Flyingdelorion: Hello! Let's chill with the points!
GapFiller: also also gonna assume in absence of evidence to contrary that costreaming the Game Awards is basically the same as a CheckPoint episode
GapFiller: (yesyes theyve prob filmed only it today and havent put it up yet shush)
TXC2:
wild to me that the VGA video is FOUR hours long 
mtvcdm: I wasn't even done watching the vod from last night I got like half an hour to go on it
TXC2: also I assume this stream is gonna be full on spoilers for the VGAs
TXC2: if you care about that
mtvcdm: Which... Graham just posted that SEVEN different entities claimed it for monetization
Juliamon: I think you got most of the relevant bits then
TXC2:
mtvcdm well I hope it's still up in the morning, I'd like to watch it
TXC2: TODAY!
Flyingdelorion: I am prepared!
TheMerricat: But... I'm friendless?!
hyalopterous: Beej still lookin weird
Invitare: Werner Herzog is my friend
Foxmar320: Beej looks different
TXC2: Beej is playing the roll of Graham today
TXC2: Hello Heather, Paul and Graham
mtvcdm: Beej got Grahamdropped
Flyingdelorion: Hello Heather, Paul and Graham!
hyalopterous: That's callled an entourage
GapFiller: Geoff is totally Miss Piggys trophy husbando
TXC2: oh more muppets at the VGAs? "Fun"
hyalopterous: Statler and Waldorf?
Jillexie:
Marley and Marley 
GapFiller: TXC2 Miss Piggy was better than Statler and Waldorf last year at least
mtvcdm: Next year I want Beaker
Juliamon: TXC2 Piggy and Rowlf this year
RockPusher: Animal still I think best vibe
TXC2: Juliamon ah neat
TXC2:
GapFiller would have been hard to be worse IMO
Juliamon: (mostly Miss Piggy though)
hyalopterous: Geoff just likes the Muppets
Flyingdelorion: Overall it was a good show IMO!
TheMerricat: Statler and Waldorf were funny but I can see how certain sensitive individuals would have thought it was targeting them instead of just making jokes.
mtvcdm: I did see them get one criticism addressed at least, one of the speeches they started the music, the second awardee said they wanted to say something too, and they stopped the music and let them speak.
accountmadeforants: Frankly it should just be Statler and Waldorf and Geoff doesn't get to see the script beforehand.
Neddy471: I like how Rowlf kept throwing shade on the game awards, by saying they would "always let you down."
GapFiller: Geoff also didnt mention Canada or his friendship w/ Hideo Kojima which stuck out like crazy
TheMerricat: @GapFiller And Hideo _was_ there and _didn't_ didn't come on stage!
LordZarano: Having the muppets acknowledge Felt That Boxing would be pretty cool
GapFiller: TheMerricat actually on that note Death Stranding was up for a bunch of stuff so maybe thats why Geoff personally namecheck Kojima
GapFiller: *didnt
Neddy471: The Muppets are peak TV, Cinema, and Theatre.
Foxmar320: Graham has escaped containment
TXC2: Christopher Judge
Laserbeaks_Fury: Christopher
calculated_uncertainties: Every gremlin walking in front of the camera is fun
TheMerricat: Christopher Judge, Stargate, INDEED
RockPusher: actively *stopping* playing when someone wanted to talk was good
TXC2: with AL PACHINO looking on
TXC2: still wild to me that happened
TehAmelie: hi!
RockPusher: Heather has done the incantations
TehAmelie: take the wheel, youtube
IslandersCaper:
RockPusher: Powerful Magic™
TheMerricat:
I woke up in a cold sweat, I didn't do my homework, then I realized the teacher didn't give us homework in time. 
GapFiller: imo SGF is better than VGA since it doesnt bother w/ the figleaf of being an award show but thats ofc a contestable point
EvilBadman: If you're watching dead, big oof ghostie
Alex_Frostfire: But you can't cast Time Walk off Dark Ritual...
Foxmar320: News happened
RubikDarkwill: So it's been a Coffee of Life day
Foxmar320: Yay!
Foxmar320: Wow 1.5
Foxmar320: I do recall the game fest trailer being wild
RockPusher: I've never codded a blop
TXC2:
CoD games haven't been grounded since 3
TehAmelie: imagine a system where user reviews could score games in several categories, like game mags used to
TXC2: TehAmelie or not have to use numbers at all
Foxmar320: Yeah that never goes well
RockPusher: [beejdrop intensifies]
Foxmar320: Sounds like Crunch
TehAmelie: it would take some strong algorithms to sort out the reviews where they just give max or min scores based on if they like the game
TXC2: I think regardless of what the game is, yearly releases are ALWAYS a bad idea
GapFiller: didnt Peter Molyneux say something similar just last week
TXC2: Hello Beej
Juliamon: oh, I blinked and G got Beejdropped
aquilonare: step 1- hire voice actors
Alex_Frostfire: Corpo-speak for... something, probably.
RockPusher: G yields his time to the representative from Beejlandia
TehAmelie: *music cue*
Foxmar320: @Juliamon Oh you missed the transformation? It took the entire tarp budget
accountmadeforants: Best interpretation of the "unprecedented content" thing is that they already had a bunch of things queued up and are just releasing them earlier. (And then they start the crunch *after* the holidays :)))) )
Firewhiskers: Look, overpromising is important to boost our stock this quarter. Whatever happens next quarter is someone else's problem.
spurius: thats it is why the sayin is under promise , over-deliver
Alex_Frostfire: Things have always been great. There have been no poor releases in Ba Sing Se.
TehAmelie: of all the games, somehow Alien 3 on SNES succeeded in having a shockingly large unexpected amount of content. the game seemed to be just one stage, that's what the walkthroughs covered, and then there was like six more
INCSlayer: 6 7
LordZarano: Not everyone can be a heat pump, delivering 300%+
TXC2:
and that's video game 6-7, so it's like 2 IRL
SomebodyNowhere: a 7 can be a very good niche game but thats not what big studios want
Firewhiskers: Congrats, Beej
TXC2: congrats Beej
SomebodyNowhere: good goin beej
RockPusher: Beej can now play Yakuza
Laserbeaks_Fury: SOmetimes you just gotta go to Taco Bell
RockPusher: Beej gonna relieve stress by hitting so many mans with bicycles
RockPusher: derailing chillpoint, as is tradition
TXC2: chillpoint has rails?
yonder_peasant: I’m in that same spot now, just finished a big game and have no clue what to play now, nothing really sparks joy at the moment
ArtDecoSunburn: Derail! Derail!
GapFiller: what yr saying Heather is your experience of Silksong was the Fleas while Beejs experience was the Slab
SomebodyNowhere: okay
Marvoleath: !findquote pee
LRRbot: Quote #4358: "Everyone in the Walking Dead looks like they smell like pee." —Cameron [2017-09-14]
TehAmelie: was this an Austin Powers defrost situation?
hyalopterous: Thanks for that beej
TheMerricat: You can _always_ pee faster if you have great medical.
SomebodyNowhere: !advice
LRRbot: Get on into that dungeon.
RockPusher: Beej needs one of those F1 refueling rigs
GapFiller: !badadvice
LRRbot: DO NOT push those buttons.
Firewhiskers: @TheMerricat Catheters help
TXC2: !addquote (Beej) [now] You can only pee so fast.
LRRbot: New quote #9499: "You can only pee so fast." —Beej [2025-12-12]
TXC2: more Sovereign wealth fund BS
50keyz: they can be coerced into it which sucks
hyalopterous: 93% of EA if it goes thru
mtvcdm: It's who's being made to go and who has the option to realistically skip but goes anyway, there's a distinction.
INCSlayer: "The Consortium"
hyalopterous: and Jared Kushner, SA's fixer
INCSlayer: which is LIterally a video game bad guy Faction in the Act of War series of RTS games
TheMerricat: To grease the wheels.
TXC2: that 0.5% is the palms being greased
TXC2: the BBC micro
RockPusher: good old microcomputer boom
Marvoleath: China is really massive market for gaming, but it mostly was contained to Asian markets before
LRRbot:

EvilBadman: (coughs) Wrestlemania 2027
TXC2:
it is a smart thing they're doing, they just should have been doing it like 40 years ago
GapFiller: see what yr did there Paul
TXC2:
given what the Saudi's have done to actual Mecca, you're not far off Paul
RockPusher: building soft power and cultural influence is at least not wholesale overt attacks on government
LurkerSpine: I mean, if they weren't committing the human rights violations, people would not be nearly as concerned
TXC2:
RockPusher it ain't chopping journalists in hotel rooms at least
50keyz: @LurkerSpine is the US record on human rights any better this year? are we going to boycott US devs?
hyalopterous: That's where pad thai comes from
Alex_Frostfire: Turns out cultural exchange works pretty well and straightforward.
TXC2: to reuse a phrase, the way to a countries heart (and money) is through it's stomuch
TXC2: *country's
LurkerSpine: @50keyz hey, I'm not here to get in this kind of talk, but the Saudi govt is directly funding these things. It is a different case than a company being from a country
TheMerricat: Murders journalists and blatant human trafficking are just a few of the things they are known for.
hyalopterous: Thai government ain't a whole lot better than the Saudis though
50keyz: @LurkerSpine i agree there is a difference; not wanting to get into it either just trying to say i think there are lots of poopy people
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @LurkerSpine one could argue that, by paying US taxes, these corporations are directly funding the actions of the US.
LurkerSpine: @hypergirlie_hyperpop okay I'm out
Flyingdelorion: @50keyz You are not wrong, but if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community you will be murdered! And as far a I know that is not going on in the USA!
50keyz: @LurkerSpine same. not time and place.
hyalopterous: @Flyingdelorion Not as much anyway
TheMerricat: At the end of the day chat, you should make sure you spend your money in a way that you are comfortable with. Support companies that support you. Support politics that support you. When you can, avoid those who don't.
TXC2: lets just agree it's bad alaround and move on
Marvoleath: Pinkertons any1?
hyalopterous: United fruit says what
Juliamon: Let's Move On
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Flyingdelorion data from 2017 to 2021, homicides where trans people were the victims doubled over that period, so idk about that. It may not be government-sactioned (yet), but uh.
RockPusher:
Chillpoint isn't going to solve global geopolitics‽ 
TheMerricat: Wasn't Paramount about to be bought itself?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Didn't they just sell Discovery
TXC2:
I swear Netflix was gonna buy WB like 10 years ago
TheMerricat: Or did it get bought? I keep forgettting.
RockPusher: It's going to be bought by whoever can afford the biggest bribe
Flyingdelorion: @hypergirlie_hyperpop Very sad to hear that, but as you stated: not by the government, which for me is an important point!
Marvoleath: The Son of Oracle™
TXC2: TheMerricat it was floated that Netflix was gonna buy Paramount, then the sonic movie of all things boosted paramount enough to make it to expensive
mtvcdm: Yeah and then it turns out there's no amount of people you can fire that will make that man stop being mad
TheMerricat: All I know is the CEO from Discovery SHOULD NOT own it.
hyalopterous: Paramount is worse
Marvoleath:
Netflix seem more likely to cancel things 
Firewhiskers: Is Mr. Ellison wanting to buy Warner Bros because they own CNN and CNN is criticizing the President?
Invitare: Paramount wants to Embrace WB. They're like some sort of group. THat embraces
ArdCollider: David Ellison is a real piece of work.
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @Flyingdelorion There's a case to be made that the US government kills lots of LGBT people through things like the AIDS crisis and inadequate healthcare more broadly, as well as other sociopolitical and cultural factors.
Juliamon: Flyingdelorion hypergirlie_hyperpop Repeating: MOVE ON.
