[02:01:33] <SirFinkus> you must have been being a wet blanket
[02:03:02] * SpallsHurgenson points out that SirFinkus asked "when did I say that" 21 minutes previous and obviously maintained enough continuity of memory to understand Deucalion's followup... thus the evidence suggests his claim of only having 15 minutes of memory is incorrect :)
[02:03:31] <SirFinkus> I'm also really bad with estimating time

[04:50:39] <Bender> Added quote 557
[04:53:48] <SirFinkus> meh, it's not the worst quote I have
[04:55:23] <SirFinkus> I will say that the http://www.rpg.net review was slightly unfair
[04:55:29] <SirFinkus> only slightly though
[04:57:27] -!- crutchy__ [crutchy__!~crutchy@709-27-2-01.cust.aussiebb.net] has joined #Soylent
[04:59:45] <SirFinkus> As an an example, the reviewers criticize the authors for using archaic medieval view of morality for their morality system as being unrealistic, but RPGs are by their nature unrealistic abstractions
[05:00:02] <SirFinkus> and using unrealistic abstractions can be helpful to gameplay
[05:00:58] <SpallsHurgenson> have you ever read the rules? I have. Even taking away all the... erm... "oddities" it's a terrible system. IT makes RoleMaster look streamlined
[05:01:14] <SirFinkus> I'm taking this specific criticism
[05:01:29] -!- JamesNZ has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[05:01:52] -!- crutchy_ has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[05:01:52] <SirFinkus> while the balance of "humours" may be a shitty way to describe morality in real life, it could be an interesting gameplay element
[05:02:13] <SirFinkus> so I don't buy that particular criticism
[05:04:26] <SirFinkus> "I believe that what Shithead was thinking was something along the lines of "Okay, people in the Middle Ages tried to define people along these lines, so should I." But the problem with defining people's behavior according to their humors - I mean, avoiding the fact that it's yet another discredited pseudoscience - is that people don't fit into four categories. Neither do they fit into four categories with four subcategories
[05:04:27] <SirFinkus> each. Alchemy was essentially an intellectual dead end for science, and yet, in this day and age, we've got a man trying to use them with a completely straight face - not as a disguise for a better game mechanic, like the Nine Spheres from Mage, but as a method for defining people." yeah, it's bullshit, but that tends to be how RPGs work, shoehorning chracters into "classes" for gameplay reasons, rock, paper, scissors and
[05:04:27] <SirFinkus> all that
[05:06:41] <SpallsHurgenson> tl;dr
[05:08:47] <SirFinkus> I'll argue that a very complex ruleset can work in a computer RPG
[05:08:58] <SirFinkus> but in a tabletop, it's a PITA
[05:09:10] <SirFinkus> nobody wants to keep track of all that shit manually
[05:10:22] <SpallsHurgenson> there's even a limit in computer games
[05:10:42] <SpallsHurgenson> its one reason the Dark Eye CRPGs never took off in America
[05:11:50] <SirFinkus> a limit, but it's higher if semi-well designed
[05:11:55] <SirFinkus> see: dwarf fortress

[05:12:27] <SirFinkus> it'd be stupid to try and keep track of all that shit on paper
[05:12:48] <SpallsHurgenson> yeah, but there's always a small group of weirdos will will glom onto anything
[05:13:13] <SpallsHurgenson> (case in point: the Germans, who /like/ the Dark Eye rolepalying game :)
[05:13:15] <SirFinkus> As far as that kind of game goes, DF is pretty mainstream
[05:15:15] <SpallsHurgenson> oh yeah, I read about it all the time in People Magazine :)
[05:15:22] <SpallsHurgenson> (does People Magazine still exist?)
[05:15:56] <SirFinkus> I think so

[12:02:22] <Bytram> Is there any place where NASA lists all of the currently active space programs?
[12:03:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idear. not really a space fanboi.
[12:03:26] <Bytram> for example, I just noticed that they are currently communicating with Voyager 2 which is now just over 10 billion miles away!
[12:03:38] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:04:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh, that's like 100k second ping time
[12:04:23] <Bytram> they're missing an opportunity to provide a link to all their space programs, as well as direct links to the project page(s) for each of the craft they are talking to.
[12:04:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> well more like 50k but still
[12:04:48] <Bytram> round-trip light time is reported to be: 1.25 days.

