matthaus_c: he did What
Stormgod519: Curiosity killed the cat
matthaus_c: oh buddy
GhostValv: oh no
Coloneljesus: he's learning
matthaus_c: he's a tactile learner
Didero: A harsh but important lesson
Gaelan_Maestro: as long as he is ok now
Moansters: A fellow zappy spaghetti enjoyer, just like my cat
dolphgrim: @stormgod519 I think maybe that's not what I would call curiosity. šŸ˜…
BlueMechanic: huggin molly
Coloneljesus: molly would never
Gaelan_Maestro: my cats like flushing the toilet until they accidentally gave themself a swirly

quasi79fu: hugggging Mollly
dolphgrim: Snugglin molly
southern_woodsman: Huggin Molly
iris_of_ether: That's a mood

TXC2: "what words?"
RandomTrivia: Hi friends! lrrHEART Missed a bunch of these but can't wait for more of this gorgeous piece of art
iris_of_ether: My spouse just got diagnosed with both ADHD and autism. He can remember absurd lists of numbers... Until his energy runs out. Then no.
TXC2: hello RandomTrivia welcome
cthonicjay: Ah yes, the Undiagnosed, But I'm Pretty Sure
Stormgod519: okay, be back later maybe
dolphgrim: Us ADHD-ers flock together.
Sanityis0verrated: that is that lizard brain muscle memory
iris_of_ether: It's kind of amazing how when one person in the group gets diagnosed and then a bunch more follow
dolphgrim: Oh! You installed the new GPU! šŸ˜®
Sanityis0verrated: Love you Bai
Didero: That talking catfish was kind of strange, does that count? Kappa
RandomTrivia: Please congratulate the computer on its recent surgery
RandomTrivia: :D
quasi79fu: what if its not the compiuter thats weird but the person streaaming? LOL
TXC2: Ben downloaded more RAM Kappa
Didero: The stream is still on boothcam
dolphgrim: Well done! šŸ˜šŸ„³ lrrSHINE
a_Weakling: is the chair in the back for a different setup or for a partner to be in the stream?
matthaus_c: not sure a 9070 counts as a 'baby step' :p
Moansters: More like a baby leap
TXC2: still on a 1050 here :P
dolphgrim: Let's get mama back!
Didero: Volume seemed good to me
GapFiller: forgot abt getting that natty dress
BrowneePointz: Seeing this stream setup brings me back to
GapFiller: can remember everything else so far but that costume change slipped thru the memory banks
BrowneePointz: the days where I routinely stepped on rakes on a streamly basis
Coloneljesus: can you change upscaling to FSR?
Didero: I usually turn down Shadow Quality first
Coloneljesus: yeah, hence FSR instead of DLS. but looks like unsupported
Moansters: Game looks gorgeous though
BrowneePointz: Ben plays WoW, he knows what to turn down first to get it to run better
TXC2: WoW is old enough to drink
BrowneePointz: pour one out for your wow computers
TheAinMAP: escher3FOX
couchboyj: And WoW is a single core game, cause its just that old
Coloneljesus: but don't pout it over your wow computers pls
Coloneljesus: pour*
BrowneePointz: directly on the mobo so it can soak up all that booze
Coloneljesus: to soften up all that grime

BrowneePointz: getting her in trouble
Moansters: That is one sassy fish
TXC2: dear!
Didero: Was that a cave we could go into a bit down?
dolphgrim: There's a baybee
TXC2: really looked like the US flag :p
BrowneePointz: they nailed old church lady whose vibrato is so wide itā€™s a waver
Didero: Oh no, I think it was just that alcove that I saw. But sure, I'll take the credit :p
TheAinMAP: HyperGravity
GhostValv: D:
dolphgrim: WALK THE PLANK, CROUTON
BrowneePointz: a thoroughly moistened crouton
Didero: We do have that thing that shows the route, so we know where we shouldn't go
Didero: I think there's a menu with the tutorial messages?
dolphgrim: Just don't forget to ground pound šŸ˜‹
Coloneljesus: oooh StS on AFK?
Omnipotrevor: You going to be playing magic tomorrow?
a_Weakling: Have you tried out Monster Train 2 at all?
TXC2: isn't there an ability in Skyrim/ fallout 4 that shows the route to next objective?
matthaus_c: it's almost as if you like us or something
a_Weakling: so good
a_Weakling: big reveal!
TXC2: SPOILER WARNING!
Didero: @Coloneljesus Not on AFK, it's on the Long Game
TXC2: Spoilers over!
Coloneljesus: oh neat
otakubox0: I just started Monster Train 2 and didn't know that but now I'm even more excited, I was beginning to miss the old factions
MadameAdversary: i just windmill slammed a purchase of monster train 2 now that i heard that
matthaus_c: #influenced
Didero: Wait, she stole part of Benjy for this?
BrowneePointz: yep
BrowneePointz: stole Benjyā€™s heart to trap a toddlerā€™s soul in a tree
BrowneePointz: to give herself time to find a way to bring her back
dolphgrim: šŸ¦‰!
BrowneePointz: we donā€™t know yet
BrowneePointz: we just know Hazel knows him
BrowneePointz: also weā€™ve moved into the Appalachian foothills and I love it
brieandbacon: This just in: Ben - camp

Didero: Also Ben it said you could buy an upgrade
GapFiller: okay the jankiness is ingame
GapFiller: had trouble telling whether or not that was the stream
BrowneePointz: yea thereā€™s a stop motion setting @gapfiller
Didero: sturdy lad
matthaus_c: break it down
TXC2: !clips
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!)
Didero: rave party
kumatsu: a Ben PiF classic: Getting stuck on random geometry
Aceviru: That's what we call non-stop motion
BrowneePointz: I got stuck on one of those guys geometry once too
TXC2: I think we got stuck as we died
GasCityGaming: Hey! Home stream, yay video card get!
TXC2: hello GasCityGaming welcome
kumatsu: GPU's got ANTS
matthaus_c: needs more frozen peas
BrowneePointz: speaking of Stop Motion were you fellas gonna check out Midnight Walk on Letā€™s Nope?
GasCityGaming: I feel that, 9th gen i9 already feels old somehow
matthaus_c: god Midnight Walk is gorgeous
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/EagerAwkwardShallotRitzMitz-vxniv9AB86qVaC7r
GasCityGaming: !uptime
LRRbot: The stream has been live for 36:50.
BrowneePointz: first person stop motion horrory game
Didero: Ok Twitch finally decided to finish processing https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/EnthusiasticCloudyMonitorJebaited-4upZYtvaSjAsOiIx
quasi79fu: midnight walk is a clay motion horr like game
BrowneePointz: where they like physically scanned in claymation
quasi79fu: its veery emotional and excelllent game
GasCityGaming: ooooh, i remember seeing trailers for that, looked cool!
matthaus_c: not much reading
Didero: Few games can :p
quasi79fu: Adam no..You yes
Gaelan_Maestro: upgrade time?
GasCityGaming: that ransom note game last night was a sleeper banger btw
BrowneePointz: itā€™s was incredible
BrowneePointz: rl JobJob is such a good idea
BrowneePointz: I forgot how creepy the song for this area starts
GasCityGaming: who's cosplaying the watercooler next time?
protojman: oh heck yeah enjoyed it a lot
Didero: It definitely seems to be going for an unsettling vibe
thesimbiote subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 32 months!
LRRbot: lrrSPOT Thanks for subscribing, thesimbiote! (Today's storm count: 5)
BrowneePointz: try to understand
BrowneePointz: TRY to to understand, try try try to understaaaaaaand
brieandbacon: What is this, Crash Bandicoot?!
Didero: Surely not difficult for a pro gamer like you
Gaelan_Maestro: log drivers waltz?
TXC2: is being on 1440p any sort of issue?
Didero: You could try turning off the stopmotion during the platforming section to make sure
GhostValv: different kind of stress testing
TXC2: "strength of the bear, speed of the puma!"
TXC2: my bad :p
GasCityGaming: so much room for activities
Didero: Plenty of room for your facecam in the bottom right this way :p
GasCityGaming: game did that for me sometimes too, might just be the game.
Didero: Wouldn't turning off v-sync just make it try to generate more frames?
TXC2: go back to old, old, OLD stream days of having the face cam AND chat on the right hand side, and have the game in 4:3 :p
Didero: Or you could try v-sync off but frame limiter on
BrowneePointz: I turned down shadows and foliage and got the most bang for my buck iirc
matthaus_c: it's often a miracle games work at all
Didero: @BrowneePointz But the foliage is so pretty...
BrowneePointz: I agree didero
Didero: You should make your boss buy you a new computer
TXC2: we made sand make pictures with maths, and then complain when it doesn't do it fast enough :p
TXC2: (not about "a.i.")
BrowneePointz: but as someone who streams with a slightly older pc Iā€™ve found out rapidly which settings affect frames real fast @didero
Shadowsoflife: @Didero why did I get turned down, I didn't ask for anything. :p
Coloneljesus: @TXC2 we did give the sand doping, tho, that should count for something
Didero: @BrowneePointz Oh yeah, I can imagine
thesimbiote: Hey, Ben, do you have a business email where I can send you a piece of fanart? I'm not on socials anymore, so I wasn't certain
BrowneePointz: I think you missed the first Borrowers message
TXC2: Coloneljesus true

Didero: getting doxed by your boss smh my head
dumbo3k: Kitty!~
TheAinMAP: HahaGingercat
iris_of_ether: escher3MEOW
WiJohn: Catting hard I see
TXC2: non traction, left gravity
iris_of_ether: When we used to have a cat, he would sleep under the blankets, and got caught in the flap of sheet at the bottom of the bed more than once
GapFiller: perusing that contact doc and theres something cute abt Wiggins still being Crew for Twithc purposes
GapFiller: not least given he left before streams really became a thing
TXC2: ah, the anime cicada sound
Gaelan_Maestro: my mums cat has made a blanket cave by dragging small blankets around
kimmibeans: Yes
gualdhar: The 21st repealed prohibition, I didn't think it set an age limit
kimmibeans: Since the 1980s
GapFiller: offchance anyones wondering abt cicada size heres a photo from wikip on a hand for scale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cicada_Close-Up.jpg
kimmibeans: No, 21st amendment was way earlier
TheAinMAP: That's how you remember which amendment it is, not why the age is 21.
iris_of_ether: Yeah the age was raised to 21 much much later
thesimbiote: Some states have a lower age, but most are 21
foxwithaknife: oh my god these are literally bird calls I would hear growing up
Didero: GETTING weird? Have you not been paying attention? You talked to a fish!
Viscount16: Technically states can set their own drinking ages, but Federal Gov't funding for various things was tied to a drinking age of 21, so basically everyone fell in line
foxwithaknife: the details in this game are immaculate
Viscount16: largely around highway safety, etc
Didero: It's probably our fault #blameChat
gualdhar: Ah, states with drinking ages lower than 21 are ineligible for highway funds, among other things
zimmercj: US drinking laws are weird. The federal age is 21, but states can set it lower. However, if they set it lower they lose a lot of federal highway funds.
A_Dub888: Hello Bayou Buddies
TXC2: hello A_Dub888 welcome
Didero: Upgrade available
TXC2: who needs highways for cars when you have public transport you can get drunk on? Kappa
kimmibeans: Currently all 50 states have a minimum drinking age of 21, but it is 18 in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands
ZER0_TW0: 18 for Quebec as well
thesimbiote: So thrilled I'm catching this last stream live. Half of my family is Skarurah Nation and the Appalachian foothills were their stomping grounds. It's really cool to see these places in a game.
A_Dub888: kweee-bec
zimmercj: Certain states have exceptions for religious reasons, and some like Wisconsin allow minors to drink with parent/guardian/spouse approval
Coloneljesus: what about sudbury?
a_Weakling: same for wisconsin
loufghyslaufey: Huh
kimmibeans: That is true for a few states
cobthegreat: Also in Wisconsin
loufghyslaufey: Well, people had to drink something when running water wasn't even a thing... yet?
TXC2: this just popped into my head, but surely, SURELY, someone else has come up with Queer-bec ?
iris_of_ether: Suddenly a lot makes sense about Wisconsin. (I'm from Wisconsin)
brieandbacon: In the UK it's 18 to buy alcohol, 16 to order with a meal in a restaurant, and like 5 at home with your parents...
TXC2: big mood there Ben :p
matthaus_c: it doesn't feel the same when it's not a crime
kumatsu: my first beer was a cheap mexican beer when I was 15, didn't touch alcohol again until I was 21 :P
A_Dub888: Bengineerings are so cool
loufghyslaufey: Bee Gays, Dood Grimes?
GapFiller: phun phact only started getting age ID'd AFTER turning 18
kimmibeans: I mean, at home my parents never really made it forbidden, so I never really went nuts when I became legal
zimmercj: Iā€™m a Wisconsin Safe Serve certified trainer (alcohol sales/service) and WI has some weird liquor laws
Bruceski: Back in college I was taking some "do not take with alcohol" medication that I took very seriously, so by the time I was willing to drink I'd spent enough time sober at parties where other people weren't sober that I couldn't really see the appeal.
GapFiller: phunny tangential story to that getting ID'd these days in my late thirties is if anything a way to still feel young for a moment
loufghyslaufey: Oooh
loufghyslaufey: He's cursed or something
TheAinMAP: Werewolf?
Aceviru: Too late
Didero: are he ok
zimmercj: Werewolf
brieandbacon: There wolf
kimmibeans: WTF
WiJohn: Did not see werechicken coming
TXC2: ooooh thats....different
A_Dub888: !brib
loufghyslaufey: Heh, Parrot Beast
Didero: Ooh, four wings, cool
matthaus_c: woah... kolaghan...
zimmercj: rougarou
TXC2: booooo1
Shadowsoflife: Not the were I thought he was going to be
protojman: aaaaahuehuehue
Didero: ben
kumatsu: itkCLOWN
Aceviru: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words, they are a mother
gualdhar: Cock a doodle oh shit
WiJohn: I feel like you just found out your step-dad's a flying mount
protojman: same dude tho
Didero: Loot the bar! :p
Didero: Free booze
kumatsu: 50g Dad
JKBalch: At least he wasn't a henpecked husband trope
A_Dub888: ā€œLet me mount you daddy
Coloneljesus: @A_Dub888 bonk
loufghyslaufey: *unofficial
GapFiller: WiJohn this is surely taking getting rides from yr da a bit far
iris_of_ether: benginBonk
loufghyslaufey: Baptiste? Ain't that a Street Fighter's name?
Didero: more like sCRAP
loufghyslaufey: Or callsjgn?
A_Dub888: isnā€™t that Colbertā€™s pianist?
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/SoftFlirtyAnteaterFUNgineer-AAaeBIxcx_0tPnIx
loufghyslaufey: I don't really catch up on Late Nights these days, but maybe?
TXC2: Jean Emanuel Baptiste Zorg?
loufghyslaufey: I dipped into Conan clips lately
dumbo3k: Craig Ferguson?
RayFK: Craig Ferguson?
GapFiller: whos even does Late Nite these days
Bruceski: Craig Ferguson was unhinged
matthaus_c: Space Ghost
vinewood_og: Ferguson!
gualdhar: Jon Batiste is doing his own thing, he's not with the Late Show anymore
zimmercj: I miss Craig Ferguson
dumbo3k: Craig Ferguson was fantastic
couchboyj: Conan O'Brian was my fav. Craig a close second.
loufghyslaufey: Oh, I half-guessed Jay Leno? Was that his name?
protojman: I can only imagine the insanity if you got Ben and Conan in a room together
iris_of_ether: I did love Space Ghost, rip Zorak's VA
A_Dub888: @dumbo3k ur fantastic
RocknGrohlNerd: Craig was the topšŸ¤Ÿ
RayFK: Vibing, working, how you doing bud?
zimmercj: I love his monologue about Brittney spears and calling out the media for being bus-holes
GapFiller: Leno was a well known dick besides
TXC2: Jimmy fucking Fallon
TXC2: ?
gualdhar: Letterman?
brieandbacon: James Corden?
protojman: Kimmel?
Angnor33: David Letterman?
Bruceski: I liked the "it's late, it's gonna be weird, you're welcome to come along for the ride" vibe of Ferguson
ShaneLeeAtk: ^
brieandbacon: Yeah, America can keep Corden
GapFiller: it really is amazing just how punchable Corden consistently manages to be
RayFK: "I was late because one of the most well-known wanks to work with is flashmobbing a decade past its relevance"
GapFiller: like maintaining that lvl of punchability takes active effort
RayFK: "and I got a coffee"
TXC2: a flash mob would bring out a panic response from me
A_Dub888: @rayfk ā€œDid you get enough for the office?ā€
vinewood_og: Craig Ferguson finale intro. Get me every time! https://youtu.be/tggLZnB3Wn0?si=-5lzaB7xLhXBGDII
BrowneePointz: flash mobs that donā€™t interact with people I enjoy
Didero: A prank is only good if everybody involved laughs about it
RayFK: I get joy everytime one of those asshole prank streamers/youtubers gets arrested in a country where they FAFO
BrowneePointz: like the ones where a bunch of musicians show up and play music etc
Bruceski: I'm all for silliness and the fun that goes with it, but I feel it's gotta be out-in
Bruceski: *opt-in
Shadowsoflife: FOX
TXC2: fox!
GapFiller: FOX!
gualdhar: crouton about to be crumbs
iris_of_ether: escher3FOX escher3FOX escher3FOX
random_shoes: solid rule, I like it
TheAinMAP: escher3FOX
Shadowsoflife: BUN!
loufghyslaufey: Reading? No...
dolphgrim: "I'm not even sure if they /had/ possums in ancient Rome..."
loufghyslaufey: That Rabbit is late
Shadowsoflife: always
loufghyslaufey: Running, running & late
thesimbiote: I don't like being photographed or filmed, and in big cities I'm constantly stressed when I spot an influencer filming in public, scared I might end up being recorded camden30AventurineTired
foxwithaknife: vulpes vulpes mentioned!
Gaelan_Maestro: in his defence he has only feet, no legs
TXC2: come on, they got those itty bitty legs
Didero: They only got li'l legs, what do you want from them
Riiiiiiis: Ohai
A_Dub888: to be fair, croutons arenā€™t exactly known for their agility
sephsays: don't bully crouton >:(
zimmercj: I will not take croutons slander. he is my child and I love him
Didero: "Get taller legs" isn't constructive though
ballesta25: It is if you construct said legs
TXC2: "you can't coach height"
Angnor33: Look, jumping is a LOT about the legs...
A_Dub888: Someone skipped leg day
protojman: Hot Rod...
A_Dub888: Bengineering is a masterpiece
Gaelan_Maestro: i like how you become invincible while finishing them off
Didero: It's your job to make them go away though :p
matthaus_c: I also feel invincible when finishing guys off--
BrowneePointz: that dobro tho
TXC2: got no Mook chivalry
TehAmelie: seems a bit like Doom's glory kills
BrowneePointz: anyways vis a vis PAX more places should adopt furry convention video taping social contracts
TehAmelie: which, there's worse mechanics to borrow
protojman: can confirm re doom
Aceviru: yup
Coloneljesus: new doom is good but not great I'd say
A_Dub888: Hazel ā€œDoomgalā€ Flood
Coloneljesus: too unfocused
protojman: game is a lot of fun. feels like an early 2000s story shooter.
protojman: yeah the story is biiiiiig
BrowneePointz: all the remakes have
BrowneePointz: new one feels like a new Unreal almost
Omnipotrevor: wasn't there something about being sad about a bunny?
matthaus_c: missing on the soundtrack of a Doom game is a special kind of sin
TehAmelie: from what i've seen they keep trying to give Doomguy character. i've even seen scenes where you look at him from someone else's view
Coloneljesus: yahtzees review was pretty spot on for me
BrowneePointz: the soundtrack is fine enough but how itā€™s used is missing a lil Mick Gordon zhuzh
Didero: Hence why I don't want children :p
otakubox0: John Doom
TXC2: big if true Ben
protojman: and then Jon was a zombie
GapFiller: Flynn Taggart in the comix if they count
matthaus_c: like learning Roman Reigns' name is Joe
Uzumaki15: Nah dawg we all 'bout that toxic masculinity Kappa
protojman: wait what is this? a song? i'm thinking the copypasta
thesimbiote: Jon Doom really lost on the name gacha
TXC2: matthaus_c a Samoan named joe
BrowneePointz: be kind to your kids. to quote another project James Corden ruined, ā€œcareful the things you say, children will listenā€
protojman: :O
Gaelan_Maestro: its been confirmed that doom guy and commander keen are related
matthaus_c: @TXC2 yep :p if you wrote this in fiction it would be too hamfisted
TXC2: matthaus_c indeed
Didero: @Gaelan_Maestro Wasn't that Commander Keen and the dude from the original Wolfenstein?
Gaelan_Maestro: them too
Didero: @Gaelan_Maestro Oh, didn't know that, interesting!
Didero: That itch is why I'm playing Elden Ring again
BrowneePointz: itā€™s been a long time since a good action adventure platformer
thesimbiote: This definitely feels like a spiritual successor to Alice: Madness Returns
Coloneljesus: is it as long as P5?
couchboyj: Metaphor is a 5 star banger
lamina5432: I've been playing some unicorn overlord another Atlus
BrowneePointz: itā€™s persona with a not boring high school setting
gualdhar: Metaphor moving to adult-themed stories instead of high schoolers was a fantastic move
GapFiller: speaking of MegaTen P4 Remake anyone
TehAmelie: a simplified version of Persona? is it called Character?
BrowneePointz: which means itā€™s already better
GapFiller: this is more of a Kathleen topic admittedly
dolphgrim: I feel like I am late to this party, but I have been loving Expedition 33...
Gaelan_Maestro: @Didero the developers where friends and thought it was silly, so they made them all relted
BrowneePointz: atlus always has some bang on dub
Didero: @Gaelan_Maestro The best reason for it, "because it seemed funny at the time"
dolphgrim: I don't play a lot of games. I just watch Let's Nope. šŸ˜‹
GapFiller: nalvThink assuming theres any substance to this P4 Remake thing guess thats two potential Kathleen PiF games at some point
Gaelan_Maestro: yuuuuuuup
Didero: Just don't run and ask them :p
BrowneePointz: speaking of Action Adventure platformers youā€™ve REALLY gotta play Psychonauts 2. not often a cult hit gets a sequel decades later that is not only GOOD but is honestly BETTER
dolphgrim: PROFESSIONAL GAMING
TehAmelie: woo magic pixels
thesimbiote: Me when my shadow beast timer goes off
Didero: I just really don't like the food-themed level in Psychonauts 2, otherwise it's excellent
Coloneljesus: another 3D Rayman a la Hoodlum Havoc would be cool IMO
GapFiller: is this a case of having a job which involves playing lots of video games being a help or a hindrance Ben
lamina5432: bitcraft is doing a demo
lamina5432: a new mmo
dolphgrim: Incredible work! šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘
GasCityGaming: the 2D Tooka-Laylee is underrated imo
GasCityGaming: Yooka*
Didero: Also for Psychonauts 2, the story from the VR game takes place just before it and is pretty important ot know
Coloneljesus: Ben workin overtime :)
Pteraspidomorphi: If you stream more games like this I'm definitely interested
BrowneePointz: Also a big draw, Psychonauts 2 has very honest and important things to say about mental health and *nails it*
Coloneljesus: it's so funny how Psychonauts 2's story takes place like a few days after 1, even if it came out like 15 years later
GapFiller: Bunny being evil? who cdve have forseen
Coloneljesus: they even lampshade it
BrowneePointz: ah crap did miss the first Laurent scene
BrowneePointz: I did
GasCityGaming: *chef kiss* sound design
BrowneePointz: so What you think of the Were Owl design Ben?
lamina5432: new myths are always fun
Didero: She said it needs power
Coloneljesus: love underexplored or even original Mythos shit
dolphgrim: Crank it
brieandbacon: Were-owl, I thought it was a zom-beak
TXC2: damn Metal gear solid sized saw blade there :p
Invitare: how many wereowls would you have to see in a day before you'd find it notable?
GasCityGaming: -wow-el
BrowneePointz: nope
A_Dub888: Wereowl? There owl
dolphgrim: Now we crankin!
BrowneePointz: Rougarou comes from Loup Garou. basically Cajun Werewolves except they can be WAY different beasts than just wolves
GhostValv: you wood say that
matthaus_c: the owls are not what they seem
protojman: would it be weird if you saw 0 owls
GapFiller: lotta woods for em in BC tbf
lamina5432: he probably doesn't look up
dolphgrim: Ben's a were owl
Didero: I mean, I see quite a few jackdaws every day, and I still go "sweet, a jackdaw"
Bruceski: Bit less common down where I live, I hear them sometimes but almost never see them.
Uzumaki15: I don't see a lot of owls but I hear Great Horned Owl outside my house most nights
gualdhar: Look at Mr. Owl Magnet over there, better keep away for our safety
Shadowsoflife: UGH
TXC2: EAT THE RICH!
Didero: Layin' it on a bit thick
BrowneePointz: Never forget what Unions fought for
Thisbymaster: eat the rich
Uzumaki15: Captitalism *Jazz Hands*
dolphgrim: Eat the rich
matthaus_c: this writing should be cartoonishly overstated, not Exactly Real :p
GhostValv: I hear there's this device that helps with that. I think it's French...
kimmibeans: because they make the rules
BrowneePointz: comrade Ben
thesimbiote: A Doom Jazz soundtrack for a doom scrolling era
dolphgrim: Capitalism is a pyramid scheme
lamina5432: just talked to a guy from my previous place and they've gone through about a person a month since I've left
TXC2: oh the person RUNNING the company making money is fine, the person OWNING the company making more money? they can get fucked
Uzumaki15: Oh shit...
BrowneePointz: racism AND gilded age capitalism
TheAinMAP: lrrSPOOP
BrowneePointz: this song
GapFiller: Ghost Flowers!
BrowneePointz: *fucks*
Didero: Mad or pained
GapFiller: nalvThink hmm Hulk Owl
WiJohn: Howlk?
Didero: Was there supposed to be more song?
GhostValv: probably bugged
TXC2: I mean, dying TENDS to make music stop...
Didero: Seems like jumping off of buildings has downsides
dolphgrim: You made fun of the flowers
TehAmelie: maybe the music thought you'd make that climb faster
TehAmelie: ?
TXC2: Laraunt looks like dope MtG Card
matthaus_c: @TXC2 dragonhawk fate's tempest baybee
TehAmelie: such unlikely boss music
Didero: Can... can Crouton possess him?
TehAmelie: i wish it came with a liberetto
TXC2: matthaus_c yeah, that's the one
Didero: Aw
Bruceski: The music stings
BrowneePointz: the sound design
BrowneePointz: in this boss fight
BrowneePointz: Fucks
BrowneePointz: with a Capital F
Coloneljesus: took some hints from Hifi Rush it feels like
ballesta25: Many birds do, although not owls - they do pellets
BrowneePointz: Chat
BrowneePointz: owls shit too
BrowneePointz: pellets are only the indigestible bits
Didero: After this PiF I'm definitely buying the soundtrack
a_Weakling: For some reason I'm getting tim curry vibes in those yells
ballesta25: That children's book series lied to me?
matthaus_c: @ballesta25 they usually do
BrowneePointz: Also the fact that the song is Laurent singing to us
Omnipotrevor: First were-owl I've seen since Owl House, and they're always cool
zimmercj: I love games where the OST goes this hard
BrowneePointz: I LOVE E33ā€™s ost but this game BETTER fucking be in the running for best soundtrack or Iā€™ll be BIG mad
ShaneLeeAtk: Digging his look
BrowneePointz: also again another black character with UNIQUE face structure AND hair. THAT is how you do diversity Game Devs
Aceviru: too real
Bruceski: Dang, this line delivery
dolphgrim: lrrFRUMP
BrowneePointz: also Ben
BrowneePointz: Ahmed Best voice directed this
BrowneePointz: jar jar him damn self
WiJohn: Flying mount, get!
Didero: So he IS a mount
GapFiller: on a scale of zero to Stalker Ben how broken we talkin here
BrowneePointz: oh yea something broke my game had none of these lil bugs lol
GapFiller: yeh Alexs PiF got kinda sticky in places
Coloneljesus: is stalker worse than cyberpunk at launch?
BrowneePointz: stalker is endearingly buggy
Didero: Oh nice, I got some fluids to swap
RayFK: EARLY
Aceviru: kitty
RayFK: OKAY
matthaus_c: LMAO
RayFK: Good job Gus
Coloneljesus: kbity
TXC2: !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!)
RayFK: You absolute dumbass
GapFiller: nalvLUL
Aceviru: oh no
matthaus_c: Gus is a Whole Moods
gualdhar: someone didnt win the brain cell lottery today
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/GeniusCleverKiwiChefFrank-AD9FeleuFu3d1K8U
TXC2: oh gus, sweet sweet Gus
GapFiller: bravo Gus
TehAmelie: did he get excited for walkies or something?
BrowneePointz: what did I miss?
thesimbiote: OMG the baby camden30MydeiCry
Uzumaki15: He's an orange cat, head empty, smooth brain
GapFiller: BrowneePointz Gus fell off the desk
JKBalch: Lovable orange cat behavior
WiJohn: I have not seen him in a moment, he looks so big and healthy!
TXC2: BrowneePointz Gus jumped up and missed
gualdhar: @BrowneePointz a cat-astrophe
kimmibeans: Gus has gotten so big! I think this is the first time I've seen him since you got him
TXC2: !break
LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to. Don't forget to wash your hands!
GasCityGaming: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/FlirtyBlindingPoxFunRun-x6CGbTbXahDpfFNS
BrowneePointz: good old biff
matthaus_c: Gus jumped at Potemkin
WiJohn: That's that catlike grace you're always hearing about
TXC2: the timing on that is fantastic
TehAmelie: i've seen cats fumble jumps, but never a basic vault
A_Dub888: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/TardyIronicMomGivePLZ-cQ1c-iOtZESBHdT_
Didero: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/PunchyHelpfulSpaghettiRaccAttack-XmlLhNrPgdqO46Wc
matthaus_c: Gus is the kinda guy to say "parkour" when he parkours
TXC2: and we're back
gualdhar: we cocaine now?
YourMomPlaysGamesYMPG: so my LGS told me to reach out with questions to LRR about their fundraising stuff. Do they have a discord or something?
TXC2: gualdhar I also thought cocaine :p
TXC2: !discord
LRRbot: LRR has an official Discord server! And you don't even need to be subbed or anything! You can join here: https://discord.gg/lrr
YourMomPlaysGamesYMPG: thank you!
Didero: Sweet
protojman: bahaha we call our Goose "Goosetopher"
GapFiller: TXC2 gualdhar maybe thats the real secret of the strands
protojman: dog named Goose*
Didero: And we thought we already unlocked all the movement skills
matthaus_c: @protojman that's SUCH A GOOD NAME
thesimbiote: God, I love the banjo
Didero: "Hey, don't fuckin' swear"
Didero: Names are hard
EvilBadman: @Didero This one is more of a set one, it doesn't happen much other than "ok, you're advancing for real now"
ShaneLeeAtk: My eldest daughter has a black cat named Goose and an orange boy named Duckie.
thesimbiote: We named our silly boy cat Savepoint
Didero: Do you still have a snake?
kimmibeans: One of my friends had a cat named Fried Rice
TehAmelie: cat names tend to evolve over time. i'm gonna guess it'll be Gustopheles by next year :3
thesimbiote: Noticed how many games use animals for Save Points, so it seemed like a natural fit for a cat who's so goofy
RocknGrohlNerd: All great cat names, chat !
TXC2: TehAmelie :D
Didero: That's a lot of snake
Didero: So do you still have enough room in your appartment for humans? :p
protojman: good ol triple ekans
RocknGrohlNerd: A Borb to round the party out
TXC2: surely Adam is the last pokemon? Kappa
matthaus_c: you're like the Throh
protojman: actually good point
BrowneePointz: Silicobra
TehAmelie: Miso sounds like a name for a gyrados
Didero: @TXC2 Sure, he could cosplay as a Machamp
Didero: I think I want an entire game that's just this kind of flying
TehAmelie: maybe she has yet to evolve
BrowneePointz: have you heard the good word
BrowneePointz: of Panzer Dragoon
TXC2: I miss flash games....
EvilBadman: "2025 had plenty of good remasters, and balloon fight"
GasCityGaming: :O
protojman: hot hot hot
Coloneljesus: Ben giveth
thesimbiote: YES, give us nerds a chance
BrowneePointz: youā€™d probably enjoy it. I was more a Breath of Fire kid
GapFiller: wake me when Ben plays Bahamut Lagoon Kappa
kumatsu: muh baby!
ShaneLeeAtk: The 12 year old in me is super excited for CronoTrigger.
otakubox0: the singular "die" was also great
TXC2: Shuffle cats1
EvilBadman: Seek out the DS or PS1 version of Chrono Trigger if ya do
thesimbiote: If you do decide to start home streaming again, do you have a time of day in mind yet?
Zael250: You had a great cast for Ransom Notes
GasCityGaming: I cried several times lol
Didero: Never show your emotions ever, and turn into a monster
thesimbiote: This sounds like Hazel's VA singing
BrowneePointz: I mean I teared up at just Benny
BrowneePointz: Benjy
BrowneePointz: damnit phone
TXC2: be a real man and keep your emotions inside until you turn into a giant bird or catfish
GasCityGaming: half bat, half owl, a bow....wait.... no
a_Weakling: Why can't we all just be were-red pandas?
thesimbiote: "Manning so hard I metamorphose"
BrowneePointz: Yes
GasCityGaming: It was Fine TM
TehAmelie: i saw it the other day, it's super good
kimmibeans: It was pretty solid
BrowneePointz: turning red was very very good
thesimbiote: Turning Red? Yeah it was good
Didero: I should rewatch that movie
Didero: Because I remember liking it but I also don't really recall the story
Didero: I thought AABB was the 'default' rhyming scheme, as it were
BrowneePointz: Turning Red might just be one of the best movies about generational trauma there is
TXC2: instead of ABAB rhyming ?
YourMomPlaysGamesYMPG: yesss
TehAmelie: the main character's friend group is like the Breakfast Club of our generation
thesimbiote: AABB feels like a madrigal or something more archaic
BrowneePointz: AABB often is ABAB is better AABBA is another
Didero: Oh, like that, I think I got confused
thesimbiote: ABABC is pretty common these days
GasCityGaming: AABB feels very rudimentary, for lack of better word 'childish'?
ShaneLeeAtk: AABBA is getting into sonet territory.
a_Weakling: Now I just want to listen to Abba
BrowneePointz: and then if you get into enjambment and Rondo things get weird let
dolphgrim: It's trying to communicate a message without being too abstract. Aka contemporary Christian worship music. šŸ˜¬
Didero: Yeah, there's big white stripes
zimmercj: The OST is on Apple Music. Iā€™m definitely adding most of the songs to my driving playlist
thesimbiote: I think the devs might have gone with the simpler scheme to help folks process the lyrics more easily? But in that case, captions would have been nice
Coloneljesus: is AABB more common in rap?
TehAmelie: i hear the big problem for doing anything with rhyming schemes is English has run out of rhyming words
Didero: Song subtitles should absolutely be added, yeah
BrowneePointz: aabb is just very common period
Didero: I can imagine it's hard to add, because there could be singing and talking at the same time
BrowneePointz: but aabb done bad just sounds like a Beastie Boys riff on
thesimbiote: Audio processing issues are one of the most common forms of learning disability, too
matthaus_c: giant woman...
Didero: Grounded is not good for people with fear of bugs
thesimbiote: Those spiders are horrifying, and I'm not arachnophobic
GasCityGaming: little floaty balls
Riiiiiiis: that's me with snakes, I can wake up with cold sweat in the middle of the night because i've been dreaming about snakes
Didero: Uncanny Valley arachnophobe mode
BrowneePointz: spiders to crabs?
gualdhar: I liked Satisfactory, turned spiders into jpgs of cats
thesimbiote: Awwww, lil slimes are so cute
GasCityGaming: House flipper sim turns cockroaches you have to vacuum up into broken glass shards
ShaneLeeAtk: Is it Lethal Company that turns them into the word SPIDER?
Didero: I want a game where spiders are friends, not enemies. People dislike insects enough already
BrowneePointz: Burrowers/Borrowers mention!
Invitare: XP was better
BrowneePointz: Arriety is fine but the OG Borrowers movie is SO good
BrowneePointz: wild how they did that movie in the 90s
Coloneljesus: oh no
matthaus_c: uh oh
GasCityGaming: uh oh
TXC2: bad move Ulmer :p
matthaus_c: oh ffs
gualdhar: oh no
matthaus_c: it's AI isn't it
GasCityGaming: ugh...
A_Dub888: uh oh
BrowneePointz: oh the fucking Ghibli ai shit
thesimbiote: Boo hiss
GapFiller: jlrrFacepalm
gualdhar: laaaaaaazy
TehAmelie: exciting to get sued by Studio Ghibli i guess
lamina5432: immediately block
matthaus_c: people subscribe to Patreons of AI prompters
BrowneePointz: ACTUAL HILLBILLY!!!!
TXC2: there are "people" who watermark their "Ai" slop, it's wild
thesimbiote: It's so gross that Miyazaki is on record as HATING genAI, and folks who claim to be fans are proudly making those awful images with impunity
ShaneLeeAtk: This guy looks like a park character from the old Dogpatch USA amusement park days.
BrowneePointz: well Shane
TehAmelie: cartoon villains and AI artists, the only ones who sign their crime scenes
BrowneePointz: lil abner and the rest of dogpatch were hillbillies
matthaus_c: is Itchy on Yelp
Didero: Yeah, itchy, give a tour for exposure
ShaneLeeAtk: Oh, I know... I was terrified of the Schmoo.
gualdhar: fire hot
TXC2: "take credit?" "I take American express or exact change"
BrowneePointz: but yea I love that weā€™re in the Appalachian foothills with an ACTUAL hillbilly, at a hillbilly holler
BrowneePointz: lil bits of Americana that donā€™t get shown in media often
ShaneLeeAtk: So true. And a family reunion for parts of my family. :D
TXC2: WHAT?!
matthaus_c: one of my uni professors was getting in on that kind of shit :)
matthaus_c: felt great
ShaneLeeAtk: How to prompts into Midjourney? Wow...
GapFiller: just wait the real time for disappointment will be when LRR AI fanart starts showing up
TXC2: teach what? how to type out "2b with big fat tits" ?! :p
thesimbiote: That's almost as sad as learning that 54% of Americans are functionally illiterate camden30AventurineTired
TehAmelie: the latest estimation puts the amount OpenAI owes authors for using their books at over $50,000 per title. hard to guess how much the art thieves owe. . .
Ivannorr: Can't wait for next week's episode of Can't prompt Horses Club!
kumatsu: send them back a vid of running it through a paper shredder straight into the garbage :P
BrowneePointz: cw
TehAmelie: there was a series of AI generated crapshot scripts. ah, back when it was funny
TXC2: ow, right on the neck too, OW!
gualdhar: damn, I was "working hard" on that Final Fantasy LRR portrait on Dall-E
thesimbiote: I've seen so many prompts for super-kinky art, and they also include John Singer-Sargent in the prompt as a style basis. Why?? Leave him out of this shit
BrowneePointz: hitting your kid with a switch is already fucked
BrowneePointz: but hitting them in the HEAD!?
TXC2: we live in a society Kappa
ShaneLeeAtk: I was raised on switches like that, but NEVER the head.
BrowneePointz: Generative AI/LLM trained on otherā€™s work is vile
Didero: I'm not sure you'd need AI for that, just text to speech and a built-in dictionary
thesimbiote: Every moment, every hobby, every interaction must be commodified, and western society tends to devalue the act of crafting and creating, the only "value" is in the product
Didero: It's just that 'AI' is starting to mean 'computer does thing' nowadays, so everybody calls everything 'AI'
BrowneePointz: AI should not be getting warped into a boogeyman because of a bunch of plagiarizing techbros that want a quick buck while boiling the planet
thesimbiote: But to be fair, large language models are revolutionizing differential diagnosis in medicine
GasCityGaming: I worked in learning and development and a LOT of brands are calling things 'AI' that aren't. LG for example has a feature in their washing machines that measures the amount of water used based on the weight of the load, they call it an 'AI' feature. It's been around for a LONG time!
Riiiiiiis: It's definitely useful, just not for everything everywhere :-/
dolphgrim: I think AI is okay, but it needs to show its work. šŸ‘æ
GapFiller: this the game? https://coa.nvsgames.com/
TXC2: GasCityGaming they're doing that to get investor interest
kimmibeans: The thing is, gen AI can't replace creativity, because it by definition cannot create anything new; everything it does is derivative, it has no new ideas
RocknGrohlNerd: AI should be used for data, not art
BrowneePointz: oh Summonerā€™s War
gualdhar: uuuuuuuugh
BrowneePointz: fross
BrowneePointz: gross*
GasCityGaming: @TXC2 oh absolutely, cause investors *think* it's what people want
kdefinition: Gross
lamina5432: "energy systems suck" a genshin player
kdefinition: Paying for playtime is always a hard no.
thesimbiote: I've pared down to one main gacha game, which is Love & Deepspace, because hot men
southern_woodsman: Oh no. I think I see where this is going
frameshifty: I totally do, which is why I never play any game with daily login bonuses
TehAmelie: if i want to pay to skip through the game i guess that's a failure of the game
lamina5432: I don't spend on them either just the daily grind traps me
thesimbiote: I've gotten pretty good at not letting energy systems dictate my schedule
kdefinition: I'm of the opinion that aesthetics are an important part of gameplay, so cosmetics, especially gatcha based, are also gross
matthaus_c: we used to have very negative reactions to /any/ microtransactions in games. apparently not negative enough
TehAmelie: i just got into FFX, and the Steam version has cheats you turn on just by pressing the F keys. it's dangerous
TXC2: and then there's me who plays Arena every day :p
BrowneePointz: Sheriff Thibodeaux
BrowneePointz: cannot think of a more Louisiana name
GasCityGaming: @TXC2 oh hey, that reminds me, gotta do my dailies to complete the season pass to get all my alt arts :D
TehAmelie: should i skip past the 100 hours of fun combat that i got here for? oops i put my cup down on the F2 key, guess i did
BrowneePointz: Boudreaux and Thibodeaux
thesimbiote: All those Acadian names in the Southern Creole
A_Dub888: owner of the thibsdale thobodome?
kumatsu: I bought the Storybook Brawl starter pack about 2 weeks before they pivoted to crypto
matthaus_c: heartbreaker
TXC2: GasCityGaming for me it's I gotta fill up 0.3% of my vault so I can get my 400th wildcard :p
lamina5432: genshin itself is still hard to keep up but I propose Honkai star rail does it well that if you play a week a moth you can get new character's without spending any money
thesimbiote: I would still play Genshin for the story, because the lore is actually really interesting, but I haven't enjoyed any of the newest characters
Coloneljesus: wuthering waves ya
thesimbiote: Zzz is the newest Hoyo game
gualdhar: wuthering waves?
BrowneePointz: wuthering waves different company
lamina5432: I play zzz, genshin and HSR which are all hoyo games
BrowneePointz: thatā€™s not Hoyo
matthaus_c: Heathcliff--
Invitare: just makes me think of Kate Bush
thesimbiote: Wuthering Waves didn't grab me, but ZZZ and HSR are very fun
BrowneePointz: WW is NOT hoyo
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: WutheringWaves is some MMO Guild type name
thesimbiote: Wuthering Waves is Kuro Games
lamina5432: wuthering waves is a different company that using a similar sytstem
kdefinition: I remember when unlocking characters was just something you could do in games. I will be an intolerable old man about this fact.
otakubox0: Some of them aren't Hoyo but definitely very "copy my homework but make it look different"
Didero: A rhyming scheme of A
couchboyj: Wuthering Waves is a different company
BrowneePointz: in the AYURR AYURR
matthaus_c: mommy?
GapFiller: nalvThink got a worryingly in depth knowledge of these kinda HoYo and adjacent games despite never having played any of em entirely due to keeping up w/ loads of insta cosplayers
GasCityGaming: Is WW good?
frameshifty: put your hands in the ayer if you's a true playyer
BrowneePointz: the cluckssic
thesimbiote: Hoyoverse global games are currently Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin, HSR, and ZZZ, and they're working on a PokƩmon-like game featuring fan favorite characters
GhostValv: does chicken stock make sound?
dougma subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 112 months!
dougma: o/ boop
LRRbot: lrrSPOT Thanks for subscribing, dougma! (Today's storm count: 6)
GapFiller: turns out those games are pretty big in that scene
TXC2: ah yes the stock chicken sound effect (pot boils) Kappa
BrowneePointz: chat if a Chicken is into seeing his Hen fool around with other Roosters does that make him a Cluckold?
thesimbiote: @browneepointz that's fowl
GapFiller: lrrHORN lrrHORN lrrHORN literal chicken dinner winner
TXC2: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: LRRMtG (Some form of 1-2 LoadingReadyRun crew members play some form of digital Magic: The Gathering. Game: Magic: The Gathering) at Thu 02:00 PM PDT (1:31 from now).
gualdhar: nothing at 1PM
TXC2: at 2 yes
kimmibeans: LRR MTG is at 2
matthaus_c: who up tugging they lrrm
GasCityGaming: not sure if you've looked up how many chapters the game has yet?
TXC2: I am patiently waiting to kill people in Brawl with Lightning
GasCityGaming: probably yeah
Didero: Depends on how often Gus falls off things :p
thesimbiote: The art is so good. It's been a dream of mine too eventually illustrate an MTG card, and I get so excited for new art
lamina5432: they need to get another printing out of with a current play booster box sitting at 170$
matthaus_c: FF being a Standard release is honestly coming as such a relief. the cards so far seem well balanced and unlikely to cause another Bowmasters / One Ring sitch
Didero: Did Itchy's guilt create Molly?
gualdhar: bah boop?
Xed_Regulus: I did
GasCityGaming: o/
matthaus_c: fuck
lamina5432: it was at 145$ before spoilers then it shot up.
kdefinition: yo
frameshifty: me, lol
dumbo3k: almost did, except I realized my discord was off
BrowneePointz: $750 collector boxes for a STANDARD SET is fucking ridiculous
TehAmelie: i did look over
LidofLoathing: you got me
A_Dub888: #blamefunko
TXC2: matthaus_c I'd say they seem underpowered compared to recent sets
couchboyj: They'll print the set into the ground. Prices will go down. Not enough, but down.
TXC2: oh I mean compared to bloomburrow and such :p
gualdhar: there's still a few cards that are poised to upset standard
matthaus_c: @TXC2 I'm holding off on judgment until I see them played, but I do have that impression, and it feels good to see
A_Dub888: Hear that Tolkien? You were messed up
BrowneePointz: it also feels they were gunshy after LotR and toned it down even from it being a standard set
TXC2: matthaus_c fair
TehAmelie: can't believe it's taken Wizards this long to make a sequel to Excalibur
GasCityGaming: suite Pioneer chaos draft on Arena lately :)
couchboyj: Like 2-4 cards in LotR are messed up, to be fair. Eldraine was just as bad imo and it was a standard set.
A_Dub888: I expect a report by EOD ASAP BYOB LRRMTG
TXC2: smoke is mom, calling it now
dolphgrim: It's the smog monster from ferngully
Faytheless: The smoke was the friends we made along the way
Didero: Didn't we encounter Roux near the start of the game?
BrowneePointz: we saw roux at the beginning when we get our powers. the one with the caravan
Riiiiiiis: I love the TLA's and ETLA's
gualdhar: there are lots of roux, they're good for soups
matthaus_c: AAAA is the rhyming structure that speaks to me
thesimbiote: Very briefly
A_Dub888: and totally on purpose (I think they bought it)
BrowneePointz: As far as we know, he is not the smoke guy, but he talked when he first appeared
thesimbiote: AAAAAAH is the rhyme scheme for this cruddy timeline
TXC2: very Men in black this bit of music
Didero: I remembed the name Roux because he's voiced by Ahmed 'Jar Jar Binks' Best, apparently
BrowneePointz: Because when he shows up with his caravan, he kinda looks led like a traveling street magician
BrowneePointz: looked*
BrowneePointz: Also, yes, Roux is voiced by Jar Jar
Bruceski: Pretty sure Elfman, yeah
BrowneePointz: He also voiced directed this game
matthaus_c: damn I need to take some time off an afternoon and just listen to Oingo Boingo albums
southern_woodsman: Wait, if Molly is helping the abused kids, what if she took the mom since she's a social worker and was trying to help the kids too?
thesimbiote: @southern_woodsman perhaps a successor?
BrowneePointz: one of my old ren fair buds was a true blue Appalachian hillbilly and he also could just manifest cigarettes
southern_woodsman: @thesimbiote that would actually fit in with the themes of the game the more I think about it
BrowneePointz: he made some damn good peach pie moonshine though
GasCityGaming: In my playthrough Itchy was invisible during this scene but the cigarette was there
TehAmelie: maybe he's actually a manifestation of the cigarette
BrowneePointz: I find it wild I played this the day it dropped and had none of these bugs
thesimbiote: @southern_woodsman it's been cool to see so many stories, in the last ten years or so, touch up on themes of generational trauma vs succession and the burdens we put on younger generations
TXC2: bugs are random
MWGNZ: or the testers found the bugs but management shipped things anyway
Didero: Console games aren't necessarily more bug-free
brieandbacon: "It works fine on my machine"
Didero: Plus, with PC games, fans can make bugfixing mods
Bruceski: Beta tester walks into a bar, orders a beer. Orders two beers, orders pi beers, orders a million beers, orders negative root three beers, orders abc beers, leaves. Player walks in, asks to use the bathroom, bar bursts into flames.
thesimbiote: I had a crazy bug with my old computer and The Sims 3. My game would only recognize the cheat commands from Sims 2, despite them purportedly not being coded into TS3
TehAmelie: in the early days of computers, fixing bugs just meant removing the crickets from the machine

Didero: Thanks!
TXC2: that, and that whole great depression thing :p
sephsays: I'm really looking forward to when Hazel works out that Molly's basically some kinda supernatural social worker. Poor Molly.
zimmercj: I personally come from a long line of people that should have not had kids.
thesimbiote: I used to work at a state home for abused and abandoned children. The stories haunt you for life
BrowneePointz: wait ben Ope
BrowneePointz: I think there was a second path that wrapped around the house
BrowneePointz: Oh yep, you can see the health upgrade down there
The_Color_Twelve: just never get hit
Didero: Elden Ring boss door
BrowneePointz: good old fashioned adventure platformers with missable upgrades
TXC2: time for a show
Didero: This Molly is a great puppeteer
TXC2: who built these sets....and when?

The_Color_Twelve: a tad dense?
BrowneePointz: sheā€™s VERY Studio Laika coded
Didero: Hazel is blinded by missing her mom, yeah
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: propelled by emotion is underselling it a bit
kumatsu: oh, I love Little Lamplight
BrowneePointz: like if you told me Huggin Molly was in Pinocchio Del Toro I would believe you
TXC2: propelled by emotion like a B-52 :p
Didero: Gettin' juggled by the shrubbery
TehAmelie: to be fair that was some badass cactuses

TehAmelie: Hazel
BrowneePointz: itā€™s a gift from grandma
southern_woodsman: Calling it now, Molly is the one "outside the system" that Lacey was working with
TXC2: SAVED!
TheAinMAP: Gaming.
protojman: i thought maybe the mom became molly or...something. i think yall are more on the money
BrowneePointz: it could be that Mom is actually where we get our Weaver lineage from and while she couldnā€™t use the powers herself managed to have some ability to pee through the veil
BrowneePointz: peer*
protojman: ^
BrowneePointz: she did not pee through anything
GasCityGaming: we don't know that she didn't
Didero: Seems like a good place, yeah
BrowneePointz: If you donā€™t stop here, youā€™re gonna be stuck in a long sequence
