| 17:17.20 | Noshei | seebs: I think that may actually be the best way to go |
| 17:17.59 | seebs | In general, the evidence is pretty good that widespread distribution of media is mostly good for the people selling it. |
| 17:18.34 | seebs | I've seen a number of musicians and writers try this, and they consistently report that if you are selling a book, and you make it easy for people to download the complete text of the book with no hassles, you will sell *more* copies of the book. |
| 17:19.11 | Noshei | no wonder amazon makes a killing off kindle book sales |
| 17:19.35 | Noshei | takes me maybe 2 minutes to buy a book I want, at the most |
| 17:23.12 | seebs | My spouse has a book self-published through Lulu, it's made a couple-few thousand dollars now. |
| 17:23.19 | seebs | Because people read it and decide they want a copy. |
| 18:03.40 | seebs | Ahh, Slashdot. |
| 18:03.54 | seebs | All the people helpfully explaining that women aren't treated differently, they're just whiny. |
| 18:05.37 | seebs | I note that I've repeatedly heard, from a large number of sources, that women who work in the gaming industry and are visible enough to be in news coverage tend to regard rape threats as a pretty boring regular event, and not really make a big deal about them unless they come with references to home addresses. |

| 19:00.10 | Amadeus- | Torhal, I can't remember (or figure out) where on curse it is that you set your project's game version (i.e., change mine from supporting Rift 2.5 to Rift 2.7) ...it doesn't seem to do it automatically from the .toc file like I thought it might |
| 19:01.12 | Amadeus- | oh...looks like Curse doesn't have an option for anything higher than 2.5 ..lol. Looks like you need to fix that Torhal :) |
| 19:26.43 | Kaelten | I'll bug him so he won't forget :) |

| 20:22.44 | Torhal | Amadeus-: Added. |
| 20:23.22 | seebs | ... |
| 20:23.50 | seebs | Amadeus, that (the link, not the addon) is sort of terrifying. I am pretty sure he only said it because the Pope recently said he'd baptise aliens if they showed up, because why not. |
| 20:24.15 | Imhothar | what? christian aliens? where?! |
| 20:24.40 | Torhal | Any time there's a new Rift version and you remember, just ping me. I don't follow the versions myself, and we don't have and Rift-centric moderators to do it. |
| 20:25.59 | seebs | This actually came up in Homestuck. |
| 20:26.17 | seebs | Early on, one of the aliens is asked whether they have a Jesus and is all smug about how awesome their Jesus is. Later it turns out he wasn't joking. |

| 21:03.59 | Imhothar | I'm still confused with the whole alien thing |
| 21:41.38 | seebs | Context is, there was a news story recently where someone had asked the Pope whether he would baptise aliens, if any showed up asking, and he said yes, apparently. |
| 21:41.54 | seebs | So then one of the US nutjobs had to point out how totally wrong he was, even though no one was asking him. |
| 21:42.08 | Imhothar1 | aha |
| 21:42.48 | Imhothar1 | sad thing is aliens would probably let them be baptized if they thought it's a normal human ritual or something |
| 22:31.46 | Imhothar1 | hmm having curse client support for ksp would make live so much easier |
| 23:11.59 | Kaelten | Imhothar1: its on the list ;) |
| 23:12.15 | Imhothar1 | the question is though⦠how high on the list |
| 23:13.02 | Imhothar1 | I guess having a sort of official interface for mods in the game wouldn't hurt |
| 23:13.16 | Imhothar1 | at least in the file syste |
| 23:16.16 | seebs | *grumble* |
| 23:16.38 | seebs | I still want some MMO company to actually *permit* private servers with code access so you can run a modified game. |
| 23:16.46 | seebs | It would be so much fun, for me and maybe a dozen other users. |
| 23:17.00 | seebs | Downside, they'd go broke, but surely they realize that me having fun is more important than them eating? |
| 23:17.03 | Imhothar1 | no money no do |
| 23:17.53 | seebs | I wonder whether the market is large enough to sustain a less content-heavy open source game. I think the big problem would be preventing cheaters from making it unfun for other players. |
| 23:18.02 | Imhothar1 | omg there's seriously a mod to change the speed units to ft/s and mph |
| 23:18.18 | Imhothar1 | and knots |
| 23:18.20 | seebs | heh |
| 23:22.45 | Imhothar1 | I remember reading a NASA paper that had miles, km, ft and nautical miles on the same page |
| 23:22.51 | Imhothar1 | that felt very weird |
| 23:33.04 | Imhothar1 | and I remember I have said that a few times already |
| 23:37.06 | Noshei | gah dragon age delayed until mid november |
