Start of #Exalted buffer: Sat Jul 04 10:50:15 2009 [13:51:33] Back. I'm going to sign in on a different computer, though. [13:51:36] Brb. [13:52:07] kk [13:53:46] Wow. Okay, I started asking a friend about Kara Tur, that Asian place in Forgotten Realms. [13:53:48] [13:51:59] demota99: What happens in Kara Tur, anyway? [13:53:48] [13:52:03] demota99: People are just Asian, that's it? [13:53:48] [13:52:11] Arios Zephyr: Yeah, pretty much. [13:53:48] [13:52:26] Arios Zephyr: Everyone revers the Emperor. [13:53:48] [13:52:43] Arios Zephyr: And every so often they fight a war against the island kingdom of Wai (Japan). [13:53:48] [13:52:48] demota99: Geez [13:53:48] [13:53:10] Arios Zephyr: And then there was the whole mongol invasion over the Dragonwall (The Great Wall). [13:54:04] [13:53:43] Arios Zephyr: When the mongols finally got their asses kicked, they started fighting in the western realms. [13:54:55] Did they just... take actual history and change the names? [13:57:28] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-75-17-56-242.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Exalted [13:57:39] Okay. :D [13:57:41] I'm good to go [13:57:44] Wow, that's seriously uncreative [13:57:54] Yeah. [13:58:09] Except that in real history, the mongols messed China up like crazytown. L| [13:58:14] :| even [13:58:18] Yeah [13:58:18] * Charles is now known as Kentaro [13:58:29] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-75-17-56-242.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [13:58:35] PersYONa! [14:00:26] ... man, I need to figure out a good way to autofix a lot of logs. [14:00:54] I'm here! [14:00:58] :3 [14:01:06] Logs from my desktop go too far horizontally before they do a return character, and a number of them have issues where it won't open in Firefox, and if I open them in notepad, they've got NO next line things [14:01:08] Yay [14:01:36] Dem> I use Textpad to do my line breaks after 70 characters per line. [14:02:11] * Demota nods [14:02:23] I was just farting around in WoW for a little bit. [14:02:33] Man. WoW. I haven't played that in years. [14:02:35] * Yon is now known as Megumi [14:03:20] .... weird. What happened to my log? [14:03:32] Does anyone have backscroll? Otherwise I'll have to fire up the desktop [14:03:41] I do, yeah [14:03:44] How much do you need? [14:03:57] Just hte last few lines, enough to continue the conversation. [14:04:50] I need to fix the log page, though. I screwed up bad and I think I overwrote the next to last log witht he last log [14:05:18] Dem, where do you keep the logs now? [14:05:40] Are we starting right there? [14:05:58] http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg/youkai/ [14:06:10] Yeah, continuing from last time, no sliptime [14:06:17] Cool, thanks. [14:06:48] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [14:07:34] Well, this isn't good. It's not in the backscroll on this computer either. Checking logs. [14:08:10] :( [14:08:28] ... it's not in my logs [14:09:33] I don't have a log for a session yesterday in my autosave folder [14:09:38] Why? [14:10:06] That... [14:10:09] IS A SECRET. [14:10:15] I don't feel good. [14:10:18] I feel a little dizzy. [14:11:21] Ack. Sick? [14:11:28] No, panicked [14:11:37] :( Aw, don't panic. It's okay. [14:12:02] Dem, have you talked to your doctor about your panic attacks yet? [14:12:07] Nope [14:12:31] I'm confused. There was a session yesterday, right? [14:12:38] Yeah. [14:12:38] I can't find any solid evidence that it ever happened [14:12:53] The fact that I was able to cut and paste the log to you should be something. [14:12:57] I have logs and I remember what happened? [14:13:04] D: I don't usually log so I don't have the file, but we definitely had game yesterday. [14:13:07] Right. Forgot about that part. [14:14:45] Dem, you seriously have a severe anxiety disorder. I have a pretty bad one myself, but yours is far far worse, and I have pretty strong medication for it. [14:16:27] Yeah, it's probably not good that I tend to do things like question my memory of stuff that happened the previous day if I can't find any solid evidence. :/ [14:17:34] ... okay, found the log. That was confusing. It was on my laptop, but it didn't get bakcloaded [14:17:41] So I assumed that the laptop didn't ahve it [14:18:08] It's probably also not good that you refuse to see a doctor after years of your friends telling you to do it. :( [14:18:24] :( I didn't realize you were having them often. [14:18:53] (like if I haven't used any for a while because I haven't had a panic attack in days, and then I have a severe one so I have to take more than one pill, I actually get slightly stoned) [14:19:05] Yeah. I really should take the time to go see one, especially since my insurance expires at the end of the summer. [14:19:22] Especially with that issue where one eye just... breaks [14:19:24] Schedule an appointment IMMEDIATELY. [14:19:48] I'm not even joking. Not that I expect this to work, since I've tried to get you to do it before, but *Jesus Christ* [14:19:52] Your life will improve so damn much, Dem. [14:20:12] It is not normal and not healthy to have to live like you live. I don't understand why you insist on continuing to live like this. [14:20:58] And it'll be EASY. If WE can tell you have a severe anxiety disorder, a trained psychiatrist will have no problem diagnosing you and you might even have meds for it the same day. [14:21:03] * Demota nods [14:22:07] Go talk to your parents about it right now. The game can wait. [14:22:21] Yeah, that's probably a good idea. ^^ [14:23:24] Found the kaiser site and my medical card. [14:24:36] ... why, when the site saks me for my date of birth, I look to the card to see what it is. ?_? [14:33:03] Forking ramen into your mouth with chopsticks sounds dangerous. D: [14:33:59] Tanuki udon has tempura, leeks, and naruto in it [14:35:40] But how do you digest the brightly colored ninja? :downs: [14:38:22] Haha [14:38:31] God, I love this episode of Home Movies [14:38:47] It starts with the main character getting hit by a car while on his bike because he was riding on the wrong side of the road [14:38:58] Okay, found a hospital that'll take my insurance policy. :toot: [14:39:17] Great! [14:39:24] And he has to go to juvenile court to get damages assessed for the accident, and the judge decides to waive his paying for the damages if he writes an essay about what he did wrong [14:39:26] Terrific! [14:39:46] So he records a video essay about a married couple who drives around looking for kids on bikes to hit in their car [14:39:50] hahahahahah [14:40:08] And has a band perform a song at the end that goes "Don't kill children, don't run them over, let them live their lives, let them get over" over and over again [14:46:08] http://www.timeoutsingapore.com/restaurants/dessert/oni-cupcakes Probably unrelated. :( [14:50:17] Maha: Is Textpad free? [14:57:12] Wow. Hunters used to have their own power source, instead of mana. They originally used 'Focus', which they raised by standing still. [14:57:44] It makes more sense, at least, but wow. [14:58:04] That could have been cool [14:58:15] It'd probably just end up being a pain [14:58:29] Later bosses are REALLY movement heavy, and by forcing a class to stand still, they'd eliminate that element [14:59:12] Yeah. Especially since hunters have a bunch of stuff they do that's based on moving a lot, even though their base DPS role involves standing in one place. [14:59:32] I mean, they're pretty much THE kiting class. [14:59:36] oh. :( [14:59:49] And there are still bosses based around that. [15:00:07] (also luring a mob into your traps while running away) [15:01:04] It's a really neat idea, just for a different class [15:01:18] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-235-254-170.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Exalted [15:01:20] Hi [15:01:53] Hey. [15:01:58] Dem> Sorry, I missed your question earlier. I think it's shareware. [15:02:06] * Demota nods [15:02:07] But I think you can use it for free. [15:02:14] Still, whatever class had to deal with that would have problems during "DON'T STAND IN THE FUCKING FIRE" moments. [15:02:19] Hey DH. [15:02:47] Yeah [15:02:59] But if they could design the class around that limitation, it'd be neat [15:03:17] Like, talents and gear that let you regain focus during the first second of movement or whatever [15:03:44] WoW discussion? [15:04:07] Yeah [15:04:09] Yeah, I was reading some stuff about alpha/early beta WoW. [15:05:46] Man, I can't get over how much Loki looks like Krauser in Devil Survivor [15:05:46] Hehheh. [15:06:44] (so in summary, I am glad they ditched focus, because kiting shit all over the place as a hunter was one of my greatest joys in WoW) [15:07:26] Hrm. [15:07:42] One thing I wish WoW and other MMOs that used threat mechanics had. [15:07:52] Was an exception/multiplier subtable. [15:08:02] Wghere certain acts/races/types would affect threat gen. [15:08:17] Kinda like how elementals in FFXI only aggro when you use magic nearby. [15:08:34] Of course. [15:08:48] THis wold lead to mobs that basically charge the healzorz and can't be pulled off. [15:09:54] Yeah, I was gonna say that sounded like a neat idea, then I remembered FFXI isn't allowed to have neat ideas >:( [15:10:02] I want a gimmick boss that drains all your mana so you heal with bandages. :T [15:10:18] oh my god did Sarah Palin seriously say "The world needs more trigs not fewer" [15:10:35] ... ahahaha. [15:10:41] She'll never be dull, at least. [15:10:44] Hrm. [15:10:47] She needs more people on her level. :( [15:10:56] * Darkheart checks progblogs to see if people are flipping out over HELP. [15:11:25] Oh wow, she's quitting? [15:11:27] Ahahahaha! [15:11:28] Yes, we should endeavour to increase birth defects in babies! [15:12:06] Someone should say "I like anime" and then "and manga" [15:14:41] AND GIRUGAMESH [15:16:50] Haha [15:19:04] How do I set row lenghts in textpad? [15:21:14] I think it's under document options or something like that. [15:22:00] I tried looking for that [15:22:10] Hmm. Lemme check my copy. Mine is an old version, though [15:22:15] wait, found it [15:25:00] Hey, WoW _sort_ of had that aggro thing, at least in one single fight. [15:25:15] "FOOL! Kill the one in the dress!" [15:25:38] hahahah [15:26:27] Dem, on mine, it's under Configure>Document Properties [15:26:34] * Demota nods [15:26:49] Ahahaha oh man, I never realized the joke behind the Nefarian fight. [15:27:58] Huh? [15:28:07] He has this thing called the "Class Call". [15:28:28] What it did is effects everyone of whichever class he chooses with a debuff. [15:28:48] The joke is that it makes the whiny dreams of the class come true in a really unfortunate way. [15:29:06] Oh? :O [15:29:12] Like what? [15:29:34] Druids always bitched back then about how they never got to use their shapeshifting and only got to heal. [15:29:53] When Druids are class called, they're stuck in cat form where they can do shitty DPS. [15:30:13] hahaha [15:30:49] Warriors were the only viable tanking class then and never got to DPS unless your guild had five million warriors. Their class call puts them all in berserker stance. [15:30:58] Hahahahah [15:31:41] Rogues are instantly teleported in front of Nefarian and probably killed by his cleave. [15:31:56] Priests do damage with all of their healing spells. [15:32:14] Warlocks start spawning infernals that attack the raid. [15:32:30] Hahaha, that's pretty awesome. [15:32:31] Hunters lose the use of their ranged weapon. [15:32:44] Oh, wow, that's beautiful [15:32:46] Paladins put their bubble on Nefarian. [15:32:58] hahaha [15:33:03] I don't get the Rogue thing though [15:33:12] Rogues are always attacking from behind. [15:33:18] hah [15:34:32] And shamans drop aggressive totems instead of ones that buff the raid. Except they attack the raid instead of Nefarian. [15:34:40] Awsome [15:35:15] Is that really a complaint? I knew a guy who was really proud of the whole 'rogues do it from behind' thing [15:35:29] i guess they want to backstab from the front? [15:36:02] I dunno. I had some rogue friends who were really trying to play warriors. x_x [15:36:13] Well paladins don't really complain about their bubble, but they're known for abusing it. [15:36:34] And the melee hunter thing is more making fun of retarded hunters than whiny hunters who play the class right. [15:37:36] Combat rogues could attack from whichever direction they felt like though [15:41:14] ..oh wow, they added a class call for Death Knights when the expansion came out. [15:41:28] He yells GET OVER HERE! and death grips all of them. :laffo: [15:41:31] Hahahahahahha [15:42:44] hahahahah I have no ide awhat Kentaro is trying to say. D: [15:43:03] Though that mgiht be intentional [15:43:37] He's kind of making the argument that technical skill comes before artistic flourishes, but he's doing it in the most circituitious way possible [15:44:37] I laughed really hard at the Pixiv line. [15:44:42] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [15:46:27] Whoop, opening up BlazBlue limited edition. [15:46:38] What's Pixiv? [15:46:39] Hooray, game, bonus DVD, and 2-disc soundtrack of Daisuke Ishiwatari [15:46:56] And some book [15:46:59] It's like Japanese DeviantArt [15:47:18] .... aaaahahahaha. New Rifftrax is out, and it's Red Dawn. [15:47:25] Ah, okay. [15:47:26] Ooh man [15:47:50] It's $4, but I don't have a copy of Red Dawn and I'm not sure I want to buy one. Though I saw a copy at Half Price Books [15:50:58] Red Dawn is a pretty terrific movie in terms of stupid movies [15:52:19] Whoa, what the heck? One of my sims is eating cereal while sitting on the toilet. o_o [15:52:39] One of your Sims is having the time of their lives [15:52:53] Maha: You know what's great? [15:53:04] I threw a birthday party, and one of the guests walked up, grabbed a plate, and sat on the toilet to eat [15:53:09] Wasn't even their own damn house [15:53:35] Haha [15:53:40] I've never seen that before. [15:53:45] Until today, I mean. [16:00:34] I lik ethe phrase "thrown under the discovery-bus" [16:01:34] Hahaha [16:03:07] BlazBlue opened. Preparing to rip Ishiwatari music [16:04:55] In retrospect, I wish I had said "Thrown under the Magic Schoolbus" [16:05:03] hahahah [16:05:08] I can edit that into the log [16:06:24] Man, why do fresh CDs and DVDs always smell like syrup? [16:06:44] They do? [16:06:49] I dunno. I kinda feel like I'm cheating by having Kentaro reference relatively obscure western things. :/ [16:06:53] True [16:07:15] But it's...what is it called when the audience gets the joke, but not the characters? Dramatic irony? [16:07:33] Yeah [16:07:44] Or anything that the audience understands, but the characters don't [16:07:52] True [16:13:12] Sasquatch is North America. Yeti is in Tibet. :| [16:15:07] Not the same thing? [16:15:59] Not according to wikipedia. I looked it up because i got curious [16:16:04] Ah, good to know. [16:16:53] Drat. I gotta go, guys. I have a thing to go to. [16:17:18] http://www.destructoid.com/xseed-announces-the-sky-crawlers-innocent-aces-for-wii-138460.phtml [16:17:20] Later Maha [16:17:26] I guess we'll stop here and pick up when? [16:17:28] Later. :3 [16:17:35] I'll be back next Thursday. Unless you can't run then. [16:17:58] See you, Maha [16:17:59] Sure [16:18:01] Later [16:18:02] Bye! [16:18:10] Next Thursday's good, but not any thursday after that for a while [16:18:43] BlazBlue ripped. Gonna upload [16:19:40] Okay, that's fine. I'll see you guys Thursday! [16:19:42] * Berny waves out. [16:19:46] Have a good weekend. ^_^ [16:19:50] You too! [16:19:55] Thanks. :3 [16:20:04] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-75-17-56-242.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: :D) End of #Exalted buffer Sat Jul 04 10:50:15 2009
