GapFiller: per the qucikly scribbled back of hand notes a C64 story seems fitting for a C64 themed comedy website
RubikDarkwill: Has anyone else noticed the 4 different fonts on screen?
GapFiller: in other lesser news some irritatingly generous soul has giftsubbed me to LRR leaving me w/ a spare Prime sub for the month #nthworldproblems
GapFiller:
RubikDarkwill the 
move ofc is using dfft fonts in the same line for that marvellous ransom note effect

ArcOfTheConclave: catharsis
RockPusher: Need a game offering the two different scenarios in a consistent way
RockPusher: As if Stardew can't be stressful as hell
RockPusher: Subnautical 2: Probably gonna be under-baked
gualdhar: I alreawdy wasn't planning to play Subnautica 2 until release, but this news is extremely worrying
RockPusher: hope you like your video game a gooey floury mess in the middle
spurius: they probably signed an nda
TheMerricat: As much as I agree that Sub 2 will be under baked, The three people who were let go do not have a track record of being able to release games on anything anyone would consider a timely manner. And the quality difference between subnautica One and Below Zero suggest that just giving them time to bake doesn't mean you actually get something better.
DeM0nFiRe: Gyronautica
gualdhar: Supernautica, you're in an airship
gualdhar: Domnautica, underwater BDSM simulator
lightfut: @gualdhar well, Bioshock was able to do it, why not them too?
Tiber727: @gualdhar TBF, that does sound fun, if potentially very similar to Raft and/or Void Train.
gualdhar: Forever Skies was airship survival crafter, it's a decently fun game
RockPusher:
Juliamon: It's a tangled knot of thorns
e_bloc: I mean obviously theyve done it 63 times
Stormgod519: afternoon, everyone
GapFiller: seems fitting given Atari ST vs (Commodore) Amiga was one of the og computing wars
GapFiller:
clearly somebody needs to buy both the Commodore AND Atari IP's and become the ultimate ect ect
PMAvers: $5? Sure, I'm in.
Wolfstrike_NL: What if a company suddenly names you their CEO, buttplug.io
TheMerricat:
Or say someone just up and bought out Escapist.... 
e_bloc: pong but as a fps
e_bloc: counterstrike
mtvcdm: That one computer that runs Doom
e_bloc: please stop playing doom on my coffeemaker
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Their track record also includes two of my favourite multiplayer games: The Natural Selection Half-Life mod, and the stand-alone Natural Selection 2. NS2 took a while, yeah, but it was also truly fantastic. The first Subnautica also took ages to get from prototype to full game (and spent a long time in early access). If anything, Below Zero was a fast release by their standards.
e_bloc: just hire whoever worked on the the wii U
LordZarano: The Steamdeck - a console-like experience but also it's a linux computer and you can do anything on it
TheMerricat: @TheMerricat I agree, they made great/good games. But god they took forever to get them out the door, and that's a reasonable concern for a company that already had to bail out the stuido by buying it up in order for them to make it to the finish line for the subnauticas

ButButTheJesus: my Perfect Darrrrkkkkk
gualdhar: the VA for Joana Dark is pushing for fans to demand a comeback
ButButTheJesus: I watched that first trailer every so often it made me excited
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Yeah, NS2 also had money troubles, which is why they started taking pre-orders (and had a paid beta) well before they would've originally planned. I remember Charlie mentioning that their break-in-case-of-imminent-insolvency was making more casual games to raise funds 😅
GapFiller: Perfect Dark was better than Goldeneye
accountmadeforants: @accountmadeforants But at the same time, I very much doubt their money-/time-sink is anywhere close to lots of "proper" AAA studios.
LordZarano: Or you can go play whatever nonsense jam games on itch io
adept_nekomancer: Luckily you don't need millions of dollars and hyper-realistic graphics to make a fun game.
GapFiller: it figures that requires a lvl of self awareness antithetical to the C suite
SquareDotCube: It's like the chase for investor appeal will destroy the field
accountmadeforants: The issue with running video game companies like that is that there can be a big gap between releases, so your funds start running low as you approach release (if you're even close to done). Unless you do a Sokpop thing and release lots and lots of really tiny games more frequently
ButButTheJesus: great googly moogly
Darleysam: farewell to DICE, I guess
ButButTheJesus: EA.
ButButTheJesus: EA pls
LordZarano:
Sethalidos: EA does it intentionally
gualdhar: how do they only get $4 a sale to make the numbers even out
adept_nekomancer: And then they'll still stuff it full of microtransactions and battlepasses and whatnot
Sethalidos: Major corporations are scum
gualdhar: how the fuck did Ark get nearly 80 million sales
Sethalidos: it's an excuse to shitcan the devs
ButButTheJesus: oh yeah
Sethalidos: and shutter the studios for a tax break
spurius: I still cant forgive square enix for scrapping sleeping dogs for not selling gta numbers
ButButTheJesus: @spurius and they kept doubling down on saying they're gonna to NFT stuff, not sure if they still are but they're losing me
MajorFrostbyte: Recipe for disaster
Juliamon: Ah, so wish fulfillment
e_bloc: #normal
ButButTheJesus: at this point we gotta start experimenting to save society. this could work!
GapFiller: the target audience for this game are absolutely subs only kinda people
GapFiller: an eng dub is prob surplus
OldUncleDan: Wish it was a rhythm game.
e_bloc: thats why they say code drunk, debug sober
OldUncleDan: I'm still waiting for the SF crossover with the 90's rapper Sagat.
e_bloc: I'd buy that game
Invitare: Ellen Mclain
Sethalidos: it was the actual voice actress I thought
jessicaengle: Hello Chat and Chat enjoyers.
Invitare: I swear I heard once that she was recreating the effect herself, but that sounds insane
OldUncleDan: She does a pretty close version of that voice without all the post production.
ButButTheJesus: oh my
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: Slingshot bikinis is insane
e_bloc: is it likely to overheat if you have both hands off the keyboard?
gualdhar: that's not a swimsuit that's a mummy
ContingentCat: LesbainPride

ContingentCat:

elgenericosfavoriteorphan: Luke as a lifeguard..
gualdhar: I do want Aki to be my mummy though >.>
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: i like the detail cloeup on lukes watch
accountmadeforants: "Let me guard your life or catch one of these"
e_bloc: I mean if I looked lie Ryu, I would throw all my shirts in the garbage and burn them
itmightbemikey: Ken is too divorced for a swimsuit outfit, it would justr be tighty whities and noone wants that
darkcyril: @itmightbemikey You say that...
accountmadeforants: The Cammy and Chun-Li swimsuits are apparently references to some older Street Fighter art
ButButTheJesus: does Beej have mankini
itmightbemikey: @darkcyril they're stained
e_bloc: @ButButTheJesus I always had Beej pegged as the jump into the ocean naked role
accountmadeforants: Guile also out-gunning Luke's boxing gloves by bringing an assault rifle and a bazooka
accountmadeforants: *sniper rifle
e_bloc: oh god if they did a SF7 reveal for that it would be chaotic
e_bloc: it was just idi amin and fidel castro in a trench coat
gualdhar: by the people who made This War of Mine
accountmadeforants: And also it's Death Stranding apparently
Tiber727: It's visual novel adjacent + some resource/base management.
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: oop
EvilBadman: You make clones of yourself by pulling them out of timelines where you made a different choice at a critical moment
UtilityPunk: The Alters -- You're the only survivor crash landing on a planet, and you need to clone yourself to gain the skills to survive. The clones are simulated versions of yourself that made different choices. Basebuilding like xcom or oxygen not included
darkcyril: Same thing happened with Clair Obscur actually.
Tiber727: From what I heard, there was some background text on a screen. Instead of lorem ipsum they used AI.
BusTed: awkward
ButButTheJesus: GDI
GapFiller:
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: whoops
GapFiller: literal lorem ipsum wdve been better than this
Kentosaurus: give me technobabble lorem ipsum
e_bloc: I mean who hasn;t inadvertently at wok
accountmadeforants: "ChatGPT, Lorem Ipsum me some technobabble"
Coloneljesus: and of course people on bluesky went apeshit
accountmadeforants: @Kentosaurus Aaaa, same brain!
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: tbf if you are willing to excuse AI use, generating technobabble lorem ipsum is probably one of the best uses
adept_nekomancer: At least it doesn't say, "As a large language model, I...", but it's close.
darkcyril: @elgenericosfavoriteorphan Scifi technobabble has existed for decades without the need for AI.
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: i agree
Coloneljesus: IMO the translation stuff was more "problematic"
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: oh now we're defending big bang theory? a bridge too far lol
Coloneljesus: praising them for what they did right is ok
accountmadeforants: "This texture will barely be readable anyway"
Sethalidos: Homeland did that and the graffiti literally read Homeland is racist
accountmadeforants: Kitbashing some Arabic writing

Sethalidos: it's a steaming pile apparently
accountmadeforants: GamersNexus had a thing a while ago where they found out that for some reason lots of companies in China, Korea and Taiwan just cannot, for the life of them, write the word "Unknown". (The most common misspelling being Unknow.)
ContingentCat: Oh nooooo
ButButTheJesus:
TheAinMAP:
Amentur: NOBODY checking pissed me off even more
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: youtube has that horrible AI auto dubbing now that i encountered watching Mexican wrestling highlights. So dire
accountmadeforants: Nobody could possibly afford paying a single person to spend half an hour actually watching the thing with subs on.
TheMerricat:
@Amentur If you are at the point where you are asking ChatGPT to do the subs, then the likelihood that _you_ checking it would catch anything is zero. 
accountmadeforants: Can't be done
SquareDotCube: Or even use this tool called ctrl+f and add GPT to it
e_bloc: plead the fifth
ContingentCat: that canary is really dead yeah
ButButTheJesus: chatgpt, is the canary ok? "...yes."
UtilityPunk: Pandora's box opened, and we can't fit the LLMs back in
Sarah_Serinde: Look ChatGPT can't understand what it "reads" anyway, it could still get it it wrong
MajorFrostbyte: Fun = Weird, got it
accountmadeforants: Kojima's favourite V-Tuber is apparently also in it, according to my YouTube feed
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: oh, we know the answer to that question
BusTed: 🤔
TheMerricat: Maybe it's maybelline...
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: all that instead of just saying "Look man, im obsessed with western media"
RockPusher:
Congrats to them, they managed to convince Beej 
accountmadeforants: "Asian skin doesn't have normal maps, making it look fake"
Kazman20a: sounds fair, facial recognition has a harder time the darker the skin tonw
Kazman20a: tone
TheMerricat: @elgenericosfavoriteorphan " But once you recognize the secret reason for her exposure, you will feel ashamed of your words & deeds."
LordZarano: Subsurface scattering maybe?
e_bloc: maybe the past is problematic
accountmadeforants: "One day we'll have the technology to make Asian people look ugly"
RockPusher:
That's Beej's secret: he's always ashamed of his words and deeds 
TheMerricat: I think Kojima has cemented his ability to refuse to just cop to his fetishes and make up elaborate bullshit to attempt to cover it up, poorly.
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: yeah that checks out
SquareDotCube: This feels like the sketch from over ten years ago after the whole "women are hard to animate" debacle
Invitare: he wants to make a game about spaces?
e_bloc: is it method acting if you're a director
accountmadeforants: Love that for you homie
Jillexie: Does he know the computers in space are not the best ones?
RockPusher: You can do that Kojima-san, it just costs money
SquareDotCube: He might want to talk to Richard Gariott...
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: yeah spending that amount of time in space might not be great for him
e_bloc: yeah their orbit is decaying
JessieImproved: It's been due for retirement for a long time
RubikDarkwill: I mean, NASA is losing budget...
RockPusher: There are various plans for the ISS, nothing particularly concrete at this time
KaleidoscopeMind: "I put a cow in a wind tunnel!"
GapFiller: didnt LRR do a whole Crapshot abt this
GapFiller: w/ Cam and Kathleen as astronauts
gualdhar: John Glenn went to space at 77, you do you Kojima
RockPusher: You can, it's just expensive
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: go up to ISS and just shlub around
SquareDotCube: ISS isn't a Starbucks (yet)
ContingentCat: *knock on wood*
e_bloc: on average
GapFiller: Cam: dyr ever think abt what you wanted to be while growing up? like a lawyer or a banker?
GapFiller: Kathleen: or an astronaut!?
Lord_Hosk: If you want to go to the ISS in space you better plan your trip quick its coming down in a few years.
TheMerricat: And boy does it piss off Serge.
Juliamon: Copper has been broadly decorative
adept_nekomancer: Finally patched out Ea Nasir, eh?
Sarah_Serinde: there are so many decorative copper blocks, it was already great
DeM0nFiRe: I want a Waxed Lightly Weathered Cut Copper Golem
Juliamon: It's better than the gold one!
UtilityPunk: Smh, redstone took over circuits, so copper's a no-go
BusTed: I love the li'l guy
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: lil guy!
Sarah_Serinde: the golem seems great
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: copper packhorse
GapFiller:
!?
SpoonfullOfSugar: yes tin
JessieImproved: yes
Amentur: It is tin
OldUncleDan: Bronze is tin, Brass is zinc.
GapFiller: copper w/#12% tin
RockPusher: Tin! From Tinland!
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: whats the difference in depth levels between copper and silver in minecraft?
LordZarano: And Brass is Zinc?
Sarah_Serinde: iirc copper tools still can't mine thing like diamonds, so it'll be a bit faster than stone but it won't help with the despair of finding diamonds when you have no iron tools to mine them with
SquareDotCube: As it is now, you have the metals for rose gold but not the process
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: i'll get back into minecraft when i can make rose gold
Sarah_Serinde: It has a wealth of use if you like building pretty things
Sarah_Serinde: And a couple niche uses besides that
Juliamon: It technically had a very niche mechanical use
00gogo00: it has aesthetic uses
OldUncleDan: @elgenericosfavoriteorphan Then they could introduce Aluminum and then give a recipie for Purple Gold.
00gogo00: and you can make, uh, lightning rods, spyglasses, and brushes with it
Sarah_Serinde: Seriously the number of different blocks you can make out of copper is so high?
00gogo00: oh also copper lamps are nice
Sarah_Serinde: oh yeah copper lamps did new things for redstone
Juliamon: Every copper block form has multiple variants for each level of patina
Sarah_Serinde:
Oh yeah, lots of people have complained that you can do nothing with it, they're just wrong 
Juliamon: Have you tried..... building
e_bloc: maybe they just shorted the shit out of copper futures
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: that bit beej did just made me think of a fullly online minecraft with an eve online style economy
e_bloc: yeah having with people who enrich uranium, the fact that we get most ours from Russia makes it pretty difficult
Juliamon: now I'm thinking about a build I did on a server prior to copper's introduction, using gold and various forms of terracotta... it woulda been so much prettier with copper
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: Team VaLLRant is very good
ShaneLeeAtk: That was soul clearing
elgenericosfavoriteorphan: yeah that was a "Throw your back out" sneeze
e_bloc: but if you could, I bet LRR would farm a decent team
