TheMerricat:
Prolifetip chat - Before assuming the stream doesn't have any music going... check to see if you muted Twitch the night before. 
TXC2: ^
public_key_reveal_party:
@themerricat that sounds like quitter talk to me 
NapalmSideburns:
Salking Timulator! 
TXC2:
checking twitch's audio is always good adivce, could be muted, could be pinned to 100%, who knows 
TXC2: here we GO!
ArdCollider: o7
TehAmelie: ohaio
TXC2: Hello Cori and Cameron
TheMerricat:
Listening Simulator.
SnackPak_: I'm simulating listenign
kainboa: Perhaps I'm muted....
public_key_reveal_party: Checking your audio settings is an admission of defeat
TXC2:
also stop using chrome 
wedge_x: oh, I have so many tabs open there's no speakers
noSmokeFire: the tab was coming from inside the house
EvilBadman: Sorry I was too busy not playing Silksong because of work, what'd you say?
TheMerricat: I would never do you two dirty like that. Talking Sim is always primary monitor content.
TehAmelie: three screens is okay but it's the limit, any more than that and you're an Ozymandias wannabe
QuixoticScrivener: I like to play a 3ds while using two monitors and my phone.
sephsays: Can confirm, you are currently on my "third monitor", also known as my TV
TehAmelie: i don't make the rules, i just remember them from obscure webcomic gags
LordZarano: Firefox also has a speaker symbol
BrookJustBones: I have 3 monitors, one of which is vertical for reading. But I would call that one the 3rd monitor, and the stream the second monitor
NapalmSideburns: Zaku's all the way down
Gekyouryuu: No endless Waltz YET
Juliamon: It's absolutely skippable, it's just all we had at the time
QuixoticScrivener: I have only seen Wing, Gundam continuity confuses me.
kdefinition: I remember my sister's friend group were all nuts over the cute Wing boys.
TXC2: was wing the first one that came to the US/Can ?
Gekyouryuu: I play a mostly Witch from Mercury deck, with a splash of SEED for blockers
Metric_Furlong: what *is* the worst Gundam?
Juliamon: It's the first one that was marketed in North America, anyway
Juliamon: SEED
kdefinition: Seed
TXC2: Juliamon as I suspected
SnackPak_: seed is a good choice
TehAmelie: the animes we got on TV was Sailor Moon, then Pokemon, then Digimon
kdefinition: Seed is one of the 2 I have seen any episodes of, and I shudder to think of anything worse
Juliamon: Seed had great designs, not much else
ArtOfStuttering: As one does, listening to Jazz during a battle.
TheMerricat: War in the Pocket - Kids are fucking stupid. Here's some war.
wedge_x: oh you will *love* minus one, Cam
TehAmelie: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is pretty neat, speaking of shows where Godzilla is tangentially involved
Gekyouryuu: Godzilla Minus One is a truly touching story about survivors guilt in post world war 2 Japan, and also Godzilla is there sometimes
TXC2:
what is this show? 
Plasterboard: Alien Earth
TheMerricat: "The creator of Alien: Earth, Noah Hawley, recently sat down with Deadline to discuss Episode 5 of the series titled, “in Space, No One…” Hawley shared how the latest episode is closely related to the 1979 Alien movie and disclosed the nickname he gave to the eye monster, known as T. Ocellus, aka Species 64 in the series. Hawley stated, “I’ve been calling it the eye midge for some reason.”"
Gekyouryuu: I saw minus one in theatres twice. Once regular, once in black and white
TheMerricat: @TXC2 Alien Earth
TXC2: TheMerricat I know, just, the show sounds wild
TheMerricat:
wedge_x: a southpaw
Plasterboard: Favorite characters so far: Morrow & Octo-buddy
KeytarCat: Everyone has a preference
TXC2:
so TURBO not for me then?
KeytarCat: Barcanals!
TehAmelie: called barnacles, for reasons i never understood
TXC2:
Aliens: but From soft helped this time round
Athelgar: bipedal sheep was very disturbing
TXC2: Timothy Oliphant is a real underrated actor
SnackPak_: rad
ArdCollider: lol wow they are trying SO hard to win you, Cam
TXC2: they MAKE doors!
TehAmelie: anyone seen Foundation by the way? i don't know anything about it except it floods tumblr with gorgeous gifs every week.
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
gualdhar: does the TV show solve the book problem of characters being flat as paper?
BrindleBoar: @TXC2 give Ripley a pre-nerf Moonveil
spurius:
thats why you need a second fundation 
kimmiekoneko: it goes from space marxism to great man theory
Singenmeister: Foundation is such good sci-fi it makes me mad the closest games in to activity are Stellaris and Mass Effect. I need more media like it.
TXC2: BrindleBoar yes!
TehAmelie: ditto
Gekyouryuu: Oh, Cori, you ready for Zeztz to be officially simulcast on Saturday night?
