TheAinMAP: Signal.
kusinohki: meows
Metric_Furlong: going to miss te early part of this, as I need to get to the end of End of Evangelion
kusinohki: @metric_furlong I hope your brain survives!
kusinohki: did something happen to the checkpoint episode? I saw it show up on youtube, but then it disappeared before I could watch it...
FadedOasis: According to Paul on AFK this week, there is no Checkpoint due to PPR prep.
TehAmelie: for the record, i did only beat 6 guys in Super Punch Out!! before the stream rebooted
TheAinMAP: As far as we know, there wasn't one this week due to PPR prep.
Cadyn: Guessing WOE PPR ate the episode of Checkpoint this week
Lady_Abigor: Happy CheckPoint, all
kusinohki: hrm. weird. it might have been an old episode, but the timing was uncanny...
Metric_Furlong: @kusinohki it did the last time I watched it
Graham_LRR: I think you may have imagined it? Or, more likely, it was last week’s episode and YouTube was weird? @kusinohki
Metric_Furlong: so prognosis seems favourable
GapFiller:
hai G
Graham_LRR: (I blame YouTube, “you imagined it” was a joke)
DeM0nFiRe:
Checkpoint's haunted 
TehAmelie: that 15 or so minutes would probably be enouggh for any real speedrunner
LunarJade: Yeah there was no CheckPoint this week. I made a community post about it on YT. If you went to the future though tell me if Silksong came out or not?
GapFiller:
DeM0nFiRe no thats just Beej 
kusinohki: come to think of it... I think the thumbnail had ian as host, so..... *sigh*
Graham_LRR: @dem0nfire *cocks microphone* CheckPoint’s haunted
GapFiller:
LunarJade evening Heather

RockPusher: Paul remains unimpressed
Invitare: Just one? More like Playstation Peasant
GapFiller: *whistles
CururuGuasu: Just the one?
ANeMzero: It reminds me of the Gamecube keyboard controller
codatski: Something that you can literally do with a phone and a dualsense for free.
GapFiller:
a controller broken in two w/ a screen inbetween
GapFiller: where have we heard this before
Foxmar320: welp
DeM0nFiRe: Hahaha
GapFiller:
AtomicAlchemical:
GRAHAM?! ON CHILLPOINT?! 
FadedOasis: It's a Wii U Gamepad, right?
DeM0nFiRe: Yeah literally this thing is like "What if we try to get into the strong handheld market by doing nothing that makes handhelds sell well"
CururuGuasu: Whatever the question is, the answer in No
LordZarano: It's for playing in bed
GapFiller:
Foxmar320: Is it for at home gaming while pooping?
ANeMzero: @FadedOasis Yeah, but worse because there isn't really any support for using it to do new and interesting stuff.
kusinohki: "cannot be used by the wizard.... or the dwarf, barbarian, or elf"
CururuGuasu: My brother actually is really interested in it since his kids generally are using the TVs
DeM0nFiRe: Yeah Wii U gamepad came with the console AND had actual functionality besides just being a TV alternative
iris_of_ether: This feels like it got hit with scope shrink
FadedOasis: WHAT
Foxmar320: Wow
gibbousm: this feels like a solution in search of a barely existing problem
Foxmar320: It does look fancy
GapFiller: HOW!? how can any consumer electronics of this ilk NOT have bluetooth in 2023!?
ryuhimora: That is so bone headed, like wtf
ANeMzero: It is the cost of a Switch Lite for something that is not anywhere near the functionality of a Switch Lite
Foxmar320: Same Paul
Challis2070: The switch is too heavy for me to be able to hold, so I never really use it that way.
tod_vom_himmel: switch bad, steam deck good
SquareDotCube: Sony just doesn't learn lessons with their handhelds
Foxmar320: I only used my Switch portable at the VA
michele6963: When is the PPR?
DeM0nFiRe: Oh also the other dumb thing is Sony literally endorses a controller to attach to your phone for remote play, which makes way moer sense as a product
GapFiller: !ppr
TemporallyAwry: If nothing else, it makes a compelling argument that the Valve Index is actually a rather competent product
mowdownjoe: @tod_vom_himmel But why not both? Both good.
GapFiller:
its just turtles all the way down on this one
Foxmar320: Yeah pair to PS5.
SquareDotCube: This is just like their memory card bullshit
ryuhimora: @loadingreadyrun the earbuds connect to the PS5 with a proprietary dongle
LordZarano: You'd have to get one of those 3.5 to Bluetooth adapters, if they make low latency ones of those
FadedOasis: So why can't you use it as a controller over wifi?
iris_of_ether: Oh no the delay on that....
RockPusher: I should rewatch Agatha Fisty
Foxmar320:
ANeMzero: Okay for clarification: The existing PS5 "Pulse 3D" headset is *not* supported. The new Pulse Elite and Pulse Explore work with it.
Izandai: @RockPusher I'm in the middle (well, more towards the end) of a rewatch right now!
SquareDotCube: Ghosts
Brozard: Love that Sony isn't concerned at all with any sort of compatibility. Gotta admire the brazen capitalism, I suppose?

