00:04.48 | AceOfSpace | Hi. |
00:05.03 | AceOfSpace | I actually came here to talk to Angrybirds regarding something, but he seems to be away. |

00:10.51 | TekDroid | Hello Firebar. |
00:10.52 | AceOfSpace | Indeed. |
00:12.38 | TekDroid | How's things been? |
00:15.33 | AceOfSpace | TekDroid: ...are you asking to me or to Firebar? |
00:15.39 | TekDroid | You. |
00:16.43 | AceOfSpace | Oh. |
00:17.00 | AceOfSpace | Well, mainly okay. Had troubles here and there, some harsher than others, but so far I'm okay. |
00:17.34 | AceOfSpace | As you probably know, I now play Kerbal Space Program, so that helped me to boost my knowledge of space travel a bit. |
00:17.57 | Wormy | Did you get those Sim expansion packs you wanted |
00:18.03 | AceOfSpace | Only four |
00:18.24 | AceOfSpace | Late Night, High-End Loft, Ambitions and Master Suite |
00:18.33 | AceOfSpace | But The Sims 3 is currently in my old computer, which is unplugged as of now. |
00:18.43 | AceOfSpace | I don't want to install Origin on my new computer. |
00:18.57 | TekDroid | That's too bad. |
00:19.14 | AceOfSpace | Well, it's alright. I have some other things in my new computer |
00:19.33 | AceOfSpace | One of them is a copy of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, which I lost for several years |
00:19.58 | AceOfSpace | Amazingly, there's still a community that plays the game after such a long time. It's small, but it's something. |
00:20.03 | TekDroid | Always nice to find an old favourite. |
00:20.09 | AceOfSpace | Yeah. |
00:21.35 | TekDroid | I think Angrybirds is around here somewhere if you're looking for him. |

00:23.23 | AceOfSpace | Huh. |
00:23.34 | AceOfSpace | Interesting. |
00:24.55 | AceOfSpace | Now that I readed the synopsis, I double my statement. |
00:26.46 | AceOfSpace | Heh, if I saw that one year ago, I'd have no clue about what half the countries listed there are. |

00:33.31 | AceOfSpace | Hi, Jackal |
00:34.32 | TekDroid | Katar's map has changed a lot since you were last here. XD http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140513030233/spore/images/9/92/Tek_Katar.png |
00:36.32 | AceOfSpace | TekDroid: What's that big dark spot to the east? |
00:36.49 | TekDroid | where Watcha subsector used to be. |
00:36.57 | AceOfSpace | Well... what happened to it? |
00:37.09 | TekDroid | the NCKU's successor screwed up badly. XD |
00:37.33 | AceOfSpace | I need more details. :p |
00:38.21 | TekDroid | The KEG (NCKU sucessor) tried to make a wormhole. The rest should be obvious from the map. :P |
00:38.27 | AceOfSpace | ....I see. |
00:38.47 | AceOfSpace | Well, some of the Drodo were also inevitably destroyed during the process, obviously. |
00:38.54 | TekDroid | And FPC. |
00:39.19 | TekDroid | Also Aeons disappear, Ezlangei collapses, amd the Gargator are conquered. |
00:39.23 | AceOfSpace | I didn't know they had a colony in the Watcha subsector. |
00:39.35 | AceOfSpace | Ah. |
00:39.40 | AceOfSpace | That explains the mysterious lack of empires. |
00:39.49 | TekDroid | FPC and Drodo occupied the region after conquering the NCKU. |
00:40.02 | TekDroid | *NKCU |
00:40.15 | AceOfSpace | Oh. |
00:40.40 | TekDroid | Also Farengeto and Drodo now have colonies in the Quadrant galaxies. |
00:41.22 | AceOfSpace | Ah. Further expansion, I see. |
00:41.28 | AceOfSpace | About time. |
00:41.40 | TekDroid | Oh, and the lightning war ended with Tarkans gaining in lower Katar but released Miperiors and Amphibibots. |
00:43.33 | AceOfSpace | Figured. |
00:43.54 | AceOfSpace | They can finally, at last, rejoice with sweet freedom |

01:34.05 | DrodoEmpire | test |
01:34.46 | TekDroid | hey DrodoEmpire |
01:36.05 | TekDroid | So now that Farengeto has expanded into the quadrants, can they expect the friendly relations from the Drodo that existed between their parent nations in Katar? |
01:41.09 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
01:41.52 | DrodoEmpire | At least to begin with; If the Farengeto do anything to piss off the colonials or cut into there trade then it might be a different story. XD |
01:42.06 | TekDroid | Of course. :P |
01:42.50 | TekDroid | But Quadrantia Farengeto still has to buy the hyperdrive so they're not exactly the next warmonger. XD |
01:43.27 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
01:44.36 | DrodoEmpire | "If I had Canadian soldiers, British officers, and American technology, I could conquer the world." - Winston Churchill |
01:45.05 | TekDroid | Sounds fairly accurate. |

02:15.37 | DrodoEmpire | Not to mention countless Byzantine armies; All of these battles and he only usually had untrained peasents at his disposal; Maybe with a few regulars mixed in here and there |
02:22.37 | TekDroid | O.o How is that even possible? |
02:23.54 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno, but he did it. |
02:23.56 | DrodoEmpire | XD |
02:24.40 | DrodoEmpire | Likely through luck, charisma, and before-then untapped genius. |
02:25.30 | DrodoEmpire | Seeing as before he got all pissed-off about the mongols raiding every few months and destroying his livelyhood, he was a pig herder. |

03:32.24 | Angrybirds | The Farengeto could get a Drodo or French battlestation set up in the middle of their territory for protection and to serve as a commercial base, kind of like the Franco-Hal'Sk Station Q8? |
03:33.03 | Angrybirds | Nante-class stations pack quite a bit of firepower, requiring entire fleets to destroy one. |

04:27.55 | GD12 | I just made it a change in one of the Tyranny's fic pages |
04:28.26 | GD12 | I like how some things are random polygons and others are right triangles or crcles |
04:28.38 | GD12 | Also nice map |
04:28.53 | Angrybirds | Dino made the Quadrant 82 map, originally. xD |
04:28.55 | GD12 | I wish I could do some astrography but I can't use paint and Dominatus will eventually lose all their colonies so no point |

04:33.41 | GD12 | Aye, so great coat for 4 meter tall cyborgs |
04:33.52 | TekDroid | Well IC and OOC I describe Katar as going from a golden period to imperialism in theory controlled by a bureaucracy over around 5 years. XD |
04:33.55 | GD12 | I'm just going to admit it - I had a nap and got a Killzone themed dream |

04:36.45 | TekDroid | But really all the really power in Katar is being wielded by a few empires like the Farengeto, Drodo, GTE and FPC. |
04:37.18 | GD12 | aye |

04:42.24 | TekDroid | Interesting |
04:50.07 | Angrybirds | Whoa, that's a real thematic departure there. |
04:50.49 | GD12 | hao so? |
04:51.10 | Angrybirds | The Tyranny isn't usually so... human. |
04:51.43 | GD12 | nicht thats not it |
04:52.15 | GD12 | Fictionwise it says the officerwear is a homage to the officer uniforms worn during the Drakdoominatus Wars of Uniifcation |
04:52.39 | GD12 | And are completely aesthetic |
04:53.38 | TekDroid | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Farengeto_Republic#The_Ardev_Administration Added a little quote to this |
04:53.39 | Angrybirds | Ah, that makes sense. |
04:54.12 | GD12 | Actually I'll probably edit that in so its more clear |
04:54.16 | GD12 | Thanks for bringing that up |
04:54.22 | Angrybirds | TekDroid : It fits in very well, I could imagine that echoing in a large senate room very clearly. |
04:57.07 | TekDroid | thank you. |
05:02.25 | ImpyDroid | GD12: A Helghast? |
05:02.41 | ImpyDroid | My dad LOVED Killzone |
05:03.22 | GD12 | aye that was a Helghast Officer hur |
05:04.33 | GD12 | Shown as reference because I plan on giving the Dominatus cyborg (chiliarch) officers a trenchcoat and officers cap like that to mark them as officers. IC because its a homage to officer uniforms during the Drakodominatus Wars of Unification and just aesthetic, OOC because I think its cool |
05:11.05 | ImpyDroid | Just how humanoid were they pre-dominatus? |
05:11.19 | ImpyDroid | As far as I remember they were still fairly reptilian |
05:14.21 | GD12 | let me find a picture |
05:14.42 | GD12 | http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130124114856/spore/images/2/25/DrakodominatusPortrait.png |
05:15.29 | GD12 | so yes, fairly reptillian |
05:17.34 | ImpyDroid | Also fat hur |
05:18.21 | GD12 | aye |
05:18.43 | GD12 | im badat the creature editor so i didnt know how to make them look muscular |
05:18.49 | GD12 | so i neded up making the mfat |
05:19.02 | GD12 | which is why i had jepardi make the Dominatus creature model |
05:21.38 | GD12 | so this looks much better http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121027152035/spore/images/9/9d/Dominatus_%28gift%29.png |

10:59.46 | Liquid_Ink | ImpyDroid: I dunt get it |
11:00.51 | Monet | Then again I suppose giving a man who believes mutantkind is a threat to normal humanity because of their inherited abilities adds to a layer of complexity when he himself is a bearer of a mutation. |
11:11.11 | Monet | I keep doing that |
11:12.26 | Monet | On a different note, I'm wondering if Draonoggr blur the line between greater and lesser Keldhoros |
11:13.20 | Monet | They're easily the largest examples of keldhoros and can stand on two and four legs interchangeably. |
11:15.43 | OluapPlayer | Loron Corruptus are larger hur |
11:16.18 | Monet | Compared to younger draos yeah. |
11:16.22 | OluapPlayer | Size shouldn't matter for Greater Kelodhres |
11:16.37 | Monet | Draonoggr never stop growing |
11:18.47 | Monet | Most archons stand at 7-10 metres tall when on their hind legs and theoretically the current High Archon is roughly 20m tall |

11:21.29 | Monet | The main reason draos as big as the High Archon or the ancient sky drao are hrdly seen is because they're either killed in power bids, end up starving to death or spend most of their time in hibernation |
11:23.07 | Monet | One of the reasons why it may have been questionable to release the Ancient on that island is that due to his size, he needs to devour entire villages, plus livestock, in order to sustain himself. |
11:23.25 | Monet | on a regular basis |
11:24.17 | OluapPlayer | big glutton flying lziard |
11:24.19 | OluapPlayer | lizard even |
11:25.40 | Monet | Well its either that or he is always un the hunt for other large keldhoros to eat |
11:25.54 | Monet | Or poassibly the odd true drake |
11:26.24 | OluapPlayer | Poison Drake - ill give u indigestion faget |
11:26.55 | OluapPlayer | If he wanted large things to eat then he should've gone to Hyperion |
11:27.36 | Monet | I'm not sure where he's gone myself |
11:27.59 | Monet | Probably flying the length and breadth of koldenwelt to fatten himself up for another hibernation cycle |
11:30.07 | OluapPlayer | Granted flying all the way from the Forgotten Lands to Hyperion would probably take a few months |
11:30.09 | Monet | A Drao his size theoretically has a life of "sleep for decades/centuries, wake up, eat the population of an entire nation, fly to somewhere secluded, sleep" |
11:30.27 | OluapPlayer | And he'd have to fly over the ocean and I don't see that being very safe |

12:05.36 | Jepardi | Hi |
12:07.09 | Monet | BTW wormy, remember you said that the Oculus Rift may have been destined to have been a stepping stone of sorts? |
12:07.25 | Monet | I may have gotten your opinion wrong |
12:09.08 | Monet | In any case, I learned in Iceland that this exists http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-hands-on-with-project-morpheus |
12:09.22 | Monet | I might be a bit slow. Basically Sony's take on Oculus |
12:10.28 | Monet | I have a feeling that now Sony's developing a VR headset, the idea will either flop, or other companies like Microsoft will follow them |
12:11.31 | AdmiralPanda | why not both? |

