 jessicaengle: 
NimrodXIV: We're learning so much about which animals aren't donkeys!
 LostThePirate: Was there any preamble to this at the start of the stream that I missed, or is James just streaming silently in a donkey kigu?
 Mischievous_Catgeist: You put up with this on a daily we must support your sanity in some way
 ashleyturnlrr: @LostThePirate 
 chaz_existing: @LostThePirate james isnt real, it's just been donkey
 MyClosePersonalFriendJohn: So I missed the first little bit of stream.  Was there an intro of the idea... or did we just jump straight into donkey James?  Love it either way.
 loufghyslaufey: The moment Jack Black "Steve" meets  "Steve": Finally! A WORTHY Opponent!

 jessicaengle: 
Snowcookies: Chat, are donkeys tied to a biome or found anywhere?
 inetro: Outstanding
 chaz_existing: the obelisk
 FPNY41: someone pressed the "do not press" button
 sporkraptor: XD
 LostThePirate: @Marvoleath Ok, thanks. I'm not complaining, jsut checking if there was context I missed haha
 TacitusVigil: Is Donkey James just a Temu Mule from the Expanse?
 sporkraptor: I am laughing so hard right now
  Juliamon: Snowcookies Savannah often has them iirc
 RandomTrivia: The button that "breaks" the stream
 TacitusVigil: Er, not expanse Foundation?
 Marvoleath: Context is, afaik, that there was a moment in time when ppl donated "donkey bits" and James promised this year we'll get the donkey pay-off
 Marvoleath: there rest is in title of the stream
 LostThePirate: Cool
 Marvoleath: !title
 jessicaengle: There was some careless talk about renting a donkey this year for a LRR bit of some kind.....
 jessicaengle: Or let's not say careless, let's say, optimistic
NimrodXIV: Ooooo
 Leonhart321: Oh?
 Leonhart321: We have quadrapeds people
 chaz_existing: @jessicaengle not sure why they'd need to rent one, Lrr has a donkey already. It's currently doing this stream
 jessicaengle: IKR?
Wilcroft: 
 unarmedoracle: man, this game does vertigo so well
 jessicaengle: Better than advertised
 LostThePirate: This seems like the sort of stream that was either thought up 7 months ago or 7 hours ago, lol
 Strebenherz: James vtuber career doing well
 Wolfstrike_NL: The promise was from last year, during Thunder Juction PPR
 SnackPak_: so close
 jessicaengle: Oooooo so many ponies
Snowcookies: honse
 ShifuDaxiongmao: Good thing this isn't James, he would've jumped and missed the water 
 TXC2: LostThePirate  and it's somehow both 
  Sarah_Serinde: 
Snowcookies: Did you know 2026 is the year of the horse?
  Sarah_Serinde: Or maybe more like family
 RandomTrivia: 
 TacitusVigil: Donkey James is actually played by Morph Suit Beej. Truly the Andy Serkis of our time
 northos: @chaz_existing well, assuming the donkey is being paid to be on stream, is that not comparable to renting their time?

 MyClosePersonalFriendJohn: Ok, I'm hoping this comes out the way I mean it, applogies if not:  It feels like James (I mean donkey) silently streaming is going to be more of a challenge for him than Paul's "things on my head" streams or Ian/Cam Christmas streams.  Not that he's not up for that challenge.

 MyClosePersonalFriendJohn: @Sarah_Serinde Right, sorry, was thinking of the excitement/jumpscares that Minecraft tends to give.  Unplanned surprise noises and such.

 RoseBitter: everything is normal
Creideiki_SE: Is the rest of the stream going to be James riding to the far lands?

 chaz_existing: @KeytarCat good question
GoblinMyra: wait can horses and donkeys fall in the powdered snow?

 GreyThey: This is the saddest LRR donkey stream ever
 Leonhart321: So I may have been out of the MC game for a while now. But since when could snow do that?
 chaz_existing: @GreyThey but also maybe the happiest by default

  Sarah_Serinde: @Leonhart321 A few updates ago, specifically powdered snow, which looks sliiiightly different from normal snow
 TXC2: Leonhart321  it's powered snow, and it's....4 years old lets say ?
 northos: cool village

 KeytarCat: Good ass-chance in this valley
 KeytarCat: idk, I just wanted to say that
 Serivus: @KeytarCat 
 northos: @Leonhart321 condolences and happy new year!

