[rancid edge]

do you mean no (or limited) wilderness or Many Years Later map without a complete crafting tree? That makes sense

[sonic stream]

Right

Like I don't think there's been any discussion on the whole "profession" thing as of late

[rancid edge]

indeed. A better use of time would be to put PZ on a VR system

[glossy shadow]

[rancid edge]

hopefully in 3 days they’ll clarify that and more

[glossy shadow]

getting closer!

[rancid edge]

btw it’ll be pretty neat that the Thursdoid will drop when the Steam Summer Sale starts

124K+ members. Looks like a trend of +1K every few weeks

[glossy shadow]

That is pretty neat, wonder if PZ will be in the summer sale this time around

I know they just went on sale recently, and they generally spread it out

[rancid edge]

33% discount during the Spring Sale in mid March and the Open World Survival Crafting Fest in late May. If TIGS is feeling generous, they’ll do a 34% discount this summer

[glossy shadow]

even 33% off is such a steal

EVEN FULL IS SUCH A STEAL

😄

[rancid edge]

the 4-Pack is even better

[glossy shadow]

Trueee

I want to grab it for two friends but I am not sure that they will play with me even if I were to purchase it for them

I know that once they got into it they would love it (especially when we get animals)

convincing people to play is rough though, not going to lie

[humble pagoda]

Just hit 'em with the ol'

Razzle Dazzle

[rancid edge]

lol or stream it for them. Something will be bound to catch their attention and they’ll give in to the curiosity

tell them there’s frogs and cherry pie and Mr. Spiffo

[tardy rover]

Crow sounds in the middle of Louisville after many months have passed would be cool

[thorn wigeon]

seeing wildlife moving into abandoned buildings and making it a nest.

seeing a deer using a abandoned home as a nesting ground for its fawns.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YsUimgDxyc also would be a nice attention to detail is the bucks shedding its antlers having them fall off.

[rancid edge]

then repurpose those shed antlers into a weapon

or just collect as many shed antlers as you can to flex on everyone else

[grave torrent]

the glowing discussion

[grave torrent]

is that a natural thing?

[sonic stream]

Antler shedding? Yep it is

They do it every year I believe

[night gust]

Honeslty I'm particularly interested to these things, hope they could give us some news about it soon, of course after 42 release..

[lunar glen]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[night gust]

Also if it's true that they have already a lot of npc code, than I wonder if we will need to wait for b43 the same time we waited for b42.

To be more specific I didn't understand if there are a group of coder that is working already on NPC or this phase will start after B42.

Did someone received confirmed about this?.. just curious..

[fleet urchin]

Always expect a long wait

[night gust]

Yep it's the best approach👍

[sonic stream]

It was confirmed that it will come out

[lunar glen]

Rimworld style priority and jobs system
Makes sense. We need a system to influence how NPCs will operate at home base.
Personality system
Not sure how deep they'll be able to make it for B43, but I'm curious how that will affect their behavior, besides combat effectiveness and hostility.
Procedural story event system
We already saw a glimpse at how that works before game start, and I'm interested in the number of story events they have planned.
Combat systems
Like...advanced group combat control????
Autonomous survival behaviors
Makes sense. NPCs need to be able to take care of themselves before meeting you.
Advanced group behavior systems
I don't know what this means.
Vehicle driving systems
We also saw a glimpse of this. And they seem to drive SOOO much better than us 😅

[sonic stream]

I'm not so keen on the group control stuff

If I want rimworld I got rimworld

[fleet urchin]

Then just go away and live in the woods

In game

[lunar glen]

===
Although, something I'm a bit interested in is whether or not we'll always be forced to be faction leader, or it's possible we'll be able to join as a member of an NPC-run faction, if that's even possible.

[fleet urchin]

No way the player will always be the leader, that would be silly

[gray nymph]

Great overloaf

[fleet urchin]

No idea about first release of course, I am just speculating

[night gust]

Yeah I assume that you must make something to have the attention of some NPC to give priority, may be that if you save someone that is weak he want follow you, other wont

[sonic stream]

As long as npcs can be reduced or turned off

I like being the lone survivor at times

[fleet urchin]

They can't, always on, living lives, even if you uninstall

[lunar glen]

Definitely gonna be a sandbox option

[sonic stream]

I'm gonna make a new reddit post with Pats confirmations

This is all Canon

[gray nymph]

Stahp lol

[fleet urchin]

There's no confirmations of anything, don't joke

I literally have no idea

If I did, I wouldn't be on Discord

[sonic stream]

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-snap-picture-shrek-gif-12450430

[night gust]

Yea when npc will become part of the game it will gain an amazing depth...

For now let's enjoy b42 features, probably we are not too far, I think it will be released on 2-3 months, I'm optimistic 🙂

[sonic stream]

Well, you keep that optimism going

[prisma ibex]

It's Tuesdoid my dudes 😎

[thorn wigeon]

2 more days until the thursdoid arrives.

[surreal rampart]

good save, good save

[shell galleon]

"thursdoid when" is the new "b41 when"

[surreal rampart]

yep, and still equally dumb

[shell galleon]

at least thursdoid the name itself gives a pretty good guess when it might happen 😄

[thorn wigeon]

dev blogs give us hype for future content and features.

[shell galleon]

and I can tell you I await for b42 like a salivating bloodhound eager to chomp

[rain adder]

The goal is to give NPCs a sandbox option to turn players off, so they can live their lives without maniacs going around doing all kinds of insane challenges "How fast can I make an NPC hate me?"

[gray nymph]

lol

[shell galleon]

"How many NPCs of the group I can lure to a dark alley and murder before the other NPCs notice it"

[gray nymph]

just gonna sit from a house and watch them from afar , like ants in a anty factory

[shell galleon]

just the fact you may be able to "kindly ask" them to farm stuff like logs makes the wait for b43+ all worth it

but don't think I'm ready for bunch of NPCs just tell me "no" so I can get offended

[night gust]

Honestly I can't imagine how many cool stories we could get on YouTube, thinking to players that have different approach, like running from bandits and neutral one or others that kill all Npc they meet robbing them.

Will be funny playing it but will be also interesting from a storytelling point of view.

[gray nymph]

lol i hope they do that

would be so funny for the people that just want workhorse npcs and walking backpacks

"i dont want to carry that"

[shell galleon]

yeah even better, make the npcs get annoyed of me ordering them and they make ME to do chores under the threat of exiling me

[gray nymph]

haha yeah !!

then you finally find one npc that works with you only to die to a zombie lol

[shell galleon]

2 days later, the camp is a smoldering ruin after a mysterious figure threw a molotov at the sleeping npcs

[gray nymph]

FRANCIS nooooooooooo!!!

omg give them the ability to cook

"whys the camp burned down?"

