00:21 muurkha 0bin is a zero-knowledge pastebin, Yad, the decryption key is after the #
00:22 muurkha so the server doesn't have access to the plaintext or the key
00:22 muurkha it's a good idea but sometimes I have had trouble with its JS in, for example, old browsers
00:28 cfnblx Who are you guys talking to?
00:36 fluxionary Yad: oh, it's another position vector. you should store the result of vector.offset in a variable, and probably use `minetest.pos_to_string()` instead of formatting it yourself
00:37 fluxionary muurkha yeah took me a moment to understand i was looking at some sort of salted hash

00:55 fluxionary on a different topic, has anyone proposed adding a paramtype2 for mesh/nodebox variants? you could cram 8 (bitmasking) or 10 (arithmetic) of them in there w/ a facedir. that'd seriously help w/ the nodecount for stairsplus etc.

15:26 MTDiscord <jeremy.weston> So just to clarify, Mese is an old block in Minetest, from my understand it's just a weird Finnish thing to say and i think it sounds like MSN messenger or something? I don't really get the whole Finnish meme, thing. As for Mese in game, most people understood it as a Redstone or an energy source alien-like block due to the great mesecons mod. So when committing to a game name, after some time, MeseCraft eventually clicked well and
15:26 MTDiscord sounded like an excellent name: it was fun, mysterious, and interesting name to and had instant familiarity with the existing Minetest community and players. Also, Mese would be a good focus of a title and game because of its mystery.  I would say the name is meant to fit in with the other Craft named game themes: WARcraft, STARcraft, MINEcraft, MESEcraft.

15:47 muurkha good thing Blizzard didn't sue noch
15:47 muurkha *notch
15:47 Blockhead256[m] pfft as if you can sue for a suffix like -craft
15:48 muurkha Bethesda did sue Mojang for trying to publish a game called "Scrolls"
15:49 muurkha because they had a game called "Elder Scrolls"
15:49 muurkha in the US the standard for trademark lawsuits is pretty low, likelihood of confusion by a distracted idiot
15:49 Blockhead256[m] I thought you would mention that. I don't think it's that relevant
15:49 muurkha sorry, "a moron in a hurry" is the actual standard
15:50 muurkha and that's the UK standard; the US standard is similar but not exactly the same
15:51 Blockhead256[m] and not even a moron in a hurry is going to confuse an RTS with a block game
15:52 rubenwardy looks at Conquer

16:00 muurkha not after they start playing it, no, but that's precisely the situation trademark law is designed to prevent: the moron in a hurry buys a Nonsanto bug killer, and after opening the box, realizes that it's two pieces of wood and instructions to squish the bugs between them

18:06 MTDiscord <jeremy.weston> I really like that he challenged them for the name via a Quake 3/Live match. I wish they went for it!
18:12 MTDiscord <MNH48> do note that people on IRC side would not know the context because they don't see "replies" on their side, do a quote when replying
18:13 MTDiscord <jeremy.weston> Noted. Can they see your anime girl avatar though?
18:13 Eze14Mu MTDiscord how I use /msg ChanServ REGISTER #minetast that says I'm not logged
18:15 MTDiscord <MNH48> IRC is text-only, they don't see any kind of "profile" there also that's representation of myself, not an "anime girl"
