  LRRbot: Quote #8600: "Sad thopter noises." —Cameron [2023-07-21]
   LoadingReadyRun:  going to be 5-10 minutes as we  finish up some prep for the stream.
 OldUncleDan: Good!  Time to do my homework for Chillpoint!
 TheMerricat: Odd note of the times chat, I don't know how many people saw the news that the Oscars will be going to Youtube over ABC in 2029, but as I was logging in to catch the Long Game... Twitch's front page was showing me the channel "Prime Video" streaming the current NFL game....
   LoadingReadyRun: I like to think those two quotes are in response to each other: "Welcome to the world of having a butt!"  "Sad thopter noises."
 Cptasparagus: I was waiting for stream to start and twitch made me start watching Wheeler. What a travesty 
 adept_nekomancer: Please do not give the thopters butts.  
 Cptasparagus: @adept_nekomancer what if they looked like dragonfly eyes
 adept_nekomancer: @Cptasparagus This implies that someone, somewhere would have the job title "Thopter Butt Engineer"
 Dog_of_Myth: Somewhere there is an Izzet scientist working on that
 QuixoticScrivener: ooh, a new idea for a Thopter project
 Cptasparagus: @adept_nekomancer *equips thopter with [[slagwurm armor]]*

  Juliamon: 
 hyralt:   
 adept_nekomancer: @Cptasparagus [happy Assault Formation noises]
 kusinohki: meows
 kusinohki: I just now learned there was a kickstarter for a magi-nation expansion, the first in 20 years.  I find this mind boggling.  anyway, back to star wars...

 Vinewood_OG: Accurate 
 terribleplan: https://i.imgur.com/UrmeU3F.png
 TheAinMAP: There's a B-wing on the board.
Mai_Andra: The year is 2025 ACE.
 Vinewood_OG: Aaaaaa
 hyralt: @terribleplan Looks like a 747 getting mounted by a flying saucer
 kusinohki: Bee-wing, named Hornet funny enough

Ace__of__Hearts: hey Cam according to an AI overview of LRR you were born in 1961 and you passed away in 2021 at the age of 59
 hyralt: Ah yes, the gentleman's bullseye
 CaptainSpam: @Ace__of__Hearts He was a good dog.
 wedge_x: the pickle, if you will
johnnylongtorso: @Ace__of__Hearts in the arms of the angels...
 kusinohki: well, if you hit a ladies bullseye area.... yeah, I'm not finishing that joke...
 kusinohki: I'm sorry, is that a tie defender starting in play??
johnnylongtorso: no, that's *two* TIE Defenders starting in play
 kusinohki: oh, I see the 2nd one now...

 adept_nekomancer: The Imperial Geology Team is back on the case!
johnnylongtorso: nice planet you got here, Mr. Ghorman, shame what might happen to it
 Cptasparagus: is it hand lowered?
 TheDevil_Risen: Nice!!!
 adept_nekomancer: Clearly the weapons on the B-wing are well-tuned.
 hyralt: Isn't the expected number of 4ups on 4 dice 2?  The chance of getting no 4ups on 4 dice is 6.25%.  If my math is correct
   LoadingReadyRun: @hyralt We've extensively established that Cam's bad luck is statistically improbable 
 hyralt: That's implausible!  (reference to the elf game Cori was just playing)
 hyralt: Wow, this overlay is cool
   LoadingReadyRun: @hyralt thanks!
 adept_nekomancer: Maybe they think you're going to pass them?
 e_bloc: huh, didn't clock the overlay at first.  that is pretty spiffy
 TheDevil_Risen:  
 TheDevil_Risen:   
 TheAinMAP: 
 hyralt: I want to see more!
 hyralt: I will pay to see more
 RealGamerCow: *star wars MORE meme*

   LoadingReadyRun: @Lobo_Apache nice!
 TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/VivaciousColdSnakeWow-cUbmHVfhwN0lQdo6
 hyralt: It looks like so much fun.  I wish X-Wing were still being made
 adept_nekomancer: The Croissant Turn
 TheDevil_Risen: porco rosso?
johnnylongtorso: sorry, Gamma 2 has to stop for gas
 hyralt: Is a K-turn like a K-hole?
 Lobo_Apache: K-turn for kill-turn
johnnylongtorso: the Special K Turn requires blue milk
johnnylongtorso: back shots
 ContingentCat: Sir
 62MGcobra: did 2 and 3 move backwards or are the models backwards?
 wedge_x: b-wing is the 'rotate your owl' ship
 adept_nekomancer: They're doing space donuts
 62MGcobra: ah i just tuned in
 62MGcobra: missed that
 TheDevil_Risen: me!
 adept_nekomancer: This A-wing just nipping at the shuttle like an angry chihuahua
 Lobo_Apache: if you're cold, they're cold. let the ties in
 Gadora: I think they added calculate when they added the droid starfighters, so that they could represent them not being as good as organic pilots?
johnnylongtorso: there was a comic where C3PO had to pilot the Falcon
  Simriel: Hows the assault going?
 TheDevil_Risen:  
Orxolon: brb 
Orxolon: 
  Simriel: They're Winning right?
  Simriel: Right?
 adept_nekomancer: @Simriel They've eliminated 2 of the 3 enemy squadrons they need to meet the victory condition.  But Ian's ship is a little bit on fire.
Orxolon: @adept_nekomancer in space
 margieargie: @Orxolon Hey, space is cold*, sometimes you need to warm up a bit
Orxolon: @margieargie xD
 e_bloc: space is hot & deep
Orxolon: did you know that in the acolyte i heard they had a scene of a wing BURNING in space ?XD

 TheAinMAP: 
johnnylongtorso: there's a card in the latest SWU set called Screeching TIE Fighter
 saintguard: The Chuckle?
 wedge_x: Good morning, Chuck!
 hyralt: Something's up with the feed from Ian's phone
 RealGamerCow: If anyone asked you what it meant, you could say "What's up chuckle fucks?"
johnnylongtorso: forged in the fires of Mount Chuck
ghyllnox: Charles Xavier could've been a Chuck
 hyralt: Ian's clearly still using the app to calculate what the next actions are, but he's not streaming to the AirServer
 saintguard: They listened to Falco
 62MGcobra: ah we're in a feedback loop
 RealGamerCow: My father-in-law was named Jim Bob, was from Texas, and was a nuclear safety engineer. Honorary Chuck
 hyralt: Thanks, Ian!!

 Strebenherz: 150 for the malevolent dice god lurking behind cam to be nice to him for a bit
 Gadora: Defense roll?
 Gadora: Oh! For some reason I was looking at the E-Wing.
 NotCainNorAbel: 500
 adept_nekomancer: Well, on 1 HP I'm not sure how much difference the hull breach makes
 johnnylongtorso: the B-Wing has so many holes in it, it's turned into a 3-Wing
   LoadingReadyRun: @adept_nekomancer 1 != 0
 adept_nekomancer: @LoadingReadyRun True!  I was thinking that "take 1 critical damage before taking damage" doesn't change matters if the next damage will explode you anyway
 TheDevil_Risen: mind the paint!
 Lobo_Apache: I really miss guess weapons/ranges in 40k. especially the basilisk
 TheDevil_Risen:   
letsbelgo: how uncharacteristic
letsbelgo: winning rolls
 hyralt: Damage on everything.  Nice and even.  Who needs focused fire?
 adept_nekomancer: @hyralt The focus is all of it.
 hyralt: When the connor net hits a bunch of enemies with 1 hp [Jon Hamm dancing in the club playing Turn the Lights Off by Kato meme]
 Vinewood_OG: Is she baptized?
an_archist2: what's her credit rating?
 johnnylongtorso: what that TIE do?
 hyralt: I bet the TIE defender has a well-funded RRSP
 Lobo_Apache: Why are we eating Elrond's buscuits?
   LoadingReadyRun: @hyralt we never hear about the Empire's retirement plan. Maybe because "retirement" doesn't come up much 😬

goombalax: Waltz of the Fighters
 adept_nekomancer: bonk!
 adept_nekomancer: I really want TIE #4 to die by crashing into an asteroid.  It would be the most fitting ending to the campaign.
   LoadingReadyRun: @adept_nekomancer there is that asteroid right in front of him. We can always hope!
 specktakuler: Are these from fantasy flight, or gamer campaigns?
   LoadingReadyRun: @specktakuler I believe these models are from the official xwing game (which has been discontinued)
 specktakuler: I bought the original models then the 2.0 upgrade kits, but hadn't seen campaigns available
 e_bloc: smash and pass
 Vinewood_OG: Twin ion engines. Twins, Basil!
 Lobo_Apache: Does it count as a victory is y'all survive, but due to ejections?
 hyralt: @specktakuler This is the unofficial fan campaign, Heroes of the Aturi Cluster, which is freely available
 adept_nekomancer: Wow, that TIE is really angry
letsbelgo: well
