drizztnailo: honestly i think the real horseshit that he does that will stay is his burnout chip setups
GamerCat88:
Obsc:
hah, I avoid all mindgames by not thinking at all 
TXC2: KeytarCat kinda grappler/zonner hybrid that mainly does recoverable "grey" health damage
Mr_Horrible: he's got big payoffs, so if people can make it consistent enough people will probably try
drizztnailo: maybe, but he feels like a matchup knowledge/experience check atm so i have no idea what will happen when people learn to defend against him consistently
Mai_Andra:
Are we ready for "Oops, all Tifa"? 
Mr_Horrible: "Where did you learn that word?!" - Adam
GamerCat88: when does Tifa come out?
TXC2: Tifa will be great for a month, then when the DLC sales slow down they'll nerf her into the ground
Mr_Horrible: she's the last of this wave of characters iirc?
Mr_Horrible: so we've got Bosch first
TXC2: GamerCat88 next year I think
Mr_Horrible: or however you spell it
AceGun_: No, we still have Bosch after Tife
30teracyte: Tifa is next, bosch is last
AceGun_: Yes
drizztnailo: tifa before bosch i think
Mr_Horrible: oh, okay
Obsc:
Bosch is last ye 
GamerCat88: @TXC2 wild
KeytarCat: FFXII Bosch?
Micalovits: Can't wait to play against 90% Tifa for a week or two
TXC2: CAPCOM need that Tifa money
Mr_Horrible:
foolish capcom, why aren't stringing along your playerbase for an extra 3 months? 
AceGun_: They know they have to take their time and make sure Bosch comes out perfect. For all the Bosch fans.
Mr_Horrible: @AceGun_ 1 person will pop off so hard it'll be a nuclear event
saucemaster5000: @Mr_Horrible Bosch is Popular!..... (Sorta. In Japan.)
AceGun_: There are a group of casual players in Japan that do really like Bosch, it's true.
Mai_Andra: The last character release gets somewhat overshadowed by annual balance pass and "next season" announcements.
Mr_Horrible: @saucemaster5000 I mean Japan-based companies *DO* be making Japan-based decisions. *solemnly looks at the history of Metroid*
EnglishGrinn: the Logic of Bosch makes sense to me - if someone let you play as Gary Oak in Pokemon, we would have done it
Mr_Horrible: @Mai_Andra I didn't think about that aspect, but that does make sense
Mr_Horrible: last release being a little more crowded, so don't have the guest character there
saucemaster5000: @Mr_Horrible (looks at the seasons of Manon nerfs) no idea what you could possibly mean. (Fucking Akutagawa)
TXC2: and then Juri kidnaps him for some reason
Micalovits: @TXC2 I mean, he is pretty cute
Mr_Horrible: @saucemaster5000 can't have horse, can't have frames... GLORPSHIT
Mr_Horrible: IDK why but "MrTurtle" feels like a very good name for someone jamming Arjun
Mr_Horrible: whimsical but vaguely ominous
TXC2: this is like our 4th match against this MrTurtle
EnglishGrinn: Soild win to go out on
RockPusher:
AceGun_: If I win, I had fun.
Mr_Horrible:
thanks a lot Nelly now they're gonna *buff* him! 
TXC2:
totaly normal character
Sethalidos: hey Adam are you able to say if you liked the new Street Fighter movie or not?
TXC2: Mr_Horrible Capcom gonna give him a THIRD projectile
ForOhForError: watch how they move, learn their lunch order
TXC2: Sethalidos he said he liked it
Mr_Horrible: I wanna see it, yeah
GamerCat88: did you find Luke's Mom in the film...
saucemaster5000: I liekd the movie and if "I" liked it, look...
TacitusVigil: Hello Adam! I saw on Checkpoint that you are a famous champion now?
Mr_Horrible: trying to get to a showing with friends this weekend
TacitusVigil: Congrats!
Mr_Horrible:
@saucemaster5000 it's no "The Mangler"

ace_of_dragon037: hello all
TXC2: hello ace_of_dragon037 welcome
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok, I watched Checkpoint yesterday but I was very tired
TheMerricat:
So funny thing chat. Caught up on Checkpoint just before Oki and when Graham gave his comparison of Epic to the rental company that claimed they were #2 but were actually #whatever I thought to myself "Is Epic actually #2 yet?" I couldn't find any hard numbers but... from every account I've seen Epic is still #4 or lower, below GOG and Itch.io. 
Juliamon: it was 3 stories of the different aspects of why AI sucks, and then one story to gas up Adam
TheMerricat:
But then again, most of the results I found were polls instead of hard numbers.
Juliamon: well, I guess the GTA story was crypto, but it's the same people as AI
Juliamon: techbros being techbros
mtvcdm: Heyhey
TXC2: Juliamon the world ending BS yeah
TXC2: *the same
Earthenone: im sure it will come out that the hack to get access to gta6 was vibecoded
SocraticMethod: Chat, Steam skin gambling son or Epic AI daughter?
TheMerricat:
@Earthenone Or more likely, Rockstar's security was. 
TXC2: SocraticMethod Son, he might actually make money
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Earthenone Or it was someone on the inside
TXC2: TODAY!
Juliamon: SocraticMethod Childfree
jadielady: hey y'all
Invitare: but we only have 113 people
TheMerricat: Paul, you've got 3 there and twitch chat. We are set!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Can the mug help?
RockPusher: Heather has the power of the Moon and Anime on her side!
Thefluffiestguineapig: !chat
LRRbot: Chat? At this time of year?
mtvcdm: LRRBot, hit a button
mtvcdm: !quote
LRRbot: Quote #8151: "Paul, give 'em the dick!" —Bengineering [2022-07-30]
TXC2: Clearlly we need Ian to help
Invitare: opposite Paul, obviously
Thefluffiestguineapig: As a response to the idea of using chat to help
RockPusher: ♫ Local man, local man / Local man Adam Savidan / Is he big? Yes you bet! / Comes in clutch at the tournament. / Watch out! We stan a local man. ♫
SocraticMethod: Just get Adam and make him stand behind Paul
jadielady: so tall, so handsome
Thefluffiestguineapig: He's SO DAMN TALL
Thefluffiestguineapig: (I'm 5'0" so many people are so damn tall to me but he's especially so)
RockPusher:
RockPusher:
Well derailed Heather

SocraticMethod: Beej is buying out EB Games?!
mtvcdm: buutplug.io convention
Juliamon: buutplug
TXC2: chat's gotta earn the new news
mtvcdm: Yes it's the Dutch offshoot
BusTed: Is it related to the Ocarina of Time remake
SocraticMethod: "we can continue this dicussion buut first I gotta plug these sponsors"
TXC2: "would you love me if you took me to Toronto?"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Depends, you have to pay for my cats to get paid for
Earthenone: can he kill mcbeth in any way that matters?
Thefluffiestguineapig: That announcement, I read it and felt my brain was COMING OUT MY EARS
mtvcdm: Vibe coding is, eh we'll just write whatever it's probably fine
Thefluffiestguineapig: The first sentence is just.........
TacitusVigil: But can it kill the Witch King of Angmar?
Sethalidos: I love how it also indicates that Epic apparently has no actual programmers on staff
Juliamon: I'm in support of "vibe coding" being changed to "cuck coding" because you just sit there and watch
SocraticMethod: Doesn't that qualify for 90% of software, considering the gender ratios?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TacitusVigil No that specifically takes effort
wildpeaks: "sudo make me a launcher"
TacitusVigil: @Thefluffiestguineapig Fair!
Invitare: except the Computer on Star Trek is competent
TheMerricat: And we hope it doesn't vibecode a villain that can defeat Data?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Invitare And made by people at it's core
RockPusher: Epic really proud of the shit they took on the carpet
TacitusVigil: If you rhetorically ask "who will rid me of this troublesome priest" and AI responds to it, what will it do?
Spritz_T: vibe=lazy
Akaiatana: Tongue in cheek on serious issues comes off as tone deaf, every time
Earthenone: its the lobby you put credit cards in to
SocraticMethod: Was Epic V2 launcher serious isse?
EikoandMog: And in response, someone worked out how to make Fortnite work outside of Epic Launcher.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok, I'm gonna say something that will be so inside baseball that it won't make sense till the end. Deadpool comics are a mixed bag but one of the things that is so dumb it turned out AWESOME was that he was the only one who could take out Taskmaster because he's SO ADHD that his brain doesn't make plans so he can constantly distract Taskmaster but he's also a close combat savant
jadielady: hey y'all remember gamespy?
Thefluffiestguineapig: That is awesome because a human made it, and right now people are expecting AI to make that and IT NEVER WILL
Thefluffiestguineapig: If people follow me
Akaiatana: Shopping carts are hard.
eid010n: Unfortunately, the "yacht" Epic tried to belittle is now faster than their speedboat, while still having two pools, a theatre, and a cocktail lounge.
RockPusher wonders if it'll pass PCI DSS Compliance
Thefluffiestguineapig: @RockPusher Seems unlikely
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also RockPusher that's a great point
TXC2: whose computer was getting these wake up times for stream, 'cause it sure as sugar ain't mine?
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!)
TXC2: I've set my steam to not start on PC startup because it takes SO much longer if it does
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Some people who have """"modern"""" computers that can get the test speeds people advertise for modern games that humans can't get
SocraticMethod: Well, when your store app runs on unreal engine, it's not very efficient
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Yeah, but do you see what I mean about the AI and Deadpool comparison? People are expecting it to make this super cool ending out of nonsense but it never will was my meandering point
Manfred909:
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig yeah, I guess my computer is.....7 years old?...oof
TheMerricat: So many features they launched and never came back to touch and only 5% of people use.
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig yeah I got you
wildpeaks: completionists
TheMerricat: Not only are they doing the achievements in sets, but they are letting devs mark ones as no longer achievable so those don't count against completion either.
TXC2: no, you're right Beej, it's an obsession
LordZarano: p.s. If you want the AI disclosures on Steam to be more obvious and unmissable, there's a browser extension for that. Called "AI warning for Steam"
SocraticMethod: Are you even done with metroidvania if it's less than 110%
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 I'm going to go to discord because I have an old laptop that I'm going to try to strip down and do a reinstall and see what people recommend so I can have something for when this Macbook Air that is somehow dying even though it shouldn't be dies
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod If it has no DLC, yes
SocraticMethod: @Thefluffiestguineapig Base castlevania symphony of the night had 200.6% completion max
Thefluffiestguineapig: @LordZarano I installed a DuckDuckGo thing and suddenly my mac is running VERY HOT. So I need to find whatever someone said was basically firefox but no AI to see if that helps
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SocraticMethod Of course it did
TXC2: I like it best when Achievements give you things in game, Stalker CoP did that really well IMO
wildpeaks: I reached 100% several times in Vampire Survivors, yet they kept adding more at every update, so I gave up on that eventually
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 That's one of the things I like about Silksong TBH
Juliamon: Thefluffiestguineapig Waterfox or Librewolf
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Cheers friend
TXC2: you can opt out of the AI stuff on firefox
SocraticMethod: "This is the part where he kills you"
Decaped: Portal 2 has a great achievement/title moment.
TheMerricat: @TXC2 For now.
EvilBadman: Portal 2's "This is the Part Where He Kills You" / "This is this part" set
TacitusVigil: @SocraticMethod "This is the part where I kill you!"
