RealGamerCow: EA has a launcher?
calculated_uncertainties: @e_bloc I thought Ian was why, but Heather makes sense too.
jessicaengle: @e_bloc When you put it that way it sounds like a bit of a conflict of interest
nevermore913: Heather does YouTube magic
e_bloc: @jessicaengle why do you think Heather still works here?
Bruceski: If Heather messes something up then she has to tell Heather, and then Heather gets mad at Heather, so she doesn't do that.
e_bloc: @RealGamerCow 1A and 1B
jessicaengle: @e_bloc Regular Crispy Day?
e_bloc: @calculated_uncertainties 1A & 1B
adept_nekomancer: It should be illegal to show a popup without a "never show me this popup again" box to check.
e_bloc: power overwhelming
nevermore913: In mega mode we should get to play as mega man
adept_nekomancer: You can have your choice of red scarf
RatherLargeToad: Must get tiny hat
Gaz_L: Gives 70s Kamen Rider
TheTekkieman: She said "please", too.
e_bloc: I often choose female protags because that was rare growing up and I like the novelty
e_bloc: I guess it's not novel anymore
RatherLargeToad: The one you don’t pick will be your navigator and have voiced lines
MWGNZ: fighting the Minsane Clown Posse?
Gaz_L: Welcome to the Velvet Room
ArdCollider: shen yun
calculated_uncertainties: @Gaz_L The goggles definitely gave p4 vibe
BusTed: cute
Shadowsoflife: @Gaz_L *ques aria of the soul*
ghizmou: so digimon stands for digital monster, hope that helps
Masslost: digmon is extremly anime
e_bloc: I just assumed it was the same thing as pokemon
adept_nekomancer: So what I gather from this is that we're going to go catch the Loch Ness monster, but it's secretly a digimon
Gaz_L: I should watch this week's ep of Digimon Beatbreak
calculated_uncertainties: Nessie is a goose.
e_bloc: can we get some mothman up in here
ArdCollider: this is the Godzilla movie from a few years' ago opening but for digimon
nevermore913: Digging this art
Gaz_L: One (1) stocking
IanAllenBird: the best way to keep a secret is to talk about it in a heavily populated area on speakerphone
seanmrwick: glorious
adept_nekomancer: Adam, Adamra, Adamaga
Voidhawk42: xX_Adama_Xx
e_bloc: no. Adamas is the annual celebration of Savidan's birthday
Shadowsoflife: Archadam
Anubis169: ooo Classic?
seanmrwick: why does this exist?
e_bloc: this holograph could have been a bluetooth earbud
seanmrwick: it looks like a Motorola razor
ArdCollider: Ian would notice immediately.
SaxPython:
"That one I used to like back in the day" is a great name for an anime
Sogheim: I think I remember this intersection from Cyber Sleuth
seanmrwick: hahahaha
adept_nekomancer: Based upon Ian's Yakuza streams, I'm assuming the next thing we need to do is karaoke.
control_rig: It was a better attraction when it was the Wall of Despair, but then they rebranded
Gaz_L: Kabukicho
Driosenth: This Place is a Message
control_rig: "No Pressure"
Bruceski: The protest at the Wall of Hope became a lot peppier when the E fell off
Boopity: Despair is old news. Apparently the kids are obsessed with *squints* hundred lines right now
Gaz_L: Faith, hop and charity
adept_nekomancer: @Bruceski But then the "h" also fell off, and the protest was deemed too powerful.
Cptasparagus: ah the military news complex
e_bloc: my 5 year old hit me with "6-7" today and now I know I am officialy old
Bruceski: @e_bloc Adults are weirded out by 6-7 because in memetic power 6-7 8 6-9.
accountmadeforants: "Alright, now go to the next location and give me a jumping jack"
e_bloc: 3
Voidhawk42: Less than 10
v_nome: 3-5 I think?
accountmadeforants: A handful is 3-5 to me
e_bloc: and I have big hands
RatherLargeToad: so an anomalous amount of anomalies?
Gaz_L: Yeah, im with Beej
adept_nekomancer: "a handful of" is the same as "several" to me.
accountmadeforants: Yeah it's the five fingers thing to me. And it can't be one or two.
e_bloc: definitely more than 2 but less than 10
Boopity:
I guess it depends on the size of the object. Which makes handful a pretty unreliable descriptor 
RatherLargeToad: now a pinch is…
accountmadeforants: Unless it's volume, in which case it's a literal handful
e_bloc: please give me a footful of apples
Bruceski: "Several" can vary if you're countaing grains of rice or bullet wounds
RatherLargeToad: Brutusmon, attack!
adept_nekomancer: What digimon do I blame the current state of 2025 on?
accountmadeforants: Et tu Brutegreymon
The_Voices: saltmon?
Boopity: If digimon are... digital, what does that imply for their existence before technology was invented?
accountmadeforants: @Boopity Then they were just monsters on our digits
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!)
Boopity:
@accountmadeforants 
e_bloc: ok the hologrom is cool, but is there any information they provide that couldn't just be audio
Shadowsoflife: idle animation
e_bloc: too woke for me
Masslost: and this is how attack on titan started
Boopity: He does it for the aesthetic! It's important!
adept_nekomancer: "Oh good, the tremor knocked over the ankle-high barrier."
Gaz_L: You forgot to turn on bluetooth
e_bloc: why would you have speakers in your gloves
ArdCollider: he's like Fujimi in Kamen Rider Zeztz. He is *all in* whether or not you want to be.
Slacker1977:
Digimon Storytime 
The_Voices: wayback internet!
silenceaux: "Oh, that video will be hosted up there forever, I don't need to download it" -Me, lying to myself on a daily basis
e_bloc: talking about shaft? I can dig it
accountmadeforants: Are we about to enter the Thunderdome or start the plot of the Running Man?
silenceaux: Cuties!!
Boopity: @silenceaux A staunch difference to me "if I truly value this video with my entire soul, I must archive it immediately and store it locally for posterity"
Slacker1977: @accountmadeforants this might be more Timecop
AMuseOfFirebane: Beelzemon
Slacker1977: Beelzebubmon?
Shadowsoflife: ^
accountmadeforants:
@Slacker1977 
Well then
silenceaux: @Boopity You are growing with a pure hearted outlook
adept_nekomancer: And you know that there have been *very* heated e-mail thread about the name.
Boopity: Do you think they argued about spelling and pronunciation?
Shadowsoflife: Yes
accountmadeforants: You wouldn't download a gun
Diabore: Beej is right, beelstarmon is the nearly nude one full of ubderboob
KaleidoscopeMind: obviously gunmon
Boon_33: digigun, digital gun, digigun wants your wallet.
adept_nekomancer: Aww... patamon is adorable
Shadowsoflife: TK
The_Voices: matt's brother
KaleidoscopeMind: Gomamon! FRIEND
The_Voices: tai had the sister
Boopity:
RatherLargeToad: So Angel, demon, or furry Viking
silenceaux: Data / Virus / Vaccine split, I see.
Gaz_L: I mean, in JP he was Jou
Shadowsoflife: @The_Voices Kari
Sogheim: Patamon!
KaleidoscopeMind: feels *almost* Zeus/Hades/Poseidon coded I guess?
The_Voices: @Shadowsoflife i know, i have a watch party later, and a friend that loves the digimon games
kusinohki: always start with pikachumon
Slacker1977: she finally had a response
KaleidoscopeMind: LOL
Boopity: Gun!
silenceaux: it IS a gun!!
Slacker1977: it IS a gun
BusTed: huh
adept_nekomancer: Fire the digigun!
Boopity:
That was _so_ dramatic I am here for this
Shadowsoflife: @The_Voices Neat
e_bloc: I see the phone was made in america
Masslost: its boom bubble time
accountmadeforants:
Darleysam: a gun that shoots digimon! But not like that!
