ArtDecoSunburn: @Flyingdelorion That's a good combo.
OldUncleDan: Have you ever seen some sort of food item being labeled as "Homestyle" and think. But whose home?
accountmadeforants:
Unrelated, I found out about "Nyaaaanvy" a few days ago, which is a kind of platform fighter/Gang Beasts-ish thing except everyone plays a long cat and you pool noodle your way across the stage, it's very fun. 
Flyingdelorion: @ArtDecoSunburn Yes, but I am sad those nuts are very expensive, so I am going to enjoy them extra!
Juliamon: Why are they so expensive? They're like, a filler nut
Aceviru: @Juliamon The breakfast of champions
accountmadeforants: @OldUncleDan It's the home that has the room temperature room
ArtDecoSunburn: @Flyingdelorion I hear ya.
Flyingdelorion: @Juliamon Apparently the labor process is very intensive plus they come from far away (where I live)
ArtDecoSunburn: @Juliamon A lot of nut prices have to do with water and fertilizer costs in California.
accountmadeforants: Yeah cashews aren't cheap here either (though I wouldn't call them expensive)
kingandcommoner: Is gonna be the day
ArtDecoSunburn: I assume God placed Chillpoint on Sunday to relax.

Boopity: This story got me with the opener
Aceviru: I hope Nelly is feeling better

DoodlestheGreat: It killed off the braincells that were trying to hold him back.

Kazman20a: Yeah I had astroids andjoust on tape, they were just regular cassettes
Laserbeaks_Fury: Be Kind, Rewind
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: And then there was using the tape counter to switch levels . . .
Laserbeaks_Fury: That feeling when you are ready to play a game, but you have to rewind it first
Boopity: "Hold on, lemme remix my game"
ArtDecoSunburn: Ahh, analog.
Boopity: That's just NES remix
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: You can load it a bit faster if you're playing an audio file down the cable, funnily enough. As long as the signal is clean you can get quite speedy.
Laserbeaks_Fury: You *know* someone's speedrun strat is to manipulate the tape to load you into the credits
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Laserbeaks_Fury Ah, the Delia Darbyshire strat
Boopity: @Laserbeaks_Fury Somehow this is not even the wildest "physical manipulation" speedrun strat I know about
ArtDecoSunburn: When I used to teach computer history to undergrads with a lab component, I would have them save data, video, and games to casette tapes to get them to understand the power of magnetic tape.
Laserbeaks_Fury: How many times could you copy games before you lose enough fidelity it won't load?
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: how wonderfully analogue
ArtDecoSunburn: @Laserbeaks_Fury You get a decent number of times. It's like making a mix tape. Wears out eventually.
OldUncleDan: I had an Apple II gs that had a SCSI Hard Drive. I think it was a whopping 25 MBs.
TheCactaceae: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving Middle 8%
ProcyonFlynn: Sneaker Net Piracy is an old tradition.
TheMerricat: Paul and Beej are talking about my childhood.
Strebenherz: oh no
TheMerricat: FWIW the memory limits of most computers that used tape drives primarily meant it was effectively impossible to have a program that was too large to fit on one side of a tape.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I made a silly stupid game once that could keep track of the items you've found by assigning them each a number: 1,2,4,8 and just having a sum value to reference
ArtDecoSunburn: You should practice booting from a floppy disc, Heather.
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat I miss the days of memory memory lines.
ArtDecoSunburn: Mercury memory lines.
TheCactaceae: I grew up with my older brother getting me to play on his ZX Spectrum +2 which is an experience I wish upon everyone, those sounds are ingrained in my memory
Kazman20a: single sided 5 adn 1/4 to 8 inch to double sided to 3 and1/2
OldUncleDan: Thanks to MECC, (Minnesota Educational Computer Consortium) our absolutely tiny school had Apple computers for us to use for classes back in 1982!
TheMerricat:
@TheCactaceae ZX81 for me. When I was 5 dad bought the kit for one off the PBX on base. Told mom he was going to put it together. It took up the kitchen table for six months before she exploded and he decided it would be a good idea to pay one of the raidomen he worked with to solder it together for him. 
Boopity: Reading the computer explains the computer
ArtDecoSunburn: @OldUncleDan Oregon Trail for all!
TheCactaceae: @TheMerricat niiiice
Strebenherz: god gaming manuals
OldUncleDan: @ArtDecoSunburn Yep yep!
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat Neat. Wonder how often PX stores got computers in people's hands.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Someone should make manuals for modern games. That's truly a very specific artform
Boopity:
Someone should make a game centered around a game manual 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Tunic really took that to a new level
TheMerricat:
@ArtDecoSunburn We got hit twice. That's also how he decided to buy the family's Atari ST.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Strebenherz I still fondly remember the manual for "Darklands" (1992), which had a bibliography.
TheMerricat: Luckily that one came assembled.
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat Neat. Government discounts for the win.
TheMerricat: I miss the novellas that games used to come with that set up the backstory for them. God those were fun reads.
BusTed: Like Rhythm Doctor
TheMerricat: Or the old minicomics that Atari 2600 games often came with.
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat I remember the cloth maps that some RPGs had.
Pandhora: @Boopity Maybe you could play as a little fox
Boopity: @Pandhora Brilliant!
BusTed: in the year two thousand...
Boopity:
Beej please do not wish on more crazy shit
ArtDecoSunburn: I assume they play Zager and Evans, "In the Year 2525."
TheMerricat:
I'm old enough to remember when movies and video games set in the future were dealing with the unknown horror of 1999.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Do you realize we are farther from the 80's than the 80's were from the 50's? Thanks BttF
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat 1999 as viewed from the 1970s was its own genre that decade.
TheCactaceae: There's a Chris and Jack sketch concerning those far future settings that's great
Akaiatana: 2015
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: back to the future now would be 1996!?
Juliamon: well, we did have "hoverboards"

ArtDecoSunburn: When I was a professor at a liberal arts college, they opened up a new $2million lab classroom with all those glass notation boards.
Geldaran:

TheMerricat: We are at the age where consoles should just become upgradeable bespoke PC's with their own BIOS.
Laserbeaks_Fury: That doesn't make money
TheMerricat: Consoles don't make money, on average. The games you make for them do.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Starfox 64
Laserbeaks_Fury: Wait, no, Starfox came with the rumble pak. I think it was Majora's Mask that had the memory upgrade
LordZarano: GameCube had like 3 ports on the bottom
Peter_Chordash: Donkey Kong 64 included it because it fixed a bug they couldn't solve without it if I recall correctly
Laserbeaks_Fury: I had a Miracle Keyboard

TheMerricat: The OG Gods of War were originally so fucking "LOOK AT ME I'M EDGY!"
Laserbeaks_Fury: The equivalent of cheking behind your spawn point
kingandcommoner: There should be a game that let's you, makes you miss the call to adventure, then keeps you stuck in the starting town doing menial tasks until you restart
TheMerricat: And for reference, the reason the question of 'will the remakes have the sex minigames' came up not because the ports had them removed, but because people were worried that 'remake' meant "making suitable for modern audiences"
TheMerricat: @kingandcommoner ORD.
Laserbeaks_Fury: GOLGO 13

