10:48.49 | Liquid_Ink | Since I decided I wanted it to be a more or less utopia, and that an oligarchy decided by like ten different systems, those systems themselves based on seniority and ethnocracy, was not the best manner to have a utopia. |
10:49.30 | ImpyDroid2 | Fair point |

14:34.49 | Charles_Murray | What have I don |
14:34.52 | Charles_Murray | done* |
14:34.58 | Charles_Murray | That was never supposed to be canon |
14:35.37 | Xho | Well considering the fiction hasn't been edited in over 6 months you can de-canon it |
14:35.48 | Xho | Monet: A ridiculously bad optimisation by the looks of it |
14:36.22 | Charles_Murray | Well the French version of that table was never canon |
14:36.49 | Charles_Murray | But the Draekar took the table I made and adapted it to their fiction |
14:36.59 | Monet | Yeah wasn't the based on the table Imp and I designed. |
14:37.43 | Charles_Murray | Based off of this |
14:37.44 | Charles_Murray | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User%3ACharles_Murray/FCE_OOB |
14:37.50 | Charles_Murray | He didn't even get it right lol |
14:38.26 | Charles_Murray | The command structure he's depicting is missing naval elements tying into the general structure |
14:38.39 | Charles_Murray | Oh well |
14:39.11 | Monet | oH THAT ONE |
14:50.15 | Wormy_ | Xho: I think the generation comes more from the RAM than GPU, since it has to turn to those generated numbers into geometry at a certain distance on the fly in real time. That comes with limits on how far, and how fast, things can be generated, no matter how good your graphics are |
14:51.00 | Wormy_ | MY computer handls the highest graphics fine but I can still see the generation at work |
14:51.29 | Xho | Still though |
14:51.31 | Xho | I got 32 GB RAM |
14:56.17 | Wormy_ | I think its just a consequence of how procedural generation works, it will probably get better. Space Engine looks more seamless, though even that probably isn't as complicated as NMS's parameters |
14:57.59 | Wormy_ | Maybe the game ought to change the field of generation based on RAM, and smooth it out a bit more |
14:58.57 | Imperios | Wormy_ Monet: http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l491/Brendon_Condon/fic-terr2.png What is this |
15:00.15 | Wormy_ | I see Star Wars, Warhammer 40K, Star Trek and its Terran Empire universe |
15:01.30 | Monet | Yeah looks like some strange mashup symbol. |
15:06.48 | Wormy_ | Actually, I am wrong. If NMS's procedural generation works anything like this https://www.blender.org/manual/modeling/metas/introduction.html, its strength comes from the CPU (and/or maybe GPU) and uses little memory. But more that is generated, obviously the more memory it uses. So NMS probably is designed to use as little as possible for seamless movement. |

21:33.03 | Imperios | The same way colour black is a colour |
21:33.12 | Xho | Black is a colour though |
21:33.31 | OluapPlayer | Black is the absence of color |
21:33.38 | Xho | Everything has a colour unless you can't see it then it's colourless |
21:33.40 | OluapPlayer | White is every color at once |
21:33.41 | Imperios | Actually |
21:33.43 | Imperios | If you think about it |
21:34.08 | Imperios | Any Xhodocto taking any masculine or feminine characteristics at some point are transgender by definition |
21:34.15 | Imperios | Their biological sex is none |
21:34.22 | Xho | Alright you're beginning to piss me off now and I'm not sure why |
21:34.30 | OluapPlayer | Stretching for reactions there |
21:34.42 | Imperios | So they only aren't transgender if they are agender |
21:34.52 | Xho | Anyway the new Tandava are androgynous by intention |
21:35.25 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: Also http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/6/6a/ATR_Coat_of_Arms.png/revision/latest?cb=20160909211606 humie emblem |
21:35.36 | OluapPlayer | I've nothing to say |
21:35.48 | Xho | But no, Xhodocto don't have genders |
21:36.06 | Xho | You can't assign a gender to something that is above the concept of gender |
21:36.20 | Imperios | Fair point |
21:36.41 | Imperios | I explored that idea with Imperix |
21:36.48 | Xho | But to prior discussion, black is a colour |
21:36.51 | Imperios | Imperix are gas clouds so they are neither male nor female |
21:37.06 | Imperios | But there are male and female Imperix because they can choose how they sound in their suits |
21:37.06 | OluapPlayer | I'm pretty sure I read black = the absence of color |
21:37.08 | Imperios | And act |
21:37.14 | Monet | You have to step back a little, your SJW friends might be influencing you. |
21:37.16 | Xho | OluapPlayer: abesence of light |
21:37.32 | OluapPlayer | Hm |
21:37.32 | Xho | absence* |
21:37.39 | OluapPlayer | Might be the source of my confusion |
21:37.55 | Xho | Or complete absorption depending on the way you look at it |
21:38.00 | Imperios | Monet: My country will beat the excessive SJW out of me itself |
21:38.10 | OluapPlayer | I am sure though that white is what you get when you mix every color |
21:38.15 | Xho | If the brain can perceive something with an appearance then it has a colour |
21:38.26 | Xho | OluapPlayer: if you mix all light you get white hur |
21:38.38 | OluapPlayer | xactly c |
21:38.45 | Xho | Mixing every colour = black |
21:38.55 | OluapPlayer | dats bullshit |
21:39.03 | Xho | CMYK colour models brah |
21:39.17 | Xho | If you have 100% CMY you get black |
21:39.41 | OluapPlayer | Reminds me mantis shrimps can apparently see colours humans (and most other animals) can't |
21:39.47 | OluapPlayer | because their eyes are that good |
21:40.02 | Xho | dem eyes tho |
21:40.15 | Monet | Infrared? |
21:40.55 | OluapPlayer | "Compared to the three types of colour receptive cones that humans possess in their eyes, the eyes of a mantis shrimp carry 16 types of colour receptive cones. Furthermore, the shrimp is capable of tuning the sensitivity of its long-wavelength vision to adapt to its environment." |

21:43.06 | Xho | mantis pistol shrimp |
21:43.22 | OluapPlayer | Pistol shrimps can snap their claws at you hard enough to make the water boil in front of them and insta-kill small fish |

21:47.23 | OluapPlayer | #nothx |
21:48.29 | Monet | Whales have quite the intestinal tract. |
21:49.00 | OluapPlayer | Says nothing here that these are parasites |
21:50.46 | Monet | These one of these worms that live around geothermal vents? |
21:50.50 | Xho | " It is the most common nemertean found along the coasts of Britain." |
21:50.51 | Xho | ffs |
21:51.24 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
21:51.27 | OluapPlayer | "Lineus longissimus can be found on sandy shores, muddy shores, and in tide pools." |
21:51.31 | OluapPlayer | Nope |
21:51.50 | Monet | I doubt you'd find those 50+ ones in tide pools. |
21:52.24 | Monet | I like how it's name translates into something like "long line" |
21:52.29 | DrodoEmpire | Allright, time to play my France game |
21:52.36 | DrodoEmpire | Its 1718, so its real late game |
21:53.01 | OluapPlayer | I get reminded of a webm showing some sort of giant transparent worm-like thing in the sea |
21:53.07 | OluapPlayer | Don't know what that was meant to be |
21:53.43 | Monet | I think it's been discussed before |
21:54.44 | Monet | It's got lots of little wo worms on the inside wall doesn't it? |
21:55.38 | OluapPlayer | I don't recall, it's been a while since I saw it |
21:55.50 | OluapPlayer | I just remember it being very large and transparent |
21:56.34 | Xho | Monet: longest line heh |
21:56.57 | Monet | Great work with the name, biologists of the world. |

21:57.24 | OluapPlayer | What are you even downloading? |
21:57.28 | Xho | GTA V |
21:57.39 | Monet | All 65+ GB of it. |
21:57.39 | OluapPlayer | git internet speed |
21:57.45 | OluapPlayer | Fucking what |
21:57.48 | Xho | yup |
21:57.56 | OluapPlayer | I didn't know it was that big |
21:58.03 | Xho | 64.1 GB according to Steam |
21:58.08 | Monet | Well...Los Santos is pretty big. |
21:59.00 | OluapPlayer | They must've redesigned it a lot then |
21:59.07 | Xho | Internet speed has varied a bit |
21:59.07 | OluapPlayer | SA Los Santos wasn't that huge |
21:59.18 | Monet | It might be the textures |
21:59.20 | Xho | Right now it's a comparatively poxy 2.1 mb/sec |
21:59.38 | Xho | It has maxed out at 4.8 |
21:59.43 | Monet | GTA V's LS corresponds almost street-for-street to the real Los Angeles. |
21:59.46 | OluapPlayer | That's double the max speed I can get |
21:59.48 | Xho | I need a new router |
21:59.49 | OluapPlayer | stop complainin |
22:00.08 | OluapPlayer | Probably heavily redesigned then |
22:00.16 | Monet | Well, except Los Angeles is nicknamed "the sixty mile city" for it's stupidly enormous suburbs. |
22:00.40 | OluapPlayer | "deres sixty mile city so u get sixty GB download" |
22:01.08 | Xho | wankers |
22:01.27 | OluapPlayer | I played SA up to the Flight School |
22:01.32 | OluapPlayer | Now I don't really wanna continue |
22:01.36 | OluapPlayer | because Flight School |
22:01.58 | Monet | From what I can tell, the "sixty mile" part's been left out |
22:02.19 | Monet | As in real life that sixty miles is this http://www.thesolutionsjournal.org/sites/default/files/Pers_Mykleby_Figure2.jpg - which would be boring beyond measure |
22:02.34 | OluapPlayer | How Rockstar managed to downgrade the plane controls between Vice City and San Andreas I can't understand |
22:02.41 | OluapPlayer | Because SA planes control like absolute ass |
22:03.13 | Xho | GTA V isn't much of an improvement either |
22:03.27 | Monet | I use a controller so myah. |
22:03.34 | Monet | I like the flying |
22:03.36 | Xho | It's bad even with a controller |
22:03.43 | Xho | I do suck at it though |
22:03.52 | OluapPlayer | I have a controller here but I'd rather not have to use it just for this |
22:03.55 | Monet | Helicopters can be a bit manic I will agree. |
22:04.00 | OluapPlayer | I prefer playing with a keyboard |
22:04.29 | OluapPlayer | Helicopters are wonky but nowhere as bad as planes |
22:04.57 | Monet | I also use my controller for driving. I grew up on Colin McCrae rally and Gran Turismo, so using a car with a controller is like the only way for me. |
22:05.24 | OluapPlayer | Now I got reminded of that one mission where you have to chase down a plane with a slower crappy plane |
22:05.29 | OluapPlayer | good lord pls no |
22:06.32 | Monet | That happens in V |
22:06.44 | OluapPlayer | Oh god why |
22:07.13 | Monet | It's funny to have Trevor chase down a cargo jet plane flying a crop duster - at least that plane is coming in to land rather than taking off. |
22:07.50 | OluapPlayer | The one in SA is also coming in to land, but you need to catch up to it before it does |
22:08.44 | Monet | Sounds like the V mission was a callback |
22:09.03 | OluapPlayer | Callback to the one mission that made me ragequit back in the day |
22:09.04 | OluapPlayer | thanks rockstar |
22:09.06 | Monet | Hilariously though Ron -does- call Trevor out for how batshit the idea is. |
22:09.22 | OluapPlayer | Does he board the plane and kill everyone inside? |
22:09.30 | Monet | Yes |
22:09.38 | OluapPlayer | It's the same fucking mission |
22:09.41 | OluapPlayer | Goddamnit |
22:10.14 | Monet | Although it seems this mission is more designed to be possible - the plane does slow down and landing inside the plane is done with a cutscene. |
22:10.47 | OluapPlayer | You also board it in a cutscene in SA, the problem is the plane you're chasing is faster than the one you have to fly |
22:11.29 | OluapPlayer | Unless you can turn around and get yourself in front of it perfectly, you got no chance |
22:11.46 | OluapPlayer | Would be less trouble if they just let you shoot it with an RPG or something |
22:12.22 | Monet | Well then don't worry. From my experience, the actual approach in the V mission (you have to spend some time flying low) the plane appears to slow down to allow you to catch it |
22:12.57 | OluapPlayer | I'm surprised there's something in this sort in GTA V |
22:13.08 | OluapPlayer | afaik GTA IV onwards are supposed to be more realistic |
22:13.22 | Monet | Kind of. |
22:13.31 | OluapPlayer | The mission in SA is straight up Hollywood action scene material |
22:13.50 | Monet | Well you are in the LA area. |
22:13.59 | OluapPlayer | True |
22:14.05 | OluapPlayer | brb |
22:14.28 | Monet | V I believe is designed as homage to both SA and the golden age of action movies. |
