05:03:42 Devastator: you know, supernerd has done almost the exact same kind of multiworld game before.
05:03:45 Devastator: or maybe it was someone else..
05:39:01 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:43:28 Devastator: had my car stolen the other day.
05:43:39 Devastator: sorted through the stuff.
05:44:19 MidJag: Damn, that's horrible, sorry to hear that.
05:44:31 Devastator: Not that big a deal.
05:54:12 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:54:49 MidJag: well that sucks
dev. Hope it turns up
05:55:08 Devastator: probably gone by now
05:55:23 syv: What sucks on
Dev? Why is something turning up?
05:57:56 Devastator: what was the title of that horror film again/
05:58:28 syv: I try and make things sound lewd, and you shoot me down.
06:15:46 Devastator: Also, Saeko prevented the city from crashing into the planet, amazingly.
06:16:48 Devastator: mmm, that's unsurprising.
06:25:40 MidJag: Hmm, well I appear to have fixed my sleep schedule
06:26:36 syv: Translation: you're sleepy
06:27:34 MidJag: I mean I also woke up early today, so it makes sense I suppose
06:34:42 MidJag: Hmm, I just realizied now that bidens like actually president SNL will actually have to try to be funny now~
06:35:42 Devastator: although they have the reflexive morons to work with.
06:35:53 Devastator: Also, apparently it took only like 12 hours to have a national covid strategy.
06:37:56 MidJag: Which is a bit odd, but eh.
06:38:41 Devastator: They had zero to start with, but not like zero information.
06:38:58 Devastator: so they likely had a strong idea of what they were going to do on that.
06:39:27 MidJag: More just that it only takes twelve hours with hte same degree of informaiton as the previous administration
06:40:44 syv: Previous administration was actively hindering the fight against covid.
06:40:59 Devastator: it was try to make as many people sick as possible.
06:41:19 MidJag: Like there is a point where you'd think that like eventually you'd havea. decent plan by luck
06:41:42 Devastator: as in, deliberately bad.
06:43:05 MidJag: I think your misunderstanding me, I know it was deliberate, I'm saying that eventually, by sheer random chance and eternally fucking up you'd eventually tumble into a competnet plan....I'm explaining my half joke poorly, but eh.
06:43:26 syv: I don't think they were fucking up.
06:43:47 Devastator: you don't accidently do the right thing.
06:43:53 syv: More of a crisis, and more panic to leverage for influence and power, was specifically what they wanted.
06:44:30 syv: I don't think Trump was fucking up, Trump knew there would be damage, and wanted there to be damage.
06:44:36 Devastator: There were some of that. Lots of 'lets pick this one thing so we can claim to be geniuses if it works, while making money off it.'
06:44:53 Devastator: but beyond that, it was essentially trying to kill as many americans as possible.
06:44:55 MidJag: I think Trump just didn't consider there being damage, or at least he wanted to ignore damage until after election.
06:45:11 MidJag: Similar idea, but different exectuion.
06:45:19 Devastator: Nah,
MJ, the damage didn't matter to him. It wasn't negative at all.
06:45:47 MidJag: I would disagree, this whole things been incomptent, but most of Trumps base doesn't care about COVID.
06:46:12 MidJag: And thus it's not like they were panicked into supporting him, and the rest of the country thought he was handling it poorly.
06:46:29 Devastator: They cared about covid.
06:46:42 Devastator: they cared until they were deliberately and consistantly told to ignore it.
06:46:48 Devastator: over and over and over again.
06:47:50 Devastator: and told a mixture of outright lies about it, along with lying and stating how taking any action to prevent it would destroy their livelihoods.
06:48:18 Devastator: It was used as a tool to try and damage America.
06:48:35 MidJag: Right that's what I'm saying. He wanted to just ignore it and hope it went away and thus not have to take an hard actions that could hurt his popularity with his base.
06:48:45 Devastator: He never would have done anything positive.
06:48:50 Devastator: and he couldn't have done anything positive.
06:48:50 syv: I remember this talking about republicans, hrm.
06:48:59 syv: Apparently not. Probably some other article.
