TehAmelie: soo the people who made Umurangi Generation are still into Evangelion, and now they're making a game about penguins
Manae: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Talking Simulator (Cameron and Cori take a deeper look at the world of video games. Game: The Invincible) at Tue 01:30 PM PDT (0s from now).
TheAinMAP: Signal
TehAmelie:
SymphonySolstice: hello cori and cam
TehAmelie: ahoy
OldUncleDan: Are there wildfires going on up in Canada? Asking for my fellow Minnesotans.
TheAinMAP:
Hello 
Juliamon: OldUncleDan So, so many
SymphonySolstice: @olduncledan sure are, as is tradition
OldUncleDan: Cause I can't go outside becasue of the smoke.
Jillexie: The sun was orange this morning in Toronto.
CookieMom: We've got the #2 worst air quality in the world in Minneapolis between Wildfires and Tear Gas. Woooo!
SymphonySolstice: it's a bit stinky out
aerohydra: at least its physical fire and not metaphorical fire?
Jillexie: Literally on fire vs figuratively on fire as is the case to the South of us.
ArdCollider: you've got the most alarming morale patches on masked goons too, CookieMom.
OldUncleDan: Honestly, it's one of the very few cons of bordering Canada. Lots of pros though.
TheMerricat:
You know I wouldn't mind if you Canadians smoked, but we're getting smoke alerts for air quality issues in Missouri from you all can't you at least keep it in your own borders? 
SymphonySolstice: great time living in saskatchewan, truly
CookieMom: @ArdCollider Yup. It suck. So how about some cake and circuses to distract!
NotCainNorAbel: at least it's an ethos
TehAmelie: i know what to do deploy the US strategic cheese reserve. okay it might not quell the fires but you'll have a lot of smoked cheese
SymphonySolstice: additionally our river is at its bare minimum flow because they won't release water from the dam
ElCoggins: Bike lanes are good, everywhere needs more of them
raulghoulia: Insane Bicyclist Posse
Jillexie: I wish we had fewer insane Premiers in Ontario who want to take away ALREADY BUILT bike lanes.
Jillexie: ALREADY BUILT
TehAmelie: do we need 5 kmph speed limits for sidewalks?
Nigouki: not just that, he wants THE CITY to pay for the removal
ElCoggins: Thats brought back memories of the insane Bikes in Amsterdam
raulghoulia: just saw an ad to remove bike lanes here in Boston
Jillexie: Yup
SymphonySolstice: good ol doug
aerohydra: defrastructure
OldUncleDan: "Mike Pillow" is saying he's going to run for Governor here in 2026.
TehAmelie: ultrastructure?
Nigouki: yeah he's totally still not mega mad for losing the mayoral election
CaptainSpam: doofustructure
SK__Ren: Extrostructure?
Jillexie: @Nigouki He doesn't like us
SymphonySolstice: it'll either be much better or much worse
SymphonySolstice: worth the gamble tho
SK__Ren: Wake me up... when the planet ends
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Hi @LoadingReadyRun . Cori, if you did it now, it's Estivation.
OldUncleDan: Dry? Canada Dry?
vinewood_og: Weather forecast for 2225... HOT
CookieMom: @OldUncleDan A failed businessman who's adept at conning people out of their money? It would never work.
ghyllnox: I think coastal areas will be more wet than they're comfortable with
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Hibernation is winter, estivation is summer.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I saw that Matt Damon movie.
Nigouki: my headcanon for The Last of Us is that only America is a hellscape and the rest of the world just figured it out and watching from the outisde
TehAmelie: moon!
OldUncleDan: So Challenger Disaster?
raulghoulia: Dat astronaut
OldUncleDan: And Columbia.
Nigouki: Space be spooky, but good spooky cuz it's far away from me atm.
SolarBlitz1: But what of Aquabats?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Aquanautics is F*cking terrifying!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I would much rather go to space than the deep ocean.
TehAmelie: Absolution
Nigouki: they demolished my closest library 🙃
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Nigouki I mean, it's only like, 50 miles away.
TehAmelie: i saw the cover of Authority in i think Polish, where they changed the title so it still starts with A. such style
LordZarano:
(for the earlier thing) Relevant xkcd: "When cryogenic freezing was invented, all the engineers who were excited about the future froze themselves. So there's been no one building anything new." https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/cryogenics.png
SolarBlitz1: Oh the Darkness devil entrance, yeah
OldUncleDan:
Favorite movie with an astronaut? "Sailor Moon S" movie. 
Nigouki: oh good, actually that I finally bother to look it up instead of driving by and seeing the hole in the ground: "This location is closed for approximately 3 years for construction." so it will be back
Redbassist: 🛐🧑🚀
TehAmelie: it seems like your tummy has opinions
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @LordZarano that feels very Douglas Adams.
SymphonySolstice: calling a hole "closed" is hilarious to me
Earthenone: !holes
LRRbot: Holes are ontological parasites because they can only exist as aspects of another object
TehAmelie: i thought it was depressing when they moved my city library down to the docks and replaced it with a liquor store
CaptainSpam: They replaced the library with a smoldering hole in the ground. Good for tourism. Come visit the smoldering hole in the ground, the tourism board always says.
Chaotically_Random: Wait WHAT? Did I miss something?
accountmadeforants: It's the Darkness Devil
Nigouki: Fujimoto is Not Ok:tm:
accountmadeforants: Embodies the fear of darkness
SymphonySolstice: they're building a new library downtown to replace the old crusty one, so I'm excited for that
Lord_Hosk: Whats a book?
SymphonySolstice: non
thedepthandbreadthofseth: the emblem feels like a hieroglyph.
accountmadeforants: I have not read the book, but I did play the game and really, really liked it
Nigouki: sold on the bwaaaaamwwwww
wedge_x: oh hey I made it in time
TehAmelie: i've read over 20 books but no
SymphonySolstice: synth ✔️
thedepthandbreadthofseth: what is game premise?
TehAmelie: the eternal struggle between mood lighting and wanting to see shit
accountmadeforants: @thedepthandbreadthofseth Planet has bad vibes, we're here to find out why.
SymphonySolstice: whenever a game says "adjust until the image is barely visible" that's my queue to turn it up high instead
wedge_x: what if Firewatch but for Soviet SciFi
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @accountmadeforants ahh. I probably should get a spare pair of pants.
SymphonySolstice: No, Vik
TheAinMAP: One last job...
accountmadeforants: Worth noting the book is from 1964.
CaptainSpam: Friggin' Novik. That's so like him, too.
Jillexie: 6g burn!
TehAmelie: such a multicultural crew for 1960s soviet
Lord_Hosk: Capsulvated
TheAinMAP: Did the crew do a head count when they left the last planet?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TehAmelie Soviets were kinda big on token representation.
accountmadeforants:
You can also get laser eye surgery to start seeing those stars 
Nigouki: if you can feel your frontal lobe that means it's still there
TehAmelie: that doesn't even have nerves!
OldUncleDan: That's just called a migraine.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Just to clarify, there are no pain receptors INSIDE your brain.
TehAmelie: this would be a terrible way to find out you're a Highlander
accountmadeforants:
Despoiler98: IT HAS DIODES
Nigouki: oh we looking for them artifacts
SymphonySolstice: c o o l t e c h n o l o g y
MWGNZ: those are some good looking tactile switches
accountmadeforants: Oh yeah, the aesthetics are spectacular
TehAmelie: it feels like the warning light boxes in Annihilation
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Hectabar is my favorite member of the Ska/ Mariachi fusion band.
Opie74: lvl odds chem
Opie74: organic chem
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Linguistics.
SymphonySolstice: biologist confirmed?
Akaiatana: [Main character] Was Not The Imposter
e_bloc: polo
thedepthandbreadthofseth: With an emphasis in medieval French philology.
TehAmelie: i'm not sure if this is some sci fi notebook or videogame convention
OldUncleDan: Are either of you going to be involved with the Streamer Event tomorrow?
Lord_Hosk: GO PET IT!
SymphonySolstice:
trainpants: I want one
TehAmelie: we're not gonna pet the dog i bet
TheAinMAP:
thedepthandbreadthofseth: and Bingo was his name, o?
Nigouki: oooh, i love the mechanic of observe landmarks to make map from triangulation
OldUncleDan: Oooh... Motion sickness. Gonna make this second monitor listening.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: yes?
ZeroskieS: Don't let Anakin on this planet
Opie74: so its Firewatch on mars
Lord_Hosk: Rope now horribly tangled in backpack
TehAmelie: Firewatch but you don't have a radio signal, doesn't seem like Firewatch to me
thedepthandbreadthofseth: -10 points for an unwound hank.
SymphonySolstice: love the doohickeys
wedge_x: is percussive maintenance
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I'm naming it Francis.
TehAmelie: this is worse than regular videogame water
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Did this just become myst?
OldUncleDan: Fourth Rule: You probably shouldn't pipet by mouth.
TehAmelie: where you don't know if it'll kill you or let you swim or block your way. . .
Lord_Hosk: A robot must protect its existances unless drinking random pools of liquid. Because thats just cool.
DakotaKobold: This is just like the scene from Alien where the pilot wakes up from cryo sleep
Invitare: The Third Rule? "Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to." That one?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: tortoises live for like EVER. I'm on team tortoise.
Akaiatana: 'Sures' have been a staple of Talking Sim since the beginning. Did id start with Talking Sim, or was it borrowed from elsewhere?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Invitare I like the 35th rule.
TehAmelie: i learned at some point the rate at which the body's cells absorb water. 1.5 cc per 15 minutes or something. if you want to measure your sips.
Lord_Hosk: THere could be cool rocks in the giant hole. Thats where the AstroNavigator found them
e_bloc: mothing simulator
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Lord_Hosk I think they just said "astrogator," which in my mind means he is a star crocodilian.
SymphonySolstice: chicken gimbel
Akaiatana: It reflects the lack of headbob and I respect it
TehAmelie: i'd like a FPS where this happens only if you turn off head bob
TehAmelie: head literally stops bobbing
TheAinMAP:
thedepthandbreadthofseth: ok, that looked like a well worn walking path.
SymphonySolstice: now I'm just thinking if you took this game and combined it with pikmin
MrVirite: not much what's laterite with you?
Symphoneers: "Laterite is a soil type rich in iron and aluminum and is commonly considered to have formed in hot and wet tropical areas."
LordZarano: "Laterite is a soil type rich in iron and aluminium"
UtilityPunk: This is our hole, it was made for us
TehAmelie: ooh, so this wasn't a desert before
SymphonySolstice: love a good loading zone hole
accountmadeforants: This is how I find out there's a Minecraft mod by the Geological Survey of Sweden, to add a bunch of different soil types (including laterite).
Akaiatana: The garden mostly forks with you
NarwhalsInATrenchcoat: @accountmadeforants oooh, what's the name so I can look it up?
accountmadeforants: @NarwhalsInATrenchcoat BetterGeo
TehAmelie: Teleoptikon sounds almost not ominous
ghyllnox: If they can, they ain't sayin
TehAmelie: for the so be it union!
OldUncleDan: You can get down... But can you get funky?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TehAmelie I like that Panasonic branded on, the Panoptikon.
accountmadeforants: Is she judging things by how well she'd be able to skateboard down it?
shushu2539: if the rock is solid as her head, it will hold
TehAmelie: just don't let us do a Novik
Nigouki: our rope has no shadow D:
SymphonySolstice: goodbye forever rope
Symphoneers:
Our rope is a vampire 
TehAmelie: she did just talk about months long storms. . .
Symphoneers: Or wait that's reflections. I'm having a normal one.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: for sure.
Lord_Hosk: Time to read those subs
Nigouki: got sandblasted to the bones
Nigouki: oh damnit, they have those really lovely Gagarin era helmets with the ridges
thedepthandbreadthofseth: is the storm a temporal storm?
MrVirite: temporary storm
shushu2539: teleportation sandstorm
Nigouki: I'm gonna blame Chekov's Mineral that we dug out at teh cost of a leg
Pteraspidomorphi: Ah, this game
Pteraspidomorphi: Question, have you encountered any glitches yet? I just got here
accountmadeforants: As an aside, the game does autosave (and doesn't allow manual saves), and I never ran into any issues with the checkpoints. (Except for when I tricked myself into wasting a bunch of time.)
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Pteraspidomorphi no glitches, only gulches.
Lord_Hosk: The Dragonfly is right above you, I can see it. Why don't you just use space jump. Its right there! Just use space jump!
TehAmelie: only if you count Novik's glitching
Pteraspidomorphi: Judging from other people's testimonials so far I was extremely unlucky when I played it
Pteraspidomorphi: (No regrets though)
wedge_x: loamy sand or sandy loam
accountmadeforants: @Lord_Hosk When we fell we lost the Screw Attack power-up, otherwise we'd be up there already
thedepthandbreadthofseth: astrogator. I was right. they're a lizard.
TehAmelie: 4% less oxygen than earth. that would be so exhausting
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Oxygen does not happen naturally...
SymphonySolstice: you just missed the apocalypse. sorry.
accountmadeforants:
@thedepthandbreadthofseth From astro and navigator (astrogation is a real word, even if it's almost exclusively used in stuffy sci-fi novels 
)
TehAmelie: a fossilized planet, or so they think. life has come and gone
Lord_Hosk: Intolerant evolution? Mods! get on the banning of that Evolution, we don't put up with intolerance around here!
accountmadeforants: Well, they're against the Horde again
graal_smith: The Alliance? The Patriots? Metal Gear?
shushu2539: so, the deathstar
thedepthandbreadthofseth:
@accountmadeforants navigator, from the latin nautus (sailor), and gator (big toothy bitey guy). 
.
SymphonySolstice: le gasp
empyreon: not the dain bramage!
TehAmelie: K-Rauta is the name of a hardware store chain here. very distracting
UtilityPunk:
Remember chat, stay hydrated after waking from cryosleep! 
shushu2539: !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!
TehAmelie: i'm gonna have a tuna and lettuce sandwich. so healthy it feels dangerous
TehAmelie: i assumed it was a whole alien solar system
gsyhiap: An astrobiologist, studying all that star-life
thedepthandbreadthofseth: not to be confused with an exo- or xeno-biologist.
TehAmelie: astrodynamics has the funniest name of the sciences i think
TehAmelie: studying the motion of space
wildpeaks: uh oh
graal_smith: "Look, for the last name, my name is Andrew. Androbot is a rude take on my name."
RealGamerCow: was going to guess low O2.
BusTed: trying to wake up in the morning
graal_smith: "Nothing is wrong with the doctor, except his brain has been replaced with an EZ bake oven."
gsyhiap: He just hasn't had his morning coffee...
Invitare: excuse me, I didn't see the subtitles. Is their name Dr. Kryten?
CaptainSpam: Turns out everyone's just messing with Yasna.
accountmadeforants: Oh nah I'm just messing with ya yasna
TehAmelie: Krauta
wildpeaks: opening our helmet when the only person there looks visibly unwell seems ill advised
narset6691: is that garte from disco elysium?
Invitare: @TehAmelie Ah. I was about to get the Red Dwarf references out
TehAmelie: wait is Novik Ripleying us
graal_smith: "Bout to drop a mission log, in mine pantz"
SK__Ren: Beryllium is scary
TehAmelie: i.e. following procedure when we're jsut trying to save this guy
graal_smith: That felt passive aggressive "Yeah, like EVERYONE ELSE"
OldUncleDan: That does seem like the best tent to go camping in ever!
BusTed: Is it detecting
wildpeaks: we doing Science now
Lord_Hosk: K2 S0?
accountmadeforants:
Brain damage is a fun way to have us be introduced to things without having someone obviously unqualified on the crew
gsyhiap:
graal_smith: "I remember, a tutorial flashback"
TehAmelie: well, we're not unqualified until we have to go through our next qualification at least
graal_smith: I see no good reason.. why gunpowder treason?
BusTed: That'll teach 'em for being defensive
Lysander_salamander: Hello everyone!
wildpeaks: fish will remember this
realbadatthis_: Good thing we have these Checkov metal detectors
gsyhiap: Zap!
LathosTiran: why do they fear us? ill teach them to fear us
narset6691: imagine if this was the fish equivalent of a corvid
accountmadeforants: I had no choice but to tase the fish, your honor, it was resisting arrest
TehAmelie: this makes me think of Becky Chambers' thin book "To be taught if fortunate"
Lysander_salamander: Oh, Invincible! I haven't tried this yet.
shushu2539: if you throw a robot to a fish they will stay cool
LathosTiran: neir automata taught us robots should fear fish
TehAmelie: where astronauts do everything humanly possible to avoid interfering with aliens while examining them
Lysander_salamander: When they had been asking for Soviet Scifi-inspired games a couple weeks ago I had one but had forgotten the name until now.
accountmadeforants: The photographs are very neat
thedepthandbreadthofseth: that's a lot of camp gear to transport back and forth.
narset6691: that is so cool
Elucca: oh so that's how they do it. i was just thinking of a need to animate a deployable dish
Lysander_salamander: Having blinking is an interesting choice
BlasterKyubey210: @Lysander_salamander Yea
Invitare: Positronic?? That thing is a bomb!
Invitare: one scratch in the wrong place and you've got an anti-matter explosion on your hands
gsyhiap: Ooh, an Asimovian robot?
Elucca: my legs are ok
shushu2539:
accountmadeforants: Androbot has places to be
ZeroskieS: does the robot need the toilet?
TehAmelie: in this era it seems a lot of writers thought positronics would be the next step of technology after electronics
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Invitare I don't think it's MADE of positrons, just uses them.
BusTed:
UtilityPunk:
Arti will walk in place while you're gone 
LathosTiran: well ...you know...reverse the polarity
Elucca: @TehAmelie yeah, but i think it's just technobabble. positrons are antimatter
accountmadeforants: Brain damage is the perfect explanation for all things video games, including the player interacting with everything to make it maybe do a thing.
Lysander_salamander: Yeah, the game was called "Return to Grace." About a future space archeologist investigating the shutdown of a godlike computer on Ganymede.
BlasterKyubey210: Alot of theoretical fun stuff
BlasterKyubey210: Honesly this game is something I'm interested in
BlasterKyubey210: Mostly due o Hard sci-fi game chasing
BlasterKyubey210: not sure if there's similar
gsyhiap: Perfectly normal
accountmadeforants: This is where the Windows screensavers come from
OldUncleDan: I hope it's a Sour Gusher! Those are my fave!
TehAmelie: i thought geyser was just another word for gusher
graal_smith: She must be somewhere close, because it's physically impossible to be more than 1 km from a book you own.
wildpeaks:
TehAmelie: alien plastics!
SymphonySolstice: obelisk! obelisk! obelisk!
TehAmelie: i bet it's spelled with a doctor's RX
graal_smith: General PIXAR, Commanding Animator, Disney Division
Elucca: general piechart
LathosTiran: pir-christ-ard
UtilityPunk: Piyakayad
KBKarma subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 55 months!
KBKarma: I played this. It was quite fun. There are multiple endings apparently!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, KBKarma! (Today's storm count: 17)
EvilBadman: Paramount's new series Pirxhard
gsyhiap: Jurn-Luhk Pirxard
graal_smith: You can talk to the backpack!
Lord_Hosk: You are standing on her
graal_smith: Standing on it worked
KBKarma: Oh, this part.
Omthebox: I feel like that wouldn't work very well in a space suit.
SK__Ren: Maybe incase she throws up when resucitated?
Lord_Hosk: You have to sing Staying alive or it doesn't work
graal_smith: Enough fondling the dead woman!
shushu2539:
goombalax: the first time I did first aid training they said if you don't break ribs you aren't doing it right
Elucca: seems like the atmosphere is breathable and not horribly toxic. maybe it's just not great long term
UtilityPunk:
It's fine 
KBKarma: She died of not being alive.
KenKopin: Did she drop any good loot?
graal_smith: She died of just laying there until she died.
Elucca: could have low o2 or high co2 or something but not to an unsurvivable degree
goombalax: sweet katana maybe?
graal_smith: It's the Pax!
TehAmelie: a katana made of strong Russian steel?
accountmadeforants: @Elucca They mentioned this at the start, yeah. Bit too much methane so you'll get brain damage if you breathe it for an hour or more.
Elucca: oh makes sense
Lysander_salamander: yay not as many people dead as we thought
MWGNZ: too much skooma
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
goombalax: khajit drugs
Invitare: Tenno skooma
graal_smith: Elder scrolls
wildpeaks: Elder Scrolls moonsugar drug for big cats
wildpeaks: makes you go fast
Foxmar320: Skooma make you go zoom zoom
graal_smith: @wildpeaks Gives Zoomies
narset6691: i prefer skribbane for fake video game drugs personally
SK__Ren: @graal_smith You mean Skoomies
wildpeaks:
@graal_smith better 
TehAmelie: speaking of strong russian steel
wildpeaks:
@SK__Ren even better
Elucca: i like how the dialog options called it
Elucca: BOOM?
gsyhiap:
UtilityPunk:
Welp, guess it's not an emergency anymore given my fitness 
Just a tragedy
graal_smith: It's not going to explode. It's gonna IMplode
Elucca: where is the earth-shattering kaboom
UltraVioletVodoo: wow shes a beast, he looks like he weighs like 150 to 170lbs plus the suit
narset6691: @UltraVioletVodoo is gravity the same here?
Elucca: she mentioned lower gravity
wildpeaks: I'm gonna bet the fish was an alien's pet and they came for revenge John Wick style
UltraVioletVodoo: @narset6691 oh ya forgot bout that
narset6691: @UltraVioletVodoo i joined mid-stream i was legit asking
Invitare: it has a trustworthy eye
Lord_Hosk: Why wouldn't she go back with?
shushu2539: maybe the alien piping broadcast brain damaging waves
UltraVioletVodoo: @narset6691 ya it is lower grav
Invitare: the lander could really benefit from some sort of trolley
Seraphin_Eveles: Is this Talking Simulator, or Walking Simulator?
gsyhiap: @Seraphin_Eveles Yes.
