01:11 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | Stuck... Trying to build something off of a small lego set. |
01:12 | <+FerrelFerret_phone> | Kind of a personal challenge. |

02:55 | < neoaez> | Something I've been working on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/73344611@N06/7736956282/in/photostream |
02:55 | < neoaez> | Very much a WIP. |
03:46 | <@randolph> | oops |
03:46 | <@randolph> | You're right here |
03:46 | <@randolph> | What's the white box on top for? |
03:47 | < neoaez> | Heh.. That's the frame's head. |
03:48 | <@randolph> | What brick is it? |
03:49 | < neoaez> | Cheese wedge turned backwards. Like this the one on this guy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/73344611@N06/7688224856/in/photostream/ |
03:49 | <@randolph> | ahh, because it's head on, and the only white thing in a low-contrast piece, it looks like a UI element that's not of the same "reality" as the rest of the frame |
03:50 | <@randolph> | I suggest you rotate it very slightly to get some depth, and change the color, even if it's just to light gray |
03:50 | < neoaez> | Good point. I just took an LDR screen capture real quick and used it. |
03:51 | <@randolph> | It also doesn't hurt that the frame you made can work with or without a "head" |
03:51 | <@randolph> | It's a cool build, btw |
03:51 | < neoaez> | That's malcolm's ever popular landmate in action! |
03:51 | <@randolph> | Ah |
03:52 | < neoaez> | It's this guy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/73344611@N06/7701631266/in/photostream/ |
03:52 | <@randolph> | Reading comprehension ftl |
03:53 | < neoaez> | Haha. |
03:53 | < neoaez> | I got my start with MSE for 4e, too. |
03:53 | < neoaez> | I also did some Mouseguard cards that never saw the light of day. |
03:54 | < neoaez> | *with 4e. |
03:55 | | FerrelFerret_phone [AndChat4505@Nightstar-ca090885.tmodns.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: Bye] |
03:55 | <@randolph> | What's Mouseguard? |
03:56 | < neoaez> | It is a RPG based on this comic: http://www.mouseguard.net/ |
03:57 | < neoaez> | The RPG was written by Luke Crane. He created the Burning Wheel RPG. |
03:59 | < neoaez> | In fact, another RPG he did using a version of the Burning Wheel RPG called Burning Empires, has several traits in common with MFZ -- fiction-wise and rules-wise. |
03:59 | < neoaez> | Though BE is infinitely more complex. |
04:00 | < neoaez> | I should say "rules-concept-wise". |
04:00 | <@randolph> | Ah |
04:06 | < neoaez> | These were the aborted campaign rules from 2006. Never use them! But comment 3 is Luke saying "Wow you just recreated Burning Empires!". |
04:06 | < neoaez> | http://www.lumpley.com/comment.php?entry=265 |
04:15 | < neoaez> | btw - I really enjoyed your "Exit Strategy" story. Do you write often? |
04:21 | | neoaez is now known as neoaeZzzz |
04:41 | <@randolph> | Thanks :) And no, that's the first piece of non-D&D DMing fiction I've written since college |

07:56 | <@Soren> | sigh at internets in Malaysia. |
07:56 | <@Soren> | For whoever is around - this set: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=nerd&itemID=31407255 is both available in bulk, somewhat cheaply, and contains... kind of a shitload of good parts. |
07:57 | <@randolph> | Hey Soren |
07:57 | <@Soren> | hey hey |
07:57 | <@randolph> | Ooh buzzsaws |
07:57 | <@Soren> | yeah |
07:57 | <@Soren> | all kinds of goodies. |
07:58 | <@Soren> | those wheel hubs, too. |
07:59 | <@randolph> | It's kind of unfortunate,but the only bits I'd want from there, while expensive (like droid torsos), I'd still get cheaper without the other stuff I have too many of |
07:59 | <@Soren> | super useful little knobbly part - thrusters, stupid-huge gun barrels. good waist, too. |
07:59 | <@Soren> | fair enough. |
07:59 | <@randolph> | Someone starting out could do worse than to grab 20 of those, though |
07:59 | <@randolph> | The kits I mean |
07:59 | <@Soren> | I was just looking and thought it really only had a couple things I can't find a use for. |
08:00 | <@Soren> | which as sets go, not a bad record. |
08:00 | <@randolph> | Yeah |
08:00 | <@randolph> | Your LEGO needs exceed mine quite a bit in volume and breadth, though :p |
08:00 | <@Soren> | maybe-sorta-kinda. |
08:00 | <@Soren> | that hull piece makes a good shield, too, BTW |
08:01 | <@randolph> | The inverted 4x4 slope? |
08:01 | <@Soren> | yeah |
08:01 | <@Soren> | love those |
08:01 | <@randolph> | There's a bunch of pieces I can definitely use |
08:02 | <@randolph> | Oddly, I think I've only ever made shields that happen to be the mass sink for transformation bits :p |
08:03 | <@Soren> | yeah, that's totally fair. |
08:03 | <@randolph> | Well, not that I want it to be a trend |
