@Hosch250 they will object to starring pointless spam :-)
 
We usually don't object to it in the 2nd Monitor.
 
@Hosch250 they don't he is just paranoid because he is an insecure spammer and was dropped when was a baby
 
You could always start a room for the sole purpose of staring spam.
 
@Hosch250 We are part of the first monitor, standards are higher on this side.
 
@Hosch250 we have "the blunderfarm"
and "the renderfamr"
 
8:01 PM
@Hosch250 Wouldn't be as funny if it were allowed
 
@GiantCowFilms yah :-)

@Hosch250 they let us keep these stars:
 
depends
 
@Hosch250 one time me and a few others pinged @ARadish 483 times - he had quite a few notifications when he came on :-)
 
LOL.
 
8:02 PM
At times, we have actually discussed blender
@Hosch250 I got zapped something over a hundred too
@Hosch250 with the amount of people in the 2nd monitor, you could beat that record
 
yah, "on topic" for this room is really flexible.
 
all that you do is end your messages with (@Username)
like that (@Username)
 
@GiantCowFilms We'd probably get kicked.
 
We could probably pull it off if we got everyone into the Nth
 
8:06 PM
@gandalf3 Hey gandalf!
 
@GiantCowFilms yes
Hi :)
 
we have some stars for you!
 
What happened to our stars o.O
 
leave them for david to see
he will go hysterical!
 
CAUTION; NEW CONSTELLATION AHEAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
 
8:08 PM
@gandalf3 "Meetin' you face to face is a real treat." I thought you went back to Valinor, or wherever you came from?
 
CAUTION; THIS SIGN HOLDS MANY POINTLESS STARS
 
@Hosch250 I guess I should change my name to olórin3 then :P
 
But he wouldn't be able to be on SE, I don't think.
BTW, how did you enjoy the Balrog?
 
Who knows.. Maybe the valinor also create wifi hotspots?
 
8:11 PM
Maybe.
 
@Hosch250 Well, that was gandalf1.. Then gandalf2 had to muck around with sauron..
 
lol
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ in your world or The Colorful Hills of Stackexchangia
 
8:13 PM
(must not damage the perfection of the sidebar)
 
:27759085 XD
 
wuuuuut
 
@gandalf3 that was a nice render, although the shadow on the rings is darker than the dark side of the planet.
 
bro, thats 30*, 60* 90*. how perfect
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ ahh
 
@GiantCowFilms Yes. Light is reflected off the rings onto the planet
 
I think it would be funner in the long run if we all primarily play there.
 
LOL, someone from Duke just contacted my on LinkedIn asking me to take a Masters in Management there.
 
8:14 PM
@gandalf3 Oh...
 
But it's so dim by the time it reflects of the rings > planet > rings that the rings remain pretty dark
 
@Hosch250 Give him your SSN
it'll be the best day of his career.
@gandalf3 I see
 
***-**-****?
 
@gandalf3 now add some asteroids and a spaceship
 
@GiantCowFilms That's whats next :)
 
8:16 PM
See? @David we are talking about blender! this is actually on topic!
 
@Hosch250 *** ***** **
 
What image be this?
 
@gandalf3 (excited face)
 
Thing is, I don't want to be a manager. Should I just ignore the message?
 
8:17 PM
^^ that's an actual picture of saturn
 
it looks really CGI
 
Albeit from the bottom
The rings are backlit
 
8:17 PM
I just deleted it and blocked promotional messages.
 
turns out Saturn was made in blender
 
XD
 
@GiantCowFilms But you can see on the lower bit of saturn where it's a bit brighter due to light reflecting off the rings
 
@gandalf3 Yes
 
8:19 PM
@GiantCowFilms you mean NASA has been lying to us all?
 
@gandalf3 I think you should apply some hyper realism techniques to your rendering though
And add some fill light to the rings
to make a real thing look more realistic
 
what
why
 
So it looks realistic
 
There's no fill light in reality tho
 
But reality looks fake
 
8:20 PM
@GiantCowFilms but if the real thing was made in blender, all we need to do if find that file and hit F12
 
so lets make it look more real than reality
@X-27 That project would probably be 100 years ago, and is probably lost. 1 year ago is hard enough to find
 
@GiantCowFilms good point
when they made it, it probably was really advanced
now, their ancient render looks like garbage.
 
*adding rimlight, brb*
@GiantCowFilms Sorry about the awkward pause :P
 
@gandalf3 @gandalf3 Curious, did you model it to actual scale, is your sphere thousands of BU's acorss?
@gandalf3 :P
 
8:22 PM
what. the. fk
 
@GiantCowFilms it is :D
 
@gandalf3 read the deleted message
 
what's going on there tho
 
(I had to zap it to stop it getting on the sidebar)
 
@iKlsR we are leaving a surprise for david
 
8:23 PM
o
carry on
 
@GiantCowFilms Heh. The big cow is so giant it's in danger of collapsing into a black hole ;)
 
he will go ballistic :-) :-) :-)
 
@gandalf3 XD
 
@gandalf3 he is only 348' tall.
 
@iKlsR XD
 
8:24 PM
he would need to be really dense to risk a collapse.
 
Eats neutron stars for breakfast I hear
 
@X-27 hu wa, imma not denze
imma smat
 
@X-27 he is dense, trust me
 
@ARadish :-)
 
@ARadish Beat you to the joke
 
8:25 PM
I'm the one who said it in the first pace!
 
(What is denser then a cow? A radish)
 
@gandalf3 Nice
 
@GiantCowFilms Happy now? :P
 
wants to star
@gandalf3 Yes
 
8:25 PM
if your talking about taste density, then a cow has much higher density of nice tastes.
 
@gandalf3 Looks more realistic
 
XD
 
@gandalf3 that looks more real than the real one!
 
HYPER REALISM, we've done it! Take that euclidean! (We are the next innovator, none of you real time stuff)
 
Muahahahah!!!!
maybe we could also ping spam david?
 
8:27 PM
Ping me with David's reaction when he finds the stars.
 
that would make the surprise more memorable :-)
 
@gandalf3 Would star under normal circumstances.
@Hosch250 We'll star it ;)
 
@gandalf3 me too
 
@GiantCowFilms Would star under normal circumstances
but I now know it'll be deleted :P
 
He hasn't been on for 5 hours, so I'm not sticking around until he arrives.
 
8:28 PM
@gandalf3 XD
@Hosch250 Well star it so much, they'll write an SO blog post about the phenomenon.
"Why stack overflow chat users are weirdos (and we don't care)"
 
@GiantCowFilms that would be neat :-)
 
@GiantCowFilms would star but *insert fine print here*
 
@gandalf3 wsb...
(would star but)
 
@David Please come quickly. We need our stars back
heelp.
 
@David we may have to spam you
@David
@gandalf3 can you super ping him?@David
 
8:39 PM
gandalf3 used super ping! It wasn't very effective..
^^ prediction of the outcome
 
oh
 
It only does stuff if normal ping is completely inadequate
 
@David are you going to come today?
@David or wait until tomorrow?
 
@cegaton Really? large light sources usually mitigate fireflies for me
Makes it more likely for a ray to hit them
 
@David See? ^^^ That is talk about blender!
@David we are well behaved, and on topic!
kindof...
 
8:43 PM
We even talk about talking about blender :D
The Metafarm
^^ new chatroom name
 
The Metafarm!
that is great! :-)
 
@cegaton Hm.. I'd rather try and provide an explanation that encourages users to understand exactly what it does than just provide a value like "here, use this. It fixes your stuff".
Though an example of different values (with images) would never go amiss I guess
 
9:17 PM
'twould be easy to model one of those.
 
