loufghyslaufey: Episode TWO? How many sessions was Episode One?
kusinohki: as an overgrown man child, I think I swung a cardboard tube making lightsaber noises possibly within the last year
hyralt: zshvoom zshvoom!
loufghyslaufey: "Somehow Starkiller Base survived Episode I..."
adept_nekomancer: I see we've scattered six TIE fighter magnets... I mean asteroids... around the board.
kusinohki: defecting tie defender test pilot... wasn't that a Rebels cartoon plot??

adept_nekomancer:
@hyralt Thank you very much for the gift sub -- it is much appreciated! 
kusinohki: it's been a while, I might be combining episodes...
Cozy_Canadian:
stur wurs 
margieargie: @adept_nekomancer The asteroids make good things for the TIE fighters to run into and the TIE fighters make good things for Cori to run into
hyralt:
@adept_nekomancer @adept_nekomancer you're very welcome! 
johnnylongtorso: just get right up to the bee's nest and poke it to see what comes out
loufghyslaufey: @kusinohki "Commandeer," the keyword were looking for was to "Commandeer" a Tie Defender Fighter.
loufghyslaufey: Designate her as....
loufghyslaufey: "Rogue TWO."
adept_nekomancer: @margieargie I still think we need to find a way for Cori to strap a chainsaw on to the front of her ship to do ramming damage.
hyralt: @loufghyslaufey Andor season 2 ep1 was about "comandeering" an experimental TIE as well. I swear I've seen an episode of something about a defector, but idk
loufghyslaufey: @adept_nekomancer That's just a Hammerhead Corvette, silly.
johnnylongtorso: @adept_nekomancer stick the Mandalorian's beskar spear on the front

You just have to find the TIE Fighter with Cruise controls 
johnnylongtorso:
@Cozy_Canadian
playing with the droids... 
kusinohki: but what if the other is playing Danger Zone??
TheAinMAP: @hyralt Maybe the "Rebels" episode where they pick up Wedge from an Imperial academy?
hyralt: @TheAinMAP Oh, that sounds right
Sorator13: in pieces?
MungoDude: it takes two to tangle
loufghyslaufey: @TheAinMAP I only read the question as a T-Defender Pilot, & the ones they nabbed with Wedge were Fighter Academy students, so yeah.
loufghyslaufey: BGC?
loufghyslaufey: Or somehow Molly... no clue.
adept_nekomancer: These opening scrolls are great
Cozy_Canadian: No wonder these are experimental, I remember TIE fighters didn't have shielding at all
loufghyslaufey: Does this algorithm coincidentally transmitt from Skako Minor by any chance?
Cozy_Canadian: tho I guess these are Defenders so, okay yeah
adept_nekomancer: One last asteroid for the road
kusinohki: so some retcon in the extended universe - the Tie Defenders was a pet project of Adm Thrawn, but political maneuvering/games had the empire put resourses towards the death star instead...
loufghyslaufey: Thats the point, Ian. They DON'T get better by design.
WiJohn: Best friends forever, right buddy?!
margieargie: "Bye!"
loufghyslaufey: Uhuh... sounds like the ISB has entered the "Stigma Chat?" <(=w=)>
TheAinMAP: So many barrels rolling. It's like Donkey Kong is at the top.
Cozy_Canadian: "You remind me of your father!" "Hey genius, I'm on YOUR side!" "Check your G-Diffuser systems!"
kusinohki: I assume squad manuevers are based on the squad leader??
Cozy_Canadian: "Can't let you do that, FOX!"
loufghyslaufey: They barrel roll into each other henceforth ending the session, prematurely.
loufghyslaufey:
So the Imperial picked up on them right away,
rolled?
johnnylongtorso: ol' Two-Locks Lauder
kusinohki: the most dangerous, yet effective, maneuver - the head to head...
margieargie: Gee Cameron, how come the Alliance lets you have -two- locks?
TheGhostOfZero: lock, lock, and 2 smoking tie fighters
Lobo_Apache: turns out obiwan knew what he was doing with R4
LoadingReadyRun: @loufghyslaufey that's if you stand in front of the middle one, the two on either end move in and crash into the middle
9 raiders from Foxmar320 have joined!
Cozy_Canadian: I always wished there'd be a turn-by-turn PC game like this, but when you finish a mission you have an option to rewatch the entire playthrough at Actual Speed

LoadingReadyRun:
in hindsight, I guess I could have been taking screenshots after each move 
adept_nekomancer: Is it time for ramming speed?
HorusFive: @adept_nekomancer That asteroid had it comin'
Cozy_Canadian: @LoadingReadyRun add in little sound effects, and one flies dangerously close into "fun editing hobby"
kusinohki: hit the air brake/retro rockets and let them fly right past you...
hyralt: @kusinohki @kusinohki Games Night on Youtube played a short campaign of Aturi and they edited down the whole campaign into a single video with special effects (note that they don't mention Aturi, but that's clearly what they're playing). It was so much fun, I've been thinking about doing the same thing for this Long Game. If only I had editing skills.

LordZarano: @Cozy_Canadian Frozen Synapse has this
margieargie: "Everything's fine here, how are you?"
hyralt: @hyralt Games Night had the advantage that they shot it both from above and with hero shots using a camera on the table that they moved around.
LordZarano: @LordZarano Also Toribash but that's physics-based
kusinohki: I watched a carcassonne game where somone took a picture at the end of every turn. halfway through the game, one of the players started to animate his meeple supply. they were playing princess and dragon too so the dragon looked like pacman on occasion...
Cozy_Canadian:
@LordZarano Oh neat, I might wishlist these, ty ty 
LoadingReadyRun: ya for this game (or other miniature games like Killteam) there are all sorts of interesting things you can do when you are doing a prerecord
hyralt: @LoadingReadyRun true true
Lobo_Apache: Looks like we might beseeing the return of the mining Tie
adept_nekomancer: [bonk] "Hi! Are you the defector?"
LoadingReadyRun: prerecords of 40k/killteam games is definitely something we have thought about
hyralt: Prerecords would be rad, but I assume there's a lot of work involved
goombalax:
@LoadingReadyRun 
HorusFive:

kusinohki: R2 unit on the Y-wing just projects a hologram of "blink your landing lights if you're the defector"
loufghyslaufey: Cori "That's... why I'm here!" Ander (my bad, i don't know everyone's full name)
margieargie: Watch that be the defector too
goombalax: the blue milk of the imperial navy

kusinohki: I want to make a Cori-Andor joke...
Lobo_Apache: certainly the creamed corn of the imperial navy
adept_nekomancer: TIE fighters just doing laps
margieargie: I have questions about the Imperial starfighter doctrine
HorusFive: Just doin' donuts in the parking lot
adept_nekomancer: "Look, if we just do donuts we can't run into any asteroids."
Cozy_Canadian:
@hyralt I was googling parking rates in Victoria, Vancouver, and Toronto for nerd reasons. I missed this, thank you! 
Cozy_Canadian:
@hyralt 
adept_nekomancer: Do the TIEs get to focus even though they U-turned again?
HorusFive:
"It's OK. I'll draw their fire" 
kusinohki: stressful maneuver precludes focusing???
hyralt:
@Cozy_Canadian @Cozy_Canadian Last time I parked in Toronto, I parked right under the CN Tower and it was wildly expensive. Also you're welcome! 
Cozy_Canadian: @margieargie I've heard a few times that TIE pilots are proud that their fighters don't have shielding, and thus they have to be kind of insane (ly skilled?) to fly them? Idk if that helps LuL
kusinohki: nm, misunderstood the comment
Cozy_Canadian: @hyralt We (friends) were following up on a claim that a parking space in Toronto earned more hourly than an average working human. Was your space like, $27/hour?
hyralt: Right under the CN Tower (we had to be within walking distance of Ripley's for my mum), it was at least $20/hour
kusinohki: something about it's a lot harder to become a tie fighter ace because survivability without shields was quite low...
hyralt: @kusinohki Just like being a zero pilot with no armour
Cozy_Canadian: BibleThump that's expensive
margieargie: 1 is not 0!
LoadingReadyRun: @Cozy_Canadian survivor bias. "experienced" tie pilots are very good, because they have to be to last for a while
kusinohki: ^^^
hyralt: The battle in the pacific showed that even the best zero pilots lost out to more heavily armoured fighters over a long enough time span
kusinohki: and to further the survivor bias, these experienced pilots get promoted to better ships like the interceptor or defender...
hyralt: Ahhh, now that would work. Survive long enough in a ship with no shields and you get a sheild.
140 raiders from benjamin_wheeler have joined!
kusinohki: pilot ego gets in the way there. "shields just slow me down, so shunt all shield energy to engines!"

