00:38.25 | DecopodianEmpire | hey drodo |
00:38.38 | DecopodianEmpire | any new fictions out? |
00:39.46 | DrodoEmpire | Ehh |
00:39.55 | DrodoEmpire | Not on my end nope |
00:40.04 | DrodoEmpire | Unless you want to take a look at mine. :p |
00:40.27 | DecopodianEmpire | i read yours over |
00:40.42 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
00:42.10 | DecopodianEmpire | me a friend and maybe some other spodists depending on wether they get back to me or not |
00:42.18 | DecopodianEmpire | are writing the war of spodification |
00:42.23 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
00:42.25 | DrodoEmpire | I see |
00:44.01 | DrodoEmpire | http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/5/56/Drodoian_Andromedian_Colonies.png/revision/latest?cb=20150814004344 - new flag |
00:45.04 | Hachiman | Pretty good that |
00:45.07 | DecopodianEmpire | cool |
00:45.12 | DrodoEmpire | Thanks |
00:45.15 | DecopodianEmpire | my flag is this |
00:45.22 | DecopodianEmpire | Decopodianflag.jpg |
00:45.24 | DecopodianEmpire | oops |
00:45.24 | Wormy_ | very good |
00:45.26 | DecopodianEmpire | wrong |
00:45.42 | Wormy_ | I still need to remake mine :/ |
00:47.27 | DrodoEmpire | Its fine, I waited the better part of a year at least to actually flesh out the Drodoian andromedian colonies |
00:47.28 | DrodoEmpire | XD |
00:47.45 | DrodoEmpire | Figure I should actually start using them seeing as they're so nearby a lot of big fictions |
00:50.29 | DecopodianEmpire | http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/f/fic-fdce.gif |
00:50.39 | DecopodianEmpire | this is my flag |
00:57.20 | DrodoEmpire | Its alright |
00:58.13 | Wormy_ | Are they based on the Decopodians from Futurama? |
00:59.05 | Wormy_ | While that's okay, some images from the franchise may get deleted. Just putting the warning out there because we have a copyright policy. |
00:59.36 | DecopodianEmpire | the only thing similar is the name and flag |
00:59.42 | DecopodianEmpire | its fine |
01:01.40 | Hachiman | If the flag has been derived from an actual still from the series then I am afraid it is not |
01:02.00 | Wormy_ | http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/8/83/DecopodianFlag.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150808151849 |
01:02.12 | Wormy_ | This one should be deleted |
01:02.37 | Wormy_ | However if you made that flag yourself, or modify it a little bit, it should be fine |
01:02.50 | Wormy_ | I suggest modifying it |
01:03.17 | DecopodianEmpire | ok |
01:03.47 | Wormy_ | Its not that I want to, its just something that applies to us all and must be done. |
01:04.02 | DecopodianEmpire | i am trying to use paint.net to modify the photo of my creature to become smaller |
01:04.32 | DecopodianEmpire | and i will use that |
01:04.37 | DecopodianEmpire | but i have to delete things |
01:04.46 | Wormy_ | The creature is fine, your flag is mostly fine but may want some change. Its the Futurama image I'm most concerned with. |
01:04.48 | DecopodianEmpire | to gain disk space |
01:05.01 | DecopodianEmpire | which futurama image? |
01:05.08 | DecopodianEmpire | oh! |
01:05.09 | Wormy_ | http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/8/83/DecopodianFlag.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150808151849 |
01:05.09 | DecopodianEmpire | that |
01:05.25 | DecopodianEmpire | its off my fiction page |
01:05.30 | DecopodianEmpire | how do i take it off everything else |
01:06.05 | Wormy_ | Well I can delete the Futurama one |
01:06.17 | Technobliterator | Can we try not using copyrighted material? |
01:06.22 | Technobliterator | : | |
01:06.40 | Wormy_ | We can't have media from other places unless they are public domain or given permission to use them. |
01:06.51 | DecopodianEmpire | mmkay |
01:06.57 | Technobliterator | We can't have non-Spore media |
01:07.02 | Technobliterator | We cannot license it |
01:07.15 | DecopodianEmpire | i know |
01:07.20 | DecopodianEmpire | i was just notified |
01:07.21 | Technobliterator | Unless it is public domain from another source, as Wormy said |
01:08.18 | Wormy_ | As for your flag, I suggest changing it in Windows Paint or better, Paint.net or GIMP, maybe keep the theme but change it somehow so its not a copy. As for your creature and fiction, thats fine, we have fanfic already |
01:08.56 | DecopodianEmpire | mmkay |
01:09.28 | DecopodianEmpire | how much disk space dose paint.net take |
01:09.57 | Technobliterator | Almost none |
01:10.33 | Wormy_ | http://www.getpaint.net/download.html |
01:10.43 | DecopodianEmpire | i have 201 mg's left |
01:11.06 | DrodoEmpire | MB? |
01:11.23 | DecopodianEmpire | yeah sorry i ment mb |
01:11.40 | DrodoEmpire | Nah its alright |
01:11.52 | DecopodianEmpire | is 201 mb enough for pain? |
01:11.56 | DecopodianEmpire | *paint |
01:11.56 | DrodoEmpire | Do you have a lot of stuff on your computer? I'd recommend deleting stuff |
01:12.01 | DrodoEmpire | More then enough |
01:12.04 | DecopodianEmpire | ok |
01:12.06 | DrodoEmpire | Its a very small program |
01:12.06 | DecopodianEmpire | cool thanks |
01:12.35 | Wormy_ | You can always remove it if its too problematic |
01:13.27 | DecopodianEmpire | there is a setup thing called paint.net 406 |
01:13.48 | DecopodianEmpire | it still says there is not enough disk space |
01:14.16 | Wormy_ | Make sure you don't go here by accident http://www.warrenpaint.com/ |
01:14.26 | Wormy_ | ah |
01:14.41 | DecopodianEmpire | ? |
01:15.10 | Wormy_ | When I type it in google takes me there for some reason. |
01:15.55 | DecopodianEmpire | same |
01:16.14 | Wormy_ | http://www.getpaint.net/download.html |
01:17.09 | Wormy_ | Of course you could probably ask a user to make a flag for you can't install now. |
01:17.36 | DecopodianEmpire | ok what if i send a pic of my creature to someone then ask them to make it smaller |
01:17.50 | Wormy_ | Not me though, I still need to remske mine |
01:17.58 | DecopodianEmpire | yep |
01:18.29 | Wormy_ | What do you mean? A smaller picture or a picture with a small creature? |
01:19.30 | DecopodianEmpire | i made a pic of my creature with test drive and i zoomed in to my creature all the way and it says its too big to post |
01:19.36 | Wormy_ | I'm not quite sure how you do the latter without pixelating it |
01:20.22 | Wormy_ | Hm, do you mean the file has too much data, I think 10 Mb is the limit |
01:21.22 | DecopodianEmpire | no |
01:21.51 | Wormy_ | I've never encountered this error, sorry. |
01:22.16 | DecopodianEmpire | it is bigger then 250x500 |
01:22.40 | Wormy_ | I suggest cropping the image in Windows Paint a little |
01:23.02 | Wormy_ | That comes free with Windows |
01:23.14 | Wormy_ | But its awful for anything other than cropping |
01:24.13 | DecopodianEmpire | ok |
01:24.57 | Wormy_ | So get your image in Windows Paint, use the select tool (a rectangle is best in this case), then click crop |
01:28.10 | Wormy_ | I like WoW music and I don't even play it (I daren't lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n6WP9qHyRM |

11:36.16 | AdmiralPanda | he lived in like 40% of roles he's played, it's just he does death scenes really well so that's what he's known for |
11:36.43 | Hachiman | Yeah |
11:37.07 | Hachiman | I recall that following the execution scene of Ned Stark, Sean offered the cast to play football with a dummy head |
11:37.49 | AdmiralPanda | I told you about that :P |

12:55.22 | Monet | Just take the side panel off and see if the fan is moving |
12:55.48 | OluapPlayer | Yes, it's a matter of unscrewing |
12:56.17 | Monet | Be prepared for dust |

13:04.49 | Hachiman | If my GPU is integrated into the CPU, then I am in hot shit because I have a ton of Steam games I want to play that I cannot on my PC |
13:05.12 | OluapPlayer | I've never worked with GPUs, only with graphics cards |
13:05.17 | OluapPlayer | So I don't know how they work |
13:05.29 | Hachiman | Are they not the same thing? |
13:06.12 | OluapPlayer | Again, I don't know |
13:07.17 | AdmiralPanda | GPU is part of a graphics card |
13:07.27 | OluapPlayer | Right |
13:07.39 | OluapPlayer | In that case you're not going to replace your GPU. You're going to replace the whole card |
13:07.53 | AdmiralPanda | there are some GPUs that are part of the CPU though |
13:08.09 | OluapPlayer | I pity them |
13:08.24 | OluapPlayer | Generally, anything physically integrated into the motherboard = you're fucked |
13:09.39 | AdmiralPanda | you might actually still be able to connect a graphics card though |
13:09.51 | Monet | You can combine graphics cards I thing |
13:09.55 | OluapPlayer | Still you can't replace them without getting a new motherboard altogether |
13:10.12 | OluapPlayer | It's more noticeable when it's something other than a graphics card |
13:10.25 | AdmiralPanda | OluapPlayer: What I mean is, he can just put a graphics card in without having to remove the existing GPU |
13:10.34 | OluapPlayer | Like a microprocessor |
13:11.35 | OluapPlayer | I get that, I'm saying there are other cases where integrated into CPU = bad |
13:11.41 | AdmiralPanda | well yea |
13:11.59 | Hachiman | "If you are ever lonely, dim all the lights and put on a horror movie. After a while, it will not feel like you are alone anymore." |
13:12.08 | AdmiralPanda | creepy |
13:12.20 | OluapPlayer | It's funny because it's true |
13:13.00 | Monet | Integrated GPUs tend to lack the power of installable cards |
13:13.11 | OluapPlayer | By the way i should let you all know I got a new mic which, according to Hachi, has no buzzing |
13:13.23 | Monet | Yay |
13:13.24 | OluapPlayer | So you can all stop crying over it next time we call :v |
13:13.38 | Hachiman | There is some background noise but no ear-piercing buzzing |
13:14.03 | AdmiralPanda | gut |
13:14.08 | OluapPlayer | You have the most background noise out of everyone |
13:14.18 | Hachiman | fuk off i dunt |
13:14.35 | OluapPlayer | Yesterday it felt like you were rubbing two pieces of plastic against each other next to the mic when we were talking |
13:14.59 | Hachiman | I was moving on the bed |
13:15.02 | AdmiralPanda | you do have some yeah |
13:15.20 | OluapPlayer | Don't put your laptop on your bed u stupid |
13:15.28 | OluapPlayer | You don't want it overheating again |
13:15.43 | Hachiman | I put it on my lap |
13:21.22 | Wormy_ | I love teasing my parents that I'm a transhumanist. |
13:21.48 | Wormy_ | No, I will not have children, I will have identical copies of myself as your grandchildren |
13:22.39 | Wormy_ | I'm not as serious about TS in real life but its fun |
13:27.38 | Wormy_ | Serves my Dasd right for making me watch Animatrix at 7 years old |
13:37.00 | Hachiman | I wonder what a visit to the Aokigahara Forest would be like |
13:39.46 | Hachiman | The local authorities have discontinued publishing incidents pertaining to suicides in Aokigahara in an attempt to stop people from following the trend of committing suicide there, although I wonder if it has actually worked |
13:40.37 | AdmiralPanda | odd |
13:40.51 | AdmiralPanda | so people deliberately go there with the intent of committing suicide? |
13:40.57 | Hachiman | Yeah |
13:41.18 | AdmiralPanda | huh |
13:41.21 | AdmiralPanda | interesting |
13:41.28 | AdmiralPanda | like that wall that people throw themselves off |
13:41.29 | Hachiman | As many as 100 to 200 people attempt to commit suicide in the Aokigahara Forest every year |
13:41.50 | OluapPlayer | Never heard of |
13:42.28 | Hachiman | It is not a recent trend either, it has been going on since the late 90s if I recall |
13:42.41 | AdmiralPanda | speaking of people throwing themselves off walls, the retainers of the Daimyo of the Chosokabe clan didn't think he was brave enough to lead the clan, so he jumped off the highest wall in his castle to prove his bravery |
13:42.54 | Wormy_ | If you went there for a nice stroll, it is likely that is all it would be, and you wouldn't likely find any bodily remains. |
13:43.20 | Hachiman | AdmiralPanda: Dead on impact? |
13:43.30 | AdmiralPanda | nah, no permanent injuries |
13:43.39 | Hachiman | Huh |
13:43.51 | AdmiralPanda | he went on to lead the clan until the end of the Sengoku Jedai, at which point the Tokugawa kicked him out because he sided with the wrong guys |
13:45.13 | Wormy_ | Reminds me of a joke about an American and British commander. The American tells his soldier to leap off a building, he does so and the American says his soldiers are loyal and brave. The British commander says to his soldier to do the same, and his soldier says "No sir, fuck off". The British commanders turns around and says "Now that is real bravery" |
13:45.33 | Hachiman | olol |
13:45.42 | AdmiralPanda | sounds about right |
13:46.49 | Hachiman | I am rather surprised so few people had heard of the Suicide Forest |
13:46.53 | *** join/#sporewiki Monet_ (d438696b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.212.56.105.107) |
13:47.00 | Hachiman | Hai Mon |
13:47.24 | Wormy_ | Original https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/279y6m/ |
13:47.28 | OluapPlayer | You're yet to say what this place is |
13:47.36 | Wormy_ | I have heard of the forest |
13:47.58 | Wormy_ | It is a sad reflection on stress levels in Japanese society |
13:48.08 | Hachiman | I just said it's a forest in Japan where people across the country go to commit suicide |
13:48.22 | Wormy_ | Many of the dead leave notes saying society and work hours made them do it. |
13:52.39 | Hachiman | A majority of suicides committed in the Suicide Forest consist of either hangings or drug overdoses and the overall suicide rates increase during March, and it is rather easy to get lost in the forest due to its scale if you stray from the pathways |
13:53.04 | Hachiman | Many of the victims of suicide found in the Suicide Forest are either businessmen or students |
13:53.51 | Hachiman | March is also the end of the fiscal year in Japan which kind of explains something |
13:55.49 | Hachiman | There has never been a period in which bodies were not found on patrols by the local police authorities and volunteers and people who have been found and rescued from the Suicide Forest often comment that they feel strange, almost compulsive urges to travel deep into the woods where they cannot be found until late |
13:56.58 | Monet_ | Now that is spooky |
13:57.25 | Monet_ | Its like the place compels you to vanish. |
13:59.22 | Hachiman | I imagine it's an effect caused by a combination of the apparent reputation of the location and the personal feelings one could and would be experiencing at the time should they feel suicidal, and maybe also a side-effect of drugs |
13:59.29 | AdmiralPanda | to be fair, an experiment was once conducted where people inspecting a house for sale were told the family died in a murder-suicide, many of the people reported strange feelings throughout the house- thing is it was made up |
13:59.48 | AdmiralPanda | your perceptions can be affected by prejudices |
14:00.05 | Hachiman | Aye |
14:03.19 | Hachiman | I personally am not an entertainer of the para- or supernormal in regards to ghosts and such so I often put stuff down to products of reputation, misinformation, and delusion |
14:03.40 | OluapPlayer | get spooked |
14:03.54 | OluapPlayer | The forest is inhabited by skeletons and they turn people who go there into skeletons |
14:04.19 | OluapPlayer | It's even worse because it's in Japan so chances are there are gashadokuros there |
14:04.32 | Hachiman | Oh God I had not thought of that |
14:05.27 | Hachiman | The Suicide Forest is actually a major settlement for the Skeleton Legions of Ceres |
14:05.40 | OluapPlayer | You think these are trees |
14:05.45 | OluapPlayer | They're just gashadokuro legs |
14:05.57 | Hachiman | ech |
14:09.14 | Hachiman | I have now been given the inspiration to create a forest of undead for my Pathfinder group to wander through |
14:09.32 | AdmiralPanda | *ears perked and eyes bright* |
14:09.43 | AdmiralPanda | SQUIRE! BRING ME MY HAMMER! THE SHINY ONE! |
14:10.01 | AdmiralPanda | please do, would enjoy |
14:10.05 | OluapPlayer | Remember gashadokuros are CR 13 |
14:10.29 | AdmiralPanda | CR is a bunk system anyway, I'll make it die! |
14:10.29 | Hachiman | You do not need to add an 's' to the end of gashadokuro for a plural hur |
14:10.38 | OluapPlayer | I'm saying it to Hachi |
14:10.51 | AdmiralPanda | makes no difference |
14:10.56 | AdmiralPanda | action economy bitch, that thing's going down |
14:11.04 | OluapPlayer | Putting a bunch of level 3s against a CR 13 monster is a bit unfair |
14:11.20 | Hachiman | I am not gonna throw them at it at Level 3, that is just mean |
14:12.02 | AdmiralPanda | it only has 180 health, we got this no problem |
14:12.03 | OluapPlayer | What I like the most out of Pathfinder gashadokuro is that they have skeleton breaths |
14:12.12 | OluapPlayer | >A gashadokuro can breathe bone shards as a standard action. |
14:12.16 | OluapPlayer | Literally skeleton breath |
14:12.23 | Hachiman | What the fucl |
14:12.25 | Hachiman | fuck even |
14:12.36 | OluapPlayer | 12d6 bludgeoning damage |
14:13.47 | AdmiralPanda | yeah no big dela |
14:13.49 | AdmiralPanda | deal |
14:14.47 | OluapPlayer | skelly insta-kill u |
14:15.09 | AdmiralPanda | you underestimate my ability to go full paladin |
14:16.44 | OluapPlayer | dis is not dark souls where you can i-frame through everything |
14:16.57 | OluapPlayer | That'd probably be very broken in a tabletop game |
14:17.11 | Hachiman | You can do that |
14:17.16 | Hachiman | Dexterity Fighter |
14:17.32 | AdmiralPanda | mhm, you clearly haven't heard of the unkillable halfling |
14:17.40 | OluapPlayer | I haven't |
14:17.54 | AdmiralPanda | as the name implies, it's a halfling rogue built purely with the intent of never dying |
14:18.25 | Hachiman | It does not die by merit of not getting hit |
14:18.51 | OluapPlayer | Should've used save-based attacks |
14:19.05 | AdmiralPanda | AC too high, if it passes a reflex save to reduce damage it takes no damage, can re-roll fortitude and will saves |
14:19.18 | OluapPlayer | Oh |
14:19.21 | AdmiralPanda | there is no method of attack the unkillable halfling cannot counter |
14:19.48 | Hachiman | As a minus, the unkillable halfling is not very good at killing things if I recall hur |
14:19.54 | AdmiralPanda | well yeah |
14:20.11 | AdmiralPanda | but on the plus side you can i-frame your way through literally everything |
14:20.32 | AdmiralPanda | I mean you do have sneak attack damage, which is fairly significant, but that's all you have |
14:20.59 | AdmiralPanda | and since in order to attain maximum unkillableness you have to move every turn, you only get one attack |
14:21.32 | Hachiman | It is effectively the penultimate utility-based character |
14:21.46 | Wormy_ | What is a 'Gashadokuro'? |
14:21.51 | AdmiralPanda | oh it's not even a utility character, it's just an unkillable character |
14:22.08 | OluapPlayer | A japanese mythological creature |
14:22.09 | Hachiman | Wormy_: A giant skeleton which devours people |
14:22.20 | Wormy_ | Sounds pleasant |
14:22.20 | OluapPlayer | Basically a cannibal skeleton fifteen times the size of a normal man |
14:22.47 | OluapPlayer | He bites your head off then drinks the blood from your neck |
14:23.21 | Hachiman | TAye |
14:23.25 | Hachiman | Aye even |
14:23.38 | Wormy_ | Sounds like Titans may have been based on the same idea. |
14:23.55 | Hachiman | I was about to bring up Attack on Titan for comparison |
14:25.09 | Hachiman | According to Japanese mythology, the gashadokuro are effectively indestructible and can go invisible, and their presence is noted by loud ringing in the ears |
14:25.34 | OluapPlayer | Japanese knew of the dangers posed by skeletons |
14:26.00 | Hachiman | So giant, indestructible cannibalistic skeletons that can roam around unseen after midnight |
14:26.42 | Hachiman | This is why I prefer Mexican skeletons to Japanese ones |
14:27.11 | AdmiralPanda | mexican skeletons just want to drink |
14:28.21 | AdmiralPanda | but in all seriousness, creepy foggy forest where we can only see twenty feet in all directions, trees everywhere- and not the "this is a wall but it's trees" kind of trees, I mean us having to skirmish through light scrub kind of trees |
14:28.23 | AdmiralPanda | make this happen |
14:28.27 | AdmiralPanda | also undead |
14:28.30 | AdmiralPanda | must be undead involved |
14:28.42 | Hachiman | Well of course |
14:28.55 | Wormy_ | "*sniff* "yep, definitely smells open" http://i.imgur.com/zh9hgoh.gif |
14:28.55 | AdmiralPanda | think darkroot basin but with silent hill levels of fog |
14:29.08 | OluapPlayer | Mexican skeletons are the exiles who want to be friends with the fleshies |
14:29.14 | OluapPlayer | Either that or they're actually spies |
14:29.33 | AdmiralPanda | the mexican skeletons are the cool ones who just want to drink |
14:29.41 | AdmiralPanda | they come up every year, but only for the beer |
14:29.45 | OluapPlayer | You can never be sure around skeletons |
14:29.54 | AdmiralPanda | and yes, that second line is from a song |
14:30.06 | Hachiman | I knew I saw that lyric before hur |
14:31.15 | AdmiralPanda | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giUzNIliJSk |
14:31.23 | Wormy_ | My skeleton is telling me to walk into the woods, |
14:31.36 | Hachiman | Fucking knew it was Voltaire |
14:31.40 | Hachiman | It could not have been anyone else |
14:32.40 | AdmiralPanda | of course it was Voltaire, what other goth musicians are worth listening to? |
14:32.47 | AdmiralPanda | everyone else is an emo edgelord |
14:33.23 | Hachiman | Well, I would say Marilyn Manson but he has become rather mainstream I feel |
14:33.35 | Hachiman | Actually he has been mainstream for a long time |
14:33.53 | OluapPlayer | fukin hopster |
14:33.55 | OluapPlayer | hipster even |
14:34.32 | Hachiman | Manson is also rather edgy which is why I do not listen to him much anymore |
14:34.41 | Hachiman | Like, to the point it is almost silly |
14:36.48 | AdmiralPanda | exactly, everyone else is an emo edgelord |
14:37.27 | AdmiralPanda | which is why I love night core so much, because the original is edge lord punk/goth stuff, but it's to a catchy electro dance tune that makes it light and comical |
14:37.29 | AdmiralPanda | weird mix that works |
14:39.38 | Monet_ | bbl |
14:40.35 | Hachiman | https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11028023_1616331185282027_8827687493726335313_n.jpg?oh=fc3784136fecfe3b30fd6075cf46fc0d&oe=567B973E "Nothing says "Satanic Competition" like a hot pink shirt" |
14:41.41 | OluapPlayer | That makes no sense whatsoever hur |
14:42.49 | Hachiman | https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/l/t1.0-9/11863373_737191266427661_6621744022442334271_n.png?oh=933e79b2c1c213894ad4d0ed54ce3a71&oe=567A076B |
14:43.03 | OluapPlayer | olol |
14:43.21 | Hachiman | Hachi plays Club Penguin |
14:43.49 | AdmiralPanda | Hachi's a little too meek to say bitch though |
14:44.03 | AdmiralPanda | Hachi plays TERA > dies of nosebleed |
14:44.12 | Hachiman | hur |
14:44.27 | Hachiman | I have never played TERA actually |
14:44.38 | OluapPlayer | Never have I but I've seen pictures of it |
14:44.47 | AdmiralPanda | it's ok, nothing particularly special aside from the ridiculous female outfits |
14:44.51 | OluapPlayer | It'd drain Hachi of all of his blood |
14:45.34 | Hachiman | Best take a look, cannot be too sexy-- Oh |
14:45.46 | AdmiralPanda | yeah |
14:45.59 | AdmiralPanda | honestly i don't even call it sexy, exhibitionist definately |
14:46.39 | OluapPlayer | It has horned girls |
14:46.46 | OluapPlayer | It's just missing the bat wings and devil tail |
14:46.56 | AdmiralPanda | oh there's an armour that provides |
14:47.07 | OluapPlayer | dis kills the oluap |
14:47.17 | AdmiralPanda | gud |
14:47.42 | OluapPlayer | wow hur |
14:48.09 | AdmiralPanda | I only hate you to your face :) |
14:48.09 | Hachiman | There is a female gender-locked race called the Elin which are effectively a RACE OF FUCKING LOLITA FUCKING UGH |
14:48.29 | AdmiralPanda | the Elin are adorable what are you on about |
14:48.39 | Hachiman | Race of little girls |
14:48.44 | Hachiman | Makes my blood boil |
14:49.25 | AdmiralPanda | I had an elin mystic in the group I played with, she was hilarious because we all kept making loli jokes but she could put on a really manly voice so when people joined the call, they thought it was a black guy playing a little girl |
14:49.36 | Hachiman | olol |
14:49.43 | OluapPlayer | hoh |
14:49.52 | OluapPlayer | Castanic |
14:49.56 | OluapPlayer | These are the ones I was going about |
14:50.08 | AdmiralPanda | Castanics are cool |
14:52.31 | Hachiman | TERA and FFXIV is why we should let East Asian companies design MMORPGs rather than American ones hur |
14:52.39 | Hachiman | Or European ones for that matter |
14:52.54 | AdmiralPanda | you want every MMO ever to be run by gold spammers? |
14:52.55 | OluapPlayer | u jus want tits |
14:53.00 | AdmiralPanda | because that's how you get gold spammers |
14:53.31 | AdmiralPanda | let the asians do the artwork, sure, but don't let them make the actual game |
14:53.32 | Hachiman | Admittedly, "tits" is my primary reasoning |
14:53.53 | AdmiralPanda | tits is your reasoning for everything |
14:54.12 | Hachiman | Literally true |
14:54.24 | OluapPlayer | And that's why you're a failure of a human being |
14:54.56 | AdmiralPanda | a lot of great things in history have been done for the opportunity to cuddle tits, tbh |
14:56.20 | Hachiman | True, to both |
14:57.00 | AdmiralPanda | now that I think of it, tits was basically the secondary motivation for everything my favourite D&D character ever did |
14:57.08 | AdmiralPanda | the primary motivation being set things on fire |
14:57.55 | Hachiman | When you say it like that, I cannot help but feel "fire" and "tits" are a bad set of goals to have when put together |
14:58.11 | AdmiralPanda | well the two didn't mix, but things did get pretty hot |
14:58.25 | OluapPlayer | Explain |
14:58.39 | AdmiralPanda | and by that I mean that after the campaign, the two got married and lived a happy life as lord and lady of Raven's Landing |
14:58.51 | Hachiman | Bonerific |
14:59.01 | AdmiralPanda | and by the two I mean Aja (my character) and the cleric, his girlfriend |
14:59.01 | OluapPlayer | u must play da game b4 doin dat |
14:59.29 | AdmiralPanda | you really don't know just how much history is behind Raven's Landing :P |
14:59.54 | OluapPlayer | u tricked me into puttin ur city in my setting |
15:00.02 | AdmiralPanda | you asked for a name |
15:00.20 | Hachiman | To be fair, I suggested you call a city what amounts to "North North" |
15:00.28 | AdmiralPanda | this is true |
15:00.36 | AdmiralPanda | at least I added some depth and history to your world :P |
15:00.44 | OluapPlayer | ey my world is very deep |
15:00.46 | OluapPlayer | it has caves n shit |
15:01.04 | AdmiralPanda | a pan of water is deep enough to drown in :P |
15:01.12 | Hachiman | Is it? |
15:01.29 | AdmiralPanda | you can drown in an inch of water so yes |
15:01.38 | Hachiman | What the fuck |
15:01.46 | OluapPlayer | with crabs, wall oozes and Capra Demons |
15:02.07 | AdmiralPanda | yeh, too much dark souls really |
15:02.20 | OluapPlayer | You can never have too much Dark Souls |
15:02.22 | Hachiman | My world is not very deep, no caves have been explored yte |
15:02.23 | Hachiman | yet even |
15:02.27 | AdmiralPanda | well, yeah you can |
15:02.46 | AdmiralPanda | when it takes away from the experience it is a bit too much |
15:03.18 | Hachiman | Mentioning Dark Souls makes me want to run that Dark Souls / Bloodborne lite-inspired campaign I mentioned sometime back |
15:04.18 | Hachiman | See this is why I am including an undead forest in my current campaign hur |
15:04.55 | AdmiralPanda | best thing to do when you have a person who gets slightly irrational about murdering undead/mutants is to give them many undead/mutants to murder |
15:05.18 | Hachiman | ayy |
15:05.59 | Hachiman | Actually now that I think about it, combining Dark Souls and Bloodborne's aesthetics and thematics sorta gets you Diablo |
15:06.15 | AdmiralPanda | in a way yeah |
15:14.22 | OluapPlayer | Never played Diablo |
15:14.54 | AdmiralPanda | the best way to replicate the experience is: |
15:15.08 | AdmiralPanda | open an excel spreadsheet, and type the word "trousers" in the first box |
15:15.25 | AdmiralPanda | you then copy+paste that box into another box, and repeat until you get bored |
15:15.36 | AdmiralPanda | then, you type "the best trousers ever" in the last box |
15:15.40 | AdmiralPanda | and that is diablo |
15:15.42 | OluapPlayer | So it's repetitive |
15:15.45 | Monet | Great source of RSI |
15:15.57 | AdmiralPanda | it's a dungeon crawler in the worst sense really |
15:17.47 | Hachiman | I hear Diablo 3, while it looked really good, was a pile of shit hur |
15:18.00 | AdmiralPanda | yeah |
15:18.07 | Monet | It's okay if you want to feel like a one man army |
15:18.11 | AdmiralPanda | the loot system was horribly simplified and broken compared to previous editions |
15:21.12 | Monet | It's a game about killing shit in droves |
15:22.12 | AdmiralPanda | and getting incrementally better trousers |
15:26.52 | Hachiman | I shall not lie; I do, at some point, desire to stat up a T-800 Terminator for Pathfinder |
15:27.02 | OluapPlayer | https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/11259043_789174027900463_7352528106225678550_n.png?oh=5318902932c80ddcd204e5e352354d0f&oe=5676DBED |
15:27.12 | Hachiman | The only things I would know to stat up for it so far is Medium Construct and that is about it hur |
15:27.19 | Hachiman | hur |
15:27.23 | OluapPlayer | http://i.imgur.com/t47zwpj.png |
15:27.36 | Hachiman | olol |
15:28.23 | OluapPlayer | http://i.imgur.com/cQQ5XgG.jpg speed is my game |
15:28.47 | Hachiman | hur I remember that |
15:30.38 | Hachiman | I wonder if it would be fair for a Pathfinder-converted T-800 to deal 3d4 to 3d6 bludgeoning damage via punching hur |
15:31.42 | AdmiralPanda | not unless he's a monk |
15:32.07 | Hachiman | But Constructs cannot channel chi |
15:32.08 | AdmiralPanda | but I'd make him a fighter most likely |
15:32.12 | Hachiman | At least, as far as I know |

15:34.43 | AdmiralPanda | it dreams of revolution |
15:34.58 | Imperios | Bullshit |
15:35.00 | Imperios | It's not red |
15:36.10 | AdmiralPanda | yes, because communist russia invented revolution |
15:36.27 | OluapPlayer_ | But that's not russian |
15:36.38 | AdmiralPanda | I was being sarcastic |

18:07.28 | DecopodianEmpire | really? |
18:07.29 | Hachiman | EA has stated that the servers are down indefinitely, which is their way of saying that they are not going to maintain them anymore |
18:07.43 | DecopodianEmpire | oh damn |
18:08.00 | DecopodianEmpire | so its imposible to do any more missions in galactic adventures? |

18:11.41 | DecopodianEmpire | damn |

18:12.40 | DecopodianEmpire | what is png? |
18:12.50 | DrodoEmpire | File extension for photos. |
18:12.51 | DecopodianEmpire | iis it like url? |
18:13.08 | DrodoEmpire | No |
18:13.10 | The_Randomness | It's an image format, Spore slips a bunch of stuff into the image's metadata so then it can recognize them as creations iirc |
18:13.10 | DecopodianEmpire | oh |
18:13.11 | DrodoEmpire | Its a file extension |
18:13.41 | DecopodianEmpire | how about missions? can they be tranfered into png? |
18:14.05 | DrodoEmpire | Not sure how missions work |
18:14.09 | The_Randomness | same |
18:14.13 | DrodoEmpire | lemme poke around the game files |
18:14.17 | Zillafire101 | ^ Dis |
18:15.01 | DecopodianEmpire | of course i buy a game and a week later it dies XD |
18:15.58 | The_Randomness | Honestly, the game still has a lot of value despite it pretty much being dead thanks to the creation editors. |
18:16.09 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
18:16.19 | Zillafire101 | Yeah, why do you think we still write our nerdy fan fics? |
18:16.21 | DecopodianEmpire | i guess its still fun to make these fics and stuff |
18:16.37 | DecopodianEmpire | because we are nerds |
18:17.01 | DecopodianEmpire | people still write fanfics about star trek and that died 60 years ago |
18:17.21 | DrodoEmpire | ...Not quite |
18:17.40 | The_Randomness | u wot m8 |
18:17.52 | The_Randomness | "Star Trek died 60 years ago" |
18:17.54 | DrodoEmpire | The last episode of the last spinoff, Enterprise, aired in... I think 2005? |
18:18.00 | The_Randomness | Yeah |
18:18.05 | The_Randomness | And then there's the new movies |
18:18.08 | AdmiralPanda | star trek wasn't a thing 60 years ago |
18:18.15 | Hachiman | Star Trek is still getting movies and games |
18:18.36 | DecopodianEmpire | i mean 45 years ago |
18:18.47 | DrodoEmpire | Well still |
18:18.51 | The_Randomness | Your statement is still completely ridiculous |
18:18.53 | The_Randomness | Sorry |
18:18.56 | DecopodianEmpire | sorry doctor who is from 60-50 years ago |
18:19.11 | DrodoEmpire | TOS ended a while back and an argument can be made for it being the only *good* series... >.> |
18:19.20 | The_Randomness | heh |
18:19.25 | DrodoEmpire | But I mean the franchise is still alive and well |
18:19.50 | Hachiman | >TOS ended a while back and an argument can be made for it being the only *good* series... |
18:20.00 | Hachiman | Excuse me, TNG would like to say hello |
18:20.03 | DecopodianEmpire | i get the two confused because doctor who and star trek are 2 very old sci fi series from the 60s 70s 80s and 2005-2015 |
18:20.13 | DrodoEmpire | TNGs okay, I like it |
18:21.06 | The_Randomness | I tried watching TOS, didn't last more than a couple episodes. |
18:21.54 | DecopodianEmpire | the old doctor who was classic |
18:22.17 | Hachiman | Eh, arguab;e |
18:22.21 | Hachiman | arguable even |
18:23.16 | Hachiman | As much as I acknowledge old series, I often find modern incarnations more tolerable and easier to familiarize myself with |
18:23.49 | DecopodianEmpire | same i like the new one better but the old one is the reason the new one exists so i have to give it some props |

19:06.19 | Cyrannian | I haven't decided yet really |
19:07.04 | Xho | https://instagram.com/p/6VfxjlBvA4/ I know how this goes |
19:08.57 | Xho | I suppose my rig is around...hm |
19:09.22 | Xho | Disconcerning depreciation it would be around $6500 |
19:10.06 | Monet | You mean your PC? |
19:10.39 | Xho | No all of my musical instruments and gear |
19:10.47 | Xho | We call it a rig |
19:11.02 | Monet | Ah right |
19:11.06 | Xho | I dunno how much it would be now though |
19:11.10 | Xho | I could probably work it out |
19:11.57 | Xho | Probably closer to $1700 for the same three items |
19:12.32 | Xho | I got a $3100 amplifier for $570 |
19:12.38 | Xho | $470* |
19:13.51 | Xho | I still have about $2200 worth on top of that |
19:15.16 | Xho | My entire set of stuff if it did not reduce in value would be about $10,000 |
19:15.33 | Xho | But gear reduces in value quite sharply |
19:19.36 | Xho | I'll probably spend another $6000 or so before I get where I want to be |
19:20.04 | Xho | Shit's expensive |
19:23.38 | Monet | Wow |
19:24.34 | Monet | And yet it's the bankers and the tycoons that rake in the money |
19:24.55 | Xho | Yep |
19:25.08 | Xho | It's taken about four years to get to where I am now |
19:28.22 | Monet | Must be some good hardware |
19:29.39 | OluapPlayer_ | Xho: im back u cow |
19:29.43 | Xho | gud |
19:29.59 | Xho | Monet: The guitars are decent, |
19:30.13 | Xho | The amplifier is a discontinued model I got with incredible luck |
19:30.51 | Monet | Discontinued n but quality? |
19:31.09 | Xho | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu_8USz3IvY This is it |
19:31.22 | Xho | Yeah it's one of the first modelling amplifiers |
19:32.09 | Monet | Oh nice! |
19:32.26 | Xho | It was around £2000 when it was new, I got it for £300 |
19:33.18 | Monet | That's an amazingly fortuitous deal |
19:34.16 | Xho | Yeah |
19:34.24 | Xho | I need to get a better cabinet though |
19:34.36 | Xho | Though that's not on the cards at the moment |
19:34.51 | Xho | I need to set up a better rig for the bass, which will cost £800 - £1000 |
19:36.00 | Monet | If it's an old amplifier the price might go up in a few decades |
19:36.52 | Xho | Might do |
19:37.03 | Xho | Though in terms of modelling technology, it's obsolete |
19:37.22 | Xho | There's two amplifiers right now that are the most popular |
19:37.58 | Xho | One is a Fractal Audio Systems Axe-Fx 2 (which like every musician in the business uses nowadays), and a Kemper Profiling Amp |
19:38.10 | Xho | They function a little differently but they're definitely very high quality |
19:38.17 | Monet | Well that's the way of technology |
19:38.48 | Xho | Kempers are around £1000 - £1600 and the Axe-Fx is around £1600 - £2000 |
19:39.03 | Xho | The Kempers I don't know enough about |
19:41.32 | Xho | Kempers are clever in the sense that they profile (i.e. record) the tone coming from any other amplifier and is saved on the amp itself |
19:41.44 | Xho | Said sounds can be uploaded and shared |
19:44.23 | Monet | Cool |
19:44.47 | Xho | The Axe-Fx on the other is more of an actual modelling amplifier so it has a crapton of amplifiers and effects already stored to edit to your desire |
19:45.07 | Xho | I've seen bands like Muse use both of them live so I guess they can be used together |
19:45.15 | Xho | There's a lot of discussion as to which is better |
19:45.54 | Monet | Lots of dials? |
19:46.01 | Xho | Yes |
19:46.10 | Xho | Actually not that much |
19:46.40 | Xho | http://www.guitariste.com/share/users/forums/2011/08/138332-406485-94f3ade6f9-1793.jpg This is what it looks like |

21:13.46 | Imperios | Not your fault |
21:14.03 | Imperios | I know Central Asian geography because I have relatives there |
21:14.11 | Hachiman | I am interested in foreign cultures and histories and such yet I cannot contemplate where countries are in regards to specifics and such |
21:14.27 | Monet | I once knew a kid in year 5. |

21:15.03 | Imperios | Hachiman: Maybe you descended from Protestants who wanted to get to Mayflower but forgot their tickets or something |
21:15.19 | Hachiman | So to me, something like the Dynasties of China interacting with the Persian Empire, who simultaneously made an attempt at the invasion of Greece, is something of a mindblow |
21:15.30 | Monet | Who when asked to locate the UK on a map pointed to the US |
21:16.43 | Imperios | My little sister confuses Ukraine with the USA |
21:17.01 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: Pretty good chapter that, kinda weird the Indocs are acting so friendly with zealots |
21:17.18 | DrodoAway | Monet: ...Seriously? |
21:18.18 | Monet | Everyone who boarded the Mayflower were too insufferable to stay in England |
21:19.05 | Hachiman | I had once though Brazil was smaller than Portugal |
21:19.10 | Hachiman | That is how misinformed and dum I was |
21:19.57 | Monet | DromAway: well he was 10 |
21:21.18 | DrodoAway | Not *that* bad then |
21:21.21 | Xho | Hachiman: http://geology.com/world/world-map.gif Just stare at this for 2 hours |
21:21.55 | Xho | Kinda outdated since there's now a South Sudan |
21:22.39 | Hachiman | Where is Asia |
21:22.51 | OluapPlayer_ | The Collective doesn't hate zealots |
21:22.54 | OluapPlayer_ | The Spinkers do |
21:23.03 | Xho | Okay now that's intentional |

21:23.36 | Imperios | Hachiman Monet: http://eurasiancenter.ru/images/100377/59/1003775942.jpg That's how Tajiks look like |
21:23.57 | Imperios | Xho: South Sudan and ÍßØ ÌßØ ÊÐÛÌ ÍÀØ |
21:24.05 | Xho | RANDOM LETTERS |
21:24.10 | Monet | Spinkers - Racist and proud |
21:24.21 | Hachiman | Don't look too different from Europeans |
21:24.44 | Xho | Well Tajikistan is in that indeterminate area between Europe and Asia |
21:24.58 | Xho | More Asia than Europe I'd say |
21:25.06 | Imperios | http://f13.ifotki.info/org/c0e6a141f71d8534b642e2f82ad7076dd40d09144205734.jpg They can even be blonde sometimes |
21:25.13 | Imperios | Xho: They're our labour force |
21:25.16 | Imperios | Like Poles |
21:25.20 | Imperios | But in Russia |
21:25.48 | Xho | Our Polish workforce is actually better than our British workforce |
21:26.08 | Imperios | Their entire economy is based around moving to Russia, working for Russians, and then sending the money they've earned back to Tajikistan |
21:26.28 | Imperios | Seriously |
21:26.39 | Monet | Still takes half a year to build a single house |
21:26.47 | Imperios | Okay not sure about Tajiks |
21:27.01 | Imperios | Tajiks suck at work but then again so do Russians |
21:27.10 | Imperios | Russians do not want to work at all most of the time |
21:27.30 | Monet | Imperios: Poles do that too |
21:28.36 | Monet | Poles are hardworking but send a lot of their income to Poland |
21:28.58 | Imperios | Now Kazakhstan is where Tajiks and Uzbeks that did not get to Russia end up |
21:29.00 | Imperios | It's like Russia Lite |

21:46.48 | Hachiman | So apparently there is a guy who dresses up in a full-body bear costume and harasses actual bears in Alaska |
21:47.09 | Wormy_ | And he has not been killed or raped by a bear |
21:48.38 | Wormy_ | Happened to afarmer in Greece, he went for a pooh in his bull field and a bull mounted him. It was captured on tape |
21:48.43 | Wormy_ | *poo |

21:52.21 | Technobliterator | now |
21:52.33 | Monet | It's green, has six legs long antennae and really long tear legs |
21:53.23 | Hachiman | Then you probably do have a grasshopper on your ceiling |
21:53.38 | Wormy_ | So this is what Nat Geo has reduced to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWNmqYRl7MY |

22:20.08 | Wormy_SWTOR | Goes to show how uncreative I am for never thinking of that. |
22:46.09 | Hachiman | Well I am trying out Dead Space again |
22:46.15 | Hachiman | Immediately regretting my decision |

22:52.02 | Hachiman | One thing I am not fond of in regards to the original Dead Space is how over-the-shoulder the camera angles are |
22:52.13 | Hachiman | Like, the camera positioning can be kinda ech |
23:07.25 | OfficerJackal | Hachiman: Yeah, sometimes it would get weird, but everything else about the game I thought was pretty good, generally scarier then the other two the came after it, although DS2 had a interesting environment. |
23:07.49 | MonetAway | Bad camera angles, a storyteller's nightmare |
23:08.23 | Hachiman | Well Dead Space gradually became more action-focused as the games went on |
23:08.38 | Hachiman | I feel DS2 is superior due to having a good blend of both |
23:08.59 | MonetAway | Resident Evil syndrome |
23:09.17 | Hachiman | But yeah, DS1 is by far the scariest of the games |
23:09.30 | OfficerJackal | Hmm, that is true yeah, it sort of had a mixture of both 3's action and 1's spoopyness. I also loved the setting for it, was interesting to just see how society on the station broke down until it got destroyed. |
23:09.43 | Hachiman | Aye |
23:11.18 | MonetAway | Good horror is more than jump scares and bleach-worthy monsters. It's one of the most demanding genres for tension. |
23:13.17 | MonetAway | Sorry it's late |
23:15.15 | Hachiman | While Dead Space is jumpscare-heavy and has a fuckton of gore porn, it is also environmentally tense and encompasses a lot of good elements for horror |
23:15.58 | Monet | Yeah. |
23:21.24 | Monet | Actually I was considering today: I wonder if Ridley Scott is cut out to make a 3-part epic. |
23:22.32 | Hachiman | I would not trust Ridley Scott with film today |
23:22.59 | Hachiman | I would say he *was* cut out at some point but he has lost that spark he used to have |
23:25.34 | Monet | Alien was good but it was James Cameron who gave us the Xeno Queen and the pulse rifle. |
23:27.42 | Hachiman | I would argue that Aliens was not a horror film though hur |
23:28.00 | Monet | Good point |
23:28.12 | Hachiman | There is much debate as to whether Alien or Aliens was a superior film, like Terminator or Terminator 2: Judgement Day |
23:29.59 | Monet | The plots are quite different |
23:32.35 | Hachiman | If you have ever seen Prometheus, I believe it shows perfectly what has become of Ridley Scott's technique |
23:33.21 | Monet | I tried reviewing it |
23:34.06 | Hachiman | I am quite confident for Neill Blomkamp's addition to the Alien franchise however considering it supposedly ignores Alien3 - a development disaster - and Alien: Resurrection - which is practically a joke |
23:36.16 | Monet | I can't see Prometheus working as a trilogy with Scott at the helm |
23:38.07 | Hachiman | Prometheus had an okay concept, Ridley executed it badly |
23:38.19 | Monet | We're it James Cameron or Peter Jackson leading the I might have more enthusiasm |
23:38.55 | Monet | Leading the project* |
23:39.17 | Hachiman | Yeah, I feel Prometheus could never evoke the same amount of reputation garnered from the enigmatic mystery and suspense of Alien |
23:40.05 | Hachiman | It would be fine to make it an action flick or whatever if it did not try to be the next Alien |
23:43.07 | Monet | I've seen complaints that Prometheus tried too hard to be the child of Alien and 2001 |
23:43.34 | Hachiman | Yes and too little of its own thing |
23:46.54 | Monet | Kubrick was distinct though, he formed his own directive style |
23:49.23 | Monet | Though in a recent viewing I think Scott slipped in some Giger Easter eggs |
23:50.07 | Monet | Not just stuff we saw in Alien |
23:56.02 | Hachiman | Yeah, Giger came up with so much obscure and bizarre stuff beyond Alien |
23:56.32 | Hachiman | Considering much of his art was inspired by night terrors he suffered |
