TXC2: TheMerricat yeah, it sucks being the bad guy
TheMerricat:
@TXC2 Actually I hear it's really fun playing the heel. 
TehAmelie: i hear nobody knows what it's like, to be the bad guy, to be the sad guy
TXC2: the problem is real villains are banal and uncreative.
El_Zilcho22: yeah i still don't know how to approach an Ingrid that keeps doing the fireballs and lasers.
TheMerricat: Chat, my brain just fizzled and a dad joke imposed itself into my mind. How do you approach a farm girl?

With a tractor.

TXC2: bye Cameron
Strebenherz: Just tuned in, season 3 of what? Uhhh Bye cam?
TXC2: Strebenherz the Terror
iris_of_ether: The Terror
Lysander_salamander: ah, that sort of horror
OldUncleDan: Season 3 of "My Adventures with Superman" is coming out this weekend. I am super pumped for that!
Strebenherz: With no context, I take it this is a series cam is a fan of?
TXC2: Strebenherz yes, as James put it "that show Cameron doesn't shut up about"
Jillexie: I should watch the first season of The Terror again.
Strebenherz: Oh the same show? XD
Strebenherz: I've read moby dick!
TehAmelie: i liked your audiobook
iris_of_ether: I saw a clip of that with Chris Fleming in it, looks fun
PixelArtDragon: I keep meaning to find time to subscribe to Apple TV and binge their entire collection in a month or so
Lysander_salamander: oh I should check that out
iris_of_ether: That is definitely not the scene I saw haha
ArtDecoSunburn: I need to watch the Americans. My first side gig as a professional historian was consulting for the producers of that show on details of 1980s life.

TehAmelie: time to Pause Ant
Lysander_salamander: That reminds me I should read Piranessi
TXC2: our house, in the middle of our streaming network
ArtDecoSunburn: Cameron, you might enjoy the 1970s "Tinker, Tailor" miniseries. I'm not sure if you would, Cori, despite the title's Ian connection.
hyalopterous: Cam, your mic is off I think
PixelArtDragon: Chess 2? There are already a bunch of variations
ArtDecoSunburn: Plug for the international chess hall of fame and museum in St. Louis. Worth a visit if you're passing through that city. Nice, but incredibly niche museum.
TXC2:
I was taught chess by my "dad" I think for the express perpose of him having someone to beat 
PixelArtDragon: Freestyle chess is pretty popular, there are tournaments that the top players compete in
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Playing people better than you is the way to get better yourself.
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn yeah, that's not what he was doing
Lysander_salamander: there was a 7th Guest remake that came out last week I think?
ArtDecoSunburn: @PixelArtDragon I prefer reading chess problems to actually playing the game.
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Ha!
Sethalidos: 7th guest was on early Mac as well
Lysander_salamander: A few years ago there was a kickstarter for a 7th Guest sequel. So maybe that got people back into it?
hyalopterous: I always love Cam's Checkpoint stories
ArtDecoSunburn: At some point during this stream will you sing "One Night in Bangkok" from the musical "Chess" ?
Wolfstrike_NL: !gant
LRRbot: GANT GANT
MenomeAlice: I love The 7th Guest/11th Hour. I also sometimes hate The 7th Guest/11th Hour. Such is the way of 90s FMV puzzle games.
TehAmelie: special rules for kings? too real
Lysander_salamander: Yeah the remake has new FMV sequences, but they tried to keep the ham acting
Kentosaurus: who up chaining their courtesans?
TXC2: Pawns formed a union
PixelArtDragon: Pay-to-win
danielsolisgames: I walked uphill both ways to castle my king.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh dear
Lysander_salamander: interesting
Earthenone: ohh a rouge chesslike
TXC2: I'm gonna assume Knights can also take the courtsan
TehAmelie: we got a original piece before even the first game. feels promising
ArtDecoSunburn: Are we going to get additional chess variant pieces in this, like the Chancellor, Vizier, or Elephant?
Thefluffiestguineapig: More than many professionals I bet
Lysander_salamander: is that a camel?
Kentosaurus: is that knight a camel?
MenomeAlice: @ArtDecoSunburn Or the Skeleton diorama, cactus, frozen prawns and Spider-Man?
TXC2: if I know my AoE2, Camels beat knights
TehAmelie: horse with built-in supply bags
ArtDecoSunburn: @MenomeAlice Hopefully all of the above.
danielsolisgames: Deckbuilding a chess set is fun
ArtDecoSunburn: What's that chess variant with nearly all pawns? Jacquerie?
Kentosaurus: oops
PixelArtDragon: Ohh, the camel goes farther than knights
Lysander_salamander: this is a roguelike?
TXC2: Lysander_salamander yes, it's chesslatro basically
Lysander_salamander: the camel knight moves farther than a normal knight?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Lysander_salamander A Rooklike.
TehAmelie: i like rooklike
danielsolisgames: If y'all like this type of gameplay, I recommend the Duke.
ArtDecoSunburn: Can our bishops schism over baptismal practices?
Kentosaurus: but there is already a card game called rook
Lysander_salamander: maybe if you get more than the usual amount of bishops they'll attempt to elect an antipope
PixelArtDragon: Reminds me a little of Majestic Chess if anyone else ever played that
xantos69: Hey Kids! Is game good?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hehehehehehe
Thefluffiestguineapig: @xantos69 Trying to figure that out
ArtDecoSunburn: @danielsolisgames The Duke is fun. I hear War Chest is similar to it?
Wolfstrike_NL: Time to bring back CDHC
TXC2: hello xantos69 we've only played a few games so far
Thefluffiestguineapig: Currently the original piece is the courtesan
danielsolisgames: @ArtDecoSunburn Yes indeed
ArtDecoSunburn: @Lysander_salamander I'd like to see a chessboard conclave, followed by a rival papal seat at Aviginon (diagonally across the board).
Lysander_salamander: hahaha
danielsolisgames: The world of chess variants and fairy pieces is a mile deep. See: The Duke, War Chest, Onitama, Knightmare Chess, Really Bad Chess, etc.
TehAmelie: i hope we get to upgrade the board size
ArtDecoSunburn: @danielsolisgames Knightmare Chess and its cards.
xantos69: I play Really Bad Chess every day, so I'm curious if this game is for me.
ArtDecoSunburn: Can we start investing in our nuclear program? We need to develop ICBMs.
trainpants: Pawns being on the first rank looks cursed
Lysander_salamander: There was a chess game I played a while back with my little brother. It had an adventure campaign mode where you were riding around a fantasy map, solving chess puzzles to get new units and other bonuses. I can't remember the name of the game though.
danielsolisgames: Also Chess960, the variant invented by Bobby Fisher where each player plays with the same randomized starting lineup.
xantos69: Can an unstable piece still checkmate?
ArtDecoSunburn: Odds that at some point a card upgrade will open an eldritch hell portal on the board?
ArtDecoSunburn: @danielsolisgames I've read about it, but never encountered it in real life.
7gorobei: a2 queen promote?
danielsolisgames: Check out the wikipedia article for "Fairy chess piece" for a long history of variant pieces. I wonder how many might appear here.
xantos69: Camel E7, threaten check, then kill pawn at d5?
PixelArtDragon: @ArtDecoSunburn There was a tournament a few months ago, it was entertaining
ArtDecoSunburn: @7gorobei If we guillotine the King and Queen, can we replace with a 5-member Committee of Public Safety?

shtevie3: camel to c8?

ArtDecoSunburn: @PixelArtDragon Hmm. True.
PixelArtDragon: You have a path to taking all pieces here
xantos69: Use bishop to protect courtisan?
ArtDecoSunburn: Is our courtesan Tang Dynasty or Byzantine Empire?
TehAmelie: camels confirmed weird
ArtDecoSunburn: @xantos69 Depends -- did she tithe?
Lysander_salamander: you can ring-out your opponent in this?
CamelAttack: You simply must accept the power of Camels into your heart! But yeah camels are weird.

TehAmelie: it's a craterhoof camel
Lysander_salamander: ohno
xantos69: It knocks pieces off the board!?!?!?
RealGamerCow: goodbye!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Cori is limit testing
TXC2: Sumo chess now
PixelArtDragon: Only one way to find out!
Lysander_salamander: hahahahahahahaha
Jillexie: lol
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
Lysander_salamander: this is amazing
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 I feel like the rooks have an advantage there.
CamelAttack: @ArtDecoSunburn i am like the Camels....we dont talk much. Also I keep hearing them say my name.
ArtDecoSunburn: So, Cameron, which game has better rooks, Passant or Marathon?
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn maybe they can be henka'd real well?
hyalopterous: you can there's a piece in the way
hella_qh: I think it mentioned needing a free space

RealGamerCow: I have so many problems using the courtesan correctly
Lysander_salamander: I'm absolutely terrible at chess, and one of my brothers is rather good at it. He hates it when I just flunge-attack and randomly move, because he thinks I have a plan.
ArtDecoSunburn: @CamelAttack Well, I'd certainly listen what they have to say.
TehAmelie: @Lysander_salamander that's my only strategy. being unpredictable and fast and try to make the opponent think too hard
ArtDecoSunburn: @Lysander_salamander "You mean you weren't going for the Knudige-Grosselmayer Opening?"
PixelArtDragon: Get trapped, bish!
ArtDecoSunburn: @PixelArtDragon (Someone boxing in the Bishop of York at an Aldi's car park)
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
Nathade: and courtesan
TehAmelie: if we can sell the courtesan. . .wait that sounds wrong
7gorobei: only starter pokepieces
Lysander_salamander: Yes, refuse to engage with the new gameplay
dm818: miserable would be my guess
CaptainSpam: A wall of diagonality.
TXC2: I don't know, bishops and kings tend to be old, I could take them
PixelArtDragon: A bishop pair is extremely powerful in chess
ArtDecoSunburn: To be fair, up through the 18th century prince bishops in the HRE led armies and besieged cities.
7gorobei: your knight has h2 covered

Lysander_salamander: does bringing the pawn to the opposite side give them a promotion in this game?
Lysander_salamander: nice
TXC2: clap clap clap
CaptainSpam: I like the term "emergency pawns" as it relates to Chess.
RealGamerCow: @Lysander_salamander Yes, it's my favored way to win rounds
accountmadeforants:
This and King of the Bridge are some of my favourite "Chess" games, glad to see it on Talking Sim 
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants What's the hook of "King of the Bridge" ?
PixelArtDragon: Fork!
accountmadeforants: @ArtDecoSunburn You're trying to cross a bridge, a troll challenges you to a game of chess, except he cheats and makes up new rules. It spirals out of control from there
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants Sounds clever. Dastardly bridge trolls and their games of skill!
CaptainSpam: I will say, bishops and pawns need a bit more differentiating in this set.
accountmadeforants: @ArtDecoSunburn Oh yeah it's very fun, there's a number of different ending/win conditions. And crucially, despite the cheating, and aside from the rules you don't know right away, it still keeps the "perfect information" part of chess, it still feels like a functional game
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants Sounds well conceived. Nifty.
ArtDecoSunburn: @CaptainSpam Pointer hats, you say?
PixelArtDragon: @accountmadeforants Sounds like Mao but with actual rules and not random BS people make up
Creature_Comforts: Fried liver!
accountmadeforants:
@PixelArtDragon I like Mao as a thesis on the issues with "house rules"

PixelArtDragon: The Klingon game of Kh'ess

TXC2:
there are far to many words in English were the ch should be a k
TXC2: *where
accountmadeforants: @TXC2 It all went downhill went they started spelling it "Jail" instead of "Gaol"
MenomeAlice: @accountmadeforants And the first 's' is a mistranslated 'e'. It's been "Chees" all this time.
RealGamerCow:
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants That is kind of the point -- the Cultural Revolution was statecraft through fickle improvisation and made up rules.
RealGamerCow: counterpoint to "learn on hard" - losing sucks and feels bad
TXC2: accountmadeforants and we can blame the Normans for that one

Mashamino: fascinating
PixelArtDragon: Can't wait for a "9 ducks and a knight" run

hyalopterous: With 9 ducks you could nail down any piece
hyalopterous: Forked
Laserbeaks_Fury: duck block
BubastiBR: Wonder if Magnus discovfered this game.
PixelArtDragon: A miserable pile of secrets
hyalopterous: Amiserable little pile of sescrets!
TehAmelie: a pawn with free movement rights
Mashamino: have at you!
Laserbeaks_Fury: So not a King, just a Man

PixelArtDragon: @TehAmelie Stalemate
TehAmelie: huh
BubastiBR: @TehAmelie Zugzwang?
PixelArtDragon: You might be thinking of Zugzwang where you must make a move that puts you at a disadvantage
TehAmelie: sounds more like it
BubastiBR: It describes a situation, primarily in chess, where a player is put at a decisive disadvantage simply because it is their turn. Because chess rules dictate that a player must move, being in zugzwang means every possible legal move will actively worsen their position.
TehAmelie: but it's specifically when the game is over cause the next move will put you in check
BubastiBR: My father was a grand master. I'm mediocre at chess. He used to beat me starting without his queen.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Rubber Duckie, you're the one
Laserbeaks_Fury: Phrasing?
TehAmelie: if grandpa wants to give you a serious handicap he could give you a duck
hyalopterous: Weak to Gavrilo Pricep tho
Lysander_salamander: oh wow
RatherLargeToad: Draws up the trench lines
MungoDude: the great war
TehAmelie: let him get assassinated and you get a bunch of pieces, seems accurate
Mashamino: you can also have a song called "Take Me Out" which also seems like a bad idea

I guess if Tupac can get in a game anyone can 
Laserbeaks_Fury: Imagine realizing WWI was over 100 years ago now

Laserbeaks_Fury: I wonder if pawns in the back row still get the two move on the 2nd row
BubastiBR: Nope.
BubastiBR: But they can move 1 to row 2m and then 2 to row 4.
UtilityPunk: You're playing DUCK CHESS? I'm sold
Laserbeaks_Fury: Are camels just longer Ls?

xantos69: Not since college.
UtilityPunk:
I like that talking about chess results in demented statements like "my castle will take your queen", and we just roll with it. This game's great 
MenomeAlice: It's pronounced "Duchy"
Laserbeaks_Fury: This is like Blernsball
BubastiBR: This feels like a zugzwnag. No good moves left.
UtilityPunk: Quack at the king aggressively
xantos69: Get Ducked On!
TehAmelie: would you rather fight a king or a rubber ducky? (obviously the king)

MenomeAlice: In the water, no chance. That's duck country.
hyalopterous: It's actually tiny, but noone wants to step on it
hyalopterous: Welcome back
iris_of_ether:
hyalopterous: Happy Pride
UtilityPunk: Queen the man, like Freddie Mercury
MenomeAlice: Steven Regal's Attitude Era theme song starts playing
hyalopterous:
Mashamino: those were words
xantos69: Sir... SIR!
iris_of_ether: Cam no
zelukester: i'm sure there's a site for that
ArtDecoSunburn: Hey, the Archbishop of Canterbury now is a lady.
TehAmelie: Enemy Man detected!
Mashamino:
iris_of_ether: I should not have been eating noodles when you say that
iris_of_ether: Said*
MungoDude: if you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the precipitate
MenomeAlice: Someone add that to the list of quoted
xantos69: See this is why I wish I was a billionaire. So when people say things like "hotcrossnuns.com" I can just say. Here's 10 million, go make it. The world would be a more interesting place.
ArtDecoSunburn: @MungoDude A very particular joke.
MenomeAlice: @MungoDude You're always stirring things up
ArtDecoSunburn: @xantos69 I assume it would be a wholesome site of nuns baking rolls?
hyalopterous: don't forget your coin
xantos69: @ArtDecoSunburn It would be whatever Cam made of it.
ArtDecoSunburn: Do we have to be careful placing our archduke back on the board, less we trigger his undoubted Hapsburg hemophilia?
KaleidoscopeMind: could we get an archduck
ArtDecoSunburn: I once played chess matches against a guy who whenever he would put you in check or threaten the king would do the Robert De Niro "I'm watching you" bit from "Meet the Parents.". It got tiring quickly.
ArtDecoSunburn: @KaleidoscopeMind Of the Hops- burg dynasty?
CaptainSpam: Man in motion for promotion?
public_key_reveal_party: This game feels like playing a stress dream about chess
CaptainSpam: BOOM
TehAmelie: my stress dreams about Warcraft 2 are more coherent
ArtDecoSunburn: @CaptainSpam Now you're making me think of that song from "St. Elmo's Fire."
Thefluffiestguineapig: That sounds like how the design doc started
xantos69: Yes, but does it have a multiverse time-travel mode?
Mashamino: oh no
Gekyouryuu: their ruler is trans! good for them
CaptainSpam: Undo?
TehAmelie: now we've done it
TehAmelie: by it i mean started the great war
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's what men would like to think
UtilityPunk:
Please don't let this be when we learn what tank pieces do
Incandescent_Zubat:
UtilityPunk:
"My love, I write to you at this moment from the row 5 trenches" 
xantos69: Use Princess
Mashamino: "I'm a genius! Oh no!"
BubastiBR: Points for Trogdor ref.
kdefinition: They are But Men. Rock.
MenomeAlice: Men. [Ominous Music]
MenomeAlice: Too Many Rooks, Tooooo Many Roooooks
TehAmelie: too many rooks can spoil the duck
xantos69:
50 Cam I love you. You are a nice person and very entertaining.
MenomeAlice: Lose the Archduke badge π
BubastiBR: Nope, a strong pawn line beats everything. (Starts singing La Internationale).
MenomeAlice: This is playing out like a WWI general's plan of attack
Mashamino: look, we bought extra undo's for a reason
Mashamino: presumably to use them
SnackPak_: time to beat feet
hyalopterous: take the pawn
TheMerricat: Chat, I've been in and out on this stream, do we know if you can stalemate on this?
MenomeAlice: @TheMerricat Six turns of stalemate equals victory
KaleidoscopeMind: House of DΓΌcksburg
Thefluffiestguineapig: "Brutally need to use the bathroom" is quite an evocative phrase
BubastiBR: It's been a whilke since I screamed this much... ^_^
the_grand_nan: It was fun!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BubastiBR In laughter?
BubastiBR: I wish.
Strebenherz: I see we lost a Cam, I'm assuming we lost em to that show what he was excited for?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BubastiBR They never claim to be good at the games on this stream
Strebenherz: !patreon
Thefluffiestguineapig: Game seems cool
Strebenherz: !store
BubastiBR: I know... and I couldn't leave.
Ashmantle:
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BubastiBR Genuinely, these are great streamers as a collective
Strebenherz: Aha we still have a Cam
Strebenherz: Chess is a lot
NotCainNorAbel: library typically have chess clubs
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Strebenherz He went to go piss
ContingentCat: yeah basically
TehAmelie: it's much easier than Go at least
BubastiBR: Lean a few openings, and go on for them.
Strebenherz: You learn from playing and goofing up
the_grand_nan: Tyler1?
MungoDude: Jynxzi has been learning
BubastiBR: I have no short tem memory, and never managed to see over a 2 moves.
Thefluffiestguineapig: He clearly claims he's not bright because being smart isn't cool
KaleidoscopeMind: the problem is bright people know what they don't know, so underestimate their ability
xantos69: Well I'm going to go buy this game. Thanks for the several thousand hours I am going to lose.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @KaleidoscopeMind I keep being told this when I am shocked someone thinks something I said was really smart
Strebenherz: Like how in dwarf fort you don't make a well for your hospital with an open hole to the caverns. Trial error and goofs
TehAmelie: they can be defeated but no, it's not entirely solved
TheAinMAP: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: The Long Game (Get comfortable, let's dig into a board game for a while shall we? Game: Sunderfolk) at Thu 05:00 PM PDT (1:07 from now).
TheAinMAP: !ppr
Thefluffiestguineapig: I know too much about actual Marvel lore to enjoy who they put in MtG colors because I am also a vorthos
hyalopterous: The Sauron card is great
ContingentCat: !gant
LRRbot: ππππ ππππ
Thefluffiestguineapig: YES
ArdCollider: Kamala Khan's "no maximum hand size" sent me
SnackPak_:
ContingentCat: it's quite a time yes
Strebenherz: GANT GANT
Thefluffiestguineapig: !gant
LRRbot: ππππ ππππ
Thefluffiestguineapig: hehehehehehe
ArdCollider: there's an FF card that you can make pop off for 4 4/4s in Vintage
TehAmelie: *sensible chuckle*
ArdCollider: on turn one
Thefluffiestguineapig: His name is Sauron
Strebenherz: squirrel girl makes squirrels arguably better than krenko makes goblins and as a goblins player im not sure what to do with this information
Dog_of_Myth: !gant
LRRbot: Poyo!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArdCollider OH GOOD
Bruceski: It's *slightly* annoying because turning people into dinosaurs is not usually Sauron's thing. It's Stegron's, and that comic had Sauron steal his stuff.
Strebenherz: @ArdCollider What card?
Strebenherz: @Bruceski Oh huh.
Dog_of_Myth: @Strebenherz The Fantisticar
Vinewood_OG:
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Bruceski Like I said, I know too much about the lore to enjoy what they pigeon holed people into
Strebenherz: @ArdCollider Oh no
TheAinMAP:
Thefluffiestguineapig: How many formats is that card banned in?
TheAinMAP: Thank you for streaming.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Thanks for streaming!!
Dog_of_Myth: Since it's not out yet, none
Strebenherz: @Thefluffiestguineapig Fair, I can't say anything I imagine I'll have opinions when we finally get star trek
ContingentCat:
thanks Cam and Cori 
hyalopterous: @Bruceski Stegron is in the background of Sauron's card
Strebenherz: Take care you two!
hyalopterous: @hyalopterous looking annoyed
ghyllnox:
ghyllnox: Thanks for the stream o/
Dog_of_Myth:
