  1. rhythmicBirdsong [RB] started pestering hadalCell [HC]
  2. [7:47 PM] RB: You seemed to really get into this song.
  3. [7:47 PM] RB: So I figured, it might be nice to give you a download and stuff.
  4. [7:48 PM] RB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo0twK2ZbLU
  5. [7:48 PM] RhymeBeat: (Ignore the fact that this is just a youtube video of the official song)
  6. [7:48 PM] RhymeBeat: (I wanted a link here for verisimmilitude I guess)
  7. [7:49 PM] Strat: ((Fair enough. I may or may not switch it out for a rickroll when saving the pastebin, though. No promises))
  8. [7:49 PM] HC: It speaks to me. I like this.
  9. [7:50 PM] RB: Portal songs are catchy, I give you that. GLaDOS's voice actress was actually trained in opera.
  10. [7:52 PM] HC: I did not know that. I am typically more partial to music that has not been synthesized as this one was.
  11. [7:52 PM] HC: In this case, I am willing to make an exception for your cover. I do like the topic.
  12. [7:53 PM] RB: Well I couldn't do the audio effects live in the first place. And the topic? Robots you mean?
  13. [7:55 PM] HC: I mean spite. I suppose her being a robot is a nice addition.
  14. [7:55 PM] RB: Ah spite, GLaDOS only learned her lesson upon letting it go.
  15. [7:55 PM] RB: She just wants her gone.
  16. [7:57 PM] HC: Indeed. In addition, the nature of excising her own memory of her opponent, so as to remain undefeated.
  17. [7:57 PM] HC: Inspiring. If you don't think too hard.
  18. [7:57 PM] RB: Giving up your humanity is inspiring? Guess you're one of those transhumanist people.
  19. [7:57 PM] RB: Different strokes and all that.
  20. [7:58 PM] HC: In a way. I am not afraid of turning into something new, at least.
  21. [7:59 PM] HC: I was still referring to spite, however.
  22. [7:59 PM] RB: I'm not a spite type of person. Of course it helps that I don't often remember the people who've wronged me.
  23. [7:59 PM] RB: I struggle with names and faces sorta.
  24. [8:01 PM] HC: I suppose that is one way to manage distaste for certain people.
  25. [8:01 PM] HC: In the act of forgetting, GLaDOS denies Chell her victory in the pettiest of ways. It is a hollow victory when one's opponent recognizes no loss.
  26. [8:01 PM] RB: Her goal was to get out of there.
  27. [8:02 PM] HC: I disagree.
  28. [8:02 PM] RB: I don't think she really cares what happened to GLaDOS.
  29. [8:02 PM] RB: That's the thing with silent protagonists I guess. You project yourself onto them.
  30. [8:05 PM] HC: If you acknowledge the subtext, there are severely caliginous signals sent by GLaDOS. It is not an unreasonable act for one in such a situation to lose sight of one's opponent's stated goals, in favour of the implied.
  31. [8:06 PM] RB: Caliginous? I do admit your interpretation is interesting.
  32. [8:06 PM] HC: I will acknowledge that not everyone is of the mind to pay attention to such things.
  33. [8:06 PM] HC: I am.
  34. [8:07 PM] RB: I mean, I suppose there are dark undertones to this kinda love hate relationship, but that's an odd word to use.
  35. [8:07 PM] HC: Is it?
  36. [8:08 PM] RB: You basically said she sent dark signals. Is this some kind of metaphor?
  37. [8:09 PM] HC: It is not.
  38. [8:09 PM] RB: OK, so what is its literal meaning? I'm sorry if I sound dense.
  39. [8:10 PM] HC: It means pitch black.
  40. [8:10 PM] RB: Yeah, like dark hatred? That kinda thing.
  41. [8:11 PM] HC: Indeed.
  42. [8:11 PM] RB: Maybe this is some kind of cultural thing. Where are you from?
  43. [8:12 PM] HC: It is a long story.
  44. [8:12 PM] HC: I would rather not specify.
  45. [8:13 PM] RB: Fair enough, you don't have to reveal everything to people you're talking to.
  46. [8:13 PM] RB: If I had my way I wouldn't post my real name on streams. But since I lost my old youtube channel it forced me into making this a social media type thing.
