07:08 * ConfusionRift sighs. That was a really chaotic day.
07:14 * Golden is having head pains right now.
07:25 <ConfusionRift> The day culminated with the following: 1) Early in the morning, someone was caught doing some suspicious activity, and the cops showed up to see. It all ended with SWAT showing up, and the person barricading themselves. 2) At midday, there was a shooting at a Wal-mart nearby. They caught most of the suspects, except for one who ran towards were I live. 3) People at our Wal-mart caught wind of the events and immediately went
07:25 <ConfusionRift> into panic. 4) Someone caught a customer legally carrying, and called the police. This put us on full lockdown and investigation.
07:28 <Golden> Wow
07:29 <ConfusionRift> 5) Right after it all went on full clear, the store resumed operations with about hand full of staff members. Most either ran after the call, called in, or left earlier. 6) There was a chase after the last suspect and other people got injured. 7) People remained tense and in panic for the duration of the day as I worked, and some numb skulls showed up to complain about them losing stuff or not being able to finish their
07:29 <ConfusionRift> purchase WHILE they were investigating the store.
07:30 <ConfusionRift> I hate this company so much.
07:33 <Golden> Oh dear
07:33 <ConfusionRift> It was low traffic day, but it was tense through out the 8 hours.

07:43 <Golden> Sorry if that sounded rude. You should get some rest though. You deserve it after the day you had.
07:44 <ConfusionRift> Nah, it's all good. And yeah, I understand those panic attacks with them essays to finalize the studies.
07:49 <Golden> This is the first time ever I am doing this so it's a bit worse
07:51 <Golden> Though on the plus side the classes other than (possibly) gen-ed is all online so I won't have to leave my home really for classes
07:59 <Golden> Downside is that there are no breaks like summer, and spring break. The only days I off get are major holidays and two weeks for Christmas and New Years.

15:52 <Cepheid> It's not news to me. :P
15:53 <Schism> It's still the sort of thing that makes one shake their head. :P

16:35 * DashedRainbows sniffs the dripping Ali
16:36 <Cepheid> Interesting observation.
16:36 <Cepheid> Some top-down space games use parallax for starfields.
16:37 <Cepheid> In reality, this is not how it'd actually work. Unless you were traversing excessively large distances at an extremely high speed.
16:39 <Cepheid> Even moving a few AU would probably only move a star's position, from your perspective, maybe a fraction of a nanometer, due to perspective and distance.
16:39 <Cepheid> You'd need to be moving at like, parsecs-per-second to notice any appreciable effect.
16:42 <Cepheid> Hmm. Well, I guess the first step is figuring out what the maximum system size should be.
16:47 <Cepheid> If I use an world unit of 1 pixel = 1 meter, I can get a maximum radius of 61,654,433 AU.
16:48 <Cepheid> Down to 1 centimeter, 616,544 AU.
16:49 <Cepheid> For comparison, 1 AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
16:49 <Cepheid> Which... seems a bit much, honestly.
16:50 <Cepheid> And that's using a 64-bit integer. I'd prefer a 64-bit float, for mathematical purposes, which limits me to...
16:51 <Cepheid> At the meter level, 60,209 AU. Or 602 AU at the centimeter level.
16:53 <Cepheid> For comparison, using the older definition of planets, the furthest planet is Pluto, at an average distance of 39.5 AU.
16:54 <Cepheid> Hmm.
16:54 <Cepheid> The heliosphere might be a better definition, since past that, the sun stops having an effect on objects. The heliopause is at 90 AU, giving a maximum diameter of 180 AU. I think...
16:55 <Cepheid> Yeah, I'll set it at 100 AU radius.
16:55 <Cepheid> Anything that goes beyond that is eaten by a space grue.
16:56 <Schism> Hmmm. If you're going to be a supervillain... https://qntm.org/asteroids
16:57 <Cepheid> Which provides a buffer of 400 AU between the defined edge and the maximum range given by a 64-bit floating point number at 1cm = 1px.
16:58 <Cepheid> But that'd result in some pretty large objects at 1:1 zoom. I expect a standard ship block to be 1-by-1 meter.
16:58 <Cepheid> Which means 100x100 pixels.
16:58 <Cepheid> So perhaps the accuracy should be something like, mmm...
16:58 <Cepheid> 10cm = 1px
16:59 <Cepheid> Schism: There's actually a game that lets you attach thrusters to planets, asteroids and the like, and fling them around.
17:01 <Cepheid> I unfortunately cannot recall the name at the moment.
17:02 * Cepheid does more math.
17:03 <Cepheid> Hum, it just damned on me that I am again, overthinking this.
17:03 <Cepheid> The starfield just has to be generated once and used as a static background.
17:03 <Cepheid> As, stated earlier, unless you're moving at parsecs, the stars aren't gonna move in the background.
17:04 <Cepheid> So I'm overcomplicating this.
17:04 <Cepheid> Though a part of this math is still needed for some stuff, so it's useful anyways.
17:07 * Cepheid solves the stability of generating random starfields for different resolutions by utilizing polar coordinates.
17:09 <Cepheid> ... Actually that doesn't solve the density problem at all. Hmm.
17:09 <Cepheid> Er, stability*

18:07 <Ali> Hehe, gotta love creeping laser defenses Cepheid
18:08 <Ali> Just slowly inch lasers close to a bug base, piss em off with rockets, watch em die to the lasers
18:09 <Cepheid> Yeah, but they keep nerfing them lasers, from what I see.
18:09 <Cepheid> Not that I mind. The lasers were kinda powerful to begin with.
18:10 <Ali> Well I upgraded to laser 2
18:10 <Ali> So its not the pure basic laser or the OP laser defense
18:10 <Ali> They do 20 damage flat
18:14 <Cepheid> Heh.
18:17 <Cepheid> Riiiight this doesn't work.
18:17 <Cepheid> Gonna have to use the hackjob approach.

18:50 * Schism peers at a run of Deus Ex which has: no weapons, no items, no lockpicks, no augmentations, no hacking, no flashlight, and the only door codes one is allowed to use are those obtained legitimately.
18:51 <Schism> And, for an even bigger challenge: no healing. All on Realistic difficulty, of course.

20:23 <Cepheid> Guh.
20:23 <Cepheid> I personally, want to relax. Play a game. In particular, I want to play EVE Online.
20:23 <Cepheid> But my mind will not allow it.
20:24 <Cepheid> The only thing it will allow me the right to do right now is lay down and relax.
20:24 <Cepheid> Otherwise, something in my mind induces an extreme guilt trip, telling me I haven't done enough work, I haven't worked enough, etc, etc, etc.
20:24 <Cepheid> Hell, the problem exhibits itself even when I play games with others.
20:25 <Cepheid> When I play games with others, either because of being forced, or encouraged in some manner, I am constantly thinking that I should be working. It drives me up a wall.
20:25 <Cepheid> It's also causing me to waste money.

21:51 <Schism> "I'm still trying to figure out a good way to produce buckyfibers." "You're WHAT?! These ponies have barely figured out proper concrete, and you're looking into that?"

22:25 <Schism> "I figure I could come up with a nano--" "No." "Let me finish." "No. Anything you come up with which starts with 'nano', I'm vetoing." "It would be harmless." "I know you. You'll create a desktop Von Neumann engine and the next thing we know, Canterlot Castle has been replaced by a monolith made of pony."
22:35 <Lumindia> '-'
22:35 <Lumindia> what?
22:36 <Schism> Random thoughts. o3o Von Neumann machines also have the distinction of being called 'grey goo'.
22:37 <Schism> They featured rather heavily in 2001 and its sequels.
22:39 <Schism> Buckyfibers are a currently mostly-fictional substance which have an incredibly strong tensile strength, is made primarily from carbon, and is probably the most important step towards an actual space elevator.
22:40 <Schism> They're a chain of buckministerfullerine molecules, and we don't have the means to produce them yet. But in a universe with magic, they might be plausible.
22:41 <Schism> They would also be somewhat important in the development of sustainable arcologies.
22:59 <Schism> Lumindia: If I ever wound up in Equestria, I would immediately think of ways to break the world.
23:00 <Schism> But, er... in a good way.
23:07 <Schism> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene
23:09 <Schism> When I read the phrase 'c60 can be hydrogenated,' my brain immediately goes to terrible places and starts screaming like mad.

23:36 <Lumindia> Have you praised the Great Serpent of Ronka today?
23:36 <Lumindia> o 3o
23:36 * Lumindia screes at Schism
23:42 <Cepheid> Tomorrow, I don't know how, but I plan to spend the day relaxing. Even if I have to steal some booze to do it.
23:43 <Cepheid> I'll work on Etrian Odyssey Nexus.
23:44 <Cepheid> Should also try the Star Devourer for a bit too.
23:52 <Lumindia> ⎝⎠ ╲╱╲╱ ⎝⎠
23:55 * Cepheid throws Lumindia at the Star Devourer.
23:56 <Lumindia> the way?
23:56 <Lumindia> the what?*
23:57 <Cepheid> True final boss of Etrian Odyssey 5. Absolute nightmare.
23:57 <Cepheid> It's first move is to do a TPK attack.
23:58 <Lumindia> ...
23:58 <Lumindia> it OPENS with an enrage? what the heck?
23:58 <Lumindia> that's not how fights work, sir
23:58 <Lumindia> D:<
23:58 <Lumindia> you're supposed to toy with us, THEN do the TPK
23:58 <Lumindia> assuming TPK = "Total Party Kill"
23:58 <Cepheid> Yep.
23:59 <Lumindia> That's not how encounters work, sir
23:59 <Lumindia> D:<
23:59 <Cepheid> Only way to avoid it is a special skill. It makes the party invincible for one turn.
23:59 <Lumindia> wow okay
