RockPusher:
true, this one was for putting in the found pile tho 
TXC2: touché
RockPusher: Found: Wandering monster. Never lost.

TXC2: CONTACT
ratbabyonline: we've got movie sign!
Manae:
ratbabyonline: er... news sign?
TheMerricat: We get signal?! Main screen turn on!
ContingentCat:
bytecaster: The street, it yearns to be punched
bytecaster: Oh, wait, no, the street has already been punched, now the news get to be punched
ratbabyonline: @TheMerricat Paul's givin' her all she's got captain!
RockPusher: Do I want brunch? [has brunchistential crisis]
FoxBehindTheTree: french toast to be specific
TXC2: Brunch: the sophisticated 2nd breakfast
TheMerricat: So chat, for those of you who did your homework. Who is more weirded out that Sonic did a promotional crossover with timberland boots thsn the fact that the boots were lackluster? I mean exactly where is the Venn diagram for people who enjoy Sonic and people who buy timberland?!
Juliamon: I'm more concerned that there's a "lace colour code"
TXC2: TODAY!
Juliamon: and that multiple comments pointed out that blue laces means 'cop killer'
ContingentCat: @TheMerricat I'm more upset they put the wrong number of laces on the one on the shirt, sonic isn't even wearing real tims
Bruceski: Point Point Chill Club
RockPusher: Beej is eepy
ratbabyonline: Sleeppoint
TXC2: hello Paul, Heather and Beej
gualdhar: can't believe you made Beej wake up early
Invitare: monster detected
TXC2:
would have had Chillpoint at 8pm here in UKland 
ratbabyonline: 3am chillpoint
ContingentCat: get Jordynne editing the vods to really gaslight us
ratbabyonline: changing the schedule to be entirely in beeps, the time format create by swatch

RockPusher: ♫ Woke up this morning, bought myself a game… ♫
RockPusher:
Tiltyfriends, I think we got 'em! 
drawnbinary: Oh I've been refreshing Twitch and I guess I don't get to know ChillPoint already started
Bruceski: Seems to vary depending on bundle, occasionally I run into something on Steam which doesn't pro-rate like that
Joecool190: get his ass Heather
TheMerricat: I'm almost a minute late, but just a warning to chat about Paul's mention of Steam bundles. DO double check that the bundle you are purchasing actually is set up to work that way. It seems to be the 'default' but often the more predatory publishers will disable the ability to deduct the price of the games you already own from the bundle price.
TXC2: what's your Yaku ?
ratbabyonline: i found the trick to learning mahjong in yakuza is to have someone who actually knows mahjong explain yakus to you while playing
LoadingReadyRun: good point @TheMerricat
bytecaster: I love calling it "Latency stuff", like the feature is just "Add some latency"
EvilBadman: Sure sounds like my old TCL, lol
bytecaster: How much latency would you like?
bytecaster: It's nice that they add features everybody wants to turn off.
TXC2:
Dark HDR, the range the light industry doesn't want you to know about
RockPusher: No, no, a rant against motion smoothing is always an important PSA
bytecaster: It's enchrichment
RockPusher: TVs need to stop trying to be smart
RockPusher: display the damn pixels the device gives you
TXC2:
RockPusher all products need to stop with that
TheMerricat: So... I have never heard a good use case for motion smoothing to ever be left on.
EvilBadman: @TheMerricat Live sports is like the only thing
Garfy400: Yeah that threw me completely
RockPusher: *Heather-UI pops up* [Recalibrating]
Laserbeaks_Fury: and *none* of them have X in the same place
EvilBadman: x on the x-axis or riot
Marvoleath:
They should all use WASD instead 
bytecaster: VIM controls for everbody
LordZarano: PlayStation: Where X means "yes"
ContingentCat: it's almost like you've been playing them at least weekly for a while
NoxStryx: I hate the letters. I think someone should start making button that are labeled (heart) (club) (diamond) (spade)
Marvoleath: @LordZarano that does match Japanese culture though, X is "correct" and O is "incorrect"
LordZarano: @Marvoleath Nope, X is batsu, O is maru
EvilBadman: @Marvoleath No, backward. JP games usually have the correct O = yes, X = no; which it should be. They get swapped in the west (and sometimes have an option to swap back)
RockPusher: Miku Miku button
Marvoleath: oops, you're right, chat
NoxStryx: Letters have less meaning to them, it is more like just a symbol
bytecaster: Did Beej just reboot?
RockPusher:
We're on a branch line!
Marvoleath: @EvilBadman yea, got that backwards, apparently it used to be O to confirm on earlier playstations?
RockPusher: Nah, put Miku into the arcade
RubikDarkwill: De-railed, now? Were we ever ON the rails? We haven't even done the intro!
bytecaster: When you go to Karaoke, it should just be Space Channel 5
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's not even the button marking, Nintendo games typically use different *positions* for Yes and No
RockPusher: I think it'd be 5 then where you play Haruka being an idol
RockPusher: and the dance battles
bytecaster: Always go Miku-mode!
LordZarano: @Marvoleath Yeah, old Japanese PS games used the Nintendo layout essentially
RockPusher: Have you SEEN Heather play Miku on hard‽
gnyrinn: Europa Universalis: Miku mode
RockPusher:
Is this a record for a Chillpoint derail? 
mtvcdm: Videogames you say
ratbabyonline: ohhh beejnana
RockPusher:
EvilBadman: I've had to tell so many people in my org that is how it's spelled
Juliamon: nannerless
gualdhar: the Nonana run, if you will
EvilBadman: @Juliamon sansnana
LordZarano: Banan't
bytecaster: All my bananas, gone
EvilBadman: For sale, many bananas, never nabbed
bytecaster: Coinless behavior
kingandcommoner: in bananza, it's so much fste not to get banans
Laserbeaks_Fury: Ringless Sonic
TXC2:
Laserbeaks_Fury so Amy? 
EvilBadman: All the gates are boss fights, and the bosses drop bananas after that you can avoid.
Marvoleath: @LordZarano I was thinking about ✔️meaning "wrong", got that confused
ContingentCat: Donkey Souls
RockPusher:
EvilBadman: co-op mode is so much fun. Az just gets to spam Pauline shouts for mass chaos
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah, it kinda looked like Zelda where you can approach puzzles in multiple ways
ArcOfTheConclave: the totk hoverbike was really fun but not needed
Lord_Hosk: I really really really want to buy timberlands and then fake the sonic embossing
TXC2:
they look like hiking boots that would last about 5 mins
ContingentCat: I noticed there's the wrong number of laces too so Sonic's wearing knockoffs
Izandai: The embossed Sonic should be wearing boots with an embossed Sonic wearing boots with an embossed–
ratbabyonline: Fun fact, in shoe lace code (usually in regards to doc martens) Blue laces means you love cops!
ratbabyonline: oh lmao someone just posted that
ratbabyonline: oh and apparently the code has been reversed now
TheMerricat: Red and white laces would be bad.
Kentosaurus: that's the shoe equivalent of cartoon characters having 4 fingers
TXC2: red and black for Shadow and NOTHING ELSE no sir!
e_bloc: odd
ContingentCat: and specifically latterlaced
ratbabyonline: just dont put the hankies in your back pocket
TXC2: it's a visual shibboleth
RockPusher: I'd be fine with them being low key if it wasn't only 30 pairs
ratbabyonline: who made the choice that the timbs wouldnt be coloured
Laserbeaks_Fury: Steeltoed
ContingentCat: maybe he likes fluffy socks
bytecaster: As we learned from New Donk City, Mario isn't really normally shaped
ratbabyonline: hes got the highest arches
TheMerricat: @ratbabyonline Real talk, I'm betting Sega. Because they come off as cheap like that.
kingandcommoner: he's just wearing lifts. heaven forbid a short king gain a couple inches
RockPusher: If it was say a season-long product line it would be tastefully understated
TXC2:
they're like this hide the MASSIVE lifts Mario has
TheMerricat: Mario cosplays a plumber.
kingandcommoner: Yes we do
ContingentCat: has kingdom hearts shown feet?
Izandai: We've seen Lion Sora without shoes.
kingandcommoner: he has normal shoes in the 4 trailer
bytecaster: We have seen Sora with a fish tail if that helps?
TheMerricat:
@TXC2 If Mario is wearing lifts NOW... how short is he really? 
SquareDotCube: I will admit the best crossover shoes I've still seen are the outlandish Sailor Moon heels
Diabore: KH4 has a world where he has normal feet yeah
Diabore: the world in the trailer
ratbabyonline: mario actually has no toes its just like, a horse hoof at the end of his foot
mtvcdm: I keep forgetting the internet is filled with cursed things
TXC2: TheMerricat lets say 5ft5
RockPusher:
… now I am thinking about how every time I catch the end of Heather's stream and get startled by the end-screen 
Laserbeaks_Fury: has anyone taken the username SorasLionToebeans yet
Lord_Hosk: I've been on Tumblr... yes Sora has been seen without his shoes on
bytecaster: How deep can we go?
bytecaster: @Lord_Hosk But surely those are non-canonical feet
Marvoleath: and it doesnt even have the 'meme' eyes spread
kingandcommoner: they had to do the shadow one, because the sonic one was traumatizing enough when it was small
ContingentCat: yeah that's so wrong
mtvcdm: It's a bucktooth
SquareDotCube: eh, just rip it off, break the law
e_bloc: someone put his head on a pike
RubikDarkwill: He's drooling the tag
kingandcommoner: this causes cancer in california
ContingentCat: it also should have been more wonky like actual ice cream sticks end up, this just looks like he's been beheaded
bytecaster: They should make an icecream treat matching that plushy
kingandcommoner: that always turns out well
ratbabyonline: pillows shouldnt smell like food
Izandai: That's cute.
