 TheAinMAP: Hello  
 TehAmelie: y helo thar
 Earthenone: the last smoke and mirrors demo gave us desertbus, so my hopes are high
 TheMerricat: When you panic because you have tripled audio and realize it's not the stream, it's because you somehow had three windows with LRR going. 
 MrVirite: No, but yes?
 ContingentCat: same cam it's ok
  Juliamon: it's pronounced 'sibr'

 TheMerricat: OG Quake or the remastered wiht updated graphics?
 Gekyouryuu: Caves of Questionable Urban Development
wolfskull7: Yoo- Cam i read the trail by Kafka, dunno if you've read it but it's great. Also 400 pages into the first game of thrones book which is great
 Gekyouryuu: If it's not original Quake, then it should be called Aftershocks
  Juliamon: I would still read Kefka's book
 Earthenone: same nihalist clown
wolfskull7: Trial sry not trail
 PMAvers: "Yeah, half the time I eat anything here, there's a chance of the food giving me some sort of poisoning."
wolfskull7: I think ud love it

 Gekyouryuu: Cam you can't use that excuse, we have depression everyday
KV1NN4: brilliant XD
Wolfstrike_NL: Wholesome 
 TheMerricat:  
 TheMerricat: In this economy?
Wolfstrike_NL: Now...was that a personal message...or if you type in any other name...will it show the same  ?
 TheAinMAP: Have to?
Symphoneers: Who up burying they breath in they sins?
 ContingentCat: I might need to use that next time I try to slide into someone's DMs
 kdefinition: I mean, Sylvanas Windrunner is right there as a touch point
 comrade_cards: My eyebrows right now...
 TheAinMAP: 
 raulghoulia: I only get letters from my dead wife telling me to meet her at Silent Hill
 kdefinition: If it sucks, hit da bricks
 TheMerricat: Anyone else getting Disco Elysium vibes from this? Minus the comedy?
Wolfstrike_NL: Very heavily yes.
 kdefinition: Oh that's very cursed
  Juliamon: Catwings was a good book series
 ContingentCat: thanks I hate it
 Gekyouryuu: Iirc, you said the same thing, cam, about an art for a blue aura that gave flying and had a picture of a cat with magical wings
BlackIsis: wow. now you're saying vampires and demon ladies aren't trustworthy?
MajorFrostbyte: Even worse, Fraiser's ex-wife
 PMAvers: On the table sits a pristine blade.
 Marvoleath: new meaning to butterface
 raulghoulia: Or were intiating final impact
 TheMerricat: "Disbuds and Spiders are also known as single stem Chrysanthemums. They are single stem flowers that come in a variety colors, sizes and shapes. They are extremely versatile flowers and are used as a filler or a focal flower in an arrangement or bouquet"
 accountmadeforants: Oh, wait, I assumed this would be Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors 
 ContingentCat: well she's got you there
Skeletonman1100: OR she's dead
 kdefinition: I want to take her face.... off. To see the other face.
 jacey0002: Sounds like you certainly made some thing
 TheMerricat: At least she has a face now.
 Lord_Hosk: Looooving you... doo do do do do do doooo
 BusTed: Porfo no!
 GhostValv: porph?
 accountmadeforants: Porphs out for my homies
 TheMerricat: I think these are made up things.
 PMAvers: Might be a setting thing? Since we have a flying cat.
GirlPainting: dict cc got nothing
GirlPainting: "Porph meat" likely refers to the Redefine Meat product, which is a plant-based alternative to pulled pork
Invitare: blah!
 TheMerricat: I mean we petted a winged cat....
 Gekyouryuu: Human meat is Long Porph
GirlPainting: humans have manes, right? ... a hu mane
GirlPainting: 
 TheMerricat: The Mane of Gondor.
GirlPainting: but but but...i just goth here

KamikaziManiac: It sounds like you got the upper hand on her, to me.

 TheMerricat: Chat please remember to use protection when penetrating the essence of the gods. Remember you are also penetrating everyone else's essense that penetrated the gods.
GirlPainting:     
 IanAllenBird: 
 gualdhar: Is this one of those horror games where your death is a CYOA and there's no "victory"?
GirlPainting: it feels a little like one of the solo adventures adem likes to play
 TheMerricat: @gualdhar I'm willing to bet that in the demo, you can't 'win' at least. 
 SquareDotCube: we could play Blue Prince
Symphoneers: I'd be interested in where "Continue" puts you.
KV1NN4: Cori & Cameron: Now that it's been some time since the First Play - how're you finding Blue Prince?
 TheMerricat: For a demo it's very good at telling you exactly what the full game is likely to be. It succeeds on that at the very least.
 TheMerricat: Chat, my attempt to make spaghettios using pasta and a can of condensed tomato soup while not a failure, was not exactly a success.  Still filling at least.
KV1NN4: @TheMerricat I bet an amount of tomato paste and garlic powder might push it closer?
GirlPainting: a porph!
 TheMerricat: @KV1NN4 That's a good idea. I'll try it next time. I bought a huge number of them before COVID hit thinking I'd start having tomato soup more often, then promptly forgot about them till I was cleaning my pantry this morning. 
GirlPainting: shall we play slay the princess instead?
thunderkenku: Is this not the full game?
 TheMerricat: Twine?
 SquareDotCube: Twine?
 electric_claire: ren'py?
 empyreon: Renpy?
 TheMerricat: @thunderkenku Nope, game isn't out yet, just the demo
 PMAvers: Shotgun?
 TheMerricat: Your dead ex-wife who was a WITCH or some other dark arts practitioner. 
 SquareDotCube: cat starts talking in an anime voice
 ButButTheJesus:  !
thunderkenku: I plead nuh-uh
 RealGamerCow: Erasurehead
 frameshifty: you ditched her at an Erasure concert?
 vinewood_og: Ow
 RealGamerCow: Can't draw porphes club
Symphoneers: "The woman"
GirlPainting: slay the princess please
thunderkenku: I wonder if the cat adds anything to the narrative, or if it's just there to be fluffy
 Jillexie: You really want a notebook
 accountmadeforants: That Porph was too beautiful to eat
goombalax: all those Livber diehards will be so disappointed
Hrrisn: always loved the ash lake bg
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: omg, is it happening again?  we're rinsing the bloops?
thunderkenku: The narrative of Livber reminds me of Disco Elysium, but with less charm and more EDGE
 IanAllenBird: I don't think you've unlocked the area
 SquareDotCube: the different progressions on some things by different plays is wild to me
 IanAllenBird: oh interesting
 Jillexie: I think you need to figure out the Utility Box puzzle first
 Jillexie: To get the last gas valve
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: orchard should have apple
 SquareDotCube: music is a little low (and I do think it's something Cam would enjoy)

 Jillexie: If you have the hovel, schoolhouse, and orchard valves, you need to solve the VAC puzzle for the last one.
 PMAvers: I'm so glad they changed that red door in the patch
 Lord_Hosk: They had an underwater train on Seaquest DSV it went  from LA to Australia.  It did not go well.
 ReynardWrecca: Ooh, there's a lovely round number.

 Jillexie: The Sigils!
 Jillexie: You need to learn the history and geography of this world.
Invitare: don't worry Cam, science doesn't know why we keep yawning either
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: fear?  Are you afraid Cam?
 TehAmelie: i sometimes get into a mood where i keep yawning because i'm very excited. probably my body trying to fight exhaustion
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: there are 0 unnecessary details in Blue Prince.
Abracadaver23: absolutely love this game
Abracadaver23: I'
Abracadaver23: I'm workin on getting all the trophies
Abracadaver23: 
Abracadaver23: Cori as someone who's going back to this game after playing for a month and a half, and coming back for dare mode runs It is jarring to remember everything
KV1NN4: i went to the Boudair on Dec 25th (in game), I was delighted XD
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Abracadaver23 I wonder what new puzzles that'll unlock... 
Abracadaver23: Power Hammer is GOATed
jj_q: I find power hammer to be very derivative of tool
 ContingentCat: hammer
 IanAllenBird: break shit but better
jj_q: I saw that in the simsons
Abracadaver23: I've come to the conclusion that actually living in this manor would SUCK
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: is there even any lore in the lav?
Abracadaver23: @thedepthandbreadthofseth Who knows 
 Jillexie: They are all on paid vacation.
 IanAllenBird: there's one bathroom and it's random whether you draft it
Symphoneers: Having to draft a bathroom when you really need to go's the main downside imo.
Abracadaver23: Consider this, One bathroom in a 45 room house, said bathroom isn't even guaranteed to show up on the draft pool
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: @IanAllenBird there are trees.
Abracadaver23: @thedepthandbreadthofseth there's only like 3 ways to get out of this House of Leaves
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Abracadaver23 but there isn't a minotaur
Abracadaver23: @thedepthandbreadthofseth You're the minotaur
 SquareDotCube: Science is FOOF!
 Angnor33: Uranium Hexafluoride is the most fun!
 Barb4rian: F is for fire that burns down the whole town...
 wench_tacular: 
Wolfstrike_NL: Science is Healthy....wait
 mercano82: hey, maybe you just have some glass that isn’t on fire enough
 IanAllenBird: I wish I could turn off that flashing
 SquareDotCube: eye mask
 Barb4rian: Sleep mask was there no?
 Jillexie: You can click on the maps,too
 Jillexie: To get a better view for screenshots
 IanAllenBird: there's so much in these
Abracadaver23: You're telling me a Mobius fried this Strip?
 SquareDotCube: shows up in Castaway
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: anyone else think this world is probably a "wheel of time" style far future post-apocalyptic society?
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: like... are we the first age?
KV1NN4: The dynamite wexxedme for the longest time... X3
Invitare: why do we always "call it a day" when it's actually night?
KV1NN4: vexxed
 Jillexie: Sorry Cameron, you really do.
thunderkenku: Poor Cameron, keeps finding things he likes
 wench_tacular: damn peer pressure

 NoxStryx: Just found out today that the guy who runs MythicSpoilers made this game
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: @NoxStryx The man who created Risk also directed "The Red Balloon."
 Jillexie: You need to learn about your family, history, current politics, and geography.
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: and technology @Jillexie
 thedepthandbreadthofseth: Fun was had
 NoxStryx: You know where you are by knowing where you are not?
 NoxStryx: Surely Godot will arrive tomorrow

 Laserbeaks_Fury: Clair Obscur is really good, you should think about it for TS
 iris_of_ether: 
 PMAvers: Huh, interesting, that week ITYC is on a Thursday instead of MOnday
 vinewood_og: "Gamer words"
  Juliamon: Laserbeaks_Fury I think they're waiting until Ian and Heather finish their run
 Laserbeaks_Fury: That's fair.
 rentar42: "gamerwords" or "game awards". Is there a difference?
 vinewood_og: Both are derogatory
 iris_of_ether: 100%
 rentar42: "hot mess"?
BlackIsis: i literally just did a spit take
 Laserbeaks_Fury: It definitely a anime trope character
 vinewood_og: Slump Piece
