Metric_Furlong: (aka the chaos moon)
Metric_Furlong: well, that's the semi-obscure reference made for this week
Metric_Furlong: back to watching Japanese children's cartoons from the 90s
mtvcdm: Hello, it's cold and windy and rainy and grey outside and some people would consider that pleasant in which case I'll have them know there's also apple blossoms outside my window
CAKHost: Hi everyone!
NightValien28: hi hi CAKHost
mtvcdm: Welp, heaven or hell, let's rock.
Juliamon:
NightValien28:
here we go
CAKHost:
!
TehAmelie: aloha
ReachW: Just got done catching up on last week's vod, so looking forward to this one!
Pteraspidomorphi: Sadly today might be the last if they're not planning to do the post game stuff
Juliamon: It would wrap up the month all tidy-like to finish it today. Two months on one game is a lot, even if it's a good game.
SocraticMethod: Ian and Heather indicated that they aren't interested in it since it's mostly combat challenges
Pteraspidomorphi: Yeah, probably a good decision
mowdownjoe: Who's ready for not Joy Formidable?
SocraticMethod: Time for more 4th wall obliteration
RoastedGravy: IT'S GONNA BE MAY
RoastedGravy:
Pteraspidomorphi: It has been May for 6 minutes!
Izandai:
mtvcdm: It's the end of April, and that makes us all April Geniuses.

LRRbot:

RoastedGravy: So Crapshot Intimidations?
Izandai: That's 4.
Izandai:
RoastedGravy: "Don't make me make a Crapshot of this."
SocraticMethod: Would that make Paul a scalper?
mtvcdm: Ian also has *your* TS-5. That's the threat part.
mtvcdm: Sometimes there's just staring
TehAmelie: second verse: a threat is a lie if you don't follow through
mtvcdm: !homestreams
LRRbot: Crew homestreams: Adam: twitch.tv/seabats | Alex: twitch.tv/alexsteacy | Ben Ulmer: twitch.tv/bengineering | Cameron: twitch.tv/unarmedoracle | Cori and Ian: twitch.tv/tiltyhouse | Heather: twitch.tv/LunarJade | James: twitch.tv/James_LRR | Jeremy White: twitch.tv/jrhwhite | Kathleen: twitch.tv/BraveNewFaves | Matt Wiggins: twitch.tv/wiggins | Nelson: twitch.tv/coachnelly | Serge: twitch.tv/sergeyager | Wheeler: twitch.tv/benjamin_wheeler

Juliamon: (psst, tweet)
SaxPython: CrowWatch2023
mtvcdm:
wifi12345678910: This iis to ensure the Crow's safety, right?
wifi12345678910: No crow Dox
kusinohki: meows [lurking]
Invitare: caught the peanut out of the air and ate it?
SaxPython:
DaxStrife: I'm picturing the raccoon catching the peanut mid-air and eating it, just to spite Ian.
duckace11: Racoon Butlers!
ninja_theory_ashrams: Racacoonie
TheDailyMapleSyrup: We exactly where you all live, Victoria, BC ! How long does it take to search every single house in Victoria BC
SaxPython: The spice must flow. The spice is cinnamon.
Juliamon: You started March with it
Juliamon: And now you are ending April with it
RedJackz: Last you were fighting the concert boss right? That's 2 stages left to go once you beat that one.
mowdownjoe: Last full stage followed by the final boss. We'll see if we can finish the boss.
ninja_theory_ashrams: This is the end, likely
SocraticMethod: @RedJackz That boss is dead
RedJackz: Oh aight
Juliamon: They're in the runup to Kale now
ReachW: It would take a lot of work to make these last two tracks go beyond today.
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: hey
RedJackz: Oh before the big door?
RedJackz: Awesome!
SocraticMethod: Sometimes you need cursed game disks just to use them as props
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234:
SocraticMethod: @RedJackz Just before the giant bot section, after meeting the mom
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: when portal 2 stream?
RoastedGravy:
laundreydhull: Oooooh.... That explains why the BNF stream looked weird last night from mobile
RedJackz: The game is 4th wall breaking here xD
ArrestedHouse: LuL
ReachW: Ze fourth wall shatters
ninja_theory_ashrams: Hopefully, stream stabilizes for me. I'm on shyte hotel wifi
laundreydhull:
mtvcdm: WOW
RedJackz: Chai looking at you
Pteraspidomorphi:
RoastedGravy: BURN
mtvcdm: !clip
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
Newbiespud: THE LINE
RoastedGravy:
SocraticMethod: @RedJackz Every mid-mission retreat to hideout does it, this part is the most egregious about it
NightValien28: fourth wall status obliterated
adept_nekomancer: Fourth wall status: devastated
DaxStrife:
Oh man, I got too engrossed in the game when I played it I missed *all this dialogue*
laundreydhull: I saw a thumbnail of a clip on YouTube explaining what would happen when you do this...
adept_nekomancer: @NightValien28 lol... you beat me to it
NightValien28: DaxStrife they have that for every level if you quit mid way
ReachW: @DaxStrife There are a couple of compilations on Youtube, I think.
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234:
looks like i missed the suspiciously wealthy furry
Juliamon: theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234 It didn't seem that suspicious to me
SocraticMethod: If you take breaks when in hideout instead of mid-missions, you never see these screens
mayman_: 390k???
chaostreader: I think there may be items in the shop to buy to increase health if you want?
mayman_: you could buy like everything
ninja_theory_ashrams: Like that hidden game dream sequence in Metal gear solid 3
mtvcdm: You're probably not doing any more shopping after this, so.
laundreydhull: Anyone up for a Pick Me Up before going?
mowdownjoe: 5 is the max. The next chip slot is the last.
ninja_theory_ashrams: I like the RT team moves
PMAvers: Note for the higher level of effects on the chips, you have to set the level of it since they take up more slots.
chaostreader: ^
SocraticMethod: @LoadingReadyRun if I may suggest looking at alternative super attacks, they have new mechanics
RedJackz: Max hp all the way!@
breadisbest1: can you look at the chip that turns off the long range grab again?
SocraticMethod: Health tank is pretty meh since you need to be at max health to take advatage of it
ninja_theory_ashrams: Health tank is more useful on higher difficulty
SocraticMethod: Aww, but Hibiki is such a cool move
ArrestedHouse: oh chai
Juliamon: Remember, backseating Heather will encourage her to not do the thing you want her to do
Pteraspidomorphi:
Only surpassed by 808 cat attack
SaxPython: Booooo
wifi12345678910: Kale tastes like bitterness and death
inconsideratehat: I like it fried up as a hot salad. Yes I know that sounds weird.
mowdownjoe:
@pteraspidomorphi 
ArrestedHouse:
Travilogue: I think it said we were going back through Production to get... wherever we are going
laundreydhull:
Because detours, 
mowdownjoe: Also, this makes me wish I was listening to Joy Formidable right now.
laundreydhull: We were convinced it was a takeout til this... "Endgame"?
duckace11: form an ordly que to help the protagnist now
ArrestedHouse: the power of friendship
SocraticMethod: @Juliamon not trying to backseat, just bummed that we won't get to see ZA WARUDO
laundreydhull: *takeout, correctors & stuff
laundreydhull: No, auto-corrector I said "Fake Out". Sheesh.
Juliamon: SocraticMethod Unsolicited suggestions are backseating, no matter how badly you want to see something.
Lithobraker: I believe this chord progression is legally required to be played over a montage of a group of highschool friends' last summer together before they all leave for different colleges.
SocraticMethod: So much health dropping
ninja_theory_ashrams: 360p on hotel wifi does not do this game justice
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: @laundreydhull dont you just love autocorrrect?........
Anaerin: Autocarrot is just the best!
mtvcdm: Look at all the Vandelay Arrows turning against their former master to point the way for us.
ArrestedHouse: Donk!
SaxPython:
mowdownjoe: IAN...
DaxStrife: That was the appropriate reaction, Ian.
ReachW: Me too, Ian, me too.
laundreydhull: @lithobraker sounds 'outdated' Do Not Recommend. Ever. (Again.)
RoastedGravy: Kind of?
mtvcdm: Only mostly.
SocraticMethod: Peter Molyneux? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be haunting E3 right now?
duckace11: Mtvcdm you say that like kale isn't vain enough to put arrows right to his office no matter what
RoastedGravy: Crypto and crypto accessories
JKBalch subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 34 months!
JKBalch: 34 months! Almost a rule.
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, JKBalch! (Today's storm count: 6)
SocraticMethod: SE feels like they are committing harder than that to crypto nonsense
Kumakaori:
been catching up on the vods of these 
! Love the humor in the game >D. Y'all got this! >D!!!
laundreydhull: Japan simply put, is making block chains work or something?
SocraticMethod: Did SE sack the CEO because he wasn't going hard enough? And he was going pretty hard on it.
ReachW: Yeah, they hired some new young buck on the basis that he's going harder on crypto
Juliamon: Sunk-cost fallacy? Never heard of her.
laundreydhull: Combo Double Riff with stun attacks?
laundreydhull: Guessing
laundreydhull: Allegedly...
ReachW: Thanks, CNMN
SaxPython: The set pieces in this game are so fun. This is the platonic ideal of a video game
mowdownjoe: To be fair, that's how I treated Roquefort.
TherapyforNarwhals: So which character do we think dies?
ArrestedHouse: oh CNMN
SocraticMethod: The head of the bot reminds me of locomotive and I can't point the exact feature why
mowdownjoe:
@arrestedhouse
duckace11: This is the one video game where creates everywhere make sense
ReachW: @SaxPython Yeah, I've been describing this as "the most video game" to friends I've recommended it to
mtvcdm: Macaron's just... hucking girders into the side of a building like it's nothing
SocraticMethod: @SaxPython I would say it's the most XBOX/SEGA video game there is.
SocraticMethod: OG jumbo-size XBOX that is
ReachW: Yeah, this is peak Dreamcast-era stuff and I love it.
CAKHost: I mean we are a melee fighter...
mtvcdm: 'This reminds me of a Dreamcast game' is always high, high praise.
mtvcdm: It takes a very particular vibe and look to get to a Dreamcast comparison and it's worth going after.
NightValien28: ooh that was point blank
EricTheOrange: tango softworks is a japanese studio
kerbalized_ subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 50 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, kerbalized_! (Today's storm count: 7)
RedJackz: ABS!
SocraticMethod: I saw a Gen 1 XBOX case mockup for it and it fit just so well
mayman_: macaron's power level varies a lot from cutscene to gameplay
mayman_: he's like a greek god in cutscenes
laundreydhull: But what of the NESBOX 360?
Dog_of_Myth:
mtvcdm: OH NO
CAKHost: -1 Arm
CAKHost: Wat
adept_nekomancer: Go CNMN!
CAKHost: D:
NightValien28: GO CNMN
TherapyforNarwhals: I called it
ArrestedHouse: oh no!
terribleplan: nononono
ReachW: CNMN best MN
Sarah_Serinde: This is precious
laundreydhull: Will the game acknowledge this?
mayman_: wholesome ending, everyone dies!
OmnipotentTrevor: This is a sentai sequence
iarethel0ser: Surely they cannot kill all five of us!
Invitare: this is how Metroid Dread ended
ReachW: stop shooting yourself, stop shooting yourself
RedJackz: CNMN going ham
RedJackz: Show me your Warface!!!
mtvcdm: I imagine this was one where they'd just have you silently repeat it until you got it right.
terribleplan: they all ded?
ReachW: Dramatic Finish!
Invitare: did he wipe... the marker off his face?
NightValien28: the dopest
SocraticMethod:
Chai rolled 0 on diplomacy as usual
laundreydhull:
Which one 
?
laundreydhull: There's like at least twelve Iron Men...
RedJackz: There are references in this game? xD
wifi12345678910: Cowboy Bebop
Pteraspidomorphi: References in this game? Never!
ninja_theory_ashrams: That'll do pig
KeytarCat: @wifi12345678910 Oh, fighting like water?
RedJackz: Best gameplay coming right now
SocraticMethod: And the second best boss fight!
laundreydhull: Megamind
SocraticMethod: (right after the suspiciously wealthy furry)
laundreydhull:
But only if saw it...
NightValien28: cyber suit
mowdownjoe: The final boss using "The Perfect Drug" by NIN outside of streamer mode just is a beautiful way to end it.
SocraticMethod: I low how he has cybersuit under his suit
SocraticMethod: love*
ninja_theory_ashrams: This is going to clip worthy
ReachW: 808!
azureHaights: Square Up Kitty
NightValien28: GET HIS ASS 808
Invitare: Lets go cat
NightValien28: fuck him up kitty
mowdownjoe: KITTY
RedJackz: LETS GO
DaxStrife: More games need the courage to use Nine Inch Nails music.
adept_nekomancer: It's kitty time!
CAKHost: KITTY Beat him up!
mtvcdm: YES
terribleplan: YES!!
NightValien28: GO GO GO
CAKHost: \o/
mtvcdm: Good kitty!
TherapyforNarwhals: Holy shit this is amazing
SocraticMethod: No more heroes reference!
NightValien28: GOTY
133 raiders from benjamin_wheeler have joined!
duckace11: we need now to ask of video games if we can fight as the cat
mtvcdm: Hi Rodeo!
mtvcdm: Thanks for being here, it's great to have you
ReachW: Need me a 808 spinoff yesterday thanks.
BrowneePoints: And yes this is another Ninr Inch Nails song
CAKHost: Best Kitty!
BrowneePoints: Nine*
OhGodAGod: SUDDEN THUNDERSTORM
RedJackz: That kitty saved the day
mayman_: @reachw musical Stray
ReachW: @mayman_ heck yeah
azureHaights: Imperfect Drug by Nein Inch Nails
silenceaux: Watch out for the photon blast XD
RoastedGravy: No, it's 22 Centimeter Nails
mowdownjoe: @browneepoints It's The Perfect Drug, which might give any Rock Band drummers some trauma flashbacks.
ArrestedHouse: parry the world!
SocraticMethod: @mowdownjoe Considering that one of the boss phases is just the drump solo on repeat, yeah ...
mayman_: this dude is super fun to parry, makes you feel strong
ReachW: @ArrestedHouse mfw parrying the signs on the L.I.F.T.
SocraticMethod: @ArrestedHouse What about ... parrying the volcano?
ArrestedHouse: @ArrestedHouse i laughed so hard doing that the first time LuL
mayman_: that parry health chip doing WORK right now
ArrestedHouse: @ArrestedHouse oh absolutey that too
mtvcdm: Checkpoint!
ReachW: volcano was also good, loved that.
SocraticMethod: Verse 2!
terribleplan: Doc oc?
DrLigmaPhD: Weirdly horny but go on
ArrestedHouse:
GredGredmansson: ok I can hear where the perfect drug comes in
SocraticMethod: The most annoying phase to S rank for the reasons that become obvious shortly
Avizonarix: how is the soundtrack so far
mowdownjoe: Yeah, it took me a bit to realize the trick to this phase. You just can't hit him.
mowdownjoe: Ian got it.
couchboyj: There's got to be a good music pun playing off Doc Oc. Doc Octave, perhaps?
mtvcdm: He's a tricycle now!
SocraticMethod: Yep, have to wait until Kale does the _right_ attack. If the Random Number God hates you, say goodbye to time bonus.
ArrestedHouse: @couchboyj if that's not the speedrun name for this phase, it should be LuL
ReachW: also, best hope you got to S bonus before this on Rhythm Master.
Avizonarix: GG
Feriority: Oh, dang, I was hoping I hadn't missed too much but if we're on this fight already I should probably bounce to the vod and see what I missed
mayman_: potential no death run??
BrowneePoints: Yall ready for dbz
mtvcdm: He says when we're two phases deep into the final boss.