Mnemonicman: We will defeat them with the power of friendship and this gun I found.
e_bloc: yeah you can buy those from walmart in Virginia
BusTed: An interesting statement
Shadowsoflife: When did this become RWBY?
Voidhawk42: I'll defeat you with the power of Digimon! And this gun I found!""
Gaz_L: Didn't Kamen Rider 555 have a phone/gun?
Boopity: I assume the game's going to be skipping this animation from now on, but keep in mind, we do that _literally_ every time we summon a digimon
kusinohki: and they didn't call it a digi-gun??
Gaz_L: 3 in battle at one time
accountmadeforants: Okay, so I've been meaning to ask, but is our character just Elizabeth from P3 but mint-coloured?
Boopity: Oh right, Digimon talk
Slacker1977: they are very capable of conversation
Gaz_L: Yeah, Digimon are sapient beings who talk
Dalrint: They also all generally digivolve into buff dudes and sexy ladies
Boopity: Some of the Digimon lowkey raise the kids
ArdCollider: as a Destiny player I'm just like "is this the train tunnel in Warden?"
kingandcommoner: Of course digimon can talk, how else would we learn their names?
Diabore: Yeah digimon have a whole ass society
Sogheim: Impmon!
kingandcommoner: Just wait until you learn about digi-dollars
accountmadeforants: Resistance is futile, etc.
Boopity:
I also resist my allergies, and yet here I am 
e_bloc: their resistance is damnit accountmadeforants
Slacker1977: how many cents canadian is 10 yen?
Gaz_L: There's the data/vaccine/virus matrix but elements also matter as do phys or magic
accountmadeforants: And for our neutral special, we wield a gun
Gaz_L: Basically if you would win in 1 turn, you just win
adept_nekomancer: Just a bin of... texture
Gaz_L: Yes
e_bloc: why are people shitting in boxes
Slacker1977: this reminds me of the "early"mines in FF XII
Boopity: @e_bloc What is a toilet if not a box made for shitting
e_bloc: @Boopity truer words have never been spoken
Boopity:
Oh wow
IanAllenBird: do it!
Gaz_L: You're only on one stocking, what if you rip it?
adept_nekomancer: Just firing the little guy out of the gun at things
Boopity: "Do it!" *EXPLOSION*
kingandcommoner: Time to play Crash Bandicoot
Slacker1977: yowzers
NorthstarTex:
Blue metal greymon! 
Boopity:
Voidhawk42: We crash bandicoot now
e_bloc: weird but I'll allow it
SquareDotCube: just... crumple to the ground
RatherLargeToad: now play the Crash Bandicoot music
Bruceski: New Crash game got weird
Boopity: Sick dodge!
kingandcommoner: what if we held hands...in the abandoned subway?
paulthemapguy: we're making Digimon out of Gundamium now?
Boopity: Oh... she knows us
Bruceski: New game who dis?
e_bloc: no time for exposition, monster things
kingandcommoner: @paulthemapguy digichromozoid actually
NorthstarTex:
yes, friends 
ArdCollider: it's like she's just getting you away from a catcaller and not some giant-ass digimon
Masslost: we're we at band camp together would be the best prompt to appear
Gaz_L: Wait, she knows us but we don't know her... maybe she's a stranger... because of time...?
silenceaux: He, who? Jack Frost, maybe.
RatherLargeToad: you’ve created a paradox!
Boopity: I guess you could say she's... a time stranger
kingandcommoner: this version hasn't met ashii yet
NorthstarTex: Timetravel? What? No, couldn't be about time travel...I think
RatherLargeToad: love a good bootstrap paradox
Shadowsoflife: @silenceaux He ho
SaxPython: @Shadowsoflife excellent. That got me
Shadowsoflife: @SaxPython XD
Gaz_L: We were to investigate and we got a call for help
Shadowsoflife: @Shadowsoflife Had to
Gaz_L: But thou must
SaxPython:
TheAinMAP:
adept_nekomancer: "A door? Sounds like a problem for gun!"
kingandcommoner: did you just launch patamon like a rocket?
NorthstarTex: Patamon knows how to breach and clear apparently
Gaz_L: GTBP for short
RatherLargeToad: Flight attendant smash puny door
Slacker1977: maybe we could call her "ward"?
kusinohki: first name mysterious. last name girl
Boopity: It all comes down to Millennium Tower
kusinohki: of the new hampshire girl to be protected
Slacker1977: Shin Megami Tensei rules NOTED
adept_nekomancer: Oh no, it's Pokemon Go's "turn them into candy"
Dalrint: they're less like TMs and more like equipment
Gaz_L: Yeah it's more SMT than Pokemon
Slacker1977: i bet that's for "converting"
CaptainCoriale: They're going to a nice server farm upstate
Shadowsoflife: @Gaz_L or persona
Boopity:
@Shadowsoflife Already well on the track to Persona 5 with the "social unrest causing anomalies" thing
Slacker1977: in Cybersleuth they hada Cyber-island
Shadowsoflife: Oh, indeed @Boopity
Boopity: Our phone is so stacked
Makoforte: So I will say you are kind of jumping into the third game in a series.
Slacker1977: Neo Tokyo is about to explode
Gaz_L: Patamon has wings?
NorthstarTex: Baw gawd, that's Omnimon!
Boon_33:
I remember this from MGS: revengence
Slacker1977: Greymon (Blue). What is it?
kingandcommoner: Omegamon definitely needs your help patamon
Boopity: Patamon: "I'm helping"
NorthstarTex: patamon is trying
Bruceski: Patamon's the Shake and Bake kid in this scenario.
kingandcommoner: to be fair, palling around with stronger digimon was patamon's gimik for a lot of the orriginal series
Gaz_L: One item per turn only though
Makoforte: Patamon is a datatype, MetalGreymon is virus type
adept_nekomancer: More drugs!
Makoforte: but yes you're really in the tutorial phase still
Bruceski: Do we lose if Patamon faints, because clearly we're necessary here?
Makoforte: also omnimon is cool as shit
paulthemapguy: "here goes nothing" well it wasn't QUITE nothing...
adept_nekomancer: We only need to kill like a dozen dinosaurs to get lunch!
Gaz_L: Free xp from the high level carry
SquareDotCube: we can almost play an arcade game!
SaxPython: #BlastingOffAgain
Boopity:
Welp. Sounds like mystery girl knows him. And she knows us. So she's assuming we also remember who that Digimon was
Boopity: >:(
paulthemapguy: Thats not a Digimon...it's a space station!
adept_nekomancer: Apparently we can talk with Patamon (or so I would believe from the text bubble prompt)
Boopity: Oh wow, that explains where JRPGs are so good at dungeon design.
RatherLargeToad: Godzillaproofing your architecture
gualdhar: too bad New York didn't have that technology in 2001
Boon_33: cool story
Slacker1977: qunatum lifeforms 🤔
Makoforte: But yeah this definitely has connections to the as the Cyber Sleuth duology, and if you wanna play this one, I recommend playing them first, but there's also some ties to some of the games that never came out in english but have patches.
SquareDotCube: It's always the Tokyo Tower, the Tokyo Metro or the Diet
Boon_33: the digimon can also dice veggies and make coffee.
paulthemapguy: DNA is kind of like code in base 4, so not that far off of real life
Voidhawk42: "We call this digi-pregnate"
Boopity: You wouldn't download a Digimon
Makoforte: (Cyber Sleuth is the best PS1 Persona game since Eternal Punishment)
Gaz_L: Yes
Boopity:
adept_nekomancer: You did. But it was funny.
