00:21.59dromIt has been one hour and I am not in bed, YET
00:48.50Wormy_semi_hereMonet, Liquid_Ink, DrodoEmpire:  Linnormr http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:LinnormrFinal.png  Tell me if the blue halo is visible on your monitors.
00:49.13DrodoEmpireIf I get what you mean, then yep
00:49.46Wormy_semi_herecool
00:49.49Wormy_semi_hereAnd stars?
00:49.57Liquid_InkYes
00:50.50Wormy_semi_hereAwesome
00:53.32Wormy_semi_hereLooks like a brilliant skiiing resort imo
01:03.23DrodoEmpireCould be yaeh
01:03.25DrodoEmpire*yeah
01:05.02MonetThe stars are faint but they're there
01:05.31DrodoEmpire^
01:13.08Wormy_semi_hereGood, I was playing with blending modes, that one cut down the the harshness of the halo.  I brightened the stars but I didn't want them too bright, since they shouldn't be very visible in such a glare
01:13.17DrodoEmpireAhh
01:13.50Wormy_semi_hereBut of course they disappear if the image is small or on certain browser settings
01:14.10Wormy_semi_hereIf enough people couldn't see those features at all I'd make it brighter
01:16.00DrodoEmpireJust read the page
01:16.03DrodoEmpirePretty awesome
01:16.45DrodoEmpireShould definitely be used as a setting in a fiction-- maybe with Timonax?
01:17.01DrodoEmpireSpeaking of-- would you want to work on Chapter Three Wormy?
01:17.35Wormy_semi_hereThat would be great.  I imagine Linnormr is currently lacking in women, so the Vikings might want to go raiding for them
01:17.46Wormy_semi_hereI can now, yes
01:17.46DrodoEmpireTrue
01:17.49DrodoEmpireAwesome
01:22.29Tek0516Maybe I'll work on another Roreinia chapter

15:08.55NeonPandahi all
15:09.39NeonPandaHachiman: so Fracture of Biel-Tan is out, sure enough craftworld gone crack and Iyanden almost went with it
15:18.23HachimanShit
15:19.47NeonPandaPrince Yriel died and then un-died
15:20.09NeonPandaand in other news, turns out the Ynnari have four of the five Croneswords, and at that only four because one of them wasn't where it was supposed to be
15:21.06NeonPandaalso, Vect and the Haemonculi are verymuch opposed to the Ynnari, but Lelith has straight up said "look, if you guys are legit I'm all in"
15:21.43Wormy_Hachiman, Monet, Ghelae:  "Science with Kylo Ren" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjsMV1MglA4
15:21.57HachimanNeonPanda: Interesting on Lelith's part
15:22.08NeonPandaand Yvraine and her followers are indeed capable of bringing wraith-constructs to full sentience, such that they move with the speed and grace of living Eldar
15:22.32NeonPandain fact, most of them have started taking up their old names and family runes, organising into full on family ghost-houses
15:23.11NeonPandaand gdi I want to play a pathfinder character based on them now XD
15:24.05NeonPandabut it'd have to be for the right kind of campaign
15:24.20HachimanAs in, Lelith Hesperax?
15:26.13NeonPandaLelith Hesperax, queen of wyches, yes- she sent a cohort of her Wyches to support Yvraine, and if what she claims is true then Lelith has offered to put the full force of the Cult of Strife behind the Ynnari
15:26.21NeonPandaif what Yvraine claims is true*
15:27.02HachimanMakes sense
15:28.13NeonPandatbh it's almost entirely self-centred at the heart, but hey Yvraine will take the support
15:29.40NeonPandaoh yeah, and the Ynnari have some pretty fucking dirty rules
15:29.54NeonPandalike they're not OP in a vacuum, but the potential applications for the clever are delicious
15:36.40Wormy_Hachiman: Just noticed Jack in the new trailer doesn't have his magic sword
15:36.49HachimanOoh
15:37.00Wormy_That probably means some quest to find it once he regains his purpose
15:37.05HachimanYeah
15:37.18HachimanPerhaps Aku or one of his servants has corrupted his sword, or its been destroyed
15:37.45Wormy_Yeah, meaning he'd have to find a new weapon to defeat Aku
15:37.54Wormy_Maybe that's why he gave up and went into hiding
15:37.57NeonPandathat or he weeb-magics it to purity again
15:38.24HachimanI like the idea of Jack being a master of multiple weapon forms
15:38.30HachimanI mean, that's what he canonically is
15:38.48Wormy_yeah
15:39.50HachimanHe travelled the world in his youth studying under a number of cultures and societies about different martial forms, being tutored by the likes of Samurai in his homeland, Shaolin monks, African warriors, etc
15:40.10HachimanAnd he's adapted fairly well to the martial forms and styles of the future as well I think
15:40.40NeonPandaand apparently he's not a half-bad dancer
15:40.54HachimanOne thing I hope for is that Aku is still an entertaining villain
15:41.37HachimanThe premise of the new season seems fairly dark and grim but hopefully there is humour underlying
15:41.57HachimanIt looks like it's still gonna be fairly artsy though, which is good
15:43.53OluapPlayerSHAPESHIFTING MASTER OF DAAARKNESS
15:44.15HachimanAN UNSPEEEEAKABLE EEEVILLL
15:44.30NeonPandaand reading really, really bad bedtime stories to children
15:44.45Wormy_http://i.imgur.com/yZdBYY1.jpg
15:45.32Hachimanhur
15:46.34HachimanI wonder what alignment Aku would adhere to on the alignment chart
15:46.42NeonPandaNE or LE imo
15:47.09NeonPandaI'd probably say NE cos while he does rule with an iron fist, his reality isn't exactly the most ordered
15:47.32HachimanYeah, that makes sense
15:47.33Wormy_bridge sandwich, literally http://imgur.com/gallery/nMBmT
15:47.56HachimanPlus he isn't the most lawful person himself since he cheats and swindles to survive and overcome Jack

17:59.44XhoWormy_away: Maybe you should make a species of precursors based on the Löwenmensch figurine
18:01.52Wormy_awayHm, not heard of that one, a "lion man"
18:02.07Xhohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-man Oldest discovered piece of human art
18:02.20Wormy_awayWell the prehistoric version of Rights of Earth will revisit the Aurignacian culture
18:02.47Wormy_awayAnd precursors were actively taking interest
18:17.49XhoWormy_away: Ever listened to Leprous
18:17.52GhelaeIf you want to continue the theme of basing Precursors on races reported by alleged UFO abductees/contactees, it probably won't surprise you to know that cat-people (and indeed specifically lion-people) are amongst them.
18:18.17Wormy_awayI haven't
18:19.02Wormy_awayYes, I've heard of contactees being feline-humanoids
18:19.47CyrannianI wonder if there are reports of canine-humanoids
18:19.50Wormy_awayProbably when I used to watch compilations of poorly illustrated aliens on Youtube
18:20.09CyrannianLike a human-shih-tzu hybrid
18:21.26Wormy_awayGhelae:  I think I might have found a version of the dog alien story, although not in France as I remember it http://karlshuker.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/my-top-ten-strangest-aliens-close.html
18:21.49Wormy_awayThere's some others there too, like the "vegetable man"
18:21.56Wormy_awaybut stil humanoid
18:22.19Wormy_awayI'm not going to browse that tonight as I'll be on my own
18:22.48Ghelaehas a look
18:23.10GhelaeCyrannian: Canine humanoids are common, but not usually interpreted as aliens.
18:23.25CyrannianJust a particularly exotic dog breed
18:23.46Xhoanubis was an outside job #staywoke #polytheism
18:24.07Wormy_awayShit I can't help myself but read it
18:24.18GhelaeWerewolves, usually.
18:26.05GhelaeBasically, for most people, if they see something glowy and weird in the sky, they assume it's an alien spaceship; if they see it in a graveyard or creepy old building, they assume it's a spirit of the dead. Likewise, if they see a weird humanoid creature, if they see it with a UFO they assume it's an alien, and otherwise they think it's a cryptid or paranormal entity.
18:28.34GhelaeWormy_away: So the non-humanoids there are the brains, "crazy critter", jelly bags, and tripod (which I've seen referred to with names like "the Enfield horror").
18:29.08Wormy_awayWhat's the Enfield horror?
18:29.32Ghelae"THE TRIPODAL TERROR OF WABASH RIVER VALLEY"
18:29.58GhelaeOut of the other three, two are limbless blobs. Must be inconvenient being one of them.
18:30.38Wormy_awaylol
18:30.50Ghelae"FLYING JELLY BAGS AHOY!" is suspiciously two months later than the cinematic release of The Blob.
18:30.52Wormy_awayNon-humanoid depictions of aliens are really quire rare
18:31.39Wormy_awayAlso, it turns out the Flatwoods Monster proceeds an edition of a popular comic book with strikingly similar aliens.
18:32.42Wormy_awayHm I don't want to come across vegetable man
18:35.29Wormy_awayWhy would human blood be any use to it's biology?
18:44.35GhelaeOne of the comments blames it on The Thing: "The vegetable man sounds very familiar. The 1951 film The Thing from Another World has a blood sucking vegetable man alien attacking an Arctic base."
18:44.44Ghelaei.e. another report based on a movie.
18:48.31GhelaeThere is a much longer time between the film and the report, so it's not quite as suspicious as the blob-aliens, though.
18:57.53Wormy_awayRegarding one of the comments above, it seems to me that most people don't see ghosts and UFOs, or spirits / faeries and aliens
18:59.10Wormy_awayThough there are commonalities in themes between forteana, the outer appearance seem to be suited to particular people
19:00.12Wormy_awayI know people who experienced a lot of "nature spirit" type entities and never seen the paranormal manifest as UFOs or aliens
19:01.06Wormy_awayIt all implies a psychological cause to me, based on people's beliefs and so on
19:02.02Wormy_awayPsychic experiences wuld be a more common theme linking them all in many cases./
19:03.55Wormy_awayAnd I should say one of those people had a strong interest in UFOs at the time they were experiences these spiritual apparitions
19:51.02Tek0516Ugh. So now Wikia even gives me messages about using adblockers. I thought the video ads I already got anyway were bad enough.
19:52.27Tek0516(I got pop-up video ads for f***ing "Fifty Shades Darker" (or whatever that s*** is called) on Wikia the other days.)

23:12.09Wormy_My method of making Linnormr involved a simple ring shape, with a bump map (fakes 3D) using fractal textures to generate mountains and ridges, and a surface shader for the halo effect.  The rest was again, digital post-processing
23:13.08Wormy_I wanted to use particles to create orbiting icebergs, but they weren't behaving very well this time.
