04:57:53 Devastator: welp, there's Ascent.
04:57:57 Devastator: first die-roll of the game.
04:59:03 Devastator: It wasn't important.
04:59:09 Devastator: someone will make that roll sooner or later.
05:02:50 Devastator: things will pick up soonish.
05:08:12 Devastator: "You have had a very busy night. Crime never sleeps, and therefore neither can an Imperial Legion Patrolman. Instead of sleep, you simply blink more often."

05:40:11 Midjag: I'm so excited, the aussie I need antibodies from is sending them to me.
05:41:26 Devastator: and I hope that isn't some kind of weird euphemism.
05:42:15 Midjag: Nah. I need antibodies so I can do my experiment, it's so that I can do a confirmatory step and make sure I actually have the right protiens.
05:42:37 Midjag: Gah, it's just so good, this has been stressing me out for weeks.
05:44:02 Midjag: Unfortunetly I'm writing secondaries right now.]
05:45:14 Midjag: I applied to like 40 schools, so it translates into a lot of fucking writing, which sucks, but so it goes.
05:46:36 Midjag: Yeah, hopefully things will kinda chill out in like a week or so.
05:46:56 Midjag: ...on the other hand I feel like I say that a lot.
05:48:09 Devastator: you sure? I mean you are all responsable and such.
05:52:38 Devastator: naj, just want to watch stuff.
05:53:46 Midjag: Hmm, I think I'll have time tommorow for an episode?
05:56:22 Devastator: I did watch ep 1 of cells at work.
05:56:29 Devastator: have you seen that, or were you just recommending it.
05:56:36 Devastator: someone blew up within 30 seconds of the episode starting.
05:56:43 Midjag: And sounds like biology
05:57:11 Devastator: well, basically the ongoing metaphor is the human body is a truly enormous city.
05:57:19 Devastator: and red blood cells are messengers.
05:57:22 Midjag: ...I can get behind that.
05:57:32 Devastator: and white blood cells are madmen with knives.
05:59:23 Midjag: From what I've learned in biology your entire immune system is more like an incrediblly angry homicidal maniac who is just kinda pointed in the direction of things the body is scared of and hope it kills the things before it kills the body.
05:59:58 Midjag: And you kill the most agressive ones that attack the body first.

06:01:09 syv: I don't have any of the anime downloaded yet, my net is crap.
06:03:11 Midjag: One more barrier between me and some proper mad science has fallen.
06:04:05 ER: been playing through katana zero... for the third runthrough since it got it a few days ago :v
06:04:35 syv: Is it the Dark Souls of 2d katana games?
06:04:36 ER: there are actually new enemy types in hard mode, it's neat
06:05:17 ER: red shirt dudes who have a kick which you can't roll through, and big guys with big machineguns
06:05:59 ER: besides that, just a fuckton more shotgun dudes, shield dudes, sentry guns, gun traps...
06:06:36 ER: one of the bosses pulled out an attack I'd never seen before...
06:07:23 Midjag: Oh yeah, I've played some shovel knight in this time of suffering through secondaries. It's not as hard as I expected. I'm like halfway through the game now.
06:08:28 ER: I bought two sidescrolling platformers with swording in them at the same time, and it turns out that the more expensive one was way more polished and fun!
06:09:56 ER: oh yes, also digging the story in katana zero
06:10:27 syv: Swordgirl seeks revenge and kills everyone?
06:10:46 Midjag: I thought Katana zero your a dude
06:11:00 ER: swordguy can't remember anything and his therepist sends him to assaainate people
06:11:32 Devastator: plot twist, the therapist is the real assassin.
06:11:48 Devastator: this is the world's most convoluted killing method.
06:11:56 ER: though you do play a different swordguy for a level, and he's a bishe out for revenge type
06:14:50 ER: after you clear a level you get to see a tape of you performing it all in real time since you can abuse slow motion, but with that character on the tape he just kinda jumps between spots and people die around him
06:15:04 Devastator: mmm, that's an idea.
06:16:46 ER: but the main premise of the plot is that you're on a drug which messes with your perception of time and lets you see into the future, so every time you die it's just in your mind and you go back and try to find a different way
06:18:05 ER: and people who go into withdrawl on this drug die... but their perception of time slows down further and further, so *subjectively* they never die and just suffer eternally in frozen time
06:18:27 ER: so you kind of need to keep taking it
06:19:05 Midjag: Hmm, so they couldn't be revived at an artbitrary point by being injected wiith the drug?
06:19:18 Devastator: outside observer there.
06:19:34 ER: no, they can definately die from other people's perspective
06:20:09 ER: the drug doesn't make you into a reality warper, just changes your perception of things
06:20:38 ER: and as a side effect makes you immortal because anything which could kill you you could just see coming and plan around
06:21:10 Midjag: you just tear the cancer out
06:21:56 Devastator: just gotta work from far enough out. ;-p
06:22:29 ER: then they would just be stuck forever seeing themselves die, since I think you can only see forwards a certain amount
06:23:33 ER: I think that might be impossible
06:23:46 syv: It's a fairly long short story.
06:23:50 Devastator:
syv linked me a short story with that sort of theme to it.
06:24:02 Devastator: the twist is that the immortal is non-intelligent.
06:24:13 syv: That severely misunderstands evolution, along with being very sexist.
06:24:16 Devastator: because you don't need brains, you see.
06:24:33 Devastator: the concept of out-competion is real,
syv.
06:24:50 Devastator: not like that, but real. ;-p
06:24:53 syv: It is, but the concept of evolution being a deliberate designer isn't.
06:25:16 ER: of course at the end of the game you fight someone else like you. A battle which takes place in the mind which nobody can win which will be fought forever until someone gives up
06:25:21 Devastator: mmm, I must have missed that. I thought the mutants were random, but caused by fallout from a nuclear war.
06:25:41 Midjag: I mean kinda? It's a designer in as much as a filter causes a design.
06:25:42 syv: This was very much "Evolution decided to give these traits and remove these other ones to make this mutant optimal", in one generation.
06:25:58 syv: Like, parents were basically normal people, IIRC.
06:26:20 Devastator: yes, that's stupid
syv.
06:27:24 syv: "What if someone had literally perfect foresight?"
06:29:04 Midjag: Sounds fun, I'll have to read it sometime
06:29:11 Midjag: I like Philip K dicks stuff
06:29:19 Midjag: And that is quite the OOTS comic
06:29:44 Devastator: don't forget the book about the person who accidently did the Jesus.
06:29:58 Midjag: It's on order, should come in soon
06:30:21 Midjag: And I like how OOTS portarys an epic level rouge
06:30:38 Midjag: Just a mess of magic items, stealth, and planning.
06:32:28 Devastator: "And not a wizard, for some reason."
06:33:09 ER: how often does batman actually plan out a fight and have it happen in a prepared enviroment?
06:33:10 Midjag: I think all high level chars eventually become batman
06:33:20 Midjag: ..except maybe barbarians
06:33:25 Midjag: They just become the hulk
06:34:52 Midjag: I do like how xykon is the opposite of a batman wizard.
06:35:10 Midjag: But is just so much brute strength it kinda balances out
06:36:09 ER: I mean, he has tools other than brute force, which he usually uses to make brute force available
06:36:31 Midjag: Right, and he has lackys who do the thinking for him when he's bored.
06:36:47 syv: Yeah, Xykon's not dumb or a pure brute. He just likes to be brutish when it doesn't matter, because hey!
06:37:40 Midjag: Indeed, like when he fights V he actually fights clever.
06:37:45 Midjag: Or when he fights all the paladins
06:38:09 syv: You don't survive to his level if you're just a brute.
06:38:55 Midjag: I need to read start of darknesss sometimes
06:39:24 Devastator: read accidental jesus first. ;-p
06:39:31 Devastator: it really is the worst day ever.
06:40:03 Midjag: I mean any story involving brohters loudly bitching at each other while collaberating closely I'll probably enjoy~
06:40:07 Devastator: "You stabbed Jesus? Kill yourself before they do it to you."
06:40:18 Devastator: and then the MC's brother does it again!
06:42:19 Devastator: I think the premise for their attempted escape is wrong.
06:43:28 Midjag: Oh yeah, weird thing I found out while reading about fruit fly sex ratios, in humans there is a theory that the number of sons or daughters a partiuclar male has is not a 50/50 chance. and it seems to be inherritbale, so if a male has all brohters he's more more likely to have sons, and if a male has all sisters he's more likelly to have daughters.
07:08:40 Devastator: Prequel i sstill awesome.
07:09:08 ER: no talking about prequel unless there's an update! ;P
07:11:17 syv: There's an update! It's not even a year old, yet.
07:11:52 Devastator: although I reserve the right to take single quotes from ancient updates.
07:11:55 Devastator: like the one from earlier.