  47. [8:14 PM] RB: Honestly, not every platform needs to be Facebook.
  48. [8:22 PM] HC: I agree. It is unreasonable how much information is required to do something as simple as enjoy music.
  49. [8:24 PM] RB: But you managed to get a username on youtube. Might have been in a less stupid period of the fricking website.
  50. [8:25 PM] HC: It is a relatively recent one.
  51. [8:25 PM] HC: I understand your point.
  52. [8:25 PM] RB: I mean we are in agreement.
  53. [8:26 PM] RB: Honestly I'm afraid that someday one of the jerks at school will show up in my streams.
  54. [8:26 PM] RB: And start pulling... Stuff.
  55. [8:26 PM] HC: Is that a genuine possibility?
  56. [8:27 PM] RB: It's unlikely. I'm not the biggest streamer around. But if they bothered to search for my channel, I might be at risk.
  57. [8:27 PM] Strat: ((Really quick, would Kara have posted any pictures to this account?))
  58. [8:28 PM] RhymeBeat: (Nah, she has a picture of a pigeon as her avatar)
  59. [8:28 PM] Strat: ((Naturally))
  60. [8:28 PM] RhymeBeat: (And doesn't use anything but game footage)
  61. [8:28 PM] RhymeBeat: (Yep, her shirt icon.)
  62. [8:28 PM] Strat: ((Makes sense. I figured, just making sure))
  63. [8:31 PM] HC: I see. It may be advisable to change your handle as a preemptive measure against such an event.
  64. [8:31 PM] RB: Would be ideal. It's far harder than it should be but with enough research maybe.
  65. [8:32 PM] HC: Is it? I would think the website would have an option to do so.
  66. [8:33 PM] RB: I'm sure there is, but I can't find it. The interface confuses me.
  67. [8:34 PM] HC: Interfaces do have that tendency.
  68. [8:34 PM] HC: I would kill for something more intuitive.
  69. [8:36 PM] RB: I'll figure it out someday I suppose. I hope by then they don't find me.
  70. [8:37 PM] RB: And it sucks that I don't really know who they actually are.
  71. [8:38 PM] HC: Is that so? Individuals from meat space and you do not know them? If they have not found you online, I fail to see how they remain hidden from you.
  72. [8:39 PM] RB: Poor face and name memory. Unless I interact with someone a lot, they just blend into the crowd.
  73. [8:39 PM] RB: Autism sucks sometimes.
  74. [8:40 PM] HC: I am sure it must. I offer you my sympathies. It is never easy to see things from a different perspective than others.
  75. [8:43 PM] RB: Even just getting excited weirds people out. And sometimes I just get hyper from what's going on in my own head.
  76. [8:45 PM] HC: In a society where poise and elegance are practically worshipped, any display of emotion or free will results in ostracism. It only makes it worse.
  77. [8:45 PM] HC: I do not understand it.
  78. [8:45 PM] RB: It's more about body language than language language.
  79. [8:48 PM] HC: Is it?
  80. [8:48 PM] RB: It's called stimming. It looks to random hand flapping to people and stuff
  81. [8:49 PM] HC: Illuminate me. I am unfamiliar with this concept.
  82. [8:50 PM] RB: Like a bird moves wings, I often move my arms and stuff.
  83. [8:50 PM] RB: That's where the whole bird thing started.
  84. [8:51 PM] HC: I see. It is a fitting icon. Irritating in person, I would presume.
  85. [8:52 PM] RB: I keep getting weird looks. Its part of why I don't like to show up on camera.
  86. [8:53 PM] RB: It's getting late here.
  87. [8:54 PM] HC: I see. I will allow you to sleep.
  88. [8:54 PM] HC: I offer my condolences for your lot in life. Isolation is a bitter wine.
  89. [8:54 PM] HC: I also offer you my thanks for the video. I like it.
  90. [8:55 PM] RB: Talk to you later! You're actually quite a good listener
  91. [8:55 PM] RB: Sorry for dominating the conversation.
  92. [8:56 PM] HC: It will be so.
  93. rhythmicBirdsong [RB] ceased pestering hadalCell [HC]
