| 21:06 | < Danbitious> | 'lo |
| 21:10 | < afny> | hola |
| 21:11 | < Danbitious> | waiting on Black Mesa Mod to Download, so I thought I'd jump in |
| 21:12 | < Danbitious> | seen the fresh peaches on the forums? |
| 21:13 | < afny> | ? |
| 21:13 | < Danbitious> | sorry, new guys |
| 21:13 | < afny> | who |
| 21:13 | < afny> | I had a discussion with 'feathers' in the rules forum |
| 21:14 | < Danbitious> | feathers? I'm really sorry I don't really stray from the forge often |
| 21:14 | < afny> | dunno that's just their name |
| 21:14 | < afny> | they were going crazy about double green d6 |
| 21:14 | < afny> | I tried to calm them down but they could not be assuaged |
| 21:16 | < Danbitious> | ouch |
| 21:16 | < Danbitious> | now, crazy as in "OMG OP IMBA QQ" or... |
| 21:17 | < afny> | well they thought it should be more viabl |
| 21:17 | < afny> | +e |
| 21:17 | < afny> | but they were arguing from the position that because it's POSSIBLE to use two green dice |
| 21:17 | < afny> | it needs to be a strong choice, or else the design isn't elegant |
| 21:17 | < afny> | which I don't think is true; I kept using starcraft army compositions as an example |
| 21:17 | < Danbitious> | if it isn't regulation it doesn |
| 21:18 | < Danbitious> | doesn't "fly" |
| 21:18 | < Danbitious> | ba-dum tish? |
| 21:18 | < afny> | :|| |
| 21:18 | < Danbitious> | Fine I get it, too cheesy |
| 21:19 | < afny> | also since you might not have seen |
| 21:19 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7984458900/ |
| 21:20 | < Danbitious> | Nice job. |
| 21:20 | < Danbitious> | it looks like a HEAVILY modified chub. I don't think it's even a chub at that point |
| 21:20 | < afny> | the only part that is actually related to a chub, mechanically |
| 21:20 | < afny> | are the legs |
| 21:21 | < Danbitious> | that's what I meant, the legs reminded me of a chub |
| 21:21 | < afny> | they're chub legs, so they should :P |
| 21:21 | < afny> | obviously there's some resemblence in the head because of the bumper |
| 21:21 | < afny> | but it's actually 2x3 and rounded on the back |
| 21:21 | < Danbitious> | well it isn't a conscript now isn't it? |
| 21:21 | < afny> | actually |
| 21:21 | < afny> | it uses conscript arms |
| 21:21 | < afny> | so it's as much conscript as chub |
| 21:21 | < Danbitious> | aw hell. what's next, a Hi legs' attitude? |
| 21:22 | < afny> | not quite homebrew enough for that |
| 21:22 | < afny> | it's more or less based on my Ape Tank frame |
| 21:22 | < afny> | but I had to redesign the arms to not use minifig legs |
| 21:22 | < afny> | because the constraints for these underwater frames are to use mostly garage kit parts |
| 21:22 | < Danbitious> | somethings chruning around in my head, but if i go thru with it I'm gonna disassemble that big silohuette |
| 21:22 | < Danbitious> | garage kit parts? Que? |
| 21:23 | < afny> | parts generally found in the garage kit |
| 21:23 | < afny> | in which minifig legs/hands are NOT found |
| 21:23 | < Danbitious> | well what |
| 21:23 | < Danbitious> | damn enter key |
| 21:23 | < Danbitious> | what's a garage kit |
| 21:23 | < afny> | uh I dunno, like |
| 21:23 | < afny> | it's kind of an ill-defined set of parts; there were only a few official garage kits made |
| 21:23 | < afny> | as kickstarter backer rewards |
| 21:24 | < Danbitious> | ah my bad I get you now |
| 21:24 | < Danbitious> | no need to explain further I understand |
| 21:24 | < afny> | but generally any part in a conscript/comissar, hi leg, scrambler, chub, or rumble monkey |
| 21:24 | < afny> | yea |
| 21:24 | < Danbitious> | rumble monkey? by the nine... |
| 21:24 | < afny> | basically the end game of the underwater designs is to make them stuff that people can build with parts they bought originally to build |
| 21:24 | < afny> | default frames |
| 21:24 | < afny> | by the ST-09, to be precise. |
| 21:25 | < Danbitious> | i'm talking tamriel, sone! |
| 21:25 | < Danbitious> | wait st-09... super chub? |
| 21:25 | < afny> | nope |
| 21:25 | < afny> | super chub ain't canon |
| 21:25 | < afny> | http://www.flickr.com/photos/bricklovinfreakboy/6316097886/ |
| 21:25 | < Danbitious> | you do realize i'm still a lore scrub? |
| 21:25 | < afny> | the Chub is the ST-07 |
| 21:25 | < afny> | the ST-08 is an, I believe, as of yet unseen amphibious standing tank |
| 21:26 | < afny> | the ST-09 is the Rumble Monkey |
| 21:26 | < Danbitious> | i lobe that helmet |
| 21:26 | < Danbitious> | love* |
| 21:26 | < afny> | and the ST-10 is the Osprey, a light frame for space ops |
| 21:26 | < Danbitious> | the ... terran republics units correct? |
| 21:26 | < afny> | Solar Union is the umbrella term |
| 21:27 | < afny> | I don't believe they're a republic, and they're certainly not solely Terran |
| 21:27 | < afny> | their power base is arguably on Mars |
| 21:27 | < Danbitious> | I know of a Solar calender, and that's something to do with what's cannon so what's Solar Union? |
| 21:27 | < afny> | the Solar Union is one of the three main "factions" |
| 21:27 | < afny> | it's the overarching government and power structure originally responsible for interstellar colonization |
| 21:27 | < Danbitious> | i see, Ijad, and... uh.. |
| 21:28 | < afny> | Free Colonies, though neither the Ijad or the Free Colonies are monolothic organizations like the SU |
| 21:28 | < Danbitious> | why didn't I think this was gonna start getting as in depth like BT? |
| 21:28 | < afny> | you should really check out the lore, it's great inspiration for builds |
| 21:28 | < Danbitious> | though that does make it more awesome |
| 21:29 | < Danbitious> | i'll build my own union! with Blackjack! and hookers! infact, forget the union and the blackjack! |
| 21:30 | < Danbitious> | brb |
| 21:46 | < Danbitious> | back |
| 21:47 | < afny> | wb |
| 21:48 | < Danbitious> | I'm still thinking the legs on the big frame i showed you need a bit more girth |
| 21:48 | < Danbitious> | do you have LDD? |
| 21:48 | < Danbitious> | it's good for a quick build... |
| 21:49 | < afny> | that claim is patently untrue |
| 21:49 | < afny> | and no I don't |
| 21:49 | < Danbitious> | patently untrue? |
| 21:49 | < Danbitious> | so they're fine then? |
| 21:49 | < afny> | I meant the "good for a quick build" claim |
| 21:50 | < Danbitious> | oh no, the big one wasn't a quick build. |
| 21:50 | < Danbitious> | which did you think I meant? |
| 21:50 | < afny> | I wasn't talking about any particular build |
| 21:50 | < afny> | I meant LDD is in no way good or quick |
| 21:50 | < afny> | I just hate LDD is all |
| 21:51 | < Danbitious> | I started with it but I agree on some of your arguement |
| 21:51 | < Danbitious> | MLCAD does allow ALOT more, and it looks better. but sometimes I just feel like using LDD. |
| 21:52 | < Danbitious> | I would NEVER upload a pic of LDD though. principles and whatnot |
| 21:53 | < afny> | I think lego cad in general takes the fun out of building, but I specifically hate LDD |
| 21:54 | < afny> | because you can't make custom parts lists |
| 21:54 | < Danbitious> | i'm so used to looking around no matter what I do I don't even bother with complaining |
| 21:54 | < afny> | it's like |
| 21:54 | < afny> | that's the ONE advantage that appeals to me over doing stuff in the brick |
| 21:54 | < afny> | not having to SORT my actual bricks |
| 21:55 | < afny> | and it doesn't have that feature |
| 21:55 | < Danbitious> | I don't have enough brick that i want to use, and i have ALOT. |
| 21:55 | < Danbitious> | that and I need to organize it all. |
| 21:55 | < Danbitious> | at least by color |
| 22:20 | < afny> | goin out for a bit |
| 22:20 | | afny is now known as afny|away |
