| 00:00.18 | Wormy | Monet: Oblivion was a plot twist, it doesn't involve a nuclear holocaust |
| 00:00.18 | Laggybirds | In Katarian fiction, we have a superweapon missile called F.L.E.I.J.A whose explosion engulfed four thousand starships in real space flying in a loose-ish formation. What could it be? |
| 00:00.42 | Wormy | Hm |
| 00:00.47 | Laggybirds | The explosion was massive, round, and pink. |
| 00:01.27 | Monet_ | 2009 we had genocidal Romulans who while in a kerr-metric black hole decided to shave his heads and cover themselves in tatoos along with flying a ship that looks like a suspended image of a girder factory explosion. |
| 00:01.51 | Monet_ | No wait better image |
| 00:01.53 | Wormy | Well, it probably wasn't an explosion in a traditional sense. It probably involved extremely intense radiation or projectiles being flung out at incredibly high velocities |
| 00:02.14 | Monet_ | The offspring of a spider and a girder factory explosion. |
| 00:02.16 | Wormy | that could go through the four thousand vessels |
| 00:03.01 | Monet_ | In Into Darkness we had Khan, probably one of the scariest, most ruthless and frightening individuals in Star Trek canon. |
| 00:03.38 | TekDroid | Hm... That could work. |
| 00:03.39 | Wormy | Oh well, all that can stay in the new timeline lol |
| 00:03.50 | Laggybirds | Hm. That sounds like it could work, but: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131118163853/spore/images/b/ba/FLEIJA2.png |
| 00:04.03 | Monet_ | Yeah is it me or does this noew timeline seem less...utopia-ish |
| 00:04.15 | Monet_ | Although London looked really cool |
| 00:04.17 | Laggybirds | Maybe it's a super-nuclear weapon? |
| 00:04.35 | TekDroid | Monet_: If you count STO as canon old timeline went to hell too. |
| 00:05.17 | Monet_ | What about the nice stuff like the Romulans finding themselves a new homeworld? |
| 00:05.18 | Wormy | Well, nuclear weapons in space would be very bright but there would no shockwave, no superheated atmosphere |
| 00:06.21 | Wormy | no fireball really, just a flash of electromagnetic radiation, especially gamma, x ray and infrared |
| 00:06.40 | Hachiman | Explosions are less impressive in space hur |
| 00:07.17 | Monet_ | I gues that depends on what you prefer; a blinding flash of light or a fireball |
| 00:07.21 | Wormy | Perhaps it was a very large antimatter weapon that simply produced enough gamma radiation to destroy the shields of those ships |
| 00:07.45 | Wormy | Unless you are are after something more exotic |
| 00:08.03 | Wormy | How is the weapon deployed, from hyperspace? |
| 00:08.54 | Laggybirds | Yeah, we were looking for something exotic, though packing that much antimatter into such a tight space would be dangerous and expensive enough to justify the weapon. |
| 00:09.12 | TekDroid | It's was launched from a ship, uses a warp drive to sneak to a nesrby target, then detonate. |
| 00:09.21 | Laggybirds | From real space into real space, though it's equipped with a warp drive. |
| 00:09.27 | Wormy | Maybe it uses warp technology |
| 00:09.43 | TekDroid | The idea I had had involved using a modified warp drive that creates a spatial distortion. |
| 00:09.52 | Wormy | To expand and contract spacetime in order to rip apart molecular structures |
| 00:10.01 | TekDroid | But it didn't explain the flash |
| 00:10.28 | Monet_ | Maybe this is why I'm growing tired of apocalypse stories lately: Because everyone from game studios to TV and film are sticking the idea int otheir plots |
| 00:10.46 | TekDroid | Monet_: pretty much |
| 00:10.57 | Wormy | It would certainly emit electromagnetic radiation the process |
| 00:11.44 | Monet_ | Guadians of the Galaxy may be going the same way but I'm watching it because I'm a huge Marvel fanboy. |
| 00:11.55 | Wormy | I can't explain the pink light however |
| 00:12.29 | Wormy | unless it has some mixed composition that fools the eye into thinking it is pink |
| 00:12.47 | Wormy | Which yes, suggests its not a warp bomb |
| 00:12.59 | Wormy | Read more about those here http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/486309536aee1 |
| 00:13.07 | Monet_ | Then again I am drawn to Rocket the smart-mouthed gun-nut raccoon. |
| 00:13.17 | AdmiralPanda | Rocket is awesome |
| 00:14.20 | Wormy | The other option is that it is a massive release of negative energy |
| 00:14.48 | Wormy | Remember those non-phasic shields repulsive gravity shields? |
| 00:15.12 | Wormy | That might smash all those ships together |
| 00:16.07 | Wormy | But unless it creates a white hole, there would be no electromagnetic emission |
| 00:18.51 | Monet_ | I know this film is using Star-Lord but his look keeps making me think of Corsair http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/0/77/148093-130344-corsair.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/37/Chris_Pratt_as_Star-Lord_poster.jpg/640px-Chris_Pratt_as_Star-Lord_poster.jpg |
| 00:19.11 | Monet_ | First one is Corsair, second one is this film's Star-Lord. |
| 00:19.17 | TekDroid | lol |
| 00:20.19 | Hachiman | Corsair reminds me a little of Snake |
| 00:20.37 | Monet_ | That picture's a little msleading regarding his eyes |
| 00:21.00 | Monet_ | Corsair does not wear an eyepatch nor does he have a mssing eye |
| 00:21.01 | Wormy | Laggybirds, Tek: It could be something a lot simpler, like a plasma hot enough to undergo nuclear fusion. But you would need a way to contain the plasma ball so that it does not escape into the vacuum of space |
| 00:21.21 | Wormy | To keep it dense and hot enough |
| 00:22.03 | Laggybirds | I think I have it. |
| 00:22.21 | Monet_ | But the long hair and the headband, yeah, I can see the resemblance |
| 00:22.32 | Wormy | Monet, Hachiman: What do you think of Jupiter Ascending? |
| 00:22.40 | Hachiman | Not seen it |
| 00:22.49 | Wormy | Not sure if its out yet3 |
| 00:22.54 | Monet_ | The name vaguely rings a bell |
| 00:22.55 | Laggybirds | What if it undergoes fusion for just a brief second, turns all of the composite materials in the bomb into iron, then tries to fuse the iron. |
| 00:23.09 | Wormy | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoCyL_Pqzu8 |
| 00:23.10 | Laggybirds | Boom. |