08:03 | <@randolph> | I like a lot of the shield designs the community has come up with |
08:03 | <@randolph> | It just doesn't seem to be where my brainstorming goes |
08:03 | <@randolph> | I should try some |
08:04 | <@randolph> | Oh, so remember our convo way back about the VF-1's break action head transform? I think I've got something usable |
08:04 | <@Soren> | I've come up with a few i like, but more and more I find myself leaning away from using shields at all. |
08:04 | <@Soren> | ooh. |
08:04 | <@randolph> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7730773008/in/photostream |
08:05 | <@randolph> | It's smooth and fun to actually perform |
08:05 | <@Soren> | fascinating. |
08:05 | <@Soren> | yeah, that totally works. |
08:06 | <@randolph> | And then I started studying the general silhouette, starting with a Super Deformed version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wangtech/7737170774/in/photostream/ |
08:06 | <@Soren> | yeah, i was just looking at that guy. |
08:06 | <@Soren> | super cute. |
08:06 | <@randolph> | I don't know how far I'll get, but hey, progress |
08:07 | <@Soren> | I think it's probably doable but the level of bullshit may be prohibitive. |
08:07 | <@randolph> | heh |
08:07 | <@Soren> | on the other hand, you don't know yet, and so far you've made some really neat shit. |
08:07 | <@randolph> | hehe, thank you |
08:10 | <@Soren> | that guy's stumpy little arms crack me up. |
08:10 | <@Soren> | I KEEL YOU WITH THE SLAP FIGHTING |
08:10 | <@Soren> | *wap, wap* |
08:11 | <@randolph> | hee |
08:12 | <@randolph> | Oh hey, I should use the clipplate that's 90-degrees rotated from that one for the hands, otherwise he can't use most equipment |
08:12 | <@randolph> | I don't think I'm going to develop that tank transformer much until I get the correct liftarms for the legs, though |
08:12 | <@Soren> | fair enough. |
08:13 | <@Soren> | that might be just the spot for some funky Bionicle legs, too. |
08:13 | <@randolph> | Oh, man, I totally haven't even looked at any bionicle |
08:13 | <@Soren> | potentially. |
08:13 | <@Soren> | LET US GO FORTH |

08:14 | < afny> | heyo |
08:14 | <@randolph> | mmm balljoints |
08:14 | <@randolph> | I could attach a tank tread assembly to one, and get some hipsplay |
08:14 | <@Soren> | yeah |
08:15 | <@randolph> | Bionicle stuff is so out there |
08:15 | <@randolph> | very organic, I like it |
08:16 | <@Soren> | yeah, I dislike that it's about two steps higher in detail than I usually want, but the good stuff is shockingly good. |
08:16 | <@randolph> | Ah, which makes it harder for general use? |
08:16 | <@randolph> | Did you see that crazy-detailed tiger? |
08:16 | <@Soren> | well, harder to integrate visually. |
08:16 | <@Soren> | yeah |
08:17 | <@Soren> | dude's really good. |
08:17 | <@randolph> | Definitely felt some awe. |

08:21 | <@Soren> | just who I was hoping to see! |
08:21 | <@Soren> | http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=2401&colorID=24 dare you find a use for this. |
08:21 | <@randolph> | That's easy. But we'd need to make a new 18+ subforum <_< |
08:22 | <@Soren> | well, yes. |
08:22 | <@Soren> | there's actually a matching, um, 'receptacle' for it already, so it's only a matter of time. |
08:22 | <@randolph> | That piece even comes with a double rack! |
08:23 | <@Soren> | Some of the technic part names are pure innuendo. |
08:24 | <@Ced23Ric> | Hello there! |
08:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... Bwahaha. |
08:25 | | CalaveraJoe [CalaveraJoe@Nightstar-3804829e.irvnca.sbcglobal.net] has joined #mf0 |
08:25 | <@randolph> | Hey CJ |
08:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | That part is neat. |
08:25 | < CalaveraJoe> | Hola |
08:25 | <@randolph> | I visited Glendale Galleria PAB, not much there, so I crammed a bucket full of 1x2 tan |
08:25 | <@Ced23Ric> | Here's my boring proposition on that part, Soren. |
08:25 | <@Soren> | shoot |
08:25 | < CalaveraJoe> | Ooh. 1x2 brick or plate? |
08:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Two of them, side by side, mounted at a 10° angle, facing upwards, ish. Back of a 'frame, ECM / Shield Generator - or Tesla Coils. |
08:26 | <@randolph> | CJ: bricks, for terrain |
08:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Alternatively, with the proper joints, for fully twist & turnable platforms. Say, a multi-warhead-launcher. |
08:27 | < CalaveraJoe> | randolph: Nice. How'd the quake feel up on the hill? |
08:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Would make for a decent base for an Artillery 'frame. |
08:27 | <@randolph> | CJ: Quakey. It didn't stop for a good minute |
08:27 | <@randolph> | You guys okay? |
08:28 | < CalaveraJoe> | Yeah. Didn't feel nearly that long down here. I suspect we're on more rock. There was a little hiccup, then a wham, then a short shake |
08:28 | <@Soren> | They would make good recoil spades. |
08:28 | <@randolph> | Ah, yeah, that'd do it |
08:28 | < CalaveraJoe> | Thankfully, the baby was actually still working on falling asleep, otherwise I suspect the poor tot would have been started awake something rough |
08:29 | <@randolph> | Ours didn't stir |
08:29 | <@randolph> | Nice... uh... "gentle" rocking <_< |
08:29 | < CalaveraJoe> | That's the other possibility, though it was loud down here |
08:29 | <@randolph> | ooh |
08:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | Soren: Backmounted, so they can deploy, use the smallest joints, turn them into "teeth" that dig into the ground, like braces. |
08:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | But that'd require a massive gun. |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | And I have no idea why anyone would EVER want a gun so MASSIVE, it outdoes the 'frame. |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh wait. |
08:30 | <@randolph> | <_< |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | I know why. |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | NGE. :D |
08:30 | <@Soren> | because they're you? |
08:30 | <@randolph> | Compensating for small attack dice |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | And that. |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | And because they are me. |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have to make a confession |
08:30 | < CalaveraJoe> | pop, and now I go |
08:30 | <@Ced23Ric> | The game we videotaped was the last I played. |
08:30 | < CalaveraJoe> | err oop, not pop |
08:30 | <@Soren> | I would be tempted to make some kind of fucked-up HtH chainsaw starfish. |

08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | And now 2 of my companies are in bits. |
08:31 | <@Soren> | excuse me, chainsaw dildo starfish. |
08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | And I cannot find the motivation to put them back together. |
08:31 | <@Soren> | oh dear. |
08:31 | <@randolph> | Like, guys out front of a peach plantation see a frame roll up, giant artillery cannon on its arm, and they're like "I bet he has a tiny d6" |
08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Well, I know how. |
08:31 | <@Soren> | I guess I could beat you with the bat of shame. |
08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | And accomplish what? |
08:31 | < afny> | brutality. |
08:31 | <@Soren> | nothing besides massive hypocrisy. |
08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | There's 3 more companies ready to go. |
08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Ah-HA! |
08:31 | <@Ced23Ric> | Heya Kev. |
08:31 | <@Soren> | I haven't unpacked the Lego i brought with me. |
08:32 | < afny> | o/ |
08:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Here's some news from over hurrr. |
08:32 | <@Soren> | so no bat of shame for me. |
08:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | In Russia, three punk girls are in court for verbally demanding the removal of Putin. |
08:32 | <@randolph> | Ooh |
08:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | Process due today, ish. |
08:32 | < afny> | are you talking about |
08:32 | < afny> | PUSSY RIOT |
08:32 | <@Ced23Ric> | AWW YEAH- |
08:32 | < afny> | yeah, I heard |
08:32 | < afny> | it's some bullshit |
08:32 | < afny> | Russia is pretty messed up right now |
08:33 | <@randolph> | yeah, there's no way we'd be Putin up with that here. |
08:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | And the Socialdemocrats have proposed a law to equalise same sex marriage under the German law. |
08:33 | <@Ced23Ric> | The motion was brought fourth by a baker's dozen of christian democrats. |
08:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | So, the conservative opposition asked for a law to make them equal, and the government formulated it, now it's gonna go through our Federal Council and Congegration. |
08:34 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, I am in a new Ministry, for training and later vacation substition. |
08:35 | < afny> | that's some good politics |
08:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | Employment & Society, this time around. |
08:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | Which happens to be the former Propaganda Ministry of Mr. Joseph "Joker" Goebbels. |
08:35 | < afny> | what's vacation substitution |
08:35 | <@Soren> | yeah, I'm not hearing any evidence of howler monkeys - ah, there, howler monkey. |
08:35 | <@Ced23Ric> | They turned his office into a meeting room, though. |
08:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | afny: Well, guy A goes on vacation, guy B substitutes for him. |
08:36 | < afny> | ah |
08:36 | <@Ced23Ric> | I wonder whether I should download 4 GB of data at work or not. |
08:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or whether I should throttle it, so it doesn't clog up the bandwith. |
08:37 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or just leave it be altogether. |
08:39 | <@Soren> | is it porn you could stand to explain to someone? |
08:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | It is the Firefall Beta Milestone patch- |
08:40 | <@Soren> | or is it porn you'd feel awkward talking about? |
08:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | I have to make a confession. |
08:40 | <@Ced23Ric> | My porn consumption is really, really low. |
08:40 | < afny> | left and right with the confessions today |
08:40 | <@Soren> | I don't think that's terribly unusual. |
08:40 | <@randolph> | Well, he's got a new gf |
08:41 | <@randolph> | So unless it's for homework, he shouldn't need much |
08:41 | < afny> | it's possible that it's completely due to my lack of stable relationships |
08:42 | < afny> | but I've never found relationship status and masturbation habits to be directly related |
08:42 | < afny> | or at least not in a subtractive way. |
08:42 | <@randolph> | I'm making shit up, I don't actually have any substantial data~ |
08:42 | <@randolph> | Actually |
08:42 | <@randolph> | Shouldn't that sex research data be public? |
08:43 | <@randolph> | Kinnsey report, I want to say. |
08:43 | < afny> | well, those are from the 50s |
08:43 | <@randolph> | There was a more recent one |
08:44 | < afny> | I dunno |
08:44 | < afny> | I find most sex science is actually bad science |
08:44 | < afny> | but I guess I'd probably find the same thing in any other field if I cared to look |
08:44 | < afny> | the good stuff is rare when it comes to anything. |
08:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | <@randolph> Well, he's got a new gf --- HA. |
08:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | I wish. |
08:46 | <@randolph> | They're surveys. Yeah, you're gonna have bad submissions. |
08:46 | <@Ced23Ric> | She don't message me. |
08:46 | <@randolph> | Ooh. |
08:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | I guess she was either full of it or changed her mind. |
08:47 | <@randolph> | Give it time. It looked like you guys had a great time |
08:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | Meh. |
08:47 | < afny> | the problem is usually the way samples are SELECTED (in a biased manner) rather than the submissions themselves. |
08:47 | <@Ced23Ric> | Haven't heard from her since Sunday. |
08:47 | <@randolph> | If you *actually said* you were gonna marry her, that might take a little while to get over the shock |
08:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | ... I showed her the order form HQ in a jokingly manner. |
08:48 | <@randolph> | afny: yeah, but that still leaves you with data, just qualified data |
08:48 | <@Ced23Ric> | And explained to her that I have to report her quote back, due to awesome. |
08:48 | < afny> | qualified with, "this data is useless", maybe. |
08:50 | <@randolph> | "This data applies to a population that correlates to high self-reporting" |
08:50 | <@randolph> | *highly to |
08:50 | <@randolph> | You sound so bitter and anti-scientific progress :p |
08:50 | <@randolph> | we're definitely making progress |
08:50 | < afny> | Oh, for sure |
08:50 | < afny> | what I'm saying, though |
08:50 | < afny> | is that lots of studies I read relating to human sexuality |
08:51 | < afny> | have biased ways of selecting samples |
08:51 | < afny> | to get the conclusions they want |
08:51 | < afny> | and in that way they invalidate the conclusions. |
08:51 | < afny> | again, it's not the samples themselves |
08:51 | < afny> | but how they are selected. |
08:52 | < afny> | my evidence is only anecdotal, but I think this happens a lot more with studies of human sexuality than, say |
08:52 | < afny> | ...rocks |
08:52 | < afny> | ...because people have a horse in the race |
08:52 | < afny> | and they don't, generally, when it comes to...rocks. |
08:52 | <@randolph> | In which case, the methodology would be apparent (as it was enough for you to discern) and it either gets the shit peer reviewed out of it, or it continues to languish |
08:53 | < afny> | see, THAT'S where my cynicism comes in |
08:53 | <@randolph> | And then occasionally stuff like that anesthesiologist in tokyo shows up~ |
08:53 | < afny> | because in my experience that isn't the case |
