<ELLIOTTCABLE> eligrey: idk there's sometimes a starbound server on purr
<ELLIOTTCABLE> purr runs a couple game servers when he can be arsed

<gq> something i'd forgotten i did not miss about minecraft: terrifying noises due to nearby large empty spaces underground
<gq> ELLIOTTCABLE: i'm on your minecraft server if at some point you feel like joining me
<ELLIOTTCABLE> ambience sucks.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> hi, gq
<ELLIOTTCABLE> we moved
<ELLIOTTCABLE> there's a desert, with a couple villages in it, around -700/-900
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or maybe it's -900,-700
<ELLIOTTCABLE> idk
<ELLIOTTCABLE> look for a giganormous structure in the sea. that part's pretty hard to miss.

<whitequark> wheeeee I fixed my cnc
<whitequark> hey ec
<whitequark> ec ec ec
<whitequark> do you wanna a scale model of your minecraft castle
<whitequark> actually these guys thought of it earlier and implemented better: http://www.printcraft.org/
<whitequark> but guess what, I can make it out of fucking METAL
<whitequark> (though that will take forever. hours, maybe days
<whitequark> that was done with a $50k printer

* whitequark cringes at the last episode of kill la kill
<whitequark> you know, the previous 15 were borderline porn
<whitequark> at some scenes
<whitequark> but this one... wtf
<joelteon> i just read the premise on wikipedia
<whitequark> it made *me* cringe. I don't recall the previous thing that made me cringe.
<joelteon> all i can say is wtf, japan
<whitequark> no, you don't understand
<whitequark> I don't cringe at "wtf, japan".
<joelteon> sure i understand
<joelteon> i was just commenting on how weird the show's premise is
<joelteon> i don't know anything about it
<joelteon> yes
<whitequark> it's... not wtf at all. it's basically a parody of several anime stamps abused to death
<joelteon> oh, i thought it was played straight
<whitequark> perhaps in a slightly weird combination
<whitequark> well, it clearly doesn't take itself too seriously
<whitequark> the weirdness starts at the point where clothing is space aliens feeding off living matter matrix-style and causing humanity's evolution
<joelteon> ok yeah
<whitequark> and organization called "nudist beach" whose goal is fighting clothing to return people to their natural, naked state
<whitequark> and glowing purple nipples
<whitequark> and lesbian incest
<whitequark> and it doesn't even top out at that
<whitequark> (I'm assuming none of you are going to watch it anyway)
<joelteon> dude, this show sounds awesome
<joelteon> thanks, bookmarked
<joelteon> what does the name mean
<whitequark> "kill or be killed"
<joelteon> oh
<whitequark> by the way
<whitequark> glowing purple male nipples
<joelteon> sure
<joelteon> well there's one of my hopes and dreams dashed
<whitequark> it's called "nudist beach" for a reason
<whitequark> actually most, if not all, of characters run around naked at some point *shrug*

<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: here?
gq has joined #elliottcable
<glowcoil> alexgordon: hi
<glowcoil> vil: i like that peacock track
<glowcoil> a lot of good melodic synths
<ALEXGORDON> hi q
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: I was going to ask you a question but I forgot
<glowcoil> alexgordon: haha ok
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: oh I know what it was
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: print function or print statement?
<ALEXGORDON> print foo
<ALEXGORDON> vs
<ALEXGORDON> print(foo)
<glowcoil> probably function
<glowcoil> i don't see much point in making such a syntactic exception
<glowcoil> find it hard to care much though
<glowcoil> i wouldn't choose a language based on whether it had one or not
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: I dunno, it's a small annoyance in python 3
<glowcoil> to have to type parentheses?
<ALEXGORDON> yeah
<ALEXGORDON> because it's a wrap operation
<glowcoil> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<ALEXGORDON> if you have "foo" and you want to make it "print(foo)" you have to type something before and after
<ALEXGORDON> on the other hand print(foo) looks nicer
<glowcoil> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<glowcoil> :p
<glowcoil> i'm finding it really hard to care about things like that now
<ALEXGORDON> BUT BUT BIKESHEDDING
<glowcoil> all i care about is fun/ease of use in a language
<glowcoil> haha
<glowcoil> like i really admire processing
<glowcoil> etc.
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: hand in your ##paws card
<whitequark> you have clearly not tried to, you know, actually use anything written in processing
* whitequark has osPID with a processing GUI and it's such a horrible pita
<glowcoil> whitequark: well i mean there are different use cases
<glowcoil> i imagine it's not so good at embedded
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: other thing I'm trying to figure out is lightweight processes
<glowcoil> than fun visualizations/games
<ALEXGORDON> like erlang, rust, etc
<whitequark> glowcoil: it's not really embedded. it's basically a config GUI
<whitequark> in theory ideal use case for processing
<whitequark> but it sucks so badly
<vil> glowcoil: innit cool?
<whitequark> the fact that such environments attract unqualified programmers probably counts in, too
<glowcoil> whitequark: idk yeah i just like the whole ellipse() thing
<glowcoil> like, no fuss
<whitequark> have you seen BGI?
* glowcoil shakes head
<whitequark> I feel like this is what you want :D
<glowcoil> oh neat
<glowcoil> that's cute
<whitequark> basically a full circle
<glowcoil> man why isn't everything like that
<whitequark> because it's choke full of global mutable state and shit
<whitequark> SDL actually provides very similar set of primitives
<glowcoil> hm ok
<glowcoil> thinking back to when i made games in game maker
<glowcoil> and it was "chock full of mutable state and shit"
<ALEXGORDON> this is actually relatively on topic for ##paws lol
<purr> lol
<glowcoil> but it was my most productive time with game making
<ALEXGORDON> though it's no print(a.list), lol
<glowcoil> alexgordon: oh cool
<glowcoil> hahaha
<ALEXGORDON> 10 internet points if you can think of a better example :P
<ALEXGORDON> that one is really dumb
<glowcoil> alexgordon: print(a.list) is?
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: no the one in my gist
<ALEXGORDON> spawning a subprocess to add "Mr" to a name :P
<ALEXGORDON> lightweight subprocess
<glowcoil> hahaha
prophile has quit [Quit: The Game]
<ALEXGORDON> glowcoil: so it would compile into something like https://gist.github.com/fileability/85bcfe207530ccae5af7
<ALEXGORDON> wait actually, oops
<ALEXGORDON> gcd <3
<glowcoil> i want to make music that is a place you can go to
<glowcoil> like
<glowcoil> burial, and my bloody valentine, and boards of canada
<glowcoil> i was watching a lot of youtube "in the studio with" things
<glowcoil> to learn more about production
<glowcoil> and i was kind of happy that some of it was confirming things i'd figured out on my own
* ALEXGORDON has no idea what you just said
<ALEXGORDON> and it wasn't about category theory
<glowcoil> and then i started watching one of like El-B
<glowcoil> and it kind of destroyed the magic of his songs i'd heard
<glowcoil> because i could see exactly what he was doing and it was clear he wasn't very knowledgeable about production
<glowcoil> and i realized that i was missing the entire point
<glowcoil> and i also realized i want to create the distance
<glowcoil> between me and people who listen to my music
<vil> see that's what's interesting
<glowcoil> oh hi vil
<vil> hi
<purr> vil: hi!
<glowcoil> sometimes i forget you're in here haha
<vil> me too
<vil> but like, watching deadmau5 work only gives me more appreciation for his music
<vil> and maybe that's because he does have a ton of experience
<vil> but I love seeing the process behind making the crazy sounds that go into a track
<vil> it's amazing to me how tweaking a single knob can completely change the feel of a song
<vil> also I like watching the blinkenlights, but that's neither here nor there
<glowcoil> yeah there's something to be said for both approaches to PR
<glowcoil> and deadmau5's music is really technically polished so that's one reason that approach works
<vil> yeah
<glowcoil> like with burial's music
<glowcoil> i'm very glad he doesn't livestream
<glowcoil> i want there to be mystery
<vil> deadmau5 is almost a unique case in how much he shares
<glowcoil> like he's said little bits and i can kind of piece together his process
<glowcoil> idk about glowcoil as a moniker now hahahahaha
<glowcoil> i'm so fucking indecisive
<glowcoil> liek i'm going to stick with it for indie games
<glowcoil> and other things
<glowcoil> but maybe for music i want someting else
<glowcoil> and separate my indie games persona from that
<vil> if I ever end up making a music mine is currently dVdt
<vil> change in volume over the change in time
<glowcoil> oh that's cute
<vil> it makes me so sad that deadmau5 deleted his soundcloud account
<glowcoil> oh he did?
<glowcoil> :c
<vil> there was so much unreleased stuff there
<vil> yeah, he's moved everything behind a paywall
<vil> which is actually interesting and not horrible, because he's using it as an alternative to traditional sales of albums and such
<vil> a monthly subscription gets you all the music he has available
<vil> granted not everything is there yet, but he's added a ton of really old stuff
<glowcoil> sounds kind of like a patreon
<vil> a bit, yeah
<vil> live.deadmau5.com
<vil> I haven't upgraded to paid yet, so I can't get most stuff
<vil> there are a few songs for free
<glowcoil> ok yeah
<vil> he's putting nyancat on his freakin' ferrari
<glowcoil> vil: so my friend is in a band
<glowcoil> (who i'm actually going to see tonight at a fairly big show)
<vil> nice
<glowcoil> and it's like, they're pretty good but not like groundbreaking masterpiece status yknow
<glowcoil> like generic dance indie pop rock stuff
<glowcoil> fun
<glowcoil> really good live performers
<glowcoil> anyway
<glowcoil> so they're like, social media whores to the best of their ability
<glowcoil> and being at one remove from that kind of makes me want to
<glowcoil> not do that
<vil> yeah
<vil> see, it depends on how it's used
<vil> a lot of bands post stuff that's obviously specifically promotional and act like it's casual
<vil> and I hate that
<vil> but like deadmau5 just posts random crap and it becomes promotional because wow he's like a normal person
<glowcoil> yeah
<glowcoil> and that works becuase he's *already* famous :p
<vil> yes true
<glowcoil> though i mean, what it really comes down to is your music
<glowcoil> twitter whore skills won't get shit music out there
<vil> ^
<glowcoil> whereas good music will find a way out unless you literally never show anyone
