@fbueckert Two guns? What kind of lame models did you get?

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot The ones that came with more melee weaponry than ranged?

I built a Freedom that has a sword as tall as it is, and a beam cannon the same size, too.

Jason Berkan

@OrigamiRobot Always, though I believe that is supposed to be a Deff Dread, and you usually run those with lots of close combat weapons.

Q: Can I transfer items between my characters in single player Starbound?

Based on this question about a shared universe/planets, I began wondering if you can transfer items between your own characters without an intermediary on a server. Currently at work and unable to test, but has anyone accomplished this and how did you do it without items despawning?

That said I need to find the right paints and everything which is why I still haven't assembled her.

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote Warhammer? The big models aren't priced poorly. It's the $5 per small model (when you need 40+ for a regiment) that hurts.

Grace Note

@JasonBerkan No, not Warhammer. Period, really.

@GraceNote Ask on Art-Overflow!

badp

@les your haste in labeling others as nerd is clearly a way to deny being labeled yourself, as much as labeling popular beers anti refrigerator betrays your true nature

Grace Note

@JasonBerkan Alternatively it's just a color code that I'm not familiar with because the country of origin differs.

I suspect a person at a crafts store will understand it better than I.

badp

@Ori ALL CAPS is a color

Jason Berkan

@GraceNote I know, it's just that each company may only make 2 or 3 off-whites, and if they don't match what you need...

Which brings us back to square one, which is "One of these days"

@badp I have no idea what the hell you mean by 'anti refrigerator', but I do not shy away from any label, even those which are grossly inaccurate. I'm just calling a spade a spade.

9:45 PM

@GraceNote If you're freezing it, why are you putting ice cubes in?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GraceNote this is a bad idea with most alcoholic beverages for various reasons, but especially for beer.

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot Future progress. Keep different trays of different fruit ices for whatever occasion.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I don't beer so this isn't an issue to me.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot There are times where a small amount of dilution is good/acceptable. Whiskey/Whisky/Scotch/Bourbon, for example, can benefit enormously from a little bit of ice/water to open it up a bit.

In the latest Minecraft server, spawn-protection and the radius in which players first spawn are identical.

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote I went to a hobby store the other day to look for a model train smoke generator. They didn't have any, but they did have some little brass tubes that I thought of a good use for so I got one. The older man at the register seemed downright offended that I'd use a debit card for a ~$2 purchase.

Grace Note

Oh, I have plenty of forward thinking. It involves keeping my job.

Ullallulloo

@LessPop_MoreFizz But money.

Also, this is a really nice laptop desk.

OrigamiRobot

@JasonBerkan The comic shop I go to won't take a card for <$10 either. That's fine and I understand, but if you don't have that policy, don't grumble "Credit card for $2" not even under your breath until I leave.

If he had said anything about a minimum purchase, I could have bought more.
