lightfut: Death to chronos
flaressi: Why must we kill Chronos? Can't we just give them a time out???
TXC2:
Pretty sure it's Chronos themselves who hands out the time outs 
TXC2: Here we GO!
pawssumplace: Also why do all advertising models refuse to believe I don't own a car?
pawssumplace: yay

Getter404: AND she's the BG3 lady
foolish_s4mwise: Hades 2 is *For The Biās*
pawssumplace: I guess demi isn't an allosexual
TXC2: Hecate's abs, all 12 of them
wedge_x: this better not awaken anything in me
TriChronos: So, is "Death to Chronos" one of the taglines of the game? Every time I see someone tag a stream with it it makes me think the streamers don't like me SPECIFICALLY...
Bruceski: You CAN win on your first run, but if you go too fast Eris shows up to add speedbumps
TXC2: yeah, some dialogue REQUIRED you to die in Hades 1
TriChronos: Then I realize they're playing Hades 2
Gooseblast: Dying in Hades is so fun, you then get to talk to all the hot people!
Aitsu111: First game had the mirror of night
flaressi: I think having game mechanics and plot develop each run does take the sting off failed runs. Other roguelikes can feel rough when you make no progress
TXC2: TriChronos I think it's the driver of the plot
Jillexie: Hades 2!
baneless27: i was thinking of buying this game...
racoonius: hello
TriChronos: @TXC2 It does seem that way. I should probably play it myself.
TXC2: hello racoonius welcome
Jillexie: I have completed everything I can think of completing in this game.
Jillexie: Trying speed runs and very high Fear runs now.
baneless27: lol
racoonius: does Hades 2 have twice the amount of Hades?
Jillexie: It does
Invitare: Hypnos is just trying to help, badly

TXC2: "damn natural causes got you again huh?"
SymphonySolstice: Apollo my beloved
Bassios: Hello friends!
Invitare: they were like: "Athena's dash was so OP we have remove her from the main god pool"
TXC2: hello Bassios welcome
RatherLargeToad: Heās so shiny!
TXC2: thing is Athena dash isn't even OP, it's just the early player crutch
Feriority: Is this the first run?
TXC2: Feriority yes
SymphonySolstice: yes
RatherLargeToad: only having 30 health is a rough way for them to start you off
247Gremlin: Dat ash
TXC2: today is wikipedia day
Bassios: "Bosom mouth" is not a sentence I expected to hear this morning
Strebenherz:
Cori, their what 
Invitare: can't believe there's whalers in this game
Laserbeaks_Fury: Not the Sausage trees!
RatherLargeToad: in the last game, I almost never used the cast outside of specific weapon builds. In this one I followed ABC: Always Be Casting
TXC2:
I found traps kill me more often then not
lightfut: Cam out here just like me frfe
Jillexie: Thorn lady!
RatherLargeToad: MidBoss? From Disgaea?
Invitare: the first boss is a killer tree? Is this a Kirby game?
Jillexie: This mid-boss is not nice.
Jillexie: Also, you are missing all the upgrades you got used to in those 107 minutes.
247Gremlin: And also that once you break their armor, you can just wail on them with impunity
TXC2: 247Gremlin good old stun lock
Invitare: there's a hammer with 50% increased attack which lets you spam the omega attack
Invitare: otherwise it's too slow, yes
Jillexie: Grandma! Help us
RatherLargeToad: ponder this orb, please
SymphonySolstice: the omega cast still does damage
Aitsu111: Every time I see this game I want a plushie of the spindle enemy
Invitare: I literally never use the charge cast >_>
SymphonySolstice: I've watched about 4 or 5 streamers play this and all of them forgot the charge cast exists
247Gremlin: @Invitare Same, I have a hard time remembering to use it even when I have a boon for it.
Invitare: scariest god
SymphonySolstice: meanwhile I spam it so much
BrindleBoar: dragon deez meters
Laserbeaks_Fury: D'meter
Feriority: Steady growth this early is so good
Laserbeaks_Fury: I remember that boon being crazy good in Hades
TXC2: she has that in Hades 1, it's baller if you get it early-mid game

iris_of_ether: Running at you like a badass?
Invitare: Muscle Witch
RatherLargeToad: and now your attack makes pew pew laser noises, so thatās a plus
TheAwkes: Why would I take an on-damage ability? If I get hurt it means I'm bad, even if the effects are good and will improve my chances!
hyalopterous: Habs
kusinohki: is hades 2 available for ps5?
Coinman1863: Yep!
HiimDant:

OpenYourEels4TheNextFeels: oh wow, I never noticed that

TXC2:

bytecaster: I was told we would never get hit again
TXC2:
turns out I had abs, they were just under 30 pounds of fat
kusinohki: if my future self was ripped, it might make me work out less... "guess it's destined"
HiimDant:
why would I care about healthbars? the only important point of health is the last one
SymphonySolstice: get sheeped
247Gremlin: #sheepmode

Invitare: Hades is the eldest
ContingentCat: even more, imagien your little brother being Zeus
TXC2: but yeah being Zeus' Brother had to suck
hyalopterous: Hades is the most responsible too
Laserbeaks_Fury: Hades had to run the underworld, one of them would have gotten it wrong.
kusinohki: "careful, that is family you're talking about.... but you're not wrong" - Hades, skin game
RatherLargeToad: you win a drink from the firehose!

EvilBadman: _six of 'em_
SymphonySolstice: hear me out,
HiimDant: "so I got this new anime plot"
ContingentCat: lol I was just thinking how catgirls never have the appropriate number of boobs
Invitare: who gave this tree a machine gun
kusinohki: instead of the punch dimension his eyes are a portal to the boob dimension??
SymphonySolstice: rude
Laserbeaks_Fury: There's a "ignore run" button?
hyalopterous: TOAD
DarktanUK: @ContingentCat Waiting on the biblically accurate catgirl
Invitare: it occurs to me that Frinos is basically Hypnos in this game
kusinohki: hypnos the toad??
Getter404: But Liquid
Laserbeaks_Fury: I appreciate the used the same models for the Witches in the first game for the NPC Witches here
EvilBadman: He didn't go through with the undo
Invitare: no he backed out and continued normally
PhanTom_lt: Have they played this game before?
Juliamon: They have, to varying degrees
TXC2: PhanTom_lt a bit, but this is a new playthrough
ContingentCat: gesundheit
Juliamon: they will be loading up a more advanced save later
Laserbeaks_Fury: I can't believe the Fates predicted you would *reads scroll* "Mine some Silver"
BrowneePointz: seeing him without a beard still hits me with psychic damage
TXC2: "this girl is a wreck! she need some guidance!"
SymphonySolstice: we have demonstrated a loo0
BrowneePointz: the fates want us to mine!? better call them the mOREoi amirite?
SymphonySolstice: loop*
SymphonySolstice: tity
HiimDant: waow

SymphonySolstice: twisteeeed
mercano82: I love Sea Star early
TXC2: "I'm getting Frothed!"
SymphonySolstice: I love the little yippee guys
Laserbeaks_Fury: Did they keep the thing where you had to choose between two boons and piss one of the gods off?
BrowneePointz: Also Cori, I always thought the level shading in this was reminiscent of Copic Markers
EvilBadman: @Laserbeaks_Fury Yep
BrowneePointz: ooo cross cataclysm
TheAwkes: Havel, the Rock
BrowneePointz: speaking of Kenshiro itās a shame heās being added to City of the Wolves

cherryblossomchef: @Invitare meme beam was the best build
SymphonySolstice: I love women
BrowneePointz: Artemis is helping! also get prepared for good little friends with her!
BrowneePointz: LOOK AT THE QUAIL!!!
Getter404: "I spend most of my time with bears and harts, not really into this whole 'speaking' thing"
SymphonySolstice: death warrant can be good
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah, in Hades she felt like she didn't like people, but maybe it was just Zagreus
BrowneePointz: sheās part of the Silver Sisters(your coven) so thereās like a Sororitorial? feel to her in this
Invitare: @Laserbeaks_Fury Artemis, in myth, did not get along with men. Ever.
RockPusher: "Splashing Around"
iris_of_ether: Just Nymph Things
Invitare: that's why she's friendlier with Melinoe
BrowneePointz: depends on the myths too. Artemis Selene and Hecate were sometimes seen as a triplicate moon goddess
BrowneePointz: a reminder that Grecian religion was not neat and tidy
TXC2: and covered like 700 years
BrowneePointz: way more than 700
BrowneePointz: some of the mystery cults went all the way back to Mycenaean era
RockPusher: Aphrodite relying on those godly powers to perfectly place hair
BrowneePointz: I love how Charon is just JACKED
margieargie: And over a wide area where even with the shared culture each city-state could have their own different ideas, or even more granular than that sometimes
TXC2: all that rowing he does
Getter404: "'sup witch?"
BrowneePointz: Granny with washboard abs
RockPusher: BrowneePointz Charon is a rower, rowers are jacked, checks out
TheWriterAleph: ab witch ab witch ab witch
SymphonySolstice: charon is jacked from carrying the entirety of this game
DrLigmaPhD: @BrowneePointz My boyfriend has given me a full 20 minutes on the changing visual depiction of Apollo
BrowneePointz: we Stan buff old women
TXC2: speaking to that, the Woman who played Ice on American Gladiators did a bodybuilding show age 67
TXC2: *recently did
RockPusher: Game bullying Cameron specifically
SymphonySolstice: babyyy
ContingentCat: how dare they not consider Cam specifically
TheWriterAleph: Li'l Baby Two-Arms, we call her
Invitare: I've only done one chapter of it, but I'm really enjoying his story so far
SymphonySolstice: hypnos has terminal eepy disease
Getter404: b'oh
BrowneePointz: also fun fact, while Hecate is known as the āwitchcraftā goddess (sheās more like ancient divine of transitory elements including invoking magic), her chosen familiar was actually a Dog! not a cat as in common folklore!
mercano82: Fourth wall broken
OpenYourEels4TheNextFeels: Narrator is Homer confirmed.!
BrowneePointz: common modern witch* folklore
BrowneePointz: also love her pauldrons because unearthed effigies show her having a triple headed motif for past present and future!
BrowneePointz: so they put that into her design
BrowneePointz: I also love that MelinoĆ«ās name comes from the color of a melon which the Greek associated with the pallor of death
RockPusher:

Hi friends! 
RandomTrivia: I almost forgot about Talking Simulator featuring the hit sequel to Bisexual Disaster Simulator, Bisexual Disaster Simulator 2!
RandomTrivia:
TheMerricat: mmmmm Death Mellons.
OpenYourEels4TheNextFeels: I remember someone pointing out after the reveal that the narrator is Homer the the 2 Hades games are comparable to Homer's 2 biggest work. The original is the Iliad (ex. Is about leaving home, includes Achilles as a significant character), Hades 2 is the Odyssey (ex. Is about returning home, includes Odysseus as a significant character)
EvilBadman: Hades II playthrough, night 16/365
hyalopterous: I like Dora's hard hat
Invitare: she has a GUN
hyalopterous: It's the gun from Hades 1
Bruceski: Eris self-identifies as a Problem

SymphonySolstice: I have it default to selene to start every run
hyalopterous: I like Arachne's
RedAlexxis: juice is not good for baby teeth, so much sugar!
BrowneePointz: Xinth has the buff
BrowneePointz: yea you donāt get to see Hera until the first time you go up
ContingentCat:
Nope your gays are right here 
EvilBadman: you will have it
BrowneePointz: you use Magic to override the Fate Divined ordening of being a Cthonic Being bound to the Underworld
starlitdiscord: best frog
hyalopterous: TOAD
hyalopterous: Frinos is Greek for Toad
RatherLargeToad:
frogs are honorary toads
BrowneePointz: prepare for a 10/10 music theme

Cptasparagus: squares are rectangles
DrasonSpike: The hexs get pretty busted
SymphonySolstice: bonus ability you can upgrade it to
BrowneePointz: like th meteor one with Hestia gives you multiple flaming meteor s
SymphonySolstice: this works kinda like the god meter in hades 1
EvilBadman: This replaces the Calls from H1
BrowneePointz: oh dang no Hestia, was hoping Cam would get to see her design, she looks *rad*
SymphonySolstice: we saw hestia earlier
BrowneePointz: our very rightfully angry cousin
BrowneePointz: ah sorry I was late to stream
OpenYourEels4TheNextFeels: @BrowneePointz She showed up in the run before the break I thing
Invitare: it IS Heracles
SymphonySolstice: cam played a fresh file for the first part
OpenYourEels4TheNextFeels: *think
Gekyouryuu: Ah, heck, work kept me busy and now I'm like half the stream late
SymphonySolstice: she's so pwetty
BrowneePointz: but yea Heracles, rightfully, has a MASSIV chip on his shoulder
Jillexie: Little Star
SymphonySolstice: lunar ray my crutch
BrowneePointz: which is needed cuz the Up route is *noticeably* harder than going down
hyalopterous: Hermes is always there too
Invitare: Charon just need to row harder
hyalopterous: mo money, mo problems
starlitdiscord:
boat cannot mountain 
ContingentCat: not with that attitude
RockPusher: Melinoƫ with the magic of "having money"
BrowneePointz: Charonās sisters said he literally canāt
Morrigan9: i had to row uphill both ways!

TheWriterAleph: boat boat boat!
BrowneePointz: the Rift of Thessaly!
RatherLargeToad: anachronistic boats!
SymphonySolstice: heard you liked the barge from the first game, here have an entire area of it
RandomTrivia:
A boat? Must be temporary - surely nothing like that ever Styx
Cptasparagus: i had forgotten John Goodman was on the West Wing until rewatching it a few weeks ago. What an actor.
BrowneePointz: trireme
BrowneePointz: yea itās a very Spanish/english/french ship
RatherLargeToad: there is some dialog at some point where they point out how weird the boats are to them
RedAlexxis: would be a terrible fighting arena though
wedge_x: HELM 108
RatherLargeToad: they blame Chronos for weird time boats
hyalopterous: Yeah, I don't think Greek Triremes had wheels
SymphonySolstice: squib
Morrigan9: just have to put 1000's of liters of JP fuel on your eyes
EvilBadman: I hate this dude
RockPusher: Hey Maw!!!
Invitare: imagine your arm turning into a sheep
BrowneePointz: way bigger
RedAlexxis: Very Everything Everywhere All at Once
EvilBadman: Yeah with going up or down, it's on the base level 2x as big
SymphonySolstice: the game at the beginning of early access was already bigger than hades 1
BrowneePointz: Iāve played since day one of early access and was shocked when I found out you could go UP
BrowneePointz: when it was already bigger than 1 goin DOWN
hyalopterous: WOOO
EvilBadman: I need to catch up on the gdq run of this. 6 Weapons, alternating paths

RatherLargeToad: G I R T H

RockPusher: roast mutton
SymphonySolstice: charon's drip ship
BrowneePointz: Question Cam, have you read the recent translation of The Odyssey by a WOMAN that removed a lot of the Victorian era cultural paving over/misogyny?
RedAlexxis: Ship of the line
hyalopterous: What do think he does with all that gold
Invitare: why didn't he use this boat to transport the Queen and Prince of the Underworld at the end of the first game?
BrowneePointz: anyways I recommended to chat
BrowneePointz: it*
BrowneePointz: comes off a bit clinical and loses a bit of the poetry of the word?
EvilBadman: so Eris has the adamnt rail attacks you could do in H1
BrowneePointz: with HER ASPECT!
Jillexie: The Eris version of the rail
RatherLargeToad: aspect of Eris
Jillexie: Which was also my favorite aspect of the rail.
BrowneePointz: cuz she was always destined to wield the rail
BrowneePointz: unfortunately that time is right now
hyalopterous: Nemesis has the sword
RatherLargeToad: her unrivaled fight is almost easier than the base version, in some ways
chaostreader: @ratherlargetoad Strong disagree.
BrowneePointz: so yea that awesome granny Hestia we saw earlier Cam? sheās the one who wielded GUN against chronos, which makes me cackle thinking about
Invitare: it's unfair how she can switch between hammers
RockPusher: hmmmmā¦ translations like map projections - you have to make trade-offs since you can't perfectly represent it our of its original context
RockPusher: fun analogy to play with
SymphonySolstice: woo
aitsu100: nice
Getter404: Magic pixel!
hyalopterous: WOOOOOOOO
RockPusher:
TheWriterAleph: very Jinx
hyalopterous: and of course she drops a gold apple

Getter404: "For the fairest"
ArdCollider: Kallisti!
BrowneePointz: yeeeep that was Eris
Invitare: You'd think Athena would know better tbh
Cptasparagus: robits
BrowneePointz: Athena is vain as hell
BrowneePointz: look what she did to Arachne
SymphonySolstice: speaking of
ContingentCat: lol Athena chooses violence every time
Invitare: she's the goddess of deflect dash
RedAlexxis: hephaestus creates good robots with bad AI, still better than Elon
TheMerricat: She's using MEDUSA's head as a shield? That's messed up
DrLigmaPhD: She's the best idea he ever had
Cptasparagus: the spear does too
Invitare: when you take her dash in this she comments that it was "your brother's favourite"
BrowneePointz: Hephaestus is my favorite design in this game hands down. heās disabled, heās fat, but heās still allowed to he physically desirable AND powerful
BrowneePointz: be* damnit autocorrect
RandomTrivia:
ContingentCat: yeaaaah I'd have a lot of feelings about that
DrLigmaPhD: If it's "Father's favorite" thats just Last Crusade
BrowneePointz: anyways my fave Hera boon makes your cast auto inflict hitch on things
BrowneePointz: makes it VERY easy to set up a full room Kaboom
SymphonySolstice: no talos, sad
RandomTrivia: Outplayed
BrowneePointz: yea robot is Talos!
DrLigmaPhD: Aphrodite calling you terrifying is the highest compliment really
SymphonySolstice: hi birb
Getter404: Something tells me it isn't the Prancing Pony
TheWriterAleph: didn't they take Anduril for something?
lightfut: Like named after one of the towers or something
Cptasparagus: yes Anduril is a thing
BrowneePointz: I LOVE that her vitiligo makes her look soot smudged
RedAlexxis: oh no
Cptasparagus: Palmer Luckey
BrowneePointz: bulge incoming avert eyes
RedAlexxis: pants
DrLigmaPhD: @BrowneePointz I refuse
RandomTrivia: Oh lordy it's right there
TheMerricat:
SymphonySolstice: the budgie smuggler
ContingentCat: !sir
LRRbot: Sir? Sir! How does taxidermy change the mouthfeel of a dead goose?
Getter404: I looked at the trap Ray.
RatherLargeToad: which sounds a lot like Twilight Town for some reason
Gaelan_Maestro: oh my
DarktanUK: Eyes up here
tehfewl: ok, i just tuned into this
BrowneePointz: Okay hereās my one gripe with this game
RandomTrivia: It's fine, just look slightly further up, the abs are right there
lightfut: On they named something actually sauron
DrLigmaPhD: I'm not looking respectfully at all
BrowneePointz: Heās the party god! whereās the cushion!
ghizmou: dionysus has strong Jeff Goldblum vibes
niccus: thank you for alerting me to know when to look
RedAlexxis: banana hammock
DarktanUK: "box"
ghyllnox: It's just a soft sphere, no biggie
Juliamon: god of wine without a beer belly, shame
morgwen921: I alt tabbed from my game to look
BrowneePointz: I cannot abide a god of hedonism being a gym body
ghyllnox: @Juliamon ^
BrowneePointz: he should be a lil plump
RandomTrivia: That does seem odd
SymphonySolstice: I do love that his first reaction to seeing melinoe is thinking zag transitioned
RockPusher: Shouldn't we call it a goon bag for dionysis?
RandomTrivia:
RockPusher 
BrowneePointz: (he was in figurines as well)
Roszara: hes also the g0d of sexy so...
morgwen921: Only doing sets in between sips
BrowneePointz: exactly which is why most of his statues showed him with wide hips and caked up like hell @roszara
BrowneePointz: and Iām not joking
RedAlexxis: oh! the pause thing against Chronos! So Good!
BrowneePointz: yea they removed the chronos stopping pauses because it was an accessibility issue
BrowneePointz: it was a neat idea but not great
RedAlexxis: Yeah, understandable
SymphonySolstice: I understand why they removed it but god it was a good gimmick
RedAlexxis: but now he grumbles so hard when you do
tehfewl: big number good
SymphonySolstice: hi clive ff16
RatherLargeToad: Hey Clive
BrowneePointz: hi Ben Starr
Getter404: Suddenly, Ben Starr!
Jillexie: Prometheus Starr
DarktanUK: Co-dependent relationship
Cptasparagus: he's the bullwinkle to the eagle's rocky
BrowneePointz: the Unrivaled version of this fight gives me anxiety
SymphonySolstice: I was surprisingly fine with this unrivaled fight, the typhon one, on the other hand
DrLigmaPhD: @Cptasparagus Cursed fanart request
BrowneePointz: I love that heās both the Titan of flame AND foresight
TheMerricat:
For being the titan of foresight, he sure isn't seeing any of these attacks coming.... 
TheWriterAleph:
SymphonySolstice: gdq taught me that you can just dodge into these
ContingentCat: talk about tossed salad and scrambled eggs
SymphonySolstice: and I'm so mad
chaostreader: only 5.
Getter404: "And then there might be goatmen with rockets that I can turn into sheeps" is somehow a sentence that makes perfect sense
BrowneePointz: but yea heās Titan of flame and foresight because some Greek seers would gaze into ritual fires to attempt to divine the future
BrowneePointz: which is neat!

SymphonySolstice: time for jetpacks
Getter404: Jason and the Argonauts: Iron-Blooded Orphans
SymphonySolstice: kibby
EvilBadman: Eris also gives you a similar curse on the first 10 runs of the game, if you're doing /too/ good
Invitare: Claudia Winklemen
SymphonySolstice: fire ze lazors
NorthstarTex: @SymphonySolstice but I'm le tired
RatherLargeToad: the shoulder blinks at me
EvilBadman: New Choas who dis
RedAlexxis: There was a mad person who completed a whole run using just the cat to do damage ... Truly wild
hyalopterous: New Chaos has much better drip
NorthstarTex: New chaos is NB Goals.
EvilBadman: Soooo slow
Getter404: You can't spell Melinoe without a dollar sign... wait no
EvilBadman: RP walkin'
Getter404: nyoom
SymphonySolstice: ok!
EvilBadman: the charge attack also blocks projectiles
Invitare: I have not been able to use this thing with attack yet
Invitare: the missiles with Hera, on the other hand...
SymphonySolstice: spood
RandomTrivia: D'awwwww
RandomTrivia: SO CUTE
Invitare: she's also really sassy about the gods
paulthemapguy: I have decided that Cori + Cameron = Cormorant, which are really cool diving birds
RedAlexxis: becasue cats are needle-infused murder machines
Sundrall: Isn't more she is being punish for her hubris in claiming to be better than Athena/
chaostreader: @sundrall It depends on the version of the myth.
RandomTrivia: BWEEEEE
SymphonySolstice: love me some lazer beam
paulthemapguy: omg lazer cats
4 raiders from JackalCostuming have joined!
RandomTrivia: *mrow*
JackalCostuming: Hello all - have a wonderful stream. Plus I absolutely love this game. :_
JackalCostuming:
TheMerricat: Chat, I love games like Hades, but you know what I'd really love out of one of these? Once you've 'beat' the game once, it lets you pick your loadout completely just so you can vibe and powerstomp through everything for the fun of it.
RatherLargeToad: I saw a video of someone clearing a run with just cat damage. it took a while
Invitare: Demeter's Rush is the secret tech there
RedAlexxis: sometimes you get turned into a rat
paulthemapguy: would your intestines have a rectangular cross-section as well?
SymphonySolstice: I think I got pig from this
RatherLargeToad: pig
EvilBadman:
You can dodge /through/ the curse too 
TehAmelie subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 123 months!
TehAmelie: I'm a count!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, TehAmelie! (Today's storm count: 11)
Invitare: I've only seen Sheep and Pig
RatherLargeToad: usually if you are using the Circe trinket
TheMerricat: Are sheep derpy because they are sheep or are they derp because we bred them without regard to what we were doing to them other than making more/better wool?
Greyah: My favorite is making Frinos eat the sheep projectile.
Cptasparagus: oof same
TehAmelie: i think sheep are just goofy cause they're drawn that way
RatherLargeToad: Hephaestus cast is fun
paulthemapguy: for some reason I always picture a derpy sheep when someone says "sherpa"
paulthemapguy: but that of course is not what a sherpa is
lightfut: Forge God love weapon, that tracks
DrLigmaPhD: That man was considered ugly?
EvilBadman: š¶Leave us be, donāt stir the waters
RatherLargeToad: time to visit Lego Batman
EvilBadman: Narcissus Cage
lightfut: Yeah definite nick cage vibes in that voice
Getter404: "Put the bunny back in the box"
EvilBadman: Peach, i could eat a peach for hours
lightfut: Oh no the bees not the bees!?
Getter404: OHNO
SymphonySolstice: we're da rats
RatherLargeToad: hate this rat
paulthemapguy: Portland has a restaurant called Pizza Schmizza
EvilBadman: Oh lol, mine's still named "Oh No"
TheWriterAleph: i love his iconic line from Willy's Wonderland: "..."
DideRobot:
LRR: Join us tomorrow, January 16th at 4:00PM Pacific for one heck of a spicy Friday Night Paper Fight! | Prerelease weekend for Lorwyn Eclipsed is upon us and we here at LoadingReadyRun are celebrating with a 8 Player Collector Booster Draft! | Tune in live, or catch the VOD later! š (has image) | https://kind.social/@LoadingReadyRun/115901722032914503
JackalCostuming: Not for anything, but the āHow in the name of Zeus's butthole did you get out of your cell?ā in The Rock floored me.
TehAmelie: "Cyrus, it's your barbecue, and it smells fine"
SymphonySolstice: oh!
ContingentCat: Oh noooo
RandomTrivia: Oof
RandomTrivia: I'm sure the explosion SFX hold up well, at least
TehAmelie: i watch Armageddon at least once a year
Invitare: Gramps timenapped us
RatherLargeToad: oh goody. giant bomb guys
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm late! So far what has the discussion been focused on
TheWriterAleph: @Thefluffiestguineapig Nic Cage
EvilBadman: I haven't checked recently, but there's been a mod to go to the H1 Biomes in H2
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!)
TehAmelie: it can be educational too
hyalopterous: But Supergiant really does their homework
paulthemapguy: leveraging your cultural literacy is why some people use idioms at every possible moment
Thefluffiestguineapig: For me I had some qualms about how thing's were depicted simply because almost none of the particular deities were angry. Or dionysis had all the "grape juice" stuff
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ares is also SO CALM
Invitare: Ares is calm because he's currently having the time of his life
EvilBadman: Get ready to get ear wormed
RatherLargeToad: to be fair, the player is also a god, so they get benefits
TehAmelie: at least they're completely unreasonable when they make you choose one of them over another
Getter404: Still can't believe this is Blonde Blazer from Dispatch
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Invitare I disagree, he talks about strategy which is antithetical to his whole deal
DrLigmaPhD: At least in this game there's a conflict to compel some degree of cooperation
lightfut: Scylla having merch lol
definenull:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ares is about slaughter and glorying in violence, and him complimenting strategic decisions feels wrong
Thefluffiestguineapig: This song is a banger
Jillexie: Hee dis track that is totally not about Mel.
EvilBadman: This game is so rude for 2nd boss being a 3v1 also
Thefluffiestguineapig: None of the dis tracks being about Mel at all
DrLigmaPhD: Ares listens religiously to The Rogan Experience
Thefluffiestguineapig: Athena vs. Ares is a big deal in Mythology that they just gloss over and give Athena's warrior traits to Ares in large part
Dog_of_Myth:
Werdnae: This song is great, and I love that it's digetic and parts drop out of it as you defeat the band members, and the lyrics get muffled when she hides in her shell
KeytarCat: oh yeah, this song!
BartholemewTheKitten: Farewell Erebus, hope you find the Northwest Passage
Invitare: Now Cori, this song is not about you. Scylla said so herself
TehAmelie: ha, i never had opportunity to listen to the lyrics
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ares's sons are Terror and I think Fear? Phobos and Deimos specifically focused on battlefield terror and horror that he glories in inducing
RedAlexxis: Bewitching Eyes is such a good rock ballad
EvilBadman: @RedAlexxis Also totally not about Mel either
BartholemewTheKitten: You make kitty work??
RedAlexxis: @EvilBadman totally!
Invitare: Bouldy's aggro cousins
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BartholemewTheKitten Yes! Kitty can help take out enemies to make work go faster
EvilBadman: Agreed, Cameron. Both H1 and Hollow Knight read as the tutorials for their sequels.
SymphonySolstice: I hate the punchy guys in this area the most
BartholemewTheKitten: @Thefluffiestguineapig I just figure making cats work is a good way to end up in jail for a thousand years
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BartholemewTheKitten In one way yes, in another way Toula volunteered
TehAmelie: but if cats like you they want to copy your activities, they might like work
Invitare: City of Ephyra is basically that
RatherLargeToad: this place has the vampire miniboss that they ended up nerfing post launch
RatherLargeToad: ah, speak of the devil
SymphonySolstice: it may feel cleaner but I still die repeatedly to theseus and astarion
RatherLargeToad: it used to basically heal to full any time it hit you
Invitare: it's not filled with blood anymore
ContingentCat: Good soup
lightfut: Oh man, Gary Oldman just eating in that movie
TehAmelie: sorry, what movie was this?
Usoki7: @RatherLargeToad As someone who lost a run to the "immortal summon Hex constantly heals vampire" condition, the nerf was very welcome.
RatherLargeToad: @usoki7 yeah, was not a fun boss
Dog_of_Myth: Yeah, it's a very good movie
SymphonySolstice: free that pubby
TehAmelie: ah, i should rewatch it
EvilBadman: @RatherLargeToad you OR if you had a Hexed mob, them too
aitsu100: time to give the dog a bath
Dread_Pirate_Westley: Cerberus is a good dog.
ContingentCat: Maybe I'll watch that later then, I've been watching Pluribus but find Carrol so insufferable
TehAmelie: beat the devil out of him
RedAlexxis: Tridoggo!
KeytarCat: The new cerberus incursion in nightreign is awful
SymphonySolstice: dogy
Dog_of_Myth: Good dog
aitsu100: freshly laundered doggo
lightfut: Such a good boi
ArdCollider: the Dropout "a political ad designed to appeal to only one voter" is like Pluribus Cliffs Notes.
aitsu100: he went out and got all muddy
TehAmelie: in my experience that boss fight is a very realistic depiction of giving a dog a bath
Territan: Is the midboss of this level Clock King?
SymphonySolstice: it's a big rat
TehAmelie: i've never been strong enough that i wanted to take the shortcuts
ContingentCat: Most the reason I started watching Pluribus was because I was told there'd be lesbians. It's 2026 do we still have to be burying the gays
RatherLargeToad:
which one?
Jillexie: Except they changed things in the ending.
aitsu100: they actually changed it from the OG 1.0 release
RatherLargeToad: they drastically changed it after launch
Thefluffiestguineapig: The new ending is so much better with better agency
Jillexie: I only ever saw the fixed ending and didn't understand why people were complaining about it
EvilBadman: Yeah the old ending Zag basically just took over the agency of the ending on his own
Usoki7: The 1.1 release does help a lot with the "Zagreus shows up out of nowhere and solves everything" vibes that the 1.0 ending had.
RedAlexxis: a bit of a novel idea for Greek gods
Getter404: The big sticking point was Melinoe having any agency in the decision, which is more than fair
RatherLargeToad: not originally. original ending Melinoe was out for blood the whole time
ErynTzun: Ooooohh
niccus: what if chronos had some chronic
Simriel: Hades Nutz!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Jillexie OG ending Zag just went behind Mel's back and it was all undermining everyone and no one but Chronos and Zag knew about the timeline
idontgetmyrealname: weaponized therapy speak? but this isn't bluesky!
RandomTrivia:
So are the hot people!
SymphonySolstice: game lovingly crafted once again
RatherLargeToad: @thefluffiestguineapig to be fair, that is very on brand for Zagreus
RedAlexxis: @RandomTrivia both sexy and temperature wise
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RatherLargeToad Him undermining everything and everyone? Possibly but not giving Melinoe any input at all felt like trash
Usoki7: @RatherLargeToad Sure, but it's not Zagreus's game anymore. That was my issue, at least.
EvilBadman: 2025 was an embarrassment of riches
Getter404: Sha
RedAlexxis: ooh!
TehAmelie: i'm sure i will enjoy it when i catch up
Simriel: I have not Songed any Silk yet
Usoki7:
Skong 
Simriel: Ā£
Simriel: @getter404 Hagali!
RedAlexxis: um, .... yes?
ContingentCat: Hollow knight is such a great game I'm terrible at but it's so cute
RandomTrivia: Oh Cameron, honey
aitsu100: lol
Thefluffiestguineapig: The False Knight?
ghyllnox: Well good news, at least one of those people turns out okay
ErynTzun: Gub bug bye!
Anubis169: look at that muffin go!

SymphonySolstice: I always knew this
Simriel: Dude. Why.
ContingentCat: Oh god
Anubis169: Steven still can't get a mortgage
ErynTzun: Super long hair like dad
Anubis169: !schedule
ErynTzun: But curly
ghyllnox: His mom had great hair though
Simriel: @anubis169 His dad is Rich. It's fine.
ladyjessica: Rebecca sugarās latest music videos have been great
SymphonySolstice: rue teens
ladyjessica: and heart stabbing.
ContingentCat: Oh yeah I heard Rebecca Sugar is working on a Moomins movie I so want to see
Anubis169: Moomins?
Anubis169: please don't screw it up.. please don't screw it up.. please don't screw it up.. please don't screw it up..
Anubis169: That's us
Anubis169: we're us
RandomTrivia:
Thanks for the stream, Cori and Cam!
TehAmelie: Sugar hasn't dropped the ball yet, that i know
ErynTzun:
TheWriterAleph: BABA is WIN
TehAmelie: just think how they had to cheat and lie and ambush the producers to sneak a lesbian relationship into Steven Universe. . .
