02:31:46 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:34:14 syv: Devastator
02:34:14 syv: Earth ponies?
02:42:20 Devastator: hmm?
02:43:27 Devastator: heyo.
02:43:44 syv: heyo.
02:44:09 ER: pone
02:44:19 Devastator: hope MJ's around for ep 15.
02:44:52 syv: Tonight, you mean?
02:46:20 Devastator: yeah.
02:46:23 Devastator: said so yeseterday
02:46:25 Devastator: but..
02:47:41 Devastator: anyway, MK's wrapping up.
02:47:57 Devastator: it's a good game but pretty subjective.
03:07:25 Devastator: got some awful rolls and placed on the wrong side of a couple rules changes.. twice on the downside of timing changes.
03:07:36 Devastator: so going to finish last.
03:08:08 syv: bad game; i lost
03:08:13 syv: (Joking)
03:09:08 Devastator: eh, having them discussed where I can't see it also hurts, especially since one of the rules changes was a silent nerf to something I bought.
03:09:15 Devastator: which apparently wasn't fit to tell me.
03:09:55 ER: corollary:
03:10:00 ER: I won; good game
03:10:05 Devastator: Yeah, I mean..
03:10:33 Devastator: it's nice getting a free section because the lobby liked your action. ;-p
03:10:39 Devastator: Twice.
03:11:22 ER: I follow my heart
03:13:15 Devastator: Yeah.
03:13:35 Devastator: I might rejoin after the rules have settled down a bit, but that was a bit too subjective for my taste.
03:14:18 ER: still less subjective than a normal rtd
03:15:12 Devastator: True.
03:16:16 ER: it's probably folly to expect mario cart to be fair or skill based
03:16:59 ER: as shown by the fact that the guy who got first place was afk for most of the game and won by catchup mechanic
03:17:11 Devastator: Yeah.
03:17:19 Devastator: course, giving Olaf an item is something that doesn't happen.
03:19:25 Devastator: zero for the game.
03:20:27 ER: waaaa
03:20:41 Devastator: ya.
03:20:54 Devastator: not much that woulda helped anyway, he was in the lead and then he was in last. ;-p
03:21:06 Devastator: in the lead = bad items, and in last at the end = no time for items.
03:22:25 Devastator: oh well. want show, dammit.
03:29:13 Devastator: could play some more cogmind.
03:35:36 Devastator: yeah. Lets see if those soldiers murder me.
03:41:43 Devastator: only 4 not five, and they're Veterans not Enforcers.. the next one down.
03:42:57 Devastator: one down, not the one in front, the second one in line. One of my guns penetrates, so it shot through.
03:43:28 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:43:29 MidJag: lo
03:43:35 Devastator: two down, and three more robots walked into line behind them.
03:43:38 Devastator: yeah, I'm fucked.
03:43:40 Devastator: heya MJ.
03:43:48 Devastator: two more veterans and an enforcer.
03:43:49 MidJag: hiya dev
03:43:54 MidJag: how be ye?
03:44:11 Devastator: okay.
03:44:18 Devastator: Work's been rough the last few days.
03:44:21 Devastator: ready for the show?
03:44:30 MidJag: Uhh, like ten mintues and then yes
03:44:42 Devastator: sure sure lets me get a drink and finish this encounter.
03:47:03 Devastator: huh, they're all dead.
03:47:10 Devastator: and there were like four more robots.
03:47:16 Devastator: one-wide hallwas are good for this.
03:47:21 MidJag: I see
03:48:43 Devastator: I'm not used to having this many guns and turning off all my expensive peripherals in battle like this.
03:49:51 syv: Clearly you aren't an American.
03:50:07 MidJag: heh
03:50:38 MidJag: Oh yeah, I went shooting over the weekend. I'm slowlly becoming a not terrible shot.
03:50:46 Devastator: they turn off their expensive peripherals in battle?
03:52:17 Devastator: I thought Americans invented the whole 'expensive useless battle peripherals' thing.
03:53:37 MidJag: I mean yeah thats why you turn them off, don't want your battle waffle iron to get damaged when you full auto your SAW.
03:56:37 Devastator: also Improved Matter Neutralizers are serious weapons.
03:59:30 MidJag: The sound serious
03:59:51 Devastator: welp.