[shell galleon]

would imagine it might be a pipedream for NPCs to have proper independent AI to a point they can scheme and harbor vengeance towards you, other than "you attacked our group member, we're now perma-hostile to you"

now imagine far future of PZ where you eat food with fellow NPCs, you get nausea, you realize you didn't get harmed by zeds, or corpse sickness...so you deduce it has to be the food. Then you have to figure out who cooked this meal, whether it made other NPCs sick or just you...and all this happening because some actions you have had with a specific NPC made him/her resent you and you didn't bother to mend relations so you're being targeted

After all, once you get used to zeds, the living become the actual threat because they are far less predictable

[gray nymph]

lol adds bleach

that it i aint trusting no npc

[humble pagoda]

WOODS WOODS WOODS
🌴🌴🌴

So long as those NPCs stay in the cities/towns, we will not have conflict.

[shell galleon]

Don't lead 'em to your forest base

[gray nymph]

make it so they go in the forest too

[humble pagoda]

Any trackers will be fixed with the ol' "hit really hard with a club" method of communication.

[gray nymph]

lolYOU GUYS WONT BE SAFE ANYWHERE!!

[shell galleon]

lock your bedrooms, or the sleep event might be a psycho NPC whispering to your ear

[gray nymph]

oh no lol

npc just standing above you while your sleeping, staring

[humble pagoda]

Hot.

"Hey guys, Tech-Adept Nicolai here, and we're gonna be doing the 'seduce the sleep paralysis psycho' speedrun in Build 42 of Project Zomboid!"

But also, shame on you for implying I will live in a place with doors. I will live free, able to get all the pneumonia I want.

[shell galleon]

It's ok, during sleep you are technically invisible to all threats

[humble pagoda]

I won't have any armour, but by gods my Neolithic run I will craft the finest spears out of fallen tree branches and flint that you've ever seen in your life.

[shell galleon]

Don't forget your bow and arrows, if that was part of B42 too

Grugg would be proud

[humble pagoda]

Bow and arrows are too new.

It'll never catch on.

[shell galleon]

then by powers that be, give us throwable spears

[humble pagoda]

Yesssss...

Pat_Bren and the NPC team when I avoid their months of hard work completely to make my home in the Deep Woods

[shell galleon]

Who needs zeds in deep woods anyway, now a proper blizzard for a week will either break your run or you just comfily sit in your clay hut

[gray nymph]

lol

[shell galleon]

unless the animals we hunt in the forest can actually hurt us, too, like a deer thrashing about and/or charging

[gray nymph]

deer usually just run

[humble pagoda]

I love the idea of getting rid of zombies in Project Zomboid lmfao

[shell galleon]

yeah probably, just my personal copium that the vast majority of player wounds are from zeds and it could revive first aid a bit if we can get hurt other ways too

[humble pagoda]

Tree razor blades

[gray nymph]

lol i was just thinking we have tree

[humble pagoda]

We need MORE

[gray nymph]

yes add some sticker burrs and bristle crunches

[shell galleon]

although my car suddenly going speed of light after spending few seconds on a metal pole breaking my legs for over a month of in-game time

I don't need that ever again

[gray nymph]

lol make it so we have to tie our shoes OR EVEN walking in dirt has chance to get rock in shoe cause foot pain

[plush coral]

I wouldn't risk making bait like that because Lemmy would read the first line and sell Indie Stone to paradox or Team17 or some shit

[humble pagoda]

Hey, Soul Filcher, you're a part of the mega-corporation known as The Indie Game Store. What can you tell me as an insider of the excitement the team has for going neolithic in Project Zomboid?

[rain adder]

All I can say is that if people don't make a funny video with that 2001: A Space Odyssey song as soundtrack I'm going to be mad. We are doing our part, the community must do theirs!

[gray nymph]

ill remember this

when i finally find peham van and and rat king

You know, if you remove the zombies, this game could be a great Sim game

[visual vector]

That’s what I’m saying

[glossy shadow]

Pretty sure there are RP servers that do that

will be better once B42 comes into play I am sure

[gray nymph]

yah i have seen a couple since joining here , pretty cool the game allows people of all types to play how they want

[visual vector]

Thank god

[visual vector]

yess 🤤

[sonic stream]

Idk I think it'd be interesting to have a quest mode where you help factions and shit

[humble pagoda]

Gonna do my part to make the NPCs trust me, to depend fully on me. And just when they are at their apex, I will leave. Will they crumble, lost to infighting? Or will they take what they have been given, and reclaim their society for themselves, free from the whims and eccentricities of a single ruler?

I suppose only time could tell.

[sonic stream]

Versus a colony Sim

Or hell why not both?

[gray nymph]

like a socipath lol

[sonic stream]

Ala dwarf fortress adventure mode

[humble pagoda]

No, a sociopath wouldn't care about these people. I do. But they need to understand that ape together strong, and that no single monke is infallible.

They'd lose trust in me, but trust each other, or be lost to the sands of time.

Maybe I will see them, sometimes, from my home in the forest. I will notice the young grow strong and the strong grow old. And I may hope to return, but I can never.

[rancid edge]

if they end up being lost to the sands of time, then apes together still weak

[visual vector]

I wanna be a grunt

I don’t like organizing colony I want to be at the bottom of the pyramid

[echo locust]

I want a small group of people to manage a farm. I want to play farmville basically

[sonic stream]

Honestly, I could see being a grunt

Might actually be fun

I think devs should consider it

Have different modes if you will

[gray nymph]

noo theyre going to over water it!!

[slate vapor]

Ztardew Valleydoid

No

Project stardoid

[lunar glen]

Why haven't they used this for a Thursdoid title on one that focuses on farming?

[slate vapor]

This easy. Trademark law

[glossy shadow]

We did it!

🎉

[slate vapor]

Concerned ape holds the trademark on Stardew Valley and while I'm sure concerned ape wouldn't flinch at a farming update referring to Stardew valley, I'm also sure Indie Stones Lawyers would advise against tempting fate

[rancid edge]

I’d be excited about encountering individuals or groups of collector NPCs! Some of their quests would be having you collect newspapers clippings to piece together what happened leading up and during the Knox Event or something else like having you collect paintings (like that one annotated map), CDs, VHS tapes, photos, or even plushies so they can preserving them. Perhaps other collector NPCs would ask you to seek out and acquire dog tags or all fish in a given season

[glossy shadow]

I really don't think that they would sue over a blog post title lol

if they actually called the update that maybe

[slate vapor]

As I said, I'm sure concerned ape wouldn't flinch
I'm also sure Indie Stones Lawyers and other decision makers don't feel like tempting fate

lol I’d be too. If I were to find the friendship bracelet I gave to them in the trash bin (let’s hope they don’t use the “Delete All” option), then that NPC would mysteriously disappear

[gray nymph]

the only left was the bracelet

[rancid edge]

surely this a genuine record you recognize now, @echo locust

Gotta lot of grinding to do if we want to break this new recond starting thursday lol

[echo locust]

I will accept it

[rancid edge]

you’re right. It’s missing a wanted poster with our character’s face on it. Once they figure out who we are then we’ll threaten them with “put the Spiffo in the bag! Do it or I’ll blow your brains out!”

[gray nymph]

whos base is that btw it looks cute

WAIT ITS A FENCE is that a bus stop lol

[rancid edge]

[gray nymph]

thats great haha i love little weird bases like that lol

[sonic stream]

I feel like they've mentioned quest stuff

Only problem with quests is what happens when the individual dies

[rancid edge]

Totems of Undying?

[humble pagoda]

Not enough lawyers know how to box imho

[rancid edge]

I’m sure they’ll find a way to make communities and their residents permanent or last for years on end. Some protective measures could be having us unable to utilize any weapon of sorts within a considerable radius of the community and having it be fairly remote or underground where zombie spawns are negligent or nonexistent. It would really suck to lose a whole settlement by accidentally letting a fire spread into the community. Would probably have to start up a new run if no other large and well-established communities are present anywhere else on the map

[sonic stream]

That's sort of the issue, at what point does realism get in the way of fun

Why help the npcs with jobs when they just die

[glossy shadow]

alternatively having to relocate the settlement after a fire could add to the story and history for the NPCs to refer back to

[shell galleon]

NPCs respawning with far slower rate than zeds could replenish their numbers if they become dumb and lose entire communities

[glossy shadow]

would be kind of neat

[shell galleon]

although finding a formerly-hostile community wiped out by zeds and then trying to loot the hell out of that place while clearing the zeds could be fun, too...

[glossy shadow]

I think the first thing I will do when NPCs come out is lure a giant horde to them to see how they react

[shell galleon]

and the community-turned-zeds would have better than average zed inventory given they just recently were living and allegedly more prepared to the apocalypse progressing

[glossy shadow]

I like this

[shell galleon]

it would at least make infested community sites more lucrative for looting, as you'll be facing both natural zeds and new recruits

I once thought the game creates those The Walking Dead type hordes with thousands of zeds when I heard the scarier music, but alas that is not the case...maybe communities being wiped out one after another, could lead to a creation of a super-horde

[gray nymph]

i think it would be cool to watch the population just thin out over time , sad , but realistic

[shell galleon]

if the game would be able to begin as living started succumbing, you could take your chances trying to loot other houses with still-living people being terrified/trying to defend their homes from looters like the player. Dangerous starting gamble to go loot the living households, but risk vs rewards, up to you if you just watch it all go to hell or become an opportunist

[gray nymph]

id feel too bad lol

theres no way!! i was that person in twd talltale series to leave the food cause it wasnt ours lol

[shell galleon]

maybe you can roleplay that your neighbour is a moron who once didn't return your power drill and the apocalypse is the perfect timing to show him who's the boss 😉

and watch him get eaten while you loot his house

[gray nymph]

"can i get some sugar"

and sliced penisham

[shell galleon]

and perhaps you could create a community as the world goes to hell, from day 1 and try to see if it can hold, akin to any apocalyptic series/movie where some communities are struggling to survive the initial wave

infinite possibilities with what the devs are cooking with (as per what was planned for future builds)

[rancid edge]

perhaps not the best work-around, but a setting for NPCs to have eternal life or not would accommodate those who prefer fun over realism (and vice versa) since many would either cherish their NPCs + their benefits OR consider NPCs overpowered somehow and try to thrive without relying on them often

[shell galleon]

^ That is why sandbox mode exists aye?

[humble pagoda]

Have you considered, however, the golden rule?

"Finders keepers"

[shell galleon]

It's not a crime if you don't get caught. Or if you do, what's he gonna do? Call the police? 😉

[humble pagoda]

I say we use the minecraft village method of just having to build a MASSIVE amount of doors to boost the population of NPCs.

[shell galleon]

over a decade ago, I got enough of any minecraft doors when villagers would spam open-close them for hours next to my base, please no

[gray nymph]

NO lol

[humble pagoda]

I'll steal the cops too, I dgaf

[shell galleon]

note to self: Do not create an infernal machine with cacophony of hundred crooked nosed villagers really being into doors

[gray nymph]

what if they have a sniffer and its to feed their pet?!

[shell galleon]

I'm sure Indie Stone updates the doors having closing animations just for propagating new NPCs

[humble pagoda]

I want them to MASSIVELY increase the volume of the door.

Make windows the hot new fad for entering houses, the doors are always locked anyways.

[shell galleon]

If we can make our own glass, sure, I don't like replacing broken windows

[rancid edge]

MC Sniffer or a doggo/pupper?

[humble pagoda]

Hucking a sack full of sand in the oven in the hopes of making a perfect 4 grid window pane

[gray nymph]

lol i had to think about that , a dog lol

[gray nymph]

wait so how does mc do it lol

wait im dumb thats a furnace

[keen prawn]

too late, it's already a feature at this point https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wbt795liVQ

[rancid edge]

we'll put sand in a massive pressure cooker then lol

[shell galleon]

Various metals have a melting point that a smelting furnace could produce

so I would assume a very medieval type would suffice

[gray nymph]

lol could you melt glass doing that

[shell galleon]

since things like cast iron, nickel, copper, gold all have a melting point that glass-making would use

[thorn wigeon]

doors also open slower so that no more use of spamming the open and close.

[gray nymph]

good lol

[thorn wigeon]

just need water shutoffs to be more challenging and not be able to fill 2 water bottles.

[shell galleon]

Ergo if the game in build 42 allows us to do blacksmithing, the metal varities used in metallurgy also could lead a possibility of making rudimentary glass

[thorn wigeon]

water shutoffs where water in the pipes go dry.

[shell galleon]

^ residual water is a thing though, so the game right now is realistic at very least to a point

but water is harder to be a game-breaking resource to lack given rain, boiling it...

[thorn wigeon]

stocking up on water before shutoffs are kind of useless since we could just get water from another building.

[rancid edge]

what about wells or rivers?

no more infinite water source?

[shell galleon]

Well we can say zombie TV series are not very realistic at all, not much drama in thirst if in reality you could at least do well for a while 😄

[thorn wigeon]

wells and rivers could be more natural source after shutoffs.

[slate vapor]

Tbh, I don't think water should be too hard to get.
It's essential for life, and it causes tight situations when you get caught out of position, but I don't think that aspect of the game needs to be made more complicated

[shell galleon]

always mods that can make water more difficult to handle like "Pyrogenic Summer" type ones

[rancid edge]

no one wants to distill their water. Too much work and time needed

[thorn wigeon]

what if PZ has ice storms or heat waves

[shell galleon]

would love more extreme weather, but dont want permanently lethal weathers like cryogenic winter

[thorn wigeon]

heat waves having to stay indoors and avoid the sun.

[shell galleon]

or like PrivateLime did with the pyrogenic summer series, every movement of your body counts given the extreme heat and lack of water 😄

[humble pagoda]

Just don't drink water, lmao

That shit don't even taste good

[thorn wigeon]

drinking out of toilet logic in PZ

[shell galleon]

Toilet Water is safer than river water, because reasons

[rancid edge]

Dasani water

[shell galleon]

here's hoping they never "fix" sinks purifying rainwater, its too comfy

[humble pagoda]

I haven't drank any water in 3 days, and I feel fi

[glossy shadow]

🪦

[slate vapor]

Irl or in game

[humble pagoda]

[slate vapor]

Please tell me that's in game

Because that's permanent kidney damage if it's irl

[thorn wigeon]

dehydration would kill a person more quicker than starvation

[humble pagoda]

I got two for a reason

[glossy shadow]

kidney stones intensify

[thorn wigeon]

body can last longer without food than water.

[humble pagoda]

Get on my grindset, I saved like 80 cents

[slate vapor]

Yeah your body uses both of em, so you're damaging both of them

[humble pagoda]

Nah, I'm only using the one because I'm built different.

[rancid edge]

I'm sure they're joking lol but they are right. Please do hydrate, buddy

[slate vapor]

Wrong kidney injury

[thorn wigeon]

another idea is having a nutrition system when you have to watch out for scurvey or beri beri

[shell galleon]

scurvy without citrus fruits to plant

[slate vapor]

Tbh that would be a good way to shake off the cabbage meta

[thorn wigeon]

vitimins as a suppliment.

[rancid edge]

having déjà vu rn. Wasn't this also a discussion in the last blog post? Not discouraging talking about it, but it feels recent lol

[thorn wigeon]

lack or iron nutrition and contracting anemia.

[humble pagoda]

I'm all for scavenging for random pills that I have no idea what they do and need to consult a wiki or an ingame pocket drug guide.

Or, starting out as a nurse.

[gray nymph]

rofl

nuh uh in the90s we just took em and rolled the dice

[glossy shadow]

Not really, the way to keep from getting kidney stones is to drink water, obviously it won't be the only issue if you lack hydration but it doesn't help either

[thorn wigeon]

gambling in project zomboid with npc

[shell galleon]

opioid addiction in-game with stat maluses if you can't get clean, yes yes

[glossy shadow]

game night mod with NPCs! my body is ready

[thorn wigeon]

just need smoker trait to disappear after a long withdrawl

[rancid edge]

speaking of gambling, are there any casinos in LV? If there aren't, I hope they add slot machines or something that we can destroy or use to diminish unhappiness

[humble pagoda]

Fuckin' true, I forgot this was in the 90's. Did they even have medicine back then, or did you like trepan people to get the evil spirits out of their bodies?

[shell galleon]

at least we know for sure we can grow tobacco in b42, Tegridy Farms Kentucky version almost

[glossy shadow]

We were all about Bloodletting back then

[gray nymph]

lmao bruh

[humble pagoda]

Ah, right.

[glossy shadow]

😂

[thorn wigeon]

since cigerettes are in PZ why not some cigars lol

[gray nymph]

going to the nearest barber to prevent zombification

[humble pagoda]

Gonna get my humours balanced

For some reason I keep feeling awful after not drinking water for three days.

Dunno why

[slate vapor]

Medicine in many fields was somewhat similar to today, mostly in less optimal means, but for time reference the game starts in 93 and the paper that started the MMR scare was written 5 years after the game starts in our timeline

[slate vapor]

"For some reason"

[humble pagoda]

You're starting to get that I'm yanking your chain 😂

[rancid edge]

lol what about essential oils or herbs?

[humble pagoda]

Use my chakra crystals to disable the zombie's pressure points after embedding them into a baseball bat

[glossy shadow]

oh those weren't discovered until 2000~

[keen prawn]

in 90s there was this dude Kashpirovsky from Russia that was exercising healing practices by staring at you out of television

bet he could have cured the knox virus

[humble pagoda]

1000%

I can feel my severe kidney damage being healed simply from the png alone.

I don't even think I'll have to go see my trepanning guy

[keen prawn]

he also have a magic ability to "charge" water with healing powers. Simply put a jar in front of your TV and that's it. Seriously, people did believe in this

Omg little game pop up windows

[glossy shadow]

😍

[humble pagoda]

Cheaper than proper healthcare, atleast.

[rancid edge]

imagine NPCs raising their shop prices when you beat them at a game of UNO

[gray nymph]

lol bruh

can i get a can of beans please? npc: no

[humble pagoda]

Peak

I want some petty-ass NPCs

[gray nymph]

lol old grumpers

[humble pagoda]

Trench clubs are coming OUT when the monopoly board shows up

[sonic stream]

I'll killem for a can o beans

[glossy shadow]

and then blaming it on inflation and supply chain issues

[humble pagoda]

Real

I imagine just some shop owner being beaten in checkers, and manually adjusting all the prices in the shop with a sharpie

[rancid edge]

your character: “no can of beans at your shop, you say?”

NPC: sweats “I’ll check the storage out back”

[gray nymph]

lol

the uno snapper

[weary sorrel]

i would honestly hope that NPCs can be petty like this

[glossy shadow]

I really want supply and demand to be a thing in it - so I can be a traveling merchant moving goods from area to area

[cold river]

hopefully they expand on currency system with npcs that then MP servers can take advantage of to implement good systems into their servers

kinda like how fallout has bottlecaps as currency

[livid crystal]

honestly seems like i'll be coming in at a good time. Right before an update

[cold river]

2 more days

[weary sorrel]

if PZ wants to go for something completely realistic, each NPC might accept different currencies or prefer bartering

in a real apocalypse there's a non-zero chance that money will still stick around

[thorn wigeon]

lol swords not being a good weapon in a zombie apocalypse well cutting the zombies head off will possibly kill it or the head would still be alive.

[native solar]

Thursdoid in 36 hours

[tardy rover]

We'll be seeing horses this time. I can feel it

[native solar]

No...

[rancid edge]

instead (and to mess with us) we'll be hearing faint horse noises when exploring the forests in B42 unstable

[humble pagoda]

Gonna suck when your sword gets stuck in a zed bone

Short blunt ftw

Trench clubs are cheaper, stronger, and cooler than a sword could ever be.

[glossy shadow]

Poke the zombie in the eye socket🤺

[humble pagoda]

Just headshot all zombies all the time

[glossy shadow]

depending on the sword I suppose

[glossy shadow]

pretty much!

[humble pagoda]

EZ

Doesn't address the whole 'trench clubs are cheaper and cooler' point, though.

[rancid edge]

gonna take lots of training to wield a sword well. It’s easier to concentrate the force of an axe or mace like the video mentions

[grave torrent]

Frogs.

are non perishable foods

until you cut them

[keen prawn]

i take it that you need to eat them whole, right?

[grave torrent]

no sir you can not eat a whole frog like its a pill

you must filet it then eat it

[gray nymph]

Lol

[full cove]

I wouldn't take water from the river because you never know how many decomposing zombies are in or near the water (I wouldn't risk getting infected) + industrial facilities / sewage treatment plants will eventually collapse

Because of lack of maintenance

[grave torrent]

i remember i took a swig straight from the river, died 2 minutes later

would not recommend

[glossy shadow]

[rancid edge]

[grave torrent]

[night gust]

Theorically something like this should possible, Devs already said that their purpose with the new crafting system is make so that every player/NPCs could get specialised only on some specific tasks, making so that advanced server/games should see a sort of mediaeval civilization, where every player/NPCs have a specific role, for example carpenter ecc

This anyway is their final ghoul on 1.0, so don't expect nothing of so advanced on B43 for NPCs.

May be you could get this through players on MP on B42 but to emulate it with NPC on single player we will probably need to wait 1.0.

[sonic stream]

Their final ghoul? Sounds spooky

[lunar glen]

Imagine, near the start, people continue to use old currency, but then people, as the Knox Infection worsens on the news, start to phase out cash with bartering, or some other currency like gold bars/jewelry, and then, in the late stage, just accept any valuable commodity for them.

[night gust]

😆

[humble pagoda]

Finally gonna get a chance to pawn off all this worthless fucking gold

Universal currency is a goofy concept. It'll never catch on. Barter ftw

I wonder how many cabbages a copy of Project Zomboid would be worth. 20 sounds about right. This'd be the point where I'd have to tag a dev, though.

[lost plank]

Considering all we've know about the Know Infection so far are rumors, does anyone know if the devs have plans to expand on the lore and reveal what caused it? Like, the origins of the Knox Infection, or is it always going to be a mistery?

[slate vapor]

I hope they don't. I think the game is better with it as an open question

I'd rather they expand on the things that were happening right up until shit hit the fan, and then leave some of it as suspicious

[lost plank]

yeah i feel you, suspense can be such a powerful storytelling tool, still I can't help but wonder xD

honestly I would be fine with either way, would just like to know how they would prefer to approach it

[humble pagoda]

I don't give a damn about mystery or intrigue, I care about blasting Paleorock in the forest all day and hunting for mammoth.

I want them to let Pat out of his cage not to write more humanizing stories in diaries and newspapers, but to make stories out of cave paintings with the art team. I want a little radio made out of twigs and rocks that you can hear caveman talkshows on.

[glossy shadow]

I like the idea of hinting at things but never revealing it directly

[gray nymph]

same

[weary sorrel]

I feel like if we got too into the ‘why’s of the lore it’ll only cheapen it and make it feel like a narrative

Focusing strictly on how it affects survivors helps make Zomboid feel way more like a zombie survival game than any other, in my opinion

[rigid skiff]

I don't think animals in Project Zomboid will simulate what happens when shedding antlers.

I mean, it would be too insane to encounter that. 1 in 10 million chance you will encounter one.

[sonic stream]

Why won't the game simulate the dividing of cells in our bodies that occurs every day

[rancid edge]

Thursdoid in 12 hours!

…

edit: for those reading back on the messages and wanting to correct me, I'm aware the blog post won't release in exactly 12 hours or anything like that. Just looking forward to and counting down when Thursday (the day itself) dawns upon us 😄

[glossy shadow]

🎉

[humble pagoda]

Is that in metric, or imperial?

[quartz zinc]

HELL YEAH

[shell galleon]

lots of PZ addicts on suicide watch in 12 hours 1 minutes

[humble pagoda]

New Zomboid comes out "Hey, we were joking about Build 42 lmao"

[glossy shadow]

Not a great joke.

[humble pagoda]

If they had me as their community manager, shit would go downhill so fast.

[shell galleon]

people are gonna be livid if no more precise release window

[rancid edge]

You Have Half a Day

In 43200 seconds (12 hours), your trip back to Discord will become Hell on Earth...

[shell galleon]

I'm sure you've seen how passionate and rabid some people may be when devs don't release stuff exactly on the second some prophet second-guessed

[humble pagoda]

😂

[rancid edge]

then hordes of PZ enthusiasts will spawn outside nasKo’s home when the Thursdoid releases

[shell galleon]

Where was nasKo graffiti again in-game? that warehouse in Muldraugh?

[rancid edge]

that’s one place you can find it. nasKo is all over Knox Country

[shell galleon]

burn it all in 12 hours if no -enter infinite amount of b42 related demands-

[rancid edge]

if no Huge Spiffo with an encumbrance of 10 and no Spiffo’s Secret Sauce, we riot and burn it all

[slate vapor]

Release date

[shell galleon]

"when it's ready"

[humble pagoda]

I know for Combat Extended the joke was that when anybody asked about when the update would be done, you'd answer 'two weeks'. The idea is that the annoying people would leave you alone for two weeks and either forget about it, or be told to wait two more weeks in two weeks. I don't think that'll work with TIGS, but it's a funny thought.

[glossy shadow]

Yes, hell I am passionate. I don't expect you to understand, all I am saying is you don't know what people have been through in their lives.

[slate vapor]

I don't think it would work for indie stone because if they went from When it's Ready to 2 weeks people would immediately know that something was up

[shell galleon]

Sure, been there myself personally regarding the topic you refer to, but as its not a good topic in PZ discord, I'll happily avoid using such wording in jokes and humor in future if that helps

[glossy shadow]

❤️

[gray nymph]

lol

[humble pagoda]

I'm all for TIGS having far less restraint than they do now. I wanna see Soul Filcher go up to someone saying how the update would go so much faster if they just used AI programming and hit them with an RKO. I want Spiffo to come in swinging with a steel chair.

[glossy shadow]

Build the NPCs so the NPCs can build the game

[shell galleon]

Can we have a very athletic zed wearing the Spiffo suit being a miniboss, a nightmare that is hard to put down in normal means

[humble pagoda]

However, since it has not happened yet despite all of my prayers and letters, I am forced to patiently wait and write dumb shit on the news discussion.

[gray nymph]

lol

im sure they love our ideas

[humble pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/galaxy-brain-meme-gif-25947987

[gray nymph]

like like when can wear buckets for hats

[glossy shadow]

🤣

[shell galleon]

I'd be impressed if one day they'd implement a random idea found in degenerate topics such as b42 waitroom channels

[gray nymph]

LOL

magazine like those found that are just lies and weird stuff like 2 headed bat baby cow

but its just random weird shit people have asked for over the years lol

[humble pagoda]

Given the poor bastards would have to read all this, It'd be like a monkey's paw.

No human could withstand this without being twisted by the evil mankind holds in our hearts and/or chatrooms.

[gray nymph]

lol

[shell galleon]

I want to live like a dwarf, diggy diggy hole...already forgot if it was denied that digging underground rooms will be doable, or implied it can happen but with limits

[rancid edge]

Huge Spiffo with an encumbrance of 10 is not weird 💩

[gray nymph]

huge spiffo we can go inside

[rancid edge]

also, I see TIGS in the messages so I can compelled to send

[glossy shadow]

I still love this ^

[humble pagoda]

Going Z -1000 in Build 42, my CPU has my room warmed to the fucking Planck temperature.

[gray nymph]

lol i didnt notice this lol

[shell galleon]

I'd be content with just 1 underground layer if I could make a network of tunnels

[gray nymph]

i wanna live in a sewer

[shell galleon]

don't think I'd otherwise be able to breach Fort Knox

[glossy shadow]

sewer liiiiife

[humble pagoda]

I wanna live in a cave.

[shell galleon]

sewer rat life 4 lyfe

[gray nymph]

wait will temperature be different in differtent levels

[shell galleon]

preserving food without electricity meta??

[gray nymph]

LOL NOOOOOOOOO

unless cheese

[rancid edge]

as long as Pennywise zombie isn’t down in the sewers, I’ll gladly go live there

[gray nymph]

rofl honestly

[humble pagoda]

I thought of random hills and shit, but just make it thickass walls with a wideopen door.

[shell galleon]

if Pennywise wants that rat corpse as a snack that is between my starvation and my salvation, Pennywise is the one having Extreme Panic

[gray nymph]

just eat him too

[rancid edge]

Imagine having a bed, like some kind of fuckin' royal.

[glossy shadow]

😂

[shell galleon]

better question is, does Kentucky have more underground facilities than just some minor sewers or cellars? Askin' because I know for a fact my country has an extensive underground "city" space under the capital city

sunlight is harmful for PZ degenerates

[glossy shadow]

I donno about facilities, but Kentucky has an extensive cave network that runs throughout it

lol sauerkraut den

[glossy shadow]

I love sauerkraut

[gray nymph]

its cabbage right?

[glossy shadow]

yee

[rancid edge]

that ought to fuel the cabbage meta even more lol

[glossy shadow]

fermented cabbage

[gray nymph]

i love cabbage but cant eat it lol

[glossy shadow]

oh no!

[gray nymph]

NO

[glossy shadow]

I also love kimchi (also fermented cabbage, but with spicyness)

[shell galleon]

it is now 11 hours until thursdoid

[glossy shadow]

https://tenor.com/view/tigger-bouncing-dancing-dancing-tiger-dance-gif-18325898

my body is ready to read more details about this game that I love

[shell galleon]

allegedly

[glossy shadow]

it usually drops about 12pm my time (PST)

[shell galleon]

would be 8pm my time

which is perfect

[glossy shadow]

BST? haha I just was looking at that to see when it was

[shell galleon]

no wait, I'm dumb, 11 hours is 8am haha

[rancid edge]

imagine zombies devouring your flesh and all they taste is the 1000 cabbages you ate in the last month

[thorn wigeon]

tomorrow is going to be fun once that dev blog is posted

[shell galleon]

thursdoid when: electric boogaloo 2

and new news discussion thread to defile

[thorn wigeon]

we need military zombies with guns on them

[shell galleon]

We have them...?

[thorn wigeon]

finds undead soldier but no gun no wonder they died they didn't have gun to kill the zombies.

[shell galleon]

I guess I never found a military zed with bigger guns, at best a small firearm

[thorn wigeon]

every military zombie I have ever found seems to lack a pistol or rifle on their corpse.

[rancid edge]

they likely succumbed to the airborne virus variant

so unaware of any imminent and physical zombie threat, there was no immediate need for a gun

[shell galleon]

They're all in the underground section of the military base, the elevator shaft proves it!

[thorn wigeon]

airborn virus is like a thanos snap

[shell galleon]

Need some floor traps to get pet zeds into a cellar made into a shooting range for that aiming exp and weird RP

[slate vapor]

Ah yes, ai programming
Because zomboid needs to be even more poorly optimized

[rancid edge]

Soul Filcher performing an RKO would be amazing lol PZ ratings and sales would skyrocket

[slate vapor]

What with the new grapple system, the software backbone is there

[lost bone]

you can occasionally find undead soldiers with firearms but theyre very rare

most of them dont carry weapons since they very likely dropped them when they got sick or attacked by the undead

although its standard issue for soldiers to have rifle slings but theres no garuntee every soldiers uses them

[surreal rampart]

it's quite odd that they don't have a holster, makes sense they wouldn't have a rifle though, if you died you most likely did it holding said rifle and dropped it

[rancid edge]

barring any fair and reasonable explanations, it’s a game after all gotta maintain balance by not having all players in a MP server rapidly stockpiling M16 assault rifles in their safe-houses

[thorn wigeon]

for a single player it would not be too much of an issue

military backpack on the soldier zombies dont even have any loot unlike the surivivor zed.

[grave torrent]

b42 is a hypnotic hallucinatioon

[surreal rampart]

I feel like all backpacks need some kind of flavor loot

[glossy shadow]

😍 This is the dream

[thorn wigeon]

finding a chocolate bar on a zombie corpse

[surreal rampart]

notebooks, pencils, skill books maybe, a couple of batteries

[thorn wigeon]

imagine looting some MRE foods from military bases and even on zombies.

[full cove]

It's good to hear PZ isn't becoming a power fantasy.

[rancid edge]

in vanilla, there's a chance for the military backpacks to have beef jerky, a hunting knife, and dog tags in it (and flashlight too probably) but that's it so far iirc. Hopefully they'll expand the military backpack's loot table to include the chance of it coming with a compass, a magnesium firestarter or matchbox, and a switch blade or handiknife too

[sonic stream]

They should let zombies shoot at you

Like stalker

[gray nymph]

noo lol wth

[rancid edge]

they should let sprinter zombies cling on your head like the Jockey

[sonic stream]

We need Tank And witches

[humble pagoda]

Yeah, you get it

[shell galleon]

8 hours to go, surely we will see the thursdoid then

[lunar glen]

Place your bets for the drop time of tomorrow's Thursdoid:

ALL TIMES ARE IN UTC
🕛 11AM - 1PM
🕑 1PM-3PM
🕓 3PM-5PM
🕕 5PM-7PM
🕗 7PM-9PM
🕙 9PM-11PM

[surreal rampart]

I'd rather just wait silently and patiently

[lunar glen]

I like getting surprised during lunch and getting hyped while eating.

[tardy rover]

I'd rather place bets about the content. I feel we are going to see horses

[surreal rampart]

👆

[rancid edge]

11 PM to 1 PM. My predictions: updates on MP issues + features, anything about how the GrappleTech is coming along, more details about the planned food/cooking overhaul, and a glimpse into lock-picking

[pine forge]

I feel like horses are something that would've been shown off a little

[tardy rover]

Horses weren't possible till grapple tech and they said they are focusing on finishing what they already have so... We might not see horses for a while

[lunar glen]

We literally won't see horses within the next 2 years at minimum. They've got a lot more ways to explore the grapple tech. Like better PvP melee combat.

They basically said that we now maybe have the possibility that we'll see mounts in this game.

[surreal rampart]

you have zero info to back that up dude

[lunar glen]

The 2 years minimum thing is my personal estimate. And when I say "see," I mean, any further mention of.

While perhaps not for 42, in which we mainly plan to use GrappleTech during the beta period to polish existing rough spots of character interaction in the current game, this is the gateway to all sorts of potential gameplay.

The key word here is ‘potential’ (potential!) but this does mean that one day we’ll be able to consider stuff like zombies grabbing players and dragging them through windows, dragged zeds being dumped into pits and graves, animal attacks and tramples, or even (maybe? who knows) mountable steeds one day.
-https://projectzomboid.com/blog/news/2024/04/dya-like-them-grapplez/

Yeah, the grapple system itself is probably not even coming INTO B42.

[echo locust]

Content bets? Maybe a tiny nod towards a second axis of rotation for placed items

Actually, not maybe. Definitely. If I had to make a safe and totally guaranteed guess it would be that. And by tiny nod I mean ten paragraphs about being able to rotate placed items on another axis in b42

[glossy shadow]

My body is ready to rotate things in multiple directions

(without a mod)

[shell galleon]

3 hours until thursdoid, good night and good luck all b42 enthusiasists

[tardy rover]

I just want to hang tools and weapons on the wall

[rain adder]

As any young, healthy body should be. If you can't rotate in multiple directions go see a doctor.

[glossy shadow]

My body is not young anymore, not old, but definitely not young 😆

Old man, trapped in a slightly younger man's body

👴

[tardy rover]

Is thursdoid the blog or the day? Like... Is the entire day of tomorrow considered a thursdoid or a thursdoid Thursday????

[rancid edge]

I'd consider Thursdoid a blog post

"Thursdoid tomorrow" is saying "blog post tomorrow"

also I'm hoping we'll get a functional chainsaw in B42

[tardy rover]

The texture and model are already in game, so I guess that's the plan. They have to figure out dismemberment first

[gray nymph]

is that a spiffo saw

[rancid edge]

🪚⛓️

[native solar]

THURSDOID

It's Thursday

[glossy shadow]

Now that it is a monthly thing I consider it the day

A day to celebrate 🎉

[surreal rampart]

they've been in for so long I'm not sure, then again with all these new status bars for tools perhaps they could

[glossy shadow]

They were added in B41 IWBUMS if I recall correctly

[humble pagoda]

IWHBYD, BADBMOTF.

[bitter oak]

It's been in there since forever

[keen prawn]

One of the mods I use (not sure which one) makes it "kinda usable". The problem with chainsaw, or at least the one I tried, is that it has a 1 second attack animation. It doesn't sound much but yk all it takes is one bite. Also, it needs fuel and it's loud, so basically any other weapon is better.

[shell galleon]

tfw no thursdoid blog post at the time someone totally reputable told it will happen at

[native solar]

I make jokes, thursdoids are really Fridoids for me as I am Australian. They're usually around sometime in the morning for me

So about 9-10 hours from now, I should sleep soon anyway

[shell galleon]

the prophecy of the blog stated it was bound to happen 8 hours ago

[native solar]

Where is this ancient prophecy

[shell galleon]

someone random said it yesterday on this channel and it became popular among the desperate worshippers

[native solar]

Gotcha

So, my bet's some time between 1PM EDT and 5PM EDT

Question is if it'll come out before or after 3PM

[keen prawn]

i'm pretty sure it's gonna be 9PM-11PM

13AM is my bet.

nasKo, what is KZK thinking right now?

[fallen flume]

Hopefully that they should shower and brush their teeth

After a healthy breakfast

[shell galleon]

imagine Indie Stone promoting healthy lifestyle by releasing important release date info so fanatics could take a shower and be able to sleep

[humble pagoda]

Lmao

"Where thursoid"

[shell galleon]

You can witness the birth of your children many times throughout life, but b42 first playable build info can be released only once in a lifetime

[humble pagoda]

'Tis true.

I imagine the internet being made, and some bright-eyed nerd going on about how this will revolutionize science and potentially lead to folks being more understanding and, perhaps, empathetic towards each other.

Fast forward to now and there's us

[sonic stream]

Are you sticking your children back in there or what?

[humble pagoda]

You can have more than one child in a lifetime, Jarinex

But also

[humble pagoda]

Infinite birthday hack?

[shell galleon]

PZ never has or will let us have children being born in-game, but let me tell you a secret. You can make multiple children in real life, at separate occasions

meanwhile in real life, I'm getting 2 baby bunnies very soon(tm) for me and me wife, hopefully b42 has live bunnies too, not just trapped ones

Thursdoid when??

[humble pagoda]

Friday

[shell galleon]

today

[fleet vale]

zamn

[fleet vale]

fake info

[humble pagoda]

💯

[umbral vapor]

you missed it

[fleet vale]

😭

[shell galleon]

if a thursdoid would become a fridoid, how can humanity cope with the laws of the universe just ceasing to be

[humble pagoda]

The usual way

Project Zomboid

It's how we got through the world wars.

[umbral vapor]

I'm a monk at this point, nothing fazes me

[shell galleon]

until they make a tazer in-game just for you whenever you step into a pvp server

[umbral vapor]

wai let me check something

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-success-epic-embed-fail-gif-21239189

epic

[prisma ibex]

It's gonna be a great Thursdoid ladies!

[fleet vale]

Build 42 is a myth

[humble pagoda]

This is true

[umbral vapor]

we are gonna get build 41.9 guys

trust me

[fleet vale]

I never said I didn't

[humble pagoda]

"Build 42" will come out and it will be a 3TB file full of the oldest possible memes

Y'all remember 'dat boi'?

That's about 20GB of the update.

[shell galleon]

tbh I lost my hair irl when I waited for b41, so now I have very little to lose even if thursdoid blog doesn't deliver perfection

[humble pagoda]

How can you play PZ with no hair?

[fleet vale]

It was supposed to be an expanded crafting update
now they're adding anything but npc's

[shell galleon]

because the game lets me to re-grow hair since all our characters at least used to be like what, 23 years old by default

[umbral vapor]

[humble pagoda]

The peak of a human being. Too underdeveloped at 22, far too weak and fragile at 24.

[shell galleon]

becoming bald saves irl carry capacity for hair gels and other supplies when your irl strenght isn't that high

its called minmaxing traits

[humble pagoda]

I'd rather die than give up my hair product

Folks will ditch their toothbrush and toothpaste to 'save weight' and look at you like this:

[shell galleon]

how can other people judge me if they can't see me

I'm inside to play b42

[rigid skiff]

When we judge B42 to be ready.

[lunar glen]

GIVE ME THE THURSDOID!

[prisma ibex]

Wow, as soon as I read the post about chopsticks already in the base game I finally found them for the first time.
I think they upped the loot chance just for that post.

[rancid edge]

you’re right lol almost 4800 messages. Maybe we’ll reach 5000 before the next blog post

[keen prawn]

i think there will be more than 5k

[rigid skiff]

Honestly, I disliked how people are literally begging for a Thursdoid.

It will show up when it's ready.

[shell galleon]

What did you expect when it is the last thursday of the month

it's not like people are megaserious about frenzying over the blog, just killing time in anticipation and being degenerate

[lunar glen]

I know, I know. I'm begging mostly ironically

[shell galleon]

meanwhile could find one of those drinking bird devices and put it to press F5 on PZ blog site

[humble pagoda]

Nah, each time I beg the game gets that much closer to being updated.

Only me though, and I never beg.

[rancid edge]

imagine if Thursdoids were in-person events. We’d all be conversing at tables feasting on cherry pie. There’d be Spiffo-themed tablecloths, banners, mugs, balloons and everything. We all anticipate nasKo’s speech at a podium and a slideshow of the new upcoming features but he has yet to emerge from the curtains

[shell galleon]

That is an irrefutable fact. Every second spent typing, literally means b42 is a second closer. Even if it was delayed 1000 years, seconds keep ticking...

[fleet urchin]

I managed to sneak out a small piece of the Thursdoid without anyone noticing

[shell galleon]

mi?

mime zombies?

[fleet urchin]

It's all I could smuggle out before the alarms went off

[wise tree]

spanish town update

[pine forge]

That's the M confirmed for b42

[wise tree]

YO WAIT good idea

its crazy how louisville doesnt have any parts of towns for different ethnicities like chinatown etc

[humble pagoda]

Pat_Bren, writer, Irish, cool dude, information smuggler

[wise tree]

would spice up lv a lot ngl

[shell galleon]

Pat did you mirror that small piece to make it harder for "them" to catch you? so "mi" becomes "im"...and im = immediate release of b42

[humble pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/theres-more-gif-23888098

[shell galleon]

Or worse...mi = minor delay

[humble pagoda]

Or, mi = MInecraft, Project Zomboid is going to be updated to a voxel-based system

[shell galleon]

Project Minecraft

[keen prawn]

or, next millennium

[shell galleon]

collab event

Who knows, that small piece could be just speech-to-text data, all the "mi mi mi mi" cacophony about b42 release date demands

[humble pagoda]

MIllenium falcon? Star Wars PZ aswell?

[rocky linden]

midnight?

[shell galleon]

Cory knows

[humble pagoda]

I'm skeptical about the Star Wars/Minecraft/Project Zomboid collab, but I'm willing to try it out.

[shell galleon]

that must be it, midnight for the blog could still be within thursday for multiple timezones

[rancid edge]

maybe the mi is a part of the word “midday”

Thursdoid release time confirmed

[shell galleon]

but the indie stone is mostly european, and european midday is long past 😦

[prisma ibex]

!roadmap

[turbid quest]

Read about the roadmap in more detail here:

Current Roadmap simplified:

[rigid skiff]

Mamma "Mi"a

[shell galleon]

Spiffo's pasta restaurant would be dope too, all that flour, pasta stored, food for months

[rigid skiff]

Actually, it will be cool to grind up your own flour from corn crops in B42.

I can totally see myself being a pizza chef

[shell galleon]

yeah, I've only seen more industrial machines in blogs, but if we can make up our own

a more primitive mill

[rigid skiff]

Alright, you convinced me that delaying b42 is good, so we can have this in. 😄

[shell galleon]

a quiet farming life in the deep forest, no zeds in sight

[rancid edge]

wot is this Indie Stone you speak of? Did you not hear that they changed their company name? It’s the Indie Game Store now

be sure to spread the word

[shell galleon]

don't scare me like that, had to google

[humble pagoda]

Occasionally raided by bloodthirsty neolithic cosplayers.

[shell galleon]

be sure to visit a local zoo for your mammoth-esque creatures

[rancid edge]

[visual vector]

who is hype

i am! >_<

[glossy shadow]

[glossy shadow]

I was not expecting it to go up that much lol 😆

[fallen flume]

I want your badge and gun on my desk first thing tomorrow morning

[glossy shadow]

[shell galleon]

[rancid edge]

[lost bone]

aw man, pat's gonna be taken out back to get "taken care of"

[glossy shadow]

Don't worry he is going to a nice farm with other writer/cool dudes

[astral jasper]

#patdidnothingwrong

[rancid edge]

I read somewhere that Pat Bren is ChatGP||(a)||T. They can’t fire Pat. They need him and he’s the only one who could do the job

in fact, they should give him a promotion

[fallen flume]

PatGPT was right there and you fudged it

[shell galleon]

creative juices do not work properly without sustenance of b42

feed your gamer-slaves and then expect better

[humble pagoda]

PatGPT is a legal trademark of The Indie Game Store

[shell galleon]

taken, sorry

[humble pagoda]

Yeah, that's the website they made.

Insomnium just saved you from the biggest AI-powered lawsuit in history

[shell galleon]

something tells me the site was created by AI alright

[humble pagoda]

😂

[fallen flume]

That's just specifically for the latin speaking population

Both of them

[shell galleon]

Ah, gonna turn my scope towards the Vatican then, when red smoke of nasKo appears, the new thursdoid has been chosen

[humble pagoda]

Mexico and Rome?

Ignore that you read that.

All of you.

[fallen flume]

Shall do

lol

[humble pagoda]

It's hot out.

[fallen flume]

You could be anywhere in the world rn

[humble pagoda]

[fallen flume]

It was raining and storming very briefly here earlier today and now it's back to melting

[rancid edge]

facepalm

[shell galleon]

And you didn't think it was just Pat casting magicks to distract you while he visited the vault

[cold river]

Thursdoid.

me need

me feen

me covet

[surreal rampart]

shoo child, back to your room. We will call you when dinner is ready

[cold river]

yes mother

[lunar glen]

Was literally hailing last night where I am.

[glossy shadow]

It's a nice 23c here

that's 73.4 for you "freedom" lovers

[shell galleon]

was brief snow earlier this month for me despite day temps being well over 16c

[rancid edge]

you mean 296.15 K kelvins? Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are rather outdated and silly

[keen prawn]

Oh really? Your fancy Kelvin is just good old Celsius+273

[grave torrent]

mmm seasoned..

[glossy shadow]

Centigrade

[visual vector]

that is incredibly cool

it was 83 this morning at 9

[glossy shadow]

I fully expect it to go up to 86f later today 😆

[visual vector]

rookie numbres

[cold river]

a week ago it was over 34° where i am 😅 or 93°

now i’m chilling 22° or 71°

[glossy shadow]

same!

roughly around there anyway

[rancid edge]

Kelvins can be used anywhere in the universe given that it uses a universal constant and is based on the properties of gas. Way more accurate 🤓

[glossy shadow]

on an entirely different note I found another pz frog on my house

[cold river]

[rancid edge]

[hasty drift]

[fallen flume]

Car insurances must hate those days

Speaking of, I would like to speak to you about your extended warranty

[glossy shadow]

😆

[north lance]

Sooo new thursdoid soon

how lovely

[cold river]

what’s the algorithm for the time it released idk

[north lance]

around like... 30 minutes- an hour from now?

[cold river]

is it just simply editing till it’s ready or is it sitting
