02:19:12 Devastator: I'm going to have to do a map for Extinction.
02:19:17 Devastator: the whole western continent.
02:19:25 Devastator: well, hopefully it won't come.
02:19:43 Devastator: yeah, once you're in Tulia, it'll be time for it. I need a full map to explain the stiuation.
02:20:03 Devastator: and Uncle, curse my decisions, has maps to everywhere.
02:21:38 Devastator: but basically they're going to have to attack, and it's probably the best place to fight them, so..

02:40:14 ER: seems that
paris ends up on that name somehow
02:41:09 syv: Darkmyst renames you if you don't identify to a nick properly.
02:41:31 syv: Like if you try to name yourself
syv, you'll be made into a guest.
02:42:46 Devastator:
paris bounced into himself, probably.
02:42:51 Devastator: thought he'd dropped, but he hasn't.
02:47:31 ER: main stats in this system are Shade, Determination, Fashion, Sexiness, and Instinct.
02:48:27 ER: but not sure if I'll keep Shade, since the current idea is that it gives you points to spend on powers, but now I want to give you seperate point pools for attributes, skills, and powers.
02:48:50 ER: hmm, four core attributes might be enough?
02:51:50 ER: fashion is the quality of your clothes, and gives you pockets and protection
02:52:11 ER: sexiness is the quality of your body, and used for body stuff and getting people to follow you
02:52:52 syv: So plaid cargo plate is high fashion?
02:53:49 ER: if it has enough belts on it, yes
02:54:26 syv: Make your system, I'll break it when it's solid.
02:59:18 Devastator: yeah, a fashion stat for a DMC-based game is relevant.
02:59:44 ER: I mean, not specifically DMC
03:00:00 ER: but it is a rich vein of edgy halfdemon fighters~
03:04:48 Devastator: Those do seem like DMC stats.
04:06:52 ER has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
04:21:40 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:28:16 MidJag: Not bad, had a weird meeting with an admin about a program I'm applying to.
04:29:02 MidJag: Yeah, so it turns out the program is like super new, like their first class just graduated last year kinda new.
04:29:15 MidJag: But I would have essentialy shoe in odds for getting in.
04:31:13 Devastator: apparently someone broke march madness this year.
04:31:36 Devastator: several underdogs won.
04:32:24 MidJag: One of those underdogs was actually the college who's admin I talked to.
04:45:37 MidJag: But yeah, the progrma is weird, I have no idea what people think of them as reasechers..mostly cause literally none of them are working as indenpendet people yet.
04:46:40 MidJag: Yeah, it's a DO/PhD program, rather then an MD/PhD program. So like it's probably fine? But I have no idea.
04:49:12 MidJag: And DO's hisotrically don't do more reaserch, as they typically are more clincians, and this new program is essentially an attempt to become more well known in reaserch, it's just I don't know if it works
04:53:17 MidJag: and the even weirder thing about the DO stuff is that there's a chance that by the time I get my degree in like 7-8ish years, that DO programs could just get changed over to MD degrees, making any distcition pointless.
04:54:54 MidJag: Ah well, it'll get worked out, it's just gonna be a complete mess for a few months while I apply and wait to hear back from things.
04:57:07 MidJag: In a classic
MJ problem this whole thing is just weird and seems to involve an odd amount of luck.
05:01:57 MidJag: Oh hey want to watch me stream something?
syv?
05:17:46 MidJag: Have you seen the giant cargo ship stuck in the suez canal?
05:18:40 Devastator: sandstorm blew one sideways.
05:18:45 MidJag: It's causing what is possibly the worlds most expensive traffic jam, and it's kinda amazing in just a sheer madness way.
05:21:18 MidJag: Jesus, one of my professors emailed me back at 11PM. Does she sleep?
05:23:22 MidJag:
Dev would you like to watch anything specific?
05:24:24 MidJag: I could play celsete and thus let you watch me horrirbly fail at platformers
05:25:53 Devastator: although I'm not a fan of Celeste.
05:28:19 Devastator: I think that was last time.
05:28:29 MidJag: Hmm, you might be right
05:28:46 Devastator: sure Celeste if you want to play it.
05:33:00 MidJag: One day, I'm going to actually learn how this streaming software works
05:36:25 MidJag: lemme know when your watchin
05:37:32 Devastator: looks around 4 FPS.
05:38:09 MidJag: It says it's streaming at 30FPS as the setting I have?
05:38:26 MidJag: and it's smooth on my end
05:38:34 MidJag: Maybe it's my internet?
05:39:06 Devastator: yeah, does it show you dropping frames?
05:39:29 MidJag: So one the game no, the OBS is showing it yes
05:40:00 Devastator: yeah, game is probably running full speed. Internet then.
05:40:22 MidJag: Well is it watchable at all or not really
05:40:33 Devastator: eh, I can watch it.
05:40:54 Devastator: also, that's some keyboard.
05:40:56 Devastator: did you get a new one?
05:41:32 Devastator: you know how loud mine is.
05:42:01 Devastator: yours is a noisy rubber dome thingy.
05:42:10 Devastator: if you're uploading something big, that'll do it.
05:42:15 Devastator: might want to turn your torrent client out.
05:43:05 Devastator: just suggesting it, because sometimes that uploads when you aren't expecting it.
05:43:43 Devastator: ahh, celeste, the heroine with more hair than Nan.
05:44:07 Devastator: it's good for mechanics, you need a momentum indicator.
05:44:11 Devastator: it's fine, can keep up with it.
05:46:36 Devastator: I know there's a fast start option for speedrunning.
05:46:48 Devastator: just get on with it.
05:47:00 Devastator: bip. beep. beeeeep. beeeeeep.
05:47:33 Devastator: (the countdown clock from Worms: armageddon.)
05:48:16 Devastator: bip. bip. beep. beeeeep. beeeeeep. One of the voice packs starts the timer with 'get on with it.'
05:48:39 Devastator: more 'get on wit it'
05:50:00 Devastator: seems like it'd be more interesting.
05:50:39 Devastator: "My personal problems have physical manifestations."
05:50:48 Devastator: "It's why I have all this hair."
05:51:03 Devastator: but no, looks like no failure, just go to start.
05:51:19 Devastator: That'd be some witch,
syv.
05:51:54 Devastator: "I drank so much I no longer need to breathe."
05:52:12 Devastator: get the box to lift you up?
05:52:54 Devastator: you're one of the Eight Drunken Gods?
05:52:59 Devastator: we should watch that, actually.
05:53:39 Devastator: was referring to Jackie Chan's Drunken Master.
05:54:15 Devastator: I haven't either, but I think we could watch some of his stuff.
05:54:51 Devastator: 'man hits things in funny way.'
05:55:15 Devastator: $10 says it's Rush Hour 2.
05:55:49 Devastator: well, there are periods and such, just suggesting that one because that one was on TV repeats for decades.
05:57:07 Devastator: next time, avoid the spikes.
05:58:54 Devastator: you send the box left.
05:59:48 Devastator: or right then up, then left, just 3 steps.
06:00:17 Devastator: nah, up immediately after it hits the right wall.
06:00:39 Devastator: no, don't wait for the middle, right, then up after the wall. Jump left, then send it left.
06:01:38 Devastator: go right, then up, then left. right then up so it ends up in the corner.
06:02:12 Devastator: hmm, is there not enough time?
06:02:15 Devastator: I didn't know that.
06:02:58 Devastator: celeste isn't about the intended way.
06:03:58 Devastator: ouch, almost one shotted that.
06:06:23 Devastator: so what are you doing today?
06:06:39 Devastator: "turning myself into a glowy light with the use of a magic feather a few hundred times."
06:06:54 Devastator: could check that corner.
06:07:16 Devastator: ahh, rock can't smash into it?
06:08:29 Devastator: she has dash because she's a magical girl.
06:09:09 Devastator: needs a costume, though.
06:09:11 Devastator: that's pretty plain.
06:09:56 Devastator: that said, it does change colours.
06:10:43 Devastator: and she does have physical manifestations of her internal problems.
06:11:20 Devastator: yeah, you can, you jumplaunch yourself. ;-p
06:13:16 Devastator: don't kil yourself after the end of the room.
06:14:13 Devastator: you're actually pretty good at the game?
06:16:10 Devastator: looks like two alternate paths.
06:16:17 Devastator: or you mean this room?
06:18:40 Devastator: Eh, don't we have Netflix Furries in 2021 to watch first?
06:18:55 Devastator: but okay, The Watch being god-awful.
06:19:27 Devastator: sometimes bad stuff is just waaaay too bad.
06:22:11 Devastator: would have been a nice save too.
06:23:13 Devastator: eh, it'll be mad science or something.
06:23:20 Devastator: but might be something neat.
06:23:30 Devastator: there's some originality, by having them not be full-time furries.
06:24:08 Devastator: the splosion wizard.
06:24:20 Devastator: and you skipped a feather.
06:24:40 Devastator: for exploding something?
06:25:17 Devastator: proper GM fun that.
06:25:30 Devastator: oh, I broke someone with that bird I made for the RP game, the one that's a rough copy of the one in
ER's game.
06:27:44 Devastator: ahh, was just storing his explosions in there.
06:27:47 Devastator: something set them off.
06:29:34 Devastator: there are people after him.
06:30:39 Devastator: oh, Drachinifel the navy guy had the most inexplicable naval disaster survivor of all time. HMS Invincible blew up from a magazine explosion when Q turret was hit. There were six survivors.. five who were at the top of the forward mast, and one who was.. inside Q turret.
06:31:03 Devastator: Nobody has any idea.
06:31:19 Devastator: Woke up in the water.
06:31:45 Devastator: he was in the direction finder, which technically was on top of the turret.
06:31:52 Devastator: so apparenlty he must have rode the exploding magazine.
06:32:02 Devastator: well, inside the turret, but in an upper area.
06:32:26 Devastator: must have been the luckiest guy of all time.
06:33:07 Devastator: I think that segment was in one of his recent drydocks.
06:33:38 Devastator: someone asked him about the luciest survivor.
06:33:50 Devastator: he mentioned the turret person by name.
06:34:02 Devastator: I'll find it if you want, he had a picture of invincible blowing up.
06:36:17 Devastator: guy was named "Brian Gasson"
06:38:18 Devastator: for celeste? The gameplay isn't quite ideal for my hands, and it's striding the line between narrative and pure gameplay.
06:39:18 Devastator: she is a magical girl.
06:39:30 Devastator: I know
syv would allow laser-style manabolts.
06:40:07 Devastator: still not sure if alida should get some level of manabolt, or just concentrate on melee.
06:40:35 Devastator: gonna ask a mobster for one.
06:40:40 Devastator: but can't really use gun as woof.
06:41:29 Devastator: well, that's one of the morals of celeste.
06:41:34 Devastator: don't be good, just keep trying. ;-p
06:42:07 Devastator: to be honest, I think I just feel celest isn't that special, it's just the one that got the attention.
06:42:38 Devastator: some platformer was going to hit it big, and there were like fifteen of them in the few years leading up to celeste. It was the one that won out, and in some ways it was better, but not all ways.
06:43:47 Devastator: you've memorized the bad result.
06:43:53 Devastator: and muscle memory is a bitch and a half.
06:44:53 Devastator: and yeah, probably right.
06:45:07 Devastator: manabolts are cooler than guns, but guns are way better than low level manabolt.
06:45:53 Devastator: I once died and not-died in a sierra adventure game long ago.
06:46:03 Devastator: crashed it with a message 'you did something we didn't think of.'
06:47:16 Devastator: they missed a greater than or equals to, or had an equals to on both sides, and I wa cheking what pixel a safe splash in water turns into a crunch on a rock.
06:47:28 Devastator: turned out one pixel it isn't.
06:48:03 Devastator: should I talk about crow?
06:48:49 Devastator: basically, GM wanted a testgame to see how a sort of choose what happens sequence goes.
06:49:21 Devastator: "okay, for this mission you're supposed to sneak a bomb into this base and blow this thing up."
06:49:36 Devastator: "My character is a crow that has hammerspace inventory."
06:49:41 Devastator: "Can I just do it?"
06:49:49 Devastator: "With max deterity and intelligence."
06:50:03 Devastator: Not more than the ordinary zombies do in that way.
06:50:17 Devastator: But yeah, basically trivialized the entire mission.
06:50:25 Devastator: then decided to go back and check what the patrol encounter would have went.
06:51:03 Devastator: I mean, it's like the ideal character to do the mission.
06:51:26 syv: Gun is also just more optimal than manabolt.
06:51:29 Devastator: Patrol encounter: Okay, do you attack first to give your buddy an even chance, or do you distract them, or do you try to grab the package off before your partner is searched?
06:51:39 syv: You can CC while using a gun. Dual wield club and pistol.
06:51:49 syv: Hell, dual wield club and M249.
06:52:05 Devastator: <checks character sheet, has a magic disarming power, and a magic protective barrier, and magic hammerspace..>
06:52:13 Devastator: Uhh.. which one of these do you want?
06:52:36 Devastator: and it was like tuned perfectly for the situation where you're facing down two guys with guns.
06:52:46 Devastator: Yes, but it wasn't the relevant one for this situation. ;-p
06:53:04 Devastator: anyway, after that it was like "Well, you're screwed, because you're supposed to interact with people for the next step.
06:53:11 Devastator: you eat brains, you get to know some stuff they knew.
06:53:20 Devastator: "Oh, what do you have to do?"
06:53:37 Devastator: "Well, you have to keep some people from being next to the explosion."
06:53:49 syv: ...Also guns are cooler than manabolts. Unless you use them in wolf form, by barking.
06:54:02 Devastator: and yeah, that was the considereation,
syv.
06:54:25 Devastator: "Crow is a zombie undead that can engulf people into hammerspace. I can just scare them away for like, five minutes. All good."
06:54:27 syv: Spec into Joy and take resounding echoes.
06:54:35 Devastator: yeah, RE would be sweet.
06:54:40 syv: "And the wolf huffed, and puffed, and blew the house down"
06:54:44 Devastator: took DWR. Not sure if that was the right choice.
06:55:09 Devastator: so yeah, broke the GM, really by literally having powers that trivialized the entire scenario, from first to last. ;-p
06:55:30 Devastator: I don't know, she's super strong, right? how hard can she blow?
06:55:47 Devastator: (but yeah, mouth lasers are standard)
06:56:12 syv: RE admittedly might've been better simply on account of being secondary.
06:56:25 Devastator: It's good, just not much into music.
06:56:29 Devastator: it's very soon,
MJ.
06:57:11 Devastator: RE would have been very good.
06:57:23 Devastator: I may end up taking that when she goes Joy.
06:57:29 Devastator: which I think will unlock after this witch.
06:57:55 Devastator: gun is very useful, but it also is hard to imagine having enough gun to match say a finale bolt.
06:58:26 Devastator: I mean, yeah, CC, but have to CC the whole way because Alida can't carry 50 pounds worth of gun and ammo.
06:58:38 Devastator: and that's not always an option.
06:59:04 syv: L18 currently, so yeah. Two levels of bravery, and then another two of Bravery or Joy.
06:59:12 syv: Plus whatever levels you steal from the witch.
06:59:34 Devastator: what was the other skilled?
06:59:53 syv: Which doesn't seem your style.
07:00:29 Devastator: There is mercy/brave synergy.
07:00:34 Devastator: but yeah, joy seems more likely.
07:01:21 syv: Both passives nave anti-synergy.
07:01:25 Devastator: RE + woof would be an insane combo.
