02:50.14 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
02:50.31 | DrodoEmpire | You came at a bad time >.< Its *really* late for most users |
02:52.13 | Spluff5 | I finally finished the culture section for the Sanuran, now their page is almost complete. |
02:53.21 | DrodoEmpire | Oh cool |
02:58.07 | Spluff5 | How far into a species development as a spacefaring empire would you say is reasonable todiscover hyperspace? |
03:08.18 | DrodoEmpire | Uh |
03:08.18 | DrodoEmpire | Hm |
03:08.22 | DrodoEmpire | Well... |
03:08.33 | DrodoEmpire | The thing is that the universe is *highly* connected |
03:09.10 | DrodoEmpire | Its far more likely and far more efficient to buy or learn of hyperdrives from an existing power, unless you're *that* isolated for some weird reason |
03:27.50 | Spluff5 | Isolated in time, it takes place approx 200,000 years before most other stuff. |
03:31.12 | DrodoEmpire | Right, right |
04:19.06 | Spluff5 | Do you know what current human year it is in the fiction? |

04:22.18 | The_Randomness | Hello |
04:24.35 | DrodoEmpire | Spluff: 2811-2813 |
04:24.40 | DrodoEmpire | Depends |
05:32.34 | Spluff5 | I ask because I want to make my empire technologically on-par with the rest of the fiction so they can meaningfully participate and their age is a really key number. |
05:33.01 | The_Randomness | what do you mean? |
05:41.30 | Spluff5 | My empire goes into a cloaked Dyson sphere for 200,000 years for which most of the time they are in suspended animation. I'm wondering when I should have them wake up and start developing again within the sphere before emerging. |
05:42.02 | The_Randomness | why would they do this? |
05:44.39 | The_Randomness | Also, why this long, and it's unlikely that anything would survive even a fraction of that amount of time without something going wrong with it |
05:46.36 | Spluff5 | war |
05:46.36 | Spluff5 | They do it it avoid a massive |
05:47.10 | Spluff5 | It is maintained by robots that do maintenance and the like to keep to going |
05:48.24 | The_Randomness | Well, at least you have that going for you, at least, but I'm still not sold on this. |
05:48.52 | The_Randomness | Why 200000 years just to hide themselves from an unspecified enemy? |
05:52.20 | Spluff5 | The enemy is specified in a sort of "prequel" series. They are drastically more powerful than the Sanuran and so they don't really know what they are capable of and so decide to wait for a very long period while other races fight them. |
05:54.22 | The_Randomness | Were they hostile before this, and did they know of the Sanurans? |
05:56.30 | Spluff5 | They are discovered by the Sanurans by going through a wormhole that neither species was aware of. They then declare war on the Perseus Coalition which then rages for decade, with the Sanurans exiting the Coalition because of it and then going into hiding. The other species of the coalition continue to fight until the Vex are repeled. |
05:56.41 | Spluff5 | Although, many go extinct in the process. |
05:58.05 | Spluff5 | They destroy the wormhole so the Vex cannot come back, at least not until much later. This also works out well because me creating a new wormhole might interfere with existing canon. |
05:58.17 | The_Randomness | Why do they declare war? |
05:58.43 | The_Randomness | Actually, let me put this to the side for a moment |
05:59.18 | The_Randomness | The entire idea of contriving your fiction into "being on par with the rest of fiction" does not seem like a good way of going about this |
05:59.40 | Spluff5 | To conquer and expand their empire to plunder the resources of space they had previously not explored. The vex spread like a virus rather than like a colonising/conquering empire. |
06:01.14 | Spluff5 | What would you propose? |
06:03.09 | The_Randomness | What I'm trying to say is that you should not even think about relative power going in, since it distracts from worldbuilding |
06:04.09 | Spluff5 | OK...? |

06:05.14 | The_Randomness | And, honestly, focusing on relative power like this almost always comes off as "hey look, I'm powerful and/or relevant!" |
06:05.32 | The_Randomness | Not that what you're doing here necessarily comes off as that |
06:06.21 | Tek0516 | Hello |
06:06.26 | Spluff5 | Hi |
06:06.28 | The_Randomness | Hello |
06:06.33 | DrodoEmpire | Ehh, this isn't a *terrible* idea |
06:06.40 | DrodoEmpire | Its different, for sure |
06:06.43 | DrodoEmpire | But interesting |
06:06.50 | The_Randomness | yeah, it's better than what I normally see |
06:07.01 | DrodoEmpire | And we shouldn't look down on fiction merely for being unconventional :p |
06:07.06 | The_Randomness | I understand that |
06:07.23 | The_Randomness | At least it doesn't invoke magical precursor races or anything like that |
06:07.35 | The_Randomness | But I am a hardass when it comes to things like this |
06:07.39 | Spluff5 | I just want to actually be able to interact with other empires in the future. The bulk of the worldbuilding is being done in a time period before they even existed though. |
06:08.20 | The_Randomness | The idea of a nation waking up to a completely different world is interesting |
06:08.53 | The_Randomness | But with the level of technology you're implying here, I don't think technology will be a concern |

06:13.06 | Spluff5 | Did I miss anything? |
06:13.13 | The_Randomness | I don't think so |
06:13.41 | DrodoEmpire | Right, well, don't be a such a hardass Random :p |
06:13.57 | DrodoEmpire | I don't see anything terribly wrong with the idea, to be honest, though I've skimmed |
06:14.15 | Spluff5 | I may have thought of a solution to the extreme time hibernating. |
06:14.27 | DrodoEmpire | Hm? |
06:15.21 | DrodoEmpire | I mean, yeah, 200k years is a very long time, but I'm sure a true achievment of engineering could produce such a thing especially if its maintained by a race or a group of robots |
06:16.15 | Spluff5 | They set the wake-up timer for maybe a couple hundred years. But the robots left to tend the sphere of course have the ability to produce more robots. They evolve and become more advanced, realizing that when the wake-up occurs they will all shutdown |
06:16.27 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
06:16.47 | DrodoEmpire | So what you're saying is that in the interests of self-preservation this race of machines keeps their masters waiting? |
06:16.53 | DrodoEmpire | That's... Actually a really cool idea |
06:17.02 | Spluff5 | So they indefinitely postpone the wakeup. Until they actually have evolved enough to realise that they can co-exist with the Sanurans and so wake them up. |
06:17.04 | Spluff5 | Yeah |
06:17.25 | DrodoEmpire | Or perhaps through the generations they forget? Either or I guess |
06:17.30 | Spluff5 | I could do a whole episode about whether they are "alive" and can be considered "sentient". |
06:17.34 | DrodoEmpire | Hell maybe even die out |
06:18.11 | Spluff5 | Kind of like the Measure of a Man episode of Star Trek TNG |
06:18.15 | Spluff5 | I love that episode |
06:18.17 | The_Randomness | anyway, I'm off for now |
06:18.19 | The_Randomness | bye guys |
06:18.34 | Spluff5 | Night. Thanks for your help |
06:18.55 | DrodoEmpire | Anyway, its really late where I am |
06:19.09 | DrodoEmpire | I should seriously get some sleep, so I'll leave the channel open but I can't talk anymore |
06:19.10 | DrodoEmpire | Sorry |
06:19.15 | Spluff5 | Ok |
06:19.17 | DrodoEmpire | Its a really really cool idea though |
06:19.22 | Spluff5 | How do you leave it open? |
06:19.24 | DrodoEmpire | I encourage you to keep working on it |
06:19.30 | DrodoEmpire | Just switch my nick |
06:19.33 | Spluff5 | Mine cuts out when I close my computer |
06:19.40 | DrodoAway | Or rather |

06:19.55 | Spluff5 | I have to reconnect when I close my screen |
06:20.06 | Spluff5 | Do you use some sort of client? |
06:20.17 | DrodoSleep | No, I'll just leave it open :p |
06:20.42 | DrodoSleep | Despite that there's a decent chance I'll disconnect at some point, but not for a few hours at least |
06:20.53 | DrodoSleep | drop me a private message if you want, I can respond in the morning |
06:20.58 | DrodoSleep | With that I'm off |

10:40.34 | Monet | Hello |
10:53.50 | Monet | I got into thinking last night after a trip to London about portraying how for much of the Imperium, Alcanti is this poncy paradise world where all the 0.001 percenters live who wonder how the rest of the Imperium suffers without all the luxuries Alcantites have. |

11:00.55 | ImpyDroid2 | Monet: I imagine some protectorate worlds must suck a lot |
11:01.23 | Monet | Those might be some of the most extreme. |
11:01.55 | ImpyDroid2 | Pax Draconica may bring a lot of foreign goods but I can totally imagine Draconis slowly displacing the locals- not via population, but economically and culturally |
11:02.10 | ImpyDroid2 | *not demographically |
11:02.47 | Monet | Because of how hands-off the Imperial government is, I'm sure if you go deep enough into some of them you'll get people who are unaware the paragon they think is in charge has been dead for a while. |
11:03.01 | Monet | Or have no clue who the chancellor is. |
11:04.46 | Monet | I guess while Pax Draconica does in theory protect cultural values, in practice it doesn't completely stop cultural assimilation. |
11:04.48 | ImpyDroid2 | "May God bless and keep the Paragon... far away from us!" |
11:06.44 | Monet | Maybe provincial governments have to deal with independence groups who think they don't need Alcanti to prosper. |
11:12.54 | Monet | Actually I wonder if much of the population would be offended/confused when foreigners talk or act like all the Imperium's people act like the Draocnid aristocracy. |

13:02.05 | OluapPlayer | hi |
13:07.18 | Wormy_ | hello |
13:39.36 | Monet | When I was in London yesterday something interesting happened. I was waring this outfit made up of a sky blue shirt, black waistcoat, black trousers, and I must have been approached at least four times travelling the Underground by people who must have thought I was staff. |
13:42.37 | Wormy_ | Yeah when I did my field trip to the Roaches last year, whenever I wore my hard hat beneath the rocks people mistook me as somekind safety officer |
13:42.44 | Wormy_ | or expert |
13:44.04 | Wormy_ | One man guiding a tour asked me if it was safe to bring his tour under the cliffs. So I decided to pretend I was a safety officer and told him that sinbce it had been raining, the rocks could be more unstable |
13:44.53 | Monet | Lol |
13:44.55 | Wormy_ | Then this father with his kid brought me to this circular mark in obe of the rocks and I pointed out it was probably where a miltstone was cut out |
13:45.08 | Monet | The odd thing is a lot of tube staff didn't wear what I was wearing. |
13:45.28 | Wormy_ | And then I had numereous people asking me geological questions as I was doing my work |
13:45.45 | Wormy_ | Its because you looked like a person of authority |
13:46.41 | Monet | Probably a supervisor. |
13:46.54 | Wormy_ | I think my long yellow notebook and tools added to the persona |
13:46.58 | Monet | A lot of tube staff were wearing bold blue t-shirts. |

14:14.52 | Hachiman | Hi |
14:15.51 | Hachiman | Foster kid's gone missing after deciding he was gonna try to go to London to see Millwall F.C. play on his own |
14:16.03 | Hachiman | So today's been, and is probably going to keep being, a little hectic |
14:18.11 | OluapPlayer | Oh shit |
14:19.50 | Hachiman | Police have been called, foster agency has been informed; kid made a run for the local train station while my parents were sorting out two younger kids, my stepdad managed to get there before him and ensure that the people at the ticket booths wouldn't sell him anything |
14:20.34 | Hachiman | He came back home and threatened to kick our front door down, threatened to steal the TV we had in the room he was staying in, and then made another runner |
14:20.35 | Hachiman | Police have been called, foster agency has been informed; kid made a run for the local train station while my parents were sorting out two younger kids, my stepdad managed to get there before him and ensure that the people at the ticket booths wouldn't sell him anything |
14:21.56 | Hachiman | He's been staying with us for around six weeks, taken him out to see movies and stuff around town, as well as stuff outside of town, and gave him a room with a TV in when his original place wouldn't let him yet he still feels justified to treat us like shit and try going to London |
14:22.27 | OluapPlayer | Wow, what a fucking cunt |
14:22.42 | OluapPlayer | Why do you have to foster this kid? |
14:23.08 | Hachiman | Because my parents signed up to the foster agency due to being too crippled to work in the police anymore |
14:23.42 | Hachiman | And because no other foster parents will take him due to his record of previous incidents as well as the fact his school takes two hours to get to and more to get back |
14:24.05 | OluapPlayer | No wonder no one wants him |
14:25.31 | Monet | How old is he? |
14:25.58 | Hachiman | 12, with the mentality of a 6 year old |
14:26.15 | Hachiman | Likely autistic and has clear behavioural and hearing problems |
14:27.13 | Hachiman | He took drugs at a young age because he comes from a scummy councilite family somewhere in London where his mother, father, and older brother all took drugs |
14:28.33 | Monet | Ah |
14:28.59 | Monet | I suppose that explains a number of his issues. |
14:29.59 | Hachiman | I'm fairly convinced it is in his nature to be a little fuck though and 12 is when the hormones start to kick in as far as I know |
14:31.25 | Hachiman | Typical councilite football thug kid who thinks he's tougher than he actually is; he is fairly convinced that people are scared of him, which could tie in to why he likes to hang around younger children since it'd be easy for him to tell them what to do or dominate them |
14:32.27 | Hachiman | He actually raised a hand to hit my younger nephew the other day and also tried to get one of the other foster kids we have to flinch by pretending to punch him in the face while they were eating |
14:33.14 | OluapPlayer | It'd detest to share a house with a kid like that |
14:34.17 | Hachiman | So do my parents; they've been looking for ways to get him transported to another family but no one is willing to take him and the agency keeps pressuring us to have him |
14:35.04 | Monet | A problem case through-and-through |
14:35.19 | Hachiman | My parents earn a healthy bunch of cash from it granted but all that money just inevitably goes into feeding the children and taking them out on day trips anyway so there's little, if any, actual profit |
14:35.48 | Monet | That's ideally what the money is for. |
14:36.08 | Hachiman | Well yeah of course, but still |
14:36.21 | Hachiman | The little profit that is actually gained is not worth this kid's shit |
14:40.35 | Monet | Not sure what to suggest. |
14:42.03 | Monet | Getting a kid like that to behave is...hard. |
14:42.46 | Hachiman | Well, it's up to the police to find him now and for the agency to deal with him because my parents have made it clear that he's not to come back if he continued to threaten theft and property damage |
14:43.36 | Hachiman | I've had to hide the TV under my bed and I'm being made to listen out for the door in case he decides to come back and try kicking it down to get his stuff and such |
14:44.10 | Hachiman | It's not that we denied him his stuff; he just up and left without taking anything other than the clothes on his back and his pocket money - all £20 of it |
