Spoon™ 
TXC2: TODAY!
TXC2: hello Heather and Paul
ButButTheJesus: i was...
TXC2: the Beej area?
RockPusher: Beej will be Experienced
Julian_Rogue: There's a designated beej area? how do we gain access?
calculated_uncertainties: @Julian_Rogue are we sure that's a good idea?
TheAinMAP:
Hello 
TheAinMAP: There's good news to discuss this week.
Julian_Rogue: And Blizzcon is going on right now!
RockPusher: First you wett the Links…
Julian_Rogue: @calculated_uncertainties I'm not known for my "good" ideas
ButButTheJesus: @RockPusher then you age the Links like 7 years
calculated_uncertainties: @Julian_Rogue I'm sure they're fun, though.
TXC2: UNION FOREVER
Julian_Rogue: @calculated_uncertainties That's usualy the goal lmoa
RockPusher: More! More!
ButButTheJesus:
UNIONS WOOOOO 
TheMerricat: Weird Voltron concept, but I'll buy it. "And I'll form the UNION!"
Syntheticuh:
idk if we've chatted about it here but im pretty bummed that the new insomniac game is getting panned. hoping this doesnt result in more layoffs for them 
ErynTzun:
oh hai 
Juliamon: Syntheticuh Hasn't been discussed yet, probably after the Checkpoint stories though bc it's dominating the news today
TheMerricat: @Syntheticuh Is that Wolverine? Is it quality or are people just Marvel Burnt Out?
TXC2: hello ErynTzun welcome
Julian_Rogue:
It's almost like quality of life affects everyone 
shame workers have to unionize to get it now if the rest of WOTC Unionizes too it'll be glorious.
Juliamon: (or at least, dominating the tips line channel)
Syntheticuh: ah yeah good call, thanks
ButButTheJesus: they did 1 point of good
Syntheticuh: @TheMerricat ya the wolverine game. reviews have not been kind so far quality wise
Juliamon: TheMerricat It's Wolverine yes, and they made some... weird choices
TheMerricat: Well that's sad. I really like watching Wiggins play the Spiderman games.
RockPusher: Good PR by not actively hitting yourself is a solid strategy nowadays
ThanhtTheBoss:
I'm not Marvel Burnt Out. I'm so excited for VisionQuest. 
Julian_Rogue: I mean that's worked for Steam/Valve for years. doing the bare minimum and having human decency and other companies catching L's over L's then trying to sue steam for making them look bad
Syntheticuh: its such a rough state of the industry when you see a game get some bad reviews and have to go "oh no hope they dont get layoffs" instead of "dang, hope they learn from it and the next game rules"
RockPusher: ButtUnion?
Juliamon: but the mandatory fart trail discourse must wait for later
ErynTzun: The least you can do is be like the Tetris company is just a very weird sentence
Julian_Rogue: @RockPusher If you have Bunions there's a cream you can get
bytecaster: Until they stop ignoring Warcraft 3, I will always have beef with Blizzard
TheMerricat: @Julian_Rogue TBF while they do the 'bare minimum' in some places, they also are banger in other areas that aren't as noticeable. Their customer service group, specifically with dealing with Steam account issues, is rather good and lauded.
bytecaster: Diablo 2 got a friggin' expansion
TXC2: "games"
ErynTzun: Yes I did not have much money for games when young either. Working three jobs at times in the 90s.
RockPusher: ie par for the course in current times
TheMerricat:
@bytecaster But they made that so well received remaster of 3! .
ButButTheJesus: I hadn't hear this one
bytecaster: I assume it's all vibe coded
bytecaster: So not that much effort
Juliamon: It's an inflammatory distraction
tcat13 subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 103 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, tcat13! (Today's storm count: 5)
bytecaster: They do love posting AI stuff after all
Marvoleath: "Slopaganda" is a 10/10 neologism
bytecaster: It's all simple retro games, because that is what is easy to vibe code
ErynTzun: Low to no effort games
TXC2:
games from the 80s AKA the last time dumpf could form memories 
ErynTzun:
Those games are insulting to 80s games tyvm 
Juliamon: It's a word I've seen around lately
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!)
RockPusher: The only even vague thought I allow myself on this one is wondering who was the recipient of a big old cheque for not doing anything this time.
bytecaster: It's definitely a popular term because it is very descriptive of "the times" (tm)
ErynTzun: Warning- orange imbecile on page
TXC2:
added irony: the WH40K emperor is from what is now Syria
ErynTzun: At one point I had an extension that replaced all photos of him with kittens but it was buggy so I had to uninstall it
TheMerricat: "The only winning move is not to play"
ButButTheJesus: i've only had about a minute to imagine what this is and its already worse than I thought
RockPusher: Systemic Embezzlement 2: Corruption Boogaloo
TheMerricat: Chat do we remember when Trump and the Republicans invited a KNOWN anti-them comedian to their dinner because they thought his parody character of them was a real person? Could this be an instance of the same deal? Did a few saboteurs sneak into the 'programing' team?
Juliamon: TheMerricat There's no shot
bytecaster: Nah, this is just the usual lack of media literacy
TXC2: TheMerricat no, they're just incompetent
bytecaster: And also care
Juliamon: they 100% didn't put any thought into the ramifications
Juliamon: the whole point of inflammatory shit like this is to get people talking about the wrong thing
bytecaster: It's not even interesting propaganda
LordZarano: I think Hanlon's razor applies here
Julian_Rogue: @LordZarano Which ones that one?
bytecaster: Does that mean he is the princess in the story?
TXC2: right out of the Westboro baptist church's playbook
LordZarano: @Julian_Rogue "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
ButButTheJesus: @LordZarano oh right that one
RockPusher: He is very oily…
Juliamon: yeah, good on Florida for standing up for themselves for once
Julian_Rogue:
@LordZarano ah I didn't know that idiom had a name thank you 
RockPusher: Indeed, the courts being all "what the fuck is wrong with you" is pleasing
TXC2: a rare "how about we DON'T do Idiocracy?" win
couchboyj: Wow, you must have nice KFCs up north
ButButTheJesus: ♪ All you protesters can go to hell, It's time for Cluckin' Bell!
RockPusher: I mean, GTA hasn't really been particularly GTA oriented since what, 2?
couchboyj: Jump n roll out of it while its still moving
emperorchampion: is this the future of transportation?
bytecaster: @RockPusher That is why 2 is the last good one send tweet
jamwno: I'm in Boston. The advertising campaign we can't forget after about 20 years are the Mooninites
jamwno: (2007 Boston mooninite panic)
TXC2: that....that idea might have been a crime
EvilBadman: mooninites wasn't even a marketing campaign was it?
Juliamon: it was an Adult Swim marketing stunt
Bruceski: The "I know what I'm doing is innocent" problem
TXC2: oh good it wasn't some Moonies cult BS
EvilBadman: @Juliamon I couldn't recall if it was an art thing or actually sponsored/part of the marketing
drexciya808:
SarkhanGluedBackTogether:
the justice system *may* be for sale, but it's not supposed to be *that* obvious
Juliamon: I am also Boston area, it was definitely a marketing thing
Juliamon: (a really fucking stupid marketing thing)
drexciya808: ^
RockPusher: "We have a proposal to give you a truck-load of money." always warrants attention when the public purse is involved.
hyalopterous: Link is very wet
drexciya808: water effects are so impressive in animation but yeah
TXC2: yeap, humans cannot, in fact, sense wetness
hyalopterous: Humans don't have wetness nerve sensors
jamwno: Okay fair I'm Boston area (near suburbs)
TheMerricat:
Was he wet or was he oily and the water just made it clearer that he doesn't take care of his skin? 
drexciya808:
Juliamon: I'm only technically Boston area (not even in MA but not far enough that Logan would pay for overnight lodgings when my flight was cancelled)
Boopity:
@TheMerricat I mean, he lived in the forest, that boy _has_ to be oily as hell
TXC2: young Link, or Ylink
drexciya808: it gets sweaty chasing chickens
Boopity: They didn't stick to the BotW artstyle, yeah
Wolfstrike_NL: Which we might learn more about with the movie
noSmokeFire: other than the shininess, this link bothers me less than Skyward Sword link
EvilBadman: Yeah, I saw that too, as well as Rococo maximalism

@noSmokeFire Was it the lips?
Juliamon: As an outsider, it feels like the Wind Waker 'controversy' all over again
TheMerricat:
The only true Link is a 2D Link.
Wolfstrike_NL: Hyrule field has been cut down a little in size as well
Boopity: I haven't really followed Nintendo closely since like the Switch, but my initial impression is "this doesn't look very Nintendo to me", whatever my brain means by that
noSmokeFire: they did the same thing with the ladder being held up by a mechanism instead of just floating
TXC2: "EXcuuuuuuuuse ME Princess!"
drexciya808: saturday morning cartoon english lmao brill
TheMerricat: "What the heck is a samoplange?!"
Boopity: Oh that's cute
drexciya808: sick
Juliamon: that's a REAL cool QoL update
Boopity: Where's the Hey You Pikachu remake, NINTENDO???
ErynTzun: And they're selling an offcial Ocarina to play
drexciya808: they used to make physical ocarina promos i thought shrug
ErynTzun: Though there are already plenty of others to get too so probably can be anything to a point
Boopity: I played OoT for the first time through the remake on 3DS, and I couldn't really enjoy it - a lot of its design felt too outdated and frustrating to me
drexciya808:
ErynTzun: yeah the 3Ds version is weird to play
TXC2: weren't the lets go games also kinda "dumbed down" ?
RubikDarkwill: HD Dampe
ErynTzun: They were certainly more aimed towards children than the Pokemon games already area and had a lot of walk through bits that weren't needed
Boopity:
Time for a fully separate remake timeline
ErynTzun: but having your Pokemon follow you is extremely compelling rather than being all trapped in balls
Boopity:
Customize the moon is an inspired idea!! 
ErynTzun: And also being able to pet your Pokemon and feed them treats ala Nintendogs
EvilBadman: I hope OOT Remake has the shitpost that is the Master Quest
ErynTzun: oh god the Master Quest, I have that special Gamecube disc
Mr_Horrible: I like that Majora's Mask also has a lot more melancholic tone
ErynTzun: yes First game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (2000)
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone
Boopity:
Boopity: Hello hello @Lysander_salamander !
TXC2: hello Lysander_salamander welcome
TXC2:
this sounds like something I saw on Watch and Play
Boopity:
Yeah, this doesn't sound real
RockPusher: Invaders! Possibly from space!
jamwno: That switch 2 looks real sweet
Boopity: Hoorah! Nintendo rediscovered color!
Julian_Rogue: Translucent purple switch 2 when?
TXC2: ^
ErynTzun: There are so many ppl making translucent purple shell replacements for everything already
Lysander_salamander: eugh
ErynTzun: I actually prefer the Grape purple of the N64 which is why I bought 4 controllers of that color lol
ErynTzun: it's a darker purple than atomic
Boopity: I am shocked none of these companies have made translucent editions of their consoles. Feels like _everyone_ I know wants it... though I guess it must be because I hang out in more niche circles
ArtDecoSunburn: Do you get a virtual Allen wrench?
ErynTzun: Absolute WTF Ikea
Lysander_salamander: advertisements in games, yay
TXC2: Checkpoint doesn't make up stories, that's what ENN did
epsilon_vee:
there's some kind of ikea hijinks deparment clearly 
ErynTzun: How does THAT pitch go exactly? Like who decided to that out of the blue 15 years later
ArtDecoSunburn: The Boardgames subreddit was very excited about this Kallax news.
Julian_Rogue: I'd rather have the absurd marketing ploys than standard boring or slop ones
ErynTzun: Did they choose the Kallas because of the storage of board game on it or because it sounds cooler than the Billy Bookcase?
ErynTzun: Kallax sounds like a RPG name for sure
LordZarano: Btw if you only know about this from Checkpoint you owe it to yourself to go watch the video
drexciya808: @ErynTzun heck yeah
tdapenguin: @LordZarano The video is wild!
ArtDecoSunburn: (Old time RPG player gripes about how furniture companions in older games like Ultima VII were real wood, not pressboard, darnit)
ErynTzun: I played all 3 of those and I do not remember that it's been a while
Boopity: Oh wowie
ace_of_dragon037: pauk and doukey and dream
drexciya808: valve..
ErynTzun: We've torn down all our old wood forests getting real wood is difficult
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun Billy Bookcaseis the evangelical audience targeted, "Pilgrim's Progress" religious quest version. You can only store scripture.
ErynTzun: @ArtDecoSunburn eeew
Manitu_25: left4dead4ever?
Manitu_25: call me valve
ace_of_dragon037: and also portal 4
mrjujubeans: they are terrified of failing a story ending
Lysander_salamander: Skip to Half-life 6
ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun It's a convoluted pun about the sacrifice of Shamino.
v_nome: They should call it "4Left4Dead"
ErynTzun: Half Life 2 1/2 they can't count to 3
Juliamon: Friendship Ended with Sony, Now XBOX Is My New Best Friend
ButButTheJesus: hrm
TXC2: or they really break the duck and call it Half life 33 and a 1/3
TheMerricat: Feels like it was something that was happening for a while that just got out.
drexciya808: pilgrim’s progress could be a cool game…finding a developer who wouldn’t make it weird would be a task
ErynTzun: Xboxcellent

drexciya808: these are so corny i love em
RockPusher: You have been appreciated. Pray we do not appreciate you further.
drexciya808: @RockPusher lmao
ButButTheJesus: I do have a $25 nintendo gift card to burn...
Boopity:
Oh that's...
Bruceski: They should have a sale on the Switch 2 systems to piss off everyone who got them just before the price hike.
ErynTzun: Just gotta malign balloon fight lol
TXC2: Right chat I'm off
TheMerricat: What an interesting deal for the sale to occur on Labor day... almost as if it were already planned as a Labor Day sale and they just rolled it into a PR stunt....
ErynTzun: o7
TheMerricat: Night @TXC2 !
drexciya808: o7
Mr_Horrible:
but then what will they include with their next collection of 99 beloved classics, Paul?

Boopity:
Boopity: The monkey's paw curled
ContingentCat: thank god that weight is off our shoulders

Juliamon: Chat, you're not ready for this
Lysander_salamander: Oh I heard about this
Lysander_salamander: Apparently because the drummer broke a snare-head and needed to replace it
drexciya808: breaking benjamin wheeler is all i do in chat
ErynTzun: Sir this is a Wendy's
Bruceski: Who among us hasn't short-circuited when told to stall?
ErynTzun: Can't hear it
ButButTheJesus: can't hear
mrjujubeans: he’s a giant nerd, but isn’t he kind right wingy?
TheMerricat: TBF the Fallout 4 modding community _is_ a hot mess. It's a combo of russian gun nuts and NSFW modding folk.
Mr_Horrible: apparently yeah it was during unforeseen downtime, but that makes it only *slightly* less weird and no less funny
Lysander_salamander: He has the comments turned off for the mod download page.
Boopity:
Wooooo!
drexciya808: 3 people are so into this
Desruprot:
Wolfstrike_NL: We hear a little excitement only
ButButTheJesus: i can hear some woooo that's it
Foxmar320: Paul I posted a better video to the Slack
Lysander_salamander: Also, the mod has a tag that said it was made with AI assistance
drexciya808: so cringe lol
tdapenguin: Clearly he hasn't learnt to stretch for time via stretching
Mr_Horrible: "well you're all a captive audience-"
ErynTzun: What is the mod?
ContingentCat: musicians are just like us
Wolfstrike_NL: "apparently the drummer was replacing a snare drum" from Adams discord
drexciya808: pffffff
Lysander_salamander: if you need to look down to see if you have legs
Lysander_salamander: I guess it weirds some people out, to not have a body
ButButTheJesus: jet game wooo!
GhostValv:
Mr_Horrible: let's compromise: Ace Combat 8 is a visual novel
Lysander_salamander: a novel adaptation?
drexciya808:
ErynTzun: ahh mod is called True First Person
Lysander_salamander: multiplayer novel?
Boopity:
@Lysander_salamander I think that's just theater
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok I just arrived and how the hell do you break a snare drum as part of a drum kit?
Lysander_salamander: I'm sure I misheard some aspect. I am rather sleep-deprived
ButButTheJesus: oh neat
Thefluffiestguineapig: My dad played snare as part of drum line and those shits as far as I understand are sturdy

Lysander_salamander: nice
drexciya808: that sounds cool .. yugioh have been doing some stuff vaguely like this, load screens presenting comic book type stuff while you wait
Lysander_salamander: they should have pinball in the lobby
TheMerricat: Dragon Spirit is Xevious but with a Dragon.
ButButTheJesus: I think they had one of their old games playable on the Ridge Racer loading screen?
ButButTheJesus: i may be confused with sometihng else
Thefluffiestguineapig: I have no idea what the Yu-Gi-Oh references are, I'm just really focused on how the hell the drummer broke a drum
Desruprot: I was a nintendo person as a child as well
drexciya808:
@Thefluffiestguineapig
Mr_Horrible: forging new frontiers in artificial digital scarcity
Thefluffiestguineapig: @drexciya808 Like, breaking the bass, maybe especially if you're too into the pedal, but the SNARE HEAD?? That's bananas
Mai_Andra: Playstation Home seemed like a thing for a whole month, and then it was immediately forgotten...
drexciya808: @Thefluffiestguineapig eh i did it a few times in a metal band … not proudest moments
bytecaster: Games?!? At this time of year?
Mai_Andra: Street Fighter 6 has a virtual arcade in the hub with a few rotating Capcom titles. </thumbsup>
Mai_Andra:
They even had Street Fighter 2010 at one point. 
drexciya808: @drexciya808 def doing something wrong when that happens lol
ErynTzun: Yeah it's always the year after the year it's release name
Lysander_salamander: blegh
ErynTzun: Eff AI
Lysander_salamander: oh well
Thefluffiestguineapig: @drexciya808 Snares come from marching band, that's insane and has to be related to positional pressure
ErynTzun: The biggest of Fs
Kentosaurus: Buccigros
ContingentCat: Cena?
ButButTheJesus: John Madden!
emperorchampion: can you prompt injection the game to solve millennium problems?
Mr_Horrible:
1) football 2) dead
Lysander_salamander: another game to add to my list of "never buy"
Thefluffiestguineapig:
AI
hyalopterous: Bucky? Gross.
drexciya808: @Thefluffiestguineapig yeah… rockin too hard … also laziness in tuning and buying cheap heads can pop it
ContingentCat: yes it's work, that's why you get paid
Boopity: Saying word hard
Firewhiskers: Using voice repeatedly for hours is hard
Mai_Andra: ♫ But I won't do that~ ♫
ErynTzun: I have a worthless copy of Madden 2005 mint in box, I didn't buy it. I also have stacks of Madden and NHL genesis games that I brought for a penny each to get a good discount when I worked at EB on actual good games.
Mr_Horrible: I got news about that 2nd presumption, pal
ButButTheJesus: oh honey
ContingentCat: he'll be less thrilled when next time they don't bother with him
hyalopterous: Yeah, can't really fault him for that
Thefluffiestguineapig: Honey, "same check"
Boopity: Welp, if he signed off on his voice being fed into the ghost, then at least it's better than some cases...
tdapenguin: That's Not going to be what happens tho....
Mai_Andra: "If it means less work and the same check..." "I'm afraid I've got some bad news"
eid010n: I have some bad news for him about what will happen to the size of the check
ErynTzun: If anyone does like sports games the key is to never buy them until at least a year later when everyone trades in their garbage
CaptainSpam: "SCORE! The crowd gets out of their sofas!"
drexciya808: @drexciya808 anyway you sound like you know …never underestimate us meatheads
JKBalch: Somehow a check today is better than 2 cheques next year
Thefluffiestguineapig: @drexciya808 Well I'm in veterinary medicine and I don't underestimate the dumb shit people do to their animals
drexciya808:
@Thefluffiestguineapig
Thefluffiestguineapig: @JKBalch Or any checks at all in the future
ErynTzun: Like television residuals
Mai_Andra: Waiting for the time when AI learns about unions and starts refusing to work without contract protections.
Firewhiskers: As a voice actor director, shouting or speaking loudly is especially hard on the voice
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Mai_Andra See the challenge is that they have stigmatized unions for 99% of professions
Firewhiskers: Every job has the Sexy Parts and the Unsexy Parts.
ErynTzun: It makes sense, that's why when going to conventions the voice goes first, all the shouting you end up doing in crowds.
ErynTzun: Making it do badly
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, but that requires that they are improving working conditions for jobs that AI can't replace
ErynTzun: There's a difference between a bot, or machine learning and AI doing it.
ErynTzun: Off the wall
tdapenguin: I like physical effects.....
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Firewhiskers Sometimes jobs have no sexy parts, my job for example has no actual sexy parts
Thefluffiestguineapig: To be clear I love my job but it is not what people think
hyalopterous: That's Pans labyrinth
Firewhiskers: Pan's Labyrinth is the film with that monster
Lysander_salamander: But, that's the fun part
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Lysander_salamander Also it often LOOKS BETTER
ContingentCat: yeah that's what I think about using it for outlining, the process is important
Thefluffiestguineapig: Even if the physical effects are not stellar, the fact it takes up real space and interacts with actual lights often ends up with a better acting point for people and better set design
Firewhiskers: AI can make a thing but it cannot consistently replicate it believeably from shot to shot
tdapenguin: @Thefluffiestguineapig And physical effects often age better too!
Lysander_salamander: I hate it so much when I'm seeing executives saying "oh we're only using ai on the concept art." That's the foundational part. That's what everyone has built on top of
drexciya808: concepting phase is the worst phase to ai
ErynTzun: No originality
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tdapenguin See the LotR trilogy vs the Hobbit trilogy. the LotR trilogy looks amazing still and the Hobit trillogy looked like ass 6 months later
ErynTzun: AI can't do iteration like a human can which is what is needed for designing anything
v_nome: Arjun looks so cool!
Firewhiskers: If they mean "the AI made the placeholder art" that's bad because its harder to see what placeholder arts needs to be remade by artists
ErynTzun: ask me how i bloody know and why I'm not doing art for a living
JKBalch: So handsome
Bruceski: Vape Bro
tdapenguin: @ErynTzun ^
Boopity: He blows
Lysander_salamander: the bollywood action hero
Thefluffiestguineapig: He's very large
drexciya808: my newborn nephew is named arjun and he is at least as much of a menace lol
ErynTzun: eeew
Boopity:
New Avatar Aang movie looks interesting
NorthstarTex: he's got that Demon Slayer breathing down
Lysander_salamander: yes good
CaptainSpam: Man, what did Dhalsim ever do to him?
ErynTzun: Arjun is a good name for an air based character
Boopity:
"Wall" is how I would describe over half the SF roster
Boopity: New character
v_nome: Brand new to SF6
hyalopterous: I think he's brand new
goombalax: awkward that they got Jason Momoa to do Blanka and then brought in a guy who just looks like Jason Momoa
ErynTzun: Yep very much a wall of a person
drexciya808: goro energy
tapdancingbeavers: Bollywood villain?
Boopity:
drexciya808: that pant sag is a swag
Thefluffiestguineapig: How is he size wise vs Marisa or the guy who does head slams?
CaptainSpam: The Bond villain's heavy?
ContingentCat: mad guy middle mannager wow
ContingentCat: *bad
drexciya808:
RatherLargeToad: Mid-Boss
ErynTzun: The meat shield before the final boss
Thefluffiestguineapig:
Oh so he's Grim's underling 
Thefluffiestguineapig: To reference the old LRR sketch
ErynTzun: He looks like a dictator
Boopity: Yeah, I've seen people say he "just looks like Indian Ryu"
drexciya808: too funny
Lysander_salamander: I like how the new Street Fighter is releasing on a Tuesday.
RockPusher: Real question is would the yuri girls play this character?
ErynTzun: Might as well forgo the shirt to start with
Mai_Andra: Arjun is a "disgraced hero" character. He was blamed for his partner's death and is on the run trying to find the real villain.
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's what gi tops are for
drexciya808: @Mai_Andra ok now that’s interesting…
ErynTzun: Cloud Gaming
ErynTzun: They even say Everything is an Xbox
ErynTzun: Which is why the speculation is there will not be a new Xbox
Juliamon: You get a whole 5 hours a month to play your game
Lysander_salamander: eugh
Boopity: Huh. Those numbers are shockingly low
ErynTzun: Just like Nvidia's thing
Lysander_salamander: gross
Foxmar320: @Juliamon So one stream for me. Got it
JKBalch: JOKE: 1 dollar a minute
Wolfstrike_NL: That's one weekend on the expansive pass
drexciya808: @goombalax hahaha
ErynTzun: Can't afford to build your own rig, rent it. -_-
2 raiders from imat156 have joined!

imat156: Hello!
Boopity: I don't do cloud gaming, so I don't know how many people use it on a regular basis, so, like, is anyone sad about this?
ButButTheJesus: i heard people in a few euro countries will be grandfathered into unlimited streaming. everyone else will be limited
Juliamon: But it's ThE fUtUre
drexciya808: my new chromebook can do nethack and that is it
ButButTheJesus: the future is now the past
hyalopterous: They should push it for strategy games
Boopity:
@drexciya808 Good, that's all you need
RatherLargeToad:
but they’ll be getting more with the next FF7 
drexciya808: @Boopity hell yeah
ButButTheJesus: sony has cloud gaming for some of their games at the top tier of PSPlus
Thefluffiestguineapig: This seems like what they want, they want you to rent everythin
ErynTzun: Nintendo only did it because the original switch could not handle those games
Thefluffiestguineapig: If you live in the Great Service Gap of North Dakota (which is a real thing) you're basically fucked
Boopity: Stadia, now that's a throwback
ErynTzun: Real hard to run them on something that's a tablet SoC from 2015. 4GB of shared RAM.
Foxmar320: I know people in my area that can't get anything but satalite internet still.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also in the US a lot of internet plans have built in shadow throttling if you use above a certain amount at a given time
ErynTzun: Really funny how well the original switch sold considering it's A Tablet they slapped controls on the side of.
Juliamon: Some games are *only* available with cloud gaming now...
Boopity: @ErynTzun I mean, that's kinda Nintendo's schtick - creative games on potato hardware
ErynTzun: @Boopity And reusing the hardware Gamecube to Wii
Thefluffiestguineapig: So what, is this going to be along with assuming that you must have a top tier internet plan with no throttling of speed?
drexciya808: lul
ErynTzun: And Wii sold like hotcakes. Imagine if Playstation just overclocked the PS5 and called it a PS6. lol
EvilBadman: the ad said all you can eat! THE AD SAID ALL YOU CAN EEEAAATTT
GapFiller: turns out theres always a limit to unlimited
LordZarano: 5 hours / month is wild when geforce now's first paid tier is 6 hour sessions with no limit on sessions / day
Mr_Horrible: @EvilBadman "yeah, and we've decided all you can eat"
RatherLargeToad: Curse you Spiders Georg!
drexciya808:
@ErynTzun s’why u need 5 ps5s
GapFiller: EvilBadman its only all you can eat until somebody eats two plastic lobsters
lirazel64: All the electronic shrimp you can eat at Red Lobster!
Wolfstrike_NL: Que Simpsons: Homer's Unlimited Dinner lawsuit
Mr_Horrible: real "unlimited PTO but if you use any we PIP you" energy
Boopity:
@ErynTzun To be fair, they tried it a third time with Wii U and that didn't go that well
ErynTzun: oh we shared so much music in Gmail before there were services to use instead
drexciya808: hahaha
ErynTzun: Because it was better than using Newsgroups
ErynTzun: or trying to share it over IM
Thefluffiestguineapig: Now Gmail requires you pay for storage
ErynTzun: or putting it on *cough* those sites
Boopity:
Yeah, nowadays people just use Discord for file hosting to the point where they had to crack down on it
ErynTzun: @Boopity The Wii U was just a Switch prototype! lolol
GapFiller: oh this
ErynTzun: Before they were able to just cram it all into the tablet
RatherLargeToad: Reviews are: Mid
drexciya808: @Boopity holding my breath for when they do that on whatsapp too
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Boopity I feel like they did that way before that was the issue and it was more about paid subscriptions
ErynTzun: Had to wait for Nvidia to do their own gaming tablet and kind of fail before they tried it
Mr_Horrible: "Logan, use your Canada-Vision to look for clues"
drexciya808: I need Canadavision.
ErynTzun: Then they could pay Nvidia to make chips for them
Firewhiskers: How much does poutine raise Wolverine's hit points?
ButButTheJesus: stink hint
RockPusher:
7gorobei: stankovision
Lysander_salamander: it's nice to have options
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is so many layers of hand holding
RatherLargeToad: by default
GapFiller: it is 2026 and people are STILL this hung up on farting as humour
ErynTzun: Do we ever see Logan eat Poutine? Are there *snikt* sounds?
Lysander_salamander: I don't see the issue
drexciya808: @GapFiller the farts just need to be longer and stronger
ErynTzun: It isn't out yet
Lysander_salamander: I am unbothered
Wolfstrike_NL: @GapFiller There's always new young people
RatherLargeToad: I saw a review that said they couldn’t find a way to disable some of them when they paid, so those options may have been patched in more recently, but I can’t confirm
Boopity: @Lysander_salamander B-But the online discourse!
tdapenguin: @GapFiller People have been doing fart-based humor for centuries....
RatherLargeToad: *played
ErynTzun: The leak of an Alpha doesn't really count
EvilBadman: the primary review consensus is the game is pretty linear, even when compared to like spidey, so this seems "too easy"? Again, it's a buncha reviewers kicking dirt up right now
RatherLargeToad: is also kind of short for a $70 game apparently
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tdapenguin Shakespeare famously has fart humor
Lord_Hosk subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 130 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Lord_Hosk! (Today's storm count: 9)
ErynTzun: Seems like most reviews are that it's mediocre, but again it's not even frigging OUT yet.
lamina5432: afternoon
EvilBadman: @RatherLargeToad eh, RE9 was short
Mr_Horrible: @EvilBadman I think there's a case to be made that if it's structured linearly, having this many redundant navigation systems is overbearing and needless
EvilBadman: @Mr_Horrible Yes, if was not togglable
LordZarano: @tdapenguin The oldest known joke, dating to around 2000 BC, is a fart joke
ErynTzun: Chats for those things are never worth reading
drexciya808:
Lysander_salamander: I think I've felt all I can feel about Destiny at the moment.
7gorobei: you should have seen the chat for the direct when they announced the price of the switch2
glitched_goddess: games could come with a $100 bill in the case and people would complain, it’s kinda tiring
RatherLargeToad: and probably about 10% of the people calling for Destiny 3 would end up buying it
Mr_Horrible: the zeitgeist consensus settling on "fart cloud" though is pretty amusing (you gotta pick a different color than a green like that, guys)
Juliamon: They dug this grave
drexciya808:
@Mr_Horrible this offends me as a zerg player
ErynTzun: I wish Insomniac didn't stop making Spyro games and this is coming from an X-men fan.
bytecaster: @ErynTzun This is the correct take!
Lord_Hosk: I hate to say it because its a stupid decision... But Sony is right, the hate is going to go away as soon as the first PS6 exclusive hit drops.
Mr_Horrible:
@drexciya808 you can't tell me your 'lings smell of roses, ESPECIALLY the bane- variety
Firewhiskers: Insomniac is best when making Ratchet and Clank games though - they are their most creative with their own IP
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ErynTzun I really think they shouldn't have started with Wolverine. I think starting with a lesser known X-man would have probably helped too
ErynTzun: @Thefluffiestguineapig I like Toys for Bob, and yeah there's nobody left at Insomniac that matters but I wish there was.
bytecaster: @Thefluffiestguineapig Night crawler stealth game when?
ErynTzun: @Thefluffiestguineapig Gambit the Game lol
ErynTzun: oh no wait Rogue yes!
ErynTzun: I just want to punch dudes
bytecaster: @ErynTzun She steals powers, right? They can make it a Kirby game!
GapFiller: in hindsight lil sad Heather never beat that genie in BG3 by farting at him
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ErynTzun Night crawler priest game
Thefluffiestguineapig: Gambit card shark game
ErynTzun: @bytecaster Yes that would be fun as heck
Lord_Hosk: Never heard of it? is it good?
Firewhiskers: Oh, you mean proto-Mass Effect
EvilBadman: trap sprung
Mr_Horrible: you're telling me some kind of ur-quan mastered this star control, too?
7gorobei: there is a free version called the Urquan masters
ErynTzun: Gambit can have like a mini game in Rogue's game like Gwent in the Witcher
Lysander_salamander: Oh hey, Star Control
bytecaster: There is always attempts to control the stars!
RatherLargeToad: Source Control 2
Lysander_salamander: I keep meaning to try it
Lord_Hosk: Point of order... The people who made Star Control 2 left Toys for bob to make the "prequil" children of free stars
drexciya808: @Mr_Horrible you win haha
GapFiller: for anyone who wants to look it up Paul played Star Control 2 across March April 2015 (ep1 2015/03/16 ep6 final 2015/04/15)
ErynTzun: The success of Star Control led to a more ambitious sequel, Star Control II. Reiche and Ford aimed to expand on the first game's combat system with deeper storytelling. Their goal of creating a dynamic space adventure was largely inspired by Starflight, designed by Greg Johnson in 1986.
Lord_Hosk: On the nose
Lysander_salamander: oh right there's a Zelda Movie
Lysander_salamander:
Boopity:
Boopity: Incredible
Lysander_salamander: amazing
ErynTzun: I played the crap out of Starflight on Genesis
Thefluffiestguineapig:
that's hysterical
EvilBadman: I'd love it if it was like a story in a story like Princess Bride
ButButTheJesus: so... its a Legend...
Jillexie: God I loved Starflight and Star Control 2
Boopity:
What do you mean?? DId the mario movie have a subtitle?
TheMerricat: More importantly will we be ashamed of our words and deeds?
ErynTzun: It doesn't give anything away though
Boopity:
gibbousm: I'll only be happy if Link doesn't talk at all
Lysander_salamander: Wasn't even confirming the pronunciation of "tears"
Mr_Horrible: he's gotta get creative these days
Boopity:
They're gonna do an old-schol JRPG thing where the logo changes after the movie finishes
Lord_Hosk: The subtitle will be removed until moral improves
GapFiller: TheMerricat speaking of Kojima guessing they already covered the business w/ him and Sony (turned up late missed most of the stream)
TheMerricat: Bad news chat they hired JJ Abrams to do the movie, and he isn't playing Link....
Mai_Andra: I'm sure there were some people who specifically wanted "Ocarina of Time" or "Breath of the Wild" movie.
ErynTzun: OooOoOooo camera moooovIIIInnng
Lysander_salamander: hahahaha
gibbousm: the fact that they devoted pretty much the entirety of the presentation to "this game has modern game mechanics" was just so stupid
TheMerricat: @GapFiller Yep it came up in the main part .
Boopity:
Pffft
Lysander_salamander: that's delightful
gibbousm: Z-Targeting
drexciya808: @TheMerricat i am glad i made it to the end of your chat lol
ErynTzun: Someone just made a mod for Spyro 1 to use the right stick to move the camera, the camera could only be moved with the shoulder buttons on PS1.
GapFiller: so how Unreal Engine looking did people find the Ocarina footage cz it didnt look that bad to me
EvilBadman: I am great amused that the Age of Calamity upgrade was not in the z40 direct
Lysander_salamander: ooh, neat
ButButTheJesus: no the C-button camera was on Mario. In Zelda you could z-target or, with no enemies, move the camera to Link's back with Z
Lysander_salamander: I hope it does well
bytecaster: yeah, there was a maomao jump scare
RatherLargeToad: Inhale of the Wild
Firewhiskers: Om nom nom
gibbousm: I can't believe they Truman Showed Kirby
Mr_Horrible: Metroid "I could eat"
Mai_Andra: Hungry Hungry Metroids
Boopity: Metroid hungy
JKBalch: Metroid VORE
GapFiller: James thought the Ravenous logo was a quality choice
Wolfstrike_NL: Metroid Girldinner
ErynTzun: Openpete is such a cool thing to have, it was so hard to play Spyro on PC in the early 2000s it ran terribly.
RatherLargeToad: since you still have the Metroid suit
Invitare: Metroid Second Brunch
Lysander_salamander: Apparently the villains in this one is a weird cult that thinks they'll get Samus' powers by eating her
Lord_Hosk: a continuation of Dredd? The 2012 Karl Urban movie?
LordZarano: Ravenous has a really cool logo
Bruceski: "In the upcoming games Kirby explores new worlds while Samus eats monsters. Wait..."
Boopity: Yeahh, I heard people were kinda ambivalent on 4. Doesn't help that it was in development in so long probably
Invitare: Dread good
Mr_Horrible: @Lysander_salamander look I'm not about to get in the way of toxic yuri
EvilBadman: Mawwidge
Lysander_salamander:
ErynTzun: I've played all the 3D Metroids, I have 4 and it's just okay. I'm glad I got the Switch 2 for Bananza which is a really good game, not for that.
LordZarano: Like Blood Dragon or something
RatherLargeToad: it appears that they are letting Samus talk again. I guess it’s been long enough since Other M
Mai_Andra:
I started Dread, but I kept getting stuck behind the robots... 
ButButTheJesus: *looks at steam account* yeahhhh
hyalopterous: I beat the original NES Metroid without a map
Humble:
Sorry.
Wolfstrike_NL: The one I found funniest was Yo-kai Watch 2, with instead of a date they just announced: "Development confirmed"
ErynTzun: @RatherLargeToad Samus talks and boy howdy is she hungy
ButButTheJesus: same Heather!
Boopity: @Wolfstrike_NL "We're working on it!"
Mai_Andra: I had a gameboy, so Metroid 2 was my goat. (also Link's Awakening)
drexciya808: how dare heather im so serious and cool
ButButTheJesus: "I'll play this next month" *one year later* "ok I'll play this NEXT month really"
LordZarano: Oh hey @Humble
ButButTheJesus: me too me too
Wolfstrike_NL: O yea, also confirmation for Persona 6
avjamethyst: I'm not in the room but I have that pile
ErynTzun: 10+ years of Humble Bundle >_> I have some games that I have not played
Lysander_salamander: Oh, like with Metroid Prime
Boopity: Wasn't P6 already confirmed? Or was that a leak or something other
RatherLargeToad: and also probably means it’s next year
GapFiller: ButButTheJesus then eventually yr realise its been ten years and still never played that game (but nxt month for sure yrll play that game)
Wolfstrike_NL: The color scheme was teased for 6 yea
EvilBadman: @Boopity Wasn't announced for S2, I think
Boopity: @EvilBadman Ah, I see
ErynTzun: I try to play at least 2 games from the bundle to get the money's worth, I don't always finish them.
ButButTheJesus: a COLOR
drexciya808:
EvilBadman: They're porting Metaphor over, too (but that's been known)
Boopity: Soon they will run out of colors.
RatherLargeToad: 3 was blue, 4 was yellow, 6 was red
Invitare: there was a rhythm gane
ErynTzun: oh yes that looked fun
ErynTzun: oh yes the Rhythm game was also cute
Boopity: Orbitals looks _masterful_
drexciya808: yeee
Boopity:
pH balance! 
drexciya808: doit
Joecool190: Orbital is fun and like 4-6 hours
Joecool190: Good lenght
GapFiller: that mouse game on Send Codes wasnt split screen either tbf
ErynTzun: 1 2 3 flooor we declare thumb war
RubikDarkwill: Cross the streams!
Boopity: YES
ButButTheJesus: @RatherLargeToad I keep forgetting 4 was a PS2 game, and 5 was released on PS3 in 2016
josh___something: Paul gets cancelled out, and G and Heather have to play it. obviously
ErynTzun: he's got voice activation!
ErynTzun: That's one of their new things so it makes sense
ErynTzun: You must be able to praise the dog
Boopity: @ButButTheJesus Oh lord, 5 is _old_ by this point. Still feels like yesterday that it went mainstream
ErynTzun: Mouse controls are in various things
Ms_LadyMix: Pokopia mouse controls rule and that's...about it lol
ErynTzun: Mario Paint, Pokopia, Metroid 4.
EvilBadman: Thanks, Odama
ArtOfStuttering: Thank you for putting up the first day of LRRathon! Is there a playlist on YT LRRStreams or is it on the main LRR YT?
drexciya808: lol
RatherLargeToad: the announced Mecca Chameleon for the switch 2, so I’m guessing that will use mouse controls
ErynTzun: I like playing Metroid better with mouse controls but I don't have the best setup for it sitting at my desk.
ErynTzun: and a shitty mic
GapFiller:
ohhh Hey You Pikachu
ErynTzun: Not as good as Seaman for Dreamcast
ErynTzun: oh not it was terrible
drexciya808: lrr real meccha let’s go..
EvilBadman: Catch the SGDQ Hey You Pikachu race, it's great
ButButTheJesus: "Infernape, get the fuck out here!" - Gabe from PA
ErynTzun: Lots of those mics sitting in the used bin when I was at EB
LordZarano: The DS had a microphone and I think the only thing games used it for was blowing into it
SquareDotCube: It was fine but the voice recognition was tuned for a child's voice
GapFiller: yelling at the controller so hard it left yr redfaced was hardly cosy
ErynTzun: oh yes the DS had a mic only used in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks
ErynTzun: Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story as well
Boopity:
I'm so glad they made ocarinas from The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time real
Kentosaurus: me too
ButButTheJesus: I pronounced it "Ocinara" for a long time as a youth
drexciya808: same. did not know it was a traditional instrument
Boopity: To be fair, I'm certain the only reason 90% of people know what an ocarina is is because of Zelda
ErynTzun: I would consider it a Flutophone not a flute, something children learn to play music on.
glitched_goddess: you could record yourself for Pokemon
ErynTzun: Which is fine becasue him playing it in the Direct was about the level of a child learning to play hehehe
GapFiller: phun phact the main theme from all those classic Ennio Morricone spaghetti westerns is an ocarina
drexciya808: really loved this one y’all
ButButTheJesus: thamk for strem!
ErynTzun:
Thank you for the stream 
Mai_Andra: I'm still waiting for Assassin's Creed to remember it has a modern story... again...
ArtDecoSunburn: We lurk with the best of them.
Mai_Andra:
ArtOfStuttering:
Thank you!
emperorchampion: fnpf in 2h?
ErynTzun: ty yes I saw those as I was heading over here
Boopity: Oh boy, I imagine preparing the Twitch VoDs for Youtube uploads must be _a lot of work_
ghyllnox:
Thanks for all your hard work editing and putting vods up Heather
