@Frank Saves you the trouble of finding a new job, if nothing else.

@Wipqozn True.

@MattGiltaji It's a local IT firm. No India for me.

Plus, the expectations between company and employee are very different, and more in line with what I actually expect, due to it being an IT company, not a manufacturing one.

@MattGiltaji I can be a healer in this game?

@Unionhawk You'll need to boycott the other 18 states with similar laws too. In fact, you're almost surrounded there in Ohio now!

GnomeSlice

5:22 PM

The only way I know how to do that is to keep fixing it until it learns it

Unionhawk

@Sterno it's different because the Indiana law is broader.

GnomeSlice

That's how it knows fuct

It even corrects to fuct now

Sterno

I haven't bothered to read about it, really, because I just assumed it was stupid and shouldn't exist

And since popular opinion is on that side, I don't need to fact check!

MBraedley

Shit, I didn't record a parameter that I should have recorded last week while on trials. Hopefully it got recorded in another location.

@Wipqozn Lasers don't work all that well under water.

murgatroid99

5:27 PM

@Sterno I didn't even realize it was that broad. It looks like you can discriminate against anyone as long as you say "religious freedom". I don't see any way that could go wrong

Unionhawk

Also apparently it had an old pre tab completion correction of @saintwacko

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk Yay, I'm awesome!

Unionhawk

@murgatroid99 yes, it includes cases between two private parties, whereas all other RFRAs require one of the parties to be a government entity. Or something like that.

Ktash

@Yuuki That will be interesting

Matt Giltaji

@Flyk yes, the priest class gets several spells to restore endurance, which is the equivalent of healing in combat. as far as i can tell, actual hit point damage can only be healed through the resting mechanic.

Is violetta a gothic name

Rapitor

@GnomeSlice maybe? what's your definition of gothic

Sterno

I'd just go with Blood Boner

MadMAxJr

After an hour of play, I haven't managed to conquer the mob of people down the bloody street yet.

Then I learned I started the game with blood echoes that I promptly lost. So I should start over.

GnomeSlice

You can get like 1k blood echoes just by getting to the mob and going back

Sterno

I would not get terribly bothered about losing your starting blood echoes

You can't level up until you either explore the sewers and use an item you find there, or find the first boss (and probably die)

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice I'd give you something to generate Victorian names, but they all do steampunk names, which isn't appropriate in the context

Sterno

Just spend your early echoes on better armor

GnomeSlice

5:40 PM

Also my friend says to run past the mob but you can just aggro a few at a time and take them up the stairs

MadMAxJr

I should probably figure out what the gigantic switchblade thing does differently when folded and opened up.

GnomeSlice

And then get smushed by the shrek with the big rock

Opened up is more reach, slower speed

MadMAxJr

There's that fat thing with the axe behind the cart, pretty much learned not to try that thing yet.

GnomeSlice

The damage doesn't seem noticeably better to me when open

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice would you say that you got... Shrekt?

GnomeSlice

5:42 PM

There's nothing past that thing either as far as I can tell

Frank

Now to figure out what to do in celebration of raise.

Matt Giltaji

@Unionhawk gtfo

MadMAxJr

The switch seemed to be effective in combat. I'd start the first hit with the razor folded up, then hit the transform button to flick it on the second strike. That usually dazes the random mob guys or kills them.

I'm mildly curious about the third weapon option. There was the axe, the scythe thing, and then..... a cane?

Arperum

Didi I mention this month being horrible yet?

Unionhawk

I mean, your head armor options include a goddamn top hat

GnomeSlice

5:43 PM

The cane turns into a whip

Arperum

My front usb is dead. As in PC doesn't boot if connected to MOBO class dead.

Unionhawk

A cane is not out of the question

Mad Scientist

The cypher ability mental binding is rather awesome, or even overpowered. Makes a whole group of enemies an easy target for any AoEs and partially removes them for a short while from the battle

Unionhawk

Also that sounds badass

Matt Giltaji

@MadScientist what level is that one?

Mad Scientist

5:44 PM

@MattGiltaji 2nd

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum fun times, at least it sounds like just a front peripheral thing and not a mobo thing

Matt Giltaji

@MadScientist hmm, i wonder if i took it

MadMAxJr

I noticed that in the Bloodborne scenery. There are many abandoned hats on the ground. :(

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden In my figuring shit out itme, my pizza also was in the over for too long, and I bent a pin on the MOBO, so even if I replace the case it can't be fixed ever.

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum meh, you can fix bend pins usually

Mad Scientist

5:46 PM

The main target is paralyzed, all others are stuck. Even stuck lowers deflection and Reflex by -20

Kevin van der Velden

Carefully insert a PIN card or similar between the pins (from the sides)

Matt Giltaji

@MadScientist oh yeah i love that one

GnomeSlice

I wonder what the length contrasts on names are in Bloodborne

Matt Giltaji

i'm bad with the spell names still

GnomeSlice

Constraints

Arperum

5:46 PM

@KevinvanderVelden Except I think my unbending tries might have broken it, or trying to bend it anymore will certainly break it...

Kevin van der Velden

Unionhawk

GnomeSlice

I like to make my people in souls look like npcs like 'merciless roenna' or whatever

Wayfarer Alva is my knight in ds2

Te constraints are so bad though you can't even do 'witch zullie' I don't think

How many weapons are there in Bloodborne

I assume it's more than the three you get to choose from at the start?

Unionhawk

Several?

That's just starter Pokemon right

Unionhawk

Yes

Someone I watch is using what looks like a giant metal hammer with an inscription on it

MadMAxJr

It's gonna be a while before you see a 'good' LP of Bloodborne. Even some of the Dark Souls veterans are having a little trouble.

djsmiley2k

surely that's part of the fun :O

Unionhawk

Yeah, it's... Yeah

MadMAxJr

Honestly it's not the dying that's so bad. It's the 45 second to one full minute loading screen on death.

djsmiley2k

6:12 PM

Youch that's not so cool.

MadMAxJr

That is more punishment than anything. Even TF2 is generally shorter than that for respawns. (comparing apples and oranges, yes)

Unionhawk

Last I checked, Zisteau is stuck on a boss with an instakill

murgatroid99

@MadMAxJr That's terrible

Unionhawk

(probably not technically an instakill, but it does so much damage that it effectively is)

djsmiley2k

/me suddenly doesn't buy.

MadMAxJr

6:12 PM

@murgatroid99 I haven't seen anything official, but friends tell me this is considered a known issue for the game and is being looked into.

Unionhawk

And yes, load times are atrocious

MadMAxJr

I was surprised there was no install option to help reduce disc load. I guess the only way around that is to buy the digital edition. Even then, I'm told unless you replaced your PS4 HD with an SSD, it's still taking forever on load.

Unionhawk

@MadMAxJr that's worse than apples and oranges, that's comparing load times to respawn times.

murgatroid99

@StrixVaria I'm still entertained by the guy who invaded me in DS2, used enemies to distract me while he healed, then said I was bad at the game when I killed him using only regular sword swings

Unionhawk

Tf2 doesn't need to load, it just implements an arbitrary respawn time.

MadMAxJr

6:17 PM

Could be worse. At least Bloodborne doesn't artificially inflate the delay for increasing amounts of death over time. That would be awful.

murgatroid99

@MadMAxJr Everyone would just stop playing

StrixVaria

@MadMAxJr To me, "good" just means entertaining, not necessarily skillful. Good commentary and editing can make up for the rest.

MadMAxJr

@StrixVaria Editing will be key on LPs of this.

@StrixVaria Cut to Markiplier with a 30 minute reel of: AAAUGH Dead Repeat

StrixVaria

@MadMAxJr I saw a brief video of a guy just stringing his deaths to some boss together, and then after 5-6 it cut to him entering the boss room again. I was so hoping that it ended in another death and sequence of cuts, but it was his successful run.

MadMAxJr

Lets Plays are viewed as something of modern day Roman Coliseum in our home. Man vs. Beast/Machine. Cheer the blood. Boo the victories.

Oh and this room happened to be active

Frank

@DemCodeLines I'm not a fan of this reasoning.

DemCodeLines

6:38 PM

@Frank apologies

Frank

Just something to remember next time.

We don't mind helping, but there's a reason the sites exist; we're not here to do your research for you.

DemCodeLines

I understand, but I only asked because it was something as small as something that is very commonly used (but for some reason, I was unable to find on Google).

You know how you can't remember the word itself sometimes, but when someone says it, you know that's the one?

murgatroid99

@DemCodeLines Google search for "antonym of symbolic"

> serving as a symbol. antonyms: literal

Frank

@DemCodeLines Yeah, I get it. But when your only participation in chat is to get help, it kinda feels like being used.

DemCodeLines

sorry if I came across that way, that wasn't my intention.

Frank

6:44 PM

I know. But people draw on our goodwill when things like this happen, and they're much more likely to get a better reception when they respect our time.

I know I'm getting kinda tired of random people just showing up, and asking us to answer their questions.

I've seen some people spam the same question across several chat rooms, and that, especially, is going to get a chilly reception. Respect the site, and respect the users. Asking a question because a room is active doesn't do that.

DemCodeLines

Well, I wouldn't call myself "random people". I used to be here (occasionally talked) until about a year ago when I got busy with other stuff. That, by the way, is another reason I felt comfortable dropping in and asking.

Frank

@DemCodeLines I recall you being here a bit, but I don't recall you really sticking around a whole lot.

And when you reappear, and the first thing you do is ask us for help, it's like those friends that only call you up when they need your help.

DemCodeLines

was usually one of those guys who joined in and kept the window open in the background and read back and forth.
