<Alkthash> Onii-chan is not a synonym for friend though Nova. It is moonspeak for "Hello sibling, shall we commence with the incestual pandering?"

<Barcode> also i have no idea what the tech trees are
<wagahaiwasaladdearu> wait it added tech trees?
<ponicalica> C&C's always had a tech hierarchy.
<ponicalica> you have to build a refinery before you build a war factory before you build a tech center, etc.
<wagahaiwasaladdearu> true but it was less of a tree 
<wagahaiwasaladdearu> since it was pretty much "build x to get y"
<Nitya> the tech vine
<Barcode> tech pole.
<wagahaiwasaladdearu> tech southern family tree

<Juan> IllFlower's profound knowledge of incest anime is terrifying yet amusing

<Jack> so, did everything in the 80s just have this incestuous copyright orgy, or uh, what the hell happened

<ponicalica> are you going to look up Vocaloid lesbian incest rape?
<IllFlower> You know, I just realized that I read over that sentence without batting an eye. I keep having these moments of self-realization where I go "what is /wrong/ with me?"
<IllFlower> Then I blissfully ignore this self-realization and go on with my life.