| 00:24.32 | Wormy | Well you'd need a lot of mass for that |
| 00:24.55 | Wormy | But it might not need to fuse all the way to iron |

| 00:26.04 | The_Randomness | Hello everyone |
| 00:26.09 | Laggybirds | I was thinking the composite materials might be the elements behind iron |
| 00:27.33 | AdmiralPanda | hi you |
| 00:27.45 | Wormy | Ah |
| 00:28.19 | OluapPlayer | randum |
| 00:29.31 | Wormy | Beyond iron, you are using up more energy to produce higher elements than is generated by the fusion reaction |
| 00:32.33 | Wormy | Basically, fusion is impossible with elements higher than iron. Heavier elements are created by neutron capture |
| 00:33.27 | Wormy | There are free varaities that I know of, P, R and S processes |
| 00:34.53 | Wormy | Basically, all I think the weapon needs is to contain the plasma somehow in densities expected for minimum of nuclear fusion, only very high tier technology really has any chance of surviving those pressures and temperatures |
| 00:35.50 | Wormy | It would destroy the fleet, expand, and possibly even glow reddish-"pink" (so that it maybe looks pink but is not) |
| 00:36.06 | Monet_ | Was it Yahtzee who started the "neckbeards with trilby" image? |
| 00:36.16 | Monet_ | Or did he popularise it? |
| 00:36.29 | Laggybirds | Q |
| 00:36.52 | Laggybirds | Wormy, I think we'll use that. |
| 00:37.15 | TekDroid | I like it. |
| 00:37.45 | Wormy | How to contain our plasma ball? Maybe the warp bubble can, I'm not sure. Or a very powerful form of shielding that the Katar races would have invested a great deal of energy to muster |
| 00:37.51 | Hachiman | Yahtzee? |
| 00:38.23 | Monet_ | You know, from Zero Punctuation. |
| 00:38.36 | Wormy | Ah yes, ionised hydrogen glows reddish-pink in emission nebulae |
| 00:38.44 | Wormy | so that explains that |
| 00:39.02 | Hachiman | Oh |
| 00:39.04 | TekDroid | Well in current canon it's only been used twice, both my desperate factions in cases where economic feasibility isn't a priority. |
| 00:39.27 | TekDroid | *by |
| 00:39.28 | Hachiman | Well I like Zero Punctuation hur |
| 00:40.22 | Monet_ | I like him but I feel my reading voice gets a bit snarky after watching a few of his episodes |
| 00:43.02 | Wormy | Jupiter Ascending has an air of 50's sci-fi by the looks of it |
| 00:50.03 | Hachiman | You know, TTGL got a bit hard science-y in the later parts of the second season |
| 00:50.37 | AdmiralPanda | a little, but not much |
| 00:50.39 | Hachiman | The Anti-Spirals had weapons that altered probability so that they could bypass the shields of the Arc-Gurren |
| 00:51.11 | OfficerJackal_ | Switching computer. |
| 00:52.36 | AdmiralPanda | well yes, but that strays more towards Future Fantasy for me |
| 00:52.57 | The_Randomness | Eh that sounds rather soft |
| 00:53.01 | AdmiralPanda | TTGL in general is the definition of "technology replaces magic as the means to make ridiculous impossible things happen" |
| 00:53.22 | Hachiman | Yet somehow still incorporates magic as a heavy influence |
| 00:55.22 | Monet_ | I wonder about the plausability of spiral energy |
| 00:56.05 | OluapPlayer | http://33.media.tumblr.com/ef63b0e031f4df2a0667ca6cf864f41e/tumblr_n769pps3fe1qei28to1_500.png |

| 00:56.26 | AdmiralPanda | spiral energy is just force of will turned into a plot token |
| 00:56.46 | Wormy | spiral energy sounded metaphysical to me but maybe inspired by such exotic ideas like string theory |
| 00:57.02 | Wormy | since it involves 11 dimensions or something |
| 00:57.08 | OluapPlayer | http://www.tickld.com/cdn_image_thing/897241.png have an owl |
| 00:57.43 | The_Randomness | This is just me, but I'm rather skeptical when it comes to anything related to string theory |
| 00:57.53 | AdmiralPanda | Wormy: It's literally just fighting spirit |
| 00:58.12 | AdmiralPanda | technomagic fighting spirit |
| 00:59.06 | Wormy | String theory is fantatic mathematics but we don't know if it actualy describes reality |
| 00:59.36 | Monet_ | "spiral energy is fighting spirit", this a Japan thing? |
| 00:59.50 | AdmiralPanda | basically |
| 01:00.05 | The_Randomness | Wormy: So, basically, http://xkcd.com/171/ ? |
| 01:01.46 | Wormy | yeah |
| 01:02.34 | Wormy | There other approaches, Twistor theory, causal dynamical triangulations, etc. |
| 01:03.03 | Wormy | Actually you might like a physics lecture about this called Fashion, Faith and Fantasy |
| 01:03.43 | Wormy | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPnXsI5DUDY |
| 01:03.51 | Hachiman | Spiral energy isn't *just* fighting spirit; it's both the force that drives change and evolution on a fundamental level and is also generated by change and evolution, which can be manipulated with sufficient force of will |

| 01:05.55 | Wormy | Roger Penrose states that String Theory is fashion, quantum mechanics working as a complete description fath, and inflationary cosmology as fantasy |
| 01:06.25 | Wormy | Though his lecture is much less so "attacking" as it sounds |
| 01:06.27 | The_Randomness | Heh |
| 01:06.36 | Monet_ | Hachiman: So it's yang energy? |
| 01:06.51 | Hachiman | Kinda yeah |
| 01:07.27 | Monet_ | I can understand why too much may destroy the universe: Lack of balance, a tipping point whe nthings just become too chaotic to be sustainable |
| 01:08.36 | Wormy | I cringe a bit when some quantum physicists think QM as it is describes reality without requiring changes. Penrose argues, it doesn't explain how measurements and observer live in a more classical world, and secondly doesn't describe gravity |
| 01:09.13 | Wormy | He thinks quantum mechanics gives rise to a deeper theory |
| 01:10.07 | Wormy | He think inflationary cosmology as an ultimate theory is fantasy, because it ignores the strangeness of the universe's low entropy initial conditions |
| 01:10.26 | Wormy | And string theory: fashionable mathematics |

| 01:23.23 | Wormy | I really do enjoy writings by David Deutsch |
| 01:24.34 | Monet_ | Drawing Uriel's armour (again) makes me realise...were it not for advanced techniques to maintain it, the thing's probably way too expensive and valuable to send out onto the field |
| 01:25.30 | Monet_ | There is just way too much gold detailing lol |
| 01:25.39 | Wormy | I know I go on about epistemological principles of science, but because I am a fallibalist, how can I have faith as it were, in them? |
| 01:25.50 | Wormy | a paradox |
| 01:26.07 | Wormy | David Deutsch's answer http://pastie.org/private/amupdafq8owb40gk13im4w |
| 01:26.54 | Tybusen | Monet_: Uriel - Screw practicality! Bitch, I'm made of gold! |
| 01:26.54 | Wormy | The scientific method as it stands has survived its own criticism |
| 01:27.29 | Monet_ | Despite his distaste for nanotech, I think Uriel has a nanite colony within his armour to repair damage. |
| 01:28.09 | Wormy | âWe are all alike, in our infinite ignorance.â Karl Popper |
| 01:30.04 | Wormy | "nd as for knowing that âIâ exist because I thinkânote that your knowledge that you think is only a memory of what you did think, a second or so ago, and that can easily be a false memory.

| 11:34.41 | Wormy | I don't think I'll be having it |
| 11:36.17 | Monet_ | I decided to do some research as t owhere this "the earth is flat" nonsense may have come from. And I found this article that may be a hint http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=JefVirg.sgm&images=images/modeng&data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&tag=public&part=17&division=div1 (near the end of paragraph 285, look for mention of Galileio) |
| 11:36.51 | Wormy | why name yourself like an e number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EJ-10#EJ-10 |
| 11:37.06 | Monet_ | Thomas Jefferson wrote in his book "Notes on the state of Virginia" that he believed Galileio was trying to prove the Earth was round to a flat-earth opinionated government. |
| 11:38.39 | Wormy | The flat earth society website contradicts itself somewhere |
| 11:39.22 | Monet_ | One of the early affirmations for the myth came from Jefferson not quite rememebring history right |
| 11:40.10 | AdmiralPanda | the earth is flat was a simple observation people made |
| 11:40.18 | AdmiralPanda | they had no reason to believe otherwise, so why would they? |
| 11:40.57 | AdmiralPanda | and wasn't Gallileio trying to prove that the earth revolved around the sun? |
| 11:41.16 | Monet_ | He was, which was the thing I was trying to point out |
| 11:41.29 | AdmiralPanda | right |
| 11:41.48 | Monet_ | The popularisation may have come from how he's treated by some as one of the patron saints of America. |
| 11:42.33 | AdmiralPanda | â¦how? |
| 11:43.06 | Monet_ | He's one of the founding fathers. He has a memorial in Washington |
| 11:44.15 | Monet_ | To say anyhing bad about them is a sure-fire way to start a flame war in the states. |
| 11:44.51 | AdmiralPanda | wait you're talking about Thomas, I was talking about Gallileio |
| 11:44.56 | Wormy | One thing I don't get. Why the governments of all the world would know Earth is flat and guard the ice walls. Well shouldn't such a secret be of huge, high political value? Like in the cold war, one could imagine such a secret being a weapon |
| 11:45.02 | AdmiralPanda | I was like WTF? how the hell is Gallileio a founding father? |
| 11:45.42 | Monet_ | Yeah I silently moved focus to Jefferson lol |
| 11:47.14 | Monet_ | Jefferson makes a mistaken claim in one of his publications, being vindicated in the States, his word may have been taken to heart fairly quickly. |
| 11:47.25 | Monet_ | Oh yeah and then there's an 1860 publication on COlumbus |
| 11:47.57 | Monet_ | About how Columbus persevered to gather the patronage to set off on a voyage ot prove the world was round. |
| 11:48.47 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: Funnily enough, theories that the Earth is round, not flat have been discussed for a long time actually |
| 11:49.19 | Imperios | There were Greek and Chinese phiolosophers and astrologers who argued that the world is round back during the antiquity |
| 11:49.26 | Wormy | Erastophenese |
| 11:49.40 | Wormy | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes |
| 11:49.43 | Monet_ | Thing is...Columbus was a bit of an idiot. |
| 11:51.00 | Monet_ | He thought he could sail to China by going the way of the Atlantic despite the true size of the earth being known to scholars for a long time. He'd have been sailing over 8000 miles of open ocean. |
| 11:51.42 | Monet_ | And when he arrived in the carribean, he was cinvinced he'd landed in India. |
| 11:54.00 | Monet_ | sorry, 1820s |
| 11:54.27 | Ghel | How long would it have taken us to discover the New World if it weren't for his ignorance? |
| 11:55.22 | Monet_ | Well, Ferdinand Magellan started a voyage of circumnavigation 16 years after Columbus died |
| 11:56.46 | Ghel | Maybe not too long then. Unless the discovery of the Americas was a factor in the decision to attempt a circumnavigation. |
| 11:57.25 | Monet_ | Hmm, also Amerigo Vespuuci's voyages in Brazil and the carribean were an attempt to disprove that Columbus had landed in India and China |
| 11:57.41 | Monet_ | Vespucci's* |
| 12:00.41 | Monet_ | So logically speaking Amerigo could have disproved that Columbus had in fact landed in India (Vespucci's voyages were financed by the Spanish and Portuguese crowns so its not like his efforts would have faded into obscurity) |
| 12:03.38 | Ghel | Of course, if Columbus had never landed anywhere, there'd be no need to prove that he didn't land somewhere else. |
| 12:05.18 | Monet_ | There seems to be a whole slew of 19th century books that propose the "widespread" view of a flat earth, half of these are jabs at the medieval church largely because hating the Church in the 18th century was a thing among scholars. |
| 12:05.31 | Monet_ | 19th century* |
| 12:06.19 | Monet_ | These misconceptions were either unintentional or fabricated to make the senior clergly look li a bunch of backward morons. |
| 12:07.29 | Monet_ | Actually these same authors seem to be the ones who also spread the idea that the middle ages were a time when science and invention was tantamount to heresy. |
| 12:09.05 | Monet_ | Andrew Dickinson White published two books, "The Warfare of Science" and the double-volume "History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom" exaggerate the church's attitude to science. |
| 12:11.01 | Monet_ | And was one of the caalysts for the common image of the Dark Ages being a time where everyone thought the Earth was flat, the Church was violently abhorrent to rational thought and intellectualls were persecuted. |
| 12:11.24 | Monet_ | And invention being an concept of Satan |
| 12:13.41 | Monet_ | Talk about history being written by the winners. |
| 12:13.57 | drom | Wormy: http://i.imgur.com/KkUB0dL.jpg |
| 12:14.59 | Wormy | Whoooowee, would ya look at that! |
| 12:17.33 | Monet_ | "When Columbus lived, people thought that the earth was flat. They believed the Atlantic Ocean to be filled with monsters large enough to devour their ships, and with fearful waterfalls over which their frail vessels would plunge to destruction. Columbus had to fight these foolish beliefs in order to get men to sail with him. He felt sure the earth was round." >>an introduction within the 1919 schoolbook "The Boys' and Girls' Reade |
| 12:18.03 | Monet_ | The introduction itself was for a COlumbus Day suggested reading list |
| 12:18.46 | Monet_ | This was but part of a trend during the first half of the 20th century. |
| 12:19.47 | Monet_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_We_Go and then there's this Warner Bros. gem |
| 12:24.05 | Monet_ | So the flat earth myth was born from misconceptions, misunderstanding of the intentions of people in the past and then nurtured by aggressive derogatory portrayals of the Church and commemorative appreciation for Christopher COlumbus. |
| 12:24.59 | Monet_ | And it just spiralled out of control from there |
| 12:26.08 | Monet_ | These Flat Earth communities think they're being romantics for holding on to "old truths" are all deluded. |