 TXC2: it's 20 to 10, first fireworks here
 protojman: that’s pretty
 Serivus: are donkeys like highlanders, in that there can be only one?
 NullColaShip: @TXC2 The first fireworks were about that time here, too... The last were shortly after midnight, as it started to rain
 MyClosePersonalFriendJohn: @Serivus If so, donkey James just gained some power.
 SquareDotCube: Plains bordering deserts spawn donkeys, iirc
 TXC2: Serivus  I was gonna yes, because of how they're bred, but then I remembered that's mules 
 badpandabear: James isbthe Kurgan of Donkeys
 Serivus: @MyClosePersonalFriendJohn he did give a thumbs up not too long after that donkey died

 Narcuru: that seems like a reasonable assumption
 jessicaengle: 
 iris_of_ether:

 TacitusVigil: We can get James a name tag that says "Trainee" 
 chaz_existing: based on donkey nods, probably

 KeytarCat: Are we looking for a good villager trade loop?  fast track some levels?
 jessicaengle: 
 RandomTrivia: Not one of these villagers will trade a donkey... 0/10, burn it to the ground
 ShifuDaxiongmao: think he wants either a good farmer trade or a good paper trade 
 Mazrae: For some reason donkey riding from Great Big Sea popped into my head
 chaz_existing: One hour of donkey elapsed.
 GreyThey: Per the wiki, Name Tag trades have to come from a Master-level Librarian, so it would take a lot of trading to get there.

 SkylerRingtail: Is the donkey at risk of despawning, or does the saddle prevent it?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: it's tamed, so it shouldn't go away
 Strebenherz: I don't think they can respawn either way but not 100 percent on that
 Strebenherz: Despawn
 SquareDotCube: That mountain's small potatoes. Now, the one behind you...

 GreyThey: Or is it just enchantments that impact that?
  Juliamon: just enchants
 GreyThey: Ah
  Juliamon: unless they actually added non-wooden rods??
  Juliamon: I haven't played in a year

uchihab7: how is this any different from any other one of james streams?
 KilrenKrae: ok, just got here, a little confused, may i politly ask, wtf?
uchihab7: lol
 SnackPak_: so rude
  Juliamon: !point
  LRRbot: If you came here hoping for there to be a point to this, I have bad news for you.
 jessicaengle: James is fulfilling a promise he made like months ago to have a donkey on a LRR stream
 KilrenKrae: ah
 jessicaengle: 
  Sarah_Serinde: So chat, new year's eve is probably a terrible time to order food, right? Because I kinda want to...
 KilrenKrae: any jackass jokes yet?

 thecampingviking: Happy NY everyone!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, thecampingviking! (Today's storm count: 71)
 Marvoleath: @Sarah_Serinde I did, took twice as long to be delivered
  Juliamon: Sarah_Serinde I'd do it asap if you plan to do it at all
 jessicaengle: Yes, but help yourself.
  Foxmar320: @Sarah_Serinde Sub place near me ran out of bread so im sure ordering right now is fine
  Sarah_Serinde: @Marvoleath This does not surprise me yeah
 thinlissy: thank you for the gift sub 
  Sarah_Serinde: @Juliamon Yeah I should've done it earlier but I only just finished work and forgot to do it ahead of time
  Sarah_Serinde: I have boring food at home, I'll live I suppose
  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!)
 ShifuDaxiongmao: is new years, treat yourself 
  Sarah_Serinde: @ShifuDaxiongmao Is it a treat to wait a really long time for dinner to arrive, though?
  Juliamon: my sister somehow was given today and tomorrow off with no explanation (retail job) so she has been making all the treats today
 ShifuDaxiongmao: depends on the hunger level
  Sarah_Serinde: I could also get some veg for the mushroom pasta I'm planning to make this week, but it's cold and dark and snowy out and I don't wanna
  Sarah_Serinde: @Juliamon Nice
 jessicaengle: 
  Juliamon: so far we have two variants of chickpea salad (one with peppers, diced cucumbers, and feta, and the other with black beans and onion in addition to that) and buffalo chicken dip in the oven
  Sarah_Serinde: Normally I would be off between Christmas and New Year's, but new less awful job means I can't take vacation yet
 thecampingviking: @Sarah_Serinde a tradeoff that is worth it!
  Sarah_Serinde: @thecampingviking Yes, I needed to leave the old job wayyyy sooner than I did
 TehAmelie: what we really want to catch is a great fishing rod, right?
 thecampingviking: @Sarah_Serinde it can be hard to leave something familiar even if it's not good
  Sarah_Serinde: ok ok I'm gonna be sensible, I can buy dinner another day. For today I have lots of treats for dessert, at least
  Sarah_Serinde: @thecampingviking Yeah definitely, I haven't changed jobs for a while so it was a bit intimidating. New one has its own downsides but it's definitely better in many, many ways
 jessicaengle: Bless you!
  Sarah_Serinde: Anyway sorry I derailed chat 
 Marvoleath: The real question is, what crime did the Donkey commit to warrant that black bar over its eyes
 ShifuDaxiongmao: not sure todays chat can really be derailed 
  Sarah_Serinde: Yeah that's fair, I don't think it really had rails to begin with
 CaptainSpam: @Marvoleath Look, you have to respect its privacy in its time of stress.
 Firewhiskers: Someday Donkey will have to deal with all the fish they catch. But today is not that day.
 LurkerSpine: rip
 RandomTrivia: 
 tidehollowcat: 
 TehAmelie: can donkey eat fish?
 RandomTrivia: 
 Firewhiskers: Wildlife!
 Marvoleath: @TehAmelie most animals are occasional omnivores, but donkey are herbivore by default
 ShadlynW: @Marvoleath I say this with complete sincerity: It made my day how precise and accurate that answer was
 Firewhiskers: @Marvoleath I dated a woman whose horse ate a chunk of hamburger that we gave him...
 TehAmelie: we're just fishing for fun then
 Marvoleath: I believe we are fishing for nametag
  Juliamon: Animals generally don't understand what "herbivore" or "omnivore" mean, they eat what's in front of them and if it's bad they don't eat it again (unless they're dogs)
 Marvoleath: @ShadlynW 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: there has been a surprising lack of wandering traders
 kdefinition: @Juliamon I have seen videos... Let's just say Mr. Ed's making his macros one way or another.
 Firewhiskers: My cat used to eat broccoli. I have video.
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 100 100
  Juliamon: and yeah, weirdly long trader-less period
 LordZarano: Donkey-back fishing?
 Mollylele: hee haw
 ShifuDaxiongmao: silly donkey, there are no beds in libraries 
 insanecat6mtg: Had to step away for about 30 minutes to help with dinner prep. How's the nametag progress coming?
  Juliamon: None yet, first rod used up
 insanecat6mtg: Okay, I think I had to step away before he switched to fishing for it.
BrightstormRising: Wait, did James join the new DonkeyCraft SMP?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: this is not james, this is donkey
BrightstormRising: Did Donkey join DonkeyCraft then? It seems like the ideal fit.
 jessicaengle: So peaceful.
  Sarah_Serinde: I am disappointed James didn't find a donkey skin for this
 Mollylele: i don't prefer the phrase "donkey skin"
  Sarah_Serinde: Yeah, yeah that's fair
 KeytarCat: Donkey uses James skin
 Mollylele: 
 calculated_uncertainties: This does already feel like a fever dream
  Sarah_Serinde: A minecraft skin to look like a donkey 
 GreyThey: @Sarah_Serinde We got leather from the first donkey we found after it died. I think that technically counts.
BrightstormRising: I'm surprised that there hasn't been a lot of mining. Just burro(w) in.
 jessicaengle: There's a pretty satisfactory amount of donkey redundancy in this stream
 SquareDotCube: donkeydundancy?
wheeleigh subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 61 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, wheeleigh! (Today's storm count: 72)
 Trebs42: Has the Donkey-of-the-Lake shared its wisdom with us yet??
 Mollylele: the donk ness
 constablecrab: Donkeyskin is a story by Charles Perrault.
 wheeleigh: … I just joined. what just happened?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: we've just been donkeying around
 calculated_uncertainties: @wheeleigh I feel like this may be James' version of the wheel.
BrightstormRising: @wheeleigh e oh, e oh.
 wheeleigh: Ah I see
 jessicaengle: James promised there would be a LRR stream this year with a donkey
 ShadlynW: I believe James is making good on a promise as best he can, and also challenging us
 ShifuDaxiongmao: I wonder.. since Donkey seems to be a new LRR employee.. will we get an interview on Good Morning Moonbase?
 ShadlynW: @ShifuDaxiongmao Oh, yes please!
  Juliamon: You should mention it to James next time he's on
 lamina5432: this is james' new years as* party
BrightstormRising: Last time James challenged us over livestock, we priced out goats on the island. Excuse me for one moment...

 InconsiderateHat: *Wanders in*... ah. ...K.
 RealGamerCow: anything specific being fished for right now?
 margieargie: This is nice, I'm glad LRR brought in Donkey to add to the team
 jessicaengle: A nametag I believe
 Narcuru: we believe a nametag to name our donkey
 RealGamerCow: thanks
 RoseBitter: we're not totally sure, as Donkey does not speak english words
 jessicaengle: But Donkey is very appreciative
 SquareDotCube: Donkey should try a spear
 ShifuDaxiongmao: donkey in boat is a hazard!
 TehAmelie: midnight in Sweden now. glad i didn't try to go to sleep earlier cause then i'd have been woken up now
 MungoDude: I am entertained 
 jchinnock: what is this ass doing?
 TheAinMAP: 
 SquareDotCube: earning their namesake
Creideiki_SE: Happy New European Year. The cats are hiding under the bed from all the explosions.
 TehAmelie: :x
 RealGamerCow: Nametag is 0.8% chance it looks like
 thinlissy: @Creideiki_SE same here. poor kittens. happy new year from middle-europe!
 TehAmelie: so it should take about 130 tries on average. i bet we get it in 70
 ShifuDaxiongmao: Happy New Donk from Denmark 
 TehAmelie: dang
 RoseBitter: Happy new year to all the Europeans!
 SnackPak_: unlucky donkey
 ShifuDaxiongmao: you need to look at items... fishing rod used 
 calculated_uncertainties: 100
 SquareDotCube: we'll catch a better fishing rod at this rate
  Sarah_Serinde: Yeah but if he's caught more than 70 fish, he's *definitely* used the rod more than that
 MungoDude: ninety-seven, not bad
 hoveringhalibut: Yeah, the fireworks have started here. Time to get my dog her trazodone for the night
 TehAmelie: one time i had some considerable trouble enchanting a fishing rod, and then i used it like 3 times before i caught a better one
 ShifuDaxiongmao: ONE HUNDRED! 
 MungoDude: happy hundredth fishing
 TheDevil_Risen: hahahaha James the Donkey?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: There is no James, only Donkey
warpstonewarlock: Happy New Year (at least in my Timezone)
 TheDevil_Risen: Happy New Year!
 Firewhiskers: Happy 2026 for whom it is 2026.
 Marvoleath: someone said that there is 1/125 chance to get the nametag iirc
 RoseBitter: <sung to the theme of Caillou> DOOON KEY DOOOON KEY
 GreyThey: @Marvoleath Yup
 RandomTrivia: Has Donkey tried asking nicely for the nametag? 
 GreyThey: Donkey James can't talk
 type_variable: Donkey cannot speak, he can only scream within his heart
 RandomTrivia: Darn, that will slow this down
 calculated_uncertainties: "We named the Donkey James"
  Juliamon: donk life ain't easy
 GreyThey: I guess he could hee-haw nicely at the water.
 Narcuru: maybe donkey can put his hooves together to beseech the fishing gods for good lucj
 GreyThey: There we go
 RoseBitter: a lil heee haw with a question mark
 jessicaengle: So polite.   Such a gentle donk

