345tom: @LowUpsideCJ pavlov nelly o he assinates on command
calculated_uncertainties: Believe the US that believe in you!
Sethalidos: I just wish that fighting games didn't attract such horrible people
LowUpsideCJ: two kids. we have a clip where he admits it
345tom: Download a year old replay of nellys and have him look at it and say what is better

TheAinMAP: Can our Chillpointers discuss video game news while acting out Street Fighter?
RockPusher: Beej now fight-stick enabled!

LoadingReadyRun: ready to chill those points!
RockPusher: I see Beej has changed it up for the spooky season

RockPusher: Magic!
TXC2: it's a miracle
EvilBadman: Does beej but the cereal in first or the mayo
kingandcommoner: @EvilBadman It's miracle whip
TXC2: hello Heather, Paul and now a real boy Beej
RockPusher: Can Beej eat the cereal faster than James buys it?
Bruceski: something something House of Lies
Invitare: *writes down "Beej-drop beats Creepy Doll"*
TXC2: RockPusher he apparently can't, James has said as much
LordZarano: Delegated to ghosts
RockPusher: Schrodinger's Checkpoint
kingandcommoner: you could just...ask
mtvcdm: I mean most of them are unnecessary own goals
TXC2: twitter, desperately trying to be known as X
mtvcdm: Grok will try to make 3D Flappy Bird and fail
LordZarano: Ex-Twitter, because it's run by Grime's Ex-boyfriend
mtvcdm: Grok will make Catacombs of Solaris
LordZarano: *Grimes's
Decaped: Ask Netflix what a watchable movie is. They know.
RockPusher: Elon Time was a well known phenomena even before we fully grasped how trash a human he is
kingandcommoner: I think we could get Grok to make the original Great Videogame in short order. Who's up for Tennis?
TXC2: maybe they mean a grate game?
ratbabyonline: i was not expecting beej mukbang from chillpoint
Jay_Blanc: At least Grok has killed somewhat less people than some other AI promised technologies Musk has delivered.
SquareDotCube: Dadaist Minecraft
EvilBadman: Can't explain that
mtvcdm: Yeah. Basically that Catacombs of Solaris game that was on Watch+Play years and years and years ago. That's what any AI-generated 'game' is going to be.
TXC2: Jay_Blanc so far
ratbabyonline: programmers are already so bad at documentation vibe coding and ai is going to exacerbate that....
TheMerricat: If anyone has watched any of the videos of _actual_ Generative AI coding devs trying to teach the AI to know how to walk know exactly how full of shit Elon is...
LordZarano:
@ratbabyonline It's fine just tell the AI to comment the code 
TXC2: "AI" has never made anything out of whole cloth, it's plagiarism all the way down
Jay_Blanc: AI Vibe Coding has already worked out to be really really bad and introduces security hazards.
Goldensaber22: @Jay_Blanc thats fantastic. I'm glad, and I hope those hazards never go away
Jay_Blanc: Surprise, an LLM doesn't have any special knowledge on making malloc thread safe.
mtvcdm: That one Coca-Cola Christmas ad that was like an hour and a half of footage that got cut down to ten 1.5-second cuts, and they still had to manually insert the Coke logo
Goldensaber22: when they make an HRM I'll be worried
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone!
TXC2: hello Lysander_salamander welcome
lightfut: Terminal promiser back at it again
Jillexie: I hate calling them AIs in the first place.
Jay_Blanc: Someone should follow Musk around just constantly asking "Where's the Robotaxi Musk? Where's the Robotaxi?"
TXC2: to be very slightly fair, a person can't doing anything on their own without training
ratbabyonline: Grok? tighten up the graphics on Level 3
MaxVolume: @Jay_Blanc "Where's my electric car, Bruce?"
Invitare: Elon Musk is like 5 days from company scrip at any given time
ratbabyonline: I think the AI should atleast have to pay the full westwood college tuition
TXC2: MaxVolume I can hear that line
TheMerricat: That's the secret Beej, you don't
TXC2: that's bang on Heather
Lysander_salamander: There's stories of other companies suing devs because their coding looked very similar to the coding they used in their games. I wonder if the companies are going to investigate these ai-generated code.
Jay_Blanc: We put an entire library into a blender, but for some reason when we poured out the contents it wasn't a book!
mtvcdm: To make an apple pie, you must first create the universe
RockPusher:
at least this shitty game will be public domain

TXC2: 100 hours to automate a 15 minute task
ratbabyonline: Computer load program Tuvok 003 (thats the one where hes murdering Neelix)
TheMerricat: The dream is teaching an AI how to do something, even if it's extremely cost probative, is a one time cost. Once you make it able to make 1 game, you can make it make 100000 games.
mtvcdm: People want a quick and easy shortcut to making a thing and taking the 'scenic route' that just leads right off a cliff
TXC2: ratbabyonline I maintain Tuvok did that 'cause he actually likes Neelix, so killing proves he's lost control
RockPusher wonders what games the Questionable Content characters would make
Lysander_salamander: yeah, they hate having to pay for employees
ratbabyonline: @TXC2 oh thats funny because I maintain he already had that program before the events of that episode
RockPusher: Moray would be so happy being asked to make a game
Lysander_salamander: it disgusts me that they're spending so much money in order to not have employees
TXC2: Lysander_salamander that's greed for ya
mtvcdm: (Actually, 33% buy *less* than one game per year.)
RockPusher: Cat residue spreader
TheMerricat: @Lysander_salamander The very very thin silver lining is if they ever manage to automate everything, it just takes a moment's lapse for that to make it to the rest of us and suddenly we are in a post-capitalism society....
LordZarano: A clearly defined physics problem with a single definite intended result, landing a Falcon 9, took SpaceX a whole decade. Art is.. the opposite of that. Every artwork needs novel and different stuff to be good
Lysander_salamander: "we want to put spyware in your vacuum cleaner"
Jay_Blanc: Fundamentally, just as with 'The Blockchain', LLMs are a big complicated expensive system that doesn't address any known problem better than any of the existing solutions.
RockPusher: Lysander_salamander I mean, your robot vacuum is mapping your house and sending that to HQ
TXC2: LordZarano and spaceX has actual competent people working there
EvilBadman: Washing machine just like "ooh big load"
kingandcommoner: If washing machines coudl detect when a large load was 200 socks or 1 blanket that will turn into a wrecking ball, that'd be good enough
MaxVolume: Don't test that at home
RockPusher: Babies well known for needing cleaning
mtvcdm: Generative washing machine AI has turned your newborn baby into a cat
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
ratbabyonline: No No No! dont washing machine the baby!
mtvcdm: Beej is saying things again
MaxVolume: I know someone who accidentally had her cat be in the washing machine
Jay_Blanc: You don't put babies in the washing machine, that's what the dish washer is for!
RockPusher: Cats tend to wash themselves
TXC2: you can still get top loaders?
ratbabyonline: i think the joke might be you say 9 pounds 16 ounces so youre not saying 10 pounds
EvilBadman: ubisoft, who logo looks like a washing machine, wait shit
TXC2:
wild that ubisoft is the less annoying subject 
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 Yeah, they are smaller so it's easier to fit. I have one for my studio
accountmadeforants: @TXC2 They're still a pretty big thing in NA from what I've heard, yeah. (And you can get them in Europe if you look for them, too)
ratbabyonline: Ubisoft, A company founded to sell CDs farmers in france
TXC2: SocraticMethod intresting, I've only ever seen front loaders here in the UK
vinewood_og: The side past
TXC2: accountmadeforants I see
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod Huh, I always thought of front loaders as being easier to fit, since you can stack a drying machine (or other assorted junk) on top of them.
RockPusher:
"Assassins Creed: Django" does sound cool tho 
EvilBadman: @accountmadeforants big thing in rental uits because cheap
EvilBadman: units*
DoodlestheGreat: Cam's take fits best.
accountmadeforants: History as a stage for their own story
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 AEG, Whirlpool and Electrolux have quite a few models available
ratbabyonline: @SocraticMethod i was like "the wrestling organization makes washing machines now?"
SocraticMethod: @accountmadeforants Top loaders can be made narrower so it fits right between my sink and the wall
accountmadeforants:
@SocraticMethod AEG and Electrolux are the same brand, fwiw
(Zanussi and Frigidaire, too)
Lysander_salamander: It's possible that Syndicate would take place after that? Or possibly concurrently?
Barb4rian: AC2 was fire
ratbabyonline: he does beam blast you with the Papal Staff
ratbabyonline: Pope Beam Blast
TXC2: Barb4rian it really was, especially the ending
EvilBadman: I will say blastin' klan members as Arthur as mentions how shitty they are in rdr2 is wonderful

Lysander_salamander: Though, considering the whole alien artifact mind controlling people and affecting historical events -- perhaps it would be better if this storyline wasn't in the hands of ubisoft.
ratbabyonline: thats going to be the only games grok makes based on its existing output
EvilBadman: if anything FC5 is a twist on the Montana Freeman of the mid 90s, since it's also in montana.
TXC2:
this game would have been what if Ubisoft had made Django unchained 
SocraticMethod: TBH the US games were the weakest of the bunch because there wasn't that much interesting architecture to parkour
Jillexie: Black Flag is 18th Century.
Lysander_salamander: And there was also the spinoff Assassin's Creed Liberation
LordZarano: @SocraticMethod In the UK most places have the washing machine in the kitchen under a counter. So effectively zero house space taken, just some cupboard space
TXC2:
isn't the point of the ass creed games that everyone in them as a relative that is alive today? 
SocraticMethod: Big "Vampires caused the Chechnyan genocide" energy
EvilBadman: @TXC2 that was changed after AC3, in universe they developed tech to bypass that
Lysander_salamander: yeah VTM had some unfortunate lore
TXC2:
EvilBadman ah, I stopped after the 3rd 2 game 
accountmadeforants: Oh, yet another Nobunaga manga for me to add to the pile

SocraticMethod I mean that's just true for a given value of "vampire" 
MaxVolume: nice sub
TXC2:
is there a legal mandate that Japan has to make media with Oda Nobunaga in it every year? 
mtvcdm: Get hit in the face with a time pie
Lysander_salamander: I do like the ones where the protagonist is walking down the street and suddenly they're in another world
radiowasabi2014: time slip refers more to accidental time travel
radiowasabi2014: rather than deliberate
Decaped: Nobunaga will escape from the moon if they stop putting him in anime.
accountmadeforants: As an aside, I'm a big fan of Sengoku Komachi. Which is also a Nobunaga time slip thing, but about a girl who gives not a single fuck about paradoxes and keeps introducing modern technology/ideas.
e_bloc: just make it whenever someone sneezes they isekai
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Is there a caveat it can't always be some weird Yakuza cameo?
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
vinewood_og: Or they'll lose the rights like Spiderman
RockPusher:

Bruceski: If they stop making media with Nobunaga he comes back.
EvilBadman: Oh I thought it was activision, hence Nobunaga's Pro Skater 5
DoodlestheGreat: Nobunaga as pizza delivery man.
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 Same mandate that forces British to make Arthurian Legend media every year :v
TXC2: SocraticMethod ah of course
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, seems about right
mtvcdm: !crossover
LRRbot: Is this a Fate/stay night game? You have to tell me if this is a Fate/stay night game.
TheMerricat: There _was_ one anime/manga that had him as a background character in it. I can't remember the full details but it was one where a lot of historical figures got reincarnated and just hung out.
kingandcommoner: Nobunaga, Rasputin, Nikolai tesla
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig yeah the Yakuza cameo only counts as a half
Lysander_salamander:

SocraticMethod: @LRRbot Wow, LRRbot is on point today
Lysander_salamander: wow
Lord_Hosk: Wikipedia says 47 years old at death
LidofLoathing: It is a Nobunaga's Ambition crossover, yes
accountmadeforants: He also didn't do the one thing he said he was going to do (unify Japan), frankly embarrassing
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 I mean, most of Yakuza anything only counts as half of something because there's just SO MUCH in all those games it adds up
LordZarano: "Died 21 June 1582 (aged 47)"
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig indeed

Thefluffiestguineapig: Seems like a lot of European history taught outside of Europe, where it's WWI, WWII and fall of the Berlin Wall
Lysander_salamander: I missed the time when they stopped having ww2 movies for a few years.
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone who regularly references the importance of the Reformations
radiowasabi2014: you'd think perhaps the US would have more War of Independence movies
radiowasabi2014: but i guess that time period isn't as loved
radiowasabi2014: in the US
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Lysander_salamander Let's have a good movie about the drama of Jean Calvin's life when he took over the city of Zurich (not even a lie) and was starved out by everyone else because they all agreed "yeah, this guy is too much"
TXC2:
radiowasabi2014 everyone hates it from having to learn 5 times in grade school 
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@radiowasabi2014 It's not clear cut enough for people
(help I hate it here with my history masters)
EvilBadman: AC: Shadows has like no "outside the Animus stuff"
Lord_Hosk: To be fair... When you talk about Greek History you always talk about Sparta... And sparta was only a prominent city state for about 3 generations. During 500 to 425 BC, but that covers the pelopanisian wars and the greco persian war.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman I think they realized that they didn't win any friends with the amount of "hey how terrible is the game company" stuff that happened in that one and haven't really returned to it since, even though I thought it was hilarious
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm SO GLAD they didn't do that game
RockPusher: Tablespoons per second
Lysander_salamander: oh, so that's what happened
EvilBadman: @Thefluffiestguineapig Kinda, the Origin-Odd-Val trilogy split off from the game company animus user
TXC2: Lord_Hosk I wonder if it's done because Sparta is such a foil to Athens in a way the other city states weren’t
Thefluffiestguineapig: The chances it would have been good are slim to none considering the very large possibility of treatment of extremely horrific history treated with insufficient gravitas and respect
accountmadeforants:
Easy: Simply stop using tablespoons as a measurement 
Lord_Hosk: The largest DDOS attack since Zero Cool crashed the New York Stock exchange. 1500 and 7 systems
MaxVolume: tbps is tablespoons? That doesn't make sense. Why the P? It's not the start of the syllable
Lysander_salamander: depending on the country they sometimes use "t" and "T"
kingandcommoner: Tbsp is generally capitol so it's eaier to tell the difference at a galnce
RockPusher:

TXC2: why is pounds lbs ?
EvilBadman: Tablespoon is tbsp not Tbps
DoodlestheGreat: Well, at least YOU get to use ml...
TXC2: (answer is latin, becuase of fucking course it is)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 From my understanding part of the reason we know so much more about that might be purely document preservation bias, Athens ended up with more things copied by Muslim scholars and other places were more thoroughly destroyed. Keep in mind this isn't my focus
Julian_Rogue: TPS is also ticks per second for minecraft
EvilBadman: But it's hell for dyslexia
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 ......Goddamnit of course it is
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig fair point
e_bloc: stop everything
LordZarano: An 128TB microSD would fit in a Tbsp and be a Terabit
vinewood_og: We know our lane
kingandcommoner: TBF, checkpoint did just say they were Close to the same abberviation
LordZarano: *GB
EvilBadman: @kingandcommoner Table franks?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Fuck the imperial measurement system!
Lysander_salamander: google is so terrible it'll move the letters around to give you the wrong websites
kingandcommoner: @EvilBadman Ten Bull Frogs
EvilBadman: Ohhhh
DoodlestheGreat: They must not have gone after Hello Games, since I had no issue with No Man's Sky that day.
Thefluffiestguineapig: People who do this who are super invested in just the money will do this to hospitals, but doing this to gaming companies go for it
Thefluffiestguineapig: I fear it is a proof of concept
Lord_Hosk: @Thefluffiestguineapig My history teacher always explained it more as what TXC2 said. Because it was a good contrast to Athens. Athens was a republic, Sparta was a kingdom, Athens embraced wisdom and learning Sparta embraced militarism... and so on. Where as Thebes and Corinth were very similar to Athens in most respects.
EvilBadman: It does show a pretty big spotlight on "hey what happens to my games if steam just fucking died"
RockPusher: Games are unlikely to put pressure on the FBI to kick in your door
RockPusher: unlike, say, a hospital
Thefluffiestguineapig: The gaming companies probably have more robust security to crack
LordZarano: DDoSs aren't about breaking security. It's just a sheer volume flood
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Thing with the hospital is they will get you the money rapidly if you lock them out of their systems, you can dictate in what currency etc.
SocraticMethod: I don't think the buyers for botnet look for it in CNN front pages TBH
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano Ah, so it works differently than the hospital thing I was referencing, never mind
SocraticMethod: It's more likely they showed the proof that they had a C&C available and advertise it in dark net
LordZarano: @Thefluffiestguineapig Ah yeah that's ransomware
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano Yeah, that was my mistake. Welcome to I don't know in depth computer stuff
RockPusher: We know what the hell happened - IoT security is non existant
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Yeah, more than likely they have the piles of money just to make it go away without anyone noticing

TXC2: the ironic blue
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 More accurate TBH
TheMerricat: "“From the moment the console powers on and the DualSense controller lights up, that signature blue glow signals the start of something special. It’s the spark that draws you into new worlds and immersive gameplay. Inspired by PlayStation’s iconic shades of blue, this design captures the feeling of anticipation and wonder every time you pick up the controller. As a nod to our origins, we added Katakana characters on the back that spell our name the Japanese way: Pureisutēshon.“"
accountmadeforants: I have both an extremely blue Xbox controller and a transparent blue PS4 controller
EvilBadman: The blue they controller
e_bloc: looks like you blue your controller
RockPusher: Need the bluest controller that Anish Kapoor is not allowed to use
Flyingdelorion: 50 shades of blue?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Like that one area in Hollow Knight?
EvilBadman: What if the interior had like a orange hood
e_bloc: I'm blue, da-ba-dee, da-ba-di
Wolfstrike_NL: And have blue by eiffel65 playing whenever the controller is held
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheAinMAP I would buy official LRR merch as a controller cover
TheMerricat: So the weird thing to me, I realize that Sony used blue in things related to Playstation, but I never really identified their 'iconic' color as Blue.
EvilBadman: Are they punning Iconic since the trackpad has the small button logos?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat I never really thought of Playstation having an iconic color in the same way as X-Box having that one specific green
TheMerricat: Appearently they've trademarked a specific color of blue as "PlayStation Blue"
EvilBadman: Playstation's iconic color to me is either the ps1 grey or the other consoles [black]
TXC2: EvilBadman same
TheMerricat: @EvilBadman This.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Coming soon to TTSF
TXC2:
what colours did they use in Hyper Dimension Neptunia? 
ratbabyonline: are they gonna do red yellow and green next to get the whole ps1 logo?
EvilBadman: not unheard of, ps controller has speakers and the lights can reflect stuff like police colors in GTA
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline Are they doing this prior to re-releasing ps1 games or some kind of "iconic games" package? i'm so disgusted with myself that I thought of that
EvilBadman: Ghost of Yotei sure loves using it
Thefluffiestguineapig: A couple of games used a microphone (Alien Isolation had an option to use it I think)
LordZarano: The original design of the Steam Controller had a screen in the middle for macro buttons
Lysander_salamander: new ghostbusters game?
Lysander_salamander: Frighteners?
CaptainSpam: I found it really weird that the "real" version was only on the app, leaving this weird, disjointed version the "public-facing" one.
Lysander_salamander: Oh, pikimin
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is this the ARG game they had Kojima make?
Thefluffiestguineapig: If so I'm kind of on board?
kingandcommoner: It's like the 24 hour pokemon stream that had an empty forest scene for 90% of it
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner I'm sorry, I think I'm not online enough to know what you're referencing
ratbabyonline: we had not actually seen... people in pikmin.. just giant debris of humanity
CaptainSpam: The only place I've heard of the "Pikmin are invisible" bit is from Pikmin Bloom as an excuse to why you only see them in-app.
CaptainSpam: Pikmin 4 wasn't that long ago!
kingandcommoner: @Thefluffiestguineapig This was back before Sword and Shield, I think.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner That is a deeply weird thing for Nintendo to do but it's kind of neat
ratbabyonline: @CaptainSpam pikmin 4 was 20 years ago. feel old yet?
CaptainSpam: @ratbabyonline But it's Sonic's 30th anniversary!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline I have arthritis, I feel old constantly
ratbabyonline: its been sonics 30th anniversary for years
LordZarano: @LordZarano They found that looking down at the controller screen took people out of the game, so they developed an on-screen display to mirror the controller's screen. Then since the buttons were shown on the TV, the controller screen was pointless so they removed it
Wolfstrike_NL: It was announced during the Feb 5 2025 Direct
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig Back in 2019, they did a 24 hour stream to promote Pokémon Sword and Shield. They _meant_ it to just be a faux nature cam (i.e. just a mostly uneventful shot of forest scenery from the game) every now and then a pokemon would peak out. The 'big' announcement part of it was the inclusion of a specific horse pokemon. It... didn't go over well IIRC.
kingandcommoner: Nintendo will never give up a way to make money, if they can spread their ads further, they'll gake it
ArcOfTheConclave: lul
kingandcommoner: I can't wait for a direct to say "If you open you're Nintendo Today App now, you'll be able to watch the trailer with us in real time"

SocraticMethod: EC is the executive branch of EU,
Veggiekeks: The European commission is the administrative body of the affairs of the european union
Flyingdelorion: The European Commission is the EU’s main executive body. It proposes legislation, upholds EU treaties and ensures Member States apply EU law and policies. The Commission manages the EU's budget and negotiates international agreements on behalf of the EU.
Wolfstrike_NL:

DoodlestheGreat: And?
Lysander_salamander: yay
Thefluffiestguineapig: Great, I'm glad

vinewood_og: Charles "Enshittification" Cheese
Lysander_salamander: I kind of miss arcades
ratbabyonline: BC's top arcade... the ones on BC Ferries
RockPusher:
What we need is a form of government issued token worth a set value 
SocraticMethod: I'm pretty sure if they could exchange the tokens back to cash it would be straight gambling, like pachinko
vancouverbynight: Rec Room is pretty good if you're looking for an Arcade that you can drink at.
CaptainSpam: The only place I've seen tokens done all right is a barcade in Michigan, where the machines work on EITHER quarters or tokens, and you're only given tokens for ordering drinks and food. You get quarters from the change machines.
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: These days it's all machines isn't it? Like there isn't a person handling the tokens, you just put money in the token machine and g et tokens
accountmadeforants: Their stupid fake money buckets is what made sure I would never buy SF6 skins. (That and the insane prices compared to SF5)
ratbabyonline: @SocraticMethod i think that only applies if youre winning tokens back
ratbabyonline: otherwise theres no prize
ratbabyonline: it's just a refund
accountmadeforants: *outrageous, not insane
Lysander_salamander: Cry harder about not being able to purchase your seventh mega-yacht.
SocraticMethod: @ratbabyonline That's what I though Beej's story was about? Quarters -> tokens -> prizes
Thefluffiestguineapig: So what
Lord_Hosk: The reason that was always given to us growing up in SE michigan was that Canadian Quarters worked in the Machines the same as American quarters, and a US Dollar buys you almost 6 Canadian Quarters
Invitare: yeah, the EU is surprisingly pro-consumer. Really you'd have to be mad to leave it...
Thefluffiestguineapig: Next you'll whine about monopoly laws being enforced
ratbabyonline: @SocraticMethod no it was that you used to get quarters for your dollars to play the arcade machine, but then places swapped to giving you tokens to put into them instead, that can only be used at the arcade
tdapenguin: the switch to 'armband that you scan' away from 'a set of tickets that you have in your grubby hands' at fairs annoys me. Please let me hand the tickets I bought but haven't used to someone walking in. (i know this is precisely why they don't want to do this)
saiarcot895: unless it's Microsoft, in which case they'll make something custom just for EU
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!)
SocraticMethod: @ratbabyonline Ah, that kind of tokens
50keyz: the facebook-ification of linkedin continues
Lysander_salamander: oh, on linkedin of all places
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tdapenguin Wait, that would also mean no hoarding probably
LordZarano: If in game currency was 1:1 with a real world currency and you could buy exact amounts maybe they'd have an argument. But it's not, it's always obfuscated so you don't know how much you're spending, and yeah the amounts that don't align with costs
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: The Witcher just has normal DLC
LordZarano: James & crew don't play Bedrock version
Thefluffiestguineapig: Witcher doesn't have in game currency
tdapenguin: @Thefluffiestguineapig yup! also, the armband can be limited to a specific day and not just the whole run
tdapenguin: @Thefluffiestguineapig that's what i thought!!!!
TheMerricat: _Gwent_ the online collectable card game that stemmed from Witcher _had_ digital currency. But otherwise.
spurius: is not like thy will stop making money, it is just they will have to surface more the actual cost
CaptainSpam: Bedrock Edition has skins available for just straight cash, not Minecash or whatnot, right?
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: How does Minecraft make money these days? Just selling their license for toys and movies?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tdapenguin It has super well written DLC and grinding like games intended
DoodlestheGreat: And FOMO
BlueFingers5: well said Heather
50keyz: 100% Heather, well said!
CaptainSpam: @LaLa_FKA_BobTH Bedrock Edition's got quite a bit of skins and such for sale.
vancouverbynight: Free market bullshit.
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: @CaptainSpam Is this a new thing? I don't follow minecraft super close but that's one I've never heard of
Lysander_salamander: "we've investigated it internally and find nothing wrong."
TheMerricat: @CaptainSpam I don't know if they have direct purchase options, but they DO have a currency that you are suppose to use to buy stuff.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Self regulation is what gets professional wrestlers no health insurance
kingandcommoner: How far are we from Sk8t?
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: I'm all for crazy characters in SKATE games
LordZarano: @LaLa_FKA_BobTH Realms, their server hosting service, is another way
Lysander_salamander: It looks like a cardboard costume
CaptainSpam: @LaLa_FKA_BobTH It's been that way for a while now. Notably, this is ONLY Bedrock Edition, not Java Edition.
vancouverbynight: D3ad S8
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: @LordZarano ah cool
accountmadeforants:
Meanwhile, the EU also ruled that meat-replacement products can't be named after meat products. So rather than sausages, they could be "tubes". It is not all fun and games 
vinewood_og: I mean congrats to the 30 people that's for I guess
tdapenguin: @Lysander_salamander also, we filed the report about this topic in the shredder -- i mean, its a business secret -- so you cannot see it
tdapenguin: truck is part of a skatebord
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: @CaptainSpam oh interesting
Thefluffiestguineapig: kay
Lysander_salamander: eugh
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's so much money
accountmadeforants: Thats more than a whole Silksong
Lysander_salamander: There's Skatebird, so it's a step in the right direction
SocraticMethod: Isaac Clarke was in Skate 3 and with much better execution
LaLa_FKA_BobTH: idk I just really don't care if these companies want to sell incredibly over priced skins to people who are dumb enough to buy them, better than the other options where actual features are locked behind paywalls
TheMerricat:
Speaking of Dead Space - gift for chat - Leftover from this month's Humble Choice: Codefall | System Shock - Retail (ROW) (Steam) https://pump19.eu/codefall/kscoqy
ArcOfTheConclave: Skate horse! skate horse! the thoroughbred of sick!
Lysander_salamander: I think there was a skateboarding section in one of the Goat Simulators
kingandcommoner: Isaac Clarke and his big stompy boot
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Lysander_salamander There's a skate park in the original, no idea if you can get a skate board in the original
EvilBadman: Voided out Necromorphs
Lysander_salamander: so cute!
SocraticMethod: *Cheeked out* Spider-man!
Lysander_salamander: The macro fans are really having funs
vancouverbynight: How does Spider-man clean the bugs off his eyes when he's swinging by that fast...
Lysander_salamander: I prefer calling it bullet-heaven as a genre instead of survivor-like
EvilBadman: I've heard Japan folks call it a mowing game
Thefluffiestguineapig: Mercy
Lysander_salamander: I saw a game that gives you the option to add even more particle effects in the graphics options.
kingandcommoner: I've seen people play Bloons TD6, I think i can handle it
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Lysander_salamander WHY
Thefluffiestguineapig: Your computer would just explode
EvilBadman: and it thought this was going to segue into a Megabonk story
Lysander_salamander: there should be a "bitmosh" option for twitch categories
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think All of those should have flashing effects warnings

Thefluffiestguineapig: Or games preservation?
Thefluffiestguineapig: GEE who'd have thought
LordZarano: And then there's Whisper Mountain Outbreak that was on AFK that's like $10 and only 1 of the 4 players needs the game cause the demo works with multiplayer. Never seen that before, neat way of doing it
TheMerricat: vampire power.
Thefluffiestguineapig: The more research is done the more things they prove "oh the sustainable option is actually better for everyone"
50keyz: phantom power?
50keyz: @tdapenguin whoa whoa whoa slow down einstein
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano They played a game on CTS a while ago called Midnight Murder Club that did something similar and it's a super cool thing, where one person buys the game and can just invite everyone to try it
tdapenguin: @50keyz i konw, it's such a wild idea
RockPusher:
But if you optimise the game it might not make my computer heat my house anymore! 
kingandcommoner: Gonna port Balatro into Coutner Strike 5 just ot prove you right
Lysander_salamander: I miss when people wore headphones
ArcOfTheConclave: do they take off the masks?
Lysander_salamander: Oh I forgot there's another Hyrule Warriors
EvilBadman: most of them were unnamed, iirc
Thefluffiestguineapig: hehehehehheeh
Lysander_salamander: ohhhh
Lord_Hosk: The little bits help... if everyone unplugged all their TVs in North America. We would save the equivalent of one homes worth of AC running in July. Meanwhile your local big box store has its AC set to 65, and the Grocery store has milk and meat in open refrigeration shelves because if they are behind doors people buy less. But sure... unplug your tv to save the planet. (screams in consummer responcibility)
Lysander_salamander: fanfic writers are going to have fun
ArcOfTheConclave: is the maid The First Shikah tm
kingandcommoner: Body Pillow when?
Bruceski: I want her weapon to be just hitting monsters with other monsters
Lysander_salamander: like in the second game, where there's some fun stuff in the second half that they didn't advertize
accountmadeforants: But surely they can bring Linkle back
lightfut: We can rebuild him, we have the technology
Invitare: he was
accountmadeforants: Korok wearing a very realistic physical Korok costume
Lysander_salamander: Koroks are weird fae that enjoy screwing with people
Invitare: makes you wonder how the Koroks normally survive, given how frequently they get themselves stuck places
saucemaster5000: tbf they are lil plants -- getting stuck in place is what they do
Invitare: triffids
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Lysander_salamander You just described fae
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Invitare Unless they are just pretending to be stuck to see who comes along for them to mess with
50keyz: topical DLC? like hawaii?
Invitare: @Thefluffiestguineapig Turns out all of Hyrule knows about them, but pretend they don't because they've all learned it's more trouble than it's worth
Lysander_salamander: yeah, they're like that yokai that likes to pretend they need to be carried and then get magically heavier
Thefluffiestguineapig: Merciful fuck WHAT
SquareDotCube: For context I believe the maid is who left the tales on the standing stones in the sky
accountmadeforants: SF6 has had a bunch of weird collabs with old properties (usually just in the form of some titles and costumes for your avatar that nobody who plays the game looks at)
Thefluffiestguineapig: I want to know who on the SF team proposed this
accountmadeforants: SF6 also had a collab with Pop Team Epic
Lysander_salamander: interesting
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants I would argue this is weirder
SquareDotCube: Sound novels are fascinating
SquareDotCube: They're often horror themed
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SquareDotCube Makes sense since that's the genre where creators take weird swings in very different kinds of mediums
kdefinition: I just watched a retrospective on Otogiriso, which is the "sound novel" from Chunsoft from before Banshee's Cry
Lysander_salamander: someone's fan-remaster that they've been tinkering with for years
Thefluffiestguineapig: I want to know who on the SF6 team proposed this and why
SquareDotCube: Chunsoft's like HAL Laboratory, they make whatever they want and it results in titles you wouldn't expect
TheMerricat: God I still can't believe he made it to the Far Lands.
Juliamon: The moment was so cool
Juliamon:
I definitely wasn't watching when he got there in the middle of the highlight reel during LRL 
LordZarano: During the highlight reel on Loading Ready Live in fact
Thefluffiestguineapig: I cannot imagine the noise complaint inducing pop off
TheMerricat: Minecraft stores things in floating point numbers, which as they get larger lose precision. The Far Lands is when you get out to the point where the coordinates get large enough that the lost precision starts breaking down the world gen
tdapenguin: @TheMerricat wow
LordZarano: I was watching both, or trying to
RealGamerCow: That is dedication
Juliamon: It was cool watching him try to navigate the border, with the floating point issue making his avatar jump around
KaleidoscopeMind: some years gay?
kingandcommoner: Bad idea. Source: I've seen Wolf Creek
LordZarano: Beta 1.7.3
LordZarano: Which was years before release version 1.7.0
Thefluffiestguineapig: YEESH
tdapenguin: @kingandcommoner the probability of an asteroid hitting a second time in the same place is small, so surely it won't be a problem?
TheMerricat: Note: While they 'fixed' the issues with world gen so that the weird stuff that create the Far Lands, they didn't and can't fix the underlying issues with using floating point numbers for things like coordinates, so if you go out where they the Far Lands would be, you still have to deal with the rest of the glitches.
Thefluffiestguineapig: hehehehehehehe
Thefluffiestguineapig: Kojima couldn't craft that kind of experience
RealGamerCow: So roughly walking across North America, if it's 40 days of walking(960 hours)
TheMerricat: Skyrim feels like it's Disneyland sized.
kingandcommoner: It's like Final Fantasy 7, you grow a lot bigger in the world map
TheMerricat: 40.075 million m
tdapenguin: 6.4Mm x pi
RealGamerCow: On the same topic, I'm curious what American Truck Simulator is going to do when it gets to east coast states, considering you can drive the length of California in about 30 minutes.
Flamennight: 40k KM is earth's circumference
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RealGamerCow Once they add in round a bouts that 30 minutes is going to become 5 hours
TheMerricat:
@Thefluffiestguineapig 
tdapenguin: danggit, i'm off by 2!!! circumfrance = 2pi x 6.4 Mm
Wolfstrike_NL: So he did it in 40 irl days, which is 960h, over 14 years, so about 68.5h per year, which is about 5h45minuts per month? How was this denoted as "Not doable"
kingandcommoner: The door opens in your TV and steve comes into your living room
accountmadeforants: You walk out to exit that weird golden cube game Molyneux made
LordZarano: Modern Minecraft has a border at 30 million blocks that's a big glowy semi-transparent wall
TheMerricat:
@Wolfstrike_NL When they started, things like punch-a-chunk weren't known. The internet gravely underestimated Minecraft's sticking power.

Lord_Hosk: I had a running joke that there was a secret prize in pubg that if all 100 players reached the final circle without shooting each other, everyone won a $100,000 and there was one guy watching every match going "they almost... nope... nope nope nope not this one nope"
TheMerricat: But Heather, did it really ever go up?
tdapenguin: @Lord_Hosk ha!
Wolfstrike_NL: We should start a LRR-oversight commision to file idea's towards