12:12.35 | Monet | After a veritable string of crappy kinectgames, MS are still making money off the damn thing |
12:13.38 | Imperios | goddammit |
12:13.52 | Monet | Hi |
12:14.05 | Monet | Imperios: [13:10] <Monet> I have a feeling that now Sony's developing a VR headset, the idea will either flop, or other companies like Microsoft will follow them [13:11] <AdmiralPanda> why not both? |
12:14.16 | Imperios | Well |
12:14.20 | AdmiralPanda | after Steel Battalion I'm surprised any big titles are even considering the platform |
12:14.22 | Imperios | That's an interessting idea |
12:14.36 | Imperios | But I hate consoles with a passion so I| don't care hur |
12:14.51 | Imperios | I don't see the point of having an object that can do nothing but play games |
12:15.03 | OluapPlayer | Playing games |
12:15.03 | OluapPlayer | Duh |
12:15.12 | AdmiralPanda | ^ |
12:15.35 | Monet | Well Oculus was designed more for PC I think |
12:15.38 | Hachiman | Imperios is Pro-Xbone |
12:15.43 | Hachiman | Shameful |
12:15.48 | OluapPlayer | SHAMEFUR DISPRAY |
12:16.02 | Imperios | Xbones are still consoles hur |
12:16.07 | OluapPlayer | Imperios Monet: can we do Shirtless plot? |
12:16.08 | Monet | And once Microsoft start developing *their own* VR headset, we'll have VR headsets for PCs |
12:16.09 | Hachiman | Hardly |
12:16.10 | Imperios | PC master race |
12:16.17 | Imperios | Also |
12:16.20 | Imperios | Another thing |
12:16.29 | Monet | Oluap: I can |
12:16.30 | Imperios | I'm a MMORPG guy |
12:16.48 | Imperios | And MMORPGs are PC master race privilige |
12:16.53 | OluapPlayer | Imperios dangit |
12:17.10 | Imperios | MMO apartheid ftw |
12:17.21 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: A bit later, I am watching a video ATM |
12:17.26 | OluapPlayer | dum |
12:17.41 | Imperios | The video version of the album that inspired the Klaxxa, to be precise |
12:17.44 | Imperios | http://vimeo.com/58431554 you may watch too |
12:18.09 | Imperios | It's about a girl whose boyfriend has died |
12:18.15 | Imperios | *died |
12:18.59 | Imperios | So she took her body and reconstructed him with cybernetic transforming him into an undead robotic doll boyfriend |
12:19.19 | Imperios | *steampunk cybernetics |
12:19.29 | Monet | I don't see the point in people complainging about the Xbox and PS4 being multimiedia devices: I don't have the kind of disposable income to own both a PS3 *and* a blu-ray player. |
12:20.25 | OluapPlayer | It's probably because people expect videogame consoles to play videogames and not do things their TVs can already do |
12:20.30 | OluapPlayer | Priorities and such |
12:21.40 | Monet | So how come no one argues with PCs doing it when their original purpose was to be a platform for microsoft office? |
12:21.59 | OluapPlayer | dunno |
12:22.26 | OluapPlayer | I still would say people buy consoles for the games, not for the extra television-y features |
12:22.47 | Monet | And we are long past the days when phones were mainly used for calls and text messages |
12:23.58 | Monet | We live in an age of multipurpose telecommunication devices. I say adding television stuff to consoles is the next logical step |
12:24.43 | Monet | Plus playstation was doing stuff like providing internet browsing and watching films & TV before the xbone came out |
12:25.43 | Monet | Actually wait...I think most Americans are Xboxgamers |
12:25.46 | Hachiman | The fact of the matter is that you're paying for shit you don't want |
12:25.58 | Hachiman | I want to buy a console purely to play games, not do shit with my television |
12:26.17 | Hachiman | So I still have to pay for all those little intricacies that I'm never going to use |
12:27.05 | Monet | Yeah, when I visited a Gamestop in New York, they had either one wall for playstation stuff and an *entire basement* for Xbox stuff. |
12:27.22 | Monet | (remove the "either" |
12:29.26 | Imperios | OluapPlayer and Hachiman: Alyona and I fancied the possibility of using the Death Note to destroy mosquitoes |
12:29.45 | Hachiman | You don't know the names of any mosquitoes |
12:29.52 | Hachiman | Thus the Death Note is ineffective |
12:29.52 | OluapPlayer | I don't get it |
12:30.08 | Monet | So perhaps there are Americans who were at E3 who didn't realise that the Xbox 360's chief rival already had the option to play movies and watch stuff like 4oD and BBC iPlayer. |
12:30.09 | Imperios | dum |
12:33.57 | Hachiman | Could you go through with me how to Okay ow just made my thumb bleed |
12:34.00 | Hachiman | woops |
12:34.07 | OluapPlayer | wat |
12:34.18 | Imperios | so you made your thumbs bleed while typing |
12:34.30 | OluapPlayer | I'm sorry I stuck it on thw wrong hole |
12:34.47 | Hachiman | I was gonna ask Panda if he could take me through levelling up but I decided to do it on my own and then I accidentally caused my thumb to bleed |
12:34.57 | AdmiralPanda | lolwut |
12:35.16 | OluapPlayer | Should've done that when Random was online |
12:35.38 | AdmiralPanda | well I'm available to take you through levelling up nao |
12:35.56 | OluapPlayer | I actually have a charisma modifier now |
12:36.22 | Monet | I like to look at it this way: Microsoft, like any good western capitalist corporation, wants to make the most money it possibly can. One of the best ways to do that with a long-life product like a console is to sell to as many people as you can. Thus, you need the broadest target market |
12:36.54 | Monet | One way of doing that is by making your product multipurpose. So you get more people with reason to want to buy such a thing |
12:36.57 | OluapPlayer | I need opportunities to roll for charisma hur |
12:37.47 | AdmiralPanda | intimidate/diplomacy people |
12:38.05 | Imperios | Hachiman: You rolled a natural 1 on your dexterity roll when filling levelling |
12:38.10 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: Speaking of which are we level 8 now? |
12:38.27 | OluapPlayer | Yes I'll intimidate everyone with my shy cleric girl |
12:40.27 | Monet | Intimidating people is mah job |
12:40.45 | AdmiralPanda | Imperios: yes |
12:40.54 | Imperios | rite |
12:40.58 | Imperios | Should I level myself too |
12:41.08 | AdmiralPanda | if you're up to it |
12:42.03 | OluapPlayer | http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/756/008/29d.jpg Clotholaire gets a 20 in intimidating |
12:42.20 | AdmiralPanda | lel |
12:43.25 | Monet | rolls a 20 -> still not intimidating |
12:44.24 | Monet | Look intimidating is about looking like you could very well fuck up the other person's day. |
12:45.13 | OluapPlayer | Hachiman AdmiralPanda: http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/763/794/358.png |
12:45.41 | OluapPlayer | Stupid sexy Pinwheel |
12:46.53 | Monet | Dwarves are good for this because while they may look short, they tend to be as wide as they are tall, which is mostly muscle |
12:47.11 | Imperios | I think I have a high intimidate modifier |
12:47.24 | AdmiralPanda | you just have charisma |
12:47.49 | Imperios | Doesn't being a half-orc give me an intimidation modifier? |
12:48.18 | Monet | Kolim has the highest I believe: +12 |
12:48.23 | AdmiralPanda | well yeah, but Kolim has like 8 ranks invested in the skill, and it's a class skill for him, so his intimidate gets way high |
12:48.38 | Imperios | Kolim - WHO DARES TO CALL ME SMALL |
12:49.00 | OluapPlayer | I just have 0 in the intimidate feat hur |
12:49.04 | OluapPlayer | skill even |
12:49.15 | OluapPlayer | But I do have 12 diplomacy |
12:49.41 | Imperios | I have +6 to initimidate |
12:49.52 | Imperios | So essentially Tsedbal is extremely skilled at scaring people into believing that he is really scary and evil and strong |
12:50.09 | Imperios | ...And then someone pokes him |
12:50.14 | AdmiralPanda | I wouldn't say extremely, but he has some skill in it |
12:50.27 | Imperios | Yeah |
12:50.42 | Imperios | Still, it's funny that Tsedbal is good at scaring people |
12:50.48 | Imperios | With his "strength" |
12:50.59 | Monet | Also the fact he looks like his mother was ap ig lol |
12:51.17 | OluapPlayer | troll |
12:51.19 | Imperios | hur |
12:51.20 | AdmiralPanda | intimidate is more about force of personality unless you're using Intimidating Prowess |
12:51.31 | Monet | I built Kolim to be the kind of guy who would convince people to do what he asked by going "sit down, shut up or I fuck you up" |
12:51.36 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: Hm |
12:51.42 | Imperios | Remember that spell power feat I took? |
12:52.06 | Imperios | Does it improve my buffs/etc or just my normal spells? |
12:52.09 | Imperios | *my damage spells |
12:52.11 | AdmiralPanda | which one is this? |
12:52.16 | Imperios | lemme remember |
12:54.46 | Imperios | Empower Spell I believe |
12:55.06 | AdmiralPanda | look the feat up |
12:55.20 | Imperios | Yeah checked |
12:55.24 | Imperios | Now to check the spells |
12:56.48 | Imperios | Actually |
12:56.53 | Imperios | Can I swap that feat for another one? |
12:57.49 | Imperios | Still Spell, that's what I want to take |

