<Rig> I go back to work tomorrow. Actually excited about that. Should be getting new projects and junk.
<Nitya> at the school thing?
<Nitya> school... uh... whatever you did.
<Rig> Emerging Media and Technology Department or whatever the fuck we call it to make it sound more impressive.
<Barcode[spriting]> software engineering engineering solutions engineering dynamic.
<Rig> + Design
<Rig> That last bit is in Helvetica Neue.

<IllFlower> you know, in fifteen years I'm going to be hearing about how one of the UC campuses has set up a pornography studies department with a certain Joel Button as its chairman
<IllFlower> I'll look at the papers out of morbid curiosity and go, "that's the first time I've ever seen the word 'autofellatio' in a citation"

<StarGirl00> European wieners are tasty

<Cultist> I'm glad my inability to explain myself led to pictures of cat castration

<BonSequitur> "So it's an action-tactics word game RPG in which you create a character and cast spells by interacting with other characters with a natural language interface. It's set in a post-modern Victoriana-meets-New-Wave universe, to the music of Radiohead. The end boss is a Steampunk mecha hitler."
<Nitya> I like it, Bon, where's your Kickstarter
<BonSequitur> "Oh, and it's a F2P social game with Facebook integration as well."
<Nitya> :<
<BonSequitur> I'm setting up a Kickstarter for the Kickstarter for that project.
<BonSequitur> As you know, making a sweet Kickstarter presentation costs money.
<Nitya> Good, good.  Maybe you can get some VCs to fund that Kickstarter.
<BonSequitur> Actually, I was in talks with a microfinancing outfit about getting some seed funding to pay for my trip to go talk to VCs who can potentially help fund the kickstarter for my awesome Kickstarter presentation for the game project.
<IllFlower> Microfinancing is passé now. We've been using marginal loss-based nanofinancing sourced from urban pedestrian traffic corridors for our project.
<BonSequitur> IllFlower, you mean you've been taking lost change from sidewalks?
<IllFlower> That's what the venture capitalists said when they laughed at my financing scheme. We'll see who pelts whom with quarters next time we meet!
<Nitya> I think there's a viable tax deduction for that.
<IllFlower> Form 1067-N, line 26(a): Deductions for coinage used as munitions.
<Nitya> Sometimes, the system does work. :)

<barcode> "please don’t be ashamed to like something, though! i get so many messages that are like “awe man im so embarrassed of liking hetalia/anime/ect.” it’s not your responsibility to babysit any less unsavory people in your fandom. be proud of your interests!! if you’re a good person that is all that matters.  " but….camping as a moeification of a beach-head

<bloodpouch> i know it's winnipeg, but does it have to be so *cold* during the summer?

[Saladofstones is playing ArmA]
<Saladofstones> well
<Saladofstones> this was something
<Saladofstones> here we are in a tank, not any tank
<Saladofstones> but a variant of tank specifically designed to fight other tanks, so we have three layers of armor
<Saladofstones> one taliban with a grenade launcher gets a lucky hit, our ammo cooks off and we all die
<Saladofstones> thats 500 million dollars well spent, Pentagon
<Saladofstones> Someone got their 72 virgins instantly today
<Haruspex> oneshotting a tank is worth at least a few virgins imo
<Saladofstones> whats worse is that an APC survived a direct hit from my HEAT
<Saladofstones> what happened is that our hyper velocity rounds are too fast
<Saladofstones> so it went in one side of its thin armor and out the other and took out a tree
<Haruspex> gotta go slow... and... armor piercingly
<Saladofstones> I think this tank is either cursed or the spirit of technoallah was with the taliban today
<Haruspex> also i thought the point of HEAT rounds was that they exploded while inside or something
<Saladofstones> yup
<Haruspex> you had one job heat round
<Saladofstones> but the problem being it needs a specific set of circumstances to explode
<Haruspex> but nooooo, gotta blow up a tree
<Saladofstones> apparantely armor made of cardboard doesn't count
<Haruspex> yeah, they expect thicker armor than a shitty apc has, right?

<Nitya> .decide listen to shitty pop via youtube | listen to shitty pop via nightmares beamed into your mind from things beyond existence
<RocketDude> Granted, YouTube is probably a better medium than the latter
<Nitya> You'd be surprised!  The reception is usually pretty great.
<JuanC> RocketDude: you clearly haven't use Things Beyond Existence's services. I tell you, man, they're about be as big as YT is
<Nitya> Only once the stars are right again. Then we will dance through the ruined halls of Tsochari to the mad theremin of Commisar Schilling, as has our ancestors on Xoth once did
<IllFlower> I hate the advertisements, though. They really went downhill when they started reading your mind to sell you things.

<JBridge> Blendingcode: Say, do you happen to have a 3D model of the human muscle structure?
<JBridge> That is, a model of the naked human body.
<JBridge> But without the skin.
<JBridge> I need it for something.
<JBridge> Yes, something.
<Blendingcode> You will never be able to justify what you just said.
