RandomTrivia: That sounds amazing
Gedderone: Dammit good poi t
DaxStrife: "Deep in the tank" is a good band name.
LurkerSpine: Oh I wonder what the music differences are for this game in streamer mode
duckace11: Youtube archologists. because they watch after the fact.
mowdownjoe: @gedderone Adam and his chat kind of have the claim to that.
SquareDotCube: the ability to SAY NO
SquareDotCube: just that in itself
HoloTheWiseWolf_: my phone shuts down to the bare minimum an hour befor bed
HoloTheWiseWolf_: and goes into greyscale
Gedderone: Heather can you just call YouTube commenters the blob?
Invitare: I thought this was Heather's House of Lies, not Rhythm Cafe
Lithobraker: Weeeee! Scottish lady time
constablecrab: I had to figure out how to tell Siri not to pause the stream every time anyone says a word that starts with “si-“
Invitare: I'm disappointed
duckace11: it's both Invitare
BlackIsis: I've heard good things
NightValien28: this game is dumb and SOOOO GOOD
mowdownjoe: HIFI RUSH! I loved this game so much.
Greyah: This game is spectacular.
Invitare: Are you going to use Streamer Mode or let the VOD get nuked?
NarwhalsInATrenchcoat: This game is sweet
BrowneePoints: THIS GAME SLAPS WHOLE ASS!
constablecrab: I’ve avoided knowing anything about this game until today.
DaxStrife: Nice to see LRR's Steam home is, like mine, telling them to play Witcher 3.
CururuGuasu: Isn’t it Mega-Man’s dog?
mowdownjoe: Oh, so this is House of Lies.
RandomTrivia: Oh, it's the same auditory phenomenon as a joke whooshing over a person's head
RandomTrivia:
BrowneePoints: Hi Ri Rush is Megaman's Dog on Weed
BrowneePoints: Fi*
LurkerSpine: Ah, already in the Rhythm Cafe Lie Zone
Lithobraker: The main character in this game is such a dumb dork, I love him

constablecrab: I think maybe in the movie?
RandomTrivia: @constablecrab Frankie and Benjy
constablecrab: Yes
Izandai: I have also seen some amount of The Proud Family. But not in many many years.
kusinohki: can I suggest Pinky and Brain for the mice??
djalternative: oh. The Proud Family was good from what I remember
duckace11: ah yes the idiot father trope
Sarah_Serinde: Probably also tropes
Earthenone: speaking of sereo types, Hi Fi
RandomTrivia: This start screen has strong vibes of a well-organised Satisfactory world
BrowneePoints: There is streamer mode for the audio as well
Izandai: In fairness, that was a direct backlash against a looooong time where TV families always had the dad as the competent leader of the family who can do no wrong and always solves everyone's problems. The overcorrection is still dumb though.
ashteranic: the Streamer music is decent.
BrowneePoints: The in house band does Sugar Free riffs on the licensed stuff
djalternative: I will say, you probably want to play this game off stream too because it has fully licensed music in the non-streamer mode
Izandai: Yeah the alt tracks for streamer mode are also good. Some are arguably better than the licensed tracks.
computercolinx: Yea there's some major label music in here
gualdhar: playing a rhythm game with the music getting muted defeats the purpose of a rhythm game
RandomTrivia: If it means we get to hear an original soundtrack, sign me up
Invitare: Bethesda are Microsoft now
djalternative: @LoadingReadyRun non-streamer mode has The Black Keys and more while streamer mode has a fully original soundtrack
BrowneePoints: The streamer ost is good and a "oh it's just this song"
thatguy575: Unique ost for steamer mode
Earthenone: where is the call panther button then?
PMAvers: A bunch of things you won't have access to at the start of the game.
RandomTrivia: @Earthenone I don't know what the Wakandan international dialling code is
mowdownjoe: @djalternative Yep, and the bosses have some very good synchronicity with their themes. Feels like you lose that in streamer mode. On the plus side, no need to put up content warnings because there's a Nine Inch Nails song
gehennam_reborn: Ok, I kinda wanna not be spoiled on this game in case I wanna play it, but I also have been waiting to see you guys play it so I can tell if I will want play it for myself.
kusinohki: vibranium absorbs all sound, so phone calls to wakanda never connect...
djalternative: @mowdownjoe they have made some VERY good sound alikes though
gehennam_reborn: So, I'm kinda in a weird spot between the two
BrowneePoints: So the opening song is supposed to be Lonely Boy by the Black Keys
BrowneePoints: If you can hear it
gibbousm: that is a lot of undeserved swagger
computercolinx: Cutscenes are animated by titmousd
djalternative: oh yeah. The original songs are fun because they're sound alikes to the licensed music. See if you can tell what the licensed song is
laundreydhull: Wait, which one?
Strebenherz: Lu-Cille is so done
Greyah: The animation is absolutely stellar. Every cutscene feels like the animators were just flexing for fun.

