Maybe I'll just sit on this design until Lego makes 6x3 red wedge plates... But I could be waiting a LONG time.

09:26
< FlakManiak>
I am.
09:27
< Shades_Corvid>
ah!
09:35
< FlakManiak>
Okay I need to get over the lack of 6x3 red wedge plates. I'll just make this thing in dark red or something and it'll be great.
09:35
< FlakManiak>
Or maybe orange? An orange dragon would be strange and crazy. Probably not orange.
09:36
< Shades_Corvid>
I wouldn't mind seeing an orange dragon...I have seen red, black, green, white and blue before
09:36
< Ced23Ric>
Oh hai.

I'm embarassed to photo mine, it's just covered in dirty dishes
14:06
< Ced23Ric>
You know what to do.
14:06
< locas>
nice
14:06
< locas>
so org
14:06
< locas>
yes, I know what to do
14:06
< Ced23Ric>
What? It's a total mess.
14:06
< locas>
burn it all down
14:07
< Ced23Ric>
No, you need to build stuff.
14:07
< locas>
ah
14:07
< Shades_Corvid>
That is some awesome level of organization, most of my parts or in baggies...or stuff into their originial box...
14:08
< Ced23Ric>
You guys must be joking.
14:08
< locas>
the way I build is like
14:08
< locas>
scatter parts everywhere
14:08
< locas>
and hunt for stuff that looks good with my eyes
14:09
< locas>
eventually I develop an understanding of where certain pieces are
14:09
< Ced23Ric>
That's horrible!
14:09
< locas>
yeah it's pretty bad
14:09
< Ced23Ric>
I'd an hero.
14:09
< locas>
the advantage of this method is I never have to organize anything in the first place :P
14:09
< Ced23Ric>
... mother of fuck.
14:09
< Ced23Ric>
I am out of lime cheese wedges.
14:10
< Shades_Corvid>
*gets into the bakery to bake lime cheese pies*
14:11
< Ced23Ric>
well, I have 2 left.
14:11
< Ced23Ric>
And I need .. 3 more.
14:12
< Ced23Ric>
Found 2.
14:12
< Ced23Ric>
So 1 more.
14:12
< Ced23Ric>
Well fuc that ain't gonna happen.
14:12
< Ced23Ric>
Looks like that'll be the Captain.
14:12
< Ced23Ric>
(That's how I do unit markings. I run out of parts.)
14:13
< Shades_Corvid>
I am really surprised no one has built a frame based on Rhino from the new Amazing Spider-man
14:14
< Ced23Ric>
As if I would go and watch that shit.
14:14
< Shades_Corvid>
Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a good movie, better then the first one I thought and I liked the first one.
14:15
< Shades_Corvid>
Not enough to buy it though
14:15
< locas>
I'm watching this thing soren recommended, Short Peace
14:15
< locas>
it's 4 short films
14:15
< locas>
the first three were all like feudal japan/fantasy but this last one
14:15
< locas>
is hardsuits and post apoc
14:15
< locas>
it's good
14:16
< Ced23Ric>
Link, soure, anything?
14:16
< locas>
I dunno it's called short peace :P
14:19
< Ced23Ric>
I stole some of aspects of your weapon design.
14:19
< Ced23Ric>
Tap barrel/front sight, for example.
14:19
< locas>
are you makin frames?
14:19
< Ced23Ric>
Yessir.
14:20
< Ced23Ric>
I am demolishing my tan/lime Superchubs.
14:20
< Ced23Ric>
And replace them with new frames.
14:20
< Ced23Ric>
(Don't tell anyone it's still a Chub torso.)
14:20
< Ced23Ric>
Buuut new legs, arms, head, back and weapons.
14:21
< Shades_Corvid>
just give it a different belly
14:22
< Ced23Ric>
That, anyway.
14:24
< Ced23Ric>
My scrotum just wrecked my pants.
14:24
< Ced23Ric>
My balls literally busted the fabric.
14:25
< Shades_Corvid>

14:31
< locas>
okay this is ridiculous
14:31
< locas>
there is a naked man running toward an enemy robot with a tactical nuke in his hand
14:31
< Ced23Ric>
Where.
14:31
< Ced23Ric>
Outside?
14:31
< locas>
in this film
14:31
< Ced23Ric>
(Please say yes.)
14:31
< Ced23Ric>
Aww.
14:31
< Ced23Ric>
Which one?
14:32
< locas>
short peace
14:32
< locas>
I told you
14:32
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, okay.
14:32
< Ced23Ric>
So i guess you downloaded it.
14:32
< locas>
yeah
14:32
< locas>
it was quite strange
14:32
< locas>
the last episode of unicorn airs today
14:32
< locas>
pretty excited
14:33
< Ced23Ric>
I will do the same.
14:33
< Ced23Ric>
Power of torrent, go!
14:40
< Ced23Ric>
Alright, 3 of 8 done.
14:40
< Ced23Ric>
5 more to go.
14:43
< Shades_Corvid>
alright, not out a bit on the Booster Frame (not a mobile frame) but I have to go be a mentor
14:43

How do you change your name?

Ced23Ric, my starsector crashed
16:05
< locas>
what do
16:06
< Ced23Ric>
You're SOL.
16:06
< Ced23Ric>
Star again.
16:06
< locas>
I mean it won't launch at all
16:06
< locas>
I've never played it before
16:06
< locas>
it's probably a mod
16:06
< Ced23Ric>
Oh.
16:07
< Ced23Ric>
In that case, get Jave 8 (64 Bit).
16:07
< Ced23Ric>
Install, copy that into the JRE folder of Starsector.
16:07
< Ced23Ric>
That's a performance boost.
16:07
< Ced23Ric>
Wait.
16:07
< Ced23Ric>
Are you on a Mac?
16:07
< locas>
no
16:08
< Ced23Ric>
GOOD.
16:08
< locas>
welll
16:08
< locas>
technically I am
16:08
< locas>
but I'm running windows 7 via bootcamp
16:08
< Ced23Ric>
Well, then edit the params and change the memory from 512m / 1024m to 1024m / 2048m
16:08
< Ced23Ric>
That's another performance boost.
16:08
< locas>
it's a mod, I just disabled them all and it works
16:08
< Ced23Ric>
And as for it not launching ...
16:08
< locas>
gonna load them one at a time
16:08
< Ced23Ric>
... find out which one it is by ... yeah, that.
16:09
< locas>
mostly I just wanted emotional support in this trying time for me
16:09
< locas>
thanks
16:09
< Ced23Ric>
Anytime.
16:11
< locas>
hrn
16:11
< locas>
it's either lazylib or blackrock
16:11
< locas>
neither of which bodes well
16:12
< Ced23Ric>
LazyLib is NEEDED.
16:12
< Ced23Ric>
It's BR.
16:13
< locas>
it crashed with just lazylib ticked
16:15
< Ced23Ric>
Are you sad?
16:16
< locas>
quite
16:16
< Ced23Ric>
Short Peace is confusing.
16:16
< locas>
yeah
16:16
< Ced23Ric>
For starters, I have no subtitles.
16:16
< locas>
oh
16:16
< locas>
um
16:16
< Ced23Ric>
I get most of it.
16:16
< locas>
http://subscene.com/subtitles/short-peace/english/905156
16:16
< locas>
I used these
16:16
< locas>
they weren't terrible
16:17
< Ced23Ric>
Never.
16:17
< locas>
:|
16:17
< Ced23Ric>
I will finish this without.
16:17
< Ced23Ric>
While I figure out my last frame.
16:17
< Ced23Ric>
I have 3 grunts, 2 LMGs, 2 Arties.
16:17
< Ced23Ric>
So I need a marksman.

Hello?
16:18
< locas>
it's mostly focused on animation so
16:18
< Ced23Ric>
Hey Ray.
16:18
< locas>
it's not the worst thing to watch without subs
16:18
< locas>
you're crazy though
16:18
< Mantisking>
Hey, Chris.
16:19

Emma: Lol at those robots.
16:19
< locas>
oh are you on the last one?
16:19
< locas>
yeah
16:19
< locas>
they're hilarious
16:19
< Ced23Ric>
Totally.
16:20
< Mantisking>
Watched 47 Ronin last night.
16:20
< Ced23Ric>
Oh yeah?
16:20
< Ced23Ric>
How did you like it`?
16:21
< Mantisking>
Wasn't bad.
16:21
< Mantisking>
A little slow out of the gate.
16:21
< locas>
okay so I think the problem is
16:21
< locas>
I have the wrong version
16:21
< locas>
maybe
16:21
< locas>
I guess I'll just buy the game -_-
16:22
< Ced23Ric>
Soren and I did.
16:22
< locas>
I'm slightly more unemployed than both of you
16:22
< locas>
but
16:23
< locas>
this isn't a case of the game working better when you pirate it (ie being drm free)
16:23
< locas>
it's a case of getting access to rapid iterations
16:23
< locas>
and also it's cheap
16:23
< locas>
so whatevs
16:24
< Mantisking>
That Short Peace movie looks interesting.
16:25
< locas>
I'm lukewarm on two of the shorts and I really enjoyed two of them
16:27
< Ced23Ric>
The end of the last one is messed up.
16:28
< locas>
haha
16:28
< locas>
I thought it was great
16:28
< locas>
I really wanted the thing to go off though
16:28
< Ced23Ric>
yeah.

Heya!
19:20
< CalaveraJoe>
How goes it?
19:21
< Ced23Ric>
Just got done editing some pictures.
19:21
< Ced23Ric>
I had a builder's dream last night, got done with it over the day, and then I took pictures.
19:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Yay!
19:22
< Ced23Ric>
http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1400349408594.png
19:22

Artillery frame.
19:23
< CalaveraJoe>
Nicely done
19:24
< Ced23Ric>
http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1400350940813.png
19:24
< Ced23Ric>
And the regular version.
19:25
< CalaveraJoe>
Nice
19:25
< Ced23Ric>
... it's also a practice in taking pictures.
19:25
< Ced23Ric>
And then editing.
19:26
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
19:27
< CalaveraJoe>
What color background are you shooting them on?
19:28
< Ced23Ric>
A white piece of paper, because that's all I got.
19:28
< CalaveraJoe>
*nod*
19:28
< Ced23Ric>
I made a 1m x 1m battlegrid for D&D, flipped that upside down. That's my ... well, board.
19:29
< Ced23Ric>
Put a pillow on it, and a sheet of paper, and that's my backdrop.
19:29
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah. I have a few sheets of white foam core that I use. One as base, one as backdrop
19:29
< Ced23Ric>
Then, DSLR on tripod, tiny aperture, 10 to 25 seconds exposure, ISO 100.
19:30
< CalaveraJoe>
And my iPhone, *snicker*
19:30
< Ced23Ric>
16 MP original size, then imported into Photoshop, corrected, cutting away all background, sharpening and dust removal ...
19:30
< Ced23Ric>
And then I drop it into that checkered 1:1.5 file.
19:31
< Ced23Ric>
Adust sizes, move about, reduce from 3000 x 4500 to 1280x1920, save as PNG.
19:31
< Ced23Ric>
Pretty happy how they turned out.
19:33
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah, they look good. I asked about the BG because the cleanup was well done
19:33
< CalaveraJoe>
Usually that's easier with a high contrast something you can just magic wand outta there
19:35
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, yeah. For sure. Which is why I used the white paper.
19:45
< CalaveraJoe>
I really wanna tuck in and start on my next ship, but toddlers give no shits to what you desire
19:45
< Ced23Ric>
They usually don't.
19:45
< Ced23Ric>
Which is also why I haven't made that acquisition yet.
19:45
< Ced23Ric>
http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1400352295493.png
19:46
< Ced23Ric>
There's th entire company
19:46
< CalaveraJoe>
Very slick
19:47
< CalaveraJoe>
The unit on the lower right
19:47
< CalaveraJoe>
Theres a 1x1 plate, a 1 x 1 round brick and then???
19:47
< CalaveraJoe>
Same as the unit that's front and center
19:47
< CalaveraJoe>
On the gun, that is
19:47
< CalaveraJoe>
Actually, looks like all the guns have that bit
19:48
< Ced23Ric>
Oh, that.
19:48
< Ced23Ric>
That's the ... probe tool thing.

I'm starting to worry that I'm going to run out of orange accent bits
19:58
< Ced23Ric>
I an out of lime cheese wedges here.
19:58
< Ced23Ric>
And I only used ... 15.
19:59
< mraichelson>
rule 17: you will always run out of something during a build.
19:59
< Ced23Ric>
I think I am also out of 1x2 tan tiles and black claws.
19:59
< Ced23Ric>
White 1x1 round bricks depleted, too.
20:00
< CalaveraJoe>
I have . . . a lot of parts these days
20:00
< CalaveraJoe>
*side eyes the tub of 1,500ish travis bricks*
20:00
< CalaveraJoe>
But orange wasn't a color that I'd been fostering
20:00
< Ced23Ric>
Yeah.
20:00
< Ced23Ric>
I don't have any lego from kids days left.
20:01
< Ced23Ric>
So all my stuff is purpose-bought.
20:01
< Ced23Ric>
Hence I have little to no red, green, orange, blue.
20:01
< Ced23Ric>
I have some yellow and brown.
20:01
< CalaveraJoe>
But the big bits I'm building my fleet from have orange and yellow accents, and the Cap ship I just build has lots of orange, so it'll look screwy if the others for that fleet don't
20:01
< Ced23Ric>
But not enough for anything more than accents on a weapon.
20:02
< mraichelson>
all mine from when i was young went to my little brother.
20:02
< mraichelson>
then into my parents basement (about 1500 miles away)
20:02
< mraichelson>
then he raided those for all the white pieces recently. :\
20:02
< CalaveraJoe>
Some of my childhood lego are in Italy still
20:02
< CalaveraJoe>
Some of them got sold off at yard sales YEARS ago (15+ years probably)
20:03
< CalaveraJoe>
I have some great sets for fiddly bits, but I also like those sets as sets (several pirate ships, larger SW models, Modular City)
20:03
< CalaveraJoe>
My kit for general building, however, was largely built around Mf0
20:03
< CalaveraJoe>
Thankfully, I have multiple PaB walls nearby (that I pass regularly)
20:03
< CalaveraJoe>
Also, bricklink
20:04
< Ced23Ric>
Bricklink's all I get stuff from.
20:04
< Ced23Ric>
Fuck the flagship store in Berlin.
20:04
< Ced23Ric>
They approached me and asked me to buy only one cup, after they saw me stack the bricks space-efficiently.
20:04
< CalaveraJoe>
I'd say my kit's probably 70 / 30 : Lego Store / BL at this point
20:05
< CalaveraJoe>
... yeah, fuck that
20:05
< CalaveraJoe>
I've had employees at the Lego stores /help me/ obsessively fill cups before, lol
20:05
< CalaveraJoe>
And as soon as I show them Mf0 they usually get even more helpful
20:05
< Ced23Ric>
They were really cunty about it.
20:05
< Ced23Ric>
So I left.
20:06
< Ced23Ric>
Cup stayed there.
20:06
< CalaveraJoe>
I might have "accidentally" let the cup slip and fall
20:09
< CalaveraJoe>
My orange dilemma also stems from my desire to use the brick separator in the fleet *snicker*
20:09
< Ced23Ric>
What does a cup run you anyway?
20:09
< CalaveraJoe>
Large cups are $14.99
20:09
< CalaveraJoe>
Unless I get them at the Downtown Disney location, then I get a discount because I have an annual pass to Disneyland (its either 10% or 15%)
20:10
< CalaveraJoe>
With tax, the cups are $16 or so
20:10
< Ced23Ric>
See, I pay 14⬠for a large cup.
20:10
< Ced23Ric>
Converted, that comes out to almost US$20.
20:11
< CalaveraJoe>
Which really makes me wonder why there are so many inexpensive bricks on BL from Europe
20:11
< Ced23Ric>
Which makes Bricklink all the more attractive.
20:11
< Ced23Ric>
Buy in bulk, short delivery distance.
20:11
< Ced23Ric>
But for the sets, we pay what you pay - only in euro.

But then again, our taxes are 19%.
20:12
< CalaveraJoe>
True, but you get more bang for your tax buck than we do
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
Also true.
20:14
< Ced23Ric>
I mean, just the social system alone, and god knows I've needed it more than once.
20:15
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
20:15
< Ced23Ric>
Ambulance pickup at any time of the day is capped at 10 Euros.
20:15
< Ced23Ric>
Hospital stay is capped at 15⬠/ day, I think.
20:15
< Ced23Ric>
And for example, my tonsil removal surgery was all covered.
20:15
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah
20:16
< CalaveraJoe>
Ambulance pickup /with good insurance/ is often $200-$400
20:16
< Ced23Ric>
If you're shitfaced, you can call the cops and they will drive you home if you leave your car behind.
20:16
< Ced23Ric>
And so on.
20:16
< CalaveraJoe>
Hospital stays range from $100-$800 per day, just for the room / bed / saline drip
20:16
< CalaveraJoe>
... yeah
20:16
< Ced23Ric>
Yeah, you treally think twice about getting hurt.
20:16
< CalaveraJoe>
No, you don't, you think twice about taking care of it when you are though
20:17
< Ced23Ric>
Ha. Yeah.
20:17
< Ced23Ric>
That's the primary reason I would never consider the US for immigration.
20:17
< Ced23Ric>
(Let alone the process itself.)
20:17
< Ced23Ric>
I like my social systems.
20:18
< CalaveraJoe>
There are definite pros and cons for both

20:18
< CalaveraJoe>
And they get weighted based on comfort and habit
20:18
< Ced23Ric>
I find little pros to it, I guess.
20:18
< Ced23Ric>
I mean, I pay some 30% taxes on my income, and there's the 19% VAT, but ... I get a lot for it.
20:19
< CalaveraJoe>
Yeah.
20:19
< Ced23Ric>
And knowing that a broken leg will never ruin my life (to exaggerate) is a huge plus.
20:19
< CalaveraJoe>
I'd probably be okay with higher taxes if I knew I'd get something other than, I dunno, warmongering to show for it, for example
20:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Okay, time for me to get about doing things with my day
20:21
< CalaveraJoe>
Take it easy folks

Hello there, good sir.
23:47
< Ced23Ric>
You were absent for all my building.
23:47
< Ced23Ric>
and photographing.
23:47
< Ced23Ric>
And editing.
23:47
< Ced23Ric>
And such things.
23:50
< Ced23Ric>
But then again, you also missed the part where my balls shredded my pants. So that might be good.