codatski: It's for people who are going to buy it, and then realize it wasn't what they thought it was.
IzlanntheLion: Yeah I can't think of what market this fills even
RockPusher: Having used easy to understand incrementing number naming for their console, Sony have to find other ways of confusing consumers
Brozard: Do you have to buy your games again to play on it?
aerolend: "PlayStation Why?"
iris_of_ether: I'm 100% with Beej on this

Metric_Furlong: and back
GapFiller: Metric_Furlong how was EoE
Metric_Furlong:
@GapFiller a nice fun and happy time all around
ANeMzero: I have to wonder how much the cancellation of splitscreen co-op for Halo Infinite was also down to the limitations of the S.
ryuhimora: @metric_furlong ron_burgundy_disbelieve.gif
Brozard: I feel very conflicted about these half-generation consoles that in effect punish consumers for not having the "better" version of a console and force developers to produce even more versions of their game, and in this case eliminate feature parity
iris_of_ether: Lordy that is a mood
googoltudoris: "natural motion blur filter" lmao
mowdownjoe: Don't worry, Beej. Motion blur isn't anything to worry about.
Metric_Furlong: @ryuhimora fair

Brozard: Of course it was great, Bruce Campbell narrated it
Akaiatana: Aside: it sounds like fans have modded multiplayer into Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. I don't know how true any of that is, but it's neat to look at.
TheMerricat: I'm laughing here as I remember that back in the old Atari ST/Amiga days it was always this way. None of the versions of the games were the same per computer.