03:59:52 syv: Beep me if you're going to watch more r;z

04:05:49 MidJag: Intresting

04:30:43 MidJag_: God damn

04:30:53 MidJag_: Blue is badass to kill all the cultists
04:30:53 ER: best girl died, guess the show's over
04:31:04 MidJag_: Oh no, protagonist kid got killed
04:31:12 MidJag_: He has to survive to vow revenge
04:31:13 Devastator: Armband kid!
04:31:16 Devastator: oh my god!
04:31:42 ER: frowns
04:31:53 MidJag_: Man why does ever cult pick hoods? I mean sure they're snazy and look cool, but they're just so overdone~
04:32:01 syv: Gooey
04:32:02 ER: F
04:32:16 Devastator: uh oh.
04:32:19 syv: Hoods conceal identity and form great
04:32:23 MidJag_: Why were her eyes bleeding?
04:32:34 Devastator: stabbed with them open.
04:32:48 MidJag_: I mean yes syv I know, I'm just saying it's overdone~
04:33:04 Devastator: ow
04:33:16 syv: cold
04:33:32 MidJag_: cold cold, cold as ice.
04:33:54 syv: Wouldn't it suck if he got a checkpoint right after something awful that would kill him?
04:34:00 Devastator: "Get a room, you two!"
04:34:02 Devastator: and yes it would.
04:34:06 MidJag_: Yeah, like when you quicksave at the wrong time
04:34:14 Devastator: hard save.
04:34:22 Devastator: but he doesn't have a menu.
04:34:25 ER: being an omega null isn't all sunshine
04:34:27 syv: nyo
04:34:31 syv: nyothing to do
04:34:31 ER: nyo
04:34:57 Devastator: welp, car got broken.
04:35:14 MidJag_: It's weird how short everyone is compared to car.
04:35:17 Devastator: The trouble is, nobody knows how to reboot him.
04:35:27 MidJag_: Except for the clown and the giant dude.
04:35:28 syv: "Damn, I crashed my Subaru. Need to take it in to the shop."
04:35:40 Devastator: "because blue is the best girl"
04:35:49 syv: Also, because Subaru grew up in the modern world with quality nutrition.
04:35:55 MidJag_: True
04:36:41 Devastator: Butler's taller than him.
04:36:55 syv: Butler's got fancy blood
04:36:56 Devastator: and so is Reinhardt
04:37:01 MidJag_: Ah fuck
04:37:07 MidJag_: My powers flickering

04:37:54 Devastator: Too quiet.
04:38:00 ER: CHOP
04:38:04 syv: Poor earth pony
04:38:09 MidJag_: Isn't there a sword for that?
04:38:17 MidJag_: Oh right the aztec swords could do that
04:38:22 syv: BOP
04:38:25 ER: horny mode
04:38:30 syv: BEST GIRL
04:38:36 Devastator: best girl has fast healing.
04:38:39 Devastator: kill them all!
04:38:51 MidJag_: The demons arent't the best at sensory perception are they.
04:39:00 MidJag_: And damn, we're going full Dresden files now
04:39:03 syv: Got your boyfriend, neener neener!
04:39:10 Devastator: oh?

04:41:08 MidJag_: This guy is great
04:41:09 ER: AWOO
04:42:13 ER: so good
04:42:15 Devastator: I gotta admit the earth melding is a great cult trait.
04:42:19 syv: I love how his own cultists look at each other like "fuck he's doing it again"
04:42:22 Devastator: credit should go to the VA.
04:42:23 MidJag_: It really is.
04:42:35 MidJag_: Yeah the english VA is great
04:42:49 MidJag_: So this guy is the sin of sloth in his religion?
04:43:12 ER: :)
04:43:13 Devastator: This is Betelgeuse, the Sin Archbishop commonly called Sloth.
04:43:30 MidJag_: Man I want to see what guy they consider to be energetic
04:43:45 MidJag_: This guy would be great in Catch 22
04:44:34 ER: demon
04:44:37 Devastator: Knock knock.
04:44:42 syv: best girl back
04:44:49 MidJag_: God this guy is great
04:44:51 Devastator: Yes, she really is.
04:45:35 MidJag_: He has a point
04:45:43 ER: ardent pathos plus comedy villian good
04:45:50 MidJag_: Yup.
04:45:57 Devastator: this is more frenzied pathos.
04:46:09 ER: no, best girl's pathos
04:46:42 ER: and that day car learned a valuable lesson
04:46:47 ER: about sloth
04:47:03 MidJag_: I've heard worse motivational speakers~
04:47:41 ER: that's a good line
04:47:42 Devastator: These cultists are pretty loyal.
04:47:54 MidJag_: I mean most cultists are.

04:49:48 MidJag_: how exactlly is rem moving?
04:49:58 ER: very carefully
04:49:58 syv: PURE FORCE OF WILL
04:50:03 MidJag_: Fair enough.
04:50:13 MidJag_: This is an anime, and she is literally a demon
04:50:28 MidJag_: Force of will is one of the natural laws in these things.
04:50:32 ER: I'm sure that the knowledge of this timeline will have no impact on his future actions
04:51:08 MidJag_: This shows concept is pretty clever it lets you just kill random chars have the main chars react and still have a plot/
04:51:15 Devastator: Yeah.
04:51:20 MidJag_: And hell he still learns from it either way
04:51:22 Devastator: "What if your isekai power really, really sucked?"
04:51:30 ER: F
04:51:38 MidJag_: Oh hey she died in a different place.

04:52:37 syv: All the other episodes are fake
04:52:41 syv: This is the anime end
04:52:42 Devastator: Missed it by that much, MJ.
04:52:49 MidJag_: DAmnit.
04:52:53 syv: Just watching Car kneel their, decapitated
04:53:05 Devastator: Elf.
04:53:09 Devastator: not the maids, elf.
04:53:10 MidJag_: I knew it was going to be one of the two I just wasn't sure which one
04:53:33 MidJag_: That would make more sense....and puck has a really weird realtinoship with his daughter then.
04:54:00 syv: Yeah there's a movie about it
04:54:07 ER: this was the real tieline, outta lives
04:54:07 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]

04:54:48 Devastator: uh oh.
04:54:52 ER: heya
04:54:53 Devastator: someone's not going to be dumb anymore.
04:55:01 MidJag_: They are pretty durable, and I guess it's only been like a couple of weeks.
04:55:09 ER: lost internet for a moment :v
04:55:17 MidJag_: Well that was neat
04:55:19 syv: Love that last little shot of him being utterly *pissed*
04:55:23 Devastator: Yuppers.
04:55:37 Devastator: realized it's not about him.
04:56:14 ER: good job, car
04:56:26 Devastator: anyway, next?
04:56:30 MidJag_: Sure
04:56:32 ER: and yeah, I guess that's kinda the turning point of his character
04:56:55 MidJag_: It only took 15 episodes of dumbness
04:57:33 ER: I mean, the one right before was the worst of the dumbness
04:57:45 ER: guess he had to be taken down a notch
04:57:55 MidJag_: God that reminded me of when I had to go a sororites chapter.
04:58:45 MidJag_: Nothing but cattiness and vanity as far as the eye could see.
04:58:56 Devastator: anyway, ready at 16

05:01:51 MidJag_: That guy has the same hair as me.
05:01:59 Devastator: you have that horrible facial thing?
05:02:03 MidJag_: Nah just the top
05:02:11 MidJag_: I don't have any facial hair
05:03:21 Devastator: oops.
05:03:27 Devastator: you might be inspired, but you don't know how to do it!
05:03:55 Devastator: "If she's dead, I don't need her to withdraw, moron."
05:03:55 MidJag_: Besides maybe the prussian gets killed in the proccesses
05:04:06 MidJag_: Indeed.
05:04:57 MidJag_: She's like a an anime Willhelm the great.
05:05:11 Devastator: That's an odd choice.
05:05:26 ER: he's a prophet
05:05:30 MidJag_: Mostly just her uniform, that made me choose it.
05:05:50 ER: glowy eyes
05:05:58 syv: HIS BRAIN TREMBLES
05:06:02 MidJag_: Heh
05:06:18 Devastator: always reframing things in the subjects she knows.

05:07:07 syv: "I want to save Rem"
05:07:09 ER: don't mess with mr butler
05:07:19 MidJag_: Yeah, I guess Willhelm was more adaptable then that, weird fucking guy. Managed to both create modern Germany and copmpletly fuck it up almost immedietly after he died.
05:07:42 Devastator: Him or Bismark?
05:07:48 MidJag_: ...Fuck
05:07:56 MidJag_: I've meant bismark this whole time

05:10:59 ER: fut
05:11:07 MidJag_: She got more confident and ovetly evil in like a scene.