@X-27 nice!
@TARDISMaker @x-27 @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Hey guys! I've put a bunch of basics down in our fort/home in the new world
 
It still could use some serious interior decorating tho
I've just been focusing on getting basic building blocks etc for everyone to play with
 
9:32 PM
@ThomBlairIII hey, I love decorating :-)
 
I've got coal now
@X-27 awesome! yep, you're super good at it!
there's plenty of that to do, for sure! :)
 
if you want to unlock the ability to craft all the cool furniture and pretty blocks, simply go through the list, and craft everything at least once
 
oh ok, sounds good
 
the recepies (however you spell it) for the ones you've never made before will have half of the background blue
 
oh right, yep
 
9:35 PM
Hopefully I'll be able to get on soon
 
OK
ping me if you want...I'm going back to digging & foraging
 
awesome
@ThomBlairIII see if you can find some elderwood trees (pinetrees) if you do, gather as many rimcones (pinecones) as you can. they are great for throwing at monsters
I mean, as many as you can
 
oh, good idea!
I've forgotten about those
 
you could fill a warehouse with those and we wouldn't have enough :-)
 
XD
does @someonewithpc play creativerse?
 
9:44 PM
@iKlsR has a steam account, do you want to play?
 
or anybody else here?
 
lol
 
yeah, anybody is welcome to join in!
the more the merrier!
 
absolutely
we have a world, named
The Colorful Hills of Stackexchangia
where anyone from here is welcome to play.
it is password protected to prevent spambots, so let me know if you'd like to play in that world.
 
And, anyone is welcome, nay, pleaded with, to have as much fun as they want rearranging/building/making/exploring etc
lol
:)
 
9:46 PM
yah
 
ok, I'm off again
 
I'm thinking we can build one main complex where we keep a stockpile of resources, and where we all go to drop off stuff we find, and retrieve stuff we need.
or we could each have our own smaller bases, spread apart.
my thought behind a shared world was that we could all have our own bases, but we could all play together in the same world.
 
@ThomBlairIII Nah...
 
@someonewithpc ah ok
 
I already have way too many ways to waste my time :P
...
 
9:52 PM
@someonewithpc ah
 
What's with the stars?
 
I alwayas love a new way
 
Yeah, I might try it, at some point
@ThomBlairIII Is it on steam?
Like, only on steam?
 
@someonewithpc um, mine is on steam
 
@someonewithpc it is on steam. I do not know if there are other means of accessing it.
 
9:54 PM
I assume you have to have steam to play in our world, but idk
 
That's problematic...
It appears to be steam only
And I don't really like steam
 
@someonewithpc why?
 
?
 
9:56 PM
ahh.
 
intended as anti-piracy
 
"Digital Rights Management"
 
that DRM
 
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ But instead tends to make software unusable
Even for legit customers
 
9:58 PM
that shouldn't affect games only on steam, should it?
 
@X-27 What do you mean?
 
how does it make software unusable?
 
@X-27 This doesn't seem to happen so much with steam
But if you buy music from iTunes and you ever decide to move to a PC (running either GNU/Linux or Windows) you can loose access to your music
 
oh.
 
The same happens with ebooks from amazon and the like - they can only be read with their permission
 
10:01 PM
so, if you buy something using steam, and then, for example, change your operating system, steam will have a fit?
 
So if you ever decide to stop using products from that company, you lose all your ebooks
 
great way to ensure you don't loose your consumers....
 
@X-27 You should still be able to use it on the new operating system
 
@someonewithpc Exactly
 
But if you want to stop using steam, you lose your games
 
I can run some directly and not even open steam.
 
or will killing steam do something to all the titles purchased through steam?
 
loose is the opposite of tight
 
10:04 PM
@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Ok
@X-27 You probably won't be able to play them
And since they know that you won't want to lose your invested money, companies can start to do other things, like acting as malware
 
@someonewithpc ahh.
 
Anyway...
14 mins ago, by someonewithpc
What's with the stars?
ok...
I didn't get that last one...
The second to last, that is
 
ok
@X-27 "The “Cube” 3D printer was designed with DRM: it won't accept third-party printing materials. It is the Keurig of printers. Now it is being discontinued, which means that eventually authorized materials won't be available and the printers may become unusable."
 
reading that page now..
 
@someonewithpc read (part of) that too
just goes to show that you should build your own stuff.
 
10:48 PM
@X-27 or @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ or @ThomBlairIII how do i join your world?
 
@ARadish hey!
 
@ARadish you go to the search bar,
