Shparky2197: Hello, how are you today, chat? I am tired
TXC2: hi Shparky2197
Shparky2197:
Flyingdelorion: Hello, happy timezone!
paronomasiac042: ho, chat!
TXC2: hello Flyingdelorion and paronomasiac042 welcome
Flyingdelorion: Hello @TXC2 Hope you are doing okay this thursday!
Shparky2197: Right. For me it is Friday, and the last day in my fortnightly roster before my weekend off. This is when I am the most blank.
Shparky2197: Talking Sim should help wake my brain up.
Bassios:
Oh good, I didn't miss the start of the stream 
TXC2: here we GO!
Shparky2197: Hello, Cori and Cam!
TXC2: Hello Cori and Cameron
paronomasiac042: mood
Sethalidos: Cam's ded
TXC2: MAN DOWN!
exeJayce: mood indeed
JKBalch: Ah, Cameron are you ok?
Shparky2197: Oh hey, it me
richard_ermen: Cameron ded?
richard_ermen: I'm writing a novel!
raulghoulia: its ya boi
Bruceski: Oh no, if it's not HIS nightmare then that means...
TXC2:
I've been playing half life 2 
richard_ermen: Cool and relatable? Wowzers! That's the bomb!
IanAllenBird: hello it is too cold here and I'm in caves of qud
Shparky2197: My world is opening packs in Arena because I have not had enough coffee yet.
Flyingdelorion: Hello C&C Simulator company!
TXC2: !patreon
Bruceski: My hat got called cool yesterday, does that count?
TXC2: !store
LRRbot:
The LoadingReadyRun store has returned! Merch selection is currently limited but there is more on the way. Check out https://store.loadingreadyrun.com/ and maybe buy a thing or two!
MenomeAlice: I think you're both cool 😎
richard_ermen: Such a natural progression of commerce and influencing. Amazing.
Shparky2197: "Living the dream" Is being used as a sarcastic expression in my small town.

paronomasiac042: it's a recent viral hack for keeping shoes dry
richard_ermen: Sometimes you just need to leafblow away the stress.
accountmadeforants: Maybe there were no leaves because he's just that good

TXC2: in the southern US "living the dream" is code for "I need you to throw me off this building"
richard_ermen: I feel that "having no idea what is happening here" is very much the zeitgeist.
raulghoulia: that reminds me I need to finish my replay of Metaphor ReFantazio
richard_ermen: I wonder. At what point is the Cenobite offer more attractive than leafblowing the rain?
Creideiki_SE: Bosch painting: put a paintbrush in a cordless drill.
Bassios: I've seen people screaming at the rain at re-enactment events
TXC2: "have you ever blown the rain?!"
Shparky2197: We're all kinda falling apart?

raulghoulia: managers
accountmadeforants: Chocolate rain, some stay dry because they use a leafblower and others feel the pain
MenomeAlice: 🎵Why does it always leafblow on me? 🎵
Shparky2197: tbf, we've been falling apart for all time, not just now.
TXC2: he's doing it for the narrative
richard_ermen: "Juuuuust leafblow us up........skeet skeet"....

Bassios: I should get an emotional support leaf blower
richard_ermen: Life....uhh....finds a leafblower.
accountmadeforants: I do occasionally get the urge to use compressed air for no real good reason so maybe this is just a scaled up version of that.
raulghoulia: Jean Baptiste Emanuel Zorg
TreeVor84: when you spend all day sucking, sometimes you just gotta blow
goatprince: i'm waiting for a 3-sided coin to complicate all my allegories
Shparky2197: This is why I never judge, you don't know what's going on in someones head, and as long as they aren't hurting something or someone, it's fine
richard_ermen: Clearly Cameron needs to take JFK more to heart. "Ask not, what the leaf blower man can do for you. Ask what you can for him."
TXC2: "what if we built new buildings WITHOUT demolishing the current ones?" "sounds like Communism to me"
Flyingdelorion: @TreeVor84 That sounds like an adult movie....
MenomeAlice: LET HE WHO HATH NOT BLOWN CAST THE FIRST LEAF
EvilBadman: and all the bugs are smoking cigarettes?
Bassios: Some traditions should die out
richard_ermen: @TXC2 We'll never get to discover past centuries via archaelogy, if we're not just build on top of older buildings!
v_nome: or perhaps new and innovative slurs.
RedAlexxis: It's not a rock, it's a rock anachronism?
TreeVor84: @Flyingdelorion not the title, but definitely the tagline
accountmadeforants: Trying to bum cigarettes off of cockroaches
Bassios: brb gonna go turn over some rocks in the garden to see what slurs have taken root
SquareDotCube: this is slowly becoming "leaf blower simulator but its secretly about an existential life crisis"
TheMerricat: so the thing that I'm wondering... if they were using a leaf blower in the rain... was a gas one or were they trying to get electrocuted?
richard_ermen: What about our post-conceived notions?
RealGamerCow: I understood some of those words Cameron just said.
Shparky2197: I smoke, I hate it, going to try not to smoke for at least the length of the stream
Bruceski: I found Street Vape the other day
TXC2: TheMerricat Cameron said gas
TheMerricat:
Ah I missed that. 
knightWarrior82: what if not what if
v_nome: I try to do as little thinking as possible these days. Bad for my mental health.
LidofLoathing: I had a philosophy minor in college, I always think "what if"
TheMerricat: Marvel's What If?
undecided44: But Cameron... why tho?!?
richard_ermen: What if Cam is secretly scottish and saying "What is?"
TXC2: I hear children have the vapes now
TreeVor84: "what if" is one of the questions that keeps me from sleeping
RealGamerCow: how many disposable vapes would it take to power an electric car?
richard_ermen: Burning Down Landfills sounds like a dope prog-rogck name.
Valkryir: cluster computing with disposable vape controllers
RealGamerCow: After all, data centers are the most important part of our society and economy right now
SquareDotCube: or smash those rocks into the data centers
TXC2:
I was going with use rocks to smash data centres 
MWGNZ: ^
Bassios: So I didn't find any slurs under the rocks in my gardens, but I did find some back-handed compliments
accountmadeforants: @RealGamerCow Uh... assuming there's like 0.5 Wh in each, at least a hundred thousand
richard_ermen: I wonder at what point the oligarchs will realize that knowing all this data does nothing for their immortality. I mean, how does knowing my daily joghurt intake help with that?
RedAlexxis: It's not a rock, it's rock indentured servitude?
TXC2: Nyla ?
accountmadeforants: @accountmadeforants Oh, apparently a lot of them have 5-600 mAh batteries, which would cut that down by quite a bit (to about a quarter or a third)
TXC2:
It's kinda shocking how many characters in Hollow knight show up once, and are never a problem
RedAlexxis:
Never trust anyone, words to live by. 
v_nome: Ok, but what about in Hollow Knight?
richard_ermen: Facts of life at 11 here.
s0lesurviv0r: "adventurers like you and me are in this together, right?"
richard_ermen: Space Monks?
goatprince: okay so there's monks, but do they kiss
richard_ermen: I mean, there will always be monks. If modernity has every proven anything its that people believe justs to spite. In spite. Out of spite. For spite's sake.
TXC2: space monks, sponks
richard_ermen: I always like to think of Babylon 5's catholic monks who look for god in code.
CeridwenCoeur: I think monastic traditions do not require religion, but offer spiritual practices that can persist well into the future
NoxStryx: I love a Canticle for Lebowitz
Shparky2197: I read Anathem. I don't really have more to add there
accountmadeforants: I like The Locked Tomb series for that (Gideon the Ninth and so on), because its whole "sci-fi monastic order" is just *nuts*
richard_ermen: I love the design of the game. I found it utterly unplayable for my sentiments but I'm happy to see it on TalkingSim.
Bassios: Everything sounds better with choruses and massive reverb
raulghoulia: remember the gregorian chant fad of the 1990s?
TXC2: mmccx = 2210 for those who wonder
richard_ermen: @raulghoulia Oh yes. That summer of...1996? when suddenly gregorian chants were chart hits.
accountmadeforants:
Oh, good, look forward to being The Most Goth
RedAlexxis: Well, this does look cool, but work calls, have fun, see you in the vod
TXC2: so long RedAlexxis stay safe
MWGNZ: uh oh gloomies
Shparky2197: @RedAlexxis Bye, hope work goes well
accountmadeforants: I was going to say the normal number of limbs, but there is that one six-legged dog (called Noodle)
accountmadeforants: This UI has aesthetics out the wazoo, I'm *engaged*
TheMerricat: You are still on using 7 fuel
TXC2: is the 4 better then 2?
accountmadeforants: @Bassios Picture the human side of WH40K, but people were still *mostly* cool and normal (despite the whole universe being the same kind of fucked, and their aesthetics still involving just *so many skulls*), also lesbian necromancers in space
Bassios: @accountmadeforants So I was on board and then you got to "lesbian necromancers in space" and oops the books are in my shopping cart
Shparky2197: @accountmadeforants I'm intrigued, I'll look at checking them out
TXC2: wonderful art there
TXC2: some mid 90's GW art right here
InconsiderateHat: @Bassios I'm looking forward to book four. (Please nobody dash my dreams of a book four if you know it's not coming, I want to believe)
accountmadeforants: The audio book versions of it are also great
TheMerricat:
This _IS_ what manuals from the 80's looked like.
InconsiderateHat: @accountmadeforants That's how I read them. Agreed.
Shparky2197: @TheMerricat Now I want to mock up an 80s style manual for a modern video game. Could be a fun project
JKBalch: Man would it be satisfying to move these pieces on a physical map.
Bassios: My brain can't do audiobooks. I end up missing huge sections because I ADHD into doing something else

TheMerricat: @Bassios Ditto. I can't listen to audio that requires thought _and_ do anything else.
accountmadeforants: @InconsiderateHat The fourth book is still being worked on, last I heard, it's just taking a while. (And apparently Muir mentioned at an event that she has long COVID which has slowed things down, but I can't find a source for that.)
TheMerricat: Can your ship hold all this?
InconsiderateHat: Thank goodness, I was worried the trilogy might have just had an unsatisfying ending. XD
accountmadeforants:
@Bassios I have ADHD and love audio books as something to listen to during mostly mindless tasks (chores, exercise). But yeah, if I ever listen to them while doing something slightly more active I find myself skipping back *a lot*

accountmadeforants: "Guide to Completing a Solar System" goes hard
TXC2:
I listen to podcasts while playing arena, and often times I have to pause it to concentrate on the game
accountmadeforants: That sort of fail state does seem appropriate for the setting, if nothing else
Shparky2197: I do split my attention temporally, watching for a minute, doing something else for a minute. It means that I don't get the full picture, but my brain has trouble settling, and is happy to rewatch and relisten
TXC2: neat the planets all have synchronous orbits, how polite of them
CeridwenCoeur: I think the fact that you can mismanage resources and brick down the road fits the themes of the game
iangmorris: i heard about this game a while ago
iangmorris: it is interesting
Shparky2197: @TXC2 My brain is oscillating between shouting "Orbital Mechanics!" and "Shut up brain, it's a simplifying assumption in a video game"
TXC2: Shparky2197 yeap
Shparky2197: This feels like it would be so easy to miss actions in this game. I would be kicking myself over and over while playing it
TXC2: kind of game you need to keep your order of operations in mind all the time
TheMerricat: This is definitely a game I'd want to be able to have a series of saves for.
TXC2:
yes, an iron man run of this could be miserable
RealGamerCow: is this game from the Obra Din people?
Bassios: This game, much like stellaris, is the kind of game I love watching someone else play, but am absolute dogshit at playing myself
TXC2:
oh Gods yes, Stellaris is a game I really wanted to like, but bounced off of it like a super ball

TheMerricat: @RealGamerCow The only other game by this dev on Steam is Amberspire, which looks like this, but a city builder. Not out yet either.
RealGamerCow: oopsie boingo
Bassios: "We have a new error message" is what I spend my entire day at work saying, desperately trying to debug my way out of my own stupidity
TheMerricat: I love Stellaris, but I've never completed a game because I refuse to play in a galaxy that isn't 5 billion stars with 10 ai players and by the time it's turn 100 the game takes 10 mins for each turn.
Shparky2197: Yeah, I just tried to start Stellaris playing for the first time, got overwhelmed quite quickly. I will try again
wordnerdify: Good afternoon, all
Shparky2197: @TheMerricat Oh hey, that sounds like me and the various Civs
RealGamerCow:
TXC2: hello wordnerdify welcome
TheMerricat:
@Shparky2197 That's also me and Civ games.
Shparky2197: Hi, @wordnerdify, how are you going?
TheMerricat:
The proper way to 'win' a 4X game is to make your computer beg you not to launch the program again because it can't handle the stress.

TheMerricat:
@Shparky2197 Oh god, for me other players would be hell. I play 4x games because I want to owned the map.
Shparky2197: Fair enough.
TheMerricat:
@Sorator13 It's not a proper 80's/90's era game manual if there isn't _SOME_ sort of errata of stuff that got cut/changed after the book went to press and before the game went gold.

Bassios: I watch so much of LRR's content through VODs that I have *twice* tried to skip through the break. The break hasn't been going for long enough for me to forget I already tried it! I should go to bed
Shparky2197: @Bassios Probably a good idea. I've been there before, the sleep madness is not a good option
Bassios: @Shparky2197 I got about 2 hours sleep last night because chronic insomnia is a bitch. Had a cracking headache all day. I might go lie down in a bit
Shparky2197: I have definitely been there, I also don't sleep well.
Bassios: You'd think that at 37 I'd be well practiced at going to sleep, but apparently just like cooking, I can still suck at it even after all this time
CaptainSpam: Wait... we're going full-on hardcore Cribbage next week?
Juliamon: CaptainSpam Apparently Wheeler's never played, and it's time to teach him
TheMerricat:
So chat during ad break I was reading up on this game, what I'm about to type is a spoiler but since Talking Sim is a fully spoilt stream, I'll type it anyway.... Avert your eyes... When you 'win' the game, the game summarily deletes your save so you can't go back.
SkylerRingtail: Two titanium you said?
GapFiller: TheMerricat not enough games delete yr save after completion imo
TheMerricat:
JKBalch:
Micalovits: I think the first couple of runs of this is more of a "See how far you can get" rather than "win"
Shparky2197: Treating it like a rogue-like would probably help my brain accept fail states better.
iris_of_ether:
SkylerRingtail: Yeah, this is really pinging the part of my brain that loves High Frontier (that glorious 8+ hour board game monstrosity). "Oops, my rocket is too heavy and doesn't have enough fuel to get where I meant to go. How do I salvage this mission?"
TheMerricat:
This would be a board game that requires a full war room to play.
Shparky2197: A 4 ft thick board game would probably mean I would never see the light of day again
Shparky2197: I'd be that invested in playing it
SkylerRingtail: I would totally play this as a board game. But would require a bit more abstraction to fit on a table
iris_of_ether: I do like terrain pieces
Juliamon: I would believe this game started as a board game until they realized the physical limitations of the format
SkylerRingtail: Though, I could see this as a scenario-based co-op game with a legacy component. ...Yeah, I think one could make it work on a table.
SquareDotCube: Because I feel like hitting chat and stream with a random question - what's your favorite flavor of taffy?
Juliamon: Maple
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!)
Bassios: I don't know if I've ever had taffy before
Shparky2197: I have also not had taffy, it might be called something different here in Aus, but *shrugs*
Juliamon: Taffy is like chewing gum that you're meant to swallow
Shparky2197: Do Zappos count?
SquareDotCube: salt water taffy tends to be the most common kind
Juliamon: I don't know if saltwater taffy is specifically an American thing?
Shparky2197: I don't know that they do
Bassios: According to wikipedia, what I call a fruit chew or a chewy sweet is what North America calls taffy
Juliamon: I don't know what Zappos are other than a shoe brand lol
Bassios: So like, Starburst
Juliamon: Starburst is a soft taffy, yeah
Juliamon: as are Hi-Chew
Juliamon: but taffy isn't explicitly fruit
Shparky2197: Oh, yeah, I eat Zappos, sour taffies, strawberry is my favourite flavour. Terrible for my teeth though
Juliamon: like I said, maple is my fav
filthwizard_1985: Tried taffy once expecting it to be like starburst and was grossed out by how salty it was
Shparky2197: @Bassios They no longer sell them in Aus, at least where I live, I'm mad salty about that
accountmadeforants: The ambient music in this game is so, so strong.
Bassios: @Shparky2197 That honks. And I bet importing them is an absolute ballache at best
TheMerricat: Fun fact, apparently there is no 'real' difference between salt water taffy and 'regular' taffy. SWT is just a marketing gimmick that someone came up with in Atlantic City that took off. Like Corinthian Leather.
accountmadeforants: There's also the occasional urgency that really adds to the setting
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat So... is there salt water involved in either of them?

TheMerricat: @accountmadeforants There is _salt_ and there is _water_ in taffy. But it's not saltwater.
Micalovits: Death to Chronos?
Mattmitchell45: Only a bit of salt
Anubis169: Heya~
Bassios: @TheMerricat So more accurately it should be "Salt, Water Taffy"
TheMerricat:
@Bassios
accountmadeforants:
@TheMerricat So what you're telling me someone has to start making taffy with actual saltwater

Clench_Eastwood: same!
Clench_Eastwood: although I was more of a magnuum rewatch guy
Clench_Eastwood: and ghost watch

Clench_Eastwood: was rewatch with love Cam and Wiggans?

Shparky2197: game ambience
TheMerricat: This is game ambience.
accountmadeforants: @thesurfaceofthemoon This is the game itself
thesurfaceofthemoon: thx
e_bloc: pop question hot swap
Sorator13: everyone talks about hot swap, but what about lukewarm swap?

Thanks for subscribing, OtherEdgeworth! (Today's storm count: 15)
thesurfaceofthemoon: @Mashamino Yeah, the objects and the space back-drop seem almost like the aesthetic of a kid playing with wooden blocks and imagination. But then candle light and the sound scape definitely do not fit that feel, lol.
TheMerricat:
I agree with all the folk earlier in the stream saying this had to have started out as a board game and transitioned to a video game once they realized exactly how much a physical version of this would take.
TheMerricat:
If they played this on AFK, Ben would need all of the studios just for all the boards.
accountmadeforants:
You've really started to talk like characters in a sci-fi novel/series. "We need to put the iron in orbit" -"But that's not going to the same moon..."
ArdCollider: o7
e_bloc:
e_bloc: I could go for some dim sum
iris_of_ether: I could go for Dim Sun right now
iris_of_ether: Same brain cell
e_bloc: @iris_of_ether oops thought it was my turn
Shparky2197: @TheMerricat That's reminding me of Klaus D'Abrucio talking about the second table needed to hold all the components. Delayed reply, had to look up how to speel the name
TheMerricat:
Obviously Scifi fans are obsessed with poop. That's why so many folk obsessed over why the Enterprise didn't have any toilets onboard.
TheMerricat:
@Shparky2197
ArdCollider: sounds like this is going amazingly well and isn't at all byzantine and intricate
omdorastrix: @TheMerricat The enterprise HAD a toilet on-board, until the borg stole it
e_bloc: bingo
ArdCollider: also it looks like any given Eurorack synth module where someone has departed from conventional labeling schemes.
Shparky2197: Efficiency!
TheMerricat:
Shparky2197: Extra resources are only useful if you're alive to use them
TheMerricat:
@Shparky2197 And the stream isn't over.
Shparky2197: Oh, right, and that

TheAwkes: BGM is good. Like Rogue Trader for a slightly less ominous universe.
TheMerricat: _slightly_
e_bloc: now get the hell out of our galaxy

accountmadeforants: @ArdCollider One of these days there's going to be a VR version of Propellerhead Reason and we'll see the final form of Euroracks.
ArdCollider: credible threat, yes
TheAwkes: A reason to revive the MS Surface table!
accountmadeforants:
@TheAwkes Few things have made me feel such a mighty need as when they showed off how they could do D&D maps on them
accountmadeforants: Frostpunk definitely seems appropriate for this stream
Shparky2197: Serge said this? He contains multitudes
Juliamon: Serge is *really* good at separating gaming from morality
accountmadeforants: @Shparky2197 Serge is very... pragmatic... when it comes to *efficiency* in video games
TheMerricat: I think you get that power later on. At least that is what it seemed like from the options list you had to pick from post hybernation.
TheAwkes: @accountmadeforants The combination of broad multi-touch and direction-sensitive RFID tagging had a lot of promise.
Shparky2197: @Juliamon I must admit, I find it difficult to be amoral in video games.
TheAwkes: @Shparky2197 Me now: *This time* I'll play the Bastardâ„¢. 10 minutes later: I will fight for justice and save you all!

LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, atinyspacemarine! (Today's storm count: 18)
accountmadeforants: @TheAwkes The way the "touch"screen worked was just rad in general, it was actually a bunch of IR cameras that let it recognize shapes touching the glass, so it didn't even need RFID tags to "see" miniatures
e_bloc: would you mind just playing this for like a year or two
iris_of_ether:
Shparky2197: We are good with job

you’re fighting dogs?
