00:12.05Tek0516Hm... I'm torn on whether to continue my EU4 game. :/
00:12.10The_RandomnessHello
00:12.15Tek0516Hello Random
00:13.12The_RandomnessI just saw the new Star Trek movie
00:13.14The_Randomnessit was amazing
00:13.15DrodoEmpireTek0516: how come?
00:13.17DrodoEmpireHow was it-
00:13.20DrodoEmpireOh, nice
00:13.53Tek0516I thought it was a great film. My mom hasn't seen it yet so I may go see it again soon.
00:14.50The_RandomnessI'm sure someone on the Star Trek subreddit is complaining about it
00:15.02The_Randomnessbecause nobody hates Star Trek like its own fans
00:16.11Tek0516DrodoEmpire: Stuck with an unmaintainable PU over France. Had to abuse the AI just to keep it as long as I have.
00:16.26DrodoEmpireAhh
00:16.42DrodoEmpireYeah that does seem tricky
00:17.41Tek0516And that abusing the AI specifically means a decade or two of constant at war so far, while desperately trying to double the size of my country. >.<
00:18.33DrodoEmpireJeez
00:18.34Tek0516Still at 150% Liberty Desire or something.
00:18.44DrodoEmpireYeah you're in a crazy situation
00:19.11Tek0516Only way to let it go too is an independence war AFAIK.
00:20.02Tek0516I'm also several hundred in debt and bleeding cash just maintaining my forcelimit (relative power LD modifier).
00:24.01DrodoEmpireJeez
00:30.00Tek0516DrodoEmpire: Oh, I want to see if you can notice the ironic thing about one of my colonies. (Should be close to home for you. :P) https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/LRrpgXjq/eu4_22.png
00:30.18DrodoEmpireayyy
00:30.51Tek0516Not the name, but rather what it doesn't have. XD
00:31.50Tek0516DrodoEmpire: Oh, and here's that super-stable PU of mine. >.< https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/eMLkLa8p/eu4_23.png
00:32.05DrodoEmpireYeah, Nova Scotia >.<
00:32.18DrodoEmpireJeez...
00:33.50Tek0516My rivals presently are England, Denmark and Burgundy. The former two of which I am at war with. (If I can eat enough of England to vassalize it I get a free instant-annex option via form Great Britain.)
00:35.21Tek0516France is really messing with my simple Scottish colonialist game. :P
00:38.27Tek0516At some point I need to play a communist Brazil game in HoI4, conquer South America, and create a custom faction called Roreinia. :P
00:39.42DrodoEmpirehur
00:40.36Tek0516In other possible SporeWiki Paradox mods, late 21st/early 22nd Earth as an HoI4 mod. :P

00:41.54Wormy_Just slept half the night in my garden hur
00:43.43DrodoEmpirehuh
00:45.17Tek0516O.o
00:45.23The_Randomnesslol
00:45.28The_RandomnessWormy_: I just saw the new Star Trek movie
00:58.07MonetCool
01:00.30Wormy_Not seen it yet, was itgood?
01:01.06Wormy_DrodoEmpire:  So I've found a planet thats been discovered by another player, who simply labelled it as "O.o"
01:01.19Wormy_I just had to land on it
01:01.20The_RandomnessWormy_: yeah, it was amazing
01:01.42Wormy_Thats good to know, one person I know on Facebook said it was shit
01:01.45The_Randomnesslol
01:02.14The_Randomnesswonder if they even watched it
01:03.14Wormy_DrodoEmpire:  The planet is covered in these ancient artifacts that are very expensive.  But the Sentinels are very protective, even going near them makes them scan me.  The planet also has storms so I had to blast my way into an outpost where an alien race seems to be building a secret ship
01:03.41Wormy_I don't know whats going on here but no reason the player labelled this odd planet "O.o"
02:15.21Tek0516O.o I think I just won an HoI4 war with only 16 casualties.
02:16.09The_Randomnesssounds impressive
02:17.36Tek0516They actually had comparable army regiments, but it was a one state enemy which left a gap in their line. :P
02:25.21Charles_BotWhat a change from your 4-year war with Ecuador ;)
02:26.07Charles_BotI won WWII as France last night, against Germany, Italy, Spain, and Hungary and the Axis had access through France.
02:26.19Charles_BotIt was laughably easy.
02:26.26Charles_BotAnd this was a MP game.
02:27.43Charles_BotAxis has access through Switzerland*
02:28.13Tek0516Charles_Bot: Well this time it's Brazil vs. Uruguay instead of Peru vs. Ecuador. XD
02:34.35Tek0516Uruguay and Paraguay down, Bolivia is my next target. Then I have six more nations to go (plus the colonizers)
02:36.23Tek0516Charles_Bot: And if I get lucky it's another world war with France over french Guiana. :P
02:39.11Charles_BotI tried attacking Brazil from French Guiana once over a war they declared on the US
02:39.26Charles_BotThat was a really bad idea.
02:41.12Tek0516Supply problems in the Amazon?
02:42.18Tek0516I have a supply limit of 7 there.
02:48.18Charles_Bot^
02:57.41Tek0516So I basically have to work my way clockwise around the Amazon. XD
03:00.49Tek0516Also, basically every nation has all their troops on my border. O.o
03:24.29Wormy_bye
03:49.53Tek0516Charles_Bot: Of course, Bolivia crumbles except for two mountain provinces containing its capital.

13:21.31Wormy_hello
13:21.44MonetHello
13:22.34XhoI really need to fucking clean out my friends list on Steam
13:22.53XhoI'm not a conversation individual and there's a number of users asking me dumb questions
13:22.59Xhoconversational
13:23.28OluapPlayerI have a list filled with people who never ask me anything
13:23.30OluapPlayeror talk at all
13:23.34Xhogud
13:23.49MonetI think it's common.
13:23.51Wormy_Go Adblock!  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/12/facebook_block_shock/
13:24.13MonetIntroverts I guess.
13:24.30Wormy_I only accept Steam friends from SporeWiki or RL (and I don't have many of those)
13:24.35OluapPlayerI'm not complaining, I'm not a conversational either
13:24.54XhoOluapPlayer: Imagine lots of random fanboys typing MeeM as a message to you and it's that level of annoying
13:25.20OluapPlayerur own fault for adding fanboys
13:25.37XhoI'm either on ZBrush or NMS and I get this message like "hur nightmare medic better watch out for this oc ripoff of nightmare medic"
13:25.47MonetWormy_: How dare Facebook try to support themselves on advertising money!
13:25.49XhoMan I couldn't care less whether they jammed their head in a door
13:25.52OluapPlayermedicine man of bad dreams
13:26.19XhoThey all seemed alright until a few days later
13:26.24XhoAnd then they're extremely annoying
13:26.44OluapPlayerOnly people on my friends list are those from this wiki, the TF2 Wiki or people I'm subbed to on YouTube
13:26.54OluapPlayerNever added subscribers since that never ends well
13:27.33XhoMore or less the same except for those fans
13:28.11OluapPlayerActually some days ago, one of my friends told me an Oluap fanboy had added him and begun throwing questions about me to him
13:28.16OluapPlayerHe was like "send help"
13:28.39Xho"does oluapplayer like meems"
13:29.00OluapPlayerno      he hates them
13:29.06XhoMost of mine are basically showing off random as fuck OCs
13:30.33Xhohttp://qwertydog17.deviantart.com/art/Demonic-Fistbumb-628076278 Oh here we go
13:30.42XhoI remember why I hate doing GMod videos now
13:31.13XhoWell I don't hate doing GMod videos
13:31.17XhoI hate the community that follows it
13:31.35OluapPlayerCouldn't even use the current NiiN
13:31.49XhoMainly because the model's not availble for public use
13:31.54XhoBecause I'm an asshat like that
13:32.16OluapPlayerThat's explained
13:32.22OluapPlayerdat pic is canon tho
13:32.51XhoTrue
13:33.32OluapPlayerNiiN and Nnngh's Amazing Oldschool Adventure
13:34.23XhoIf we want oldschool it would be BLU Nnnngh as a normal Sniper and NiiN as he was originally
13:34.35Xho"Demonic Adventures: DirectX 9 Edition"
13:35.11OluapPlayerDirectX 8.1
13:35.14OluapPlayerwe need to go older
13:35.55OluapPlayerBLU nnngh also has a giant head for no reason
13:36.32XhoNiiN isn't that old tho
13:37.09OluapPlayerBLU Nnngh - fukin kids with their HD textures
13:39.34XhoSo the video with Sentinel is actually going to be Sentinel vs MSG + CyborScout + CyborHeavy
13:40.14OluapPlayerSentinel vs my internet connection, he loses
13:40.28Xhodrat
13:40.48OluapPlayerAnnoying shit
13:41.36XhoFor shits and giggles I should just make a character called 'Annoying Shit' that prematurely ends videos
13:42.24OluapPlayerSentinel - now wait a min-         Annoying Shit - NO [video ends]
13:42.49OluapPlayer10/10 would unsub
13:42.54Xhogg
13:46.29XhoI remember seeing a concept for a character called Edgy Eddy who screams out "WAKE ME UP INSIDE" causing heads to explode

13:50.28Cyrannian~explode OluapPlayer
13:50.28infobotACTION blows up OluapPlayer with bombs
13:50.45CyrannianSo I've ordered a new graphics card, which should be enough to run No Man's Sky
13:50.49Xhoah
13:50.58XhoI was about to say that I found a fix for it
13:51.22CyrannianThe one I have was an integrated card, so I couldn't upgrade it
13:51.25Cyrannian*is
13:52.21CyrannianWhat was your fix?
13:53.40XhoOh
13:53.45XhoIt was updating a card
13:55.00CyrannianIt was probably about time anyway that I upgraded it, I've only ever used an integrated card but the tower I bought earlier in the year is customisable with a PCI express slot free
13:55.21OluapPlayerWhat's this new card?
13:55.57CyrannianNVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
13:56.26OluapPlayerAh
13:56.33OluapPlayerThat should be good
13:56.52CyrannianI'm utterly clueless about this sort of thing, so that's good to hear
13:57.11OluapPlayerWell mine is a 750 and it sucks for new games
13:57.17OluapPlayerAnd 960 > 750 so
13:57.43OluapPlayerI'm fairly clueless about it but the closer to 1080, the closer to top of the line
13:59.10CyrannianWasn't too expensive either, I just hope I can figure out how to install it
13:59.23XhoMine's a 770 so it's good but not great
13:59.39XhoOr is it a 780 hold on
13:59.59OluapPlayerInstalling a card is easy
14:00.09OluapPlayerJust put it on the slot and install its driver
14:00.36XhoMine is a 770
14:00.41XhoI'd ought to get a new one
14:00.57CyrannianBut since I have an integrated card, I'll need to figure out how to make sure the dedicated card is used
14:01.06OluapPlayerCurrent top of the line for NVIDIA is 1080
14:01.19Xhorite
14:01.22OluapPlayerI've never worked with an integrated card so I can't help with it
14:01.39OluapPlayerIntegrated things of any nature tend to be a pain
14:01.53OluapPlayerThey get damaged -> goodbye whole motherboard
14:02.29CyrannianThe one that I have must be pretty good as integraded cards go, since it's able to run games like Skyrim very smoothly (though I know it's an old game at this point)
14:02.33Cyrannian*integrated
14:02.54OluapPlayerI don't think Skyrim is a very graphics demanding game
14:03.22OluapPlayerDefinitely not by today's standards at least
14:04.19CyrannianThe one that I had before last year couldn't run it and could barely run things like STO and SWTOR
14:04.22Xho£660
14:04.28XhoBit of a stretch
14:04.34MonetYou guys use NVIDIA I sue AMD so can't really say anything.
14:05.22OluapPlayerYeah I don't know how AMD works
14:05.36CyrannianThe one I got is £164 (I got it up North, so yey partition and Brexit)
14:05.52MonetThe card I have can run Witcher and GTA pretty well.
14:07.11XhoI actually don't know what cards are compatible with my desktop in the first place
14:07.49*** join/#sporewiki Charles_Bot (uid94017@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-nunvcolvibgqnvlw)
14:08.20OluapPlayerAs far as I know all cards fit all PCs
14:08.31OluapPlayerGraphics at least
14:08.36OluapPlayerDefinitely not processors
14:08.53MonetThe video card socket is pretty universal.
14:09.29MonetAnd yeah I guess one good thing about 'it' is it makes exports much more affordable.
14:09.53Xhoeh might buy a 1080 come pay day then
14:10.02OluapPlayerBack when I worked we had one case of a guy who bought all the pieces of a PC at Paraguay for a discount and asked us to build the tower for him
14:10.15OluapPlayerTurned out the pieces were not compatible with the motherboard
14:10.58CyrannianAll I know is that I have a free PCI Express slot with sixteen thingies and apparently that's compatible with any graphics card
14:11.36OluapPlayerSo he had to buy a second motherboard in the end
14:11.53OluapPlayerThat's what you get for 1) buying without checking 2) buying from Paraguay
14:12.41CyrannianThat happened to me last year. I bought a graphics card from PC World which wasn't compatible with my motherboard. Luckily I got a refudn
14:13.24MonetMy experience of PC world staff is most of the attendants are clueless about PC hardware.
14:13.39OluapPlayerdat a big red flag
14:14.32*** join/#sporewiki Charles_Murray (32b8eef8@gateway/web/freenode/ip.50.184.238.248)
14:14.52CyrannianAye, I had the same experience with them
14:16.42MonetI went in one store down where I live, not a large one. I wanted a new video card and a) the attendant didn't know what to recommend and b) suggested I could get an all-in-one PC.

17:38.51OluapPlayer_I have goals, but they require other people who are always unavailable

18:28.59DrodoEmpireHi Quark
18:31.38Quark8I'm should be leaving for India today, though there's a sizable chance that it'll be full.
18:31.46Quark8I guess I'll have to wait and see.
18:32.08DrodoEmpireOh, alright
18:36.26Quark8What annoys me about these trips is that it takes me less time to get to Mumbai (where I'm landing) from the U.S. than to get from Mumbai to Kannur (where I'll be spending my trip), which is only around 670 miles away.
18:36.48Xhoeh
18:36.51DrodoEmpireHuh
18:41.31XhoWell the helmet design was going well then I ran into a problem with polygroups
18:41.42XhoFor some reason the model isn't polygrouping the way I want it to
18:44.27DrodoEmpireOh, huh

21:29.44DrodoEmpireI'll add relations, and expand on military a bit later
21:29.50DrodoEmpireAnd I'll need a flag or banner
21:38.05MonetCool
21:38.21MonetI can look a little later
21:38.26DrodoEmpireCool cool
21:41.01OluapPlayer_So that's what you were talking about
21:41.38DrodoEmpireYeah
21:41.47DrodoEmpireIts still a work in progress, particularly the military section
21:46.23HachimanHuh
21:46.27HachimanAn alien khanate
21:46.42DrodoEmpire^
21:46.53DrodoEmpireAn offshoot from the Drodo Empire- they basically packed up and left
21:49.17HachimanFair enough
21:49.43HachimanSo a bunch of militant, religious nationalist traditionalists
21:50.29DrodoEmpireEh, yeah
21:50.55DrodoEmpireWell, not really religious in that they're theocratic or dogmatic, more that they are nationalist to a religious extent
21:51.10XhoSo civil religions then
21:51.10DrodoEmpireThey *really* believe in the khanate, as a universal thing
21:51.15DrodoEmpirePretty much
21:51.16MonetGuarded
21:51.53ImperiosDrodoEmpire: FUCKING DLODO
21:51.58DrodoEmpireImportantly, they aren't above negotiations or pragmatism
21:51.58ImperiosBLEAKING MY SHITTY WARR
21:52.07DrodoEmpireayy lmao
21:54.14ImperiosI can make a flag or logo BTW
21:54.35DrodoEmpireThanks, though I already asked Charles >.<
21:54.36ImperiosDo you want some complex heraldic-esque symbol, or something simple, like an IRL Turko-Mongoliam tamga?
21:55.08DrodoEmpireNah, I asked Charles for a simple emblem, like IRL nomadic peoples
21:55.50ImperiosAlright
21:56.08DrodoEmpireThanks for the offer though
22:03.40MonetHmm...If Jun Urso is feminist propaganda, what does that make Vasquez?
22:06.23HachimanA stone-cold badass

22:10.25Xhohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU_Jdts5rL0
22:10.39HachimanShe's about as capable as the male marines - the fact she's a marine in herself as well as a woman is already pretty telling of how equal she stands

22:15.04DrodoEmpireAdded quotes as well
22:20.30ImpyDroidMonet: Talking about feminism in the movie industry is quite strange because many movie pioneers were women
22:21.04MonetWhat was it the NC compared the internet to? A raging alcoholic?
22:21.29ImpyDroidSay, Thea von Harbou or Leni Riefenstahl
22:22.10ImpyDroidThe former a scriptwriter, the latter a director of what is considered to be one of the best movies ever made
22:26.08ImpyDroidWhat caused a scandal this time?

22:28.10DrodoEmpireOh, thanks
22:28.18DrodoEmpireDo you mean the 'Key Relationships'?

22:45.38DrodoEmpire<.<
22:46.23HachimanMonet: That was kind of the point actually
22:46.32HachimanAliens is essentially a big metaphor for the Vietnam War
22:47.19HachimanAnd how the US military was fucked over by a technologically inferior group due to their own overconfidence and hubris and the unconventional tactics used by their enemies
22:47.35HachimanEven the vehicles are intended to be reminiscent of those used in Vietnam
22:47.43MonetI'm just past the lander crash
22:48.49Monet"They're coming out of the walls could easily involve trees"
22:53.09MonetYeah. The marines in the films - Hudson especially - weren't as committed as the enemy
22:53.13Wormy_http://imgur.com/gallery/0YY82Q7
22:53.22XhoHachiman: I'm imagining now that Vietnam is one giant landscape crafted by Giger
22:54.20MonetFor some marines it probably became that
22:55.22HachimanAye
22:55.36HachimanThe floor and trees around them could literally kill them at any moment
22:55.52HachimanAnd the Vietnamese were very good at keeping an eye on their attackers
22:57.49MonetAnd contact with home wasn't always relliable

23:02.38Quark8Hi.
23:02.53Wormy_http://i.imgur.com/zrx0Jya.jpg
23:02.55DrodoEmpireMight have to talk about Chalag swords on the page, because whynot
23:02.57DrodoEmpire*why not
23:03.37DrodoEmpireI imagine the two most popular are a sort of sabre, and the other maybe being an infantry sword resembling a Khanda
23:03.54DrodoEmpirehttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Rajput_Khanda.jpg/800px-Rajput_Khanda.jpg
23:04.12DrodoEmpireJust a flat-topped cleaver of a sword
23:04.31DrodoEmpireWormy_: lmao
23:04.49HachimanHonestly, khandas look like chainswords with the chainsaw part to me
23:04.50Wormy_http://i.imgur.com/Yrdi8TF.gifv
23:05.28Quark8lel
23:05.48DrodoEmpireHachiman: Yeah pretty much
23:05.57DrodoEmpireThough I'm not sold on chainswords anyway
23:06.24DrodoEmpireThey seem like they're really really topheavy and unwieldy, and don't really cut in the way swords're supposed to
23:06.49MonetSame - they're cool but I'd prefer a straight blade
23:07.02DrodoEmpireOr rather a blade in general
23:08.00The_Randomnesschainswords seem ridiculous to me
23:08.18HachimanI feel like the purpose of a chainsword is because it can keep consistent motion and penetration through the armour of xenos and other heavily-armoured combatants, although they are rather unwieldy depending on size - which is why most of them are wielded by superhuman demigods hur
23:08.25MonetBlood gristle and tissue could easily gum up the mechanisms
23:08.32HachimanThere is that
23:08.54DrodoEmpireHachiman: Yeah, that's an interesting idea I suppose
23:09.11DrodoEmpireI mean in *that* context they may be practical
23:09.26DrodoEmpireBut in most others- I'd sooner take a vibrosword
23:09.42HachimanVibroswords are ideal but the Imperium does not have access to those iirc
23:09.43DrodoEmpireIt can be wielded by anybody with the right training, and it'd cut through most armour seen
23:09.47DrodoEmpireYeah fair enough
23:09.58HachimanEldar do, although I have seen Eldar chainswords which are kinda eh
23:12.12MonetStriking Scorpions use them iirc
23:13.30HachimanyEAH
23:13.38HachimanHowling Banshees too I think, maybe
23:13.56HachimanOh no, they use actual swords
23:14.06*** join/#sporewiki Liquid_Ink (79d0cd9d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.121.208.205.157)
23:15.59Quark8Hello Liquid_Ink.
23:16.27Liquid_InkHey
23:17.26DrodoEmpireSo yeah, the Chalag are probably gonna have those two sorts of swords traditionally
23:18.02DrodoEmpireAnd carry vibrosword versions in to battle, being mostly a cavalry force (supported by artillery, aircraft, and non-Drodo infantry levies)
23:18.03Wormy_DrodoEmpire:  An English WW2 veteran stuck live ammunition up his bum to push up heamorrhoids, he had to be moved to a secure location with help freom the bomb squad to remove it as the shell could have exploded http://i.imgur.com/QYAVe5U.jpg
23:18.35DrodoEmpire...Jesus >.<
23:18.47DrodoEmpireThat's one way to treat hemorrhoids >.<
23:19.37The_Randomnesso_O
23:19.45DrodoEmpireNow I sorta want to write a character, or a story bit of a khanda-wielding nomad badass
23:20.13DrodoEmpirePerhaps a Jhik that's infamous for his love of close-combat
23:25.17HachimanMongol Don Quixote
23:25.27DrodoEmpireolol
23:25.59DrodoEmpireYeah perhaps he'd be a traditionalist among traditionalists- very much so someone who wants to go back to just pillaging everything and everyone in sight
23:26.32HachimanCould make for an interesting character for more personal and character-driven fiction
23:26.43DrodoEmpireNow he'd probably meet resistance from other Chalags (both because that's a bit crazy and that's a skewed view of history)- but he'd be well-respected for his leadership and skill
23:26.47DrodoEmpireYeah I think so
23:48.46Wormy_Missed the chainsword discussion, but when I did countryside management we had to check there was no old nails and other bits of metal in the wood.  If the chainsaw gets snagged on that it can send it flying or just break
23:49.08Wormy_So chainsword meeting armour is just a no no
23:49.43Wormy_But then a Space Marine is superstrong and covered in his own super armour so maybe its okay against a Tyrannid
23:49.48DrodoEmpireEeyeah, perhaps
