| 00:04 | < Ceddo> | Back. |
| 00:06 | < afny> | I think we need the equivalent of battlefleet gothic for mfz |
| 00:06 | < afny> | but we don't really know anything about how space travel works in the solar calender |
| 00:06 | < Ceddo> | Or space warfare. |
| 00:06 | < Ceddo> | But I agree. |
| 00:06 | < Ceddo> | Now I want to build a spaceship. |
| 00:06 | < afny> | do it do it do it |
| 00:07 | < afny> | you don't even need taps |
| 00:07 | < afny> | i'm going to build a light frigate |
| 00:07 | < afny> | WITHOUT ANY 1 x 1 SLOPES |
| 00:23 | < Ceddo> | Meh. |
| 00:23 | < Ceddo> | I don't have enough bricks for anything meaningful |
| 00:28 | < afny> | didn't you just |
| 00:28 | < afny> | get done explainign to me how you had like |
| 00:28 | < afny> | a billion storage boxes |
| 00:32 | < afny> | it takes like |
| 00:33 | < afny> | less parts to make a frigate |
| 00:33 | < afny> | than it does a chub |
| 00:33 | < afny> | the great thing about microscale spaceships is that size is totally irrelevant |
| 00:41 | < Ceddo> | .You just slap things together and call it a spaceship? :D |
| 00:46 | < afny> | that my friend |
| 00:46 | < afny> | is EXACTLY what you do |
| 00:47 | < Ceddo> | Yeah ... maybe tomorrow. |
| 00:47 | < Ceddo> | I'mma hit the hay now. |
| 00:48 | < Ceddo> | Forum is dead anyway, my roomies are asleep, and I get bored. Might aswell sleep. |
| 00:49 | < afny> | waiiit |
| 00:49 | < afny> | I just finished another ship |
| 00:49 | < afny> | LOOK AT IT |
| 00:49 | < afny> | then pass out. |
| 00:49 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |

| 06:13 | <~Noah> | Love the music going when she get's everyone dancing at the kingdom just before they do the boat ride |
| 06:13 | <~Noah> | Sounds very celtic-y |
| 06:14 | < Dukayn> | Yeah the music's pretty awesome. |

| 07:28 | < Dukayn> | Hmm interesting |
| 07:29 | < Dukayn> | I can see how it'd be handy, and probably cheaper than having enough dice. Dice can get expensive. |
| 07:30 | <~Noah> | Yea, the dice pictured cost me 10 something |
| 07:30 | <~Noah> | 7 without s&h |
| 07:34 | <~Noah> | Really, for each frame beyond the first, you only need one extra of each color except white plus the main pool of 2d6RBYGW, 1d6R, 1d8RG, and 3d8R |
| 07:35 | <~Noah> | An extra d6 or 8, depending on your build really, to ensure that you have enough dice to roll for that last frame |
| 07:36 | <~Noah> | But that's too close to statistics, and I don't wanna do that |
| 07:41 | < Dukayn> | hehe |
| 07:41 | < Dukayn> | Yeah our local nerd shop has dice at like $1.50 a pop or something like that |
| 07:42 | <~Noah> | Ours has a dice bin that's like $1 per die, and they do sell the boxes of chessex dice |
| 07:42 | <~Noah> | But, yea, I'm just avoiding having to buy dice, rather buy legos |
| 07:48 | <~Noah> | "I wish I'd seen this before I spent $40 on 5 colors x 36 dice on amazon." |
| 07:48 | <~Noah> | -hawkn |
| 07:48 | <~Noah> | I lawled. |
| 08:08 | < Dukayn> | Haha, yeah. I also have a dice rolling app on my phone so I can use that if I want to as well. |
| 08:09 | <~Noah> | Yup, then you don't even need any bloody dice |
| 08:11 | <~Noah> | And playing around with some of the bricklink stores, to get enough bricks for 8 frames for 6 companies using different colored bases, was like $30 |
| 08:12 | <~Noah> | Less if I tried different stores, because the one I hit was kind of 'spensive |
| 08:12 | <~Noah> | So that's enough histobricks for you, your mom, your mom's mom, and each of your chihuahuas. |
| 08:18 | <~Noah> | Well, time for sleepies, or I might die |

| 13:34 | < Cedric> | Heya afny! |
| 13:34 | < Cedric> | Seen the augmented shoulders on the Couatl? |
| 13:36 | < Cedric> | Also: Life is full of pain. I wake up to two packages of parts on my couchtable. One letter-sized, one half-letter sized. Both bubble wrappers. |
| 13:36 | < Cedric> | I HAD TO SORT THEM. |
| 13:37 | < Cedric> | So I did. |
| 13:37 | < Cedric> | It's hell man, hell. |
| 13:37 | < afny> | HELL |
| 13:37 | < afny> | Yeah the rocket shoulders |
| 13:37 | < afny> | that thing looks good jumping through the air |
| 13:38 | < afny> | I'm worried about one of my bricklink orders...I got an invoice for it and I paid it but it's still just "Pending" on the order page |
| 13:38 | < afny> | I'm hoping whoever did it just forgot to update the status... |
| 13:54 | < Cedric> | Yeah, that's common. |
| 13:54 | < Cedric> | No worries. |
| 13:54 | < Cedric> | Some people are lazy and jump from pending to shipped. |
| 13:54 | < Cedric> | Also: I couldn't resist. Playing with that thing is just too much fun. Articulation for the win. :D |
| 14:00 | < Cedric> | Mhmm. |
| 14:00 | < Cedric> | I should try and build that Grand Naga again. |
| 14:00 | < Cedric> | In sandgreen / black. |
| 14:01 | < afny> | do you have the bits for it? |
| 14:01 | < afny> | wait, wait |
| 14:01 | < afny> | you mean you took it apart? |
| 14:01 | < afny> | nooo |
| 14:01 | < afny> | the orange one? |

| 14:02 | < Ceddo> | I ... should. 12 Travis bricks is a bit of a bitch, might be short on those. The Couatl uses 4 for the legs and 2 for the torso. |
| 14:02 | < Ceddo> | I ... should. 12 Travis bricks is a bit of a bitch, might be short on those. The Couatl uses 4 for the legs and 2 for the torso. |
| 14:02 | < afny> | you should just build the orange one again but use grey disks |
| 14:02 | < Ceddo> | I gotta see. Not sure, actually. |
| 14:02 | < afny> | instead of clear blue |
| 14:02 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, I actually have a boatload of discs now. |
| 14:02 | < afny> | I'm going to impose hard and fast rules about travis bricks for myself |
| 14:02 | < Ceddo> | But the orange parts went into my Flamer Chub. |
| 14:02 | < Ceddo> | What's the rule? |
| 14:02 | < afny> | no more than 5 per frame |

| 14:03 | < afny> | hm |
| 14:03 | < afny> | HIT SOME HOTKEY |
| 14:03 | < Ceddo> | Iguana? 10. Naga? 12. Couatl? 7. |
| 14:03 | < afny> | That's why I need hard and fast rules |
| 14:03 | < Ceddo> | Chub? 3. |
| 14:03 | < Ceddo> | Conscript? 0. Mine uses 2. |
| 14:03 | < afny> | 3 is the sweet spot |
| 14:04 | < Ceddo> | Oh, you can substitute with headlights sometimes. |
| 14:04 | < afny> | most of my chubs only use 1 out of necessity, but once I get my order I'll change most of them to 3 |
| 14:04 | < Ceddo> | Like the articulation game? Totally. |
| 14:04 | < afny> | Normally I hate articulation that requires rebuilding but I don't mind it for the chub |
| 14:04 | < Ceddo> | Put a clipy plate top and bottom and shove the T piece into the hole. |

| 14:22 | < afny> | How do you think that lens attaches? |
| 14:22 | < afny> | I can't figure it out, but it must be really simple |
| 14:24 | < Ceddo> | Lemme see. |
| 14:24 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 14:24 | < Ceddo> | This is too funny. |
| 14:24 | < Ceddo> | You will hate yourself when I explain it. |
| 14:25 | < Ceddo> | Want me to continue? |
| 14:25 | < afny> | I already do |
| 14:25 | < afny> | but go ahead |
| 14:25 | < afny> | Like I realize it must be the most obvious thing ever |
| 14:25 | < Ceddo> | Take a 1x2 plate, stick it in between the 2x2 round plate /w axle hole and the 2x2 boat bumper, slap a 1x1 lampholder on the 1x2 plate, stuff a open firm key in it. Done. |
| 14:26 | < afny> | ... |
| 14:26 | < afny> | god damnit |
| 14:26 | < Ceddo> | *giggles* |
| 14:26 | < Ceddo> | I know. |
| 14:26 | < afny> | hm |
| 14:26 | < afny> | I wonder if you can move it away |
| 14:27 | < afny> | i'm going to go try it |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | Yupp, you can. |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | Just uses 1x1 round plates inside the sammich there. |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | Gives you some wiggle room. |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | Actually, this is so funny, I will try that at home. |
| 14:28 | < Ceddo> | Your BrickLink order #2830685 was shipped today May 24, 2012 and should be reaching you soon! Thanks so much for choosing AFOL Supply to serve your Lego needs! |
| 14:28 | < Ceddo> | YAY |
| 14:28 | < Ceddo> | My US$ 80 order is out. |
| 14:28 | < afny> | yeah it doesn't work so well with square plates |
| 14:28 | < afny> | what parts? |
| 14:28 | < Ceddo> | Uhm, lemme see. |
| 14:29 | < Ceddo> | 40 claws, 60 hl bricks, 9 t bricks, bunch of black plates in all sizes, 60 lamp holders, 20 cape flaps, 20 t pieces and a lot of other shit more. |
| 14:30 | < Ceddo> | 4 black light sabre hilts, too. |
| 14:30 | < afny> | nice |
| 14:31 | < afny> | I skimped on the black plates, and I didn't order any bigger than 1x4 |
| 14:33 | < afny> | I'm going to work on some stations today |
| 14:33 | < afny> | as well as some non lego stuff |
| 14:34 | < afny> | but STATIONS |
| 14:34 | < afny> | gotta dig out as many grey bricks as I can find |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | Inorite. |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | Anyway. |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | Plates. |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 2x2 corner, 2x2 plate, 1x4 |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | Got those. |
| 14:37 | < Ceddo> | Also, MORE MOTORS. |
| 14:38 | < Ceddo> | Because motors make me happy. |
| 14:38 | < Ceddo> | Motors are like ... I dont' know. Magic. |
| 14:38 | < Ceddo> | The Couatl has one on the inside. |
| 14:38 | < afny> | I only ordered four, thinking I had a ton left |
| 14:38 | < afny> | I think I still do, but it's an unknown quantity. They are magic. |
| 14:38 | < Ceddo> | You fool. :D |
| 14:38 | < Ceddo> | I always empty out the motors they have. |
| 14:38 | < afny> | They were really common in the sets I got as a kid |
| 14:38 | < Ceddo> | "8 motors? Snatched!" |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | "3 motors in white? Snatched!" |
| 14:39 | < afny> | ohhh white motors |
| 14:39 | < afny> | that'd be cool |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | "Mhmm, 12 light grey motors ... SNATCHED!" |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | I think I even have two yellow motors. |
| 14:39 | < afny> | i've got a blue one but it's in one of my spaceships right now |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | Blue motors are <3 |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | I need to get my ass up and build a blue 'frame. |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | So lazy, though. |
| 14:40 | < Ceddo> | WHY IS NO ONE ACTIVE ON THE FORUMS, GOD DAMNIT. |
| 14:40 | < afny> | we need some |
| 14:40 | < afny> | COMMUNITY OUTREACH |
| 14:42 | < Ceddo> | I know. |
| 14:42 | < Ceddo> | People a) need to join the IRC and b) get fucking active on the forums. |
| 14:43 | < afny> | I think we scared Soren away |
| 14:43 | < afny> | or else he just has a life. |
| 14:43 | < Ceddo> | Nah. He's in Malaysia. |
| 14:44 | < afny> | Oh, he left quickly |
| 14:44 | < afny> | I thought he wasn't leaving right away cause he mentioned getting that 200 dollar bricklinks order before he left |
| 14:45 | < afny> | Also, I think going to Malaysia with his wife counts as having a life. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | Well, he sorted the order ... and took it with him to Malaysia. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | So he has something to do. |
| 14:47 | < afny> | ...but...spicy food. |

| 15:11 | < afny> | Awww |
| 15:12 | < afny> | I went to the Chromehounds wiki to get some fluff for a custom terrain setting |
| 15:12 | < afny> | and I got all sad |
| 15:12 | < afny> | because it's DEAD and it's NEVER COMING BACL. |
| 15:12 | < afny> | ....also, it's never coming BACK*. |
| 15:12 | < afny> | I didn't realize how much this game influenced my Nimrod frames, either |
| 15:12 | < afny> | http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111006041148/chromehounds1542/images/f/f 1/Chromehounds_Screens_03.jpg |
| 15:14 | < Ceddo> | Yay. |
| 15:14 | < afny> | NOT YAY. |
| 15:14 | < afny> | Do you KNOW about this game? Do you know its SAD SAD tale? |
| 15:14 | < Ceddo> | I know it's sad Mecha designs. |
| 15:14 | < Ceddo> | "HOW WE KILL IT?!" |
| 15:14 | < Ceddo> | "Shoot the butt." |
| 15:14 | < afny> | Actually a good strategy in the game |
| 15:14 | < afny> | but you could place armor over your butt |
| 15:14 | < afny> | all the mechs were completely modular, so a player created that mech |
| 15:14 | < Ceddo> | The middle section is way to flimsey. |
| 15:15 | < afny> | you actually built your mechs like legos |
| 15:15 | < afny> | those middle bits are spacers |
| 15:15 | < Ceddo> | If that thing takes a volley of MRM or SRM fire, it'll break in the middle. :D |
| 15:15 | < Ceddo> | Let alone a LBX20 shot. |
| 15:15 | < afny> | Not 100% realistic, yeah, but the design was like that to accomodate for the customization |
| 15:16 | < afny> | http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111006040118/chromehounds1542/images/e/e 8/19.jpg |
| 15:16 | < afny> | I can't find many pictures, but there were all different sorts of cockpits, legs/treads/wheels/hoverbases, armatures, weapons |
| 15:16 | < afny> | and then internal systems |
| 15:16 | < afny> | It was this squad based 3rd person game for the 360, right |
| 15:16 | < afny> | it had an overarching war metagame where you fought for your country and unlocked new parts |
| 15:17 | < afny> | but the actual battles went down like this |
| 15:17 | < afny> | you had 1-6 players per team, and a huge grid of varying size |
| 15:17 | < afny> | and you bring in your mechs, all purpose-built in advance for your strategy |
| 15:17 | < afny> | to win, you either have to kill all the enemy mechs, or destroy the enemy base--but the enemy has two decoy bases, so that's harder than it sounds. |
| 15:18 | < afny> | The GENIUS part of this game was that it was released before the xbox live party system, so voice chat was completely governed by the game |
| 15:18 | < afny> | and you could only communicate with your teammates if you were in a networked area of captured communications towers |
| 15:18 | < Ceddo> | Nice. THat's wicked. |
| 15:18 | < afny> | if you left the range of your network, your mic and headset went dead |
| 15:18 | < afny> | it was so. fucking. awesome. |
| 15:18 | < Ceddo> | On the XBox, but wicked. |
| 15:18 | < afny> | Yeah, I hate the xbox |
| 15:18 | < afny> | but this was the exception |
| 15:19 | < afny> | I mean, it was such a novel use of the technology and it was so INTEGRAL to the gameplay |
| 15:19 | < afny> | anyway, party chat came out and ruined it, because you didnt have to capture towers anymore |
| 15:19 | < afny> | so scounts and commander hounds (which were units with their own giant comms arrays that projected a mobile networked area) become obsolete |
| 15:19 | < afny> | then they shut down the servers |
| 15:19 | < afny> | BUT |
| 15:19 | < afny> | I want to make a terrain setting that has comms interference |
| 15:20 | < afny> | and has a system where you have to capture comm towers as well as stations to be able to spot for teammates |
| 15:20 | < afny> | I'm working out the specifics but I think it will be cool |
| 15:22 | < Ceddo> | This is a sad story. |
| 15:22 | < Ceddo> | It's like the story of the Mech Warrior games. |
| 15:22 | < Ceddo> | Mad fun with FASA. |
| 15:22 | < Ceddo> | Then Microsoft bought the series and buttfucked it. |
| 15:23 | < afny> | Yeah, there's really no happy ending for any mech franchise |
| 15:23 | < afny> | I guess armored core is still doing okay? |
| 15:23 | < afny> | I'm not really an armored core person |
| 15:26 | < afny> | when my parts get here, I'm going to make |
| 15:26 | < afny> | an ORBITAL FRAME |
| 15:27 | < afny> | maybe I'll actually...do it in LDD right now |
| 15:28 | < afny> | as much as I hate LDD |
| 15:35 | < Ceddo> | Dun-dun-DUNN. |
| 15:35 | < Ceddo> | Dude, I can already see it. |
| 15:35 | < Ceddo> | MWOnline F2P will be a fuckup. |
| 15:35 | < Ceddo> | So scared. |
| 15:35 | < afny> | it will for sure |
| 15:35 | < Ceddo> | On the other hand, they ARE using the MW3 mechbay. |
| 15:35 | < Ceddo> | Which is huge. |
| 15:35 | < afny> | can I import a list of bricks to use as a palette in LDD? |
| 15:36 | < afny> | I can't find anything, I'm forced to reference parts I want on bricklinks and search by design ID |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | But the problem is that the developers seemingly know jackshit about the universe. |
| 15:36 | < afny> | also, breadth doesn't matter AT ALL in games like that |
| 15:36 | < afny> | it's depth that counts |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | Well, you can use me. |
| 15:36 | < afny> | Uh okay, I need a clip and a pneumatic tube |
| 15:36 | < afny> | HOW 2 FIND |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | I am your palette. Tell me the part you need, I find it for you. Got it memorized by now. |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | Which clip? |
| 15:37 | < Ceddo> | And: No tubes in LDD. |
| 15:37 | < afny> | whaaat |
| 15:37 | < afny> | okay nevermind |
| 15:37 | < afny> | fuck this program |
| 15:37 | < Ceddo> | LOL |
| 15:37 | < Ceddo> | There's the tube with studs. |
| 15:37 | < afny> | Nah, I just hate it |
| 15:37 | < afny> | like what would take me three seconds to think out with bricks |
| 15:37 | < Ceddo> | What do you expect? |
| 15:37 | < afny> | I don't know, I already know I hate it |
| 15:37 | < Ceddo> | Having an endless defineable fully flexible tube is just impossible for a free CAD program. |
| 15:38 | < afny> | oh I didnt mean that |
| 15:38 | < afny> | I meant the T shape |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | Ah! |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | That's easy. |
| 15:38 | < afny> | but whatever even if that's in there I'm not opening it again |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | It's right there! |
| 15:38 | < afny> | NEVER |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | Next to the pin icon is the gear icon. |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | Second or third row. |
| 15:38 | < afny> | another thing is |
| 15:38 | < afny> | every time I expand one set of parts |
| 15:38 | < afny> | ALL of them expand |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | Yah? |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | What. |
| 15:38 | < afny> | and I have to manually minimize each one |
| 15:38 | < afny> | I don't even KNOW. |
| 15:38 | < Ceddo> | There's a button. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | Close all groups. |
| 15:39 | < afny> | Well I HATE IT. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | It's at the bottom of the browser. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | I think there's a distinct user-interface-disturbance. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | An OSI layer 8 malfunction. |
| 15:39 | < afny> | Yes, it's called prejudice. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | A 95% error. |
| 15:39 | < afny> | I am prejudice against it. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | Or, what else to call it ... |
| 15:39 | < afny> | So I refuse to learn. |
| 15:39 | < Ceddo> | Ah. |
| 15:40 | < Ceddo> | A user-I/O-processing fault. |
| 15:40 | < afny> | Brilliant. |
| 15:40 | < Ceddo> | As in: You don't know LDD. :D |
| 15:40 | < Ceddo> | I can teach you. |
| 15:40 | < Ceddo> | But I have to charge. |
| 15:40 | < afny> | It's simple to use |
| 15:40 | < Ceddo> | My brick shake brings all the 'frames to the yard. |
| 15:40 | < afny> | I actually kind of like the design |
| 15:40 | < Ceddo> | So simple. |
| 15:40 | < afny> | but can you add |
| 15:40 | < afny> | prats |
| 15:40 | < afny> | ...parts |
| 15:40 | < afny> | to a palette list |
| 15:41 | < Ceddo> | Like, limit yourself? |
| 15:41 | < Ceddo> | Not exactly, but you can bypass this. |
| 15:41 | < afny> | like, can I right click on a bunch of bricks |
| 15:41 | < afny> | so when it opens the picker, I only see those bricks |
| 15:41 | < Ceddo> | Take the parts you need, each just once. Put them on the building area. And then clone them as you need them from your makeshift palette. |
| 15:42 | < afny> | hurgh |
| 15:42 | < afny> | okay, I don't have the patiens for that |
| 15:42 | < afny> | I'm going to download an LDD file of a complicated frame |
| 15:42 | < afny> | and delete all the other shit |
| 15:42 | < afny> | and use the joints |
| 15:42 | < afny> | I am LITERALLY that lazy. |
| 15:42 | < Ceddo> | Well, the more often you use LDD; the faster you'll find stuff. |
| 15:42 | < afny> | I'm just used to using stuff like Hammer |
| 15:42 | < Ceddo> | For example, I use LDD in the train to work with a touchpad and hotkeys. |
| 15:43 | < Ceddo> | I could probably LDD while I'm walking, holding my laptop up with one hand, building with the other. |
| 15:43 | < afny> | In hammer, everything is sorted very logically and has keywords tied to it in search, and you can limit yourself to any elements you choose |
| 15:43 | < Ceddo> | It's actually okay-ish sorted. |
| 15:43 | < Ceddo> | Just the novelty stuff is oddly sorted. |
| 15:43 | < Ceddo> | But basics are super easy. |
| 15:43 | < Ceddo> | Does it have one gajillion studs? Headlight brick section. |
| 15:44 | < Ceddo> | Straight slope? SLope section. |
| 15:44 | < Ceddo> | Round slope? Round slope section. |
| 15:44 | < Ceddo> | Etc. |
| 15:44 | < afny> | where is the travis? |
| 15:44 | < afny> | I spent like three minutes looking before I just punched in the part number |
| 15:45 | < Ceddo> | lol |
| 15:45 | < Ceddo> | Travis has a lot of studs. |
| 15:45 | < Ceddo> | Headlight section. |
| 15:45 | < Ceddo> | There you'll find the motor, too. |
| 15:45 | < afny> | it wasnt at the end of the headlights though |
| 15:45 | < afny> | like that's where I thought it would be |
| 15:46 | < Ceddo> | Nah. |
| 15:46 | < Ceddo> | It's head light, 1 stud, 2 stud, some shit, travis. |
| 15:46 | < Ceddo> | Your BrickLink order #2829284 was shipped today May 24, 2012 and should be reaching you soon! |
| 15:47 | < Ceddo> | YAY |
| 15:47 | < afny> | woo |
| 15:47 | < afny> | okay, why can I not paint headlights |
| 15:47 | < afny> | the paint tool lets me select random things, like cones and clips |
| 15:47 | < afny> | but not headlights or travis |
| 15:48 | < afny> | oh wait, nevermind, it's just because it's already the same color, and black looks like blue in LDD |
| 15:48 | < Ceddo> | 60 black dishes, 100 1x1 black clip tiles, 80 black taps, 100 1x1 grey clips, 30 1x1 black tiles and some other shit. |
| 15:48 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, because you wouldn't be able to make out details in trueblack. |
| 15:48 | < Ceddo> | It's a crutch. |
| 15:48 | < afny> | okay, here's a dumb question |
| 15:48 | < afny> | how do I move my camera |
| 15:48 | < afny> | like, the float |
| 15:48 | < Ceddo> | When that order arrives, it's chubby time. |
| 15:48 | < afny> | not the angle |
| 15:48 | < Ceddo> | Right click. |
| 15:49 | < afny> | that's the angle. |
| 15:49 | < afny> | like I can zoom in and out, and I can change my direction |
| 15:49 | < Ceddo> | left/right/up/down |
| 15:49 | < afny> | but I want to get OVER THERE |
| 15:49 | < afny> | the arrow keys? |
| 15:49 | < afny> | they don't do anything unless I'm selecting a brick |
| 15:49 | < Ceddo> | Oh. |
| 15:49 | < Ceddo> | That. |
| 15:49 | < Ceddo> | Easy. |
| 15:49 | < Ceddo> | Double rightclick the part you want to center on. |
| 15:50 | < afny> | that's so counterintuitive |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | I know. :D |
| 15:50 | < afny> | it should just be a left click drag with no select |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | You'll get used to it. |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | Center first, then rotate and zoom. THat's how you get around. |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | Think of it this way: You don't "walk over", you teleport. It's a faster. |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | *a bit |
| 15:51 | < afny> | how do I raise/lower a part |
| 15:51 | < afny> | I'm just used to mapping, so moving through a 3D setting is really useful because you're simulating player movement |
| 15:51 | < afny> | this just feels so clunky |
| 15:52 | < afny> | also, I've got these bricks that aren't aligned to the grid |
| 15:52 | < afny> | I can still use the arrow keys to flip them by degrees, but it doesn't snap them back to the grid...how2fix |
| 15:53 | < Ceddo> | Well, here's the thing. |
| 15:53 | < Ceddo> | Raise/Lower don't work. |
| 15:53 | < Ceddo> | It either snaps on or goes to the grid on the ground floor. |
| 15:54 | < Ceddo> | Now, as soon as a brick snaps on, it loses it's neutral alignment and takes a relative alignment. |
| 15:54 | < Ceddo> | This relative alignment remains even if you take it off. |
| 15:54 | < Ceddo> | You cannot reset alignment, just overwrite it by attaching it somewhere else. |
| 15:54 | < afny> | so taking apart this line worker basically fucked me |
| 15:54 | < afny> | hm. |
| 15:54 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. |
| 15:54 | < afny> | oh well |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | Build it from scratch. |
| 15:55 | < afny> | I'm still doing it this way. |
| 15:55 | < afny> | NEVER |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | BUILD IT FROM SCRATCH. |
| 15:55 | < afny> | hunting for all those parts |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | LEARN TO USE THE PICKER. |
| 15:55 | < afny> | the time it would take just isn't worth it |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | IT'S SUPEREASY. |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | Clips: Clip section. Has tiles, too. |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | T piece: Gear section, top. |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | Taps: Antenna section, a bit down. |
| 15:55 | < Ceddo> | Flaps: Minifig section, a fair bit down. |
| 15:56 | < afny> | even with a neutral alignment it would still look horrible |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | 1x1 round /w open stud: wing section next to plates. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | You can rotate the shit later. |
| 15:56 | < afny> | how? |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | Build first, rotate later. |
| 15:56 | < afny> | :| |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | With the rotation tool. |
| 15:56 | < Ceddo> | (Which looks like an arrow with a circle and direction arrow.) |
| 15:57 | < Ceddo> | Lern2ldd. |
| 15:57 | < afny> | Ah |
| 15:57 | < afny> | the HINGE tool |
| 15:57 | < afny> | it looks like a hand pinching an anus |
| 15:57 | < Ceddo> | MOTORS AND BUTTS. |
| 15:57 | < Ceddo> | I am bored as fuck and stuck here another 3 hours. You best learn to master LDD quickly. |
| 15:57 | < Ceddo> | BRB, smoke. |
| 16:04 | < Ceddo> | Back. |
| 16:05 | < afny> | okay, so I can't connect technic holes |
| 16:05 | < afny> | to studs? |
| 16:05 | < afny> | like I want to use this 1x5 beam to connect to the top of a travis |
| 16:05 | < Ceddo> | Sec. |
| 16:07 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 16:08 | < Ceddo> | The problem is, you can only connect single holes to studs or single studs to multiple holes. |
| 16:08 | < Ceddo> | The workaround is a 1x1 round plate. |
| 16:08 | < Ceddo> | Because LDD doesn't recognize it as a legal connection. |
| 16:09 | < afny> | lame |
| 16:10 | < Ceddo> | I know. |
| 16:10 | < Ceddo> | I love Cracked.com :D |
| 16:10 | < Ceddo> | The nice thing about oral sex is all of it. No one gets pregnant, people who are virgins can stay virgins when they do it and according to the '90s, it doesn't technically count as sexual relations. Win-win-WIN. |

| 16:11 | < afny> | the multiple orgasms one gets into some really deep shit if you research it |
| 16:12 | < afny> | the sexual arms race for reproduction rights in apes is really crazy |
| 16:12 | < Ceddo> | I am aware. |
| 16:12 | < Ceddo> | Of both. |
| 16:12 | < Ceddo> | Aww yeah. |
| 16:13 | < afny> | right now I'm stuck on POINTY FEET |
| 16:13 | < afny> | this is not an LDD problem though |
| 16:13 | < afny> | just a design one |
| 16:15 | < afny> | AGH |
| 16:15 | < afny> | you can't use lampholders to connect? |
| 16:15 | < afny> | that's like my number one go to trick |
| 16:15 | < afny> | I can do it with round 1 x 1 plates involved I guess |
| 16:15 | < afny> | but that will add so much height |
| 16:22 | < Ceddo> | Dude. |
| 16:22 | < Ceddo> | I just had the most retarded guy ever. |
| 16:22 | < Ceddo> | "WHERE ARE ALL MY EMAILS IN DELETED OBJECTS?!" |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | "I guess they have been deleted." |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | "WHAT. I NEED THOSE." |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | "Why did you delete them, then?" |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | "I DIDN'T DELETE ANYTHING, RESTORE THEM." |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | "I can't. They are deleted and the backups are done at night. And anything from last night to now is not saved." |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | "BUT I NEED THOSE." |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | "Why did you delete them, then?" |
| 16:24 | < Ceddo> | "I DIDN'T. WHAT HAPPENED." |
| 16:24 | < Ceddo> | "I cannot tell, only assume that you deleted them." |
| 16:24 | < Ceddo> | "I WOULD NEVER." |
| 16:24 | < Ceddo> | And so on. |
| 16:25 | < afny> | he's delusional |
| 16:25 | < Ceddo> | Yes, totally. |
| 16:25 | < Ceddo> | "YOU CALLED ME. EVER SINCE ALL MY EMAILS ARE GONE." |
| 16:26 | < Ceddo> | "Well, I didn't touch your mailbox. I added an archive file with restored files from december until the 20th of May." |
| 16:26 | < Ceddo> | "I NEED EVERYTHING FROM BEFORE DECEMBER, THOUGH." |
| 16:26 | < Ceddo> | "... that is not in there." |
| 16:26 | < Ceddo> | "BUT THAT'S WHAT I NEED." |
| 16:26 | < Ceddo> | "Not what you asked us to restore." |
| 16:26 | < Ceddo> | And so on. |
| 16:30 | < afny> | what did he do in the end |
| 16:31 | < afny> | okay, here's a question |
| 16:31 | < afny> | how do the lampholders that hold the warhorse's arm taps connect to the body |
| 16:31 | < afny> | http://nobsjustabs.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/6878492628_5ef54fd12b_b.jpg |
| 16:32 | < afny> | just a 1 x 1 with technic hole? |
| 16:32 | < afny> | it doesn't look like it |
| 16:32 | < afny> | it looks like a clip, but I dont know what it would be holding |
| 16:35 | <~Noah> | "<Cedric> Life is full of pain. I wake up to two packages of parts on my couchtable." - Just mail them all to me, I'll sort them for you~ |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | afny: Here's what he did. |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | Called the head of the department that we're working for. |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | Complained about me, because apparently I don't care about his problems. |
| 16:39 | < Ceddo> | And now the head of that department ruffled my feathers on how I deal with higher-ups. |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | And a different coworker from a city 700km away is taking over. |
| 16:40 | < afny> | :\ |
| 16:40 | < afny> | It really shouldn't be part of IT's job to provide grief counseling over user error |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | It so much is. |
| 16:40 | <~Noah> | And yes it is >_< |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | Dude, I am appalled. |
| 16:40 | < Ceddo> | This is horrible. |
| 16:40 | <~Noah> | yet* |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | Time to write MY boss an email. |
| 16:41 | <~Noah> | Ceddo: I used to do tech support for Comcast, that guy with the email? That was my life, every day, all day long |
| 16:41 | < afny> | is this like happening in real time |
| 16:41 | < afny> | right now |
| 16:41 | <~Noah> | "WHY DID MY CABLE GET CUT OFF!" |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 16:41 | <~Noah> | "You didn't pay your bill." |
| 16:41 | <~Noah> | "YOU DIDN"T SEND A BILL!" |
| 16:41 | < Ceddo> | I am pretty much documenting it as it happens. |
| 16:42 | < afny> | dude, you're totally shattering my illusions about your job being the cushiest job ever |
| 16:42 | <~Noah> | "I'm sure we did sir, check with your local post office. But even if you didn't get the bill, your service payment has been due on the 9th of the month, every month, for the last 12 years you've had service." |
| 16:44 | <~Noah> | I mean, seriously, you didn't get some dead tree matter in your mail box, and that somehome excuses you from paying your bill for 3 months? |
| 16:44 | <~Noah> | And don't get me started on idiots deleting their emails. |
| 16:47 | < afny> | fuck LDD man |
| 16:47 | < afny> | I'm done |
| 16:47 | < afny> | AGAIN. |
| 16:47 | < Ceddo> | What's wrong? |
| 16:47 | < afny> | Nothing, just having to use 1x1 round plates to make every kind of connection |
| 16:47 | < afny> | is making the whole thing pointless, because it doesn't look anything like the frame would in the brick |
| 16:47 | < Ceddo> | Well, if you use holes like that, yes. |
| 16:47 | < afny> | yeah :\ |
| 16:47 | < Ceddo> | Could try to use halfpins. |
| 16:48 | < afny> | I don't know this is a very odd frame and I have to "reverse the polarity" of my bricks every few studs |
| 16:48 | < afny> | half pins would work on a couple of the connections but not all of them |
| 16:48 | < afny> | OH |
| 16:48 | < afny> | you know what I bet would work |
| 16:48 | < afny> | that trick where you put a lightsaber blade |
| 16:48 | < Ceddo> | Yeah. |
| 16:48 | < afny> | ...wait, no, cause a lightsaber blade wouldn't connect to a technic hole |
| 16:49 | < afny> | or the back of a headlight |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | But to a halfpin. |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | Yes it would. |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | Just extend it far enough. |
| 16:49 | < afny> | hm |
| 16:49 | < afny> | well either way I just got bored |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | Okay then. |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | And: My job's cushy as fuck. |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | Just the odd idiot once a month. |
| 16:49 | < Ceddo> | And because it's gov, everything is a huge fucking deal. |
| 16:50 | < Ceddo> | It's fucking 2012 and people panic when their screen doesn't turn on. |
| 16:50 | < Ceddo> | What can I say? |
| 16:50 | < Ceddo> | Hey, guess what, that trash icon you throw your important emails into? Not a folder. |
| 16:50 | < Ceddo> | Oh, you need that file? Well, why did you delete it? |
| 16:51 | < Ceddo> | Oh, I deleted it. Okay. Because admitting being a dumb-dumb doesn't work for executive positions. |
| 16:51 | < Ceddo> | Am I in an abusive relationship with that guy? Fuck. |
| 16:51 | < Ceddo> | I can already tell this is going horribly. |
| 16:52 | < Ceddo> | Maybe start looking for a new job now. *rubs chin* |
| 16:52 | < Ceddo> | ... I started 3 months ago. |
| 16:52 | < Ceddo> | Mayb shift within the company. |
| 16:52 | < afny> | all of this because some guy deleted a bunch of files and you PHYSICALLY can't do anything about it? |
| 16:52 | < Ceddo> | Well, I can. |
| 16:52 | < Ceddo> | But he wouldn't let me finish. |
| 16:53 | < afny> | AH |
| 16:53 | < afny> | that's...even worse |
| 16:53 | < Ceddo> | I could totally just go into the Exchange server cache and restore his deleted objects 14 days back. |
| 16:53 | < Ceddo> | But he insisted on telling me I deleted his shit and wouldn't let me finish. |
| 16:53 | < Ceddo> | And then, cut the call to go ahead and complain. |
| 16:54 | < Ceddo> | Should've just aplogized, I guess. |
| 16:54 | < Ceddo> | "I AM SORRY I DELETED YOUR FILES. HERE'S ALL OF THEM BACK PLUS 11 DAYS MORE OF SHIT THAT I DELETED, TOO." |
| 16:55 | < afny> | fucking people man |
| 17:02 | < Ceddo> | Alright. |
| 17:02 | < Ceddo> | Coworker solved the first part of it. |
| 17:02 | < Ceddo> | And he told me: "Don't sweat it, those guys are retarded. We all have been there." |
| 17:02 | < Ceddo> | So now there's still the initial problem. |
| 17:02 | <~Noah> | People are stupid? |
| 17:02 | < afny> | not gonna solve that one |
| 17:03 | < Ceddo> | Which is: "I HAD FILES IN DELETED OBJECTS, PRIOR TO THE 31st OF DECEMBER. I DELETED THEM ON THE 20th OF MAY. I NEED THOSE BACK." |
| 17:03 | <~Noah> | That's not really a problem, it's more of a world-state, and you just have to learn to deal with it |
| 17:03 | < Ceddo> | I don't even fucking know where to begin with that clusterfuck. |
| 17:03 | <~Noah> | He probably shouldn't put things in the delete folder |
| 17:04 | <~Noah> | But don't tell him that, dumb people hate logic, it's like mirrors to vampires |
| 17:04 | <~Noah> | brb |
| 17:05 | < Ceddo> | Exfuckingactly. |

| 17:14 | < Ceddo> | Okay. |
| 17:14 | < maoranma> | HOKAY |
| 17:14 | < Ceddo> | Emailed my boss, department boss, coworker, and the retard. |
| 17:17 | < maoranma> | Sounds like you need to make a Ministry of Common Sense |
| 17:17 | < maoranma> | Oh |
| 17:17 | < maoranma> | When you speak english, do you sound english, or do you have a thick german accent? |
| 17:18 | < Ceddo> | Nah, my accent is subtle. |
| 17:18 | < Ceddo> | Lived 1.5 years in Canada, man. |
| 17:18 | < Ceddo> | It's there, but far from NEIN MEIN LEBEN. |
| 17:18 | < maoranma> | Ceddo> Lived 1.5 years in Canada, eh.* |
| 17:18 | < Ceddo> | Doesn't got there. |
| 17:18 | < Ceddo> | *go |
| 17:18 | < Ceddo> | Invalid use of "eh". |
| 17:19 | < maoranma> | What? I don't know what you're talking aboot. |
| 17:19 | < Ceddo> | You could use it in response, though. |
| 17:19 | < maoranma> | I assume they say eh at the end of everything, I'm happier that way |
| 17:19 | < Ceddo> | It's an implied question, either rethoric in the form of appreciative seeking for confirmation or an expression of disbelief. |
| 17:19 | < Ceddo> | For example: |
| 17:20 | < Ceddo> | "I worked in a steel plant and built bridges!" - "Bridges, eh?" |
| 17:20 | < Ceddo> | Or: |
| 17:20 | < Ceddo> | "And then I got shot in the chest with a paintball, right on the nipple." - "Fuck, eh." |
| 17:21 | < Ceddo> | It can also be used all by itself, seeking repetition in case of poor audiblity. |
| 17:21 | < Ceddo> | "And then my mom jgwjg wjcnyegf *murmur* *rabble*" - "Eh?" |
| 17:21 | < maoranma> | Eh? |
| 17:21 | < Ceddo> | So there. |
| 17:21 | < Ceddo> | The correct usage of "eh". |
| 17:22 | < Ceddo> | Canada, eh? |
| 17:22 | < maoranma> | I used to have a friend here on Nightstar, years and years ago, when a game called NetMonster still existed, he was from Nova Scotia |
| 17:23 | < maoranma> | And he would fill everyone with misinformation about Canada |
| 17:23 | < Ceddo> | I do that, too. |
| 17:23 | < maoranma> | Like, how when they have those 3 days of perpetual light and no nighttime? |
| 17:23 | < Ceddo> | Pet polar bears is my favourite. |
| 17:23 | < maoranma> | That's called the Canaday. |
| 17:23 | < Ceddo> | Or the igloos. |
| 17:23 | < Ceddo> | Very important. |
| 17:23 | < afny> | uh |
| 17:23 | < afny> | is any part of canada actually in the arctic circle? |
| 17:24 | < afny> | I mean, was the joke that it was Canaday, or was it that that happened at all in Canada |
| 17:24 | < maoranma> | Oh, and pet Penguins, which isn't even the right pole, but he still told everyone that it was true, haha |
| 17:24 | < Ceddo> | Dude, I used to tell people so much shit about Germany, too. |
| 17:24 | < maoranma> | afny: Both I think |
| 17:25 | < Ceddo> | And my Canuckian buddies would all chime in. |
| 17:25 | < Ceddo> | In the middle of January: "Canada's climate is so moderate, compared to Germany. Take a look around. See that? That's what Germany looks like in a hot sommer." |
| 17:25 | < Ceddo> | There was snow patches, rarely any grass visible, etc. |
| 17:26 | < maoranma> | Hehe |
| 17:26 | < Ceddo> | "People always think Sibiria is cold. Meh. In Germany, it's so cold, we grow thick patches of hair just to stay warm. Think Italians. Only more wooly." |
| 17:26 | < Ceddo> | "Canada's so lush though, I shedded most of it. *shows hairy arm*" |
| 17:26 | < maoranma> | See, the problem with USA is I can't make any jokes that aren't at least true SOMEWHERE in the US |
| 17:27 | < Ceddo> | "In Indiana, it's legal to fuck a horse, but gay marriage is forbidden." |
| 17:27 | < Ceddo> | "Did you know you can marry your cousin in Wisconsin? You know who married his cousin, too? Hitler's father." |
| 17:27 | < maoranma> | Can't shoot a whale from the back of a pickup truck in Tennessee |
| 17:28 | < Ceddo> | Fucking sucks. |
| 17:29 | < maoranma> | Or lasso a fish from the Gay St bridge. Nevermind there's never been any water under it to the best of my knowledge |
| 17:29 | < maoranma> | That one is specific to Knoxville where I live |
| 17:29 | < Ceddo> | Dude. |
| 17:29 | < Ceddo> | How do you add pictures to a group stream? |
| 17:30 | < maoranma> | In Flickr? No idea |
| 17:30 | < afny> | you |
| 17:30 | < afny> | join the group |
| 17:30 | < afny> | and then it's under add photo |
| 17:30 | < afny> | flikr has a really godawful UI |
| 17:30 | < maoranma> | It's Yahoo, what'd you expect? |
| 17:30 | < afny> | like, there are easy ways to do everything in it, but there are also BAD ways to do everything, and the bad ways are more represented |
| 17:31 | < afny> | it's mind boggling |
| 17:32 | < maoranma> | I just use Picasa Web, makes it easy to link to pictures in posts, and change the resolution as needed |
| 17:32 | < maoranma> | https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GWvOgXll-A4/T73JfJndjGI/AAAAAAAAB0M/aeKPYNg0_ E4/s400/100_0435.JPG for example |
| 17:32 | < maoranma> | That's 400 wide, but if I wanted it 800 wide? just change the s400 to s800 |
| 17:33 | < afny> | I don't use picassa because I got scared about google's ownership policy |
| 17:33 | < afny> | I'm not 100% clear on it but I don't think you retain the rights in the same way that you do on Flikr |
| 17:33 | < afny> | doesn't matter so much for lego stuff I guess but for drawings it does |

| 17:37 | | maoranma is now known as Noah |
| 17:38 | < afny> | mofying my content, eh |
| 17:38 | < afny> | mofy my content my ass, GOGLE. |
| 17:38 | < Noah> | Not directly, but for their own use |
| 17:39 | < afny> | I literally don't understand |
| 17:39 | < afny> | what you're saying. |
| 17:39 | < afny> | I mean, they won't modify my pictures in my picassa album and just leave them there to troll me, no |
| 17:39 | < Noah> | They're not going to go into your pictures and recolor your frames because they think they'd be better in pink, obviously |
| 17:39 | < afny> | No, but say if I painted something and put it in my picassa album |
| 17:40 | < Noah> | But, if you make a cool google icon, they might borrow that |
| 17:40 | < afny> | they could use it in a splash to advertise picassa albums |
| 17:40 | < afny> | without my consent |
| 17:40 | < afny> | they could modify it |
| 17:40 | < Noah> | Yea sure |
| 17:40 | < afny> | that's |
| 17:40 | < afny> | sum bullshit |
| 17:40 | < afny> | all I'm saying. |
| 17:40 | < afny> | I think I've decided on a SCALE for my spaceships |
| 17:41 | < afny> | one round 1 x 1 plate is the size of a heavy bomber or 747 |
| 17:41 | < afny> | hm |
| 17:41 | < afny> | nah, that's a little too big |
| 17:42 | < Ceddo> | HEY GUISE. |
| 17:42 | < Ceddo> | I JUST GOT AN EMAIL. |
| 17:42 | < Ceddo> | Subject: "Your Mastercard Details" |
| 17:42 | < Ceddo> | From: MasterCard@h1606991.stratoserver.net |
| 17:42 | < Ceddo> | LOOKS LEGIT. |
| 17:42 | < afny> | CC me in on that |
| 17:42 | < afny> | I want to see just how LEGIT IT IS |
| 17:42 | < Ceddo> | Baleeted. |
| 17:42 | < afny> | Don't worry, I'm a lawyer. |
| 17:42 | < Ceddo> | Including the 100kb *.html attachment. |
| 17:43 | < afny> | haha |
| 17:43 | < Ceddo> | Largest website ever. |
| 17:43 | < Ceddo> | I don't even have a MasterCard. |
| 17:44 | < afny> | maybe they just wanted to give you a mastercard |
| 17:44 | < Ceddo> | Oh man. |
| 17:44 | < Ceddo> | I almost set myself up for the most embarassing yet hilarious fail of the day. |
| 17:45 | < Ceddo> | I got up, and because I have preposterous amounts of testosterone (PREPOSTERONE!) I also adjust my balls. As I walked to the door to go and take a leak, I rolled my ankle. |
| 17:45 | < Ceddo> | I stumbled forward, hand still in my pants, and just managed to catch myself on the door frame. |
| 17:46 | < Ceddo> | I was so close from slamming my head against the door and knock myself out with a hand buried in my pants. |
| 17:46 | < Ceddo> | Everything went better than expected. |
| 17:46 | < afny> | that depends on your perspective |
| 17:47 | < Ceddo> | Well, I did not pass out with a hand cupping my balls. |
| 17:47 | < Ceddo> | Pretty big achievement right there. |
| 17:47 | < afny> | From YOUR perspective, huge. |
| 17:47 | < afny> | From those who would've laughed at you, a net loss. But they're assholes. |
| 17:47 | < afny> | okay, this scale makes a little more sense: one round 1x1 plate is approximately the HEIGHT of a mobile frame. |
| 17:48 | < afny> | these ships are pretty much the smallest I can build with any real detail |
| 17:48 | < Ceddo> | I am imagining a single 1x2 slope. |
| 17:48 | < Ceddo> | With a 1x1 round plate in transblue as an engine. |
| 17:48 | < afny> | slightly bigger |
| 17:48 | < afny> | once I name them I'll show you |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | One needs to be called Bugbear. |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | The other Hobgoblin. |
| 17:49 | < afny> | I would but the hobgoblin is the name of a drone in EVE |
| 17:49 | < Ceddo> | Lemme go grab that laser pointer before I forget it. BRB. |
| 17:49 | < afny> | and they actually kind of look like that |
| 17:50 | < Noah> | Gobhoblin |
| 17:50 | < afny> | then again all the greek mythology names in eve didn't stop me from using those names on my frames... |
| 17:50 | < Noah> | Fixed |
| 17:50 | < afny> | Hobobear. |
| 17:56 | < Ceddo> | I have returned. |
| 17:56 | < Noah> | prove it |
| 17:56 | < Ceddo> | The best part of picking up equipment after presentations? |
| 17:56 | < Ceddo> | Free cookies. |
| 17:56 | < Ceddo> | And I get to play with a laser pointer. |
| 17:56 | < Ceddo> | Read my fanfic post, afny. You know you want to. |
| 17:57 | < afny> | As soon as I name these damn SHIPS |
| 17:57 | < afny> | then I WILL. |
| 17:57 | < Ceddo> | Good. |
| 17:58 | < Ceddo> | Your BrickLink order #2832451 was shipped today May 24, 2012 and should be reaching you soon! |
| 17:58 | < Ceddo> | AWW YEAH. |
| 17:58 | < Ceddo> | First half of my stations kit. |
| 17:59 | < Ceddo> | Also, 6 T bricks, 9 motors, a mallet, 50 1x1 round plates and 14 light gray headlight bricks. |
| 17:59 | < Ceddo> | FLOCK TO ME, MY BABIES: |
| 18:00 | < Noah> | Did Soren really go to Malay? |
| 18:01 | < Noah> | Packed, not yet shipped, blah |
| 18:01 | < Ceddo> | I think he did. |
| 18:02 | < Ceddo> | With a bunch of bricks in his carry-on. |
| 18:02 | < Ceddo> | Read the fanfic, Noah. |
| 18:02 | < Ceddo> | I demand feedback. |
| 18:02 | < Ceddo> | DEMAND. |
| 18:02 | < Noah> | Well, I know they have internet over there, because I've done a /list on DAL.net, he should at least pop in and say hi |
| 18:03 | < Noah> | What fic? wtf r u talkin aboot? |
| 18:03 | < afny> | it's in the fanfiction board |
| 18:03 | < afny> | These forum users, eh? |
| 18:04 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7262515294/in/photostream |
| 18:04 | < Noah> | Perhaps later, I actually need to get started on some chores, still so much to do |
| 18:04 | < Noah> | And take the fucking Christmas tree down, it's goddamn May |
| 18:04 | < Noah> | I told you my mother was crazy |
| 18:05 | < afny> | wow |
| 18:05 | < afny> | ...that's ridiculous |
| 18:05 | < Noah> | "I'll take down by Feb" were her exact words |
| 18:06 | < Noah> | Which I knew then were bullshit |
| 18:06 | < Ceddo> | Haha. |
| 18:06 | < Ceddo> | So. |
| 18:06 | < Ceddo> | Guess who just called me. |
| 18:06 | < Noah> | Dumbass McDeleterson |
| 18:06 | < Ceddo> | Dr. Deleted Objects. |
| 18:06 | < afny> | le presidente de burundi |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | Well, guess what. Now that his emails are restored ... |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | ... he exceeded his account limitations. |
| 18:07 | < Noah> | haha |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | WHO'DA THUNK. |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | Well, now he wanted me to fix that. |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | I was gonna give him another half gig or so. |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | But he much rather had his sent objects ... wait for it ... |
| 18:07 | < Ceddo> | ... deleted. |
| 18:08 | < Noah> | FUCK |
| 18:08 | < Ceddo> | SO I DID THAT. AFTER ASKING 5 TIMES. |
| 18:08 | < Noah> | Are you sure? |
| 18:08 | < Noah> | Are you really sure? |
| 18:08 | < Ceddo> | And then I deleted the sent objects, but not a single one from today. Because the older ones are stored. |
| 18:08 | < Noah> | I mean, because when I fucking delete these, they're gone, for realz |
| 18:08 | < Noah> | You guys are a lot nicer |
| 18:09 | < Noah> | If someone put something in the deleted folder, and it got permanently deleted, at comcast, I would've had to file a ticket with the NSD, wait like a week and a half, then call the customer back and explain that we cannot reover deleted emails |
| 18:10 | < Noah> | Even after explaining that to them in the first place |
| 18:11 | < Noah> | "But I had important email in there!" Uh, sir, I see you've made a folder called IMPORTANT!, with the ! and everything |
| 18:11 | < Noah> | WHY DID YOU NOT PUT THEM THERE |
| 18:12 | < Noah> | I can't work tech support anymore, I've ground my patience teeth away, and my give-a-fuck gland is all dried up |
| 18:16 | < afny> | hrm |
| 18:16 | < afny> | do you guys know what that microscale lego spaceship game is |
| 18:16 | < afny> | I know there is one |
| 18:16 | < afny> | I saw a build for it the other day |
| 18:17 | < Noah> | Well, I asked Soren, and he said he had something like that on the backburner, but I'm not aware of one yet |
| 18:17 | < Noah> | I'm playing around when one myself, but it's currently all in my head at the moment |
| 18:17 | < Ceddo> | Oh good god. |
| 18:17 | < afny> | Maybe it was actually one of his builds, but it didn't look like it...I wasn't paying attention very closely |
| 18:17 | < Ceddo> | I have this retarded broad on the phone. |
| 18:17 | < afny> | it seemed like whatever it was for, rules already existed somewhere |
| 18:17 | < Ceddo> | GOOD FUCKING GOD. |
| 18:18 | < Ceddo> | It's retard Thursday. |
| 18:18 | < Ceddo> | And I didn't get the memo. |
| 18:18 | < Ceddo> | "I NEED TO SEND THIS EMAIL BUT MY ACCOUNT IS FULL." - "Okay, let me check the limits and raise them. Meanwhile, could you .." - "I NEED TO SEND THAT EMAIL." - "I am aware. How about we ..." - "I NEED TO SEND IT NOW!" |
| 18:19 | < Ceddo> | "Yes Ma'am, I understand. I have raised the limits and ..." - "IT DOESN'T WORK!" - "I know. Because the server has to talk to the other server and replicate your new limits, so ..." - "OMG I NEED TO SEND IT NOW!" |
| 18:20 | < Ceddo> | "Yes Ma'am, how about we just clean up your..." - "JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT. NOTHING WORKS!" - "Please calm down. 2/3 of your account is sent objects. How about you..." - "I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!" |
| 18:20 | < Ceddo> | And so on. |
| 18:20 | < Ceddo> | I stopped talking to her, cleaned up her shit and sent the email while she was blubbering into my ear. |
| 18:23 | < Ceddo> | I need a smoke. People are horrible today. |
| 18:23 | < afny> | All the people. |
| 18:23 | < afny> | Uh, what is the transparent stand/cannon thing under |
| 18:24 | < afny> | I can't find it under brick, modified |
| 18:24 | < afny> | I don't mean in LDD, I mean on bricklinks |
| 18:24 | < afny> | oh |
| 18:25 | < afny> | BAR. |
| 18:29 | < Ceddo> | Yupp. |
| 18:29 | < Ceddo> | Read my drivel. |
| 18:29 | < Ceddo> | Fuck. |
| 18:29 | < Ceddo> | I'm all angry pants. |
| 18:34 | < afny> | Sorry, I got sidetracked shopping for clear shit |
| 18:34 | < afny> | no stores have ANY quantity of stands or clear radar dishes, and they also don't have any overlap |
| 18:34 | < afny> | the only store with more than 5 clear cannons sells them at 50 cents a pop |
| 18:35 | < Ceddo> | Which is ridic. |
| 18:35 | < Ceddo> | Find a local store. |
| 18:36 | < Ceddo> | I grabbed mine from his garbage bin for 10 cents a pop. |
| 18:37 | < afny> | I've never seen loose legos at a store around here |
| 18:37 | < afny> | I kind of live in the middle of nowhere |
| 18:37 | < Ceddo> | Poor you. :( |
| 18:41 | < afny> | uh |
| 18:41 | < afny> | is the clear stand radar dish I want |
| 18:41 | < afny> | 3 x 3 |
| 18:41 | < afny> | or 4 x 4? |
| 18:41 | < afny> | I didnt realize there was a distinction |
| 18:41 | < afny> | I've never seen one of those, but I'm not sure which one |
| 18:42 | < afny> | I guess a 3 x 3...weird |
| 18:47 | < afny> | oh wow |
| 18:47 | < afny> | this is very long |
| 18:47 | < afny> | I'm going to get lunch before I read it |
| 18:59 | < Ceddo> | On my way home now. |
| 18:59 | < Ceddo> | When I am back, you read that. |
| 18:59 | < Ceddo> | Laters! |

| 19:24 | < Noah> | And I already have my Knox card |
| 19:24 | < Noah> | So I can use both libraries, woohoo |
| 19:25 | < Noah> | The Knox county system is neat, I can check out anything over the computer, or queue it if it's out, then when it's in, have it shipped to my closest branch, in my case the one I pass twice a week heading to school |
| 19:26 | < Noah> | And I live in walking distance of the other, but I don't know if they'll ship books to a different branch |
| 19:26 | < Noah> | For the Sevier one that is |
| 19:33 | < Noah> | Well, there's no online database for the sevier county one, so I'll just use them when Knox doesn't have a book and they do |

| 21:11 | < Cedric> | Okay. So tell me if I am wrong, but is the death of one 'frame the birth of two or three new ones? |
| 21:12 | < Noah> | I'm assuming the word "worth" was supposed to be in there |
| 21:13 | < Noah> | And I'd wager yes if it's a new design, once you have documented the current frame |
| 21:19 | < Cedric> | I just killed the VMW-10 Mailman. |
| 21:19 | < Cedric> | And have enough parts to finish 2 ST07w Chubs. |

| 21:53 | < KarolineDianne> | GOOD NEWS EVERYONE |
| 21:54 | < KarolineDianne> | My second lego shipment came in today and I was able to make my first UF-13 Vulture frame irl! |
| 21:54 | < KarolineDianne> | And it ROCKS |
| 21:54 | < Cedric> | YAY |
| 21:54 | < KarolineDianne> | Though, my phone is charging so I can't take pics yet. |
| 21:54 | < Cedric> | GOOD NEWS KAROLINE. |
| 21:54 | < Cedric> | I HAVE A NEW NICKNAME FOR YOU. |
| 21:55 | < Cedric> | IN MY AUTHORITY AS THE TOKEN DICKHEAD, YOU SHALL NOW BE KNOWN AS KARRY. ENJOY. |
| 21:55 | < KarolineDianne> | Karry? |
| 21:55 | < Cedric> | Also, you are the channel mascot, by majority vote. |
| 21:55 | < Cedric> | Yes. Like Carrie. |
| 21:55 | < KarolineDianne> | I saw that. :I |
| 21:55 | < KarolineDianne> | I actually go by Karla. |
| 21:55 | < Cedric> | I applaud you to your new name and station. |
| 21:55 | < Cedric> | We will disregard that. |
| 21:56 | < Cedric> | Karla is the wife of Karlo. Y'know, Mickey's archenemy. Uneccaptable. |
| 21:56 | < Cedric> | *Unacceptable |
| 21:56 | < KarolineDianne> | I also went by Kauru when I was in my japanese class. |
| 21:56 | < KarolineDianne> | So I guess I'm Karry now... All right. |
| 21:57 | < KarolineDianne> | So, were you the only vote for me to be mascot? I only ever saw 1 vote. |
| 21:58 | < KarolineDianne> | brb |
| 22:01 | < Cedric> | So? |
| 22:01 | < Cedric> | My vote is valid. |
| 22:01 | < Cedric> | There has been no counter vote. |
| 22:05 | < KarolineDianne> | lol |
| 22:09 | < KarolineDianne> | So, I've been a little distracted with Dragon's Dogma. I went out and got it... It's so amazing... |
| 22:11 | < KarolineDianne> | I probably shouldn't have spent 60 bucks on a game right now, but I did... :I |

| 22:14 | < Cedric> | Well, to each their own. I bought that much legos. :D |
| 22:17 | < KarolineDianne> | Ooh, nice axes |

| 22:18 | < afny> | Heyuh don't hit me but I still haven't read your story |
| 22:18 | < afny> | I was makin' THIS |
| 22:18 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7263885750/in/photostream |
| 22:18 | < KarolineDianne> | Oh cool! |
| 22:19 | < KarolineDianne> | Also, heya Afny! |
| 22:19 | < afny> | o7 |
| 22:20 | < afny> | Welcome to IRC |
| 22:20 | < afny> | I trust no one has threatened violence |
| 22:20 | < KarolineDianne> | Nah |
| 22:20 | < KarolineDianne> | I'm the channel mascot. |
| 22:20 | < KarolineDianne> | :P |
| 22:21 | < afny> | Mascot is a high risk job |
| 22:21 | < afny> | it's usually hard to see out of the suit. |
| 22:21 | < KarolineDianne> | What suit? |
| 22:21 | < afny> | http://i.imgur.com/VeNBg.gif |
| 22:22 | < KarolineDianne> | I have learned how to T-Rex. I need a driver. |
| 22:22 | < afny> | Because your arms can't reach the weel? |
| 22:22 | < KarolineDianne> | :P |
| 22:22 | < KarolineDianne> | Anyway, Cedric voted me as mascot, so I'm the mascot.. I guess. |
| 22:23 | < KarolineDianne> | Prolly cuz I flew away on a rainbow the other day. |
| 22:23 | < afny> | that doesn't sound like voting |
| 22:23 | < afny> | he sounds more like a dictator |
| 22:23 | < afny> | or at least an american politician |
| 22:23 | < KarolineDianne> | He was the only one who voted. |
| 22:23 | < KarolineDianne> | So it was 1 vs 0 xD |
| 22:23 | < afny> | that's pretty strong in your favor, I'd say you earned it. |
| 22:23 | < afny> | crushed the competition, basically. |
| 22:24 | < KarolineDianne> | o3o |
| 22:24 | < KarolineDianne> | omfg I'm so in love with my new Frame |
| 22:24 | < KarolineDianne> | I finally managed to get the pieces to make a UF-13 Vulture, that one I did a sketch of. |
| 22:25 | < afny> | Did you post it? |
| 22:25 | < KarolineDianne> | Pieces came in today, and now I have a beautiful little warmachine with dual miniguns. |
| 22:25 | < KarolineDianne> | Phone's charging, haven't taken pics yet. |
| 22:25 | < afny> | I wanna seeee |
| 22:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | I still need to de-archive all of my lego parts and start building |
| 22:26 | < afny> | ARCHIVE |
| 22:26 | < afny> | in my day, we called that a BUCKET. |
| 22:26 | <@ToxicFrog> | It's in a bucket which is itself in a rented long-term storage unit. |
| 22:27 | < afny> | Oh yeah, well in MY day we called that a long-term storage unit. |
| 22:27 | <@ToxicFrog> | Also, on The Red Queen's Hypothesis - does MFZ have rules for orbital combat now, or is this something else you were working on? |
| 22:27 | < Cedric> | AFNY. |
| 22:28 | < Cedric> | WHY. |
| 22:28 | | * ToxicFrog ponders the feasability of playing Full Thrust with lego |
| 22:28 | < Cedric> | YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE. |
| 22:28 | < afny> | Just ships, they may or may not be in the MFZ setting once the SC stance on spaceships becomes clear |
| 22:28 | < afny> | I posted some other ships on the forums |
| 22:28 | < afny> | HEY OKAY |
| 22:28 | < afny> | I HAD TO BUILD SPACESHIPS |
| 22:28 | < afny> | I'm going to read it NOW |
| 22:28 | < afny> | right this very INSTANT. |
| 22:28 | < afny> | Also that movie SUCKS. |
| 22:29 | < Noah> | Hello KarolineDianne |
| 22:29 | < KarolineDianne> | herro |
| 22:29 | < afny> | Also frog, apparently Soren has a lego space combat game on the backburner, but I could've sworn I saw it mentioned on Flikr the other day |
| 22:30 | < afny> | or a different lego space combat game, and the comments certainly seemed to indicate the rules already existed...but like everything cool I see on the internet, I've forgotten where I saw it. |
| 22:30 | < Noah> | lern2bewkmark |
| 22:30 | < Noah> | I'm out of soda *twitch* |
| 22:33 | < KarolineDianne> | Who needs to learn to bookmark...? |
| 22:33 | < Noah> | afny: |
| 22:33 | < Noah> | afny, rather. |
| 22:36 | < Cedric> | So. |
| 22:36 | < Cedric> | NOAH. |
| 22:36 | < Cedric> | DID YOU READ IT. |
| 22:36 | < Noah> | nah, still busy |
| 22:36 | < Cedric> | :( |
| 22:36 | < Cedric> | All for nought..! |
| 22:37 | < Noah> | blahblahblah, I'll read it eventually |
| 22:39 | < Cedric> | THat's what they all say and the Iron Curtain is lifted. |
| 22:39 | < KarolineDianne> | Aaaaaand |
| 22:39 | < KarolineDianne> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/karolinedianne/7264078952/in/pool-438009@N25 KABOOM! |
| 22:42 | < Cedric> | *claps* :) |
| 22:43 | < afny> | Awesome |
| 22:43 | < afny> | we definitely don't have enough frames that blur the line between head and torso |
| 22:43 | < KarolineDianne> | Now that I know how awesome these are bricked, I need to get more pieces...! I only ordered enough to make one. |
| 22:44 | < KarolineDianne> | Lol, almost all my Frames do that. |
| 22:44 | < KarolineDianne> | Only one actually has a 'head'. |
| 22:44 | < afny> | is the head a system? |
| 22:44 | < KarolineDianne> | No :I |
| 22:44 | < KarolineDianne> | It's just a head, like the Chub's head. |
| 22:46 | < Noah> | Yes, without a head, you get a stupid bonus die, it's purple. If you roll an odd number, then your frame falls over |
| 22:46 | < KarolineDianne> | D'oh |
| 22:46 | < afny> | I really want to make a frame who's head is a system |
| 22:47 | < afny> | Or one where the faceplate/front armor is a system and when you scrap it, you can see the pilot inside |
| 22:48 | < afny> | I'm reading your story right now, really, I'm just extremely ADD |
| 22:53 | < KarolineDianne> | I gotta go, rpg game going on. See you guys! |

| 23:01 | < Cedric> | That's okay. |
| 23:01 | < Cedric> | You can read it in installments, after all. |
| 23:02 | < afny> | read the first three |
| 23:03 | < afny> | one thing I would suggest writing style wise is to seperate your characters voice from the narrator's |
| 23:03 | < afny> | but the first part MIGHT be an exception considering it's some sort of memory log? |
| 23:04 | < afny> | Er, I don't mean like |
| 23:04 | < afny> | seperate the text physically |
| 23:04 | < afny> | I just mean that sometimes the narrator uses phrasing that would normally be attributed to Decker |
| 23:04 | < Noah> | afk for a bit |
| 23:06 | < afny> | on an unrelated note |
| 23:06 | < afny> | where did you get those energy axes |
| 23:16 | < Cedric> | Cool stuff, eh? Found them at my local store and grabbed 4. |
| 23:16 | < Cedric> | I think they look beast. |
| 23:24 | < afny> | I'm thinking about getting some color backdrop for my lightbox and borrowing my sister's camera |
| 23:24 | < afny> | and doing HD reshoots of all my frames |
| 23:25 | < afny> | I guess I'll wait till my bricklink orders get here though so I can give some of my chubs traditional shoulders |
| 23:25 | < Cedric> | Yeah. Sounds like an idea. |
| 23:27 | < afny> | man |
| 23:27 | < afny> | now that I've started building stuff other than frames |
| 23:27 | < afny> | I just want to buy so much lego |
| 23:27 | < afny> | I know pretty soon I won't be satisfied with microscale |
| 23:28 | < Cedric> | Stop right there, criminal scum. |
| 23:28 | < afny> | but |
| 23:28 | < afny> | but |
| 23:28 | < afny> | at bigger scales |
| 23:28 | < afny> | you can have EXPONENTIALLY more greeble |
| 23:28 | < afny> | you can greeble ON GREEBLE. |
| 23:29 | < afny> | I do like microscale a lot, though |
| 23:30 | < afny> | it's like the equivalent of really broad, fast brushstrokes |
| 23:30 | < Cedric> | How you're making progress on the story? :D |
| 23:31 | < afny> | read part four |
| 23:32 | < afny> | another thing, though I don't think you could've known this at the time |
| 23:32 | < afny> | in april |
| 23:32 | < afny> | but human ijad don't traditionally pilot scramblers |
| 23:33 | < afny> | the ijad get inside some specific quadraped that the scrambler's control system is mapped to |
| 23:33 | < afny> | when they pilot them |
| 23:34 | < afny> | I'll read more in a bit, going to get |
| 23:34 | < afny> | foooood |
| 23:38 | < Cedric> | Yeah, didn't know back then. |
