| 03:30.00 | Charles_Murray | Hey |
| 03:30.14 | The_Randomness | I just spent this whole week debugging this program of mine for an assignment, only to end up fixing just about all of the errors today |
| 03:30.27 | The_Randomness | rip my week |
| 03:30.27 | Charles_Murray | Welcome to computer science |
| 03:30.32 | The_Randomness | yeah pretty much |
| 03:30.42 | Charles_Murray | It's been two weeks since anything of substance happened in the news |
| 03:30.46 | Charles_Murray | And today |
| 03:30.48 | Charles_Murray | Weeks happened |

| 03:32.56 | Charles_Murray | 1. A tape released onto the web has Donald Trump boasting that he sexually assaulted multiple women in extremely demeaning and objectifying language |
| 03:33.08 | The_Randomness | classy |
| 03:33.09 | TetrisD | Hello |
| 03:33.29 | Charles_Murray | 2. The US government formally accuses Russia of being behind the email hacks of the DNC and Colin Powell |
| 03:33.49 | TetrisD | I come in here to hear this... |
| 03:33.53 | Charles_Murray | 3. Turns out Clinton's campaign manager was also hacked and his emails are now on WikiLeaks |
| 03:34.45 | The_Randomness | spicy |
| 03:35.42 | TetrisD | Looks like the government isn't going anywhere but to the graveyard |
| 03:35.51 | DrodoEmpire | No, that's silly |
| 03:35.59 | Charles_Murray | 4. And there's the whole reaction to item #1. Paul Ryan's was fairly badass |
| 03:36.14 | DrodoEmpire | Its just that this election's been a bit crazy |
| 03:36.29 | DrodoEmpire | Hardly the end of America :p |
| 03:36.38 | Charles_Murray | ^ |
| 03:36.41 | The_Randomness | loldoom&gloom |
| 03:36.53 | The_Randomness | Charles_Murray: What was Paul Ryan's reaction like? |
| 03:36.53 | TetrisD | What exactly is crasy in a world like this? |
| 03:37.00 | DrodoEmpire | Well |
| 03:37.03 | DrodoEmpire | This election, for starters |
| 03:37.05 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
| 03:37.41 | DrodoEmpire | That all being said, I'm not a fan of Hillary, nor am I so much a fan of Trump as I am a fan of the sort of anti-establishment people that rally around him for better or for worse |
| 03:37.45 | TetrisD | That's perfectly normal compared to some other things |
| 03:37.52 | DrodoEmpire | Gary "What is Aleppo?" Johnson is a joke |
| 03:38.01 | DrodoEmpire | Jill Stein's... Jill Stein |
| 03:38.29 | DrodoEmpire | So, no, no candidate suits me. >.< And they're all silly one way or another |
| 03:38.37 | The_Randomness | well-said for the independent candidates |
| 03:38.53 | DrodoEmpire | What do you mean by that? |
| 03:38.59 | TetrisD | I'd sooner vote for the Three Stooges |
| 03:39.36 | Charles_Murray | "a bit crazy" is understatement of the century |

| 03:40.14 | Charles_Murray | For Ryan's reaction |
| 03:40.26 | Charles_Murray | "In the meantime, he is no longer attending tomorrowâs event in Wisconsin." |
| 03:40.57 | Charles_Murray | He just kicked out the PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY of a Republican event being held tomorrow |
| 03:41.30 | The_Randomness | oh wow |
| 03:42.55 | Charles_Murray | With 20 days to the election, and the past two week being such a disaster for him, it seems like everyone is tentatively leaning towards declaring that this is "game over" |
| 03:44.36 | The_Randomness | The political forecast that I watch agrees with you |
| 03:45.09 | DrodoEmpire | Why can't Mike Stearns be A. real, and B. president of a United States that *isn't* in 17th century Thuringia <.< |
| 03:45.31 | The_Randomness | anyway, be back in a little bit, have to go do something |
| 03:47.24 | Charles_Murray | DrodoEmpire They recreated the United States instead of just going with their own county or state? |
| 03:47.54 | DrodoEmpire | In 1632 all the original inhabitants of Grantville were "up-timers"- that is, 20th century Americans |
| 03:48.42 | DrodoEmpire | They decided to recreate the USA as best they could using the Constitution and classical Enlightment values |
| 03:48.49 | DrodoEmpire | *Enlightenment |
| 03:49.26 | DrodoEmpire | I believe the new US's government was a bit different though |
| 03:49.47 | Charles_Murray | How did they do it? xD |
| 03:49.56 | DrodoEmpire | Read the book fgt <.< |
| 03:50.14 | DrodoEmpire | Mostly due to it being a small republic of a half million people at most as opposed to, you know, a continent-spanning nation of 400 million |
| 03:50.26 | DrodoEmpire | And in a constant state of war whether they like it or not |
| 03:51.44 | DrodoEmpire | Basically they all generally agreed that the traditional German aristocracy of Thirty Years' War vintage was foul and defied the whole thing in favour of their values and traditions |
| 03:52.00 | DrodoEmpire | It was *very popular* with the many war refugees |
| 03:52.16 | DrodoEmpire | Anyway, I won't spoil it as its a great read |
| 03:52.23 | DrodoEmpire | And they get better with time |
| 03:53.22 | DrodoEmpire | (And, no, it isn't a *total* freedomfest- they run in to issues especially in the later books and are put in a *very* awkward political position from the getgo) |
| 04:00.31 | Charles_Murray | Gustavus Adolphus nein |
| 04:08.28 | TetrisD | Trump seams to be an a anti-Semitic from what I'm reading |
| 04:09.03 | TetrisD | Guess who I'm not voting for |
| 04:17.50 | DrodoEmpire | Gustavus Adolphus is one of my favourite characters in the book <.< |
| 04:18.26 | Charles_Murray | Oh hey |
| 04:18.30 | Charles_Murray | Trump just released a video |

| 12:35.04 | drom | Basically anarchists against technology |

| 12:35.14 | Xho | I gathered the meaning of the word but I didn't know it was a word |

| 12:38.10 | drom | Contrast Amish |
| 12:42.16 | Wormy_ | Looks like flawed utopianism, they unwittingly are still projecting their values on nature. "mitivists also see modern science as another form of mediation between humans and the natural world, resulting in further alienation from their environment" Well what better connection to the natural world that Science? No other species can understand and harness the laws of physics. |
| 12:42.38 | Wormy_ | like we do |
| 12:43.47 | Monet | Sounds like the Ba'ku. |
| 12:43.51 | Wormy_ | It is our special connection to the universe, that physics can be understood by epistemological (and likely computational) means. Deep stuff |
| 12:45.25 | Wormy_ | Speaking of computers, I had a nightmare that I programmed something wrong and my computer burst into flames. |
| 12:45.40 | Wormy_ | Was so relieved when I woke up |
| 12:46.03 | drom | Wormy_: That can happen if you program an IC in the wrong way |
| 12:46.23 | drom | Embedded Computers, rather. |
| 12:47.03 | Wormy_ | Jebus, well I won't be fiddling with that. |
| 12:47.37 | Wormy_ | I started my Masters in compSci this week |
| 12:48.22 | drom | About to finish mathematics for engineers and my introduction course to computer engineering |
| 12:49.41 | drom | I've already a project for the latter. But the deliverer forgot to ship my parcel together an other part that was missing from the beginning |
| 12:49.55 | drom | So it had been delayed for one week |
| 12:49.58 | drom | grumbles |
| 12:50.36 | drom | Besides. I hope I don't fritz that thing while measuring the circurity with a DMM |
| 12:51.01 | Wormy_ | That's really irritating. Anyway, I hope nothing explodes and all goes well |
| 12:52.08 | drom | The project is about making a home application or a comsetic (as in useless, see the useless box and other cool single-purpose stuff) application using an Arduino. |
| 12:52.40 | drom | Mine is about taking an old RC and swap out its EC to an Arduino |
| 12:52.58 | Wormy_ | Because my Msc is aimed at people without a strong background in compSci, the first semester is basically a crash course introduction where they squeeze three years of undergrad into one semester. Then in the second semester I can choose a number of specialisms, and in the third do a research thesis |
| 12:53.01 | drom | Since it was old, it had simple and easily comprehendable circurity. |
| 12:54.39 | Wormy_ | Bet that's useful in robotics? |
| 12:59.41 | drom | Yep |
| 12:59.49 | drom | Robotics is applied computer engineering anyway |
| 13:03.40 | drom | One of the nice things of CE is that you can finally have a good excuse bringing around these beauties. http://i.imgur.com/fY8Dr0q.jpg |
| 13:07.27 | Wormy_ | What are they? For measuring wires and components? |

