HiimDant: the combos are too hot, we can't help but drop them
ylegm: We also can't give timely and immediate feedback, so this is better than backseating
Lobo_Apache: @Zaneysed when nelson blocks hazanshoo, he wins the round
Micalovits: Fair, and we can't exactly spend 3 hours talking about how cute Nelly is
HiimDant:
not with that attitude 
Zaneysed: @Micalovits i mean....
saucemaster5000: I can talk about anything for 3 hours
Micalovits: I see I need an attitude change xD Cause damn, I like Nelsons shirt
TXC2: we can't, but that usually because Adam would time us out if we did
Zaneysed: YIPPIE
lightfut: You had a couple against a gief or a jp
TXC2: yeah the Chun-li wood-chipper did a number on us today

Flyingdelorion: Hello! Let's chill all the points!
Aceviru:
OldUncleDan: Beej giving horrible advice there. You should never vaccinate your kids. It's way too irrisponsible! Get a properly trained and licensed medical professional to do it!
OldUncleDan: irresponsible.
Juliamon: What if you ARE a trained and licensed medical professional?

TXC2: I learned in English class that tension breaks make horror better, because the buildup is the best part
RockPusher: Surprise! You're a protaganist!
Snowcookies: also I think at one point in the story she's a teen
hyalopterous: How many times has leon been through that shit
hyalopterous: he started as a cop
TXC2: part of S.T.A.R.S I think
TheMerricat: I think by this point he's like a special ops person though right?
Foxmar320: @TXC2 No he was not part of Stars. Just a rookie cop on his first day
Tiber727: Then he was recruited by the feds and sent to find the President's daughter.
TheMerricat: @TheMerricat A member of an international organizaiton dedicated to cleaning up Umbrella's crap
SocraticMethod: Raccoon city got nuked, so hard to have stories set in there enymore
kingandcommoner: Silent Hill 3 as well
TXC2:
Foxmar320 ah, sucks for him I guess
Tiber727:
@SocraticMethod That never stopped Fallout. 
Foxmar320: @TXC2 Oh it's fine he because a secret agent for the government and got trained to roundhouse zombies
Foxmar320: became*
TXC2: Foxmar320 ah
Aceviru:
Foxmar320: Grace is just a FBI analyst
hyalopterous: She's like a writer or accountant or something
SocraticMethod: Except for RE5, we don't talk about Jill in there
bytecaster: Someone has a crush on a videogame character
mtvcdm: It's, a zombie game, you're allowed to be a scaredycat
SocraticMethod: Ashley is hiding because Leon told her to, she keeps running at zombies otherwise
TheMerricat:
Look guys, you will eventually understand why this director is talking they way they are, and you will be ashamed of your deeds and words. 
Tiber727: You put me in RE4, I'm also hiding in dumpsters.
kingandcommoner: Calling Leon Kennedy cool shows exactly how little you know about Resident Evil
Foxmar320: As a RE fan im tired of Leon
kingandcommoner: Leon Kennedy is not cool, he is trying so very hard to be cool and failing and that is what make shim hilarious
Laserbeaks_Fury: not to be confused with Uncle Hunk
SocraticMethod: Hunk is an actual RE character tho >:(
NorthstarTex: WTF... that title belongs to Chris Redfield! D:< /j
Foxmar320: Leon is over used
Vinewood_OG: Hunc™️
bytecaster: ouji is prince, right?
Aceviru:
Give me booty shorts Leon in Nikke 
Foxmar320: @Aceviru Ive seen that mod
bytecaster: Ooooh, for old
bytecaster: That makes sense
Tiber727: Leon is cool when he's suplexing monsters, less cool when hitting on Hunnigan.
Foxmar320: Id like Jill to show up for a new game
Vinewood_OG: Why?
Aceviru: @Foxmar320 This
bytecaster: Yeah, here is the story were you lose are powerless is much more of an indie game pitch
Aceviru: Survival.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think Alien: Isolation straddled that real well....if you don't crank up the difficulty
Foxmar320: Classic RE games are Haunted House Simulators
TheMerricat: Jill was last in Resident Evil:Resistance which... looks like a L4D clone made in 2020? But that wasn't as a playable character. Her last playable role was 2009 RE5?
Decaped: Good ole' Alone in the Dark fear
Foxmar320: Yep Jill was playable in a DLC for RE5
Aceviru: I think that added to the charm.
Tiber727: While the RE2make was cool, it did seem like a lot of the difficulty was from zombies being damage sponges to keep it difficult.
e_bloc: love some draw distance fog
hyalopterous: Yeah, that was the first Silent Hill I think
TXC2: PS1 Silent hill
Foxmar320: RE4, 5 and 6 suffer from being to action heavy
Aceviru: Yeah...
TXC2: which came out in 99, way later then I thought
Tiber727: Fatal Frame is a brilliant concept in that it makes you look at the monster to kill it.
frank_the_great: Gone Home isn't a horror game, but right before the ending is the most scared I've ever been in a game
Laserbeaks_Fury: And you have to let it get close
Foxmar320: I found Gone Home scary because I kept seeing stuff out of the cornet of my eye and started thinking someone was in the house
TheMerricat: @frank_the_great I wasn't scared in the "oh no, something will get me" sense for that, I was scared "oh no, please tell me she's alive" sense
TXC2: anxious
Vinewood_OG: There was a window of a good 10 seconds, after my PS4 controller speaker started playing the GTAV police radio, that I thought I was getting swatted....

Vinewood_OG: That's how it starts.
INCSlayer: its less a slipper slope and more of a sheer cliff
Ms_LadyMix: A lot of people are getting okay with AI in the process and as an artist that freaks me out, the tedious process work IS in fact really important for ideation and creation still.
MajorFrostbyte: As Kathleen pointed out, he could also have just not said anything.
Decaped: *Cameron
Ms_LadyMix: Process is about getting your brain around the subject and if you're outsourcing that, you're compromising your art.
Vinewood_OG: Concussive maintenance.
drrek0: I think he deserves to be come down hard on. I don't think its ok to use the plagiarism machine just because you only use it a little.
Laserbeaks_Fury: @Ms_LadyMix True, but also almost universally they are Finding Out how much it really doesn't save.
Vinewood_OG: Based
TXC2: "AI" can not fail hard or fast enough
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!)
INCSlayer: translation from CEO speak: we are pushing hard on AI but we are pretending we are not because apparently you guys dont like it
Ms_LadyMix: ^
Ms_LadyMix: Not saying anything is so free, SO free
Decaped: you're right, CEOS should lie to us more
INCSlayer: but if he doesnt say anything how are we supposed to marvel at his clear genius /s
Laserbeaks_Fury: Rock Stars
hyalopterous: Steve Jobs Did a fair amount of that
Aceviru: Unfortunately, consumers may want one thing, and shareholders want another.
Vinewood_OG: Lifestyles of the rich AND famous.
hyalopterous: Jobs actually did it fairly well
TXC2: a lot of CEOs are deeply uncreative people who CRAVE being praised like the a creative person is
INCSlayer: CEO and Guitar players 100% the same person
TheMerricat: I'm the last person who would defend CEOs. But I am going to point out that not all CEOs are Elon Musk. Sometimes they are just people who happened to be in charge of something they were passionate about making work.
Invitare: I remember a while back when a game had "by chatGPT" written in some background text and they claimed it was "just placeholder we missed". Has they not heard of Lorum Ipsum???
CaptainSpam: CEOs need to look good to their bosses: The shareholders.
Laserbeaks_Fury: How much could a banana cost?
LordZarano: I would MUCH rather know that a company is using AI and how so we can make informed decisions what not to buy than have that kept secret from us
Vinewood_OG: The Real Augmented Reality
TXC2:
they're basically modern Aristocracy
Aceviru: Also, keep in mind that many of the people in the higher positions didn't get there by doing the right thing
Decaped: it's really funny this conversation is being had around a CEO who is also the creative director
Ms_LadyMix: @Invitare They just hate their QA team who has to sort out what's placeholder, Lorem Ipsum makes it too easy!
hyalopterous: Experience is what you get when you dont get what you want
e_bloc: born on third base and think they hit a triple
INCSlayer: Considering the current AI path we are on even if the bubble breaks tommorrow we are in for a lot of games that has some level of AI use in them and i think its going to be very hard to avoid AI in games if you want to play new releases that are not "just" indie games
Tiber727: @Invitare That was The Alters. They specifically wanted "Lorem ipsum, but formatted like it was actually some scientific text." So they used AI.
Vinewood_OG: Ricky Schroder's Cat
TheMerricat: Larian Studios was FOUNDED by Swen. He started the company, he started as a game designer. As much as I vibe with what Beej is saying, it doesn't apply to this scenario.
frank_the_great: My billionaire CEO recently donated $100M to charity, which I thought was pretty cool. Rarest CEO W
Marvoleath: It's sunk cost fallacy - the economy
Ms_LadyMix: The AI propaganda machine is well funded
NorthstarTex: People put AI into Astrology... digest that. Fucking Astrology.
kingandcommoner: When you close it it re-opens
Vinewood_OG:
Ms_LadyMix: I know people are getting a bit tired of the push back against AI but we're fighting a billion dollar machine and we have to be a little obnoxious about it I fear.
Greendrag13: My grocery store was menacing me with an "AI assistant" this morning. Wish they'd invest in keeping the site from crashing instead
kingandcommoner: Hasn't youtube been doing some AI shenananiganery with shorts?
TheMerricat: @frank_the_great Unfortunately, all that means is he got to pick where his tax dollars went instead of the government since that donation was 100% tax deducible.
Laserbeaks_Fury: In the future: All of YouTube is 5-Minute Crafts
Aceviru: It's trying to rush you into a purchase while you're in the site. Literally making the most use of the machine.
INCSlayer:
@NorthstarTex but that makes sense Astrology is already made up so adding AI to it seems fine
mtvcdm: If it was left at just feeding you prompts and then you had to go do the work yourself that wouldn't be so bad.
mtvcdm: It'd still be dumb but it wouldn't be THAT awful
RockPusher: yes… what if…
e_bloc: AI is never 100% inaccurate is probably a more sensible phrase
TheMerricat: @Ms_LadyMix Don't get me wrong, I understand why creatives are upset. I'm just a bit saddened that creatives didn't get upset back when I was a kid and the exact same fucking thing going on right now was happening to factory workers. Your situation isn't new.
NorthstarTex: But what if.
Ms_LadyMix: @TheMerricat I'm not just a creative, I'm a dev as well and don't worry, I've always been a luddite. The luddites were correct.
TXC2: "wouldn't it be great if we could just violate IP laws willy nilly with ZERO consequences?!"
Laserbeaks_Fury: thats huge "What If Zelda was a Girl" energy
Aceviru: "Why study language when I can half ass it"
e_bloc: what could be better advice than to make something that has already been made and was successful
INCSlayer: @Laserbeaks_Fury Zelda is the Person in Green with the Sword right?
Laserbeaks_Fury: that's literally a thing in Mass Effect, they just called them Virtual Intelligence. ,# Avina
Vinewood_OG: Beep bop borp bloop, turned your torso into tasty soup
Laserbeaks_Fury:
Decaped: Ghosts aren't real so we had to invent them
Ms_LadyMix: Yeah yeah who needs to read! Let the AI do it for you!
niccus: maybe Black Mirror was too optimistic
TheMerricat: GRR Martin just had a heart attack.
TXC2: CEOs reading "don't build the Torment nexus" going "lets build the torment nexus!"
SocraticMethod:
The only way we would get the Winds of Winter
Marvoleath: what if ao3 without the o
terribleplan: Or have it clone the author's voice to have them literally read the book to you and speak to you as them
Aceviru: @Ms_LadyMix Let AI generate a voice for you*
INCSlayer: on a academic level i would like to see an AI sequel to to compare to the authors actual sequel to see how horrible and wrong the AI version is
Syntheticuh: didnt the clue movie do that?
TXC2:
Marvoleath so Archive archive archive?
Vinewood_OG: @Laserbeaks_Fury Yes! V.I. has been the best description for this mediocre search engine with a conversational user interface.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yes, CLue had 3 endings
Syntheticuh: theres like 3 different endings sent to theaters iirc
kingandcommoner: If somebody could Clue the final book of Game of Thrones I'd die laughing
Bruceski: Now I want to become a bestselling author just so I can Clue a book. Make ten different erndings to a whodunnit
e_bloc: people love to say accounting will be eliminated by AI...show me a CEO who is ready to go to jail if the AI misstates their finances.
Ms_LadyMix: It's funny, last year for Christmas my husband got my Mom to record her reading my favourite book as a kid. I cried like a baby. I have that forever. No AI needed.
Ms_LadyMix: My mom's still alive btw, but I'm ready!
Vinewood_OG: Betrayal. That's why.
NorthstarTex: *stares at Microsoft*
Aceviru: @Ms_LadyMix That's so sweet
Ms_LadyMix: @Aceviru yeah he did good lol
kingandcommoner: The Larian CEO has shame
e_bloc: because then I would have to interact with him
hyalopterous: everybody alreaedy knows they're terrible
Greendrag13: Criticism is for things you want to see improve. Otherwise, its just complaining
RockPusher: Some people/organisations *intend* to be better
Vinewood_OG: We fight those we still havr hope for saving from this private equity sandtrap.
Decaped: and then there's all the programmers using AI that no one notices.
Derekwillis: Not true about the gacha game thing. Incels care about culture war bs, and push devs to be worse! See any Korean gacha game controversy!
Vinewood_OG: Hack the planet. Productively.
OldUncleDan: When in doubt about anything in LRR, just remember... Blame James!
ArdCollider: That can move the needle but I advise you to be *very* clear on "are they just ignorant" or "are they well-connected 4chan edgelord types who will post your email and have you harrassed."
CaptainSpam: Note: Just screaming "DO BETTER" is also not helpful.
TXC2: shockingly few people need to complain about to get it changed/ dealt with
e_bloc: if you are sending an email every month, perhaps consider finding a real hobby
SocraticMethod: Hollow Knight: Silksong: Zoteboat

NorthstarTex: I'll joy scream if they added a fishing minigame
TheMerricat:
Beej and Heather lied to us? 
hyalopterous: Every game eventually adds a fishing minigame
OldUncleDan: I'm pretty sure my brother's dog has wet fleas.
Strebenherz: Wet your fleas
Krektogar: @Strebenherz flea ypur wets?
SocraticMethod: Lifeblood is probably going to be relevant considering the dialogue in the game said it was found in "salt-stricken waters"
OldUncleDan: @hyalopterous Except for Fishing Simulator, strangely enough.
Lord_Hosk: Nice Day for bugging huhuuh

SocraticMethod:
Patreon would mean that TC actually has to deliver something on time, never going to happen
OldUncleDan: Whenever I hear the phrase "Team Cherry" my mind goes to the jazz trumpet player Don Cherry.

INCSlayer: no no Hosk Checkpoint is the Demo for Chillpoint

SocraticMethod: @OldUncleDan As the man himself said: "If baby's broke, he's only doin' it for the bit"
SocraticMethod:
It's pronounced "Ke-ching-a" 
OldUncleDan: I was yesterday years old when I found out that Spiritbox is from Victoria, BC.
Lord_Hosk: I could enjoy concerts a lot more if they weren't all so loud that they can be heard clearly and nicely in the parkinglot but are painful for anyone inside the stadium
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah, given Peak came out in the middle a torrent of "content" games
Bruceski: @Lord_Hosk Down in Bend there's a stage right next to the river and after one band complained about ticket sales they now have security guards clear the river and opposite shore during concerts so people can't listen for free.
JessieImproved: Special concert-grade earplugs are essential for concerts
OldUncleDan: @Lord_Hosk In my experience as some one with Neuro-Spicy Audio Issues "Weird Al" Yankovic concerts tend to have a fairly tolerable volume.
Snowcookies: I've found bringing earplugs to concerts ups my enjoyment of them
OldUncleDan: Silent Discos. My university has them from time to time.
Bruceski: We have that at the Portland winter light festival, the "Silent Disco".
lightfut: Ah, silent Disco

Driosenth: I went to see Weird Al in Albuquerque this year... he did not play Albuquerque
RockPusher: Last time I saw Tim Minchin here they had the amps way louder than needed for the venue that has great acoustics already
OldUncleDan: That's a good point. Saw that concert at the State Theater in Minneapolis, and the sound balance there was excellent.
Marvoleath: Sky: Children of the Light notably had an Aurora concert
Aceviru: E33 having a concert with its ost as paid content would probably go hard.
Marvoleath: @Aceviru they sold out in multiple locations in Europe, immediately
50keyz: mxmtoon
Marvoleath:
@Marvoleath ah, you meant in game, not irl 
TheMerricat: "Maia (born July 9, 2000), known professionally as mxmtoon (/ɛmɛksɛmˈtuːn/ em-ex-em-TOON)"
Aceviru: @Marvoleath Yeah. Because it makes it easier for people to experience. Also, if games can make use of VR headsets, it would be better.
Aceviru: Hahaha
mtvcdm: I would also have accepted one of the crew making a YouTube face pointing at the Checkpoint logo with a giant word 'NO'
Aceviru: That would be so good
MTigress: start giving up news that hasnt' happened yet

RubikDarkwill: Like literally the first LRR video?

INCSlayer: now convert it to Norwegian Krona
TheDevil_Risen: nah timbits
accountmadeforants: What was that? Did Heather make another funny joke?
e_bloc: some
kingandcommoner: Wait that game came out?
e_bloc: the world is so dire, we'll laugh at anything
kingandcommoner: The gloom hands are annoying. I originally thought Phantom Ganon only showed up in the Deku Tree because I never bothered to fight the things
Snowcookies: When you have legs, I can fight you - Beej
INCSlayer: the guardians stopped being scary when you learned how to do the shield parry
TheMerricat:
Forget "if it bleeds, I can kill it." replace it with "if you have legs, I can deal with you" 
INCSlayer: yea thats where i thought it first as well

dumbo3k: @Richter42 I am a notorious digital hoarder. I need those 3 million wheels of cheese, dang it
TheDevil_Risen: dam, my asthma !
Tiber727: @Bruceski Was thinking the same. To this day I hate his OHKO shockwaves he does.
Richter42: lol not the wheel of cheese
TheDevil_Risen:
@dumbo3k but.. isnt it more fun to set them free from the greybeard's retreat at the top of the mountain
accountmadeforants: @Aceviru I assume they're all well-centered considering game UI things.
TheDevil_Risen: awww thats so cute
INCSlayer: they are "fixing" bugs in Silksong

TheDevil_Risen: 14 for a joystick.. DAM
TheDevil_Risen: man i wish we were back in the 90s
accountmadeforants: Oh hell I remember suction cups on joysticks, do they still do that?
ShaneLeeAtk: ^
mtvcdm: That's a joystick for the sickest RC car on the block
RockPusher: I wonder if I have one of these in a box somewhere…
TheDevil_Risen: @accountmadeforants not that im aware of. these days their heavy metal bases that you screw into something
TheDevil_Risen: OG ELITE mentioned
accountmadeforants:
@TheDevil_Risen Yeah that makes a lot more sense, those suction cups never worked properly 
TheDevil_Risen: i feel so seen rn
terribleplan: The baseball one, it gave us the LRR theme tune so it must be good.

OldUncleDan: California Games was my favorite.
TheDevil_Risen: Jill o the Jungle!
CaptainSpam: Winners don't lose frogs.
Rob_Racoon: California Games, banger game.
TheMerricat: "Epyx, Inc. was an American video game developer and publisher active in the late 1970s and 1980s. The company was founded in 1978 as Automated Simulations by Jim Connelley and Jon Freeman, publishing a series of tactical combat games. The Epyx brand was introduced when the company branched out to a series of more action-oriented titles. In 1983, as these types of games now represented the majority of their product line, the company was renamed to match."
TheMerricat: "Epyx published a long series of games through the 1980s. The company's assets are currently owned by Bridgestone Multimedia Group Global."
ArdCollider: Temple of Apshai was an Epyx banger too.
Richter42: Making me feel old but such a golden age
ShaneLeeAtk: Sometimes I really wish I could go back to the early PC days...
TheDevil_Risen:
god i need my back medicine now
NornsFelidar: oh commander keen. also epic MegaGames made jazz jackrabbit with a killer soundtrack
OldUncleDan: I kinda miss my old Apple II gs.
TheDevil_Risen: is that one of those massive sandwiches that beej has there?
accountmadeforants: Oh yeah there weren't any execs yet who were sure they figured out how to get consistent free money, so everyone was still just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks and following their passion.
ArdCollider: Sega Channel was wild. don't get too used to that game, it's gonna vanish next week!
accountmadeforants:
I should say, "and/or following their passion". Throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks was (and still is) a way of trying to get free infinite money
TheDevil_Risen: was Sega Channel the first GaaS ?
TheDevil_Risen: it'd have to be close
TheDevil_Risen: hahah GARFEILD xD
terribleplan: Please Download Disk 2
TheDevil_Risen: Yabba Dabba Doo!
Juliamon: Some of the older Garfield games were legit
mtvcdm: I remember the days of me yelling at Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular, so, I believe it
OldUncleDan: @TheDevil_Risen I would argue that MUDs and MUSHs would predate that.
TheMerricat: "As the modem only officially supported a speed of 1200 baud (1.2 kbit/s)"
ShaneLeeAtk: Screaming
TheDevil_Risen: @OldUncleDan Fair. Im not 80s enough to know that's why I asked haha. mygaming journey started in the early 90s.
CaptainSpam: Ah, Q-Link.
CaptainSpam: That what eventually became AOL.
Driosenth: Don't copy that floppy
RockPusher ran a BBS for his friend group
MTigress: BBS's are making a bit of a resurgence via things like Meshtastic, which is kinda neat
dumbo3k: @Driosenth if they didn't want me to save that file, they shouldn't have made the save button be the same icon as the floppy!
Lord_Hosk: Oh man... BBSs for me were weird because we were on the county line, and for some reason the phone company used that for cut of for phone calls too, we could call people the next town south of us local, but two towns south was long distance. we could call 10 towns north... but there were no BBSs up there... everything was south of us.
TheDevil_Risen: PS5 getting proprietary compatibility layers for old PS games now?
CaptainSpam: I mean, in fairness, the N64 was also a really weird console to develop for, but that had the excuse of being a really early 3D console.
TheDevil_Risen: oh so its for that specific game
accountmadeforants: I do wonder how the gaming landscape would've turned out if commercial emulators somehow won out.
Richter42: Don't download the playstation bios
TheMerricat: Sony actually never won, they got a temporary injunction. Connectix won but they were broke because the temp injunction prevented them from selling VGS. Then Sony bought them and closed it all down.

Juliamon: this is *astonishing* for GBC
CaptainSpam: Didn't Jer play this during a Desert Bus once?
TheDevil_Risen: good for a GBC tho
CaptainSpam: Yeah, this is really damned impressive.
mtvcdm: For a GBC this is spectacular
mtvcdm: That would have been some Donkey Kong Country stuff had it come out in the day
Aceviru: Yeah, it was only a Chris version. So if it's an update, that's great
MTigress: later on, RE got a release on the DS
kingandcommoner: Mean. Fair, but mean.
CaptainSpam: Well, eff you too, Unnamed Creator of Resident Evil.
TheDevil_Risen: also, the last few eps seeing the fisherman's friends in another country look exactly the same as they do down under has been really fun to me. and that it hasnt changed in a couple of decades

7gorobei: how many quarters to play?
niccus: is this tetriswashing
accountmadeforants: @7gorobei I'd say one quarter (million)'s enough
mtvcdm: Dubai gets one (1) kudo
SocraticMethod: Drop would be quite difficult as it would kill the battery really fast
Aceviru: That's the evolution
richard_ermen: For some reason whenever I think of Dubai, I think of Sand....and phosphor.
accountmadeforants:
I mean they could just use the Z-axis and fly behind the other drones
SocraticMethod: Acceleration is as half or less as efficient and steady flight.
SocraticMethod: So they could play about one-ish tetris game before they need to re-charge the drones
richard_ermen: "Refreshed"....how do you refresh LoL? Wipe everyones mind and tell them of this cool new game?
Aceviru: @accountmadeforants Forget 5d chess, 3d drone Tetris is where it's at
mtvcdm: We'll see if they learned from Overwatch's mistakes

mtvcdm: It is good to have age-group competitions like this, for reasons like this
Driosenth: What kind of elimination
Aceviru: Retired champ
TheDevil_Risen: MASH GRANNY!
TheDevil_Risen: lets go!
TheDevil_Risen: looks like their using proper hardware sticks and buttons
OldUncleDan: Fellow Jun Kazama player! Mad respect!
Lord_Hosk: My neighbor retired at 65 in like 1987... and bought a NES that he would play in his front den every day to "keep his brain fresh" we would trade games
Laserbeaks_Fury: It counts as One Punch if you only use Neutral Mid

terribleplan: Oh, you don't take USD?
Lord_Hosk: I don't know if my bank has Canadian $5s
Aceviru: "so what do you do for a living"
Driosenth: can it be any currency that uses dollars?
accountmadeforants:
@KeytarCat There is a One Punch Man fighting game, I recall it did actually have some special mechanic to account for this problem, let me see if I can find it
mtvcdm: I only did that at the *end* of my visit when I was like, I'm not converting the remainder of my CanadaBux back to USD, here, have
BalthusHomewood: "We don't suck and people think that's worth something."
Aceviru: Hahaha
definenull: Very successful busking
morgwen921: Americans are required to give 2 toonies and a loonie
BalthusHomewood: Busking it down sexual style
Aceviru:

Lord_Hosk: Jamaican $ is worth about 1 Canadian cent. so a 5 dollars Jamaican is roughly a Nickle.
UtilityPunk: You would buy the coffee and then tell your accountant
Marvoleath: what about 5 Balboas?

Marvoleath: meanwhile in Poland a priest "got a luxurious car from a homeless person that didn't introduce themselves"
TheDevil_Risen: Snow CUBE!
accountmadeforants:
@accountmadeforants Okay yeah "A Hero Nobody Knows" solved it in two ways. One is that there was a "dream" Saitama (the one from his dream fighting the underground people). The other is that it's a 3v3 game, if you pick Saitama as one of your members you're effectively playing 2v3 and have a timer until Saitama arrives, at which point you *basically* win the game
TheAinMAP: !next

mtvcdm: The ELEVENTH annual
Marvoleath: @Juliamon I feel like this can be solved by scryfall art tagger (not as fun though)
accountmadeforants:
Unbeatable while tipsy is still great, speaking from experience
Juliamon: Marvoleath It wasn't (because Wheeler refused to do it right)
accountmadeforants: (I started playing it right after a work outing with perhaps a bit too much alcohol)
BalthusHomewood: Does he have better rhythm while tipsy?
accountmadeforants: Oh hell Crawl is back!
TheDevil_Risen: Crawl is BACK!
accountmadeforants: Crawl is super cool
UtilityPunk: Oh heck yeah, fun one last time you did it

accountmadeforants: Oh wait I misremembered those were also Christmas
accountmadeforants: Tingle, a part of our heritage
terribleplan: Tingle feels like Christmas
iarethel0ser: We don't want to punch things, so we're playing yakuza instead.
TheDevil_Risen:
I mean, James has a whole thing where he just punches things
TheDevil_Risen: and we love it
kingandcommoner: I see what you did there
