TXC2: !patreon
TehAmelie: earnest
Crad0k: hello very fine people
TXC2: hello Crad0k welcome
MsMollieMac: o shoot hm do i care about spoilers
TXC2: what does getting good look like?
Crad0k: sherma is *absolutley* in his own little world in this game
MsMollieMac: this looks inviting
Spades_Slicc: oh hell yeah this place
Crad0k: oh, we're starting *here*
MsMollieMac: yknow what i think im gonna dip so i dont get spoiled too too much
MsMollieMac: peace yall
TXC2: wootz steal needle
TXC2: so long MsMollieMac stay safe
Crad0k: yeah, the yellows are a bit underwhelming
Spades_Slicc: Heather, I'm sure you know this but it's a fun animation to show off you can press sprint while wall clinging to walk up the wall a little
Crad0k:
i did this sequence with architect crest because i hate myself 
ogundiety: I'm reminded of that super mario brothers image with the blocks floating vs having just gaps
Spades_Slicc: Clawline
Crad0k: it's kinda rhythm gamey, i feel, you have to execute a set of inputs with strict timing or you fail
Spades_Slicc: *nosferatu voice* You must bounce on it crazy style
TXC2: can we not needle bounce on the spikes ?
Denis_Dobrolubov: Not on vine-spikes like these, only on blade-spikes.
TXC2: !clips

Crad0k:
AugmentingPath: these spots are especially restful because they're full of rapidly moving centipedes, just like in real life
GlennSeto: unlike the White Palace this has infinite healing
TehAmelie: yeah it looks like decent margins. only one wrong step can be such a big setback
TXC2: without getting too spoiler-y, how optional is this place? is like path of pain from the first game?
EvilBadman: Very
Denis_Dobrolubov: Optional. Achievement / bragging rights -like.
GlennSeto: You don't need this for the good ending, I believe.
Strebenherz: so it's the hidden wall behind the chests that leads to a drop maze that leads to the ash lake?
TXC2: Denis_Dobrolubov GlennSeto ok good
Crad0k: it's not even linked to an ending, or a percentage, it's 100% story/achievy
Thefluffiestguineapig: You're doing THIS SECTION????
AugmentingPath: it's chat's fault, sorry
Thefluffiestguineapig: Merciful gods o7
TehAmelie: streaming adds two difficulty levels though
Crad0k: (and by story, i mostly actually mean lore)
GlennSeto: Well, technically a post credit scene, but nothing directly related to the main cast.
EvilBadman: I'm a reaper pogo sicko, which makes those mobs easier
TehAmelie: woo
TXC2: the GOAT
Crad0k: they don't even do contact damage
Thefluffiestguineapig: So as a reaper person as well I’m sure it could make it a little easier but also it’s just more difficult anyways
GlennSeto: Is a certain someone still around?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k What don’t do contact damage?
AugmentingPath: if they were morally pure they wouldn't be full of mana, it's fine
Crad0k: these little bugs that keep running away
Thefluffiestguineapig: No they do contact damage but getting close enough to experience that contact damage is really difficult
TXC2:
way back is MUCH shorter 
Thefluffiestguineapig: I believe anything you can kill in this game can also do contact damage
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@TXC2 GEE I wonder why 
Thefluffiestguineapig: I watched Heather do this live on stream and it looks less fun every time I see someone else do it
GlennSeto: This place was tilting, ngl.
Crad0k: i found this much easier than certain bosses, you all know which ones
Thefluffiestguineapig: I am Not Looking Forward to doing that
GlennSeto: I do like the small music loop, it's very Shaman Village.
Crad0k: like, this i got done in an evening, it's all just about learning the rhythm, some of those bosses took... longer
TXC2: aggressive, adversarial
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k Honestly I probably don’t. I have guesses but probably don’t know
Thefluffiestguineapig:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can we have Heather on more often?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can we do Hollow Knight also with Heather?
TaVSt: technically not spikes!
Spades_Slicc: Is the closest bug a grand reed?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Spades_Slicc Depends if Second Sentinel took them all out or not
TXC2: the only way out is through
Thefluffiestguineapig: Through the afterlife?
Crad0k: you can do the thing from here, right?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also I was told if I took a detour after I had reached Act 2 to fight a different boss that it would turn off all the ventilation stuff and there were sections with ventilation stuff still. I felt profoundly lied to
TXC2: avert thy gaze chat
Thefluffiestguineapig: I watched Heather do her entire play through
TheAinMAP:
Crad0k: @Thefluffiestguineapig it turns off some of it, but there's still a lot around
TXC2: "suspect is mapless, repeat mapless"
JessieImproved: Funny that you would think I remember the map 1/2 second after I see it
Thefluffiestguineapig: I was promised all of it and I felt lied to and just got a rad boss fight
Cyberegg: fast travel ddoes work here you just need to be on actual ground
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 And….running face first into spikes and pharlids?
constablecrab subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 74 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, constablecrab! (Today's storm count: 11)
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig and steam!
GlennSeto: Can't she summon the babies?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 which is what prompted my hopefully sufficiently obscured comments above
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto Not here
Crad0k: she's very different here than she was in hollow knight too, a bit more at ease
TXC2: gassed up, stanced even
GlennSeto: Does Kusanagi still have a human brain?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I would argue this Hornet is profoundly stanced up
TXC2: GlennSeto I think so, yes
TXC2: Hello Beej
TXC2: bye Beej
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, who's game is this and why are they on Hunter crest?? That's insanity, wait it's Heather never mind the skills are so high
Thefluffiestguineapig: RIGHT these
TXC2: very dream nail like
Thefluffiestguineapig: Mostly personality some lore
GlennSeto: Like, the Major obviously goes fully digital in the movies.
Crad0k: i think it's a bit bad that it takes so much silk to see all of this, but i'm guessing that's a gameplay thing so it's not too easy to stun stuff too easily
EvilBadman: there's yer probelm, yer full of [redacted]
TXC2: reminds me of the power in Psychonaughts where you could see yourself through other people's eyes
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Hi @LoadingReadyRun Cam, Cori, Heather. What's new in bugland?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k There's also a specific set of things you can equip that improve the Needolin
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!)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @thedepthandbreadthofseth They are making a brief detour to Act 3
EvilBadman: get equipped with GUN
Spades_Slicc: If you want needolin dialogue there's a yellow tool for that
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman MONEY GUN
SquareDotCube: Young Gund
SquareDotCube: Guns
GlennSeto: Sounds like Evil Dead
Crad0k: alice does it in resident evil 4
TXC2:
it's a gun, and it's ammo is the awesome power of Catholic prayer 
Thefluffiestguineapig: Which Silk Shot do you have Heather
TXC2: good old Coin shot from Fallout New Vegas
Thefluffiestguineapig: You're not wrong
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh cogwork wheel is rag
Thefluffiestguineapig: *rad
GlennSeto: I could totally see a 40k preacher loading an ornate shotgun with throne geld.
EvilBadman: it's the hornet trap from Hollow Knight
Crad0k: @Thefluffiestguineapig oh, yeah, but that's more of a late-game, exploring at full strength thing, and there's lots of stuff that's gone by then
Thefluffiestguineapig: One of my favorite things I've done with Cogwork Wheel is just unleash it through an entire mob
EvilBadman: R3
Crad0k: poshanka!
Spades_Slicc: Can we get a poshanka?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k The yellow tool someone mentioned is not a big late game thing
Thefluffiestguineapig: So if you're doing a lore run you can use it
Thefluffiestguineapig: YES
Thefluffiestguineapig: You can do the clap!
Spades_Slicc: You can see that there is a taunt on the keyboard control map
Thefluffiestguineapig: The others use the needle, that one is special
Crad0k: that's the only unique taunt
GlennSeto: Garama!
EvilBadman: i think the ring taunt doesn't use silk either
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman Correct
Cyberegg: beast cresat gives a different taunt delivery
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yes, yes it is
EvilBadman:
You should OD 
GlennSeto: Show them the OD effect!
Thefluffiestguineapig: WELP that's a whole thing
Thefluffiestguineapig: AWOOOOO
Spades_Slicc: You need to be near enemies
EvilBadman: need foes iirc
Crad0k: Awooooo!
GlennSeto: The flea brew gets free refills when you get them all.
Thefluffiestguineapig: For sure, and some of these are an absolute pain in the ass to get
TXC2: so creepy
Spades_Slicc: Can you dance with the scuttle?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Reserve bind is hidden behind a boss IIRC. One I'm stuck on. Also you need to have a seperate button combo for that
Thefluffiestguineapig: NOPE
Thefluffiestguineapig: Police would just give up at that point
EvilBadman: It's bloodborne, yeah
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh yeah, I got arrested by accident
Spades_Slicc: Yeah, I killed the bug cops and never got arrested. Took forever to break into jail
BrowneePointz: ye they’re like the snatchers for the Hypogean Gaol
Thefluffiestguineapig: That sucks Cori
GlennSeto: This is to Bloodborne what Hollow Knight was to Dark Souls.
Thefluffiestguineapig: It SUCKS
BrowneePointz: also freezing to death
Thefluffiestguineapig: And if you, for random example, were using Reaper Crest
GlennSeto: Silksong even shares a ton of story themes with Bloodborne.
SquareDotCube: It's not 15... yet...
GlennSeto: Don't you mean Rom?
TXC2: it's only 11 years old!
Crad0k: wait, what game is this? we're still talking about games, i hope...
BrowneePointz: the first brain sucker in the Church ward is your first inclination that something more is going on there
TXC2: Crad0k Bloodborne
TheMerricat: Bloodborne @Crad0k
GlennSeto: Rom does not attack you when you first meet her...
Thefluffiestguineapig: Whiteward is a whole ass thing
Crad0k: ah, i game i will probably never play
BrowneePointz: or the invisible amygdala on the church that can grab you
Thefluffiestguineapig: I figure you can't share save files, but if you need one with the Unraveled to show Cam, I've got one for you
GlennSeto: Okay the audio log for this place is genuinely upsetting.
Invitare: the ethics were bored
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto It's HORRIFIC
Crad0k: oh, i'm sure they kept good records of certain things...
shendaras:
EvilBadman: Ethics? Hahah, I have the power of religion.
Thefluffiestguineapig: The ethics were "you are no longer permitted to die
GlennSeto: C'mon by to Iosevka's clinic and family restaurant!
BrowneePointz: yea I think Cameron would ADORE the narrative in this even more than Hollow a knight’s
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BrowneePointz The narrative in this game is so good
BrowneePointz: I love the joke that HK is Protestant and Silksong is catholic but it’s also not inaccurate
GlennSeto: PLEASE DON'T
Crad0k: FUCKS SAKE CAMERON
EvilBadman: that _sounds_ terrible Cameron
Thefluffiestguineapig: But they guard themselves with their half scissors
Strebenherz: PFFFFFT
Thefluffiestguineapig: CAMERON
Strebenherz: Yes, needle the hole
BrowneePointz: a whole new meaning to sounding the guard Cameron
Thefluffiestguineapig: In the lore I think the Morticians are multiple creatures basically stitched/melded together?
SaxPython:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or 40
Thefluffiestguineapig: Do you have all the mask shards and silk spools
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, you have the platforming tutorial followed by the combat tutorial
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig Heather said she did
Spades_Slicc: DS2 is the best game
GlennSeto: Hey, that's a better deal than the toilets in Fear & Hunger.
Wolfstrike_NL: So Cameron, did you spot Sherma being alive or the lack of a sign thereoff?
EvilBadman: Elden ring has the benefit of open world where you can just go somewhere else, the downside of that is the world is fucking huge
Crad0k: IT'S *ahem* it's a very good game, but i think there are difficulty curve issues in places
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 I think I wasn't here for that, I got here about 30 minutes in from diagnostic tests
Crad0k: no, no sherma hints
Thefluffiestguineapig: No Sherma spoilers
TXC2: !addquote (Cori) [now] If you know how a dog do, you can do that dog.
LRRbot: New quote #9528: "If you know how a dog do, you can do that dog." —Cori [2026-02-19]
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!
Thefluffiestguineapig: We need some Cam home streams for experiencing Sherma's story
GlennSeto: Anyone try to cheer Sherma up with the Needolin after that one moment?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto Yes and it was EVEN MORE GRIM
TXC2: right chat I'm off
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sleep well TXC2!
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Cori, Heather and Cameron
GlennSeto: @Thefluffiestguineapig I did that and felt personally attacked by Team Cherry.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto They knew people would want to make themselves feel better and said NO you will SIT IN THESE FEELINGS
Thefluffiestguineapig: Which honestly I respect them a lot for
TheAinMAP: Hello.
Thefluffiestguineapig: You definitely defeated Lace forever
GlennSeto: @thefluffiestguineapig Yes, truthfully I love how they reward roleplaying with more immersion.
Spades_Slicc: Acquire silk through violence
GlennSeto: Silk on benches was a soul-mergey thing, right?
Spades_Slicc: Well you have 1/4 the movement tech Heather had
GlennSeto: More hang time than the 90s Bulls.
couchboyj: Sniped
GlennSeto: So pet theory: The Pale King supposedly had prescient vision and both the Knight and Hornet always wake with a start on the benches after dying.
GlennSeto: I know you still gotta collect your shit in either game, but I wonder if there's something there, story-wise.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also this is the way we are going huh?
EvilBadman: Zone?
Strebenherz: you're fine cam, it me, i eat the spikes
EvilBadman: no, watching people learn combat is interesting
Cptasparagus: I think thats edging
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh I eat the spikes constantly
couchboyj: Those of us who have played the game are quite understanding of your plight, I assure you
Thefluffiestguineapig: And no one is ever watching me
GlennSeto: Nah, the ant tribe is easily the toughest bunch in the first half of act 1.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto Do you mean mob wise?
Crad0k: you're learning, it's fine, and this part of the game is Not Forgiving
GlennSeto: Yeah, individually and by way of mob combos, these little red dudes mean business.
EvilBadman: Like seeing heather use a build and crest I barely engaged with is fascinating
GlennSeto: I wanna replay this and try to avoid Wanderer, since I mainlined that one HARD.
couchboyj: I needed the easy wide sweep of the Reaper crest pogo for combat to really click for me. I had a rough time with Hunter crest
Cptasparagus: you bullied that short
GlennSeto: They're like Always Sunny de Vito. Fuck'em up!
Spades_Slicc: I mean Hornet is multiple orders of magnitude older than the ants soooooooooo yeah basically children
Crad0k: @couchboyj yeah, once i got reaper, that was it until late game for me
Thefluffiestguineapig: Reaper might be a good choice for people wanting to try a crest other than Wanderer
GlennSeto: Yes, Reaper was big for me too until Wanderer.
EvilBadman: It's not blood, it's victory wine
GlennSeto: Beast and Architect entice me, diagonal pogo notwithstanding.
Spades_Slicc: I see Cameron has discovered Silksong's "big shield + hold L1"
Crad0k: i did the climb that heather just did with architect, it was... interesting
GlennSeto: Did anything uniquely Architect help with the ascend?
Cptasparagus: big donut
Crad0k: poshanka!
Crad0k: @GlennSeto infinite health
Spades_Slicc: the taunt costs heal juice btw
GlennSeto: @crad0k Blue overdose?
GlennSeto: Chat, be cool when Hornet gets naked!
Crad0k: poshanka!
Cptasparagus: just jumping down whole hog
EvilBadman: pop that zit
couchboyj: Bombs are interesting things, no?
Crad0k: @GlennSeto yeah; i had got pretty far several times and just got weary of it, so went for the learning how to do it differently but without the refactory
GlennSeto: Might also be a greeting among her people. Like "How are you today?" "Ready to fight!" "Awesome, have a good one!"
Cptasparagus: oh damn
Spades_Slicc: you can start a sprint midair btw
Cptasparagus: the dead dont need clothes
GlennSeto: Don't you mean Hornet's age?
EvilBadman: driving instructor vibes
Crad0k: yeah, hornet's older than most of the beings here
GlennSeto: @cptasparagus You have never been in a room full of naked corpses, I take it?
BusTed: getting ready to mash on the passenger side brake pedal
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto What species?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k I won't get into lore debates here since we aren't spoiling for Cam but if they have a Skong spoilers chat in the LRRscord I'm happy to yap there and share video essays!
EvilBadman: think there's one in #videogames
Mr_Horrible: "Stop having it be closed"
Wolfstrike_NL: we need sherma to help open the gate
GlennSeto: @thefluffiestguineapig The kind that frequently wears clothes.
GlennSeto: @wolfstrike_nl Technically we just need faith.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto That doesn't exclude things like miniature poodles or certain deeply upset cats. I work in veterinary medicine
Wolfstrike_NL: @GlennSeto and patience?
EvilBadman: We have displayed a loop
Spades_Slicc: You've demonstrated a loop and the game must now concede
TheAinMAP:
Mr_Horrible: vague concern about what's leaving these spines and rib cages behind, if everything is bugs
GlennSeto: @thefluffiestguineapig I am so sorry. (For the "room full of sadness" aspect).
Thefluffiestguineapig: If anyone claims they haven't lost a mask to spikes in this game I call profound BS
Mr_Horrible: Big Tony's over here
Mr_Horrible: I had to fight so hard for my rosaries in Blasphemous 2, and here they're just giving them away
Crad0k subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 123 months, currently on a 123 month streak!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Crad0k! (Today's storm count: 12)
GlennSeto: Does the Mea Culpa DLC warrant a replay?
Cptasparagus: good credit score means you're a good target for stable debt
Mr_Horrible: @GlennSeto it just slots into a playthrough, so you can do it on a file that's already done everything else. Pretty cheap rn, and decent fun with some cool new platforming stuff.
Spades_Slicc: "Bench" it's clearly a pincushion
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Cptasparagus No, because you can have a marginal credit score for not having sufficient debt earlier in your life
Thefluffiestguineapig: You have to have had enough of the correct kind of debt but managed it correctly
GlennSeto: @mr_horrible That's good advice, thanks!
Spades_Slicc: "Helpless" they evolved projectile spines
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Spades_Slicc If the first spines don't work, different angle for next spines
GlennSeto: Still don't know how to feel about bear asses mechanics in a Metroidvania.
Mr_Horrible: eh, plenty of them have them
Thefluffiestguineapig: @GlennSeto I don't mind it in this case
Mr_Horrible: especially one *this* localized
Spades_Slicc: Bear asses?
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is incredibly localized and has a HUGE PAYOFF
EvilBadman: @Spades_Slicc Joke about MMROPG fetch quests that's expanded to all genre
GlennSeto: @spades_slicc It's a MMO/WoW thing, like collect x of y to finish quest.
Mr_Horrible: @Spades_Slicc colloquialism for "go and get me 10 of <buh>" quests that do nothing but pad time. Usually lampshaded due to their prevalence in early MMO stuff.
Mr_Horrible: it also tells you to go do this loop and find the bone-breaking shortcut
Mr_Horrible: if you hadn't already
NotAFireDemon: It helps that Hornet is a hunter and crafter as part of her story
GlennSeto: That@notafiredemon That's very true.
Mr_Horrible: I am, and will remain, of the opinion that Silksong is actually one of the better examples of good signposting and implicit player guidance in recent years
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Mr_Horrible Big agree here
Mr_Horrible: no Yellow Paint here, to borrow another colloquialism
silverstar216: some of the quests, lore wise, are also "the npcs will have a measurably better time after you do this quest" i.e. the cloak gathering one. as opposed to like. what npc needs 20 bear asses. what possible reason, etc
EvilBadman: It did take a me a couple moments to realize what she wanted
Thefluffiestguineapig: You can figure things out in a number of ways but the game implies things through good environment design and enemy design
GlennSeto: Again chat, don't be weird now.
Micalovits: Lol, chat not be weird?
Mr_Horrible: @EvilBadman I liked that because there's enough extraneous enemies, you're very likely to hit the spines incidentally, so you'll collect them, realize you didn't see where, and pay more attention
BrowneePointz: Spiders(Nerubians)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Literally Spider asses
BrowneePointz: Yea Classic and BC drops are why the Bear Asses meme exists lol
EvilBadman: @Mr_Horrible Exactly
Mr_Horrible: "oh hell, my livery"
Crad0k: it was a trinket, which is worse
BrowneePointz: Yea...Blizzard in the Vanilla and BC days was....still figuring things out
Crad0k: Argent Dawn Commission
BrowneePointz: and boy I don't miss old school collect quests
Getter404: Utility cooldowns like a damage spike or debuff purge
Thefluffiestguineapig: The logic all follows
Thefluffiestguineapig: "Oh it's spine CORES" I get it now
BrowneePointz: Haha yea and some of that comes from them cribbing stuff from Ye Olde Everquest
Mr_Horrible: me collecting more aethersand to make more popcorn
EvilBadman: The skinnerest of skinner boxes
Crad0k: i killed ten thousand pirates to get a purple parrot...
niccus: puzzle pirates...
Crad0k: but if you'd given me a quest to kill ten thousand pirates for a purple parrot i'd have told you to fuck off... stupid monkey brain
Mr_Horrible: and now Cameron can bear witness to the greatest character sprite of 2025
GlennSeto: She looks so exquisitely dopey

Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh wait, I think I know what Cam is about to find
Thefluffiestguineapig: Either he's about to find what I think he is or spend a lot of time making friends with spikes
GlennSeto: Yeah, a good time.
BrowneePointz:
@Thefluffiestguineapig 
ShaneLeeAtk: What?
Juliamon: hello
Getter404: Hello!
BrowneePointz: the mic be hot lol
ShaneLeeAtk: Hi
gualdhar: I can't hear anything
gualdhar: (obviously lying)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BrowneePointz Am I wrong??
LoadingReadyRun:
I was trying to maneuver the mic arm out of my way and noticed the levels 
GlennSeto: I should rewatch Road Quest sometime.
TheAinMAP:
Mr_Horrible: *FOOMP*
Thefluffiestguineapig: The spike comment had nothing to do with Cam's gaming skill and everything to do with the amount of time I personally spent making friends with spikes with my face in this section
BrowneePointz: @Thefluffiestguineapig that was more my no spoilies response lol
BrowneePointz: I wonder if arachnids can get vertigo
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BrowneePointz Me? Spoiling that there are spikes in the game of Silksong? Shocking!
Mr_Horrible: the slow front-flip animation, ce magnifique
Thefluffiestguineapig: How would you input that into quotes?
EvilBadman: You don't have the needle throw Heather did
Spades_Slicc: You can't throw your needle like heather
Thefluffiestguineapig: "If I fwoomp out again"
Thefluffiestguineapig: Here we go!
Cptasparagus: get in the mech, Hornet
TheAinMAP:
Thefluffiestguineapig: I winced so hard
BrowneePointz: And at the reveal of "The Fourth Chorus" I immediately understood the themes this game would be tackling
Mr_Horrible: I do enjoy that she's just oblivious
GlennSeto: Get in the Chorus, Cameron or Hornet has to do it.
Thefluffiestguineapig: And now THE BOSS IS GONE
EvilBadman:
"didn't use that new cloak, eh?"
Mr_Horrible: again, Australians are trying to harm you
BrowneePointz: Also this boss made me appreciate how damn good their animations improved
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman Yeah, that thing I immediately forgot about when that GIANT ROBOT CAME TO LIFE AND TRIED TO PANCAKE ME?
Crad0k:
Mr_Horrible: remembering that you can both heal in the air and that it's an air stall would've saved me so much grief in parts of this game
EvilBadman: @Mr_Horrible Aerial acrobatics make this game feel so much better when you embrace them
Thefluffiestguineapig: I deliberately-what?
EvilBadman: Compared to HK
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman Or when you remember to do them
Mr_Horrible: @EvilBadman a few choice gauntlets where I modulated my loadout to survive with 1 full bar's worth of health, and then afterwards remembered "...oh, right"
couchboyj:
niccus: every boss makes some people quit permanently
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman I get that impression. I never played that game and started with this one and don't want to go back because it seems so much more restrictive than that one
RatherLargeToad: “first” encounter?
LoadingReadyRun: !cardview off
LRRbot: Card viewer disabled
GlennSeto: I genuinely feel bad about beating Ludwig after only ever fighting him for half an hour of attempts.
EvilBadman: @Thefluffiestguineapig less restrictive and more deliberate? Like you can do air stuff in HK, but this one really embraces it
Spades_Slicc: "You aren't supposed to beat the boss first try" except for Ludwig Bloodborne DLC of course
CaptainSpam: As a wise man once said, "Pain don't hurt".
GlennSeto: Look, Doug Bradley read the fuck out of those lines.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman When people told me you couldn't heal in the air I said "well that would make so many things so much harder"
BrowneePointz: I do like that after the release of Bone Temple, the 28 franchise is now that Horse Drawing meme and Weeks is the odd one out
GlennSeto: Midian rules
Crad0k: yeah, getting used to the healing in this game is a big part of getting better at it
Thefluffiestguineapig: Well you've been consistently getting to phase 2
TehAmelie: i just noticed that red stuff all over their butt and legs and i'm worried
BrowneePointz: I can see! I can FIGHT!
BrowneePointz: cuz Team Cherry mean(affectionate)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Because the robot is the size of god
GlennSeto: The lava does two for sure.
consolecowboy88: I hate evert silksong I see from silk song A to Silksong ZZ
GlennSeto: Dr Zaeus Dr Zaeus
RatherLargeToad: Dr Zeyus?
couchboyj: Cat? I'm a kitty cat, and I dance dance danec
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can he heal?
Crad0k: yeah, lava does 2, and you can get hit by the boss for damage and land in the lava for more damage, so your health can vanish quicker than you're expecting
BrowneePointz: in a funny way, Amadeus, the name, and Amadeus, as in the works of Mozart, are both fitting for this game
RatherLargeToad: in this game, health is a suggestion
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RatherLargeToad No, it really isn't
Thefluffiestguineapig: What vendors does Cam have?
GlennSeto: Did Mozart compose Dies Irae?
BrowneePointz: the dies irae predates mozart
RatherLargeToad: @thefluffiestguineapig a suggestion in that it’s not really there
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RatherLargeToad Ah, yes I agree there
GlennSeto: @browneepointz Yeah that's what I thought too.
BrowneePointz: Thomas of Celano wrote it in the 1200s
BrowneePointz: Mozart lived in the late 1700s
TehAmelie: oh, the lava balls only do 1
CaptainSpam: Here comes the rain again. Falling on my head like MAGMA.
Getter404: Bold strategy.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Magma Bell
Mr_Horrible:
"yes" 
Thefluffiestguineapig: He would need to have met Forge Daughter to have it
Crad0k: he... might have met forge daughter, but he might not have had the means to buy it
Mr_Horrible: the damn exploration is so enthralling you'll frequently get sidetracked from a thing you thought to do
BrowneePointz: "i'm full of silk" me after chugging soy milk
GlennSeto: This game already used the fuck out of Dies Irae and then I turn around and the final boss music in the Elden Ring DLC does it too.
Spades_Slicc: I don't believe they've met FD
Mr_Horrible: this bot's got combos
Crad0k: OH BOY
BrowneePointz: the main theme on the menu does
Mr_Horrible: you can ask that question a lot in this game
BrowneePointz: and EVERY one of those bell benches?
BrowneePointz: plays dies irae
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yup
Thefluffiestguineapig: it's a variation on it
TehAmelie: i guess that's what the boss is the fourth chorus of
Strebenherz: !findquote r2
LRRbot: Could not find any matching quotes.
GlennSeto: Basically two thirds of the tracks in the games use it in some waym
Crad0k: inhale, count to four, exhale, count to four
Thefluffiestguineapig: Cam and Adam Savidan come from the same school of suffering
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@Crad0k And go back into the boss arena 
niccus: what's in cameron rolls
Thefluffiestguineapig: Has Cam found any Mask Shards or spool fragments yet either?
TehAmelie: fortunately her face is armored
Thefluffiestguineapig: He's been very MSQ focused
Crad0k: by mass, she's like 75% face
Thefluffiestguineapig: Currently trying to make sure they stay innards
TehAmelie: feel like a second stun is gonna have to come soon
TehAmelie: oops
GlennSeto: Funny story...
BrowneePointz: yea when you're done with stream go back to the menu/file select and crank the audio. The Main Silksong Theme is Dies Irae in a descending melodic line on Harp. (and whenever you open those gates or unlock benches it also plays it) @LoadingReadyRun
Getter404: Progress!
Spades_Slicc: They have no health bar and you must die
Thefluffiestguineapig: This boss you feel like you're doing nothing till you get a stun
couchboyj: Adam got so deep into this game without weapon upgrades
Spades_Slicc: You could play like Adam and beat the game without upgrades
Thefluffiestguineapig: Adam got one ending of this game without any weapon upgrades
BrowneePointz: this game layers out those upgrades way farther out than Hollow Knight
GlennSeto: Your damage is appropriate for your place in the game.
TehAmelie: i played for long enough that i was sure there was no damage upgrades
Crad0k: 25
Thefluffiestguineapig: 27
Crad0k: unlucky there
BrowneePointz: I do not remember stagger values in this other than they are not linear iirc
RatherLargeToad: more and more I’m becoming a fan of the “do the thing three times and you win” school of boss design. after a certain point with these it’s less about execution and more about endurance
GlennSeto: honestly very clean attempt
GlennSeto: many roads lead into The Zone
Thefluffiestguineapig: 16
TehAmelie: ah, i wish i could do the counting without getting trapped in a rhythm
Thefluffiestguineapig: You can't do the large gap from one end to the other on a normal jump
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie I can't do the counting, I need to just observe
Mr_Horrible: because the heart wants what it wants, Cameron
Thefluffiestguineapig: You skid when dashing
Thefluffiestguineapig: You don't stop on a dime when sprinting
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ask me why I know this and why it involves the lava and Lace
Crad0k: it's not the *worst* thing to heal when you'll get fewer than 3 back, but it does work better when you've got more silk spools
TehAmelie: huh, i beat em without ever noticing those vents
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k So as someone that is not good at gaming, I find defensive healing to be helpful. This is a personal thing because if I don't heal opportunistically I will absolutely 1000000% not get the chance again
Thefluffiestguineapig: I generally go for "two or more" masks
BrowneePointz: insta kill
BrowneePointz: not just massive
Getter404: We take those
BrowneePointz: btw
Crad0k: woop woop!
ghizmou: gg
TehAmelie: cool finish
Thefluffiestguineapig: I chatted with someone who said the difference between stage 2 and 3 was supposed to be that the ground stays gone longer. I apparently had just gotten the shit luck of "all ground but tiny bit smashed since phase 2" over and over
realbadatthis_:
BrowneePointz: but yea it's optional
BrowneePointz: if you notice it, hey free kill
GlennSeto: You House of Usher'd his ass.
Spades_Slicc: You don't need to use the insta kill if ur a reel gamr
BrowneePointz: if you don't, totally killable normally
Cptasparagus: you collected 1 chorus ass
Mr_Horrible: dark souls text "ASS RESTORED"
Crad0k: also, this boss? you can just run past it (ish)
BrowneePointz: it's like planking
BrowneePointz: but you draw on the plank
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Mr_Horrible That's a very good mod right there
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k You can go around it
Mr_Horrible: Hornet doing irreversible ecological alterations
Thefluffiestguineapig: You don't have to have a save point
BrowneePointz: ope there it is
BrowneePointz: the background music playing dies irae
Crad0k: wrath
Denis_Dobrolubov: Of wrath?
BrowneePointz: originally penned by Thomas of Celano in the 1200s
Mushbie: Day of wrath
Thefluffiestguineapig: Day of Anger/Wrath
BrowneePointz: used to invoke Divine Doom
BrowneePointz: evoke*
Crad0k: it's also... well, cam got there first
BrowneePointz: not invoke*
Getter404: Ah yes, from the siege of the Saturnine Wall
Mr_Horrible:
I always knew Mozart was a fuckin' nerd
Crad0k: it shows up in horus rising, i think?
Thefluffiestguineapig: What have we bought from Pibb
BrowneePointz: and if you're not a giant mega music nerd who had to take collegiate courses, Dies Irae is quite possibly the most referenced music motif in Western Music history
Mr_Horrible: rosary necklace
Spades_Slicc: Oh btw chat, I only this week realized that riding the Bellbeast to bone bottom has an effect on the bug down there greater than scaring them
Mr_Horrible: "Soul of a Medium-Sized Hero"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Spades_Slicc It makes them go away right? Is it beyond that
niccus: rosary coinstar
BrowneePointz: vacu suck da money
TehAmelie: "Soul of a hero who tried hard"
Getter404: Reading the item explains the item.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Putting them on a string always has a price, whether it be a machine or the merchant
Crad0k: gather is nice to have, especially with the rolly rosaries
Mr_Horrible: "I stuck a lodestone around my neck and now all these throwing darts don't work"
Camail: bold of them to assume we can read
Thefluffiestguineapig: Reading the item explains the item
Mr_Horrible: that is a BIG ASK from Gamers
Micalovits: Sadly, most gamers are not litterate
Bruceski: reading the trinket explains the trinket
Mr_Horrible: as the years have taught us
Thefluffiestguineapig: Craftmetal is worth it
BrowneePointz: Our wife!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also Forge Daughter wants it
Crad0k: Poshanka!
Mr_Horrible: those mean Sonic was here
BrowneePointz: (if you miss Shakra she appears here)
Mr_Horrible: the Wife Bell
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Mr_Horrible One of two possible wives
Mr_Horrible:
Thefluffiestguineapig: You do need to find Shakra in the area first for her to have the items available in a safe area
Mr_Horrible: "I hope he's okay" a thing you can say about 90% of NPCs in Team Cherry games
EvilBadman: Sherma still worshipping the gate?
BrowneePointz: My favorite thing about this game, is there's a line Hornet gives that tells us 1. She canonically fucks. and 2. She doesn't do it much cuz she gets sad she outlives all her partners
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BrowneePointz The level of art in that writing is top tier
Thefluffiestguineapig: When I found that dialogue I was in actual awe
Mr_Horrible: mask frag was 300
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can I see the Deep Docks map?
BrowneePointz: Ride the Lightning
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok, that answers chat's questions
BrowneePointz: one of the few albums I have on Vinyl(look i'm just a beginning collector)
Thefluffiestguineapig: And I will shut up
BrowneePointz: hey hey, she's a Princess, she was raised right!
Mr_Horrible: she's girliepop
Thefluffiestguineapig: You couldn't ride Bell Beast any other way
Thefluffiestguineapig: Bell Beast is too wide
Spades_Slicc: Bellbeast is thicc
Thefluffiestguineapig: As someone who rides horses, you couldn't ride astride
Juliamon: she'd split her carapace trying
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Precisely
Mr_Horrible: he couldn't answer you even if he did
BrowneePointz: EXPERIENCE
Thefluffiestguineapig: YES
Micalovits: Baited and Outsmarted
Mr_Horrible: "Local dumbass bug gets got"
Getter404: Because someone didn't buy a magnet
Thefluffiestguineapig: I am also one who adores using the environment to kill enemies
Mr_Horrible: glorious
consolecowboy88: Pilgrim friend? Is this John wayne?
BrowneePointz: listening to beastie boys as we go on a journey. call that License to ilgrim
Mr_Horrible: "I shall cure your headache... WITH SONG"
TehAmelie: strictly better Siegmeyer here
Mr_Horrible: "I remember... 7 years of shitposts..."
Thefluffiestguineapig: So fun fact, there is a way to not need to pay to come in here every time
Strebenherz: Sherma is perfect
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh no, I just realized something
Mr_Horrible: the curse of "Being a good sport by virtue of unable to move"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz I adore him so much
BrowneePointz: that lady had too much Root Beer and Chili Dogs. her Tummy hurded
Spades_Slicc: It might not be a headache
Mr_Horrible: shermaDink
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Spades_Slicc That's the thing I just realized
Mr_Horrible: legitimately something, alright
Spades_Slicc: You can actually race Sherma here and talk to that bug before he shows up
Thefluffiestguineapig: The global flea and sherma emotes from that one browser extension have been cycled out and I'm SO SAD
EvilBadman: modest mouse
Mr_Horrible: in this, we are all Cameron
Thefluffiestguineapig: Trust me, I did that for so long too Cameron
BrowneePointz: Welcome to Graphical Flex the Zone
Juliamon:
BrowneePointz: the artist went fucking HAM here
EvilBadman: True dark souls progression is marked by when you don;t care enough to kill trash mobs
Thefluffiestguineapig:
?
TehAmelie: um did we Mario through the roof there?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman See but it's more Cameron is correctly deeply afraid of them
Mr_Horrible: one of those areas where I have to remind myself you are still in a cave
EvilBadman: @Thefluffiestguineapig part of progress
Mr_Horrible:
WIFE 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Mr_Horrible For me once you learn about why it's always raining here it get so much more grim
Mr_Horrible: "I'm MLG, Shakra"
Spades_Slicc: Caw Craw!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Let's go find 30 more rosaries
TehAmelie: don't think we can even go back now
Thefluffiestguineapig: Caw Caw!
BrowneePointz: whoever did these grackles did a good job
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh yeah, this whole group is fantastic
Mr_Horrible: I like that even the dichotomy of who drops beads and who doesn't teaches you about the world
Thefluffiestguineapig: BAITED
BrowneePointz: reminder chat. Ravens are far larger than you think
Mr_Horrible: "PUTEMUP"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BrowneePointz Most corvids are way bigger than people think
Spades_Slicc: This water is fine
Thefluffiestguineapig: Not all water is fine. This water is
BrowneePointz: I mean crows are about as big as you think they are
BrowneePointz: Ravens are fuckin huge
TehAmelie: they got a needle like us, and also can fly :x
Mr_Horrible: Hornet didn't check the hitboxes on dustloop
Thefluffiestguineapig: These guys can strike you from a lot of places you will get very angry about
BrowneePointz: I find it funny we called it "The Common raven" when it's the LARGEST CORVID SPECIES!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Open the door
Spades_Slicc: @BrowneePointz large doesn't mean uncommon
Mr_Horrible: their stupid little MYAAA faces
Mr_Horrible: love those guys
TehAmelie: bugs often get killed by mice
Mr_Horrible: Cori has the right of it
silenceaux: local level 1 adventurer dies to singular rat
Thefluffiestguineapig: Those mice are part of a mob that can get fucked
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh I've been killed by those jerks SO MANY TIMES
EvilBadman: Az can attest I died to many dmb things, not least of all: hubris
BrowneePointz: the mouse bug was just prepping you to deal with the pain of getting ranched by Splinter for a month in MTG
Mr_Horrible: @EvilBadman pretty sure I've gotten got by literal everything in this at least once
Thefluffiestguineapig: Tiny little jerk mouse that you think you've got the movement pattern down on so you can get enough silk to heal and they managed to get you
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Mr_Horrible There's a couple of things I haven't been got by in this game because they correctly flee at the sight of Hornet
consolecowboy88: Kiss from a phone on a grave
Thefluffiestguineapig: Those craws have a parry like Lace does
Thefluffiestguineapig: All enemies with a parry in this game make the same "tink" sound effect
Crad0k: garama!
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!)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Please open the gate
EvilBadman: @Thefluffiestguineapig that's more the flurry and cam parrying. Parries (with riposte) are more rare from enemies
Crad0k: yeah, parry windows are much bigger here than in HK
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EvilBadman The riposte is rarer but that boss does have one
Thefluffiestguineapig: That enemy excuse me
00gogo00: just tuned in, is this our first time here
00gogo00: in this building
Crad0k: they're crows, cam, they're collecting the shinies
Thefluffiestguineapig: I adore just how much this is big corvid behavior
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh, we're going straight there are we
Crad0k: no
Crad0k: it's a gauntlet
Mr_Horrible: after a fashion
Thefluffiestguineapig: Not quite
BrowneePointz: another gauntlet
00gogo00: this is our first time here
00gogo00: have fun
TheOtherTrevor: this one took me an annoying number of tries
Spades_Slicc: You opened the door, you're on the floor, time to walk the dinosaur
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm someone where I know how shit I am at games so I'm not annoyed at how many tries it took me
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Spades_Slicc And by that you mean be taken for a walk by the avian dinosaurs
Thefluffiestguineapig: And Cam still has base silk spool and no mask shards
Spades_Slicc: @Thefluffiestguineapig Or Cam could lock in and take these dinos for a walk
00gogo00: aw, so close, that was the last wave
Thefluffiestguineapig: And you only have one red tool, one blue tool
Crad0k: "time is the fire in which we burn"
Spades_Slicc: I mean, there isn't another stream after this
Juliamon: what
Juliamon: yes there is
Thefluffiestguineapig: Cori what does that mean
Spades_Slicc: nothing on the schedule
Juliamon: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Bonus Stream (Heather had taken control of the stream. There is no need to panic.) at Thu 05:00 PM PST (1:13 from now).
Spades_Slicc: ooh interesting
Crad0k: (interestingly, the line before that in the poem is "time is the school in which we learn", always found it interesting that soren doesn't mention that one)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Heather added that to the schedule and I am only slightly afraid
Strebenherz: not at all Cam.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Cam have you considered putting in for a PIF of this? Or doing it on your home stream?
Juliamon: PiF is retired
Thefluffiestguineapig: When your spool is this small you can do it by running back and forward between the craws in that room outside
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Ah, never midn
Thefluffiestguineapig: And because of your current movement abilities you can't leave
Thefluffiestguineapig: If you claim your cocoon
Spades_Slicc: You stood in the big birds spawn point
Spades_Slicc: don't do that
TehAmelie: it was like being on the receiving end of Fat Chocobo
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Spades_Slicc Spawn point changes depending on where Hornet is
Spades_Slicc: @Thefluffiestguineapig not in my experience of that gauntlet
Crad0k: "as always, at least one more"
Micalovits: "Fuck"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Spades_Slicc I did it A LOT and that spawn point isn't fixed
Thefluffiestguineapig: It is one of a couple options but it isn't fixed
Thefluffiestguineapig: "Ohshitohshitohshitohshit"
Crad0k: those guys are the worst
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k The threefold pin ones?
Crad0k: we all do, cam, at some point or another, everyone who has played this game has hated it
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Crad0k For me it was Deep Docks Lace
Thefluffiestguineapig: And probably will be again
Thefluffiestguineapig: I took a detour here to go get a different crest, I won't lie
