TheAinMAP:
mtvcdm: hi
TXC2: Here we GO
TXC2: Hello Paul and Heather
TheAinMAP:
Hello 
TehAmelie: ahoy
jessicaengle: Hi gaming friends
mtvcdm: Today the fiction is that we or anything is real
Snowcookies: hello!
TXC2: Sadimals ?
Snowcookies: Meg's Monster
jessicaengle: Happy Animal Crossing
TXC2:
or that game that was literally the 5 stages of grief 
accountmadeforants: We found our hole and stayed there
TXC2: !addquote (Heather) [now] I just assume we're the problem, mostly because I try to be the problem.

bytecaster: That feels very Ian
TheMerricat:
The Yakuza method 
adept_nekomancer: The last HP may be the only one that matters, but the other ones are nice to have too
TXC2:
Heather uses health potions BEFORE the final boss 
accountmadeforants:
His health management is also very different from mine, in that he healed at all, rather than stay at 1 HP forever for the boosts from a bunch of pictos 
accountmadeforants: (My squad was *constantly* covered in blood, it was hilarious.)
accountmadeforants: Right in front of the hole
TXC2: this is basically a black mirror, only less pretentious (if you can believe it)
Snowcookies: you don't get to experience a virtual world while your ideas get sucked into a machine? gasp!
accountmadeforants: It's what someone from the 1980's would imagine if you told them about the existence of a "Plagiarism Machine" in the far future of 202X.
TXC2: *black mirror episode
jessicaengle: uhhh
jessicaengle:
TXC2: "if we're so stupid, why are we the one's whose data you're copying?"
TXC2: we're in "safe mode"
Didero: Good evening!
TXC2: hello Didero welcome
accountmadeforants: If you've got two problems, tie them together! That way you've only got one big problem!
TehAmelie: hmm i can't tell if this is a sci-fi or fantasy world
Marvoleath: two totally opposite genres, fiction and fiction
Didero: Instead of spending 20 years writing mediocre fiction, he's spent 20 years trying to steal mediocre fiction
Jedi_Master_Zell: You make a machine to read people's minds and *this* is what you do with it?
mtvcdm: Did he literally just call us noobs
bytecaster: "The singularity" or something
accountmadeforants: Just scrape fanfiction dot net, ao3 and a bunch of epub torrents like a normal shitbag.
adept_nekomancer: "Your farting pig story is the last piece I need for world domination!"
Didero: Zoe seemed to be enjoying herself before Mio invaded
bytecaster: Surely there is no trauma in the mind reading machine
TXC2: the knife of hubris cuts deeply
Didero: The game is pretty quiet
JessieImproved: This is so Sailor Moon
mtvcdm: This is 100% Sailor Moon
bytecaster: All of this is just in her mind
TXC2: and yet she doesn't like Sci fi?
adept_nekomancer: Egg dispenser
TheAinMAP:
TXC2: I can't help but notice one was red and the other blue
accountmadeforants: May I offer you this trial of eggs in this time
Didero: @accountmadeforants Heh
TehAmelie: that's what you do, split your eggs in two baskets so if you drop one it can respawn

mtvcdm: egg
bytecaster: I don't think Rader is powerful enough to stop AO3
TheAinMAP: Maybe that's the plan for later.
Didero: Plus there's millions of people he's not stealing from
bytecaster: Techbros like to overpromise
mtvcdm: Yeah, he built a plagiarism machine. It still doesn't make new stuff.
couchboyj: Like, you would think the tech to put you in your own imagination would be enough. Why he wants to use that to write shitty novels and movie scriots seems a bit backwards.
TheAinMAP:
Didero: Yeah, I heard that too
TehAmelie: many millennials died to brings us this information
Sarah_Serinde: Unfortunately 20-year-olds are no longer millennials
TXC2:
Millennials are all 30+ now
Sarah_Serinde: they're like...5 years too late for that
Didero: But Mio is 21 and Zoe is 27 years old
Mangledpixel: millenials had their 'formative years' around the millenium, not born then
bytecaster: Maybe it's just a very big Wyvern
JessieImproved: 4 legs and wings, dragon
TXC2:
JessieImproved technically an insect then
mtvcdm: I think it's you die until the other player can reach a place where they can safely bring you back.
JessieImproved: @TXC2 That's settled, dragon canonically a beetle
Didero: I do like that it respawns you close to the other player, rather than where you died
mtvcdm: I mean, most infrastructure to be fair is not rated for dragon rampage
Snowcookies: maybe the backtrcking is in case you wanna go back to sidestories
Chesul: @TXC2 no exoskeleton.
Didero: She called it a Megalith
TehAmelie: there's always a last dragon
TehAmelie: *thinks fondly of Dark Souls*
TXC2:
Chesul maybe the scales give rigidity?
Chesul: @TXC2 we've seen ones skeleton.
Didero: I'm gonna assume there's more than 3
BrowneePointz: ope a bit late
adept_nekomancer: So is this an egg timer?
Didero: @BrowneePointz You haven't missed too much, we're in a Zoe story about dragons being extinct; they're carrying the last two dragon eggs
Didero: @adept_nekomancer Excellent
Marvoleath: Eggscellent?
BrowneePointz: I'm a lil bummed I missed the last stream. My first watch through of this game was enjoying the kind of goofy on the nose romp, and then I was woefully unprepared for the events of the prior level
Didero: "Eggtastic"? "Eggcellent" is right there, Zoe! No wonder she's unpublished
Marvoleath: it was right there, why
BrowneePointz: as someone who went through similar things semi-recently losing a parent to cancer that level sucker punched me incredibly hard emotionally in a way I wasn't ready for
mtvcdm: The egg dimension, where everything is egg
TXC2:
BrowneePointz 
Marvoleath: are dragons marsupials in this world?
Didero: "She"? Zoe is a dragon-sexer now?
TheAinMAP:
BrowneePointz: @TXC2 one of those "haha this wacky game" *randy orton emotional RKO out of nowhere*
Sarah_Serinde:
I mean Zoe wrote these dragons so she probably knows 
TXC2: BrowneePointz well put
Didero: At least Zoe's twin sister is probably just estranged, and not ill
Marvoleath: I assume you cant paddle the other way?
TheAinMAP: That'll buff out.
Marvoleath: to slow down
Amboss2: can't we adopt this dragon as well? Its so cute
Sarah_Serinde: she "grew up" and doesn't like fantasy anymore or something
BrowneePointz: Turns out your Twin Sister stopped liking dragons and became a flat earther
Chesul: Shouldn't have said you're "in the clear"
tryllebanjo: Welp!
adept_nekomancer: Bonked the wall too enthusiastically
Marvoleath: @BrowneePointz she's into Discworld now?
TXC2: !addquote (Paul) [now] If you're ever wondering, We can always explode."
LRRbot: New quote #9337: "If you're ever wondering, We can always explode."" —Paul [2025-06-23]
TXC2: I wonder if that was "supposed to lose" QTE
Chesul: It was falling with style!
mtvcdm: Falling with style
BrowneePointz: welp they definitely played Mario Odyssey
BrowneePointz: yes
BrowneePointz: cuz it looks like dragon scales
Didero:
Now your dragon is so full it can't glide anymore
Didero: Or clawing the backpack
IanAllenBird: lmaooo
adept_nekomancer: Swim, yes. Swim quickly enough, no.
wordnerdify: quite the riptide
TehAmelie: a new type of videogame water: it doesn't kill you directly
TXC2:
dragons made of lithium
Orannis0: Peer-reviewed dragon murder
roastbeefsandwitch: fun platforming, terribly designed world for getting around. par for the course
Didero:
Twitch taking 18 years to save a clip again 
Didero:
Oh, I only just saw the going-live toot. I'm gonna be studying the LRR Streaming Checklist later
TXC2: 1: Can you pet the dog? 2: can you swim?
BrowneePointz: SSX TRICKY
BrowneePointz: LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
TehAmelie: i wonder if there's any fantasy book out there that involves this much plaform puzzle solving
mtvcdm: It's tricky to rock on time
TheAinMAP: It would've fun to bring the dragons along here.
adept_nekomancer: Dropship snowboarding?
TehAmelie: (or SF)
Didero: Do a barrel roll!
TehAmelie: okay wall riding with a snowboard, that's new
mtvcdm: Did they really make up new names for all the tricks
TehAmelie: hoverboard the size of a snowboard, whatevs
TXC2: mtvcdm seems like
mtvcdm: Get that drillbazzer into a floor sixin
Wizzo1138: Gleaming the cube!
TehAmelie: are there any other gaseous slides?
Didero:
Mio did play a lot of Tony Hawk, but not enough to memorize the names of the tricks
TehAmelie: kinda wanna do a Krypton slide into Ssuperman
bytecaster: Mio loved cool boarders on the PS1
mtvcdm: Oh man, the hard yakka, I haven't seen that since the 20XX Gloober Cup
TehAmelie: haven't heard anyone say "rad" out loud since, hmm, Tony Hawk 1 era
TXC2: didn't ubisoft or someone make a new SSX game 4 or 5 years ago?
Marvoleath: "you lose points for dying" seems like a terrible rule to implement in things like olympics btw
bytecaster: I don't think this track is actually safe, maybe
Didero: @bytecaster Eh, nobody's died on it yet... permanently, anyway
FinestOtter: So like what was the story that she wrote for this?
bytecaster: @FinestOtter Maybe it was more just a cool idea than a story
TehAmelie: extreme sports exec: would it be legal to "award" points for dying?
bytecaster: A little sad that the dragons couldn't join us in the fun
TXC2: the "side stories" are more like setting ideas Mio and Zoe tossed about
Ignatiuspants: "Falling off the track here will result in a 1000-poiny deduction from your final score, followed by death"
TheDevil_Risen: dammit twitch why u not tell me ths is live?
