 MAPBoardgames: Thanks @jacqui_lantern234 !
 SmithKurosaki: I just realised why this souned familiar. iirc this was played during electronic AFK
 DigitalSeahorse: eat the rich!
 SmithKurosaki: @jacqui_lantern234 YOURE LOVED, NERD

 Fruan: tetric?
 SmithKurosaki: Also,  Keytae
 DigitalSeahorse: lol
 jacqui_lantern234: @SmithKurosaki roses are red, violets are blue, shut the fuck up, no u
 CAKHost: @LizErin I think in-movie, the characters are trying to take what is going on seriously, but for us the audience we are supposed to enjoy the corniness of the movie.
 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 azureHaights: If you paint a panorama of a brothel is that a dominatrych
 TheDangerWaffle: LMAO
 Akaiatana: The long-sigh episode
 CaptainSpam: You know, your friend, Nnnnnnalex.
 drcthulu: Ian is very bad at remembering names
 HadesLeprechaun: hot springs with monke is better!
 drcthulu: but can describe them very well
 jacqui_lantern234: hey now, paul, dont sell ian short! hes bad at MANY things 
 kusinohki: inn at the end
 MAPBoardgames: I like this game. It can be played very friendly-like. Or it can be played cutthroat.
 s1ck1y: hungie speedrun
 Akaiatana: @Alex Gotta Go Fast]
 DigitalSeahorse: cleanest person as in took the most baths I'm guessing
 kirbytronic: There is in one of the expansions actually, Alex!
ArcLightningCanuck: In the expansion there's a fasting bonus card.
 SmithKurosaki: @jacqui_lantern234 
 TheDangerWaffle: That doesn't sound like a good time. Enlightened, maybe, but very hungry
 jacqui_lantern234: @s1ck1y thanks, now i have tea in my nose 
JoeKim: first in the inn first to eat
   LoadingReadyRun:  we did play the digital version of this as a CtS a few years ago
 DigitalSeahorse: in the inn
 DigitalSeahorse: last is first
 DigitalSeahorse: nope
JoeKim: mega golf
 LordZarano: Inside you there are 2 golfs
JoeKim: it's a beautifully made game. one of my favorites
Tempest2097: Simply gorgeous art
Tempest2097: Just... just dang good
 SmithKurosaki: @LoadingReadyRun Thank you for confirming 
JoeKim: theoretically. you can be done in 4 turns. but your score will be lowwwww
Phazon_Kiwi: I've played this, it can be surprisingly cut throat
 MAPBoardgames: Fat stacks of cash!
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 jacqui_lantern234: you mean every time he drops on INN?!?!?!?!
Science_and_Magic: Umegae?
 jacqui_lantern234: AHAHAHAHAHA im not funny
 BrowneePoints: wait
 MAPBoardgames: Umegae the highwayman
 DigitalSeahorse: the money farm
Science_and_Magic: I feel like there's a pun there with Matt picking that character name
 BrowneePoints: Maple the Street Entertainter?
 BrowneePoints: Entertainer*
 HadesLeprechaun: BIG jump
Tempest2097: The cards you buildup do make a full painting
 couchboyj: Jumpy boy
 NewtyNewts: Youknowme
 azureHaights: Yeah we know you
 couchboyj: My wife likes to do the shopping strat
 couchboyj: And she always wins.  More when she gets Zen 
 HadesLeprechaun: I missed a big chunk, but Alex knows that he can now go twice in a row if he wishes?
ArcLightningCanuck: You are jumping so many spaces!
 HadesLeprechaun: what Matt just said, yea
saucemaster5000: I'm late! How many onsen episodes ave I missed?
 MAPBoardgames: @saucemaster5000 just in time for the first
saucemaster5000: yaay
 couchboyj: Did Matt meet a monkey?

 SmithKurosaki: @saucemaster5000 I wanna know when the beach episode is
Cptasparagus: they all dated the same person in the past
  Juliamon: Lots of tiny shops
 RealGamerCow: it's like that electronics shop in shibuya(?) that the guy has to go under the counter to get into and has no room to sit
 mercano82: The shop is in a rough neighborhood.  The shopkeeper only lets one person in at a time so they can keep an eye on them and prevent shoplifting.
