00:44.21 | Roboticking45 | Good Evening Abyss |
00:49.06 | DrodoEmpire | Hello |
00:49.22 | DrodoEmpire | Haven't seen you on before... New to the wiki? |
00:49.50 | DrodoEmpire | (If so, welcome! You've come on at a sorta-late time, usually, there's more people on. >.<) |
00:50.38 | Abysswalker25 | We have spoken before. I left for a long time. |
00:51.05 | Abysswalker25 | I made a page, but never got around to actually setting something up with someone. ._. |
00:51.11 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, I see. |
00:52.48 | Abysswalker25 | Though hm.. last time I was here I believe a war between Xonexi (i think that is their name) and the DCP broke out? |
00:53.00 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
00:53.02 | Abysswalker25 | I don't know what has happened since that time. |
00:53.08 | DrodoEmpire | We're well into the Xonexi Schism now |
00:53.19 | DrodoEmpire | Speak to Charles_Murray, Monet or Wormy if you want to know more |
00:56.21 | Abysswalker25 | Oh I see. Can you give me the basic gist of what that is? Or a link to a page? |
00:57.12 | DrodoEmpire | Lemme see. |
00:57.33 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3AGreat_Xonexian_Schism |
00:57.35 | DrodoEmpire | There we go |
00:57.47 | DrodoEmpire | Again, I recommend asking those three people to know more |
00:57.56 | DrodoEmpire | They know stuff that may not be mentioned on the pages and subpages |

13:23.12 | Ghelae | All dwarf planets are giant space dragons curled up into balls, Wormy. |
13:23.26 | Wormy_ | It has scales and a tail that wraps around it |
13:26.39 | Ghelae | That doesn't make it a giant space dragon. |
13:26.50 | Ghelae | It could be a giant space lizard, or a giant space crocodile, for example. |
13:30.17 | Ghelae | Of course, if it is a giant space dragon, then it follows that it has wings, and can thus fly through the aether to Earth when it awakens from its million-year slumber. |
13:30.40 | Ghelae | New Horizons may even have awakened the dragon as it flew by. |
13:31.24 | Ghelae | In which case, it will have now unfurled and be on its way to unleash chaos upon our world. |

19:06.10 | Ghel | Are you asking whether you think we should do this? I don't think it would harm the wiki; it's only for one week and we don't have anything else important on the skin. |
19:07.39 | Technobliterator | More letting people know, but I agree |
19:07.45 | drom | I don't care much about it though |
19:08.21 | Technobliterator | I think 15 years is very unrealistic |
19:08.27 | Technobliterator | like, absurdly unrealistic |
19:09.08 | drom | brb decomissioning this computer |
19:10.14 | Ghel | The real problem with goals like this is whether the actual processes to make progress in achieving them will be applied consistently. 15 years may be too optimistic to fully reach the goals but we could still get a lot more done than we have done so far. |
19:13.12 | Charles_Murray | It's actually not that hard; we have the resources to do all of those things, but the political will and ability doesn't exist in the right places. |

20:03.37 | Roboticking45 | I dont know if anyone answered this previously, but can tier 3 to tier 2 civilizations turn a small dwarf planet to a battle station? |
20:03.44 | Roboticking45 | or a small moon? |
20:05.34 | Ghel | It wouldn't be out of the question. |
20:06.10 | Ghel | Although I expect it would take them decades at least. |
20:06.55 | TekDroid | It wouldn't be the most efficent method |
20:07.52 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
20:08.01 | DrodoEmpire | It'd be extremely expensive and yeah take a long long time |
20:08.17 | TekDroid | It would be extremely slow both in realspace and probably FTL |
20:08.25 | DrodoEmpire | It'd be great for propaganda but it'd be more practical to build several armadas with the same amount of supplies |
20:08.33 | DrodoEmpire | Or develop infrastructure |
20:10.42 | Ghel | And if it's deployed against an enemy with planet-cracking weapons, all you've done is provided them with a bigger, harder-to-miss target. |
20:12.01 | Ghel | Against enemies without such weapons it's practically invincible, but also a huge amount of mass to accelerate. As Tek said, expect it to be extremely slow to move. |
20:13.00 | Roboticking45 | alright |
20:13.13 | Technobliterator | Well, that's interesting |
20:13.24 | Technobliterator | If the average page views per session is 3... |
20:14.24 | Roboticking45 | what would server as a more efficent battle station> |
20:14.52 | TekDroid | While destroying the ship itself would be difficult, a sufficient bombardment could damage surface equipment easily: weapons, engine... Don't forget it's a lot to shield too. |
20:15.48 | Ghel | Just something smaller would be more efficients. Even dwarf planets are huge. Or in other words, even a Death Star would be dwarfed by Pluto. |
20:15.51 | Ghel | efficient* |
20:16.11 | Ghel | Something like a large hollowed-out and armoured asteroid would be better. |
20:16.15 | Roboticking45 | ah |
20:16.18 | Roboticking45 | Alright |
20:16.21 | TekDroid | Sometimes the a flagship doesn't need to dwarf everything, sometimes flagships can just be a copy of whatever your largest production ship |
20:16.36 | Roboticking45 | ok |
20:17.09 | Roboticking45 | As i was thinking of using a celestial body (small of course) to use as a battle station in one of my fictions fleets |
20:17.30 | Roboticking45 | And i understand tek, such as the emperors palace is a dreadnaught? |
20:17.42 | Roboticking45 | garagutan* |
20:18.07 | TekDroid | Keep in mind also that of your command ship is big and obvious, the enemy also knows exactly what to kill to cripple your command |
20:18.23 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/Important_Topics/Warfare - This has some good guidelines. |
20:18.30 | Ghel | If you mean in the DCP, the Emperor's Palace is definitely not a Gargantuan. The DCP is an empire that can easily afford to turn entire planets into warships. |
20:19.15 | TekDroid | The Emperor's palace also falls into more of an outlier and exceptio |
20:19.23 | Roboticking45 | Ah |
20:19.26 | TekDroid | Given the nature of it. |
20:19.33 | Ghel | For less advanced civilisations, asteroids can easily get to ~100km in size. It's been seriously considered that hollowed-out asteroids could be used as space habitats in a few centuries' time. |
20:20.54 | TekDroid | The larger something gets the less mobile it is, regardless of technology. Always remember that bigger isn't always better. |
20:21.35 | Roboticking45 | I know |
20:24.39 | Roboticking45 | I was thinking of using this idea for a more so a support destroyer to wreck fleets |
20:24.55 | Roboticking45 | and or enemy stations and outposts |
20:26.52 | Roboticking45 | but i understand the physics behind the larger asteroids and stations built out of celestial bodies |
20:29.12 | Ghel | A few medium-sized asteroid-based battlestations arranged in a Klemperer rosette around a planet, with automated gravity tugs to move them around counteracting instabilities, might be good for planetary defence. |
20:29.22 | Ghel | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klemperer_rosette |
20:29.31 | Ghel | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_tractor |
20:29.55 | Roboticking45 | good idea, thanks Ghel |
20:30.59 | Ghel | Also, Orion's Arm is a good site for fairly realistic sci-fi ideas (it's mostly set in a Tier 1-equivalent future with wormholes as the only FTL). The equivalents of those pages there are |

20:48.45 | Xho | Technobliterator: https://soundcloud.com/turkeychickensandwich/angry-djent-sng/s-bnyFT get angry |
20:49.34 | Technobliterator | wooooah |
20:50.28 | Technobliterator | This is good :o |
20:52.23 | Xho | Technobliterator: https://soundcloud.com/turkeychickensandwich/hyperion-working-test/s-FvF2G This was another one |
20:53.32 | Xho | That one's a bit dodgy on the rendering though |
20:53.48 | Xho | I need to bring down the level a bit to stop it from fffing clipping |
20:54.07 | Xho | I need to redo the solo part as well but the general gist is there |
20:54.28 | Technobliterator | I like that one a bit better though |
20:55.12 | Xho | https://soundcloud.com/turkeychickensandwich/tantalus-working/s-oFlyb And there's a more complete one which is similar |
20:56.15 | Technobliterator | I think I'd equalize it a little differently if I were mastering it |
20:56.23 | Xho | In what way? |
20:56.40 | Xho | You have more skills on the tech side than I do |
20:57.27 | Technobliterator | Mostly, as you've already said, bring the levels on the whole thing down across the board, but I'd just slightly decrease the lead guitar levels |
20:57.38 | Xho | rite |
20:57.51 | Technobliterator | It's meant to be central to the thing, but only so much that it shouldn't drown out the other instruments |
20:58.05 | Technobliterator | which is an annoying thing to balance unless you have massive room speakers |
20:58.11 | Xho | Yeah |
20:58.15 | Xho | I need to buy some studio monitors |
20:59.28 | Technobliterator | I have two studio quality speakers which I use for normal listening because I'm an audiophile like that |
20:59.34 | Xho | hur |
21:01.35 | Xho | Tantalus and Hyperion are typically more atmospheric than the other one |
21:01.42 | Xho | I kinda went all out metal on the last one |
21:04.27 | roboticking45 | what sound files did you create? |
21:04.55 | Xho | Those were mp3s |
21:05.01 | Xho | Low quality and quick |

21:44.15 | Wormy_ | hi |
21:44.59 | Wormy_ | Xho, Hachiman: I just went to this weird festival. There were dozens of giant stilt creatures (dino shaped) walking through the streets, and you could walk with them |
21:45.12 | Wormy_ | And people lighting flares |
21:45.32 | Wormy_ | And they kept turning in circles and chasing people despitew bering over 1o foot tall |
21:45.37 | Wormy_ | 10 |
21:46.02 | Wormy_ | I got pecked on the head |

21:49.50 | Wormy_ | I find it great you could interact with them and not get fenced off like the nanny state might want us to |

21:52.18 | Wormy_ | Video |
21:52.25 | Wormy_ | It was the trippiest thing |
21:52.44 | Wormy_ | I saw a similar act a few years ago, but with biomechanical-like suits |
21:55.28 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: I swear I saw Michael Stevens as a journalist/Press in The Martian. Look out for him if you see him. |
21:55.37 | Wormy_ | *if you see the film |

22:08.09 | Roboticking | sorry that i had not specified |
22:08.12 | Wormy_ | I set the mutation rate to over 9000 and got lots of non-euclidean abominations. |
22:08.28 | Roboticking | ...lovely |
22:08.57 | Roboticking | were they an improvemet over the big footed creatures? |
22:09.11 | Roboticking | improvement* |

22:13.45 | Tek0516 | Wormy_: I withdrew from that piece of **** course |
22:14.10 | Wormy_ | Tek: Good idea |
22:14.22 | Tek0516 | Goodbye to that postmodernist anti-technological **** |
22:14.55 | Wormy_ | Tek0516: I can recommend some good philosophy if you like - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beginning_of_Infinity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabric_of_Reality |
22:15.42 | Wormy_ | http://www.scaruffi.com/mind/deutsch2.html http://www.scaruffi.com/mind/deutsch.html |
22:15.49 | Wormy_ | Someone made overviews of the books |
22:17.03 | Wormy_ | and if you like AI, I enjoyed this book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach |
22:17.06 | Tek0516 | It's too late for me to take another course this semester so I'll have to take a new one next term. |
22:17.50 | Tek0516 | I was taking 6 this term and 5 next term so it's not an issue |
22:19.37 | Wormy_ | Aye, it;s interesting how can choose courses like that. Here, I have to apply for one months in advance, though degrees offer optional modules |
22:20.00 | Wormy_ | *though some |
22:20.25 | Tek0516 | Fall late registration (for people who do want to switch) closed last Friday apparently |
22:20.34 | Roboticking | tek, if you dont mind me inquiring, what inspired you to take the course? |
22:21.03 | Tek0516 | <PROTECTED> |
22:21.48 | Tek0516 | Mostly because it had no course outline, just a vague description about looking at the impact of technologies. |
22:22.46 | Roboticking | ah, and then the professor instead ranted about giving up technology, ot looking at its effects more so? |
22:22.56 | Roboticking | then* |
22:22.56 | Tek0516 | I knew from the course description exactly what this would be, but I ignored it |
22:23.24 | Tek0516 | Well, I hoped it wouldn't |
22:24.33 | Roboticking | ah, i see' |
22:24.47 | Roboticking | what class do you hope to tae next term |
22:24.53 | Roboticking | taake* |
22:24.58 | Roboticking | take* |
22:25.07 | Roboticking | im typing with one hand right now |
22:27.22 | Tek0516 | No idea |
22:27.36 | Tek0516 | I only took that class because I had no other ideas |
22:28.25 | Tek0516 | Almost the entire list of acceptable electives are philosophy or the arts. Maybe I'll do history. |
22:29.24 | Roboticking | any ideas o what kind? ancient? medieval? |
22:29.52 | Tek0516 | Theoretically any. |
22:30.51 | Hachiman | Xho: So apparently, through his paternal side, Kit Harington is a descendant of Charles II of England, Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, William Legge, 4th Earl of Dartmouth, and various other noblemen |
22:31.14 | Xho | Jon Snow might know something then |
22:31.15 | Hachiman | And also John Harington, a writer and the inventor of the flushing toilet |
22:33.44 | Hachiman | "Watch your language." "Oh, fuck, sorry." |

23:17.59 | Roboticking | nice setup |
23:18.21 | Roboticking | how many gbs in total? 250-300? |
23:18.34 | drom | 32GB RAM |
23:18.38 | drom | 8GB VRAM |
23:22.42 | Roboticking | thats not too shabby |
23:22.54 | Roboticking | how long did it take you to build? |
23:23.03 | Roboticking | also, is it watercooled by any chance? |
23:29.18 | drom | It is |
23:32.16 | Roboticking | Good |
23:32.29 | drom | It is very quiet as well |
23:32.45 | Roboticking | thus one of the benefits of water cooling your computer |
23:32.59 | drom | I ran GTAV with graphics on max for one hour, no whining or loud fan wirring. |
23:34.07 | drom | Mind you, it requires 7-8 GB VRAM to run GTAV with max graphics on one single 1080p screen. |
23:34.29 | Roboticking | I see, I'd say your computer is working quite well |
23:34.40 | Roboticking | but why windows 7 ultimate? |
23:34.51 | drom | Just Cause 2 |
23:35.20 | Roboticking | Ah |
23:35.42 | Roboticking | you want to have it compatible for most any game, otherwise i would have suggested linux or a higher form of windows |
23:35.56 | drom | No I didn't |
23:36.09 | drom | Win 7 > Win 8/8.1 > Win 10 |
23:36.24 | drom | And most of the games I own do only run on Linux |
23:36.26 | drom | So no |
23:36.36 | drom | do only run on Windows* |
23:36.43 | Roboticking | ok |
23:37.07 | Roboticking | I will have to agree, i do like windows 7 a little bit more than 10 |
23:37.23 | Roboticking | (little bit is under exaggerated) |
23:37.38 | drom | It also takes 5 seconds to fully boot Windows 7 starting from the BIOS bootup |
23:37.51 | Technobliterator | I dislike all versions of Windows |
23:37.53 | Technobliterator | 8D |
23:38.15 | drom | I do like Arch Linux more Windows 7 |

23:38.31 | DrodoEmpire | Back! :3 |
23:39.25 | drom | But I figured out that I needed 3 graphic cards to employ a pseudo-SLI VGA-passthrough |
23:40.21 | Roboticking | ah |
23:41.05 | Roboticking | Well, I assume your graphics run always at 1080p? :P |
23:41.29 | drom | But my MB does only offer 2 spaces for two Nvidia cards |
23:41.39 | drom | 3 for AMD cards |
23:42.54 | drom | I know that AMD is better on Linux stuff than Nvidia, but it isn't 100% reliable. |
23:44.06 | drom | My motherboard has an IGD, yet I have to figure out if it supports VT-d |
23:45.34 | Roboticking | well i understand your concern with the Linux reliability, as you want to ensure your computer is at 100% |
23:45.55 | Roboticking | have you considered getting more monitors? |
23:46.00 | drom | Yes |
23:48.52 | Roboticking | alright, I must be going for now, but ill be back soon |
