LoadingReadyRun: a bushel of bus hell?
LoadingReadyRun: equivalent to 64 pints of bus hell
KakuEpsilon: Every so often, I still get PTSD flashes of the Roundabout's pastishe of Desert Bus and having to play that over 8 hours to get a trophy.
KakuEpsilon: I feel like 7 days straight of Desert Bus is a Bushel of Bus Hell, at least for the drivers.
KakuEpsilon: Not to mention that Desert Bus having a VR version is kind of insane.
RockPusher: !search for treasure
LRRbot: You find: a Wandering Monster!
RockPusher sends the wandering monster to desertbus.org to set up a donor account
KakuEpsilon: Oh hey, Alfonso, it's nice to see you here in the Treasure Search.
DoodlestheGreat: @LoadingReadyRun Or it could be a bushy bus hell, where everyone forgot to shave for a few days.
Juliamon: or deliberately doesn't, for Movember
DoodlestheGreat: True, true.
KakuEpsilon: Bushy Bus Hell, where everyone is clean shaven but wearing fake beards.
Juliamon: I do hope the aftermarket beards return
DoodlestheGreat: Or maybe they're all carrying azaleas.
KakuEpsilon: Azaleas? In this time of year? In British Columbia?
TheMerricat:
Chat, just wishing everyone a preemptive Happy Godzilla day tomorrow. 70 years and counting. 
DoodlestheGreat: @KakuEpsilon Well, the bus is located in Arizona/Nevada.
Earthenone: !point
LRRbot: If you came here hoping for there to be a point to this, I have bad news for you.
TXC2: lrrbot speaks only the truth
KakuEpsilon: @DoodlestheGreat Riiight, what do you mean Arizona and Nevada aren't in British Columbia?
red_shoes_jeff: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: ChillPoint (Paul, Beej and Heather chat about Video Games and Video Game related news!) at Sat 02:00 PM PDT (0s ago).
TXC2:
let me tell you chat, it sure is FUN with a capital BUS to have to spend 20 mins to wrangle your internet back into functioning 
TXC2: anyway on with the chilling of points
KakuEpsilon: @TXC2 I had to suffer with that for a day thanks to a recent Hurricane who is not Helene but the other NERD, so I fel your paine
KakuEpsilon: feel it even
TXC2:
KakuEpsilon thanks, allthough your plight sounds like it was server then mine, I'm just belly aching
TXC2: *more severe
KakuEpsilon: Well sure, but it was also a few weeks ago. Possibly even months. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so.
TXC2: KakuEpsilon good point
Greyah: Time is a flat roundshape.
KakuEpsilon: Roundshape? So like.. a Taco?
TXC2: CONTACT

TXC2:
so wild that we made a song about hitting 1 million dollars lifetime on DB, and now we're over 10 million
TehAmelie:
just finished the homework in time 
RockPusher: TXC2 and that one million is a thing that has happened within a single year!
Juliamon: It tickles me every time we break a million in a run now
TehAmelie: BGC does remixes sometimes i know, but maybe 10 million will require a whole cover
TXC2: RockPusher indeed
Juliamon: It took 6 years to get that first million... and then chat took that as a challenge
TXC2: Juliamon as chat is wont to do
kusinohki: meows
kusinohki: james - "for the past 4 years, we've made 1 million dollars and thats..."
SaxPython:
Yo! Do I get to catch a Chill point Live! 
TXC2: SaxPython you sure do
kusinohki: carrie - "4 million dollars" james - "thanks carrie"
djalternative: oh right. I just remembered that I have rounds of the ppr I've yet to watch
SaxPython:
TXC2: TODAY!
RockPusher: Oh no! Engineering has taken root!
TehAmelie: ahoy!
TXC2: bus is comming
TXC2: !venga

DoodlestheGreat: The bus, the bus, the bus is on fire...

