00:20:24 ER: yeah, that looks like a problem
01:41:02 Devastator: I mean, those boulders will fall down.
03:02:15 Devastator: Oop, someone found out a bit about how calculators actually work.
03:03:51 Devastator: 12 minutes of a guy enthusiastically not answering the question.
03:05:55 Devastator: I'm mostly amused at someone knowing absolutely nothing about something yet explaining nonsense enthusiastically.
03:06:12 Devastator: I don't know. That guy doesn't know. And didn't find someone who does.
03:15:13 Devastator: it did lead to someone making a first-person game somewhat similar to that hyperbolic roguelike, though.
03:30:46 Devastator: oh my god, this is madness.
04:55:51 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:57:55 Devastator: well,
MJ was pushing for some movie watching.
04:58:05 Devastator: and you want pesters to distract you or to make you do it? ;-p
04:59:58 Devastator: watching parker do personal math videos.
05:00:05 Devastator: he blathers too much.
05:00:29 Devastator: the enthusiastic mostly bald guy on numberphile.
05:01:00 Devastator: needs someone editing him down to make good video. Think this will be the last one I watch.
05:01:06 Devastator: Also, found a madness video.
05:01:56 Devastator: oh, and talked to
syv about Revenant,
ER. We're going to be going in different directions. Okay if I blather about that one, or is it the one to avoid?
05:02:52 Devastator: might spitball powers to get with the one skill point with
MJ some.
05:03:22 Devastator: also trying to work out how an intelligent crow could try to open a window.
05:03:45 MidJag: And I mean I think it would need help, or like dive bomb rocks at the window to break it.
05:04:35 Devastator: but rocks can work.
05:05:21 MidJag: How does the window open? is it a top opening or side opennig one
05:06:13 Devastator: It might make me wish I'd taken strength after all. But we'll see.
05:06:25 Devastator: sneaking inside someone's house would be a good way to read books.
05:06:30 Devastator: or murder people who are sleeping.
05:08:16 Devastator: Sadly, humans are good at building residences intended to keep animals outside.
05:08:52 Devastator: Although Bird doesn't really need to worry about getting wounded or bleeding out.
05:08:59 Devastator: could try to smash windows. ;-p
05:09:19 ER: hmm, well you could probably shrug off the damage of crashing through the window, so just hold a rock to increase your mass and dive at it
05:09:40 Devastator: Well, should be fun.
05:09:53 Devastator: or I'll find some other way in, maybe. Chimney, say.
05:10:13 Devastator: or find like a big building and just fly in and hide.
05:10:37 Devastator: like if a library or something. They might want to get rid of the crow, but might not be able to do that.
05:12:15 Devastator: Chimney would be lovely, though. The homeowner would return to a house full of soot and books everywhere.
05:12:57 ER: you'll probably run into interesting things between where you are and the capital city
05:13:02 Devastator: A crow should be able to manage to move a candle and light a match.
05:13:21 Devastator: Yeah, I'm not against that, just speculating how bird can get inside building. I like exciting things, but I also like mundane stuff.
05:14:16 Devastator: but interesting things are interesting too.
05:20:08 Devastator: hmm. I wonder how good a roll the bird will need to make to get service in a resteraunt..
05:20:29 MidJag: I guess it depends on how well it tip
05:20:41 ER: I mean, people are unlikely to argue if you have money and can write
05:20:49 Devastator: gotta figure out how to carry stuff.
05:21:05 Devastator: foot talons aren't good for money.
05:21:09 ER: just invest a skill point in Storage~
05:21:15 Devastator: That's an idea, actually.
05:21:32 Devastator: having a hammerspace inventory would be really useful.
05:30:43 Devastator: although you can fit more down that gullet than expected.
05:30:48 MidJag has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
05:32:55 ER: that seagull halfway through is like "fuck, this hurts. oh well, too late to stop now."
05:34:07 Devastator: it'll probably have to walk back to its nest or sit down for a few hours.
05:37:59 Devastator: probably why I ran two games about them.
05:39:07 Devastator: well, can get more bird with a skill for that, or maybe just eat things and see if it can simulate digestion. ;-p
05:39:34 Devastator: I'm afraid I don't have a third bird game in the works.
05:41:03 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:41:05 Devastator: You know, in Incindia you might be able to find such waeapons or armour, if you sneak around.
05:41:52 Devastator: did you see the madness video?
05:47:02 MidJag: you right this is madness
05:48:15 MidJag: Mortasheen is apperently coming along, Bogleech has started revealing more about the game systek
05:49:25 MidJag: God, that effect it just crazy
05:56:34 Devastator: to be honest, the next skill for bird will probably depend on whatever bird runs into next. It'll be something I feel necessary.
05:56:53 Devastator: I'll spend all the skills if he makes it long enough to get a second level, assuming he doesn't get zapped by any angry wizards or something.
06:01:22 Devastator: we're all undead creatures freed at the end of the last war.
06:01:33 Devastator: There's some recurring villain from Tric's abaoned character.
06:04:54 Devastator: playing an undead crow with the ability to read.
06:05:02 Devastator: and eat brains for knowledge.
06:05:28 Devastator: goal is to be able to confront the wizard that killed it, and either win in a contest of brains or a contest in being a big nasty monster.
06:05:59 MidJag: I suppose the two won't be that dissimilar~
06:07:45 Devastator: most likely result I think is winning both simultaneously.
06:08:25 Devastator: be smart enough to win, but not by a lot, and be a person-sized crow monster with either magic powers or the ability to beat up a wizard.
06:12:02 Devastator: tough part might be talking around wizard culture to admit a bird monster.
06:14:58 Devastator: Because, you know, going to eat a few wizard brains if possible.
06:17:23 MidJag: How do you open up a skull as a crow?
06:20:00 Devastator: Traditional route is through the eyeballs.
06:20:06 Devastator: because the skull is thin there.
06:20:18 Devastator: shouldn't be a problem for an abnormally fit crow zombie.
06:23:58 Devastator: I mean, there are lots of problems.
06:24:02 Devastator: but the skull isn't one.
06:25:10 MidJag: True, I mean first you have to kill a human as a crow...or I suppose find a dead human who no one seems to mind a crow eating the brain of.
06:25:39 ER: and which isn't already walking around and trying to survive
06:25:52 ER: because, you know, dead rising
06:29:52 Devastator: oh god, if that's happening to everything that dies, going to be interesting.
06:30:34 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:30:45 Devastator: ..yeah, if that's happening gotta get more killy. Make them stay down.
06:31:00 ER: not "everything that dies", as you saw things were reanimating which died before the event
06:35:17 Devastator: hmm, yeah, might have to concentrate on killing.
06:35:23 Devastator: unless the living can handle it.
06:35:32 Devastator: which they probably can, but this might be some zombieland for a while.
06:37:11 Devastator: eh, can probably wait some time, but.. yeah.
06:37:51 Devastator: oh, did you see the madness video,
syv?
06:39:07 ER: well, it's kind of a tradeoff for the world
06:39:34 Devastator: no necrolord, yes lots of rising undead?
06:39:39 ER: no more monomanical immortal mad scientist trying to take over the world
06:40:19 Devastator: well, there will probably be some equilibrum established eventually. I can't see every dead thing rising forever, like LA Ermor freespawn.
06:40:19 ER: instead all of the energy which was going towards keeping him around is free to just wander and settle across the earth
06:41:03 ER: that force MIGHT actually be more dangerous without anyone at the helm, but it'll certainly also be less concentrated and less organized
06:41:35 syv: Seems like it was just a guy who didn't understand something, but was making an explanation video anyway.
06:41:45 syv: Seemed more based on humor, anyway/
06:42:57 ER: it's sort of silly, in this game I have to put the speech of biological people in [/tt] [tt]
06:43:19 ER: because the players are all robots and the normal descriptive text is in [tt]
06:44:23 syv: Or is it something aside from Revenant?
06:44:40 ER: nah, it's the multiverse thing
06:45:16 ER: in revenant you're all revenants, which are totally a different thing from robots~
06:46:22 Devastator: umm, that wasn't the madness video,
syv.
06:46:58 ER: I don't know why you're so fixated on that video,
dev
06:48:13 MidJag: It is an intresting video
06:48:16 Devastator: because
syv watched the wrong one.
06:48:21 syv: I've already seen that guy's stuff.
06:48:31 MidJag: Also holy fuck how is it like 1AM now.
06:49:50 MidJag: Time only moves when you do.
06:50:22 syv: Provably false, or I'd still be fifteen.
06:50:50 MidJag: I'd probably be like 65 if time moved when I did. I like moveing.
06:52:49 Devastator: time, how does it work.
06:52:59 Devastator: do you have a torrent for that movie,
MJ? Can watch tomorrow.
06:55:19 ER: great, I updated. what the hell am I supposed to do now-
06:59:35 ER: updated mechal,
dev. though you didn't really get to do anything this turn
07:00:10 ER: can always throw things at you but I'd rather limit the tossing to one player per turn :p
07:01:25 Devastator: I don't think I was doing anything, so..
07:01:27 Devastator: sounds about right.
07:01:38 Devastator: besides, with no multiverse shenanigans in multiverse, not expecting much.
07:02:23 ER: hah, doesn't mean I can't toss that stuff at you
07:02:36 Devastator: Stuff will come around or it won't.
07:02:39 ER: not that I'm paying enough attention to the other worlds
07:02:42 Devastator: I was in jail for two real-life years.
07:02:49 Devastator: well, in-game jail.
07:02:58 Devastator: I can handle a few updates about boxes.
07:04:24 syv: Yeah, I thought you just admitted being imprisoned IRL
07:05:47 Devastator: No, I have no criminal record.
07:05:54 Devastator: or have ever been imprisoned.
07:06:28 ER: well what IS your backstory then
07:07:24 Devastator: I'm from where it gets cold.
07:07:32 Devastator: and am old compared to you whippersnappers.
07:09:40 Devastator: I've been a brushcutter, but not a lumberjack.
07:15:32 MidJag: What is a brushcutter in this case?
07:16:41 Devastator: someone who cuts brush in a woodlot before planting or after planting.
07:18:01 syv: I just recall you once telling me you were something like a lumberjack, and refusing to expound.
07:18:55 Devastator: yeah, I've worked in the bush.
07:23:00 Devastator: huh, that robot guy did one on those little wooden derby cars.
07:23:06 Devastator: I had a champion one once.
07:23:50 MidJag: I did wooden derby cars for boy scouts. I was okay at them, I always liked desiging them more for asthetics then anything else.
07:25:03 Devastator: I had one that just missed qualifying for the provincial championships.
07:25:19 Devastator: looking at the vid, it was because it was cut down and the drill points for weight were way back.
07:26:10 Devastator: yeah. Second best one in the city, got something like fifth for the northern half of the province.
07:27:15 syv: Construction of toy cars for racing competition.
07:28:10 Devastator: Just lucked out, really. I didn't know anything.
07:28:46 Devastator: So glad youtube didn't exist back then.
07:32:44 Devastator: I brought that same one back the next year, and even without the weight in it (and it had a lot of extra weight added to make it match), it would have won locally. The one I made for the following year was crap.
07:33:53 Devastator: basically I had everything going for me that he put in the video. Which is weird.
07:34:22 Devastator: well, other than a polishing compound for the nails, I had high-grit sandpaper but nothing better.
07:37:52 Devastator: also I didn't do the alignment stuff he finishes off with. The nails might have been bent a bit, but I don't remember.
07:38:43 Devastator: back in the day they added weights by drilling holes in it and pouring in lead.
07:38:54 Devastator: although it might have been tin.
07:39:11 MidJag: Heh, I really hope it was tin.
07:39:24 Devastator: Man, back in the day there was lead all over.
07:42:00 Devastator: it was actually pretty sophisticated for the regionals. They did them in the middle of the shopping mall, around the first week of december. Tons and tons of people there, and they had electronic timing setups aand everything.
07:45:20 Devastator: no, actually, that was backwards. That was at the district level with the regionals just being in the basement of the Y next month with basically just the participants and their families.
07:45:47 Devastator: anyway enough boring stories from my misbegotten youth.
07:46:17 Devastator: except those stories are kinda the opposite.
07:46:36 Devastator: 'stories from the incredibly boring youth of local well-behaved child.'
07:47:51 MidJag: Pretty much all of my stories from my youth are pretty boring, The stories from college are more intresting.
07:51:39 MidJag: I was a variablly good kid.
07:54:11 Devastator: well, if you survived and had fun, it's okay.
07:54:16 Devastator: and made some good memories.
08:01:23 MidJag: well I should go to bed

21:38:56 Devastator: the main difficulty in Automation is that the vehicle forecaster might as well be drunk.
21:39:06 Devastator: it's useless. You have to make your estimates on your own.