 HadesLeprechaun: Ian is jumping so many spaces, wow
 BrowneePoints: @Science_and_Magic probably, but it's pronounced oo-may-gah-ay
 couchboyj: The sequal to this is about running fishing boats.  I assume thats the beach episode.
 duckace11: isn't the beach episode just the ocean panorama
 BrowneePoints: err well, Oo-meh-gah-eh. it's an "ay' but more vertical glottal placement

 Akaiatana: Buying clothes as a wintertime activity.
 NewtyNewts: Are all points public, or are there things you do as hidden points?
 HadesLeprechaun: I thought Ian got mountain?
 NewtyNewts: Yeah, Ian stopped by the mountain
ArcLightningCanuck: green on mountain
 DigitalSeahorse: mmmmmmmm
 jacqui_lantern234: now i want tempura!
 DigitalSeahorse: lol
Shadowsoflife: This is way I eat during streams
 DigitalSeahorse: tempera painting of tempura
saucemaster5000: Galaxy brain? Tempura batter and fry an entire oil painting
 HadesLeprechaun: did Ian do his character ability?
 NewtyNewts: Did Ian take another panorama, or did they recognize he was there already?

KeytarCat: Matt couldn't get the panorama because Ian was on it.  Matt thought they moved the piece and reset it to the wrong space (they didn't know the panorama step was there"
 kirbytronic: The artist is really good at completing at least two out if three
 NewtyNewts: It burns real nice right now
 NewtyNewts: Only montana
 corianderd: my parents evacuated. it's great.
Yosiel_: Hello my travel pertners!
 RealGamerCow: We've got a lot of haze from the fires in New England
saucemaster5000: I wonder which part of the painting was made up at the inn?
 NewtyNewts: @corianderd My condolences and hope they're doing well
Yosiel_: Oh it's so nice to see the base game
 Fruan: ALEX
Yosiel_: yeah the bonus!
Science_and_Magic: EW! ALEX!
 NewtyNewts: Affinity for Monkey sounds like that one MTG card
 Alas_Babylon: Affinity for Monkey (This spring costs $1 less to enter for each monkey it controls.)
 BrowneePoints: Monkey Reserve? So Adam's Chat?
saucemaster5000: they - ya beat me to it @BrowneePoints  
 Akaiatana: Wow, they did the thing they were asked not to do. It's twitter!
 BrowneePoints: Yea it's like the idiot kids who beat their chest at gorillas, and then scream and cry when they aggressively attack the enclosure glass
Tempest2097: Do not provoke monkeys or apes
 iiieye: Especially humans
  Juliamon: Also do not provoke humans
 NewtyNewts: Does panorama cost money to do?
Tempest2097: ESPECIALLY HUMANS
 KBKarma: The temple is a *great* thing to sink money into.
 DarkMorford: Geta gud scrub
 HadesLeprechaun: @KBKarma especially when everyone else skips them!
 KBKarma: @NewtyNewts Nope, you just need to land on the right spot.
 Akaiatana: A rain gully
Tempest2097: A ravine?
 BrowneePoints: has Alex or Ian seen the Dango animation from Monster Hunter Rise?
saucemaster5000: To improve the flavor, I'm sure
 dougma: ravine?
 Driosenth: creak?
 iiieye: Ravine?
 NewtyNewts: Guess Alex could've stopped there on the way past
 The_Color_Twelve: wait that sounds familiar
 KBKarma: A crick?
 LordZarano: Riverbed?
 underhill33: canyon?
 The_Color_Twelve: I think I've seen a video of that
 BrowneePoints: Speaking of Dango https://youtu.be/gth2C14Eins?t=3
 DigitalSeahorse: me too
 TheMerricat: Evening chat, how goes the trip?
 KBKarma: Except more effective.
Science_and_Magic: Is the piece drawn in crayon from crayons at the restaurant in the inn?
theonlybarber: Yooo this is one of my favorite board game let's goooo!
Science_and_Magic: The children's menus and colouring book?
 HadesLeprechaun: you can do multiples of the same sets, they just start over from the point values
 NewtyNewts: Bear, or Tanuki?
Shadowsoflife: Yes
ArcLightningCanuck: Don't you need to keep the encounter cards so you know who met the most people at the end?
 NewtyNewts: Not a monke
 KBKarma: Something I like about this game is that you can double check your point at the end.
 KBKarma: @ArcLightningCanuck ... Yeah, you're right.
 Akaiatana: You've seen moist of the country
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 LordZarano: @Akaiatana 
 NewtyNewts: @Akaiatana Wet're you talking about?
Shadowsoflife: @Akaiatana 
4 raiders from patch_witch have joined!
