TheMerricat: Ok chat, be chill about this, but Chilpoint is seconds late!
RockPusher tips over a chair
TheMerricat:
The eternal struggle chat. After swapping to a new streamer's stream, adjusting all the volume dials and sliders and buttons so that you can both hear and not be deafened in the new stream. 
TehAmelie:
ErynTzun:
TehAmelie: i like to keep the sliders at max on everything so i only have to adjust the basic PC speaker volume

BraveOthello:
TehAmelie: i'm so prepped. i even did the homework this time
Omnipotrevor: I get to catch a live one for once
nevyn666: there was homework 0.o
loufghyslaufey: @Thefluffiestguineapig Wait, what? No. You're not about to tell at least half of chat that they've been living under bedrock, are you?
RockPusher: May your babies be un-uglied!
RockPusher:
TheAinMAP:
Thefluffiestguineapig: @loufghyslaufey I was meaning the twitch stuff as well
RainyMint:
Thefluffiestguineapig:
BraveOthello:
mtvcdm: Today
loufghyslaufey: @Thefluffiestguineapig I mean, its a "CON" anyway, right?
RockPusher: I… er… you're not wrong per se
loufghyslaufey: Y'know? For "Cons Only"...??
TehAmelie: am i supposed to give my screens screens?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @loufghyslaufey I meant the future AI training on streamers. You should sign the petition

As long as LRR isn't your PiP second screen, second screen content, you are OK chat. 
RockPusher: Moonbase is haunted… by video game news
BraveOthello: @LRRbot I mean ... Thanks, LRRbot?
TheMerricat: This just in chat, Heather is the third Loud Boy.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Not Beej?
loufghyslaufey: Weh? Something's happening with (Chill)Checkpoint?
TheMerricat:
@Thefluffiestguineapig Beej is contractually part of the Luv Doctors, a separate promotion.
loufghyslaufey: But if there was an Owlbear on set day? Or something?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat So are Matt and Jordynne the other two Loud Boys? or is Heather an honorary member of the Nope promotion?
TheMerricat:
They didn't do it FOR you chat, unless you are a Patreon supporter, Youtube Superchater, or a Twitch sub.
TehAmelie: was there an echo for a second or are my ears going crosseyed?
TheMerricat:
@Thefluffiestguineapig Ben and Adam, so yes, Heather is a stealth Noper.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat I thought Alex would be the 3rd, or is he the manager?
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig Alex is a legacy member. No longer active so he doesn't technically count.
TheMerricat: The sigh.
Akaiatana: Do not make youtubers give you catharsis
mtvcdm: Remember everyone, take at least 20 hours every day to remind yourself of The Horrors or else *you're not being responsible*
mtvcdm: [do not do this]
loufghyslaufey: They want you to "Doom-Gloom" scroll-slop?
TheMerricat:
Checkpoint isn't our hate minute. We've got other youtubers for that. Chillpoint on the other hand...
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!)
TehAmelie: you can have your own anger time: take 15 minutes alone to write down the things you're angry about and yell. then you may be able to let it go.
TheMerricat: TBF, it's not unique to them but in this year of our Lord 2026, having maps that load scripts is something they should have twigged on being a risky choice. On the other other hand, Wallpaper Engine took till THIS year till they realized having executable wallpapers was a bad idea and took that category down from their workshop.
RockPusher: Small devs, turns out, probably not rocking a malware analysis sandbox
BusTed:
TheMerricat: The first computer worm, chat, was created in 1971. It was called the Creeper Worm because all it did was flash "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" on ever affected computer.
putz12a: To be 100% fair, in my experience, Software devs are not exactly tech-savvy when it comes to hardware/Security/OS usage. You'd think they should be, but I know a Dev that struggled to format a drive to reinstall Windows
RockPusher: I'm sad that it happened to what sound like nice enough devs, but it serves a good reminder that user-gen content does come with some risk trade-offs
putz12a: Different area of expertise

Juliamon: oh oops
mtvcdm: Paint The Hides of your Friends
Akaiatana: There are a chameleon of them out there
TheMerricat: Instagram has a bunch of title screens for a game called Mecha Cameleon but it looks as if they are just the OG game's title screen with a misspelling. I'm not willing to visit them to see if they are just streamers who don't know the real name or malware.
