RockPusher:
So, Heather is on holiday in a couple weeks 
TXC2: hello Paul and Heather
Thefluffiestguineapig:
Hey
ContingentCat: Beginning of October is going to be good this year
DoodlestheGreat: Assignment works for us.
beowuuf:
beowuuf: that sounds like a threat
Thefluffiestguineapig: He does tend to share
RockPusher: You WILL be INFORMED
CaptainSpam: That's not a threat, it's a suggestion!
beowuuf: i'm worried he isn't there because he's somehow here
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is Beej's news gaming news?
Flyingdelorion: He just took a shuttle to a nearby M class planet to investigate
kingandcommoner: Have you considered that we just find your voices soothing?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner I do often use stream VODs to go to sleep to
ContingentCat: @kingandcommoner that is legitimately why I'll be around for magic streams despite not playing
TXC2: a 2 hour video that somehow felt 20 hours long, and in no way was the Graham and Heather's fault
DoodlestheGreat: @TXC2 Geoff Kighley is a black hole.
beowuuf:
SocraticMethod: Opening Night Live
TXC2:
DoodlestheGreat indeed, as are an endless stream of ads for things I'm not gonna buy

SocraticMethod: @TXC2 At least it wasn't as bad as FGS
ContingentCat: I haven't heard that kind of blame deflecting since last time I talked to my ex
TXC2:
"someone else "made" the video, we just did ZERO follow up work to make sure it was their content, and it was legal for us to use it"
TXC2: SocraticMethod indeed
ContingentCat: but they'd want to be paid
Thefluffiestguineapig: The absolute mind fuck that must have happened for this poor guy
LordZarano: When spec work is your best case senario...
SocraticMethod: The worst part of the deepfake elon was that the spammers tooks over hacked youtube accounts, deleted old videos and started spamming notification. The original holders got real raw deal
ContingentCat: The best thing Musk can claim some part in making is his daughter Vivian and yeah
RockPusher: Reality has a Charlie Brooker bias‽
BlueMechanic: At least one episode I can think of was technically capable of happening at the time it aired
TheMerricat:
This is why the Loud Boys are so animated, so they can't steal their likeness 
SocraticMethod: We live in is a worst cyberpunk dystopia; we don't even have street samurai and cyberware
Izandai:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaay
LilyOfTheVeil666: I vaguely remember hearing the name at some point
Akaiatana: Unless it's for great patch notes
Wolfstrike_NL: Some games go under everyone's rader for a long time
TheAwkes: It's a fairly cromulent shooter slash character collector, played it to fill time when I didn't have any other games on the go, but I'm probably not ever going to return to it.
ArcOfTheConclave: I've been seeing add of it for the last week and never before... it's over a year old?
RockPusher: *eyes Steam library*, there *are* a lot of video games
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeeeeeeaaaaaah
TheMerricat: Canada Man doesn't have the same ring as Florida Man
Thefluffiestguineapig: I do listen to your version of the news quiz
SocraticMethod: I do remember people making fun of it in the 2024 Summer Game Fest co-stream, so sometimes the games are just forgotten
Thefluffiestguineapig: "Economically challenging conditions"
TehAmelie: yeah usually consoles go the other way. those challenges must be challenging
seanmrwick: Paul and Heather,, what are your thoughts on the new horror games that were announced the other day?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie Yeah, cheeto orange challenging huh
SocraticMethod: Gamepass price hike is that usually raises the rabble
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also Nintendo can guarantee the sales to make up for keeping that price low
SocraticMethod: roues*
SocraticMethod: rouses* GOD DAMNIT
Thefluffiestguineapig: They could keep that price low and not lose money
TXC2: !addquote (Paul) [now] I think Xbox pays less attention to Xbox.
LRRbot: New quote #9382: "I think Xbox pays less attention to Xbox." —Paul [2025-08-22]
Thefluffiestguineapig: Cam's graphics requests must be absolutely hilarious sometimes
RockPusher: Experience Beej
Thefluffiestguineapig: And has no consistent definition
TheMerricat: "The word "skibidi" comes from the song "Dom Dom Yes Yes" by Bulgarian artist Biser King. This non-lexical vocal became the base for the "Skibidi" dance and was later incorporated into the viral YouTube web series Skibidi Toilet, which features human-headed toilets. The word's meaning is not fixed, but it is now associated with the popular, albeit ephemeral, online trend. "
Izandai: Yeah pretty much.
badhaiku: Nobody is talking about how we didn't get Blasphemous 2 DLC news from Gamescom and I'm vibrating
ContingentCat: my take is the skibiti is just PG fuck
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher The number of times I want to say this out loud is so many and no one around me would know what the fuck I'm talking about
TheMerricat:
Skibidi is the youth's version of Smurf.
SocraticMethod: Skibidi in Cambridge is so Ohio
SocraticMethod: I mean, "literally" is in dictionary and it has no definition
kingandcommoner: Skibidi may not be cromulent but it is at least shpadoinkle
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod As an Ohioan, no it's too exciting
TXC2: antonyms
raulghoulia: contronyms
Izandai: Yeah that was weird.
Thefluffiestguineapig: That was so weird
LordZarano: "totally" "absolutely" "really" & "literally" are all used for emphasis in the same way
ContingentCat: that was a surreal moment
Thefluffiestguineapig: It was Cardi B, right?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I know it was someone younger than Beyonce that said that, but I forget who
RockPusher:
Izandai: This story was so stupid.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, there's a specific boss I can think of where I know what they were talking about in the story and holy shit this would break the story
kingandcommoner: say they're disguised monsters or possessed. it's not that hard
RockPusher: It may be they had a hard deadline and this is the first-cut at the changes
RockPusher: maybe it will be polished later
Thefluffiestguineapig: Are we ok with a spoiler about which boss I think the big issue would have been with?
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig sure
Izandai: Or a vtuber
Thefluffiestguineapig: So in the game one of the bosses is name Zhao Yun the White General who is based on an actual historic Han figure and during his storyline you would be fighting dead soliders from his army. My guess is that the portrayal of him even slightly negatively is the big issue
kingandcommoner: you say that, but try setting a game during the civil ws and watch half the USA act offended that they south is portrayed as the bad guy
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't want to go into too big of spoilers for that storyline in case people care about the original way it was written, but he was not shown to be a good man and had big regrets
Izandai: @kingandcommoner Those people would be stupid too.
kingandcommoner: @Izandai Not sayint they're not. just that I could easily see the same thing happening
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner Yes, but the thing is prior governments wouldn't have leveraged massive economic power to get things changed in portrayals of their culture
Izandai: @kingandcommoner Fair
kingandcommoner: @Thefluffiestguineapig I bet I can pull some state sponsored history books that prove it's very similar
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner I have seen those state sponsored history books, that's different than doing it internationally
Akaiatana: High production value?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The US is absolutely not innocent in this, I think it's just on different scales
SocraticMethod: Hayes Code changed US media significantly, though
Thefluffiestguineapig: The US is fucked about our history
Lithobraker: The trick was the Minecraft movie crafted its own memes
TXC2: the US teaches like 10% of it's own history at best
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 And that 10% is heavily editorialized
TXC2: indeed
Thefluffiestguineapig: I was so afraid when I saw that
Thefluffiestguineapig: The fear in my soul was real
Wolfstrike_NL: I only caught some of Mastercard and VISA being heavily associated with Roblox, but everything happening there is fine for their brand
LordZarano: The developer of Lethal Company got their start making Roblox maps, is about the only positive thing I've heard
Juliamon: RedOctane has been around for awhile
Lithobraker: Does Roblox have their own Jita 4-4 monument the players can attack in protest?
iris_of_ether: Uh
Thefluffiestguineapig: Welp
Juliamon: They made the good DDR pads
TXC2:
guitar hero is from back when I was in college
ShaneLeeAtk: I could go for another round of Rock Band.
Thefluffiestguineapig: So co-op?
Thefluffiestguineapig: "Connection to each other"
SocraticMethod: I need a to buy HDMI adapter for Wii so I can set up the guitar hero again
kingandcommoner: Rock Band Beatles aka Rock Band "mute the vod"
iris_of_ether: Ughhh
Thefluffiestguineapig: OH NO
Thefluffiestguineapig: RIP hope
Izandai:
SocraticMethod: Lets hope Red Octane can mitosis out of there
TXC2: Embracer = the new EA ?
Lithobraker: Congratulations on the birth of your company, also RIP.
kingandcommoner: Embracer still sounds like a fake company from a cyberpunk story
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 At least EA was good place to work at
CaptainSpam: I'm sort of surprised Embracer is still around.
TXC2:
SocraticMethod yeah, during the '80s
RockPusher: You have been Embraced. Pray we do not Embrace you further.
kingandcommoner: The jukebox musical of rhythm games
iris_of_ether: Yes
CaptainSpam: Yep, Dropmix and FUSER were Harmonix.
Invitare: Go wild. Have Chopin go to Mongolia
Laserbeaks_Fury: where are my walk without rhythm games?
CaptainSpam:
@Laserbeaks_Fury So, QWOP?
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 On to the 2010s last I've heard. Haven't read the newest ESS
SocraticMethod: or the post covid ones anyway
gnyrinn: @Laserbeaks_Fury The Dune strategy games was a good series and got a well received reboot - of sorts - a few years ago.
RockPusher: DONK DONK
Laserbeaks_Fury: I'm pretty sure Dune was the first RTS I played
CaptainSpam: Dune 2 sort of directly paved the way for C&C.
TXC2: Dune 2 was the first RTS anyone played
Lithobraker: You mean the Skong console?
kingandcommoner: torg has a steam deck, Krog makes the rog to comptte
CaptainSpam: Rog spend all time in cave! Him do nothing but watch cave paintings and throw rocks!
TXC2: CaptainSpam Dune 2 is to C&C as wolfenstien is to Doom
SocraticMethod: Steamdeck can run windows but it's not installed by default
CaptainSpam: @TXC2 Indeed.
kingandcommoner: That means it can bluescreen. Suddenly I can't wait
niccus: do you think AI will live long enough that we get a console AI generation?
EvilBadman: God willing no
TXC2: the "AI" bubble will burst next year probably
EvilBadman: protonDB is a better SteamDeck compatibility measure, as it's peer updated
RockPusher: Will run in Proton vs actually works in a controller-first environ
SocraticMethod: AMD and Intel is going full steam on NPU units on their CPUs, so next gen is going to have AI whether console manufacturers want it or not
artdecosunburn: @TXC2 "AI winter is coming."
LordZarano: A lot of games now actually run better through the compatibility layer than they do on Windows (mainly due to DXVK, which you can also install in Windows, but still)
TXC2: SocraticMethod ewww
Laserbeaks_Fury: how long till we get the Rog-Lite
TXC2:
steamdeck ain't Ipads
EvilBadman: It fills the "I don't want to be at my desk all day" slot
Thefluffiestguineapig: I wonder if this is designed to get the people who currently game on Mac
Thefluffiestguineapig: since it can run the Epic store
RockPusher: If the Windows one is tied to a specific custom build of Windows the support lifetime is going to be 0
CaptainSpam: I will say, the Deck is great stuff, but it kinda sorta depends on me either not being at my desktop already, or flumped on my bed.
TS_Terrapin: Actually, yeah.. i hadn't thought about the impact of being in a retail space
Akaiatana: Chromebook for games.
SocraticMethod: Depends on the price point. Cheapo PC with lots of Game Pass bundled might be really attractive
EvilBadman: It fills the "I don't want to be at my desk all day" slot
EvilBadman: ack, why did that double send 2 minutes apart
RockPusher: Whereas SteamOS 3 being basically just some wrapper scripts around Arch, much lower barrier to ungoing support
gnyrinn: @LordZarano Also the Windows kernel is sometimes so bad that running a Linux host and a Windows VM is better than bare metal Windows.
CaptainSpam: Meanwhile, when are we getting the Steam Controller 2, Valve? One that implements the design lessons you clearly learned when making the Deck?
EvilBadman: The top tier one was on BestBuy's site for 1k USD
Thefluffiestguineapig: My bet is currently waiting for tariff stuff to get figured out for US tax added
Laserbeaks_Fury: only mostly dead
kingandcommoner: If you're mostly compatible you'sre still a little shit
RockPusher: I am very please though that they feel the need to make a SteamDeck competitor
LordZarano: It's also yet another Steam Deck clone without the *touchpads*. Which I really don't understand how manufacturers haven't realized are essential to the Deck experience
RockPusher: Means the SteamDeck is achieving its goals
CaptainSpam:
The Steam Controller was an amazing piece of engineering for what it was designed for, it just wasn't designed to be a NORMAL controller. 
Thefluffiestguineapig: WHAT
TehAmelie: the real Xbox is in our hearts
Akaiatana: Microsoft has been pushing XBox logos on Blizzard game trailers
Juliamon: pls stop reminding me of how I couldn't get a steam controller
kingandcommoner: The real xbox is the games we played along the way
TXC2: Xbox is a mind state!
RockPusher: Juliamon [cries in unavailable in your country]
bytecaster: It has a battery, full stop
RockPusher: 2 whole minutes of gaming!
TehAmelie: hmm what is the red ring of death in this metaphor
EvilBadman: I get like 3 hours out of intensive games
TXC2: right chat i'm off
TS_Terrapin: yeah, elden ring burns through my deck in like 2 hours, normally I get 4-6
RockPusher: 'night TXC2
SocraticMethod: @Juliamon There was a chatter about Ibex at the beginning of the year. It might be bundled with another project
TXC2: goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Paul and Heather
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Good night, sleep well!
magical_girl_amelia: rip, my sweet connection to the hamster
TheAwkes: Mech piloting hamster is hella aspirational.