06:49:23 Devastator: so went with lets convince people that our inaction is right.
06:50:24 Devastator: that was 'how much are you worried about it.'
06:50:39 syv: I also recall that he was briefed about covid definitely being lethal and definitely being a problem.
06:51:03 MidJag: yeah, I know, Trumps a narrisitic moron.
06:51:29 syv: I personally just don't believe he's *so* moronic as to think that briefing was lies.
06:52:03 syv: I think he knew it was true and weighed it and decided letting it get bad was better.
06:52:07 Devastator: was interviewed on it.
06:52:18 Devastator: Woodward had it in quotes.
06:52:36 MidJag: I'm not saying he did any part of this right, I'm just stunned he did it so bad that it only takes like 12 hours of semi competent leadership to come up with a decent plan.
06:52:45 Devastator: Yeah he knew it was bad, and then decided that the issue was that he was surrounded by people who told him it was bad. So found new people.
06:53:17 MidJag: Right, that's what I'm saying
06:53:27 Devastator: Biden's got issues, but 'semi-competent leadership' is below his skills, btw.
06:53:52 Devastator: The president of the united states has a huge amount of skill and possible expertise to tap.
06:54:14 Devastator: and one thing Biden is really good at is finding experts and policy workers to work with.
06:54:25 Devastator: so nah, they probably had half of it in place already.
06:54:39 Devastator: Really, remember Ebola.
06:55:09 Devastator: it took Obama one day to have accurate, effective briefings on that, along with accurate knowledge about what to do and options available to him.
06:55:24 Devastator: That's what should be expected, not this Trump-style utter incompetence.
06:56:07 Devastator: One of the jobs was to lower expectations into the ground.
06:56:48 Devastator: it's why the anti-democrat stuff is continually, relentlessly negative with no actual policy, direction, etcetera. Because that can be used to lower expectations, which lets you get away with more.
06:57:48 Devastator: "But they're all shit!" is the cry of the shithole who doesn't want to be held accountable, not someone who wants to actually lead.
06:58:30 MidJag: ...That's actually a really good point
dev
06:58:48 Devastator: Yes. If you expect nothing, you will get nothing.
06:59:03 MidJag: Oh hey do you guys want to watch me stream that rougelike?
07:00:15 syv: Holy shit they're gonna make an *actual* girls frontline anime!
07:00:30 syv: I wonder if I'll be able to watch it without clawing my face off.
07:00:58 MidJag: I still haven't gotten drunk enough to watch the "Watch" so I'm gonna go with maybe.
07:01:45 MidJag: Rember that terrible discworld adaptatoin I was telling you about a while ago?
07:01:48 MidJag: It apperentlly came out.
07:02:31 MidJag: I was offering it as an example of a terrible adaptation of series I like and have yet to watch
07:04:58 MidJag: So
syv thoughts on watching a stream of that rougelike?
07:05:27 syv: Probablt not, but I might open it and let it run in the background?
07:12:42 MidJag: Alright, getting everything set up]
07:15:43 syv: Your channel has one clipped video on it.
07:16:00 syv: It's a laggy video of Slay the Spire
07:16:16 MidJag: I don't rember clipping anything
07:16:26 syv: And crispy-smooth audio of you slamming something, then saying "Damn it."
07:16:38 syv: "Well, it was a good run,
Dev."
07:16:57 syv: And yeah, you're quite audible now.
07:17:43 syv: "Yes, that was where I realized being drunk makes me bad at tactical decisions"
07:17:45 Devastator: it's a fucking roguelike.
07:18:15 syv: Read their dialogue with funny voices!
07:20:14 Devastator: ugh, animations. ;-p
07:20:30 Devastator: also onscreen controls.
07:20:47 syv: "Anything made after 1985"
07:21:06 Devastator: Alleg was released Q1 2000.
07:21:24 syv: Insert nya into its speech
07:22:07 syv: I actually just burst out cackling
07:22:15 syv: Almost fell out of my chair
07:23:21 Devastator: mmm, so game has a low time to crate
07:24:30 Devastator: pretty standard for roguelikes to reward full exploration.
07:24:39 Devastator: would you prefer the stuff to be just on the floor, then?
07:25:03 Devastator: is there an actual bonus for 100% crate smashing?
07:25:05 syv: I played it a bit, and I think a bigger problem is just the sheer amount of junk.
07:25:10 Devastator: ahh, yeah, I can see that.
07:25:18 syv: Also, there's no currency. Junk IS your currency.
07:25:24 syv: You have to sell it to the cat.
07:25:32 Devastator: could just do junk drops, too.
07:25:44 Devastator: mmm, I'm getting the gist of it.
07:25:51 Devastator: I see the autowalk.
07:26:01 Devastator: What was that one about combat robots?
07:26:21 Devastator: fucking hell, I think I paid for that one.
07:26:21 syv: I think the potions are all also random.
07:26:37 syv: "This potion gives you -1 stealth for five turns"
07:27:04 Devastator: stone soup is pretty modest in junk quantity, too.
07:27:16 Devastator: I see you're back to the imp.
07:27:31 Devastator: plus no selling in stone soup.
07:29:33 Devastator: like FFV Job classes.
07:31:04 Devastator: a flying shield seems like it should have a significantly reduced number of equipment slots.
07:32:04 Devastator: must be like Trence.
07:32:13 Devastator: still has his spear. ;-p
07:32:46 Devastator: he hasn't changed equipment in dragon form yet, while someone's watching. That'll be weird.
07:32:53 Devastator: but you picked up a damaging potion earlier.
07:37:39 Devastator: understandable decision.
07:38:42 Devastator: no wear-id in the junk-filled roguelike.
07:38:46 Devastator: you'd be there forever.
07:42:39 Devastator: so only the imp heals.
07:42:41 Devastator: and that does seem nice.
07:45:24 Devastator: pillardancing without a pillar.
07:45:47 Devastator: to reduce shopkeep killing potential?
07:46:50 Devastator: There has to be a pass.
07:53:44 Devastator: 5 with numpad controls is standard.
07:53:54 Devastator: but I can see that.
07:58:27 Devastator: "from their wooden prisons"
07:59:00 Devastator: literally one more?
07:59:23 Devastator: ooh, penalties into bonuses.
08:01:54 Devastator: no, don't explore when running.
08:02:31 Devastator: yeah, you know the generation better than I do.
08:02:40 Devastator: what's the point in levelling up Imp Form?
08:04:31 Devastator: don't forget the next fish reward.
08:05:24 Devastator: looks better when you build for it.
08:05:28 Devastator: and don't have resolution issues.
08:07:42 Devastator: Also, mistaken writing.
08:07:54 Devastator: 'Since we have last met, thou hast saved 280 of my people'
08:08:11 Devastator: nah, last time it was 269, so you've saved 11 since the two of you last met.
08:08:32 Devastator: it probably saves up anyway.
08:11:23 Devastator: anything to holy water?
08:12:33 Devastator: just want woof to get to attack something.
08:12:55 Devastator: where's the fun in being a car-sized giant wolf if you don't get to attack things with it. ;-p
08:13:23 Devastator: Extended graphics adapter.
08:14:22 Devastator: or orange on black?
08:15:25 Devastator: nah, I don't think it could handle green and black.
08:15:29 Devastator: this is 4-colour CGA.
08:18:11 syv: I'm not gone, just not paying attention.
08:18:23 syv: Ans I heard Jaggers say he was going to bed.
08:20:56 syv: Currently playing Spiderman.
08:21:26 syv: In a public race server running a fairly hard endurance race.
08:21:39 syv: Thanks for the voicing,
MJ.
08:21:42 MidJag: Thanks for being an audience to my terrible voice impressions~

10:27:47 Devastator: Yeah, so use magic to do it with magic.
10:28:02 Devastator: like you can't magic up throwing something to the moon?
10:28:21 Devastator: or something to a ridiculous over the top level
10:33:32 Devastator: like the Galactic Princess Buster.
11:28:40 ER: my primative software cannot display that
