PharaohBender27: So, didn't see the last episode live due to an outing with friends, but did watch the VOD, and . . . boy was there a lot to unpack in that third act.
Juliamon: yeah...... yeah
Juliamon: cain't wait for it on TS
Juliamon: -i
Juliamon: meanwhile, still waiting on comcast to deliver that email so I can re-add my paypal email to my donor account
PharaohBender27: Including stuff where I felt there was some point being made, but couldn't quite figure out *what* that point was, and some stuff that, without getting too much into history or politics, made me go, "OK, this is kind of an oversimplification/plays into the foundational mythology of some problematic ideologies"
PharaohBender27: You can actually donate directly by credit card this year!
Juliamon: I know, and it's looking like I'll need to
Juliamon: I still want to have at least one backup email for my account though
PharaohBender27: Fair enough
Juliamon:
Earthenone:
toturi91: first time catching y’all live
PharaohBender27: Also, I'm going to blame this game for me thinking (and sometimes slightly mixing up) the overtures to Rienzi and Tristan und Isolde
PharaohBender27:
Welcome, @toturi91 ! 
korvys: Did we get a new bot?
Juliamon: No, we've been using this one for awhile now
Juliamon: it replaced the twitterbot
korvys: Ah, I see
PharaohBender27:
Ahoy-hoy, 
and 
!
accountmadeforants: A tiny dancer who will hold you closer?
ArdCollider: hold me closer café dancer
TheMerricat:
Ian is either suffering or providing a stroke chat 
DaxStrife: Just waiting for Beej in the green-screen suit to burst in and dance in the background.
korvys: Mittens
korvys: Mittians
korvys: MittIan Horner
PharaohBender27: Ian has regrets
Strebenherz: Beware the internet Ian
ArdCollider: hi bob, etc.
Strebenherz: Please don't ever change Ian, your Ianness is fantastic
wedge_x: Living Fossil, Ian Horner
PharaohBender27: IAN
Strebenherz: IAN
Sarah_Serinde:
there's also 
iarethel0ser: IAN
PharaohBender27: You keep digging!
Pazy160: I guess its time to learn how to edit the wiki, add "Don't call Ian 'Fart Hands' "
Sarah_Serinde:
PharaohBender27:
Sarah_Serinde: Heather has great emotes
ArdCollider:
Strebenherz: first rule of bite club, don't talk about bite club
BusTed: 🤔
NotCainNorAbel:
@Strebenherz second rule of bite club; tell all of your friends about bite club
accountmadeforants: Hand in the upper right is doing the best job
PharaohBender27: Well, it's just titling convention. If you can't show the subtitle and title as separated via separated lines, use a colon to indicate that what is after it is the subtitle
Sarah_Serinde: That *does* sound nice, my mice keep underperforming
RatherLargeToad: In the not too distant future…
PharaohBender27: Next Sunday AD
korvys: What did you call me?
PharaohBender27: Oh, by the way, for the benefit of anyone in chat last week (which I was absent for live) - the statue/mausoleum figure wasn't meant to look like Lincoln, he's meant to look like Wagner.
accountmadeforants: 20XX are all the regular in-game songs, 20XX Bonus are the alternate variants, and 30XX has one song just for the hell of it.
accountmadeforants:
The game's FAQ is great, by the way. It includes answers to such pressing questions as "How do I play with a Wii guitar controller (wirelessly)?": https://starstruckgame.com/faq.html
accountmadeforants:
You can also hold a keyboard or leverless sideways, which is what I ended up doing 
gsyhiap: An improvised sneeze, impressive.
accountmadeforants: Oh dang, an X-Plorer? That would be sick
Juliamon: oh wow Red Octane
Juliamon: that takes me back
DrakoniteDev: they were just a shell that outsources the peripherals to madcats by GH3
accountmadeforants: There's a Test button
arkilyd subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 125 months, currently on a 125 month streak!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, arkilyd! (Today's storm count: 7)
accountmadeforants: Definitely worth trying
DrakoniteDev:
I have a box of guitar controllers somewhere if you want to stop over and borrow one 
Most barely used!
accountmadeforants: What kind of controller and/or adapter was that, by the way? Because some of them do require you to restart the game and disable Steam Input.
PharaohBender27: Welp
DrakoniteDev: (disclaimer: several are prototypes and not guaranteed to work)
Strebenherz: The one where you fought the devil or something?
Strebenherz: IRCC that was a BUS of a game in difficulty
PharaohBender27: OK, going to go start making enchiladas for dinner. See you later, when they're in the oven!
DaxStrife: "B" for "Better."
accountmadeforants:
Juliamon: I swear we were teased with a Gitaroo Man remaster in the last year or two, are we BOTH hallucinating?
QuixoticScrivener: I would probably have to pull out G-Lens
Strebenherz: "products may not look like this"
accountmadeforants: "This picture is a product of our imagination"
QuixoticScrivener: food on plates may look different than the menu
Juliamon: 'for display purposes only'
SquareDotCube: I think the big thing I'd change with it is swap bumpers with triggers
accountmadeforants: You can change that in the options
DrakoniteDev: I am a fan of no-fail rhythm games
SquareDotCube: Or, go with an all bumper and trigger setup.
accountmadeforants: You can set a whole bunch of different symbols (or none at all)
accountmadeforants: You can do that too in the Custom mapping yeah
DrakoniteDev: this is now giving me PTSD
SquareDotCube: Also make it that bumper and trigger does the same.
AnderKryst subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 75 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, AnderKryst! (Today's storm count: 8)
accountmadeforants: Yeah, face buttons alone won't work, because you need to be able to press all buttons simultaneously in any combination
accountmadeforants: But shoulders+triggers would if you want
QuixoticScrivener: triggers only make sense for shooty games
accountmadeforants: (Or I guess you could use a combination of D-Pad + Face Buttons)
accountmadeforants: Wake up to your personalized sleep paralysis demon!
DrakoniteDev: my android watch does vibration alarm. old fitness tracker does too
DrakoniteDev: X very common for reload
QuixoticScrivener: I use a Switch controller, but set Steam to X-Box layout... I may be a bad person.
DrakoniteDev: wait... what controller are you using?
DrakoniteDev:
yeah, was confused which xbox had a touchpad
DrakoniteDev: as a playstation dev since PS2... I hate the touchpad.
RatherLargeToad:
frog times, best times 
accountmadeforants: The touchpad=start mapping is probably a Steam Input thing. I think it defaults to splitting the touchpad into a right=start and left=select layout. (Since most games don't/can't acknowledge it as its own separate button)
accountmadeforants:
In fighting games it's sometimes used as a Reset in training mode, which is very convenient
DrakoniteDev: I've yet to see a use that made it worth it. On PS4/5 the "select" is share and not used by games.
DrakoniteDev: I've seen it used to scroll maps, but very meh experience
accountmadeforants: Oh, and in SF6 I use it as a Right Stick (via Steam Input, not built into the game) for the 3D parts, because my fightpad has a touchpad but not a stick.
DaxStrife: The only game I remembered using the PS4 touchpad for is petting Morgana in "Persona 5 Royal."
accountmadeforants: I think the PS Vita's *rear* touchpad has seen more use than the PS4 and PS5's combined.
Juliamon: Yep, it was
Sarah_Serinde: It was totally Pokemon Pinball
Sarah_Serinde: Man I loved that game
Juliamon: I thought that was the coolest shit
accountmadeforants: I'm a bit annoyed Xbox hasn't added gyro and precision haptics yet, that'd be a nice boon to the market (especially PC via XInput)
DrakoniteDev: It gets expensive to support all the platform quirks. Game I work on doesn't support HD haptics on PS5 because we just can't dedicate the time/money for me to implement it.
DrakoniteDev: sharing your seaman on public transit might creep people out, TBH
accountmadeforants: They were trying to convince Zach, mainly
Juliamon: This song was weird as fuck but also slapped
accountmadeforants: Like "Damn, this kid is an idiot, guess we need to teach him via the power of song!"
accountmadeforants: You can, either on Steam or on many streaming platforms
accountmadeforants: And Bandcamp!
accountmadeforants: And probably whatever music streaming service you use (it was on YouTube Music, at least)
jessieimproved: Well you don't own anything you "buy" on Steam
LordZarano: Accelerometers were another one that started out super niche in a few Game Boy games and have now become almost standard. Although thankfully replaced by gyroscopes now
putz12a: Hostess Munchies
putz12a: I have a bag of the Tangy Ketchup chips beside me right now
accountmadeforants: Okay, yeah, it's (at minimum) on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.
jessieimproved: The wheel weaves as the wheel wills
wedge_x: the only way to separate the art from the artist is mechanically
Strebenherz: i've tried dune a couple times but the amount of in-universe words feel like a barrier
Riandisa: I read Dune because it was in my mother's massive collection of books and I was at a place in jr high where I read any book with 300+ pages
accountmadeforants: Yeah, the beatmaps in this game are real satisfying, but also feel like they were designed for an actual guitar controller (which I respect the hell out of)
accountmadeforants: Lucy is rocking that sax
gualdhar: you might be down with the Saxness
PaperDoopliss: I'm inspired to get up and do the stuff
accountmadeforants: I'm inspired to get up and go to bed, have a good one y'all
chianeko: Is it a break or is it over? DST has me messed up.
Juliamon: Break

wedge_x: mmm, government minutes
Juliamon: They didn't give you a 'free' hour, they just returned the one they took from you
SnyperWoIf: Going back to less-sweet sodas: should be possible to get unsweetened flavors to add to your soda stream, and then, simple syrup is both simple and sugar
wedge_x: we're all friends here for the moment
BusTed:
SnyperWoIf: XD
SnyperWoIf: "Oh yeah, I'm in charge?"
wedge_x: the moonbase needs an overhead intercom system
wedge_x: no one will abuse that
ShaneLeeAtk: For comedic effect only
SnyperWoIf: What are canadians voting for this election season? Prime Moose?
QuixoticScrivener: that would be weird to hear on the background of streams
niccus: what jingle would you set for the intercom
wedge_x: I used to make MASH announcements in the middle of the night at my first job out here
kusinohki: thought it was a laugh-a-tron (that gained sentience??)
Orxolon: good evening everyone!
SnyperWoIf: Ah, actually important elections
SAJewers: Nova Scotia is about to have one on November 26th IIRC
gualdhar: are the BC elections as crazy as American elections are, or are Canadians still civil?
QuixoticScrivener: gawd, I wish we used Metric
SnyperWoIf: They are like states, but providential
SaxPython: !clip
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
SaxPython: But also I like the lore that Ian lives in a small provincial town
SnyperWoIf: Biblically accurate guitar playing
kusinohki: trying to say this jokingly - I love how smug the canadians are with their "correct" measurement system when in reality it's a big mess algamation of 2 systems that don't play well together
Juliamon: kusinohki the simultaneous smugness AND acknowledgement of its actual messiness
SnyperWoIf: What's funny is, most folks from the states know metric and imperial and just think that both are terrible
PharaohBender27 returns, now that dinner's in the oven
kusinohki: never had a piano lesson, but I was able to teach myself both hands of linus and lucy, I just could never play both at the same time....
QuixoticScrivener: What? The USA, Myanmar, and Liberia are the ones still using Imperial?
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: if canadians measure everything by the hockey rink, how /do/ they measure hockey rinks?
PharaohBender27: @SnyperWoIf I can convert miles and kilometers without too much trouble, but when it comes to temperature or volume, I just have to either Google it or remember from rote memory. I know there's formulas, but they involve fractions
Sarah_Serinde: Also Americans often (not everyone, not all the time) talk like their experiences/norms are the default so it's also kind of a defence/pushback against that
kusinohki: I'm still using rods and stones with my abacus
SnyperWoIf: yeah, but if I ask you for a 5mm socket or a 1/4" socket, you know roughly what those sizes are, right?
Sarah_Serinde: There's a lot of you and you can be kind of overwhelming
wedge_x: and yet we're also the country who couldn't sell a 1/3 pounder burger because everyone thought it was less than a quarter punder
PharaohBender27: Yeah, we sure can
SnyperWoIf: If I say 20C or 75F, you know that is a generally comfortable day
DaxStrife: Starstruck: Hands of Fart.
SaxPython: @sarah_serinde understatement of the year
kusinohki: well, you know what they say - 5 out of 4 americans are bad at fractions
SnyperWoIf: @kusinohki XD
PharaohBender27: @SnyperWoIf ... Kind of? Then again, I have found myself to be terrible at judging size/distance measurements correctly by sight
gualdhar: not even frog fractions?
PharaohBender27: @kusinohki And 73.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot!
SaxPython:
Can Fractions also get an exemption
SaxPython: Boooo!
e_bloc: jokes on you, pi is irrational
BusTed: cut 'em no slack?
QuixoticScrivener: I think that is supposed to mean that the Shredder is relentless.
SaxPython: Flawless episode idea
SnyperWoIf: Krang
SquareDotCube: What if Shredder was Kathleen's Anime Club President
gualdhar: that's the original AI system
jessieimproved: My brother and I were upset that the Barbies would not fit in the Technodrome with the TMNTs
SaxPython: AI that makes paperclip energy
gualdhar: get all turtles, eventually one is the right turtle
BusTed: James Avery was great
PharaohBender27: My favorite "misheard lyric" story is my mother saying that, when hearing Van Morrison's "Gloria," she thought the "G-L-O-R-I-A" in the chorus was "She's got a wall-eye, eh"
Strebenherz: Rest in peace Philip Banks
wedge_x: there;s a thunderstorm in Ard's minecraft game, so 'turtle satisfaction' was exceptionally dramatic here
SnyperWoIf: "Turtle Satisfaction" played a great set at the lake last week
omdorastrix: Oh - we doing Disklexia now?

PharaohBender27: Also people are already suggesting Talking Sim take a look at this
kusinohki: does ufo 50 have a rythem game??
SaxPython: Do you want a sequel? Or something new by the same team?
SnyperWoIf: Someone last stream mentioned that the game would be good for Talking Simulator. Get a philosophical perspective on it from Cameron
niccus: surprisingly iirc not really
niccus: everything is available
PharaohBender27: Like a hamster wheel
SnyperWoIf: It would fit right in with the PS2 games of the era
SnyperWoIf: Earthbound mention!
PharaohBender27: Abort mission
