| 00:01.08 | Quark8 | Whenever I went to New York the people weren't rude except for once, but otherwise they just ignored me. |
| 00:01.44 | Monet | In my time there I've come to guess that only parts of New York never sleep. I stayed in a hostel in the upper-east side and when the sun went down there was hardly any traffic. |
| 00:02.01 | Wormy | I was amazed by the people on the documentary, Benefit Street. A load of people dumped waste on the street, and the counciul refused to clean it up. So the people living on the street got together and blocked the road with the waste, forcing the council to clean it up. |
| 00:02.04 | Monet | Hubs lie TImes Square could still be busy all night though. |
| 00:03.03 | Wormy | A lot of horrendous crap is said about gypsies, but my parents lived with them too. Their ways are different, but the media and pop culture in general look down on them |
| 00:03.13 | Cyrannian | Back |
| 00:04.07 | Monet | Wormy: I've had the misfortune to have friends talk as if all Gypsies do is steal anything that isn't nailed down. |
| 00:04.41 | Wormy | Well, they are both uncultured and afraid. Afraid of anything different. |
| 00:05.26 | Wormy | I myself haven't travelled, but I did live with the boating community and it is very different to living in houses |
| 00:05.38 | Wormy | even the people |
| 00:06.26 | Wormy | I could wax romance about it but there were weirdos, and if you are a person who depresses quickly from isolation it isn't for you |
| 00:06.36 | Wormy | Because in winter |
| 00:06.46 | Wormy | Everybody stays in their boats to keep warm |
| 00:07.31 | Wormy | I know somewone who nearly killed themselves because of the isolation from other boaters. |
| 00:07.47 | Wormy | He was used to a life of parties you see |
| 00:08.36 | Wormy | But then, you meet people who would actually help you, and you'd meet real characters, and you'd meet people who don't generally fit in mainstream society |
| 00:11.35 | Monet | TheRandomness: Reading this essay you linked makes me thing. |
| 00:11.38 | Monet | think, sorry |
| 00:12.01 | Monet | How does post-scarcity work in what nations in the fictioverse |
| 00:12.13 | The_Randomness | That is a very good question. |
| 00:12.47 | The_Randomness | I would assume that varies greatly between different nations |
| 00:12.52 | Monet | Yeah. |
| 00:13.13 | Monet | The system of "no one needs money anymore because massive resource abundance" has been bugging me for months. |
| 00:13.47 | The_Randomness | I really liked that person's analysis of the UFP's economyt |
| 00:13.55 | The_Randomness | pesky little "t" :l |
| 00:13.58 | Monet | "Money still exists, so do banks. Crusher buys fabric at Farpoint. DS9 makes mention of theBank of Bolias, on a Federation planet. Nog loans Jake latinum." |
| 00:14.45 | Monet | I always chalked Crusher buying that fabric as "it was an early episode of TNG" or "this wasn't quite a Federation planet" |
| 00:14.55 | Wormy | I don't think Fed people buy much though |
| 00:15.12 | OfficerJackal | BRB changing computers. |
| 00:15.26 | Wormy | As Picard said, material objects have little meaning or something |
| 00:15.41 | Wormy | But then, he has a massive collection of valuables |
| 00:15.55 | Wormy | star trek is full of these contraditions |
| 00:15.59 | Monet | Isn't most of that stuff from his archaeology days? |
| 00:17.56 | Wormy | Captain Picard is a hypocrite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMvxsbosdZE |
| 00:18.51 | Cyrannian | I like Major Grin's Captain Picard. |
| 00:19.05 | Monet | Ok good point. Although maybe its subjective? |
| 00:19.12 | Wormy | Picard is like a hoarding dragon |
| 00:19.32 | Monet | An archelological find would be more valuable than anything that could be pulled out of a replicator |
| 00:19.59 | Wormy | He admits to purchasing goods in that compilation |
| 00:20.03 | The_Randomness | I think it's more that they frown upon using stuff to say "I'm better than you because I have stuff", not that you should eschew all material goods |
| 00:22.12 | Cyrannian | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:23.05 | The_Randomness | lol |
| 00:23.38 | The_Randomness | "It's a long way down, at least 200 meters. You would die instantly." |
| 00:24.07 | Monet | I feel a fictionverse essay coming on. This one will analyse the whole "post-scarcity society" situation |
| 00:24.10 | Cyrannian | Actually, don't click it. It gets very inappropriate. |
| 00:25.45 | Monet | The thing about economics if if one does not actually study it, it can get confusing quickly. |
| 00:26.11 | The_Randomness | Yeah |
| 00:26.42 | Monet | Not just study in the sense of "look at case studies of events caused by economic systems" I mean know it close to inside-out |
| 00:29.52 | Monet | I wonder if the Imperium's emphasis on the creative industry and the influence of wealthy elite is what keeps a currency system still around. |
| 00:30.08 | Monet | for them anyway |
| 00:31.08 | Monet | Artifacts like paintings, records, sheet music, sculptures, unique furniture so on are still widely auctioned |
| 00:31.48 | Monet | Even though the technolgoy exists to make three million copies of a painting that are identical to the original down t oa subatomic level |
| 00:35.42 | Monet | "I believe that the Federation Unit is not actually underwritten or issued by the Federation. I think it is more akin to the Calgary Dollar or the Chiemgauer. Or bitcoin. This would solve so many problems. It would make it unequivocally true that the Federation doesn’t use money. It would give people a unit to use as reference when they say things are expensive." |
| 00:35.55 | Monet | This is how i've tried to describe the Mimidian Credit. |
| 00:36.29 | Monet | Its not its own currency, its a value used during inter-currency transactions. |
| 00:37.24 | Cyrannian | Nightie night |
| 00:37.27 | *** part/#sporewiki Cyrannian (4e120d7c@gateway/web/freenode/ip.78.18.13.124) |
| 00:39.10 | Monet | If you bought something in mimidian credits, you were still removing say USD from your account and giving it to the clark who records the transaction in say Russian rubles. |
| 00:40.22 | Monet | Because the credit is largely digital, catalogues can use wi-fi connections to corss-reference the price and tell you how much you're paying in your own currency as well as mimidian credits |
| 00:42.27 | Monet | So officially the Imperium uses the mimidian credit. Unofficially there are millions of different currency units in circulation |
| 00:43.07 | Monet | Sorry if i'm rambling |

| 02:12.49 | TekDroid | I just saw The Edge of Tomorrow. |
| 02:13.43 | TekDroid | One thing I found kinda humorous was the blatant reference with the setting. |
| 02:16.55 | TekDroid | It's the fifth year of the war, which started with an enemy that rose in Germany, curbstomps most of Europe, gets halted in places like the middle of Russia, and troops in the UK are preparing to land in Normandy to launch the final campaign to win the war. |
| 02:17.03 | TekDroid | Sound familiar? XD |
| 02:17.39 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 02:20.04 | TekDroid | I don't think they ever explicitly said Normandy, but it was pretty blatant. :P |
| 02:20.23 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 02:22.07 | TekDroid | They even had it stopped in the right part of Italy. XD |
| 02:25.01 | TekDroid | So in this CKII game the Aztecs have now curbstomped most of Spain and France, with England beaten pretty bad. |
| 02:25.04 | TekDroid | XD |
| 02:25.27 | DrodoEmpire | lol |
| 02:25.34 | DrodoEmpire | Sunset Invasion DLC? |
| 02:26.07 | TekDroid | Yeah. Picked it up for fun. |
| 02:26.52 | TekDroid | Hm... in fact I'd picked up quite a lot of Paradox stuff during the sale... |
| 02:27.19 | DrodoEmpire | Did you get Conquest of Paradise? |
| 02:27.42 | TekDroid | Yeah. |
| 02:27.53 | DrodoEmpire | Good. XD |
| 02:28.52 | TekDroid | So now I've got EUIV with WoN and CoP, CKII with LoR, TOG and SI, and HOI3 |
| 02:29.57 | TekDroid | I am quite the Paradox fan. XD |
| 02:31.24 | DrodoEmpire | Indeed |
| 02:32.11 | DrodoEmpire | *EUIV-style popup appears on my screen saying "CONVERSION SUCCESSFUL!"* |
| 02:32.44 | TekDroid | It's one purchase I don't regret though. |
| 02:56.04 | TekDroid | Lol, the Aztecs take out most of France and Spain, but it isn't until Avignon falls that the Pope decides to call a crusade. XD |
| 02:56.21 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 03:00.31 | TekDroid | And England just lost... well, England. They now only have Ireland. XD |
| 03:00.43 | DrodoEmpire | Ouch |
| 03:01.10 | TekDroid | But the Crusaders have liberated the northern half of France. |
| 03:05.00 | TekDroid | glances to the east and notices Venice took control of Western Turkey |
| 03:05.03 | TekDroid | O.o |
| 03:05.06 | DrodoEmpire | wat |
| 03:05.07 | DrodoEmpire | XD |
| 03:06.25 | TekDroid | Meanwhile the Mongols are still advancing and just hit Hungary and Poland. |

| 03:20.48 | DrodoEmpire | Really!? |

| 11:16.51 | Monet | Hello |
| 11:17.20 | Monet | Oh bloody hell I've jsut seen the Imperial Guardsman's Uplifting Primer. |
| 11:17.33 | Monet | The Tau entries have made my sides saw |
| 11:17.35 | Monet | sore* |
| 11:19.37 | Monet | Whoever wrote it seemed to think that the Tau sacrifice peopl to pagan gods and are frightened by fire, water and thunder. |
| 11:21.03 | Monet | Fear of fire falls apart when one realises that fire is a kind of plasma, which the Tau use like no tomorrow. |
| 11:21.17 | AdmiralPanda | Correction: whoever wrote it wanted the Imperium to THINK that's how they work |
| 11:21.41 | AdmiralPanda | the Imperial Primer also states that Tyranid claws are blunt and worthless |
| 11:22.11 | Monet | Must have been a faulty servitor who approved the entries. |
| 11:23.05 | AdmiralPanda | on the contrary |
| 11:23.11 | AdmiralPanda | like I said, this misinformation is deliberate |
| 11:23.24 | AdmiralPanda | it's not a tactical manual, it's propaganda |
| 11:24.04 | AdmiralPanda | the name says it all, "Uplifting Primer" - it's not supposed to tell you how to win a war, it's supposed to make you confident enough to enlist, rather than the truth which would scare any human into inactivity |
| 11:24.34 | AdmiralPanda | the Imperium doesn't get trillions of humans motivated to fight by giving them a realistic assessment of the enemy, it feeds them lies to make them THINK they have the upper hand |
| 11:24.44 | AdmiralPanda | when really, the Imperium counts bodies like it counts bullets, just another statistic |
| 11:26.02 | Monet | Well according to Ciphias Cain, the average guardsman treats it as seriously as I would a copy of the Daily Mail |
| 11:26.09 | Liquid_Ink | http://media.tumblr.com/adb8ddedab65cb3eb4610793e0ba4091/tumblr_inline_mmesbiuufX1qz4rgp.gif |
| 11:26.17 | AdmiralPanda | of course you would |
| 11:26.18 | AdmiralPanda | that's the idea |
| 11:26.32 | AdmiralPanda | what's the point of propaganda if you don't believe it? |
| 11:27.08 | AdmiralPanda | or is the Daily Mail considered bullshit? |
| 11:27.18 | Monet | Sensationalist ullshit. |
| 11:27.26 | AdmiralPanda | ah |
| 11:27.43 | AdmiralPanda | well yeah, that's because the average guardsman has actually been to the front |
| 11:28.18 | AdmiralPanda | but fresh recruits, or people who are sitting in the slums of a megacity, don't know the difference |
| 11:28.20 | Monet | COmedian Russel Howard made up a song relating to a Daily Mail headline about how many things have you cancer; "The Mail's got big balls to print it | because i's sixty pages of scary bullshit" |
| 11:28.34 | Monet | give* |
| 11:29.03 | Monet | And like the uplifting primer, there are people in the UK who believe everything it talks about. |
| 11:30.10 | Monet | Hm, maybe the uplifting primer is a Games Workshop jab at the Daily Mail. |
| 11:30.25 | Monet | Orks are a jab at football hooligans/chavs after all |
| 11:30.27 | AdmiralPanda | maybe, then again it makes sense that something like that would exist |
| 11:30.46 | AdmiralPanda | the ADF has a Soldier's Handbook, except it's more informative and has no politics |

| 12:03.20 | Monet | I don't think anyone has head of a British show called "Time Commanders" have they? |
| 12:05.37 | Monet | Its an interesting concept; get a bunch of peop with no gaming experience into a war-room style set. Assign two of the four as lieutenants to direct controllers of a Rome:Total War army and two to act as generals with an overview of the map, then have them play out famous classical battles. |
| 12:06.57 | Monet | And see how they'd fare in the general's shoes. |
| 12:07.35 | Monet | One group in particular: Four vicars who prevailed as the Romans in the battle of Tetuoburg Forest. |
| 12:08.17 | Monet | Or a family of four who utterly smashed the Norse at Stamford Bridge. |

