| 00:01.32 | Wormy_ | I asked what would the game look like if you left it as it was, or is it pure code without objects or sprites |
| 00:10.43 | odell | Oh. I didn't get the message. |
| 00:10.56 | odell | Well. To answer that... |
| 00:12.59 | odell | Oh crap. My editor is getting fried by all the 1000000 stars it has to view. |
| 00:13.21 | Tek0516 | O.o |
| 00:13.37 | odell | Well. It's currently purely entities. |
| 00:13.46 | odell | But it's dangerous to view them all at once. |
| 00:14.06 | odell | The program is itself capable to store it all at once. But not capable to render them all. |
| 00:14.17 | Tek0516 | I think trying to display a million of anything is bad. :P |
| 00:14.49 | odell | Tek0516: http://s16.postimg.org/lasxrcxvp/screenshot_173.png |
| 00:15.14 | odell | I tried to collapse a list, which I later then realised that it contained 1000000 unique entities. |

| 00:15.33 | Tek0516 | lol |
| 00:17.16 | odell | RIP unity |
| 00:18.21 | odell | Wormy_: Anyway. There's a full snippet of the current generation code. http://s16.postimg.org/5qlk0tnr9/screenshot_174.png |
| 00:20.58 | odell | And if you wonder what ulong is. It's the unsigned long type. It can store values from 0 up to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615. |
| 00:21.29 | odell | Imagine filling the whole RAM with 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 celestial bodies. |
| 00:22.55 | odell | 18,5 fucking billion twatwit billion stars. |
| 00:25.03 | Wormy_ | Jhesu |
| 00:25.54 | odell | Let's 18,446,744,073,709,551,615^2 and see how many planets will be there be when 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 each star. |
| 00:26.38 | odell | >MATH Error |
| 00:27.29 | odell | Oh well. Let's say: 1,85 10^((10*2)^2) |
| 00:28.02 | odell | (21^2) not 10*2^2 |
| 00:29.07 | odell | 441 zeroes |
| 00:32.09 | odell | 4.41 times the googolplex (10^100) |
| 00:33.15 | odell | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googolplex |
| 00:34.22 | odell | Wait. Dum me |
| 00:35.08 | odell | I shouldn't be up at late when tired and after being coded a complex program whole the day. |
| 00:38.38 | odell | Wormy_: I wish I could relive the nostalgia of making snakes out of error dialogs in Windows XP. |
| 00:40.38 | Wormy_ | heh |
| 00:41.03 | Wormy_ | Ah Windows XP |
| 00:41.20 | odell | http://www.suodenjoki.dk/images/news/2004/ie6crash.jpg |
| 00:42.04 | odell | I kind of miss the compability to run 16-bit programs. |
| 00:42.27 | odell | Most of the best nostalgia comes from these. |

| 02:04.55 | Needles_10 | I am updationg |
| 02:05.21 | Needles_10 | updating content database on my computer. reinstalling GA |
| 02:09.37 | Needles_10 | ~test |
| 02:09.37 | infobot | test is probably not funny |
| 02:12.03 | Needles_10 | I wonder if anyone is here |
| 02:13.36 | Comrade_Vinny | Yes. Hi! |
| 02:13.41 | Comrade_Vinny | Newcomer? |
| 02:14.56 | Needles_10 | hi. not a newcomer. |
| 02:15.05 | Needles_10 | just been...long gone |
| 02:15.39 | Needles_10 | and GA is not being a responsive thing |
| 02:16.22 | Needles_10 | keeps "updating content database" without really "doing anything" |
| 02:16.48 | Needles_10 | which is really, really annoying. it always happens. |
| 02:16.55 | Needles_10 | :/ |

| 02:27.03 | Needles_10 | hi drodo |
| 02:27.55 | Needles_10 | okay, why the hell does it take as long as it is each time I try loading GA? THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND I AM NOT PLEASED. |
| 02:30.19 | DrodoEmpire | Spore's a pretty big game. :P |
| 02:33.44 | Needles_10 | I know. i just don't recall the update content database thing taking THIS LONG |
| 02:33.58 | Needles_10 | And is the Fic Verse still a thing |
| 02:34.07 | DrodoEmpire | Yes, of course |
| 02:34.18 | DrodoEmpire | It evolved a lot though |
| 02:34.21 | Needles_10 | oh, good. |
| 02:34.32 | Needles_10 | How much? |
| 02:34.43 | Needles_10 | do fill me in. I did take a quick look. |
| 02:34.53 | DrodoEmpire | The other big fictionverse is the Fantasyverse which could probably use more users |
| 02:34.58 | DrodoEmpire | Well |
| 02:35.04 | DrodoEmpire | The political situation's changed. |
| 02:35.42 | DrodoEmpire | Currently the Human countries (especially France) have asserted themselves in Gigaquadrantic affairs, built international organizations, etc. |
| 02:36.23 | Needles_10 | ah. I did see they got themselves involved in the xo-something, the French did |
| 02:36.33 | DrodoEmpire | Currently a large war going on in the Milky way (and also some Mirus colonies and whatnot) is going on, which basically pits the DCP against the "Orion League", a large UN-like entity of nations |
| 02:36.44 | DrodoEmpire | Xonexi Schism |
| 02:36.51 | Needles_10 | Yes. That. |
| 02:37.03 | DrodoEmpire | Well, its the Xonexi Allies (basically most of the Orion League) vs the DCP and a couple supporters |
| 02:37.15 | Needles_10 | Indeed |
| 02:37.31 | DrodoEmpire | As for characters? They also changed a lot but you'd need to ask someone like Hachi or Xho for more detailed information there |
| 02:37.49 | DrodoEmpire | The main "cast" of course is there, but they've changed some |
| 02:37.50 | Needles_10 | I see. Xhodocto have neutralized |
| 02:38.05 | DrodoEmpire | They've sort-of faded into the background, yeah |
| 02:38.15 | DrodoEmpire | Existing, but not direct influencing affairs |
| 02:38.28 | DrodoEmpire | If you don't mind my asking, when did you leave? |
| 02:38.37 | Needles_10 | Months and months |
| 02:38.42 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
| 02:38.44 | DrodoEmpire | Alright |
| 02:38.53 | Needles_10 | I remember you thiugh |
| 02:38.58 | DrodoEmpire | :3 |
| 02:39.03 | Needles_10 | :D |
| 02:39.12 | Needles_10 | you were always good |
| 02:39.16 | DrodoEmpire | Aw |
| 02:39.18 | Needles_10 | -pat pat- |
| 02:39.24 | DrodoEmpire | is flattered |
| 02:39.35 | Needles_10 | I remember when you came here, yes |
| 02:39.37 | DrodoEmpire | Speaking of the Drodo they changed a lot too. :P Lots of colonies and stuff |
| 02:39.49 | Needles_10 | Neato! |
| 02:39.58 | DrodoEmpire | Fighting for the Xonexi and now use (mechanical) horse cavalry because why not |
| 02:40.02 | Needles_10 | I think I may start small too |
| 02:40.22 | DrodoEmpire | With lots of shielding, vibroswords, and assault rifles to make them functional |
| 02:40.29 | Needles_10 | I may join the xonexi because it's a little group and I'm fond of them |
| 02:40.54 | DrodoEmpire | Well they're a mind-bogglingly massive coalition :P But yeah its mostly smaller nations |
| 02:41.07 | Needles_10 | Heh, really? |
| 02:41.14 | Needles_10 | the zonexi? |
| 02:41.18 | Needles_10 | xonexi* |
| 02:41.52 | DrodoEmpire | Well, they have a lot of nations |
| 02:42.04 | Needles_10 | ic |
| 02:42.46 | DrodoEmpire | But each individual one has only a fraction the technological advancement and production capacity of the DCP, making them even really |
| 02:42.48 | DrodoEmpire | Granted, |
| 02:43.07 | DrodoEmpire | The tech disparity is bridged largely by the Xonexi's use of "Angelfire" missiles. |
| 02:43.14 | Needles_10 | how does "Aphyo |
| 02:43.28 | Needles_10 | sound for a species and empire name? |
| 02:43.33 | DrodoEmpire | Sure |
| 02:43.52 | DrodoEmpire | Angelfires are missiles that have a pretty average yield, but have hyperdrives attached to them so they can be fired from hundreds of lightyears away |
| 02:44.08 | Needles_10 | oh wow |
| 02:44.11 | DrodoEmpire | Few other nations have an equivalent arm at the moment; Mostly because the idea's never been considered |
| 02:44.20 | DrodoEmpire | Despite it being a relatively simple one |
| 02:44.24 | Needles_10 | That's actually really smart |
| 02:44.34 | DrodoEmpire | Well I didn't come up with it. XD But yeah |
| 02:44.41 | Needles_10 | ((still updating content database)) |
| 02:45.04 | Needles_10 | The Aphyo will be a rather quiet people |
| 02:45.24 | Needles_10 | but they use their minds on their design |
| 02:45.49 | DrodoEmpire | Alright, |
| 02:46.02 | Needles_10 | they're a designing sort. engineering. they put a lot of this to use in their war Dept. |
| 02:46.21 | Needles_10 | astronaval, that is |
| 02:46.23 | DrodoEmpire | Alright |
| 02:46.28 | DrodoEmpire | So a very creative people |
| 02:46.43 | Needles_10 | More like "industrious" |
| 02:46.54 | Needles_10 | but they are creative, yes |
| 02:47.05 | Needles_10 | tinkerers, you could say |
| 02:47.44 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 02:48.02 | Needles_10 | Probably multi-limbed |
| 02:48.13 | DrodoEmpire | As are humans. :P |
| 02:48.17 | Needles_10 | need to think of a body fo |
| 02:48.21 | Needles_10 | format* |
| 02:49.14 | Needles_10 | thin? top/bottom/centerheavy? |
| 02:49.31 | Wormy__ | I thought of the hyperspatial missile years ago |
| 02:49.39 | Needles_10 | WORMY |
| 02:49.42 | Needles_10 | AAHEY |
| 02:49.51 | Wormy__ | To me Angelfire is a variant |
| 02:49.53 | Wormy__ | Hi |
| 02:49.59 | Needles_10 | Been a while. |
| 02:51.08 | Needles_10 | I'm coming back to join the "gang" again |
| 02:51.14 | Wormy__ | They were used extensively in March of the Apocelaypse and the Imperial Civil War/Girdo Campaigns (where they had black hole payloads) |
| 02:51.15 | Needles_10 | gang being you guys |
| 02:51.30 | Needles_10 | Oh wow. Girdle. |
| 02:51.35 | Needles_10 | girdo * |
| 02:51.44 | Needles_10 | Autocorrect, you idiot |
| 02:51.48 | Wormy__ | Welcome back |
| 02:51.58 | Needles_10 | thanks. |
| 02:52.05 | Wormy__ | Got some fiction to catch up with I see |
| 02:52.18 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy: Whoops. :P Well, I would suppose that those where rarely used |
| 02:52.32 | Wormy__ | Yes, only used by hyperpowers |
| 02:52.35 | Needles_10 | yes. drodo has filled me in a bit. |
| 02:52.47 | DrodoEmpire | I suppose the Angelfire was the first hyperspatial missile to be used as a standard battlefield weapon |
| 02:53.11 | Needles_10 | I'm just waiting for Spire GA to update its content database |
| 02:53.17 | Needles_10 | taken nearly an hour |
| 02:53.17 | Wormy__ | Angelfire is one of those things as a consequence of the hyperspatial revolution which has closed the gap a bit I guess |
| 02:53.35 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy: It is. |
| 02:54.24 | Wormy__ | Drodo: I imagine hyperspace missiles look like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXuaCaLmtX8 |
| 02:54.25 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy: It was really a result of the hyperspatial revolution and one of the major reasons the Xonexi can stand toe-to-toe against the DCP; Who largely still use more traditional battleships (to my knowledge) |
| 02:54.40 | Needles_10 | it's taking too long, I think. |
| 02:55.25 | Wormy__ | Lol you need to read up more on the DCP some time |
| 02:55.50 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy: Not to be overly critical, but I would if it where better organized... |
| 02:55.52 | DrodoEmpire | :L |
| 02:55.57 | Needles_10 | guh |
| 02:56.02 | Wormy__ | They take full advantage of nano to the astronomical scale warfare |
| 02:56.17 | Needles_10 | I will try launching again |
| 02:56.41 | Wormy__ | DCP ships have dueled with Tyranny warship on picosecond reaction times thanks to FTL technology |
| 02:56.53 | Wormy__ | Can you even imagine that |
| 02:56.57 | Needles_10 | Nope. |
| 02:57.46 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy: You seem to be getting a *wee* defensive? |
| 02:57.55 | Needles_10 | OH FFS |
| 02:58.03 | Wormy__ | To be fair, my pages aren't readily updated and a lot of my stuff are spread out |
| 02:58.09 | Needles_10 | IT'S SSTILL UPDATING |
| 02:58.18 | Needles_10 | AND NOT DOING CRAP |
| 02:58.44 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy: Is it that I doubted the DCP's overwhelming power (which tbh is a bit excessive to me), or I criticized the lack of updates? :L |
| 02:58.50 | Wormy__ | No, I'm just a little annoyed when people criticise my fiction without knowing enough about it. |
| 02:59.26 | Wormy__ | Well as I said, my pages are outdated so I will forgive for that |
| 02:59.35 | DrodoEmpire | Its fully within my rights to criticize. I would have researched if the material was well-laid out and it it seems it could use work |
| 02:59.49 | DrodoEmpire | Alright |
| 03:00.26 | Wormy__ | Its just that it sounds like you think the DCP uses an outdated system simply because you've looked at a few battleships when in reality I've done quite a bit to look at space warfare and hyper-warfare |
| 03:01.28 | Needles_10 | GA refuses to update. |
| 03:01.52 | DrodoEmpire | I think they use a system that is rapidly being replaced by angelfire-like warfare, because that is all that has been demonstrated to me by my admittedly limited knowledge of the DCP's military, and direct observation in their Milky Way conflict where DCP fleets have been ripped to ribbons by Angelfire missiles |
| 03:02.26 | Wormy__ | I think ripped to ribbon is an overstatement |
| 03:02.40 | Needles_10 | help? |
| 03:02.56 | Wormy__ | They made serious errors in Mirus, but then they haven't put much effort on either war front yet imo |
| 03:03.09 | Wormy__ | Compare it to the Tyranny conflict |
| 03:03.20 | DrodoEmpire | Battle of Katar: They take horrific casualties at the hands of a determined Angelfire barrage |
| 03:04.23 | Wormy__ | I doubt they sent many elite ships in fact the Katar part of the story changed role pretty quickly |
| 03:04.38 | DrodoEmpire | Why are you so defensive? |
| 03:04.49 | DrodoEmpire | You *lost*, its okay |
| 03:05.00 | DrodoEmpire | Even the DCP has to sometimes |
| 03:05.03 | Wormy__ | You are clearly enjoying it |
| 03:05.30 | DrodoEmpire | Enjoying *this*? Not particularly. |
| 03:05.39 | AdmiralPanda | ok can we just stop the dickwaving? The issue here is you've made flawed statements due to misinterpretation or lack of information, which Wormy has admitted is partially due to him. Cut the crap |
| 03:05.52 | Needles_10 | hi Panda |
| 03:06.08 | Needles_10 | Okay, looks like GA was just NOT RESPONDING |
| 03:06.19 | Needles_10 | It freezes |
| 03:06.29 | DrodoEmpire | AdmiralPanda: This gotten out of hand, yes |
| 03:06.39 | DrodoEmpire | No need to be so aggressive. |
| 03:07.05 | Wormy__ | The facts I can see are 1) Exactly as Panda said. 2) the DCP hasn't put the effort into this war like they have in previous |
| 03:07.31 | Wormy__ | And in fact that was more or less stated in trheir war declaration |
| 03:10.15 | Wormy__ | I did respond more nastier than I should have done. I had to state what facts were misinterpreted, but if it was earlier for me, I might have stated it better |
| 03:10.30 | DrodoEmpire | I was just a dick, don't apologize. |
| 03:10.49 | DrodoEmpire | Honestly. |
| 03:10.52 | Needles_10 | huh. I hate this prohlem |
| 03:11.26 | Wormy__ | So was I. Would it be fair to say we are both stubborn old mules sometimes? |
| 03:11.33 | DrodoEmpire | I guess. |
| 03:11.52 | Needles_10 | gets really angry at spore |
| 03:12.02 | Needles_10 | It isn't doing a thing |
| 03:12.17 | Wormy__ | Needles: Is it the same computer you have? |
| 03:12.30 | Needles_10 | yes. |
| 03:12.36 | Needles_10 | it's my Pc though |
| 03:12.41 | Needles_10 | my windows one |
| 03:14.44 | Needles_10 | help |
| 03:16.58 | Wormy__ | Does it keep crashing or is the content database just being slow? |
| 03:17.25 | Needles_10 | bothish |
| 03:18.39 | Needles_10 | it wouldn't update for 50 minutes |
| 03:18.40 | Wormy__ | Connectivity might be an issue |
| 03:18.53 | Needles_10 | and it just doesn't respond |
| 03:19.09 | Wormy__ | Switch it off in the task manager |
| 03:19.21 | Wormy__ | Then try again, thats all I can say |
| 03:19.29 | Needles_10 | done 3 timew |
| 03:19.34 | Needles_10 | same result |
| 03:19.36 | Needles_10 | :// |
| 03:22.28 | Needles_10 | I am angry |
| 03:23.38 | Needles_10 | gonna try normal spore |
| 03:23.43 | Wormy__ | Wait |
| 03:23.54 | Needles_10 | yeah no good idea |
| 03:24.00 | Needles_10 | tell me what do |
| 03:24.02 | Wormy__ | All I can say is, there is a LOT of content to wait for |
| 03:24.17 | Needles_10 | wow |
| 03:24.23 | Wormy__ | Sometimes software will seem like its crashed |
| 03:24.34 | Needles_10 | spores runtime crushed |
| 03:24.40 | Wormy__ | I suggest leaving it to update al day or all night |
| 03:24.46 | Needles_10 | okay. shoot. |
| 03:25.24 | Needles_10 | I will ttry that. |
| 03:25.29 | Needles_10 | shooooooot. |

| 11:18.30 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 11:19.20 | AdmiralPanda | so my biggest mistake today was thinking orange-flavoured energy drink would be a good idea |
| 11:22.14 | OluapWorker | Why`s that |
| 11:25.15 | AdmiralPanda | it tastes disgusting XD |

| 12:03.26 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 12:03.33 | Needles_10 | Morning. |
| 12:03.57 | Needles_10 | I don't think GA actually /wants/ to work |
| 12:05.06 | Needles_10 | I left it update content database overnight |
| 12:05.08 | Needles_10 | no change |
| 12:06.54 | AdmiralPanda | by content database, you don't happen to mean the online servers used to seed your game with other peoples' creations do you? |
| 12:07.25 | AdmiralPanda | well, the servers that store other people's creatures for seeding into your game |
| 12:10.10 | Needles_10 | I might |
| 12:10.57 | AdmiralPanda | Well there's your problem- that's been down for over a year |
| 12:10.58 | Needles_10 | It's just...I left it on for nine hours overnight. It didn't do anything. |
| 12:11.01 | Needles_10 | Oh. |
| 12:11.03 | Needles_10 | ;// |
| 12:11.08 | Needles_10 | Really now? |
| 12:11.13 | AdmiralPanda | basically you're trying to connect to a server that doesn't exist anymore XD |
| 12:11.25 | Needles_10 | Oh my. I haven't known that. |
| 12:11.30 | Needles_10 | hadn't* |
| 12:11.36 | Needles_10 | So, what do I do? |
| 12:12.12 | AdmiralPanda | play the game normally- you don't need to be connected to the server to play |
| 12:12.27 | AdmiralPanda | you just won't be flooded with peoples' creations of various levels of quality |
| 12:13.19 | Needles_10 | I start it up- then it just goes to "Updating content database" |
| 12:13.33 | Needles_10 | I can't find a way to get around that |
| 12:14.48 | AdmiralPanda | you'll have to talk to someone else about it, I literally haven't touched spore in years |
| 12:14.54 | Needles_10 | Oh. |
| 12:14.55 | Needles_10 | :// |
| 12:18.18 | Needles_10 | Looks like there's actually some server work going on. |
| 12:34.06 | Needles_10 | You must be joking. |
| 12:34.17 | Needles_10 | Now Core Spore's giving me a runtime error. |

| 20:17.29 | The_Randomness | eek |
| 20:17.30 | Wormy_ | Nothing like the spiders of New Zealand |
| 20:18.28 | AdmiralPanda | are there even any exclusively native NZ spiders? I was under the impression that all the narky ones were over here |
| 20:18.41 | AdmiralPanda | certainly the case with snakes but those don't have enough legs |

| 20:20.34 | odell | New Zealanders live underwater |
| 20:20.43 | ImpyDroid2 | Impossible |
| 20:20.47 | AdmiralPanda | ImpyDroid2: Going underground |
| 20:20.53 | ImpyDroid2 | Sheep are not acquatic |
| 20:21.00 | AdmiralPanda | same way they survive sub-0 temperatures over here |
| 20:21.04 | ImpyDroid2 | And how else would they procreate |
| 20:21.25 | AdmiralPanda | furthermore, AHA! All the harmful spiders in New Zealand are actually native to Australia |

| 20:22.30 | Xho | I just didn't want to get it hur |
| 20:22.36 | AdmiralPanda | we got it, we just moved on really quickly XD |
| 20:22.39 | Xho | Aye |

| 20:24.19 | odell | Made a goblin with the last name Backwater. I just don't know why I'm laughing about it. |
| 20:24.22 | Xho | Yorkshire Rednecks apparently |
| 20:24.37 | AdmiralPanda | You have approximately 80% of James Bond |
| 20:24.58 | AdmiralPanda | which unfortunately Australia has about 10% of |
| 20:25.12 | Xho | Yeah but the James Bond films are mostly awful |
| 20:25.19 | odell | extremely worn clothes and ugly teeth |
| 20:25.21 | ImpyDroid2 | And soon Nigeria will have a few percent too |
| 20:25.27 | odell | just like rest of the UK hur |
| 20:25.57 | Xho | ImpyDroid2: Idris Elba is British |
| 20:27.02 | ImpyDroid2 | Of Nigerian descent |
| 20:27.25 | ImpyDroid2 | ...then again by that logic the Aussie guys are English too do yeah, British is British |
| 20:27.44 | AdmiralPanda | by that logic we're all middle-east african |
| 20:27.54 | AdmiralPanda | middle-east/african* |
| 20:27.57 | ImpyDroid2 | Makes sense |
| 20:28.13 | ImpyDroid2 | Probably Ethiopian |
| 20:28.32 | ImpyDroid2 | Ethiopia/Horn of Africa is where modern humans evolved, right? |
| 20:29.03 | Wormy_ | Yeah, Great Rift Valley |
| 20:29.09 | AdmiralPanda | the nile, the euphrates and the tigris |
| 20:29.13 | AdmiralPanda | those three rivers |
| 20:29.51 | ImpyDroid2 | Isn't that the birthplace of human civilisation and not humanity as a species? |
| 20:29.51 | AdmiralPanda | so modern day egypt and mesopotamia |
| 20:30.14 | AdmiralPanda | the locations are essentially identical |
| 20:30.40 | ImpyDroid2 | Right |
| 20:30.54 | AdmiralPanda | to a biologist at least, what matters isn't where the organism starts, it's where it finds its niche |
| 20:31.07 | ImpyDroid2 | Always thought humans evolved in Africa |
| 20:31.37 | AdmiralPanda | we did more-or-less, but mostly the northern part of it |
| 20:31.41 | Xho | Neolithic Jericho is more or less the oldest trace of civilisation in the world |
| 20:31.44 | AdmiralPanda | there were hominids all over the place |
| 20:32.50 | Xho | True |
| 20:33.09 | Xho | It was impossible to place where exactly civilisation began |
| 20:33.17 | AdmiralPanda | including the ones who looked kinda like pandas |
| 20:33.23 | AdmiralPanda | I'm not even kidding |
| 20:33.30 | ImpyDroid2 | And hobbits |
| 20:33.33 | ImpyDroid2 | hawbits |
| 20:34.03 | AdmiralPanda | that happened on islands |
| 20:34.17 | Wormy_ | I remember reading about a 10,000 year old settlement where people lived in a hive rather than using paths. They used nested houses dug into a cave |
| 20:34.35 | AdmiralPanda | tbh that's pretty standard |
| 20:35.06 | The_Randomness | That sounds interesting |
| 20:35.07 | Xho | Sumer is most commonly attested as the oldest 'civilisation' but traces go back way before Sumer |
| 20:35.57 | AdmiralPanda | the oldest evidence of recorded information is a few shells and nuts embedded into a clay ball |
| 20:36.29 | AdmiralPanda | from what we can tell it was probably some kind of trade record |
| 20:36.42 | ImpyDroid2 | Right if we are talking about civilisations there is also Mesoamerica and the Indus Valley |
| 20:36.47 | ImpyDroid2 | And the Yellow River |
| 20:37.07 | TekDroid | Isn't it considered to be ones like Sumer because they developed writing first or something? |
| 20:37.28 | Xho | They often say that cuneiform is the oldest writing recorded |
| 20:37.29 | TekDroid | or at least writing with evidence left behind. |
| 20:37.44 | Xho | Ancient Egyptian goes back a few centuries before cuneiform begins to pop up |
| 20:38.55 | Xho | Though you do have proto-cuneiform which goes back before Ancient Egyptian |
| 20:39.58 | Xho | Proto writing goes back way before ancient civilisation though |
| 20:40.07 | ImpyDroid2 | That's not really true writing |
| 20:40.15 | AdmiralPanda | I've already mentioned the thing about ancient egypt being home to the first recorded pornography haven't I |
| 20:40.18 | ImpyDroid2 | The Demotic script is where it begins I think |
| 20:40.33 | ImpyDroid2 | And/or later cuneiform which was syllabic |
| 20:40.33 | Xho | AdmiralPanda: yeah hur |
| 20:40.44 | AdmiralPanda | I still laugh about that |
| 20:41.05 | Xho | I thought Demotic evolved around 600 BC |
| 20:41.40 | ImpyDroid2 | What about these chubby tit ladies? |

| 20:42.27 | Xho | Yeah they're like 11,000 - 40,000 years old |
| 20:42.47 | ImpyDroid2 | These were more divine but they were supposed to show an ideal women |

| 20:43.58 | Xho | I'd usually think of the beginning of civilisation as around 7000 BC |
| 20:44.16 | Xho | Or at least the very earliest stages |
| 20:44.58 | The_Randomness | wb |
| 20:44.58 | Xho | I don't think it can be pinned down though |
| 20:45.23 | AdmiralPanda | probably not, for all we know the records were lost in soil that wasn't very suitable for leaving records |
| 20:45.52 | Xho | Most people say Mesopotamia so I'll just go with that |
| 20:45.59 | Ghel | At the earliest, you'd have to go with the development of agriculture, and even that developed independently in several places. |
| 20:47.20 | Wormy_ | I'm really annoyed, I'm trying to find a city I read about thought to be oldest (not Uruk) |
| 20:47.28 | Ghel | But in that case, you can at least lump together Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus Valley into one, since they all seem to have got their agriculture ultimately from somewhere near the former. |
| 20:47.30 | Xho | Wormy_: Eridu? |
| 20:47.33 | TekDroid | Time really depends of what you consider the threshold for civilization really. |

| 20:55.51 | Xho | That's like using Homer's Odyssey saying that the Laestrygonians were real and were actually giant cannibal people |

| 20:57.19 | Ghel | While the page reads like there might be evidence for a lost settlement in the Gulf, it's hardly conclusively a city-state. |

| 21:04.22 | Xho | "A study has confirmed that British people have the world's sexiest accents." o rly |
| 21:04.37 | Xho | I might have just opened up a can of worms with that statement |
| 21:04.53 | The_Randomness | lol |
| 21:05.28 | Xho | RP accent I can understand, any other accent is a swift and vehement no |
| 21:06.19 | TekDroid | I guess Brits can't understand how the rest of the world finds their accent.:P |
| 21:06.28 | Wormy_ | Xho: Well, all you need is to chew 5 gum and drink Coors Light and you'll have hair like that |
| 21:06.40 | Xho | hur |
| 21:06.52 | Xho | TekDroid: We have *many* accents |
| 21:06.58 | TekDroid | True. |
| 21:07.36 | Wormy_ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVhJ3wd_F04 |
| 21:07.52 | Wormy_ | Nottingham, just one city has three |
| 21:08.08 | Wormy_ | more accents than you can count |
| 21:08.10 | Xho | Southampton has like seventy |
| 21:08.20 | Wormy_ | In fact we can struggle to understand each other sometimes |
| 21:08.48 | TekDroid | Maybe us foreigners just don't notice it like Brits notice each others. :P |
| 21:09.44 | Wormy_ | Well, most of our actors and media use watered down accents (though RP and BBC accent are out of fashion and seen as elitist now) |
| 21:09.44 | Xho | As British people we can only recognise three accents in America |
| 21:09.56 | Xho | Perhaps four |
| 21:10.12 | Xho | We call them North American, South American, Californian and New York |
| 21:10.15 | Wormy_ | TekDroid: I have no idea what these people are saying hur http://youtu.be/UTVwdv9Pzo8?t=1m10s |
| 21:10.17 | The_Randomness | lol |
| 21:10.31 | The_Randomness | That sounds about right |
| 21:10.38 | TekDroid | I'm on data so I can't check. |
| 21:11.02 | Xho | And Canadian because we brits are insensitive to cultural barriers |
| 21:11.28 | Wormy_ | I've noticed thick, rural Canadian sounds almosat like rural English accents |
| 21:11.58 | Xho | We can't tell Canadian and American accents apart, except for the obvious Canadian accent quirks |
| 21:12.20 | TekDroid | Well I know some atlantic Canada regions have a thick accent, Newfoundland in particular IIRC. |
| 21:13.29 | TekDroid | I'm a poor judge of accents though. :P |
| 21:13.30 | Wormy_ | I found a recording from the 1930's of of a Somerset man and it sounded faintly American |
| 21:14.05 | Xho | Admittedly I have trouble telling a North Irish and Scottish accent apart at times |
| 21:14.16 | Xho | As well as Welsh and Northern |
| 21:14.33 | Wormy_ | http://youtu.be/XsB90aJ6Jp8?t=30s |
| 21:14.41 | Wormy_ | If anybody is interested |
| 21:15.17 | Wormy_ | Somerset dialect is rotic |
| 21:15.18 | TekDroid | I would check, but still on data. :P |