ContingentCat: ok that's good packaging
LordZarano: !store
LRRbot:
The LoadingReadyRun store has returned! Merch selection is currently limited but there is more on the way. Check out https://store.loadingreadyrun.com/ and maybe buy a thing or two!
RockPusher:
Marvoleath: chocolate artificial smell gets terrible quite fast
ratbabyonline: you cant lay your head on that pillow for extended amounts of time
TheMerricat: So I had never heard of Jakks before and looked up their site. They are just straight up a merch farm. Is there an IP out there that needs merch? They've got it....
ratbabyonline: I missed checkpoint so much
TXC2: I suspect "perminate" smells also trigger allergies
TheMerricat: free smut games. thanks GOG!
TheMerricat: Visa doesn't say shit because they don't need to, they own like 80% of the market. They and Mastercard are the biggest gorillas in the room but Mastercard is a baby chip compared to Visa.
Marvoleath: Not being able to pay for stuff with your card seems like it would damage the card company's brand tbh
TXC2: ^
Lord_Hosk: This is a Capitialism is weirder than you think
TheMerricat: @Marvoleath The problem with that argument is that you presume that the stated reason for this screw job was the actual reason for the screw job.
ratbabyonline: and the processors and the gateways and everyone takes cuts
gnyrinn: What's an MBNA and why does it suck?
ratbabyonline: (the reason many of these sites werent using ones that explicitly allow adult content is because they take a significantly larger cut)
TheMerricat: @gnyrinn It's a Canadian only thing, I think, that is more of a 'gift card' situation where you top off the card with money instead of having an actual account that it debits from.
ratbabyonline: like this is why restaurants dont take american express they take like 40% of payments
LordZarano: And Steam tried to talk directly to Mastercard to sort it out... And Mastercard refused to respond
TXC2: !patreon
Laserbeaks_Fury: The same thing is happening to NSFW web sites in certain states. There are state law now requiring age verification, and rather than comply, the web sites just block those states, which was the goal
gnyrinn: @TheMerricat I see. Thanks.
TXC2: Laserbeaks_Fury same here the UK, whole bunch of sites now basically blocked
LordZarano: Yeah a bunch of furry stuff had to move to SubscribeStar cause Patreon shut down their accounts without warning
TheMerricat: A number of sites in S. Korea now block anyone outside of it for similar censorship law reasons.
TXC2: turns out regulations matter
TheMerricat: @LordZarano I believe SubscribeStar also enacted a purge too. I've lost track of a number of content creators that have been forced to become nomads as each site get hit.
bytecaster: Fundamentally, we need to move on from the puritans as a society it turns out
ratbabyonline: interact has been around so long its part of why pins are way more common than signing a bill for a credit card purchase
ContingentCat: hey that's a school supply in my books
TXC2:
Cannabis is School supplies.....for the teachers
ratbabyonline: its like how my VPN accepts payments via mailing them money
FinestOtter: Only steam gift cards from now on
ratbabyonline: you dont get it til they get the money though
TheMerricat: Valve becomes their own payment processing system.
jamwno: Just gotta go to the store and buy Steam gift cards
Izandai: Apparently Japan has a system that allows you to pay cash for online transactions. I think you pay at a conbini.
Marvoleath: we do have mobile payment services, which are now in included in basically all bank apps
Marvoleath: and can use that instead of card
ratbabyonline: heather is making a valid point
Laserbeaks_Fury: Is this the equivalent of the FBI getting Capone on tax evasion
TXC2:
it's the same reason why scam calls what you to pay them in Amazon gift cards
TXC2: *want
ContingentCat: yeah gift card scams are an old business now
ratbabyonline: it also kinda validates the smutty games as being "immoral"
Wolfstrike_NL: The thing that stood out to me was, "body mutilation" to also be among the things they don't want...yet we don't have bans on horror or shooty man games :S
RockPusher: Valve do have a history of building their own when someone tries backing them into a corner. As a Linux gamer I have greatly benefited from that.
TheDevil_Risen: again, apologies for those living down here that started all this age verification bullshit and partly for the remove smut from gaming movement too.
RockPusher: Valve building their own card network isn't beyond the realm of possibility in response long-term.
TheDevil_Risen: my country is whacked rn haha
FinestOtter: It's really funny to imagine steam gift cards as another eyebrow raising item at the checkout counter if people largely buy them to get their NSFW steam games
Laserbeaks_Fury: Steam can probably shoulder that transition, but the smaller stroe fronts cant
Marvoleath: sadly, most call centers are now 3rd party, so the mentioned financial pressure of massive calling is lesser than the check point made it look
TheMerricat: @Wolfstrike_NL like all censorship, they 1. only enforce it when it offends THEM. 2. It's always worded loosely enough so that they can label anything they want to be anything they want.
ratbabyonline: the Hayes code was VERY succesful in its goals
Diabore: let the people goon in peace!
