TXC2:
I'm doing slamming my face into Sliksong for the first time today
adamlavadad: Sound acquired
Electrodyne:
Also, fix the audio on the podcast version of Dice Friends, it's about 20% too quiet 
calculated_uncertainties: @Electrodyne Honestly, youtube uploads are in general too quiet. It makes me sad.
Electrodyne: I'm trying to listen to Otaku Jeff in the car. Also that's a plainly aggressive smiley, nothing passive about it
catcard: can we get a PLEASE you animals? >:(
calculated_uncertainties: Yeah, get ya. But I appreciate you!
Electrodyne: Please
Invitare: It takes a brave man to question Heather
raulghoulia: Dispatch this thug in brutal fashion, that all may hear of your arrival!
TXC2: catcard this is what I've been saying for years
catcard:
@TXC2 
TheMerricat:
I mean Heather's online right now.... 
Electrodyne:
Aggressive Smiley
calculated_uncertainties: somebody clip that, lol
CeridwenCoeur: First room elite is unlucky
catcard: bruh my last round of coworkers did not say please EVER. they weren't rude per se but it was still like. fucking say please my man.
jadielady: hey y'all
TXC2: hello jadielady welcome
catcard: I'm so hungy... groceries on the way and soon I will have lil snacks....
catcard: I'M SORRY
raulghoulia: whats the opposite of food?
TXC2: shit?
catcard: the opposite of food is....... uh.. hmm
Electrodyne: Inedible things
Invitare: sleep is the opposite of woke
lochnessseammonster:
damn i wanna nap 
calculated_uncertainties: pooping.
catcard: I had one hell of a nap earlier
catcard: you're probably a 2 hour napper
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 (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
Invitare: Utterly incapable of napping. Barely capable of sleeping
Electrodyne: I had one hell of a poop earlier
lochnessseammonster: yeah it is!
raulghoulia: should take a course on naps then
TXC2: yeah napping makes me feel like my body doesn't work
TheMerricat: That's a power nap
mckblitz: 45 min is ideal nap
lochnessseammonster: two hours is too short a sleep
catcard: 1.5 hours is my ideal nap
TXC2: 2 hours is fucking luxury sleep
catcard: that's how I wake up refreshed
lochnessseammonster:
Vinewood_OG: Anyone got the manual handy? Long rest versus short rest.
TheMerricat: A nap is anything under 4 hours, a power nap is anything under an hour.
catcard: but when I need a nap I REALLY need it
calculated_uncertainties: 15 minutes isn't a nap, just a loss of consciousness. I'm with the 2ish hour crew
TXC2: Vinewood_OG short is an hour, long is 8
raulghoulia: some of us are rascally babies than need our naps
Isaac3567: A nap should be either 20-25 minutes or 2+ hours. In between those times you get into deep sleep and wake up feeling groggy
calculated_uncertainties: almost spit ouit my tea, @TXC2
Vinewood_OG:
@TXC2 
lochnessseammonster:
mckblitz: tbh sounds like you nap wrong
catcard: adam are you a honk shoo or a mimimimi
raulghoulia: this guy doesnt even know how to nap
lochnessseammonster:
15 minutes is a snooze on the alarm waking me up from my 2 hour nap
calculated_uncertainties: @mckblitz I don't think you can nap wrong when comparing it to other people. You can only compare napping against oneself.
WolfgangCloud: James would know
TXC2: I'm a doesn't breath for 2 mins, then makes a sound like a moose giving birth
7gorobei: i have nodded off into sleep and been woken up by my snoring
Electrodyne: Turn off the game and we'll watch a nap stream
TheMerricat: The big thing about napping is making sure you only wake up at the end of REM sleep. If you wake up during REM sleep, you _will_ feel like shit because the hormones your body uses to keep you from moving around in your sleep are still working on you.
raulghoulia: @Electrodyne then it really will be too quiet
calculated_uncertainties: @TheMerricat rhythmic napping? (You're not wrong, though)
Invitare: isn't snoring usually depended on the position you sleep in?
Invitare: so if you sleep on your side you're in the clear
Electrodyne: I woke up mid-REM once and I was like "That was just a dream. That's me in the corner, that's me in the spot! Light!"
raulghoulia: won't show toilet. won't nap. what do we get out of this?
Vinewood_OG:
Sleep study for the subathon 
calculated_uncertainties: We don't have -that- type of parasocial relationship, guys.
n3ther:
ya I don't expect much from my 3rd monitor screen 
lochnessseammonster:
entertainment while i sew
n3ther:
Electrodyne: @lochnessseammonster this 100%
calculated_uncertainties: I mean, technically, my second monitor is playing bg3 right now.
jadielady:
you're on my main monitor. Peglin's on my 2nd, and I'm knitting a sock between throws 
lochnessseammonster:
Electrodyne: I'm making a holder for the portable hot plate we take camping
raulghoulia: @jadielady is this the first sock or the pair?
jadielady: it's the ADD
lochnessseammonster: ^
TXC2: the power of ADHD babee
jadielady:
@raulghoulia first sock, just started it so only have an inch or so of the cuff so far
BlindPathfinder: eh i just pay attention to things very intermittently
n3ther: all the extra stimulation keeps the brain producing those happy chemicals
calculated_uncertainties: @jadielady Yeah, it's not that we have our plates spinning, it's we can't focus on one without making a moasic.
Mr_Horrible: I'm testing a replacement mouse and contemplating how this conversation makes me think I have executive dysfunction