| 12:18.03 | AdmiralPanda | Something awesome has happened |
| 12:18.18 | AdmiralPanda | my friend sent me his copy of the Technomancer rules- think D&D, but in a sic-fi context |
| 12:18.24 | AdmiralPanda | sci-fi* |
| 12:19.45 | AdmiralPanda | I could actually run a science fiction role-play instead of a fantasy, if people are ever up for it |
| 12:20.46 | Monet | Hell yeah! |
| 12:27.30 | AdmiralPanda | I'll have to reacquaint myself with the rules, but it can certainly be done |
| 12:32.32 | AdmiralPanda | one thing I like about this system is it has a huge buffer of health that regenerates automatically after battle, and only a small bit of health that needs actual healing |
| 12:32.45 | AdmiralPanda | so there's practically no need for a party member to be a healer of any kind |
| 12:35.19 | AdmiralPanda | OluapPlayer Hachiman: either of you guys interested? |
| 12:35.49 | OluapPlayer | I'm not so sure |
| 12:50.39 | Wormy | Hachi, Monet: This game comes from the era of John C Lilly's fame and is quite trippy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecco_the_Dolphin and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Lilly#Earth_Coincidence_Control_Office_.28ECCO.29 |
| 12:50.56 | Wormy | I wonder if its inspired |

| 12:51.22 | OluapPlayer | I could never get past the first level since I didn't know what the hell to do |
| 12:53.12 | Wormy | I played it on Dreamcast |
| 12:53.27 | Monet | Oluap: "The game's creator, Ed Annunziata, had decided to intentionally make the game difficult because he had feared that children who rented it would be able to easily complete the game over the weekend." |

| 12:53.50 | Wormy | Ah, the classic era |
| 12:53.51 | OluapPlayer | Eh |
| 12:54.11 | Monet | Ecco the Dolphin was supposed to be hard |
| 12:54.11 | Wormy | Kids today complete a whole game in a single sitting |
| 12:54.34 | OluapPlayer | If the game is easy and short, maybe |
| 12:54.45 | Wormy | I once played Spore for 8 hours |
| 12:55.56 | AdmiralPanda | the other thing is, back in the old days game cartridges didn't have much memory, so games were made hard to get longevity where developers couldn't add content |

| 16:26.11 | OfficerJackal | Lol. That would be funny, although we might already be screwed at that point. XD |

| 16:27.39 | AdmiralPanda | and that was not doge |
| 16:30.29 | OfficerJackal | Hmm, I also read something about Methane in the siberian sea shelf, and if it was relesed could, at worst, raise the global temperature by +12c. |
| 16:30.30 | OfficerJackal | ... |
| 16:30.33 | OfficerJackal | Lol sorry africa, u ded. |
| 16:30.36 | OfficerJackal | XD |
| 16:32.11 | AdmiralPanda | fun fact: if the world's oceans raised by about two metres, 80% of Australia would be underwater, but only 10% of the population would be displaced |
| 16:33.05 | OfficerJackal | Fun fact: If the world's oceans raised by about two metres, 99% of Florida would be underwater, and 100% of the population would have to resort ot making settlements on tall bill-boards. |
| 16:34.32 | Monet | A lobal temperature rise of twelve degrees is a very very bad thing |
| 16:35.01 | OfficerJackal | Well, yeah, whole parts of the planet would probably be un-inhabitable. |
| 16:35.19 | Monet | I like to look at it this way: That's an average, so some places wil lget MUCH hotter and some places will get MUCH colder |
| 16:35.38 | AdmiralPanda | both of which are bad :P |
| 16:35.39 | Monet | +12 degrees sounds massive compared to the +4 degrees I've been hearing about |
| 16:36.26 | OfficerJackal | Yeah, but remember that's only if the Methane in the siberian sea shelf is released, like, all of it. So it's a worse case scenario, realistically, the temperature increase could be lower. |

| 16:38.13 | TekDroid | This comic comes to mind: http://www.xkcd.com/1379/ |
| 16:38.14 | Monet | I've encountered a few sscpetics who go "only four degrees? How is that a problem" |
| 16:38.29 | OfficerJackal | Top kek. |
| 16:39.29 | Wormy | Has anyone ever encountered the electric universe cranks? |
| 16:39.32 | OfficerJackal | Yeah, they won't be saying that when some parts of Earth are un-inhabitable and shit is hitting the fan. |
| 16:39.54 | Monet | Of couse these peopl probably don't realise that the term doesn't mean a four degree rise everywhere. |
| 16:40.13 | TekDroid | Four degrees was the difference between now and the Ice Age. |
| 16:40.52 | AdmiralPanda | also, it's the time |
| 16:41.02 | AdmiralPanda | four degrees instantly would cause wide-scale reduction of life on earth |
| 16:41.07 | AdmiralPanda | and that's four degrees everywhere |
| 16:41.27 | AdmiralPanda | the more varied increase and decrease that would actually happen is even worse |
| 16:41.32 | Wormy | Basically a blanket theory with no predictions, based on outdated sources which are cherry picked. The community of electric universe cranks are extremely vocal whenever i see them debate. You can see them in the comments here http://neutrinodreaming.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/electric-universe-theory-debunked.html |
| 16:41.41 | Monet | Average global temperatures today are 15 degrees c or soemthing like that. But here's where they probably get their opinion: The Sahara can reach 40-50 degrees while the South Pole can get as cold as -70. So 4 degrees here doesn't SOUND that much. |
| 16:42.01 | AdmiralPanda | precisely, but what they don't understand is it's the difference that kills |
| 16:42.28 | AdmiralPanda | an instant, sustained change of 4 degrees would cause significant impact to the ecosystems of the world |
| 16:42.52 | AdmiralPanda | the only species that would survive in any great numbers are the ones which go for quantity over quality in terms of reproduction |
| 16:43.00 | Wormy | It also makes the new phase climate unpredictable. |
| 16:43.03 | OfficerJackal | Also reptiles. |

| 16:43.38 | AdmiralPanda | smaller ones would be able to ride it out, but larger ones are in for trouble if the temperature gets colder |
| 16:44.23 | Wormy | Though it could have a positive feedback effect of self-amplification. Increase Co2 emissions would warm up the methane traps of Siberia, which in turn enter the atmosphere, creeping the warmer/wetter conditions northwards, melting more methane clathrates |
| 16:44.26 | Monet | I've met one guy who distrusts climatologists because "they keep changing their minds", like deciding after spending fifteen years calling it global warming, decided to rename the theory "climate change" |

