neisan2112: Lets see if French will break this game too
toturi91: LRR cart when?
SkylerRingtail: Is the camera out of focus for folks?
consolecowboy88: @captainspam I do think the Halloween and  Xmas specials are darn charming

Garfman314: this appears less jank than the first
Dog_of_Myth: 
SkylerRingtail: @Garfman314 Less jank, but somehow more soulless
KaleidoscopeMind: someone's not getting French'd
NotCainNorAbel: or play in french
ghyllnox: 
BrowneePointz: oh, in person karft
PharaohBender27: There were highlight clips about that issue!
KaleidoscopeMind: it switching to french portented doom
AugmentingPath: Illinois?
BrowneePointz: besides the US? no
AugmentingPath: or wait, Indiana, I think
A_Dub888: Suburb USA
PharaohBender27: Jim Davis is from Indiana IIRC, so maybe there?
dumbo3k: Indiana I think
KaleidoscopeMind: Indiana
Dog_of_Myth: Indiana is correct
accountmadeforants: I will say, the lighting system's been improved significantly over the first one, and there's some interesting motion blur effects. I guess that's what slightly(?) more money and experience buys you.
iris_of_ether: I think Indiana
BrowneePointz: Indiana!? no WONDER Garf is miserable and Jon sucks!
PharaohBender27: But I don't think it's ever spelled out. Then again, not a Garfield fan
TehAmelie: it's been so many years since it took place anywhere besides a blank room with a countertop
Scy_Anide: Oooh, it's called anthropocene cuz of all the furries. Now I get it.
Garfman314: according to the internet, Muncie Indiana
Dog_of_Myth: As someone from Indiana, it was forced knowledge
zimmercj: According to WIkipedia they live in Muncie Indiana, the creator's hometown
 Sarah_Serinde: 
EvilBadman: We know it's not abu dhabi or Wyoming (which does not exist)
Pal_Friendpatine: Babes and Bullets was an amazing Garfield half-hour special
Peter_Chordash: I wonder if this will have any big band covers of songs from the first game 
Dog_of_Myth: Muncie, Indiana is also home to Ball St. University.
Metric_Furlong: "shoot cops" - Ian Horner, 2025

HadesLeprechaun: @AugmentingPath It looks like the Aardman penguin, Feathers McGraw
CaptainSpam: These voices, geez.

AugmentingPath: @HadesLeprechaun DuckerZ
KaleidoscopeMind: odie's little ear flops when jumping over the fans was good
DaFhaye: Howdy yall
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: hey just like in lrrnans
PharaohBender27: Oh so Ian is Liz, got it
accountmadeforants: I like how even after recovering it pointed Ian straight at a wall
voren_chalco: The floating effect without a glider looks really weird
zshunter: This doesn't seem as jank as the first game
Mazrae: Odie looke like he's having so much fun
TehAmelie: in my headcanon the part of Lakitu is played by Lyman
WriterRaven: @TehAmelie I accept this headcanon and adopt it as my own.
accountmadeforants: "Eat All Night", not as fun as GANT, but maybe we'll spot some other signs

ThirdFloorDraft: rainbow road, but a tiny figure 8 circuit
TehAmelie: the janky roads, the speed bost circles, is this a Superman 64 remake?
UltraVioletVodoo: 7 laps!?!
aitsu100: so this is the baby park of Garf Kart
ThirdFloorDraft: it's too short, all there is no room

A_Dub888: "Boss are you SURE this is how we're supposed to lay out the the scaffolding?"

HadesLeprechaun: This game looks competent enough to not be offensive, not bad enough to be funny, and not good enough to be fun
red_shoes_jeff: !y

TehAmelie: that trophy is cute at leasy

PharaohBender27: Welp
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sobbing skull island?
A_Dub888: booo
Garfman314: that might be the whole cutscene
accountmadeforants: @HadesLeprechaun At this trajectory, Garfcart 3 could be good, at least.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
accountmadeforants: I wonder if this game came with any Garfield comics or if it really is a vehicle for licensing something popular through literal vehicles
Garfman314: the music sure is... ocurring
Thefluffiestguineapig: @raulghoulia Same, I so rarely see another vorthos that enjoying Kathleen's joy is always delightful
accountmadeforants: Like, surely they could have a lil comic during the loading screens

Sethalidos: I think LRRBot am not okay
 Juliamon: You'll notice nobody has subs
Dog_of_Myth: Twitch being twitch it seems
accountmadeforants: @RandomTrivia Probably a twitch issue mucking with the thing that lets lrrbot recognise subs

 Juliamon: Fun tip: if you're a Patreon subscriber, you can circumvent it!
Garfman314: i agree there should be the US acres folks

  Anubis169: keep the clips comin'!
PharaohBender27: OK let's see if this works
TristalMTG: You can't fully appreciate Garfield until you've read it in the original Japanese.
 PharaohBender27: Hm I may have missed a step there, or is it a thing where I need to refresh?

  Juliamon: Oh, sub badges seem to be coming back now
 accountmadeforants: @Diabore This has happened a few times before, it's usually just a chat thing (and reflected by the sub badges showing up)
 PharaohBender27: Oh right my Patreon is in my IRL name, so maybe that's the issue
 accountmadeforants: And hey, I'm seeing sub badges again

 Diabore: im still gonna tap my stuff, you cant make me change
  Sarah_Serinde: PharaohBender27 What effect are you expecting to see that you aren't seeing?
gibbousm: I believe they've said if they could redo it, Blue would be B and Black would be K
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: gundam card game has colours?
TristalMTG: Kind of like how basically every looty game uses the world of warcraft/diablo treasure color scheme
Wrexadecimal: straight garfin' it
 ArmstrongRGM96X: Of course the X factor in said Gundam TCG argument is that, being a Bandai game, there is a decent chance black gets added as a color at some point
 zimmercj: I actually kind of miss the jank of the original.
Garfman314: what system is this on?
 PharaohBender27: @gibbousm Oh OK apparently the first time clicking the "link" button just went to the end of the process. I think it's been remedied by retrying
  Juliamon: TristalMTG Not even just looty games, random browser games too! It's massively widespread
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Or how many games now default to the "bonfire" system from FromSoft
 Sheikun07: @zimmercj Wait, I haven't been paying that much attention.  Is this one actually *viable* to play?
Garfman314: it is... functional
 Sheikun07: That's sadly disappointing.
 A_Dub888: @Sheikun07 well no one's lasagna'd themselves into the void yet..
 Thefluffiestguineapig: This game has no soul
 accountmadeforants: @Garfman314 PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch
 PharaohBender27: OK doesn't seem to have affected my badges, but oh well - I have enough frontloaded to my posts as is 
 Sheikun07: @A_Dub888 So there's still hope
 accountmadeforants: So, you know, nobody's been excluded from garfcart
 Fruan: Yep, this is "disappointing Mario Kart" instead of "terrible Mario Kart"
  Sarah_Serinde: @PharaohBender27 It can't affect your Twitch badges, LRRbot has no power over Twitch badges

 Diabore: welcome back lrrbot
  Juliamon: Connecting your Twitch and Patreon just tells LRRbot to bypass the need for a sub badge, it doesn't give you a new one
 zimmercj: @Sheikun07 It is, but it is also missing some references to the comic/cartoon the first hgame had.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, I'm not seeing any references so far
 Thefluffiestguineapig: No fun easter eggs
 Sheikun07: I'd think a game like this would be nothing BUT references.
 PharaohBender27: @Sarah_Serinde Oh I see I misunderstood the intent behind Juliamon's post. Well, in the event my Twich sub ends, guess there's a backup!

 TehAmelie: front, back and hat. that's all the parts of a car
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Firewhiskers Garfield, Nermel, Jon, Lizzie, Big Dog, Oddie
Toaster_Strooder: Aight I think there’s just no Garfield Quote
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone!
consolecowboy88: (bowie 1977  heroes voice ) it’s Monday
Metric_Furlong: who says that hubris has never reared its ugly head in this particular room of the moonbase
 Akaiatana: Welcome to the New Nermal

Toaster_Strooder: @Metric_Furlong Jon should NOT be this swagger
  Sarah_Serinde: (There are two other Garfield quotes but they're about a different Garfield)
Toaster_Strooder: @Sarah_Serinde I thank you for this service

   Anubis169: 
 Akaiatana: Lasagna Western
kusinohki: I assume squeak is one of the mice in the house garfield refuses to catch
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/CloudyAstuteBunnyCopyThis-bk0f37M-DrLMujBp
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Sarah_Serinde I assume they are from Ian/Wheeler about the president?
 PharaohBender27: DANGIT
Mathwyn: I can only assume there are references to newer garfield media than we have all experienced
  Sarah_Serinde: @Thefluffiestguineapig You assume wrong
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/InnocentSuspiciousPuffinPogChamp-IT2HkgqHzpibmwlU This is the one I meant to link
  Sarah_Serinde: !quote 4928
  LRRbot: Quote #4928: "...the way Richard Garfield intended!" —Adam [2018-04-28]
Toaster_Strooder: @Sarah_Serinde Are they about an IRL cat?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Sarah_Serinde Really? Damnit
 Thefluffiestguineapig: OH RIGHT
  Juliamon: The *other* other Garfield
  Sarah_Serinde: They are MtG-related jokes
 zimmercj: @Sarah_Serinde You mean the comic isn't about the founder of MTG?
TheAinMAP:  
  Sarah_Serinde: @zimmercj I mean now that's my headcanon
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Can we supplex the train?
Toaster_Strooder: @sarah_serinde - How do you have these specific quotes at the ready among so many? o:
  Juliamon: !qdb
  LRRbot: Quote database: https://lrrbot.com/quotes/
  Juliamon: You can search m ore directly there
 A_Dub888: @Sarah_Serinde I didn't know he had a fursona and yet...
Toaster_Strooder: Oh that makes sense, thank you Julia
  Juliamon: 
Firewhiskers: It's like the real world, money makes you go faster through your life.
 KaleidoscopeMind: if nintendo asks for it
 zimmercj: @A_Dub888 The sixth colour of mana is lasagne
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh @Juliamon have you seen that the Pencilvanians have graduated from bumper car stage to being actual kitten looking nuggets now? (I ask because you are one of the few KA people with whom I can talk about this)
 betweenmyself: sadly this game doesn’t feature the most important Garfield of them all, who portrayed the third most popular Live action Spiderman 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @zimmercj So lasagna is colorless?

  Juliamon: gonna be eating big-kitty food soon!
Toaster_Strooder: @betweenmyself And who is responsible for my favorites things to yell when I see a vampire
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon It's so heartwarming, mama so readily passes them to Mr. A and it is so adorable. Just "oh good, thanks baby sitter, I need a damn break to eat and shower"
 niccus: i dont know if they made a good game but they made a remarkable soundscape
  Sarah_Serinde: 
 Driosenth: It's a secret between everyone and us
WriterRaven: Broad Crast, private eye.
 PharaohBender27: 
Toaster_Strooder: Many things are being recorded in life
adept_nekomancer: Don't worry, there's only like 400 of us
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @niccus I would argue they didn't make a good game, they made a game that evokes no feelings which is worse
Firewhiskers: I'm not watching you I swear
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/AmazonianPuzzledMoonPMSTwin-i8dByltDi9LbsZcA
Toaster_Strooder: You mean you want a sound test?

 raulghoulia: heathcliff in garfkart when?
 betweenmyself: Sadly for Kathleen, this GarfKart 2 VoD will be the only surviving evidence of LRR after the coming Giant Robot Wars of the 22nd century
Toaster_Strooder: Nermal is the Garfield universe’s Joe Rogan, that’s why Garfield hates him
 PharaohBender27: @betweenmyself 
adept_nekomancer: @Thefluffiestguineapig I only just got here, so this comment has probably already been made, but it feels very much to me like they made a mid 2010's Mariokart with all the serial numbers filed off
 PharaohBender27: @betweenmyself Are you a time traveler? You have to tell us if you are
 A_Dub888: @Toaster_Strooder Joe Rogan thinks he is the cutest and most precious kitty cat?
Toaster_Strooder: @A_Dub888 Yeah, probably. I dunno man, I don’t listen to podcasts.
Mathwyn: @betweenmyself So thats when the Universal Century starts *takes notes*
Toaster_Strooder: Or podcats in this case.
kusinohki: so when will the garf kart minus garf kart mod come out??
Lysander_salamander: I wonder how this compares to Sonic Racing
 mightygregdoge: Huzzah for the return of the Garf
  Sarah_Serinde: this tune feels too close to Kirby and I keep expecting it to end like the Kirby jingle but it *won't*
 PharaohBender27: I'm sorry did Kathleen just jump from 8th to 3rd!?

consolecowboy88: Kathleen is the next mf soon

 Kentosaurus: sounded like royalty free crocodile rock
TheAinMAP: 
 PharaohBender27: @Kentosaurus Oh wow now that you type that . . .
 DaxStrife: Good ol' Hippo and Frog.
Firewhiskers: Does Garfield really have friends?
Lysander_salamander: do they have any of the "US Acres" characters in this?
kusinohki: would a "garfield vs snoopy" racer have legs? (wheels?)  are they under the same comic syndicate??  maybe just a generic "from the comic pages" to get more characters....  *shrug*
fonkoncle: fonk?
consolecowboy88: I’ve seen a lot of singing in cars lately - i think most of the people were stoned
Firewhiskers: @kusinohki The Schultz Estate would never allow crossovers.

 PharaohBender27 leaves for dinner so for the next 20-30 minutes it's up to others to clip
Mathwyn: Self-a-spleen
kusinohki: really??  considering all the other merchandising they do I find that surprising
consolecowboy88: pelf a sleen
Firewhiskers: @kusinohki It would degrade the brand
 KaleidoscopeMind: only ex-spleen yourself with an appropriate amount an anesthetic
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @KaleidoscopeMind Also that generally requires a transplant. Spleens do a lot of essential things in humans
kusinohki: I'm not doubting you, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around "crossovers degrade the brand, but shilling for met life doesn't"
 betweenmyself: @kusinohki on a somewhat related note, why not a Platform Fighter featuring characters exclusive to single panel comics?  “This world is too small to handle them all.”
 Sheikun07: @Firewhiskers There's a Garfield/Miku merch crossover that is very much real, so they're not AGAINST it so much as very choosy.
Firewhiskers: @Sheikun07 Hmmmmmmm
 TheCactaceae: @kusinohki I'm now imagining a Dennis the Menace (UK) vs Dennis the Menace (US) crossover which... I'm surprised hasn't happened
AugmentingPath: seems we've entered the bone zone
 Kentosaurus: oh the track is shaped like a bone
 zimmercj: @TheCactaceae Sounds like an ERB plot
 SnackPak_: this track looks like the Tool tool
Scarbble: i see we're playing the superior kart racing game tonight
 betweenmyself: Satellite of Love shaped track
 ContingentCat: garf kart is going on
 ContingentCat: that's all we really know
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/SplendidCallousRhinocerosVoteNay-GIcldgsAlzEjQhSJ
Lysander_salamander: yay hat
Firewhiskers: Always hats. The hats must flow.
 KaleidoscopeMind: did we ask before unlocking darth vader's butt?
 Sheikun07: At least they understand the allure of More Hat
Lysander_salamander: what's the difference between the ccs?
 Sheikun07: Speed and power of the carts
 Thefluffiestguineapig: When they are talking about cc's I keep thinking they are talking about mL's
 KaleidoscopeMind: more c's = more zooms
 Sheikun07: More ccs means you're generally dealing with going faster all the time
 betweenmyself: ‘Maakies’ kart racer when?  I require Drinky Crow and Uncle Gabby throwing moonshine jugs at one another while jockeying for position!
 putz12a: They kind of are - cc's = cubic centimeters = bigger engine
 putz12a: Or technically, more displacement, but whatever 
 LordZarano: Yeah it's engine displacement, the swept volume of the pistons
loufghyslaufey: What the !?
WriterRaven: @putz12a Huh. Today I learned.
JadedCynic: @Thefluffiestguineapig guess how many mLs a cubic centimetre is? 
 ContingentCat: !advice
  LRRbot: Don't go faster than a car can go.
  Juliamon: Timely
kusinohki: 0.5 oz
JadedCynic: not what I asked 
kusinohki: that was weird.  go an "unrecognized command" when I tried to type ".5 oz"...
JadedCynic: yes, because '.' is used for commands in twitch chat...
 Its_VeeBot: @JadedCynic About as much as a henway.
 62MGcobra: it should.... or otherwise....
 SnackPak_:  burrito
 Thefluffiestguineapig: You had that issue with the oyster knife, right?
 ContingentCat: Lol my parent's cats had a magnetic cat door and they'd sometimes get things stuck to it
   Anubis169: kusinohki: '.' is the command prefix, it was originally '/' but they changed it waaaaaaaaay way long ago
 SnackPak_: I'd eat that
WriterRaven: writes down "burrito skin"...
   Anubis169: you can get around it by putting a whitespace character before the .
Firewhiskers: Lasagnori
 calculated_uncertainties: curry musubi?
kusinohki: I only knew about the slash....
 ContingentCat: 
   Anubis169: it should type a literal .5 after that
  Juliamon: (you still can't lead with either / or . without a leading whitespace first)
kusinohki: stupid twitch commands overshadowing my dumb "I can't use metric units" joke...
 Its_VeeBot: Hey Twitch Chat, did you take your meds over the break
 putz12a: @JadedCynic 1cc = 1mL. But I'm Canadian, I learned metric in school.
andysoo89: @its_veebot I’m actually having withdrawals because I’m trying to wean off my meds
JadedCynic: taught the SI system and its interconnected units of measure
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Pooki would be a great driver
 niccus: a house's worth of spiders as a driver
kusinohki: (and 1mL of water = 1 graham, but don't tell anyone)
Mathwyn: Pookie is missing, not to mention Arlene
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/SpeedyCredulousAxeFunRun-PL_F5fRLjOHP6DxT
 Its_VeeBot: @andysoo89 I'm sorry to hear that, and hope recovery goes smoothly.
  Juliamon: Arlene is in the lineup
 putz12a: @kusinohki correct
mrverbal: @kusinohki And if you have 1000, it's a kill-o-graham
andysoo89: @its_veebot appreciate it 
Mathwyn: @juliamon she is? I'm just blind then!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @andysoo89  I'm sorry, if it helps have a parasocial long distance slow blink from my sleepy cats who are napping nearby
  Juliamon: yeah she just doesn't *look* like Arlene
JadedCynic: yeah, I imagine they would around victoria...
andysoo89: @thefluffiestguineapig definitely helps 
 betweenmyself: could go the ‘Garfield and Friends’ route and get Binky the Clown and characters from U.S. Acres (you know you want to play as Sheldon)

 Sheikun07: I keep looking for a dancing Kirby
  Juliamon: betweenmyself Buddy Bears or riot
 Sheikun07: Also, deep cut for a character: Lyman
 Its_VeeBot: Anyway, is this game... playable?
  Juliamon: Frustratingly playable
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Its_VeeBot Apparently, but utterly soulless and all the references seem gone
WriterRaven: @Sheikun07 Headcanon courtesy of TehAmelie: Lyman is the Lakitu of Garf kart.
 ContingentCat: and it's garfield
 Sheikun07: @WriterRaven ooooh, I like it
 Its_VeeBot: Look, I wasn't going to go so far as to call it "good", I want to give it a shot
 PharaohBender27 returns from dinner
Lysander_salamander: does this game have a plot?
 Its_VeeBot: When's the part where Garf smokes the pipe
 Thefluffiestguineapig: So have we seen almost all the tracks in this game?
 IanAllenBird: correct cori, I wouldn't
Mathwyn: What a man does with a dog bowl in the privacy of his own home is none of your business
  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!)
 Its_VeeBot: So a few years ago at PAX East I was Enforcing in Console Freeplay and the shifts had a competition to see how many times we could get attendees to borrow Garfield Kart.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: But the items are very generic
 A_Dub888: @Its_VeeBot what was the final score?
 Its_VeeBot: Night Shift won but we're not entirely convinced they weren't just scanning the game over and over
 PharaohBender27: 
 IanAllenBird: oh no
 Its_VeeBot: Ian
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Is Cori turning this into a Stream of Lies?
 Darleysam: welcome to can't draw blood club
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Ian maybe new watchband????
Mathwyn: It is very much generic kart racer with a painted on garfield skin
 Its_VeeBot: Tinker Tailor Garfield Fry
ghyllnox: Garfcart blood sport
 IanAllenBird: lmao
  Sarah_Serinde: 
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: I already have my blood.
 xantos69: 50 Blood Bits
 KaleidoscopeMind: fair
 SnackPak_: ooo, new blood
consolecowboy88: save that for a crapshot
 IanAllenBird: well some of my blood was stolen today so this sounds like a great deal
EvilBadman: It's my blood and I want it now
 NotCainNorAbel: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/CarefulObedientReindeerDansGame-5aVVz2lRf1EryC9b
 Thefluffiestguineapig: For legal reasons this is a joke
 Its_VeeBot: @A_Dub888 I don't entirely remember how many times we managed to get it checked out but it was definitely on the board for one of the top games checked out that year
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: You might be entitled to blood compensation!
 azureHaights: The blood of souls and the skin of teeth [smacks table]
 spethycakes: Call me Flannery O'Connor, because I have wise blood
Lysander_salamander: is the premise for the game sort of like for the Garfield ride?  Where he's having some sort of dream?
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/MotionlessDrabTildeMingLee-JB6sKyeqtmIVul9D
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/AffluentFineMinkKevinTurtle--INkoVZnyhmLucg5
 Its_VeeBot: But any time someone would ask us "What do you recommend?" The answer was always "Have you played Garfield Kart?"
 Williams4jesus: There could be a crap shoot about a vampires patreon and wanting blood
 IanAllenBird: @Lysander_salamander judging by the three second cutscene, it seems more like he's just watching a race on tv
 Dog_of_Myth: 
Lysander_salamander: well ok
 Its_VeeBot: And occasionally we'd need to have a backup "actual" recommendation because there wasn't enough copies in the library
 betweenmyself: this game’s original title was “Garfield Kart: First Blood Part 2” but it was determined to be too confusing
 Williams4jesus: @betweenmyself nice
 azureHaights: Garfield Kart 2: Abu Dhab On The Haters
Lysander_salamander: oh myyyyy
EvilBadman: Solo speed runners in Mario Kart World use the rewind to avoid Blues. The cowards.
Lysander_salamander: she's losing at losing
  Sarah_Serinde: 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Your self respect
 Williams4jesus: Garfcart 2: a game to lose
Mathwyn: Pay to get owned
 CaptainSpam: It's not pay-to-win, because there are no winners when you play Garfkart 2.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: You've already lost by purchasing the game
kusinohki: garf kart 2 - whoever wins, we lose
 Williams4jesus: A crap shot about "pay to lose"
 PharaohBender27: Now I'm imagining the cover art for this game being Garfield making the "L" hand gesture
 Sethalidos: Kathleen's writing a book?
  Sarah_Serinde: she is!
 Sethalidos: Ian!
 PharaohBender27: @Sethalidos Has been for a while now, in fact!
 Williams4jesus: @PharaohBender27 That would be great!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Williams4jesus That would give this game some personality I would appreciate
 SnackPak_: I hated that sentence
 Its_VeeBot: 100 fasts per fast
 Sheikun07: Garfield is over 40 years old, clearly Jon's doing something right
 PharaohBender27: Heather has a good point
JadedCynic: Heather with the galaxy brain
Lysander_salamander: they should have the pirate-ghosts from the Garfield Halloween in this
 Sheikun07: Jon would take Liz to see off-brand Rolling Stones
 Williams4jesus: Lasagna...the secret of eternal life?
 Scy_Anide: A friend of mine does have a cat with diabetes. He's big and orange and he likes...olive oil.
JadedCynic: I would make a full lasagna when I lived alone and yeah, I'd have leftovers 
 betweenmyself: @sheikun07 clearly Jon has made an infernal pact with some underworld entity
EvilBadman: Jon is 100% Eagles fan
JadedCynic: (the family recipe only worked in the full casserole dish)
Lysander_salamander: he seems like a Kraftwerk kind of guy
 SnackPak_: Jon's really into english electronic music
TotallyNotaBeholder: It's not a short cut, it's a scenic route
 Sheikun07: @SnackPak_ But only REALLY English electronic music.  Cheerio, pip pip, drop the beat, wot
 e_bloc: I always had jon as like a bad prog rock kinda guy
Lysander_salamander: What counts as bad prog rock?
 ContingentCat: Come to Brave New Favs every Sat for more bands that are real 
 Williams4jesus: @Lysander_salamander A question for the ages.
 PharaohBender27: @Lysander_salamander I feel like that might be a "you know it when you hear it" thing
 TehAmelie: it must be almost as hard to find bad prog as bad ska
Pal_Friendpatine: Isn’t Jon canonically into like  country banjo music? Or something? He’s from the farm
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Also real talk: cats are obligate carnivores built to consume only meat and literally cannot taste sweet things. They cannot digest excessive fats and carbs do nothing but cause issues because of how their bodies are built. This has been cat facts with your friendly neighborhood vet tech
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/InventiveBillowingDonkeyGrammarKing-ZTSUYIKokiofVWIs
 betweenmyself: Jon listens exclusively to Kidz Bop Volume 8
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
Toaster_Strooder: I feel like Jon just listens to whatever comes on the radio
 Williams4jesus: @Thefluffiestguineapig The more you know 
 NotCainNorAbel: jazz
JadedCynic: oh! one of THOSE fans....
radioshackraider: John canonically plays the Accordion and likes Polka. He's absolutely a massive Weird Al fan
Pal_Friendpatine: @thefluffiestguineapig so is our canned cat food actually properly balanced then?
 e_bloc: yeah Alanis reads
 Cptasparagus: i'm kind of sad they got Jeremy Allen White for the Springsteen biopic but he does look like him
Lysander_salamander: I think she listens to Genitorturers
 couchboyj: I see Jon as more of a Wayne Newton man
 Lord_Hosk: liz is into bjork
 e_bloc: i don't know that anyone in the garfieldverse is a parrothead
consolecowboy88: Jon listens to industrial electronics
 PharaohBender27: 
Mathwyn: Jon likes all the music you think is lame
 eshplode: Great album!
 Williams4jesus: Industrial electric?
Lysander_salamander: Liz bangs exclusively to B52s
 TehAmelie: new headcanon: Jon makes Garf 100% meat lasagna with faux pasta made of bonemeal or something
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Williams4jesus Yup! The reason they seem to enjoy milk/ice cream is they can taste fat/umami for finding good meat. They have extremely limited taste buds
Toaster_Strooder: Whatever it is Jon likes, Garfield probably hates - so what music would Garfield hate?
 e_bloc: @TehAmelie this is a cursed sentence
 Williams4jesus: Accordian?
 ContingentCat: I see Jon as a big Coldplay fan

Lysander_salamander: Odie loves Weird Al
 e_bloc: dignity
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie I've met cat owners who would do this for their cats birthday and think they have opinions on the fake pasta's texture
 betweenmyself: Jon’s “bedroom soundtrack” is comprised entirely of Luther Vandross *covers*, because the original artist is too edgy for Jon to handle
Toaster_Strooder: @radioshackraider By my logic, that means Garfield hates Weird Al… Mayhaps my logic is flawed.
 SnackPak_: this Beej lore is wild
 e_bloc: that was to win a bet
ghyllnox: But if he had drunk a glass of dog semen without knowing it, how would you know?
trainercatlady: who needs silksong when you have the best, hottest new release: Garfield Kart 2!
 Williams4jesus: Is Beej just Jon from another life?
 e_bloc: thats garfield kart, baby
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @ghyllnox He would somehow be able to identify it afterwards
consolecowboy88: 🎵is this love that garf’s feeling?🎵
 e_bloc: @Williams4jesus is Beej part of the Garfieldverse, or is Garfield part of the Beejverse
 Williams4jesus: @e_bloc Why not both?
Mathwyn: @e_bloc Trick question. They are both part of the subwayverse
JadedCynic: @Williams4jesus Beej is the Jon Arbuckle that never got a cat, and got into anime in college
 betweenmyself: Beej is indifferent toward Mondays
 TehAmelie: we have established everyone is potentially Beej
 e_bloc:   
 AtomicAlchemical: I think Jon has canonically danced to disco, so that seems like it informs his tastes at all
 ContingentCat: !lovebeej
  LRRbot: Chat loves Beej and I love Beej 
consolecowboy88: beej has been Garfield The Whole time
Mathwyn: Last Garf standing wins
trainercatlady: like sam reich but with pasta
JadedCynic: @AtomicAlchemical YES!  IIRC Jon is a Barry Manilow fan (like even today)
 Williams4jesus: A series of crap shots of Beej as garfield.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: That's a quote
Toaster_Strooder: I wouldn’t want an airbag directly to the anything
 betweenmyself: to be fair, draping your leg out the window is the most comfortable way to commute
 Thefluffiestguineapig: There's a difference between the snip and "airbag to the nards" Ian
 NotCainNorAbel: @Thefluffiestguineapig either way you will want some cold packs for the next day or so
Toaster_Strooder: airbags are not a certified tool for vasectomies
 Williams4jesus: !findquote airbag
  LRRbot: Quote #3325: "I like balloons! They're like an airbag!" —Ian [2016-08-29]
Mathwyn: Filling my car with balloons brb
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @NotCainNorAbel Only a day for an airbag to the nards? I've been told taking an airbag to the chest sometimes results in broken ribs
 Williams4jesus: @Mathwyn Let us know how that works out for you.
 betweenmyself: @thefluffiestguineapig I used to be an adventurer like you, til I took an airbag to the nards.
TheAinMAP: 
 NotCainNorAbel: @Thefluffiestguineapig No idea how long and I'm not going to find out.  I'm wondering if the Jackass crew ever did an airbag to the nards.
 betweenmyself: @notcainnorabel fairly sure they launched someone into the air with an airbag once 
toturi91: this is a blast
 Williams4jesus: Could lasagna be an airbag itself?
consolecowboy88: how is that tumbleweed not a meatball
TheAinMAP:  
Mathwyn: @williams4jesus brb filling my car with lasanga
 Kramburger: This game can be played on a device designed to play similar games
 Williams4jesus: @Mathwyn  
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Jon in that hat looks a little like Woody from Toy story
 PharaohBender27: @Williams4jesus "Well, he died in an automobile accident. He got in an accident and then suffocated in a mass of pasta sheets, tomato sauce, and ricotta cheese
kusinohki: so I know the hat rims are waving in the wind, but they really look like they're rotating around the character head....
 betweenmyself: @notcainnorabel “Musical Chair Bags” from Jackass Forever is about as close as it gets, methinks: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A16ND90rT2Q
Mathwyn: @pharaohbender27 his last words? "Bury me with my pasta"
 Dog_of_Myth: 
jwholla: this is the greatest racing game of all time
 Thefluffiestguineapig: This game feels like they almost tried some interesting things, with the different possible routes and all kinds of weird things that are almost there but then so much got sand blasted off
TheAinMAP:  
Pal_Friendpatine: They are soooo non-native though
Pal_Friendpatine: But tumbleweeds are edible when they are young shoots
 Kramburger: Das Garfield, he is not very industrious
jwholla: I didn’t know Garfield had this many characters
Toaster_Strooder: !findquote lasagna
 PharaohBender27: And now I wonder how "kart" as in here and and Mariokart is written in German, specifically which definitive article is used
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/AmorphousBlazingTarsierTriHard-FYXeJfCbjnRwwXBu
jwholla: this really is legally distinct Mario kart
 betweenmyself: of this game had an adventure mode in the vein of Diddy Kong Racing, would the final boss be the physical manifestation of Mondays? 
consolecowboy88: @betweenmyself yes
 Williams4jesus: I loved Diddy Kong racing!
WriterRaven: IAN.
Mathwyn: @betweenmyself Ozy-monday-as
 Dalrint: @betweenmyself The final boss should be Odie. I don't care that he's also a character.
Toaster_Strooder: @betweenmyself Garfield races time itself to escape the concept of Monday
 NotCainNorAbel: 
consolecowboy88: although that sounds more existential than diddy kong
 betweenmyself: @mathwyn that is very strong
 e_bloc: come for the garf kart, stay for the garf lore
Spinballwizard: Not everyone can be Doc Boy
 ContingentCat: Supposedly
 Dalrint: Is Lyman in this?
 AtomicAlchemical: wait, is *that* why the other half of Garfield and Friends was on a farm?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Whenever Kathleen is on a stream there is often sudden lore drops of some kind
 Kramburger: John Arbuckle's cartoon was probably like modern 9 Chickweed Lane
 e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig I'm starting to connect the dots
 PharaohBender27: 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh no, I love it
  Sarah_Serinde: hard disagree
 Kramburger: Insufferable (affectionate)
Toaster_Strooder: Kathleen is insufferable sounds like a lore Red Herring
 spethycakes: I want CathyKart
 ContingentCat:  
consolecowboy88: i want bloom county racing
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I also do random lore drops IRL and people find me to be obnoxious about it
consolecowboy88: and far side racing
 Kramburger: Far Side racing would be AMAZING
 e_bloc: I'm not certain my 5 year old knows who garfield is
 PharaohBender27: @Kramburger "I choose cow tools!
 SymphonySolstice: @consolecowboy88 that would go so hard tbh
 Kramburger: @PharaohBender27 NO fair! I wanted cow tools!
Mathwyn: Now I want a qwerpline but about someone painting racoons like Garfield, and that they should stop before the city gets sued
 PharaohBender27: Dang I keep forgetting to type closing quotes
 AtomicAlchemical: Is Jon Arbuckle the sort of man who could have written Heathcliff?
 NotCainNorAbel: I think it is the parent's requirement to not understand the job of their kids.
 Kramburger: God QWRPline racer would be INCREDIBLE. Who wants to take a hovercraft across the chumble floodplains?
 Dog_of_Myth: @PharaohBender27 Fine, I'll choose the Thagomizer
consolecowboy88: like cow tools car and thag Simmons (I can’t remember a lot of far side details)
 zimmercj: If you are an animation fan, both Garfield TV series are surprisingly solid.
 TehAmelie: random Garf lore: canonically Garfield is trapped in an abandoned building and has been imagining everything happening in the strip since a plotline in the 1990s
consolecowboy88: @dog_of_myth that’s what I was thinking of
kusinohki: random thought - how come there isn't a wacky racers video game??
 betweenmyself: as long as we’re focused on comic strips, let’s hit the lunatic fringe with a Mary Worth Kart Racer
 PharaohBender27: I've managed to kind of explain Desert Bus to my parents, but I've never tried to explain any of my other Twitch activity to them
 Kramburger: @kusinohki It probably does exist and there's probably a good reason why you've never heard of it
kusinohki: prince valiant horse racing
 Dalrint: @betweenmyself The whole game is Mary, sitting in the stands, gossiping about each driver.
 betweenmyself: @kusinohki if memory serves there is a side scrolling platformer where you play as Muttley
 Williams4jesus: The latest craze to hit Nsburg "garfcart"  raccoons painted like Garfield and running the streets or the jewelsburg oval
consolecowboy88: @betweenmyself what car would that incel glasses dude havs
 spethycakes: I made a powerpoint for my therapist to explain Twitch and Discord
 ThirtyCubicFeetOfSalsa: @kusinohki hannah-barberra can't make one for the price of a ham sandwich and the lint in their pocket
  Sarah_Serinde: My mom understands enough about Twitch to go to Desert Bus when I have an auction happening, even if she doesn't really know how chat works 
 Kramburger: John tops Garfield and Odie Send Tweet
WriterRaven: Um.
JadedCynic: @betweenmyself We already had that - didn't they make a Ctrl+Alt+Del kart racer? 
consolecowboy88: haw
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Sarah_Serinde That's amazing of her
 Wicker_Guide: @JadedCynic But what about Bloom County Kart Racer?
 Dalrint: @JadedCynic They were going to but it got kind of dramatic every time someone suffered a loss
 Kramburger: @Dalrint BOOOOO
consolecowboy88: @dalrint 😎🤙
consolecowboy88: ayyy
JadedCynic: @Dalrint "I like this one; they get it"  
  Sarah_Serinde: proud of you Kathleen

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, tyrsredritehand! (Today's storm count: 40)
 Dalrint: 
 ContingentCat: We're proud of you Kathleen
consolecowboy88: great job Kathleen
JadedCynic: @Kramburger Readers added more context they thought more people should know "the character is Jon Arbuckle"
Mathwyn: Unfortunately Jon being a loser is hardcoded into the game
 betweenmyself: a Pearls Before Swine kart racer would hit different though
JadedCynic: "and the police can find him at <address>"
consolecowboy88: get fuzzy kart racer!
 NotCainNorAbel: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/VainAgitatedHawkPunchTrees-0-cXNHg-jn421MVN
 Kramburger: I want an official Calvin & Hobbes racer: it'd be available for free, you can't play as any established characters from the strip, but all the levels are like calvin's daydreams
maybe_games: it somewhat also exists in MK
 Williams4jesus: I will never look at bones the same way again.
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 zimmercj: @betweenmyself Hägar the Horrible with actual carts would be an interesting concept
 SnackPak_: evolution
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Kramburger The spaceman spiff levels would be wild, but Bill Waterson has said he will not license anything
Lysander_salamander: is that a ghostbuster car butt?
  Sarah_Serinde: mating dances
 NotCainNorAbel: 500
JadedCynic: dang, the devs lost ALL their cache with one dumb move
 betweenmyself: we just got a time travelling Deloreon backend 
consolecowboy88: hell yeah

 DeM0nFiRe: o/ 
 TehAmelie: i'd be remiss if i didn't share this classic Garf https://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=2810
 TehAmelie: through the 1990s the comic went on whimsical adventures, but since then it's gradually simplified, gotten rid of storylines, characters, settings, just as if Garfield's imagination was thinning. . .
 PharaohBender27: @TehAmelie People have found ingenious ways to remix Garfield, haven't they?
 TehAmelie: plenty. but those strips are just how they appeared in papers
 PharaohBender27: @TehAmelie [Head exploding emoji]
 TehAmelie: welp. it's 4 in the morning, time to drop unconscious for several hours and hallucinate vividly
