@OrigamiRobot nav lock is literally no work

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Yeah. I'm not even going to be home tonight :(

I finally bought a 2nd plot of land just before I stopped last night.

Then a whole bunch of people got sick and I don't know why because they're surrounded by clinics.

Jason Berkan

I'm a single parent tonight, which means 3 hours of Avatar with the kids.

Kevin van der Velden

Godspeed!

Origami Robot

@JasonBerkan This sounds like the best.

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Depends on which avatar he means. The tv show, the other tv show, the movie, or the other movie?

Origami Robot

3:02 PM

Shows = good. Movies = bad.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Like, for example, when you were interdicted, I was still like 100 LS out, preparing to drop in on your beacon. The game pretty much teleported me to you.

It decided "close enough" and dropped me, safely, at that

Origami Robot

OK, the one movie wasn't bad in a vacuum, but it was by comparison.

Jason Berkan

@StrixVaria The TV show. We're up to episode 12, as the last month has been too crazy to watch TV.

Kevin van der Velden

I dunno, blue alien pocahontas wasn't terrible

StrixVaria

@JasonBerkan I finished the TV show recently. It's so good.

MadMAxJr

3:03 PM

That reminds me, I need to finish Korra.

Unionhawk

Okay, maybe that was 20 LS at that point, but the range for nav lock is ridiculous depending on your speed

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk Yea, they said they were relaxing Wing FSD.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot It's really relaxed and it's really nice

Origami Robot

@KevinvanderVelden But compared to TLA it doesn't hold a candle, IMO.

Unionhawk

Because dropping in on that manually would have probably ended in me not getting there in time

Kevin van der Velden

3:04 PM

@OrigamiRobot this is true

Unionhawk

Even with the wing safe approach limits of 3 Mm/s and 3 Mm away

Origami Robot

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot I need to redo a lot of bindings

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I probably will be. I have a netrunnr thing going on at 6, but probably going to skip this week

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot Now I want to make an engine that casts this on myself like 4-5 times.

Chippies

3:09 PM

@OrigamiRobot mine's white, wife's black. Now that I've seen black in person, it's not as bad as I thought, but white is still better looking by far :P

StrixVaria

Probably using Spellweaver Helix.

That's always a great card.

Paranormal are events and designates experiences that lie outside "the range of normal experience or scientific explanation" (Wikipedia & The Free Dictionary): such paranormal phenomena as telepathy or a medium's paranormal powers. Paranormal phenomena are distinct from certain hypothetical e...

Nooo make the paranormal stooooop!

Unionhawk

Chippies

I like how it contrasts with the mousepad though

and it contrasts with the black lines on itself as well, which is great

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 I like how his answer is basically "nything on this wiki"

Jason Berkan

@murgatroid99 He's got demons on the list. Why is he so anti-vampire?

Chippies

@JasonBerkan because vampires don't exist! (me paraphrasing what he said in a comment)

Origami Robot

3:12 PM

@Chippies My desk is black. I don't use a mousepad.

murgatroid99

@JasonBerkan Oh, angels and demons. Now I can make much better Supernatural references

Jason Berkan

And Japanese ghosts. @Wipqozn - ask some Mushishi questions.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan but I already have 5 questions!

Batophobia

@murgatroid99 I'm enjoying how the whole thing seems to be moving away from what he had planned

Wipqozn

@Batophobia What he planned was "A place to discuss the things I think exist that SCIENCE doesn't"

Have you read Good Omens?

Yuuki

@OrigamiRobot You should pick one up, they're pretty funny reads.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot I've been perking ideas around in my head for other LED combos. Are there tiny spinning LEDs? I ask because you would probably know better than me.

MadMAxJr

@SaintWacko It's on my To-read shelf.

AND SO DO YOU

Yuuki

3:35 PM

@OrigamiRobot Here's a recommended reading order for his Discworld series.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Uh. That would work for some, but for most, the LEDs should be pointed in the direction of the spin.

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot You're right.

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot My condolences.

Frank

Or...perpendicular? Crappy paint skills, go!

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk NOT SURE IF BETTER OR WORSE

Unionhawk

Oh god

I've never used a CAD program really

Origami Robot

@Frank OH, YOU MEAN LIKE MULTIPLE SPINNING AROUND ONE ANOTHER?

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk burn it to the ground already

MadMAxJr

That's a lot of books.

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Or around a central axis.

Unionhawk

I'm confused

@Yuuki I have read almost every Rincewind and Guards novel, but I can't stand the witches...

@5pike I haven't really read any of the witches. I do like the Death series though.

Origami Robot

ANYWAY, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN ASSEMBLY

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice so like #idarb, but greedy.

idarb?

Sterno

@GnomeSlice That end boss is a dick.

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Yeah he's pretty difficult.

Sterno

3:40 PM

Moreso because no one seems to drop health potions in there

GnomeSlice

He summons demons and hollow armors too

Frank

@OrigamiRobot If there's a way to do it without that, I'm all ears.

Rapitor

#idarb is a fun sports/party game that uses twitch/twitter integration so people can troll the games

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Nothing in boss fights drops health potions.

I don't know enough about what's possible.

fredley

This game is also monetizing sock puppets

Sterno

@fredley SUPER HARDCORE

GnomeSlice

> For instance, the audience can now also spend real money to purchase items for those players in the game or to drop enemies on top of them as they play.

Origami Robot

3:40 PM

YOU COULD HAVE A CIRCLE OF STATIONARY LEDS THAT JUST CHASE

GnomeSlice

That's like the hunger games

Origami Robot

LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

GnomeSlice

sponsors or some shit

Frank

@OrigamiRobot Mostly, I want them to light up, and then start spinning.

The spinning is key, but I guess stationary ones blinking quick enough would give a close enough effect.

Origami Robot

IF THEY ARE PHYSICALLY SPINNING FAST ENOUGH, YOU'LL GET A CIRCLE OF LIGHT EFFECT

Frank

3:42 PM

I don't want them spinning that fast.

But it would be neat if they could do that.

Oh that'd work

@OrigamiRobot Oh, so that LEDs are just covered some of the time.

Origami Robot

BECAUSE ROTATING ELECTRONICS ARE WEIRD

@Frank RIGHT

Frank

3:47 PM

Hmm.

Rapitor

@Chippies that's also how many youtubers work. They play for viewers, not themselves.

Frank

Of course, this is predicated on the assumption I can hack together something small enough to fit into my kit.

I have no idea. This is still in the planning stages.

Origami Robot

BECAUSE YOU'LL NEED A MOTOR

It's for this kit.

Check out the knee and elbow joints.

Kevin van der Velden

Any idea how tall that is?

The green bits in there?

Hmm

Frank

Yeah.

Origami Robot

YOU WANT IN IN THE JOINTS?

Frank

There are specifically holes for pre-made LEDs.

For the knees, anyways.

Origami Robot

OH, THAT SOUNDS WAY EASIER THAN I THOUGHT

The elbow joints are probably just going to be LEDs.

The idea was to spin continuously.