TherapyforNarwhals: SHAZAM
SocraticMethod: Verse 3!
NightValien28: I love that the collar powers up
CururuGuasu: Bridge
laundreydhull: Yea, get snuff'd stupid Saiyan!
Yakkers221B: Oh dang his collar powered up
BrowneePoints: And now he's just Xemnas
Yakkers221B:
SocraticMethod: Also, IIRC the drum solo section
Juliamon: aaagh cookies are ready but I don't want to leave to get themmm
duckace11: Cookies over Content Juliamon
RedJackz: At least you don't have to do the entire fight sequence when you wipe-out.
definenull: Just use telekinesis
SmashTCG: I love the song for this boss fight kn the nonstreamer mode
laundreydhull: There goes the One/Run_, but it computes
ReachW: noice
KeytarCat: @Juliamon Remember the lesson from DBFH: you can't see all of it, so take the breaks you need
ArrestedHouse: @SmashTCG it was rather...perfect
mayman_: @smashtcg it's such a ballsy move to use a drum solo for the final epic phase instead of loud vocals and it paid off 100%
definenull:
ReachW:
adept_nekomancer: I didn't know you could fall off the edge.
DrLigmaPhD: Oh you DEAD dead
Dog_of_Myth:
Simonark: At least we know there's still wooden floor off the side of the building!
SmashTCG: @arrestedhouse so good, it was... like a drug
mowdownjoe:
RoastedGravy: Yeah, science!
Sarah_Serinde: Science is very important
RedJackz: The best kind of science is done accidentally
ArrestedHouse:
Science!
BrowneePoints: He does the Alucard flash step
SocraticMethod: I've never noticed that it doesn't leave fire pools if all lighting attacks are blocked.
definenull: Man those parries look so satisfying
SocraticMethod:
I just went for his dumb face 
mowdownjoe: Yeah, I remember after phase 2, I was pretty Unga Bunga.
DrLigmaPhD: I regret to inform everyone that any fanfic of this game is liable to include the name or wordplay "Dirty Chai"
mtvcdm: Now we've got that bit down.
mayman_: cheeky chai
mtvcdm: Kale keeps trying it.
ReachW: Dope!
mtvcdm: This is the one.
definenull: Nice!
SocraticMethod: And the most satisfying section here
ReachW: Kale has never worked a day in his life
Simonark: Are all the villains in this game named after brassicas?
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: nooooo the quality went down suddenly
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: oh nvm its back up
Juliamon: yeah, Twitch compression struggles with this game
SocraticMethod: @Simonark No, We have Rekka (noodles), Mimosa (drink), Roquefort(cheese) and the JoJo reference
definenull: Everyone together now!
eff_the_bard: did I come in during the final boss?
mtvcdm: Right in the NECK
SaxPython: the everyone teamups make me so happy.
ReachW: god I love these idiots so much
GredGredmansson: "I may be a loser, but I'm the loser that BEAT YOU."
SaxPython: #Kabong
definenull: Oof rip spine
SocraticMethod: CEO murdered, rich eaten!
RedJackz: He ded
cuttlefishman: SBA
ReachW: SBA cleaned up Kale after he got reduced to 0 toughness
TheMerricat: We've killed so many people int his game chat....
Simonark: An S, two As and a B? Together, they're the magic word!
SocraticMethod: And this is why Korsica is the worst head of security.
OhGodAGod: 'PASSWORD'?! Korsica, HEAD OF SECURITY, come on!
mtvcdm: Voltron GO
RedJackz: Password is....
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234:
just killed a CEO,feeiing good
terribleplan: ffs
Dog_of_Myth:
ReachW:
J0hnnyFr3sh: palm --> face
pn55:
GredGredmansson: Head of Security, everyone
NightValien28: DAMN IT KORSICA
ArrestedHouse: LuL
definenull: gdi korsica
mowdownjoe: Still funny!
PMAvers: The magic smoke!
laundreydhull: Head of security everyone....
ReachW: Nobody is going to expect the head of security's password to BE password
laundreydhull: Former, anyway...
ReachW: Secure as.
OmnipotentTrevor: Didn't Korsica not have access to Spectra?
couchboyj: Everyone knows redundant "things you have" doesn't increase security in multifactor authentication!
NightValien28: sargent Dan
SocraticMethod: @OmnipotentTrevor Not the code, but she had one-sixth of the keys
RedJackz: Honestly the character growth of Chai is really good to see
J0hnnyFr3sh: THE Vandelay Industries?
PMAvers: "Change your password, though."
SocraticMethod: @OmnipotentTrevor Which gave her a way to dig into the Spectra files itself
OmnipotentTrevor: figure setting the password wasn't up to her
SocraticMethod: @OmnipotentTrevor Oh no, that password as all her
definenull: pat pat
Boopity:
Peppermint is basically Miorine
SaxPython:
CAKHost: D:
BrowneePoints: I love that she's Biracial
Cptasparagus: she does kind of have a gundam Vfin on her neck
ReachW:
SocraticMethod: @OmnipotentTrevor Since she didn't have cybernetics she chose password
laundreydhull: No, CNMN is just 'that' weird.
kusinohki: meows again (unlurking this time)
mayman_: rockstar for minimum wage
Lithobraker: "We will welcome you with open arms ... Entry level, part time, no dental"
Sarah_Serinde: @BrowneePoints Do we know anything about her dad? If you're just basing it on her accent I wouldn't assume she's part white
SocraticMethod: "And now you get to be unpaid intern"
definenull: GG!
aitsu100: Chia you will be an influencer
SaxPython:
NightValien28: flawless game
laundreydhull:
pls
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: keep watching till the end
cuttlefishman: there is an after credits
RedJackz: I recommend watching till the end
CAKHost: \o/
laundreydhull: Run it back first?
BrowneePoints: I meant more Kale and Peppermint but I agree their mom may just be Indian and that's awesome @sarah_serinde
wolfric23: thare is a good amount of post game
TheMerricat:
CAKHost: But what will happen with the Vandelay Arrows?
PMAvers: And they never did fix the coffee maker.
laundreydhull: Why decaf, system!?
Sarah_Serinde: @BrowneePoints Yeah no I meant Kale and Peppermint's dad. But either way yay representation
definenull: I need a set of "hi-fi rush beats to vibe to" wallpapers
BrowneePoints: The transitions were seamless
RedJackz: Clearly they were shipped
TheMerricat: I keep forgetting that this song is about Synesthesia
BrowneePoints: Tango are japanese devs
GredGredmansson: @laundreydhull it was the final move of a disgruntled employee
mowdownjoe: And look! Chai is actually learning to play guitar!
EricTheOrange: @LoadingReadyRun Tango softworks is ajapanese studio. Started by shinji mikami, the creator of resedent evil
DrLigmaPhD: The music is also pretty dang good
BrowneePoints: It's the evil within/ghostwire studio
Invitare: oh the game is canonically shipping Korsica and Peppermint
GredGredmansson: I thought Sega went to Nintendo for the most part
SocraticMethod: The director of this game is John Johanas
GredGredmansson: or at least Sonic did
BrowneePoints: But yea Bethesda published and Japanese developed
SocraticMethod: Also known from The Evil Within 2
DrLigmaPhD: I want the tiny truck
RedJackz: I don't recommend standing in a moving pick-up truck
BrowneePoints: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk!
ReachW: Cyberfunk is August now!
RoastedGravy: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
terribleplan: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk looks dope
mowdownjoe: Bomb Rush Cyber Funk
DrLigmaPhD: @RedJackz Sounds like coward talk
TheMerricat: Cyberfunk != Cyberpunk and have to keep reminding myself that it's not part of that....
mtvcdm: (gasp) GRASS
kusinohki: funk rush cyber bomb
BrowneePoints: This is a successor to the ps2 adventure platformer
BrowneePoints: In the best way
RoastedGravy: Character development!
definenull: o//
mayman_: the sequel to the credits
RoastedGravy: Chai finally learning to play guitar!
couchboyj: maybe he doesn't want legs? don't be robo-ablist
laundreydhull:
Why not 
Rush?
Boopity: Credits 2: Electric Boogaloo
OhGodAGod: My game of the year so faer
BrowneePoints: And yes lead designer worked on Okami and Bayo
BrowneePoints: And DMC
ArrestedHouse: @OhGodAGod biiiiig same
adept_nekomancer: Names... one of my many weaknesses
CAKHost: I saw a James
Pteraspidomorphi: Hopefully it's not robbed like Tunic
TherapyforNarwhals: Definetly best soundtrack/sound design
mowdownjoe: As I mentioned, it's being run this year on SGDQ.
ArrestedHouse: I fear it's gonna be forgotten by then
PMAvers: I'd like to see it go for GOTY noms if just because it's not a sequel or remake.
DrLigmaPhD: It looked great, sounded great, played great, and had a satisfying narrative and writing
ReachW: @BrowneePoints God, that makes so much sense. Replayed Okami last week and it still felt so good.
mayman_: I've seen people describe it as a video game-ass video game and it's a perfect description
definenull: I wonder how you speed run this
GredGredmansson: I've heard this described as "a gamecube game, in the best way possible"
BrowneePoints: So this was a ton of veteran devs who know their stuff, was a passion project, and Bethesda was willing to fund them
Boopity: I feel like the week or so it came out, absolutely *everyone* was talking about this game. Which is great, considering how little marketing the game got
OhGodAGod: Oh wow! Didn't know all the 2D cinematics were done by Titmouse! That's a big animation studio!
definenull: Yay titmouse!
Simonark: They need to make more impossible games for babies. Challenge em young, that's what I say
SocraticMethod: @LoadingReadyRun Fun fact, John Johanas was a TA before he joined Tango for the hell of it. No game design experience before he was making The Evil Within 2. Hi-Fi rush was his idea that he pitched to Shinji Mikami after Mikami wanted to diversify after TEW2 out of horror games.
GredGredmansson: voice cast
definenull: Omg the cast is stacked
KeytarCat: @BrowneePoints Bethesda decided to give money to good devs for a game they actually like and care about!
PMAvers: They actually added in more accessibility options in the last patch for stuff like parries.
NightValien28: wait you can??? gonna buy necrodancer now
Sibwow: cadence of hyrule as a rhythmless puzzle game with a bangin sound track is super great
mayman_: This game taught me how to play Necrodancer, I had it in my library for years but couldn't do a thing
ReachW: And the range of difficulty and (on a rhythm game level, at least) accessibility options really help in that regard. I can't play Crypt of the Necrodancer at all but this was so good for me.
Salbastro: Necrodancer also punishes you if youre not on beat, whereas Hi-Fi erwards you
adept_nekomancer: I feel like this one might have wider appeal beyond the rhythm game community because rhythm is a supporting element here (the game stands without the rhythm component, but the rhythm greatly enhances it)
EricTheOrange: speaking of did you see the announcement of the crypt of the necrodancer psuedo sequel?
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: well about that
DrLigmaPhD: Oh hey Titmouse was involved
Simonark: Titmouse Inc.? No wonder the animation killed it.
GredGredmansson: Bard from Necrodancer
Boopity: Yes, Necrodancer has a character on by default where there's no beats
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." For chat and @loadingreadyrun
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: im making a interesting rhythm game
ArrestedHouse: I feel like this is one of the more accessible games in both rhythm and character action games, which is great
BrowneePoints: And yes 2d animation was titmouse
mowdownjoe: I think there was a patch that has a game-wide Bard mode.
Simonark: Go Team Venture.
EricTheOrange: the japanese is actually very good
mtvcdm: You know, I wonder what ever became of SCR-UB.
OhGodAGod: Kale is voiced by Dio, so the Japanese VA is already stacked
Pteraspidomorphi: Oh wow
GredGredmansson: a few of the name puns make more sense in Japanese (Rekka, Zanzo)
adept_nekomancer: If Japanese was the original language, then the English localization was excellent.
definenull: I wonder will there be a dissonance with Japanese VA + English OST
emberBecky: writer was not Japanese, I don't think? John Johanes. so I assume it was English first.
GredGredmansson: also I'm pretty sure Korsica's VA is a newcomer
SocraticMethod: @LoadingReadyRun The game was originally written (and mock VA'd) in both languages
GredGredmansson: couldn't find her on BTVA
BrowneePoints: I think the English and japanese script were done at the same time
mayman_: I doubt this game was japanese first, the director who wrote the whole thing is english
Bionull: This is intentionally corny, though, so it dodges the usual problem with hearing anime in English
Pteraspidomorphi: GredGredmansson: You mean in japanese?
EricTheOrange: the only one I think is strictly better in english is rekka
GredGredmansson: in English @Pteraspidomorphi
Pteraspidomorphi: I loved her
mayman_: you needa listen to more NIN!
BrowneePoints: They chose some good not mainstream songs from mainstream artists
TheDailyMapleSyrup: Hurt, Johnny cash covered that
GredGredmansson: I will say, the Streamer-Mode soundtrack was also really great
SaxPython: 100% Ian
SocraticMethod: @emberBecky Because of the covid, John Johanes did a mock VA work on both languages before they got booth time.
ArrestedHouse: both soundtracks are terrific
Boopity:
Nine Inch Nails? Ah that wikipedia page that y'all were trying to find on LoadingReadyLive
GredGredmansson: I prefer the Streamer-Mode theme for Mimosa's boss fight over the Licensed one
mtvcdm: Nothing sounded like 'X song with the serial numbers filed off'.
ReachW: A lot of the original tracks are really good replacements. The only one I'd say is much better is Invaders Must Die
aiamethyst: see also life is strange true colors streamer mode
EricTheOrange: "To big to fail" is on my playlist at the moment
mayman_: @aiamethyst it's the most unintentionally hilarious thing ever
SocraticMethod: @mtvcdm The Intruder kinda did you knew what was licensed version
mayman_: I just don't get how they approved that
Boopity: @aiamethyst That clip of them air guitaring lives in my mind rent free
definenull: To big to fail was excellent, especially as the first boss
BrowneePoints: The closest was the Prodigy track but that's cuz how do you make a house track sound like a DJ's without copying
mayman_: yeah like they could've slapped anything license free over it
DrLigmaPhD: Yeah the music fucks
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234: they might
mtvcdm: After this level of success, most AAA studios would go '...we kinda HAVE to make a sequel don't we'.
EricTheOrange: last arc of Deathnote syndrom
DrLigmaPhD: Their story seems neatly buttoned up unfortunately
definenull: I feel like this story ended where it needed to be
KeytarCat: I want to see K and P more...
laundreydhull: Funky worldbuilds & likeness etc.(?)
TheMerricat: IIRC there is _more_ story in the post-game but at the end of it, the story has pretty much been 100% wrapped up.
definenull: Wouldn't mind comic spinoffs
PMAvers: I think that's why Persona 5 Strikers worked, since it uses the cast's character growth to help others.
Cptasparagus: a la borderlands?
mayman_: I love these characters mostly because of their interactions, I'm fine with seeing more of them
Simonark: The Valkyria Chronicles approach
Bionull: Gotta checkout 808's Counterattack
ReachW: Would like to see a like, "10 years later" kinda thing with this world yeah
couchboyj: The Metroid approach doesn't work well when your characters are actually characters.
mtvcdm: Chai could come back having to go handle some sort of thing, the rest of the cast could hang back at Vandelay... everyone else new.
Boopity: Twoowee
ReachW: we pwaying twewy
definenull: Uwu?
SaxPython:
@ReachW 
BrowneePoints: Isnt the twewy sequel also a prequel?
ReachW: I liked how Beat was brought in in NEO but then Neku kinda takes over the last third, yeah.
Boopity: @BrowneePoints That sounds like TWEWY alright
silenceaux: They are a pretty iconic feature in Edmonton, but it could have just as easily been the Louvre?
