Juliamon: hello chat, I hope you are all staying comfy and safe, wherever you are
letfireraindown: wisconsin... This is a harsh reminder of what winter can be!
letfireraindown: Stay warm!
PharaohBender27: Am safe and reasonably warm (though it's not as bad on the West Coast by any means). Will only catch a bit of this stream due to needing to make dinner.
Juliamon: it is fortunately cold enough for the snow to be powdery, so less likely to cause power outages
Juliamon: and also fortunately not so cold as to put us in exploding tree range
Juliamon: and thirdly fortunately, I don't have anywhere I need to be until Friday
Juliamon: and lastly fortunately, I have this crepe cream cake
Juliamon:

ladyjessica: hello everyone
TheMerricat: Confirmation bias time but are we hearing a lot more from Windows on LRR streams this year?
Juliamon: Windows has been ramping up its annoyingness
Bruceski: Previously on Clair Obscur: everything was FINE.
Juliamon: like, in general
Sylenctone: Windows has gotten esp annoying
Juliamon: so I guess the answer is "yes, because Microslop"
BraveOthello: @Bruceski And will continue to be fine ... right?
TheMerricat:
Well this theme gave me a pavlovian response.. I was about to pop open youtuve to check to see if I had homework. 
PharaohBender27:
Juliamon: Fuck the intro I guess
Juliamon: oh, there we go
Strebenherz: I was about to say
chaos5896: got em
adept_nekomancer: Intro successful!
Strebenherz: @TheMerricat same, but because i made the mistake of setting the checkpoint theme as my ringtone
TheMerricat watched 25 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
TheMerricat:
@Strebenherz
adept_nekomancer: Heather's sweater is very appropriate for the weather in much of the US today.

e_bloc: who are you to tell me what time it is
BraveOthello: @e_bloc Heather and Ian, that's who
ladyjessica: rotary phones were fun to play with
e_bloc: @BraveOthello this is the house of lies
ladyjessica: I have sense memory of those things
e_bloc: at least we're not the UK where emergency services is 999---the longest number to dial
TheMerricat:
The wholesome version of party lines chat. Cause we know there are other types too...
flyingPancake12: ian didn't you ever dial most of the number and then dial the last number when it was time to try to be the first caller?
e_bloc: menage a call
PharaohBender27: Huh
BraveOthello: Clever use of wire fencing
putz12a: For me, it was that it needed to be cold enough that the buses wouldn't start... and even then, I had to go to school, because I lived close enough that I didn't take the bus
SaxPython:
PharaohBender27: Dang, Ian beat me to it
ladyjessica: she shadow nose
RatherLargeToad: is it the Shadow?
PharaohBender27: (I know about The Shadow from my father, who was born in the 40's)
PharaohBender27: The Theater of the Mind!
SaxPython: Shout out to A Praire Home Companion
Wolfstrike_NL: What I hear is we need more qwerpline
Juliamon: applause for that segue
Strebenherz: what if i want to
SaxPython:
PharaohBender27: So, it'd be like calling someone from the U.S. South "Yankee"
ladyjessica: tabarnak câlice
Bruceski: Where I grew up it we had Juniper, which was very easy to climb and taught you how to clean sap.
Juliamon: pine sap is a remarkably underutilized superglue
Strebenherz: magic
southern_woodsman: Pine sap also makes a great gum if you're in a pinch
SaxPython: "Their Cabbages"
Laserbeaks_Fury: I wanna see more Bikes that transform into Powerarmor
StreetRach: Are the people in the game still having fun?
Strebenherz: *hall of the mountain king starts playing*
flyingPancake12: @StreetRach were the people in the game ever having fun?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Did we look outside before stopping last time?

e_bloc: so claire is no longer obscured?
BraveOthello: It would be so funny if the game cut to credits right now
RandomTrivia:
I'd be pretty distracted if I were looking at a painting and some railing were happening in front of me 
PharaohBender27: Man, Ian and Heather were *much* more adventurous than I was as kids
Juliamon: I *WANTED* stairs so I could do that
e_bloc: jumping down there stairs is peak child behavior
Juliamon: but our only stairs were into the basement, straight into a concrete wall
Laserbeaks_Fury: I forget, is Alicia's piano song different from Maelle's?
PharaohBender27: Oh dear
e_bloc: our stairs were about a foot and a half from the front door, so it could have gone wrong easily

e_bloc: damn adept I was right there
PharaohBender27:
@adept_nekomancer 
RandomTrivia:
StreetRach: More a manor of painting
SaxPython:
RandomTrivia:
So this whole painting thing is just a pigment of our imagination
TheMerricat:
@RandomTrivia 
e_bloc: someday I'll have to actually learn the lore of this game
RandomTrivia: @TheMerricat ... yeah, I deserved that
TheMerricat: I don't like that noise.
StreetRach: Devora Wilde (Lae'zel) is quite good at playing strict characters.
e_bloc: @StreetRach oh wow I didn't even clock that
PharaohBender27:
StreetRach: Writers vs Painters
Bruceski: So this is a shared universe with Myst?
adept_nekomancer: So in this setting, the fine arts are the fine arts of war.
Laserbeaks_Fury: If you look, Alicia's room has typewriters in it.
e_bloc: I thought I kinda grasped the mythos from various streams, but now I realize I am so in the dark
TheMerricat: FUCK YOU sister.
StreetRach: Which is mightier? The quill or the brush.
consolecowboy88: wait so it’s hunger games all this time?
Juliamon: So, someone last week was asking about the artistic symbolism
Juliamon: As you can see, it's... a lot
e_bloc: it'll make for a good deep dive at work sometime this week
Bruceski: There's a painting of one of the Axons that has been painted over with the burning manor.
StreetRach: Aline
PharaohBender27: @Juliamon That would be me, if you mean "Is this a metaphor about French painting?"
adept_nekomancer: It's the Mario 64 extended universe.
consolecowboy88: thank u but I was just cracking wise because I usually tune into yer Clair obscure business on youtube rather live
consolecowboy88: this is very tarsem/ the director who did the fall and REM’s losing my religion video
Laserbeaks_Fury: Burying herself in work
e_bloc: I wonder if someone wanted to get intimater with the world for 3 days
e_bloc: until the dlc
StreetRach: They're all processing grief in their own way.
consolecowboy88: I mean the very start of the fame involved accepting death if memory serves
consolecowboy88: game*
Laserbeaks_Fury: Somewhere (I'm not sure where) you can find a cake with a Eiffel Tower candle on it that was lit and melted
RatherLargeToad: avoid double fires
e_bloc: I might be in the minority but sign me up for the happiness painting
Laserbeaks_Fury: And mayb shoes
consolecowboy88: 🎵watch out - you might get what you’re after. ooh baby! strange but nkt a stranger ! there has got to be a way! burnin down the house 🎵
consolecowboy88: sorry
StreetRach: Hacker voice: I'm in
Strebenherz: how far into the game are we? haven't played myself
StreetRach: 2/3
Juliamon: We're past act 2
adept_nekomancer: @Strebenherz They just completed Act 2, and there was a big reveal about the nature of reality.
PharaohBender27: @Strebenherz We're in Epilogue, per Heather and Ian
Strebenherz: gotcha gotcha
e_bloc: Im confused, I thought it was the epilogue
Strebenherz: might pop, but y'all take care
TheTekkieman: @e_bloc Not anymore, it's not.
e_bloc: gotcha
e_bloc: yeah that's good writing
Laserbeaks_Fury: We never get a sense of how much time passes while in the Canvas
consolecowboy88: wot’s wrong with tails?
StreetRach: One of the most stunning shots in the game is coming up, IMO.
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's interesting it's Alicia that goes away
SaxPython: Woah
Bruceski: Epilogue screen gets erased, Act 3 written over it.
RatherLargeToad: Act 3, the fourth act
adept_nekomancer: Epilogue jumpscare!
StreetRach: Well, Alicia was effectively "reborn" as one of her mother's creations.
ThePov42: Wow yeah that *is* a very French way to do it
richard_ermen: This is, in a way, an extension of Verso's painting. He originally created all of this. So in a way, this is an experience Alicia could only have thanks to him. Which is rather terrifiying to be honest.
e_bloc: I've only watched a couple of dozen hours but everything this game does is impressive
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!)
consolecowboy88: @streetrach it’s like life’s lightning crashes
consolecowboy88: live’s lighting crashes I meant *
consolecowboy88: whoa this is like five characters in search of an author now
richard_ermen: Poor Alicia. Still so blinded by the simulacrum of life her brother has left in the painting.
Athelgar: Verso's; "Will he." is so good
Juliamon: RIP Maelle's fun hair
Laserbeaks_Fury: Also, how messed up is it Maelle's entire combat system is based on setting enemies on fire
richard_ermen: "I've not been too long in here."....only 16 years and basically a second life. Its fascinating that she's mentally still basically a teenager and not in her thirties.
StreetRach: One thing that often puzzles me is how old was Alicia when she entered the canvas?
Bruceski: I love Renoir's tone of compassion talking to Verso here.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah I've wondered, does Maelle have memories sequentially or does it all play out simeultaneously
StreetRach: Andy Serkis at his finest.
richard_ermen: I find it fascinating that Renoir is painted as a Villain here, when, in the end, he's correct. Everything he fears comes to pass, if everyone would let be.
Laserbeaks_Fury: You'll notice the color of the petals have themes. Aline's Chroma is White; Renoir's is Red, and Alicia's it golden
PharaohBender27:
OK, need to go more dinner. See you in the VOD! 
SaxPython:
@PharaohBender27 
consolecowboy88: @laserbeaks_fury that reminds me I should watch the 3 colora trilogy
StreetRach: So this is a second playthrough?
richard_ermen: Nope, still the first.
e_bloc: well I believe Ian and Heather played on their own separately
StreetRach: That's what I was asking.
e_bloc: yeah sorry, first playthrough on stream, second for the players, unless I am mistaken
geekydad123: oops, maybe I won't watch this, I'm only at the start of act 2 and don't want spoilers...
Juliamon: oh, yeah, DO NOT watch
Juliamon: the VOD will be here for you later
StreetRach: Am I allowed to ask if they ever faced/beat Simon?
RatherLargeToad: Expedition 33 1/3
adept_nekomancer: There are *so many* spoilers happening right now.
e_bloc: but what about second mcguffin
RatherLargeToad: They pulled a Star Ocean 3
Athelgar: i made the mistake of going back to him in NG+, way too hard for me lol
mendokusai_jamesdean: What is yalls thoughts on the free DLC of the game?
Athelgar: and right to be skeptical of Verso's motivation
ShaneLeeAtk: The Dragon Ball conundrum
Athelgar: "Death isn't death anymore."
StreetRach: That's perhaps the thing I dislike the most about this game, is the romance component of it. I don't think it was necessary.
StreetRach: (And to be clear, I adore the game.)
e_bloc: I mean this is one big mindfuck really right

SaxPython: I'm a little upset that we didn't bring Gustav back
SaxPython:
Athelgar: Gustov also didnt dissipate into chroma either, in a why didnt they just use a Phoenic Down kinda way
Laserbeaks_Fury: I loved this moment, but I think it would have been more impactful if we got to go around and do this instead of it just being a cutscene.
Athelgar: Phoenix**
bv310: Create the greatest expedition in history: 99 Monocos.
Wolfstrike_NL: It would have rounded out the parties nicely with 6 people if gustave did come back
RatherLargeToad: Get in! we’re going grave robbing!
Athelgar: these are also all site where you would have picked up logs too
Bruceski: You're walking through rubble Luna, put some shoes on
Geldaran: @Wolfstrike_NL Agreed, I sort of expected that when she was repainting folks.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Remind me of that moment in Return of the King
Bruceski: The music does not stop
Laserbeaks_Fury: But it does change
SaxPython: FFX Zanarkand energy
SaxPython:

RatherLargeToad: get a -1/-1 counter
BrindleBoar: 10+ stacks of Blight cannot reduce max health below 1
adept_nekomancer: Oh -- didn't you get something that de-limited attacks so you could go above 9999? Or am I mis-remembering?
ghizmou: Maelle is a logical first choice
SaxPython: @adept_nekomancer you get it at the end of epilogue / start of act 3
BraveOthello: The music in this game is so good, dang.
bv310: @BraveOthello I've cribbed so much of it for my D&D soundtracking.
BraveOthello: My DM used "We Lost" for a boss battle ...
BraveOthello: Also Goblu for another which was hilarious
bv310: I was using the Flying Waters theme for an exploration last session and never got sick of it
bv310: Also have Une Vie A T'Aimer packed and ready for if the emotional climax I'm building to pays off
BraveOthello: @bv310 That's just cruel

4 raiders from RavenHillbrookInc have joined!
bv310:

Juliamon: Should be the last stream of it, yeah
Juliamon: Simic Slaw Night
Travilogue: C for "blue" and K for black
Dog_of_Myth:
Juliamon: I would counter: Magic's mana system is not even remotely the standard for card games
RatherLargeToad: It’s only U in magic because the A is black was already used internally for Artifact
Dread_Pirate_Westley: Windows mostly works, which is more than you can say for MacOS
loufghyslaufey: Uh LIVE!?
Juliamon: The photo was shared
SaxPython:
loufghyslaufey: Impossible! After the Riftbound!?

ErynTzun: byeee
TheAinMAP: Thank you for streaming.
loufghyslaufey: Kay
ErynTzun: Buttons, sewing items, tape, glue, batteries. So not junk.
loufghyslaufey: Again?
ghyllnox: Utility drawer?
far2muchsarcasm: random nonsense drawer
Juliamon: "junk" inherently implies non-useful things only
loufghyslaufey: "Utility Tape"
loufghyslaufey: "Portable Drawer-Case"
ErynTzun: Stuff that isn't junk and I frequently need access to. The 5th drawer in the kitchen.
loufghyslaufey: Patent pending! It is my idea... now.
ErynTzun: Scissors, tape measure, box cutters. All that stuff.
loufghyslaufey: That I may or not have "borrowed".... straight out of an Anime's Elven briefcase
