TXC2: here we GO!

ArtDecoSunburn: So, the "Talking Simulator" opening animation is a nod to "Myst," right?
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn yes
SymphonySolstice: what's up depiglio
ArtDecoSunburn: Does that make Cori and Cameron Sirrius and Achenar?
TXC2: loot is a corporate mandated mascot if there ever was one

TXC2: !patreon
Smirking_Bear: @txc2 we can always have hope and dreams
TXC2: Smirking_Bear true
Smirking_Bear: Porn store kindergarten teacher ?
MenomeAlice: I'm here AND I paid
TXC2: !store
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Backlog anxiety transcends media. It's why I like my authors dead. Nothing new to come out and surprise me.
TXC2: "my childhood is NDAd"
ladyjessica: I bought the scarf and hat!
ladyjessica: they look good
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn smart
SymphonySolstice: my cousin who's a french teacher used to be a professional body builder and I wonder if/how parents found out
bytecaster: Simply talk to Beej!
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 (New batch of George Elliott manuscripts discovered) "Damnit."
SquareDotCube: Yuvsl
TXC2:
SymphonySolstice him being wider then most houses like most Pro bodybuilders would be the main giveaway 
MenomeAlice: If you're just feeling lonely, Talk To Beej
accountmadeforants:
I mean .net and .org never meant a country. Though yeah .tv is an odd one 
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Hi @LoadingReadyRun ! Are we finally indulging Cam's ambitions?
bytecaster: Now we have stuff like .online and .shop, like savages
couchboyj: None of the original TLDs were country specific, though US was implied for gov and mil
SquareDotCube: Tuvalu, goes well with Vindaloo
ArtDecoSunburn: @SymphonySolstice I presume he just picked up the students and stacked them in their cubbies.
TXC2: Beej IS a sys-admin.....
SymphonySolstice: @TXC2 should've specified *female cousin
TXC2: SymphonySolstice ah, my bad
niccus: a true test of wits, good luck
thedepthandbreadthofseth: I know there's still on for... Czechoslovakia? Yugoslavia? that's broadly available.
Smirking_Bear: Imperial communism ?
ladyjessica: it looks like it doesn’t it…
Gekyouryuu: To my knowledge, this is about empress Wu Xetian?
ArtDecoSunburn: That was kind of the point of the Cultural Revolution. Erase the "falsehoods" of the past.
mikia55: SOUP!
accountmadeforants:
@bytecaster I still can't wait for TLDs to become as easily available as regular domains, to really show all those naively implemented e-mail regexes what's what 
kingandcommoner: @Smirking_Bear You will share resources or we'll make you.
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @Smirking_Bear Our Emperor, comrade!
MTigress: hellos talky friembs
CustardNuts: Ohh I like this game
ladyjessica: is the latest country code turned symbol
niccus: unfortunately this is about the before-being-empress part
bytecaster: Are we getting an empress high score?
TXC2: hello MTigress welcome
TheMerricat: Leaderboards are for WINNERS cori. WINNERS.
bytecaster: Reading the game explains the game
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth I always liked that in the lore of "Crimson Skies," one title was "Comrade Reverend" for the Christian Communists of the Midwest .
TheMerricat:
Mao Mao! MAO MAO 
yunapaluza: You can pause and rewind if you miss some subtitles
accountmadeforants: Oh dang we've already found the road? Short game
Smirking_Bear: You can do that in China? Claim your identity ?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Smirking_Bear As long as you don't lose face?
kingandcommoner: So these two are gonna be mortal enemies, right?
thedepthandbreadthofseth watched 3 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
dang it... I'm leaving streaks.
SymphonySolstice: le gasp
TXC2: are we all getting the screen tearing ?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @ArtDecoSunburn that just makes sense.
BusTed: good pup
accountmadeforants: Ah I see what they're guarding
SymphonySolstice: yeah a bit of tearing
kingandcommoner: Welp
Smirking_Bear: Tiny dog is the real main character
bytecaster: I feel like Apothecary Diaries has well prepared me for this, when do we get to taste some poison?
TheMerricat:
@bytecaster 
ladyjessica: deep breath in G..
Dog_of_Myth: @bytecaster About that....
accountmadeforants:
@bytecaster I suspect the poison tasting won't turn out as well here, but we can hope 
TXC2:
so I assume this woman older, but damned if I can tell the difference 
ArtDecoSunburn: @Smirking_Bear That dog undoubtedly has a rich inner life and hidden kung fu skills.
bytecaster: @accountmadeforants I guess Maomao is definitely built different
BusTed:

Vinewood_OG: Open revolt
MTigress: lol
bytecaster: "Your outfit sucks lady"
accountmadeforants:

Dog_of_Myth:

Smirking_Bear: Lmao
BusTed: Funny responses only
TheMerricat:
You can only die once. Until you reload. 
TXC2: "you got wack drip!"
accountmadeforants: The music suddenly cutting out suggests we're in for some shit
SymphonySolstice: LOL
kingandcommoner: Wooph
bytecaster: We are dead
accountmadeforants: Oh ha ha ha, die
BusTed:

BusTed: Turns out there's lots of bad choices
Vinewood_OG:
Well that was quick. 
Earthenone: bad end
thavleifrim: this game is mostly bad choices
MTigress: hahahaha
richard_ermen: Lucky, got here in time.
kingandcommoner: believe it or not, Jail
TXC2: COOL GAME!
richard_ermen: I have been told this is going to be insane.
lightfut: Endless days of despair, you say?
LidofLoathing: that was a quick.... death?
MTigress: omg
Dog_of_Myth:

Smirking_Bear: Lmao that took a left turn real quick
couchboyj: It was a good choice for content
ladyjessica: fastest death
chaos5896: SPEED RUN!!!
TheMerricat: What does Listen do?

foxwithaknife: oh it's one of /those/ games
accountmadeforants: I'm glad
kingandcommoner: 0/995
BusTed: I applaud the curiosity
raulghoulia: did we turn on the lightbulb and die in Disco Elysium?
maclaglen: @chaos5896 Despair speed run!!
Smirking_Bear: Cam led you to your speechlessness and exile
Vinewood_OG: Stood on business.
yunapaluza: Listen shows others' opinions on your death
TXC2: Cameron did Science, as is his wont in life
bytecaster: I love mr bucket
ArtDecoSunburn: Tips: "Don't get your tongue cut out by being uppity."
LithelyUnshod: Yeah, lotsa proper nouns in this one
MenomeAlice: I remember Mr Head, he was in Toy Story
NoxStryx: Wasnt it cameron that did during the text prolog of torment: Tides of Numenera?
accountmadeforants: It doesn't help that we started with like 24 women all dressed the same
NoxStryx: *died
EvilBadman: Tip: Actions have consquences
bytecaster: Tip: Don't start with an insult
Smirking_Bear: Will morale increase this time around ? Or will we lose out tongue again ?
richard_ermen: What the....we have a Detroi: Become Human Style Roadmap of Stories??
accountmadeforants: Oh that's very good
bytecaster: Just tell her she looks bad again!
kingandcommoner: Anyone else notice the name of the arc?
thavleifrim: you too are far too nice for this game
thavleifrim: two*
TXC2: BETRAYAL!
bytecaster: We are loosing our tongue again
accountmadeforants: Lmao
kingandcommoner: So I was right about them being arch enemies
SymphonySolstice: bruh
richard_ermen: Wow, we're literally putting daggers in her back.
LidofLoathing: so, not a friendly family memember
richard_ermen: Again, no one loves the traitor.
LidofLoathing: what
BusTed: ow
Barb4rian: Dammmmn
SymphonySolstice: that escalated quickly
Strebenherz: I see I came in at a bad time
accountmadeforants: So what we've learned is that everybody sucks
LithelyUnshod: @Strebenherz Won't be the last
Smirking_Bear: Wtf lol
richard_ermen: 2 Deaths for 0 Progress
bytecaster: Any%
Qalten subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 83 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Qalten! (Today's storm count: 3)
BusTed: good takeaway
ladyjessica: I guess there are a lot of wrong options
Vinewood_OG: Hot streak
CustardNuts: @accountmadeforants Literally
Dog_of_Myth: Smart
Qalten: Yay trial and error X(
bytecaster: Also don't be rude to the lady in gold
kyosokun: Least the betrayer went down with you
TXC2: others are rungs on the ladder of success
Smirking_Bear: I don't think morale will ever increase during this stream lol
maclaglen: It's Rock, Paper, Scissors, but every choice is you die!
ladyjessica: I guess being branded is ok but tongue cut out is not
kingandcommoner: Pull yourself up by THEIR shoelaces
tdapenguin: They are notorious places
accountmadeforants: Bring a saw so you can cut the rungs as you climb
TXC2: DS3 ?
ArtDecoSunburn: @bytecaster People borne in on palaquins tend to not have much patience.
richard_ermen: I...I do feel though, that the game is exaggerating historical events for drama purposes.
Smirking_Bear: Hell yeah ! Bloodbourne!
ArtDecoSunburn: @maclaglen Technically all three of those can cut you.
richard_ermen: Cori and Cameron accidentally creating a new sort of ladder-game.
bytecaster: What if our hands touched and I didn't feel so hollow anymore
kingandcommoner: A right side and a wrong side
EvilBadman: What if my cone helmet alerted you to my presence
TXC2: "what if we made out on the corporate ladder?"
Smirking_Bear: Watch her get sold out again ?
MenomeAlice: @EvilBadman DongDongDongDongDongDong
richard_ermen: I mean, Chaos is a ladder.
EvilBadman: @TXC2 You get caught at a Colplay concert
ArtDecoSunburn: If we get this wrong, is it possible all 3 options are bad and the game ends?
MTigress: wow
Smirking_Bear: Lmao it's all a trap 🤣
LidofLoathing: @ArtDecoSunburn the only way to win is never play
Reecer6: infer information? what a silly concept
BusTed: explore the space, says the game
richard_ermen: I love how the imperfect information we have is used to be all the more assholish to us as players. Because...how are we supposed to know??
kyosokun: Wow, this game is vicious and unfirgiving
EvilBadman:
So is this a metroidbrainia or roguelike 
bytecaster: "Ouch"
BusTed: maybe it got infected
TheMerricat: You are scared.
kusinohki: meows
accountmadeforants: @EvilBadman Clearly a time manipulating puzzle game
Vinewood_OG: No bactine
bytecaster: You can(not) empress
richard_ermen: Basically: Being branded is death sentence.
kusinohki: looks like I missed some stuff...
ArtDecoSunburn: @LidofLoathing Life is brutish and short, with cutscenes!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @kusinohki decision point one. decision point two is a trap..
LidofLoathing: @ArtDecoSunburn cutscenes and gorgeous hair
TXC2: team neutral all the way
Barb4rian: Got 'em
bytecaster: That girl is getting branded
SymphonySolstice: rip
139 raiders from SergeYager have joined!
bytecaster: We live!
accountmadeforants: Well she's at least consistent
TXC2: hello Raiders!
Jundinator: BREW CREW
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Hi Brew Crew!
Strebenherz: BAD TIMES
MenomeAlice: 🎵Empress, is a long, long road 🎵
richard_ermen: We got a profile for the ....the dog??
ExachixKitsune: I got briefly confused, I thought we just raided into an advert
bytecaster: No real people were branded in the making of this game
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants Would you say she's "on brand" ?
Smirking_Bear: Tiny dog has a royal title !
niccus: brews are on brand for this game
richard_ermen: These social rules are insane.
accountmadeforants:
@ArtDecoSunburn 
TheAinMAP: Well, I see there's a dog. Anything else important?
Vinewood_OG: @ArtDecoSunburn *golf clap*
Thefluffiestguineapig: @richard_ermen All social rules are insane from some prespective
bytecaster: So someone is gonna get branded no matter what huh
Lord_Hosk: Serge used the Caretakers Array to send voyager home... he abandoned the Ocompa and arrested the Maqui. it was a good time.
Dalrint: Is this an FMV game
LidofLoathing: oh no, there's a mean girl
Juliamon: yes this is an FMV game
ExachixKitsune: @Lord_Hosk That's my streamer
bytecaster: She is being very on brand!
TXC2: Lord_Hosk poor Seven-of-nine
goatprince: yeah.
kusinohki: my brain is stuck on apothacary diaries. this probably could use that IP with very few changes...
Boon_33:

Aenir798: Yep!
Thefluffiestguineapig: He went straight home
omdorastrix: Made the whole series NOT happen. Threshold never happened!
shendaras: Oh, and Paris goes back to prison, too.
Dalrint: And then the game ended!
ArtDecoSunburn: @Vinewood_OG Thank you. Making puns is my only route to survival in the court of the simulated talking.
xerjen: It was great, everyone was happy and back for coffee.
goatprince: let's not have a TV show!
INCSlayer: and then he made Tom Paris fly himself back to prison
richard_ermen: @Thefluffiestguineapig True, true. Just feels like especially bad.
LithelyUnshod: ASAB
Strebenherz: How DARE Serge!
richard_ermen: Everything is better than the burn.
Kentosaurus: better than the salamander evolution
Ms_LadyMix: Serge beat Star Trek Voyager handidly
richard_ermen: But sadly the Voyager game is only so so.
BusTed: ggs
Strebenherz: Also I'm sorry there's a voyager game?!
goatprince: he mispronounced every name in the game as well
bytecaster: Never met Nelix
omdorastrix: "Voyager: Across the Universe"
Smirking_Bear: cori and cam pogged hard right now lol
Thefluffiestguineapig: We outie 5,000
ExachixKitsune: @bytecaster No no, he met Nelix
omdorastrix: Spoilers!
Boon_33:

TotallyNotaBeholder: Murder Tuvix, or Murder Tuvix
bytecaster: @ExachixKitsune So he didn't win after all
richard_ermen: @Strebenherz It's a what-if roguelite where you play from sector to sector dangling ressources but its...very mid.
accountmadeforants: Tuvix shouldn't have brought a peony on-board
shendaras:

Dalrint: You can also keep B'elanna split into human and klingon foreve from that episode where that happened.
Aenir798: The game was basically doing the "are you SURE?" with a lot of the choices at the end
richard_ermen: lol.
MTigress: lol
Ms_LadyMix: Yeah the game made him feel REAL bad about his decisions lol
Juliamon: yeah, mid feels... fair for VOY
bytecaster: It's on brand!
Strebenherz: Look you're not wrong cam but how dare you
Ms_LadyMix: Or the game tried to
Lord_Hosk: yep
Vinewood_OG: Accurate
Lord_Hosk: its fine
MenomeAlice: Jettison Neelix on Day One, never get Tuvix
Kentosaurus: it's funny cuz it's true
Thefluffiestguineapig: Absolutely, they used the episode script it seemed like
TheAinMAP: Serge kept saying he knows very little about Star Trek.
ExachixKitsune: So... Pivot
TXC2: how genes work yes
omdorastrix: But - Guys the GOOD news is that the episode THRESHOLD never happened because of Serge
bytecaster: You just seperate the ridges out, easy
richard_ermen: So....Half-people from Star Trek are 200% of the corresponding thing?
Aenir798: @Ms_LadyMix Serge would not allow himself to be shamed for his choices
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Can't Transporters clone people anyway? Just clone Tuvix, then separate one copy.
Strebenherz:
Hi yes hello I'm a voyager Stan and you're not wrong but 
richard_ermen: Because else, you just get 50% of a thing
Vinewood_OG: "That's how science works, because reasons. Shut up."
TheMerricat: @omdorastrix But the Borg are still out there!
Ms_LadyMix: Were we supposed to grow out of that?
richard_ermen: Do not mention the P-Series, it was bad.
Vinewood_OG: Jeri kicks ass in Picard
Strebenherz: @omdorastrix But the salamander babies
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Jerry Ryan is a gift to humanity!
omdorastrix: Late 1990's and Picard was liek 30 years later in universe
TXC2: there's no Statute of limitations on thinking about Seven of nine
Juliamon: maim, scar for life, etc
richard_ermen: I feel like the amount of murder in this game is higher than I thought it would be.
dumbo3k: upside down on the ceiling?
accountmadeforants: Upside down below the bug
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Also, the Rock def had a crush on her in his episode!
Thefluffiestguineapig: A lot of times the half people in Star Trek over compensate by getting REALLY INTO one half of their heritage and denying the other half completely
Wolfstrike_NL: dislikes egg?
KaleidoscopeMind: "Woof, Woof"
SymphonySolstice: I'd throw a consort under the bus for yunnie
bytecaster: We gotta unlook "Woof Woof"
Earthenone: we are going to poision the dog arent we?
Strebenherz: @Thefluffiestguineapig Not wrong
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's a Pomeranian. That breed probably shouldn't exist
goatprince: noooo
GhostValv: D:
EvilBadman: How many flowers do you get on the dynasty pass
BusTed:

TheMerricat:
So chat the game has a bloopers DLC... 
Thefluffiestguineapig: NO DO NOT DO THAT
richard_ermen: Are...are flowers or eggs bonus ressources? Is this...is this pay to win? Or pay to egg??
goatprince: don't throw e g g at dog
xerjen: Also seems to dislike eggs
Thefluffiestguineapig: Throw e g g at the human
richard_ermen: When is this game happening? I'm guessing Wei is not Wei of Three Kingdoms, is it?
niccus: @richard_ermen it's the game's microtransaction! strictly for social leaderboards
tdapenguin: @TheMerricat That's neat!
kusinohki: considering spock required a bunch of genetic gene splices to be born (according to spock's world), I'm amazed there's so many half this species half that species people in star trek...
bytecaster: Everybody likes flowers and hates eggs in their face
accountmadeforants: Beloved by the mooooon
KaleidoscopeMind: noooo
A_Humble_Wooper: I mean, I feel like most people would prefer to not have eggs thrown at them.
Thefluffiestguineapig: So maybe the dog dislikes eggs because the person dislikes eggs
richard_ermen: @niccus I have so many questions.
SymphonySolstice: blooper reel DLC omg
MTigress: lol
Thefluffiestguineapig: WHAT
bytecaster: Subtle
richard_ermen: So far, the entire game is a minefield of decisions
TXC2: casual bloodstains
richard_ermen: If we're looking at this, is becoming Empress even a good thing??
Thefluffiestguineapig: Why would the bloopers be cheaper? That doesn't make sense
tdapenguin: @richard_ermen The answer is "and/or death", i think
accountmadeforants: Better to trust the enemy you know I guess
thedepthandbreadthofseth: Do we all know that Jerry Ryan is directly responsible for Obama Presidency. Never let a man get away with being a bastard.
SymphonySolstice: girl was gonna kill us
richard_ermen: @tdapenguin lol
TXC2: thedepthandbreadthofseth "directly" is a bit much
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth That's a great point. Illinois senate.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh the cut throat tactics
Strebenherz: Backstabbing everywhere
richard_ermen: She's great at looking vulnerable to hurt our decision making
IbunWest: Yesss this game is crazy
Thefluffiestguineapig: Until the-DAMNIT I was trying to type out until the clip loops
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TXC2 She told the world about her ex. No President Obama in 2008 without that.
kusinohki: if she starts telling me detroit was part of the underground railroad, I'm out...
Thefluffiestguineapig: No this is more savage
accountmadeforants: They also have eunuchs, just like the space marines!
Cleekru subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 101 months, currently on a 101 month streak!
Cleekru: i missed my 100 month message t.t
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Cleekru! (Today's storm count: 4)
ArtDecoSunburn: The battle of manners in a court is deadlier than any 40K hive planet.
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
TXC2: thedepthandbreadthofseth ah, I assumed it just all came out in the papers or something
ladyjessica: I’ve looped through this before
ladyjessica: I know you’re lying.
richard_ermen: "A snake at your bosom can be more trustworthy than one in the bush, for at least on your bosom you know where it is, but beware, for it will forever wait to bite you"?
bytecaster: Or network!
SymphonySolstice: blood room time
EvilBadman: lol how is there tearing on an FMV
richard_ermen: YES
MTigress: hell yah
KaleidoscopeMind: blood for the blood god?
TXC2:
again, why is NO ONE talking about the bloodstains?! 
accountmadeforants: Making friends? A likely story
GhostValv:

richard_ermen: Death Ghost unlocked
NoxStryx: What bloodstains
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth His dropping out of the race due to the sex club scandal meant Obama's senate opponent was Alan Keyes. That mattered.
TXC2: MURRRRRDER!
SymphonySolstice: well ok then
MTigress: LOL
LidofLoathing: that was quick
Barb4rian: REDRUM
IbunWest: Whoopsie
Thefluffiestguineapig: WELP
kyosokun: God
bytecaster: Okay, this game is great actually
ExachixKitsune: wow that was the end of the game very quickly
goatprince: okay now do it again but better this time guys
Kentosaurus: well that escalated quickly
Thefluffiestguineapig: Game good
dumbo3k: well that was a quick turn around
ladyjessica: wow…. this game
Vinewood_OG: Cursed, of course.
MTigress: this game is amazing
GedankenPalast_:
death by coin flip! 
Smirking_Bear: Well , how many more bad choices will we make ?
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Someone call Jessica Fletcher!
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TXC2 If she didn't name particulars in the divorce, Jack Ryan might be a national political figure now.
Thefluffiestguineapig:
I guess do better

richard_ermen: I love how dumb these decisions are. INSTANT DEATH from choosing the wrong hairpin. Amazing.
accountmadeforants: We're clearly a time traveler looping through decisions until we somehow become empress
Thefluffiestguineapig: Go back one more?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can you go back and not accuse her?
Smirking_Bear: Morale is dropping faster then these women are ....
ArtDecoSunburn: @thedepthandbreadthofseth Like with John Edwards.
Earthenone: ohh my god, they were roommates?!Q
KaleidoscopeMind: "i've decided you're not a threat"
EvilBadman: And they were roommateS?
bytecaster: She is gonna get us next!
richard_ermen: "I can tell, you're so oblivious to court specifics, I can manipulate you best. Come to my room!"
MenomeAlice: Are we accidentally going for an all death run?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @MenomeAlice Might be on purpose now, find all possible deaths
richard_ermen: New Death Ghost?
richard_ermen: CONGRATS
richard_ermen: looool
MTigress: lol
ladyjessica: finally
EvilBadman: @MenomeAlice Yes, an accident
Dog_of_Myth:

ExachixKitsune: Tutorial complete!
KaleidoscopeMind: the tutorial??
Ms_LadyMix: "Congrats you did it" I'm dead
accountmadeforants: Congrats! You survived for half an hour!
GedankenPalast_:

TXC2: SUCCESS
ladyjessica: I feel the game saying that
dumbo3k: hahaha tutorial complete
TheTherirah: lets gooooo!
shendaras:

BusTed: Progress!
Strebenherz: CONGRATULATIONS YOU LIVED
Thefluffiestguineapig: Only took almost 45 minutes
tdapenguin: i have thought to myself five times "i should stop watching this b/c imperial harem politics are deadly and i don't need the downer" ... but i'm still watching
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz Through one day
MenomeAlice: Now do WOOF WOOF
bytecaster: We have collected 0 eggs thus far
TXC2: boudoir choices ?
richard_ermen: How many days does this game contain? 15+?
accountmadeforants: This PoE skill tree is looking a bit weird
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh me (as in my autistic IRL ass) would have died so fast)
richard_ermen: loooooool
TXC2:
no shit game 
richard_ermen: It's a TENDER LOVING CARE style personality test.
Thefluffiestguineapig: NO SHIT
Strebenherz: NOT A GUIDE okay
richard_ermen: Omg, I never thought I'd see something this stupid again xD
Vinewood_OG: Myers Briggs with extra steps
Strebenherz: Stabbings everywhere also NOT a life guide
tdapenguin: @Strebenherz more of a death guide?
ArtDecoSunburn: "I know what you did last dynasty."
SymphonySolstice: I worked with a lady who took all personality quizzes seriously and would make spreadsheets about it so yeah you need this disclaimer lol
Thefluffiestguineapig: How fast will she die?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Vinewood_OG Maybe more corporate personality types need courtly politicking and hatpin murders?
richard_ermen: @SymphonySolstice This reminds me of the foreword Frank Herbert appended to DUNE where he basically said "This book is about how saviours and messiah figures are bad" and people still misunderstood.
Wolfstrike_NL: Does the dog have it's bonus story now?
Feriority: You can throw eggs at characters you don't like? GOTY
kusinohki: symph - of course you would say that. you're a *rolls die* taurus?
bytecaster: Oh, this game has Counterplay!
SymphonySolstice: @kusinohki [incorrect buzzer, you are dragged away and branded]
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Feriority But my bet is if a lot of people don't like you they will rat you out
bytecaster: We can send the dog flowers now!!
KaleidoscopeMind: we got flowers!
EbDorian: Just joined, how many times have we died so far?
ladyjessica: just what an fmv needed, multiple currencies
EvilBadman: 4% of players never hit a bad ending
kusinohki: dang it, not again...
accountmadeforants: The 4% who didn't get a bad ending must've been gaming out of their MIND
tdapenguin: @EbDorian yes
GhostValv: dang your palace is seeming real infathomable
Feriority: I wish my rear palace were unfathomable.
bytecaster: We are getting achievements left and right!
Strebenherz:
@richard_ermen 
Vinewood_OG: Temba their depths fathomed
Thefluffiestguineapig: No one said you were wasting stuff, also what kind of absolute madlads could not trigger any bad endings in this scenario?
Earthenone: metaachevments
TXC2: Cheevo!
kingandcommoner: Cheevoception
goatprince: eggs,,,,,
hitman888889: you should throw 9999 eggs at yunnie for being evil mastermind
bytecaster: That's a good price for 600 eggs
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants Those are people who keep Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" on loop at home.
KaleidoscopeMind: that's a pretty good price for eggs
MTigress: that's a reasonable price for eggs.
Vinewood_OG: Tarp budget embezzling
Barb4rian: FMV Microtransactions?! It really is 2026
Thefluffiestguineapig: Microtransactions!
Wolfstrike_NL: It will convince Wheeler
TXC2: 64800, so a gross gross ?
ArtDecoSunburn: So that's the price of eggs in China?
accountmadeforants: @ArtDecoSunburn Or people from the past imperial court time-slipped into the modern era.
kingandcommoner: Yunnie, short for Yunicorn
richard_ermen: Dog Strat winning strat?
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 I knew it was all digital.
SkylerRingtail: An FMV visual novel (?) with a Leaderboard and Microtransactions? What in the world
Earthenone: wha6 if the dog is the ghost
Omnipotrevor: I'm not sure that dog is period accurate
hitman888889: stop, yunnie is evil mastermind behind the consort
goatprince: mods, clip this
BusTed:

Thefluffiestguineapig: So you can only get things to send to get for good rewards through gameplay, but you can buy ALL THE EGGS for real money
Smirking_Bear: You can trust a Royale court dog .... right ?
tdapenguin: yes, delightful
bytecaster: Where was the "Woof, woof"!??!?
richard_ermen: So...."Bonus Story" means "B-Roll Content"?
accountmadeforants: I love that that was marked as "IMPORTANT"
bytecaster: The dog was silent, no woof!
TXC2: goatprince we don't make clips, we curate them
KaleidoscopeMind: but can we pet the b-roll?
Thefluffiestguineapig: That is just video of the dog going backwards
EvilBadman: {Important}
Feriority: Yunnie would never betray us
Smirking_Bear: Yeah right , I bet tiny dog would murder you also if he got a chance
TheMerricat: Cameron.....
TXC2:
richard_ermen yes, bonus roll content 
Wolfstrike_NL: There's even a redeem code button
bytecaster: This is great though!
Thefluffiestguineapig: This was going to make the Critereon collection at all? Also those are still going to exist now the merger has gone through?
TXC2: who up fathoming their palace ?
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: On that grim note
tdapenguin: @Thefluffiestguineapig animal fact?
kingandcommoner: @Thefluffiestguineapig Gonna be honest, making the Criterion Collection ain't as had as they make it sound
kusinohki: oh lord... a choose your own adventure book, but some endings are locked behind a paywall...
ArtDecoSunburn: @kingandcommoner (Twenty years from now someone picking "Road to Empress" cut scene DVD from the Criterion Closet)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner (I know, it's more that since they were bought by I think Netflix people are pretty sure movies aren't going to be a priority for them to make at all any more and releasing box sets also won't be)
TXC2: right chat I'm off
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Cori and Cameron
MTigress: we need a FMV game about running a bus charity marathon
EbDorian:
@kusinohki Don't give them ideas 
tdapenguin: bye @TXC2
bytecaster: Goodnight @TXC2!
MTigress: have a good night without hauntings in the bloody handprint room
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sleep well TXC2
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 I like that implies it's a coastal palace, or at least as damp as it is knowable.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EbDorian I'm positive some kind of text adventure app probably did that
Thefluffiestguineapig: You ever make yourself nauseous contemplating capitalism?
Sethalidos: EVERY.DAMN. DAY
EbDorian:
@Thefluffiestguineapig 
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also I realized in my profession they are getting more and my hyper specific about the requirements they want in their candidates, and complaining they can't find help or keep people since they are working the few "ideal candidates" to breaking point and rapid burnout
kingandcommoner: Sounds like the modern job market
Sethalidos: that's every position besides the C-suite
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig "Choices: Stories You Play (Mobile) How it works: This is a popular visual novel app by Pixelberry Studios where you play through various, branching narratives. P2W Mechanics: While the game is playable for free, "premium choices" (like choosing a superior path, a romantic scene, or a special item) cost Diamonds (in-game currency). Without spending, you often receive a less desirable narrative outcome or "bad" ending. "
Thefluffiestguineapig: So it's the idea of "we need help so bad!" But if I apply "no we don't want you because we somehow think we can hold out for our ideal candidate who doesn't exist because they can get any job they want"
bytecaster: And always, always look out for eggs
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or you select your few allies and just eviscerate everyone else
Strebenherz: This is legacy mtg, take no prisoners
Strebenherz: THE TUTORIAL
TheMerricat:
@Thefluffiestguineapig Been hearing that line for 5 years now.
sorry.
tdapenguin: @Thefluffiestguineapig that is terrrible, i'm so sorry to hear that.
accountmadeforants: I guess micro transactions is how they pay for this set design and construction.
Wolfstrike_NL: Do you partake in luxary? or stay dirty?
kingandcommoner: Who wants toast?
MTigress: inb4 someone steals your clothes and you miss the banquet
CaptainSpam: And then... sudden bathtub murder!
SnackPak_:

Vinewood_OG: Taco seasoning
SymphonySolstice: it smelled like teenage boys exploding a can of axe in the bathroom
kingandcommoner: Done done done
Thefluffiestguineapig: I went to a middle school that was combined with an elementary school where there were less than 30 people grades 6-8
goatprince: pick the one that won't get you killed
Omnipotrevor: Don't want to prune. It'd probably result in your death
Earthenone: choose green for sure, its what the co workers wore
INCSlayer: i agree with matt pick the one that doesnt kill you
kingandcommoner: This game is stressing me out
TheMerricat:
@accountmadeforants if you buy the bundle for this game with the DLC, it's more than a dollar cheaper than the base game alone and comes with 600 eggs and flowers. 
Thefluffiestguineapig: Choose green, modesty will let you survive
accountmadeforants: The one on the left looks like it'll fall apart
Omnipotrevor: Remember, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down first
tdapenguin: the fancy sleeves are a way of bragging that you don't have to do any manual labor (according to my memory)
goatprince: (i think the pink one looks like that flower you don't want to wear)
tdapenguin: bronze mirror
glitched_goddess: That looks less green than it did on the thing
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, are those peonies?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The flower that the consort got possed about?
tdapenguin: @Thefluffiestguineapig uhoh, i hope not
Thefluffiestguineapig: *pissed?
SymphonySolstice: anyone stinky is right out
Brozard: Oh geez, I thought for a second this was animated and was extremely imrpressed
bytecaster: "Someone"
kingandcommoner: Prince of Whey. He is ripped
tdapenguin: daggit, i missed some crucial action b/c my internet breifly cut out
bytecaster: There is already too many princes
bytecaster: Where is the poison taster though?
Thefluffiestguineapig: An emetic in the food is my guess
omdorastrix:
I didn't realize this was the plot of the Apothecary Diaries 
Azralorne: Where's maomao when you need her
glitched_goddess: are they not showing his face cause he's ugly?
CaptainSpam:

tdapenguin: @glitched_goddess we're not allowed to look, maybe?
kyosokun: You are 1000% going to get poisoned. Maybe not this very scene
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tdapenguin 100% not allowed to look
richard_ermen: Them's be fighting words, Mr.Emperor sir.
MenomeAlice: We need to slowly drink tiny bits of the poison and dose both cups
omdorastrix: He's no Jinshi but I'm sure he's pretty
Omnipotrevor: *most formal setting imaginable* "there's no need for formalities"
Kentosaurus: exactly what I think when someone says "no need for formalities"
richard_ermen: "Don't be too formal, my good people" is something you can only ever hear from people who don't fall under those explicit social rules.
tdapenguin: everything is fine everything is fun, there's no worries here! (complete lie)
corpocracy: No need for formalities...
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yes
Thefluffiestguineapig: A banquet with the actual Empress
richard_ermen: Man, the emperor is looking like he had a bad day. Or just grump-face-central.
Tiber727: A UN council meeting?
bytecaster: Just had the shoes ready
accountmadeforants: You can really tell how everyone's uncomfortable, that's how you *know* it's fancy
richard_ermen: "Finally, the gift of shoes for the people."
richard_ermen: "From today forth, my people shall wear silly shoes that are far too long at the end"
Thefluffiestguineapig: SHIT
bytecaster: I'm great at Mtg
richard_ermen: Instant Improv
Feriority: Terrible performance!
MTigress: hahaha
BusTed: surely
tdapenguin: my talent is, uh, armpit burping
goatprince: pipa,,,,,,
Kentosaurus: I can say the alphabet backwards
MTigress: bwahaha
richard_ermen: 'Amusingly bad'
BusTed:

SnackPak_: \m/
Thefluffiestguineapig: Then you see the death
SymphonySolstice: 10/10
Omnipotrevor: I like when the prompt itself tells you how bad of an idea it is
dingo94200 subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 39 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, dingo94200! (Today's storm count: 5)
richard_ermen: lol
bytecaster: I wrote this song for you!
Barb4rian:
rolling a 2 on your performance check
niccus: *plays the home depot theme*
MenomeAlice: STAIRWAY DENIED
Thefluffiestguineapig: Description was accurate
accountmadeforants: Perfect game
bytecaster: I'm actually always bad at it!
richard_ermen: I love how he's allowing this.
Earthenone: zìyóu de niǎo !
accountmadeforants: Good Ending! We escaped and lived!
Earthenone: (freebird in chineese)
SymphonySolstice: empress says git gud
corpocracy: Play Pipa poorly? Execution.
accountmadeforants: Never mind!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yup
bytecaster: They had to record so many death scenes
LithelyUnshod: Ah, our first Strangled by Cousins
bytecaster: The princes like us!
Thefluffiestguineapig: You disgraced them, they would rather you not come home
Kentosaurus: oh, so we need a private concert
KaleidoscopeMind: another man of taste
SymphonySolstice: Lu Zhi understands the shitpost
richard_ermen: I love how we're going for an All-Death-Run. I loved doing this in "Fate/Stay Night", but there at least you had Tiger tell you what you did wrong xD
EbDorian: While my pipa gently pweeps
Thefluffiestguineapig: And now we go back and choose differently, because is this an all death run?
BusTed: chawacters
hitman888889:

Thefluffiestguineapig: Well shit
glitched_goddess: Li Zhi looks like one of the vampires from Twilight
bytecaster: It's the boi!
MenomeAlice: Li Tai can get it
richard_ermen: Zhenguan Era....is this fantasy China?
TheMerricat:
Chat, is this just an old school Sierra game but with FMV instead of 8bit graphics? 
Thefluffiestguineapig: "Gentle" and "kind" in this context do not mean the same thing because they are in the same context as someone who enforces a huge amount of propriety
bytecaster: I feel like a bit of family murder is just normal in that kind of palace
tdapenguin: @richard_ermen yes
Micalovits: Ready for the song to be TO good?
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is very much to modern sensibilities
CustardNuts: Quick, bust out the pipa
richard_ermen: For some unknown reason our singing activated a background band.
richard_ermen: Clearly the magical princess powers we have allowed us to activate the secret chorus
Thefluffiestguineapig: SHIT THE TACTICS
BusTed:

SymphonySolstice: damn
bytecaster:
Wiki unlocked 
Thefluffiestguineapig: And this is why I wouldn't last 5 minutes
richard_ermen: Clearly suicide.
corpocracy: Wait, we were punished for playing Pipa poorly! Unfair
Gekyouryuu: Impeccable timing
bytecaster: "Can we go now?"
richard_ermen: Turnabout Empress???
tdapenguin: 'play close attention to the flaws in the argument'
accountmadeforants: OBJECTION
tdapenguin: ooooooh, booom! new player
richard_ermen: Ahh, the woman with power arrives.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Head consort here to smack down all the scheming
TheMerricat: Middle
Thefluffiestguineapig: Daaaaaaaaaaaamn
richard_ermen: It seems like the Emperor fell asleep xD
richard_ermen: Fastest Autopsy in all of CHINA
tdapenguin: @richard_ermen to be fair, looking at the head isn't too hard
richard_ermen: True, true.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Aw muffin, the whining
BusTed: oh, you scamp
bytecaster: We .... live
bytecaster: ?
richard_ermen: She....she gets a stern look and that's it?`?
accountmadeforants: Aw dang guess I killed someone, I'll cut down on my spending for a little bit
richard_ermen: People died, Mr.Emperor!
tdapenguin: appparently we live, but, did we actually get a chance to eat much?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The pretty face and good lay (possibly with a child) makes up for a lot. It matches the nasty consorts dress
Thefluffiestguineapig: I bet we die instantly
Micalovits: @tdapenguin Maybe not eating is pretty good
tdapenguin: @Micalovits to be fair, probably so nervous as to be unable to eat, so hopefully midnight snacks are a thing
Earthenone: hiding your shame from god
KaleidoscopeMind: full cookie monster omnoms
Kentosaurus: cameron eats in stop motion?
ConspiracyOfCartographers: That flower? Doomed
accountmadeforants: "Hell yeah get a piece of that imperial ass, homegirl"
richard_ermen: I mean, imagine sex with the Emperor might be amusingly bad, so maybe its actually a punishment to be called to night duty?
SymphonySolstice: fibsh
starlitdiscord: fish!
ConspiracyOfCartographers: Fish token, good for one fish at any time
richard_ermen: Can we secretly gun for the prince?
Dog_of_Myth: !secret
LRRbot: That's my secret, I'm always going left.
tdapenguin: !advice
LRRbot: 20 years is a lot of years. At least twenty!
glitched_goddess: She's a consort too, aren't we technically competing with her?
richard_ermen: Yes, but don't get hung up on such technicalities.
EbDorian: Is she our parent's sibling or an uncle's wife?
richard_ermen: I think she's our aunt from "our clans side"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EbDorian No idea
tdapenguin: @EbDorian if we knew chinese, we'd know from the specific word for aunt that she used. (and also, which parent)
KaleidoscopeMind: she's using the term for mom's older sister, but doesn't distinguish between by blood vs marriage (mom's brother's wife)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Code for Women
ArtDecoSunburn: A Romneyesque Binder for Women.
richard_ermen: "Consort 101"?
itsaysTRUENO: becoming intimidated by capitalized pronouns
tdapenguin: @KaleidoscopeMind thanks!
KaleidoscopeMind: also some family's won't distinguish between like.. mom's older female cousin, so it could be fairly distant
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yes, it's before banquet commences
tdapenguin: @KaleidoscopeMind if it's a bit distant, that could make sense for why her brothers were wanting her to bring more status, right?
Gekyouryuu: Previous chapter, no?
ConspiracyOfCartographers: Prune!
Strebenherz: oh this definitely kills us
Thefluffiestguineapig: And see that death? Sure
EbDorian: shorter showers make cents
richard_ermen: Ah, interesting. We're wearing the colours of "the enemy"
tdapenguin: dang, the costumers got to use so much silk
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh this looks way too much like the one mean consort's dress
SymphonySolstice: it's got fish motifs, maybe the emperor will like it
lamina5432: yeah red will kill
tdapenguin: how we gonna die now?
Strebenherz: Just waiting for the death that's just being shoved off a cliff as we wilheim scream to the bottom
richard_ermen: I think our aunt will hate us now because we're wearing the wrong dress?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Branding or fire?
Strebenherz: OH NO
glitched_goddess: yeah what's the sumptuary laws like
Kentosaurus: all that slippery silk
CustardNuts: Gaslighting lil bih
tdapenguin: @Strebenherz but cliff deaths don't count
SymphonySolstice: damn she's serving too hard
SymphonySolstice: we can't compete
richard_ermen: He looks so creepy.
ConspiracyOfCartographers: He likes the dress
Strebenherz: I feel like the b-word applies here to basically everyone, yes?
TheMerricat: Chat, was red dress the right choice?
Brozard: Puppy!
Micalovits: Excited!
CustardNuts: @TheMerricat Yes
tdapenguin: @Strebenherz imperial palaces and harems are not known for being mentally-healthy places
TheMerricat: @richard_ermen If my manga reading is any indication, he's a scary person hiding under a pretty face.
Strebenherz: wait, this dress is more flowy, WHAT IF WE TRIP ON THE SONG
richard_ermen: @TheMerricat I think so too. He seems too kind on the surface.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz As someone with a masters that meant I studied the much less intensive version of this in part of Henry VII and Henry VIII's court politics, it's not great
Strebenherz: @Thefluffiestguineapig yeaaaaaah
tdapenguin: dude, it's so cold his majesty's breath is visible
Brozard: My talent? Pi to 1000 digits
BusTed: I'm surprised they filmed both versions
tdapenguin: @BusTed i'm not -- look at how elaborate they are going
CustardNuts: @BusTed It's for good reason
TheMerricat: @BusTed Notice most of the scenes are blocked off so that stuff like this could be green scren corrected?
Strebenherz: Sorry Emperor, Cairen Jiang lost the game of survivor already, don't worry about it
BusTed: eeyyy
BusTed: oops
richard_ermen: So the king likes his women in red.
Strebenherz: wait how
ConspiracyOfCartographers: Lol
richard_ermen: Ah, poisoned necklace.
richard_ermen: Poisoned tea.
ConspiracyOfCartographers: too cocky
richard_ermen: Wth.
starlitdiscord: oh are we dead?
SymphonySolstice: damn
Feriority: RIP
MTigress: bwahahah
Kentosaurus: stood out too much
tdapenguin: ooopsies, we deaded
richard_ermen: Damn that was fast.
spinebustertee: There are so many fun ways to bite it in this game
Juliamon: looked too good, sang too well
ConspiracyOfCartographers: Burned too bright
Strebenherz: too popular, KILL 'EM
niccus: brew crew got you
richard_ermen: The heck....what is the point if you have endless retrys??
spinebustertee: Also sorry, joining late, has Cori gotten Souped yet?
Gekyouryuu: "yo, you wanna survive around here? gotta learn how to suck a little." "....you mean, be bad at things?" "that, too."
BusTed: just some poisoned tea so far
tdapenguin: @niccus serge's channel has gotten so much more intense compared to this moring!
Brozard: When do we access the morphogenetic field?
accountmadeforants: I was away for five minutes, how many deaths did I miss?
Micalovits: Just one
CustardNuts: The red dress is also correct, but you chose the wrong choice for it
accountmadeforants: @Micalovits Surprising!
BusTed: There were a handful
SymphonySolstice: yeah maybe red dress and simple dance keeps you alive
CustardNuts: @SymphonySolstice Bingo!
Thefluffiestguineapig: So is the "most correct" choice the red dress and simple dance so you get the swag?
TheMerricat: Why is code woman still flagged?
tdapenguin: @accountmadeforants i think just the one -- death by tea at the banquet, when we wore the red dress to the banquiet
CustardNuts: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yeah, the game kinda tells you when you launch it, because it's her dancing in the dress
ConspiracyOfCartographers: Death also by bad pipa
accountmadeforants: @tdapenguin Ah, predictable
ArtDecoSunburn: It's different.
accountmadeforants: Take it out on the crickets at least
richard_ermen: "Cricket Fight".....man, our clan brothers are losers.
Micalovits: Charming brothers
Strebenherz: jesus
Brozard: peak "I'm gonna spin my arms, it's your fault if you get hit" behavior
GhostValv:

richard_ermen: Wait...this is supposed to be the Zhenguan Era???? Isn't that like 2000 BCE??
LithelyUnshod: Never
BusTed: entered the palace you say
tdapenguin: @richard_ermen what bit do you think is anachronistic?
richard_ermen: It looks like China 1650
tdapenguin: @richard_ermen eh, hte bronze mirror is okay
Brozard: Witch dress?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Go from pull your dress
tdapenguin: @richard_ermen i am terrible about keeping dynasty names and dates straight
LithelyUnshod: @richard_ermen Tang Dynasty. Taizong
LithelyUnshod: @LithelyUnshod mid 7th c
TheMerricat: Yep
richard_ermen: Hmmm, yeah, okay, Tang might be more fitting. It does feel, from the optical sense, too advanced, but that might be on me.
SymphonySolstice: dad look at my art
Micalovits: Horsie!
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!)
richard_ermen: "My son, your painting STINKS"
richard_ermen: "Hidden disability".....oh they sound like "classy" people.
tdapenguin: yeah, probably -- literally die
kimmiekoneko subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 52 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, kimmiekoneko! (Today's storm count: 6)
KaleidoscopeMind: he liked our pipa song i think
richard_ermen: He's charming. And immediately trying to use us.
tdapenguin: duuuuude, we gonna die
Micalovits: That was a fast dead
richard_ermen: IMMEDIATE Death!
BusTed: damn, that was immediate
richard_ermen: wtf.
tdapenguin: called it!
glitched_goddess: "Who put that in there?"
Strebenherz: hey mods, is the b-word permissible to use or would y'all prefer it be avoided? Cause everyone's a b-word here holy bus
Gekyouryuu: "my squeedly-spooch! I need that to consort!"
goatprince: oh noooo my strawberry jam!!!
SymphonySolstice: ok sure!
Fantusta: case closed
BusTed:

Strebenherz: stabbings everywhere
Juliamon: Just used "asshole" or "butt." There's no need for that language.
Juliamon: use*
Strebenherz: fair fair
glitched_goddess: So which one actually, historically, becomes the emperor?
Micalovits: In classic buss fashion, they are all busses
richard_ermen: I love how the option we got to choose is nothing like what we're actually saying. There was another game where this was a problem.
richard_ermen: I don't remember the name though.
richard_ermen: Fish? Are we secretly christian?
Juliamon: the fish is our hall pass
Gekyouryuu: Cam, it's China. it'd be Physician Ji Angshi
Strebenherz: like this is kind of horrifying but it's almost kind of comedic. five seconds after meeting this guy, bad end stabbings. this is just a dark souls.
BusTed: damn
BusTed: playing the game
MTigress: lol
tdapenguin: show the seal?
BusTed: oops
Micalovits: F
SnackPak_: whoops, sorry fam
accountmadeforants: Welp
Strebenherz: collecting the bad ends like pokemon, one more down
TheMerricat:
Well at least you got to fuck over your brothers on your way out. 
bytecaster: our family had it coming
Gekyouryuu: ooooh, it's his boyfriened, isn't it?
tdapenguin: @bytecaster our brothers are mean, but i'm assuming it is a very extended defintion of family who got exiled
INCSlayer: secret boyfriend
SymphonySolstice: legalize? gay?
Juliamon: ah yes, the prince who didn't want to get married
kimmiekoneko: is this the deathtrap dungeon of FMV?
glitched_goddess: He's there to give him his Vitamin D Injection
MTigress: teehee
accountmadeforants: Awww
Micalovits: D'aaaaw, he is gay and cute
SymphonySolstice: yippee
SnackPak_: no way this will end badly
richard_ermen: Ah, secretly gay.
EbDorian: assuming this isn't a trap, I didn't expect the brothers to be friendly to each other
INCSlayer: uhh oh secret evil plot?
tdapenguin: @EbDorian ..... might be a trap
Strebenherz: come on girl, play it cool
INCSlayer: the soup is too sweet KILL this servant
SnackPak_: *gasp*
richard_ermen: The heck, how many people are they killing on an average day there??
Strebenherz: Yes
kimmiekoneko: fred armisen: believe it or not, death
tdapenguin: okay folks, i gotta log off of 'deaths per day' and do some real-world interacting with people
tdapenguin: happy death, everyone!
Ms_LadyMix: This whole house is a death trap
Fantusta: I'm surprised selling her out explicitly wasn't an option
Strebenherz: Fuck it we ball
glitched_goddess: now we're both dead, great
bytecaster: Oh no, she is bad at walking
EbDorian:
@tdapenguin 
accountmadeforants: No, no, we can blame her for everything if we get caught!
Thefluffiestguineapig: I’m sad! Using the gay to get people killed?
TheMerricat: How did she fuck up at simply walking?
richard_ermen: @TheMerricat You haven't been watching asian drama much, I guess?
INCSlayer: @TheMerricat bad athletics roll
bytecaster: Good thing they don't always check all of the rocks
Ms_LadyMix: LOL
Strebenherz: BAHAHAHAHAHA
goatprince: oh.
SnackPak_: woooow
richard_ermen: loooool
gualdhar: WHAT
SymphonySolstice: BRO
corpocracy: HAH!
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Given their clothes and shoes, I'm not too surprised
accountmadeforants: Lmao
richard_ermen: Save her life, she immediately tries to kill us xD
corpocracy: TRUST NO ONE
BusTed: we simply must
Gekyouryuu: this game is WILD
Strebenherz: 10/10 game AMAZING
bytecaster: Rock! Rock! Rock!
SnackPak_: so long
SymphonySolstice: byeee
Strebenherz: GET WELLED
ghyllnox: Oop

glitched_goddess: WELL WELL WELL
Firewhiskers: Well's cursed
KaleidoscopeMind: conveniently placed well
underhill33:

TheMerricat:
Convenient well. 
BusTed:

Micalovits: James? IS that you?
richard_ermen: Err....someone will try to drink from that well and then die. Good job poisoning the well, honey.
corpocracy: A new tally: Kill Count 1
EvilBadman: just the big png gun
MTigress: well that rocked.
SymphonySolstice:

accountmadeforants: I love these rapid fire drama moments
richard_ermen: This is so absurdly insane xD
bytecaster: This is actually quite fun
KaleidoscopeMind: the DRAMA
Firewhiskers: @richard_ermen Naw, she'll crawl out Sadako-style
MenomeAlice: SMELL THE WELL
richard_ermen: @Firewhiskers That would be so awesome =)
accountmadeforants: No build-up, all action, drama and intrigue
TheMerricat:
Chat I've been told this is just pure distilled k-drama. I might be interested in k-dramas. 
glitched_goddess: I looked it up, I think we're supposed to be the future Wu Zetian?
Thefluffiestguineapig: this is telenovela levels of insanity
Strebenherz: yeah i think dark souls has less of a body count at this rate? which is a phrase i didn't expect to say
spo8n: so I think the general message from chat is that you need to say a killer pun before murdering someone with a rock
TheMerricat: @glitched_goddess "Road to Empress (《盛世天下》) is a popular 2025 interactive FMV (Full-Motion Video) drama game where players navigate the treacherous, high-stakes rise of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty."
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Honestly this is just regular drama but only the mid-season and end-of-season plot twists and cliffhangers.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz Oh Dark Souls and Silk Song are so much less ruthless than consort court politics. that’s not even a joke
glitched_goddess: ok yeah lol so I'm shocked we haven't killed more people at this point
richard_ermen: @TheMerricat Whaaaaat....we'Re WU ZETIAN? We're the JADE DRAGON? Amazing.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also they are making Wu Zetian SO INNOCENT
Juliamon: It's still early in her court life.
richard_ermen: Yeah, for a woman who lived to crown herself Empress, we're a lamb right now
LithelyUnshod: @Thefluffiestguineapig For *now*
Juliamon: Everyone starts out innocent.
Strebenherz: @Thefluffiestguineapig dark souls fights are a ballroom dance with one enemy and you both have several knives. You enter into the fight knowing you're both going to stab each other and there's never any doubt as to if they're going to stab you. Ornstein and smough never brought you flowers and tried to be your friend. They just tried to murder you
Ms_LadyMix: We are boooooooorn innnoooocent, believe me Adia
Juliamon: Seeing her aunt say that about her might have tripped the villainess flag
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig Are we though? I mean we got one person branded, just killed another. The one prince's lover is almost guaranteed to be caught since it was the princes brother who set it all up so he could remove the first prince from the running....
LithelyUnshod: @Ms_LadyMix LadyMix with the CanCon
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Yeah, but some lose it differently than others. And Wu Zetian had her mercy taken advantage of and she fed those consequences right back to people I would argue
Ms_LadyMix:
@LithelyUnshod Look if ONE person got my reference it's a good day 
LithelyUnshod:
@Ms_LadyMix I gotchu 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz At least they’re up front about it in Souls likes, that’s what people don’t understand about court politics, the consequences are just as dire but the mistake can be you wore the wrong hose (to use my era and part of the world)
KaleidoscopeMind: of Beej!
BusTed:

GapFiller: hai Beej
KaleidoscopeMind: oh*
MTigress: hi Beej!
bytecaster: Beej, we are gonna die
richard_ermen: I think she's secretly a killer ghost.
RatherLargeToad: very cat that caught the mouse
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or to use a much more French example, if you point out the obvious mistress is obvious then you will likely have serious consequences for generations. if you were new to court and didn’t understand no one talks about why the wife of a minor duke is one step below the queen, you might get utterly boned by that hidden rule
SnackPak_: pound sand
Thefluffiestguineapig: All the hidden rules will kill you
glitched_goddess: get lost or you're next in the well
Strebenherz: so beej this is basically dark souls
RatherLargeToad: Did someone gift her a tapped fish?
SnackPak_: uh oh
GapFiller: at least its not IN the well
Strebenherz: go back, NOTHING BAD COULD HAPPEN
Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, so did she befriend us as the longest game to get us punished
EvilBadman: Tell Beej there's a blooper reel DLC
Thefluffiestguineapig: Well death
bytecaster: Don't drink anything
RatherLargeToad: poison? poison
BusTed: ah shit
richard_ermen: And dead.
LithelyUnshod: Souped!
Juliamon: we got soup'd!
Plasterboard: soup!
niccus: soup...
bytecaster: Maybe we shouldn't have gone back
electrobrains: that 1/1 was important
SymphonySolstice: got souped
FauksStarling: Souped!
Strebenherz: so beej has been here for a couple minutes and already seen two deaths
LithelyUnshod: Our first souping!
richard_ermen: Also why are we killed just to be here at night??
spo8n: also died for wearing a red dress
Thefluffiestguineapig: @spo8n While singing too well
Strebenherz: also died for a hairpin
richard_ermen: "Oh well."
richard_ermen: "Palace is probably locked tight for the night....but I did manage to sneak in to listen in on my aunt. lol."
RatherLargeToad: Thriller! Thriller night!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Another nightmare death?
Plasterboard:
I
FMV
goatprince: booga booga booga! wooo! woo!!
RockPusher: Well that was a heck of a thing to walk in on!
richard_ermen: Someone before said "These palaces do not create healthy-minded people" and wow, is that ever correct.
bytecaster: Even more soup
EvilBadman: "Hahaha he fell for the soup!"
Brozard: Sorry, I'm into Sleep Token?
Kentosaurus: ruthless
Omnipotrevor: fishing for a fish token
bytecaster: Oh no, not the soup
definenull: soop?
BusTed: "you first"
RockPusher: Soup? <_<
SymphonySolstice: I fear soup
Strebenherz: WHY HESITATE
raulghoulia: Wei? Is this in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
richard_ermen: Good ol'wadda
richard_ermen: @raulghoulia Sadly no, much later.
RockPusher: managed to induce emesis in time?
EvilBadman: This is the fish of a killer, Bella
richard_ermen: A marriage of murder to be born?
richard_ermen: @EvilBadman I should not have laughed at this as much as I did. Thank you.
bytecaster: Could be an assassins tea pot!
ArtDecoSunburn: @bytecaster Exactly. Where was his thumb?
HadesLeprechaun subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 72 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, HadesLeprechaun! (Today's storm count: 7)
RockPusher: oh no, this is very affordable…
WiJohn: Oh no he's hot
definenull: oh hello
definenull: drama!
Strebenherz: wow
MTigress: hahahah
richard_ermen: lol
SnackPak_:
make trouble
richard_ermen: What a small step
SymphonySolstice: more death!
MTigress: this escalates SOOO quickly
shendaras: I'm for rebels
Strebenherz: i appreciate beej cackling in the back
InconsiderateHat: Have him push for legalize gay!
ArtDecoSunburn: Cabinet route.
bytecaster: Civil war! Civil war!
Earthenone: civil war seems a lot safer for us
TheMerricat: "Road to Empress features at least 5 standard endings, alongside numerous character-specific outcomes and various bad endings (BE) reached through choices across its 16 chapters. The game features a 100% completion guide that notes over 110 potential "endings" (including small variations/scenes) to unlock all voice messages. "
RockPusher: Chaos is a ladder and all that
definenull: what's more drama and courtroom conspiracy?
EvilBadman: @TheMerricat spoilers, geeze
SymphonySolstice: [incorrect buzzer]
bytecaster: Stab! Stab! Stab!
BusTed:

definenull: welp
Strebenherz: jesus
MTigress: hahaha
KaleidoscopeMind: that
Strebenherz: GET GOT
definenull: that was quick
gualdhar: the fuck?
RockPusher:

goatprince: oh no! her cherry cordial!
BusTed:

KaleidoscopeMind: that's a lot of blood
EvilBadman: shame beej missed that
bytecaster: Yeah, instant feedback!
bytecaster: Better than a game of Dota!
Twilight_Spark: I reckon they have to be careful, try not to generate an infinite amount of live action dead end.
MTigress: what if there's a sierra-level choice at the very beginning that makes you die at the very end
silenceaux: I would say it lacks subtlety
TheMerricat:
@silenceaux I know FMV games that employ subtlety. They are all cowards. 
gualdhar: I missed it, where's the microtransaction?
definenull: yeah the production value is really great for a fmv. the set pieces are soo detailed
MenomeAlice: @MTigress Did we remember to pick up our towel at the start?
EvilBadman: oh please have cameron play it
TheMerricat: @gualdhar You can buy flowers and eggs to give the characters (I presume to influence their choices towards you) you can also earn those by exploring all the paths.
KaleidoscopeMind: have we gathered more chevos?
SkylerRingtail: I wonder if the original Stanley Parable (the Half Life mod or whatever it was) is still available
raulghoulia: on the dance floor?
InconsiderateHat: Yeeehhhh, make him fight to legalize gay!
definenull: is this a 'roommates' situation?
MTigress: "i'll take my leave. i can swim to shore"
raulghoulia: theres no way this simple interaction will result in our death
definenull: stelf
Strebenherz: TIME FOR STABBINGS
Strebenherz: She really went "Wow your game's weak"
Kentosaurus: can we go back to the well again?
definenull: more juice!
BusTed: splorp
SymphonySolstice: blat
EvilBadman: oh no our geo
SnackPak_: so close
RockPusher:

Twilight_Spark: I wonder if this actress got sick of the taste of fake blood.
goatprince: oh nooooo..... her raspberry jelly.......
iris_of_ether: I sure picked a time to join
RockPusher:

EvilBadman: @iris_of_ether buckle up
Strebenherz: Welcome to dark souls, empress edition
Strebenherz: "SORRY TO FRIGHTEN YOU" *stabbings*
RockPusher:

SnackPak_: I think we got it next time
Thefluffiestguineapig: Weren’t the shoes gifted to the nastiest consort?
RockPusher:

TheMerricat: So for chat, I know the crew won't finish this game, but if you decide to pick this up and play it, ALWAYS listen to the voicemails in each ending. There is apparently a cheevo you need to get that requires it.
ArtDecoSunburn: Well, Middle Kingdom. Middle Path.
definenull: maybe just pushed into the lake?
Strebenherz: yes
RockPusher: actual silk or whatever they are wearing?
glitched_goddess: she marries the baby brother irl
definenull: oh no
ArtDecoSunburn: The baby brother is the artist, right?
RockPusher:

definenull: this was a sudden tonal shift huh
iris_of_ether:

Kentosaurus: they didn't see them they were right there
e_bloc:
321 fmv games slap
MTigress: lol
SnackPak_: yikes
SymphonySolstice: illusion of choice
Strebenherz: Tell his majesty, beeline the worst choice
definenull: doggo
KaleidoscopeMind: emperor knows we can sing
RockPusher:

BlackIsis: "have some soup"
RatherLargeToad: have some congratulatory soup
RockPusher:

Strebenherz: OKAY so the silk wasn't poisoned BUT
e_bloc: love can accomplish that just fine
lamina5432: I love how much death there is
definenull: welp nvm
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Recently we have seen good ones with the one on Let’s Nope and this one. This like many other things is a tool that can be used well or badly and for a LONG TIME it was badly utilized
KaleidoscopeMind: but we'd also tell him that his brother's lover wants him dead
BlackIsis: welp
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig oh agree 100% immortality would be cool but so many boobs
goatprince: what is with the strangling????
RockPusher:

Gekyouryuu: they made a whole road of it, Cam
Twilight_Spark: Up all night silking me song
definenull: they ran out of budget with the jelly
KaleidoscopeMind: (it's also easy to film)
GapFiller: goatprince no blood
GapFiller: no trace
SnackPak_: save us, Auntie
TheMerricat: @goatprince So it was considered bad form to spill consort blood in China, which meant executing them was either via poison or stranglation.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Least worst option?
RatherLargeToad: it’s a refreshing alternative to all the poisoning
e_bloc: it would be great if every path killed you
Strebenherz: honestly this makes sense, your aunt knows her way around the stabbings court
RatherLargeToad: give her some silk and soup
ArtDecoSunburn: The aunt gives off evil Annette Benning vibes.
Thefluffiestguineapig:
That is a face I trust 
definenull: wait time skip?!?
TheMerricat: @ArtDecoSunburn Well she is evil so....
e_bloc: I'm beginning to think consort of kindness is only a name
Thefluffiestguineapig: Well the emperor is her only way to shield herself
TheMerricat: Chat you think they still have a bloodstained hand room?
Juliamon: Rain probably took care of it by now
definenull: right! I envy their skincare routines
e_bloc: roblox
Twilight_Spark: That caption definitely said "and you shall remain Crown Princess" btw.
Twilight_Spark: I rewound for this.
Earthenone: when you put lead in the makeup you can get REALLY white
BlackIsis: Yikes.
e_bloc: big "bond villian explains his plan before doing any of it" vibe
TheMerricat:
btw chat, this game is 16 chapters long... can you imagine sitting on the edge of your set for that long? 
e_bloc: big dock energy
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat The furrow in my butt would be so real
Gekyouryuu: "I should not sink deeper into the game for the throne" said the future empress
Twilight_Spark: @TheMerricat yeah but it's 16 *good* chapters. This is my like 3rd time watching a playthrough.
Plasterboard: theatrical debarkation
TheMerricat:
@Twilight_Spark No dispute. 
definenull: uh oh
SymphonySolstice: le gasp
Strebenherz: WOW
SnackPak_: oof
EbDorian:
damn, catfished 
definenull: damn
Juliamon: DISRESPECT
Strebenherz: and this is why you don't text your ex
e_bloc: damn
SnackPak_:
it's ok, they have more silk 
definenull: booo
dutchmoose: oh i get that title now
Gekyouryuu: a game of thrones and his lover plays an instrument? high stakes Musical Chairs
Juliamon: "ok, but I'm still not actually gay"
definenull: oh here's the gay yearning montage
dutchmoose: REALLY got that limiter going on
e_bloc: this looks like it should be a commercial
ArtDecoSunburn: It's like the flashback half hour from Casablanca.
TheMerricat: I like the fact that Cori's head is just covering his mouth.
Thefluffiestguineapig: As a point of clarity, chat are musicians commonly prostitutes in Chinese culture like in others?
Twilight_Spark: Just absolutely pouring liquid off that model pagoda.
Thefluffiestguineapig: WHAT?
SymphonySolstice: I cry evry tim
Dog_of_Myth:

definenull: confirmed, the court is homophobic
SnackPak_: woooooow
goatprince: wow
MTigress: CONGRATS
empyreon: CONGRATS
TheMerricat: Congratz! YOU DID IT!
EvilBadman: The Imperium of Man just shows up
GhostValv: Congrats you did it
EbDorian:

protojman: CONGRATS YOU DID IT
edgeyberzerker: Congrats you did it!
Boon_33: Congratulations
eid010n: CONGRATULATIONS
Strebenherz: CONGRATS
Strebenherz: We're the monsters! Well done!
Ms_LadyMix: Vibes master!
RockPusher:

SnackPak_: we did that
BlackIsis: Your move shapes the drama, in that if you move wrong you are executed.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Congratulations: you destroyed two people’s happiness
Twilight_Spark: I wish my whiz was genius.
Veggiekeks: you crushed this guys true love, congratulations
empyreon: secret SNIFFA
Thefluffiestguineapig: “Flattering Ruin”
goatprince: nice !
Dog_of_Myth:

SnackPak_: 6/10
MTigress: this is the greatest FMV game ever
Thefluffiestguineapig: That one on Let’s Nope was fantastic in a completely different way
RockPusher:
That LRR FMV game is getting ever more viable by the day 
e_bloc: Nice beads
MTigress: @Thefluffiestguineapig absolutely
Plasterboard: This is an excellent game.
glitched_goddess: yeah this really beats Riven in quality
Omnipotrevor: I'd say you should play Contradiction: Spot the Liar, but this might have set up unreasonable expectations for what an FMV game should be
Kentosaurus: @RockPusher Road to Moonbase
TheMerricat: +1
TheMerricat: 101
definenull: +1
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Plasterboard No arguments there
TheAinMAP:

GedankenPalast_: @Omnipotrevor YES! Love me some Jenks!
empyreon: think of the savings!
e_bloc: The eggs hatch out of flowers
Thefluffiestguineapig: You use eggs to fertilize flowers? who knows
SymphonySolstice: EGG
shendaras:

Thefluffiestguineapig: Trying to incentivize being good?
KaleidoscopeMind: try some new choices?
EvilBadman: more dog
SkylerRingtail: Is it some kind of multiplayer voting system? For players to vote who they like or hate? I have no idea
Juliamon: I think it's a meta thing, you can probably view how many eggs or flowers a character has earned from all players
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh yeah go back to way beginning and try to unlock all the choices?
e_bloc: can we just play this forever
yunapaluza: You could take a look at some of the bonus videos
TheMerricat: "These flowers and eggs are actually votes for the real time popularity poll. They can be obtained through game progression or bought with in-game currency which you can get by unlocking more scenes as you progress through the game... or buying the coins with real money outright."
niccus: check the leaderboards?
MTigress:
i just realized that on steam this is titled Road to Empress I. implying there will be more 
TheMerricat:
@MTigress It's a true drama. 
GapFiller: Chinese tvcinema doesnt really do that
KaleidoscopeMind: historical drama feels more like the courtyard? not sure tho
EvilBadman: When does Bob Hope show up
TheMerricat: inhabited?
e_bloc: in 2 hours you don't empress them much
RockPusher: Easier and cheaper to bribe rather than get filming permits?
dumbo3k: first empressions?
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!)
GapFiller: tldr theres the old proverb of one hundred years being a long time in America and 100 miles being a great distance in Europe
GapFiller: China has the best of both worlds
Strebenherz: the best part was you had no idea if/when pvp was active
e_bloc: for many different definitions of pvp
GapFiller: a massive lengthy history AND a huge land
EvilBadman: Who's to say this not an extraction shooter
iris_of_ether: The first Walking Dead was heartbreaking
e_bloc: life is strange
iris_of_ether: The first one you play as the adult
GapFiller:
sooo Cam Marathon Talking Sim when 
TheMerricat: So knowing that the microtransactions are purely for the real-time popularity poll for the characters makes the microtransactions far more palatable.
LithelyUnshod: Wolf Amogus
tidehollowcat: There was a Jurassic Park one that I loved as a kid.
RockPusher: I could see Cameron liking Wolf
GapFiller: have a nice death indeed
e_bloc: oh thats why you expect everything to kill you
GapFiller: so much for diverse media appearance eh
e_bloc: immortality is great but there is so much nudity
tidehollowcat: Just a Jurassic Park telltale game, not fmv
GapFiller: or Night Trap
ArtDecoSunburn: Sherlock Holmes computer game CDs.
GedankenPalast_: Infectious madness of Dr Dekker is a good one
e_bloc: telling lies
iris_of_ether: Oh Night Trap
TheMerricat: I don't know why but Horror games were (and tend to still be) the goto for FMV games.
e_bloc: oh dr dekker is real good
j_crane330: Reminds me of Apothecary Diaries.
j_crane330: Very pretty
e_bloc: I forget the one they did between telling lies and immortality
GapFiller: they played Dr Dekker on 18 James of Chance that one time!
ArtDecoSunburn: The "Oscar Lake" language games.
Darleysam: Immortality was such a good game
j_crane330: Ok Zork
MenomeAlice: You've missed a decade or so of FMV resurgence
LithelyUnshod: Contradiction
e_bloc: I honestly think you would both really enjoy immortality
GapFiller: hmm thinking abt it now yr can even argue Life is Strange has FMV game elements
Vinewood_OG: Full Motion Violence
GapFiller: lol nah
Smirking_Bear: has morale increased yet ? or are we still sinking faster then a rock?
e_bloc: oh yeah Her Story
realbadatthis_: CONGRATS YOU DID IT!
TheMerricat:
@Vinewood_OG 
RockPusher: You offended my pawn! *BAM*
TheExactSame: showing up to see Cam reacting and now having to see what the heck just happened
gualdhar: yeah it doesn't feel like the branches go far enough to make it a true CYOA, it feels like a drama where you have to guess the next line
lamina5432: gnight
TheExactSame: Night
TheAinMAP: !next

e_bloc: of course you fight piss with piss. you fight everything with piss
Vinewood_OG:
Nah been a REAL quiet year 
electrobrains: I cast magic missile at... the darkness
Juliamon: Was it *** *******?
TheMerricat: btw chat, sounds like Netflix pulled out of the bidding war for WB, so pour one out, I'm sure it'll do well under Paramount....
Kentosaurus: 2 x 4 person drafts or one 8 player draft?
gualdhar: DO IT
RockPusher:

Strebenherz:
