kusinohki: fiction is less weird and I can handle that
 Redbassist: The late Stephen Colbert

 accountmadeforants: XInput: It's what we're stuck with!
Sky_Kast: Es bien
KeytarCat: 16x3
kusinohki: wasn't there a game working on "auto difficulty" that would adjust things on the fly based on player performance??
 Singenmeister: Wait... was this made by the same dev that made Florence?
KeytarCat: @kusinohki A lot, including the OG resident evil, I think?
 RockPusher: Could just be carrying around a tripod
 GDwarble: Food brush
 accountmadeforants: So, it could be rice on that spoon, but it could also be one of those wobbly undersea naked slugs
kusinohki: doesn't everyone have a Tomoya??  (sorry, just started sakura clear)
 GDwarble: Ah, she's having a rendezvous with Rama
 RockPusher: kusinohki we all should be so lucky
kusinohki: "excited and scared"
RecordWN: 
 LilyOfTheVeil666:   
 TheDevil_Risen:   
kusinohki: I've heard the title samurai pizza cats, but don't think I've ever seen any part of an episode
 goombalax: at the first anime con I attended there was an all-night samurai pizza cats watch that i slept in
 RockPusher: I should watch my box-set to prep for the game
Bionull: Speaking of ancient media, this art reminds me of Megatokyo
 goombalax: Do Drinks, thats what they said
 LilyOfTheVeil666: 
 LilyOfTheVeil666:   
 RealGamerCow: Ian, have you seen "Travel On, Pigeon!" yet? Rhythm game based around a pigeon.
 goombalax: getting wasted on antioxidants
 RockPusher: thicc alcohol
  Juliamon: that looked like a *really* bloody mary
 RealGamerCow: Comes out in March
  Sarah_Serinde: !rhythm
  LRRbot: Submit suggestions for Rhythm Cafe here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjf1Ku8MmPLS44JgwxUdsd8JzXtcTM9IPgcQRK8Zc8A47Enw/viewform
 goombalax: almost zero now, its been ruined
 RealGamerCow: Last I checked it was down to 0.18% or something like that
 A_Dub888: Just got here, what's this about a deep impact?
 goombalax: good reference
Bionull: Alright, but can we try to take our band pro and learn a lot about ourselves before it hits?
kusinohki: last I heard it went from like 3% to 8%??  that article might have been a week old though
  Juliamon: I heard it went up and then back down even lower
 RealGamerCow: This game is Indonesian, correct?
kusinohki: Who could have predicted this?
 LilyOfTheVeil666: Yes @realgamercow
 SaxPython: Reminder that I still haven't found a replacement for :bibleThump
 SaxPython: 
  Juliamon: I mean, yeah
 A_Dub888: Maybe they're on Zeta...
 seepete: Uh oh, he's Adit again
 LilyOfTheVeil666: Ghost GF 
 goombalax: college age, members of the workforce
FlameFighterSRG: Straight to Emo Phase?
 A_Dub888: I mean... no one's TRIED to touch the sun....

 DigitalSeahorse: 
 DigitalSeahorse: !next
  LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Rhythm Cafe (Heather and Ian continue their never-ending quest to play ALL THE RHYTHM GAMES! Game: Afterlove EP) at Sun 04:00 PM PST (44m ago).
 RatherLargeToad: The Little Rascals are still getting work?  Good for them
DaxStrife: Please don't start referring to "Siri" as "Ghost Girlfriend."
kusinohki: hey! listen!
 RatherLargeToad: Does he sell donuts?
 DigitalSeahorse: Distro
 A_Dub888: I thought Brock was working on his medical degree?
LathosTiran: Doc Brock's Rocks
 RockPusher: To be a competent ghost girlfriend, Siri must first die…
 Cptasparagus: uuuuuh
 Cptasparagus: Kak means poop in dutch I think? so their name is poop mouse iirc?
 LilyOfTheVeil666: The game is Indonesian, so I'm sure "Kak" means something different in their language
 A_Dub888: Rythym Cafe: Just Give Up
 ButButTheJesus: Sigmund Fued
 RockPusher: mint choc yes, mint coffee, eh‽
 SaxPython: We gotta get this band hooked up with a Pterodactyl vocalist
 RockPusher:  
 Dog_of_Myth: Ian...
 GDwarble: Not sure that would work
 ButButTheJesus: no thanks
 Cptasparagus: menthol beef
Bionull: Funnier to just end the thought there "I bet you could feed mint to cows." Period.
 A_Dub888: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/FaithfulAlluringOrangeCoolStoryBob-8cy5aRykCCzU71A5
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 LilyOfTheVeil666: New love interest, who dis?
 RockPusher: mint jerky
Bionull: I did have what was described as a "rice egg" the other day. The yolk was all white.
 Cptasparagus: "im a street pooper"
Bionull: So this is just less traumatic AnoHana?
 RockPusher: Bionull 
KeytarCat: @Bionull less?  but looks like it, yeah
 Stormgod519: im back!!!
 RockPusher: Stormgod519 from outer space?
 SaxPython: Physical Therapist said I have the ankles of an 18 month old
 Stormgod519: @RockPusher well i did just walk finding ya here with that sad look upon your face...
 ButButTheJesus: @Stormgod519 boy, are your arms tired? 
 LilyOfTheVeil666: Bro...
 Stormgod519: lol
 RockPusher: Stormgod519 I should'a changed that stupid lock
 A_Dub888: uhhhhh
 Stormgod519: @RockPusher too late to make me leave my key
 Stormgod519: lol
KeytarCat: Was it a coincidence that someone went to the cafe their friend was at and that had a cool new drink on her break?  probably not
Bionull: Pretty sure a ghost telling you not to get help is classic schizophrenia.
 A_Dub888: Hard ass, got it
 Stormgod519: lol... that's normal...
KeytarCat: Oh no, this game is making me *uncomfortable*
 A_Dub888: are we being gaslit?
kusinohki: possibly ghost-lit??
Bionull: I'm all in if this is no fantasy mental illness aggravated by stress.
 Stormgod519: damn
KeytarCat: I'll be fine*
 SaxPython: 
 A_Dub888: @KeytarCat "Why did you say asterisk?"
KeytarCat: "I was mourning YOU, damnit!"
 RockPusher: Brain voices are notoriously fickle
 SaxPython: Ready to get back ... on the saddle
 TheDevil_Risen: well my 14 boxes of dragon shields just got here 
Bionull: Cool mint latte
KeytarCat: Mint upsets my stomach
  Juliamon: oh my god Twitch, please fucking *stop* this
 TheDevil_Risen: @Juliamon what happened?
Bionull: Stop lrr?
  Juliamon: it's forcing ads on me
 A_Dub888: @TheDevil_Risen How much trouble is this dragon giving you that you need 14 shields? 
 NotCainNorAbel: Does Twitch know you are logged in?
 SaxPython: @a_dub888  it's a very niche build that speed runners use
 TheDevil_Risen: @A_Dub888 well it's a mystery, the 2nd one 
  Juliamon: yes
 TheDevil_Risen: and had to prep for FF
 TheDevil_Risen: @Juliamon Rood
 TheDevil_Risen:  
 TheDevil_Risen: @A_Dub888 FF order was off the charts, all the decks, 2 of the collector decks, 2 collector booster boxes, 2 bundles and the starter kit 
 TheDevil_Risen: so need sleeves for all of that, and the mystie boostie 2 boxes I'm drafting with my playgroup soon
 TheDevil_Risen: (that I got myself)
KeytarCat: It's like Twitch is making decisions that are bad for consumers bc they can get away with it 🤔
 A_Dub888: @KeytarCat #capitalism
 Earthenone: well its good you got 14 boxes in honnor of finalfantasy 14, the awardwinning mmorpg
 TheDevil_Risen: @Earthenone 
KeytarCat: Twitch will stutter for me after a break until I refresh, then often as not feed me preroll ads
 Dog_of_Myth: Using an ad blocker Juliamon?
  Juliamon: Literally nothing about my setup has changed in over a year
  Juliamon: I've always used an ad blocker
 Dog_of_Myth: that is weird
 RealGamerCow: LRNPR
 RockPusher: A cafe, with rhythm
 A_Dub888: @Earthenone the one with the free trial up to level 60?
 SaxPython: Ian demands local specs and standards
  Juliamon: Buy get one two
 RockPusher: !badadvice
  LRRbot: DO NOT push those buttons.
 Jobot180: Oh good, my social anxiety inner monologue is now in game form!
 goombalax: calling the unrequited crush
 SaxPython: I think the dialog and signage in the game has little localization rubs. I'm not sure how to hear this tone.
 A_Dub888: Is this going to be like when Bob Dylan debuted electric music at a folk festival?

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, ErisOfSpace! (Today's storm count: 7)
 Cptasparagus: this is not a white
 ErisOfSpace: aww this game looks cute
 A_Dub888: @ErisOfSpace you're cute
  Juliamon: visually it's very cute, even though (with all respect to the writer, RIP) I don't love the writing
 Jobot180: All three of our fans
  Juliamon: your fans have moved on
 ErisOfSpace: oh wait no this is interpersonal angst I will not handle this well
  Juliamon: THEY LITERALLY SAID THAT
 Cptasparagus: im pretty sure fans just want more friday nights
  Juliamon: why is our ghost girlfriend so... daft
 RealGamerCow: Isn't it good that they were practicing without you?
 ErisOfSpace: No one said that!?
 A_Dub888: @Juliamon metaphor?
 goombalax: brb leaving for a year
adept_nekomancer: "Does anybody here know how to uninstall a ghost?"
  Juliamon: Did you TELL THEM you were taking time away
 RealGamerCow: @Juliamon I am still trying to figure out if real girlfriend was like this, or if ghost girlfriend is just his negative self talk
 RockPusher: Gimme 5min while I openly have an uncomfortable conversation with the voice in my head
 goombalax: I feel like this is just his negative psyche
 LilyOfTheVeil666: ^
  Juliamon: Oh it's 100% just his way of processing the grief
 ErisOfSpace: this negative self-talk is making mine seem much more managable by comparison goddang
  Juliamon: but that doesn't make it any less irritating
 RealGamerCow: And that's the only voice he's had for a year
 TheMerricat: chat, I came in late, is our inner voice established as a litteral ghost or just a voice in our head we are treating like a ghost?
 LilyOfTheVeil666: Yes
  Juliamon: TheMerricat Our girlfriend died and is now in our head
 ErisOfSpace: also this seems like a fine concession to make? like, you were gone, we tried something a little different and liked it. don't treat your bandmates like idiots
 goombalax: the perspective on her bass makes it look really funny
  Juliamon: At no point did our character really question the ghost suddenly in his head
 RealGamerCow: This guy has big "This is *MY* band and you're just in it" energy
 RockPusher: A ghost ate us?
 RealGamerCow: Can't have it both ways dude.
 ErisOfSpace: wait, do the bandmates not know about the dead girlfriend?
 Cptasparagus: @Juliamon have we checked for airpods connected to a phone that we don't know about
 LilyOfTheVeil666: They know she's dead, but they can't hear her
  Juliamon: She's right and she should say it louder.
 LilyOfTheVeil666: ^
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone
SeismicLawns: no that's pretty fair ngl
 A_Dub888 screams into the void
Lysander_salamander: neat
Lysander_salamander: dang it
 ErisOfSpace: "yes its me the even perspective. the person you've lost thats in your head, echoing your worst thoughts!"
Lysander_salamander: wow
  Juliamon: We are the worst bandmate
 TheDevil_Risen: hahaha
  Juliamon: Can we play as Adit instead
Bionull: At this point I don't know if it'd be more fun for her to really be a ghost but just not a great ex-person
 ErisOfSpace: new theory, the ghost is real, his girlfriend was just an ahole
Bionull: Jinx
Lysander_salamander: wow
 ErisOfSpace: jinx lol
Lysander_salamander: woooow
 Cptasparagus: "oh great we are both terrible in this context!"
 RockPusher: Get this person a therapist or a priest!
adept_nekomancer: Or a therapriest
 RatherLargeToad: first reasonable thing she’s said
  Juliamon: I genuinely want to play a game from the perspective of someone who isn't the protagonist now
rabbitgta: I was waiting for your perfect for therapy
 wifi12345678910: !next
  LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Play it Forward (Alex heads into The Zone on Play it Forward. Game: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl) at Mon 10:00 AM PST (16:26 from now).
Lysander_salamander: oh, this was made by the devs who made Coffee Talk?  Neat.
 RealGamerCow: Tasya's ultimatum is fair. Rama can't expect everyone to put their lives on hold for him
 ErisOfSpace: real talk chat, I got a new therapist this year and its been a lot of help with *gestures widely*. talking with someone who's an expert in talking things through can be really good
  Juliamon: She was justifiably snippy
 TehAmelie: are we winning at music?
 RealGamerCow: At the very least understandably snippy
  Juliamon: we are losing at having a healthy mental state
  Juliamon: ghosts really weigh you down
 A_Dub888: He hears voices in his head, they talk to him, the DON'T understand
  Juliamon: must be nice getting an appointment that quickly
 Cptasparagus: is that underwear or a mask on the clothes line?
 ErisOfSpace: mask. that'd be some uncomfy underwear
 Cptasparagus: @ErisOfSpace its 2017  masks hadnt been invented yet!
rabbitgta: Therapy on the double
Bionull: Was there stagnant water in that sink?
 A_Dub888: @ErisOfSpace Well he clearly hasn't gotten over his girlfriend's death soooooo.....
 TheDevil_Risen: loll
 SymphonySolstice: TurboTax software box book
 SymphonySolstice: no one will ever pick it up
 ErisOfSpace: @A_Dub888 I promise you no underwear looks like that
 TheMerricat: So researching this, because I can't stand not knowing things... I found this sad tidbit, the creator of the game passed away in 22. 
  Juliamon: TheMerricat yeah, we discussed that at the top
KeytarCat: You do have a mapp
Bionull: I did have google maps close cause the phone was too hot once
Lysander_salamander: yay
 ButButTheJesus: squeepoo!
 ButButTheJesus: (that door sound effect)
 RealGamerCow: was that ghost girlfriend in the waiting room?
Bionull: Imagine you walk in and they go "I'm your new therapist", big fake wink
  Juliamon: THAT'S HER JOB
 RealGamerCow: is ghostie gonna get jealous of her as well?
  Juliamon: please Cinta
 ErisOfSpace: I love burying the lead to my therapist
 LilyOfTheVeil666: TALK TO HER
  Juliamon: fuck *off* Rama
  Juliamon: friends are friends
 LilyOfTheVeil666: THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID
 A_Dub888: "That's mean!" THAT'S CORRECT GHOST GIRLFRIEND
 ErisOfSpace: I have a ghost girl in me
Bionull: Hey, let's read back what you said. "No need for apologies"
  Juliamon: you can definitely un-know things
 ErisOfSpace: fun fact! forgetting is an active process in the brain
 Cptasparagus: is that what amazon prime is? therapy?
Bionull: GTO except it's Great Therapist Onizuka
DaxStrife: Retail therapy.
 ButButTheJesus: sbubby
KeytarCat: @ErisOfSpace That combines with my experience in distressing ways!
 ErisOfSpace: my favorite fun facts are always distressing 
rabbitgta: Cough and fall over?, very anime of them
 RatherLargeToad: It’s like Wheel of Fortune.   Vowels cost extra
rabbitgta: Kids these days text so weird
 ErisOfSpace: oh good a bar ten steps away from my therapist. this will be helpful
Bionull: Just thought of a way to make ghost girlfriend worse, using text speak
 Cptasparagus: you dont have to go home but please dont reanimate in my head
KeytarCat: That's what Rama said to the therapist
KeytarCat: so F off, Cinta
 ErisOfSpace: also this makes me learn more on it not being a ghost, cause if they were friends Cinta's being real two-faced about it rn
  Juliamon: Cinta's also admitted she's not real
 ErisOfSpace: ah well. didn't catch the start so
  Juliamon: she said it like... 5 minutes ago lol
 A_Dub888: @ErisOfSpace you should really replace that light bulb 
mostlydiabolical: Why does this sound like gonzo bothering snake on codek?
 RealGamerCow: wow that 2 hours went fast
 A_Dub888: How does Amuro feel about Haro being with someone else?
 RatherLargeToad: unless this is a bandsona
Bionull: Should we just merge Rhythm Cafe and Let's Kiss at this point? Let's Cafe? Rhythm Kiss?
Bionull: Or was it Now Kiss?
 RockPusher:   
 RockPusher:  
 A_Dub888: @bionull it's Now Kiss, so I'd go with Rhythm Kiss
 A_Dub888: What happened to Pool 1?
 RockPusher: Battle Billiards!
 RockPusher: Decalsausrus
 ErisOfSpace:   thanks for the stream!
KWardJenx: Thank you so much for the stream!
 A_Dub888: yet
 fuzzy_died: You say that
  Juliamon: There have been like twice as many scheduled episodes as there have been actual episodes
 RatherLargeToad: that sounds like a challenge
rabbitgta: Low chances of fire always
 RockPusher: *low* chance of fire
 A_Dub888: again, yet
 HorusFive: Well- not NO chances..... 
  Juliamon: it always manages to get pushed back
 RockPusher: can't guarrantee *no* fire
 RockPusher:   
 goombalax: Fire Extinguishers are a requirement for a reason