TheDevil_Risen: heya Paul, Heather
TheDevil_Risen: heya @TXC2
TXC2: hello TheDevil_Risen welcome
adept_nekomancer: @Ignatiuspants It's not the death that gets you, it's the taxes
TheDevil_Risen:
just finished act 3 in PoE 1 @TXC2
Didero: @TheDevil_Risen That's one reason I use Chatty, it shows a notification within minutes when a stream you follow goes live,
TXC2: TheDevil_Risen neat
TheDevil_Risen: yeah first full playthrough
TehAmelie: those are some great stones for skipping. i often have to settle for anything with one flat surface
TheDevil_Risen: im about 10 levels over content tho (sidequest junkie)
BrowneePointz: Annular rocks
BrowneePointz: or toroid
Didero: Say what you will about Zoe, that woman can WRITE a flat rock
BrowneePointz: you usually find them on riverbanks
TheDevil_Risen: omg cute little dragons!
bytecaster: @Didero One page of that story is just describing how FLAT those rocks were
Chesul: @TheDevil_Risen that's fine, the content will catch up to you before the end.
TheDevil_Risen:
@Chesul ahh k cool 
TheDevil_Risen: @Chesul is it me or is it hard to find clear info on some things (like crafting)
TXC2: can always trust Heather to do the science
mtvcdm: It's always good to find out whether today's water is something you can swim in or whether it will kill you immediately
TheDevil_Risen:
TXC2:
some Katakana
LordZarano: ㇱ
mtvcdm: There was that one bit where Mio said 'I don't remember writing this' last time out so we might be seeing more of Rader inserting outside things into these
Chesul: @TheDevil_Risen It's tricky, yeah. that's a product of how many ways there are to craft things. crafting in PoE is something that takes dozens of hours to figure out more than the super basics, there are full tutorials on youtube if you want, but if you're not super into it I suggest not bothering until you're deep in the endgame.
TXC2: LordZarano exactly, thank you
adept_nekomancer: I see banana, bowl of noodles, bow and arrow...
TheDevil_Risen: hahahaha
bytecaster: Can't wait for the inevitable: "Soup, soup SOUP!"
TehAmelie: triangle with hat if you have to be specific
TXC2: sad p = b ?
TheDevil_Risen: @Chesul yeah i've made a few decent things but i end up wasting a ton of jeweller's orbs tyring to get the right sockets on stuff to equip my gems
mtvcdm: !advice
LRRbot: Press UP for Laser.
Marvoleath: If your pee is sad, contact your doctor
TXC2:
Marvoleath I would but it takes to long
TheDevil_Risen: we got there chat!
TheDevil_Risen:
well done
TehAmelie: happy pee is probably not that healthy either
Didero: but doctor, I AM pee-gliacci
Chesul: @TheDevil_Risen Oof, yeah, I suggest not bothering with Jewlers Orbs, you can find reasonable gear with 4 sockets through gameplay and anything above 4 takes a lot of orbs.
bytecaster: Dragon upgrade?!?
TheDevil_Risen:
@Chesul ahh k thanks
Marvoleath: dragon soup!
bytecaster: Dragons grow up fast
TheAinMAP: They grow up so fast.
TheDevil_Risen: oo baby dragons got upgrades!
adept_nekomancer: Dragon-powered onsen
Marvoleath: they started as just egg, @TheDevil_Risen
bytecaster: Yes
TehAmelie: growing like yoshis
TheAinMAP: Behind the waterfall.
TheDevil_Risen: on today
bytecaster: Everybody knows, dragons cannot double jump
TXC2: all saddles are uncomfortable
TheDevil_Risen: 's episode of how to train your dragon
TehAmelie: yeah those heads remind me of a motorbike i saw with an impaling spike on the steering wheel
TXC2: gotta go fast
TehAmelie: keeps you from going too fast maybe
bytecaster: Someone play the Sonic music
TheDevil_Risen:
sonic the dragon
TXC2: we've combined sonic and spyro to create the ultimate 90's console mascot
TehAmelie: red dragon, blue dragon, are we about to invent firebending?
LordZarano: Spyronic
Didero:
And your dragon has too!
bytecaster: Ball is life!
TXC2: "it's not so much indigestion as outdigestion"
bytecaster: Some metals are more acid resistant, it makes sense
BusTed: ancient rocket league...
TheAinMAP:
TehAmelie: breaking stuff, that's a dragon's specialty
TXC2:
why is the realm always dying?
Didero: @TXC2 Because so was Zoe's relationship with her sister
bytecaster: The paper lanterns yearn to be free
TXC2: Didero damn
TehAmelie: Hitchcock observed movies are like life without the boring parts
TehAmelie: the realm is always dying when we get into the story for the same reason
BusTed: candy corn
Amboss2: What did I miss? Did the dragons eat our previous characters?
shushu2539: trying to focus one eye on each side
TXC2: Amboss2 no, we raised them from eggs
Ignatiuspants: They are riding the dragons now
Chesul: I think there was a second rout that you missed that would have gotten you to those hoops.
Didero: @Amboss2 Zoe and Mio had to protect some dragon eggs, they hatched into tiny dragons, and then grew up into these big dragons
Amboss2:
oh they are riding them. Cute 
Didero: Red is taking the Blue route, I think
TXC2:
shushu2539 I find I'm mostly watching Heather's side, 'cause that's closer to chat
TehAmelie: what if we had acid instead of water for those games? hose the target with acid dunk the clown in acid. nothing harmful, but just for a little sting
thetoastmonster: dragopault.
TehAmelie: lemon juice probably
TheAinMAP:
TXC2: TehAmelie I was thinking that combined with tomato juice
TehAmelie: a tomato juice rinse would probably be comfortable
TXC2: it could be both Mio
TehAmelie: name, occupation. . .race?
Chesul: I'm pretty sure those hoops were the path intended for Paul, but he took the path for Heather instead.
TheDevil_Risen: keep rollin' rollin' rollin'
TehAmelie: joke's on him, we're totally immortal
Amboss2: Feast upon foolishness? If only we could
TXC2: if defiance prolongs my suffering, why are YOU complaining about it?
TehAmelie: why does nobody ever lie down and die when you tell them
Chesul: you seem to move a lot slower when using the acid breath.
An_Owl_At_What: Omg I just got here and Heather and Paul are tiny dragons. This is amazing
TheDevil_Risen: VA is Joseph Capp or Elgar'Nan from DA:Veilguard and Golbez from FF14 End Walker
TehAmelie: they're riding horse sized dragons to be accurate
TehAmelie: well, pretty large horses
An_Owl_At_What: Oh! Now I see the riders on top. Still very happy to see cute dragons
TehAmelie: they are mega cute
adept_nekomancer: Hella corn
JessieImproved: Hellicorn, an evil My LIttle Pony race
7gorobei: jelly corn, gummy alternative to candy corn
TheAinMAP: Zoe said this was his General.
BrowneePointz: the dragon is no longer a dragon
Didero: This is the Megalith's general
BrowneePointz: it eschewed its dragon-ness
Didero: I thought
TehAmelie: alicorn maybe? that's the material of unicorn horn, but whyever would he say that
couchboyj: The big dragon has underlings iirc
qrpth: !advice
qrpth: !advice
LRRbot: End the Alpha.
TehAmelie: hmm at least i think that will make a serviceable mnemonic. the two player game devs have an ambiguous name that can be read two ways
Sarah_Serinde: Thanks qrpth for resummoning LRRbot
beowuuf: cool music
TehAmelie: did he died?
TXC2: suddenly: music
beowuuf: this pif just go REAL
TXC2: and we're back
beowuuf: o/
TheDevil_Risen: wb
TheDevil_Risen: o/
TheAinMAP: Bring the dragons into the side stories.
BrowneePointz: rubber ducky? you're the one? you make bathtime, lots of fun?
Chesul: Spaaaace!
TehAmelie: the acid breath is nice cause you can never screw up by melting something that can be melted
TheAinMAP:
NonjaBiru: The one place not ruined by Capitalism?
BusTed: does seem that way
JessieImproved: A little funny that they seem to be able to jump incredibly high but walk/run normally
TehAmelie: something something magnet boots
Chesul: magboots maybe?
JessieImproved: I wonder if you could fine-tune magnet boots to give you just enough grip to walk but not too much to hinder your jump
Cptasparagus: In space, noone can hear you meme
TehAmelie: i liked that in The Expanse, where they have experienced spacers turning their magboots on and off without a thought
BrowneePointz: I mean, struggling writer dealing with medical debt and slowly losing their only parent/best friend KIND of makes you feel like the world is out to get you
mwlsn: swim while you scrim
BrowneePointz: ask me how I know
TXC2: I wonder if it's possible to swim in water in zero-G
JessieImproved: @TehAmelie That's a good point I'm like 5 books in to the Expanse
bytecaster: Why don't we give astronauts double jumps?
Tehbeard: They'd just spend time hook shotting around the ISS instead of doing science.
CraziestOwl: what’s with all the lasers
quasi79fu: has Paul noticed how muffled the game sound became in this level
quasi79fu: i love that attention to detail
TheDevil_Risen: the force of the hook would cause reward motion
TehAmelie: @TXC2 should work about as usual, your strokes displace much more water backwards than forwards
TXC2: TehAmelie neat
CaptainSpam: Now, MASH Y TO CALM YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!
Marvoleath: without atmospheric pressure the water would boil very easily though
accountmadeforants: Gotta negative edge the panic button to not panic
TXC2: Marvoleath I'm assuming the water is inside a ship
bytecaster: So its realistic!
TehAmelie: if you're going through a floating bubble of water some of it will still come forward with you. . .maybe less than gets shot to the sides
Marvoleath: there would need to be something pushing on top of it or it would aerolize, but if it would be in like a pipe, then yea
bytecaster: Hey! How dare
accountmadeforants:
Simply become an astronaut 
iris_of_ether: Ouch
Snowcookies: science and math is not for everyone
beowuuf: astronot -applyingyourself
Arkroma subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 48 months!
Arkroma: Have a great day Paul and Heather
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Arkroma! (Today's storm count: 4)
TXC2: be one of the 12 people who've been to the moon, and were allergic to it
accountmadeforants:
Well hey, maybe the sci-fi writer gig is just her path to somehow becoming rich and important enough to join a private spaceflight. About as likely as becoming a regular astronaut 
BrowneePointz: the Crash Bandicoot run?
TXC2:
well there goes my theory of dead sister
TehAmelie: i remember a national lottery in about 2000 had the grand prize of going on a spaceflight. that got really popular, though no one won
Sarah_Serinde: totally out of our hands
gsyhiap: It's clearly the ball's fault
Snowcookies: no piranhas in this water
TXC2: passive voice: it become blow up
TehAmelie: what if we add acid to the water? :3
Marvoleath: dragons are basically cats, that checks out
Marvoleath: @TehAmelie better than the other way
TehAmelie: yeah we'd have to test the acid breath both from above and under the water for science
TXC2: I think it's a case of what's the most terrifying thing? a cat that flies and breaths fire
TehAmelie: though i'm gonna guess it doesn't do anything funny
accountmadeforants: I like how it just decides not to auto-aim
accountmadeforants: Wait, so Paul's dragon has the ability to fly and spit acide, and Heather's dragon can... bump into things and roll?
accountmadeforants: This does not seem like a fair distribution of draconic powers
Marvoleath: @accountmadeforants Heather's also climbs
accountmadeforants: @Marvoleath Okay, but like, so can a human
Chesul: wait, given that it comes from a dragons mouth, is that just a dragon version of a hairball?
Marvoleath: imagine dragons shedding scale like cats shed hair
Marvoleath: and making scale-balls
TXC2: accountmadeforants humans can walk, still uses horses
TehAmelie: often dragons get their breath attack from eating things they can't digest, checks out
iris_of_ether: Yeah that's how it works for the fire dragon in Delicious in Dungeon
accountmadeforants: And the swamp dragons in Discworld. Though those can also just explode
TehAmelie: my favorite is some story i don't remember where dragons just don't poop but breathe out severely decomposed meat instead
TXC2:
there
JosephDeath: We heard you like Dragons so we put Dragons on your Dragons
TehAmelie: sort of anticlimactic
Marvoleath: if your dragon cant fly, just land it on another dragon, simple
TXC2:
we're like uber reinventing the bus
accountmadeforants: It's the CEO way
Sarah_Serinde:
so a childhood one maybe
Snowcookies: TEETH!
Orannis0: Oh hey, we found Mio's pig story
AnimeKitty:
TehAmelie: i wanna ride a dragon ferry where you can park your personal dragon and go shopping
Didero: I thought they were marshmallow people
Ignatiuspants: teeth!
Snowcookies: Is that a toothpaste toupee?
Sarah_Serinde: yup, I'm sure there will be no existential dread here whatsoever
bytecaster: @Snowcookies It's our toothpaste hair, thank you very much
TXC2: Snowcookies a toothpeé ?
Marvoleath: why do they have t-rex arms
Genie_M: "nice to see a sweeter side of you"
A_Dub888: Hello, friends how split is our fiction?
TehAmelie: is it a ground thwomp or. . .chomp?
TXC2: hello A_Dub888 we're teeth
Didero: Ok, I had to go do a thing, but I'm glad I returned just in time for this
A_Dub888:
@TXC2
Bruceski: That face it's the book!
TehAmelie: toothpaste won't protect the teeth from all this sweet
TXC2: i'd say this is incredible for a 5 year old
Didero: Hard not to like googly eyes
A_Dub888: @TXC2 you’re incredible
Didero:
@A_Dub888 For a 5-year old?
A_Dub888: Look
Snowcookies:
you might need to see a dentist
bytecaster: @Didero I don't know how old you are so maybe!
TehAmelie: so she wrote this when she was 5 after playing Fall Guys?
TXC2:
bytecaster I'm 36
Didero: @bytecaster I'm at an age where I'm also not entirely sure anymore how old I am
Sarah_Serinde: custard maybe?
bytecaster: @TXC2 You are incredible for a 36 year old
Marvoleath: pudding / custard
Didero: Hey, I'm 36 too, at least for a few more days
A_Dub888: @Snowcookies didn’t Steve Martin, in Little Shop of Horrors, sing about how dentists are sadists
A_Dub888: ?
Didero: Somehow I always imagine other people here as younger than me
Genie_M: Younglings 😁
TehAmelie: i mean we all know Junji Ito
AugmentingPath: my favorite brand, "I cannot confirm or deny if it's butter"
accountmadeforants: Wasn't there a small Kirby game that's just this?
bytecaster: This has strong rare game for the N64 energy
Didero: @accountmadeforants Oh yeah, I remember LRR playing some sort of competitive Kirby game on a cake
accountmadeforants: Okay, yeah, I was thinking of Kirby's Dream Buffet
protojman: cherry picked a good one for ya
bytecaster: Oh, no, don't look at the sun
Sarah_Serinde: amazing
IanAllenBird: oh no
accountmadeforants: Here comes the sun OOoooOOOooO
bytecaster: I worry that the music is getting more distorted
Didero: we psychonauts now
Didero: My dentist never brushed my teeth for me
TXC2: psychonauts level twist
Snowcookies: ahhhh!
TXC2:
as a child, my dentist didn't where gloves
TXC2: so I relate to this
TehAmelie: i wonder if the dentist also had nightmares about this
Marvoleath:
he seemed weirdly into it for a moment 
bytecaster: This is great
Sarah_Serinde:
it's kinda great though
Genie_M: This is actually disturbing
accountmadeforants: Yeah, this is rad
TheDevil_Risen: man this section is bassy
IanAllenBird: uhoh
Snowcookies: omg
TheDevil_Risen: get piting needled
Marvoleath: did Mio murder her dentist? D:
BrowneePointz: okay but its throat looks like its designed to take that drill
Sarah_Serinde:
Marvoleath: as a 5yo
TehAmelie: "is it safe?"
Geisterkarle: and thats how dentestry works!
shushu2539: i'll never go to the dentist again
Snowcookies: As a 5-year-old? I hope not
TehAmelie: if your teeth hurt bad enough. . .
IanAllenBird: there's a specific character in little shop of horrors who disagrees
accountmadeforants: Dang I just got toothbrushes and toothpicks
BrowneePointz: i got stickers
Invitare: that's good long term business strategy
Snowcookies: I had a dentist give me money to buy ice cream while my dad was getting his teeth checked once
Didero: I once had a retention wire stab me in the tongue, and it still took me a few days to work up the nerve to call a dentist
bytecaster: Turt!
beowuuf:
Marvoleath: Fran-fran!
Didero: Is that how you pronounce 'tortoise'? I thought it was more like 'tortus'
ScrapyardGhostTrain: I got a gold star sticker from my dentist last year, because we were joking about it.
Marvoleath: @Didero it's like blastoise
TXC2: Didero I think it's one of those US vs UK things
Chesul: the dragons are probably immune to fire, buy your squishy human bodies, probably not.
bytecaster: Cannot wait for loot to drop and this turn into Diablo
BrowneePointz: Drakeablo?
TehAmelie: i'd play a Diablo where you're a dragon
bytecaster: The turt is a finance bro
BrowneePointz: what a terra-pinhead thing to do turt
accountmadeforants: In all fairness, I can't see dragons really figuring out an economy
Didero: This game is consistently very pretty
TehAmelie: why are there never crystal things with metal cores?
accountmadeforants: Are we sure the turtle collapsed it, or was it all the undeclared hoards and lairs?
bytecaster: @accountmadeforants Yeah, imagine having an economy where everybody just wants to hoard as much wealth as possible, ... wait
Invitare: they don't have opposable thumbs
A_Dub888:
not slow, patient 
Didero: Why does removing the weight make the bridge drop? Seems like it should work the other way around
accountmadeforants: @bytecaster Maybe the turtle's only mistake was giving the dragons too many tax exemptions and subsidies
7gorobei: the dragons wanted t-bonds, the turtle misheard and got t-bone steaks
bytecaster: Feet, on stream? For free?
TheDevil_Risen: hahahah
TehAmelie: never seen a dragon with gold teeth before, but now it seems like an obvious thing for a gold hoarder
bytecaster: Classic Sen's fortress
TehAmelie: first try!
TheDevil_Risen:
Genie_M: Neat!
accountmadeforants: What if we're just dragons trying to evade taxes
bytecaster: The dentist had 4 arms
A_Dub888: What is this, Kingdom Hearts' Guard Armor?
gsyhiap: 'When you said you were a hundred feet tall, I didn't mean you meant literal feet...'
TehAmelie: it's getting a little weird that ALL the obstacles that require both your powers need acid first, then bonks
Tiber727: The shoe isn't on the other foot, because it's been melted.
bytecaster: @TehAmelie That is kinda how armor just works?
Didero: @TehAmelie Since it's 'Ella' that has the acid power, maybe it means that she was the leader of the two, and Zoe was the follower?
TehAmelie: and armor propped in front of crystals, and crystal eggs covered in steel. . .
accountmadeforants: @TehAmelie Honestly I think Paul's dragon is trying to make Heather's dragon feel like it's helping by not doing the bonk itself
TheDevil_Risen: dragon socer!
TheDevil_Risen: hahaha #OutOfContext
TheDevil_Risen:
gsyhiap: you're 90% released, you can sort yourself out now right?
TehAmelie: a non-bopper
TheDevil_Risen: at least when their spinning
TXC2: can you pull or twist him ?
bytecaster: Oh, we are playing Beyblade now!
bytecaster: This phase is rough
AugmentingPath: explosions only hurt when the explosive is moving fast
accountmadeforants: This is like that bullfighting board game
Garfy400: Take that Lavos!
bytecaster: I would be mad if you smashed my head too
gsyhiap: No head, only beyblade
roastbeefsandwitch: @accountmadeforants or bullfighting-for-terrible-ice cream skit on the recent LRR Live
TXC2: wikipedia says it's "tor-toy-zuh"
gsyhiap:
Didero: Mio did say 'tortus'
TehAmelie: gold-boiled turtle soup? how decadent
Geisterkarle: that is your answer what to do with a turtle on its back???
BrowneePointz: Sic Semper Turtrannis
BrowneePointz: or what's the latin word for turtle. Chelania?
TXC2: "a crown for a king!"
Tiber727: Wait, how were the girls riding the dragon while they were carrying that?
bytecaster: Are our dragon upgrading again?
TehAmelie: noo they'll be too big to ride
bytecaster: Water was deadly, but molten gold is FINE?!?
Coloneljesus: @TehAmelie no worries
TheAinMAP:
Invitare: shouldn't that be really hot?
Coloneljesus: convenient scabbard
BrowneePointz: A solid gold sword WOULD be lighter than steel
bytecaster: No lickies!
Marvoleath: @BrowneePointz isnt gold heavier?
TXC2: BrowneePointz it's gold denser then iron?
BrowneePointz: I thought gold was lighter than iron. or is it just more pliable
TehAmelie: it's very soft and very heavy
Marvoleath: it's softer iirc
Snowcookies: I think they're both girl dragons
Astramentha: U have to check the cloaca
Marvoleath: but hevier
TXC2: BrowneePointz it melts at a much lower temp then Iron
gsyhiap: They're whatever the dragons say they are...
BrowneePointz: ah yea it's denser than iron but softer
BrowneePointz: cuz Chemistry >.>
BrowneePointz: my bad
BrowneePointz: so heavier than a steel sword AND worse at being a sword
TXC2: BrowneePointz fancy looking though
TehAmelie: on a school trip in 9th grade we were offered a gold bar worth i think $8000, if anyone could lift it from the floor one handed.
bytecaster: @BrowneePointz Yeah, but the sword is also part tortoise, so maybe that helps?
Genie_M: Convenient color coding
TheAinMAP: Attack its weak point.
roastbeefsandwitch: getting huge Owl House vibes here. Anyone seen that great finale?
TXC2: gold picks can break obsidian right? (in minecraft)
Didero:
@roastbeefsandwitch I don't think Zoe is a good enough writer to write a finale like that
BrowneePointz: Idk Zoe seems twee and cottage core enough to write that finale
A_Dub888: @Didero Stomping out a literal blob of hate?
bytecaster: Do a barrel roll!
mowdownjoe: FALCON KICK
Snowcookies: @TXC2 gold pickaxes are basically stone pickaxes with less durability and faster speed iirc
Sacrenos subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 110 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Sacrenos! (Today's storm count: 5)
7gorobei: this seems like a better version of panzer dragoon
TXC2:
Snowcookies ah darn
lyriumveined: That dive would have absolutely pulverized a rider
Sarah_Serinde: you can break obsidian with your fists in minecraft, it just takes a really long time
roastbeefsandwitch: did Zoe think about writing a SADDLE into this idea? So gravity affects you less?
TehAmelie: what is it, about 5 or 10 minutes
BrowneePointz: It's a better version of Panzer Dragoon by just existing
Didero: And bird-eating kitties
Didero: Zoe was pretty aggressive about Ice King
accountmadeforants: Wasn't Zoe the one who didn't want to do the jump from that one dropship?
TheAinMAP:
bytecaster: Zoe doesn't know how to write fall damage
TXC2: why parachutes when you can just not have fall damage
A_Dub888: @TXC2 galaxy brain
Didero: hold on to hope
TheDevil_Risen: thought it was the deathwing fight
roastbeefsandwitch: falling into endless void
accountmadeforants: Now we're symbiotic with the big dragon, clearing up its skin issue!
BrowneePointz: at this size? Nah this is Gore Magala Monster Hunter or Spine of Deathwing World of Warcraft! Let's GOOOO
BrowneePointz: err not gore magala
BrowneePointz: Zorah Magdros
bytecaster: Are we going inside the megalith?
bytecaster: Nope
A_Dub888: @BrowneePointz WHERE'S MY DRAGONATOR
BusTed: crystal vermin
TheDevil_Risen: spine of deathwing for sure
GhostValv: definitely getting spine of deathwing vibes
TehAmelie: i think Cloverfield established giant monsters just get to have dog-sized minions at will
accountmadeforants: I think explosions have killed you the most
A_Dub888: Explosions don't kill people, the things explosions throw kill people (or something like that)
BusTed: maybe walls of some sort
Orannis0: Maybe the black dragon is just upset because he has sharp crystals constantly sprouting from his body
Snowcookies:
I think teamwork killed you the most
BusTed: damn
BusTed: brutal
TheDevil_Risen: just a casual eye of nidhogg
Didero: Gnarly
TXC2:
Explosions don't kill people, sudden overpressure caused by explosions kill people
TehAmelie: this is your brain on acid
TheDevil_Risen: Estinian eat your heart out
A_Dub888: but is this podracing?
TheDevil_Risen: k baiii
BusTed: oops
TheDevil_Risen: o7
Didero: The devs just asked everybody in the office what their favourite games were, and they just added all of them into this one
Chesul: Whoop. XD
7gorobei: always be clinging
Tiber727: Flashbacks to the giant's axe.
accountmadeforants:
A_Dub888: but what if..... a third sword?
TehAmelie: what if Shadow of the Colossus, but bigger? like big enough to have its own gravity well
Didero: and then they were blind forever
BusTed:
bytecaster: I wonder if that boss had a tail cut
TehAmelie: i think we just trust in the narrative. if we die we know we went off track, so try something else
accountmadeforants: I like that Rolly did a backflip right as you got on its back, thanks Rolly
Didero: Good news, it wasn't a dragon, it was a Megalith
Didero: apparently
TXC2:
and that's where glitter comes from
A_Dub888: @bytecaster probably had a Gem
accountmadeforants: Sure hope they weren't part of the same clutch
Tiber727: @bytecaster I don't think you could even level up enough strength to wield it.
TehAmelie: dang, we didn't learn firebending
Didero: oh no, past tense
bytecaster: Oh no
TXC2: FUCKING CALLED IT!
bytecaster: A dragon ate her
beowuuf: like dark souls?
Jedi_Master_Zell: Yeah, figured something like that.
accountmadeforants: If we get a bunch of dragons with really long jaws and weird noses we'll know why
Didero: We didn't die... often
A_Dub888: Can Mr CEO see the two expositing their hearts to each other?
bytecaster: Trauma? In the creative field? Say it ain't so!
TXC2: creativity flows from trauma
Didero: Why IS Zoe British, anyway? Everybody else is American, right?
beowuuf: hey jacob
TXC2: Hello Jacob
TehAmelie: BoJack Horseman had some thoughts about "good trauma"
TheAinMAP: Hi Jacob.
bytecaster: That is such a weird screen layout
BrowneePointz: plenty of people find creativity without trauma
TheDevil_Risen: Shinra!
A_Dub888: Rader: Shake
BrowneePointz: just lots of people turn to creativity to turn that trauma in to joy
M_Hoffmann: This meeting could have been an email.
bytecaster: Shadow Jacob!
TehAmelie: a machine for stealing dreams! mine!
Invitare: "We were *this* close to greatness"
bytecaster: IT is gonna love that
TXC2: the monitor is not the computer
Tiber727: I think he could already have all the money by making a hyper realistic VR.
TheDevil_Risen: o hai Jacob
BrowneePointz: You'd enjoy the heck out of this game Jacob
Sarah_Serinde:
Jacob's kinda creepy in the shadows like that
Sethalidos: Jacob sneaked in
TheDevil_Risen: baiii
TXC2: Bye Jacob
Cptasparagus: I sent my gf a picture of Jacob crouched between you two and she replied with the gif of him saying he needed floor time
Jedi_Master_Zell: The concept of this machine is so bizarre. "I'm going to make a machine to read minds so I can plagiarize unpublished authors stories."
Didero: This is when you tell your boss to fuck off
gsyhiap: "We can longer guarantee their demise!"
bytecaster: Who made the "Machine Overload" UI
accountmadeforants: *they* don't get a golden parachute if they get fired, though
Didero: Jesus, Twitch, way to block the whole screen with a dumb warning because I said 'fuck'
Marvoleath: he doesnt even have a lab coat, surely he knows no science!
TheAinMAP: Falling again.
shushu2539: that's what my therapist said
bytecaster: Are we balls?
Didero: This seems like a good cliffhanger
Chesul: Orbs!
TheAinMAP:
NeoGabi: Super monkey ball!
Invitare: oh it's Samus
Sarah_Serinde:
TXC2: companion balls
BrowneePointz: that would be the funniest paul quote of all time
BrowneePointz: oh I remember this level from the trailer
TXC2: get in the metaphor Shinji
BusTed: Again good timing
beowuuf: good break point
NeoGabi: Y'all did great!
TXC2: each level has been 3 hours, which is interesting to me
Marvoleath: backpack dragon
BrowneePointz: we also found out why Zoe's stories are all full of childlike wonder
Snowcookies: everyone needs therapy
Genie_M: And a bit of dentistry
BrowneePointz: but then they don't have things to bond over!
Chesul: Technically she never said her sister died, just that she lost her.
Orannis0: Don't worry, there's more trauma to come
bytecaster: They are really perfecting this formula
TheDevil_Risen: thanks for the stream, that was fun!
BrowneePointz: The gameplay is VERY "It Takes Two but Refined" in the best way
M4RKNUTT: Hey! Been watching the vods, how has Split Fiction compared to ItTakesTwo? I saw the elephant in an earlier ep
bytecaster: The teeth one was great!
BusTed: oh the love doctor book...
beowuuf: ceo is the new book
Didero: I really like the variety in this game though, and it's very pretty
bytecaster: They are a bit constraint by the scifi-fantasy setting.
Orannis0: This one sort of ramps up to that point at the end
M4RKNUTT: Better characters than the parents that actively wanted to make their child cry 🤣
BrowneePointz: I think this is more cohesive, but the other one aimed higher
TXC2:
beowuuf cursed out of context sentence
Orannis0: As a squirrel, can confirm squirrels are Just Like That
TXC2: it takes two felt like they through every idea they had in, and now they've had to make a sequel and not got quiet enough left
Snowcookies: it's a clicehe storm
TXC2: *threw
Jedi_Master_Zell: The story seems so bad to me.
Sarah_Serinde: in It Takes Two I didn't love the take on divorce (just try hard enough and you can get together, if you divorce that's the worst option). In this one the main characters are/were very stereotyped, but they gain complexity and grow as they go along
Garfy400: and what does shadow Jacon represent?
Garfy400: Jabob
Jedi_Master_Zell: Vampires?
TXC2: thanks for streaming Paul and Heather
