LRRbot: Quote #1112: "I'm developing a fresh biome." —Beej [2015-11-16]
TheAinMAP:
Izandai: @accountmadeforants Cursed.
RainyMint:
TXC2: TODAY!
Kentosaurus: gottem
RockPusher: The required reading is coming from inside the building!
TXC2: that intro is gonna play great on the YT version
TheAinMAP: I guess that makes Chillpoint the Pre-Release today.
TehAmelie: i have new glasses! this is exciting to roughly one person but that person s meeee
TXC2: Chillpoint being Checkpoint minus today I guess
LordZarano:
Hello VOD watchers that have already seen it! 
Akaiatana: Give viewers a sequence break
TXC2: TehAmelie congrats on new glasses
Laserbeaks_Fury: I prefer the Machete order
RockPusher: Time for the all-of-LRR recommended watch order!
TXC2: hello Heather, Paul and Beej
TehAmelie: @Laserbeaks_Fury thank you
RockPusher: … but because he is Beej!
LordZarano: Sleej
goatprince: tired because staying up late playing silksong and hades 2 at the same time, obviously
DoodlestheGreat: Okay, CheckPoint hasn't come out yet.
LordZarano: @LordZarano or Beep
TXC2:
now I'm in my 30's I believe my body thinks it's meant to sleep between 1 and 3 pm 
RockPusher: The people… are the problem
Laserbeaks_Fury: Lebubu?
TXC2: RockPusher as is usual
DoodlestheGreat: Doesn't sound like a problem to me.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Is it like a Desilu Production?
RockPusher: Laserbeaks_Fury like some sort of Wagon Train to the stars?
TXC2: do devs not remember voice chat on X-box games back in the 2000's ?
RockPusher: Grammar in journalism died long ago, Beej
Thefluffiestguineapig: Don't blame the people taking advantage of a bad idea
accountmadeforants: Beyond just being abusive pieces of shit, I guess it could also be used to eke out an advantage by playing certain sound queues.
Kentosaurus: everyone is darth vader
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig People should be blamed for taking advantage of bad idea to hurl slurs. They didn't have to go that far, that's all on them
Laserbeaks_Fury: At some point you'll be able to play as Goku and you'll sound like Goku
accountmadeforants: @TXC2 I'm convinced not a single game dev actually plays games with their own voice chat on. Killer Instinct (2013) has mics on *by default* - not push to talk either, just always on. And there's no way to turn it off other than to mute the mic (or if you have the Windows store version, disable it on the app-level).
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod For sure, but I think there is also some blame on the company for not thinking people would use the idea to do this in a historically hostile game
Thefluffiestguineapig: Both sides have blame
TXC2: accountmadeforants wow that sounds hellish
RockPusher: All video game restaurants are Taco Bell!
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig Paul, are you aware what the first thing toxic players do?
Laserbeaks_Fury: You voice just becomes Britney Spears
accountmadeforants: @TXC2 Honestly it worked out *somewhat* well, because most people just don't have mics. And the ones who do don't even realize it's on so you just hear button mashing and an occasional "...fuck". I also forgot to mention you can't turn off your *opponent's* voice chat globally, just manually at the start of every match. It truly is a wonder that it didn't turn out as bad as it really should have.
SocraticMethod: Whoops, didn't mean to reply
RockPusher: auto-translate to Simlish
Julian_Rogue: I picked a great time to come in. paul speaking peanut adult
Akaiatana: Banjo Kazooie those awful people
RockPusher: ~Morduuuuuu!
Izandai: I like the way you think, Heather.
SocraticMethod: They report other players for the crime of being bad, that's what toxic players do
TheAinMAP: Everyone's a chipmunk.
TXC2: "elmo would like to play!"
Laserbeaks_Fury: The game could, in real time, sub in your words
accountmadeforants: Legally distinct animal crossing noises
Thefluffiestguineapig: Maybe all your paid skins get returned
Thefluffiestguineapig: No refund, just returned after a certain number of offenses
Thefluffiestguineapig: And I mean ALL OF THEM
niccus: major EA news *just* came in
Akaiatana: They retired, yeah
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig Sorry, what I meant to say is that the company can be blamed for prox chat, but being toxic is a player choice and that's all on the players.
Izandai: They broke up a while back.
accountmadeforants: "This is just free money, why wouldn't we"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod Absolutely, both sides are to blame
ProcyonFlynn: A VR Crowd Environment of one of their Alive shows would be so good. Someday I hope.
Laserbeaks_Fury:
Thats just Destiny 
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think after Tron Legacy they broke up?
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig a few year after that I think
TXC2: *years

Izandai: Hate
Thefluffiestguineapig: look at my enthusiasm -.-
niccus: PUBG (Mobile) has looooong been the much bolder crossover platform
lightfut: Sonic v who now?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @lightfut an internet shit post
SocraticMethod: Mobile versions are always more ridiculous, see CoD mobile
TXC2: lightfut a character from an internet video
Thefluffiestguineapig: Unfortunately Heather, it's September
lightfut: @Thefluffiestguineapig I weep at the correctness of this
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think I saw a Kaiju #8 in there?
SocraticMethod: @Laserbeaks_Fury Yep
Kentosaurus: Just in time for skibidi's 30th anniversary
accountmadeforants:
@Thefluffiestguineapig 2021, but amicably (they still shared a studio and equipment, at that). One of them later said it was because they just didn't feel the characters were appropriate anymore. (https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65140938)
niccus: a combined human-toilet gestalt
accountmadeforants: "As much as I love this character, the last thing I would want to be, in the world we live in, in 2023, is a robot."
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can we get anti-trust law enforcemtn
TXC2:
25 years ago poeple would read that like Hieroglyphics
Thefluffiestguineapig: So when we get ridiculous things it's from smaller companiues??????? PLEASE
Laserbeaks_Fury: Skibidi goes back in time and kills Gary
lightfut: @TXC2 Yup, my system is struggling between this and the office and jaws and iron maiden secret lairs that got announced
TXC2:
25 years ago was 2000
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury My dude, Gary would take his ass to the cleaners
Juliamon: It's today's MY BRAND
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 I'm going to crumble to fucking dust, angry, angry dust
TXC2:
Thefluffiestguineapig yeap
LordZarano: Younger me would be excited that gmod comedy was still a thing in the future
Juliamon: There is *so much* lore
Laserbeaks_Fury: I can't say anything, I was a ATHF fan
Juliamon: and it's kinda great tbh
accountmadeforants: I remember AMVs and later YouTube poops much more random and/or crass. It's just kid nonsense, as usual
Juliamon: That's just how it started, yeah
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon NO, I refuse. I will believe it's great but I have so much Silksong lore to deal with
TXC2: !addquote (Heather) [now] There could be some really deep plunger lore in that toilet.
LRRbot: New quote #9398: "There could be some really deep plunger lore in that toilet." —Heather [2025-09-26]
SocraticMethod: Skibidi toilet is the Michael Bay of internet shitposts
Thefluffiestguineapig:
That's a great new quote 
Invitare: go back in time to tell your past self that it's Sonic's 30th Anniversary
Juliamon: Thefluffiestguineapig No really, it's a good series
Laserbeaks_Fury: "On the night I go back in time, you are going to be shot by Skibidi Toilets. Please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrrible disaster."
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon (I do believe you because you have good taste in lore, preparing for the VTNE is exhausting)
accountmadeforants: Eh, that's kinda cute. You can have weird ways to keep people from giving you money, I don't mind.
Juliamon: *my* autism saw everyone my age knocking Skibidi Toilet and said "but why is it bad?" and gave it a watch
Thefluffiestguineapig: How's that lawsuit going where you deleted all that data from your game Bungee?
ProcyonFlynn: I mean, it kneecaps the scalpers. So it's not all bad.
SocraticMethod: Bungie rewards are from raid completions, year even completions, seasonal story completions and seasonal events, in decreasing degree of fancyness
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon My autism is currently focused on Strange Antiquities and Strange Horticulture and I'm forcing the rest to be on memorizing things for so many things I won't ever see in practice (no one with a brain will ever let me work with their parrot)
MajorFrostbyte: 100% for platinum
goatprince: i have, for example, only platinum'd 2 games ever
RockPusher: Thinking about it as a proof-of-work anti-scalper scheme feels quite positive. Whether that was intended, eh.
gnyrinn: A literal "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt."
Laserbeaks_Fury: "I beat Ghost of Tsushima , and all I got was this crummy t-shirt"
MajorFrostbyte: I've only ever platinum'd the original Red Dead Redemption
accountmadeforants: It's kinda weird to me how PlayStation "trophies" are now so much more of a thing than Xbox Achievements. I remember those being such a big deal for so long. But I suppose that's just their respective marketshare.
TXC2:
I'd need those shirts for the games I've 100% on steam, if only because then I'd have some rad Fallout and dark souls shirts
Thefluffiestguineapig: It brings the previous game back into the public eye before the sequel comes out
accountmadeforants: And it means that people who are already invested in the game/franchise to buy it now or miss out forever.
RockPusher: TXC2 hmmm, a Kaizen shirt would be kinda cool
accountmadeforants: *are pushed to
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh yeah, agreed on the "you did the difficult thing give us cash" BS
Thefluffiestguineapig: $77????????
wedge_x: that's how they gated the things for a while
wedge_x: $777,777.77
accountmadeforants: I very much doubt their payment processor would even let them do that
Thefluffiestguineapig: You could pay their rent
Laserbeaks_Fury: like a Sword for Hire, but, video games
TXC2: I feel like that sort of thing is happening for A LOT less money in China right now
wedge_x:
they do actively ban people for paying people to beat the game for you 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury I would bet money I profoundly do not have that now this has been release the stupid rich people are now doing this
TXC2: instead of Have gun, will travel, it's have wifi, will game
Thefluffiestguineapig: @wedge_x For me the question would be how rampant is this in single player games like Ghost of Tsushima?
LordZarano: Ew wifi... Ethernet or no deal
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Or have VPN, will spoof location
Laserbeaks_Fury: Man, I remember when my local arcade had a copy og Mario 3 on the ticket wall, and I wanted to grind for that so bad
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig ooh yes
wedge_x: @Thefluffiestguineapig rampant probably not, but giving someone else your login to play the game for you is going to be against TOS for just about anything
Thefluffiestguineapig: @wedge_x But rich people don't care and as a profoundly poor person if it pays your rent your probably don't either
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants WHAT
Thefluffiestguineapig: That number of video games is so many, and I wonder how many were played on W+P
RockPusher:
like me wearing my last-season kickstarter shirt yesterday 
accountmadeforants: @Thefluffiestguineapig He's only slightly edged out "Ian Brandon Anderson", who owns 39550 distinct games
Laserbeaks_Fury: Gamer gang signs
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants What storage medium do they have? Do these people just buy those giant bundles of tat games?
RockPusher: "A certain style"™
gnyrinn: "Say what you like about Hideo Kojima" ... OK (deep intake of breath)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @gnyrinn With or without caveats?
accountmadeforants: @Thefluffiestguineapig Apparently they actually own like twice that many games, but Steam doesn't count "shovelware" games for that badge, though I have no idea what qualifies.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants If shovelware doesn't qualify how on earth did they reach those numbers
accountmadeforants:
@Thefluffiestguineapig I've been trying to figure that out since finding out about this a few minutes ago 
Thefluffiestguineapig: I am even more concerned
wedge_x: keep parsing it as Niantic Facial
itmightbemikey: Torment Nexus
Bruceski: Torment Nexux all the way down
Thefluffiestguineapig: Women still have high collars Beej
Ms_LadyMix: 100% Tech people's reading comprehension is down bad
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's how you know Kojima isn't in charge
ghyllnox: Many people in tech are superspecialized in tech and don't necessarily have skills like reading comprehension, philosophy, or critical thinking
LordZarano: Coming soon: Hideo Kojima's Torment Stranding
Ms_LadyMix: I've been yelling "ethics classes for comp sci students" a lot in the last 10 years lol
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Ms_LadyMix I think that should be a requirement with multiple levels
Ms_LadyMix: I don't want to breathe through my skin
Thefluffiestguineapig: The world is already fucking bleak!
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh god, I just flashed to that one segment in BioShock 2 where you see how the Little Sisters see Rapture.
accountmadeforants:
@accountmadeforants Apparently the games it doesn't count are ones that are outright banned, free-to-play games, and ones with the "Profile Features Limited" tag: https://steamdb.info/tag/1003823/
Thefluffiestguineapig: Women currently have access to wear what they want, rather than permanently mostly unzipped zippers and minimum fabric for the most convoluted BS reasons ever
accountmadeforants: I'll stop talking about the 40K games thing now. (But I won't stop thinking about it)
SocraticMethod: Heather, that's from M. Night Shyamalan film "Old", which is about literal beach that ages you
Thefluffiestguineapig: To brainwash all the population
Thefluffiestguineapig: It sounds like a Black Mirror episode
SocraticMethod: The actual question is, will Kojima finally make Google Glass cool?
Laserbeaks_Fury: They've made yokai themed AR games, yeah?
Ms_LadyMix: That would be super fun!
Thefluffiestguineapig: You can't make Metal Gear's world chill
itmightbemikey: Boktai
Izandai: Man loves his piss jokes.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Izandai Randomly, true
Thefluffiestguineapig: YUP
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also remember that Revengence was a thing?
accountmadeforants: Kojima will think of something funny to do and gets to be his own editor and just make it real
TXC2:
Revengence is a good game damnit
SocraticMethod: Revengeance wasn't kojima thing, though
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 It's a fun game, I will die on the hill it is a fun game
Thefluffiestguineapig: Good? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig fair
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod He wasn't involved in that? I thought he was
accountmadeforants:
@TXC2 Revengeance is the best Metal Gear game. (And yeah it technically wasn't even Kojima)
loufghyslaufey: @TXC2 People want a Kojima game to be a bad game?
Bruceski: It reads your browser history to pick a celebrity you'll recognize
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh, because a game where you could fruit ninja the world would be rad
Izandai: what
ghyllnox: Right this
Laserbeaks_Fury: so like a rewards card?
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig Kojima productions made the initial prototype but they couldn't do the gameplay, so they brought platinum games in, who changed almost everything about it
Julian_Rogue: @Bruceski Beej is that you?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod That explains so much
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod But they kept the watermelon slicing part! They even made it a core gameplay mechanic!
SocraticMethod: Kojima's influence in the final revengeance is minimal
loufghyslaufey: Wasn't Sony also starting to do something like this as well?
PhorrestGaze: LRR credit card coming soon
Julian_Rogue: LRR credit card when?
loufghyslaufey: I noted seeing something like it in the sponsored reels
accountmadeforants: And apparently they later kinda regretted that partnership with Apple, because Apple made it too easy to get credit cards or something?
Laserbeaks_Fury: FOXPOINTS
loufghyslaufey: LRR Credit Karma, #TwitchChannelPoints <(=w=)>
Julian_Rogue: LRR affirm buy now yes and later
loufghyslaufey: Ooh, hey! I've only like... 1.2 million?
accountmadeforants: The absolute *state* of this Play
Juliamon: This State of Play Could Have Been an Email
loufghyslaufey: I mean, if Konami was desperate enough...(nighwayimprobable)
MajorFrostbyte: You know Paul, if you aren't using 4 of those 5 PS5s....
accountmadeforants:
Code Vein 2? I hope Adam gets to play that one
loufghyslaufey: And yep
loufghyslaufey: Playstation Credit Card - Apply Now
loufghyslaufey: Apparently sponsored?
Laserbeaks_Fury: yeah
PhorrestGaze: oops all blood
accountmadeforants:
Good to know the Mortal Kombat/Sniper Ghost Warrior people are still finding work, I guess 
CaptainSpam: Turns out it's a blood collection simulator, not a comic book game. Who knew?
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think it's going to reasonate more with God of War fans
Laserbeaks_Fury: *old God of War
Thefluffiestguineapig: So for me the thing as a fan of X-Men comics, this is true to tone
Laserbeaks_Fury: Old Man Logan was allowed to let lose
Laserbeaks_Fury: well "Logan"
EvilBadman: and DP and Wolvie
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, they made him really toothless in the movies to the point of making him almost not Wolverine
TXC2: yeah that first fight in Logan is kinda shocking compared to earlier x-men movies
SquareDotCube: yeah the blood and dismemberment does feel like another case of "not reading the room" in that people are more familiar with X-Men Wolverine, not Wolverine comics Wolvering.
SquareDotCube: *Wolverine
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SquareDotCube Eh, but I feel like it's also they might have been required to distance it from the movie depictions quite a bit. The video games have had to lean into the comics a lot, see Midnight Suns for that
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh, we have no idea about the gameplay
Thefluffiestguineapig: I hated that commercial
TXC2:
excited for a Wolverine whose 5ft3 again
Laserbeaks_Fury: Wolverine definitely has a lot of foes who can generally get back up for the kind of damage he can deal
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 And smokes cigars, and says 'bub' all the time
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig yes!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury Oh for sure
Thefluffiestguineapig: See Sabertooth, Mister Sinister etc
DoodlestheGreat: And he's only played like... 3 of 'em.
TXC2:
I have games on steam I've not played in 15 years
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 To be clear, I love Wolverine. I have zero idea what that game will be like. If they put it in certain arcs of his character it could fit into very god of war like things but with him being rescued by certain things
Thefluffiestguineapig:
But I'll back off from deep comic talk
RockPusher: TXC2 now I am wondering what the oldest unplayed game is in my library
TXC2: RockPusher you can sort by date added to library
Thefluffiestguineapig: For me it would be HL2 simply because I haven't been able to have access to a PC in so long
Thefluffiestguineapig: I want to know what the fuck the criteria for inclusion in the 40,000 is
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh yeah, Orange Box is probably the one
SocraticMethod: Oh wow, Alien Swarm is still active?
morgwen921: Not me sitting here playing 17 years of WoW now >_< lol
Drum0_0: nearly?
goatprince: i have more that 1000 hours, heather
Mazrae: Mine is HD2 at 700+
Invitare: over 3000 in Warframe
Akaiatana: "One game?" *Looks nervously*
Ms_LadyMix: Animal Crossing and Stardew 100% and now FF14
Thefluffiestguineapig: Nelson talked about how he had to leave one game active because closing it would crash his PC
Laserbeaks_Fury: I have 2700 hours in Arkham City
RockPusher: Stardew has 852
Juliamon: I have several games with waaaayyyy more hours than average bc my PC had trouble starting up the game so I'd just minimize it when not playing
JessieImproved: I have no idea how many hours I have in Minecraft, probably 10k
TheDevil_Risen: DRG 1.0 is epic
SquareDotCube: Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft
EvilBadman: i have so many between all versions of Binding of Isaac
RubikDarkwill: 1,000??? Not 20,000??? FF14
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Nelson talked about that during I think a CTS!
SquareDotCube: Beej
SocraticMethod: Oof, 3k hours in Eve Online, 3k hours in Destiny 2, 1K hours in Warframe..
TheDevil_Risen: HAI BeeJ!
SquareDotCube: Whereas the "one game I play every 5 years" that's probably Link's Awakening
dumbo3k: oh wow, Alien Swarm is still getting updates?
Ms_LadyMix: Oh Threes is a great one
Ms_LadyMix: Been playing that for what feels like decades
Thefluffiestguineapig: Because I watched Alien Earth I got an ad for a new title in the Alien Isolation vein
SocraticMethod: @dumbo3k I'm seeing last update April 2020
TXC2: right chat I'm off
SocraticMethod: *August
RockPusher: 'night TXC2
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Sleep well!
LNBudapestTV10: Hello everyone!
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather, Paul and Beej
morgwen921: I didn't even think about phone games. I was thinking like Witcher 3, God of War, ruhroh.
dumbo3k: @SocraticMethod ah, I was looking at Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop, has updates even upto September of this year
Bruceski: I just pulled up my Steam profile, I have 937 hours in Marvel Puzzle Quest
loufghyslaufey: Turn? As in magic? In paper? Cuz, "Turn!?"
SocraticMethod: @dumbo3k They made new Alien Swarm?!
Mazrae: I think I have about 500hrs or do in BG3
Ms_LadyMix: I know SO many people with over 1000 hours in Animal Crossing
goatprince: civ 6. diabolical
loufghyslaufey: Kerbal Space Program when?
Laserbeaks_Fury: I mean, sometimes you just dont turn off the game
Izandai: 1450 hours in BOTW, 1145 in TOTK
Laserbeaks_Fury: Just in time for the new one
Snowcookies: I have 619 days of playtime in FFXIV lol
morgwen921: My kid was 7 when ACNH came out. We spent a solid two years of the pandemic in that game haha
Thefluffiestguineapig: @loufghyslaufey I think they did that a long time ago, but not recently
loufghyslaufey: Can you believe its still 40 USD on Steam?
TheDevil_Risen:
so many hours of silksong yesterday too
Thefluffiestguineapig: Your tone suggests otherwise
Thefluffiestguineapig: Kay, he's got a body cam
Thefluffiestguineapig: Magtrain under the rails is rad
RockPusher: Real life but with anime physics?
Laserbeaks_Fury: lol that looked like Ruby
TheDevil_Risen: Just cause grappling hook
TheDevil_Risen: lets go
gnyrinn: Was that guy swinging by the neck?
RuiFaleiro: sleeping dogs ish
Thefluffiestguineapig: That combat looks Yakuza as hell
SocraticMethod: #Dumpstered
Laserbeaks_Fury: They drop development in less than a year
Thefluffiestguineapig: OH NO
RockPusher presses X to doubt
morgwen921: eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
vinewood_og: costco chickens
Thefluffiestguineapig: Maybe eventually pay for areas?
Bratmon subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 115 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Bratmon! (Today's storm count: 22)
RockPusher: Importantly, open-world GTA style *with anime waifus*
Laserbeaks_Fury: My fear is, if they don't hit their *massive* goal, they will drop it soooo fast
accountmadeforants: @RockPusher But you play as the cops
RubikDarkwill: It''s the free first hit
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RubikDarkwill That's why I brought up paying for future areas/expansions
accountmadeforants: But yeah, this is definitely going to be a hit with people who can't buy GTA 6 up front.
RockPusher:
accountmadeforants someone has to send people to horny-jail 
accountmadeforants: (I.e., kids)
Snowcookies: another way is by time limiting activities unless you pay for time
RealGamerCow: Speaking of gatcha, are you aware of the Real Life Nikke Gatcha game?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Snowcookies Oh I hate that you brought that up but absolutely you're right
artdecosunburn: @RockPusher I hate joining a stream mid-comment.
accountmadeforants:
@Snowcookies Gotta buy your ammo 
vinewood_og: Slop(TM)
Thefluffiestguineapig: See Palia that TQ plays
Thefluffiestguineapig: Great for a very specific audience
LordZarano: Fortnite copied their main thing from PUBG, worked out for them
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano It seems like more and more games are counting on that
accountmadeforants: That would be the 20th revamp by now, probably. Also, remember when everything had to be rebranded to Google Play Thing? (E.g., Google Music becoming Google Play Music, but also Google Play Books. I'm surprised they never renamed Wallet to Google Play Money)

vinewood_og: What if the matrix, but we just upload the clanker wankers, and keep them quarantined there?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Lets be honest, this is just asking Chat for info

Juliamon: Let's Make Steak Sauce

Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury This is literally as likely to give you good advice as the LRRbot commands
accountmadeforants:
@Laserbeaks_Fury Probably going to be just as accurate as your average Twitch chat, too
Laserbeaks_Fury: How long until we get Loading tips for real life
Thefluffiestguineapig: It might not able to be implemented in this game
accountmadeforants: Gotta hit it with some real curve balls, like "Gemini, how do I raise this anime horse girl" and "When should I Brainstorm?"
RockPusher: !advice
LRRbot: One must STFU to properly explore.
LordZarano: Which also, anyone playing a football game would presumably already know football things
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants Please, I want someone to do that second one
Kentosaurus: "have you tried lifting with your legs"

TheDevil_Risen: hahahahaha
Thefluffiestguineapig: heheheheheheheheh
SquareDotCube: "Sonic is blue and wears red striped sneakers!"
EvilBadman: "Sonic is a hedgehog! Heh, all right!"
SquareDotCube: to quote Graham "Thanks tips!"
LordZarano: "Here's what I found on the web"
gnyrinn: Surely, 4th street was named for the number 4. Am I missing something?
EvilBadman: "I wish to drown you siri, and myself, take me to the river" "🎶I don't know why I love her like I do"
Thefluffiestguineapig: YES
Thefluffiestguineapig: In Paul's voice these are great
RealGamerCow: There are duck boat tours of Boston that give AWFUL facts. My wife corrected them about 10 times.
Invitare: L4D like thing
Laserbeaks_Fury: Vermintide is it the non-40 K version
artdecosunburn: @RealGamerCow I once had a tour guide in San Antonio insist a mission's rose window was named after "Rose from the Cantina."
LordZarano: Skaventide but 40K
gnyrinn: @RealGamerCow Awful as in inaccurate? Or did they just point out the sites of massacres and the old slave market?
LordZarano: Right Vermintide not Skaven
Thefluffiestguineapig: @artdecosunburn Brother no, do you know what religion those missions are for/what the Catholics use rose's to symbolize?
Thefluffiestguineapig: (Brother in the Adam sense)
RealGamerCow: @gnyrinn awful as in inaccurate, like incorrectly saying which church was the Old North Church
niccus: dota tier patch note
Invitare: FromSoftware patch notes
LordZarano: So they completely replaced the game with a new game?
RubikDarkwill: Like Nintendo patch notes?
RockPusher: eh, that seems like a light read
artdecosunburn: These were Spanish missions. Clearly this guide had never seen pictures of European cathedrals.
Wolfstrike_NL:
I've seen way worse
Thefluffiestguineapig: One of my favorite Checkpoint stories was a VA from a game who read all the patch notes as his character in that game one time
RubikDarkwill: "Other bug fixes and performance improvements"
RockPusher sadly sometimes has to wade through 'enterprise' software change logs and release notes to check for breaking changes
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RubikDarkwill So things you don't want people to investigate too closely, got it
TheDevil_Risen: that's a statue
MajorFrostbyte: For that price I thought it'd be a life size collasus
RealGamerCow: That is very pretty. That is not $1500 pretty
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yup
Thefluffiestguineapig: He's SUPPOSED to grab you
loufghyslaufey: Cool
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yup
RockPusher: I suspect the photos aren't doing it justice
loufghyslaufey: Only, i was almost gonna call it a LEGO from a distance...
Marvoleath:
LEGO would be more than $1500
Thefluffiestguineapig: @loufghyslaufey I could buy a cooler LEGO for less than that I'm more invested in
Marvoleath: buy it just for the tower / cliff, remove the monster => value
Thefluffiestguineapig: k
gibbousm: so like how we went from MTG Grand Prixs to Magic Fests?
loufghyslaufey: @Thefluffiestguineapig I want it in HOGSMEADE
accountmadeforants: @RockPusher Big fan when they just have a page with the latest changes, which is just the latest patch, and you have to somehow jump through way too many hoops to find all the older release notes to get to the major/minor versions.
SquareDotCube: this sounds like someone's missed E3
Thefluffiestguineapig: Why did that message fail to send?
EvilBadman: or...not 2b?
RealGamerCow: 2b or b2b, that is the question
Izandai:
Beej you ass. 
goatprince: Tubi's something else, actually,
Izandai:
Izandai: That's the emote I meant to send.
gnyrinn: Wasn't B2B the dodgy key-reseller?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @goatprince Is that still around?
EvilBadman: @gnyrinn you're thinking G2A
loufghyslaufey: People talk about Tubi?
gnyrinn: @EvilBadman Yes, that rings a bell. Thanks.
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's too many
SquareDotCube: B2B of course means business to business, if anyone actually want to know. It shows up quite a bit where I work
Thefluffiestguineapig: I went to a 4 day Medievalists academic conference that didn't have 1,000 speakers
accountmadeforants: I don't think that's significantly more than previous GDCs
RealGamerCow: business conventions definitely have tracks
Thefluffiestguineapig: Profoundly press x to doubt
accountmadeforants:
Here's the page with all of GDC 2025's speakers from earlier this year, it just... keeps... going... https://schedule.gdconf.com/speakers (It was also over a 1000, and over 750 sessions)
SquareDotCube: Again this is sounding like E3, and we all know what happened to E3
Laserbeaks_Fury: So what you do it you release E3 Classic
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think the Medievalist conference had over 1,000 presentations but not 1,000 speakers
Thefluffiestguineapig: And that conference was a thing for that entire section of academia, people flew from everywhere to that one place in Michigan
SquareDotCube: really the solution GDC needs is not one big convention but several smaller conventions that much more accessible, but looks like the board hates the logisitical idea of that
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SquareDotCube Specializing like PAX did
Thefluffiestguineapig: So this needs to be marketed like a literal academic conference
gnyrinn: @SquareDotCube But it did have ~2 decades before it burned down, fell over and then sank into the swamp
Thefluffiestguineapig: I was onto something!
Laserbeaks_Fury: "How to Not Put Tinnitus In Your Game"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants That's so much plain text
SquareDotCube: man it's like PAX was made for this reason
Laserbeaks_Fury: honestly...
Thefluffiestguineapig: So academic conferences will have discounted passes for students, they could figure that out for developers with unpublished games
Thefluffiestguineapig: like zero published games
accountmadeforants: They have a ton of sponsors. Lots of big companies use it as a networking opportunity, including Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, etc.
accountmadeforants: Apple's also there
Thefluffiestguineapig: Some academic conferences are hosted in really unappealing places to help with affordability
Thefluffiestguineapig: Publishers could sponsor people to go to certain sessions
Thefluffiestguineapig: That tells you a lot
accountmadeforants:
They have a list of their sponsors and exhibitors here, it's an extremely long list: https://expo.gdconf.com/2025/ Though their "Diamond Partners" for 2025 were Epic, Meta, Microsoft, Tencent and Xsolla
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's great
Marvoleath: goalkeeper did not like shooting

RockPusher:
I'm mean, goal keepers are traditionally loners 
accountmadeforants: "An old-school Call of Duty", ouch, how far the mighty have fallen
accountmadeforants: @RockPusher I wanna see a soccer or hockey match where both teams are just all goalies. Nobody gets to play.
TheDevil_Risen: it takes two?
TheDevil_Risen:
poor elephant
Thefluffiestguineapig: Lift and throw and lift and throw and lift and throw and hanatize
CaptainSpam: There was a GDQ run of Overcooked 2 a while back that was EPIC in the communication involved.
TheDevil_Risen: (split fiction)
RockPusher:
Stay in your 
lane
accountmadeforants: "No, I'm gonna get a job I like"
ContingentCat: turns out communication is good if you work with people
Thefluffiestguineapig: I wish I could make people do this as a vet tech
Thefluffiestguineapig: People coming into my lane when I've said I'll be behind with for instance, medications for an animal, makes me SO MAD
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yup. Now when I see a ring of rocks I instinctively look for the Korok
accountmadeforants: Damn that's so smart
accountmadeforants: Although in fairness, I did write about Total Annihilation for the school newspaper once.
loufghyslaufey: Vita!?