[12:31:57] <crutchy> ciri reminds me of that lipreading youtube channel
[12:35:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> ciri reminds me that while it's technically possible to polish a turd, it's still a turd.
[12:35:40] <crutchy> heh
[12:36:43] <crutchy> who knows what the future holds for artificial stupidity. it might end up taking over the world. after all, it seemed to work for man
[12:37:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya but who needs artificial stupidity when we got such an abundance of the real stuff?
[12:37:36] <crutchy> lol yeah there would be a huge competition
[12:38:41] * crutchy worked from home tonight for the first time in years. it fucking sucks
[12:39:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> you just need a pointy stick to jab anyone speaking to you while you're working
[12:40:23] <crutchy> i think its more the environment. my house doesn't have a decent home office
[12:40:51] <crutchy> at work i have a big desk and a window seat on the second floor. much nicer
[12:41:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh, that'd do it too
[12:41:20] <crutchy> almost felt claustrophobic. it was weird
[12:41:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> i got a chair and a rolly tv tray. keyboard goes in my lap, mouse on an end table beside me.

[17:33:15] * AndyTheAbsurd glances at headline, wonders if we should make cars *less* safe to discourage evolution from lowering the average intelligence of the human race.
[17:37:44] * cmn32480 thinks AndytheAbsurd has it wrong. stuff like this increases the intelligence of the human race. Darwin at his finest.
[17:38:33] <FrogBlast> That's Andy's point...
[17:39:01] <FrogBlast> If every car made jerked wildly to the right anytime you stopped paying attention, no one would text-and-drive anymore, because theyd all be dead already.
[17:39:17] <cmn32480> obviously, I am a prime candidate for Darwin to pick off....
[17:40:04] <cmn32480> rereading things.. I see that I shoudl go crawl back into my coffee cup
[17:40:39] <FrogBlast> Im clearly a genius, because I've allowed my car to jerk wildly to the right when I take my hands off the wheel for years, and I'm still here.

[17:42:28] <FrogBlast> I watched Miranda all weekend.
[17:43:42] <cmn32480> why is it that people feel the need to CC you on emails just so it looks like they are doing something? I answered a question once on the topic of the email, peripherally, now I get CC"d on everythgin
[17:44:23] <FrogBlast> Are you the boss of anyone?
[17:46:08] <cmn32480> yes.
[17:46:09] <FrogBlast> Sometimes one has to CC the boss to get the actual recipient to bother to respond.
[17:46:17] <cmn32480> this is a guy from sales
[17:46:26] <cmn32480> my peopel know the stuff I want to be CC'd on.

[21:52:20] <FrogBlast> : (
[21:52:31] <FrogBlast> It wasn't Shakespeare, but it was alright.
[21:52:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> i said screw it and deleted the show.
[21:53:41] <FrogBlast> I have a theory about space shows - the quality of the show is directly proportional to the thoroughness with which the ship is layed out.
[21:54:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> no matter how good the show otherwise is, it ain't worth it if i gotta watch douchepickle wesley fuckin crusher flounce his fat ass around
[21:54:09] <FrogBlast> Firefly - detailed ship, all the piecs fit together and make sense, and people walk between them in a meaningful way.

[21:55:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, the only rooms you can really point to from the outside are the cargo bay and the bridge
[21:58:53] <FrogBlast> I thought Dark Matter did alright in the respect, and I particularly liked their cargo hold.
[21:59:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i was digging the show right up until an hour ago

[22:24:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> with a report like on it's start, I think I'll give that one a few more episodes to see how goes...
[22:26:25] <FrogBlast> Yeah, I'll try few more. Fox sure loves turning things into procedurals.
