| 16:19 | < Mantisking> | Hello? |
| 16:19 | < locas> | hey |
| 16:20 | < Mantisking> | How are things? |
| 16:20 | < locas> | okay |
| 16:20 | < locas> | watchin farscape |
| 16:21 | < Mantisking> | Which version? |
| 16:21 | < locas> | there's more than one? |
| 16:21 | < Mantisking> | Well, there's the box set that has the whole series. |
| 16:21 | < locas> | it's whatever is on netflix |
| 16:21 | < Mantisking> | Which has horrible sound quality. |
| 16:22 | < locas> | this does not have good sound quality |
| 16:22 | < Mantisking> | Ah, I have no idea what's on Netflix. |
| 16:22 | < Mantisking> | The vocals and background sound are at the same level? |
| 16:22 | < locas> | something like that, yeah |
| 16:22 | < Mantisking> | Yup, that's from the series box set. |
| 16:23 | < Mantisking> | Supposedly there are new versions coming out now with a proper sound mix. |
| 16:26 | < Mantisking> | Doing any building while watching? |
| 16:27 | < locas> | no :( |
| 16:27 | < locas> | should be, I've already seen it |
| 16:27 | < locas> | showing it to my partner |
| 16:27 | < Mantisking> | Bummer. |
| 16:28 | < Mantisking> | I wanted to show it to my fiance. The horrible sound drove me nuts. |
| 16:28 | < locas> | yeah I forgot how bad it was |
| 16:29 | < locas> | it |
| 16:29 | < locas> | is bearable on this stereo though |
| 16:31 | < CedAtWork> | Heya. |
| 16:31 | < locas> | o/ |
| 16:33 | < Soren> | Oof. |
| 16:33 | < CedAtWork> | Hey Soren. |
| 16:33 | < Soren> | I guess we put the fear of God into our neighbors. Nary a peep last night. |
| 16:34 | | Mantisking [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-3lq4g4.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 16:44 | < CedAtWork> | very good. |
| 16:44 | < CedAtWork> | Soren, do you have a chicken, some chalk and maybe copper powder? |
| 16:45 | < CedAtWork> | Because I think eMail doesn't work to contact Joshua. |
| 16:46 | < CedAtWork> | Also: http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1400859064668.png |
| 16:47 | < CedAtWork> | 4chan is exploring "to-scale" buildings. |
| 16:56 | < Soren> | Damn, I sacrified my last chicken yesterday to get the DSl line back up. |
| 16:57 | < CedAtWork> | Aww. |
| 16:57 | < Soren> | Copper and chalk, though, i got. |
| 16:57 | < CedAtWork> | Burn some of it in a circle of sorts. |
| 16:57 | < Soren> | I made a demon goat last night, apropos of getting attention. |
| 16:57 | < CedAtWork> | Maybe he reacts to that. |
| 16:58 | < CedAtWork> | No, really, though. What do? |
| 16:58 | < Soren> | Itās worth a shot. |
| 16:58 | < CedAtWork> | I am literally working for free here, promoting his game in a forum of potentially over 500 people. |
| 16:59 | < Soren> | You are learning the lesson I learn every time i work for him not-for-free. |
| 17:00 | < CedAtWork> | What is his average turnaround for emails? |
| 17:01 | < CedAtWork> | I mean, these guys asked me if I can get him into a hangout. |
| 17:01 | < CedAtWork> | For an interview of sorts in front of a crowd of ... I dunno. Bunch of guys. |
| 17:01 | < CedAtWork> | Any number from 20 to 100. |
| 17:02 | < Soren> | anywhere from Right Away to Fuck Man, Answer That Shit. |
| 17:02 | < Soren> | Did you send it to his Glyphpress account, or what? |
| 17:02 | < CedAtWork> | Well, what should I do? |
| 17:02 | < CedAtWork> | Yes. |
| 17:03 | < CedAtWork> | I sent him that email when we were talking about the decals. |
| 17:03 | < CedAtWork> | Asked for decals and his input on me running through this town for a month, running demo events. |
| 17:03 | < CedAtWork> | Maybe a second email, explaining the expanded scope, is in order. |
| 17:04 | < CedAtWork> | ... Tuesday. I sent the email on Tuesday. |
| 17:04 | < CedAtWork> | Le sigh. |
| 17:08 | < Soren> | well, I got him on IM. |
| 17:08 | < Soren> | So heās answering something. |
| 17:11 | < Soren> | vhttp://www.lego.com/en-us/mixels/products/series-2/41516-tentro I got a couple of these last night. Theyāre like ramen packets, but instead of a shitty meal, you get an Ijad frame ready to go. |
| 17:12 | < CedAtWork> | Can you do me a favour? |
| 17:12 | < CedAtWork> | I am sending him an email in approx. 5 minutes. |
| 17:12 | < CedAtWork> | Could you ask him to check his mail then? |
| 17:12 | < Soren> | Yes. |
| 17:17 | < CedAtWork> | "PS: Regarding my email from Tuesday, the 20th of May - those questions still stand. If you can make the time, please answer those, too." |
| 17:17 | < CedAtWork> | Reality check. |
| 17:17 | < CedAtWork> | I feel like this is a very dry sentence. |
| 17:17 | < CedAtWork> | Could it be misconstrued as hostile? |
| 17:18 | < Soren> | Yes. Easily. |
| 17:18 | < locas> | just throw in a "fuck you" and you'll be fine |
| 17:18 | < Soren> | Donāt tempt me. Or him. |
| 17:18 | < CedAtWork> | Oh, okay. Where does the fuck you go? |
| 17:18 | < locas> | ;D |
| 17:18 | < CedAtWork> | No, seriously, you dickwads. |
| 17:18 | < locas> | it could be read as hostile, yeah |
| 17:18 | < CedAtWork> | I am trying to dig up a landmine and move it around here. |
| 17:19 | < CedAtWork> | Well, then tell me where I need to apply Northern American sugarcoating. |
| 17:19 | < Soren> | Itās not even American, itās Passive-Aggressive Hippie. |
| 17:19 | < CedAtWork> | Fair enough. |
| 17:20 | < Soren> | It sounds like he just didnāt get it. |
| 17:20 | < CedAtWork> | I came to regard people able to deal with blunt language as quite Unamerican. But that is subconscious categorization. |
| 17:20 | < CedAtWork> | Well, how do I word that, then? |
| 17:20 | < CedAtWork> | I mean, I need those answers aswell. :D |
| 17:22 | < CedAtWork> | Yeah, okay, whatever. |
| 17:22 | < CedAtWork> | PS: Sent you an email on Tuesday, maybe you missed it - could you answer that one, too? Thanks! |
| 17:22 | < CedAtWork> | Is that better? |
| 17:23 | < Soren> | Yeah, that works. |
| 17:23 | < CedAtWork> | I am organizing this thing back to back and would like to nail as much down as I can, just so that it runs smoothly. Also have been in talks with two shops about stocking MFZ rule books and with local Bricklinkers to offer frame packages. It is quite the effort in short time, so assistance would be appreciated. Heck, it is your game, eh? :D |
| 17:23 | < CedAtWork> | Aaaaand ... this? |
| 17:25 | < CedAtWork> | Ah, fuck it, he better get with the program. He knows I am not his biggest fan. |
| 17:26 | < CedAtWork> | Soren, it's sent, signal the chopper. Green smoke, green smoke. |
| 17:27 | < Soren> | Iām strongly tempted to set up and run the MINIMA Kickstarter myself. |
| 17:27 | < locas> | what's MINIMA |
| 17:27 | < CedAtWork> | Minima? |
| 17:27 | | * locas is out of all loops |
| 17:28 | < Soren> | Itās the version of the game we would have done had the first KS failed. |
| 17:28 | < locas> | huh |
| 17:28 | < locas> | cool |
| 17:28 | < Soren> | simpler, smaller, more compact. |
| 17:28 | < Soren> | Less art, fewer robots, etc. |