| 16:45.08 | Wormy | hi |
| 16:45.35 | Monet | AdmiralPanda: Yeah I mentioned that ,to which he replied "but the climate is always changing" |
| 16:45.51 | AdmiralPanda | and those people don't understand the issue |
| 16:45.59 | AdmiralPanda | it's not the change, it's the rate of change |
| 16:46.09 | Monet | I don't know if he's confused it with weather or if he assumes he's talkign about subtle and gradual changes |
| 16:46.30 | AdmiralPanda | anyone who uses that argument doesn't know what they're talking about |
| 16:47.37 | Monet | Sadly true. |
| 16:48.16 | AdmiralPanda | hm, watching my friend play Space Engineers just gave me inspiration for a sci-fi story |
| 16:48.31 | Wormy | I'd add that it is also going to make the climate enter a new phase that we can't predict very well |
| 16:48.40 | Monet | Oh lovely. |
| 16:50.40 | Monet | Looking at that USA Today article. What it's suggesting is "BP says that it'll be 53.3 years before we run out of oil, HOWEVER we're finding new shale gas deposits lately so this is not quite true" |
| 16:50.58 | AdmiralPanda | a few characters get stranded on an abandoned colony, then work together to repair the colony's infrastructure/repair a ship in order to get off |

| 16:57.36 | OluapPlayer | Look who's talking hur |
| 16:57.37 | AdmiralPanda | Hachiman_: there could be fighting involved, possibly against wildlife or possibly native sentients or even automated defences |
| 16:57.47 | Xho | Shiarchon - go fuk urselves |
| 16:57.55 | AdmiralPanda | in fact, that gave me a great idea |
| 16:58.34 | AdmiralPanda | the environment is hostile, the atmosphere is unbreathable, making repairing the colony not just convenient but ESSENTIAL to their survival, however the colony's defences are still active |
| 16:59.05 | Hachiman_ | Would this be set in the standard fictionverse? |
| 16:59.12 | AdmiralPanda | I don't see why not |
| 16:59.21 | AdmiralPanda | I could use this as an opportunity to give the ISF some face time |

| 17:07.13 | Xho | Hachiman_: quoted |
| 17:07.17 | AdmiralPanda | those are the details I'm working out |
| 17:07.20 | Hachiman_ | yey |
| 17:07.32 | TekDroid | AdmiralPanda: I've got Space Engineers. It's really fun for early Alpha. |
| 17:08.06 | AdmiralPanda | and I think the non sentient wildlife and colony defences mix works better than T2 civvies |
| 17:08.22 | AdmiralPanda | so the colony would have been established by a more prominent race and subsequently abandoned |
| 17:09.22 | AdmiralPanda | as to why multiple species might be there, I know right off the bat why the ISF would be there, it's the others I'm not so sure about |
| 17:09.41 | AdmiralPanda | I'd be better able to work it out once I have a character roster |

| 17:17.47 | AdmiralPanda | I see |
| 17:17.54 | AdmiralPanda | hi |
| 17:18.14 | AdmiralPanda | Quark8: If you were to get involved, what character would you use? same to Hachiman_ |
| 17:19.05 | The_Randomness | What's this? |
| 17:20.09 | AdmiralPanda | a fiction idea |
| 17:20.34 | The_Randomness | Ah |
| 17:21.17 | Hachiman_ | Probably a Cyrodi or a Caltaunoi, a species that isn't as capable as Zazane |
| 17:23.07 | TekDroid | AdmiralPanda: Here's an idea.Have an international group of engineers meet and have things go wromg. |
| 17:23.18 | Xho | What's this about now |
| 17:23.25 | AdmiralPanda | a fiction idea |
| 17:23.26 | Hachiman_ | That's teh general outline of the fiction Tek |
| 17:23.36 | Hachiman_ | We're on about specifics |
| 17:23.47 | Xho | Yeah I got that |
| 17:23.48 | Xho | Elaborate |
| 17:23.56 | AdmiralPanda | I can justify the ISF being anywhere because they're everyhwere |
| 17:24.23 | AdmiralPanda | Xho: very briefly, a few characters get stranded on an abandoned colony, then work together to repair the colony's infrastructure/repair a ship in order to get off |
| 17:24.33 | AdmiralPanda | with various environmental threats to add drama |
| 17:24.56 | Xho | Hm |
| 17:25.11 | Xho | I would join but most of my species tend to be quite powerful |
| 17:25.40 | AdmiralPanda | I noticed :P although it would be useful to have at least one "powerful" character so we don't have a nerdsquad |
| 17:25.51 | The_Randomness | Oh I like how this sounds |
| 17:25.58 | Hachiman_ | At least one but I feel that everybody may want one |
| 17:26.00 | The_Randomness | Could I possibly join? :3 |
| 17:26.05 | Hachiman_ | Thus the threats aren't threats anymore |
| 17:26.26 | AdmiralPanda | the more people we have the harder it would be to run, but the five of us seems manageable |
| 17:26.27 | Xho | Nu - now how the fuck did I get here |
| 17:26.29 | TekDroid | You could have that one character be a surviving security guard |
| 17:26.51 | AdmiralPanda | yeah, see Nu is powerful to the point that practically nothing is a threat |
| 17:27.17 | Xho | Nu - except for rabbits |
| 17:27.33 | Xho | Hm |
| 17:27.44 | TekDroid | I think really you should try to avoid having any overpowered characters. |
| 17:27.48 | Xho | Well I can't use an Agent in that respect and I'm not sure why an Agent would be there |
| 17:28.01 | Xho | Agents aren't really known for joining nerdsquads |
| 17:28.04 | AdmiralPanda | the plan isn't really to use an established character |
| 17:28.21 | Xho | That being said there are 114,200 different Agents I could use |
| 17:28.34 | TekDroid | O.O |
| 17:28.44 | AdmiralPanda | mumble mumble |
| 17:28.58 | Xho | But no I'm not gonna use an Agent |
| 17:29.12 | TekDroid | If a couple agents can win a war... |
| 17:29.33 | AdmiralPanda | That's Xho for you, why use a peen mallet when you can use a sledgehammer :P |
| 17:29.36 | Xho | Mainly on the basis that an Agent wouldn't be in a team with aliens |
| 17:30.18 | Xho | I could use a Mahanayan character if I make one up |

| 17:33.21 | AdmiralPanda | that's just me though, and it's a it harder to put together |
| 17:36.31 | AdmiralPanda | as I said, a member of the ISF being there isn't too unlikely, a ship could have detected the colony's energy signature and dispatched a scout they were planning to pick up later, it's just the others to get there |
| 17:44.06 | AdmiralPanda | the colony itself could be a prefabricated structure created to a local standard technology, so there would be difficulty adapting but once people get the idea things go a lot faster |

| 17:54.22 | Hachiman_ | A starved Cyrodi may also be murderous hur |
| 17:54.45 | AdmiralPanda | hur |

| 17:58.28 | Hachiman_ | Probably either a bodyguard or a hired gun to keep the place safe prior to it falling to shit |
| 18:00.14 | Hachiman_ | I imagine he would have some technical know-how though I imagine, like how soldiers in real life are versed with technical equipment |

| 18:31.44 | Monet | Thing is if we have characters speaking their native languages....not everyone has full distionaries of words |
| 18:32.23 | drom | what did I miss while my client clogged up? |
| 18:32.41 | Quark8 | Same. |
| 18:33.41 | Xho | Kicath - :goodluckdealingwithmyshit: |
| 18:34.59 | AdmiralPanda | oh god the best thing ever just happened in this Space Engineers playthrough |
| 18:35.48 | AdmiralPanda | one guy in a mining ship just took out an attacking bandit by dropping a huge chunk of rock out of an access port |
| 18:36.12 | AdmiralPanda | by some miracle the rock hit the bandit's cockpit and ripped a hole straight through the ship |
| 18:36.30 | The_Randomness | lol |
| 18:37.38 | Monet | Nasty |
| 18:38.03 | Quark8 | :{ |
| 18:39.15 | AdmiralPanda | hah, now they're working on a ship that uses that as a primary means of attack :P |
| 18:39.27 | drom | goddamnit, I want to join with AdmiralPanda |
| 18:40.11 | AdmiralPanda | I would prefer to exist as an independent being thank you very much, if you're talking about the fic I'm wary of having too many characters |
| 18:41.25 | Quark8 | About that anything about happen while I was gone? |
| 18:41.31 | TekDroid | Was that in single player or multiplayer fir Space Engineers? |
| 18:42.06 | AdmiralPanda | multiplayer, three guys in the show and there's about nine other guys who drop in every so often to antagonise them |

| 18:48.20 | Xho | Santorakh - beautiful |
| 18:49.08 | TekDroid | I'll have to try a MP server at some point. |
| 18:49.15 | Xho | MP server? |
| 18:49.23 | OluapPlayer | Now the gummy bears are orphans |
| 18:49.24 | TekDroid | multiplayer. |
| 18:49.27 | OluapPlayer | i crai everytiem |
| 18:50.17 | AdmiralPanda | well, for once his tendency to crash his ship into everything came in handy |
| 18:50.42 | AdmiralPanda | seriously, these guys have owned seven ships, he's crashed nine of them |
| 18:50.51 | AdmiralPanda | my math is correct, he's crashed two stolen ships too |
| 18:51.03 | OluapPlayer | hur |
| 18:51.21 | Monet | Driving skill level: Nu |
| 18:51.28 | Xho | Nu - My skill is excellent |
| 18:52.03 | TekDroid | I'd been building a fancy drill in my offline game. It's about 150m og going forward at full speed ahead. XD |
| 18:52.05 | AdmiralPanda | oh god they found his body, now they're using their mining transport ship to drag him back to their base to bury him |
| 18:52.11 | TekDroid | O.o |
| 18:52.45 | Monet | "Rest in peace(es)" |
| 18:53.02 | AdmiralPanda | apparently if you die in an explosion you leave behind a charred corpse that can be picked up by landing gears |
| 18:53.22 | TekDroid | The cargo ship feature for that game is interesting. Especially when you hijack a military ship. |
| 18:53.52 | Xho | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KLO0l3e-6w Nu's psychotic rampage music |
| 18:54.01 | AdmiralPanda | now they're whacking him around trying to get him into a corridor so they can move him over to the graveyard |
| 18:54.34 | TekDroid | Because AI military cargo ships basically have a hidden reverse thruster placed in front of a nuke. You can probably guess the result. XD |
| 18:54.47 | AdmiralPanda | hur |
| 18:55.38 | TekDroid | First two times it happened I thought it was a bug. |
| 18:56.34 | AdmiralPanda | oh wow, they punched a hole in the bandits' staging post with a gravity-based coilgun |

| 19:00.05 | Tek0516Droid | What was this coilgun you mentioned? |
| 19:00.35 | AdmiralPanda | well, after seeing how effective floating rocks are at killing bandits, the guys decided to try out "motivating" the rocks to kill bandits |
| 19:01.21 | AdmiralPanda | so they constructed a ring with four gravity generators and a connector to eject rocks from storage, plugged that onto the front of their multipurpose ship, and used it to wreck one of the bandits staging posts |
| 19:02.25 | Technobliterator | brb |
| 19:05.54 | drom_ | sorry for the disburding alert I gave earlier. |
| 19:08.10 | drom_ | disburding... I give up. |
| 19:08.52 | AdmiralPanda | now they're talking about turning the guy who sacrificed himself to destroy the first bandit ship into a cyborg |
| 19:09.01 | Tek0516Droid | O.o |
| 19:09.06 | AdmiralPanda | btu get this: they're not using metal to make the cyborg body, they're using gummy bears |
| 19:09.31 | Monet | Wat |
| 19:09.31 | Tek0516Droid | Are we even talking about the same game? |
| 19:09.47 | drom_ | Is that a RP server? |
| 19:09.59 | AdmiralPanda | it's a youtube playthrough |
| 19:10.19 | AdmiralPanda | they just make up random stuff to make it more entertaining in between building montages and the occasional bandit raid |
| 19:10.24 | drom_ | Oh well. |
| 19:11.20 | drom_ | My internet is way terrible to upload something, including multiplayer games. I guess I'll go full forever alone and play SP-games in my corner. |
| 19:11.59 | Tek0516Droid | I had a fun idea last night of how you can technically make a giant Mecha in Space Engineers. |
| 19:12.14 | AdmiralPanda | oh? |
| 19:12.25 | AdmiralPanda | let me guess, lots of rotors? |
| 19:12.43 | Tek0516Droid | Though it falls more into Awesome but impractical, because the rotor control would be a nightmare. |
| 19:13.00 | AdmiralPanda | yeah, you couldn't make it combat viable |
| 19:13.31 | Tek0516Droid | Unless you just keep the arm weapons facing forward. |
| 19:14.01 | drom_ | It looks like Dark Byte (creators of Cheat Engine) is having a birthday today. |
| 19:14.31 | AdmiralPanda | oh god, literally five minutes after reviving he's crashed another ship |
| 19:14.42 | Tek0516Droid | Though you could theoretically create partially viability with a large enough crew. |
| 19:14.48 | Tek0516Droid | Lol. |
| 19:16.48 | drom_ | This is why I always join the team with the most trustable friends. |
| 19:17.20 | AdmiralPanda | and now they're cannibalising the bandit ship to create their own large ship |
| 19:17.46 | AdmiralPanda | "It's only been cut right in fucking half, put a band-aid on it and it's good to go eh?" |
| 19:17.55 | Quark8 | Fun. |
| 19:18.10 | AdmiralPanda | fortunately merge blocks exist |
| 19:18.34 | Tek0516Droid | Yeah. |
| 19:19.06 | AdmiralPanda | in fact that's what they're doing, they're gonna use merge blocks to join the two halves then connect it back together |
| 19:19.57 | Tek0516Droid | Combat in creative mode of the game is rather hilarious. |
| 19:20.17 | Tek0516Droid | Imagine infinite amount, continuous fire missile launchers. |

| 21:35.31 | Technobliterator | oh I didn't give any actual feedback yet |
| 21:35.55 | Technobliterator | it's cool, but I don't think tabbers are suitable, it means that you have to scroll up to click a new tab which is harder for a story to flow naturally |
| 21:36.20 | Technobliterator | no complaints other than that, story is enjoyable, Tetra is likable |
| 21:36.33 | OluapPlayer | That's a shame because I'm not changing it hur |
| 21:37.04 | Technobliterator | ya moms dum |

| 21:45.24 | Technobliterator | and since you're not elaborating, Monet, allow me to elaborate: I have a suggestion for everything, and so what? if you do not like the suggestion, then you do not use it. And why exactly is it a problem that I give suggestions anyway? if anything it shows I actually care enough to try and help |
| 21:46.10 | Monet | Maybe you're right. |
| 21:46.30 | Hachiman | Oh Jo, one thing I've been wondering regarding creature page content |
| 21:46.33 | Technobliterator | furthermore, I created the original standard layout lots of fictions follow, they follow that because they chose to follow it. Cyrannian chose to create his own layout, which works fine for him, that was out of his own choice |
| 21:46.36 | Technobliterator | sure |
| 21:46.38 | Technobliterator | what's up |
| 21:46.42 | Technobliterator | ? |
| 21:47.02 | Hachiman | Would I be able to use collapsables in order to convey more info into sections on creature pages? |
| 21:47.11 | Technobliterator | Urm, yeah, of course |
| 21:47.21 | Technobliterator | need help with that? |
| 21:47.38 | Hachiman | Good cuz I always feel paranoid about my creature sections being too long or not conveying enough info |
| 21:47.54 | Technobliterator | lol, they contain more info than mine that's for sure :P |
| 21:48.07 | Hachiman | cuz ur a scrublady |
| 21:48.21 | Technobliterator | do you want sliding collapsibles like http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Technobliterator or static ones like {{Navbox}} ? |
| 21:49.57 | Hachiman | Sliding collapsibles look good, but your ones look way too large and bold for my tastes :P |
| 21:50.18 | Technobliterator | alright |
| 21:50.19 | Technobliterator | the code is: |
| 21:50.43 | Technobliterator | (if I can remember it) |
| 21:51.45 | Technobliterator | <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collasped">Title |
| 21:51.46 | Technobliterator | <div class="mw-collpasible-content>Content</div> |
| 21:51.46 | Technobliterator | </div> |
| 21:51.47 | Technobliterator | should work |
| 21:52.19 | Hachiman | rite lemme go and test dis |
| 21:52.39 | Technobliterator | I could template it so everyone can have their own http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Technobliterator/Technobox thingies, but it depends on opinions |

| 21:57.52 | Hachiman | Technobliterator: I wouldn't do so just quite yet but it's a nice option to have |
| 21:58.05 | Technobliterator | alright |
| 21:59.44 | Hachiman | I wonder if I'm too harsh on Tetra hur |
| 22:00.06 | Hachiman | First I have him get pummelled by a Zarkhator, then I have him lose his arms and undergo augmentation |
| 22:00.49 | Technobliterator | Barret - i feel u bro |
| 22:00.52 | Hachiman | olol |

| 22:03.55 | Technobliterator | you're not meant to like him early on |
| 22:04.00 | Hachiman | I get he's supposed to be a cool badass loner type but I just think he's coming off as unnecessarily rude a lot of the time |
| 22:04.01 | Technobliterator | he's a prick, but unlike Squall, he redeems himself |
| 22:04.17 | Technobliterator | Cloud is the classic example of a character that begins unlikable |

| 22:08.59 | Technobliterator | the 2-4 bit |
| 22:09.16 | Hachiman | Aye |
| 22:09.28 | Hachiman | It seems like so much shit happened between MGS 2 and MGS 4 it's unbelievable |
| 22:09.35 | Technobliterator | yup |
| 22:09.45 | Hachiman | Although MGS 3 was good enough for me hur |
| 22:09.57 | Technobliterator | MGS3 is a flawless masterpiece and the greatest game of all time <3 |
| 22:10.13 | Hachiman | Even the laborous task of healing Big Boss during fights? |
| 22:10.40 | Technobliterator | pfft, if you have to heal him during fights then you suck noob |
| 22:10.46 | Hachiman | huehue |
| 22:12.20 | Hachiman | You know |
| 22:12.20 | Hachiman | At some point |
| 22:12.24 | Hachiman | Game about The Boss |
| 22:13.06 | Technobliterator | the boss ;_; |
| 22:13.13 | Technobliterator | well Kojima considered it at one point |
| 22:13.37 | Technobliterator | I would love it, the Boss is possibly my favourite character |
| 22:13.43 | Hachiman | Kojima didn't make a game about a strong independent woman gg anti-feminazi chauvinist pig |
| 22:14.06 | Technobliterator | feminazi team noob report |
| 22:15.25 | drom | Oh noes. Only 162 GB left on my 2 TB HDD. And it's glowin' all red! |
| 22:15.36 | Technobliterator | :o |
| 22:15.54 | Technobliterator | my HDD is a mess |
| 22:16.03 | Technobliterator | because, well, it has files from 2 OSes on it |
| 22:17.01 | Hachiman | Imagine if Kojima and Square Enix teamed up to make a game |
| 22:17.26 | Hachiman | Snake becomes an animu |
| 22:17.31 | Hachiman | Raiden is already an animu |
| 22:17.32 | Technobliterator | I would die of happiness |
| 22:18.07 | Technobliterator | Snake vs Kefka plz |
| 22:18.25 | Hachiman | Also I love the justification for people using swords in the Metal Gear universe; the guys using these swords are usually unaffected by standard gunfire hur |
| 22:18.48 | Monet | That's because they use swords to deflect the bullets |
| 22:19.04 | Technobliterator | their swords are high frequency blades too |
| 22:19.06 | Hachiman | Or rather they're usually cyborgs that just soak up damage automatically |
| 22:19.13 | drom | Only 864 MB of that taken space is junk. |
| 22:19.26 | Monet | Sam's first opponent had an LMG. |
| 22:19.42 | Hachiman | Sam's different cuz he's not a cybrogre |
| 22:19.56 | Technobliterator | Raiden was not a cyborg in MGS2 |
| 22:19.57 | Monet | He is a cyborg. |
| 22:20.07 | Technobliterator | he first got his HFB then |
| 22:20.08 | Hachiman | Sam's only got a cybernetic arm |
| 22:20.09 | Monet | That right arm of Sam's is robotic |
| 22:20.12 | Hachiman | He's otherwise normal |
| 22:20.24 | Monet | Normal paart form some kind of accelleration suit |
| 22:20.42 | Technobliterator | cybogre? :o |
| 22:20.45 | Hachiman | Aye |
| 22:20.48 | Hachiman | Cybrogre |
| 22:20.58 | Technobliterator | well yeah |
| 22:21.03 | Technobliterator | sam is not a cybogre :o |
| 22:21.06 | Hachiman | Still, a lot of his abilities come from just pure skill with his blade |
| 22:21.17 | Technobliterator | Vamp - bitch plz |
| 22:21.49 | Monet | Sam was able to keep up with Raiden when they first fought because that armour of his made his legs and arms fast enough. |
| 22:23.10 | Monet | I do wonder the physics of deflecting bullets with a blade |
| 22:23.20 | Technobliterator | something relating to HFBs |
| 22:23.21 | Hachiman | Realistically you can't really |
| 22:23.38 | Hachiman | HFBs vibrate fast enough that bullets just bounce off I think |
| 22:23.45 | Technobliterator | Ocelot was a master of ricochet |
| 22:24.10 | Monet | Even if you could hit the blade with a bullet, most swords might shatter when a bullet impacts. |
| 22:24.19 | Hachiman | If you tried deflecting a bullet with a normal blade, expect your blade to break |
| 22:24.33 | Hachiman | Although you CAN cut a bullet in half while its in midair |
| 22:25.56 | Hachiman | I gotta wonder how MGR2, if it ever gets made, expects to top MGR |
| 22:25.57 | Hachiman | Because NANOMACHINES, SON |
| 22:26.12 | Technobliterator | it will be made |
| 22:26.29 | Technobliterator | and it will top MGR because Metal Gear's always manage to top the previous games |
| 22:26.35 | Technobliterator | except MGS3, which no one will ever beat |
| 22:26.37 | Monet | Knowing Japan, someone better than Armstrong will come along |
| 22:26.53 | Hachiman | I kinda fear that MGS5 may be the last Metal Gear |
| 22:26.55 | Hachiman | Although Kojima always says that about Metal Gear hur |
| 22:27.12 | Technobliterator | he says that every game ._. |
| 22:27.15 | Technobliterator | he will never give it up |
| 22:28.04 | Hachiman | Gonna be hard to set the stage for another MGS game after 5 though |
| 22:28.15 | Hachiman | Unless we end up getting taken into the future again |
| 22:28.28 | Technobliterator | or unless 5 doesn't conclude Big Boss' story |
| 22:28.34 | Hachiman | True |
| 22:28.51 | Monet | Most MGS games are set a few years after the game's release. |
| 22:29.02 | Technobliterator | MGS3 is not |
| 22:29.04 | Technobliterator | MGS5 is not |
| 22:29.11 | Technobliterator | but otherwise true |
| 22:29.14 | Technobliterator | OH YEAH |
| 22:29.18 | Hachiman | MGS5 is set sometime after MGS3 though hur |
| 22:29.19 | Technobliterator | MGS4 WAS SET THIS YEAR |
| 22:29.25 | Technobliterator | :O |
| 22:29.31 | Technobliterator | right my time's up |
| 22:29.34 | Monet | Set this year...yet no sign of SoP. |
| 22:29.41 | Technobliterator | hachi play FFVII and follow let's play plz |
| 22:29.42 | Hachiman | I don't see no cowbots yet |
| 22:29.43 | Technobliterator | now i'm off |
| 22:29.44 | Technobliterator | byees |
| 22:31.20 | Monet | I can't believe it too kme until between MGS4 and Rising before I realised Kojima's nanomachines do whatever the plot demands. |
| 22:31.33 | Hachiman | lol |
| 22:31.58 | Hachiman | Senator Armstrong pretty much confirms that |
| 22:32.03 | Hachiman | With "Nanomachines, son!" |
| 22:32.28 | Monet | I get it |
| 22:33.09 | drom | Steam files makes up 800 GB across 1 000 000 files of my HDD. |
| 22:33.51 | Monet | Although if his skin becomes metal, either those namomachines create some sort of diamond-hard fabric or the game ignores tha possibility that such an action would immobilise whatever part of his body he's hardening. |
| 22:34.41 | Hachiman | Keep in mind that Armstrong regenerates |
| 22:35.00 | Hachiman | Sam cut off Armstrong's arm in his DLC if I remember correctly |

| 22:35.36 | Monet | So...is his body rebuilding itself? |
| 22:35.45 | The_Randomness | Hello everyone |
| 22:35.59 | Monet | Ahh videogame logic. |
| 22:38.46 | Monet | The most advanced nanomachines that I know we have are a drug dispersal system to make delivery more specific within a person's body. |
| 22:39.22 | The_Randomness | Which are really cool btw |
| 22:40.45 | Monet | For instance, aspirin - with these nanomachines the chemical will only be delivered to the brain, reducing the side effect of blood thinning within the rest of the body. |
| 22:43.10 | Monet | Okay so its not as cool as regrowing an arm with nanoscale machines, its still a clever idea |
| 22:44.03 | drom | http://imgur.com/a/rW2gX |
| 22:48.14 | The_Randomness | Nanotechnology is so cool |

| 22:58.44 | Wormy | Back |
| 22:59.00 | Wormy | Room 95% complete |
| 22:59.05 | The_Randomness | Nice |
| 22:59.14 | Wormy | Hachi, Monet: I'm going to decorate my room into cyberpunk style |
| 23:00.10 | Wormy | Its going to be hard to not make it look consumerwhore though |
| 23:00.25 | Wormy | Perhaps I should make some things in it out of old computer parts? |
| 23:00.33 | The_Randomness | I wouldn't worry about that |
| 23:00.42 | Hachiman | Maybe a mix and match:? |
| 23:00.47 | Wormy | yeah |
| 23:00.56 | Wormy | Obviously, I need stuff like rope lights |
| 23:01.01 | The_Randomness | Just try and make it look as good as you can |
| 23:01.27 | Hachiman | I still wonder what sorta look I wanna give my room] |
| 23:05.36 | Hachiman | I was thinking of maybe a sorta Lovecraftian-era vibe |
| 23:06.05 | Hachiman | Although I've also fallen in love with cyberpunk stuff |
| 23:06.08 | Wormy | This is kind of like what I'm after http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/85/971x605_14906_Trip_s_room_2d_sci_fi_girl_woman_cyberpunk_picture_image_digital_art.jpg http://g-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/1625058/072310_rg_CircuitBoardTable_01_rect540.jpg |
| 23:08.22 | Wormy | I might get a robot vacuum cleaner |
| 23:08.31 | Wormy | and a levitron to float snacks on |
| 23:09.03 | Wormy | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:09.07 | Hachiman | http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/164/d/5/d5568569450da931ced0d80048a4827b-d7m6sy3.jpg Ideally I'd like a room like this |
| 23:09.36 | Hachiman | Something compact and efficient |
| 23:09.41 | Hachiman | Yet lots of room for decoration |
| 23:09.56 | Monet | Quite some makeovers |
| 23:10.00 | Wormy | thing is, I have a lot of stuff, even after my massive clearout, so I I'm going to use the messy side of cyberpunk as an aesthetic |
| 23:10.12 | Wormy | wires everywhere |
| 23:10.25 | Wormy | circuit boards dangling |
| 23:10.39 | Wormy | sounds almost dangerous, so they won't be electrified |
| 23:12.28 | Wormy | wow http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/74/c3/23/74c3239d56c7fcf0a3bdfaadc366f9c2.jpg |
| 23:12.39 | The_Randomness | eugh |
| 23:12.58 | Wormy | actually, i don't wanbt my room to look as messy as that |
| 23:14.24 | Wormy | The wor;d doesn't quite seem to be heading to the cyberpunk worlds imagined in 70's to 90s |
| 23:14.51 | Wormy | But none-the-less, technologies are what they can are interesting |
| 23:15.42 | Quark8 | test |
| 23:15.54 | Monet | The world hasn't exactly turned out the way peopl hoped. |
| 23:16.43 | Wormy | Well, rather than cyberenetic implants, people are using smal devices to extend their "inbfomorphs" and minds, and even wearable technologies |
| 23:17.10 | Wormy | And rather than pure virtual reality, augmented reality seems to be the thing |
| 23:17.20 | Monet | I live in a semi-detached house built in the 90s but the design hasn't changed much from the 40s or 50s, nothing like this https://cdn.d23.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/061112_FS_DatelineDisney1960_HouseOfTheFuture_FEAT_11.png |
| 23:18.03 | Wormy | On the other hand, the internet became consumerist and not what the 90's cyberdelics and technoravers hoped http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberdelic#Collapse |
| 23:18.28 | Monet | In fact...I think the only houses that look vaguely like the one I linked were unnessessarily expensive. |
| 23:18.43 | Monet | to build |
| 23:19.57 | Wormy | Its not a bad thing that sci-fi becomes zeerust |
| 23:20.19 | Wormy | The Ipod aesthetic will eventually. I will be glaed to see it go. |
| 23:21.11 | Wormy | Sci-fi does predict the future often being different and that remsins true imo |
| 23:21.25 | Monet | I'm not saying the housing concept was bad its just...50 years on and houses lik that will cost at least a 500K to a million pounds to build. |
| 23:22.03 | Wormy | As Ghelae said, biotech is where computers were in the mid 20th century, not quite recognised in pop culture yet |
| 23:25.30 | drom | time to go |
| 23:25.33 | Wormy | bye |
| 23:25.34 | drom | see ya |
| 23:25.55 | Wormy | Time to add some Lilly waves to the Cetacean page |
| 23:26.41 | drom | before I go, I thought alot over on a background fact about the Aemonkian's evolution and the lifeforms of Aailli. |
| 23:26.48 | Hachiman | Apparently the reason why everything tastes like shit on an airplane is because the pressurized cabin fucks with your tastebuds |
| 23:27.53 | Wormy_fic | huh |
| 23:28.05 | Wormy_fic | I like airplane food :/ |
| 23:28.14 | Monet | I'm so-so with it |
| 23:28.27 | drom | One is simple, the Aemonkians and the rest of the lifefroms of Aailli evolved from a mutual species of sentient cells. |
| 23:28.54 | drom | That's what I can tell now. See ya. I'll tell more next time I have the time. |
| 23:30.27 | Wormy_fic | Hachi: 70% of the Earth belongs to the Cetacean nation |
| 23:30.37 | Wormy_fic | just think |
| 23:30.40 | Hachiman | Just as planned |
| 23:31.06 | Wormy_fic | I'm going to re-write the page |
| 23:34.20 | Hachiman | hur imagine cetacean mercenaries |
| 23:34.59 | Hachiman | Packs of selectively bred and augmented cetaceans, probably dolphins, designed for the purpose of war |
| 23:35.44 | Hachiman | Wormy_fic: I had a dream once about dolphins "swimming" through the cloud seas of a gas giant |
| 23:36.14 | Wormy_fic | Nice |
| 23:36.17 | Hachiman | Or rather dolphin-like creatures |
| 23:36.29 | Hachiman | It was one of the best dreams I'd ever had |
| 23:42.21 | Hachiman | Wormy_fic: http://m3-f.deviantart.com/art/Suicidal-Scream-of-the-Whales-464470146 |
| 23:42.22 | Wormy_fic | I love adventurous dreams, or ones where I have powers to jump immense distances. But most of my dreams are incredibly weird |
| 23:42.52 | Wormy_fic | Awesome |
| 23:43.07 | Wormy_fic | Makes me wonder about modified super whales |
| 23:43.35 | Hachiman | Super whales that could support entire ecosystems on/inside of them |
| 23:44.01 | Wormy_fic | Sometimes I have dreams where I'm still conscious, aware of my body in bed but my mind in some strange virtual reality space |
| 23:44.07 | Wormy_fic | interesting |
