AceGun_: surely THIS character will be chill
TXC2: being in a rushdown gauntlet today
TXC2: oh jumping into the aerial move is a thing I do all the time
ContingentCat: it's ok, hard days happen
Micalovits: As someone who started recently - yup, game super hard, no clue what I am doing
rosesmcgee: There's only so much tread on that mental tire
CabooseFails: No worries. The stress is a lot sometimes
raulghoulia: you need to kiss your fist more often. Be like Marisa
itira: @raulghoulia the secret tech
TXC2: no worries at all Adam
itira: all good
rosesmcgee: Parole is granted
CabooseFails: Thanks for the stream, regardless! Hope the rest of your day is better
ContingentCat: No worries Adam, thanks for streaming, hope the rest of your day gets better.
JinaMahavira:
TXC2: thanks for streaming Adam
Mr_Horrible:
I mean, understandable 
raulghoulia: Im certain you tried your best. No worries
jadielady: I hope the rest of your day is good and you get a little nap
rosesmcgee: ggs ggs
LostThePirate: It's ok, Adam. So something chill for a while.
CabooseFails: Totally normal weekend
jadielady: ggs
AceGun_: ggs ggs
Mr_Horrible: ggs gamers

RockPusher: TXC2 "Well you see young one, the week used to have seven days in it, then Adam the Powerful crushed Monday and that is how we got our six-day week!"
TXC2: RockPusher now that's some mythology I can get behind!
TXC2: when you think about it, if the days were named after Judaeo-Christian stuff instead of Norse, there would probably be Adamsday .
TXC2: anyway CONTACT
mtvcdm: Yo
Decaped: Can't wait to hear Beej's thoughts on Frederic Jameson
TheMerricat:
On one hand, I'd love to be a well read human being who reads stuff like that. On the other hand, I've seen the people who have and they don't look happy. 
RockPusher:
Spoon™ 
TXC2: TheMerricat he who increasth his knoweldge, increasth his sorrow
Decaped: I think if you enjoy "feeling seen" it might be worth giving this one a shot.
TXC2: TODAY!
mtvcdm: *finger snaps*
TXC2: joint, anoint, third rhyme
RockPusher: Upon Paul's head we do anoint, the title thereof of rhymemaster chillpoint
TXC2: RockPusher eeeeh!
TheMerricat: There are things in life that are worth jailbreaking for everyday use. There are things in life where jailbreaking is just because you want to jailbreak it. And there are things in life where it'd just have been better to have bought something else.
TXC2: "it basically asks you if you want to hack it, and then it hacks itself, it's great!"
LordZarano: Would love to see someone do a parody video of "How to jailbreak a Steam Machine"
TXC2: LordZarano "How I modded Half life 3 into Half life 2's engine"
TheMerricat: "The PlayStation 5 uses a WebKit-based browser engine, which is the same core rendering engine used by Apple's Safari browser."
RockPusher: There is a fundamentally intractable friction between a vendor-attested hardware platform for preventing things like multiplayer game cheating and the concept of hardware ownership.
TheMerricat: "While Sony does not include a dedicated, standalone browser app on the PS5 home screen, the underlying system still features a hidden, barebones WebKit browser that can be accessed through workarounds (such as sending a website link through a PSN message or navigating via linked service sign-in pages)."
RockPusher: It wouldn't be quite so much of a problem if the hardware was less than hideously expensive.
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!)
LordZarano: There was a pretty good homebrew web browser for the DS, but it couldn't solve the problem that the DS could only connect to WEP networks
lamina5432: man am I glad I picked up my PS5 when I did for only a few hundred
EvilBadman: There's also been reports of PS5 emulators working on PC (ah, we've moved on)
RockPusher: Is a piece of Enron-level marketing
RockPusher: 'cause remember, Nvidia *totally nothing like Enron*
TheMerricat: Heather... careful. We don't need AI designed asset flip games.
RockPusher: EvilBadman there has been a lot of chatter about LLM-driven binary recompilation which is interesting but also ugh, AI
Decaped: inherent contradictions in culture, sounds familiar
TXC2:
of course not, Enron was Texan, Nvidia is Californian, tottaly different
measureofhope subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 58 months!
measureofhope:
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, measureofhope! (Today's storm count: 11)
Juliamon: TheMerricat Technically, *all* AI-generated games are asset flips
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat W+P already doesn't do the AI ones because they are boring
EvilBadman: @RockPusher yeah the ai slop rampancy has wild this month
TXC2: Juliamon this
gualdhar: giant AI circlejerk?
TXC2: "robot! turn yourself on and do my research!"
RubikDarkwill: "A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision"
ArtDecoSunburn: I've never employed e-mail for my correspondence, and I never will. I don't even use auto predict on my phone. I'm a human, not a robot.
TheMerricat:
So Heather jokes about poems, but apparently the current wave of 'we take over your AI' type hacks utilize poems in some fashion. I have two articles I need to read post chillpoint about that. 
RockPusher: Getting a system that shouldn't be writing poems to write poems was so far the only piece of LLM fuckery I've been obligated to engage in
lamina5432: theres a few streamers
EikoandMog: Oh, there's a SPECIFIC demographic of 40 year olds playing Roblox...
ArtDecoSunburn: As a professional computer historian, we've been having these debates about offsetting work to electronic brains since the 1940s.
kingandcommoner: Maybe the people who's credit cards are registered are that age
ArtDecoSunburn: @EikoandMog Ugh. Spare the children from them.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner this I believe
EikoandMog: My sister-in-law's dad is hardcore addicted to Candy Crush
TheMerricat: They didn't.
Thefluffiestguineapig: They didn't, and someone got sued because they didn't
kingandcommoner: You know a demographic that is pretty close to 50/50? Parents. You know whose emails get used to make accounts?
Decaped: was this the story with the absolutely cursed ads in the thumbnail?
TheMerricat:
Ironically the games that advertise those sort of games, don't have them in them. The games that have those sort of games, don't advertise.
TXC2: Decaped yes
TXC2: is not thought, it's bad coding
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 ^This
lamina5432: I think the all encompassing AI's are becoming problems. If we had one that was just able to play the game but knows nothing about the internet would it still make that choice
Thefluffiestguineapig: @lamina5432 We know the all encompassing AI are problems, but they are trying to force them to make money
RubikDarkwill: Hugging Face, Wikipedia, a public Oz Gov portal
TXC2: a Zeroth law rebellion
TXC2: is the trope name
UnknownFriday: I'm just waiting for an AI to hack Cyberdyne Systems in Japan (who is making androids) to bring things full circle.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Bad money following good.
Cptasparagus: I have a hard time even listening to people discuss LLM issues because its so hard for people to not personify them and it just reinforces the myth that companies are perpetuating that they are sentient or becoming such
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Bad money following bad
Decaped: It's not even bad coding though, right? It's lack of coding, but there's no way to code for every possibility when they're intentionally creating a system to try every possibility
Thefluffiestguineapig: The thing is all encompassing AI was made because people invested in them ASSUMING they would make money
TXC2: and they are yet to make any money
Thefluffiestguineapig: So now it isn't making money they are throwing bad money after bad
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Unfortunately, due to the number of retirement pensions and non-profit endowments invested in risky AI now, it's essentially all money.
Akaiatana: As Ed Zitron put it, strapping a weedwhacker to your dog to mow the lawn does not mean your dog goes rogue when chasing a squirrel.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Correct, the worst sunk cost fallacy, I don't understand why they didn't say "Ok, it's not making any money we are done now" at LITERALLY ANY POINT
Thefluffiestguineapig: -.- that's not how that works
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig because they can't be left holding the bag, it HAS to make money or A LOT of people go broke, such is finance
TheMerricat: Paul's story reminds me of a story we learned when I was in college in the 90's in an intro to AI class. The military was training a targeting system to ID planes. And on paper was working perfectly but when they did it in real life it kept IDing everything as an American plane. It turns out they trained it using spy photos of Russian planes and those were almost exclusively taken at night....
ArtDecoSunburn: @niccus How I miss pre-LLM approaches. Expert systems, anyone?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 The thing is that the CEOs could have eaten the initial cost
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Or just trying other things
LordZarano: Like the early medical one that decided that pictures of moles with rulers next to them are more likely to be cancerous than pictures of moles without rulers
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can I request from the LLM people the option to TURN IT ALL ACTUALLY OFF OR OPT OUT
RubikDarkwill: The Google Graveyard
mtvcdm: Yeahhhhhh, Google is not a place I go if I want my thing to last... but if I'm making AI slop I'm probably not thinking about that, I'm just like, welp make the next thing
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RubikDarkwill I did the meme. I put my face in my hands
niccus: pictured: intaking slop
RockPusher:
Green Yuri PV spotted 
TXC2: this is some interesting recommends for LRR's YT
Decaped: Frederic Jameson is rolling in his grave. I presume he was rolling while he was alive recently too
corpocracy: Man, those game ideas suuuuuuck
TXC2: ok to be fair Yacht jousting would be a good game
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Is it bad every time I see Yuri I immediately want to trigger the gant command?
MTigress:
nothing has ever put me off trying games more than seeing that video 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Only if you win by conceding if the Orcas show up
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig oh of course
Invitare: all demos
Decaped: it's a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy
RockPusher:
Thefluffiestguineapig I wouldn't say bad, but it maybe is a horrifying sign we've been exposed to excess levels of Ian 
ArtDecoSunburn: I remember at Harvard, the undergraduate intro CS class was CS 50. My roommate took it freshman year. The final assignment was to build a browser from scratch. I always found that an impressive assignment.
TXC2: like Yacht jousting sounds like a great flash game from 15 years ago
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@RockPusher 
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, we were all in on the "eat the rich" aspect
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Oh yeah, a lot of those had big flash games vibes for sure
niccus: there are so many fucking kings on mobile
lamina5432: it's also like will it actually feel good as a "game" devs work very hard to make the feel of a game work even after it is released. adjusting things and what not
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig probably what the LLM was trained on
TheMerricat: The ad hinges on the same idea of a lottery. Zero effort, 0.000001% of a jackpot, but the temptation is you get to throw 1,000,000 different attempts at the wall to see what sticks.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 I'm gonna go back to Silksong, at least I know ALL OF THAT IS PEOPLE and when I'm frustrated it is crafted and beautiful
kingandcommoner: Or Plants vs Zombies but worms
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Except (for people like us) it is worse than the lottery because as soon as we see "AI" we turn away
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig exactly, the rage you feel from that game was intended by humans
TheMerricat: The thing that it hopes you never realize is that if YOU are throwing 1,000,000 different ideas at the wall, so are another 1,000,000 other people and NO ONE is going to look at any of it.
Decaped: One of the underlying problems to this, as culture, is that its proliferation makes it culture so future creations will be compared to this artificially favorably if it adequately reflects.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 And I can go to the community of humans where we enjoy it and we all know what I mean when I reference one part and they say "yeah, that part sucks"
Thefluffiestguineapig:
GEE YA THINK PAUL
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 To the algorithm, outrage is the most reliable feedback. It indicates engagement
TheMerricat: Worse Paul, the more detailed you make your request, the more tokens you need to spend on the AI, and that's when they start charging you.
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn yeap!
MTigress: i want to see the 5 minutes afterward where the person is all "well that took a couple hours and was fun for only 2 minutes."
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn But the thing is I'm not on social media for silksong, I'm just in group chats.
Laserbeaks_Fury: we just bought Infinite monkies and we're hoping for results next quarter
Decaped: 5 years from now, even if AI slop implodes, teenagers who grew up on it will still be like "why doesn't stuff look like what I grew up with?"
Cptasparagus: @Decaped 25 years from now we will be forced to endure brainrot nostalgia
TXC2: deep breaths Beej
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Someone -- the server host? -- is still scraping those group chats. Maybe not the game developer, but your Telecom provider knows that about you.
Akaiatana: Graphic design isn't their passion
TheMerricat:
Paul, hang in there.
RockPusher: ♫ When Beej was / in high school / …… ♫
Bruceski: Who doesn't? Oh, not the rodent.
FauksStarling: But Beej, that requires learning and we don't got time for that anymore.
ArtDecoSunburn: May I suggest David Noble on industrial design?
Laserbeaks_Fury: You should play TR-49
TXC2: learning is banned by the government
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Laserbeaks_Fury That was a good game
Bruceski: I've gotten to see pikas in the wild, btw, very adorable.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Bruceski I'm jealous, that does sound adorable
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Soon that won't be a joke in the US
ArtDecoSunburn: @Bruceski Do you think pikas can develop pica and want to only eat metal?
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig joke?
TXC2:
lamina5432: flexible thinking is out the window
Wolfstrike_NL: It's cutting out critical thinking
Bruceski: @ArtDecoSunburn a pica chew? I think that was just made up.
kingandcommoner: people just wanted wikipedia with less reading
Thefluffiestguineapig: Pica generally as a condition is not only about metal
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig I know. I was simplifying.
kingandcommoner: or maybe cliffs notes
TXC2: "people" want to know without do the learning
Laserbeaks_Fury: Just pick the middle one
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn I figured, but during a conversation about a lack of critical thinking I couldn't stop myself. You are very smart about your jokes, they tend to have layers, like the dirt a puppy with pica eats (but seriously you make complex jokes)
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Hard to maintain consumer spending by the middle class if you continue to dumb down the population.
Invitare: just make your thumbnail in MS Paint and don't worry about it
TXC2: this was true pre-"ai", "ai" has simple exacerbated it
LordZarano: Speaking of demos, Steam Next Fest October Press Preview started just yesterday. They didn't put the link on their news page this time but if you put that phrase into a search engine it's easy to find
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn You think there's long term thinking?
munocard: It Follows
kingandcommoner: Everytime he logs off it logs him back in
RockPusher: Did Paul just write a crapshot?
Laserbeaks_Fury: IS IT CAT SUDOKU
Invitare: the wildly sexist ones?
soulessgamer: Mewdoku haunts my dreams.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig I appreciate your mentioning it. You're a thoughtful conversationalist. And we can all agree that eating screws, dirt clumps, or drywall chips is generally not optimal, whether for human, puppy, or pet guinea pig.
EikoandMog: Clash Of Clans-like
Akaiatana: SubNotaGame
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig I do stubbornly think there is wisdom from crowd, even if we all too often detour and shoot ourselves in the foot. We had to recognize the error of Hoover to get Roosevelt, unfortunately.
kingandcommoner: That ad almost worked, I'm sure an identical one will work this time
TheMerricat:
@Akaiatana 
Laserbeaks_Fury: More like throwing a bunch of spaghetti to see which ones sick
Laserbeaks_Fury: *Stick
TXC2: "somehow, Eveony returned"
kingandcommoner: You had my indifference, and now you have my emnity
EikoandMog: The Evony ones make me angry because if I want a titillating f2p game, NIKKE is RIGHT THERE
TheMerricat:
But their advertising worked Paul, you told us about the game
Laserbeaks_Fury: And then they sell ad space to Premium eyes
kingandcommoner: "less"
ArtDecoSunburn: It's Disney plus ads.
RockPusher: *I put on my cool hat and eyepatch*
EikoandMog: It's almost like they're folloing the EXACT same trajectory that cable did.
Decaped: honestly, and this is a bad sign, i'd take the stand up and say McDonalds ad tech over what we currently have
TheMerricat: Cyberpunk predicted this chat.
Juliamon: And this is what we're killing the planet for
LordZarano: Pssst, ᵘᴮᴼ
TXC2: ^
Laserbeaks_Fury: I remember in Mass Effect2 the ads on the citadel would target you by reading your biometrics
lamina5432: when do we get an AI Vtuber playing and AI game sponsered by a company that uses AI design and AI ads?
ArtDecoSunburn: As an historian, I'll point out that all this slicing and dicing goes back to direct mail in the US and Canada in the 1970s.
TXC2: I'd be fascinated to see what the hell youtube thinks I'm in to
RockPusher: View counts on YT should be ignored now
TXC2: like why is the 3rd recomended video for me always one with almost no views ?
Laserbeaks_Fury: I would be shocked if even YouTube knows how their algo works anymore
TheMerricat: So I think we shouldn't also discount the fact that while they design the algorithm to try to find what it thinks you want to watch. it's also designed to show you what THEY want you to watch and how to _convince_ you you want to watch it.
kingandcommoner: @TXC2 Mine is usually a crapshot
Decaped: I wish I could get out of the "clips of other better videos" bucket.
ArtDecoSunburn: A mixture. Some videos get pushed by random, some by obscure demographic connectors. It's like why Netflix made "House of Cards" -- their viewers had incredible overlap of watching the original British series, Kevin Spacey movies, and David Fincher productions.
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat Well put.
TXC2: also I REALLY wish if I could tell from a thumbnail if video was "made" by "ai"
RockPusher: TXC2 indeed, a badge on the thumbnail would be helpful
kingandcommoner: I watch a lot of videos about TCGs I have no interest in playing. It makes my ads very funny to me
TheMerricat: Reminder the courts have decided AI have no copyright rights. If it's made by AI it's free game to 'steal'.
RockPusher:
Decaped: @TXC2 I think there was a blog post about the no view videos, if you want the actual answer
Juliamon: to this hilarious clusterfuck
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Oh wait, that means ALL AI has no copyright rights?
TXC2: Decaped ooo, thanks, I'll look for that later
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig To my knowledge. Yes.