TehAmelie: better watch out for Kirby
mtvcdm: Ready, set, almost time to go
laundreydhull: Is the accurate terminology "autonomous grafting"?
computercolinx: For him? Robbie daymond iirc
Izandai: @kusinohki Akechi in Persona 5 and Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon Crystal.
laundreydhull: How does he not bruise his bare feet?
RandomTrivia: These ones were both called Carrie i think
HoloTheWiseWolf_: we made our robots scentient s they can feel the same crushing dispare as our fleshy employees

kersmushh: @SaxPython can't be bionic commando; no dead wife in his arm 😉
emonotony: Does the writing get less quippy?
HoloTheWiseWolf_: do we just go into our own brain
laundreydhull: He's in over his ego here, maybe.
SaxPython:
RandomTrivia: Oh my god the diegetic tutorial I am 1000% here for this

NightValien28: this game overflows with charm
RandomTrivia: The fingersnap too
mtvcdm: There is so much freaking style going on.
Invitare: this sold really well

RandomTrivia: Even the little "SNAP" comic panel-style effect
mowdownjoe: And all the animations sync to the beat. So good.
RealGamerCow: Badum-bum BUM
kersmushh: @emonotony kinda? part of chai's character is that he's trying VERY VERY HARD to be cool, so it's legitimately in-character for him to come off as a bit of a twerp
SaxPython: 2s and 4s baby
Greyah: I'm not great at rhythm games, and decent at action games. But the just timing mechanic has forced me to actually pay attention to how I play, and seeing significant improvements throughout levels has felt amazing.
Riandisa: As soon as I learned that this game was made by ppl that worked on Viewtiful Joe, everything made sense
SkylerRingtail: Gods, what a gorgeous game
BrowneePoints: @emonotony It comes off endearing
mtvcdm: Yep

SkylerRingtail: "Saber," based on the weapon perhaps?
HoloTheWiseWolf_: its a good thing we keep an amount of metal detritus nearby
laundreydhull: "....so he's an idiot?" -Rhodey. "Yeah." -Nebula
computercolinx: He gains a braincell in a [REDACTED]
emonotony: BrowneePoints Maybe it comes off that way to you, I don't like it.
BrowneePoints: Oh yea the visuals are like early 2000s action game meets 60s/early70s comics in the BEST way
RandomTrivia: Holy moly getting the paces to line up with the beat EVEN IN A STAIRS ANIMATION

TehAmelie: i want to paint abs on my fridge now
nickthecatbear: *blush deepens*
James_the_Dabbler: Um
BrowneePoints: The over the top humor works well for the style of the game
Alness49: This is less that the fridge is monitoring to a distopian level, it's just that Chai is that much of an open book

RandomTrivia: Just from watching it looks like the combat *feels* amazing
HoloTheWiseWolf_: @kersmushh im starting to get the idea

duckace11: now I want the LRR awards. where each show gives out there own GOTY
gideon_not_graves: This might top Patapon for my favorite rhythm (Based) game
BrowneePoints: Fun fact!
djalternative: I'm a little disappointed that this wasn't marketed
Dog_of_Myth: I watched a few other streamers play this and they LOVED it
Greyah: There's a good chance this game will be the most enjoyable thing I'll play all year. Which isn't a bad thing. It's just that much fun.
RandomTrivia: That said, it *did* show up in Steam's "new stuff" popup

QuietJay: so the defect is going to escape through QA
computercolinx: At least try to esxapdt
Lithobraker: Oof, qa center having the busted sign is a bit on the nose
SkylerRingtail: If the software industry has taught me anything, there's *definitely* an alternate path to reach Prod directly

adept_nekomancer: Clearly everything she does is important at all times.
Greyah: Nah. REKKA doesn't believe in small letters.
BrowneePoints: AH okay for Ian and Heather I found the Quote
BrowneePoints: "The lead game designer of Hi-Fi Rush is Masaaki Yamada, he worked on Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, Vanquish and The Evil Within. "
laundreydhull: Why does Rekka exclaim herself in the 3rd person?
SaxPython: What's the Borderland guy's name. Mr. Torgue? Do we ship him with Rekka?
azninsect: oh, capitalism levelled up
CururuGuasu: Lousy Smarch weather
BrowneePoints: SUCH good game design
adept_nekomancer: I only just got here, so maybe this has been commented on already, but the rooftop environments here are giving me some strong Mirror's Edge vibes.
Greyah: Literally everything, and that's not an overstatement, *literally everything* in this game moves to the music, and most sound effects as well. It's magical.
laundreydhull: Mirror Edge, Sunset Overdrive, much much Cyberpunks
mowdownjoe: Skipping him the first time then trying to talk to him the second time is hilarious.
NightValien28: would be if souls game had a beat
Invitare: Baby's first Souls game is Kirby
PMAvers: Nah, attacks are way too telegraphed to be a Souls game.
PMAvers: *well telegraphed
gideon_not_graves:
HOW COULD YOU STOP SMIDGE 
Chaser617: @LoadingReadyRun I'm just glad that they included difficulty levels honestly
Invitare: And make it double
BrowneePoints: And I cannot stress how much of a pain in the ASS animation wise it to sync up EVERYTHING to the music without missing frames or beats like that
mowdownjoe: Oh, that's where that is.
shurtal: with a capital V and that rhymes with P and taht stands for POOOOOOOOOOOL
TehAmelie: ironically i don't see any. . .straight roads

Izandai: In
Izandai: Ian
SaxPython: we Crash Bandicoot now
HoloTheWiseWolf_: ok chat what do you think. is our friend vandeleys daughter
Greyah: I love how they make fun of Chai's name.
RandomTrivia: Ok I need to point out the dialogue not resetting when you fall and respawn. That is the best thing in existence
Izandai: There ya go
satyropodobny: If I had a nickel for every time there was a game with a perverted fridge aiding the protagonist I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?
Boopity: I do like how quick and painless the cut after falling off is
Izandai:
djalternative: sure but it's rhythm platforming
Greyah: I always feel bad when I accidentally hit the SCR-UBs. Even though I know they drop loot.
HoloTheWiseWolf_: if this turns into a bullet hell then we can call yoko taro
kersmushh: if they didn't want to get hit, @Greyah , they wouldn't be full of tasty candy
RandomTrivia: HAHAHAHAHAHA
kersmushh: simple math
emonotony: Who is this sassing, I wonder
PMAvers: Zanzo is basically a person after Ian's heart. Safety Third.
atlr: would love to try this game but microsoft store gamingservices on my PC has been borked since December. oh wait. if this is available on steam, i could get it
BrowneePoints: Mega-Man: Kill the Boss, wear the Boss

