| 00:02 | < Soren> | Pfoom! |
| 00:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Alright. |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | What are actually, aside from carrier with B/Rp, meaningful cruisers? |
| 00:03 | < Ced23Ric> | BYYRa, BYRaRa, BYKRa ... that's it, isn't it? Maybe BYRaRp. |
| 00:04 | < Ced23Ric> | No G is a kick in the dick. I actually wanted a fast cruiser. |
| 00:10 | < Mantisking_> | I think I'm going to tell Joshua to change the ship sizes to just Cruisers and Frigates. |
| 00:10 | < Mantisking_> | Well, ask. |
| 00:11 | < Mantisking_> | And have "carrier" refer to any vessel with a Catapult. |
| 00:11 | < Soren> | Trying to wring unambiguous language out of Joshua is a bit of a task, but I wish you luck. |
| 00:12 | < FlakManiak> | If I were to build spaceships for IO, I'd have to make them look like the ships from Galaxy Trucker. |
| 00:14 | < Mantisking_> | So I've got this troll comment on my blog awaiting my decision to publish or delete. |
| 00:15 | < Ced23Ric> | What's it saying? |
| 00:15 | < Soren> | As ever, the question is: does deleting it end the problem, or prolong it? |
| 00:16 | < Mantisking_> | It reads; "What is even the point of this blog. All you are doing is taking Lego creations and saying "wow this one is made out of lego." "this one i dont like." "this one has lego attached to other lego"" |
| 00:16 | < Mantisking_> | And it's anonymous. |
| 00:17 | < Mantisking_> | I know, don't feed the trolls. |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | ātotal outsider fails to consider finer points of insider cultureā is not really news. |
| 00:17 | < FlakManiak> | Question: Are there actually any posts on your blog where you say you don't like a build? |
| 00:17 | < FlakManiak> | Because I can't recall any. |
| 00:17 | < Soren> | This person is probably a bored kid. |
| 00:18 | < Soren> | Or indistinguishable from a bored kid. |
| 00:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Hahahaha. |
| 00:19 | < Ced23Ric> | It is kinda genius, though. |
| 00:19 | < Soren> | I feel like the only response is āyou got me there!ā |
| 00:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, it has an amusement factor to it. |
| 00:19 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 00:20 | < Soren> | Thereās no point. |
| 00:20 | < FlakManiak> | I love how all three statements seem like they characterize the blog but are also really inaccurate. |
| 00:20 | < Soren> | You can apply that logic generally, to life. |
| 00:20 | < Ced23Ric> | "Captain Obvious, we have assumed orbit and are standing by." |
| 00:20 | < Soren> | And you get the same answer. |
| 00:21 | < FlakManiak> | If it said "Wow this one is made out of Kre-O", "this one I like", and "this one has Lego attached to Kre-O", then it might have been accurate. |
| 00:22 | < FlakManiak> | It's like the person didn't even read the blog. |
| 00:22 | < FlakManiak> | (The person trying to post that comment clearly didn't have enough Lego as a kid) |
| 00:23 | < Mantisking_> | I did say "I'm not sure" about one item in that post the comment is for. |
| 00:23 | < Soren> | I feel like this is the same adolescnet utilitarian reductionism that leads people to seriosly identify and revolutionary Marxists. |
| 00:23 | < Soren> | adolescent* |
| 00:24 | < Soren> | You know what, just assume I can spell. |
| 00:24 | < Mantisking_> | People walking around with Che shirts? |
| 00:24 | < Soren> | People jacking themselves off because they just discovered that something is arbitrary. |
| 00:24 | < Ced23Ric> | I need a colour pattern. |
| 00:24 | < Ced23Ric> | Give me something, Soren. |
| 00:24 | < Ced23Ric> | No pink. |
| 00:25 | < Soren> | Magenta and lime green. |
| 00:25 | < Ced23Ric> | We're talking SU here. |
| 00:25 | < Soren> | Checkered. |
| 00:25 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. Soren's right. I *should* build some pink frames. |
| 00:25 | < Ced23Ric> | GO AWAY. |
| 00:25 | < Ced23Ric> | No magenta, fuchsia, pink, lavender, purple, rosƩ or any of those. |
| 00:26 | < FlakManiak> | I "love" how Marxists will talk on and on about how everything is an artifact of human culture... And then in the same breath say a bunch of things are universal truths. |
| 00:26 | < FlakManiak> | On the other hand, from what I can tell, I like Marx. It's just his fanclub that gets me. (And you'll find that this was Marx's position, as well. "I am not a Marxist.") |
| 00:27 | < Soren> | Everything except the artifacts of one very particular European intellectual tradition is arbitrary! |
| 00:27 | < FlakManiak> | Ah yes, of course. |
| 00:27 | < Soren> | I think itās important to read Marx. |
| 00:27 | < Soren> | Just like itās important to read Hobbes, or Machiavelli. |
| 00:28 | < Soren> | Just, you also need historical context. |
| 00:29 | < Mantisking_> | I really have to sit down and build a couple of pink houses. I should have the pieces I need. |
| 00:29 | < Soren> | Even if you donāt, thereās been a lot of pink in PaB recently. Iāve seen 1x2 bricks a couple times. |
| 00:30 | < FlakManiak> | So Soren, if I were to build frames with pink, which pink is the most easily available? Which shade would you say looks best in the brick? How many types of pink even are there? |
| 00:30 | < Soren> | Hoo, boy. |
| 00:30 | < FlakManiak> | I'm thinking I might pair it with light bluish grey. |
| 00:30 | < Soren> | Bright Pink is the one Iāve had the most luck with. |
| 00:30 | < Soren> | Itās the one that shows up in Friends sets. |
| 00:31 | < FlakManiak> | (I know there are a bunch of shades of both pink and purple, but other than dark purple I haven't used any or seriously looked into the supply of any.) |
| 00:31 | < Soren> | Itās vibrant, in production, and good-looking. |
| 00:31 | < Mantisking_> | I've got a stack of 1x4 pink bricks in a large PaB cup. |
| 00:31 | < Soren> | IT will not look so good right next to light bluish gray. |
| 00:31 | < Soren> | Very similar values. |
| 00:36 | < Mantisking_> | I think it's time to break out the whisky and dump parts on the floor. |
| 00:37 | < Soren> | I like the sound of that. |
| 00:38 | < Mantisking_> | The only question is, which one? |
| 00:42 | < Ced23Ric> | Something smooth, with a hint of fruit as it rolls down the throat. Scottish, if possible. |
| 00:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Eh, I think it's time for bed. |
| 00:43 | < Mantisking_> | Sleep well, Ced. |
| 00:43 | < Soren> | ānight |
| 00:43 | < Ced23Ric> | And, also, tomorrow I'll see about building something ... less chunky. |
| 00:44 | < Ced23Ric> | The hinge prism shape only works so far at this scale. |
| 00:44 | < Ced23Ric> | That blob there is 16 studs on the millimeter. |
| 00:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Even if I make them overlap, that's not gonna do too much. |
| 00:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm. |
| 00:45 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe, actually ... |
| 00:45 | < Mantisking_> | Go to bed, Ced. |
| 00:45 | < Mantisking_> | :-) |
| 00:46 | < Ced23Ric> | I CAN'T. |
| 00:46 | < Mantisking_> | There's Lego to build with and ideas floating around your head? |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | I just got an idea for a katamaran. |
| 00:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Which, in itself, is already a bad idea. |
| 00:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Anyway. |
| 00:52 | < Ced23Ric> | I blocked it out, will continue tomorrow. |
| 00:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Bed time now. |
| 00:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Buhbye! |

| 07:52 | < Soren> | In theory! |
| 07:53 | < Soren> | You may get a kick out of this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/083xrxbj6g1fns8/Edge-class%20Frigate%2001.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/ca5ukdleduqez1d/Edge-class%20Frigate%2002.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/7hnglk73tsowqz7/Edge-class%20Frigate%2003.jpg |
| 07:54 | < Soren> | and by āget a kickā I mean āall but one of those red parts come in tan, you knowā. |
| 07:54 | < Soren> | ;) |
| 07:59 | < MittenNinja_> | looking good sir! |
| 08:00 | < MittenNinja_> | I realize that its all theorycraft at this point, but I'm thinking I'm going to enjoy frigates more than cruisers. |
| 08:01 | < Soren> | I bet youāre right. |
| 08:02 | < MittenNinja_> | that movement die is just too enticing not to take. |
| 08:03 | < MittenNinja_> | how've you been man? |
| 08:04 | < Soren> | Tired. |
| 08:04 | < Soren> | But good. |
| 08:04 | < Soren> | Checkās in the mail. |
| 08:04 | < Soren> | Looking at the best deals on parts for the holy shittoo many things i have to build. |
| 08:06 | < MittenNinja_> | no kidding. anything fun for the customs? |
| 08:06 | < Soren> | Not so much as a name yet. |
| 08:07 | < MittenNinja_> | that's too bad. I really dug seeing all the other custom companies you threw together for the last kickstarter |
| 08:07 | < Soren> | gotta talk about that, actually, but for right now, Iām happy just to be thinking about the stuff thatās already fixed. |
| 08:07 | < Soren> | Yeah, this time, there will be pictures. |
| 08:07 | < MittenNinja_> | glad to hear it! |
| 08:08 | < Soren> | The amount of throwing up slash packing i was doing the last time really took it out of me. |
| 08:08 | < MittenNinja_> | I can imagine. |
| 08:09 | < MittenNinja_> | I'm going to be doing some serious bricklinking soon myself |
| 08:09 | < MittenNinja_> | as soon as Dex and I figure out the logistics I'm going to be putting together some custom companies to sell out at dcc |
| 08:10 | < Soren> | Fun! They are a drain but I enjoy them. |
| 08:11 | < MittenNinja_> | yeah I enjoy them too. |
| 08:12 | < MittenNinja_> | I really like being able to throw together a cohesive group. more so than building a single frame |
| 08:19 | < Soren> | Yeah, and being able to convince someone to try something off the wall. |