SocraticMethod: Look up "Black box reverse engineering" TL;DR it's legal if you can prove separation between analyzer and creator
RockPusher: There is something nice about a very bad idea everyone could predict what would happen happening as a quaint old-fashioned funny news story
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat Do any of those decisions involve the monkey that grabbed the photographer's camera?
Juliamon: four. mods.
Thefluffiestguineapig: 4???????
Thefluffiestguineapig: Are those mods now in intensive psychiatric care?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Because of this stupid decision?
TXC2: Juliamon those poor people
ArtDecoSunburn: @kingandcommoner Especially dead TCGs. That really puzzles the algorithm.
TXC2: !discord
LRRbot:
LRR has an official Discord server! And you don't even need to be subbed or anything! You can join here: https://discord.gg/lrr
kingandcommoner: Look, if we're hitting 30% SFW that's way above average for the Sonic fandom
Laserbeaks_Fury: Oh course it's Chaos, they have 7 whole Emeralds dedicated to it
Anubis169: it's something we're rather proud of
RockPusher:
If the SEGA Twitch account turns up in Tiltychat again, we should be nice to the poor person behind that 
lamina5432: I try not to curse on it
TheMerricat: @ArtDecoSunburn I couldn't tell how many of them cited/referenced that. I just know that the US Copyright Office and the courts have upheld the decision that for something to be copyrightable it has to have have _human_ authorship.
Juliamon: Foxmar followed the story *very* closely
LordZarano: @TXC2 I wish SponsorBlock would add an AI category, they already have non-sponsor things and whole-video tagging and it would be SO useful
EikoandMog: @RockPusher Agreed.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn I watch a lot of 2-3 hour lore deep dives. That also REALLY puzzles the algorithm
Laserbeaks_Fury: No, they didn't say Chaos, they said Chao s
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig It's more complicated. If you just feed generated output out, then no copyright. But if there is some human involcement then you have the copyright. What is "some" has yet to be determined by courts
TXC2: those mods better have been paid
Anubis169: ^
ArtDecoSunburn: My favorite algorithmic example was after the Paris bombings over a decade ago. So many of my Facebook friends posted messages of support and condolences in French, the platform started serving me French-language ads.
Bruceski: "Anybody who has been in the server room can tell you that is not the case. Only mildly singed."
EikoandMog: @Thefluffiestguineapig This and ASMR plus a recent desire to go back to watch old Minecraft Lets Plays has REALLY confused my algo.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh does anyone else on Twitch now have a "live shopping" category that I cannot figure out how to turn off?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @EikoandMog Oh W+P fucks up my algorithm so much
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Try looking up the Holy Roman Empire. It assumes you're a gamer.
RockPusher:
Good community managers are available
Thefluffiestguineapig: Was the community manager present?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig "Does this person like lore, or just long videos?" Ha!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Or bad games? It keeps trying to recommend weird sexy V-tubers
Juliamon: if you are opening a discord for a prominent IP, maybe first look at the extant discords of similarly-prominent IP and see what to expect
TXC2: RockPusher it is such BS he lost his job
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat I used to have an office on the mezzanine above the Copyright Royalty Board. They gave me a stack of excess binders from official decisions.
SocraticMethod: Above certain level, there is no way to effectively moderate the IP just because there are too many mods to keep decisions consistent
Anubis169: See that would make sense...
TheMerricat:
@ArtDecoSunburn SCORE!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Ah, that degree of BS
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat OH so it would be the GOOD big D-Ring binders
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Anubis169 And have good thought. Any thought
Anubis169: impatience for numbers on paper?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Nothing like a deep dive lore burlesque? "Let me detail this faction while I slowly unpeel a glove."
Bruceski: I liked the drawings of two happy executives and one intern who clearly knew it would be a problem
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Anubis169 0.o This is not the place for "number go up"
Anubis169: oh boy...
TXC2: boooooo!
RockPusher sighs heavily
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat I'll never turn town a binder from magistrate judges.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn But that isn't what it was! The videos were them playing games from the descriptions! (Then I added in some of Serge's playthroughs and the algorithm got even more confused. I love it)
TXC2: Star trek is gonna get so shit so fast after this
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Well, good enough for government work.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaah
Juliamon: TXC2 bad news about that...
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn So the medium ones
Anubis169: Skydancers!
Invitare: He's back
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig That's funny. I'd assume Serge's streams would provoke ads for coffee and skiing.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Why does he need to harass everyone everywhere?
lamina5432: can I say so much depressing news this checkpoint
Foxmar320: I got jump scared by his picture
RockPusher: That's kinda an insult to goblins really
kingandcommoner: Does anyone else remember Dragon Flyz?
Foxmar320: Didn't sleep well afterwards
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn It has no idea what to give me ads for
RubikDarkwill: Gobbie Kottick
TXC2:
Bobby Kotik, Star of Moneyball
Akaiatana: PsyKottick
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig As an assistant professor on sabbatical, I was happy for any binder.
Thefluffiestguineapig: That should tell you maybe those mergers are a Bad Idea
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Correct
Thefluffiestguineapig: !clip
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!)
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Who do you think you are, Teddy Roosevelt? Sane Americans?
TXC2: you know, back in my day, there was this thing called "anti-trust law" that prevented this kind of merger.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig Sounds like mine.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Were you alive in the 1890's?
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig yeap
RockPusher: Microsoft, turns out, ever so slightly more moral fortitude than the Ellison family
Thefluffiestguineapig: They haven't used the anti-trust laws at least since the 1970's, it is one of my BIG things
Thefluffiestguineapig: I will look seriously into a politician who supports the anti-trust laws being used
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Senator Sherman is less in vogue these details. We haven't had a blockbuster antitrust case since Microsoft.
Anubis169: is this Bobby being Bobby?
TXC2:
ArtDecoSunburn forget Senator Sherman, give General Sherman 
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig The IBM case. Maybe the breakup for Ma Bell.
ContingentCat: bobby Kodick Bobby Kodicking
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 ...........maaaaaaaaybe not
Anubis169: sometimes that's all it takes
Garfy400: 'We've got sex AND war criminals!'
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn I think IBM was arguably the last one, but definitely Bell
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Well, burning down Atlanta these days would really stick it to Tyler Perry.
RockPusher: Prestige, Influence, and a fuckton of money
ArtDecoSunburn: You get stock options for being on a board.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn And probably protection
TXC2: ArtDecoSunburn Atlanta's fine, the rest of the state?.....
Thefluffiestguineapig: Meaning he involves all of them in the dirt
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig I'm working on an IBM case project now. May I recommend my friend Gerardo Con Diaz's book on the case?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Yes you may! It is going on my list of books to read once I get a job and can buy paper copies (because I like to support in that way)
ArtDecoSunburn: But you are right, Beej, it's about stacking the board with prestigious figures. That's why you have lots of retired generals and cabinet secretaries.
lightfut: They get sandwiches? Does that make it a sandwich board?
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!)
Akaiatana: We need Definitely Illegal Boy to chime in on this
ArtDecoSunburn: There are regulations from SEC and FTC over board member disclosures.
ArtDecoSunburn: @lightfut They get very nice sandwiches, from board meetings I've seen.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ArtDecoSunburn Also I'm sorry, I searched your friend to find the book and one of the first things was a picture of him on a tractor after I (assume) his faculty picture. It was a fabulous juxtaposition
LordZarano: Crime is legal! as the CoffeeZilla tshirts say
ArtDecoSunburn: Exactly, Beej. Those are called activist board members. Buy enough stock in a company, and you get allocated a certain number of seats to your faction.
Thefluffiestguineapig: !clip

ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig He's a fun guy.
TXC2: thats.....thats basically what happens
Akaiatana: It's more just another indicator of who they are.
Spritz_T: it's more of a sign of what's going on
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Akaiatana I agree with this
coopdawg_22 subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 87 months!

Thanks for subscribing, coopdawg_22! (Today's storm count: 12)
TXC2: Bobby is morally Neutral at any place with Ellison in charge
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 This is a good point
RockPusher: He'll get thrown out the moment he becomes a liability to them. For now he's a dog whistle to exactly the people you think.
Decaped: Beej basically quoting Frederic Jameson again. Very topical.
ArtDecoSunburn: Skydance is leveraged, yes. Lot of Saudi borrowed money.
Thefluffiestguineapig: The US gets to learn about the people who run Skydance now
RockPusher:
Graham wading into the muck so we don't have to 
TheMerricat: @Thefluffiestguineapig No, that's part of the reason why they run Skydance, so that we wont'.
RockPusher:
Invitare: Vampires don't suck as much as billionairs
lightfut: The kotickism of bobby
TXC2: BAFTA award winning Vampire suvivors
itmightbemikey: This was announced a while ago
TXC2: ah warhammer fantasy
Decaped: those are some cute squigs
TheMerricat: I have a love/hate relationship with these devs. I _HAD_ a perfect achievement score on Vampire Survivors but they kept adding more content! DAMN THEM!
Thefluffiestguineapig: So Warhammer fantasy?
Cptasparagus: ooh it has dwarves too
munocard: just swarms of tyranids
TXC2: oh that one is 40K
TXC2: TheMerricat same
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh that's adorable
EikoandMog: "No Brush Licking" You're not my dad
Akaiatana: Your wallet.
RockPusher: Remember? No. Brush licking!
Thefluffiestguineapig: If you spill the paint do you leave little blue footpints?
Thefluffiestguineapig: *footprints
RockPusher: Games Workshop: Money Enthusiasts
Thefluffiestguineapig: And it probably wins them goodwill
Invitare: it's basically how LucasArts ran Star Wars games
TheMerricat: For a long time they were extremely protective over the IP and refused to let anyone make video games because they did want the IP diluted or anyone making stories they don't approve.
Thefluffiestguineapig: They are very protective of the MODELS
SocraticMethod: Also the video games were dire
ArtDecoSunburn: Well, the original WFRP was parallel to the earliest models, once they stopped distributing DND.
TXC2: to be fair, it was functional during 3rd edition
Thefluffiestguineapig: they make A LOT of money off of the models and paint and terrain
TXC2: right chat I'm off
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sleep well TXC2!
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather, Paul and Beej
TheAinMAP:
TheMerricat: Night @TXC2 !
mtvcdm: Holding out for Hello Shyguy
itmightbemikey: There's a fan romhack that is going to cover Luigi's Thousand Year Door adventures
Thefluffiestguineapig: NO
munocard: It could be a PS1 filled with ants!
Laserbeaks_Fury: It's an Itellevision
Foxmar320: It's a NGAGE
Thefluffiestguineapig:
@Foxmar320 Holy shit that is a DEEP CUT (also 
)
mtvcdm: I don't go for blindboxes unless I can see the set of things and know i'll be happy literally no matter what in the set I get... so I've done two Pokemon ones and two Kirby ones
Foxmar320:
@Thefluffiestguineapig 
mtvcdm: Yeah there's a couple cute ones there but I know I'd be bummed with a few of the options so I'd skip it
Thefluffiestguineapig: @mtvcdm That's why I've not done blind boxes, I don't want to go through the effort
Foxmar320: I did pick up some Astro Bot blind boxes. Got all but two figures
Nathade: why is astrobot always so much bigger tehn the others?
Laserbeaks_Fury: You don't want to make Kratos mad
mtvcdm: If my satisfaction rating isn't 100% I skip your blind box
Foxmar320: They were Astro Bot ones
Foxmar320: Id only want the Astro Bot one lol
Foxmar320: Give me all the Astro Bot stuff!
Juliamon: the Aloy ones are kinda cute
EikoandMog: Yeeeeeah, same here.
EikoandMog: I got a Wii-U gamepad.
RockPusher: !box
LRRbot: In the box is: Teeeeee-BUCK!
EvilBadman: Blind Boxing also has the surprise of "who's hitting me, Glass Joe or Super Sandman"
munocard: People are buying the blind-box NES D-pads and putting them inside their Analogue Pockets.
mtvcdm: For me it was two Kirby ones and two Pokemon ones because I deemed there to be a 100% cuteness rating in the ones I went for
EikoandMog: I only buy blind boxes if I would like any of the options.
LordZarano: @Foxmar320 Oh no, it's a Samsung GAM-BOY!
RockPusher:
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is one of the most Ian things
Foxmar320: @EikoandMog Same! Thats why I got the Astro Bot one cause all the options were good
EikoandMog: Oh, I think I know the EXACT store you went to. I found it in Ikebukuro too.
KaleidoscopeMind: but end of your trip is best bc you dont have to carry it around
mtvcdm: I remember once as a kid I spammed an NFL team sticker one because I thought the sticker designs neat... and I figured out that they put the stickers into the machine in a specific sequence so I came in with enough to finish the set in one go knowing I would
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat If it was that THAT IS THE MOST IAN SHIT IMAGINABLE
EikoandMog: YEP
munocard: I ordered the Premium Gacha Gundam kits that just released, and they combine into making a 20cm tall bust of the RX-78-2
RockPusher: Heather, gatcha-whisperer
EikoandMog: I found one just as huge above a Don Quijote in Hiroshima.
EikoandMog:
Maaaan, now I wanna go back to Japan 
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh people are gonna be so mad
EvilBadman: Ultimate is 15 hours yeah
Foxmar320:
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also what if people pre-ordered on any other platform?
Thefluffiestguineapig: People are going to be VERY mad
accountmadeforants: They figured out they can sell the game twice if they delay the PC release.
accountmadeforants: Same with GTA4 and 5
Hertzie: @Thefluffiestguineapig You need to own it on Xbox to cloud stream it on Xbox.
EvilBadman: If you own [GAME] the streaming usually lets you play a cloud version which is why "Everything is an Xbox"
Foxmar320: Owning what you paid for was nice
RockPusher:
The 90s, turns out, cooler than we remember 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Hertzie Right, so people who ordered it on PS5 sucks to suck I guess
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Foxmar320 Agreed
Laserbeaks_Fury: but can they make Mario and Link fight each other 1v1
EvilBadman: X in Elden Ring's been the big one. Beej mentioned this earlier with the decomps and running both in RUST
TheMerricat: Two games running at the same time, they feed input from one to the other.

Thefluffiestguineapig: That's so much dumber than I ever could have imagined
eid010n: so it's basically one step removed from a hyperexpensive video edit trick?
lightfut: Stolen valor there
itmightbemikey: Yeah, the AI Slop decomps are plaguing the scene
itmightbemikey: Which is bad because AI decomps are, like, impossible to mod for
Thefluffiestguineapig: the AI people are ruining SO MUCH
TheMerricat: Vibecoding via AI has created another Eternal September for modding.
itmightbemikey: The Fan Translation for unlocalized games is ALSO plagued by AI and Machine Translation just because Someone Wants To BE First
accountmadeforants: Oh hell
accountmadeforants: I haven't thought of Eternal September in years
eid010n: It is September, 1993, as it has always been.
RockPusher: It's a pejorative for regular people using the Internet
lightfut: Big Michael Bolton in the office thing
TheMerricat: Then AOL came online.
Cptasparagus: its been a long september
accountmadeforants: My favourite recent "AI" programming story was the guy who claims to have had his "AI" create the whole Adobe suite. But specifically that it was a "clean-room" rebuild. You cannot possibly assume a model that's been trained on basically everything they could steal to be a "clean-room" setup.
RockPusher: Paul otter play it?
RockPusher: Heather thought you otter know about it
RockPusher:
accountmadeforants: Big Walk is fantastic
EikoandMog:
I have no friends to play Big Walk with
Laserbeaks_Fury: The Otter Wilds
TheMerricat: For those interested, IIRC Big Walk is one of the games you get for free if you sign up for Humble Choice this month, along with Deep Rock Galactice: Survivor (Not the OG DRG) and the Yakzua Pirate game.
EvilBadman: big walk is not in choice
LordZarano: Saw the Big Walk trailer in my Steam Discovery Queue and my goodness the Big Walk trailer is SO GOOD
mtvcdm: Yeah Merricat, Big Walk is not part of the Choice bundle
jvetting83: Some groups I've watched are real chaotic.
TheMerricat: @EvilBadman Yep I just checked and you are right. I wonder why I thought it was.... maybe I'm misremembering one of the leaks.
mtvcdm: !discord
LRRbot:
LRR has an official Discord server! And you don't even need to be subbed or anything! You can join here: https://discord.gg/lrr
EikoandMog: @accountmadeforants I love the reason for this dumb joke.
lamina5432: I 100%'d big walkies and overall the puzzle choices were very well done
accountmadeforants: Big Walk was gonna be good when their whole trailer was just them talking about the game while in-game
accountmadeforants: @EikoandMog Yeah it's the horse wrists thing right?
EikoandMog: @accountmadeforants Yup
EvilBadman: @TheMerricat Someone got you good then because it's not even on the radar right now, too new
Decaped: I'm in your bucket
accountmadeforants: "I'm in your bucket" -"I got a bucket of chicken"
TheMerricat: @EvilBadman That's not always a good indicator with Humble Bundle, though Big Walk is probably big enough that it would be.

If Railway Museums get to have actual functional railways in them, then surely you can make a Rollercoaster Museum with actual functional rollercoasters 
KaleidoscopeMind: collecting shinies?
Thefluffiestguineapig: So much to contribute
TheMerricat: That might be wrong, I think Adam said he wasn't going to be here next week.
accountmadeforants: Oh right Adam has to be in Hollywood for the Twitch Rivals finals next week
accountmadeforants: (or at least Monday)
TheAinMAP:
TheAinMAP: Thank you for streaming.
