Play it Forward || Split Fiction Ep 2

   LoadingReadyRun: This was chat from the end of Let's Nope, but maybe they were talking about the hotdog scene in Split Fiction 
 accountmadeforants: Ah, but I see the nope boys are on the second part of the Last of Us which I didn't play (and only half-watched), so maybe it's both, that would be a fun coincidence
 accountmadeforants: I feel like a surprising number of games could qualify as having a "vore part"
 accountmadeforants: (Though yeah, Split Fiction really goes the distance there)
 TheAinMAP: Title change.
   LoadingReadyRun:  get ready for some Spliction!
 accountmadeforants: Flit Spiction
 accountmadeforants: Or for a more literal interpretation: Ficᵀ ˌion
  TXC2: Hello Everybody
 accountmadeforants: It really is a shame that Unicode hasn't added a "cut this character in half" modifier 
 PharaohBender27: Ahoy-hoy! We ready to spliction!?
  TXC2: hello PharaohBender27  welcome
 TheAinMAP:   
 accountmadeforants: 
 PharaohBender27:  !
  TXC2: CONTACT
  TXC2: and we're back on the refresh train 
seanmrwick: oh boy right at the beginning of stream
 DigitalSeahorse: ah Bradley Rains
seanmrwick: so between Mio and Zoey, who's your favorite?
 DigitalSeahorse: but also Boards of Canada sounding
 DigitalSeahorse: love this song so much
 PharaohBender27: Think I prefer Mio - Zoey's a bit nosy for my taste, what with her peppering Mio with questions about what her story's REALLY about
 DigitalSeahorse:  
  TXC2: I don't know, they're both just awful 
  TXC2: which I suspect is the intention
 PharaohBender27: I mean, also valid TXC2
  TXC2: Here we GO!
 TheAinMAP:   
  mtvcdm: hi
 quasi79fu: Am i only one who loves Zoey?
 TheAinMAP: Hello  
  TXC2: hello Paul and Heather
 PharaohBender27: Ahoy-hoy,  and  (aka the PH Balance)
 spethycakes: double desert bus tees!
 Orannis0: Split Fiction 2: Into the Crack
 quasi79fu: Space Unicorns
  TXC2: *Laughs in Star wars
 PharaohBender27: I've actually been wearing my DB shirts this week while I recover from my minor injuries on Saturday; I wore the year Paul's wearing yesterday and today I'm wearing the year Heather is
 quasi79fu: Steals peoples ideas for their own use
  mtvcdm: AI plagiarism machine
MTigress: invite unpublished authors, steal the worst unsellable ideas, ...., profit
 Orannis0: Is it really surprising that a big corporation would cut corners on QA?
 PharaohBender27: Look, they *really* are uncreative, that's why they couldn't even imagine failstates 
Invitare: they invented a device that instantly makes an entire computer game out of someone's imagination and instead of selling THAT they're using it to steal people's ideas
  mtvcdm: But the industry disruption Paul
 TheAinMAP: Guard rails probably went against the CEO's "vision."
  TXC2: Rails cost money
 gualdhar: Animal Farm with extra steps
MTigress: maybe she was traumatized and that was her way of compartmentalizing it
 PharaohBender27: Mio
 spethycakes: Siri and Alexa 
 PharaohBender27: @spethycakes 
  mtvcdm: 100 Mios vs. 1 Zoe
 TheAinMAP: 
 Travilogue: Is Zoe The Gorilla Gods Go To Girl?
 Orannis0: Kidnaps women, climbs skyscrapers
 spethycakes: @PharaohBender27 I'd apologize for my headcanon, but it makes me laugh a little too much
 PharaohBender27: Oh NNOOOO
 TheAinMAP: 
  TXC2: good lord
 BusTed: 
  TXC2: so the cheevos are actual cheevos?
 accountmadeforants: The "finished the tutorial" achievements are also fun
 PharaohBender27: Oh, I just realized - it's called Rader Publishing, because they're RAIDING these people's ideas
 TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/CrepuscularAnnoyingShrewCharlietheUnicorn-yS3U9WjhZmyp9tW9
 quasi79fu: MOnke time
 accountmadeforants: And to be clear, that percentage only counts people who have at least *launched* the game. So it's not just people leaving games lingering in their libraries.
  TXC2: for me at least, achievements will get me to do things in a game I otherwise wouldn't
 accountmadeforants: @TXC2 Yeah, if it's a game I really like and the achievements seem reasonable, I'll try to get them all
 quasi79fu: hahahaha
Invitare: they actually can't
Invitare: they've done research on this
 quasi79fu: ottter
Invitare: swimming is a very human thing, among the primates
 TheAinMAP: 
  TXC2: Drotter
 quasi79fu: Groooot
seanmrwick: looks a mix of Groot and Mokujin from tekken
 spethycakes: Detroit: Become Human
 DigitalSeahorse: Totoro?
 DigitalSeahorse: oh that
 PharaohBender27: @spethycakes "What if Blade Runner, but you empathized with the replicants?" 
 TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/GoodTsundereMuleDuDudu-D3uY1MKSM1wo6_Ky
 quasi79fu: hahahahha
  mtvcdm: Why do we even have those pirhanas
seanmrwick: but....Pirhanas are naturally vegetarian
 quasi79fu: haahahahahaha
 lightfut: Would piranhas inhabit an octopus' garden?
seanmrwick: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/RenownedGrotesqueBeefHotPokket-9P5y_ew1bXpZ09kq
 quasi79fu: omg
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/UnsightlySweetKangarooLitty-vZ8dxo01HQp6JoDP
 quasi79fu: Indiana of the last crusade boulder smashed monke
 BusTed: That was designed for sure
  TXC2: got indiana jonesed
seanmrwick: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/EndearingCoyGaurMikeHogu-oJP9rE0LKJEf7btF
 accountmadeforants: Oh dang, is Princess Bubblegum okay?
seanmrwick: haaaahmony
  TXC2: have we tried given this ice king pomegranates?
  TXC2: *giving
  mtvcdm: Also it probably doesn't have an agency that's just IRS backwards
seanmrwick: 2 reasons I like Joey: 1) super pretty and 2) Her accent is my fav
 accountmadeforants: Not just reading our minds, but influencing it so thoroughly that we start seeing and feeling things
 quasi79fu: hahhahahaha