Dog_of_Myth:
Slacker1977:
i thought that was intended 
Marvoleath: !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!)
schordash: we look like the gijinka of a peppermint aero bar
Makoforte: (anyway i will now shut up about being the digimon obsessed weirdo)
poipal:
@Boopity Did you know that ad stole the fonts it used, which makes it even funnier
RonaldMcDownload: scan rate goes up with each complete battle
Gaz_L: Yes, each one you kill gives some scan
Boopity:
@poipal I did not, thank you for this amazing fun fact
kingandcommoner: If it's like Cybversleuth, it just ticks up a few percent each fight
Diabore: nope, you get x amount when you murder
NorthstarTex: yep, just repeating the battles
Makoforte: Each time you win, the scan rate goes up. The lower rank the digimon the quicker the scan rate builds.
RonaldMcDownload: i hate it
silenceaux: ~fresh
paulthemapguy: disembodiedheadomon
Boopity:
kusinohki: ranodm thought - knowing next to nothing about digimon, how well would a tron and digimon crossover make sense??
Diabore: we... we just read this game
Diabore: bonus hp
Makoforte: @kusinohki pretty easily
NorthstarTex: 200% = higher stats
calculated_uncertainties: once you turn them into a slurry, you can make your own!
RatherLargeToad: so only convert at 200%, got it
Territan: If you see something, attack something.
Makoforte: like all heroes never run from a combat except when you should.
Boopity: Adorable
Boopity:
Also mysterious gril is following you
adept_nekomancer: Time to lead a herd of little critters around!
Gaz_L:
All your active party follow
Makoforte: Operator Dan is not good at his job....
paulthemapguy: one of the nomblies did it
RonaldMcDownload: used up the tarp budget
Diabore: well its also to keep the things in
Territan: "Anomalies" sounds a little aggressive. How about we call them "large-magnitude whoopsie-doodles"?
RockPusher: tarp is used to hide it from you, wall is used to hide you from it
Territan: WHAT roof?
Sogheim: I hope we get to see Numemon. they'll love Numemon.
paulthemapguy: tarps on tarps on tarps
Boopity: "Cast aside common sense here." is an amazing sentencec
adept_nekomancer: @paulthemapguy We're gonna need a bigger tarp budget
Boopity:
OH. The personality is way more complicated than I thought
Makoforte: it's pretty simple, honestly
kusinohki: must increase friendship level with you soldier monsters...
paulthemapguy: Beej, upon encountering a song written in B major: "we're gonna need a bigger sharp budget"
Masslost: digmon stat farming is alot
KaleidoscopeMind: left-right axis appears to be "smart -- himbo"
Makoforte: the personality improves the stats you get on level up, you will have things you can do to influence it
Slacker1977: having the effects of your nature in-game is nice i will say
Makoforte: anyway you have enough to convert two digimon now
Boopity: Void cat! Void cat!
Sogheim: yeah, Wanyamon's not very strong, but it is a cat head
Diabore: so yeah its just bonus hp if you convert over 100%
adept_nekomancer: Just yeeted patamon at it enough times
farley_f: im waiting for Cryptomon who just generates credits for you
Gaz_L: Not just hp, talent (level cap)
Makoforte: you can switch between yor battle and reserve in game
Makoforte: real talk, heather: the recent digimon games *are* basically SMT games, in style and tone, just with digimon but digimon has also always had eldritch horrors and terrible things happening
ArdCollider: shinai
Gaz_L: Shinai
Makoforte: ~~and you can make lucifer kill for you~~
Boopity: I love these baby digimon that are all literally just "blob with eyes"
Dalrint: I love how happy patomon looks
Sogheim: @Makoforte they took the nun with a gun, though
RonaldMcDownload: no penis digimon riding chariots though, afaik
Makoforte: *nuns* technically, she had a digivolution. we get the devil lady with a gun instead.
Gaz_L: Even the ones in your box will get xp (just less)
Diabore: even digimon in the box get xp, so no needless grinding
Slacker1977: uuh
Makoforte: @RonaldMcDownload no you get literal shit robots instead.
breadisbest1 watched 7 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
Makoforte: @Gaz_L nope, same XP rate for all digimon in farm and in box
Makoforte: it's less generous than Cyber Sleuth, where the digimon in your farm got XP while you weren't playing
Gaz_L: @Makoforte I meant compared to active squad
Boopity: Uhhhh
Slacker1977: respectalbe dex-size
Makoforte: @Gaz_L I haven't found that to be the case? As far as I can tell, playing the game, I have been getting full XP for every digimon I have.
KaleidoscopeMind:
that last one is definitely mew 
Gaz_L: With prob about 50 more coming in DLC?
Makoforte: Also the violent nun-sisters were DLC in Cyber Sleuth IIRC, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are in this
kusinohki: that angle made it look like alphonse from FMA
Diabore: @Gaz_L iirc its 15, 5 per dlc pack (probably megas and up)
KaleidoscopeMind: valor? that's the courage symbol
Gaz_L: Aw. I was hoping for the Beatbreak crew
Diabore: koromon youre in the team
Gaz_L: Gekkomon is great, he's just a weird lil freak
Diabore: y for equipment and skills
Makoforte: (Also genuinely, the first thing I did upon seeing the digivice tutorial was my mind came up with a song about how it's definitely not a COMP, but then it turned into a Gun and Soul Hackers called it's glad someone is keeping up with tradition)
Gaz_L: (Tho i hate that we have Gekomon and Gekkomon now)
Makoforte: i like that sometimes a completely different digimon is 'Digimon (Color)' like. 'Coredramon (Blue)'
Sogheim: Coredramon (Green) represent!
SquareDotCube: ah, a typical clusterfuck of inconsistent UI decisions
Gaz_L: Triangle means weak to, i believe
Makoforte: if you scan it shows destructible items too
Makoforte: also you miiiight want to make a manual save, if the demo lets you.
SaxPython: the victory chords are really unsettling
Makoforte: god they're so cute....
RatherLargeToad:
you can take em 
paulthemapguy: That one, and definitely NOT the other giant one over there
nyoomgoom: oh dracomon is in this, hell yeah
Gaz_L: Woke napalm
LithelyUnshod subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 87 months!

SaxPython:
Boopity:
Playing with fire when you're weak to fire feels like you're asking for trouble tho
Boopity: Hell yeah Heather
SaxPython: Science!
KaleidoscopeMind: It's a let's try
Makoforte: always walk straight into death
Makoforte: psst you can scan enemies with LT
Slacker1977: ok this should go well
Boopity: This is fine
Boopity: oh
KaleidoscopeMind: lol
SaxPython: !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!)
Boopity:
12k
Sogheim: 28k damage, no big deal
Makoforte:
KaleidoscopeMind: we're fine - we did a debuff!
Slacker1977: i did not expect damage to go higher than 999
Gaz_L: We continue
Slacker1977: or maybe 4 digits
Gaz_L: For those who come after
Boopity: Still worth it
Diabore: they respawn quick
Makoforte: you can run past enemies if you want
Makoforte: some will chase, some won't
Gaz_L: You do gotta scoot past him
Diabore: if you spend about 40 hours grinding you might be able to take a hit
Boopity: Gotta juke him
nyoomgoom: ohhh chaosdramon, i remember that guy from digimon world 2. scary
Makoforte: also if you're in analyze mode you can choose which digimon you attack with your ambush button
SaxPython: Resist The Cube
schordash: get straight b o x e d, boi!
KaleidoscopeMind: "Well I have a super hyper infinity cannon!"
Slacker1977: it might be like Pokemon, where it's a chance to skip your turn
TheAinMAP: "Infinity times infinity cannon!"
Gaz_L: It's like Pokemon, paralyse doesn’t always affect you
Makoforte: Virus > Data > Vaccine are a weapon triangle
Boopity: Oh, interesting
Masslost: auto heal is kinda nice feature
Makoforte: there are free types, which are basically bows in fire emblem, and no data types because they're babies
Gaz_L: I like the heal mode because yeah it's usually just about long enough to take a drink or eat a chip or something
Makoforte: and you can't always use auto-heal in enemy rich areas
Makoforte: also pressing down on d-pad takes you straight to convert menu
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!)
SaxPython: See! it is Rhythm Cafe!
Makoforte: while you're in the field
Boopity: Milkshake time
Makoforte: digimon evolution works differently from pokemon evolution, heather
Makoforte: please look forward to it
Gaz_L: They can evolve differently tho
Makoforte: it doesn't hurt to have spare of the same digimon
paulthemapguy: Load enhancements? Like pineapple?
Gaz_L: You can lock them so you can't accidently mulch the wrong ones yeah
Raldavar: It's not permanent. You can go back and forth between evolutions and personality as often as you want. Experimenting isn't going to lock you into anything
KaleidoscopeMind: these are some very big words for a kids game
Boopity: @KaleidoscopeMind Honestly, this seems not as kids game as you would think. Definitely not Pokemon levels of kid, at the very least
Makoforte: yeah uh
Sogheim: in Cyber Sleuth, I did the long digivolution chains for skills and it is mind numbing trying to find the right paths.
Makoforte: the digimon games are kids shows in the same way ultraman nexus is a kids show
Makoforte: Reverse reverses an enemy's resistances
Diabore: reverses the damage triangle
Gaz_L: Character Reversal is so good
Makoforte: so if they're strong to an element they become weak to an element, and vice versa.
Makoforte: yup!
Makoforte: beej has it
Makoforte: kuramon my beloved tiny eyeball guy
Sogheim: it is!
Makoforte: also i will say: digimon rank matters. a rookie of the same level will be much stronger than an in training of the same level
KaleidoscopeMind: toy agumon!
Makoforte: so you probably want to pot dracmon into your party
TheAinMAP:
Makoforte: put, even
SaxPython: Pepper Breath
Makoforte: er. not dracmon. dracomon.
Gaz_L: Agumon is the mascot yeah
Makoforte: (Same as an evolved pokemon vs unevolved of the same level
silenceaux: In a series that is composed mostly of mascot characters, Agumon is the mascot character
Sogheim: I have a building block Agumon and it looks nothing like ToyAgumon
Thefluffiestguineapig: I will say the fact they all end in "mon" as a complete outsider is a little odd but this game seems super neat
Slacker1977: @silenceaux like Kirby in Smash?
Boopity:
This game has so many stray texture lying around. Maybe they'll patch them in at some point
silenceaux: @Slacker1977 Yes, and I think you made a better example there with Kirby
KaleidoscopeMind: RIP
TheAinMAP:
Makoforte: but yeah uh. Hello human reaper from mass effect
Boopity: Welp
Thefluffiestguineapig: WELP
kusinohki: attack on titan-mon??
Makoforte: also yes uh. digimon games are full of death and trauma but if they kill someone they want to make you feel it usually. >.>
SnowBunSarah: I think I can continue it. My investigation skills say "Wow, we're screwed against that thing"
knightWarrior82 watched 7 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
lrrSHINE
Diabore: oh look, a way across
Gaz_L: Biyomon
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SnowBunSarah Yeah in the case of "building sized titan vs tiny team of adorable misfits and their waitress looking leader" I think the winner is kind of obvious
KaleidoscopeMind: the item pickup voice lines feel tonally jarring compared to what's going on
Diabore: YUP
Boopity: O-Oh
KaleidoscopeMind: oh this is a masc one
The_Voices: its not the one from the show
Boopity: Oh yeah... I guess digimon voices aren't breed-specific
Thefluffiestguineapig: @KaleidoscopeMind Yeah, considering the literal building was halved by a giant vertical chop from a massive titan the lack of urgency is striking
Makoforte: Oh yeah no the masc Biyomon caught me totally off guard
Makoforte: I was just like 'wait, what'
Thefluffiestguineapig: why the quotes around seen
Makoforte: sometmes that's because you aren't allowd to explore yet because the game is mean to you
Slacker1977: Biyomon Kenobi, you're my only hope!
Gaz_L: Caught it in time, that time
TheAinMAP:
Boopity: Amazing
Boon_33:
Boopity: You did your best buddy
silenceaux: Also a faster way to get down
Diabore: yeah what they chose to not voice in this game is odd
Boopity:
Boopity: What
Dog_of_Myth:
Gaz_L: Here we go!
Makoforte: real talk every time Operator talks like this there's a part of me going 'is. is the operator lying to me?'
Makoforte: 'do i have amnesia'
Slacker1977: S
Makoforte: but i think it's just.
KaleidoscopeMind: "changes"
KaleidoscopeMind: understatement
RonaldMcDownload: " they grow digi-hair in certain digi-places..."
Slacker1977: Surely didn't upload gimself into ADAMAS
Gaz_L: Ch-ch-changes
farley_f: digihear about digivolution
Diabore: so many options
Boopity: Ooooooooh, evolution trees
Thefluffiestguineapig: That is quite the series of artificially created words
Makoforte: I told you it was different. You can see the requirements for each evolution as you go down the list.
Raldavar: You can check the field guide under the "agent" menu to see what skills at what level each mon learns
KaleidoscopeMind: yeah going up and down the tree branches is a big thing in these games
Makoforte: and you can see how they digivolve well before they have the capability.
Gaz_L: Yeah, they want you to have an Agumon right away
Gaz_L: The anime is basically a henshin hero show
Boopity: Digimon solved the Pokemon problem of "pre-evo is cuter than evolution" long ago
Gaz_L: They digivolve like turning into Ultraman
Makoforte: as you level up and down, the digimon like... kep some stat ups from being stonger
KaleidoscopeMind: yeah it's why dupes aren't the worst
Diabore: yeah you can go from mega all the way back down to in training 1
Boopity: Mohawk: gained
The_Voices: one digimon could become ALL digimon given enough time and training
Raldavar: Think of it like being able to change the nature and evolution of your Eevee whenever you want, but with every mon
Boopity:
Thefluffiestguineapig: So you get different evolutions if you are friendlier with them?
Makoforte: Oh damn
Raldavar: Bascially, you can reverse engineer any digimon into any other digimon
KaleidoscopeMind: damn
KaleidoscopeMind: digimon really said "ignorance is bliss"
Makoforte: flatamon....
Boopity: Get peppered idiot
Cptasparagus: who wants rabbit stew
TheAinMAP: And they wiggle their tail when they win.
Diabore: you can make a pile of rocks senient
Diabore: sentient*
Thefluffiestguineapig: Great, the animatronics are everywhere
Boopity: Uhhhhh
KaleidoscopeMind: uh
Boopity: Suddenly eldritch horror within your compherension
Gaz_L: This one is one tier up on the evo scale so harder
Raldavar: Yeah. If you really wanted your starter Blastnazard to be an Arceus, just de-digivolve it into something else and digivolve it back up
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sudden eldritch horror with massive HP
Makoforte: (Link is a screenshot of one of the sillier moments in Digimon Cyber Sleuth Hacker's Memory)
Makoforte: also yes sometimes they will screw with those expectations with higher level digimon
Gaz_L: Our little blob is tier 1. This thing is tier 4
Makoforte: also don't forget you can change your team in battle.
Boopity: WHAT
Boopity: Game GOOD
Dog_of_Myth: Amazing
Makoforte: LCDED
Thefluffiestguineapig: WHAT
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's amazing
Toxxick: did you just get bitcrunched?
Cptasparagus: advanced metapod used ???
Raldavar:
It sent Agumon to the 2D dimension 
Makoforte: crystalized is how you look on the old digimon virtual pet toys
KaleidoscopeMind: dimension reduction
MightierGlacier: Agumon.zip
Gaz_L: No skills when pixel
Thefluffiestguineapig: How long does the flattening take to go away?