red_shoes_jeff: Well, uh... alright then.
TheMerricat: I have two copies of ET....
GapFiller: oooh Missile Coomand
Brozard: where's my Air & Sea Battle?
ANeMzero: It is still an ARM/android/emulation based system
Laurence72: They could prby fit every game onto one cartridge!
mtvcdm: Yep. We had one in our house.
SquareDotCube: I'd rather get the LEGO set ..
pyronils80: I still have got the original!
Akaiatana: Atari 2601.
greyducky: I miss pitfall
pyronils80: Ohhh Pitfall was so great! And sometimes so frustrating...
kusinohki: I'm nostalgic for river raid all of a sudden...
ANeMzero: Because the NES and Famicom weren't exactly pin compatible the earliest NES carts had Famicom boards attached to conversion boards, and if you just took them apart you could use the converter for any famicom board.
Brozard: I haven't tested my 7800 in years, mostly because I no longer have a TV the coaxial adapter could connect to.
GapFiller: cz people dont actually want the Past exactly as it was Heather
GapFiller: they want the past they remember
GapFiller: however false that memory actually is
Garfy400: FPGA
TheMerricat: Mister chat, if you want a "real" Atari 2600, it's a fpga device
ANeMzero: FPGA = Field Programmable Gate Array.
FadedOasis: The old cards would have to be custom made at this point. You can just take a stock board that warehouses have and load an emulator for cheaper
Izandai: @Laurence72 I am utterly certain one could fit every Atari 2600 game into an appropriate cartridge many many times over.
accountmadeforants: Yeah, FPGAs can do that. Mister and Analogue have those for consoles
Akaiatana: All-dressed chips.
GapFiller: Brozard exactly
kusinohki: Ian could probably build an atari 2600 on TTSF with radio shack parts...
TheMerricat: I believe the full cartridge archive for the 2600 is less than 600 mb
accountmadeforants: FPGAs are quite expensive and have some real availability issues at basically every price point, so it's understandable, just... boring...
Akaiatana: Emulators don't get any respecced
GapFiller: eyyy Eric Chahi
Izandai: @Akaiatana Firing on all cylinders today, eh?
Brozard: Man, I did *not* understand that game as a kid
Akaiatana: @Izandai Not even.
ANeMzero: Most emulators aren't so much trying to build to spec, they're just kind of trying to build to make it work. They're a functional, general base and then a million specific exceptions built on top.
Brozard: @GapFiller Thanks!
TemporallyAwry: That's surreal art there.
Izandai: Oh god, Baby Beardless Paul!
StarlitGhost: I wonder if anyone's done that for SCUMMVM
GapFiller: Izandai some of us still stan goatee Paul
SquareDotCube: Kind of like the FX Chip that handled 3D for SNES
SaxPython:
Beej
constablecrab: Kids these days need to experience the sheer grit of the original Atari joystick.
DeM0nFiRe: Before the SNES, humanity was still figuring out what video games were supposed to be. There are vanishingly few pre-SNES games that are actually worth playing besides nostalgia or just being interested in the history of games
Metric_Furlong: E.T the video game?
Brozard: oh no, I have the Atari Pac-Man, and woooooow oh no
FadedOasis: Atari Pac-Man is a WILD game
ANeMzero: The 2600 Pac-Man is technically impressive and functionally trash.
greyducky: It’s like what’s so great about baseball cards
bytecaster: @constablecrab Sorry, these days we are calling them joycons
Izandai: They should be archived. There's no good reason for them to be sold to people. They're not... Good games.
Garfy400: Stampede
Lord_Hosk: Adventure, and pitfall is all I can think of
RockPusher: River Run
Izandai: Most people will have more fun building the LEGO set than actually playing any of the games!
accountmadeforants: It is kinda fun to have a shelf piece that does do something. (But yeah, not interesting)
princess_intell: How many mb is the entire Atari game library again
Gadora: Asteroids might be interesting on there?
file_maker: I still ride for Combat
constablecrab: I’ve still got my 2600 but I don’t think I have the right adapters to hook it up.
Akaiatana: The Atari 2600+ came out for Sonic's 30th.

kusinohki: ET for 5 mins? 4 of those will be trying to get out of a pit
Metric_Furlong: it is culturally significant, just not in the way things tend to be culturally significant
Lord_Hosk: Playing ET will tell you where games were and where we came from
Izandai:
princess_intell: Atari feels like it's gaming public domain. I don't think it's actually in public domain, but no one cares enough to get mad about it.
Brozard: @mtvcdm I don't think that copied right?
princess_intell: Atari games, I mean
SaxPython: Pure crush sounds wild
Akaiatana: Programming while driving is the easiest way for games to get a green light.
kusinohki: raiders of the lost ark was rather impressive that it worked at all for atari 2600
Metric_Furlong: @Akaiatana boo!
SquareDotCube: Atari had some ambitious plans
Metric_Furlong: boooo!
mtvcdm: @Brozard Should have, it worked for me
greyducky: I want to play Atari again and eat lol lies and pretend I don’t have bills to pay.
TheMerricat: There are a few games that were made that have no 'modern' versions and were complex enough to make them interesting. However if you weren't a kid growing up at the time and _actually_ kept your carts like I did, there is no reason for this device to exist. And for the record no I'm not getting this.
GapFiller: it feels playing ET is important in the same watching a movie like Manos Hand of Fate or Plan 9 From Outer Space is important
Juliamon: mtvcdm Didn't work for me either
GapFiller: sometimes we learn from the bad as much as from the good
Izandai: We have Celeste now. We don't need Combat (whatever the hell that is).
SquareDotCube: There was a whole thing where there was a contest involving four games
Brozard: @mtvcdm Hmm, I'm getting a page stating "The page you are looking for isn't here."
ANeMzero: Apparently the 2600+ will also play Atari 7800 games
GapFiller:
bad video games as warnings to future generations
princess_intell: I do get wanting a replica that has zero hardware and is just a display piece
bytecaster: I mean, I assume the SNES needs a bigger FPGA, but maybe they couldn't get a really small one
Brozard: @mtvcdm This worked!
accountmadeforants: Gotta find those JTAG pins and see what they've left exposed.
Lord_Hosk: The Modding community hangs out in the mod only slack
Laurence72: Atari DOOM?
GapFiller: This Video Game is NOT a Video Game of Honour
princess_intell: Or a replica with zero hardware that has a slot for a raspberry pi
ANeMzero: @mtvcdm Love the absolute beast that is Neo Geo carts
Gadora: Klax does look to be on the Atari 2600, looking at the Wikipedia list.
SquareDotCube: What about hatris?
TheMerricat:
Chat, instead of getting the Atari 2600+ and giving money to the ghouls who currently own the Atari trademark... get one of these put together for yourself. - https://www.retrorgb.com/mister.html

SaxPython: #Huh?
TheWooglie: ubisoft?
Izandai: what
StarlitGhost: but why
princess_intell: @wicker_guide and the crowd goes... shrug?
GapFiller: Wicker_Guide Ubisoft: Folx whaeres the lie? (*CMPunk)
bytecaster: "The deal can only go through if Call of Duty can come to Uplay"
gibbousm: wut?
luckypantslive: they're offering to give ubisoft the cloud rights to abk to pretend to noncompete
DeM0nFiRe: Maybe they should make this deal even shittier and give EA all the DLC rights
StarlitGhost: I know why, but still, why
CururuGuasu: That just moves the monopoly
DeM0nFiRe:
bytecaster: Miau, but in french
ANeMzero: It is also worth mentioning, Ubisoft doesn't actually *have* a game streaming platform. Their Ubi+ subscription relies on Amazon Luma and previously Stadia to handle it's streaming component. So Ubisoft was chosen because they're technically competition but not really.
LordZarano: Buddies in unresolved sexual harassment problems?
Akaiatana: Ubisoft is a farcry from blizzard.
CururuGuasu: For maximum wackiness, give it to Sony
princess_intell: I just want to know what meetings were had to produce this decision
GapFiller: canny
princess_intell: Those meetings are so much more interesting than this headline
bytecaster: What if we gave the streaming rights to GameSpy?
Coloneljesus: are IP lawyers ok?

GhostValv: nice...?
ANeMzero: I mean, Microsoft owns a company owned by it's own Subsidiary. Zenimax was made by Bethesda to be a holding company.
luckypantslive: they're trying to make it so complicated that the legislators who don't understand the industry give up and roll over, ig
accountmadeforants: Sony should get the streaming rights to make peace, but only for RemotePlay (so you have to own a PS5).
mtvcdm: Can't wait for Konami to come in dusting the Ultra label off from out of mothballs and launch a bid, just for funsies.
Shadowner: so if ubisoft wanted to provide for EU customers they are not explicitly limited to doing it via microsoft but microsoft also gets to do it via Ubisoft?
bytecaster: What if Microsoft, Google and Amazon rotate their cloud services around in general, for fun!
aerolend: Uplay was renamed into Ubisoft Connect at some point, apparently.
princess_intell: The longer this drags on, the more bizarre it gets
aerolend:
bytecaster: I think they should rename the "XBox" to the "UBox" to sweeten the deal for Ubisoft.
aerolend: @bytecaster "Ooooh-Box"
mtvcdm: Go outside. Find a squirrel. Hand the squirrel the streaming rights.
bytecaster: @aerolend Ooooh-Box Series Ooooooh
princess_intell: Is this when we revive the ouya?
accountmadeforants:
I still say Microsoft should give you a pop-up of like twenty different streaming services whenever you buy an Activision game, and then it should have a "bug" that "breaks" it for over a year so it still defaults to Microsoft. https://i.imgur.com/kuVFhxg.gif

codatski: Hey mods?
princess_intell: If there had been editorializing, it would be bad accessibility

Izandai: Thank you.
Texan_Reverend: Thanks!

