SaxPython: LRR looking for a Stenographer
kusinohki: "so much room for activities!!"
adept_nekomancer: And an entire D&D session of players who wanted to solve every problem by seducing it.

 SymphonySolstice: protip: "I can't even do x!" is not a compliment
Lysander_salamander: someplace public
kusinohki: tried to sew some ripped jeans once.  repair job didn't even last a week.  *cry*
Lysander_salamander: like shrimps
Boopity: Wait, what's the sitch on dinosaurs and color. Are they like dogs? 
 RandomTrivia: Are they a cuttlefish?
adept_nekomancer: I mean, they're like early birds.  So how do birds see color?
Lysander_salamander: maybe it's contrabass flute
 SquareDotCube: could be girl we keep wanting to get the name of
Lysander_salamander: awwww
Lysander_salamander: they're so cute
Lysander_salamander: I should get this game
 RandomTrivia: How dare this game be so darn cute
Lysander_salamander: heck
SaxPython:   
Lysander_salamander: oh no
Boopity: @adept_nekomancer Huh, apparently birds have more color cones than us. Neat!
Lysander_salamander: heck, freaking textbooks
adept_nekomancer: @Boopity Did not know that.  So they might see color differently.  Interesting!

 accountmadeforants: Oh, right, Rosa literally works there, she probably does know which other bands are there.
Lysander_salamander: uh oh
KeytarCat: mm, I should get hawaiian bbq...
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!)

Lysander_salamander: hopefully no sabotage
 Jillexie: Uh oh

KeytarCat: Whee, ttrpgs and personal problems!
 Jillexie: Brining RL issues into RPGing always works out well.
 BusTed: They're calling it "keth"...
Lysander_salamander: I like how the sub game has a different dialogue thing
 accountmadeforants: @BusTed Alright, calm down Ice-T
SaxPython: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ArborealSpunkyWheelPeoplesChamp-KOje4EY2-MWysHwP
 accountmadeforants: @Lysander_salamander And different animation, and different art-style, and different dialog boxes, it's very fun break from the usual
Lysander_salamander: 
 accountmadeforants: It looks like the frame-rate of the animation is also different, real Flash game energy
 RandomTrivia: 
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
 RandomTrivia: This really is the most realistic RPG party ever written into a game
SaxPython: !card commune with nature
  LRRbot: Commune with Nature [G] | Sorcery | Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
Lysander_salamander: I kind of want to be submerged in dry sand
Lysander_salamander: warm sand
Lysander_salamander: like, not abrasive sand
Lysander_salamander: more like  dust perhaps
OmnipotentTrevor: I think this decision is also in flavor of Fang not being happy with Trish right now.
 brainiac4: How does one turn Ian's line into a quote? "Wet sand can get fucker."
 brainiac4: s/fucker/fucked
Lysander_salamander: oh good, split the party
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
adept_nekomancer: Oh yeah, splitting the party is always a great idea.
 RandomTrivia: oh nooooooo
 NotCainNorAbel: split the party!

SaxPython: I was surprised by the Voice mistake.  The DM says spoon
 accountmadeforants: I like that the game doesn't actually pronounce it for us 
 RandomTrivia: Oh dear
 RandomTrivia: "what could go wrong?" A classic RPG question that has never had any bad consequences

 brainiac4: That does not look like hail
SaxPython:   
Boopity: Uhhhhhh
SaxPython: 
 accountmadeforants: Like, twelve seconds
OmnipotentTrevor: He's writing the meteor into his campaign? That's a little too real, seems like bad etiquette to me.
 RandomTrivia: Something about a bird sharpening its beak on a diamond mountain?
 brainiac4: I think an eternity is billions at least
SaxPython: So is this a Jean Gray / Dark Phoenix thing...
DaxStrife: TPK! TPK!
 RandomTrivia: Oh no
 accountmadeforants: 
SaxPython: Armor is Daddy?
 accountmadeforants: Next week, on Dice Friends
 RandomTrivia: GAME GOOD
Boopity: @OmnipotentTrevor Yeaah, if this was IRL, that would not be cool
Boopity: Oh the vibes are dead
 accountmadeforants: 20 to 30 percent margin on what, scientists?
 accountmadeforants: Also, why does your margin have a margin of error?
SaxPython: This song slaps.  I'm a little surprised this isn't a rhythm segment
Boopity: Oh Naser is a theater kid too
Boopity: Oh right, we have wings
 accountmadeforants: Oh hell yeah, I was waiting for the wings
SaxPython: you just learned the Jecht Shot
 RandomTrivia: Huh, I also thought that
 accountmadeforants: Yeah, we've been told before, but I keep forgetting also. He does have a car, after all.
 RandomTrivia: This is just them planning it out in their head
 RandomTrivia: I get the feeling it might become a song later
 accountmadeforants: Yeesh
 RandomTrivia: Oooooh, that was coarse
 accountmadeforants: Is that actually a thing or just something we all learned and assumed was true, like dinosaur thigh-brains?
 accountmadeforants: Okay, the two worms thing is not true for earthworms, but it can be true for some flatworms.

 accountmadeforants: I'll hit up the VOD for shirt deets
 Molladia: I've just arrived, but this seems more like a "Now Kiss" than "Rythym Cafe" is that in there somewhere?
  Juliamon: Molladia There are music sections
SaxPython: Bro!
 loufghyslaufey:    
 RandomTrivia: Shirt looks like this https://i.imgur.com/C8CllH3.png
 accountmadeforants: The shirt says... "Looped Tour A'K"? Uhhh https://i.imgur.com/P7D7rBv.png
Boopity: In fact, for a game that isn't 100% rhythm game, I'd say the rhythm sections would be quite compelling even as a standalone game
SaxPython: @accountmadeforants It's kinda got Vans Warped Tour styling
 accountmadeforants: @Boopity I agree, seems like solid mechanics
SaxPython:   
 RandomTrivia: Is that a Heather Guarantee?
 accountmadeforants: I think the last time we had a full rhythm game with a banger story (if not a banger story in the same way) was Old School Musical. Seems schools are how you get cool stories and theming, if nothing else.
 Mollylele: "blow everyone's minds" heh i get it
Lysander_salamander: nice
 Molladia: So is it a Romance thing between Trish and Fang? Or just a "I'm losing my best friend" thing?
 RandomTrivia: @Molladia Yes
Lysander_salamander: 
Lysander_salamander: hahahahahaha
 accountmadeforants: "You can't put me in a retirement home! I'm banned for life for being too cool!" -Fang, age 90
Boopity: I haven't really gotten any sense of romance from Trish and Fang
Lysander_salamander: I missed a bit.  Was there a reveal on who's the mystery texter yet?
 RandomTrivia: Nope
 RandomTrivia: They're gonna show at the Battle apparently
KeytarCat: @Lysander_salamander All of the information has been provided us 
Lysander_salamander: nice
  Juliamon: There have been significant hints.
  Sarah_Serinde: It was basically a reveal to us, but not to Fang
Lysander_salamander: dang Rosa is so cute
Lysander_salamander: they're all cute
 RandomTrivia: This whole game is unreasonably cute
Boopity: ^
Boopity: Unfortunately there is drama at Worm Drama
 RandomTrivia: Here comes Death! 
Lysander_salamander: nice
 BusTed: And we keep this card forever, right?
Lysander_salamander: Tower!
Lysander_salamander: oh ok
 RandomTrivia: Cool

 RandomTrivia: Uhhhhh, or another kind of star... the falling kind...

Boopity: 
 RandomTrivia: TRISH YES
Lysander_salamander: exponential win
SaxPython:   
Boopity: Time to double win
 accountmadeforants: A billion listens? That's like... 50 dollars!
Lysander_salamander: that would be awesome
 RandomTrivia: Wow there are so many unfortunate word choices that are top-notch writing
 NotCainNorAbel: very metal
 accountmadeforants: Meteor crashes, lights go out, we switch to acoustic as the fires start to light the stage
 RandomTrivia: I really hope they get that moment
 RealGamerCow: The art in this game is very good
 loufghyslaufey: Do it. But harsher!
Lysander_salamander: yay acoustic!
 loufghyslaufey: Hm
SaxPython: Battle of the Band?
  Juliamon: There was at least a third
 loufghyslaufey: Like in bandwidth,  ?
  Juliamon: Sarah and the.. somethings?
Lysander_salamander: 
Lysander_salamander: yeah!
 RandomTrivia: Quick, sneak onstage under cover of darkness and pretend it was planned when the power comes back on!
 BusTed: The size of a chihuahua's head?
 accountmadeforants: Hell yeah
Lysander_salamander: good stuff
SaxPython: stocks down on Worm Drama. Stocks up on Fang's singer/songwriter career
 RandomTrivia: Classic use of acoustic distortion, very nice 
 accountmadeforants: I do wonder how well her voice is actually carrying here
  Juliamon: their
 accountmadeforants: *their, sorry
 RandomTrivia: Not well in this register, that's for sure
  Juliamon: It's a small venue, it might be okay
 RandomTrivia: True
 BusTed: a dramatically perfect amount, obv
SaxPython: clap clap clpa
 accountmadeforants: The pros of being they/them, being able to perform harmonics with yourself
CaptainTalon447: So is this game any good?
 loufghyslaufey: Weh?
Boopity: Harmonizing with themselves when it's supposed to be a live performance is one of my major pet peeves in music media to be honest 
Lysander_salamander: it's a little odd. This is sort of like the music I listened to as a teen.  Is that genre still hip with the youth?
  Juliamon: CaptainTalon447 This is the third stream of it, so...
 iris_of_ether: Angst is alwasys in
Lysander_salamander: aha
 loufghyslaufey: I mean, it's subjective, but- I'm or I may have... Underestimated it? Albeit passively?
CaptainTalon447: Like is this a dating sim or visual novel?
CaptainTalon447: Or both?
KeytarCat: Ian has said "Game Good!" at least once per stream
 accountmadeforants: Both, and a rhythm game
  Juliamon: More the latter
Lysander_salamander: reminds me a tiny bit of the Pixies?
 accountmadeforants: Well, mostly visual novel
 accountmadeforants: Not much dating so far
 Dog_of_Myth:  
 baltimore_667083: 
 accountmadeforants:    
  Sarah_Serinde: It's got a little romance in it but I wouldn't call it a dating sim
 accountmadeforants: sq147Vibe
  Juliamon: Animated VN primarily, music secondary, dating a very distant like, fifth
CaptainTalon447: Like I remember the reaction when this game first was announced as a sort of PS4 day 1 game
 accountmadeforants: 
CaptainTalon447: It was a bit strange
Lysander_salamander: nice
 Dog_of_Myth:
