09:21.26HachimanHi
09:21.41GhelaeHello.
10:33.16HachimanGhelae: How do you reckon life would be like for a young adult who suffers from, to some degree, an absence of the concept of object permanence?
10:34.06GhelaeI imagine it would be difficult.
10:34.27GhelaeNot knowing where food is kept in the house because they don't realise it continues to exist once they've shut the fridge door.
10:34.55GhelaeThinking that the people they know disappear once they go out of sight.
10:35.45GhelaeGenerally not knowing that something exists when you're not looking for it, such that they wouldn't even think to look for it.
10:36.34HachimanI've just been fascinated by this concept and I wanted to know what sorta consequences there would be for a character who suffers from this kinda thing
10:36.39GhelaeThe whole concept of storage makes no sense unless they counteract their lack of object permanence by also thinking that storage magically produces things.
10:36.44HachimanOr if this kinda thing actually happens to people irl
10:37.11GhelaeSo I suppose you would look in a fridge for food if, rather than object permanence, you believe that food is produced by fridges.
10:37.27GhelaeBut then you'd never restock your house. You'd never put money in your wallet, etc.
10:37.34HachimanHm, that's a curious thought
10:37.43HachimanI'd suppose you would HAVE to live with assistance
10:38.06GhelaeYou might also never think to empty your bins, except for bins without lins.
10:39.03GhelaePockets might work, if you can always feel that they've got something in them when they're against your skin.
10:39.41GhelaeYou'd always have to make sure to take everything out of them before taking your coat/clothes off, lest they disappear.
10:39.52Ghelaelest the things in them disappear*
10:41.01HachimanYeah makes sense
10:41.17HachimanMan that's really gotta suck

11:04.48MethanogenHi there ghelae
11:05.24HachimanHi
11:05.39DrodoEmpireHi
11:05.39MethanogenHey hachiman
11:05.42MethanogenI've said hi a lot
11:05.47DrodoEmpirelol
11:06.04MethanogenShould I just do it once?
11:06.12DrodoEmpirehttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:221019 - uh
11:06.20DrodoEmpireI don't suppose anybody knows Korean?
11:06.38MethanogenI don't
11:07.02HachimanImp should
11:07.22HachimanMethanogen: Eh I'd just say hi once for all the people present, but say hi for any people that enter after you or something
11:07.24HachimanIt's what I do
11:07.41MethanogenThat makes sense
11:12.15MethanogenRandom question: what's the weirdest alien you've seen on the wiki?
11:12.59DrodoEmpireHm
11:13.10DrodoEmpireTough question
11:13.14DrodoEmpireHow do you mean?
11:13.24DrodoEmpireIn terms of culture, or biology, or...
11:14.25MethanogenIn terms of anything really
11:14.33DrodoEmpireHm.
11:15.03DrodoEmpireWell the Dyson Trees are probably up there
11:15.10MethanogenHonestly I'm basically looking for potential inspiration and such
11:15.13DrodoEmpireIn terms of biology
11:15.17MethanogenThose sound weird already
11:15.37DrodoEmpireCulturally well, not to jerk myself off but the Drodo, and along a similar vein the Draconis
11:15.51MethanogenI see
11:16.21MethanogenI haven't developed much of my species culturally yet
11:16.28MethanogenI'm doing the biology part first
11:17.11DrodoEmpire>Oluap deletes the Korean message from the forum
11:17.44DrodoEmpireR A C I S S
11:17.53MethanogenI just a vague idea of what my fiction may look like culturally
11:17.57DrodoEmpireAhh
11:18.27HachimanTo be fair, it's part of our rules that stuff be approached in English
11:18.38MethanogenGot to sort out the details and such
11:18.41DrodoEmpireYeah yeah I know hur
11:18.50HachimanAnd whatever foreign messages we've had in the past have usually been either shitposting or advertisement
11:18.55DrodoEmpireTrue
11:19.22MethanogenI guess deletion makes sense then
11:19.26DrodoEmpireYeah it had a bit.ly that I didn't click, I guess Oluap did or figured it was an ad
11:19.30DrodoEmpireOr
11:19.34DrodoEmpirehe hates Koreans
11:19.37DrodoEmpireTake your pick
11:19.38DrodoEmpire<.<
11:20.29MethanogenIs racism common here? In terms of fiction I mean?
11:20.46DrodoEmpireI mean I was joking >.<
11:21.04HachimanAh, racism in fiction? It's... not an entirely prominent theme
11:21.05DrodoEmpireBut ethnic tensions are not terribly uncommon
11:21.18DrodoEmpireBut at the same time, yeah not a prominent thing most of the time
11:21.29HachimanA lot of larger fictions are actually multicultural and multi-species so
11:21.30MethanogenInteresting to know
11:21.37MethanogenMakes sense
11:21.43MethanogenMine are single species so far
11:22.24DrodoEmpireThe one major example of ethnic or cultural conflict within a state would be, again, my fiction the Drodo :p
11:22.32MethanogenBiology first approach tends to cause that I guess
11:22.39DrodoEmpireRight
11:22.41MethanogenThey have an ethnic conflict now?
11:22.55DrodoEmpireWell, not just one and it isn't just now
11:23.26MethanogenMine...I haven't decided yet honestly
11:23.27DrodoEmpireThe Drodo Empire is overwhelmingly composed of just one humanoid species, the Drodo, but they're split along literal hundreds of cultural and ethnic and family lines
11:23.35MethanogenAh
11:24.03DrodoEmpireThe Empire is somewhat-shaky in this regard and exists because the federal government is always careful not to force its hand -too- much
11:24.06MethanogenSo they lots of conflict over that
11:24.08HachimanYeah; cus Drodo is too lazy to work on other alien races
11:24.14DrodoEmpire>:
11:24.18Hachimanu kno its tru
11:24.31HachimanAt least you're not too lazy to work at all like I am hur
11:24.32MethanogenI'm the opposite
11:24.45MethanogenI like making various aliens
11:25.03DrodoEmpireMethanogen: Well, the conflict itself isn't always that intense, so its not like its unstable or anarchic
11:25.04HachimanI like how you describe your aliens' biology, I gotta say
11:25.12MethanogenThough my creator skills aren't good
11:25.12DrodoEmpireBut yeah
11:25.13MethanogenThanks
11:25.55MethanogenAlthough biology is all I have really so far
11:26.23MethanogenMy societies will probably be a little xenophobic given the fact that touching someone of another race will probably kill both of them
11:26.29DrodoEmpireAhh
11:26.52MethanogenThere's always technology to help with that sort of thing I suppose
11:27.04DrodoEmpireI can probably help a little with society stuff or history, and I could -definitely- help with war related things here and there
11:27.16DrodoEmpireI'm not an expert in any of these things but they're hobbies I suppose
11:27.20MethanogenI'd appreciate any help I can get
11:27.26DrodoEmpireCool cool
11:27.36MethanogenI'm not an expert on biology or chemistry by any means but like talking about them I guess
11:27.47HachimanI dunno really what I'm good for; literary stuff, I suppose? Character stuff? I dunno
11:27.51MethanogenIt makes aliens seem more alien to me
11:27.58DrodoEmpireHachiman: Yeah for sure
11:28.14MethanogenHaven't even thought of characters yet
11:28.42MethanogenThat's probably going to be my weakness
11:29.32HachimanAh it's fine
11:29.33DrodoEmpireIts sorta mine to be honest
11:29.40DrodoEmpireSo we're in the same boat there >.<
11:29.57MethanogenIt is? How so?
11:29.58HachimanI like to think of myself as being able to write characters at least decently
11:30.22DrodoEmpireWell I've never been able to seriously develop a "roster" of characters and get them out to do things
11:30.28MethanogenAh
11:30.41MethanogenI'm probably more of a large scale event person myself
11:30.59DrodoEmpireUsually because they got too old for something to make sense, or I tied them down with political/other obligations
11:30.59MethanogenThough I guess I might be able to develop characters to a very limited degree of decency
11:31.03HachimanWe have a good blend of both large-scale and character-driven stuff
11:31.06DrodoEmpire^
11:31.09MethanogenAh
11:31.14DrodoEmpireThere's something for everybody
11:31.15MethanogenWell variety is always good
11:31.36HachimanYeah; Fictionverse is actually a fairly diverse setting
11:32.06MethanogenAny major stuff happening at the moment?
11:32.17DrodoEmpireHmm
11:32.23HachimanYou can find both humanoid aliens and space fantasy alongside exotic xenobiologies and lots of hard sci-fi elements in the same universe
11:32.47MethanogenTrue you can
11:33.05MethanogenMine seem to be in the exotic xenobiolgy category mostly
11:34.37MethanogenI guess some people like to detail every aspect of their races and others make them and just sort of give a brief description of really important features and that's it
11:36.25MethanogenI personally lean towards the former but I understand why some people prefer to focus more and society and actual events and technology and character etc
11:37.03HachimanIt's ideal that people write to their strengths really
11:37.24HachimanAlthough as of recent we have had some overlap and people experimenting and whatnot
11:37.33MethanogenTrue
11:37.50MethanogenWell you have to try overcome weakness eventually
11:39.16HachimanThat's a good mindset, I like that
11:39.23HachimanI think you'll fit in here
11:40.02MethanogenI'm glad that's the case
11:41.25MethanogenSpeaking of weakness, Hachi, what do you believe to be yours? Mine is characters and not getting distracted by a million random ideas
11:42.17HachimanHm
11:42.26HachimanI do believe I suffer that latter weakness
11:42.34HachimanI get distracted and preoccupied all the time
11:42.44MethanogenI'm guessing it's a common one
11:42.48HachimanAnd I can barely focus on a single idea
11:42.55MethanogenI get a billion ideas and end up merging a lot of them together
11:43.11HachimanI also have a tendency to overwrite when I do work
11:43.21HachimanI generally feel I bite off more than I can chew at times
11:43.27MethanogenMy other weakness is being bad at creating stuff that actually looks good
11:43.28MethanogenAh

11:43.40MethanogenI can understand that happening
11:43.41MethanogenHi
11:43.59HachimanHi
11:44.52OluapPlayerHi
11:45.58MethanogenI just hope to make for my weaknesses by at least having interesting writing
11:46.43HachimanOh you do have interesting writing, definitely
11:47.07MethanogenReally? I'm glad you think so
11:47.27HachimanLike I said, don't be afraid to ask people for help with stuff in regards to the stuff you think you're weak at writing about
11:47.44HachimanCompensating for your weakness with others' strengths and all that
11:47.57MethanogenYes I'll make sure to remember to do that
11:48.23HachimanLike how I compensate for Oluap being shit by being good and how he compensates for me being lazy with being too active for his own good
11:48.53MethanogenSounds like an interesting combination
11:51.26OluapPlayerRUDE
11:51.40Hachimanu kno its tru tho
11:52.52MethanogenI wonder what war would be like between two species who could kill each other using their equivalent of water guns. Random thought there
11:53.37HachimanDepends if the contents of their water guns would be capable of destabilizing the chemistry of the opposing race
11:53.50MethanogenWell m
11:54.01Methanogen*well my species has sulfuric acid
11:54.15MethanogenBut they'd die to water
11:54.40NeonPandamy strength is by far my ability to describe things
11:54.44OluapPlayerThey should be preferably not running around the water gun battlefield naked
11:54.50OluapPlayernot be even
11:55.07NeonPandanormally this goes into unnecessary detail regarding gore, but yeah
11:55.19HachimanGore or boobs
11:55.24HachimanSometimes both
11:55.31NeonPandaI don't think both has happened yet
11:55.38MethanogenSo far I've decided to use shielding technology to help with the whole "don't die by landing on the universes most common seeming planet" thing
11:55.42OluapPlayerboth is bad
11:55.57NeonPandathe closest so far is boobs while cleaning off gore
11:56.12OluapPlayerdisgustin m8
11:56.18MethanogenNothing of mine has the latter of those so far
11:56.28HachimanThere is still time
11:56.28Hachimankek
11:56.39HachimanNah I'm kidding
11:56.50MethanogenThey're a very specific adaptation
11:57.03MethanogenHeck so far I don't even have separate genders I'm pretty sure
11:57.03HachimanI mean
11:57.09HachimanThat's one way of describing them
11:58.06MethanogenI suppose against some opponents they could serve as a method of distraction
11:58.23HachimanI have an entire character based around that
11:58.29HachimanPlease don't stoop to my level hur
11:58.58MethanogenSo far I don't have much worry over that
11:59.53NeonPandathe first step of fixing a problem is acknowledging you have a problem
11:59.58MethanogenMy species would probably just wonder how they developed vulnerable exposed areas to attack, though then again they can be killed with water guns
12:00.09NeonPandaI've so far managed to avoid the "everything has boobs" trope
12:00.23MethanogenTrue
12:00.27OluapPlayerI only put boobs on things where boobs make sense
12:00.32MethanogenAs have I for all my two days here
12:00.35OluapPlayerHachi would put boobs on bees if he could
12:00.55NeonPandaHachi probably HAS put boobs on bees
12:01.08HachimanI can neither confirm or deny
12:01.31Hachimaninb4 NOT THE BEEEEES
12:01.35OluapPlayerAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

15:57.08OluapPlayercyrannus galaxy in a nutshell
16:03.24Cyranniany sporewiki not have the fancy spancy new wiki layout
16:06.47OluapPlayerThere's a new layout?
