Juliamon: I think that was the brunt of it, this week shouldn't be nearly as intense
SaxPython:
accountmadeforants: Yeah they finished the game last time, there might still be some things to find, but nothing quite like that.
SaxPython:
LordZarano: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Rhythm Cafe (Heather and Ian continue their never-ending quest to play ALL THE RHYTHM GAMES! Game: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33) at Sun 04:00 PM PDT (0s from now).

BraveOthello: If it's not from the Paris region of France it's just sparkling melty tower

BraveOthello: soon?
An anonymous user gifted a Tier 1 sub to rocketpropelledgrenade!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, rocketpropelledgrenade! (Today's storm count: 3)
accountmadeforants: I just noticed how the R in the Rhythm Café logo looks like a weird lil guy
accountmadeforants: Ground loops, my mortal nemesis
Juliamon: The lighter port, yeah
e_bloc: no that was the original name
SaxPython: Suddenly Bioshock
accountmadeforants: Come on over to the Netherlands, we have bicycle, and infrastructure designed by sane people.
UtilityPunk: Owning a car means many repairs if you trust other drivers
UtilityPunk: And repairs are $$$
accountmadeforants:
(Home still expensive, though 
)
SaxPython: !gant
LRRbot: GANT GANT
PharaohBender27: First and worst car accident I was in was as a teenager when I took a turn signal as being genuine.
accountmadeforants: Okay but a HOTAS car would be kinda sick
Dread_Pirate_Westley: We're done, so let's play more of it.
SquareDotCube: less "hate", more "fatigued"
SAJewers: "I'm Not People" - Heather 2026
Laserbeaks_Fury: E:33 just turned 1 year old
Dread_Pirate_Westley: SMB3 did it one better and made it so you didn't even have to walk forward before you couldn't go back.
e_bloc: time for e 34
UtilityPunk: This was a sleeper hit, but excellent
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah I think I was still deep in Blue Prince
Juliamon: Skong
Dread_Pirate_Westley: Hades 2 was also September.
UtilityPunk: Aminal Crossing?
Juliamon: there were just SO MANY games
Juliamon: jfc
e_bloc: just in case maybe we should crowdsource another trip
RatherLargeToad: need to wait for Purple Prince for that
PharaohBender27: Ohai Nvidia overlay
seanmrwick: wait....there's a Rhythm component to Expedition 33? I'm apparently today year's old realizing this
RockPusher: I have seen Blue Prince successfully played with a chill chat keeping their mouths shut
SaxPython:
TheMerricat: Was perhaps the 'other' game Hades 2?
RockPusher: we had a discord channel to shout about how close the streamer was
seanmrwick: I thought the Rhythm part of this was trying to parry the attacks
e_bloc: Beej's bathtub roundup is due in the end of May
accountmadeforants:
@seanmrwick If they can play Pokémon on ITYC Rhythm Café can stretch the truth a bit, too 
(I think the excuse was the parrying/dodging mechanic)
seanmrwick: @accountmadeforants @accountmadeforants ok, that makes a lot of sense
adept_nekomancer: A game with banger music that has strong input timing elements seems close enough to a rhythm game for me.
NotCainNorAbel: true true
e_bloc: I think the first couple years of ITYC showed that rules regarding content of shows are largely subjective
accountmadeforants: I've let that thing live, it's too pretty to die
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh no, it's still just Verso
adept_nekomancer: I didn't discover roadquest until around the summer of 2020, and it was a bright spot during the lockdown times for me.
NotCainNorAbel: I see no lies
SaxPython: is this fight effectively a FF7 Weapon?
PharaohBender27: @NotCainNorAbel Nor do I
RockPusher: I am uncomfortable that those descriptions seem accurate
KingOfDoma watched 3 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
Hi. That is all.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I don't think it's quite a slog as a Weapon Fight, but similar idea
SaxPython:
e_bloc: and that was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 post-game
UtilityPunk: I guess last time you were on was a LRR challenge run?
Micalovits: I did far to much before the final battle, made it... VERY easy
SaxPython:
No Swim Swim? 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Who in this game could possibly have Esquie's rock
accountmadeforants: I grinded a bit when I found there was a source for infinite lumina points, but eventually gave up and figured I never really needed it. Parrying too stronk.
accountmadeforants: The boys the boys the boys
LordZarano: April 2025 was indeed stacked. 8th South of Midnight, 10th Blue Prince & Promise Mascot Agency, 17th Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, 22nd Oblivion Remastered, 23rd Sunderfolk, 24th Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, 29th Forza Horizon 5, May 1 Despelote
accountmadeforants: I feel like FH5 is older than that as well?
LordZarano: Oh sorry that's the PS5 port, so scratch that
accountmadeforants: 9 November 2021. 29 April 2025 was the PS5 port
accountmadeforants: Okay yeah
UtilityPunk: Only Esquie can make a world-class grouch like Francois happy
sephiiiroth2: This boss is so easy
Laserbeaks_Fury: How many AP does he have to eat before he gets tummy hurt
e_bloc: itll probably be a hot minute before i find the time and gumption to play this game, but damn is it beautiful
SaxPython: 100%
sephiiiroth2: Just get more luminas that generate ap
accountmadeforants: @e_bloc Oh yeah it's stunning
e_bloc: fire was describe by albert einstein as the 8th wonder of the world. or maybe it was compount interest. i get the m a bit conflated
Laserbeaks_Fury: Farmer

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!)
Navi_Louise42: She strikes me as a Fushigi balls on the beach type
ErynTzun: I used to have a job where we sold them so I would stand out front playing with them.
Laserbeaks_Fury: That's how she reaps the fields
SaxPython:
e_bloc: a veto by the adults and probably exactly what the children want to glomp onto
Laserbeaks_Fury: here we go
ErynTzun: The manipulation of the devil stick (also devil-sticks, devilsticks, flower sticks, bâtons fleurs, stunt sticks, gravity sticks, or juggling sticks) is a form of gyroscopic juggling or equilibristics, consisting of manipulating one stick ("baton", 'center stick') between one or two other sticks held one in each hand. The baton is lifted, struck, or stroked by the two control sticks ('handsticks', 'sidesticks', or 'handles'), stabilizing the baton through gyroscopic motion.
Navi_Louise42: Fushigi Yugi, the real OG's
Laserbeaks_Fury: He got tummy hurt
ArdCollider: I don't waaaant that Ian
Juliamon: Actually...
Navi_Louise42: As long as it's not Ceres.
Navi_Louise42: Yuu Watase hates her readers
ArdCollider: (starts mentally chanting "Shin Ginga Eiyū Densetsu" to fend this horror off)
ErynTzun: Yeah I'm not sure if I could watch Fushigi Yugi now if they did like they did with Ranma and not really update the story
ArdCollider: LOL
accountmadeforants: That's SO GOOD
RockPusher: I mean, that seems accurate
Navi_Louise42: So Star Trek is Anime then?
Sky_Kast: holà y'all
accountmadeforants: Oh and Shin Super Mario Bros. of course
Navi_Louise42: There was an OOC Mange where Kirk ends up starting the Borg by sending an android queen back in time.
Sky_Kast: man that's a chess piece to me
ErynTzun: They used the word "New" in the directs so I don't think so
ErynTzun: let me check
ErynTzun: New Nintendo 3DS Also known as New Nintendo 3DS XL (LL model, in Japan)
accountmadeforants: @ErynTzun Aw booooo
accountmadeforants: (But I suppose that does explain the name a bit, Japan does do the "English word to make it sound fancier/different" thing.)
