07:17 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:36 <@Mirage> um, yeah...so talent for spawning 2x cabbages when you drop one + FANGS III clothing trait (significantly increases cabbage dmg) and one toss will almost completely kill a L30 troll
07:36 <@Mirage> W/o assistance
07:38 < Evilpig> I haven't gotten clothing traits yet.  damnit
07:38 < Evilpig> but I did finally get that talent thing
07:38  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:40 <@Mirage> Tossing a couple into a camp w/ a bunch of goblins kiinda reminds me of the chucky scene from Ready Player One
07:40 < aestetix> man
07:40 < aestetix> I really do wonder if Zuckerberg watched that movie and decided to rename facebook

09:33 <@opticron> god, what a clusterfuck that whole situtaion is
09:33 <@Dolemite> "We don't need to regulate industry, it will regulate itself!"
09:33 <@Dolemite> Exhibit A:  Palestine, OH
09:37 <@opticron> yeah, the regulation here will be the rioting of the people at the railroad exec
09:37 <@opticron> s
10:26 < dasunt> I mostly missed the Ohio derailment story.
10:27 < dasunt> But hey, remember when our leadership decided that we shouldn't allow railroad workers to strike for better working conditions?
10:30 <@opticron> I'd hope everyone now sees why that was a stupid decision, but that's too big of a wish
11:20 < Evilpig> there was a second big derailment yesterday in TX too

11:24 <@Dolemite> It was Mirage's fault
11:45 <@Mirage> I nevered believe that thing about putting a penny on a train track causing a derailment, sorry...
11:47 <@Dolemite> at least now you've got a nice and flattened penny
12:33 < Evilpig> if he can find it under the wreckage
13:06 < Evilpig> what the actual fuck did I just watch?  https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/667216

13:15 <@Dolemite> well, time to take the pooch out for a quick bathroom break and then head over to the dentist.   Ciao, folks.
13:40 <@Mirage> Score another one for Amazon. One of the two orders that didn't show Sun showed yesterday, other was still showing "running late" as of a few minutes ago so I finally just cancelled it and reordered another one.  When I clicked on Returns & Orders it now shows the second from Fri out for delivery "2:15-5:45".
13:59 < dasunt> Almost 2pm.
13:59 < dasunt> Before I started to embrace the hate.
15:39 < Evilpig> Dolemite: your ears burning?
16:02 <@Mirage> Slapped my new 2T m.2 SATA drive in to replace the NvME that was installed in the second m.2 slot on the board, then put the NvME in a PCIe Adaptor card and stuck it in the 3rd PCIE slot (which it was previously blocking from use thanks to the BIOS)
16:03 <@Mirage> Now I'm using the handy migration ability of steam to shift games I play more often off from NvME to SATA and vice versa.   
16:04 <@Mirage> Hogwarts was on a normal SATA SSD before.  Maybe being on NvME will improve load times a bit when using the floo network
16:06 <@Mirage> oh, yeah... quite noticeably faster
16:27 < Evilpig> nice
17:16 <@Dagmar> I wasn't amused there was exactly no way to cheese around the download for that
17:16 <@Dagmar> You know how usually you can start the download, stop it, kill steam, copy the files in, start steam up and it just goes straight to checking the files...
17:17 <@Dagmar> That didn't work because of the pre-load cache step, and no stunt I pulled would make it accept that the pre-load cache was already populated

17:33 <@Mirage> On a sep note.. it's windy as hell today.. Avg 25.9mph, highest gust (so far) 42.3mph
18:40 <@Dagmar> We gon' get some rains tonight
19:33 <@Mirage> L33 and finally decided to do the second trial.  Mostly because I'm hitting a wall on several things w/o having done it.
19:34 <@Mirage> 3 unspent talent points that I'm not sure what I wanna do with.
21:14 <@Mirage> 2nd trial, if you haven't done it, was mostly intresting puzzles.  The first fighting wasn't so bad, last one was more annoying than anything w/ mobs being invisible depending on which side of the portal you ran through.
21:32 <@Mirage> I really hate this guy, so I find this vid extremely amusing.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJaJacOZpwI&ab_channel=AsmongoldClips

22:26 <@Dagmar> Okay.  I'm not going to pretend this is anything but 100% ass backwards but just humor me.
22:27 <@Dagmar> If you're using nVidia, go into the GeForce Experience utility and have it "optimize" your settings for Hogwart's Legacy now that it has a profile for the game
22:27 <@Dagmar> The goddamn thing says it'll set almost everything to 'Low', and it _does_
22:27 <@Dagmar> ...and then for NO FUCKING REASON WHATSOEVER the game looks 100% better.
22:28 <@Dagmar> Audra's reaction was "Everything is in HD now"
22:28 <@Dagmar> Volumetric fog is behaving
22:28 <@Dagmar> dafuq
22:41 <@Dagmar> Seriously, this is an extra larege bag of WTF
22:44 <@Mirage> Maybe I should have left the settings on low instead of messing with them then
22:46 <@Mirage> Mine looked better at the higher settings and such I'd put them at.  Which card are you using?