16:07.52Cyrannianhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity - A new header, and I think everything's a bit wider too
16:08.38ImperiosWe're conservatives aren't we?
16:10.30OluapPlayerMaybe someone needs to manually enable it
16:10.35OluapPlayerThat's probably Jo's business
16:10.42CyrannianI can't see the option to do so in the Wiki Features thing
16:12.38CyrannianThough there's a couple of features there that could be interesting to try out
16:17.04CyrannianHm, does anyone think we should enable blogs again?
16:20.15HachimanUh no?
16:22.08CyrannianI can't really remember why they were disabled in the first place, though it might have had something to do with the new Forums
16:22.13OluapPlayerConsidering we already agreed to disable them, no
16:22.30OluapPlayerThe forums make blogs redundant
16:30.08CyrannianGoing by other wikis with both enabled, forums are for topics related to the wiki, or should be at least, while blogs provide users with the ability to express their opinions
16:31.53HachimanImperios: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Steel_of_the_Plagued_Land#Chapter_6:_Trial_I_-_The_Omega_Predator New chapter
16:32.06OluapPlayerI don't see the point. If you want them back so much then you should discuss with Jo, since she was the one who wanted blogs gone the most
16:33.11CyrannianI'm not saying that I want them back so much, I just don't see the harm in enabling them
16:34.03HachimanF5 that

16:52.34ImperiosHachiman: Wow, so the purple bird does not just kill things but mutate them too
16:53.07HachimanNot really mutate
16:53.18HachimanMore like life changed to adapt of its own accord
16:53.38HachimanIt's an indirect result of Xitannoth's influence rather than Xitannoth mutating them directly

18:17.47Wormydroid50000 agents sounds like a lot, but moderately sized trainstations can see 10000 people run through the system a day
18:18.12WormydroidAnd its very poor for when it comes to ecological modelling
18:19.23HachimanImperios: How do you reckon you could get an average reader new to fantasy to sympathize with a character like a mage or whatnot? You know, an outsider relating to someone with supernatural or extraordinary abilities and whatnot
18:19.36WormydroidSheep and wolves model only runs for a few moments lol, especially if populations get high
18:19.38HachimanIt's a thought that just occurred to me
18:20.48WormydroidWell, I often like mage characters
18:20.55WormydroidLike the Seer
18:21.10HachimanYeah, but can you *relate* to the Seer?
18:21.30WormydroidYeah
18:21.47HachimanHow are you supposed to relate to a character who can practice magic or knows how to wield a weapon when your average might not?
18:21.50WormydroidSpent my life feeling like ab outsider :(
18:21.51Hachiman*average reader
18:22.11GhelaeGive them a relateable personality?
18:22.17HachimanI mean, there is that
18:23.27HachimanI've just thought of it because I read someone saying that they find it difficult to relate to main characters in video games who demonstrate extraordinary abilities like martial arts training, swordsmanship / gun mastery, magic, etc.

18:25.14GhelaeWith a game, it's probably more difficult, since if most of your experience with the character is the gameplay, it'll feel like the abilities are the main feature of their character.
18:25.15Wormydroid_Sorry, didn't read "average"
18:26.07Wormydroid_Well in game design there's a tradeoff between empathy and agency
18:26.18Wormydroid_When it comes to characters
18:26.37Wormydroid_Its hard to emphasise with a character if you have all the agency
18:27.18Wormydroid_In games with very linear stories you can design a narrative that gives empathy
18:27.48Wormydroid_This isn't an absolute of course
18:27.55Hachimanbrb dinner
18:28.42Wormydroid_Empathise
18:30.28Wormydroid_I felt empathy to my Spore empires even though I had a lot of agency, becayse I cpuld construct my own story
18:30.38GhelaeIt's easy to imagine that there's at best a balance between relatability and gameplay. At the most extreme, you can have a game with no storyline at all, in which a character will struggle to relatable even without any special abilities. At the other extreme, you have non-interactive media like films, books, etc., where characters can be easily relatable but obviously there's no gameplay.
18:35.52ImperiosHachiman: THe most important thing is immersing a character slowly
18:35.56Wormydroid_Games without much story tend to be ones that focus on the agency of the player (even if there's not a lot of procedures in the game)
18:36.06ImperiosIntroducing different parts of the world over time
18:36.10ImperiosHarry Potter does that really well
18:37.19Wormydroid_Fallout games look at first glance to have high agency, but the stories branch with little variation when it comes to the end state
18:38.49Wormydroid_And all branch from the same premise - which starts with empathy fir the lone wanderer
18:39.16Wormydroid_Well I can only sprak of the last 2
18:39.19Wormydroid_Speak
18:42.31Wormydroid_Funny this conversation is happening, because I'm analysing a game without much of either for a report - velocity raptor, though I think it has a bigger agency ratio
18:43.58Wormydroid_Impy yeah slowly introducing exploration and diversity of challenges (and conflict eith the rules of the game) goes a long way
18:44.23Wormydroid_In keeping players interested and stimulated
18:44.38CyrannianVelocity raptor?
18:45.10Wormydroid_Check it out, its a browser game with Special Relativity
18:46.02Wormydroid_In Fallout 4 if I don't increase the hardness at this point I'll get bored of it, becayse I'm findibg nothibg very challenging anymore
18:46.50CyrannianI found Fallout 4 quite hard to get into compared to Skyrim
18:47.26Wormydroid_I fell in love with Fallout's universe very quickly
18:47.48Wormydroid_But yeah its hard to know where to start
18:48.11CyrannianDo you play with mods?
18:48.29Wormydroid_I haven't bothered
18:48.34Wormydroid_Nor with the dlcs yet
18:48.53CyrannianI tried a couple on the Xbone, but I might disable them next time I play

20:49.46Methanogen_Ah I see
20:50.14Methanogen_My connection or something stuffed up hence the double names
20:50.33Methanogen_I like making very alien aliens
20:51.01DrodoEmpireI tend to play fast and loose with the technology of sci-fi in preference with the social or warfare aspects
20:51.36Methanogen_I've still got to make my societies
20:51.42DrodoEmpireMuch of the Drodo, in their cultures, traditions, ways of doing things, etc. are based around history
20:52.02Wormy_chopplanetary science, exotic biochemistries and alien psychologies, big bad weapons based on extremes in the laws of physics, megastructural engineering, posthuman conditions, multiverses, philosophical themes play host in most of my fictions, even in collaborative stories
20:52.47MethanogenThat's quite a few things
20:52.56Wormy_chopbut I also have a small amount of characters in the Delpha Coalition which have quite a lot of drama and stuff going on
20:53.56MethanogenI see so you have a lot of different stuff there
20:54.05Wormy_chopI also have had magical and mythological themes emerging lately
20:54.55MethanogenI don't have many themes yet but I'm new so yeah
20:56.21Wormy_chopIf you're interested in making alien biology there might be some room for interaction with my fiction
20:56.31Wormy_chopThough I'm less active now
20:56.52MethanogenI'll definitely consider it
21:01.17Wormy_chopI've been doing fiction here since 2008
21:01.24Wormy_chopSo yeah it takes time
21:01.27MethanogenThat's a long time
21:01.46Wormy_chopA lot of my pages are woefully outdated and need some polish
21:02.02MethanogenYou probably have a million of them
21:02.07MethanogenThat's hard to manage

23:38.13MonetOh much larger.
23:38.35MonetStormwind is supposed to be a city of about 200,000.
23:39.19OluapPlayerActually I remember reading about an inconsistency with Stormwind and Orgrimmar's numbers
23:41.11OluapPlayerSeems to be gone from the Wowwiki now but there was some text which implied Orgrimmarhad only a fraction of Stormwind's population
23:41.18OluapPlayerGuess they realized it was wrong
23:41.22MonetWell if we were to compare, I found a census that London was comparable to Stormwind in 1600
23:41.27Monethttp://www.medart.pitt.edu/image/england/london/maps-of-london/Map-London-Norden-1593-b.jpg it was this bug
23:41.39Monetbig*
23:41.55OluapPlayerIt also implied there were more high elves in Stormwind than blood elves in Quel'Thalas
23:42.49MonetSO Stormwind as we see it in the Warcraft movie is about the right size.
23:45.09MonetAnd yeah those that didn't die to Arthas' scourge or didn't join Kael'Thas fully fled to Stormwind.
23:45.26OluapPlayerSeems a bit weird though
23:45.51OluapPlayerYou'd expect Quel'Thalas to have more elves than the human capital
23:47.04MonetWell, a lot of Blood Elves did join Kael'Thas to Outland.
23:48.37MonetI recall Alleria Windrunner, Sylvanas' sister is a guest in Stormwind Keep.
23:48.58MonetI'll bet a number of elves followed her after the razing of QUel'Thalas.
23:50.46OluapPlayerYou're confusing her with Vereesa. Alleria has been gone since Warcraft 2
23:51.49OluapPlayerBut chances are we'll find her when we go to Argus
23:51.50MonetStupid Windrunners and all their sisters.