GredGredmansson: @BrowneePoints it is not
CAKHost: Thanks for the stream! Good night everyone.
ReachW: @BrowneePoints Nah, takes place about 3 years after the original, I think.
TheMerricat: So it's hard looking up info on the house band for this because there was appearently already a semi-famous band called The Glass Pyramids in the 70-80's era and any info on 'bands' named The Glass Pyramids goes to them while any search restricted to HiFi Rush _and_ The Glass Pyramids just point to wiki articles about the game and it's sound track...
definenull: Uh oh
SocraticMethod: So welcome to NG+
TheMerricat: Hey! he got his legs back!
mtvcdm: Dress-up!
OmnipotentTrevor: And more importantly, Dress up!
definenull: Left shark time?
Juliamon: We know what we're doing now!
Boopity:
Gamer mode 
SocraticMethod: Rhytm Tower is like Bloody Palace; 100 levels of endurance and you get currency on succeeding in it.
laundreydhull: So elevator music?
Boopity: Tight!
definenull: We did just murder her brother....
SocraticMethod:
@definenull not that anyone cares about it
Boopity:
laundreydhull: Sheesh, a dinner or a movie first? Lawl...
Boopity: Every friend group needs a himbo
PMAvers: Especially one who totally didn't do his part during college group work projects.
Snowcookies: where fourth wall
definenull: Cnmn broke it a long time ago
Boopity: Is she mansplaining his own character arc to him? Amazing
laundreydhull: Brick The Wall, Chai

Awaiko:
Morning lrr folks, morning chat squad 
Boopity: Morning @Awaiko !
definenull: And "fix chai"
ReachW: The delivery on these lines is impeccable, jeez
Pteraspidomorphi: This is the equip screen
PMAvers: You have to go to the Store down in the lower-right to buy new stuff
ReachW: Store on RT, I think.
Boopity: Fashion update: There is no fashion
definenull: yeeeeeess
Pteraspidomorphi: I agree
laundreydhull: Oh, hey. It's that cat from that "Disney's Aristocrats"
SocraticMethod: To make 2D-transitions work
laundreydhull: *cats
DaxStrife: They do. And some cutscenes.
OmnipotentTrevor: They didn't want you to burn all your gears and be unable to upgrade
Anaerin: They definitely *do* go into game. And all the 3D cutscenes.
SocraticMethod: chat demands suit for korsica!
NightValien28:
suit korsica 
Invitare: Astral 808
laundreydhull: We do!?
BusTed:
SaxPython: 1 wolf moon
Anaerin: Remember to LT to equip.
SocraticMethod: @LoadingReadyRun If you got the deluxe edition you got clothing options from the start. They show in all the 3D sections and cutscenes but not in 2D animations
SquareDotCube: Oh, jacket and shirt are separate
Sarah_Serinde: SocraticMethod They do read chat, you don't need to @ them
terribleplan: Match the cat, purple
mtvcdm: Oh, the diamond pants are so bad, yes
Diabore: bell bottoms go with the shirt imo
Boopity: YES
SocraticMethod: @Sarah_Serinde Sorry, usually use @ to direct. Will do better next time
SaxPython: I wish I could rock those yellow pants
SquareDotCube: I guess no pants is an option
ReachW: Left Shark
Pteraspidomorphi: Left Shark
definenull: Left shark!
Diabore: i cant believe how much left shark spread tbh
laundreydhull:
LRRShark Emote when 
!?
NightValien28: we all looking for the guy who did this
Boopity: Oh my god
laundreydhull: Nah, it's all about LRRShark now.
definenull: Excellent
Dog_of_Myth: Perfection
PMAvers: I think you get some more costume options off challenges too.
Boopity: The eye behind the mouth are chef's kiss
Invitare: I feel like Chai IS being paid but doesn't realise it
ArcOfTheConclave: is Chai working for exposure/
Snowcookies: that shark has 4 eyes
laundreydhull: What did he say about payroll again?
NightValien28: laundreydhull he ain't getting any
SocraticMethod: See, unpaid intern work. Roxanne is normal CEO
ReachW: oh they updated the game to include collectible counters that's so good!
a_Weakling: is this new game plus?
LeeshaJoy: The talk sprite doesn't have the shark suit on? I want my money back.
SocraticMethod: @a_Weakling Sort of, you can re-do levels from level select
ReachW: NG+ postgame.
definenull: Scrub is my fav "minor" bot
SocraticMethod: You get all the abilities from start IIRC
Diabore: a little too torial
ReachW: yep
Travilogue: It should tell you what areas the rooms are in?
ReachW: but it does still tutorialise a good bit
PMAvers: Yeah, it won't say SPECTRA there if the level doesn't have a door.
Pteraspidomorphi:
ArrestedHouse: LuL
mtvcdm: You.... you okay there Heather
terribleplan: This is so good
definenull: Excellent
theoculusdragon_yt_gd1234:
TherapyforNarwhals: THE HAT
ReachW: The best one is the pre-Mimosa scene, where Chai takes off the left shark suit to reveal another left shark suit
definenull: Aww sadly the hammerhead occludes the cat
laundreydhull: But we saw one at the Lava levels...
laundreydhull: The first time?
Boopity: It wouldn't be a proper rhythm game if there wasn't SILLY costumes
SocraticMethod: If one re-play's Track 3, one can kill the Z-shielded enemy that BORFed Chai previously. There is an easter egg about that
Bionull: Shark Boy and Lava Girl 5
ReachW:
bit late there, Pep.
LordZarano:
laundreydhull:
Diabore:
oh we still have acces to corsica
jpost042: floating 808 with the hat is great
SocraticMethod: @Diabore Yep! Access to everything
Boopity: Rip linear causality
laundreydhull: Wait, is there a hypothetical paradox between Korsica's- wait, nvm. That probably why her boss fight is specifically Parrying...
mtvcdm: I wonder if, when you reach the Korsica fight, there's anything they put in for using her to fight herself.
Invitare: the fight against Korsica is parry only
NightValien28: gotta keep the joints clean
Invitare: so you can't use her against herself
definenull: Friendly spar match?
ReachW: oh and in case anyone was interested, you can parry the barriers.
laundreydhull: @mtvcdm no, cuz her fight is different from the other bosses.
Pteraspidomorphi: mtvcdm: There are little easter eggs for when you sequence break the companions
SocraticMethod: @mtvcdm Nope, I think Verse 3 is only one that references NG+
chaostreader: Oh. Ian could redeem himself and catch Korsica at the end of her fight.
Boopity: Honey, the shark's on fire
Anubis169: Stop! Hammertime!
DaxStrife: Agreed; being perfect in the game should be a personal goal, not a requirement for progress.
Anubis169:
TO ATLANTIS!! 
SocraticMethod: Speaking of updates, one of the "recent" updates added photo mode. It also includes poses and support characters
mtvcdm: You can't mako me, Heather
PharaohBender27: I dunno, Heather sounds fishy there . . .
Anubis169: Heather reelin' 'em in
Boopity: Fintastic
mtvcdm: I think it was toward the boss room.
SocraticMethod: Chai is air-cooled like VW Beetle. If he stops moving and starts thinking he overheats his brain.
chaostreader: It was after a rest stop room.
terribleplan: Wasn't it kinda before that reception area?
WiJohn: Seems a little out of tuna...
PharaohBender27:
@WiJohn 
definenull:
PharaohBender27: Are we just doing this battle for the halibut?
SAJewers: !badadvice
LRRbot: Flunge!
SaxPython:
definenull: !advice
LRRbot: Don't knock zombies towards your friends.
Juliamon: "Stand in the fire" is in there
LordZarano:
laundreydhull: !box
LRRbot: In the box is: Boss Juice
mtvcdm: We have "stand in the fire"
Manae: Swim in the Lava?
EricTheOrange: flame frotardent polymascotfomalite.
ReachW: I dunno if melted polyester is the problem I'd be focused on after jumping into magma
mtvcdm: We also have "Magic the fire"
WiJohn: @PharaohBender27 Seems like we're floundering a bit
TheAinMAP:
LordZarano: !findquote lava
LRRbot: Quote #1404: "Wait, is that lava? It looks like Alphagetti. I don't want to fall in the Alphagetti." —Alex [2014-01-17]
mtvcdm: We ALSO have "Try parrying the fire"
SocraticMethod: Does the molten rock here count as laval or magma? It's underground but not being pushed in a rock channel
ReachW: I believe Peppermint specifically "um actuallys" that it's magma
Dog_of_Myth:
Boopity: Powerful
GhostValv: T
definenull: assert dominance
Boopity: Video games can be good
laundreydhull: Oh, I remember now. One thing they never got to do in the game, operate a Forklift.
definenull:
Welp game ruined 0/10
laundreydhull: That was mentioned in the first stream.
mtvcdm: Oh, btw, did anyone catch what Korsica's password for Spectra was? Would you like to guess.
SocraticMethod: And thank the maker for that. Imagine Chai with a fork lift. No survivors in the 500 mile radius.
PMAvers: Oh yeah, in the post-game there's also some new supers, including the most powerful melee attack: a strike from 808.
SocraticMethod: @mtvcdm Chat did
laundreydhull: @mtvcdm Password
1 raiders from warpig_mint have joined!
Sarah_Serinde: @mtvcdm People were talking about it in chat at the time
mtvcdm: Okay good
laundreydhull: That's it.
PharaohBender27: Ahoy-hoy, raiders!
SocraticMethod: I love how in verse 3 the "double rift" get beach boys -like riff
DaxStrife: The spinning shark at the end is majestic.
terribleplan: Rhythm heaven?
SocraticMethod: No, rhytm heaven is the other game
Juliamon: Rhythm Heaven is a different game
ReachW: thanks @terribleplan
Boopity:
laundreydhull:
Ummmm, yea. Don't fret it ...
SaxPython: Lol, I was also going to make the same rhythm heaven joke but I type more slowly
SocraticMethod: This is the door players don't have access the first time
Boopity:
What's a fourth one to the pile?
ReachW: Release on 2 and 4.
SocraticMethod: One last Reverb segment and the shape is revealed: a guitar!

Pteraspidomorphi: I think it's just left of entrance here
Earthenone: chat, saying go left?
ReachW: Pretty sure this one's through the reception area?
mtvcdm: No, no, left of the boss room. You had it last time.
ReachW: Oh, after the test rooms actually.
Pteraspidomorphi:
Yes, the low door is canonically fake
SocraticMethod: I think that lower plarform is fake