Laserbeaks_Fury: They want human models that are cheaper to make skins for
Thefluffiestguineapig: I want the hamster though
ContingentCat: I aspire to be a hamster in a mech
ghyllnox: And the hamster mech pilot isn't aspirational?
Lithobraker: So... they want to make characters it's easier to make porn of
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ContingentCat Precisely
ArdCollider: the hamster is honestly the only reason I've paid attention
RockPusher: I have difficulty operating my existing meat mech
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury You're so right, and I hate it. Give the hamster a guinea pig skin
Juliamon: they also specifically called out Winston (you know, one of the CORE characters) as something they're moving away from
CaptainSpam: I sort of like games that have more goofy, out-there characters.
EvilBadman: I don't know what people are talking about I see plenty of people who want to be Zarya
BlueMechanic: did they ever add the glider cat they had an idea for at one point?
ArdCollider: give the hamster a naked mole rat sidekick
Laserbeaks_Fury: Like, you can't sell Cowboy Bebop skins for Winston
Thefluffiestguineapig: So they're moving away from Beast from X-Men?
ContingentCat: !y
LRRbot: HONK!
ArdCollider: turn the hamster's mech into Minsc.
Juliamon: "we don't want furries"
Invitare: there are not enough games were you can be a robot
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArdCollider YES give me this
Thefluffiestguineapig: Make the mech into the a bunch of different things
Thefluffiestguineapig: "more popular"
TheMerricat: Hamsters in swimsuits.
ContingentCat: *conventionally attractive
Laserbeaks_Fury: Like, are "weird shaped characters are bad" the takeaway they're getting from Concord's failure
RockPusher: More "Aspirational", Paul
TheMerricat: Hamster in Thongs.
ghyllnox: "We would like to move more into the 'sexy gatcha' market"
ArdCollider: hamster banana hammock. just, you know, those little bananas the store puts in a spot nowhere near the bananas.
Juliamon: Hamstronaut pls
RockPusher: Give us Bunny-girl Hamster you cowards!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon I want this
ArdCollider: Hamster ball is Haro, FFS
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hamsterball is a christmas ornament
ArdCollider: hamster is Char, though.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Give us Personallity COre Wrecking Ball
ContingentCat: A hamster in a tiny sexy outfit would be great
BlueMechanic: Looking up the hero list, there are a lot of characters I was completely unaware of due to getting a lot less fan art and cosplays than the most obvious ones
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ContingentCat Dominatrix hamster
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sigh
Thefluffiestguineapig: Are we going back to the brown era of gaming
TheAwkes: COD:B7ops ~what's in the box~
Thefluffiestguineapig: Gods this pisses me off
SocraticMethod: Are we still getting Snoop Dogg?
Thefluffiestguineapig: This seems like they are trying not to piss off the racists
SquareDotCube: TEDD has some weird Agatha Fisty energy
SocraticMethod: Blops was always more gonzo than mainline series. Like Blops 6 had player character "heavily inspired" by the Pointman from FEAR and Scarecrow fear gas/Inception sequences
ContingentCat: That would be pretty great, whoops all Snoops
kingandcommoner: Yes but what if I want to pay to inflict my skin on others?
SocraticMethod: Whole map covered in green smog
Thefluffiestguineapig: Installing a perception filter as a thing would solve a lot of issues
RockPusher:
BlueMechanic: I'm glad their relationship has lasted this long
CaptainSpam: I mean, Pac-Man was already a selectable character in the Namco-produced Mario Kart arcade cabinets.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can you race as the ghosts?
CaptainSpam: As well as the Pac-Man ghosts and, weirdly, what's-his-face the taiko drum.
TehAmelie: famous racecar driver, Sonic
Foxmar320: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yes
Foxmar320: I played the last beta for Crossworlds and it was really good
Laserbeaks_Fury: Round Crew
CaptainSpam: Pac-Man is so happy to be here.
SocraticMethod: Sonic Toupee
RockPusher: Did Pac-Man Face/Off Sonic‽
Laserbeaks_Fury: Blinky and you miss it
ArdCollider: Sonic's worst nightmare is being vored by Sonic, I'd guess.
Lithobraker: Side note, I choose to believe that whenever Sonic is racing a car he's Flintstoning it.
SquareDotCube: Pac-Man took too many power pills
kingandcommoner: They're trying to recreate Doom Crossing
TehAmelie: i hope his car makes a wakka wakka noise
Thefluffiestguineapig: They were roommates! possibly?
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig Sonic is too fast to get tied down
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or translation issues?
CaptainSpam: Doom Crossing only really worked because the games were considerably different, both in gameplay and style. Going from Sonic to Pac-Man is... less different.
SocraticMethod: @CaptainSpam I think Sega is aiming closer to FF14 x Monster Hunter style of collab
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's way lower, yeah. And they don't have to interact with the storyline I was referencing
KaleidoscopeMind: traditional is more common in taiwan
gualdhar: Traditional Chinese is usually Taiwan, right?
Lithobraker: That's mainland China vs Taiwan
iris_of_ether: ^^^
ContingentCat: dialects
Thefluffiestguineapig: So Taiwan is probably more positive
TheMerricat: "Traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, as well as in many overseas Chinese communities, particularly those outside of Southeast Asia, and for artistic and scholarly purposes even in mainland China. In contrast, Simplified Chinese is the official and predominant script in mainland China, Malaysia, and Singapore. "
Thefluffiestguineapig: German doesn't surprise me
Thefluffiestguineapig: German I would expect to fall with the changes actually
RockPusher: English (Proper), English (Wrong)
SquareDotCube: I think Germany just fosters a positive culture with games, it's hard to call a game bad there
RockPusher: and the occasional English (WTF)
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig German has been positive from the start so I don't think the changes mattered
ContingentCat: This is why I prefer to go by word of mouth and how people seem to be talking about it than the actual reviews
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SquareDotCube Do they not foster a culture of art critique there? Genuine question
TheMerricat: So this has been something folk have noticed, certain languages on steam just trend toward more positive reviews than others.
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig They do and I don't know why you get impression why they wouldn't
EvilBadman: It's got a demo out and it's really fun.
ContingentCat: @TheMerricat probably tied to different cultural attitudes towards criticism and politeness
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod Yeah, the comment I was replying to was saying it's hard to call a game bad there is all. I was under the impression they did but I haven't done more than briefly visit
SquareDotCube: It's wild we're getting both a Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden game in 2025
RockPusher: Slices things up in a spray of fruit juice
ContingentCat: a little unprepared yeah
Thefluffiestguineapig: He's not used to that level of gore
dudmangus312: Hi folks. When I was far too young, I was shown some of your sketches. I don't know what to do with this but thank you for all of your work.
MTigress: to be fair, back in the day they had Shinobi fight Spider-Man (then had to change that boss fight a couple times due to licensing)
dudmangus312:
You are good guys. 
ContingentCat: like a susbtitute teacher, your regular villian has a dentist appointment so now Dr. Eggman
Thefluffiestguineapig: Nice to know he's trying to meet new people
SquareDotCube: also to be fair the blood spraying and body parts is more Ninja Gaiden
ContingentCat: But will it have seasoning?
Firewhiskers: @MTigress And Godzilla
ContingentCat: I'd be on board with skateboarding animal crossing
Thefluffiestguineapig: @dudmangus312 You're welcome to hang out and if you have any questions feel free to ask! We try to be open and answer anything for new people because it's all about having a good experience
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig I'm not into German game review culture, but quick look at the Steam stats shows that German reviews are on aggregate couple of %-u less positive than English
ContingentCat: always online says subscription fee to me
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod That lines up more with what I would expect
Thefluffiestguineapig: Which lobbying group is trying to add new laws to prevent things like this in the EU again?
raulghoulia: he also wrote the first two x men scripts
Thefluffiestguineapig: He might have been used as a reference for the original Snake
Thefluffiestguineapig: @raulghoulia really? the ones that were ok when super hero movies weren't really a thing??? That's amazing
Firewhiskers: That's funny because Solid Snake's initial appearance is Michael Biehn from the Terminator
Thefluffiestguineapig: And when they haven't made another game because that game wasn't great
Thefluffiestguineapig: OOOFFF
Firewhiskers: Hayter and Sutherland have hung out together
SquareDotCube: @Firewhiskers and then transformed into Mel Gibson in MG2
Izandai: Kojima is still a punk for that move though.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Seriously? Did they make this poor person shwo their face????
ContingentCat: It's her highlights though? when you play enough you get some good shots
DigitalSeahorse:
moving targets
LordZarano: KovaaK's and Aimlabs and the like
Thefluffiestguineapig: OH SNAP, that's the perfect response
Darleysam: also because pro teams will put you up in front of even MORE of that toxicity
ContingentCat: If she's a vtuber she's already doing it professionally
DigitalSeahorse:
