RockPusher: That seems like a sub-par mechanic
AndrewHawnt: Ian you are remarkably handsome and a fine advert for bald men like us all over the world.
AndrewHawnt: Canadian is a bonus too tbh
SquareDotCube: yeah, might be time to seriously look into what it takes for an electric conversion
RockPusher: at least being a mini you don't have to worry about the key being a radio transmitter with a seed you need to keep alive
BusTed:
BusTed: weird
TherapyforNarwhals: Hardcore gaming indeed!
RockPusher:
Would this be the same controller from home that has trouble staying connected? 
accountmadeforants: I'm glad fightpads have digital triggers for that exact reason. Treating triggers as buttons should be illegal.
RockPusher: Never got full pull!!!
RockPusher: *go
RockPusher: !quote pull
LRRbot: Could not find any matching quotes.
BusTed: sweet katana
accountmadeforants: It's always comforting to know that you'll drop a sweet katana when you die.
SquareDotCube: now I'm curious as to if there's regulations towards analog to digital conversion
accountmadeforants: I love the LIVE view here
adept_nekomancer: I still wonder if winning earlier than "expected" yields a non-standard ending.
azninsect: please dont...what
azninsect: consent.
accountmadeforants: Finally, Stargate is back on TV
BusTed:
accountmadeforants: Not the blaggole!
calculated_uncertainties: Phantom thief?
accountmadeforants: There's a white mask at the centre of every black hole, that's why things get squished
HadesLeprechaun: oh nooooo this area
RockPusher: but what if door… means out?
HadesLeprechaun: oh, missed the NPC, lol
accountmadeforants: Smartwatches exist solely to remind you of their limitations.
Pteraspidomorphi: Hey Ian, have you been enjoying this more than the original everhood?
adept_nekomancer: For what it's worth, the code that appeared earlier this stream was "869822" (went back and checked the vod)
Pteraspidomorphi: Good to know!
RockPusher: Notepad or the abomination that Win11 calls "Notepad"?
putz12a: Just throw Notepad++ on it, problem solved
RockPusher:
BusTed:
RockPusher: :x
accountmadeforants:
@putz12a Eh, different tools. OG notepad was useful as a way to quickly jot things down and not save it. 
putz12a: LOL. I've forgotten how to use VI. Haven't touched it in like 25 years, when I was required to at the U of A.
RockPusher: and the ever helpful "I effed everything up, time to leave" :q!
putz12a: They taught it, then promptly turned around and said "Now that you know how to use this, here's Emacs and Pico."
accountmadeforants: I still use vi with Git CLI on a daily basis. God bless Shift->Z+Z
putz12a: It was what was on the systems in their labs.
RockPusher: had occasion to properly learn :856,9485d the other day
RockPusher: since I was trying to delete multithousand line blocks with accuracy
SquareDotCube: Linux has a quasi-toxic "if you want to do something, you're gonna have to learn it yourself" environment. It's almost montessori on steroids
accountmadeforants: (As an aside, ZZ is convenient because it only saves modified files, whereas :wq always saves and thereby touches the file.)
RockPusher:
everything is decended from ed 
adept_nekomancer: I do appreciate the utility of ":s///g"
accountmadeforants: Become as Gods!
accountmadeforants: We became lava tang!
adept_nekomancer: Yeah, this is about what I would expect to happen when you create skynet.
gualdhar: this is more Jonesian than raturing?
RockPusher: the soul leaves the body… does the body die?
accountmadeforants: Save lamp posts know what they did.
accountmadeforants: Behold, this section again
gualdhar: oh this track is great
adept_nekomancer: Welp, we're an MMO raid boss now.
RockPusher: I recommend cleaning your car windscreen — I did mine this morning and was embarrassed how much difference it made
Boopity: That's what you get for studying the blade
RockPusher: *cleansing
RockPusher:
well done flubbing the whole point of that joke there RockPusher
RockPusher: !adult
LRRbot: I need an adult!
Boopity: Ummmmmmm
accountmadeforants: Wait, somehow I only just noticed the finger guns. I didn't even see them during my playthrough.
Bruceski: I tend to do that every time I get gas, Dad taught me cleaning the windows as something to do while the gas pumps.
RockPusher: !findquote smut
LRRbot: Quote #3274: "This is like... archetypal smut." —Cameron [2016-08-20]
Bruceski: 12.5 gallons or so
RockPusher:
4chan being killed by a chicken jockey was not on the old bingo card
accountmadeforants:
Being able to lock the gas pump handle is against regulations in my country, so even if I did have a large tank I wouldn't be able to do anything else
BusTed:
SquareDotCube: nothing to stop you from using a string though...
RockPusher:
adept_nekomancer: Knowing this game, I was half expecting flushing the toilet to grant EXP.
Boopity: @adept_nekomancer You're thinking of Metaphor Refantazio- wait, that's Luck
accountmadeforants: Yeah, it was a safety thing, there was a brief period where I both owned a car and had locking gas pumps. I think there were some malfunctions that caused spills and fires?
RockPusher:
RockPusher:
accountmadeforants: Squirrel element!
spethycakes: Very Inscryption to absorb squirrels
Invitare: you were just innocently exploring and they attacked you
accountmadeforants: The base components of the self: Willpower, perception, wisdom, and squirrels.
Invitare: maybe don't stand on them though
Boopity: Oh they're still alive lovely
SquareDotCube: I dunno, the neon would probably keep me up
Boopity: We're fighting Kiryu??
accountmadeforants: I didn't really like Everhood 2 as a sequel on my playthrough, but these streams have made me appreciate its place as a vehicle for Cool Shit.
Boopity: UMMMM
accountmadeforants: *hacker voice* I'm in
RockPusher:
The Internet chip was a mistake
Boopity: GAME

Super Mega 
RatherLargeToad: No Lores allowed
accountmadeforants:
They called it the Smega Station last time, too 
accountmadeforants: But it sure is a name, nevertheless
accountmadeforants: 🎉 FROG joined the party!
Boopity: 🐸🐸🐸
Boopity: As someone who has only experienced this game through second-hand clips, it looks _very_ difficult
Juliamon: It strikes me as the sort of game that you have to get into the flow of to really get it
Boopity: Yeah, there is just so much going on in on the screen, so it's definitely very overwhelming as an observer
accountmadeforants: It's mostly easier than the first game, but yeah, as Juliamon guessed, you have to *waves hands* GET it for it to work properly.

accountmadeforants: As a rhythm game, it's quite forgiving (timing-wise), but moving across the screen and calling when to spend your bar is where the real challenge is. (And as gamers, we're notoriously hesitent to spend any kind of resource that Goes Up.)
Boopity:
That makes a lot of sense Why spend the resource when number can simply go up?
Boopity:
Hold on, I don't think you want death flags 
Boopity: I enjoy the bonk sound very much
Boopity:
accountmadeforants:
accountmadeforants: Tis I
Anubis169: hehehehe
SquareDotCube: Uh, hey doc, I think you came to the stream a little too early...
accountmadeforants: We're segfaulting this plane. With no survivors!

BenByTheWay: Have your notepads ready chat
Boopity: GAME

Boopity: This was secretly a Yakuza game this whole time
accountmadeforants: Listen, you don't understand, the people who make these games exist outside of time and space.
jessicaengle: Hello! Some good Konami vibin' today?
Boopity: All of the music in this game is oh so excellent
RockPusher:
look, Don Quixote needs supplies on his quest to eliminate the windmills and a well-stocked general store is where he's gonna get 'em
Boopity: If he's able to find them that is
Boopity: Alright then
silenceaux: Weirdly underwhelming for an ability named "Death Strike"
Boopity: Now it's One Piece???
Boopity: This game is truly full of unexpected things
Boopity: I love how spacious this level is
Boopity:
Didn't know today was TTSF
SquareDotCube: wait, that one keeps showing up
jessicaengle: F

RockPusher: !findquote phrasing
LRRbot: Quote #7431: "They are bone cold, which is a new phrase I am coining." —Ian [2021-01-03]
Boopity: Oh, interesting that the quotebot matched "phrasing" to "phrase". I thought it simply searched things word for word
SquareDotCube: they aren't areas, they're gates that wrap around.
SquareDotCube: it's two segments
jessicaengle: Tell us about this game please, for the Johnny Come Latelys?
Boopity:
@jessicaengle I am in the same boat and honestly I've just been enjoying the absolutely unhinged vibes
jessicaengle: @Boopity This describes me coming into basically every episode of AFK an hour and a half in.
Boopity:
True

KeytarCat: Rhythm combat game! Absorb the same symbol to charge attacks and release when you have a bunch of power. Absorbing a different symbol resets your power. Otherwise it's a fuckin weird rpg wandering game?
Juliamon: This game happens to you
jessicaengle: Also the alphabet was there.
HorusFive: So standard video game stuff
jessicaengle: X gonna give it to ya, I hear
iris_of_ether: I remember watching Ben play the first game on his home stream and yeah, it's a lot
KeytarCat: 🌈Video Games! 🌈
accountmadeforants: (Whose character design also looks like YouTube's videogamedunkey)
SquareDotCube: That one respawns.
SquareDotCube: I think we gotta trigger whatever it is to tell use to get rid of the glitches.
Boopity:
We still have no idea what those are but we have been rubbing up on all those
TheShameGranny: Shameful displays of sequence breaking
accountmadeforants: @iris_of_ether Everhood 2 doesn't go as hard on the story (to the point that myself and others were disappointed). But it's no less nutty.
silenceaux:
They just wanted you to be aware. 
jessicaengle: Eyyyyyyyyy
HorusFive: Oh good- we have a health bar. Now it can increment down
RockPusher: Eyyyy has been called
iris_of_ether: @accountmadeforants Legit. But it would be hard to do so honestly
jessicaengle:
Boopity: @accountmadeforants So based on your earlier comment, is this game more of a collection of random cool unrelated locations and bits rather than part of a larger journey?
Boopity: WHAT
HorusFive: We Quake now?
iris_of_ether: Or King's Field!
jessicaengle: It reminds me of Windows 3D maze screensaver
HorusFive: KoolAid Man that sh*t
accountmadeforants: @Boopity Basically, yes. It's not completely untethered from any kind of plot, but the plot is fairly intentionally secondary to the gameplay and random scenarios.
jessicaengle: He's gonna blow!
HorusFive: But as a counterpoint.... Why?
Boopity:
@accountmadeforants I see, thanks for the answer
jessicaengle:
ArdCollider: Ian's Tom Hardy impression is amazing.
accountmadeforants: Signs can't stop us
HadesLeprechaun: I found most of the plot to occur on the outside, in the place between realms with those few characters who can appear in any of them, and then the individual realms are self-contained and consistent within themselves, but set apart from the other worlds
accountmadeforants:
Thanks for the streams!
gualdhar: doing it at london drugs is hilariously Canadian, I'm here for it
aquinas_0: ignore the children
aquinas_0: hey

wifi12345678910:
KakuEpsilon: Oh heck, it's time for Alex
KakuEpsilon: I was just watching The Whatever Thing (Do Not Eat) which has surprisingly more Alex content in than I expected.
wifi12345678910: Like the Easter bunny, he shall appear and bring presents (nuggets of knowledge) and good cheer.
KakuEpsilon: @wifi12345678910 And Bullat. And Sausage.
LoadingReadyRun: @KakuEpsilon Does anyone know where I can watch Man Cooking 3? cant find anywhere
KakuEpsilon: What do you mean WAS? I thought the Zone was all Violence.
Juliamon: Was, is, and will continue to be
JKBalch: Nice to catch this early
Firewhiskers: Stalkerific
KakuEpsilon: Hello Alex, King of the Zone and Megaphone Meanwhiles.
wifi12345678910: I think the one with blue jeans and not shirt
DigitalSeahorse: it's raining and I can't tell if there's noise on mic
Anubis169: LoadingReadyRun: I got a copy saved locally
KakuEpsilon: @LoadingReadyRun It was on the DVD, set in Toronto...
DigitalSeahorse: uhoh
wifi12345678910: Blame James?
KakuEpsilon: Did Ian break it.
iris_of_ether:
Is it in the compilations that a fan put up on Archive.org, as a stop-gap after The Escapist vids stopped working?
Juliamon: Ian brought in his own
DigitalSeahorse: "mostly playable"
DigitalSeahorse: loud winds lol
DigitalSeahorse: behave pls
KakuEpsilon: I can't believe IAn is with Monolith and sabetauging your attempt to take them down Alex.
wifi12345678910: maybe a controller is using a special psychic attack
DigitalSeahorse: I've got turkey coldcuts
RockPusher: I wish I could get turkey
wifi12345678910: Turkey? Is that an Easter in Canada thing?
RockPusher: for some reason turkey just isn't sold here anymore
NotCainNorAbel: turkey ,interesting. Lamb and ham have always been my family meal for easter \
wifi12345678910: Ham or Lamb
ghyllnox: Ham
DigitalSeahorse: was only able to do virtual visit with family
KakuEpsilon: I am doing well, I guess, though I am paranoid about my package that I bought from the sale not following up on a sending out ntoice. Also, watched The Whatever Thing DVD and was suprised at how much Alex content it has. Wait I said that second part already.
ghyllnox: Well, I'm vegetarian, but everyone else has ham
DigitalSeahorse:
NotCainNorAbel: that said, I wasn't even invited anywhere this year.
RockPusher: NZ is not a turkey forward place, but like, even at Subway they don't do turkey anymore
Firewhiskers: Weird that ham is popular for Easter since the OG dude was probably kosher
iris_of_ether:
(I made some prime rib because hey, had it in the freezer)
DigitalSeahorse:
KakuEpsilon: @Firewhiskers It's because the ham traditio was not from the Jesus side of the equation, but from Ostara, pretty sure.
DigitalSeahorse: bubble room
