| 00:24 | < Shades_Corvid> | back to bloggin' |
| 00:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Back to bed! |
| 00:29 | | Ced23Ric is now known as Bed23Ric |
| 00:45 | < FlakManiak> | Am I the only one who hates the LDD backgrounds and would prefer people's pictures be the default grey + grid? Grey + grid looks classy to me, in stark contrast to the built-in backgrounds. |
| 00:45 | < FlakManiak> | Really minor point, I know. |
| 00:50 | < FlakManiak> | Do any of you guys know much about Brikwars? Is it good? |
| 00:50 | < Soren> | I have never played the game. |
| 00:50 | | Shades_Corvid [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-53bu27.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 00:50 | < Soren> | But Mike Rayhawk is a hilarious, bizarre son of a bitch. |
| 00:51 | < Soren> | So you should read the rulebook, giggle, and decide for yourself if itās something you want to dick around with. |
| 00:51 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah, "rules written in an amusing style" seems to be a good indicator. I guess for me it's probably just an excuse to build more things at a different scale, so it doesn't quite matter if the game ends up being great or even if I end up playing it much. |
| 00:52 | < FlakManiak> | An excuse to build cool things and share them with friends who are also building things at that scale. |
| 00:52 | < Soren> | IT explicitly says you should ignore the rules as much as possible. |
| 00:52 | < FlakManiak> | Okay well in that case I'm doing great! |
| 00:52 | < Soren> | Yeah. |
| 00:52 | < Soren> | Itās extremely funny, though, and lavishly illustrated. |
| 00:52 | < FlakManiak> | I just need to decide on a size for some Brikwars mecha, if I actually want pilots to fit in them, etc. |
| 00:52 | < FlakManiak> | And then I can get to work. |
| 00:53 | < FlakManiak> | (Seems like the game tends to have lots of infantry, whether that's because people love minifigs or not, but I think I'll go all vehicles, and mostly mecha at that.) |
| 00:53 | < Soren> | http://www.brikwars.com/rules/2010/contents.htm Many of the new, funny illustrations are in the dev version, here. |
| 00:54 | < FlakManiak> | I think I want four-wheeled fast attack vehicles, mecha, and... Maybe that's about it. Perhaps a tank or something? Who knows. |
| 00:56 | < Soren> | Itās pretty flexible. |
| 00:56 | < Soren> | BUt yeah, some vehicles and shitload of minifigs would do you just fine. |
| 01:03 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. Not sure about the shitload of minifigs. I'll see if I can go all-armor and make it work. Maybe I could do with more minifigs, though. Expensive. |
| 01:08 | < Soren> | well, by shitload I mean maybe 20. |

| 09:46 | < Bed23Ric> | Soren! |
| 09:46 | | Bed23Ric is now known as Ced23Ric |
| 09:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Not a booty call, no worries. |
| 09:46 | < Soren> | Hah. |
| 09:46 | < Soren> | Didnāt figure. |
| 09:48 | < Ced23Ric> | Had to point it out. |
| 09:48 | < Ced23Ric> | So ... with rocket pods on the back, what to put in the hand of a frame? |
| 09:49 | < FlakManiak> | So after looking into Brikwars, once again I'm frustrated at my lack of skills at building things other than 7P-ish frames. I might built some brick-built dragons like I was gonna. That could work out nicely. |
| 09:51 | < FlakManiak> | Not sure what I'd do for the rest of a fantasy army. |
| 09:51 | < Soren> | There are a dizzying number of options at minifig scale. |
| 09:51 | < FlakManiak> | I thought I might do something sci fi with motorbikes. |
| 09:51 | < Soren> | Iāve always liked siege engines. I have a working ballista you could borrow. |
| 09:52 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah too many options if you ask me. I like the "frames only, no items, final destination" aspect of MFZ. Makes it so much easier to decide what to build. |
| 09:52 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I need some sort of bazooka. |
| 09:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh, Soren, I solved the dust-on-lego issue. |
| 09:52 | < Ced23Ric> | With and old toothbrush. |
| 09:53 | < FlakManiak> | Dust showing up in photographs? |
| 09:53 | < Soren> | The old standby |
