beowuuf:
i had to do gapfiller's dreaded double refresh 
TXC2: beowuuf yikes
GapFiller: only ever had to double refresh once oddly enough
GapFiller: call it luck eh
beowuuf:
it was such a crappy thing to have to do it stuck with me 
Earthenone: this was my first no refresh in a couple weeks
TXC2: although it is reassuring that it's not a me or my firefox problem
Mai_Andra: ♫
beowuuf: !rq
TXC2:
damn I'm gonna have to rewatch road Quest AGAIN aren't I?
beowuuf: tis the season (note that's anytime, any time is the season)
TXC2:
I think it's the 5 year anniversary this year
ExachixKitsune: @TXC2 : oof
TXC2: ExachixKitsune right
ExachixKitsune: Time Marches On
TXC2:
ExachixKitsune it's sprinting at this point
TheMerricat: Jesus... was Road Quest really 5 years ago? I feel like it was just last year I was getting giddy over catching it ive.
TheMerricat: live
TehAmelie: good good friday to those who celebrate eh
beowuuf: may 2018 filming, right? maybe oct 2019 air?
TXC2: beowuuf I think it aired after DB
beowuuf: themerricat, you changed your clour and now up is down, black is white, and i don#t know who i am anymore
ExachixKitsune: yeah, I recall the roadquest finale Q&A was a few weeks before big lockdown
beowuuf: makes sence
TheMerricat:
beowuuf: *sense
ExachixKitsune: @TXC2: someone should pull over time for speeding

Thanks for subscribing, ManicPixieDreamLurker! (Today's storm count: 18)
TXC2: ExachixKitsune indeed
TehAmelie: or maybe you're not supposed to celebrate it. here we call the day "long friday", when you're supposed to be so miserable it feels like the day never ends
TheMerricat: I know for a fact at least one of the episodes aired in January of a year.
TXC2: TODAY!
beowuuf: today!
GapFiller: Blip!
beowuuf: indeed
BusTed:
GapFiller: that IS good yes

Mollylele: hi Heather & friends
TXC2: Hello Mollylele
beowuuf: easter at the start of ap[ril should be banned, it's too weird
mtvcdm: Yeah, we tried to get some stuff done at city hall today and turned out it was closed.
TheMerricat: And ho boy, this has been a March.. at least for me.
GapFiller:
Jesus (as played by Bill Hicks): are they still all wearing crosses? 
that I'm not going down there... get the bunny suit.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Thats just time's jokes on us all
ExachixKitsune: It is nice that they put easter on Trans Day of Visibility: means we can have double egg-hunt
Mai_Andra: march 2020 will never end...
beowuuf:
@ExachixKitsune 
ExachixKitsune: (I stole that joke from tumblr)
TXC2: good means holy, as in the good book
Amentur: Roaming Christian holidays. Ramadan moves around a lot
incslayer: this is the second earliest easter can happen but it wont happen on the earliest possible time until 2285
Mollylele: "gottem friday"
beowuuf: good ridance friday, followed by 'oh no' monday
Ivalenz_:
TheMerricat: "The reason why Good Friday is called "good" is not entirely clear. One common explanation is that the word "good" originally meant "holy" in Old English, so "Good Friday" could be synonymous with "Holy Friday" or "God's Friday.""
CaptainSpam: Yeah, but then there's Cyber Good Monday.
Mai_Andra: it's "Good" because of what the sacrifice means for humanity.
mtvcdm: Only two days until Pagan Sex Holiday Why Do You Think Rabbits And Eggs Are Symbols Of It
Mai_Andra: Beej, no... =o
Laserbeaks_Fury: The Son Also Rises
beowuuf: get mr tumnus and the harness
Amentur: In German it's Karfreitag. Kar being old-German for lament and sorrow.
Mollylele: does it make more sense than a bunny hiding eggs from children
GapFiller: or we know yr just dont care what we say Beej
TXC2: remember: Jesus did NOT die for YOUR sins, Jesus died for the ORIGINAL sin
EvilBadman: The elf has vacated the shelf, go hog wild
TehAmelie: Good Friday, The Purge, potato, tomato
beowuuf: the egss represent god's love, the bunny god's ineffable wisdom, and ythe children are all of us
Mai_Andra: That's the secret. The "clones" are actually just Paul's brothers.
Dread_Pirate_Westley: @TXC2 I didn't commit the original sin, so what did Jesus ever do for me, then?
Mollylele: the cutoff date is in October
TheMerricat:
@beowuuf I've read Sluggy Freelance, Bun Bun is an ass. 
beowuuf: @TXC2 we now look to indie gaming for new exciting sins, rather than the usual rehashed sins AAA gives us
Mollylele: oooh spotify purge
TXC2: Dread_Pirate_Westley tell you the correct response to people operating a market in the temple
TXC2: (it's whipping them BTW)
Laserbeaks_Fury: Algorithm Lent
EvilBadman: @dread_pirate_westley multiple holidays in countries claiming church and state separation
Brozard: They have a "private session" too
beowuuf: temple vendor asked jesus is pepsi was ok
Dread_Pirate_Westley: I don't need a messiah to tell me to injure the capitalists.
mtvcdm: So, Brave New Faves
TXC2: Dread_Pirate_Westley true, but it's important to remember that he did
beowuuf: beat the rich then yeet the rich then each the rich then eggs!
Laserbeaks_Fury: Speaking of confusing AIs...
TehAmelie: i thought it was a really weird story even the first time i heard it. "you're all sinners because of something you didn't do, but Adam and Eve did. but now you're all forgiven!"
mtvcdm: LoadingReadyRun: When In Doubt, Horses Are Funny
TXC2:
Checkpoint is the only sinless one among us 
GapFiller: mtvcdm is that why we cant draw them
beowuuf: checkpoint gets to cast the first stone
TXC2: TehAmelie oh indeed, it's buck wild
Mai_Andra: Stellar Blade demo is actually out for real today.
Amentur: The demo released a couple hours ago
CaptainSpam: Who knows what the gameplay is like, we have SHINY PANTS.
TXC2: the good gameplay vs shiny pants dilemma
mtvcdm: !youtube
mtvcdm: A game that ends makes me way more likely to... want to play it. I have zero interest in live-service games.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Just think of all the possible shiny pants DLC you could sell
Mai_Andra: The first trailer called it "Project EVE" and had animals mutating into monsters, so I'm still floating on "potential new Parasite Eve" hype, even though it's not that...
Marvoleath: I mean, my favourite TV series are the ones that told a story and were done, without trying to spit out more and more seasons because of popularity
TXC2:
games as Service, now there's a sin
mtvcdm: Part of why I rejected wanting anything to do with the Marvel Cinematic Universe was it started feeling really quickly live live-service movies.
BusTed: Trend?
TXC2: Industry meta = a Trend ?
mtvcdm: (Tell me the MCU isn't live-service movies.)
GapFiller: mtvcdm the MCU are totally live service movies
Mai_Andra: and Cameron
Foxmar320: I think the last time G played Destiny was October on stream
GapFiller: never thought abt it that way but yrve convinced me in one stroke (already had a plethora of other problems w/ the MCU that which that thats just another one for the list)
TXC2:
a checkpoint writer who actually plays EVE online
SocraticMethod: Isn't James a Fortnite player?
mtvcdm: Live-service sports games just kinda bore me.
Mai_Andra: I like EVE online. I wish EVE mining could be my day job...
Laserbeaks_Fury:
It's not called the Olds
saiarcot895: live-service games exist only as long as the company making them wants them to exist
mtvcdm: There's not a whole lot to actually do in the core pro-sports game space besides keeping things up to date and making sure it doesn't break, so any innovation is in career modes really.
Laserbeaks_Fury: Need some Correspondents
GapFiller: every EVE Online anecdote ever always reminds me of a story Matt once told on the LRRcast way back when while discussing his playing WoW
TXC2:
mtvcdm and yet they'll make that Madden game EVERY year
Cptasparagus: i'll be an expert contractor for Balatro
EvilBadman: @mtvcdm Madden has a fun new kickoff rule to implement this year
GapFiller: he once mentioned how one of his coworkers was gonna spend his weeknd guarding an asteroid for eight hrs
TheMerricat: Speaking of 'new' and 'live service games' + 'games with an end' so excited about the latest update to No Man's Sky. The space stations are now procedurally generated, instead of being the same everywhere, and they added a build-a-bear system for a bunch of the ship classes.
DoodlestheGreat: I still haven't played that.
GapFiller: doesnt Serge specifically cover that niche in The Crew
Cptasparagus: yeah sadly my game pool almost exactly aligns with Serge
Laserbeaks_Fury: I would imagine closer to Bayonetta
TXC2: "is it a good or a bad end?" "it's an end, that's enough"
TXC2: could be the Fallout style of endings
Amentur: Nier Automata had end of act 1,2,3 and then a bunch of fun endings
Laserbeaks_Fury: You just kep noodling with it
TehAmelie: it's more like they've made about 20 sequels and put them all in the game
mtvcdm: 60 million endings just means they made a bunch of portions of endings and you take certain bits of them and mash them together into one of 60 million possible combinations.
Earthenone: speaking of, stardew 1.6 is great
Laserbeaks_Fury: like tinkering on a car
GapFiller: Amentur as endings go deleting yr save is some commitment to the bit
Marvoleath: CyberPunk 2077 - definitely not a live service, still gets updates
Amentur: One of the best ways to make a gamer know that it really is over, GapFiller
mtvcdm: One of these days Yoko Taro's going to make an ending that includes uninstalling your game on you.
saiarcot895:
someone should've told Disney not to mess with Star Wars
GapFiller: Da Vinci: shes needs a better haircut
Dread_Pirate_Westley: @saiarcot895 Do you not remember the angst over the Lucas revisions to the original trilogy?
GapFiller:
just imagine Da Vinci restyling her hair dfftly for each painting
EvilBadman: Banksy would do that shit if they could
Marvoleath: Is Sagrada Familia a live service? D:
GapFiller: Marvoleath its unfinished tbf
mtvcdm: I'm positive there are artists out there who *have* done this, they're just less famous.
SquareDotCube: Imagine NMS becoming the first heirloom game
ghyllnox: Constant change and evolution is a strong theme in street art
SocraticMethod: @mtvcdm During the sunsetting of SinoALICE the game would ban your mobile account once the ending arc is completed
GapFiller: mtvcdm Yahtzee mentioned a couple in an Extra Punctuation abt this exact topic years ago
Laserbeaks_Fury: I don't doubt Michelangelo wanted to go back and remove some more bits that weren
TheMerricat:
@SquareDotCube The _first_ will be Minecraft, the second will be NMS.
Laserbeaks_Fury: David
saiarcot895: @Dread_Pirate_Westley oh i do, I was refferring Disney adding 3 new movies after that and ending it on a bad note
GapFiller: Laserbeaks_Fury Michelangelo: damnit his junk is too small
Mai_Andra: Disney Star Wars had good potential, but "creation by committee" has a real hard time generating a coherent product.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I mean thats how we got Majora's Mask
Snouut: the first monument valley released on mobile is my favourite mobile game of all time
DeM0nFiRe: That is kind of how I felt about Portal 1
EvilBadman: Mario Galaxy 2 always felt like the "ok, let's get weird with it"
r10pez10: galaxy 2 was all the leftover mechanics they couldn't fit into galaxy 1
Desruprot: one game that was famously released too early was Quest 64
Snouut: can't forget cyberpunk
SocraticMethod:
RoadQuest 1 was great! What about RoadQuest 2? 
GapFiller:
Bruceski: Let's put it this way: When Beej said "and this bed!" I knew that bed and was actually pretty hype about it.
Mai_Andra: I played Myst a very long time ago, and the island still looked familiar to me, so good wook.
Mai_Andra: *work
DeM0nFiRe: Animal Crossing happened to us
KV1NN4: yeha i got it a few moths after all ym friends it was hard >.>;
Mai_Andra: The first regular streams I ever watched on twitch was Heather playing Animal Crossing.
Laserbeaks_Fury: I think i remember more about Riven than Myst
GapFiller: thatd be incredible if true
GapFiller:
is THIS how people get hired by Nintendo
TheMerricat: So a quick google, suggest that what Paul is remembering is when Cyan Worlds laid everyone off and then turned around and rehired them back almost immediately after getting a deal from Turner Broadcasting to keep making games.
TXC2:
I mean, a number of people in chat could add that to their CV for doing that for the moonbase
LoadingReadyRun: interesting!
Marvoleath: If you make the disturbingly accurate model of the bosses house, it might be useful
jessieimproved: There was a guy I worked with a VERY long time ago that made a half life map of our office. For reasons.
GapFiller: TXC2 is there an exact number of people who have legit gotten somewhere w/ DB on their CV
TXC2:

TXC2: GapFiller I don't know, but it's more then one I'll bet
mtvcdm: There's always a couple of straggler games that straddle the two gens.
CaptainSpam: The Switch Pro: Always Just Around The Corner(tm)!
TheMerricat: Next year is the year of the Switch Pro, Linux Desktop, and Valve learning the number 3!
Marvoleath: As someone who works in Games QA, I've seen a lot of movement from QA in US to QA in cheaper areas, mostly Asia
FurthestChunk: Armoured Armadillo does have one of the best songs in Mega Man X
flynnplays35: Any thoughts on the Elden Ring DLC trailer?
SquareDotCube: I imagine most of NoA QA is for translation and localization, plus some website stuff
Marvoleath: There is a lot of international companies, that just move resources between their offices this way
SocraticMethod: DDD time!
TheMerricat: The whole "hire contractors to avoid treating them like employees" thing that companies do is shitty.
flynnplays35: @FurthestChunk I always liked Storm Eagles
GapFiller: At Will is one of those things which yr look at and wonder how anybody ever thought this was acceptable
SquareDotCube: Now in 3D!
Mai_Andra: Draggin' Deez Dogma
GapFiller: then again given historical hierarchies and power distro maybe it makes perfect sense
Laserbeaks_Fury: yeah I assumed Du as well
Marvoleath: Dragon's Dogma Dwo
TheMerricat: @GapFiller The US has never been an employee friendly nation. What little protections we have, have been fought for tooth and nail, and bought with blood and sweat.
GapFiller: TheMerricat something seomthing WWE
SocraticMethod: Relatedly, DD2 got a patch today that gave some performance improvements, and more importantly, enable restarting game internally
Mai_Andra: Adam has been playing on his home stream.
TXC2: GapFiller it's worded in a way that sounds ok at first blush, then you realise what it REALLY means
Laserbeaks_Fury: They dont even call it 2, do they
Marvoleath: @Mai_Andra seemingly not to much enjoyment? I heard him saying that he enjoyed DD but II not so much
Metric_Furlong:
Gamers™ need to be angry at all times, even if it's not for accurate reasons
SocraticMethod: Dragon's Dogma 1.5: More Dragon's Dogma
SquareDotCube: Bad ol' confirmation bias
FarleyF: HA Excellent Chris Deburgh Reference there Beej
Laserbeaks_Fury: Making your own fast travel point is going to make Speedrunning interesting
Marvoleath: furry stone?
SocraticMethod: Also director told that there is NPC permadeath and it should have consequences. Then it was discovered that not all NPC death is permanent, maybe not even any
SocraticMethod: @Marvoleath Ferry Stone
FarleyF: is it a Brian Ferry Stone - when you use it do you hear different songs of his
TheMerricat: They aren't removing content, they are P2W
Mai_Andra: the King Gizzards and their posse of lizard wizards.
Laserbeaks_Fury: games have sold in game currency before
Metric_Furlong: @TheMerricat not what that acronym means
Mai_Andra: it's a shortcut, like a lot of freemium RPGs do.
Marvoleath: In DD1 there were one-time use quick travel ferry stones, but at some point there was one you could get (from DLC maybe? don't remember tbh) that was unlimited uses
SocraticMethod: @TheMerricat Pay 4 convenience
TXC2: can you even have pay to win in a single player game ?
Marvoleath: This feels like paying for cheats for a single player game
Marvoleath: or at least for an easy mode
Laserbeaks_Fury: $1 for 100 wood in Minecraft
Metric_Furlong:
@TXC2 not unless the Game Genie counted
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 Paying for OP equipment or game completion would count I think
GapFiller: phunny tangential story inspired by Heathers point: there was a guy on the bird site this week complaining abt someones neu album not being on Spotify
GapFiller: his problem was essentially he was bad at file management and cdnt figure out mp3's
chaostreader: it sounds kind of like maybe the team was forced to put micro transactions in and just made them the worst.
GapFiller: also this guy was the CEO of an AI law firm

TheMerricat: I mean if you are reviewing Dark Soul games do you need to mention it's hard?
Marvoleath: Dear drs LRR and/or chat - what is a difference between a DLC cosmetic and a microtransaction at this point?
Metric_Furlong:
like, to agree with Graham, a full priced games having microtransactions is just bad on principle. you don't need to come-up with additional accusations about said microtransactions nature beyond that
SocraticMethod: @chaostreader I don't think that is exactly true because this style of MTX has been standard for Capcom since DMC4
GapFiller: Marvoleath P2W tldr
TheMerricat: @Marvoleath microtransactions are a subset of the superset of DLC. IMO
BusTed: Fun Factor 5.0
TXC2: Marvoleath scale?
Laserbeaks_Fury: [] Ai Generated Content
TheMerricat: @Marvoleath DLC is anything that can be downloaded for the game post release. Microtransactions are such content that are - in theory - small and have a low cost.
PMAvers: Like DD1 had them too. (Specifically the original DD1 on consoles, not the later PC release with the expansion, Dark Arisen.) It might've gotten hidden a bit since the old console online stores were garbage at displaying them.
saiarcot895: there's some country that automatically bumps up the rating to 16+ or 18+ or something if there's gambling, is it the EU or Japan or someone else?
SocraticMethod: MTX was used to mean something in cash shop, DLC was expansion pack but delivered online. Now that cash shops include everything it's more of a vibe
Marvoleath: technically, microT are things unlocking content that are already in the game but behind the paywall, DLC is something added extra. But I feel like in the era of always online single player games it's all being mixed, especially in colloquial language, I feel
mtvcdm: "muddy"
TXC2: good lord
GapFiller:
mtvcdm: yes. mud. that's what that is.
Lord_Hosk: People are into weird things...
TheMerricat:
The WAM community is out and proud.
Lord_Hosk: some people juggle geese
Metric_Furlong: is this one of Beej's trademark analogies?
ghyllnox:
Yeah I don't think these people are fly fishing 
TXC2: teleporting vs super speed
Marvoleath: (and yes, microtransactions is based on cost, which also is not exact science based on different markets)
Laurence72: A lot of MMOs have steed you can purchase a ticket for a minute or so trip to a new map location
Marvoleath: WoW gryphon rides?
PMAvers: In retrospect, I kind of wish I didn't use the taxis in LAD Infinite Wealth anymore. Boy once I had a little money I just started teleporting around the island constantly.
Marvoleath:
that shiet took ages, still was the "fast travel system" 
SocraticMethod: Do cars in GTA count as fast travel/horsecart?
EvilBadman: @pmavers You miss so many unmarked party convos
Laserbeaks_Fury: LoZ had a Warp Whistle
Laurence72: @Marvoleath Those, FF14 had horses on top of teleporting crystals, Everquest had various mounts too
PMAvers: Oh yeah, definitely.
EverestMagnus subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 57 months!

LRRbot:

PMAvers: Especially when we have the segways and can just cruise.
TXC2: SocraticMethod cars aren't fast travel, taxis are
Laserbeaks_Fury: Horizon was really good about that
EvilBadman: BOTW had that horse teleport in the DLC
Bruceski: That was some Breath of the Wild DLC. A teleporter harness for the horse.
SquareDotCube: Or you just make a machine that goes faster than a horse. Or flies.
rubikdarkwill: One of the BotW DLC horse armor allowed you to call it anywhere
SocraticMethod: @TXC2 Did the travel option exist before 4? I can't remember if Vice City had it
PMAvers: Heck, $5 to teleport anywhere on the island anytime retrospectively is SUPER CHEAP. I'd maybe make it like $50 instead?
EvilBadman: @squaredotcube That's why I didn't horse much. Airbike too stronk
TXC2: SocraticMethod not that I recall, I've only played san andreas
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh yeah, Calling Fury in Darksiders was awesome
10of9: The moment I found out that you could leave your horse behind in Breath of the Wild, I stopped putting any effort into horses
PMAvers: Was it Agents of Mayhem where, when you summon your super car, you kind of dive into it through the windshield as it rolls up?
Lord_Hosk: You should have seen the discussion we were having in RayFKs chat about a real world teleporter to anywere but you can't hold anything.
TXC2: UNION FOREVER!
SocraticMethod: @Lord_Hosk Not even clothing?
GapFiller: TXC2 SocraticMethod Vice City had taxi rides in a very limited scale
an_archist2: the sonic mandela effect
TXC2: GapFiller neat, thanks
GapFiller: it was exclusively a way to repeat failed missions
mtvcdm: Most of the time, you have 5 fingers. You are now mentally imagining yourself with various numbers of fingers.
KV1NN4: my very not sonic gamer partner was going nuts about game-sonic having 5 fingers. XD
TXC2: so it's schism ?
SocraticMethod: @GapFiller Ah, thanks. I guess then all 3D GTA had taxi fast travel
Lord_Hosk: @SocraticMethod Not even clothing... the rules went even deeper. to avoid it being a smuggling portal.
mtvcdm: So what you're saying is that Sonic is an AI creation, because he doesn't know how many fingers he has.
CaptainSpam:
This is why I just draw mitten-hands and say to hell with it. 
mtvcdm: !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!)
Marvoleath: Do the Escher elephant thing, that have more ends of fingers than starts of fingers
KV1NN4: If Beej thinks he was making that up about Sonic.... I have news...old news
SquareDotCube: Totally not Kirby
Ivalenz_: Fun Fact: Beej isn't cannon.
SocraticMethod: Well, mostly everyone got mad because OG movie sonic had small rodent eyes
TheMerricat: Now I remember someone explaining to me that if you were Godzilla's size, your eyes would only be able to see infrared and longer wavelenghts.....
Dread_Pirate_Westley: "works"
SquareDotCube: Beej is now trained for HR...
Marvoleath: @TheMerricat you would also suffocate, so there is that
Laserbeaks_Fury: Fairly certain Florida is At will
FarleyF:
your state/province/fic
Marvoleath: "at will" seems like a nice option to have if both parties want it, not what should be a norm
TheMerricat: Except you find out that if you quit and cause the company damages due to your leaving the company without notice you can be sued for those damages....
mtvcdm: You CAN quit for any reason but they still fully expect that you'll give two weeks notice anyway.
Lord_Hosk: That was one of the big problems with remote work, is that the labor laws in the state you live and work in are not necessarily the labor laws in the state you are employed in.
jessieimproved: you can already quit for any reason
TXC2: it's "fair" and "balanced"
EvilBadman: Symmetrical!
beowuuf:
symmetric effects are fair
SocraticMethod:
Symmetric effects are fair
SocraticMethod: lol jinx
Laurence72: fair does not equal just
TXC2: equality is not equity
beowuuf:
you had a kappa as you weren't being serious, whereas i stuck my tongue out for entirely unrelated reasons while being totally serious
TXC2: Kyushu is the big main island right?
GapFiller: TXC2 no thats Honshu
TXC2: GapFiller ah, thank you
mtvcdm: Collect the deep-fried ears of your neighbors
CaptainSpam: "Great work, Agent 4! Say, have you ever had a squid ring before? They're horrifyingly delicious!"
GapFiller: Kyushu is the Southernmost island (not counting Okinawa)
Marvoleath: some people eat monkey brains
shurtal: nya-haha
LordZarano: Is this a Goofy Pluto situation?
CaptainSpam: Also, the "villain" of Splatoon is... a very mercurial subject, depending on which game in the series it is.
Marvoleath: Goofy was taking Pluto for a walk
Amentur: Donald Duck eating a roasted duck for dinner
Lord_Hosk: Ash's mom and Mr Mime...
Marvoleath: and Minnie was afraid of mice
Laserbeaks_Fury: We eat monkey brains
TXC2:
Laserbeaks_Fury we really shouldn't though
Laserbeaks_Fury: No we shouldnt
SquareDotCube: "in the far future, only humans and their genetic derivative hybrids are extant"
GapFiller: lrrWOW

shurtal: the wheels of the judicial system are rusty, and squeeky
TXC2:
Capitalism: it's so generic
SocraticMethod: "Among the claims, a central complaint is around the way PlayStation consoles and controllers communicate with each other — specifically submitting a separate signal on a 'slow-varying' frequency for button inputs and another higher frequency for motion control input."
rubikdarkwill: "developing work" is the key part of that. Patent trolls don't do any development on the patent
SocraticMethod: So multi-frequency signal multiplexing
accountmadeforants: @SocraticMethod Yes, but "...between controllers"! That makes basic engineering unique!
Ivalenz_: Prequel to City Skylines 3.
mtvcdm: They should build on grass
BusTed: Rendering all the peoples.
TXC2:

SquareDotCube: Map and scenario editor
SquareDotCube: To be more accurate
dumbo3k: World Editing instead of City Building
mtvcdm: This is just, you don't have to earn the buildings or the setup, you can just play with it like legos
Mai_Andra: "creative mode" vs "survival mode"
SquareDotCube: They have mixed use zoning
SquareDotCube: And alleys
SquareDotCube: (the alleys don't function well)
SocraticMethod: AFAIK CS2 needs roads and parking for trucks at least
SocraticMethod: CS2 uses the walking person (cim) as a unit of simulation. They take cars and public transport based on distance, capacity and incentives
mtvcdm: The worst of road building, and now it can be yours
asddsa28: o wow
Mai_Andra: yes, it's fairly common in US big cities
TXC2: "left to their own devices, city planers will eventually make New Jersey"
beowuuf: milton kenes
SquareDotCube: It's no magic roundabout
mtvcdm: The US has a lot of those
Brozard: Did they beat Mario Maker?
Texan_Reverend: Houston has tons of spaghetti bowls. It's the default way all the freeways intersect.
Texan_Reverend: And there are _lots_ of freeways.
r10pez10: just one more lane bro
SocraticMethod: The 0%, or collection of Mega Rich Light-Bending Guys
accountmadeforants: Like, the Spaghetti Junction is what it'd look like if you asked an AI to make a picture of a junction

jacqui_lantern234:
heather, my existence is a problem
Dread_Pirate_Westley: @jacqui_lantern234 Your existence is a joy to everyone. Boom.
accountmadeforants:
Theoretically possible, at least 
EvilBadman: From what I understood they were holding a level "The Last Dance" as the actual final level and Trimming the Herbs was penultimate.
jacqui_lantern234: @Dread_Pirate_Westley "to everyone" is provably false
Laserbeaks_Fury: Or have infinite attempts
SocraticMethod: @EvilBadman I don't think human actually completed TtH
accountmadeforants: People are still trying
rubikdarkwill: Team 0% said that all the sections of TTH had been done individually, but not together
EvilBadman: @socraticmethod Also true
SocraticMethod: 18 frame- and pixel-perfect jumps in a row is _possible_, but unreasonable
accountmadeforants: The opposite of that secret Nier level that was actually meant to reveal mod tools
TXC2: right chat I'm off
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Heather, Paul and Beej
accountmadeforants: Goodnight TXC
mtvcdm: I feel there's a decent chance they can get there given that *everyone* knows it's just this *one* level to take on.
dumbo3k: Antiquated Console
accountmadeforants: People have literally gone "oh yeaaaah", yes
mtvcdm: It's a group project, undivided attention.
saiarcot895: sue-you
Dread_Pirate_Westley: You definitely need a key. Here's how you find your key.
accountmadeforants: What if the rights holder was the Yuzu people
saiarcot895: technically, even under an open-source license, the contributors still have _some_ rights, but submitting a DMCA takedown might not be one of them
SocraticMethod: "Troy, listed as a "Core Suyu Developer" in the Discord server, wrote Thursday afternoon that the DMCA request came from an "unknown source" and that there is "no way to confirm" if Nintendo was involved. "There is also a possibility that the person who sent this DMCA is a copyright troll, like on YouTube, based on the wording of the DMCA reason that was sent to GitLab," Troy wrote."
accountmadeforants: Apparently Yuzu had the GPLv3 license, which is for real for real no take-backsies open source.

saiarcot895: are the cert files actually unique per game card?
TheDailyMapleSyrup: What happends if someone finds a way to generate cert files without having the original cart
accountmadeforants: (As in, originally-written-by-Stallman open-source)
SocraticMethod: @TheDailyMapleSyrup They get recruited by NSA because they broke modern cybersecurity
saiarcot895: huh, TIL
CaptainSpam: @TheDailyMapleSyrup Then the concept of digital signatures is suspect, which makes A LOT, and I mean A LOT of things a real real super big problem in a super big hurry.
accountmadeforants: Emulators also take shortcuts, so it's not completely impossible
SocraticMethod: The proper digital certificate is generated using a chain of trust starting a single master key. It's technically possible to monkey-on-typewriter an immaculate valid certificate, but there should be no way to figure out a master certificate used to generate unique cart certificates
itsaysTRUENO: "our monopoly is good for consumers" i love that
accountmadeforants: Spencer also said something along the lines of (paraphrased): "The problem is that capitalism demands infinite growth, and that sucks and causes all kinds of problems like layoffs to ensure a more profitable quarter. [...] Therefore the video game industry needs to figure out how to keep growing."
accountmadeforants: Like, dang, you were almost there
Laserbeaks_Fury:
oh it's sharted alright
accountmadeforants: (Source for my comment, that is)
LordZarano: Old PC games work on the Steamdeck, right?
