mircea_popescu: (very similar to the nazi watering to look for buried stuff thing)
danielpbarron: people get so pissy when I catch them into a battle and take their turn
danielpbarron: cazalla, it's only evenly shared if you are evenly matched in battle mode (the thing that happens if you catch the player lingering on your square)
asciilifeform: (iirc the ultrasound thing is used for spot-checks)
nubbins`: but those sidechain tx's!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: things-that-are involve either melt-and-assay or that $50k ultrasound box
danielpbarron: thestringpuller, i also have the manual, but not the box (i bought the manual separately from the cart
nubbins`: too scary to actually look in the crystal ball
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we're discussing the things that are, not the things that could be.
cazalla: danielpbarron, i hate 2 player mode - always used to ensure console time is evenly shared amongst brothers :\
asciilifeform: iirc we did this here... can build machine that gives GUARANTEED tungsten-or-not, for 100 usd.
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: i think the cart alone goes for 120-140ish now. Full gets up (box et. al) is probably double that maybe 300-400 range.
mircea_popescu: if all the gold in the world changed hands right now it would take ~12 years to clear it all.
mircea_popescu: gavin should write a GIP to improve gold transfer blockspace.
nubbins`: i'll take 430s, please
mircea_popescu: tbh, the gold delivery process is not large enough. the only way to do it currently is to send delegates to observe assays. takes 7-10 days.
nubbins`: between 350 and 430 tr.oz, srsly?
nubbins`: the real lulz are when the good delivery bars are drilled out
mircea_popescu: 10 oz bar is not really storage grade toh.
thestringpuller: I didn't get to play Chrono Trigger till the PSX era when they rereleased it. It's a great game. Just so many different endings.
asciilifeform: notably, the tungsten-cored bars are ~trivial~ to detect, and their very existence is predicated on ~nobody wanting to detect~. this was discussed here iirc.
danielpbarron: thestringpuller, yes I am familiar with that one (my cousins had it) but unfortunately I never got it
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: That cartridge being Chrono Trigger.
asciilifeform: i thought it was well-known.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1273291 << these have been turning up since at least 2008 ☝︎
trinque: mircea_popescu: very true
danielpbarron: cazalla> danielpbarron, what's competitive smb3? << the game can be played "2 player" and each player has a separate score. You get the most points from time left over on the counter, so it's not usually a good idea to go back for coins.
mircea_popescu: much like "IP" had little meaning in the minstrel era.
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: You ever play Secret of Evermore? That cartridge is worth quite a bit these days iirc.
thestringpuller: the one good thing from canada
thestringpuller: mix tapes are for the A&R people
nubbins`: you'd listen to their mixtape?
trinque: I'd rather have the index of the right man's bookshelf than access to every landfill on earth for free ☟︎
thestringpuller: trinque: i'd listen to their music tho
trinque: I think the point about data vs code is key, that I might be willing to encounter someone else's data without a WoT relationship, but I'll be damned if I want to run their code
assbot: The Wizard - I love the Power Glove... it's so bad (Full Scene) - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1iHZoww )
cazalla: danielpbarron, what's competitive smb3? this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkK4wWZ2hYo
trinque: be they ROMs or books
trinque spend some time last night writing notes on a WoT+deedbot web of CLOS displayed by CLIM
nubbins`: with various handhelds scattered throughout
danielpbarron: mine still works. I sometimes use it to play competative smb3 via All-Stars
danielpbarron: trinque mentally hops sideways to Chrono Trigger << I got the official snes cartridge. I understand it's one of the more popular games from that era, but personal fav was "Secret of Mana"
nubbins`: well, we can't take that away from you
thestringpuller: for some reason this reminds me of kowloon walled city

mircea_popescu: because seriously, nobody needs them nobody wants them and they shouldn't even be here in the first place.
mircea_popescu: i would hope they did.
mircea_popescu: and they got shot for it, as they should have been ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall the euro jews who refused, collectively, to go to south america ?
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> mp's argument is hey if you're refugeeing, tanzania is just as good as anywhere else << no. my argument is that if you're refugeeing, where you go to refugee discriminates you. if you go to the eu, you're a scumbag. if you go to tanzania, you're somebody.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 23:06:04; mircea_popescu: "american" is not a thing, to begin with. he just lives there.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1273266 << this concept is absolutely key. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 22:47:27; mircea_popescu: trinque well, i see merit in it. the presumption you can enforce borders comes from what ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1273175 << this is not hard. mine fields, flame thrower tanks, etc. some countries selectively refuse to enforce them, yes. but not because the tech does not exist. ☝︎
trinque: nubbins`: ah the way the colors shift, got that on the last trip
nubbins`: combine those two videos somehow and you're close to the real thing
nubbins`: #1 goes to mad men
nubbins`: ^ this is maybe the second-most accurate depiction of LSD i've seen in video format
cazalla: thestringpuller, have not played recently so won't be any time soon
thestringpuller: lol cazalla back to the cel shading
nubbins`: or at least that's the outer layer of it, i can't be fucked to peel all of his onions for him
nubbins`: mp's argument is hey if you're refugeeing, tanzania is just as good as anywhere else
asciilifeform: the point is that i will not go to the mud voluntarily.
trinque mentally hops sideways to Chrono Trigger
asciilifeform: nubbins`: not the point
nubbins`: so you find yourself in the mud and what, lie down?
cazalla: thestringpuller, link has changed tremendously, he's a girl now
thestringpuller: damn. now I want to play starfox
asciilifeform: it is about wanting to live as man, not pig, and not needing pig-life for anything.
trinque: great granddaddy got the silver star
trinque: plenty actually, and they survived
nubbins`: no heroes in trinque's family
thestringpuller: trinque: star fox is a lot like link. doesn't really change. (i'm under the notion windwaker was a throwback)
trinque: my capacity to value things ends at death
trinque: magical thinking
asciilifeform: or just about any traditional culture
asciilifeform: ask the japanese
trinque: how can one value anything else if not that?
asciilifeform: but what i was trying to explain is that i don't get this bizarre preoccupation with survival.
nubbins`: is this an ethereum joke?
nubbins`: money's heavier than air
asciilifeform: but that's beside the point.
nubbins`: in the narrow context of your current employment, i should qualify
asciilifeform: the implication is that man does not live by bread alone (tm)
nubbins`: implication is that while you're a smart guy, you rely on other things to make your smartness useful
asciilifeform: 'if you fall overboard, have the decency to drown like a gentleman.'
asciilifeform: know what the english said ?
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 22:42:17; nubbins`: what's alf gonna do in tanzania?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1273136 << the implication, unless i am mistaken, is that i ought to go to tanzania, mongolia, wherever, to avoid being shot in the head. but what do i need not-being-shot-in-the-head for, in tanzania ? ☝︎
nubbins`: you mean you wouldn't move to tanzania if you could milk a cow?
nubbins`: but... the gameplay's usually there, so they get a pass
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-09-2015#1273142 << this is not why. ☝︎
nubbins`: they beat their franchises to death
trinque: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/353/b/3/the_star_fox_evolution_by_shadowtoast102-d4jlp9c.jpg << they didn't mess up star fox too bad
nubbins`: there's one ad spot where kid is playing and dad says HEY CAN I TRY and then converts level to smb1 skin
thestringpuller: can't make this dumb up: "surprise surprise. This was already brought up here about 3 months ago. Unfortunately with the Coinwallet Stress Test the other Altcoin businesses will use the results as a casestudy when they pitch their own blockchain to Fidelity, Citibank ,etc etc."
nubbins`: anyway, you can choose from i think 4 different styles with this one
trinque: the new animation style Nintendo's gone with is obnoxious, though
trinque: saw an ad for that just now, actually looks pretty fun
nubbins`: i'm dying to play the new super mario maker