| 09:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, some of these parts have been standing in the open for two years. |
| 09:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Dust is bound to accumulate. |
| 09:54 | < FlakManiak> | When I took my latest batch I noticed not only dust but fingerprints on the pieces. Nobody sees that shit in person! So I decided it was fine. The camera is too good. Can't complain about that. |
| 09:55 | < Ced23Ric> | Tell me about it. |
| 09:55 | < Ced23Ric> | 16 MP resolution, image filling zoom. aperture beyond 30, long exposure - I can see the dust throwing a party. |
| 09:55 | < FlakManiak> | (I think it's the shot of the pirate captain that has the fingerprint shown off by the glare on the shoulder. What a camera.) |
| 09:56 | < Soren> | Iām looking forward to this problem. |
| 09:57 | < Ced23Ric> | It's a good problem to have, Mr. Blur. |
| 09:59 | < Soren> | Hah |
| 10:00 | < Ced23Ric> | I wish my shipment of black hands would finally arrive. ;_; |
| 10:03 | < Ced23Ric> | Gonna be real happy to replace the old dark grey bits here ... |
| 10:05 | < Ced23Ric> | And I need to figure out what to do with the backpack of those that don't use standard UMFL drum mags. |
| 10:05 | < Ced23Ric> | I thought those were gastanks, really. |
| 10:06 | < Soren> | You can always sub in a different color and say they are. |
| 10:07 | < Ced23Ric> | That's what they are right now, at least. |
| 10:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Dark blue, whereas they are light bley on the guny. |
| 10:07 | < Ced23Ric> | *guns |
| 10:28 | < FlakManiak> | Wait, do you mean the 1x1 round brick on Chub guns? |
| 10:29 | < Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
| 10:30 | < Ced23Ric> | That's a spare drum mag. |

| 12:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Emma. o/ |
| 12:49 | < locas> | hi |
| 12:49 | < Ced23Ric> | I need a compact SMG/pistol. |
| 12:49 | < locas> | hm |
| 12:50 | < locas> | I can't say I've ever been happy with a pistol |
| 12:50 | < Ced23Ric> | http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4560 |
| 12:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Has to match these. |
| 12:50 | < locas> | it'd be easier for me to point you in the direction of things I like if I could get on my flikr but I don't want to turn on my phone to receive sms confirmation :\ |
| 12:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Actually, those are poop. |
| 12:50 | < locas> | I like the gun with the chain |
| 12:50 | < locas> | though I don't like the chain itself |
| 12:50 | < Ced23Ric> | Wait, are you on your phone? |
| 12:51 | < locas> | no |
| 12:51 | < Ced23Ric> | But your flickr is. |
| 12:51 | < locas> | but for some reason I can't log in to my flikr without sms confirmation, and it won't send a confirmation to my google voice # |
| 12:51 | < locas> | apparently you can't use flikr unless you have a cellphone contract |
| 12:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh. |
| 12:51 | < locas> | I dunno man fuck capitalism |
| 12:51 | < Ced23Ric> | I ... I don't have that. |
| 12:51 | < Ced23Ric> | It bugged me to mae a Y! account, though. |
| 12:51 | < Ced23Ric> | And I was all like: YEAH RIGHT. |
| 12:51 | < Ced23Ric> | But it locked me out. |
| 12:52 | < Ced23Ric> | So I had to. |
| 12:52 | < locas> | yeah |
| 12:52 | < locas> | it's dum |
| 12:53 | < Ced23Ric> | Did I show you htis? |
| 12:53 | < Ced23Ric> | http://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1398/90/1398905840940.jpg |
| 12:54 | < locas> | heh |
| 12:54 | < locas> | I made a two part pistol that isn't TERRIBLE: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7596831660/ |
| 12:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Someone made fun of my arty frames. :( |
| 12:54 | < locas> | but it's not good either |
| 12:54 | < Ced23Ric> | Mhmm, yeah. |
| 12:54 | < Ced23Ric> | I love those little buggers. |
| 12:54 | < locas> | https://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7581402182/ |
| 12:54 | < locas> | this pistol is better, forgot about this one |
| 12:55 | < Ced23Ric> | That's actually not too bad, no. |
| 12:55 | < locas> | similar: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/7540134130/ |
