 TehAmelie: woot, Root

 TehAmelie: we read you

  LRRbot: Quote #4682: "The roots got the mushrooms and then made chompy faces." —Graham [2018-02-12]
 TehAmelie: of all the most random things, they're making a Gremlins 3 
 TehAmelie: does chat have any quick thoughts about that, by which i mean under 8 minutes
 TehAmelie: i recall the great Institute for Gremlins 2 Studies. that movie was at least 30 full years before its time. which may be hard to repkicate
 RockPusher: Clamp being a Ted Turner parody is a bit lost on people now
 RockPusher: but, eh, as far as brands to shake down for cash, I've seen worse targets
 TehAmelie: heh
 RockPusher: and who knows, there is always the possibility they make a genuinely fun movie
 TehAmelie: the Barbie movie worked, anything's possible
 TehAmelie: i see mostly reasons to be optimistic
ihlendrax: !box
  LRRbot: In the box is: that stick that you light on fire and then Dale describes it in a gross way
 TehAmelie: !advice
  LRRbot: Scorpions aren't good for dating.
 RockPusher: I recommend a soothing ointment for when your stick is on fire…
 TehAmelie: hmm, we should set a scorpion on fire weirdly
 TehAmelie: (probably kill it first)

 Strebenherz: Damn lrrbot shots fired
 Getter404: !sir
  LRRbot: Sir? Sir! DUALSHOCK 4 battery level low.
 Molladia: @LRRbot Thats good advice sometimes
 TehAmelie: a wise woman told me, if you shoot the messenger, in the long run you just get less mail

 RockPusher: Wen Is Day?

 loufghyslaufey: Or watched one?
 darkcyril: @ContingentCat Same! Expecting it on Monday!

 JadedCynic: "I have to win by getting home first!" - totally legit goal
 TheDevil_Risen: Plays within 3 days 
 kusinohki: I honestly have mixed feelings over digital board games.  nice that I can't accidentally do something wrong, but also too many times of "what just happened?  why did it do that?"
 DeM0nFiRe: 
 TheDevil_Risen: butts?
 e_bloc: this game will actually stretch up to the beginning of desert bus
 loufghyslaufey: Oh, i thought the BUS dropped  off.
 Getter404: "b e l o p a"

 RockPusher: badgers badgers badgers badgers

Zeal_Wyman: Badgers good!  I just tried them the first time 2 days ago
 Lord_Hosk: You heard it everyone, the password is "theOldStandby" all one word
 loufghyslaufey: Dabgers dabgers dabgers dabgers
 kusinohki: how many factions does root have now??
 loufghyslaufey: No we didn't.
 TheDevil_Risen: haii <att Ian Kathleen and BenBen
 Getter404: @kusinohki 4 base, 2 per expansion cycle, so... I want to say 12 with the Bats & Frogs next spring?
 TheDevil_Risen: *Matt
 public_key_reveal_party: Field hospitals, necromancers, same difference
 Getter404: But that's not counting all the various subclasses for the Vagabond
 Dog_of_Myth: Looks like they will have 13 factions
 Metric_Furlong: The Vagabond: the fun little guy who every single competitive-level ROOT player hates and wants removed from the game 
 JadedCynic: caw!!!
 Getter404: I think 13 might be the Second Vagabond unless I'm forgetting something major?
 PharaohBender27: Oooh, the bird ones!
 kusinohki: @getter404  thanks.  I assume every version of the vegabond works the same?
 lamina5432: no bird brains in chat
 MAPBoardgames: Winning strat: Just don't lose
   LoadingReadyRun: With the latest expansion (which just came out in october) I believe the digital version has parity with the physical board game, which is nice
 evil_h2o_elf: I've only played root with two players but the Eyrie has always won
 Getter404: @kusinohki Mostly, but some of them can, say, trigger combat in weird ways or firebomb clearings
 Mr_Bitterness: @kusinohki No, there's different vagabonds with different abilities

letsbelgo: Neat. An Eyrie is a hawk/eagle nest.
letsbelgo: puns
 Metric_Furlong: Matt's birds are just built different
 TheDevil_Risen: Cam was birbing out of his mind
 Getter404: @LoadingReadyRun Yeah, the new expansion was originally set for November but got pushed back to sometime in the Spring... which I only discovered 2 days after I put in my pre-order
 PharaohBender27: 
 ProcyonFlynn:  Hype
 Getter404: IIRC the "strongest" are usually considered the Tinker and the flying squirrel one I forget the name of
 TheDevil_Risen: hai  
derolopercy: Who's the raccoon guy I forget the name of
 Getter404: Bats & Frogs!
 e_bloc: more of a three-est really
 RatherLargeToad: 
 Mr_Bitterness: @derolopercy The Vagabond?
 BusTed: 
grymm_the_pleasant: The 13 doesn't include the second vagabond. The 13th is the 3rd faction in the new expansion (the vagabond/skunk one)
 Getter404: The Frogs sound like they act a little like the Lizards in that they can hijack the suit of a clearing
 Metric_Furlong: Ben 'Not an Animal Racist' Ulmer
 MacbethSeemsSus: axolotl when
 e_bloc: I have seen your snake
 kusinohki: I don't think there's a dog faction which is a little surprising
Shadowsoflife: Any insects in the game?
 Getter404: Like they're literally soliciting "Frog Clearing Markers" that can slide on top of the regular deluxe markers

 iris_of_ether: It won't get there until well after Desert Bus but my friends and I worked on making a *particularly* cursed wall art to mail in
Alex_Frostfire: This game's asymmetric design always impressed me.
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ConcernedFineGaragePlanking-Q1Z_uy5bfy0gjrZK
 RockPusher: iris_of_ether that's a horrifying thing to read given your baseline values for cursed
 TheDevil_Risen: aww that poor mouse is in a sack
 iris_of_ether: @RockPusher Perhaps more 'shitpost' than 'cursed' but yeah, still

Alex_Frostfire: That's the impression that I get, too.
 CaptainSpam: Oh yeah.  You get into ska, it gets DARK.
 e_bloc: the word ska just sounds like you're sanding something
 Mr_Bitterness: Some of my favorite ska songs are about achololism and dying from a brain tumor
 Dog_of_Myth: But what about goth ska?
 CaptainSpam: It's related to angry punk music, and it knows how to spring it on you when you least expect it.
 TheDevil_Risen: someone call the ambulance for that poor thing ben is clicking on
 MacbethSeemsSus: I want to portmanteau "goth ska" so bad
 TheDevil_Risen: IAN
 TheDevil_Risen:

 Dog_of_Myth: @LoadingReadyRun No, that's a character in Goonies.
 tiltyhouse: Okay chat, put a clock on the "Warriors come out and plaaaaaayyyy"
 Mr_Bitterness: Uh-oh, stinky!
letsbelgo: furious typing
 e_bloc: I've heard you can find those at youtube
 iris_of_ether: BEN
 TheDevil_Risen: man i've watched this game almost every time LRR played it and I still don't get whats going on 
  Juliamon: it makes more sense if you've played it before yourself
 Metric_Furlong: !clip
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
 TheDevil_Risen:  
 RockPusher:  
 MacbethSeemsSus: @LoadingReadyRun Just got back from doing dishes, this wins definitely
 ShaneLeeAtk: 
 CaptainSpam: It might make more sense if you know that everybody's got their own goals.
 Lord_Hosk: https://i.imgur.com/QohL17D.png
 vinewood_og: Make woodenade?
 TheDevil_Risen: ahh thanks Kathleen  that makes more sense then
 Mr_Bitterness: @TheDevil_Risen Is there a particular bit you're confused about?
UtilityPunk: It's a game about aminals backstabbing, and each aminal stabs back different
 Mr_Bitterness: Ian also has a specific number of actions he has per turn.
 Mr_Bitterness: But Ian can be flexible with those actions. Kathleen has a set of actions she HAS to do based on her decree, but she can start getting lots of points by fulfilling her decrees.
cheshiregleam: Kathleen is basically programming her turns and HAS to keep expanding the program until fulfilling it becomes impossible
cheshiregleam: then the government collapses
 Getter404: a
 Mr_Bitterness: Matt's gameplay is based on his equipment; more equipment means more actions. He can also use his cards in hand to get points and trade.
 TheDevil_Risen: with the fur?
 Getter404: The jeans with the jeans?
 TheDevil_Risen: all the animals were looking at her  
 AFamiliarCalledEl: Fur-lined clothing seems a bit brutal in this setting
 Metric_Furlong: the GOATprince
cheshiregleam: Also unlike the other factions, Matt is playing a single heroic guy instead of a government/organization
   LoadingReadyRun:  Partake of my bag for it is.....a bag
Firewhiskers: Yet
 TheDevil_Risen: HAHAHA
 e_bloc: it makes people make people
 ContingentCat: IAN
 Getter404: One big steppy
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 RockPusher:  
grymm_the_pleasant: The birds have no tokens
 Getter404: The game is exceedingly precise in its wording. Tokens are different from Pieces are different from Warriors
 AFamiliarCalledEl: tokens are the small things like the corvid tricks, I think?
grymm_the_pleasant: They are round in physical form
grymm_the_pleasant: wood and relics are the types here
 Getter404: It's easy to remember in the physical game. Blowing up cardboard always gets you points, wood is just ablative armor
Alex_Frostfire: Eyrie actually can't build two roosts in the same clearing.
 Getter404: That was what, 4 or 5 turns without Turmoil? Impressive for a first run
 Dog_of_Myth: Next bird up
   LoadingReadyRun: I wonder if any hospitals have a net positive on population? As in, more people leave the hospital then go in.
Firewhiskers: @LoadingReadyRun Gasp its almost as if you can have a kid in a hospital
 Getter404: @LoadingReadyRun ...maternity wards?
 TheDevil_Risen: I mean, in india probably
 e_bloc: 
 Mr_Bitterness: @LoadingReadyRun I doubt it, a LOT of people die in hospitals
 Getter404: L + Ratio + OBGYN
   LoadingReadyRun: as in more people are born in the hospital then die
 TheDevil_Risen: well that would have to be the case given the population is growing world wide???
 NotCainNorAbel: I would guess that most hospitals are net positive if they labor and delivery.  MOST people are born in a hospital but not everyone dies in one.
 Strebenherz: by averages sure but specifically, probably
Alex_Frostfire: The birds end up with a weird situation sometimes where they *want* to lose troops. If you can't recruit because you don't have any warriors in your supply... believe it or not, turmoil.
 RockPusher: old man morning Ben
 lamina5432: switch ben and kathleen next year
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/RealTriumphantBisonCoolStoryBob-ajt_z9D7TKmKnL9N

 TheDevil_Risen: *store.loadingreadyrun.com
 RockPusher: *sidles up* would you like… a rock?
   LoadingReadyRun:  I've been doing the  Zeta switchover for the last couple of days. I'm not a big nighttime person, so it takes a bit to do the switch
letsbelgo: Am I the only one who hears the echo? Its maddening.
letsbelgo: I am an audio professional, so my ears are earing
ihlendrax: I hear it mostly when Kathleen talks.
 JadedCynic: no echo on this desktop twitch client
 Dog_of_Myth: There was a slight one earlier but  I haven't heard it in a while.
 mercano82: I am someone who believes 6:00 only happens once a day;  7:00 should only happen once, too, if at all possible
 Geldaran: i turned my audio up and yeah, there is a faint one.
 eid010n: I can hear a very tinny echo on Kathleen
 Geldaran: but i had to turn it way up.
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 1 1 1 1 1
ghyllnox: Yeah it's when Kathleen is talking
 TheDevil_Risen: hai G offcamera
ghyllnox: The solution is for Kathleen to yell and then watch the input levels
 JadedCynic: Props to best G 
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/JollySoftMarjoramDendiFace-jcol8b0QP3mpJn56
ghyllnox: Sure but yeah now you're just quiet
 TheDevil_Risen: yeah its coming from when Kathleen's mic's open so not sure
 PharaohBender27: 
 TheDevil_Risen: crossfeed in the goxLR
 ProcyonFlynn: Still love the add clause - "Not my monkeys, not my circus, but i'm friends with the clowns"
ghyllnox: "Not my circus, unfortunately those *are* my monkeys"
 MacbethSeemsSus: "Not my problem" Ben says, fingers twitching
 TheDevil_Risen: yeah i bet its the GoXLR

UtilityPunk: Mining and crafting probably means knitting a nice bag to carry your ores
rustywir3s: Allergy Boy, Batman's least known sidekick

 Dog_of_Myth: Yeah, that's me with cats. I'm on a timer.

 MacbethSeemsSus: "Ben's sinuses will seize up in t-minus 10 minutes"
 TehAmelie: allergies suck. though i hear they're working on a vaccine now
 Simonark: Are they the "Cat Means You Can't Breathe", "Cat Means You Pass Out" or "Cat Makes Face Balloon" allergies?
 PharaohBender27: Game clearly rigged for Kathleen 
 DigitalSeahorse: kitty
 Transmuted_Elf: what is ians points?
 omdorastrix: I love that someone paid for the LRR Allergy Drug crapshot to run as an ad in front of LRR videos that one time

rustywir3s: exposure theraphy \o/
 Transmuted_Elf: ah
 betweenmyself: call that cat a pokemon, cause they been Giganta-meow-xed

 Getter404: Meanwhile going on a VoD binge, did they really only play Spirit Island the one time?
 kusinohki: meows
 kusinohki: yep, spirit island only once.  think it became a boxing day giveaway later
 Getter404: I live in fear of the day where the Arkham Stockpile ends up in a Boxing Day crate
 kusinohki: I keep foolishly hoping for a sentinels of the multiverse afk stream...
 Mr_Bitterness: @Getter404 I wish for an Arkham Long Game one day
 Mr_Bitterness: Or for Wheeler to do Netrunner on Is This Your Card
 kusinohki: 19th annual DB?  thought this year was 20...

 TheDevil_Risen: 
 ContingentCat: Hi Kathleen
 kusinohki: spirit island?  yeah.  I find it a little overwhelming tbh.  it's my friends favorite game though so I blunder through just to play a game with her sometimes
 RockPusher: everyone's favourite gameshow: Audio Routing!
 darkcyril: Root Summer Camp!
 Mr_Bitterness: Rats! Rats!  We are the rats!
UtilityPunk: Ben got nerfed! 
 Mai_Andra: ♫ I got a lake house in Canada... ♫
 JadedCynic: oh!  Ferry, not fairy 
 JadedCynic: *jazz hands*  Homonyms!
 Mai_Andra: Like the cheese, we must stand alone.
 kusinohki: ratage oppress
 ContingentCat: Finally AFK has a beach episode
   LoadingReadyRun:  sorry, we were just working on pulling gameplay from Kathleen's view, but testing the audio routing while live is always a little tricky 
grymm_the_pleasant: which deck is being played?
 JadedCynic: 
 kusinohki: only played root once.  was the cats.  still don't know how they craft
grymm_the_pleasant: Seeing soup kitchen so partisans... no thanos tinker fortunately
 TheDevil_Risen: all according to kekaku
 kusinohki: I think all my cards required a clearing I had no access to or something so kind of ignored it
 Mai_Andra: "You have my sympathy." <blows them up>
 AFamiliarCalledEl: It's like one of those cartoon fight clouds
UtilityPunk: Abomination of Rat-o-War
 HadesLeprechaun: I don't control the mob, I just incite them

 HadesLeprechaun: I brought you blue, lemme smash
UtilityPunk: Building Aeropostle outlets to corner the market
 Mr_Bitterness: Delicious tea
 PharaohBender27: Deliciously *forged* tea, based on those graphics
 HadesLeprechaun: there is a sound effect in this game that sounds vaguely like the 'a person joined your Discord call' sound and I keep having to check I'm not mistakenly in a call
 PharaohBender27: 
 RatherLargeToad: mmmm…goo
 PharaohBender27: 3 hours!?
 PharaohBender27: Oh OK 3 hours in the oven, not 3 hours worrying over the stove
 JadedCynic: ohhhh, a nice hearty soup...
 PharaohBender27: (I'm someone for whom cooking is generally "I usually enjoy the results; I tolerate the process, sometimes barely")
MTigress: speaking of breakfasts, i was watching old eps of The Panalysts and in one, Cameron mentioned hot grape nuts
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/DoubtfulSavageHerdKreygasm-yRxyM-9EM5F51R8z
 PharaohBender27: @MTigress Grape nuts in a wok, IIRC
 TheDevil_Risen: wait did i just see relentless rats?
MTigress: @PharaohBender27 yus
 xantos69: The circle of life?
 Strebenherz: seagulls are the wannabe dumpsters of the sea
 HadesLeprechaun: if pelican mouth not meant for babies, why perfectly baby shaped
 ContingentCat: That video made by pelicans
 PharaohBender27: I mean, surely the Pelican is more reliable than the Pelican't or the Peliwon't
 ContingentCat: Yay unions!
 betweenmyself: Pelicans make the best babysitters.  Entrust your fat human children to the warm embrace of Pelican gullets.  - Normal Man Person (Definitely Not Pelican)
 TheDevil_Risen: nyah!
 Mr_Bitterness: A tern? An ARCTIC tern!?
 JadedCynic: Ben is all out of gum
 gsyhiap: I'm holding out for a heel tern.
 vinewood_og: Don't throw rocks at a bird with a machine gun.
 betweenmyself: “They Live” is entry level Piper fare; gotta go with “Hell Comes to Frogtown” 
 Geldaran: razed right?
grymm_the_pleasant: The pelican/baby myth I find more disturbing is the vulning (where middle ages types liked to think pelicans pierced their own chests to feed their children their blood)
 TheDevil_Risen: @grymm_the_pleasant hardcore
 Strebenherz: gaslight gatekeep mattboss
 betweenmyself: @grymm_the_pleasant speaking as a single, childless man, this seems like the most sensible way to feed one’s young 
 Strebenherz: validation!
 PharaohBender27: 
 Strebenherz: @betweenmyself i mean 50/50 if i cook, i'm spilling my own blood anyway
 TheDevil_Risen: IAN!

niccus: ben will now die for you!
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 definenull: Ian, LLM poisoner
 Mr_Bitterness: Watermelons and books
 Getter404: I think you have to hit Affection Level 5 before you need to spend 300 gems on a wedding ring
 Mr_Bitterness: then she ate a gem
 ContingentCat: Is it casual now
 TheDevil_Risen: i mean, Ian is right
 vinewood_og: Never stop Craping
 TheDevil_Risen: we buy them a diamond to make our intentions known

 TheDevil_Risen: stop dealing catnip to the cats
 saintguard: @AFamiliarCalledEl Rose of Versailles
 AFamiliarCalledEl: thanks!
 Getter404: Ian no. Not again.
 saintguard: np!
 ContingentCat: The rat becomes the king
 TheDevil_Risen: smash the cups and smash the plates thats what cat-sempai Ian hates
 tiltyhouse: @AFamiliarCalledEl I mentioned Aim for the Ace, Rose of Versailles, and Utena
 mercano82: the fox safe word is “quwop quwop quwop kapow”
 TheDevil_Risen: hahahaha
 TheDevil_Risen: mistakes were made
 Getter404: The Cat's winrate in general isn't great. They're a big target and have a pretty hard cap on how many actions they can get in a turn
 TheDevil_Risen: 
CuteTeaGoat: definitely hard to beat the marquis at her keep
 JadedCynic: Ben marched the rat horde right into the cat food factory....

 Getter404: The rule for movement is you have to control origin OR destination, yeah. Forget if that applies to the Ferry

 Lysander_salamander: I wonder if the Root Rpg is good
 Getter404: @Lysander_salamander Unsurprisingly it's where most of the Lore is
 Getter404: Haven't picked it up myself yet
 DaxStrife: "I need to make things bad here." - Ian, and every tech-bro.
   LoadingReadyRun:  I've heard good things about the ROOT RPG, but haven't played it to watched it played
grymm_the_pleasant: @Lysander_salamander I like it. PbtA if you understand, everyone is a vagabond. Since I like the board game, I like the Board game beginning presented in the second book (basically play 3 rounds without vagabonds and sculpt from there)
 Lysander_salamander: that's interesting
 Lysander_salamander: I've seen a few other Powered By the Apocalypse games played, so maybe I'll take a closer look
 ArtDecoSunburn: Am I correct in understanding post charity event, LRR TT will be a session of "Lords of Waterdeep"? Will this be physical or virtual version?
 Lysander_salamander: Though, Wanderhome has also been catching my attention
grymm_the_pleasant: There are some free quickstarts that give a reasonable preview
 e_bloc: yeah its commander
 Getter404: Actually,  IIRC "conservative until you explode" seems to be the ideal for them? Like you get to 3-5 roosts, hang on to your base until you have a proper murder blob, then turn it into a tidal wave