The_hell_cast_official: stream so chill it made me piss on the family dog
Getter404: Cube guy's been around since basically the first week, think someone used it in the Crossing The Streams
RockPusher: Un-Ugly That Baby!
TehAmelie: M'ecchi Chameleon, a steamy dating game about chameleons in terrible hats
The_hell_cast_official:
@TehAmelie 
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Ah, homonculi . . .
TheMerricat:
Chat, see, we didn't need AI for uncanny valley art.
Akaiatana: Checka Chameleon.
RockPusher:
Renaissance babies had to do more hard labor, hence the chiselled abs 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher I'm sure Da Vinci had an 8 pack then
ContingentCat: ah good I'm in time for the creepy babies
RockPusher: Baby Gomez Adams with the pencil moustache
Getter404: That baby has a Tiny French Mustache!
BusTed:
ContingentCat: the before babies look like they have child support payments to make
mtvcdm: The real game is when you start writing them in the style of crew members who aren't actually Checkpoint writers. Someone writes it like Kathleen or Jordynne or Serge.
SocraticMethod: top right looki like he would drink 40 light at local dive
Wolfstrike_NL: "There's milk on my lip, yea I drank it from your mother"
BusTed:
TehAmelie: baby. . .that's a name i have not heard in many years *puffs cigarette*
RockPusher: A silly excuse for Cameron to go off on a journey of erudite whimsy
Vinewood_OG: Yasssimshittification
Getter404: Tried that game somewhat recently. They locked turning off region chat behind leveling up. Never touching it again!

Invitare: have they considered just... printing more cards?
Vinewood_OG: Kathleen cracked the code
mtvcdm: @Invitare I don't think they can actually print them fast enough to stop this from happening
RockPusher: as far as I'm aware Pokemon don't have a restriction on reprinting
mtvcdm: It doesn't matter how many cards you make when someone can just decide to buy the whole truck
RockPusher: also it doesn't seem like the scalping behaviour is tied to value anymore anyway
RockPusher: it feels like it has moved to the tulips stage
TheMerricat: The problem is, it doesn't matter how many cards you print if scalpers get them _all_ before anyone else can. They'll just create an artificial rarity to drive up the price to make up the cost.
mtvcdm: And again they're doing it now to Palworld too and that game hasn't even really gotten off the ground yet. Make a game that scalpers *think* might carry value and they will snipe your entire product so nobody can play it.
mtvcdm: This happens to pretty much *any* trading card these days. Card games. Sports cards. Whatever.
Thefluffiestguineapig: One of my favorite things that happened is Mr. Beast trying to scalp Yu-Gi-Oh and people laughing at him
mtvcdm: It's real bad now but it's been going on since like the 80's and 90's with the baseball card glut of that era.
mtvcdm: People will buy these packs to *auction them off themselves*
KeytarCat: Bulbasaur veggie burger
Thefluffiestguineapig: @KeytarCat Would that be more of a Sunflora burger?
BusTed: They seem to have figured out promo card distribution at the exhibit in Chicago
mtvcdm: People see cards, kids see a fun thing, adults with money see a get rich quick scheme.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @mtvcdm Some kids have been influenced by social media and now rip packs for the value cards too apparently, which is harrowing to see
James_the_Dabbler: It's weird because I don't feel like Magic has this problem, at least not in the same way
northish: It's definitely most prevalent in the gaming sphere, but the scalper mentality is everywhere now it's ridiculous. It started with streetwear and bled out from there. Even the stupid Olive Garden pasta pass had a Secret Lair esque queue that filled up instantly
KeytarCat: drop a nug in a torcoal and breathe deep
TheMerricat: @James_the_Dabbler I can't say if it does or doesn't but I know that the subs for Magic sound like sinners moaning trying to get out of Hell every Secret Lair release because "no one can actually buy them"
Akaiatana: Imagine Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but misprints happened.
accountmadeforants: @TheMerricat Ehhhh, there is a limit at which there simply isn't enough money in between all the scalpers to buy everything. The risk is that Nintendo/Konami/Wizards/whoever prints so much that even after the scalpers buy up everything they can, they end up with more than they can sell (plus the scalpers will be forced to sell their cards as well, mucking up the demand side even more)
mtvcdm: I'm fortunate I think that the only card series I've gotten nerdsniped by is a series of oversized cards from the 70's that's long out of circulation where the market is just, settled.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @James_the_Dabbler It probably can, I just think it is probably less so because the audience skews older and the money threshold is likely higher
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: My other half has a colleague who keeps an expensive card in their phone case in case of emergencies. This person is, of course, an idiot.
KeytarCat: Cards are made for playing!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving ......what emergencies?
KeytarCat: Fuck collectors, or sex tourists
Juliamon: at-leer
ContingentCat: @James_the_Dabbler Not as popular with young kids being a more complicated game and they don't do the same kind of promos, and fewer small cute animals there's less merch for kids
Vinewood_OG: "Curb stomped for a carboard picture of a cartoon beanie baby" is a pretty stupid eulogy
BusTed:
mtvcdm: Atlanta it is
accountmadeforants: People in the game don't know how to pronounce words
TehAmelie: the announcer in Street Fighter calls Zangief Zongyaf, what do games know
Getter404: Just like how the cat riding a moogle puppet is Kett Shee. Respect the language!
Vinewood_OG: Stronk?
tdapenguin: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving Like, instead of some emergency cash?
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Thefluffiestguineapig The sort of unspecified emergencies someone who has self published a book on Christianity would imagine. You know, needing to pay for car repairs when no banking system exists.
Juliamon: Atelier is in the same category as Tidus in "we respect that it's officially pronounced one way, but we also are going to pointedly ignore that"
LordZarano: 'Unadapted borrowing from French atelier, from Middle French astelier, from astelle (“small piece of wood, etc., to hold a broken bone in place, splint”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eḱs- (“axis; axle”) via Latin assula) + -ier (suffix denoting the location of an abode).'
Seagulyus: it actually depends on the game. alchemy is used to make near everything from items to equipment to restoratives and boms
tdapenguin: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving Ah.
Getter404: We had this 20 years ago in San Andreas
accountmadeforants: The atelier devs found out about how much money they could make from horny people after that one time they made the girl with the really thick thighs.
TheMerricat:
So chat, there are several mods for Skyrim that do this for you.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @tdapenguin Yup.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving Ah, and paying for car repairs where the mechanic somehow thinks a card that is definitely not mint quality will work for
Laserbeaks_Fury: Remember Polygon's quest for Fat Arthur in RDR2
Getter404: @Laserbeaks_Fury I only remember the Very Large Dumb Horse
ContingentCat: I guess catering to kinks is a marketing strategy
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @Thefluffiestguineapig Indeed. A special mind. Formerly a banker . . .
SocraticMethod: Probably dev were trying to push it to management and needed some hard metrics to convince
dumbo3k: Fable had the kind of foods you ate affect your characters weight, IIRC
Laserbeaks_Fury: When RDR2 released, there was a bug where you couldn't get Arthur to gain weight no matter how much you ate, even though that was supposed to be a thing.
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod "Listen, this isn't just *my* fetish"
TheMerricat:
Look LRRfolk, if it's like any sort of video game food, you are eating 5 course dinners every 10 minutes.
RockPusher: "Yes (normal)" vs "Yes (degenerately online)"
Seagulyus: there is zero character customization other than prefab outfits
SocraticMethod: @accountmadeforants It's probably not even a fetish even, just japanese management being really averse to portraying anything but a standard anime waif
Seagulyus: there was base building in Yumia, thats the closest
SocraticMethod: In Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories, we are considering a feature where Karia’s body shape changes as she eats meals or snacks. How do you feel about this feature?
accountmadeforants: Or just where their stomach just becomes an orb
SocraticMethod: I would like this feature / I would prefer not to have this feature / I have no preference regarding this feature
Boopity:
ContingentCat: very important part of any game yes
Boopity: Remember Atelier Ryza's thighs reflect the strength of the Japanese economy
Seagulyus: Yumia and Ryza both have that problem
SocraticMethod: They have an example in the survey above
TheMerricat:
@Boopity 
accountmadeforants:
That was something they specifically found out with Ryza and they were surprised how well that game sold 
Seagulyus: why do her boobs grow?!
Vinewood_OG: Adjust the fupa slider
Juliamon: boobs are fat
Seagulyus: they dont collect fat THAT QUICKLY
ContingentCat: to be fair that does happen when you gain weight
BusTed: the tie gets shorter
Akaiatana: Ties are not load bearing
JKBalch: Looks like her accessories also got bigger
mtvcdm: That's not the proportion that they grow
Juliamon: you can't really control where the fat accumulates
Boopity: She is... "fat" (not bony, which is the "normal" stature in anime)

SocraticMethod: THere is a more detailed picture lower down @LoadingReadyRun
lirazel64: Perspective
RockPusher: The mass from the tie is now in the boobs
mtvcdm: That's how much they got bigger
Seagulyus: you can see her belt is not rendered
accountmadeforants: She planned her clothes real well (save for the belts around her thighs)
SquareDotCube: it's a quick sketch
Juliamon: that's just a healthy person on the right
Boopity: "Look at how fat she is" > normal real life woman physique
mtvcdm: The string holding her top to her torso got real thin like it doesn't like its job anymore
ContingentCat: not as bad as I'd expect from the story
mtvcdm: I think her cheeks puffed out a bit too

Seagulyus: Game Masters
TehAmelie: that's a rookie move, in Eve Online they're sneakier with just giving their guidies free spaceships and such
Akaiatana: GM
TheMerricat: And if I understand correctly this wasn't even a 'hard' raid they called him on on. Though it was a leaderboard type deal.
BusTed: High mythic+ key, right?
couchboyj: High key mythic+ dungeon iirc
SocraticMethod: It wasn't because team was in danger, it's because the team was missing a kill and were danger of failing the dungeon.
SocraticMethod: And the completion of dungeon was only for leaderboard title bragging rights
couchboyj: Yeah, mythic+ dungeons are timed
TheMerricat:
@BusTed "+23 Mythic+ dungeon (Nexus-Point Xenas)" is what the internet tells me. I quit before Burning Cataclysm so.. i have no idea what that means.
Foxmar320: I had a GM use killall in City of Heroes once when a monster spawned under the map
Boopity: That's hilarious
BusTed: @TheMerricat Yeah that's on the extreme high end
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: avoiding class by pulling the fire alarm
BusTed: Needless to say, that GM was ejected into the sun
TehAmelie: @SarkhanGluedBackTogether and you're the TA
Boopity: Like... surely the GM knew what they were doing when they did this?
SocraticMethod: There was a leaderboard reset coming on, and top X ranks get a title. The GM lost their jobs literally for bragging rights lol
SocraticMethod: and insult to injury, the players were also ragging to GM
Marvoleath: Are the GMs actually Microa
Marvoleath: MicroActiBlizzKing employees?
NotCainNorAbel: If they made this choice it was likley that they had made other poor choices
Akaiatana: I know they aren't doing many promotions right now. Layoffs are less common.
Marvoleath: If they are just external contractors, it might be more harsh
SocraticMethod: Leaderboards in WoW are Serious Bussiness, GM could have been thrown to wolves to placate the hardcore crowd
RockPusher: Institutional knowledge doesn't create shareholder value
SocraticMethod:
They should contract Yoko Taro so they could remaster it into Drag-on Dragoon Age 
Marvoleath: "Cant be done" (for a cost that would likely make them notably more money than they spent)
Getter404: Didn't he call them "a hedge fund that sometimes puts out a game"
KeytarCat: FF7: remake is a sequel
Getter404: Oh come on, that's a PC Gamer title, that's already like 1/3 of the article body
TheMerricat:
@Getter404
radiowasabi2014: yes
Getter404: VI is the robot walkers, the opera, suplexing the train, and the Demon Clown God

SocraticMethod: @Getter404 Son of Submariner!
Getter404: Mister Thou!
radiowasabi2014: an FFVIII remake would be like 4 games because it's so much longer than VII
radiowasabi2014: and IX would be even longer
RockPusher: It goes other places!
TehAmelie: they skipped over translating FF2 and 3 to English, then they did 4 and called it 2, skipped 5 and called 6 3, extremely normal uncomplicated process am i right
Getter404: IX would be exactly the same length and you would need to unlock the new content by entering code REMAKE at Playonline
Wolfstrike_NL: I wonder how many parts the FFFXI and FFXIV remake games will be
SocraticMethod: Is beej talking about Wormhole X-Treme! I didn't know it was based on Stargåte
TehAmelie: @Wolfstrike_NL it'll be the time to reverse the trend and turn them into trimmed down single player games
radiowasabi2014: pretty much
Foxmar320: Or fill it with minigames
TehAmelie: zing
BalthusHomewood: A bit yeah
Laserbeaks_Fury: Hamlet Pt 3: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
Getter404: The river sequence with Bannon would take 4 hours
RubikDarkwill: @Wolfstrike_NL For 14: 12 games so far by separating the expansions and patch content. 13th is coming in January
BusTed: "concept art"
Akaiatana: Duo Lisa, Trio Lisa
RockPusher: Finally get around to installing the user-selectable eyebrows
Boopity: To be fair, the FF7 remake is also a full on meta-narrative reimagining, rather than the actual original FF7
TehAmelie:
@Getter404 that's normal if you're either min- or max leveling 
ZephyrousOne: I can see FFVI being made into 2 games, but not 5
Getter404: @TehAmelie WITHOUT putting rubber bands on the controller, mind you
Getter404: VI is pretty explicitly two distinct halves
BusTed: pretty distinct
TehAmelie: oh no
Foxmar320: World exploded? Sonic game or Square game
RockPusher: To be continued…
KeytarCat: God, I love golden sun
Wolfstrike_NL: YES
KeytarCat: I just played 3. It's not as good
KeytarCat: cute, but not as good
Wolfstrike_NL: There is a third game
Omnipotrevor: But they aren't splitting them for narrative reasons like that. They're splitting them literally just to pad them out
Getter404: Oh no... if it was 2 parts they'd probably make it impossible to lose Shadow
Wolfstrike_NL: There needs to be a 4th gam!
Omnipotrevor: But do we really need to give Kefka time traveling powers?
TehAmelie: it's about as nuances as opera
Laserbeaks_Fury: You can flesh out Gao's whole thing
couchboyj: that laugh
TehAmelie: little pixel faces projecting to the back seat
TehAmelie: s
Boopity:
I hope they straight up just keep his bitmoshed laugh from the original
BusTed: iconic laugh
Laserbeaks_Fury: You just make Kefka someone out of JoJo
Akaiatana: The original is midi ogre.
TehAmelie: fun fact: SNES had 3 sound channels
Getter404: And then the first Tales game just squeezed fully voiced pop songs onto the Super Famicom
TehAmelie: so they did those midis with no more than 3 notes playing at a time
Manae: They HAVE wriitten that opera
Laserbeaks_Fury: You just know suplexing the train would be a 10 minute cutscene
KeytarCat: 3 4 and 5 have the 3D
Wolfstrike_NL: pixel remaster was the bundle right?
Thefluffiestguineapig: No, no you can't
Thefluffiestguineapig: But the stupidity is part of it
Getter404: Oh it's almost exactly as big in Japan. Gilgamesh alone!
Laserbeaks_Fury: that Mother bump
Akaiatana: Mother 3, FF5, Beyond Good and Evil 2
radiowasabi2014: FFV had all the slapstick
Boopity:
Incredible
BusTed: "that sure looks important"
Boopity: Truly the best way to experience the entire franchise
Getter404: But people love it more for the gameplay than mechanics than the characters, kinda like Tactics
TehAmelie: i have a similar feeling about FF6, because due to a bad NTSC-PAL adapter it took me 12 years to "see the ending" after i finished it
Getter404: It was the *good* Job Class game, unlike III where... an attempt was made
LRRbot:

couchboyj: The tail is 9
ZephyrousOne: None of thoe people are in 8
Boopity:
Getter404: Cloak & Tail Guy were IX. 8 was the corgi being used as rocket launcher ammo
Akaiatana: Heather is so over the moon
TehAmelie: 9 does suffer from early 3D in much the same way as 7
KeytarCat: 8 was the highschool romance anime
couchboyj: About time traveling child soldiers, yeah
Getter404: I stand by my theory that 8 is a SaGa game that got mislabeled somewhere in post-production
accountmadeforants: Is it the one for catching the shiny Tauros?
KeytarCat:
@Getter404 
gibbousm: that's so many gamecubes
Invitare: That's a GameHypercube
gibbousm: Paul, you're going to need to step up with the Playstations
ErynTzun: And it has 16 channels
SquareDotCube: good ol' 800MHz RF
Getter404: You have to set it & the receiver on the same frequency, yeah
Foxmar320: GBA adapter
Seagulyus: game boy player on gamecube
Foxmar320: This is an expensive setup
Seagulyus: its only 250 dollars! but yeah there is also the GBA adapter to move it to the games
BusTed: wild
Wrexadecimal: dear lord.
Foxmar320: Yep GBA players under each gamecube
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: You can rig the controller on a smaller budget with some Pi pico boards and some cheap RF modules
KeytarCat: I watched a vid on a universal TAS of gen 1. Real statistics bs
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is.....sure a hobby
Wolfstrike_NL: Yea it has an extra sparkle animation
BusTed: ahh
Juliamon: I can think of many worse hobbies to have
KeytarCat: "Be glad, I could be doing cocaine!"
Boopity: As children we found a shiny Magikarp and ran away because we thought our game was bugged 💀
Foxmar320: The Legends games both have a free shiny in them
Wolfstrike_NL: Can catch or beat, either works
KeytarCat: you are allowed to catch it. I accidentally ran
Foxmar320: Im so tired of neon green shinys
BusTed: poor dragonite
BusTed: at least the mega is cool
Boopity:
Or the ones that are _just_ slightly off-color
Akaiatana: They are hard to find because they chroma key out
Boopity:
Yes Paul, correct 
Foxmar320: Yeah I didn't like the Terra hats
TehAmelie: i liked the one with the long pokemon. Alola island or something?
Akaiatana: The story is done, but all the magazines were sold out

KeytarCat: Fortnite, pitting users against each other? Quelle suprise!
TehAmelie: how much computing power does it take to run 15,000 Fortnight bots, i wonder
Foxmar320: Not even a slap on the wrist lol
TheMerricat: Unreal Engine.
Wolfstrike_NL: rocket league, fall guys
Akaiatana: They are evil valve.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Fall guys is the one I think of
KeytarCat: No more monthly free games
mtvcdm: We will buy your favorite game and ban you from it
TheMerricat: GoDot. Unity.
LordZarano: ZZT for MS-DOS
Boopity: I remember that stream of Rhythm Cafe where they played Fortnite because they apparently bought out the Guitar Hero (or similar) devs and made them put it in Fortnite
wildpeaks: g'dot *tips fedora*
TheMerricat:
Cuneiform! You can now code in Cuneiform!
accountmadeforants: @TehAmelie Depending on how the bots work and how well-optimized they are, you could run that many on a single regular desktop PC.
Akaiatana: People have been waiting for Godot for a while.
RockPusher: Beneficiaries of Unity (and Unreal) shooting themselves in the foot
Boopity: Shoutout to Megacrit for switching StS2 to Godot mid-development
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Godot is starting to gain traction among the lewd game set
Juliamon: Oh I love this story
TheMerricat:
@FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving 'starting'.
Boopity: Um
wildpeaks: finally
TehAmelie: ah, so this is how we'll get M'ecchi Chameleon
Getter404: Inferior Copper Ingot Store Simulator 2026
RockPusher: ah, so unicode name support
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @TheMerricat Fair.
johnnylongtorso: if Ea-Nassir were a programmer
DoodlestheGreat: ~/I like a man who reads cuniform.../~
ErynTzun: Can you program in Wingdings
accountmadeforants: @ErynTzun Wingdings is a font, so not part of unicode. But you could definitely use some weird symbols, or just some emojis.
loufghyslaufey: I saw the mention of Unity & wondered that, "well, that can't be nothing new of them, I suppose?" Right?
RockPusher: char 💩[50];
RockPusher: printf("This variable is %s\n", 💩);
Boopity:
This reminds me of people macro-ing their languages to change key syntaxes like if, false, etc. to slang like "bro", "cap", etc.
loufghyslaufey: !next
LRRbot: Next scheduled stream: Rhythm Cafe (Heather and Ian continue their never-ending quest to play ALL THE RHYTHM GAMES! Game: Bits & Bops) at Sun 04:00 PM PDT (1d, 1:25 from now).
accountmadeforants:
@accountmadeforants You could, however, change your IDE's font to wingdings
UnknownFriday: Wait, they're creating the next Voynich Manuscript?
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: The weirdness of Unicode is central to it's success
johnnylongtorso: uniconsortium
LordZarano: Klingon is not in unicode, Klingon is in the Private Use Area conlang registry
Boopity:
Wingding coven
Akaiatana: Cabalt is a good pun
ContingentCat: companies are often supervillians
Invitare: I feel that Heather is onto a Crapshot here
loufghyslaufey: Cabals? Yikes.
RockPusher: Encoding all forms of written language for computers
Driosenth: The person who implements the new symbols for the Unicode Consortium could probably sneak in new characters without anyone noticing.
JKBalch: Wingding flock?
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: There will always be a demand for unassigned characters
TehAmelie: Emoticoven
Boopity:
Let us wingding 
accountmadeforants: Unicode also theoretically lets you "combine" any two characters (and combinations of combinations). But very few of those combinations actually render. E.g. "🙂↔️" is the combination "🙂 ↔"
JKBalch: ✌︎●︎●︎ ♒︎♋︎♓︎●︎ ☟︎♏︎♋︎⧫︎♒︎♏︎❒︎ ♋︎■︎♎︎ 🏱︎♋︎◆︎●︎📬︎ ✌︎■︎♎︎ 👌︎♏︎♏︎🙰 ⧫︎□︎□︎📬︎
accountmadeforants: Oh lmao Twitch chat doesn't even render it properly on my end (it's supposed to be a shaking head)
KeytarCat: @accountmadeforants those posted as the same string for me
adept_nekomancer: Those who enjoy monospace fonts might prefer the Courier Coterie
Wolfstrike_NL: I'd nominate PharmacistJudge for the Wingdings club, with the DB shenanigans
thegreatwyrdling: ⬧︎♓︎⌧︎ ⬧︎♏︎❖︎♏︎■︎

Getter404: Good Bummer
KeytarCat: prepare for bum
ghyllnox: Striking is an important component of having a union
accountmadeforants:
@TheMerricat Yeah, it's weird. I guess Twitch chat breaks it up (or the font it uses does). You can look up "Head Shaking Horizontally" to see what it's supposed to be. (And try pasting it yourself and see Twitch deconstruct it into its base components )
Thefluffiestguineapig: But part of the point of a union is to have funds like that
ErynTzun: Look for your car in a series of mazes and parking lots while you talk to your therapist about why do you keep dreaming about them
ghyllnox: "How fast can you eat drywall"
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig If only software engineers hadn't spent two decades pretending unions were evil because they wanted to think of themselves as white collar employees, not blue collar ones.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat You could insert so many other jobs in there
LordZarano: @accountmadeforants Oh RIGHT! I remember seeing something about this in the FFZ settings. Twitch strips zerowidthjoiners
Getter404: Full Contact Mahjong
JKBalch: Ron me will you!
ErynTzun: Aren't you tired of being nice? Don’t you just want to… bite something? The Struggle Is Real Drywall Eating Simulator is a physics-based 3D adventure carefully constructed to simulate the delights of late capitalist life. Engage in small talk, hit your KPIs, and maximize value for shareholders. And when you can’t take it anymore you go and eat some drywall.
LordZarano: @accountmadeforants (so FFZ adds a setting to replace them with something else so if other people also have FFZ it can change them back)
accountmadeforants:
@LordZarano I have to assume someone broke something at some point and that was the fix
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Someone my dad worked with had a Vectrex. Also an orcherd, and bee hives.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: *orchard
Wolfstrike_NL: Grandkids: "Who made this shit? "
couchboyj: The REAL Lost Levels
accountmadeforants: He's got Oracle of Secrets
ErynTzun: Mashahiro Sakuri looks to be pretty good at Smash Bros when demonstrating thew new characters. We've seen Sakuri's living room as he's shared a photo, he has so many consoles, so many that aren't Nintendo as well. He also tips on how he stores his physical games.
ErynTzun: *Sakurai
TheMerricat: His kids were born in the 80s, so the grandkids have to be getting close to the teens.
Akaiatana: Penelope must hate LRR
accountmadeforants: Until they Git Gud enough
Boopity:
accountmadeforants: "Daddy what's with all the feet and hands?"
KeytarCat: "You aren't supposed to like it here!"
TehAmelie: the guy what directs the Dark Souls is a self-described masochist

TehAmelie: obviously, like, "why would i make these games cause i want to hurt people? i make them because i want to hurt myself"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie shocking, look at my shocked face
accountmadeforants: A multiplayer game from ten years ago? And it didn't need central servers that are now shut down??? Unpossible!
TheMerricat: Chat, this is completely random, but I only caught part of yesterday's PPR. Did anyone ever catch the 'joke' WotC made with the token cards? The ones for the set read "Tolkien" instead of Token.
Boopity:
O-Oh...
accountmadeforants: The game does look kinda good
ContingentCat: I hope some of them try it out out of curiosity
RockPusher: I accidentally made a multiplayer mod harness for Undertale
TheMerricat: I wonder if Space War didn't have the right flags, that's the normal game people use to spoof Steam.
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @RockPusher Help me, Truck-kun
MrDrLewis subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 44 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, MrDrLewis! (Today's storm count: 10)
Akaiatana: It's a case of reverse rickrolling?
accountmadeforants: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving On that note, "Truck-kun Is Supporting Me From Another World" is out and great and predictably bonkers (some performance issues though)
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @accountmadeforants Ooh, I'm going to stick that in my clipboard.
Laserbeaks_Fury: "I don't know, Carl, what *DO* we do with a drunken sailor?"
ghyllnox: LMAO
TehAmelie: put him in the longboat till he's sober, put him *is thrown overboard*
ErynTzun: hahaha
SquareDotCube: Talking about Robo's Theme
couchboyj: Robo's Theme?
ErynTzun: Yes it does
KeytarCat: baaa baaaa, baaa baaa, badabada baaaa baaaa, boooooo
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving Or just buy it. Damn this rum. >.>
e_bloc: Robo's theme slaps
ErynTzun: Chrono Trigger never leaves my 3DS card slot, I have played it so many times.
e_bloc: when does the AC rhythm game come out
ErynTzun: I have bought it so many times ;__;
accountmadeforants:
@FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving
ContingentCat: yeah I hear it
gibbousm:
e_bloc: 10000% in retrospect
TheMerricat: "The composer swears he'd never heard the song in question in his life until it was mentioned to him. "
couchboyj: I will never let Robo down
Akaiatana: Robo did not learn magic.
Bruceski: Or, are they one of today's lucky 10,000 to learn about RoboRoll?
e_bloc: we did leave him for 10,000 years or something though right
ErynTzun: Never Gonna Give You Up came out in 1997
ContingentCat: of all songs to have this happen with I'm glad it's not a terrible song at least
ErynTzun: sorry 1987
ErynTzun: no 87
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: Astley does predate that. Now, I'm just going to the corner to crumble to dust.
ErynTzun: keysmashhh
Akaiatana:
Rick Astley debuted in the grunge era 
TehAmelie: ha, i thought it was just retro on purpose
KeytarCat: He has a great Pink Pony Club cover
ErynTzun: It came out when I was HS, it was already overplayed then.
Invitare: Mary Berry has played drums for Rick Astley
Invitare: yes, the person from the original Bake Off series
Bruceski: "whelp, career's back."
LordZarano: Rick has described the song as "a bit naff"
RubikDarkwill: "We finally gave him up"
e_bloc: I enjoyed his cover of "Seventeen going under" at Glastonbury last year or the year before
accountmadeforants: Like the "Trololo" song
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: One hit wonders are often the nicest people you could meet on the pub gig circuit. Chesney Hawkes is lovely.
Seagulyus: he was bankrupt until the rickroll. that literally saved his life IIRC, he just suddenly had millions of dollars every year
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RubikDarkwill No, "he finally gave us up"
e_bloc: must be nice
TehAmelie: the funniest thing was when Ted Lasso rickrolled the viewers. FOUR times in one episode.
ErynTzun: He wasn't a one hit wonder though
LordZarano: There's a *very* early xkcd about rick rolling Rick Astley
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: You will also never see something quite like Arthur Brown sitting on a small table with a pint of lager and his fire hat.
thegreatwyrdling: Nice hat Heather.
itira:
e_bloc: progress
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: "I am the god of hellfire and I give you . . . a glass of Red Stripe."

Laserbeaks_Fury: How long untiil tablet support
RockPusher: Good old Russian Malware
kingandcommoner: cameron sitting quietly staring into the camera
e_bloc: a Cameron and Chat morning
BusTed: has he done a james-only episode
Invitare: I feel like if anyone was willing to commit to that bit, it'd be Cam
Thefluffiestguineapig: I mean, so half of Cam and Ian Christmas?
ErynTzun: So no one on Tech either?
e_bloc: thats a christmas thing I thought
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@e_bloc Same brain cell
e_bloc: can it start at 9 a.m. and involve a bottle of whiskey
BusTed: excellent
Laserbeaks_Fury: Look forward to Thomas the Tankhead
e_bloc: if you haven't seen the Koopas dispose of a body at the beginning of RE
Seagulyus: I remember that from the highlight reel
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh yeah, and he added more as it went on
e_bloc: the explosive conclusion
Getter404: Ah damn, was hoping for a Nemesis Op