07:01:43 syv: I might change Heal and Steel to make attacks roll as if talented, rather than roll off Mercy.
07:01:50 Devastator: just heal other people.
07:02:00 syv: That way it's not a *debuff* if you spec into it from another class.
07:02:31 Devastator: mmm, yeah, that's a point.
07:03:09 Devastator: Ahh, the anti-synergy is you can't heal yourself when you're berzerk, it'll make you weaker.
07:03:50 syv: Bers doesn't want heals, H&S debuffs your attacks while buffing the heals you don't want to use.
07:03:50 Devastator: I also remember saying there's a serious quality of life issue if you have painless 3, berzerker 3, and just rip your heart out permanently to be much stronger. ;-p
07:04:24 Devastator: I'm assuming other than 'you break everything you touch, you monster.' ;-p
07:05:09 Devastator: I do know someone IRL who had issues that way. He's just break so much stuff by mistake because he was too strong.
07:06:19 syv: Except it's worse, since Bers doesn't make you stronger, it just makes your attacks more damaging.
07:06:45 syv: So yeah, permanently being dead would mean you'd accidentally break stuff. It'd feel like everything's fragile.
07:06:46 Devastator: well, you wouldn't break stuff by accident at least.
07:07:18 Devastator: "BEAT YOUR INSINCERITIES INTO SUBMISSION WITH THE POWER OF DASH JUMPS.
07:07:40 Devastator: it's nice, but agg, sometimes it's not easy like that.
07:08:09 Devastator: ..did you not know?
07:08:33 Devastator: Huh, this is very good for a first playthrough.
07:08:43 Devastator: no, you get a second dash for that boss.
07:09:44 Devastator: mmm, so it means you break stuff by accident, but don't get to enjoy super-strength.
07:09:58 Devastator: next question, how does Theo get up here? ;-p
07:10:42 syv: Being meguca is suffering,
Dev.
07:10:55 Devastator: well, alida would love super-strength, but the fun version. ;-p
07:11:05 Devastator: maybe trying to carry 50 pounds of gun would help with that.
07:11:25 Devastator: It's a long section.
07:11:31 Devastator: probably be a qhile.
07:15:22 Devastator: mmm, well, wouldn't give up woof for it, but self-delusion alida would be amusing that way.
07:15:38 Devastator: well, you've been playing with the dash mechanic for how long?
07:15:51 Devastator: but yes, this is very good for a first playthrough.
07:16:17 Devastator: 3800 i s still good.
07:16:45 Devastator: lemme know when you're up for netflix furries while altered.
07:17:30 MidJag: I'll probably be around like later tonight, hopefully I wont just fuck myself and pass out early
07:18:04 Devastator: could be 'later tonight'
07:19:20 Devastator: I hope that show isn't horrible.
07:19:29 Devastator: don't want to press you guys into watching something really bad.
07:21:15 Devastator:
MJ is doing very well for a first run through Celeste.
07:21:32 Devastator: I thought it was like a third run or so.
07:31:15 syv: I find it hilarious that you're worried you'd be pushing us.
07:31:26 syv: Considering
MJ and I pushed the show initially.
07:38:26 Devastator: just.. it's got some interesting stuff and a bunch of red flags. And I don't know anything about it.
07:40:48 Devastator: always get worried about stuff like that.
07:40:55 syv: Apparently Studio Ghibli made a movie about Tanuki.
07:41:03 syv: It heavily features shapeshifting ballsacks.
07:42:59 Devastator: I was aware of that, actually.
07:43:03 Devastator: not the movie, but that.
07:56:31 Devastator: yes, magnificent would be the word for that.

10:34:40 syv: Tempted to ask if that means you'd be willing to play that with me tomorrow night, but then I'd rather stream Automata.
10:34:57 syv: Though will you even be awake? >.>
10:47:35 Devastator: also,
MJ suggested tomorrow for BNA.
10:50:14 syv: Yeaaah if I can stream automata I'm skipping out on that.
11:08:26 Devastator: I'd skip out to play something with you, too.
