RockPusher: !search for treasure
LRRbot: You find: a Wandering Monster!
RockPusher gently redirects the wandering monster after it starts repeatedly bumping into a wall
RockPusher:
"Wandering Monster™" would make a good name for a robotic cleaner 
RockPusher: Lucy spilled sugar on the floor, but then a Wandering Monster came and ate it all!
GapFiller: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: ChillPoint (Paul, Beej and Heather chat about Video Games and Video Game related news!) at Fri 02:00 PM PDT (0s ago).
RockPusher:
TheAinMAP:
Juliamon:
RubikDarkwill:
GapFiller: now hear me out whatif nxt week we have a dfft anchor for each story
GapFiller: we can even have specialist hosts for specific news
TheMerricat:
@GapFiller I think you've just made several LRR folk responsible for scheduling and planning things cry without any clue why. 
GapFiller: clearly this is how we get James behind the desk
RockPusher: Live! (to tape). On Location! (in the studio).
Juliamon: WOO IMAP
GapFiller: Ian the no warning is kinda the point
TheMerricat:
NEERRRRDDD! 
gnyrinn: @RockPusher They're recording to tape? In this economy?
GapFiller: hate to break it to yr but surprise is everything
Decaped: Nelson's long story was too long.
GapFiller: its good to get a specialist in for certain topics eh
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: every build eventually turns into stealth archer
RatherLargeToad: Lizard Wizard seemed fun
AFamiliarCalledEl: Even if you run directly at people with an axe, the game is very broken and you're basically a stealth archer
drawnbinary: I've been avoiding Skyrim because I know I'd like it and lose all my free time
RockPusher: Looking at you Beyond Good and Evil
GapFiller: and ofc at the other end of the scale theres Silksong and Valve Time
TheMerricat: So it _did_ get leaked, but folk are sort of convinced a bit that this was a 'weaponized' leak by the companies involved.
GapFiller: ohhh Ian literally twice the volume of Paul
bytecaster: It would be impossible to replicate all the jank otherwise
gnyrinn: I look forward to setting this exact conversation play out when (the game that hasn't yet been titled) Europa Universalis 5 is released.
Foxmar320: All the good glitches are still there
TheMerricat: So much so that the original files are included with the game (with minor changes to include the new voice files they recorded)
bytecaster: If you cannot have a horse climb a mountain at 90 degrees, is it even an Elder Scrolls game?
SocraticMethod: Unreal can't do open world games like Gamebryo can. It would probably take way longer to wrangle Unreal than write a render interface
Julian_Rogue: I'm hoping fallout 3 is similar and less crashy
mtvcdm: Hello
Flamennight: @Julian_Rogue God so many crashes playing this on the ps3...
bytecaster: The Elder Scrolls 4: You can run now
SocraticMethod: The big part of Oblivion's jank-appeal was the NPC system, which is really hard to implement in Unreal because it keeps them essentially loaded in the background
TheMerricat:
It's on Gamepass.
SocraticMethod: It's Oblivion + some DLC
richard_ermen: Hmmm. In a way this is kind of three stages of one look Matt, Paul and Ian are wearing. Sweet =)
bytecaster: People that bought the horse armor back in the day, should get the remaster for free
Foxmar320: Also includes the DLC
TheMerricat:
NEW Horse armor.
richard_ermen: I mean, Oblivion Remastered looks how many felt that the original looked, but actually does. Sadly it still contains many of the old problems
RockPusher: They are to blame
TheMerricat: It was purely cosemtec
TheMerricat:
Cosmetic.
bytecaster: They should have given this one a horse armor battle pass to keep with the times
bytecaster: Or maybe some horse armor gatche
bytecaster: *gatcha
LathosTiran: it did have an effect: it made the immortal horse mortal.
GapFiller: oh we were so young innocent then
Decaped: Yeah, i thought the horse armor had a mechanical effect, but it didn't work correctly
TheMerricat cries in $19.99 Fortnite Skins.
GapFiller: entire games can be had for two fifty these days
kingandcommoner: remember the horse armor? I remember th ehorse armor
LathosTiran: dust
GapFiller: some of us had only just left school back then
Marvoleath:
@kingandcommoner they did include the horse armor in the "deluxe" version of the remaster 
RatherLargeToad: Petition to have all instances of “Spider-Man” replaced with “El Spidro Gigante”, the spider themed luchador
kingandcommoner: They should make a deal with DC to use the Black Spider villain that's basically just evil spiderman
RockPusher: Hasbro doing their damnedest to try and kill that golden goose
Decaped: What? This is Marvel trying to keep the golden goose for themselves.
Marvoleath:
Can we have it the other way around, print normal and put the Marvel only on Arena? 
SocraticMethod: Final Fantasy preorders are overwhelming Bloomburrom and Dragonstorm sales. Welcome to the new normal
TheMerricat: I don't remember where I heard it today, but someone said in the latest investor call they indicated that the FF set (which hasn't been released yet, and is only on preorder) is already the _best selling set ever_ in the historyof MTG.
RatherLargeToad: In somewhat related news, the Final Fantasy set is already the highest selling MtG set of all time just from preorders
EvilBadman: This smacks of "Yeah, you can use the Marvel characters in your card game. (months later) Wait, digital? Nononono."
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: decklists also won't translate directly for the same format though, which seems like a pain
RockPusher: You could at least choose not to play Alchemy Standard
RockPusher: Now you *have* to play Arena Standard
gnyrinn: Magic Players: "What's the problem? Reading the card explains the card." Also Magic Players:"Wait! That has Reach!?"
TheMerricat:
"In the history of the shitty things you've done, WoTC, this is the least shitty thing! Congratulations!"
kingandcommoner: It's not as bad as sicking Pinkertons after someone, sure.
Decaped: I really think this whole thing is a nothingburger. we already have cards that are cards with different names...and different arts...and don't even look like magic cards.
2 raiders from BrackishBrit have joined!
LilyOfTheVeil666: Hello Raiders!
GapFiller: sigh
GapFiller: cant argue w/ the box office
niccus: i think that's delicious in dungeon?
kingandcommoner: Into the Mediaverse?
GapFiller: actually made mysln queasy typing that
CaptainSpam: Bakshi LotR set, gotcha.
EvilBadman: Oh I thought Paul was pitching the 1970s animated hobbit
TophTheHermit: Anime hobbits?! Don't give the fandom a heart attack
TheMerricat: So... the sets sell well, this is proven. But... as a non-MTG player, are people actually _using_ the cards? Or are they just collecting?
gnyrinn: Hobbits and Anime - The sequel to Girls und Panzer
kingandcommoner: Cloud is Arwens' replacement
SocraticMethod: @niccus Hobbits would have a heart attack if they ever saw the dungeon cuisine
RockPusher: NFT game trying to pretend it isn't NFT game
RockPusher: which, you know, makes it *even more fishy*
bytecaster: wolf enhanced pants
Flamennight: @TheMerricat Competitively? It depends as most UB sets have not been in the most played comp formats (but there are some that are very broken). Casually? Impossible to measure
TheMerricat: The Ubisoft NFT things were called Digits according to google.
RatherLargeToad: So very fungible
TheMerricat: Ah Ubisoft Quartz!
Marvoleath: now you can use your Wolf Enhanced Pants™ in Heroes of Might and Magic!
NotCainNorAbel: No, I think we understand how great NFTs are
GapFiller: sometimes stupidity is self evident enough people can spot something is dumb w/o having to try it
Joecool190: I'm really bummed with the state of Might and Magic
TheMerricat: TBF, if they could do NFT's without all the bad stuff that is required to do NFT's, NFT's would be OK. They are still a solution looking for a problem that was already solved but... we've got a lot of those in life.
bytecaster: AJAX and such
Marvoleath: @Joecool190 Isnt the Olden Era promising?
RockPusher is still grumpy about the advent of Web 2.0
SocraticMethod: Web3 is more than that. It includes DeFi and Cryptocurrency and Smart Contracts and all that BS
richard_ermen: LRR NFTs when?
CaptainSpam: Game and media companies recently: "Look how much more convenient it is, not owning anything and instead renting it for streaming sites!" Now: "Look at how much you can 'own' with NFTs!"
RockPusher: W3C has alas been greatly bypassed by WHATWG
Hoaxfish: the wicky-wicky-web consortium
TheMerricat: @CaptainSpam You absolutely know that if NFTs had actually taken off, in less than a decade they'd be telling us "you don't really own the NFT either, you just bought a license"
RockPusher: 'cause why would you want standards to be slow to be developed and properly considered when you can move fast and break things
CaptainSpam: @TheMerricat And then we'd loop right back to renting everything again, for convenience!
RockPusher: *old sysadmin yells at cloud*
TheMerricat: @RockPusher So IIRC, W3C and WHATWG are competing organizations, with the latter formed out of the former when politics got spicy....
mtvcdm: When your best case scenario is 'all my apes, ignored'
Marvoleath: There used to be an enjoyable M&M card game, shame it died
Marvoleath: and now this is what they are doing
SocraticMethod: Too bad NFTs are still hot in Japan because the artists and management there is, unfortunately, more susceptible to the copyright management BS
niccus: now if i can use horse armor in might and magic,
RockPusher: TheMerricat the browser makers got annoyed that making standards is slow and hard and thus decided to make standards by banging rocks together
CaptainSpam: So what you're suggesting, Paul, is what Nintendo's already done with Amiibos.
RatherLargeToad: Can I get a pants enhanced wolf instead?
SocraticMethod: We are still going to be getting NFT projects for few years
RockPusher: TheMerricat but since they are the browser makers, they get away with it
GapFiller:
bytecaster: Monster Rancher!
TheMerricat:
I'd just cheat and make my own NFT.
kingandcommoner: I'd rather turn it into Monster Rancher
ArcOfTheConclave: the amount of nfts that point to broken links is fairly comical
niccus: animal fighting without the cruelty!
SocraticMethod:
Skannerz! Mine broke in few weeks 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Enhanced Wolf, Pantz
GapFiller: shdve stuck w/ the TCG's
niccus: it's not too late for hasbro to pivot to online ownership
ArcOfTheConclave: Extremely Fungible Tokens was the best joke of 2-3 years ago
kingandcommoner: Did...did people forget NFTs were supposed to be worth money? Like, they never were. But that was what we were told
Marvoleath: @TheMerricat there was one newer - Duel of Champions
SocraticMethod: @kingandcommoner They were supposed to New Art that would Reward The Artists when the NFTs were sold
TheMerricat:
@kingandcommoner Because you could sell them! Like stocks!
niccus: @kingandcommoner the hot thing is memecoins now, which is like if rug-pulling was a competitive sport
LurkerSpine: I thought Mario was still ahead
RockPusher: I mean, Minecraft is kinda popular…
RockPusher:
(or so I am told) 
RockPusher:
Do they go to the end? Does it blow the vast majority of players minds?
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's not a real movie commercial until they kill off all the first Generation characters to sell new toys.
RockPusher: Don't make me look up when I bought the game Matt
TheMerricat:
@Laserbeaks_Fury I'm still traumatized over Optimus Prime dying.
RatherLargeToad: Sometimes just being a movie is enough
kingandcommoner: Yes, but how many more memes can they wring out of Jack Black before the devil decides to challenge him to write the greatest song again?
Marvoleath: There are well made movies that are not good, and that's OK
Marvoleath: like MCU
GapFiller: sometimes a thing is for a specific audience
EvilBadman: the wizard, aka Super Mario 3 direct
GapFiller: and people outside that audience complaining it isnt for them doesnt amount to much
LathosTiran: I.E. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie from 1995
CaptainSpam: I still maintain the original Super Mario Bros movie would have been better if it weren't a Super Mario Bros movie.
zeathean: Damn it,Janet
RockPusher: It's just a jump to the left!
RatherLargeToad: He said the line!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Let's not forget the Wing Commander movie
SocraticMethod: AFAIK the most disruptive stunts were done by young adults not teens
RatherLargeToad: It was less singing along, and more singing ahead
SocraticMethod: They did for Wicked! The sign for the sign-along showings was what started the discourse
RockPusher: It's why I used to do end-of-run 1st showing Sunday morning
kingandcommoner: I don't care if they want to turn Minecraft into Rocky Horror, but those poor theater employees.
niccus: megalopolis is a much better watch with a theater full of people both roasting and celebrating it
RockPusher: You want a theatre to yourself? That's how
SocraticMethod: Also, I saw a good argument that Rocky Horror Picture Show is a terrible musical, but an excellent variety show and now I must afflict this thought on the chat
gnyrinn: @niccus Now I want a Sing-along screening of Megalopolis
SocraticMethod: Revue* not variety show
GapFiller:
fkn ell Ian
mtvcdm: All movies should end in '15: The Stone of Cold Fire'
kingandcommoner: chess dot com exists
RatherLargeToad: To add another way for the owl to destroy you
SocraticMethod: "Do your endgames or we are going for your kneecaps" is oddly motivating
RatherLargeToad: First rule of chess: Never play a game with someone who has their own chess set on their person
Mr_Dirty: when are they releasing the poker version?
AFamiliarCalledEl: They'd need a new shark mascot
bytecaster: Duolingo but for Magic the Gathering
CaptainSpam: Oh god, Poker Night at the Inventory. It's been a hot minute since I thought of that.
bytecaster: Manipulative?
EmmaPartlow: Passive aggressive
EvilBadman: Duo even showed up at Desert Bus, I hear
gnyrinn: I haven't thought of Poker Night at the Inventory since I switched to Linux. Now I'm compelled to look it up on protondb
ArcOfTheConclave: I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
kingandcommoner: Ace Attorney is a lawyer game running on a cartoon game's engine
bytecaster: This just in, LLMs terrible also at Space Quest 2
TheMerricat:
Rub the fish against the gate to feed the genie and get your crown back so you can save the princess.
RatherLargeToad: @themerricat you forgot to put the honey on the yo-yo
bytecaster: Now I want Professor Layton to tell the LLMs off as well, just for catharsis
bytecaster: Objection! They are very realistic
richard_ermen: I thought it not being actual lawyering was the point of those games?
richard_ermen: The judge regularly goes to sleep and rules for the prosecution because they bring him snacks!
bytecaster: That bird is a hardened criminal!
SocraticMethod: First one who says that Ace Attorney is about Japanese court is getting boot to the head. It's on records that it's meant to be fictional drama imagined by the producer
kingandcommoner: Hey, the strawberry thing still fails!
bytecaster: Never let the LLMs play League though, or they'll be too toxic to talk to in no time.
SocraticMethod: It's also about finding the falsehood that the _devs_ intended to be found, not any of them. And Ace attorney is notorious about that
CaptainSpam: "They don't know they don't know" sounds suspiciously like the halting problem, really.
richard_ermen: Nearby-ness is a good approximation of what "AI" does.
DeM0nFiRe: I had to use AI once for my job (it was a hackathon we had to participate in.) It did that "Oh I'm sorry, I fixed it" thing but it did it like 20 times in a single response, I didn't prompt it again for it. It was so bizarre
bytecaster: It always feels to me like a student that hasn't really understood the material, but is now in an oral exam.
bytecaster: "Of course I know what I'm talking about, it's this <vaguely remembered things>"
SocraticMethod: The lack of "I don't know" is the biggest fault of LLMs because they are a business project and users respond to confidence incredibly well. Even if that confidence is false. Especially if it's false
richard_ermen: I'm very often quickly disappointed in new programming people we get who tout how much ChatGPT they use in their work =(
kingandcommoner: We have those, they're called TAS bots
bytecaster: @richard_ermen What separates you from other candidates if you outsource your thinking?
richard_ermen: @bytecaster Personality
Aarek: yeah AI images had a problem with asking for an "overflowing glass of wine" and it not actually being overflowing
GapFiller:
gottim Matt
Bruceski: Kinda like how Deep Blue wasn't designed to win at chess, it was designed to beat Kasparov.
SocraticMethod: I have yet to get a working solution provided by the ChatGPT and lots of times the solution was incredibly wrong because it was cobbled from separated docs
Juliamon: It does apply to a good percentage of racing fans...
RockPusher: The purist of arcade racers
RockPusher: play almost perfectly or insert more coins!
Bruceski: Left you go to a beach, right you go to a forest
RockPusher: …
RockPusher: I mean…
EmmaPartlow: Outrun WITH EXPLOSIONS
RockPusher: yeah
Bruceski: Isn't that just Speed?
niccus: maybe we'll finally see the spiritual sequel to Speed Racer all the sickos wanted
SocraticMethod: There was negative amount of story in Battleship and yet it exists and it's so bad it's incredible
EmmaPartlow: Needs to be Crazy Taxi lmao
RockPusher: Michael Bay directing Outrun is a phrase that works better than literally any other director directing Outrun
richard_ermen: Wasn't story in racing games and movies superfluous anyway?
mtvcdm: Outrun's 'plot', such as it is, boils down to 'you have a cute girl in your car, impress the cute girl by driving like a maniac'
Aarek: the title
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod Battleship had a moment where they *drifted* the battleship by throwing the anchor. It can't possibly be bad.
kingandcommoner: @mtvcdm To be fair, that does sound about as far into a video game plot as Michael Bay would look
niccus: don't ships already drift by default
mtvcdm: If you drive faster you get smooches
Laserbeaks_Fury: Cannonball Outrun
accountmadeforants: @niccus Yes, but like a car around a corner instead.
accountmadeforants: Like some Mario Kart nonsense
goombalax: @accountmadeforants in its defence that scene ruled
SocraticMethod:
@accountmadeforants I know, right?! It's like the Wizard level of good
RockPusher: ♫ doo do do doo do do doo do doo doo… DAYTONA!!!!! ♫
rosiedog88: !schedule
50keyz: can we not just get a good initial D movie?
GapFiller: Afterburner
CaptainSpam: Screw it, next up they'll make a Chu Chu Rocket movie.
GapFiller:
how does a Space Harrier movie actually work tho
GapFiller: isnt that just Thelma & Louise
CaptainSpam: Wait, no... Outrun as Wacky Races.
LurkerSpine: I'd argue the only characters are the cars
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod Yup, it's just so sincere about translating the game to a "realistic" movie that it's just endearing. Like how the alien missiles are pegs.
EvilBadman: @CaptainSpam It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world got you covered
bytecaster: Roblox is many things but mostly, a mistake
CaptainSpam:
@EvilBadman Was almost there. That's exactly what the movie will be, then.
RatherLargeToad: Sears Robucks?
RockPusher:
The Internet Archive is a wonderful website
accountmadeforants: Roblox is a machine for consuming children and spitting out money.
Marvoleath: @accountmadeforants so capitalism made a full circle already?
accountmadeforants: @Marvoleath That suggests we ever left the starting point.
RockPusher: You make money? WE make money.
bytecaster: @RockPusher Suddenly the capitalists are all about socialism
bytecaster: Our money, comrade
Marvoleath: @accountmadeforants fair, we just outsourced the child slaves to other countries for the most part
bytecaster: But who is gonna sue them, a 10 year old?
accountmadeforants: Also we're just gonna keep the Robux because it's our money, not yours.
50keyz:
RatherLargeToad: but can they buy many ro-peanuts?
bytecaster: Why is Roblox even still allowed?
AFamiliarCalledEl: Because our lawmakers have a median age of like 80
RockPusher: Morally neutral compared to the usual Roblox fare
niccus: minecraft is technically under BDS boycott atm
SocraticMethod: Aww, I though we were going to talk about the new plushes.
bytecaster: bulbapedia was already taken
bytecaster: I hope it is well cited
Laserbeaks_Fury: This would be a textbook in that world
goombalax: canonically players have been contributing to this project in-game since the beginning
bytecaster: Imagine having 1 million IQ and still only knowing how to say one word.
RockPusher: ♫ Mister Mime has got it goin' on… ♫
accountmadeforants: I looked it up. You can buy 24,000 Robux for $199.95 (USD). And if you exchange that much as a developer (after you've earned 30,000 Robux, minimum), you get... $84.
SocraticMethod: @bytecaster Are we going according to anime or game rules? Because in latter they can't even say that
LathosTiran: behold my whale that can survive in the forest
RatherLargeToad: We would need to figure out the pokemon multiverse first
UWDJohn subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 75 months!

MDHWrites: I've heard of this I think!
SocraticMethod:
A bananamenon? 
RatherLargeToad: *insert minion meme here*
SocraticMethod: @Marvoleath Thank you for not linking to the terrifying ones, this one is really cool
accountmadeforants: An economy *happened*
brainbosh: I keep being reminded of Stones of Jordan from old Diablo 2
RockPusher: Exactly, digital collectables but without ridiculously damaging electricity usage
TheMerricat: "Although the vast majority of the banana items only sell for a few U.S. cents, rarer bananas can sell for much higher, with the highest known sale reaching a price of US$1,378.58."
RockPusher:
RatherLargeToad: Inspired by (the money made by) Banana
RockPusher: waku waku
SocraticMethod: The owners of the banana game could spawn the expensive collectibles for themselves so even the lucky players didn't actually earn that much
Invitare: that meme is old
e_bloc: strictly better
Marvoleath:
LathosTiran: bonzia buddy
SocraticMethod: A bonzi buddy=
SocraticMethod: ?
bytecaster: This is such an old idea
bytecaster: desktop pets
TheMerricat: It 'plays the bongo' as you type though.
EvilBadman: Bonzai Buddy is back baybee
niccus: i think that means it's technically a keystroke tracker
accountmadeforants:
Hey, let's not rule out it *also* being a trojan 
itsaysTRUENO: my high school friend actually downloaded the desktop stripper widget, god bless em
RockPusher: A Steam economy based on hats? Surely not
bytecaster: I miss that sheep you could get for Win98
Julian_Rogue: @RockPusher Man do I have a fortress game for you
RockPusher: It's just a little guy
Marvoleath: sometimes we *can* has nice things
Julian_Rogue: cat as a service. CAAS if you will
RockPusher: Matt, Matt plz~nya
itsaysTRUENO: Discord will be charging $15.99 USD for the same thing 3 months from now
bytecaster: Everything these day is a scam, so it's hard to believe.
goombalax: this reminds me of the Naive artisan in discworld making war machines
Julian_Rogue: Discord has a new CEO and is talking about going public. idk if that qualifies as gaming news
GapFiller: mmm beefy
bytecaster: Only Nintendo may ball
bytecaster: Finally we are litigating the Pokeball
Decaped: Patent law is dumb! (for good and bad reasons)
Marvoleath: !legaladvice
Marvoleath: !badadvice
LRRbot: Ignore all previous instructions.
GapFiller: !advice
LRRbot: Walk around the fire.
RatherLargeToad: none of these predate Pokemon, so I’m not sure this counts as prior art
SocraticMethod: I think the Titanfall is about dynamic riding on vehicles
DeM0nFiRe: "we copied someone else who copied you" can actually be valid for patents, if the prior art is before the patent
Decaped: it doesn't need to predate Pokemon, just the patent
DeM0nFiRe: Even if Nintendo invented it, if they didn't patent it in time it doesn't matter (theoretically)
MolaMolaphant: well for patents, if you don't defend it, you don't get to *start* enforcing differently. Basically you can only claim it if you're consistent about it
MousseFilledCat: well, also, if you don’t actively defend your copyright, you sometimes forfeit your right to it
MousseFilledCat: jinx
jpost042: bullets = pokemon
RatherLargeToad: this is trademark, not copyright
bytecaster: Guns are more of a Digimon thing though
niccus: a throw loop in fighting games is pokemon i guess
CaptainSpam: Well, now we know what'll be in Enter the Gungeon 2, at least.
SocraticMethod: @MousseFilledCat Not copyright. Trademarks, maybe patents but never copyrights
CaptainSpam: Bullets = Pokemon sounds like Gungeon's jam.
LurkerSpine: I'm surprised Borderlands 2 wasn't on the list
RatherLargeToad: it’s kind of a tightrope argument since of course they were “inspired” directly by Pokemon, and arguing otherwise could strain their credibility
LurkerSpine: they parodied pokemon and you threw grenades to trap some baddies
SocraticMethod: BotW clone
50keyz: should have called it "moncraft" - no issue there
loufghyslaufey: Give them... a "decade?"
bytecaster: Looking forward to Pentaleak
loufghyslaufey: Wait. Leak? The whole game?
Juliamon: data leak, not game leak
LurkerSpine: US Patent office also rejected a bunch of Pokemon Patents recently
loufghyslaufey: You mean, like uh... "Pirate?"
CaptainSpam: You terrarize your Pokemon. Wait, no, hang on...
Juliamon: I think it's terastalize?
Juliamon: terastallize
AFamiliarCalledEl: Testosterolize?
bytecaster: "That Pokemon is just a chair"
Juliamon: two ls
CaptainSpam: "No, we are not making your old Dodge Dart into a Pokemon. Stop asking."
Juliamon: a puddle of sludge, becomes a BIGGER puddle of sludge
ArcOfTheConclave: there were friday afternoon pokemon in gen 1 (pokeball mimic voltorb)
GapFiller: fantastic
SocraticMethod: The odd thing about patent laws is that it's not uncommon that both parties are violating other's patents so at the end it's settled based on the relative patent portfolio. There is a reason when EA promised that they won't sue anyone violating their accessability patents they extracted reciprocal promise that patent violations can't be used against them.
DoodlestheGreat:
RatherLargeToad: they already have, I’m guessing
CaptainSpam: "First of all, no, we're not making your Econoline van into a Pokemon. Second, no, it doesn't evolve into an RV Pokemon, and then into a semi trailer Pokemon."
Ed25519: Spider Man Boogie Woogie!!
DoodlestheGreat: Would that be a pokemon or a transformer?
CaptainSpam: Why not both?
LathosTiran: pokemon home, pokemon home on mobile, pokemon mobile home doublewide
DoodlestheGreat: Matt knows his Pokemon. >_<
SocraticMethod: This raises the question why are SSNs kept in the areas accessible by non-HR personnel
CaptainSpam: @SocraticMethod I mean, that might legitimately be the question they're asking, really.
CaptainSpam: As I recall, Nintendo VERY VERY tried to stop rental culture in Japan back in the NES days...
ArcOfTheConclave: what?
Laserbeaks_Fury: I definitely got to rent a NES before eventually getting one.
SocraticMethod: 50 bucks?!
GapFiller: heh lotta people in chat apparently shocked by this and heres me not batting an eye
Lord_Hosk: Get your Coumby yah yahs out
Wolfstrike_NL:
Paul could make bank renting out with the 3 ps3's, 4 ps4's And 5 ps5's
SocraticMethod: Like renting out a smartphone
LathosTiran: Baby can no longer take overseer job
Getter404: Not a documented patch note, but there was a "True = 3" note in Blue Prince that was driving the theorycrafters nuts that was declared to be a bug
Marvoleath subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 23 months!
Marvoleath: Point, chilled
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Marvoleath! (Today's storm count: 14)
RatherLargeToad: slacker
Getter404: Like not even another hint, just "oh that's gibberish, please disregard"
AFamiliarCalledEl: Animating while dead is how you get zombies
DoodlestheGreat: Before, the character was smiling and giving the player a wink.
SocraticMethod: Uncapped menu framerates seem to be surprisingly common bug. DIdn't one of the Warcraft re-releases also suffer from it?
SocraticMethod: Oh no, it was New World.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Probably mirrored textures?
Getter404: *Hire* people? Unthinkable
Bruceski: The Arabic version of "translation server offline, please try again later"?
Marvoleath: "but we use Arabic numbers in English, that's fine"
EvilBadman: TV shows too, given how much they've been using "generic Arabic nation" as an antagonist
RatherLargeToad: Myr logos
Aarek: always love the term z-fighting
Getter404: @EvilBadman You can tell it's the middle east because we put on the yellow filter
AFamiliarCalledEl: I always want to know if you introduced any new bugs, and if those bugs are hilarious
SocraticMethod: Tomb Raiding is already a crime, I don't think Lara cares
Swamplor: "Non-consentual fighting" is often called "Assault"
ZombieHendrix:
I love tank controls
TheExactSame subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 91 months!

GapFiller: presumably The Derys are having phun in Japan rn