EvilBadman: Paramount is probably the lesser of two evils this time
RockPusher: netflix probably do legit want the media library - Skydance wants the cable channels/news outlets
EvilBadman: Wait no, sorry Paramount's the greater
RockPusher: hence the exclude/include Discovery difference
GapFiller:
misheard Paul just then saying they ownded BC
50keyz: they OWN DC? i thought that was a licensing agreement. thats BIG for netflx if they get it
GapFiller: which was a totally dfft flavour of
TXC2: I have no doubts that Netflix would LOVE to own the HBO back catalogue
Mr_Horrible: it's one of those moments where you get a refresher on the buckwild web of corporate ownership/subsidiaries
TehAmelie: wait didn't Mad Magazine shut down?
TXC2: 50keyz WB did a full buyout in 99
INCSlayer: they own the entire Hanna-Barbera Back Catalog
Vinewood_OG: An oligarch owning Watchmen is a bit on the nose
50keyz: @TXC2 wow. that could be a lot of netflix content ; they are really the only kid/teen challenger to disney+ at least in our broader family experience.
KeytarCat:
aww, my WB default is the terfy wizard 
Laserbeaks_Fury: The Arkham Games alone
Flyingdelorion: @hypergirlie_hyperpop I see your point there! It is all very nuanced. But as Julia said, let's move on! Have a nice weekend!
TXC2: 50keyz WB owns the Cartoon network, so LOADS of kid forward media yeah
INCSlayer: @TXC2 yea the Kids Content Back Catalog that is contained within WB is MASSIVE
RockPusher: TXC2 is CN on the Discovery side or the WB side - I think the Discovery side?
50keyz: wow. as a parent its a hard lock for us.
Mr_Horrible: didn't Netflix just massively slash their games division, though?
Juliamon: CN has always been on the Warner side
TXC2: RockPusher ah, I'm not sure about, could be a big wrinkle then
wedge_x: yeah CN is Warner
TXC2: Mr_Horrible if they're buying WB and their games div, that's probably why netflix did the downsizing
RockPusher: 'cause that was the surprising thing about the Netflix deal - it didn't include the Discovery side which is a fair chunk of media
TheMerricat: "History: Cartoon Network was part of Turner Broadcasting, which was acquired by Time Warner, then WarnerMedia, and finally merged with Discovery in 2022 to become Warner Bros. Discovery. "
Juliamon: they relied heavily on the Hanna-Barbera content for awhile
RockPusher: TheMerricat okay, so it came in through that side, good to know
TehAmelie: archivists will have work for years and years
INCSlayer: the Parent Company for "The Cartoon Network, Inc." is listed as "Warner Bros. Discovery Global Linear Networks " on wikipedia
Laserbeaks_Fury: It would be funny if they end up paying themselves royalties on stuff they didn't realize they now own
ArdCollider: would love a new Triple Town

LordZarano: The itchio bundle for Racial Justice and Equality (which was the 1st one) was 1741 items, 1110 of which were video games
hyalopterous: Yeah, That's what happened with Roosterteeth
heatherperson: Argh I miss old school DoubleFine
gnyrinn: Not just "can we market that", more like "can we market that for next quarter? if not, sell it"
Laserbeaks_Fury: Number go up
TXC2: Capitalism is all about monopolies
hyalopterous: They're friggin skazerrai
TXC2: big part of why it's inherently bad
RockPusher: it's almost as if the lessons from the past are being deliberately ignored to line the pockets of the oligarchs
lamina5432: the infinite growth corpo wants.
heatherperson: Not only does line have to go up, it has to go up MORE than last year, more than ever before
hypergirlie_hyperpop: the mercantile class really thought, "what if we could make fuedalism, but WE'RE the kings?" and they just keep getting away with it
RockPusher:

@ArdCollider Thanks for the gift sub! 
ArdCollider:
of course!
TheMerricat:
Does LRR actually have a comprehensive understanding of all the content they've created?
Firewhiskers: @RockPusher Pretty sure that was Oliver Stone by way of Gordon Gecko.
wedge_x: @TheMerricat oh god no LMAO
lamina5432: most I would say
TXC2:
TheMerricat of course not, that's what the wiki editors are for 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Somehow, LRR owns the Geico Cavemen IP
mtvcdm: You can outsource your stress, but you get a different kind of stress instead
Foxmar320: @TheMerricat Graham has it written down somewhere. Maybe in an old coffee cup
TheMerricat:
Mr_Horrible: a friend of mine that worked at HBS told me that was basically exactly what happened with their acquisition by Paradox, effectively a "Oh now the money to actually pay all these people I want to keep employing *exists*"
RockPusher:
Foxmar320 TheMerricat all documented on that huge stack of mini-DV tapes they will go through one day
TheMerricat: Double Stuff Ads!
TXC2: BEEJ NO!
Alex_Frostfire: Wait, who's paying them for the ads?
TXC2:
don't speak it in to the universe
lamina5432: not anymore this January
Firewhiskers: Do we know who owns the Unskippable episodes that Yahtzee was in?
TXC2: Firewhiskers LRR does? they own all of them now don;t they?
erloas: what if ads make you feel young again, all of us 40 years olds grew up with ads as built in part of our cartoons
KeytarCat: Oh, I forgot my homework
Foxmar320: Everyone remembers when the Titans attacked Fedual Japan
hyalopterous: Still mad Attack on Titan isn't about Saturn's moon
Firewhiskers: @TXC2 I was attempting to make a funny. Apologies if it did not come across.
Alex_Frostfire: They are inspired by true events.
Marvoleath: The tie-ins in AC Shadows are such a weird thing, there was a sidequest for a Balatro charm
TXC2:
Firewhiskers oh
TheMerricat: You are saying Aliens aren't behind most of the history of the world?!?!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Abstergo would absolutely make an AoT game
TXC2:
TheMerricat depends on your definition of "alien"
Foxmar320: I have not played this crossover and don't plan on it. lol
TheDevil_Risen:
Hai LRR crew and chat 
TXC2: hello TheDevil_Risen welcome
heatherperson: Attack on Titan skippable?! Beej how dare you
TheMerricat: So I didn't get a chance to enjoy AoT till it was over and then found out the ending implied the entire show was a creed on anti-semitism so....
GapFiller: istr doesnt Attack On Titan get oddly fash towards the end
lamina5432: some are goofy. but I am of the ilk that attack on titan is overrated
RockPusher: Asstack on Titanscreed
Juliamon: yeah AoT is extremely nationalist
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @GapFiller it's fascist propaganda the whole time, anime watchers just don't get subtext
TXC2:
GapFiller I'd say it's fash the whole way through
TheDevil_Risen: Verb that Noun!
heatherperson: Won't have been not happened
hyalopterous: Douglas Adams had a bit about this
lamina5432: covering it
TXC2:
also I was told it was the "gateway drug" for anime, and it so wasn't
couchboyj: Wibbly wobbly checky pointy
CeridwenCoeur: Will have not covered
Firewhiskers: @TheDevil_Risen Anti-gerund!
Marvoleath:
And that's why Spanish has 17 times
gnyrinn: Douglas Adams was right. The most difficult thing about time travel is grammar.
TheDevil_Risen:
@Firewhiskers
hyalopterous: E33 made out like a bandit, everybody else lucky to get 1
TheMerricat: BTW chat, how many people in chat guessed correctly what the statue was going to be about. And how many thought that trailer for the game was rather batshit insane?
LordZarano: Future perfect tense? Is that what that is?
lamina5432: Leon
TXC2: "MR KENEDY!"
TehAmelie: what was the statue deal? did i miss some homework?
GapFiller: TheMerricat the orgy being one of the less outta pocket moments of that trailer speaks volumes
KeytarCat: @LordZarano yet to happen and complete, yeah that sounds right
TheMerricat: @TehAmelie Larion's new Divinity game.
Foxmar320: Leaks have been out for months that he was in the game and then Sony store confirmed it
terribleplan: will not have been, yeah
TheDevil_Risen: Hai Leon!
Foxmar320: He has three outfits
lamina5432: that divinity trailer was pretty grotesque
BusTed: Ethan
Mr_Horrible: daughter of the protag of 7 and 8
Mr_Horrible: has some mold powers
Foxmar320: Rose Winters from RE8
Mr_Horrible: you play as her in the DLC for 8
TheDevil_Risen: old Resi is the best Resi IMHO
50keyz: oof thats pretty funny
Laserbeaks_Fury: Merrigold Summer
Firewhiskers: Which Capcom marketer lost their bonus over that?
TheMerricat: I lost track is this the one whose intro trailer implied her mom died and she herself was working for the government or was that a different female Resitent Evil protag?
Foxmar320: Rose was not even in the RE9 trailer from last night. Still not shown yet.
heatherperson: Nebulous outline with a cute hat
Firewhiskers: Rose would make more sense as a villain in RE9
maybe_games: was rose the baby in jars from vill?
Foxmar320: Yes Rose was the baby
Firewhiskers: @maybe_games Yes
TheDevil_Risen:
Gamestop, notoriously good at keeping secrets
GapFiller: personally the only RE news anyone really needs to know is that Maggie Robertson is basically Capcoms spokesperson now
LordZarano:
@KeytarCat Yay the Time Splitters tense was correct! 
GapFiller: for RE specifically obv but also apparently for Capcoms other stuff to a lesser extent
TheMerricat: Capcom is Megman!
TXC2: I agree with Beej
heatherperson: TRUE! Same. Capcom makes arcade games
Firewhiskers: Street Faitah
Alex_Frostfire: Monster Hunter, Street Fighter...
Strebenherz: monster hunter?
Foxmar320: Capcom makes a lot
hyalopterous: Streetfighter?
TheDevil_Risen: Street Fighter
TheMerricat: Chat, which one is the gatcha/slot machine game maker now? Konami or Capcom?
TXC2: one assumes that, because they make Silent Hill, Konami also makes Resident evil
Foxmar320: Konami
GapFiller: speaking of Street Fighter having missed Fight Club did Adam ect have any neu thoughts on Cody and Roman as Guile and Gouki in the movie
Foxmar320: Yeah it took them a year to bring it here and it was not good
Mathwyn: Been enjoying Sonic Rumble a lot
TheMerricat: I wonder if Fall Guys is still a thing. I haven't seen it being played in forever.
heatherperson: The number of times I have said "It's Sonic's 30th anniversary!" or a variation in real life is >100
TheDevil_Risen:
@RockPusher that is a cursed sonic face there RP
GapFiller: is this the game that got ditched for just being THAT rubbish
heatherperson: It's this tuna casserole'
Juliamon:
heatherperson: s 30th anniversary etc.
Foxmar320: Yeah for good reasons
TheMerricat: We've always been at war with Eurasia
mtvcdm: Sonic Racing has been on the schedule for the last eighteen years
Foxmar320: $70 skins
DarktanUK: we have always been at war with sonic racing
TheDevil_Risen: @Foxmar320 Bus that
mtvcdm: $70 *pay to win* skins
GapFiller: yikes
LordZarano: @TheMerricat 632 viewers on 90 broadcasters on Twitch right now
Juliamon: For those who don't remember, this is the game whose devs promised "no p2w" because it's "not popular in the West"
couchboyj: Doesn't horse armor seem quaint now?
TheDevil_Risen: @Foxmar320 at least in WarThunder when you pay that you get a mechanically unique tank/boat/aircraft that has benifits
TXC2:
if a skin cost $70, it better real, actual skin to cover my 3rd degree burns
TheMerricat:
@LordZarano Looks like it just left the sphere of influence I live in then.
terribleplan: We threw all monetization options at the wall, scrambled them up, and put them in the store
Foxmar320: Full cost of a game for a skin
mtvcdm: This is a macrotransaction
Marvoleath: Silksong costs less than that
Mathwyn: Skins etc do not affect actual gameplay, there was some misunderstanding there. You can buy new skills for your characters though
heatherperson: Macrotransaction
gnyrinn: $70 skins? 70 Non-Zimbabwean Dollars for *a* skin?
Juliamon: It affects your rankings
munocard: How many Swedish kroner?
Vinewood_OG:
Aren't all skins cosmetic?
GapFiller:
Marvoleath no doubt theres suits somewhere who genuinely think a Sonic skin is worth more than Silksong 
electric_claire: I will pay 70 Hungarian Forint for a skin.
Juliamon: Silksong is underpriced
heatherperson: Absolutely... Silksong should cost more
accountmadeforants: Silksong and Hollow Knight should both be at least twice what they were going for
Mr_Horrible: Silksong was also subsidized by the success of Hollow Knight
Mathwyn: Skins often come with a skill. Yes. Everything affects score which affects battle passes and the "rumble rankings" but doesn' affect actual match results
mtvcdm: For $70 you could go on a full-bore indie game shopping spree
50keyz: people make the same argument about stardew
Mathwyn: Skins are a way too damn expensive though
Peevvi: Guybrush Threepwood says never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game
accountmadeforants: @Mr_Horrible And that's despite Hollow Knight also being stupid cheap for what it actually is!
munocard: progression, but not an in-game edge
Foxmar320: Battle pass faster
Laserbeaks_Fury: so like a Stud Multiplier
accountmadeforants: These gacha games in general seem to just not want "micro"-transactions anymore, they want you to spend half your salary or they don't want your money at all.
Mr_Horrible: @accountmadeforants also true!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yes
TheDevil_Risen: hahahah
Foxmar320: I do Beej
GapFiller: unfortunately
Coloneljesus: we are talking about IRL right?
terribleplan: Buy the gamer Mountain Dew
Foxmar320: They all do it
50keyz: doritos
Mr_Horrible: Mountain Dew does a ton of that, yeah
TXC2: or hot pockets for MtG cards
GapFiller: gimme the crab juice
TheDevil_Risen: 99999999 gatcha
Mathwyn: I've been enjoying rumble, but its largely despite all the microtransactions. The music is so good
Foxmar320: It was true
NonchalantAvenger: it was TRUE
KeytarCat: Redbull gives you P-Wings
TheDevil_Risen: yes hot pockets with MTG was 100% real
accountmadeforants: Were the cards inside the Hot Pockets? I hope they were
munocard: There was a Liliana of the Veil hotpocket, yes.
Juliamon: G did the whole "how to exploit this" thing
dmack161 subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 8 months, currently on a 1 month streak!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, dmack161! (Today's storm count: 21)
Vinewood_OG: Beej might be crazy, but I remember the Pepsi points guy trying to redeem a Harrier
Mathwyn: Crossworlds is fantastic
Foxmar320: Crossworlds is great
Laserbeaks_Fury: LEGO just dropped a new party game, too
TXC2: accountmadeforants nope, you could redeem for arena awards I think
Foxmar320: Excellent music
Alex_Frostfire: I've been considering picking it up, but I can't justify it before Christmas.
GapFiller: mmm Divinity
accountmadeforants: @TXC2 Aw, that's boring. Were the hotpockets wrapped in boosterpack foil, at least?
Diabore: i saw people calling divinity as early as last week
Juliamon: Larian offered a suspiciously specific response
Neddy471: Is anyone switching between this in the background and an incredibly serious job that makes this feel surreal?
KaleidoscopeMind: or several
TXC2:
accountmadeforants probably not
NonchalantAvenger: GORE
GapFiller:
yuuup
INCSlayer: yea that trailer was GORY
BusTed: that was graphic
Marvoleath: It was carnal
Foxmar320: For real it was gorey
munocard: Yeah, that trailer showed a man being set on fire and then other awful things.
LordZarano: @Peevvi 48 bucks and 66 cents with inflation, according to the first website I found. Also "Guybrush Threepwood inflation" was definitely a risky search
Laserbeaks_Fury: some sex too
Peevvi: the version I saw on youtube did say for adults only
accountmadeforants: That was a lot yeah
Diabore: also the orgy shot
terribleplan: And banging
TheDevil_Risen:
Divinity was Brutal 
TheMerricat: Beastiality depending on how you read the orgy.
lamina5432: the pigs eating puke
Vinewood_OG: Delirected by Cen O. Bite
Alex_Frostfire: I looked away.
Wolfstrike_NL: Burning alive of someone
Ms_LadyMix: That sucked for me
GapFiller: once again it speaks volumes the orgy was one oif the more tasteful bits of that trailer
TheDevil_Risen: yep and the full nudity orgy
Ms_LadyMix: A child watching it all
TehAmelie: like in the first shot, a guy gustily throws up and pigs start eating it. that stuck in my mind
ArdCollider: a fair bit of LRR chat was having US dinnertime during that one
INCSlayer: yea there was a few orgy shots in the middle of the carnage
goatprince: what are you talking about. skin eating is a daily occurrence. it's normal
Vinewood_OG: Agressive liking
terribleplan: The orgy shot was _suring_ the violence
terribleplan: *during
dm818: there was an orgy and people flagellating themselves in the same shot
wedge_x: LOL
Mathwyn:
Bruceski: I remember that
NonchalantAvenger: wat
GapFiller:
RockPusher:
munocard: A churrascaria?
ArdCollider: Beej.
Snowcookies: lol
wedge_x: The Orgy Pot
electric_claire: I THOUGHT THAT TOOO
50keyz: omg beej
Vinewood_OG: Swords to Appshares
INCSlayer: to be fair to Beej i had the same though when i was a kid
Ms_LadyMix: Yeah bread's great
aquilonare: honestly, i'd go to more in that case
RockPusher:
hot cheese seems like a bad idea at an orgy
TXC2: I mean.....that's not a BAD idea at an orgy....
ArdCollider: !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!)
NonchalantAvenger: i immagine beej coming to his mother saying "i want an orgy"
KeytarCat: Yeah, I *like* porn! I don't like gore
munocard: I'm gonna insist on sword meat at my next orgy now.
heatherperson: Charcutorgy board
Neddy471: Vomitorium is a MYTH!
NonchalantAvenger: kid-beej
Firewhiskers: Depends on whether people are expected to get dinner before the event
TheMerricat: Vomitoriums actually weren't about voimiting, they were the exits.
goatprince: myth.
Neddy471: It just means a place "where people come out"
wedge_x: @munocard *muno*
ArtDecoSunburn: Beej's orgy of cheese is a different sort of sticky.
TheDevil_Risen: @RockPusher depends on what you're into
TXC2:
vomitorium just means exit
GapFiller: tbf those kinda orgies tend to be put on by the 1% who can afford decent catering
Vinewood_OG: I show up to one orgy with a bread sword, and no I have to move. Again.
ArdCollider: @munocard muno liu but I ejected Trader Joe's Gobbler onto my laptop
aquilonare: nsfw crapshot. beej is at an orgy but just there for the food
Bruceski: This way to the egress
munocard: @wedge_x Yes, Wedge?
TXC2: right chat I'm off
NonchalantAvenger: Todd
TheDevil_Risen: night @TXC2
TheDevil_Risen:
Firewhiskers: Bye @TXC2
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon What was the response?
gnyrinn: That's the classical sense. A proper Roman orgy was just a good party. The symposium, however, was real kinky. Also: vomitoria weren't a thing.
TXC2: goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather, Paul and Beej
Foxmar320: Skyrim again I think
wedge_x: @munocard you know what you did
INCSlayer: Skyrim for Switch 2
TheDevil_Risen: E33 shadow drop DLC
SymphonySolstice: todd is at it again
Vinewood_OG: Shadow dropped our expectations
GapFiller:
nite TXC2
Juliamon: accountmadeforants "It's not Divinity 3"
accountmadeforants: Set the "days since last Skyrim release" back to 0
RockPusher: ah, yes, time for our annual release of Skyrim
Vinewood_OG: "Buy it a 4th time!"
accountmadeforants:
@Juliamon Ah, that kind of specificity
TheMerricat:
And believe me, the _existing_ Skyrim communities were livid this wasn't about Elder Scrolls 6 and was YET ANOTHER Skyrim release.
INCSlayer: everytime you say it you have to add atleast one more edition
Invitare: big Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan energy
accountmadeforants:
Seems about right for Skyrim, though 
RockPusher: Skyrim fatigue setting in?
Foxmar320: Gross
munocard: Skyrim is NOT meant for Switch or Switch 2.
Vinewood_OG: That is priceless
RockPusher:
Couterpoint: no, they're right
INCSlayer: and it weighs in at the low low weight of 53GB
Laserbeaks_Fury: they literally did the "I want a second opinion" joke
TheDevil_Risen: reverse Pokemon
TheDevil_Risen:
accountmadeforants: That's such a good bit, though. "Oh, this review seems a bit harsh, so we had someone else check, and no it was appropriately harsh"
munocard: Bethesda won't stop until you can play Skyrim on your fridge.
accountmadeforants: @munocard I'm sure you already can if it's on GeForce Now. There are fridges running full-on Android
Peevvi: 50 gigs of skyrim is too many gigs
Laserbeaks_Fury: The same thing happened with the Return to Arkham remasters
accountmadeforants: (Or Xbox Cloud Gaming, I forgot that exists, too)
Firewhiskers: @Peevvi I seem to remember Skyrim coming out on one (1) DVD.
RockPusher: Beej noted friend of the fisherman
accountmadeforants: Yeah but surely *someone* tested the release version?
Foxmar320: Did they ever fix Fallout 4? I know they broke it with the HD update
Vinewood_OG: Then the Fallout 76 big updatr nuked the servers for a couple days. Hang it up, Todd.
TheMerricat:
@Peevvi My current modded install of skyrim is 300 gig. 
accountmadeforants: Todd, please, people liked the Hi-Fi Rush shadowdrop because Hi-FI Rush was a really, really good game that also wouldn't have benefited from traditional marketing.
TheAinMAP: Too late for that.
Laserbeaks_Fury: at this point, 6 is just going to be Skyrim 2
Invitare: they have told us they're making 6. Years ago. And that's all we've heard since
TheDevil_Risen: everyone start your buckets!
Juliamon: What was it, 9 years ago?
Foxmar320: Other way around
Invitare: I think it was Starfield > Elder Scrolls > Fallout
Foxmar320: It's ES6 then Fallout 5
accountmadeforants: Oh, so that's why the Switch 2 version is the way that it is. They're trying to let people experience the real thing.
TheMerricat: ESO is the MMO.
maybe_games: they made an mmo instead of 6 all this time
mtvcdm: One purpose of a shadowdrop right *now* is just to tell you something actually made it to release and you don't have to worry about it getting cancelled midproduction
Juliamon: My sister's group has mostly moved *from* ESO to FO76 at this point
Laserbeaks_Fury: Shadowdrop sounds like a character in a paradoy of BG3
Vinewood_OG: It's not No Man's Sky, but 76 is A LOT better than launch.
Phailhammer:
I'm looking forward to playing Fallout 5 after putting my potential children to bed.
heatherperson: It's okay to play cop games, but not be a cop
GapFiller:
!?
INCSlayer: Tacticool Pupper
Laserbeaks_Fury: Dogmeat prequel
ContingentCat: but can you make it tactic-cool
heatherperson: Tactical horse armor
Vinewood_OG: RIP River
Laserbeaks_Fury: Can you bathe the dog?
Juliamon: Companion Cube vs Escort Quest
maybe_games: do they simulate retirement abandonment?
RockPusher:
We tolerate Dogmeat because he is cute, not because he is smart
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Rooker, ratch!"
Strebenherz: @RockPusher THIS
ContingentCat: hey listen!
Vinewood_OG: Wark wark
KeytarCat: "Gamers love partners who don't require anything from them"
Foxmar320: Ive not heard anything good about Metroid Prime 4 yet
KeytarCat:
I actually like them
Invitare: my parents older dog definitely tries to lead you places. Specifically the kitchen. Specifically the fridge
KeytarCat: I really like Prime 4
Foxmar320: Ive not played it yet
KeytarCat: it's very not like the other prime games
Strebenherz: would?
hypergirlie_hyperpop: make every video game into puppyplay, sign this petition
TheDevil_Risen: mmm furry x dom
INCSlayer: a friend of mine has just finished metroid prime 4 and that character is apparently in it far longer than you expect and recommended that you just turn the dialog volume to zero
Foxmar320: Id play that mod
wedge_x: no no, let her cook
Vinewood_OG: Which segments, Beej?
50keyz: omg i love this show
Strebenherz: Co-op play idea!
RockPusher:
aquilonare: resisting the urge to say i'd apply for that position
TheDevil_Risen:
whoops
Strebenherz:
@aquilonare then i'll say it, i'll apply for that position
wedge_x: Heather absolutely can
Laserbeaks_Fury: Awwwuwuoooo
Juliamon: awoo
gnyrinn: His breed? Can we get a police-poodle?
TheDevil_Risen: awooo
GapFiller: Heather the Silksong Fleas are not dogs!
INCSlayer: Hey Listen
goatprince: beej was in no way forced to recognize the pupplay aspect of this discussion
Vinewood_OG: 10TB of "Fan Art"
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @goatprince wasn't he, though? is it not his nature? is it not his RIGHT?
INCSlayer: Tatl
GapFiller: yeh and Tatl is surly af
GapFiller: its great
INCSlayer: you get Tatl her brother Tail stays with skull kid
RockPusher: !y
LRRbot: HONK!
Invitare: no, Groose was in Skyward Sword
Laserbeaks_Fury: @omb Raider
Laserbeaks_Fury: 2omb
SymphonySolstice: 2mb raider
50keyz: tomb raider 2 - 2 tomb 2 raid
TheDevil_Risen: re-re-boot
Foxmar320: Tomb Raider Catalyst Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis
INCSlayer: Legacy of Atlantis is the remake and Catalyst is the new one
Flyingdelorion: Remake?
INCSlayer: remake/reimagination
Foxmar320: Yeah tank controls
TheDevil_Risen: oh lord. now im just imagining Lara C as a Tank Waifu
Foxmar320: Lots of PS1 games had tank controls
INCSlayer: Grim Fandango used Tank Controls as well
GapFiller: there was a period in the late nineties when people were infact tanks
KeytarCat: OG Metroid Prime
CaptainSpam: Manna Calavera was tank-controlled originally...
CaptainSpam: Manny
Vinewood_OG: Horner got a Plex?
LilyOfTheVeil666: Girls und Panzer
RockPusher: girls WITH tanks
hyalopterous: there's like 3 of boats
INCSlayer: @CaptainSpam Manny to his friend Manuel to his Enemies
RockPusher: as opposed to girls who are tanks
TheMerricat: Future alt history.
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!)
RockPusher: because… anime
INCSlayer: @Vinewood_OG of course Horner has a Plex
RockPusher: Tank Girl is a fun movie
Juliamon: Tank Girl WAS fun.
TheMerricat: Was that Cyndi lauper?
GapFiller: we shd perhaps be glad nobody followed Hetalias lead of cute girls as countries
heatherperson: Wow spoilers lol
TehAmelie: the comic is great btw
Juliamon: Also had a bangin soundtrack
hyalopterous: Or Tina Turner
Vinewood_OG:
Late 90s did have a format
Foxmar320: Resident Evil had them
INCSlayer: Tank Girl was portrayed by Lori Petty
Foxmar320: Yep
GapFiller: it feels the thing to remember in hindsight is all this stuff happend in the mid to late nineties cz they were busy figuring out how to do 3D movement
GapFiller: camerawork in particular
KeytarCat: Leon is babygirl
Foxmar320: Modders are great
SymphonySolstice: it's a swiich
Foxmar320: Play MK8 on it to really mess with people
RockPusher: Speaking of Steamdeck - any thoughts on Valve looking to bring SteamOS to ARM CPUs?
gnyrinn: Wait, he's using Nintendo hardware in a way that Nintendo didn't think of, so he's a few hours away from some kind of lawsuit.
Foxmar320: @gnyrinn Nintendo lawyers are already being deployed as we speak
RockPusher: 5° isn't much in the grand scheme of things
TheDevil_Risen: one standard boost bin
aquilonare: if your doctor says "you work fine, you're just 5 degrees hotter for some reason" get a new doctor
LordZarano: And they can use a homebrew app called "vanilla" to use it as a WiiU gamepad!
INCSlayer: The new Steam VR Headset uses ARM
lamina5432: windows needs the competition
terribleplan: Proton, the fork of wine
RockPusher: This is running Proton on FEX - they confirmed they are supporting the FEX project
TheDevil_Risen: going Postal?
wedge_x: it's 2024, &c
INCSlayer: is Postal even controversal anymore?
wedge_x: err 2025
Vinewood_OG: Wowwwww
RockPusher: terribleplan less a fork than a downstream distro with additions - they upstream most of the changes to WINE itself
mtvcdm: oh i'm sorry
TheDevil_Risen: awww poor Heather
mtvcdm: Also the time that the word 'disgruntled' entered the lexicon
TheDevil_Risen:
kick some mailboxes
Julian_Rogue: That's actually from an event of a disgruntled postal worker here in edmond oklahoma. he shot up quite a few people iirc
ContingentCat: huh I never knew that's where that's from
RockPusher: there were a couple notable back-to-back incidents involving postal workers
RockPusher: this was back before you would hear about bad stuff happenning constantly
Marvoleath: It's what media thing GTA looks like (or at least used to be)
Marvoleath: think*
CaptainSpam: I think the original Postal/Postal 2 were mostly 2D shooter games, and Postal 3 became an open-world game?
RockPusher: you could piss gasoline
Marvoleath: @CaptainSpam Postal 2 was already 3d, but with loading zones
terribleplan: @RockPusher it's semantics, but that sounds like a fork to me. Not a "hard" fork or one with bad feelings, but having a patch set that will not be upstreamed is very much a fork in my book
TheDevil_Risen: umm
Foxmar320: I played Postal 2, it was a thing
hypergirlie_hyperpop: oh no
TheDevil_Risen: Goonswarm?
INCSlayer: umm
goatprince: huh
lamina5432: from eve
gnyrinn: You said it Beej. It's a joke that holds up a 50 second sketch, but not a 90 minute movie.
GapFiller: for xtra bonus points its not even a LRR official ul
EvilBadman: that's the EVE Company, I think? among other things
goatprince: or something else nowaday
mtvcdm: Oh right I remember what I put into the tip line now
Foxmar320: Butt has been called
TehAmelie: they made it official with the SA Eve Online corporation
Foxmar320: Yeah that sounds like RWS
50keyz:
50keyz: oh wow
Foxmar320: wow
GapFiller: nice
mtvcdm: oh dear
50keyz: not cool
Kazman20a: I see they also RWS metaphoricaly as well
Laserbeaks_Fury: You can just have a period after that statement
Mathwyn: As a current Somethings awful reader, this seems like ex-goons at best. Probably kicked off for a reason I'd guess!
Foxmar320: LOL
Strebenherz: "trust"
wedge_x: whaaat
ArdCollider: LOL
wedge_x: nooo
INCSlayer: rofl
Aceviru:
Laserbeaks_Fury: This was written by ChatGPT
mtvcdm: 'so yeah that guy we called the R-word was right'
ArdCollider: @Mathwyn my guess is guys from the EVE corp got some pocket change together.
50keyz:
Strebenherz: YOU WERE SO CLOSE
Foxmar320: Wow they must have gotten whiplash from the post
Aceviru: In the heat of the moment. GJ
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked."
lamina5432: death threats are always to much
Vinewood_OG: Pissing off Postal fans. Solid plan.
Foxmar320: shocked pikachu
mtvcdm: I'm sorry, "mistakenly"?
Aceviru:
50keyz: omg. this is absurd
lamina5432: that clarification that was even more clearly AI
INCSlayer: Ohh No... Anyways
Strebenherz: and nothing of value was lost!
50keyz: nice to have a happy ending at least
mtvcdm: So, everyone in this story is awful
Foxmar320: I kinda want to see the trailer myself to see if it looks AI
Aceviru: LMAO
Strebenherz: IT CONTINUES?!
INCSlayer: its not done yet?
Juliamon:
Foxmar320: oh it keeps going?
SymphonySolstice: it keeps going.....
mtvcdm: None of the awful people in this story got anything they wanted, which oh no we're still going
Laserbeaks_Fury: Oh no, I was joking, but it really is that Holy Grail bit
Strebenherz:
PLZ
SymphonySolstice: god
wedge_x: oh, no, wait, this is the ARG

TheDevil_Risen: hahahaha
hypergirlie_hyperpop: @ArdCollider "we're just widdle guysssss"
Marvoleath: But only appears to, we'll not confirm it does
Juliamon: "ok so it was, but we're totally not at fault"
mtvcdm: Beej is about to walk straight out a window just for the sake of fresh air
ArdCollider: you wouldn't kill-fee a little goon guy on his birthday, would you
Vinewood_OG: Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays
Strebenherz: wow
Strebenherz: just wow
50keyz:

mtvcdm: You can have an emotional response and then not hit send
Strebenherz:
@Foxmar320
50keyz: lol foxmar
KeytarCat: Another easy trick is to not use slurs!
mtvcdm: This all seems like the correct way for the Postal franchise to die forever really
CaptainSpam: @Foxmar320 In fairness, hands are hard to draw... LuL
Wolfstrike_NL: Like in some mtg cards even
50keyz: there is also a lot of organically grown mediocrity out there
Vinewood_OG:
That bandolier enthusiast can't catch a break on this channel
Foxmar320: @CaptainSpam Facts
Mr_Horrible: oh yeah, I think I heard about this one
50keyz: @Vinewood_OG it hard to catch things with those tiny hands
ContingentCat: oh god
SymphonySolstice: hm
hypergirlie_hyperpop: oh noooooo
mtvcdm: oh woooooow
Foxmar320:
Mr_Horrible: when you're going to that much trouble, you might as well just learn how to do the art!
KeytarCat: See also: rotoscope
CaptainSpam: Tracing models was not uncommon in comics back in the day...
ContingentCat: you want to learn from something good not trash
Aceviru: People suck. That's why we gotta support the MVPs who bust their butts off to improve and earn an honest living
Sarah_Serinde: tracing references is one thing. Tracing someone else's art to claim it as a finished product you came up with as your own, especially if you're selling it, is another thing
ContingentCat: yeahhh as practice for yourself is one thing, once you're trying to make a reputation or money off it is another matter
TehAmelie: the comparison i prefer is Mad Libs books
Foxmar320: Ive seen marble runs. Can be a lot of fun
goatprince: uh oh. what's wrong with the marbles
electric_claire: Tracing references is pretty common and if you understand how to abstract things and "partially trace" that's pretty typical IMO.
ContingentCat: oh no what happened to the marbles guy? I used to love those

CaptainSpam: Oh dear.
ContingentCat: oh noooo
Foxmar320: oh no
mtvcdm: Jelle no
CaptainSpam: Jelle pls
Mai_Andra: something about "checking all the boxes"
Aceviru: Time for an apology video
ContingentCat: thankfully marble races aren't a copyrightable idea, I've seen someone else doing the simple marble races like he started with
Aarek: Marbles on Stream is already a pretty well received marble game
Aceviru: Ree painted ones go faster
Aceviru: Red*
hypergirlie_hyperpop: blue marble team is a glue factory, im ruined
Firewhiskers: We need the Gran Tourismo of Marble games where every marble has its own physics
LordZarano: It's, mathematically, chaos
TheDevil_Risen: Marble Gatcha, please kill me
ContingentCat: I like when it's not complicated and everything and you just pick one at the starting line
Laserbeaks_Fury: DO you think there's a OoT Blue Dog marble?
mtvcdm: There have been marbles that have run out onto the field and get tackled by security
DarktanUK: @mtvcdm streaker marbles?