  TXC2: SUB HYPE BEGINS
  TXC2:   
seanmrwick: oh yeah going as high as you can?
seanmrwick: I remember doing that and going pretty dang high
  TXC2: it's a thing you can only really start to do as a teenager 
seanmrwick: that's where the upper body comes to help
 accountmadeforants: I mean, the ground is not that relevant to you moving weight around.
 DigitalSeahorse: some swings are lower
 Orannis0: There are a lot of spots through the game where the two characters can sit together that give little bonus dialogues
  mtvcdm: up
 accountmadeforants: If you can swap weights during the see-saw motion that's near unlimited energy right there
  TXC2: elsewhere
 Didero: Good evening!
  TXC2: Hello Didero  welcome
 Didero: Oh, seems there's quite a lot of shapeshifting in this world, looking forward to catching up on the half hour I missed
 DigitalSeahorse: try switching ends maybe?
 Chesul: can you shapeshift in mid air?
 TheAinMAP: "I can jump higher than a tree!"  "Because trees can't jump!"
 quasi79fu: hahahaha
  TXC2: !findquote waterfall
  LRRbot: Quote #8064: "Stop making waterfalls if they're not going to have secret rooms." —Nelson [2022-05-09]
 PharaohBender27: Very appropriate quote, LRRbot 
 accountmadeforants: Yeah, the tech would be to have a heavy thing launch you while you're light, then you switch to heavy and they switch to light, and you launch them, repeat, upset physicists
 Didero: So Paul can become monkey and salamander, and Heather can turn into a faerie and a tree?
 PharaohBender27: 
  TXC2: Didero  yeap
 PharaohBender27: @Didero Alien otter rather than salamander, but yes
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 Didero: @PharaohBender27 Close enough, thanks
 quasi79fu: hahahhaa

 Didero: Man, this clip editor is slow https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/TallCarefulBillPogChamp-t-irGcBFWJHzxhvY
 Knitting_Goblin: Oh no!
 quasi79fu: this is so hilarious
  TXC2: saw that coming
 Knitting_Goblin: Huzzah!
  TXC2:  there
 Orannis0: We all make mistakes, sometimes on purpose
 quasi79fu: flower is hungy
 Knitting_Goblin: Poor bird
 Didero: Why can't Zoe just fly through this as a faerie?
 quasi79fu: Feeed me Seymour
 PharaohBender27: @Didero Presumably because those carnivourous flowers find fairies VERY tasty
 beowuuf: arr
 Didero: Side story time!
 PharaohBender27: 
 quasi79fu: what a fantastic plan that waas
 beowuuf: that was the darn button instead
 quasi79fu: KId icarus
 Didero: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ExcitedCrazyFennelDoggo-IWC0g9mYSYGhhTum
 PharaohBender27: Sounds more like sci-fi spec ops
 TheAinMAP: 
  TXC2: this is like 12 dams in one 
 quasi79fu: DO a barrrel rolll
 TheAinMAP: Aileron roll even.
 PharaohBender27: Excuse me, that's an aileron roll 
 Didero: IS that a train? There's no track
 TheAinMAP: Any sharks to jump?
 PharaohBender27: @Didero It's a sci-fi train, I'm guessing mag-lev
 quasi79fu: uh oh wallll
 Didero: @PharaohBender27 Mag-lev trains still need a track to magnetically levitate from
 HorusFive: @Didero That sounds like quitter-train talk
 PharaohBender27: @HorusFive It's been established that Mio's sci-fi isn't *hard* sci-fi
 Didero: @HorusFive I guess the track are those rotated-C-shaped pylons?
 TheAinMAP: The train also knows how to roll.
 TheAinMAP: The train was told spinning was a cool trick.
 Didero: This train has got barrels, and it's rolling, what more do you want
 Zaghrog: The machine recreating these stories seems really capable of making video games
 Jedi_Master_Zell: This thing sure has a lot of health.
 lightfut: I am a gamer, therefore I am entirely unable to look up
MTigress: what if the devs just held a game jam to make some really funky short games, and then threw all the entries in as side stories?
 HorusFive: Going to give the Ice King a stern talking to
 MTGRanger: Don't forget the trolls!
  mtvcdm: That volcano just wants hugs
 PharaohBender27: And we definitely didn't guillotine one of their arms off
fnoggchamp: ponder the ad-orbs
 TheAinMAP: 
 quasi79fu: baby na[[er
 Didero: You're gonna carefully and tenderly put it right back where you found it, that's what 
 quasi79fu: we making scrambled eggs?
 Didero: Can you do it with a hatched bird?
 TheAinMAP: !birb
  LRRbot: CAW CAW!
 Orannis0: Violence is always the solution
 Chesul: can heather jump in fairy form then shift to tree?
 quasi79fu: grab
 Zaghrog: there seems to ba a "grab" prompt...
 Orannis0: you're not grabbing
 quasi79fu: hahhahaha
 Didero: We turned an egg into a bird
  Sarah_Serinde: poor birb 
 Travilogue: We helped!!
 HorusFive: Famously difficult to smash object "Egg"
 TheAinMAP: 
  TXC2: "how do you like you eggs?" "rube goldburged"
 Didero: hey we're back to South Of Midnight
 Orannis0: Legally Distinct Deku Tree
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/OpenRespectfulRaisinBCouch-5e3hJVEckCYOg_gE
 HorusFive: That's the kind of code an idiot would have on his luggage
 quasi79fu: remember Zoey made this story as a kid
 Didero: Published writers are too expensive
  TXC2: ^
  Sarah_Serinde: It's really hard to get published, you can have excellent work but a publisher might not want to take a "risk" on it
  Sarah_Serinde: Especially if you're marginalized and/or writing about marginalized people or not writing something that's easily slotted into an existing genre
MTigress: they wanna steal the unpublished ideas and then use them first before the writer can get a publisher
 quasi79fu: hahahhha
  mtvcdm: At this point unpublished can be as simple as 'you're not a celebrity, get fucked'
 Shurtal: "Its my first time"
 couchboyj: Mio seems like she would judge
  Sarah_Serinde: oh oh also, apparently these days a lot of publishers are looking for you to have an established social media presence to promote your book. Not a TikTok star? Good luck!
 quasi79fu: uh oh
MTigress: lol
 quasi79fu: incoming deaths
  mtvcdm: !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!)
MTigress: this is fine
  mtvcdm: Mother Earth is dead!
 quasi79fu: this is glorious comedy
  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!
 RealGamerCow: oh, choose your own adventure time?!?!

 NightValien28: battledome?!
 BlueMechanic: Blitzball has more water
 Orannis0: Oh I remember this one, I almost quit the game during this. XD
 Didero: They've both already died dozens of times...
 invickthus: casual bomb toss.
 spicyFerret_: 0/10 not enough water
 A_Dub888: so if they die in the game, do they die in real life?
 PharaohBender27: I'm noticing a bomb theme with Mio's stories . . .
 Orannis0: @A_Dub888 Well like, eventually
 invickthus: damn, glados got a remake.
 Didero: @PharaohBender27 She's got an explosive personality
 TheAinMAP: 
 RatherLargeToad: Who put the bomb in the bom-sha-bom-sha-container
 Marvoleath: bomb explode? shocked
 A_Dub888: @PharaohBender27 something something pentup emotions
 RatherLargeToad: she sure does like explosions
 RatherLargeToad: this is just a cooking show now
 A_Dub888: Today on Tinker Tailor Soldier Fry…
 NightValien28: flawless
 TheAinMAP: 
 BusTed: 
 quasi79fu: you were saying
 TheAinMAP: 1 problem.

 PharaohBender27: @Didero Look, great minds think alike 
 A_Dub888: hang on, does that robot sound like Mio?
 BusTed: 
 Genie_M: Not GlaDOS enough
 Didero: @A_Dub888 I can't really tell, but it would make sense

 Didero: Was Zoe just surprised that a bomb explodes?
 A_Dub888: “Why did I make platforms that let them do that?!?!?”
  TXC2: no one can have idea of "ninja warrior, but with team work and bombs"
 BusTed: Unexpected
 quasi79fu: it not a treee
 quasi79fu: walking stick
 PharaohBender27: Oh no, it's ape on monkey violence!
  TXC2: quasi79fu  get out 
 quasi79fu: I sorry..i can leave....
 Didero: Who built these walls?
 PharaohBender27: @quasi79fu (reminder that  means sarcasm or faceitiousness)
 quasi79fu: OH ok
 A_Dub888: @quasi79fu TCX2 might be able to fix that 
 quasi79fu: thank you Pharoah for remembering im autistic and dont get sarcasm
 PharaohBender27: 🐒
  TXC2: quasi79fu  my apologies
 Didero: Make like a leaf and stick around

 Orannis0: TEETH TEETH TEETH
 Chesul: Yeah, why are they trying to steal stories when they could just open a gaming attraction and make so much more money?
  TXC2: those bigger teeth look like I can punch them out like a circus game
 quasi79fu: they basically almost invented the HOlodeck of Star trek next gemeration
 GDwarble: Admittedly, there does seem to be some risk of being trapped forever in a virtual world
 PharaohBender27: Because we needed a framing device for this game's story, that's why 
 A_Dub888: CEOs and rational thought don’t exactly mix
 HorusFive: All companies are- by nature- creatively bankrupt
 TheAinMAP: If these people thought creatively, their plan would be more than "steal ideas."
 quasi79fu: hahahahah
 Didero: Maybe don't touch the waterwheel at all?
 quasi79fu: geyser
 Zaghrog: This seems really a thinly veiled criticism aimed at the use of generative AI in creative text
 Didero: Go to the right side of the wheel?
 Didero: Hmm
 BusTed: oh, it builds up momentum
 PharaohBender27: 
  TXC2: Red means dead
 GDwarble: Surely they need monkey, human, and/or salamander traps instead
 BlueMechanic: unless it's the bear king. I just assume everything has a king in this world
 PharaohBender27: 
  TXC2: BlueMechanic  this world needs some representative democracy 
 PharaohBender27: "Why did you write this piranhas into this story!?"
 PharaohBender27: *these pirahnas
 Didero: I do really like that this game doesn't have any sort of death penalty, it allows you to just freely try random stuff
 JKBalch: Is this flower arranging?
 A_Dub888: “I have lived in the city and therefore have never touched grass”
 quasi79fu: T pose for dominance
  TXC2: don't most cities have parks? 
 PharaohBender27: 🐒 🐒 🐒
 BusTed: good arm
 PharaohBender27: @TXC2 Yes, but apparently the only park near Mio is "shady," and I assume she doesn't mean that in the sense of "has a lot of trees"
  TXC2: PharaohBender27  ah darn
 BlueMechanic: Is there just a King or a whole hierarchy with earls and duke and lords?
 BusTed: cute
 PharaohBender27: OUCH Mio's going to feel that tomorrow
 RandomTrivia: Hi friends!  Glad to catch some of this game, it seems very good
  TXC2: oh it's Elton John
 A_Dub888: WITNESS

 Genie_M: Not Louie
 RatherLargeToad: she went to a weird zoo
 Didero: @RandomTrivia I feel that's true for most parts of this game
 protojman: i would also not have spoiled this if i was coopping this with another writer 
 RandomTrivia: @Didero Duly noted 
 GDwarble: This is closer to Etamon from Digimon than Sun Wukong 
 quasi79fu: dance dance revolution time
 RealGamerCow: Yakuza disco time?
 Shurtal: this KONG is FUNKY
 Chesul: Wait, this is just Simian Says.
 RatherLargeToad: space monkey 5
 GDwarble: Oh yes. "Dancing"
 RandomTrivia: RatherLargeToad 
 Orannis0: there are multiple dance games in sequence here
 Didero: @Chesul Hah 
 PharaohBender27: So it's not clear what the record is labeled as, the closest it looks is something like "Rings of Temptation" - there's a logo partially obscuring the title
 accountmadeforants: Time to break out the DK Konga controller
 accountmadeforants: *bongo
 RandomTrivia: Don't cross the monkey streams
 quasi79fu: my bananans bring alll the monkeys to the yard
 GDwarble: This is a very strange definition of dancing
  TXC2: Conga is a kind of dancing

 RandomTrivia: Chesul

 Didero: We're at least good at breaking
 Zaghrog: Pretty sure all directions were said aloud
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: Is this George Clinton as a macaque?
 protojman: only the one character fell for the down low because the writer knew 
 Didero: "Back in the day"? She's 27!

 RatherLargeToad: it’s the ciiiiiircle of liiiiiife
MTigress: clearly the mother bird struck the snowball

 A_Dub888: “speak friend and enter”

 RandomTrivia: 
 Didero: "frosty streetlight"
MTigress: a frosty streetlight
 BusTed: tastes just like raisins

 TheAinMAP: Frosty streetlight.  I don't know how you do that accidentally.
MTigress: lick the side story?
 quasi79fu: Oh no
 PharaohBender27: "Oh right this is my Chernobyl in space story"
 Orannis0: Mio has her own fucked up childhood sidestory
 TheAinMAP: Was that the reactor Doc Ock was making in "Spider-Man 2"?
 Didero: The first thing we saw in Zoe's Troll World was a tower exploding from being hit by a rock
 RandomTrivia: Cybernetic Farting Pigs would be a great band name
 RandomTrivia: Uh
  TXC2: I feel like transparent screens don't stop stellar explosions 
 Chesul: Very kind of the sun to only damage the screen you're behind.

 Genie_M: It does look awesome
 Coloneljesus: @quasi79fu you know I never wondered about that but that IS a good question
 RandomTrivia: Why does the sun have a manual override?!
 RandomTrivia: Oh it was the elevator
 Tiber727: It's a good thing that a solar pulse only exerts force in a straight line, as opposed to shattering glass and  superheating the air.
 Didero: Mio is mean in her stories
 TheAinMAP: 
  TXC2: that's a lot of people we're watching die 
 RandomTrivia:

 LordZarano: ^
 Didero: Yeah, camera shake seems the indicator
 Zaghrog: ^^

 accountmadeforants: That one was about cleaning the oven that one time
Ignatiuspants: finally, the black hole sun came and washed away the rain
 A_Dub888: Mio parks where she pleases
SaxPython: Even Larger Hadron Collider
 beowuuf: black hole suuun
MTigress: that one was about getting back to the parking meter in time to put more change in
 A_Dub888: created by AI?
 Didero: Try knocking? 
 Genie_M: Now black holes have the same gravity and mass so.... Why the vacuum?

 Didero: "Snare him, Zoe"
 TheMerricat: So chat I haven't been keeping track of jokes we've been making, has anyone mentioned that maybe we can see why these two are still unpublished?

 Didero: Being in a palace of ice when it starts heating up seems dangerous
 HorusFive: Congratulations.  We solved global warming
 HorusFive: No wait
 A_Dub888: I thought the Ice King was more of a penguin person
  TXC2: wouldn't we want the cat to do ice stuff to solve global warming?  
 Genie_M: Abstergo
 RealGamerCow: this studio definitely likes certain animations, they use that "crouch and point" thing a lot
  TXC2: "extracting" is the operative word there
 HorusFive: "just trust me" what you want to hear from your CEO
 accountmadeforants: "You've trusted me with a bajillion dollars already, surely you can keep trusting me?"
Athelgar subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 37 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Athelgar! (Today's storm count: 7)
 HorusFive: Wait, we were supposed to be on MUTE?
 RandomTrivia: "Please stop clipping out of bounds, you're rewriting memory values and breaking our code"
 Didero: If CEOs start promising money, get extra scared
  TXC2: Faustian deal on the table
 lightfut: Just solve problem with money
 A_Dub888: I mean he probably could, but then you’d have new problems to deal with
 accountmadeforants: "I'm gonna give you 1 healthcare's worth of dollars to fuck off"
  TXC2: a publisher can diversify
 lightfut: This guy totally seems benevolent cooperative and helpful
 RandomTrivia: So he's going to incarnate as the final boss, surely, right?

 RandomTrivia: Get some magitech in there
 Orannis0: No spoilers, but yes
 TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/AffluentTrappedMuleRalpherZ-CpU8YTAZvG9UAjAM
 BlueMechanic: they make it seem like science fiction and fantasy writers are opposites when it's usually the same person doing both
 Didero: We ARE only, like, 5 hours in though, the story could take some turns yet
 Didero: Also, since these worlds are based on their imaginations, why can't they just imagine new stuff while they're there?
 PharaohBender27: Maybe he'll try to do a Faustian bargain with Zoe
 Chesul: Call in Colin.
 RandomTrivia: I am 100% expecting Rader to be, or incarnate as, the final boss