Earthenone: quite often @kusinohki
TXC2: kusinohki a surprisingly large amount
Juliamon: kusinohki Every time Twitch puts it on the front page
DoodlestheGreat: It's their schtick.
manfred909: Ubisoft did something stupid... it is a Tuesday
Earthenone: new fun throwback!
epsilon_vee: """"fun""""

TXC2: Ubisoft dropped a steaming pile of bus, it's a day ending in Y
TehAmelie: it does sound like they got ChatGPT to come up with the name too
SaxPython: Nft, like pogs
djalternative: a retro nft game from the 80's

SocraticMethod: Quartz
accountmadeforants:
I'm sure Square Enix is going to release *their* massive play-to-earn NFT game any day now 
kusinohki: i want it to be "unattainium"
TehAmelie: how about unlikeablium
TheMerricat: Quartz was the 'platform'. they called their currency.... DIGITS.
TehAmelie: or just Ubium
Laserbeaks_Fury: No, it is the kids who are wrong
TXC2: TehAmelie weapons grade Ubium
Juliamon: Wonder where that guy is now
SaxPython: Those sure are Nouns
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon Probably pivoted to grifting AI
Akaiatana:
The name sounds AI generated 
TXC2: an almost un-googlable name
kusinohki: just blame "the toxic fan base" and you too can avoid all criticism
SocraticMethod: Just wait until this story the sequel: electric boogaloo happens when Squeenix releases their own
Earthenone: these names are so stupid, i need to play Various Daylife again
Greyah: The name subscribes to the shotgun approach for search engine optimization and I hate it.
Laserbeaks_Fury: It feels like what you would call a BioWare protagonist
TehAmelie: "Bravely Default" makes more sense than theirs, without the context of what those words do in the game
Laserbeaks_Fury: Commander Inquisitor Spectre
mtvcdm: You can attach 'tactics' to really any game if you try hard enough
TehAmelie: Tacticool Tactics
SocraticMethod: Miku Miku Dance Tactics
TXC2: a chorincal, it a grimoire
mtvcdm: Cooking Mama Tactics. Someone get on it.
Laserbeaks_Fury: They just took all the things they used to in Final Fantasy titles
ontario_watson: did see the comment that it sounds like the name of something that would end up on Watch + Play, which is fair.
kusinohki: leader strategy...
Earthenone: sounds like a wargroove mod
kusinohki: hmm... less responsive
flouncy_magooo: Gonna name my next game Ham Sandwich for SEO optimisation
SaxPython:
accountmadeforants: @TehAmelie Bravely Default is also just an interesting name.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Buy them on the secondary market
TXC2:
SocraticMethod is that not hyper dimension neptunia ?
kusinohki: AAAA tactics so it's listed first in the yellow pages!
accountmadeforants:
Heroes are never born, heroes are made, forged from... from Ethereum. 
Greyah: When it sounds cheaper to go into Warhammer, you really gotta question what you're doing.
Laserbeaks_Fury: what was that card game with unique decks
Earthenone: keyforge?
TXC2:
getting into crack is cheeper the warhammer
SaxPython: Magnificent Paul
Earthenone: yeah demeo (sp*) comes to mind as a recent minifig game
Juliamon: you did
Laserbeaks_Fury: Gloomhaven?
ontario_watson: Wildermyth does that
Laserbeaks_Fury: Advanced Hero Quest
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 Not enough dance, complete lack of miku miku.
TXC2: SocraticMethod fair points
SocraticMethod: Does have some tactics, so it has that going for it
kusinohki: technically hero quest is a mini-fig dungeon crawler board game
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think later editions of Advanced Hero Quest had rules for generating dungeons as you explored
accountmadeforants: Moonbreaker also did the minifig thing, leaning more towards Warhammer
TehAmelie: the stores here mark the price of everything by kilogram, like several thousands for allergy nose sprays. i wonder what's the price of minifigs per kg. . .
Earthenone: i hope it becomes like EVE and we only hear about when someone breaks millions in minifigs
mtvcdm: Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, coming soon to a restaurant barcade slot machine near you
SaxPython:
Laserbeaks_Fury: Imagine if Wii Shop wasn't on there
Juliamon: It's honestly kinda great, I've listened to the Mario Galaxy soundtrack to go to sleep for a couple nights now
SaxPython: Rare has some stuff on there (Donkey Kong Country)
Earthenone:
so the inverse of alarmo juliamon?
Juliamon: It's just base yeah
TehAmelie: i bet there's dozens of people who will sign up for Nintendo Online for the music
Earthenone:
im the person who was kicked off the family plan
Juliamon: TehAmelie I mean, I did reup mine for it
BusTed: π¬
accountmadeforants:
@accountmadeforants Also, holy shit, looking at Moonbreaker's stats now... dang, that game tanked after release (despite positive acclaim) 
Earthenone: beej is playing the platonic ideal of a nintendo fan, not nesisarily himself
accountmadeforants: I think people wanted the music to just be available on regular, already-extant music streaming services.
accountmadeforants: That said, this approach seems fine as a bonus for NSO yeah
Juliamon: People 1) wanted the music either on an extant service or PURCHASEABLE DIRECTLY, 2) would like the music actually credited to the artists
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon I hadn't heard about the second point, that's dirty.
Juliamon: accountmadeforants yeah, the "Track Information" is literally just "(c) Nintendo" on EVERY TRACK
GlennSeto: Especially Nintendo is light on vocal tracks.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Hey, you never know. Those Inkling song might be full of swears
Invitare: Xenoblade fans were upset because it has no Xenoblade
kusinohki: all the swears come from ppl playing the games...
Juliamon: They don't usually, no, but THEY SHOULD
GlennSeto: To be fair, I would record game music compilations on cassette tapes, before I got into "real" music... but I was also odd like that.
OldUncleDan: Music for babbies and folks like me.

GlennSeto odd? or just from the 1980's?
Juliamon: It was a great opportunity to do better and they opted not to
accountmadeforants:
@Juliamon Oh they can fuck right off with that. My Guilty Gear tracks on YouTube Music are credited as "(Artist) & Arc System Works", as is proper https://i.imgur.com/jxMNgaO.png
Juliamon: like, why even did they bother putting in "Track Info" in the first place??
GlennSeto: @TXC2 fair
firehawkzoa: If you are going to lose your job after you complete a successful game getting proper credit is important for future jobs
accountmadeforants: Suddenly you have a gap on your resume and/or have to feel like you're lying to potential employers.
SaxPython:
Re: Nintendo Music // I had to walk away, but I wanted to add, I think N is going to enable a future Rhythm Game, and that is very exciting. Even if it's Just Dance: Nintendo Edition
Laserbeaks_Fury: But we all are way more excited about when Retro makes a Metroid game
accountmadeforants: Meanwhile, Starstruck credited CC sources while there was no actual requirement for attribution.
Juliamon: LoadingReadyRun Presents: Desert Bus
OldUncleDan:
I thought it was Team Ninja that made the Metroid games. 
TXC2: a Penn and Teller game
TehAmelie: i guess it's like DIsney owning the rights to everything their artists might draw. work for Nintendo and they take it all from you. which seems like a bad deal
mtvcdm: A LoadingReadyRun Tribute Experience
TXC2: there's like 10 people from LRR in the 30+ of Desert bus
ArcOfTheConclave: but then they might leave to nintendo
Juliamon: For when they inevitably get laid off by whoever owns their company at the moment
Earthenone: it might move the needle of value for people
Juliamon: it's me
Juliamon: I haven't touched my Switch in ages because of my physical situation, but I reupped my NSO for the music
BusTed:
Laserbeaks_Fury: that really shocked me
Laserbeaks_Fury: I thought for sure they would just make it a FTP
TXC2:
just like "Titanic" the named "Concord" is now cursed
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's funny, there's still a Secret Level Concord episode coming out
KakuEpsilon: Firewalk studios died so Titanic Concord Studioscould rise rfrom the ashes.
SocraticMethod: Neon Koi used to be named Savage Game Studios until mid-2023
TehAmelie: i had an idea of playing Concord on a Concorde in Concord, but probably arranging for operating Concord servers would be harder than a Concord plane
Laserbeaks_Fury: yeah it looked fine for me
SocraticMethod: Sortt of? It had some issues teaching mechanics and player retention
Lord_Hosk: Talented and skilled artists and programmers don't seem to have a direct translation to how well a game is received in any way these days.
KakuEpsilon: I can't wait for the Whu Happun? on it from Matt McMuscles.
TXC2: TehAmelie honestly, the hardest part would be finding enough fuel and qualified piolets, still easier then the servers
OmnipotentTrevor: They'd be better served laying off the execs than the devs
Laserbeaks_Fury: They asked people to buy a game in a market saturated with FTP options
accountmadeforants: The game itself also didn't work *that* well, from all I was able to see.
SocraticMethod: "Didn't light world on fire" is understatement. I think the best insight we got was that a) it didn't have agressive marketing to establish a AAA game and b) people who tried it didn't like it enough for word-of-mouth to carry it
Seagulyus: and C) it was a 40 dollar game in the same genre as Overwatch 2 (which is free)
Juliamon: Salvage the assets, like that one game that failed and dumped the assets on Unity and half of W+P games use it now
TheMerricat: The thing that blows my mind is both of these studios were purchased essentially based ON the fact they were making the games that got canceled.
mtvcdm: But think of the tax reasons, Heather!
SocraticMethod: Firewalk was _really_ expensive studio, they were in the most expensive part of Seattle
Laserbeaks_Fury: There's a TV show coming out, assume they don't can that too
accountmadeforants: There was like a 10 minute CGI episode on one of the Sony PlayStation event things and people hated it.
SocraticMethod: @Laserbeaks_Fury Not TV show, episode in Amazon TV show
KakuEpsilon: @mtvcdm The very soon to be illegal tax reasosns!
TehAmelie: six months of cutscenes? take that Kojima
Laserbeaks_Fury: Secret Level
Amentur: Secret Level
Laserbeaks_Fury: yeah it's definitely an anthology
SocraticMethod: I'm trying to find numbers, but the open betas lost like 90% of playerbase between two weekends, which doesn't really speak well of the quality of the game
ProcyonFlynn:
Zima Blue 
TheMerricat: There is a reason why it sounds like Love Death and Robots Paul : "Tim Miller is overseeing a new animated anthology series, Secret Level, from the creators of Love, Death And Robots. "
Laserbeaks_Fury: ohh I hope a bootleg of those cutscenes find the light of day
SocraticMethod: IMO Concord was a game that applied specific niche, but it did never had a chance because it was made with a AAAA budget
TXC2: so a made for netflix movie?
KakuEpsilon: It is Sony we're talking about. a Data breach with them is very evitable
Laserbeaks_Fury: It really feels like they want to purge Concord from existence.
TXC2: like polybius, but real
Laserbeaks_Fury: Episode 11: Dysentery
Kragaar: Oregon Trail, with special guest Lightning McQueen as "the horse"
KakuEpsilon: The Oregon Trail is neat and all, but where's our Organ Trail sequels.
TehAmelie: or When the Rivers were Trails
KakuEpsilon: Starring Jack Black as Dysentry
TXC2: i'd wager there's at least 10 western movies that cover the push to Oregon
CaptainSpam: The Trail to Oregon, Oregon: The Trail, Trails: Oregon, Trailing Oregon, The Oregano Trail... (none of those should be real)
SocraticMethod: Someone will die, but from disrepecting Terry Crews
ontario_watson: the story of MECC and the development of the game would be interesting to adaptβ¦. maybe not as a movie.
Laserbeaks_Fury: How many oxen do you lose fording the river
CaptainSpam: Oh, so that one IS real?
CaptainSpam: Well, crap.
KakuEpsilon: I remember seeing a tiny Handheld Oregon Trail
TXC2:
surely the song about dying from dysentery is from ASS! the musical ? 
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh yeah John Candy
TehAmelie: i think of when Mr Peanutbutter paid millions to a greeting card company for the rights to the concept "Birthday Dad". it's a parody of Hollywood, but
Laserbeaks_Fury: the premise was funny
TXC2: I suspect that sadly all of John Candy's movies are "of their time"
Akaiatana: Colonel Mustard
Mystaira: General Pudding
TXC2: and I say that as someone who loves Uncle Buck
CaptainSpam: @TXC2 I suspect a LOT of movies will be "of their time" eventually.
TXC2: CaptainSpam indeed
TehAmelie: prophecy: Ubisoft's next fully AI generated innovation will be Custer's Revenge Tactics
TXC2:
TehAmelie a pox on your house if that comes to be
TehAmelie: i blame Apollo
TheMerricat:
@TehAmelie So... I'm going to assume you know there was a 'bootleg' Atari 2600 'adult' game called Custers Revenge.
accountmadeforants: I hope the hack is called AlarmOpen
TehAmelie: you may assume
Lord_Hosk: Wait, custers revenge was bootleg? I thought it was just... A game that was made. It was always sighted as the reason why Nintendo had such strict rules on who could make NES games
Doc_Layzah: Debug?
SocraticMethod: Device Firmware Update mode?
RubikDarkwill: And they've already put DOOM on it
OldUncleDan: The "How Did This Played" Custer's Revenge episode was wild. And very necessary.
KakuEpsilon: @Lord_Hosk Technically, it was why Nintendo hadsuch a stritct policy for the OFFICIAL gray plastic NEScarts, which is why you had bootleg games on that having completely different colours and shapes
accountmadeforants: But yeah, the firmware is using hardware encryption, but the hardware encryption in question has vulnerabilities that lets them dump the key.
KakuEpsilon: and I believe it was the Bootlegging scene in general and not the porn games
TheMerricat: @Lord_Hosk So bootleg may be the wrong term, but it was not made with Atari's consent in any way whatsoever.
djalternative: people seem to think it's neet but not worth it considering we all have phones
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Cursed Homebrew
djalternative: fucking tastic
Juliamon: Fntastic at it again
SocraticMethod:
ntastic
KakuEpsilon: Heather's gonna go all Hollow Knight on Fntastic.
TXC2: busing tastic
Juliamon: You'll love what they're doing now
mtvcdm: @Juliamon Will I?!
Lord_Hosk: They are making a Mr Pigglesworth game
SocraticMethod: Time is a flat cube
TheMerricat: These guys should colab with Peter Molyneux.
Juliamon: Inviting people to make maps for it. For free.
mtvcdm: Ah yes
mtvcdm: The 'fans do our work for free' scheme
SocraticMethod: Spec work is the best work! Free labour AND free publicity!
djalternative: okay. first sticking point. Items is a terrible name
TXC2: this feels like it evades tax in some way
mtvcdm: Exposure! (jazz hands)
TheMerricat: "We swear we aren't going to steal all the most popular prop hunt maps for TF2 on GameBannana!"
Juliamon: They're accepting hand-drawn maps
Juliamon: so you don't have to own the game I guess
mtvcdm: You'll get a Chris Houlihan room
TXC2: mtvcdm (fingers fall off due to exposure)
Akaiatana: People chose retribution
djalternative: If you want to make a cool map for a game, make a minecraft map
Akaiatana: Spec work of any kind is a red flag
RealGamerCow: People die from exposure
TehAmelie: I receive: as much labor as you all collectively want to give me | you receive: payment for one unit of work
djalternative: I prefer protests to contests
accountmadeforants: Ubisoft also tried that for Beyond Good & Evil 2. And I think there was a similar kerfuffle for Wasteland. Basically, pay people for spec work, you shitheads.
mtvcdm: Those poor four people
accountmadeforants: The map is just π yea
adept_nekomancer: "This is a map of my hand."
TheMerricat: My map is an ascii drawing of me mooning you.
SocraticMethod: "this is just a picture of a hand turkey"
mtvcdm: Draw this pirate and/or this parrot and get judged by Famous Artists
djalternative: they still make plenty of those, Heather. Some had to shut down submissions last year because of AI slop submissions
TehAmelie: i remember DC Comics had a contest where they wanted people to draw specifically Harley Quinn sexily bathing with a toaster
mtvcdm: Mortal Kombat 356/2 Days Birth By Sleep
TehAmelie: just so much class
Juliamon: Today is October 33rd
Akaiatana: Welcome to NO OVER
KakuEpsilon: Coming just in time for Desert Bus to be over
adept_nekomancer: I for one support the halloween rebellion.
accountmadeforants: Their reasoning was that the previous game was MK12 and had time travel nonsense, so now the clock reset to 1.
TXC2: the horrors are state of mind anyway
Laserbeaks_Fury: Ghostface is also in HUNT: Showdown now too
djalternative: Paul, are you going to answer your phone or what?
mtvcdm: You add the horror movie character.... AFTER Halloween
Laserbeaks_Fury: Actually, it's not the Scream movie people. It's the mask
TheMerricat: Ghostface is a lot of pepole, right?
RealGamerCow: Fortnite has ruined everything
KaleidoscopeMind: @Juliamon not march 1707?
korvys: Yeah, Ghostface is not like... a martial artist
korvys: He is in DbD, I think?
Akaiatana:
You can't target Ghostface's head
TXC2: there's a guy with a MACHINE GUN in Mortal Kombat
red_shoes_jeff: So... WHY November?
Greyah: He literally is in DbD, just not branded as such I think?
Laserbeaks_Fury: There is someone who owns the rights to the mask that was used in Scream, and they are the ones licensing it to games
GlennSeto: Oh, MK has had celebrity cameo DLC for longer than Fortnite has been a thing.
korvys: Yeah, he *is* in Dead by Daylight
TheMerricat: @Laserbeaks_Fury GOOD for them!
KakuEpsilon: Ghostface is a Trope-knowing Killer. So He probably just can do cheatcodes to beat everyone
GlennSeto: Drops you into black hole?
Lord_Hosk: Then Mortal Combat 9 is all about Family
TehAmelie: his whole gimmick was secretly being two guys to get people by surprise, not any kind of fighting prowess (spoilers for Scream)
Sethalidos: he spaghettifies you in the Event Horizon of the black hole
JankJared: He erases you from existence lol
GlennSeto: Stryker has guns.
djalternative: there's a saw hat someone throws
korvys: Baraka has arm-knives, kinda
TehAmelie: and everyone can just teleport at will!
KakuEpsilon: Most of the Gun havers are uncanonized
GlennSeto: Some of them are murder robots.
mtvcdm: It's a fight to the death, there's no such thing as sporting
Doc_Layzah: Isn't one character just named katana?
mtvcdm: Ehhhhhhh
SocraticMethod: @Doc_Layzah Kitana
Laserbeaks_Fury: i mean, they can die. -ish
djalternative: Immortal Combat
SeismicLawns: there's at least a couple that aren't traditionally mortal
TXC2: some of them are small g gods
GlennSeto: It's more like Deadly Kombat.
Akaiatana: The combat is mortal. The fight ends at some point
TheMerricat: @TehAmelie So I've only watched the ones half asleep, but wasn't each of the sequels gimmicks that someone new is wearing the mask for various reasons?
GlennSeto: I would not want to jumpscare Goro...
mtvcdm: You can still rip their heads off
korvys: Oh, yeah, Raiden is just a god
SeismicLawns: omniman's in there right? he's defo not normal mortal
TehAmelie: probably. i don't think i watched any of them
Akaiatana: The god of time has a clock glock
KakuEpsilon: The main thing about the Scream Franchise is literally that everyone is Genre-Savvy and super smug about it
djalternative: you know what? a Ghostface skin for scorpion might've made more sense
GlennSeto: Omniman gets up to some pre-Crisis Superman stuff in the comics.
djalternative: I HAD 100% and then there were updates
Lord_Hosk: @djalternative Ditto
GoblinMyra:
red_shoes_jeff: YA DON'T SAY?
TXC2: I had that same problem with Vampire survivor
RockPusher: I have 100% completion but I am not good enough at the minigames to get all the cheevos
djalternative: the new VS update is FANTASTIC
RockPusher: I'd have to cheese it
Akaiatana: Didn't Adam attempt that?
Lord_Hosk: The Mini games are impossible... (not quite impossible but impossible enough)
KakuEpsilon: I believe Heather can do it if she hasn't already
accountmadeforants: Adam is the premiere Junimo Cart player
djalternative: The Nintendo64 XXX emulator
Akaiatana: You can download the emu later
TXC2: 2 games ? so like the original launch of the N64?
GlennSeto: Shadowman got a ton of press back in the day.
djalternative: Put Mario64 on the Mature emulator
KakuEpsilon: Shadow Man 1 is well regarded. Sandowman 2econd Comming? Not so much
RealGamerCow: There were porn games for the atari 2600 so...
TXC2: like Tenchu on the PS1 being 18 rated here in the UK for violience
TheMerricat brings back up Custer's Revenge for the Atari 2600. Cartoon porn existed well before the 64 era 
djalternative: clearly chat is saying Custer's Revenge should be on the N64 Mature emulator
KakuEpsilon: Man, Monster Party was one hell of a scary ass game despite seemingly too goofy for it
GlennSeto: It's wild how the N64 is still dodgy to emulate in software and FPGA rebuilds and decompiled-to-native PC ports are often the best way to play these games.