Makoforte: yeah, the stonger the digimon the harder it is to scan
poipal: Those end sprites are giving me such strong Tamagochi vibes
Makoforte: some digimon can only evolve to one form, year
Juliamon: I mean... Digimon started as a Tamagotchi-like, so...
Makoforte: @poipal That is because Digimon were, originally, tamagotchis that could battle!
RonaldMcDownload: from a blob to a slightly more defined blob
Boopity: Yeah, Digimon is basically Tamagotchi spin-off
farley_f: to be honest it's one of the thing i love about Digimon over Pokemon - that you can slide their evolution all over the place
Diabore: or be enlightened, either or
Makoforte: I generally recommend evolving up nd down as suits your whims. the more they digivolve, their higher their talent goes, the higher their level cap
farley_f: and you can have"evil" digimon in your party like Piedmon or Metalseadramon
Makoforte: but you should level them up to because if you digivolve/dedigivolve at level 1 they barely get a point of talent
Gaz_L: Met or your personality is the same as the result's default one
KaleidoscopeMind: in other games, there were times you had to digivolve down a path you didn't really want to get your stats up enough to de-digivolve + digivolve into the thing you wanted
TheMerricat: I was just realized that if you rewind a live stream, it doesn't 'rewind' chat. I was wondering why chat was clairvoyant.
Makoforte: yeah, it's pretty great
Diabore: yeah you can go deep on digivolving, or you can bum rush it
Boopity: People weren't kidding with the SMT comparisons. The monster "breeding" mechanic is very complex
Omnipotrevor: Does it still have the thing from Digimon World where it can turn into a pile of crap if you train it badly?
Diabore: @Omnipotrevor no, but you can choose the pile of crap
MightierGlacier: @Omnipotrevor you can choose to evolve into crap-mon, yes
Makoforte: some of the digimon games your digimon are more like the toys so when they evolve they age and eventually they die of old age and become an egg that is a stronger baby digimon so it's more like a cycle, and some are like this
Boopity: Oh hello
Thefluffiestguineapig: Gee, that might be why they're giving you all those things to buff with
KaleidoscopeMind: just ignoring the kaiju behind you
Territan: I have strong reservations about referring to a "brown texture" as a "log."
Diabore: @Makoforte iirc its usually the world - story difference
Territan: Could be a maximillipede.
SaxPython: Rayquaza looking fella
Makoforte: yeah. but world and story are considered like.... part of the same metaverse, I guess? It's complicated and CERTAIN PEOPLE (looking at you miss purplehair) complicate it further
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SaxPython Shiny mega Rayquaza for sure
Gaz_L: You can also change battle speed w right stick in combat
Territan: Have you had a break recently?
Makoforte: You can attack while in the analyze mode if you look around and lock on
Makoforte: oh that's a good point, I think you two have been streaming for 2 hours straight
Boopity: I love how this eldritch horror just sounds like... a man
Diabore: @Boopity all digimon just have regular people voices
Boopity:
@Diabore I know, but it's especially jarring on a coccoon with tendrils
Boopity: Thanks Windows
Thefluffiestguineapig: The fact someone mentioned certain digimon are canonically evil is wild to me
KaleidoscopeMind: blob1mon or blob2mon
Makoforte: yup! Evil is a trait you can have for one of your starter digimon!
Boopity: There's also that one digimon that is typecast into always tragically dying or something
Gaz_L: Leomon
Gaz_L: He died for our sins
Sogheim: Leomon's got it rough
Makoforte: you might want to swap him out of the active team for a bit
MightierGlacier: they should probably comment out the line in leomon's source code that makes him die, idk
nyoomgoom: i believe in you agumon
KaleidoscopeMind: checking in on work is not taking a break, heather
KaleidoscopeMind: take a real break
Territan: Sorry guys, I didn't think they'd take me seriously. (That never happens!)
nyoomgoom: @MightierGlacier that might be a load-bearing line... comment that one out, break everything else
Boopity:
Nah, it's good to take breaks
Makoforte: if he doesn't die he becomes a delinquent though...
Boopity: @nyoomgoom Yeah, they can't because it breaks everything else and no one else knows why
Thefluffiestguineapig: Having them take a break is always a good thing especially when the reason for no break is because Heather is so engrossed in the game
Territan: Why do we even have dependencies on mortality.dgm??
Territan: (Note: Not a URL.)
hypergirlie_hyperpop: "Digimon are the champions," from the original English dub opening, always bothered me because there's a level of Digimon evolution called "Champion," so only *some* Digimon are the champions. Anyway, I probably should've clocked neurodivergence much sooner than I did.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: How's it going, folks?
nyoomgoom: @hypergirlie_hyperpop oh, same
Makoforte: you either die a leomon, or live long enough to see yourself become the bancholeomon......
Diabore: @hypergirlie_hyperpop What do you mean it wasnt 'digimon garlic champions'?
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Diabore that's Italians
nyoomgoom: the crossover with fighting foodons
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 15 months, currently on a 15 month streak!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving! (Today's storm count: 5)
Thefluffiestguineapig: If I'm not Italian and I add double or triple the garlic to a lot of recipes, am I appropriating things or just appreciating the flavor?
Makoforte: actually here's a question for the digimon likers in the room: which is your favourite digimon, not counting the ones that may have helped you realize certain things about yourself
Boopity: @hypergirlie_hyperpop Same with cultural touchstone, Pokemon's "gotta catch em all" - can't. More than half are evolved.
Thefluffiestguineapig: I actually heard a weird theory about Pokemon who look like food: why do they look like human food and the answer is more than likely predatory mimicry
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig you have a dependency on garlic and need it to keep living. it's a tragic condition and you're so brave and inspirational, i'm going to make a movie about your life starring an actor who can eat normal amounts of garlic and gloss over anything that doesn't add to the inspiration porn and win so many awards
Makoforte: but personally, god. I love Wormmon so much. My perfect little guy and stingmon is the perfect friend to evolve into.
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@Makoforte 
I'm so glad that I can help you on your artistic journey
hypergirlie_hyperpop: I still think Omnimon is the GOAT, but Digimon the Movie is a core memory for me, so he's probably a lot less cool than I think.
Makoforte: @hypergirlie_hyperpop Omnimon is legit so fucking cool.
Makoforte: I'm so sad I haven't been able to find an omnimon digipla yet.
Grevas13: i like the adventure 02 armor digimon in general, nerfertimon specifically.
Makoforte: Oh, nefertimon is a pretty good design, and one you can get in the full game.
TheAinMAP:
Makoforte: She's one you can actually get a free prelevelled of
nyoomgoom: i like gatomon because kittycat. basically any kittycat digimon and any dragon digimon is my fave (i am not good at picking favorites)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Grevas13 I won't lie, as a Star Wars person all I saw was "nerfherdermon" and hard to re-read it three times
hypergirlie_hyperpop: Wow, this section is much further along than I would've expected the demo to carry!
hypergirlie_hyperpop: The environments do get better.
Makoforte: I sam pretty sure i know where this demo ends and while it's still not super far away it should make a good scene
KaleidoscopeMind: eh, it's digital plastic
Makoforte: I mean it does do the 'resuse areas' thing a bit but I don't mind so much, but I earnestly love Soul Hackers 2 despite it's deungeons being bland.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: This game's insistence on burying menus in menus is a real "dude it's 2025" for me
Valhallan597: Ryudamon let's go
hypergirlie_hyperpop: Especially for the Digifarm.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: I can't find any good reason to ever go to the Digifarm, except raising stats with training items and then immediately taking guys out of the farm where they can actually be useful instead.
Makoforte: (Like Soul Hackers 2 is really a 7/10 but I love it so much. It's also, straight up, such a good sister piece to SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon (i don't talk about universe but ask me about Princess and Samurai) because the DLC is really 'dynazenonj team style characters are helping a very sympathetic akane shinjo shape')
hypergirlie_hyperpop: The training items should just be usable from the inventory. It's dumb that they're not.
Makoforte: @hypergirlie_hyperpop Yeah, the menuing is pretty much the worst thing about the game
Makoforte: I think... like, I hear this game was in dev hell for like. 8 years?
hypergirlie_hyperpop: That would make a lot of sense.
Makoforte: but Cyber Sleuth's menuing was legit better than this.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: Shocking it turned out as well as it did, given the franchise's history and that dev cycle, wow.
Valhallan597: @hypergirlie_hyperpop My biggest gripe with it is that you can't check digivolution reqs from the digifarm. So I'm constantly training, taking out, checking, putting back in. Unless I take notes.
Makoforte: anyway folks who have played cyber sleuth
Makoforte:
remember this place 
Makoforte: god. why are the bug digimon SO GOOD.
Makoforte: so. you remember that gunphone you have?
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Valhallan597 God, yes, exactly!! Like, okay, do the whole digifarm thing so I can't exploit the training items in the middle of a dungeon, sure. But at LEAST give me the information I need where I need it???
Makoforte: @hypergirlie_hyperpop It's SO BAD.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: I'm glad that *these* are the gripes to have about this game, though. I love Digimon and I've never loved a Digimon game until now.
Makoforte: @Makoforte Cybersleuth let you digivolve from the farm, at least.
KaleidoscopeMind: time for GUN
TheAinMAP:
MightierGlacier: smartphone-gun
Boopity: GUN
hypergirlie_hyperpop: this game's awesome, man.
Makoforte: you have buff gun right now, but you can get shoot the gun as a weapon too, there's a bunch
Makoforte: they had all their stats doubled for 2 rounds
e_bloc: first, you take an umbrella
Boopity:
I am glad to hear the gun gets many uses
Valhallan597: @hypergirlie_hyperpop After reading some info of people that figured out how Cumulative points work. The farm is basically the best way to get your Load Enhancement fodder's stats up before you feed them to your mons.
Makoforte: also yes, how are you going to do do iaijutsu without thumbs if you don't fire the sword from your moyuth
Makoforte: Remember, Heather, there's a change option in battle
Makoforte: you can use that to sub out a team member
KaleidoscopeMind: this is the rhythm cafe slot
Boopity: Operator were you paying attention for the 2 giant kaiju Digimons that almost decimated us???
MightierGlacier: to another data-type, yay
Makoforte: look
Makoforte: operator dan is bad at his job
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Valhallan597 okay i've played 10 hours of this game so far, and I have no clue what "Cumulative Points" are, and I had no idea a digimon's STATS had anything to do with feeding them to other guys, I thought it was just levels T____T
TheAinMAP:
hypergirlie_hyperpop: This game is inexplicable.
Makoforte: It IS weak to fire
Makoforte: but it is resistant to data
Diabore: it is weak to fire, but its strong against data, so they neutral out
Makoforte: also you can unequp moves that mons have equipped
Grevas13: the move changes were one of several that make customizing your team so much easier in this game. i liked it.
e_bloc: resistant to data? is there a TNG crossover here
Makoforte: in training mons have no type, so they aren't weak to anything but
Boopity: The systems in this game continue to surprise me with how flexible they are
Diabore: @e_bloc nono, this isnt magic
e_bloc:
@Diabore
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Boopity oh for sure. There's a ton of flexibility, I might say too much.
Makoforte: elemental weakness is a 50% damage boost, and type weakness is a 100% damage boost, but weakness and element is a 200% damage boost
Makoforte: weakness + element + special trait damage because like. 450% damage.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: I got an ability early on that reverses an enemies resistances and weaknesses, and I feel like I'm going to use it the whole game.
Valhallan597: @hypergirlie_hyperpop It's the blue stat Points your digimon have. Those are added to your base stats before showing up in your white numbers. When you evolve a portion of those become part of your base stats. If you load digimon into your digimon a smaller part gets added.
TheAinMAP: "Point this end toward ally."
hypergirlie_hyperpop: an enemy's* goodness
Makoforte: i am not gonna lie, gump you can gun with is so dumb and cool but also scanning your phone screen against the air to power up
Grevas13: @hypergirlie_hyperpop the real trick is you can use it on your own digimon
Sogheim: Agumon shaking his butt on the win is hilarious to me
TheAinMAP:
Boopity: Uhhhh
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Grevas13 WAIT WHAT, oh my god. This last boss fight I had would've been so much more simple T___T thank you for tips
e_bloc: no he does that every tuesday
Makoforte: Now I think I know what this is but I'm not sure....
RatherLargeToad:
Makoforte: the bosses have sometimes been really hard or really easy and I'm not sure why yet
Grevas13: yeah, it's useful to reverse only one of your digimon, instead of the boss
Makoforte: -oh damn, I didn't even think of that.

Makoforte: anyway Mazinger Z is here
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Valhallan597 Taking notes, taking notes. But Equipment also adds blue number? How does that work?
TheAinMAP: Punch
poipal: I'm still laughing EVERY time "Girl to Be Protected" comes up on screen
RatherLargeToad: Rocket Punch!
OmegaPlatinum: "Oh who did you voice in that game?" "Oh I was 'Girl To Be Protected'"
niccoli_omari: Dues Ex Rocket Punch!
Makoforte: you DO find out her name
Grevas13: digimon wildly alternates in tone seemingly based on die roll from scene to scene.
Boopity:
What in the world is happening
Valhallan597: @hypergirlie_hyperpop Equipments don't matter. They are just a flat bonus that comes and goes as you equip it.
RonaldMcDownload: and thats why we put the wall there
RatherLargeToad: and then it exploded!

Dalrint: Shorter game thatn I expected
Diabore: oh certainly not, game over
poipal: It's very selective nuclear fallout
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Valhallan597 Gotcha, gotcha.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: I hate Tuesdays
HorusFive: This is not the Akira remake I was expecting
Diabore: ROLL CREDITS
Boopity: Suddenly, Digimon Mystery Dungeon
Valhallan597: Roll credits! Buy the full game now
poipal: Oh I see, we just got isekai'd
KaleidoscopeMind: tamers was great
Boopity: Digimon Tamers was a fever dream
NorthstarTex: and that was the first time I died
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or are we in the Digimon world as a human?
Boopity: *Frontier
KaleidoscopeMind: frontier was... a trip
Toxxick: Tamers? The show about how Y2K almost killed the real world?
MightierGlacier: digimon fans dont know how to feel about frontier either
Makoforte: heather if you could fuse with a monster to become a monsterperson of your desired gender, wouldn't you
poipal: I Was Rocket Punched To Death And Woke Up As A Digimon
hypergirlie_hyperpop: Tamers is probably the best of the first four anime series, but I will always be an Adventure 01 dork in my heart
Diabore: an astonishing amount of digimon are just humans in cosplay
Makoforte: digimon range from sentient poop robot to cosplaying person
nyoomgoom: tamers did it before frontier, tamers had the digimon partner and human combine to reach mega level
Thefluffiestguineapig:
"gubmnit"

Valhallan597: 🥚 Egg
Boopity: EGG THIEF
nyoomgoom: frontier didn't have digimon partners whatsoever, it was just humans who turn into digimon with their powers
Sogheim: (it isn't Digitamamon)
poipal: @Grevas13 Aw thank you!
e_bloc: ceiling egg
MightierGlacier: gosh darn hyuumans and their gubmints
niccoli_omari: "I could go for an omlet"
poipal: @Grevas13 Have an egg in these trying times 🥚
NorthstarTex: egg?
Makoforte: not quite. those two are family
nyoomgoom: egg thieves? spyro????
Makoforte: minervamon is here to preserve the egg prime directive
Boopity: Slaps roof of Digimon: this thing can hold so many nicknames
OmegaPlatinum: fun fact: Those two little guys were the on-the-box digimon for the second DS Digimon World games (two versions like Pokemon)
Boopity: Oh my god
TheAinMAP:
Boopity: Suddenly Utena
Valhallan597: It was egg theory all the way down
Boopity: Zettai! Unmei! Mokushiroku!
Makoforte: @OmegaPlatinum Yup!
gualdhar: wait why are the digimon talking?
KaleidoscopeMind: let me check my gun
ArdCollider: "we've got so many tanks of estrogen to put in the water supply!"
Makoforte: yup!
TheAinMAP: Can we make time?
Boopity: @gualdhar They always do
Makoforte: @gualdhar Digimon could always talk
poipal: But does it have an e-ink keyboard?!
Makoforte: Unless they're babies
twistedsylvan: @OmegaPlatinum Dude I LOVED Dawn and Dusk
Diabore: still have like 10 or 15 minutes of demo
MightierGlacier: babies talk sometimes too
Valhallan597: I would trust the office lady
NorthstarTex: friend is a pretty strong word here..
Makoforte: i still wanna play dawn and dusk the game that got me back to digimon was the fan translation of World Digitize?
Makoforte: and then I tried cyber sleuth on a whime and I was utterly charmed.
OmegaPlatinum:
@twistedsylvan I had dawn but I have no clue where it went 
Makoforte: sometimes I think those extra dialogue options are less 'get something useful' and more 'be an option to be a dick'
poipal: Get this woman a job with the NFL
Boopity: Oops
TheAinMAP: Well that full-body tackle 1) worked way better than expected on a ghost that was unaffected by a sword an 2) still completed failed to save the egg.
twistedsylvan: oh that's bad
poipal: Oh huh, broke the floor rather than broke the egg
Boopity:
I expected a fight, but nah a full body tackle
TheAinMAP:
Valhallan597: EGG THIEF
Boopity:
Valhallan597: TAMAGO DOROBO
Boopity: Now this is literature
MightierGlacier: Digimon Story: Egg Thief (tm)

Makoforte: YES
Boopity: SO MUCH WORLDBUILDING IS HAPPENING
NorthstarTex: it was like that when I got here?
Makoforte: not even kidding, heather
Makoforte: you know exactly what this place is
Grevas13: Digimon is unabashedly and earnestly dorky, and I love it.
twistedsylvan: It's Persona or Twin Peaks
poipal: And here I thought it was suddenly Umineko
Twilight_Spark:
nyoomgoom: dark haired kid was kinda giving ken ichijouji
e_bloc: Igor got a glow-up
TheAinMAP:
Makoforte: like... pokemon has the staying power of being pokemon, digimon had to learn from other options
poipal: There goes our spine!
Makoforte: look
Boopity: The secret is we're always concussed
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone new to digimon I'm both very lost and very here for it
Makoforte: yes!
NorthstarTex: Homeros is a mood...
Diabore: thats not concusion height thats cracked open skull brain on sidewalk height
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Thefluffiestguineapig Welcome in, the water's warm.
Makoforte: beej when I saw the kabukicho sign i had a moment
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yakuza game now?
RockPusher: Head to purgatory, go to a casino
Boopity:
@Thefluffiestguineapig The last few minutes have been completely new lore drops out of nowhere
poipal: @Thefluffiestguineapig I'm not really new to digimon but I'm also very lost, so you're in good company
Diabore: not much longer
Valhallan597: not much longer, yeah
twistedsylvan: @Thefluffiestguineapig this is pretty much the default state of a Digimon fan
nyoomgoom: this looks like an area that was in tamers a lot... like near where takato was hiding guilmon
poipal: Please tell me we get to hijack the armored truck
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Boopity So that's not established lore? Ok thank fuck
hypergirlie_hyperpop: Digimon mainly stays around Shibuya, if
hypergirlie_hyperpop: if I remember right* sorry
Makoforte: also agent, your adoptive father, professor yuki, strengthened your bones in order to survive impact. your flight attendant uniform also protects you using equipment your adoptive father, the late dr yuki, who is your adoptive father, who made the technology that ADAMAS uses
poipal: The Turks!!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Every time I hear Kamarocho I just am absolutely trained to look for Kazuma Kiryu somewhere
Dalrint: One of the DLC outfits is her suit. I used it for the whole game.
Makoforte: Yeah no one of the DLC costumes is That Suit.
Twilight_Spark: Wish I could pull off that suit.
NorthstarTex:
@hypergirlie_hyperpop at least for the material world, I won't say much about other worlds
RockPusher: s/tailored/vacuumed
Thefluffiestguineapig: I want a suit that fits that well EVER
Boopity: I don't think I've ever worn _anything_ that fit as well as that suit
poipal: "We promise we'll find her and keep her safe! Don't bother giving us any identifying details, though."
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig Legitimately: Digimon Story is the link that fits Persona and Yakuza together and I am barely even kidding.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is man with glasses our dad?
MightierGlacier: we say y'all
Valhallan597: We are in Japan though
NotCainNorAbel: ya'll
Boopity: Japanifornia
e_bloc: yeah i'm in y'all country
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte Considering Yakuza is the glue that fits so many stories together with barely any effort I believe it
MightierGlacier: talking to you, and you, and you, and
Twilight_Spark: You bozos?
Makoforte: @Makoforte Both Kazuma Kiryu and any given protagonist can (bring back Naoya Toudou and Maya Amano cowards) can fit here easily.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: There are two basic English dialects people in Japan may learn . . .
RockPusher:
definitely not an Australian translation then
Makoforte: and then via yakuza you get phoenix wright because phoenix was majima's lawyer that one time
twistedsylvan: That Man? We're Guilty Gear now?
e_bloc: just a 'who is this clown?' not only are you calling them a clown, you're also saying he's not even one of the famous ones
Boopity: Is he also... a Time Stranger?
Twilight_Spark: You may be entitled to digital compensation.
KefkaesqueXIII: Camp for the summer, yeah
Boopity: Lmaooooo
Valhallan597:
So weird
Makoforte: he's not the only one
Diabore: awfully willing to share
Omnipotrevor: It's called fashion, dude
Twilight_Spark: 🙀
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte Over on Tiltyhouse we really want a buddy cop spin off with Hate and a particular side kick from a deep cut side game
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig Which one which one
SquareDotCube: He is the knob
twistedsylvan: He did the thing!
e_bloc: he is the knob
Makoforte: honestly if she worked for qantas she wouldn't have stopped with a shoulder tackle she would have been punching that shadow in the throat repeatedly
e_bloc: @SquareDotCube damn sniped
Valhallan597: Good job
TheAinMAP:
NorthstarTex: bring out the siege patamon!
PMAvers: "Well, you see, you need to roll double sixes to open it... oh, I see. Explosives work too."
Makoforte: agumon, do a violence!
Valhallan597: STANDO?
HorusFive:
Boopity: I love how casually the protagonist orders digimon to _explode things out of nowhere_
TheAinMAP: Let's say we have a key that works on any lock.
Diabore: do do doo do do
RatherLargeToad: do do dododo!
Twilight_Spark: Anomalous Phenomenon is the name of my band.
NorthstarTex: problem solved
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Are exploding DigiMon one-shot?