calculated_uncertainties: @Mr_Horrible You hang out with us, so that might already be a strike against you
catcard: I would not be surprised if you did mr horroble
Mr_Horrible: no
catcard: horroble
catcard: parnets
BlindPathfinder: it's an adhd esc thing
CeridwenCoeur: What do you mean by "corrupted zone"? The first time you come here you call the eclipse later on. But you activated it at the start.
TheMerricat: "Executive dysfunction is a neurological disconnect between knowing what to do and actually doing it. It disrupts the brain’s management system—impacting working memory, emotional regulation, and task initiation. It is not laziness, but a core symptom often linked to ADHD, autism, or depression."
Mr_Horrible: primarily trouble focusing, and especially starting tasks
lochnessseammonster: it likes you too
calculated_uncertainties: LRR in general is a very neurodivergent positive space.
TXC2: it's like when you want to get out of bed, but don't
TheMerricat: In other words, I know a lot of things that I need to do, and I see myself doing them in my head, but I never actually get around to doing htem because my brain takes 'seeing it in my head' as 'done'.
Mr_Horrible: one of these days I should see a doctor, I suppose
Marvoleath:
@TheMerricat Is this why we call people who have no idea what they're doing and have issues with emotions "executives"? 
Electrodyne: I bet a "Truck Simulator while you craft" show would work nicely
TheMerricat:
@Marvoleath 
Isaac3567: I dunno, that stagger damage seems pretty nice
raulghoulia: these plants seem to be doing their own thing, why are we shooting them?
Electrodyne: I was watching a YouTube thing from a train driving through Norway before this came on
CeridwenCoeur: Stagger/melee can be very strong if you get some good artifact support like "melee kills stagger nearby enemies"
tman723: yo
TXC2: hello tman723 welcome
Mr_Horrible: balber gate
BlindPathfinder: it is hard to get back into big rpgs
lochnessseammonster:
TXC2: oh it's big big big
n3ther: it's an intimidating game
calculated_uncertainties: How's Bradley Lizard doing?
ghizmou: they added more stuff after release
Marvoleath: It gets less big in act 3
Mr_Horrible:
@ghizmou like the end of the game 
TXC2: Heather did a playthrough for lrr that lasted like 40 stream
mckblitz: You can throw people
TheMerricat: Barbarian is the punch people class.
Mr_Horrible: rage, leap, eat hot chip, lie
CeridwenCoeur: Barb is pretty straightforward mechanically
lamina5432: sorrow saros?
BlindPathfinder: eh depends on the kind of babrian improvised wepon stuff can be silly and you can stuff yer inventory full of junk to throw
lochnessseammonster: yeah rogue is way more interesting
calculated_uncertainties: I'm sucking with a sorcerer right now, I might need to run a barbarian next. lol.
Goombill: That is a limitation of D&D 5e in general, there isn't a lot for the fighter classes to do
Isaac3567: Personally I enjoyed Paladin the most
Sethalidos: i LIKE mINSC AND bOO
raulghoulia: get yourself a githyanki girlfriend
calculated_uncertainties: Astarion is an aquired taste until a bit further down his storyline.
WolfgangCloud: You don't like Karlach?
Sethalidos: stupid caps lock
TXC2: nobody likes astarrion, you either love him or hate him
ghizmou:
n3ther: erm lol
mckblitz: oh lawd
BlindPathfinder: cant keep em all happy
WolfgangCloud: Best friend leaves you when you go for the convicted hot goth baddie
TheMerricat:
Oh Adam, Wiggin's chat found an anime about a high society girl whose 'deep secret' she keeps from everyone is she's a hardcore SF6 player.
calculated_uncertainties: @TXC2 I did not get the hype until much later. But I prefer my paramours to want to be fixed.
Mr_Horrible: mhm
Mr_Horrible: apparently the anime actually got a promotional license w/ capcom so it uses real SF6
n3ther: oh ya I watched the 1st two episodes of that. pretty fun
TXC2: cheevo get!
n3ther: that's funny that Wiggins of all people brought it up or was it just his chat hmm
Mr_Horrible: in the manga it's just a fictional fighting game
TheMerricat: @n3ther His chat, in his Discord specificly.
Vinewood_OG: It's a bit clunky
Mr_Horrible: I mean, it's a CRPG
Mr_Horrible: combat is usually the clunkiest part
TheMerricat: Adam hates D&D chat, you heard it here.
BlindPathfinder: when compared to pillars of eternity or bauldurs gate 2 it is pretty smooooth
calculated_uncertainties: The movement is a bit watch and play esque sometimes.
raulghoulia: Adams more of a Shadowrunner
raulghoulia: the combat in Baldurs Gate 3 is better than the combat in the Lone Wolf book series
CeridwenCoeur: Combat is usually the worst part of TTRPGs ans BG3 can't get around D&D's combat systems
calculated_uncertainties: I don't mind the system, but it does have issues.
lochnessseammonster:
Mr_Horrible: alright streamer, spin the punishment wheel *every slice is just "start another run"*
TheMerricat:
@raulghoulia what do you mean? In the Lone Wolf books you just say "It died" and you win.
BlindPathfinder: combat does get more and more cumbersome as the game advances the amount of abilities and spells just baloons
Mr_Horrible: they have the opposite of pathfinding
Mr_Horrible: because it's D&D
calculated_uncertainties: OMG, YES! Why does the AI want to kill them?!
Mr_Horrible:
TheMerricat: AI Pathfinding is every game's nemisis.

TXC2: Camera and Pathfinding: the two unsolvable problems of video game dev
TXC2: hello daedela welcome
BlindPathfinder: eh there need to be bits in between the dialog
Marvoleath: D&D does not have good combat system, and they had to stick to it to get the license
lochnessseammonster:
who knows if you're having fun but you're progressing
mckblitz: he wants the spiderman
raulghoulia: I love casting talk with animals to talk to all the animals
calculated_uncertainties: I heard he had potential in early versions to be a companion. That would've been so sweet.
Anubis169:
heya Adam
CeridwenCoeur: Can't parry lasers. But you can dash thriugh yellow lasers
Isaac3567: He is the best of the big three villains I think
calculated_uncertainties: He's the... most sympathetic of the big baddies, from certain angles.
ErynTzun rolls into chat
Mr_Horrible: @calculated_uncertainties this could either mean that he has a nuanced backstory or a great ass
Mr_Horrible: since it's BG3 it's a coinflip
ErynTzun:
oh hai 
TXC2: hello ErynTzun welcome
calculated_uncertainties: @Mr_Horrible Well, the armor hides it, but I can imagine it. And even if he didn't, JK Simmons' voice makes all things better.
Mr_Horrible: if you know what I'm sayin'
Mr_Horrible:
lochnessseammonster: king behaviour
7gorobei: going the full Shoresy
raulghoulia: never in a million years did I think empty her dishwasher was sexual
ghizmou: like she's your gran and you want to help her out cause she's so old
Marvoleath: drov are fem-dom species
Marvoleath: drow*
calculated_uncertainties: With Minthara, even if it isn't a sex thing, emptying her dishwasher totally is. lol
Wormsbane:
CeridwenCoeur: I did three halcyon farming runs before I remembered that I had the mod that prevents halcyons drops enabled. I just thought I was really unlucky
Mr_Horrible: this one feels more atmospheric
lamina5432: it's not immersive enough
Mr_Horrible: intentionally dissonant
7gorobei: not enough heavy drops and no whale song
Mr_Horrible: returnal was a lot more ambient scifi tones
Mr_Horrible: fair
raulghoulia: I'd like to take her garbage to the curb
Mr_Horrible: also tough to top Hyperion
ArtDecoSunburn: Seeing this from third person, I wonder when the duster jacket became the outfit of the rugged video game protagonist stereotype?
calculated_uncertainties: This music feels less storytelling, and more... something needed to be in the background.
Marvoleath: @ArtDecoSunburn probably coming from westerns?
Mr_Horrible: @calculated_uncertainties see this is the opposite to me
calculated_uncertainties: @Mr_Horrible Howso? for me it feels like it's just to keep it from feeling like a horror game.
Diabore: are there any bosses on the level of organ friend in this?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Marvoleath I assume that's what it's leaning into. Individualist frontier cowboy motifs, transposed to space.
TheMerricat:
@Marvoleath This. Westerns made this sort of jacket _the_ jacket you wore if you were the lone toughman doing toughman stuff with a squint in your eyes and a scowl on your face. And since 90% of male protagonists fit that stereotype.
Diabore: the music getting louder
lochnessseammonster:
yeah
BraveOthello: None of them attack you with Blue Oyster Cult on their combat pipe organ?
Mr_Horrible: @calculated_uncertainties at least from what I can remember watching it's felt like it's gotten more discordant as we've progressed, reinforcing the mental state of the characters and the state of the planet
CeridwenCoeur: Its an environmental factor that complicates movement and rewards map knowledge. Its not meant to be a primary hazard, more to complicate mob rooms
BlindPathfinder: yea the organ boss was peak visuals
Mr_Horrible: it's a lot of scratchier tones than in returnal
Mr_Horrible: which doesn't make for as good of listening, but complements the game well
calculated_uncertainties: @Mr_Horrible That's fair, I've not been in to all the game streams. I would have totally missed a longer musical narrative.
TheMerricat: So chat, I know that Adam was hoping to 'beat' this today. How much of the lore have we actually figured out naturally yet?
Mr_Horrible: @calculated_uncertainties I mean this is also just my take, so ymmv. I'm also working off of what I can remember
ArtDecoSunburn: @Mr_Horrible Like Kafka's "The Castle." The sentences get longer and the words more confusing as the novel progresses to reflect the main character's mental state as he keeps being stymied by environment and bureaucracy.
calculated_uncertainties: @Mr_Horrible Totally legit! I appreciate the insight. I've said before my main reason for watching these streams is the streamers, not the games, so I pay way less attention in the long term.
Anubis169: Noice!
Mr_Horrible: his smile and optimism, all his resources, goone
Mr_Horrible: *gone, good lord
Invitare: damage, probably
Mr_Horrible: I gotta fix this keyboard
calculated_uncertainties: our typos help prove our humanity.
Marvoleath: need more dakka
CeridwenCoeur: If you still feel to weak Carcosan Modifiers and delaying the eclipse are some more ways to fine tune dificulty.
BraveOthello: @calculated_uncertainties I'd like to get off this timeline pleases
BlindPathfinder: adam only likes noooormal hoooman guns
calculated_uncertainties: @BraveOthello Me too, friend, me too.
e_bloc: ah, Saros, the hands of fate

TXC2: missiles tend have a lot of explosives on them, and tend to hit accurately
Marvoleath:
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc "I'm here to do two things: build monumental stone edifices for others to discover, and chew gum. And I'm all out of gum."
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn I don't even have a functioning mandible
CeridwenCoeur: I think the repeater crossbow alt-fire homes in on weakspots, which is why the do so much damage
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Ha! Better get started on those flying buttresses in space, then!
accountmadeforants: Who up Saring their Os.
BraveOthello: Not a huge fan of the barfing minotaur elite
e_bloc: but when do we find the fjord environment
realbadatthis_: oh hell yeah, weekend Adam.
e_bloc: fun fact, Adam has to stream at least once a year or else the rights to 'Adam's Gamehaus' enter the public domain
ArtDecoSunburn: So did we conclude that the dead alien civilization whose remains we're pillaging was undone by shredded lettuce Taco Bell explosive diarrhea?
CeridwenCoeur: Optional rooms still have lucenite to build proficiency and potentially artifacts and weapons
CeridwenCoeur: Its not that bad
CeridwenCoeur: Downsides are also cleansed at thw end of the zone
accountmadeforants: @ArtDecoSunburn No, they died long before then. It was the Burger King Foot Lettuce that did them in.
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants That sounds even more unpleasant. Like it steps on you to squeeze more out.
e_bloc: at least in space no one can hear you shart
TXC2: "Big steppy!" said the lettuce
BraveOthello: I really wish it was getting hit, not taking damage, that was the trigger to reset adrenaline. Frustrated me in Returnal too
CeridwenCoeur: You didnt need to do anything. That was for the first timw hwre when you rebuilt the bridge amd got the parry ability
accountmadeforants:
If you had fun doing it you did what you were supposed to do 
e_bloc: @accountmadeforants I tried to make that case in court
ArtDecoSunburn: I appreciate how thorough and conscientious Adam is in picking up the loot. I wonder how he feels about games like "Gloomhaven" where you have to pre-plan loot pick ups as part of you turn, and some character archetypes barely get any loot as a consequence.
TXC2: it's very much a skill Adam picked up from Darkest dungeon
accountmadeforants: @ArtDecoSunburn Adam has played actual factual Gloomhaven as part of The Long Game
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants Right. Hence my question.
Mr_Horrible: me insisting I'm not complicit as I build the supervillain's secret lair
e_bloc: its a spectacular long game
e_bloc: put aside like 30 hours of your life and treat yourself
lamina5432: time to pick up frosthaven
Dog_of_Myth: It was a fun watch
ArtDecoSunburn: Some characters in Gloomhaven have a tricky time collecting loot due to their card combos. Built into the game structure.
e_bloc: do you enjoy random encounters fucking you in ways you never saw coming? try gloomhaven
ArtDecoSunburn: Cool. Neat.
lamina5432: yeah house ruled the loot in my gloomhaven run too
raulghoulia: @e_bloc the best game for that is Tales of the Arabian Nights
ArtDecoSunburn: I played the rock guy, and my co-players always scooped the gold before me using the official rules.
e_bloc: you saved the orphans! you start the dungeon injured and poisoned
ArtDecoSunburn: @raulghoulia Ha! Very true. That or Sid Meier's "Pirates."
accountmadeforants: Forget the Illusion of Choice, Gloomhaven teaches you that choosing things is for suckers.
e_bloc: the illusion of optimism
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants That's what my rat assassin friend says.
Marvoleath: I mean, it's not called Delighthaven
BrowneePointz: welcome to the League of Draven
ArtDecoSunburn: @Marvoleath Ironically up the coast. No dungeons at all. Some petty street crime, but otherwise a very livable burg.
e_bloc: but it doesnt have to be doomhaven either
Mr_Horrible: overdrivved
raulghoulia: !card illusion of choise

Diabore: 43 is big
itira: hey gamers
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc I think I encountered a town called that in an off-brand/open-license DND supplement in a store. It just screamed revived 1990s edgy angst.
TXC2: hello itira welcome
accountmadeforants: I still love the "Local man too angry to die" animation
ArtDecoSunburn: @accountmadeforants I love that, because it inspires me to imagine "Illusion of Chinoise," which card creates decorative 18th century Chinese-inspired wooden furniture.

calculated_uncertainties: thing happened, must be pain.
TXC2: big stretch!
jadielady: biiiig stretch
ArtDecoSunburn: @calculated_uncertainties Worked for Bertold Brecht for everything he ever wrote.
Mr_Horrible: what if there was like a 1/10000 chance to play a version of that animation where Arjun high-fives one of the hands before they retreat into the altar

Mr_Horrible: "ow, fuck, what the fuck? I'm leaving"
accountmadeforants: We'd teleport away from this bullshit too if we could
Mr_Horrible: I will say that think the arenas in this are laid out less satisfying than in Returnal
TXC2: we've been getting chevos today
Mr_Horrible: they kinda split the difference between an area you're meant to explore and a combat arena
Mr_Horrible: which leads to stuff like this where you have kinda hub-and-spoke with hazards in between but carrying the implicit "you *will* get surrounded" threat
Mr_Horrible: was that a yellow bullet that just got stuck? lol
Mr_Horrible: goop [malevolent]
e_bloc: how is Gwyneth Paltrow doing these days
TXC2: e_bloc oh she's batshit insane these days, and I don't use that word lightly
e_bloc: so about the same?
e_bloc: still slinging those jade eggs?
CeridwenCoeur: You can reroll your old gun to get a new option at your current proficiency too
loufghyslaufey:
"Shield Guy" problems? Require "Steal Shield" solutions 
CeridwenCoeur: The ricochet handcannons reload speed can be a blessing and a curse. If your proficiency is high enough you can just keep spamming the trigger and you'll hit it anyways, but theres an awkward period where its too narrow of a window
BlindPathfinder: ah yes the healthy get richer
CeridwenCoeur: When was the last time you got a smart rifle?
TXC2:
BlindPathfinder maybe that's why the US doesn't have healthcare?
e_bloc: they told us we could have guns or healthcare. we chose guns
BlindPathfinder: complaining about health appears to have spawned a mean room

BusTed: that was some spite
MacbethSeemsSus: Turned your ankle

Mr_Horrible: hard to quantify, but did Returnal really feel super different on that front?
Mr_Horrible: both being bullet hells, and all
BraveOthello: I think they really found something Returnal's formula*didn't* need with poison swamps
BusTed:
puddle 
CeridwenCoeur: One of the best modifiers in this game is the one that boosts damage. Just that and some negligible negative modifiers is enough to win runs
BlindPathfinder: puddle hurts your toesy woesies
BusTed: must be a cumulative thing over a window
Stevie_T: I don't want you to try, but can you shield the poison?
CeridwenCoeur: It might be using a gamewide clock to determine when the damage is active, so when you dip in is more important than how long youre in
e_bloc: what's better than an inscrutable poison mechanic
TXC2: is it the game, or the controller?
CuteTeaGoat: *hides plate of inputs*
Mr_Horrible: It's very likely that it's just piggybacking off the frame timer, so sometimes it'll tick right away and other times you'll have a bit of time to dip in and out
CeridwenCoeur: Break time after this run? You've been going for 2 hours at this point
BusTed: wookiee bowcaster doesn't seem too bad
Stevie_T: The crossbows that auto fire go crazy
Mr_Horrible: @BusTed this one SURELY would've killed Ben
CuteTeaGoat: looks a little more fun to use than the auto-rifle anyway
Mr_Horrible: Ben Solo, to be clear, not Adam's co-host
BusTed: @Mr_Horrible for sure
ghizmou: don t forget to brush your teeth tonight
e_bloc: time flies when a game is trying to get you to crash out
BlindPathfinder: you should take up wate polo adam
e_bloc: you'd finally learn how to swim
Invitare: I think there are horses
Mr_Horrible: I only know it's polo in the water
BlindPathfinder: its a needlessly obscure team sport
ThorSokar: water polo is for psychopaths
Mr_Horrible: there my knowledge ends
realbadatthis_: elaborate
CeridwenCoeur: Finally a smart rifle. Probably rhe strongest weapon in the game with the right mods
Invitare: then what makes it polo?
Mr_Horrible: yeah, those are kelpies
Mr_Horrible:
BusTed: thanks delicious in dungeon
7gorobei: its just like hockey where all the fighting takes place under the water out of sight of the audience
itira: hey Adam theres a laser there
Mr_Horrible: DKC2 ass hazards
MacbethSeemsSus: poison zoomies
Invitare: didn't skip leg day
BlindPathfinder: more people should strive for perplexing hobbies
Stevie_T: you can run
Mr_Horrible: because he's running from his mistakes, Adam
Mr_Horrible: might get a speed boost after getting hit?
Stevie_T: i forget
Stevie_T: hold dash?
e_bloc: two water polo players died during the 1904 olympics because the body of water they used to play in was also constantly getting shit in by cattle
BusTed: @e_bloc I can only picture the cattle just poised near the playing area
e_bloc: "The artificial lake created in the middle of the World’s Fair for the lifesaving exhibition was also used for livestock exhibits. Cattle at these exhibits grazed around and stood in the lake, and the water polo and swimming events were held at the other end of the lake. "
Invitare: I prefer the mints anyway
BlindPathfinder: polo in general seems like an ill advised sport
TXC2: Polo is like hockey on horseback
ThorSokar: Water Polo is for people who like trying to drown other people
SquareDotCube: Adam is more a Marco Polo man
e_bloc:
lifesaving exhibition 
BraveOthello: The only thing I know about polo is there are 40 legs on the field
CuteTeaGoat: so you only get one gun slot in this eh
rentar42: biblically accurate greed?
Invitare: @BraveOthello Clearly you've not seen millipede polo
BusTed: gaming?
CeridwenCoeur: If the poison is frustrating you so much you could try for the shattered descent or acolyte's [something] to either power up before or skip it
BlindPathfinder: there is so much goin on in this game
rentar42: those seem like lorge fellows ...
BlindPathfinder: big angy rarw
CeridwenCoeur: Your proficiency went up a lot so you can maybe reroll some old weapons for new options at this proficiency
BlindPathfinder: numbers bigger
TXC2: "everything’s fine, we all fine...how are you?"
itsr67: hello saros streamer
CeridwenCoeur: I think the repeatee will be very good for the boss fight
Stevie_T: crossbow go brr
BlindPathfinder: damage hurts lots
CeridwenCoeur: 8 more proficiency is a big boost regardless
CeridwenCoeur: For the elite stompy, you can parry the projectiles while dash is on cd
Stevie_T: so many of the negatives are like nothing, and then dash cooldown just ruins everything
BlindPathfinder: heh surprise
CeridwenCoeur: The timing is a little tight, but it helps
CeridwenCoeur: Jump scare elite
BlindPathfinder: poison damage is good for the soul
TXC2: keeps a man humble
CeridwenCoeur: I feel like they toned down adrenaline to de-emphasize it. Returnal adrenaline felt fantastic when you had it and miserable when you didnt
Stevie_T: your stat corrupted
CeridwenCoeur: When you get too much of a core stat it inverts

CeridwenCoeur: That eruptor looks gross
BlindPathfinder: puddle smelly
MilkInBags: dang i missed this, what is adam doing? post endgame stuff?
CeridwenCoeur: I really feel like the poison damage is on a global clock, so if you dip a toe in at the wrong time you get hit immediately, bur other times you get a jalf second to jump out. That time was unlucky
CeridwenCoeur: @MilkInBags Trying to beat the game
TXC2: hello MilkInBags I think we're still before the end
MilkInBags: oh ok thanks

MilkInBags: if you can't rawdog it, did you try to steam hot dog it
Stevie_T: are you using any modifiers or just keeping it vanilla for now
CeridwenCoeur: @Stevie_T Vanilla atm
MilkInBags: dont manifest it
MilkInBags: wow legion changed a bit since mass effect 3
CeridwenCoeur: I do think the modifiers are factored into the late game balance, cause I never had this much dificulty. That might also be 'cause i always did the full 2 hour run from shattered rise so I had way more build up
Stevie_T: yeah, I did the damage increase modifier and enough negatives to offset it
MilkInBags: unfort
BusTed: dang
TXC2: !break

MilkInBags: subscribe to adam facts
CeridwenCoeur: Life happened, you're good
e_bloc: I feel like picking up games like this is harder than most
e_bloc: after a break, I mean
Seagulyus: probably has a negative effect that needs to be purified. how it is in other roguelites
CeridwenCoeur: You havent gotten to that part of the story yet
CeridwenCoeur: New run reset the weapon's proficency so its worse than the one you died with. Plus your core stats are lower so the bonuses from them are worse as well
CeridwenCoeur: Of you could carey a 100+ proficiency weapon over from a 2hr run the game would be truly trivial
CeridwenCoeur: I just had the thought, but I think the reason adrenaline is worse than in Returnal is because of the new defensive options. Shield and parry help you not lose adrenaline so it need to be balanced around being around for more of the run
e_bloc: every single time
MilkInBags:
no i never get hit (yes)
e_bloc: if someone kills one of my scouts in the first 40 turns of civ I restart

MilkInBags: same tired concept of cards but whatever
BusTed: bro just one more defect run

ThorSokar: idk I've heard it's pretty mid, I'm gonna do just one more run real quick though

lochnessseammonster:

drewm1022: Gave like 2000% more phys damage or something.
drewm1022: Think I'm gonna play EK Ignite.
CeridwenCoeur: I uninstalled this game after I beat the story, but watvhing you gave me the itch to play it again. Turns out my safe file also got deleted, so now I'm starting fresh. Almost beat the Consort at the end of the tutorial, but theor patterns are different from when you normally encounter them so I died.

ArtDecoSunburn: The key to becoming less self-conscious is recognizing how insignificant you are in the universe. Few people are paying attention when they look at you, and those who notice details mostly don't care. Life is so much easier when you recognize you're not a main character.

eh, it's unique for everyone

whitefirecomix: So she likes jokes!
CeridwenCoeur: You can still pick them up, but in exchange for being so strong you might get some downside. Sometimes your unlucky, but generally volatility doesnt happen until you well above 100 in a stat so youre decently strong when the downside kicks in.
lochnessseammonster: that's an impressive moustache

Anubis169: are we ahead or behind that point right now?
James_the_Dabbler: Why does your avatar look like John Krasinski with a beard LMAO

Anubis169:

LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Rhythm Cafe (Heather and Ian continue their never-ending quest to play ALL THE RHYTHM GAMES! Game: Unbeatable) at Sun 04:00 PM PDT (1d, 0:02 from now).
BraveOthello: Things a baby face needs to say
lochnessseammonster:
ContingentCat: true Adam has been established babygirl
Anubis169:
SalamiSuperstar: It is pretty rude how similar the currency and corrupted bullets look
TheMadS8nt: from my experience the best heels are the ones that say they are the face
Anubis169:
That did so much damage
type_variable: randomized? in my roguelite?
Anubis169: ONE PLEASE
LowUpsideCJ: dan rogue, creator of the roguelike, would never stand for this
AlnessVT: @LowUpsideCJ I mean, he would but then he'd have to start again
LowUpsideCJ: is it about rafting?
Anubis169:
you say it's long, that's on you for not dying all the time
Strebenherz: o/
6 raiders from Lyinginbedmon have joined!
CeridwenCoeur: Yes, magicraft is very cool
Lyinginbedmon:
Anubis169: Welcome in raiders!
Anubis169: nope
BraveOthello: Never lost it
BraveOthello: Didn't even need that, just did it for the love of the game
Anubis169: never didn't not have it
BraveOthello: Think he has enough drive?
itsr67: joshua,,,
realbadatthis_: little chewbacca demon
TheMerricat: Chat I was AFK while listening to Adam, when he brought up how he liked Magicraft did anyone recommend Noita to him?
r10pez10: noita is hard
Anubis169:
but oh so satisfying
Anubis169: I think you've played Noita haven't you dude?
accountmadeforants: @Anubis169 He has on his homestream yeah
TheMerricat:
Nah, your joke about being 3rd screen material? I've got you on every TV in my apartment so I can hear/see you while I clean and get chili ready.
LowUpsideCJ: was a comedy factory while it lasted
r10pez10: adam is doctor breen from half life 2
Anubis169: you have to use some really big words
CeridwenCoeur: No this is the boat
accountmadeforants: Nice boat time
CeridwenCoeur: The one that knocks you off is a dead end if you choose to cross the bridge instead going to the swamps
BraveOthello: Looks like a spine ...
accountmadeforants: Frankly we really should be building our own skyscraper-sized human skeletons
Anubis169: HURK
Diabore: 84 is big
Anubis169: worth it
type_variable: reroll it?

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 (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
Anubis169:
big brain 
accountmadeforants: The game's suddenly decided you deserve more than a crumb of extra power I see.
Anubis169:
Kraken!
accountmadeforants: Wrex
BraveOthello: Wrec
BraveOthello: *wrex
MacbethSeemsSus: Wait. Shepherd. Legion. Are all bosses Mass Effect characters?
accountmadeforants: Wrex.
exeJayce: @MacbethSeemsSus it's the universe's sign to go play Mass Effect again
CaptainSpam: He's got slappies!
r10pez10: aw it has a smiley face
CaptainSpam: So if we win this, then we... blow up the sun? I think that's how this story's been going?
type_variable: no we just want wife back
CaptainSpam: Yeah, but before that.
r10pez10: adam did you just kill a god
Wormsbane:
TheMerricat: Do we already know any of the twists about 'wife'
lochnessseammonster: iiiiii'm gonna blow up the suuuuun
BraveOthello: @type_variable And I'm sure that'd going to happen and that there is no twist
Anubis169: Do we have more than one?
Anubis169: urgh that means we'll have to do another nightmare strain
type_variable: @BraveOthello yeah well considering the greed theme im betting wife left on purpose
CaptainSpam: @BraveOthello They certainly wouldn't put MORE cosmic horror in their cosmic horror game, right? Of course not.
BraveOthello: Nope. Not getting on that eleveator
LowUpsideCJ: ugh aiming
Critterbot:
"clip size" 
Anubis169: ok we're back here, but now we have have so much more in the way of kickassery
BraveOthello: @CaptainSpam *looks at Returnal's cosmic horror being a metaphor for grief* ... No ...
accountmadeforants: Aiming with a controller, couldn't be me
Anubis169:
lochnessseammonster:
TheMerricat:
"But will it be enough?"
lochnessseammonster: in space no one can hear you breathe
BusTed: The Adam Savidan story
TheMerricat:
Chat, even when Adam isn't playing "I'm the Boshy", Adam is playing "I'm the Boshy".
LowUpsideCJ: is that not the brand
shendaras: Just judging by weapon levels they're now like 40 levels higher.
7gorobei: took off the training weights moment
r10pez10: radaghn with whips when
Wormsbane: he specced his passive points and leveled his gems
shendaras: Oh, more like 50 levels higher
CeridwenCoeur: Your damage has been consistently MUCH higher this run so the modifier has been a game changer
r10pez10: it was very cool
TheMerricat:
Wheeler earns his pain.
lochnessseammonster:
wheeler appreciates a bit and stubbornness
type_variable: its a shame seamless coop came out much later
accountmadeforants:
Reading 
lochnessseammonster: same bestie
LowUpsideCJ: me at 4 years old
accountmadeforants: If you let the elevator take you further up does it do the Half-Life thing and eat your head?
lochnessseammonster:
Anubis169: You took -no- damage through all of that
SalamiSuperstar: What was the difference before?
BraveOthello: You think all these reaching hands are some sort of metaphor?
r10pez10: is he talking to the game or twitch chat
accountmadeforants:
@BraveOthello You might be reaching there 
lochnessseammonster: no thoughts, head empty
CaptainSpam: Subtext is for cowards.
ContingentCat: metaphor like subtext is for cowards
BraveOthello: Subtext is for cowards?
lochnessseammonster:
LowUpsideCJ: it's a metaphor for how stuff can be weird and gross
accountmadeforants: It's all a metaphor for even more glowing balls
TheMerricat: This game studio knows devs that use metaphors, chat. And they are all cowards.
CeridwenCoeur:
This game is extremely straightforward with its narrative
MacbethSeemsSus: It's a metaphor for trying to get things from the top shelf
r10pez10: turning turning
accountmadeforants: If only this game had Slug Shot
CeridwenCoeur: Your negative effects are gone
CeridwenCoeur: No m9re fall damage
r10pez10: the cosmic horror of revolving doors
TheMerricat:
I get that this is an cosmic horror location, but who puts their garden sprinklers on platforms INSIDE.
Sethalidos: none keys, left lock?
CeridwenCoeur: You have not
CeridwenCoeur: The boss is right after getting the second one so you'd remember if you'd done it
shendaras: You wouldn't take a forcefield in real life?
MacbethSeemsSus: *looks outside* oh good the smoke's back
Driosenth: Shields are for those who get hit
LowUpsideCJ: this game should have ratchet and clank grind rail puzzles
lochnessseammonster: cry
SalamiSuperstar: Die probably
BraveOthello: Check my map
Strebenherz: find the scary boss lady
Anubis169: in something like this?
accountmadeforants: I open the allegory for a jar
KeytarCat: fight a godskin noble
TheGameD0c: Rage
type_variable: i need to find the time to record more audiologs to leave for my descendants
Vinewood_OG: Get put in a juggernaut?
7gorobei: shoot the hostage
r10pez10: finding someone in a forcefield is the same as finding someone in a jar
realbadatthis_: probably starve
Anubis169: Gregorian Chant for starters, the acoustics in here are AMAZING
exeJayce: I'd be asking what entity I pissed off
arkham1981: see if anybody has any fried chicken then go from there
NotCainNorAbel: am I the good guy or the bad guy?
lochnessseammonster: IT IS
TheMerricat: Always has been.
Anubis169: no it's busted in DnD too
PipeSmokingOwl: it got hyper nerfed in 2024 DND
BraveOthello: Counterspell is and should be busted
lochnessseammonster:
i hate it
lochnessseammonster: in magic and d&d
BraveOthello: @PipeSmokingOwl One of many reasons I hate 2024
MacbethSeemsSus: I roll to rob the cosmis offertory
lochnessseammonster:
PipeSmokingOwl: @BraveOthello f no its the best as a forever DM.
raulghoulia: C O U N T E R
Anubis169:
a lot of players have indeed done that
TheMerricat:
"Just play around it!"
LowUpsideCJ: Can't counterspell a big ass hammer
ProcyonFlynn:
@LowUpsideCJ Shield 
KeytarCat: counterspell is best used by PCs and Story
TheMerricat: You see the answer to counterspell... is counterspell.
lochnessseammonster:
this is why i don't like wizards
PipeSmokingOwl: I did a 1-20+ campaign with tons of counterspell wars where players had to have cards saying the lvl of spell cast and we would reveal. It was fun for a bit but I am so happy for the nerf. Glad i experienced busted counterspell glad to be past it
BraveOthello: Simply counterspell the Time Stop
r10pez10: i knew magic was based off of D&D but i never connected that counterspell was from D&D
LowUpsideCJ: @ProcyonFlynn I'm playing golf and enemy spellcasters are the golf balls
MacbethSeemsSus: The guard's shield is enchanted with counterspell
KeytarCat: yo, you could do an "awful D&D" one-shot and just have all of your NPCs be the most obnoxious bs
PipeSmokingOwl: the real kicker...even my figher named NPCs had magic tatoos with counterspell
PipeSmokingOwl: oh its all melee people! HAHA fuckers counterspell
Anubis169: Let's get our death save back
PipeSmokingOwl: always cast Death Ward
Vinewood_OG: Throwing home early
Anubis169: jebus they're all so tanky!!
Anubis169: single enemy latch-on
MacbethSeemsSus: beeg taser

CeridwenCoeur: When you hold alt-fire it deals co stant damage to the enemies its embedded in before returninv
Anubis169: it's a very different type of weapon, less pew pew more attach and hold
TheMerricat: Sounds like it's a boss weapon and shitty for anything but a boss.
Anubis169: chopping and changing opponents isn't easy with it, which seems more your style
CeridwenCoeur: Its a lot of xamave, but it does take so.e getting used to.
CeridwenCoeur: Damage*
accountmadeforants: Yeah I think being able to just fire and forget is better than having to think about switching between enemies and holding down
accountmadeforants: Given the amount of bullshit on screen at any given time
TheMerricat: GG
Anubis169: FFFFFF
accountmadeforants:
BraveOthello: Time to go home!
Anubis169: that was a hell of a run though!