| 12:55 | < locas> | though that one has a weird frontal magazine |
| 12:55 | < locas> | I don't get it |
| 12:56 | < FlakManiak> | I wish I'd photographed my second pistol design. It's not very small, but it definitely looks like a one-handed gun. |
| 12:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Emma: Here's the four designs I have that need an SMG or a pistol to go along. |
| 12:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Rifle: http://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1399/11/1399116160107.png |
| 12:56 | < Ced23Ric> | DMR: http://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1399/13/1399134207495.png |
| 12:56 | < Ced23Ric> | LMG: http://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1399/13/1399135321596.png |
| 12:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Carbine: http://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1399/13/1399136125583.png |
| 12:57 | < FlakManiak> | What's that part on the back end of the scope on the second one? |
| 12:57 | < locas> | the carbine is nice |
| 12:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Any resounding ideas? |
| 12:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Flak: Remember the black flextube, often used in Blacktron and similar stuff? |
| 12:58 | < Ced23Ric> | It's one of those end caps, ripped off of the hose. |
| 12:58 | < locas> | or if you're really old school, one of the hoses has just disintegrated for you |
| 12:58 | < locas> | I don't see getting away with the same peice as the grip if you want to make a pistol |
| 12:59 | < locas> | maybe an smg |
| 12:59 | < FlakManiak> | Huh. Never would have guessed the hose end, though I think I've seen that use before. |
| 12:59 | < locas> | I mean just taking the rifle and removing the tile clip sight, the barel, and the underbarrel launcher would do SOMETHING |
| 13:00 | < locas> | it'd kind of look like |
| 13:00 | < locas> | a round p90 |
| 13:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. I'll go for an SMG. |
| 13:00 | < locas> | you could shove in one of those tiny pistol grip things |
| 13:00 | < locas> | to the front of the headlight brick |
| 13:00 | < FlakManiak> | So all the guns have a bar as the end of the barrel. I would suggest a design but it has a technic pin as the barrel end. So never mind. |
| 13:00 | < locas> | to get a barrel on it |
| 13:00 | < Ced23Ric> | Pistol is too compact at that scale. |
| 13:00 | < locas> | if you didn't want the p90 headlight brick muzzle look |
| 13:01 | < Ced23Ric> | The bar also holds it all together. |
| 13:01 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I'll just go for the tap barrel. |
| 13:01 | < FlakManiak> | How is the nozzle + minifig hand attached to the front of the carbine? |
| 13:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Build heresy. A black pin to pin, cut in half. |
| 13:02 | < FlakManiak> | Ah. |
| 13:02 | < FlakManiak> | I need to start doing some heresy. |
| 13:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Just do minor heresy. |
| 13:03 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, cutting of the ring of a lamp holder plate. |
| 13:03 | < Ced23Ric> | Gives you a nice stud-to-stud thing. |
| 13:03 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah, I intend for my heresy to be pretty invisible. People will see impossible things but they aren't gonna see the cut parts or whatever. |
| 13:04 | < Ced23Ric> | You need to make jedi hand gestures, too. |
| 13:05 | < Ced23Ric> | YAY. |
| 13:05 | < Ced23Ric> | Another company updated. |
| 13:05 | < Ced23Ric> | Mostly undusted. |
| 13:05 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. I guess when I get home, one of the things to do is to start setting up my frames on display again. |
| 13:06 | < locas> | I took a ship out of my cupboard and found one of the connections I used for the stand was crap |
| 13:06 | < locas> | and it won't stand up anymore |
| 13:06 | < locas> | excuse to take apart all my ships to build new ones :D |
| 13:06 | < FlakManiak> | I wonder if I'll ever build things for Alpha Bandit/Intercept Orbit. Probably not. |
| 13:06 | < locas> | that's pretty much first thing on my list |
| 13:07 | < locas> | none of my current ships are really correct for it |
| 13:07 | < locas> | except for maybe the mazianni carrier |
| 13:07 | < locas> | but that's the wrong universe |
| 13:09 | < Ced23Ric> | How do you mean, not correct? |
| 13:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Size wise? |
| 13:09 | < locas> | yeah |
| 13:09 | < locas> | all too big or too small |
| 13:09 | < locas> | with the exception of this https://www.flickr.com/photos/kyanosmoros/9769229274/ |
| 13:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, there is a little bit of leeway. |
| 13:09 | < locas> | eh like the one that actually looks like it fits the universe is 25+ studs |
| 13:09 | < Ced23Ric> | I love that fleet. |
| 13:09 | < locas> | and that's the one with the wonky stand anyway |
| 13:10 | < locas> | yeah I won't take this one apart |
| 13:10 | < locas> | these are my babies |
| 13:10 | < locas> | though the riderships don't have passenger rings anymore |
| 13:10 | < locas> | because they're not supposed to |
| 13:10 | < locas> | they're actually quite out of scale too, presumably |
| 13:10 | < locas> | but whatever |
| 13:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Okay. |
| 13:11 | < Ced23Ric> | So there is only one question left to answer. |
| 13:11 | < locas> | blue |
| 13:11 | < Ced23Ric> | Stormshields, yes or no. |
| 13:12 | < Ced23Ric> | They are already blue. |
| 13:12 | < locas> | does the company have |
| 13:12 | < locas> | blue dice? |
| 13:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, they are Chubs, so there is 1B included in all of them. |
| 13:12 | < Ced23Ric> | But I don't see myself equipping BB. Ever. |
| 13:12 | < locas> | EVER |
| 13:12 | < Ced23Ric> | EVERRRR. |
| 13:12 | < locas> | their guns are pretty big |
| 13:13 | < locas> | shields might crowd your outline |
| 13:13 | < Ced23Ric> | The guns are also pretty SNAZZY. |
| 13:14 | < locas> | there are no subtitles for the last episode of unicorn yet D: |
| 13:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Surely you can figure it out. |
| 13:15 | < locas> | I can figure out the parts where they say GUNDAM |
| 13:15 | < Ced23Ric> | >implying you need more |
| 13:18 | < Ced23Ric> | GOOD LORD. |
| 13:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Superchubs are so posable. |
| 13:18 | < Ced23Ric> | I cry inside. |
| 13:32 | < Ced23Ric> | I am so happy right now. |
| 13:40 | < FlakManiak> | Did you find your pistol design? |
| 13:51 | < Ced23Ric> | SMG design. |
| 13:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Lemme whip it up in LDD. |
| 13:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Actually, I just took a picture of a frame holding it. |
| 13:51 | < Ced23Ric> | Sec. |
| 13:53 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/smg.png |
| 13:55 | < Ced23Ric> | I am actually really happy how the colours work together. |
| 14:23 | < Ced23Ric> | http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1400419365756.png |
| 14:23 | < Ced23Ric> | Tadah. |
| 14:31 | < FlakManiak> | ...That's a different gun for each of them, right? |
| 14:32 | < Ced23Ric> | More or less, yeah. |
| 14:32 | < FlakManiak> | Hmm. I think I see two pairs. |
| 14:32 | < FlakManiak> | But yeah, loads of diversity. |
| 14:32 | < Ced23Ric> | Two rifles, two LMGs, one carbine for the leader, one sniper rifle, two SMGs. |
| 14:34 | < Ced23Ric> | I wanted to give them weapons that make sense, on a squad level. |
| 14:34 | < Ced23Ric> | The Leader gets the carbine, so he has more ... agility, whereas the grunts get fully sized rifles. The LMGs are for fire support, gonna use those as 2x direct fire weapons. |
| 14:35 | < Ced23Ric> | The two arty frames have SMGs for self defense (Ra / Rd split range) and the sniper guy is also Ra/Rd, but looks different. The dark red marks veterans. |
| 14:35 | < FlakManiak> | So this company is all direct save for one artillery, then? |
| 14:35 | < FlakManiak> | Oh, loads of split weapons. |
| 14:36 | < Ced23Ric> | It's 5x direct, 3x split. Or maybe I declare the sniper to be fully Ra. |
| 14:36 | < Ced23Ric> | But essentially, yeah. Mostly direct fire. |
| 14:39 | < FlakManiak> | Guess I should start getting parts to bring a company or two to eight. Though if I bring the black and white guys to eight, I'll be tempted to build more pilot minifigs for them... |
| 14:40 | < locas> | did you build at a larger scale? |
| 14:40 | | * locas wants to see |
| 14:55 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/artychub_collage.png |
| 14:55 | < Ced23Ric> | That's the SMG. |
| 14:55 | < Ced23Ric> | Whaddaya say, Em'? |
| 14:56 | < FlakManiak> | I didn't build at a larger scale, but I have minifig pilots anyway. Had to accept the pilots being out of scale. |
| 14:56 | < Ced23Ric> | You can just make pilots, Flak. |
| 14:57 | < Ced23Ric> | 1x1 round brick, 1x1 echnic brick /w pin hole, 1x1 round plate. |
| 14:57 | < Ced23Ric> | And put minifig hands in the pin holes. |
| 14:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Or clip plates. |
| 14:57 | < Ced23Ric> | The nthey can even hold stuff. |
| 14:57 | < Ced23Ric> | i.4cdn.org/tg/1400409138834.png |
| 14:57 | < Ced23Ric> | Like that. |
| 14:58 | | Shades_Corvid [NSwebIRC@Nightstar-53bu27.fios.verizon.net] has joined #mf0 |
| 14:58 | < Shades_Corvid> | hey hey |
| 15:00 | < FlakManiak> | Well yeah, I could make 7P pilots. Those would be good for in-game uses. But I wanted all of a minifig's detail. They're really a display accessory. |
| 15:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Fair enough. |
| 15:01 | < Ced23Ric> | Heya Shades. |
| 15:01 | < locas> | it's good ced |
| 15:01 | < locas> | the smg |
| 15:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Works with the others while being smaller, right? |
| 15:02 | < locas> | is the underbarrel launcher a rocket? |
| 15:02 | < Shades_Corvid> | seems like I just got back intime to miss something |
| 15:02 | < Ced23Ric> | No, those are the drum mags. |
| 15:02 | < locas> | oh okay |
| 15:02 | < Ced23Ric> | All guns have those. |
| 15:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Shades: I am revamping my Superchubs. |
| 15:02 | < Shades_Corvid> | Laser guns would have batteries... |
| 15:02 | < Ced23Ric> | http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1400419365756.png |
| 15:02 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/artychub_collage.png |
| 15:03 | < Shades_Corvid> | Looks good, love the use of the chain |
| 15:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Emma hates it. :D |
| 15:05 | < locas> | I actually liked it better when I saw it on the frame |
| 15:05 | < Shades_Corvid> | I posted a big Halo Sets Review last night |
| 15:06 | < Ced23Ric> | It looks better when it actually serves a purpose, eh? |
| 15:06 | < Shades_Corvid> | transfering pics from iPad over to the computer for future reviews. Might start on Star Wars Week reviews today after going to go see Godzilla and Firefly the Boardgame |
| 15:07 | < Shades_Corvid> | That can be said about a lot of things Ced |
| 15:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Those Megablok reviews are, sadly, of zero use to me. |
| 15:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Because, I can import that stuff from the UK at horrible markup only. |
| 15:07 | < Ced23Ric> | And there is absolutly no secondary market I could tap into. |
| 15:08 | < Ced23Ric> | I was debating on getting a brickboner for the guns, but when I realized that I'd spend like a hundred bucks on guns that are too small, I lost interest. |
| 15:08 | < Shades_Corvid> | That is the worse part of the Mega Bloks, no secondary market, along with the Kreos because I love one of there cyclinder brick pieces |
| 15:08 | < Ced23Ric> | Also, I ended up grabbing a selection of brikarms weapons. |
| 15:08 | < Ced23Ric> | All way too small for our purposes. |
| 15:08 | < Ced23Ric> | But they look col for sure. |
| 15:09 | < Shades_Corvid> | I thought some of the firearms look good on the CHUB, not all of them but some. |
| 15:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, the original Chub, at least. |
| 15:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Landmates / Landscripts / Conscripts / Hoplites / Hopwallops probably, too. |
| 15:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Basically, any "babby frame". |
| 15:13 | < Shades_Corvid> | I am thinking of making a regular CHUB just for reviews instead of grabbing from my squad when I need one, perhaps having it be all one color and calling it either Frame Standard or CHUB Standard. |
| 15:17 | < Shades_Corvid> | Also thinking of doing a post about scale and 'frame space', like the amount of presumed space a frame takes up aka the 10x10x12 |
| 15:25 | < Ced23Ric> | If you make a standard CHub, go light bley, green torso, few yellow accents. |
| 15:26 | < Ced23Ric> | UMFL Standard Chub. |
| 15:27 | < Shades_Corvid> | Not bad as well |

| 15:45 | < FlakManiak> | I guess I'm an accidental purist. It's not like I've anything against non-Lego in principle, but none of it ever matches to my satisfaction. |
| 15:46 | < locas> | I'm more or less the same |
| 15:46 | < locas> | I've got some megabloks mixed in on my table but I never pick them up for anything |
| 15:46 | < locas> | they just somehow got in there |
| 15:46 | < locas> | I use other stickers though |
| 15:46 | < FlakManiak> | (So when I get around to cutting up some parts, the cuts won't be visible and therefore it'll be no issue.) |
| 15:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Stickers are fair game. |
| 15:49 | < Ced23Ric> | As for the KReo and MegaBloks stuff ... sometime it looks cool, but it never really punches me. |
| 15:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, "I NEED THAT". |
| 15:49 | < FlakManiak> | Yeah it's probably easier to find stickers that match. |
| 15:49 | < Ced23Ric> | So I guess I'm good. |
| 15:50 | < FlakManiak> | And yeah none of the Kre-O or Mega Bloks parts really spoke to me. A lot look great on people's creations, but none made me think that *I* should use them. |
| 15:50 | < locas> | I've never purposefully acquired megablocks |
| 15:51 | < Ced23Ric> | i.4cdn.org/tg/1400424238692.png |
| 15:51 | < Ced23Ric> | There's some more shots of the grunts and the LMG. |
| 15:51 | < Ced23Ric> | LMG dude looks pretty baller, I think. |
| 15:52 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe the pose does it. |
| 16:00 | < locas> | gotta walk to the store to buy a new d |
| 16:02 | < Ced23Ric> | A new ... d. |
| 16:02 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, I am confused. |
| 16:03 | < FlakManiak> | New dinosaur, clearly. |
| 16:03 | < Ced23Ric> | Or a new distopian novel. |
| 16:04 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe a new deflector shield emitter. |
| 16:04 | < Ced23Ric> | But what do I know. |
| 16:04 | < Ced23Ric> | I know one thing. Working on three companies this weekend has ruined my fingers. Index fingers and thumbs primarily. |
| 16:04 | < Ced23Ric> | And I just tried to peel an orange. |
| 16:05 | < Ced23Ric> | I am in more pain than I was expecting. |
| 16:05 | < locas> | oh like between the nail and finger? |
| 16:05 | < locas> | I hate that |
| 16:05 | < locas> | a d string |
| 16:05 | < Ced23Ric> | Which is, incidentially, completely different than a g string. |
| 16:05 | < locas> | last time I was at the lego store I got a 2nd brick seperator |
| 16:05 | < locas> | well I'll buy buying a g string too |
| 16:05 | < locas> | but only because they come in packs of 6 :| |
| 16:05 | < Ced23Ric> | I dunno. |
| 16:05 | < Ced23Ric> | I started picked up parts with pincers. |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Uhm ... pliers? |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | No, that's not right.. |
| 16:06 | < locas> | I always fuck them up if I do that |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Tweezers! |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Yeah. |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, I pick them out of the trays with tweezers. |
| 16:06 | < locas> | oh |
| 16:06 | < locas> | yeah |
| 16:06 | < locas> | like a scientist |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | And seperate them by twisting, then lifting. |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Yes. |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | Or a insectologist. |
| 16:06 | < Ced23Ric> | (If that is a word.) |
| 16:06 | < locas> | entomologist |
| 16:07 | < Ced23Ric> | That! |
| 16:07 | < locas> | I go now |
| 16:07 | < locas> | bye |
| 16:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Bye. |
| 16:21 | < locas> | the record store is not open on sundays :( |

| 16:22 | < Ced23Ric> | This photo. |
| 16:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Why babby trees. |
| 16:22 | < Ced23Ric> | They are barely in the 3 to 4 metres range of height. |
| 16:23 | < Ced23Ric> | I mean, the Chub looks gloriously big in that brush. |
| 16:23 | < Ced23Ric> | But those trees are ... tiny. |
| 16:23 | < Ced23Ric> | (Although I like what he did with those palms.) |
| 16:24 | < locas> | maybe the ecosystem there just doesn't support more growth |
| 16:24 | < locas> | if that chub is there to log, though, it seems silly |
| 16:24 | < locas> | use a scrambler :P |
| 16:24 | < Ced23Ric> | Ha! |
| 16:24 | < Ced23Ric> | Crawlin' under the tree cover. |
| 16:25 | < Ced23Ric> | I really like those palm trees. |
| 16:25 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll make some. |
| 16:26 | < Ced23Ric> | Looks like I can make 10 with brown/green. |
| 16:30 | < Ced23Ric> | Oh boy hat drains parts fast. |
| 16:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Bwahahahaha. |
| 16:43 | < Ced23Ric> | 20 trees. |
| 16:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Muh dick. |
| 16:45 | < FlakManiak> | That's more than I have. I've a mere fifteen trees. |
| 16:46 | < Ced23Ric> | Time to take a picture while I still have some daylight. |
| 16:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Ha. |
| 16:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Left the cam on for 3 hours after several long exposure shots. |
| 16:49 | < Ced23Ric> | battery's dead. |
| 16:50 | < Ced23Ric> | I keep forgetting to turn it off, because tripod and all. |
| 16:50 | < Ced23Ric> | But I have spares. |

| 21:02 | < Ced23Ric> | ;_; |
| 21:31 | < locas> | I was plantin shit |
| 21:31 | < locas> | done now |
| 21:34 | < Ced23Ric> | What did you plant? |
| 21:34 | < locas> | lettuce mostly |
| 21:34 | < locas> | couple squash |
| 21:34 | < locas> | some radish |
| 21:34 | < locas> | transplated them |
| 21:36 | < locas> | they were growin in cups |
| 21:36 | < locas> | until today |
| 21:36 | < Ced23Ric> | UNTIL TODAY. |
| 21:36 | < Ced23Ric> | TRAPPED NO MORE. |
| 21:37 | < Ced23Ric> | RETURN OF THE SQUASH. |
| 21:37 | < Ced23Ric> | ASSAULT OF THE RADISH HORDES. |
| 21:37 | < Ced23Ric> | LETTUCE LANCERS REPORTING IN. |

| 22:03 | < locas> | hi |
| 22:03 | < locas> | i'm recording atm so I might not respond immediately |
| 22:03 | < locas> | but I am here |
| 22:04 | < Ced23Ric> | http://i.4cdn.org/tg/1400446914538.png |
| 22:04 | < Ced23Ric> | The fruit of two weeks! |
| 22:07 | < Ced23Ric> | I think I need to do a beauty shot. |
| 22:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Like, set ALL of it up. |
| 22:07 | < Ced23Ric> | But then again, I am lazy and I don't have any daylight right now. |
| 22:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Makes it all yellow and shitty. |
| 22:07 | < Ced23Ric> | Maybe tomorrow, after work. |
| 22:08 | < Ced23Ric> | (Holy fuck, that's 35 frames, 20 trees, 25 pieces of cover, and a random battlefield made from felt...) |
| 22:09 | < Ced23Ric> | I have about an hour left. |
| 22:09 | < Ced23Ric> | I COULD do it now. |
| 22:09 | < Ced23Ric> | I mean, nothing is stopping me. Or encouraging me, for that matter. |
| 22:09 | < Ced23Ric> | Soren is braindead since ... all day. |
| 22:09 | < Ced23Ric> | At least you are semi-here. ;_; |
| 22:12 | < locas> | that is a huge ass kit |
| 22:12 | < locas> | bigger than my demo kit now I think |
| 22:12 | < locas> | what's that orange/red chunk? |
| 22:12 | < locas> | have I seen those? |
| 22:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Demo team 1 through 5? |
| 22:13 | < Ced23Ric> | I dunno, have you? |
| 22:13 | < locas> | like are they old |
| 22:13 | < locas> | I don't think I've seen |
| 22:13 | < locas> | whatever company has the red and orange |
| 22:13 | < locas> | I've definitely seen the pink and white ijad and the green and black ones |
| 22:13 | < Ced23Ric> | Lemme look it up. |
| 22:14 | < Ced23Ric> | http://mobileframehangar.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4646 |
| 22:14 | < Ced23Ric> | There. |
| 22:14 | < locas> | oh shit these are yours |
| 22:14 | < locas> | I didn't realize |
