| 00:00.01 | Hachiman | So |
| 00:00.09 | Hachiman | Baxter is combining Xeelee Sequence with Proxima |
| 00:00.23 | Hachiman | Shit is going to get intense |
| 00:00.28 | Wormy_ | Possibly, even though they seem like utterly different universes |
| 00:01.32 | Wormy_ | Maybe the Xeelee and the Dreamers were in contact, maybe they are distant portions of the same multiverse |
| 00:01.49 | *** join/#sporewiki Monet (~Monet47@cpc90522-gill20-2-0-cust960.20-1.cable.virginm.net) |
| 00:02.09 | Wormy_ | Or maybe they both found a convergent potential |
| 00:03.46 | Wormy_ | I don't know how much I should reveal about the Proxima setting, but it seems there would be things that make such connections very hard to conceive of given it has different physics |
| 00:03.58 | Wormy_ | and fate |
| 00:04.27 | Wormy_ | Ah but the thing is, damn Poole destroyed the connection |
| 00:04.37 | Wormy_ | So it may not be revisited |
| 00:04.51 | Wormy_ | I don't like him anymore |
| 00:05.09 | Wormy_ | And nor do the Xeelee |
| 00:07.15 | Hachiman | Really puts his activities in other stories in another light |
| 00:13.52 | Wormy_ | Baxter seems to have a love for endosymbiosis (it is a magnificent thing, I guess), but between very disparate domains of life. Titan had CHON life (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen) wafted in from the inner solar system, silane/silicon based life from the outer solar system, and lifeforms based on ammonia. They all migrated across Titan as its seasons changed |
| 00:13.57 | Wormy_ | But in different directions |
| 00:14.22 | Wormy_ | One form was the CHON life and silane base life coming together as a bird like form |
| 00:15.01 | Wormy_ | and basically dumping the CHON life as they moved along |
| 00:15.50 | Hachiman | Jesus |
| 00:16.07 | Hachiman | This all sounds so complex and a little difficult to understand all that well |
| 00:17.21 | Wormy_ | Yeah, that bit of Baxter's stories haven't changed |
| 00:19.23 | Wormy_ | But those are my favourite parts, since they force to mind into non-anthropocentric perspectives |
| 00:19.59 | Wormy_ | Anyway, I'm going now, goodnight |

| 12:24.59 | Monet | Watching Zero Punctuation last night made me realise (probably late to this) that the Sims, as a franchise thanks to EA, is quite meta. |
| 12:26.01 | Hachiman | Indeed it is |
| 12:28.09 | Wormy_ | Cyrannian: Raptor Archangels more like |
| 12:28.19 | Monet | "your sims aren't happy. Make them happier by buying them a new thing they never realised they wanted. Just like how you are itchign to buy this expansion pack you didn't think you needed" |
| 12:40.52 | Ghel | Cyrannian: How could that have created Heaven and Earth with those tiny arms? |
| 12:41.16 | Cyrannian | How rude |
| 12:41.28 | Ghel | I apologise for my blasphemy. |
| 12:41.38 | Cyrannian | As well you should |
| 12:41.57 | Cyrannian | After all, the velocirapture is nigh |
| 12:52.38 | Hachiman | Imperios: So H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard - the author behind Conan the Barbarian - wrote a story together for a sci-fi magazine called The Challenge from Beyond; Lovecraft wrote the first three chapters about a normal human guy who gets abducted by aliens, driven mad by the grand scope of the universe and the normal Lovecraft stuff, and has his physiology forcibly changed into that of a primordial ooze monster |
| 12:52.48 | Hachiman | *and has his physiology forcibly changed into that of a primordial ooze monster |
| 12:53.51 | Imperios | And Howard wrote about how that ooze monster punches everyone |
| 12:54.08 | Hachiman | Howard then wrote that the guy actually thought his new form was not so bad and eventually grew to think it was fucking awesome, then was informed by his alien masters that they needed a warrior in order to fight a rival alien warlord and changed his form to be the best goddamned biological warmachine possible |
| 12:54.14 | AdmiralPanda | I know Imperios is probably joking, but I would read that book |
| 12:54.27 | Imperios | ...So I wasn't joking |
| 12:54.34 | Hachiman | You're pretty spot on |
| 12:54.53 | AdmiralPanda | I need the title of this book immediately |
| 12:54.59 | Hachiman | The Challenge from Beyond |
| 12:55.07 | AdmiralPanda | must read |
| 12:55.31 | Hachiman | Lovecraft saw the finished story and thought it was goddamned hilarious |
| 12:55.33 | Hachiman | And actually loved it |
| 12:57.54 | Monet | "It was the first time in many a year that I cracked a mirthful smile. It felt strange, alien, I was not sure what to think. So I immersed myself in the euphoric moment, satisfied that for one brief moment I was embracing the sensation of joy that so many others take for granted" |
| 12:59.51 | Hachiman | Also, curiously, many of the occultists and sorcerer-kings that Conan fights in Howard's books are actually praising and worshipping deities and entities from Lovecraft's works |
| 13:00.05 | Hachiman | They were quite good friends even if they are like polar opposites |
| 13:01.47 | Imperios | Strangely enough though it was Howard that killed himself |
| 13:07.33 | Hachiman | Also, it seems that some of Lovecraft's monsters are not quite so bad when you turn them on their heads; the Deep Ones, barring the occasional sacrifice to Dagon, are quite sophisticated and perform favours and trades with humans in order to gain sacrifices and the right to mate within the populace |
| 13:08.11 | Hachiman | Rather than acting like rape-y barbarians |
| 13:09.23 | AdmiralPanda | hey it's easier to score if the lady likes you |
| 13:09.37 | Hachiman | Aye hur |
| 13:10.55 | Hachiman | Also, there are apparently Deep One hybrids who do not mature properly and cannot live underwater with the rest of their kin but are not treated as outcasts by the rest of their race - instead, the pureblood Deep Ones make sure that they have company and care on the surface |
| 13:11.51 | Hachiman | They're tolerant of outcasts and invalids, which opposes Lovecraft's own ideals |
| 13:13.00 | Wormy_ | Hachi: Oh my look at this collection https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vbdkv |
| 13:14.25 | Wormy_ | "The starship Internet Explorer IV" |
| 13:14.30 | Imperios | I still find it hilarious that, considering what caused Lovecraft to write about the Deep Ones, they are basically based on Welsh people |
| 13:14.33 | Wormy_ | A beautiful concept tainted |
| 13:17.19 | Hachiman | Wormy_: Looks pretty good |
| 13:18.14 | AdmiralPanda | Imperios: Not really surprising given some traditional aboriginal and islander stories |
| 13:18.20 | Hachiman | Imperios: Lovecraft seemed to mellow out after he moved to New York and his horror focused less on his own racial and social biases and more on actual incomprehensible cosmic horror |
| 13:18.29 | Imperios | Still |
| 13:18.30 | Wormy_ | Hm, this artist is very suitable for speculative SF |
| 13:19.08 | AdmiralPanda | I recall one traditional Maori story featured an "island notable for its men laying with their sisters" |
| 13:19.32 | AdmiralPanda | which was basically the south part of NZ calling the north part inbred |
| 13:19.40 | Hachiman | olol |
| 13:20.04 | Imperios | Aren't they actually quite inbred though |
| 13:20.06 | Imperios | I mean all Kiwis |
| 13:20.08 | AdmiralPanda | which thankfully they no longer are; you see it's rather hard to get a sheep pregnant |
| 13:20.17 | Wormy_ | I wonder how people living on the Sugar Lump know if the Xeelee sleep inside. |
| 13:20.21 | Hachiman | brb |
| 13:22.53 | Wormy_ | Not Xeelee related but thats the kind of architecture I like https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Vdn4P |
| 13:25.41 | Wormy_ | Ghel: Monopolium cutting through a bioshuttle perhaps? https://www.artstation.com/artwork/gRk0G |
| 13:25.54 | Ghel | Looks like it. |
| 13:37.35 | Ghel | Although at high impact speeds, you shouldn't need monopolium to slice through a shuttle. |
| 13:39.09 | Wormy_ | That's true |
| 13:40.07 | Ghel | I guess the difference is that non-monopolium wouldn't come out of the encounter intact either. |
| 13:41.49 | Wormy_ | Even then, I imagine monopolium would be damaged if it got impacted beyond even its tolerance? |
| 13:44.30 | Ghel | Yes. |
| 13:44.35 | Hachiman | Imperios: Apparently Lovecraft was mocked somewhat for his xenophobic views by his peers |
| 13:44.49 | Imperios | WEll he was a neckbeard |
| 13:45.50 | Hachiman | And his friends; one letter to him essentially said that Lovecraft will sit down with a Jew at one point and learn that they're not as bad as he thinks them to be |
| 13:46.16 | Hachiman | Funny that he later marries a Jewish woman hur |
| 13:46.24 | Monet | And didn't really change. |
| 13:48.14 | Hachiman | Yeah, although he was far more complex and complicated as a person rather than the ranting and raving racist asshole people nowadays paint him as |

| 18:15.23 | Ghel | You walked in on a conversation about whether human nipples are capable of tasting bitterness. |

| 18:16.51 | Ghel | If this is enough to make you flee, you don't have much hope here. :P |
| 18:18.06 | Wormy_ | Maybe its because alcohol can go straight through the mammary glands, however that's not a thing beer cimpanies are likely to want to market themselves with. |

| 18:31.08 | Wormy_ | I'm doing a final show next week for my degree and I will be drawing people in with beer, and I will have infographics that explain how groundwater minerals effect the beer brewing process, and I am going to be handing out samples and free beermats |
| 18:31.30 | Wormy_ | But I will be doing soft drinks as well, for the non-drinkers |
| 18:34.05 | Wormy_ | Since I'll be handing it out, I will probably get little of it :( |
| 18:34.42 | Ghel | Maybe you should pre-drink for it. |
| 18:35.03 | Ghel | Because you wouldn't want to do a show sober, would you? |

| 18:38.01 | Wormy_ | One could compare beers brewed in sandstone areas to beers brewed in limestone areas |
| 18:38.21 | Wormy_ | Thewn again, most modern breweries put their own mix of minerals in and are not limited by the local geology. |
| 18:42.39 | Wormy_ | Bah, looking on a geology map there's no limestone for many km of Stone, Staffordshire |
| 18:43.48 | Ghel | Maybe you should pursue a career in geobrewery research. At least I assume that's what you'd call it. |
| 18:44.40 | Wormy_ | Hm, what an excellent idea |

| 19:10.54 | Wormy_ | Impy I suggest you "mouthwash" the bad taste with better films. |
| 19:11.58 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: The goddess of love is a 4m tall woman in this movie |
| 19:12.22 | ImpyDroid | WHY DO THEY FIGHT WITH GREEK WEAPONS AND SHIELDS |
| 19:12.25 | Ghel | From what you're saying, I get the impression it's deliberately inaccurate. |
| 19:12.28 | ImpyDroid | WHERE ARE FUCKING KHOPESHES |
| 19:12.38 | ImpyDroid | Well it is fantasy |
| 19:12.42 | Wormy_ | Its a fantasy film, right? |
| 19:12.49 | Cyrannian | Wait till you get to the part with Ancient Egyptian starships |
| 19:12.54 | ImpyDroid | It is a bit like Thor |
| 19:13.14 | ImpyDroid | But Thor looked very Norse despite being sci-fi |
| 19:13.27 | ImpyDroid | Hemsworth looked like an actual viking |
| 19:13.31 | ImpyDroid | *Viking |
| 19:13.42 | ImpyDroid | Meanwhile Seth is fucking Leonidas |
| 19:14.50 | Wormy_ | Sounds like its only loosely based on Egypt and instead focuses on Mediterranean Europe, a very limited Eurocentric perspective put into fantasy. |
| 19:14.53 | The_Randomness | This reminds me of a friend of mine who watches bad movies with his brother for some reason |
| 19:15.27 | The_Randomness | it's like some sort of perverse tradition |
| 19:15.35 | Ghel | I know British people are fond of moaning about bad movies. Maybe it exists in other cultures too. |
| 19:15.37 | ImpyDroid | Wormy_: Wediterranean Europe WITH CLEAVAGES |
| 19:15.46 | Wormy_ | Sadly quite a lot of its audience probably won't notice |
| 19:16.39 | Imperios | Ghel: We have a different outlook on movies |
| 19:16.46 | Imperios | Russians actually love the Star Wars prequels |
| 19:17.06 | The_Randomness | Am I a horrible person for not hating them with a passion? |
| 19:17.15 | Treebeard | Imperios: When angered by a film, you must take five simple steps |
| 19:17.22 | Treebeard | the first two are towards your sledgehammer, the last three to your television |
| 19:17.33 | The_Randomness | lmao |
| 19:17.37 | Hachiman | hur |
| 19:17.39 | Wormy_ | Random: You mean. not hating bad movies? |
| 19:17.54 | Hachiman | I like movies that are so bad they're good |
| 19:18.23 | Wormy_ | Tbh, if I was entertained by Sharkoctopus, I could probably enjoy this film. |
| 19:18.38 | ImpyDroid | Apparently the actress playing Hathor is also half-Vietnamese |
| 19:18.52 | The_Randomness | Wormy_: I'm a pleb, I didn't think they were bad |
| 19:18.59 | The_Randomness | Or at least not as bad as people make them out to me |
| 19:19.03 | The_Randomness | *to be |
| 19:19.23 | The_Randomness | The hate seems to be more justified than the hate towards the new Star Trek movies at least |
| 19:19.28 | ImpyDroid | Dat Asian goddess |
| 19:19.30 | The_Randomness | Which...isn't saying much I guess |
| 19:19.31 | Wormy_ | Well, hating people who watch bad movies is a step too far. |
| 19:19.52 | Xho | What's Imperios watching now |
| 19:19.59 | Imperios | God of Egypt |
| 19:20.02 | Xho | EEEEEECH |

| 19:23.21 | Monet | My only two cents is I saw the trailers for this film and thought "yeah this is a film where one turns their brain off" |
| 19:23.46 | The_Randomness | yeah, it sounds like something special |
| 19:24.09 | ImpyDroid | My brain can easily be turned off |
| 19:24.12 | ImpyDroid | But my eyes |

| 20:05.17 | Wormy_ | Norse, Mayan and Aztek are probably the most dangerous to offend |
| 20:06.52 | Wormy_ | *Aztec damnit |
| 20:07.53 | Ghel | How have you come to that conclusion? |
| 20:08.01 | *** join/#sporewiki DrodoEmpire (adfc264b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.173.252.38.75) |
| 20:08.12 | Tek0516 | Hey DrodoEmpire |
| 20:08.19 | DrodoEmpire | Hi everyoe |
| 20:08.21 | DrodoEmpire | *one |
| 20:08.40 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 20:09.10 | Wormy_ | Norse because Vikings |
| 20:09.32 | Wormy_ | Aztec and Mayan because they demand blood sacrifice on a large scale and look rather terrifying |
| 20:10.12 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: So my attempt at a Canada HoI4 game almost made Italy capitulate. But then France started collapsing and I got trapped in Vichy France, losing basically the entire Canadian military. By the time I stopped, still in 1940, around 3% of Canada's population was dead. |
| 20:10.16 | Tek0516 | XD |
| 20:10.38 | Xho | Mictlantecuhtli pls |
| 20:10.39 | DrodoEmpire | Jesus o.o |
| 20:11.17 | Wormy_ | Actually one ought to throw in the many headed demons and gods of Hinduism and Bön religion too, on a terrification scale |
| 20:11.30 | Ghel | So if you insult the Norse gods, you get attacked by Vikings... that's fair enough. There are modern-day worshippers of them, after all. And if you insult the Mesoamerican gods, do their modern-day worshippers sacrifice you or do the deities themselves take action? |
| 20:12.29 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: So I tried a USSR game instead. It's March 1936 and the Spanish Civil War started, plus France is now at war with both Germany and Communist France. O.o |
| 20:12.36 | Wormy_ | Latter, but I wouldn't discount fanatics in the former. |
| 20:13.18 | DrodoEmpire | Wow |
| 20:15.02 | Ghel | I didn't think the Mesoamerican deities were known for smiting mortals who insulted them. And I don't get the impression that the Hindu gods care much at all, but I could certainly be wrong there. |
| 20:15.45 | Ghel | Although come to think of it, the Mesoamerican ones... |
| 20:16.35 | Ghel | yeah, if you're going to worry about gods taking revenge against you, it might be best to avoid those ones. |
| 20:16.36 | Wormy_ | Well a big thunderstorm is coming, I'm probably to be smited for laughing at Spu's memes |
| 20:19.08 | Wormy_ | The Greek gods, they are too busy settling their own quarrels or courting humans. |
| 20:19.14 | Ghel | Given how well most of these polytheistic belief systems thrived into Christian and Islamic times, it shouldn't be too tricky to avoid their wrath. |
| 20:20.31 | Ghel | The Greek gods had their fair share of inflicting punishment upon mortals, though. |
| 20:22.38 | Ghel | This raises a question: given that the Greek and Norse pantheons are descended from that of the Proto-Indo-Europeans... did the deities themselves split as religion evolved? If you insult a PIE deity, do all of its descendant deities take offence? |
| 20:23.42 | Wormy_ | Thats not something I would advise trying |
| 20:24.08 | Ghel | And what happened with Zeus and Jupiter? Did they ever fully split, and if so, did they merge again later? |
| 20:25.18 | Ghel | I reckon you could do even better than insulting a PIE deity, though. Insult the sun and you get the attention of every solar deity in every mythology. |
| 20:25.58 | Wormy_ | Or Mother Moon |
| 20:26.40 | Wormy_ | (I think Jupiter and Zeus are split, but in a multi-ffaceted way |
| 20:26.44 | Wormy_ | bbl dinner |
| 20:26.57 | Ghel | You need to be gender-neutral here, though. If you specifically insult the sun/moon goddess then all of the sun/moon gods won't care, and vice versa. |
| 20:26.57 | Wormy_ | Like a many faced God |
| 20:57.46 | Wormy_ | What could be above the Moon and Sun archetype? |
| 20:58.02 | Wormy_ | Or Moon Goddess/Sky Father |
| 20:58.20 | Imperios | Ghel: What about the opposite? Do the gods take offense if their worshippers, or the descendants of their worshippers are persecuted? |
| 20:58.47 | Imperios | More importantly, is Trump a champion of the Aztec gods punishing the children of their followers for their apostasy, or their sworn enemy? |
| 20:58.51 | Wormy_ | The hmm, transcended Essence appears in many mythologies, beyond opposites |
| 20:59.25 | Wormy_ | but thats uite complex mythology |
| 20:59.44 | Ghel | Imperios: That example is a bit like "is the enemy of my enemy my friend?" |
| 21:00.57 | Ghel | I imagine more deities would be inclined to support punishing apostate descendants of worshippers. |
| 21:01.19 | Hachiman | I wonder where Oluap is |
| 21:01.25 | Hachiman | I'm kind of worried |
| 21:01.41 | Ghel | Partly because deities who don't care about being worshipped... aren't always going to be well-remembered. |
| 21:03.23 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: And more on screwing things up, It's June 1936 and world tension is at 03% |
| 21:03.27 | Tek0516 | *93% |
| 21:03.41 | DrodoEmpire | o.O |
| 21:04.03 | DrodoEmpire | Oh I got an AAR idea- keep the world tension below 100% all game |
| 21:04.24 | DrodoEmpire | That'd take major diplomatic skill |
| 21:05.08 | Tek0516 | http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/262712703886100558/20DB64F43AE08CE90B0F3B07D1755939C1219EC3/ |
| 21:07.36 | Wormy_ | Oh right yes I suppose there probably are moon gods and solar godesses |
| 21:08.39 | DrodoEmpire | Socialist Baguetteistan has taken over |
| 21:10.06 | Xho | Hachiman: Likely decided not to give a shit about being online today |
| 21:19.03 | Imperios | The_Randomness: I read that Clinton is dominating the Democratic circles now and slowly pushing Sanders out of the presidential race |
| 21:19.05 | Imperios | Is that true? |
| 21:19.18 | The_Randomness | yeah, sounds like it |
| 21:20.26 | DrodoEmpire | There's a lot of dispute around that |
| 21:20.26 | Imperios | Well in that case |
| 21:20.32 | Imperios | Trump has already wom |
| 21:21.19 | Imperios | Evil has won, hoorah |
| 21:21.35 | The_Randomness | hm, maybe I shouldn't have said anything |
| 21:22.23 | Monet | Actually this sort of confuses me. |
| 21:22.59 | Monet | If America is a deocratic two-party system nation, why are we acting like the president is the only decision-maker here? |
| 21:23.25 | Monet | Who knows Clinton might come in with a strong, (somewhat) sane Democrat body. |
| 21:23.29 | The_Randomness | Monet: because clearly the president is the most important thing that exists |
| 21:23.43 | The_Randomness | Like, of course they make all of the decisions, dictate policy, etc. |
| 21:23.58 | Imperios | The US is more of a presidential republic I believe |
| 21:23.58 | Monet | She might even spend her term fighting a Republican congress. |
| 21:24.06 | Imperios | Though Cyr or Frenchie may correct me |
| 21:24.30 | Imperios | BTW |
| 21:24.36 | Imperios | Who is the head of government in the US? |
| 21:24.51 | DrodoEmpire | head kang |
| 21:24.56 | DrodoEmpire | he does work n sheit |
| 21:25.11 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire: But he WUZ kang |
| 21:25.15 | Imperios | who be kang now |
| 21:25.26 | DrodoEmpire | we wuz all kangs- but he the head kang now |
| 21:26.02 | DrodoEmpire | above all the other kangs- he gets the biggest pyramid |
| 21:26.35 | Imperios | so like he be kang of kangs |
| 21:26.51 | DrodoEmpire | kang of kangs yeah |
| 21:27.08 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
| 21:27.10 | DrodoEmpire | >.> |
| 21:27.11 | Imperios | ...which was actually the title of the Ethiopian monarch |
| 21:27.22 | Imperios | *wuz |
| 21:27.40 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 21:29.02 | Imperios | And speaking of kangs |
| 21:29.17 | Imperios | Hachiman: Apparently Saudi Arabia actually has the title of Prime Minister |
| 21:29.22 | Imperios | positino even |
| 21:29.33 | Imperios | Except that it is always held by the King |