KWardJenx: She is TERRIFYING
Gekyouryuu: Good news, it's streaming 24/7 until Monday, iirc
Gekyouryuu: Then rerun on Friday
ContingentCat: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Talking Sim (Cameron and Cori take a deeper look at the world of video games. Game: Promise Mascot Agency) at Thu 01:00 PM PDT (22m ago).
TehAmelie: hey, i've written a story about that
Metric_Furlong:
I too have played Anatomy
Xed_Regulus: Live action Monster House?
kimmiekoneko: there is other horror besides "metaphor for childhood trauma"?
TXC2:
kimmiekoneko they only other one is "metaphor for sex"
NapalmSideburns: "Metaphor for homelessness instead"?
TXC2: he's Rash!
TehAmelie: @kimmiekoneko "i know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards" but unironically
Plasterboard: The levels of mental instability amongst crew members seems odd for a long haul space trip (but great for a tv series).
NapalmSideburns: just eating some steak tartar at the morgue
MAPBoardgames: Alien is a movie where no one listens to the smart woman. Then every one dies except the smart woman and her cat.
RandomTrivia:
Hi friends! 
Looks like I'm not too alte
RandomTrivia: *late
thesurfaceofthemoon: What if everywhere the person goes, the house is there. Like any neighborhood they go in, or rural homesteading area they travel through - sooner or later they see that house. And the longer they stay there (we're talking days or weeks) the house gets closer. No one ever sees it move, people don't remember it being there before, but never the less it is.
TXC2: hello RandomTrivia welcome
accountmadeforants: Imagine someone who's both a biologist *and* a geologist. Licking *all* the samples.
MAPBoardgames: She's totally a traffic geek
kimmiekoneko: alien is pedant propaganda
noSmokeFire: "I hate OSHA, all these regulations make it impossible for me to get anything done at work"
Jillexie: Protocol rules are written in blood and she knew that.
TXC2: she's the college girl in the group of space truckers

TXC2: sponsor responsibly
kimmiekoneko: button over yonder
SnackPak_: one*
mercano82: Cameron was right the first time
NapalmSideburns: "Loading Ready Run: Have you tried being a supportive presence?"
mercano82: at least on desktop
BlueFingers5 subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 32 months!
BlueFingers5: Please take some of amazon's money, they don't need it
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, BlueFingers5! (Today's storm count: 1)
TXC2: SUB HYPE BEGINS
accountmadeforants: Yeah Cameron nailed it in one
accountmadeforants: Ah, that tracks actually, having seen some of this game
RandomTrivia: Remembering things is overrated
NapalmSideburns: Pinky is a menace
mercano82: Isn't this a sidequest in half the Yakuza games?
BlasterKyubey210: yea Joryu's really in Deep for this one
Gekyouryuu: Ok, but can we recruit local heroes, too? I wanna hire Dentman
RandomTrivia:
So a Yakuza game?
dankmemeter: That's just Yakuza 6. Are the mascots In a baseball team?
RandomTrivia: That is interesting and cool
KeytarCat: I use OpenD everywhere I can
Gekyouryuu: 70s
TheMerricat: "The Showa era was the longest era in modern Japanese history, lasting from the Emperor Hirohito's ascension to the throne in 1926 to his death in 1989, marking a period of intense transformation for Japan, from imperial militarism and World War II to unprecedented economic growth and cultural shifts that shaped modern Japan. "
Metric_Furlong: 'pre-90s', basically
Metric_Furlong: Reiwa was 2019, iirc
TXC2: didn't have to restart the whole PC
TheAwkes: Didn't need to have the controller plugged in before launching the game.
TheMerricat: But I enjoyed the fact that I was the only one in my family that understood how to setup config.sys Cameron!
SnackPak_: understood
Metric_Furlong: it didn't? games are lying to me?!
TheMerricat:
TXC2: Mascots = Pokemon?
RandomTrivia:
Is this secretly Yokai Watch?
mercano82: I had Macs at home until 2000, by which times PCs had figured out plug-and-play. I am eternally grateful.
TheMerricat: Tumb?
noSmokeFire: yep!
KaleidoscopeMind: that sentence felt like a Cam adlib and I was thrown a bit
TehAmelie: my father was absent and my cousin's father was deadbeat, but both at once is impressive
Metric_Furlong: oh yeah, it's why anime doesn't use the '3-fingered hands' seen in US cartoons
TXC2:
weren't Fujiwara the first royal family?
TXC2: about 60 million US dollars
RandomTrivia: Smile and wave, boys
RandomTrivia: Welp, there's the husbando bait
Earthenone: im glad the options seem realistic there, no spit in the face and get shot button
itsaysTRUENO: they call me the garbage man cuz im takin' out the trash
Mazrae: Is that guy with a broom a knock off from the house husband manga guy
Mazrae: I know its probably not
RandomTrivia: Uh
RandomTrivia: So wide
TXC2:
who knew a thumb could have pecs and abs
noSmokeFire: the deadbeat!
noSmokeFire: dadbeat?
TheAwkes: If the game hadn't been introduced by a severed digit mascot, this would be a weird tonal shift.
RandomTrivia:
Kentosaurus: metaphorical finger?
HorusFive: @TheAwkes I would argue it is still a weird tone shift
Earthenone: spy kids villan right there
TXC2:
TheAwkes I'd argue it still is
TheAinMAP:
KeytarCat: Right-hand man*
Agnememnon: not her finger but HER finger as it's now hers?
accountmadeforants: I like that the tail lights are already streaking
HorusFive: An open bed truck??
Metric_Furlong:
on the left, yes. one of the ways Japan is basically the britain of asia
TXC2: Metric_Furlong well Japan does like tea....
goombalax: interesting that it translated Aniki to Boss
Metric_Furlong: other ways include: quasi-religious fixation on a royal family, strained historical relations with the continental mainland and carbohydrate sandwiches (Yakisoba Pan :: Chip Butty)
TheAwkes: Wouldn't have expected translating aniki to boss.
Metric_Furlong: @TheAwkes it gets the gist across, even if the literal meaning is obscured
MAPBoardgames: These voice actors had fuin
Earthenone: in this case, a sworn brother they are learning from, boss is a fair translation
RandomTrivia:
None of that was foley, it was all method acting
iris_of_ether: I *knew* I heard Kiryu's voice!
HorusFive: Oh no. Somebody brought a gun to a broom fight
MAPBoardgames: It's all fun and games until someone pulls a gun. Then it's American fun and games.
Marvoleath: bringing a gun to a broom fight? rude
KeytarCat: Aniki to boss is a yakuza thing, it's one degree of status difference from my understanding
goombalax: I could see Bro
protojman: *family*
noSmokeFire: Bro like Yakuza vs Bro like Beowulf
KaleidoscopeMind: bruh
iris_of_ether: Like a sworn bro
nyoomgoom: i learned aniki = boss from digimon savers of all things
Agnememnon: it could have just been replaced with senior or something
Juliamon: America has tainted the concept of 'bro'
nyoomgoom: the agumon from digimon savers called his human partner aniki
TehAmelie: maybe "senior brother" would have been exact but
nyoomgoom: that was the human who activated digivolution by fricken punching the guys
Metric_Furlong: the art of translation is about conveying the concept as much as it is the literal meaning
TXC2: part of why translation is so hard
Sarah_Serinde:
@iris_of_ether Okay I thought it was just someone who sounded similar, nice. Also the fact that he's called Michi and there's mascots...
dumbo3k: To be fair, they also only sent 2 guys to guard 12 billion yen
TehAmelie: wait that thumb has a green tooth
TXC2: dumbo3k I guess they were going for digression
goombalax: "I have served. I will serve"
TXC2: *discretion
Strebenherz: good evneing
TXC2: hello Strebenherz welcome
Strebenherz: evening.^ why uhh.. why is there a giant angry potato?
Juliamon: Strebenherz They're a finger
gualdhar: "I thirst, Mother"
Metric_Furlong:
you can tell it's fiction because there's no way someone with those legs could be a killer in real life
Strebenherz:
@Juliamon 
TXC2: I think it was Kingsman that had a villein that was a double amputee
TehAmelie:
adopted twins, adopted on the same day
accountmadeforants: Get her on Twitter right now, she'll waste all her time posting dumb shit to rile people up rather than do any real damage
TXC2:
a gold tooth that some how has green tarnishing? 
accountmadeforants: (Though, actually, with some of the world leaders right now, riling people up on Twitter might still qualify as geo-political destabilization.)
Sarah_Serinde: There's a bit of green reflection on him in various places
Sarah_Serinde: including the cigar
goombalax: it has green shading around the edges
gualdhar: it's definitely a gold tooth but I can see how some of the shadowing is a bit green
accountmadeforants: It's very gold, yes, but there is a slight green reflection along the edges
Metric_Furlong:
hell of a way for chat to find out they're colour blind
TheMerricat: There is a smidge of gree on the left of the tooth but the whole is gold.
TheAwkes: The gang has a visual theme of green underlighting on their inserts.
Strebenherz: is this gaslighting
Metric_Furlong: "if you shut your eyes and imagine it's green..."
TXC2:
Strebenherz no
accountmadeforants: #GreenToothIsReal
TehAmelie: i choose to believe it's a gold tooth made of such cheap alloy it's tarnished
CaptainSpam:
Look, this is a very rude, roundabout way to tell someone he has spinach in his teeth.
KeytarCat: Finger's hilight color is green, its whole body is a little green
goombalax: haven't seen this much tooth gassing since Dune
Metric_Furlong: green tooth truthers (toothers?)
nyoomgoom: @TheAwkes this ^ the green is present in the lighting effects on the entire picture
Marvoleath: maybe some herb just got stuck to it and noone has told him
TXC2: goombalax wow what a deep cut
nyoomgoom: look her boa has green on it
margieargie: It's very green in a spiritual sense I guess
SquareDotCube: that's a decade old now
nyoomgoom:
the dress *was* blue and black, they found it on amazon 
TheMerricat: Look, I see the old lady, not the young one.
Strebenherz: dancers spinning? what now?
Metric_Furlong: I bet you think it's two faces looking at each other
CaptainSpam: This MF thinks Crow was looking away from the screen.
goombalax: I cast Green Needle and draw 3
accountmadeforants:
🟩 
Phailhammer: I just see two bears high-fiving.
CaptainSpam: If I know anything from media, it's that you never mess with the janitor. Never.
Strebenherz: @accountmadeforants gotcha thank you
TehAmelie: eh, that janitor is less scary than Ahti
TheAwkes: Time to drift up the touge.
KeytarCat: TAKUNI
TXC2: and I mean BIG big big....
TXC2: we control the vertical, maybe the horizontal
Spades_Slicc: You're gonna have to [redacted] the mascots
KeytarCat: @Spades_Slicc *get to 😼
goombalax: wait is this just going to be A Better Tomorrow
TehAmelie: i hope we meet Hazel and Cha-Cha
KeytarCat: Pinky-star
Spades_Slicc: Rude of them to not pronounce the star
Strebenherz: PFFFFFFT
nyoomgoom: jesus
TXC2: SO VASCULAR!
accountmadeforants: EXCELLENT
Strebenherz: that is a god tier expression
vinewood_og: Sweet Fancy Moses
JessieImproved: The voice actor had to have so much fun
TehAmelie: this game is inspiring me to trim my nails
nyoomgoom: wait pinky's painted nail is cute
gualdhar: only lovin' to find here are by the bed bugs
Kentosaurus: and wart on the side
TheMerricat: Chat, what is in the netting behind Pinky??
Invitare: onions?
Strebenherz: onions i think
Metric_Furlong: @Kentosaurus that's a bump from the fight they just had
KeytarCat: trash bags under nets?
nyoomgoom: let's gooooo fisher king
Kentosaurus: this place could use a janitor
accountmadeforants: Hello violence-likers how do you do
Strebenherz: this dialogue xD
TehAmelie: i am violence enjoyer
nyoomgoom: not me i'm afraid
Piratical_tendancies: o/
MTigress: sure are!
ContingentCat:
TXC2: I'm more of violence-academic
RAICx: After today's day at work, I'm a violence lover
MTigress: violence intern
TXC2: RAICx sorry to hear that, hope things get better for you
protojman: triplets eh
TXC2:
a curse called "effective policing"
RAICx: @TXC2 I appreciate that, thanks
TheMerricat: Donkey.....
Spades_Slicc: Does Don Kii have a friend named Ho Te?
accountmadeforants: Well, at least she's cleaning it up somewhat
ArdCollider: gogurt is the S-tier unspeakable bus fluid that's still legal in public
Strebenherz: oh no

nyoomgoom: that was a good dynamic pose
Metric_Furlong:
well, you need to really *hear* the dialogue
The_Color_Twelve: I don't want to go outside anymore
wedge_x: yeah worked in a movie theater for a year. people are fucked up
TheMerricat: See doing your ears doesn't mess with me, leaving your shit for other people to clean up... that's fucking gross.
TXC2: !break
LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to. Don't forget to wash your hands!
MTigress: gotta clean out to properly appreciate theater, i guess
KeytarCat: And here I thought I was disgusting. I just have a body!
TXC2:
surely there was a medical reason right?
Pinwiz11: I came in at the right time, I guess
nyoomgoom: generously i might assume they tried to pack up their trash in their bags or pockets and it fell out, but unfortunately, people
ArdCollider: had a boss who would floss and drive
accountmadeforants: In the way back when, as a kid stocking the grocery store, I found some nail clippings on the floor. And I still wonder about them.
TXC2: right chat I'm off
Juliamon: accountmadeforants look, sometimes you break a nail and you gotta fix it
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Cori and Cameron
ArdCollider: (watches TXC do like the Christopher Walken dive out of this convo)
MTigress: clean your ears before bed!
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon But it was multiple nails' worth
dumbo3k: @MTigress instructions unclear, cleaned ears in mattress shop
Metric_Furlong:
@accountmadeforants sometimes you break multiple nails
accountmadeforants: You're right, my bad, we've all been there.
Spades_Slicc: Sometimes you break someone else's nails
TehAmelie: the fun explanation, maybe some lady just had to trim the nails of her first two fingers at the last minute before a date
KeytarCat: @Spades_Slicc My dad has a story of the only time he's broken a bone. He stepped on someone playing volleyball and broke their foot
KeytarCat: Oh, right back into it!
Metric_Furlong:
it'd be weirder if there wasn't a used condom, frankly
Strebenherz: IN THE CUPHOLDER?!
wedge_x: 'relax'
Cptasparagus: it adds some fun dynamic sounds to the ones you're listening to
Strebenherz: also i appreciate how weirdly shopped the cockroaches and bugs are
The_Color_Twelve: not enough bleach in the world
Strebenherz: the bad photoshop is great
Spades_Slicc: The bugs might be interested in the floor onions
SquareDotCube: they're also VERY STIFF by the looks of them
Strebenherz: also why does a love hotel need onions
Juliamon: !addquote (Cameron) [now] The cockroaches crawling on the rental costumes are less gross than this conversation.
LRRbot: New quote #9390: "The cockroaches crawling on the rental costumes are less gross than this conversation." —Cameron [2025-09-04]
Metric_Furlong: look, we don't kinkshame any more
TehAmelie: nobody pays extra for the laundry
vinewood_og: I was trying not to go there
TheAwkes: It's the plastic display food of outfits.
EvilBadman: Maybe that's the hall of fame
vinewood_og: 20 pound sledge
The_Color_Twelve: no the other hammer, the sledge
accountmadeforants: Like retired jerseys
Strebenherz: you swing a hammer at the maid outfit, and the hammer breaks off
TheAwkes: "Unregardlessly" !!?!!?
Strebenherz: SUDDENLY GLASSES
Marvoleath: @EvilBadman a Glory Hall if you will
accountmadeforants: I love that her model also has the glasses now
Strebenherz: @Marvoleath A+, and also, oh no
Strebenherz: THINGS. HAPPENED.
TehAmelie: things involving driving a flat bed truck full of cash through gangster territory
ContingentCat: Is that good?
BrookJustBones: As a european, what is a good score?
Strebenherz: so converting the yen to CAD, about 111.636m cad apparently?
vinewood_og: IT'S A TRAP
TehAmelie: it goes up to 1600 and then you get to take good loans, as i understand
accountmadeforants: As someone in a country without credit scores, is that high or low? Is higher or lower better?
wedge_x: higher is better
vinewood_og: Metric credit
ContingentCat: Not taking out a mortgage or having a car loan probably helps
iris_of_ether: Cameron I think you have better credit than me and I've got a mortgage
RuiFaleiro: things i am scared to investigate about myself
TheMerricat: "Canadian credit scores are three-digit numbers, ranging from 300 to 900, with higher scores indicating a greater likelihood of repaying bills on time and being a desirable borrower for lenders. A score of 660 and above is generally considered "good" or better, with scores in the 760-900 range considered "excellent". You can obtain your credit score and report for free from Canada's main credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion (if you live in Quebec)"
EvilBadman: ^that's the same as the US

KeytarCat: "I may have credit, but I don't have the money to have enough money to take a loan"
ContingentCat: huh I really have no clue how they work apparently
TheMerricat: @EvilBadman I believe we stop at 850
vinewood_og:
Me too... not in enough debt 
EvilBadman: @TheMerricat Close enough!
spurius: I have a mortage but not credit card and that hurts my score
RatherLargeToad: it’s paradoxical, but your credit score gets dinged for not having “enough” lines of credit and for paying off all your debts
Sarah_Serinde: I have a great credit score but because of my income I couldn't get much of a mortgage above 200k and lol that's not gonna get you anything anywhere near here
EvilBadman: Yeah credit scores are a racket I had /no/ score until I was like 35
Juliamon: I've never had a credit card, so I don't have any credit
RatherLargeToad: They want you to have a bunch of credit cards, a mortgage, and to take time paying off debt
Juliamon: My sister literally signed up for a card in order to have credit
TheMerricat: And how likely you are to skip out of paying. If you don't have a 'history' they can't evaluate how likely you are to bail.
TehAmelie: yeah i guess you're supposed to game the system by using a credit card responsibly to gain rating without paying interest for it
Mazrae: Been kind of paying attention to this game, because of that im lost but this game seems crazy but a bit fun
Spades_Slicc: Pinky whipping shittys in the truckbed
MTigress: as someone who has never gotten a credit card but worked a ton, when a credit check was run on me when trying to rent a house with friends, i had a 750. the scores a pretty much made up.
Juliamon: InconsiderateHat You really, really did
TheAwkes: There was an open ended dock with sparkles on the end. Begging to be jumped off of.
TheAinMAP: Jump?!
SnackPak_: got those airbags in the wheels
accountmadeforants: It's been a while, welcome back, Mako
Juliamon: the hydraulics on this bad boy
InconsiderateHat: Oh sick, a K truck
Marvoleath: Truckour?
Mazrae: Nice parking job
Juliamon: Maybe put the broom away
Juliamon: Or like, put that hand in a pocket to hide the missing digit
Sarah_Serinde: I love that the star is just part of her name
Strebenherz: that looks like my dad's amiga monitor
Strebenherz: pinky is a rolling -10 on charisma rolls to the party
TehAmelie: can you try sounding a little less sincere?
Strebenherz: OR THE KNIFE?!
Strebenherz: did pinky knife the bouncy castle
TheAinMAP:
dankmemeter: Pinky has that Pop Team Epic energy
Juliamon: oh, she's good at the on-demand tears
accountmadeforants: Oscar-worthy
Piratical_tendancies: peak voice acting
Strebenherz: DAMN
itira: dear god
itira:
Strebenherz: this is the kind of unhinged i didn't realize i needed today
Strebenherz: NEW ORLEANS
Spades_Slicc: This town's mascots would do numbers on tumblr
Symphoneers: Ah, the WTF contingent.
TheAinMAP: Ragtag bunch of misfit mascots.
Strebenherz: And now the simpsons new orleans song is in my head
TheAinMAP: Pinky is the direct one.
KeytarCat: Are we trying to be clever or trying to get shit done?
Marvoleath: Blackmail or threats?
Marvoleath: Ah, the carrot
TehAmelie: of course we're waltzing in here waving around yakuza tattoos pretty much like a loaded gun. . .
Metric_Furlong: least corrupt small town mayor
Marvoleath: Hey, at least he's honest about being dishonest
Strebenherz: amazing
SnackPak_: how convenient
RelwinEJ: Man has a nose for an open bar
Spades_Slicc: His friends wedding or your friends wedding?
OnyxOblivion: Pinky for character of the year 2025
Cptasparagus: he declared prima nocta on the bar
vinewood_og:
itira: im sorry... I just got here. Is pinky... a... pinky finger?
Symphoneers: Getting hammered stands eternal.
KeytarCat: @itira She sure is!
Metric_Furlong: you're asking the wrong twitch chat
RAICx: itira yes, don't worry about it
wedge_x: time to get zooted, Pinky
itira: horrifying
SquareDotCube: it's late stage capitalism, they get screwed more than hammered
TehAmelie: 8 bit lokos at least, right?
iris_of_ether: Oh shit my sister got blitzed on Zima at a cousin's wedding and made out with a random dude. She was not 21
Strebenherz: pfffffft
iris_of_ether: It was wildly out of character
wedge_x: 4Locccccco
Cptasparagus: is the bottom part of pinkie supposed to be degloved flesh?
Marvoleath: she's a cut off digit, like from a Yakuza
TehAmelie: when i was a kid we made do with non-alcoholic cider, headache tablets and the placebo effect

TehAmelie: is it a pinky promise?
TheAwkes: @TehAmelie ~golf clap~
accountmadeforants: Daruma Doll instructions: "Step 1: Have a dream" -"Yeesh, what about step 0?"
10 raiders from jvitoria have joined!
Metric_Furlong: just the classic Showa era social media account, nothing weird here
TehAmelie: sup raiders
iris_of_ether: Ouch
accountmadeforants: Omfg
RAICx: Joined at a good time, raiders
NotCainNorAbel: and im dead
Juliamon: I HAVE SEEN THAT yes
Metric_Furlong: classic 80s blackberry
TheAwkes: It wasn't even and *early* blackberry.
vinewood_og: 1900s smart phone
RelwinEJ: Mobile phones had cars attached in the 80's
TehAmelie: my grandpa was an early mobile adopter. it was mobile in the sense that it could plug into the car
TehAmelie: needed the car to carry the battery really
Marvoleath: Blueberry with a physical qwerty was the high-end business phone of the days
fonkoncle: chat, how is it so far?
Juliamon: amazing
accountmadeforants: I still remember where all the payphones used to be where I grew up. That was important.
fonkoncle: cool this is one i've been after
SquareDotCube: Oldest cell phone I've held was one that was mostly a 7-segment display and had that cheap pleather skin over it, also you had to extend the antenna. I've not dealt with the famous ones or the bag phones
sephsays: my dream is for those roaches to no longer be on the screen. starting to wig me out a little 😛
Sarah_Serinde: "if" "first"
wedge_x: so there's a chance
SquareDotCube: oh and of course the flip out reciever
Metric_Furlong: roadtrip with some light exercise
Juliamon: daruma!
SquareDotCube: what's bonding in organized crime without some roadtrips to bury bodies
TehAmelie: one thing i wish caught on was landline phones with texting capability. never even heard of them except for my dad who had one
AFamiliarCalledEl: Landline with text sounds like a telegram, they were pretty popular at one point :v
TehAmelie: classy!
Marvoleath: @TehAmelie we briefly had a service where a person would call you and read a text to you if it was send to the landline without the texting function
accountmadeforants: Delightful
Juliamon: this is... a scene
vinewood_og: Michael Jackson Pollack
KeytarCat: Honestly, a gently spinning bed seems great
Invitare: I think I understand why Ian was excited for this game on TS
RuiFaleiro: the pattern at the bottom of that thumb is giving white mage robes
TehAmelie: maybe white mages are dressed to evoke severed limbs
accountmadeforants: Special magical power: Staying calm under pressure
Anubis169:
Hi gang 
accountmadeforants: I don't think anyone who can afford internet access is desperate enough to join us
accountmadeforants: Never mind
accountmadeforants: @Anubis169 Her dad was also a severed finger, her mom was a marshmallow fairy
TheAinMAP:
SquareDotCube: that tofu is just absorbing those tears right back in
Sarah_Serinde: this is all a mood
Anubis169: what in the actual flarp
Marvoleath: @Anubis169 it's a digitmon or something
itira: never stops crying? mood
KeytarCat: ABC, Always Be Crying
Juliamon: Anubis169 It's the child of a fairy marshmallow and a severed finger
vinewood_og: That's my secret, Cap
Juliamon: (that's literally what the game stated)
Anubis169: but ok
Anubis169: x_x
wedge_x: To-Fu, the Xanax Pokemon
Metric_Furlong: lucky
accountmadeforants: Well, you see Anubis, when a marshmallow fairy and a severed finger love each other very much
TehAmelie: i recall some actor interview where he talked about crying on command: "the secret is not crying the rest of the time"
KeytarCat: I could feel myself closing off in middle school, when I was on adderall. Not a great time for many reasons
accountmadeforants: I don't think your therapist would approve of this environment, to-Fu
Juliamon: Anubis169 Basically, this is an alternate universe (Showa era) where, instead of being people in costumes, mascots are actual people
wedge_x: how were you radicalized, tofu
Juliamon: Pinky's severed-finger dad was yakuza
TehAmelie: i'm worried who might want to rent a tofu block. maybe someone who will think "it's already missing a corner, what's a little more?"
vinewood_og: Time for a tofunion
KeytarCat: I wonder if you can play this game with full even profit split
Anubis169: oooookay got the context
Anubis169:
Juliamon: is yakuza, even
Anubis169:
Thankies 
Juliamon: the player character, Michi, worked with him until a business deal went bad and now he's been shoved into this backwater town
Juliamon: he and Pinky have to revitalize the local mascot agency-turned-love-hotel to survive.
TehAmelie:
Invitare: capitalism
accountmadeforants: Those are agency/consultancy fees alright
accountmadeforants: Do those look like the eyes of a liar
accountmadeforants: 👀
Metric_Furlong: "mini map" is Japanese for mini map
BrowneePointz: so the gameplay of this has me thinking Cori, is Dispatch on the Potential Talking Sim watchlist?
TehAmelie: i fear Pinky will say anything to avoid upsetting anyone
itira: pinky in the flesh is wild
Marvoleath: Remember about truck jump
TehAmelie: haven't seen a car with a jump like that since Twisted Metal
TheAwkes: Embrace the chaos.
Juliamon: this ain't america, you gotta follow da rules
accountmadeforants: Why does Pinky merch exist
Juliamon: oh, I like her already
accountmadeforants: Good for Nui and Yui
accountmadeforants: Hell yeah Shiori
Ranakel: One thing that I feel is interesting is that given the development studio's location, it's maybe even more a game about the british countryside as about the japanese countryside
CommanderPulsar: keeping a super low profile as a cleaner, carrying a broom everywhere you go.
Metric_Furlong:
@Ranakel further demonstrating the hypothesis that Britain and Japan are basically the same country
Sarah_Serinde: Normal stuff
accountmadeforants: Ah, so we can get Shiori to bury the mayor in the woods
itira: cat sorry
gualdhar: that went from 0 to 60 real quick
Juliamon: It says "Pinky"
Gekyouryuu: it says Pinkie, yeah
Marvoleath: 3 equal things
Ranakel: @Metric_Furlong Yeah, the meiji restoration will do that.
Gekyouryuu: Pi N Ki -
Juliamon: Michi isn't much of a brain
accountmadeforants: Fair
Ranakel: That's the kind of attitude that keeps chat accountable
Mazrae: Listening and kind of watching this game, I kind of realize why Ian might of been excited for you two to play this
KeytarCat: I love the autosave icon
Juliamon: yeah this game is *precisely* Ian's shit
Spades_Slicc: How do the fans know you met shiori?
Metric_Furlong: @Spades_Slicc Pinky posts everything we do on social media
KeytarCat: I've decided Pinky is a HAM operator, but we're calling it social media
Bruceski: Pinky is ham, all right
KeytarCat: eyoo
Mazrae: This music is very good, nice chill vibes
Sarah_Serinde: Pinky at least wait until you're out of earshot
OnyxOblivion: they want nerds i guess
Metric_Furlong: classic Showa era online streaming
Mazrae: The game took a while with the setup but now we are getting somewhere
Spades_Slicc: Remember you need to keep your employee's stamina in mind at the love hotel
KeytarCat: It's cool that the stamps probably tell you who you're going to meet later
Spades_Slicc: The mascot events are streamed???
gualdhar: tofu: such a fuck up they're a tutorial battle
vinewood_og: Me vs making one phone call
accountmadeforants: Now *this* is Aesthetics
KeytarCat: Someone call Wheeler!
Sarah_Serinde: good job To-Fu
Metric_Furlong: we overcame the Normal Sized Door!
KeytarCat: Good job To-fu!
inetro: This game was such a joy to play. The mascots are really fun
TheAinMAP:
Ranakel: This means it technically could work in "is this your card?"
Sarah_Serinde: Too subtle I guess
KeytarCat: Flies around the garbage nets
KeytarCat: Smoke would do it
iris_of_ether: Yeah it looks a bit wasteland-ish outside

inetro: The pink signs and garbage are also breakables. They give you rep and money
KeytarCat: Was that the signboard or an unrelated Pinky interaction?
TheAinMAP: Bonk
Lord_Hosk: Just go off on a little tangent to see the Captain?
Ranakel: The only kamen rider to respect traffic laws, presumably
Ranakel: Excellent timing
Gekyouryuu: the new season is being simulcast, too
Gekyouryuu: it'll be on Shout Factory's youtube
Gekyouryuu: from what I hear, it'll premiere on there at 7:30 pm PST, and stream until Monday, then have a rerun on friday, and new episode same time the saturday after
KeytarCat: Cpt. Sign has pretty good crowd control
OnyxOblivion: oh some of this is new
inetro: Oh wow theyve added more Hero Cards since launch, neat
OnyxOblivion: musta been patched in since i beat the game in june
Ranakel: Oh that's new, the expensive ones, yeah
KeytarCat: Deja Vu?
EvilBadman: It is very good at being near enough songs as a pastiche
nyoomgoom: it is giving kamen rider parody, but i only know that from knowing the kk slider kamen rider parody
Ranakel: Oh, actually, part of it reminds me heavily of a vtuber eurobeat song, so that's probably not it.
Ranakel: Still, love the kind of song that reminds everybody about something slightly different
inetro: Nope, its up the mountain.
Gekyouryuu: I knew it! Captain Sign IS voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama!
TheAinMAP:
Gekyouryuu: and I thought Michi's VA was someone with a really good Kiryu impression, but it just IS Kiryu
gualdhar: so how does a place with sentient mascots not have seat belt laws for them? *ignores Florida*
fcloud:
are the driving controls super wonky, or is cam falling-down drunk? 
Gekyouryuu: also, one of the mascots in this is voiced by Swery, apparently
inetro: Classic stuff For Later
fcloud: "bar itai" = "pain bar"?
inetro: Mama-san!
Juliamon: yup, pain bar
nyoomgoom: damn!
gualdhar: not to mention all the chaffing
OnyxOblivion: tofu probably cant fit in the front door here
fcloud: tending bar is the natural job for a being with short stubby arms and no fingers
fcloud: daijoubu
TheAinMAP:
TheAwkes: HELL yeah.
TehAmelie: whoa we have a sea truck?
inetro: This vehicle is near unbreakable
inetro: Your car is the broom
OnyxOblivion: fresh mani
nyoomgoom: clarification, "damn!" re: pinky saying michi doesn't have what she needs
inetro: Odd...that is how theyre supposed to be dealt with! Same with pink Mayor signs
TheAwkes: Promise has been wishlisted.
fcloud: i love pinky's attitude
Ranakel: I absolutely love this game. Glad it works for you too!
Lord_Hosk: Mission "someone is running over all my signs... please find out who it is and stop them"
TheAwkes: I think I just spotter a breakaway wall in that little corridor.
fcloud: pinky actually prefers to be slightly concussed
Juliamon: !clip

TheAinMAP:
inetro: Drives like a boat, handles like a boat, floats like a boat
inetro: Oh no
Juliamon: I'm screaming
fcloud: wow, i would have bet money it was japanese
inetro: They made Paradise Killer as well, a favourite of mine
Ranakel: To-fu is a treasure
inetro: Some of the mascots are *somethin else*
Ranakel: No clarifying, but yes to at least one of these guesses
inetro: Lots of interesting ones for sure, they're very funny
gualdhar: weld them into sea-cans?
questionablchoices: thanks for the stream
TehAmelie: thanks for the stream. this game is continually surprising
TheAwkes: In 1990 instead of social media we had hanging out in the laneway.
Gekyouryuu: I'm REALLY hoping the set isn't 100% spoiled, and there's a card for "Spider-Man, Emissary from Hell"
gualdhar: just a quality little indie game
SquareDotCube: Have you florbed
EvilBadman: That fight rules
Ashmantle:
TheAinMAP:
TheAinMAP: Thank you for streaming.
questionablchoices: !schedule
TehAmelie: hmm, one hour is far too little time to get into Silksong
TehAmelie: should i buy it now and download in advance? nah, don't buy more game unless you're going to play it "right now"
