Earthenone: why does pride get a whole month but sloth only gets one day, we need more sin equality

TXC2: lrrHORN lrrSPOT lrrHORN
lightfut: New week new me
Metric_Furlong: alright, time to find out how the latest attempt at 'remake Heroes of Might and Magic III but with minor tweaks' is Kappa
TXC2: getting the mod packs to balance right is alchemy Kappa
SnyperWoIf: Oh, based on the toot, I was expecting King's Bounty
artdecosunburn: @Metric_Furlong I still miss HMM II. It was perfectly fine.
LibraryWitchKei: Oh you've played the demo then? Kappa
TheMerricat: @artdecosunburn I still miss Might and Magic 1. :P
LibraryWitchKei: Last comment was for @Metric_Furlong
SnyperWoIf: (King's Bounty being a game very similar to Heroes of Might and Magic (1), but made first and with a single story to play though)
SnackPak_: lrrGibb
TXC2: hello SnackPak_ welcome
Metric_Furlong: @artdecosunburn 2's great, there's also a fan mod/rework of it called fheroes 2 that makes it run on modern systems
Metric_Furlong: @LibraryWitchKei no, but I did see the announcement trailer and that was very much the vibe
SnyperWoIf: Am I the only person that has a soft spot for Heroes4?
DideRobot: LRR: Send Codes is loading up the prequel to HoMM a mere 30 years later! https://twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun | https://kind.social/@LoadingReadyRun/115408267090556362
LibraryWitchKei: @Metric_Furlong I've played the demo and yes it's exactly that
TheMerricat: @SnyperWoIf So everytime I saw the Kings Bounty series of games, they had cover art that implied they were.... ranchy and skipped them. Was that poor marketing or just an "also we do this too".
TXC2: Here we GO!
LibraryWitchKei: I've played and really enjoyed the modern King's Bounty games
RebekahWSD: I love the intro
TXC2: Hello Cori
ArdCollider: hi bob!
L0rdX33n: oh man, A might and magic! I’m a huge fan (you may have guessed from my name)
SymphonySolstice: mighting your magic at 1pm pacific?
Metric_Furlong: @SnyperWoIf no, you're not. and, to be honest, I think if there is going to be a new HoMM game 4 is probably the better template to build on at this point, but every game since 4 has been varations on 'HoMM 3 but not *quite* as good' so...
Flyingdelorion: Hello Cori, hello chat!
Theycallmejokke: Cori of Might & Magic
SnackPak_: classic James
Metric_Furlong: #BlameJames
Juliamon: Aw, Jaaames
artdecosunburn: @TheMerricat That whole era had an issue with box covers and scantilly-clad characters. See "Darklands" in 1992.
noSmokeFire: Hero of MIght and Magic singular
RatherLargeToad: James ded?
wedge_x: get james'd
TXC2: hello Flyingdelorion welcome
SymphonySolstice: rip
L0rdX33n: Rip Jim
Metric_Furlong: a tutorial? for a strategy game?!
TXC2: RIP James I guess
SnyperWoIf: @TheMerricat This art? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/97/King%27s_Bounty_Coverart.png
HadesLeprechaun: demos are the best way to start something new you're unfamiliar with!
TheMerricat: And Cori killed him, after he found her secret Horse Art Cache.
e_bloc: RIP dilly bars
e_bloc: no spoilers, but I think it includes heroes, might, and some magic
RatherLargeToad: city looks toasty

SnyperWoIf: @TheMerricat Oh. I know nothing about the reboot series. But that sexualized cover sucks

TheMerricat: So chat. speaking of Might and Magic and missing things. Are there ANY modern games out there that incorporate 'sci-fi and magic' that aren't just "Magiktec" - i.e. like the OG Might and Magic series where it starts out as a traditional fantasy setting then they find out they are on a space ship/ark.?
e_bloc: if mercury is so dangerous, why does it look so tasty

SymphonySolstice: it's like the apple in the garden of eden. forbidden slurp
TXC2: now Leaded milk, that's a tasty treat for all the family Kappa
SnyperWoIf: Oh nose! My homeworld!