| 22:14 | < Ced23Ric> | Yes they are. :D |
| 22:14 | < locas> | I guess I saw them on that 4chan thread |
| 22:15 | < locas> | I can't believe you used basic chubs |
| 22:15 | < locas> | I really like the yellow monkey team |
| 22:15 | < locas> | this is what I was recording |
| 22:15 | < locas> | https://soundcloud.com/emma-missiles/home-again-garden-grove-the-mountain-goats- cover |
| 22:15 | < locas> | totally unrelated |
| 22:16 | < Ced23Ric> | Why can't you believe that? :D |
| 22:16 | < locas> | because you're all superchub |
| 22:16 | < Ced23Ric> | It's for a demo team. Needs to be "stock". |
| 22:16 | < Ced23Ric> | All of those ten frames are more or less basic classic fraes. |
| 22:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Holy fuck, that guitar has a loose body or neck or chevalet. |
| 22:17 | < Ced23Ric> | Or it's the mic. |
| 22:17 | < Ced23Ric> | It is probably the mic. |
| 22:17 | < locas> | I don't even know what a chevalet is but it's definitely the mic |
| 22:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Basically, the bit that elevates the strings so they hover over the resonance hole. |
| 22:18 | < Ced23Ric> | It's way, way more pronounced on a violin. |
| 22:18 | < locas> | I guess we call that the saddle |
| 22:18 | < Ced23Ric> | Fair enough! |
| 22:18 | < locas> | but this is electric so it doesn't really have a saddle, it has like |
| 22:18 | < locas> | six individual saddles |
| 22:18 | < Ced23Ric> | So, yeah, your mic oversteers like crazy. |
| 22:18 | < locas> | well yeah it's just the built in mic on my laptop |
| 22:18 | < locas> | it's a pos |
| 22:19 | < locas> | it's okay for quiet volume shit but that song is not fun |
| 22:19 | < locas> | to play quiet |
| 22:19 | < Ced23Ric> | >laptop mic |
| 22:19 | < Ced23Ric> | It's like you hate your own music. |
| 22:20 | < locas> | I had to choose between buying a mic |
| 22:20 | < locas> | and buying a loop pedal |
| 22:20 | < locas> | I chose loop pedal |
| 22:20 | < Ced23Ric> | http://www.ced23ric.de/stuff/mf0/battlefield.png |
| 22:20 | < locas> | when I have something of my own worth recording I'll buy a mic |
| 22:20 | < Ced23Ric> | I cannot wait to put that to use. |
| 22:20 | < Ced23Ric> | That ... that does make sense. You are absolved of accusations and contempt. |
| 22:21 | < locas> | do you have special rules for water? |
| 22:21 | < Ced23Ric> | I have 5 circles. |
| 22:21 | < Ced23Ric> | Grey, blue, green, brown, black. |
| 22:21 | < Ced23Ric> | And then, dozen of patches in all colours except for black. |
| 22:21 | < Ced23Ric> | (Because black is space, fucker.) |
| 22:21 | < Ced23Ric> | The blue ones are more watery, including a long river. |
| 22:21 | < locas> | cool |
| 22:22 | < locas> | we're gonna go grill stuff I think |
| 22:22 | < locas> | back in a bit |
| 22:22 | < Ced23Ric> | Well, i#ll go to bed then. |

| 23:01 | | mraichelson [mraichelson@Nightstar-cvmeup.client.mchsi.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 23:08 | < Soren> | At this point I think Iām just subconsciously trolling Ced by not being here when he wants to pick my brain. |
| 23:08 | < Soren> | But itās by total accident. |
| 23:12 | < mraichelson> | āaccidentā yeah. sure. |
| 23:12 | < mraichelson> | dang, 4 more people for kits today. |
| 23:17 | < locas> | are you taking apart people to repurpose? |
| 23:17 | < locas> | if so I approve |
| 23:17 | < locas> | people can always be put to better use |
| 23:21 | < mraichelson> | that would be a good plan. |
| 23:21 | < mraichelson> | but no, i meant the chub kits. 4 more orders for them today. |
| 23:22 | < locas> | oh, you're making kits? |
| 23:22 | | * locas doesn't read the forums |
| 23:22 | < locas> | well, not often anyway |
| 23:23 | < mraichelson> | yeah, parts for chubs. https://gum.co/mobileframezero-chubs |
| 23:28 | < locas> | are you ordering parts specifically to resell or did you just have a lot |
| 23:38 | < mraichelson> | going to order parts to resell. |
| 23:38 | < mraichelson> | (i wish i had the parts for 50 chubs) |
| 23:55 | < Ced23Ric> | SOREN YOU FUCK. |
| 23:55 | < Ced23Ric> | I WOKE UP. |
| 23:56 | < Ced23Ric> | Are you here? ;_; |
| 23:58 | < Ced23Ric> | Of course not. |
| 23:58 | < Ced23Ric> | I can't sleep. |