LoadingReadyRun: welcome Wheeler friends!
tdapenguin: @hyralt If someone goes for long enough, probability will eventually take its due
TheGhostOfZero: I thought tie fighters were supposed to be the mooks in this game but they're surprisingly resilient. Cam's rolls notwithstanding
kusinohki: (unless you're wedge antilles)
RatherLargeToad: You’re the best of what’s left
HorusFive: The best pilots we didn't have a more important mission for
Cozy_Canadian: @LoadingReadyRun I for one am shocked, SHOCKED that such a thing would happen! Well not that shocked.
e_bloc: oddly, the empire provides very generous mental health benefits
LoadingReadyRun: @TheGhostOfZero the ties are very maneuverable
Lobo_Apache: if you successfully help the defectors, can you "buy" the tie defender?
hyralt: @tdapenguin Exactly
e_bloc: jk its probably like WWII where everyone was doped up on amphetamines
Cozy_Canadian: But yeah, as I understand it, TIE fighters were "we don't care enough about you to even include basic environment/life protection so you're gonna wear a pressurized suit"
kusinohki: are "uglies" an option in this game? a mix/match of various starship parts??
Cozy_Canadian: Life support? Is that the proper terminology?
Shadowsoflife: yea

Lobo_Apache: Oh! Thank you @hyralt
hyralt:
@Lobo_Apache You're welcome! 
tdapenguin: @kusinohki I don't think so, but anyone who knows better than me should pipe up , pls
adept_nekomancer:
I mean, technically Cori made physical contact with it two turns ago. 
margieargie: Awwww, I was hoping the defector would have the cool color scheme
e_bloc: what if you ask them to defect but like really nicely
HorusFive: @margieargie He's trying to keep a low profile
margieargie: These dice are strong in the Dark Side
kusinohki: cam needs a "gunner upgrade" which replaces the attack dice with different dice with better odds to hit...
TheGhostOfZero: I feel really bad for Cam losing all these coin flips
SquareDotCube: I really do think these dice might belong in dice jail, even if they're the ones that came with the game
TheGhostOfZero: the dice need a salt clense and sage brush
Bearudite: this game reminds me of that pirates of the spanish main card game lol
LoadingReadyRun:
Cam's dice were pretty hot during Killteam yesterday, I guess this is the karma payment 
adept_nekomancer: Keep your butt safe!
TheGhostOfZero: @LoadingReadyRun d6s are sly like that
e_bloc: perhaps he should launder his karma
margieargie: Pulling that sweet drift
adept_nekomancer: Yay! An exp for Cori!
kusinohki: I always assumed the tie defender cost more, but not that much more. (surprisingly haven't heard this)
I_Am_Clockwork: turns out making a hyperdrive and sheild generator that small, coupld with the powerplant to run them, AND all of the guns AND a superior sub-light engine means the thing cost a lot, haha
Lobo_Apache: From what I remember, the defender was so expensive that even "two-deathstar" emperor said no
I_Am_Clockwork: The Tie Defender is what happens when you provide the Brass with a list of possible features, and rather than picking the top one or two they just put a check mark to all of them.
kusinohki: at least cut out the tractor beam. that thing was so useless....
tdapenguin: @i_am_clockwork -- wait, not just more than the complement of normal ties, but also more than the carrier as well?
TheGhostOfZero: cam reaches out of the cockpit and slaps that guy on the way past
I_Am_Clockwork: OH RIGHT I forgot the Defender came with a mini tractor beam
I_Am_Clockwork: because OF COURSE
tdapenguin: @TheGhostOfZero Tag, you're it!
Cozy_Canadian: Honestly I'm a little surprised they said no to the Defender, if for no other reason than to have a niche elite squadron for VIPs or vital defense
adept_nekomancer: Now I'm imagining the TIE fighter making that "beep! beep! beep!" that reversing semi trucks make
Lobo_Apache: @I_Am_Clockwork that one actually made the most sense. It was made to hunt down rebels so a tractor beam could stop them from jumping to hyperspace and would make the kill easier
LoadingReadyRun: @I_Am_Clockwork wouldn't a small ship with a tractor beam just pull itself towards the target?
I_Am_Clockwork: oh it makes operational sense, up to a point, but, again, up until then Tractor beams were considered waaaay to eneergy intensive to stick on a fighter-sized craft
tdapenguin: @LoadingReadyRun Maybe physics was different a long time ago ?
kusinohki: it was meant to be used on other small ships. reduce their mobility type thing.
I_Am_Clockwork: @LoadingReadyRun it was designed to tractor other fighters about it's same size
e_bloc: but what if you just have a conga line of ships tractoring each other, like the peasant railgun
I_Am_Clockwork: to help capture or trap reble starfighters, mostly
e_bloc: take them off the board, yes
TheGhostOfZero: first blood!
HorusFive: Right in his 2
foopoiuyt: This game seems balanced to assume people will roll hits.
I_Am_Clockwork: look all I'm sayin' is that Admiral Zarin (or GA Thrawn in the modern lore) was smokin some real fine shiz when they thought up this boondogle XD
kusinohki: in the game, i just found it easier to turn the beam off, use the energy for speed and weapon charging, and shoot better.
I_Am_Clockwork: yeah, in OG Tie-Fighter the Tractor was useful for maybe a couple of missions where you needed to slow down an escaping transport or something
TheGhostOfZero: @foopoiuyt yeah, or at least that the opponent wouldn't constantly dodge
tdapenguin: @I_Am_Clockwork I'm not disagreeing! (But I woulda thought better of thrawn....)
HorusFive: Performative shooting you in the back
TheGhostOfZero: just a little tickle
e_bloc: we are all formed of clay
HorusFive:
"Please stop shooting us. We are little babi" 
tdapenguin: @I_Am_Clockwork Wait a tick, I thought Disney's Lore didn't include thrawn?
Bearudite: kegalgram 😳
Lobo_Apache: @tdapenguin he came back in with the last few seasons of Star Wars Rebels
RealGamerCow: @tdapenguin I misread that as "Disney's Lore didn't include Taiwan" and said "Probably."
tdapenguin: @Lobo_Apache Ah, thanks. I didn't follow rebels, so that explains that
kusinohki: somehow thrawn returned (couldn't resisit)
Cozy_Canadian: @Lobo_Apache Without spoilers, did squids happen?
tdapenguin:
@RealGamerCow 
LoadingReadyRun: thrawn is also in the Ahsoka series
TheGhostOfZero: @kusinohki ah, so he was in a fortnite crossover event
Cozy_Canadian: I've been meaning to watch more of the animated shows, specifically Clone Wars and Rebels
I_Am_Clockwork: Timathy Zhan's wrote a "new" (now several years old) series of Thrawn books set in the pre-new-hope, pre Rebels TV show era that are pretty good
kusinohki: thrawn was pretty good in rebels. didn't really feel like thrawn in ahsoka (just my opinion)
I_Am_Clockwork: also a companion series set before he left Chis space
Lobo_Apache: @Cozy_Canadian Yes, Squids happened
tdapenguin: @LoadingReadyRun I am learning many things today. Especially that many folks think thrawn is a fun character to have in your story/verse
kusinohki: GLURP!
tdapenguin: @i_am_clockwork ... updating my gift ideas for friends list right now.
Lobo_Apache: Thrawn is in incredible antagonist who shows just how strong and dangerous the Empire could be, but wasn't allowed to until way to late
Lobo_Apache: Thinking of Thrawn, now I really wanna play Empire At War....
I_Am_Clockwork: Thrawn is one of those bad-guys that can be super satisfying to have in a story when he's written well, but is also easy to stumble into the Tell Don't Show trap of SAYING he's a military genius while not actually doing anything clever. But that's not unique problem to him, haha.
Cptasparagus: Japoutine?
e_bloc: natchos
wedge_x: bleu potatoes
Shadowsoflife: NOoooooo
Lobo_Apache: @I_Am_Clockwork That's an incredibly fair point, he (like most antagonists) are very writer based
LoadingReadyRun: ya Thrawn in Ahsoka did not act like a "tactical genius"
I_Am_Clockwork: @Lobo_Apache He's also very tone dependent. Its harder to carry off a truly threatening antagonist if you are in a story that has a super lighthearted tone.
meddlingmage_: i love thrawn in heir to the empire
e_bloc: we're like the anti-dave matthews band
Shadowsoflife: ?
Cptasparagus: they do pay the bills
Shadowsoflife:

RealGamerCow: homunculus?
e_bloc: it was eventually determined that chat was a mistake
HorusFive: We are a mental slurry
I_Am_Clockwork: yeah, writing a Strategic Genius is hard,even with the powers of the author, if you yourself are not a stratigic genious, haha
adept_nekomancer: We're a hivemind that can't agree with itself.
tdapenguin: @e_bloc Lol
TheGhostOfZero: ch'at
I_Am_Clockwork: so some smoke and mirirs will always be necisarry
wedge_x: we considered ourselves a powerful culture
Lobo_Apache: @I_Am_Clockwork I would say that Rebels did a pretty good (not the best, but pretty good) job with Thrawn. Even if it was more lighthearted show as a whole
Athelgar: If Thrawn is watching this, praise be our LRR based planetary governemnt?
I_Am_Clockwork: I need to rewatch rebels
loufghyslaufey: Pffft
Shadowsoflife: @adept_nekomancer Yes we can

tdapenguin: @Shadowsoflife But probably only sometime
HorusFive: Showing you their butts.
Shadowsoflife: @tdapenguin Yeah
I_Am_Clockwork: ass based intimidation
Shadowsoflife: it's moon powered
kusinohki: sliders only come from burger king in a parrallel universe...
adept_nekomancer: Can you pilot an asteroid?
I_Am_Clockwork: @Shadowsoflife spectacular
Lobo_Apache: wtf is routine?
Shadowsoflife: @I_Am_Clockwork hehe
I_Am_Clockwork: I'm not putting of Routine to be here, I'm putting of Mecharrior's new DLC to be here
KWardJenx: But this is my routine...
letsbelgo: 2 spooky 5 me
I_Am_Clockwork: There Is!
I_Am_Clockwork: From Clan Wolf's POV
I_Am_Clockwork: it was everyone
LoadingReadyRun:
Thrawn also has the Borg problem (or any other "big bad"). As the bad guy, he has to lose eventually, so if he shows up too often he loses so much that any scary aspect is lost 
I_Am_Clockwork: well, all the Invading Clans
I_Am_Clockwork: (Cam has engaged me on Battletech Lore, I have become ractivated)
KWardJenx: Tukkayid was all the invading clans
kusinohki: of course I'm here. where else can I geek out with obscure star wars extended lore and not get chased off with pitchforks and fires...
loufghyslaufey: Adam chose to spin wheels for an entire stream, but thats just partially how I turned up more often.
tdapenguin: @LoadingReadyRun Excellent point
HorusFive: "Maybe wait until I'm behind them instead of the other way" -That defector probably
Shadowsoflife: @kusinohki Ian's home stream?
kusinohki: I'm usually busy fri nights and miss ian's streams...
Shadowsoflife: Fair
HorusFive: Have we proven that both of Cam's dice HAVE success faces?
e_bloc: comedy is really just tragedy plus time. in this case, not that much time
Lobo_Apache: @HorusFive Cam has killed at least 1 Tiefighter this mission, so we have confirmed that at least
I_Am_Clockwork: their sole purpose, that noise
kusinohki: are we sure cam is a rebel and not a deep cover imperial??
bosku: woah. X-Wing!!
adept_nekomancer: pew pew pew!
bosku: Is this using 2nd edition?
I_Am_Clockwork: I think its the 2.5 rules
Dragoonspirits86: does defector defender shoot enemy defender now?
I_Am_Clockwork: that reminds me, I need to check out the new comunity-written 3.0 rules that were released recently
tdapenguin: @kusinohki Never assume malice what could be just dice sucking really badly, I think that's how that saying goes?
Dragoonspirits86: oh, defector does no combat at all anymore?
LoadingReadyRun: @I_Am_Clockwork really? interesting!
Dragoonspirits86: controlled by players? why didnt it shoot that turn then, at the other defender?
adept_nekomancer: So an average of 2 rounds, but a max of 3
bosku: Is Ian using a digital dial for the NPCs? Oohh
bosku: Almost makes me miss the TIE Phantoms having cloaking actions
TheGhostOfZero: "not touching you, can't get mad"
bosku: That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not "eyeball it!
foopoiuyt: More rulebooks should have shrug emojis.
bosku: astroid mining is a good job to pick up after dogfightinh
Cptasparagus: one piece fans also yearn for the rocks
adept_nekomancer: He wants to return for his natural habitat. The nearest asteroid.
Shadowsoflife: It was in the space dock
bosku: It was one of the first things you see in the Citadel. Nearly right after debarking the ship
Shadowsoflife: ^
TheGhostOfZero: you get out of your space cab and there's just these three idiots getting yelled at by their CO
Lobo_Apache: @TheGhostOfZero that's just an average day near a military base
Shadowsoflife: before you are called dead, cause you know
TheGhostOfZero: @Lobo_Apache true, but you're at like space customs and immigration
bosku: Do we know how many missions this Heros of the Aturi Cluster game has gone?
LoadingReadyRun: this is mission 8
tdapenguin: @TheGhostOfZero Look, sometimes there's yelling that needs to happen. ,(I guess?)
e_bloc: I mean on a cosmic scale
bosku: Defender Joust Champ
Shadowsoflife: @tdapenguin I mean technically you're outside of the station security
adept_nekomancer: Hey, everybody successfully got within range 1 of the defector!
Dragoonspirits86: 3/3/3/3 with an amazing dial, is about the best statline ive seen in this game so far
TheGhostOfZero: @Shadowsoflife c-sec isn't strictly military, it's more like citadel's police
Shadowsoflife: @TheGhostOfZero Yeah
bosku: @Dragoonspirits86 arn't the tight turns and easy moves still a bit lacking?
TheGhostOfZero: @Shadowsoflife whereas the other guys with their softball-sized railgun slug that they keep on hand for reasons were definitely alliance navy
bosku: Oh, and also decent upgrade slots
Dragoonspirits86: there was NO red on it anywhere, and they do the 4flip as white.
Dragoonspirits86: and a free action when they move at speed
bosku: Why I remember the 1st ed Jousting with em. Just back and forth flips
Shadowsoflife: @TheGhostOfZero You are showing up with like three different guns on.
TheGhostOfZero: @Shadowsoflife yeah, but you're also Shepard
Shadowsoflife: @TheGhostOfZero Fair
adept_nekomancer: "You've turned off your targeting sensors." "Yeah, they're on fire."
Dragoonspirits86: ah, my bad, i see the low speed tight turns are red, not what i recall but its been awhile. thats fine youre zooming with them most the time anyway

bosku: I don't know, Fly Casual
Lobo_Apache: now now, 4 misses and a reroll
Dragoonspirits86: didnt cameron lock onto 2 things?
TheAinMAP: Just giving them a push to go faster.
margieargie: I guess being Wedged is a good thing for a Rebel pilot?
Territan: Yeeeah, this might sting a little...
bosku: Make the jump
Lobo_Apache: leaving is for cowards and defectors
e_bloc: my father always told me, never start a fight, but always finish onec
Dragoonspirits86: shouldnt ian just leave at this point lol
Dragoonspirits86: is map edge safe exit, or only hyper
e_bloc: its last call
darkcyril: You might call it the Edge of the Empire.
wholsometiger: I laughed
bosku: @darkcyril NICE
Lobo_Apache: I'm still mad that the coolest shit in star wars (the Holdo Maneuver) was shit on for so long
TheGhostOfZero: the cinema going absolutely dead silent for that sticks with me
TheAinMAP:

e_bloc: bizzardo hoth
Lobo_Apache: OH for the Last Jedi. Honestly, that one was so cool
Omnipotrevor: I just couldn't get over the bad pacing, and the terrible characterization for basically anyone who wasn't Rey or Kylo.
LoadingReadyRun:
The whole casino plotline being pointless bugged me
e_bloc: cam blue his ship
Omnipotrevor: What I'm sad didn't get a fair shot was the Acolyte.
Lobo_Apache: @LoadingReadyRun Agreed, the weird "saving the horses" and the casino in general felt... like a subplot that didn't go anywhere
Dragoonspirits86: so is he once again in the position of staring down a scenario end death if he throws a no hit brick again?
bosku: Was nice to revisit Canto Bight in SW Outlaws
TheGhostOfZero: I liked the bit about rey's parents being random nobodies who weren't special. and the theme coming back at the end with those children doing force stuff
TheGhostOfZero: you don't have to be one of the 4 people around whom the universe seemingly revolves in order to be special
bosku: yay not being blasted
Lobo_Apache: @TheGhostOfZero Never forget that Shemi is actually a decendant of Bastilla Shan and Revan from Kotor
Dragoonspirits86: i wanna see ian driving a Tie/D lol
TheGhostOfZero: @Lobo_Apache god, it's like how James Bond and Doctor Who became about James Bond and Doctor Who, instead of being about other stuff that they happen to be involved in
bosku:

DiscordianTokkan: I'm a brain in a jar!