Makoforte: @Makoforte I'm trying to think which is deep cut, Kurohyo? Dead Souls uses existing characters, and Judgment/LJ aren't deep cut.
e_bloc: anonymous phenomenon should be in every game
nyoomgoom: ok no yeah, that locked gate. this is definitely the same one where takato hid guilmon
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte Akane from Man who Erased His Name (she's the one who wears red and runs the informant network)
Makoforte: look. grief makes a person make bad decisions.
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig OH HELL YEAH
Diabore: does she? she just said underground
MightierGlacier: @nyoomgoom (its a real place in Japan)
e_bloc: no idea what is happening, but certain his daughter is somewher
Boopity: It's digilore Beej. Just digipay attention
Twilight_Spark: uwu
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte When Ian suggested it the entire chat went nuts and was so excited
RatherLargeToad: Real Monsters?
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig God., Man Who Erased His Name is the best Kiryu game but it's only the best Kiryu game because of the other six Kiryu games
MightierGlacier: this is danganronpa music
nyoomgoom: @MightierGlacier makes sense, but i'm sure they used the same location inspiration on purpose
MightierGlacier: oh 100%
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig I still want a Miss Tatsu game, but Yakuza will never give us a solo female led game because they are cowards
Boopity: I do love how everyone keeps calling us out on our protag fit
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Makoforte I really loved the Kiryu segments of Infinite Wealth, but I feel the same way. It's only great because it stands on the shoulders of 20 years of this series.
Valhallan597: They call you Agent or some other nicknames.
Valhallan597: Very normal streamer
Makoforte: @hypergirlie_hyperpop Yeah I have yet to get to IW, I tried to play it on launch but the opening segment was so depressing and I was in a bad place.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte If you enjoy Yakuza weird talk like this, Ian who is the normal rhythm cafe co-host does Yakuza streaming on Tiltyhouse most Fridays. He also talks about the local murders of crows he is befriending and craft stuff he's doing
Valhallan597:
Raldavar: Feed her to the sewer mons!
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Makoforte valid and fair. It's a fantastic game, but it absolutely demands some resilience.
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig Oh I have been playing Yakuza since the PS2 days, but uh... I do tend to disagree with a lot of Ian's opinions on things (especially gundam) so I am not sure it's the environment for me. Also I'm an Aussie so if it's most of friday day i will be asleep.
Boopity:
Valhallan597: Yup
Boopity: That is _jarrring_ to see from far away
MightierGlacier: Character Design (tm)
Makoforte: @hypergirlie_hyperpop And also FF7 R2 hit and I was excited for that even if I have cooled significantly. (Enjoyable at the time, falls apart under scruting.)
Makoforte: You *can* carry your save over
Grevas13: and riding them is *awesome*
Boopity: Weird spot to end the demo, but regardless that was a _hefty_ demo
Makoforte: sadly yes
Makoforte: You can ride SOME of the ones that look like humans
Makoforte: there is but like
Makoforte: at 10 hours in
MightierGlacier: shoutout to brown texture
iris_of_ether: Piggyback uppies
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte It's Friday evenings Pacific time and you're welcome to stop by the chat to test it out to see if it's an ok fit or not, if not totally fair
KefkaesqueXIII: Some of the masculine human one can carry you, but not the feminine human ones.
Firewhiskers: Straight up angels, okay
Valhallan597: It takes a WHILE, if you don't rush through, to reach the digital world.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @KefkaesqueXIII But why though
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig Thanks! I'll keep it in mind
Grevas13: @Firewhiskers so many angels
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Firewhiskers Digimon has a weird, very Protestant streak throughout it
Makoforte: anyway Beej and Heather Time Stranger Play It Forward...?
Dalrint: I've been really enjoying it.
NorthstarTex: legit, my partner is close to finishing the story, and its a good one
Diabore: @Makoforte sadly im pretty sure PIF was retired
Makoforte: but genuinely I suggest you grab Cyber Sleuth first, they're so good-
Makoforte: oh interesting many more demos
hypergirlie_hyperpop:
@Thefluffiestguineapig girls have weak bird bones, duh (this is a joke 
)
Makoforte: @Diabore oh. fair, makes sense.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte No problem! Hope to see you around more in chat though
TheMerricat:
Beej and Betrayal at Kondor vibes just hit.
Sogheim: @Makoforte Cyber Sleuth had a surprising amount of body horror for a kid's game
NorthstarTex: but wait there's more?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @hypergirlie_hyperpop Absolutely, clearly they can't do anything involving muscles (also very joking because I've known women who can lift 110lb dogs by themselves)
Makoforte: @Thefluffiestguineapig I try to make streams when I can, but usually I lurk bvecause uh. The Special Interest talk mode can get annoying.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Makoforte As an autistic ADHD person I get that in a big way
Makoforte: but yeah, like I said beej, the sort of prequels to these go down to like, $7 bucks for a set on eshp pretty regularly
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: *Windows glingle*
Makoforte: but like. The cyber sleuth games was the first creature collector I bothered to fill out the pokedex equivalent on
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Was that mine?!
e_bloc gifted a Tier 1 sub to windownoises! They have given 165 Gift Subs in the channel!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, windownoises! (Today's storm count: 8)
Makoforte: Cyber Sleuth Complete Collection
Faulpyr: The Cybersleuth games are great
Makoforte: I *rerally* loved them
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: *relief*
e_bloc: yeah like an amber alert
Makoforte: the loc on the first game falls apart a bit about halfway through but it means canon lesbians so who can say if it's bad
Faulpyr: I’ve heard mixed things on Survive
hypergirlie_hyperpop: I could *NOT* get into either Cybersleuth or Survive, unfortunately.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: Time Stranger rules, though
NotCainNorAbel:
500
hypergirlie_hyperpop:
thanks for streaming 
Valhallan597: Hacker's Memory is better than Cybersleuth
Makoforte: but like... Cyber Sleuth is the main story, and Hacker's memory is a gacha that runs alongside
Boopity: From what I've heard, Survive is more of a visual novel with obligatory shallow tactics gameplay sprinkled in
Makoforte: yeah
Makoforte: Hacker's Memory is a better game with a better loc, but I love them both
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Boopity that seems fair to me, but I only made it a couple hours in
NotCainNorAbel: f, I missed putting a message
Makoforte: Going from Aiba to Keisuke was pretty rad, I expected to not like playing him but Keisuke really freaking works as a protag.
poipal: Thanks a ton for the stream!
nyoomgoom: what, they changed it Again? psshh
Makoforte: zamazon zrime
KaleidoscopeMind: bezo bucks
Makoforte: kamen rider amazon prime
Boopity: Remember how it was Prime Gaming before it got renamed to Prime? Changing it again. See you again in 4 years
DigitalSeahorse: Luna is the name now
Thefluffiestguineapig: The website to cancel it crashed and they just haven't bothered to fix it and keep taking the money
hypergirlie_hyperpop: because C-Suites have to make up work for other people to do to justify themselves
NotCainNorAbel: How to turn billions of dollars into millions for dollars
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Maxxxx would have been fine in 1997
Boopity: Much like how tech companies are obsessed with constantly changing established UI just to fuck everything up for you
Makoforte: Thanks for the stream, it was fun to see first timers try this!
SaxPython:
TheAinMAP: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Send Codes (We get sent a LOT of game codes from developers and agencies. Now we have somewhere to play them. Pls Send Codes. Game: Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era) at Mon 01:00 PM PDT (18:08 from now).
Valhallan597: A brand new old game
Makoforte: oog this feels like something James and Serge would leap at
Boopity: EGG THIEF
Makoforte: EGG THIEF!!
TheAinMAP:
Makoforte: Heather you joke but like
nyoomgoom: lets goooo pumpkin time
Makoforte: Digimon does go for horror
KaleidoscopeMind: the scariest part was the menu UI
Makoforte: god i wanna check out ghost game
Makoforte: and i think the most recent movie was mostly a horror story
SaxPython:
