Bruceski: Knowing nothing about the game and just going off the name I figure this is either going to be a trainwreck or a hidden gem with no middle ground.
Invitare: they played it last week
SaxPython: @Bruceski this is part 2, but also yes
Bruceski: Oh. Well then.
NotCainNorAbel:
Invitare: music still playing
Gadora: Still have the intro music going.
jacqui_lantern234:

Asrimal: bgm still playing?

jacqui_lantern234:

(jk, you absolutely can)
Lysander_salamander: I missed last episode
Lysander_salamander: Is this a good game?
Juliamon: It's a weird game

Hi friends!

gameslayer013: oh sweet
Juliamon: Whether it's good depends on how you vibe with it
jacqui_lantern234:
yay crows!!! 
Juliamon: (Heather did not really vibe with it)
Lysander_salamander: Sort of like Hi Fi Rush, then?
NotCainNorAbel: rat donut
Juliamon: yeah I also compared it to a side-scrolling Hi-Fi Rush
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
Lysander_salamander: Sisyphus stuff I suppose
Juliamon: We also have fought rats whose brains explode and they turn into monsters, and then their brains unexplode and they're zonked-out rats
Juliamon: so CW body horror/animal abuse
Lysander_salamander: cool
Lysander_salamander: oh cool, a breakdance mode
adept_nekomancer: I do really like the gameplay concept they're going for. The choice of story/content; not as much.
RandomTrivia: Oops
TehAmelie: the timer is a a little faster than one tick per second, right? or am my brain slow
Juliamon: The timer is synced to the music
Lysander_salamander: sort of a more forgiving Sands of Time?
jacqui_lantern234: ooh, the rewind kinda reminds me a bit of Braid
TehAmelie: world's most unethical scientists here
Lysander_salamander: I forgot about that website
QuixoticScrivener: this game seems stressful
Juliamon: It can be made less stressful by choosing the no-timer mode
Juliamon: but there still is an element of precision platforming
Dog_of_Myth: Just got here, miss anything?
Juliamon: Some rat graffiti
CururuGuasu:
adept_nekomancer: Gratffiti
Juliamon: (it sure had BETTER be coming)
gameslayer013:
!!
Bruceski: I like the heart positioned as co-commentator
TehAmelie: i wonder how much of this is Rat hallucinating while he dies
adept_nekomancer: Is this racism? Rat racism? Ratcism?
Invitare: so the rat DOES care
Invitare: because it could care less
TehAmelie: always listen to your vassal lord and do what he says?
Lysander_salamander: I've never tried the Rayman Legends game, except for a demo which played one of the music levels. I wonder if the rest of the game is good.
ComradeMik: i'm hitting a groove is an immediate curse for rhythm games
couchboyj: Sometimes, you hit th e grooze, sometimes, the groove hits you.
Lysander_salamander: voicing yourself noticing you're in the groove brings you out of the groove? Like a variation on the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
Anubis169:
'lo Ian! 
Anubis169: oooo, what's this delight of a game?
Lysander_salamander: yay it's Anubis!
iris_of_ether:
Juliamon: That went better than I thought it would!
Anubis169: Rank: Eyy!
TehAmelie: there's cheese at the end of that tunnel, this we know for certain
adept_nekomancer: A bit that 2 S's and an A doesn't average out to S.
Anubis169: Lies!
Anubis169: Lies and statistics!

Lysander_salamander:
That's why there's the cohost usually.
Bruceski: Rat ghosta. Roasts.
Anubis169: curses definitely stack
Juliamon: I would assume curses to stack exponentially
iris_of_ether: The board game The Seventh Continent tells us that curses are cummulative
TehAmelie: first we'll have to find a curse that works. . .
adept_nekomancer: I mean, is the curse repeatable? That's kind of a prerequisite for curse science.
Anubis169: however, opposing curses may either cancel out, or interact in weird ways
Anubis169:
I've heard you off-camera 
silenceaux: If they self-propagate, are they recursive?
Lysander_salamander: nice
Juliamon: This is a suspiciously tame stage start...
TehAmelie: i took a class on cursing but it was cursive
Lysander_salamander: oh like those dreams where you're being chased, but it feels like no matter how hard you try to run you keep moving slower?
TehAmelie: i think it was the ancient Incans who had sewers and plumbing?
Bruceski: Anyone else see Shantae dancing to this music?
Juliamon: If it works it works!
Lysander_salamander: a Shantae crossover with this wouldn't be too weird. She's already got zombie friends
Juliamon: yeah I could see a Rottytops spinoff like this
Lysander_salamander: This level seems a bit trollish
Anubis169: REDO
silenceaux: fool me three times, rule of comedy
Anubis169: Hit it a 9th and you can replace your Prime Minister
TehAmelie: no one would expect them to do the same trap a FOURTH time
v_nome: I regret to inform you you've been appointed to office.
Anubis169: LOL
Anubis169: because this tune is banging
adept_nekomancer: I think that happens when your combo gets high-ish?
Bruceski: Pumping is the most normal thing that heart has done
Anubis169: LOL
Anubis169: good point
Anubis169:
Anubis169: cheese!
Lysander_salamander:
Anubis169: I hear Mortal Kombat instrumentals!
adept_nekomancer: Ghosts installed successfully
Lysander_salamander: Have you fought a rat-king yet?
AveryCorvus: Can a person be cursed to be haunted?
Lysander_salamander: aha
Juliamon: That's a very neat rat king design
couchboyj: The 90s TMNT cartoon secerly under prepared me for the horror of a rat king
Lysander_salamander: Yeah it's a cool design with some neat colors
Anubis169: lol
Anubis169: that's a great boss!
Lysander_salamander: I only learned about rat-kings from Prattchett's "Amazing Maurice" book. Maybe Planescape Torment, though that one is more abstracted.
TehAmelie: i think i learned of rat kings from Neverwhere, where rats rule London Below