EvilBadman: All your unused elixirs, Paul
SocraticMethod: @TacitusVigil Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You
TXC2: "this is the part were I win....after I wiff that jump like 3 times"
TacitusVigil:
@SocraticMethod Oh yeah, I just wanted to do the bit
An anonymous user gifted a Tier 1 sub to TacitusVigil!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, TacitusVigil! (Today's storm count: 25)
TacitusVigil: Unless you'd just like to jump in
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 You can but it still runs very heavy requirement wise weirdly
RubikDarkwill: The update had been in the beta client for a while
TacitusVigil: Thank you to anonymous for supporting LRR, they're good folk, thank you.
LordZarano: Librewolf needs some configuration to be used "normally" cause by default it has a bunch of anti-fingerprinting stuff that can break things. Don't know how Waterfox is, haven't used it
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig yeah, I have 3 tabs open and it's using 1.5 gigs of RAM, not sure if that is a lot or not
Thefluffiestguineapig: I probably should just do a wipe of my computer and reinstall the MacOS to try to help that
Juliamon: I've been on Waterfox for awhile (was also put off by having to do a ton of config in Librewolf)
Marvoleath: I wonder how fast we'll here about the 'vibe coded' launcher being full of security holes
Marvoleath: hear*
eid010n: Wasn't the Steam update out as the main release before Epic's announcement, and it's just that Epic's testing the brag was based on was done like a month ago? Or did I get that mixed up.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Valve doesn't give a shit
TXC2: Marvoleath next week probably
TheMerricat:
The funny part is Valve doesn't have timelines for their beta -> production releases. They just do things 'when it's ready'
mtvcdm: "What is Epic doing" you don't even have to finish that sentence
Earthenone: maybe the vibe coded thing got data from their beta?
SocraticMethod: Tim Sweeney cares a lot about Valve, not sure about anyone else
mtvcdm: Epic is running NXT shows on the same day as AEW pay per views
TXC2: presumably it does it ENOUGH for it to be viable
wildpeaks: it would drop their user stats if they stopped, and their investors wouldn't be happy
TheMerricat: TBF Heather, the free games is the _only_ reason a lot of people keep the launcher installed so....
GhosteEye: it might if the launcher wasn't invasive and overall complete ass
LordZarano: "For you, the day you vibe coded a thing to be briefly faster than me was the greatest day of your life. For me it was Tuesday"
SocraticMethod: Release on Epic for Earlier Access, then to Steam for Early Access. Two hotdogs!
Earthenone: assigning morality to corperations is always a futile effort
ContingentCat: I've heard about walmart exclusives a few times
eid010n: Amazon Prime does that loss leader free games thing too, to a similar lack of results. At least those are sometimes GOG keys, which is DRM free and not nursing a weird grudge against Valve.
lamina5432: Steam could have a competitor the bar is pretty low but no other company wants to take the time of day and care for their customers
Marvoleath:
And then there is GOG, which is almost Customer first, then developers, then themselves
TXC2: Valve will stab you, then call an ambulance. Epic will stab you, then be angry that you got blood on their knife.
TheMerricat: Remember chat, when Google was 'the good guy' and claimed their motto was "Do no evil"?
HorusFive: That may be why a person starts a business. That is not the C-Suite incentive
Earthenone: the shareholder is the customer
southpawx7n: I love GOG.
SocraticMethod: Steam also has very entrenched customer base, it's really hard to budge them. Like GOG has better features for customers but still people ask "when Steam"
HorusFive: @Earthenone This. In a lot of cases it is neither the developer or end user
LordSeru:
Whichever LLM you used for vibe coding is your customer
eid010n: Both the store and the devs are theoretically interested in the customer, which should bring some degree of alignment rather than things being entirely antagonistic.
ArtDecoSunburn: Well, book stores have an interesting history of intellectual discourse. In the early modern idea, books were ideas, and dealing them could be dangerous.
TXC2: Libraries are a social good, that's why conservatives hate them
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat Long time gone. They're one of the major companies that has the least charitable giving.
LordZarano: Shout out to Itch too, for weird crap that couldn't be on any other store
wildpeaks:
oh wow 
SocraticMethod: Marketing is also hyper-targeted now. Some many comments about "They didn't market game X" but they weren't in the right segment. And with decline of TV there is no real broadcast of Ads anymore
wildpeaks: at least they're being honest about it instead of pushing it on their devs behind closed doors and NDAs
wildpeaks: (still a terrible idea though)
TXC2: SocraticMethod TV ads are all aimed at 50+ aged people
Juliamon: ah, the character.ai drama
ArtDecoSunburn: @SocraticMethod It's an interesting twist on "demographics are destiny" -- you get sold stuff based on how marketers lump you, and may miss out on stuff you actually like because you're the "wrong" demo.
Earthenone: finally, the sequel to epic mickey can come out!
TheMerricat: @Juliamon So... I don't think you meant for that to be a link, and because of that I'm sad that it turned out to be a valid one....
Juliamon: TheMerricat I did mean it to be a link, and they're going under
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, because that's a path to success -.-
Earthenone: maybe they wanted "created by ai" put on a functioning game
TXC2: "AI" being a top level domain is not ok really
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Big agree
Juliamon: TXC2 It's really useful for avoiding a lot of slop though!
SocraticMethod:
@TXC2 What do you have against Anguillans
TXC2: Juliamon the silver lining
eid010n: Given how much of an AI zealot Sweeney has become, there's a slim chance he might actually demand it be rebuilt with AI to try and prove a point.
TXC2:
SocraticMethod they know what they did
RockPusher: First calculator in VB? Nah, first Media Player!
wildpeaks: oh I have no doubt it's been pushed from the top by Sweeney
margieargie: Now Tuvalu, there's some great people
Decaped:
vibe coded codecs 
ArtDecoSunburn: @SocraticMethod The people of The Valley know what they did.
TheMerricat:
'safest'
RockPusher: That's what the package/module/crate repositories are meant to be
ArtDecoSunburn: @TXC2 Great minds think alike.
