  mtvcdm: At one point the broadcast- it's an alternate broadcast in conjunction with the normal one- tried to replace the ball with Stitch and it made everything go Actually Weird
  mtvcdm: At one point one of the gingerbread refs was swapping with Goofy, who was supposed to be playing at the moment, one player on one team was scoring for the other team, the control room must have been tearing their hair out

 RockPusher: 
 Boopity: 
 SymphonySolstice:

 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ExcitedMagnificentDolphinPicoMause-oioGhLdrDznO69qs

 SymphonySolstice: invisible button....
 farley_f: !home
 accountmadeforants: 8bitdo is good value for money, but they're definitely not perfect.
 Vinewood_OG: Yeah those are great. I also have a SNES like with dual sticks for my switch!
 pleonasticTautology: yeah, the switch pro controller d-pads are... mushy
 accountmadeforants: Oh yeah, the d-pads on 8bitdo controllers have *never* been good and I just don't understand
 pleonasticTautology: i do wish it were just The Buttons like the joy-con

 SymphonySolstice: bowling time
 Lord_Hosk: Im not at a bowling ally
 pleonasticTautology: 🐓
 RockPusher: Time for some Turkey!
 adept_nekomancer: Ah yes, a turkey. 🐓
 accountmadeforants: Yakuza games are Everything Games
  TXC2: Yakuza are what if GTA was good 
Mysticman89: my sister is in the hospital? egads! time for outrun!
 RockPusher: Yakuza is a game that likes games in its game
 Didero: Telephone club?
 Travilogue: Does this one have a forklift?
 Gekyouryuu: Yakuza 0 is just Pocket Circuit Simulator where you sometimes have to punch people as a mini-game.
 pleonasticTautology: oh
 adept_nekomancer: I absolutely got sidetracked in Yakuza 0 trying to become the city's mahjong champion.
 pleonasticTautology: there's a sketch/crapshot about this
 frnknstn: Waitm, Beej is that girl?
Mysticman89: companionship is wholesome and pure
  mtvcdm: Hot singles in your area, but with a failstate
 ANeMzero: It's like that but you go to a physical location that also provides tissues in case you get... emotional.
 pleonasticTautology: caliente
Mysticman89: it's like therapy but less research backed
  TXC2: pleonasticTautology  "call now to get a free bottle of hot sauce"
 Didero: Thanks for explaining
 pleonasticTautology: @TXC2 YEAH
 RockPusher: This is baby Kiryu
  TXC2: it's 88
 RockPusher: The 80s property boom
 Boopity: Kiryu: "im baby"
 RockPusher: hence the property management game
 adept_nekomancer: He's how old he needs to be.
  TXC2: back when we thought Japan was gonna become the richest country in the world
 Gekyouryuu: Yakuza 1 is 2005
 Boopity: To be fair, he _does_ age in the newest game a _little_ 
Mysticman89: hes pretty old and/or sick before he ages visbily
 PharaohBender27: @pleonasticTautology "Oh GOD this is not worth $8 an hour!"

 RockPusher: OH YES!
 adept_nekomancer: It's the chicken mission!
 RockPusher: Get a turkey Beej!
  mtvcdm: Turkeys are hard
 Didero: Turkey 4 Turkey
 Travilogue: Turkey! Time To Strike!!
Mysticman89: oh right, 0, had some non-trivial completion requirements in terms of what it asked of player skill
 PharaohBender27: 🦃
  TXC2: they prefer chicken, it's easier to get
Mysticman89: 0 forced me to up my outrun game a lot
 Travilogue: I guess we're about to fall through a time rift?
  mtvcdm: Nothing beats a plump bird, roasted to perfection!
 RockPusher: If I can do it I'm sure Beej can manage it
 RockPusher: Heather, of course, is capable of anything
 ANeMzero: My first experience with Yakuza was a friend mentioning they were having trouble getting the achievement for Pachinko in Y4 and me getting it after like 10 minutes. This is the correct way to start with the series.
 Boopity: The disco has a side story associated with it, and the last stage is _diabolical_
 spethycakes: 
 pleonasticTautology: when will bionic trousers media buy a wacca cab
 farley_f: I wonder then can we play baka mitai at the karaoke and rely bring the Ian vibes to life
 PharaohBender27: I find duck good, though a bit fatty
Mysticman89: the game is start, do some cutscenes, do 100 hours of minigames, do 10 hours of plot, do completionist things.
 ANeMzero: You can get the turkey playing solo
  mtvcdm: I have had duck twice... but both times it was at a Chinese place where they prepare it in such a way that they just chop right through the bones and leave them in and I can't get past that
 Didero: Does that mean this is a rhythm game?
 pleonasticTautology: SICK
  TXC2: STRIKE!
 RockPusher: 1!
  mtvcdm: Oh, okay this is just straight-up Super Bowling from the SNES
 pleonasticTautology: i miss bowling
 pleonasticTautology: like, irl bowling
 farley_f: same
 jessicaengle: Can you not bowl anymore?

 iris_of_ether:   
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, iris_of_ether! (Today's storm count: 24)
 farley_f: I haven't bowled in ages
 kusinohki: meows
  TXC2: pleonasticTautology  used to do it on my birthday, kinda miss it too
 pleonasticTautology: @jessicaengle i dunno where the nearest alley that isn't a dave and busters is
 kusinohki: also miss bowling
Mysticman89: expert pool people are sharks though
  Juliamon: I can't bowl anymore. I do miss it. Had a birthday party at the local alley once.
 PharaohBender27: Off by one!
 Boopity: Rude
 adept_nekomancer: Curse you, pin in the middle!
 Didero: 
 TehAmelie: impressive, you missed just the middle one
 BrowneePointz: Y'know, I wonder what Nagoshi's Mock-uza starring Ma Dong-seok is gonna end up being like
 kusinohki: last time bowling might have been college??
  mtvcdm: That is a wild windup
Mysticman89: you have the option for 10 frames I think? although m,aybe not for the substory
 pleonasticTautology: @TXC2 growing up, the nearest bowling alley was down the street from my house, so that was most birthdays (or the local theme park, or the local indoor swing set place)
 iris_of_ether: I literally have a bowling alley on the same street as work, and another within like 2 miles of my house 
 GapFiller: 
  TXC2: pleonasticTautology  cool, we had to go a different city to bowl 
 BrowneePointz: Growing up Mom was on a bowling league, so I had a LOT of Cheese Balls and playing arcade games growing up
  mtvcdm: No chance
  TXC2: *oh cool
 TehAmelie: i always thought bowling scores should be based on the difficulty of the shot. like, a 7-10 split is much harder to get than a strike
  Juliamon: The birthday party at the alley was also the birthday I got a Game Boy...
 PharaohBender27: I don't think I've ever done bowling. There was bowling available at the place my workplace holiday party was last year, but I didn't get to it before we had to leave because only 2 hours were booked
 RockPusher: Did the Derys watch Turkey! this year?
 jessicaengle: I think I've been bowling twice in my life
 BrowneePointz: I forgot the Bowling Alley also had a Daycare which is somehow the most Midwestern thing I think I could mention
 GrassVortex: 
  mtvcdm: So, they've figured out, through studies, that there IS an optimal ball speed to maximize strikes and it's about 17 miles per hour
 pleonasticTautology: UGH
 Didero: Wow, rude
 iris_of_ether: I was on a bowling league after school in like 6th grade. Through school.
 PharaohBender27: ROBBED
 GrassVortex: so close
  TXC2: robbed
 SymphonySolstice: rudeee
 Lord_Hosk:  
 Earthenone: nice score
 Gekyouryuu: nice
 ANeMzero: 69 points, nice
 adept_nekomancer: Chicken denied. 
  mtvcdm: 69!
  TXC2: the worst 69 ever
ekplayscards: nice
 spicyFerret_: NIC3
 RockPusher: nice
  Juliamon: The most recent time I went bowling, I spent the following week in pain... so only memories for me now
 farley_f:   
 Didero: She is not very good at this, is she?
 MyrddintheWizard: Nice.
 Boopity: Let her have fun 
  mtvcdm: A mere 46 pin advantage
 RockPusher: You're not here for Emiri's bowling prowess
 BrowneePointz: also I remember the Bowling Alley Daycare having a PS1, and I was a Nintendo Kid, and seeing Spryo and Crash get played was like "What am I even LOOKING at"
 RockPusher: You can do it solo
  Juliamon: You can solo
 ANeMzero: You can do it solo
 Boopity: Let me solo her
 spethycakes: Let Us Solo Her?
NarwhalsInATrenchcoat: @Didero She's also on the clock. Just trying to keep the client
ekplayscards: and here i thought this was a dating simulator
 Boopity: @spethycakes High five 
 kusinohki: is the best score for 3 frames 90 pts??
 Didero: @NarwhalsInATrenchcoat So she's letting us win?! That's even worse
 spethycakes: @Boopity Alas 
 PharaohBender27: @ekplayscards It's that, too - as Ian once put it, Yakuza is the everything game
 pleonasticTautology: rude
 Boopity: @ekplayscards ... you're not entirely wrong
 BrowneePointz: From personal experience, Bowling Alley employees are either 1. Really bad at it or 2. Will Body you at Bowling in ways you've never experienced
  mtvcdm: Gonna need some spin here
 PharaohBender27: 
  TXC2: clutch
  mtvcdm: Got it
 GrassVortex: 
 spethycakes: The fist pump gets me
 Boopity: Nice
 PharaohBender27: Oh no
 jessicaengle: GGs
  mtvcdm: Nice on!
 farley_f:  
  mtvcdm: Deposit ball directly into gutter
 Didero: That's pretty good for doing badly 
  mtvcdm: Has a shot
 PharaohBender27: AGAIN with the one!
 pleonasticTautology: OH COMON
 jessicaengle: Was that legally distinct "Mysterious Ways" playing in the background?
  mtvcdm: ROBBED
 Didero: Rude again
 adept_nekomancer: Oh, that's so rude
 kusinohki: me as a child - either enough spin the ball comes back and gets a strike or not enough spin ball goes straight into the gutter...
  mtvcdm: 9 and a nudge
 PharaohBender27: I think the game is doing this deliberately! 
 BrowneePointz: So Chat, cuz it's a thought that frequently passes my mind: Is Bowling the most Caucasian Sport there is?
 TehAmelie: don't forget lacrosse
 SymphonySolstice: darts
 Earthenone: pickleball and quadball exist too
 MyrddintheWizard: Golf?
  Juliamon: Golf is right there
 jessicaengle: Okay so it's not just me 
 adept_nekomancer: @BrowneePointz I mean, that or polo, but polo is more a rich person sport.  Bowling is definitely close.
  TXC2: maybe Strongman
 BrowneePointz: @Juliamon Counterpoint: Tiger Woods
 spethycakes: I second the vote for pickleball

 Getter404: Game's haunted.
 RockPusher: *so* rude
 PharaohBender27: @BrowneePointz I associate darts more with British and bowling with the U.S.
 MyrddintheWizard: Boo that pin.
ThorSokar: wooow
 farley_f: off by one
 Gekyouryuu: Beej wins by 1 point
Ugh_Sunlight: soooo rude
  mtvcdm: The game is hoarding that crispy skin and that juicy meat for itself
 BrowneePointz: @PharaohBender27 Idk I'm in the American Midwest and Darts is PEAK Bar Culture here
 TehAmelie: does being good at bowling impress the ladies? is this a realistic dating simulator?
 adept_nekomancer: Game really wants us to earn that turkey
 pleonasticTautology: [kasane teto voice] if you lock in you can do anything
 adept_nekomancer: She got one!
  TXC2: TehAmelie  I guess it impresses the ladies AT the bowling lanes
 spethycakes: Let the woman score for once
 Mollylele: does anyone else here remember when Adam got trapped in a Yakuza minigame home?
 Travilogue: I just noticed that she is wearing heels
 Gekyouryuu: saw a funny comic saying: "How to have intergenerational appeal: 68±1"
 BrowneePointz: yea bowling in heels is kind of a flex
 iris_of_ether: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ExpensiveBigPenguinPicoMause-Csn6zDh5TdeCLU0O
 MyrddintheWizard: @Gekyouryuu That's very funny!  haha 
 SymphonySolstice: team effort
 jessicaengle: What do we need to do to get the turkey?   Is it points?
 MyrddintheWizard: 3 strikes in a row
 Earthenone: three strikes in a row
 iris_of_ether: 3 strikes in a row
  TXC2: jessicaengle  3 strikes in a row

 BrowneePointz: we have to get a Turkey(3 strikes in a row)
 jessicaengle: ty 
 Gekyouryuu: the pins are rigged
 farley_f: a turkey is three strikes in a trenchcoat
 adept_nekomancer: Curse you, physics simulation!
 SymphonySolstice:   
  TXC2: computer CLEARLY doesn't know it's Christmas
 BrowneePointz: I think the next Yakuza they should add the Cursed Bowling TV cartoons
 Mollylele: can you use a heavier ball?
 spethycakes: RUDE
 PharaohBender27: 
 SymphonySolstice: rigged fr
 MyrddintheWizard: Big money no whammys
 PharaohBender27: @TXC2 Computer is a Scrooge

 spethycakes: especially rude

 pleonasticTautology: literally *right* after going to k&k for lunch
 SymphonySolstice: riggedddd
  mtvcdm: That 8 pin hates Heather
HiimDant: that number eight pin is just a jerk

 iris_of_ether: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/VictoriousBlightedAlmondRlyTho-MqZPphzP8zMA4Lkh
 adept_nekomancer: @Boopity CPU: Computer piss unit
  mtvcdm: Straight on isn't good for strikes, you need a little bit of angle
 spicyFerret_: Compisster
 jessicaengle: 
 BrowneePointz: Have any of yall done the bowling where you cradle it in the crook of your arm and basically shotput the fucker?
 iris_of_ether: "Dear tech support, why is my water cooler clogged with urea?"
 Earthenone: there are so many funny numbers clumped together in the 60's 64, 66, 67 and 69
  TXC2: mass hits harder
 spethycakes: There's a "do or do not" joke in there
 adept_nekomancer: @iris_of_ether I do not want my computer to have kidney stones.
 pleonasticTautology: i mean like. you ARE bowling a great game, to be clear
HiimDant: @TXC2 next you're gonna tell me throwing it faster makes it hit harder
 Earthenone: it looked like you did 4 there
 farley_f: throwing the ball explains the ball
  mtvcdm: Next Like A Dragon game should have candlepin bowling. Smaller more sticklike pins further apart, smaller balls, three balls per frame, the knocked over pins STAY on the lane, nobody has ever recorded a perfect score.
Punching_Bag: Faster harder better stronger 
 recursioning: Leaving the 5 and 9 pins is typical when hitting the "wrong* side of the head pin. It's known as the Brooklyn side in bowling
 recursioning: You can overcome it in real life with power or spin
 spicyFerret_: Heavy is the ball that strikes the pins
  TXC2: HiimDant it does, but not as much as the maths says it should
 BrowneePointz: anyone remember the Disney Channel movie about bowling where someone makes a 7/10 split in the last frame of the tournament?
  mtvcdm: https://arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-bostonglobe.s3.amazonaws.com/public/GBZCRBGQXEI6HLQIJBJUNGZMI4.jpg Candlepin bowling
 adept_nekomancer: So close!
 jessicaengle: Uhhhhhhhh one more?
 Boopity: Delicious
 iris_of_ether: I think my grandpa made a 7/10 split in his adulthood
 PharaohBender27: So . . . time for another 10 frames?
 Lord_Hosk: May I suggest... Throwing more strikes?  3 in a row perhaps?
 pleonasticTautology: LMAO
 RockPusher: iris_of_ether impressive
HiimDant: thanks hosk
 adept_nekomancer: An excellent plan
 SymphonySolstice: hosk is the bowling expert
  TXC2: Smart man the Hosk
 TehAmelie: such prostrats
  mtvcdm: 155 isn't bad
 farley_f: the power of Hosk compels you
 BrowneePointz: @iris_of_ether iirc the quirky girl who basically doesn't bowl the whole movie wins it for the team by spinning the shit out of the ball even though she rolls it slow as hell
  mtvcdm: 155 would be an excellent day for me
 pleonasticTautology: full bonus stream of yakuza bowling
 adept_nekomancer: I think about 160 was the best I ever bowled.
HiimDant: we need that turkey, it's of vital importance
 Lord_Hosk: If I score above 150 im happy
 TehAmelie: bowling with real stakes, what will they think of next
  mtvcdm: If you can get up into the 200's that's league bowling level.
 Boopity: I haven't had much success with that strategy
 iris_of_ether: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/DreamyMuddyOrcaOhMyDog-UjYYVlW8j-2zW9VU
 BrowneePointz: I mean scoring about 150 is Good, Actually Hosk lol
 BrowneePointz: above*
  mtvcdm: Made the headpin watch all its friends die
 jessicaengle: Have you tried drinking more glurp?  I understand it helps with sportball
 kusinohki: my aim is to get above 100.  anything above that is gravy (I think my pb is 180??  30 yrs ago)
  TXC2: sadly we didn't have glurp in the 80s
 BrowneePointz: God I miss Cosmic Bowling
 PharaohBender27: Ooof
 TehAmelie: i can bowl a perfect game any time i like. the secret is, you gotta walk up really close to the pins
 BrowneePointz: was it peak 80/90s? Yes. Was it awesome? Yes
 SymphonySolstice: game hates you
 Lord_Hosk: thats gonna be a tough pick up
  mtvcdm: A little less power will make the ball bite more if you need to curve it; the oil on a lane lessens as you get further down.
 jessicaengle: Is there a cosmic bowling mode?
HiimDant: I feel like this minigame is missing a core part of the bowling experience: early 2000's pop music blaring through the overhead speakers/music videos playing over the pins 
 pleonasticTautology: NICE
DragaFireHawk: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/GrotesqueDeadScorpionPartyTime-_5sN3Os2eohaSeaZ
 BrowneePointz: Early 2000s Pop Music?
 BrowneePointz: Please it needs Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls blaring
 PharaohBender27: 
 SymphonySolstice: lets goo
  mtvcdm: Two
 jessicaengle: YOSH
 adept_nekomancer: You got this!
 Lord_Hosk: I believe
 pleonasticTautology: 👀

blastedman: the adjustment, the finesse

 SymphonySolstice: man
 adept_nekomancer: The one in the middle?!?
DragaFireHawk: robbed
HiimDant: number five has it out for you
  mtvcdm: Again, there's less oil further down and that's why the ball moves more pronounced in the back, there's more friction back there.
 pleonasticTautology: congrats!!!
  mtvcdm: 200 is a VERY good score
 jessicaengle:   
 RockPusher: Emiri is so happy!
 kusinohki: "so I can do THIS" - (misses more pins)
 Boopity: "Wow, you locked tf in at the end there"
 SkylerRingtail: Evening folks. I see Tingle has been replaced with Kiryu this year?
  TXC2: it'll be live
 RockPusher: 
 SymphonySolstice: yesss
  TXC2: CALLED IT !
 pleonasticTautology: 🐓
 adept_nekomancer: The chicken!
 PharaohBender27: 
HiimDant: here he is!
  Juliamon: That brag felt very "I was sandbagging for you"
 SkylerRingtail: Er, afternoon. I suppose
 GrassVortex: 
 jessicaengle: Uhhh
  TXC2: hello SkylerRingtail welcome
 SymphonySolstice: 
 ANeMzero: "It would be hard to get a turkey in Japan" Beej, like 20 minutes ago.
 jessicaengle: 
  mtvcdm: Friend!
 RockPusher: Yakuza does a good chicken
 SymphonySolstice: LOVE that chicken
  TXC2: it's a big chicken to be fair
 Boopity: My greatest regret is not having the nerve to do this and missing this absolute icon and legend
 TehAmelie: did we bring the chicken to life?
 BlueMechanic: they spared no expense on chicken physics
 ANeMzero: They're reusing the model from the farming section of (the original) Ishin
 pleonasticTautology: yeah, bowling alleys have like
 Gekyouryuu: "what am I supposed to do with a live chicken?!" you'll never believe this...
aitsu100: they do have a type of oil
 kusinohki: how hard could it be to put a mo cap suit on a chicken??
 pleonasticTautology: hella hot food
 Getter404: No cleaver but you can just brain them with a pin
 TehAmelie: anything goes in the back of the bowling alley
 Coloneljesus: that's how fried chicken always works
 jessicaengle: >:(
 DeM0nFiRe: 
 jessicaengle: His face 
HiimDant: "listen man, I just work here"
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/AuspiciousHardSpindleNomNom-Jh-ftLYYp5wO-Zig
 Boopity: Because they're all poultry Beej 
  Juliamon: bonding...
 jessicaengle: Oh no he's getting attached to the chicken
 SymphonySolstice: chicken is now friend
AniLunchbox: which job is the chicken best boy for? Can't remember
 BrowneePointz: Okay I gotta say, seeing Babyface Kiryu is hitting me with the shimmy
 iris_of_ether: Emiri!
  TXC2: she grew up on a poultry farm, so she can probably tell the sex but not the species 
 kusinohki: isn't there a chicken who is ceo of a company in this game??
 iris_of_ether: Nugget!
 pleonasticTautology: nugget!
 RockPusher: This chicken… will manage my property portfolio!
 NightValien28: AniLunchbox a manager
 accountmadeforants: Finally, the best character is here
 adept_nekomancer: Best manager!
 TehAmelie: i'm making chili con pollo over here. what a coincidence
 iris_of_ether:   
 SymphonySolstice: I trust nugget with my finances
 NightValien28: nuggets has a BA in economics
 NonjaBiru: Chicken get!
 Bruceski: @kusinohki Different game. Like a Dragon
 BrowneePointz: @kusinohki this is a prequel to the rest
 RockPusher: Nugget is an excellent manager
AniLunchbox: worth every penny of that $300K
  TXC2: 300K yen is $1500 usd
 Getter404: In LAD that chicken performs SURPRISINGLY well at press conferences
 TehAmelie: how much did we spend to win that bird, 1500 yen?
 pleonasticTautology: @Getter404 wh. what?
 RockPusher: oh right, 0
 RockPusher: "Why are the Dojima attacking Kiryu?"
 TehAmelie: p. cheap
 Boopity: @pleonasticTautology Shareholder meetings
 SymphonySolstice: small price to pay for chicken
  mtvcdm: A 15 dollar chicken's not bad
 adept_nekomancer: ~15 USD for a chicken is decent
 pleonasticTautology: @Boopity how?????????
  mtvcdm: Had that been an actual turkey, $15 also not bad either
  TXC2: this is the 80's, so that was probably closer to $4 usd
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/ElatedUgliestWeaselDoritosChip-4O1YcwMYM3bvJdqG
 BrowneePointz: @pleonasticTautology this series started Semi-Serious and rapidly went into goofball mode
 accountmadeforants: Regular amounts of gore, the usual
 ANeMzero: @Getter404 Omlette from LAD (Yakuza 7) is also canonically a descendent of Nugget
  Juliamon: It's still pretty brutal
 pleonasticTautology: @ANeMzero awwwww
  mtvcdm: 1500 yen to get a chicken and we just made 9 million yen
 Getter404: So no shoving a firecracker into someone's mouth, got it
 iris_of_ether: Bawk.
 Boopity: @pleonasticTautology To be fair, in that same game you can also employ a chimp, and a giant roomba, both of which are also quite good 
 jessicaengle: 
 accountmadeforants: "Is your gore normal? Talk to your doctor about getting your gore checked"
 pleonasticTautology: @Boopity i. okay,
aitsu100: nice
 adept_nekomancer: Nice.
 pleonasticTautology: nice
 farley_f: nice share
 Boopity: Nice
 RockPusher: time to kick the gambling kings ass
 adept_nekomancer: The chicken knows how to take care of a nest egg.
  TXC2: about $25-$50 for that drink 
 Getter404: So much garbage...
 Getter404: I think 6 was the peak of that then they started scaling back once they realized they'd have to re-negotiate for every re-release?
  mtvcdm: Like in so many other video games, you beat someone up and they turn into money
 ANeMzero: Nah, they've been doing real life stuff for a while. Even the original Ishin, which was before 0 and takes place in the Meiji restoration, managed to fit in product placement for real resturaunt chains
 accountmadeforants: I feel like very few things worth more than 10,000 yen in the 80's could fit in a vending machine alongside a bunch of other faff. Aside from maybe 11,000 yen in notes.
glitched_goddess: dude got huffy’d lol
 Getter404: Like 6 you had the licensed gym chain as a minigame
 2Flower: Is it a pancake mix?
 Gekyouryuu: Toughnezz
 ANeMzero: Yakuza 5 also had banner ads for AMD
 Getter404: 5 had the sidequest where you go fishing with the owner of Sushi Zanmai
 PharaohBender27: @2Flower 
 2Flower: @PharaohBender27 
 TehAmelie: i can't imagine they had vending machines that could accept bills in the 80s, gotta be 10,000 in coins
 pleonasticTautology: imagine a hamburger
 TehAmelie: or 1 million in coins!
 adept_nekomancer: That's worth roughly 470 chickens, at the rate we paid
  mtvcdm: Gambling!
 Getter404: Flashing back to those old BBC tech shows where they'd describe a computer's memory in terms of how many phone books it could hold
HiimDant: the definition of Locked In
  TXC2: the writing DOWN throw for a bit until I remember how Japanese works 
 Getter404: I mean...
  TXC2: *threw
 ANeMzero: JCC is Sexy Rock Paper Scissors.
HiimDant: yeah, this was an odd duel...
 ANeMzero: Yakuza Kiwami adapted the JCC mechanics into a bug collecting arcade game, but sexy bug collecting.
 Boopity: 
 adept_nekomancer: We have to defend the chicken's job!
HiimDant: Nugget is a vital part of this business
 Getter404: @ANeMzero A bug game that was a barely altered version of a REAL LIFE bug game

 PharaohBender27: Why do I smell a trap . . .?

 RockPusher: "less weird than the beetle fighting" is not a high bar

 ANeMzero: guns are legal if you get them from gambling
 ScrapyardGhostTrain: Guns. The only thing you *can't* get out of a Japanese vending machine.
Dalevich: apparently they have an aversion to neckwear
 Boopity: It's legal if you're yakuza 
  TXC2: some of the strictest guns law in the world

 loufghyslaufey:  how could this happen to me 
 Boopity: @jessicaengle Car setup too fast and unstable

 loufghyslaufey: No wonder this course is fancy, tbh
 loufghyslaufey: Its almost kinda rigged
 Boopity: 
  mtvcdm: Stability seems to be a real bugaboo with this thing.
  TXC2: I don't like that it seems to skip animating on the loop-de-loop
 loufghyslaufey: The perfect childhood trap
 Gekyouryuu: one of my favorite things about this mini-game is someone posted an irl video of a very slow windup bot being put on a track like this, barely moving, then watching a car make a full lap and run it off the course, someone replied with the gif of Kiryu agonizing over a defeat here, prompting OP to wonder how anyone had such a specific response gif just on hand.

glitched_goddess: his uncle works for Nintendo
 PharaohBender27: GET REKT KID
 jessicaengle: 
  mtvcdm: We embarrassed that child good
 Myrniss: and in 10 years time that kid will have his bloody revenge
 RockPusher: Mika knows what she wants
 Gekyouryuu: 2005
HiimDant: you were having so much more fun when you were a scrub like us!
 Gekyouryuu: tbf for Yakuza 1, it's 10 years later after Kiryu went to prison, not 10 years after this game takes place
 Gekyouryuu: Kiryu goes to prison in 95
 RockPusher: 0 is a prequel in the sense it is written afterwards providing history to existing characters from earlier games
 adept_nekomancer: Putting a chicken in charge of the track.
HiimDant: believe it!
 Boopity: In some ways, 0 made some characters _too good_, because many of them end up being underwhelmingly irrelevant in the later games 
Dalevich: the real victory is the something something we somethinged along the way
 jessicaengle: Little Johnny wanted to dress himself like a big boy today
 Gekyouryuu: also, the thought occurs: lapping a kid is like the really old rules for distance horse racing, where you're instantly disqualified if you end up a Distance (more than 10 lengths) away from the lead horse.
 Gekyouryuu: anyone who's played Uma Musume, the guaranteed SSR phrase "Eclipse First, the Rest Nowhere" refers to a phrase from an old race horse named Eclipse who would run SO fast that EVERYONE would be disqualified
HiimDant: everyone knows putting flames on the car makes it go faster 
Dalevich: can you get speed holes for your car?
 sunmare_bahamut: but warhammer 40k teach me that red make you go faster

 spicyFerret_: Who up calving they klein?
Dalevich: @spicyFerret_ it was a collapsing ice cliff in boxers briefs
  TXC2: Calvin and Klein is a very odd comic strip
Dalevich: @TXC2 but an amazing cop show

  TXC2: that might be an option lrrbot
  mtvcdm: Katana feels viable in this context
 spicyFerret_: Have we tried melee weaponry?
 rXpCH: Isnt it more important to see the time for several lap instead of the just one since it is a long race?
 rXpCH: Makes sense
HiimDant: hehe... 67...
 Boopity: And in space
  Juliamon: They explicitly had his permission
 spicyFerret_: @HiimDant 
 NonjaBiru: Wasn't MJ a fan of Sega and did songs for one of the Sonic games?
Dalevich: Ready 2 Rumble 2 (I think) had him as a fighter, which was really weird.
  Juliamon: He did uncredited music for them
 Boopity: For Space Channel 5, apparently he saw a prototype and asked to be added. It was late into development, so he only made a cameo, but in the second game, they pretty much expanded him into an entire main cast character 
Dalevich: as nice touch though, they did give him a single diamond encrusted boxing glove
  TXC2: right chat I'm off
 Boopity: Have a good night @TXC2 !
  TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Beej and Heather, and Merry Christmas
Dalevich: take it easy @TXC2
 PharaohBender27: Goodnight, TXC2!
 spicyFerret_: I wanna snuggle a stuffed mega drive lmao
 r10pez10: hello majima fans
Dalevich: I really wanted to get into these games, people seem to really dig them but I tried one and all I remember is that I helped a pimp out and had a lot of fights in the street. Maybe I should try again.
  mtvcdm: Self-care can be expensive
  mtvcdm: Go beat someone up for it
  mtvcdm: If short on cash just punch someone
HiimDant: I wish I could pay me to make me fight better. but then again I've never had quite this much money to pay myself, so maybe I just haven't done that hard enough
 Boopity: Respect the VEND
Dalevich: "get that guy, oh wait....he's using a vending machine"
Dalevich: there are just some lines that should never be crossed, I guess.
HiimDant: punchin the money right out of them
 RockPusher: now now, rendering incapacitated
 RockPusher: Kiryu doesn't kill people
 RockPusher: in spite of appearances
WookieCookie64: Chat, you want some potatoes? Apparently, everyone in my family brought potatoes because they forgot I already did them and no one was talking to each other.
 RockPusher: potatoes many ways
WookieCookie64: No, they are all boiled and mashed...
AnDagda: I'm Irish, so yes, I'll have potatoes please
 Bruceski: boiled, mashed, put in a stew...
Dalevich: hm, turns out I have Like a Dragon in my ps5 library. I'll give it a whirl.
 Brozard: It’s Fr-Thursday Night

 loufghyslaufey: Bye. (Kiryu peaces out)
 RockPusher: You're only slightly buzzed

 RockPusher: gotta get turnt to really make it hard to walk
 RockPusher: Drunk darts is fun
 Serpens77: who knew Kiryu was such a diva?
 BlueMechanic: this is making menostalgic for Elite Beat Agents
Dalevich: ooh, sassy
 RockPusher: I love how angry the little dance ghost seems
 jessicaengle: @Serpens77 Did you see him lose to the kids at the soapbox derby track?
 RockPusher: It *is* disco
 Serpens77: @RockPusher is it a ghost because, as we all know, disco is dead?
Dalevich: Disco is NOT dead
 RockPusher: Serpens77 maybe that's why they are so angry
 RockPusher:  
 GrassVortex:  
 Boopity: God, I forgot how much these songs slap
 accountmadeforants: This sounds incredibly familiar
 iris_of_ether: Kinda vibes of Bowie's Let's Dance
 accountmadeforants: Oh yeah exactly
 Bruceski: Yeah the backbeat is Let's Dance
 accountmadeforants: It's in EBA yeah
 Bruceski: It was in EBA
 iris_of_ether: I *completely* forgot about that
 Boopity: People have noted that a lot of the disco songs are pretty much one-to-one legally distinct versions of something or other 
 BlueMechanic: Let's Dance was produced by Nile Rogers from Chic
 iris_of_ether: 
Dalevich: 
Despoiler98:  
Dezufnocosem: I don't know what you're talking about, these are legit original Miracle Johnson songs
 Bruceski: Not just disco. The whole folk rock genre is people writing songs for other people and a third person overhearing it and saying "hey can I use that".
Dalevich:  
 iris_of_ether: So. "Hot Stuff" or something else?
 RockPusher: I think Venus
 iris_of_ether: Oh, yeah, I can see that
HiimDant: once you lose your groove, there's just no getting it back
Dezufnocosem: only play rhythm games on a 0 latency CRT with gold plated cables
Dalevich: it doesn't seem much like a rhythm game, more like a game of snake.
 Boopity: It's definitely an interesting mix of a rhythm game and... something else?? Whatever genre snake is 
Despoiler98: the vocals for this song do not match the music
 RockPusher: "Rhythm Snake" seems like a really clean pitch for a rhythm game 
 Boopity: Oh my god, it really is
 Boopity: We already had Rhythm Thief, now get ready for the sequel, Rhythm Snake 
  Juliamon: Rhythm Snake is a flash game
Dalevich: Rhythm Snake would be a good name for a gentleman's club such as the Blue Oyster or Tool Box
 adept_nekomancer: @Dalevich The Dangernoodle Dance Club
Dalevich: @adept_nekomancer noice
  Juliamon: also I'm pretty sure it was on Rhythm Cafe because it looks *very* familiar
 PharaohBender27: 
 Boopity: Gaming!
 Boopity: Yeah, some of the patterns feel really nice to pull off once you identify them 
 RockPusher: No shortage of mini games to play
 azureHaights: Ah yes, "Aphrodite" by Plantain-inator
 Phailhammer: "Dame da ne~"
 jessicaengle:   
 RockPusher: I don't know if Kiryu is old enough to be a fool yet
 Boopity: @RockPusher Does himbo count?
 Phailhammer: You can be a fool at any age.
 jessicaengle:   
 Phailhammer: @RockPusher Oh, I think I just got what you meant. 
 jessicaengle:   
 Boopity: Daamn, fever-locked at the last minute, rude
 accountmadeforants: How could this happen to me...
 Boopity: Yeah, it's because the game times the prompts to the beat, so there is actually variable delay depending on when you activate it (and in this case, locks it out at the end)
 RockPusher: Someone applied the cool patch to the fever 
 jessicaengle: Maybe the chicken knows how to disco.
 jessicaengle: Ducks can do it.
 azureHaights: I think you might have the money
 Boopity: This one stressed me out so much every time I attempted it 
 adept_nekomancer: The first rule of Yakuza fight club is you pay 100,000 yen to be part of fight club.
 RockPusher: it's keepaway
  mtvcdm: We're playing Jake Paul Simulator
 PharaohBender27: @mtvcdm Oh SNAP
MalFnord: @mtvcdm 
 RockPusher: 
 RockPusher: impeccable footsies
 Boopity: It's Rush mode training basically, since Rush mode is the "dodge-y agile style"
 accountmadeforants: I kinda wish your opponent would knock out the ring of bystanders 
 Boopity: @accountmadeforants RGG, write that down for Kiwami 0 
 accountmadeforants: "How many concentric circles on you my dude"
 azureHaights: I have many circles! They're rings under the eyes, but
 jessicaengle: By how many circles of hell they have unlocked? 
 RockPusher: I mean, at this stage of life Kiryu kinda *is* a street punk
 Boopity: Ah yes, the Dark Souls strat
 azureHaights: The bitrate's all fucky on the timer once it hits pink, I keep thinking it's pausing on you
  mtvcdm: Ate a couple shots but nothing major
 azureHaights: Inadequate Circles

 TheMerricat: Beej even
 azureHaights: d'oh! jima family!
 RockPusher: Ian has played a lot more hours of these games
 Boopity: It's also a bit more egregious because of the turn-based combat in the later games imo
  mtvcdm: Beej just described capitalism. Why bother fighting guys if you can make money in the stock market.
 RockPusher: Omelet… Fried Chicken… what will Nugget think 
  Juliamon: RockPusher "Thank god it's not me"
 PharaohBender27: @RockPusher Nugget doesn't have to know . . .

 RockPusher: Oh good, you can bakamitai
 VorlonScout: Suddenly I feel like the stream is ending
  mtvcdm: i love the cd hat
 accountmadeforants: We're doing the thing, the thing!
AnDagda: This song is a legit banger, all memes aside
 ANeMzero: Yeah, this was the second game with Baka Mitai, which is weird to think about when it's now inexorably linked to Kiryu's story.
 PharaohBender27: When did this become a music video?
 ANeMzero: All the karaoke songs have a video about half way through
 Gekyouryuu: that's the short version of the song. I don't know if you CAN play the full version
  mtvcdm: 98 is darned fine tootin
 ANeMzero: I don't think the extended version even existed before Infinite Wealth
 PharaohBender27: Oi! Oi!
 RockPusher:    
 azureHaights: Q!
 Boopity: Kiryu...
 Gekyouryuu: @ANeMzero wait... how many Yakuza games were out before 0 came out?
 RockPusher: BABY
 ANeMzero: @Gekyouryuu 1-5, Dead Souls, Kenzan, Ishin and Black Panther 1&2
 Gekyouryuu: wow
 TheMerricat: Every time this mechanic pops up I feel like I'm listening to old awkward uncle cheering on his niece
 azureHaights: 29 miku? surely it's 39 miku
 ANeMzero: 5 was the first with Baka Mitai, Ishin released between 5 and 0 without it, but Ishin Kiwami (the newer remake that got an international release) added it in.
 Gekyouryuu: @ANeMzero also, I know the full version of the song at least existed as a soundtrack song, because I found it on youtube 8 years ago
 RockPusher:    
 jessicaengle: So is this main character the same main character in the other Yakuza games?
  mtvcdm: hey hey hey hey
 RockPusher: jessicaengle Kiryu is the protagonist of 0-6, yes
 ANeMzero: @jessicaengle For most of them. 7 stars Ichiban Kasuga, 8 is dual protag of Ichiban and Kiryu. Ishin and Kenzan take place in historical settings but basically just replace historical characters with Kiryu.
 accountmadeforants: This must've been a ton of fun to record
fonkoncle: one of majima's first lines of dialogue being telling someone he'd rather drink his own hot piss is one of the funniest things
 Boopity: Majima's songs in particular are great, because they straight up just don't care about musicality. There are songs where he is just screaming out of tune and off beat 
 ArcOfTheConclave: why can't you sing most of the songs?
fonkoncle: WE ARE BAD BOYS
Dalevich:  I see a red door....
 idontgetmyrealname: oh hey my favorite karoke song from infinite wealth
 PharaohBender27: 
 azureHaights: Karaproke
 Boopity: WOW
 ANeMzero: Fun fact: in Infinite Wealth Kiryu does a Judgment Shinpan duet with Ichiban, who has the same voice actor as Nishkiyama (the guy he's dancing with in 0)
 RockPusher: BABY Hold
 ANeMzero: I still can't believe the Tiltystreams didn't catch BABY until Ishin. 0 has so many.
 RockPusher: ANeMzero sometimes it takes the braincells a while to meme something 
 Boopity: This is genuinely a bop 
 Boopity: There is an infamous interjection in one of the newest games, where Ichiban just talks about his dishwasher
HiimDant: Gambling!
 RockPusher: Ichiban is a dork. But he's our dork. 
 azureHaights: Mr. Moneybags, aka Rich Uncle Monopoly
 SquareDotCube: Has Been tried playing the mini games while Kiryu or Majima is drunk?
 RockPusher: Drunk darts are the best
 azureHaights: is Been what happens when ben beejdrops or when beej bendrops
HiimDant: "I went to a place with a no-touching policy, and then I broke the no-touching policy, and they kicked me out!"
 azureHaights: "punch me in my perfect jawline!"
 RockPusher: Punch me so I can eat 3 full meals in one sittin!
 jessicaengle: They're like pinatas that are stuffed with folding money
HiimDant: so much to do, so much to see
 Gekyouryuu: "Man, I'm really in the mood for a nice bowl of ramen with a side of pork. .....quick, someone punch me so I can eat!"
 DeM0nFiRe: I feel like if the term collectathon wasn't already used to refer to like Super Mario 64, people would use it for Yakuza
 yunapaluza: Have you defeated Mr. Shakedown yet?
 RockPusher: and now, this clown 
 accountmadeforants: As a reward for completing your checklist, you get another checklist.
 RockPusher: Gotta keep those salarymen entertained for the entire year, Beej
 Gekyouryuu: thanks for reminding me, Beej, I gotta do my dailies in Mahjong Soul
 RockPusher: It's the only game they are allowed!
Snowwraith: A little portal into the past.

  mtvcdm: I dunno, if I'm paid by the hour
 adept_nekomancer: @PharaohBender27 "Sorry, genuine smiles are a premium service."
  mtvcdm: All I gotta do is smile all day instead of doing actual work and I get paid the same
Jensling: iirc theres a reverse isekai manga where an elf goes to smile burger and orders 20 of them "since they're free" and gets a light scolding from the protag for not realizing that's basically harassment
 PharaohBender27: Yeah but surely your cheeks would get tired after a while
 PharaohBender27: Preach!
 adept_nekomancer: Service work is difficult enough, don't make it more difficult.
MTigress: i think my fav thing from this game is Pocket Circuit because Sega more or less built it to be an accurate legally-distinct unlicensed Tamiya Mini 4WD experience
 adept_nekomancer: 
 Serpens77: as an Australian, the concept of anything "not having spiders" is foreign to me 
offbeatwitch: there is one step, and it IS crab

 adept_nekomancer: A spider is just a small crab that can spin webs.

 accountmadeforants: Doesn't that one YouTube guy have an energy drink that sells for 6~10 dollars?
 accountmadeforants: (Or like a group of "that one YouTube guy"s, anyway)
 PharaohBender27: 20 years? Damn
Laserbeaks_Fury: "You're that guy who runs away from his debts? No reason in particular I'm asking..."
 RockPusher: 2 guys and an office to wreck
Laserbeaks_Fury: Now it's a Tower Offense game
 adept_nekomancer: Yeah, that guy's dead
Izandai: Reminder that Kiryu has never killed anyone.
 PharaohBender27: 
 raulghoulia: maybe you take all the blood to the blood bank and cash out?
Laserbeaks_Fury: I was gonna say it's funny you beat up guys and money explodes from them like pinatas, but Moblins have been dropping rupees for 40 years
Lysander_salamander: ueugh
 RockPusher: Good thing Kiryu is resistant to non-plot bullets
 MaladyDark: interesting that pistol aims, vs machine gun not
 loufghyslaufey:  "I'll Make a Hitman Outta You..." 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Pretty sure hes resistant to plot bullets too
Despoiler98: man I wish i could get paid thousands of dollars smashing crates over test dummy's heads
Despoiler98:   
Despoiler98: 
 Bruceski: lube?
aerohydra: something in a yakuza game, taking forever, say it aint so
 accountmadeforants: Space Harrier
 accountmadeforants: 
 SquareDotCube: Bowling? Batting?
 PharaohBender27: @SquareDotCube We *started* with bowling
 PharaohBender27: Nooooo, not Nugget!
 SquareDotCube: Oh ok, I wasn't here for tht
 Boopity: Yeah, the real estate minigame is pretty unengaging compared to Majima's counterpart
MTigress: Fantasy Zone
 RockPusher: Remember the property market is hot enough to kill over
 SquareDotCube: @Boopity It's also the best way to generate passive income
 accountmadeforants: I forget if this Yakuza has the Sonic boxing game, but that's also a fun one. (I don't think so, since it wouldn't match up with the time period.)
 ANeMzero: I always wonder how many side characters are references I don't get. Like, Miracle Johnson is Michael Jackson, Stephen Spinning is Steven Speilberg, but what about the rest.
1 raiders from Shurtal have joined!
 SquareDotCube: Maxed out you get about a billion yen total through collections
 PharaohBender27: Ahoy-hoy, raiders!
 Boopity: @SquareDotCube It is, yeah, but I always found it mildly disappointing that it is basically an idle game, meanwhile Majima's cabaret minigame is beloved for being surprisingly addictive
 SquareDotCube: It does have a side effect where "security" that's your team will jump in during random fights
 accountmadeforants: For a moment I misread that screen and thought the skill was just called "Money". The picture certainly fit
 RockPusher: Beej investing in himself this Christmas 
 accountmadeforants: (The shakedown one)
 PharaohBender27: Oh no, now Beej is only slightly a multimillionaire! 
 adept_nekomancer: Nugget is a license to print money
 SquareDotCube: The rush mode dodges can get a little wild
 accountmadeforants: "You throw money into your personal money vortex"
Lysander_salamander: Was the tutorial guy supposed to be a reference to Christopher Walken?
Lysander_salamander: intense
ProfessorFalconer is gifting 5 Tier 1 Subs to LoadingReadyRun's community! They've gifted a total of 5 in the channel!
ProfessorFalconer gifted a Tier 1 sub to Officinalis!
ProfessorFalconer gifted a Tier 1 sub to amospiritus!
ProfessorFalconer gifted a Tier 1 sub to viviwinter!
ProfessorFalconer gifted a Tier 1 sub to 42MiLLyWays!
ProfessorFalconer gifted a Tier 1 sub to theroad0!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for the gifts, ProfessorFalconer! Welcome to Officinalis, amospiritus, viviwinter, 42MiLLyWays, and theroad0! (Today's storm count: 59)
 accountmadeforants: 
MTigress: Kiryu does everything to the extreme
 Boopity: He is the greatest dork, which contrasts hilariously with the very serious main story
 RockPusher: NZ on a map, how odd
  mtvcdm: I was never good at Hang-On
Lysander_salamander: I remember playing games like this in the arcade, where the motorcycle can pivot for steering
MTigress: ouch
TheTekkieman: Oh well. Doubled your last score, basically.
 RockPusher: gotta make you want to spend the next coin
MTigress: Fantasy Zone is 
 Boopity: The Mahjong, is REAL!
 SquareDotCube: I got to play FZERO AX this year at uses a limited gyroscopic tilt to simulate track changes and forces... It's a bit hectic without belts
 PharaohBender27: You know, I keep hearing about how clean Japan allegedly is, and yet I'm seeing an awful lot of trash on these streets . . .
Lysander_salamander: Like from Highlander
 RockPusher: You don't keep a katana in *your* pants, Beej?
 raulghoulia: where do you keep your katana?
MTigress: Fantasy Zone is basically Yakuza, if Yakuza was a silly space ship shooty game. shoot enemies for money, buy upgrades in shops, repeat.
 RealGamerCow: much less piss smell in the alleys in Japan in my experience
 SquareDotCube: @PharaohBender27 Yeah it's based on Kabuki-cho, it's not the nicest part of Tokyo and the locals know that
 RockPusher: this is mean't to be a seedy part of town in a seedy time
 loufghyslaufey: Wait, why? Did my message do something wrong?
 loufghyslaufey:  S E G A 
 accountmadeforants: 
  Juliamon: I dunno why that got flagged
 loufghyslaufey: Kay, thanks
 RockPusher:    
 raulghoulia: company went down hill when each game didn't begin with S E GA
  Juliamon: maybe it just looked spammy to automod?
Lysander_salamander: Oh it's a little bit like Stargate Defender
 accountmadeforants:   
 pleonasticTautology: oh sick you're still streaming
 Strebenherz: responding to an earlier part of the stream.  as a not-yakuza player, is the protagonist playing with matchbox racecars as goofy as it sounds?
 Strebenherz: not knocking it, I love that they have that and seemed to like just play it full serious
  mtvcdm: We're turning into disease when we die
 Strebenherz: oh dang okay
 SquareDotCube: Slot cars
 RockPusher: I mean, as goofy as anything else in these games 
MTigress: Pocket Circuit is based on the RL Tamiya Mini 4WD racing
 pleonasticTautology: i just finished watching the wachowskis' first movie
MTigress: the real life version has thousands of customizable parts
 Boopity: I would say the goofiness is present in nearly all of Yakuza's side content, and is the main reason why the main character is so beloved. You get to see his serious side, but also be an absolute lovable goofball in comedic situations, which makes him very lovable 
 SquareDotCube: Careful, you only get one beam
 Strebenherz: gotcha thank you.as a not-yakuza i love how..  hardcore/intense it comes across for everything, even the stuff like that
 RockPusher: Look, we started the stream by accidentally recruiting a literal chicken as a property manager
 Strebenherz: 10/10
 Strebenherz: goty
 accountmadeforants: Early arcade games were pretty wild yeah. There's a reason they basically had a custom circuit (and often cabinet) for each one.
 accountmadeforants: (It's also how you end up with the OG Street Fighter's "premium" pneumatic controls.)
 pleonasticTautology: oh is the arena a cylinder?
  mtvcdm: Did you know the world loops, Heather?
 Strebenherz: does the property manager chicken have lore?  @RockPusher
 GrassVortex: 
 SquareDotCube: The camera doesn't help that much though
 Strebenherz: or just "chicken, don't ask/worry about it"
MTigress: Fantasy Zone got a handful of sequels too :3
 RockPusher: Strebenherz they were being given away as a turkey for a turkey at the bowling alley
  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!)
  Juliamon: Strebenherz the lore is "bowling alley ordered turkeys to give away to anyone who got a turkey, but received live chickens instead
 ANeMzero: @Strebenherz No deep lore in 0, but there is another business chicken in 7 that is a descendant of Nugget.
  Juliamon: "
 accountmadeforants:  
 adept_nekomancer: @Strebenherz Kiryu asked the bowling alley not to cook the chicken, and decided to put her to work as a property manager instead.  Nugget is best property manager.
  mtvcdm: They meant it when they said wide beam
 RockPusher: the mainline story *is* melodrama however, so you'll get very arch and serious themes, brutality and whatnot immediately whiplash into absurdity
 Strebenherz: amazing, thank you all on the nugget lore
 PharaohBender27: 
 accountmadeforants: How have I only now noticed those are waving hands on those structures
 accountmadeforants: Jazz hands protect me!
 ANeMzero: why are we fighting an angry bong
NovaSpecter: That escalated quickly
 richard_ermen: Marry Chrismess!
 RockPusher: for the arcade games you should bust out the fight stick 
 RealGamerCow: That really sounded like the Doom theme
 RockPusher: If the Moonbase had a MAME cabinet, I wonder what the crew would get hooked on trying to 1-up each others scores
 RockPusher: (with Adam and Heather just observing from the sidelines so as not to style on everyone  )
 loufghyslaufey: Imagining a time if SEGA had a store venue out on the West & then Kiryu walks in: (gasps) Look, everyone! Its one of SEGA's Mascots!"
 loufghyslaufey: Kiryu: "Nani!?"
 accountmadeforants: It's time
 RealGamerCow: It would be funny if Beej put "BIJ" as the initials
 GapFiller:  yknow we dont get enough Adam and Heather onstream together in general
 Boopity: let's... HARI
 pleonasticTautology: @loufghyslaufey i mean, there used to be a Gameworks in downtown Seattle, by where PAX was
 GapFiller: too much concentrated gamer power presumably
Despoiler98: This is a real game,
MTigress: @RockPusher i bet everyone could get addicted to dig-dug
Despoiler98: I've played this
 accountmadeforants:      
Lysander_salamander: this does remind me of something
 pleonasticTautology: i love how there's no clear mechanism that's making this teen boy fly
  mtvcdm: Oh right I remember why I never wanted to play this, this looked like way too much nonsense on the screen
Lysander_salamander: isn't there something similar, but you're like, a winged angel or something?
 Boopity: The music is kind of a bop, too bad the sound effects are _far_ too loud 
 pleonasticTautology: unless the gun is making him fly???
 loufghyslaufey: Looks like a grown ass constipated Gohan, kinda?
 adept_nekomancer: Until the dragon showed up, I was kind of getting SNES Star Fox vibes.
Slacker1977: @pleonasticTautology it's probably some sort of Anti-Grav belt
 loufghyslaufey: Geeza!? Get out!
MTigress: @Lysander_salamander Kid Icarus on 3DS muuuuuuuuch later on, perhap?
 accountmadeforants: @Boopity I wonder if that's a Switch thing because I don't remember the mix being this bad normally. (Same with Fantasy Zone)
 RockPusher: ♫ Flash! A-ah! He'll save every one of us! ♫
Despoiler98: This is a real Sega Arcade game from 1985
 Boopity: @accountmadeforants Huh, interesting. I can't remember now whether I had any issues playing on PC...
Lysander_salamander: aaaa
 pleonasticTautology: here's tree
  mtvcdm: Many more battle scenes will soon be available!
 loufghyslaufey: And then someone jn the chat proceeds telling me that Geeza is a "real place..."
Despoiler98: the trees were the real bad guys after all
 pleonasticTautology: i do appreciate that there's a "getting up" animation
Slacker1977: @accountmadeforants  i missed Fantasy Zone? Fantasy Zone 2 was one of my first video games
 RockPusher: PC the arcade games were often quite loud
 RockPusher: Yakuza in general can be quite peaky
 accountmadeforants: @Boopity Okay yeah it sounds a million times better on PC. But the PlayStation version sounds the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhcT502iSRM
 loufghyslaufey: Kind of weird giving them a short running animation when your player input mostly flies
 accountmadeforants: I wonder if they switched emulators for the PC version
 Boopity: @Slacker1977 Indeed, we Fantasy Zoned a few minutes ago
Slacker1977: how would Opa-Opa say it though?
 Boopity: @accountmadeforants Huh, that's wild. I wonder if it's because they fixed it for the PC port, but used the console base for the Switch version
 loufghyslaufey: Is this like a "Turbo situation" like in Wreck-It-Ralph?
 accountmadeforants: Oh no it's just random bullshit go. That's what you're here for.
  mtvcdm: I don't feel this is a game I could be good at so much as this is a game I could eventually manage to miraculously avoid things for a while
Slacker1977: can you invert it?
 Strebenherz: we have dragonball at home
 accountmadeforants: @Boopity I assume that's what happened yeah.
  mtvcdm: Space Harrier, overrated in the test of time to be perfectly frank
 Boopity: Get absolutely tree'd
 loufghyslaufey: Did SEGA actually used to code games like this?
 SquareDotCube: Y is reverse switch
MTigress: @loufghyslaufey yes, and they were VERY big
 accountmadeforants: @accountmadeforants Oh, apparently the PC version also doesn't have the CRT filters and the like. So they're definitely different emulators. (But the PC one is clearly better for sound reproduction)
Slacker1977: @loufghyslaufey oh yeah. they were actually technical powerhouses in the arcade for a while
 Boopity: @accountmadeforants Ohhh, interesting. Today I learned
  mtvcdm: Ahhhhhh, okay, we're just looking for a point total and get out
 loufghyslaufey: @Slacker1977 Oh, I actually meant if they used to invert their controls midgame?
MTigress: fun fact, Fantasy Zone made it to both Famicom and NES in different ports by different companies that licensed the game
 ANeMzero: The Master System port included 3D glasses for some much needed depth perception... for people with depth perception.
Slacker1977: @loufghyslaufey oh, probably not then. i never played this in it's day but that wasn't a thing i recall from other games
 loufghyslaufey: What? No Coin For YOU, game!
 RealGamerCow: @ANeMzero I remember that now, it gave me such a headache
Lysander_salamander: Wasn't there also an underground fight club where you bet on women in mascot costumes?
 loufghyslaufey: Waitwait, hold up.
 PharaohBender27: How many redshirts does the Dojima family have!?
 GapFiller: Lysander_salamander one of the first places we visited earlier yes
Lysander_salamander: I'll have to find that game eventually
 loufghyslaufey: Something's been missing during this playthrough.
 accountmadeforants: Let's see if that Unbeatable batting game experience translates to Yakuza
Slacker1977: @Lysander_salamander is that where that Mascot Agency game got it's inspiration from? 🤔
 loufghyslaufey: Something... or someone very importent.
Lysander_salamander: No Roll it on Top or Forklift Racing in this game
TheTekkieman: One thing I wish they added to this minigame for the Cut was the music they put in later for baseball.
 Boopity: This minigame was _impossibly_ difficult for me
 loufghyslaufey: Its okay, Beej. I can think of at least one anime character who's also bad at the batting range.
Lysander_salamander: Oh right, Aggro Crab is making a forklift game
 RockPusher: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/6d4683c8bf54.jpg
 accountmadeforants: I found out some more interesting stuff about the emulators between the console and PC versions: The console version of Fantasy Zone has turbo fire enabled, while the PC version uses the original arcade game (which makes things a bit harder, unless you don't mess around with Steam Input to give yourself a turbo fire button anyway  )
 loufghyslaufey: Okay, its Saber. I did wait for chat to bring up someone else
  mtvcdm: Calling his shot like he thinks he's something
 accountmadeforants: *(Skip the "don't" there)
  mtvcdm: Just missed
 accountmadeforants: I forget which Yakuza game Adam ended up playing but he spent like half of his total playtime playing the batting game.
 TheDevil_Risen: Merry Christmas everybody!
 Boopity: @accountmadeforants It was indeed this very minigame 
  mtvcdm: Most batting cages don't take your remaining balls away if you don't hit them well enough
 Boopity: @TheDevil_Risen Merry crimmas!
 TheDevil_Risen: Heya Heather/Beej  thanks for the streaming!!!
 loufghyslaufey: Ooh! An unorthodox Co-op? Spicy, no?
 accountmadeforants: @Boopity Okay yeah I remember, it was the schoolgirl underwear quest that caused him to give up. So it was definitely Yakuza 0.
 TheDevil_Risen: batter batter battter batter SWIGN!
Raincoast_Bear: Ah, Xmas batting practice with the Derys. The new LRR holiday tradition. 
 TheDevil_Risen: oh, wrong game
 adept_nekomancer: @TheDevil_Risen Unbeatable has been amazing so far though
 PharaohBender27: Rotate the streamers!
 TheDevil_Risen: @adept_nekomancer im loving it 
 PharaohBender27: 
 TheDevil_Risen: awww the santa pikachu is cuteeee
 SquareDotCube: You might be fighting motion controls, too
 TheDevil_Risen: awwww
 Strebenherz: daww
 RockPusher: it's a good pikachu
 PharaohBender27: 
 accountmadeforants: It's nowhere near as good as Prison Ball
 Boopity: Those balls were sure doing something
 Boopity: Respect
 Travilogue: Very.... interesting.... physics in unbeatable
 accountmadeforants: The balls in Yakuza 0 aren't covered in WD-40, 0/0
 accountmadeforants: 0/10
 accountmadeforants: rather
 Travilogue: (they get episode select working in unbeatable though)
 Travilogue: *did get
 RockPusher: I think you can also buy appetite enhancing drugs
  mtvcdm: The game reminding you that the main quest is a real thing and you should, eventually, try it sometime
 accountmadeforants: Main quest? What kinda minigame is that? Does it have a checklist?
 SquareDotCube: It's alright, but it's pretty clear the three tracks are demo tracks
  mtvcdm: This is a thing where you actually really need to know some geometry to be really good at it
  mtvcdm: At a certain level, any kind of billiards turns into a geometry puzzle
 PharaohBender27: @mtvcdm Math!? 
  mtvcdm: Had he sunk the 8 we would have just won
 adept_nekomancer: Sinking 8 too early is an auto-loss, if I recall
  mtvcdm: I'm not gonna lie this is looking bad for our heroes
 SquareDotCube: @adept_nekomancer However if it's a combo shot it's both the end of the game and that player wins
 e_bloc: a ball in hand is worth two in the pocket
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: "Went for and got."
  mtvcdm: Look, we didn't get shut out
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: "Princess (sic) of the planet potters . . ." </Red Dwarf>
 PharaohBender27: "You're not taking pity on us, are you?"
 SquareDotCube: If you want to be cunning you could set up a combo shot after a foul and steal the win
 SquareDotCube: So you can change the camera to top down to better align shots
  mtvcdm: The absolute comeback trail
 PharaohBender27: 
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Oh, I would have been beaten with the fat ends of cues if I'd tried to play scratch rules like this minigame
16AngryBears: Never didn't have it!
 kusinohki: why is missing the 8 ball a foul?  don't think I've ever played that way (not that I actually know 'official' rules)
  mtvcdm: Tatsuya gonna be like HOW THE HELL DID I LOSE THAT
 e_bloc: thats how you get glassed irl
 RockPusher: we take those Ws around here
 e_bloc: they don't ask how, only how many
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @kusinohki the official rules have changed a fair bit over time, haven't they?
 SquareDotCube: Carom and combo is pretty much "how good am I at vector physics"
 e_bloc: are we trying to get our wickets sticky
 e_bloc: I spent way too much time playing darts and mahjong in infinite wealth
 PharaohBender27: 
 PharaohBender27: Oh so a dart shark
 Strebenherz: that's valid
 accountmadeforants: The way you're playing you'll almost certainly stumble upon everything  (I can say from experience.)
 ANeMzero: Some of the later games include unlockable novelty darts, like throwing forks, pencils, roses.
 kusinohki: and now kazuma has to run to the car and get an adrenaline shot and a defib shock to off set the poison in that drink.
 NotCainNorAbel: I think this drink was laced
 e_bloc: he slipped you a mickey
 e_bloc: or is this just what buzzballs do
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: In my disgraceful youth we attempted to play darts in the ninth pub. It was not a good idea.
 e_bloc: nine pubs, respect
 accountmadeforants: "You are already dart" -This guy, probably
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @e_bloc Oh, no. It was terrible, A bunch of hammered 9 year olds who kept hitting the pant in the windowsill to the side.
 TheDevil_Risen: o7
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: *plant
Desruprot: oh nice Yakuza
 e_bloc: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving 9 year olds?
 BrowneePointz: which ones had Karaoke?
 TheDevil_Risen: money back 
 TheDevil_Risen: GG
Desruprot: easy
 adept_nekomancer: Lose money in darts?  Just beat up the rich to get it back.
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @e_bloc Oh, crap. 19. I really must finish fixing my good keyboard.
 Myrniss: So that's like $51k USD 0_o
 PharaohBender27: In before  just randomly steps into the office during Mahjong 
 e_bloc: the only thing worse than someone stealing all your money is watching them immediately lose it to a dart shark
Slacker1977: @Myrniss even more i think since this is set in the 80s 
 e_bloc: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving I was a bit concerned for a second 
  mtvcdm: I mean you could just beat them up and then they'll stop chasing you
 kusinohki: can you wait for the dart shark to leave and then beat them up to get your money back??
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @e_bloc It was a while ago. Nine year olds were only allowed lager shandy back then. 
  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!)
 e_bloc: argue about  money
Desruprot: Nugget, the richest chicken we know
 PharaohBender27: @Desruprot Named so because they're as valuable as a gold nugget!
MTigress: imagine if learning fighting techniques worked like this irl, where you have to dump money into each move to master it
 PharaohBender27: @MTigress Ugh, it'd mean the class disparity would be even worse than it already is
MTigress: indeed
 PharaohBender27: Because in such a world Jeff Bezos could just outright Hadouken you
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @PharaohBender27 I live near a very prestigious private school. Given their sports programme, it's already literally the case
 RockPusher: back-alley literal mushrooms
 e_bloc: you can't just show everyone all your mushrooms
 PharaohBender27: BEEJ
 accountmadeforants: Yakuza quests? Ridiculous? Never
 Strebenherz: PFFT
 accountmadeforants: 
 RockPusher: oh right, the collectables in 0
 Strebenherz: Heather's face
 e_bloc: if you collect them all you can sing mambo no. 5
 PharaohBender27: Beej, your wife is RIGHT THERE
 accountmadeforants: Gotta show your wife your collection
 iris_of_ether: 
 SquareDotCube: BTW, all these women are characters in the game that you meet in some manner.
 PharaohBender27: @SquareDotCube Right, we spoke with an Erika earlier and I was like, "What an unexpected name for this setting"
 Strebenherz: "BATTLE TESTED DARTS" 
 PharaohBender27: Oh, the belt you wrap around your belly or chest under your clothes? I actually used something like that when I last traveled abroad
definenull subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 45 months!
 definenull: Merry Christmas! 
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, definenull! (Today's storm count: 60)
 ANeMzero: In Yakuza 3 you go down that alley to get to the rooftop for a boss fight and watch your dead dad shoot a guy in the head (he gets better)
 RockPusher: it's one of those things where it's neat they actually incorporate and promote them as themselves… but it is also on of those parts of these games that puts people off
 RockPusher: *one
 adept_nekomancer: That guy didn't need help, he could have phased out of existence at any point
 RealGamerCow: red pandas
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Gravure is such a tightly defined format that the style is as fascinating as the smut
 PharaohBender27: Just confirmed I still have the thing I think Beej was referring to . . . should look up its washing instructions since it's been in a closet drawer for like 6 years now 
 PharaohBender27: And yet the buy-in is still, were this per today's exhange rate, $160
 adept_nekomancer: Going for a single suit I see.
 Travilogue: Pon, drop the 8 dot and go for half flush
 RockPusher: I mean, Yakuza mahjong does have fewer anime animal girls than the usual mahjong played on the channel 
  mtvcdm: One of the players just straight-up named Loser
 adept_nekomancer: In tenpai for 1 an 4 right now I believe
 fjordsword: someone get Wheeler in here so he can start tilting out
 PharaohBender27: @RockPusher True. The few times I watched ITYC streams of Mahjong, I kept thinking, "Why does this anime girl have a . . . shorts garter?" (Don't know how better to describe it)
Mai_Andra: It's the popular Final Fantasy XIV Gold Saucer mini-game Mahjong.
megadrivers: getting a yakuman for christmas?
 Travilogue: Having Dora in your winning hand is extra points
Desruprot: oh right Mahjong, I remember this being slightly different than IRL version
  mtvcdm: I imagine Angel is nowhere in the vicinity
 Gekyouryuu: the good news is: you can pitch ANYTHING they've already pitched and you know it won't make them win
 Gekyouryuu: ron = take points from one person, tsumo = take points from everyone else
 PharaohBender27: Huh, Loser Sachi, you seem to be a winner at the moment . . . .
 adept_nekomancer: @Gekyouryuu Though you are bound by the same rule yourself.
 Gekyouryuu: huh. the organization for this game is different than in Mahjong Soul. in MahjSoul you go Characters, then Plates, then Bamboo, but this one swapped the latter two
Izandai: What's the peacock?
 adept_nekomancer: @Izandai It's the 1 of the bamboo suit
  Juliamon: 1 of bamboo
Izandai: Ah
133 raiders from SergeYager have joined!

 PharaohBender27: Ahoy-hoy, raiders!
asddsa28:   
 Dog_of_Myth: Heya Raiders
 INCSlayer: Roguelike roulette
 RockPusher: Serge was roguelite rouletting
 SergeYager: this is not a raid, it's three kobolds in a trenchcoat
SRabbelier:   
  mtvcdm: Hi Brew Crew!
 e_bloc: nothing says the holiday season like gambling
 Gekyouryuu: red symbols with black symbols above them = characters (man), circles = dots (pin), green lines or the bird = bamboo (sou), black kanji = winds, other three tiles = dragons
 PharaohBender27: All right, should go to eat Christmas pot roast dinner. If stream has ended by the time I'm gone eating, thanks for the stream,  and  , and a merry day to all! 
 adept_nekomancer: This is a good hand though; only 2 tiles from winning
  mtvcdm: Beej how does it feel to get rinsed by someone named Loser 
 e_bloc: low expectations and lower results
 RockPusher: Welcome brew crew to mahjong. and billiards. and darts. and fishing. and batting. and bowling. and managing property. and…
 Lord_Hosk: We are not the brew crew... We are 3 kobalds in a trench coat
 Lord_Hosk: Oh... Serge already said it... I was downstairs folding laundry
 Gekyouryuu: taking a number tile that makes a sequence (i.e. you have 3 and 4, you can take 2 or 5) = chi, can only do to the person on your left. taking a third copy of a tile = pon, can do to anyone
 Travilogue: Pure Double, nice
 e_bloc: theres a way to turn on english numerals for the characters right
 RockPusher: Couldn't even beat Loser
Creature_Comforts: @e_bloc I don't think there is...I never found a way when I was learning
  mtvcdm: That was SUPER fun for *them*
 e_bloc: @Creature_Comforts maybe in other games, for some reason I thought you could play with numerals
Creature_Comforts: You might be thinking of FFXIV mahjong, which has exactly that
 e_bloc: I dont think anything you said didnt make sense
 RealGamerCow: Just ask people what their yaku is
 Boopity: In a way, yes, you could say Mahjong is just nouns 
PorpoisesUnknown: Doflamingo?
 Gekyouryuu: I've been playing Mahjong consistently for at least a year and a half now, and I can confidently say: it's all a ton of BS and you're as likely to get a good hand from judicious playing as you are from being a reckless lunatic
 adept_nekomancer: "4 sets of 3 plus one pair (typically), and your hand has to fulfill various patterns" is the best short description I've heard for riichi mahjong
 e_bloc: @adept_nekomancer agree
MTigress: @Gekyouryuu which method is more fun?
 type_variable: cribbage for weebs
 RockPusher: just casual
 e_bloc: I am having such a hard time not thinking today is Saturday
 accountmadeforants: @adept_nekomancer That "(typically)" is ominous
  mtvcdm: Heather is only of the only people on the crew I would buy the phrase "casual Steel Soul run" from and she could get away with it
 Gekyouryuu: @MTigress neither, because your best hand will always lose to someone getting a 1 han cheap thing and screwing you over regardless of how you play
 e_bloc: I like games with ominous descriptions
MTigress: @Gekyouryuu hahaha
 adept_nekomancer: @accountmadeforants There are two exceptions (7 pairs, and one copy of exactly 13 specific tiles plus one duplicate)
 RockPusher: so just like real life
 Boopity: Wait, they have a use??? I genuinely thought they were just for "immersion" and did nothing 
 Strebenherz: You DARE challenge NUGGET
 RealGamerCow: Nugget MVP
  mtvcdm: You can't egg on Chicken like that
 SymphonySolstice: only the foolish fools and their foolish foolery challenge Nugget
 RockPusher: so for those just joining us, that was Nugget
 RockPusher: they manage some of our property portfolio

 e_bloc: a chicken is the manager?
 RockPusher: They are a chicken, and not as some believe, a turkey
  Juliamon: Nugget is financially savvy
 adept_nekomancer: If you challenge the chicken, you'll end up with egg on your face.
 e_bloc: you know what, I don't think I should ever be surprised by Yakuza games, and yet . . .
 accountmadeforants: @adept_nekomancer Oh alright, I was worried there was an exception like "except that one pair, we hate that pair"
  mtvcdm: We won the chicken by bowling a turkey
 SymphonySolstice: I'd trust Nugget with my investment portfolio
andysoo89: Although sometimes Nugget commits fowl play
 Mechsican: I've only play Like A dragon so far but I was in love with nancy the crawdad. Love this series.
 Mechsican: played*
 e_bloc: how can he be gambler king, I didn't vote for him
  mtvcdm: I would like to defeat five billionaires, can I go defeat five billionaires
  Juliamon: yes.... "defeat" five billionaires
 accountmadeforants: @e_bloc He hit big when all the other ones quit right before.
 e_bloc: I think defeating five billionaires is the plot for the next luigi game
 e_bloc: @accountmadeforants  I guess he was due
 e_bloc: what is more christmas than seeing a billionaire pummeled
 Strebenherz: punching them sounds good
 Boopity: Fight a billionaire, as a treat
  mtvcdm: Go beat up scrooge
Basic_Human_Decency: Please give the billionaire the french treatment.
  Juliamon: Dressed all in white? We're the Ghost of Christmas Punch
 e_bloc: what do you want to knock down?  two guys . . .  at the /same time/
 accountmadeforants: In their defence, they're only *Yen* billionaires. So they only get a *little* bit of guillotining.
 e_bloc: :D:D
Basic_Human_Decency: Just the tip then
aquilonare: weird seeing a fighting style other than rush in this game(I have adhd)
 e_bloc: insane to fuck with a dude who would make a chicken the manager
 NotCainNorAbel: street law
MTigress: this is how street business runs
 SymphonySolstice: casually beating a billionaire's ass in front of the local conbini
 RockPusher: No bicycle is safe around Kazuma Kiryu
 e_bloc: does this have the attack an enemy in behind with a long stick special
 Strebenherz: It is an image of a goblin and a chicken.  The chicken is laughing.  The goblin looks offended.
 Strebenherz: GET BIKED
 RockPusher: Kiryu is the hero we need - bicycling billionaires in the face
 Strebenherz: PFFFFT
 SymphonySolstice: lmao
Basic_Human_Decency: In yakuza the bike rides you
 e_bloc: so good
 Boopity: It's very important
MTigress: secretly the yakuza series is an elaborate marketing move to show how well bicycles work as weapons to sell more
 Strebenherz: this game is unapologetically over the top and i love it for it
 e_bloc: everytime kiryu smacks someone with a bike I can hear the dusty rhodes line "he's got a bicycle!"
 Strebenherz: It's kiryu with the steel bike!

Basic_Human_Decency: Gotta try the silly mod for this game
 Driosenth: Leisure King Larry?
 e_bloc: @Driosenth I had the same thought
 RockPusher: It was acceptable in the '80s
 Boopity: You can if you're a billionaire 
ToppHat: Merry Yakuzamas Derys!
 e_bloc: if everyone's a criminal, no one's a criminal
aquilonare: do you have the questionably useful manager?
Basic_Human_Decency: Is this just how you hire managers in japan?
SaxPython: Merry Christmas 
 Driosenth: is he the King King?
 Boopity: Welp, so much for that 
 RockPusher: Wouldn't be Yakuza without the big twists
 accountmadeforants: I wonder who that could possibly be
 e_bloc: the king of kings
  mtvcdm: The newborn king
  mtvcdm: We are here to fight Jesus
 e_bloc: a landlord?  can we fight him
 Myrniss: Is this the part of the jrpg where we dethrone god?
andysoo89: In typical jrpg fashion, I expect the person behind him to be God
aquilonare: ok you do have the comedic manager. I forgor if that was mandatory lol
TheTekkieman: Huh, the Officer and Gambling King have the same economic flow.
 TehAmelie: are we actually buying up all of Tokyo?
 accountmadeforants: Oh and we also did just hit over a billion yen
SaxPython: Pay2win?
 accountmadeforants: I guess that makes Kiryu part of the club
aquilonare: if you ask a real life billionare it's not fine
 e_bloc: oh no we're the bilionaire now
 TehAmelie: all above board, i'm sure
 PharaohBender27 returns from dinner

 RockPusher:   
 VorlonScout: Turns out Heather is good at video games
 PharaohBender27: 
 RockPusher: VorlonScout underselling it there
SaxPython: 
 RockPusher: Heather is *very good* at video games
 TehAmelie: the stakes have never been higher
 VorlonScout: @RockPusher I enjoy understatement. 
 e_bloc:   
 accountmadeforants: I'm pretty sure I'm never going to finish Steel Soul in Silksong.  (I did pull it off in Hollow Knight, but here? No, absolutely not.)
  mtvcdm: Heather's one of the few gamers I know for which a Silksong Steel Soul run would *not* be ragebait
 e_bloc: I think Heather is actually ragebait for Silksong
 kusinohki: I stepped away for a bit to fix dinner...  what version of silksong is heather playing?  (like randomizer, straight, deathless, etc...)
 VorlonScout: Steel Soul
 Strebenherz: i'm kinda slow to check out new games, this is my first time seeing it played
 TehAmelie: does it rumble for secrets or something?
 e_bloc: this is very much a game I love watch people play and will absolutely never play myself
 type_variable: why are the bugs not friends
 TehAmelie: i think those are the ones Hornet remarks are fluffy and harmless, after you've killed like 25 of them
 TehAmelie: i think she's just not here to make friends
SaxPython: Poor one out for the Clawline
 TheDevil_Risen:  !
 TheDevil_Risen: whats wrong with Bug Kun?
 TheDevil_Risen: she seemed in pain
 cheshire_creeper: Moss Mother time
 TehAmelie: we did just fall to the bottom of the world
 TehAmelie: and possibly been having a hard time in jail before that?
 TehAmelie: the story is somewhat ambiguous
 TheDevil_Risen: poor fuzzy lava

 kusinohki: "when seeking revenge, first dig 657 graves" - matt wiggins, ghost of yotai
 TheDevil_Risen: no beads 
 e_bloc: @kusinohki that is clearly someone who wants to see you die of exhaustion before you get a chance to get revenge on them
 NightValien28: 
Mashamino: 
 TheDevil_Risen: hai Sherma
goombalax: lets goo Shermaa
 Strebenherz: daww
goombalax: goodest boi
 VorlonScout: Does it eventually open? If so, proven!
 TehAmelie: "once i finished digging two graves, i didn't even want revenge anymore. yay for catharsis by physical labor."
 e_bloc: but what if you want revenge on someone who wronged you by making you dig graves
 TheDevil_Risen: which save is this? Beej's?
 couchboyj: They sing and dance, and the door does open.  Grandma Silk works in mysterious ways.
 GapFiller: gotta get that needle polished quicksmart
 Strebenherz: fresh save i think @TheDevil_Risen
 accountmadeforants: @TheDevil_Risen This is a new steel soul save
 TheDevil_Risen: ahhh
 TheDevil_Risen: cool

Natural_Ones_Only: Is this Steel Soul?
  Juliamon: yep
Natural_Ones_Only: Kermit beat my soul when I first did a few Steel Soul Runs
 e_bloc: music so good
Natural_Ones_Only: ngl this not winning best score was criminal
 TehAmelie: i find the stick much more comfortable on my thumb, but for precision you sort of need the d-pad. the struggle is real
 PharaohBender27: @Natural_Ones_Only What did win best score? I can't recall
  Juliamon: E33
Natural_Ones_Only: @PharaohBender27 What else but The French
 PharaohBender27: Right, as soon as I hit post I was like "Oh, it was Clair Obscura, wasn't it"
 e_bloc: 1225 happy holiday
 kusinohki: is there a 'steel soul but start with all upgrades' mode, or would that defeat the purpose??
Natural_Ones_Only: @kusinohki It would
Natural_Ones_Only: Anyone else have Chinese Food today? (Dim Sum in the morning, was delicious)
 e_bloc: we had catering from a Jewish deli, such a good idea
Natural_Ones_Only: @e_bloc The tables have turned oh no
 e_bloc: so this is new game- ?
PorpoisesUnknown: New game - is wyld lmfao
Natural_Ones_Only: Now with knowledge
 BrowneePointz: @Natural_Ones_Only nah, Chris Larkin,  Lorien Testard and Darren Korb all did incredible work. The Crime was not including Mario Kart World or South of Midnight on Best Score
 loufghyslaufey: (gasps) what?
 TehAmelie: don't you hate it when you drop money in a spike pit
Natural_Ones_Only: Ailailailai
 loufghyslaufey: Oh, she's the singer.
 BrowneePointz: Ushkado! Kai-lai-lai-lai!!!
 kynelwynn: Pashonka!
 kusinohki: bapa nada?
 kynelwynn: Taunt at her!
Natural_Ones_Only: Silksong in a nutshell: I need more money
 e_bloc: @Natural_Ones_Only I play games to forget this about this reality
Natural_Ones_Only: Perfect Doggo Phase Skip incoming
 loufghyslaufey: Sorry, i should've asked about a Majima cameo before I left. How'd it end? (Yakuza 0)
 loufghyslaufey: "Frien" or "Wren?"
 TehAmelie: i hear "prin"
 e_bloc: why not frien and wren
 BrowneePointz: I hear "Hren!"
 loufghyslaufey: @e_bloc Lawl, card "frien & wren..."
noSmokeFire: she just really likes Frieren
 accountmadeforants: I hear something between Vrin and Hrin
 kynelwynn: "Friend!" clearly
  Juliamon: something between "vryn" and "hrin" for me
 e_bloc: blue and gold
 BrowneePointz: Ye I hear "Hren" with a slight rolled r
 kusinohki: what happened to "SHAW!"
Natural_Ones_Only: Whichever one of Team Cherry made the money roll so much is mean
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: As long as nobody hears Vril. That's a whole thing and related to Bovril.
Natural_Ones_Only: @Strebenherz Oh damn do that
 e_bloc: you ever see that video where they play a word over and over but show someone speaking a different word that rhymes, and your brain automatically hears the wrong word
 loufghyslaufey: Woah. Cutscene.
 accountmadeforants: Oh and, Heather, the last Unbeatable patch removed the second paddle from Brickout. No more invisible unmoving player 2 
 loufghyslaufey: Deep stuff, Cherries.
 PharaohBender27: You ever wonder what it's like to be one of the enemies in this game? You're either minding your own business, or waiting in wait, and you just annihiliated
 Strebenherz: i'm kinda old man shakes fist at new things but uhh yeah.  like just from what i've seen so far. this is.. really immersive.  they take time to characterize and worldbuild
Natural_Ones_Only: The pot's basically just a hot tub right
 PharaohBender27: *just get
 accountmadeforants: I certainly have
 Strebenherz: oh no
Natural_Ones_Only: I have indeed
Lysander_salamander: oh?
 Strebenherz: PFFFFFFT
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha

 kynelwynn: Yeah
Mashamino: hot pot
 TehAmelie: huh, i never tried that
Natural_Ones_Only: It'll quench ya
Lysander_salamander: 
ThorSokar: But if you find the Mayor's shorts just throw them in!
Lysander_salamander: become one with the soup
 BrowneePointz: I still wonder if Shakra is supposed to be based on a Wasp
Natural_Ones_Only: Dog dog dog dog
 RockPusher:  
 accountmadeforants: Hornet: "I'm at soup"
 loufghyslaufey: So, eh? Did they develop an entire learnable language for this between Hollow Knight & Silksong?
Mashamino: puppy!
 BrowneePointz: I do not think it's a functional language no Loufghy
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/PatientBoredBurritoLitFam-KrG-nD43JIOYwh1m
 BrowneePointz: but fwiw it feels more mechanically complete as a language than HK's which still had concrete vocabulary for several terms
 RockPusher: 
Natural_Ones_Only: Silksong: The double damage game
 accountmadeforants: Double damage just means it likes you
 BrowneePointz: I agree Beej. Late game sure changes your psychology on this stuff XD

 ContingentCat: Oooo yeah
 Xafty: go for it
durketh:  Be Jolly!
 e_bloc: fair
 loufghyslaufey: I mean, if you want? I could just dock out.
 SymphonySolstice: I will probably never play this so go for it
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: I have the memory of a goldfish
 BrowneePointz: The bun on Heather's Sandwich looks absolutely incredible
 loufghyslaufey: Kind of intrigued... & whether to, pick up Hollow Knight first?
 BrowneePointz: I would absolutely pick up HK first
 BrowneePointz: it gives you the skill set for this game, and bits that pay off in this from the first game. but you can also just jump into this
 GapFiller: that Silksong started out as Hollow Knight DLC is REAL apparent from the off
 GapFiller: just from a gameplay persepctive

jibkat: Oh we diving
 Xafty: im glad i know for sure i will never play this

 BrowneePointz: You were doing better with the Hunter's Crest than I ever could
jibkat: clawine is a type of grapplehook
Natural_Ones_Only: Shardless

 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/PerfectGleamingBaboonPermaSmug-W0D8W00HcpfpEbA8
 BrowneePointz: Oh yea
 BrowneePointz: she's designed to punish typical play patterns
 PharaohBender27: 
 BrowneePointz: with the parries and b ack dashing into your dashes
 e_bloc: tbf that applies to so many  things
Natural_Ones_Only: "Lace is a lot easier when you listen to your wife"-Beej
 BrowneePointz: but yea for those that HAVEN'T played this, she's intentionally designed to mix up attacks that punish some of the Normal reactions to most bosses, and have several attacks where her momentum carries her just a bit further than you think into you(on purpose)
 TheMerricat: @e_bloc THIS. 
 VorlonScout: I have a Pro 2, I'm curious how the Pro 3 compares
 EikoandMog: Having beat this on Steel Soul is the most sweaty I've ever been in my gaming life.
 BrowneePointz: @EikoandMog you are more patient than I am
jibkat: void moist
 e_bloc: do not google covered in void
Natural_Ones_Only: A nice Void marinade
 PharaohBender27: She merely dresses in Void
 EikoandMog: I like the tentacles as a callback to how Pure Vessel fights.
 PharaohBender27:

 NightValien28: one is not zero

Natural_Ones_Only: Get telefragged
Natural_Ones_Only: Wait. Was this whole stream a new controller test
Lysander_salamander: oh that looks fun
 GapFiller: gotta admit to kinda hoping this stream just ends up rolling into ChillPoint tmrw but thats prob just the 4am psychosis talkin 
 PharaohBender27: @GapFiller Yeah, Chillpoint is still many hours away
  Juliamon: confession: I've never actually seen Suika Game played
 BrowneePointz: same fruit make bigger fruit
 BrowneePointz: get ponits
 BrowneePointz: points*
  Juliamon: like, I was aware a game with that name existed, and nothing beyond that
  mtvcdm: Suika games are a whole puzzle subgenre now
  mtvcdm: Any time a new type of puzzle game gets big you quickly get a hundred more like it
MTigress: fruit alchemy 
 BrowneePointz: it's like Combiner Tetris
  Juliamon: a, physics-based Tiny Town
 e_bloc: fruit salad simulator
  mtvcdm: Every one of them making their own set of tweaks on the basic formula to see if this change works better or not
  mtvcdm: I have one in my Steam library called Pooool, which is, suika billiards
 PharaohBender27: The fact that the combined fruit is entirely different from the constituent fruits is throwing me for a loop
 kusinohki: check my math here....  1 watermelon = 1024 cherries....  seems about right
  mtvcdm: The watermelon is always the soft wincon of a suika
 e_bloc: can you  crush it between your thighs
  mtvcdm: Or the watermelon equivalent
 dumbo3k: "The graves have to go here" -Beej
 e_bloc: a little on the  purple side for blackberries imo
  mtvcdm: oh dear
  Juliamon: lmao this fuckin game
 Critterbot: Maybe, but blackberries are often colored that way if they're cartoonish like this.
 TehAmelie: oh, you can play this in a browser. there goes my night i expect
  mtvcdm: Oh we are not okay but we're alive
 PharaohBender27: Gee I wonder who did that
Lysander_salamander: oh I didn't know there was a two player version
Lysander_salamander: sort of like tetris attack
  mtvcdm: Okay so the ice is a junk block
 PharaohBender27: Wait this is the the one where you can sabotage your opponent, right?
  mtvcdm: Yep, ice are junk blocks

 Critterbot: If you merge two watermelons you apparently make a "breaking the game." 
 accountmadeforants: Oh my god is Suika Game a thing again. Good, good.
  mtvcdm: I believe two watermelons just, go away, with no replacement, and you just clear them
 Critterbot: *shrug* Just what I've been told. 
 accountmadeforants: Maybe you have to do something for it to go away
 Diabore: beej won by 3 points there
 Boopity: That's just how polaroids work  When one gets taken of you, you're done
  mtvcdm: I think the attack fruit is where the attacker gets to drop it and you want to try and put it where it'll be annoying to clear
  mtvcdm: Or at least block what the other person's trying to do

TheGuidingLark: those sure are letters
NonchalantAvenger: efficiency at it's best
 PharaohBender27: Um I think Beej had changed it and changed it back to Suika
  mtvcdm: Both River City Girls games are SO GOOD
  mtvcdm: The Kunio-kun franchise is just my weakness
 BrowneePointz: I'm supposed to be getting 2Gb for $80USD and only getting about 900MB, but it's absolutely STABLE and i'd been dealing with completely unstable internet for the last 19 months so I was like "fuck it this is the speed I was getting on the unstable stuff for less money I don't care"
 PharaohBender27: @LoadingReadyRun It was River City Girls for a moment and now it's Suika Game again
  mtvcdm: probably?
 Tiber727: Reminds me of a kinda scummy thing Comcast does. You can go to their website and shop for new plans...but the site is designed to hide plans cheaper than what you have.
 Critterbot: It was showing River City Girls 2 for a bit and then it went back to Suika Game?
  Juliamon: Heather definitely didn't ruin anything
  mtvcdm: TWO!
 BrowneePointz: Look, OBS can be temperamental
 PharaohBender27: OK now we're good
Lysander_salamander: oh, river city girls!

 TheDevil_Risen: Swaggage
 TheDevil_Risen: LMAO
Lysander_salamander: Maybe I should get this game
 BrowneePointz: Thanks to Game Grumps I can NEVER think of their names as anything other than Jimmy and Bimmy
  mtvcdm: Marian, the story for her being she got sick of being the damsel in distress and so she got into the gym, and Marian's moveset is all MMA-based
Lysander_salamander: oh right, this is a crossover
Lysander_salamander: I tried the first game but had some difficulty
  mtvcdm: Provie, coming in from River City Ransom Underground
Lysander_salamander: maybe I'll give it another try.  Couldn't get past the first boss.
  mtvcdm: The early game can take a bit until you get a couple levels on you
Lysander_salamander: sort of stalkers?
Lysander_salamander: there's levels?
  mtvcdm: Once you get those first few levels and buy some moves you'll be okay
 Tiber727: If you never ask them they'll never say no.
Lysander_salamander: I didn't even get out of the school
  mtvcdm: River City is.... a messed-up place
 BrowneePointz: I mean, I love that it's the Double Dragon world dialed up to another level of STupid
 BrowneePointz: It's a Beat Em Up mixed with an Adventure Game
 BrowneePointz: ish
 Genie_M: Will be punched. Many times.
  mtvcdm: The BASE status of River City is everyone is always beating each other up all the time, just, as a thing the town does
 e_bloc: brawlerpg
Lysander_salamander: hahaha
 Saintnex: well that was an easy escape, kinda surpised he didnt just do that to begin with lol
 PharaohBender27: River City prison's infrastructure leaves something to be desired, it seemed
 PharaohBender27: OK is that tutorial sprite a reference to something? Because it looks familiar to me
  mtvcdm: 8-bit River City Ransom sprite
  mtvcdm: Oh I never bothered with parrying
 Boopity: These spitballs are a menace
  mtvcdm: Parrying is for people who waste valuable time doing not hitting
 Genie_M: I love all the little animations they did in these games
  mtvcdm: It absolutely is the same day Beej
Lysander_salamander: they packed a lot into the lunch break I guess
SmashTCG: Dual income no kids?
 Genie_M: And Shantae... also Wayforward
 Saintnex: LOL
 Boopity: WOW
Lysander_salamander: isn't one of the girls not even from this school?
Lysander_salamander: wow
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
 Boopity: The hard cut to "TWO MONTHS LATER" is 👌
 SymphonySolstice: what a gaming session
Lysander_salamander: dang
  mtvcdm: I love the River city Girls games to bits
jibkat: why do I feel in japanese it was vampire fister
 Boopity: 
Lysander_salamander: must be rough, to have the school turned into a yakuza front

 PharaohBender27: @Driosenth 
 SymphonySolstice: lmao
 Saintnex: oh dang, the writing in this game is SO clever
Lysander_salamander: oh, so that's how you reset the ccharacters.  Nice
Lysander_salamander: Atrophied muscles
TheGuidingLark: too real
SmashTCG: sadly No
SmashTCG: you left the imporant upgrades on the ship
 Boopity: Too busy scrolling Tik Tok brainrot and forgot upgrades on ship
 SymphonySolstice: honkr
  mtvcdm: This phone has seen some shit
  mtvcdm: And you were just kicked out of Nekketsu High School
Lysander_salamander: maybe he's a grandson of the same name
 RockPusher:  
 Boopity: Is there a single brain cell _anywhere_ in this game? 
jibkat: oh nooo
Lysander_salamander: nice
 SymphonySolstice: breaking the house!!!
  mtvcdm: Kitchen is for later purposes
jibkat: crt in the bedroom classy
Lysander_salamander: 
 Boopity: Oh this song
 Tiber727: Keep doing that and you'll bounce into the studio lights.
  mtvcdm: I tried this, I managed to get a combo in the late game into like the 1200 range. You'd be SHOCKED  how high they wrote for.
Lysander_salamander: Brooooooo
 Boopity: I was hoping the game would do a "hit the ceiling" bit 
 SymphonySolstice: 
 NorthstarTex: Bro...
jibkat: another!
 Saintnex: HAH
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
 Boopity: ????
 Boopity: Now that's commitment
Lysander_salamander: mom's probably a retired hooligan
TheGuidingLark: just say no, yuour children cannot legally hit you without your consent
  mtvcdm: Season's Beatings has different items every two months by the system calendar
Lysander_salamander: nice that it's a seasonal thing.
MTigress: let's be honest, the Yakuza series is just a modernized Kunio-Kun series. beating up people for money, buying upgrades and tons of food in shops, tons of random silliness, lovable characters, ridiculous boss fights. there's even historical period piece games in both series.
  mtvcdm: Super Dodgeball!
Lysander_salamander: heck yeah yoyo fighing
  mtvcdm: god Super Dodgeball has a spot in my heart
Lysander_salamander: There were a couple of different action movies with a yoyo-weilding character, right?
 Boopity: Whomstve is this furry icon
  mtvcdm: Dojo Cat
Lysander_salamander: it's Tiger Mask
Lysander_salamander: Very popular anime
 realbadatthis_: dojo cat is very good mtv
Lysander_salamander: nice, juggling

 Boopity: Nice
Mashamino: the bike returns
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
  mtvcdm: Gotta get your bike
  mtvcdm: Timely level for Beej
 Boopity: The synchronized bashing by street debris is very funny
Lysander_salamander: Maybe I should try watching the Scott Pilgrim animated series
Lysander_salamander: well, ok
 Boopity: Wait, they don't even know where the mall is?? 
Lysander_salamander: heck yeah
  mtvcdm: Little guys
Lysander_salamander: the little guys that you put on your shelf
Lysander_salamander: aw
 Genie_M: They are not the tabletop type
jibkat: what if there was a three player game 🥺👉👈
Lysander_salamander: it's interesting that the enemies sometimes respawn
jibkat: too way to long to recall the emjis for that
  mtvcdm: They respawn if you hang around too long after clearing the group
  mtvcdm: But you are free to leave the area at any time unless the screen is locked
Lysander_salamander: an interesting change of pace from other brawlers that just have you go one direction
 Boopity: Ready to rest at any time!
  mtvcdm: If you had just wanted to bolt to the mall it's totally gonna let you... though, grinding is a thing
Lysander_salamander: can you pick up the van?
 Boopity: @Lysander_salamander Now that just seems excessive 
Lysander_salamander: hmm, some of the enemies have a wake-up attack
Lysander_salamander: aw
 Boopity: 
  mtvcdm: !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!)

 Saintnex: lol
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
 NightValien28: flawless team work
 SymphonySolstice: just like me fr
  mtvcdm: The baseball has no friend
 Boopity: @mtvcdm Thorfinn shaking in his boots
 Genie_M: Whack!
Lysander_salamander: oof
 SymphonySolstice: first step's a doozy
  mtvcdm: So that's science...
Lysander_salamander: oh a street vigilante
 Boopity: I am shocked this city is as functional as it is, considering there seem to be be street fights 24/7
  mtvcdm: Oh yes, THIS
  mtvcdm: Too late
Lysander_salamander: oh well
 Genie_M: Brawling is the basic economy
Lysander_salamander: bacon rod?!
Lysander_salamander: hahaha
 Boopity: How... how does bacon rod work
  mtvcdm: So now Heather would have to reach a safehouse before Beej can revive
  mtvcdm: Since she didn't beat up his ghost
Lysander_salamander: well, that's annoying
  mtvcdm: You'll get more safehouses later and transport to them, but at this early stage it's just the one
Lysander_salamander: oh, so just had to change screens
  mtvcdm: Or that
  mtvcdm: Never mind me
 Genie_M: Call in the guy
  mtvcdm: This is what I get for doing singleplayer
 Boopity: Why was there a steel whip on the roof of a truck??

 Genie_M: Like the permanent boost so you try everything once
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
Mashamino: bully that man!
  mtvcdm: Yeah, you do get a stat boost for a first-time purchase
Lysander_salamander: nice tunes
  mtvcdm: Oh, right, Super Dodge Ball not the only game that used that type of ball in the Technos library; they also made Super Spike V'Ball, a volleyball game (and Kyoko is a volleyball player and part of her moveset is volleyball moves).
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Lysander_salamander I was just thinking that one is an absolute banger
 Boopity: W-What does the dab do
Mashamino: 
  mtvcdm: That
Lysander_salamander: hahaha
Lysander_salamander: upgrades
  mtvcdm: Right, these are accessories
  mtvcdm: You can wear up to two at a time and they're passive
 Boopity: Holy shit just wailing on a man with a bike will never stop being funny 
TheGuidingLark: great music
 Genie_M: Just whacking them with a bike is satisfying
TheGuidingLark: just dab on the body lmao
 Boopity: The dab as the body fades away 
Lysander_salamander: nice
  mtvcdm: What do you think it means
Lysander_salamander: oh I love how the avatars up top are looking down and speaking during the dialogue
Mashamino: man: the most dangerous weapon
TheGuidingLark: you ever just beat a mother busser with another motherbusser
  mtvcdm: Remember you need not clear the screen unless it specifically tells you to
Omnipotrevor: Was that a giant cat lady?
 adept_nekomancer: Wait, they expel people via defenestration?
 Geldaran: ::notices the River city ransom guy poster in the back:: Ha!
Toaster_Strooder: @TheGuidingLark The platonic ideal of beat-em-up experience
 loufghyslaufey: Woah. 2-v-1 co-op?
TheGuidingLark: @Toaster_Strooder 100%
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: I'd downloaded this for playing with my villainous other next time we're on the same continent. It's moved a lot higher on the list now I've seen it played.
 Tiber727: In other words, she skipped school for 2 months just because she wanted to.
 loufghyslaufey:  taking  "I'm Just Ken,"  to a whole other scott pilgrim'd level here?
Lysander_salamander: dang
 Genie_M: It's much more fun than it first feels
Lysander_salamander: ok that's funny.  The goon using his boss as a flail
 loufghyslaufey: Wait. "Friendly punching?"
Lysander_salamander: nice
 loufghyslaufey: Geez, its like that one actor played by real actor Chris Evans in Scott Pilgrim too.
 Diabore: gg gg
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
Lysander_salamander: too bad they can't read
 loufghyslaufey: Wait? For what, game?
MTigress: lol the movie poster 'Some THING'

Lysander_salamander: hhahahahaha
 Boopity: Sweet
Lysander_salamander: vest friends?
Lysander_salamander: nice
 e_bloc: play careless whisper
 Boopity: I prefer the term vest besties. Or vesties, if you will
 loufghyslaufey: Some kind of... "gatekeep, girlboss?"
Lysander_salamander: honk
Lysander_salamander: !y
  LRRbot: HONK!
 RockPusher:  
  mtvcdm: I do not know if accessories are for the both of you or just who bought it
 SymphonySolstice: 
 realbadatthis_:   
Lysander_salamander: nice
  mtvcdm: That answers that
  mtvcdm: I like that answer
Lysander_salamander: I'm definitely going to have to try playing the first one again
 loufghyslaufey: Wait. Does everyone they fight want to fight them?
Lysander_salamander: yes?
 Tiber727: You have apparently cloned your accessories. You wouldn't download a bra?
  mtvcdm: Canonically yes
  mtvcdm: That's just how River City operates
  Juliamon: The city literally runs on a fight-based economy
 loufghyslaufey: Kay, but the notable meme i
 loufghyslaufey: S that you don't talk about fight club when you "fight/club"
  mtvcdm: Oh yeah, this is where you remember you can run
 loufghyslaufey: Right?
nevermore913: Falling is James' thing
 Boopity: Oh... the second floor is under construction. Don't blame them, considering apparently people here just constantly want to fight for no reason
TheGuidingLark: indoor carousel, on stage, just for the heeluvit
Lysander_salamander: maybe it's for later, during a quest
  mtvcdm: Not right now to you
 Genie_M: I love how the bystanders are just chilling and dodging every attack
 Boopity: @Genie_M I guess one would just learn that eventually in this city 
  mtvcdm: !hole
  LRRbot: Did somebody mention classic young-adult action-adventure movie Holes??
 loufghyslaufey: @LRRbot I thought that was  's thing.

  mtvcdm: Okay, so if you'll look closely, you'll see donuts coming out of Misako's backpack when she swings it. That is a reference to Misako's English voice actor Kayli Mills, aka the  "Donut Queen". (Kayli really likes donuts.)
  mtvcdm: So remember your kitchen?