| 13:25.45 | Monet_ | And I think he'll become transhuman by the time he becomes an angel-god-bunnyman |
| 13:27.11 | Imperios | I think transhuman implies technological transformation, not supernatural |
| 13:28.33 | Monet_ | The general modern society term probably. But modern science has yet to explain what ascension to angelhood is. |

| 13:52.56 | Monet_ | Most of the Ronald McDOnald pictures I see have him pulling a variation of this face http://www.rankopedia.com/CandidatePix/110201.gif , but what kind of face is it? |
| 13:54.19 | Imperios | Hi Oluap |
| 13:54.29 | Imperios | Wait |
| 13:54.32 | Imperios | When did Oluap appear? |
| 13:54.56 | Monet_ | Oluap is our resident Brazillian ninja. |
| 13:55.23 | Hachiman | Funny cuz Brazil has a large number of Japanese residents |
| 13:56.09 | OluapPlayer | unsheathes his grorious nippon steel katana unfolded a gorillon times |
| 13:56.09 | Monet_ | And a bunch of oriental martial arts evolved in Brazil. |

| 13:58.21 | Imperios | This is now OluapPlayer's true form |
| 13:58.33 | Monet_ | My sides! |
| 13:58.46 | OluapPlayer | Goddamnit that was supposed to be a secret |
| 13:58.53 | OluapPlayer | Now everyone will know |
| 13:59.06 | Hachiman | c nao u know y i am da way i is |
| 14:00.37 | Imperios | This reminds me, we had a few teenage Latin American and British neighbours |
| 14:00.41 | Imperios | In Hungary |
| 14:00.58 | Imperios | For some reason they thought Saint-Petersburg was in Asia |
| 14:01.37 | Monet_ | Well... |
| 14:01.54 | Monet_ | I think there's a bit of a blur as to where Europe stops and Asia begins |
| 14:02.10 | Imperios | But Saint-Petersburg is *strictly* in Europe hur, it borders Finland |
| 14:02.16 | OluapPlayer | Check where the longswords start becoming katanas |
| 14:02.17 | OluapPlayer | dats wher |
| 14:02.51 | Imperios | It's even called "the Window to Europe" poetically |
| 14:03.38 | Imperios | I assume that they didn't know where it was, so when they saw me and I stated that I am from Saint-Petersburg they made a (fairly logical, mind you) assumption |
| 14:03.49 | Monet_ | OlaupPlayer: That makes me wonder what they use for swords in China |
| 14:04.05 | Imperios | Monet_: They're called dai or something |
| 14:04.13 | Monet_ | Because I myself an mot sure |
| 14:04.14 | Imperios | But they are more European-ish |
| 14:04.17 | Imperios | As in, symmetrical |

| 14:05.25 | Monet_ | I ninja u |
| 14:06.14 | Monet_ | I get Oluap's joke but it seems katanas are restricted to Japan |
| 14:06.25 | Monet_ | Monogls I think used something akin to a scimitar |
| 14:06.28 | Ghel | That just means that Japan is the only country in Asia. |
| 14:06.35 | OluapPlayer | Of course |
| 14:06.44 | OluapPlayer | As you all know I don't really know weapons at all |
| 14:07.00 | OluapPlayer | I only learned there are more kinds of swords than longswords when I started playing Dark Souls |
| 14:07.08 | Hachiman | dats dum |
| 14:07.10 | Imperios | Monet_: Well |
| 14:07.22 | Hachiman | Surely you knew what a katana was before playing Dark Souls hur |
| 14:07.25 | Imperios | Some Korean swords are katana-like |
| 14:07.32 | Hachiman | To be fair you don't get samurai-like armour anywhere else |
| 14:07.41 | OluapPlayer | Well yeah |
| 14:07.49 | OluapPlayer | Still what matters is that it's a sword |
| 14:08.20 | Monet_ | So...what about scimitars? |
| 14:08.50 | OluapPlayer | I didn't really know the difference between a normal sword and a curved one until recently |
| 14:08.55 | Monet_ | Ahh I see |
| 14:09.07 | Imperios | One thing I find funny in Japanese history is that there was a period in it when Japan invaded Korea with swords and stuff while Koreans had http://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1395/56/1395567993980.jpg fucking missile launchers |
| 14:09.24 | Imperios | It's like IRL Warhammer 40k |
| 14:09.28 | OluapPlayer | To me they were all just swords |
| 14:09.33 | OluapPlayer | And katanas were just japanese swords |
| 14:09.36 | Monet_ | Research is nerdy but it does help a lot. |
| 14:09.51 | OluapPlayer | I didn't have much interest in it |
| 14:09.54 | OluapPlayer | I do now though |
| 14:10.04 | Imperios | Japanese - FOR THE EMPEROOOOOR | Korean - FOR THE GREATER GOOD |
| 14:10.06 | Monet_ | Imperios: Won't those things' accuracy on par with a blunderbus? |
| 14:10.13 | Monet_ | Weren't* |
| 14:10.21 | Imperios | The first battlecry even fits the real life hur |
| 14:10.26 | Imperios | Monet_: That's why there were lots of them and they were explosive |

| 14:10.59 | OluapPlayer | This reminds me, I watched that video you mentioned about the realism in Dark Souls combat |
| 14:11.05 | OluapPlayer | The guy makes some pretty good points |
| 14:11.38 | Monet_ | OluapPLayer: I think Panda linked a similr (or perhaps the same) video not too long ago. |
| 14:11.43 | Monet_ | Oh wait |
| 14:11.47 | Monet_ | I know the video you mean |
| 14:12.44 | Monet_ | When it comes to combat, practicality is preferred over flamboyancy because flamboyancy can easily get you killed |
| 14:13.55 | OluapPlayer | It makes sense for the character to look like an amateur in combat because as far as we know, he/she really is an amateur |
| 14:13.55 | Monet_ | That and a longsword heavier than 2kg is stupid and if competence with a 20kg greatsword is an indicator of anything, its that the wielder would be a horror with a normal greatsword. |
| 14:14.28 | Monet_ | I noticed in youtube comments that the PC is slower if they miss. |
| 14:14.43 | OluapPlayer | Some weapons downright say a human would never be able to lift them without supernatural strength |
| 14:14.46 | Monet_ | SO if an attack misses, it stays out slightly longer. |
| 14:15.19 | Imperios | Monet_: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TsfcJz99n4 More GW2 hentai! |
| 14:17.51 | Monet_ | From what Panda has told me, the trash mob or miniboss fights are more accurate than the boss fights: Battles rarely last as long as five minutes which is ironically the minimum length of time my brother considers a fight to be a full-on fight scene. |
| 14:18.26 | OluapPlayer | A fight against a trash mob lasts seconds at best |
| 14:18.33 | Monet_ | Exactly |
| 14:19.07 | Monet_ | But hand-to-hand combat is physically and mentally taxing. |
| 14:19.25 | OluapPlayer | It's hard to compare with the bosses because most of them are giants/demons/dragons/whatever |
| 14:20.01 | Monet_ | The general idea for a duel (between humans and perhaps certai nanimals) is to get past your opponent's defences and position yourself for a killing blow. |
| 14:20.21 | Monet_ | Unfortunately in game terms, that's boring. |
| 14:20.42 | Monet_ | Also it would get thep layer killed quickly |
| 14:20.52 | OluapPlayer | Yeah that's not fun |
| 14:22.03 | Monet_ | So rather than how it normally goes, msot games use a health bar system and even attacks that would deabilitate or get you killed you in real life like slashing the legs or stabbing the sotmach will take off a chunk of health in games. |
| 14:23.16 | Monet_ | Also its easier to program. |
| 14:23.38 | OluapPlayer | That's a problem with Dark Souls bosses, you beat most of them by slashing at their legs |
| 14:23.52 | OluapPlayer | Dark Souls 2 especially if a big offender |
| 14:23.56 | OluapPlayer | is* |
| 14:24.09 | AdmiralPanda | this reminds me of one thing that really niggled me with MGR: you cut a MG Ray's weapon pod off, and everyone assumes it's dead |
| 14:24.37 | AdmiralPanda | you caused no damage to the central processing unit, or even its core body, but it's dead because the russian guy says it is |
| 14:24.40 | Hachiman | Well you also throw the damn thing |
| 14:24.51 | OluapPlayer | IS DED DA |
| 14:25.20 | AdmiralPanda | this is true, but that's not going to cripple something that was designed for combat, and is clearly capable of resisting forces like that because it appears by jumping out of the ocean |
| 14:25.26 | Monet_ | Even if you're facing something as big as an elephant, if you slice the muscle tissue around the shins, the thing falls over. There's not much keeping it upright. |
| 14:25.48 | AdmiralPanda | I wasn't surprised at all when it came back for round two |
| 14:26.00 | Hachiman | To be fair the Ray wasn't Raiden's concern |
| 14:26.08 | Hachiman | He was in a rush to get to the PM |
| 14:26.13 | OluapPlayer | The only boss in Dark Souls which actually makes sense to attack the legs is the Iron Golem in 1, if you attack his ankles enough he falls over and becomes defenseless |
| 14:26.18 | Monet_ | Anyone who's pulled a hamstring muscle would know that you can barely walk afterwards |
| 14:26.23 | AdmiralPanda | it wasn't, but that doesn't change how silly it is that the russian guy thought it was defeated, and was surprised when it came back |
| 14:26.41 | Monet_ | Well "defeated" doesn't always mean "dead" |

