You all are going to miss the nuclear explosion of the Fallout 4 Anniversary edition release failing to be Jesus walking on water and thus the fanbase imploding. 
RockPusher: I'm sure EA will be true to their word until the management structure is finally in place in like 2-3 years
TXC2: money and Propaganda is the real answer
RockPusher:

TXC2: !addquote (Heather) [now] I think those were lies that I just said.

RockPusher:

vinewood_og: @rubikdarkwill Excellent!
Juliamon: A commitment to status quo
vinewood_og: As mid as it ever was
TheMerricat: The problem is, all those companies EA bought up and 'crushed' - are going with EA.
RockPusher:

Laserbeaks_Fury: Maybe they want more e-sports titles
TheMerricat: Does Google still have "Do no evil" anywhere in their materials?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Acting with Integrity (structural)
TXC2: like the "sports washing" I think the "image" matters more to the Saudis
vinewood_og: It's a threat
RatherLargeToad: No, do evil!

chaz_existing: nice journals!
RockPusher: Heather is *very* good at video games
BusTed: nifty
TXC2: that's really well drawn
TheAinMAP:

RockPusher: I would love to see Heather's Blue Prince journal
Laserbeaks_Fury: yeah i had so much junk from Blue Prince
tinykad: Hi
mtvcdm: Hi
RockPusher:
I bought an exercise book after filling a half-dozen leaves of A4 printer paper on Blue Prince 
TXC2: hello tinykad and mtvcdm welcome
mtvcdm: Yep, yep I believe every single word of what Heather's saying right now
mtvcdm: None of this surprises me
TheMerricat: OMG.
TheMerricat:
I have spent the majority of my adult life attempting ot move everything I do to digital, and Heather is single handidly making me want to go analog only. 
mtvcdm: At this point Heather could tell me she's sent her BuJo to be professionally edited and I'd just be like, yep, she sure did

I, for one, am happy for the Patreon money to buy any stationery Heather wants 
mtvcdm: !patreon
RockPusher: Physical kanban > digital kanban
Juliamon: The autistic part of my brain adores journaling and organization and spreadsheets. The tired part of my brain stops it about 80% of the time, but usually not before I've bought the supplies.
TXC2: it makes it more real in your mind
mtvcdm: You too can keep Heather in the bespoke stationery
TXC2: it's become tangible, literally
JessieImproved: Shoutout to sticky notes on the computer monitor
RockPusher:
Show magnets would make for some good merch 
chaz_existing: GMM just came out…
chaz_existing: without a logo
Juliamon: GMM didn't even have a *name*
TXC2: like we workshoped the name DURING the first episode
Juliamon: The intent was good. The execution was not.
RatherLargeToad: Like Dark Souls bosses reacting to you trying to heal, supposedly
mtvcdm: Mortal Kombat felt like it cheated on me on the fights where it *wasn't* cheating, on the console version. I couldn't even get past the first fight on easy and eventually concluded, I can't actually play this game.
RealGamerCow: My uncle got kicked out of an arcade because he got too good at Galaga. Could get over an hour on one quarter
TXC2: arcades needed player turnover in order to make money to even stay open
DoodlestheGreat: I think the best solution for the "Able to play well on one coin" issue was to have the game come to a conclusion.
squ1shy05: !chairs
squ1shy05: wat kinda chair is that
Juliamon: I don't think anyone's ever asked about the chairs lol

RatherLargeToad: Retroid Sub-Prime

Akaiatana: @LordZarano It only plays WH 40k games
Bruceski: @LordZarano Before the Checkpoint video I got an ad for one of the ones in the picture during the video.
Invitare: me and my brother got an import US Pokemon Gold before it was released in the UK
TXC2: isn't this what killed metaverse?
Akaiatana: !card Mind's eye
LRRbot: Mind's Eye [5] | Artifact | Whenever an opponent draws a card, you may pay {1}. If you do, draw a card.
LordZarano: They thought Rockstar was doing propaganda against them because they thought Rockstar was scared of MindsEye cutting into sales for GTA6
pctjoe: also people slept on mafia 3 it is so go
RatherLargeToad: It will now be releasing after GTA 7
Invitare: that's Christmas season too
mtvcdm: At this point just release your game and hope GTA doesn't finally actually release the same time you do
kingandcommoner: Some good ole fashioned Union busting
mtvcdm: But they didn't get rid of their money

vinewood_og: Doesn't RDR2 have literal Pinkertons?
DNAli3n: if you do ANY form of union busting, i will NOT support you Rockstar
kingandcommoner: Sue has tenure
LordZarano: @vinewood_og Yup, I believe the Pinkertons tried to sue for depicting them as bad guys and it got dismissed as historically accurate
Juliamon: 50+
mtvcdm: Atari-level Pac Man, oh dear
mtvcdm: Atari Pac-Man was a crime
Laserbeaks_Fury: We didnt have Pac-Man, we got Lock 'n' Chase
Laserbeaks_Fury: Dig Dug, the game where you inflate aliens until the explode
RockPusher: How many joysticks did you break, Beej?
mtvcdm: That link I posted is a gif of 2600 Pac Man
SquareDotCube: it's very unreactive
Laserbeaks_Fury: Puck-Man
CaptainSpam:
It's very well-documented why 2600 Pac-Man was awful. 
CaptainSpam: (the answer: Atari/Time-Warner management)
SquareDotCube: compared to the week of programming that was ET
RockPusher: A garage‽ How decadent!
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh yeah, I love those end-of-cycle games that can make consoles sing
Laserbeaks_Fury: My mom only er played Bugertime
CaptainSpam: I think it boils down to "programmer submitted a proof-of-concept, management approved it for sale immediately due to how Pac-Man was printing money, programmer was very shocked and confused".
chaz_existing: My mother also liked Dr. Mario.
SquareDotCube: anyways Yar's Revenge still one of the most impressive 2600 games
Juliamon: yupp
Invitare: another mum that was a Tetris player
Juliamon: moms love puzzle games
Invitare: kept our old transparent Gameboy Colour long after we'd both moved onto GBA
DNAli3n: i'm kinda sad that light-gun games no longer is a thing
ContingentCat: the years of organizing kitchens
Juliamon: my mom also got really into Hatris

theambivalentagender: My boomer dad was way into video games from the start but he was definitely an outlier
mtvcdm: My dad was more about Duck Hunt
Steelwolf171: My Mom's favourite was Omega Race for the Vic 20
SquareDotCube: Victorian-era science garbage
BusTed: Turns into a Tetris 99 fiend
SquareDotCube: so Tetris 99
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yup, My dad got the Intellevision to play Video Poker, and thats how I got hooked.
Juliamon: my mom destroyed her thumbs with her Game Boy, so she can't play anymore
JessieImproved: My Dad was way way into flight simulators. He doesn't play games anymore unfortunately
ContingentCat: omg shoes
chaz_existing: My dad likes fishing games but I don't think that's very surprising for most fathers.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Lrrfers
TXC2: right chat I'm off
BusTed:

KeytarCat: springform shoelaces!
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather, Beej and Paul
Juliamon: my dad bought the NES but I don't think it was ever because he wanted it, pretty sure he intended it primarily for me based on the percentage of kiddie games
RockPusher: 'night TXC2

Laserbeaks_Fury: Slap in a Rumble Pak

MTigress: desert bus loafers
RockPusher: LoadingReadyCrocs
ButButTheJesus: yeah I was surprised at 5% attachment
ButButTheJesus: but I do enjoy remote-playing in a window while I watch twitch sometimes so I see the appeal
DNAli3n:
@TheMerricat thanks, i'm looking at a sinden lightgun now, didn't even know it existed 
ButButTheJesus: You can stream any PS1 through PS5 games that are on the store, I believe
ButButTheJesus: on the PSN store
LordZarano: So it's like an Nvidia Shield?
MTigress: gotta use it on bus wifi
kingandcommoner: I just wish it looked better than somebody taking a table-saw to a dualshock and superglueing it to a tablet
ButButTheJesus: $200 at launch...
ButButTheJesus: looks like still $200 yeah
RatherLargeToad: that gap between the controllers and the screen is just asking for trouble
kingandcommoner: There are ice packs in there. It's fine
RatherLargeToad: Battle bots?
LordZarano: LRR played an N64 in a mall right?
Juliamon: yup
ButButTheJesus: correction to myself earlier - looks like you can only stream PS1 through PS5 games if the game is on PSPlus I think
Izandai: They want to be able to bully people worse than them, we get it.
Laserbeaks_Fury: the answer is two lobbies
Laserbeaks_Fury: but some games dont have the population to support two
ButButTheJesus: you want everyone ELSE to have a harder time
Izandai: Does two lobbies actually solve this? All the same dynamics are still at play.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I mean, you can't really solve smurfing no matter what you do

j_crane330:

ButButTheJesus: that's the appeal of Hunt: Showdown (and extr shooters and Arc Raiders when I get aroudn to it), I can scrounge and leave when I want, or choose to go for the big bounty if I want
ButButTheJesus:
in Hunt at least, there's a perk if you're not in a squad to revive yourself once per match. but players can camp you and kill you again as soo as you revive 
ButButTheJesus:
amnals? 
DoodlestheGreat: Gotta buy friends again...

Laserbeaks_Fury: Lore Accurate Dofmeat
Laserbeaks_Fury: *Dogmeat
kingandcommoner: They call them sidekicks, yet not a robin to be seen
Laserbeaks_Fury: Oh god, I know Transformers are in Fortnite. If I can buy Laserbeak as a pet....
kingandcommoner: That's even sillier than most cosmetic items
Invitare: can the dog speak?
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's literally Harvey
vinewood_og: HARVEY
chaz_existing: Jimmy Stewart is coming to Fortnite.
ContingentCat: yeah this idea started with "how can we sell more stuff to our base"
MTigress: i'll save money by drawing on a post-it and putting it on the bezel of my monitor instead
Laserbeaks_Fury: I'm like "why draw the line *here*?"
Laserbeaks_Fury: I dunno, they have Scooby-Doo
Laserbeaks_Fury: I have good news Heather
Invitare: actually it's quite easy to skin a huma-oh that's not what you meant
BusTed: whoa
Invitare: is that a roguelike? I think Adam played it
RatherLargeToad:

RatherLargeToad: Frog pet best pet
RatherLargeToad: Adam played it a bunch, I believe
Laserbeaks_Fury: Oh, so like the summons in SotN
Snorpenbass: I'm mentally picturing a new game genre called bardlike, which is almost exactly like a roguelike but you have to sing all the time.
ArcOfTheConclave: @Snorpenbass necrodancer?
Snorpenbass:
Someone hand a comfy neck pillow to the back row there. 
DoodlestheGreat: The calendar is hilarious.

RatherLargeToad: Just make up the news
DoodlestheGreat: Well, there's still The Game Advertisements, er, Awards.
chaz_existing: Video game news will be pausing because one game will not be pausing for a week.
v_nome: Just put "it's Sonic's 30th Anniversary" and "Norwegian Kronur" on loop and it will be like you're there
Laserbeaks_Fury:
if you are a Dark Souls fan, you should be used to things not pausing 
chaz_existing: goodbye

RatherLargeToad: I’ve heard you need to beat it 3 times to get the good ending
vinewood_og:

ContingentCat: they do that too
DoodlestheGreat: Always remember the addition of Ben & Adam extends the playtime by at least three times.
Snorpenbass: If you stand in a public bathroom, light a candle and turn out the lights, and say "Silent Hill f" three times to the mirror you look really silly.
ButButTheJesus: my first playthrough was 15 hours
ContingentCat: Yay root!
DoodlestheGreat: @Snorpenbass Ha, I can look silly in front of the mirror by myself.