14:46.43 | OluapPlayer | Wait I thought he had already come back |
14:47.02 | OluapPlayer | Or is this the second time he escapes? |
14:47.18 | Hachiman | Technically the third since he tried this last week |
14:47.31 | OluapPlayer | Jesus christ |
14:47.35 | OluapPlayer | Throw him the TRASH |
14:47.45 | OluapPlayer | in the TRASH even |
14:47.55 | Hachiman | He escaped the first time today when my parents were distracted with the other kids they were looking after and then he was brought back and escaped again |
14:47.58 | OluapPlayer | Throwing trash at him may also sound good |
14:48.09 | Hachiman | So he's still missing |
14:48.44 | OluapPlayer | "oops the kid fled guess we cant take care of him anymore huh [shrug shrug shrug]" |

14:51.38 | Monet | A number of these council-house brats are aware that it's no longer legal to spank children. |
14:51.57 | Hachiman | Indeed; we're not allowed to lock them in their rooms or restrain them |
14:52.13 | Hachiman | We have to let them leave if they want to leave and then call he agency so they can inform the police |
14:52.56 | OluapPlayer | permission to destroy child granted |
14:58.15 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: I'd padlock my rom |
14:58.17 | Wormy_ | *room |
14:58.57 | Wormy_ | But still, you shouldn't have to |
15:00.26 | Wormy_ | What? Did dogooders ban smacking? |
15:00.33 | Monet | Ages ago |
15:00.34 | Wormy_ | Fuck sake |
15:00.49 | OluapPlayer | Jesus wormy get out of that rock |
15:01.05 | Monet | At least I think they did |
15:01.19 | OluapPlayer | Smacking children has been outlawed over the world years ago |
15:01.25 | Wormy_ | A smack from my Dad saved me from serious harm once, I hate to think he'd get in troubke for that these days |
15:01.43 | OluapPlayer | I don't believe violence against children helps them in any way |
15:01.53 | OluapPlayer | Except in the most extreme of cases. Like Hachi's foster kid |
15:01.58 | OluapPlayer | I'd have smacked his teeth off |
15:02.02 | Wormy_ | More like a full on slap |
15:02.09 | Monet | According to legislation, you can smack a child, but you can't hit them hard enough that it leaves a mark. |
15:02.59 | Wormy_ | I was three and I picked up a broken glass bottle with liquid in it to drink (it had glass shards in it), he knocked it out my hand and cut my lip. But it saved my life potentially |
15:03.06 | OluapPlayer | I was beaten a lot as a kid, and I'm inclined to believe it's one of the reasons I'm such an introvert |
15:03.44 | Monet | Wormy_: Not sure if that counts as smacking. |
15:03.58 | Wormy_ | I only believe in smacking in the most extreme situations, like if they do something potentially dangerous |
15:04.18 | Wormy_ | Wasn't really smacking though, but he did knoc me over and cut my lip |
15:04.28 | Wormy_ | Avsolutrely necessary though |
15:05.03 | OluapPlayer | I was not allowed to get out, play or talk to others. I spent a chunk of my childhood afraid of my parents |
15:05.10 | OluapPlayer | I don't like the thought of others going through the same |
15:05.30 | Wormy_ | I don't believe in beating kids or animals |
15:05.45 | Monet | OluapPlayer: I'd say your introversion is perhaps the fault of your parents. |
15:05.53 | OluapPlayer | Animals even less, they're not sapient and can't understand your reasons |
15:06.08 | OluapPlayer | Violence just leads to more violence |
15:08.24 | OluapPlayer | The talk about the broken bottle reminded me of one thing from my childhood |
15:09.07 | OluapPlayer | Once I tried to climb a rather tall wardrobe to get a doll and the insides fell on top of me |
15:09.20 | OluapPlayer | My luck was there was a bed on the floor which cushioned my fall |
15:09.31 | Wormy_ | Ouch |
15:10.04 | Wormy_ | I fell headfirst out of my bunkbed once, and was knocked out cold |
15:10.08 | OluapPlayer | I must've been like 6 or 7 at the time |
15:10.16 | Wormy_ | I had one when I was a kid |
15:10.42 | Wormy_ | Though I bounced off a wall which cushioned it slightly |
15:11.16 | Monet | If this foster child acts like a tough guy like Hachi describes, he's probably been brought up through peer pressure to be aggressive - toughen up or die. |
15:11.53 | Wormy_ | He might well have been beaten |
15:11.59 | OluapPlayer | If the bed wasn't there I could've hurt my spine probably |
15:12.15 | OluapPlayer | But instead I was just left with a bruise from the part of the wardrobe that fell on me |
15:12.29 | OluapPlayer | A bruise on the crotch thing nearly hit me in the twiddle diddles |
15:13.34 | Wormy_ | fuck |
15:13.35 | Monet | Ouchie |
15:14.25 | OluapPlayer | that would have been the end of me |
15:14.27 | Hachiman | Jesus |
15:14.32 | OluapPlayer | Fuck that stupid Pikachu doll |
15:14.35 | OluapPlayer | It was all its fault |
15:14.49 | Wormy_ | I still think the local bobby sahould be allowed to give scummy hoodlums a good spanking like the olden days |
15:15.17 | Wormy_ | if caught vandalising things or threatening people or smashing bottles |
15:15.36 | Hachiman | Thing is right, if we are forced to keep him here |
15:15.44 | Wormy_ | Breing back the stocks and public humilation too |
15:15.44 | Hachiman | I'm likely babysitting him on my birthday |
15:16.04 | Hachiman | Because my stepdad needs back surgery and my mum wants to go with him for support |
15:16.44 | Wormy_ | Sorry about that, do you have anyne who can help you on your birthday? |
15:18.04 | Hachiman | Not really, but I honestly doubt he'll stay here after today |
15:18.12 | Hachiman | Likely gonna be taken into police protection |
15:18.24 | OluapPlayer | put the little shit under arrest |
15:18.41 | Wormy_ | I wonder if he's doing this on purpose, you know. Causes as much trouble as he can in each home he ends up in |
15:18.45 | Hachiman | He is |
15:18.46 | Wormy_ | so to get out |
15:18.55 | Wormy_ | He could have authority issues |
15:18.57 | Hachiman | Thing is, there's no other places for him |
15:19.26 | Hachiman | He's deluded himself into thinking that social workers and foster carers *serve* him and do things to appease him |
15:20.01 | Hachiman | Like, he once spoke to my mum about me and said that he doesn't like me very much because "I don't do anything for him" |
15:20.33 | Wormy_ | I think he needs an upbringing designed to work with his psychological issues - a difficult thing with institiionilised people |
15:20.41 | OluapPlayer | Pfff |
15:20.56 | Hachiman | If he had struck my nephew the other day though, I'm fairly certain he'd have ended up with a criminal record at the end of the day because my sister's not going to let her children get hurt without consequence from a kid who, as he's over 10 years old, should be reprimanded for his actions by the law |
15:21.13 | Wormy_ | yeah |
15:21.53 | OluapPlayer | I AM THE LAW |
15:22.12 | Hachiman | We actually had a P.O. in my house today to investigate rooms and such because of this |
15:22.26 | Hachiman | Which is embarrassing because my parents work for the same police force he does |
15:23.45 | OluapPlayer | Reminds me of the time my dad (a cop) took us to travel, drove drunk and got stopped by other cops in the road |
15:23.54 | OluapPlayer | Never questioned the event but I bet it was embarassing |
15:24.10 | Hachiman | I can imagine |
15:24.22 | OluapPlayer | He deserved it though and still does |
15:24.28 | Hachiman | Also fuck your dad for driving drunk |
15:24.31 | Wormy_ | Did he get away with it? If you mind me asking. |
15:24.48 | OluapPlayer | He must have since the cops let us go |
15:25.00 | Monet | Wish I could share but I've never seen any of my dad's co-workers. |
15:25.02 | Wormy_ | Sounds quite corrupt imo |
15:25.03 | OluapPlayer | But he still does it today. Drinks like a madman and drives |
15:25.36 | OluapPlayer | Hell the main reason for my parents's divorce is because of how much of an alcoholic he is |
15:25.48 | Hachiman | Now I can see why you don't like people drinking |
15:26.12 | OluapPlayer | Yeah living 18 years with an alcoholic smoker isn't very nice |
15:26.16 | Monet | Okay yeah. Things re clearer now. |
15:26.21 | OluapPlayer | Especially when he was in a bad mood |
15:26.33 | Wormy_ | Well their drinking socially. And then there's drinking as a habit |
15:26.48 | Wormy_ | *there's |
15:27.13 | Hachiman | I've manage to give myself a bit of limitation since I don't often drink at home anymore; I restrict myself to soda and stuff |
15:27.26 | OluapPlayer | My dad must be 50% blood 50% beer |
15:27.34 | OluapPlayer | even the divorce didn't change his habits |
15:27.55 | Hachiman | You know it actually takes around a 4% alcohol content in your bloodstream to prove fatal |
15:28.13 | *** join/#sporewiki ImpyDroid (~Anders@host-35-157-66-217.spbmts.ru) |
15:28.58 | Hachiman | Fuck knows how you can manage to do that; I reached approximately 2% once on Christmas Eve and it was not pleasant |
15:29.17 | OluapPlayer | u drunk shit i dont like u anymore |
15:29.37 | Hachiman | Well, to be fair, I don't drive |
15:29.55 | Wormy_ | If I'll be honest my liver has been aching lately if I drink too much. Can't tell if its psychosomatic as I suffer fake ailments a lot from anxiety |
15:30.01 | Hachiman | And I consider myself passive and responsible enough not to put other people at risk |
15:30.38 | Wormy_ | >Alements lol |
15:31.51 | OluapPlayer | My dad has become a much calmer person after the divorce. But he still drunk-drives, which is the reason I usually don't spend holidays with him |
15:32.11 | OluapPlayer | Because I know he's gonna get piss-drunk and drive at a million miles per hour and leave me at the edge of my seat |
15:32.43 | OluapPlayer | He's the kind of guy who drunk-drives and gets mad at the other drivers for getting in his way while doing it |
15:32.48 | Monet | I'll drink wine when dining, but rarely ever more than a glass. |
15:35.20 | Wormy_ | I've been rather good this week, I've had three beers, but only one per night |
15:36.23 | Wormy_ | Monet: My mother got you to knock down that beer at my show though |
15:36.46 | Monet | I'm a social drinker. |
15:37.03 | Monet | Anyone who offers me a drink makes me think "so shall I?" |
15:37.29 | Wormy_ | "Get it dahn yA" I was chuckling to myself |
15:37.39 | Monet | I'm a slow drinker. |
15:38.26 | Wormy_ | I prefer drinking with people too. In fact it makes me more sociable and friendly in RL |
15:38.35 | Wormy_ | It can be beneficial |
15:43.24 | Wormy_ | I like wine too, with food |
15:43.34 | Wormy_ | Can't booze on it, just makes one tired |
15:45.36 | Wormy_ | Is this the most dickish moment in Olympic sport or what? http://i.imgur.com/uMQZfC9.jpg |
15:45.52 | Wormy_ | Guy was on his way to victory when that man pushed him |
15:46.35 | OluapPlayer | Fucking irish |
15:46.38 | OluapPlayer | I blame Cyrannian |
15:47.19 | Monet | I'm not sure that is an Irishman. |
15:49.34 | Wormy_ | Apparently it was |
15:50.28 | Wormy_ | A religuous preacher with a histiory of spoiling events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Horan |
15:51.04 | Monet | Oh. |
15:51.30 | Monet | Shows how much I know about the gy |
15:53.10 | Wormy_ | I only just read about him hur |
15:53.24 | Monet | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Horan#/media/File:Silverstone_horan.jpg does he want to die? |
15:54.33 | Wormy_ | He thinks the end is nigh anyway |
15:55.30 | Wormy_ | Often when I watch le Tour you get idiots running along the side of the riders |
15:55.46 | Wormy_ | Last Year people spat on Team Sky and someone poured urine on Froome |
15:56.47 | Monet | Eww |
15:57.49 | Wormy_ | They didn't get that abuse this year. I think the French media accused Team Sky of cheating last year, but last year Froome stood up and told the French nation he respected the sport and France |
16:02.09 | Hachiman | So, update; kid has been found at a carnival in my town, he was unsuccessful in travelling to London and is now in police custody |
16:03.02 | Monet | 20 quid won't get him far to London |
16:03.39 | Wormy_ | Lol |
16:05.33 | Hachiman | I consider myself a slow drinker, but I can down a rum and cola like nobody's business |
16:05.44 | OluapPlayer | Gonna play ME again |
16:05.47 | OluapPlayer | It's been a while |
16:05.50 | Wormy_ | Does he stay in police custody now until your parents decide what to do or is he returned immediately? |
16:05.50 | Monet | £15 is about the price of a one-way ticket from where I live to London. |
16:06.18 | Wormy_ | rum and coke is a deceptive drink |
16:06.44 | Wormy_ | I can down my drink quickly but I prefer to drink slowly for the taste |
16:06.44 | Hachiman | Wormy_: Not sure, the agency is insisting that he comes back to our place but my parents both argue against it because he does not want to be here and they do not want him here |
16:07.33 | Wormy_ | I think your parents are in the right |
16:08.50 | Hachiman | Monet: Find an excuse to come to Hastings and I'll treat you to our rock & roll and metal bars |
16:09.27 | Wormy_ | If I'm ever in Hastings or near it, I'll message you |
16:09.53 | Hachiman | I am also inclined to buy rounds more often than I should hur |
16:10.35 | Wormy_ | Same if you ever come to Nottinghamshire or Derbyshire. Nottingham has rock and metal bars, rock city, old pubs and punk-pubs |
16:10.56 | Hachiman | That's up north isn't it? |
16:11.19 | Wormy_ | East Midlands / North zone of confusion, but yes |
16:12.45 | Wormy_ | This pub dates to 1189 http://nightlifedirectory.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ye-olde-trip-to-jerusalem.jpg |
16:13.40 | Hachiman | "Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem" |
16:14.02 | Wormy_ | Parts may date back to 947 AD |
16:15.17 | Hachiman | There's a pub in my town which claims to be haunted by a pair of ghosts - a ghastly lady with shining blue eyes who walks the corridors and a little girl who plays in her bedroom upstairs - and has a pair of dead, mummified century-old cats on its wall |
16:16.39 | Wormy_ | I think I've read about that pub in Fortean Times |
16:16.49 | Wormy_ | At least a pub with a mummified cat anyway |
16:20.37 | Monet | Cool |
16:21.43 | Wormy_ | Type in "The black cat of killakee" |
16:22.01 | Wormy_ | I'm not, it gives me the spoiks |
16:22.35 | Wormy_ | Someone painted a demonic cat they saw in an Irish inn, which is now hung on the wall |

18:27.42 | Hachiman | "Oblivion is 10 years old, so the amount of work for that engine and that tech to bring it and remaster it and do all the things we wanted to do was significant. It's not impossible, but it was mountainous. It was either like, go make an entire new game or do Skyrim. It just seemed to be a much closer path. It was the most successful game that we had ever done before Fallout 4, so it already had a huge audience." |
18:27.58 | Hachiman | That's Bethesda's justification for remastering Skyrim rather than any of the previous games |
18:28.39 | Hachiman | In essence; they remastered Skyrim because much less work and could afford to be lazy because they knew it'd sale anyway |
18:30.41 | Monet | It worked. |
18:32.33 | Monet | Wait let me rephrase. |
18:33.42 | Monet | I see your cynicism but Skyrim is far more popular in terms of numbers than Oblivion. |
18:35.02 | Monet | I see it as a smart balance. Game developer work is normally borderline sweatshop work anyway. |
18:38.45 | Monet | Thing is they're not getting maximum profit from this anyway as the remaster is free for anyone who already has Skyrim. |