e_bloc: mmm forbidden tastes
TXC2: like sweet light crude oil
Y2A_Alkis: HoMM fans no likey when big man fight during earlier games. So changed back to no fighty.
SymphonySolstice: the victorians did that for us
Nigouki: thallium too :(
SnyperWoIf: There's a "should you lick it" chart for the periodic table
e_bloc: that's the virutal reality we need--taste any chemical you like without dying
artdecosunburn: Just got to bring back absinthe as a normal, baseline drink.
Manae: Antifreeze is so delicious they needed to add bitterants to it. So molecular tastes as well
Kentosaurus: cyanide is naturally in almonds
wedge_x: the fact that lead is sweet is an incredible cosmic joke
L0rdX33n: We found far too many artificial sweeteners from chemists licking things they should NOT have
SnyperWoIf: Can I lick the element: https://i.redd.it/rnjv7c9rlpxc1.png
SymphonySolstice: someone needs to simulate flavors of forbidden foods to satiate the curiosity of the masses
betweenmyself: Big Sciences puts Neon in app them tubes just to keep us common folk from tasting the deliciousness inside. pennyWhat
betweenmyself: *all them tubes
Metric_Furlong: 9 mans, yes
Metric_Furlong: the health bar is for the unit at the top of the stack
L0rdX33n: angle of mouse is stab direction
wedge_x: ~ stab in the place where you are / then stab north ~
L0rdX33n: cursor then, You smartpants
artdecosunburn: @L0rdX33n Such an early 1990s approach to interface.
Sethalidos: not what they meant Cori :p
DeM0nFiRe: Where's the "Spiral into Denial" button?
Mr_Horrible: "Don't get cocky, kid!"
SnyperWoIf: Is there a version of HoMM that has a "retry battle" option?
TehAmelie: we need bigger numbers to fight their bigger numbers? weird concept
artdecosunburn: This game is essentially recruiting. It's like college football, with golems and dwarves.
L0rdX33n: I acknowledge your smatness
TXC2: you have to defend for thesis
SnyperWoIf: @wedge_x Think about direction wonder why you stabbing at all

Metric_Furlong: james_Turner@fakeadress Kappa
SnackPak_: lrrBartleby
Sarah_Serinde: gabyLul
SnyperWoIf: You can meow take on tougher enemy
VanLaser: now your lawn
tdapenguin: @SnyperWoIf this is what i wouldhave suggested the correction be!
Y2A_Alkis: They are living, but are they thriving?
SnyperWoIf: @tdapenguin XD!
SnyperWoIf: You typically can split unit stacks on the main map
Metric_Furlong: the Chalice Flock from the Palace Flock
TXC2: proselytes sounds like it shouldn't quite be a word
TheMerricat: Wait, are we the Church? Chat, are _WE_ the baddies?
VanLaser: proselytes vs poetlytes
L0rdX33n: Hi morale!
TehAmelie: the upside of living units, right
Y2A_Alkis: @TXC2 It's the new thing fitness influencers are trying to sell you on in their drinks.
L0rdX33n: You cannot spell?
niccus: head empty, sorry
TXC2: TheMerricat depends on which church we are Kappa
TehAmelie: but they can also get bad morale. the undead are so reliable in comparison
Metric_Furlong: @TXC2 it's what plants crave!
SnyperWoIf: You have high moral. Either from your hero, or because your units are all from the same town-type
DeM0nFiRe: I played so much HoMM on Gameboy Color as a kid, cool that they made another in that style
tdapenguin: @L0rdX33n i am also amused by the number of taste (and to a lesser extent, smell) entries in chemical property tables where also "do not taste! do not smell!" is also one of the properties. (The answer is: before we realized it was a /bad/ idea, we did do those tests. And it would be very foolish to discard that data.... especially since it could be useful for chemical ID and thus treatment in case of lab accidents)
TXC2: Y2A_Alkis believable
TheMerricat: They really don't like that guy in the middle.
Metric_Furlong: basically, yeah
Theycallmejokke: 60+ men in the middle you mean ;P
L0rdX33n: I think luck is double damage? So yeah, crits
TehAmelie: they said the thing, now roll credits
e_bloc: the two genders, I guess
SnyperWoIf: 60+ men sounds like a good night at the club
SymphonySolstice: he's a jojo...
TXC2: brother of Jack Jackson
Marcanius: Mooshroom
TehAmelie: as mooshroom!
SnyperWoIf: "you want be doing?"
VanLaser: anybody played Majesty (fantasy kingdom sim, in Ardania)
Nigouki: do we have the Might and Magic of a Molotov to help that cow?
SnyperWoIf: You may have to click on _exactly_ the entrance
SnyperWoIf: yup
TheMerricat: That seems like a useability issue.
silenceaux: gotta clip your way inside
VanLaser: I do remember in 2 or 3 it was the same, right? had to click into the door
Slacker1977: could use a checkmark on completed missions i guess
niccus: yeah, the town itself is for inspecting the town
Metric_Furlong: @VanLaser it's bee the standard for petty much all the series, they're just usually a lot better and indicating where the door is on the map
VanLaser: @Metric_Furlong ahah, thx :)
SnyperWoIf: AI player? Do they drink a BUNCH of water and turn out hand pictures with a few too many fingers?
VanLaser: he's also mining YOUR bitcoins LUL ^
SnyperWoIf: the "AI" player
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!)
TehAmelie: eh, we're better off with the pots of mercury than with bitcoins
VanLaser: heh
Slacker1977: from downtown!
Theycallmejokke: Bravely gunned down that man
TXC2: TehAmelie right? it almost certainly does less environmental damage then bitcoin
VanLaser: that's why GPUs are heating when you're playing games 4Head
TehAmelie: and mercury can be exchanged for goods and services
TXC2: oh what games make a GPU heat up is weird, Sekiro = 45c Hollow Knigh = 60c :p
TXC2: *knight
VanLaser: so Hollow Knight mines bitcoins, got it
Slacker1977: 🤔 so Team Cherry's financial independence is from hidden Bitcoin mining?
TXC2: it mines salt from me at least :p
Theycallmejokke: You might say, do you want might, or magic
VanLaser: heh
Slacker1977: or do you magic say that?
Creideiki_SE: Game spells it "griffon" instead of "gryphon". 0/10, no sale.
Krektogar: Good day all!
Krektogar: is this a remake of some sort, or a new game?
Mr_Horrible: trade secret
Mr_Horrible: sinuuSmug
TXC2: hello Krektogar welcome
Metric_Furlong: Mercury, obviously Kappa
niccus: new game, but hews very close to 3
TXC2: Krektogar it's sort of a remake of Heroes of might and magic 3
Krektogar: nice, thanks :)
Slacker1977: i think this is an independent developer that did this for/pitched this to Ubisoft?
VanLaser: don't forget to Hydrargyrum
Theycallmejokke: Clearly bird is the way to go ;P
VanLaser: i'm waiting for the ambushes like 'a pack of trolls attacks you' or smth
Mangledpixel: Today's fish is trout a la creme. Enjoy your meal.
TXC2: feeesh!
Slacker1977: wild. this isn't even published by Ubisoft?
Juliamon: Mangledpixel we have !fish for that
Metric_Furlong: !fish
LRRbot: Today's fish is fish à la fish. Enjoy your fish.
Slacker1977: Steam says it's Hooded Horse. seems like they licensed it from Ubi
xantos69: So I've never played any of the Heros of might and magic games. What's the TLDR?
Slacker1977: Civ-like with magic and hero Units
Slacker1977: and way smaller maps
Lysander_salamander: Hello everyone
Metric_Furlong: @xantos69 build up fantasy armies, explore map, fight things
Rodzos: yeah it's like Civilization but more combat focused
Rodzos: Hi :)
VanLaser: @xantos69 large maps, you stay all night and play with some caffeine beverages
TXC2: hello Lysander_salamander welcome
NonchalantAvenger: after Heroes 3 it went downhill....
NonchalantAvenger: 3 was the ABSOLUTE best
Theycallmejokke: Got our level back
Krektogar: Hooded Horse? They have done some cool games the last couple years, haven't they?
TehAmelie: i admit i never gave them much of a chance after 3, but it was like, why mess with perfection
artdecosunburn: Reminds me of how great necromancy was for growing your armies.
SquareDotCube: man they picked the good cues, specifically from HOMM 2 and 3
Metric_Furlong: native terrain: each different faction is associated with a different terrain type (e.g. grasslands)
VanLaser: @Krektogar I played Breachway for a while, now I just wait for it to get out of EA
TXC2: lrrnding
noSmokeFire: le catapult
e_bloc: oh hes one of those learning guys
artdecosunburn: Population resets each week.
SquareDotCube: yes you do, it's in the lower right corner
Krektogar: @VanLaser just had a look, they have a lot of games that are still in EA (Manor Lords, is one of them). let's see how they work out when they're finished
VanLaser: @Krektogar yeah :) at least Breachway has great potential I think
NonchalantAvenger: it looks like they tried to retain the old style... art is especially good and looks somewhat drawn unlike the ugly 3d units in heroes 4 and 5
Slacker1977: units are probably a little bit like Borderlands, faux celshading
e_bloc: good foley
NonchalantAvenger: yeah the cell-shade on small scale units looks really nice!
TXC2: ooo a hippodrome
tdapenguin: is that a floating evil mantaray/squid off to the side?
tdapenguin: dangit, now it's not in view
artdecosunburn: I recall the music in HoMM II being especially evocative. The weekly flourish.
Slacker1977: could also be a jellyfish
e_bloc: the best defense is indiscriminate murder
Creideiki_SE: As long as it's not discriminatory murder.
tdapenguin: @Slacker1977 that was my first thought. my second thought was 'the top looks awfully angular for a jellyfish'. Of course, at no point did the creature being on land stop me. So i guess that's my priorities shown?
SquareDotCube: this train has no heroes aboard
VanLaser: that guy just went to visit a friend I bet, now his castle is gone
artdecosunburn: The more marketplaces you have in more castles, the better exchange rate when trading.

VanLaser: across map, a crossbow
kusinohki: meows
kusinohki: how goes Heroes who might have magic??
TXC2: hello kusinohki welcome
niccus: most ranged units have a max range for base damage, but can shoot everywhere for half damage
L0rdX33n: Ranged attackers have an optimum range, past which they do half damage
artdecosunburn: @L0rdX33n Clearly HoMM needs more bottlecaps. And a dog companion.
e_bloc: I feel like bonestab should be a magic card
SquareDotCube: you know I hope the vampires still got "bluh" when hit
SquareDotCube: *go
kusinohki: not sure how I feel about the sword floorish...
RebekahWSD: :O
artdecosunburn: @SquareDotCube And the zombies were sort of leaky, right?
TXC2: do vampires go "bluh" 'cause they're trying to say "blood", but the fangs get in the way?
kusinohki: the dragons circling that building... at first I thought it was a windmill
calculated_uncertainties: Is anyone else having issues sending bits today?
artdecosunburn: I appreciate how in HoMM, necromancy is not just a magic form, but a biome.
Critterbot: Hearing a lot of sound effects I remember dearly from HoMM6. :D
3and4fifths: Mews II my favorite pokemon!
SquareDotCube: it's a passive bonus
SquareDotCube: not an actual unit

e_bloc: I was hoping for that
calculated_uncertainties: Is there a wizard inside it?

niccus: it's just garum.
Krektogar: oh hey, it's the League of Legends IP!
TreeVor84: Never open a jar, unless it contains pear jam.
Y2A_Alkis: it was a cookie jar ofc
e_bloc: thats how you get witches
SquareDotCube: juice that fermented into spirits
margieargie: I thought Pandora's box was only ajar after she opened it <_<
niccus: imagine breaking open a big jar of fish sauce. you'd be banned forever
TreeVor84: Pandora left the jar lid ajar
artdecosunburn: @margieargie Now that's an Olympian pun.
kusinohki: what a glorious pit...
Metric_Furlong: Pandora's box, Avatar, I see James Cameron's been at work here Kappa
niccus: good thing you have a catapult
TXC2: as the ancient texts fortold
niccus: oh man they made the castle side so much more spacious
artdecosunburn: @niccus Old versions were so cramped. Your forces had to sidle past one another.
SquareDotCube: the catapult slowly breaks down walls and towers

Metric_Furlong: which one is the 'schism'?
Theycallmejokke: free yourself from you meat suit
3and4fifths: my vote for dungeon frogmen
SquareDotCube: ah, no magic faction
Metric_Furlong: hmm, not actually one of the traditional series faction types, interesting
Drasvin: Is there a faction that can hug dragons?
SquareDotCube: nah magic faction had gremlins, elementals and djinn
Drasvin: I vote for dragon hugging
Metric_Furlong: commence operation Beeg Dungo

Theycallmejokke: What about cool grandma, in the lower coner
3and4fifths: what's the yellow frogguy at the bottom?
RaidenXS_: can you cast magic missile?
Theycallmejokke: The hero portraits are all pretty great honestly
artdecosunburn: Usually best to pick a first hero that matches your civilization/buildings.
SquareDotCube: medusas do get ranged with bow and gaze iirc
artdecosunburn: Dorito Frog for the win.
artdecosunburn: @SquareDotCube Medusas had the great slither sound and angsty cry.
TheMyrdin: This is pretty
Metric_Furlong: "chthonic home' as opposed to all the other homes that are in an underground dungeon Kappa
accountmadeforants: Devir, son of Devir, son of Devir, son of Devir, son of Jake
TheMyrdin: So this is HOMM VIII, but they just called it Olden Era, right?
Theycallmejokke: P much
artdecosunburn: This color scheme reminds me of Ultima VIII: Pagan.
Marcanius: I'd expect H8 to have some sort of campaign, which this game's steam page mentions nothing about
accountmadeforants: She's just exhausted because she's spend the whole time doing sommersaults
SquareDotCube: uh... phrasing?
e_bloc: you can lead a horse to water, but they are anatomically unable to vomit
Theycallmejokke: I think that is against Twich Tos ;P

artdecosunburn: @Mangledpixel Now that's true user interface!
Desruprot: oooh HOMM been 86 years since I have seen one being played
TheMyrdin: @Desruprot Have you tried Hero's Hour, Song of Conquest or Song of Silence?
TheMyrdin: Or the Age of Wonders series?
Theycallmejokke: You would think, you'd want infiltrators in the enemy's army, not once own

lightfut: Mmm beef
RealGamerCow: Oh, this is going to be published by Hooded Horse. They do good games
spo8n: you can make the dragons ride the Minotaur into battle.
RealGamerCow: pickitup pickituppickitup
TehAmelie: dang, not even Theseus gets to ride his minotaur
spo8n: it should be true
KeytarCat: Fish to the fac-e
RealGamerCow: @TehAmelie Depends on what AO3 story you read.
TehAmelie: zing
artdecosunburn: Bingo.
lightfut: Knowledge garden, when you're here you're smarter
ChroniclerC: Oh neat, Troglodytes. Seachats is here! seabatTROG
spo8n: maybe buying means what the players is paying with and selling is what the ai is selling to you?

YFiddler: StinkyCheese
KeytarCat: trugladugs
gualdhar: evening, how goes the olds?
accountmadeforants: @atinyspacemarine We're primarily on Azure so the most annoying thing was Slack having a bit of a time, thankfully.
accountmadeforants: Upgrade seabatTROG to seabatPjorg
Mazrae: hello everyone how are things going, i love the art style of this game just from seeing this
KeytarCat: army is still in the city?
jacqui_lantern234: HAI CORI HAI CHAT lrrSHINE
KeytarCat: Hi Jacqui!
KeytarCat: ooh, and a third hero berth
jacqui_lantern234: @KeytarCat wow! 3 heroes being born at once?!?!?! Kappa
SquareDotCube: I wonder what mechanics from past games will be included, like the grail hunt from HOMM3
Anubis169: !break
LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to. Don't forget to wash your hands!
niccus: have people made a Blackthorne-like?
jacqui_lantern234: but using my eldritch powers to break the fabric of time requires me to stand up :P
KeytarCat: @jacqui_lantern234 Giving cosmic entities chronic illness to subdue them is a comic I'd read
KeytarCat: damned 2 what?
jacqui_lantern234: @KeytarCat if anyone makes this, i better be in this comic as "the one with ptsd"

KeytarCat: phoeninges
NonchalantAvenger: no complaints here about streamer OR the game... but isn't send codes is bad-games with Graham and Alex?
NonchalantAvenger: fake premise ;)
Juliamon: no, that's Watch+Play
Juliamon: which is tomorrow
NonchalantAvenger: thanks! and noted..
KeytarCat: maybe recruit Merry again?
Laserbeaks_Fury: that's where Warcraft 3 lost me
KeytarCat: Does a fleed hero retain levels?
NonchalantAvenger: @Juliamon is this a one-show game or will we come back to this one next week? this game hits my nostalgia vibe spot-on
Juliamon: NonchalantAvenger Just the one episode
NonchalantAvenger: :(
GapFiller: NonchalantAvenger this isnt a one game kinda channel
Juliamon: Send Codes is designed to get through a backlog of gifted codes, spending multiple episodes kinda defeats that purpose
KeytarCat: They've talked about bonus streams to finish games from send codes, but I don't know if that's actually happened
Juliamon: There hasn't been one for Herdling yet
GapFiller: KeytarCat have there really been that many games long enough to sustain a bonus sream
KeytarCat: Better walls and hole up ?
Juliamon: it's easy to say "I want to finish this in a bonus stream" and hard to actually schedule it
KeytarCat: It might have just been herdlings,
niccus: get in there, renovate, leave
NonchalantAvenger: @GapFiller i've seen a lot of completed playthroughs.... just not from this show.. also this is just the demo?! wow... very very highQ and nice
GapFiller: NonchalantAvenger yeh thats not really what this is abt

Juliamon: this game could show up on a different show, like Talking Sim, but there's not really any show for "full playthroughs" anymore.
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon If they do get such a show, they could call it... be kind, rewind.
GapFiller: Juliamon we never did get that James Adam joint Stardew Valley PiF
Pal_Friendpatine: Have we gotten through all the Putt Putt games?
Juliamon: unironically I would like to see some edutainment games on Talking Sim
accountmadeforants: But hey since Ben's started streaming on his home channel again and given that he's a HoMM fan, there's a non-zero chance he ends up playing it there once he's gotten through all the Pokémans :p
NonchalantAvenger: @Juliamon really?? no more play forward? i'm a little sad :(
GapFiller: Juliamon Talking Sim does Dorling Kindersley CD ROM games thats what we really want lrrBEEJ
aquinas_0: they did end up playing through quite a lot
Invitare: Fun fact: Humans also come with a free skeleton
KeytarCat: Zombie Jesus :O
KeytarCat: 👀
Laserbeaks_Fury: the value immediately drops when you open the packaging
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon Full playthrough of all the Max and the so-and-so games. OpieOP (Since this channel's already done the Freddi Fish games. Those games were what my little brother played to death, especially the one with the ghosts.)
TehAmelie: our hands are tied ;_;
Juliamon: I would like a progressive analysis from Oregon Trail and Number Munchers to modern-day things
accountmadeforants: (I have since Google'd that name and it turns out there are multiple Max and the So-and-So edutainment things. I meant the Tivola ones from the 90's)
Juliamon: also Zoombinis because apparently I'm *just* too old to have known about that and I want to know why everyone's got so much nostalgia for it
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon OOoh, Number Munchers is a great shout
niccus: "teachers let you play it" is probably a big factor
silenceaux: Alas, got crunched. But looks like solid Might & Magic.
accountmadeforants: "I'm willing to be paid to play this game", a resounding endorsement Kappa

TehAmelie: Damned 2, or Double Damned
Juliamon: By garbage people, for garbage people, of garbage people
Juliamon: I'm looking forward to Sultan's Game on the *correct* show this time :P
GapFiller: eyyy pumpkins
Metric_Furlong: @Juliamon I think it being natively a Mac game had an amount to do with it, given that pretty much everyone who grew-up in a Mac household around that time has so much fondness for it
Metric_Furlong: (myself included)
NonchalantAvenger: hey new EDSC episode is on youtube! cool
Juliamon: ah yeah that would track, I was very much a DOS girlie
accountmadeforants: @Metric_Furlong I'm still convinced this is also why Myst has such a cult following to this day.

Metric_Furlong: @accountmadeforants yeah, there weren't a lot of games for Macs so the ones that were hits tended to garner very dedicated fanbases. Other examples would include Escape Velocity and Bungie's pre-Halo output (Marathon; Myth)
