Didero: There's still BGC music playing
thesimbiote: Hello!! Good morning!!
Didero: Not sure if that's intentional
TheAinMAP: "Why are talking to not-me?" - Gus
Lysander_salamander: I forgot how cool the intro video was
TXC2 comes rushing
TXC2: Hello everybody!
GapFiller: oh on CtS AND the Elden Ring boanas stream Ben
Didero:
Hello TXC2 welcome 
TXC2: hi Didero
Earthenone:
i thought the reckoning was when you decided to get hit with a beanbag in the beanbag and eat hot sauce this weekend 
Lysander_salamander:
Lysander_salamander: kitty!
GapFiller: going into the office for any of that Ben or is it this office all day for you
lightfut: Look, choices were made
thesimbiote: You feeling okay at that?
TXC2:
poor sweet Adam on hot ones 
Darkstorm257: Loved watching the hot ones bit though, can't get enough of you three just chatting
Camthelion:
Ben: 
Didero: My solution to that is not getting hit in the nuts
thesimbiote: Glad to hear it
beowuuf: @Didero *fivehead*
Invitare: I think that was Adam's first Live too. He's been in pre-records and once on a drawing segment, but that was the first full appearance afaik
TXC2: yet another British panel show that LRR has stole....browwed from
Invitare: he proceeded to win everything lmao
lamina5432: twice
TXC2: "corncaine"
thesimbiote: I'm curious, did I send that fanart to the correct email? The LRR one? It popped up as being real, at least
couchboyj: Was an Adam heavy show, and he crushed it. Exactly what I mean by it, I leave up to you.
Invitare: I'm still waiting on LRR Does Countdown myself
TXC2: nothing new under sun
Didero:
"What if QI was funny?"
Earthenone:
hey as someone who dosent watch brittish pannel shows, G has come up with so many original ideas to me
lamina5432: as long as something is done well it doesn’t really matter. example expedition 33
w1gum: I'm just waiting for a LRR Taskmaster
beowuuf:
lateral podcast with tom scott is fun like that. lrr might be able to ... homage.... that one, too
Invitare: @w1gum They've done that
loufghyslaufey: LRL Encore!?
w1gum: @Invitare im so mad at myself for missing that
Earthenone: they are many askmasters
beowuuf: jason jason jason!
Invitare: Bartleby is the Taskmaster
adept_nekomancer: I think my favorite Live bit I've seen was "search for the walkie-talkies".
Bruceski: In terms of "best Taskmaster cast" Jason is trying too hard, but Lord that guy's antics
loufghyslaufey: Bartleby, the central DM/Anatg to... The Thun-LRR-BOLTS: a new LRR Series
loufghyslaufey: Coming soon to a branched timeline near you...
thesimbiote: Love when a game tutorial is mostly "Eh, don't worry about it"
TXC2: ooof
UltraVioletVodoo: solo is absolutely not balanced
Didero: How does it play solo?
Lysander_salamander: oh, that's bad manners of them
Lysander_salamander: I hope the community will improve, to help new players
fiftymcnasty: The game is so fun, I went full degen on it this weekend
fiftymcnasty: I finished the final boss yesterday
fiftymcnasty: just pug
fiftymcnasty: big ups to those randos
Didero:
Worst case we get a fun Thursday too
GapFiller: we that close to the ending eh
thesimbiote:
I've been amped for this since last time 
beowuuf: oh noes
lamina5432: proreder your lunch?
Earthenone: what are groceries if not a preordered lunch
Earthenone: !patreon
TXC2: !patreon
kimmibeans: But will the sandwich journey be as epic as on Friday Nights?
thesimbiote: Ask critters present and accounted for
kimmibeans: That's a crome
thesimbiote: *all
kimmibeans: *crime
GapFiller: this is the Moonbase equivalent of the last cookie in the jar innit
TXC2:
Crome is a crime yes 
loufghyslaufey: Hearing that is based, coming back from the grocers with my hickory smoked cuts <(=w=)>
kimmibeans: That reminds me that it is 1:30 here on the East Coast so I should grab something from my fridge for lunch
fiftymcnasty: that sounds good
thesimbiote: Damn, I miss cold cuts
lamina5432: just had a grilled ham and munster cheese
loufghyslaufey: With goat cuts, for a slice?
kimmibeans:
Yes! I played the entire game this weekend so that I can enjoy the stream and not be spoiled
loufghyslaufey: Neighbor Totoro!
quasi79fu: Yay Hugging MOlly
loufghyslaufey: Oh. Just waltz up to town I see
GDwarble: Are we talking Peter Pan Lost Boys, or, like, vampires?
TXC2: I put it too you that the vampire movie IS the peter pan lost boys, but vamp, and gay
Didero: That is a huge book
loufghyslaufey: Which vampire film?
UltraVioletVodoo: this is feeling like an alice in wonderland sitch
crashco17: Twilight
TXC2: loufghyslaufey the lost boys
adept_nekomancer: Past Ben left that as a problem for Present Ben.
Didero:
Reading Chat and running into exploding mushrooms
protojman: everything was fine until the giant crocodile nation attacked
kimmibeans: I mean, that sounds about right for the south
lightfut: I feel like these songs are, if not diagetic, at least native to the universe
crashco17: MAGCA make America giant crocodile again
quasi79fu: Two Toed tom was a reaal gaator tho..but not as big as he is in this game
thesimbiote: The news stories about Two-Toed Tom alone could feed the 24 hour news cycle heartily
TXC2: it's Mississippi, no one knows what's going on there
loufghyslaufey: I created a frog town that was fine with a docile Goose Hydra at one point, Ben.
EvilBadman: I think it's less "whisked away to a fanastical realm" and more "eyes opened up to the mysterious local"
kimmibeans: Why do you think Florida Man is a thing? The South is just used to weird shit
lightfut: Like there's people singing that two toed Tom bop around the fire
lamina5432: I would agree but old fae stories are a lot more terrifying in ways than you'd think
loufghyslaufey: Oh. Oh. Someone caught whiff of a random Crocodile picking on a random gator?
EvilBadman: Yeah, they're Grimm (rimshot)
TXC2: the disney-fied version
thesimbiote: Fairytales are incredibly fucked up
loufghyslaufey: That's not how I remember The Lies of P
Angnor33:
Jimminy Cricket is just Italian Marley from A Christmas Carol...
thesimbiote: Yeahhhh, many were meant to warn against the dreaded "other".
kimmibeans: I'll tell you from experience that if you look at Northern Italian folk art the original Pinoccio makes way more sense
EvilBadman:
Well you got Gamepass for a minute so you don't haveta buy stuff 
lightfut: Lol Ben has entered combat with... The Backlog
thetoastmonster: Half Life 3, obviously
SymphonySolstice: fairy tales are used as a way to scare your kids into behaving. "don't go wandering near the cave at night, because The Child Eater will eat you" when the child eater is a grizzly
UltraVioletVodoo: im not getting the new pokemon cause im not getting a switch 2
EvilBadman: I just knocked out Doom Dark Ages and am balancing Blue Prince and Expedition 33
loufghyslaufey: Though the source material would do the same thing as the western adapt, & then crank it higher up a "T"
TXC2: we need to revive the Beej's backlog stream, but with Ben
EvilBadman: How much do you like escape rooms?
kimmibeans: It's a VERY good game, but it's definitely not for everyone
thesimbiote: It's fun, but it's difficult to use for content, for sure
fiftymcnasty: Blue Prince is for people who like Myst
lamina5432: blue prince looks very cool but I'm not a puzzle game player so I'll enjoy watching it
LordZarano: Yeah there's a lot more death and mutilation in old versions of fairy tales
kimmibeans: Let
LidofLoathing: My impression of Blue Prince is that it's fun until you're spending every run looking for a particular combo of rooms that might not show up
EvilBadman: Oh god no, if you played BP not on stream, lol
Invitare: oh! Blue *Prince*. Not Blueprints
TXC2: yeah, chat'll do that
Invitare: that makes more sense
Didero:
Here's what I'd do to prevent backseating: ...
EvilBadman: @Invitare It's a homophone
lamina5432: I think that's normal the thirtieth turn left isn't bad but the 3,000th
thesimbiote: It's not fun when folks backseat. Can't blame you
kimmibeans: Let's put it this way, I had to pull out a notebook to take copious notes while playing and it filled me with joy. If taking notes does not fill you with joy, this game is not for you
TXC2: hmm, I should go to the circus....
Bruceski: I think early Blue Prince is great and it falls off later. Not as many "aha" moments when there's only one thing to do and one hidden obscure clue on how to do it
Didero:
@TXC2 I've played through the Meat Circus level in Psychonauts, that's enough Circus for me
TXC2: Didero fair
SymphonySolstice: beeg lady
quasi79fu: baanger song time
protojman: oooooh reminds me of wind waker
Didero: I think Molly is healing her somehow
Didero: The mom, I mean
GDwarble: Suddenly a Zelda boss crossed with FF14 shows up
thesimbiote: The scale of these boss fights is really fun
quasi79fu: HEreee we goooo
quasi79fu: MOlllly gonnna hug you sooo tighhhht
Andymonium: pretty sure this is Itchy singing?
thesimbiote: Sounds like it, @andymonium
TXC2: SAVED!
quasi79fu: MOllyy...MOllly...Ladyy in whiiiteee
Didero: It'd be nice of those health things regenerated over time
thesimbiote: When a run has great synergy in Blue Prince, you feel like a genius and a god, but if it's a bad run, you feel completely helpless
lamina5432: From what I've watched the blue prince community isn't even sure if they've finished the game yet?
EvilBadman: Well more puzzles or things not solved
quasi79fu: ye i not sure if i ompleted entire game or not
quasi79fu: MOllllyyy..mollly
lamina5432: theres just hints not involved in the solution of a puzzle
quasi79fu: muuuuchhh toooo tiiiiight
Didero: jazz hands
couchboyj: Sometimes, its nice when a video game just allows itself to be a video game.
EvilBadman: I'm at I know /what/ to do, I just need to either be lucky or stack the deck
thesimbiote: The game even starts by saying that it's possible to roll credits without actually finishing the story
quasi79fu: love this song sooo much
Andymonium: oh Hazel, kiddo ;-;
Didero: I've been replaying Elden Ring, and I like how that game doesn't really care to be consistent and understandable. There's just wolves falling from the sky because it seemed like a good idea at the time
Didero: Videogame as videogame
Andymonium: the humble Drop Wolves
quasi79fu: Can I have a hug from MOlly?
protojman: has two-toed tom's theme been running through anyone else's head over the past week? cuz it's been in mine
thesimbiote: @protojman it's quite an earworm
Didero: Would be fun to get a game where you play as Molly
quasi79fu: Rugarrrooou
Andymonium: loup garou?
kimmibeans: The Rougarou
Andymonium: no y'all right, rougarou
Didero: Oh yeah, that one was cool
kimmibeans: Two-toed Tom has been stuck in my head since last night
quasi79fu: Benjys song...two toed toms song and HUgging mollly are my favorites then Rugarouuus
Didero: I'm waiting for this PiF to finish before I'll listen to the soundtrack, but I'm looking forward to it
EvilBadman: Stend?
beowuuf: @Didero afraid of spoiler titled songs?
Didero: @beowuuf And spoiler song contents, yeah
thesimbiote: Benjy gets stuck in my head the absolute worst. Something in the chord progression hooks in my brain
beowuuf: @Didero fair
Andymonium: I love how these little memory bits with Lacey feel a little like plays, and Molly's tried to communicate what happened with like a puppet show? idk feels neat
kimmibeans: Magic
thesimbiote: Awww, Molly is so endearing
quasi79fu: song tone cange
quasi79fu: you hear it
Didero: "I'm sorry for spending the last 20 minutes wailing on you!"
Invitare: in your defence she did have a weird, red corrupted growth on her shoulder
quasi79fu: love how they change the song in this part
couchboyj: Its not the protagonist's fault aint no one explained shit to her
adept_nekomancer: "Maybe put up some 'cryptid medical clinic' signs around your boss arena to avoid misundertandings?"
thesimbiote: What kind of edible arrangement do you send to apologize in this scenario?
Didero: On the plus show, her being mute made her great at puppet shows
Didero: *plus side
TXC2: yeah this is how people get dark sided
Andymonium: ^
Uzumaki15: Called this, it was all a setup for Bunny to get her kid back
thesimbiote:
Nooooo 
kimmibeans: Hurt people hurt people
beowuuf: oooooh
TheAinMAP: Dang.
TXC2: fucking coloniser mindset
beowuuf: anyway, good game, see you next pif
TheAinMAP:
quasi79fu: Gooo croutooon lol
thesimbiote: Crouton is a very good boi
lamina5432: would have made adam happy
kimmibeans: The scene after this is what made me fall in love with Crouton
quasi79fu: Rouuux
Andymonium: The Best Boi™
TXC2: our sweet boi
southern_woodsman: Pretty sure Roux is just the Shadowman
kimmibeans:
I love Crouton's little cape
thesimbiote:
Him lil face 
beowuuf: huggin' roux
TheAinMAP:
quasi79fu: I love catfish
Andymonium: one does not simply...
GasCityGaming: Hey chat, sorry i'm late, pretty sure I nailed a job interview though, they want me to meet with the department director in 2 days (VERY quick turn around for corporate stuff!)
TXC2: GasCityGaming heck yeah buddy
thesimbiote: @gascitygaming congratulations!!
Andymonium: woo!!
beowuuf:
beowuuf: networked with an international remit
GasCityGaming:
there are a LOT of transferrable skills that you have! So don't worry
EvilBadman: Video production, set construction and dressing, project management. You got plenty of skills tangible to folks who don't know what "streaming" is.
Didero: Plus, more and more people know what streaming is
thesimbiote: It's in the zeitgeist, yeah
GasCityGaming: my grandma knows what it is cause I do it once in a while lol
GasCityGaming: she's 86
TXC2:
timing puzzle coming me thinks
fiftymcnasty: Internet Buster
thesimbiote: Essentially
kimmibeans: All my grandparents died before I finished school, so I never had to explain my job... then again I'm a college professor so it wouldn't have been that hard
Didero: The entrance and the exit might not be the same
MWGNZ: swamp has a one way system
kimmibeans: Biology, specifically Microbiology but I also do Anatomy and Physiology and Genetics
Didero: Plus, he might be looking for an exit for humans too
Angnor33: Waterfall.
TXC2: bold presumption by chat that catfish remembers
TheAinMAP: I though he mentioned finding a "safe" way out.
Andymonium: @TXC2 no you're correct
kimmibeans: Would you mind telling my students I'm cool? lol
A_Dub888: Hi friends, I’ve been trying to get South of Midnight but I might’ve taken a wrong turn…
Didero: Like, Catfish being Kooshma?
TXC2: hello A_Dub888 welcome
Didero:
Eh, it's ok, Bunny'll probably kill him then too
Andymonium: XD
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!)
thetoastmonster: cheaper than Cameo!
Didero: Hey, that's slander about my favourite streaming troupe!
Didero: If Molly can heal others, maybe she can heal herself too
TXC2:
Graham's gonna have a "Chat" about that "mid tier"
thesimbiote: That's wild to consider
protojman: was definitely something i couldn't get past. but also there's no way i was entertaining enough.
MWGNZ: i think it's like 3 viewers puts you in the top 5%
GasCityGaming: Are you playing nightreign tomorrow?
Didero: It's also because of all y'all at LRR, because bad streamers wouldn't be this popular
TXC2: GasCityGaming yes, and it's today
GasCityGaming: oh dang!
ShaneLeeAtk: It is all our faults that Ben gets to play games all day. I am okay being at fault.
thesimbiote: Back when I used to stream weekly, I was doing better than I thought, then.
Pteraspidomorphi: Ben was very literal about "all day"
MWGNZ:
void crew
smoljigglybug: Hi Ben! Loving this playthrough, this game is super cool. I was watching the VOD for last time, and I have to know: You mentioned loving Hot Rod, and I NEED to know if you mean the little-known documentary about the Lansdowne Demolition Derby? Our roommate literally has relatives in it.
A_Dub888: gonna be rocking a Magic/Kameheha build like when you first played Elden Ring?
kimmibeans: Thank you Ben and everyone who clipped for me. This brought me immense amounts of joy
Didero:
Are you saying Crouton isn't doing a good enough job? 
Didero:
Ok good, stream saved
A_Dub888: Ben, YOU’RE awesome (and so are teachers)
Andymonium: I LOVE the stunlock potential in the 1v1 in this game
Thefluffiestguineapig: Damnit, I'm late. My classes ran over
TXC2: hello Thefluffiestguineapig welcome
GasCityGaming: there's a whole for the little guy somewhere......
BrowneePointz: hidden stigma core
Thefluffiestguineapig: How far in the story have we gotten?
smoljigglybug: I'm not sure if it's up online anywhere, but we sure can rip the DVD and get that to you somehow
BrowneePointz: very
GasCityGaming: 14 yeah, one is shorter
Thefluffiestguineapig: Right, I've seen all the previous episodes

lightfut: We have fucked around and now we're finding out
Andymonium: gotta get low to grow, y'know
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, saw that coming
BrowneePointz: but yea Hugging Molly is an interesting ghost tale.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Grandma sounds like my relatives
Andymonium: tortle!
GasCityGaming: Yuuuuup, big same
TXC2: turt!
ShaneLeeAtk: Bunny is a BBEG?! No...
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also I LOVE these sections
protojman: real.
TXC2: only one place to go when you're at the bottom
Andymonium: the Crouton sections give me such disneyland animatronics vibes
thesimbiote: Yeah, I learned a lot from the worst moments in my life
beowuuf: @TXC2 scrapping around?
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone who has contact with no one I am obliged to say i am genetically related to, I just shrug and say "yeah, sounds accurate"
Didero: That's jsut mean, putting mushrooms there
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Andymonium Or Bloomburrow
Andymonium: @Thefluffiestguineapig ooo yes
GasCityGaming: Petition for emo donal duck
BrowneePointz: irl some of her stories says she waits on the road to snatch children and hug them to death, and others she waits and hugs lost kids until they can be found cuz she lost hers
thesimbiote: It's pretty nice getting old and difficult to embarrass
kimmibeans: @GasCityGaming That happened in the new Ducktales
Thefluffiestguineapig: I have a sense of cringe about my past mistakes, does that count?
TXC2: !addquote (Ben) [now] Now I'm an adult with no sense of cringe.
LRRbot: New quote #9322: "Now I'm an adult with no sense of cringe." —Ben [2025-06-02]
Didero: Or both!
Andymonium: i aspire to take even a smidge as much joy in my job as crouton does getting yeeted across the way to go explode somewhere
thesimbiote: True. Crouton is an icon
kimmibeans: Crouton just wants to be helpful to his best friend
Andymonium: it's true
Didero: Not until Hazel develope her throwing arm a bit more

Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, does this mean that Bunny was trying to accumulate monster hearts?
Angnor33: "Don't trust grandma"
Didero: "Don't let your hurts consume you"?
Thefluffiestguineapig: And also sacrifice Hazel to maybe get her own weaver powers that I don't think she ever had?
thesimbiote: Generational trauma: how to avoid it. How to repair it...
TXC2:
the central theme is go to therapy
Andymonium: she took benji's heart, molly's heart and string, she had one of Laurent's feathers I think?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think she tried with both Two toed tom and Laurant
Didero: That treetrunk platform has to be there for a reason though...
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think Two Toed Tom was just a monstrous crocodile, not an actual monster
Thefluffiestguineapig: I suspect she killed a weaver to get the hooks
Thefluffiestguineapig: Which is why the spindle was hidden away
thesimbiote: @thefluffiestguineapig that makes sense
Andymonium: Yeet The Baby
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig oh 100%
Andymonium:
spo8n: she stole the magic powers instead of borrowing them?
Didero: Mah-owl-ia
Thefluffiestguineapig: You're adorable
Andymonium: new contender for Best Boi has arrived
quasi79fu: HOnnnneyyy
thesimbiote: What a precious friend
Thefluffiestguineapig: Are they best friends?????
quasi79fu: he is such a precious one
Didero:
Right 15 seconds ago
quasi79fu: lol he dont know how to be quiet
Didero: ben thats cheating
thesimbiote:
Hazel coaching Honey
protojman:
this game is delivering some themes and messages i'm needing
kimmibeans: I have hearing in both ears and I still needed help from the strands because of how twisty this map is
protojman: just like life!
thesimbiote: Same. I've had a nightmarish couple of weeks and this is helping
Thefluffiestguineapig: It also emphasizes that healing is hard
quasi79fu: hahahahahaha
TXC2: round and round it goes
Andymonium: @kimmibeans yah same -_- I could hear the giggling but I could never pin it down
GasCityGaming: I appreciate the language, you can't heal the stigma until you find and deal with the trauma.
Andymonium: ^
Jturbobanana: Those frames are all over the floor
Didero:
This scene is measured in seconds per frame
SymphonySolstice: ABC Always Blame Windows
Andymonium: overlay really said eff your frames
quasi79fu: luv honey
Andymonium: honey's design is So Good
Andymonium: (all the designs are so good)
Andymonium: yeeaaah, yeah
thesimbiote: I'm gonna have to sculpt some of these characters in polymer clay.
quasi79fu: yay Nap time
Didero: More games should have Nap Time
Thefluffiestguineapig: Same
lightfut: Adult nap time, yes
thesimbiote: Nap time is best time.
kimmibeans: Spain kind of already does that
TXC2: I feel like that have that in Greece also
kimmibeans: Yes, Siesta
quasi79fu: mermaid time
Thefluffiestguineapig: I feel like this is Adam's kind of game
Andymonium: new Merfolk just dropped
thesimbiote: Parts of the US are criminalizing public sleeping, and I'm Narcoleptic, which means I've slept in public frequently...
Thefluffiestguineapig: @thesimbiote Parts of the US already have, it's due to rich people being uncomfortable with poor people
Andymonium: yeah -_- it's The Worst
thesimbiote: @thefluffiestguineapig yeah 😔 It's awful for the unhoused, in particular.
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone who has lived in my car I have experience with this
Didero: Those are some fast-growing mushrooms
thesimbiote: I spent some time unhoused as a teenager, but the laws weren't as harsh back then
Greendrag13: doing some crowd control in pride month. Breaking out the Gay-O-E

TXC2: remember chat
TXC2: !quote 9010
LRRbot: Quote #9010: "It's pride month, fuck the cops." —TXC2 [2024-06-09]
thesimbiote: El Geebeetees are on the loose. Happy Pride, y'all
Didero: Can, but doesn't want to

LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, DeathWarrior555! (Today's storm count: 8)
Andymonium: also it's a little thing but i love how many incidental animals there are in a game that doesn't make you fight animals (well, not counting laurent)
lamina5432: it's the you can't step over the fence scenerio
TreeVor84: Nothing bad could possibly happen with Honey trusting us.
thesimbiote: You would ask Crouton to bend over a couple centimeters? So cruel
protojman: for real
TXC2:
so no STALKER for Ben then
Didero:
You want them to record new ones?
Andymonium: hard agree
illogicalEmu: Dog damage = player damage
fiftymcnasty: Time for more Last of Us: Dog fighting sim
EvilBadman: Yeah! Ben wants *new* dog effort sounds
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone that works in veterinary medicine it would be nice to not have to hear those noises outside of work
Andymonium: oof yeah
thesimbiote: I can't even watch my partner play Monster hunter anymore. It makes me really sad when the monsters limp back to their dens
Thefluffiestguineapig: @thesimbiote I just want to watch them be
Didero: I don't want to play Monster Hunter because I don't want to hunt monsters, leave 'em alone
Andymonium: XD
thesimbiote: @thefluffiestguineapig a Monster Hunter mainline entry where we can watch them frolick
Andymonium: is there a Pokemon Snap of Monster Hunter? I feel like that would rule
Didero:
Sure, keep telling yourself that
kimmibeans: I'm very fortunate that my PTSD triggers are *super* specific and really only pop up once a year
fiftymcnasty: Look I just need to harvest more parts for my fashion
TXC2: Monster nature documentary crew
Thefluffiestguineapig: Monster Hunter but you're sketching
A_Dub888: The Hunters Guild in Monster Hunter is more like animal control but the animals are giant lizards
A_Dub888: and are currently on a rampage
thesimbiote: I'm telling on myself, though, because if they didn't look so pained running away, I don't think it would bother me as much
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ah the victorian research method
Didero: oh gods she's looking for her baby, isn't she?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, is honey her baby?
Andymonium:
BrowneePointz: Honey Island Swamp Monster is based off the rw creature of the same name, also called Cajun Sasquatch

Didero: I thought Honey was the kid Mahelia was talking about, that grew vines?
quasi79fu: they did their research for this game and used as much actual folklore as possible from the south
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Didero A kid that she found randomly in the swamp
Didero: @Thefluffiestguineapig Huh, yeah, that makes sense. I hope so!
BrowneePointz: Altamaha-ha is a Georgian cryptid that is like a Siren with a sturgeon body and Dolphin flippers
thesimbiote: I've watched some Black content creators play this who had a lot of interesting thoughts on how this game balances Black joy without being too reliant on Black trauma for it's narrative weight.
Didero: bunnyrabbit!
thesimbiote: *its
Didero: Yeah, screw the trauma healing, it's all about the points!
quasi79fu: Even the Rougarou though slightly different is based on actual folklore..not every Rougarou has to be a werewolf
BrowneePointz: yep Haint comes from the Gullah people’s word for Haunt
BrowneePointz: Bottle Trees come from Hoodoo
quasi79fu: the only myth i cant quite place truly is that of Catfish in this game..though there are legnd of massive catfish from the south
thesimbiote: Hoodoo and Voodoo are so fascinating
kimmibeans: @BrowneePointz The bottle tree was the only one I couldn't figure out, but I knew it felt familiar
MWGNZ: was only half paying attention and heard Ben go 'i like crypt-' and thought that sentence was going to the bad place
BrowneePointz: Even Kooshma(cauchemar) is a West African malevolent spirit that when ported to the Creole peoples is like an evil spirit lady that causes nightmares and sleep paralysis(changed to a man in this game)
BrowneePointz: LOTS of stories of titanic catfish
Andymonium: yeah catfish and gators just getting HUGE leads to lots of legends XD
BrowneePointz: hell I live in Iowa and even WE have those cuz of the proximity to the Mississy
thesimbiote: I did a whole semester in college on Syncratized Southern religions
BrowneePointz: Mississippi*
kimmibeans: @thesimbiote That's really cool
thesimbiote: @kimmibeans it was so fun
MWGNZ:
@BrowneePointz i figured Mississy was a regional nickname for the river 
quasi79fu: Mammma will be there in the morrrninnnng
Andymonium: uggggh this SONG, i'm at the office, i can't be cryin right now
BrowneePointz: no autocomplete made me a fool @mwgnz
MWGNZ: @BrowneePointz guess the river just got a new nickname then
Didero: Oh, that's amazing
thesimbiote: Amazing addition to accessibility
kimmibeans: It doesn't actually skip the sections, but it makes them stupid easy (in a good way)
MWGNZ: thats a solid feature
MWGNZ: other games please steal it
kimmibeans: Like, each enemy is taken out with only a couple of hits
kimmibeans: I had to turn it on for one of the fights because it was driving me nuts
thesimbiote: One of my oldest friends has a limb difference which makes playing games really painful, but she still enjoys the interactivity of choosing dialog, etc
Didero: Was this also the game that lets you skip bossfights alltogether?
BrowneePointz: I do hope they get a sequel, and get to refine the combat
Andymonium: @Didero I think so, yeah
Didero:
Of course not, you'r a pro gamer, Ben
thesimbiote: I think this game does allow you to skip bosses, yeah
BrowneePointz: I don’t think Grandma is THAT old
Didero: Maybe he moved to Canada?
thesimbiote: The way the other characters say "Flood Waters", like a proper noun, and Bunny's surname is Flood
BrowneePointz: if Mahalia was pre civil war that’s 1860 or older
TeodorantZMX: this song is dank
quasi79fu: Maaaammmma willl be theree in the morrrrningg
Andymonium: this is my favorite song and in a game with fantastic music it's not particularly close
Didero: False Stitcher could be Bunny, yeah
Didero: Also 'Bunny' is a weird name for a person
BrowneePointz: I think Bunny is A False Stitcher
kimmibeans: @Didero Trey was born in 1977, and this canonically takes place in 2018 (the college catalog is for the 2018-2019 academic year), so assuming bunny was about 25 when Trey was born, then she would be roughly 66.
thesimbiote: Bunny wrote in her journal about trying to use the Spindles, but they wouldn't sing for her
BrowneePointz: but not the one Mahalia is talking about
Didero: Moana has some excellent music, yeah
EvilBadman: there's such a great power in communal song
kimmibeans: @Didero It's a common nickname for Barbara iirc
Andymonium: @EvilBadman this this this
SymphonySolstice: saw that movie in theaters twice and the opening gave me chills both times
Jturbobanana: Big circle of life fan too, then?
thesimbiote: That type of piece is known in Western choral music as a Tocatta
Didero: @kimmibeans Oh, I didn't know that, thanks
quasi79fu: hahahahaha
EvilBadman: Whenever we do shatnies at Desert Bus, god just kills me
EvilBadman: shanties*
GasCityGaming: @EvilBadman big same
Didero: Paul could easily be a music streamer, yeah
BrowneePointz: communal song is our heritage as humans. we’ve been doing it for millennia
TXC2: still waiting for Paul to put out an album
Didero: Ooh, weekly Paul Sings stream
BrowneePointz: I’m boohoo you slave owning shithead
BrowneePointz: oh*
EvilBadman: uppity is such a loaded adjective
Andymonium: maybe it's from growing up down here but i have a visceral reaction to anyone using the word "uppity"
thesimbiote: @browneepointz that's what I tell people who say they have no talent in art or music. Creative expression is one of the most fundamental human drives, since we've had voices and fingers and clay. Art is human
Didero: I should start practising piano again...
BrowneePointz: I have been performing music since I was 9. that’s 24 years and anyone can be taught to sing at the very minimum
BrowneePointz: unless they have actual medical tone deafness
GapFiller: yr played the cello Ben?
SymphonySolstice: I wanted to play drums, but my mom was a nightshift nurse so there was no way
thesimbiote: I had to leave the opera due to illness, but I still try to sing at home
Didero: A 'real' drumkit might be too loud in an appartment, but there are digital drum sets that might come close
fiftymcnasty: should have picked up the trombone or sax
A_Dub888: Ben don’t want to work, he just wanna bang on he drum all day
incslayer: !next
Didero:
With all your ample free time
thesimbiote: Digital drumkits have come a looooooong way. They're practically silent now
MWGNZ: rock band drum kit hooked up as a midi controller
BrowneePointz: my mom noticed I liked singing to myself/along to the radio and pushed me into it probably as a way to socialize a very introverted awkward kid
GDwarble: That's a really fun respawn animation
BrowneePointz: and then I took to it like a fish to water
BrowneePointz: imagine they announce a new one at SGF Friday
Didero: I'm glad I'm pretty good at whistling, that way you always have an instrument with you
thesimbiote: I would love a Rock Band revival
Bruceski: Chorus is the only instrument I ever stuck to enough to see a result. Tried sax piano and guitar but got frustrated when the sound I wanted didn't just happen. My voice was always with me so I couldn't help but practice.
BrowneePointz: oh man doing Rob Halford/Bruce Dickinson screams are my bread and butter
BrowneePointz: there’s industry talks of rock band 5
thesimbiote: I don't wanna play fortnite 😭
TXC2:
"you just have to play it on fortnite" that is some cursed, black mirror type shit
Didero: The music stuff is a separate game mode from the shooty Battle Royale stuff though
fiftymcnasty: soon all games will be fortnite
Andymonium: noooo
twistedsylvan: *Monkey's paw curls*
thesimbiote: *another finger on the monkey's paw curls*
tyrsredritehand: Zippotrix Mc Drumlord.
thesimbiote: @twistedsylvan haha, twinsies
fiftymcnasty: Ben should get into QA testing
lightfut: Totally good on the mentals
Andymonium: *laughing, crying*
thesimbiote: Yeah, QA. Low stress. No crunch...
Didero: Oop, Ben disappeared
GasCityGaming: bye facecam!
TXC2: and Ben is in the void
AMuseOfFirebane: Yay, I finally caught up! Howdy y'all
spo8n: secret ben!
TXC2: hello AMuseOfFirebane welcome
thesimbiote: This creature gives me the same joy as looking at Elesh Norn does
TreeVor84: she's throwing mud because she's digging in the swamp looking for her baby
Mazrae: Cleansed so well wiped out Ben cam
kimmibeans: Ghost!Ben
BrowneePointz: crouching tiger hidden Ben
EvilBadman: Ben's camera has less sticky geometry
Diabore: bye ben?
GapFiller: VOID BEN
illogicalEmu: Quick, QA testing practice
tyrsredritehand: Call Heather to banish the void.
CastleOtranto: Dream void means Ben?
SymphonySolstice:
Greendrag13: Tunes AND return of Ben? Aw yeah, let the good times roll
quasi79fu: mommma willl neverrr stoppp loooking forr her babby
Didero: Hazel, he's lived here all his life, he knows this swamp better than you do
TreeVor84: such a beautiful game
Andymonium: right?
thesimbiote: It's so gorgeous
A_Dub888: you’re so fucking pretty
spo8n: what a pretty swamp
tyrsredritehand: Big Thasa
GasCityGaming: this is the lullaby she sang back in the day
BrowneePointz: all the songs are diegetic
beowuuf: big hug
protojman: oh no she can't heal her own hurt T_T
thesimbiote: The only downside to watching people play this is that it makes me want to do tons of screenshot studies, and I've got a Pride vend in two weeks, so there's just no time
Mazrae: Glad no boss fight against her
quasi79fu: hello shakin bones
BrowneePointz: giant man
quasi79fu: possums like to fake death..get the symbolism?
TXC2: shufflecats!
kimmibeans: IIRC, the in-game lore is that he was the original front man of the house band for the boat that crashed
thesimbiote: So many soft trash buddies
BrowneePointz: gotta love a 20ft tall skeleton man who can take you anywhere
TheAinMAP:
thesimbiote: Awwwwwwww, same, Hazel.
quasi79fu: Gottta follllowww the rivvvvverrrrr
Didero: Yay more Ben stream on Thursday!
GapFiller: Thursday Stream HYOE!
Gaelan_Maestro: break time?
EvilBadman: No, probably not since you got Elden Ring at 1
GasCityGaming: 2-3 hours left ish
thesimbiote: Oh, darn, another stream with Ben on Thursday?
GasCityGaming: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Bonus Stream (SUPRISE! It's a Elden Ring Nightreign Bonus Stream with Graham, Wheeler, and Ben! Game: Elden Ring Nightreign) at Mon 01:00 PM PDT (56m from now).
ShaneLeeAtk: Just drove through Clarksdale, Mississippi on Friday, birthplace of the blues, if the tourism push is to be believed.
