L3[00:11:44] <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...

L4[00:12:54] <FLHerne> was there a Red Alert FPS?

L5[00:13:43] <SporkWitch> no, it wasn't in the C&C universe

L6[00:13:56] <SporkWitch> i'd recognize the cover if i saw it; i'm checking wikipedia's list of alternate history games

L7[00:16:46] <SporkWitch> bah, i can't find it :(

L8[00:23:26] <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)

L9[00:24:23] <raptop> Operation Flashpoint?

L10[00:24:34] <SporkWitch> i don't believe so

L11[00:24:56] <SporkWitch> lots of red on the cover, that's why i want to say it was alternate cold war setting

L15[01:41:20] <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.

L16[01:41:33] <funkenstein> wow

L17[01:41:46] <funkenstein> that was one of the best combos I've seen

L29[04:13:59] <SporkWitch> funkenstein: i do feel like you overuse the bot, but even i must concede, that was a perfect combo haha

L42[07:09:00] <XXCoder> ;mission

L43[07:09:00] <LunchBot> You rewire the comms to play ghetto rap. Wolfram Alpha couldn't display the answer.

L44[07:09:18] <XXCoder> the answer on why I did it I guess

L45[07:10:06] <SporkWitch> XXCoder: here's your ghetto rap, as requested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2pySXCmwpc

L46[07:10:49] <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)

L47[07:11:49] <XXCoder> interesting video. couldnt say much on music as im deaf lol

L48[07:12:14] <SporkWitch> i have no politically correct response to that; music is the only thing that keeps me remotely sane

L49[07:13:23] <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

L50[07:14:34] <SporkWitch> (we're a copuple months late for the holy day it's about; closest that most would understand would be May Day)

L53[07:18:11] <XXCoder> interesting.

L54[07:20:40] <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

L91[21:10:49] <LunchBot> You deliver a rover via fractional orbital bombardment. Your Total Conversion Power Plant converts to Later-Afternoon Yesterdationism.

L92[21:20:44] <SporkWitch> lol those crazy [children conceived out of wedlock] actually did it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K67lTPeA2Iw

L93[21:24:48] <Mat2ch> B7 is lifted from the OLIT. Means probably no flight this month :(

L96[22:54:36] <funkenstein> ;mission

L97[22:54:36] <LunchBot> You bolster your snacks' nutritional value by adding nitrogen triiodide. The Trio gets banned for profanity.

L98[22:54:51] <funkenstein> the triio, perhaps

L99[22:58:23] <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

L100[22:59:15] <funkenstein> I was suggesting that the nitrogen triiodide was the one bering profane\

L101[22:59:56] <funkenstein> being*

L103[23:02:33] <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 :)

L104[23:04:08] <funkenstein> hehehe

L105[23:04:44] <funkenstein> ;mission add You encounter the Knights who say NI3

L106[23:04:44] <LunchBot> Added mission: You encounter the Knights who say NI3

L107[23:12:15] <raptop> ;mission fixup s/3/₃

L108[23:12:15] <LunchBot> Format for `fixup` should be s/<old>/<new>/

L109[23:12:22] <raptop> ;mission fixup s/3/₃/

L110[23:12:23] <LunchBot> New text is: You encounter the Knights who say NI₃

L111[23:13:12] <funkenstein> I didn't know I could get that from a keyboard

L112[23:13:34] <raptop> I had to use vim digraphs to get it =S

L113[23:19:36] <FLHerne> I can get it by typing ₃

L114[23:19:40] <FLHerne> er
