10:34:12 <LordAro> This is a bridge between discord and IRC, because TrueBrain decided we needed some enforced socialising 10:34:32 <LordAro> does the discord channel not have an appropriate topic or whatever? 10:34:54 <LordAro> JustANortherner: I also know how the internet works, and I'm pretty confident it's mostly just magic 10:35:04 <LordAro> combined with some optimisim 10:36:15 <JustANortherner> It does say here that "This channel provides a Bridge to a relic of the past" tbf... 10:36:29 <LordAro> well that's just rude 10:36:32 <JustANortherner> But that requires reading, and why do that when you can just type! 10:36:40 <TrueBrain> LordAro: You expect people to actually read topics? :p 10:37:02 <TrueBrain> Owh, JustANortherner already said that 10:39:00 <glx[d]> LordAro: The main reason was matrix being not reliable after netsplits 10:39:34 <LordAro> yeah, but a solution to that would've been to run your own matrix server 10:39:40 <LordAro> not this :p 10:40:08 <TheDumGamer> Well that’s what happens when you don’t breach the mainframe intime 10:41:26 <TrueBrain> LordAro: you liked the quietness of the channel better? 10:41:41 <LordAro> jury's still out 10:41:43 <LordAro> :p 10:41:47 <TrueBrain> haha 10:41:56 <TrueBrain> all this talking to people .. it is scary, I know 10:43:15 <TallTyler> I like this channel because Discord does asynchronous message archives much better, and I’m not usually awake in European Time 10:45:06 <TallTyler> I’m happy to see that @Timberwolf is still around somewhere, besides making videos about old games on YouTube 🙂 10:47:37 <FLHerne> andythenorth: Is there a reason for the sudden explosion in model train manufacturers? 10:48:11 <FLHerne> when I last did model trains it was basically Hornby or Bachmann, and Heljan did a couple of diesels 10:48:32 <FLHerne> picked up Model Rail recently and there seem to be about half-a-dozen manufacturers with significant ranges 10:48:47 <FLHerne> I guess modern scanning/CAD/3D-printing helps 10:49:47 <andythenorth> there are a number of factors 10:50:05 <glx[d]> There's one little difference when following both IRC and this channel, discord users may show another name on irc 10:50:46 <andythenorth> Accurascale are able to grow fast (I believe) because Stephen cashed out on an Irish hosting business, and has capital 10:51:08 <andythenorth> the rest have much smaller ranges and are broadly working on crowd-funding / pre-order 10:51:19 <andythenorth> Rapido UK is an offshoot of North American Rapido 10:52:32 <andythenorth> Revolution, Cavalex, KR Models, Footplate, SLW are all small ranges, lot of pre-orders 10:52:43 <andythenorth> Dapol is still around 10:54:59 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd 10:56:31 <andythenorth> Supply side is driven by availability of contract manufacturing in China, although this is under pressure for all the obvious reasons currently 10:56:48 <andythenorth> Labour, shipping, materials, covid, high demand 10:57:16 <andythenorth> Also supply side - widespread CAD, and digital sales channels 10:58:31 <andythenorth> Demand side is driven by (1) an absolute shitload of baby boomers with a lot of disposable income who can buy £50 wagons or £300 engines 10:59:13 <andythenorth> (2) people like me a bit younger who can afford this stuff due to high salaries in digital etc 10:59:20 <Wolf01> Looks like lego 10:59:32 <TallTyler> I can buy a lot of Iron Horse wagons, so I don’t need model trains anymore 😛 10:59:40 <andythenorth> Cheap train set 11:00:10 <TallTyler> I’m very well-off but only in OpenTTD currency 11:01:51 <peter1138> Oh is it food time. 11:02:01 <TallTyler> glx[d]: I imagine IRC doesn’t like my username starting with a number…wonder how TrueBrain decided to solve that 😛 11:02:42 <peter1138> Maybe it's Lego time. 11:03:00 <peter1138> I have a set here I haven't opened yet, because the sound of an unopened box is the best thing. 11:03:11 <TallTyler> Lunchtime Legos? 11:03:16 <JustANortherner> 2 = Two 11:03:24 <JustANortherner> Simple fix no? 11:03:56 <TallTyler> (Assuming it’s lunch, I’m currently eating breakfast at 5 and wishing I were still asleep) 11:04:05 <Wolf01> In this case is more suitable "too" 11:04:49 <TrueBrain> TallTyler: I just remove any number at the beginning, no worries 😄 11:05:21 *** virtualrandomnumber has joined #openttd 11:05:35 <Wolf01> So... another boring afternoon begins 11:05:38 *** virtualrandomnumber has quit IRC 11:07:16 <JustANortherner> Get yourself some excitement 11:07:19 <TallTyler> Come to Colorado and help me dump ballast 🙂 11:07:39 <TallTyler> Last time I did this we derailed the engine twice 11:07:43 <JustANortherner> Can you come to the UK and fix some points for me instead? 11:08:13 <Wolf01> What about you all come to Italy and do something interesting? 11:08:23 <TallTyler> I would love to actually 11:09:11 <LordAro> Come to the UK and write perl for me 11:09:20 <LordAro> actually no, i don't hate any of you that much 11:15:02 <peter1138> Woop, salad :D 11:16:02 <Wolf01> <JustANortherner> Get yourself some excitement <- I have like 12 games to play which I delayed...
