LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: ChillPoint (Paul, Beej and Heather chat about Video Games and Video Game related news!) at Fri 01:00 PM PDT (7m from now).
RockPusher: !search for treasure
LRRbot: You find: a Pit Trap!
RockPusher sets up camp in the pit trap
RockPusher: Here, I brewed some Pit-Tea
RockPusher: We can all have a Pit-Tea Party!
Angreed66: boo this chatter
RockPusher:
TXC2: Hello everybody
RockPusher: ohai TXC2
TXC2: hello RockPusher
TXC2: CONTACT

LRRbot: Quote #1653: "This is called a TERP: Terrain... Something something something something something." —Paul [2016-01-25]
gualdhar:
So, clearly nothing happened this week, so we checkpoint for 5 minutes and call it good 
Akaiatana: Chillpoint. Check is the preshow.
LilyOfTheVeil666 subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 80 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, LilyOfTheVeil666! (Today's storm count: 3)
Xed_Regulus: I need to rewatch Road Quest
TXC2: ah yes this hype song for chillpoint
RockPusher:
RockPusher: SPOON™
TXC2: SALOON
couchboyj: SPLATOON
richard_ermen: Hah, saw the bluesky-announcement just in time!
richard_ermen: I am not accustomed to Chillpoint being this early in the day.
RockPusher: !findquote spoon
LRRbot: Quote #3405: "You can't drink your beer without your spoon!" —Ben [2016-09-14]
TXC2: TODAY!
saiarcot895: PAUSE IT
TXC2: some good science there
Snowcookies: yay chillpoint!
richard_ermen: I'd say at som point there is not enough videogame news
RockPusher: Sneakers is very good
Akaiatana: Beej is a Sneakershead. The second S is important.
TheMerricat: Sneakers is uplifting.
TehAmelie: don't think i've even heard of it
TXC2: TehAmelie early 90's techno-thriller
Akaiatana: Beej is no scrub
OldUncleDan:
Sneakers had such a great cast! Angelina Jolie, Fisher Stevens, Mathew Lillard... 
couchboyj: All 90s Trek is better if you start on season 2
BlueMechanic: skip all the stuff with Swiftwind
TXC2: OldUncleDan hackers, now there's a movie I need to see again
RockPusher: Just "Hey Adora" on a loop
TXC2: couchboyj sole exception being DS(
OldUncleDan: @TXC2 It is a really fun movie.
TXC2: *DS9
richard_ermen: Nobody else here? Sure the Paul-Clones are around?
TheMerricat: But..... but... Beejlander!
couchboyj: DS9 season 1 is fine, but it hits its stride season 2, so I stand by what I said. And I love DS9.
TXC2: !youtube
iris_of_ether: TapTapChillcede
OldUncleDan: Heck, even B5 is better if you just go from season 2 to season 4.
SocraticMethod: Magic magic magic magic. Magic magic magic. Magic! Magic magic=
Akaiatana: @OldUncleDan Ah, I also learned that organically
RockPusher: "as much"
richard_ermen: Beej's level of professionalism remains astoundiing!
richard_ermen: I wonder if not remaking the original story also a mistake because of how little these stories are being touched upon in the cultural zeitgeist outside of their own players
RockPusher:
Dipping that peanut butter media philosophy into the chocolate of comedy news show 
SocraticMethod: IMO fans deserve a mainline story that is not made by Paul W. S. Anderson, just to set up the plot
SocraticMethod: After that feel free to go ham
Juliamon: It's the opposite of the Spiderman problem
RockPusher: Numerous movies, some of them even mediocre!
RockPusher:
EikoandMog: The Anderson movies were made just so his wife could be hot. He has gone on record saying this.
RockPusher: There are worse reasons for making a movie
TheMerricat: The first movie was 2/3 of the first game
RockPusher: being a wife guy seems like a solid motive
TXC2: man got paid to make his hot wife look hot, dude living the dream
SocraticMethod: @RockPusher Unfortunately the side effect of that was dead and maimed stuntpeople
EikoandMog: @TheMerricat It goes way off the rails in that last third, yeah.
richard_ermen: I don't think anyone understands the timeline of those games
TehAmelie: i started thinking of bands that are always willing to make fans mad by going in different directions with every album, but maybe if you made a continuous series of 25 albums or however many Resident Evil games there are. . .
EikoandMog: Things get kinda dumb in 5 and then it's just... so stupid in 6.
RockPusher: Beej making the mistake of trying to make sense of Resident Evil
Juliamon: after 6 they realized what a mess they'd made and tried to soft-reboot
EikoandMog: Chris has been the most consistently relevant character in Resident Evil.
SocraticMethod: It's similar to bond movies. The main actors enter stay and sometimes leave, the callbacks persist and the locales change
Akaiatana: Village is 8, using the roman numerals VIII
TXC2: resident evil 8age
SocraticMethod: Village is pretty direct sequel of 7
RubikDarkwill: It's the Final Fantasy problem
Izandai: Final Fantasy
Akaiatana: There's a link between all of them, Beej
Izandai: I don't think it's a problem.
TheMerricat: The Zelda Timeline!!!!!
saiarcot895: the timeline supposedly converges all to the events of Breath of the Wild, and then to Tears of the Kingdom
CaptainSpam:
I mean, you SAY it's pretty clear the Zelda games aren't in a continuity, AND YET... 
EikoandMog: I'm looking forward to Silent Hill pulling a Resident Evil 7 with F.
SocraticMethod: Not really, Final Fantasy is anthology wheres REs are connected by protagonists
TXC2: final fantasy is a least reasonably explicit that the games are not related plot or settings wise
Akaiatana: Colons promise the good shit.
Izandai: No that'd be dumb.
CaptainSpam: Then you get the Mother games, which are connected by *antagonists*...
CaptainSpam:
The Final Fantasy numbering is more of a serial number... 
Akaiatana: By the way, Heather, I've been watching your Hollow Knight uploads with great enthusiasm. I can't do the platforming, so I love vicarious views on it.
SocraticMethod: RE is pretty consistent about being a monster movie: the game. The protags and antags from previous installments keep appearing even if the setting changes
EikoandMog:
See: Anderson and ruining Monster Hunter 
EikoandMog: It's interesting and surprisingly faithful.
saiarcot895: Romeo + Juliet is good, and I felt like it was fairly close to the actual play
RockPusher: 10 Things I Hate About You — Taming of the Shrew
TXC2: ^
EikoandMog: "10 Things I Hate About You" is just Taming of the Shrew.
TehAmelie: idea: give each title in your game series a unique name, like book series are expected to
richard_ermen: I wonder if we'll ever get Kenneth Brannagh's "Kenneth Brannagh does Shakespeare" with Kenneth Brannagh as Kenneth Brannagh.
TehAmelie: Final Fantasy 7: Rebel Alliance. wait that doesn't work
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Guy goes to Mars and shoots demons" just doesn't work when you try to have a story
TheMerricat: As a reminder to chat, the actual script for the movie Starship Troopers wasn't even based on the book, they just got the rights to the book name and adapted a script to match it. And that was good.
richard_ermen: Heinlein was a total military nut. No way was that meant as parody.
cosarprime: I don't trust the second group.
TheMerricat: And the people who say the second thing have never actually read Heinlein at all.
Izandai: I feel like we could just ask Verhoven. I think this has a definitive answer that we can obtain.
RockPusher: Paul Verhoeven may just be the King of Poe's Law
TXC2:
pretty sure Paul Verhoeven was a survivor of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands
SocraticMethod: Heinlein has a book in every quadrant of the political compass. The man is a loose cannon
Akaiatana: They learned from Andy Serkis doing stuff
TheMerricat: "Yes, Paul Verhoeven did direct the 1997 film adaptation of Starship Troopers, but he found the book boring and oppressive. He didn't initially intend to adapt the novel but rather was working on a similar project with extraterrestrial bugs and military culture. After being made aware of the book, he licensed the rights and attempted to read it, but ultimately gave up due to his dislike of it."
Laserbeaks_Fury: I'm waiting for it to just come back around to full on costumes and puppetry
Zandivya:
@TheMerricat the book isn't even that long 
TehAmelie: i could tell that from the show
TheMerricat: @SocraticMethod Ehh.... I own every published book by Heinlein. Outside of the books he wrote when he was doing boy lit, he was pretty much solidly far right libertarian leaning to fascy.
richard_ermen: Weird how having a massive nerd who is not ashamed of the source material actually helps with the material being made as a movie or show
ArcOfTheConclave: fallout has a world full of stories, you the player intersect with those stories
TehAmelie: @richard_ermen or the opposite in case of Starship Troopers :3
EikoandMog: I think stuff like Fallout is perfect for making something 'unrelated'.
TheMerricat: When I was still a child and living with far right parents, I pretty much did a circuit of everything writen by Heinlein once a year.
richard_ermen: @TehAmelie Its an interesting dichotomy. Not every work is enhanced by being a clear original to screen-work.
SocraticMethod: Speaking of starship troopers: no, the Buenos Aires wasn't a false flag and I hate how people keep trying to sound smart by positing it.. The inciting incident was mormons trying to colonize the alien territory. Making UCF being the only active party in the movie is most boring option.
ArcOfTheConclave: practical effects are really important
RockPusher: In-camera set-extensions
Izandai: Oh that's hilarious.
TheMerricat: @SocraticMethod In the book yes. In the movie, it's heavily implied to be the opposite.
TXC2: SocraticMethod TheMerricat I always assumed it was a happenstance that is taken advantage of
Wolfstrike_NL: Someone get Jordynne in on this topic
Akaiatana: Makeup cosplayer here, guessing 3-4 hours.
TheMerricat: @TXC2 In the movie the fact that the asteroid hit Earth at all was implied to be partially due to Carmen piloting the ship into it.
TehAmelie: the regime certainly isn't above sacrificing citizens to incite anti-bug opinion. see the doomed to fail initial ground attack
TheWooglie: same thing getting Anthony Daniels into the C3PO suit
richard_ermen: I feel like its only going to get worse.
TheMerricat:
Not that it would save LRR if they had played it but wasn't the determination that you can't claim copyright on AI created work? 
Angreed66: lyrics are often stupid even when made by humans
richard_ermen: The what-app? You mean Twitter?
TXC2:
on UK tv right now, I swear there's an "AI" generated advert for "monster week" on one of the channels
ArcOfTheConclave: I don't believe a single person created that video
iris_of_ether: They used to let you just buy Happy Meal toys without meals, too
TheMerricat: So if there was someone who had been market savvy at McD when that was going on, they should have given the option to folk to buy the happy meals or whatever to get the card and DONATE the meal to a food bank place in lieu of actually cooking it and giving it to them.
ContingentCat: anything limited is going to do that
SK__Ren: I remember the gold plated pikachu and togepi bricks from the first Pokemon Movie. Werent those at McDs as well?
Angreed66: No the fans are 100% to blame
nyoomgoom: @SK__Ren those were burger king iirc
TheMerricat: See Szechuan Sauce.
Juliamon: BK had the Pokemon license first
Akaiatana: For a kids meal, showing you ate your food feels right
googoltudoris: mcdonalds workers get a show!
nyoomgoom: i still have a dragonite keychain from bk, it's one of my faves
couchboyj: it's a thing in Ohio
Cyberegg: I could do it 25 years ago in the UK
GhostValv: Happy Meal hold the Meal
ContingentCat: non burger left none
EikoandMog: none pizza, left beef
DoodlestheGreat: Left beef?
googoltudoris: none burger left mustard
TheMerricat: To answer Heather's implied question. Because McDonalds restaurants are franchises. It's entirely dependant on the owner of the franchise license at that location.
Juliamon: The embarrassment of "I want to buy a toy" vs "I want to buy a mean intended for a child"
Juliamon: *meal
nyoomgoom: i wouldn't be surprised if pokemom company stipulated "people can't just buy packs of cards" special for that promo
Laserbeaks_Fury: I would almost consider just hanging out at McDonalds and just grabbing all the fries
googoltudoris: @Juliamon "i want to buy a mean intended for a child" "you're very rude for wasting all that food"
TehAmelie: we'd get a lot of happy meal toys as the second hand oy store. they still smelled like McDonald's >_>
TheMerricat: "The meals, called Happy Sets in Japan, were meant for children. They came with a toy, such as a tiny plastic Pikachu, and a Pokemon card. They sold out in a day, according to Japanese media reports."
kingandcommoner: Also, how can mcdonalds say "no you can't buy 10 happy meals for your kid's friends"
Laserbeaks_Fury: Can't wait to start collect full art borderless Deeds f Monopoly
googoltudoris: the problem is companies giving consumers what they want
ContingentCat: The unfortunate answer is that this that all mcdonalds cares about is that they're getting a lot of business, the waste and problems for staff are irrelivant to them
Angreed66: The fans deserve the blame shifting the blame to the companies is normalizing terrible fan behavior.
RockPusher: There's the solution - you can only buy as many as you can carry and make it real big
googoltudoris: ich no san? san no ich? i forget how that works in japanese
ArdCollider: my friend's kid worked at a McDs during Rick and Morty Sauce and quit not long after. uncontrolled chaos.
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Sorry to took this long, but I had to double-check. The stranger in a strange land is pretty lib-left in the counterculture way, especially of it's time. It's latter in his life his views calcified. Like Starship Troopers is Heinlein processing his envy of not having actually served in combat and missing what he saw as glory.
mtvcdm: The pachinko parlor of McDonald's
googoltudoris:
@SocraticMethod 
shiiines the naaaaame! Roooodger Yoooung!
saiarcot895: it would be different supply chains, at the very leat
saiarcot895: *least
Lord_Hosk: Mcdonalds delt with this during the Mini-BeanyBabies They would sell the happymeals and ask "do you want the happymeal or just the beany baby" and if you said "just the baby" they would charge you for the meal then just hand you the toy
richard_ermen: Uniklo? You're getting university toilets?
badhaiku: How the heck are you pronouncing that?? you neh clo?? You NI clo I thought
ghyllnox:
saiarcot895: sounds like some ikea furniture
iris_of_ether: Uniqlo
TheAwkes: Pronounce it the Italian way, but poorly; Pay And...
nyoomgoom: when i learned about how they only have part of the set at any given time, suddenly i understood everything about how i'd keep getting the same fricken guy instead of the one i wanted (and since i'd already seen kids with the one i wanted, i had probably missed my chance entirely)
RockPusher: Boggy B. Soft?
saiarcot895: "the other up"
NonjaBiru: Boggy? Like the clown in One Piece?
EikoandMog: PEAK devs were like "Just pirate our game" when they saw the Roblox rip-off.
TehAmelie: i think that's Buggy the clown
TXC2: leave a thought for boggy
TehAmelie: Blocksum could easily be a scholastic sports game
SocraticMethod: I'd argue all asset flips try to pretend what they are not. Namely an actual game.
nyoomgoom: man if they had intramural esports when i was going to school 100 years ago... ... ... i'd still be ass at fps
googoltudoris: my friend was a high school engineering teacher, and sponsored the school League of Legends team
TehAmelie: @nyoomgoom i could have been the national school champion of Quake 3 and been even more bullied for being a nerd
nyoomgoom: *i'd still be ass at fps and moba
Lord_Hosk: There is a state org
nyoomgoom: @TehAmelie nerd club. overlap with the band/choir/theatre kids. strength in numbers. (b plot backstory of pokemon s/v)
TXC2: you'd think by now there'd be a NCAA but for highschool level
kimmibeans: The private schoolds usually have an independent local league
HbombAndFriends: I went to a panel at PAX East where a teacher, her principal, & students & parents were talking about how they used games in their schools, including a nationally ranked esports program
TehAmelie: my school had no clubs (at least as far as they told me)
googoltudoris: @nyoomgoom 25 years ago this was just called "chess club"
Lord_Hosk: In Michigan there is the MHSAA (michigan high school athletic assosiation) and the schools were ranked by enrolment size. A(2000+) B1000+ C 500+ and D (small)
nyoomgoom: by "nerd club" i didn't necessarily mean like a formally organized club, just a sense of camaraderie
TheMerricat: The main problem with esports IMO, video games never last very long. Baseball has been around about 200 years. Even if you include all the various iterations of it, Counterstrike is lucky to claim 20.
SocraticMethod: "Heroes of the Dorm" was an annual college-level tournament and had scholarships in the prize pool. It was pretty neat
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Counterstrike was released in 1999 though.
TehAmelie: i know Warcaft 2 has a highly competitive community. but maybe not very big
TheMerricat: @SocraticMethod Yep.
KaleidoscopeMind: We have /spelling bees/
KaleidoscopeMind: Anything is a competition
HbombAndFriends: Oh yeah, we had marching band competitions in HS.
TXC2: keep in mind that video games as a medium is barely 50 years old
Juliamon: National requires EVERY state to agree. Interstate doesn't.
Lord_Hosk: We had a kid in our High school who was playing in the IHL (minor league) for hocky. And he couldn't play on any of the high school sports teams because he was paid to play hockey... Even though it was only like $50 a month and our school didn't have a hockey team,
TXC2: so esports only being at best 20 years old makes sense
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat So all of it's iterations count as 25 years, right?
TheMerricat: @LoadingReadyRun Interstate because it's only 25 states that have signed up so far.
TheMerricat: @SocraticMethod Yes, my point is it's _lucky_ to claim 20 years. The vast majority of video games that are 'esports worthy' aren't even a decade old.
Juliamon: Slapfight
Akaiatana: Donnybrook
googoltudoris: subnautica 2 is giving me strong KSP2 vibes at this point
TehAmelie: come to think, it's wild to live in an age where a 5 year old sport can become competitive internationally
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Ah, that's how that idiom is used. I think it's going to be less about one game and more about clones and iterations, equivalent to regional variations. There might not always be CS, but there is probably going to be a game about Team A trying to plant a bomb and Team B defend it with low TTK
TheMerricat: I think a lot of the argument against Krafton sorta had the wind taken out of it's sails when Krafton said they'd extend the timeline for the actual folk in the studio to get _their_ portion of the bonus till next year.
TehAmelie: i think they should be having the profits from the first game to fund the sequel rather than selling early access
SK__Ren: Dire is my word of choice
SocraticMethod: A wise man has said: "Rushed game bad, delayed game good, not released game best"
frnknstn: Subnautica is the best-paced survival game so far
TheMerricat: They had the base gameplay setup but hardly any of the areas existed.
Jturbobanana: Ark Survival Ascended has been in early access on consoles for years
TheMerricat: Subnautica was the game that convinced me to not play EA games. Not because the EA was bad but because I played through it like five times every time they added new biomes to it and it ruined the wonder
Snowcookies: I know someone who didn't like Hades cos they removed the fun busted stuff from early access
TXC2: right chat I'm off
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming LRR
TheMerricat: Night @TXC2 !
RockPusher: 'night TXC2
AFamiliarCalledEl: @Snowcookies I have a bit of that just because I speedrun the game and I didn't want to Debbie time to learning a new weapon when one was nerfed. But I'll still be playing and running the 1.0 version.
AFamiliarCalledEl: devote time*
TheMerricat:
@Snowcookies The 7 Days to Die community every major update. 
You'd think it was the end of the world when something gets tweaked/added/removed.
TehAmelie: i liked the ephemeral story that built around Hades 1's early access stage. though i've missed most of it in 2 so that's sad
TehAmelie: maybe it'll survive as mythology, like the Greek gods intended
SocraticMethod:
Isn't that just boardgame/figure kickstarter
saiarcot895: at least that form of early access might not require money up front (depending on how much access you want)
Kazman20a: yeah, I heard this one
mtvcdm: ROBLOX: Concerning? Huge if true
couchboyj: Is there ever a Roblox story that is not unfortunate?
SocraticMethod: Hopefully with more actual success than Hanson had
ghyllnox: Oh *grooming* I thought you said *vrooming*
Juliamon: We haven't gotten there yet but will TheMerricat
couchboyj: Your Honor, we are a publicly traded company
HorusFive: Yup- Blood bird
saiarcot895: that's....unique
HorusFive: Yes- please don't take this as an indication that the government of Louisiana is taking care of its people
Juliamon: Meta also justified child grooming in the name of company profits this week, soooooo
saiarcot895: i feel like there's at least 10 better ways of connecting with other people
TehAmelie: hmm these arguments would work just as well to defend 4chan
SocraticMethod: Oh hey, Decentraland, nice to see you again
Snowcookies: ppl meet their partner via MMOs all the time, not all of them end up being GOOD relationships
HorusFive: (You're not supposed to read the stage directions)
TehAmelie: come to think, everything i hear of Roblox sounds like it's trying to replace 4chan
saiarcot895: i can see one aspect of virtual dating: if you've never dated before, you can maybe find out what that's like in a low-pressure environment. But it's....a slippery slope. It could be great, it could be terrible
Wolfstrike_NL: Roblox's beeen around for 19 years?!
CaptainSpam: Oh, yeah, I looked it up, and it blew my mind that Roblox has been around for nearly 20 years. That's absolutely wild.
ghyllnox: "We have a significant issue with people trying to interact sexually with users on our platform. How can we make that a good thing?"
ContingentCat: I wouldn't be surprised if it's the people who had their first contact with sexual content there
TheMerricat: @CaptainSpam It predates Minecraft. It was a popular urban myth that Notch programed for Roblox before working on Minecraft.
SocraticMethod: too bad there are no social places for children anymore!
Lord_Hosk: When we were taking LittleHosk to Kindergaden round up, the principle came in and suggested that parent not let their kids play on a online game called roblox, because it had a real big child predator problem. LittleHosk is in High school now... That was over 10 years ago... Its not a new problem...
PharaohBender27:
RubikDarkwill: Short? Beej?
HorusFive: @Lord_Hosk [Shudder]. Looking forward to those
HorusFive: conversations
vinewood_og: "So whip your dick out on Discord!" "BEEJ, NO!"
ContingentCat: @vinewood_og go for it just not the lrr discord
ghyllnox: Idk if "ruined" is the word there
ghyllnox: "traumatized" maybe
HbombAndFriends: And neurodivergent kids who have a tough time making friends IRL could be at a significantly higher risk.
ContingentCat: I'm so glad to have grown up before this
TheMerricat: Or maybe... maybe... the folk who are worried about this could CREATE a space for said kids to meet that _was_ safe.
imreallybored1991: based
Wolfstrike_NL: They have set an example now that Roblox isn't the reliable service to provide that space
ghizmou: you chatted with david boreanaz !
imreallybored1991: gigachad level of based
vinewood_og: The Aurora Boreanaz, in this part of the internet, at this time of year!?
ContingentCat: @TheMerricat the difficulty becomes keeping it only kids, because creeps aren't going to be honest
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat How does one do that without access to great deal of PII? It's always going to be a nightmare to enforce _and_ keep the PII secure
ghyllnox:
Amentur:
TheMerricat: @ContingentCat True, but if it were run by say... a national board of public schools, then the only folk on it would be students and staff....

saiarcot895:
mtvcdm: HEATHER
vinewood_og: BUMP
CaptainSpam: Okay, look, maybe they had a point... LuL
OldUncleDan: Now imagine all of this when you are a Neuro-Devergent kid in a rural area.
KaleidoscopeMind:
wedge_x: I pick Heather first
saiarcot895: omg Beej is red in the face
mtvcdm: THERE'S A NET DERY
saiarcot895: Portal 3?
HbombAndFriends: I don’t know who I would’ve been more scared to play youth sports with- Heather or Serge.
nyoomgoom: when you grow up in the absolute most rural areas that have like, ten kids at your school, everyone lives miles away from each other and mostly dislike each other, it's the internet or nothing. bonus fraught points
RockPusher: B&W Shufflepuck, that's why
CaptainSpam: I feel Steve Purcell is pretty open to a lot of Sam & Max stuff.
TheMerricat: "Sam and Max hit the road is owned by Lucas Arts Lucas Arts is owned by Disney"
RockPusher: Hit the Road was LucusArts, so Disney now
CaptainSpam: I believe Sam & Max *themselves* are still owned by Purcell, though.
TheMerricat: @CaptainSpam This is correct.
RockPusher: *LucasArts
CaptainSpam: (that is, things like the Telltale games, the original comics, the tragically-short-lived Saturday morning cartoon, etc, those are at least not Disney)
TheMerricat: "The rights to the Telltale Sam & Max video games were acquired by Skunkape Games: a studio formed by several ex-Telltale developers in early 2020."
Fuzzra: It's a good game for an amber screen.
DoodlestheGreat: The primary complaints I've heard revolve around how the weapons are no longer class-locked, so the games are becoming "everyone's an Engineer with a sniper rifle."
RockPusher: or alleged cheat attempts if these aren't confirmed
RockPusher: since I wouldn't trust the system to not be false positiving
LordZarano: I wonder how many of those are people trying to bypass the "Linux and Steam Deck are not supported by this software" message
TheMerricat:
The anti-cheat software could also be triggering on false positives, like someone trying to play Valorant without rebooting.
nyoomgoom: someone tries to install like an antivirus or something and the antivirus goes "woah what's that bullshit! delete it!" and the anticheat goes "OW i'm telling mom!!"
Juliamon: Kernel access, always a great idea
bisaflau subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 46 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, bisaflau! (Today's storm count: 4)
PorpoisesUnknown: an "en-faker-ment" to be technical
ShaneLeeAtk: @Juliamon It worked so well for CrowdStrike
RockPusher: While I'm not indifferent to the problem space, kernel-based anti-cheat should be considered malware and a threat to computer security and the long-term rights of people to own their stuff
PorpoisesUnknown: its a layers rule isn't it?
cosarprime: It's kinda like how having multiple anti-virus programs running at the same time is bad.
SocraticMethod: Vanguard is always first because, unlike Javelin, it start on secure boot and cannot be started without reboot
Fuzzra: The classic clash I've dealt with many times is drive failure because competing antivirus packages have thrashed them to death.
TheMerricat: You have to reboot.
SocraticMethod: Javelin is "lighter" so it's easier to bypass
RockPusher: Beej japes, but we might actually get there one day
AFamiliarCalledEl: I go with the much more practical solution of not playing these games
richard_ermen: Sadly, the names are often better than the software itself
CaptainSpam: So it all comes back to glorified Tiger Electronics games, with a separate device for each game.
Angreed66: beej isn't even wrong
richard_ermen: Black Cube? Was Beej infected by Peter Molyneux?
SocraticMethod:
Or uninstall Valorant, that's also a good option
RockPusher: Stop being prescient Beej
vinewood_og: BASED
ghyllnox: Not with, against
7gorobei: haikyuu arc
EikoandMog:
niccus: are you sure the other end of the spike is any better
Terminal423: I can't play either game anyway *laughs in Linux user*
richard_ermen: I mean, we could all just agree to play better games
RockPusher: Terminal423 we have plenty of other games
Terminal423: @rockpusher oh yeah, more than enough
Bruceski: If you're into Bubsy, help is available
richard_ermen: I miss the days when pc games had juge boxes with big content
richard_ermen: Everyone who's been into Bubsy at release, remember to take your ibuprofen tonight
SocraticMethod: Go to Electronics Boutique to lease Microsoft CoPilot Platform(tm) which launches EA Everything App(tm) so you can rent a Battlefield(tm) 2143(tm)
GapFiller: richard_ermen some of us remember the days of manuals
GapFiller: acutally nvm that how abt more feelies eh
RockPusher:
richard_ermen: Same @GapFiller same. I fondly remember my Baldur's Gate 2 manual that was a ADnD players handbook in disguise because why not xD
richard_ermen: Is there really anyone who was enough into Bubsy to justify this??
LordZarano: Literally iconic, in that it has a single icon on it
CaptainSpam: The t-shirts were largely the 1-ups and powerups in the original game.
EikoandMog: @richard_ermen Ulillillia?
Juliamon: Easy DIY fix though
richard_ermen:
@EikoandMog Sorry, I don't speak Simlish 
DoodlestheGreat: I remember getting them from (to do a callback) Happy Meals.
EikoandMog: @richard_ermen There's a whole rabbit hole about this person...
NonjaBiru: Going to get the Iconic Bubsy Shirt to wear with my Iconic Aiden from Watch_Dogs Hat
richard_ermen: I just recently saw the one about the Skyrim Modder Drama. People are weird.
CaptainSpam: I'm not gonna lie, I have a soft spot for Bubsy 1. A decent game, warts and all. Bubsy 2... it quickly became clear Bubsy 1 was a fluke.
Snowcookies: ty for the news
Terminal423: Oh hell yeah good for them
Ashmantle:
richard_ermen: We could go there. Then we'd be there!
richard_ermen: They're already spoiling Avatar
Bruceski: Forget Spiderman, Avatar's out!
richard_ermen: It's insane
RockPusher: Bruceski Arena players be like "what is this Spider-Man of which you speak?"
Terminal423: EoR rips
Terminal423: EoE*

richard_ermen: lol
KaleidoscopeMind: it's like when the new school year starts
EvilBadman: @Juliamon carrots
nyoomgoom: i try to set it so it doesn't qutocorrect when i type out words letter by letter which means i get tgis shit
Juliamon: (another comm I'm in uses 'autocarrot' due to that being the prominent word that gets picked)

GapFiller: RockPusher typically its only the sub renewable that asks for a message yeh
GapFiller: so getting for the Prime tripped me up big time
GapFiller: nvm its not like this is important eh
RockPusher: At least the bezosbucks are going somewhere
GapFiller: tho it wd be comical if the sub subsequently shows up on the FNPF scorll
Juliamon: yeah, better they get used than not
GapFiller: (never actaully watch FNPF live due to it being the perfect storm of not my thing so no way to check)
Juliamon: shouldn't be an issue
RockPusher: hmmmm, do I try to pie shop mid saturday morning…
Juliamon: Paul can manually set the start times for a show's sub count
ShaneLeeAtk: What kind of pie?
Juliamon: steak pie gets my vote
GapFiller: Juliamon phunnily enough this was kinda a minor problem last month when some inconsiderately generous sod gifted a sub forcing me to scramble for an alternate channel to use the Prime on #NthWorldProblems
RockPusher: Probably a steak and cheese. Maybe a special if they still have stock and it seems interesting
nyoomgoom: 90% of the time i use swipe to type but there are plenty of cases where i want to type out an unusual word or circumvent auto capitalization. such as amy g dala
ShaneLeeAtk: I could go for a chicken tika pie
RockPusher: Alright, time to try to pie - see you for the start of FNPF
GapFiller: Juliamon other comical irony actually is that moving this stream (ChillPoint) fwd by just one hr now means catching it live is pretty much a non starter so wasnt even planning on watching it live to begin w/
Juliamon: man, it's been years and I'm still mad the local cafe stopped making pot roast pie
GapFiller: shdnt have underestimated Beej ability to go off on everything heh
Juliamon: "shouldn't have underestimated Beej" end of sentence
TehAmelie: even the Banana underestimated Beej
TehAmelie: it never pays