| 21:15.50 | TekDroid | Ah. |
| 21:15.59 | Wormy_ | I like to think the English settlers to America sounded like that |
| 21:16.06 | Xho | The UK is one of those places where travelling 30 miles is enough for a significant accent change |
| 21:16.30 | Wormy_ | And dialect change |
| 21:16.34 | Xho | yup |
| 21:16.52 | Xho | Having an RP accent I think makes it harder to discern accents and dialects |
| 21:17.15 | TekDroid | RP? |
| 21:17.21 | Xho | Received Pronunciation being the generic English accent |
| 21:17.44 | TekDroid | Oh. |
| 21:17.56 | Wormy_ | My own native region has many of its own words http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/DIALECT1.HTM https://nottinghamhiddenhistoryteam.wordpress.com/2012/12/12/a-translation-of-a-few-nottingham-sayings-and-phrases/ |
| 21:18.21 | Xho | It was estimated in the 1970's that less than 5% of the UK speaks with an RP accent |
| 21:18.59 | TekDroid | lol |
| 21:19.05 | Xho | I can believe that since there's only a small niche of people I can think of who speak with an RP accent |
| 21:19.35 | TekDroid | 99% of movie UKers seem to speak ut though. |
| 21:19.39 | TekDroid | *it |

| 21:21.38 | TekDroid | I'm still a horrible judge of different accents though. XD |

| 21:22.15 | Xho | I dunno what that mean either don't worry |
| 21:22.19 | Xho | means* |
| 21:22.52 | Wormy_ | If you had an English actor with a ridiculously strong accent and dialect nobody abroad would understand him, and worse, some Brits might not understand him. So most go to grammar school |
| 21:23.14 | Xho | OluapPlayer: Just saw the Q&A video post You didn't have jolly cooperation mind I see |
| 21:23.18 | Xho | More like jolly dooting |

| 21:26.59 | OluapPlayer | Imagine ringing someone's door and a trumpet noise playing |

| 21:28.50 | OluapPlayer | hur |
| 21:29.12 | Wormy_ | US accents and dialects seem to be based more on the distribution of ethnic groups in history while British accents come from ancient roots like the Vikings and Normans who settled in different areas. Plus the country wasn't well connected until the 18th century |
| 21:29.30 | Wormy_ | or even 19th |
| 21:30.06 | Technobliterator | Why are our accents so popular? |
| 21:30.17 | Technobliterator | They're fucking boring :x |
| 21:30.29 | Wormy_ | It could be said that local accents are diminishing because of transport but I don't believe it. I went to a countryside college and students from the countryside had strong accents |
| 21:31.03 | Xho | Well I like the RP accent because it's evil sounding when done right |
| 21:31.10 | Wormy_ | Nah its just that nobody likes Birmingham accent hah hah |
| 21:31.17 | Xho | That too |
| 21:31.48 | Technobliterator | I don't care for any UK accent honestly, or the UK at all |
| 21:31.55 | Wormy_ | I'm obsessed in dialects for some reason |
| 21:32.00 | Technobliterator | But maybe it's because I'm so used to it |
| 21:32.02 | Xho | OluapPlayer: Imagine a Wheel Skeleton Trumpeter |
| 21:32.12 | OluapPlayer | fug |
| 21:32.15 | Technobliterator | And...bored ofmit |
| 21:32.44 | Xho | "These skeletons wear a big wooden-spiked trumpet, allowing them to roll towards you at high speed, thus inflicting a large amount of DOOT if in their way." |
| 21:33.35 | Xho | We should have Wheel Skeletons in the Fantasyverse |
| 21:33.45 | Xho | Mainly for the fact they're scary |
| 21:34.06 | Wormy_ | imagines a giant wheel made of sketetons and sewn skin |
| 21:35.15 | Wormy_ | killed chat |
| 21:35.23 | TekDroid | Canadian accents really do seem to be that distribution of settlers though. |
| 21:35.56 | Wormy_ | I suppose they srttled over a wider area and also moved about a lot more |
| 21:36.16 | Wormy_ | So less per square kilometre like we have here lol |
| 21:36.42 | Xho | Wormy_: http://darksouls.wdfiles.com/local--files/enemies/skeleton-wheel.jpg |
| 21:36.43 | odell | Alright. I'm asking again because I didn't get any... which Creature do you think should be this month's featured fiction? |
| 21:36.48 | Wormy_ | alrights thats an exaggeration probably |
| 21:37.24 | Wormy_ | Looks both scary and unfortunately cumbersome |
| 21:37.26 | odell | Xho: That graphics gives me desire to replay Skyrim. |
| 21:37.57 | Xho | One could probably import Dark Souls NPCs into Skyrim if they had enough knowhow |
| 21:38.14 | Xho | Hm maybe not if they run on different physics engines |
| 21:38.46 | Wormy_ | Maybe import into Maya and then export |
| 21:39.13 | odell | Skyrim's engine doesn't support unique behaviour as far I know. |
| 21:39.19 | Wormy_ | You can get Maya to import just about any file type using scripts |
| 21:39.39 | Wormy_ | You might need to cut stuff out I dunno |
| 21:40.17 | odell | It also requires a certain bunch of scripting in order to get them working. |
| 21:40.26 | Xho | Hm |
| 21:40.35 | Xho | Dark Souls NPCs in Gmod would work |
| 21:40.42 | odell | A load of object propertities fiddling too. |
| 21:40.51 | odell | then you need LUA |
| 21:40.59 | TekDroid | Canada apparently has a very much lower differentiation in accents than the US. They even lump all of Canada from BC to Ontario into one dialect area with some regional differences. |
| 21:42.37 | Wormy_ | Tek: This sound map gives you an idea http://sounds.bl.uk/sound-maps/accents-and-dialects |
| 21:42.45 | Wormy_ | Even that is incomplete |
| 21:43.24 | TekDroid | Basically you have Western Canada, Quebec French, the Maritimes, Newfoundland and Northern Canada. |
| 21:44.18 | TekDroid | Wormy_: Oh my |
| 21:46.11 | TekDroid | http://www.digitaljournal.com/img/2/4/5/4/6/0/i/1/4/8/o/EnglishDialects.jpg I found this of North America. |
| 21:48.05 | Wormy_ | I think there are lots of North American accents its just that they are distributed differently |
| 21:48.26 | Wormy_ | Looking at that you can see it |
| 21:51.32 | TekDroid | Canadian accents are much more similar to each other as you can tell from the map. Quebec obviously comes from the French majority and the Maritimes comes from the Scottish and Irish apparently. |
| 21:52.49 | odell | I think Character is a better word than Captain |
| 21:53.51 | TekDroid | Character is a better fit for the namespace in general these days. |
| 21:53.54 | Wormy_ | As I said, I don't know what part of Canada he was from but his accent was very strong |
| 21:54.05 | Wormy_ | and quite distinct |
| 21:54.25 | odell | I really need nominees now. |
| 21:54.29 | Wormy_ | Ah Nova Scotia |
| 21:54.43 | odell | The only three polls are up. And they have only 1 item each. |
| 21:54.59 | TekDroid | Nova Scotia's heritage should be obvious from the name. >.> |

| 21:55.49 | odell | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Top_10_list:February_2015:_Featured_Creature |
| 21:55.58 | odell | Gimme Creature nominees and I'll add them. |
| 21:56.17 | odell | Same for Fiction, Story and Character/Captain |
| 21:56.37 | TekDroid | Maritimes are the strong accents. Apparently a lot of it is derived from Scotland, Ireland and Southwestern England. |
| 21:56.38 | Technobliterator | I wish I could contribute |
| 21:56.59 | Technobliterator | I wish I was still around in the fictionverse at times |
| 21:57.12 | odell | Like I told few days ago, Cyrannian told to me that he will be busy this month so he asked me if I was willing to help him. So I did. |
| 21:58.25 | odell | I'm not going to nominate for now to maintan neutrality. |
| 21:58.52 | odell | maintain* |
| 21:59.35 | Wormy_ | I don't know about you but I find New Zealand accents sound more British than Australian ones |
| 22:01.59 | odell | Oh well. I'm going to move over the January's nominations (that didn't win) to this month's. |
| 22:02.38 | TekDroid | :( |
| 22:02.43 | odell | I'm becoming easily irritated because of this. |
| 22:03.03 | odell | Also, self-nomination is allowed. |
| 22:03.37 | TekDroid | I have nothing to nominate of mine. :/ |
| 22:04.34 | Wormy_ | I think the top creation list thing is dead |
| 22:04.55 | Wormy_ | Its no longer novel and has become a boring fixture |
| 22:05.49 | Wormy_ | I suggest we develop something new |

| 22:09.14 | Indigo_ | So I'lkl just have to publicate and edit.... |
| 22:12.35 | TekDroid | You'll typically only deal with that when you're editing a page's infobox, the normal editor doesn't have that issue. |

| 22:17.21 | odell | I moved over from the January lists. Due to nominations backwater and... you see, general disinterest. |
| 22:18.58 | TekDroid | We should probably try and fix that editor bug, I've been here nearly two years and it was there when I joined. XD |
| 22:19.45 | odell | How fix that bug: DON'T FUCKING USE THE VISUALEDITOR |

| 22:32.25 | Xho | By the looks of things the typical Gmodder likes video game OSTs and Pokemon |

| 22:33.07 | Xho | I have been tempted to continue to do Gmod things on DA in comic-style but I can't get my ass into gear |
| 22:33.57 | OluapPlayer | top lazi |
| 22:34.38 | Xho | There's such hard pressure to have good animation quality nowadays I didn't have as much fun in doing my last few videos as I did my first few |
| 22:40.21 | Xho | At least my screenshot skills aren't too shabby nowadays |
| 22:41.58 | OluapPlayer | I have no idea how you take high-quality pics in Gmod |
| 22:42.16 | Xho | Most of it is the Super-DOF tool |
| 22:42.27 | Xho | At least that's what I think it's called |
| 22:42.37 | Xho | Yeah Super DoF tool |
| 22:42.54 | Xho | Then there's the good ol' dynamic shadows |
| 22:43.09 | Xho | The rest of it is camera angle and ragdoll/prop posing |
| 22:43.34 | OluapPlayer | My pics always come out with lowered quality |
| 22:43.42 | Xho | Hm |
| 22:44.47 | Xho | Do have all the visual settings maxed out |
| 22:47.32 | OluapPlayer | I don't, that slows my game to a crawl |
| 22:47.51 | Xho | Right |
| 22:48.03 | Xho | I have everything maxed out so that might explain it |

| 23:19.37 | Wormy_away | Wait, Wikias hasn't gone and replaced the source editor with viual editor have they? |
| 23:19.54 | Wormy_away | If they ever do that I can't stay on the wiki anymore |
| 23:21.32 | Technobliterator | No |
| 23:21.48 | Technobliterator | You can disable in prefs btw |
| 23:22.06 | Wormy_away | Already have |
| 23:22.15 | Wormy_away | Yes that's a relief |
| 23:22.51 | TekAway | Hell no. I'd rather help fund an independent wiki than be forced to use the visual editor. |
