Nigouki: wait, it just adds channel points?
Nigouki: we don't even use those!
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Yep, you got it
Mathwyn: @nigouki bonus channel points and ~engagement~
TXC2: Twitch, we're on the intro screen, and you can't even go more then 30 secs without stuttering?
Juliamon: And spam!
Sarah_Serinde: you get the channel points regardless, the button just tells everyone you're watching a lot
Nigouki: engaging MY BALLS...eyeballs
Mathwyn: Honestly the streaks are nice in smaller channels, like mini sub notifications

ContingentCat: the magical fruit
Mathwyn: "Denounce hummus and you go free, else you die"
IanAllenBird: oh hell yes I saw the post in time
Juliamon: Beans!
SymphonySolstice: apply beans

SkylerRingtail: Parasocial relationships, go!
e_bloc: love you too friends
Azralorne: π₯
TehAmelie: oh yeah, Pythagoras didn't believe in beans, or some surreal philosophy along those lines
Valkryir: I am so excited for this
ArdCollider: balls?
Valkryir: this game is a treat
e_bloc: parasocial relationships are better than no relationships, right?
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: And is censoring on?
SymphonySolstice: we are certainly going to have an experience
TXC2: e_bloc debatable
bytecaster: Those steps are so very baby
TXC2: that's a caked up baby
Mathwyn: No noodz
TXC2: Send them
IanAllenBird: there's a lot of dick
Valkryir: a looooot
Nigouki: show the dingle dangle
adurnafricai:
Yaaay I have a twitch account and my favorite show is on! Hope there's a lot of talking about these simulations 
DrLigmaPhD: I heard we're stepping on babies
ContingentCat: anyone who wants can pursue that after the stream
e_bloc: damn you twitch, stop depriving me of digital penis
ArdCollider: where we're hanging dong we don't *need* eyes
TXC2: glasses with water, Like Jon Cryer in Hot shots?
Nigouki: apparently Canon had image stabilized lenses in the 90s where one of the elements is a soft sac of liquid
gnyrinn: Who are Cuzzillo, Boch, and Foddy?
ContingentCat: Cori?
ContingentCat: waht?
BITs19_: Wait, Foddy worked on this?? On brand
Mathwyn: Cori is perfectly normal human yes
SymphonySolstice: NATE
TXC2: ah a devoler game
ContingentCat: mood
TXC2:
ooh that's uncomfortable for me being 36 
niccus: just like Another World!
adurnafricai: Graham has made me unable to hear "nudes" and not want pasta
accountmadeforants: Wait, can we pull a Gideon and drown in the puddle?
Juliamon: kicky kick
SymphonySolstice: dat booty
Brozard: that booty shake
Nigouki: gravity assisted steppies
SnackPak_: thats some good jiggle
TehAmelie: this will be an uphill battle eh
Voidhawk42: So far, not as hard as QWOP
bytecaster: Immediately very qwop, huh
Marvoleath: finally, jiggle physics used for something worthy
artdecosunburn: As someone who had to recently relearn how to walk after surgeries, I wish I could have rotated camera.
Valkryir: if you have any faulty triggers on your controller, this game will be hell btw ask me how I know
ContingentCat: I don't want to think about how long it's been since that's been laundered
evil_h2o_elf: is the onesie the censorship?
BloodnBullets: I came in just in time to see the credit for "Bennet Foddy" and get scared.
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @evil_h2o_elf no
TehAmelie: it looks like it might be comfortable for the body, but it would actually crush your spirit
IanAllenBird: no the censorship is later
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: You will know the censoring when it comes up.
accountmadeforants: Love Nate
BusTed: nice to meet y..ou
SymphonySolstice: dialogue of the century
TXC2: very Taika Watiti coded character we just met
e_bloc: I have reached that level of awkward
IanAllenBird: oh we're schmovin
Darleysam: this game's writing and delivery is sublime
TehAmelie: so we're literally relearning to walk after 20 years on the couch huh
ContingentCat: are we in Australia? not a great place to be barefoot in a jungle
Azralorne: Excuse you this is New Zealand humor lol
Mathwyn: Cam thats how wars start!
Omnipotrevor: Is sliding forward on your face a speed strat?
Azralorne: I think they'd disagree lol
Valkryir: angry kiwi and emu noises
ContingentCat: and they love when you say that
accountmadeforants: No, that's the French and the British
e_bloc: or English and Irish
TXC2:
accountmadeforants thems fighting words 
Azralorne:
I can google it for you Cori 
accountmadeforants:
Germany and the Netherlands are the ones that are basically the same. Oh, and Denmark and Sweden. 
TehAmelie: or a onsie
Ned_Flandalorian: did someone finally make hangover simulator
WiJohn: This man may not be pretty, smart or motivated but he is durable
SymphonySolstice: oof
TXC2: that's an MCL tear
accountmadeforants: He does get knocked down, but he gets up again. You're never gonna keep him down.
e_bloc: @WiJohn hold on adding this to my resume
ContingentCat: lol I love that reassuring him it's not going to cost anything was before not hurting him
adurnafricai: I feel like Jim should lead with the thing he can offer
TheAinMAP:

Papperslappen: uwu
BrowneePointz: OO
Darleysam:

TXC2: this is a Character Adam would come up with
Voidhawk42: This guy has a 2 in every stat except con
accountmadeforants: Oh no, we've got a quest now: Find toilet.
e_bloc: I don't know what prize this game should win, but it should win it
Valkryir: this is a souls game btw
Valkryir: like actually
SymphonySolstice: will nate discover a man's romance? tune in to find out
GhostValv: W A S T E D
ArdCollider: @TXC2 Nate's definitely on the "I will derive the rulebook from pure gnosis, don't tell me shit" end of things, yes
IanAllenBird: what's the dodge roll button
Mathwyn: @valkryir just like baseball!
e_bloc: this is truly art
Valkryir: but like it goes further then that
TehAmelie: time remaining until faceplanting in our pee? i'm gonna bet 2 minutes
Marvoleath: that sure is a tactical dodge roll
BrowneePointz: I've had some Trying to Find a Bathroom encounters I'd describe as Soulslike
ContingentCat: nate is definitly durable
Nigouki: is this where Frodo and Sam got lost?
adurnafricai: the idea of trying to perform a dodge roll with this control scheme is gonna make me cry
accountmadeforants: Nate does feet, no need to worry
ContingentCat: also building caluses on our face and everywhere else
TehAmelie: he does very, very soft feet i think
Brozard: how many pelvi
BrowneePointz: should be at least 6 right?
BrowneePointz: err 5*
QuixoticScrivener: are we including the coccyx?
BrowneePointz: you have at least both hip bones and the pubis
BrowneePointz: so at MINIMUM 3
IanAllenBird: oh no
TXC2: the coccyx is your tail
DrLigmaPhD: I want this game to simply display a little "-1" whenever you fall. It means nothing and does nothing.
TehAmelie: that full split was at least a -4
wedge_x: simply unhinge your pelvis
Alephred: Did Cameron shatter his coccyx at some point?
ArdCollider: I just figured Cam's a skaven and it's rude to ask
niccus: intentionally?
SymphonySolstice: just buy a pair of skiing long johns and you're set
TXC2: yeap, Baby can dislocate your hip during birth, so do those kegals
Mathwyn: Give me glasses and a onesies and I'm basically there
Valkryir: stuff that onesie
SquareDotCube: full couch butt
BrowneePointz: ah 4 pieces yea. Sacrum, coccyx, 2 hip bones(each of which has 3 parts) dang I was close
GhostValv: just get a buttectomy
evil_h2o_elf: butts sold separately
e_bloc: yeah I would need some butt prosthetics but I could do this
DrLigmaPhD: I love how dead the arms are
SpicyNapalm: Ooh, I enjoyed what I've seen of this game, appreciate the artistry of it!
BrowneePointz: Mom was a nurse, so reading way too many anatomy books as a kid sticks in your brain
bytecaster: Birds aren't real, it's true
Mathwyn: I mean birds aren't real yeah
e_bloc: danger
BadRoxie: β¦ for now
QuixoticScrivener: I appreciate that they aren't making us turn back and forth a bunch.
BadRoxie: roughly yes
Darleysam: yeah I don't like this just being lumped into the 'streamer rage game' category, because it's made with a LOT more love than that indicates
Marvoleath: could you walk up that branch?
DrLigmaPhD: -4, was it?
SquareDotCube: you know we're gonna have to walk across a scattered pile of marbles on a tile floor
e_bloc: so is this a toddler simulator
ContingentCat: or he is now
TehAmelie: been doing his couch yoga
ShroomPoof: @QuixoticScrivener Im sensing an ominous "...yet" from this game
Valkryir: I 100% believe he was a child gymnast
Voidhawk42: @e_bloc This man is 20 or 30
SpicyNapalm: On a related note, mods, is this stream labeled for mature audiences, or was there a setting chosen at the beginning of the game to make it stream friendly? There was some footage I've seen which is... censor worthy
IanAllenBird: he's toddling for sure
Mathwyn: @e_bloc more of a manchild really
Mangledpixel: he toddles, therefore a toddler
e_bloc: the game wants us to win, we are equipped with nothing
Darleysam: I see a LOT of myself in this guy
TXC2: SpicyNapalm we chose censored mode
e_bloc: the game is father, we are toddler
TehAmelie: Nate the NEET, aha
SnackPak_:

SpicyNapalm: @txc2 oh thank goodness, so we won't be seeing a lot of [ ] that is present throughout the game, good.
BrowneePointz: and it's important to know, our society used to value and spaces for NEETs but capitalism has uh...changed social dynamics
e_bloc: how many times will we see this man die
Voidhawk42: I want this to be co-op, where Cori has the legs and Cam the arms
BrowneePointz: value and have spaces*
adurnafricai: you can tell the game is doing art when we're less than a half hour in cam's response to things chat says has been "I think that is an intentional message of the narrative"
BITs19_: Please remind me, "NEET"?
Juliamon: Not in Employment, Education or Training
BrowneePointz: not in education, employment or training
Metric_Furlong: @BITs19_ Not in Education Employment or Training
ContingentCat: ohhhhh
TehAmelie: at least our onsie is already so filthy it won't matter if we make it to the bathroom
BITs19_: Gotcha, thanks
Peevvi: as I understand it, Japan got it from the UK
Metric_Furlong: it actually originated in the UK
WiJohn: But yes in onsie!
ButterBall000: For some folks that's called retirement
Voidhawk42: These days it broadly translates as "bum"
e_bloc: you just offended all of the Japanese
bytecaster: It was definitely used in japanese media a lot over they years though
adurnafricai: it's been used as a neutral descriptor, an insult, and an identity label in different contexts
Mathwyn: Japan was the transmission vector
Juliamon: Japan latched onto it as they are wont to do with many English words and phrases
TheMerricat: "A NEET, an acronym for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training", is a person who is unemployed and not receiving an education or vocational training. The classification originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1990s, and its use has spread, in varying degrees, to other countries, including Canada, China, Japan, Serbia, South Korea and the United States. "
SymphonySolstice: his arm mass wnt into his cheeks
DrLigmaPhD: That's not cake, that's the oven

