TheMerricat:
Today's lifepro tip to myself. Before you go hunting all the sound settings on your computer because there is no music on the intro... check to see if the headphones are plugged in. 
TheAinMAP:
Juliamon: No need for Beej?
ArdCollider: o7
ArdCollider: I'd watch Beej Muyo.
RockPusher: Beej with the steel chair!
RockPusher: Beej optimising keys
ArdCollider: nite-ize S-biners, Beej.
pctjoe watched 7 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
ArdCollider: niiice. Heather, as always, I remain in awe of your power.
ArdCollider: (you me Wedge and Beej have to sit around having our various preoccupations again sometime)
gibbousm: they help you chill
RockPusher: My prediction - either next to the locks or in the fixings section
TheCactaceae: Alternatively: That's one dense key
Bruceski: I went to a different supermarket today and wandered the aisles for ages to figure out where things were. "I want X. The signs don't say X but I always just navigated my way there. What on earth was next to it that the signs would label?"

gibbousm: Fridge the Beej?
margieargie:
So, you got a call asking if your refrigerator is running? 
ArdCollider: (waits for the "FUCK" offstage)
RockPusher: Somehow the news happened
margieargie:
Bruceski: spuppy
gibbousm: is this the next game Let's Nope is playing?
LordZarano: "scary" would be real horror, "spooky" is less than that
Creideiki_SE: @gibbousm They play games on Let's Nope? I thought it was a podcast with occasional bans.
RockPusher: So a… oh
Juliamon: Certainly looks like it
TheMerricat: That looks very Ai
RockPusher: I mean, if the assets are generated then I assume the code is too so in addition to being a cheap knock-off, probably a buggy one too?
gibbousm: the paw in the latter
RockPusher:
More broadly though, yeah, the bad knock-offs of interesting concepts are gonna happen faster nowadays 
ArdCollider: I knew the dude who directed Alien Vs. Hunter for the Asylum and he was spectacularly poor at it even for them. amazing.
RockPusher: "Simulator"
margieargie: Well, write what you know
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: If it's the same Money Laundering Simulator I've seen people showcase, it's a very literal interpretation of the title.
TheMerricat: It's interesting to note that the instagram for nostra games claimed Ghostly Whiskers was going to launch "Dec 11th"
RockPusher: I don't know if I want a supple PS5
TheCactaceae: I saw someone say the green one looks like the Gonster (a cocktail mixing Guiness and Monster energy drink)
margieargie: It's like one of those magic eye things, you have to unfocus just right or whatever
LordZarano: RIFF WEBPVP8
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
RockPusher: what? you can't interpret WEBP through viewing it as ascii alone?
ArdCollider: "render out one frame of your turntable for the marketing still" is pretty common
Getter404: Mint Green and Pop Tart
Foxmar320: I linked a story in Slack about the joycons
margieargie: Or as I've seen them called and like to think about them, Jacinthe and Lebanne colored >_>
Foxmar320: Dbrand has released skin covers in the new colors because people want full color controllers
TheMerricat: Nintendo wants you to play detached, not as a dock
kingandcommoner: mARIO DESERVES A PRETTY CONSOEL
kingandcommoner: stupid capslock
Getter404: Will these skins ALSO pop off randomly after Dbrand insists you're "holding them wrong"
Foxmar320: That looks way better
TheMerricat:
Those colors make me think of the old Smarties candies we used to hate getting as kids during Halloween.
Foxmar320: Yeah the Switch 2 colors are still red and blue
Juliamon: TheMerricat whoa now, maybe YOU hated it
TheMerricat:
@Juliamon
Getter404: And Kizuna Ai
Juliamon: Finally, we can all kill Kenny ourselves
kingandcommoner: Are they going to be stretched tall?

kingandcommoner: or let us play as their WOW characters
RockPusher: "The South Park Guys" I thought literally Matt and Trey
RockPusher: 'cause that is the sort of stupid BS I also expect from Forknife
Juliamon: Kizuna Ai is like, the ur-vtuber
Juliamon: oh yes, the "please don't call it slop, it makes me sad"
kingandcommoner: They could remove all Ai features from Windows 11 and maybe I'll upgrade
RockPusher:
they could put Linux on them 
kingandcommoner: but only maybe
Julian_Rogue: Microslop
Vinewood_OG: Go directly to jail.
Juliamon: We're still at the start of the marathon, and Satya does not yet realize his shoelaces were tied together
Laserbeaks_Fury:
It's not AI's fault, we just haven't figured out how to use it right yet 
UtilityPunk: Yeah, Discord recently held a survey after their IPO asking "hey, how would you like us to add AI? Would you jump ship?" and so many people outside their sample group got the link that they had to invalidate the survey.
Strebenherz: no matter how much you hype the dying financial bubble THE BUBBLE STILL SUCKS
Invitare: AI is an investment scam that's going to crash the economy
Getter404: Product that wants to write entire documents with no human input "not a replacement"
UtilityPunk: A lot of feedback came through the Discord survey, but they lost their random/proportional sample
Strebenherz: @Invitare the emperor has no clothes and he's asking for billion dollar investments on his invisible clothes chain
RockPusher: Apple are station wagons, MS are the bicycle
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think it's clear at this point that someone at Microsoft asked ChatGPT what they should invest in and it said "more ChatGPT"
RockPusher: BeOS are the batmobiles, Linux are the tanks
Invitare: @Strebenherz And then all the wealthy people that do that suddenly realise they have no clothes, so it's time to convince other people to invest too
RockPusher:
ArdCollider:
@UtilityPunk the question is, can Discord's user populace spike enough research that they run the timeline up against any forthcoming AI bubble pop. 
badpandabear:
I wonder if Chat GPT wrote that statement ripping off Steve Jobs 
Creideiki_SE: @RockPusher With a thermonuclear word processor.
Getter404: @UtilityPunk That and the survey platform they were doing charges by response, so it likely had an automated shutoff after hitting a certain threshold

Kazman20a: it is the auto drive taxi for the mind
Doc_Layzah: More of a Segway
DoodlestheGreat: @Kazman20a It's the Driver's Ed test simulator for the mind.
RockPusher: "… capable of defeating Data."
TheMerricat:
@RockPusher Was going to say, Geordi did tell the computer to do something flat out, and that's how we got AI Moriarty.
Invitare: The thing about Star Trek's holodeck is that Trek is a post-scarcity civilisation. We are not. (and it still has problems, as Goerdi's holographic waifu Leah Brahms will attest)
Getter404: Diffuse, as in "It's no longer MY problem, it's OUR problem"
kingandcommoner: that can ba ccomplished with the right explosives
ArcOfTheConclave: Maybe a stable difusion?
Getter404: What are the odds he actually wrote this himself instead of... you know
Laserbeaks_Fury: the part they're not saying is "...so brace yourselves, because we're not stopping for a long time"
UtilityPunk: AGI coming for realsies in just another 6 months, trust us. We need you $6B investment
RockPusher: Laserbeaks_Fury they'll stop when they go out of business
kingandcommoner: CEOs need to know better than to write down their thoughts. That's how they get prosecuted
Invitare: actually that would be one thing I would back AI doing
Getter404: Oh, the Dell presentation?
Laserbeaks_Fury: "AI CEO charge with sexual harassment of subordinate AIs"
RockPusher: I have mixed feelings about the LEGO Smart Brick
Foxmar320: oh yes pls this
Foxmar320: Yessss
Getter404: Never forget the Razer Gamer COVID Mask
Juliamon: I wonder how Razer's feeling about the news lately
gibbousm: They make actually good mice as well
gualdhar: I have a razer mouse, it's great
UtilityPunk: Don't let advertisers hear about the music candy or else tasty snacks won't be the same again
Foxmar320: This thing is wild
Juliamon: this is the wildest fucking trip
Laserbeaks_Fury: I might have to get a Razor mouse soon because Logitech discontinued my G600
TheMerricat: This is weird because I only ever knew Razer as 'discount Logitech'.
kingandcommoner: A homunculus?
Getter404: That thing is going to ship as a single OLED panel that will break after EXACTLY 91 days
RockPusher: Beej, plz
Laserbeaks_Fury: Adam would be thrilled
Juliamon: Do Not Let Grok Out of the Jar
Foxmar320: Can we get it as a tiny Adam
kingandcommoner: Spell that
ArcOfTheConclave: Adam's Jar
UtilityPunk: Coming to ICUs near you T.T
ArdCollider: (sadly retracts rampaging Evangelion arms)
Juliamon: like a literal child
TheMerricat: There are going to be so many gross pictures on the internet when this comes out.....
Travilogue: Not that it makes it better, but appparently you can choose which LLM it uses
kingandcommoner: You shouldn't give games jars
Laserbeaks_Fury: Huh, do you think this thing can load Vtuber's models?
kingandcommoner: gamers*
NonjaBiru: Didn't the Miku one shut down?
Foxmar320: One of them is just actual Faker
wedge_x: yeah can I have a Ramiel waifu
UtilityPunk: I could see some streamers using it to have a fursona buddy during streams
RockPusher: Go Left!
UtilityPunk: If the character is customizable
constablecrab: Hey! Listen!
Strebenherz: I don't need navi on my desk
Foxmar320: Chat but I can turn it off
ArcOfTheConclave: Chat GPT?
Strebenherz: chat sometimes pays you!
wedge_x: 1000 bits and you get to drive the hologram for 2 minutes
Juliamon: Go Left
Laserbeaks_Fury: We are get agonizingly close to Itchy watching Diahann Carroll
margieargie: "Go left"
Strebenherz: THEY REINVENTED NAVI, bless
RockPusher: Hey! That's my job!
Mollylele: heather's layer looks cozy
Juliamon: This is *specifically* Grok
Foxmar320: It's the worst AI
UtilityPunk: Fwiw, you can turn off chat by using a wheel like Adam does
Strebenherz: Great, so I can have racist CP Navi

margieargie: Can I throw that jar into the depths of Mount Doom?
Vinewood_OG: Does the jar bring him PAIN?
Foxmar320: Give him time Beej!
Mollylele: we can easily convince him that's a good idea
kingandcommoner: I too am surprised we don't keep billionaire heads in jars
Vinewood_OG: Don't give them any more ideas.
Mollylele: by the time he realizes, it will be too late
LordZarano: @UtilityPunk Plenty of vtubers already have an AI character buddy for chat to interact with, usually with channel points or bits
Mollylele: tell him he needs to compete w/ AI jesus
badpandabear: He'll probably try that as he gets older, in an attempt at "immortality "
TheCactaceae: I was trying to remember where I saw it, but in The Verge's article on Project Ava the writer was weirded out by the feeling like it was a step or two away from flirting when it said things like "I'm the prettiest, just for you. Haha!"
UtilityPunk: We need a House Hippos ad campaign for Gen Z
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Okay, defrosting your freezer
kingandcommoner: that was stupid when tesla did it and it's stupid now
RockPusher: Crowbar's Ready!
LordZarano: Used to be that every time there was a SpaceX stream there would be like 20 fake streams with "Elon Musk" in the title that were crypto scams with deepfake endorsements. And this was like 8 years ago
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Merow!" "Okay, opening the door"
TheMerricat: But Beej. If LRR had a smart fridge, you wouldn't have had to get up to find out if it was on.
Strebenherz: so i could yell "alexa open the fridge" into people's houses to bus with them
UtilityPunk: Someone could broadcast an ultra-high-pitch recording of "fridge, open the door" from your driveway
TheAwkes: I've had fridges with just a divot in the top of the door instead of a handle and that's fine. What I don't want is a powered open/close like the trunk of my mom's SUV that can only operate electronically and is terribly slow.
TheCactaceae: convincing the AI that the room's too hot, so the fridge should be open to cool it down
Getter404: Fridge motors, famous for not making any noise whatsoever
TheAwkes: You can also install an inline switch to turn it on and off without having to move it.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Somehow, the fridge runs over people
RockPusher: You could achieve monitoring in more sane ways
Invitare: doesn't it take more time to tell the fridge to open than to open it yourself?
NonjaBiru: so if the fridge doesn't have a handle, and it only opens vie Alexa. what happens when the internet goes out?
TheMerricat: Chat the number of times my Google Nest has been activated by the stream I'm watching _without_ anyone saying anything close to "Hey Google".... and yet when I ask it to read off my schedule, I have to try 10 times before it acknowledges my voice is my voice.
Vinewood_OG:
"Ask Daredevil's girlfriend."
kingandcommoner: Can it run Crysis?
Juliamon: TheMerricat Oh same, our Home speaker somehow always hears my dad asking his phone something, but never a direct question
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Opening your fridge door in 5 minutes. Would you like to watch an ad to access your food faster?"
kingandcommoner: Didn't a fridge cause a woman to have a nervous breakdown a month or two ago?
TheMerricat:
@Laserbeaks_Fury Calm down satan.
kingandcommoner: Because it played an ad that had her name
RubikDarkwill: No Paul, it will get AI generated recipes!
UtilityPunk: Advertisers are drooling imagining you'll /pay/ to put a billboard in your kitchen
Vinewood_OG: No
TheMerricat: Smart home stuff that adds monitoring and remote control is great. Smart home stuff that replaces regular controls, or adds stuff that isn't core to the appliances purpose, sucks.
Getter404: After hearing what the Texas utility companies were doing with that a few years back, under no circumstances EVER
Snowcookies: My parents have a smart home thermostat and one time it tried to save power during one of the coldest days by turning off the thrermostat
Laserbeaks_Fury: Wasn't it a whole thing in Brazil about the bureaucracy of getting your heating system serviced?
TheMerricat:
Why not both?
RockPusher: cooperative load management isn't a bad idea, but surprising they are doing residential
Laserbeaks_Fury: *the movie, not the country
DoodlestheGreat: A crime corporation would be American.
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Nice groceries. It would be a shame if they happened to defrost."
LordZarano: There was someone who got a Samsung smart fridge who had schizophrenia who checked themself into an asylum because they thought they were having a relapse because their fridge updated and started showing ads, which it never did before, and one of those ads happened to use the person's name so they thought their fridge had started talking to them
TheMerricat: @LordZarano !!!!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Anyone remember Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf?
Vinewood_OG: Human Burrito
UtilityPunk: British Columbians know the wonder of kotatsu, and how hard getting any work done is when you're cozy warm
Doc_Layzah: @Laserbeaks_Fury Sylvester McCoy?
Getter404: Beej please, don't be silly... in China it's Honor of Kings
DoodlestheGreat: If they've done 33, and it's every two years, that would have them start in 1959, which isn't all that far back for such things.
Getter404: Honor of Kings is the CN client, yes
Laserbeaks_Fury: An elaborate scheme to let a guy play in a womens league screams of a 2000's comedy
UtilityPunk: Tons of people would show up to watch a vtuber play tbh. Easier to find a vtuber than a partner
heatherperson: Haha true @Laserbeaks_Fury ... Mrs. DoubtYou'reFiring
JadedCynic: I mean, we WERE certain of that UP to this point, Beej, but now....
Getter404: If YOUR Hornet feels weird, consult a physician.
Amentur:
Hunter's Crest gang 
kingandcommoner: New thomas the tank engine lore?
UtilityPunk: Train docking 😳

Don't assume games are playable from the factory. Cyberpunk. 
JadedCynic:
HAHAHAHAAHAH ohhhhh, Beej
UtilityPunk: Oh yeah, Sacred by Ascaron doesn't let me launch in because my PC is too new
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah, I wish I could afford an original copy of Arkham City because you can play without the DLC that was included in all later editions
JadedCynic: oh YES
JadedCynic:
air-gap your console!
TheMerricat: So how long before that is ripped and dumped to the internet as a rom.
Juliamon: It's been a bad time for LRG.
Getter404: Heard it may be a hardware-level issue, like how the first run of Switches had that jailbreak involving hotwiring the joycon connectors?
DoodlestheGreat: There will soon be a thriving trade in bootleg copies of that game.
TheCactaceae: Netflix and Chillpoint?
Wolfstrike_NL: *casts doubt*
heatherperson: hahahaha
TheMerricat: So you joke Paul but...
DoodlestheGreat: The answer to that is "probably"
wedge_x: plug++
heatherperson: butt plug-in
TheMerricat: Lovesense also runs their own interface API, and there are at least two community run ones.
UtilityPunk: Obviously, it's legitimate to use buttplugio for simulating realistic galloping vibrations for RD2
ArdCollider: Worse.
ArdCollider: It's GitGoon.
ArdCollider: can you imagine Copilot trying to help you goon more efficiently?
RockPusher: github lasted longer than expected under MS stewardship, but we knew it would fall apart eventually
ArdCollider: I've had pals have really weird experiences interviewing at GitHub.
TheMerricat: So I'm not saying that there is more to this story than what is in the article that Paul is reading, but... there are hundreds of 'naughty' type projects on github and none of them have been axed to my knowledge. I have a feeling the devs either crossed some other line and don't know/are willing to admit it.
ArdCollider: even before Copilot.
SquareDotCube: I'm starting to think there might just be a huge divide in tech that's going to be very apparent in the next few years - One side that's all about getting billions in investments to build things that barely work, and the other side that actually does passionate tech but it's on the stringiest of shoestring budgets.
LordZarano: A lot of things have moved to GitLab too
TheCactaceae: Some kind of Heather Peace Prize
RockPusher: so what are the lunarjade awards nickname?
RockPusher: The Lunars?
Juliamon: Ohe is very whimsical, one is not
Getter404: They did, actually. They 25% stopped.
Vinewood_OG: Shark tank time. Like actual hungry sharks.
SquareDotCube: man, if only they could fire a certain someone to save that money, huh?
Strebenherz: @SquareDotCube indie (actual indie not fakies indie) versus AAA games
Kentosaurus: so realistic
JadedCynic: More proof that 'the industry of finance' and 'venture capitalism' are delusional and have no connection to reality, and should be divorced from IRL economy
DoodlestheGreat: Thank Bob Funko Pops are starting to die off.
DoodlestheGreat: Can't wait to see what useless tat takes its place.
loufghyslaufey: They went the way of Toys R' Us?
JadedCynic: PAUL IS RIGHT
loufghyslaufey: Isn't that uh.... western mentality? At this point?
loufghyslaufey: I mean, what even IS Alberta?
JadedCynic: *nostalgic sigh*
JadedCynic:
@loufghyslaufey "Nothing but a miserable pile of lies." 
JadedCynic: no, Beej - make the INVESTORS and SHAREHOLDERS more money!
JadedCynic:
EVERYONE
Juliamon: And now for whimsy!
margieargie: I've no doubt this is actually good but "reddit user's basement" does NOT sound like the place someone would normally go for a better atmosphere
JadedCynic: I'm with heather - I wouldn't automatically dismiss it...
Getter404: That is entirely too much Killer Klowns
Laserbeaks_Fury: And that man was James Rolfe
JadedCynic: okay, so he got the shelves and cabinets...
DoodlestheGreat: Fixtures and furninshings.
LordZarano: The drop ceiling too
UtilityPunk: I wish someone would do that with Blockbuster
JadedCynic: actually this DOES look like I remember a GameStop looking like...
kingandcommoner: You can keep your Art the Clown head
kingandcommoner: Why? Because. How? Time and Money
Foxmar320: @UtilityPunk I believe someone did
DoodlestheGreat: Condolences to him.
Kentosaurus: ok this is a nice story
JadedCynic: ah - his dad's legacy manifested
JadedCynic: looks great
JadedCynic: and just $2k is great too
JadedCynic: it's a really nice looking collection
JadedCynic: :)\
Getter404: And he somehow has Tim Turi in the back room filming new PS3 previews
Vinewood_OG: Pressures his friends into preordering
Getter404: I'm guessing MinnMax has already dispatched top men to his location
JadedCynic:
huh, sounds like he's going for creating nostalgia content himself
JadedCynic:
Getter404: Isn't Ares Adam "Edge" Copeland?
JadedCynic: AWWW!
