LRRbot on point 
mtvcdm subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 144 months!
mtvcdm: ew, gross
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, mtvcdm! (Today's storm count: 2)
TXC2: Sage advice from Heather there
RockPusher: Scrute the inscrutable anyway!
TheAinMAP:
TXC2:
TXC2: TODAY!
BraveOthello: What book?
RockPusher:
Lies‽ from Heather‽ 
mtvcdm: Heather does have poor impulse control
Getter404: We were promised Beej Feet, I would like a refund good sir
BraveOthello: @RockPusher Interrobangs‽
TXC2: everything is a drug if the Government doesn't get it's cut
TXC2: few, but not zero
RockPusher: For some reason…
TXC2: I assume, given the number of Russian descended actors in Vancouver.
RockPusher:
Excuse me, Star Wars is Space Opera, not Sci-Fi 
Foxmar320: leather jockstrap sounds so uncomfortable
kingandcommoner: There are personal shields and FTL in Dune
Getter404: There *were* lasers, they got outlawed because they don't play well with energy shields
ArtDecoSunburn: Dune is a "Middle Eastern" instead of a Western.
TXC2:
Foxmar320 still more comfortable then having balls become internal 
Foxmar320: @TXC2 I read that as "infernal"
TXC2: Foxmar320 still kinda works
Getter404: @Foxmar320 It's true, my nether regions *are* hellish
Foxmar320:
@Getter404 
TXC2: Guest are a DIFFERENT fun
ArtDecoSunburn: @Getter404 Sounds like a confessional at the beginning of a very hip grooming ad.
Foxmar320:
@ArtDecoSunburn 
Getter404: Fire Emblem's worth being excited about
mtvcdm: Just submit yourself to FLEB
TXC2:
Ad that seems like it's gonna be for hi-tech jockstraps, turns out to be for Orchietomies
Getter404: He played it on a piano key necktie
ArtDecoSunburn: Is the desk in the studio new or different? Was it always so reflective?
SquareDotCube: Terranigma would be owned by Square Enix as Quintet was an Enix published devloper
Juliamon: It's the same desk as it's been for awhile now
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn I think this table is over a year old at this point
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Hmm.
TXC2: smart move by Beej
Firewhiskers: There's another Sega property with a show coming out too - Golden Axe.
mtvcdm: The movie will be quietly cancelled before season 2
RockPusher: ArtDecoSunburn there is a plate sitting under the clear bit today that may have drawn more attention than normal
Vinewood_OG: So Collateral 2?
ArtDecoSunburn: Is the taxi magical, like Herbie the Love Bug?
ArtDecoSunburn: @RockPusher Must be it.
mtvcdm: A Crazy Taxi movie is kinda just, here's yet another reason to fling cars down San Francisco hillsides
Getter404: Well it was also when ITYSL was the hot new thing so Tim Robinson was at an all-time high
ArtDecoSunburn: @mtvcdm That was a major chunk of Hollywood in the 1970s, thankfully.
RockPusher: Speed 3: Crazy Taxi
Firewhiskers: Get Jodie Foster back in a new Taxi Driver?
smilewithmeprincess:
mtvcdm: Dorf Goes Taxiing
TXC2: hello smilewithmeprincess welcome
Geldaran: I played so much of that game in the arcade, and it had the DUMBest shift-boost mechanic... the running movie joke has to be the infinite upshift trope.
ArtDecoSunburn: Have you ever seen "Driving Miss Daily" in its original theatrical form? I'd like to see "Crazy Taxi" as a play off Broadway.
Firewhiskers: The villain of the Crazy Taxi game should be Uber
TXC2: Crazy Waymo
TXC2: which is just Waymo
Mai_Andra: The Fifth Element was also about a crazy taxi driver...
RockPusher:
Taxi 4, writer Luc Besson 
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers A mustache-twirling taxi medallion commissioner?
Firewhiskers: Total Recall had Robert Picardo as the Jonny Cab!
RockPusher: okay, I may need to actually watch one of these then
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!)
Geldaran: big twist, the crazy taxi is the villian, it's really a cop movie of trying to chase down a menace running rampant through the city.
Mai_Andra: "Hell of a day, isn't it!"
Laserbeaks_Fury: Jason Statham is "The Taxi Driver"
Foxmar320: Dreamcast was the best version
ArtDecoSunburn: I shudder to think of Vance's favorite video game.
Firewhiskers: Segagaga movie when?
smilewithmeprincess: load sin 0
Firewhiskers: Right, like nobody's actually played Ikaruga for the Dreamcast but everybody likes watching it on stream or social media.
Laserbeaks_Fury: The next generation of Segata fans
Foxmar320: So many characters
Foxmar320: Bayonetta is coming to Crossworlds
TXC2: this like the modern day version of people knowing the movie over he original book
smilewithmeprincess:
Harry Potter
Firewhiskers: Demonetized
TXC2: !findquote DMCA
LRRbot: Quote #7700: "If my singing gets a DMCA takedown, I'm gonna take that as a win." —RebelliousUno [2021-07-20]
Geldaran:
so you probably heard people like me smashing the pedals, and flipping the shifter to do the stupid speed boost!. 
Firewhiskers: When asked what happens if you deliver all the passengers in Crazy Taxi, the Smilebit devs said they didn't know - it probably crashes
TXC2: hello jacqui_lantern234 welcome
TXC2: Hesitant Smeagol
Getter404: On track to be the best opening for the RE movies ever
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Back in the 30s-50s, almost all major books and movies got an hour-long radio adaptation. So you'd get people who "knew" the movie plot and characters and beats, but never saw it.
Foxmar320: The reviews are very high
jacqui_lantern234:
Resident Evil: The Book The Movie The Video Game 
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn ah neat
James_the_Dabbler: I love the RECU
mtvcdm: Dog was Silent hill
Foxmar320: Thats Silent Hill
TXC2: they're both Playstation horror franchises
Firewhiskers: The dog ending in Resident Evil is when you open the front door of the mansion & the dogs eat you
Foxmar320: All RE endings have a base exploding
Getter404: I think he cut out jokes/quips, reviews are saying it's still pretty funny
kingandcommoner: It's always good to learn a good movie had jokes punched down
Laserbeaks_Fury: You don't want it to be Resident Evil Dead
Foxmar320: Anyone who plays RE knows the games do have humor in them
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Early TV in the Fifties did the same. A lot of "Playhouse" adaptations of feature films into hour-long teleplays with B-actors.
Foxmar320: But you don't want to over do it
kingandcommoner: Reducing the leon-ness of the main character was probably a good decision
TXC2: kingandcommoner you mean toned down? "punching down" means something else
kingandcommoner: @TXC2 I was making a joke by reversing "punch-up" which is when jokes are added to a script. It didn't work too well, I admit
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn kinda the same with movies just being filmed thearter plays
Firewhiskers: @ArtDecoSunburn A reminder that audio plays are still very much a thing - and there are a ton made by trans and queer creators!
Foxmar320: I want to see it but its not playing localy
TXC2: kingandcommoner ah
jacqui_lantern234:
give us the Jar Jar Binks Cut!
ArtDecoSunburn: @kingandcommoner I appreciated the wordplay, Your Highness/Commonness.
Firewhiskers: Robocop's gratuitous violence was supposed to be what Beej is saying, over the top
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers One the unexpected side effects of podcasting -- a revival of old style radio type narratives. Who would have ever guessed.
Firewhiskers: @ArtDecoSunburn I guessed - I grew up on old time radio and then I started making them in 2010 XD - hope y'all enjoy them!
TXC2: Firewhiskers "somebody wanna call a damn medic?" is funny after a guy has been basically pureed.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers Very nifty. Do you know "The Big Broadcast" on WAMU?
TXC2: back in the day, We would have gotten those scenes on the DVD
Firewhiskers: @ArtDecoSunburn You confused me because I wrote for a couple shows called "The Big Broadcast" but had nothing to do with WAMU - this was with the Post-Meridian Radio Players
Getter404: "In hindsight, the extended reference to that time I played Lincoln on TWKUK was uncalled for."
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers When I did improv in college, we did a format called "The Radio Show" where we would turn off the lights in the theater and improvise a forty-five minute old time radio style show (with ads) without being able to see each other. Improv in the dark is hard.
Firewhiskers: @ArtDecoSunburn That is so cool
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers It's the longest running rebroadcaster of OTR. Goes back to the 70s. Every Sunday night.
Getter404: Far enough out to HEAVILY discourage massive layoffs
Firewhiskers: @ArtDecoSunburn Just checked it out online - sweet!
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers We just hoped our audience didn't fall asleep when the lights went out. Luckily our keyboardist could play by touch.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Remember when Blizzard would never confirm anything until they know 100% it's ready
Invitare: *Nintendo announcing Metroid Prime 4*
TXC2: I think Starcraft 2 got announced in 2007, came out in 2010, and that felt like a lifetime, so talking NOW about a game coming out in 4 years is absured
Firewhiskers: @ArtDecoSunburn Must have been great for release as a podcast
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers I'll look up these Post-Meridan Players. Any other new companies you recommend?
Firewhiskers: Will Blizzard still exist as it currently exists n 4 years, or will it be sold off for parts?
TXC2: the Oregon Hype Trail
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers One company gets the Bliz, one the Zard.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers This was 2004. Before podcasts were a thing. We never recorded shows.
Firewhiskers: @ArtDecoSunburn Pendant Audio, anything by Fred Greenhalgh
ArtDecoSunburn: @Firewhiskers Danke. Will look up.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Diablo V somehow becomes an extraction shooter
ArtDecoSunburn: What would be the franchise/classic game you would be most surprised to be rebooted or remastered?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Ubisoft and Skull and Bones
raulghoulia: Elder Scrolls 6
mtvcdm: Beyond Good and Evil 6
mtvcdm: !crossover
LRRbot: This would make a real fun Ticket to Ride expansion.
mtvcdm: This is what World's Fairs used to do
mtvcdm: Bunch of countries show up and each of them goes 'look at our cool new stuff, give us money'
ArtDecoSunburn: @LRRbot I wish Ticket to Ride leaned into the robber baron element. I want to be Jay Gould, gosh darnit, and collapse the French economy with my diluted rail stock! And build a spur line to Peoria.
mtvcdm: Eat this and tell us if you like it
LordZarano: There's basically always a couple of "full self driving" future concept cars at shows these days. They don't really have the inventiveness of 70s-90s concept cars
Wolfstrike_NL: And than you get a good flavour and they take it away :_(
RockPusher:
General public don't care about the new hotness in the world of plumbing and timber framing systems
TXC2: "high fashion" makes more sense as art to look at rather then to wear
Firewhiskers: @LordZarano The Tesla Robotaxi is a real self-driving thing that Tesla is trying to sell.
Juliamon: I hesitate to call any Tesla automation "real"
TXC2: Tesla struggles to make real cars, let alone self-driving one
Firewhiskers: @RockPusher We do care that most new apartments and houses are being painted in muted tones now - houses aren't allowed to be colorful anymore
Ms_LadyMix: Yeah 100% Heather is correct
loufghyslaufey: No, WAIT!
RockPusher: Joy of D?
Getter404: It'll be the Brothers Grimm fairytales, so the series will be P - O - G
TXC2: Erotic Awakening of S, the game
loufghyslaufey: Don't be an hour in talking about Blizzcon Already...!!
loufghyslaufey: Cuz, Cuz... that was last weekend, right?
loufghyslaufey:
It is... most ded one of Insomniac'a of all time 
loufghyslaufey: *most def
raulghoulia: I played Wolverine. It's fine.
Foxmar320: Aparently if you get outside the map the maps are HUGE
loufghyslaufey: Eh. Logan as character is NOT open world either.
Foxmar320: Like maybe it was going to be open world and got cut back?
loufghyslaufey: Not as open world
loufghyslaufey:
As for the Blizzcon segway(s), I almost feel like a hobbit. Embarrasedly, 
Laserbeaks_Fury: They're blue in the US
idontgetmyrealname: blue signs are American
loufghyslaufey: @Laserbeaks_Fury That's ominuously awakward. Not for being inaccurate. Just, in regards of out sun of '26...??
kingandcommoner: Smell-o-Vision
loufghyslaufey: *our
Getter404: Whiskey Bottles and PTSD Flashbacks (not a joke)
Laserbeaks_Fury: Cigar butts
loufghyslaufey: Lake... Michigan??
mtvcdm: Michigan
lightfut: Yeah Michigan
SquareDotCube: Michigan.
gualdhar: Michigan I think
Laserbeaks_Fury: They are on a Great Lake
TXC2:
he collected Surrogate Daughters
Getter404: Literally you fight "nightmare cabins" which are lost memories resurfacing out in the levels, and that's what you have for combat trials
loufghyslaufey: (shrugs)
Getter404: Find, not fight*
mtvcdm: Michigan has four lakes, one of which is Michigan
TheMerricat:
I just got a ping from Chatty telling me LunarJade just went offline I was 
given who is on screen right now till I realized it's probably my internet dying and Chatty is just telling me it's loosing connection to Twitch. D:
TXC2: the Great lakes are basically seas
SquareDotCube: Yeah, they're almost an inland freshwater sea.
mtvcdm: Let Wolverine visit the Burl
SquareDotCube: If Michigan wasn't there if definitely would be.
loufghyslaufey: You can change the lake's name to something Canadian, LRR. Its fine. Its only fair. In light of the year's blur of events, Chat.
loufghyslaufey: Wait. Hyrule Population of what now?
Juliamon: I mean, I assume "Michigan" is indigenous in origin
Bruceski: I grew up next to the Rio Grande, which was a "big river" in New Mexico. I now live in Portland and my brain simply cannot register the Columbia as a river. There is land on this side, land on that side, but a river? Nope.
loufghyslaufey: Blizzcon?
TXC2: Juliamon or the English mishearing the French mishearing the natives yes
Juliamon: Blizzcon was earlier
hyalopterous: There's a lot in lake Baikal
loufghyslaufey: Right, nevermind...
TheMerricat: @Juliamon "comes from an Ojibwe (Algonquian) word meaning "great lake" or "large water"."
SquareDotCube: Call of Mulligan: Modern Forefare
LordZarano: If you want *all* the details about road signs and street furniture you need PlonkIt, the guide by Geoguessr players
Getter404: And then they did it again with a tree-man skin
Marvoleath: peacocking, you are clearly so good that you can make up for the disadvantage of high-visibility gun, Beej
Firewhiskers: So many dwarf outfits
luckie_no_13 subscribed at Tier 1.
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, luckie_no_13! (Today's storm count: 3)
Getter404: FOMO is the entire point of their monetezation, they need the social peer pressure for it to work
Laserbeaks_Fury: Frock and Sewn!
Firewhiskers: The only thing that matters in Deep Rock Galactic is which bug you've made your Steve
Getter404: VLC Paul
loufghyslaufey: Cori "DIO-farming" on a sidequest without even trying
loufghyslaufey: The Moonbase be "farming" for her
loufghyslaufey: But how much would Barbie play IRL?
loufghyslaufey: Queue? Or waitlist?
RockPusher: It's Valves standalone VR
LordZarano: Powerwash Simulator 1: £19.99 All DLC for PWS1: £40.49
loufghyslaufey: Steam Machine?
saiarcot895: queue to buy it
saiarcot895: like, one step beyond a "maybe being able to buy it" if you got selected
RockPusher: Which is a SteamOS device, running ARM, that can run some Windows games via FEX+Proton
ErynTzun: Yeah it makes sense to make VR googles since they have VR games on their store
mtvcdm: People used to sit outside a store for three days to buy these things, we used to be a proper country
RockPusher: but it is designed for streaming to
loufghyslaufey: So everything is a queue? Almost... "Queue-ification"?
mtvcdm: I sat outside for 21 hours in a Wisconsin November for a Wii at launch, where's the resolve from these people
Juliamon: They're fine, but something over a thousand bucks needs to be more than that
RockPusher: I'm really interested to hear how well the foveated streaming works in practice
loufghyslaufey: @Juliamon It boots on straight into a new HL game
loufghyslaufey: <(=w=)>
RockPusher: eye tracking and sending higher res for where you are looking
RockPusher: streaming here being game PC to the VR display
TheMerricat: "When the Steam Frame is set up for streaming, it means the wireless VR headset is configured to receive and play high-fidelity games rendered directly by a powerful host gaming PC or Steam Machine."
LordZarano: The massivest news with it is that SteamOS and a ton of games now run on ARM processors
loufghyslaufey: Outlived? Worn down welcome?
TheMerricat: VR is my white whale. It's the one technology I really want to be able to try out before I die but between my life circumstances and *waves around* everything going on. it's a bit dicey.
RockPusher: LordZarano it's a canny move since the main use is meant to be PC-based, but it stands as a nice test-bed for getting FEX to the point the next generation of gear can switch to ARM
Firewhiskers: VR is great for furries and ... uh.... "other" purposes that always dominate early tech (like the VCR, the internet, etc.)
Getter404: Due to the hardware design there's also a new translation layer that lets SteamOS/Proton work on ARM chips that seems to be what the tech people are actually excited about
Invitare: honestly the biggest one is price. I'm not going to pay three-quarters of the price of a Switch 2 (which is already a lot) for what's mostly just a novelty
loufghyslaufey: How'd that go for that one Batman Arkham game?
RockPusher:
Valve has been backing the FEX project https://fex-emu.com which is the ARM x86 emulation layer.
Laserbeaks_Fury: From what I understand Arkham Shadow was fine
loufghyslaufey:
And if they try it for a Spider-Man title? 
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!)
Getter404: @RockPusher Yup, that's the one
SquareDotCube: If VR wants to take off better, they have to bring an $800 experience in a $200 package, and they certainly aren't doing that right now.
TheMerricat: @SquareDotCube I mean IIRC they _did_ have $200 packages, it's just that they were either fly by night knock offs or required you buying into Facebook's Koolaid....
loufghyslaufey: No wonder he'd need to be bitten by a spider first. An complete utter normal human couldn't handle that much web-slinging sensory dialation.
RockPusher: Also of course, FEX+Proton is also a potential enabler of your Steam library on Android being playable on the Android device…
LordZarano: One thing Valve's engineers highlighted in their PCGamer interview is that a TON of traditional games are now getting VR mods. So if you're only looking at VR-only games you're missing a huge part of the VR picture
TXC2: right chat I'm off
RockPusher: 'night TXC2
TheMerricat: Night @TXC2 !
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, adn thanks for streaming LRR
Getter404: Then announced the Frame, the Machine, and the Controller 2 on the same day, which was just slightly pre-RAMageddon
ErynTzun: They were in development before the prices went up
TheCactaceae: 3 different hats
Getter404: The groundbreaking genre of "what was Nintendo doing 2-3 years ago"
TheMerricat: Valve is in the unique position of having no stockholders to be beholden to AND stockpiled cash that can do whatever experiments they want and not care if they actually fly.
loufghyslaufey: Their "gacha" line, was it?
SquareDotCube: Or Rikku
Getter404: Oh Mihoyo doesn't believe in paying their talent NEARLY enough to get Tara Strong
Juliamon: You made this? I made this.
TheCactaceae: Tara Strong's SAG-AFTRA too so they definitely won't go there :V
TheMerricat: So chat I lost the thread did Paul mention this AI company lost the lawsuit or was it still going?
alphi_gabriel: League of Legends at least got the same voice actress for Futaba in Persona 5 for the hero with a "legally distinct hacker" skin to do the voices
Mai_Andra:
for at least another two months... 
Getter404: @alphi_gabriel And Morgana as the Annoying Magical Support Cat
SarkhanGluedBackTogether: that is the nicest way that could have been said
TheCactaceae: I thought this was going to be about the physical soundtrack being available without a physical game for a second
RockPusher: I'd much rather watch Heather shouting Objection!
Mai_Andra: Would be so funny if nobody actually watches any GTA6 streams because everybody wants to play it themselves...
loufghyslaufey: Huh. (nopixel staring off the sideline)
Firewhiskers: How much copyrighted music plays in GTA6? It turns out, a lot.
loufghyslaufey: Or something. Idk.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Become the premiere Harvester streamer
Firewhiskers: GTA6 even has new music from established artists.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Who's still around?
loufghyslaufey: #talkcodes?
mtvcdm: If you break the news by 5 seconds against the next person you win
RockPusher: Front Page Vacuum Stories
mtvcdm: Just talk about vacuum cleaners Heather
Wolfstrike_NL: Beej, quickly, talk about appliances
loufghyslaufey: Inconspicuous vacation week? Maybe month?
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@mtvcdm Considering that was what happened one time LRR was on the front page 
Thefluffiestguineapig: And we were on the front page for at least an hour
ContingentCat: it was definitly different
TheCactaceae: I thought I'd check a metric, the Ninja Fortnite skin was last in the Fortnite store 15 days ago, so presumably he's still relevant somewhere
Laserbeaks_Fury:
Because vacuum talk inherently sucks 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ContingentCat The vacuum cleaner talk? It was the Beej content I am here for
Thefluffiestguineapig: HOW
RockPusher:
Thefluffiestguineapig: NONONONONONONONONONONO
mtvcdm: so very very grounded
saiarcot895: uh, how...
TheAinMAP:
mtvcdm: Oh his dad's GOING to take responsibility, it was his company credit card
Thefluffiestguineapig: THAT'S STILL TOO MUCH
Getter404: The tiny domino is in place
TheAinMAP: How much did the number go up?
Wolfstrike_NL: The dad made a video saying the account would should down I believe
Mai_Andra: "That's the neat part. It didn't."
RockPusher: gotta make it look like number go up Heather
BusTed:
mtvcdm: super, hyper fired
ghyllnox: "Well, no, so I can't"
TheAinMAP:
saiarcot895:
ContingentCat: and then he had to go change his pants
Wolfstrike_NL: shut down *
Getter404: Line Go Up but it's bad
saiarcot895: wrong line going up
TheMerricat: So the other thing that I'd be asking is _why_ was the company card's details saved to the account in the first place? Because this suggests the dad bought the _original_ ad campaign on that card and was playing fast and loose already.
kingandcommoner: Mighty Mike Plays has 220K subscribers
Juliamon: Also isn't that, like, definitely a ToS violation for an under-13 user?
SquareDotCube: New roof is loan territory
Thefluffiestguineapig: Never
Thefluffiestguineapig: Your relatives would need to pay it off
RockPusher: Depending on the company and what they do, having a very high limit might be reasonable for expected expenses
kingandcommoner: Most of the channel's subscribers are from the last few days
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner So after the news story
Mai_Andra: In response to the story, I expect.
kingandcommoner: yep
ContingentCat: There goes the kids collage fund if they can't get that back
Thefluffiestguineapig: NO ONE knows how to do the algorithm
TheMerricat: @Juliamon "Yes, it is against the terms of service for a minor to purchase and run a YouTube ad campaign. Because YouTube ads are managed through the Google Ads platform, users must comply directly with Google Account Age Requirements, which mandate that you must be at least 18 years old to create or manage an advertising account."
Mai_Andra: Heather did have blue hair at one time...
RockPusher:
but credit cards meeting kids 
s are a common thing - the YT angle is the interesting bit
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Mai_Andra Sure, but Heather IS AN ADULT
Mai_Andra:
Hell yeah. 
SquareDotCube: I'm learning that company cards are becoming more and more of a mistake and maybe it's time to go back to store tabs
Juliamon: I explicitly avoided ever getting a credit card because I did NOT want that potential
loufghyslaufey: @SquareDotCube Yeah... where'd those go anyhow?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SquareDotCube Yeah, but those only worked when they were small local stores
UnknownFriday: Credit is just the Peter Principle at work in finance.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon But the thing is you can't build credit without them
RockPusher: Indeed, after a certain point when the bank would say "hey, you're pre-approved for a limit bump, just ring to activate" and I'm like, nah
mtvcdm: I still don't carry a credit card. I don't like the idea of being in debt on purpose.
Juliamon: Thefluffiestguineapig I have had no use for credit whatsoever
ContingentCat: I'm at least smart enough to stay away from payday loans but yeahhh
loufghyslaufey:
Um, about that
kingandcommoner: It's Pokemon's 30th Anniversary!?
TheCactaceae: we do love a 30th
loufghyslaufey: All the Trainer Boxes are... already GONE.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Unfortunately I do, because they do credit checks for apartments. And jobs. And so many obnoxious fucking things THEY SHOULDN'T
loufghyslaufey: Trainer Boxes
Juliamon: Thefluffiestguineapig I didn't say nobody should, I just said I personally didn't
kingandcommoner: Small but high hit packs
loufghyslaufey: I still have the one from... at least a 20th Anniversary?
Wolfstrike_NL: It might be the anti-scalper edition, as the supply seems to be high, as well as the hits in the boxes
loufghyslaufey: I think that was... gen VI?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Oh I know, it is more I shouldn't need credit either. But I do
loufghyslaufey: Gen VI is a decade old now?
Juliamon: Magic developed a really robust third-party singles market, which helps the distribution issue. TPC is too controlling to do the same.
loufghyslaufey: I mean, is the TCG the company's unofficial... "loss leader"? Or something? See, if its not a game, I couldn't guess what makes them the most earnings.
loufghyslaufey: Oh, those are empty.
Thefluffiestguineapig: I get up that early for animals
Thefluffiestguineapig: And jobs, not that
Getter404: Oh they're dead. Fridge fell on them probably.
TheCactaceae: mood
Juliamon: They were torn apart by a ravenous pack of Geek Squad workers
Thefluffiestguineapig: Probably worth $.024
Foxmar320:
@Juliamon 
LordZarano: And this is why Valve did a lottery for first orders of the Steam Machine & Steam Frame
loufghyslaufey: Systemic purpose?
loufghyslaufey: That sort of phrasing?
loufghyslaufey: Constructive... utility?
RockPusher: oh, wow, I haven't visited Card Kingdom with the affiliate code in a while - like the custom partner landing page
Thefluffiestguineapig: Lorcana doesn't distribute enough product period
TheCactaceae: I honestly wonder if children actually get a chance to get Pokémon cards at this point, I've been in so many toy shops with signs saying "we have no Pokémon cards"
loufghyslaufey: @Thefluffiestguineapig They can't seem to decide their footing. (...yet?) Or moreso... cautious of it.
SquareDotCube: would be silly if we have to resort to bounties if people catch scalpers
Thefluffiestguineapig: @loufghyslaufey I worked at an LGS and we were supposed to get Lorcana several times, people kept calling us about it and the product never got to us
Getter404: Apparently they're not, scalpers are currently furious that the hit rates in the new expansion are too high so they're losing money
kirbyrocks: pokemon is super popular, let you gotta understand thats why theres so many scalpours
mtvcdm: TPC's ideal scenario is everyone who wants to play the game pays *them* to play the game and not a third party
SquareDotCube: @kirbyrocks the rare card market is being propped up by influencers like the Paul brothers - They are, ostensibly, a big part of the problem. Nostalgia is good part of the rest of that.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @mtvcdm At this point they should take a leaf out of Yu-Gi-Oh's book and make it unscalpable
ContingentCat: Concert tickets scalping is so bad for/
Foxmar320: I remember not finding TP anywhere.
Foxmar320: Was sad
Thefluffiestguineapig: MEDICATION SCALPERS ARE GOING TO A SPECIAL PLACE. I watched a cat suffer due to it
ContingentCat: @Thefluffiestguineapig oh god yeah those people are a special kind of evil
Thefluffiestguineapig: Someone shouldn't need to choose between selling their cat's insulin to pay rent (not the same as human insulin but a lot of people don't know that) and treating their cat's diabetes
Getter404: And this is specifically games with AI chatbots? So all you have to do is... not use chatbots?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Getter404 If it's all AI, I'm also WAY in favor of that
Marvoleath: Roblox falls under massive social media due to the number of its users/accounts
Marvoleath: and available interactions thereof
lamina5432: still wary of government being in charge of things like this. it really should be the parents being made to be more responsible
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Marvoleath Also they have "we just own any IP you make on here" too
Vinewood_OG: The AI is Rob Liefeld?
Marvoleath: @lamina5432 I mean, many parents have no idea of how has the media changed in recent years. Plus where is the line of what government should govern as harmful for underage people?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I also love tree forts
RockPusher: That sounds like a way to get arrested
Thefluffiestguineapig: I am not a child but I love tree forts
lamina5432: @Marvoleath then instead of doing something like this can we have some raise awarness ads by the EU going out first?
SquareDotCube: "hey kids, want to learn how to build fireworks?"
TheCactaceae: Tree forts are awesome, my PC's name is literally Treebase :V
RockPusher: but yes, "fuck yeah, tree fort" is a thought I've had every now and then since I understood the concept
kirbyrocks: yea out side is a cement hell scape now
Thefluffiestguineapig: They have designed these games to be addictive and often specifically FOR CHILDREN
Laserbeaks_Fury: This is how we get Codename KND
Marvoleath: @lamina5432 we already have that in many countries, there are programs in schools etc. but the same could be said e.g. about drugs
Wolfstrike_NL: And you can tell James he's not welcome up
LordZarano: Yeah... but that's a lot of work
RockPusher: Little pup tent inside the living room
ContingentCat: I actually had a tree house in the ravine behind the house, not having friends other than online made it not that fun.
RockPusher: The tree forts of today have to comply with more strict building code laws, Beej
Laserbeaks_Fury: What if we build two forts, facing each other, and you have to raid the other fort to take their flag
Thefluffiestguineapig: People don't have access to that stuff

mtvcdm: Dads will still take their kids to the hardware store
SquareDotCube: Kids want retreats from reality and society like adults want retreats from reality and society
Firewhiskers: Lots of folks live in apartments now tho - houses are really pricey
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Firewhiskers Many don't have access to a park
ContingentCat: I don't like the ban kids solution to predatory tech because there's the implication that it's not hurting adults and it definitely does
lamina5432: like I said regulate the actual problem
Marvoleath: That I fully agree with
RockPusher: Indeed, let's ban under-16s from social media when it's the adults being inducted into conspiracy cults that is the actual harm
Marvoleath: just like drugs, don't punish the victims, punish the exploiters
RockPusher: good rant Beej
Firewhiskers: ^
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hypercapitalism strikes again
BusTed:
Firewhiskers: Aerith me
SquareDotCube: you too can have 9999 damage inflicted upon your body
Laserbeaks_Fury: His sword doesn't seem nearly long enough
Firewhiskers: Will the Holy materia fall out of my tho
Mai_Andra: I like the one with Aerith on the escalator with a steel chair.
RockPusher:
I'm sure there are a bunch of people who want to be run-through with his "sword"
Thefluffiestguineapig: I would argue it's STILL in bad taste
Getter404: There was the shot with Adam Boyes and Shuhei Yoshida recreating their PS4 game sharing picture, but this time with Absolutely Nothing exchanging hands
saiarcot895: i mean, the same guy made both games...
RockPusher: ♫ Loot that body ♫
Laserbeaks_Fury: They fixed that in Claire Obscure
Getter404: We don't know... yet
Mai_Andra: I *just* got her weapon, and now I can't even use it?
KeytarCat: Remake is not a remake
kingandcommoner: Part 2 ended with that event, so probably it makes no difference
Getter404: Oh the ending to Rebirth is a LONG story
SquareDotCube: Most equipment doesn't carry over between Rebirth/Reunion so it isn't a problem
SquareDotCube: just the iconic stuff

LordZarano: Another funny bit of news, Consumer Rights Wiki has put together a list of all the times Sony and PlayStation have said that players “own” their games, after Sony argued that "it is not plausible to allege that reasonable consumers believed they were obtaining ‘ownership’ of a digital game"
KeytarCat:
if a game is only fun when played optimally, it's a bad game 
TheMerricat:
@KeytarCat Additionally if a game is fun when played optimally.... It's also a bad game 
RockPusher:
kingandcommoner: Is that when he destroys instead of creating/
kingandcommoner: ?