| 13:28.12 | drom | I'll be back soon, need to configure my client |
| 13:28.45 | Cuttlefish | i don't get why anyone would go there. the site is a nexus of toxicity |
| 13:29.55 | Monet | At this point 4chan is like a gestalt entity. |
| 13:30.14 | Monet | It's got its own awareness and takes up a significant portion of the Internet. |
| 13:31.34 | Wormy_ | I personally don't want to come across something illegal and being watched |
| 13:31.49 | Wormy_ | or click on a link by accident and get a virus |
| 13:32.01 | Wormy_ | so 4chann isn't for me |
| 13:32.10 | Cuttlefish | I'm just creeped out by all the pedophiles and neo nazis |
| 13:32.52 | Wormy_ | I donn't think the former are very common on 4chann but its known to have happened |
| 13:33.08 | Cuttlefish | it's also how i learned the alt right have appropriated pepe the frog as a symbol of white nationalism |
| 13:34.00 | Monet | I had heard from a friend that Pepe was now considered racist or something but I had no idea how. |
| 13:34.05 | OluapPlayer | Not all of 4chan is a cesspool, but obviously the bad parts are the ones people know about |
| 13:34.30 | Monet | OluapPlayer: The crazy minority effect strikes again. |
| 13:34.39 | OluapPlayer | Anonymity means people can do what they please without repercussions |
| 13:34.57 | Wormy_ | yeah its pretty broad really, you never know what you'll find or how the community reacts to something there |
| 13:35.10 | OluapPlayer | I speak this as someone who goes there daily |
| 13:35.11 | Cuttlefish | Yeah that's why I never open my ask box on tumblr. |
| 13:35.56 | Wormy_ | 7chan is even more extreme isn't it? |
| 13:36.06 | Cuttlefish | there's a 7chan? |
| 13:36.13 | Wormy_ | yeah |
| 13:36.13 | OluapPlayer | I don't know 7chan |
| 13:36.19 | OluapPlayer | It's a separate entity altogether |
| 13:36.27 | Cuttlefish | i've heard of 8chan |
| 13:36.48 | OluapPlayer | 8chan was created in protest to alleged censorship in 4chan |
| 13:36.54 | OluapPlayer | They're basically the same thing though |
| 13:37.03 | Monet | "We'll make our own Chan, with baccarat and art-house cinema nights" |
| 13:37.12 | Monet | My guess as to what 7Chan is |
| 13:37.16 | OluapPlayer | Except in 8chan you can freely make your own boards |
| 13:37.46 | Monet | So basically 8Chan was born when 4Chan tried to rein in the lunacy. |
| 13:38.10 | Monet | It's the great pony plague all over again. |
| 13:38.12 | OluapPlayer | Arguably |
| 13:38.18 | Cuttlefish | pony plague? |
| 13:38.22 | OluapPlayer | No censorship really happened |
| 13:38.32 | OluapPlayer | 8chan's creation was, for the most part, overreaction |
| 13:38.52 | Wormy_ | found this https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/2m4m5o/what_is_the_difference_between_2chan_4chan_7chan/ |
| 13:39.29 | Monet | Cuttlefish: One of the reasons pony art/memes are everywhere is because 4chan moderators tried to control the insane level of MLP posting going on a few years ago. |
| 13:39.50 | OluapPlayer | When MLP first came out, the whole site was infested with it |
| 13:40.08 | OluapPlayer | A specific board for it was eventually created and now people can only post ponies there |
| 13:40.20 | Cuttlefish | I've never seen any pony memes. Then again, I usually avoid the sites inhabited by fandoms |
| 13:40.23 | OluapPlayer | That's one of the places people go to be ironically creepy to each other |
| 13:40.45 | Monet | Eventually after a long war between mods and bronies, a number of users left and took their pony love elsewhere. |
| 13:40.56 | Monet | And by elsewhere I mean "anywhere that lets you post pictures" |
| 13:41.32 | OluapPlayer | That's mostly what 4chan is about. Pretending to be stupid thanks to anonymity. People are very rarely serious about what they say |
| 13:41.56 | Monet | DeviantArt for instance has been forever submerged in kinky pony art since the great pony plague. |
| 13:42.04 | OluapPlayer | "The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact." |
| 13:42.25 | Cuttlefish | gamergate seemed pretty serious. i think that was mostly on 4chan |
| 13:42.45 | OluapPlayer | Gamergate goes far beyond 4chan |
| 13:42.59 | Monet | GamerGate was a serious concern until Anita Sarkessian opened her mouth |
| 13:43.10 | OluapPlayer | It existed there and contributed to the creation of 8chan, but it was hardly the only place where it was relevant |
| 13:43.27 | Cuttlefish | I don't think gamergate was ever a serious concern |
| 13:44.36 | Monet | It was initially about cronyism between big publishers and review sites like IGN wasn't it? |
| 13:44.53 | OluapPlayer | I've honestly no idea what GooberGate was ever about |
| 13:45.02 | OluapPlayer | To me it was a hurricane of information that didn't add up |
| 13:45.29 | Cuttlefish | Mostly a bunch of whiney manchildren complaining about how feminist criticism of games was "censorship" |
| 13:46.11 | OluapPlayer | Radical feminist meddling was a point in it, yes |
| 13:46.18 | *** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (uid149600@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-hktqaiucschfxpfh) |
| 13:46.33 | OluapPlayer | But I never understood the goal or point or the direction of it all |
| 13:46.57 | Monet | I think it was about cronyism initially as IGN is a massive offender for being paid to give a five-star review or hype a game to oblivion. |
| 13:46.57 | Cuttlefish | It was an angry mob there was no goal |
| 13:47.33 | Cuttlefish | Gamergaters claimed that one of the reviewers slept with the developer, a claim which was false, that led to multiple death threats |
| 13:48.48 | Monet | That might have been how it evolved. |
| 13:48.59 | OluapPlayer | Regardless, it stopped being relevant |
| 13:49.20 | *** join/#sporewiki drom (~drom@unaffiliated/drom) |
| 13:49.35 | drom | Ugh for gtk-2.0 |
| 13:49.59 | Monet | But after the radical Feminists arrived it turned into rampantly chauvanistic the games industry is. Even though until the last maybe 8-10 years it was generally agreed that most gamers were men. |
| 13:51.16 | OluapPlayer | Yeah and that didn't get any better over time |
| 13:51.20 | OluapPlayer | In fact it's only gotten worse |
| 13:51.26 | Cuttlefish | I'm confused Monet, what are you saying. |
| 13:52.49 | OluapPlayer | Radical feminists whining over videogames not fitting their points of view |
| 13:53.04 | drom | Cuttlefish, judging from what was said, I guess he is talking about that the game industry mostly targeted the male audience. |
| 13:53.35 | Monet | Originally the feminsits had a point - games were long seen as boys' toys. Especially the ones that involve shooting things. |
| 13:53.46 | drom | That was from the perspective of the radical feminism. |
| 13:54.04 | OluapPlayer | Xho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfsCNL1g00o |
| 13:54.16 | Monet | So they were tailored, as is typical in marketing, to appeal to their primary demographic - young men. |
| 13:54.16 | Cuttlefish | I don't think criticism of harmful tropes counts as whining. |
| 13:55.00 | Monet | The problem is a lot of feminists - Sarkessian is a good example - whine for attention. |
| 13:55.00 | OluapPlayer | That implies the 'tropes' are harmful |
| 13:55.24 | OluapPlayer | Also if this talk is going to take a turn to feminism, it better be taken to the other channel |
| 13:55.31 | OluapPlayer | These discussions never end well |
| 13:55.35 | Cuttlefish | I mean yeah many of the depictions of women in video games reenforce harmful stereotypes that impact the treatment of women in real life |
| 13:55.49 | Monet | Never mind how inspiring women like Tifa and Lara Croft were as action girls, they are what's wrong with gaming because of their massive chests and short-shorts. |
| 13:56.01 | drom | Oh hey |
| 13:56.14 | drom | Another FNaF has been released. |
| 13:56.25 | drom | http://store.steampowered.com/app/506610/ |
| 13:56.27 | Monet | drom: It's milking season. |
| 13:56.31 | Cuttlefish | FNaF is a piece of trash |
| 13:56.42 | OluapPlayer | It came out yesterday |
| 13:57.05 | drom | Didn't catch the news until now. |
| 13:58.12 | Monet | One problem that Feminists dig themselves into is their main beef is how the women are portrayed. In some cases they care nothing for the personality which is rather hypocritical. |
| 13:58.29 | Cuttlefish | What personality? |
| 13:58.31 | OluapPlayer | Take the feminist talk to offtopic I said |
| 13:59.28 | Monet | Its rather civil atm but fine, won't argue as its only a matter of time. |
| 14:02.47 | OluapPlayer | Changing topic, I found this brit on YouTube who plays some games I do and I'm amused over how fast he talks when he's excited |
| 14:02.56 | OluapPlayer | He starts talking so fast I can't understand a word |
| 14:05.11 | Technobliterator | I still don't know what the heck Gamergate was |
| 14:05.12 | Technobliterator | Or is |
| 14:05.39 | Technobliterator | Also, yes, Tifa and Lara Croft are awesome |
| 14:05.52 | OluapPlayer | This guy also makes some interesting euphemisms |
| 14:06.04 | OluapPlayer | He just called the enemy that killed him "shitstain on the pants of my happiness" |
| 14:22.55 | Wormy_ | Gameas and gamers have always been the target of negative media attention, "corrupting the youth" does away and comes back in many different forms. |
| 14:23.05 | Wormy_ | *goes away |
| 14:24.35 | Monet | Wormy_: We moved to offtopic. |
| 14:24.44 | Wormy_ | Apologies |
| 14:24.58 | Monet | No problem |
| 14:46.51 | Xho | OluapPlayer: That's pretty much how I speak in real life, just general groans and screams |
| 14:47.03 | OluapPlayer | u got a problem |
| 14:52.32 | Xho | I still don't know what GamerGate is |
| 14:54.16 | Tek0516 | http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/1475937366-20161008.png |
| 14:55.12 | Cuttlefish | This reminds me of the one where Prometheus is tied to a rock watching his favorite movie, but the eagle is ignoring it and texting on his phone |
| 15:05.07 | Hachiman | Hm |
| 15:05.18 | Hachiman | There was a spider corpse in my open windowsill |
| 15:05.24 | Hachiman | It's gone now |
| 15:05.25 | Xho | ew |
| 15:05.46 | Hachiman | Not crushed or anything; on its back, like it laid down and died there |
| 15:05.50 | Cuttlefish | Spiders are good. They kill mosquitoes. |
| 15:06.19 | Hachiman | I went to close my window and I see that it just disappeared |
| 15:06.25 | Monet | I watched a spider trap an insect the other day. |
| 15:06.44 | Monet | It was either a wasp, a butterfly or a fly, can't quite remember. |
| 15:07.03 | Cuttlefish | If it was a butterfly then dam thats impressive |
| 15:07.56 | Hachiman | What's impressive about catching a butterfly? |
| 15:08.53 | Monet | I recall large wings. |
| 15:09.33 | Cuttlefish | I once saw a video of a spider killing a lizard. The world's largest spider is three feet. |
| 15:10.23 | Monet | We have nothing that large here in England. |
| 15:11.11 | Cuttlefish | http://galerie.koehls.de/albums/philippines/spider.jpg |
| 15:11.22 | Cuttlefish | this is what they have in southeast asia |
| 15:13.36 | Xho | three feet |
| 15:13.41 | Xho | That's like a metre long |
| 15:14.04 | Monet | I will never visit the Philippines. |
| 15:14.28 | Cuttlefish | And the amazon has this giant centipede |
| 15:14.59 | Monet | Centipedes aren't so bad |
| 15:15.26 | Cuttlefish | http://i.imgur.com/XSlCdFR.jpg ok but it huge |
| 15:15.49 | Monet | I think I saw something like that in Temple of Doom... |
| 15:16.08 | Hachiman | Aren't centipedes also venomous? |
| 15:16.36 | Cuttlefish | yes |
| 15:16.46 | Monet | I like Cicedas https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Tibicen_linnei.jpg |
| 15:16.59 | Cuttlefish | this one can kill a small child but it's mostly harmless |
| 15:17.27 | Cuttlefish | wetas are pretty cool |
| 15:17.38 | Monet | Is this child-killers one of those 'harmless until you annoy it' kind of bugs? |
| 15:18.33 | Cuttlefish | Like it won't bite unless you get up in it's buissness and if it does bite you yer only dead if you're 4 years old |
| 15:18.45 | Xho | fukn bugs |
| 15:20.06 | Monet | They pale compared to carboniferous bugs |
| 15:20.27 | Cuttlefish | I feel like the fictionverse could use more giant bugs. The square cube law is one of the few things I am willing to completely ignore in favor of badass giant bugs. |
| 15:20.45 | Cuttlefish | Like those big beetle taxis in morrowind |
| 15:21.04 | Hachiman | Except we tend to get vicious about square cube law here |
| 15:21.14 | Hachiman | Because people try to implement giant races or kaiju |
| 15:21.18 | Xho | Whatever the hell box cubes are |
| 15:21.43 | Monet | http://2.bp.blogspot.com/---O0bfswXis/T-daOvdVmPI/AAAAAAAAAmI/Omjp0x58c0w/s1600/6-large+dragonfly.jpg behold! A dragonfly as long as your arm. |
| 15:21.47 | OluapPlayer | A very square box |
| 15:21.58 | Xho | [Krath likes this.] |
| 15:22.18 | Xho | Which reminds me, need to do fiction |
| 15:22.59 | OluapPlayer | do borewar stoph |
| 15:23.09 | Monet | Xho: square cube law = when an object's size is multiplied, its volume is multiplied more. |
| 15:23.19 | Monet | Make something 10x bigger it'll weight 100 more. |
| 15:23.20 | Cuttlefish | In a world with space satan I don't think giant insects are that bad |
| 15:23.28 | Monet | 100x more* |
| 15:24.31 | Cuttlefish | Also I'm a big fan of animals that are not horses ridden as if they were horses |
| 15:24.46 | Monet | I've got a couple of places where giant bugs are common. |
| 15:25.22 | Monet | Nova Thei is a carboniferous jungle and while you were away I modified ALcanti's atmosphere to accomodate giant insects. |
| 15:25.31 | OluapPlayer | I think low gravity and lots of oxygen could get you lots of giant bugs |
| 15:26.02 | Hachiman | Like Carboniferous Earth |
| 15:26.09 | Monet | French Andromeda has a thriving export market in Draconid insect meat. |
| 15:26.13 | Cuttlefish | It also helps will unrealistically tall skyscrapers |
| 15:26.24 | OluapPlayer | ew bug meat |
| 15:26.33 | Cuttlefish | Cultural dissonance |
| 15:27.01 | Cuttlefish | Tarantula tastes just like crab |
| 15:27.19 | Monet | I refute 'unrealistic' because back in 1905 they would have thought the Burj Khalifa was impossibly tall. |
| 15:28.13 | Cuttlefish | I guess. But the only reason it is that tall is cause of like it was built as a vanity object so the emir of dubai could say "hey i have the tallest building i'm cool" |
| 15:28.13 | Cuttlefish | there aren't any economic reasons to have so many buildings like that |
| 15:28.14 | Xho | kreb |
| 15:28.35 | Xho | OluapPlayer: eschaton tho |
| 15:28.37 | Cuttlefish | and space isn't an issue since so many empires have like thousands of planets plus terraforming tech |
| 15:28.37 | Monet | Cuttlefish: Overpopulation is one. |
| 15:28.49 | OluapPlayer | Well ask the others |
| 15:28.51 | Wormy_ | We have the Mantisorac |
| 15:29.00 | Xho | Hachiman ImpyDroid2: eschaton |
| 15:29.02 | Hachiman | Reading manga right now |
| 15:29.14 | Xho | fukn |
| 15:29.34 | Xho | put down ur weaboo shit and do fiction alredi |
| 15:29.48 | Cuttlefish | I can understand Minos Drakon having buildings in the kilometers as it is a capital that is flippin 200 thousand years old but for the most part I am very skeptical of cities like that |
| 15:29.53 | Wormy_ | This page still needs work, but these can get sub-Epic sized http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Mantisorac_Swarm |
| 15:30.11 | Xho | I think people should stop trying to rationalise fiction |
| 15:30.31 | Monet | Cuttlefish: On some respects I do agree if the aim is to turn a virgin world into a city planet in the span of 30 years. |
| 15:30.37 | Cuttlefish | I imagine if alcanti was heavily damaged that it would take centuries to rebuild something like that |
| 15:30.44 | Wormy_ | I don't mind it, as along as it is a fiction the creator doesn't mind being rationalised |
| 15:30.45 | Xho | One thing I really hate about this wiki is the necessity to shove scientific rationality into fiction almost like a massive penis |
| 15:31.01 | Hachiman | Cannot have science fiction without the science |
| 15:31.09 | Xho | Weak excuse |
| 15:31.15 | Xho | Fantasyverse is better anyway :V |
| 15:31.19 | Cuttlefish | Science fiction is mostly just fantasy in space anyway |
| 15:31.25 | Monet | Well without the science it's space fantasy. |
| 15:31.31 | Wormy_ | Yeah but since when we science users rain in your metaphysics parade? |
| 15:31.42 | Xho | You don't |
| 15:31.48 | Cuttlefish | I like the plausible stuff but writing is mostly about having fun. |
| 15:31.49 | Xho | And I don't rain on anyone's science parade |
| 15:32.00 | Xho | Although it gets close sometimes |
| 15:32.04 | Wormy_ | I didn't think we had a problem, then |
| 15:32.16 | Cuttlefish | Logically we can't science explain essence but we have it anyway cause it's totes badass |
| 15:32.41 | Monet | We've tried |
| 15:32.58 | Xho | I don't go into technicalities in fiction because 1) I'm not able to go that far into it 2) It's boring to me |
| 15:33.15 | Monet | Exactly. To each his own. |
| 15:33.23 | Xho | It bothers me a lot when people start doing it to my fiction though |
| 15:33.56 | Xho | Not that it happens much but it has happened |
| 15:33.57 | OluapPlayer | It's bound to happen, this is a collaborative site |
| 15:34.02 | Cuttlefish | I can see why. Your fic is mostly rule of cool. It doesn't have to be sciency cause instead it's just really fun |
| 15:34.13 | Wormy_ | 1) I like doing it because science interests me and brings me to something unusual ideas/contexts to write stories that otherwise would have been thought of 2) I love world building using explanations as a starting point, see http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Planet:Prasandadr |
| 15:35.00 | Wormy_ | Its a like creativity in straps, its fun and leads to complex areas |
| 15:35.09 | Xho | I still want to do a Civ Universe thing |
| 15:35.09 | Wormy_ | *It is like |
| 15:35.13 | Cuttlefish | I like an inconsistent explaining of things. Like the technology is realistic but magic exists just cause I can. |
| 15:35.18 | Xho | Although it's hard to get interest for it |
| 15:35.37 | Hachiman | My main argument for rationalising stuff in science fiction is that it gives limits to work within and its always more of an experience to work under certain restrictions and rules - because then you get to figure out ways to twist, exploit, or break them |
| 15:35.41 | Monet | Cuttlefish: I suppose part of the misconception with giant cities is how much Shanghai, Dubai, Tokyo and Hong Kong have changed in 70 years. |
| 15:35.57 | Xho | Hachiman: fuk da rules |
| 15:36.16 | Xho | Then again I don't like mundane and material things as a rule in fiction |
| 15:36.40 | Xho | mundane in the context of three-dimensional normality |
| 15:36.44 | Cuttlefish | Internal consistency is the main thing I guess. You don't have to explain everything, but you do have to make it clear what you can and can't do |
| 15:36.49 | Monet | Hachi: http://www.slobodaiprosperitet.tv/sites/default/files/images/science.jpg this is valid I guess |
| 15:36.52 | Wormy_ | Hachi: Yeah, its the challenge that can be fun, but its not for everyone |
| 15:37.03 | Monet | We make shit up, but we figure out the fantasy. |
| 15:37.46 | Wormy_ | Despite all I've said, I find a lot of interest in the metaphysics of the SporeWikiverse and have allowed it deep into my fiction |
| 15:37.54 | Cuttlefish | Make up the rules, but don't break the rules once you make them up |
| 15:38.10 | Wormy_ | Just in areas it won't conflict particularly |
| 15:38.16 | Monet | I think most of us have our own consistencies within our fiction. |
| 15:38.29 | Monet | Well, within personal fiction at least. |
| 15:38.47 | Xho | I don't mind the more sciency stuff but it puts too many limits on my thought process |
| 15:39.34 | Wormy_ | Most of my fiction isn't rigorously hard SF anyway. I'm starting to prefer using the terms "plausible" or "speculative" |
| 15:40.21 | Wormy_ | The Super Collab is far more rigorous to the point we have to explain hyperspace physics in a way that makes time travel hard but "FTL" easy |
| 15:40.21 | Hachiman | That reminds me; I wonder if 'luck magic' is something that is possible in the Fantasyverse |
| 15:40.30 | Cuttlefish | I used to care about being plausible but now I'm just like "this won't work in our world but would it work in this made of universe with different physics" |
| 15:40.55 | Xho | Hachiman: pelagrios = patron god |
| 15:41.15 | Monet | These megascrapers I imagine have foundations deeper than modern construction firms can plausibly drill. |
| 15:41.50 | Xho | I don't quite get the Super Collab |
| 15:41.59 | Xho | Language part I do of course but |
| 15:42.28 | Wormy_ | Hachi: 'Luck magic' as in lucky? Or 'luck' magic as something like synchronicity or sympathetic magic? |
| 15:43.01 | Hachiman | More the former since I've only a passing understanding of the latter |
| 15:43.16 | Cuttlefish | Yeah conlangs are fun |
| 15:43.33 | Monet | Cuttlefih: After studying architecture my mind screams HOW IZ DIS POSSIBUL when it sees Coruscant |
| 15:43.41 | Cuttlefish | Probably. Though I Imagine that while buildings like those are possible, they are not as numerous and only cities of immense wealth age and population have more than one or two per city |
| 15:43.52 | Cuttlefish | I'm just confused as to how they breathe |
| 15:44.03 | Xho | Hachiman: I'm gonna put out the opinion that The Violent Sleep of Reason makes Obzen and Koloss look weak |
| 15:44.03 | Cuttlefish | like if the whole planet is a city where does the oxygen come from |
| 15:44.13 | Hachiman | I'll have to listen to the whole album later |
| 15:44.22 | Cuttlefish | is there a big ocean full of plankton that we don't see? |
| 15:44.31 | Cuttlefish | like how they explained taris in kotor |
| 15:44.33 | Xho | Overall it's more similar to Catch 33 or Nothing |
| 15:44.47 | Monet | Cuttlefish: Factory-scale oxygenation factories probably |
| 15:44.49 | Xho | Cuttlefish: continental air conditioners |
| 15:44.50 | Xho | Or that |
| 15:44.55 | Hachiman | Like, if luck is a force than can be determined, influenced, and / or outright manipulated through arcanomancy on Koldenwelt, does that mean aspects of reality such as fate can also be changed to fit a certain mage's preference or something |
| 15:45.07 | Xho | Caligaduro - delete dis |
| 15:45.19 | Cuttlefish | I'm not a fan of luck existing as a thing |
| 15:45.47 | Cuttlefish | And like fate and stuff |
| 15:45.48 | Monet | My brain screams at Coruscant because it's idea of "skyscrapers on skyscrapers" makes me wonder how the lower levels don't collapse with all that weight put on them. |
| 15:45.52 | OluapPlayer | That doesn't make a lot of sense to me |
| 15:45.55 | Xho | Things like probabilities are probably better left out of magical control |
| 15:46.22 | Monet | Unless for some random reason Coruscantians decided to construct their ground-level buildings out of admanatium. |
| 15:46.24 | Xho | I did allude that Asv-Aldz may have some influence over probabilities and such but I retracted it |
| 15:46.25 | Wormy_ | Cuttlefish: Indoor phytoplankton or greenhouses on a vast scale? |
| 15:47.20 | Monet | Skyscrapers *need* foundations - 98% of Coruscant's buildings apparently lack them. |
| 15:47.27 | Xho | wut |
| 15:47.27 | Cuttlefish | I think controlling probability is the most overpowered power in existence. You're basically god. And that's not fair |
| 15:48.52 | Wormy_ | Depends, luck can run out as they say. If luck magic works like sympathetic magic (like "like effects like"), one would still have to find symbolic meaning and have the trouble of merging their intentions with the world. And the world might not play |
| 15:49.19 | Xho | I might work on some pages for magic |
| 15:49.20 | Cuttlefish | Unless it's like a luck power that conveniently stops them from dying but otherwise has no benefit like rincewind in the first discworld |
| 15:49.26 | Xho | I tried it with dark magic but never set off |
| 15:49.33 | Xho | Storm Magic should be easier |
| 15:49.36 | Wormy_ | synchronous magic often comes with the trope of a trickster with a mind of its own that can giveth and taketh away on a whim |
| 15:51.34 | Hachiman | I think that if 'luck magic' is a thing, it'd have to be a system where opportunities for fortune are open and the caster has to work to earn that fortune rather than wait for it to come to them; no such thing as a hopeless situation, as there would always be a window of opportunity available to you if you're smart enough, in essence |
| 15:51.51 | Xho | karma biatch |
| 15:52.24 | Cuttlefish | I should read more into the fantasyverse. How does magic work in that anyway? |
| 15:52.39 | Hachiman | Most magic stems from Koldenwelt's equivalent of Gaia |
| 15:53.13 | Cuttlefish | So borrowed power from a god or is magic some kind of sentient natural force |
| 15:53.32 | Hachiman | Kinda the latter, although the former is also a thing that happens regarding the Simulacra |
| 15:53.42 | OluapPlayer | It's natural but not sentient |
| 15:53.44 | Hachiman | At least, if I recall |
| 15:53.49 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 15:53.53 | OluapPlayer | Most Simulacra use the Source |
| 15:54.20 | OluapPlayer | You don't borrow power from them as much as you borrow from Isiris |
| 15:55.07 | Wormy_ | I think with 'luck magic', the wielder is more asking for luck (charms *like* lucky coincidence) than demanding it, so they cannot monopolise power |
| 15:55.16 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 15:55.45 | Xho | Then you have Void Magic and Primal Energy which aren't from the Source |
| 15:55.58 | Xho | Mainly because their governing forces are unnatural horrors |
| 15:56.58 | Cuttlefish | dude the simulcra are just daedra what the heck |
| 15:57.05 | Xho | More or less |
| 15:57.07 | OluapPlayer | Welcome to 2011 |
| 15:57.24 | OluapPlayer | They were based on the Daedra |
| 15:57.27 | Xho | Although they're not supremely powerful individuals of a species like the Daedra are |
| 15:57.56 | Cuttlefish | I think they are a bit too similar |
| 15:58.11 | OluapPlayer | That's too bad |
| 15:58.13 | Xho | Was kind of the idea originally |

| 16:19.43 | DrodoEmpire | ayy lmao |
| 16:20.50 | NeonPanda | so the police have reiterated their statement about those clown idiots after another one got hospitalised, saying they wont tolerate the behaviour "due to the risk to those with health conditions, and the risk of violent retaliation by those affected" |
| 16:21.21 | NeonPanda | so yeah, they're more concerned with the clowns getting the living shit beaten out of them than the clowns causing injury to others |
| 16:21.27 | DrodoEmpire | I think people absolutely have the right to act like a bunch of creeps outside |
| 16:21.32 | Cuttlefish | oh god more of this clown nonsense. i don't understand people. |
| 16:21.40 | DrodoEmpire | And they shouldn't be persecuted as a whole by the cops |
| 16:21.43 | DrodoEmpire | But |
| 16:21.51 | Cuttlefish | Is it just an american thing? |
| 16:22.04 | DrodoEmpire | Once they begin harassing and assaulting people- as many seem to do now- that's when they deserve a shit-kicking and time in jail |
| 16:22.05 | DrodoEmpire | No |
| 16:22.14 | Cuttlefish | or are clowns popping up elsewhere. I haven't seen any clowns yet where i live |
| 16:22.16 | DrodoEmpire | Its mostly in the States, but its beginning up here in Canada |

| 16:22.29 | DrodoEmpire | Talk of *my* town, anyhow |
| 16:22.34 | Wormy_ | What's this I keep hearing about rogue terrorist clowns? |
| 16:22.56 | NeonPanda | it's started here in Australia too |
| 16:22.56 | OluapPlayer | Terrorist is a bit too much to describe it |
| 16:23.01 | DrodoEmpire | Not terrorists >.< Dumbshits who dress up as clowns and stalk the streets and parks at night brandishing knives |

| 16:23.23 | Xho | There was one in Southampton |
| 16:23.24 | Xho | of course |
| 16:23.25 | DrodoEmpire | They also have a reputation for chasing people with said weapons, and on occasion attacking people |
| 16:23.36 | Cuttlefish | So like clown gangs |
| 16:23.38 | OluapPlayer | Santorakh - this is your reward for making me |
| 16:23.45 | DrodoEmpire | No, they work alone as far as I know |
| 16:23.52 | DrodoEmpire | There's been at least one clown-induced death so far |
| 16:24.02 | DrodoEmpire | (Which is something I never thought I'd say) |
| 16:24.16 | Cuttlefish | Ok so a creepy clown subculture which is growing due to the media attention it is getting |

| 16:25.32 | Cuttlefish | When has there ever been a good clown |
| 16:25.33 | Wormy_ | Everyone needs to be exposed to a good creaming in the face |
| 16:25.45 | Cuttlefish | That's not funny it's just rude |
| 16:27.06 | Cuttlefish | I wonder if this has anything to do with those juggolo people |
| 16:27.18 | DrodoEmpire | That's pretty old-school |

| 19:06.45 | Imperios | That's like 45 kg |
| 19:06.57 | Hachiman | No, no, look at the weights |
| 19:07.01 | Hachiman | How they're arranged |
| 19:07.43 | Xho | 45 kg |

| 19:07.54 | Imperios | 90 kg |
| 19:07.59 | Hachiman | No, no |
| 19:08.00 | Monet2 | Shouldn't the larger the weights be closer to the body? |
| 19:08.05 | Hachiman | ^ |

| 19:59.39 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
| 19:59.55 | DrodoEmpire | So I'm thinking of making Halifaxia's government a bit like an elective monarchy in the Polish style |
| 20:00.09 | TetrisD | hi |
| 20:00.22 | Hachiman | Elective monarchy |
| 20:00.25 | Hachiman | How does that work? |
| 20:00.36 | DrodoEmpire | It can work in a few ways |
| 20:00.36 | Xho | You elect a king |
| 20:00.36 | Xho | doi |
| 20:00.42 | Hachiman | Yeah I meant |
| 20:00.46 | Hachiman | Among which candidates |
| 20:00.55 | Hachiman | Members of the established royal house or |
| 20:01.01 | *** join/#sporewiki Charles_Bot (uid94017@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-gandzntkfivioste) |
| 20:01.04 | DrodoEmpire | Usually its the aristocracy voting on who, among several candidates, can be king |
| 20:01.16 | DrodoEmpire | I'm looking up how it worked in Poland |
| 20:01.20 | Xho | Talk about politics -> Charles_Bot appears |
| 20:01.24 | Xho | it's a buzzword i say |
| 20:01.24 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
| 20:01.40 | Charles_Bot | I have been summoned |
| 20:02.22 | DrodoEmpire | I believe it was that the aristocracy chose among several candidates from a single royal family |
| 20:02.28 | Hachiman | Right |
| 20:02.48 | DrodoEmpire | So there'd be candidate A or B, but both would be from, say, the Piast family |

| 21:20.57 | OluapPlayer | rip |
| 21:21.19 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Drodo_Territories - A few edits here too |
| 21:21.52 | DrodoEmpire | Basically, a pretty temperate forest region contained by mountains from every side |
| 21:22.55 | DrodoEmpire | Technologically the whole region's between 1450s and 1650s Europe |
| 21:24.29 | DrodoEmpire | Halifaxia itself being on the upper end, basically around Thirty Years' War level, maybe a bit earlier |
| 21:24.42 | DrodoEmpire | (so 1600-1620s ish) |
| 21:32.07 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire: http://imgur.com/a/wuY7D So I was inspired to make some weird alien horses and I thought they could be used for Drodo mounts |
| 21:32.29 | DrodoEmpire | Ooh |
| 21:32.43 | DrodoEmpire | I'll consider it |
| 21:33.31 | DrodoEmpire | I mean, in the fictionverse I've sorta figured maybe a close cousin to the Terran Horse species was on Coron due to an intentional/accidental release by DI observers |
| 21:33.38 | DrodoEmpire | So that *could be* it |
| 21:33.59 | DrodoEmpire | Fantasyverse doesn't need quite the same explanation |
| 21:34.45 | OluapPlayer | Koldenwelt has Earth horses in it |
| 21:35.28 | Imperios | That was for fictionverse Drodo |
| 21:35.57 | OluapPlayer | Oh |
| 21:35.59 | OluapPlayer | Missed that bit |
| 21:36.18 | OluapPlayer | idunno buy them from france or somethin |
| 21:37.05 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
| 21:37.15 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh, alright Impy |
| 21:37.26 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah then that could be, definitely |
| 21:37.41 | Imperios | yiy |
| 21:38.08 | DrodoEmpire | Thing is that the Drodo had cavalry before they went interstellar, and they continued the tradition- just with robohorses and shielding and advanced weapons like vibroblades |
| 21:38.19 | DrodoEmpire | All Drodo-mae |
| 21:38.20 | DrodoEmpire | *made |
| 21:38.36 | DrodoEmpire | France actually buys most of its infantry and ground stuff from the Drodo Empire <.< |

| 22:22.42 | DrodoEmpire | Hi Monet |
| 22:24.38 | Monet | Just come out from watching Magnificent Seven |
| 22:25.30 | DrodoEmpire | Oh? |
| 22:26.36 | Monet | To use the lingo, that there was a darn fine movie they made there |
| 22:27.13 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
| 22:28.10 | Wormy_away | This would fit the Grox on SporeWiki http://img.memecdn.com/i-always-wonder-why-she-always-tries-to-defeat-them_o_229300.jpg |
| 22:28.20 | DrodoEmpire | ayyyyyy lmao |
| 22:28.41 | The_Randomness | lol |
| 22:31.45 | Monet | Or in the case of the Grox, there's always the next decade |
| 22:31.57 | DrodoEmpire | Also, in case anybody's curious I spent a lot of time on the Halifaxian military in particular if anybody's curious |
| 22:32.10 | DrodoEmpire | I'll be making up their navy soon, but I have the army more or less done |
| 22:33.34 | DrodoEmpire | (I've given thought to getting rid of the sword-and-buckler men, though) |
| 22:34.10 | DrodoEmpire | (They were an early 16th century thing, and Halifaxia represents the early 17th century) |
| 22:35.21 | DrodoEmpire | And for good reason, as by the 1530s muskets were already getting a little too advanced for swordsmen, especially sword-and-shield to really be terribly relevant anymore |
| 22:35.29 | DrodoEmpire | Among other reasons |
| 22:36.13 | DrodoEmpire | Though... |
| 22:36.19 | DrodoEmpire | They might make good colonial troops, I dunno |
| 22:42.15 | Monet | Most of Koldenwelt still uses medieval style technology |
| 22:43.31 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 22:43.49 | DrodoEmpire | Some places like some of the Drodo Territories and the Empire of Man have early modern |
| 22:43.59 | DrodoEmpire | But, yeah |
| 22:44.32 | DrodoEmpire | The reason I say they might be good colonial troops is that tercios, while unstoppable when in the right environment, are inflexible |
| 22:44.45 | DrodoEmpire | They need relatively flat ground and it needs to be a pitched battle to be worth it |
| 22:45.04 | DrodoEmpire | Swordsmen can be used anywhere and in limited engagement |
| 22:45.07 | DrodoEmpire | *engagements |
| 22:45.22 | DrodoEmpire | I figure in a lot of cases pikemen may also trade in their pikes for polearms as well |
| 22:45.40 | DrodoEmpire | During patrols, or in said limited engagements |
| 22:46.26 | DrodoEmpire | So it doesn't much matter that they're no good in a pitched battle, thanks to how vulnerable they are to cavalry and firearms, as they're great during skirmishes and fights in rough terrain against technologically-inferior enemies |

| 23:08.13 | DrodoEmpire | Two-handed swords are a pretty stark relic of the 16th century, though |
| 23:08.16 | DrodoEmpire | Early pike-and-shot |
| 23:08.21 | DrodoEmpire | So I might nix them |
| 23:09.14 | DrodoEmpire | (They ceased to be used in a battlefield application by the 1550s, and while sword-and-buckler men were more or less obsolete by the 1530s I don't see longswordsmen having the same usefulness in overseas conflicts) |
| 23:10.37 | DrodoEmpire | I could have Halifaxia be in a transitional period, i guess |
| 23:10.38 | DrodoEmpire | *I |
| 23:11.08 | DrodoEmpire | Where they're beginning to phase out stuff like longswordsmen as muskets become more advanced and pikes become more standardised |
| 23:11.18 | DrodoEmpire | And cavalry begin to be deadly again, and so on |
| 23:12.03 | Tybusen | Sounds roughly like Renaissance Europe warfare |
| 23:12.29 | DrodoEmpire | That's exactly what it is <.< |
| 23:12.43 | DrodoEmpire | Early-modern period Europe is more or less what the Drodo Territories are based around |
| 23:12.49 | DrodoEmpire | Very loosely |
| 23:13.55 | DrodoEmpire | I've made Halifaxia in particular be a very close study of early modern warfare |
