00:11 <SporkWitch> what was the name of that alternate history FPS from the late 90's / early 2000's? I want to say the setting was that the Soviets won the cold war...

00:12 <FLHerne> was there a Red Alert FPS?

00:13 <SporkWitch> no, it wasn't in the C&C universe

00:13 <SporkWitch> i'd recognize the cover if i saw it; i'm checking wikipedia's list of alternate history games

00:16 <SporkWitch> bah, i can't find it :(

00:23 <SporkWitch> speaking of Starship Troopers, they apparently just released an RTS in that universe lol https://store.steampowered.com/app/1202130/Starship_Troopers_Terran_Command/ (clearly based on the farsical movie that tried and failed to cast it as fascist)

00:24 <raptop> Operation Flashpoint?

00:24 <SporkWitch> i don't believe so

00:24 <SporkWitch> lots of red on the cover, that's why i want to say it was alternate cold war setting

01:41 <LunchBot> In a misunderstanding of "science yield", you replace the mystery goo with explodium. Your efforts are misdirected and fail to address the underlying problem. Everything explodes.

01:41 <funkenstein> wow

01:41 <funkenstein> that was one of the best combos I've seen

04:13 <SporkWitch> funkenstein: i do feel like you overuse the bot, but even i must concede, that was a perfect combo haha

07:09 <XXCoder> ;mission

07:09 <LunchBot> You rewire the comms to play ghetto rap. Wolfram Alpha couldn't display the answer.

07:09 <XXCoder> the answer on why I did it I guess

07:10 <SporkWitch> XXCoder: here's your ghetto rap, as requested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2pySXCmwpc

07:10 <SporkWitch> (or if you prefer the track i'm listening to as i saw your message and sent that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOvsyamoEDg)

07:11 <XXCoder> interesting video. couldnt say much on music as im deaf lol

07:12 <SporkWitch> i have no politically correct response to that; music is the only thing that keeps me remotely sane

07:13 <SporkWitch> that said, i can do a really cool video from the same (amazing) band. the song (and the video) tells a story, and it's enjoyable even without the music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLgM1QJ3S_I

07:14 <SporkWitch> (we're a copuple months late for the holy day it's about; closest that most would understand would be May Day)

07:18 <XXCoder> interesting.

07:20 <SporkWitch> i'm a fan of history and mythology, so i have a thing for bands like this, that set a theme and make music about the times

13:59 <Mat2ch> sooooo, SpaceX replaced a raptor on B7... we might get lucky and will see more tests soon

21:10 <LunchBot> You deliver a rover via fractional orbital bombardment. Your Total Conversion Power Plant converts to Later-Afternoon Yesterdationism.

21:20 <SporkWitch> lol those crazy [children conceived out of wedlock] actually did it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K67lTPeA2Iw

21:24 <Mat2ch> B7 is lifted from the OLIT. Means probably no flight this month :(

22:54 <funkenstein> ;mission

22:54 <LunchBot> You bolster your snacks' nutritional value by adding nitrogen triiodide. The Trio gets banned for profanity.

22:54 <funkenstein> the triio, perhaps

22:58 <packbart> "Nitrogen triiodide is an inorganic compound with the formula NI3. It is an extremely sensitive contact explosive: small quantities explode with a loud, sharp snap when touched even lightly, releasing a purple cloud of iodine vapor; it can even be detonated by alpha radiation." - I see. Maybe the cause of all the profanity

22:59 <funkenstein> I was suggesting that the nitrogen triiodide was the one bering profane\

22:59 <funkenstein> being*

23:02 <packbart> true. I didn't know what that stuff was, though, and then couldn't help but imagining snacks exploding in purple clouds inside the capsule and the crew's reaction :)

23:04 <funkenstein> hehehe

23:04 <funkenstein> ;mission add You encounter the Knights who say NI3

23:04 <LunchBot> Added mission: You encounter the Knights who say NI3

23:12 <raptop> ;mission fixup s/3/₃

23:12 <LunchBot> Format for `fixup` should be s/<old>/<new>/

23:12 <raptop> ;mission fixup s/3/₃/

23:12 <LunchBot> New text is: You encounter the Knights who say NI₃

23:13 <funkenstein> I didn't know I could get that from a keyboard

23:13 <raptop> I had to use vim digraphs to get it =S

23:19 <FLHerne> I can get it by typing ₃

23:19 <FLHerne> er

23:19 <FLHerne> AltGr _ 3

23:23 <raptop> heh
