e_bloc: whats up
SaxPython: I'm a late switcher to new games. I'm still playing civ6. Discord said you we're playing civ7. I know my socials didn't love 7 on release. Are you enjoying it? Would you recommend it?
e_bloc: a lot of it is essentially the same as Civ 6, but the two major differences are they separate the three ages with a sort of break in between, and also there is an ending date based upon civilization progression, so the first age ends at a certain time, and then the final age will also end eventually if no one has completed a victory condition
e_bloc: you also change civilizations (or you can, I think they made it so you don't have to) between ages, which can be odd, or interesting
e_bloc: for me, it was the games of Civ 6 where you essentially have won but have t to wait for the final project to complete that I didn't love
e_bloc: so knowing that the final age isn't going to take like 1000 turns is nice in that respect
e_bloc: I think for most people, whether they enjoy or dislike the game is probably rooted around those three tings
e_bloc: *things
SaxPython: <3 thanks. I'm not buying it until a sale, but I have it wish listed.
e_bloc: probably a wise decision
e_bloc: no problem. any time
SaxPython: one minute warning for !nexters
Earthenone: lrrSIG
TehAmelie: lrrSIG
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, not me. I'm trying to make myself do more things because I have to since I was super productive this morning
Thefluffiestguineapig: How was this game last week?
SaxPython: PogChamp
e_bloc: game is really good
e_bloc: rpg-y and pun heavy
Juliamon: very, very pun-heavy
paronomasiac042: !game good
Thefluffiestguineapig: So Ian's favorite kind of RPG then
e_bloc: @Juliamon maybe majority punny
Juliamon: but if it weren't, we wouldn't have the Weird Owls, and that would be sad
e_bloc: yeah if it had mahjong and darts he would never play anything else
e_bloc: oh I forgot about the Weird Owls, that was a stroke of genius
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Is it just me or is there no audio?
DideRobot: LRR: Heather and Ian are back to playing more People of Note! | We also have a couple of codes to give away during the stream. | #PeopleofNote was a #gift supplied by Annapurna for us to stream | https://twitch.tv/LoadingReadyRun (has image) | https://kind.social/@LoadingReadyRun/116552762373463510
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't have any audio
definenull: lrrSI
e_bloc: no audio y et
Juliamon: Audio is live
paronomasiac042: audio live
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok now I do
e_bloc: I guess someone heard us
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh, has anyone else been seeing those pop ups for what they clearly are trying to make replace the stream streaks? The weekly whatevers?
definenull: Oh yeah
SaxPython: yup
e_bloc watched 105 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
lrrHERE lrrHERE lrrHERE lrrHERE lrrHERE
PharaohBender27: I don't believe I have
definenull: I kinda... ignore em?
Thefluffiestguineapig: The amount I DO NOT CARE and also the fact I cannot just say "snooze forever" is frustrating
e_bloc: oh I don't pay attention to that
RandomTrivia: Hi friends! lrrHEART
putz12a watched 3 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
PharaohBender27: I generally ignore anything that isn't my subversary notification
e_bloc: what you don't like annoying "features" you can't turn off?
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig It's in addition to them because no one really cared about bragging rights for long watching streaks.
Dog_of_Myth: Good evening all.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat -.- I can't even
e_bloc: I honestly don't know why they thought people would want to know what their "streak" is
definenull: Oh great more ways for chat to go 'notice me streamer' \hj
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Let's goooo
e_bloc: I'm well aware that I keep chat open on my third monitor, you don't have to remind me
Juliamon: Streaks also weren't even accurate
sleepyfelix: lrrGibb
TehAmelie: hello!
definenull: lrrGibb
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Some streamers make a huge deal about it and it makes me so tired. The only ones I like are the streamers where it is a joke about how long and pointless it is
TheMerricat: Look chat, Amazon has to make money off Twitch, and for that to work they need to ensure the parasocial relationship between streamer and chat is unbreakable.
TehAmelie: you're telling us you improvised that shirt?
definenull: You have shirts specifically for improv? Are they performance enhancing?
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Ian in a turtleneck and chain would look fly.
ErynTzun: oh hai bbirbSkelly
Earthenone: yeah i keep chat open so its a huge streak, i click it when it pops up sometimes for the free doLRRs on the off chance they ever do anything :P
e_bloc: twitch, my friend, I can do parasocial all by myself, I don't need help
RandomTrivia: What you're saying is... Rhythm Cafe maid outfit...

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!)
e_bloc: ngl channel points are also useless
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Earthenone For the times the mod wants to do the gamboling on things
TheMerricat: @Earthenone So many doLLRS, outside of sim games, it's the only riches I have. :D
ErynTzun: When I worked food service we wore visors and still had to wear hairnets.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc The only channel they matter on is Serge for the wheel and it doesn't really matter, it's just funny
ButButTheJesus: the tiniest "hellooooo"
Megaparsec256: if you give a paul a cookie
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Megaparsec256 He might ask "whacha want"
Strebenherz: can't say i have
ShaneLeeAtk: Here here
Dog_of_Myth: Never had one
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig yeah like I guess there is functionality for them, but of the streams I watch maybe 1 or 2 actually do anything with them
Juliamon: Never appealed
e_bloc: I had a dozen raw last weekend
ButButTheJesus: no they seem yucky
paronomasiac042: i can't say a rock full of snot looks appealing
Strebenherz: i'm in the middle midwest ian
Thefluffiestguineapig: VERY
Getter404: On a coast, STILL no
Dog_of_Myth: Midwest here
e_bloc: I like them briny and small
247Gremlin: I like a good oyster+hot sauce
spethycakes: the middest west
Hedonistic_Mushroom: My country is ALL coastline. I prefer clams to oysters
PharaohBender27: I'm not that far from a coastline, but the idea of just slurping them down is very unappealing.
Juliamon: I'm close enough to the Atlantic that I could probably get them
RandomTrivia: Never, and had many summer and winter holidays to seaside
shendaras: The wheel?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I also only tried them as a child and then didn't try them again for contentious consumption reasons
e_bloc: if you count the chesapeake bay (which has pretty good oysters usually) about 1 hr. to the atlantic? about 3 hours
Hedonistic_Mushroom: The wheel of getting shot...
Dog_of_Myth: The Wheel lrrBartleby
definenull: Punishment? Upupupu
Thefluffiestguineapig: Their wheel is also now requiring a login

e_bloc: Heather likes premeditation
RandomTrivia: Implying that Heather isn't already a vengeful god
TehAmelie: the Bothnia sea might not have oysters. i've never seen them anyway
Strebenherz: going by google maps, i'm twelve hours from the closest ocean :P
Thefluffiestguineapig: Heather is already an angry and vengeful god ian
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Ah... The Christian God...
e_bloc: Adam is committing 3rd degree banning, Heather is doing 1st degree
RatherLargeToad: Like the Incredible Hulk
e_bloc: and Ben has stockholm syndrome
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc And denies he calls it banning
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig yeah I suppose timing out is more accurate
ErynTzun: Midwesterner here, my grandfather was a fisherman so I'm really sick of any kind of fish. I've been a vegetarian for decades now it's much easier to tell people I'm not eating that.
RandomTrivia: HypeLUL
Dog_of_Myth: lrrLUL
e_bloc: I've gotten shot a few times
Vinewood_OG: The Rhythm is going to get you
definenull: PrideLaugh
Strebenherz: look retail is just selling your body
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc I think they've only gotten me once?
Strebenherz: one way or another
definenull: And eat the rich?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Correct Ian
Vinewood_OG: Damn right
Dog_of_Myth: Heck yeah Ian
the_tarabyte: lrrCREEPL lrrCREEPR <3
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sharpen the guillotines?
Strebenherz: having talked to a prior sex worker, in their opinion, retail customer service was more demeaning if anything
public_key_reveal_party: All correct, I just love the idea of a rhythm cafe pre-flight checklist
e_bloc: I think I got three on the day Adam was consumed by madness, and once on FNPF for making an observation about the game that in retrospect was pedantic
ButButTheJesus: when I close this tab do Ian and Heather cease to exist
spethycakes: @e_bloc just the one day?
e_bloc: I any%ed it, ctrl-alt-del only
TehAmelie: wait, do these musicians have only one note?
Juliamon: hashtag not technically sponsored
LordZarano: I liked the cupboard ending! /stanleyparable
RandomTrivia: Oooh
SaxPython: Sponsled
definenull: ooh
Dog_of_Myth: Oh, that's cool
e_bloc: @spethycakes fairly certain, it was my mistake, they request not to make observations like the one i made
Thefluffiestguineapig: If you've been in Ian's head, seek help
definenull: I didn't know BGC worked on this!
calculated_uncertainties: Cheer100 Cheer1 Cheer1
Hedonistic_Mushroom: I grew up not having family consoles. I had no idea what a memory card was. When I got a Ps1, I didn't know saving your progress was a thing.
e_bloc: please do not good 'spread his love for him'
e_bloc: *google
spethycakes: @e_bloc OH, I was unclear! I meant 'Adam was consumed by madness for just the *one* day, singular?' fully knowing the stream you're talking about with DoomWheel
dimeadozent: does love spread like butter or more like a jam?
Hedonistic_Mushroom: @e_bloc That sounds unsanitary
Juliamon: Hedonistic_Mushroom Same... I was lucky my birthday is so soon after Christmas, I only had to replay the first couple hours of FF7 for a month or two
e_bloc: @spethycakes oh hahaha yeah. the 2 hour timing out stream. I think I even paid for one of the bullets that got me
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc That seems correct
e_bloc: if there's a way to see your own history of mod actions I have no idea
Thefluffiestguineapig: I managed to dodge every single bullet and was there for that entire stream (the Adam Madness Wheel)
spethycakes: @Thefluffiestguineapig yes, that also seems correct to me, as a narrow avoider of the timeout hammer (and also a person who paid for more wheel)
Boopity: You did, in fact, have a belated realization on Whirls' Generation last stream as well :D
Thefluffiestguineapig: The second one probably
adept_nekomancer: It's polite to flush your memory after using it. More sanitary that way. lrrLUL
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig I think you have a lot more protect in the t's
LeeshaJoy: I can't log into Pump19, it says my browser's not compatible?
definenull: Chat lacks stream permanence unless it's in the highlights
e_bloc: honestly I was hoping to get timed out eventually, it's like a badge of honor
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc You are also very present in Seachats as opposed to me where I barely pop in

ContingentCat: Both.
ContingentCat: singing his standup
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig fair, generally if I'm not asleep or at work I have something lrr-related on a monitor somewher
Hedonistic_Mushroom: @Juliamon My sister bought us FF8 and she was really hyped to play it for herself but she didn't know saving your game either. She rage quit after our progress reset after the Ifrit boss fight after we pressed the power button.
RandomTrivia: Auto-ducking clubs would be great
ButButTheJesus: WHAT?
e_bloc: thats every club for me
Hedonistic_Mushroom: That's every club I've been in
ErynTzun: Can't hear you WHAT WHAAAAT
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Since I hang out in the Ben home stream more I think that makes me safer, the Seachats mainstays are absolutely big flashing neon sign targets
Boopity: I have never been able to talk in a club
adept_nekomancer: I have enough stream permanence to make references to specific obscure things from streams years ago (like "What about the pigeon, Mozart"?)
e_bloc: also I'm a pretty low talker so I can't ommunmicate
ErynTzun: Go in the bathroom where you can sort of hear people
RandomTrivia: HypeLUL Amazing
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig well Adam's often the one pulling the trigger
Thefluffiestguineapig: PERFECT
PharaohBender27: I went to a college Homecoming dance once that had club-level volumes, and decided never again
e_bloc: you go to the club and open discord to talk to each other
exeJayce: oh god clubs. such a nightmare.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc Not always, but he is very much driving the bus off the cliff of increasing escalation levels and Ben actually feels guilt about it
adept_nekomancer: We need more bee hats
247Gremlin: I have not been to a club since before Discord was launched.

Juliamon: spethycakes She's holding it backwards
e_bloc: "I want to play a game"
spethycakes: @Juliamon Confusing artistic choice, in my opinion
247Gremlin: You go full Mos Eisley
e_bloc: do you have orders
Boopity: Intense
Thefluffiestguineapig: Not necessarily Ian, joints are not as easy to cut through as movies have made you believe
TehAmelie: finally, this looks like a job for Arm-Fall-Off Boy
e_bloc: during the occupation of Africa by the belgians, conscripted soldiers had to bring back a hand for every bullet they shot to show they did not waste or hide bullets
Boopity: Ummm was she floating that whole conversation?
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Go Kotetsujin Jeeg. Dislocate at the shoulder and use your arm as a cudgel
PharaohBender27: Specificially the occupation of the Congo
e_bloc: lrrWOW
e_bloc: it also resulted in a lot of live people getting their hands chopped off
e_bloc: because believe it or not, not every shot kills someon
TehAmelie: kind of an aggressive glomp
PharaohBender27: Looking it up, I'm getting conflicting information about when the term "handbag" emerged
Boopity: @TehAmelie Seems about right
e_bloc: do you think there's anything else similar to the weird owls in the game, or that was it
TehAmelie: and, pretty much everyone has self bias, but weaponizing it seems impressive
Boopity: _Could_ use some help
Boopity: Not anymore
e_bloc: he still needs help, just a different kind of help
Boopity: I wonder if they recorded a variant for every key, or just pitched one recording
Juliamon: It *feels* early game
TehAmelie: they call it glomping but it looks like they just run up and punch you
PharaohBender27: HypeRIP
PharaohBender27: Well, off to start making enchiladas for dinner.
Boopity: Lose a vinyl!? The horror D:
TehAmelie: i think they cost like $40
Shadowsoflife: o/
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also weaponizing self-bias meaning weaponizing bias against you or your own biases? Because I have different answers/examples depending on the answer
TehAmelie: she seems to just think about herself so hard it makes her more powerful
Boopity: @TehAmelie Where can I learn this superpower
Boopity: Typically it goes the other way for me :D
Getter404: Whoops
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Boopity Very real
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie So just being empowered by excessive self confidence maybe? I'm not sure self-bias is the term or maybe I missed some context while I was feeding cats
TehAmelie: what we're learning is, in a stage battle you gotta kill the backup dancers first
Boopity: I feel like self bias is some term we're not familiar with, similar to how the minions are Glomping
TehAmelie: i just take it to mean egocentric bias
e_bloc: that "thanks" sounds vaguely condescending
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ah, narcissism or self centered to the detriment of others (depending on who it is and the specific other contexts and behaviors around it)
e_bloc: dancer, heal thyself
Thefluffiestguineapig: Is this likely our next party member?
Juliamon: Had to step away for a minute, but "bias" is a kpop thing
TehAmelie: ah
Getter404: Kpop version of fave or "oshi"
Juliamon: Statement. IIRC your "bias" is the member of the band you like the most
definenull: Statement, bias is like 'stanning'
Boopity: Ohhhhhh
ContingentCat: those kpop fans can't stay objective
e_bloc: oh that's interesting
gualdhar: so its a kpop blorbo?
Boopity: She's her own blorbo
Getter404: Not really, blorbo usually has an element of babygirl or "hear me out"
TheMerricat: Yes, you all are using words I know. Yes.
Strebenherz: blorbo or no, this does give me vibes of kpop demon hunters
adept_nekomancer: Luke Skyblorber
ArtDecoSunburn: Blorbo the Hutt.
Juliamon: I guess you *could* depending on what time period you're talking about
e_bloc: this week I saw a line outside a theater at 9 in the morning of a few dozen people--on the drive home there were hundreds of people there. I looked it up and AMPERS&ONE were playing there that night
TehAmelie: now face the power of Blorbkller base
Strebenherz: lrrBartleby lrrBartleby lrrBartleby
ArtDecoSunburn: @Juliamon Luuke with multiple u's the clone from the novels?

FlameFighterSRG: What if its a Metal Fire?"
Getter404: Truckloads of sand.
e_bloc: I'm pretty sure Kpop bands regenerate
TehAmelie: he'll have to change his name to Smother
Hedonistic_Mushroom: "Kill the boy, kill the Band"
Boopity: @Vinewood_OG Incredible
definenull: @e_bloc That's they 'resign' (their contracts)
pctjoe: lol a wet pillow as a cure for snoring
gualdhar: wet the pillowcase with chlorine and ammonia for maximum effect?
e_bloc: now that's a V:tM campaign I'd play
adept_nekomancer: Vampires? In that case, we'll have to go with "Not a Drop to Drink" methods.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Boopity Does that make us the brains or the brawn?

ArtDecoSunburn: "I'm Humbert Humbert, spokesman for Pop Tarts."
Hedonistic_Mushroom: What the
FlameFighterSRG: The Pop Tarts just want to be loved by all and eaten
RatherLargeToad: The Pop Tart Bowl is great. In the most recent one they were going to sacrifice three mascots, but one of them jumped off the giant toaster and fled
e_bloc: pop tarts are replacement-level food
ErynTzun: Toaster strudel are better
UnknownFriday: Oddly, off-brand Pop Tarts are better than on-brand ones.
exeJayce: smores are great poptarts, I actually just sadly finished my box off the other day and I need to get more...
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Can you cook a pop tart in an oven with a pan of water beneath to change the texture?
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Do you think a well-stocked pop tart aisle could feed a post-apocalyptic community?
exeJayce: @Hedonistic_Mushroom I may test this idea
adept_nekomancer: "What do we have here? A blunt object!"
Isaac3567: I was gonna say S'mores is the best one. Toaster Strudel still loses because they haven't managed a chocolate flavour yet (at least in Canada)
Boopity: "I'm here to get crunk on the dance floor"
exeJayce: they had a good chocolate flavor once! it's been gone for years now

ArtDecoSunburn: @TehAmelie Do you think there's a powerful nonbinary character called Contralto?
TehAmelie: ooh, that sounds good
ErynTzun: @Isaac3567 They do have chocolate toaster strudels, various even. There used to be a Boston cream pie toaster strudel. A shame it's discontinued!
e_bloc: glad this man was here to explain it
pctjoe: if you win an Oscar you can pretend to have stolen the best picture Oscar for crash
TehAmelie: Recycled Garbage could be a good name for a Garbage cover band, but
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun That sounds pretty amazing. The toasted pastry future we were promised.
ErynTzun: A very punch-able face
e_bloc: theres not a jury of note that would convict you
definenull: Do you punch on 'health' or 'real'?
ArtDecoSunburn: @TehAmelie How about "Single Stream Recycled" ?
Getter404: At that point I'd rather get it engraved on a wrestling belt and just smash them in the face with it
e_bloc: this presumes that you do not currently own these Heather
e_bloc: @Getter404 this is the way
Vinewood_OG: please submit that to accounts punchable
ArtDecoSunburn: @pctjoe They might just give it to you to dispose of. I don't think Haggis is liked in Hollywood any more.
e_bloc: @Vinewood_OG oh thats very good
ButButTheJesus: in tiny text on the ring: "By receipt of this punch you agree to forfeit any rights to claim injury" or something
ArtDecoSunburn: Billy Zane's "The Phantom" was great.
public_key_reveal_party: I was thinking of the band Oi Polloi who have a song called "let the boots do the talking"
ErynTzun: The Phantom wore a ring with a skull on it
Vinewood_OG: @e_bloc lrrBartleby
Getter404: I only remember it because it had Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa just being Shang Tsung again
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Heather goes on a pilgrimage of violence engraving "Mental Health is real Health" by punching world leaders and CEOs
ArtDecoSunburn: Treat Williams chews all the scenery in that movie.
exeJayce: punch a CEO day sounds fun
e_bloc: hey skycaptain and the world of tomorrow wasn't bad
Getter404: Also ALL of that run was Hollywood thinking that was what people wanted after Batman instead of "comic book movies where the creators actually care about the material"
ErynTzun: I don't think it's the proper way to hit someone and not damage your hand though if the ring is intended to stamp a skull in it
Shurtal: Young Heather learned "Disappointment"
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc It was the last of that pulp run: Indiana Jones, Dick Tracy, Rocketeer, The Shadow, The Phantom, Sky Capatain.
exeJayce: anyone who says they weren't disappointed before the age of 10 is a liar
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn its a shame because some of those were pretty good
spethycakes: So...none of us are adults, then? Because as far as I can tell, life keeps finding new and horrifying ways to disappoint us
ButButTheJesus: "Wonder" yes
TehAmelie: my parents were often disappointed. . .
e_bloc: I mean we can't be more than 10 years away from someone remaking Dick Tracy
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Great music, too.
ErynTzun: The costume in the Phantom looked just as terrible as the Fantastic Four costumes in the 1994 movie that went unreleased. Sue's costume had the 4 tucked in it was so slap dash.
e_bloc: was league of extraordinary gentlemen in there
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Not until you pry it out of Warren Beatty's cold,dead hands. He tenanciously clings to the rights.
pctjoe: lol I like wonder definded as the ability to be disappointed
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn oh shit I forgot all about that
TehAmelie: you know what comic is ripe for a movie? Gasoline Alley
e_bloc: I've been stuck in a lot of wikipedia holes lately and somehow I landed on dick tracy
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun I thought Catherine Zeta Jones' sky pirate looked pretty good.
spethycakes: Physicians of Note
TehAmelie: the oldest continuously comic there is
e_bloc: oddly I think that was the same hole that I learned about the Belgian Congo too
ErynTzun: The 1990 Dick Tracy movie was supposed to be huge, they thought it was going to be a hit. There was so much merch. lol
TehAmelie: *published
e_bloc: also the cast was pretty insane
Vinewood_OG: Please state the nature of the musical emergency.
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Fascinating spin offs. Look for the Max Allan Collins short stories.
adept_nekomancer: Vampire (chibi)
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn well that's another hour of my life that I can turn into trivia
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun I had Dick Tracy movie toys. Great cars, ridiculously scaled miniatures.
e_bloc: I need to rewatch dick tracy, I do not recollect Catherine O'Hara being in it
exeJayce: I actually really like the art style for this game, it's very pleasant
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun Sondheim even wrote songs for it.
Boopity: He's in the touring band Kappa
adept_nekomancer: Producer and occasional purveyor of violence
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc The coloring and mattes are gorgeous. They used a four color scheme.
doubleo21 watched 100 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
LeeshaJoy: Most of what I know about the Dick Tracy movie comes from Todd in the Shadows' Cinemadonna retrospective.
exeJayce: dang a 100 stream streak? nice
ArtDecoSunburn: @Vinewood_OG Someone dropped the c sharp?
ErynTzun: I had a toy watch, I was obsessed with game watches when I was little. It was pretty terrible as all of them were.
TehAmelie: i'm struggling to comprehend Cadence's pants. the dialogue seems to cover up some kind of wonder
ArtDecoSunburn: @LeeshaJoy Bonkers. Pacino. Dick Van Dyke. Madonna.
e_bloc: there have been great songs written in like half an hour
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn dustin hoffman, kathy bates, james caan
Thefluffiestguineapig: Then I am not an adult why didn't that send before
Boopity: That's nu Kappa
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun Did your watch tell you to "Drink more Ovaltine!"
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Huffman played Mumbles. It was crazy.
ErynTzun: @ArtDecoSunburn hahah no it was a game watch it just made little beeps like any Tiger Electronics game device.
LordZarano: First of October writes and records all their albums in 1 day a year
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn I mean it is definitely one of the sickest casts for a comic book movie, at the time at least
taliesinskye: Yes, it's called the mechanical license.

Boopity: LUL
Thefluffiestguineapig: What is the new windows noise command? I know Juliamon has used it before
ErynTzun: I have all mine disabled so I never think it's mine anymore lol
Juliamon: It's either !bing or !windows
Boopity: Lmaooo
SaxPython: I think it's !bing or !windows but I'm not subbed
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun I remember I had a Tiger Electronics game where I had shore cannons repelling landing craft. It only occurred to me years later I was essentially recreating the German side at Normandy.
exeJayce: Ian pls
ArtDecoSunburn: @adept_nekomancer Let's hear it for Clippy!
Hedonistic_Mushroom: "Rock Stuff" ... Gurl
Boopity: I love the implication that no one in this city knows what rock is
e_bloc: he's ozzy osdead now
exeJayce: ow
TehAmelie: we built this city without rock and roll, somehow
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc I think that's the only reason Sky Captain got the cast it did.
Shadowsoflife: okay
ArtDecoSunburn: @TehAmelie --Town from "Footloose"
e_bloc: wow a world with radio stations, what a crazy timeline this must be
SaxPython: !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!
Hedonistic_Mushroom: They leave the city and they come to discover that the City is Built on Rock n Roll
definenull: 3,2,1 break!
e_bloc: break a leg
Thefluffiestguineapig: Did Ian break?
Boopity: @Thefluffiestguineapig No this is just his default state
Wolfstrike_NL: Is break time when we give up our arm?
SaxPython: hey mods. For your consideration !ianbreak. With an altered break message.
e_bloc: I thought we established a hand would suffice
ContingentCat: @Thefluffiestguineapig I'm not sure how we'd be able to tell
Juliamon takes notes
ErynTzun: @TehAmelie Welp I guess I'll have this song in my head for the rest of the day
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Boopity No, screaming "break" over and over again is different because normally he would also be spinning around and getting himself caught on the headphone cord accidentally
Hedonistic_Mushroom: Taking breaks and having KitKats are inextricably linked in my head.
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!)
Boopity: @Thefluffiestguineapig Who's to say that didn't happen once they put the break screen up? Kappa
Wolfstrike_NL: @Thefluffiestguineapig That sounds like an eleborate skull measuring attempt
e_bloc: in the dick tracy movie theres a water cooler shaped like a polar bear and the tap is on its crotch
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Wolfstrike_NL Ian has gotten himself tangled in his headphone cord multiple times before trying to do bits
ErynTzun: lrrSPOOPY
ErynTzun: I will never get one, it asked if I'm human. lol
Juliamon: yeah, it's not ideal, but it's what we have
adept_nekomancer: Feral hogs? There's clearly more than 30-50 of us.
Boopity: Wait, did Big Giant Circles do the music for this game? Neat
accountmadeforants: IAmClap Man this is rad
Boopity: This is so musical campy I love it
TehAmelie: i think she's using aerogel for hair gel
ErynTzun: He sings like Sh*tner
ButButTheJesus: GNYAAAA!

LeeshaJoy: So to be clear, the Bandcamp download is the musical *score,* not the songs
pctjoe: this places is for singers the same way the John Wick-verse is for assassins
Boopity: There _has_ to be a musical number at the end of every area, surely?
Wolfstrike_NL: tutorial done \o/

TehAmelie: i hope the giant rock mecha will be our teacher
ErynTzun: Giant Bass is about to attack

e_bloc: enjoying Canada's two best exports at the same time: ice hockey and LRR
accountmadeforants: Nominative determinism
ErynTzun: oh his sleeve has a note shape
LeeshaJoy: C'mon, a musical world has to have Earth, Wind, and Fire as elemental powers
e_bloc: in this universe, I think there are only three
e_bloc: I was going to say what LeeshaJoy said
silenceaux: did you tell them in that accent as well
Juliamon: insult comedian
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: It's safer to Snagglepuss than to Captain Caveman in public.
e_bloc: criminal
Boopity: Is this... metal improv?
accountmadeforants: He could just be named (John) Heckler, and be booked, and be a total jerk.
Juliamon: SKULLASTIC
Boopity: I presume guitar friend is that person who got heckled off stage
gualdhar: they're band puns
LeeshaJoy: Lord of the Strings
TheNerdWonder: Strings?

Dog_of_Myth: Best owl.
SaxPython: FBtouchdown
e_bloc: this year Mordor is hosting the super bowl, you could be the halftime act
LeeshaJoy: So how long until we run into Jack Black's character from Brütal Legend?
Shadowsoflife: Yes
Juliamon: I assume the bandmate we get here is the older dude in the splash art, but I still would like to see that punk girl show up again
e_bloc: if you get it wrong they chop off one of weird al's fingers
Boopity: I immensely appreciate the game making it clear that you can retry later LUL
Dog_of_Myth: Suddenly, Tekken.
exeJayce: when in doubt: save save save!
RatherLargeToad: Run! It’s Kangaroo Jack, back for revenge!
pctjoe: those are the men at work about the fire

e_bloc: there is a 0% chance he pronounces it left-tennant
UnknownFriday: Durandan Durandan. Known for their song "Hungry Like the Wolfdan."
Shadowsoflife: delevePun
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Beware - that kangaroo could be Ice T
pctjoe: they will be taking her to kangaroo court
TheNerdWonder: I love this game. It knows exactly what it's doing with every pun
ErynTzun: That seems cruel
silenceaux: also, why are the hands
e_bloc: isnt this how deliverance starts
Strebenherz: didn't expect to see a kpop girl get kicked in the face by a kangaroo today
Boopity: LUL
Juliamon: it's the splash art guy!
UnknownFriday: Oh, it's Jack Black.
accountmadeforants: Omg that was my exact same thought Heather
Dog_of_Myth: lrrLUL lrrLUL
ErynTzun: It's like Brütal Legend but older
accountmadeforants: Something about that man just exudes Jack Black Energy
e_bloc: its gonna be bad time if wehave to fight a seven nation army
Juliamon: is this... Fret Michaels
LeeshaJoy: @e_bloc They can't hold us back.
exeJayce: am very much contemplating buying this game with one of my paychecks soon
exeJayce: everything about it makes me happy
e_bloc: I kinda want them to hold me back
Getter404: Ah yes, the Flying Gooch
LeeshaJoy: oh man if we get to fight Johnny Cash that would rule
accountmadeforants: @e_bloc The bleedin', bleedin', bleedin' debuff is just so rough.
ContingentCat: jonney bucks

Shadowsoflife: or the man in black
e_bloc: just j-money, low key
pctjoe: Jimmy Bitcoin
Shadowsoflife: Jacob bills
LeeshaJoy: James Currency
TehAmelie: Jonathan Green
accountmadeforants: Just do the Guilty Gear thing and have a Man In Black with a cowboy hat named Johnny who throws Cash as one of his attacks.
Boopity: THe smoke looks like it's coming out of Cadence's head
e_bloc: get the hell out of my galaxy
Getter404: I choose Get On The Floor, Everybody Walk The Dinosaur
e_bloc: you can Savidan the door
ErynTzun: There are at least two people likely to Babylon 5 quote here
PharaohBender27: (returns now that enchiladas are in the oven) Oh wow has out setting changed
Juliamon: PharaohBender27 We realized non-pop music exists and left the city
accountmadeforants: Cadence, but not *that* Cadence
e_bloc: B5 I think is totally underrated
Getter404: "Old man" he's like 36
Vinewood_OG: @ErynTzun "Hello, old friend."
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Villains would be so much more sucessful if they could ever learn to describe what the damned McGuffin looks like. "Oh! That! OK, it's yours."
ErynTzun: B5 and FarScape are still my favorites
Boopity: Move aside Lady D
e_bloc: great choices
ButButTheJesus: beeg lady
e_bloc: I rewatched B5 last year, its so good
Juliamon: she's tall, but she also is basically a cop
e_bloc: I need to watch farscape end to end though
Vinewood_OG: @e_bloc Frell yeah!
PharaohBender27: A gunmonica?
ErynTzun: @e_bloc I bought it immediately when it came out, but it's really not hard to find in various places to watch without buying the old DVDs or one of the blue-ray sets. There's even a 24-7 stream here on Twitch.
accountmadeforants: @e_bloc I'm planning on rewatching B5 after I finish my Stargate rewatch. Definitely looking forward to it :D
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Haronicanon
NotCainNorAbel: a unique take on a silencer
Boopity: Uh oh
e_bloc: rewatching DS9 now and forgot about this gem: "Odo": I'm always suspicious of people who are eager to help a police officer.
e_bloc: @ErynTzun oh I didn't know there was a twitch stream, thats sweet
pctjoe: vape pen harmonica would be neat
ErynTzun: @e_bloc It's probably better to find it elsewhere though so you can watch in order instead of joining in the middle.
e_bloc: yeah I'll have to figure it out, maybe take the jolly roger out for a spin
Boopity: We don't have enough moves to have multiple tactics LUL
Boopity: The early-game turn-based curse
e_bloc: why not dry ice
PharaohBender27: Wouldn't that mess up the airwaves inside that make the music when you blow?
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: There is the guy with the flaming bagpipes . . .
Thefluffiestguineapig: There was an interview on NPR with a heavy metal bagpipe player
ErynTzun: It's not as story arc heavy as B5 which pioneered TV shows having arcs and using CGI, but out of order it would make much less sense. Although there are plenty of stand alone episodes that don't need any context they're just REALLY weird.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also it would cause damage to your respiratory system
PharaohBender27: lrrBartleby
e_bloc: fair point
exeJayce: that was too close, good job you two
e_bloc: I don't know that any of these plans are particularly good for our respiratory system
Thefluffiestguineapig: Martell
Boopity: B-But you're on the cover!
Thefluffiestguineapig: voice sounds awfully familiar from the game Ben played, the one with American southern traditional mythos?
ErynTzun: In his spare time he crushes multiple cans between his fingers
accountmadeforants: Yeah this is standard practice Cadence. You gotta do a sidequest first before you can recruit a new character.
Thefluffiestguineapig: And great songs and accessibility
jubale1: Cadence? is this a Crypt of the .. game?
e_bloc: lrrWOW
LeeshaJoy: @jubale1 No, and it's not a My Little Pony game, either. Different people can be named Cadence.
ErynTzun: Jason Charles Miller Fret(voice)
Thefluffiestguineapig: That seems like a pretty good house TBH
jubale1: i now have seen 2 charecters named Cadence
Boopity: We just stole his power chord D:
ErynTzun: oh Jason Charles Miller was in The Outer Worlds 2
Boopity: Time to stalk this man
Thefluffiestguineapig: South of Midnight!
Shadowsoflife: @ErynTzun Neat
PharaohBender27: "I know all about your tragic backstory! You have to be my friend now!"
ErynTzun: so many other things!
LeeshaJoy: this powerup does not spark joy
Juliamon: Support materia!
accountmadeforants: You might say you are alive AND amplified
Boopity: PLEASE let there be a ska town
e_bloc: is it named after the sound sandpaper makes
spethycakes: ska town is probably adjacent to New Punk City and close to Bebop
Shadowsoflife: delevePun
Juliamon: Skullastic, not SkullTastic.
ErynTzun: Well so Jason Charles Miller is not only a prolific voice actor but a singer songwriter and music producer so very appropriate for this game.
e_bloc: very good
Thefluffiestguineapig: Uhhhhhhhhh creepy fan
UtilityPunk: Ohhhh, I thought the hat was a double-x for XXTREME
e_bloc: gotta put together a mean diss track

Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh is this his daugher or something?
Boopity: LUL
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or is Frett in prison?
Juliamon: accountmadeforants no, Fae runs the punk district shop Kappa
accountmadeforants: @Juliamon :D
accountmadeforants: Speaking of Fae's store, I know a store that's split across two buildings across from one another, and I once had to cross the street just to ring something up because the register/PIN reader wasn't working on one side. So really the two entrances thing ain't got nothing on real life :p
Boopity: GASP, betrayed for metal
Thefluffiestguineapig: "Free" money

Thefluffiestguineapig: Wait, I thought they did all the blue two color combos
loufghyslaufey: A LIVE? So soon?
e_bloc: I know I feel like we just lived

ContingentCat: How has it been 10 years what
e_bloc: oh no yeah I remember they happened more
Ashmantle: <3
e_bloc: I feel like its probably a better product at once a month
loufghyslaufey: Don't be like chat, Moonbase?
Juliamon: the pushback to once a month was very needed
Juliamon: LRR has never really been good at doing less than 100%
loufghyslaufey: Settle for... a QWERPLine... monthly? Maybe?
accountmadeforants: I remember regular crapshoots, too. That was probably not the best idea, either.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Less stress on them always better, the LRR people want to make the best product and I as a member of this community want to support them in however they need to make that hapen
Juliamon: It's extremely pleasing that they seem to have finally found a rhythm that (mostly) works. The chaos back then, the massive VOD backlog... different times.
loufghyslaufey: More like.... "SAROS Hills", right? I don't have enough context of either two game IPs. (Outside of... Silent Hill f?)
loufghyslaufey: And even then, the 'f' in that game's title eludes me?
Earthenone: i miss some of the chaoric vibes, like earlier lives really felt like "we have to put this show together in a day" and now its more a payoff for a month of plans and filming. and things like random people just hapening to be at the moonbase for unrelated things poping in was always fun but that seems scheduled out now
Juliamon: I mean... most Lives still are put together day-of
Juliamon: as I understand it, other than specific annuals (cfut, mid quiz, seasonal games, etc) they only do prerecords if the occasion comes up that enables them
Juliamon: also the pandemic kind of changed the likelihood of "random people just happening to be there"
Juliamon: that's not an intentional shift on LRR's part
Earthenone: nothing i said was intended as criticism. its hard to describe the lives feeling more "planed" like before it felt like they came in with one idea for a bit and scraped together 3-4 more the day of now it kind of feels like they come in with 10 ideas and shave 5, its a subjective thing i have no clue how anything is done behind the scenes