SocraticMethod:
'fastest' 
RockPusher: Now, as to how successful those ecosystems are…
RockPusher: Good work Beej Brain
SocraticMethod: Greg Walsh was the one who ported FISQ into Q3 engine
TXC2: this is why documentation matters!
ForOhForError: If it gets archived at all!
Decaped: reused cels like in old Disney movies.
SocraticMethod: Kahan and Ng were the one who published the original paper
RockPusher: TXC2 often there is no shortage of documentation. Getting people to *read* it however.
wildpeaks: hence the importance of making things modular, so useful bits can be re-used in later projects, and now AI is directly opposite to creating those well tested libraries
TheMerricat: Reminder that the source code for so many video games has been lost to time because video game companies didn't give a fig about preserving any of that, it was always "Get it out the door then start the next game"
TXC2: RockPusher true
Marvoleath:
As someone who worked as outsource QA with different teams of the same developer, I had many times made those teams aware about solutions their colleagues already used
SocraticMethod: Hyperspace cybernetic intelligence and juvenile delinquent John Carmack was attributed because he was most prolific writer at id software
TXC2: TheMerricat and are then opposed when someone else tries to preserve it
Decaped:
what if we trained the code making machine on only good code? 
LordZarano: All programming is calling libraries other people have written. Even if you're writing a bootloader in assembly, most of what you're doing is calling bios functions
SocraticMethod: We replaced copying answers from Stack Overflow with Claude
TheMerricat: @TXC2 Of course, because what if there is a diamond in that pile of code we don't care about! Maybe someone else might be able to use it!"
RockPusher: TXC2 sometimes I wonder, when people come ask me a question because I'm the person who knows stuff, is simply reading the documentation actually a super power?
gnyrinn: @SocraticMethod More like Using Claude to copy answers from Stack Overflow.
lamina5432: Its like internet searching has actually hurt some learning since you can just look it up. Not research to find the answer
Akaiatana: Beej is consulting his tangent table
ForOhForError: Oh I know those videos, they're very good. Wizardry with the N64 hardware (really, just taking advantage of all of it)
SocraticMethod: No, analog joystick would have 255 to 1024 possibilities
TXC2: RockPusher yes, I've "fixed" a person's heating by simply reading the instructions ON the boiler
Juliamon: RockPusher Absolutely
Juliamon: nobody else in my house is capable of changing the time on the weather station THAT HAS INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON IT
mtvcdm: People are gonna want to be lazy
wildpeaks: and important things with StackOverflow is more people chime in with feedback on taht piece of code, like "it might be the solution is most cases but not in this edge case"
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 When people come into veterinary appointments because they didn't follow instructions on medication, yeah
Juliamon: or figuring out how to open a mangosteen they got out of a bag WITH INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON IT
wildpeaks: or even people coming back to update their answers once they find out more about it
ForOhForError: Even without the externalities the tool will burn your hand
mtvcdm: No matter the field, a lot of people are going to look for the easy way out and they think AI is the easy way out, hey I get to do less work
TXC2: same way we don't Calculus to 6 year olds,
Thefluffiestguineapig: The amount of people in my field who aren't curious about the "why" of an animal's illness is alarming
SocraticMethod:
But can Geordie get a girlfriend without a computer
mtvcdm: My early school years were the tail end of looking stuff up in physical encyclopedias at the library and that never left me
TXC2:
SocraticMethod no, because Data is his wingman
LordZarano: We still teach kids basic mental arithmetic before teaching them how to use a calculator, right?
RockPusher: "People are everywhere." — Big if true!
TXC2:
LordZarano yes, but only to pass the test on it 
ForOhForError: I'm not convinced anyone knows everything ffmpeg does
Thefluffiestguineapig: When I tell people "my cat doesn't tolerate gabapentin" and explain what that means they get weirded out because they want simple answers and to follow a rigid path, and I really don't like that. I want to ask questions
mtvcdm: 'How do I do this?' 'Oh just hit this button.' '...okay, how do I ACTUALLY do this?'
Juliamon: yeah, I couldn't write CSS myself, but I'm capable of looking at it and understanding what it's doing, because I took the time to look at it instead of asking someone else to do it
RockPusher:
Earthenone:
smol language models?
SocraticMethod: @ForOhForError No, they do achieve enlightenment briefly, but the doors to Nirvana close before they need to use ffmpeg again. Truly the greatest samsara
Thefluffiestguineapig: Because THAT WAS WHAT THEIR POINT ORIGINALLY WAS and they are still worse than humans
gnyrinn: @TXC2 One of the quips that dwell within my skull at heavily subsidized rates is "I don't like the term Wingman. If your love life needs combat air support, something has already gone very wrong."
TXC2:
gnyrinn
ForOhForError: @SocraticMethod [ascending to a pure energy plane] 'wait it does broadcasts?' [falls back down]
LordZarano: One reason why I really like the Arch wiki, they have a rule to always use the full long version of command line options rather than the single letter shortcuts. Makes it MUCH easier to read
Earthenone: go look it up on your broken device

TXC2: if a system has more then like 5 error codes, you need to say what the error is in the message
Foxmar320: So many AI stories
Juliamon: Speaking of creating new things...
Thefluffiestguineapig: I recently talked someone through realizing the AI summary had told them a social media story was exaggerating something
RockPusher: Womp womp
wildpeaks: *screams internally*
TXC2: oh has the penny Finally bussing dropped?!!!
Thefluffiestguineapig: And they cancelled a bunch of projects
ForOhForError: "we will not survive without [throws dart]"
TXC2: "I want them all in ONE bag, but I don't want that bag to be HEAVY"
eid010n: No, they did that to stop paying people. Now the fewer people need to invent more IP in their less time, better than all the stuff they cancelled.
Thefluffiestguineapig: It's a "they aren't in a real people world" mindset
RockPusher: Honestly an NBA mindset would probably be more useful
TheMerricat: Chat does anyone else wonder if there is something in the water that the rich people are drinking? Like lead?
ForOhForError: @TheMerricat The money is the thing makes you go bonkers
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Like I said, they don't live in a real people world
RockPusher: "We're gonna drill the fundamentals and work as a team!"
Juliamon: TheMerricat I mean, they're picking up smoking again because "AI will cure lung cancer"
Thefluffiestguineapig: Genuinely I think they are insulated from real world
mtvcdm: Eventually you need to, release, a product that people want to purchase
SocraticMethod: And I would like an unicorn. I think both of us will be disappointed
TXC2: TheMerricat people don't tell them "no" enough, and it goes to their heads
ContingentCat: @Juliamon that's real I thought that was satire ffs
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon Young people are picking it up again because apparently nihilism
Marvoleath: @TheMerricat Sadly it's just surrounding yourself with sycophants instead of people who can argue with you
ForOhForError: But also literally probably yes, they're probably putting snake oil in their water :V
Thefluffiestguineapig: Mind is also real
kingandcommoner: "cannot rely on the past" \Tell that to Sega
ContingentCat: dog meme with No spend only profit
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Marvoleath That's why Bruce Willis doesn't know how email works
wildpeaks: @ContingentCat exactly
mtvcdm: You can't release stuff people want unless you, release stuff
ThanhtTheBoss: I'm so glad Campo Santo didn't get sucked up by XBox.
RockPusher: again, an NBA mindset would be more successful, sometimes you lose and that's okay
RatherLargeToad: if you want new IP, then you need develop more games faster since you don’t know what the public will go for
ANeMzero: Project Steam was the tactical 3DS game, Project Hammer was a cancelled Wii game
eid010n: They also need to only do the thing that makes the highest margin of money, they can't do any of the activities that make smaller margins. Support departments? That sounds like a non-profitable cost center, and should be closed for being communist.
mtvcdm: Coyote Vs. Acme turned a profit. Release it. Maybe you'll get pleasantly surprised.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @mtvcdm Also they want to only release guaranteed hits, but nostalgia is making people mad and they are terrified of new ideas
TXC2: RockPusher or an NHL mindset: "is only game, why you have to be mad?"
avjamethyst: I still play mario ddr at least once a year
Thefluffiestguineapig: Or you know get rid of the crunch mindset and don't make people hate their career
Laserbeaks_Fury: a narrower niche
Thefluffiestguineapig: yeah, do ONE THING INSTEAD OF ALL OF THEM
ContingentCat: @TXC2 yeah the hockey mindset of you lose 100% of the shots you don't take might be an improvement
RockPusher: Angel & Heather DDR stream when?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Angel you should join Heather on the house of lies at some point

ShaneLeeAtk: Love me some Lost Vikings
ForOhForError: They're in HotS
Thefluffiestguineapig: Blizzard owns so much shit
Decaped: I think Lost Vikings had a cameo in a recent WoW thing
SocraticMethod: @ANeMzero They are, and HotS is back
kingandcommoner: More Brutal Legend
TXC2: give me a new command and conquer game damnit!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner Jack Black would probably come back for that
Marvoleath:
@SocraticMethod it made more money than its cost? That used to mean success
RatherLargeToad: and it doesn’t need to cost hundreds of millions to make
Foxmar320: Beej sounds like me yelling at SEGA for more classic Sonic
ForOhForError: Well Double Fine managed to escape
SocraticMethod: @Marvoleath it _might_ have made mode money
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Or Or NEW IDEAS YOU DON'T MICROMANAGE
ContingentCat: they need to accept a good game won't make 173 trillion dollars in profit but it'll still make enough
SocraticMethod: *more money
TheMerricat:
@TXC2 Careful friend, that monkey paw has already curled up 4 of it's fingers... 
southpawx7n: Gimme an updated Blackthorne, baby!
Decaped:
The original creator of Lost Vikings should take back the copyright.
niccus: on gaming election news, this just in, violet over harrow in deadlock
eid010n: I remember liking Project Eden as a kid, which was like a 3D lost vikings set in a hive city
TXC2:
TheMerricat yeah 
Laserbeaks_Fury: They could totally make a new Lost Vikings as a 3 player co-op
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ok........
SocraticMethod: @Laserbeaks_Fury So, Trine?
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh lol, I guess Trine did that huh
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't like where this is going
ThanhtTheBoss: Will this affect ... Archipelago? Is she aware of that?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ThanhtTheBoss I fucking hope not, she'll try to buy it
TXC2: something something this can help archive old games?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Nope, we wish
TXC2: darn
kingandcommoner: in...stealing IPs?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Oh for fucks sake
Vinewood_OG: Aka cool idea, give us money for it
Izandai: Absolutely baffling statement.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Vinewood_OG The Roblocks solution

Vinewood_OG: Cash, Cash, Cash, Cash
mtvcdm: I'm having a shockingly hard time following this corporatespeak
BusTed: 💯
eid010n: A lot of the vibe coded "remixes" are extremely shonky, and a pale shadow of the older scene. I'm extremely concerned this is going to be hijacked to try and resurrect the godawful NFT game metaverse idea.
Earthenone: i prefer the seven C's myself
LilyOfTheVeil666: C is for Cookie
TheMerricat: @LoadingReadyRun "Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has attached four C's to the future of the brand--core, content, creation, connection"
TheMerricat: CORE: Strengthen our platform, led by console CONTENT: Grow great games into global franchises CREATION: Make Minecraft the world's creator platform CONNECTION: Extend the worlds that fans love
Thefluffiestguineapig: If it is only about analysis
TrivialEncounters: We play magic the gathering and it's becoming fortnite and I'm here for it
niccus: there's a real air that people are doing this just for clout
Vinewood_OG: I don't give Asha the Axe any good faith even when she says the thing you're supposed to say. I think of Creation Club vs Nexus Mods.
Thefluffiestguineapig: I really hope that is what the focus is
SocraticMethod: @Vinewood_OG Considering FFXIV modding scene, Creation Club wasn't even wrong
Thefluffiestguineapig: But I'm with TXC2 where I want the focus to be on archiving
eid010n: Recently someone critiqued a AI mashup of Descent with Doom, pointing out this had already been done to an infinitely higher standard pre-AI, and the AI stuff risks drowning out this better quality stuff.
Izandai: Right? What the hell was she trying to say there?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also the idea of "reducing the programmers hours coding" is SUCH A BAD FOCUS
margieargie:
Not quite the same, but sometimes I spend more time getting mods working than playing...
TheMerricat: AI built houses....
Vinewood_OG: Houses? In this economy, Beej!?
Izandai:
PAUL NO 
LordZarano: Definitely saw a video of someone running Oculus exclusives directly on a Steam Frame
Thefluffiestguineapig: PAUL no one can afford houses already
eid010n: Paul, don't give them ideas
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig to me it smacks of not wanting to pay devs overtime
FauksStarling: So many hallways to nowhere...
LordZarano:
Speaking XBOX, House House put out a statement explaining why Big Walk is on PC, Switch 2 & PS5 but NOT on XBOX https://bigwalk.game/xbox/
Vinewood_OG: HAL 9000 sets thermostat to flashpoint
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 Or wanting to not pay devs at all
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's my fear
TXC2: Thefluffiestguineapig oh indeed, but they'll do it in steps if they can
ThanhtTheBoss: I'm scared that Heather has a level of enemies that require artisanal revenge and what those revenges involve.
ForOhForError: I would live in the Blue Prince house with 46 rooms and 0-1 bathroom before living in an AI house
kingandcommoner: if it's one person it's a robbery, if it's multiple it's a heist
RockPusher: [Ievan Polkka Intensifies]
gnyrinn: "Well I say house. The AI only dug hole in t'ground. But it were house to us!"
Mai_Andra: crime friends to be gay with
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ThanhtTheBoss I'm in awe because I've seen Heather's planning abilities. I would love to see what that involves
TheMerricat: I'm going to be so pissed in a year when it's revealed that this was actually guerilla marketing by Rockstar.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TXC2 And it will (ideally) crumble
Vinewood_OG: Yeah, naur.

Thefluffiestguineapig: How bout NO
ThanhtTheBoss: @Thefluffiestguineapig Maybe she'll make an academy dedicated to teaching the art of well-planned vengeance.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ThanhtTheBoss I would attend that. I attend Heather's home streams already
SocraticMethod:
Related, new Justice track! Also featuring Tame Impala and KG&LW 
ANeMzero: Yeah the manifesto is more about convincing people to give them money, not to change the mind of a major corporation
RatherLargeToad: Secret project! Secret project! Through the meme coin! Secret, secret, secret, secret project! …yeah
ContingentCat: commandment language is a great way to get taken seriously
Thefluffiestguineapig: These people are possibly insiders
Vinewood_OG: Bjork, is this true?
mtvcdm: !advice
LRRbot: Destroy gender.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @ContingentCat ........yup
Thefluffiestguineapig: !badadvice
LRRbot: Use your Meat Magic.
Izandai: They're either 16 year olds or they're pandering to 16 year olds.
Decaped: the bible is just a meme now. downgraded.
RatherLargeToad: Thou shalt not covet thy gamer’s horse armor
ContingentCat: @Izandai or haven't matured since 16, I've unfortunately met plenty of those
Vinewood_OG: Even grifters have a PR team at this point
mtvcdm: Of course you're comparing yourself to the Bible, you're 12
gnyrinn: @Izandai It could be both. Let's hope it's both.
TXC2: lrrbot wants us to use meat magic to destroy gender?
Izandai: @ContingentCat Yeah, spiritually still 16 counts here.
CaptainSpam: "I have a COMPUTER, so thou shalt call me GOD!"
Juliamon: "It's not a rug pull, we told you it would crash"
Vinewood_OG: uh huhhhh
TXC2: less of a rug pull, more of a towel
Izandai: Yeah, crypto projects are often intended as a way to get people to "donate" money to the creator(s).
CaptainSpam: Dark, but that could be a Crap Shot...
GhosteEye: when the hostage is a billionaire it kinda loses its effect
niccus: then you're the grinch
Izandai: If you tell people it's gonna crash and then it doesn't, and then after a beat it does for no obvious reason, you're both a better comedian and a better magician.
Thefluffiestguineapig: I don't respect it without the follow through especially with the "oh, it will ruin it for Rockstar"
eid010n: It does rather raise the question why not simply run a fundraiser, and not set up a memecoin to not-rugpull, if not to hopefully draw extra cash from the unwitting who think it is an investment?
Vinewood_OG: Beej says "Shoot the hostage"
ContingentCat: the ol' put up or shut up
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!)
Izandai: @eid010n Well, anonymity to avoid legal consequences.
wildpeaks: at this point, it's acting like an ad for the game
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's why it reads as an insider to me
wildpeaks: the leaks I mean
wildpeaks: ohno
TXC2: yes, everyone (eyes 1050 ti nervously)
Izandai: Well the reason they cost that much is they're being bought by people building data centes.
hyalopterous: More money than sense
wildpeaks: and they're the ones that would burn up their power cables
TXC2: if I spend 10K on a GPU, I better be able to drive it work
TXC2: and back
eid010n: @Izandai Do you really get much more anonymity compared to just having people pay you in crypto, though?