KakuEpsilon: And on the NES no less
TXC2: right chat I'm off
GlennSeto: Turok 2 rose to schoolyard infamy thanks to the Cerebral Bore.
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather and Paul
KakuEpsilon: Most Acclaim games were pretty cool until Acclaim decided that they needed to be weird about Marketing...
TheMerricat: Night @TXC2 !
GlennSeto: @TXC2 Good night!
electric_claire: Console FPS controls were also a *nightmare*
TehAmelie: we tolerated Doom on SNES!
KakuEpsilon: Banjo Tooie is also impossible to play on N64 Hardware
djalternative: who doesn't like a playable version of La Jete?
Juliamon: We had 5fps at 240p and we enjoyed it!
adept_nekomancer: "Back in the day we played first-person Powerpoint and we liked it!"
TehAmelie: we had to ban the really good gun in Goldeneye deathmatches, not cause it was broken but because it cased too much lag
GlennSeto: Even Ocarina and Majora were a little chuggish.
KakuEpsilon: HEY.
djalternative: so we put Tim Walz behind a real Taxi and told him to recreate the game in real life
BusTed: @TehAmelie RCP90
KakuEpsilon: I still have my Dreamcast, just the laser is burned out...

Fuzzra: @KakuEpsilon A project!
RealGamerCow: AOC used to be a big LoL player
djalternative: I remember AOC's big AmongUs stream
GlennSeto: AOC called into Hbomberguy's Donkey Kong 64 marathon.
adept_nekomancer: @RealGamerCow So she's experienced in dealing with trolls and toxic people then.
KakuEpsilon: @Fuzzra I suppose, but I don't know how to actually fix it so it's just duct-taped shut with a "Laser Burned Out!" label.
TheMerricat:
@RealGamerCow So is that how she obtained the thick skin necessary to run for President?
djalternative: hell yeah
s1ck1y: didn't his wife have to hide his console because he was playing it 24/7 for a bit
djalternative: she sold it
s1ck1y: LMAO
mtvcdm: Oh, Tim, you can't park right on the light pole
GhostValv: I hope there's no "crazy taxi to the polls"
Fuzzra: @KakuEpsilon There's bound to be a really thorough rebuild guide on an ancient forum and CD lasers are old surplus stock these days.
Juliamon: He's not nearly as old as he looks, he's legitimately in a realistic age bracket for retro-gamer.
TheMerricat: Chat, remember when the only time politicians only spoke about video games to demonize them as ruining the youths?
GlennSeto: Pong on an ocilliograph.
BusTed: ancient, like the Dreamcast π
TehAmelie: ironically this is a very arcade game
2 raiders from TheMayMew have joined!
TheMerricat:
Welcome raiders.
minister_a_reformed_soul: Hiya
TheMayMew: \o
KakuEpsilon: @Fuzzra Possibly. I don't really have the money for anything right now that isn't food....
Caffine1138: definitely don't miss the days of Jack Thompson getting airtime
TehAmelie: ah, Jack Thompson, we should thank him for making Desert Bus happen (not really)
Fuzzra:
@KakuEpsilon Oh, I get that one. That's why i have a home filled with scavenged parts and developed a hobby of fixing up old stuff. 
djalternative: Imagine the first Mythic Ranked President/PM
TheMerricat: "please fax Nintendo HQ a photo of you and your friend holding up today's newspaper to prove you know who they are"
BusTed: it is super cool
Sorator13: so the Lannisters were riding Castameres?

Thanks for subscribing, Rexsplosion! (Today's storm count: 24)
KakuEpsilon: I'll just bring it over to your house, you can fix it and we can play some Power Stone 2. :3c
TehAmelie: i'm gonna guess it's good there's no collision in that game
ArcOfTheConclave: iirc $99
TehAmelie: so a brontosaur won't block the road
Greyah: Video games were a mistake.
Rexsplosion: PREVIOUSLY 5mil gold, now $90 gold, but $90 of gold is like 1.3mil
Rexsplosion: around 3k
Fuzzra: @KakuEpsilon Yay!
TehAmelie: i don't think you can give it a real money value, unless you can exchange gold back to real money
mtvcdm: $400, maybe just chop off an arm or so
Rexsplosion: i was at 3.6mil hoping they made the brutosaur available again, so this was amazing to me, so i just converted the gold to tokens to buy it
SocraticMethod: @TehAmelie EVE also can only do one-way conversions yet everything is reported in RL money
BusTed: sometimes it would show up in the black market auction house, and would go for max money amounts
TehAmelie: it's like half of a real currency, and not the half you want. . .
Weagle: The gold exchange with the WoW Token is why it's $90 and not $100 since it's 6 tokens
Greyah: I love that this is not only a comically overpriced in-game thing as "anniversary event" thing, but it's not even NEW.
TheMerricat: Now how many players are going to be super pissed that the $99 version destroys the sale value of their own mount?
Greyah: Like, they didn't even bother to make a new mount for this. This is a thing that's existed for years apparently.
Weagle: You can't sell the mount after you get it, TheMerricat
BusTed:
DeM0nFiRe: π€
s1ck1y: HEATHER
dumbo3k: That was a great joke!
sephsays: get out
RealGamerCow:
mtvcdm: Yep, toe to tip a Heather joke
maxthefourth:
djalternative: Dinos ARE made of oil
TheMerricat:
@Weagle Revised question, how many are pissed they had to spend as much as they did, and now it's $99
Fuzzra: I may have to use that joke to annoy a child tomorrow
Rexsplosion: @BusTed ooh, a drawfee fan!
BusTed:
@Rexsplosion 
maxthefourth: Bros
sephsays: brontoseese
Laserbeaks_Fury: They're good Bronts, Dog
RealGamerCow: Emily and Charlotte?
ArcOfTheConclave: brothers, brontazaki?
Weagle: Longbois
BusTed: long
Rexsplosion: Longbois
TehAmelie: i believe it's "thunder lizards"
TehAmelie:
s1ck1y: what do you call a blind dinosaur? an idonthinkhesaurus
sephsays: bigguns
Manae: Schadenfreude event with this mount, too: released right before a bot ban wave, and many said botters had bought one and couldn't be refunded
maxthefourth: The Longest Bronts
TehAmelie: the Brontesisters
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh you mean the top and bottom plates
BusTed: perfect
KakuEpsilon:
I already paid off my student loans forever ago, but everyone should get Student Loans forgiven so they can have money to be buried with. 
BusTed: d'oh
TheMerricat: If you are buying the Pro, you are buying new plates... cause you are someone who is willing to buy the Pro.
KakuEpsilon: Man, I got a 10ish dollar stand with two connecting controller chargign ports and it was pretty sweet.
Juliamon: it feels very "oh, we forgot that was a thing, oops oh well not our problem"
Laserbeaks_Fury: You are making all the second party sellers make a whole new set of plates to sell
BusTed: an extremely open-faced sandwich
TehAmelie: i've sometimes tried to make sandwiches with pickles instead of bread. it's hard
Caffine1138: *eyes the grey horde* I feel attacked
KakuEpsilon: A sandwich without bread is a Meatloaf
adept_nekomancer: You could make a wrap I guess.
accountmadeforants: Painting a PS5 with Citadel Colour paint would *definitely* be more expensive than some new plates
Laserbeaks_Fury: If you run out of paper towels, you can use bread
beowuuf: humourous factual mis statements
jessicaengle: Hi Chat. Are we doing BreadPoint today?
TheMerricat: @Laserbeaks_Fury however do not attempt to use it as toilet paper. if you thought leaving fuzz back there was bad... especially if it's rye bread...
Fuzzra: Bread can be carbonised and used as serious thermal insulation.
adept_nekomancer: @jessicaengle And the House of Lies!

KaleidoscopeMind: loaf-shaped bag of air
AFamiliarCalledEl: Are you asking me to have personal responsibility?
TehAmelie: i have sometimes used bread for hand warmers. on the walk home from the store, when they have warm bread and it's cold
mtvcdm: !addquote (Heather) [now] Please don't do any of the things I tell you to do.
LRRbot: New quote #9126: "Please don't do any of the things I tell you to do." βHeather [2024-11-02]
