phoenixletmeuseadashd: Glad I finished the game so I can watch this sans spoilers 
ButButTheJesus: @phoenixletmeuseadashd I'm slowly making my way through it, gonna try to stay ahead of them 
seanmrwick: @Juliamon sometimes it's that kind of night and it sounds pretty good actually
 IslandersCaper: 
 hedonistic_mushroom: Hello folks
ButButTheJesus: and baguette with you
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Let's spill some ink
seanmrwick: good day Lrrfolks!
 hedonistic_mushroom: May baguette be with you all
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I can hear your thoughts, everything seems right
 Jillexie: Are we here?
  Sarah_Serinde: never have chat on full blast
ButButTheJesus: am I
seanmrwick: I'm here and I'm clean
 NotCainNorAbel: HI IAN AND HEATHER!
AdamYMHMI: Are our levels a bit low?
 adept_nekomancer: Incapable of and unwilling to stop
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Even if you try to put it off to tomorrow, Tomorrow Comes
 Jillexie: It is.
 Jillexie: Because I am sicko, I am playing it with enemy health at x20.
ButButTheJesus: @Jillexie goodness!
seanmrwick: how goes the timing with the parrying and dodging?
 gibbousm: What Act are you in?
 Jillexie: @ButButTheJesus Without that increase, my build kills things too fast.
 gibbousm: Oh, wow, this is really early Act 1
 gibbousm: oh no
 adept_nekomancer: Oh right, we had recently entered the lake-that-is-not-actually-a-lake
EriVoidswarranties: Hi heather, Hi Ian. This is a rhythm game?
 Laserbeaks_Fury: oh yeah you beat the Burgeon
EriVoidswarranties: Wow, that lady looks like the greatest professional stabbist
EriVoidswarranties: Maelle was recently splattered with blood, or is it a strong fashion choice of expression. The kinda expression that says "I'll absolutely stab you".
 adept_nekomancer: @EriVoidswarranties The combat mechanics are arguably rhythm

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, RandomTrivia! (Today's storm count: 1)
 RandomTrivia: Hi friends! 
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I love the entire Pictos/Lumina system
EriVoidswarranties: @adept_nekomancer Like how? I know there's parrying, but I was impressed that it was merely timing based and not necessarily based on the music of the game.
ButButTheJesus: everybody moooovement
phoenixletmeuseadashd: I hate those things so much
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Dodge it 200 times in a row to unlock Lune's ultimate weapon
SaxPython: 
 Laserbeaks_Fury: It adds weight
ButButTheJesus: oh I got lost in here for a while
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Apparently, some of the big songs lyrics are kinda spoilery if you know french
 RandomTrivia: portmanteau
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Poor Man's Toes
ButButTheJesus: touche
 adept_nekomancer: Oh no, the doot of doom
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Fool! Doom toots as he pleases!
 Kentosaurus: uh oh chromatic dude
SaxPython: He goes around Doot Dootin' 
 RandomTrivia: Mmmmm 
ButButTheJesus:  you too
ButButTheJesus: *you two
 adept_nekomancer: So a troubadour is just a door for your tuba?
 Laserbeaks_Fury: They should unlock when Gustave's tree unlocks
 Jillexie: Breaking Rules
 Jillexie: Yes
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Are we saying "Breaking Rules" as in do crimes, or as in Breaking stuff is totally awesome?
SaxPython: Is that rose the lightbulb on an angler fish...  Couldn't type it fast enough
 Kentosaurus: music in this game is incredible. best since bg3 or alan wake 2.
 NeoGabi shakes her pom poms, cheering you on! 
  s1ck1y: they're gaming out of their MINDS
 NeoGabi: Kick its butt!

 adept_nekomancer: I mean, I guess death would be a heck of a lot different in a world where most people evaporated before they would otherwise die of natural causes.
 EikoandMog: Hi Curator!
 NightValien28: I see several issues with that plan
 Getter404: A potion mule?
 EikoandMog: What happens if you DON'T get hit?
 Geldaran: potion poisoning.
  Juliamon: Until you pass them...
 BrowneePointz: internal glass perforation is BAD
TheGameD0c: and shards of glass in your stomache
 adept_nekomancer: You'd have to put them in, like, water balloons to avoid the glass shards, yes
 EikoandMog: @TheGameD0c Yeah but the healing potion takes care of that.
 SquareDotCube: also you probably have to invent plastic
 Geldaran: he said pourt them into a baggie, geez.
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I would collect 99 Hi-Potions, put them in a safe and never look at them again
 BrowneePointz: Yo Nice Tints is something you COULD yell at someone, but still probably shouldn't
TheGameD0c: @EikoandMog does it though? it might heal the lacerations, but the glass keeps cutting
 EikoandMog: @SquareDotCube ehh, polymers aren't that hard. The real toughie is getting and refining oil.
kusinohki: put all the healing potions in a water soluble pill like a cold capsule and have time release healing
  Juliamon: Healing doesn't stop pain. Continuous healing will still be continuous pain.
ButButTheJesus: it sounded like put the bottles in a baggie
TheGameD0c: ^
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Oil is going to be hard to find in a world where living things just gommage away
 EikoandMog: And now I'm reminded of that one crapshot of getting a DoT and just healing through it.
 Kentosaurus: like their weapons
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Do you think she has a Pick-tos to go with her guitar?
 BrowneePointz: oh snap did Ian enjoy this so much he's been playing it on his own time? (or just watching Cori?)
 EikoandMog: @Laserbeaks_Fury Booooooo

 Fancy_frenchman: It's wild to think how much time has gone by since I found a group of people making funny Magic stuff then finding out they did really cool video games stuff
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Fancy_frenchman! (Today's storm count: 4)
  Juliamon: yes he's also been playing
 adept_nekomancer: I like that there's a menu option for "remember what we were supposed to be doing"
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Channeling Mrs. Doubtfire
 BrowneePointz: They're like...one half Pixies/Brownies and one half Trolls
 EikoandMog: Nailed it.
 BrowneePointz: and All Halves Dorks
PrinceLariel: Love Lune's attack animations
 BrowneePointz: you don't need shoes when you etch magic tattoos into your skin
 Laserbeaks_Fury: "What lovely feet..."
 BrowneePointz: No, but they ARE Squirrelly!
phoenixletmeuseadashd: Ah the most French enemyt
 Laserbeaks_Fury: more like a petaQ, amiright?
 BrowneePointz: Yea when I found out the origin of their names i was like "wow this is french"
 EikoandMog: 
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 1 1
 BrowneePointz: didn't even notice those were petanque balls until way later
 adept_nekomancer: @BrowneePointz That's where I recognize that word from; it was used in Disco Elysium and I didn't recognize the source until you pointed out the connection to the balls!
 RandomTrivia: NINE?!
 RandomTrivia: 
 BrowneePointz: Also of note since the game loves being old school obtuse. When Percee says it does bonus damage to Marked Targets, it mean  a *lot* of bonus damage, even in just Offensive stance and not Virtuose
ButButTheJesus: LETSGOOOO
 accountmadeforants: 
 RandomTrivia: "Fire is always the solution" - good, we've proven that Heather is not an imposter today 
 BrowneePointz: I english'd that weird. I think my brain broke
 Getter404: Banged my knee on the desk, leg swapping would be appreciated
 vinewood_og: With my legs, or a friend's legs? This question has come up before.
 LordZarano: !findquote fire

 BrowneePointz: There will be things to Sack. Maybe even a Patate or two
 Jillexie: A Sack of Potatoes
 BrowneePointz: Woah woah, SOME Gestrals are smart, they're just capricious and impulsive!
 BrowneePointz: Oh no wonder Ian likes Gestrals. They Pilot Soft Doll Gundams
 BrowneePointz: Ian killed a Gestral Gundam and is now using its body as a sword
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Potatana
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Just strapping a cannon on their arm like Megatron
TheGameD0c: track is so good
 Laserbeaks_Fury: That the 4th wall braking
 accountmadeforants: By the power of Greyskull!
 Laserbeaks_Fury: They do get 5 Ap in the settlement after, though
 accountmadeforants: I do love that the gestrals always manage to get a last hit in
 Laserbeaks_Fury: They learned that move from Dva
 accountmadeforants: Ah, the weapon I used for the entire game
 accountmadeforants: Real "tis but a scratch!" energy from that "En garde!"
 Laserbeaks_Fury: also, I love all healing it % based
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Sometimes they're in a box
 BrowneePointz: He is pretty Support-Y
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I found giving Lune some speed so she goes before Maelle helped
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I swear Maelle says "Sod off!"
 Laserbeaks_Fury: 3 kids in a Sakapatate
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Equie plushie now
ButButTheJesus: eskwho
ButButTheJesus: don't tell me I haven't gotten there
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Has Trebushim always had that Sakapatate face on it?
 accountmadeforants: Oh yeah, games love swapping around the dodge and interact buttons
 Getter404: A fake hole, or Fauxle
 Getter404: faux -le
 accountmadeforants: @Laserbeaks_Fury Yes, unless my memory is faulty, but I pretty much exclusively used Trebuchim so I'm pretty sure
 accountmadeforants: Lune on a Segway
 NightValien28: MORE invincible
ButButTheJesus: its more specialer
 EikoandMog: Astro Bot makng a cameo.i
ButButTheJesus: Be! Offensive! B! E! Offensive!
jwholla: this is my first time seeing the game. wow this looks gorgeous
 accountmadeforants: @jwholla Oh yeah, it's absolutely stunning. I regularly had a "holy shit... video games" moment
 EikoandMog: 
 accountmadeforants: Ultimate Sakapatate truly is a weapon to surpass the previous Sakapatate
 Jillexie: I wonder what the Penultimate Sakapatate was like.
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Getting to Counterattack in Vitruose is so good
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Risky Medium sounds like a 80's raunchy comedy
 EikoandMog: The canon timing is basically "Exactly when it fires"
ButButTheJesus: fire ftw
 Getter404: When in doubt, assume everything is flamable
 Laserbeaks_Fury: Maybe the tooltip for getting stunned
 Laserbeaks_Fury: S
 accountmadeforants: S
 EikoandMog: There's an S but that's at postgame.
 EikoandMog: Yep.
 Laserbeaks_Fury: I never saw past S
Morrigan9: eventually S
 accountmadeforants: @EikoandMog Some weapons have S scaling pretty early, I think
 Laserbeaks_Fury: From what I understand, you have to be Jay-Z to get beyond C
ButButTheJesus: @Laserbeaks_Fury 
 Getter404: my large adult dudes
 accountmadeforants: Hm, actually, never mind, they just have A very early and then stay that way until the post-game point