| 17:30 | < CedAtWork> | Anything to show? |
| 17:31 | < Soren> | Iāve tuned up the Conscript design to use as the single frame for kits. Thatās the only real new work that needs to happen. |
| 17:31 | < Soren> | It would mostly be kits, but the more I think about it the more I like the idea of reworking the rules in quick-ref pamphlet form. |
| 17:32 | | Graf [Graf@Nightstar-0tf.caj.189.66.IP] has quit [Connection closed] |
| 17:32 | < locas> | like pamphlet ogre |
| 17:32 | < locas> | plus a ziploc |
| 17:32 | | * Soren googles |
| 17:32 | < locas> | it's not called that, but like |
| 17:32 | < locas> | when ogre originally came out |
| 17:32 | < Soren> | Iād like to use a tackle box. |
| 17:33 | < locas> | it was just a pamphlet |
| 17:33 | < locas> | with paper counters |

| 19:00 | < CedAtWork> | Time to head home. |
| 19:00 | < CedAtWork> | Mhmm. |
| 19:00 | < CedAtWork> | Or maybe stop for a beer. |
| 19:00 | < CedAtWork> | Yeah, a beer by the riverside sounds good. |
| 19:00 | < CedAtWork> | And then head home. |

| 19:36 | < Soren> | Everybody laugh at him. |
| 19:37 | < locas> | he'd be so happy |
| 19:37 | < locas> | that you used stormshields |
| 19:37 | < locas> | he'd say stormshields a lot |
| 19:37 | < locas> | he'd be saying it RIGHT NOW |
| 19:37 | < Soren> | Yes. |
| 19:38 | < Soren> | So fuck him. He can find it himself. |
| 19:38 | < locas> | haha |

| 19:43 | < locas> | this store is great |
| 19:46 | < Soren> | Hmm? |
| 19:46 | < locas> | oh |
| 19:46 | < locas> | that store that you all were talking about in off topic |
| 19:46 | < locas> | started making an order there |
| 19:47 | < Soren> | Ah, yeah. |
| 19:47 | < Soren> | Theyāre pretty great, yeah. |
| 19:47 | < Soren> | Theyāve only fucked up once since Iāve been ordering from them, and that was the other day. |
| 19:48 | < Soren> | And theyāre shipping the correct parts out. |
| 19:52 | < mraichelson> | iāve been looking at this spiky white/tr light blue thing for days now and am totally lost to find a use for it. |
| 19:58 | < mraichelson> | also: i hate when pics look clear on my phone and are blurry once i look at them on flickr. |
| 19:58 | | * mraichelson deletes |
| 20:07 | < locas> | that's why you gotta take like 50 |
| 20:07 | < locas> | of every composition |
| 20:13 | < mraichelson> | i did like 5, thought that one was the best. |
| 20:14 | < mraichelson> | eh, one of the parts was twisted out of alignment too. |

| 20:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Ollah! |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | Hi! |
| 20:30 | < Soren> | https://secure.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/14066361608/ |
| 20:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Now THAT is a snazzy picture. |
| 20:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Wanna hear some comments on taking those pictures? |
| 20:32 | < Soren> | Sure, why not. |
| 20:32 | < Soren> | Iām still getting the hang of autofocus. the DOF on this thing is incredible. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Crank up aperture to 20++, and exposure to 6 to 20 seconds, depending on the light. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, fuck autofcous, that's for snap shots. |
| 20:33 | < Ced23Ric> | Manual mode, manual focus. |
| 20:33 | < Soren> | Yeah, thatās step two. |
| 20:33 | < Soren> | Keep in mind, I just got an SD card for this thing today. |
| 20:34 | | Ceddo [me@Nightstar-nrg.q5s.120.37.IP] has joined #mf0 |
| 20:35 | | Netsplit *.net <-> *.split quits: Ced23Ric |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | [21:33:49] <Ced23Ric> Why those settings? Simple. See how the dude about 3 studs back is blurry at his feet? |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | [21:33:58] <Ced23Ric> High aperture and exposure will fix that. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | [21:34:09] <Ced23Ric> You can cover up to 12 studs depth with proper settings. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | In case that didn't go through. |
| 20:35 | < Soren> | It didnāt. |
| 20:35 | < Ceddo> | Well, there it is! |
| 20:35 | < Soren> | Iāll keep that in mind. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | Do you have a tripod? |
| 20:36 | < Soren> | But iām hoping to do my own learning as much as possible. If Iām going to shoot a whole bookās worth of photos, Iām going to need to know the process. |
| 20:36 | < Soren> | Yup. |
| 20:36 | < Ceddo> | If so, turn off the image stabilizer (if your lense has one, I think the body doesn't) and set it to 2 seconds delay. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | Even pushing the button wobbles a long exposure image. |
| 20:37 | < Soren> | Lens has one, yeah. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | Yeah, good thing to turn off when you take a static picture. |
| 20:37 | < Ceddo> | I am just sharing my experiences, because I started just like you. |
| 20:37 | < Soren> | Iām slowly turning off default settings. |
| 20:37 | < Soren> | Mm. |
| 20:37 | < Soren> | On the job training is the only thing thereās ever gonna be for some things. |
| 20:38 | < Ceddo> | If you ever have questions, ask. |
| 20:38 | < Ceddo> | It's a fun hobby, DSLR photography. |
| 20:38 | < Soren> | I know a few pros. Iām good. |
| 20:38 | < Soren> | But thanks. |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | ;_; |
| 20:39 | < Ceddo> | I thought we could share and bond. ;_; |

| 20:40 | < Soren> | Oh, sure. But I need to figure it out on my own so i have an intuitive sense of what will work for a given shot. |
| 20:40 | < Ceddo> | And, re: Autofocus - https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t31.0-8/478429_540440506002191_ 713236385_o.jpg |
| 20:40 | < Soren> | And yes, I know. But right now Iām just warming up. |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | Try that with autofocus and it will fail. |
| 20:41 | < Ceddo> | That thing went 40kph |
| 20:41 | < Soren> | Iāmā¦ not arguing with you? |
| 20:42 | < mraichelson> | yes you are! YOU TOTALLY ARE! |
| 20:44 | < Ceddo> | I'm not arguing either? |