 TheDevil_Risen: Donky no Mic?
 kynelwynn: Is donkey gratitude just a pre-record or live on the spot?
warpstonewarlock: I think live
 TheDevil_Risen: Does donkey play Tarkov?
 RandomTrivia: It must be live because the sound played later than usual the last time
 RoseBitter: live with prerecorded heehaws
 Narcuru: the noise is prerecorded, but im pretty sure Donkey James has it on a button that he needs to press
 RoseBitter: i assume a stream deck is involved
 kynelwynn: pre-hee-cor-haws
 GreyThey: @RoseBitter Pre-haws?
 RoseBitter: Grey I love you and your puns
 ShifuDaxiongmao: a stream-donk?
  Juliamon: donkeys come pre-equipped with goxlrs nowadays
 GreyThey: @RoseBitter 
 calculated_uncertainties: @ShifuDaxiongmao 
Xed_Regulus: Hello, and Happy Wednesday, Miners and Crafters!!!  
 ShifuDaxiongmao: in 2026, Cori will be doing Can't Draw Donkeys club
 jessicaengle: @Xed_Regulus Hee haw!
 GreyThey: @Xed_Regulus Today we're a little mine-y, a little crafty, and a little donkey
Xed_Regulus: How is everyone this NYE?
  Juliamon: aw man, the sunset on the snowy mountains is unfairly pretty
 RoseBitter: too bad donkeys dont eat fish eh?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: that was a nice alarm clock
 ShifuDaxiongmao: good donkey
 jessicaengle: Best donkey
 ShifuDaxiongmao: I COULD go look at the fireworks.... this is better
 Marvoleath: We can't forget the first donkey though, RIP
 RoseBitter: poor first donkey  I am slightly traumatized
 ShifuDaxiongmao: @Marvoleath there was NO OTHER donkey!!
 jessicaengle: @Marvoleath Dearly departed excluded of course 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: that was just a bad dream
 jessicaengle: We're learning to love again.
 ShifuDaxiongmao: a donkmare
  Juliamon: tripwire hooks are a 1% chance, so we're getting closer
 GreyThey: The first one donkeeled over
 RoseBitter: are we taking the fishing pole down to 1?
  Sarah_Serinde: This is definitely how odds work and we're totally almost there now
 RoseBitter: oh def
 GreyThey: @Sarah_Serinde 100%
 RoseBitter: (I've never chatted so much in a LRR stream)
 xVoxtric: is this a magic talking donkey or a normal donkey
  Juliamon: Bowls are also a 1%
Rodzos: normal donkey
  Sarah_Serinde: the odd silly ones are good for chatting honestly
  Juliamon: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Fishing#Default_catch_possibilities_in_Java_Edition if anyone else wants the odds chart
  Sarah_Serinde: @xVoxtric Hasn't talked so far, but you never know
  Sarah_Serinde: Probably magic either way
 RandomTrivia: 
 iarethel0ser: 
 RoseBitter: 
Xed_Regulus: 
 RandomTrivia: 
 ShadlynW: I think his pronouns are he/haw?
 margieargie: @Sarah_Serinde Eh, I'm sure normal donkeys play Minecraft all the time
 RoseBitter: lawl
 GreyThey: Yeah, it can be nice when chat is a bit calmer and less overwhelming
  Sarah_Serinde: @margieargie This one's still special though
 jessicaengle: @ShadlynW lol that's very good
 Firewhiskers: Remember, chat, animals can only talk on Christmas Eve, so our chance to talk to Donkey is passed.
 lamina5432: do we have a doctor dolittle in here?
 GreyThey: @Firewhiskers Doesn't Eastern Orthodox Christmas fall on January 7th?
 GreyThey: So we can talk to him next week
Snowcookies: who would win in a punch a chunk, James or this donkey playing Minecraft?
 RoseBitter: Yes I believe its the 7th
 GreyThey: I don't think I like motion-sickness mode
j_crane330: Nice day for fishing
 insanecat6mtg: This really is a lovely spot to fish in.
 jessicaengle: 
 lamina5432: @Snowcookies this donkey sure would get a lot more done since they don’t talk as much.
 GreyThey: At what point do we cut bait and try to find a mineshaft chest?
 Leonhart321: 
  Juliamon: When we run out of rods, I guess
 GreyThey: I just hope Donkey James' neck is OK after this
 jessicaengle: 
  Juliamon: that's also an 0.8%!
 KeytarCat: Making a sausage gravy with oat flour instead of wheat.  a decadent New Year to you all
 Marvoleath: @Juliamon does that mean we are getting close, or that we used up our 0.8% slot?
 Marvoleath: 
  Juliamon: I choose to think getting close
 jessicaengle: @KeytarCat Nectar of the Gods
 insanecat6mtg: We're making tempura at my house tonight. Lot of effort but worth it.
 UnknownFriday: Hey lake, can we have a Nametag please so we can see what James is going to name this donkey before the end of the stream? Thanks in advance.
 RoseBitter: mmmm gravy
 GreyThey: @Juliamon Statistically, we've never been closer to fishing up a nametag than we are now. We've also never been farther from it.
 margieargie: You miss 100% of the nametags you don't fish for, or something like that
 Mazrae: This water is stocked with too many fish.  
 ShifuDaxiongmao: Build a lake in city, fish there, increase chance of wandering trader XD
 SnackPak_: oof
 GreyThey: We're only a bit over average
 ShifuDaxiongmao: so, who watched Grian in hermitcraft season 10 and trying to fish up a mending book? 
 insanecat6mtg: @ShifuDaxiongmao Yep.
 MungoDude: 
 SnackPak_: sad donkey 
 GreyThey: Awww
 RandomTrivia: 
 RoseBitter: so sorry donkey friend
  Sarah_Serinde: @ShifuDaxiongmao we got some great art out of that 
 SkylerRingtail: The floppy ear after the sad was perfect comedic timing
 insanecat6mtg: 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: @Sarah_Serinde true.. that painting 
 GreyThey: You need to don-keep your spirits up
 SnackPak_: that nautilus shell was the treasure drop we needed
 ShifuDaxiongmao: I wonder which items share droptable with nametags, and how many of them we've hit so far
 RoseBitter: We need Trank, or Erika, to show up and just throw an id tag at him
 GreyThey: @ShifuDaxiongmao https://minecraft.wiki/w/Fishing#Default_catch_possibilities_in_Java_Edition
 RealGamerCow: Bow, book, fishing rod, name tag, nautilus shell, saddle
 ShifuDaxiongmao: so, the nautilus shells robbed us?
  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!)
 Narcuru: @RoseBitter unfortunately this is a single player world not the shared server
 RoseBitter: yeah I figured, but still
 ShifuDaxiongmao: FLEE!
 margieargie: @ShifuDaxiongmao -And- the bow
 RoseBitter: who doesn't love a fun cameo
 GreyThey: Maybe we can get a trident 
 loufghyslaufey: Dammit. How did I not see this screen left on. I thought I was hearing it ringing
 ShifuDaxiongmao: oh, he got a bow while I wasn't here?... so, 3 gambles so far with no tag?
 jessicaengle: om nom
 ShifuDaxiongmao: hmm.. so.. 5% chance for getting a treasure.. and 1/6 chance for that to roll a nametag
 CaptainSpam: Squidfriend says hi!
  Juliamon: chicken dip is out of the oven, and also apparently she snuck in a tray of pao de queijo too!
 ShifuDaxiongmao: so on average every 20 pull, we should get a chance
 CaptainSpam: So, like, 1/120 chance for a nametag?

 SnackPak_:  giving donkey my name tag energy
 protojman: hurray statistics
 protojman: we’re beating the odds this year
  Sarah_Serinde: that's the spirit 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: any moment now donkey, believe!
 margieargie: @jessicaengle I believe in James, but unfortunatley that's not much help right now since it's Donkey doing the fishing
 KeytarCat: I donkeylieve!
  Juliamon: still better than leveling a librarian to max
 ShifuDaxiongmao: You are after all the best minecraft playing donkey we have ever seen, you got this!
 GreyThey: @ShifuDaxiongmao Unless Minecraft does calculations for fishing in a weird way, it should be independent for each time we cast the line
 jessicaengle: @margieargie You gotta BELIEEEEEEVE
  Sarah_Serinde: less eventful than hunting for a mineshaft, but also more chill
 protojman: fair
 ShifuDaxiongmao: @ShifuDaxiongmao noooo
 ShifuDaxiongmao: bow roll on the treasures
 GreyThey: Ooh, nice bow
 KeytarCat: That's fine, just get another .8
 protojman: that’s a good bow
 Strebenherz: 300
 ShifuDaxiongmao: @GreyThey it's a straight up 5% chance for roll on the treasure table... and then it depends on the luck there too
  Juliamon: also unless I missed him fish up a nautilus, that one's from a drowned
 insanecat6mtg: @GreyThey Well, according to Grian's season 10 videos, the order treasures come in is predetermined by the seed. Unless that's changed.
 Mai_Andra: Adam said "unhinged, one-joke stream" and James said "bet."
 CaptainSpam: It'll be hilarious if the fishing rod breaks before we get a tag.
 ShifuDaxiongmao: @Juliamon I saw him fish one too, but I have not been here the whole time, so might have fished others
 Marvoleath: @Mai_Andra was Adam talking about his solo Let's Nope that way? 
 jessicaengle: I think we already broke one rod, didn't we?
  Juliamon: This is at least the third rod
 insanecat6mtg: @Juliamon He did fish that one up.
 RoseBitter: at least one, strike that, three
 CaptainSpam: Huh.
 ShifuDaxiongmao: he broke first rod, then went and made 3
 RoseBitter: thanks donkey
 chianeko: I'm glad we got the donkey stream
 ShifuDaxiongmao: if he fishes up an enchanted rod, absolutely should repair it with a blank and use it 
 NotCainNorAbel: 500 - Fish Bits?  Donkey Bits?  Neither of these sound good but I do know LRR is good.
  Sarah_Serinde: My Patreon dollars are paying for this stream and I'm delighted
 Marvoleath: "donkey bits" are the reason for this
 ShadyLantern: littering....
 GreyThey: @Sarah_Serinde Patr-hee-haw-n?
 chianeko: How do we get the donkey to spin the wheel?
 RoseBitter: 420 literally the  amount of bits I had in the bank. blaze it, Donkey
 CaptainSpam: Lake is slowly becoming more rotting fish and littered glass bottles than water...
  Sarah_Serinde: Yeah yeah true, but I'm at least supporting the infrastructure 
 ShadlynW: @GreyThey Yes
 TheDevil_Risen:   
 TheDevil_Risen: 
 Strebenherz: I love that the donkey thumbs up bits are live and not pre-recorded.  That's some donkey dedication
 ShadyLantern: i put this stream on to fall asleep to but didnt notice till i awoke what was going on and i am delighted
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 100 100
 NotCainNorAbel: @Sarah_Serinde You are the supporting infrastructure 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: ok, time to believe in another treasure pull! 
 Mr_Horrible: 797 I hardly ever use these things so sure why not here's the rest of my 2025 bits
  Sarah_Serinde: @NotCainNorAbel 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: TRADER?

 Strebenherz: dead or sank from zombiefying
 ShadyLantern: is the trader gone? XD
 Narcuru: unbreaking! not the worst
 SnackPak_: luck of the see would go so hard right now
 ShadyLantern: finally they can be free
 ShifuDaxiongmao: dangit, only unbreaking
  Sarah_Serinde: not the most helpful enchantment for us though
  Juliamon: it always feels good to roll a natural unbreaking 3
 ShifuDaxiongmao: we need at least one of the fishing ones, and then combine and make whole
waitwhatpleasedont: how... how low is the screen for them to be able to see?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: or just a lucky tag
 ShifuDaxiongmao: I'd prefer a lucky tag 
 Strebenherz: @waitwhatpleasedont could be going by sound cue a lil
 UnknownFriday: @waitwhatpleasedont I don't know what you're talking about, you can see their eyes right below their headphone bar.
 GreyThey: Donkey James probably thought this stream would be over in an hour. Little did he realize he was in it for the long haul.
 margieargie: @GreyThey The long hee-hawl, you might say
 ShifuDaxiongmao: argh, another stupid nautilus
 GreyThey: @margieargie 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: not being lucky with those treasure rolls
 Mai_Andra: did it for the donkey
 Mr_Horrible: @GreyThey as long as he doesn't make an ass of himself 
 7gorobei: donkey must have a 3rd monitor on the floor mirroring the game display
  Sarah_Serinde: James commits
  Juliamon: I have definitely fished by audio cue before, when my eyes were bothering me
 jessicaengle: He's a man of his word.
 ShifuDaxiongmao: donkey vibing
 Mai_Andra: ack, why is that one track suddenly so LOUD... it gets me every time... 
 GreyThey: @ShifuDaxiongmao 😬 I do not like that combination of words at all
 QuixoticScrivener: @GreyThey Does "Vibe Donking" work better?
 jessicaengle: I believe!
 RoseBitter: nope
 Shadwhawk: This is a weird stream to have on in the background.  Just Minecraft music, occasional fishing noises, and then a random donkey braying
 ShifuDaxiongmao: the donkey makes it worth it
 KeytarCat: @Shadwhawk So say we all 🙏
 loufghyslaufey: Legally unofficially innaccurate James quote: Upon this boat & ambient bells, I shall build my "fishing church." <(=w=)>
 MrQBear: @Shadwhawk It's very calming, for me.
 GreyThey: We've been waiting all year for this donkey stream
 ShifuDaxiongmao: that drowned has a rod
 Mai_Andra: they want to fish, too
 ShifuDaxiongmao: slay and loot!
 ShadyLantern: these drowned are so rude
 LordZarano:  Happy New Year from the UK
 CaptainSpam: RUN AWAAAAAAY!
 jessicaengle: Time for snacks
 RoseBitter: happy new years, UK!!
monitor360: Happy New Year from Edinburgh ❤️❤️❤️
glitched_goddess: this is remarkably chill tbh lol
 MrQBear: @GreyThey So is there a goal for this?
 GreyThey: In case the worst happens, do we know our coordinates?
 ContingentCat: good job escaping 2025 UK
 RoseBitter: little does Donkey James know, he just made all of our <timezone>s
 ShifuDaxiongmao: get a nametag I think is the immediate goal 
 LilyOfTheVeil666: Happy New Year, Europe & Asia!
 calculated_uncertainties: 100
 GreyThey: @MrQBear Catch nametag, name donkey
 ContingentCat: this is art
 ghyllnox: I did not understand until now that James was the donkey 
 7gorobei: is game donkey's name determined yet?
 MrQBear: Ah. Gotcha. Fun goal!
 jessicaengle: Unruly hair day comes for us all.
 CaptainSpam: Bow!
 lamina5432: thats a banger of a bow
 GreyThey: @7gorobei Donkey James can only say hee-haw, so we don't know
 letsbelgo: bow gaming
 RoseBitter: Donkey looks a lil like Alf
 insanecat6mtg: How many bows are we gonna get?!
 margieargie: Well I'm all for bows.  I'd rather a nametag never shows up it if it means more bows!
 MungoDude: now an unbreaking mending rod... with lure... and luck of the sea...
 Dog_of_Myth: 500
 GreyThey: It was a fish

 insanecat6mtg: Annnd a 3rd nautilus?!
 GreyThey: @RoseBitter Nautilussi
 calculated_uncertainties: did we gift so hard we went offline?
 lamina5432: an hour left to get the name tag
 RoseBitter: heehawtillus
 ContingentCat: I'm glad the llamas are getting along now
 jessicaengle: @lamina5432 After that Ben will have to join the server and help us fish
 MungoDude: finger slipped I'm betting, the buttons are right next to each other
 fonicbelt: thank you @calculated_uncertainties ! 
 NotCainNorAbel: next one is the one
  Sarah_Serinde: @jessicaengle This isn't a server, so no help for James
 ShifuDaxiongmao: from this point on, it's just pure stubbornness 
 MungoDude: @Sarah_Serinde unless he opens it to LAN
 NotCainNorAbel: well did what I could
warpstonewarlock: Goodbye everyone, may the donkey be with you
 KeytarCat: @warpstonewarlock And with your spirit
 CaptainSpam: Later we learn there's been an update we weren't aware of and they changed the loot tables for fishing.
 ShifuDaxiongmao: We believe! Everyone, send your energy!
 ContingentCat: @warpstonewarlock and also with you
 RoseBitter: rah rah rah go donkey!
 margieargie: @CaptainSpam New loot tables specifically for donkeys removing the nametag
 GreyThey: OK, so a few casts away from double the average
 ashleyturnlrr: please, Minecraft, help a donkey out.
 SnackPak_: sometimes the cod really looks like a name tag
 Mazrae: Whats the enchant on the rod?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: no enchants
 GreyThey: Unbreaking
 ShifuDaxiongmao: fresh start 
 ShifuDaxiongmao: ah, that one
 ShifuDaxiongmao: yeah, unbreaking... useless without the other ones XD
 MungoDude: 0.8% default unenchanted chance for nametag, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.9% with Luck of the Sea 1,2,3
 Mai_Andra: waiting to find out this is actually the marginally different biome that doesn't drop nametags but is otherwise identical
 GreyThey: @Mai_Andra I think jungle is the only different biome for fishing
 ShifuDaxiongmao: ^ indeed
 ShifuDaxiongmao: on the bright side, can cook the fish, not run out of food 
 MungoDude: if we're in jungle we can't get nametags, but we can get bamboo
 SnackPak_: another treasure drop and no name tag
 ShifuDaxiongmao: ah, saddle... T_T
 ShadyLantern: my kitty comes to wish you luck
 jessicaengle: kitty!
 GreyThey: @ShifuDaxiongmao A sad-dle
 MungoDude: oh wait, the treasure drops aren't actually different in jungle, only the junk drops
  Juliamon: yeah jungle just dilutes the junk drops
 RoseBitter: I'm so afraid to walk away in case something happens
 ShadyLantern: giving treasure to the donkey in hopes of a blessing
 CaptainSpam: "Please, strange donkey-human hybrid, stop feeding me nothing but fish and ocean trash."
 ShifuDaxiongmao: well, at least the trader died, so there is technically a chance for another wandering to show up and help us
 MungoDude: treasure is always 1/6 for bow, enchanted book, fishing rod, name tag, nautilus shell, saddle, and the chance of it being a treasure is 5% without luck of the sea
 insanecat6mtg: Just after 5pm and someone just set off a firework. It's not even fully dark yet. And it's sprinkling out.
 jessicaengle: @CaptainSpam He's more donkey than man, now.
 RoseBitter: @ShifuDaxiongmao silver lining
 NotCainNorAbel: have we tried asking nicely?
 KeytarCat: @jessicaengle "Donkey Man" to the tune of "Silver Bells"
  Sarah_Serinde: yes
 RoseBitter: a nice soft hee haw has been attempted
 jessicaengle: We brayed politely
 Marvoleath: @insanecat6mtg maybe they're co-celebrating with friends from Europe?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: @CaptainSpam yes
 SymphonySolstice: prayed for rain
 ShaneLeeAtk: Feel the rain
 Chartle: brayed for rain
 ShifuDaxiongmao: fishing in the rain... this game either understands donkey, or is taunting
 ContingentCat: the rain from africaaaaa
 jessicaengle: Aaaaaaaafricaaaaaa
 NorthstarTex: Good evening everyone, cool donkey!
 ShifuDaxiongmao: Good donkeying to you too
 ashleyturnlrr: AFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFRICAAAAAA
 jessicaengle: Ashley has been activated
 RoseBitter: @ashleyturnlrr  you Ashley
 ashleyturnlrr: 🥰
 NorthstarTex: The rains have been blessed!
 margieargie: I think I was still somehow able to hear that all the way on the other side of the continent
 ShifuDaxiongmao: ok, next treasure pull... for sure this time!!
NimrodXIV: if only DonkeyJames was able to ask nicely
 Marvoleath: this is a great New Eeyore's Eve
 jessicaengle: Believe!
 SymphonySolstice: 🙏
 jessicaengle: This ocean is going to be so clean
 NotCainNorAbel: have we tried demanding unpleasantly?
 calculated_uncertainties: Is new year's donkey the replacement to new year's steve?
 RoseBitter: Donkey so dedicated, he's fishing in the rain
 insanecat6mtg: I think that's nautilus number 4.
glitched_goddess: so is there a reason for fishing or is it like because we can?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: want nametag
 spo8n: I didn’t know craftmine could make you a donkey.
 ShadlynW: Must Name Donkey
 Marvoleath: @glitched_goddess trying to catch a nametag to name our donkey
 GreyThey: Need a nametag to name our donkey friend
 RoseBitter: depressed DonkeyJames
 RoseBitter: sorry ole boy
 NotCainNorAbel: So, if when you are super lucky people say to go buy a lotto ticket and that never works out; should James/Donkey be running out to go get a lotto ticket now because clearly they are due for some luck?
 SymphonySolstice: he's losing hope
 ShifuDaxiongmao: why are people writing james? this is just donkey
 calculated_uncertainties: we believe in you, Donkey!
 SnackPak_: donkey has really gone through it today
glitched_goddess: ah, forgot you can get those from fishing lol
 ShadlynW: We believe, Donkey!
 CaptainSpam: He is Donkey James.  Both are valid!
 ShifuDaxiongmao: a perfectly normal donkey that just happens to know how to play minecraft
 RoseBitter: no want bone, want tag
 calculated_uncertainties: I believe in nametags!
 jessicaengle: This is a 10/10 stream Donkey, you're doing great.
 KeytarCat: so...any thought to what our donkey friend will be named?
 protojman: throw us a frickin bone here!
 phoenixfeather14: 'tis a very talented donkey
 ShifuDaxiongmao: I hope ingame donkey gets named James 
 protojman: @KeytarCat I assumed “bits”
 ShadlynW: @KeytarCat Quixote?
 ShifuDaxiongmao: @ShadlynW just Jote... making it donkey Jote 
 ShadlynW: @ShadlynW Donkey Quixote

 lamina5432: time to named donkey was 3 hours and 20 minutes
 ShifuDaxiongmao: not gonna lie... a creeper that also took out the bed and forced a respawn at world spawn would've been a tragicomic but fitting end

  LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Bonus Stream (Ben is rocking Aethermancer on a New Years Eve Bonus Stream! Game: Aethermancer) at Wed 05:00 PM PST (34m from now).
 RealGamerCow: New speed run category: donkey%
  Juliamon: actually, a trident drowned would *also* be really funny
 ShifuDaxiongmao: he would've spawned in the nearby bed though
  Juliamon: it would be likely to hit Donkey though
 ShifuDaxiongmao: death loop possible, but still 
 loufghyslaufey: What? No! How'd it end?
  Juliamon: He got the name tag and named it Donkey
  Juliamon: And then stood there in the night rain for a minute
 ShifuDaxiongmao: and only 20 mins after stream was scheduled to end
 ShifuDaxiongmao: making it practically on time
 loufghyslaufey: Didn't even get to hear him sign off   
 ShifuDaxiongmao: you didn't hear the ee haw?
 loufghyslaufey: I turned away while finishing up my manuscript...
 ShifuDaxiongmao: it was a beautiful and fitting sign off
 jessicaengle: Warm fuzzies
 loufghyslaufey: LRR, indie up your own "Minecraft Movie."
 loufghyslaufey: I feel like every other Minecrafting channel would've started doing that since the "first" Minecraft Movie.
 Strebenherz: I mean we did just see a donkey play minecraft, that's a good mc movie