Elucca: we talk while we walk
TehAmelie: sure would be nice if we were two people here with healthy legs to do all the lifting, NOVIK
narset6691: looking at the metal thing, is just begging for "make a pow check"
Andymonium: gosh I love this game. The Stuff is all very Vibes
goombalax: flamethrower is just the ticket for those primitive ocean lifeforms
wildpeaks: *gasp*
gsyhiap: Perfectly healthy behaviour
j_crane330:
EvilBadman: Just imagining the nicotine residue build up on the inside of a helmet
UtilityPunk: Smoking? On a methane atmosphere?
wildpeaks: Space hopping simulator
thedepthandbreadthofseth: the new lethal company expansion is weird.
accountmadeforants: The gamble on bringing cigarettes just in case you land on a planet with a breathable atmosphere, respectable
j_crane330: She's masking so hard
TehAmelie: it takes what, 200,000 times the weight in rocket fuel to get one unit of weight out of Earth's gravity well. that makes the smokes taste 200,000 times better
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @accountmadeforants they smoke on the ship, too.
KBKarma: I never got this dialogue! Or to carry Marit back!
shushu2539: somehow the aesthetics of this game reminds me of The Outer Worlds
Andymonium: @tehamelie math checks out
OldUncleDan: I wonder if it was the "not giving up" option.
xantos69: So, what's the pitch of this game?
KBKarma: @OldUncleDan I think so, yeah.
wildpeaks: mystery in space, based on a famous novel or comic book (forgot which of the two)
KBKarma: @xantos69 They land on a planet. Shit's fucked, and they don't know what shit's fucked or why.
Juliamon: 70's scifi mystery
Andymonium: RT's on break
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TehAmelie there's no mention of earth that I noticed. their spaceport could be at a smaller gravity well...
Denis_Dobrolubov: @wildpeaks Novel by Lem.
KBKarma: @wildpeaks Novel, by Stanislaw Lem.
wildpeaks: thanks
Bruceski: That was when I hovered
narset6691: look, its that kind of behavior from organics that leads right to "does this unit have a soul"
gsyhiap: He's got important Arti business to stand around and stare at...
KBKarma: Y'know... I heard that Artie was called the Drift King back in college.
LathosTiran:
do you know how hard it is to animate robots? 
xantos69: @narset6691 The answer to that is always "Yes you sure do" Then force a reboot.
accountmadeforants: @thedepthandbreadthofseth I somehow never noticed!
narset6691: then lose the morning war agaisnt the other bunch that also gained sentience
Lord_Hosk: Grignak Grignak grignak (slaps universal translator) ROCK ROCK ROCK
Andymonium: Goskie, The Lost appears with a screen width health bar
KBKarma: I love the zeerust aesthetic.
wildpeaks: booping the snoot of the probe
Elucca: peak machines
Elucca: yes, as we say
Invitare: who says that?
KBKarma: Novik.
lannersong: you don't say that?
Symphoneers: I'm always saying this.
Andymonium: All games should do lore drops as diegetic comic panels
thedepthandbreadthofseth: face on a face.
TheAinMAP:
TehAmelie: hey, the photos have footsteps!
Invitare: Astrogators are space-faring alligators?
wildpeaks:
so it really was a revenge of the fish
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Invitare Yes.
KBKarma: That might be all from the slides.
UtilityPunk: The fish turned on the metal structure?
Elucca: you zap the fish. the fish zap your brian
UtilityPunk: Smart fish
Elucca: or brain, maybe. would zap brian if he was the zapper though
MMoritz: oh heck. how did I not think that I wanted to see cam playing the invincible? seems obvious in retrospect
Elucca: i want to see cam narrating anything tbh
KBKarma: @MMoritz Yeah, honestly great.
wildpeaks: yay new frend
xantos69: That does seem friend shaped.
MMoritz: as I just got here, has cam read the book?
wildpeaks: yessss
Invitare: Bubbles!
spo8n: proby mc probe face?
OldUncleDan: Bubbles!
BusTed: easy choice
vinewood_og: Orby McOrbface
OldUncleDan: That works too!
gsyhiap:
SymphonySolstice: BALL-E deez nutz
xantos69: Weird, they only gave us one choice in that dialogue.
goombalax: fuck it we BALL-E
gsyhiap: BALL-E for you!
Lord_Hosk: Better Gorsky
ZeroskieS:
its pronounced ballet
Elucca: EM pulse frying the probe makes a lot of sense but they don't usually fry brains
wildpeaks: we're bound to fluff it sooner or later
accountmadeforants: A display of pure skill
accountmadeforants: This is where the Snickers vein went
vinewood_og: Hiyo
gsyhiap: Uhhh
Elucca: ok is it weird that my mind also immediately went to snickers
TehAmelie: if there is no vein on top you should maybe consult a physician
Redbassist:
Go left
UtilityPunk: In my nonmedical opinion, that vein appears to have thrombosis
Symphoneers: Who up branching they vein.
Elucca: ayo got a vein on my massive vertical structure
KenKopin: Stanley walked through the RED door.
goombalax: you're so vein, you probably think this game is about you
vinewood_og:
Andymonium: I love this screensaver
wildpeaks: maybe it's the fish's student art project
OldUncleDan: Looks like Square Roots to me!
TehAmelie: they're not that much stranger than those hexagonal rocks that form on i think tropical islands
accountmadeforants: This is an alternate history where we never got the Pipes screensaver, otherwise she'd be able to explain it perfectly
Invitare: @TehAmelie never heard Ireland described as tropical before
TehAmelie: or there
CaptainSpam: I step away for a few minutes and now we've got a GLaDOS personality core following us?
Andymonium: mmm basalt pillars
MMoritz: @thedepthandbreadthofseth like the volcanic plugs at the giants causeway?
MMoritz: sorry, meant to be @tehamelie
Andymonium: @captainspam the space core, probably
TheMerricat: Wonder what Robert Frost's reaction would be if you told him he could just reload the save and pick the other branch.
CaptainSpam: @Andymonium Really living up that space life. Gotta go to space.
accountmadeforants: @CaptainSpam It's our quadcopter
KBKarma: @TheMerricat "That defeats the purpose. Pouty face."
MMoritz: @themerricat I’m sure it would make all the difference
OldUncleDan: I bet this spot smell deeply of sulfur.
Elucca: i think we call these "footprints"
Wolfstrike_NL: Are we also leaving traces after the water?
accountmadeforants: And yet *we* don't leave footprints. Curious 🤔
TehAmelie: i've only seen the hexagonal rocks in animated movies myself. but like three different ones
wildpeaks: I sense this is what we call foreshadowing, doctor
accountmadeforants: Do NOT call it "the other side", for narrative irony reasons
TehAmelie: even worse, we fall down a hole and break our legs and Novik has to save us
MMoritz: take only photos, leave only bodies
OldUncleDan: @TehAmelie Maybe the astrobot thingy will show up and save us in the end!
Invitare: hold onto Ball-E and fly up
wildpeaks: "what second flight"
TheAinMAP:
Lord_Hosk: Second what now?
narset6691: "second what?"
Steelwolf171: Second flight? Um, yeah...sure
KBKarma: @OldUncleDan You are being rescued. Do not resist.

Thanks for subscribing, goombalax! (Today's storm count: 18)
realbadatthis_: been awhile since the protagonist fainted
TehAmelie: when you've got traumatic brain damage after mysteriously crash landing on an alien planet, remember to take frequent blackouts
realbadatthis_: I know I would
OldUncleDan: @realbadatthis_ Maybe she's a long lost descendant of Jonny!
TehAmelie: ooh
OldUncleDan: Are either of you going to participate in the streamer event?
CookieMom: So many corpses in System Shock 2.
TehAmelie: Colonel Konrad was dead the whole time!
MMoritz: has cam read the original book?
CookieMom: Most begging you to kill them.
Elucca: gorsky is gonna be fine
thmanwithnoname: haven't read solaris but I read some of his short stories and loved them
TehAmelie: i'm confident i have read some short story by Lem in an anthology or other but i can't remember
NapalmSideburns: Running up that hill, there's a bush
MMoritz: I love the feel of this era of sci-fi. there’s just something different about eastern bloc stuff that I can’t put my finger on
accountmadeforants: #Bushes
accountmadeforants: (I think I've reached in-joke entropy with that one.)
Invitare: I'd go with trees
Lysander_salamander: mysterious fractal formations
wildpeaks: bushes, alien antennas, same thing
TehAmelie: i'm calling them alien mineral growths
gsyhiap:
Someone 3D printed the Windows pipes screensaver 
wildpeaks: ohhh
Lysander_salamander: land urchins
wildpeaks: oh I don't trust those things
NapalmSideburns: "something" seems to be shedding
realbadatthis_: Remember to breath in the nanobots
TehAmelie: we're following a pathfinding algorithm determined by a robot in a videogame. this can't go wrong
accountmadeforants: Say when
wildpeaks: gravity, our old nemesis
Elucca: amelie called it
wildpeaks: well this seems safe
TehAmelie: i may be a genius
accountmadeforants: This is the WALL-E 6S, we wanted to get the 8 but our contract wasn't up yet.
MMoritz: YES CAMERON YES
Elucca: i feel like this random chat may be foreshadowing something
OldUncleDan:
We'll call it "Grok".
accountmadeforants: Just like how we could never build a machine stronger than a man, simply can't be done.
wildpeaks: I refuse to surrender the em dash to our new overlords
Invitare: where would you even store all that magnetic tape?
gsyhiap: Computers were already the size of a room in the 70's!
Lysander_salamander: I sure like this more than anything by Heinlein. My friends in highschool liked his books a bunch, but I was always baffled about how bad they were.
OldUncleDan: Wait... Is this some sort of Roko's Bascilisk business?
MMoritz: stupid ass chat gpt, ruined my loved of em and en dashes
Gekyouryuu: trans sisters? how many trans nuns could there be?
MMoritz: @gekyouryuu not enough
TehAmelie: depends on the mother board's generation
OldUncleDan: Wait... Colonists? BOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
goombalax: cancelling the coral reef because colonies
gsyhiap: It never stops
MMoritz: the vein will continue until morale improves
OldUncleDan: So the "Ohana" rule.
goombalax: we BALL-Ed to hard
gsyhiap: Are you saying that your BALL-E's are too big?
wildpeaks: I don't trust the moving space thistles
MMoritz: I adore the aesthetic of this game
OldUncleDan: @gsyhiap We've got the biggest BALL-Es of all!!!!!!
TehAmelie: *straightens posture*
goombalax: she keeps having memory gaps
gsyhiap: @OldUncleDan And apparently we can keep them in the air longer than you can stay on your feet!
MMoritz: @goombalax no she doesn’t. she can’t remember any memory gaps
MMoritz: Sooty isolation, for when you need to imprison puppets
KBKarma: Sweep wouldn't be happy about that.
MMoritz: @kbkarma thank you for getting my joke

Thanks for subscribing, littleunknownn! (Today's storm count: 19)
lannersong: like reminiscing what "could have been?"
UtilityPunk: Oh, like nostalgia for something that never was, but had been imagined?
KenKopin: Like "Tomorrowland" At Disney? The future that never was?
gsyhiap: "Hauntology is a range of ideas referring to the return or persistence of elements from the social or cultural past, as if to haunt the present."
KBKarma: @MMoritz *salute* I didn't get it for a second, then twigged it.
Lysander_salamander: Alternate History?
gsyhiap: a neologism from Jacques Derrida, apparently
Lysander_salamander: I've read a few of those
KBKarma: The word I'm aware of is zeerust. At least, it's what they use in TV Tropes.
TehAmelie: auntology: i have two aunts
Lysander_salamander: Tvtropes makes up a lot of words that nobody else uses
Lysander_salamander: I guess it comes from starting out as a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan-page
narset6691: and that attitude might be the greatest thing holding us back
TehAmelie: weird little trip into social darwinism there
accountmadeforants: I like how that "Uh..." contained a whole "I'm not going to bother explaining all the way you're wrong"
narset6691: im reminded of something from babylon 5, one of the things required for true sentience, is the ability for self-sacrifice
Elucca: oh, zeerust is from douglas adams!
KBKarma: Oh nice. When I played it, queued dialogue would break any ongoing discussion.
UtilityPunk: The astrologer has a very realist perspective -- everyone is out for themselves and in competition to exist
KBKarma: Ah. How interesting.
NoxStryx: I know hauntology as a music genre
Elucca: it's from the Deeper Meaning of Liff, a dictionary of things that lack words but ought to have them
UtilityPunk: Ah, Novik
narset6691: if they are plants what are they growing towards
MMoritz: zeerustis explicitly th
realbadatthis_: oh the blacking out was pre-injury
TheMerricat: "Something — be it a piece of technology, character design, outfit, vehicle or architecture — used to be someone's idea of futuristic. Nowadays it has, ironically, acquired a quaint sort of datedness to it: inevitably, it will be more reminiscent of the era the work came from. Also sometimes called "Retrofuturism"."
MMoritz: or that.
OldUncleDan: Would the themes of the Fallout series be an example of this hauntology.
MMoritz: saves me typing it out
ghyllnox: Well like, the vault suits maybe
KBKarma: I think you may have to go through the patch of Very Concerning Stuff.
UtilityPunk:
Touch the trippy plants 
gsyhiap: Accept your predestined fate!
realbadatthis_: "cannot go backwards to monke, only forward to crab"
KBKarma: There were several times in Nier Automata where you could get a non-standard game over by leaving the combat area.
KBKarma: Goodnight Yasna!
OldUncleDan: Touch pointy get dizzy!
TehAmelie: now i think Ball-e is a hallucination
KBKarma: I have to finish it.
accountmadeforants: Worth noting this is based on a 1964 book by a Polish author (at which point Poland was effectively under the control of the Soviet Union)
niccus: digging up the original student project/IGF submission version is also interesting
KBKarma: Their brains are completely smooth!
MMoritz: we smoothed out their meat brains
NapalmSideburns: straight into the sarlacc for easy feeding
wildpeaks: giant venus fly trap
Lysander_salamander: like a post-holer?
TheAinMAP:
wildpeaks: save us BALL-E
TheAinMAP: Literal, "at the end of my rope."
MMoritz: have you see that episode of dr who with Satan in it? astrogator, it’s like that
accountmadeforants: Outer Wilds is outright my favourite game, no competition
gsyhiap: Time to start swinging...
wildpeaks: do not harm our precious baby
Invitare: Ball-E: "LONG LIVE THE KING"
Lord_Hosk: the rope? You carried multiple bodies back to the pod
accountmadeforants: BALL-E cares not for how weak your arms are, it has long since escaped the tyranny of limbs.
wildpeaks: define "safe"
TehAmelie: Novik WANTS us to break a leg!
accountmadeforants: BALL-E taking lovely pictures of your last moments
Lysander_salamander: is the robot taking photographs?
MMoritz: ball-e, must you continue to take pictures?#?
TehAmelie: our punishment for making fun of him all that time
Lysander_salamander: yeehaw
Symphoneers: Thank you ball-e, we love you ball-e.
gsyhiap: What's the worst that could happen?
accountmadeforants: BALL-E! Time for a trust-fall exercise!
wildpeaks: teaching machines not to trust humans
Lysander_salamander: yay?
imreallybored1991: goated af
trainpants: thanks ball-e
gsyhiap:
Elucca: i like how that established ball-e doesn't have the thrust to get us back up
TehAmelie: this is just like Spec Ops The Line
KBKarma: Slurpy slurpy!
gsyhiap: *shloooorp*
MMoritz: me: how much more down is there? spec ops: yes
narset6691: see if they are infiltrates, itwould be wild to have visual distortions slowly
realbadatthis_: We have two transmitters left
wildpeaks: hmm
MMoritz: yeet self into the void
narset6691: how long will i fall "the rest of your life"
accountmadeforants: See, *now* we're AAA
narset6691: how is this atmosphere breathable, what produces the oxygen?
narset6691: and nitrogen
Lysander_salamander: the droning music is interesting
kusinohki: methane oxygen atmosphere? wouldn't that be highly flammable??
narset6691: @kusinohki kaboom!!!!!
TehAmelie: it's mostly nitrogen so maybe
kusinohki: I forgot about the cigarette line
gualdhar: wait, isn't that robot floating with fuel ignited thrusters?
Nigouki: i wish we had a visible sippy tube
Elucca: maybe not enough methane to ignite
narset6691:
ive wanted to write a call of cthulu scenario with that giant organism 
narset6691: its so cool!
goombalax: haha...unless?
noSmokeFire: pando is by some measures the largest living organis
wildpeaks: I think there was a discussion about the giant single-organism tree in Firewatch too (another good walking sim)
MMoritz: @wildpeaks Alex and cam played that one years ago
narset6691: @MMoritz it was a great stream
KBKarma:
And I missed the Lyran discussion. 
TehAmelie: tight precision lean Cori
UtilityPunk:
Classic Gorsky 
Losing himself in discoveries
KBKarma: Right, I'm gonna bounce. See yez in the VOD.
accountmadeforants: Putting up a booth that says "Lost, not found"
narset6691: didnt u need to repair the probe?
TehAmelie: this is exactly the time i'd expect to suddenly find Matt Damon
Nigouki: all of this is just Nvidia's GPU from a few generations in the future
gsyhiap: @TehAmelie or Vin Diesel
realbadatthis_: minotaur
wildpeaks: Space Rome
Elucca: sprome, even
accountmadeforants: @Nigouki The surface temperature seems far too cool for that.
TehAmelie: no Matt Damon is the one who keeps getting stuck on deserted planets
accountmadeforants:
Lysander_salamander: dang
Invitare: I'm not so sure this planet IS deserted
TehAmelie: you called that
wildpeaks: it was bound to happen sooner or later
SymphonySolstice: a short cut is what happens after that fall
Lysander_salamander:
gsyhiap: Sure, tetanus is the real scary threat here...
accountmadeforants: I would *hope* there's no tetanus here.
narset6691: what happened, took a short cut, result received short cut
TehAmelie: i think we heard there was no bacterial life
wildpeaks: good old squeeze loading screen
NapalmSideburns: impaled by a single metal spike
TehAmelie: or i'm thinking of a Warhammer story i heard
accountmadeforants: Then again, that would be hilarious, "oh hell, we found life aside from tetanus!"
Lysander_salamander: or growing into them
wildpeaks: we must hurry, he has limited storage space
Elucca: he can't loot anything
wildpeaks: surprisingly resilient glasses
gsyhiap: How is our tank? We've been yapping away for ages...
Lysander_salamander: dang she's strong
wildpeaks: good thing we're swole af
OldUncleDan: Our tank is plot sized.
Elucca: the gravity is low
TehAmelie: Yasna must be mainlining physical instrument
gsyhiap: @OldUncleDan Let's hope there's no holes!
Lysander_salamander: Perhaps I've watched too much scifi-horror lately. Was expecting her to pull and only half of him come out
Elucca: i thought of that but figured in that case he would not be breathing
SymphonySolstice: the airline stewardesses always tell me put on your own mask before helping others
Elucca: i mean you could just share it. 10 minutes for you, 10 for gorsky, or whatever
Lysander_salamander:
TehAmelie: we've got an hour easily before brain damage becomes a problem
MMoritz: yasna is making goodTM decisions
TehAmelie: well, more brain damage
Nigouki: we know the gravity is lower and the oxygen percentage is slightly lower, but what about partial pressure? isn't that the most important thing?
Lysander_salamander: oh boy
accountmadeforants: The perfectly safe ledge
xantos69: No way that holds
Elucca: yeah just thump it down
Wolfstrike_NL: Great time to faint
gualdhar: oh no, we're falling without our oxygen
OldUncleDan: And that is when I passed out.
wildpeaks: oh no, we walked on the scenarium
BusTed:
gsyhiap: Wheeeee!
Symphoneers: Thank you Ball-e, we love you Ball-e.
Lysander_salamander: yay
wildpeaks: woohoo, road trip
TheAinMAP:
noSmokeFire: wh
MMoritz: it’s like the end of a myst level, you get a ride
SymphonySolstice: BALL-E MVP
Nigouki: Ball-e? more like BALLER
Invitare: sure is good we have oxygen
gsyhiap:
wildpeaks: first we need to know if Ball-E is fine
spo8n: breathe the poo gas
Elucca: we're borked in a few hours
gualdhar: it's hard to figure out where down is at the moment
accountmadeforants:
@gualdhar Well, it's forwards, obviously 
Lysander_salamander: is this a way to travel back in time to try out different things?
accountmadeforants: 2023 I think
accountmadeforants: November 2023, specifically
MMoritz: the aesthetic is stellar
TehAmelie: the Splinter Cell guy writes books?
accountmadeforants: Oh yeah, the game is fantastic
MMoritz: and it feels respectful to sci fi from that era
xantos69:
50 Bits
Lysander_salamander: not running in a straight line escaping a rolling spaceship
wildpeaks: 11bits picks good games to publish, I'm glad they used the money fro the success of their games from help other devs too
Lysander_salamander: sounds exciting
Lysander_salamander: I'm enjoying the card art for the Final Fantasy cards
Earthenone: to kill chaos?
Lysander_salamander: The Aerith one, where's she's got the steel chair is one of my faves
EvilBadman: What, me? Why?
spethycakes: Oh good, more Gaslight Ghostlike Girlboss
Juliamon: Just a brief break
Gekyouryuu: funny thing: the Final Fantasy TCG actually has two instances of "Archenemy" kinda, with "Boss Decks" where you fight Chaos or Sephiroth