ErynTzun: @accountmadeforants I know, could make it cool instead of using boring English loanwords
accountmadeforants:
Which means that really it should still have been called the Shin Nintendo 3DS *outside* of Japan 
ErynTzun: The Nintendo Wii could have been cooler if they used the Codename for it instead, which was Revolution.
putz12a: The Switch: Another Story?
accountmadeforants: The Wii U would've succeeded if it was called the Wii Gaiden instead
ErynTzun: The Switch 2's Codename was "Ounce"
chaos5896: The Nintendo Switch Genesis
accountmadeforants:
Could've gone with the Layer 3 Switch (A.K.A. Router) instead
ErynTzun: I thought it was Nintendo Adjacent
PharaohBender27: Only saw the Live today, and I will say my reaction was "Aren't the Sonic games Sega, though?"
accountmadeforants: I don't think it was Primarily Nintendo yeah
adept_nekomancer: I was most amused by the "Does Captain Falcon have hair" conundrum.
accountmadeforants: Either Nintendo Adjacent or "Appears in Nintendo games"
Dog_of_Myth: That reminds me that I need to watch last night's live.
ErynTzun: In the US it was continued very early March 31, 2001
ErynTzun: I worked for EB Games during that time, and one of my employees collected Dreamcasts. There are so many more Japanese Dreamcasts than US.
ErynTzun: I have several homebrew Dreamcast games, and important some Japanese games becasue there was so much we didn't get so many here.
ErynTzun: *imported
ErynTzun: Yeah they've been doing that for years
LordZarano: Discontinued worldwide March 31 2001. But it was released a year earlier in Japan, November 27 1998
ArdCollider: she's not tall enough!
adept_nekomancer: He's free to be wrong.
accountmadeforants: Homebrew games for old consoles are *so* cool. James Lambert's stuff is especially impressive.
ErynTzun: Pretty typical to release consoles earlier in Japan
ArdCollider: if Cooking Mama was related to Lady Dimitrescu I think that convo would have been different.
accountmadeforants: (The man recently made an open world game on the N64 with a massive map and no loading zones.)
ErynTzun: Is Mama not already married? lol
ErynTzun: I don't know the lore
accountmadeforants: (He's also the Portal N64 guy before that got too legally iffy)
accountmadeforants: Cooking Mama is all of our Mamas, the platonic ideal of a Mama. The Ur-Mama
ErynTzun: o7
ErynTzun: My Mother is also too short though hahaha
SaxPython:
ErynTzun: The one thing I miss about boxed PC games is the shortcut cards that came with some of them.
ErynTzun: And well the cool maps that came with RPGs
Laserbeaks_Fury: "protective" bubbles
Micalovits: I LOVE how the gradiant attacks make you realize how much parrying is wort, jumping also in a way
Laserbeaks_Fury: She choose DOWN
Laserbeaks_Fury: Adam beat Sprong *before* the Paintress Fight
Micalovits: Isn't that the Monoco music?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Meaning he did it with the 9999 limit
Juliamon: Adam also beat Radahn with whips and is a double Boshy. That's just Adam.
Laserbeaks_Fury: No, Monoco's theme starts with the "bow wow wow wow"
PharaohBender27:
Laserbeaks_Fury: on the East side
Micalovits: East side on ground, you can swim to him early ish
Laserbeaks_Fury: it's a little area with a cave
Micalovits: Think it is slightly west of here? Maybe north of the flying snake thing
accountmadeforants:
@Laserbeaks_Fury He was also trying to do it right at the start of Act 2, but we did tell him where to get the Jarum eventually
Micalovits: Bouncy time!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Who's that guy with the Big Head
PharaohBender27:
@Laserbeaks_Fury Big head, biiiigg heeeaad
Micalovits: He just does that
Micalovits: When you parry him enough
paronomasiac042: grosse tete dies after a while
chianeko: He just bounced
Laserbeaks_Fury: yesh if he does it enough and just dies
Serpens77: that's how it goes. You just have to parry enough until he blows himself up
UtilityPunk: He gave up. You're too good
chianeko: Did you do the dlc already?
UtilityPunk: I love that this game has bizarre minibosses and refuses to elaborate
Micalovits: He plays golf sometimes
SenkushaRaijin subscribed at Tier 1.
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, SenkushaRaijin! (Today's storm count: 4)
e_bloc: you know you want to hit that
e_bloc: u2?
Territan: Lazy hitboxes.
e_bloc:
Micalovits: I should finish blue prince at some point... But damn some of the endgame things in that game are frustrating
UtilityPunk: They had to cut a couple corners to make everything else so good. Map was the main place it happened
UtilityPunk: Battle jazz
SaxPython: maybe it was the buff expidition
Navi_Louise42: "Ultimate" to them is just shorthand for "Our latest attempt"
SaxPython:
UtilityPunk:
As opposed to their penultimate 
e_bloc: rubbin makes me feel good
ErynTzun:
Is this the Only Up portion of the game 
e_bloc: a la bustin

SaxPython: Tilty house on Tilt
SaxPython: @Juliamon lol I have no idea
SaxPython: New Ian sound dot wav
Juliamon: what's the point of collectables if you don't collect *all* of them
Juliamon: agreed Heather tbh, I 100%'d Mario Odyssey not because I wanted all the outfits but because I wanted excuses to keep playing
GhostValv: o7
Juliamon: So anyway
Juliamon: Heather Hard Mode
Territan: Has there ever been a game with the goal/objective "I peed on 100% of everything"?
Juliamon: Territan I wouldn't be surprised if My Summer Car does
Serpens77: @Territan probably some game where you paly as a dog?
accountmadeforants: @Serpens77 I suspect Dog's Life may have have that objective yeah
public_key_reveal_party: @Territan arguably powerwash simulator
accountmadeforants: *have had
Serpens77: Gordon Freepee
LordZarano: @public_key_reveal_party By that logic Mario Sunshine
ArdCollider: Splatoon kind of is metaphorical for 100% dousing of surfaces.
niccus: arguably De Blob
RockPusher:
ArdCollider: Titanium Court has a match-3 showering minigame.
UtilityPunk: Death Stranding being notably first to that answer
GhostValv: clench activated
public_key_reveal_party: also arguably splatoon
accountmadeforants: Peeing was solved in Duke Nukem 3D, can't believe we've fallen so far
public_key_reveal_party: I love this game but it's engine is really not built for platforming

ArdCollider: the Agency Tower climb in the first Crackdown just was not doable for me
ArdCollider: technically capable but fear of heights too great
accountmadeforants: I did this level with Maelle just because she felt marginally easier to platform with
GhostValv: D:
ErynTzun: Yeah there's a PC and Switch Demo

The Jesters Who Gesture
RockPusher: Thank you Ian, thank you Heather
Strebenherz: Alex possibly?
ErynTzun: Wasn't it Alex?
ErynTzun: ahh yes hehe
Juliamon: Ben confirmed he was ARAM ready
ArdCollider: forklane-certified
RockPusher: Heather making Graham vamp while Heather watches
Vinewood_OG: Same guest, rotate hosts. Innovation.
SquareDotCube: come armed with arts and crafts
RockPusher: Look, Graham lost to Baxter, I'm sure Heather can take him
SquareDotCube: throw a wrnech in their plans, even if its literal
RockPusher:
Juliamon: yeah that was SH
ErynTzun: Yeah same, looks like fun but scary games not fun for me.
HorusFive: Does it make sense? Does It?
e_bloc: very much a dog ending thing
Juliamon: Oh. Oh boy.
Vinewood_OG: ooooh
ErynTzun: It's a Cozy Sim
Serpens77: AC is "cosy chores"
Vinewood_OG: hobbitcore
Vinewood_OG: Snare traps!
ErynTzun: There are certainly also a lot of garbage shooters too, so many on garbage day
Strebenherz: it's chernobyl's 40th anniversary, so there might be something related to that
e_bloc: sounds irratiating\
HorusFive: The more of Alex is between you and the source- the less of an issue for one of you
e_bloc: hows the iodine budget
Vinewood_OG: "Mine's in the shop."
omdorastrix: Several inches of lead or a 5-gallon bucket of water
SaxPython:
Powers!