LordZarano: @RockPusher "We'll build our own payment system! With open source! And virtual hookers!
LordZarano: *"
TXC2: "wow.....this is boring"
TheMerricat: The biggest problem to becoming your own payment processing system is access to the banks. That is _STILL_ controlled by the government and if you don't play ball with their rules, you don't get to play ball.
Laserbeaks_Fury: That gives way more credit to hatemongers than I'm willing to give
TXC2:
TheMerricat get a better government then
TheMerricat: @TXC2 Oh lordy, oh lordy. I've been trying.
RockPusher: There are options for the platform but not so much on the payment processors
Marvoleath: also, ppl are greedy and will exploit any system they can, so freedom means risk
Marvoleath: see aforementioned crypto
gnyrinn: @LordZarano "We now allow for buying store credit by direct money transfer. Not only that, you can get X% extra (where X is the commission that credit card companies charge) when you do." Valve is big enough to be able to do that.
EvilBadman: A duopoly is marginally better than a monopoly, but still honks.
TheAinMAP:
ratbabyonline: @gnyrinn the big thing with this is you do actually expose yourself to a lot of legal liability when you become a payment processor or credit card or bank
TXC2:
EvilBadman been working great for graphics cards
Laserbeaks_Fury: I love that part of Power Rangers when they said "It's Morphing Time!" and morphed all over the bad guys
Marvoleath: @gnyrinn wait, dont they already kinda have it with steam wallet? can't you pay with a wire on that?
ratbabyonline: super sentai is a different series essentially
ratbabyonline: ishinomori my king
bytecaster: period dramas
Foxmar320: I think you can see that park in one of Graham's vlogs
TheMerricat: @Marvoleath Nope. Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, AmEx, Discover, and JCB are the only allowed payment options digitally. However that doesn't mean you can't buy steam cards in person....
RockPusher: I mean, the amount of stuff on display in most museums is tiny compared to what is in storage
kingandcommoner: No Rita Repulsa?
gnyrinn: @ratbabyonline I don´t know how much you expose yourself to that risk, but I think you could mitigate it by just delaying up to a few days to allow for potential fraud to be exposed. If I would get 5% extra on my Steam Wallet in exchange for it not being simultaneous, I would jump at that.
TXC2:
RockPusher as we learned from Mine O'clock
Laserbeaks_Fury: There's gotta be a way to sumon the Zords somewhere
Laserbeaks_Fury: theres been 2 movies I think
TXC2:
that movie was in 2017
ratbabyonline: its like how theres a bunch of amazon kamen rider series now that are seperate from the main kamen rider canon
ratbabyonline: LRR tokusatsu series when?
Marvoleath: @TheMerricat huh, so that would be country specific, I have an option of a bank transfer, but it is by another payment operator, not directly tbf
RatherLargeToad: I’m still waiting for them to make the obvious Warriors style game for Power Rangers
bytecaster: "A platform"
ratbabyonline: the "concerts" that have just been, prerecorded songs
MalFnord: Somehow, Palpatine returned... in Fortnite
TheMerricat: @gnyrinn So the problem would be for Valve to cut out the payment processors, it would need to be able to access the SWIFT network that the majority of the worlds banks use for transactions. Guess the sort of folk who control that access?
TXC2: right chat I'm off
TheMerricat: Night @TXC2 !
TXC2: goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Paul, Heather and Beej
TheMerricat: I really wished I could play just bots in PUBG.
LordZarano: Goodnight TXC2!
EvilBadman: Marvel Rivals social queue (not comp) will throw you against a bot team if you're on a losing streak
TheMerricat: I DO Heather.
RockPusher: 'night TXC2
kingandcommoner: The game is a battle. Who goes home smiling is a war
gnyrinn: @TheMerricat To be excluded from SWIFT you need to start a literal actual war of aggression. A much higher threshold.
Marvoleath: Bots herding sounds like a futuristic job
RockPusher: The bots are a child soccer team
Piratical_tendancies: So just checked out of curiosity. Skins: red, blue, yelllow, pink, black. Green and white are BP skins and Megazord is some sort of secret skin
ratbabyonline: thats right! they dont charge for the bots
goombalax: competetive modes already had no bots
ratbabyonline: their uncle works at fortnite
gnyrinn: @TheMerricat A much greater risk is if the payment processors cotton on to this method and update their terms to forbid this kind of thing.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Would I know if *I'm* a bot?
ContingentCat: People tend to keep that thought to themselves
Marvoleath:
@Laserbeaks_Fury there is captcha for that
Fuzzra: @Laserbeaks_Fury You're probably not. Though you could be a zimboe . . .
Laserbeaks_Fury: They will never let queue times go long enough to fill 100 players
goombalax: what if players are running bots on their accounts
LordZarano:
Everyone in chat is a bot except you 
TheMerricat: I beleive this is the 'official' tweet.
matthaus_c:
but we love AI opponents-- 
e_bloc: just make the bots so good they always win and piss everyone off
EvilBadman: Does this bot...have a soul?
ContingentCat: they probably wanted to leave some vaugery for if something happens in the future they never said absolutely
Earthenone: i mean most of chat are subs, statisticly many of us are also bots....
kingandcommoner: I only know about it because terminalmontage made fun of it
ArcOfTheConclave: the art scandal
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh is this the Ho-oh using fan art?
TheMerricat: @Laserbeaks_Fury Fan art or AI?
ArcOfTheConclave: the art has been replaced
Earthenone: AI trained on fan art probobly
kingandcommoner: AI upscaled
Diabore: *long beleaguered sigh*
Laserbeaks_Fury: it's Fan art, and Pokemon has a clause saying they can just use anyone's fan art
matthaus_c: plagiarists never fail to underestimate deviantart
Barb4rian: The spiral to the bottom continues
ArcOfTheConclave: I don't think it was ai, just tracing
RatherLargeToad: Don’t need AI for plagiarism. Regular people have been at it for centuries
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's not even tracing, I'm pretty sure I read Pokemon company states they have the right to use any fan art publishe don the internet
Izandai: But a drawing in the same pose isn't going to look *exactly* the same. Not like a tracing.
TheMerricat: @Laserbeaks_Fury That's actually true for all fan works. At least in the US.
kingandcommoner: Pokemon specifically makes sure they don't make anything that looks too much like a popular fakemon
wildpeaks: miscommunication can happen too
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Not tru AFAIK? Any fan work, even infringing, belongs to the original artist
Izandai: Wait so if the artist didn't know, and whoever commissioned the artist didn't know, who grabbed this piece of fanart and added it to the company database?
ContingentCat: yeah I buy that explanation, mistakes happen
SocraticMethod:
@Izandai Probably the same person who got fired from Bungie
Angreed66: Not really fan art is derivative
RubikDarkwill: Assuming they could contact the artist and they respond
ContingentCat: yeah crediting and paying the original artist would have been a good way to deal with this
TheMerricat: @SocraticMethod Yeah, after I said that i looked up where I thought I saw that before. It was an old Star Trek fan story and apparently I misremembered the outcome.
EvilBadman: For a brief time there was just 'New Art Coming soon" on the digital cards too
LordZarano: Missingno.?
RubikDarkwill: Missingno
ContingentCat: lol that would be too clever
ContingentCat: a company being able to poke fun ay themselves is so rare
CAKHost: Hello everyone!
TheMerricat: Legal departments everywhere shudder at the thought of poking fun at themselves.
ContingentCat: that's the issue they're poking mons not themselves lol
Angreed66: Paying for fanart is not legaly sound because it would be admitting that the fanartist has more rights to the work than the actual rights holder
TheMerricat:
Good for them! They got their contract!
RubikDarkwill: And being aquired by Microsoft!
TehAmelie: no, just that they have done good work
ContingentCat:
yaaay unions doing union things
Barb4rian: Uh, COBRA is...not snakes
Nenluen: COBRA = insurance after leaving the job
Barb4rian: ^
EvilBadman: Medical insurance
kingandcommoner: I thought that was MASK
LostThePirate: COBRA is a form of health insurace for after you've left a job
Sundrall: Continuation of Health Coverage
goombalax: COBRA LALALALA
ContingentCat: aw that's less fun
The_Color_Twelve: it lets you keep paying for your health insurance after leaving for a time
Angreed66: aka really important
EvilBadman: @Sundrall This is the real definition. No clue how it is COBRA
NorthstarTex:
sadly relevant for me today 
TheMerricat: @EvilBadman Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
EvilBadman: danke
Laserbeaks_Fury: No, MASK faced off against VENOM: the Vicious Evil Network Of Mayhem
gnyrinn: Are the developers ignoring all the tickets you create? Release the cobras.
