Juliamon:
It's been a lovely day, thank you 
Juliamon: 78F, 40% humidity, I couldn't ask for more
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hey Kusinohki! One of my kitties registered their demand for dinner right as that popped up on my screen
Juliamon: It worked!!

RandomTrivia: Rekt
CAKHost: :c
kumatsu: Chat is the worst, it's true
Thefluffiestguineapig: @jacqui_lantern234 This makes me think of the clip from Among Us where Voxy got killed and then Graham got killed and she was haunting him
jacqui_lantern234:
ok, ill see myself out, Horner!!! 
TheMerricat: We are the most dangerous when you can't see us...
adept_nekomancer: Leaving us unattended? That's a bold move.
GhostValv: D:
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm not one of those
DaxStrife: When you can't see the chat, that's when they're most dangerous.
jacqui_lantern234: @Thefluffiestguineapig my friends agree that im at least as loud as voxy
TheMerricat: Heather you can't tell me that you didn't already know that chat was venomous you handle YouTube comments.

betweenmyself:
I for one am poisonous rather than venomous. You would do well to avoid ingesting me. 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @jacqui_lantern234 As a fellow very loud person I can say it is a blessing and a curse
Raiger:
Ian, going somewhere normal? That is WEIRD
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm just caustic
DaxStrife: "Rhythm Cafe: we went somewhere normal!"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @DaxStrife That would be our National Lampoon's Vacation
adept_nekomancer: As long as we didn't find Mozart: Requiem II
jacqui_lantern234:
@Thefluffiestguineapig but mostly just a curse. im under no illusion that im an annoyance to those around me 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @adept_nekomancer You read my mind
Juliamon: The variety of medications I take probably make me, if not poisonous, at least potentially hazardous to ingest.
AzureishDragoon: Backbeat? The word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @jacqui_lantern234 And as someone with extensive and strange neurodivergent hyper focused tendencies I also spout utterly weird hand brake turn things that made sense to me
OldUncleDan: Sailor Stars was that year.
CururuGuasu: I checked the official webpage for the game. It is deeply cursed. Big geocities energy
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon I know some of my meds make me more likely to be a medical school cadaver than a body for the body farms because of the accumulation of Nonsense
Electrodyne: Pygmy African hedgehogs are great. They run and poop and run and poop and sometimes swim

OldUncleDan: I still would love to have a Bobcat or Lynx.
betweenmyself: Should have gotten yourself an Eggperson
jacqui_lantern234: honestly, id love to have a pet pig. how big, you ask? the largest
LordZarano: @AzureishDragoon I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt

kumatsu: I was supposed to get a chinchilla but family never followed through
StringCheeseRiot:
DaxStrife: You call the wrong number, and suddenly you're in Hotline Miami.
adept_nekomancer: I guess this is how we had to tune guitars before the internet.
Juliamon: Ah, Wink 189, with their famous hits "Some of the Large Stuff"
Juliamon: and "I Know Precisely What My Age Is"
Alex_Frostfire: Glean Bay would be Green Day, by that logic.

jacqui_lantern234: @Juliamon DANGIT beat me to it
Mollylele: I have never heard of an actual Battle Of The Bands happening, I think movies made them up
Juliamon: Mollylele There's an actual one in my neighborhood, last night in fact
jacqui_lantern234: i was gonna say horror version of Nsburg
kusinohki: battle royale of the bands - 100 bands enter, only 1 leave
Mollylele: This discount "Green Onions" is great tho
cle0deen: I've been to a thing called a battle of the bands but there wasn't a winner
Mollylele: Pick Up the Pieces? OK!
OldUncleDan: Is this licensed music... Because that horn riff sounds very familiar.
SnackPak_: Warped Tours used to do a local battle of the bands thing
jacqui_lantern234: @Mollylele ive been to one, there was a solo artist who was awesome and won. everyone else didnt know how to volume their instruments properly
kusinohki: volume properly? you mean, set the amps to 11??
Mollylele: @Mollylele i feel this story in my bones ☠
Alex_Frostfire: My elementary school best friend's name was Stephanie.
OldUncleDan: As opposed to Stephanie, from Watts.
Juliamon: My second-ever best friend was a Stephanie
Juliamon: (my first was a Jennifer)
Electrodyne: I just go outside and start singing, and people with instruments walk up to me
egonomadic: i'm actually just three stephanies in a trench coat
OldUncleDan: How about 27 Jennifers?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon I'm resisting quoting a joke from a very early feed dump where they used the Heaps Free Shade hat
jacqui_lantern234: @kusinohki no. i mean the guitar was a 4, drums were a 5, vocals were an 8, bass was 99999999999999
v_nome: If on October 31st everybody wanted to break into a heavily choreographed dance routine while trick-or-treating that would be pretty sweet.
adept_nekomancer: Orange Lazarus: Our beverages refuse to die
OldUncleDan: Orange Augustus?
jacqui_lantern234:
@Mollylele i like to believe it to be a universal story 
Pteraspidomorphi: There is a lot of... dialogue...
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Electrodyne As someone who has a voice very ill suited to even soprano pop (it really barely works for musical theatre, just classical which is a blessing and a curse) that might lead to something hilarious
egonomadic: can't believe we've been punished for trying to play ddr
jacqui_lantern234: that *particular* awful band im talking about ruined Debaser by The Pixies for me
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, I had to feed my cats, do we move by play a rhythm game
jacqui_lantern234: im still mad about it 14 years later
adept_nekomancer: I notice our friend doesn't have to move around by frictionless musical sliding
Thefluffiestguineapig: I feel like this is just an adaptation of Hitchhiker's guide and Watts is Zaphod Beblebrox
jacqui_lantern234:
"one of them you go into" 
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is this just a Step Up video game
egonomadic: that phone is incredible
Juliamon: Wow, having a mobile phone in the 90s?
Juliamon: Fancy
egonomadic: "the pants not the birds" only at LRR
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can I have pants with a pocket dimension???
adept_nekomancer: We have hammerspace, but it only works for oversized 90's tech
Thefluffiestguineapig: I could really carry my stuff!!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also pockets in clothes made for female adjacent bodies are SHIT
Juliamon: #banfakepockets
OldUncleDan: Maroon Couderoy fo rme!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Really actually please
SnackPak_: I had some green cords in the 90s
egonomadic: if i'm buying something i care about the pockets in i get wildfang pants
jacqui_lantern234:
have you heard of courderoy pillows? apparently theyre making headlines!!!
egonomadic: their sizing is a little inconsistent though, but youc an't win em all
jacqui_lantern234: i should see myself out with that pun, shouldnt i?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I like the leggings made by Svaha because they have pockets that are a real size
egonomadic: if an arcade ISN'T a sort of labyrinth i'm definitely not leaving a good google review
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ian.......
jacqui_lantern234:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also if David
Thefluffiestguineapig: bowie isn't there bad review
egonomadic: one out of five stars, not enough david bowies
SaxPython: Yo! Cargo Bandolier
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also Heather for real look at Svaha, they have dresses, skirts and all kinds of stuff with real pockets
Thefluffiestguineapig: They do shipping but I don't know about to Canada
SaxPython:
OldUncleDan: Toshi looks like they would be an antagonist in some sort of Slice of Life School anime.
jacqui_lantern234:
Jacqui isnt going 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @OldUncleDan Or start as the antagonist
betweenmyself:
We just need to normalize the use toting around roll on luggage
SaxPython: @jacqui_lantern234 Same Fam. We can make a couch fort while they're gone
adept_nekomancer: This game needs to take a page from Artful Escape and have a dedicated jam button
Thefluffiestguineapig: I am not going to anything
Thefluffiestguineapig: @adept_nekomancer It's a charged ability that lets you vault over a single square object
SaxPython:
Pillow forts for everyone 
Thefluffiestguineapig: This actually is hilariously rad
Thefluffiestguineapig: I love how they sink things up
Thefluffiestguineapig: Food service: the externalization of the disdain of those with money for those without
DaxStrife: "Lo-Fi Beats to Become Enraged To."
betweenmyself: Heather: famously bothered by ubiquity.
jacqui_lantern234: @SaxPython ive only made 1 couch fort in my life, and it was a decent bit into my 20's
adept_nekomancer: Video rental store? Game wanted to be extra sure we knew this is the 90's
Thefluffiestguineapig: Until recently I didn't have a couch and only the seat cushions are removable, the back is sewn in
failbag: Please, more rhythm platformers like the bonus levels in Rayman
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yes, the remake fad being kver......
Thefluffiestguineapig: *over
Alex_Frostfire: Is that... TMNT but whales?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The disco balls!!!
jacqui_lantern234: lmao, i kinda love this bit
ShifuDaxiongmao:
when you gotta jam, you gotta jam 
kusinohki: "sukaban, but without the block pushing" just popped into my head...
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is another game where they have their tongue in cheek about the setting but are completely sincere about the music
googoltudoris: something something "huggy bear"
Thefluffiestguineapig: The replay makes it
adept_nekomancer: The replay makes us look like some sort of odd music gang. It works strangely well
jacqui_lantern234: yeah, it would seem kinda tedious without the replay
Thefluffiestguineapig: @adept_nekomancer Like someone saw West Side Story and said "hey, my jam band can do that!"
jacqui_lantern234:
im with ian on this, though my love for pickles comes from Spironolactone
jacqui_lantern234: though anchovies are a delight
betweenmyself: Like Scrooge McDuck in his Money Bin fun, but with anchovies…
RealGamerCow: my wife's favorite toppings are pineapple and anchovy
jacqui_lantern234: @RealGamerCow your wife is now my best friend
jacqui_lantern234:
i decree it!!!
RandomTrivia: WAT
Thefluffiestguineapig: I've actually never had anchovies but I do like pineapple and salty things
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also that sounds like a parody of what Scott said before he left for the Antarctic

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
SaxPython: neat
Thefluffiestguineapig: The infinite rewind is really forgiving here and I like that
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is another game where they know their goal and they aren't forcing in "normal" mechanics just because
RealGamerCow: This game is funktastic
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ian's singing is a perfect accompaniment
Thefluffiestguineapig: Unironically I think it fits well
ShifuDaxiongmao:
hey now, no disrespect to a good round of air-drumming
RealGamerCow: Do we know Watts' and Toshi's pronouns?
SaxPython: I understand the room is the "puzzle", but this has "can't climb chest high walls" vibes.
jacqui_lantern234: Tony has a punchable face
ShifuDaxiongmao:
Tony is annoying, obnoxious, hard to get rid off... he must be a lead guitar 
ShifuDaxiongmao: all good band names are punny
Juliamon: Josh needs to stop making Beej faces
Reecer6: obviously the best band names are like, three or four-word phrases that don't make any semantic sense
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Reecer6 Ideally with a word that is barely transmogrified into your native tongue
kusinohki: we play music with rocks in it, so we call ourselves "music, with rocks in it"
betweenmyself: A punk band named “Oreo and the Double Stufs”… They’re punk because they ignore all the Cease and Desist orders from Nabisco.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kusinohki When one member leaves and we need to change them it becomes musica dura to show growth
kusinohki: "one! two! one, two, many, lots!"
computercolinx: You can pause a beat with the Y button FYI
adept_nekomancer: That comes very close to working
adept_nekomancer: Good to know that the characters can move through one anoher
adept_nekomancer: *one another
Thefluffiestguineapig: When Ian gets the hand on chin pose leaning forward focusing you know the game has piqued their interest
Thefluffiestguineapig: In a good way, not harpsichord tuning way
Thefluffiestguineapig: That is a genuinely useful hint!
computercolinx: That was a fun level

Thefluffiestguineapig: Honestly this is another game where the decisions seem to be made in order to make it fun
RealGamerCow: It would be cool if each band member had their own time signature for movement
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think that name needs.........work
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RealGamerCow Honestly if you did that the power move would be if you did it as a group of tap dancers. That would be so hard to program to make work if my limited understanding indicates anything
PharaohBender27:
They wouldn't call it "Triangle Strategy," would they? 
adept_nekomancer: My brain keeps wanting to parse "Mesatones" as "Meatstones"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @PharaohBender27 If you go there you might as well go Domino Strategy
Reecer6: they wouldn't compose and perform a powerful vocal track where the hook is the phrase "triangle strategy," would they?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The fact that the dialogue is in their instruments noise from movement is a little odd
kusinohki: are we in the xxxHolic universe? all unnamed characters are just shadows?
Reecer6: so what determines where an arrow appears?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Honestly that's what I'm walking about could be a great tour of a historic city
PMAvers: We clearly harvested their Fan Energy into our Stage for future battles.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, is that the real drummer here?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The generator I mean
Reecer6: they're millifans, actually
adept_nekomancer: That is the SI unit for fandom
definenull: !honk
PMAvers: While fans are nice on their own, what you really need is a Merch Booth to convert fans into a currency you can actually use: money.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @adept_nekomancer The base unit? So does a family member being obligated to come make a microfan or something even smaller?
kusinohki: I thought patreon was the best way to convert fans into money??
Thefluffiestguineapig: @PMAvers Merch is the SI unit that leads to bills being paid
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kusinohki That is a good point. Also gives the largest amount of the fans to the creator
adept_nekomancer:
@Thefluffiestguineapig Sounds like a cue for someone to post the store link 
CAKHost: !store
kusinohki: was trying to soft ball a segue for ian and/or heather, but they're not reading chat it seems...
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also !patreon
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't know if anyone has the ability to trigger that but I figured it was at least a good thing to mention
CAKHost: Have to do it by itself
CAKHost: !patreon
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ah, thank you!
CAKHost: Of course!
CururuGuasu: You’ve created a paradox!
PMAvers: A pair of socks? I can't help but put them on
kusinohki: a pair of rocks? call meg!
Thefluffiestguineapig: A pair of Crocs? Lose the socks
PMAvers: Chicken costumes are only for Kiryu
CururuGuasu: Their fandom is based on movement
CururuGuasu: Much like dinosaurs
space_turbulence: Fire at concerts has never caused any problems
RealGamerCow: the overlap of cell phones and blockbuster must be small
space_turbulence: Acquire trumpet, become ska

A_Dub888: "Add flair" Charolette or Ric?
LordZarano: But its axis rotates on an angle equal to the mathematical formular for the perfect croquembouche!
PharaohBender27:
Thefluffiestguineapig: @A_Dub888 Depends if you want to add more ire or nostalgia to your alchemical creation
kusinohki: *chaz hands*
Thefluffiestguineapig: I haven't watched all of Beej's playthroughs but wasn't there some game with Tokyo in the name where some of the puzzles were like this without the music and with violence?
LordZarano: A way to mechanically enforce laying down the drumbeat first
PharaohBender27: @Thefluffiestguineapig Shadowrun Hong Kong, I think?
KeytarCat: Oh I lost track of time! Hello!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @PharaohBender27 Yes, the movement puzzles there had a similar movement to avoid interception mechanic
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hey KeytarCat!
Thefluffiestguineapig: I have one of my not keytar cats adorably asleep on the back of the couch
KeytarCat: aww, good baby
Thefluffiestguineapig: They all very much are, I love them so much.
AriaDreamGirl: Shadowband
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ugh, that slicked back hair is so bad
Thefluffiestguineapig: Used car salesman vibe
LordZarano: Bennett Foddy's Zipper, on Playdate, also has quite similar mechanics, with violence
KeytarCat: I played with a funk band for a few shows
Half_Duplex: why do they always make the sax player the jerk?
RealGamerCow: So, Beej.
PharaohBender27: Chaz, baby, don't be that way!
SymphonicLolita: I showed you my sax pls respond
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Half_Duplex Only if it's tenor sax, if it's any of the others they are just portrayed weirdly
PharaohBender27: (And now a line my brain came up with years ago has been exorcised)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, if it's soprano sax then it's just Kenny G
definenull: funk-splaining
definenull: teeny tiny alien
kusinohki: and music defeats aliens in how many anime?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Did they funk splain to those girls? Also Chaz needs to have his stupid creep smirk honestly evaluated to his face
Thefluffiestguineapig: Flalians is a very Ian designation
RealGamerCow: Chaz very much looks like a Chaz
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RealGamerCow In my head his legal name is Chase and he changed it to align with his bad hair choices
iarethel0ser:
Thefluffiestguineapig: That was good work!
SaxPython:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh jeez
Bruceski: Are you playing a gig or planning a heist?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Mandatory stealth........I'm not sure about this
A_Dub888: !findquote read card
LRRbot: Quote #3809: "These cards... I actually need to read them to find out how good they are." —Doc [2017-01-06]
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Bruceski Honestly I would watch a comedy about a post high school garage band trying to transition into a heist crew
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or the reverse, a heist crew trying to pass themselves off as a garage band in order to pull a job
e_bloc:

KeytarCat: @Thefluffiestguineapig Jazz Punk band stealing shit for their underground gigs!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @KeytarCat Stealing pieces of their competition's instruments
KeytarCat: Is that Pazz or Junk?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The chat would be divided into hilarity and rage
Juliamon: Jazzpunk was a really good game
