Boopity: Oh, so that's where people keep getting their skins! I sure am behind the times
GapFiller:

TheMerricat:
Why no skin emote? 
Metric_Furlong: @GapFiller I'm not actually invested in whether people choose to watch checkpoint or not, tbh. I'm just riffing on an old bit
lord_wertornion: undulating skin like the sea
RockPusher: Beej, plz
iris_of_ether: BEEJ

ButButTheJesus: hey.
Drasvin: Skin Ocean? I think they've come across that in Watch and Play before
Driosenth: Beej, comprehending more man-made horrors than the average human
kusinohki: a skin of seas might be too salty...

Lazarus2511: well how many?

Marvoleath: I really hope Crisp Rat learned Japanese just to do the audio for that version too
Greyah: If you ask me, all movies should have subtitles. Even ones in your native language.
kusinohki: I live in Indiana. closest japenese version theaters is 8+ hrs away and requires a passport...
GapFiller: is that French French or Quebecois

TheSilverGekko: @Boopity yeah. japanese subs for the english audio

TheMerricat: "Speaking with Japanese outlet Nintendo Dream Web (translated by VGC), Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the script for The Super Mario Bros. Movie's Japanese release was worked on independently and is a little different to the movie's Western release. Instead of a direct translation like many of us would have assumed, parts of the script have been altered for its Japenese audience to get rid of any "awkward" parts that were catered towards Westerners."
Laserbeaks_Fury: If you haven't watched Super Mario Bros until you seen it performed in the original mushroom language.
TheMerricat: "“Since we were creating this movie in both Japan and the United States, we thought we should make a Japanese version as well,” explains Miyamoto. "So when we decided to make this movie, we discussed creating a unique Japanese script from the beginning. Even if we were shown an English script, it would be hard to understand the subtle nuances.""
Metric_Furlong: certain japanimations
RockPusher:
Animus!
beowuuf: RRR was like that, they were saying english at some points and the subtitles were different
Boopity: Interestingly enough Yakuza Like a Dragon has different subtitles for English/Japanese VO
BrowneePoints: They already said more Nintendo Movies are on the way
ButButTheJesus: Banana Slamma!
BrowneePoints: cuz of the success
Akaiatana: Ironic that Mario is another thing in the pipeline.
GapFiller: its a small world after all
kusinohki: I'm a sucker for liner notes, but it's really had to do those for movies and tv other than "special features on dvd/bluray"
Laserbeaks_Fury: All I know is the trailer with Peach running the training course and hearing the level end fanfare hit me in the feels
DoodlestheGreat: LA is Weeb Central for the US...
beowuuf: everywhere is vancouver, so that's fine
EvilBadman: high asian population I'd imagine, especially if not subtitles
keroan0: As someone who lives in Saskatchewan, I do not exist for any media purposes
Akaiatana: Ottawa is the midpoint of Montreal and Toronto and we never get events where they both could travel here.
vogon_poet: Those locations were chosen because they have the highest portion of Japanese-American populations. Their choices make sense when you consider this.
iris_of_ether: Yeah, Seattle's pretty spread out
asddsa28: im sad they did not go to DC
kusinohki: I'm surprised Chicago didn't get anything. it usually covers "all the midwest" *sigh*
BrowneePoints: Honolulu and San Fran have BIG japanese-american/immigrant populations
DoodlestheGreat: Not just Hollywood, like I said, Los Angeles is WEEB CENTRAL for the US.
GapFiller: doesnt Vancouver have a major Asian presence too? on top of the all the other reasons for the PNW
BrowneePoints: yea doesn't LA have a massive Little Japan district?
DoodlestheGreat: It do.
PixelArtDragon: I blame Risk
BrowneePoints: yea Mexico gets lumped into Latin America
GapFiller: Mexico is included in that one trade agreement too
Akaiatana: All of North America (except Mexico and Quebec)
Akaiatana: Quebec gets left out a lot for language reasons
SpoonfullOfSugar: Northern USA
TheMerricat: To be fair to Paul's teachers "The non-official United Nations geoscheme for the Americas defines Central America as all states of mainland North America south of the United States, hence grouping Mexico as part of Central America for statistics purposes, but historically Mexico is considered North America."
GapFiller: guessing country is big in Alberta from that tone
ButButTheJesus: same Heather
BrowneePoints: I dislike country music, but I stan Orville Peck
RockPusher: "My truck don't love me anymore…"
GapFiller: which makes sense given Alberta is apparently Canadas Texas/South
PixelArtDragon: What would happen if they go ahead with it anyway?
TheMerricat: They can't, in the UK at least.
Juliamon: They have a large percentage of a market that makes up 1% of the total market
falling_twilight: So do you think that Call of Duty was deliberately intended to be the distracting argument, and they're pissed that the CMA saw through the shell game?
GapFiller: falling_twilight always pay attention to what the other hand is doing yes
ButButTheJesus: boost that joose
Angreed66: I think sony wasn't in on it
TheMerricat: @falling_twilight I think it's more that Microsoft took advantage of Sony's fixation on COD to make it about COD, as has already been mentioned, it's not like cloud gaming is that big ATM
BrowneePoints: @TheMerricat Debate 101: You build your defense on the most likely attack point
Juliamon: It's a wedge. A weak point in the market.
Akaiatana: Clouds are low density, very large, and can precipitate dominance.
Juliamon: "Nu-uh
Juliamon: !"
Boopity:
These responses Every single time
DoodlestheGreat: Like I said in the comments of the video, it's the K in ABK that's the most important part. COD is a drop in the bucket compared to Candy Crush. Now add that to the cloud gaming concept and yeah, that' hos you get Windows.
saucemaster5000: sounds like a mob threat "nice economy there, real shame if anything happened to it"

TheMerricat: Little did we know today chat, but the console wars will be the impetus for a complete revamping and upgrade of the North American Electrical Grid to support to power draw....
RockPusher: Fortunately the market that invests in 240fps monitors for maximum shootymans twitchyness will never accept the lag remote gaming introduces
SpoonfullOfSugar: be trustable?
Angreed66: unless you can get entaglement to the masses there are some physical limits
saiarcot895: realistically, though, they're not going to keep these games available forever
TheMerricat: @RockPusher Yes but will that market exist forever or will the 'casual' gamer market normalize cloud playing enough that the 'twitchy' play has to accommodate that lag anyway and make it pointless?
RockPusher: The archive dot org collection isn't technically cloud gaming as we usually mean it - it is in-browser emulation running on the client
Boopity: That's the thing people that swear their life on physical often dislike about digital, it is very much fleeting

TheMerricat: @ButButTheJesus I honestly have never heard of it being called that either as someone cotempoary to Beej... for us the "Death Star" was the AT&T logo...

RockPusher: *One* Death Star is good. Multiple Death Stars are bad.
GapFiller:
yr wonder if semantic shift from Strategic Defence Initiative to Netflix is another of those golden age scifi idea evolutions
GapFiller: like how they went from thinking in 2000 everyone wd be on Mars to thinking in the 21st Century everyone is on Facebook
TheMerricat: So chat, for those wondering, I just looked it up. The "Death Star" concept that Beej is talking about was a Canadianism that the Canadian Cable companies were pushing in the 80's.

DeM0nFiRe: My fear is that Microsoft's end game is that buying a game doesn't exist, which also means selling a game doesn't exist, which means indie games now don't need to convince customers to buy their game, they need to convince Microsoft to allow them on their subscription for peanuts
EvilBadman: Physical consoles are a great point of entry for folks who don't want to screw around with pc building/maintenance, myself included
RockPusher: GapFiller with or without the optional horn and rainbows package?
GapFiller: RockPusher absolutely w/ the horn and rainbows plz
Lord_Hosk: The original X-box had a "official" PC emulator which they very much supported that played the disks because you were still buying the games and it didn't lose them money up front, but that didn't keep going.
GapFiller: and ideally wings too while we're at it
saiarcot895: @DeM0nFiRe Steam would at least still exist, right? Granted, this might give them an effective monopoly on people "owning" games

TheMerricat: @DeM0nFiRe At the end of the day, so long as my PC can run local executables, indie devs will have at least ONE platform to sell to.

Coloneljesus: business men working at the factory
BrowneePoints: Seeing yall do an improv panel at Midwest Fur Fest would be WILD
Duhstink: I wonder where Nintendo Live is gonna be (it can't really be same week as PAX right? Not sure where it would fit elsewhere)
Sarah_Serinde: Once Anime North shared a convention centre area with a conservative party convention
DoodlestheGreat: There was a furcon in Las Vegas tso weeks ago, and NAB was happening at the same time. There's an amusing confluence.
Coloneljesus: I think the wig is the determining factor
GapFiller: ofc nowadays many pro athletes are all giant weebs anyhway
EvilBadman: @Duhstink Prob later into Sept. Pax is the first weekend

gualdhar: it's 100% money laundering at this point, there's no way these prices are legit, even for whales

DoodlestheGreat: Yeah, it's both a meme and a truism: Furries make the Internets go.

GapFiller:
saucemaster5000 CS:GO skins def the nxt step on from sim cards as informal currency
Coloneljesus: @gualdhar dude have you MET people with too much money??
saiarcot895: @EvilBadman with far less of a climate impact than NFTs today
Juliamon: BrowneePoints One of them even ran a game hardware repair and mini-arcade in Pittsburgh for a few years
Boopity: Honestly that's a better reason than "people told me sticker expensive so it expensive"

matthaus_c: would placing a sticker on the vulva make it more or less valuable

BrindleBoar: nah, gotta get a gun with hallowed parts.
Lord_Hosk: I lost the mod banning admin power when James timed me out for "the worst pun i've ever seen"

matthaus_c: People Make Games have a very good in depth report on CS:GO skins trading
saiarcot895: @Juliamon pre-Clip mods?
TemporallyAwry: So I spent a few bucks on custom skins back when I was playing PayDay2 because you had to build custom-loudouts for your gear. And in that game it was VERY handy to have "blue means silence - red means Loud"

Lord_Hosk: Juliamon to my knowledge there is one mod who still has that admin power but I don't know if they know they have that power.
Coloneljesus: @saiarcot895 you know, uncut mods
Juliamon: saiarcot895 Before Twitch created the clip system, highlights had to be manually made by mods
Juliamon: Which required more perms
TheSilverGekko: we sure do live in a society
Boopity:
@Coloneljesus Thanks I hate it
saiarcot895:
@Coloneljesus
Juliamon: Lord_Hosk Bis knows he can
saiarcot895: @Juliamon huh, TIL
Earthenone: hence we got the addage "highlight? thats not right clip it to win it" during the transition
Sarah_Serinde: @Juliamon Those permissions aren't related, though, editor is a different thing. Mods being able to ban mods was before my time as a mod here, but I did highlights
Coloneljesus: gotta learn that deep twitch lore
ButButTheJesus: huh.
TemporallyAwry:
... omg, seriously!? wth
Coloneljesus: is the durability damage related to framerate too?
ANeMzero: That isn't how that works, they just generate either pristine or messed up
bytecaster: That is very Valve
ANeMzero: They don't change over time
saucemaster5000: someone programmed that. Took time out of their day. They got paid.
TemporallyAwry:
Your Pixels have worn out 
oh well.
Sarah_Serinde: Uh oh
gualdhar: oh no the babysitter left
Boopity: 👀
GapFiller: !picnic
LRRbot:
THERE IS NO NEED TO PANIC, IT'S FINE.
KeytarCat: We talk a lot about what is and isn't Capitalism, and the core idea of owning things to sell them is as close as we've gotten, I think
EvilBadman: dune chat?
Juliamon: Sarah_Serinde They're not related, *but* it gives a good baseline to explain how long someone has to have been a mod to have the deeper admin stuff
ButButTheJesus: !pancake
Drasvin: Chaos time?
Coloneljesus: sounds kinda dry

