with a coal chucker.
03:23:20 Devastator: that pirate's not bad.
03:23:43 Piecewise: This disney dub sure adds a lot of chatter in the background
03:23:44 Devastator: this probably happens once a week.
03:24:03 syv: Makes sense, they kinda just got in a fight with a gang
03:24:10 Piecewise: Like all that talking while she was looking there? Not in the original
03:25:14 Piecewise: Fucking german grenade
03:25:15 syv: I was wrong, they got in a fight with an entire town...
03:25:23 ER: okay, so mama will just toss a grenade at a crowd
03:26:04 Devastator: I see we have th law of cartoon hijinks here.
03:26:19 syv: Soon, multi-track drifting
03:26:46 Devastator: how you gonna stoke the fire now?
03:27:41 Devastator: someone less dangerous.
03:28:12 Devastator: kid's got the whole package, indeed.
03:28:20 Piecewise: Third degree burns there
03:28:24 Devastator: "Ram the armoured train."
03:28:32 Devastator: could be, depends on the steam.
03:28:53 Devastator: might not be too bad.
03:29:39 syv: Man, fifty feet to either side and they'd've gone splat.
03:30:00 Piecewise: Try jumping from somewhere high
03:30:17 Piecewise: "Oops bottomless pit"
03:30:21 Devastator: Eh, gonna have wings, so..
03:30:23 syv: That'd be problematic, with wings.
03:30:34 Devastator: eh, wings and unnaturally light.
03:30:45 ER: huh, I can see why a sky pirate would want that :P
03:32:12 Devastator: is this where the toast in mouth thing got started?
03:32:48 Devastator: those mountains aren't that unrealistic,
syv.
03:32:48 Piecewise: Ah...when was castle in the sky...
03:33:11 Devastator: should call them spooks.
03:34:05 Devastator: that the kid's name?
03:34:15 Devastator: The kid is named after a demon?
03:34:38 ER: people in this movie seem really fine with the things that are happening
03:34:54 Devastator: That was blue collar folks back in the day,
ER.
03:35:06 Piecewise: Gotta roll with them punches
03:35:21 syv: Yeah, that's... not terribly unusual even today?
03:35:29 Devastator: The good ones, yeah.
03:35:56 Piecewise: more common in places where people aren't highly educated and thus highly specialized.
03:36:19 Piecewise: Apparently its called "Volculite" in japanese
03:36:26 syv: Yeaaah guess that fits this area.
03:37:13 Devastator: ..dude probably has it in his body.
03:38:27 syv: "Don't use powerful things you dig out of the ground. It'll cause the whole world to heat up and melt!"
03:38:57 Piecewise: I mean...dwarves well know the issues of digging things from the deep
03:39:35 syv: Yeah, but they normally don't care about global warming.
03:39:49 Devastator: better than elves. Nasty buggers swearing an oath on beings outside of existance..
03:40:32 Devastator: Gendo Ikari mk 1 there.
03:40:54 syv: She's British apparently, so nah, not her father.
03:40:58 Piecewise: Nice to give him a chamber pot, I guess
03:41:12 Devastator: I'd bet she would promise to not behave unless they brought the kid along.
03:41:34 ER: a cat boy could get through that
03:41:58 Devastator: "Hey ekrov, you want to be a catboy so you can squeeze through tight places?"
03:41:59 Piecewise: Thank god they camouflaged that castle.
03:42:06 syv: Agh I know this guy's voic3
03:42:39 ER: spooks are cooler than the military
03:42:39 Devastator: General, at that fat you're a pencil-pusher too.
03:43:08 Devastator: He is kinda indestructable.
03:43:13 syv: Think he might've been from one of those plastic army men games, I loved those as a kid.
03:43:21 Piecewise: That fat man is played by Mark Hamill
03:44:02 Devastator: That's being a bit too sanguine.
03:44:28 Devastator: mmm, so no microscopes.
03:44:57 syv: No, Hamill played this dude who's talking right now. He's not fat.
03:45:02 Devastator: 'only in your hands.'
03:45:05 ER: hmm, might need a decsendant of the king,
dev
03:45:21 Devastator: could do it, but dammit.
03:46:34 Piecewise: kid is robust ain't he
03:46:58 Devastator: kid prolly has 18 con.
03:47:11 syv: Jim Cummings, he played Sarge in those games.
03:47:19 syv: And now I start paying attention again.
03:47:33 Devastator: man, pretty impressive job hanging onto the kid there.
03:47:51 Devastator: oh, no, you aren't paying off a force of nature like that kid.
03:47:56 syv: Dude in the background, busy not giving a fuck.
03:48:07 Piecewise: Hell of a fortress eh?
03:48:22 Devastator: That's the kind of kid who'll build his own cannon to storm it.
03:48:31 Devastator: also dammit, that's a pain.
03:48:33 ER: kid's going to build an airplane powered by his powerful leg muscles and find laputa
03:49:06 Piecewise: That is a thick lady
03:49:10 syv: I've just noticed how small characters eyes are in this
03:49:35 Devastator: flying machine with leg muscles, ok.
03:49:36 ER: spend gold to make airplane
03:49:39 Devastator: also with a cannon.
03:49:40 Piecewise: yeah, Ghibli tends to have a fairly realistic style.
03:49:51 Devastator: yes, not giant eyes.
03:49:57 Devastator: okay, not a bad move there.
03:50:31 ER: mama still doesn't give a fuck
03:50:35 Devastator: Man, you've seen that kid enough to know nobody lets him do anything.
03:51:01 Piecewise: The style of eyes and their size varies by decade of anime too
03:51:21 syv: Apparently the 80s were top quality, then
03:51:41 Devastator: you might need a few more goons for this one.
03:52:15 syv: Man, he fell in love pretty fast.
03:52:20 Devastator: said someone who is both clever and strong.
03:52:29 Devastator: They took away his new friend, before he'd even properly met her!
03:52:34 Devastator: It's not even about love.
03:52:57 syv: She means everything to him, though?
03:53:07 Piecewise: That wasn't the original line
03:53:08 Devastator: Well, yes, he looks to be about 10.
03:53:17 Devastator: that's how 10 year old boys work.
03:53:25 Piecewise: originally he just said "I've got to help her!"
03:53:28 syv: Ah yeah, different scripts.
03:54:12 Devastator: this is really good.
03:54:31 Piecewise: Yeah, castle in the sky is one of my favorites
03:54:48 syv: Thanks for the rec of sorts, then?
03:55:03 Piecewise: Any of the ghibli movies are good
03:56:39 Devastator: gonna need bigger guns.
03:57:12 syv:
Piecewise, are the inactive golems like this?
03:57:22 Devastator: I think he said there are different kinds.
03:57:23 syv: I gotta edit my action if they are
03:57:34 Piecewise: never know unless you look
03:57:35 Devastator: gotta look over those books too.
03:57:39 Devastator: maybe you can figure out those words.
03:57:57 Devastator: the ones from the king's room.
03:58:02 Devastator: a whole small library.
03:58:45 Devastator: someone bought the deluxe robot.
03:59:09 syv: Laputan machines are actually pretty awesome, apparently.
03:59:16 ER: quick, order the bot to protect you with minimal collateral damage!
03:59:24 Piecewise: Lady get back here, I'm trying to help
03:59:38 Devastator: That guy's got dedication.
04:01:27 Devastator: that's a big laser.
04:01:51 syv: It's a conversion laser too
04:01:54 ER: ANY MORE MEATBAGS WANNA MESS WITH THE QUEEN
04:02:00 Devastator: also, who has fortress guns that can shoot at their own fortress?
04:02:03 syv: Turns whatever it shoots into explodium
04:02:12 Devastator:
ER, you could do that.
04:02:19 Devastator: make a laser that turns things into explosives.
04:02:25 syv: You SHOULD do that, that's awesome!
04:02:28 Piecewise: Its the japanese style laser that makes a line and then the line explodes
04:02:39 Devastator: yes, precise explosives.
04:03:05 Devastator: You mean there's something that can scare her off?
04:03:07 syv: Jesus, who makes a bodyguard robot that can raze an entire city singlehanded?
04:03:16 Devastator: People who don't belive in half-measures.
04:03:25 Devastator: besides their entire military might be like five of those things.
04:03:31 syv: Yeah I'm looking at those fucking golems
04:04:12 Devastator: those cannon are ridiculously accurate.
04:04:44 ER: okay, if that kills the laputans prolly needed more than five
04:04:55 Piecewise: Nice that they include a harness on the ship
04:05:05 Devastator: nah, it coulda shot down the battlecruiser if it wanted too.
04:05:10 syv: Uncharactistically sane for anime.
04:05:32 Devastator: and there probably aren't more than like two dozen of those battlecruisers.
04:05:35 Devastator: and probably fewer.
04:05:51 syv: From how Sarge was talking
04:06:00 Devastator: I doubt it, if you only build one you don't call it 'a battlecruiser'
04:06:05 Devastator: you just use the name.
04:06:45 Devastator: yes, poor sad robot.
04:06:57 Devastator: Pazu's still indestructable.
04:07:01 Devastator: all is right with the world.
04:08:47 syv: Were their jap lines also appropriate for ten year olds?
04:09:14 Devastator: Ahh, pirate aircraft carrier.
04:09:19 Devastator: pirate flying aircraft carrier.
04:09:26 Devastator: still second coolest pirates.
04:10:49 Devastator: television hijackers.
04:11:54 Devastator: maybe those are for counterrotation.
04:12:45 Devastator: enless supply of pink bottoms.
04:13:16 Devastator: get to work, yak herder! ;-p
04:13:23 syv: She has a painting of herself when she was young.
04:13:57 syv: 1:10:00 or so if you're curious enough to check after movie's done.
04:14:04 Devastator: Kinda am, actually.
04:14:55 ER: at least they get put to work
04:15:01 Piecewise: They all seem to be a bit touched in the head so...eh
04:15:23 Devastator: they do work, and they get fed.
04:15:26 Devastator: it's equal, really.
04:16:19 ER: she has an RPG round on her wall
04:16:27 Devastator: Totally in character.
04:16:38 syv: Panzerfaust actually, I think.
04:16:39 Piecewise: I would be surprised if she didn't
04:16:43 Devastator: surprised it wasn't a painting of an RPG round.
04:17:15 Devastator: she totally uses that to scare the watchman.
04:18:06 Devastator: dangit, it is going to be passwords.
04:18:26 Devastator: going to have to scry it out.
04:18:53 Devastator: it's a min of two days kidnapping, and that might not work.
04:19:27 Devastator: kid gets the ten gold.
04:19:54 syv: Heh, impact rounds exploding against *clouds*
04:20:12 Devastator: magnetic proximity maybe?
04:20:26 Devastator: if it's impact that's silly. ;-p
04:20:32 syv: Oh, I bet I can examine the king's key to help figure out passwords.
04:20:49 Devastator: yeah. I'll probably need some view words.
04:20:56 Devastator: and a microscope or two.
04:21:21 Devastator: I'll do a scry to find out if you're looking for words or blood or something.
04:21:31 Devastator: for all I know they have motion components.
04:21:51 Devastator: okay.. that's.. eminently reasonable and effective.
04:22:02 Devastator: although I'd have two cables.
04:22:34 Devastator: eh, maybe just one.
04:23:21 syv: Two might be an issue with their spooling system.
04:23:44 Devastator: that's a castle in the air.
04:24:06 syv: Really doesn't look that weird.
04:26:09 Devastator: you won't be going to the dragon's lair today.
04:26:48 Devastator: mmm, kites can't fly without stays..
04:27:04 syv: Oh they sure can in a thunderstorm.
04:28:41 Devastator: yeah, good landing.
04:28:58 ER: aka, one you can walk away from
04:29:11 syv: I give it a C. "Not lethal"
04:29:25 Devastator: You need to adjust that for this kid.
04:29:40 syv: Girl doesn't seem invulnerable.
04:29:49 syv: She just has a really high AC.
04:30:00 Devastator: low AC, I'm old school.
04:30:14 syv: A really good AC, how 'bout that?
04:30:52 ER: when you gonna run an adnd campaign for us,
dev? :P
04:31:02 Devastator: It'd take a significant effort.
04:31:15 Devastator: if you can find my old illustrator GM and get him here I'd seriously consider it.
04:31:19 syv: ...Yeah, I'd prefer catgame.
04:31:47 Devastator: I belive he's in south korea these days and is named John Chartres.
04:31:58 Devastator: or Jon, can never remember.
04:33:35 Devastator: I've talked to people with wiki pages before. ;-p
04:36:11 Devastator: those totally are pokemon. ;-p
04:36:11 Piecewise: Oh hey, those critters from Naausica
04:36:27 Piecewise: They show up in another ghibli movie
04:36:46 ER: ghilbi cinemtic universe convirmed
04:37:20 ER: I seem to remember a deadly spore forest
04:37:24 Devastator: maybe we should have brought more people.
04:37:35 Devastator: got more Evangelion.
04:37:53 syv: ...I like this much more than Eva tbh
04:38:06 Devastator: I'm enjoying this a lot.
04:38:09 Piecewise: Nausica is the origin of Dark Soul's ash lake
04:38:11 Devastator: but it's one movie.
04:38:33 Devastator: I'd rather not give up on EVA after 3 episodes.
04:38:56 Devastator: it hasn't even gotten really weird yet.
04:39:00 syv: We can resume Ghibli with Mononoke anyway
04:39:18 Devastator: although that one's gated on the wolf, right?
04:40:30 ER: is there a "teleport invaders away harmlessly" spell?
04:40:45 Devastator: judging from the combat bot, probably not.
04:41:13 syv: Man, that's some ridiculous finger strength
04:41:15 Piecewise: This kid has no fear of heights and very good grip
04:41:22 Devastator: Kid makes all his saves.
04:41:33 syv: Aren't even visible marks in the wall.
04:41:37 Devastator: he's got a +4 for precociousness, and a +8 for protagonist.
04:42:20 ER: that was deflected by his stone skinn
04:42:47 Devastator: in an enclosed space.
04:42:59 Devastator: well, he's dirty, so..
04:43:22 Devastator: That kid deserves it.
04:43:40 Devastator: why do you care, general.
04:43:58 Piecewise: He never did like Muska
04:44:52 Devastator: the hell is that book..
04:45:12 Piecewise: likely a bunch of notes from whatever accounts he could get hold of
04:46:00 syv: I was already wondering if removing it would destroy everything...
04:46:17 Devastator: Maybe if it was flying.
04:46:35 Devastator: there's some regret there.
04:46:46 Devastator: we could still try to pay them off with magicoal and a fighter or two.
04:47:04 Devastator: okay, that's something.
04:47:11 Devastator: there any stones like that,
Piecewise?
04:47:32 Piecewise: Like what he was using to control it?
04:47:41 Devastator: they'd be tied down, so still there.
04:48:10 Piecewise: You haven't seen one, though the control room might be a good analog
04:49:00 Devastator: I think you'd find that in the outer wall,
syv.
04:49:13 syv: Just build a death star in your floating city, why not.
04:49:23 Devastator: you have one, you have all.
04:49:32 Devastator: dude, that's a hologram.
04:49:49 Devastator: well, that was obvious.
04:51:52 ER: okay, there's a lot more than five of them
04:51:56 Piecewise: That is one fucked airship
04:52:05 Devastator: but they're not using the giant lazers.
04:52:20 Piecewise: Like a mountain goat with gecko feet
04:53:07 Piecewise: getting joker vibes here
04:53:10 Devastator: yeah, so far pazuzu has brains, strength, speed, gekohands, indestructability..
04:53:23 Devastator: it's like he's a 18th level adventurer or something.
04:53:31 Devastator: except he rolled for stats.
04:53:31 Piecewise: Fucker just fired a grenade into a wall that was a foot from his face
04:53:46 Devastator: he got shot and he didn't even get more than scratched.
04:53:46 Piecewise: He should just jump off this thing and swim back
04:54:13 Devastator: okay, that'll piss him off.
04:54:39 Piecewise: Another headshot shrugged off
04:54:41 ER: he forgot that he needs to reload
04:54:57 Devastator: kid has triple-digit hit points.
04:56:06 Piecewise: This guy is a hell of a shot
04:56:49 Piecewise: huh, its 3 minutes in the subs
04:56:52 Devastator: I think if he has three bullets left that wouldn't be enough to stop the kids.
04:57:21 Devastator: I don't know if six would be enough.
04:57:38 syv: It's much closer to a minute.
04:58:13 Devastator: well, there's a one-word self destruct.
04:58:35 Piecewise: Not even a really complex one either
04:58:46 Piecewise: it was like two syllables
04:58:55 Devastator: well, someones going to be picking up a lot of gold.
04:58:57 Piecewise: And it sounded like "Balls"
04:59:11 Devastator: yeah, not kidnapping someone.
04:59:18 Devastator: they might tell the destruct word.
04:59:21 syv: "Bah-loose" was what I heard
04:59:42 Devastator: welp, time to go diving.
05:00:45 Devastator: oh, so it's a word to enter orbit.
05:01:02 syv: One of the tones in this song sounds near identical to my phone's notification noisw.
05:01:02 Piecewise: I wonder what the death count for this movie is. Lot of dead soldiers round here
05:01:29 Devastator: the crew of that battlecruiser?
05:01:50 Piecewise: don't forget that got blowed up good
05:01:58 ER: I think it was... exactly everyone on the battlecruiser and nobody else
05:02:22 ER: we didn't see the robot kill anyone so it didn't ;p
05:02:48 Piecewise: Honestly surprised we didn't get voice over of someone yelling "They're ok!"
05:03:00 Piecewise: Like in a lot of dubs
05:03:17 Devastator: indestructable kid is alive.
05:03:42 Devastator: step one, fill pockets.
05:03:46 Devastator: then do everything else.
05:04:00 Piecewise: Living ain't living if you ain't got booty
05:04:19 Devastator: I was thinking, 'well, at least the pirates probably got paid.'
05:04:37 Piecewise: Laputa now in low earth orbit
05:04:52 Devastator: yeah, gonna take a few generations to get to it again.
05:04:54 Piecewise: with a bunch of oxygen deprived critters and a big dead tree
05:04:58 syv: Now they get to go back to their crappy life as coal miners.
05:05:01 Devastator: unless it can do that.
05:05:07 Devastator: eh, the pirates should cut them in.
05:05:10 Devastator: booty gets split up fairly.
05:05:13 syv: It prolly has the ability to maintain an atmosphere.
05:05:19 Devastator: and they seem like a pretty happy crew.
05:05:24 Piecewise: Booty gets split right down the middle~
05:05:30 Devastator: so probably wouldn't be any trouble.
05:05:32 ER: I think that the tree and crystal are in symbiosis now and probably keeping life support for the critters in the garden
05:06:55 Devastator: how often do I use fine like that?
05:07:03 Piecewise: Masterwork movie, menacing with spikes
05:07:26 ER: if they set the movie generator to "very fine" then we would have an incident on our hands
05:07:45 Devastator: It's fine is "Things are acceptable."
05:08:00 Devastator: Fine ___ is "This is unusually well done."
05:08:01 Piecewise: Dat movie is Fiiiiine
05:08:02 syv: Fine quality means +quality+
05:08:33 Piecewise: You guys would probably like royal space force too
05:08:51 Piecewise: we watched that on Discord and everyone liked it
05:09:03 syv: This is way better than a 3/8 movie.
05:09:18 Devastator: if we're talking quality levels..
05:09:24 Devastator: I'd say this is probably second or third rank.
05:09:36 Devastator: discounting 'artifacts'
05:09:41 Piecewise: this is a question isn't it
05:09:44 syv: Ekrov is nobility in Ekrov, can he become a prince within reason?
05:09:59 syv:
Dev is bugging me to have Ekrov make Saeko a princess.
05:10:26 Piecewise: Start your own little kingdom and you can call yourself whatever you want
05:10:35 syv: 6/7 if 2nd rank discounting artifacts, Exceptional quality.
05:10:36 ER: hey, all you have to do to do that is start your own nation
05:10:42 Piecewise: alternatively, just call yourself whatever you want
05:10:52 Devastator: which is about what I use Fine ____ to mean, yes.
05:10:56 Piecewise: I call myself a skeleton all the time
05:11:00 ER: and starting your own nation is as easy as making a painting world~
05:11:48 Piecewise: Did I say I have an action figure of the laputa robot?
05:12:47 Piecewise: arms and legs are kind of like posable watch bands
05:13:01 syv: A peaceful land with kind inhabitants
05:13:39 ER: hey, do you think that the structure on Ariamis decayed over time, or was it just painted as ruins?
05:13:58 syv: 1:09:49 for the painting of young granny
05:14:31 ER: the place looks like ruins from the outside, when you're looking at the painting
05:14:43 ER: so did the painting itself change?
05:14:45 Piecewise: it was a place to store things no one liked so...maybe they didn't care
05:15:12 Piecewise: Was blighttown always a giant sewer or did it just end up that way over time?
05:15:24 Devastator: ahh, good old pirate queen.
05:15:35 syv: They did jam a kid in there.
05:15:47 syv: So I'd figure the painting just changes.
05:16:11 syv: Then again, her doll says it was cold and lonely when she got there, but maybe it was just snowy and empty, but not ruined?
05:17:19 ER: painting a snow covered ruined castle for a kid to live in is pretty dickish
05:18:01 ER: eh, so is banishing your weird dragon child to a pocket dimension in general, I guess
05:18:13 syv: Well, they *were* afraid she'd kill them.
05:18:23 syv: And she's a horrible crossbreed monster.
05:18:25 ER: the biggest problem in dark souls land is that everyone's a bunch of fuckers, I swear
05:18:48 Devastator: now you know why I stabbed everyone in 3.
05:19:00 syv: ...It's weird that they locked her away
05:19:06 syv: Bleed kinda sucks against bosses.
05:19:16 ER: she doesn't attack the chosen undead, and she was raised in a lonely world with a bunch of monsters
05:19:39 ER: she's like, not very dangerous
05:20:09 syv: Does she even deal increased bleed damage to the *player*?
05:20:27 syv: I'm not sure she's ever managed to bleed me, and if so I wasn't paying attention/
05:20:58 ER: I'm not sure. That might be only an effect of the scythe and dagger
05:21:30 Piecewise: Howl's moving castle, Mononoke, Nausicaa and Spirited away are your big Ghibli movies to watch. Porco rosso, The Wind Rises, and Poppy hill are also good. Totoro, Cat returns, Ponyo are all aimed at kids more than anything
05:22:07 Piecewise: kiki is...kinda aimed at teens I think. Still fun.
05:22:09 ER: but yeah, the gods supposedly being afraid of "lifehunt" doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of what lifehunt is in the mechanics of the game
05:22:17 syv: I liked Totoro, but I was also a small child.
05:22:32 Piecewise: Earthsea and Arrietty are good too but not quite up to the same quality as the others to my mind
05:22:37 Piecewise: still very well animated
05:22:53 syv: Don't think I've ever seen Howl's, haven't seen naausea.
05:23:09 Piecewise: They're definitely worth a look
05:25:38 Piecewise: Earthsea and Poppy hill were done by Miyazaki's son...they have a complex relationship
05:25:51 Piecewise: he didn't really want to be a director apparently.
05:26:47 ER: at some point in the future
05:27:47 Piecewise: I still need to read the manga for Nausicaa
05:27:58 Piecewise: its apparently pretty different from the movie
05:50:41 ER: hey
syv, if you don't know what else to use your Question for, why not just get stats for evengelion monsters?
05:51:29 syv: I already know Kaiju use stats similar to normal units, and have a rough idea of where some Kaiju attacks map to unit stats.
05:51:42 syv: It'd be very little information gained.
05:51:52 Devastator: Kaiju don't use stats anything like normal units.
05:51:54 ER: yeah, but so is not asking anything
05:52:02 Devastator: some of their weapons use stats like normal attacks, but that's it.
05:52:08 syv: I'm not gonna ask nothing.
06:06:52 Devastator: I've been meaning to ask.
06:06:59 Devastator: What is the original wave-motion cannon?
06:27:43 ER: was gonna toss some painting questions at him
06:52:42 syv: I hear, you buzzing, a fly on the wall...
06:52:57 Devastator: well, take your time.
06:57:27 syv: My fault, wasn't paying close attention and didn't realize it was a non-wall spawn.
06:57:30 ER: I don't think it's bad that softlocks are possible, but I wish that they were a little harder to basically spawn into
07:01:14 ER: you start by a wall, but 2 out of 3 possible moves instantly fail you
07:02:13 syv: Well you realized that was a softlock pretty fast.
07:07:55 syv: It's not really surprising, considering the great majority of my deaths are softlocks.
07:28:01 ER: opposed to just giving Painting some mana in the same way mages can trade it?
07:28:23 ER: that might be all it takes to extend her life, maybe even let her use it to cast.
07:29:06 syv: I was considering asking whether she accomplished anything with her attempt to cast.
07:29:22 syv: It does imply she has some ability, since she could move her own mana enough to unravel.
07:29:39 ER: and hey if she can cast what sae can and I can just refill her myself, I am *definately* adopting this painting
07:30:06 ER: unless she would rather live inside of an artifical world than explore the world with me for somer reason
07:33:57 ER: Z now has d10+5 str, d8+5 end, and d8+5 will
07:36:22 syv: Ask about what Z looks like due to those
07:38:28 ER: what are you complaining about, this time?
07:38:43 Devastator: same thing as always.
07:40:59 syv: Having a baby mage breaker along to spy on him.
07:41:49 Devastator: It's having a PC baby magebreaker.
07:42:02 Devastator: an NPC I could bribe or maneuver around.
07:42:37 ER: well, it's probably a good thing they sent me, then.
07:42:37 syv: ...Both of which you can do to
ER.
07:42:45 syv: Probably more effectively really.
07:43:11 Devastator: Nah, there was no need for them to send anyone.
07:43:17 Devastator: I'd have gotten the core for them anyway.
07:43:22 syv: An NPC has a good chance of just being diehard loyal no matter what, which
ER isn't really likely to be.
07:43:32 Devastator: Nah,
ER's guaranteed to be diehard loyal.
07:43:33 syv: You say, despite having suggested not giving them the core.
07:43:44 Devastator: I've suggested it, yeah, but not realistically.
07:43:58 syv: Like, if there's no reason for them to send anyone... then it doesn't matter that they sent anyone.
07:44:16 syv: And you can benefit (have benefitted?) from having Zavi around...
07:44:44 Devastator: but it's, you know, flavor.
07:45:03 syv: And having a cop watching you isn't flavor?
07:45:07 Devastator: Zavi gets max personal stats and unlimited mana and a slave.
07:45:33 Devastator: I get a couple of useful bonuses that could have been replaced by another d6 spell.. I like having them, but they're nothing that special.
07:45:33 syv: Oh no! Another player is benefitting from something we did, without actually costing us anything!
07:45:45 syv: How horrifying, we even like that other player!
07:46:03 Devastator: I'd just like some help with this whole core thing, or the drain project, or other things.
07:47:24 syv: You *could* try, y'know, asking the guy who plays Zavi.
07:47:41 syv: Maybe that'd work better than just cussing and telling him how much you hate having him around.
07:50:23 Devastator: It's
PW I'm annoyed at, though, not
ER.
ER's just playing things in a sensible, reasonable way.
07:51:08 Devastator: Yeah. I mean, as a GM, the right thing to do is annoy me.
07:51:34 syv: (
Devastator) I'd just like some help with this whole core thing, or the drain project, or other things.
07:51:39 ER: I still have no idea what you're actually annoyed about
07:51:40 syv: Doesn't seem like Dubs' fault.
07:52:03 syv: His grievances are a labyrinthine puzzle.
07:52:03 ER: you're ranting in a very vague way, as you do
07:53:01 syv: Think of it like a puzzle, figuring out what he's actually angry about. Then he becomes a fun game, rather than an annoyance.
07:54:19 ER: well, the puzzle's answer aught to be "ask in a consise manner", and the fact that it doen't work that may means its a wrong and bad puzzle ;p
07:54:28 Devastator: "Please don't keep copies of my character around as a personal servant."
07:54:54 Devastator: "Except I can't say that because your character is not something I can ask to do anything."
07:55:25 Devastator: "And was forced upon me because the GM decided it to be so."
07:58:19 syv: Ekrov created the animated person, he has a pretty strong argument in favor of deciding its fate. Saeko owns the painting's visage, and as stated before, Ekrov would probably change it anyway.
07:59:19 syv: Zavi's only argument in favor of keeping the painting without consent from Saeko (and by extension Ekrov) is "I'll give a negative report if you don't do what I want", which... is very dumb to do, and unlikely for her anyway.
07:59:46 syv: And you can totally ask Zavi to do a ton of stuff. You can't *force* her to do things.
08:00:10 ER: My argument would hypothetically be "she's a person and can decide for herself what to do"
08:00:28 ER: so it's not really something I'd demand of anyone, I'll ask her about it
08:00:31 syv: But forcing and asking are pretty different. This is why rape is considered a really terrible crime, despite sex usually being considered a really positive thing.
08:01:08 syv: *Insert insult about
Dev's sex life*
08:05:08 Devastator: I don't see a NPC ever refusing a suggestion from a PC like that.
08:05:21 syv: Suppose I'll throw one more thing in there. Yeah, Dubs forced a cop to watch you, when you're doing an extremely important mission for the government. That's eminently sane and reasonable, unusually so for
Piecewise. It can also be considered, very reasonably, as a slight challenge modifier for a mission that amounts to a raid on an unguarded treasure vault.
08:06:00 syv: In other words, you're complaining that after getting so much free shit thrown at you, there's some minor piece of challenge that you have to think around.
08:06:13 syv: (
Devastator) I don't see a NPC ever refusing a suggestion from a PC like that.
08:06:25 Devastator: "Come with me and lets go adventure together."
08:06:26 syv: What event is this referring to?
08:06:45 syv: Oh, from Zavi asking Painting Saeko?
08:07:43 syv: Okay. Doesn't mean you can't A) Tell Zavi not to do that, B) Ask
ER (who I presume to be something approaching a friend) not to do that, C) Tell the NPC who you can literally control or destroy on a whim not to do that.
08:08:00 syv: Oh no, things aren't perfectly optimal, guarantedd!
08:08:28 syv: Oh, there's D) Ask the NPC not to do that.
08:08:32 syv: But that one's a die roll.
08:09:30 ER: I'm not even trying to roll to convince her, I just want to give her options...
08:09:51 Devastator: please don't go around permanently with a copy of my character,
ER.
08:10:08 syv: Define "copy of my character", please.
08:10:29 Devastator: identical statline, apperance, abilities, and behavior based on my own actions.
08:10:58 syv: Appearance and behavior would be different. Is that insufficient to remove the discomfort?
08:11:07 Devastator: No, they're only mildly different.
08:11:08 ER: I'll do what I want, based off of what I see as reasonable IC.
08:29:34 syv: Hey
ER. Why won't you leave Gravid?
08:34:19 ER: Because Zavirius has to ensure that Saeko brings the city core back to Alkahest.
08:35:16 ER: Which is to say that the only reason why I'm here is a mission which hasn't been completed yet and I have no idea why
dev keeps yelling at me to leave OOC as if that changes anything.

10:47:52 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK T-MOBILE!"]
15:18:11 ER: Okay, so Painting's initial temporary spell acts like a sort of battery and drains over time. This is why she deanimated when trying to cast a spell; she used mana from the battery keeping her alive.
15:19:43 ER: We can just add mana to her without a spell, which either adds to the animating battery and keeps her alive longer, or creates an additional seperate battery.
15:20:08 ER: The bad news is that she can only hold 50 mana, and uses 5 mana a day to stay alive.

23:17:44 Devastator: I'll go clean up saeko's sheet for you then,
PW.
23:27:59 Devastator: I'll go revert her back to her starting stats, then.
23:36:09 Devastator: Probably remove that word Permanent, doesn't make sense.
23:36:35 Devastator: I'll assume Benedict will last the trip back and then have the spells expire then, just for conveience sake.
23:37:23 Devastator: I'll drop the armour a grade to d6 with equivalent weight class. Assume it's got one steel cloth spell on it with a bunch of mana, and nothing else.
23:45:19 Devastator: ok, there's the line about permanent.
23:45:45 Devastator:
Piecewise, you mind if I remove 'permanent' spells I don't really care about, and score up the ones I want to keep?
23:46:22 Piecewise: Part of why I posted that with no turn is because, while not a huge change, it will effect a few of you pretty heavily
23:46:35 Devastator: Yeah, glad I didn't go whole hog into it.
23:46:37 Piecewise: So it will probably take a bit to get everyone up to speed
23:46:45 Devastator: also going to be hard to go monster.
23:47:11 Devastator: eh, can live with that. I guess if I keep feeding this spirit it could power enchantments.
23:47:53 Piecewise: It may not be clear but you could still go full monster, you'd just have to keep making that mutation roll for each spell you dump on yourself
23:48:20 Devastator: oh, I thought self-affecting spells would take upkeep.
23:48:26 Devastator: right, that's for inanimate objects.
23:50:15 Piecewise: Basically for anything other than players because I don't want to have players sitting here paying mana each time they use an upgraded stat
23:50:32 Piecewise: Thematically it would make sense but it would be no fun
23:51:05 Devastator: I'll be redoing benny after we get back, so can I just have him sort of float until we go back to the capital?
23:51:25 Devastator: personal stuff I'll do now.
23:51:55 Piecewise: We're basically at the point in one of my longer running games where I have to admit that the players have broken things in a way I didn't foresee. And by float you mean just like...ignore the rule change till then?
23:53:20 Devastator: nah, just assume I pumped enough mana to keep benedict this way until the trip back, given that I had the duration planned out.
23:53:29 Devastator: so the spells will expire when the time limit does.
23:53:35 Devastator: and I'll redo them properly next time.
23:54:37 Devastator: I'll work out the IC stuff.
23:54:51 Devastator: that is, the character stuff.
23:55:36 Piecewise: Basically I want to keep all those levels you guys have (assuming you want to keep them) but I just also want to roll for all of them to see what happens
23:56:53 Devastator: yeah, I'll keep the pluses.
23:57:07 Devastator: probably lose some die increases, though.
23:57:29 Piecewise: I want to wait to talk to
SY and
ER and maybe Radio before I really do anything, but I'll work on that
23:58:13 Devastator: I'll hold off for now then.
23:59:01 Piecewise: Benedict is organic, so he's fine. Salt is a summon though. We can assume she was fed till now