13:23.35 | Monet | I wonder...since Draconis society has less emphasis or concern on the matters of intercourse, I wonder if they have an alternative for the f-word for phrases like "you have no --- clue" |
13:23.39 | Imperios | Wormy_: Zombies |
13:23.53 | AdmiralPanda | almost certainly |
13:24.02 | AdmiralPanda | that to Monet |
13:25.14 | Monet | Well, calling someone houseless is synonymous to the term "scum" in social context |
13:26.40 | Wormy_ | lol |
13:26.57 | Monet | Actually scratch that, "houseless" would be the expletive replacement for "scum": unsightly, getting in the way, clogging up society and doing nothing but living off the resources of others |
13:28.39 | Hachiman | Councillites? |
13:28.44 | Monet | Although for those wh odon't recall, "houseless" and "homeless" are very different terms |
13:28.59 | Monet | For draconis |
13:29.32 | AdmiralPanda | I suppose the closest equivalent for the Fordanta would be calling someone nameless (unless they actually are nameless), but any Fordanta actually in that situation is a corpse |
13:30.03 | Monet | AdmiralPanda: Yeah, houseless draconis live only by their firstnames. |
13:30.13 | Monet | Its a similarity |
13:30.32 | AdmiralPanda | well a nameless Fordanta hasn't found their place in society, so it's not necessarily a dishonour |
13:30.46 | AdmiralPanda | so similar but not quite the same |
13:31.33 | Monet | They get their bloodline and housen names taken from them. Meaning that culturally they have no family, no heritage, no standing and no lineage to call their own. |
13:33.28 | Monet | In a society where what clan you belong to means everything, for some this is the social equivilent of execution. |
13:34.06 | Monet | SO yeah, houseless would be synonymous with "scum" or "waste of space" |

14:22.25 | Wormy_ | I get this problem on STO sometimes |
14:22.37 | Wormy_ | after a big update, everyone piles on |
14:23.46 | Monet | That happens with WoW whenever a big new feature is released. |

14:30.52 | Monet | Actually Wormy this reminds me |
14:31.18 | Monet | I recall since Cataclysm Blizzard tracked "server firsts" for each server |
14:32.46 | Monet | Within a *few hours* of the launch of Cataclysm's servers, there were people who gained "first to 85" |
14:33.10 | Monet | Max level at the time |
14:35.50 | Wormy_ | lol there are a lot of over the top fustrations being posted atm |
14:36.22 | Wormy_ | and wow |
14:36.51 | Monet | And the date and time of the earning of said achievement is forever logged on World of Warcraft's website |
14:39.22 | Monet | One of the things Bioware was heavily criticised over in reviews and soon after launch was the lack of endgame content |

14:41.00 | drom | Hello. |
14:41.16 | Monet | My opinion: This is Bioware guys! The only ones to blame are yourselves for casually powering though the zones and the personal story |
14:46.26 | Hachiman | As much as I love Godzilla, I'm tempted not to go see this new film |
14:46.50 | Hachiman | Apparently it puts way too much focus on uninteresting, dull humans rather than the monsters |
14:47.56 | Monet | "uninteresting and dull" as in "bad acting or storyline" or as in "they're humans in a giant monster film" |
14:48.06 | Hachiman | Both |
14:48.30 | Hachiman | Most of the acting is apparently wooden or subpar and the storyline is meh |
14:49.09 | Hachiman | That and they're humans in a kaiju film thus a majority of the interest is already on Godzilla and friends |
14:49.09 | Wormy_ | I've heard it makes out the Americans to be really dumb, and the Japanese to be really clever |
14:49.51 | Hachiman | The thing is, humans don't affect kaiju like ever outside of mech stuff so having humans be a central focus is fucking stupid if they're not going to be interesting |
14:51.24 | Imperios | >I've heard it makes out the Americans to be really dumb, and the Japanese to be really clever |
14:51.25 | Imperios | Well |
14:51.35 | Imperios | Dat stereotypical |
14:53.30 | Wormy_ | Keep in mind it is made by americans |
14:53.59 | Monet | I know some people have their own opinions but I personally don't like the opinion of "humans suck because we are not special compared to the fantastic creatures we're seeing" |
14:54.00 | Wormy_ | stereotype or not, i kind of like it |
14:54.08 | AdmiralPanda | if it was made by Australians there'd be this crack team of Aussie badasses that have the highest record for kaiju hunting |
14:54.16 | Hachiman | hue |
14:54.18 | AdmiralPanda | except we didn't make Pacific Rim so dunno how that happened |
14:54.44 | Hachiman | Monet: When you go to see a "Kaiju" movie, you don't go to see the boring, dull humans |
14:55.02 | Hachiman | You go to see the fight scenes and the monsters and the destruction |
14:55.41 | Hachiman | What we got with Godzilla 2014 was just a military drama with Godzilla as a backdrop |
14:56.04 | Monet | Yeah true but the film's plot does make it excuseable that Humans would fucking do something about the giant monsters causing billions in collateral damage. |
14:56.24 | Hachiman | Except nothing they do effects the movie |
14:56.30 | Hachiman | Well, almost nothing |
14:57.10 | Monet | They do manage to achieve something in this film, but its spoilers |
14:57.45 | Hachiman | Something, but is that something worth watching an hour or so of Kick-Ass being boring for? |
14:57.58 | Monet | I wonder if some people are hating o nthis film because it's trying to be more than a $12 ticket to see booms and fighting. |
14:58.16 | Hachiman | But it's a kaiju movie |
14:58.24 | Hachiman | People WANT it to be booms and fighting |
14:58.59 | Hachiman | People didn't go see Pacific Rim for deeply-intricate personal relations and political struggles, they went to see giant robots punch giant monsters |
14:59.37 | Monet | Okay I'm backing out. |
15:00.21 | Hachiman | The director's previous movie, Monsters, worked fine because it was established as a human drama with random monsters as a backdrop which depicts the struggle of immigration and human nature |
15:00.44 | Hachiman | Godzilla simply doesn't work like that |
15:01.06 | Monet | You're right, shame on the director for giving his own take on the Godzilla franchise. |
15:01.42 | AdmiralPanda | both of you just drop it |
15:01.59 | Monet | I can't win this so I will |
15:02.16 | Hachiman | That's like saying you're justifying the Godzilla 98 American movie because it's somebody else's take |
15:02.31 | AdmiralPanda | hachi cut it out |
15:02.37 | Hachiman | Right |
15:03.48 | Wormy_ | Hachi: That is something that annoys me about a lot of sci-fi films now. Military drama |
15:04.08 | Wormy_ | Hopefully Jupiter Ascending and Interstellar are the way out |
15:04.12 | Hachiman | Aye |
15:04.34 | Hachiman | I just don't see why monster/sci-fi movies have to be so humanocentric |
15:04.49 | Hachiman | Or whatever it is |
15:04.50 | AdmiralPanda | it's so the human audience has something to connect to |
15:05.17 | AdmiralPanda | it's the same reason good sci-fi movies always have a character who has no clue what's going on, just so someone else has a reason to tell the audience what's going on |
15:06.58 | Monet | A monster is destroying a city, which location is going to have more impact: A random-arse city we know nothing about, or an iconic city where a human character (who the plot coerces us to connect to) happens to have a home, friends and family. |
15:07.19 | AdmiralPanda | what Hachi is getting at is the focus isn't on Godzilla when it's a Godzilla movie |
15:07.19 | Monet | I wonder if there is a clash of East and West going on. |
15:08.01 | Hachiman | I'll just say that Americans can't handle Japanese media right |
15:08.57 | Hachiman | It's funny because in any other case, you would expect Godzilla 2014 to include much more focus on the monsters because explosions and destruction etc etc |

15:10.11 | Wormy | Modern SF in TV and Film has died for the most part (games too, maybe). All we get is "erverything is an Ipod" looks and military pwning aliens/monsters/zombies |
15:10.50 | Imperios | I agree |
15:10.55 | Wormy | Today's generations have forgot their own dreams. They expect to be sold everything, and that is why everything looks like a bledey ipod |

15:11.53 | Wormy | Colleges in the UK, expect their students not to find their own path, but to simply tick off a system. This is a complaint I've had from most of my lecturers |
15:12.29 | drom | Wormy: Happy late birthday. |
15:12.30 | Wormy | We are heading to a 1984 esque world more and more if this trend continues |
15:12.33 | Wormy | Thanks |
15:13.40 | drom | Downloading warframe. So I'll be gone this evening. And I have to say the same for the rest of this week. |
15:13.49 | drom | Bye. |
15:14.22 | Monet | Wormy: Wen I was looking to apply for an art and design course, I had wondered abotu a college in Oxford. What I learned is that they do the same topics, projects and summer projects for specific years, year-in-year-out. The college I decided to go to was much more open and mixed. In my first year I saw projects by second-years that I never did |
15:14.47 | Monet | WHen I was in my second year |
15:15.39 | Wormy | Sci-fi just looks like this now http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/oblivion-2.jpg not this http://31.media.tumblr.com/5058454b2db28e51caebe6fcfed89063/tumblr_modc81goJp1sndzdgo1_1280.jpg or this http://coolvibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/vintage-sci-fi-art.jpg |
15:16.45 | Wormy | yeah open opportunity is better in a course |
15:17.01 | Monet | My summer project set before the start of my first year was "make a piece of art about a day during your summer holiday". Wheras in the college I oculd have applied to, they gave me a project brief complete with everything they expected I should bring in. |
15:17.14 | Hachiman | Sci-fi is really becoming same-y |
15:17.29 | Monet | And I had learned they'd been doing that particular project year-after-year |
15:17.52 | Monet | Some to think of it....that project was basically "draw a still life object using various media" |
15:18.08 | Monet | One piece of media for each drawn object |
15:18.56 | Monet | Wormy: Looking at those images I can see what you mean. And it makes me glad I'm into something like EVE |
15:19.05 | Wormy | Science fiction is about exploring the non-human condition |
15:19.23 | Hachiman | They should release a series of movies or shortfilms based on the Xeelee Sequence |
15:19.29 | Hachiman | I bet those would be a spectacle |
15:19.32 | Wormy | Star Trek 2009 film fell into this trap |
15:19.38 | Wormy | Definately |
15:19.50 | Wormy | In fact, Xeelee anime might be cool |
15:19.54 | Hachiman | Aye |
15:20.34 | Imperios | SporeWiki is perfect anime material |
15:20.46 | Monet | http://umluex.at/bilder/eve/EVE-ships.jpg Eve was released in 2003. The closest you get to "ipod" is the Gallente. Unsurprising when you realise they're esentially an empire of artists, filmmakers and performing arts students. |
15:21.09 | Imperios | Lots of crazy shit combined with complicated plots and complex themes |
15:21.44 | Wormy | yeah, they are good looking ships |
15:22.36 | Imperios | I am going for an Ipod-esque style with Divinarium technology, taking their spiritual side in consideration of course |
15:22.48 | Imperios | I imagine most of their technology |
15:22.51 | Imperios | Including clothing |
15:22.57 | Hachiman | I dunno if Halo is falling into the iPod trap |
15:22.59 | Imperios | Is made of solid holograms |
15:23.03 | Wormy | So Nowpunk basically |
15:23.12 | Imperios | Hachiman: Well they have that solid light thingie |
15:23.29 | Hachiman | The factions in Halo do have quite different aesthetics |
15:23.41 | Imperios | Well yeah |
15:23.41 | Wormy | I hope ipods will be zerust one day |
15:23.56 | Hachiman | Humans are more blocky and thick, Covenant are sleek and curvy |
15:24.03 | Imperios | Sleek and curvy |
15:24.12 | Imperios | I like your choice of words |
15:24.20 | Imperios | Fores have that solid light thingie |
15:24.56 | Wormy | Sci-fi art from the second Golden Age of Science Fiction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuMYV6e18VQ |
15:25.07 | Hachiman | The Tau in WH40K are pretty iPod |
15:25.07 | Wormy | This precedes the ipod |
15:25.19 | OluapPlayer | wuts that supposed to mean |
15:25.25 | Monet | I think the closest of my factions to ipod are the Theians. Civilian DI ships combineipod curvy with gold ornamentation. |
15:26.12 | Wormy | I'm glad most art on sci-fi books are still original |
15:27.10 | Wormy | Ipod theme actually comes from 2001 Space Odyssey, which in turn is inspired by space engineering |
15:27.19 | Wormy | It looked good back *then* |
15:27.30 | OluapPlayer | What do you all mean with ipods |
15:27.33 | Wormy | But now it has taken over we really need to move on |
15:27.48 | Imperios | Well that's what good with SporeWiki |
15:28.01 | Imperios | We have many different aesthetic mixed together |
15:28.03 | Wormy | How theme has taken over sci-fi art in the media industry at least |
15:28.08 | Wormy | ^3 |
15:28.24 | Wormy | That is one thing I love about it |
15:28.48 | Wormy | Oluap http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EverythingisaniPodintheFuture |
15:29.01 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: http://www.nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/oblivion-2.jpg Stuff like this |
15:29.09 | OluapPlayer | "Monochrome, shiny, sleek, and user-friendly." |
15:29.11 | OluapPlayer | Right |
15:29.34 | Imperios | I imagine DCP architecture to be a bit Stalinist, but also cyberpunk |
15:29.57 | Wormy | It is a bit like how I envision it |
15:30.02 | Wormy | *that is |
15:30.16 | Monet | I think every period in modern history has a group of people who provlaim "our modern lives are filled with whitewashed mainstream crap" |
15:30.47 | Wormy | But DCP cities flow like a living creature, buildings are assembling and dis-assembling, and everything is work towards optimisation... Which is sorta modern thinking I suppose :P |
15:30.54 | Imperios | Yeah |
15:31.34 | Hachiman | I still like the look of Giger's art as a basis for sci-fi |
15:31.42 | Imperios | He took drugs |
15:31.52 | Imperios | Try smoking weed and maybe you'll draw like him |
15:31.58 | Hachiman | Actually he suffered from night terrors |
15:32.00 | Wormy | The stargates in Stargate Atlantis and Universe were ipodish |
15:33.15 | Imperios | Hachiman: That too |
15:33.20 | Monet | Well there was something about him when he made stuff like this http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc2zec85Rj1rxmfxlo1_500.jpg |
15:33.40 | Imperios | The Alien's head was apparently made to look like a penis originally |

15:34.54 | Hachiman | Imperios: Penii and vaginas appear throughout Giger's work |
15:35.04 | Imperios | I am aware |
15:35.13 | OluapPlayer | dongs |
15:35.15 | Imperios | Kids, too |
15:35.17 | Hachiman | The Alien was intended to be a physical embodiment of rape |

15:35.31 | OluapPlayer | Kol - wow deres movies bout me? |
15:35.53 | Imperios | Wasn't it supposed to bring about fears of pregnancy and child rebelliousness too? |
15:36.14 | Wormy | Few months back I was watching a news topic on industry in China, and there was a technological scene in a factory. And I thought, "perhaps this is the new theme for the future" |
15:36.25 | Imperios | Also it's not "penii", it would be "penius" otherwise |
15:36.37 | Imperios | "penes" is the actual plural form |
15:36.38 | Wormy | it was cool, hard to describe, definately not ipodish |
15:36.40 | Imperios | nvm it's just me |
15:36.51 | Imperios | Wormy: Yeah true |
15:37.39 | Imperios | You know, although others were in favour of humanity unifying, I think that having several human factions would probably give it more diversity in terms of aesthetics |
15:37.48 | Monet | WOrmy: A lot of Eastern design innovation these days comes from Western talent |
15:38.48 | Imperios | I personally imagined ESR technology to be ipod-ish |
15:38.54 | Imperios | POTATO technology to be classical sci-fi |
15:39.17 | Imperios | Euraspact technology to be blocky but also shiny, akin to Soviet science fiction |
15:39.21 | Wormy | We must find a way to be tolerant and open minded with other cultures, to learn new things. But without being too relativist |
15:39.28 | Imperios | And East Asian Coalition tech to be cyberpunk |
15:40.42 | Wormy | Fjord League probably mixes a little traditionalism in |
15:41.13 | Imperios | Speaking of which, checking an image of Chinese factories gave me a few thoughts |
15:41.42 | Imperios | Imagine, if you please, a factory where mechanism and man is one |
15:42.13 | Imperios | Bodies, vivisected and pried to machines, hands like biological manipulars |
15:42.22 | Imperios | *arms |
15:42.45 | Monet | That's Giger's work in a nutshell |
15:43.39 | Imperios | Administration, isolated brains in jars with eyes and ears growing from the factory walls connected by wires of nerves covered by skin |
15:43.46 | Imperios | Et cetera et cetera |
15:44.09 | Imperios | I admit, the sight of a Chinese factory is slightly unsettling |
15:44.35 | Imperios | So I imagined it being brought to its logical perfection |
15:46.35 | Monet | Are you perchance imagining this as a pardoy to the Chinese Government's view on the value of human welfare? |
15:47.30 | Imperios | You could put it like that |
15:47.47 | Imperios | Strangely enough, I actually have a fetish for China |
15:47.58 | OluapPlayer | Strange choice of words |
15:48.08 | Imperios | Well I like Chinese stuff |
15:48.20 | Imperios | I love Chinese music and architecture, you can probably see some Chinese influence in my fic as well |
15:48.44 | Imperios | The Divinarium, for example |
15:48.57 | Monet | Ancient China or modern China? |
15:49.13 | Imperios | Mostly the former but the latter as well |
15:49.21 | Hachiman | I myself would think that Zazane are pretty oriental in their architectural style |
15:49.25 | Wormy | Eastern philosophy is a big inspiration to me. I'm not a Taoist or Buddhist but some of the lessons has helped me well |
15:50.08 | Wormy | And so, I have a sprinkling of Eastern thought. |
15:50.34 | Imperios | Ditto |
15:50.52 | Hachiman | Imperios: Could you make a Zazane with oriental/samurai-style armour plz |
15:50.59 | OluapPlayer | http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140527155046/spore/images/8/89/Mukharduuild.png speaking of aliens |
15:51.00 | Imperios | Hachiman: Sure hur |
15:51.14 | Imperios | I like the colouration |
15:51.27 | Imperios | Or Iovera's evil version |
15:51.40 | Hachiman | yey mukhar |
15:51.46 | Wormy | I love Chinese legends like the Monkey man |
15:51.57 | Imperios | Eolania has a lot of Chinese influences from her fan to her qipao-like dress |
15:52.18 | Imperios | As well as the whole "seductive devious criminal mastermind" schtick she has |
15:52.23 | Imperios | Fu Manchu anyone? |
15:52.28 | Imperios | Alright, minus the "Seductive" |
15:53.36 | Imperios | I swear I even described Eolania as having "almond-shaped eyes" at one point |
15:53.39 | Wormy | It is weird sometimes. I can spend a day thinking about things in scientific terms, then go to bed and meditate on the inner space |
15:53.44 | Imperios | Okay that makes me a bit of an asshole |
15:54.05 | Wormy | it is confusing and fustrating sometimes |
15:54.17 | Wormy | But in a few ways, there are similarities |
15:54.49 | Imperios | >Eolania stared right into Hachi, her purple, almond-shaped eyes shining with desire - probably not for the Rianth, though. dere |
15:55.47 | Monet | I have noticed everywhere that something is automatically interesting or attractive if its uncommon in our daily lives, or if its from somewhere we may never see. |
15:56.00 | Imperios | Exoticism fetish hur |
15:56.28 | Imperios | This applies to sexuality as welll |
15:56.54 | Monet | Yeah humans seem built to be fixated on what they don't normally have. |
15:57.17 | Monet | Same goes for culture. |
15:57.29 | Wormy | The unseen is a motivation for science. Many explanations involve phenomena that is unseen and incredibly counter-intuitive, but none-the-less hard to vary and thus closer to the truth |
15:57.45 | Monet | If a culture is peculiar compared to yours in any way, its easy to be hooked and eventually assume it is superior to yours. |
15:57.48 | Hachiman | I personally don't like the appeal of "functional, sterile, efficient" aesthetic like the iPod, I like to have armour and battle-suits that have some decoration |
15:58.04 | Imperios | I combine the two styles |
15:58.15 | Wormy | What I like out of physics and hard SF is the non-anthropomorphic element |
15:58.44 | Imperios | Divinarium architecture is both built for functionality but has a great deal of decorative elements as well |
15:58.46 | Wormy | To have humans living on a neutron star, what is that like for them? |

15:59.56 | Imperios | You have to look into the past for it |
16:00.10 | Wormy | I really want to explore fantasy more |
16:00.22 | Wormy | But, i can;y but the SF down |
16:00.54 | Imperios | Well I use some of your stuff in my fic from time to time :P |
16:01.43 | Monet | One thing that draws me into the X-men franchise is that it explores the psychological curio that is "I wish I had that" |
16:02.18 | Monet | Mutants get cool powers like flight, rapid regeneration, teleportation, laser eyes, weather control, whatever...but they don't aways have a complete ball with it |
16:02.35 | Monet | Without those glasses Cyclops always wears, he'd incinerate everything he sees. |
16:03.47 | Wormy | One thing that draws me to psychonautic exploration is the weirdness experienced in meditation. There was a time when I wanted powers, however, once I had achieved some (or maybe I went insane), they made me ill |
16:04.09 | Monet | When Shadowcat's powers first manifested in one of the X-men cartoons, she was having a terrible dream and woke up in her basement after falling though everything between her bed and the basement floor. |
16:04.10 | Wormy | So I gave up with trying to obtain powers |
16:04.42 | Wormy | And instead concentrated on mindfulness and inner peace |
16:05.31 | Wormy | I had something like this at some point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini_syndrome |
16:06.16 | Wormy | Was it real, or just confused nerurons? I do not know |

16:09.41 | Imperios | Hachiman: Do you think the Sovereign has been named thus for the entirety of its history? |
16:09.58 | Imperios | Or did it have different names during the dragon war, during the human rebellion etc? |
16:10.24 | Hachiman | I imagine that once the humans were adopted it would have been the Sovereign |
16:10.33 | Hachiman | It would have had a different name during the time of the Oris |
16:10.55 | Imperios | rite |
16:11.54 | Imperios | I also thought about that guy that led the Sovereign during the dragon war and that was deposed following the human rebellion |

16:19.16 | Wormy | so I wouldn't advise swimming in it |

18:35.57 | Ghelae | Hello. |
18:36.10 | Imperios | To be put simply: Suraxmali began as a hero of the Sovereign but as the Circle relegated more power into him his pride kinda got in his head and he went full-Nero |
18:36.11 | OluapPlayer | Xho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guIaCocnNaw Santorakh played this while the team was at Insomnia |
18:36.34 | Xho | OluapPlayer: Exactly what ran through my head when I first heard it ur |
18:36.35 | Xho | *hur |
18:37.06 | OluapPlayer | The Hivemind Parable |
18:37.20 | Xho | deer gawd noh |
18:38.25 | Imperios | I just realised something |
18:38.28 | OluapPlayer | Now I can imagine the team making their way through the realm while Santorakh sudenly tells them to stop and stare at a cheese block because it'll be very important to the plot later on |
18:38.34 | Imperios | Hur |
18:38.43 | Imperios | All of my Fantasyverse female characters are highly attractive in-universe |
18:38.48 | Imperios | I need to make an ugly girl for once |
18:39.01 | OluapPlayer | That's subjective hur |
18:39.05 | Xho | OluapPlayer: There should be a second Insomnia plot called 'The Vekaron Parable' |
18:39.13 | OluapPlayer | Vekaron - FUCK |
18:39.31 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: Hence in-universe hur |
18:39.32 | OluapPlayer | Speaking of Vekaron, reggie yourself for Ice Age stoof |
18:39.40 | OluapPlayer | I'm just waiting for Hachiman_ to stop being dum |
18:39.43 | Imperios | Latar's attractiveness is somewhat debatable yes but she's meant to be cute |
18:39.49 | Xho | kay den |
18:39.59 | Monet | Xho: How clode does Idi Amin come to Caligula's level? |
18:40.15 | Monet | close* |
18:40.17 | Xho | Monet: Idi Amin was more brutal mad than Caligula's mad mad |
18:40.39 | OluapPlayer | I've heard this name often but I have no idea who he was |
18:40.42 | OluapPlayer | Caligula I mean |
18:40.46 | Imperios | Crazy roman dude |
18:41.03 | Monet | Like...really crazy |
18:41.05 | Imperios | His chief advisor was a horse and his wife was a statue of a goddess |
18:41.12 | OluapPlayer | wat |
18:41.17 | Monet | And he declared war on the sea |
18:41.24 | OluapPlayer | olol |
18:41.34 | Imperios | Hm |
18:41.40 | Imperios | Actually, now that I thought of it |
18:41.59 | Xho | There's a story that he unleashed a herd of lions on the audience in the Circus Maximus |
18:41.59 | Monet | Although more accurately I think he declared war on Neptune |
18:42.00 | Imperios | I'll probably make Suraxmali less "RAWR IMMA HITRU" evil and more crazy |
18:42.06 | Xho | Which was a colosseum of 250,000 people |
18:42.25 | OluapPlayer | nom |
18:42.43 | Monet | Caligula - Kittens for everyone! |
18:42.53 | Xho | There were other rumours that he frequently engaged in incest as well has having married 4 times to women who were already married |
18:43.24 | Imperios | Yes that |
18:43.24 | OluapPlayer | Woman - i have a husband Caligula - yeah, me. |
18:43.28 | Xho | There were other rumours that he would have made his most favourite horse a Consul |
18:43.33 | Imperios | He did |
18:45.03 | Xho | Though now I need to make a 'The X Parable' in Insomnia |
18:45.18 | OluapPlayer | The Nu Parable |
18:45.25 | Xho | Nu's already been in it |
18:45.29 | Xho | Needs a new character in it |

18:45.38 | Xho | Or characters |
18:45.40 | Xho | Dear lord |
18:45.48 | Monet | I was gonna suggest Sarec but he's already been there |
18:45.58 | OluapPlayer | "All of his rum was gone. What could it mean?" |

18:49.26 | Xho | Could do |
18:49.38 | Monet | Hmm he is already slightly unhinged |
18:49.38 | Xho | I think it needs more than one character to keep it interesting though |
18:50.03 | Xho | Mainly because Santorakh talking for 100% of it would be sort of boring |

19:01.47 | Xho | It means 'a long time' |
19:01.49 | Xho | Three years probably |
19:02.15 | OluapPlayer | If anything, if I lived in the UK I'd have far more control over when to do rps |
19:02.22 | Imperios | If Ice-Age was made in Impyland |
19:02.25 | OluapPlayer | Considering the other two participants are also from the UK |
19:02.40 | Imperios | It would be finished during the next ice age |
19:02.43 | Imperios | Literally |
19:02.47 | Monet | It was a joke on the length of Ice Age and the length of a british TV season |
19:02.49 | Imperios | *had been made |
19:02.52 | Imperios | *would have been made |
19:02.55 | Monet | British TV shows can last up to TEN episodes per season, and hardly have any filler. |
19:03.04 | OluapPlayer | u expect me to know about british TV |
19:03.10 | Monet | Most last for a whopping EIGHT per season |
19:03.13 | OluapPlayer | I don't even watch brazilian TV |
19:04.26 | Monet | Honestly I was more expecting Xho to get my jab at british tv |
19:04.30 | Xho | I did |
19:04.31 | Xho | Sort of |
19:04.33 | Xho | Not really |
19:04.36 | Xho | Nope no chance |
19:04.42 | Xho | I tried |
19:04.46 | Xho | I seriously tried |
19:04.46 | OluapPlayer | The hivemind doesn't go that deep hur |
19:05.27 | Monet | Well it is true that british television is still reasonably alien to "the filler" |
19:05.31 | OluapPlayer | For comparison, the entirely of the War of Vampires will also take roughly 20 sections |
19:05.39 | Monet | A series gets too few episodes to risk it. |
19:06.00 | Xho | I wonder how many sections Tantum was before I killed it |
19:06.07 | OluapPlayer | Many |
19:08.44 | Monet | Yeah in terms of length, Ice Age is a lot longer than New Dawn |
19:08.58 | Monet | The whole of New Dawn, not just TND |
19:09.10 | Xho | Hachiman_: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vo53HytwmY The end has begun |
19:10.27 | OluapPlayer | Tantum has, not counting subsections, 61 sections |
19:10.39 | OluapPlayer | The number probably goes over a 100 if you count subsections |
19:11.46 | OluapPlayer | There's a large number of sections with 3 or more subsections |
19:11.51 | OluapPlayer | I was like "I ain't countin that shi" |
19:12.26 | Xho | hur |
19:12.41 | OluapPlayer | nnngh where's Hachi |
19:13.47 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: Hm I just thought of something |
19:14.03 | Imperios | Could Surxmali be the founder of the wyvern rider order? |
19:14.11 | Imperios | Or is it fire elf-only? |
19:14.27 | OluapPlayer | And the Ice Age, not counting subjsections, currently has 108 sections |
19:14.31 | OluapPlayer | Imperios: Fire elf only |
19:14.38 | Imperios | Ah |
19:14.40 | Imperios | Okay |

20:25.44 | Technodroid | I've been told it's boring, but considering how a lot of movie remakes go, that I shouldn't be surprised |
20:26.18 | Monet | I liked it. |
20:27.22 | Monet | Feels like I'm one of few peopel who does. |
20:27.23 | Technodroid | I can't judge of course since I've never seen it |
20:27.49 | Technodroid | haven't been able to see any films lately :| except the lego movie |
20:28.36 | TekDroid | I thought the latest Godzilla film was really good. Other than square cube law and poor military tactics. :P |
20:29.27 | Hachiman | Meh, too much focus on boring, dumb military drama |
20:29.32 | Hachiman | Too little kaiju fighting |
20:29.51 | Monet | Americans like seeing their military for some reason |

20:31.45 | Technodroid | that's what I hate about the Transformers films |
20:31.47 | TekDroid | I saw it in this special theater will has bigger screens and fancy sound systems (It was my birthday. :P ) So there when it roared it ROARED. |
20:32.02 | Technodroid | if I'm seeing a transformers movie, I'm watchingn it for the robots |
20:32.07 | Technodroid | not some fucking humans |
20:32.09 | Monet | I thought it was nice that the main soldier we saw was bomb disposal rather than say a marine private. |
20:32.57 | Monet | So we didn't get some trigger-happy grunt who figured an M4 would be effective against the evil kaiju. |
20:33.02 | Hachiman | Shame how boring he was |
20:33.24 | Hachiman | I personally would have preferred if Walter White stayed throughout |
20:33.51 | Xho | I preferred it without the massive amounts of Godzilla |
20:33.57 | Xho | Made his appearances more worth it |
20:34.04 | Hachiman | Eh true |
20:34.20 | TekDroid | Of course when they do make those movies all [insert topic here] smashing things, all you'll hear are complaints about having no plot. |
20:34.25 | Hachiman | I wouldn't have minded if the main character wasn't so dull |

21:44.15 | ImpyDroid | This week I will be working on the Empire |
21:44.53 | ImpyDroid | Just how racist do you want to see it? I will be curbing their negative traits either way but I need to know the extent of the changes |
21:45.27 | ImpyDroid | They can still remain highly speciecist but with a backatory for it |
21:45.35 | ImpyDroid | Mistrusting towards other races |
21:45.55 | ImpyDroid | Or just hating elves because they were their former slavers |
21:46.28 | OluapAway | I'd say a racism toward elves is much better than a racism for everyone ever |
21:46.32 | OluapAway | Now college time |
21:46.54 | Technodroid | yeah I agree |
21:47.13 | Xho | Orichalcum Elves - u lived peacefully under our rule for 25,000 years and you never complained |
21:47.19 | Zmr56 | They're gonna need some allies so I guess racism against elves |
21:47.54 | Technodroid | I could probably make a thing out of my fantasy Ioketa |
21:48.02 | Technodroid | maybe base them off the Moogles |
21:48.15 | Xho | hao bout u make something original |
21:48.19 | Xho | cuz dat better |

21:55.21 | Technodroid | if I could make something original, I would |
21:55.45 | Technodroid | but it's kind of difficult to do that considering every idea has to be based on an external source |
21:55.55 | Xho | Doesn't necessarily |
21:56.22 | Technodroid | surely it must at least be a conglomerate of ideas, right? |
21:56.30 | Xho | The only thing that remains a based source in my fantasy fiction is the fact the Shiarchon are based from Ancient Rome |

21:57.48 | Zmr56 | Hi |
21:58.53 | Xho | Once again you're thinking too hard |
21:59.07 | Xho | Just make something that doesn't relate to anything too obvious |
21:59.29 | Technodroid | like I can ever not think too hard :c |
21:59.36 | Xho | I mean I was the only one who got Imp's Yurizenlong reference |
21:59.42 | Xho | And there's a lot of users here |
22:00.22 | Xho | I mean just don't overdo it and take it directly out of a game or something |
22:00.41 | Technodroid | oh yeah that's not my plan |
22:00.58 | Technodroid | it will probably be another conglomerate fiction though |
22:01.05 | Xho | I'm not really a fan of game expies to be honest |
22:01.50 | Tek0516Droid | back |
22:01.59 | Technodroid | I didn't use to have expies until I failed to make any of my new fiction original enough |

22:03.19 | Tek0516Droid | I draw various ideas and aspects from various sci-fi, but never really based my fiction itself on anything. |
22:03.22 | Technodroid | the Ioketa definitely won't run around saying "Kupo!" or anything |
22:03.28 | Xho | Though I'm not particularly sure what Caligaduro is based from nowadays |
22:03.50 | Xho | Originally he was a Sauron/Balrog-like thing now he's some colossal god of nothingness thing |
22:04.30 | Xho | I think that might just relate to this recurring theme of eschatological nihilism in what I do |
22:04.39 | Xho | Or existential nihilism in general |
22:04.43 | Xho | Or just nihilism |
22:06.28 | Xho | I dunno I like the idea in fiction that everything is insignificant and then there's an incarnate representation just to show how insignificant everything is |
22:07.12 | Technodroid | Kefka approves |
22:08.05 | Xho | In the form of a ten-universes-tall god of nothingness of course |
22:08.36 | Xho | I would make my fiction more along the lines of that but I just risk it becoming unreadable |
22:10.55 | Xho | Anyway |
22:10.57 | Xho | What I said |
22:11.10 | Xho | Just don't make it overly obvious that you took it from something everyone knows of |
22:11.29 | Technodroid | yeah I see what you mean |

23:11.24 | Technodroid | hmm |

23:11.52 | Technodroid | thoughts? |
23:12.32 | GD12 | thoughts on the bulletpoint thing? |
23:12.36 | GD12 | neato i guess hur |
23:12.39 | Technodroid | yeah |
23:12.55 | Technodroid | I could do it if I get an image |
23:13.54 | Monet | Seems a bit gimicky |
23:14.12 | GD12 | it seems a bit much too in retrospect |
23:14.20 | GD12 | i mean a bullet point is a bullet point |
23:14.25 | GD12 | and this is a wiki not a videogame hur |
23:14.31 | Technodroid | it doesn't add to it or take anything away |
23:15.05 | GD12 | aye |
23:15.08 | Hachiman | Here's an idea; have the main wiki font in Spore text |
23:15.20 | Technodroid | that's terrible |
23:15.36 | TekDroid | You'd either have the bullets fairly large or at a resolution that's hard to see though. |
23:15.45 | Monet | No but I'm picturing every listed article with a spore O. |
23:15.48 | Technodroid | no you wouldn't |
23:16.00 | Technodroid | the bullet points would be the same height |
23:16.16 | Monet | And several users here separate dialogue with bullet-points |
23:16.32 | Monet | So tiny spore Os everywhere |
23:17.02 | Wormy | Someone, grab a net! |
23:17.15 | Technodroid | well, again, it depends on what people think of it |
23:17.36 | Technodroid | I just learnt that I could do it so I thought meh why not it could be neat or it could be god awful |
23:17.43 | TekDroid | It's not a horrible idea, but it'd probably get a bit annoying after a while. |
23:17.47 | GD12 | I'll be on later my family wants to have a sentimental talk with me |
23:17.55 | GD12 | reminds Wormy of superweapons shenanigans |
23:18.39 | TekDroid | Ok, horrible was a bit too strong of a word. |
