mtvcdm: Iowa?!
Gekyouryuu: WEEKLY?!
mtvcdm: We moved to IOWA?
SymphonySolstice: damn no wonder it's so bleak
TheAinMAP: Yes.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Ogden sounds familiar
mtvcdm: Population 1,970
Strebenherz: Iowa isn't real
Gekyouryuu: I barely make more than $400 a week
mtvcdm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogden,_Iowa (okay, 2007 as per 2020 census)
InkAndFig: we have an ogden in YYC too and we’re landlocked
3and4fifths: The state bird is corn!
mtvcdm: We're not just Iowa, we are the dead-ass middle of small-town Iowa
TheAinMAP: I've been near Ogden, Iowa, but I don't think I've been to the actual town.
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh no, is this going to have procedural cursive?
mtvcdm: We're about an hour northwest of Des Moines
Pteraspidomorphi: I wouldn't pay more than $350/week for it
TXC2: this game made by someone who has never been in Iowa
MenomeAlice: Ahh, a game I could not play due to it not being UK postal address standard
mtvcdm: This building probably has more rooms than Ogden has people
ArtDecoSunburn: @Laserbeaks_Fury I've never heard it referred to by that name, and it's so fitting. It's like noir fraktur.
SymphonySolstice: maybe all of them live in this apartment building
Krektogar: Plattenbau is a word you could use, yes
TheMerricat: "Ogden is a small city in Boone County, Iowa, with a population of around 2,000, known for its small-town feel, historic pre-World War II architecture, and railroad history. It's part of the Boone Micropolitan Statistical Area and offers local amenities like a K-12 school district, a downtown area, and nearby recreational spots like Seven Oaks Recreation and Don Williams County Park. "
mtvcdm: (close enough you can just copy/paste that)
ArtDecoSunburn: This must be Don Williams Park.
MenomeAlice: Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is the third studio album, and only concept album by the English rock band Small Faces. Released on 24 May 1968,[2] the LP peaked at number one in the UK on the Record Retailer LPs Chart, where it remained for six weeks.[3] It became the group's final studio album during their original incarnation (and the last album to contain solely new material until the release of reunion album Playmates in 1977
TheMerricat: Chat why do I feel like we've just started Stanley's parable?
TXC2: niccus cursed, powerfully, powerfully cursed
jadielady: I'm working on return mail right now and this is surreal :D
mtvcdm: Rockfield, Wisconsin, meanwhile, is not a town that exists
chaos5896: @niccus Uuuuuuuuuuua
mtvcdm: Okay MOST of these towns do exist... Pringle, SD is population 109
chaos5896: Omg, it translates to Dory speaking whale
TheMerricat: Yeah, IIRC The post office actually gets upset if you type out full state names instead of the two letter abbreviation
jadielady: I'm working on returned tax forms for retirement accounts... so this just got even more surreal :D
LordZarano: @chaos5896 wwuuwuuwwa
mtvcdm: Oh, no, no, I found Rockfield, WI... it's a hamlet
couchboyj: That song is about the western part of Virginia, not West Virginia, btw. Which makes sense, no one would write a flattering song about West Virginia.
Strebenherz: NO HONOR
mtvcdm: Most of these towns are tiiiinyyyyyyyy
ArtDecoSunburn: There is a "dead letter detective" television series on the Hallmark Channel. They're all quirky, overly earnest old souls who reunite decades separated lovers.
MenomeAlice: @jadielady This entire stream has been a 10-year setup to say WE'RE WATCHING YOU
TXC2: "yall Motherfuckers need Kahless!"
ArtDecoSunburn: "Signed, Sealed, Delivered,"
LidofLoathing: @ArtDecoSunburn that sounds adorable
jadielady: @MenomeAlice indoor1OhNO
Pteraspidomorphi: Maybe it's UN-named, named after the union!
mtvcdm: 355 results
TheMerricat: Let's be realistic The university one would probably be the only one that actually used that type of name.
ArtDecoSunburn: @LidofLoathing It's set in Denver but clearly filmed in Vancouver. All the actors are Canadian soap opera staples.
Creideiki_SE: Good timezone, chat. I see we are playing a completely normal job simulator game. How many spoops are to be expected?
TXC2: what that top corner? IVAN? is that a clue?
xVoxtric: can you hit F3 to enter the auto suggest?
TXC2: hello Creideiki_SE there are apprantly some spoops to come
CaptainSpam: Wax sealed. Fancy, or at least meant to look fancy.
The_Voices: uhhhh
mtvcdm: Well ain't that some shit
Creideiki_SE: Thanks TXC2
DoodlestheGreat: noddles are even better than noodles.
CaptainSpam: Oh, yeah, this is from the city of The Back Of A Guy's Car And They're Fucking Incredible, the state of Liz. No zip code, though, that'll cost 'em.
7 raiders from Mightymur have joined!
TXC2: famous children’s show Noddles Kappa
TXC2: hello raiders!
mtvcdm: Hi raiders, we're transcribing letter bits in small-town Iowa
TXC2: like SMALL small town
Mightymur: #murraid! we just watched bobbing plastic ducks for a bit.
jadielady: heya @Mightymur !
mtvcdm: Ghost Town Road?
mtvcdm: Between southern California and Vegas
Mightymur: hey @jadielady !
TheMerricat: So since we're in a spoiled stream I'm just going to suggest, we were given our own address by the game....
Strebenherz: Oh no not Kansas city, it me
TXC2: I know it's on the east side of the river, but would it really be that hard to have all of Kansas city be IN Kansas? :p
hyalopterous: Yes, Kansas City is in Missouri, and also Kansas
Vinewood_OG: 11401*
dolphgrim: @Strebenherz No way me too! 😮
jadielady: oh I have a job aid for this
SymphonySolstice: I think this one's a bit fucked
hyalopterous: flip it
Strebenherz: @dolphgrim lrrBartleby
CaptainSpam: It would be a hilarious misdirect if this whole game WAS just this, with us never uncovering any existential government coverup or whatnot.
TXC2: I assume it's clearer for Cori and Cameron, 'cause that is illegible for me
mtvcdm: I can read it fine
NornsFelidar: sorry I’ve just tuned in. is this a game or captcha?
MenomeAlice: Are you supposed to be typing out the yellow? I thought it wanted any available address?
TXC2: CaptainSpam the truest horror: the shear mundanity of life
ArtDecoSunburn: @NornsFelidar Yes.
SymphonySolstice: bogos binted
hyalopterous: 285
TXC2: surely that's 285?
Vinewood_OG: Baggs is real
BraveOthello: The crazy thing is this is really close to how the real dead letters departments work
mtvcdm: Okay, so, checking these... the street addresses appear fake, thank goodness, that would be some real unfortunate doxxing of random folks... but the towns and accompanying zip codes are absolutely real.
Laserbeaks_Fury: This isn't the kind of game that would deliberately alter your inputs irregularly, is it?
mtvcdm: Baggs is real and 82321 is Bagg's actual zip code.
ArtDecoSunburn: @CaptainSpam And if in fact the game were funded as a way to get thousands of players to train image recognition models for alphanumeric characters.
TXC2: it's Wyoming, there's 4 people in the whole state, names don't matter :p
IanAllenBird: lmao
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 "That's Bob, in the southwest corner. He's Laramie. All of it."
Vinewood_OG: lrrSLOTH
Creideiki_SE: That barcode said "ARISE". Not ominous at all.
ArtDecoSunburn: Missoula is a lovely city.
DoodlestheGreat: They know what they did.
mtvcdm: !addquote (Ian and Cori, repeatedly) [now] I love government.
LRRbot: New quote #9568: "I love government." —Ian and Cori, repeatedly [2026-04-23]
TXC2: mtvcdm IAN and Cori?
Creideiki_SE: Also, I love that KDE Plasma's screenshot tool just automatically decodes any barcode it finds.
Wolfstrike_NL: Ian?
mtvcdm: Whoops
Pteraspidomorphi: This handwriting is so much nicer than mine
mtvcdm: Fixing that
Vinewood_OG: Do not shell the Hank
ArtDecoSunburn: That's Rte 811.
xVoxtric: Ste for 'suite'
TehAmelie: @ArtDecoSunburn Hank Wyoming, name and address
TXC2: very angular handwriting
ArtDecoSunburn: Or ste 811?
CaptainSpam: @ArtDecoSunburn And that all these are actually real envelopes the devs acquired by... means?
TheMerricat: @mtvcdm according to the guide I pulled up, there are set letters that have a specific address to them the rest are all randomized from a huge table that the game has. Including our own address.
Manae: 424?
mtvcdm: !modquote 9568 (Cameron and Cori, repeatedly) [now] I love government.
LRRbot: Modified quote #9568: "I love government." —Cameron and Cori, repeatedly [2026-04-23]
ArtDecoSunburn: @CaptainSpam Sometimes you have to engage in mail fraud to develop a game. Either that or the Postmaster General has ulterior motives.
hyalopterous: Whole lotta nothin
TXC2: it's so funny finding out that "baka" means "fool" :p
MenomeAlice: Why is that postcard of my parents having sex
NornsFelidar: careful reading that out loud, it might be a page from a spell book
Laserbeaks_Fury: 3d'oh547
TehAmelie: they have a L street and a R street
ArtDecoSunburn: @MenomeAlice We all got one. PTA fundraiser, apparently?
SymphonySolstice: well damn
Laserbeaks_Fury: *known*
mtvcdm: I believe that's true
Laserbeaks_Fury: Rbots have been assassinating people for years before that
TXC2: we gonna learn all 50 states and their abbreviations today
hyalopterous: First robot caught
TheMerricat: @loadingreadyrun may I suggest that when you get home you make another of your own address....
mtvcdm: I have heard that before
MTigress: unfortunately real, yes
TheMerricat: A note even
TehAmelie: Robot 15 is innocent!
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Reminds me of that great comedy bit about determining state two letter abbreviations.
TheMerricat: Or you can actually you know... Say a letter is for you.
mtvcdm: The subway of Ogden, Iowa
Laserbeaks_Fury: Don't eat the pencils, they'll make you go #2
TheMerricat: A little mail fraud

mtvcdm: The big-city subway of Hour Northwest Of Des Moines
NazTMann: @Laserbeaks_Fury What if I'm constipated?
CaptainSpam: Mmm, the Rumney Cut. Best part of a cow.
Laserbeaks_Fury: How long until we start finding *our* mail because we're DEAD
Laserbeaks_Fury: Press X to "PaY Respects"
TXC2: game is so dark
hyalopterous: Might wanna up the gamma
SquareDotCube: the contrast filter might be a tad too exaggerated
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!
TXC2: right chat I'm off
TXC2: goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Cori and Cameron
mtvcdm: (Fun fact: in Ogden, the post office is kitty-corner from the Ogden Farm and Feed Center. We are ostensibly taking the subway in this town.)
Juliamon: lmao
SymphonySolstice: we're taking the subway, as in, the restaurant
SymphonySolstice: cause it's the only one in town
mtvcdm: Ogden does not have a Subway restaurant
SymphonySolstice: damn
Juliamon: maybe it's called the Subway because there *used to* be a Subway restaurant
SymphonySolstice: right everyone just calls the building the subway even though there's a post office in it now
hyalopterous: Need a dang flashlight
mtvcdm: Ogden has a grand total of two restaurants, period: La Barra Mexican Food, and the Lucky Pig Pub and Grill.
Nihil_Vir: To be fair, I don't think we have to assume we're in Ogden just because that's where the company address is.
PipeSmokingOwl: there is in fact no Subway in Ogden but Boone, the next town to the east has 2!
niccus: we are so close to hl2 manhacks irl
hyalopterous: Yeah, their being used in the Ukraine war
Manae: Surely they will NEVER make a mistake thanks to their AI!
mtvcdm: I'm sure that meant nothing
gualdhar: just wait until the AI drones can eat organic matter to fuel themselves and make more ammo
Laserbeaks_Fury: Is this the same M from the Bahamas?
Sethalidos: why is Cori Swedish now?
SquareDotCube: uh no hyphen?
Laserbeaks_Fury: the Evangelion we have at home
mtvcdm: hey

SymphonySolstice: computer just doxxes your actual address
Juliamon: yeah, DDLC does that
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yes, it makes you delete your actual files
CaptainSpam: LoadingReadyRun, operating out of scenic Ogden, IA for over twenty years.
BraveOthello: I know want to see an episode of OOLC
hyalopterous: It's angled
MTigress: inb4 letters for mail time start showing up
SquareDotCube: could it be *our* address, and a previous tenant?
BraveOthello: Wait is Oki Oki Literature Club just the CYOA books stream?
SymphonySolstice: bad crackles
hyalopterous: Same address
BraveOthello: @gualdhar We had a whole game series about why this is a bad idea
MenomeAlice: Mail for Angines des Potines
SquareDotCube: could be a dead address
SquareDotCube: an un-updated registry
Juliamon: That seems odd, they are very... unique
Juliamon: I'm surprised they're popular, I guess the costumes go a long way
Laserbeaks_Fury: Is that addressed to Rakdos?
SymphonySolstice: fell into the Ooze

Boopity: Did the computer self-update to Windows 11 while we were away? Why all the bugs all of a sudden? Kappa
SquareDotCube: and not off-gassing furniture polish?

TheWriterAleph: they wrestle
tycoonbosh: physical/cultural are the branches
ContingentCat: social anthropology is th othr
KeytarCat: Stuff vs ideas
mtvcdm: Wiki: "Biological anthropology, also known as physical anthropology, is a natural science discipline concerned with the biological and behavioral aspects of human beings, their extinct hominin ancestors, and related non-human primates, particularly from an evolutionary perspective. This subfield of anthropology systematically studies human beings from a biological perspective. "
hyalopterous: No apostrophe in were
CaptainSpam: Forklift rave!
hyalopterous: Construction party!
SquareDotCube: does this mean the Village People are nearby?
iris_of_ether: HypeOho

Vinewood_OG: The G is the dumbest cursive letter
ContingentCat: capital Gs can be odd
KeytarCat: I understand most cursive letters, but not G
Gekyouryuu: I also recently saw a cursive G
mtvcdm: This person is 100% applying for a reality show via snail mail
Laserbeaks_Fury: Maybe it was the folks at Serano saying "Nah, these guys moved here"
hyalopterous: Insure you crocodilians!
KeytarCat: There's a bible story about burying talents, a currency, in the garden. I thought this guy buried talons...
SquareDotCube: Imagine getting junk mail ten years late
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think you'll find they are teeth faries
hyalopterous: This might be scarier if I could see what the heck things were.
Boopity: Considering the monitor, I assume this game takes place in the olden times, rather than <vaguely present day>?
Boopity: LUL
SquareDotCube: we got mail from 2015 earlier so no
ForOhForError: @Boopity there's like, 2010s dates on some of these iirc
Strebenherz: @Boopity look, nothing is more post office coded than the equipment being shit
Boopity: @ForOhForError Ah alright, thanks
Boopity: @Strebenherz See that's the one caveat I saw to that statement :D
TehAmelie: i like to say history is the study of the motion of humans in time, but then i'm not a professor
Anubis169: ehhhhhh
Strebenherz: @Boopity my brain's empty from just getting out of work, what do you mean?
tycoonbosh: Which one is ours again? Grey or gray or greigh?
hyalopterous: Jail is better that gaol
Gekyouryuu: Mortimer Smith, and his grandfather Richard Sanchez
KeytarCat: Mortimer the snail
ContingentCat: nobody else is like bob mortimrer
Laserbeaks_Fury: The way I remember is "Did Picard drink Earl Gray?"
Anubis169: OUCH
niccus: he makes money off it, so pretty good actually
Boopity: @Strebenherz As in: I assumed the old monitor meant this takes place in the past. Bu t I did think that it could also just be modern day in an office with bad outdated equipment
Vinewood_OG: As long as it's profitable I guess
TacitusVigil: Hey, Bashir and O'Brien would use the holosuites to escape the horrors of war by fighting at the Alamo and Battle of Britain!
BraveOthello: @Vinewood_OG The longer the series goes on the more clear it is Quark cares about some things more than profit
TacitusVigil: Esp. that time he became a literal arms dealer
Laserbeaks_Fury: Is this Fallout hacking?
hyalopterous: CAt on the keyboard
BraveOthello: He just can't admit it even to iimself
Strebenherz: @Boopity i mean past could def be possible but also yeah. just outdated stuff
Strebenherz: possible if not for like the more recent dates i mean
SquareDotCube: it's like Fallout hacking
Laserbeaks_Fury: (. )( .)
SquareDotCube: just find the closed parantheticals
BraveOthello: @Laserbeaks_Fury LISP?
Boopity: Peeing is probably a good idea considering the spoops are ramping up :D
Vinewood_OG: @SquareDotCube How many years did I not know about that? lrrLUL
tycoonbosh: Out of all possible superpowers, compulsory urination can't be the worst one.
BraveOthello: @tycoonbosh Power Word: Piss
tycoonbosh: @BraveOthello If I ever cast Suggestion again, it will likely take this form.
hyalopterous: @tycoonbosh You could kill someone via dehydratoin
BraveOthello: @tycoonbosh I have an enchanter wizard, I should use Command: Piss more often
tycoonbosh: @hyalopterous At an extreme, sure, but also it could diffuse situations, distract people, and so on.
hyalopterous: Have some static
mtvcdm: Well that's some advice
Boopity: Somehow this game found a way to do the classic horror game crime of "game so dark you can't even see the damn thing you're supposed to be scared of" :D
CaptainSpam: Sorry, The Void, we don't have a phone here. What if you gave us an address? We're good with those.
Laserbeaks_Fury: nah I could see
hyalopterous: @Boopity IKR
ForOhForError: we saw it

TacitusVigil: So pretty much just real life.

RealGamerCow: Secretly how I want to go
SnackPak_: noted
MTigress: yeah this one is incredibly horrific and you don't want that information in your head
Strebenherz: @RealGamerCow lrrSPOOP
Laserbeaks_Fury: The dramatic recreation of it in Alien 4
TacitusVigil: Or, or, hear me out...don't look up anything about this at all.
SymphonySolstice: oh I thought that was gonna be the image lmao
Laserbeaks_Fury: You can't fool me, that's a Big Daddy
TehAmelie: eight atmospheres? i can't imagine that would be very instant :x
TheWriterAleph: You Edcvb My Gurgn
Boopity: Not the haunted captcha LUL
Laserbeaks_Fury: Everybody Rock your body
Vinewood_OG: Riiiight.....
niccus: are you?
CaptainSpam: The end.
Boopity: The ghost wants to make sure you're human before it haunts you
CaptainSpam: @Boopity The ghost's made THAT mistake before...
SymphonySolstice: did we died
Strebenherz: Cam do you need hopsital
IanAllenBird: that's nice of it, wouldn't want there to be some sort of ghost in a machine
SymphonySolstice: that's just what iowa feels like I hear
TacitusVigil: I was about to leave, but have to leave a final approval of any Star Trek IV reference.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I haven't heard that test pattern tone in a long ass time
Laserbeaks_Fury: The mysterious 27th letter
CaptainSpam: I'm calling it, one of those it'll ignore whatever you select and write the letter itself.
IanAllenBird: incense stuck in a bowl of rice
Laserbeaks_Fury: Gotta cover up the smell of our body
Boopity: This is fine
hyalopterous: lrrFINE
CaptainSpam: This is not a very well-designed promotional video from the Ogden, IA tourism department.
BraveOthello: I leave for 10 minutes and come back to some kind of horror?
CaptainSpam: What's the timeframe of this game? Remote work might not be feasible.
mtvcdm: If we can work from home can we not work from home in Ogden
Boopity: @BraveOthello Oh don't worry, our eyesight just started cracking on the way to work that day :)

mtvcdm: Antarctic expeditions tend to start from Ushuaia
CaptainSpam: We are reading about someone chasing penguins, ghost! Knock it off!
IanAllenBird: M seems like they're the only one having a good time in this game
RealGamerCow: Yeah that tends to be a rough passage
Boopity: I just noticed: our monitor is... polka-dotted? Is that supposed to be tape? Is that how they "fixed the tech issues"?
aClonedPickle: next?
IanAllenBird: huge brain