08:53 | < afny> | when it comes to stuff about human sexuality, that is. |
08:53 | < afny> | Sure, when it's about anesthesiologists or arsenic being used in RNA or whatever |
08:53 | <@randolph> | Well... it *is* the case |
08:53 | < afny> | people are right there to peer review |
08:53 | < afny> | but no |
08:53 | < afny> | shitty studies about human sexuality get published |
08:54 | < afny> | opinionized |
08:54 | < afny> | and they become fact in the public mind |
08:54 | <@randolph> | How much of academia considers that field particularly rigorous... |
08:54 | < afny> | because people have a hard time with that particular subject. |
08:54 | <@randolph> | wait... |
08:54 | <@randolph> | >_< |
08:54 | <@randolph> | This subject is just chock-full of innuendo |
08:54 | < afny> | uh |
08:55 | <@Soren> | The mind of a congenital punster, folks. |
08:55 | <@randolph> | I'm pretty sure I didn't get it from my parents |
08:56 | <@randolph> | Pathological, okay, I'll cop to that |
08:56 | <@Soren> | fair enough. |
08:56 | < afny> | Congenital doesn't imply hereditary |
08:56 | < afny> | it just means you were punning before you could walk |
08:57 | < afny> | but maybe you had some kind of horrible accident at age 12 |
08:57 | <@randolph> | Hm, I thought the root was genetic |
08:57 | < afny> | and you pun to cope |
08:57 | < afny> | http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/congenital |
08:57 | <@randolph> | Well, I was once bitten by a radioactive double-entendre |
08:58 | < afny> | was it hot? |
08:58 | <@randolph> | there was a burning sensation, yes |
08:59 | <@randolph> | huh, whaddaya know. root is genitus. I'd say I've been using it wrong this whole time, but I can't remember the last time I used it~ |
09:01 | <@Soren> | neither can I, oddly enough. |
09:01 | <@Soren> | I was right without knowing! |
09:01 | < afny> | genitus is probably the root of genetic and genital, though |
09:01 | <@Soren> | it's like being wrong, but without the crushing sense of failure. |
09:01 | <@randolph> | heh |
09:06 | <@randolph> | I just replaced the flimsy ladder gate to the white-walled compound with a coherent energy barrier. |
09:06 | <@randolph> | Because having primary security measures that can be bypassed with a power outage is *awesome* |
09:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | Especially, if a cup of water at the wrong spot can screw it over. |
09:08 | <@Ced23Ric> | It's like nano-shift walls from Doom. |
09:08 | <@randolph> | That has totally not happened since at least Rev 14 |
09:08 | <@randolph> | It's in the patch notes! |
09:13 | | * Ced23Ric pulls up the patch notes. |
09:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Fixed an issue were a cup of water would shorten the entire system. Fix applied: Water Dispensers removed from lobby." |
09:13 | <@Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
09:14 | <@randolph> | It was a very budget-conscious solution. |
09:14 | <@randolph> | I promoted that guy. |
09:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | Wait, here ... revision 13 ... |
09:15 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Fixed an issue were a cup of water would shorten the entire system. Cups now given out based on security clearance. External cups forbidden under threat of lethal force." |
09:15 | | * Ced23Ric stares blankly at randolph. |
09:16 | <@randolph> | That's what we in the industry call "graduated response." |
09:16 | <@Ced23Ric> | Oh there's a note to revision 13.1, too. |
09:17 | | * randolph makes a note to require proof of purchase to view patch notes. |
09:17 | <@Ced23Ric> | "Recent events - the PR visit of Cups'R'Us representatives - have proven the fix to be unapplicable. Reverting to revision 12 until revision 14 is live." |
09:18 | <@randolph> | I think we're also working on dermal hydration patches, too. |
09:19 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sounds like a decent idea. |
09:20 | <@Ced23Ric> | Revision 6, Known Issues - "Coherent Energy Barrier still buggy. Operators are asked to inform people passing through about jolts due to humidity in the tropical lounge area. Barrier may or may not activate/deactivate as expected." |
09:22 | <@randolph> | Fatalities were *well* within R&D projections that revision. |
09:23 | <@Ced23Ric> | .... you couldn't have stayed in Beta a bit longer eh? |
09:24 | <@randolph> | Well, you know the saying: "There comes a time when you shoot the engineer and release the product." |
09:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Typical saying. |
09:28 | <@randolph> | It just seemed expedient to test it *on* the engineers, you know? |
09:28 | <@randolph> | Motivate quality control. |
09:29 | <@randolph> | Also helps select for agile, resilient interns |
09:29 | <@Ced23Ric> | And keeps intern spots available all year round, too. |
09:31 | <@randolph> | In some departments, yeah. But oddly, competition for those departments seems to be somewhat inversely proportional |
09:31 | <@randolph> | I'll have someone look into it |
09:31 | <@randolph> | anyway, it's late, nn all |
09:34 | < afny> | oh wow |
09:34 | < afny> | I totally forgot about this PAB bucket |
09:34 | < afny> | I got back from NY and was so sick |
09:34 | < afny> | I just left it in my bag |
09:34 | < afny> | SO MANY BAR PLATES |
09:39 | <@Soren> | well yay |
09:42 | <@Soren> | OKay, so, apropos of my fondness for horrible humor... |
09:42 | <@Soren> | ...has anyone tried getting past a guard dog by wrapping a grenade in bacon and yelling 'fetch!'? |
09:43 | <@Soren> | Because it's both horrible, and seems like it would work. |
09:44 | <@Soren> | "Remember, it doesn't have to be a big bang, so long as it goes off inside the dog." |
09:48 | < afny> | Getting dogs to swallow pills, even in food, is pretty hard |
09:48 | < afny> | what you really want to do is coat the grenade in peanut butter so they can't eat it all at once. |
09:49 | < afny> | This reminds me of that GitS episode where Batou can't bring himself to shoot robot dogs |
09:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | The dog would probably just remove the bacon. |
09:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | Also, good guard dogs don't give a flying fuck about bacon. |
09:51 | <@Ced23Ric> | Or about any food anyone except their masters give them. |
09:51 | < afny> | they couldn't remove the peanut butter |
09:51 | < afny> | that's what I'm saying |
09:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | They don't care about it. |
09:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Good guard dogs only eat when told to. |
09:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | You can put a raw filet into a good guard dogs mouth, he won't eat it. |
09:52 | <@Ced23Ric> | Unless his master tells him to. |
09:53 | < afny> | In that GitS episode |
09:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Which is also why at the end of a dog handlers career/life, his dogs are put down - for K9 units, that is. |
09:53 | <@Ced23Ric> | Because the dogs cannot be retrained. |
09:53 | < afny> | Batou hacks the dog's eyes so he appears as their master |
09:54 | < afny> | HEY CED |

10:19 | < afny> | so |
10:19 | < afny> | I have this part |
10:19 | < afny> | and I can't figure out what the hell it is so I can buy more |
10:19 | < afny> | it's like... |
10:19 | < afny> | three studs long |
10:19 | < afny> | one brick tall |
10:19 | < afny> | it's a technic part |
10:19 | < afny> | it's got a technic bar hole on one side |
10:20 | < afny> | and on the alternate faces, a technic axle hole |
10:20 | < afny> | one hole on each end, and it's just sort of like a girder in betwen |
10:20 | < afny> | +e |
10:20 | < afny> | and on the axle hole end, there is a little molded detail like a circle with a beveled line |
10:20 | < afny> | I have them in old grey |
10:22 | < afny> | I'll take a picture of one in a bit |
11:16 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7738941290/in/photostream |

14:19 | < huhwhozat> | Last night I spent about 2 hours working on frame designs in LDD while watching StarTrek TNG |
14:20 | < huhwhozat> | then, then I decie to go to bed |
14:20 | < huhwhozat> | which leads to me taking another hour to build a totally different frame out of tablescraps :D |
14:21 | < huhwhozat> | the upshot of it is that I have two frames I'm pretty happy with, the digital design beign one I finally feel comfortable building a company around! |
14:26 | < afny> | Sometimes I hate that |
14:26 | < afny> | it happened to me yesterday |
14:26 | < afny> | I got ready to go to bed |
14:26 | < afny> | but then I spent the next hour |
14:26 | < afny> | just building lego |
14:26 | < afny> | naked |
14:26 | < afny> | in my room |
14:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Go on. |
14:26 | < afny> | before I eventually just set it down and went to sleep |
14:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Share more to me. |
14:26 | < afny> | like, I get all ready for bed |
14:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
14:26 | <@Ced23Ric> | How did you do this? |
14:26 | < afny> | brush me teeth |
14:27 | < afny> | wash |
14:27 | < afny> | take off my clothes |
14:27 | < afny> | IN THAT ORDER |
14:27 | < afny> | (usually) |
14:27 | < afny> | and I was fucking exhausted |
14:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | SO LOOK OUT! |
14:27 | < afny> | but then |
14:27 | < afny> | I just started building |
14:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Let's go back to te naked part. |
14:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | You sleep in the nude, I presume. |
14:27 | < afny> | of course |
14:27 | < afny> | WHO DOESN'T. |
14:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Of course. |
14:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | I DO. |
14:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | And then. |
14:27 | <@Ced23Ric> | Yu built some Lego. |
14:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Still naked. |
14:28 | < afny> | not like, purposefully |
14:28 | < afny> | just tablescraps |
14:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Aimlessly? |
14:28 | < afny> | yeah |
14:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Any results? |
14:28 | < afny> | I posted it |
14:28 | < afny> | but usually, no |
14:28 | <@Ced23Ric> | Sad. |
14:28 | < afny> | mostly when this happens I wake up the next day and see whatever monstrosity I built |
14:28 | < afny> | and just squint at it |
14:30 | < afny> | anyway huhwhozat |
14:30 | < afny> | any pics? |
14:32 | < huhwhozat> | I've had to borrow a cam, so I won't have pics of the scrapper. I'll put up some screencaps and an LDD file sometime after lunch, when I get a number of variations ironed out |
14:33 | < huhwhozat> | and what kind of wierdo sleeps in the buff? :P |
14:34 | < afny> | it feels so nice |
14:34 | < afny> | if you live anywhere with humidity it also lets you stay sane |
14:55 | < huhwhozat> | is the 'rocket roach' the scrap to which you were referring? I really like that guy |
14:56 | < afny> | nah, I was mostly clothed when I built that |
14:56 | < huhwhozat> | haha |
14:57 | < afny> | the thing I did last night was just the sniper and pack for the hop devil |
14:57 | < huhwhozat> | cool |
14:57 | < huhwhozat> | I don't really get what the pack is supposed to BE, but I like the look of it :D |
14:57 | < huhwhozat> | I just commented on the roach in your photostream, btw. I want to know how that torso goes together |
14:57 | < afny> | in game I'd dice the big ventral protrusions as a green |
14:58 | < afny> | otherwise I don't know what things are, ever |
14:58 | < afny> | but that frame would be 4 d6 rA, 1b, 1g, |
14:58 | < afny> | 2w |
14:58 | < afny> | um |
14:59 | < afny> | the roach has a really weird torso |
14:59 | < afny> | it's a tan droid body |
14:59 | < afny> | and like |
14:59 | < afny> | there's a plate clip that connects to the top of the droid body |
14:59 | < afny> | that allows the groin to attach' |
15:00 | < afny> | the backpack is just attached to a build off of that clip plate |
15:00 | < afny> | I think it's a headlight with another clip plate on it |
15:00 | < afny> | and then the head is just |
15:00 | < afny> | a minifig revolver |
15:00 | < afny> | shoved in the droid torso hole |
15:00 | | Ced23Ric [me@Nightstar-b2253e0c.de.colt.net] has quit [[NS] Quit: ] |
15:00 | < afny> | and the ski/headlights are attached via the droid torso shoulder pegs |
15:00 | < afny> | on clip plates |
15:01 | < afny> | the only thing you can't see in the photo is the way the clip plate/groin attachs I guess |
15:01 | < afny> | also, what do you mean by back flap? |
15:06 | | Soren [Soren@19FBCB.262D20.66FFA9.15A81B] has quit [Client closed the connection] |
15:12 | < huhwhozat> | I meant the backpack - which you explained. It looks like just a flap sticking straight out in the shots you posted. |
15:13 | < huhwhozat> | great explanation, actually; I'll bet I could build one now! (which I probably will :D) |
15:23 | < afny> | oh, do you mean the orange things? |
15:23 | < afny> | they aren't part of the backpack, which is a brown barplate and some other stuff |
15:23 | < afny> | they're hinges that attach to the skis |
15:23 | < afny> | those old three-prong pressure hinge plates |
15:26 | < huhwhozat> | ahhh |
15:26 | < huhwhozat> | those come in orange!? |
15:26 | < afny> | dunno, but theyr'e black |
15:26 | < afny> | they're |
15:26 | < afny> | just have an orange tile on top |
15:27 | < huhwhozat> | ah right |
15:27 | < huhwhozat> | hee, I wasn't looking at the image just then. Pretty obvious that's a tile :P |
15:27 | < huhwhozat> | (when I actually look) |

16:28 | < afny> | o/ |
16:28 | < afny> | morning |
16:30 | < huhwhozat> | ohaiyo gozaimasu |
16:46 | < DeathZero> | whats been up |
16:48 | < afny> | we were discussing sleeping naked |
16:48 | < afny> | care to weigh in? |
16:49 | < DeathZero> | O_o |
16:50 | < DeathZero> | Only if I fall asleep that way after some action. |
16:56 | < afny> | booo |
16:56 | < afny> | you're MISSIN OUT |
16:57 | < afny> | surprisingly the few times I've slept with clothes on in recent memory was after sex |
16:58 | < afny> | it really doesn't make a lot of sense. |
16:59 | < afny> | I guess it was because I was OFFERED pants |
16:59 | < afny> | It's like, I wouldn't choose to eat a fried bug |
16:59 | < afny> | but if someone offers it to me |
16:59 | < afny> | I'm not going to say no. |
16:59 | < afny> | that'd be offensive. |
17:00 | < afny> | wow, and thinking about it |
17:00 | < afny> | ...I've been offered pajama pants more times in my life by other people |
17:00 | < afny> | than I assume the normal person has |
17:00 | < afny> | and not even in a sexual context |
17:00 | < afny> | what the hell, life. |
17:00 | < afny> | stop giving me other people's pajams. |
17:00 | < afny> | +a |
17:05 | < DeathZero> | lol. |
17:05 | < DeathZero> | It's not like I'm alone in falling asleep naked after sex, she does too. |
17:07 | < afny> | would she freak out if you just started to sleep naked |
17:07 | < afny> | is that the kind of thing you have to start doing early in a relationship or else it's weird? |
17:08 | < DeathZero> | I think it'd suprise her at first but I'm sure she'd get used to it if I did. |
17:10 | < DeathZero> | There'd definitely be some confusion the first time I climb in bed naked and don't try to get some. |
17:11 | < afny> | pavlovian logic says you'd get some anyway |
17:12 | < afny> | if you're both conditioned to engage in sexytimes when naked in bed |
17:12 | < afny> | it'll probably end up that way |
17:12 | < afny> | the downside to sleeping naked all the time is you lose that response |
17:12 | < afny> | but the upsides are NUMEROUS. |
17:20 | < DeathZero> | lol. |
17:29 | < huhwhozat> | hmm, my counter argument is that pyjamas are SO COMFY! |
17:30 | < huhwhozat> | at least mine are :D |
17:30 | < afny> | I ask you simply |
17:30 | < afny> | why have comfy pajamas |
17:30 | < afny> | when you can have comfy sheets? |
17:31 | < huhwhozat> | because comfy sheets are much more expensive :D |
17:31 | < afny> | that's like |
17:31 | < afny> | the ONE acceptable answer. |
17:31 | < huhwhozat> | and comfy pyjamas can be worn around the house, while comfy sheets cannot, at least without difficulty |
17:32 | < afny> | that's why you get a robe |
17:32 | < huhwhozat> | but yes, if you happen to have comfy sheets, by all means! |
17:32 | < afny> | I don't, actually |
17:32 | < afny> | I have cheap sheets |
17:32 | < afny> | but even so |
17:32 | < afny> | EVEN SO |
17:32 | < huhwhozat> | haha |

17:33 | < huhwhozat> | honestly speaking, I don't have a problem with sleeping naked, I'm just playing devil's advocate |
17:35 | < afny> | I make a lot of compromises to achieve it |
17:35 | < afny> | for instance, I don't have comfy sheets OR a robe |
17:35 | < afny> | I put my goddamn jeans back on if I need to walk around and there are people about |
17:35 | < afny> | ...I think I'm going to buy a robe. |
17:40 | < Malcolm> | ...and this is not the conversation I was expecting |
17:41 | < afny> | nothing is sacred. |
17:42 | < Malcolm> | Apparently not |
17:42 | < Malcolm> | I would post pictures of my hilariously useless Gunbuddy variants, but I have inexplicably lost the memory card for my camera |
17:42 | < Malcolm> | They look really junkyard-esque |
17:43 | < afny> | I like that aesthetic a lot of the time |
17:43 | < afny> | they seem like they'd fit it well |
17:43 | < afny> | like a junkyard scopedog |
17:43 | < Malcolm> | These really do look like they have been put together by three blokes in a shed |
17:43 | < afny> | I look forward to seeing them |
17:43 | < afny> | also, you should check your lego piles |
17:43 | < afny> | I lost my SD card and found it there :P |
17:44 | < Malcolm> | But the commander has a proper, straight up Gunbuddy, because she paid for everything and dammit, they get the best stuff |
17:44 | < Malcolm> | Well, hopefully I find the card before the demos I'm meant to be doing on Saturday |
17:45 | < Malcolm> | Although, it's all a bit last minute, so they might not take place |
17:45 | < afny> | Hope you can make it happen |
17:45 | < afny> | (and take pics) |
17:46 | < Malcolm> | Well, here's hoping |
17:52 | < Malcolm> | If I can find the card, I'll grab a few photos of the Gunbastard and stick them in the relevant thread |
17:59 | < huhwhozat> | nice, Malcolm! I'd like to see 'em too! |
17:59 | < huhwhozat> | after what I put together last night, I'm thinking of building a free colonies scrap company |
18:03 | < Malcolm> | That kind of aesthetic can be really pleasing. Stuff like Junk Tank Rock or Maschinenkrieger are interesting sources for that kind of look. |
18:04 | < Malcolm> | Althoguh I wouldn't appropriate the political symbolism of Maschinenkrieger |