BrowneePointz: uh…hmmm this is an awkward spot to be at with one stream left lol
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!
BrowneePointz: depends
A_Dub888: wait, what do I unclench?
BrowneePointz: we talking rowboat or canoe
BrowneePointz: and you can row either way as long as you go the right direction
thesimbiote: On the topic of Black heroes of the Civil War era, for anyone familiar with "The Battle Hymn of The Republic", the musical arrangement for that was taken from a war hymnal called "March of The First Arkansas", which was about the very first Black battalion in the Civil War. You can find recordings and I highly recommend folks to give it a listen
TXC2: A_Dub888 your jaw
A_Dub888: @txc2 instructions unclear: jaw dislocated
twistedsylvan: Yeah either direction can work, but I think it's easier to generate force when you pull the oars rather than push them. I'm pretty sure Shakin Bones was shown rowing like that to have an uncanny valley effect
TXC2: and we're back
fiftymcnasty: froze cam
MWGNZ: camera frozen?
TXC2: Ben your camera is frozen
otakubox0: Ben's just really locked in (cam frozen)
thesimbiote: Damn, the camera is not having it
Didero: "Town on the Tapestry" is what the quest thingy told us to find
kimmibeans: Ben's just having all the tech problems today
BrowneePointz: Ben you’re stuck in Monke Pog Face
Didero: Ben your facecam is frozen
Greendrag13: GHOST PIGGY
LordZarano: Dang Shakin' Bones backseating us
lightfut: Ah yes, SMRPG
spo8n: Ben don't fix your camera it is perfect
protojman: she said the thing
A_Dub888: are we going to get a puppet with gun arms?
illogicalEmu: Or else PERFECT ventriloquism.
thesimbiote: You have such lovely warmth in your singing voice, Ben
TXC2: there we go
spo8n: @A_Dub888 new idea for mecha anime
quasi79fu: the lore of what is in this place..shuddder
TXC2: this place is dense with stuff
quasi79fu: sense a theme?
lightfut: Sounds like a phone ring?
thesimbiote: This place is giving "doll crotch tunnel" from Alice: Madness Returns. Deeply disturbing, but integral to understanding the plot
Mazrae: Did someone lose an iPhone in there??
spo8n: a pending message in xbox?
TXC2: I think this is the 3rd fridge we've seen here
Invitare: it's Roux, not You
BrowneePointz: Oh look a man making deals at the Crossroads….wonder what the symbolism is
BrowneePointz: also JarJar putting in some voice acting WORK here(much love to Ahmed Best)
Didero: Hey at least with her phone back she can take some amazing photos
lightfut: Well alright then
SymphonySolstice: drip!!!
TXC2: now there's a glow up
Greendrag13: GLOW UP
kimmibeans: Def the best outfit by far
ShaneLeeAtk: I have ben to this part of New Orleans
BrowneePointz: now we’re in the totally not French Quarter
Didero: With all the running and jumping, won't she sweat off that make-up pretty quick?
61 raiders from ExtraCredits have joined!
thesimbiote: If Supernatural taught me anything, it's that dealing at a crossroads is bad, and being gay sends you to Superhell
TXC2: hello Raiders
GrassVortex:
Happy Pride 
Anubis169: Welcome in raiders!!
A_Dub888:
thesimbiote: Welcome, Raiders!!
ExtraCredits: Oh good, we're just in time!
TXC2: !events
spo8n: Ben is at 2:15 of nine hours streaming today
Didero: (All times PST)
GrassVortex:
oooh yeah, that is a stacked day with good games
Zarremgregarrok: how do you like the game?
ExtraCredits: That is a Stacked day. Void crew is so much fun
BrowneePointz: you can’t riff on Nawlins without Dixieland Jazz
BusTed:
BrowneePointz: legally not allowed
kimmibeans: I saved a bunch of computer work to do now so that i can work and watch the stream... instead I just watched the stream and ignored my work
SymphonySolstice: 📯📯📯
ExtraCredits: FFVI ! I'd never played it and wanted to understand the commander cards a little better
ShaneLeeAtk @BrowneePointz nods enthusiastically
illogicalEmu: @kimmibeans Are you ME?
thesimbiote: @kimmibeans I'm supposed to be designing merch, but I'm also just watching the stream
BrowneePointz: yay EC is playing Peak
ShaneLeeAtk: FFVI is my favorite. I replay it every year
Invitare: Xenoblade *taps forehead*
CastleOtranto: I'm due for a FFVI replay myself
ExtraCredits: huge same! 33 helped a ton
GrassVortex: E33 is *so good*
BrowneePointz: you’d like 6 and 9 Ben. no pun intended
TheMerricat: What do you find difficult with the turn based stuff?
TXC2: 7 is overhyped
Omnipotrevor: Original, or remake?
BrowneePointz: 6 is the greatest of the classical era, 9 is probably the best overall as a package
SaradinDR: 7 is fine, it gets a lot of nostalgia goggles. I think 6 and 9 are better games.
thesimbiote: I've heard so much about 7, how could it compare to how folks have described it?
couchboyj: 7 is better if you first played it as a tween. 6 holds up better imo.
Didero: Turn-based battles get so boringly repetitive for me
ExtraCredits: I compared the move from 6 to 7 to the move from Link to the Past to OOT, and that seemed to resonate with chat a bit
GDwarble: The original 7 has not aged very well. The script is...not-amazingly translated, the effects are *very* early 3D, etc.
Omnipotrevor: Are you trying to tell us 14 doesn't have anime bs?
thesimbiote: Who has the dang time, even?
