TheMerricat: Shouldn't need to remind chat, but in the off chance there are prime members here who don't look at their notifications, the old school SSI D&D games Silver "box" is free for prime members on GOG this week. Make sure you claim yours!
TheMerricat: I believe it's all the Dragonlance games.
EricTheOrange: @dan_7_8_2 only in 2024?
paronomasiac042: sir! the game is overgaming! i can't stop it!
TehAmelie: greetings, citizens
dan_7_8_2: @EricTheOrange ok fair you got me
iris_of_ether: Yay you got the hat
L0rdX33n: Hello human shaped friends
ArdCollider: hell yeah bob, nice KEXP hat, hi
TheAinMAP:
Hello

TheAinMAP:

iris_of_ether:

toturi91: so pumped
ArdCollider: iris++
wedge_x: mystery hat
ContingentCat:

EricTheOrange: """podcasts"""
ArdCollider: there's a classic rock station in Brownwood, TX that is all playlist and almost no ads late at night and it's kind of perfect
EricTheOrange: as a bald man I should probably start wearing hats if only so I can keep my head warm
ArdCollider: that secret lair was great
malsareus: so that's where the mandate of heaven ended up
matthaus_c: am I remembering correctly that DARE has an irresponsibly hot lion mascot
JosephDeath: Just got to the stream, got jump scared by the local radio station reference
dan_7_8_2: love Cam continuing the continuity from Friday nights of getting rid of his collection
EricTheOrange: well you shouldn't try to compete with wheeler
ArdCollider: @JosephDeath it's @iris_of_ether's fault
TheMerricat: Don't compare yourself to those two, that way lies madness.
iris_of_ether: I pledge during the most recent drive and now Cori has a hat
malsareus: a box of nothingness sounds kinda sad
matthaus_c: the forsythe
wedge_x: the KEXP Wet Leg show is great. modstly because Wet Leg is great, but
kdefinition: @matthaus_c for a particular kind of furry, I'm sure that counts as irresponsibly hot. Mostly looks like a vertical disney character to me.
matthaus_c: @kdefinition I may have rose coloured memories
Bruceski: I need to pick up some binder sleeves and just make an "I think they're neat" collection
matthaus_c: he's called /Daren/? vomit
ContingentCat: No croissant!?
Lord_Hosk: You have a salt seller at home? I let my salt seller live at their own home and work at a store
wedge_x: Diamond kosher salt superior
wedge_x: it's very small grain
ArdCollider: William Gibson once expounded on the platonic form of a saltine and Maldon was involved.
EricTheOrange: what makes kosher salt koser? is sea salt too close to shellfish?
TheMerricat: @Lord_Hosk Salt Seller, I need your strongest Salt!
ContingentCat: I'm having pickles as a snack before making something proper because I'm too hungry to have the energy to do anything, I'm not good at being a person.
matthaus_c: I did not know gherkins were definitionally kosher

Thanks for subscribing, ExhaustedElox! (Today's storm count: 4)
L0rdX33n: it’s boardgame night at the pancake house, there is French Toast in my future
TehAmelie: i've found this company that makes various candies drenched in "powdered" salt. i think the huge surface area makes it taste more salt
Xed_Regulus: I was in Oka two weekends ago, and neglected to buy any cheese.
matthaus_c: this is not news, but you are a very fancy man, Cameron
EricTheOrange: the modern urge to go back in time to make cheese and beer in a monestary
DoodlestheGreat: With or without Cesium?
gurizuri: Hello are you enjoying UFO 50?
iris_of_ether: Mmmm scramps
epsilon_vee: wait cesium?
niccus: cesiummaxing
dan_7_8_2: oh it’s real
dan_7_8_2: but very small amounts
TehAmelie: who made nuclear shrimp?
niccus: it's a specific source for walmart brand shrimp, you're probably fine
Bright5park:
Atomic Shrimp, you say? 
IanAllenBird: I literally saw the xkcd and thought "oh that's fun and absurd" and then my sister came over and was like "did you hear about the shrimp"
LeeshaJoy: It's an isotope that gets used in medical testing?
TheAinMAP:

ArdCollider: Funranium, as the Internet's safety officer, thinks it's "they used this container for something with cesium before they put shrimp in it."
TheMerricat: So the _shipping_ containers detected but they weren't able to find any _product_ that pinged over 'reasonable' levels.
EricTheOrange: they show the shrimp the cesium and the shrimp are like "cool rock".
ArdCollider: "because a Cesium-137 source incident in Indonesia would be REALLY obvious"
ArcOfTheConclave: there are some pasteurization processes that use radiation
DoodlestheGreat: Unfortunately, the tracking of shipping containers is... not good.
Juliamon: Funranium's theory is still just a theory, but it's the most likely one
ArdCollider: (don't read the official postmortem on Goiânia unless you've sworn off a few nights' sleep)
iris_of_ether: Goiânia incident is solid horrifying
Bruceski: @matthaus_c Many pickles are kosher, but they aren't necessarily. Kosher preparation of meats involves removing as much blood as possible, one technique of which is dry brining, called kashering, which uses that large-grain salt. So kosher salt is used in kashering but not everything brined is kosher.
epsilon_vee: shipping containers: what if you expanded the concept "closet to put all your junk in" to the size of an entire civilization
empyreon: so true
TheMerricat: Either way anything from that company is banned for import to the US ATM till they prove that it wasn't their fault.
ContingentCat: story checks out yeah
LeeshaJoy: In one of my Discord servers that led to a discussion of what powers you could get from being bitten by a radioactive shrimp
gualdhar: I did similar with an authentic carbonarra, can confirm chicks love
Xed_Regulus: I'm salivating over here
ArdCollider: the kind of powers that make you have to stop the bad guy and go "so do you have shellfish allergies, SHIELD says I have to ask"
DoodlestheGreat: @LeeshaJoy A super ability to play with your toes...
wedge_x: smooth and slippery, as it were
dan_7_8_2: the New York Times explicitly says “the shrimp won’t make you turn green”
accountmadeforants: @LeeshaJoy If it's a Mantis Shrimp? The ability to punch people so hard they explode
DoodlestheGreat: @dan_7_8_2 This dissappointed SO many New Yorkers.
TheMerricat: Is the fish/water creature that has a punch that would vaporize people if it were people sized a shrimp? I can't even remember it's name.
malsareus: just a mountain of boxes lifting the bed in the air
ContingentCat:
that sounds like a Panalyists question 
gualdhar: who needs house down payment when you have 40k boxes
Lord_Hosk: For your children? who are the tiny men

Lord_Hosk: Buttery smooth... like a type of pasta
AugmentingPath: Inhaling warhammer figurines is truly always a topical activity: it used to entail lead fumes, and now entails plastic fumes!
EricTheOrange: I love this game so much
LeeshaJoy: I preordered the physical Switch release
iris_of_ether: D:
accountmadeforants: GPU prices are very slightly nuts yes
dan_7_8_2: I’m upgrading soon and I’m just gonna buy whatever they have built in the back room of microcenter
EricTheOrange: @LeeshaJoy I didn't buy the game again but I did preorder the book
Lord_Hosk: The Intel cards are pretty decent for entry level video cards
Bright5park: I hope that the next tech hype thing after AI does NOT benefit from graphics cards, so the prices might actually have a chance of coming down.
Bruceski: I've run into the same problem. Currently running on a 10 year old GTX 970 and I just can't afford getting a middling current one
malsareus: I love running games from an m.2
matthaus_c: living on the edge at 130 GB free
SquareDotCube: Be careful about that, I've had issues with the bus lane just shutting down trying to run the most recent graphics card
EricTheOrange: their is a little story thing on startup but it's no big deal.
accountmadeforants: @Bright5park Let's convince VCs to invest in Beanie Babies or something
v_nome: Walk into projectiles like you mean it!
matthaus_c: the clowns are caked up??
LeeshaJoy: @accountmadeforants Nah the big thing right now is Labubu
Lobo_Apache: Yaoi clowns?
matthaus_c:
pazuzu! 
Lord_Hosk: Hopefully the pending AI implosion will lead to a graphics card sell off just like the last Bitcoin crash did
accountmadeforants: @accountmadeforants Frankly I can't wait for Apple and Microsoft to tell me why I need Beanie Baby integration
Wolfstrike_NL: Batmans defeated
EricTheOrange: yeah I got this computer like 2 years ago and it was like 1000 USD

afternoon, Cori & Cameron! 
EricTheOrange: a flat roof would be pretty dangerous too if it collapsed from snow weight
skysonglark: what are the cards for?
matthaus_c: you loosened it
EricTheOrange: @skysonglark powerups
AugmentingPath: Are the lives behind Cori?
EricTheOrange: this game IS 2 player if you wanna try that out
SquareDotCube: It ooks like you could strafe
matthaus_c: cori is the guardian of the lives
IanAllenBird: I feel better about not getting very far on this one
EricTheOrange: I had, I think it was called "Gun Smoke" as a kid and it played kinda like this
ContingentCat: dang CIA
EricTheOrange: I think my best in this game is level 3
matthaus_c: give me Barbie as a member of Kobra
Tiber727: Clowns have tons of thinks up their sleeves. Bond has explosive cufflinks. Coincidence?
Tiber727: *things
ArdCollider: squaaare poops!
TehAmelie: i hope the next stage is Yellow Pea
IanAllenBird: there was a tshirt?
niccus: that's how long i'd expect hard piss to take, yeah
IanAllenBird: lmao
iris_of_ether: That sounds like Ian
matthaus_c: Hard Piss is a strong band name
EricTheOrange: this isn't the hardest game for me, I haven't even beat the first level in Porgy
IanAllenBird: I think that's bladderstones
IanAllenBird: kidney stones
ContingentCat: Like the worst kidney stones
ArdCollider: piss that clanks
gualdhar: would it come out like a gall stone?
raulghoulia: frozen
MTGRanger: piss which is alcoholic may be the least worst option>
EricTheOrange: er Caramel Caramel not Porgy
wedge_x: Bill Hicks reference
TheMerricat: If you have hard piss chat, consider a water softener.
ArdCollider: "weak stream! strong stream!" is in a YouTube video about weird drug side effects
matthaus_c: chunky piss
SymphonySolstice: 👎
EricTheOrange: ewwwww
Airship_Overdrive:

iris_of_ether: oh no
ProcyonFlynn: Super fancy cursive so that Hard Piss could be misread like that would be fascinating. And horrifying, well done.
MTGRanger: Mike's Hard Piss— lawsuit
Bright5park: Would drinking lemon juice help with that?
Lord_Hosk: Those are words that were said
dzee_szed: Who was it that said they remembered who an outlaw is in M:tG by calling it WARM Piss (warlock assassin rogue mercenary pirates)
EricTheOrange: add that to the QDB
ContingentCat: Nooooo "descaling" and "urethra" aren't words that belong together
IanAllenBird: it's present the chat with challenging ideas
matthaus_c: hard piss is poetry actually
EvilBadman: Oh, *this* is the show I should say weird things, not lrrmtg
ContingentCat: wrinkle our brains and our foreheads
EricTheOrange: wow I felt the dispair in that NO!
iris_of_ether: Bomb ass clown
matthaus_c: the unajester
ContingentCat: I love that movie
Bright5park: I think that boss should go see Plankliacci to work on their anger issues.
AugmentingPath: I like that the Player 2 UI is always there. Makes it feel like it's printed on the screen of a handheld or something
EricTheOrange: Duck duck Go instead
Lord_Hosk: They are making another movie called "WHYWHYWHY" they Nancy Kerrigan movie
ContingentCat: Allison Janney is a great terrible mom
AFamiliarCalledEl: Those avocados are super cute
EricTheOrange: do you need a license for a head propeller
ArdCollider: I see they don't have vertical scroll yet in this one, which would make it Kid Icarus, so it's weird Shinobi.
matthaus_c: you too can kill the environment with shurikens
brieandbacon: Is that a heli-ALF?
matthaus_c: I identify with the denture flies
AugmentingPath: it's a reference to the beloved game Balloon Fight
TehAmelie: a spider pig?
Lord_Hosk: Look at this photograph
Gaelan_Maestro: spider pig
wedge_x: flap flap
SymphonySolstice: good start
TheExactSame: Unholy
iris_of_ether: This is closer to how I did
Shadowsoflife: Does whatever a spider pig does
IanAllenBird: relateable
EricTheOrange: I'm sorry this is happening to you Cameron
TS_Terrapin: I ALSO find these games very hard. Like old nintendo games were
EricTheOrange: Grimstone is turn based
ArdCollider: did you guys do Party House already
skysonglark: there's the murder house
TS_Terrapin: Thrid from the left on top is turn based
Jigokuro: 3,2 porgy is fun
TS_Terrapin: *right
Lord_Hosk: 30 minutes... seems like time for a break right?
Lord_Hosk: LOL
Jigokuro: @erictheorange how evil of you to suggest this.
EricTheOrange: @Jigokuro I don't expect them to beat it, just play long enough to get the jist
dzee_szed: "I don't know if they're worth saving." Some real subtle capitalist propaganda
raulghoulia: I want to hear more about other vegetable body parts. califlower gets all the ink
EricTheOrange: wow, leaving the dog to die
brieandbacon: You would abandon dog?
malsareus: r00d
v_nome: muscle mommy? Get in!
Barb4rian: You...you left the doggo? =(
TheExactSame: You know not the criteria against which you will be judged
malsareus: we're orks?
iris_of_ether: Teeth teeth teeth teeth
SymphonySolstice:

EricTheOrange: Angels love teeth
Bright5park: "Here, kid. Have some deer teeth."
theambivalentagender: I hopped on stream at a weird time
IanAllenBird:

Barb4rian:

EricTheOrange: yeh
iris_of_ether:

Jigokuro: This is an entire ff1
kdefinition: An angel is close enough to God, so I will simply follow the most logical action of when one encounters God on the road.
LeeshaJoy: She was subbing in for the tooth fairy but no one told her where to turn them in
EricTheOrange: It's the longest game in UFO 50 being about 20 hours long
raulghoulia: is this game a shared fever dream?
iris_of_ether: With a combat twist ye
malsareus: so, teef currency and big'uns in charge, Ork score is increasing
EricTheOrange: more like Final Fantasy one with the team of charecter classes
ContingentCat: I'm picturin Baxter as the big'un
IanAllenBird: x is open menu
malsareus: apparantly we're all normal
v_nome: We're the Normal family
EricTheOrange: This game does go off FF1 rules of top party member has the most aggro
malsareus: or a Worn
Bright5park: You know, it would be funny to see the shop keep's reaction if teeth weren't *actually* the currency.
Bright5park: Oh! You attack like in Undertale!
EricTheOrange: I guess this game does have some timing needed. I forgot that's how combat worked
dzee_szed: okay I already like this based on the victory dances
EvilBadman: "Attack in Undertale?" Mods arrest this chatter
SquareDotCube: might as well put your lower half in back row
Barb4rian: Pearl cast G U N
EricTheOrange: Umbra is possibly the most useful character after she gets some spells, but until then you kinda have to baby her.
SymphonySolstice: sansundertalealloneword
SquareDotCube: not just huge, she backhands
SymphonySolstice: so you defeat a monster and just...rip out their teeth as currency?
CaptainSpam: Oh, huh, I never did play through this a second time with a different party. I went in with Bull, Doc, Umbra, and... um... what was the dog's name? The dog.
AFamiliarCalledEl: No, the monsters also use teeth as currency and we're just looting them
ContingentCat:

SquareDotCube: "Yeehaw, I murdered in self-defense!"

Thanks for subscribing, JKBalch! (Today's storm count: 7)
Tiber727: This game does have a *lot* of grind for the sake of grind.
Bright5park: I wonder if instead of a gold rush, they'd have a dinosaur tooth rush in this game's universe.
raulghoulia: this music slaps
EricTheOrange: stay at 0
CaptainSpam: They stay at zero; you have to go to a church/mission.
niccus: uhhhhh you'll find out
Jigokuro: Even worse
Barb4rian: They lose a tooth with every step
Barb4rian:

CaptainSpam: Rufus! That's the name of the dog. Right. Bull, Doc, Umbra, Rufus. That was my party.
Barb4rian: That was joke, I have no idea btw
drrek0: Chat is a joke
JKBalch: When standing still they sound like a maraca
EricTheOrange: Their is poison but it's not as bad as pokemon cuz it procs every ~5 steps instead of every step
Bright5park: But Chat is the bastion of trustworthiness!
SquareDotCube: careful icarus
EricTheOrange: Before they patched it you could revive with any healing item but now it's only churches and revive items
JKBalch: That hawk took his eyebull's
matthaus_c: I should play West of Loathing
EricTheOrange: I do think like in FF hotels don't revive so you gotta go tothe church
EricTheOrange: some charecters can
SquareDotCube: but what if guns for hands?
CaptainSpam: Well, for Umbra, at least, she gets spells in an interesting way.
CaptainSpam: Can't speak for Anne, though.
EricTheOrange: most charecters get spells on level up but umbra has a special way to get spells
IanAllenBird: I think there might be info about like, weapon proficiencies somewhere? did I misremember that chat
PogoFury: @EricTheOrange iirc back then you could also revive with a healing skill, even if the character with the healing skill was the dead one
CaptainSpam: There is a weapon proficiency system, but it's really just a passive skill that makes specific weapons more betterer for that character.
SquareDotCube: it's like Garbador from the pokemon anime
EricTheOrange: more than average for the old west
CaptainSpam: Oh, right, you be in hell. Forgot to mention that.
Bruceski: That's just how eeryone in the Southweat talks
Bright5park: Huh. The Hell thing passed by me as well.
PogoFury: it also used to be that enemy attacks would always fail to apply status effects like Blindness
matthaus_c: do they have umamusume in hell
EricTheOrange: The lore is lierally that Texas sank into hell, for some reason
Bright5park:
A drink for 120 teeth? What do they serve in here, Coca Cola? 
CaptainSpam: Umbra is... well, knives are her BEST weapon, but she's a mage archetype, so don't count on that being a powerhouse attack.
Gekyouryuu: "Come on in for the best deals in town!" "These deals are awful." "I never said they were good deals."
CaptainSpam: You can RENT horse.
AFamiliarCalledEl: Oh, horses must be like some kind of fantasy chocobo :v
matthaus_c: the time period may be fictional
IanAllenBird: : D
EricTheOrange: I think it's bASED ON BATTLES FOUGHT
niccus: it's really good but for the context of a stream maybe not recommendable
malsareus: the time period is measured in steps
malsareus: I hope
IanAllenBird: well it is old west hell
SquareDotCube: I'm guessing the train needed the bridge
brieandbacon: The noose is the dead-centre of town
malsareus: double hell?
Lord_Hosk: Send you to double hell?
matthaus_c: that's the kicker, in Hell, you don't get to die
Bright5park: I mean, it leaves the teeth intact. Makes sense to me.
JKBalch: SuperHell
Lord_Hosk highfives malsareus
wedge_x: Hell 1-1
SquareDotCube: I bet it's an AOE gun
CaptainSpam: Note that Coach is a shotgun. This distinction will be important as you level up.
IanAllenBird: the shape of those horses is something else
Bright5park:
An AD?! This IS hell!

EricTheOrange: Duck Game again. Adam will be happy for that
Molladia: The music doesn't sound happy today
TheAinMAP:

IanAllenBird: have y'all seen mooncat yet
EricTheOrange: the two buttons does limit some games. Elfazars Hat would probably have been better if it was a twin stick thing.
EricTheOrange: It's Action 52 but if it was good

Molladia: Went and attempted to play "Stake or Die" and "California Games" somewhat recently and it was difficult. This has been smoothed
septomin: it looks like how we remember those games, but actually looks better than they did
EricTheOrange: yeah it's "good nostalgia" like shovle knight.
SquareDotCube: sure, nasty monsters...
malsareus: so is this a mountain of birdshit or bat filled caverns?
niccus: speaking of, bubsy's returning...
matthaus_c: you must feel incredible if you hit red while blinded
Molladia: Oh a recent game the similarly evokes this is the Penny Arcade games.
CaptainSpam: TOUCH THE BUN
ContingentCat: Awww buns are so good
SquareDotCube: hawks must be a real problem
EricTheOrange: Buns are very good, i wish i could have some but i don't think they'd get along with my cats
ContingentCat: Awwwwwwwww omg
omdorastrix: Real life disney princess
matthaus_c: the bun whisperer
CaptainSpam: BUN SKILLS
CaptainSpam: WAIT NO
ContingentCat: foraging is a kind of bunny skill I guess
SnackPak_:

Bright5park: I was in a different tab for a moment, did we get bun teeth?
Jigokuro: Run to the hills
matthaus_c: Eight Fucking Bears
malsareus: that's not true, the birds will have extra eyes
EricTheOrange: yeah that's how umbra learns spells, by talking to animals you find
CaptainSpam: So... yeah, Umbra gets skills from animals. You have a choice of two skills from each, and "no" just means you cycle to the next one. Saying "no" to the second one lets you go back to the first, don't worry.
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Would you like to learn Heal?" "Yes." "Or would you like to learn the Ultimate Kill Anything in One Hit Technique?"
matthaus_c: GOATED
SnackPak_:

CaptainSpam:

Lord_Hosk: King of games! get this man a crown!
SymphonySolstice: best to ever do it
Gekyouryuu: Hello, highlight reel
TheAinMAP:

Jensling:
And that wasn't even a crit 
matthaus_c: he takes umbrage with that
EricTheOrange: you'll find little sparkly spots to forage from
Molladia: We'll just load back at the Pokecentre right?
matthaus_c: there's hope!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Okay that is a cute mechanic for Blind
Lord_Hosk: Everyone has always been dead, they cant be more dead than dead
Barb4rian: GG?
matthaus_c: gotta pay your teethe
niccus: toothless behavior
EricTheOrange: It works like dragonquest in that if you die you lose some money but keep your exp
CaptainSpam: It IS a good game, but yeah, definitely really super grindy for a stream.
Jigokuro: This is a long game
CaptainSpam: Mooncat.
CaptainSpam: Goooooood luck.
IanAllenBird: mooncat!
PogoFury:
MOONCAT 
EricTheOrange: ah yes mooncat'
niccus: the sequel (?) to barbuta
iris_of_ether: Mooncat is a lot
Bright5park: We are playing a... mutated shrimp? Topical!
PogoFury: mooncat has some great music
Jigokuro: The controls for this are... unique
TS_Terrapin: Yeah, this game is ... well, it IS.
Jigokuro: In a way that sometimes happened with old games still figuring things out.
niccus: a very tactile game
Lord_Hosk: was that goodd or bad?
PogoFury:

PogoFury: i could imagine this on an arcade cabinet with two giant buttons
iris_of_ether: Actively gaming
EvilBadman: Or even boards
matthaus_c: eat at least $5 just learning the controls
matthaus_c: skull pizza!
couchboyj: The jumping Skulltula
matthaus_c: there was a street musician named Moondog
Jigokuro: There is still a movement thing you haven't figured out yet.
Lord_Hosk: moon... base
EricTheOrange: moon cow is like a term for a person who daydreams a lot
IanAllenBird: hell yeah
PogoFury: all the little purple guys pausing at the same time reminds me of Super Mario Wii
CaptainSpam:

Lord_Hosk: someone should write a book about that
EricTheOrange: i've heard this game described as a game that emulates the felling of playing video games for the first time
IanAllenBird: owie
ghyllnox: No steppy
septomin: if you go back and play games for the commodore 64 it’s pretty clear how the people making them didn’t really have a design language worked out, and there’s a lot of intentional roughness in these games along those lines
matthaus_c: like that one xkcd about 16 competing standards
TS_Terrapin: Weren't the VERY first video games on oscilloscopes? So the initial controls were likely dials?
niccus: there's that review of that one alien game where it talks about the horrors of using one stick to aim and another to move
TheAinMAP:

ArcOfTheConclave: what are the controls for this?
EricTheOrange: tennis for two was based on like a radar I think?
matthaus_c: always think about Katamari Damacy wrt games that make you learn new fundamentals
Chronomagistrate: Ah, fun episode
ContingentCat: that was good
matthaus_c: cursed with large hog
septomin: it’s partly about the controls being invented, but also the designers of these games wouldn’t have necessarily played a lot of other games
CaptainSpam:
@ArcOfTheConclave D-pad: Left; A or B: Right; D-Pad and A/B at once: Jump; Double-tap: Run. Good luck! 
LordZarano: Tennis for Two, with sound effects provided by the relays that made up the game's logic
Bright5park: @EricTheOrange Some kind of ballistic missile doohickey, I think
ArcOfTheConclave: @CaptainSpam that's so cursed
CaptainSpam: @ArcOfTheConclave That's Mooncat!
kdefinition: whenever you bounce on the mushrooms, it sounds like a bitcrushed Cameron saying "A wall"
Lord_Hosk: that bird wanted your lunch money
matthaus_c: we get so much out of the variety in design directions for interfacing with games. think about playing Dark Souls on Guitar Hero hardware and such
GapFiller:
wonder if that applies to spoken languages much as programming languages
niccus: the mooncat knows where it is because it knows where it isn't
matthaus_c: like Douglas Adams taught, just miss the boulder
Joecool190: the og playstation also use x as confirm vrs the ps2 which swtitched to x as cancel to match other console conventions
Joecool190: or wait other way around
matthaus_c: good ol batsu and maru
Lord_Hosk: The interesting thing for me is RPG vrs JRPG, the numbers are so much bigger in JRPGs because in Japan people pay for everything in Yen, so they are used to giant numbers all the time, but in the west, with dollars and pounds we use much smaller numbers.
iris_of_ether:

THEcodybauman: OH FUCK YEAH UFO 50!
THEcodybauman: MOONCAT Best game of a generation
Bright5park: @Joecool190 I think it switches based on region for the PlayStation - X for select, O for cancel outside in Japan, X for cancel and O for select in Japan.
Bright5park: *outside of japan
EricTheOrange: Mooncat is a game of layers within layers
matthaus_c: pro-d
iris_of_ether: I was like that with my first job and circuit design
THEcodybauman: Cam you are always a joy to listen to pontificate.
THEcodybauman: Did you all speak to this game's approach to storytelling on multiple levels?
iris_of_ether: The hella imposter syndrome did not help, ha
THEcodybauman: In regards to it's own story and the meta story in relation to the development cycle of a game console and a game studio around the 8&16bit era
matthaus_c: he used to be very good at drawing. he still is, but
iris_of_ether: Nice

Thanks for subscribing, narset6691! (Today's storm count: 11)
Laserbeaks_Fury: Piracy on the High Breeze
ContingentCat: that sounds cute
iris_of_ether: Mortol?
niccus: there's a point where the intro logo changes
THEcodybauman: I love the overarching meta-narrative of a game design studio figuring out game controls, how to manipulate color and control schemes, especially if you play all the games in order and read all the little blurbs they have for each game.
matthaus_c: Junji Ito was asking
Laserbeaks_Fury: I always loved that when they were making Bloodstained, they demade an "original" NES game
CaptainSpam: Oh, trust me, there is a healthy chunk of meta-lore about game development in UFO 50.
THEcodybauman: Yeah, if you actually look at the games from 1-50, there's also the story of a game studio figuring out the capabilities of a console, and what it means to make a "videogame" Mortal was "game 1"
CaptainSpam: Yeah, check out the trivia blurbs for each game (press B on the games in the home menu to get info windows). Everything tells a story about LX Systems / UFO Soft.
EricTheOrange: Yeah like the "campanella" series you see it change in graphical style and complexity as the games go on
Laserbeaks_Fury: Excitebike
THEcodybauman: Yeah!!
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh yeah, I always loved end of cycle games, they could really make those consoles sing. Nowadays, they just make for the newer systems and port back
THEcodybauman: Yes! This is a fictional game studio, made for a fictional game console during it's lifespan.
PogoFury: "UFOSoft"
PogoFury: previously LX Systems
CaptainSpam: UFO 50 is the collection, the Preservation Project, if you will.
EricTheOrange: each game has a little "info" section and through those you can kinda learn about how like they went from the LX1 to the LX2. or some bits of lore in how the games got made.
CaptainSpam: The company is UFO Soft, formerly LX Systems.
CaptainSpam: The console is the LX series (LX, LX-II, LX-III).
Tiber727: What a ponderous statement.
THEcodybauman: And then each game itself actually has credited fictional "devs" and "artists" as they grow along their journey as designers.
AugmentingPath: betrayed by the shortcut
CaptainSpam: The meta-lore in this game is absolutely astounding.
THEcodybauman: Or even like a MacII > NES > Snes
EricTheOrange: like if you look at some of the last few games you can see how they have like limited Voice clips and more graphical capabilites
CaptainSpam: And if you get to Miasma Tower...
Laserbeaks_Fury: DOUBLE DRIBBLE
THEcodybauman: Like, this game being an analogy towards a game dev figuring out what it means to have "controls" withing a game and for "inputs" to have "expected" function within the game design
LurkerSpine: Mega Man X
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: shadowrun was on the snes?
Wrexadecimal: SMRPG, or DKC2
iris_of_ether: Chrono Trigger
TS_Terrapin: Secret of Mana was probably mine
couchboyj: The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace.
PogoFury: chrono trigger was too life-changing for me to pick anything else
THEcodybauman: Donkey Kong Country
Laserbeaks_Fury: ALttP
TheAinMAP: Whew
THEcodybauman: Huge plays
singinnonsense: that was productive
CaptainSpam: AFTER you've played all (or most) of the games, we'll have to show you how to get to Miasma Tower. It'll only make sense then.
shtevie3: Chrono Trigger
AugmentingPath: TMNT: Turtles in Time, probably
EricTheOrange: eh... probably chrono trigger
THEcodybauman: That's some goodgame design right there
couchboyj: Chrono Trigger for me. If I supres my hipster urges and am honest.
THEcodybauman: @AugmentingPath That's a good choice too
THEcodybauman: It's also, a hat
Laserbeaks_Fury: Link To The Past was the game where I printed out *2* copies of the map, to mark everything in both worlds. I made so many notes.
septomin: i like to recommend pac-man 2: the new adventures (not honestly a favorite, but a distinctive game)
AugmentingPath: @THEcodybauman My family had an NES and an N64 but skipped the SNES; I played TMNT a lot at a friend's house, though
THEcodybauman: Or it does!
couchboyj:
King Arthur's World was a banger! That's my answer if I'm giving into the hipster urges 
THEcodybauman: Gaming out of our minds on here
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: TIL lemings-like genre is a thing
Laserbeaks_Fury: Ohh, does anyone remember Knights of The Round, the Arthurian beatemup
RatherLargeToad: Loved that game. Every game needs Barrel Men
TS_Terrapin: I remember King arthur's world. I rented that once.
singinnonsense: rule of 3s ?
GapFiller: Laserbeaks_Fury didnt Adam play it onstream at least once
THEcodybauman:

THEcodybauman:

Kentosaurus: oh I like how it gets gradually faster
AugmentingPath: fish time for you
EricTheOrange: I remember really liking the quintet games of: Soul Blazer, Act Raiser, Illusion of Gaia, and Terrinigma.
PogoFury: i thought it was wild that Illusion of Gaia had an entire walkthrough in the instruction manual
couchboyj: Secrets of Evermore was a favorite of mine too
Laserbeaks_Fury: yeah, I hated thta
EricTheOrange: yeah Act Raiser 2 was kinda meh personaly
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: oh no
shtevie3: wat
Laserbeaks_Fury: Nothing Can Kill The Grimace
ContingentCat: either way piss milkshake sounds bad
EricTheOrange: Terranigma I only played later as it had a PAL version but not a north america version
adamshandy: no thank you
singinnonsense: hard piss, square poops
ghyllnox: Why cold???
ContingentCat: thanks I hate it
wedge_x: man, I don't know, a nice cold piss on a hot day sounds great
gualdhar: that's just a sulfur flavored water ice
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: has to be cold, how else would it froth
ContingentCat: you wouldn't want a curdled milkshake piss
nira_sol:

EricTheOrange: a.... bladder freeze?
adamshandy: hot piss can froth, are you not humans????
septomin: is there vinegar involved? i’ve heard that goes with piss
wedge_x: I'll try anything once
NullColaShip: Hopefully it *exits* you
MTigress: gotta do the science
ContingentCat: I'll let someone else try anything first
Laserbeaks_Fury: Please don't edge your piss
infinity_225: i’m trying to live in the brain space here, but cold piss implies extraordinarily cold body temperature. What allows that?
adamshandy: if you pee out all the cold only the warm is left
vinewood_og: Open minds, full bladders, can't lose
Jigokuro: I believe you can jump straight up
ghyllnox: @infinity_225 What if your bladder is insulated, and you extract the heat to conserve energy
Shurtal: heat-ablative urine?
adamshandy: I don't think that can reduce your average temperature
matthaus_c: put that on a shirt
niccus: works just like the cartridges in mass effect 2
Laserbeaks_Fury: Stand in lakes to double your Heat Dissipation
nira_sol: frequently and in many different places
singinnonsense: good words to live by
ContingentCat: I haven't noticed my piss being hotter in the summer but that makes sense I guess
ArdCollider: TL;DR: no
MTigress: inb4 we horrifyingly solve body cooling in the worst way
adamshandy: thank you for the fact check ardcollider
adamshandy: you are a piss scientist
ArdCollider: piss is a hard science
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's terribly inefficient that we both sweat and pee
Invitare: I think that's just the cold water and sweat...
matthaus_c: heheh, "wee" ooo
gualdhar: alligators can stay in frozen lakes and rivers by sticking their nose out, would their piss be frozen if the water is frozen?
Invitare: eg
PogoFury:

GhostValv: in another castle?
adamshandy: you miasma egg is in another castle
Invitare: eggs often contain miasma
Invitare: it's the sulphur
PogoFury: nice gold
vinewood_og: They say I'm something of a savant at piss science. Yeah apparently i'm a real whiz!
RatherLargeToad: did they just pull a Ghost & Goblins on us?
EricTheOrange: 1of 3 eggs
TheAinMAP:

ghyllnox:
The slowing down right before the goal 
MTigress:
magic garden is 
PogoFury: this one explicitly has a tutorial if you wait at the title screen
blastedman: been there!
LurkerSpine: It took me a while to understand this game, but it's great
Jigokuro: There is an explanation if you sit on the title a sec
PogoFury: and you can always double-check the controls from the pause menu
THEcodybauman: Did you check the controls in the menu?
PogoFury: locked in
THEcodybauman: We stan learning in this house

THEcodybauman: DId you look at the "blurbs" in the games?

THEcodybauman: Cyber Owls!!
singinnonsense: they are the Owl Team
THEcodybauman: You are owls that are Cyber

EvilBadman: River City Girls carrying on that awesome tradition

ArdCollider: hm.
Boiler_bot: 8bitdo make good controllers
blastedman: i use that same controller cam, is yours wired too?
Shurtal: hall effect
UtilityPunk: Oh yeah, it's terrible when a controller's rubber turns to goo
RatherLargeToad: Goons?
PogoFury: you might have to go into settings and assign the p2 controller
drexciya808: lulwut
adamshandy: "this man has goons" has a new meaning in the current age
THEcodybauman: Oh that's very slick
SaxPython:
@TheAinMAP 
ghyllnox:

singinnonsense: so this is like the topdown Contra levels ... but cute
THEcodybauman: And the fact that different combos of cards mean different spells too!
THEcodybauman: Like that last one was green purple purple and you got life back!
RatherLargeToad: is this basically Blaster Master?
RatherLargeToad: the non-tank parts at least
adamshandy: I love how you two are so polite you're letting the power ups expire
rensti14: I’ve yet to have a bad time with a two player game in UFO 50
THEcodybauman: Optn A!
THEcodybauman: Extend means + 1 Life
THEcodybauman: + 1 health pip
THEcodybauman: Oh those are some mouth hands
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: is this now a soulslike

Fe1ix66: the real spoilers are playing the game after the first act
farley_f: I believe it’s still on game pass
Jensling: It's also by the same dev as Pony Island, whether that is a spoiler or not I'll leave to interpretation
Shurtal: man, orzhov aristocrats in standard is Not Good™ but MAN do i ever get the good good brain chemicals when i get the infinite combo to pop off
skysonglark: there's in fiction historical data in the game descriptions
CaptainSpam: The Campanella is from THIS game.
Shurtal: Wednesday Campanella?
iris_of_ether: "Little Bell", yeah?
CaptainSpam:
Well, okay, it's also from this. 
LurkerSpine: did y'all try velgress?
skysonglark: have we looked at the more meta bits of the game?
JKBalch: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: The Long Game (The crew settles in for a board game journey. Game: Freelancers: A Crossroads Game) at Thu 05:00 PM PDT (1:20 from now).
TheMerricat: "Campanella" is an Italian word for "little bell" and can refer to a musical technique known as the campanella effect, where a cascading, bell-like sound is produced. It is also the title of a famous piano etude by Liszt (based on Paganini's work) and can describe a type of cone-shaped pasta called campanelle. Additionally, it is a surname for several notable people, including the baseball Hall of Famer Roy Campanella and the philosopher Tommaso Campanella.
LurkerSpine: 7
SamsSkunkworks: yeah, Campanile is from Know no Fear, its the ship they ram into the orbital dockyards
CaptainSpam: Yep, Pilot Quest is a spinoff of the Campanella series.
septomin: did they play party house today?
LurkerSpine: Velgress is basically Upwell (Downwell, but up instead of down)
Greyah: VVVVVV with a gun?
Juliamon: They did Party House in an earlier stream
Lord_Hosk: pew pew
LurkerSpine: some are hella long
iris_of_ether: They're very good
adamshandy: I had that experience too

iris_of_ether: I spent a good amount of time in the late 90's hitting shareware
CaptainSpam: I mean, there's not much that CAN prepare you for Mooncat.
NonchalantAvenger: earthworm jim
LurkerSpine: You can also watch the eyecatch for hints