DoodlestheGreat: Otaku Elf?
CaptainSpam: The way it worked in TF2, the wear and tear on some skins were set at the point you find it, and was a property on the skin, unrelated to age
Juliamon: nowadays there's not really any reason to hand over that much responsibility to a mod
Sarah_Serinde: @Juliamon Oh in terms of timelines sure
SK__Ren: Its very good
RockPusher:
Lieselotte is great 
Coloneljesus: the house of Laura Kampf?
PMAvers: Oh man, that first episode of Oshi no Ko was a hell of a thing.
DoodlestheGreat: Gotta say, Gundam fans eatin' GOOD this season.
TheMerricat: There's no fucking rail on this ride chat.
Boopity: Witch from Mercury is POPPING OFF
GapFiller: surprise is overrated thereisaidit
BrowneePoints: yea Witch from Mercury Season 2 is starting off STRONG
GapFiller: sometimes knowing exactly whats gonna happen makes stuff better
RockPusher: Tsundere with a heart of marshmallow gold
DoodlestheGreat: @Boopity And now here's Elvis Gundam with "Don't Be Guel."
DoodlestheGreat: "Otaku Elf" is truly delightful.
RockPusher: Skip and Loafer very good
RockPusher: Characters with actual motivations!
saucemaster5000: only anime I've been watching is the final season of Succession
DoodlestheGreat: Romance fans are REALLY doing well this season.
RockPusher: Yuri is my job is… fine
ButButTheJesus: PAUL HALP
Coloneljesus: save us paul
GapFiller: we got offtopic
DoodlestheGreat: Vidja Games!
GapFiller: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Friday Night Paper Fight (The LRR crew plays Magic the Gathering! This week, it's the Canadian Highlander B Team! Game: Magic: The Gathering) at Fri 05:00 PM PDT (1:53 from now).
RockPusher:
So Paul, what anime have you been enjoying this season
aiamethyst: I just chased a normie out of a work meeting by talking about anime
Decaped: To satisfy both conditions start talking about Honkai Star Rail
Coloneljesus: first funko pops that don't exist purely to collect dust!!
Boopity:
@aiamethyst Powerful
Juliamon: The Funko Pop game is so WEIRD because of the timing
BrowneePoints: Cheap merch should exist
TheMerricat: So help me out here chat what's the difference between Funko Pop making a game and Lego making a game?
Coloneljesus: yeah, but make it with less microplastics pls
BrowneePoints: I like my lil Saitama Funko with his bag of groceries
GapFiller: was that story abt all the Funko Pops going in the landfill this week or last week?
BrowneePoints: I DO love my Nendoroid more
Coloneljesus: @TheMerricat you can play with lego
RockPusher: My Domo-kun funkos are pretty good
CrazymattCaptain: the MLP funko figures are good, because they are pony shaped
TemporallyAwry: Funko-Pops are just worse beanie-babies - sent toot.
Juliamon: it would have been laughable if they'd announced it before the merch dump, but coming after makes it just sound so absurd you kinda want to see it actually be good
RockPusher:
Domo-kun already being pretty funko shaped helps
ButButTheJesus: wasn't that Gears of War mobile thing funko?
BrowneePoints: then again, that's cuz someone surprised me with the 2 Star Fight Club Mako special Edition Nendo from Kill La Kill for christmas so it's...kinda precious
Coloneljesus: paul dodging the word "good" there
Boopity: The LEGO games were fun to play with a friend
BrowneePoints: LEGO Skywalker Saga is actually really good, and MASSIVE. Holy CRAP it's a big game
BrindleBoar: the Funkontroversy
TheMerricat: Last month they dumped 30 million worth of merchandise and the reason why they didn't discount it or anything is because if they dump it they get to take it as a 30 million loss on their taxes
CururuGuasu: Game Games
BrowneePoints: yep. back when I worked at GameSTop Funkos took up 70% of our merch wall
GapFiller: TheMerricat fantastic
GapFiller: capitalism folx
Coloneljesus: blockbuster is my favorite character
niccus: surprisingly might be the first time they made a funko of a corpse
Boopity: A blockbuster gijinka
ButButTheJesus: @RockPusher too powerful
TheMerricat: @gapfiller it's the same reason why the ET cartridges were dumped Atari could have actually offloaded them The problem of course is if they didn't destroy them then they didn't get the tax break and since they were going bankrupt that was about the only way they could actually make the most money out of it that they possibly could.
Boopity: Sonic's 30th anniversary?
Robot_Bones: Sonic's 30th anniversary?
CururuGuasu: Sonics 30th anniversary?
EvilBadman: Star Citizen?
Robot_Bones: lawl
Boopity:
Drift compatible
Coloneljesus: 9th layer of hell?
TemporallyAwry:
9th being a region, not a level 
KeytarCat: 9th circuit is California, right?
TheMerricat: The good news is the court of appeals also upheld The ruling that developers can link to third party payment options.

LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, jacobsh97! (Today's storm count: 22)
TheMerricat: Tangential to this in a very extreme manner. We should all celebrate the fact that Colorado was the first state to pass a right to repair law for farmers so that they can actually mess with their own tractors again.
Duhstink: Yeah, it's pretty much just supreme court next
aiamethyst: europe is going to require apple to support loading apps outside of the app store with legislation soon, so epic will be happy about that at least
RockPusher: The Supreme Court could find an issue and kick it back to a lower court, extending the process further
BrowneePoints: is this about Cereza!?
saucemaster5000: semper fi
BrowneePoints: "Get bent, Link"
niccus: "help" replaced with random trivia
BrowneePoints: It's an interesting Poke-like
Tiber727: @TheMerricat I need to see the details on that. NY passed a right to repair bill, but with conditions that made the law useless.
PMAvers: I think it just finally came out of early access?
bytecaster: All of the weird Digimon games in the back: "Come on, we have been doing this for decades"
TheMerricat: @tiber727 unfortunately it was specifically aimed for the agriculture crowd so you probably wouldn't find it all that useful either.
El_Funko: yOu wOuLdN't DoWnLoAd A mOnStEr
EvilBadman: Mixtapes
BrowneePoints: you can fuse em yea. My good friend has had this on the radar since its announcement
bytecaster: Oooh, so it's a Jade Cocoon sequel!
Coloneljesus: sub thingamajig started working all of the sudden?
BrowneePoints: that's based on the Pokemon Fangame Infinite Fusion yea. I'm betting they may have even talked about the code
red_shoes_jeff: @EvilBadman YES
Kazman20a: has the notifier gone insane or am I just not seeing them in chat?
EvilBadman: Swapping to this view is having the Sub bug catchup, yeah
Tiber727: @TheMerricat It's not so much about it being useful, it's about fairness. The NY bill basically allowed companies to declare any type of repair as unsafe, with no requirements and no punishment for abuse.
Coloneljesus: @Kazman20a i've just seen my sub from half an hour ago, so I think it just came back online
Tiber727: So basically, unlimited veto power.
Kazman20a: cool , cool
illinri: just joined what game was that?
saiarcot895: @illinri Pokemon Fusion
BrowneePoints: The idea is grounded in the Infinite Fusion fangame that started back in 2015
bytecaster: jade Cocoon has done that, on the PS1!
BrowneePoints: @illinri Casette Beasts
BrowneePoints: Cassette Beasts*
Tiber727: @TheMerricat Which allows politicians to say they fixed the problem without actually doing anything.
BrindleBoar: bytecaster and Jade Coccoon 2 did it on the PS2
BrindleBoar: frig *Cocoon
KeytarCat: Threads of Fate for PS2 has this mechanic!
Decaped: Pokemon has a story?
BrowneePoints: idk Scarlet and Violet was pretty darn nuanced
aceofroses_: Hello just arrived chat, what game were they talking?
BrowneePoints: okay doesn't have romance though
red_shoes_jeff: That everyone was walking around with cassette tapes was a dead giveaway, on the adult protag thing.
SK__Ren: You mean Latias?
bytecaster: Isn't that why Mr. Mime exists?
mowdownjoe: Something something horny fan base...
Tiber727: @TheMerricat That looks pretty ironclad, but then I feel ars underreported the problems with the NY bill.
BrowneePoints: the narrative is also where a lot of Poke Likes fall short
falling_twilight: So when can we expect a Dice Friends of Cute and Fuzzy Seizure Monsters?
Coloneljesus: @mowdownjoe at this point, isn't that literally every game?
mowdownjoe: Scarlett & Violet seems to get a lot of praise...
mowdownjoe: @coloneljesus ... Touche.
BrowneePoints: Correct. Not marketed on story but they generally have resonant stories for kids
Mollylele: the mechanics are how i interface with the story, does not matter if the story is great if the mechanics are boring
BrowneePoints: entirely environmental too
Mollylele: powerwash sim has a great story too
RockPusher: Unpacking has amazing story design
BrowneePoints: Oh no no, dark Souls has LORE
BrowneePoints: it has NO story
Mollylele: ^^
Sarah_Serinde: Unpacking absolutely has story and it's a really good one
Coloneljesus: DSs story is what your char does
BrowneePoints: fromsoft fans can @ me
Juliamon: Lore is the setting
Coloneljesus: @BrowneePoints hey
bytecaster: Dark Souls has only two proper characters with speaking roles and they are both weird snakes.
TheMerricat: I thought Lore was Data's brother
BrowneePoints: what...the F...am I watching
red_shoes_jeff:
BrowneePoints: Moana
GapFiller: The Last Rainforest?
niccus: i'd guess they decorated a room in-game and then modeled after it
EvilBadman: Ferngully
RockPusher:
Anyone remember Cartoon Allstars to the Rescue?
Plasterboard: Ever wake up in the middle of the night to find out that your house is on fire? I have
fiftymcnasty: Moana isnt Pixar
Coloneljesus: pretty sure DoubleFine made this game already
MrVirite: @EvilBadman Yes
aitsu100: More Ferngully to me
Coloneljesus: Inferno it was called methinks
BrowneePoints: Te Ka from Moana
Mollylele: tbh if i saw the Nook bros smoking outside the cranny I'd be like "aight"
red_shoes_jeff: Well... not ALWAYS musical.
bytecaster: Are they gonna Mario next, where he can't get over a pit anymore because he lacks stamina because of all the smoking?
falling_twilight: Disney has Princesses, Pixar has Moms
BrowneePoints: Tom Nook 100% blazes it
aitsu100: @BrowneePoints thats why he and Red got along so well for so long
AtrusOfMyst: Pixar mom infinity gauntlet
PixelArtDragon: Y'like jazz?
aitsu100: heck yes
EvilBadman: Gentle Love ruuuuuule
Juliamon: Yesss I listen to Vol 1 a lot
Juliamon: They're great sleepy music
Coloneljesus: wait how can I listen to Jazz Celeste?
Coloneljesus:
SK__Ren: I found the ODST music to have the same feel
BrowneePoints: that's sick. I've been missing jazz videogame covers since Insaneintherain stopped doing them
LordZarano: aiamethist listens to chill guitar covers of game music on her painting streams
Juliamon: BrowneePoints I'm pretty sure I found Gentle Love from Spotify's "Users who liked x also liked" list on insaneintherain
EvilBadman:
They sure haven't done a hollow knight yet 
BrowneePoints: I'm playing that right now!
RealGamerCow: This is the series of Survivor with Jedi on the island
BrowneePoints: The day 1 patch seemed to have worked for me cuz I have no pc hiccups
Juliamon: The game that made James break a pick this morning!
fiftymcnasty: yes this one did indeed Survive
falling_twilight: apparently not as many died as we thought
Dread_Pirate_Westley: Heather, Spoilers!
bytecaster: I cannot wait for one having the hyphen between Star and Wars.
BrowneePoints: first one was Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, this one is Jedi: Survivor
BrowneePoints: It's really good so far!
GapFiller: and the PC port is apparently not great
BrowneePoints: I'm also a big star wars nerd! I'm also playing it on a mid level pc and it's fine!
Decaped: PC port is embarrassing.
ButButTheJesus: @bytecaster Star: Wars
Juliamon: I'm glad the patch worked, after hearing "3090 couldn't get over 30fps" I felt so bad
BrowneePoints: it does
CururuGuasu: Default is Knight
BrowneePoints: there's little tabs that say "reduced parry window, increased health" etc
TheSilverGekko: playing star wars games on easy is fun because you can role play as a master force user
RockPusher: Sand Mode
BrowneePoints: underneath the difficulty selection
AtrusOfMyst: My favorite mode, "Jedi Salacious B Crumb"
ButButTheJesus: T-63, X-Wing, Falcon, Destroyer
PMAvers: "...what does 'Porkins' difficulty even mean?"
Coloneljesus: celeste also had a slow mode
fiftymcnasty: It is also a gameplay thing
ButButTheJesus: @PMAvers you always get shot and explode after 10 minutes
red_shoes_jeff: As a reminder, Womp Rats are a little more than 2 meters in size.
BrowneePoints: Paul, this is Star wars, Jazz doesn't exist
Juliamon: Where would Nerf Herder fall?
TheSilverGekko: @BrowneePoints max reebo wants to know your location
BrowneePoints: Well Nerfs are like 8ft tall Cows @Juliamon
ButButTheJesus: *oh T-16, not T-63
BrowneePoints: gotta be hard movin them around
EvilBadman: @PMAvers You think you're doing all right and then just obliterated
RockPusher:
Youngling Mode 
falling_twilight: @PMAvers I thought I could blow up the Death Star on Porkins Difficulty, but I couldn't hold it together long enough
red_shoes_jeff: @EvilBadman Oh hey, I play RoR2 on Porkins difficulty all the time!
BrowneePoints: i'm playing on pc right now
BrowneePoints: on my mid level machine it's perfectly fine
GapFiller: 30fps on a 3090
Snowcookies:
The PC version being butt made James break a netherite pickaxe
EvilBadman: they put out a tweet of words on a graphic saying they're working on it
falling_twilight: They should close Outlook before playing
BrowneePoints: like consistent 50fps I think?
Metric_Furlong: it's true
ButButTheJesus: spoilers ahoy!
fiftymcnasty: Also turn off your Twitch ads, I saw a twitch ad showing Zelda stuff
Metric_Furlong: just in general, don't be on twitter
falling_twilight: I heard IGN Japan did an Oops and Nintendo is pissed at them?
CururuGuasu: I can confirm
BrowneePoints: Have a Scotcheroo for me Beej!
Texan_Reverend: !mastodon
CururuGuasu: Suburbs. Internet so slow
SquareDotCube: Minneapolis is actually closer to the edge of Minnesota >_>
Snowcookies: Replace CHillpoint with Meg's Monster?

Sarah_Serinde:
@ButButTheJesus I just won the scavenger hunt first that's all
EvilBadman: session*
Metric_Furlong: Greyah ah, I see we're dealing with a pro ehre
Metric_Furlong: *here
Juliamon: The game is saying it's the final boss, which makes me wary that it *isn't*
Juliamon: (do not spoil if it is or isn't)
PMAvers: I'm still amazed about what he has up for May.
ButButTheJesus: I used to inverted, until I couldn't for a brief period
DoodlestheGreat: WAIT! Wheeler's with you guys in Minnepolis!
Earthenone: whats up for may?
Snowcookies: It's that game based on the show Arcane
EvilBadman: I thought it was based on Lavorant
PMAvers: He's doing Wizard 101, according to the schedule.

ButButTheJesus: hey chat - what's the name of the loadingreadylive segment where they have to guess what kind of video is on the greenscreen behind them?
Earthenone: live on location
DoodlestheGreat: @ButButTheJesus Friday Night Dub Fight, I think?
Sarah_Serinde: @ButButTheJesus No that's something else
Sarah_Serinde: Since it's an improv game it probably has multiple names too
ButButTheJesus: I searched and found one "Dead on Location" from a halloween episode, that works, thx!
Sarah_Serinde: A quick google suggests that Whose Line calls it News Flash, in case that's useful too
Snowcookies: I know the wiki lists segments
Sarah_Serinde:
The wiki crew does good work
Earthenone: though based on the jackbox stream, maybe its best not to ask the wiki how to kiss
Juliamon: no, that's just WikiHow
Sarah_Serinde:
I mean I was talking about the LRR wiki specifically, I won't speak about WikiHow
