 prince_infidel: Heather you monster
loufghyslaufey: Oh gosh.
loufghyslaufey: Y'know, I don't think Hecate is hearing the same voice we're hearing ourselves, is she?
loufghyslaufey: Whoops, he may get burn'd on the spot

 Shparky2197: I've been here all of a minute and I'm so invested now
loufghyslaufey: But, she technically said the same thing... Twice?!
adept_nekomancer: Oh no, he's a werehuman
josh___something: I've only seen the matchmaker version of this
 Shparky2197: I mean, that's one way to get around how OP omniscience is
 CururuGuasu: Catromsncy
adept_nekomancer: @CururuGuasu Finally, an application where my username is relevant. 
Invitare: Cat is wrong. Hecate is associated with Dogs...
Invitare: female dogs particularly
  Juliamon: Dusa...
theneatestburrito: Oh! Didn’t realize this was out yet! 
 Pteraspidomorphi: These "idols" are very unlike the ones in Hades... Except Theseus apparently
 Shparky2197: Anyway, I came to catch up on the preprerelease, so I'll catch you all in the vod. Have fun!
jubale1: expecting. a transition into a game like necrodancer
  Juliamon: jubale1 Prepare for disappointment, then
jubale1: fantasy-drama genre game?
  Juliamon: visual novel style
 couchboyj: Dialog trees and singing, it seems?
jubale1: when do they start singing
  Juliamon: when the game goes letterboxed
 KeytarCat: @jubale1 every 15 minutes or so?
  Juliamon: that's the visual cue that it's song time
  Juliamon: we also did just have a song a few minutes ago
 KeytarCat: Always flirt ALWAYS FLIRT
jubale1: did prof plum kill caliope at the reliquery?

TheAinMAP: Can't do anything, or won't do anything?
 KeytarCat: Pan, wtf
 Pteraspidomorphi: 
 KeytarCat: Who's Ian? 
 Dog_of_Myth: The Mace... 
 KeytarCat: I might be in love with Freddie...
cokroop: I love freddie so much
 Pteraspidomorphi: Oh she brought the mirror
 Pteraspidomorphi: You have a whole backpack and no mirror?
 KeytarCat: It's like the Witcher.  Most things have scientific explanations, but only because eventually someone looked.  Things that haven't been examined don't have to follow rules!
Bruceski: Your character's a singer and you think "make an entrance" would be punching a hole in the wall?
adept_nekomancer: If you create an entrance, technically you found it.
iarethel0ser: Which explains why I have this perfectly ordinary mace.
Micsig: I'm not even high but I'm tripping
 BusTed: Now we gotta.
 KeytarCat: A girl can be both
Micsig: THE BEES KNEES
 Mazrae: just tuned in and this music is amazing
TheAinMAP:   
josh___something: Fun fact: Medusa is voiced by Anjali Bhimani, Voice actor of Symmetra from overwatch, and rampart from apex legends
 Pteraspidomorphi: I really wish they balanced the loudness of the audio lines, this is a problem that remains from the first time
 KeytarCat: Murder as a preventative measure
loufghyslaufey: Heroism is a flavor. Huh.
LucasTheDrgn: to be fair, we broke the ice in song, with the "i know you're not a killer" line
LucasTheDrgn: @josh___something i can definitely hear symmetra in some of the more subdued lines
 KeytarCat: I do wish we learned more through the songs
Salbastro: aw yeah more Stray Gods! Imma have to catch the first half on VOD after this
 couchboyj: A little Britney Spears, perhaps?
 KeytarCat: eeeeeeeeee
LeeshaJoy: "What I told you was true... from a certain point of view."
  Juliamon: 
Salbastro: AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES
 pn55: "Ohhh..." 
 Dog_of_Myth: 
BlackIsis: That sounds very uncomfortable.
loufghyslaufey: Wait, for real? Is that an actual thing, Ian?
 Pteraspidomorphi: Yeah...
 couchboyj:   
 Earthenone: !findquote roommates
  LRRbot: Could not find any matching quotes.
 Earthenone: im shocked and disapointed
  Juliamon: ah, the Minecraft method
 omdorastrix: *You got the touch!*
CaptainSwing: So, Aphrodite is a war criminal. Got it
josh___something: I mean, you're not wrong ian
cokroop: Hope we can stop this with our magic muse powers
 couchboyj: I mean, is four times over thousands of years a regular basis?
 CururuGuasu: Talk to General Zod over there
  Juliamon: That she's done it more than once makes it regular
 KeytarCat: @couchboyj regular, but not frequent?
BlackIsis: have they banned shirts in this place
adambomb625: Do none of the guys wear shirts?
cokroop: 4 times since wwii or 4 times since old olympus,m
 Pteraspidomorphi: They're greek gods, they have to show off their abs
  Juliamon: It takes a long time for her to get overwhelmed, but when it finally happens she always does a murder
AMuseOfFirebane: I think it's fourth since the war, though the wording isn't clear
loufghyslaufey: Right, that's why Eros calls Aphrodite Mom...
 CururuGuasu: Ya don’t say!?!
LidofLoathing: that's... a lot of people
cokroop: Oh that's a lot
 Pteraspidomorphi: Pan was more dressed I think?
loufghyslaufey: Because of the exposition from Apollo
 couchboyj: I mean, I know they said forget what you know about mythology, but if she's killed 5 people, she has to be on the VERY bottom of the Olympus leader board
josh___something: This is not a very productive coping mechanism
Salbastro: it sounds like shes abusing her immortality as a coping mechanism for PTSD
josh___something: Aphrodite was a war god in some stories, I think
  Juliamon: wow, COOL GUY ARES
LidofLoathing: uh. that's not good, Ares
 Dog_of_Myth: Ares is always a jerk it seems
josh___something: Did you expect anything else from a guy known from being a God of WAR?!
loufghyslaufey: No wonder Athena like having more rules(!?)
loufghyslaufey: I thought Ares was more about the aftermath of war when I last heard of Ares' myth?
Salbastro: that kinda makes sense in a way? IIRC Aphrodite was the patron of Rome, being the mother of whats his name from Troy, and the nazi's loved themself some roman symbolism
josh___something: Shes done this 5 times before, it clearly ISN'T working
 Pteraspidomorphi: Maybe they're fully cognizant of what they're signing up for
Salbastro: *makes sense why theyd capture her
 couchboyj: Apollo did at least imply the vessels consent.  Its up for debate how meaningful the consent is in face of a literal god, I suppose.
 Pteraspidomorphi: All of my friends... and you!
  Juliamon: Pteraspidomorphi I have my doubts that any mortal could truly understand what they're signing up for, including the whole "you will develop PTSD and become suicidal in 20 years" bit
 Pteraspidomorphi: Well looks like they're attempting to get into that
Aygar subscribed at Tier 2. They've subscribed for 45 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Aygar! (Today's storm count: 18)
Salbastro: it Sounds like theres informed consent there
josh___something: 3 days, then I get executed! 
 zimmercj: Could she make Eros available to me afterwords?
 KeytarCat: Grace, wtf
  Juliamon: "Grace, do you think I'm wearing eyeshadow?"
 KeytarCat: "you don't look depressed"
  Juliamon: I wish they would stop panning by that one overhead light that's casting a dong shadow
josh___something: This still isn't a good way to do this
steveheist: Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem... Even when death is a temporary problem
  Juliamon: That's not *better* Aphrodite
josh___something: This feels like grooming...
josh___something: I think having to RELIVE this every time "the veil" lifts isn't helping the forgetting
 KeytarCat: Sugar Mama
Bruceski: Yeah, it's fresh trauma every time
loufghyslaufey: Where... Was this a film/TV show at one point?
LidofLoathing: @loufghyslaufey There's a comic series, the Wicked + the Divine
  Juliamon: Girl, she IS you
 spurius: ah yes, I can fix them
  Juliamon: it's not HELPING you
josh___something: maybe things will be different... uhhh... no
 BusTed: "I can change her"
Bruceski: "I'm different, I can fix her!"
loufghyslaufey: Nono, this particular subplot? With Aphrodite?
josh___something: Oh god, that is an "I can fix her"
CaptainSwing: Reminds me of that time Tobias in Arrested Development wanted an open relationship
  Juliamon: THAT'S NOT *BETTER* APHRODITE
josh___something: APHRODITE WHAT
TheTekkieman: Pan was not the name I expected from that.
josh___something: Let's just overpower 40 something years with the trauma of MULTIPLE centuries of tragedies. I'm sure your kind innocent soul can handle it.
adambomb625: I thought Dionysus would be the drunk uncle
UnhappyYak: tried so long and fought so hard
loufghyslaufey: I wonder if Apollo is the "unreliable narrator" here?
 TehAmelie: yay, this game
Bruceski: So does she have these windows remade every new body she takes?
  Juliamon: Hecate probably magically alters them
 KeytarCat: huh
  Juliamon: she does know it's coming and all
josh___something: Also this is the magic grace world
 CururuGuasu: So Oppenheimer was Hephaestus?
josh___something: so, this is grace magic
josh___something: Or einstein
Bruceski: Einstein didn't make The Bomb. He was the previous generation of great scientists
josh___something: I was going off of what little I've seen of people theorizing from this song
Boopity: This song is very pretty... putting aside the intense subject matter
josh___something: Troy baker has a good singing voice
Boopity: Yeah, I feel like this game really underutilizes him
loufghyslaufey: Who? Where!?
cyrus_the_virus1117: 7
 zimmercj: I love how the singing voices are so different, but blend so well
cokroop: Ok my song for this was like punk rock
 CururuGuasu: Ooo, they have rotisserie chicken!
cokroop: Love the diversity of music
 TehAmelie: hmm, i think i got a very different song in my game, but still the same outcome
Bruceski: "anyway, enjoy the buffet. I thought I'd be too dead to pay for it so I went all out."
Boopity: Yeah, this song can be _completely_ different genres depending on your choice
josh___something: True, we ARE gonna die in 2 days
josh___something: Like someone in the chorus
josh___something: I like the green beach scene
loufghyslaufey: 
Bruceski: These people are terrible at secrets
loufghyslaufey: She was about to pull an All-Might->Deku circumstance so.....
Bruceski: "Gosh, I can't forget the importent part of the crimes I'm about to do that I was given by this guy who didn't want others to know. Forget my own head next."
Boopity: 
the_last_castaway: 
Boopity: "Deadlines" is too real 
Boopity: WOOOOW lol
 Dog_of_Myth: 
loufghyslaufey: Huh.
the_last_castaway: Laura Bailey and Troy Baker? Sweet!
 BusTed: Let's "Bee" Friends!
 TehAmelie: take care of your chest Apollo. i mean uh
 pn55: After breaking Apollo's heart yea 
cokroop: This was fun! Thanks for the stream  really enjoying the game!

TheAinMAP: Thank you for streaming.
Boopity: @TehAmelie Same 
loufghyslaufey: Call it, "Puppet Simulator" or something...
  Juliamon: I don't know that MFN is doing anything particularly novel for the genre that deserves a Talking Sim
loufghyslaufey: Kay. Got it.
loufghyslaufey: Something else...new. Soon.
  Juliamon: Obviously that's not a hard and fast rule, but it's good guidance to help keep your hopes in check
  Juliamon: Personally I'm excited to see them look at En Garde! even if James can't spell it.