05:11:16 Devastator: yes, kissing her foot will totally get her to respect you.
05:11:40 MidJag_: I This whole thing is just people insulting Car.
05:11:41 ER: yeet

05:11:53 syv: Helmetguy!
05:11:56 Devastator: and not encourage her to simply treat you like trash.
05:12:01 MidJag_: This guy is the best
05:12:04 Devastator: and yes.
05:12:12 Devastator: I'm trying to remember if we see him in action.
05:12:13 syv: Beetlejuice is better
05:12:13 ER: dark souls guy is nice
05:12:13 MidJag_: I want an episode just about that.
05:12:22 Devastator: if not, he should be around in season 3.
05:12:38 MidJag_: He's a G
05:12:38 syv: *scratches back of helmet*
05:12:41 Devastator: also, that's an odd scabbard.
05:12:53 MidJag_: Oh god.
05:13:02 MidJag_: ....Are all cat people healers?
05:13:02 syv: loli catgirl!
05:13:08 ER: tiny
05:13:09 syv: Right after dark souls guy!
05:13:19 syv: We're reaching anime levels never seen before!
05:13:27 MidJag_: The russian one?
05:13:47 Devastator: I'm not going to be sensitive to high anime levels after the penultimate episode of BNA.
05:13:56 syv: Very truw
05:14:01 Devastator: where we never got the theoretical maximum.
05:14:05 MidJag_: Huh, the english VA is familiar in this one.
05:14:09 MidJag_: I'm not sure why though.
05:14:36 MidJag_: I wonder when Car get's suplexed by a princess
05:14:38 syv: Hm.
05:14:39 MidJag_: Again
05:14:48 ER: I should watch the rest of bna some time
05:14:59 Devastator: It's not super good, but there's some good stuff.
05:15:08 Devastator: go for it.
05:15:14 MidJag_: Why is the child commanding an army?
05:15:21 Devastator: the child isn't a healer.
05:15:21 ER: because cats
05:15:24 Devastator: and yes.
05:15:37 MidJag_: I see.
05:15:59 ER: hamburg
05:16:12 Devastator: "The prussians are buying weapons?"
05:16:13 MidJag_: Anime biskmark?
05:16:17 MidJag_: Heh
05:16:31 Devastator: Yup. The conversation was to pump him for information.
05:16:46 MidJag_: Man this is just like pre WWI but with anime girls apperently.
05:16:47 Devastator: becuase Car is an easy mark.
05:16:54 ER: subaru gets played by every princess" the episode
05:16:57 Devastator: I think that's an actual anime, MJ.
05:17:00 MidJag_: Really?
05:17:04 Devastator: Yes.
05:17:07 Devastator: and no elf this ep, ER.
05:17:09 MidJag_: I guesss I'm not suprised.
05:17:30 syv: Knew it, Anastacia is voiced by Kyubei
05:17:35 MidJag_: Ah.
05:17:45 MidJag_: I knew that was a familiar voice.
05:17:52 MidJag_: And somehow manipulative.
05:18:00 Devastator: Hah.
05:18:18 Devastator: well, good lesson.
05:18:18 MidJag_: They do give good advice in a very backhanded way.
05:18:22 ER: nya
05:18:44 ER: blu
05:18:47 Devastator: Anastasia totally has cat parts somewhere, doesn't she?
05:18:53 MidJag_: Probably.
05:19:28 MidJag_: I would suggest murder.
05:20:04 MidJag_: So I guess Car get's killed again and rests to use his knoledge of everything better?
05:20:04 Devastator: murder is always the answer.
05:20:04 ER: murder is indeed the solution
05:20:13 Devastator: he did get some good tips, so..
05:20:33 MidJag_: Dev why does the couriers char design look so familiar?
05:20:40 Devastator: Not sure.
05:20:48 Devastator: but I mentioned "Fire Emblem Merchant", who he could totally be.
05:20:49 MidJag_: He's like a generic merchant in something
05:21:14 MidJag_: Ah that's probably it, he looks like a merchant in Dragon Quest
05:21:24 Devastator: ..I'll have to look those up.
05:21:26 ER: money
05:21:36 Devastator: right, Roswall does have money.
05:22:07 MidJag_: I mena he does own a castle.
05:22:18 ER: lostech
05:22:18 MidJag_: and entire villages.
05:22:53 MidJag_: No wait not a merchatn in Dragon quest he looks like one of the runners or soliders in it.
05:22:56 MidJag_: That's what it was.
05:22:58 MidJag_: Cool.
05:23:03 Devastator: which dragon quest?
05:23:10 MidJag_: I think like 4?
05:23:14 MidJag_: I've only played one.
05:23:21 ER: wooowoooooooo
05:23:33 Devastator: haven't played through 4 myself.
05:23:36 MidJag_: When I was like 12, and I think I mostly just liked the cover art was the main reason I got it.
05:23:38 ER: [whalesong]
05:23:47 Devastator: boop.
05:23:50 MidJag_: So I don't really rember which one it was .
05:24:01 Devastator: also boxart for DQ was the guy from Dragon Ball, IIRC.
05:24:03 MidJag_: Hello dragon turtle
05:24:10 syv: nah
05:24:13 syv: whale
05:24:20 syv: landwhaleshark
05:24:27 ER: the greed of a pig!
05:24:37 MidJag_: Then the one with the dancer and priestess on it, I dunno which one
05:24:59 Devastator: one sec.
05:25:31 MidJag_: Oh hry it was Dragon Quest IV.
05:26:10 MidJag_: Was kinda not a great game,
05:26:26 Devastator: hmm?
05:26:56 ER: more show, or less?
05:27:17 Devastator: I'm fine with more show. All I want to do tonight after is update Extinction, and I know what will happen there.
05:27:24 ER: wait shit, pizza
05:27:28 ER: one mo~
05:27:30 Devastator: get ye food!
05:27:52 MidJag_: I'll do one more ep.
05:27:53 Devastator: Also, the legendary one, MidJag, was III.
05:28:18 Devastator: had what was considered the greatest twist in gaming history.
05:29:25 MidJag_: But yeah the game was kinda okay, but uhh young pubescent me mostly was just distracted by the fact that most females in the game worse very uhh, light clothing.
05:29:35 MidJag_: And I see, what was the twist?
05:29:47 Devastator: It was a twist on three levels.
05:29:56 Devastator: The end boss was not the endboss.
05:30:18 MidJag_: okay, seems like a standard twist so far.
05:30:28 Devastator: After you beat the end boss, you proceeded to a new map, which was the old map from the first game, a fixed 2d thing that didn't scroll unlike the scrolling worldmap introduced in III.
05:31:05 Devastator: Turned out that you were controlling the cultural hero referred to in the first two games, all along.
05:31:10 syv has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
05:31:15 MidJag_: Okay that's pretty neat.
05:31:24 Devastator: so there was fake boss twist, which was new all the way back then.
05:31:32 Devastator: second worldmap, which was also new all the way back then.
05:31:42 Devastator: ..and there was the callback, which was the third thing.
05:31:49 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:32:19 Devastator: Mind you, there are exaples of the first two from certain PC precursor titles, but I'll have to check the dates to see which one was truly first. But really, III was the one that was legendary.
05:32:26 syv: I'm surprised MJ was ever distracted by scantily clad women
05:32:44 MidJag_: After that game I swore to never let them cloud my judgment
05:33:02 MidJag_: That's neat, reminds me of when I was playing pokemon soulsilver and it turned into you being able to play the old pokemon map.
05:33:10 Devastator: hah.
05:33:42 Devastator: that said, though, the shared experience thing of everyone finding out about it at once, and I mean everyone, as Dragon Quest was insanely popular, will probably never be recreated.
05:33:51 Devastator: because EVERYONE played DQ III, as soon as it came out.
05:34:33 ER: think I'll skip next ep
05:34:36 syv: Except for the 70% of the population which never played games?
05:34:43 syv: I think I'll get a burrito
05:35:04 MidJag_: IIRC I really was pissed with myself for letting the ads of scantilly clad women convince me to buy the game.
05:35:47 Devastator: yeah, I'm exaggerating slightly.
05:35:53 Devastator: but it was insanely, insanely popular.
05:35:59 Devastator: as in 1M sales on opening day.
05:36:08 MidJag_: damn
05:36:13 Devastator: in 1988
05:36:18 MidJag_: ...wow
05:36:19 syv: Damn you bought a game because of monkey impulses that the ads targeted
05:36:30 syv: It's almost like you bought it because of a violent trailer
05:36:31 Devastator: in Japan alone.
05:36:39 ER: I never figured out if dragon quest had any redeeming qualities to justify being so popular
05:36:50 ER: but I guess it's just generic enough
05:37:30 Devastator: Back then, yeah.
05:37:34 ER: monkey sees action. neuron activation.
05:37:35 Devastator: it was way better than the competition.
05:37:46 Devastator: like seriously better.
05:38:20 MidJag_: I'm not saying my buying impulses improved syv they just shifted from scantilly clad women to violence.~
05:38:27 Devastator: "Sold 3.8 million copies in Japan, 3 million in the first week."
05:38:42 MidJag_: Isn't dragon quest still insanely popular in japan?
05:38:44 Devastator: Yeah, that's.. everyone played it at once.
05:38:56 Devastator: I'm not sure. It isn't unpopular, but it isn't that kind of phenomenon.
05:38:57 ER: I only buy games because I like the spritework
05:39:07 ER: sometimes the sprites are of cute girls
05:42:15 Devastator: anyway, lets do the next ep.
05:42:27 ER: ok
05:42:29 ER: skip me
05:42:30 MidJag_: Sure
05:42:53 Devastator: syv?
05:43:10 syv: #?
05:43:20 MidJag_: 17?
05:43:29 MidJag_: I wasn't really keeping track to be honest
05:43:33 MidJag_: So that's probably wrong
05:43:37 Devastator: 17
05:43:44 MidJag_: oh hey
05:43:48 syv: Yeah I had the same thought, I wasn't gonna trust you
05:43:51 syv: But no, it's right.
05:43:53 syv: Ready
05:44:10 MidJag_: ready
05:44:17 Devastator: 5
05:44:19 Devastator: 4
05:44:20 Devastator: 3
05:44:22 Devastator: 2
05:44:24 Devastator: 1
05:44:25 Devastator: 0
05:44:29 MidJag_: Dust
05:44:34 Devastator: Jaggers, can guess the plot twist, but can't count to 17.
05:44:49 syv: That summarizes him well.
05:44:53 MidJag_: That describes me pretty well honestlly
05:45:17 Devastator: baleen whale with teeth.
05:45:29 ER: can breed deadly venemous fruit flies to conquer mankind
05:45:32 syv: flyinglandwhaleshark
05:45:40 MidJag_: Dev it's a whale walking on land, how is this the part your taking issue with?~
05:45:54 Devastator: It's flying.
05:46:04 Devastator: and the MC revives himself from the dead.
05:46:26 Devastator: while pursuing his hot silver-haired elf girlfriend / doomsday device.
05:46:28 MidJag_: I once read a book in elemntary school called whales on stilts, and too this day I have to look up the book occasionaly just to make sure it wasn't a fever dream.
05:46:58 syv: Okay, that made me burst out laughing
05:47:03 Devastator: yes.
05:47:06 syv goes to check himself
05:47:10 Devastator: it is a hallucination.
05:47:35 Devastator: Eat box, monster!
05:47:43 ER: honestly dunno why he's still interested in elf after 15
05:47:53 ER: demon's dlearly better
05:47:54 syv: It wasn't!
05:47:56 Devastator: Don't you remember the flashback?
05:47:56 MidJag_: I really want Blue to lose an eye and become obssesed with hunting the white whale.
05:48:01 syv: It has explosions on the cover!
05:48:04 syv: https://images.contentreserve.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/%7B531A02B5-7073-440D-9D84-B83024F75219%7DImg100.jpg
05:48:09 MidJag_: Yup
05:48:16 MidJag_: The whales shoot lasers
05:48:17 syv: This is glorious
05:48:22 syv: Ahahahaha
05:48:48 ER: looks like a good book
05:48:58 MidJag_: I think the guy who creates them was also part whale.
05:49:38 MidJag_: Or something, and like I think the kid in the bomber hat is like a parody of boy adventurers that I didn't realize a tthe time.
05:49:50 Devastator: whale lasers are way better than shark lasers.
05:50:16 MidJag_: Really I think the whole book is kinda supposed to be a parody/homage to like 1930s' kids pulp novels, but god it was a weird book
05:50:24 Devastator: Looks that way.
05:50:34 MidJag_: I also read it when I was like 8? So my memory is kinda hazy.
05:51:06 Devastator: just point Mr. Dragonsword at it.
05:51:36 Devastator: oh, snap.
05:51:36 MidJag_: Oh right I think the girl with the phonograph was supposed to be like a supernatural detective?
05:51:43 syv: *music stops*
05:51:47 MidJag_: Fuck that cover is triggering a bunch of memoreies.
05:52:04 MidJag_: The whale has pyschic powers?
05:52:20 Devastator: Yes.
05:52:24 MidJag_: Neat
05:52:24 Devastator: the white whale is psychic.
05:52:31 MidJag_: Of course it is.
05:52:46 ER: [WHALESONG]
05:52:57 MidJag_: Wait what? Why is it chasing him?
05:53:03 MidJag_: I think I missed something
05:53:05 syv: Mawbeasts chase him
05:53:05 Devastator: It's love-seeking.
05:53:15 MidJag_: But why is it chasing him in particular/
05:53:25 Devastator: because car smells like the Witch, to magic-users.
05:53:27 ER: he smells witchy
05:53:31 MidJag_: Oh right
05:53:45 syv: ....Does he get killed at least once by *everyone* he makes friends with?
05:54:01 ER: otto never kills him!
05:54:05 Devastator: Does red maid ever kill him?
05:54:09 syv: Otto just killed him
05:54:10 Devastator: I could count this one to Otto, yeah.
05:54:13 ER: oh
05:54:16 syv: Unless he survives this
05:54:20 syv: But I forget
05:54:34 MidJag_: Honestlly I think at this point killing Car is like shaking his hand, an expected part of a social conversation.
05:54:43 Devastator: Hi!
05:54:45 Devastator: Stab
05:54:54 MidJag_: Oh hey, those knives.
05:54:57 Devastator: oh, no, I know who kills him this go around.
05:55:02 syv: Ohhh
05:55:04 syv: Yep!
05:55:07 Devastator: I remember it now.
05:55:31 MidJag_: I've got no guesses.
05:56:09 MidJag_: That Dragon is soo done with the human shit
05:57:34 MidJag_: Is this entire show just people insulting Car into being a better person.
05:57:41 syv: Yes?
05:57:54 syv: That's a really good summary, honestly.
05:58:09 Devastator: Yes.
05:58:11 syv: Maybe add "and traumatizing" in there.
05:58:33 MidJag_: Because I feel like every useful thing car learns is told to him in a humiliating putdown while he's either being injured or killed by them.
05:59:06 MidJag_: So the wahle eats people whole? Like whole whole?
05:59:19 MidJag_: Oh cool the whale is soviet.
05:59:19 syv: Whole whole whole
05:59:30 syv: To a point there's nothing but a hole left behind
05:59:36 Devastator: It's clearly a white whale, not a red whale.
06:00:07 MidJag_: I forget what the whites were called in the russian civil war.
06:00:13 MidJag_: Otherwise I would make a joke
06:00:29 Devastator: They were called.. the whites.
06:00:40 Devastator: because there was no one group.
06:00:46 MidJag_: Ah right.
06:01:04 MidJag_: Car is still not the best at not being dumb
06:01:15 MidJag_: Like he's gotten better, but still not great.
06:01:22 syv: Traumatized
06:01:23 Devastator: Yeah.
06:01:27 MidJag_: Also that
06:01:31 Devastator: but this is pretty understandable.
06:01:38 MidJag_: To be sure.
06:01:58 Devastator: ahh, Emelia.
06:02:04 MidJag_: Because car has one power and it's terrible.
06:02:18 Devastator: well, he can also sometimes blind people.
06:02:23 Devastator: who are weak.
06:02:34 syv: While also blinding himself
06:03:16 MidJag_: Wow.
06:03:31 MidJag_: Invisble hands are just dicks
06:03:44 syv: invisible dicks?
06:03:50 ER: when will car start worrying about how this power will end out for him?
06:03:52 MidJag_: Prehnsile dicks
06:04:09 syv: Invisible prehensile dicks. How anime.
06:04:52 Devastator: have to survive everything before worrying about long term consequences.
06:05:00 syv: More Car bashing, I suppose.
06:05:09 Devastator: I wonder what her tic is in japanese.
06:05:10 MidJag_: See? Literally everything told to him that's useful is told in a humilating putdown
06:05:19 Devastator: yeah, it's pretty fair.
06:05:53 syv: Here we are!
06:06:00 MidJag_: Well she has eyes again, that's an improvment
06:06:34 MidJag_: You know I really wasn't expecting the librarian to be a traitor.
06:06:53 Devastator: I think you have to know whose side she's on to know if she's being a traitor.
06:07:07 MidJag_: True. She's definetly playing her own game.
06:07:23 Devastator: That's not allowed.
06:07:26 Devastator: It's even in the name.
06:07:38 MidJag_: Car can see the invisble hand of the market, and it's full of delicious meat~
06:08:03 Devastator: It's not the invisible hand.
06:08:06 Devastator: it's the unseen hand.
06:08:08 ER: blackhat being able to saveload would make sense
06:08:11 Devastator: it's why it's so irritating that he can see it.
06:08:14 MidJag_: I know I was making ajjoek
06:08:27 Devastator: I'm just being pedantic in return.
06:08:28 MidJag_: Oh cool.
06:08:33 MidJag_: Angry cat
06:08:46 syv: Angry cat is bad at aiming
06:08:48 Devastator: uh oh.
06:08:55 Devastator: doesn't want it to go slow.
06:09:00 MidJag_: When you've got that many projectilves is there any real point?
06:09:01 Devastator: sorry.
06:09:03 Devastator: fast.
06:09:10 ER: nyom
06:09:26 MidJag_: Ah fuck it's 1 AM.
06:09:32 Devastator: one more sec.
06:09:38 Devastator: that's a good observation, MJ.
06:09:49 Devastator: about how character growth is almost entirely through constructive putdowns.
06:09:54 syv: She says "Kashira" in Jap
06:10:18 MidJag_: Well thank you dev.
06:10:27 Devastator: Rem gives Car two of those in season 2.
06:10:30 Devastator: two really good ones.
06:13:15 Devastator: thanks for looking that up.
06:13:40 MidJag_: What does Kashira mean in japense?
06:13:48 syv: "I wonder?"
06:13:52 MidJag_: Ah
06:13:59 MidJag_: So about the same thing.
06:14:02 Devastator: that's a better translation.
06:14:05 syv: Used basically the same as the way "I suppose" is used.
06:14:12 Devastator: yeah, but I wonder is better.
06:14:17 Devastator: I suppose is more declarative.
06:14:22 syv: Ehhh, I wouldn't agree.
06:14:39 syv: That seems to be what she's saying--"In my potentially unreliable opinion"
06:15:25 Devastator: mmm, not really, it's less "I observe this to be true" and more "I'm actively making this true"
06:15:54 Devastator: I wonder is also more flexible, so seems more appropriate for a tic.
06:16:01 ER: I suppose it doesn't matter
06:16:11 Devastator: Yeah, pretty much.
06:17:37 syv: Nah, I was reading about it while looking.
06:17:55 syv: She apparently does also say "in fact" as a replacement, sometimes.
06:18:03 syv: Namely, for things that are concrete facts.
06:24:29 Devastator: "You are dumb, Subaru, in fact."
06:24:31 Devastator: ;-p
06:25:20 syv: I'd love that as an emphasized line
06:25:51 syv: But no, she seems to see any personal belief or action as inherently nonfactual
06:27:30 MidJag_: Mmm, I should go to bed.
06:29:14 syv: Goodnight, Jaggers
06:29:23 MidJag_: I'll be busy Wensday night, and maybe thursday? This weekend is also pretty busy as well....fuck.
06:29:43 MidJag_: I will see if I'm free to watch show Thursday.
06:30:13 Devastator: kk
06:30:46 MidJag_: Oh and I'll probably be extremly drunk if I show up on Friday or Saturday night. It's the Alumni tailgate for my fraternity.
06:31:27 MidJag_: but good night.

06:39:27 syv: Yes, pets.
06:39:39 syv gently pets ER
06:42:11 Devastator: Posted extinction.
06:46:14 syv: Oo!
06:46:53 Devastator: This isn't going to be a serious fight, so just making it a quickie puzzle instead.
06:47:01 Devastator: and no, this isn't a heavy puzzle.
06:51:43 Devastator: anyway, you'll make it under 20, so lemme roll to see what the optional bonus job is.
06:53:17 Devastator: looks like wall.
07:03:55 syv: "shoot everyone, it's not lethal"
07:04:32 Devastator: That would work, actually.
07:04:37 Devastator: except for Trence's instadeath chance.