LordZarano: Sounds like the Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe episode about how TV is made
BrowneePointz: Sometimes! That's how Matt Mercer got started in VO
EvilBadman: It is def seen as that. Same with CustServ
Ms_LadyMix: In software QA is the intern/junior job, it shouldn't be, it's really important but it is
Ms_LadyMix: Every time I have an experienced QA person it makes my life so much better
BrowneePointz: My buddy in the industry told me that part of why Sonic Boom was so horrid was their QA team was ONE GUY
BrowneePointz: One, Singular Person
BrowneePointz: There was also a lot of hilarious memes about it
Invitare: Chekov wasns't armed
ArcOfTheConclave: oh, that one
BrowneePointz: I think it was the Tencent folks for the Wild Rift mobile version
FPNY41: Also, AI was used to expand the art on an MTG Deckbox
EvilBadman: KDA
Marvoleath: oh, that's terrible
BrowneePointz: Also...if you're gonna do K Pop Demon Hunters...why didn't they use their IN IP KPOP GROUP
wildpeaks: it's soo AI
RockPusher: The Teeth…
SocraticMethod: TBH K/DA was K-pop team before the netflix movie
BrowneePointz: the funniest thing is Riot HAS a Kpop band IN IP!
BrowneePointz: and the Tencent folks DIDN'T USE THEM
EvilBadman: She's got Robocop's infinite ammo gun
mtvcdm: There's a lot I don't like
Barb4rian: Also fully ripping the Frozen character style for the crowd I see
Izandai: This just sucks.
lightfut: This is pretty gross
kingandcommoner: The art style keeps bouncing betwen worse KpopDH and Fortnite
BrowneePointz: those also no animation smears
BrowneePointz: or shot comp
lightfut: Oh no the teeth
mtvcdm: Those mouths
ContingentCat: @Barb4rian it seems to be increasingly the AI style I've ben noticing it everywhere
wildpeaks: the uncanny valley
mtvcdm: MOOOUUUTH
josh___something: Why the hell is it just Yasuo
CAKHost: Was that cloud strife?
Izandai: It looks weird and unpleasant, the choreography is simplistic and boring, there's no continuity...
Barb4rian: @ContingentCat Same. It's almsot like it's meant to appeal to a certain age group...
EvilBadman: Like they have character models and rigging. all the known characters should just be accessible, god
kingandcommoner: I'm surprised AI doesn't look more like Source Video
BrowneePointz: yep no smear frames
BrowneePointz: instant keyframe snap
Izandai: Wow yeah that's weird.
RockPusher: The problem of course, it is Good Enough™ for a critical mass in today's media landscape
ContingentCat: smear frames are one thing
TheAinMAP:
mtvcdm: Smear frames should not be a thing in 3D animation
josh___something: 3nd
Brozard: thud
josh___something: And the reverse A
mtvcdm: 3ind
Marvoleath: 3hd aniversary
josh___something: Concave A
kingandcommoner: there's smear frames and there are smashed playdoh frames
Barb4rian: No breaks for AI slop!
EvilBadman: God, we're gonna have real problems noticing this stuff in like 18months
TheMerricat: That's exactly what it was Beej.
BrowneePointz: It's even funnier it was from the Tencent Arm
Laserbeaks_Fury: yeah, they already have KDA. LIke I thought of that when I heard about KPDH
BrowneePointz: cuz they have even MORE money than Riot
ContingentCat: NO! I don't like that excuse any more than people using the accessibility excuse, small places make amazing art
wildpeaks: not just in 18 monthes, the kind of stuffs you see on some subreddits are already very hard to notice even for the trained eye
Izandai: It looks so weird.
Marvoleath: @BrowneePointz it makes sense, the folks from LA that work on League would not let this happen
Izandai: I sidlike looking at it.
BrowneePointz: last weekend
Izandai: *dislike
TheMerricat: Somehow... EVO happened.
EvilBadman: @wildpeaks i was being very, very minorly optimistic
BrowneePointz: Thursday-Sunday. Biggest FGC event in NA
BrowneePointz: OH YEA this moment!
Juliamon: Hell of a crash out
wildpeaks: omg
Izandai: buddy
ContingentCat: guy?
wildpeaks: oh honey, do you need a hug
goombalax: I do that when I get leg cramps
kingandcommoner: Is he wearing the balls of fury shock vest?
Fuzzra: Khaaaan!
EvilBadman: Perfect things that make sense in context and have the exact opposite out of context
RatherLargeToad: The demons he made a deal with have come for him, apparently
wildpeaks: at this point he might be doing a bit
BrowneePointz: Koji did the same thing against Go1 10 years ago iirc
OldUncleDan: @goombalax Morning Charley Horses are the worst!
BrowneePointz: so he was doing a callback bit, but ALSO able to vindicate losing in Semis
Angreed66: It's either a bit or I'm glad he lost
EvilBadman: @BrowneePointz Yeah, paul's about to show them I imagine, that's the bit here
Izandai: Oooooh
wildpeaks:
ohh that's why
DeM0nFiRe:
Izandai: Okay this is funny now.
kingandcommoner: maybe he's just memeing
DudelidouX: From what I heard he is known for his being over the top
BrowneePointz: it's like Hayato doing full on Splits and yoga/ballroom to the Camera while playing
FPNY41: they could get hired to attend funerals
Brozard: Is he screaming the whole time, or just silent while doing it?