Some PPR into W+P into this is a good weekend
TheMerricat:
@Thefluffiestguineapig POPULAR. Unsightly Flamingo. WOOP!
Thefluffiestguineapig: There are so many baffling things in this
Thefluffiestguineapig: WHY DID YOU MAKE A TRAILER AT ALL
TheMerricat: Because they needed interest to convince the board to OK the project.
OldUncleDan: Shoebox of liiiiiiiiiies!
Akaiatana: Shoebox of flies.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat So they were trying the "leaking the Deadpool concept trailer" approach? But that one was clearly half finished and actually leaked
Laserbeaks_Fury: I mean, you do concept art to generate interest in making a thing
Thefluffiestguineapig: So all the points that would generate interest WERE THE POINTS THAT WERE LIES
Laserbeaks_Fury: Because you don't want to ask those questions about peoples pets
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig So like I mentioned Elder Scrolls 6, it's not particularly surprising that game companies release a trailer well before the game ever is actually anything more than "Hello World" in reality. Plenty of games release trailers to hype up a crowd to convince someone to give them money to actually make the game.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Deer and squirrels "so gentle"
Laserbeaks_Fury: GRAINS....
Akaiatana: They'd eat zombie grass
jhmv: The zombie goes after the living because they lust for life
Juliamon: Cervanity?
JadedCynic: do human zombies go after humans for a reason or just because there's more people AT HAND than any other animal?
kingandcommoner: I heard somewhere that part of the reason a lot of movie trailers are so spoilery is because studios have been sued over stuff in the trailer not being in the final product
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat For me the difference there is Elder Scrolls as a concept is an established world, so even if certain specifics not present it's still in that world
TheMerricat:
Chat anyone remember the Dead Island Trailer?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat YUP the one that goes backwards with the sad music?
Juliamon: Todd Howard also openly regrets the ES6 teaser
TheMerricat:
@Thefluffiestguineapig Exactly.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner That seems odd to me because of the number of movies that still have trailers that have massive studio mandated reshoots
TheMerricat:
Chat, Beyond Good and Evil. 
LordZarano: Like a concept car
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Is it because now they have to make it on a timeline/have corporate pressure?
Laserbeaks_Fury:

Juliamon: I don't know, I'm not Todd
JadedCynic: oh, yeahhhhh
SocraticMethod: drift415?
Juliamon: Three Flying Things!
Thefluffiestguineapig: This could be any sci-fi thing
Laserbeaks_Fury: Is this a shoot em up
richard_ermen: Ace Combat 20999?
Thefluffiestguineapig: CIV 6?
TheMerricat:
Todd probably regrets the teaser because the Elder Scrolls community won't shut up about "Where's Elder Scrolls 6"
JadedCynic: yep
Thefluffiestguineapig: WHAT does that have to do with giant ships
Laserbeaks_Fury: Then a Sapce Hulk just shows up
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Sounds correct
JadedCynic: and the heavy ship combat was....sigh meh
Akaiatana: I played a little. It was neat
TheMerricat:
Oh another "we made the teaser before we even had a game" - Cyberpunk
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Then released it so poorly optimized we barely could tell where all the bugs were
TheMerricat: Halo Marketing has always been spot on.
TheMerricat:
I still miss "I love Bees"
SocraticMethod: Dreadnought lasted around 5 years: 2018-2023
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't mind teasers used to announce something is coming
TheMerricat: @SocraticMethod was it Multiplayer?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh I also hate that Heather
Boopity:
Also a teaser for a teaser shows you don't have anything to show 
SocraticMethod: @SocraticMethod Yeah, 3v3 or 5v5 IIRC
TheCactaceae: there's a cool thing at the centre of this cube
TheMerricat:
@TheMerricat Ah I just looked it up, it was a F2P.
Laserbeaks_Fury: They should have sent an artist. "We did."

it's _still_ fake color, but it's not 'random' fake color.

OldUncleDan: @ProcyonFlynn My thoughts exactly! The most Evil of Landfall!
Laserbeaks_Fury: So it's closer to a patron model
Thefluffiestguineapig: They made money hand over fist helping REPO
TheMerricat: Ah, the Sloths were the companies I was trying to remember hearing about... they were the Among Us devs that got so much money from Among Us that they opened a barebones publisher to help others out. I thought this sounded like deja vu.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Same
Laserbeaks_Fury: Team Cherry bought themselves seven years
Thefluffiestguineapig: The Sloths, Landfall, Team Cherry, the Hades people (I forget the team name) are all examples of staying small and just taking the time to do what you want with things

TheMerricat: @Decaped And I'm so excited for that. I have high hopes for them.
Thefluffiestguineapig: This seems like a much better model
Akaiatana: Canada also has Grants, and Jasons, and Susans.
Decaped: @TheMerricat me too! more robots with identity crises!
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Oddly enough, despite everyone saying it's Andrew McCarthy I can't find it in his portfolio. Also, I would argue that the colors are fake not false because he did quite lot of saturation/color editing to show it. False colors would be mapped instead.
TheMerricat: "I just wanted to make games, but now my job is being a business manager!"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat My comments were about the whole venture capital system, this also sounds super exciting
LordZarano: Like trying to get grants for Road Quest >_>
TheMerricat: NMS Pokemon!
accountmadeforants: Oh right they added the pokemon thing
BusTed:
TheMerricat: RIGHT after the Nintendo patent was invalidated.
TheAinMAP:
SymphonySolstice: love that for them
SquareDotCube: Space cockfighting
Akaiatana: (And creatures are procedurally generated, so it incentivizes exploring)
accountmadeforants: Are they actually making another game at this point or are they just rolling every idea they have into NMS? Surely everyone who wants NMS owns it at this point.
Boopity: @accountmadeforants Yeah, I am curious how things work for them, financially
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!)
Decaped: I thought they said they backported some things that didn't work in Light No Fire into NMS
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, I think it would be impossible to get them all like Heather said
Bruceski: The NMS people know they're allowed to stop, right?
accountmadeforants: Ben did play that one F2P Pokémon MMO beta where you could give your creatures hats, but they hadn't figured out how to anchor the hats to the right places yet so it looked *very* funny. (Especially the dung beetle thing, which just caused the hat to rotate around the ball)
Akaiatana: @Bruceski They are making/testing things for their next game and applying them to the ongoing project.
Boopity: -1 man's sky
TheMerricat:
By the story of NMS, I don't know they could make a NMS2.
Akaiatana: Dwarf Man's Sky
TheCactaceae: Light No Fire
Decaped: Light No Fire is VERY pretty
Thefluffiestguineapig: I think they're sort of working on a new game because people keep giving them grief
OldUncleDan: No Non-Binary Sky
LilyOfTheVeil666: They made The Last Campfire a few years ago
TheMerricat: I have a feeling Hello Games will be working on NMS up till the point where no one is buying the game any longer.
Decaped: This whole method is very similar to Path of Exile, they have 2 games now and make stuff that can be used in both.
Boopity: It's one of the wildest redemption arcs
TheMerricat: I don't know that NMS could have DLC, it's design sorta assumes that everyone has access to everything.
Akaiatana: FWIW, I enjoyed the game at release and got my money's worth. And then it just got better
Juliamon: They actually proved they were listening to the community, not just the loudest voices
JadedCynic: @Akaiatana same
TheMerricat: I have high hopes for Light No Fires, but I also worry that by the time it comes out - where NMS will be will mean that people will look at it and say "Is that all?"
SquareDotCube: I have to agree, I feel like games need to be smaller and way more focused
accountmadeforants:
The Last Campfire is currently on sale with a 90% discount btw 
BusTed: wow
JadedCynic:
These are the devs who put out a simple mobile game (and a sequel or two), and years after it was done and over, they got a fan letter that it wasn't compatible with newer phone o/s's anymore, so they stepped aside and updated the old game - and Danger Dan works even with today's phones
TheAinMAP:

TheAinMAP:
OldUncleDan: This is some Peter Molyneaux level hype here!
TheMerricat:
188 illustrations "that's it? That's all?!"
SocraticMethod: @jhmv They made quite a few series, but not the only ones. UBW, Zero, the HF movies
Territan: It was present!
jhmv: Beej is punchy today
TheMerricat: Apparently according to the internet they were huge in Japan in the 2000's-2010's. Over 30 million units sold.
TheMerricat:
Consumers _don't_ deserve. Companies _want_ it though. Free money if you can swing it.
accountmadeforants:
Oh, and Heather, apparently they *did* release a Tales of Berseria remaster two months ago
aerolend: It's their birthday. You give them presents.
OldUncleDan: Fandoms were a mistake.
SquareDotCube: Fans did get angry with the Chrono Trigger 30th anniversary
accountmadeforants: So maybe they should've just waited a few months with that
Territan: Fandoms are a natural consequence of having interesting things. *Engaging* with those fandoms is a mistake.
protojman: yall went so hard for the 20th I think you have a decade of goodwill
gualdhar: Rad Quest 2 25th anniversary edition
gualdhar: *Road
TheMerricat: @accountmadeforants Yeah, when I pulled up the american site for the series I noticed they had an entire section in the anniversary section labeled "Remake Project" which implies they are trying to modernize the games.
taliesinskye: We will be here as long as you're making things.
Getter404: Every year of Sentai or Ultraman is the anniversary of something
TheMerricat: @TheMerricat Remaster Project even.
kingandcommoner: Persona and KH already make us mad enough by not releasing the next game. A half assed anniversary celebration would just make it worse
aerolend: Anniverdary of anniversaries.
aerolend: *sary
TheMerricat: Overwatch is still making characters?
aerolend: Just 'meh'.
MTigress: onlyacquantances
TheMerricat: Chat, am I the only one who really just wanted the folk behind the old WoW and Overwatch cinematics and story to just 'break away' and start making movie/book stuff on their own instead of "Blizzard marketing"?
Getter404: Her own VA called it "Ozempic chic"
jhmv: have you seen the gif swaping the hairs?
accountmadeforants: She does have the Overwatch/Disney animation face for sure
accountmadeforants: (And F2P "come my liege" ad face, at that)
SquareDotCube: She looks like management got the note K-Pop Demon Hunters was absurdly sucessful
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod Oh that's amazing
jhmv: @SocraticMethod yeah that's the one LMAO
TheMerricat: "more confident pose"?!?!
MTigress: she looks slightly angy
kingandcommoner: bought some new tracts of land I see
SquareDotCube: You know what? She needs a scar.
Getter404: I assume they could only assign so much budget/developer time to this
aerolend: Dwayne the Rock Anran
protojman: why is she judging me
TheMerricat: So is this them 'selling out' or is this them basing every female character on the same base model?
SquareDotCube: Not a big scar, just a "got nicked in a fight" scar.
AshBurnem: Small indie company, please understand.
aerolend:
SymphonySolstice: give female characters eye bags and big noses you cowards
SquareDotCube: Overwatch could do with more Roman and Aqualine noses
Aceviru: I know nothing about ow or any characters but yeah, this a generic slop woman
Getter404: Hey, there was one (1) redhead girl
Aceviru: Hey tiktok proved that feeding people certain looks brings in the money
SquareDotCube: well at least it's not Bob Liefeld anatomy
JadedCynic:
Midge (Moose's GF) was shorter, with short RAVEN BLACK VERONICA hair...still had the SAME proportional build 
SocraticMethod: @SquareDotCube I think Ana and Pharah are the only ones? Moira does have a large nose, though
UnknownFriday: Rob Liefeld's anatomy is spot on and I won't hear anything against it.
Getter404: There's also less gorillas now, they've said they want all their characters to be more easily cosplayed so the Freaks are out (Jetpack Cat being the notable exception)
OldUncleDan: Orisa
JadedCynic: @UnknownFriday oh yeah. But what he *draws*, on the other hand....
kingandcommoner: I felf like the original run had a decent number of body types, but they kept getting more samey as time went on
ContingentCat: Centaur is a different body type yeah
jhmv: I feel the original Overwatch characters had more variety of bodies, but the newer ones are like, every other one is a generic teen girl
theamc2000: no
freyjaviking94: Orisa is built by a young teenager, right?
Boopity: Remember: Ryza Atelier's thighs symbolizes the strength of the Japanese economy
SocraticMethod: Mei was concepted as a tank so she had proportionally bigger silhouette
MTigress: of all things, Gran Turismo?
Getter404: Was this by the same marketing exec who came up with The Tester?
Decaped: More Tomodachi life characters talking about 9/11?
TheMerricat:
@freyjaviking94 "Jeff Kaplan has stated that the inspiration to design Orisa as a female robot came from criticism that the game's female characters lacked the visually challenging uniqueness that the male characters exhibited." - so...
ProcyonFlynn: Absolutely not doing a job interview to be free content.
Aceviru: A limited time asset nice
freyjaviking94: @TheMerricat Well I was thinking of in game lore wise, the robot was built by a young girl
ContingentCat: Given what the internet does I wouldn't want my likeness in a game
accountmadeforants: @Getter404 Is Overwatch still popular enough to get that much cosplay?
OldUncleDan: I want this Gran Turismo fan to show up in a Gran Torino (MHA) cosplay.
Getter404: @accountmadeforants No idea, haven't been to a PAX in like 9 years
TheMerricat:
@freyjaviking94 "Built by eleven-year-old genius Efi Oladele, Orisa was created to defend the city of Numbani from all threats." yes.
ContingentCat: Yup, no thanks
Boopity: Shoutouts to Dispatch for using pre-rendered cutscenes and thus avoiding this
MTigress: get scanned for Grant Turismo, end up getting killed in a God of War game 5 years later, and as a bored shop keeper in a random future RPG
Boopity: Because BOY would that game have so much porn of it
ghyllnox: @Boopity Would, yes. This is purely hypothetical and definitely has not occurred
Boopity:
@ghyllnox Okay, yeah, I admit I have seen people trying to straight up recreate the models
accountmadeforants: Oh no it literally just occurred to me that people would go to the bathroom while wearing their Apple headset thing
accountmadeforants: It's been however many years since the thing came out and it literally only just occurred to me
Boopity:
@accountmadeforants Wouldn't be a first for Desert Bus
accountmadeforants:
@Boopity I do remember that
accountmadeforants: But something about someone wearing their stupid VR headset to the bathroom is just very strange to me
TheMerricat: Value doing this officially is cool, but it should also be remembered that Moonlight is an open source implementation of Steam Remote and runs on... almost everything.
LordZarano: Steam Frame is gonna be ARM based, so that's partway there
fiinnnaaaaannnnnnnn: VR headset in bathroom is the logical evolution of headset in the bathroom
jhmv: so somebody on valve did it so they could play balatro on the down lown
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Moonlight is the client, Sunshine is the host side. (And it used to work with Nvidia's streaming thing before they killed that. Which was the original point of the client.)
TheMerricat: @accountmadeforants Right, wouldn't Moonlight be the thing that gets installed on the headset?
Boopity:
Boopity: *Gasp*
TheMerricat:
So not going to mention Gabe Newell talking about setting up ChatGPT for Valve Support...
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Right, just wanted to be specific, in that Moonlight doesn't let you stream things on its own.
Akaiatana: @TheMerricat When was this?
TheMerricat: @Akaiatana This week.
accountmadeforants: Just a leak for now, no clue if it's going to become a real thing
TheMerricat:
Though the story had legs and really what is going on is folk datamined stuff that indicates Valve might be thinking about using AI. As @accountmadeforants's link indicates.
Ashmantle:
dumbo3k: Thanks for having us

Juliamon: you made it for Rhythm Cafe at least SaxPython
SaxPython:
SaxPython: I get to watch going offline ads and going online ads. #Value
TheMerricat:
Well that was weird, Twitch correctly marked the stream as offline, then refreshed itself and marked it back online... even though the stream is... offline.
Juliamon: Twitch... Twitch never stops changing.
