 RandomTrivia: Hi friends! 
Invitare: who is "we", exactly?
 ArdCollider: I'm doing coffee math! it's terrible! 
 RandomTrivia: I wonder if this trackname is obfuscated to avoid FN spoilers...
kusinohki: meows
  Juliamon: it's from Tabletop Death Match
   LoadingReadyRun: The TTDM in the filename may give away things
 RandomTrivia: Oh, I didn't pick up on that
   LoadingReadyRun: But what does the DOUBLE MP3 mean?!
kusinohki: I assume TTDM2 stands for TableTop DeathMatch 2
 TehAmelie: i was gonna guess a modded Doom campaign
otakon17: oh good I'm lierally JUST IN TIME
kusinohki: (ignore my slow typing)
otakon17: my goddamn timing couldn't be more prefect
 accountmadeforants: OUR boy
 NotCainNorAbel: Hi, boy

nevermore913: Patreon eats money?
 accountmadeforants: House of Lie
otakon17: Secret of Everhood 2: Electric Boogaloo
 accountmadeforants: Are you usually a fan of IPAs or no?
otakon17: them damn foreign g'nomes
adept_nekomancer: No Oxford comma?  For shame.
kusinohki: secret of everhood ooze??
Invitare: invert the y axis to get a λ axis
otakon17: Does this take place in Metroc-ity?
Invitare: Lambda
Invitare: Half Life, Ian, Half Life
otakon17: Ian obviously
adept_nekomancer: The almighty Krancor?
kusinohki: was it a lambda class shuttle??
otakon17: thanks I hate it
 Jillexie: Jedi
 Jillexie: But special edition of empire added it.
Invitare: is this game by Toby Fox?
Invitare: are you playing Deltarune?
otakon17: no
otakon17: this is Everhood
Invitare: I swear this is how Deltarune starts
 iris_of_ether: I think Everhood 1 was clearly inspited by Undertale
NatNatNutmeg: more like evergood
otakon17: Ian don't lie
 accountmadeforants: I was really hyped for Everhood 2, liked the gameplay more than the original, the everything else a lot less. But that's all subjective.
kusinohki: given the rebels alphabet starfighters, it would have been funny if the empire used all greek letters...
 RockPusher: talking to everyone might accidentally start a substory 
 accountmadeforants: Also, please loop your conversations so I know to stop talking thank you 
Invitare: Tie Fighters would be Eta Wings
 BrowneePointz: Kuat Drive Yards is the main imperial shipyard iirc
otakon17: PERFECT
 BrowneePointz: but then they retconned Corellia a LOT
 iris_of_ether: Bang/Whimper
otakon17: Clearly Comedy
adept_nekomancer: Too real, game, too real.
 ArdCollider: the Torment Nexus
 Dog_of_Myth: Game please
kusinohki: any excuse for star wars geekery...
otakon17: Satire is dead
Invitare: the world doesn't end. Triumph over entropy
otakon17: oh god
 Dog_of_Myth: Ooof
 accountmadeforants: Oh right
otakon17: LOL
 iris_of_ether: 
adept_nekomancer: They warned you about the pain
 ArdCollider: "buddy, I'm a dick puppet for a side gig, hit me"
 CaptainCoriale: ohhhh no
 accountmadeforants: This was brutal
  Juliamon: You were warned
otakon17: HE WAS NOT PREPARED
Invitare: Ian is a master of making Chat uncomfortable. The game is not on his level
 protojman: you selected: near-death
 vinewood_og: "elder streamers"
 miniMacGuru: Do we need to have another check-in for elderly streamers again?
  Juliamon: yes
kusinohki: *turns to dust for the 2nd time this week*
otakon17: SLiding scale of jobfulness
adept_nekomancer: Any childhood you can walk away from...
otakon17: oh lord
otakon17: the realistic choice
 accountmadeforants: Lots of mistakes are also very easily predictable. Like if I told a baby to watch the stove.
otakon17: the rhythm in this game is so far non-existent
Invitare: I'm told there are a lot of higher beings in Canada
 Dog_of_Myth: hahhah
adept_nekomancer: lol
Despoiler98:   
 RandomTrivia: 
 accountmadeforants: 
otakon17: XD
 ArdCollider: it knows who it's got
otakon17: WHAT
Invitare: beige
 RandomTrivia: Aw, darn, I was hoping for charmander...
 RatherLargeToad: Mauve!
otakon17: blue is good
otakon17: Taupe
Despoiler98: your blue? da ba dee da ba die?
 RandomTrivia: Uh
otakon17: OH GOD WHAT IF HAD BEEN BEIGE
adept_nekomancer: Subocean?
kusinohki: was that just an excuse to do a silly internet quiz??
 protojman: Enor?
 ArdCollider: we're basically just Enor now, yeah
kusinohki: are we going to find out what marvel character we are next??
 accountmadeforants: !holes
  LRRbot: Did someone say Holes??
Despoiler98: whatre we James?
otakon17: hard on the knees
otakon17: oh shit it's God
otakon17: YOU PISSED OFF GOD ALREADY
 iris_of_ether: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/CautiousHilariousTortoisePrimeMe-T6GbJtdSSYUP8Qsj
adept_nekomancer: "Do you know what I do with thieves?  I make them do a tutorial!"
otakon17: MOVE
otakon17: you can MOVE IAN
  Juliamon: ease up on the caps please
 iris_of_ether: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/CrunchyEnjoyableMagpieArgieB8-J0G1j5L1bXubCDUt
kusinohki: do the different colors/symbols mean anything??
otakon17: I mean what the HELL are you supposed to do there?
 Dog_of_Myth: birb
otakon17: SUDDENLY GRACKLE'D
kusinohki: funny, it didn't look like money
otakon17: so getting hit removes your charge
 accountmadeforants:  Bit infringement!
KeytarCat: The timing is just funky, you can get the low beams too
otakon17: this controller DOES NOT seem to be working for you man
 accountmadeforants: Yeah, rhythm games do tend to want a controller that works
otakon17: so you have to collect the same color to charge up
  Juliamon: different colours charge different spells
otakon17: Defensively
Ritaspirithntr subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 63 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Ritaspirithntr! (Today's storm count: 3)
otakon17: no that clearly is the same spell
otakon17: but collecting different colors resets the charge
 accountmadeforants: Prepare for PS5 audio theft
 accountmadeforants: Audio theft averted
kusinohki: "you don't charge agressively enough!"
otakon17: the grackle is grinning
otakon17: so it's basically a collect 3 game but withtiming
otakon17: where are the tells that the majority of the notes are going to change color though?
otakon17: he wants crackers
kusinohki: music bridge??
otakon17: Armpit gems
otakon17: NYEH!
otakon17: I hope the game is a little easier from here on  out because THAT looked rough
otakon17: how do you guys not have ANY good controllers?
 accountmadeforants: @otakon17 Ian also set it to a higher difficulty I think
otakon17: he set it to *medium*
jubale1: is this dodgeball?
otakon17: kinda?
otakon17: oh you CAN catch the vertical ones
kusinohki: I doubt controllers were designed to withstand 8hrs a day/ 7 days a week use and abuse *shrug*
 accountmadeforants: @otakon17 Controllers are designed to barely survive occasional use they use them a for a job.
jubale1: can’t tell what he’s trying to hit or what miss
otakon17: Ian you might want to turn down the difficulty
KeytarCat: Note color is related to the music.  This song was working on two chords, and each was a different color
otakon17: wizard hat just IGNORED
otakon17: thehel
 accountmadeforants: I like that one of the hair styles is just a hat
kusinohki: I would be leery of going to "scam district"
 accountmadeforants: The best hair style.
otakon17: is that a Tonberry tripping balls?
otakon17: Schmucks
 accountmadeforants: 
adept_nekomancer: The potential for arbitrage is through the roof.
 accountmadeforants: The best trade quest
otakon17: this is too easy <_<
 vinewood_og: Is this how Voodoo economics works?
otakon17: I don't think that's a good idea
 accountmadeforants: Would you prefer to be paid in experience or in exposure?
otakon17: oh god rainbow text XD
 hd_dabnado: homunculingus if you would

 goombalax: he did state his intention
otakon17: okay this is very risk vs. reward
otakon17: I think you can absorb the purple ones
otakon17: yeah if you swap it resets
 accountmadeforants: And yeah, I can confirm you can obsorb the purp
 accountmadeforants: There is a different type of note you can't absorb, and this fight has them (the black)
otakon17: yeah the ones with just a "wave" seem to have no charage
otakon17: BIG FISH
janky_as_heck subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 47 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, janky_as_heck! (Today's storm count: 5)
otakon17: the blast destroys incoming notes too
otakon17: okay I think it would help if you knew how much damage yoru attack charges did off the bat without accounting for the "weakness" bonus
otakon17: THERE'S MORE THAN ONE
otakon17: ONE SPRING
 accountmadeforants: 
 RandomTrivia: I would bet a considerable amount that the XP quantity is deliberate 
otakon17: the game just said "screw you, fight something"
otakon17: just fight Oingo Boingo
otakon17: you know how they work(mostly)
otakon17: Ceiling Shasta anyway?
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Will you call it the elixir of truth?
 spethycakes: But I play games because I don't *want* to face my demons!
 accountmadeforants: That could be you right now, just trigger a sprinkler
 wedge_x: my favorite movie
otakon17: suddenly Oogie Boogie?!
otakon17: GNOMES!?
otakon17: they're FOREIGN
 accountmadeforants: Gnomes are indeed back
 Dog_of_Myth: Suddenly, Gnomes
otakon17: THE FUNHOUSE IS HERE
 ArdCollider: the Tetris
 accountmadeforants: (Foreign Gnomes is the name of the dev studio)
 wedge_x: the tetris, never *your* tetris
cardbross: either these graphics are nuts or I am very deeply unwell
  Juliamon: this game is very... visual
adept_nekomancer: Game why?
otakon17: I think I just had a seizure
  Juliamon: A big cheese, imo
otakon17: that is a wheel of cheese
 ArdCollider: lol Key 23. comics deep cut! https://anarchyforthemasses.fandom.com/wiki/Key_23
 ArdCollider: from Grant Morrison's The Invisibles.
 accountmadeforants: One of the dev posts for the first game was how they had an epilepsy study done since they wanted to make a safe mode, and were surprised to find that it was basically fine. (They still made a safe mode with a lot of the visual noise turned down, just to be sure.)
 Dog_of_Myth: Truth
 wedge_x: oh god no, humans are terrible
 gualdhar: sorry, all I've got is the slightly-less-reptilian-party
otakon17: SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEGA
otakon17: suddenly game in game
otakon17: inb4 the Homunculi are horrible backseaters
 ArdCollider: my actual neurological upfuck trigger is "game runs faster than monitor refresh rate." 
 RatherLargeToad: 
 RatherLargeToad: big frog
otakon17: just keep blasting him Ian, I don't think yo uhave higher attack levels in this game
  Juliamon: otakon17 speaking of backseating, you're doing it a lil bit
 RatherLargeToad: c u b e
 iris_of_ether: 
 Dog_of_Myth: Ok game
  Juliamon: sure
adept_nekomancer: At least "Exp" doesn't stand for "exposure"
  Juliamon: ok
 RandomTrivia: wat
  Juliamon: !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!)
 Dog_of_Myth: Suddenly, Carl Jung
 Dog_of_Myth: No one expects that
 gualdhar: well it could be worse, it could be Freud psychoanalyzing Nero
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: afternoon chat
 spethycakes: @Dog_of_Myth Nobody expects the Jungian exposition
 Dog_of_Myth: Well played
 accountmadeforants: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ConcernedSpeedySandwichPicoMause-A0KnB4LvKPF-s9eT
 Strebenherz: Good evening y'all.  How's everyone been?
 Dog_of_Myth: wut
 spethycakes: rah rah
 Strebenherz: I...  Why are we fighting Rasputin in dance
 RatherLargeToad: wonder if you don’t get the song because you said you were streaming
Chaucer345: Hi chat.
 accountmadeforants: @RatherLargeToad No, this is the same song I got. I don't think there are any songs in here not made specifically for this game
Chaucer345: So how do you decide if you need to give up your home, family and friends to seek a better life in a place where you aren't hated?
Singenmeister subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 36 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Singenmeister! (Today's storm count: 6)
 accountmadeforants: 
 spethycakes: It's always nice to receive validation from games
 Strebenherz: @chaucer345 I'm not sure I have the answer but whatever you decide, you deserve to be safe and happy
Chaucer345: I really wish more people agreed with you.
Chaucer345: Like, its such a simple statement, but so deeply rejected by so many people.
Chaucer345: So many can easily define others as bad and decide they deserve nothing.
 SquareDotCube: you have the other key...
Chaucer345: Even when it's obvious we all deserve decency and kindness, and taking that away from someone should always be a last resort.
 RatherLargeToad: and wubs
 RatherLargeToad: lots of wubs
Chaucer345: On a vastly lighter note, is this the kind of game where we get to smooch the cute Raven boy?
 accountmadeforants: Ah, but that's where Single-Page Applications come in. Look forward to *this* new Javascript framework completely ruining all conventions and destroying your back button
Chaucer345: It probably isn't. Such things are rare.
 accountmadeforants: @Chaucer345 It's a game that doesn't really let you predict what's going to come next. We ran into Carl Jung earlier
Chaucer345: Carl Jung makes me sad as an Autistic person. Like, does everyone else just have access to the collective unconscious and I don't and that's why it's so hard for me to connect with people even when I really care about them?
  Juliamon: And now we're being bullied by a pepper
kusinohki: f***monculi sounds like it comes from a FMA porn parody...
Chaucer345: On a lighter note, I admit, fuck-munculi really aren't mu type on average.
 RatherLargeToad: Attack of the jogging tomatoes!
Earthenone: the melonlord?
 CaptainCoriale: Now that's just rude.
Chaucer345: I mean, is F*ck-monculi just a day job and you can hang out with them when they're not busy being all horny?
Chaucer345: Or is it more of a calling?
 accountmadeforants: It seemed more of a calling, the homunculi don't really know what they're doing but they're way into it, it seems
Chaucer345: I suppose I shouldn't disparage their art.
 Strebenherz: Rat magic ok
Chaucer345: Wait, why is the rat magic the weirdest thing compared to everything else?
 Strebenherz: !findquote hole
  LRRbot: Quote #1674: "Come back for you, Mystery Hole." —Cori [2016-01-26]
 QuixoticScrivener: It's my hole, it belongs to me!
Chaucer345: Disputes over the ownership of holes have lead to much suffering in the world.
Chaucer345: So, there are multiple savory fruits. I guess rhubarb, sugar beets and sugar cane are all sweet vegetables.
Chaucer345: Are there any other sweet veggies I'm not thinking of?
  Juliamon: Because vegetable is a culinary term, not a scientific one
Chaucer345: I suppose that's fair.
Chaucer345: You're scientifically a fruit and culinarily a vegetable?
Chaucer345: You can't let yourself be defined by the fruit vegetable binary.
Chaucer345: It is a false dichotomy used to exploit you for your deliciousness.
Chaucer345: How many catboys does it take to overthrow a monarchy?
 darkcyril: @Chaucer345 At least two so far.
 RatherLargeToad: Squaher lives up to its name
Earthenone: how many catboys does it take to overthrow a monarchy? Nyan.
  Juliamon: I thought this was a coup, not a heist
 RatherLargeToad: No, Power Stone was Capcom
Chaucer345: What is the tech level of this universe.
Chaucer345: ?
DigitalSeahorse: 
Chaucer345: Are they French or Russian?
DigitalSeahorse: a french fried russian?
 SquareDotCube: not gonna talk to the mess?
Chaucer345: Honestly Ian sounds a bit Romanian at the moment (no shade, accents are hard).
Chaucer345: Tangentially related, has anyone in chat been to Romania before?
Chaucer345: I was considering trying to hang out there because I have a claim to citizenship by descent.
 Strebenherz: Can't say I have no, best wishes
DigitalSeahorse:   
 Strebenherz: Yes
 RatherLargeToad: that or Gremlins
 Strebenherz: It totally is
Chaucer345: I do like that R.L. Stein describes his job as "scaring children for a living."
 SquareDotCube: Is it just me or did the game get a bit quiet?
 Strebenherz: Oof close.  And  @chaucer345
 Dog_of_Myth:
