TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig exactly
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 You want Bison in every game? Here ya go!!
30teracyte: yeah heavy scissors is -4
Prop_PT: we couldve had him take over Vega like Liquid Ocelot and unify the naming convention
saucemaster5000: Vegson
TXC2: Prop_PT oooh that's interesting
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or M Vega?
Prop_PT: *tyips Fedora* M'Vega
saucemaster5000: What does the M stand for anyway? Marcus?
AceGun_: @Prop_PT in the story, he says that he does not have a name and doesn't care if he is called Bison, Vega, Dictator, or Shadaloo.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Prop_PT You knew exactly what joke I was going for
TXC2: Vega with Psycho power would be TERRIFYING
Prop_PT: @saucemaster5000 I mean... Mike
AceGun_: @saucemaster5000 unfortunately, the "M" stands for "Master".
TXC2: saucemaster5000 when it's Dictator it's Master, when it's boxer it's Mike
saucemaster5000: So he's a Master B. er
TXC2: saucemaster5000 well they gotta get DNA for the clones from somewhere KAppa
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Must resist the urge to explain
BrowneePointz: Yea I'm late to the convo but his name is Mike Bison cuz he was supposed to be Balrog, but they swapped it for the English release out of fear of mike tyson lawsuit
BrowneePointz: ope, he might've meant to be Vega. anyways yea Vega Balrog and Bison all got swapped in the US release cuz of fear of localization lawsuits from Tyson
30teracyte: charged light knuckle should combo into regular medium knuckle
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also being on a horse rearing that high is one of the hardest things to stay on for, the risk of the horse tipping over on top of you is immense
30teracyte: also PC 5HP should get you charged medium knuckle
Jturbobanana: Thanks for the stream! Y'all are great! It's amazing seeing this progression!

Mollylele: i'm blaming all my problems on misaligned electrons from now on
TheAinMAP: Hello.
RockPusher: The electrons get cranky 'cause they were just sitting there in some sand and now we are trying to make them think
LordZarano: I got to be the first to enter that spambot's URL into VirusTotal, so that's neat
gualdhar: S E X
accountmadeforants: @RockPusher Trying to make them think about stupid math, at that. What if they want to dream about other, sexy electrons.
Mollylele: 26 million concurrent users in the sǝx meta

Thefluffiestguineapig: No idea, I am also an old
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat I believe they do, there are whole separate games of it now, and I think CoD also made it a mode at some point?
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Not yoots, but young adults play prop hunt CoD maps
RockPusher: TheMerricat I have some bad news about the average age of chat…
TheMerricat:
chat.
RockPusher: how many layers of post-irony are you on my frood?
SocraticMethod: @RockPusher like five or six
accountmadeforants: (That one's like four or five years old per my "forum weapons" directory)
TheMerricat: Question though... do people actually _trust_ Roblox selfreported numbers?

LRRbot: Barcode!
SocraticMethod: Isn't "Moody Indie game about Depression(tm)" pretty popular genre?

LordZarano: "All my makeup, all my lights All my photoshoots in tights All my pretentions, all my intentions All my glitzy opening nights ... Will never get as many hits as 'Kitten Waking Up'" - YouTube Lament - Tim Minchin
RandomTrivia:
Hi friends! 
ButButTheJesus: @RandomTrivia huddo
TXC2: hello RandomTrivia welcome
RockPusher:
LordZarano but have you seen Kitten Waking Up? They are adorable! You can't compete with that! 
CaptainSpam: That kitten wakes up SO well! It's a pro at it!
RockPusher: look, a feel-good story about a populous overthrowing their corrupt government and democratically replacing them is a perfectly cromulent video game story
LordZarano: The icon is literally a game controller
TXC2: take notes America
Laserbeaks_Fury: well, if you're organizing a bunch of people who are dissatisfied with the status of things, Discord is an appropriately named tool
accountmadeforants: I reckon the people who overthrew the government get to decide what's legal
TXC2: the protest wasn't violent UNTIL social media got banned
TheMerricat: so the real question is - how important were the results to certain organizations in the US and so how likely are they to have been 'nudged' to be the 'proper' answer.
RockPusher: How dare the youth claim the emperor has no clothes!
RubikDarkwill: The ToS applies to all servers
gualdhar: time to go back to Mumble and site forums
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's what Mastadon does, but somehow it caught on with Discord
RockPusher:
Thefluffiestguineapig: The bar is VERY LOW
bytecaster: Well, most things win when compared to Twitter
RockPusher:
A great many things that are unpleasant are better than Twitter 
adept_nekomancer: That is a problem, yeah. If only there was a public forum where those questions were answered, I could search them when I need an answer to a similar problem
Coloneljesus: @Laserbeaks_Fury everyone can create a discord server with 3 clicks and for free. not so for mastodon
TXC2:
just give me something that isn't a closed shop like discord is
LordZarano:
Really people should be setting up Matrix servers for their revolutionary movements 
SocraticMethod: Also, I wish people stopped using discord (as well as wikia) as file hosting since the links die in 24h
HorusFive: Perhaps it's allowing the public to have a free forum to express themselves which is good- and not the platform
TheMerricat: See also: using the site formerly known as Twitter as an official means of communicating with your citizens....
Thefluffiestguineapig: Welp, then I'm terrible'
TXC2: HorusFive a place to speak truth to power perchance
accountmadeforants: Anything which uses Discord as its sole support forum instantly loses my support (open source/free projects get a bit of a pass, because it literally is just free hosting so I get it, but I still don't like it)
TheMerricat: telegram. tor. whatsapp
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants For me the thing is this seems to be the last place they have left
Akaiatana: Signal is encrypted, to my knowledge
TXC2: FBI WILL track you down, even with the dumbass in charge

accountmadeforants: @Thefluffiestguineapig Specifically businesses which actually make money. A business can afford hosting their own forums, like they'd been doing for ages pre-Discord.
CaptainSpam: Sects in the City!
Thefluffiestguineapig: A friend from a country which shall not be specified will not use discord for anything but gaming because a very large non-US government will absolutely find them if they do
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants OH absolutely yes then
Thefluffiestguineapig: This story made me cackle
RockPusher: Do you want to "Xenoblade" *waggles eyebrows*
Laserbeaks_Fury: Like sands through an hourglass
accountmadeforants: Wanna blade my xeno
Thefluffiestguineapig: Famously single player game Xenoblade
accountmadeforants: Maybe they asked someone yea
Thefluffiestguineapig: My kid has a switch, flip through the game cartriges
LurkerSpine: Eh I wouldn't be surprised if the writer put in xenoblade, lot of young TV writers start out on soaps
Thefluffiestguineapig: That sounds accurate
adept_nekomancer: "Hey random kid in marketing, what a current video game?"
Laserbeaks_Fury: So, is the context he was trying to hook up, or was he just being like "wanna play this game with me?"
accountmadeforants: A joke with layers
TXC2: I wonder if they wantted to say something like Mario or FF and the lawyers said no
incslayer: xenoblade and cuddle?
Thefluffiestguineapig: We don't even have a set beyond that room
TXC2: Laserbeaks_Fury I assume the former, like asking someone to come in for "coffee"
adept_nekomancer: @incslayer Or add a second unusual cultural reference to it -- "Xenoblade and Xena"
accountmadeforants: Also even if it isn't obviously stupid because it's singleplayer, "Xenoblade" sounds weird enough that it conveys the same idea.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Because I would absolutely invite a girl to my room to play a video game and literally just mean to play a video game
Invitare: Xenoblade has several television actors as VAs. Including Jenna Coleman, who was a companion of Doctor Who, and more recently played Constantine in the Sandman
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury I literally invited someone to play MtG once
Laserbeaks_Fury: Stella Blade
Laserbeaks_Fury: *Stellar
adept_nekomancer: Wait, weed is available for the Switch now?
TXC2:
funny story, weed is what I thought "netflix and chill" meant
Laserbeaks_Fury: Even Stardew Valley would work
DiscordianTokkan: "He wanted to show me hus Shulk"
TheWooglie: Silksong
LurkerSpine: Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade are all related
Invitare: Xenosaga, npot gears
SquareDotCube: One of their parents played Xenogears, that's how it happens
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@TheWooglie Yes, famously full of death cozy game Silksong 
accountmadeforants: @LurkerSpine Can't wait for Xenoblade Vs. Aliens
Laserbeaks_Fury: "You know that new sound nobody was looking for? Well listen to this!"
RockPusher: The idea is funny, the real-world impact of the execution is a moral hazard
LurkerSpine: @accountmadeforants wouldn't it be Xenoblade vs Predator?
TheMerricat: This is actually just a reverse "They Live" scenario then. The villagers think they are saying one thing to the player but...
LurkerSpine: good old Lewis Black
CaptainSpam: I mean, a lesser version of this would be what's used in Hylics, where most of the dialogue is intentionally procedurally-generated nonsense. Not LLM, mind, just nonsense.
RubikDarkwill: They were were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should
TheMerricat: Skyrim has had this particular deal for while now. There are a number of mods that let you add an LLM that generates dialog based on the stored information it has on the NPC's personality and history with the player.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Right, this is what I was expecting here. What it turned out to be was absolutely a nightmare scape
Laserbeaks_Fury: It would suck if the game internalized people's feeling about characters
TXC2: and games have bloated file sizes already, I dread to think what this would do to them
Laserbeaks_Fury: As someone who talks to an NPC until they repeat themselves. Oh god, that is my nightmare.
TheMerricat: I don't know about the Animal Crossing deal but I know most of the mods for Skyrim that use LLM either are set up to hook into a ChatGPT-like pay service or you have a secondary computer running a local LLM that feeds it.
Laserbeaks_Fury: For god sakes, put a Korok in there
GhosteEye: The possibility for more immersive conversation with NPC's (exclusively within the context of the game) is kind of a fascinating prospect though.
adept_nekomancer: A whole system designed to generate a bunch of random dialog? Not us. Nope. We try to be helpful on occasion though.
Coloneljesus: I like authored things
SocraticMethod: So like Dwarf Fortress?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Coloneljesus Same
LordZarano: If you co into a cave in France you might find some of the oldest known cave paintings
EvilBadman: I don't need dialog when I have 🎶 Fari Do La Si Manett
LordZarano: *go
GhosteEye: Like, random dialog no, but imagine if an NPC could answer specific lore questions, and didn't need to be programmed with static question/answer sets.
Bruceski: A while back I saw an FMV game that decided whodunnit randomly at the start of every game and changed as little as possible to lead to that ending. It just felt weak.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I already can't finish Skyrim because I try to do *all* the things all at once. IF the game changes everytime, I'm screwed
Thefluffiestguineapig: Same Beej
RandomTrivia:
GhosteEye:
TXC2: I've gotten that every time I've played Fallout new vegas, always found something new
RockPusher:

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!)
RandomTrivia: *writes down "Challenge Beej to tell the washing machine story" on my Desert Bus to do list
TheMerricat:
So new story time for DB. 
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@RandomTrivia
Thefluffiestguineapig: As an autistic, I very much feel the "well I have extensive dialogue options" thing
Laserbeaks_Fury: It is one step closer to Ready Player One where mega game services just generate themselves
Bruceski: Ability to lock or unlock the village
Thefluffiestguineapig: Good for them
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Bruceski For me this would help, because being able to lock it before say a really stressful semester would make me much more likely to come back to it
ANeMzero: Localthunk: enough making balatro time to play balatro
adept_nekomancer: It's okay to make only some of the money and not all of it, especially for the sake of your sanity.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ANeMzero Or maybe seeing their families
Thefluffiestguineapig: Maybe seeing the Silksong news might inspire more people
Laserbeaks_Fury: But I am glad we have success stories like Team Cherry to show it *is8 possible
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury And to make a better game because of it and people won't hate you
Coloneljesus: I wanna play as Sherma
SocraticMethod: Silksong is a incredibly rare corner case cause Team Cherry got a incredible nest egg from HK
LilyOfTheVeil666: ^
Laserbeaks_Fury: IT doesn't need to be rare
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod For me prioritizing their own health rather than just pushing and pushing and pushing is the thing. There is so much pressure
Laserbeaks_Fury: If the next Clair Obscur takes 7 years, I'm fine with that
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury ^^^^^^Team Cherry can help shift the culture
SocraticMethod: Very few devs are in position of Team Cherry and localthunk. At some point the money runs out and they have to roll a dice whether they'll succeed. See: Hollow Knight
LurkerSpine: I dunno, that Schreier interview made me suspect of Team Cherry. If you're that oblivious to things, there are some issues
RandomTrivia: Tears of the Kingdom was another one that was pushed back so many times and was absolutely worth the wait, and presumably because Nintendo were happy to throw money at it.
LurkerSpine: and I feel bad for whoever got stuck with getting the console certs for Silksong
RandomTrivia: The examples are there but they all have the common thread that they had money behind them
SocraticMethod: @Laserbeaks_Fury As soon as there is UBI, maube then.
TXC2:
the issue isn't that indies can't do this, the issue is Triple A's could work like this, but don't, because of greed
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury If they just want to release individual custom sounds on their website they are proud of while they plug away, go for it
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Because fuck the C suite
TXC2: YES HEATHER YES!
RandomTrivia: PREACH
Thefluffiestguineapig: Just take it from the billionaires, they genuinely wouldn't notice
RandomTrivia: As ever, the studies show that giving people security makes them *more* productive, and creates better art
TXC2: UBI CREATES employment
LordZarano: I wonder how Terry Cavanagh and Lucas Pope are doing these days, as some of the previous "breakout indie game" class
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RandomTrivia And giving them health care and basic dignity makes them treat others better
accountmadeforants: Joakim Sandberg: "I'm going to spend 10 years making literally every part of Iconoclasts, including music and marketing, without any money"
niccus: Hofstadter's law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's law
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Giving people housing makes them keep jobs
Coloneljesus: explains maybe the bed of grandpa
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig exactly
Thefluffiestguineapig: If you agree with Heather, feel free to come hang out on Tiltyhouse this evening for Yakuza, crows and socialism with Ian!
SocraticMethod: @LordZarano He got deeply into Playdate, living his best life
Thefluffiestguineapig: We talk alot about the benefits of Universal Basic Income
SquareDotCube: I do miss Wild Hair Beej of 2020-2021
SocraticMethod: @SocraticMethod Lucas Pope, I mean
QuixoticScrivener: Beej, quit gloating, I need to focus.
ratbabyonline: im a lesbian but beej is right about ansem mount
RockPusher:
Captain Pike's hair is the best character!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline He's a tall drink of water for sure
ratbabyonline: mafia 3 was fine, i dont think i finished it but not because it was bad
TXC2: right chat I'm off
Thefluffiestguineapig: See the interview for the VA of the guy who played the person in Elden Ring who you can bring along to help with the dragon Bale
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Sleep well!
SquareDotCube: All I remember about Mafia 3 was the Jimquisition that was mostly the protagonist running from behind and slamming people's heads into the pavement
RockPusher: 'night TXC2
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather, Paul and Beej
Laserbeaks_Fury: It doubly sucks when the character uses your likeness
accountmadeforants: @Thefluffiestguineapig My country's outgoing government recently announced that they'd maintain tax discounts on gasoline for the next year (we basically set/announce the country's budget once a year, so even if they'll be gone in a few weeks they still got to make that call), at tremendous cost, claiming it helps the lower classes. I suddenly felt very strongly about UBI.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Normally they should use your reel for casting
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants Yeah, love that kind of stuff. I'm really sorry, genuinely if you want to kvetch Tiltychat is a great place for it
gualdhar: I call it the "Jar-Jar Binks Effect"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @gualdhar It took YEARS for that damage to even be lessened
SquareDotCube: "Man, I shoulda taken the Elias Toufexis route"
ratbabyonline: not to be confused with alex hernandez the mma fighter or alex hernandez the serial killer
Thefluffiestguineapig: A casting director once talked about listening to reels with no names and only numbering them so he didn't get name blinded
Thefluffiestguineapig: Which is very smart
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline The first one probably not so bad, second one would be highly improbable
ratbabyonline: @Thefluffiestguineapig they are however dominating the SEO for alex hernandez
DiscordianTokkan: If they don't they SHOULD
Laserbeaks_Fury: Or at leats there should be Razzie for it
Bruceski: The "at least somebody was trying" award
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline Probably some kind of true crime documentary is my guess?
saucemaster5000: unbfortunately the razzies are genuinely a mean spirited organization
RockPusher: We've all seen movies and TV where someone is doing better work than the rest of the production deserves
saucemaster5000: they only make up new razzie awards tospecifically make MORE fun of people, they are not a nice thing
Tiber727: They've kinda done that. Like Alan Rickman I think won an award for Robin Hood, a terrible movie.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Like one actor having fun chewing the scenery and knowing exactly what they are in making the rest of the movie fun
SquareDotCube: Or find a better agent
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Because it's *dull* and it would HURT MORE"
TheMerricat:
Assign him to the next David Cage game.
ratbabyonline: if youre cursed to doom every movie youre in get roles in all the movies using genAI
Thefluffiestguineapig: How can he get in the next game to take down Bungie?
Bruceski: @Thefluffiestguineapig The Raul Julia memorial award.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline YES
Coloneljesus: YES HEATHER
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Bruceski Precisely, or the movie from the 2024 subathon

ratbabyonline: my brain insists its a kings quest spinoff but i dont think thats true
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Tiber727 Christopher Lee in I forget what the movie was called from that subathon
Laserbeaks_Fury: The one with the smooth brain
CaptainSpam: I don't think Simon the Sorceror was a Lucasarts game, but it was definitely designed to look like one.
SocraticMethod: StS was Adventure Soft game
ratbabyonline: aarnold arnold arnold rimmer, much handsomer than rule brinner
Laserbeaks_Fury: hey, I liked Brittas Empire
RockPusher: Brittas Empire fame
Thefluffiestguineapig: Brother I'm going to crumble to dust, StS is from 93????? With Rick Astle music????
ratbabyonline: adventure soft is uk based
bytecaster: I remember playing that game and not making much progress as a wee lad
RandomTrivia: It's a bit Tim the Enchanter
bytecaster: Oh, the new art is cute
RandomTrivia: oh no it's adorable
ratbabyonline: oh this looks good
ratbabyonline: i didnt expect it to look good
SquareDotCube: More like Amiga for the time.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @bytecaster The number of walkthroughs will probably have many people saying "Oh I couldn't do this at all as a kid, let's see how I do as an adult"
ratbabyonline: i'd say it looks like an indie game
RockPusher: It still amuses me that Acorn, of all microcomputer companies, has inarguably "Won" the modern market
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Because it didn't die?
Laserbeaks_Fury: I remember they would use Chris Barrie for Red Dwarf audio books because he could do spot on impressions of all the characters
ratbabyonline: theyre racing FEET?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury The number of impressionists who go into VA is apparently way more than people think
ratbabyonline: my best friend was captain of the uvic rowing team for a while
TheMerricat: The Crew was brought down by a combo of issues. 1. It was online required despite having a single player component. 2. The licensing for the soundtrack expired.
RockPusher: Thefluffiestguineapig the ARM chipset is theirs and runs a very large proportion of compters on the planet now
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Really? TIL
ANeMzero: ARM stands for Acorn Risc Machine, which is... descriptive.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Part 2 is the Alan Wake effect
accountmadeforants: Just like Forged Alliance Forever replacing GPGNet
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sailing the seas?
Thefluffiestguineapig:
TheMerricat: @accountmadeforants Which reminds me - for chat. Anyone who used FAF in the past and wants to be able to continue to do so, should probably drop in and read it's news posts recently. The future of the project is not assured any more and they are under attack by hackers. They need help.
accountmadeforants: Time to start offering a support contract for $10,000 per seat per year
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Oh hell, good shout, I haven't played in a while so I'll look into it
Thefluffiestguineapig: You need to understand this is not something guaranteed, just like you needing to wait a second for someone to get something at a Starbucks is not an utter travesty

Thefluffiestguineapig: @LurkerSpine Also all switch models have ALL gone up in price
Thefluffiestguineapig: Not just new ones
Coloneljesus: @ratbabyonline before that, there was a EU-only increase for the PS5
ratbabyonline: oh interesting
RandomTrivia: That usually translates to "something happened that the population *thinks* is bad and we're using that as an excuse to raise prices"
EvilBadman: @RandomTrivia there's a pretty obvious reason
Coloneljesus: $
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RandomTrivia As opposed to what is happening currently that I am not going to discuss
RandomTrivia: @EvilBadman Yeah, sometimes the reason is actually a real reason
Laserbeaks_Fury: Honestly, that wouldn't suprise me\
Thefluffiestguineapig: That wouldn't surprise me either
Laserbeaks_Fury: That or the OS bloated
RandomTrivia: @RandomTrivia But often (see the pandemic and knock-on effects) they don't actually affect manufacturing costs
EvilBadman: @RandomTrivia Welcome to living in unprecedented times.
Coloneljesus: clock speed maybe but they mostly turn cores off
TheMerricat: These are ssds, it could easily be bad chips
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury Either of those two reasons wouldn't surprise me. They aren't taking the time to do more optimization so just saying "fuck it" and putting it all on there
SocraticMethod: 12 channel，512Gib Nand Chip / channel 512 x 12 = 6,144 Gib = 768 GiB = 824.633720832 GB = 825GB
Thefluffiestguineapig: No all these prices are Canada and US
Thefluffiestguineapig: Because fuck everyone!

TheAwkes: 1024 (as a power of 2) instead of 1000.
Coloneljesus: Kilo = 1000, Kibi = 1024
Thefluffiestguineapig: Things I'm learning, didn't know there was basically a metric prefix for that
accountmadeforants: Gibibytes is the SI unit for binary multiples approaching kilo/mega/etc. units
ratbabyonline: i refuse to put my prices in american dollars for art commissions even though most of my clients are american. I do frequently say what it is in US though to stress theyre getting a great deal
Coloneljesus: aka. 2^10
Tiber727: Ghibli bites, the Studio Ghibli short film collection.
niccus: addressing is built around powers of 2, but human math is built around powers of 10
TheMerricat: "A gibibyte (GiB) is a unit of digital information storage representing 2^30 bytes, or 1,073,741,824 bytes. It is the binary-based equivalent of a gigabyte (GB), which is a decimal-based unit representing 10^9 bytes or 1,000,000,000 byte"
gualdhar: damn you metric system! *shakes fist*
accountmadeforants: Giga (and mega and kilo and ...) is also an existing SI prefix, so SI added a different kind of prefix for the other kind of almost-Giga-but-power-of-2.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @gualdhar As someone who sometimes has medications that refuse to shift to using kg and insist on imperial units, trust me, this is better
Bruceski: Is this the power of Blast Processing?
ratbabyonline: wouldnt it be faster for sonic to get out and run
Thefluffiestguineapig: Then I'm a nerd
Juliamon: ratbabyonline yes, that's why he's in the car, to give everyone else a chance
SocraticMethod: @ratbabyonline Yeah, but he likes the competition
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline This argument is one I make all the time
ANeMzero: I look forward to Ian playing Sonic Crossroads on Friday Night Yakuza, as Kiryu is playable so it is a Yakuza.
ratbabyonline: im glad that question got multiple passionate responses
Juliamon: think of Sonic as that horse that just liked to race
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ANeMzero We would need to figure out where it sits in the timeline
ratbabyonline: roadquest but its all camper vans, ian gets a kei camper
ANeMzero: @Thefluffiestguineapig Obviously it was all just a dream like Ishin, Kenzan and OF THE END / Dead Souls.
ratbabyonline: hey did the audio just disappear for anyone else
Laserbeaks_Fury: nope
ratbabyonline: oop its a me problem
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline Welcome to LRRchat, where often someone cares a huge amount about just about everything but we insist on being polite about it
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig To be fair, that is a question often ask'd and often answer'd
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod Oh for sure, but during Oki this week we had multiple conversations about SF lore
Thefluffiestguineapig: And that stuff's nonsense, coming from a Marvel comics nonsense person
LordZarano: Crab Tale's "Give the crab a GUN" option
Jedi_Master_Zell: Yeah, there's multiple "how much damage you take" mods already.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano They played that crab 4 player game on CTS a while ago and I believe you could get a cannon
LordZarano: *Another Crab's Treasure
Laserbeaks_Fury: South of Midnight had an option where you could just skip a fight encounter
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury There's also a story emphasis option I believe where you still get to hear the songs and things
niccus: i think it comes up more in the context of permadeath in tactical games?
Geldaran: several Final Fantasy games have had an auto rez item or pre-rez spell that triggers on death.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Light the Point Signal!
Thefluffiestguineapig: With the main quest? That's kind of genius in terms of testing for bugs and things
vinewood_og: Or you could just not play it at all!
Thefluffiestguineapig: If you have proof of purchase will they give you a game key?
LurkerSpine: Battle State Games
Thefluffiestguineapig: Right
LurkerSpine: that'd be millions of codes though
LurkerSpine: and I think Steam would restrict that
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or let you login to your new steam copy
SocraticMethod: Tarkov was sold in EA for the price of 50-150$, so it's not a small investment to buy again
SocraticMethod: @LurkerSpine Steam are pretty cool as long as you can prove that you are not reselling them
Thefluffiestguineapig: Well at least there's that
vinewood_og: Still nope
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't play this game but watching Serge and James play this just seems like a massive headache
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is it cross platform?
EvilBadman: Presumably the other account you need has a freindslist as well
Thefluffiestguineapig: Presumably "moderately negative"
tsp397: I think Steam users have already been having some fun with the tags
Thefluffiestguineapig: This game is SO GOOD
Astramentha: robits
accountmadeforants: Checking by language has been a thing for a while already, I think, I keep having to tell Steam to show me English reviews instead of just ones in my own language
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants It does it automatically now
Laserbeaks_Fury: Oh, so it's *not* a Genetic Opera game...
Thefluffiestguineapig: They finally changed it???? THANK GODS
EvilBadman: You can respawn them
Thefluffiestguineapig: YES
Thefluffiestguineapig: No not safe at all
SocraticMethod: Tarkov is a Russian BSG HQ is in St. Petersburg even if the corp is registered in London
accountmadeforants: Oh hell, I kept seeing the old cover art and thinking it was some garbage from an old game bundle or something. Solid change.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Particularly if the gun man is around
EvilBadman: there was a mod for the death chat, but it was text to speech only, if i recall correctly
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is SO GOOD, oh I love this
RatherLargeToad: or hilarious jump scares
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or warning them about monsters
Thefluffiestguineapig: With Voxxy yelling at you all on stream?
RandomTrivia: You could already do that if you are Voxy
RandomTrivia:
lightfut: Ah the clips with voxy
Thefluffiestguineapig: No, game is hard enough as it is. Unless you are Benjamin trying to chuck away G's head
accountmadeforants: Being a ghost in Peak is very fun, somehow. Love being snarky about being dead but also helpful.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants Being helpful but snarky is the best combo IMO
accountmadeforants: "Ubiquitous genre elements" like hunting giant robot dinosaurs as primitive humans. I see.
incslayer: somehow i dont think sony has problems with the mechanics of the game so much as with the artstyle of the gmae
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, the robot dinosaur designs are not ubiquitous
Thefluffiestguineapig: Far cry is 1st person
accountmadeforants:
Weirdly, Horizon reminds me more of Witcher 3 than BotW. (Just with way, way better combat than Witcher 3 
)
accountmadeforants: "Fine, we'll make our own Horizon Zero Dawn, with gacha and miniskirts"
Thefluffiestguineapig: Look at these promotional shots, don't use these as reference*
SocraticMethod: I think it's more likely that the game was already in development and TenCent had to file the serial numbers off
SocraticMethod: Or in design, rather
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod Yuuup. They definitely had some prototypes ready to try and convince Sony with, at least
accountmadeforants: Oh hell, didn't expect a James Channel reference here
accountmadeforants: Love that dumbass
incslayer: wasnt there a guy that used todo this all the time a few years ago?
LordZarano: Ahh, James Channel, the only place more deranged than DankPods
Coloneljesus: wow
incslayer: wow this is JANK
KaleidoscopeMind: oh
Coloneljesus: halfway nuts and australian is redundant
ghyllnox: What the actual fuck
accountmadeforants: James was doing this kind of shit *before* he was making YouTube videos about it. He's just That Guy.
KaleidoscopeMind: i mean as long as it works
SocraticMethod: The new Xbox ROG looks ... different
RockPusher: grey tape FTW
KaleidoscopeMind: ive seen engineering design students do worse tbh
DiscordianTokkan:
The Headphone jacks looked so sad. 
accountmadeforants: I remember that one Dankpods video years ago where he showed off all of James's dozens and dozens of stupid projects that he did just for himself, for fun.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Brother that looks safer than shit I've seen veterinarians do
ratbabyonline: the shattered xbox logo....
ratbabyonline: this is haunting
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's a functional optical drive
TheAinMAP:
RandomTrivia:
Oh this console is going to have gyroscopic stabilization
RockPusher: Very Pip-Boy. Very good
vinewood_og: Mythbusters flashback
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is terrifying
SocraticMethod: 9280 RPM usually
Thefluffiestguineapig: Nope, gotta have the whole setup
ratbabyonline: listen the steamdeck doesnt include a built in saw so this has that on it
KaleidoscopeMind: the fact it doesn't have a place for hours
RockPusher:
Evangelion-ass battery
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@ratbabyonline That got me
Thefluffiestguineapig: That video is terrifying
RandomTrivia:
ghyllnox: No, no it's not
Thefluffiestguineapig: !clip
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!)
accountmadeforants:
Hey, it beats the Game Gear
KaleidoscopeMind: it is clearly homemade with love
incslayer: this is a good hack... its not a good LOOKING hack
ratbabyonline: the ones with 3d printed shells are... too fancy
RandomTrivia: It's got the spirit of a hack
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline You think he can afford a 3d printer?
TurnedToFrog: Red Green would be proud
ratbabyonline: good old benjamin heckadorn
incslayer: thank you Beej that was the name i was trying to remember
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RandomTrivia It's held together with so much spit and twine
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TurnedToFrog After the terror faded at the exposed optical drive, yup
accountmadeforants: James is great at kludging electronics and mechanical parts, not so much the whole "industrial design" bit.
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone where I don't have the tools or supplies to make anything look good, all my projects look like that
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants He makes it work, he would need a partner for part 2
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's the Ian ethos
RatherLargeToad: He wants to make dinosaurs
Thefluffiestguineapig: "I wanted to do it this way"
Coloneljesus: my point has been chilled
LordZarano: James will like, cut off parts of the circuit board that he thinks are unnecessary and then patch things back together with solder when it turns out those bits were actually required
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RatherLargeToad I would argue that's too crazy for that man, he's got slightly more sense than that
accountmadeforants:
@Thefluffiestguineapig There have been times where he starts off trying to make something look nicer (like the CRT Gameboy). But it ends up being all hot glue and tape anyway
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano Rather than just getting a new one? Absolutely
TheAinMAP: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Friday Night Paper Fight (Many Magic the Gathering players ask the question, wanna watch LRR play paper Magic? This week an 8-Player MTGxSpider-Man draft! Game: Magic: The Gathering) at Fri 04:00 PM PDT (50m from now).
gnyrinn: All the old ones are up? That means that there's room for new, right?
RockPusher: Somebody get me drafters of Spider-Man!!!!!!!!!!!!
EvilBadman: A lack of pirates in this FNPF
LordZarano: He is honestly *incredibly skilled* to have things still be working after what he does to them
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano Genuinely the skills involved are IMMENSE. Just because you can't make something look pretty doesn't mean you aren't good at it
SquareDotCube: One day you'll get through Ex33 and Love After EP
Thefluffiestguineapig: Some people can make things look really good and are very bad at the things
Thefluffiestguineapig: Adam said he was?
EvilBadman: James and Adam apprently
KaleidoscopeMind: maybe it's a sequel to that tick tock game
TheAinMAP: !box
LRRbot: In the box is: [muffled sounds of gorilla violence]
RockPusher:
RockPusher: morning Cori very relatable
EvilBadman: confirm
ratbabyonline: spoilers heather...
Thefluffiestguineapig: OH, I figured out what that particular box response is a reference to! It's an old Rhythm Cafe game where you were a gorilla destroying people
TheAinMAP: James was insisting it was okay on Twitch this morning.
RandomTrivia:
The Bens literally cannot be stopped
Thefluffiestguineapig: Some might be scary in their terrible ness
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RandomTrivia Their love for cards is like the Koolaid man
Krektogar: Spearhead probably?
Ashmantle: spearhead?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Toothpicks?
