Creideiki_SE: You're on time, it's just that everyone else is usually late, so we're used to it being late.
 Bassios: We're responsible for this!
 beowuuf: @Juliamon and sometimes adam, i think he just gets bored?
 fragilepaper: o/ Alex, o/ Chat
  TXC2: STRONG Day of the tentacle vibe from that menu screen
 beowuuf: sounds interesting premise
 RocknGrohlNerd: @Bassios yes it is my fault..looks at resub button..
  TXC2: hello fragilepaper  welcome
  Juliamon: I've never seen one either
 KBKarma: I once asked my then therapist about that. He didn't have one either.
 ErynTzun: Seems like it would be really nice to have in one
 KBKarma: @fragilepaper Hello!
 SnackPak_: wow rude
 fragilepaper:  
 Nigouki: yeah, media depiction of therapists is so misleading. no giant offices or leather couches in sight 
 BrowneePointz: also if you're a therapist you shouldn't be using ableist slurs
 beowuuf: i feel this might be a terrible psychiatrist
 TehAmelie: i have. they had a whole sitting room for you to pick your favorite therapy position
 Vinewood_OG: So real
 ErynTzun: That that's we do
  Juliamon: I think it's just a useful visual cue in media to show that the therapist is the person in control of the situation (by having the patient literally lower)
  TXC2: this guy's a quack
pawssumplace: Did he find this guy on Craigslist?
 CastleOtranto: Doctor, why do you have a skull in your therapy office?

 TehAmelie: trying to find our activation phrase?

 SnackPak_: huh
 Sethalidos: uh did we just get activated?

  TXC2: "the Shag Pad is a little old place were we can buy rugs! Shag pad baby!"
 beowuuf: @RocknGrohlNerd this is like a PG-13 version of winnie the pooh. Our character is tigger who bounces on... something... and the depressed donkey is now just an on the nose sign
 JKBalch: I guess his jump height is justified because of his 3rd leg

 TehAmelie: that looked so awkward
 ErynTzun: @.@
 RocknGrohlNerd: banger alert?

  TXC2: banging music
 beowuuf: i suspect this ost will be good
 RocknGrohlNerd: yeah
pawssumplace: oh no
 crazycommie87: Oh lord
  TXC2: holy hitboxes batman!
pawssumplace: This does look fun though
 lightfut: This is some mega man ass physics
TheAinMAP: 
 RocknGrohlNerd: calling it, its a mimic
 ErynTzun: Red Tailed Hawk sound lol
 Nigouki: Ian The Grey
 crazycommie87: Why were the wizards shooting Bowser heads?
pawssumplace: Oof
 JKBalch: Cat eat food, yeah yeah yeah
 TehAmelie: we need a gun to get a hat. it's the ladder of needs
 A_Dub888: hi friends, how game?
  TXC2: we're spawned from a vending machine
  TXC2: hello A_Dub888  welcome
 ErynTzun: he naked and game very difficult
 JKBalch: Could we at least buy a something from the vending machine to cover our shame?
UtilityPunk: This game is turning into the Dark Souls of metrooidvanias
UtilityPunk: *mootroidvania
 RocknGrohlNerd: seem like the difficulty went off the charts very quickly
 Strebenherz: Hiya, and THE DIALOGUE
 ErynTzun: We don't want to know
 TreeVor84: nature's holster
  adi_pie: You know, in the gun place.
  TXC2: guns and mental health problems do NOT mix 
 RocknGrohlNerd: sideburns obviously
pawssumplace: CLOTHES!
pawssumplace: PANTS!
 Nigouki: the better question is do we access our secret pocket one bullet at a time or with a speed loader
 kingandcommoner: He keeps it behind the censor bar
  TXC2: also we have a map right from the get go
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/EnjoyableSoftTireMingLee-0b4v-9RnL_cU4aRC
 RocknGrohlNerd: @Nigouki yeah "better" 
  Juliamon: bullet beads
 JKBalch: The gun is good! The Penis is evil! The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the Gun shoots Death and purifies the Earth of the filth of Brutals
Pteraspidomorphi: Can you shoot the depression? That's how you take care of it right?
 TehAmelie: i should watch that sometime

 A_Dub888: zardoz is a movie
 ErynTzun: oh nooo
 kingandcommoner: Zardoz is one of those movies that's so weird that calling it bad starts to feel disingenuous
 BrowneePointz: Yea the steam page says "A procedurally generated Metroidvania!(whatever that means)"
 beowuuf: they need to shuffle the rooms around to block where the fourth wall got broken
 KBKarma: What's happening with Zardoz?
 BrowneePointz: well when Life hands you lemons
  TXC2: KBKarma  nothing, chat made a joke referencing it
 BrowneePointz: wait is that Wizard in a Fundoshi?
UtilityPunk: Hats = health
 TehAmelie: same thing with the bullets on the screen, huh
 Nigouki: we don't go back to birthday suit? boooooooooo
Pteraspidomorphi: The hat protects your head, makes perfect sense
 JKBalch: @UtilityPunk Ahh TF2 rules I see
 KBKarma: The only time I watched Zardoz I was drinking white Russians after we'd watched Japanese horror film House with no subtitles.
pawssumplace: "I cast reddit post" is pretty good shit, I gotta say lol
 Tiber727: The rooms shuffle when you do a full new playthrough.
  TXC2: we're going by 19th century rules, a man without a hat is no man 
 beowuuf: so it's better to have ten gallon hats rather than a ten-gallon hat 
 RocknGrohlNerd: oh right we are live, my dumbass tried to rewind using arrow keys
  Juliamon: It's only fair, if the cannonballs can go through walls, so can our bullets
 TehAmelie: this has a great improvement over Ghouls & Ghosts though, controllable jumps
 kingandcommoner: how many bullets can be on screen at a time?
 Nigouki: imagine if health is just the hat getting bigger and bigger, to the point where it starts obstructing your vision
 A_Dub888: @Juliamon what are bullets if not tiny cannon balls?
 KBKarma: So, what's the story? My queue popped, so I had to mute stream.
 beowuuf: @Nigouki a self correcting problem...
  Juliamon: KBKarma Experimental psychological treatment put us here
  Juliamon: That's all we know
  TXC2: """"""Treatment"""""""
 beowuuf: @KBKarma man goes to psychiatrist, psychiatrist is a quack, does a clockwork orange thing, and sudden;ly we're in a self aware game
 KBKarma: Well, that doesn't seem ideal.
 beowuuf: oh, we're a burned out developer, should have explained that
  Juliamon: also it's not Spelunky
 ErynTzun: (* This game is not recommended for anyone with a peanut allergy)
 KBKarma: "burned out developer" - I feel you repeated yourself there.
ThirdFloorDraft: what a funky track
 Tiber727: Can you jump down the yellow platforms and shoot the cannons early?
 ErynTzun: Contains story*
UtilityPunk: Advice for writers is to write what you know. Game developers code what they know. So burned out dev sounds about right
 beowuuf: oh no
TheAinMAP: 
  TXC2: SNAAAAAAKE! oh it's a snake!
pawssumplace: lol
pawssumplace: I love it
 ErynTzun: They took a mimic and combined it with hootie from the owl house
Pteraspidomorphi: I'd forgotten about hootie
  TXC2: snake has a very camel looking head when it's pointing down
 KBKarma: Look, a Tsuchinoko!
 KBKarma: Nope.
 BrowneePointz: "Malibu Cowboy"
UtilityPunk: Honky tonk cowboy, checks out
 SquareDotCube: Made mostly of polyester
 A_Dub888: “Alternative Lifestyle Cowboy” is the name of my Hangman Page ripoff
  TXC2: "alternative cowboy" "just say gay"
 Gekyouryuu: "Injured Spine Plateau Cowboy"
 ErynTzun: This doesn't seem like the sort of thing that's good for anxiety at all. It is in fact the opposite.
 7gorobei: "take that" maybe
UtilityPunk: I think he whispers "SATANNNNNN"
UtilityPunk: Watch+Play crossover if so
  TXC2: now to be fair, I could see how shooting a gun at the problem could help with anxity
TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/RepleteRacyMartenDAESuppy-9l-bPNR0I_oAnv4P
 KBKarma: Shooting a gun solves a lot of problems. But may also cause more.
 ErynTzun: oh okay, essentials only, slightly less anxiety.
  TXC2: KBKarma  oh indeed, it's all about balance, and picking your targets wisely
 KBKarma: Why is the wizard almost naked?
 ErynTzun: No pause no pause
pawssumplace: I'm not sure that he's actually saying anything
  TXC2: it sure is Alex
 Gekyouryuu: for people who aren't Alex, since he's a bit preoccupied atm, here's something cute and semi-relevant to stream in that it involves cowboys, sort of: https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_t1jmanYhq11vwnst7.mp4
 KBKarma: Oh hey, they respawn. Neat.
  TXC2: Gekyouryuu  weapons grade cute-tonium there
 RocknGrohlNerd: @Gekyouryuu lovely, cat and a hat !!
 ErynTzun: Clap
  Juliamon: bawk
  TXC2: bagawk
 RocknGrohlNerd: i mean there is not much you can do with a lemon
 fragilepaper: mood
 KBKarma: Ah, a *very* meta game.
 ErynTzun: PUBLISHER: Acclaim, Inc.
Pteraspidomorphi: RocknGrohlNerd, you can cook so many things!
  TXC2: because capitalism!
pawssumplace: Sometimes I wish I could just pitch game ideas to game devs. What's that job called?
Pteraspidomorphi: Investor
  TXC2: game dev owner
 ErynTzun: Gato gato
pawssumplace: That all sounds awful
 ErynTzun: At least they're not trying to date you
 beowuuf: those are certainly noises the dev chose to use
 KBKarma: They are!
pawssumplace: ? Date... me?
  TXC2: as we learned from DB, needles are not the same syringes
UtilityPunk: This zone must represent your anxiety about prostate exams
 KBKarma: Spikes on the celling.
 KBKarma: Fear of hospitals?
 ErynTzun: oh so this is not the old Akklaim
 ErynTzun: A group of investors launched a new company using the Acclaim trademark in 2025.

  LRRbot: New quote #9520: "I think I'll shoot all the cannons first, because I don't have a cowboy hat." —Alex [2026-01-26]
 KBKarma: I think the right hand cannons are the most dangerous ones.
 YFiddler: we get to see lots of  streams recently love it
 KBKarma: Aye.
 pawssumplace: Me too
 beowuuf: 
GoryHamJar: This is a very mono-red game
 ErynTzun: It's pretty normal to yell "aaaah bats bats" when you're playing Castlevania on your Gamboy in the back seat of an otherwise silent car.
 RocknGrohlNerd: oh absolutely " the bonus streams were so sweet
 Crad0k: impatience?
GoryHamJar: Patience zero
 ErynTzun: Patience zero: Every Work Day
 pawssumplace: Gamer question
 YFiddler: the death sprites a great. very goofy
 KBKarma: I remember a giant robot game I played a demo of once called Slave Zero. It was kind of fun.
 pawssumplace: Does anyone else fall asleep or wake up, and sometimes in your half asleep state, you find your thumbs moving because you're thinking about playing games?
 KBKarma: I have played Monster Hunter World while micronapping.
 KBKarma: So yes.
  TXC2: pawssumplace  I tend to dream that I'm IN the video game, not just playing it
Seagulyus: huh is that coyote time?
Pteraspidomorphi: If I'm that deep into a game I just don't fall asleep, unfortunately
Pteraspidomorphi: My dreams are more about books
 KBKarma: Turns out you can indeed use muscle memory to fight Bagel.
Jethrain: good ol' coyote time
 ErynTzun: I used to fall asleep holding the W key down when playing City of Heroes. So I would wake up with ppl trying to get my attention in Vent becasue I had W key'd into a wall halfway through a mission.
Isaac3567: Coyote frames, always good to see them
 Crad0k: it's odd watching gnomes come out of alex's ear
niccus: that's the technical term
 BrowneePointz: it's the dkc hang time in air
 pawssumplace: Yeah, I get that too, but I mean I'll be twitching my thumbs LIKE I'm playing the thing I'm thinking about, but I'm just in bed 
 BrowneePointz: in which you can still jump
Isaac3567: Reference to Wile E. Coyote, yup
Jethrain: for platformers giving a bit of grace for jumping after coming off a platform, yeah
 beowuuf: the idea of making the game feel fairer by giving you a brief window to retreat
 lightfut: Just never look down
 KBKarma: I have fallen asleep while doing an FFXIV raid or trial. While I was farming Mogstones.
  QuixoticScrivener: I always heard it as coyote time
 ErynTzun: "Coyote Time" is when game developers give players who walk off the edge of a cliff time before gravity kicks in to prevent rage quitting
 beowuuf: i'm happy that despite roadrunner cartoons being so old, that's still an understood term 
 BrowneePointz: after "wil e coyote" time
 KBKarma: What are the gnomes coming out of?
 ErynTzun: Totally makes sense.
 ErynTzun: Extra frame lies
  TXC2: beowuuf  the comedy of those cartoons are rather universal
GoryHamJar: The only way to make things feel fair is to lie to the player
 SquareDotCube: Donkey Kong Country does something similar with rolling then jumping
 pawssumplace: Loony Tunes and related cartoons are so basic that everyone sees the reruns when they're little, I think. I mean they were old when millenials were young already.
 beowuuf: @TXC2 yup 
 pawssumplace: I used to love Tex Avery hour on CN
 stnrwzrd: the goat tex avery
 ErynTzun: They were old when I was a kid in the 70s, gets a bit old after a while though when they're the only things on.
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 1
 CaptainSpam: They had the art of animation down to a science way back when.
 KBKarma: Didn't Tex Avery also do the sexy lizard cartoon?
 A_Dub888: well I think Alex Steacy is high quality
 CaptainSpam: Tex Avery did quite a lot.
 pawssumplace: Directed by him
Seagulyus: @SquareDotCube yeah, it didnt have a name until more recently though. looks like a speedrunning thing
 pawssumplace: Animation by Paul J Smith
 ErynTzun: Eeeuuggh

  TXC2: Herman the Merman
 KBKarma: @TXC2 Same hat!
 ErynTzun: hahhaha
  TXC2: Herman how do you keep you hair that lustrous inside a bowl of water?
 pawssumplace: What part of this guy's psyche is Herman the Merman?
 ErynTzun: Why not trust Herman the Merman and his cow friend?
 Nigouki: i hope bullets bounce off of it
  TXC2: also what is that wanted poster?
 ErynTzun: Max headroom head
 TehAmelie: Frankenstein joined the CIA?
TheAinMAP: A real blockhead.
 KBKarma: Gnome yes!
 Crad0k: do they turn into platforms when they die?
 ErynTzun: D'oh'mns
 Strebenherz: GNOMES
 Strebenherz: What is this repo
 ErynTzun: Clap
 pawssumplace: That was impressive
 ErynTzun: hat hat hat hat
 Gekyouryuu: I've had a stupid idea: Merman Melville, a fish-man author who writes about a fish-guy who's got an obsession with hunting a specific white dude on the land. story starts with "Call me Fishmael"
 KBKarma: Ah, you reached their kill limit.
 A_Dub888: are those hypodermic spikes?
 Gekyouryuu: the Zapp Brannigan strat
 undecided44: Ohh, they're dwarves... there were 7 of them.
  Juliamon: Was that seven dw--ok someone else got there
UtilityPunk: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/EncouragingDirtyAsparagusDatSheffy-qCUiVCAWQrbIvLas
  TXC2: Gekyouryuu  long, LONG walk off of a short pier for that joke, wonderful 
 A_Dub888: @Gekyouryuu Strat Brannigan
 KBKarma: Don't worry about it.
 Gekyouryuu: decoration?
 CaptainSpam: Seemed like a "shoot one and find out" situation?
Isaac3567: Wonder if you could blow them all up?
 RocknGrohlNerd: @Gekyouryuu dang it, you got me 
n3ther: that's a disturbing amount of lil guys
 Strebenherz: the gnome noises are peak
 KBKarma: Why is that enemy a dude being dragged around by his belt upside down while dropping fish? Is there a pun I'm missing?
 ErynTzun: nice!
 RocknGrohlNerd: 1st try
  TXC2: KBKarma  I think trying to understand this game is a fools errand 
  Juliamon: boooooo
 KBKarma: Surreality?
 pawssumplace: Why canons? Why wizards?
 pawssumplace: Why the mermaid?
  Juliamon: because weird psyche world
 RocknGrohlNerd: why indeed
 ErynTzun: Why upsidown while throwing fish?
  TXC2: why the blue hair, why all the pearls, why anything Marge?
 pawssumplace: I'm just saying the guy with the fish is where you started asking questions? lol
 KBKarma: Deep seated psychological stuff, yeah.
 KBKarma: Yeah. The wizards are doctors or whatever. The cannons are a sex thing. The gnomes are probably a sex thing.
  TXC2: "I proscribe you do cocaine about it"
  Juliamon: Oh my, already an hour
  TXC2: !break
  LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to.  Don't forget to wash your hands!
 ErynTzun:   
 Strebenherz: @KBKarma the gnomes represent one's urges to run around screaming incoherently
  TXC2: Right chat I'm off
  TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Alex
 RocknGrohlNerd: game seems fun, I hope Alex is having fun with it
 beowuuf: o7
 RocknGrohlNerd: good night TXC2

 Tiber727: It's very much "die to BS you couldn't have seen coming," learning how to get past it, then learning to get past the cheap death placed deliberately after it.
Jethrain: IWBTG does some funny things with game design tropes, but it's also miserable to play
 TheMerricat: IIRC though, Adam disabled the goal for Boshy after his second playthrough because while he does have a high resistance for tilt, he's still human. And I believe he said he'd never wants to play the game ever again.
 KBKarma: No, it is not.
 BrowneePointz: It was designed for Gary to punish his players
 KBKarma: I have *also* played Tomb of Horros.
 BrowneePointz: cuz Gary got pissed at his playgroup
 CaptainSpam: I always treated IWBTG as more of a meta-joke than a legit challenge.
 BrowneePointz: and Tomb of Annihilation is what if Tomb of Horrors but good
 KBKarma: Gnomes!
 KBKarma: The gnomes! Again!
 IanAllenBird: that hat is such a trap
 pawssumplace: Good or "good"?
 pawssumplace: Like is it more punishing or less?
  SmithKurosaki: The music is very LaMulana-esque as well 
 KBKarma: But yeah, the kaizo game about trees: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4171850/Trees_Hate_You/
3and4fifths: Matt has La-mulana experience

 Greendrag13: Ballsy? Was it... Dragon Ballsy?

 LordZarano: 'From Kaizo Mario World, the name of an early set of fan-created levels in this style first released in 2007, where kaizo is from Japanese 改造 (kaizō, “revamp, remodel, modify”).'
ScrapyardGhostTrain: I feel we really ought to be past the 'contact with enemy model = damage' of game design by this point. Enemies have attacks, only the attacks should cause damage.
niccus: i think that would only ascend you to the level of hitbox complaints, different part same samsara
 KBKarma: Right, back shortloy.

ScrapyardGhostTrain: niccus For melee enemies, sure, but if they're firing a projectile, the projectile does damage, not the enemy. Same thing with the side-spikes; they should just be a wall from the side, not damage.
TheMyrdin: This game is tough
 ErynTzun: Seems like a Nintendo Thumb developing kind of game

 ratbabyonline: oh fun
TheAinMAP: Coin!
Seagulyus: the two stacked on top of one another, the top pair
Seagulyus: oh there you go
 ratbabyonline: well i'll be a horses uh,,, mech bottom
Tehbeard: Mecha-honse?
 A_Dub888: so there’s this horse…

 ErynTzun: uhhh so a swimmer inside a mecha horse what's this supposed to mean?
TheMyrdin: Getting big Game Boy Color energy from this
ANeMzero: what a terrible night for a horse
Seagulyus: the tail's hit box is huge
TheMyrdin: I don't understand how you're supposed to avoid the Kamehameha blasts
 Singenmeister: Unleash your inner Butters
Jethrain: oh for goodness sake the ceiling is horse chestnuts of course
 ratbabyonline: well that is the weakpoint of most animals
  Juliamon: I wonder if you need to upgrade your bullets?
Seagulyus: @TheMyrdin you jump up when it starts aiming so that you get the extra space, or at the end
TheMyrdin: @Seagulyus Oh right. I hope that works. It seems to have no end
 KBKarma: Well, I sure turned up at a time.
 adept_nekomancer: Does it clip you... or clop you?
 BrowneePointz: tail might not have hurtbox
 A_Dub888: @adept_nekomancer could be neighther
 ErynTzun: I would avoid the use of the term clop
TheMyrdin: that was BS!
Bruceski: Not bullshit, horse-pucky
TheMyrdin: @Bruceski  
 KBKarma: Why is this person attacking with the weird horse thing?
AutonomousTurtle: tail, I think
 KBKarma: The tail, yeah.
TheMyrdin: SO it's not the tail?
TheMyrdin: that was tail action
 BrowneePointz: okay tail DEFINITELY has a hurtbox
 CaptainSpam: I think the tail just has a big ol' hitbox.
 CaptainSpam: Hurtbox, yeah.
Jethrain: i guess it's like a tail flick when it's moving, but not when it's standing still
TheMyrdin: Okay so standing in front of the enemy scrotum while it punches the wall is illegal
 KBKarma: I think the tail flick thing is to force you to keep moving.
  Simriel: I just tuned in... what the fuck is going on
MaxxamusTime: 64
TheMyrdin: @Simriel You know as much as us 
 pawssumplace: Lest we forget Benbo
 iris_of_ether: Horse Club is back and it is PISSED
 KBKarma: @Simriel Alex is fighting a horse mech inside the character's mind or something.
 DrLigmaPhD: "Weirdest" depends on what's behind the target
TheMyrdin: Remember Hollowknight has the dung beetle acrobat guy that tosses poo balls at you
WriterRaven: And then I wanna test them for drugs!
 ratbabyonline: premarin mentioned
BrindleBoar: horse!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm sorry, the hell did I just come into watch?
 DigitalSeahorse: HONSE! 
 KBKarma: Alex is fighting a giant horse mech inside the character's own mind.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok, what kind of game is it?
 lightfut: Giant honse mech
 DigitalSeahorse:  
 KBKarma: @Thefluffiestguineapig Platformer.
 adept_nekomancer: @Thefluffiestguineapig Kaizo Mario
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Also why is a lady in a swim cap jumping into the imaginary horse mech?
 DigitalSeahorse:  neigh
 KBKarma: @Thefluffiestguineapig Can't help you there, I only turned up again after it had started happening.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Do we only have two HP? One from the hat and one with our body
Jethrain: it makes a lot more sense if you take the premise of "it's all set inside a dream" and let it ride from there
TheMyrdin: yep
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Jethrain Nope, doesn't help
 DigitalSeahorse: and spikey chestnuts at the top, when do those drop
TheMyrdin: Why is there random blood splatter on the wall?
UtilityPunk: KAMEHAMEHORSE
starlitdiscord: the door guys expanding is very funny to me
 DigitalSeahorse: it's good they censored the horse cock with the target
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Isn't something called "horse apples" and- you know I'm not going to try because that could be construed as making sense. I was going to say the spikey things might be horse apples
 DigitalSeahorse: xD
 Thefluffiestguineapig: If it's called a mare it is a female
TheMyrdin: Uma-hame-ha
Jethrain: the spikey things are horse chestnuts
 ratbabyonline: @Thefluffiestguineapig no those are horse chestnuts, an inedible type of chesnut common in north america
TheMyrdin: ^
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Us respawning by literally being dispensed from the machine at the ramen stand is so weird
 DigitalSeahorse: the old grey mare she ain't what she used to be
 ratbabyonline: we had them at my elementary school, they would always become weapons
UtilityPunk: Conkers in the UK
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @ratbabyonline Ah, I'm just not used to seeing them even though I'm in NA
 DrLigmaPhD: The whip crack reminds me of Smokin' Joe, Rude Boy
 iris_of_ether: Smokin' Joe is honestly my favorite song of his
 DigitalSeahorse: horse conch, horse conch
UtilityPunk: Get in the horse mech shinji
 pctjoe: this fight is a night-mare
 DigitalSeahorse: *sings horse cock song replacing cock with conch*
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Heather's been playing a Hades-like on her home stream where the final boss's name is also a pun (Mare, Knight of the Black Die)
 DigitalSeahorse: F
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Why have I been seeing so many nightmare puns lately?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Or more health?
 DigitalSeahorse: the mare of the night!
 DigitalSeahorse: the knight's mare!

 DigitalSeahorse: guess what chat
 DigitalSeahorse: I made muffins!

 DigitalSeahorse: oatmeal with poppyseeds and currents
 DigitalSeahorse: I was gonna add banana but I forgot that part
 pawssumplace: Mm, currant
 calculated_uncertainties: @DigitalSeahorse Sounds interesting.
 DigitalSeahorse: *shares with chat*
TheMyrdin: @DigitalSeahorse yippee 
 pawssumplace: I made a red velvet cake the other day and it was/ is super disappointing.
 pawssumplace: Absolutely bone fuckin dry
 DigitalSeahorse: can't do the mario pole?
 pawssumplace: I mean there's a space ship with gas...
 DigitalSeahorse: no pole dancing!
 pawssumplace: I think maybe you go to space
TheMyrdin: THere is a hand grip there, but you don't have that ability yet
 pawssumplace: I bet there's a double jump
TheMyrdin: So this is a metroidvania?
  Juliamon: either a double jump or wall jump
 DigitalSeahorse: "You're toast!"
 DigitalSeahorse: "YOUR toast!"
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I went to go get more tea, did we have less DPS than we were supposed to?
Jethrain: we did not
 Sethalidos: tESLAGRAD?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Also I look forward to more health being some ridiculous belt buckle or some nonsense
 Crad0k: iconoclasts?
 KBKarma: Me neither.
TheMyrdin: @Thefluffiestguineapig Maybe every health upgrade is a bigger and bigger cowboy hat 
 sephyhallow: What a perfect time to tune in
 A_Dub888: “Trample me Daddy” - Alex 2026
 sephyhallow: Right as you say "trample me daddy"
 pawssumplace: 
 SquareDotCube: I have, the last third of the story definitely hits harder these days
Jethrain: I should replay iconoclasts
TheMyrdin: The boss has SO MUCH HP
 Crad0k: @SquareDotCube yeah, not my favourite gameplay, but that story, oof
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMyrdin That would also be hilarious
TheMyrdin: What are those clicky spinners that cowboys have on the heel of their boots?
 Crad0k: spurs
Jethrain: that beam attack seems like ever so slightly too much to be fair
TheMyrdin: Spurs! Maybe you can get spurs that let you "slide"
 Vinewood_OG: We pray you don't alter it further.
 DigitalSeahorse: crack that whip
 DigitalSeahorse: whip it good
 DigitalSeahorse:  
 Crad0k: 'i had a plan, it was a good plan, but i got bored'
TheMyrdin: Yeah there is no rest animation between the boss' attack pattern. No getting-winded, slowing-down or taking-a-breath animations that prepares you for  what comes next
TheMyrdin: So you just end up taking more damage
TheMyrdin: @Jethrain Just like 3-4 too many orbs in the beam attack
 pawssumplace: Test
 pawssumplace: Weird.

TheMyrdin: But also the beam starts so abruptly
 pawssumplace: It's very solidly been tantrum, pace, beam
 pawssumplace: well here we are proving me wrong immediately
TheMyrdin: @pawssumplace I think it's a 50/50 roll
 noSmokeFire: I don't think we've seen it tantrum or beam more than twice in a row, but it's been random if it does once cycle or two
 Crad0k: that tends to be the way of it 'i've worked out the pattern whoops no i haven't ouch'
WriterRaven: Looks like the stutterstep helps with the beam.
TheMyrdin: wtf do you do now?
  Juliamon: A second phase!
Jethrain: gz on the phase 1
 DigitalSeahorse: don't panic
TheMyrdin: 30HP is so much
 adept_nekomancer: 30 horse points
TheMyrdin: 
 KeytarCat: is it one projectile on screen or is there ammo, or?
 pawssumplace: XD
 DigitalSeahorse: that sure is an ASS
Jethrain: @KeytarCat Currently one projectile on screen, apparently upgradable to more later
 DigitalSeahorse: I barely moved and my chair shifted suddenly and made me drop my keyboard
 KeytarCat: this seems like it would be much easier even at two, so that makes sense
 pawssumplace: Imagine if the prize for this is just like. A cosmetic upgrade.
TheMyrdin: @DigitalSeahorse how rude of it
 DigitalSeahorse: my kingdom for an ideal work station
 KeytarCat: it might explicitly drop the edges at the end, I'll keep an eye on it
Jethrain: it hasn't been consistent at all
 KeytarCat: ohno
 Thefluffiestguineapig: What hasn't been consistent?
Jethrain: the pattern for the things dropping
 s0lesurviv0r: just joined and I'm getting "I Wanna Be The Guy" vibes from this game
 KeytarCat: I did just show up, so offering help was bold of me 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh shit, that's not good. I just went to do a Scylla boss right
 adept_nekomancer: @Jethrain That does mean that you can fire a lot more rapidly from close range though.
Jethrain: it does yeah
 pawssumplace: This has been ongoing for a while
 UnknownFriday: The whole "One hit then death" thing really reminds me of Ghouls & Goblins
 KeytarCat: you don't have to get out, you just need to jump the tail
 DigitalSeahorse: practice makes muscle memory
 Thefluffiestguineapig: How do you get upgrades here?
TheMyrdin: This REALLY reminds me of old GameBoyColor metroidvanias.

 pawssumplace: Benbo was funnier by far
 KeytarCat: now that was just bad luck

TheMyrdin: @omnirallis999 omg. Congrats on being cancer free!!
 KBKarma: Grats!
 KeytarCat: YOO, congrats!
 DigitalSeahorse: I hate it when I'm doing these and I'm facing the wrong way when I go to shoot
 Tiber727: You could also do the opposite and get close when he does the death beam.
 AziraphalesShop: Congrats ❤️
 jadielady: @omnirallis999 that's awesome!!
 DigitalSeahorse: security guys look like Max Headroom
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Congrats!!  
omnirallis999: Thx it's been a long 7 months but it's finally done and removed

 DigitalSeahorse: hmmm yeah
 DigitalSeahorse: pro strats
 DigitalSeahorse:  
 pawssumplace: HMMM
 KBKarma: Yeah, I think it'll give you an opening.
 Crad0k: yeah, probably have to survive the transition
 DigitalSeahorse: in the eyes?
Jethrain: can you shoot at its chest while it's flying around?
 adept_nekomancer: I feel like you should be able to shoot the butt for at least half damage.
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 DigitalSeahorse: woops
 CaptainSpam: I mean, this definitely feels like an IWBTG-style boss, where it WANTS you to believe you should be able to hit it more, but no, it's just a long slog.
 pawssumplace: invisible sprite
 DigitalSeahorse: gotta have horse endurance
 DigitalSeahorse: maybe the bottom comes back?
  Juliamon: You're getting good at getting to stage 2
 Crad0k: at least the chains don't hurt
UraharaSci: can you shoot the top bit by jumping or aiming up?
 DigitalSeahorse: oh
 KBKarma: Oh, that is *horseshit*
 DigitalSeahorse: is that a pillar platform?
 DigitalSeahorse: on the left
 CaptainSpam: Yeah, this is DEFINITELY an IWBTG-style boss now.
 lightfut: That's footsies
 adept_nekomancer: IWBTH - I wanna be the horse
Jethrain: not having to deal with the feet any more is a big plus
 KBKarma: You've got a friend in horse
 CaptainSpam: Better get ready, this is undoubtedly the easiest boss in the game.

 A_Dub888: 
 DigitalSeahorse: 
 KBKarma: Oh, that impassable area!
TheMyrdin: Oh no
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Especially a floaty ass double jump like this
 DigitalSeahorse: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 KBKarma: Veni Vidi Vici!
 ErynTzun: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
TheMyrdin: With the amount of air time you get, double jump is a BIG upgrade
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I fully expected spikes at the bottom
  Juliamon: uh oh
TheMyrdin: oh dear
 Thefluffiestguineapig: WOOW
starlitdiscord: uhh
 ErynTzun: Well now you can get on the Depressed flight to uhh

omnirallis999: Platform rhythm game!?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Send this to Heather and Ian 
 DigitalSeahorse: same here
niccus: do the musicians kill you on contact
TeoKuda: damn a good song
 DigitalSeahorse: except that part
 lightfut: I just love that there's the sprites in the corner singing the whole time
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Also sometimes honestly this feels like how climbing out of a depressive episode is
 Vinewood_OG: Cinema
Jethrain: that was delightful
 DigitalSeahorse: feeesh
 KeytarCat: That was beautiful
 Gekyouryuu: 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Art
TheMyrdin: The shape of water?
 DigitalSeahorse: a mermaid
 KBKarma: It's Merman the Herman!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Can you get your hat back?
 pawssumplace: I can NOT do anything like jumping when climbing out of a depressive hole
 adept_nekomancer: This game sure is doing its own thing.
 DigitalSeahorse: or merdude
 pawssumplace: It's more like climbing up a mud slope
TheMyrdin: This entire game is mad
 Thefluffiestguineapig: I do adore that is absolutely a merman with Ariel's tail
  Juliamon: DigitalSeahorse merman. His name is Herman.
DAC169: was that car quacking?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Up=Yes was scrawled on the wall
TheMyrdin: HELL YEAH!
 CaptainSpam: MORE BULLET
 ErynTzun: yeah double bullet
 adept_nekomancer: The sex cauldron?  I thought they shut that place down.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: MORE BULLAT
TheMyrdin: You got an AK 2 now
 lightfut: Bullat for clipozine!
 BrowneePointz: Honestly, first glance I was like ah man this is gonna be super cynical edgy haha stuff, but nah, writers got jokes
 KBKarma: Shmup!
 ErynTzun: Spaceship!!
 pawssumplace: called it
TheMyrdin: NO WAY 
  Juliamon: yeah, this is ultimately a lot more clever than it looked at first
 Mazrae: R-type now
niccus: [moon theme]
 A_Dub888: is this Dave the Diver?
 BrowneePointz: Alex killing all the Mondo Geckos before the TMNT set even releases
 KBKarma: It's very charming for being a kaizo game.
 DigitalSeahorse:   
TheMyrdin: @A_Dub888 Dave the Diver isn't this cool
 KBKarma: Is it a kaizo game?
 BrowneePointz: it's not really Kaizo
 KeytarCat: the parallax is wonderful
Jethrain: oh the peeling wallpaper on the skybox too
 BrowneePointz: Kaizo games throw actual invisible bullshit at you to cheap kill you
 BrowneePointz: and you have to memorize traps like that
 DigitalSeahorse: this reminds me of the fishing part of Tower Toppler
 BrowneePointz: this is just a good, decently hard platformer
omnirallis999:           
itsaysTRUENO: "If only you could talk to these creatures" -EGM review of Doom and my feelings about the lizards on skateboards

starlitdiscord: uhh
 ErynTzun: Uhhhhhhhh
 KBKarma: Sexy mushroom lady?
 A_Dub888: 
 pawssumplace: Whoa
 Strebenherz: what
 Dog_of_Myth: 
TheMyrdin: EXCUSE ME MADAM? 
 adept_nekomancer: It's really quirky, but in an entertaining way.
 BrowneePointz: Venus di Mushroom
 KeytarCat: yes maam
 DigitalSeahorse: sexy mushroom mushroom!
UtilityPunk: Fun gal
 pawssumplace: I would like to try a mushroom once they're legal
  Juliamon: oh we DO get a slide
TheMyrdin: NICE
 lightfut: So many mechanics now
 BrowneePointz: one of my buds in my college Music Theory class did shrooms once and stared out his window watching Trees throw fireballs at each other for several hours
 KBKarma: No iframes.
 DigitalSeahorse: be sure to wait until you're over 21 cause developing brains don't handle that stuff as well
 KeytarCat: I already love this game
 KBKarma: Yeah, there was,
 KBKarma: Oh, a slide? dunno.
TheMyrdin: More HAT?!
 BrowneePointz: Do we get coyote time if we slide off a ledge to do a far double jump Alex?
 KBKarma: I think it was while fighting the horse boss.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Gib big hat
 KBKarma: This is a very generous demo.
 KeytarCat: Double king!
 KBKarma: Is it a demo, or a full game?
  Juliamon: It comes out in a couple weeks
  Juliamon: so this might be an advanced full copy
TheMyrdin: New record
 BrowneePointz: Everyone's always talking about Ramen but not Ra-women
 BrowneePointz: smhmh
 pawssumplace: no
 BrowneePointz: nope I think you damage boosted into that record on accident
 DigitalSeahorse: "go left"
TheMyrdin: you can also go up after the horse room
 DigitalSeahorse: what are the white dots on the map?
TheMyrdin: We don't have the strength ring to push boxes  yet
 DigitalSeahorse: maybe wall jump becomes a thing at some point