EvilBadman: I had a heck of a time doing that for the DB Shirt reprint toots
KeytarCat: Yeah, masto Alt Text is great
Kazman20a: thanks mods
red_shoes_jeff: @aerolend ARE you tired of your opponents being full OF blood? Do YOU think they have. TOO MANY bones!
EikoandMog:
Mods
accountmadeforants: It occurs to me that XKCD isn't very accessible (unless there's a way to separate the joke alt-texts from the real alt-texts?)
Texan_Reverend: Honestly, extra humor in the alt text is great as long as it's also giving the real stuff.
EirynKatherine: I think it's funnier the way it is.
Wicker_Guide: I mean, it sounds funny because it is funny, that's the point of the fatalities
KeytarCat: I saw someone who wrote poetic Alt Texts, and that's what I aspire to
aerolend:
@red_shoes_jeff
Laurence72: Next time, instead of toots, have Gibb narrate fatalities.
KeytarCat: Gore is funny!
TheMerricat:
Chat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAJBRyGcbk0 if you want to see the fatalities and hear them. I haven't watched it yet but it's from an article about the feature and claims to have all the basic fatalites included.
KeytarCat: Like we learned from Doom 2016!
GapFiller: TheMerricat gotta signin to watch it
Shadowner: image "a ginger bread cookie in a state of peril"
GapFiller: but thanks anyway got it saved for later
SaxPython: Ooh yeah, there's a live segment in here somewhere
TheMerricat: @GapFiller Fair though, the fatalities are definitely M rated material.
bytecaster: Eyeballs are for seeing, not for being seen.
GapFiller: TheMerricat M rated Mortal Kombat content? never!
josh___something: Didn't a descriptive text D&D: Honor among thieves make the rounds?
GapFiller: Cornelius!
Izandai:
SaxPython: Omg. This is also great Can't Draw Horses idea.
Wicker_Guide: distinction//difference?
RockPusher:
tod_vom_himmel: this is such a beej thing
KeytarCat: @TheMerricat I have a slow but unlocked link, if you want. It's through youtube->Invidious
Shadowner: some of that category doesnt even have a 'script' so the limited dialog doesnt suffer from "descriptive text"
Wicker_Guide: if a bear rips out a man's guts in teh woods, and no player initiated it, did it really happen?
Metric_Furlong: I apologise in andvance for this
Metric_Furlong: *advance
KeytarCat: I...I want a fighting game that narrates the recording
Sorator13: @Metric_Furlong oh dear
Wicker_Guide: individual percentage point values only
RockPusher: Heather Dery: Beej Interpreter
EikoandMog: I think Laura Kate Dale had some things to say about this. Let me find out.
aerolend: Accessibility translation of Beej speech.
GapFiller:
KeytarCat yr own personal Oki Oki Fight Club audio commentary
josh___something: Oki Oki?
bytecaster: And we are here for the ride!
josh___something: Oh no
Sorator13: @RockPusher one of the most impressive things on the resume!
Greyah: Sometimes all the words need to come out and the order in which they come out is a puzzle.
Metric_Furlong: there are at least two fighting games that exist
tod_vom_himmel: is apparently living hell
shurtal: oh god this update is HILARIOUS
KeytarCat: Like, Toribash?
josh___something: DBFZ is currently in hell from what I've heard
bytecaster: Are we nerfing Goku?
KV1NN4: Ppl were mad about Bulma and Yamcha brekaing up is my only context
Metric_Furlong:
@josh___something I think you'll find it's in HIFL
josh___something: OH no, new system mechanics D:
Wicker_Guide: @Metric_Furlong HFIL, the Home For Infinite Losers
josh___something: Oh NO... they made everything slower
Metric_Furlong:
@josh___something accurate to the source material
Sorator13: only buff, never nerf
josh___something: So, how many combos are ruined from this patch?
Sorator13: I could see this being a problem with distance-related things, though
bytecaster: Debuffing the big bad by getting stronger has worked for Goku for his whole life!
mustangw16: Hello from Pakistan 👋
josh___something: It might be a different arc
josh___something: Oh neat, I assume that's a DP
bytecaster: It's true
red_shoes_jeff: Makes perfect sense.
TheMerricat: "Frieza, a broker who forcibly takes over planets to resell them, often rendering the planet's population extinct first, was created around the time of the Japanese economic bubble and was inspired by real estate speculators, whom Toriyama called the "worst kind of people." Toriyama purposely does not draw bad guys so ..."
SquareDotCube: Relatable
bytecaster: I wonder how many forms real estate speculators have
ShaneLeeAtk: Frieza bought and sold planets, by force
shurtal: it said Badman on it, and yeah Vegeta, that's accurate
GhostValv: pink shirt with "Bad Man"
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Where's the lie?
Brozard: yessssss
red_shoes_jeff: @bytecaster At least two. Minimum.
SquareDotCube: It was it's own engine
TheWooglie: youtube is muted
Sorator13:
Metric_Furlong: star dark forces remastered wars
GapFiller: OH
SquareDotCube: It allowed for multiple spaces in vertical space, in that DOOM only allowed one space in a vertical space
Wicker_Guide: this looks very doom-esque
red_shoes_jeff: Star DARK FORCES REMASTERED Wars
Brozard: 10/10 no notes
EikoandMog: 10/10
bytecaster: I mean, it is a good joke
Shadwhawk: Ugh, the cutscene change makes it look more like a flash animation
mtvcdm: 11/10 very good dog
Critterbot: Huh, looks pretty neat!
GapFiller: Shadwhawk thats kinda half the charm
Juliamon: I do kinda love it
TheMerricat: This isn't a remaster, this is the "Enhanced" version ala how the BG games were originally handled.
greyducky: Wow. The memories
GapFiller: certainly thats part of what sells it to me
tod_vom_himmel: dark forces 2 was a bagner
mtvcdm: I want them to depixel as they lose health
tod_vom_himmel: banger*
KeytarCat: I want updated sprite work, like Chrono Trigger
ShaneLeeAtk: Wonder Boy in Dragons Trap let you flip between remake and original Master Console graphics.
TheAwkes: I've never liked the results of smoothing pixelated sprites into illustration-style images. That continues to be true for this.
Gizmoloid: were PS1 games uprezzed on PS2? i think that only started with PS3
GapFiller: Dark Forces 3 Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast
RockPusher: A Remaster must be 80% pork product

Thanks for subscribing, JayaLegends! (Today's storm count: 39)
Izandai: I sincerely think we should have that.
bytecaster: @RockPusher I'll take a vegan Remake then!
aerolend: Upscale?
Coloneljesus: it's only a remaster if it comes from the rema region in france. if not, it's just a remake
KeytarCat: Remaster comes from music, right? That last step of listening back and fine tuning the effects and mix is Mastering, but I don't know what that would mean for a video game
greyducky: This episode is making me realize that I want to play Diablo 2 more than 3 or 4
EirynKatherine: "We can't stop them from naming their games whatever they want" Heather 'No Numbers' Dery
mtvcdm: Natural genres with other natural genres
GapFiller:
Metric_Furlong: why
TheMerricat: So in related news to this article, a reminder to chat that VOXEL Doom 2 was released a week or so ago. They replaced the sprites with custom voxel based models, it LOOKS like the original game till you get close enough to move around things.
greyducky: Boo
Juliamon: Effective, but not in a good way

TheMerricat: So people are finding out that the Denuvo DRM for the Switch isn't _for_ the Switch but to prevent people from using emulators to play the games on PCs.....
bytecaster: To be fair, the most effective pirating prevention system would be to have the game just not start: 0% of pirates can play the game.
bytecaster: *100%
bytecaster: of normal users can't play the game either
gnyrinn: Performance issues that they have denied, about as convincingly as Shaggy denied charges of adultery.
Metric_Furlong: also, people can't pirate a game if you never release it
Sorator13: @bytecaster I'm not sure that's foolproof, though; someone's gonna mod the game to get around the roadblock if there's a large enough fanbase
aerolend: Meanwhile GhostWire: Tokyo added it at some point before some DLC release.
Sorator13: even if that means writing half the game themselves
bytecaster: DeNewVo
accountmadeforants:
What if Denuvo's Switch DRM is just an FPS counter and if the game runs above 30 FPS then you're clearly not running on a real Switch 
bytecaster: Maybe they should rebrand to, I don't know, X, or Meta or something
TheWooglie: @bytecaster twitter DRM is going free
aerolend: @accountmadeforants It also measures the amount of fun you're having with a set limit of it.
Wicker_Guide: yeah, but this is Nintendo. They've always disliked third party emulation
bytecaster: Can't we go back to the Monkey Island model with the paper disk system.
LordZarano: Switch can be emulated on Steam Deck can't it?
accountmadeforants: Even 3DS emulation is a pain in the ass
Agu_Sakku: Why I never got into Monster Hunter on the PC.
MungoDude: switch emulation is a lot easier than say ps3 emulation
Sorator13: I also think companies rather overestimate the impact that emulation has on their bottom lines; a significant amount of folks who pirate games wouldn't buy them even if pirating wasn't an option
bytecaster: We need to convince someone clueless, so do a thing.
Izandai: @Sorator13 I'm sure there's people like that. I'm sure there's also people who say that who would have a different perspective if piracy was not possible.
TheMerricat: Nintendo takes down Youtube videos of people giving them FREE advertising. They absolutely don't give a shit about the impact being 'minimal' they care about the 'appearance'.
Sorator13: @Izandai Oh for sure; it's hardly a perfect argument
TimIAm: The game could be phoning home, and if the emulator runs if faithfully it would phone home to.
jupi_taru: Emulators emulate the server
TimIAm: Unless the emu devs were proactive to stop that.
TimIAm: Definitely not a perfect metric by any means
Sorator13: Only if that "phone-home" functionality is enbabled in the emulated version; they usually do that in the self-contained environment
accountmadeforants: @Sorator13 Yeah, in fairness, I bought an PS4 exclusively to play Bloodborne (and am tempted to get a PS5 for Demon's Souls if they drop in price enough). I wouldn't have spent that kind of money or time if I could just emulate. Exclusivity and lack of availability does work to a point.
TheMerricat: BTW chat, the Dolphin emulator devs recently updated the emulator to work with a WiiShop emulation so you can now get your News channel and Everybody Votes channel working again....
EikoandMog: Is Denuvo the one that like, only two people know how to crack. One of them only does Soccer games and the other is really, really weird?
KodeMage: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Wilds of Eldraine PPR (Join the LRR Crew and our special guests Chris Mooney, Lady Lavinia & Jumbo Commander for your first look at Wilds of Eldraine in action! Game: Magic: The Gathering) at Sat 10:00 AM PDT (18:33 from now).
bytecaster: I'm sure there is some hamfisted metaphor involved, like Denuvo is like a padlock for the bicycle that is your video game.
LordZarano: If the game could detect that it was running on emulator in order to phone that home then it wouldn't need Denuvo, it could just not run
TheMerricat: Sorry, not WiiShop emulation, the 24Connect emulation.
EikoandMog: Does the Wii Pizza now work?
MasterNoda subscribed with Prime.
LRRbot:

LordZarano: CPU access to video memory is probably the main thing that PCs cant do easily that consoles do
SAJewers: ?
Xafty: uh oh
Sorator13:
?
Brozard: ruh roh
TheMerricat: So back in the old day when games came on Floppy Disks the antipriacy measure that was most common was your floppy was intentionally made with a sector that was bad so that you couldn't read from it accurately. And the game would check that sector like 20 times and if the data was still the same each time it decided the game was pirated.
StarlitGhost: stream ded?
Snowcookies: fire?
accountmadeforants: Nintendo Ninjas work quickly
MungoDude: picnic
Juliamon: Oh no, Nintendo heard Heather

Metric_Furlong:
oh no, the stream got Denuvo'd
EvilBadman: nintendo heard what heather was talkin'
Gizmoloid: Nintendo!!!
mtvcdm: You got Denuvo'd Heather
MasterNoda:
Sorator13: Nintendo knew what Heather was about to say and shut it down
Programmerman1: oh good it’s not just me
Gizmoloid: shakes fist
KV1NN4: the loadinfgReadyLawyer broke the stream so Heather coudln't incriminate herself? XD
GapFiller: gdi Nintendo
Coloneljesus: heather getting silenced by twitch >:(
RockPusher: That'll teach us for emulating ChillPoint on PC
bytecaster: They got us, everybody, flee!
red_shoes_jeff: More like NintenDON'T, amirite?
lirazel64: It's all us old, mean shareholders...
TheMerricat: @loadingreadyrun Stream Down! Run the Denuvo Squads are in the moon base!
EikoandMog:
Metric_Furlong: we're back
Gizmoloid: definitely find
emberBecky: back now I think
EikoandMog: We're back!
Juliamon: It's back, refresh
Coloneljesus: we missed heather's opinion
accountmadeforants: Stream died right before Heather got to say what she wanted to say
Juliamon: "I would definitely--"
bytecaster: Twitch is silencing Heather!
GapFiller: clearly somebody objected to Heathers opinions
MungoDude: I would definitely fi...
ryuhimora: @lordzarano that makes absolutely no sense, PCs are designed to do exactly that with integrated and dedicated graphics
Sorator13: That was the one, yeah
accountmadeforants:
EikoandMog: Nintendo! Please use Linkle more!
Metric_Furlong: Linkle is just a fun name to say
bytecaster: We almost missed that spicy take!
accountmadeforants: Linkle is fantastic
TimIAm: new Tingle game when
Izandai: Reload
Agu_Sakku:
red_shoes_jeff: Mine?
TimIAm: Sonic the Gathering
Wicker_Guide: Phoenix Wright
red_shoes_jeff: Oh...
RockPusher: Jazz Jackrabbit
bytecaster: Cream the Rabbit?
Sorator13: Sonic the Hedgerabbit?
Izandai: @bytecaster do WHAT to the rabbit???
Coloneljesus: I wonder how many years there will be between sonic's 30th and sonic's 35th anniversaries
bytecaster: @Izandai It's canon!
bytecaster: @bytecaster Or rather she is canon.
KeytarCat: Comes with a rabbit pelt-skin!
Sorator13: @bytecaster just be sure to get consent first
Wicker_Guide: That looks like a creepy Bill the Cat Ripoff
mtvcdm: You get Sonic's skin. Not the rest of Sonic, just his skin.
greyducky: I love it
MungoDude: wow, Jazz Jackrabbit was more of a Sonic ripoff than I knew
shurtal: isn't Cream's mom the one that's the size of a normal human mother?
mtvcdm: BRING ME MY HASSENPFEFFER
ramonaviking: Ikea bluegray
Izandai: "Would you like it if it was a hedgehog?"
Gizmoloid: twitch app still can't comprehend that the stream is live again
Gizmoloid:
oh there it is
Sorator13: why is sonic news?
misteline: Just rejoined. Which character will Heather block me for?
Sorator13: ah, that is why
Sorator13: @misteline Rabbit Sonic
bytecaster: @misteline Rabbit skin
misteline: Ahhh. Yes, I would block me too
Wicker_Guide: because that would be giving people what they want
SaxPython:
Metric_Furlong: "I want the Sonic stuff to be something I can step on" - Brenden 'Beej' Derry
bytecaster: Only if the Rabbids and Rayman are allowed to come!
Simriel: @bytecaster maybe they are into denial
Wicker_Guide: Isn't Charles Martinet retiring?
SaxPython: Blue Mario is great
Izandai: Mario has face-blindness.
Lysander_salamander: He has face-blindness
Sorator13:
@Wicker_Guide from VA, yeah 
DiscordianTokkan: Yessss
bytecaster: @Izandai Is that why he never remembers the names of all the Goombas?
mtvcdm: I wonder if his impending retirement is part of why he didn't do the movie.
accountmadeforants: Put Chris Pratt in
Izandai: I prefer the idea that PEACH is colorblind, and the letters are so she can tell Mario and Luigi apart.
TemporallyAwry: I've never actually heard that theory before ... I wonder what the Wa-Bros excuse is
EvilBadman: He got tenure
Agu_Sakku: Mario's father in next movie too?
mowdownjoe: Good bye, Charles! Glad to have had you for 30 years!
Wicker_Guide: he's graduated to Executive Producerhood
GapFiller: and ofc Eggies presence still has cache years after he left
Sorator13: I interpreted it as "We want you to have a position with us even if you're actually retiring."
SaxPython:
Reggie
Sorator13: Happens a lot in hockey
Izandai: He did Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi.
GapFiller: no doubt Charles will still be plenty around even if he aint doing the voice anymore
Lord_Hosk: Its a way for Nintendo to keep giving him health benefits?
mowdownjoe: He did that with Runner 2, as well IIRC
bytecaster: It's been nice to get my weekly blue Mario news live!
Wicker_Guide: I have to go iron my dog
TheMerricat: chat was it the opening of gamescom that the person who really liked gta stormed the stage on?
SaxPython:
Snowcookies: Minecraft is important
GapFiller: speaking of Keighley there was that really menacing statement abt the guy who crashed the Keighleys this week
bytecaster: Maybe there is a Minecraft mod to have it play on a screen in the game?
EvilBadman: Gamescom DriverCam
accountmadeforants: "Listen, someone is going to punch a 64x64 set of blocks in Minecraft, and that's vastly more important"