Laserbeaks_Fury: Maybe thats the preamble to having to have more expensive consoles
jessieimproved: @LordZarano If they work in Linux through Proton they usually do
accountmadeforants: The Moore's law thing also refers to the fact that games consoles were also subsidized because they could be fairly sure they'd hit a new process node that'd let them build the same system for way less money within like two years.
jessieimproved: I can play most games in Linux now
Texan_Reverend: The Moore's Law reference seems like it refers to the way that console build costs used to drop more over its lifespan, allowing manufacturers to only have to subsidize units earlier in the life cycle.
whenwearebothcats:
@accountmadeforants I felt for sure I was about to read him say 'lets be happy not growing for a bit' or even (whisper it) lets make games which are actively less grandiose etc. 
Laserbeaks_Fury: If your plan is to eventually increase the price of consoles to cost, it makes sense to start talking about tearing down walls
mtvcdm: Man. You can't have infinite accelerating RAM growth anymore and now here they are laying off consoles smh
iris_of_ether: The components market has been a hot mess for several years now, too
CaptainSpam: When "cross-compatibility!" means "TWO versions of the same system!"
Laserbeaks_Fury: Tear down the walls so you all can play in *our* yard
SocraticMethod: Yeah, Series S was bit of an albaross for Microsoft
EvilBadman: I think most bluntly, they want GamePass on other consoles.
Hans_0lo_: Whenever I think of Microsoft making games nu mind always goes to Midtown Madness
accountmadeforants: The Xbox can be the next SteamBox! Oh...
accountmadeforants: (Or Steam Machine, I forget the official name)
r10pez10: i think that's called an iron
accountmadeforants: I do like that Steam Deck Verified is an incentive to ensure a lower (actually functional) minimum spec
accountmadeforants: Even if it doesn't always work out
Lord_Hosk: No, its a Wii U shall see... HEYOHHH
Koios7: how are they gonna come for nintendo
Koios7: oh eshop I guess
Marvoleath:
the cost of the consumer friendly solution is that they are moving adds from MS store to start menu
saiarcot895:

whenwearebothcats: oh, my ketttle is boiling?

Laurence72: So independent that became enslaved to conventional naming conventions
SocraticMethod: Also Gearbox (?)
EvilBadman: Devs /and/ publishers
mtvcdm: And you can stream it on III+ presumably
mtvcdm: Anything that gives Geoff Keighley less things to sell
accountmadeforants: No advertising on our advertising, a fascinating concept
corpocracy: Okay, the event itself sounds okay
Laurence72: Maybe it's like a dolphin speaking, like I-I-I-I-I ?
mtvcdm: If Sega becomes an indie, could they announce it on Sonic's 30th AnniversarIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?
accountmadeforants: I-I-I I'm your little butterfly~
SocraticMethod: 👁️👁️👁️ games?
Lord_Hosk: How many Sweedish Kroner do you have to make to make III game?
Amentur: Double i has certainly been around for a bit - refering to very well polished indie games
Laurence72: In Roman numerals, it's just a 3 game
SocraticMethod: @Lord_Hosk Dunno, what's the Paradox's budget these days?
e_bloc: no that's iiAA
EvilBadman: Skull and Bones was 40% off a week or two ago, AAAA games is a land of contrasts
accountmadeforants: Intendie Direct
mtvcdm: I think this is kinda like what Wholesome Direct started as

Metric_Furlong: Chillpoint? Going long?!
Marvoleath: @mtvcdm is the word "duck"?
Brozard: Dungeon Meshi
accountmadeforants: Well here's a fun fact "greebles" is a real word, also known as "nurnies". It's also an adjective and verb. I.e., a thing can be greebled, you can greeble a thing.