Thanks for subscribing, evershiner! (Today's storm count: 24)
Lysander_salamander: tricky
TehAmelie: did your heart make a car horn noise when you couldn't rewind any more?
RealGamerCow: This seems like too much going on
TehAmelie: well, we seem to have progressed past rat king to elder rat god
tdfox12: hi everyone and hi fellow Canadian
Thefluffiestguineapig: Got here late, are without the stabilizing influence of Heather?
Juliamon: yes, Heather is busy and Ian is actually doing quite well!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tehamelie My heart doesn’t make a horn noise but a couple of my joints do
Thefluffiestguineapig: @juliamon Oh he has intense gaming skills, I was more meaning the stabilizing influence for when his mouth outpaces his sense
RealGamerCow: This song is what, 140 bpm?
TehAmelie: i knew there was a medical joke in there somewhere
adept_nekomancer: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yep -- it's just Ian versus the rat king ghost
TehAmelie: chat and Ian can only enable each other
Anubis169: Well done!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also I thought I was caught up, is this just farther into the sewer level?
tdfox12: gg
Bruceski: We're BAC baby!
Dog_of_Myth:
Juliamon: Good Enough!
Lysander_salamander: break for air?
Thefluffiestguineapig: B’s get degrees
Lysander_salamander: Heart, don't gaslight
TehAmelie: nah i think we're full on Jacob's LAdder
Thefluffiestguineapig: Dude, please don’t yell at the ghost
Thefluffiestguineapig: The heart is gaslighting, the mob rats were gas lighting
Juliamon: I think Heart genuinely didn't see them
calgaming2283: i just got here what is hapening
Thefluffiestguineapig: If you don’t want us to go wher the ghosts are then tell us where to avoid!!!!!
Juliamon: We're trying to get revenge on a human
Thefluffiestguineapig: Now we engage with the questions that progressed the reformation 🤣
Anubis169:
Juliamon: rab lats
Lysander_salamander: Rat god is kind of cute. I hope this game has fan-art
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hi Jacob and Cori!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @lysander_salamander If it didn’t before, that’s what Can’t Draw Horses Club is for
Lysander_salamander:
Juliamon:
I would guess it's a 
TehAmelie: i got a feeling we've killed more rats for our revenge than the human has
RealGamerCow: Fun rat fact: I had to drive 8 hours to fix a server that did temperature control on freezers because the frozen lab rats inside were worth $1000 each.
Dog_of_Myth:
Lysander_salamander: agonizing decision
ghizmou: what is morality to a rat
Anubis169: PREACH IT
HorusFive: Big mood
Thefluffiestguineapig: @realgamercow Yeah, controlling all those biological variables is hard
Juliamon: !addquote (Ian) [now] SPEAK TRUTH, RAT GOD!
LRRbot: New quote #8946: "SPEAK TRUTH, RAT GOD!" —Ian [2024-03-17]
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yea, living is exhausting
Lysander_salamander: strange that it's slightly out of reach
Thefluffiestguineapig: Juliamon with the lightening quote add
TehAmelie: the cheese looks hyperreal
Thefluffiestguineapig: Next?????
Thefluffiestguineapig: I thought we only got one goal????
Juliamon: I think she means subgoals for our one goal
Lysander_salamander: breaking down what seems like an impossible goal into smaller easier to manage goals?
adept_nekomancer: Combo at 100+ though!
Lysander_salamander: now, dubstep
TehAmelie: heart got really pumped when we got there
TehAmelie: i wonder if the heart can work itself into a heart attack
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tehamelie I’m torn about whether the last challenge will be fighting the rat god revealed as an avatar of some@horrible experiment or the heart
adept_nekomancer: The combo mechanism is interesting in that it encourages taking game actions, even if they aren't the "correct" one.
TehAmelie: just like dancing, the important part is just keeping the beat
Juliamon: yeah, it's very "don't worry about being perfect, just keep going"
Juliamon: That's ASS baby!
ghizmou: perfection
Juliamon: !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 (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also a “whatever works for you” vibe
Anubis169: Thank you!!
TehAmelie: ah, looking at things outside the window for a while was nice
calgaming2283: looking forward to lets nope
TehAmelie: we must learn to space jump, into space
Juliamon: I wonder if it can only see Rat
calgaming2283: you need to do the super mario 64 glich

TehAmelie: this song is called Stilton, which seems like a far too fancy cheese for our palate
TehAmelie: but what kind of cheese is the moon? i'm thinking brie
TehAmelie: everyone's second favorite cheese
Juliamon: The moon has to be a harder cheese
TehAmelie: a core dense with critical mass of cheddar?
SquareDotCube: but you need blue milk to make blue cheese
calgaming2283: how do we find surface area of cheeze moon
couchboyj: Get in the Rat Zombie, Shinji
Juliamon: I think that's a bonnet
TehAmelie: maybe we'll get lucky and the human will choke on one of those giant horse pills

Thanks for subscribing, hideki101! (Today's storm count: 26)
Thefluffiestguineapig: You find the surface area of the giant cheese moon in one of two ways: the boring pixel measurement way, or consult the Wallace and Grommet animated short
Dog_of_Myth:
TehAmelie: two times Pi times radius squared, or something along those lines isn't it? we just have to find out how rad the cheese moon is
TehAmelie: or how thicc
LordZarano: "[eating the moon]
LordZarano: Wallace: It's like no cheese I've ever tasted... let's try another spot!"
Dog_of_Myth: Well, if the moon is made of cheese and we all know that the moon is haunted, what type of cheese is the moon made of?
princess_intell: !uptime
LRRbot: The stream has been live for 1:26:58.
TehAmelie: blue cheese, the cheese with the most ghosts
calgaming2283: what kind of cheese
princess_intell: time to chill out and cut out some mtg tokens
princess_intell: @LoadingReadyRun checkpoint comes out every Thursday, not Sunday
couchboyj: Psychedelic Cactus Birds of Doom is my new band name
Juliamon: yeah I think you just rewind any time you fall because it just takes way longer to get back there
50keyz: does rewind rewind the timer?
Juliamon: it doesn't
50keyz: insidious but fair
calgaming2283: they need to add a practice mode
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hey, at least it makes sense and you don’t need a walkthrough to even sort of know maybe what to do
TehAmelie: i've never watched How Stella Got her Groove Back, but i'm sure it would be inspiring here
Thefluffiestguineapig: Also I will say watching this kind of frustration is so much nicer than the first game I came in on which was Mozart
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah Mozart was a hell of a way to come into the Cafe
calgaming2283: when will you guys play the new goat simulator
Thefluffiestguineapig: @calgaming2283 Check the schedule to see if it’s on there, they might not
calgaming2283: ok that sounds fun
couchboyj: I'd play a game about a dancing goat
Thefluffiestguineapig: Dude the new Goat sim with different rhythm games as an option for how to get new hats/powers? I would be down for that
izzynater06: How many tries have there been?
Juliamon: We aren't counting
Thefluffiestguineapig: @izzynater06 This is complete restart 3
Thefluffiestguineapig: Sorry Juliamon, should have let you set the tone there
Anubis169: 'an amount'
calgaming2283: you need to grt gud
calgaming2283: get
Thefluffiestguineapig: The hit boxes on those cacti are so big
Anubis169: and it keeps getting more awesome every single attempt!
TehAmelie: nothing good ever comes out of a falling cactus
Anubis169: are the controls really that janky?
Thefluffiestguineapig: Hm, could you reach the second level with the double jump when the cheese platform is dark? Then you’re on firm ground and more dodging the platform appearing
CururuGuasu: would the charged dashes let you pause in mid air enough to make some of those?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @tehamelie For sure
Juliamon: Anubis169 They are real janky if you don't stay perfectly on beat
Thefluffiestguineapig: Projectile cacti are never a good idea
Anubis169: it looks it
Juliamon: they want you to stay on combo
niccus: do you keep an airdash if you dash off a platform
Juliamon: I want to look up a speedrun after this
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is the first level where not being on combo/doing the correct thing means death
Thefluffiestguineapig: It really counters that thing the chat was saying was a good feel part of this game
50keyz: that was s good groove
Thefluffiestguineapig: You’re getting to the falling cacti with more and more time to spare
calgaming2283:
look what i erned
Anubis169:
Fellow muffin user!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Welcome to the muffin club!
calgaming2283: muffin
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ian’s frustration is turning into swing beat sequences
Juliamon: we're just dead here
Thefluffiestguineapig: This is balanced on a knife’s edge
NotCainNorAbel: I believe in Ian! I also think you can do it.
Mollylele: this game is as visually punishing as anything
Mollylele: just aesthetically brutal
NotCainNorAbel:
500 - good try
Thefluffiestguineapig: So close!!!
Thefluffiestguineapig: Yeah, also I think taking a break till next week will help
Thefluffiestguineapig: @mollylele Yeah, their first stream they talked about how the artistic style is not to their taste and I agree
iris_of_ether: Oooh looking forward to arts
Thefluffiestguineapig: The art is very disjointed
Thefluffiestguineapig: I’m so excited for Party Animals
Juliamon: Serge said this might be his last ...One More?
Juliamon: (because of upcoming move)
PMAvers: I just imagined a Tau doing the bronze podium meme thing with the bottle
Thefluffiestguineapig:
thanks for the fun stream!! 
loufghyslaufey: @Juliamon "...One More!?": The Movie!?
GapFiller: Juliamon oooh hes (soon to be) back in BC
