 James_the_Dabbler: I hardly know her
 richard_ermen: Shockingly well-timed. My Magic game night just ended.
 Bassios: Good timezone, friends! I've just got back from buying provisions at the store 
  TXC2: hello richard_ermen  and Bassios  welcome
Creideiki_SE: Since "pioner" is Swedish for "peonies", I'm assuming this will be a florist simulator.
DideRobot: LRR: Today on Send Codes James is checking out Pioner. Some sort of FPS MMO. So many letters! | https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun | https://kind.social/@LoadingReadyRun/116042696542146793
 tdapenguin: @Creideiki_SE i keep misreading it as 'pioneer', so maybe it's about peonies going on adventures?
  TXC2: isn't the Swedish for Pioneer?
Creideiki_SE: Sounds lovely!
 TheMerricat: Chat, I want to believe this game was meant to be named Pioneer but they misspelt it in the first marketing materials and then refused to admit it. 
Creideiki_SE: No, "pioneer" in Swedish would be "pionjär".
 SquareDotCube: Unfortunately I think the only flowers involved is the daisies we'll be pushing up
 tdapenguin: @TheMerricat i also like that version
  Juliamon: ehh that feels like a really anglo-centric take
  TXC2: Creideiki_SE  huh, ok then
 TheAinMAP:   
  TXC2: my money is on "pioner" is copyrightable
  TXC2: also Here we GO!
 TheAinMAP: Hello 
  TXC2: Hello James
 tdapenguin: hi james!!!

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, kristian_fischer! (Today's storm count: 4)
 TheMerricat: So the blurb on wikipedia sets the game in Soviet Russia, it sounds like it's a Stalker-alike so...
 Mangledpixel: 2.2 is standard gamma correction
  TXC2: what a useful factiod 
 lightfut: Never gonna escape mine o clock
 tdapenguin: @Creideiki_SE ah, sadly, seems like flowers are rigfht out
 SnackPak_: I'd like to subscribe to James Facts
 richard_ermen: Is...this a Tarkov-like?
  TXC2: no US-west ?
Creideiki_SE: @tdapenguin It might still be a fake-out.
 richard_ermen: "The mythical realm of DALL-AS"
  Juliamon: BEAR
 Bruceski: BLUE energy? Oh that's bad. If it was yellow we'd be fine.
 tdapenguin: @Creideiki_SE hmmmmmm, nope, too unlikely for me
 richard_ermen: But...isn't the sky normally blue??
Invitare: I don't believe it
psychopathicjaz: Chernobyl?
 lamina5432: gov acting swifty is a good fantasy
 TheMerricat: So this voice is very not soviet.
Critterbot: Hmm, Stalker vibes.
 richard_ermen: It really is Online-Stalker with more fantasy.
kaziel0: Looking at the announcement, I was confused as to why James would be playing Pioneer (the MtG format) on a Monday. A new game on Send Codes makes much more sense.
 protojman: execute order 66
  TXC2: Stalker, rightly, casts a long shadow
 Bruceski: Yet another game that puts borderless white subtitles against a near-white background
  TXC2: wake up little Sussie
 richard_ermen: I thought it was "Wake up,,,,wake up and....smell the aaaaashes."
  Juliamon: Character creation?
Laserbeaks_Fury: "Hey you. You're finally awake..."
 TheMerricat: So assuming this pasts first muster, I demand that you all get Alex to look at this as the Stalker Professional. 
 richard_ermen: Clearly character creation inspired by Cyberpunk 2077.
psychopathicjaz: its your future you, James
 Commodore_Perry_GG: Mah Lay
Laserbeaks_Fury: the two genders: Mage and Soldier
  TXC2: ah yes the femme mage vs the masculine gunner
 TheMerricat: These faces are very "you can have any brew as long as it's Corona" flavored.
  TXC2: you can be any kind of person......from the east euro stepp 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Blowout soon, WITCHER
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 1
 TheMerricat: I'm worried about the lips having a height slider. 
  TXC2: 80's staches seems to be in again for some reason
 richard_ermen: "DAD-solutely not"?
hackingducks: why do these options look like bad disguises!?
 MrSarkhan: Heck yeah
Laserbeaks_Fury: Muttonchops are back on the menu
Laserbeaks_Fury: I'm the opposite, I went grey in the beard and not the hair
  TXC2: grey hair, normal beard = 20 year old trying to look older
Xed_Regulus: Same with my head and beard
koelkastmagneet: Beard has more colour for me than hair, but hair is also getting a lot  thinner for me
return_of_floki4242: Biker twink
 MrSarkhan: wait that last option was just chandra
DarthRagnar815: Was that just Chandra on the bottom?
hackingducks: I'd probably say the same if I had anything left by way of head hair, but, nope. just a graying beard.
  TXC2: most of my beard is brown except for two bit between my mouth and chin which have always been white 
 TheMerricat: Book Night
 SquareDotCube: Tiddlywinks
  TXC2: Turndown?
 GhostValv: Normalbee
 Commodore_Perry_GG: Ounce Contrast
n_mandrag: Turnip fo Hwhat

 red_shoes_jeff: Pajamas Turner
 Strebenherz: Turnip head
  TXC2: ok we kinda look like a women with a fake moustache in this menu now 
 TehAmelie: is it time to rip and tear?
 rosesmcgee: Toe thumbs confirmed
 TheMerricat: You know what they say about huge hands....
Laserbeaks_Fury: Hey, Dame Judi Dench can play anyone
 Commodore_Perry_GG: Father Grigori?
  TXC2: thought that was gonna set up a tutorial
 red_shoes_jeff: His hands are WAY wrinklier than his head.
Critterbot: Bald with beard and galsses... yupp it's Ian! 
  TXC2: this is a WIDE Ian
 red_shoes_jeff: The Shuckwave? Oh no, the corn!
D_N_Z: 
 TehAmelie: Wiian
 TheMerricat: Edgar does have an Ianish smile. 
Laserbeaks_Fury: you know, I've been under anesthesia for surgery. You don't remember "nothing", you just literally time skip to when you wake up
  TXC2: hello D_N_Z  welcome
  TXC2: Laserbeaks_Fury  like a dreamless sleep
  TXC2: Skill, James
hackingducks: edgar is magic
  Juliamon: a beautiful dreamless sleep
 koelkastmagneet: @Laserbeaks_Fury There is also the sleeping optooin, which I had not long ago. Not full anastesia, but dreaming till they stop the drugs
 TheMerricat: Jump of the cliff, see if the devs anticipated it. 
D_N_Z: @TXC2 thx
 TheMerricat: still a bit high for me, but it's an FPS you need high
 TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/GracefulAstuteRadicchioRickroll-qFbd77IrqI7eQqef
Wolfstrike_NL: James, this is not helping your time in the speedrun 
  TXC2: yes I suspect this game is not great for people with motion sickness
the_walking subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 96 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, the_walking! (Today's storm count: 6)
Laserbeaks_Fury: I've been on nitrous for root canals, that's a weird sensation. You're still conscious, but it all hazy and every once in awhile some pain burns through
 red_shoes_jeff: !y
  LRRbot: HONK!
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: A tetanus blade seems like quite the liability for the wielder
 Bassios: All this "we" is giving me real Pluribus vibes
  TXC2: Laserbeaks_Fury  I've had a root canal with no painkiller, that was a wild experience 
 TheMerricat: I saw it.
 koelkastmagneet: @TXC2 Ouch
 TehAmelie: the pants were the only thing holding him upright 
 NoOne_OfConsequence: Wow, even took the underpants.
Laserbeaks_Fury: He died of dysentery
 TheMerricat: @Laserbeaks_Fury given how dysentery kills you, that's even worse. 
  TXC2: this "lip synch" right here is why the Souls games had no lip movement 
 TheMerricat: 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Ibet the DUke is in there
 koelkastmagneet: very high morrowind scenery vibe
 TheMerricat: So to set expectations chat, this is in Early Access on Steam for ~$25 USD.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Ahh chess. Definitely a Russian game
 TheAinMAP: Many big spiders right away.
 TehAmelie: maybe we can make an exploding tetanus knife
Laserbeaks_Fury: Someday, someone is going to loot my apartment and find my stash of plastic bags
  TXC2: TehAmelie  great metal band name
 TehAmelie: admittedly i was just thinking of user safety
ThePinnacleNumberFour: i could not find scedual fast anyone know when next Netrunner is ??
  TXC2: !events
  LRRbot: Want to know what's coming up? Check out https://loadingreadyrun.com/live for an interactive schedule, or http://lrr.cc/schedule for a Google Calendar version.
 rosesmcgee: Kill me. Thwack. Harder!
 Mangledpixel: the awaitening
  TXC2: ThePinnacleNumberFour  the 17th it seems
  Juliamon: ThePinnacleNumberFour It's off this week because of quarantining, but next week it returns
ThePinnacleNumberFour: @TXC2 TY will see you all the 17 then 
 SquareDotCube: So I'm thinking this is more a STALKER-like than Tarkov-like
 TehAmelie: his evil eye is glass? seems manageable
 Bassios: Mmmm... snackrifice
 TehAmelie: like, he has to remove it sometime
Critterbot: Yeah, seems very Not Stalker so far.
 TehAmelie: is there a font size setting?
Creideiki_SE: That was a missed opportunity for a comical *bonk* noise when you went under the tree.
 TehAmelie: i guess it's manageable
  Juliamon: this guy is Dramatic with a capital D
 rosesmcgee: Is this Dune? Have they consumed the spice melange?
  TXC2: the lip sync is...better? here
 TehAmelie: he's doing The Crow's blue epriod
  TXC2: there's a movie I need to see again
  Juliamon: sir, can you not... shove your weapon through our skull
 TheAinMAP: 
 red_shoes_jeff:   
 TehAmelie: if i ever hand someone a weapon, i hope i'll remember to hold it up aside their head
 malsareus: I just got here, why are we taking guns from strange men?
  TXC2: very Crysis-esque gun mod interface
  Juliamon: because we don't have much of a choice
 TehAmelie: it's got more mods than Doom's double barrel, so, must be cooler
  TXC2: your whole...MMO 
Creideiki_SE: The tacticool mods seem slightly incongruous with the magitech aesthetic of the gun.
 TheMerricat: @malsareus We are playing legally distinct from Stalker Stalker, the island we are on was scienced and full of fun.
 TehAmelie: someone threw away a perfectly good unit of leather?
 TheAinMAP: Is that a good med kit?  It didn't seem to help that guy.
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: The same people who hang bags of dog crap from trees
KeytarCat: Those shells are enormous
  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!)
  TXC2: ok the hammer goes up on the gun model to show that chamber is empty, so game gets a  point
 JKBalch: "old man"
Laserbeaks_Fury: David the Gnome
Xtr34MOo: happy 420 bro 
BlackZoNt: сразу видно сыкунок    
Critterbot: Those are some big ass shells, what are they, 4 gauge? 
 TheMerricat: Do we have an ammo counter somewhere or are we infinite?
 Piratical_tendancies: ooh only reloads the empty chamber
  Juliamon: probably behind James
 malsareus: also we KNOW there are huge spiders
 lightfut: Take in the sights and sounds "distant screaming"

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Stoffern! (Today's storm count: 7)
 TehAmelie: just remembered, "pioner" is the name of a flower in Swedish. a pretty, hard to cultivate one, i think
KeytarCat: it gave you a geyser, maybe that;s the elevator?
nightshadeqx subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 48 months, currently on a 48 month streak!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, nightshadeqx! (Today's storm count: 8)
 TehAmelie: has anything good ever happened from investigating the glow?
 malsareus: right, time to touch the dimensional rift James
  TXC2: TehAmelie  we learned not to look directly at or touch the glow?
 TehAmelie: easy on the Monster filter, demons
 red_shoes_jeff: 
 malsareus: finally? dude we just met
  TXC2: doggos!
 TheAinMAP: 
 JKBalch: knife time
  Juliamon: Do you still have your shiiv?
 TheMerricat: you still have your knife?
 TehAmelie: how ironic, to kill dogs with lockjaw
 TheMerricat: that's gun ammo you can shoot agina. 
Creideiki_SE: Games have a surprisingly hard time not playing exposition while the player is in a fight.
 malsareus: thanks for the warning
Laserbeaks_Fury: Thanks, Dr. Strange
  TXC2: dear game devs, the only dogs you can have a player kill are German Shepherds or Rottweilers, Staffies are a big no no
 TheAinMAP: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/AliveMistyGarbageThunBeast-50mdGcJKElRjflNO
 TheAinMAP: 
 TehAmelie: i want a phone number with one digit so i can write my number like that
 SquareDotCube: That wasn't the button

goombalax: maybe it jumped off the cliff
 TehAmelie: we're servin a big plate of doody
  TXC2: 000-00002.....damn you Bell
 InconsiderateHat: Why was that dialogue separated between non-interactive and clickable? Was it implying that one of those voices wasn't you?
 InconsiderateHat: *dialogue =monologue
KeytarCat: A singular shammo from each doggus
 koelkastmagneet: recycling
goombalax: totally a good guy
goombalax: nothing menacing about his design or voice at all
hyalopterous: Shortcut goes through Ravenholme
 TehAmelie: i missed some part, are we amnesiac or actually a nameless soul?
 CaptainSpam: The voice acting in this game is something else.
 TehAmelie: arguably a real human, sure
 red_shoes_jeff: Why's everyone got such wrinkly hands?
 TheMerricat: @TehAmelie We remember everything, they just are rude assholes who ignore the fact that we have a name. 
KeytarCat: Gramps' beard doesn't move when he talks
 TehAmelie: aha
  TXC2: ah, blowouts
 LordZarano: Rush? Great band!
 TehAmelie: is your poo is blue, run away
 malsareus: ah I see, a moshpit
goombalax: they could have hired Adam to do this guy
  TXC2: blue poo = goblins near
 TehAmelie: no one's getting those antlers
 rosesmcgee: Uh, range safety courses all around.
 malsareus: how heavy are we that we can crush human skulls?
 malsareus: it's gonna be a trap
 TehAmelie: Esteban, we need your legendary strength
 TehAmelie: :x
  Juliamon: Don't push yourself
 SquareDotCube: Cap it to 60 and see if that helps
KeytarCat: I've been like that for a few days
BloodnBullets: Poor thing?  aaaall we want to do is eat your brains! 
 malsareus: are you coming down with the same thing Adam's got?
  TXC2: like I've said, game does seem bad for motion sickness
 Bassios: Might be the weird FOV
 JKBalch: Is that the same VA?
  TXC2: could be worse, you could be me, getting dizzy from turning in bed this morning 
 TehAmelie: they could smell the player character on us
goombalax: oh good we're getting paid in exposure
 Bassios: Look after yourself!
 JKBalch: Better safe and healthy
KeytarCat: Be safe and stay well!
  Juliamon: I don't like that the camera seems to have momentum
  TXC2: don't push yourself
  TXC2: Juliamon  same
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Take a break and stare out of a window for five monutes?
Exxaxl: Oh ew.
 MrSarkhan: oh that's weird
 SquareDotCube: yeah it's adaptive FOV
hyalopterous: yeah that's weird
  TXC2: like a dolly zoom
 TehAmelie: it feels like we're piloting a shopping cart
andrew632: any accessibility options to turn it off?
Exxaxl: As someone who gets seasick on boats and can get it from 3D cinemas, turn off alllll those shenanigans. Motion blur, adaptive FOV, camera shake, whatever fake filters they put on. Hard no.
 SquareDotCube: hit the + on post processing
 lamina5432: is it supposed to make you look faster because it certainly doesnt
 JKBalch: Will it still do that at max FOV?
 TehAmelie: if it is a way to make the PC feel weighty, i think it's the wrong way
 SquareDotCube: when they're greyed out like that you have to exit the game usually
 SquareDotCube: Take a break and futz around, might just need to drop to lowest settings
andrew632: @SquareDotCube Or the video card/display mode doesn't support it
 TheAinMAP: 
  Juliamon: You tried, at least
 Bassios: I blame the game devs for not allowing you to disable that
  TXC2: no worries James
 MrSarkhan: all good. Take care of yourself 
 kristian_fischer: Not worth the aggravation, James. All good.
KeytarCat: I think it's so that you don't lose visibility when moving fast?
 lamina5432: motion sick is a reason not to play
 koelkastmagneet: when trying again, have a backup game incase it happens again
  Juliamon: Sometimes it just happens. You aren't the first.
  TXC2: !next
  LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Crossing the Streams (The LoadingReadyRun crew join hands (sometimes from the comfort of their homes) to play video games together! Game: Jumping Jazz Cats) at Mon 05:00 PM PST (2:54 from now).
 kristian_fischer: This sounds like a Horner game. 
  TXC2: !events
  LRRbot: Want to know what's coming up? Check out https://loadingreadyrun.com/live for an interactive schedule, or http://lrr.cc/schedule for a Google Calendar version.
 LordZarano: Yeah that's how motion sickness goes
 SquareDotCube: Devs really need to understand not to mess with the camera in FPSes.
 CaptainSpam: Well, now the Moonbase won't be woken up!
  TXC2: W+P Hype!
 kristian_fischer: Nobody can stop the Horner Happening!
 FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Now I'm expecting a makeup stream with sparkly nail polish and lots of eyeshadow. 
 TehAmelie: thanks for having us, as far as we got
  TXC2: so whose gonna be the Iroas monster? 
 kristian_fischer: It happens. Take care, James.
 TheAinMAP: Thank you for streaming.

 TehAmelie: more Magnus Archive for me
  Juliamon: first season is still my fav season
 TehAmelie: mine too (cause it's as far as i am)
  Juliamon: the lofi audio quality with Johnny's delivery really works just so well
Critterbot: I had to step away for a bit so I missed it, can anyone fill me on what happened?
  Juliamon: James started feeling motion sick and we couldn't find a setting that fixed the issue
  Juliamon: He's gonna try to fit in a bonus stream later this week if he can get it to work on his PC
Critterbot: I see, that's unfortunate, hopefully he can get it to work.
 TehAmelie: good chance it's an EA problem so if nothing works they could make it better in time
 TehAmelie: so, TMA gets higher production values later on?, i guess the kayfabe is Jon will finally invest in a current day tape recorder
  Juliamon: yeah, it changes over time as circumstances evolve
  Juliamon: both plot-wise, and IRL
  Juliamon: there's a Q&A where they talk about how the early episodes were recorded under a blanket
 TehAmelie: ha