ArcLightningCanuck: Is Ian the only one who tucked his encounter card back?

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Nadriachi! (Today's storm count: 16)
 KBKarma: Water we doing here, lad?
 KBKarma: *lads
 KBKarma: Nope. Matt has as well.
ArcLightningCanuck: Chatterbox achievement?
 HadesLeprechaun: you can only do each panorama once
 HadesLeprechaun: in fact you cant even stop on those spaces any more
 KBKarma: Are they putting the hot spring cards back as well?
 BrowneePoints: yes
 kirbytronic: Yup. Unless you're playing the expansion, you can't stop on a panorama you've completed
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 RealGamerCow: oh there were some of those in the Sakuraco box a few months ago
 DigitalSeahorse: sugar
 BrowneePoints: the Susuwatari have Konpeito in Spirited Away
 kusinohki: stellvia....  ack he got there
ArcLightningCanuck: Well, the achievement bonuses are going to be interesting . . .
 DarkMorford: Chewbacca?
 maestrith: I have never seen this game before, is it one trip through or can they go through multiple times?
  Juliamon: Everyone forgets about Stellvia. It was neat though.
 KBKarma: One trip.
 HadesLeprechaun: @maestrith one trip
 maestrith: @KBKarma  thanks 
 DigitalSeahorse: inn is so in
 maestrith: @HadesLeprechaun thanks 
 BrowneePoints: So yes Alex is remembering the Konpeito scene correctly
 DigitalSeahorse: feesh
 kusinohki: there's a variant(?) where you can play the game traveling 'backwards'
 DigitalSeahorse:  
 DigitalSeahorse: aww carp
 azninsect: 
Tempest2097: Pro-tip, don't eat it
 DigitalSeahorse:  
 couchboyj: One of the expansions adds bonus cards you can get after finishing panoramas
 DigitalSeahorse: heheheh
saucemaster5000: well at least it's good for keto
 DigitalSeahorse: lying plausibly
 KBKarma: 
 HadesLeprechaun: Matt, you keep the people you meet
 NewtyNewts: A day's wage
 HadesLeprechaun: you need to know how many for end scoring
 KBKarma: Yeah. And hot springs cards.
 maestrith: charmed with a sword.
spawnofhastur: Sometimes I wonder if Ian has a filter between his mouth and brain. And, if so, whether it filters out the normal things rather than the strange things.
 couchboyj: road
ArcLightningCanuck: Okay, Matt is going to get Chatterbox achievement regardless. Bather is Alex, maybe?
 KBKarma: Nope. You are obliged to give.
 HadesLeprechaun: you do actually have to give it
 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 TheDangerWaffle: Lmao
 DigitalSeahorse: mmmmm not this anything but mmmm this
 jacqui_lantern234: lmao thats real good
 KBKarma: Items is good for points if you can swing 'em.
 DigitalSeahorse: washi washi
 DigitalSeahorse: origami
saucemaster5000: (unfortunately that mechanic means when I play this with friends it very rarely devolves into people going more than one space ahead... the points simply do not work out that big jumps are worth it)
Dalrint subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 37 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Dalrint! (Today's storm count: 17)
 BrowneePoints: ah yes the cover of Hold on Loosely, Chew this Softly
 kusinohki: chew this softly - but don't swallow ??
 NewtyNewts: So-BAAdy
 DarkMorford: BODY
 KBKarma: Yup!
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 DigitalSeahorse: I like that it looks like a map
 HadesLeprechaun: being able to do a little bit of everything
 DigitalSeahorse: sort of
Science_and_Magic: Matt has been OP on AFK lately
 NewtyNewts: The meeting people on the road and getting free things and extra bonuses
 DigitalSeahorse: budgeting probably is part of it
 KBKarma: Which is my cue to go to bed. See yez in the VOD!
 HadesLeprechaun: Matt finished a bit of everything which generally translates to a lot of points, hitting more spots almost always means more points
 DigitalSeahorse:  goes all the way into the inn
saucemaster5000: yeah... this game is very pretty and very chill, but as soon as you start digging into mechanic there's not much there. slower is just better
Yosiel_: More tokaido??
 jacqui_lantern234: @DigitalSeahorse all the way INN?!?!?! 
 HadesLeprechaun: @DigitalSeahorse yeah, missing a meal at any inn is bad as its a 6 point loss
Yosiel_: are you gonna do the return trip?
 DigitalSeahorse: Innto the innards
   LoadingReadyRun: I think we are going to try a return trip, ya
 DigitalSeahorse: I'm wearing my roadquest shirt
 DarkMorford: Time for Fromkaido, I guess 
 LordZarano: Neutron comes from neutral which comes from latin "ne uter" meaning "not either". Nutrient comes from latin for breastfeeding
 kirbytronic: I have the expansion and the fancy edition which is neat. I wish I was better at mini painting to paint all the characters
Yosiel_: woohoo I only done it once so I don't know in what it varies exactly but you are already pro travelers it seems
MaxLSilver subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 52 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, MaxLSilver! (Today's storm count: 18)
 HadesLeprechaun: @saucemaster5000 With a group of very familiar players it can be interesting though because choosing when to take that one extra movement jump becomes hugely important, and choosing when and how much to drop into the temples vs spending elsewhere
Yosiel_: @kirbytronic is the expansion worth it? I only play it once over at BGA and I found it confusing
 kirbytronic: @yosiel_ It's not that hard once you're used to it, it just adds an option for each spot. And a bunch of new characters and abilities
saucemaster5000: @saucemaster5000 this is totally true - a one point move ahead can be massive at the right time, but playing a forty minute game with maybe one interesting decision is unfortunate. Still, it's fun and chill, and we still get it out sometimes, so not really hating. So pretty too!
 kirbytronic: But I enjoy it a lot
Yosiel_: yeah the characters confused me... the sumo wrestler and I think a fisher? oh boy
 kirbytronic: Most of them are straightforward, but some can take a minute to figure out
 kirbytronic: Most are like the main game. Like there's one that just always leaves the inn first. He has a big club
 DarkMorford: Wouldn't the guy who likes clubbing want to stay at the inn longer? 
Yosiel_: thanks Kirby if I ever see the expansion I will think it more
Yosiel_: btw any AFK Loremasters here? What happened with Mansions of Madness?
Yosiel_: it's one of my fav boardgames
  Juliamon: https://wiki.loadingreadyrun.com/index.php/AFK
Yosiel_: afaik they only played 2 missions and I hear they had expansion boxes for it
  Juliamon: It kinda got waylayed by the pandemic
 badpandabear: I think they played another during a table top day.
  Juliamon: I'm sure they'll get back to it eventually
 kirbytronic: @yosiel_ They've played it at least 3 times, and it's kind of complicated/long game so it got a bit waylaid
 SnackPak_: goats AND pup pics
 DigitalSeahorse:   
 LaconicLad: Which one do I shoot first?
saucemaster5000: I know Ben was particularly keen, to the point of playing at home, but they have a LOT of games to play on AFK
 Twilight_Spark: A Board Game Tale by LRR.
Yosiel_: OH the long way?
 shurtal: GGS Ian
 DarkMorford: HORNER
Tempest2097: Well played.
 jacqui_lantern234: IAN HORNER
 LadyAiluros: ian plz
Shadowsoflife: 
 LadyAiluros: ian in rare form tonight
 DigitalSeahorse: 
Yosiel_: @kirbytronic I need to find the 3 lost video I guess lol
  Juliamon: The discord can probably help you with that
 DigitalSeahorse:  
Yosiel_: !discord
  LRRbot: LRR has an official Discord server! And you don't even need to be subbed or anything! You can join here: https://discord.gg/lrr
Yosiel_: thank you
 jacqui_lantern234: is alex going to the soup store?! if so, id like some clothes 
 BrowneePoints: noooo
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 BrowneePoints: Naruto does a Ramen Ian
 lirazel64: Naruto is a whi
 lirazel64: Naruto is a whirlpool
saucemaster5000: Oh they really missed a trick with Jiraiya not teaching Naruto the Ramen-gan
 jacqui_lantern234: @BrowneePoints i believe it 
 TheMerricat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXCrch_NyKk - Mansions of Madness played in 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pa3FAYPWbg - Mansions of Madness played in 2019. From a quick google search.
 BrowneePoints: RAMEN-GAN! *noodles explode out of hand*
 DarkMorford: Elite Miko?
Yosiel_: did that I watched those
 jacqui_lantern234: Hatsuke Miko? 
   LoadingReadyRun:  Mansion of Madness would be fun to play again
 shurtal: Heart-a-yak ak ak ak, you oughta know by nooooow.
 jacqui_lantern234: @LoadingReadyRun you should get both Matt Griffiths and Wiggins to join! that way you can title the stream "Mansion of MATTness"
saucemaster5000: MoM is also hard because it's tough to fit in a 3-hour slot. Same with The Arkham Horror : Card Game, which is best at 2 players, has a campaign, and games last based on missions between 2 and 4 hours without streamer debuff
Shadowsoflife: @LoadingReadyRun ysbrydPunjail
 Pal_Friendpatine: I wonder how fun it would be for LRR to play the Jurassic Park legacy game?
Yosiel_: @LoadingReadyRun If time or lack of perfect escenarios is somewhat the problem the fan app offers a lot of cool missions for it and also a more accurate difficulty rating and time lenght.
RealGamerCow: "mostly hungry" - stares at Miko
   LoadingReadyRun:  I would definitely like for us to get around to Arkham Horror at some point.
 yalc321: Is Alex's score right?
 jacqui_lantern234: @LoadingReadyRun and i would definitely like for you to know that youre loved AGGRESSIVELY!!!!!! 
 yalc321: No U Jacqui
RvLeshrac: There's a soundtrack for Tokaido now.
 yalc321: Oh good, that was going to bother me
 HadesLeprechaun: that is a neat part of the game, that you can double check your score at any time
RvLeshrac: ?
 kusinohki: "I know where money comes from!  just push the buttons on the ATM!"
saucemaster5000: Took a tour of the U.S. Mint the year before the Panini... might be my age showing but that was incredibly interesting!
   LoadingReadyRun: I'm not quite sure why they don't just have you total up the score at the end, rather then tracking it the who way through
 shurtal: Eiffel 65 did Dog of Wisdom, i will not be convinced otherwize
 HadesLeprechaun: knowing who is currently in the lead lets the other players collaborate to stop them/catch up, if players play this more competitively
ChaoticObserver: @saucemaster5000 Nah, I did the engraving and printing tour in DC, that was quite a process
Yosiel_: @LoadingReadyRun well... dog piling might be an strategy if someone is too much on the way
LizErin: @LoadingReadyRun During regular gameplay I think that's how it is. TTracking it during, is so that we (the audience) can see how people are doing
 BrowneePoints: There's a lot
Yosiel_: it's like a rochester draft to cut the spots
 v_nome: I saw one recently about apparently 1 in 8 men thinks they could win a point off Serena Williams. Insane.
 RealGamerCow: there's a poll about bears too.
Tempest2097: I could fight a human, if it came down to it, but I wouldn't want to.
Gadora: @Tempest2097 Same.
Tempest2097: And even then I would be at a disadvantage
 RealGamerCow: Left turn, Clyde!
saucemaster5000: I love that everyone understands exactly what the librarian says, despite it always being "ook ook"
 shurtal: Matt Leblanc
 SnackPak_: 
 shurtal: Any Which Way but Loose
Chesul: I could probably win a fight with a chimp, but it would cost me at least a broken arm, likely more.
 BrowneePoints: Counterpoint, Humans CAN fight a lot of monkeys, and even Gibbons and win, the PROBLEM, is that's only on a theoretical level if someone's fight or flight instincts overwhelmed conscious thinking
 BrowneePoints: But Apes? No. People lose out against other Apes every time
 lirazel64: Not to mention Bedtime for Bonzo.
Tempest2097: It's because our muscles are soft and springy to make us better long term runners and fighters
 DigitalSeahorse: dangit my modem better stay online now
saucemaster5000: Huge shout out to "Top Dog" -- Chuck Norris is the good cop, the dog is the roguish cop who has literal movie flashbacks to his partner and is out for revenge
 shurtal: like the movie Face/Off?
Tempest2097: We're good at long term persistence hunting
 fiftymcnasty: That was an Orangutan and it was 1978
 BrowneePoints: @Tempest2097 Humans are incredibly powerful, it's just Conscious Willingness
 BrowneePoints: and Apes are Dilt Bifferent
 Driosenth: If you're in a pinch, pinch one out?
 iiieye: The answer is 50bmg
 SnackPak_: I'd watch that
saucemaster5000: Better casting, honestly
 DigitalSeahorse: watching the baby monkies learning is the best
 BrowneePoints: like, Chimps, Orangutans and Gorillas are LITERALLY built different.
Tempest2097: I look at great apes and I see such humanity in them.
 TheMerricat: I like that immediately Nic Cage is the monkey, no hesitation on having John as the monkey....
Tempest2097: They're SO like us.
 RealGamerCow: I saw that movie *in the theater*
 midnightcurryjazz: its going to be....smoggy
saucemaster5000: I still think the perfect Face/Off sequel would be Nicolas Cage again, vs..... Nicolas Cage.... with a mustache!
 fiftymcnasty: Hey, Orangutan are much more docile
 BrowneePoints: my FAVE biology tidbit is for quite some time people that humans had a weak bite force because our muscles aren't attached like other apex predators. HOWEVER, they found out recently that mathematically our bites are INCREDIBLY efficient and actually quite strong
 BrowneePoints: WOO BIOLOGY!
Tempest2097: You keep almost anything humid long enough...
 DigitalSeahorse: atatatataaa
 DigitalSeahorse: woooo
 BrowneePoints: ATATATATA What A!?
 DigitalSeahorse: tatata-tata-tatata
saucemaster5000: Careful, game causes serious brain explosions
 DarkMorford: At 6:00, Ian? Did you switch time slots with Wheeler?
 DigitalSeahorse:  
   LoadingReadyRun:  I feel like a lot of biology research is humans trying to make themselves feel like they're not the worst animal
 DigitalSeahorse: 
saucemaster5000: It's surprisingly clever and a lot of fun!
Yosiel_: @LoadingReadyRun you are into something with that idea
avi_miller: That is clever honestly
saucemaster5000: I love when he plays lesser Beatles songs and people are like "....nah...."
avi_miller: Also, you don’t smoke Coca-Cola, you shoot it
 DigitalSeahorse: back to the inn for another inning
 DigitalSeahorse: HAHA
saucemaster5000: oh that's gooooood
 HadesLeprechaun: there and back again just gives you lots of time to finish the panoramas, meaning they're safer to skip on your first run
 BrowneePoints: @LoadingReadyRun I double checked, oldest Japanese Coins  apparently are 7th Century Silver Mumonginsen, and Copper Alloy Fuhonsen which are apparently Leaded Bronze?
 DigitalSeahorse: nobody understands my references
 LordZarano: @LoadingReadyRun The thing that separates humans from other animals is that humans do biology research
avi_miller: And then he goes and meets the cast members and they are just confused
 DigitalSeahorse: leaded bweh
Tempest2097: DO NOT LEAD
Tempest2097: Just don't
Tempest2097: Do not a lead.
 DigitalSeahorse: 
  Juliamon: It's a miracle humans still exist
Shadowsoflife: ^
saucemaster5000: My B, Syphilis speaking again
avi_miller: ^
Tempest2097: ^
 DigitalSeahorse: thankfully? we reproduce faster than we die off usually
 DigitalSeahorse: :}
 DigitalSeahorse: 
Tempest2097: We also did not have the technology to destroy all of humanity for most of human history.
Tempest2097: Which is convenient, because I'm sure past civilizations would've used it
 DigitalSeahorse: *shuddders*
 SoldieroFortune: !uptime
  LRRbot: The stream has been live for 1:26:57.
 CAKHost: I've heard that a reason there are so many spoopy stories regarding lighthouses is because for the lens to spin, they actually have it sit in a vat of mercury? So the lighthouse keeper is exposed to this mercury pretty much whenever they are up in the lighthouse 
 DigitalSeahorse: hehe
 DigitalSeahorse: correct, Alex
Tempest2097: 2d6 for movement is so overdone
RvLeshrac: Roll & Move is... let's say "frowned upon" to be nice.
Tempest2097: "Roll doubles go agaaaaiiiin" Please come up with something better
 HadesLeprechaun: modern game designers have largely done away with dice for movement, but the hold classic Hasbro has on the game space is still strong
 DigitalSeahorse: coin flip
   LoadingReadyRun: @Tempest2097 Roll doubles and go to jail?
avi_miller: There have definitely been plenty of other chance creating devices over the years for games
 DigitalSeahorse: NO
RvLeshrac: Chance-based movement around a board is really just a great way to get your board game on the BGG Bottom 100.
Tempest2097: You know, I am never ever trustful of Macaques after playing Dwarf Fortress.
 BrowneePoints: ope yep
avi_miller: Never trust macaques
 BrowneePoints: Funforge is French
RvLeshrac: It works for Echidna Shuffle, though.
Tempest2097: They have stolen far too much from my forts.
Tempest2097: Batsu games!  I am One of Four
 DigitalSeahorse:  1 of 4
RvLeshrac: Hoping someone at LRR backed Let's Go To Japan
 Raincoast_Bear: One our Favorite games. Enjoy!
 DigitalSeahorse: the haunted episodes are fun
 DigitalSeahorse: INNnnnnnn
 DigitalSeahorse: sneeze  
 DigitalSeahorse: uhoh
Shadowsoflife: ???

saucemaster5000: who told Ian about my income source?
  Juliamon: oh, yeah, I would believe Alex has seen *that* series of gifs
 Driosenth: How were the eels "smuggled"?
 DigitalSeahorse: for food is where my mind went but only because I ate eel once from the UNI food court
 DEATHlikescats: Alex, noooo you’ve been on 4chan too long
 DigitalSeahorse: ^
   LoadingReadyRun: @Driosenth in a Hovercraft?
 DigitalSeahorse: 
saucemaster5000: @Driosenth goddamn it...
 DigitalSeahorse: I need to catch up on that
 DigitalSeahorse: it's not forbidden technique and it does actually work
 BrowneePoints: Sweet Sake would make an AMAZING Drag name
 DigitalSeahorse: origami paper can hold fluid for a bit
saucemaster5000: Sushi Rice is uncomplicated... and like all uncomplicated delicacies you can get SO into the weeds with it.
 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 DigitalSeahorse:  peel a garment? 
 DigitalSeahorse: the banana suit
 BrowneePoints: Torii
saucemaster5000: don't confuse a torii with a stargate
 BrowneePoints: Tori is Bird. Torii is the gate
 DigitalSeahorse: dang Toriis
   LoadingReadyRun:  btw, if you are curious as to how I move the play area back and forth in OBS, check out the LRRTech I streamed last weekend about my Nifty Crop Mover 
 DigitalSeahorse: always blocking ways
 DigitalSeahorse: love that song
 HadesLeprechaun: you cant move onto a panororama spot you've completed
Tempest2097: You're thinking of Jizz wailers potentially.
 DigitalSeahorse:  jammies jem?
Tempest2097: Which is a real and very canon thing
 fiftymcnasty: Oh God, he's drunk

 BrowneePoints: So would a Japanese Musician Star Wars Cosplayer be....Shami Skywalker? 
   LoadingReadyRun:  should have asked earlier, how's the music volume
 BrowneePoints: Charles Cornell Matt?
Tempest2097: Music volume is perfectly fine
 BrowneePoints: ah
saucemaster5000: The best part about Sonic Mania was the remakes of original sonic soundtracks that makes them sound lie your nostalgia thinks they sound like
Shadowsoflife: @BrowneePoints just don't ask them what the music is called
 LordZarano: "鳥居 (torii) Compound of 鳥 (tori, “bird”) + 居 (i, “abode”). From old legends about birds possessed by kami and sitting on tree branches."
   LoadingReadyRun: Imagine "I Get Wet" by Andrew WK is playing
saucemaster5000: bloody tourists
 BrowneePoints: chat y'all know there's more Star Wars music genres than just Jizz right?
 ThirtyCubicFeetOfSalsa: I know what ice-9 is actually a reference to, but remember that time Red Mage stuffed the elemental god of fire into a bag of holding and cast ice 9 into it?
saucemaster5000: that's honestly what the tokaido was though!
 SmithKurosaki: @BrowneePoints Its clearly the best though, with the only exception being the HU song from Fallen Order 
 HadesLeprechaun: "Note: A traveler who stops on a Temple space must donate at least 1 coin as an offering and cannot donate more than 3 coins." from the rules
 HadesLeprechaun: the italics text in the rulebook are also rules, weirdly
 BrowneePoints: @SmithKurosaki their in universe band name are the Agasar
RvLeshrac: Gonna charge you for the smell of the food.
RvLeshrac: I'm sure a well-heeled magistrate will only force you to pay the sound of money, though.
 SnackPak_: neat
 ThirtyCubicFeetOfSalsa: buckwheat pancakes: I would rather skip the prep time and just eat a cardboard box
 BrowneePoints: I love Udon
saucemaster5000: I love making udon. Excuse to step on food and say "That's how it's made alright???"
Science_and_Magic: ALEX!!!
 Strebenherz: Ian...
 BrowneePoints: oh you shush Alex

 Strebenherz: No regrets
Chesul: nah, this is exactly what I was hoping for when I said that Alex, you're amazing.
