TXC2: and we're back
Strebenherz: I'm on mobile I thought it was just me
MrForceOfWill: LRR in 4K would be awesome

TXC2: hello drexciya808 welcome
ZestyFungus: A pickle was a vegetable, it's a mummy now
drexciya808: @TXC2 o7
TS_Terrapin: Fried chicken and beer was one of the few (korean cuisine) restaurant types I saw in korea that didn't include rice and kimchi with their meals.
public_key_reveal_party: Apparently there is a bb.q chicken in the city next to mine, like, a 20 minute drive from me

TXC2: LordZarano wild that a Chinese chain is number 1

goatprince: play pokopia instead
goatprince: it has pikacuh
joallthedogs: Tiny takeover?
LurkerSpine: ^
Narcuru: a lot of autonomy thankfully
LurkerSpine: Microsoft is hands off with all its game companies
public_key_reveal_party: Consume content
TXC2: LurkerSpine one of the few good ideas they have
TheMerricat: You don't have to chase the snapshots though, you realize this right? Pick a version and sit on it till something comes out that makes you want to jump up to the next one.
LurkerSpine: @TXC2 Eh, it's also has its downsides
TehAmelie: please stop, i want to play the finished thing sometime
LordZarano: Spore, for another one years before
lamina5432: they are working on the new game
lamina5432: it just shares the same engine as no man's sky
PsychoI3oy: endermen moving blocks violates that though?
TheMerricat: @PsychoI3oy That was preJens.
PsychoI3oy: was it?
PsychoI3oy: it's not a huge deal, obviously, just my first thought
TheMerricat: Jens was part of Mojang but Notch running it then. Endermen was a Notch design.
TheKingWiggins: bdubs is just so relaxing to watch
PsychoI3oy: TheMerricat, ah, ok
PsychoI3oy: pre-Jens-Being-In-Charge

Hi friends! 
TXC2: hello RandomTrivia welcome
Strebenherz: Some amount of dwarf fortress I hope
RandomTrivia: Ooh, is this "guess the patch notes"?

ThorSokar: that screams a "too funny won't fix"
Brozard: @Strebenherz I love The Clash

LurkerSpine: dorf fort
TheMerricat: DF
just__fitz: Rimworld definitley

Strebenherz: Dwarf fortress cart
Strebenherz: Karp*
TehAmelie: a game where you can tame people, i would guess Rimworld
just__fitz: Pawns is Rimmy
TheInnsanity: war crime speedrunning simulator
just__fitz: Rimworld is a Story Generator, often the term used by the creator
TXC2: isn't it turbo sexist? or that a different game of the genre?
Sogheim: no, you're right, that stuff happens.
TehAmelie: there was some weirdly sexist coding and a weird defense of it from the dev
TXC2: fair stance Serge
Snowcookies: I feeel that
sarsum33: df
GhostValv: df
PsychoI3oy: Rimworld was played on 18 Games and Counting on July 27, 2027

TXC2: nothing is funnier then "comma again"
PhoenixMelior: Does cori still play dwarf fortress?
seanmrwick: Hello Moonbase! Finally saw the new Loading time moving episode
just__fitz: Just imagine reading the comments on the code for these games
TXC2: hello seanmrwick welcome
public_key_reveal_party: DF is very similar to rimworld in a lot of ways, but DF is less approachable and deeper
GhostValv:

RandomTrivia: Welp
aitsu100: lol
MrSarkhan: He'd be okay with that
seanmrwick: Thank you, @TXC2
Brozard: No that’s Adam
couchboyj: Adam would be jealous
ThorSokar: Cameron got his desired death
Brozard: I mean, Cam too, I suppose
TXC2: Adam :"IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!"
noSmokeFire: and the graphical update is the *most user friendly* version of the game
RandomTrivia: Destiny 2?
sarsum33: Rimwold is "simpel" df. but can be very adult.
PhoenixMelior: Baldurs gate 3?
PhoenixMelior: Oh an mmo, secret world?
aitsu100: Warframe
seanmrwick: Sounds like Baldur's Gate 3, but I could be wrong
Brozard: EverQuest?
TehAmelie: remember in Community, the game that Pierce's dad had a guy develop for 30 years and never stop adding stuff but always have it be ready to launch whenever he died? Dwarf Fortress always makes me think of that
couchboyj: Incomprehensible is a redundant adjective for Warframe. Everything is incomprehensible.

TheInnsanity: @Hoplon42 I've never played either
Strebenherz: Morrowind
Strebenherz: Get vivec, fight that god
TheMerricat: ESO is not Bethesda though, they farmed it out
TheInnsanity: I dont know a single person that plays ESO, and I know people that play DDO
PhoenixMelior: Pokopia is consuming my whole life
lamina5432: ESO is why we haven't gotten a new elder scrolls
Genie_M: Both ESO and F76 working well
ThorSokar: w a t
PhoenixMelior: Aniimo lol

Sartagis: FFIX?
sarsum33: skyrim i rember this happning
Sogheim: I married an Orc in Skyrim
TehAmelie: @goatprince depends on if you ask the devs or historians, i believe
aitsu100: no one said it was recent patch notes
public_key_reveal_party: The third game that is a force of nature for unhinged patch notes is crusader kings, there are some wild patch notes for that
TXC2: can't you have a child in Skyrim?
goatprince: alt history isn't fantasy
TheMerricat: Amulet
joallthedogs: Lydia?
just__fitz: All companions except the Vampire lady right?

Genie_M: It's a whole thing
TheMerricat: Civ + Sims
goatprince: oo-surp
TheInnsanity: there's an achievment in CK3 for eating the pope

RandomTrivia: Gotta sustain the brand
RandomTrivia: Thanks Ben, that was great
Genie_M: Hi again!
TehAmelie: @Bright5park for Adam, at least :3
ThorSokar: We didn't wanna giveaway the surprise in the boss' name!
TehAmelie: is it Project Hail Mary?
just__fitz: Which Book is it?
KWardJenx: Book title?
Narcuru: Dungeon Crawler Carl
TehAmelie: aah
just__fitz: Ooooh my wife just started reading it
macbody2: DCC!!!
TheMerricat: So chat what I was told was DCC was Ready Player One for LitRPGs, is that fair?
arkilyd: I also suggest The Man Who Fights With Monsters
nightsreach: i prefer He Who Fights With Monsters
just__fitz: I am done Book 7, love the series
macbody2: Done with book 8...
grappler12: My Friend group is doing the same thing and I own them all LOL
TXC2: a carrousel of book reading

Thanks for subscribing, CatTreeDreamCar! (Today's storm count: 16)
SylvrSystem: Libby!
Bacon_Trail: love Libby!
BrowneePointz: That book ages like milk
just__fitz: I honestly preferred reading as opposed to the audiobook.
BrowneePointz: rapidly
kimmibeans: I finished the series earlier this month. I'm not eagerly awaiting book 8
kimmibeans: *now eagerly awaiting
lamina5432: still find it funny ready player one got a movie, after reading it way before that
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: ready player one with the benefit of looking at it in 2026, is a horror story
macbody2: DCC kinda pokes fun at the male power fantasy thing.
just__fitz: My wife definitly did not enjoy one of the early boss fights. But she has really enjoyed the later part of book 1
kimmibeans: I get that, but I feel like it mostly pokes fun of it
macbody2: @kimmibeans agree
WitchyTQ: SERDFXCV
Sartagis: Hoopla is much better then Libby in my experience has way more copies available. And more editions if that is something you care about
WitchyTQ: sorry jonesy jumped on the ipad kjeyboard
BrowneePointz: I've heard it called LitRPG as well
just__fitz: I read the whole series is about a month. It definitely holds you in, but requires so much pop culture knowledge to get all the jokes
TXC2: no worries TQ
LordZarano: Hello Jonesy!
RandomTrivia: Hi Jonesy!
Manae: I still think LitRPG should be the generic term for choose-your-own-adventure, but I can't drive these things
BrowneePointz: You can thank .hack for that
just__fitz: Webtoon is full of LitRPG, anything that says dungeon or hunter is automatically this kind of thing
lamina5432: vrmmorpg ones
nightsreach: that's what i'm reading now, the Completionist series
LurkerSpine: Yeah do not mention SAO when dot hack exists
BrowneePointz: oh yea .hack is back....I forgot about that
nightsreach: it's pretty good
lamina5432: legendary moonlight sculptor call out, an OG of the genre
kimmibeans: The audiobooks are phenomenal as well
just__fitz: There is a Webtoon of Dungeon crawler carl now, it is pretty early on still
LordZarano: Proper Nouns
Genie_M: WoT is heavy
Narcuru: wheel of time was the one book i bounced off hard when i was younger
just__fitz: I've been reading Robin Hobb lately, it is some of the best fantasy that I have ever read
BrowneePointz: Wheel of Time. One of the only books I did not make it more than 3 chapters into
Narcuru: came back to it like decades later and ran through it, but that first several chapters were ROUGH
Strebenherz: Dune
Marvoleath: I've learned to mostly just ignore those therms outside of the exact context they appear
Manae: @LurkerSpine So my daughter is watching Hunter x Hunter and it sent me down this rabbit hole last night. .Hack and SAO are actually almost perfect contemporaries, believe it or not
TehAmelie: i got through 3 or 4 books at 3 separate times but it gets soo old
Genie_M: You have to be explained
public_key_reveal_party: "this is money. Money can be exchanged for goods and services"
Narcuru: WOW shots fired
aitsu100: i hate how many Isakia are lets give these fantasy people capitalism
just__fitz: The wildest take ever
kimmibeans: That's actually something I'll find DCC credit for. There's a ton of named characters that come in and out of the series, but they are all unique enough that I never felt lost or overwhelmed
LordZarano: Goodbye Lord of the Rings
noSmokeFire: no one looks at the map before reading
BrowneePointz: Love me Fantasy Maps. Give them all to me
Narcuru: i love maps
RandomTrivia: That sure is one of the takes of all time
BrowneePointz: I will devour them
TheAinMAP: I like maps.
NonjaBiru: Serge hates LOTR confirmed
WitchyTQ: serge and i are very different
Travilogue: I'm disappointed if the is not a map
TXC2:
weird that fantasy realm ALWAYS have decimal currency, and yet we didn't until the mid 20th century 
Nigouki: oh cmon
Sogheim: Serge and I are on the same wavelength
aitsu100: Hi Witchy
Genie_M: JRRT was not a great poet though
lamina5432: in the binder its fine
Nigouki: i still remember most of Gimli's song of Moria from when I learned it back in junior high
Narcuru: also I LOVED that the blueprints were included in the latest loading time
macbody2: Malazan Book of the Fallen - kinda awesome series. Dramatis Personae AND a map before plot... haha
TXC2: Serge not a Tom Bombadill enjoyer
7gorobei: speedrunning LoTR, any completion
Marvoleath: maps and tables should be at the end of the book
Bassios: Skip literally everything with Tom Bombadil in it
Manae: Need that JRRT Appendixes
Strebenherz: Serge how dare
Marvoleath: for reference
theambivalentagender: I thought Serge meant he would just skip the entire book if the first page was a map
just__fitz: Farseer Trilogy
ThorSokar: if the back 1/4 of the book is a dictionary for words they made up, I'm 100% out
Scy_Anide: I do not like fantasy maps and my first beta reader asked me for a map so now I guess I'm making a map...
kimmibeans: Book 3 made total sense to me without a map, though that may be because of the city I live in
Sogheim: if there's five pages of characters in the beginning of the book because I'm not expected to remember all of them, that's not a good sign.
TehAmelie: i don't mind a map or a table of contents at the start if it's going to be helpful for reference. . .
LurkerSpine: @Manae oh I believe it. I just think SAO doesn't really do anything cool or novel with the concept
public_key_reveal_party: @Scy_Anide I mean, to be fair, I think that you don't necessarily need one unless where locations are relative to each other is important, so maybe it's just that readeriked it
macbody2: Is the tv broken? Right above james' head
TXC2: macbody2 I think that's dust, not a crack
just__fitz: I love maps as a way to look back whenever they mention a location or journey. Like are they having to go by the bad guys domain or is this gonna be a long trip
Sogheim: Fringe failed it
anosognostic: firefly
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: fringe survived a wild genrre switch, it was admirable
macbody2: @TXC2 I'm not the only one seeing it...
Marvoleath:
OK, but what are Serge's feelings about an atlas? 
TXC2: X-files would have stuck the landing if it ended on season 5
public_key_reveal_party: Or just do the twilight zone thing and have the ending be "dang that was some messed up shit. Anyway bye"
kimmibeans: Book 8 comes out in May
Zanzabar_: Cancled gives you time to figure out the movie
hackingducks: the place where it's going is telegraphed in like, book one or two?
macbody2: You can read them ahead of time on his patreon...
just__fitz: Seth Macfarlane has the rights to it I think
macbody2: No .... Live action. ¨
Nathade: @Marvoleath Can be read quite quickly i guess
BrowneePointz: It's INCREDIBLE
kimmibeans: The author posted an advanced copy of the book to his Patreon, so some people have read it already
BrowneePointz: Nah. It's good
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: is it the best anime adaptation yet
lamina5432: one piece live action is good for a live action
Geldaran: I wonder how they would handle the later books and how crude they get. It makes sense and is funny in context, but i thinmk it wouldn't work as a show.
macbody2: @kimmibeans He posted them 2-3 chapters at a time, while he was writing it.
kimmibeans: It's objectively good imo, as I have never read the manga or watched the anime
Bassios:
I could never get into the One Piece anime, I gave it so many chances 
Cptasparagus: Justice for Sanjis eyebrow
kimmibeans: Or rather, I think it's good even if you ignore that it's an adaptation
Cptasparagus: @Bassios The manga is amazing
Geldaran: i mean Dungeon crawler carl starts pretty rough for TV, and goes off the deep end.
lamina5432: hiruluks hair for anyone who knows that is impressive
TXC2:
the best live action anime adaptaion, in the same way the first Mortal Kombat movie is the best video game movie? 
TehAmelie: i gave up on the manga hard around chapter 400, the show has a definite advantage in being short
BrowneePointz: I recommend the OPLA highly. both seasons are fantastic
just__fitz: Live action adaptations of a cartoon feel like going back to redo the art on your first season. You start by redrawing characters, then you make some little changes, and by the time you are done it sometimes is unrecognizable
MrSarkhan: Yes it is
Bassios: @Cptasparagus I'll take your word for it, I didn't care for any of the characters when I tried it so I'm not likely to read the manga
BrowneePointz: if you hate camp(like Ben) OPLA isn't for you
lamina5432: its campy
kimmibeans: I think DCC would be best served as being animated; it would be cancelled purely for budget if it was live action
NonjaBiru: I'm a One Piece fan and three sword style is kind of dumb
BrowneePointz: Wapol
Geldaran: @kimmibeans good point. the CGI would be terrible, or absurdly expensive.
lamina5432: drum island
realbadatthis_: Ben, I'm wearing a One Piece shirt right now and I agree about 3 swords
TehAmelie: wouldn't you put the treasured keepsake of your dead friend in your mouth?
BrowneePointz: David mother fucking Dastmalchian
BrowneePointz: His lips and teeth under that are painted black
Cptasparagus: The actors eyes are incredibly expressive
Pinwiz11: I'm eagerly awaiting Cole Escola showing up later
lamina5432: the combination CGI and actual props has been good
just__fitz: We have left my area of Nerdom, its all Greek to now.
TehAmelie: ah, the tin king
kimmibeans: @Geldaran One piece definitely surprised me with how well it handled the more fantastical elements, but I felt like it's more rooted in reality that DCC
macbody2: @kimmibeans Dinniman is very insistant on live action.
neisan2112: Love Dstmalchian so much. He's just a little weirdo
Cptasparagus: @BrowneePointz Wait until they see polkadot man
just__fitz: All these pirate talk make me want to replay just the ship parts of Black Flag
BrowneePointz: Same studio as the Bebop adaptation but different creative team
dumbo3k: @just__fitz Saaame
LoadingReadyRun: @BrowneePointz incredibly incorrect btw
just__fitz: @dumbo3k I heard somewhere that the new remake is gonna get rid of the animus parts and just be pirate goodness
RandomTrivia: That would incur a considerable amount of paperwork
BrowneePointz: or Legends of Vox Machina/Mighty Nein
BrowneePointz: or Invincible
kimmibeans: @macbody2 I understand why due to the stigma around animated adaptations, but personally I think he's being too rigid.
macbody2: I actually think, that a live action DCC show could break new ground. DInniman wants live action.
just__fitz: I am rewatching supernatural and it is crazy how many Canadian actors were random extras
Marvoleath: Rick and Morty live action would *only* work with both actors from Back to the Future
neisan2112: April 8th is Champions
kimmibeans: No Pokopia, Ben?
neisan2112: Not a full game but yeah
just__fitz: Ben are you slaying any spires?
TXC2:
just__fitz Watching X-Files for the first time, same thing is happening 
BrowneePointz: It's very Serge coded
just__fitz: @TXC2 Expanse is like that too, half of Kims Convience are martian marines
macbody2: @kimmibeans I like his "my way or the highway" vibe. He is in control of his own IP. Which I support completely.
kimmibeans: We tried being a one switch household when the switch first came out. That lasted about a month.
goatprince:
i got a dog made of bread in pokopia 
TXC2: just__fitz yeah, turns out Vancouver is a small town
BrowneePointz: they are doing Minecraft level wacky stuff
WitchyTQ: im trying to put away 40 a month to save up so i can play pokemon next year! hopefully it all works out, until then i watch Ben lol
just__fitz: Anybody played Esoteric Ebb yet? Its super good
Bassios: I loved Predator Badlands, it's so goofy and fun
kimmibeans: @macbody2 Honestly, I have to agree. I can have as many opinions as I want, but I can't fault an author for wanting to start true to their vision
TXC2: WHO?!
Cptasparagus: Are pokopia spoilers over yet
TXC2:
Ben is from the Last action hero universe confirmed 
TXC2: Cptasparagus seems like
just__fitz: LA detective
Marvoleath: @Cptasparagus seems so, unless there is predator in pokopia
Cptasparagus: @TXC2 Ty
just__fitz: Its set in LA during the Riots
BrowneePointz: Predators
BrowneePointz: with Adrien Brody
BrowneePointz: came before Prey
TXC2: Prey is a fantastic movie
Marvoleath: It's more like a side story
neisan2112: There was also an Animated movie
Marvoleath: within the universe
Bassios: AVP was... fine. AVP:R was an absolute mess. It's either at night, in a sewer, or at night in a goddamn sewer.
doubleo21: There’s Predators, where the predators abduct a bunch of people to hunt them on an alien planet.
Genie_M: AvP2 the game was incredible
LurkerSpine: I mean it's good popcorn action/horror stuff
just__fitz: The key to any Alien or Predator Movie. Is never care about continuity. Treat everything as standalone
macbody2: @kimmibeans Also taking wild chances is more fun, than playing it safe. His book publisher had to beg him to get the paper-rights. while he retains copyright. And him wanting a tv show to push the envelope is way cooler than a rote adaption.
RandomTrivia:

Wiliart:

binaryviking22: There was also Shane Blacks Predator movie where autism saves the day
public_key_reveal_party: I only watched Alien for the first time last year
Nathade: and between Prey and Badlands, Killer of Killers was released. Which is very good
aitsu100: AvP is such a good bad movie
LurkerSpine: Capcom Cup winner gets a million
Marvoleath: LoL has surprisingly low prizes given how big of an esport it is
just__fitz: What is the level of toxicity for the playerbase in each of these games
BrowneePointz: Also top tier Art and Production design
Marvoleath:
catch 21 situation, dont start playing Tarkov unless you already played a lot of Tarkov 
Marvoleath: catch 22*
macbody2: @kimmibeans Either fail spectacularly or win spectacularly .... I like that approach. Use the oppotunity to push the envelope ...
just__fitz: I think the last FPS I played a lot of was Halo Reach. I feel like I would be out of depth
Marvoleath: "here is a 15 minute mission, to complete it you will need to learn this 350 pages book by heart"
just__fitz: How is it playing Solo in these kinds of games?
TXC2:
Marvoleath kinda how it works IRL 
Jigokuro: The main issue with marathon is some quests call for cooperation but everything about the mechanics encourages shoot-first, so it's really hard to get those done.
goatprince: i wonder why people enjoy playing games that are described this way honestly. but i don't run n gun