BlueMechanic: I recently went back and finished FFIV and I'm currently on IX and I'm having a great time. I am threatening to play a lot more Final Fantasy because of the Magic set
Omnipotrevor: 3, 5, and tactics have the job system
ScrapyardGhostTrain: FF5 is the best 2D (mainline) FF.
lightfut: Ffx-2!
thesimbiote: Not having to make new characters over and over IS quite nice
GDwarble: 3, 5, and X-2 for mainline job games
Omnipotrevor: @GDwarble Oh yeah, can't believe I forgot to mention X-2. It is basically perfecting the combat
kimmibeans: Yes
TXC2: this place being a limbo or purgatory
Didero: I sometimes forget attack buttons in the middle of a fight
protojman: i really liked 7 and played it super late
BrowneePointz: 5 is also Harem the FF
thesimbiote: This place is similar to limbo. There's a good deal of Catholicism mixed in with Animism when you're talking Southern mythos
Mazrae: I've only played FF12 and FF14 so ive only had limited FF experience
TXC2: MORE VIT!
ExtraCredits: I'm, the raid lead in my static and I forget sometimes just as we pull 🤣
GDwarble: X-2 has...not great writing, unfortunately
Didero: oh man, demo disks
kimmibeans: Maybe Kooshma is just hangry?
TXC2: Demo disks, my beloved
BrowneePointz: X-2 has incredible combat and one of the WORST writing in any ff
Zarremgregarrok:
demo discs 
Greendrag13: Gotta get back to 14, level enough to roll with my old college pals
Didero: I think you missed some floof?
ExtraCredits: we're on adds phase in 6, but I totally hear not having time, this is a Great summer for games
Omnipotrevor: @GDwarble See, people always say that, but I would argue that the writing isn't X-2's problem. Few people seem to focus on X-2's one real problem: Being cheaply made out of reused assets to the point it makes an already small world feel tiny
BrowneePointz: with everyone being horny for the annoying bee lady when Hot Horsegirl with Gun is right there
ExtraCredits: Yep! I'm healing, those things Hurt
Didero: Like your fighting is just a show to them
GrassVortex:
Gaelan_Maestro: ive plaed 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 annnd X
ShaneLeeAtk: This is just making me want to go get a seat at Lafitte and watch the Bourbon St. traffic roam past as I slowly sip the cold drinks.
ScrapyardGhostTrain: See, I don't trust people that say X-2 has bad writing, because people also think that X is good. The only thing that's good about X is the battle system.
ExtraCredits: Exactly!
RocknGrohlNerd:
Speaking of anime bull*** I started xenoblade chronicles 2 I dont know what to think about the autocombat, I'm getting overwhelmed left right and center with gauges and prompts
ExtraCredits: and there are so many people who are Very Normal TM about him
A_Dub888: You know who else is cool as hell? Ben Ulmer
RocknGrohlNerd: ^agreed
BrowneePointz: @scrapyardghosttrain I’m not a huge X fan but no X-2’s writing is NOT great
BrowneePointz:
Ben as a French Canadian part of your culture is New Orleans
thesimbiote: It's something that even most Americans won't see in person and aren't that informed about
Didero: It's ok, Crouton likes pain
ExtraCredits: New Orleans is such a unique and iconic culture
BrowneePointz: True I meant in the abstract
twistedsylvan: In fairness, NOLA is pretty distinct from any other part of US culture lol
kimmibeans: For ancestry, kind of, for finding family it is very good though
Electrodyne: Bonjour
kimmibeans: That's how my aunt found her birth family
Didero: Died while watching TItanic
BrowneePointz: but yea since Cajuns etc are Arcadian immigrants French/Canadian stuff is slathered down there mixed with Spanish Irish and of course West African cultures and traditions
thesimbiote: We get a lot of Quebec traffic through my city, and we're 4 hours south of the Canadian border
ExtraCredits:
okay, I unfortunately need to grab food, you're all awesome, have an excellent day and a great start of Pride to everyone who's celebrating
ShaneLeeAtk: Oh, these are the crossroad demon deals, aren;t they?
quasi79fu: is it so bad to be trapped in a never ending dream of something you want?
thesimbiote: Happy Pride!!
BrowneePointz: correct Roux is a devil symbolism. he literally offered us a deal at a crossroads
Didero: Since you're probably not gonna finish the stream today, it could be smart to stop earlier, so you do get a break between streams
Didero: Sorry if that's backseating streaming >_>
quasi79fu: thats the discussion
Omnipotrevor: @BrowneePointz As far as following up on Yuna's arc goes (along with the future of politics and religion in Spira itself that Graham menitoned in a recent video), X-2 is a perfectly written follow up. I'll admit that the game's villains, side characters, and the 100% ending get pretty bad though
twistedsylvan: @BrowneePointz Did that happen on this stream and I missed it? Or was that from a previous stream?
fiftymcnasty: "a casino where I always win, thats borning, this must be hell"
thesimbiote: Hey, Ben, I just wanna check that I sent that fanart last week to the correct email? Ben @ loadingreadyrun dot com, right?
TXC2: "saw it coming"
BrowneePointz: @twistedsylvan Roux kept saying he has our Mom and to come see him; and we found his caravan at the crossroads
thesimbiote: No worries!!
thesimbiote:
Yay!!!! I'm so glad
MWGNZ:
twistedsylvan: @BrowneePointz ah okay, I must have alt+tabbed away before seeing where the caravan was lol. Thank you!
A_Dub888:
Didero: Yeah, and Hazel looks pretty cool too
Andymonium: oh RIGHT the jazzy combat music, love this section
BrowneePointz: not just any jazz
thesimbiote: Hazel getting double glow-ups, despite starting the game gorgeous as hell
BrowneePointz: Dixieland Jazz
GasCityGaming: LOVE the music in this section (i could say that about every section tbh)
quasi79fu: Alllll thattt jazzzz
twistedsylvan: Now I'm trying to remember the different blues musicians that were rumored to have sold their soul to the Devil - rn I can only remember Howlin Wolf and maybe Clapton? But there have to be more
Electrodyne: Good music, good weirdos
fiftymcnasty: This is probably an ok pause point
quasi79fu: Devilll went to georgia...Looking for a soul to steal
BrowneePointz: speaking of Ben if you get the chance to go to Nola you’ve GOT to go listen to a set at Preservation Hall
lamina5432: GETTIN THERE
Didero: Already looking forward to Thursday!
