TXC2: yeah I assume they're new on Manon
Micalovits: Seemed like they had a plan they where good at - so they will probably hit a wall when they regularly play against people that know what to do about it
Zaneysed: Youre mashing
Zaneysed: (I mash a lot too)
30teracyte: It's not just a you problem, but yeah you can adjust your inputs to avoid it
AceGun_: that one is an extra weird one.
AceGun_: Jamie is a broken character now.
30teracyte: What the hell
Zaneysed: Broken as needs fixed
TXC2: calling overheads Hazanzhu is no weirder then calling a reversal a Dragon Punch
RimeSkeem:
as a chun player i can safely say chun is broken op

TheMerricat: So this isn't a story I'm asking Paul and Co. to pick up and run with especially given how murky it is, but for anyone who remembers last week's story about the 9 year old Minecrafter who used his dad's corp CC to spend six figures on Youtube Ads, it sounds as if the dad was running a scam and it might not have actually ever happened.
TXC2: like an insurance scam?
RockPusher: It would be a good lure

LRRbot: If you're not under the trapdoor, run away.
TheMerricat: The dad turns out to be a co-owner of their own company according to their now deleted linkedin. And when they were pressed for proof, they provided a screenshoot of their billing statement, but it was for the sort of card you give the CEO not a rank and file 'heres the company card' card.
RockPusher: !quote paul
LRRbot: Quote #5948: "Is the ghost magnetic?" —Paul [2019-03-27]
TheMerricat: And they decided to 'finance' their mistake by selling ai designed tshirts.
TXC2: ewww
RockPusher: Not that we didn't have hints of the expected character of this person in the whole "taught kid how to buy YT ads" part of the setup
TheMerricat: A couple of youtubers reported on in then reported that he sent a legal team after them, which, to be fair if they were lying would be whichever of the libel/slanders I can't remember the difference is, but the funny thing is he also claimed he had been fired and was broke, thus selling the tshirts so...
Juliamon: He would have deserved to be fired either way

TXC2: MacD is more of a real estate company then a fast food joint now
RockPusher: Indeed, Paul has a point. If WotC stopped making money off of MtG, Hasbro would be instantly broke.
TheMerricat: @RockPusher MtG generates over half of total corporate revenue via the gaming segment and delivers roughly 70% to 72% of Hasbro's total operating profit.
TXC2: WotC owning their own printers gets into monopoly problems
LordZarano: Literally the highest grossing media franchise of all time
TheMerricat: So fun fact the Pokemon Company _does_ own thier own printer. They purchased it in 2022
EikoandMog: Oh man, there's an amazing deep-dive video for a US company that had the official Yu-Gi-Oh printing contract and then just to get extra profit, sold their own bootlegs.
TheMerricat: Acquisition: The Pokémon Company International bought a majority stake in Millennium Print Group in April 2022 after partnering with them since 2015.
TheMerricat: Other Partners: While they own Millennium Print Group, The Pokémon Company still occasionally utilizes other global printing partners like Cartamundi for certain regions or products.
TXC2: interesting that they haven't been hit with anti trust suits
RockPusher: During War of the Spark where I was buying Japan-printed and USA printed it was *very* noticable they use different printers
TXC2: Destiny: we're still here
Laserbeaks_Fury: It really feels like they were ready to put all their eggs in Marathon's basket and it did not live up to their expectations
TheMerricat: @TXC2 Reminder that under US law, monopolies are _NOT_ illegal. What's illegal is using your position as a monopoly to prevent competition.
kingandcommoner: My bets are on Destiny Pachinko
TXC2:
TheMerricat yeah, they're legal is no one cares 
TXC2: *if
TheMerricat:
Laserbeaks_Fury: it fosters a lot of FOMO
TheMerricat: The vaulting of content is the one bone of contention I have with NMS and their per patch expeditions.
TXC2: "Time stone!"
RockPusher: Like a Dragon: Real Estate and Disco Simulator
TheMerricat: What's the MMO term chat? phased? I can't remember it properly the one where it means that everyone is in the same PLACE but they all see a different version based on how far they've gotten in the game?
TXC2: TheMerricat instance ?
TheMerricat: that's it thanks @TXC2 !
TheMerricat: Instanced
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's the correlation of FOMO is that once you have Missed Out, you are discouraged from ever engaging
Laserbeaks_Fury: WoW Classic is all about that

radiowasabi2014: costs of FFXIV servers are large, and several of it's older servers were repurposed to run the character Lodestone website and the game's character/account settings backup servers.
TheMerricat:
Morrowwind had the solution to that. You _weren't_ the first chosen one. You are just the one that managed to make it across the finish line.
Micalovits: Deeprock does it so so well
DoodlestheGreat: I remember Firefall, where they tried to tie game progression to player contribution. It was a fustercluck.
teacherhenryof: Your thoughts about the last expansion?
EikoandMog: Moon's Haunted
Laserbeaks_Fury: Turns out there more deeper to go
radiowasabi2014: FFXIV seasonal events are FOMO, you miss them, they're gone, they don't come back
TheMerricat:
Now chat is reminding me that Anarchy Online is still around
Micalovits: The ability to just... Go back and get the old cosmetics is great
radiowasabi2014: you have to buy past freebies for money on the mogstation online store after if you missed it
TheMerricat:
Chat, the answer is to only play dead MMOs no more FOMO. 
TXC2: yeap, always play old games
Laserbeaks_Fury: Yeah it's a double edged sword. It's why games are getting so afraid to let players put the game down because there's a huge chance they just never come back
TheMerricat:
Well that and Bungie is famous for having deep lore and taking half of it out makes the later lore harder to follow.
RockPusher: I mean, they *did* have a Very Good Writer™
LordZarano: Alison, it turns out, is a pretty good writer
Decaped: Path of Exile 2 is almost there already
EvilBadman: FF7 Revalation next year is expected to be 200gb
Mai_Andra: Diablo 4, Elder Scrolls Online, probably GTA6...
Micalovits: File size is a bad excuse for older content, you can just... Not have HD textures available for the old content and save 75% of the size
TheMerricat: Five years ago: ARK: Survival Evolved (275GB)
RockPusher: Continued Enshittifying
NapalmSideburns: Meanwhile warframe sometimes goes, hey wanna update your download cache and free up couple of gigabytes of download cache?
EvilBadman: That Leo DiCaprio joke that buzzes by at the beginning of that story was wonderful
TheMerricat: @Micalovits Or, download it when you need it and not behave as if every asset has to be preinstalled. Especially for an always online game.
RockPusher: Indeed, any dunk on Leo for that pattern of behaviour is good
TXC2: RockPusher now to be fair, we don't know if he dumps them, or they do when they realise he's that immature

TheMerricat: 343 Studios was formed by Microsoft when Bungie jumped ship. They were always sorta a 'awkward child' type situation. The franchise wasn't their original creation and the reason for them to exist was mostly because Microsoft didn't already have a business unit to handle Halo.

RockPusher: To be fair, "Guy who runs fast" *is* Sonic's Thing™
Micalovits: I would love a paper mario style take on Sonic
westerfarmer: The Sonic murder mystery!
MrGibberish: @DoodlestheGreat game so bad, it is completely unknown by most despite the original series being initially promising
CaptainSpam: Unrelated, the recent Sonic the Hedgehog *actual* pinball table is legit good stuff.
ArtDecoSunburn: @westerfarmer Sonic slow walks a murder investigation.
SaxPython:
TXC2: Knuckle did get his own game
ContingentCat: well when will Ampersand get it's own game
CaptainSpam: Fishing. Simulator. With. Big.
TXC2: BANGER sound track on Mean bean machine though
ArtDecoSunburn: @RockPusher Do you think Sonic ever has existential crises? "Is this all I am? What is the teleos of Sonic?"
EikoandMog: They have enough characters to make it happen.
ContingentCat: Final Sonic x-2
MrGibberish: Sonic with monster hunter gear?
Barb4rian: Ed SHeeran own goaled so hard.
DoodlestheGreat: And a giant Robert Kraft throws blocks of money at you?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Some people just wanna stomp noobs
Juliamon: The problem is how "skill" is measured
TheMerricat: The problem is smurfs and aimbots
DoodlestheGreat: @Juliamon And how many folks are there available at the given skill level.
radiowasabi2014: GIT GUD NOOBBBSSSS
TXC2: "killing a bunch of noobs" is what single player is for
bytecaster: But as soon as you have like support roles, it gets tricky. Also, sometimes kills aren't directly translateable to impact in team games.
TheMerricat: Who plays the objective when you can play death match.
EikoandMog: I think a lot of people who dislike SBMM mostly want to go back to dedicated servers.
DoodlestheGreat: I do.
bytecaster: Also, do shooters not have like an unranked mode? Most of the competitive games I play do.
EikoandMog: It was more to do that you'd end up with a server that wasn't 'ranked' and you'd end up with a community.
ContingentCat: a common mistake
CaptainSpam: More people should experience Splatoon, it's true.
LordZarano: @DoodlestheGreat Flatout 1, 2, & Ultimate Carnage were much loved destruction derby racing games which inspired spiritual successors like BeamNG and Wreckfest. 3 was very much not that and killed the franchise, hence requiring the creation of spiritual successors
EikoandMog: That being said, I had a match of Halo Reach where the opposing team nearly beat us without a single death. The only reason I had fun was because I got the ONE kill on a dude and ruined his achievement.
TheMerricat: Did that one mother game ever actually come to us?
EikoandMog: There's no way we're getting that one.
bytecaster: Like Dota 2 and Heroes of the Storm do have Unranked modes for when you don't wanna be sweaty, is that not an option?
EikoandMog: @bytecaster LoL has ARAM which is definitely meant to be an unsweaty mode but people still get sweaty.
MTigress: mother 3 is the one piece?
Laserbeaks_Fury: JOnathan Blow 100% would
TXC2: bytecaster unranked often still use skill based match making
ContingentCat:
yaaay
Laserbeaks_Fury: Destiny?

RockPusher: honestly I prefer they are blunt about it rather than being subtle
TehAmelie: what four letter word could they be using to describe this lady. . .
pawssumplace: There are legal things in Germany about displaying those actually
TXC2: yeah, you can't have a swastika in ANY context in Germany
bytecaster: My mutant power is that all photos of me are blurry
JDogg2K4: Duh! They're vampires!
ContingentCat: I'm fine with homophobic censoring being lazy really, why not just be cool with wives
MrGibberish: @TXC2 which is unfortunate because the symbols relationships with Buddhism and hinduism
TXC2:
no no, it's Rogue Ass from the 90's cartoon

Bruceski: skill issue
bytecaster: I believe it, I hear shooter player don't like things to be skill based.
TXC2: Bungie to players: "GET GUD"
Laserbeaks_Fury: Oh it resonated, that crowd is just not big enough to sustain the game like they want
CaptainSpam: I feel like Constant Loop of Failure is a novel by the same guy who wrote Don't Invent the Torment Nexus.
TehAmelie: something something if you want a constant loop of failure why would you need games
Izandai: The thing is that it wasn't designed to be! There is in fact quite a bit of design effort put into incentivizing cooperation!
TXC2: Constant loop of failure is just the cycle of life within Samsara
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's a feedback loop: If the lowest skill players always lose their stuff, they eventually quit. And then the people who used to beat them now are getting stopped by everyone, they eventually quit. It slowly trickles up till only the sweat are left
Bruceski: similar to Breath of the Wild's weapon degridation which can really wall some people until it (hopefully) clicks.
bytecaster: @Laserbeaks_Fury Ah, yes, the sweat distillation pipeline
Laserbeaks_Fury: Fortnite, FF14, NMS, are all games that are now huge success that initially failed and had to be redesigned from the ground up

TheMerricat:

LordZarano: So Marathon was before WASD was standard?
TheMerricat: @LordZarano Very.
Micalovits: Marathon was just when you could look up/down instead of side to side
TXC2: right chat I'm off
TheMerricat: Night @TXC2 !~
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather, Paul and Beej
ArtDecoSunburn: Different political entities, but both city and county have a mayor.
Bruceski: Marathon is available free on Steam and there's definitely a learning curve. I need to poke at it more sometime and figure out if I can get it to work with my brain.
TheMerricat: All of this happened right before the county’s own commission figured out what was going on, and its members didn’t even know about the contract.Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava struck a deal with Rockstar Games, the Miami Heat, arena operators, and delegated her authority to approve the poster without any votes from the 13-member Board of County Commissioners.That’s because the deal was closed at $975,000, just $25,000 shy of the threshold at which the Board of County Commissioners.....
ContingentCat: On an arena type thing seems fine
TheMerricat: "Board of County Commissioners would have had to vote on the matter."
TehAmelie: we don't have mayors here, just the city council's chairperson. feels like a lost opportunity for giving a city personality
Laserbeaks_Fury: Does it go straight into Doctor Doom's pockets?
ArtDecoSunburn: Experiencing the marketing is the game! You're already playing! -- Some ad guy, probably
wildpeaks: talking of NMS, the anniversary expedition was so good
ArtDecoSunburn: @TehAmelie Mayors vary greatly in power and role by region in the US.
Laserbeaks_Fury: The shouldn't have selected "Hurt Me Plenty"
gnyrinn: A moment of silence for these guy's business plan. ... Right, moving on.

YFiddler: true
EikoandMog: I need to find the "OH SHIT" clip again where Beej forgot to pick up Cam from the airport.
ArtDecoSunburn: What Heather complains about is rampant with board games on Kickstarter. All sorts of "extras" themed around iconic game elements for world no one has played in yet.
EikoandMog: Oooh, that game is super good.
TheMerricat: @ArtDecoSunburn I still have the 'gold' coin I got from either Dungeon Master or it's sequel Chaos Strikes Back.
Mai_Andra: still need to get back to AssCreed Shadows. I weirdly seemed to lose interest when I found there was no modern story at all...
EikoandMog: The Octopath Traveller collector's edition was super cool. It was a pop-up book that showed off all 8 characters.
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat Neat. I know I have a stray Ankh from some game. I have at least two video game soundtrack CDs that came in boxes.
ArtDecoSunburn: @EikoandMog That sounds fun.
EikoandMog: It also came with a paper map and a 'gold' coin.
ZephyrousOne: If there's 10, are they quadrants, or decants?
ArtDecoSunburn: @EikoandMog I'm all in favor of physical map game swag. I used to work in an academic map library, and I jokingly suggested they collect maps from video games. The curators were not impressed.
westerfarmer: Links awakening
EikoandMog: @ArtDecoSunburn Booooooo
TheMerricat: Which ending Heather? Which ending!?!
EikoandMog: I've been playing the new Fire Emblem. It's real good once it actually gets going.
Micalovits: Isn't that the best sign of it holding up?
ZephyrousOne: @ArtDecoSunburn Like those cloth maps that used to come with old RPGs?
ArtDecoSunburn: @EikoandMog Strong Museum of Play in Rochester collects those, though. They have one of the most comprehensive collections of game box contents and ephemera.
FauksStarling: Hearing it holds up still from someone who hasn't played before is better, since you don't have nostalgia goggles.
DoodlestheGreat: If the game is still as enjoyable as it was in the beginning, that fits with "holding up."
TheMerricat: WOOT!
EikoandMog: I've also been playing Beyond Citadel and uh, that game SURE IS an experience.
EvilBadman: CT's one of the first games to do New Game+, too
ArtDecoSunburn: @ZephyrousOne Exactly. I see them as important cultural artifacts, tapping into people's fascination with maps to add flavor to video games.
EvilBadman: Sea of Stars
TheMerricat: Sea of Stars
Micalovits: Oh? I need to look at that
