00:59:50 IronyOwl: my money's on the 91st getting absolutely wrecked
01:00:35 IronyOwl: poor nonessential sulla
01:16:37 IronyOwl: yeah, your guys look pretty useless
01:16:54 IronyOwl: both the fighters and the nebtu and your paper civilians
01:22:09 IronyOwl: that's an amazing technicality
01:25:58 IronyOwl: you wanna replay this one?
01:26:05 Devastator: That mission is really fucking hard.
01:26:11 Devastator: they're all hard at this end.
01:26:26 Devastator: missed out on the "Meretorious Unit Commendation" for that one.
01:29:28 IronyOwl: AI glory at its finest
01:32:16 IronyOwl: lost score from missiles are probably the least of your worries
01:37:27 IronyOwl: yeah I saw the flaming guy fire at nothing
01:38:03 IronyOwl: I was actually thinking a missile bay attachment might not be a bad idea
01:41:07 IronyOwl: does gun position matter?
01:41:15 IronyOwl: also this mission looks considerably easier than the last one
01:50:27 IronyOwl: forgot to ask, does this game have friendly fire?
01:53:51 IronyOwl: gettin laggy on my end
01:54:00 IronyOwl: seems to be back to normal
01:56:23 IronyOwl: huh, your guys took care of enemies on their own
01:58:06 Devastator: they can handle the occasional fighter or bomber.
01:58:09 Devastator: not much more than that.
01:58:13 Devastator: and yeah, it has friendly fire.
01:58:27 Devastator: gun position.. well, each 'rack' is a set of weapons.
01:58:39 Devastator: the lower primary rack is four guns, and the upper is two.
02:04:31 IronyOwl: they gonna sac the colossus for this?
02:11:58 IronyOwl: I guess being blown up is a good reason to abort rearming sequence
02:13:09 IronyOwl: those are really cool-looking missiles
02:31:52 IronyOwl: uh hey maybe the biggest ship you've ever made shouldn't valiantly sacrifice itself
02:34:53 IronyOwl: is capship AI less braindead than fighter AI?
02:41:29 Devastator: but it has less to think about.
02:45:22 IronyOwl: did you say you were gonna take a break and I zoned out?
02:46:03 Devastator: it started lagging.
02:46:07 Devastator: so I need to restart it.
02:46:18 Devastator: I think it's cache-related, so need like a few minutes for it to fix.

02:49:16 Piecewise: had to drop out of the phone based IRC ap
02:49:23 Piecewise: wanted me to suddenly start paying money
02:55:44 Devastator: did you find something okay now,
Piecewise?
02:55:56 Devastator: Also, I'm streaming Freespace 2 tonight.
02:55:59 Devastator: finishing up the campaign.
02:58:16 Piecewise: so I can do it on the pc
02:58:50 Devastator: well, if you want to watch, I'm gonna go start it up again.

03:07:53 IronyOwl: 3000 meters in 3 minutes? isn't that miserably slow?
03:19:22 IronyOwl: see? not EVERYONE is dead
03:25:26 IronyOwl: shivans sick of your shit
03:25:31 IronyOwl: gonna clean this up real quick
03:29:37 IronyOwl: did some of the shivan ships just sit there?
03:30:03 IronyOwl: it is pretty cool that the final mission will let you die, though
03:30:38 Devastator: yeah, some of them didn't make it out.
03:30:50 Devastator: there's a couple ways you can cheese it to delay the supernova, but I've never done them.
03:31:12 Devastator: Don't know why the shivans blew up Capella.
03:32:25 IronyOwl: is it not supposed to be possible to make it out, then?
03:32:40 IronyOwl: is there a different ending monologue if you make it?
03:32:42 Devastator: It's entirely possible to make it out.
03:32:49 Devastator: and yes, the ending cutscene is different.
03:33:06 Devastator: I only missed it by maaaybe two seconds, and had I reacted quicker, would have made it out.
03:35:44 Devastator: also, if I'd been thinking I could have been closer to the exit when it started. It normally always goes off at the same time.
03:45:40 Devastator: I do think you can retry the two-mission set. I might do that before trying out some custom campaigns.
03:46:04 Devastator: if only because it's kinda lame to continue with alpha 1 after alpha 1 is dead.

05:29:45 MidJag: Well, tommorow/techincally today is the big day.
05:30:25 Devastator: having fun stumping akinator. Trying that game I had going with
syv.
05:30:35 Devastator: try to find the least-played character akinator can successfully guess.
05:30:53 Devastator: stumping akinator isn't that hard.
05:31:06 MidJag: Oh? I've never really tried it.
05:31:53 IronyOwl: he's rather impressive sometimes and rather shit others
05:32:04 IronyOwl: also some of his question chains are just completely bizarre
05:32:09 Devastator: yeah.
Syv had one below a hundred plays and that was impressive as hell.
05:32:16 Devastator: my lowest was about twice his record.
05:32:51 MidJag: Not bad. I take the MCAT tommorow, so my nerves are a bit fried right now.
05:33:31 Devastator: Most fun I had was that he asked "Does your character lose in the end" when referring to Napoleon III.
05:34:36 Devastator: Yeah, I couldn't believe it.
05:34:41 Devastator: "Yes.. yes he does."
05:34:42 MidJag: That's really something
05:38:05 Devastator: Yeah. There are few more fitting questions.
05:38:12 IronyOwl: "Does your character go to school?" No
05:38:19 IronyOwl: "Does your character still go to school?" ...
05:38:28 Devastator: yeah, you get some of those.
05:40:24 IronyOwl: Asked "Does your character live with his mother?" on Question 8, thought he had it
05:40:28 Devastator: hmm, zeroed right in on admiral Yi there. "Is your character dead more than a hundred years" "Is your character Asian" "Is your character Korean" "Did your character work on a ship?"
05:40:34 IronyOwl: 50 questions later, he finally guesses Grendel
05:40:40 Devastator: ahh, right a movie came out just now.
05:40:55 Devastator: that makes it easy.
05:41:02 Devastator: Heh, not bad. How many plays?
05:41:30 IronyOwl: oh gosh, I know an obscure one
05:44:43 Devastator: 1578 for Private Wojtek.
05:44:49 Devastator: gotta get that lower.
05:45:11 Devastator: no, I think I did Emperor Norton before.
05:45:14 IronyOwl: "Does your character play for the Dallas Cowboys?"
05:45:24 IronyOwl: Yes, my shirtless sword-swinger plays for the Dallas Cowboys
05:45:42 Devastator: sometimes it's something you don't know about being eliminated.
05:47:26 Devastator: and sometimes it'll nail something and then come back around to it after a bunch of unrelated questions.
05:48:04 IronyOwl: had it listed, but failed to find
05:48:09 IronyOwl: Deathstalker (Fantasy Warrior)
05:48:30 IronyOwl: tried Conan, Red Sonja, Prince Colwyn (Hero of Krull), and Rance (hah)
05:49:17 Devastator: I hope it got Conan.
05:49:36 IronyOwl: I mean he guessed those, not that I tried em on him
05:49:46 Devastator: Mmm, that's tricky.
05:49:47 IronyOwl: but yeah, not getting Conan would be bizarre
05:49:58 Devastator: I can see not being able to split off deathstalker from the others.
05:50:15 Devastator: My lowball record was for Benedict of Amber.
05:50:17 IronyOwl: admittedly I wasn't sure how to answer the questions about him being bad/evil
05:50:30 IronyOwl: he's a dick but the lesser dick in this scenario
05:50:36 Devastator: Yeah, some can be tough. Just say don't know or probably or something.
05:50:43 Devastator: game keeps track of percentages.
05:50:51 Devastator: like someone might have 60% evil or something.
05:51:39 IronyOwl: oh I'm gonna try something fun obscure, and then something unreasonably obscure
05:52:12 MidJag: Hmm, I should go to bed.
05:52:23 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
05:56:15 Devastator: Lets try something that should be easier.
05:58:45 Devastator: mmm, having too much trouble, heh.
05:58:52 Devastator: Does a reimagining count as a sequel?
06:00:16 IronyOwl: ah, couldn't get this one either
06:00:27 IronyOwl: Baron Kaanuub, recurring villain in the ol' King Kull comics
06:00:46 IronyOwl: obscure but not super out there
06:01:07 Devastator: "Has he been elected mayor."
06:02:26 Devastator: He ends his book being elected minister plenepotentiary to a nation of native intelligent creatures, by said natives.
06:02:49 Devastator: Just asked "Is your character the head of a group of people?" (Yes)
06:03:01 IronyOwl: more like a president or governor than a mayor, I think?
06:03:20 Devastator: foreign minister, really.
06:04:26 Devastator: which is sad, I was expecting Scalzi to be more popular than that.
06:05:29 Devastator: Literature characters always are poor for that.
06:05:42 Devastator: hmm, what was the name of the captain in Rendezvous with Rama..
06:06:00 Devastator: no, not a good pick, that is not a character-driven novel.
06:07:12 IronyOwl: and it asked "does she fight monsters" so I said yes
06:07:18 IronyOwl: before realizing she doesn't do very MUCH fighting...
06:07:49 IronyOwl: got her after 30 tries and a false guess
06:08:54 Devastator: Actually, that's one.
06:09:11 Devastator: I wonder if akinator can get John W Campbell Jr.
06:09:21 Devastator: went more than a little around the bend, so not a popular modern figure.
06:09:43 Devastator: one of the most important figures in the history of the genre.
06:14:31 Devastator: mmm, fishing for other writers, heh.
06:14:42 Devastator: seeing some questions that would pick out other figures, but not him.
06:16:31 Devastator: Mmm, fishing for him with this one. I think akinator got him.
06:17:36 Devastator: No, picked someone else very close to him, but known as a writer, not an editor. I don't think anyone fed Akinator a question about editing.
06:18:11 Devastator: I bet if I picked a semi-obscure period writer it'd have very few plays.
06:22:30 Devastator: Oh, that's a character. I want to say yes so bad, but it's the wrong one.
06:22:35 Devastator: Akinator guessed The Mule.
06:24:08 Devastator: Nuts, it's in the list but not guessed. Gully Foyle.
06:24:24 Devastator: I think it got on the wrong track with "does your character have a nickname linked with animals"
06:26:26 IronyOwl: yeah, The Mule is a good one
06:27:07 Devastator: Yeah, I wanted to see how many guess that.
06:27:52 Devastator: Mine was on the list, but again, I don't get to see how many when Akinator misses. Dors Venabili.
06:28:10 Devastator: tried one more after gully foyle. Akinator gave up really early.
06:29:19 IronyOwl: harder than I'd think to come up with obscure but not totally infeasible characters
06:29:31 IronyOwl: actually, maybe I've got one
06:30:17 IronyOwl: the other problem is that sometimes I don't even know the answers to some of these
06:30:25 Devastator: gonna try R. Giskard Reventlov
06:32:32 IronyOwl: guessed The Beast from Over the Garden Wall
06:32:38 IronyOwl: not even remotely close, but I like it!
06:34:30 Devastator: aki gave me two questions that have never been asked that character.
06:35:44 Devastator: What's safe's name again?
06:36:10 Devastator: "Why do you call her safe?" "Because she isn't." ;-p
06:37:36 IronyOwl: couldn't guess Alpha from the Men In Black cartoon
06:38:40 Devastator: I'm happy with 326.
06:40:46 Devastator: which one was alpha? I remember that show, but not everyone in it.
06:42:36 IronyOwl: grafted alien parts onto himself
06:45:38 Devastator: right, the villain.
07:13:54 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:15:23 syv: A lot of the chars he doesn't get he just didn't luck into asking the right questions for. IIRC I had to run Monkey three times before he got her, though he *did* have about twenty plays (I think), and eventually guessed her without me telling him.
07:16:31 syv: Wonder how many plays she has now.
08:16:47 Devastator: Yeah, it's definately supposed to learn.
08:17:14 syv: Monkey from Roadside Picnic.
08:17:27 syv: A very minor character that appears on like four-five pages, I think.
08:17:41 syv: She's more like an event than a character.

21:45:22 ER: it's hard and rough and it gets everywhere
21:55:41 ER: man, youtube comments are amusing.
21:59:14 Devastator: started out at 5 AM, so done a bit early.
22:00:31 ER: 1: song is a meme but also good. 2: song trash. 3: how dare you dislike song, you're acting like a child! 4: song trash. 3: [basically the same thing] 2: actually, you're the lame child.
22:00:54 ER: it's like OP can post anything and then randos will fight about nothing in the replies. :P
22:02:04 Devastator: fighting about the OP would involve reading.

NJW, except drunker.
22:05:52 Devastator: wifi and waifu are only a couple of characters different.
22:08:12 NJW: bad internet connection dating sim time?
22:08:42 Devastator: been thinking I might run a game where you are a JRPG character.
22:08:50 Devastator: it'd just be a non-combat suggestion game.
22:09:09 Devastator: well, there'd be combat, but it'd be.. not really part of the game.
22:10:14 Devastator: you'd either be able to take the opponent or not, and if not, you have to buy something or level up and then you can.
22:14:42 Devastator: maybe but it'd be off-screen.
22:19:14 Devastator: got two plots I could go through left over when I was thinking about making a RPG maker game with a friend of mine.

22:52:08 ER: ...Still want
dev to do a Generic Girl simulator
22:52:27 ER: like we talked about while watching NGE
22:54:11 Devastator: you are a perfectly ordinary person in an anime hellscape.
22:54:19 ER: the world is ending and you're a generic extra
22:54:28 Devastator: You have no powers and shit goes down around you.
23:01:17 Devastator: that's the idea, yeah.
23:01:29 Devastator: prompted from NGE, the idea of just being someone normal there.
23:01:33 NJW: Kaiju but they're just women of uncertain age in very impractical school uniforms
23:02:12 Devastator: Nah, I think that's been done.
23:03:02 NJW: I meant, that's how it would feel
23:05:51 Devastator: it wouldn't have to be NGE.
23:05:57 Devastator: what would the main plot be?
23:06:24 NJW: whatever is most destructive
23:06:34 ER: invasion for genric isekai world~
23:06:57 ER: probably combined with one or more other apocalypses
23:07:20 NJW: superhero resistance to alien collaborationist government?
23:08:08 ER: superheros and fighter pilots, who are somehow roughly equal in power and butt heads
23:08:59 ER: the superheroes are magical teens
23:09:09 ER: ALL the important people are magical teens
23:09:21 ER: some of them are just magical by happening to be really skilled or something
23:11:04 NJW: in research and government
23:14:22 NJW: you don't know any of them
23:14:54 ER: you go to the same school, though!
23:16:05 NJW: and it's really obvious which ones are vampires.
23:29:44 Devastator: could be all kinds of powers.
23:30:20 ER: I'm really not sure if you guys are screwed or about to get a break
23:30:41 ER: that's the trouble with pures, too proud to show if they're about to shatter!
23:35:17 NJW: welp, later than I intended to post it
23:35:39 NJW: tell me if it makes no sense or has errors
23:41:22 Devastator: not sure of a character.
23:41:57 NJW: well, better think fast, only 48 hours left
23:53:55 ER: "It probably isn't possible to have Archmage level in a non-magical skill"
23:54:23 ER: aww, so no cutting the ocean in half with a sword strike or suplexing a river?
23:54:43 Devastator: Nah, that'd be Nan's seduction checks. ;-p
23:55:10 ER: is Perception Affinity okay,
NJW?
23:56:51 Devastator: hmm, unrelated to magical skill.
23:59:42 NJW: um... like manipulating people's perceptions?
