RockPusher: Beej's eyes are powerful enemies
TXC2:
oh, I assumed Beej was just bleary eyed from sleeping
TXC2: Heather has the power of foresight
Strebenherz: I have food stashed in my work truck for the same reason
Strebenherz: Private ish but yeah
MenomeAlice: Heather's ready to bunker down in the event of a crisis
RockPusher: "What do you keep in your draw?" "Snacks!"
TXC2: !addquote (Beej) [now] You can trade food for sleep.
LRRbot: New quote #9526: "You can trade food for sleep." —Beej [2026-02-13]
Bruceski: I just discovered a foodhack that I'm surprised it took me 20 years of adulthood to figure out. If I mix the pancake batter the night before then I don't have to worry about measurements and juggling half a dozen ingredients in the morning when I'm groggy and just want to put a thing on the stove.
accountmadeforants: Speaking of Roblox, Twitch has a "Roblox" link in the top bar for some reason and I'm scared to click it.
accountmadeforants: The people in charge there figure that if they've been getting away with it for so long that's not suddenly going to change.
RockPusher: presumably in breach of various jurisdictions' privacy laws
kingandcommoner: It's not so much based on children as it is children are used to justify it
calculated_uncertainties: It's 'easier' to ban than to change culture. so gross
MenomeAlice: We just need new people to come out at 16 years old, that'll solve everything 👍
TXC2: those laws seem to have screwed porn sites and reddit, but have done NOTHING to the things actually harming children
Juliamon: TXC2 By design.
TXC2: Juliamon exactly
Strebenherz: @TXC2 ^^^
MenomeAlice: That fashion-parade Roblox game blew up in a major way, yet only ever saw the McElroys play it out of all the gaming related streams
RockPusher: popular or not alas often doesn't correlate with Good or Bad and/or high and low quality
Bruceski: We'd rent a super nintendo for my birthday, play it nonstop for the weekend, and then the damage to our schedules from doing that was used as evidence for why we couldn't buy a super nintendo.
TheMerricat: based on a 'salaried employee' working 2080 hours a year, that's roughly 174 hours a month if you are doing something 'full time'. That would mean you'd need 68,965,517 people playing Roblox full time a month.
TXC2: 4 hours EVERY day a month
Strebenherz: They could be fudging numbers to make investors happy
Decaped: Roblox isn't profitable, yet, too. Something I recently learned.
TXC2: TheMerricat so most of Germany, or twice the population of Canada
TheMerricat: @TXC2 Which makes me wonder how accurate their numbers are and how much of it is hyperbole.
TXC2: TheMerricat indeed
LordZarano: Wonder how many messages are sent in Twitch chats every day
TXC2: 12.5%
RockPusher: Data reporting often subtly changes the meaning when going from the actual technical datum being used as the measure vs what it is reported as
CAKHost: Hello everyone!
Bruceski: I wonder how much of that is "log in at wakeup, leave it in the background all day"
TXC2: hello CAKHost welcome
jacqui_lantern234:

@LordZarano StreamElements (which seems to track just about every channel) is currently hovering around 1750 chat messages per second, so extrapolate from that

A million is big, a billion is bigger. one thousand times one million, that's one billion --The Fat Boys (Square One)
Blip2004: 100M people is only 10% of 1B so 2% of total global population
RockPusher: individual lines of text i-> number of documents added to the collection in the database in the month -> number of messages sent in the month
TXC2:
Blip2004 yeah I was an order of magnitude off
CAKHost: Roblox? Continues to do Anything? Horrors
RockPusher: the interpretation differing slightly between the layers of developer, sysadmin, and data analyst
DoodlestheGreat: My nephew played it, as did most of his elementary school class.
Decaped: Once Roblox is no longer in the growth phase we'll see how bad it can actually get.
TheMerricat: So for reality checking, 6 months ago there was an article pushed out that Roblox hit it's all time max concurrent player count of ~45 million. Me thinks Roblox is cooking the books for investors.
ThingsOnMyStream: Hello!
Blip2004: @TXC2 I have that happen a lot as well
CAKHost: Oh god D8
RockPusher:
Paul has sufficiently conditioned us to hear that "Hello!" in his voice 
CAKHost: Oh hey Paul!
CAKHost: XD
TheMerricat: Bad news Beej, it's already in enshifitication phase. It lives because it's player base it too young to realize.
MenomeAlice: Watch & Play is deliberate enshittification
TXC2: remember: 1 million seconds is 11 days, 1 billion seconds is 31 years!
jacqui_lantern234: @ThingsOnMyStream hey paul, guess what?! YOURE AMAZING AND WONDERFUL AND LOVED
jacqui_lantern234:
get got, NERD
Bruceski: That has been noticed and appreciated
Wolfstrike_NL:
We did just throw out rules because Paul is not in the studio, does that count as enshittification? 
RockPusher: If the incentives and/or pressures require it then they can easily corrupt
Bruceski: Nothing drops me off watching YT shows more than an ad break right in the middle of a sentence every 3 minutes
jacqui_lantern234:

CAKHost: The "Take That British Museum!" The Game!
CAKHost: @TXC2 XD
MenomeAlice: As a British person, we have a lot of things we shouldn't
ThingsOnMyStream: Some of the bronzes have been actually been returned.
public_key_reveal_party: Writes down "beej is not omniscient"
accountmadeforants: Some museums have gotten good about repatriating stuff, and some... haven't (notably the British Museum)
Blip2004: I find a lot of mobile game ads now just use random tiktok videos
ThingsOnMyStream: Reminds me a bit of the Mirror's Edge mobile game
DoodlestheGreat: Part of the complication with the British Museum is the requirement to go through Parliment for repatriation, and I don't mean George Clinton.
public_key_reveal_party: A touch teardown too
CAKHost: Yeah this reminded me of a specific game on Rythem Cafe
EvilBadman: Aerial_Knight's Never Yield
RockPusher: Gunpoint comes to mind
undecided44: The perspective and environmental presentation reminds me of Shadow Complex
CAKHost: I just remember the one highlight where Ian was like "I'm going to do the thing!" And he then very clearly did not do the thing XD
ThingsOnMyStream:
@DoodlestheGreat Ya, there is literally a law in the UK against the British Museum giving artifacts back 
TheMerricat: Was pulling the plug after 17 days because they didn't get the audience though? I feel like something happening that quickly suggests they had a funding deal fall through.
INCSlayer: from what i understand Highguard didnt pick or pay for that spot though that was just Keighly aparrently liking the game and just putting it in that slot
INCSlayer: the hollow Knight Switch 2 version was the highlight for the partner direct for em

Mamoru Oshii's Avalon, have you seen it? 
LordZarano: English Nintendo Directs are also in a completely different order to the Japanese ones
accountmadeforants: Oshii managed to trick me into thinking Urusei Yatsura was cool as fuck.
TheMerricat: BTW Beej is correct, Patlabour's second movie is a MUST watch.
Decaped: Go be confused by Angel's Egg as Oshii-san intends
MenomeAlice: @themerricat Patlabor 2 was the first anime I ever watched
TheMerricat:
@MenomeAlice You started off well. 
BlueMechanic: It's been on my watchlist for while but its hard to track down
accountmadeforants:
Holy shit same experience (though roommate's room, not an anime con)
Decaped: He literally said in an interview he doesn't mind people falling asleep during these films because that means the dream like quality is working
Thefluffiestguineapig: What have I missed so far?
MenomeAlice: @TheMerricat It meant as a 8-9 year old, I was both confused and when stuff like DBZ turned up it felt far too childish 😅
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig the roblox story
lightfut: Innocence remaster? 🤔
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Decaped At least it's dream like as opposed to nightmare space
ThingsOnMyStream: Beej's Anime Chillpoint
Juliamon: Shirow?
accountmadeforants: Shirow
Piratical_tendancies: shirow
aerolend: Yes, 1 and 2 directed by Oshii.
TheMerricat: GiTS has several series and most of them are considered their own 'timeline/universe'
aerolend:
@TheMerricat 
accountmadeforants:
For some reason I confuse Shirow and Nightow in my head, it's the "ow" part I guess Like oh yeah, Shirow also did Trigun (no he didn't, that was Nightow)
DoodlestheGreat: Looking forward to the Science Saru remake this Summer.
TheMerricat: GiTS movie makes you feel like you are dreaming watching the movie.
Bruceski: "We're building a world, in an hour we'll blow it up."
accountmadeforants: I haven't seen it, so that means nobody's seen it
TheMerricat:

TheMerricat:
And the OVA, and the TV series, and the movies all were slightly different takes on Patlabor.
accountmadeforants:
There are grown-ass adults out there who watched Sword Art Online as a kid. Young anime fans are pretty far removed from Patlabor
Bruceski: When I hear Patlabor I think if an image from an AMV of dancing chibi pigs and I have no idea if that clip was actually from Patlabor.
TheMerricat: Is SAO still going or did it finish?
aerolend: Some reboots in the last decade, too.
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat No clue, it just seemed like an appropriate touchstone
radiowasabi2014: the eyecatch for patlabor... Ingram.... Ingram....
Decaped: Yes, Patlabor is meant to make you sleep!
Cptasparagus: ive seen the patlabor movies but I also have ghost the shell section 9 symbol tattoed on me so I'm probably an outlier
TheMerricat: Burn the witch!
radiowasabi2014: Condition Green great opening song
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's valid Heather
TXC2: let her speak!

@Cptasparagus Nice!

Thefluffiestguineapig: People are allowed to have preferences chat. It is why having different kinds of art and media is so important
radiowasabi2014: it's 2026 where's our mobile police robos!!!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @radiowasabi2014 PLEASE NO
MenomeAlice: The BBC showed Patlabor 2 as part of an "Introduction to anime" week in the 90s. My very first anime at 8-9 years old.
Cptasparagus: the GitS reboot looks *amazing* though
lirazel64: The Patlabor stories are solid. So are the GitS stories.
accountmadeforants: Your mom's smart
Cptasparagus: most of them have been so disappointing (looking at you Arise)
RockPusher:
Cats vs Dogs, Trek vs Wars, Beatles vs Elvis… as it ever was
ThingsOnMyStream: Give Patrick Labor a chance!
radiowasabi2014: Alphonse!!
Thefluffiestguineapig: EVERY DAY? I have a lightsaber tattoo and THAT'S TOO FAR.
TheMerricat: Arise?
Decaped: ProZD had a good video. His point was there wasn't enough character work in some sci fi to really keep his interest
BlueMechanic: Is that the one with the guy who looks like he's going to the store?
Blip2004: That one was pretty weird
Decaped: Some stories are about the world and some are about the characters.
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think the Clone Wars Cartoon might work better for you Heather because you can jump in and out and it has a sense of "a lot of this is dumb"
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is as someone that skips all the dumb angsty Anakin stuff
Singenmeister: @TheMerricat hiatus I think
radiowasabi2014: konya wa hurricane....
Blip2004: I still think the best Ghost series is Stand Alone Complex (the first season)
TheMerricat:
@Decaped And Patlabor was about a production team doing it's damnest to keep Angel Egg wierdness out of the story by hiding the scripts.
radiowasabi2014: macross plus? macross 7?
ThingsOnMyStream:
I wore a back brace for 2 years in High School, which I called Alphonse because it was my "mobile suit"
TheMerricat: God, Bubblegum Crisis...
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hi Paul!!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also that's precious and I'm sorry you had to do that
Blip2004: A lot of the Macross stuff is on Disney+ in Canada for some reason
Cptasparagus: @ThingsOnMyStream as long as there wasn't a blood circle on the inside
radiowasabi2014: ooh martian successor nadesico
accountmadeforants:
I was fortunate to have robust Usenet groups during my most active anime-watching years
MenomeAlice: I introduced my wife to Bubblegum Crisis last year and she immediately fell in love with it
accountmadeforants: Georg Fallout 4
TheMerricat: I am really sad that we never got a full english translation of the Banner/Crest of the Stars series.
radiowasabi2014: that's like playing ff7 and getting everyone to level 99 before leaving midgar lol
TXC2: to be fair, the main story in fallout 4 sucks
TheMerricat:
Matt Wiggins school of playing Narrative games.
aerolend: It is a farming game.
RockPusher: tbf all the Fallout 4 plot lines are kinda unsatisfying
Thefluffiestguineapig: He's turned it into "a man and his dog" wasteland edition
RockPusher: Fallout 4 *is* at its best when you are just fucking around
DoodlestheGreat: Alex plays F4 that way. He cares not for the main story, he just durdles around the Commonwealth.
EvilBadman: Fallout 4 has a whole settlement building system you can just dive into without doing MQ stuff
ThingsOnMyStream: he also liked the VATS thing so it doesn't require reflexes
Ignatiuspants: I put a few hundred hours into Skyrim that way
accountmadeforants: Reminds me of Terry Pratchett playing a bunch of Elder Scrolls Oblivion and just wandering about to get a feel for the world. (And even collaborating on a mod for it)
Thefluffiestguineapig: The best Fallout 4 plotlines are ones from a YouTube series called the Storyteller which is all fan made anyways
MenomeAlice: I have never progressed the main story in Fallout 4 beyond getting Nick Valentine and Piper as companions
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm shocked he didn't go get companions yeah, good point MenomeAlice
CAKHost: Animal Crossing You say?
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is a great example of "play however makes you happy"
ThingsOnMyStream: Anyone else getting a banner on this twitch page saying "Watch non-stop Roblox action on Twitch and earn exclusive rewards." 🙄
Juliamon: yeah that banner's been there all week
EvilBadman: I still boot up RDR2 to just go fishing and wanderin'
GedankenPalast_: *plays totk rn* I just started a new game.
DoodlestheGreat: @MenomeAlice John Hancock is fun to have.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ThingsOnMyStream Yup, it's part of why I pop out the chat and watch in an android client on my TV
TheAinMAP: There's even a Roblox button in the top left now.
CAKHost: I've been ignoring any of the banners bannering. Because they usually aren't great
Thefluffiestguineapig: @CAKHost On the best day they aren't great yeah
aerolend: Oshii's Assault Girls movie from 2009 seems to have sort of Fallout Monster Huntery vibes.
CAKHost: Thanks I hate it -n-
Juliamon: all Twitch is doing is teaching people to ignore adverts even harder
MenomeAlice: I'd also never seen inside an Oblivion portal in, uh, Oblivion until very recently when I saw someone streaming it.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon And to teach streamers to figure out how to opt out potentially
RockPusher: whatever banner is being described I guess I have element-blocked or otherwise nuked
LordZarano: I'm guessing uBO is blocking banners for me
accountmadeforants: I don't have the banner, but I do have the roblox button (and I suppose that answers my question from the start of the stream). Might be either uBlock Origin or FFZ getting rid of it. (Or maybe EU things?)
CAKHost: As a person with a really high flinch response; I do my best to ignore them because there's going to be one that will Startle Me and make me upset
Decaped: I completely empathize with everything you are saying right now Beej
Earthenone: i saw the banner earlier, it was quite annoying
CAKHost: And sudden moving elements on a webpage can cause trigger my flinches
TXC2:
yeah, no banner, but I've got Following, Browse and Roblox at the top of page
Thefluffiestguineapig: @CAKHost Yeah, visuals aren't bad for me but audio is horrific. That's part of why I watch the way I do
RockPusher: aphantasiacs report in!
accountmadeforants: Disassemble the apple in your head, picture a worm in it. Take a bite out of it.
Cptasparagus: ive got absolutely nothing going on in the brain visualization arena. Complete aphantasia.
TheMerricat:
We are all AI hallucinating reality.
CAKHost: Oh and so many of the ads on twitch are food related and I reaaally don't need to be reminded about Ads that are telling me what foods I am missing out on -n-
RockPusher: So pokemon with grandpas and crib?
RockPusher:
TXC2: TheMerricat yeap, Perception is not reality
Thefluffiestguineapig: @CAKHost Yeah, thanks twitch, I know I'm poor already
accountmadeforants: Oh I assumed Kathleen was just playing actual cribbage with actual grandpas and thought that was cool as fuck
TXC2: or was just joking about the Cribbages streams LRR has made
radiowasabi2014: i could never get the rules for scoring lol
Thefluffiestguineapig: That was proto-arena, right?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Duels of the Planeswalkers?
TXC2: ^
RockPusher: Duels is how I learned how to play Magic
TXC2: still have those on steam
accountmadeforants: Magic Duels was probably one of the best tutorials Magic ever had (putting aside that they had weir deckbuilding rules)
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm sad they stopped supporting it, it was a great way to learn
TheMerricat: Their site says they are on both.
EvilBadman: lol the google play on that site 404s
TXC2: it gradely evolved into Arena
compactdisco: I'm pretty sure arena still has vs AI learning stuff, though I haven't checked recently.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants Oh for sure, the tutorial on Arena for the colors feels like a discount version of it
TXC2: *gradually
Thefluffiestguineapig: The arena version feels less good because it isn't patient about the handholding
accountmadeforants: @Thefluffiestguineapig The best thing it did was having new stories/tutorials for every set.
CAKHost: I've been playing some tolerable free to play mobile game. They still have microtransations in them so not not freemium warning but they are tolerable.
CAKHost: To me.
accountmadeforants: Great way to get people used to the new mechanics and also get them interested in the MTG story
MenomeAlice: I wish online games like League had those sort of AI matches. Just an enclosed match with full functionality, but without progression and not putting you straight into the fire
CAKHost: And I really should play more Heroll.
CAKHost: Its fun and I love the title
Thefluffiestguineapig: @accountmadeforants You mean Duels right? Because every new set I long for those tutorials and don't know why they don't exist in Arena
radiowasabi2014: i have played FF4 multiple times across all the various platforms it's been released on
accountmadeforants: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yeah
RockPusher: *DigDigDrill getting wishlisted based off of Beej's enthusiasm*
accountmadeforants:
@RockPusher I played the shit out of DigDigDrill after Beej mentioned it during that Desert Bus
Snowcookies: I tend to reread chapters rather than whole books
Aitsu111: Oh I do have a game like that I go back to FF1 all the time
accountmadeforants: One downside of audiobooks is it's a bit harder to do that "reread a specific chapter" thing (but I still try occasionally)
consolecowboy88: ooh I do read chapters with like musician biographies I have sometimes
consolecowboy88: I really like the wyrd sisters books too
RockPusher: Om
Bruceski: Smal Gods, the Great God Om
DoodlestheGreat: Om
accountmadeforants: Small Gods yeah
RockPusher: It's Small Gods
accountmadeforants: Small Gods is genuinely fantastic
RockPusher: Brutha and Om
CAKHost: I seem to get more and more of a book when I reread them. Like I retain some on the first reading but I find it that I get more out of it after multiple readings myself
Bruceski: More like a hundred years or two, but still very disconnected
accountmadeforants:
And that's where the History Monks come in
Decaped: haha, yes, formally it was 1000 years ago, but now it only happened 200 years ago
CAKHost: I haven't really read anything though in a while because reading a book is low priority unfortunately
radiowasabi2014: i could always rewatch any episode of ST: TNG at any time no matter what lol
radiowasabi2014: or classic Doctor Who
RockPusher: Sneakers is a good rewatch
Thefluffiestguineapig: @radiowasabi2014 Any of them? Really?
radiowasabi2014: hiiiiiiiii lol
CAKHost: Granted, I poked at my Japanese workbook which. Do workbooks work for reading?
ContingentCat: For me it's Grey's Anatomy, yeah I've watched it so many times as a comfort thing
radiowasabi2014: @Thefluffiestguineapig yes any of them lol
TXC2: yeah, I hardly ever watch my DVDs, but I'll DVR star trek eps
accountmadeforants:
People have set up ways to make "fake TV channels" using their media servers for that exact reason
TheMerricat:
Watching three hours of the best parts though.
RockPusher: I less rewatch things than scrub through reminding myself of good bits
consolecowboy88: how about patronizing media?
radiowasabi2014: lool
consolecowboy88: I only second screen win stuff I know well
JessieImproved: Oh goodness, if I beat myself up about doing two things I wouldn't make it (ADHD)
MenomeAlice: I have you on the TV and chat on my phone, is that OK
radiowasabi2014: you want an example of people rewatching shows, just look at the stats of people rewatching Heated Rivalry lol
Decaped: be sure to get four round media meals and follow the Media Arch portion guidelines
RockPusher: I make the distinction between "I am putting on some background noise" and "I am watching this thing"
Cptasparagus:
im listening to you guys while im running a lab experiment
LordZarano: I'm practicing Japanese while watching, but very slowly cause most of my attention is on watching
r10pez10: i'm in chat without the stream up
CAKHost: I've wanted to host a stream to my personal discord on some of the DVDs I have because I think it is more natural to me to put those on for me and others because that's what I grew up doing with that content
ContingentCat: I like that about going to a movie in theatres, I can't look at my phone, I have to focus
Cptasparagus: @r10pez10 true chaos
CAKHost: Which reminds me that I did just wanted to rewatch the power ranger's movie. I might just plan that out this weekend
CAKHost: I blame Roll For Sandwich for pushing me on it
BusTed:

DoodlestheGreat: And it can STILL be beaten using Gary's Mod.
CAKHost: PFFF hahahaha XD
Thefluffiestguineapig: hehehehehehhee
Thefluffiestguineapig: Heather with the FACTS
RockPusher: I assume that also happened over a fairly short time span
Thefluffiestguineapig:
TXC2: be nice to the discord mods
gualdhar: like Seabat's shitpost channel
RockPusher:
Beej officially not safe for work
ContingentCat:
going fucking nuts is for other channels
Strebenherz: Beej's quality memes, F
CAKHost: The creation channel is Heather's child? I can see the resemblence!
TheMerricat:
@RockPusher I fear for the person who ever thought he was.
RockPusher: The Beej will be experienced until moral improves
DoodlestheGreat: A lot of people on Paetron use Discord to distribute their artwork so they can avoid being scraped.
TheMerricat: @DoodlestheGreat Same for game mods.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Discussion of H-games is important culture. There are always excitingly new ways for them to be terrible. Often in very funny ways
TXC2: !mastodon
LRRbot: LoadingReadyRun is now on Mastodon! You can find them at kind.social/@LoadingReadyRun, and LRRMtG at kind.social/@LRRMTG
r10pez10: !venmo
ErynTzun:
DoodlestheGreat: I'm split beteen a few sites, and I'll bounce among then depending on my mood.
LordZarano: It sure is
RockPusher: yeah, the IRC still lives
TXC2: hello ErynTzun welcome
RockPusher: (I've not been there in many years, but it is there)
Juliamon: IRC is hard to kill
ContingentCat: same as it ever was
RubikDarkwill: It had some difficulties recently (RIP Gunner, who owned the URL)
itmightbemikey: I miss AIM
TheMerricat: Tribes.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Juliamon I'm pretty sure we're using it right now!
RockPusher: humans build communities
RockPusher: we're wired for it
ContingentCat: people making groups is one of the things humans have done as long as there's been humans
Sethalidos subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 63 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Sethalidos! (Today's storm count: 9)
TheMerricat:
It was a thing before the internet. See the fan groups that started for Star Trek - that were actually responsible for it not being canceled.
TXC2: RockPusher it's one of our evolutionary niches
RockPusher: the medium and reach has changed over time - but the drive is natural
Thefluffiestguineapig: And that's how you can customize things!
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: I like Masto because I can finish the local feed and have to do something else
TheMerricat: Pbht. Look at Heather chat, she doesn't read the entire encyclopedia.
CAKHost: That reminds me that tumblr has a home page. I don't check it that often because I like the dashboard
RockPusher:
Tumblr has always sounded to me like Beej's typo of sickos
CAKHost: don't check/outright ignore
gualdhar: I have to be extremely extremely bored to look at /r/all, otherwise I'm just in specific subreddits
itmightbemikey: I've NEVER used the For You feed
ErynTzun: The only one left where you can view things in order
ContingentCat: @gualdhar oh god I don't think I've ever been that bored
CAKHost: Oh yeah. XD
TheMerricat:
Chat, I'm starting to believe that Beej is 90% shitpost by volume.
CAKHost: Tumblr: hey there are these tabs. Me: Cool I'll just see who I'm following has posted
RockPusher: TheMerricat only 90% Seems low
GapFiller: TheMerricat Beej is a Goon waddaya expect
gualdhar: @ContingentCat look, sometimes I'm trapped somewhere with just my phone, and I've removed a lot of the worst subreddits
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Discord was a step too far for me. Everything in Discord used to be outside their corporate silo.
JessieImproved: related but I never go to the Twitch homepage either - always directory/following
CAKHost: XD
Juliamon: aw man, World Book didn't do that
ErynTzun: Tumblr is much more under your control, especially with extensions to block things and by using the built in keywords so you don't have to see certain garbage, it's not perfect for sure.
TXC2: FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving discord is far too much of a closed shop for my liking
RockPusher: Encarta MindMaze forever!
Bruceski: fat layers look weird
CAKHost: Unrelated, I want to get a poseable skeleton just to have a fellow human shape in my apartment.
TheMerricat:
Thefluffiestguineapig: @CAKHost Those can get expensive
Thefluffiestguineapig: Have you considered squirrel skeletons instead?
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @TXC2 Yeah. I see people reverse engineering stuff and using Discord to share notes and it gives me violent thoughts.
CAKHost: I'm sure that might be horrible for some but I blame Dylan and Henry
CAKHost: @Thefluffiestguineapig Found one for 20 USD on Amazon I plan on getting
RockPusher: Encyclopædia represented Knowledge™
TheMerricat:
Not the articles.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @CAKHost OH you mean fake. Not real bones. Ah that reduces the cost
CAKHost: XD
CAKHost: Sorry I didn't specifiy that XD
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also I hang out with very specific kinds of people
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Some people read Black's Medical Dictionary for the pictures. They are still screaming to this very day.
ErynTzun: Steam chat is so basic
EvilBadman: Somone posted a picture of Xfire the other day and I turned to dust
Thefluffiestguineapig: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving No, I hang out with those people. But we read the medical veterinary dictionaries because humans are gross medically and we would rather deal with the complexities of multiple species
JessieImproved: That's...not how I used Discord, mostly
Decaped: XFIRE! Gandalf.gif
GedankenPalast_: Oh is that now in the normal branch? I was using the beta since forever
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Steam chat: "Piss off! I'm playing a single-player game to relax on my own!"
Thefluffiestguineapig: Normal people scream at medical dictionaries. My people tilt their head and ask if there is another angle
DoodlestheGreat: One of the Discord channels I watch has put uo a Steam Chat this week because of the recent idiocy.
CAKHost: I've surpised my mom with talking with her on my friends list for steam. That's about it
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Thefluffiestguineapig But, Doctor . . . I am those people!
JessieImproved: Wait for your kid's friend to ask if you're ok because of how many hours you've been on a game >_<
e_bloc: but I log onto steam to avoid people
CAKHost: Something something reinventing the wheel, is what I am hearing?
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Yeah, fair point. No client is good.
RockPusher: Steam has been trying to build out in-house competition to Discords functionality for years
ErynTzun: Well you can view steam in browser anyway, I prefer it since you can use extensions to improve it on it.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Also, Valve don't make you sign in to read their stuff . . .
Cptasparagus: in my experience Discord isn't very resource hungry at least
TheMerricat: So @LoadingReadyRun this is actually _old_ news that you pulled up. All of these features were added a while ago. Like years. But it is a good idea to remind folk Steam does it.
CAKHost: If I wasn't married to my Switch, I'd agree for those who are only on Steam
itmightbemikey: hello Skype
RockPusher: See also Steam's streaming support as competition to Twitch
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: <laughs in older-than-Ian>
e_bloc: just roll it all back
Lord_Hosk: Bring back Live journal!
ErynTzun: Time to go back to Vent and IRC lol j/k.
DoodlestheGreat: @Lord_Hosk Sadly, the Russians own it.
itmightbemikey: Live Jouirnal still exists, but is owned by Russia, so take that as you will
Molladia: @Lord_Hosk No wait. Urgh I need to wipe some content
Cptasparagus: Discord was at PAX South every year
TXC2: right chat I'm off
CAKHost: Good night TXC2! o/
1 raiders from Shurtal have joined!
aerolend: [xkcd 1782, Team Chat, about IRC] img
TXC2: goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather and Beej
TXC2: also Hello raiders
TheMerricat: Night TXC2!
Cptasparagus: they announced an IPO for later this year
ErynTzun: LiveJournal still exists i ways get a new anniversary badge even though I don't use it. All kinds of baldness made it a thing ppl didn't want to keep using.
TheMerricat: baldness or badness?
ErynTzun: Badness, dang it Auto Cucumber
TheMerricat:
Wolfstrike_NL: "Now enshittification starts"
ErynTzun: Sorry walking and typing on my Z fold
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh I'm so mad about the stupid sparkly button and the screens I need to click past
e_bloc: when your stakeholders stop having the same priorities as the employees, the business will inevitably become somewhat enshittified
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc And in the modern world that is more and more divorced
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: How many slices would you have to cut from a billionaire to coer the people their fortune would feed and house for life?
ErynTzun: I was so much better at walking and typing with physical keys, no need to look down, all touch type.
TheMerricat:
Trial means I'll forget to cancel it in a year and you'll both jack up the prices AND make it impossible to cancel.
e_bloc:
@Thefluffiestguineapig yeah it somehow matches the spread of private equity firms
consolecowboy88: beej you just described the median voter in terms of how they think inflation should work: I want a service but don’t wanna pay taxes
ContingentCat: and while we're at it I'd like a magical unicorn, we all like free things
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: The libertarian "experiments" go that way - Grafton
TheMerricat: The internet is a horde of locusts. We consume, then move to the next field.
TheMerricat:
Reminder to chat, Usenet is still a thing.
TheMerricat:
So is IRC.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc And billionaires, and the privatization of the social safety networks
RockPusher: Community splits are/were common
LordZarano: Steam also announced a week ago that memory and storage shortages mean they "must revisit our exact shipping schedule and pricing (especially around Steam Machine and Steam Frame)."
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @TheMerricat ISP support for UseNet is terrible now. That said, it's ideal for a homelab server now.
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig it's true--you can trace this all back to just the absolute spread of capitalism to everything
Cptasparagus: @TheMerricat im still corresponding by writing messages to people on the back wall of the waffle house
RockPusher: Key people fall out, people lose interest or can't spend time, etc
ErynTzun: I have virtual cards via Privacy dot com I make a card to use for a trial, enroll, then put the limit to $1, it declines and cancels if i forget. LOL
TheMerricat:
@LordZarano Gabe Newell's plan to destroy AI companies, tell his Valve fan base AI is preventing them from shipping a Steam gadget.
e_bloc: why would a company provide a pension that costs them more, requires complex accounting, and gives the company exposure to loss when you can just tell them 401ks are great and we'll match 3% of your salary
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: FOSS is riddled with scumbags. Luckily we can route around them.
EvilBadman: @TheMerricat Gabe is not the anti-ai paragon you think he is
TheMerricat:
@EvilBadman I don't think he was at all, I was making a joke.
ErynTzun: I never use my bank account or real debit card to pay for anything. I don't trust anybody let alone subscription sevices.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Then cancel the 401k after a year if they don't do something that is super unclear how to do, give the money the company contributed back then ship them the check for everything else
TreeVor84: small we-we groups.
TreeVor84: or Wee we groups
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: There's DashCon excitement and then there's old husb incremental improement excitement . . .
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: *husk
gualdhar: either an ID or video of your face
LordZarano: Is Bandcamp still inexplicably doing fine despite being sold to an investment company?
Thefluffiestguineapig: But you can just lie
Wolfstrike_NL: It's already in effect in AUS en GB
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also this is jumping in front of things for the EU and places outside the US I bet
ErynTzun: Children can do math, and also lie.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: The stats from porn sites are telling a very pragmatic story in the UK where this lunacy really kicked off.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Then don't hook it up to wifi
JessieImproved: Someone could get into your whole network through your thermostat, the security on that stuff is awful
Thefluffiestguineapig: Of course they do
aerolend: A third party that provides age verification and also leaks all of that data.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Re thermostats - I have terrible, cheap WiFi light bulbs. They're now running alternatie firmware and are purely controlled by the local network.
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!)
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: The worst thing about the theatre is that it's reducing security at the personal level
RubikDarkwill: It's dystopian, that's the word for it
compactdisco: legislators are old people who usually understand how this stuff works, that's often why
TheMerricat: Look, Youtube didn't setup Youtube kids because they wanted to protect kids, they did it because that means they can point to Youtube kids when lawmakers show up. Discord isn't doing this because they care if you are a kid or not, they are doing it because they want to be able to point to this when lawmakers show up
LordZarano: "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!"
Lord_Hosk: Libertarianism is great... until you remember roads and water pipes
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Talking to people about how you need to use it is a contribution
Thefluffiestguineapig: It is the same as all the lower level government websites (SNAP, unemployment etc) have a MASSIVE warning that pops up before you log in, after you log in about how you can be prosecuted for fraud and things if you are logging into the wrong account. Also they instituted two-factor authentication for no reason to a system that already required password reset every 90 days and has a website that looks like it is from 1999
jacqui_lantern234: i shouldnt have to learn skills im not interested in to avoid problems placed upon me
taliesinskye: As a US attorney, I feel like even we can't fix everything going on right now and I feel like we are the ones who are supposed to know.
RockPusher: Technological solutions to social problems rarely tend to work as intended.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Do you know what helps social problems? Massive difficult social change
jacqui_lantern234: like, sure, linux IS better than microsoft or apple (generally), but i dont wanna HAVE TO learn to code in any capacity to avoid the nonsense that microsoft and apple are forcing me to engage with
INCSlayer: you dont have to learn to code in any capacity to use linux
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: The geoblocking is a corporate imposition to carve ip regions
Thefluffiestguineapig: @jacqui_lantern234 For sure, I shouldn't have to learn to code so my electronics go beyond their planned obsolescence
Cptasparagus: spending public money on software is just asking for grift
RockPusher: "We want to prevent this behaviour!" "Okay, are you going to fix the incentives that lead to that behaviour?" "Haha, no, we're gonna use collective punishment!" "That thing that is a war crime?" "Yeah!"
jacqui_lantern234: to a larger point, i dont wanna have to learn to safely protest to justify my simple existence as a queer person
jacqui_lantern234: @Thefluffiestguineapig 💯
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: "We've been despairing about this for thirty years now!"
ContingentCat: as they say information is power
RockPusher:
There is a lot of good mushroom content this anime season 
DoodlestheGreat: I just restarted No Man's Sky because they did an update that adds trucks, scrapyards... and a gravity gun. :tf:
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: It's pretty rough when there's something worse than beating the alpha and the omega.
aerolend: That's how it is in life, really.
DoodlestheGreat:
A feline Bofuri! 
CAKHost:
Thanks for the stream, Beej and Heather!
ErynTzun: How upgrade kitty meow meow?
CAKHost: Bye everyone
DoodlestheGreat: cu l8r, CAK.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hades 2 is RAD
Thefluffiestguineapig: There's a cat friend
aerolend: huh
Thefluffiestguineapig: I just deflated
Juliamon: so it's 20% of the game
RockPusher: that's a lot of side stories to remove
aerolend: So... It's a demake?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, don't. That's so much game removed
ErynTzun: Get old version, not spend 90 bucks
aClonedPickle: blockuza 3 goated after all
ErynTzun: I understand, just a suggestion
Thefluffiestguineapig: Come play on Tiltyhouse
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @aerolend Souns more like an anti-make
consolecowboy88: the upcoming yakuza game sounds like a mess too4 they fired the voice actor who did cocaine and hired a voice actor guy who assaulted pellets
consolecowboy88: people*
consolecowboy88: or is this another yakuza game yer talking about
Thefluffiestguineapig: @consolecowboy88 I'm sorry, the one who did Cocaine?
EvilBadman: the day Yak/LAD 7 hits switch will be a good day
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also That sounds like BAD DECISIONS
ErynTzun: I play on switch 2, steam deck and my big home desktop so I have choices
LilyOfTheVeil666: Also, they removed the previous remake of Yakuza 3
Thefluffiestguineapig: That game has been more engaging to watch than it has any right to be
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LilyOfTheVeil666 WHY
consolecowboy88: hang on I can get names cos I only see this on my bluesky feed cos it’s a combo of Japan video game fans and liberals
LilyOfTheVeil666: @Thefluffiestguineapig Because capitalism
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, I don't think cocaine is the character name is all
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LilyOfTheVeil666 They can get profoundly bent
consolecowboy88: Pierre taki was the voice actor who got busted for cocaine
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh he got busted for cocaine
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hold on, they fired someone who just got busted for drugs and HIRED someone who assaults people?
consolecowboy88: yea! it’s fucking stupid and terrible
consolecowboy88: this is for kiwami 2
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is the assault confirmed?
consolecowboy88: kiwami 3
consolecowboy88: the voice actor admitted it apparently
Thefluffiestguineapig: OOF welp then Absolutely NOT bad decisions made
consolecowboy88: I’m replaying g Pokemon white and trying to so a nuzlocke

consolecowboy88: forgive my previous incoherence
consolecowboy88: man I can never figure out earthbound combat
Thefluffiestguineapig: Isn't that some old animes too?
ErynTzun: Earthbound was $80 on SNEs I graduated high school and really still couldn't afford it. Minimum wage was $5.25 and the largest raise we could get was $0.15 every five months.
SimGuy3k: They are able to return to their bodies
Thefluffiestguineapig: There's the one super trippy old anime everyone references I've never watched that people talk about you need to find a hard copy to have the original sound track of
Thefluffiestguineapig: Evangelion!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Does Earthbound have you do an Evangelion?
TheMerricat: For Beej's comfort: "EarthBound (Mother 2) ends with the Chosen Four defeating Giygas, returning to their bodies, and parting ways, followed by a detailed epilogue where the player can walk through the now-safe world to speak with every NPC met during the journey. The ending highlights a photo album of memories, concludes with a, a final letter from Porky, and features credits set over the world's peaceful recovery. "
ErynTzun: Really grown to dislike Eva more and more over time, it was effed up back then and it feels worse now.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ErynTzun Oh I was in NO WAY arguing it was an ok thing. It's PROFOUNDLY messed up
Thefluffiestguineapig: It is more I was asking if I was seeing the similarities correctly
Decaped: Eva is great. it's fucked up in the right ways
TheMerricat:
The name of the game was _RANDOM_
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Decaped It's the kind of art that makes you THINK and you need to sit and stare at a wall
Thefluffiestguineapig: You also need to look at Grim Fandango!
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Being interesting is the goal
consolecowboy88: that’s how I felt about the film detective pikachu
ErynTzun: Yeah I got bored so fast even trying the demo of Detective Pikachu
Thefluffiestguineapig: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving The absolute worst thing a game can do is be boring, this is what I have learned from W+P. After being functional it should aim to at minimum be interesting
consolecowboy88: world building is great but you don’t need Ryan Reynolds

Thefluffiestguineapig: So not perfect, but they are great
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yeah. I'll buy a scattershot of interesting looking indies for more money than I'll part with for another iteration of a big budget game.
Bruceski: Layton v Wright has some issues but when it works it's FUN.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving Hades 2 and Silksong at full price are under $40 US together on Switch or Switch 2. And that's more expensive than the other versions.
RockPusher: !y
LRRbot: HONK!
ErynTzun: Hooray home, now all my typos are my fault entirely.
consolecowboy88: I’m reading a book for our horror book club
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ErynTzun Words are hard
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is it a tessellation game?
LordZarano: Oh wow. I remember the ancient greek geometry game from this!
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Thefluffiestguineapig Right? It turns out that people do actually like single player games that can be played in short bursts around an external life. Fancy that"
ErynTzun: @Thefluffiestguineapig touch screens, walking or riding a bus make for a bad typing time.
ErynTzun: I hope they make another one
radiowasabi2014:
i never did finish the 3rd layton 3DS game
Thefluffiestguineapig: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving Both of them having the feature of pausing in boss fights is SO GOOD for QOL. If my cats have a hairball or I get a delivery then I need to go get that pronto. You have to deal with unpausing and losing your rhythm
RockPusher: It's okay to like smut
radiowasabi2014: is it heated rivalry?lol
consolecowboy88: oh shit I still gotta read that series
consolecowboy88: I have the first heated rivalry book in my libby holds
RockPusher:
RayFK: uh ohhhh, smuuuuutttttyyyyy
RockPusher: Let him kiss Edgeworth you cowards!
LordZarano: The Australian games showcase was probably my favourite last Summer Games Fest
Thefluffiestguineapig: Libby is a great app! Also support your local libraries!
consolecowboy88: I get it!
ErynTzun:
Library is the best, when I couldn't afford a higher electric bill in the summer and it's 90-100f, go to library and read. 
ContingentCat: terry pratchet makes really food audiobooks with his style
ContingentCat: *good
ErynTzun: A nice eye rest
ErynTzun: OH have you tried book covers?
ContingentCat: I totally get it, sometimes they just feel bad
ErynTzun: They are nice, and you can make em personal
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, agreed Heather
ErynTzun: Mass market paper backs are going away, it sucks.
Lord_Hosk: The 5th book in Dungeon Crawler carl is almost 800 pages long... Its taking me forever to read it, not because of how many pages it is, but because its uncomfortable to hold.
ContingentCat: That's the other nice thing about ereaders, harder to damage than paper books
Lord_Hosk: STUFF!
RockPusher: ooer
ContingentCat: Ooooo Panalyist mugs!
gnyrinn: Scarf?!
DoodlestheGreat: As always, if you see Ben Wheeler, you can give him $5.
ErynTzun: I am so at max mug space
ContingentCat: !store

definenull: i'm sad i'm in a place where the climate doesn't really allow for toques and scarves D:
ContingentCat: @DoodlestheGreat I saw the announcement, can't wait!
Thefluffiestguineapig: How much are the scarves and toques?
ContingentCat: 11oz mug is a good size
Going_Medium: I regularly use my checkpoint mug for Hot Chocolate.
RockPusher:
Getting economical print-on-demand is good 
GapFiller: idk plenty of use still for those things over here rn
r10pez10: i do enjoy breaking out the hoodie when it's appropriate
gnyrinn: I’m sure it says on the store, but how big are the mugs?
radiowasabi2014: its back to -20 next week here nooo
Thefluffiestguineapig: I have zero faith the thaw will stick in the Midwest US
r10pez10: ice cream in mugs is pretty good
RockPusher: It doesn't really get cold enough for a toque and scarf here… not that would stop me from buying them
ErynTzun: I live in MN just accumulate whether intended or not. Especially when you think you lost a thing and you get another one, or you get winter things as gifts.
