00:00.00 | DrodoEmpire_ | hur |
00:00.09 | OluapPlayer | *all the 'umies except my own |
00:00.33 | Hachiman | I can only imagine a 21st century human somehow ending up in the 2800s and just thinking "what the fuck happened and why did France win" |
00:01.03 | Monet | France is still fairly significant. |

00:02.35 | DrodoEmpire_ | Hi |
00:02.48 | Monet | I mean...I recall everyone here went full wat when I mentioned that rumor of hot dragon on baguette between Uriel and Maxime where as Uriel was more like "and people are buying this? Disappointing." |
00:02.53 | Monet | hi |
00:02.54 | Dinolion92 | Hi. I |
00:03.05 | DrodoEmpire_ | Monet: lol |
00:03.13 | OluapPlayer | I've done and seen worse |
00:03.14 | DrodoEmpire_ | I *so* wish the Klaxon came just a bit earlier XD |
00:03.41 | OluapPlayer | So Uriel getting on with a human doesn't really weird me out |
00:03.54 | DrodoEmpire_ | Ah hur |
00:04.03 | Hachiman | I mean |
00:04.06 | OluapPlayer | Other than the fact he'd be cheating on his wife |
00:04.18 | Hachiman | Consider that Kalcedia services a large number of Borealis' races |
00:04.19 | Monet | DrodoEmpire: Do it. Go retroactive for stories. |
00:04.25 | Dinolion92 | If you could pause time, what prank would you pull on the nearest person? |
00:04.26 | DrodoEmpire_ | I mean, French-Drodo, er, "relations" have gotten so far that there's an entire ethnic group of Franco-Drodo people |
00:04.35 | Hachiman | And then take a look at many of Borealis' races are weirdos hur |
00:04.39 | DrodoEmpire_ | olol |
00:04.52 | OluapPlayer | Kalcedia gets on with Krinkarut, ZÃ-Jittorám and Sska Akvii |
00:05.05 | DrodoEmpire_ | Dinolion92: dunno |
00:05.23 | OluapPlayer | DrodoEmpire_: i'd launch projectile vomit on the drodo if i culd |
00:05.28 | Dinolion92 | I would probably go to the nearest staircase, wait until someone got to the bottom, then pause time, and put them back on the top. |
00:05.28 | Hachiman | Dinolion92: Throw a bunch of kitchen knives at the nearest person and wait for time to restart |
00:05.29 | OluapPlayer | grosssss |
00:05.33 | Monet | Well Kalcedia doing it with random dudes is one thing. This is a married king on a president |
00:06.01 | DrodoEmpire_ | Build daddy's wall in freeze time and then start <.< |
00:06.06 | DrodoEmpire_ | TRUMP WINS |
00:06.14 | OluapPlayer | trump is shitty meme man |
00:06.22 | DrodoEmpire_ | hur |
00:06.23 | OluapPlayer | Also isn't What's her face dead? |
00:06.31 | DrodoEmpire_ | Who? |
00:06.36 | Hachiman | Maxime? |
00:06.37 | Monet | This was before she died. |
00:06.38 | OluapPlayer | The french woman |
00:06.40 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yeah she died |
00:06.51 | Hachiman | inb4 rumours of Uriel fucking her corpse |
00:07.09 | DrodoEmpire_ | Also yeah maybe nasti but not as nasti as Zazane-weird Borealis aliens |
00:07.12 | OluapPlayer | So you'd be writing bad things about a dead woman and a disappeared man |
00:07.13 | Hachiman | Kalcedia has probably done it with a couple or more of high-profile individuals around Borealis |
00:07.15 | Dinolion92 | Of all the empires on the fiction universe, what is your personal favorite? Mine is either the New Cyrannian Republic or the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus |
00:07.23 | Monet | Hachiman: Random Praetor - That's a good idea actually! |
00:07.25 | DrodoEmpire_ | Mine |
00:07.34 | DrodoEmpire_ | 'Cause I'm egotistical piece of shit |
00:07.34 | DrodoEmpire_ | :> |
00:07.37 | OluapPlayer | Xerkea - GET OFF MY DESK |
00:07.45 | Hachiman | Kalcedia - make me~ |
00:07.54 | OluapPlayer | gross |
00:07.57 | OluapPlayer | all of u |
00:08.00 | Monet | Xerkea - No, seriously get off my desk or you'll crush hit. |
00:08.13 | Dinolion92 | *Pushes Xerkea off desk* |
00:08.17 | DrodoEmpire_ | I mean at least Drodo and Humans share a similar size and anatomy <.< |
00:08.23 | OluapPlayer | Xerkea is 1) an elder 2) a fly |
00:08.36 | OluapPlayer | Niaka are not for sexual |
00:08.57 | Hachiman | Not yet |
00:09.01 | OluapPlayer | Granted flies don't have fur in real life |
00:09.05 | Hachiman | They have hairs |
00:09.14 | Hachiman | They're practically covered in hair |
00:09.15 | OluapPlayer | Hair, fur, same thing |
00:09.19 | Monet | Part of what makes them gross. |
00:09.24 | OluapPlayer | And I don't recall flies having hair |
00:09.32 | Hachiman | Yeah, flies have hair |
00:09.37 | OluapPlayer | Then again I don't spend my time looking at flies up close |
00:09.41 | Monet | I'd show a picture but flies make me puke. |
00:09.46 | Hachiman | Aye |
00:09.51 | OluapPlayer | yeah I'm not interested hur |
00:09.57 | Dinolion92 | I hate a certain type of fly, the others just annoy me |
00:10.02 | OluapPlayer | That makes the Niaka more like giant fly people than I anticipated |
00:10.24 | Monet | Fruitflies aren't *too* bad |
00:10.36 | Hachiman | I can just imagine the Councillors having a sort of ceremonial feast or something and then Xeron vomits on his meal like it's normal business |
00:10.38 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
00:10.38 | Dinolion92 | I am talking about botflies |
00:10.51 | Dinolion92 | Botflies give me the creeps |
00:10.54 | OluapPlayer | Xeron - what are you staring at |
00:11.15 | OluapPlayer | Niaka probably don't vomit on their food, no |
00:11.55 | Monet | Houseflies are bloated bags of filth and shit with who-knows-what swimming inside them. |
00:12.25 | OluapPlayer | I get reminded of ME3 when Javik claims salarians used to eat flies in his cycle |
00:12.31 | Hachiman | But flies vomiting their stomach acids on solid objects like food is how they eat, since it breaks down the solids and lets them suck it up |
00:12.34 | Dinolion92 | I agree, houseflies are dirty little fuckers |
00:12.46 | OluapPlayer | Yes but the Niaka are not flies |
00:12.47 | DrodoEmpire_ | Best description of a housefly I've heard >.< |
00:12.50 | Monet | Hachiman: Niaka have mandibles though. |
00:12.51 | OluapPlayer | They just vaguely look like flies |
00:12.57 | Hachiman | Ah yeah, mandibles |
00:13.14 | Dinolion92 | I am not insulting Niaka |
00:13.25 | Dinolion92 | I am not a speciesist |
00:13.25 | Hachiman | Fucking |
00:13.29 | Hachiman | I just looked up botfly |
00:13.38 | OluapPlayer | u fuked up |
00:13.39 | Hachiman | And the first results are larva removal from human skin |
00:13.45 | Hachiman | Fucking why |
00:13.52 | OluapPlayer | u fuked up¹²³ |
00:14.00 | Monet | I thank Top Gear for introducing me to the Botfly. |
00:14.20 | Dinolion92 | I read about them on the Cracked website's list of scariest bugs. |
00:14.26 | Hachiman | Why, because Clarkson's face looks like it has a larval infestation of its own 24/7? |
00:14.37 | OluapPlayer | Niaka should look much more pleasant to the eyes than actual flies |
00:14.43 | OluapPlayer | They also only have 4 limbs as opposed to 6 |
00:14.59 | Monet | Hachiman: No because on their trip to South America he used the description of a botfly as a bedtiem story for James and RIchard. |
00:15.06 | Hachiman | Ah |
00:15.12 | Hachiman | That doesn't surprise me hur |
00:15.23 | Dinolion92 | But botflies are nothing compared to a bug from nightmares, I swear, I would run like hell if I saw an Asian Giant Hornet |
00:15.44 | Hachiman | Aren't those the hornets that lay their eggs inside of tarantulas and shit |
00:16.14 | Dinolion92 | No, those are tarantula hawks, which are blue. Asian Giant Hornets, however, are worse. Thirty of them can wipe out a colony of bees in three hours |
00:16.15 | Hachiman | Oh wait, sorry that's the spider wasp |
00:16.20 | Hachiman | Tarantula hawk, even |
00:16.28 | OluapPlayer | Hornets are like wasps but angrier |
00:16.37 | Dinolion92 | Yeah, I learned that the hard way |
00:16.47 | Hachiman | I never encountered a hornet thankfully |
00:16.50 | OluapPlayer | And wasps are pretty fucking angry already |
00:17.19 | Hachiman | It is absurd to me that there is something out there that exists that can be considered as a larger and angrier cousin to the wasp |
00:17.31 | Dinolion92 | I accidentally stepped on a hornet when I was a kid. My foot hurt for hours! |
00:17.50 | Dinolion92 | I still get uneasy when I hear buzzing |
00:17.50 | Monet | Well wasps aren't that large. |
00:18.09 | Hachiman | Aren't hornets pretty fucking big though? |
00:18.13 | Dinolion92 | The asian giant hornet is the size of your thumb. *Shivers* |
00:18.26 | Monet | That's one big bug. |
00:20.14 | Monet | Still they're all specks compared to the bugs of the carboniferous period. |
00:20.26 | Monet | Now -those- were big. |
00:20.34 | Dinolion92 | Yeah, the biggest was the Arthropleura or something. Fucker was nine feet long! |
00:21.04 | OluapPlayer | >0.3â2.3 metre (1â7.5 feet) long millipede |
00:21.06 | DrodoEmpire_ | What nation should I play in EUIV |
00:21.07 | OluapPlayer | big fellow |
00:21.11 | DrodoEmpire_ | *? |
00:21.14 | The_Randomness | I'm surprised nobody's brought up mosquitoes yet. They're extremely annoying, and great at carrying some truly awful diseases |
00:21.35 | Dinolion92 | Mosquitoes are another thing I have to question why nature created |
00:21.41 | OluapPlayer | Mosquitos are bad but they don't have the disgusting factor of flies |
00:21.49 | The_Randomness | this is true |
00:21.56 | OluapPlayer | I can crush a mosquito between my palms but I'd not do the same to a fly |
00:21.59 | Hachiman | I dunno, pregnant mosquitoes are proper ech |
00:22.27 | Dinolion92 | One time, one of those giant beetles bumped into me |
00:22.38 | OluapPlayer | http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/a/arthropleura-size.jpg aa |
00:22.38 | Dinolion92 | I know they're harmless, but they're disgusting |
00:22.46 | Monet | OluapPLayer: I wouldn't crush a mosquito in my hand |
00:23.02 | OluapPlayer | I've done it countless times |
00:23.05 | Hachiman | Aren't centipedes and millipedes venomous? |
00:23.11 | OluapPlayer | Usually it's the only way you can get rid of them |
00:23.12 | Monet | If a mosquito is feeding, crushing the bug just rams its proboscis into your skin. |
00:23.12 | Dinolion92 | I would get a baseball bat and smash a fly with it! |
00:23.23 | OluapPlayer | Oh no I mean, flying mosquitos |
00:23.32 | Monet | Ah |
00:23.38 | OluapPlayer | I generally can't notice mosquitos biting me |
00:23.48 | Hachiman | Not many people can |
00:23.48 | Monet | Well you're probably more familiar with them than me |
00:24.00 | Hachiman | That's how they're so insidious |
00:24.11 | OluapPlayer | Yeah, hot weather = mosquitos |
00:24.12 | Dinolion92 | I don't really know much about mosquitoes. I hate bugs in general. |
00:24.13 | OluapPlayer | They love it |
00:24.25 | OluapPlayer | Summer is mosquito festival over here |
00:24.31 | Dinolion92 | If you're in the tropics, then you WILL get mosquitoes |
00:24.51 | OluapPlayer | I live in the tropics so yeah, plenty of experience |
00:24.52 | DrodoEmpire_ | What nation should I play in EUIV? |
00:24.58 | Hachiman | DrodoEmpire: Armenia |
00:25.06 | DrodoEmpire_ | Hmm... |
00:25.09 | Hachiman | j/k I've never played EUIV |
00:25.10 | DrodoEmpire_ | Not a bad idea |
00:25.19 | DrodoEmpire_ | Well it *could* work |
00:25.20 | OluapPlayer | Finland |
00:25.24 | OluapPlayer | Spend the game making Spurdo jokes |
00:25.32 | DrodoEmpire_ | Doesn't exist at 1444 I'm afraid |
00:25.38 | DrodoEmpire_ | (start date) |
00:25.39 | OluapPlayer | oh fug :ddd |
00:25.40 | Hachiman | Whoa what |
00:25.47 | DrodoEmpire_ | Hm? |
00:25.52 | Hachiman | Finland didn't exist in 1440s? |
00:25.58 | DrodoEmpire_ | Nope |
00:26.10 | DrodoEmpire_ | I'm fairly sure it was a pretty recent development actually |
00:26.15 | Hachiman | Huh |
00:26.16 | Dinolion92 | Has anyone played Empire Total War? I heard its like EU4 |
00:26.18 | Hachiman | What was it before? |
00:26.28 | Monet | Dinolion92: I have |
00:26.29 | DrodoEmpire_ | Part of the Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway |
00:26.32 | DrodoEmpire_ | And Novgorod |
00:26.45 | DrodoEmpire_ | I have play ETW |
00:27.00 | DrodoEmpire_ | Besides the general theme of imperialism, they're not very alike |
00:27.21 | Dinolion92 | I always play as Prussia or Britain. I can never hold onto France or Austria. Trust me, taking a region is just the beginning |
00:27.30 | DrodoEmpire_ | *played |
00:27.44 | DrodoEmpire_ | Total War is grand strategy in the same way that really cheap sugary juice is proper juice :p |
00:27.58 | DrodoEmpire_ | Not *really* |
00:28.01 | Monet | I was going to compare board games myself |
00:28.23 | DrodoEmpire_ | (Not to knock TW as I love the franchise, but their grand strategy's pretty simplistic) |
00:28.26 | Dinolion92 | I know. It is really watered down. Heck, no game can simulate war or conquest like in real life. Only if you lose in real life, you just lose |
00:28.39 | DrodoEmpire_ | EUIV does it better for sure |
00:28.44 | DrodoEmpire_ | And it has a wider time scope |
00:28.47 | DrodoEmpire_ | 1444-1821 |
00:28.55 | Monet | EUIV is chess or Risk, ETW is...hmm |
00:29.07 | Dinolion92 | Yeah, ETW just has 1700-1799 |
00:29.08 | Monet | Settlers of Catan, maybe? |
00:29.11 | DrodoEmpire_ | ETW's checkers or monopoly |
00:29.18 | Monet | I was thinking checkers |
00:29.22 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yeah |
00:29.40 | DrodoEmpire_ | I'd recommend it, but *buy it on sale* and prepare for a helluva learning curve |
00:29.41 | Dinolion92 | I mostly play ETW for the regular battles |
00:29.45 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yeah |
00:30.16 | Dinolion92 | I always outflank my enemy with my main force, while using a decoy to trap them, they never can beat me that way |
00:30.19 | Monet | Monopoly's technically not a game since the only way to play is play to lose or get bored and quit. |
00:30.25 | DrodoEmpire_ | True |
00:30.42 | DrodoEmpire_ | Its one of the less complicated Paradox Games (on a scale of like Stellaris-Hearts of Iron/Victoria in complexity) |
00:30.53 | DrodoEmpire_ | But its still crazy by comparison to TW |
00:31.20 | Dinolion92 | Imagine if there was a game that combined RTS, RPG, and MMOs. That sadly, is not really optimal today |
00:31.29 | Monet | ETW you play for the battles, EUIV you play for the grander scope. |
00:31.32 | DrodoEmpire_ | ^ |
00:31.35 | DrodoEmpire_ | Absolutely |
00:31.47 | DrodoEmpire_ | I'd definitely buy something like that |
00:31.53 | DrodoEmpire_ | I had an idea sorta like that |
00:31.56 | DrodoEmpire_ | DUnno how it'd do |
00:33.12 | Monet | EVE manages it a little bit. |
00:33.51 | DrodoEmpire_ | I suppos |
00:33.59 | DrodoEmpire_ | But EVE is... Well, EVE. |

12:10.16 | Hachiman | Hi |
12:11.08 | OluapPlayer | hi |
12:12.13 | NeonPanda | hi u |
12:12.34 | NeonPanda | kinda want to make an equivalent to Reinhardt in the wikiverse just cos |
12:13.16 | Hachiman | Huge, hammer-wielding paladin with a Don Quixote complex |
12:14.48 | NeonPanda | tbh he doesn't have a Don Quixote complex, he's just a happy guy |
12:15.14 | NeonPanda | reminds me of Braum |
12:17.52 | Hachiman | Eh, I feel like he has a Don Quixote complex; I remember there was a comic where he thought a bunch of gangsters were dragons or something |
12:18.27 | Hachiman | He is overwhelmingly happy though |
12:18.43 | Hachiman | Which is one of the reasons I main him <3 |
12:20.35 | NeonPanda | you're a dumb Hachi, the bandits are called "the Dragons" |
12:21.42 | Hachiman | Yes, and there are panels where suddenly the Dragons have turned into actual dragons |
12:21.50 | Hachiman | From Reinhardt's POV |
12:22.53 | NeonPanda | he doesn't actually think he's fighting dragons you silly |
12:23.31 | NeonPanda | anyway, point stand |
12:23.33 | NeonPanda | s |
12:30.46 | NeonPanda | now that I think of it, is it actually a Don Quixote if he comes from a whole order of people exactly like him, who are still active today? |
12:32.28 | Hachiman | Hm |
12:32.32 | Hachiman | That's a fairly good point |
12:32.53 | Hachiman | But then, what is to say it's not an order of people with Don Quixote complexes |
12:33.29 | NeonPanda | because the whole thing of Don Quixote is he's post-chivalry but trying to be chivalrous, whereas these guys are basically right in the middle of chivalry |
12:34.00 | Hachiman | Hm that's a good point |
12:35.23 | NeonPanda | and Quixote isn't actually a knight, whereas these guys are part of the German military |
12:39.47 | NeonPanda | btw, proof he doesn't actually think he's fighting dragons: the "POV" shows dragon dudes with spears and maces, but he still puts up his shield to deflect gunfire- basically he's just embellishing it in his head at most |
12:39.58 | Hachiman | Ah right |
12:40.03 | Hachiman | Yeah that makes sense |
12:40.20 | NeonPanda | which is fair enough, cos if you're fighting people called the Dragons you might as well pretend you're fighting dragon people- hell I'd do that XD |
12:40.28 | Hachiman | hur |
12:40.33 | Hachiman | I'm still wondering how he got beat up at first |
12:40.36 | Hachiman | Like, Reinhardt is huge |
12:40.47 | NeonPanda | he's also old, and he got cheap-shot |
12:41.00 | Hachiman | Ah |
12:41.01 | NeonPanda | I mean that guy can pull his back out on demand, so not that surprising |
12:41.29 | Hachiman | ImpyDroid: You there? I need naming suggestions for Sylit stuff |
12:42.15 | Hachiman | I get reminded of this rumour that apparently, when more heroes get included into the roster, that Blizzard would 'retire' some heroes from play |
12:42.29 | Hachiman | Or rather, that the option to do that isn't off the table |
12:42.31 | NeonPanda | doubtful |
12:42.43 | NeonPanda | I mean they have the option but I can't think of any good reason to do it |
12:42.51 | Hachiman | Yeah |
12:43.03 | NeonPanda | barring of course them creating a new character who fills exactly the same niche as the old one, which is idiocy |
12:43.45 | Hachiman | I just wish they'd hurry up and release Sombra already |
12:43.54 | Hachiman | Rather than continuing with this ARG business |
12:44.00 | NeonPanda | part of me wants them to never release him/her |
12:44.15 | NeonPanda | but that part of me is also a sadistic prick, so probably shouldn't listen to that part |
12:44.20 | Hachiman | hur |
12:45.18 | NeonPanda | I still just laughed at all the people who were like "the stealth detection lines don't say sombra so sombra can make others invisible!!!!!!!!" when it's just standard practice so they can make more stealth heroes in the future |
12:46.20 | Hachiman | Sombra making others invisible would be OP for characters like Bastion |
12:48.12 | NeonPanda | they could do it, it'd make Hanzo and Widowmaker immediately spike in popularity, but I just don't really see something like that working out that well |
12:49.11 | NeonPanda | like, I can't really think of any character who'd benefit excessively from stealth unless it was their whole thing |
12:50.56 | Hachiman | Also can we agree that Reaper isn't as edgy as memes make him out to be hur |
12:51.13 | NeonPanda | he's exactly as edgy as the memes make him out to be, what are you on about? |
12:54.08 | Hachiman | I don't find him ridiculously edgy; like yeah he's got edge and the thing about him regaining HP via eating souls is a bit dumb, but he's not like say some original character than a 12 year old first thought of |
12:54.20 | Hachiman | that* |
12:54.36 | OluapPlayer | Funnier to say that he is |
12:54.39 | OluapPlayer | use ur brain |
12:54.52 | Hachiman | fuk off u dunt even play overwatch |
12:54.53 | NeonPanda | iunno, his hero select dialogue is "DEATH WALKS AMONG YOU," he called his shotguns Hellfire, his backstory is completely edgy OC |
12:55.09 | NeonPanda | like, the only thing not edgy about him is his mariachi skin, which is AMAZING |
12:55.12 | OluapPlayer | I don't need to play the game to know Reaper is an edgelord |
12:56.30 | OluapPlayer | In fact Reaper being an edgelord is the only thing I know about the game hur |
12:56.50 | Hachiman | You also know about some of the girls being waifu material |
12:57.06 | NeonPanda | and mei being satan |
12:57.09 | OluapPlayer | That's not really specific |
12:57.27 | OluapPlayer | I don't know Mei other than people call her fat all the time |
12:57.30 | Hachiman | Mei is a fucking cunt and people who main her deserve to die |
12:57.49 | NeonPanda | hell froze over when Mei took over |
12:58.11 | Hachiman | Also I'm still not sure whether Mei is actually fat or not |
12:58.22 | NeonPanda | prettymuch |
12:58.27 | Hachiman | Art shows that she's not but her model shows that she is |
12:58.34 | NeonPanda | like she's not pot belly fat but she's chubby |
12:58.39 | Hachiman | Yeah |
12:59.14 | Hachiman | Also, I like the Mariachi skin because it's like the only thing that reminds me that Reaper is supposed to be Mexican since he doesn't carry an accent or speak the language like the other heroes |
12:59.48 | NeonPanda | > when you realise Reaper is actually crawling in his skin, and his wounds actually will not heal |
12:59.54 | Hachiman | olol |
13:00.55 | NeonPanda | I just love the fact that it changes DIE DIE DIE into MORIR MORIR MORIR |
13:02.01 | *** join/#sporewiki Imperios (~Imperios@95.140.92.124) |
13:02.53 | Hachiman | Hi Imp |
13:03.29 | Hachiman | It still bothers me that Blizzard doesn't know how to make Tracer convincingly British even though her VA is actually British |
13:04.02 | NeonPanda | god I hate tracer |
13:04.25 | NeonPanda | every single tracer main has the "Do you ever get that feeling of deja vous?" voice line and it pisses me off |
13:04.48 | NeonPanda | wait got my languages mixed up |
13:05.01 | NeonPanda | vous is french |
13:05.19 | NeonPanda | still french* but not the right one |
13:05.28 | Hachiman | I was gonna say, it's still French hur |
13:06.11 | NeonPanda | what I meant to say was vous is still french, but it's the wrong vu |
13:07.18 | NeonPanda | good thing Charles isn't here, might have broken him for a bit |
13:07.34 | Hachiman | But yeah, for me, Tracer is the most annoying character in regards to her personality, her voice, and her playstyle |
13:07.49 | NeonPanda | I don't mind Tracer's playstyle or personality, her voice is just grating |
13:08.05 | NeonPanda | for Mei it's her playstyle and her voice, her personality is fine |
13:10.15 | NeonPanda | the sad thing is, there's actually a couple of situations where I really like having a Mei |
13:10.48 | Hachiman | Mei is undoubtedly useful and I feel there are ways to make her less bullshit |
13:11.57 | NeonPanda | the problem is her kit is designed around you don't get to have fun |
13:12.26 | NeonPanda | she's the one character that I honestly don't feel is healthy for the game environment, mainly cos I don't see what niche she fills beyond "make the enemy hate life" |
13:13.04 | Hachiman | Yeah |
13:13.23 | Hachiman | Imperios: You there? I need naming suggestions for Sylit stuff |
13:13.50 | Imperios | Hm? |
13:14.02 | NeonPanda | like, the one time I really like her is Hamanura defence, point A, where she can get Bastion up to the sniper window for added evil :P |
13:14.40 | Hachiman | Imperios: I need names for the Sylit equivalent of Marines; I'd use Firebrands but I already reserved that name for something else |
13:14.51 | Imperios | Hm |
13:15.32 | Imperios | Marines as in specifically marines or just their elite military forces |
13:16.20 | Hachiman | Elites I suppose |
13:17.04 | Hachiman | Oh and I also need a name for their army |
13:17.20 | Hachiman | Supreme Fleet is the name for their navy based on what Falco wrote |
13:18.11 | NeonPanda | quest to murder guy, forced to talk to guy before murdering |
13:18.13 | NeonPanda | make your mind up game |

14:05.19 | Imperios | It kind of struck me that almost all of your fiction has fancy army names, let this be an exception hur |
14:05.57 | Imperios | Or for it to be a little bit less generic |
14:06.09 | Imperios | Veatrex Imperatorial Armed Forces |
14:06.16 | dino82_ | hi |
14:06.17 | Imperios | https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/imperatorial THis is a word |
14:07.11 | Hachiman | Hm makes sense |
14:07.13 | OluapPlayer | Hi dino |
14:07.17 | Hachiman | Hi Dino |
14:07.34 | Hachiman | I dunno if Imperatorial works though cus it's a federation, not an empire |
14:07.35 | Imperios | As for the elites |
14:07.42 | Imperios | It has an emperor |
14:07.44 | Imperios | Doesn't it? |
14:07.53 | Imperios | I could swear it did |
14:08.18 | Imperios | AS for the name of the marines, since we are going for a Zoroastrian theme, Immortals |
14:08.32 | Hachiman | Emperor does not rule the entire UVF; he rules the Sylits and has sway in a senate |
14:08.55 | Hachiman | A senate consisting of other racial leaders and representatives |
14:10.09 | Hachiman | And Immortals sounds good |
14:10.21 | Imperios | Federal Armed Forces then duh |
14:10.26 | Hachiman | rite |
14:10.29 | Imperios | Veatrex Federal Armed Forces |
14:10.32 | Imperios | VFAF |
14:10.38 | Hachiman | faf |
14:10.58 | dino82_ | Howz alld oing! |
14:11.49 | Hachiman | Also, Imp |
14:12.02 | Hachiman | Can you please come up with a name that sounds a little better than Woomus for Rambanda's moon hur |
14:12.12 | OluapPlayer | woomy |
14:12.17 | NeonPanda | woona clearly |
14:17.01 | Imperios | Woomus |
14:17.02 | Imperios | Hmm |
14:17.09 | Imperios | LEt's take that and whack that somehow |
14:18.18 | Imperios | Usman |
14:18.45 | Hachiman | Us, man |
14:18.57 | Hachiman | Usman sounds good tho |
14:20.32 | Imperios | More like a reference to the Ottomans |
14:20.34 | Imperios | Ottoman |
14:20.39 | Imperios | Or "Osman", in Turkish |
14:20.40 | Imperios | Osman |
14:20.41 | Imperios | Moon |
14:20.42 | Hachiman | Ah right |
14:20.46 | Imperios | Crescent |
14:20.47 | Hachiman | Yeah, that definitely fits |
14:27.55 | Hachiman | Actually I might switch Firebrand and Immortal around |
14:28.09 | Hachiman | And let Immortals be the things I was originally reserving the Firebrand term for |
14:28.28 | Hachiman | So psychically and physically augmented and enhanced soldiers / warriors like Cycklos are Immortals |
14:29.02 | NeonPanda | complete with reinforcements being constantly brought in so it looks like none of them truly die |

15:02.44 | Manifestation | Oh, hello |
15:02.49 | Quark8 | Hello. |
15:03.12 | Manifestation | I was just trying to figure out how to fix freedom cheat, cuz' it's supposed to allow u to go beyond the complexity meter, right? |
15:05.15 | Manifestation | .....right? |
15:06.17 | Hachiman | Yes |
15:06.28 | Manifestation | Well it's not. |
15:06.35 | Manifestation | so does anyone know how to fix it? |
15:06.45 | Quark8 | How does one cheat in Spore? |
15:07.01 | Manifestation | U do Ctrl Shift C |
15:07.10 | Manifestation | press and hold in order |
15:08.15 | Manifestation | if u type 'help' in the cheat console after pressing Ctrl + Shift + C, it shows all the cheats. |
15:09.22 | Manifestation | So, anyway, my freedom cheat doesn't work, so anyone know how to fix it? |
15:09.51 | Quark8 | Nope. |
15:10.05 | Manifestation | Cuz' I thought it was strange |
15:10.18 | Manifestation | I had bot parts the first time I used Freedom cheat. |
15:10.56 | Hachiman | I dunno |
15:11.01 | Quark8 | I would suggest Googling the answer. |
15:11.04 | Hachiman | If your cheats aren't working, then your game's bugged |
15:11.12 | Manifestation | All but freedom works |
15:11.15 | Manifestation | adddna works |
15:11.18 | Manifestation | moremoney works |
15:11.24 | Manifestation | unlocksuperweapons works |
15:11.37 | Manifestation | even adventurelook works |
15:12.12 | Manifestation | well, actually, adventurelook is a tiny bit bugged, but after exiting and re-entering adventure, the cheat works. |
15:12.58 | Manifestation | and yes, I did exit and reenter thing for the creature creator as well, still didn't work. |
15:14.01 | Ghelae | Have you tried installing a mod that gives you extra complexity instead? |
15:14.23 | Manifestation | u mean like no complexity meter dark injection? |
15:14.26 | Manifestation | version? |
15:14.53 | Manifestation | That would work, but I was getting new computer soon. |
15:15.19 | Manifestation | I thought I might install DI after getting that 1. |
15:17.30 | Manifestation | I also heard a new FNAF came out. |
15:17.34 | Ghelae | That is an example, but there are probably smaller mods too if you don't want to download DI. |
15:17.43 | Manifestation | I do want DI |
15:17.47 | Manifestation | just not on this computer |
15:17.55 | Ghelae | That's what I mean. |
15:18.14 | Manifestation | I also heard a new FNAF came out. |
15:18.58 | Manifestation | anyone know what it's called? |
15:19.02 | Quark8 | We have heard as well. Twice. |
15:20.12 | Manifestation | Sister Location, is that what it's called? |

16:38.26 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah maybe a bit |
16:38.49 | Monet | Deadpool's funny, but there is a thing as trying too hard to be Deadpool. |
16:39.46 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
16:42.57 | Monet | Maybe the issue here is Deadpool references *everything* |
16:43.59 | Monet | Phase Hunter seems to mainly talk about how great he is or Queen most of the time. |
16:44.58 | Xho | Nu - http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/003/304/Ben-mitchel-YOU-NEED-SLAPPING-DOWN.jpg |
16:45.10 | DrodoEmpire | ayy lmao |
16:45.12 | DrodoEmpire | And yeah perhaps |
16:45.26 | Monet | In Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Deadpool's jokes include "I charge stupid people" "oh yeah if I die my price doubles" "I'm killing you because you interrupted the cherry-blossom festival" and "Hey wen we meet [Russian] Titanium Man, let's get him to say "Moose and Squirrel" |
16:46.13 | Xho | egad |
16:47.54 | Monet | I can message Zilla. |
16:48.05 | Monet | The last tiem we talked fiction behind his back he got -really- mad |
16:48.48 | Hachiman | lol his problem |
16:49.08 | Hachiman | His fiction is bad to mediocre and Phase-Hunter is one of the worst things I think we have that is still active here |
16:49.24 | Monet | Also I used to play Champions Online, which suffered a Deadpool plague. |
16:49.43 | Hachiman | I don't even like Deadpool though so |
16:49.48 | Hachiman | I find him immensely grating and irritating |
16:50.02 | NeonPanda | anyone else just imagining a disease that makes people act like deadpool when Monet said deadpool plague? |
16:50.11 | Hachiman | hur |
16:50.13 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
16:50.17 | Monet | NeonPanda: You're close. |
16:50.52 | Monet | I swear every third guy and his dog on SUperhero MMOs tries making a Deadpool clone which most of the time is basically a wisecracking ninja with twin-swords. |
16:52.32 | NeonPanda | not too surprising, that one LotR game I played taught me just how many ways you can spell "Legolas" without actually spelling Legolas |
16:53.34 | DrodoEmpire | lul |
16:53.52 | Monet | I remember that game. |
16:54.37 | Monet | This is probably what some MMOs have tapped into by giving you a MOBA-style roster. |

17:38.49 | Xho | All for 1836 |
17:42.57 | Charles_Bot | For gaming, so much overkill |
17:43.05 | Xho | my middle name is overkill |
17:43.06 | Charles_Bot | You do a lot of rendering work, though? |
17:43.15 | Xho | I do |
17:43.31 | Charles_Bot | Alright. That seems like a smashing deal then |
17:44.26 | Xho | I could go mental and up the RAM even further but 32GB is big enough |
17:49.15 | Xho | God how do I adjust the brightness on this monitor |
17:49.28 | dino82_ | :d |
17:50.25 | Xho | Ah figured it out |

18:09.42 | Xho | I guess |

18:15.36 | Xho | Huh well |
18:15.56 | Xho | Tallok Nal, Enaphros, Asilapheos and Nijusisumarec form a square |

18:49.57 | Xho | Hi |
18:50.17 | Xho | Black Sun Devices are probably dormant power sources in their megaconstructs so there's a good number of them lying about |
18:52.18 | Xho | Given the right psychopath it could be put into a superweapon and it would be ultra destructive |
18:54.26 | Xho | So Schism races are on a hunt for them both to solve their energy crisis and for the fact that it could be used to destroy anyone else trying |
18:58.34 | Hachiman | NeonPanda: https://scontent-ams3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14141652_1088612117883669_7961880983847415102_n.jpg?oh=42a27918aeb7c8bf34f8e591b3ce9fb6&oe=584481A6 Mei's getting a spin-off |

19:02.31 | OluapPlayer | Don't know what to do |
19:02.38 | Xho | halp with tuuros pls |
19:02.40 | OluapPlayer | Want to work on the wiki but I've nothing pending |
19:02.45 | OluapPlayer | I've no ideas for that |
19:02.51 | Xho | make random creatures go |
19:02.56 | DrodoEmpire | They pretty much have to be, given the nature of the Empire |
19:03.08 | OluapPlayer | projectile vomit on u hao bout dat |
19:03.27 | Xho | not gud |
19:03.34 | DrodoEmpire | To make the government too big or powerful would upset *many* people |
19:03.41 | OluapPlayer | Sure I can make random creatures but you need more than that to put them in a galaxy |
19:03.48 | DrodoEmpire | If it helps, the Aristocratic Party under Jivirik *was* authoritarian |
19:04.08 | DrodoEmpire | Before reverting back to its original agenda, more or less |
19:04.27 | Xho | OluapPlayer: come up wit random shit den |
19:04.35 | OluapPlayer | I feel like if I just do "dey a race of big strong warriors" etc would come off as generic |
19:04.50 | Xho | Vranntan tho |
19:05.06 | Xho | How about |
19:05.10 | OluapPlayer | That was an example |
19:05.12 | Luxor | Burned worlds |
19:05.19 | Luxor | that's enough of an example |
19:05.26 | OluapPlayer | "big strong warrior", "super smart scientist", etc etc |
19:05.33 | OluapPlayer | Too simple to be a good contribution |
19:05.34 | Luxor | When I think about Tuuros I imagine dozens of burned worlds |
19:05.45 | Xho | Well the Vranntan are smart but just assholes |
19:05.47 | Luxor | and civilizations struggling to thrive |
19:06.26 | Xho | Make a precursor race then |
19:06.33 | Luxor | Consider interstellar civilization which went nearly extinct after nuclear civil war |
19:06.48 | Luxor | I'll try to do base creature for that tomorrow, yet in evening |
19:07.00 | Luxor | the story still sits in the head |
19:07.14 | OluapPlayer | I would contribute with something, I just need a worthy idea |
19:07.25 | OluapPlayer | Them being dead wouldn't make them easier to write about hur |
19:07.29 | Xho | I mean everyone's welcome to colonise Tuuros if they want to |
19:07.34 | OluapPlayer | Also that'd be stealing the Zhuhuhuhuhu's thunder |
19:07.45 | Xho | The Zhulultu died out 1.5 billion years ago |
19:08.00 | Xho | There's still another 1.5 billion years worth of precursor civs |
19:08.16 | OluapPlayer | u get wat i mean dont b cheeki breeki |
19:08.39 | Luxor | i v damke |
19:08.44 | Xho | Zhulultu - cheeki breeki device makes everyone break their spines |
19:08.59 | OluapPlayer | The Squatting Sun |
19:09.04 | OluapPlayer | I'll see if I can think of something |
19:09.20 | Xho | It's a rare time when Xho nags OluapPlayer and not the other way around |
19:09.33 | OluapPlayer | One thing I want to know is how influential the Xhodominion is in Tuuros |
19:09.40 | Xho | Not very influential |
19:09.41 | OluapPlayer | Depending of how much I could move the Zua-Zaoi there |
19:09.56 | Xho | The Dominion will suffer the Schism as well |
19:10.02 | OluapPlayer | dat somewhat strange |
19:10.22 | Xho | There'd only be a select few strong enough to survive in it |
19:10.42 | OluapPlayer | Tuuros was the Congregation's home and the Dominion is the Congregatio 2: Electric Boogaloo |
19:11.00 | Xho | Zhuleshxi - no boogaloo eet deemun |
19:11.08 | OluapPlayer | You'd expect there to inhabit the galaxy |
19:11.13 | OluapPlayer | them* |
19:11.31 | Xho | The Dominion could inhabit the Schism but it won't be any more forgiving to them |
19:11.37 | Luxor | I'd say there are more nebulas in Tuuros than habitable planets hur |
19:11.48 | Xho | The Zhulultu's legacy is indiscriminate in its assholery |
19:12.00 | OluapPlayer | If the Schism is so bad the Dominion can't inhabit it, just colonize the non-Schism part doi |
19:12.14 | Xho | well exactly |
19:12.36 | Xho | Zhuleshxi was a servant of Angazhar, anything Angazhar related that gets left to be free basically grows into a death zone |
19:13.03 | OluapPlayer | Krath - look what you did you STUPID Angazhar - ur just jelus yellow boi |
19:13.26 | Xho | Most of the darker religions in Tuuros would probably claim that the galaxy still belongs to Angazhar |
19:13.33 | OluapPlayer | Actually this got me an idea of something I could use in Tuuros |
19:13.36 | Xho | Although Angazhar gives as much as a fuck about it as the rest of the universe |
19:14.57 | OluapPlayer | Back when you were working on the Dominion, you offered me a Xhodocto character which I refused because I couldn't think of a place to use it |
19:15.03 | OluapPlayer | Tuuros is one opportunity for that |
19:15.28 | Xho | yuy |
19:15.33 | Xho | I forget which one that was |
19:15.46 | OluapPlayer | The white one |
19:16.01 | Xho | Sethzak |
19:16.03 | OluapPlayer | racistjoke.wav |
19:16.05 | Imperios | Hachiman: https://pp.vk.me/c543105/v543105346/1c7b3/uyhgKj7trto.jpg The truth behind Apocalypse |
19:16.06 | OluapPlayer | That one |
19:16.53 | OluapPlayer | We can say he's gone to Tuuros in order to establish a foothold for the Dominion there |
19:17.02 | Xho | In the more updated canon the other Xhodocto are manifestations of the greater Xhodocto so I'm wondering which one Sethzak would be a part of |
19:17.37 | Xho | Considering he's a tormenting asshole probably Angazhar |
19:17.51 | Imperios | Xho: https://pp.vk.me/c543105/v543105346/1a886/CFu6dEVQxiI.jpg |
19:18.00 | Xho | egad |
19:18.06 | Imperios | Xho: He was supposed to be a priest-mage-kind of guy |
19:18.10 | OluapPlayer | A manifestation of Angazhar would probably be interested in the races of the Schism |
19:18.21 | Imperios | priest kind of lends itself to Draguros or Krath |
19:18.25 | Imperios | ACTUALLY |
19:18.33 | Imperios | What if Sethzak helped lead the Renaissance |
19:18.45 | OluapPlayer | I don't want involvement with that |
19:19.09 | Xho | I dunno any of the Xhodocto fit but he's listed as Chaotic Evil on his page so that implies Santorakh or Angazhar |
19:19.28 | OluapPlayer | He has a page? |
19:19.35 | Xho | It's empty but yes |
19:20.11 | OluapPlayer | if his page is empty then he could be anything since he's effectively reset from zero |
19:20.21 | Xho | Santorakh - cheese block |
19:20.41 | OluapPlayer | Sethzak - except that |

19:21.52 | OluapPlayer | We can go for whatever you think fits best |
19:21.55 | Xho | Santorakh as a general rule is extremely unlikely to take on a lesser persona or have a lesser manifestation so it's pointing much more towards Angazhar |
19:22.22 | OluapPlayer | Wouldn't a manifestation of Angazhar be inclined to just destroy everything ever though |
19:22.25 | OluapPlayer | That's my main concern |
19:22.39 | Xho | Not necessarily |
19:23.09 | Xho | Could technically use the lesser manifestations as intermediaries between the main four |
19:23.20 | Imperios | Why not Krath though? |
19:23.35 | Imperios | Or Drag? |
19:23.50 | Xho | Draguros isn't interested, Draguros is never interested |
19:24.28 | Hachiman | Perhaps Sethzak just encompasses one aspect of Angazhar's personality rather than all of it |
19:24.34 | Hachiman | One or two, even |
19:24.44 | OluapPlayer | Draguros - yes no maybe |
19:25.02 | Xho | It's hard to justify the lesser Xhodocto now that only four are meant to actually be |
19:25.23 | Xho | The lesser lot are probably personalities of the greater four |
19:25.31 | OluapPlayer | Well Shu'wokerama is a manifestation of Shu'rimrodir and he's still around |
19:26.21 | OluapPlayer | >tfw Dhazhrak is a manifestation of Santorakh's crossdressing tendencies |
19:26.44 | Xho | Santorakh - not impossible |
19:27.02 | Xho | Dhazhrak is most likely Santorakh though |
19:27.24 | Xho | There's a lot of persistence and theatricality in Dhazhrak that there is in Santorakh |
19:29.28 | OluapPlayer | Still with Sethzak I can make like a race of servants whose objective is 'recruiting' Schism races into the Dominion |
19:30.29 | Xho | Sethzak - eet demun Schism Race - already did but alright |
19:33.46 | OluapPlayer | So that's one thing I can do |
19:34.01 | OluapPlayer | I'd say I need the Xhodocto model but you wouldn't have it right now |
19:34.02 | OluapPlayer | So fug |
19:35.05 | Imperios | Is Sethzak still white? |
19:35.15 | Xho | Heck I dunno |
19:35.32 | Xho | OluapPlayer: Chances are I'll never have it again at this rate |
19:35.32 | Imperios | I originally envisioned him as a skeleton I think |
19:35.52 | Xho | He wouldn't appear as a greater Xhodocto anyway |
19:35.59 | Hachiman | Isn't there a Xhodocto png |
19:36.04 | Xho | Possibly, not sure |
19:36.15 | OluapPlayer | Xho never uploads PNGs of his creatures |
19:36.20 | OluapPlayer | because he's a terrible human bean |
19:37.57 | OluapPlayer | Even if he doesn't appear as a greater Xhodocto surely he'd have a Tandava body at least |
19:38.41 | Xho | Yeah |
19:38.46 | Xho | I need to redo the Tandava body |

20:27.11 | Monet | Perhaps. |
20:27.44 | DrodoEmpire | Or a look at Drodo clan structure |
20:33.42 | Imperios | Monet Xho: Been reading up on British history for our English course recently |
20:33.55 | Imperios | The fuck |
20:34.00 | Imperios | The UK's foundations were laid up by a Scot? |
20:34.49 | Monet | James the VI of Scotland and I of England. |
20:35.03 | Imperios | Yes him |
20:35.12 | Imperios | That's probably basic knowledge for you but I found that surprising |
20:35.52 | Monet | Well he was related by blood to the Tudors. |
20:37.35 | Xho | SCOOTLAND |
20:38.40 | Imperios | Monet: So... basically Scots are trying to secede from the very kingdom they created? |
20:38.59 | Monet | Well the union wasn't perfect. |
20:39.01 | drom | Monet: Investigating mysterious cases |
20:39.10 | Imperios | Well then again you aren't unique in that case |
20:39.18 | Imperios | Ukraine was once the heartland of the Russian state |
20:39.18 | drom | I mean, like researching at a certain thing and then make a theory for it |
20:39.20 | Monet | This was before the Jacobite rebellion. |

20:42.59 | Monet | One of Charles I's goofups that led to the English Civil War was an attempt to spread Catholicism |
20:43.26 | Monet | Scotland, by the time of union, I think was fairly protestant. |
20:46.54 | Imperios | >One of Charles I's goofups |
20:46.57 | Imperios | For a second I meant our Charles |
20:47.04 | Imperios | It is Presbyterian right? |
20:47.07 | Imperios | Sctoaldn that is |
21:03.49 | Imperios | Cotland even |
21:08.59 | Monet | Not sure. |
21:09.18 | Monet | on the exact denomination |
21:09.51 | Monet | Ireland is really the only part of the British Isles where the Catholic population is significant. |
21:10.29 | Imperios | What denomination does Wales belong to? |
21:17.12 | Monet | Church of England. |
21:18.45 | Monet | Though they might have their own denomination. |
21:19.48 | Monet | Wales has a long history of just being forgotten or treated as England's little brother honestly. |
21:20.49 | Monet | I think it's technically a vassal state, the highest royal authority for some 7-800 years was the prince of wales. |
21:21.35 | Monet | Something of a compromise for Welsh loyalty when it was conquered by England. |
21:26.31 | Quark8 | They have their own denomination, the Church in Wales: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_in_Wales. |
21:26.41 | Quark8 | *Wales has its |

21:53.46 | DrodoEmpire | What're these appreciation things? |
21:55.44 | Hachiman | Fecal |
21:55.51 | Quark8 | It's a nice work! thing in the history section of each page. |
21:56.00 | Hachiman | Also what |
21:57.54 | DrodoEmpire | Quark8: Huh |
21:58.48 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, found it |
21:59.11 | DrodoEmpire | I joined wikia when talk pages were still a thing damnit |
21:59.24 | Quark8 | Talk pages? |
21:59.25 | DrodoEmpire | These newfangled gimmicks are weird |
21:59.29 | DrodoEmpire | Exactly |
22:00.55 | Quark8 | Speaking of stuff, what happened to blog posts? |
22:01.05 | DrodoEmpire | They were done away with by us |
22:01.20 | DrodoEmpire | We figured they were redundant when the forum and message walls exist |
22:05.21 | Quark8 | Ah. |
22:13.43 | Quark8 | Huh. It's been so long since I've been to the temple that I've forgotten that the majority of it is praying in front of statues with elephant heads or letting shirtless guys with man-boobs and (IMO) creepy face-paint put a little cone on your head and dump milk on your hair :|. |
22:15.18 | Quark8 | Personally, I found the experience a little odd and strange, though I still disagree when people call us Hindus creepy pagans who write sex position books (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kama_Sutra). |
22:16.40 | DrodoEmpire | Nah, I don't have anything against Hinduism |
22:16.51 | Monet | Considering Hinduism a pagan faith sounds offensive. |
22:17.06 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno, are you a pagan Monet? |
22:17.14 | DrodoEmpire | Quark, are you triggered? |
22:17.22 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: Hindu rather |
22:17.52 | Monet | No it just sounds like an ignorant thing to think. |
22:18.04 | Monet | I was born Anglican |
22:18.55 | Quark8 | I'm not triggered. Just a little annoyed. |
22:19.11 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah its silly for sure |
22:19.36 | Quark8 | Now, if it weren't for one of these people I would't have learned about that sex manual :P. |
22:19.43 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
22:20.04 | DrodoEmpire | I was gonna ask if it even *was* religious in nature |
22:20.26 | DrodoEmpire | Turns out it is, but even so? Not that bad |
22:21.31 | Quark8 | "Contrary to western popular perception, the Kama Sutra is not exclusively a sex manual; it presents itself as a guide to a virtuous and gracious living that discusses the nature of love, family life and other aspects pertaining to pleasure oriented faculties of human life. Kama Sutra, in parts of the world, is presumed or depicted as a synonym for creative sexual positions; in reality, only 20% of Kama Sutra is about sexual posit |
22:21.43 | Quark8 | It's not purely sexual in nature. |
22:21.57 | DrodoEmpire | Right, right |
22:22.21 | Monet | Reminds me of how FOX accused Mass Effect of being a porn game despite there only being one sex scene in the entire game. |
22:22.42 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: hasty assumptions and cultural misunderstanding |
22:23.50 | Monet | Yeah |
22:24.54 | Hachiman | I remember learning about Hinduism in school |
22:24.58 | Hachiman | Pretty interesting faith |
22:25.50 | Hachiman | Well, most faiths are interesting to me in one way or another |
22:26.08 | Quark8 | ^ |
22:26.12 | Hachiman | I learned about Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism as well as a bit of Buddhism |
22:26.26 | Quark8 | In what grade? |
22:27.07 | Hachiman | I think between 8th and 10th |
22:27.13 | Quark8 | Ah. |
22:28.52 | Hachiman | Regarding Hinduism, I was taught marriage, the creation myth, some stories of Vishnu being a demon-fighting badass, food, the practice of prayer, some stuff about the temples |
22:29.17 | Quark8 | Most of my knowledge about Hinduism comes from my parents (not the temple as they almost never speak English), while I learned a *little* about Islam and Buddhism in school. |
22:29.41 | Hachiman | A number of gods, including the Trimurti |
22:30.07 | Hachiman | You have Hindu parents? |
22:30.10 | Quark8 | Yep. |
22:30.23 | Hachiman | I can imagine it'd be a bit awkward learning about Islam in school as a Hindu |
22:30.34 | Quark8 | Not really. |
22:31.43 | Monet | Both Islam and Hinduism are quite prevalent in India. |
22:31.56 | DrodoEmpire | The subcontinent in general, anyway |
22:32.29 | Hachiman | Ah fair enough |
22:33.19 | Hachiman | For some reason I was taught that there was some antagonism or uneasiness between Hindu and Islamic faiths |
22:34.25 | DrodoEmpire | There *is* the whole India-Pakistan... Thing |
22:34.41 | Quark8 | My father always characterized Muslims as rude and arrogant and dislikes Islam in general, but my mother is less antagonized towards them and it seems like most of my extended family doesn't really mind. |
22:34.55 | Quark8 | Apparently (I learned this on my most recent Indian trip), polygamy is legal in India if you're a Muslim. |
22:35.03 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
22:35.14 | DrodoEmpire | Also... Yikes :L |
22:35.50 | Hachiman | I forgot that Islam was a polygamist faith |
22:36.19 | Hachiman | I think it's because most Muslims I am aware of in the UK only have one partner |
22:36.43 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah westernised Muslims probably wouldn't see that as acceptable |
22:37.06 | Quark8 | Apparently, there''s a very large Muslim population in Kerala (my state of residence in India), though I've only seen one or two polygamist couples, and that was in Mumbai. |
22:40.19 | Quark8 | Something else I noticed for the first time: there are a bunch of hammer and sickles spray-painted on the poles of the city and the CPI(M) (Communist Party of India (Marxist)) is the ruling party in Kerala. |
22:40.40 | DrodoEmpire | Yikes |
22:41.02 | DrodoEmpire | Communists run that province? >.< |
22:45.00 | Quark8 | Yes, but they regularly contend with the Indian National Congress (a political party), and therefore don't have a significant dominance, and they have very little support in Indian Parliament (only 17 seats out of 790). |
22:45.36 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
22:46.34 | Quark8 | That, and my routine was quite normal (aside from the common power outages, occasional strikes and insects in my food). |
22:47.14 | Hachiman | >insects in my food |
22:47.16 | Hachiman | What the fuck |
22:47.24 | Quark8 | Just a few ants. |
22:47.47 | Quark8 | I complained, by grandmother blasted me in Malayalam, relatives were around, so I complied. |
22:48.39 | Quark8 | *relative (second cousin once removed) |
22:50.17 | Quark8 | What I couldn't stand for, though, was the fact that everyone in the neighborhood would shrug off the fact that they had a few cockroaches in their house. |
22:50.37 | Monet | Squish em. |
22:50.53 | Hachiman | Jesus |
22:51.00 | Quark8 | They were on the ceilings and walls. |
22:51.05 | Hachiman | How can people treat that as the norm? |
22:51.10 | Quark8 | I was tempted to buy a gun and shoot. |
22:51.54 | Quark8 | I don't know. It's a little disturbing some times. |
22:52.14 | Monet | Hachiman: I think people tend to forget that most Westerners generally live on the higher end of the quality of life scale. |
22:52.27 | Monet | Well, not forget |
22:52.28 | Hachiman | But, Dubai |
22:52.32 | Hachiman | And Saudi Arabia |
22:52.33 | Monet | Take for granted |
22:52.51 | Hachiman | Well, actually no, strike SA off that |
22:52.53 | Hachiman | But Dubai |
22:53.13 | Quark8 | After a few days, I grew accustomed to everything except for the cockroaches and, as my sister says, "suicidal driving". |
22:53.47 | Quark8 | Dubai is nice, and hardly like my part of India. |
22:53.53 | Monet | Not everyone in Dubai is a millionaire. |
22:54.08 | Quark8 | Right. |
22:54.19 | Hachiman | I imagine most people live comfortably though |
22:55.11 | DrodoEmpire | I wouldn't underestimate the sort of wealth inequality that exists in developing countries |
22:55.25 | DrodoEmpire | I mean, if I'm not mistaken Dubai was pretty much created by slaves |

22:57.35 | Monet | Hello |
22:57.53 | Monet | I've come to understand Dubai is like some living Disneyland. |
22:58.16 | Quark8 | if you're a tourist, pretty much. |
22:58.56 | Quark8 | However, whenever I went I was there for only two days at most, so I can't be the best judge. |
22:59.28 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
22:59.59 | NeonPanda | had a friend who worked there for 9 months as a technician, basically the way he summed it up was "as long as you stay in the district they like you to be in, it's a holiday" |
23:00.03 | Quark8 | What does he do there? |
23:00.07 | Quark8 | *Monet: |
23:00.09 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
23:00.20 | Quark8 | Ah |
23:02.00 | NeonPanda | holy shit there are cephalopods that shoot themselves out of the water for 30 to 50 metres |
23:02.15 | The_Randomness | holy shit |
23:02.21 | The_Randomness | that's nuts |
23:03.01 | NeonPanda | like I knew a lot of them used jet propulsion, but dayumn |
23:03.21 | Monet | I think the amazing thing is despite all the skyscrapers, it's somewhat tiny. |
23:03.41 | Monet | http://www.2daydubai.com/maps/dubai-maps_clip_image017.jpg this is pretty-much it for a city of 2.5 million. |
23:04.26 | The_Randomness | those artificial islands tho |
23:05.39 | Monet | Dubai's growing more in the sea than it is on land. |
23:06.04 | Hachiman | Dubai's artificial islands are fucking cool |
23:06.05 | Quark8 | Huh. Like last year, today is a nationwide strike in India that coincides with my birthday. |
23:06.13 | Monet | And those giant islands are as densely populated as your average American suburb. |
23:06.23 | Quark8 | Dey dam cool. |
23:06.36 | DrodoEmpire | Anything's possible with Arabian oil money |
23:06.37 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
23:07.05 | Monet | Aye. Dubai's life depends on its oil. |
23:07.17 | Quark8 | Bbs. |
23:07.41 | Monet | It may be full of casinos, hotels and I-don't-know-what, but oil is still where the real money is. |
23:07.50 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah sure |
23:08.10 | DrodoEmpire | Not hard to build a pretty city when you're literally yanking money out from under the sand |
23:08.12 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
23:08.19 | The_Randomness | Could be thinking of another place, but don't they use migrant workers to help build this stuff? |
23:08.28 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
23:08.31 | Monet | They do. |
23:08.33 | DrodoEmpire | Slave labour, more like |
23:08.36 | The_Randomness | yeah |
23:08.46 | Monet | Migrant workers who barely get paid and have limited freedom. |
23:08.49 | NeonPanda | DrodoEmpire: they import highly skilled foreign workers who get paid a shitton |
23:08.59 | Monet | Like Panda said - if you stay where you're told it's like a holiday. |
23:09.14 | NeonPanda | there are the basically slave people, but there's also the people who have the in-demand skills and get paid a shitton of money for it |
23:09.29 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah duh |
23:09.31 | DrodoEmpire | No shit |
23:09.32 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
23:09.41 | DrodoEmpire | But they also use a lot of slave labour for the dirty work |
23:09.57 | NeonPanda | like my friend made three years' money in nine months, doing exactly the same thing |
23:10.59 | Monet | http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/30895815.jpg I've always found night views are a fairly reliable way of measuring urban sprawl. |