mtvcdm: Also you're about to die
kersmushh: nice
SaxPython:
@Boopity 
Greyah: @LeeshaJoy It's the same shape, but mostly just made of metal junk. I assume the sound comes from the fact that he's got <MUSICAL ROBOT POWERS>.
mtvcdm: Hey Siri, teach me how to use <special attacks>
BrowneePoints: LOL the anti-joke right there was brilliant
laundreydhull: No. Go away smidge.
Greyah: And that's why I grabbed Hibiki as soon as it became available.
laundreydhull:
Could fall into one of the trapdoors?
Cptasparagus: it would be cool if this game had an input overlay in the streamer mode so you could see his timing
BrowneePoints: Yea the super cheeky writing works SO well with the tone the game is setting
mtvcdm: It's about as serious as most Rhythm Cafe games honestly
PMAvers: I know they said Futurama was one of the big influences on it.
BrowneePoints: if it was more serious the writing would be migraine inducing
RandomTrivia:
This game seems about as serious as Taiko no Tatsujin Adventure Pack, so about right for Rhythm Cafe
HoloTheWiseWolf_: is this also feeling plesure
BusTed: make the box happy
Boopity:
Rhythm games generally work really well with cheesy writing because... turns out dancing to save the world isn't exactly the best vehicle for serious storytelling
Cptasparagus: why are you stimulating this chest in the chest
CururuGuasu: …vaguely erotic
NightValien28: dead
laundreydhull: Oh, crafting.
TheDailyMapleSyrup: chest fight

BlackIsis: 10,000 or 1,000,000?
Alex_Frostfire: He was waiting for the right part of the song, apparently.
gideon_not_graves: 1,000,000
BlackIsis:
Okay, that makes more sense 
laundreydhull: Oh, this a very 'Bandicoot' boss

Izandai: He's such an idiot.
BrowneePoints: Hey CDPR see how people with disabilities being oppressed by a corporate regime offering them transhumanism as a form of control are fighting back against the system?
laundreydhull: POSER. *COUGH*
computercolinx: That landed a little flat to me considering he had an arm in a sling
Salbastro: @kersmushh Necrodancer is a rhythm game sure, but its not really the same, for a number reasons
BrowneePoints: THAT'S HOW YOU DO CYBERPUNK

MAPBoardgames: Stomp box speaks my thoughts. [it] Vents the voices from the dark.
Greyah: Thanks to something you unlock later, I haven't felt it necessary to unlock a second Special slot at all.
PMAvers: That second slot is handy if, say, you have that healing Special.
Greyah: In no small part because I like spending all my reverb to Jam.
mtvcdm: Which are the ones with combos you might stumble into.

NightValien28: mtvcdm If I am not wrong it says hibiki
gualdhar: so what happens to 808's consciousness when Peppermint takes over?
BrowneePoints: It's Hibiki
NightValien28: which is also the guitar he uses I think

Greyah: You can also just bonk them, and they'll also say different stuff.
kersmushh:
no i mean you can hit them with the guitar
kersmushh: yeah, what @Greyah said
RandomTrivia: Wait, fridges? Is Chai just future Adam Jensen?
RandomTrivia:

RandomTrivia: Chekhov's Forklifts are all over the place
gideon_not_graves:
but we can't be forklift certified
HeirSquared: Dash also lets you keep your Style Meter up during moments when you can't hit enemies!
kersmushh: why would you need a forklift when you have a hookshot, though?
RandomTrivia: @gideon_not_graves I guarantee you that Chai has not thought about that
Bionull: Leads you to believe that we must find our father's killer?
gideon_not_graves: @kersmushh uhh is there a hookshot certification?

laundreydhull:
mtvcdm: Smidge, the magnet is not for cuddling
kersmushh: IT CAN BE THOUGH
BrowneePoints: Okay so that makes PERFECT Sense for why the music is so good Ian. The two lead composers worked on Monster Hunter(Reo Uratani) and Metal Gear Solid/Zone of the Enders! (Shuichi Kobori)
djalternative: money is a way to facilitate a large scale barter economy
gideon_not_graves: it's bonus
