00:04.24 | Monet | Anyway Andromeda. |
00:04.42 | Monet | A quick cursory glance slightly disappointed by the main species. |
00:05.27 | Monet | Kett are dogmatic space Romans that use slave armies and the Anagarans are touchy-feely space hippies who live in communes. |
00:05.59 | Monet | Although the wiki -does- mention they have between 200-300 languages so points to Bioware for including a detail often overlooked in sci-fi |
00:06.09 | DrodoEmpire | That's cool |
00:06.25 | DrodoEmpire | I'm really sick of the trope of one species equalling one culture |
00:08.29 | Monet | It does kind of mean a a result that the story is a Dances with Wolves kind of thing. |
00:09.41 | Monet | Also Kett soldiers have unit names like "anointed" and "chosen" |

00:31.56 | Wormy_away | Now I'm above it, but the align with chevrons indicators disappeared |
00:32.07 | Tek0516 | You want to take it gentle and slow, try and keep it below 10m/s. And use the map and the bottom for alignment. |
00:32.50 | Monet | I'll admit, Andromeda is ambitious |
00:32.55 | Tek0516 | *at the bottom |
00:33.52 | Monet | Including this mechanic where you can build a defined personality based on conversation choices. |
00:34.19 | Monet | Act snarky all the time for instance and all your responses can become more snarky. |
00:35.18 | Tek0516 | huh |
00:41.33 | Monet | I always liked how Bioware deconstructed standard alien tropes |

01:07.36 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: I was considering updating the Katar map while I do some Farengeto updates. It's weird looking at that map after so long and wondering what's even canon on it anymore. XD |
01:07.46 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
01:12.27 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: ...I just noticed this is the Katar map on the page. http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Seriously_People_Update_The_Map.png |
01:12.42 | DrodoEmpire | lmao |

01:13.51 | Tek0516 | The most I have ATM is one with stuff labelled "Post-GXS" so that's something but still a decade out of date. XD |
01:14.51 | Monet | What's with the grid? |
01:15.59 | Tek0516 | Monet: OfficerJackal forcibly removing his empires |
01:16.32 | AtsyBoi | Was just gonna ask |
01:16.42 | Tek0516 | Hence the file name. |
01:20.32 | AtsyBoi | gonna replace one of Jackal's areas with the Sarillian Empire, k? |
01:20.41 | Tek0516 | No. |
01:20.49 | AtsyBoi | "areas" |
01:20.50 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah, no. |
01:20.59 | AtsyBoi | one of the grid spots |
01:21.00 | DrodoEmpire | And we're telling you you aren't |
01:21.22 | Tek0516 | I am the official keeper of the Katar map and say no. |
01:21.28 | AtsyBoi | oh |
01:21.28 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
01:21.28 | AtsyBoi | ok |
01:21.47 | DrodoEmpire | If you want to do that, that'll require further discussion. |
01:21.59 | AtsyBoi | may i at least have the SE in the map at any point? |
01:22.34 | Tek0516 | If for no other reason than one is still technically OfficerJackal's, and the other is probably going to be at least partially filled in by Drodo. |
01:22.53 | DrodoEmpire | Get the SE figured out and written first, then we could talk >.< |
01:23.00 | DrodoEmpire | Or rather, started |
01:23.14 | Tek0516 | Katar also has some special rules in claiming in it. |
01:23.43 | AtsyBoi | hm? |
01:25.03 | AtsyBoi | can you please explain them? |
01:25.07 | Tek0516 | Katar Sector is an owned region. You can't just claim it like the rest of the Milky Way. |
01:26.21 | DrodoEmpire | ...Though, its original purpose -was- as a ground for new fictions |
01:26.30 | AtsyBoi | Oh |
01:26.35 | DrodoEmpire | So maybe you shouldn't be too restrictive |
01:26.54 | DrodoEmpire | That, or we abolish it as a distinct region of its own and give up ownership |
01:27.28 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: Though it's also supposed to be for smaller fictions which I'm not sure Atsyboi would want anyway |
01:27.53 | DrodoEmpire | Let him speak for himself |
01:28.33 | Tek0516 | Just for continuity sake I'd rather not add anything large to Katar. |
01:28.56 | AtsyBoi | I'll settle just outside |
01:30.23 | Tek0516 | We can revisit once you have something more concrete though. |
01:34.29 | Tek0516 | That map is also really out of date in the first place. |

03:47.44 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: I do occasionally wonder what's happened to the Katar Sector Alliance by now in the 2820s. |
03:50.23 | DrodoEmpire | Probably defunct |
03:51.03 | DrodoEmpire | Or de facto the Drodo-Farengeto alliance with some tiny satellites |
03:52.33 | Tek0516 | Basically all its members now except the Farengeto and Drodo are defunct, declined in relative power, or faded in activity |
04:03.34 | Tek0516 | Though I imagine if it still exists Farengeto would have had to force a structural change, since the Drodo had twice the voting power at the most recent canon. |