BrowneePointz: some of the FGC Oldheads are VERY Quirky
josh___something: It's pronounced "Go ichi" right? or is that a different player?
BrowneePointz: I think he was dead silent @Brozard
BrowneePointz: his full name is Goichi yes
EvilBadman: MenaRD staring down his rival at EVO is also a great clip out of context
TheMerricat: @Brozard The clip never has sound it's got sportscasters talking instead. But his chest isn't moving much so I don't think he's actually screaming audibly
BrowneePointz: ALSO! The Guy with the Backpack Dog showed up on Coverage at EVO!
BrowneePointz: i can't remember his name, he's a tekken guy
kingandcommoner: Backpack Dog also sounds like a streamer name
FPNY41: there's Backpack Hero
BrowneePointz: iGottaJet
BrowneePointz: that's his name
FPNY41: though I think they're a mouse
TheMerricat: @BrowneePointz "The player Jamie “IGottaJet” Drake participated in a tournament for Tekken 8. However, during the Texas Showdown 2025, he didn’t come alone, but brought along his coach – whom he strapped to his back."

RockPusher: Moostie Boostie

BrowneePointz: Graham did mention Drafts will probably be earlier during the thingy
CAKHost:
Thankless for the stream everyone! 
CAKHost: *thankies
TehAmelie: Crapshoot!
RockPusher: Time to wake up early and write some crap!
CAKHost: Crap shooting. Live!
RockPusher: DON DON
RockPusher:
Paul, I 100%ed Kaizen after seeing you play it on the subathon 
LoadingReadyRun: nice!
RockPusher: I was already a Zachtronics fan so it was an easy sell
RockPusher: It is literally the Zachtronics team
bytecaster: It's PEAK
LordZarano: Zachtronics but now they're called Coincidence Games
niccus: there is a wave of climby games
OldUncleDan: This will be Peak LRR.
RockPusher: Zachtronics but Zach not having to run the company is the impression I get
niccus: people just want to go up and away from the world
bytecaster: Oh right, this is the game they made instead of Going Under 2
RockPusher: ♫ Good Morning Moonbase ♫
FPNY41: sounds like an AM radio early morning drive to work show
Wolfstrike_NL: Jordynne and Cori were during the subathon
RockPusher:
We appreciate Heather and her YouTube powers

The LoadingReadyRun store has returned! Merch selection is currently limited but there is more on the way. Check out https://store.loadingreadyrun.com/ and maybe buy a thing or two!
bytecaster: Synergy!
RockPusher: Yup
EvilBadman: Check your Friday Night's kickstarter address!
TehAmelie: Nuclear Nightmare is very much "what it we could play The Thing (1982)?"
TehAmelie: but then, what's wrong with that
RockPusher: Beej clicks the whole thing!
bytecaster: Simply back something random on Kickstarter and test it out!
ContingentCat: It tends to be hidden in the account settings
LordZarano: Yeah I scrolled through the DFTBA creators thinking I wouldn't recognise anyone and I recognised like 1/5 of them, which is A LOT
DoomBringerIL: howdy chat!
TheDevil_Risen: all good, saw the update earlier on KS
TheDevil_Risen:
glad to get my signed mat posted my way soon
TheDevil_Risen: thanks Beej !!!
RockPusher:
Beej has to somehow coordinate all the people to do the signing - I imagine that will be harder than it sounds
bytecaster: Ouji?
TheDevil_Risen: i know things have been hell recently with the warehouse et al
TheDevil_Risen:
TheAinMAP: Thank you for streaming.
vinewood_og:
TheDevil_Risen: thanks heather and paul as well for the stream
TheDevil_Risen: ! baiii !
ContingentCat: thanks Heather Paul and Beej
DoomBringerIL: apparently i'm banned from channels i've never been in and never visited or chatted.. is it possible?

LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Friday Night Paper Fight (Many Magic the Gathering players ask the question, wanna watch LRR play paper Magic? This week we're drafting Mystery Booster 2! Game: Magic: The Gathering) at Fri 04:00 PM PDT (56m from now).
DoomBringerIL: under reason it says "neighborhood watch".. what is that?
ContingentCat: !advice
LRRbot: Make Child
Wolfstrike_NL: on twitch?
ContingentCat: no Lrrbot
RockPusher: !badadvice
LRRbot: Don't listen to your spouse.
RockPusher: interesting pairing
CAKHost: Lrrbot ??????
Juliamon: DoomBringerIL Sounds like you made some bad choices around people who are friends with other streamers
Juliamon: Because... it's a community. a neighborhood. What happens on one stream doesn't happen in isolation.
SymphonySolstice: I don't know if there's one for twitch but there are extensions for other social medias that allow someone who blocks an account to also simultaneously block everyone who follows that account
SymphonySolstice: that's my first thought anyways
Juliamon: There are definitely public blocklists that streamers use
DoomBringerIL: @Juliamon only controversy i had was regarding somthing political which i refused to engage with.. cuz politics leads to nowhere... how do i know what happened?
Marvoleath: I think mods also get an option to ban ppl in all channels they mod at once?
Anubis169: Marvoleath: that API command has been deprecated
Anubis169: though it still works
Anubis169: it's just not accessible by normal means
Marvoleath: huh
DoomBringerIL: @Juliamon thanks i'm not very twitch savvy... i'm from mIRC days
Juliamon: DoomBringerIL That's what the ban appeal function is for
Anubis169: wait i think i misread that
Anubis169:
DoomBringerIL: same, from ircII days 
Juliamon: hell yeah, good ol' IRC
RockPusher: Deprecating a moderating tool seems like an ill-advised choice. I hope they have a good reason for it.
Anubis169: RockPusher: I misread the question, there was an old JTV mod command to ban all users in a channel at once, usable by the channel owner
DoomBringerIL: @Juliamon will try it before the next stream start
RockPusher: oh yeah, a banall would I think be more about goofs than actual helpful moderation
LordZarano: You can still chat on Twitch with irc. Case in point: Hi!
Juliamon: also, JTV was a different internet era
Anubis169: Only reason I know about it was about 7 years ago, another channel i mod in had a mod's account get hacked and left in a funny state where it couldn't be banned. We had to use its sister command 'de-mod all' via an API poke which purged all the channel mods including the hacked one
RockPusher: I used the IRC bridge for Twitch for a while, but once my non-Twitch usage waned it just became more convenient through the standard interface
Juliamon: haha
Anubis169: <-- this client is irssi, with a couple of python scripts for convenience
Anubis169: i'm on the raspberrypi
Juliamon: oh, you're right
Juliamon: I'll go ping Paul
RockPusher:
eh, they'll notice when the paper fight starts
SymphonySolstice: paul left the stove on!
Marvoleath: oh, i though it was just firefox getting stuck on "live" again
RockPusher: it's not mystery overnight stream time
Anubis169: nah the checkpoint logo's still rotating
Marvoleath:
someone gotta roll the Sims
Juliamon: always look for animation!
SymphonySolstice: twitch has been really finicky with firefox for me the last bit
Marvoleath: Goodbye!
RockPusher:
Juliamon: (mostly only applicable to this show and MoC, but the "LRR Streams" swaps with the logo about once a minute, so watch for that too)
DoomBringerIL: stream is still running?
Juliamon: Off now
Anubis169:

DoomBringerIL: @juliamon 10x! will seek ur advice on the blue screen start of next stream
Anubis169: right, stretch time, food and drink, bio breaks
Anubis169: get some blood moving in those legs!
LordZarano: Yeah FFZ's "refresh stream without refreshing the whole page" button has been very handy recently
RockPusher: I should think about putting on some socks
RockPusher: warm up the little piggies
Anubis169:
sounds like a plan 
SymphonySolstice: I should go outside before we get our 3rd thunderstorm in 24 hours
RockPusher: Gloves! For your feet!
Anubis169: when you've been outside changing a tyre, or trudging through a puddle to get to the car and it's a long drive home, nothing beats putting on a fresh pair of socks instead of using the sodden ones for 45min to 10h
Anubis169: 1h*
DoomBringerIL: @SymphonySolstice the envyyyyy... we have 10 days of 35C+ degrees
DoomBringerIL: would trade places with u in a heartbeat
SymphonySolstice: I think we've stolen all the moisture for the entire US this year, it's been nothing but rain since mid june
Anubis169:
35c? whereabouts are ya?
SymphonySolstice: on the plus side I am growing broccoli the size of my head
DoomBringerIL: @Anubis169 middle east... would rather not say more... apparently i was geo-location banned
Anubis169: man i've always wanted to tour there, so much history
Anubis169: but maybe when things have quietened down
DoomBringerIL: @Anubis169 up until 2 years ago i would've literally said ur happily invited anytime... but currently i would not recommend it
DoomBringerIL: llike... it's safe... but the country is mentally broken and tired
Anubis169:
one day when everything's better
DoomBringerIL: yup! i hope by next u could get the full experience and would even be able to travel to our neighbors (something i can never do) and see a lot of their culture as well
DoomBringerIL: by next year*
Anubis169: it's my aim to visit every country and culture at least once
Anubis169:
currently up to 21 countries which is only a chip off the top

DoomBringerIL: pro tip: july-august will give u a good impression of what HELL is like.... so try planning around that
DoomBringerIL: thats true for the entire region not just the democracies...
Anubis169: we had a 44c summer in UK once, my driveway melted (there are two little divvets from the car jack wheels)
Anubis169:
tried jacking the car up and the jack sank into the tarmac
DoomBringerIL: @Anubis169 only 174 more to go
