iris_of_ether: I'm gonna need some James no spray bottle emotes in chat, please
yalc321: Culture is more like a bridge made out of ants
artdecosunburn: A meme is a meme is a meme. It's cultural tidbits all the way down.
RebekahWSD: I should look for a genasi mod
notthepenguins: yes, the elephant cop is the worst
RebekahWSD: I liked the elephant cop. Dingus it was
notthepenguins: they also really want to pin crimes on Literally Anyone iirc
RebekahWSD: Tiny flying elephant
Bruceski: Is that Act 3? I got through act 2 and said "neat game, but I think I'm done now. Can't handle another arc."
RebekahWSD: Act 3 yeah
artdecosunburn: @notthepenguins "An elephant never forgets . . . whom to frame."
RebekahWSD: Towards the start of Act 3

iris_of_ether: A friend linked an article stating that people using AI for code think they're going faster, but on measurement their productivity has noticable drops
Earthenone: @Gekyouryuu everyone just wants to fit in
Voidhawk42: Waiting for the monkeys at the typewriter
SquareDotCube: Is coyote time quantum gravity

JessieImproved: "vibes of math"
Jundinator: Thanks Trump
JessieImproved: In slightly good news, France has given a bunch of scientists jobs
Blip2004: in fun news, I found out you can download the first season of Lexx from the internet archive
a_frosty: isomer? I barely know 'er
Anubis169: braaaain draaaaaain
LithelyUnshod: *Did
ContingentCat: Or it used to
SquareDotCube: kind of like how Ian made a noise when he crushed his geminals
Jundinator: Trump be dumb
JessieImproved: There's a great Adam Ruins Everything about science funding in the US, at least what it used to be
Anubis169: Lexx's first season was the 4 movies right?
Anubis169: Kai with the wrist brace
Blip2004: Nope, don't care about actors, just weird shows. And to be clear, I was not born in 2004 as people assume.
Gekyouryuu: Speaking of "lex", the new superman movie was good
artdecosunburn: @JessieImproved Heck of a way to celebrate the anniversary of "Science, The Endless Frontier."
ContingentCat: Yeah I heard it's surprisingly good
Bruceski: When not being subversive becomes subversive.
KV1NN4: @Anubis169 ...i think the movies were broken up into episodes where i first saw it... i'll ask my friend who introduced me when i see him later, he'll remmeber (since he recorded it off tv to show me XD)
artdecosunburn: Hoult was the Riddler on "Gotham," right?
Gekyouryuu: Most comics accurate luthor in years, just a jealous little hater
Darleysam: he plays a good Weird Little (6ft) Guy
Blip2004: @Anubis169 it is 4 hour+ mini series episodes
Jundinator: Through TETRIS
JessieImproved: Hollywood is tall
artdecosunburn: Imagine how different medieval history would be if Charlemagne had to assemble his empire from Tetris-like duchies dropping from the sky.
Bruceski: Slenderman Superman
iris_of_ether: Mood
Voidhawk42: Hypno Bonnet
KV1NN4: i saw a fan comic of Superman saving a bunch of cats from Luthor's most recent terrible evil plan (solving the stray cat problem of Metropolis by dropping them from a great height?) Superman was so happy to rescue so many kitties
LithelyUnshod: In my head Superman is 6'4". Lex is 5'10"
Gekyouryuu: His full name is Super Awkward Man
CaptainSpam: "Now, we're not ALLOWED to say the word 'Tetris' when describing our gameplay, BUT..."
KV1NN4: wait this is basically tetris????? .....shit *goes ot wishlist*
Gekyouryuu: "I am the man who arranges the blocks that descend upon me from up a-bove~"
kusinohki: Tetris or cartographers?
artdecosunburn: Are the gaps in the Duchy terrain just holes in the space-time continuum?
ContingentCat: Gesundheit
couchboyj: Morty
Wiliart: You can do better/louder Cameron!
Gekyouryuu: @kusinohki tetrographers
InconsiderateHat: Yeah shoulda let you pre-game
ContingentCat: How dare they
iris_of_ether: Omfg
shushu2539: extended range
couchboyj: Higher longer better faster stronger
notthepenguins: then i have a friend who would start watching your streams
Bruceski: Dedicate your life to getting classified information to leak on the War Thunder forums.
RandomTrivia:
We're already here, you don't have to sell it to us 
notthepenguins: As far as I know that's what he did with a chunk of his free time for years so
SquareDotCube: I mean, you could start with a Talking Sim on DCS and borrowing Ian's Thrustmaster (if it's working)
iris_of_ether: I see we're back on HoTAs(s)es again
notthepenguins: Probably yes
artdecosunburn: "Not with forest" -- Cameron, and MacBeth
Gekyouryuu: Cam, Cori, I'm curious: since it's the new* (to many English speakers) hotness, any interest in checking out Umamusume sometime?
RebekahWSD: Horse giiiirls
notthepenguins: horse girls yes
notthepenguins: its new hotness in english but not new-new
RebekahWSD: Yeah, the game came here on steam like, a month ago?
KV1NN4: i'm of the age where it hink of Monster Musume.... i didn't think that much of it
Gekyouryuu: Hence why I specified
RockPusher: DDD is *very good*
notthepenguins: I love that horse girl
notthepenguins: but I don't like her story
iris_of_ether: I love that rye grass story

NorthstarTex: also DDD is amazing
Gekyouryuu: Based on a real horse who had 113 races and 0 wins
Gekyouryuu: She's one of 5 starters
notthepenguins: Haru the real horse is being bombarded with gifts of extra delicious grass
Amentur: The real life Haru Urara is getting lots of tasty grass delivered to her thanks to the game coming to the West
iris_of_ether: Where fans are buying the IRL Haru Urara kilos upon kilos of good grass
notthepenguins: and that's delightful
iris_of_ether: Yeah that haha
RebekahWSD: I like T. M O Opera a lot in the game.

SquareDotCube: When do we get the mashup Densha De Dandadan?
NorthstarTex: large tracks of land!
RockPusher: Huge… tracts of land
CaptainSpam: Behold our vast tracts of land! Wait...
shushu2539: it's too late for math
artdecosunburn: What's a margariavte among friends?
Bruceski: Duchy? More like douchy. Got 'em!
artdecosunburn: Dukes tend to be a little higher. Margaraves sort of straddle dukes and counts. Depends if you're England, France, or HRE.
CaptainSpam: Have we made any jokes about passing the Duchy 'pon the left hand side yet?
Gekyouryuu: Teach me how to Duchy. Teach me, teach me how to Duchy
artdecosunburn: @Gekyouryuu Best way is to marry your railroad baron daughter off to a duke for that sweet Gilded Age American lucre.
LithelyUnshod: @CaptainSpam My hands were not near my keyboard, so I missed my shot XD
Bruceski: aligned is same row or column
kusinohki: I think they tried to reboot encyclepedia brown and all the kids asked "what's an encyclepedia??"
artdecosunburn: @kusinohki "Wikipedia Brown" v
artdecosunburn: He gets into an edit war with Bugs Meany.
kusinohki: I'm a little angry at how good that is...
artdecosunburn: "First you get the money, then you get the duchy."
CaptainSpam: This game looks interesting thus far.
kusinohki: tetris deckbuilding roguelike?? I might have to stop watching before I randomly buy this...
bytecaster: Hello fellow duchy droppers, how goes the tetromino town building?
bytecaster: The road house belongs in the corner, it knows what it did
CaptainSpam: Nobody puts road house in the corner! Wait, am I getting my references crossed again...
artdecosunburn: Putting things in corners is the other Swayze movie, Cameron!
CaptainSpam: Dangit, I got that wrong, too!
artdecosunburn: It's the best summer camp underground abortion Catskills movie.
bytecaster: Turns out "a bit of an assault" has always been problematic, who knew
artdecosunburn: Borscht Belt. 1950s Jewish summer resorts.
Gekyouryuu: Pre-tirement
ContingentCat:
iris_of_ether: Liquid or floral canola?
artdecosunburn: You can honeymoon at the resort in Virginia where they filmed "Dirty Dancing." Apparently it's a big thing.
Bruceski: Better than a plantation
SquareDotCube: given Herborist is in the game, when it likely means Arborist...
OldUncleDan: Drop all the Dutchies on the Left Hand Side!!!!!!!!!
iris_of_ether:
ContingentCat: wow
bytecaster: The children are ALLOWED to pick it
couchboyj: The children yearn for the fields
Trahas: well, they are allowed to pick cotton, i am not sure they are allowed to keep it
artdecosunburn: "Let" is not quite the verb I associate with plantations.
e_bloc: I bet they don't pay the children either
artdecosunburn: @e_bloc "It builds character!"
KV1NN4: the kids weren't even allowed ot keep the cottont hey opicked
bytecaster: @e_bloc If they paid them, that would be child labor and not an "education experience" so they can't pay them!
kusinohki: "I don't know if cam can handle whitewashing this fence...." - Tom Sawyer (?? or Huck Finn I can't remember)
artdecosunburn: @kusinohki Tom Sawyer. Nice pun.
KV1NN4: but yeah i remember this from someone who did this; they wrren't paid and didn't get to keep the cotton
bytecaster: Sometimes the tetris pieces just don't want you to make it nice, I know that terror well
artdecosunburn: @KV1NN4 Are you sure your friend wasn't in pre-1863 Georgia?
bytecaster: Perfect giant forest
KV1NN4: @artdecosunburn Wasn't a friend, it was someone's tumblr - also you'll be amazed how many culturally insensitive lessons still happen as recently as last year in the States
shushu2539: axe them some questions
bytecaster: I can never remember the weapon triangle, I always need to double check
artdecosunburn: @KV1NN4 I'm American and live in the South, I can believe it.
Bruceski: yeah, it's not an easily intuited triangle
bytecaster: Yeah, you can never fix your mistakes because of no line clearing
e_bloc: how do we also make it a metroidvania
OldUncleDan: Okay this looks pretty cool. Not gonna lie. Like to roguelike Tetris thing just like Emberward TD.
artdecosunburn: "Optimal packing" sounds like dystopian Amazon Corp. jargon.
bytecaster: I think it is an interesting choice between optimal packing and optimizing your buildings that gives this depth
ContingentCat: @artdecosunburn alturnately something you'd overhear in a conversation of transmen
bytecaster: Yeah, you kinda wanna do combat as much as possible
OldUncleDan: Just wishlisted this game. Good chance I may get it next pay day.
artdecosunburn: @ContingentCat Both involve creative uses of tissue paper, true.
bytecaster: Funny that we talked about optimal packing, enter: The wall
Gekyouryuu: One of my favorite bits in all of Fate/Grand Order was when Morgan le Fay pays you 3 million non-gacha currency to fuck off at one point
Gekyouryuu: Sorry 300 million
artdecosunburn: It always amuses me that "generic Medieval Europe" is the default for so many games.
bytecaster: Lets pack optimally!
bytecaster: The encounter ends if you exceed the wall
bytecaster: Reading the screen explains the screen
SoulSurgae: you can combine enemies to convert too
CaptainSpam:
Your oofa has been doofa'd. 
ContingentCat: can't wait
bytecaster: Cori playing the role of Cam, and Cam playing the role of Cori after the break!
shushu2539: !break
LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to. Don't forget to wash your hands!
shushu2539: !box
LRRbot: In the box is: that Squall comic Graham wanted
bytecaster: It was in the box this whole time?!?

bytecaster: Gold could be anything, even gold
TheAinMAP:
hyalopterous: last hp is the only one that matters
silenceaux: I dunno about land exploitation but I cannot resist a windmill...
shushu2539: you lost to greed before, you sure you want to walk that path again?
bytecaster: Greed is always correct
OldUncleDan: We got the Wheats we got the Wheats... WE GOT THE WHEATS!!!!!!!
OldUncleDan: @silenceaux Is that you, Don Quixote?
bytecaster: @OldUncleDan Nah, we are not tilting today!
OldUncleDan: @bytecaster HAH!
silenceaux: @OldUncleDan Can someone please come collect their lost parent my windmills are in (mild) peril
shushu2539: there should be a hard difficulty setting that turns the square tiles into hexagons
bytecaster: I find it interesting how they can balance building effects against the shapes, like a good effect can have a bad shape and vice versa.
bytecaster: It is an interesting axis of balance
bytecaster: That is a lot of arrows, but I'm sure it's fine
shushu2539: just saying Cori wouldn't had made that mistake
e_bloc: the past is prologue
Geldaran: #blameJames.
silenceaux: Are you here to play Tetris
bytecaster: Maybe we are tilting after all
Sethalidos: I agree blame James
bytecaster: Our Duchy might be in trouble
bytecaster: Our Duchy wasn't in trouble!
ContingentCat: you're not wrong
Sethalidos: But do you know the Muffin Man?
Gekyouryuu: off topic, but Cori you may appreciate this: a super busted support card of Kitasan Black is coming to NA Umamusume soon, and someone in a discord I'm in, for a summoning catalyst, has a picture of her edited into the Kamen Rider Black and Black RX dual henshin from Decade

OldUncleDan: Ah... The U.S. heathcare system!

JauntyJenkies: not dead!
Boiler_bot: ouchies
kyless2106: So glad to see y'all playing this game! Bought it on a whim and have dropped like 30 hours in so far, quite addicting!
e_bloc: heh, I just got my button from CK yesterday with "make them have it:
NornsFelidar: where do you heal?
kyless2106: @NornsFelidar top right corner
NornsFelidar: thanks
kyless2106: It'll have a little symbol under to click and heal when not in a menu
CaptainSpam: Actually, I find mountains more craggy than round.
Mai_Andra: They are round.
kyless2106: All of the Factions can be rough to pilot till you get some of the Faction Quests finished and get some upgrades and unlocks
kyless2106: The Duchy and The Order were imo the hardest "out of the box" to get a good groove with, but The Duchy quickly becomes a much easier to pilot option
iris_of_ether: Standard Temperature and Pressure?
JauntyJenkies: Oh look and another hidden cave
Boiler_bot: @kyless2106 Oh, there are factions?
kyless2106: @Boiler_bot Yepper, the Three base ones are The Duchy, The Republic, and The Order. Each has unique playstyles and faction related buildings and tech cards and you progress them with the faction quests
kyless2106: Dev has a roadmap with a fourth coming later this summer as well!
Boiler_bot: Oooh, what's the Republic like?
kyless2106: Republic involves building a sprawling city across tiles and also lets you upgrade a central belfry to insane power levels
kyless2106: A good run for Duchy getting to Act 2!
Boiler_bot: Cool. Any tips for someone wanting to start with The Republic?
kyless2106: @Boiler_bot Biggest thing there is just to make sure you pay attention when placing tiles and having conversion occur that all of your city tiles are at least connected by one square. The city has big buffs for having them all connected and you lose any that are not
Boiler_bot: Okay, sweet.
GapFiller: Morty
KV1NN4: jokes on you i'm still too high to be burped out of it
KV1NN4: legally
JauntyJenkies: troops do turn into money would be the only thing with that
KV1NN4:
silenceaux: One thing I've noticed is that you can't do messy clears to make space for elbows
Wiliart: Any troops left can collect taxes?
OldUncleDan: Weapon Exporting!
kyless2106: Cori has gotten some really good early rolls for buildings for Duchy lol

notthepenguins: I have 100% steam linked games from my pc to my tablet twelve feet away
iris_of_ether: Myst x rogue like is the elevator pitch
notthepenguins: i used to exclusively FPS with a trackball
Molladia: @SkylerRingtail Next?
GapFiller: used to be a trackball mysln
LordZarano: @Molladia You get your Bloop, and then you rinse it
GapFiller: stopped mostly due to not being able to find em anymore

iris_of_ether: Amazing
SquareDotCube: It's great... if you're playing DM_17 and on the railgun platform...
