Nekuia: I thought my stream was broken when I had like 2-3 minutes of ads. I didn't realize I am on the opening title.

 vinewood_og: CampQuest after BoatQuest?

 TehAmelie: burning saves on CDs? that seems a bit wasteful
 tdapenguin: CD-RW+ ,presumably
 TehAmelie: no i saw a CD for each save
adept_nekomancer: If I recall, you picked the one she was less happy about (or at least triggered enough narrative flags to have the game lock you into that path).
 tdapenguin: Aw, drat!
 tdapenguin: Sounds like a great jam group
 poipal: I saw "ghost girlfriend" and hit that notification link so fast

Despoiler98:  IAN NO
adept_nekomancer: Lack of drainage could be an issue
vinewood_og: Any room can be a shower, if you've got the correct tarp budget.
Despoiler98: I feel like Ian did this on RoadQuest
Despoiler98: at a truckstop
Boopity:  Heather, you are currently _brainstorming_ this upcoming episode of TTSF
Despoiler98: HOLY SHIT I CAN DO THAT?
 KeytarCat: They do make camping showers that are just a big water bag with a hose.  hang it in a tree, turn on the hose!
vinewood_og: *Smokes a cigarette in the corner facing the wall*
Despoiler98: I'm peacing out of so many customer interactions
Boopity: @KeytarCat I guess doing it outside solves the drainage issue   Still no idea how to do it indoors though
Boopity: Ah yes, the hageight
  Juliamon: >Monoco has entered chat
vinewood_og: "Show feet!" "Which ones?"
 KeytarCat: Garfield merch getting out of hand
adept_nekomancer: Weird green Kirby
 ContingentCat: we can get it funded by quinten tarintino
  Juliamon: is this... victim blaming?
 RealGamerCow: "It's great to see you, I unfortunately have plans." is 100% not rude
 tdapenguin: V true @realgamercow
Boopity: So I haven't seen every stream of this game, but ghost gf is definitely a representation of/parallel to toxic/intrusive thoughts, right?
  Juliamon: Boopity Mixed with trauma, yeah
 RealGamerCow: and guilt
  Juliamon: and grief
Boopity: Right, that checks out
 tdapenguin: Talk? About lattes?
RhoxPaperScissors: its actually considerate, because now they get paid to hang out with us
 tdapenguin: Erm, wrong!
Boopity: 
adept_nekomancer: I guess when the only tool you have is a knife, everything looks like a teddy bear.
ArtOfStuttering: not the kind of nirvana bang I hope
 RealGamerCow: I'
 RealGamerCow: I'm serious about the band, as long as we do things 100% my way
Boopity: Just absolutely winging it
 tdapenguin: It's the band's way!
 TehAmelie: i wonder sometimes how creative collaborations ever happen
Boopity: I like to have Sat and Sun in a chunk together as well 
Boopity: Sat and Sun OTP
adept_nekomancer: It's the weekend, not the weekstart.
ArmadilloAL: What? No, you need a week-end on EACH end of the week!  You can't expose Monday to the edge of the calendar without an end like that!

 spethycakes: I don't want my therapist to greet me with a wink, but I'm strange
Boopity: I _would_, however, want my friends to greet me with a wink every time I enter the room
Boopity: Ghost gf pls
 tdapenguin: 
Boopity: DAMN
Boopity: Conclusion: after the band dies, he will also start to hear the band in his head

Boopity: 
 SymphonySolstice: getting a job opportunity? gross
Boopity: IAN 
  Juliamon: Nah she was too dominant
 Dog_of_Myth: ^^
  Juliamon: That's NOT WHAT HAPPENED??
 RealGamerCow: says the guy who does not and appears to never have had a job
Boopity: "The dead one and the alive one" 
Boopity: 100%, that's what the therapist scene was getting at pretty much
Boopity: Healthy and proper communication? In this economy!?
 RealGamerCow: Rama needs to stop and say "What would saying this accomplish?"
  Juliamon: "Cinta, what if... what if *we're* the problem"
 spethycakes: Pull yourself up by the katana under your bootstraps
Boopity: 
  Juliamon: katanerds
 SymphonySolstice: 
 tenthtechpriest: booooo
Boopity: Brilliant
 SquareDotCube: (that's the Moon Pearl)
Boopity: If she's a ghost in our head... that would mean she basically sees and hears everything we do, right?
Boopity: RAMA
Boopity: Suddenly this turns into a heist game
Boopity: NOT INTENTIONALLY
iarethel0ser: "Just planning a murder.  Perfectly fine and normal."
 RealGamerCow: Rama needs to...not interact with humans for another year
Boopity: @RealGamerCow That's how the game started 
 jubale1: 
 RealGamerCow: I know, he needs *another*
Boopity: That's fair
 TheDevil_Risen: he's getting owned
 TheDevil_Risen: lmao
 RealGamerCow: "I surely know more about the industry you've been in for several years than you do"
  Juliamon: Dig UP, Rama
iarethel0ser: Rama knows only one way to dig.
Boopity: @Juliamon I don't think he knows that exists
  Juliamon: RAMA FFS
 jubale1: 
  Juliamon: 
 TheDevil_Risen:  
 tdapenguin: ??? I have concerns
Boopity: Aggressive positive reinforcement
 jubale1:  
Boopity: 
 NotCainNorAbel: thanks for that
 ContingentCat: 
 RealGamerCow: She doesn't snore, she wakes Rama up and tells him he's snoring.
 TheDevil_Risen: is it me or on the top right of the camera insert there's a bit of pixel noise from the green screen ?
 NotCainNorAbel: a very minor amount yeah
