Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher It's one of those things that I am confident must be much harder to implement in games than people think because smaller studios often forgo it. Big studios have zero excuse. But it is one of my absolute favorite things in RPGs to have
adept_nekomancer: stabtues
ButButTheJesus:
@adept_nekomancer
ButButTheJesus: I have not, I got scawwed at the warning
Jillexie: Should be a French accent.
Thefluffiestguineapig:
This guy's voice is different every time 
phoenixletmeuseadashd:
why is the little boy scottish?
RockPusher: Thefluffiestguineapig game dev is hard and all features come at a cost - hopefully though it becomes a part of how a genre gets defined
RockPusher: >get lamp
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Yeah, I figured as much. And I would always rather devs have happy healthy lives and good pay (plus things take longer) than have some nice features
Thefluffiestguineapig: But I was the nut job that tried to get my overworked coworkers at a previous veterinary hospital (corporate, unsafe, to be clear) to abide by the strike rules of the British health care strike and only see urgent cases to unionize while they made our hospital safe
Thefluffiestguineapig: ALWAYS start with accessibility
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone with invisible disabilities
Thefluffiestguineapig: Apologies for my massive rants
adept_nekomancer: Why does he aim his butt at the enemies to shoot?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @adept_nekomancer Presumably same reason assassin bugs do?
phoenixletmeuseadashd: I love that shooting is a big mechanic and then the only guy with an actual gun dies
gualdhar: I thought his gun was basically magic
gualdhar: materializes out of thin air and the like
RockPusher: I've seen The WInter Soldier - robot arm > gun
ButButTheJesus: "mom my friends went away" "why?"
ButButTheJesus: "i stabbed them"
gualdhar: bury? you only have half an arm
gualdhar: bury what
gualdhar: new parry time!
phoenixletmeuseadashd: because Maelle would shank you
SquareDotCube: but what of brown mustard...
wildpeaks: the sweet mustard type ? it's more of a german thing I think
ButButTheJesus: right, this music reminds me of Chrono Cross
ButButTheJesus: he's dooting
accountmadeforants: The Gradient attacks can be real bastards sight unseen (or misremembered) yeah
wildpeaks:
Wicker_Guide: timing is a lot more generous than the regular parry, but yeah the gradient animations get so long and distracting
Wicker_Guide: I really wish they let you sort by unmastered
Thefluffiestguineapig: I enjoy so much of the style in the game but sometimes it makes getting the timings difficult

phoenixletmeuseadashd: Gives this difficulty damage wise but easier mode timing

Jillexie: Always nice to be able to defeat them without them being able to take a turn.
ContingentCat: ok Shania Twain
Jillexie: By endgame, you can have very broken builds, which is something the designers inteded
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Jillexie I enjoy when the designers clearly said "Ok, let's get goofy with it"
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ian "clapping Roman emperor" Horner

LRRbot: Yaaaaaaaay...
e_bloc: this game has a nice balance of exposition and expedition
ghizmou: just a couple more counters
wildpeaks:
wildpeaks: oh, oh no
Jillexie: My entire team build focused on fire damage when I met this Chromatic. Had to change things up.
wildpeaks: counters are so satisfying
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Jillexie Ooooffff, that would be a sudden change
wildpeaks: well something broke
wildpeaks: the blessed run \o/
Jillexie: Alas it is not vulnerable to ice damage.
Jillexie: To which I say, really?
wildpeaks: woohoo
Thefluffiestguineapig: This game has SO MUCH you would absolutely need either a guide or several playthroughs to find it all

e_bloc: just convince wheeler that shogi is a card game and to play on your account
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Or Ben, considering how he took to Sabaac
e_bloc: I mean he played Mahjong
Thefluffiestguineapig: If anyone wants to see Yakuza, come see Tiltyhouse streams on Fridays!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yes, that is the Cannon path
ButButTheJesus:
Laserbeaks_Fury: Did we talk to the Fading Woman already?
Wicker_Guide: got interrupted by Friend-shapes
Thefluffiestguineapig: IAN
Laserbeaks_Fury: Unlike certain other character, this one's an arm guy
measureofhope: huh what?
e_bloc: are the enemies as moist in Yakuza
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ian also talks about his crow friends!
Laserbeaks_Fury: This makes so much more sense the second time around

Wicker_Guide: they do? why? she's one of the few without natural sustain
Wicker_Guide: I used Verso/Gustave until I felt that was too obvious
gualdhar: like Undead in Final Fantasy games
Laserbeaks_Fury: I wonder if Inverted will become relevant in the near future?
e_bloc: alright, I should probably know this, ,but why do we find facts about higher numbered expeditions? are they numbering them backwards?
Wicker_Guide: Villaness Arc Maelle
Thefluffiestguineapig: Very similar haircut
Juliamon: e_bloc yes, they're counting down
Wicker_Guide: @e_bloc yep
e_bloc: @Juliamon thank you!
e_bloc: @Wicker_Guide thanks!
Wicker_Guide: first was 0, because they didn't realize, but after that was 84 and counting back
Thefluffiestguineapig: TRUE
ButButTheJesus: can that be a quote
accountmadeforants:
What do you mean? Inverted is all upside, skills benefit from it, and you're never healing anyway 
ButButTheJesus: "If there's a problem with this game, its that the crows sound too much like real crows"
paulthemapguy: how much variation is there in crow noises?
e_bloc: does that ruin your immersion
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sorry for all caps
Juliamon: More than you'd expect paulthemapguy
RockPusher: Game soliciting peanuts from The Peanut Man
Wicker_Guide: @paulthemapguy related, how much variation are we as human listeners able to detect
Wicker_Guide: Maelle having her goth teen phase
Juliamon: I'm currently trying to identify the crow call I've been hearing recently. According to the Merlin app it's a fish crow, but the call on the Audubon app doesn't match.
Laserbeaks_Fury: " 'When' ones. Not 'If', 'When' " Is one of my favorite lines in the game
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yup, that's me...
RockPusher:
Xafty: simple and clean or sanctuary?
ButButTheJesus: Eyes On Me is FF8 Ian
e_bloc: you know, I know the idea of quilted armor exists, but that's the first time I think I've ever seen something that was like yup that's quilted armor
Laserbeaks_Fury: The General Grievous we have at home.
Wicker_Guide: Welcome to Mr. "I Hope You Remember All The Parry Mechanics Because This Is The Test". It's a long name
Wicker_Guide: @Laserbeaks_Fury less evil Pontiff Sulyvahn
Wicker_Guide: you do, until you get hit
Laserbeaks_Fury: She keeps attacking until shes hit
Wicker_Guide: a bunch of Lune's strongest moves are big, battlefield changing Over-Time effects
accountmadeforants:

paulthemapguy: Roundabout by Yes plays
gualdhar: they're not allowed to have two phases! what is this, Elden Ring?
Laserbeaks_Fury: I'm gonna let you finish,,,
e_bloc: always double-tap
Wicker_Guide: FF14 meme incoming
ButButTheJesus: #teamdodge
Thefluffiestguineapig: #whateverittakestosurvive
Wicker_Guide: Wave of fire -> Leaf damage will always amuse me
accountmadeforants: You should also dodge when your weapon has an element that heals the enemy
accountmadeforants: Inverted looks great, yeah
accountmadeforants: Their hair also turns white
Wicker_Guide: more that death "heals" all status effects
Laserbeaks_Fury: Why is the icon for Inverted a butt?
accountmadeforants: @Laserbeaks_Fury It's an upside-down heart
Laserbeaks_Fury: No, I very clearly see a butt
accountmadeforants: But also, it represents "butts to healing"
Wicker_Guide: real answer: because it's an upside down heart. Best answer: Because it s***s
Laserbeaks_Fury: Epic Team Takedown
Wicker_Guide: SASUGA
Dog_of_Myth:
wildpeaks:
accountmadeforants: Why Verso didn't decide to keep *that* sword instead of the tiny purple one I'll never understand
measureofhope: Sounds like every soccer game I'm seen
Wicker_Guide: That's called Lacross Ian
accountmadeforants: (Though the tiny purple sword is very very very good)
paulthemapguy: I mean, the boss did fake an injury and come right back, so that's very much soccer
Wicker_Guide: oh, nvm
Laserbeaks_Fury: This is a *lot* of people
e_bloc: yeah swordballing has always been a red card
Laserbeaks_Fury: Like a ludicrous amount of dead people
wildpeaks: a new coat of paint and a few throw pillows, it will make a fine Airbnb
Wicker_Guide: Stabby Stabby Zoom Zoom sward
accountmadeforants: It's a very good weapon until you can reliably get second turns otherwise, especially in combination with some Base Attack skills
Laserbeaks_Fury: Play again after a Base attack is good, but Dualiso is on average half the damage of other swords
ButButTheJesus: she is ♪ Levitating
Laserbeaks_Fury: It'll be good when you start bumping up against the damage cap
Wicker_Guide: It's really good for turning Verso into a support character using Base Attack for AP/scratch damage
accountmadeforants: @Laserbeaks_Fury Yeah, but there are Base Attack skills that mark, or give the enemy a 1-turn debuff, or make your next attack deal more damage, etc. So it's a way to stack all of those effects and then do a regular one. And it boosts Perfect, especially with the skill that makes Base Attacks hit twice.
accountmadeforants: *Perfection
accountmadeforants: And yeah, with the Base Attacks giving extra AP skill, you start next turn at 9 AP.
Wicker_Guide: Yeah there would be so many places in this game that would be really hard to navigate without that rumble feature
Laserbeaks_Fury: I've been a fan since the RUmble Pak on the 64
accountmadeforants: I'm annoyed Sony and Nintendo built these really cool solenoids into their controllers and then devs decide to pretend they're still unbalanced motors
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh yeah the Haptic triggers are amazing
wildpeaks: exactly
accountmadeforants: Yeah, those triggers are wild. There's a site where you can play around with various "effects" using them, and that convinced me everything should be designed for the PS5 controller.
Laserbeaks_Fury: The DualSense is remarkable, and no games hardly use it's features
RockPusher: Other paper tissue products are available
accountmadeforants: The Xbox controller really is holding us back
Laserbeaks_Fury: Hmm, I wonder if this is where a thing happened
Laserbeaks_Fury: I like everyone gets their own moment with the grave
Wicker_Guide: Verso: broods awkwardly
RockPusher: I am a sucker for the tear leaving a clean streak in the dirt
Wicker_Guide: Your regular reminder that Alice Dupont-Percier's day job is at the Opera National de Paris