| 14:45.15 | OluapPlayer | I already find hard to look at the site background |
| 14:47.00 | Monet_ | Wait I'm sudden;y curious, what's your current world and fortress caled? |
| 14:47.26 | AdmiralPanda | wait, you don't have to play DF in text form? |
| 14:48.32 | Monet_ | Nope. There are several texture packs out that turn ASCII characters into icons |
| 14:48.34 | OluapPlayer | I kinda deleted my game so I forgot |
| 14:49.10 | Monet_ | Awww |
| 14:52.03 | AdmiralPanda | hm, I might play DF knowing this |
| 14:52.12 | AdmiralPanda | are the texture packs included or are they 3rd party? |
| 14:53.03 | Monet_ | 3rd party |
| 14:53.15 | AdmiralPanda | right |

| 14:58.38 | Monet_ | The second one allows you to see a dwarf's mood, what they're doing and what skills they have as well as tell them what skills to take up |

| 14:59.07 | AdmiralPanda | right, and where do I get the core game from/which version do I need? |

| 16:14.05 | Wormy | ah I see, yes |
| 16:14.54 | Cuttlefish_ | Pretty sure the meat has to be dead |
| 16:15.19 | AdmiralPanda | dead and rotten to be precise |
| 16:16.15 | Monet_ | http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/comics/20140629-gotta-go-fast.png Eastwood's expressions: I don't think I have ever seen anyone that terrified. |
| 16:17.08 | Wormy | The bloke says the fly hatchery is "a really nice place to be" lol |
| 16:17.33 | OluapPlayer | So are we rping or not |
| 16:17.47 | Wormy | I've heard of this though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myiasis |
| 16:18.30 | Wormy | I think the flies havto lzay the eggs in you though |
| 16:18.55 | AdmiralPanda | they don't have to, it's just convenient |
| 16:19.12 | Cuttlefish_ | That is just one of those things that gives adults nightmares |
| 16:20.08 | Wormy | http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/newdelhi/doctors-remove-100-live-maggots-from-a-75-year-old-woman-s-nose/article1-746653.aspx |
| 16:20.15 | AdmiralPanda | there are some parasites that lay their eggs in living bodies, but it's not that often |
| 16:20.49 | Monet_ | The botfly terrifies me because it does this |
| 16:20.53 | Wormy | So, could one contract maggots off of another source? |
| 16:21.07 | Wormy | Like, sniffing a caracass too hard |
| 16:21.50 | Wormy | I was wondering because if they would start eating live tissue, it was making me wonder why they don't eat each other |
| 16:22.21 | Cuttlefish_ | I think I have a new number one fear |
| 16:23.02 | Monet_ | How I Met your Mother's Robin Shabotski is one of those women who wants to hear one sentence from her father to make her life complete: "Robin I'm proud of you, eh." |
| 16:23.18 | Hachiman | So nobody's interested in Son of Gotla? No? Okay cool |
| 16:23.21 | AdmiralPanda | that came out of the blue |
| 16:23.35 | Wormy | The botfly is why you don't sleep in a sheep field |
| 16:23.35 | Monet_ | I'm watching the show |
| 16:23.40 | Cuttlefish_ | I'm pretty sure if there isn't meat the maggots do eat eachother |
| 16:23.57 | Monet_ | Wormy: ...I thought it was a rainforest insect |
| 16:24.15 | AdmiralPanda | Hachiman: I read it, I just don't have much context to teh whole thing, so as I said before, it's well written but that's all I can say |
| 16:24.26 | Wormy | Nope, there are sheep botflies |
| 16:24.33 | Wormy | even in the UK I think |
| 16:24.37 | Hachiman | Then why not read the rest so you get context |
| 16:24.43 | Wormy | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oestrus_ovis |
| 16:24.52 | AdmiralPanda | because I'm doing too much to read the entirety of Ice Age |
| 16:25.02 | AdmiralPanda | just to understand one section |
| 16:25.21 | Cuttlefish_ | I don't think sheep botflies are zoonotic |
| 16:25.49 | Hachiman | Fine |
| 16:26.22 | Wormy | I'm not taking my chances :P |
| 16:26.26 | Hachiman | Wonder why I keep writing here if people are just going to flat out not read each other's stuff |
| 16:26.31 | Monet_ | I'm starting to get really tired of this "No one responds therefore no one cares" vibe. |
| 16:27.40 | Monet_ | How about the possibility of writing to explore ideas. |
| 16:27.55 | AdmiralPanda | Fine then, you know what? Just so you can get your little giggles, I'm going to stop what I was doing, sit down, start from the beginning and read Ice AGe |
| 16:27.56 | Cuttlefish_ | That thing's like 30 pages long |
| 16:28.02 | Monet_ | Or writing to express a visualisation. |
| 16:28.12 | Wormy | I just write because I enjoy it, but I do like to know that people do read my stuff sometimes |
| 16:28.18 | Hachiman | Ugh I shouldn't have said anything |
| 16:28.26 | Hachiman | Keep doing whatever you're doing |
| 16:29.05 | Cuttlefish_ | nah we like reading your stuff, ice age is just really darn long |
| 16:29.17 | Hachiman | It's not Ice Age though, it's just Son of Gotla |
| 16:29.23 | Imperios | Hachiman: TBH, I understand you |
| 16:29.27 | AdmiralPanda | No, I might as well, otherwise this same thing is going to happen every time there's a new section |
| 16:29.27 | Hachiman | It's much shorter than Ice Age |
| 16:29.31 | Imperios | I feel like I do not get enough attention as well |
| 16:29.36 | Imperios | But meh in my case it's my fault |
| 16:30.01 | Imperios | Speaking of which, Hachiman |
| 16:30.01 | Hachiman | AdmiralPanda: No, honestly don't worry about it |
| 16:30.05 | Monet_ | If you want to get a feel for an audience reading your stuff why not monetise it? That way you can gauge audience interest by how much profit you're getting from the book. |
| 16:30.05 | Cuttlefish_ | It's long enough that you can't read it while multitasking. |
| 16:30.06 | Hachiman | Read what you feel like reading |
| 16:30.16 | Imperios | I like Tetra's personality growth |
| 16:30.24 | Wormy | I can't think why Imperios, at least I don't have any reservations to reading your stuff based on anything |
| 16:30.37 | Imperios | I don't write much stuff |
| 16:30.57 | Imperios | It's funny because I have tons of ideas, but when it comes to actually realising them... |
| 16:30.58 | Wormy | Oh I see |
| 16:31.04 | Wormy | Yes that is my problem |
| 16:31.25 | Hachiman | Monet: Also answering your question, writing to express ideas is good but you won't know if those ideas work if nobody gives a toss |
| 16:31.46 | Wormy | Also I socially isolated my fiction writing short stories too far away from current plots. But I'm mendinbg this issue now by getting involved again |
| 16:32.07 | Cuttlefish_ | I have lots of idea,then it turns out some famous science fiction writer has already done it 5 times. |
| 16:32.11 | Imperios | Shirtless plot was meant to venture in the problems of duty and freedom, growing out of your parents and parent figures' shadows, and use Gnosticist symbolism and philosophy as its bases |
| 16:32.14 | Imperios | *basis |
| 16:32.25 | Imperios | Instead, boob jokes and weeaboo shit |
| 16:32.38 | Monet_ | Hachiman: You are the only one I can remember talking about Star Dragons. I still want to finish it. |
| 16:33.03 | Imperios | Monet_: Me too |
| 16:33.11 | Cuttlefish_ | Other than Hachi's occasional boob joke, when have we ever done that? |
| 16:33.29 | Imperios | Shirtless plo |
| 16:33.30 | Imperios | plot |
| 16:33.43 | Imperios | There was a scene revolving around Thessina's flat chest |
| 16:34.12 | Imperios | Which is kinda strange considering that her mother, Venoriel, is extremely busty |
| 16:34.28 | OluapPlayer | Gavakar - what is this chest you speak of |
| 16:34.31 | AdmiralPanda | that's year one down |
| 16:34.54 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: Hm? |
| 16:34.57 | OluapPlayer | Can you please stop that |
| 16:34.59 | Imperios | Is that slang I don't understand |
| 16:35.13 | Imperios | I am confused |
| 16:35.24 | AdmiralPanda | not really, it just means I've finished reading Year One of Ice Age |
| 16:35.31 | Imperios | oh |

| 16:35.48 | OluapPlayer | Panda |

| 16:35.55 | Cuttlefish_ | That was wierd |
| 16:36.04 | Imperios | That was hur-tastic |
| 16:36.05 | Wormy | Oh wow, the botfly lays its eggs on smaller houseflies so that they transport it to animals while being less likely to be flicked off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vvUia-a17w |
| 16:37.46 | Cuttlefish_ | eeewwwww |
| 16:37.48 | Monet_ | More of us are going down paths in life that make us busier than before, so cmmenting becomes harder. |

| 16:42.49 | Cuttlefish_ | You mean that girl Hachi was teasing you about insisting you had some crush |

| 16:49.41 | AdmiralPanda | ? |
| 16:49.58 | Imperios | Remember the message I sent you yesterday? |
| 16:50.42 | Angrybirds | I've been wondering why I've never gotten transmissions out of the blue by other empires... |
| 16:51.28 | Wormy | Those types of messages seem to be less common now |
| 16:51.40 | AdmiralPanda | oh right |
| 16:51.51 | AdmiralPanda | the answer is yes |
| 16:52.00 | Imperios | YES YES YES YES YES YES! |
| 16:52.03 | Imperios | I feel so happy now |

| 16:53.34 | Wormy | I haven't had one in ages |
| 16:53.34 | Monet_ | I think they were on the way out while I was new-ish here. |
| 16:53.43 | Angrybirds | Why is that? |
| 16:53.55 | OluapPlayer | Not much point to it when people can just talk through IRC |
| 16:53.59 | Wormy | The last one I sent was from my STO character Toberek to the DI lol |

| 17:07.44 | Monet_ | Terraforming doesn't guarentee 1g gravity all over |

| 17:23.23 | OluapPlayer | "Oh god, child climbed up a tree and couldn't get down. I don't like children very much, so I order the tree to be chopped down. What happens? Child jumps onto the dwarf who cut the tree down. Seems fine right?

| 18:25.34 | Monet_ | I also see its a good way to see which party is dominant in France |
| 18:27.08 | Angrybirds | Yeah, and the current party is pretty well engrained. |
| 18:27.44 | AdmiralPanda | nether portal is complete, soon to be operational |
| 18:28.20 | Monet_ | Now you just need to build one at the right point within the Nether |
| 18:28.46 | AdmiralPanda | what for? |

| 18:29.23 | Monet_ | In case we need to build more. |

| 18:39.31 | Monet_ | Yeah, I had to choose between building a Carribean North Korea and building something on Minecraft. |
| 18:39.34 | AdmiralPanda | no agriculture blocks, so we actually have to farm nether wart in the nether |
| 18:43.04 | TekDroid | "Carribean North Kore"? |
| 18:43.08 | TekDroid | *Korea |
| 18:43.43 | Monet_ | That's prettymuch how most Tropico games start - a hitty island with a few houses and a terrible economy |

| 19:46.50 | Wormy_ | These films are gold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_(film) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountain |
| 19:47.57 | Wormy_ | But I do agree, I am fed up of sci-fi films these days |
| 19:48.09 | Wormy_ | We need more hard SF or specul;ative SF films. |
| 19:48.21 | Wormy_ | bbl dinner |
| 19:53.03 | TekDroid | I would like to see some real hard sci-fi films. |
| 19:54.14 | Monet_ | Correct me but doesn't the uploaded intelligence in Transcendant go evil or something? |
| 19:55.13 | TekDroid | Not sure. Wanted to see that but never had the chance. |
| 19:55.29 | TekDroid | The trailers gave me the impression yes. |
| 19:58.39 | TekDroid | I was getting a lot of anti-AI feeling from it though. |
| 20:01.39 | Monet_ | That's the only kind of AI hollywood seems to prefer |
| 20:02.55 | TekDroid | Hollywood seems to be in a very pro-religion, anti-advanced technology period. |
| 20:04.33 | TekDroid | In a very traditional and nostalgic period for media in general, IMO |
| 20:05.55 | TekDroid | But I'd like if if for once the AI wasn't a bad guy of a movie. |
| 20:06.01 | Monet_ | Agreed |
| 20:07.47 | TekDroid | I'm thinking through all the sci-fi media I've seen... so far the only one I can think of where an AI wasn't bad is Star Wars and Star Trek. |
| 20:08.26 | TekDroid | Of course the former is kinda ruined by the Seperatist army. |
| 20:08.49 | TekDroid | and the latter would also be ruined by the Borg. |
| 20:10.00 | TekDroid | Wow, hollywood really is against AIs and robots. |

| 20:12.14 | TekDroid | From a media perspective I can see why they often do it.after all |
| 20:13.17 | TekDroid | *After all, what's the easiest use of a superintelligent character who's stereotypically emotionless and very vulnerable to hollywood hacking? |
| 20:13.35 | drom | Hachiman: http://i.imgur.com/Bnymmsl.gif |
| 20:13.52 | Monet_ | Also you said they're pro-religious. "How can morality be imparted onto a soulless machine" |
| 20:14.30 | TekDroid | Yep. |
| 20:14.45 | TekDroid | Also the "creative sterility" trope. |
| 20:17.02 | TekDroid | Plus machines have the ability of not offending any religious, cultural or ideological groups when used as a villain. |
| 20:21.39 | TekDroid | Hollywood has reinforced tropes and stereotypes so well that intelligent machines are the prefect target. |

| 22:30.57 | Wormy_ | WTF https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1524969274393694 |
| 22:31.08 | Wormy_ | Sorry, wromg link |
| 22:31.18 | Wormy_ | http://pulptastic.com/guy-figured-ride-pallet-work-video/ |
| 22:34.59 | TekDroid | Lol, that is awesome. |
| 22:35.15 | Wormy_ | I'd like Argentina to win the next match, so that there is at least one South American team to go against Europeans |
| 22:36.59 | Wormy_ | I wonder if this will kill football a bit in Brazil. I mean, all the controversy over the world cub being held there and now a young team which can't reach the finals. |
| 22:37.14 | TekDroid | One of my other communities was running a FIFA thing and my section chose Netherlands. So they're the only team I've really even been slightly interested in. |
| 22:39.03 | Wormy_ | Since le Tour de France started I had forgotten about World Cup a bit |
| 22:39.17 | TekDroid | Both semi-finals are Europeans vs South Americans though... |
| 22:39.18 | Wormy_ | but this has brought me back |
| 22:39.51 | Wormy_ | If Argentina go out though, it will only be Europe left |
| 22:40.16 | Wormy_ | Argentina gives perhaps the whole of South America to rest their hopes on |
| 22:40.53 | Wormy_ | I was so excited about le Tour I actually went to see stage 2 |
| 22:45.35 | Wormy_ | Some of the comments here really fucking piss me off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B96ldgjS_kw |
| 22:45.58 | The_Randomness | YouTube comments are trash, just ignore them |
| 22:46.44 | Wormy_ | They accuse Cavendish of being a "menace" or crashing in purpose. Fucking idiots, when a sprinter sprints at over 40 mph they have little time to think, they just have to choose a line and make a run for it, even through slower people in front |
| 22:47.20 | Wormy_ | They are obviously jealous, Cavendish is one of the fastest riders on the planet ever |
| 22:47.58 | Wormy_ | Unfortunately, he crashed in stage 1 on his own home turf just before he could make the last few hundred metres, fell on his shoulder and had to quit |
| 22:48.38 | Wormy_ | I was gutted when he crashed |
| 22:48.45 | Monet_ | Oooh nasty |
| 22:48.50 | Wormy_ | He might appear in the Tour of Spain though |
| 22:49.55 | Wormy_ | his pa=ge says it all http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cavendish |
| 22:50.03 | Monet_ | Hope so, he's one of our best riders. |
| 22:51.15 | Monet_ | So far the Minecraft server appears to be going well. The only major hiccup so far being Panda accidentally setting his house on fire. |
| 22:52.11 | Wormy_ | Right, I'm going to put Minecraft on my new PC tomorrow and join if thats okay |
| 22:52.27 | Monet_ | Sure. That would be great |
| 22:53.35 | The_Randomness | What's this about a Minecraft server? |
| 22:53.38 | The_Randomness | Monet_: Does the server have mods or anything? |
| 22:54.11 | Monet_ | The_Randomness: No mods unfortunately |
| 22:54.18 | The_Randomness | k |
| 22:54.27 | Wormy_ | Is it still in survival? |
| 22:55.10 | The_Randomness | Not sure why he didn't just tell you guys about my server. (totally no shameless self promotion here) |
| 22:55.14 | Monet_ | Yes, but Xho and I have found a way to give certain users the ability to switch to creative if they wish |

| 23:17.28 | TekDroid | Keeping the flag, just don't want to use its symbol for obvious reasons. |
| 23:17.42 | TekDroid | As it's just the symbol part |
| 23:21.37 | TekDroid | creating the Spore symbol was quite accidental though. Took the galaxy symbol I made, threw it on a Farengeto blue background, then thought it looked better with a white border. Then I realized what I had done. XF |