07:30.00 | Tybusen | A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one |
07:52.37 | ImpyDroid | Tybusen: What is Trump up to nowadays? I have not heard of him in a while. |
07:54.39 | Tybusen | Other than the ongoing investigation on the Trump-Russia collusion stuff, nothing too much out of the ordinary I guess |
07:54.48 | Tybusen | By ordinary I mean ordinary by Trump standards |
07:55.14 | Tybusen | The effort to repeal Obamacare failed a couple weeks ago I think |
07:55.15 | Liquid_Ink | He's also introduced a bill to make it legal for internet servers to sell people's history |
07:55.36 | Tybusen | I don't think Trump introduced that bill, but it did get passed by the House |
07:55.43 | ImpyDroid | Topkek |
07:55.51 | Tybusen | I think he'll probably sign it if it gets to his desk |
07:56.02 | ImpyDroid | oh |
07:56.27 | Tybusen | If the Dems are as committed to stopping Trump as they say they are (hint: they aren't), they'll try to kill it in the Senate (hint: they probably won't) |
07:58.01 | Tybusen | Most we can do right now is make noise about it and hopefully it'll go the same path as SOPA and other shitty internet/telecom bills |

13:45.31 | OluapPlayer | Oh the thing I posted |
13:45.31 | OluapPlayer | right |
13:46.50 | Technobliterator | I was afk |
13:46.56 | Technobliterator | also, I'll check new Ancient Three section now |
13:47.03 | OluapPlayer | Go write Borealis war goddamnnnn |
13:47.28 | Technobliterator | After :V |
13:47.36 | Technobliterator | I might be able to get some Borealis War done today |

13:49.55 | OluapPlayer | hur |
13:51.46 | Technobliterator | Good stuff :o |
13:51.48 | Technobliterator | I presume Hachi wrote it? |
13:52.24 | OluapPlayer | No, I did |
13:52.59 | Technobliterator | oh, it reminded me of his writing style a bit, plus it was about Zazane |
13:53.02 | Technobliterator | Still, good stuff |
13:53.08 | OluapPlayer | The chars are Zazane but they were all under my control |
13:53.30 | DrodoEmpire | Xho: true |
13:53.41 | OluapPlayer | If Hachi had written the section it'd be about 5 times bigger than that |
13:54.03 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
13:54.25 | Monet | Hachi's style is a lot more elaborate |

13:56.17 | OluapPlayer | unbusy urself |
13:57.35 | Monet | I think the Blood could exist without Hekrax unless he built the company os that only he could manage it. |
13:58.24 | OluapPlayer | It can't on the basis of me not wanting it around anymore |
13:58.45 | Monet | What about giving it to Hachi? |
13:59.21 | OluapPlayer | Hachi gave it to me because he abandoned it for 5 years |
13:59.36 | OluapPlayer | Besides I already discussed this with him before writing that section |
13:59.38 | Monet | Techno? I know PMCs are her thing. |
13:59.52 | Monet | Well if it's been discussed, your call |
14:00.25 | Monet | Merely offering suggestions. |

14:08.13 | OluapPlayer | not even andromeda is safe |
14:10.31 | Technobliterator | Could the PMC have been founded during the Borealis War? |
14:11.07 | OluapPlayer | >During the rise of the War Economy in the Second Borealis Galactic War, Skar founded his own private military company, The Blood, and proceed to profit out of the galaxy's chaotic nature by being part of proxy wars. |
14:12.21 | Technobliterator | ah |
14:12.28 | Technobliterator | I could mention it in the next section then? |
14:12.31 | Imperios | Cyrannian|busy: The legend returns |
14:12.36 | OluapPlayer | You can |
14:12.46 | Technobliterator | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Captain:Zr%27Ahgloth Also, new president |
14:12.49 | Technobliterator | 8D |
14:12.56 | OluapPlayer | By the time of the current section his PMC should already be around |
14:13.35 | OluapPlayer | Hagto'Zhl is the real Zr'Ahgloth however, meaning he is the true presudent |
14:13.38 | OluapPlayer | president even |
14:16.33 | Technobliterator | dum |

14:26.57 | Wormy_ | They are united in hating the SJW |
14:27.45 | DrodoEmpire | Also I'd contend that super-progressive folks are actually in the authoritarian left, or straddle the line with their one big trait being extremely leftist |
14:28.15 | Technobliterator | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Union_Republic_of_Ottzello/Government/Leaders best page ever amirite |
14:28.29 | Wormy_ | I agree somewhat |
14:28.31 | Technobliterator | I realise URO needs an Omega Commander at some point |
14:29.13 | Wormy_ | The symbols also show a number of different leftist symbols lumped into one |
14:29.32 | Wormy_ | Marxist, antifa, anarchist, progressive |
14:29.56 | Wormy_ | Really, a lot of anarchists hate communists |
14:30.33 | OluapPlayer | Well that's a small page |
14:31.04 | Wormy_ | And there are those who are united with the communist for the revolution |

14:33.55 | Wormy_ | Imperios: I wanted to show you this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcy8uLjRHPM |
14:34.53 | Wormy_ | Its about lessons of the bewuildering circus of russian politics |
14:35.39 | Wormy_ | And Serkov |
14:39.29 | Wormy_ | He's suggesting that all the tensions being whipped up are in a sense, a form of political control |
14:39.51 | Wormy_ | Like how nws websites make money from causing rage (thuis, clicks) |
14:40.28 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh, using confusion and outrage to maintain political control |
14:40.34 | OluapPlayer_ | https://68.media.tumblr.com/69f0604db7d093b0822fa93137edca03/tumblr_on9kvywAIS1tq9q5vo1_400.gif |
14:40.36 | DrodoEmpire | I wonder (((((who))))) could be doing that |
14:40.38 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
14:40.49 | Wormy_ | lol |
14:41.38 | Wormy_ | Our politicians are really confusing though. They tell Scoitland to stay in the UK to remain in the EU, then we leave it a couple of years later (that might backfire though) |
14:42.18 | Monet | Probably jsut a case of not thinking ahead |
14:42.52 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah true |
14:43.08 | DrodoEmpire | Never assume malice when incompetence is also a possibility |
14:43.15 | Wormy_ | It may not be by intention here, but the claim is that in Russia, this guy called Serkov sponsored a number of political campaigns from the left and right spectrum |
14:43.21 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
14:43.52 | Wormy_ | All the narratives could be effectively under control of Putin |
14:44.16 | Wormy_ | While in the West, none of our narratives work anymore (hence the concept of "oh dearism") |
14:45.07 | Monet | Well consider how many trust Russia Today. |
14:45.08 | Wormy_ | And that makes politicians in a way, more powerful because they are harder to challenge |
14:49.23 | Wormy_ | Digging a bit deeper there's a lot of stuff on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladislav_Surkov |
14:50.59 | Wormy_ | I don't trust Russia Today, but RT is smart |
14:51.22 | Wormy_ | They show protests and other problems in the UK before the BBC even televises it |
14:52.29 | Wormy_ | So through filtered coverage, it can convince - especially lefties, that RT is a better source of information. But much of it is cheery picking negative news from the West |
14:53.00 | Monet | It appeals to that "What They don't tell you" crowd. |
14:53.11 | Imperios | Russian propaganda is twofold |
14:53.56 | Imperios | It glorifies Russia, while also denigrating the West by showing various problems there, from SJWs to Neo-Nazis, often without taking a single side |
14:54.10 | Imperios | For example BLM was viewed from both sides in Russian media |
14:55.26 | Imperios | "Police brutality rises in America, frequently racially motivated, showing the racism still persisting in American society, though one cal also understand the policemen, who certainly are not fond of the African Americans who continue spreading chaos in the USA" |
14:56.22 | Wormy_ | its like a postmodern theatre |
14:56.58 | Imperios | I remember seeing some particularily awful piece of propaganda in our news once |
14:57.30 | Imperios | It talked about the Neo-Nazi marches in the Baltic states, seeking to portray all Balts as Nazis |
14:58.15 | Imperios | A news reporter would point at one Baltic protester holding a sign in English |
14:59.14 | Imperios | And say something like "Don't you see the words 'SS collaborator' on this poster? Does that not show how Balts are falling to the far right?" |
14:59.37 | Imperios | And thing is, the sign actually read "No to the glorification of SS collaborators in Latvia", or something |
14:59.59 | Imperios | They literally used the Russian ignorance of English to dupe us into hating the Balts |
15:00.44 | Wormy_ | Its especially insidious in that those who notice the lie and ask about it could be responded with something like "the reporter doesn't have good English, and we deeply apologise" |
15:01.25 | Monet | Imperios: SOunds very familiar to modified soundbites and quotes taken out of context |
15:04.33 | Wormy_ | The suggestion is that Western politicians are contradictory and that makes them hard to be understood by journalists and the public alike |
15:05.14 | Wormy_ | Trump is a capitalist, but one that's seen as "bringing more jobs", he uses emotional rhetoric in common with left and right circles |
15:06.05 | Wormy_ | Clinton is seen as a progressive person but has more right wing tendencies that Theresa May |
15:07.21 | Wormy_ | Thing is is doesn't even have to be intentional, it just has to break conventional boundaries |
15:08.55 | Monet | In Clinton's case it's because the American Left is still somewhat right-wing compared to how it appears in Europe. |
15:09.21 | Monet | Other times "more right wing than Theresa May" is part of the attack. |
15:09.29 | Wormy_ | I remember enough lefties here obsessed in her campaign |
15:10.05 | Wormy_ | But behind it all, she might not be that much of a desirable person to them |
15:10.14 | Monet | That too. |
15:10.34 | Wormy_ | Clinton simply breaks all simplified categorisations |
15:10.48 | Monet | One thing that cannot really be argues, she was portrayed as a horrible callous woman. |
15:11.16 | Monet | Whether or not she really was is where all the arguments start. |

15:11.38 | Wormy_ | Probably no more than any other, in my opinion |
15:15.09 | Imperios | Monet: What is May even like? |
15:15.17 | Imperios | From what I have seen she is a moderate conservative |
15:15.36 | Monet | She has been described as "a bloody difficult woman" |
15:17.47 | Wormy_ | In some ways she has some really conservative policies on surveillance, on the other she has some socially progressive values, she has always supported same sex marriage |
15:18.44 | Wormy_ | And she's very strong headed. While other leaders were quick to denounce Trump, she was one of the first to visit him and be "first comem first served" |
15:19.43 | Monet | British conservatism I feel has been more about pragmatism or keeping the economy smooth (or maybe relaxed) than morality. |
15:20.08 | Wormy_ | I did chuckle when the Daily Mail made a headline about May showing her legs, and she said something like "I don't care what people think of how I dress, I have more important things to discuss" |

15:57.44 | Imperios | Hi |
15:57.53 | Imperios | Hachiman: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ghost_in_the_shell_2017/ NOOOOO |
15:58.18 | Hachiman | 42% |
15:58.26 | Hachiman | That's honestly better than I thought it'd get |
15:59.26 | Hachiman | Also, to put an end to the whole controversy regarding the Major being portrayed by a white actress; in the series, she admits to using a Caucasian body model so |
16:02.17 | Imperios | You don't get the reason behind the controversy, do you? |
16:03.01 | Imperios | There aren't usually any opportunities for Asian actors to get a lead role: this was basically a perfect opportunity which would make perfect sense, and it was wasted |
16:03.27 | Hachiman | I just said why it partially wouldn't make sense hur |
16:04.03 | Hachiman | Like, it's a thing that actually gets outright addressed |
16:04.15 | Imperios | We are not talking about the plot, but the concept itself |
16:04.44 | Imperios | It would make sense for her to be Asian considering the setting; of course it would also make sense for her to be Caucasian, or African, but that would take some explanation |
16:04.53 | Hachiman | Also I do get the reason behind the controversy but people are acting incredibly stupid about it |
16:05.05 | Imperios | Bah, people are stupid in general |
16:05.06 | Hachiman | I just said why she's Caucasian |
16:05.33 | Imperios | You're mixing the rationale in the already done movie, with the rationale made on the conceptual level |
16:06.15 | Hachiman | Please let's not argue about this |
16:06.17 | Imperios | Usually, movies like this do not accomodate for Asian actors, as they would not fit into the setting; especially as leads |
16:08.04 | Imperios | This was a good chance to have an Asian lead, considering the Japanese origin of the movie and the Oriental cyberpunk setting, but it was not used |
16:08.30 | Imperios | Nah I am not arguing, just explaining my position |
16:08.53 | Imperios | I am not particularily angry about this, it's not say the Last Airbender where it completely destroys the verisimillitude of the setting |
16:09.38 | Hachiman | Like, I get why people are angry |
16:10.08 | Hachiman | And while I dislike whitewashing, some of the arguments people make are bullshit sometimes |
16:10.31 | Hachiman | Also, I don't see the Japs getting particularly upset that the Major is a white woman either |
16:10.36 | Hachiman | They thought she looked appropriate for the role |
16:11.10 | Imperios | Yeah it makes sense to adapt the setting and the actors |
16:11.18 | Imperios | Like the Japanese Spider-Man is, well, JAPANESE |
16:11.22 | Imperios | And also a racer |
16:11.52 | Hachiman | Also claiming that whites are the only people who racelift in media is also bullshit |
16:12.49 | Imperios | Yeah, case in point, Japanese Spider-Man |
16:13.01 | Hachiman | And black L |
16:13.05 | Imperios | Well |
16:13.10 | Imperios | If Light is white, L can be black |
16:13.34 | Imperios | I would argue that America (America in particular) is slightly different because it is not monoethnic |
16:13.36 | Hachiman | Alright, let me actually get my stance clear |
16:13.56 | Imperios | But of course adapting the setting is perfectly okay as long as some veracity is preserved |
16:14.18 | Imperios | Like, say, tons of black people in Beauty and the Beast and tons of white people in Gods of Egypt felt... weird |
16:14.21 | Hachiman | While I would prefer a person appropriate to the ethnicity of the character that's being portrayed to play the role, I don't mind an actor / actress actually playing the role *if they're good* |
16:14.51 | Hachiman | Beauty & The Beast is trying too hard to be progressive |
16:14.58 | Imperios | FUCKING YES |
16:15.12 | Imperios | LeFou was fun though, they actually managed to develop his character through his sexuality |
16:15.19 | Imperios | FUCKING BLACK PEOPLE IN BAROQUE FRANCE THOUGH |
16:15.22 | Imperios | WHAT THE FUCK |
16:15.30 | Hachiman | I don't fucking care if there's a gay scene; I watch B&tB for Gaston and Gaston only |
16:15.35 | Imperios | YOU DO NOT INCLUDE BLACK PEOPLE WHERE THEY WOULD MAKE PERFECT SENSE |
16:15.37 | Hachiman | Otherwise it bores the shit out of me |
16:15.41 | Imperios | Hachiman: There are no gay scenes |
16:15.46 | Imperios | It's so low-key you won't see it |
16:15.59 | Hachiman | People ranted and raved about it so I'd assume it'd be a prominent thing |
16:16.06 | Imperios | Nope |
16:16.09 | Imperios | It's still a kids' movie |
16:16.24 | Imperios | Hachiman: The Russian reaction was even more hilarious |
16:16.37 | Imperios | We slapped an equivalent of a PG-13 rating on it |
16:16.43 | Hachiman | hur |
16:16.54 | Imperios | I had to go with my sister so she could watch it, we were even warned before we went into the theater |
16:17.01 | Hachiman | I'm kinda sad that from what I've seen, Gaston doesn't seem anywhere near what I was expecting |
16:17.04 | Imperios | "This is a 16+ movie: bring your children at your own discretion." |
16:17.14 | Imperios | FUCKING 16+ |
16:17.22 | Hachiman | Holy shit lmao |
16:17.47 | Hachiman | His singing voice isn't great for the character and I don't feel like he's anywhere near as intimidating or hypermasculine as Gaston was intended to be |
16:18.12 | Imperios | I like how Beast is actually lovable in this movie |
16:18.21 | Imperios | He has some positive traits |
16:18.30 | Imperios | And it makes more sense for Belle to start liking him |
16:18.57 | Imperios | But yeah |
16:19.34 | Imperios | FUCK YES LET'S ADD BLACK PEOPLE IN BAROQUE FRANCE, BUT EGYPT? NOPE, DIDN'T YOU KNOW EGYPT WAS POPULATED WITH BLONDE ARYAN WHITES |
16:32.57 | OluapPlayer | Imperios: http://www.wowhead.com/news=261862/build-24117-ptr-preview-nomi-micro-holiday-event-legion-assault-you-are-not-peep Nomi is a holiday boss now |
16:34.15 | Monet | Wait |
16:34.31 | Monet | Didn't France have territory in Africa during the 1700s. |
16:35.35 | OluapPlayer | Oh no it's from yesterday |
16:35.36 | Tek0516 | Limited but I think so. At minimum they were still part of the slave trade. |
16:35.47 | OluapPlayer | April Fools joke went over my head this time |
16:36.43 | Monet | I'm sort of reminded of Brokeback Mountain |
16:36.52 | Monet | WIth Russia and BatB |
16:36.57 | Hachiman | gay cowboy film lmao |
16:37.07 | Imperios | Monet: It would make sense, yeah, but there are MANY black characters there, to the point of breaking verisimillitude |
16:37.16 | Monet | There's like oen sex scene (the famosu tent scene) but it got slapped an 18+ |
16:37.17 | Imperios | It was the same feeling as in the Last Airbender for example |
16:37.31 | Hachiman | Plus I doubt it actually shows the blacks as, well, slaves |
16:38.10 | Imperios | No, it would make sense for there to be free blacks |
16:38.16 | Imperios | Dumas for example |
16:38.28 | Imperios | Unlike in England becoming a freedman would not be as difficult |
16:38.34 | Imperios | But... so many of them? |
16:38.48 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: >Resuscitate no longer requires mouth-to-mouth contact on Undead players. |
16:39.20 | OluapPlayer | >mouth to mouth with undead >healer is a tauren |
16:40.01 | Monet | I admit I did get a vibe they were trying to appeal to political correctness. |
16:40.09 | Monet | But then again the story -is- fantasy. |
16:40.44 | Imperios | It's not like full-on fantasy doe |
16:40.45 | Monet | In the original film you had a bookstore that according to -an entire song- would have only had one customer. |
16:40.49 | Hachiman | >fantasy |
16:40.57 | Hachiman | It's historical |
16:41.00 | Monet | in the entire fricking village |
16:41.02 | Hachiman | It's a film set in a historical setting |
16:41.10 | Imperios | And even then fantasy still has to maintain some veracity, remember Gods of Egypt and the Last Airbender |
16:41.23 | Monet | HAchiman: As in fairy-tale fantasy. |
16:41.45 | Hachiman | Imperios: inb4 modern remake of LotR with literal black elves |
16:41.54 | Monet | Honestly Gods of Egypt was a mess from the start. |
16:42.02 | OluapPlayer | so drow |
16:42.10 | Hachiman | Not that literal hur |
16:42.12 | Monet | It was basically Transformers crossed with SMITE. |
16:42.16 | OluapPlayer | Uruks already fit that description |
16:42.21 | Hachiman | No I meant |
16:42.41 | Hachiman | Elves played by black people to appeal to progressiveness etc |
16:42.46 | OluapPlayer | I know what you mean my point stands wink wing nudge nudge |
16:42.57 | OluapPlayer | wink even |
16:43.01 | Imperios | Hachiman: Led by Matriarch O'prah |
16:43.01 | Hachiman | Oh wow |
16:45.53 | Monet | I just see Gods of Egypt as a crappy myth-flick so not really bothered with casting choices. |
16:46.05 | Imperios | It was incredibly crappy |
16:46.15 | Imperios | And it did not feel Egyptian at all, and not just because of the cast |
16:46.25 | Imperios | The clothes, the architecture, they all felt so oddly modern |
16:46.37 | Monet | Hence why I'm not really bothered by its inaccuracies |
16:46.49 | Monet | I don't think it was trying to be. |
16:47.06 | Tek0516 | Imperios: Also in some defense of the GitS movie her race and the name are justified within the movie. They just tied that justification to plot spoilers. Also even ignoring the controversy the movie earned its mixed revuews. |
16:47.07 | Imperios | And that actually kinda sucked |
16:47.42 | Imperios | Tek0516: Yeah it is justified in the movie, I just say an Asian actress could be really great as well |
16:48.05 | Hachiman | I refuse to watch Gods of Egypt because it promotes the idea that aliens or extraterrestrials or fucking whatever assisted the Egyptian civilization in constructing their architecture, which is then spoonfed to stupid conspiracists |
16:48.36 | Imperios | THE PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT BY ALIENS |
16:48.40 | Hachiman | "Oh how could the Egyptians build the pyramids without 'help' :ooo" |
16:48.52 | Hachiman | BY NOT BEING FUCKING STUPID YOU GODDAMN SHITTY CONSPIRACIST RETARD |
16:49.06 | Imperios | They were built by (((ALIENS))) |
16:49.14 | Tek0516 | Hachiman: The movie even takes place on a literal flat earth if you want conspiracy. |
16:49.16 | OluapPlayer | ayy lmao |
16:49.27 | Hachiman | Fucking WHAT |

16:49.42 | Monet | SO basically Gods of Egypt has absolutely zero basis in reality. |
16:49.45 | Hachiman | Did Scientologists make Gods of Egypt or something |
16:49.59 | Tek0516 | I think the movie's world was a big disc. One side earth the other side hell. |
16:50.03 | OluapPlayer | http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/869/841/bbf.jpg everyone pls chill out |
16:50.09 | Monet | Well to be fair the Eyptians did predate Eritstanes. |
16:50.25 | Imperios | I just googled for "pyramids were built by" in Russian |
16:50.28 | Imperios | I got these: |
16:50.32 | Imperios | "Pyramids were built by aliens" |
16:50.37 | Imperios | "Pyramids were built by giants |
16:50.42 | Imperios | "Pyramids were built by Russians" |
16:50.47 | Tek0516 | O.o |
16:50.56 | OluapPlayer | Imp confirmed martian |
16:51.36 | Imperios | Oh and |
16:51.43 | OluapPlayer | http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/226/654/475.gif convenient |
16:51.43 | Imperios | "Pyramids were built by Ukrainians" |

16:53.27 | Monet | Oluap the clairvoyant |
16:54.04 | Wormy_away | what is it with aliens and deserts |
16:54.30 | OluapPlayer | They prefer hot over cold since they like to stand around naked |
16:54.31 | Wormy_away | they are probably like the easiest landscape to land on |
16:54.45 | Wormy_away | yet they crash and burn |
16:54.47 | Monet | Wormy_away: More like "what is it with aliens being the reason ancient humans could do anything" |
16:55.06 | Tek0516 | Hachiman: Oh and I think the sun was a big ship or something and every night the sun god did battle with soem world eating demon or some s*** like that. |
16:55.22 | Monet | Well... |
16:55.49 | Monet | I recall in Egyptiam mythology the sun was a boat that Horus sailed across the sky every day. |

16:56.34 | Treebeard | Hello |
16:56.39 | Imperios | Tek0516: I think the Apophis scene was kind of cool |
16:56.41 | Tek0516 | Monet: Possibly I only remember the Greek one with the chariot |
16:56.45 | Imperios | The mythology was adhered to quite well IMO |
16:56.51 | Imperios | And it was actually kind of fun |
16:57.28 | Imperios | Also Hachiman may be interested: there was a 4 m tall half-Asian sex goddess in the movie |
16:57.35 | Imperios | As in a literal sex goddess |
16:57.38 | Imperios | She was playing Hathor |
16:57.46 | OluapPlayer | http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/093/758/8cc.png |
16:58.16 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: Does that mean the first English book was made by Aliens |
16:58.40 | OluapPlayer | Bayywolf |
16:58.58 | Wormy_away | oh wow |
16:59.39 | Hachiman | What's this I hear about a sex goddess |
17:00.10 | OluapPlayer | The dragon was Cyrannian |
17:00.50 | Imperios | Hachiman: Gods in GoE are 3-4 m tall |
17:00.56 | Imperios | There's a goddess of love/sex |
17:01.04 | Hachiman | Was she hot? |
17:01.36 | Hachiman | Reminds me of Dark Souls a bit given that giants ruled over humanity as gods and whatnot with actual divine power |
17:02.11 | OluapPlayer | giants a shit where da dark at |
17:02.21 | Hachiman | fuk off praise the sun |
17:10.05 | Imperios | Hachiman: Yeah she was |
17:10.18 | Wormy_away | Ugh, something bizzare's happened |
17:10.31 | Wormy_away | My edit has disappeared yet it shows on the wiki activity |
17:11.34 | Wormy_away | its back now |

17:15.24 | Hachiman | dat fucking tiny chest tho |
17:15.53 | Hachiman | Also what the fuck is that crown hur |
17:17.49 | Wormy_away | Cyrannian: That's my favourite thing lol |
17:18.10 | Wormy_away | As long as the subject is one I have some freedom in |
17:18.38 | Wormy_away | What I hate doing is making projects - and reecording / explaining what I did |
17:19.38 | Cyrannian|busy | Aye, I hate group work and diaries too |
17:20.42 | Hachiman | That's the worst |
17:21.20 | Hachiman | Also where would be the ideal place for me to set up a blog for me to put down my thoughts and express them and whatnot |
17:21.27 | Monet | Group work is meh, diaries same as writing jounrals |
17:21.29 | Hachiman | I've considered Tumblr but then I stopped being drunk |
17:22.17 | Hachiman | Also how do I get popular on Twitter lmao |
17:22.26 | OluapPlayer | You don't |
17:22.50 | Monet | I've got about 310 followers o nTwitter |
17:22.54 | Cyrannian|busy | Oh yeah, I was wondering if that was you who followed me recently |
17:23.09 | Hachiman | 'Twas |
17:23.14 | OluapPlayer | hao u get so many |
17:23.24 | OluapPlayer | I made YouTube videos and I only got 98 |
17:23.45 | Monet | OluapPlayer: Tweeting my uni work every day and retweeting stuff I like. |
17:24.09 | Hachiman | But how can you get popular if no one follows you or retweets you |
17:24.24 | OluapPlayer | You don't even tweet anything for others to retweet |
17:24.24 | Monet | I tend to get a lot of views when I retweet advertised job openings. |
17:24.30 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: If you wanna get popular again you should make hilarious MeeM videos again |
17:24.35 | Cyrannian|busy | You could try tweeting about trending topics |
17:24.38 | OluapPlayer | AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
17:24.45 | Monet | Cyrannian's right |
17:25.02 | Hachiman | But only you guys follow me |
17:25.05 | Monet | If you want to get popular, talk about what's popular. |
17:25.06 | Hachiman | It'd be only you seeing it |
17:25.16 | Monet | Hachiman: Not always |
17:25.45 | Monet | Add the right hashtags and you might get picked up by a retweetbot. |
17:26.05 | Cyrannian|busy | Most of my followers are people I know from real life, such as from school, university and work so try and look around for people you know and they'll usually follow you if you follow them |
17:26.08 | Hachiman | So should I just cram my posts with as many hashtags as possible |
17:26.10 | OluapPlayer | My retweet content is of questionable quality |
17:26.17 | OluapPlayer | And I never use hashtags |
17:26.26 | OluapPlayer | guess that explains it |
17:26.35 | Monet | Hashtags are like search filters. |
17:26.50 | Monet | And categorisation |
17:26.56 | Hachiman | #hashtag #lmao #fire #saltyasftbh |
17:27.21 | Wormy_away | #af |
17:27.43 | Monet | Oh yeah you also need to balance these features |
17:28.04 | Wormy_away | some of those are real chatrooms |
17:28.06 | Monet | Don't fill your tweet with hastags, no one reads them because they can't read them. |
17:28.22 | Monet | Also add pictures |
17:29.02 | Wormy_away | Also, don't retweet too much on twitter. Twitter actually penilises you |
17:29.02 | OluapPlayer | Alternatively be controversial and make everyone hate you. You'll be popular, just not the way you might want |
17:29.18 | Wormy_away | I didn't spell that right |
17:29.27 | OluapPlayer | penis hee hee |
17:29.36 | Hachiman | ha ha penis |
17:29.46 | Wormy_away | pee hee |
17:30.14 | Wormy_away | But seriously, I wondered why my posts weren't ranking very high. Too many retweets devalues your comments |
17:30.42 | Cyrannian|busy | Also you should follow a lot of accounts that interest you, you'll often attract total randomers |
17:30.54 | Wormy_away | I think its rather mean that Twitter isn't explicit about its inner workings. |
17:31.00 | OluapPlayer | https://twitter.com/NeruNox/status/827849063802470401 never gets old |
17:31.12 | Wormy_away | I always get pornbots |
17:31.59 | Wormy_away | Eh, I'm only on Twitter to bug famous researchers until they reply to me, and I have been successful. |
17:32.16 | Wormy_away | in this endevour |
17:32.23 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: dat twitter account |
17:32.39 | Hachiman | dere some spicy nsfw on dere |

17:32.55 | OluapPlayer | led* |
17:32.59 | Cyrannian|busy | I'm on Twitter to complain about stuff |
17:33.07 | Wormy_away | Funny you post this, I posted a posat from there last night |
17:33.09 | Wormy_away | And yes |
17:33.21 | Wormy_away | *from that account |
17:33.27 | OluapPlayer | Cyrannian is on twitter to talk about how much he hates taking the bus |
17:33.36 | Monet | This also mostly works for me but I think it also helps to give your twitter account direction |
17:34.11 | Cyrannian|busy | OluapPlayer: you noticed me <3 |

17:36.06 | OluapPlayer | Seems I wasn't following Wormy either |

17:40.49 | Cyrannian|busy | https://twitter.com/UltanMoran94/status/837304147087142912 - Oluap retweeted me *fangirl flail* |
17:41.13 | Wormy_away | I also managed to get myself blocked by the MP Nicholas Soames because he made fun of autistic people |
17:41.19 | OluapPlayer | Yes I agree with that sentiment |
17:41.51 | Wormy_away | <PROTECTED> |
17:42.00 | Cyrannian|busy | Plus on Friday, the bus service had a sudden strike without informing commuters. Luckily I wasn't in college that day |
17:42.37 | Wormy_away | Actually, he liked a post by HuntingSolution which made fun of autistic people, which was poor foresight. So I made a point that MPs like him don't feel supportive |
17:42.47 | Wormy_away | I get blocked by both |
17:43.04 | Wormy_away | He'd rather block me than answer for himself |

18:19.20 | Imperios | Yeah |
18:19.38 | Imperios | There have apparently even been Jewish fascists in Israel |
18:20.12 | Imperios | They wanted to ally themselves with Hitler and take in the population of Nazi concentration camps |

18:36.04 | Hachiman | How was it? |
18:36.11 | Xho | I'd give it a 7/10 |
18:36.21 | Hachiman | So about average then |
18:36.23 | Xho | It could have had more action |
18:37.32 | Imperios | "Kill yourself like Adolf Hitler" |

18:37.45 | Wormy_away | Yes |
18:38.23 | Imperios | Wormy_away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDmVABJwfkk Weird how they claim to be allies with Poland while Poles are subject to racist attacks in the UK |
18:39.53 | Wormy_away | yeah |

18:47.17 | Monet | Wormy_away: "We are firm allies with the Poles, we just don't want them in our country" |
18:47.20 | Xho | That being said Ghost in the Shell has inspired me to try and rehash the Kicath a bit |
18:47.31 | Xho | It was Japanese neon cyberpunk without the aliens |
18:47.48 | Xho | And Scarlett Johansson instead |
18:48.43 | Xho | The main idea that Agents might have their memories wiped when they're made |
18:48.55 | Wormy_away | The fascist ideal there might be that everyone lives in their lands and supports each other's alienation |
18:49.16 | Hachiman | Wouldn't that oppose with the heavy clan-based nature of their society |
18:49.25 | Xho | Certain clans are more affluent than others |
18:49.42 | Xho | Stronger houses might be able to dissuade that process |
18:50.46 | Wormy_away | rekt https://twitter.com/mpshanahan/status/846663567705341952 |
18:51.33 | Xho | Although tbf the Kicath are a sharp mess so I'll likely never touch them again |
18:51.36 | Monet | Xho: It could make sense |
18:51.56 | Monet | Fro mwhat you already have the Agents already forego their previous identities. |
18:52.12 | Xho | I could potentially rehash their entire history and that might fix them |
18:55.25 | Monet | Well, what makes them so messy |
18:59.39 | Monet | But yes, if you think that might fix them then there's no real harm. |
19:07.12 | Xho | bah |
19:07.16 | Xho | Anyway I'm hungry so brb |

19:56.46 | Wormy_away | Im sorry, I had to look this one up |
19:57.19 | Wormy_away | Because only one pair of chromosomes is past on, two clones producing a clone will only pass them on half the time |
19:57.26 | Wormy_away | 100% |
19:57.34 | Hachiman | Huh |
19:59.33 | Wormy_away | So, one genotype is a complete clone, the other would be like full siblings or parent-offspring, and certainly recessive / deleterious genes would become more expressive |
19:59.47 | Wormy_away | I don't know whether they'd become more expressive in a complete clone |
20:00.15 | Hachiman | So, would the baby between the base universe version of yourself and your alternate universe self also be effectively a clone? |
20:00.16 | Wormy_away | *anymore |
20:01.25 | Wormy_away | It would be in one case of the possibilities |
20:04.01 | OluapPlayer | what a weird thing to think about |
20:04.10 | OluapPlayer | It's like the hardest masturbation ever |
20:05.02 | Hachiman | Hardest in what sense |
20:05.17 | Wormy_away | The human genome is diploid (46 chromosomes), so you share one pair of chromosomes from each parent (23). For just one chromosome to match, only half the time you are likel to match them exactly because there are other genotypes |
20:05.59 | Wormy_away | Now the possibilies of a complete cloning of the human genocome are very small |
20:06.15 | Wormy_away | But this is the multiverse we are talking about, some one the offspring will be a clone |
20:09.53 | Wormy_away | "would reproducing with with them result in an unhealthy child" ... I guess a better way of saying it, is that would be more likely to |
20:11.32 | OluapPlayer | Hardest in difficulty |
20:12.19 | OluapPlayer | You're going to an alternate universe just so you can have sex with yourself |
20:12.21 | OluapPlayer | talk about introvert |
20:13.13 | OluapPlayer | says a lot bout u m8 |
20:15.12 | Hachiman | ;-; |
20:16.54 | Monet | But wouldn't getting your other universal twin require convincing/seducing them? |
20:18.01 | Monet | Only difference is you already know everything about your date. |
20:18.04 | Monet | ...or do you? |
20:20.16 | Hachiman | Hm |
20:21.08 | Wormy_away | I had Madagascan pink wing stick insects for 11 years, they are notable for the females cloning themselves in captivity, and males being extremely rare |
20:21.19 | Hachiman | Wait what |
20:21.24 | Hachiman | They can clone themselves? |
20:21.27 | Wormy_away | After about 9 years or so I started to notice mutations |
20:21.34 | Wormy_away | Yes |
20:22.38 | Wormy_away | Some would grow one wing, others would fail to shed skin properly, others sprouted two legs where there should have been one, and they lived shorter and shorter lifespans |
20:23.33 | Wormy_away | I suspect it was inbreeding depression |

20:24.43 | Hachiman | Jesus Wormy that sounds fucking horrifying |
20:24.51 | Hachiman | Imperios: Probably |
20:25.00 | Hachiman | She'd look like a hobo waifu |
20:25.05 | Wormy_away | horrifyingly sad |
20:26.04 | Imperios | I just realised that the girl I am dating rn kind of looks like the female you |

20:27.42 | Wormy_away | hi |
20:27.48 | Liquid_Ink | Hello |
20:28.29 | Wormy_away | I still have dreams about finding them on my wall, crawling on my neck (that happened sometimes when they escaped), or even growing to giant size or great numbers in the vivarium |
20:28.41 | Hachiman | Imperios: I dunno whether that's a complement to me or an insult to her |
20:28.56 | Imperios | both |
20:29.31 | Ghelae | Hachiman: If you have any recessive genes which are bad for you, and your offspring receives one from you and another from opposite-you, then that will be bad. |
20:29.34 | Hachiman | Wormy_away: Are you stricken with the guilt that you observed those pitiful creatures mutate and degenerate over time into a state where suffering and living were indistinguishable from one another |
20:29.53 | Wormy_away | I am |
20:30.02 | Imperios | Yes fucking your alternate self would be incest |
20:30.09 | Wormy_away | I also got fed up of them after 8-10 years |
20:30.10 | Imperios | Hm |
20:30.14 | Imperios | What would the female me be like |
20:30.16 | Ghelae | It won't necessarily be the case but, as with all incest, it increases the chances of something going wrong. |
20:30.24 | AtsyBoi | Where's the tier guide? |
20:31.05 | Wormy_away | Hachi: I used to dream of setting them free in the garden, and never did so. The last generation I didn't look after very well, and just weren't healthy from the start |
20:31.26 | Hachiman | So, did you let them die? |
20:31.27 | Wormy_away | so yeah, guilt |
20:32.02 | Wormy_away | I dunno what killed them in the end, I still fed and watered them |
20:35.22 | Ghelae | AtsyBoi: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Wormulon/Types_of_civilisation |
20:36.15 | AtsyBoi | Thanks |
20:36.20 | Wormy_away | There's a downsized version on the forums |
20:45.02 | Imperios | Hachiman: Apparently "Harkonen" is a Finnish rusname |
20:45.03 | Imperios | surname |
20:46.21 | Hachiman | Huh |
20:46.27 | Hachiman | Sounds more German to me |