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!)
e_bloc: I believe thats what they call a show-stopper in the great british bake off
Metric_Furlong:
Chat is currently grappling with the concept of other languages using English loanwords 
TehAmelie: we're basically Doomguy now
TXC2:
he has a BBL, as in the whole nation of Brazil is lifting his butt 
TheMerricat: "The NEET category includes the unemployed (individuals without a job and seeking one), as well as individuals outside the labour force (without a job and not seeking one). It is usually age-bounded to exclude people in old-age retirement."
wildpeaks: om nom nom
e_bloc: I think I would need some hair gel to get my hair to do that, but otherwise I'm 90% of the way there
BrowneePointz: but yea in Japan (and the US/UK) it's usually used derogatorily, however it IS fair to note, both Japan and the US are two of the most overworked populations on the planet, and as such view people as innately moral failings, which is a much, MUCH more recent societal thing
BrowneePointz: view such*
EvilBadman: Delicious wax
TXC2:
Metric_Furlong yes, because that's our language gimmick! 
Omnipotrevor: So what are we thinking, bowl of wax?
adurnafricai: I look away for ten seconds and there's something in his mouth
TheMerricat: @browneepointz ignoring the history of the poor houses, and such
Alephred: That basement setup looks quite cozy.
e_bloc: are you still watching one piece. lol
SymphonySolstice: poison swamp.........
e_bloc: shit it is dark souls
TehAmelie: i'd qualify as a neet in that i don't have a "paying" job or taking "formal" education. . .
tidehollowcat: it really is dark souls!
NoxStryx: Does the character always look like paul or did they customize him to look like that?
TheAinMAP:

TXC2:
oh I'm a NEET, have been for 15 years 
Shurtal: i love how the dialog in this game is just "We locked these dudes in a room and told them to talk. there MAY have been a microphone involved
Wolfstrike_NL: I miss when we had a map
ContingentCat: and completely not noticing us leaning away
IanAllenBird: uwu
DeM0nFiRe: uwu!
SymphonySolstice: uwu
Juliamon: uwu
ArdCollider: uWu!
Astramentha: uwu
TXC2: NoxStryx no, this is the default look
e_bloc: uwu
Nigouki: well that just came out
adurnafricai:
uwu 
DrLigmaPhD: uwu
TehAmelie: uwu brother
e_bloc: unbelievablly
Darleysam:

BrowneePointz: @TheMerricat I mean by recent I don't just mean THIS century but past couple hundred years ye
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: You didn't take the mpa
DeM0nFiRe: legs are not supposed to do that
IanAllenBird: true
ContingentCat: stretch break
Mathwyn: Knees are optional
TehAmelie: i think our right foot not go that way either
Valkryir: it's like looking into a mirror
WiJohn: Durable, caked up and flexible? This guy is totally employable!
Valkryir: and it hurts
SymphonySolstice: I feel seen here
bytecaster: I say uwu all the time
protojman: "i better get out of this conversation before i muck it up"
Mathwyn: We all have a nate inside us
e_bloc: at the very least, this is how I feel like people experience conversations with me
kingandcommoner: The Eldritch Fear of Being Seen
TXC2: Valkryir looking in a mirror isn't meant to hurt?
Metric_Furlong:
@WiJohn the problem is everytime he's called for an interview he awkwardly insists he's already employed 
Valkryir: @TXC2 oh no
TehAmelie: it does seem more achievable than QWOP walking
SymphonySolstice: slide strat
ContingentCat: the slide forward looks painful
QuixoticScrivener: speed run tactics
TheMerricat: QWOP we'd still be in the cave.
BITs19_: Gotta say, I'm intrigued by this so far
Marvoleath: can you just stay down, or does it get up automatically?
BITs19_: I want to see where this goes
Shurtal: What if Journey (to a Tesco at 2am)
Darleysam:

e_bloc: climbing a mountain while suffering a brutal gout attack
ContingentCat: we're not making it worse
SymphonySolstice: wet
Mathwyn: I hope nate lets us
WiJohn: heheheh
Voidhawk42: That sounds much harder than climbing the mountain tbh
EvilBadman: I just want a door to open to a large field and Crucible Knight
tdapenguin: are you taking this one to the store? i keep expecting this to go to the store ......
spethycakes: @tdapenguin that's for next week
GhostValv: I'm sure it'll be fine
IanAllenBird: go skyrim fish
BITs19_: so, what i'm getting about Nate so far is that not only is he a NEET, he has strong anxieties around receiving help
DeM0nFiRe:

BusTed:

SymphonySolstice: soggy
Wolfstrike_NL: We're kind of clean
e_bloc: !clip
LRRbot:

wildpeaks: that's one way to take a shower
Greyah: Hey you're cleaner now.
ContingentCat: oh no wet butt
spethycakes: poor nate must be so uncomfy
WiJohn: Really it would have been unfair to the audience not to have fallen
kingandcommoner: o7
adurnafricai: the fact that both the metaphor for this character's disfunction and direct examples of the disfunction are appearing side by side is making it harder for me to parse
Mangledpixel: to quote my grandfather, "careful where you put your feet, some of these rocks are sliβ whoup! *splash*"
ContingentCat: trust can be hard
BITs19_: I wouldn't say fears from being tricked, but anxiety about being perceived as helpless
wildpeaks: ow
SymphonySolstice: oofa
GhostValv: D:
Chronomagistrate: OOF
BusTed:

DrLigmaPhD: My nose felt that
TXC2: BITs19_ I suspect that he sees himself as a burden and doesn't like it, but also wont except help as he feels he doesn't dersve it
ContingentCat: ouch
TheMerricat: That's a broken nose
Marvoleath: I hope his parents got a family dental plan
wildpeaks: is the collectable Nate's teeth
SquareDotCube: this man is going to die from bruises
TehAmelie: what a grip
ShroomPoof: That was a very juicy impact
spethycakes: oh no, he's SLITHERING
protojman: reminds me a lot of buying a car for the first time
wildpeaks: gesundheit
TXC2: bless you
ContingentCat: gesuheit
tdapenguin: to be fair, walking isn't the best way to scramble up smooth-ish rockface
TXC2:

ContingentCat: lrrGOAY
ContingentCat:
8 
SkylerRingtail: @TXC2 Well, _I_ certainly feel called out...
IanAllenBird: oh !
Angnor33: Nice 'shrooms.
TehAmelie: are these metaphorical mushrooms?
Darleysam: I just love the notion of making a walking-sim this literal, that ends up making you *really* have to pay attention to your environment
DrLigmaPhD: Cold here, ain't it?
TXC2:
SkylerRingtail oh don't worry, I am calling myself out 
ContingentCat: ouch
Voidhawk42: The good news is that Nate's brain is undamaged by falling. Because it's the size of a walnut.
SymphonySolstice: percarious...
GhostValv:

spethycakes: the sympathetic pain intensifies...
adurnafricai: @TXC2 from my experience, the barrier to accepting help can just as easily be fear of having someone realize how bad-off you really are
TXC2:
Voidhawk42 untouched by physical trauma, VERY much touched by emotional trauma 
SymphonySolstice: nooo
ContingentCat: Nooooo
TXC2: adurnafricai indeed
TheAinMAP:

HadesLeprechaun: he might not be the best at walking, but his step is very solid once it finds purchase
WiJohn: Down in a hole!
GhostValv: I feel that in my soul
wildpeaks: we have become one with the earth
IanAllenBird: rip
ContingentCat: the shiny orb
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Must get the fruit.
wildpeaks: we shall ponder the shiny orb

Antimuffin: Good morning all
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Antimuffin! (Today's storm count: 5)
BITs19_: I want nothing more for Nate right now than to see him actively seek help
TehAmelie: feel like crawling would be a better option here
TXC2: I've seen my horse boyfriend, now that's some disassociation
BrowneePointz: I feel like Adiemus should be playing on loop
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Can you draw Horse Girl?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @BITs19_ welcome to the theme of the game.
tdapenguin: @TehAmelie always a great choice when footing is problematic. too bad this is called 'baby steps' and not 'baby crawling'
TXC2: this is reminding me of that movie about the guy who had to climb down a mountain on his own with a broken leg
NorthstarTex: hello cam and cori, how's the steppies?
BITs19_:

ContingentCat: daaaang Cori actively gaming
TXC2: hello NorthstarTex welcome
TehAmelie: do you think the game will let you die and restart from a checkpoint? *crosses fingers*
wedge_x: is this... destiny?
IanAllenBird: nooo
ContingentCat: noooo
wildpeaks: woohoo, road trip
IanAllenBird: oh fun
NorthstarTex: f
RatherLargeToad: heβs fine
TheAinMAP:

Darleysam: ooroo
Juliamon: that is a *hell* of a slide
ContingentCat: I lvoe that he makes no attempt to stop himself
DrLigmaPhD: That was excruciating
DeM0nFiRe:

ArdCollider: lol that was like the ad where the footy player slides around the pitch like a fucking bumper car after a goal
WiJohn: Well, if you hadn't peed before you probably have now
TXC2: the struggle to get back to square one, how I know it too well
e_bloc: the inevitable has occurred
Nigouki: just ride it out...wait to stop...check for injuries
wildpeaks: "this is my life now"
Valkryir: taking the scenic route
HadesLeprechaun: now you've got a wet *and* dirty jumper
BrowneePointz: Cori is what we call "Jod's Perfect Jamer"
e_bloc: Nate has . . . limitations
ContingentCat: Nate's doing his best
TXC2: to be fair to Nate, Acceptance is the first step
DeM0nFiRe: It's the scarlet rot swamp, totaly different
Frankensteins_Hamster: thats some good squish sounds
e_bloc: I thought left trigger was the first step
Laserbeaks_Fury: it appears to be a ferrous wheel
Voidhawk42: I had a sudden moment, of wondering what is weirder: that someone made this, that you're playing it, or that I'm watching it
IanAllenBird:

wildpeaks: uh oh
ContingentCat: we're home
DeM0nFiRe:

ArdCollider: aur naur steppy
e_bloc: nate showing resillence
TehAmelie: for a moment there it seemed like Nate had a survival instinct
accountmadeforants: Ah, it's Assassin' Creed now, what with the leap of faith
ContingentCat: it worked
TXC2: !clips

DrLigmaPhD: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters He won't mind
Joecool190: god the brown PJs are so upsetting
accountmadeforants: I just like how Nate gets increasingly more dirty
TehAmelie: a journey of a thousand steps ends with falling at the last step and backsliding
e_bloc: perhaps a little CTE could improve the situation
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @accountmadeforants Can always take a dip in the water.
accountmadeforants: I hope we can find some different colours of gunk to dirty Nate with.
accountmadeforants: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters And remove this beautiful patina he' building?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Mud flowed up up into Nate's pajamas. He totally confused all the passing piranhas
wildpeaks: he is remarquably sturdy
IanAllenBird: it does but only downward
e_bloc: the human body is designed for locomotion. how you achieve that however, is up to you
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yes. Downhill
RatherLargeToad: yes. you travel very fast when you fall down
ContingentCat: sliding downhill is this game's fasttraavel
EvilBadman: just asstravel
BITs19_: that's a pulled groin
BrowneePointz: that "oh shit" was so pitiful
TheMerricat: Have we actually tried grabbing anything yet?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Nate is like the Passive voice given form
ArdCollider: I tripped and fell down a rather large hill in Berkeley once and had to lithobrake with one boob.
ContingentCat: @TheMerricat our arms are decorative
ArdCollider: Worked. Don't recommend it.
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Nate's good at feet, he does feet.
tdapenguin: @e_bloc i asked somoene once who researched gait, and said 'whats up with knees' and the response was basically 'they made sense before we came down from trees. ... and then we were stuck with them ever since'
Marvoleath: this kinda reminds me of Daniel's Radcliff acting in Swiss Army Man
IanAllenBird: baby stop iterating
e_bloc: perhaps I'm a sadist, but I would love to see Nate learn about terminal velocity
ContingentCat: the original baby no money
tdapenguin: @ArdCollider ouch ouch ouch
Voidhawk42: @e_bloc Nate has never learnt anything a day in his life, and he's not going to start today
DrLigmaPhD: Limbo
SymphonySolstice: ankles: dust
adurnafricai: I don't think being told he's let someone down is what this man needs today
bytecaster: Oh! Free Cup!
Singenmeister: This entire exercise resembles a Neolithic rain dance
gualdhar: But who C. U. P.?
ContingentCat: is the cup a lie/
IanAllenBird: sounds like a challenge
niccus: oh did you see that game that's built around the nutty putty cave accident diagram
Lord_Hosk: thats quitter talk
DrLigmaPhD: I've been depressed but never refuse to use my arms depressed
Mangledpixel: I can see the speedruns of this game being wild
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I can confirm that at least some challenges set up by this game are achievable.
e_bloc: you can get the cup in the same way I could buy a house
IanAllenBird: oh I don't like that
ContingentCat: but also absolutely don't want to go caving yeah
accountmadeforants: Oh yeah caving terrifies me
e_bloc: I think that's how he went
TheMerricat: A quick troll of YouTube does indicate it's possible to get the cup.
gualdhar: Oof oof owie his nuts
TehAmelie: hmm do you think they will have a speedrun category for "no anatomic trauma"?
accountmadeforants: It does have a demo
SymphonySolstice: my only real phobia is specifically caves, but they're so cool...
TXC2: never ever go into the Earth, she doesn't like it
IanAllenBird: it's not a lie until q1 26
Shurtal: if you remember that "Man in cave" video (the plagiraised one) from few years ago, i watched that, while working in a cave. it messed me UP
Marvoleath: I once crawled through a cave where you couldnt change the position of your limbs once inside, dont recommend
adurnafricai: I wonder if there's a form of caving that could be done involving exclusively very wide spaces
Lord_Hosk: The next Star Control game from Fred and Paul is coming out in August of 2025... so ANY day now
Valkryir: nup to the cup
niccus: @adurnafricai freehand rockclimbing
accountmadeforants: (Also Unbeatable just got delayed to next month, maybe we just skip November save for DB)
bytecaster: But what if we need to drink something, we'd need that cup
BrowneePointz: Giving up on the cup and going to visit the Circus? Sounds like the Blue Jays
wedge_x: my dad very briefly did some cave diving. he never talked fondly of it
ContingentCat: just diving forward is quite a choice
TehAmelie: this is kind of like fast travel
TXC2: !addquote (Cori) [now] We're giving up on the CUP, we're going to the Circus!
LRRbot: New quote #9425: "We're giving up on the CUP, we're going to the Circus!" βCori [2025-11-06]
BrowneePointz: (yes I know it's the Pennant chat)
IanAllenBird: if that guy wanted his cup so bad he can go get it
WiJohn: Swims like a dolphin
ArdCollider: cam what's its little finch name
wedge_x: um
SymphonySolstice:

wedge_x: I've seen this movie
IanAllenBird:

DrLigmaPhD: Cam's finch is actively the opposite of Nate
Shurtal: it's Nandosan Black!
accountmadeforants: This sparks joy
kharnor: I can recommend taking a guided tour of large, well-lit caves. I went to Jenolan caves near Sydney. Beautiful stalactites, it was like a natural cathedral
DeM0nFiRe: neverending story or something, idk I dont watch movies
IanAllenBird: oh a bird
tdapenguin: perfect, 10/10
EvilBadman: what up Artax
niccus: the reassurance that he's aware
BoatyMcBoatfaceJr subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 98 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, BoatyMcBoatfaceJr! (Today's storm count: 6)
Mangledpixel: that "god" has a "not again" energy to it
QuixoticScrivener: Artax, no!
IanAllenBird: fascinating worldbuilding
QuixoticScrivener: The book is worse than the movie, because Artax has depression dialogue.
wedge_x: the swamp of childhood trauma
DrLigmaPhD: Has Nate interrogated where he is since his arrival?
adurnafricai: hm. carousel horse. okay, I'm no longer considering the possibility this location is diegetic
ContingentCat: the horses are fleeing the circus
QuixoticScrivener: yes
Valkryir: decaying remains of a previous civilization - souls like
IanAllenBird: hotline miami?
niccus: devolver's got a ton nowadays
LordZarano: Ball X Pit
BrowneePointz: Cult of the Lamb, Inscryption
Marvoleath: @DrLigmaPhD he did asked if this is a camp of some sort at start
EvilBadman: they're a publisher, so they sign a bunch of wild things
BrowneePointz: Trek to Yomi
BrowneePointz: Hotline Miami
TheDevil_Risen: how's the walking sim going?
HadesLeprechaun: can confirm the side objectives in this game are achievable, and there are a LOT, like this is a 10ish hour game to reach the ending, but can easily be 70+
BrowneePointz: Talos Principle
spethycakes: Cult of the Lamb is Devolver
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @TheDevil_Risen It has been going downhill
spethycakes: as is Inscryption
bytecaster: "You are the chosen Nate"
spethycakes: Terra Nil, too
IanAllenBird: it's missing a huge pile of corpses showing you that you are a meaningless one of many
e_bloc: yes, for one side or the other
Laserbeaks_Fury: Like, all the undead that attack you are just poeple who gave up
adurnafricai: how does victory being inevitable connect to decaying civilizations?
ContingentCat: oh god a big tummy print
Singenmeister: So Dark Souls is the infinite typing monkeys of video games m
TXC2: !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!
IanAllenBird: oh he's been watching one piece
Valkryir: I would love to see you guys do a full playthrough of this. but I know that's asking a lot
SymphonySolstice: @IanAllenBird that's why he's been stuck on the couch for 15 years
TehAmelie: Nate doesn't seem to make footprints. he's environmentally neutral
Metric_Furlong:
@adurnafricai if everyone spent all their time beating dark souls then civilization would collapse 
TXC2: right chat I'm off
Singenmeister: @Metric_Furlong How could we tell the difference?
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Cori and Cameron
spethycakes: Have a good one, TXC2 !
ContingentCat: Ooo Root next AFK

IanAllenBird: o7 txc2
Metric_Furlong: @Singenmeister we couldn't, we'd be too busy beating dark souls to notice
niccus: his outlook on life makes more sense given who his dad is implied to be (but i dont know where exactly in the game this gets implied)
adurnafricai: @Metric_Furlong but inevitably, we would all beat dark souls and once again be able to notice
Metric_Furlong:
@adurnafricai but then we have to beat Dark Souls 2 
IanAllenBird: oh good lamp
e_bloc: I mean you can any bong
SnackPak_: real fake bongs
SymphonySolstice: the stack of pringles cans
IanAllenBird: is that a carton of milk
e_bloc: why milk
BusTed: steel maybe
TheDevil_Risen: seduction school
e_bloc: could be steel, yeah
IanAllenBird: steel makes more sense to me
Kipstar: needs milk for the bong
SnackPak_: please be romance and not pick-up books
IanAllenBird: 4 separate cans of pringles
e_bloc: call me crazy, but even when I am deep in depression, I put the milk back in the fridge
ContingentCat: that couch dent is tragic
LordZarano: "Seductive" I think
e_bloc: yeah that's some baby shoes level shitr
tidehollowcat: so many cans of pringles
7gorobei: that cushion has given up the ghost
realbadatthis_: big ass big dent
ContingentCat: he really needs to rotate those cushins
rustywir3s: laptop and tv
BrowneePointz: I hope Nate isn't the kind of jerk one piece fan that says Yamato isn't a Trans Man
e_bloc: I've never seen that kind of piping in a finished basement though
BITs19_: I want an expansion to Powerwash Simulator that's just Nate
IanAllenBird: it's a Are You Still Watching screen
ContingentCat: on the screen the Netflix 'are you still watching' message
Mathwyn: I think I cleaned this in powerwash simulator
Capt_clown: It's the 4Kids dub, the man is a monster!
lamina5432: seems like someone that needs one piece's hope
BrowneePointz: although I decided to start One Piece during the pandini cuz well, free time
BrowneePointz: god does he
ContingentCat: During my depression spiral I regularly woke up to that screen, but Grey's Anatomy not One Peice
Singenmeister: *Skyrim Atmospheres begins playing*
ContingentCat: but the baby is us
TehAmelie: i hope at the end of the game you get a tally of dislocations, tears and bones you should have broken
Laserbeaks_Fury: Nothing lasts, but it doesn't stop
Shurtal: Love me a Failed Civilization Subway Sandwich
Capt_clown:
This really is just The Proclaimers simulator
I would walk 500 miles...
ContingentCat: everything stays
ludusprime: nothing lasts but you're here. whutr u guna du
Valkryir: also there is no fail state
KeytarCat: You witness and fight the people who are stuck in a civilization that failed, those who did not contiunue
BrowneePointz: Peter S Beagle wrote a good book
Gekyouryuu: Oh, hot diggity! My desert bus shirt shipped.
bytecaster: So society is not a video game, got it
Astramentha: "How DARE you come to me now?!" is brutal
lamina5432: matching some deep one piece lore and spoilers in that line of thought
Laserbeaks_Fury: Speaking of sysiphean tasks: Are you still watching One Piece? is a hell of a maessage on the TV
IanAllenBird: It feels so close to doable
Shurtal: "After everything you're still here" but for civilization
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: It might not be the proper route to get up there
Capt_clown: The theme song goes HARD!!!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Rene Auberjonois was that skeleton
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Odo.
bytecaster: He also talks about the Antichrist a lot
Faulpyr: I was just watching that Behind the Bastards
CaptainSpam: So this game is basically the walking part of Octodad, but moreso?
Singenmeister: He got so rich he canβt handle the reality of not being a literal god.
IanAllenBird: the CTE on this man
Voidhawk42: @Singenmeister But I won! I got the high score! I'm special, I must be!"
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @IanAllenBird the good news is, he can't spell CTE anymore.
Valkryir: really have to finesse the knees
bytecaster: sixpack of beer
Astramentha: we all have six packs underneath our skin
SymphonySolstice: just like me fr fr
e_bloc: 4 loco and red bull
BrowneePointz: woah woah woah, I hate beer, but I enjoy hard liquor
spethycakes: a bong-smoking child
Faulpyr: Beer is truly awful
LilyOfTheVeil666: What I find interesting about these types of games is how they (intentionally or not) reflect disabled experiences
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I feel very called out by Nate...
Voidhawk42: Nate never found a goal he can't walk away from
Laserbeaks_Fury: a six pack of sunkist, maybe
vinewood_og: Not sure what I was expecting from Death Stranding 2....
IanAllenBird: maybe we come back when we get the double jump upgrade
Mangledpixel: !birb
LRRbot: CAW CAW!
GhostValv: cacaw
artdecosunburn: @LilyOfTheVeil666 Definitely true.
SymphonySolstice: oh that leg did not bend in the right direction
e_bloc: I wouldn't drink beer for a very long time as I thought it tasted bad. eventually I found I liked some sours
NorthstarTex: gods its been so long since i hard baman piderman mentioned
BrowneePointz: july 2008
niccus: you have one year
artdecosunburn: I've been on first a walker and a cane for several months now, and seeing Nate topple over here reminds me of how I feel at curbs.
artdecosunburn: The noises are real
WiJohn: egg
SnackPak_: egg?
IanAllenBird: toward egg
NorthstarTex: egg?
itmightbemikey: egg
tdapenguin: 'Non-Euclidean Body' would make such a great disability group name (i don't care, a band, a meet-up group, a blog title)
e_bloc: egg minigame
TehAmelie: he reminds me of the nightmares about falling off cliffs i had when i was using crutches
ContingentCat: also shoes
artdecosunburn: @TehAmelie Exactly. The visceral loss of control.
BrowneePointz: Obviously the entire onesie should be padded
TehAmelie: yeop
wedge_x: this man has a groin of steel
artdecosunburn: @tdapenguin Would their rivals be "The Vitruvian Men" ?
LilyOfTheVeil666: @artdecosunburn The way he moves is similar to how I move sometimes with MS
accountmadeforants:
If that doesn't happen, Foddy's gone soft 
ContingentCat: or a pyramid of pringle cans like in your room
BrowneePointz: I'm MOSTLY just chuckling at how much cake they gave Nate, but, it's JUST his butt. His hips/lowerback/lower belly are NOT indicative of him having that much cake. also he has a very tall torso like Michael Phelps
tdapenguin: @artdecosunburn yes!
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Head towards soup
bytecaster: It might be just what life feels like for nate, everything is challenging for him, while everybody else is having a good time
artdecosunburn: @LilyOfTheVeil666 Makes sense. I'm sorry for your condition. I definitely feel the wobbliness in his virtual steps.
IanAllenBird: there's something about the lack of music in this that my brain can't finish the thought about
IanAllenBird: frogge
artdecosunburn: @BrowneePointz Do they make onesies with that collar size?
tdapenguin: @artdecosunburn etsy ?
Feriority: Where are we going? I mean presumably the big glowy place but what's there?
ContingentCat: @IanAllenBird maybe meant to highlight the sound of every belaboured step, and the groans when he falls
tdapenguin: i agree, nate, i agree
HadesLeprechaun: we're workin up some nice sweat stains
artdecosunburn: @Feriority Isn't that the premise of most of mythology and religion?
ContingentCat: thanks gravity
Valkryir: you can doo itt
Juliamon: sure... sweat
Laserbeaks_Fury: She chose DOWN!
Juliamon: those stains are definitely just sweat
RatherLargeToad: Iβll soften my fall with my head
BrowneePointz: Idk. As a Fat person who works in plus sized modeling etc, any sizing above 3XL in Mens/Masc starts becoming an absolute shit show @artdecosunburn
DeM0nFiRe:

BlueFingers5:

TehAmelie:

Kipstar: never didn't have it
ContingentCat:

SnackPak_: that was amazing
tdapenguin: @BrowneePointz ugh. i am very annoyed by that
DeM0nFiRe: Actively gaming
BusTed: we're doing it..?
BITs19_: but like, this is the same sort of puzzle you've already solved. It just looks scary because there's nothing below
ContingentCat: pro Gamer Cori
Laserbeaks_Fury: He's got a very Gang Beasts physically
tdapenguin: @BrowneePointz not surprized, mind you, just angry
ludusprime: this is so high stress
BalthusHomewood: struttin
ludusprime: what is dark souls but walking
TehAmelie: i was thinking of Dear Esther before
ludusprime: harrowing
SnackPak_:

BalthusHomewood: Heaps of Walking
IanAllenBird: oh I can feel the mud
DeM0nFiRe: squelch
wedge_x: baby clicker
Feriority: @artdecosunburn Fair enough.
ContingentCat: oh god that sound
Laserbeaks_Fury: so Dark Soles?
artdecosunburn: @BrowneePointz Do you have similar issues with shoes? I have exceptionally wide feet and take a 5E or 6E.
Marvoleath:
@Laserbeaks_Fury 
BalthusHomewood: RIP
tdapenguin: dark soles -- how's his feet?
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: You have certainly found a path.
TheDevil_Risen: nice bridge
ludusprime: i wish there was an over the top edge lord antagonist thats just a voice over telling you'll never walk good
BalthusHomewood: More like Oh Shit
ContingentCat: osha has several notes
BrowneePointz: @artdecosunburn I don't know if that's us or EU but yes
BusTed: big steppy
artdecosunburn: Well, OSHA is shut down right now.
e_bloc: I don't know that there is proper jurisdiction]
TehAmelie: loophole: this isn't a workplace
BalthusHomewood: bravo!
ArdentSlacker: OSHA is fine with it, because it's not a workplace? The O is for Occupational and this guy is extremely not employed.
ContingentCat:

Juliamon:

rentar42: qwop3d looks nice
LordZarano: It's called WorkSafe New Zealand
CaptainSpam: I still say Octodad 2.
TheDevil_Risen: worksafe BC
ContingentCat: this game really rewards, slow is smooth, smooth is fast
TheDevil_Risen: is what i know of
SymphonySolstice: OH&S here
artdecosunburn: @ArdentSlacker NEETSHA would be a really interesting agency. "Your basement needs more railings."

SnackPak_: not too bad

vinewood_og:

IanAllenBird: it might go a little something
BalthusHomewood: return to monke!
artdecosunburn: He's like an Irish dancer. Hands are verboten.
BusTed:

rustywir3s: weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ContingentCat: oh nooooo
e_bloc: goodbye dear friend
ghostchild99: me in middle school
ContingentCat: fast travel
rentar42: that's where we wanted to go, right?
voren_chalco: Weeee!
Omnipotrevor: He isn't getting nearly enough airtime for that
niccus: the mako is a skyrim horse, therefore it'd be umamusume
Valkryir: theres more than one way up, if that helps
SymphonySolstice:

EvilBadman: i don't know what I want to see more: Speedwalks of this, or someone porting Nate to like the Lands Between
DeM0nFiRe: Listen I know it's hard to scratch that one spot on your back, but this seems extreme
IanAllenBird: so this is where the getting over it dialog would kick in
CaptainSpam: Anyway, this is gaming.
vinewood_og: Tony Hawk's Pro Facer
Laserbeaks_Fury: It could be worse, there could be Thresher Maws
wedge_x: need a supercut of this set to Voices by Russ Ballard
e_bloc: may the ground always rise to meet your filthy onesie
IanAllenBird: can you reload from checkpoint.
Laserbeaks_Fury: This is just Snakes and Ladders
BalthusHomewood: Man, Frodo's life went down-hill
tdapenguin: has gdq done this one yet?
TehAmelie: on the bright side, we narrowly avoided sliding head first into the boulder
ContingentCat: if it helps he probably hates himself too
TheDevil_Risen: cori, are you ok?
vinewood_og: Gotta lay off the sauce
IanAllenBird: eat them whole
Laserbeaks_Fury: Snakes and Ladders as a life philosophy
KeytarCat: I just jammed my ankle into my chair and made a Nate noise...
RealGamerCow: that is a mud luge
vinewood_og: Ask to see life's manager
rentar42: I think this is a case of "computer says no"
wedge_x: "slide."
Valkryir: also I love seeing how people don't see themselves as Nate in this game, like many games you feel as you are the main character
artdecosunburn: It's like a mirrorverse of balance-less Frodo hoofing to Mordor without Sam.
Feriority: I feel gross just looking at that onesie.
wedge_x: eyy
Valkryir: but in this game, we are not nate, we blame him
ContingentCat: well with so much mud in his onesy it's bound to be pretty slick
WiJohn: Man is definitely a series of fluid filled sacks
rentar42: @Valkryir I feel like the little "oh no" shouts make it feel less like the player is the character
Omnipotrevor: That outfit is frictionless
SymphonySolstice: this man has mud in every crevasse
ArdCollider: man's bones are constantly making him even moister and more pliable
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Why do we fall down, Master Nate?"
TehAmelie: i went for a walk earlier but i went back almost immediately cause my ankle hurt. . .
Juliamon: we are him, and we haaaate him
ContingentCat: I've been this man, it sucks
TheDevil_Risen: has Cam piloted today?
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Man is a meat donut.
vinewood_og: 2025 does feel like a dirty onesie
IanAllenBird: those rocks were so promising
e_bloc: if nate can't go to the mountain,bring the mountain to nate
Kipstar: NGL sliding down that hill looks kinda fun
rentar42: I like the spirited "oh crap" followed by immediately giving up and just letting gravity do its thing until the movement stops ... you do you, nate
artdecosunburn: Imagine a future where digital archaeologists discover this game as the only surviving piece of media from this decade.
Omnipotrevor: So no Getting Over It Talking Sim then?
IanAllenBird: that feels overly dismissive
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!)
RealGamerCow: it's so much better than the standard rage game
Laserbeaks_Fury: You feel too bad for Nate to get mad.
EvilBadman: Yeah this has the emergent humor, but also the conversations are unhinged when you do see people
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: It isn't as rage inducing, but there are certainly the moments where you slide further away from your goal
Valkryir: I was driven forward in this game soley by wanting to see more dialogue
rentar42: I would love to see the logs of the playtest sessions of this ... would they measure quality in average-time-to-broken-controller?
TehAmelie: there was a definite "why won't you die?" vibe a few minutes ago
RealGamerCow: There sure are some interesting characters in this
artdecosunburn: @EvilBadman It's like Henri Bergson's theory of humor manifest.
EvilBadman: @rentar42 I (don't) want to meet people who habitually break controllers via rage
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I hope they get to certain characters before the stream ends.
DeM0nFiRe: Good thing that boulder was there to break his fall
ghostchild99: yep this is exactly likemy middle school
Laserbeaks_Fury: I would accuse Nate of weaponized incompetence, be he also steadfastly refuses help.
CaptainSpam: And he never *learns* anything, or *improves* at walking at all.
SymphonySolstice: @DeM0nFiRe break his fall, and several other things
ContingentCat: @Laserbeaks_Fury yeah this incompetence is entirely genuine
artdecosunburn: "Nate abides."
KeytarCat: Natural disaster of incompetence
IanAllenBird: it's also only hurting himself (in this world)
ContingentCat: he's doing his best, he just sucks
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: stairs
TehAmelie: i think it's mostly self-hate
BrowneePointz: Weaponized Incompetence is NOT the same as Learned Helplessness Chat
RealGamerCow: he's doing what he thinks is his best
BrowneePointz: all signs point to the latter for Nate
e_bloc: I think for everyone, this is a metaphor for some part of their life
artdecosunburn: This is eerily like my stairs PT session early today, minus the stained onesie.
IanAllenBird: I am glad that I can only relate to some parts of Nate and not every single part
rentar42: there's the whole "be the person you were on your best day" saying. And nate just feels like he peaked as a toddler.
KeytarCat: The getting up animation is so clean, it's like that's the only thing he knows how to do
Mathwyn: Are we saying Nate's helplessness is inherent? All natural?
IanAllenBird: @artdecosunburn do they have a big mud pit at your PT
Valkryir: @artdecosunburn I can only imagine this is how I look on a stairmaster
artdecosunburn: @IanAllenBird Only on special days.
tdapenguin: the most unreal part of this is no snacks
TehAmelie: the part where he wrestled himself out of that carriage wreck showed some great physical ability
BrowneePointz: All things considered, there's something to say about Nate still *trying* he's not giving many quips about giving up
IanAllenBird: @artdecosunburn Luckyyy
WiJohn: Normally when you fall down rocks are a problem, here they're your best friend
TheDevil_Risen: was that a phone ringing?
BrowneePointz: or just laying down, he's still *trying*
DeM0nFiRe: I just realized this game is Snow Runner. You try to very carefully get places, sometimes carrying a payload (cup) and instead you fall off a mountain and cry
spethycakes: sometimes when you ~must~, your body finds a way
rustywir3s: oh noooo
TheDevil_Risen: @DeM0nFiRe yeah its walking sim snow runner
e_bloc: perhaps he was banished by some minor diety
Valkryir: the cave was rebirth?
WiJohn: Water slide!
artdecosunburn: Do we think Nate has an inner monologue, or is he suppressing the voice in his head in favor of groans and environmental noises?
Mathwyn: This is the worst isekai
Voidhawk42: You ever have a stroke so hard you Iskai yourself?
BalthusHomewood: Isakaied
Omnipotrevor: I wonder if his parents will ever even check
TehAmelie: the looking glass was Netflix's One Piece
IanAllenBird: he got isekai'd from bad pizza
DeM0nFiRe: @TheDevil_Risen Snow Walker
BalthusHomewood: Wait, were not in Japan. Its only an Isakai if its in Japan, otherwise its just Sparkling Portal Fiction
artdecosunburn: @TehAmelie His upper body strength is surely getting better by continuously hoisting himself up.
IanAllenBird: yeah but he's a weeb
SymphonySolstice: kneecaps: dust
ContingentCat: everybody do the flop!
BrowneePointz: Oh please, Alice In Wonderland and Wizard of Oz are both Isekais and way predate the trope @BalthusHomewood
KeytarCat: I just found a Canadian quarter in my laundry money... I'm in a differen CA
Nigouki: I really hope they give you another Walk On Rocks bit but it's MXC style where some of them fall away
BalthusHomewood: Nate, walk for yourself or we will pound your nuts into this bedrock so. many. times.
BrowneePointz: yea as someone with very sensitive soles the falls aren't making me recoil, it's watching Nate walk on rocks
BrowneePointz: my whole body is nearly seizing up at the tactile thought
e_bloc: progress, not perfection
BalthusHomewood: @BrowneePointz The joke is based on the fact that Isakai is a Japanese word, but true, its an old concept.
artdecosunburn: For being an imagined world of Nate's fever dream, the landscape has really detailed railroad ties.
Valkryir: slow is smooth smooth is fast
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: rocks or more soup?
RealGamerCow: cairn? is that a cairn?
Ned_Flandalorian: he's going to round a corner and you'll hear the "going to the store" music off in the distance
TehAmelie: come to think, maybe Nate just gets in his own way. like the whole deal with manual walking is like when you start thinking about how to walk and forget how to do it
BalthusHomewood: Can you kick the bottle into the cans?
kusinohki: meows
KeytarCat: mrow
artdecosunburn: @TehAmelie I do like that. Overthinking and underthinking.
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: This is the cutscene location from earlier
IanAllenBird: oh you made it back to the first checkpoint
ContingentCat: we did fall downhill quite a ways
BalthusHomewood: sassy step back there
HadesLeprechaun: yeah you're at that first candle with soup
ContingentCat: or maybe not
kusinohki: been lurking for a while, missed the beginning. is this game just "someone took 'walking sim' too literally"??
itsaysTRUENO: "Dear Esther, can you heat up a hot pocket for me?"
tdapenguin: the very impressive thing about nate is how quickly he gets up each time
BalthusHomewood: he's certainly had experience trodding the boards at this point
artdecosunburn: @kusinohki More like hobbling sim.
ContingentCat: @kusinohki this is when you sink so fall into your depression couch you get isakaied

KeytarCat: That's immersion!
e_bloc: you know what, Nate is doing alright
DeM0nFiRe: lol that one sounded painfukl
rentar42: he smartly broke the fall with his face ...
ContingentCat: we didn't have anything left there anyway
itsaysTRUENO: This creature would not survive in the wild
Nigouki: the way the arm twisted from under your body, it's like a spirit of a cop yanked it to cuff you
itsaysTRUENO: He is weak and the winter will take him
DeM0nFiRe: Technically he did find water that one time lol
artdecosunburn: New category of classification. "Animal," Vegetable," "Mineral," "NEET Depression Induced Hallucination Accompanied by Groans."
Astramentha: He cant even POOP
e_bloc: however he appears to be unbreakable
RealGamerCow: Cameron is reacting viscerally because of his many self-inflicted accidental injuries
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: ALso, he needs to pee
Ned_Flandalorian: he has adopted camouflage though
SquareDotCube: rolling down the mountain, maybe
HadesLeprechaun: nuh-uh, he definitely said the pee went away
Mathwyn: @ned_flandalorian Invisible to the predator at least
artdecosunburn: Tycho Brahe died from holding it in at a dinner party.
BalthusHomewood: let fly, Nate, we won't judge. (untrue, we will judge the Piss Man)
BalthusHomewood: Not exactly a molehill
itsaysTRUENO: now that's good
KeytarCat: Your problems aren't as big as they seem, but they are big
vinewood_og: This is how I find out!?
EvilBadman: What a loss
RealGamerCow: ning
SquareDotCube: then again Tycho Brahe also stared at the sun until he went blind
SymphonySolstice:

DeM0nFiRe:

GhostValv: oh no

IanAllenBird: oh.

Marvoleath: perfect landing, 10/10
IanAllenBird: well,
IanAllenBird: the cup is haunting you
artdecosunburn: As far as I know he's the only early modern astronomer I know who perished from a royal banquet/ bladder holding issue.
ChroniclerC:
More of a walking simulator than usual today, I see. 
artdecosunburn: @tdapenguin Only the good die young in starwatching.
tdapenguin: @artdecosunburn how much work is "early modern" doing in that sentance?
KeytarCat: Nate must be so confused that he's suddenly relearning how to fall
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Hey look kids, Big Ben! Parliament!"
glitched_goddess: then you feel embarrassed when it doesnβt hurt at all
Mathwyn: Nates only do this when they are distressed
BalthusHomewood: mans flexibel for being so out of shape
TehAmelie: i remember Crisyppus, the first known man who laughed himself to death. (at his own joke too.) at least Nate isn't in danger of that
artdecosunburn: @tdapenguin It's a calculation. "Offend my patron by leaving the table early, or collapse from the pressure on my bladder?" Standard scientific funding conundrum.
DeM0nFiRe: Gently rub your face against the rock
TehAmelie: become one with the rock
IanAllenBird: ayy
glitched_goddess: hump the rock to establish dominance
Marvoleath: Nate suddenly walking to the store
IanAllenBird: f
TehAmelie: "ow" he says, kicking himself in the head
IanAllenBird: just like the iss
TheDevil_Risen: oww the splits
artdecosunburn: "Fall Forward -- Endlessly." -- Dystopian slogan for Daylight Saving time switch
BalthusHomewood: Yet he isn't injured... no bruises or broken bones... he's like if wolverine was an undeveloped manchild
Bionull: You just need to do it like Hitchhiker's Guide and miss the ground when you fall
BalthusHomewood: twerk it
KeytarCat: Twerk it like a third job
e_bloc: work with me nate
Valkryir: When you next stand up irl you will be manually walking
rustywir3s: twerk with me nate
artdecosunburn: @BalthusHomewood Imagine Professor X assigning dirty onesies as squad uniforms.
KeytarCat: Listening to Japanese Fusion in the background is a lot
TehAmelie: if they had these indestructible onesies they'd use them
IanAllenBird: so true nate
SnackPak_:

SymphonySolstice: oh I saw that butt implode
ContingentCat: DAMN
artdecosunburn: @TehAmelie Ha!
Valkryir: yesss abuse the standing up mechanic
thatguysteve2709: Nate my 5 year old has a greater concept of mantling. Please buddy just work with us
glitched_goddess: itβs like eating beans when you have gastroparises
thatguysteve2709: Yes
thatguysteve2709: Are nates broken?
e_bloc: yeah, 5 year olds use their arms in all sorts of ways, some helpful
TehAmelie: he's broken alright. in some ways.
artdecosunburn: @KeytarCat Somehow I feel like Shoen Knife's "On Top of the World" would fit Nate's predicament.
SymphonySolstice: the double concussion
TehAmelie: like being too depressed to use his arms except by reflex
IanAllenBird: how many skull bones do you think nate has now
e_bloc: my head canon for this is Nate is actually Kal-El learning to use his powers, starting at a very basic level
CaptainSpam: Head completely cracked wide open by now.
niccus: nate should have mooncat's moveset
IanAllenBird: 3d mooncat...
Mathwyn: Variety is the spice of failure!
ghostchild99: dark soul 4 and a half
e_bloc: failure is fine as long as you don't fail the same way twice
artdecosunburn: That's totally some Fosse style sidestepping.
mizzytastic: just got here, we appear to be playing qwop on the island from dear esther
IanAllenBird: correct
ghostchild99: the one game that marching band practice is good for
ContingentCat: @mizzytastic pretty much
artdecosunburn: Nate learned to walk by watching Ben Vereen in a bootleg copy of "Pippin."
Marvoleath: with occasional awkward dialog
TehAmelie: it's the walking simulator's final form

SymphonySolstice: walk towards sauron
thatguysteve2709: Wow what an accurate description of what we are seeing
SymphonySolstice: I wanna know why the onesie is so slippery
Marvoleath: @SymphonySolstice it's more mud than material at this point
ContingentCat: @SymphonySolstice well having slid down a lot of mud hills now, it gets bad
TehAmelie: how is the calves the least dirty part of the onesie?
SymphonySolstice: glides over grass like oil
KeytarCat: I don't
artdecosunburn: @SymphonySolstice Is that a safe question to ask of any onesie?
IanAllenBird: you haven't gotten there yet
SymphonySolstice: full I presume
thatguysteve2709: If Nate doesn't walk home and just without taking the onesie off just get in the shower I would be upset
BrowneePointz: I definitely saw nsfw stuff in trailers
TehAmelie: chat said you'd know the censoring when you see it
HadesLeprechaun: oh, it's extremely, hilariously obvious
niccus: you will know.
RedAlexxis: I guess, like the classic cartoon nudity, where the flap at the back of a onsie unbuttons?
BrowneePointz: the Censoring in Dispatch is ALSO very funnie
SnackPak_:

ContingentCat: deeep in the creases
RedAlexxis: riiight in there
TehAmelie: eventually Nate will form a perfect sphere
artdecosunburn: I feel like I need to take a shower just from watching the overhead angle of Nate's onesie.
e_bloc: I think it's very much a "take off the onesie before entering the house and throw directly in garbage bin" situation
SymphonySolstice: man's gonna be blowing mud out of his nose for the next week
TehAmelie: !birb
LRRbot: CAW CAW!
Valkryir: the music tracks are so weird, I love them
artdecosunburn: @SymphonySolstice Like when Federer and Nadel were batting on clay in tennis. "I must become one with the clay."
IanAllenBird: lmao
vinewood_og: Sing songs that remind me of the cat scan...
CaptainSpam: So what exactly is our goal here?
Mangledpixel: I sing the song that reminds me of the song that reminds me of the whisky drink
niccus: pissing so many nights away
ContingentCat: I get knocked down, but I get up again, but then I fall again...
spethycakes: oh Neal boy, Neal boy, Neal boy
RedAlexxis: I take a whisk drink x 5 describes a Cam and Ian Christmas quite well
TehAmelie: oh Danny boy, you drink to much, Danny boy
Gekyouryuu: "I take a whiskey drink. it tastes like piss-key drink."
spethycakes: Nate, oop
rustywir3s: oh lawd he steppin
SnackPak_: nice folly
SymphonySolstice: SNAP
RedAlexxis: oh!
HadesLeprechaun: climb the mountain, discover self
IanAllenBird: oh felt that in the hammys
lamina5432: sounds like when Cam bangs his knee
ContingentCat: ouch
kusinohki: "I get knocked down/ but I stay there/ because I don't really like getting hurt/ I get knocked down..."
SymphonySolstice: it will be when we get there
rustywir3s: good splits
Ned_Flandalorian: we replaced this man's hamstrings with steel rods, let's see what happens
artdecosunburn: I once had a dream where I was thrust into a post-apocalyptic future, and that Chumbawanba song was the only surviving piece of human culture passed down by oral tradition.
WiJohn: mantle nate mantle!
FlushmasterCyclonis: Lust tuned in. Is this a literal walking simulator?
IanAllenBird: it looks slippy but flat
e_bloc: born slippy
FlushmasterCyclonis: *Just
ContingentCat:

SymphonySolstice: @FlushmasterCyclonis from the maker of QWOP, we now get to experience This!
IanAllenBird: I think you reload at them, so at least you could have closed the game and reopened there? could be wrong
Juliamon: FlushmasterCyclonis It's part literal walking sim, part incredibly awkward person sim
ContingentCat: he almost used his arms there
rustywir3s: soups on?
TehAmelie: hmm Lust of the deadly sins would have very little to work with here
vinewood_og: I don't think he's making it to that job interview
itsaysTRUENO: There is one they fear... Dovahkiin
RealGamerCow: Bowl of undefined liquid
IanAllenBird: what do you think is in the campfire pot
ContingentCat: and any chance of having children
IanAllenBird: I keep imagining candle wax
FlushmasterCyclonis: So is the premise that you're an alien brain worm trying to control a strange new body you found or ir it less creative?
rustywir3s: right on
Juliamon: It's not that deep
FlushmasterCyclonis: Damn
IanAllenBird: the premise is that nate is a disaster
FlushmasterCyclonis: Disappointment. I got mu hopes up a little for a second there
SymphonySolstice: you are a manchild trying to climb a mountain without using his hands
ContingentCat: @FlushmasterCyclonis is more like getting so depressed you get isikaied rather than get up
Juliamon: you're just a guy that disappeared from his basement apartment into this place
TehAmelie: wjho may have spent so long on the couch in his parent's basement he forgot how to walk
mizzytastic: I mean, I've had this body for over three decades and I still can't pilot it
FlushmasterCyclonis: Now that does sound kind of depressing
Juliamon: there are two things that are made apparent within the first minute: that Nate is a mess, and that he knows it
Juliamon: it's essentially Getting Over It, but instead of narrations you have extremely awkward conversations with other guys who happen to be here
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Have they gotten to any more cutscenes?
LurkerSpine: woo, done-ish work. How goes the stepping?
Marvoleath: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters they made it back to the camp, multiple times, not much further
taliesinskye: Ouch.
RedAlexxis: Oh my word, why Cam?
Cptasparagus: this is the room i'd expect of a one piece fan
Gekyouryuu: is Nate averse to adventure, where One Piece is all about adventure?
IanAllenBird: I think maybe just a stereotype about anime fans
spethycakes: Well, we know he's not a John Coltrane fan
vinewood_og: ASMYarrr
lamina5432: One piece has some distopian lore
Dread_Pirate_Westley: Chat does not, in fact, love this.
RealGamerCow: His journey never ends either?
CaptainSpam: Are you saying most people who watch One Piece wear onesies?
taliesinskye: That was genuinely beautiful as a joke, Cam. Well done.
TehAmelie: it could be called a romper or jumper just as well
Bionull: One Piece is driven by devil fruit and you make some devilish climbs for fruit
Riiiiiiis:
I truly find it fascinating what the streamers choose to apologize for and what not 
LurkerSpine: I thought a jumper was a sweater?
BrowneePointz: One Piece is paritally dystopian yes
BrowneePointz: romper is a jumpsuit
IanAllenBird: I think of jumpers as a sweater
Juliamon: Jumpers are just the top
spethycakes: Rompers are the whole thing
RealGamerCow: Who is piloting the idiot currently?
artdecosunburn: It's existential. Osh-kosh-begone.
RedAlexxis: I mean it is pirates right? They don't jsut pop out of the ground
spethycakes: jumpers depends on your region
lamina5432: there is a pirate crew that wheres rompers
BrowneePointz: yea jumper is a Pullover ye?
ContingentCat: British people do weird things with words
IanAllenBird: oh there's the beginning of the game down there
RedAlexxis: yeah, Jumpers is an Aus saying thing
Voidhawk42: UK here. A jumper is any warm overgarment that's not a coat.
rustywir3s: jumper/sweater/pullover are synonyms to me
Voidhawk42: A Cardigan is a type of jumper
ContingentCat: I feel like onsie is the right term for this
ContingentCat: especailly on him
TehAmelie: in Sweden we'd call it an overol. pronounced overall
spethycakes: I think the UK refers to the US/NA jumper as a "pinafore"
RedAlexxis: Carddigan is split at the front, jumpers are one piece .... OH!
SkylerRingtail: The squishing sound effects
RealGamerCow: They kind of look like long Johns too
lamina5432: I'm amazed he's not wearing a kigurumi
BrowneePointz: @spethycakes no goofy, that's a Gilbert and Sullivan!
Valkryir: you can find hats
spethycakes: @BrowneePointz HM(S), I don't know about that
wedge_x: game doesn't have a microtransaction store where you can buy different kurigami? zero stars.
HadesLeprechaun: there are headpieces, yeah
vinewood_og: Gritty suit dlc
DeM0nFiRe:

RealGamerCow: @vinewood_og I would pay 10 bucks for that
Valkryir: hats can also impart lore
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: hats and "hats"
e_bloc: green spandex full body suit, japanese maid outfit please
TehAmelie: it has to be said, Nate might be the least flattering design for a player character since Binding of Isaac
accountmadeforants: @e_bloc Horse armor DLC
rustywir3s: that is a nice boulder, i like that boulder
Valkryir: (much like dark souls)
BrowneePointz: good ol Purgatorio
e_bloc: @accountmadeforants I'm in
BrowneePointz: not a Paradiso fan?
e_bloc: perhaps Nate died from a milk overdose
BrowneePointz:

RealGamerCow: I thought that this was definitely a purgatory allegory
rustywir3s: lol, get wreckd paradiso
e_bloc: damn going in hard on dante
Voidhawk42: The one thing I don;t get about the concept of pugatory, is what makes it different from Regular Earth?
lamina5432: never read them but that ounds appropriately right
niccus: speaking of, IGN recently did a feature on the cancelled game
e_bloc: dead 800 years and catching strays
SymphonySolstice: maybe this is a metaphor for the sisyphean effot nate has to put in to climb up the basement stairs
HadesLeprechaun: the game does have soooome degree of 'choose your own difficulty' by which paths you choose to take, to a limit.
artdecosunburn: It's interesting how post-Dante depictions of Purgatory become less natural and more bureaucratic. Less endless plains, more office waiting room.
tenthtechpriest: relatable
ContingentCat: his parents talking to him about getting a job and he's this
IanAllenBird: possible
vinewood_og: "Intervention"
e_bloc: yeah that's a family meeting for sure
Bionull: But why can't he use hands in the meeting?
ContingentCat: From when I was in a similar situation, no it's miserable
bytecaster: Hands are hard okay
NarwhalsInATrenchcoat: don't throw hands in the family meeting
e_bloc: I'd rather do this than spend thanksgiving with my ex-in-laws. not even joking
KeytarCat: @artdecosunburn surely that's because bureaucrats can only go there or to hell
artdecosunburn: @KeytarCat Ha!
TehAmelie: my understanding of Sisyphus is he's choosing to do that, rather than telling the gods they win
HadesLeprechaun: he has to focus 100% of his mental energy on operating his legs, no brain left for arms
IanAllenBird: there is /something/ in here
IanAllenBird: there it is
SymphonySolstice: chimken :>
ContingentCat: another baby
KeytarCat: I think Nate is allowed to stim with his hands, but has to keep his legs still or his dad gets angry (def not a projection :eyes:)
TehAmelie: oh no, responsibilities!
ContingentCat: we made a friend!!!
Mangledpixel: nugget!
RealGamerCow: Nate is mommy
Kipstar: it's INSIDE now!
Juliamon: our new best friend, lil peep
IanAllenBird: maybe the mommy is in the pit
SymphonySolstice: that's the gaol
LordZarano: If we fall over backwards do we squish it?
e_bloc: you see, much like the small bird, we have fallen from the nest and now must learn to fly
wedge_x: ahh, metaphor pond
BrowneePointz: speaking of Mummy
IanAllenBird: it's normal in there
SnackPak_: we have a responsibility now, this is growth
IanAllenBird: : )
RealGamerCow: Tempting pit
Papperslappen: I like the pit
Valkryir: have a little nap in the pit
BrowneePointz: Speaking of Mummy, a 4th Mummy movie with Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz...can't believe that happening
IanAllenBird: (there's a cutscene in there)
ArdCollider: I think our second responsibility after "stop signing off with uwu" being "parenthood" is an expectation curve
HadesLeprechaun: there is a cutscene in the pit
e_bloc: a Kevin Bacon cameo would be jarring
lamina5432: no Nausicaa giant underground you fall into
ContingentCat: I'm kinda disapointed I still haven't needed to know how to deal with quicksand in my life, they made it seem so important
Gekyouryuu: y'all just reminded me I saw a "tiktok with vine energy" earlier of three guys punching the sand as the Dune music plays, and then it pans over to a fourth guy doing the worm
protojman: this IS ceti alpha fiveeeeee!
Anubis169: ContingentCat: having dealt with quicksand, you don't want to have to deal with it
ContingentCat: @Anubis169 fair enough
Anubis169:
yes 
rustywir3s: lmao yes
SnackPak_: the 80s? yes
bytecaster: Yes, Cam
Gekyouryuu: yes
GasCityGaming: haven't had to deal with it....yet
lamina5432: yes
spurius: I blame pitfall
Anubis169: i'm amazed it actually was useful
RealGamerCow: Yes. Quicksand and killer bees
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Yes, I grew up in the 80s/90s
e_bloc: yeah, that was the 90's
empyreon: quicksand and free drugs
RedAlexxis: yeah, cartoon logic
ContingentCat: yeah they made it seem like a daily isue
DeM0nFiRe: Quick sand and also the bermuda triangle were things I thought I would have to deal with at some pint
CaptainSpam: Back then, everyone thought quicksand was going to be the hot new trend.
glitched_goddess: βone more step, Me. Frodo, and itβs the furthest away from the Shire Iβve ever beenβ¦β
e_bloc: I'm 40, I was there
NeoGetz: Quicksand and being on fire
wedge_x:
@e_bloc and the 80's, and the 70's... 
RedAlexxis: I mean ... Bees a real and they do kill
IanAllenBird: nooo
GasCityGaming: I like how with satellites the berumda triangle kind of just went away
Anubis169: there's enough mud here for that name to be workable
RedAlexxis: like that kid in the movie with the glasses
Valkryir: there was a lot of PSAs at school on how to deal with UXOs (un exploded ordinance) I was lead to believe it was a more common occurrence than it actually is
bytecaster: @GasCityGaming It's because triangles are not real
Omnipotrevor: At least we didn't have to grow up learning to duck and cover
KeytarCat: My brother lost a pair of shoes to quicksand that was only like 6in deep. Was stuck for like an hour, and we watched the adults use the strategies they taught us for quicksand
Gekyouryuu: oh, wild thing I learned the other day: Falcor is played by Porkins from Star Wars
BrowneePointz: woah woah woah, wait. The new Mummy movie not only has Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz back, but is being Directed by the new Scream guys and written by the Prey guy!? Holy shit it might actually slap
Anubis169: Batman (1989)
KeytarCat: Also, one of the scout leaders did actually get lit on fire, whole-body, as a kid
ArdCollider: "--his name is PORKINS?!?! that's just cruel!" --someone talking to their partner in the aisle at SDCC, 2008ish
uneactrice: I think my favorite description of Heaven in text is by George Bernard Shaw. In the play Man and Superman one of the characters goes to heaven and says "Heaven is the most angelically dull place."
ContingentCat: I wish we could put the baby on our shoulder but it wouldn't be safe
KeytarCat: So I have actually encountered use cases for niche survival training
Anubis169:
oh jeez... 1989 was 36 years ago 
NarwhalsInATrenchcoat: as someone who didn't grow up being told how to deal with quicksand, what do you do?
e_bloc: they'll never have a better movie soundtrack for batman than Batman (1989)
Voidhawk42: Can you go UNDER?
rustywir3s: but the baby!
Anubis169: like a boss
Gekyouryuu: oh, correction: Porkins was only Falkor in the THIRD movie
ContingentCat: did it!
BrowneePointz: Danny Elfman cooked harder than he ever has with that Score e_bloc
wedge_x: just like Remo Williams
Anubis169: there was no 3rd Neverending Story
BrowneePointz: oh the one with Jack Black as an evil teenage punker
realbadatthis_: Oh the third movie, with Jack Black?
ContingentCat: yay baby Artax is still with us
e_bloc: @BrowneePointz and on top of that there's a whole album by prince
Omnipotrevor: Was that the one that had Jack Black as a bully?
BrowneePointz: unfortunately there were TWO sequels
TehAmelie: @uneactrice i may prefer Alan Moore's take that makes a clear distinction between Heaven and Disneyland
uneactrice: @TehAmelie Also a good one!
BrowneePointz: it's very good
Gekyouryuu: but yeah, Porkins was also in Batman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman 4, and Flash Gordon
BrowneePointz: Highly Recommend that Cover Cori
BrowneePointz: it's a good wall of sound cover
LordZarano: Really just stiled on that obsticle
CaptainSpam: Oh, man, Robert Z'Dar.
empyreon: His JAW
IanAllenBird: I only know him as a line in a neil cicierega song
CaptainSpam: The man's quite well-known in B-movie circles. He had a jaw that puts Leno's to SHAME.
Voidhawk42: Thanks to Bojack, I can't hear "Character Actor" without immediately thinking Margot Martindale
SnackPak_: oh, that gut
SnackPak_: guy*
BrowneePointz: ah Cherubism
empyreon:
He was in Samurai Cop 
BrowneePointz: he was born with Cherubism
Anubis169: If you've ever seen Samurai Cop, he's the main bad guy
realbadatthis_: Was he the tango and cash "you broke THAT jaw?" guy?
e_bloc: hes got some steven seagal in him (not the crazy part)
CaptainSpam: Huh, real name Robert James Zdarsky.
IanAllenBird: owww
SnackPak_: o7
CaptainSpam: I did not know that.
TheDevil_Risen: o7
BrowneePointz: oh my groin recoiled from that
IanAllenBird: artax is fine though
Anubis169: realbadatthis_: Yes he was
TehAmelie: the 360Β° split
IanAllenBird: baby is incompressible
Lord_Hosk: Why not just go OVER gap instead of fall into hole?
Nigouki: we totally gonna CSM that chicken
bytecaster: By the power of Skyrim horse, I have the power!
RealGamerCow: I think you just have to send 'er over that gap
realbadatthis_: @Anubis169 Thank you
IanAllenBird: bad start
ContingentCat: I was considering listening to the Magnus Archives again
ContingentCat: oh yeaaaah the caving episode was good
AnyaSilverfur: SUCH a good episode of Magnus Archieves
Cptasparagus: free rock sniffs
KeytarCat: Gaining lacerations
Anubis169: Congratulations Cori, you got road rash without a road
ChroniclerC: The high ground. Possibly moral.
ContingentCat: you're going forward that's all that matters
artdecosunburn: Have you ever listened to old time radio horror? A lot now on the web. "Three Skeleton Key" with Vincent Price.
bytecaster: We are getting to know the rock on a spiritual level
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Did you just step on the baby chicken?
BrowneePointz: Speaking of recent horror stuff, recently been perusing a Folk Horror D&D supplement(yes the Legends of Avantris one for chat) and it's ignited my desire to GM again
RealGamerCow: So squelchy
Anubis169: Does anyone else hear that?
vinewood_og:

IanAllenBird: all I can hear is a leafblower outside
Lord_Hosk: What is all along the watch tower?
TehAmelie: the chicken is very good at not getting stepped on even though it constantly looks like it's trying to
IanAllenBird: maybe the cup is more of a new game plus goal
kusinohki: what if the chicken is named cup??
BrowneePointz: @Lord_Hosk a Bob Dylan song
Anubis169: think i mentioned it last stream, but invulnerability seems like a really bad superpower if you have the coordination of a wet spaghetti strand
Nigouki: Anubis169 but then you can recreate in-game ragdolling comedy but IRL
Anubis169: you luck sack!
vinewood_og: @lord_hosk I don't know, but it's coming from the frakin' ship!

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!)
Anubis169:

IanAllenBird: oh
SymphonySolstice: nuts: gone
lamina5432: heading out gnight
IanAllenBird: the future is scary the steps are managable
Anubis169: night lamina5432!
TehAmelie: this game is teaching me to be grateful how easy it is to turn when you're walking
Anubis169: is chickie friend here for a quest or just a tag-along?
IanAllenBird: no idea
Juliamon: Unknown
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Chicken just started following
Anubis169:

HadesLeprechaun: I like how this game teaches you see a perfectly ordinary set of steps and go 'ffuuuuu-"
Nigouki: i wonder if there's a soundeffect for teeth hitting metal in this game
Marvoleath: bold of you to assume there was an architect
ChroniclerC: How, praytell, are we to interact with the cup if we found it?
IanAllenBird: some sort of Thing
rustywir3s: where did baby go?
Omnipotrevor: maybe that's the titular baby
HadesLeprechaun: it is a doll with a crown on it that you really want
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Now to get down
e_bloc: this game needs collectables. it would be so sadistic
TehAmelie: don't you wanna take a shortcut down? :3
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @e_bloc It has them
HadesLeprechaun: @e_bloc it has a bunch
SnackPak_: phew
e_bloc: @HadesLeprechaun oh I did not realize that. that's so good
rustywir3s: baby jump!
HadesLeprechaun: onto the next giant candle!
accountmadeforants: The occasional "ohno" has gotta be one of my favourite sounds
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I hope so
TehAmelie: that branch is gonna end up inside us
HadesLeprechaun: @e_bloc that baby they saw through the telescope has a crown on it that you can grab and wear at...great risk
Anubis169: not that kind of sticking
Anubis169: hahahahaha
vinewood_og: Gonna tell my kids this was The Last of Us
SnackPak_:

IanAllenBird: goal
SymphonySolstice: the very quiet "crap" is my fave
Anubis169: Ladies & Gents, marvel at the view
RealGamerCow: Ugh mayflies
TehAmelie: i like the very tiny "ow"
ChroniclerC: The okay outdoors.
Voidhawk42: The great outdoors: aka, why we invented Indoors
realbadatthis_: A nate's romance
atallertallhobbit: "over on your right, you'll see a cliff you could fall down if you wanted to, and just up ahead, some definitely not cursed old ruins!"
ChroniclerC: That seems like a fun hole to fall in.
Anubis169: Cam, that stairway looks like it belongs in The Ninth Gate
TehAmelie: what's the tower from Annihilation doing up here?
TheDevil_Risen: hahaha
rustywir3s: oh sick
Anubis169:
Bunny! 
rustywir3s: killer bees?!
Anubis169: that's big for a bunny
IanAllenBird: goodbye big bunny
Marvoleath: it could be the beast of Caernabough
rustywir3s: if it had been a white rabbit...
ChroniclerC: Not even counting the falling, this seems like the most painful way to walk. Like, imagine the muscle fatigue.
Marvoleath: *Caerbannog
ChroniclerC: xD
Anubis169: you just made all of chat shift in their chairs a little
ContingentCat: yeah walking like that is rough on the knees
wedge_x: nate never skips dumper day
Voidhawk42: Nate is an experiment in seeing if you maximise mental anguish, will it block out physical pain
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I see cans
Anubis169: my those flowers look inviting
Anubis169: WHEEEEEEE
IanAllenBird: powerful bird
Anubis169: good chickie!
ContingentCat: Artax is much more capible than us
Voidhawk42: A baby bird is infinitely more capable than us
KeytarCat: Artax is better at thi- :eyy
tenthtechpriest: I don't care if we fall to our death as long as Artax is safe
BrowneePointz: like I said, I'm still fascinated by his anatomy. why and how did he get that dumper with like...no hips/lower back/upper butt/thighs. This man gained weight in ONLY his cheeks
KeytarCat:

bytecaster: @Voidhawk42 I bet Nate's parents tell him that all the time
ContingentCat: that's why they're called grippies
BrowneePointz: (and the out of game answer is cuz it's funnier that way)
accountmadeforants: Nate never actually sits in a chair, he just hovers over them very slightly and thinks that's normal
TehAmelie: i've been trying to come up with a dummy thicc joke all night but it's so hard to picture Nate trying to do something, or his asscheeks clapping
IanAllenBird: maybe artax will teach us how to jump
IanAllenBird: oh a cairn
rustywir3s: trying to walk, but the clapping of his asscheeks distracts himself?
bytecaster: We are great at going down!
IanAllenBird: hehehe
Anubis169:

ContingentCat:
of course 
accountmadeforants:

Kentosaurus: whole new levels of awkardness
TheDevil_Risen: what the
Anubis169: there's more line noise on that recording than there is voice
Blip2004: where did that guy come from
rustywir3s: well that just happened
Voidhawk42: *You levelled up in Cringe!*
HadesLeprechaun: I like that the cutscene started instantaneously when you made contact
ContingentCat: oh god
RedAlexxis: So that was a deliberate choice that sound recording quality, right?
TehAmelie: would it be the same scene if you fully fell over on it?
TheDevil_Risen: hahahaha
TheDevil_Risen: ouch Cam
bytecaster: Nate is all about quitting
TheDevil_Risen: #tooreal
vinewood_og: Men in Black: Eggar Suit Tutorial
Juliamon: RedAlexxis I'd presume so, it adds to the unreality of the place
rustywir3s: nate how
Marvoleath: you cant quit if you never start
rustywir3s: nate why
IanAllenBird: cool tree
Anubis169: well at least Chickie's immortal like us
Voidhawk42: Ok, that reduced my anxiety. I was worried if you stepped wrong, the bird would just instantly die
TheDevil_Risen: never gonna lift you up (his feet) never going to let you down (him stacking it)
UltraVioletVodoo: this man has the best worst balance ive ever seen
TheDevil_Risen: *rickroll*
vinewood_og: Shiiit
IanAllenBird: maybe he's part of the firewatch
TheDevil_Risen: might be a park ranger
DrLigmaPhD: It was his father's. He died on this mountain
bytecaster: I have kinda been sold on it, ngl
Anubis169: it's forgiving for a Bennett Foddy game
RealGamerCow: Nate seems to be drying off and cleaning up
Anubis169: given QWOP, GIRP and Getting Over It
fonkoncle: maaan remember bennett foddy used to be in Cut Copy
bytecaster: Baby Steps: QWOP but not hell
TehAmelie: we'll see what funds i have after Desert Bus
Voidhawk42: QWOP requires you to reprogram your brain.
Anubis169: Getting Over It is etched into my psyche as the standard for "beat your face into it until you succeed"
Voidhawk42: If you can walk IRL afterwards, you weren;t playing QWOP right
accountmadeforants: I bought this game right after Rock Paper Shotgun dropped "Baby Steps isn't 'Twitch slop', you have simply let your sense of wonder atrophy"
bytecaster: I really just suddenly want a boss bar to appear, and it's for a particularly steep step
HadesLeprechaun: you can sorta choose easier or harder paths, with funny scenes often if you do random little side challenges
LordZarano: Once you get the hang of the rhythm running in QWOP is pretty fun
GoryHamJar: Kick kick kick
TheDevil_Risen: pizza and wine, nice
rustywir3s: van pizza!
GoryHamJar: Smash those bottles!
IanAllenBird: seems like it
TehAmelie: you gotta have cognac with pizza, if i've learned anything from The Room
SnackPak_: that would be so rude
ContingentCat: Seems darker than before
Anubis169: if there is a day/night cycle, you've been holding your bladder a hell of a long time :S
Voidhawk42: Time to find a hole to crawl into for the night
ContingentCat:

rustywir3s: hell yeah
IanAllenBird: massive gamer
TheDevil_Risen: walking out of her mind
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @Voidhawk42 The hole is at the bottom of the mountain.
HadesLeprechaun: I don't think a day night cycle as much as it gets darker as you get closer to the campsites, so it's always night when you reach them
rustywir3s: would you believe your eyes?
bytecaster: I don't know
Bionull: An owl cafe?
IanAllenBird: oh,
ContingentCat: wow
SnackPak_: huh
TheDevil_Risen: cuteeee
IanAllenBird: that's an interaction you can have for sure
ThirdFloorDraft: business cards
IanAllenBird: maybe her phone number is OWL-CITY
Anubis169: also thank you for being someone that also uses the term 'delta' in normal conversation
TheDevil_Risen: i sware if that happened to me i would have to check if i hadn't been isekai'd
LoadingReadyRun: !cardview off
LRRbot: Card viewer disabled
Voidhawk42: @Anubis169 There are dozens of us!
GoryHamJar: Snake Eater!
TheDevil_Risen:
hey paul and/or graham 
TehAmelie: we'll be the first to scale a mountain using only our head
Anubis169: I'm stiiiiiiiiiill in a dreeeaaaam..snaaake piiiiizzaaaaaa~~
TehAmelie: are these rocks unusually slippy?
vinewood_og: Shredderrrr... build me a body. No, a better body.
Anubis169:

TheDevil_Risen: OHHH WOW
RealGamerCow: Gamer
TheDevil_Risen: nice
ChroniclerC: Very nice.
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: That is a thing
GoryHamJar: Cameron making it look easy
TehAmelie: maybe this chicken didn't pick the worst possible mommy!
IanAllenBird: nate please
ContingentCat: @GoryHamJar Cori's piloting
TheDevil_Risen: that fuck
TheDevil_Risen: loll
Voidhawk42: Any time we don't fall on the bird is an ok result
Anubis169: smoooooooth
rustywir3s: the stepperrrrrr
ThirdFloorDraft: this is the most dexterous man
ContingentCat: Our onsie seems to be drying out
Anubis169: why do i get the feeling we're ascending the steps of Gondor?
rustywir3s: good sou[
rustywir3s: soup
tyrsredritehand: Everyone into the sacrifice circle!
ContingentCat: soup is good food
RatherLargeToad: Shire! Nate!
IanAllenBird: oh water damage
Nigouki: piss in the soup
HadesLeprechaun: you have to see the cutscene
Valkryir: see the next cutscene
rustywir3s: you... did it?
GoryHamJar: New titles dropped. Cameron - Onward. Cori - Upward.
vinewood_og: Paarthurnax: "Yo, what the fuck?"
SkylerRingtail: The butt impression in the sofa
ThirdFloorDraft: he seems unwell
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Please go to the next cutscene
ContingentCat: @SkylerRingtail yeah there's a lot of tragic details in that room
IanAllenBird: there it is
rustywir3s: um
BusTed: haha
vinewood_og: Logging in to Bluesky
rustywir3s: looks more like a top than a bottom
EvilBadman: Ah, what Polygon coined "The Donkey Dong Bonanza"
ContingentCat: oh man he must be ripe
tyrsredritehand: Wish you up some pants
vinewood_og: *anything*
SnackPak_: the dream
ArdCollider: uwu!
TheDevil_Risen: UwU
accountmadeforants: This game is a masterpiece
IanAllenBird: uwu!
SkylerRingtail: DID YOU JUST uwu
Astramentha: uwu
rustywir3s: uwu
vinewood_og: No notes

Anubis169:

DeM0nFiRe: uwu
lightfut: Uwu indeed
tenthtechpriest: EYE CREAM
HadesLeprechaun: uwu!
RedAlexxis: oh no
Nigouki: that's what happens when you have like 4 "once in a lifetime events" in like 20 years
ArdCollider: I am so going back to BALL X PIT where no one makes me tend a baby chicken
vinewood_og: Rat Shaker: Origins
RedAlexxis: Failson becomes programmer grl?
TheDevil_Risen: are we revisiting this?
ContingentCat: By comparison, yeah definitly happy that's not me
Valkryir: will we be seeing more on stream?
TehAmelie: i need to take a walk
RealGamerCow: "You know what, maybe I do have it together."
AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Aren't you glad you saw that final cutscene?
tyrsredritehand: Tonight on Let's NOPE
fonkoncle: have cameron and coriander played THE LOOKER which is a parody of The Witness
ContingentCat: gesundheit
IanAllenBird: gesundheit
IanAllenBird: lmao
accountmadeforants:
The Looker is like The Witness, but good 
rustywir3s: hay deez nuts
Azralorne: Nice
DoodlestheGreat: It's one of those games that you have to play it to truly understand it.
Anubis169:
I got my 3rd boss cell in Dead Cells recently 
fonkoncle: The looker is free on steam, it's a brilliant game that would shine on here, dev did a great gdc talk about it the other year
RatherLargeToad: Theres an entire mechanic in Hades 2 to help prevent first escapes
ArdCollider: I got a few unlocks in Ball X Pit last night. it's nicely-tuned but slightly buggy.
DoodlestheGreat: @accountmadeforants I remember a Michael Crichton movie called "The Looker."
ArdCollider: (bxp got a patch today I just haven't gotten to it)
ContingentCat: !venga
LRRbot: This is not a Venga Bus of honor. No interstate free disco is commemmorated here. No traffic lights are burning here. The danger is to the body, if you like to party.
TehAmelie: this has been great!
Anubis169: !youtube
RedAlexxis: that's a good recomendation
TheDevil_Risen: thanks for the stream Cam and Cori!

Juliamon: DoodlestheGreat Presumably this is the episode that reminds viewers of Desert Bus
GoryHamJar: Guessing the Cameron story is always my favourite part of CP
ContingentCat: ooooo the Cam stories are always good ones
vinewood_og: Checkpoint doing better journalism than MSM
EvilBadman: Hey waitaminute that only goes the wednesday night, what could possibly be happening after
tyrsredritehand: Ah the ongoing EA dumpsterfire