EikoandMog: If my 3070 dies, I have no idea what I'm gonna do.
mtvcdm: The data center people are like WE WILL PAY ANY PRICE and the GPU people are like, did you say *any* price
TXC2: EikoandMog same
ShaneLeeAtk: And B300
GhosteEye:
that price for the 5090 has a hidden premium... an insurance premium in case your house burns down
Marvoleath:
$10k? I could buy most of a canlander deck with that
CaptainSpam:
I'm sure not buying a house with $1M here...
mtvcdm: Area Man
RockPusher:
Yuri-less Yuri
Thefluffiestguineapig: With $10k I could pay off my credit card debt, and put some into school loans
wildpeaks: oh I definitely want to watch this anime
RockPusher: It is actually fun
hyalopterous: And our boy Adam
ForOhForError: @wildpeaks It's good!
TXC2: Local man Seabats
Izandai: I am slightly disappointed you used that image of Adam posing and not the one of him doing Marisa's victory pose.
ForOhForError: It's pro players doing the games they use footage from
Izandai: Oh yeah no they just insert actual Street Fighter footage, it's very weird but also kinda hilarious.
ForOhForError: iirc
TXC2: that's footsies baby
Izandai: Talking Is A Free Action
RockPusher: So smol, so much salt
TXC2: talking for doyalist reasons, but not wotsonian
FauksStarling: Wait, is this kind of just Oki Oki Anime Club?
SocraticMethod: Funnily all the Street Fighter stuff is anime and live action exclusive. Manga has generic fighting game
Izandai: "Ah, you know ball."
kingandcommoner: Remember kids: Don't slam your fight-stick into your forehead
Marvoleath: Adam X Beej anime analysis when?
TXC2: RockPusher strong "you're trapped in here with me!" energy
ForOhForError: @kingandcommoner what if I really need to focus up though /s
Izandai: I don't know if Adam's seen Young Ladies.
TXC2: !infil
kingandcommoner: @ForOhForError Chew some gum and rub your temples
TXC2: we made that command for this reason
Earthenone:
adam x beej anime analysis will be a bit in roadquest 2
Mr_Horrible: it helps couch the moment in context, yeah. You won't necessarily retain it, but it gives you as a viewer/reader a frame of reference in the moment
Izandai:
Earthenone: we need more turts
RockPusher:
I am pleased that that is a Hosk-level edit
mtvcdm: "18 Famous Turtle Cartoon Characters, Ranked"
kingandcommoner: but you do get an image of Guile fighting Raphael
Izandai: fuck
Laserbeaks_Fury: For me it was a Tuesday
Izandai: Oh it worked, nice.
RatherLargeToad: some are born to sing the blues
kingandcommoner: Parallel rivalries
Mr_Horrible: yeah, punctuation broke the link, but image plugin should still be able to parse the string
Izandai: Aah
Izandai: That's handy.
Izandai: Or rather... Nifty.
TXC2: link worked in chatty, but not twitch
hyalopterous: I've hit that a couple times
EikoandMog: LETS GO ADAM
kingandcommoner: Savage Dan himself
BusTed:
Mr_Horrible:
Seabats the Mayor
Invitare: Does SF6 player Seabats live in Victoria or something?
TXC2: it was 5-3
RockPusher:
Many proud trogs 
Izandai: Because every person in his team slot above him passed.
Thefluffiestguineapig: Well shows them
TXC2: he won the tiebreaker
Earthenone: you wouldent download an adam
ContingentCat: He did win the win that's big
TXC2: Earthenone Bus yes I would
mtvcdm: Adam was given the ball for the final play
Thefluffiestguineapig: No, that whole team seemed like they whipped
gnyrinn: He Schmeichel'ed it? Good for Adam!
RockPusher: mtvcdm good analogy
Foxmar320: I love the clip of Adam towering over everyone
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Foxmar320 Apparently the announcers interviewing him were also very amused by how tall he is
Earthenone: adam, the bigger streamer simplay ate the smaller streamers
Marvoleath: but wasnt Adam the biggest streamer?
TXC2: Foxmar320 great photo of the group
RatherLargeToad: He is the larger streamer
Izandai: I dunno, I think there were more trogs in Twitch chat than any other community.
TXC2: !homestreams
LRRbot: Crew homestreams: Adam: twitch.tv/seabats | Alex: twitch.tv/alexsteacy | Ben Ulmer: twitch.tv/bengineering | Cameron: twitch.tv/unarmedoracle | Cori and Ian: twitch.tv/tiltyhouse | Heather: twitch.tv/LunarJade | James: twitch.tv/James_LRR | Kathleen: twitch.tv/BraveNewFaves | Matt Wiggins: twitch.tv/wiggins | Nelson: twitch.tv/coachnelly | Serge: twitch.tv/sergeyager , twitch.tv/sergeafterdark | Wheeler: twitch.tv/benjamin_wheeler
eid010n: Adam is indeed very tall
TXC2: Izandai really seemed like watching the vod
mtvcdm: Local man could simply eat the smaller streamers, so be sure to dress warm
hyalopterous: Adam was the physically largest streamer. Olivier Richters was the largest guy
ContingentCat: around the other tall people at LRR it
Earthenone:
zangeif was a false positive?
ContingentCat: *it's easy to forget how tall he is
hyalopterous: He's as big as Zangief
Foxmar320: lol
EikoandMog: Why does Adam, the largest competitor, not simply eat the rest?
RockPusher: There is large and then there is LORGE!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Turns out that wrestlers: also very tall
Invitare: isn't that how LRR started?
TXC2: Adam said he only feels tall when in America
Earthenone:
we need a picture of adam looking up to someone
Izandai: We all wanted to see Adam standing next to Richters but alas it didn't happen.
DoodlestheGreat: @TXC2 Well, my country is fulla very small-minded people.
Mr_Horrible: it's got the extra "i" so I think the fancy pronunciation, yeah
Mai_Andra: I think he's 7' 2"
itira: If we are talking about the guy who played Zangeif, hes like over 7 foot
ContingentCat: He was talking about that earlier during oki
TXC2: DoodlestheGreat ha, yeah
Izandai: Yeah no one else was as obsessed with his size as Adam.
TXC2: itira we are
itira: Hows your neck, Heather XD
Mr_Horrible:
it's all 
after a certain height
Foxmar320: Yeah I think Adam is like 6,7?
Thefluffiestguineapig: I'm 5'0", so being tall to me you've gotta be VERY TALL to impress me
EikoandMog: I'm just slightly taller than normal and I felt like a GIANT in Japan.
Vinewood_OG: Just stand further away
TXC2: Foxmar320 6ft5
Foxmar320: @TXC2 I was close
itira: yes i recall Adam being 6'5
RockPusher: Also big can be subtly different than merely tall
Mr_Horrible: @Vinewood_OG the Sajam Strat
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Vinewood_OG Oh yeah? How far away would you suggest I stand?
Izandai: I think the shortest person in the tourney was playing Zangief, and when Richters was being interviewed she came up to say hi, and the size difference was hilarious.
FauksStarling: Lower center of gravity, harder to knock down.
Vinewood_OG: @Thefluffiestguineapig The moon
TXC2: yeah, when someone is tall AND wide, that hits differernt
accountmadeforants: @Izandai Yeah Deku was
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Vinewood_OG My other strat is ride horses
Earthenone: umazing plan
Thefluffiestguineapig: That's an amazing clip title
LordZarano: F-Zero GX is still one of my favourite games ever, I have it on my phone
Mr_Horrible: interesting, like the one easter egg startup noise
roryracekar: hello how are you
TheAinMAP: @Thefluffiestguineapig Oh thank you.
Laserbeaks_Fury: They're stored in the trunk of that car you can see from the SS Anne
TXC2: right chat I'm off
roryracekar: paul you look and have the same mannerisms as my friend gary
Mr_Horrible: 'night txc2
Izandai: @accountmadeforants Yeah I think she was the smallest person there, not sure.
RockPusher: 'night TXC2
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather,Paul and Beej
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sleep well TXC2
LordZarano: F-Zero GX looks very good on OLED
accountmadeforants: Incidentally, I think my message earlier didn't go through, but Beej, Olivier is pronounced Oh - Lee - Vee - R
eid010n: The bonkers sci-fi racer genre was great, I'd love a modern F-Zero. I don't know if I trust Sony not to botch Wipeout somehow at the moment.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @eid010n The new SW racer turned out well it seems
Thefluffiestguineapig: But I don't think that was Sony
accountmadeforants:
@Izandai Yeah pretty sure she was, she was at the front of the group shot 
SocraticMethod: The Notorious E.S.A.
eid010n: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yeah, isn't it a new studio formed by racing game vets?
Izandai:
@accountmadeforants 
Thefluffiestguineapig: @eid010n Mostly former Burnout devs yes
Thefluffiestguineapig: How is this more important than so many other black markets?
MTigress: several of the plug&play things are licensed from Capcom
Thefluffiestguineapig: @MTigress ^This
Mai_Andra: ♫ All about that... super fakes super fakes~ ♫
Thefluffiestguineapig: I smell a bribe here, someone seems to have a vested interest
Mr_Horrible: "Where can I find these so I can tell everyone to stay away?"
kingandcommoner: Technical Friction should be the name of an Esports team
LordZarano: AYN Thor
Thefluffiestguineapig: @kingandcommoner Or a romantasy book
accountmadeforants: The Ars comments is how I find out that despite claiming they don't themselves sell the devices with ROMs preloaded (and that it's all resellers), Anbernic lets you choose between getting either one microSD card (64 GB) or two (64+64 ,64+128, 64+256), and that second microSD card is definitely full of pirated ROMs
BraveOthello: @Thefluffiestguineapig Doubt it, this seems like textbook ESA being the "bad guy" so their members don't have to
accountmadeforants: Yeah flash carts is how I got to play the Ouendan games on my DS Lite
kingandcommoner: Lack of Availability is the primary cause of Piracy
EikoandMog: I had an R4 for exactly the same reason. Australia did NOT have good access to JRPGs that released in America.
LordZarano: Those devices can even run full SteamOS with a desktop and all your Steam games and everything, as an app now, thanks to Droid Deck
DigitalSeahorse: I have a card that theoretically could connect to the internet with a browser but I never figured out how to get that part to work
Izandai: @kingandcommoner Eeeeeh
DigitalSeahorse: on my DS*
DigitalSeahorse: for*
Izandai: Beej please stop flipping us off.
EikoandMog: If you homebrew a 3DS or Vita, there's homebrew that directly downloads games like it's a storefront.
accountmadeforants:
Yeah I've definitely been tempted when seeing the dual-screen ones. Though I kinda wish they'd gone the full mile and added in a 3D screen for 3DS emulation
EikoandMog: I have an Anbernic one and man, that thing is actually really good.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @BraveOthello With this administration I always have doubts
wildpeaks: cool technology
eid010n: The dual-screen things are extremely good for running whatever game on one screen, while the second can have a web browser or something up if you want to check out guides or similar
DigitalSeahorse: Beej is actually flipping off that loud mouth opinion haver on one of my bus rides today that was bad mouthing a bunch of people
SocraticMethod:

Thefluffiestguineapig: Is this the only region locked one?
DigitalSeahorse:
MTigress: console manufacturers should just start selling kits that have masking tape and paint
Thefluffiestguineapig: I will not make any political comments
Thefluffiestguineapig: @MTigress Do you know how much that stupid tape would cost?
accountmadeforants:
I just checked (i still have it) and my DS flash cart was a "Ninjapass X9" with a combination rumble+memory pack for the GBA port
Thefluffiestguineapig: I will just say I dislike being American
SocraticMethod: Because it's dual use, it ran afoul of ITAR.
kingandcommoner: If you want it in English, pay the Gaijin tax
SocraticMethod: (dual use being PS4 and PS5)
MTigress: @Thefluffiestguineapig yes. $399.99
bytecaster: It still looks like Seto Kaiba
