and isopod talk
all land tetrapods evolved from fish at one point
they remain within the clade fo fish
therefore humans are fish
and so are all terrestrial tetrapods
What about non aquatic isopods
Are they still fitshe
are we gonna get another platos man situation
-swims
-breathes underwater
this is a fish
and this also means that both whales nd dolphins are fish
this is also true
if: looks like fish
then: fish
also insects are crustaceans dont forget taht one
they evolved to go on land and then evolved to go back in the water
thanks Clint's Reptiles
mfs went "fuck go back"
"i do not vibe with this universe"
some sort of shrimp ✅
thank you arthropod user
IS THAT A WEEVIL
yes
scandalous critter
the only other one i can think of is birds being dinosaur but i feel like taht one is more well know by now
me (a bond villain) watchin his video on my ideal pet (blacktip reef shark)
Weevil stands for Wee Bit Evil
i cant remember what type of animal sea urchins were actually
this fucked up being is not a shrimp
they're echinoderms
oh great i was gonna sell my stuff i found exploring hyrule
every insect is a shrimp if you stop to think about it....
they're all crustaceans but not shrimps
what do you call a frog's skin
a frogs skin
echinoderms are starfishes btw?
echinoderms r starfish and sea urchins and stuff like that ye
the weird Sentient Rocks
how are the shrimps echinoderms
no i meant sea urchins
and then insects
all animals are plants that can't photosynthesize if you think about it
oh
then we adapted 
they aren't
animals are actually more of mushrooms than plants
animals didn't evolve from plants
because mushrooms are closer to animals than plants
why do we still have the appendix then
just like mammals didn't evolve from reptiles either
we just suck
yeah
yeah
the mammals evolved from reptiles thing has been around
for way too long
when its literally not true
god i still feel embarrased about that fumble i made
platypus are mammals right
yess
yeah
I only learned about it the other day from throudon
it's okay
ok if god does exist what was he on when he created platypus
if god is not actually real how did evolution lead to platypus is our world an anomaly in that regard
And I only learned about that TOday
what was god on when he created pangolins
i can be your angle or your weevil
i love non-mammal synapsids
convergent evolution

so based
dimetredon and some secret second thing
trasher redesign
they just chillin
ANT?
anteoWHAT
the environment that gave rise to the platypus just so happened to match what made the beavers evolve their tails and what mad ehte ducks evolve their bills
one of the largest paleozoic synapsids
something like that
why is it called a saurus
That's a big dog
what do you think platypus' taste like
alot of animals that arent dinosaurs have -saurus in their name
perrious
hm...
it does mean Lizard and not Dinosaur to be fair
still sort of wrong given it's not a reptile but
you can find this out for yourself if you're willing to break the law
there's a dinosaur called Thanos so it's not like they make much sense most of the time anyways
like beaver
have you seen the barack obama spider
tgats... a name
dont dinosaurs not really fit modern definitions of reptiles
they are reptiles
i love archosaurs
what are the modern definitions of a reptile?
I'm pretty sure clade defines what they are
They are reptiles but they don't fit the Objectively Wrong Middle School Definition of Reptiles Why do they keep Teaching This it's literally Wrong Stop Doing That ™️
you would NOT believe what scientists get up to when they find some random fuck all beetle or fungus that hasn't been named yet
all those definitions have exceptions and bent rules it's how you teach children
FELLOW AMERICANS
bro 😭😭😭
you really gonna go to an elementary school and go "yeah there's liquid solid and gas but have you little shits heard of PLASMA
we should all go back in time to destroy math
yeah but then they never teach the rest later on 😭
there's also at least two insects unfortunately named after hitler
have you heard of bose-einstein condensate my toddler?
Who's reimu
lets glooooooo
touhou
touhou reference
oh lol
is that reim
why did you have this ready
Minos Phrime is another one named after a videogame character
i vaguely remember a creature named after cirno but it might be a mandela effect and i also dont remembr what it was
it's one of my favorited gifs
bro ultrakill isn't even that old 😭
me when i kill hundreds of fairies:
I mean by that logic terraria is older than minecraft because it had its 1.0 out first
truee
i fucking love blood martinis
same thing really
blood is coke fuel from calmain
coke... what?
btw i just burnt my pot of beans
wait isnt there a bloodstone flamethrower that drains hp
that was gonna be my dinner
BEANS NOOOOOO
L
tragedy we must all go to mourning
wait
that was me i was so pretentious as a kid
eat them anyways
im not eating burnt beans
don't pass up on your nutrition
my condolonces
you need to eat
😦
true
facts
discord caused this
I agree with this message
woe
quick guys talk about fish
filth
Cambrians
i ate so much meat this week because the 18th was the (technically) day of independence for my country and the whole week was free
awesome
Fun Fact: there is a fish known as the Robust Assfish (thanks for letting me know this meowtopia)
whats meowtopia
server
true
i will sever your bloodstream.
have you guys seen the Aphrodite Sheep
i would not trust a place called meowtopia
aphrodite kallipygos sheep in particular
idk if you know her but it's owned by octolinggrimm
it's chill
it sounds like a place of great criminals
oh it is but it's also awesome
yeah gay people do crimes there
there's a women channel......
anyways aphrodite sheep
like a waterway?
they are very funny
let's not define that any further in this server

agreem
yeah sheep woohoo
i think rams are interesting
sheep lie from Minecraft?

Minecraft kinda eemind me of this oengame you may have heard of it it's called Terraria
And there's this mod for the game called Calamity and the main villain Is fucki yellow
No he's not a villain
peculiar
There is more than one yellow guy
Just like five nights at fewddys
There is more than one Freddy's
i was about to mention midnight motorist sob
How will the night gaurd survive with so many fredyd ?!?
by going to a restaurant with normal mascots that dont get haunted
Cooler option: call ghost busters
I'm rotting
but not in my bed
in my brain
one might call it brainrot
alternatively
depression
you know if william never murdered anyone how different would everything be
Well he would still design killer robots so
Only difference is fnaf 3 would never happen bc he would never get springlocked
hey... hey lorers
observe,,,
i was bored... so
i think i'm gonna do the fellow scoogs too
the annoying child
it seems like it would be very hard for a dnd character to fight a sandworm
just in general
they only pop out of the ground when attacking and then they basically just miss or swallow you whole
theres a few sandworms in dnd
and also a cave worm
a really really big cave worm
thats also purple
yes ik
especially the last one
that one stuck in my brain for some reason
mostly because how does it burrow through solid rock at a reasonable speed and not just leave a big opening behind it everywhere
Wait huh is Azafure legit a Britain-inspired nation or is it all jokes
Oh thats why scal is British
I think it's mostly jokes
though London was known for having absolutely abominable air quality during the industrial revolution
Nooooo
and azafure was doing industrial shit
That has to be a lie
and calamitas speaks britainese
Yu uh
You bloody mate I will boil you into pot of tea
have you watched the sbc video on DM Dokuro's channel she's explicitly british
She doesn’t do that
the 99% of the british population that doesn't say that:

You are bloody right mate
Thats londonese
yes they do but since azafure is only based on britain she doesn't have to
I will get the pots of tea ready
nuh uh
yuh huh
Yuh uh
when I created great britain I forced them to say that
I met a British guy who said that yesterday
Ah fair enough
Bloody hell! This Brimmy blud is destroying our bloody city! There’s also this one geezer doing the same thing! Alert the bloody king!
They're the funniest
also what is nucleogenesis? a pauldron?
star-tainted generator looks like a pauldron
statis' curse is a scarf
wait no
body armour?
I thought it looked like a belt
That does look like a scarf though
it does but also it goes so far down the torso
Terraria proportions probably
yeah
anyhow so we have a scarf(?) and a pauldron combining to make nucleogenesis
so what is it
i can sort of see it being a pauldron but also not really
i could go down the funky route and say it replaces your heart
since the way it pulsates reminds me of a heart to some extent
What does it look like when equipped
No equip sprite afaik
:(
i can see that and a pauldron equally
I think it looks like a stronger version of the star generator
Which doesn’t that look like a pauldron
It only looks like a pauldron because it's kinda similar to slagsplitter
What are we loring lorers
I don't think it's meant to be a pauldron though
Crusty as fuck images
You're crusty...
i think i'm gonna say generator is a pauldron, just because i like the idea, but yeah whether or not it actually is one is up for debate
Imo nucleogenesis would be a pauldron aswell
i can sort of see it, but imo it looks too close to a full circle for that
i'm sort of leaning on going down the route of it replacing your heart (or at least acting as an extra one, just it pumps mana rather than blood)
okay i tried to draw a diagram to show how full of a circle each one makes in my head but that didn't go well at all 💀
I think it looks like a... Spiral shell? Bicycle wheel with tentacles?
These do look like pauldrons, but they look equally like helmets or chest plates for that matter
The ones above I mean
I think the stat one is a generator pack thing
the top two circles are how full of a circle i personally can see in each of their sprites
the bottom left is how i imagine nucleogenesis to actually be if we could see other angles of it (related to the second heart idea, the hole is where mana it generates leaves to fill the body)
To me nucleo seems like star tainteds circle but the tentacles make it seem more like the circles you drew
Why does it have tentacles
mana leaking out in such high densities that it takes on a physical form is the first thing that came to my mind, but that's literally just "it's magic so it could probably do this"
i do wish that the class accessories of that tier each had a little tooltip describing them
from what i can see only eclipse mirror does
Tbh its looks like its a growth on you
Isn’t nanotech the ultimate class acc for rogue
Indeed
rogue has two accessories at post-dog
there's three actually
Rogue getting preferential treatment
Melee moment
Doesn’t melee have
Elemental gauntlet
As it’s post dog accessories
It does, but i was talking about the fact that melee gets a lot more content
Dark God Sheath
every class but rogue only has one dedicated class accessory iirc
uhh whats the ball thing
Nanotech
though summoner does benefit more from DSR, it still has uses for any class
is the the same as draedon heart or..
Isnt that like post ml or post lunatic cultist?
dark matter sheath is post cultist
I wish more cal acessories appeared on the player model
Oh yeah
rogue has three, then immediately gets another after yharon
post dog is eclipse mirror
eclipse mirror, nanotech and venerated locket
What is meld blob lore
Do we really need to count that in
space residue idk
Venerated locket
Flesh of the invaders
woah where did the kill times section on the weapon tierlist go?
I headcanon it as flesh from moonlord
I wish venerated locket was upgradeable
or
something that you could craft with cosmilite
not another cosmilite craft
how did hell did bandit got that in their hands

Or maybe
Make it so that only statis sell it
we made it, then bandit stole it from us and made us buy it from them
its like the equivalent of Batman saying Clark you work in my building youre paying me with my own money
I imagine the bandit grabbed a chunk of cosmilite that we missed from DoG's corpse
She escaped tax evasion by going there
why do you think Noxus made it
its his private island
To avoid xeroc tax duh
i just found these notes i wrote for an OC's encounter with cal and idk wtf kind of sleep deprivation i was on
i might still use the idea of the terrarian sensing cal's approach from far away during meditation
i think i'm just gonna delete that doc
That seems like sleep deprived beyond belief writing
thankfully i didn't try to write anything beyond notes because that would've been an absolutely miserable abomination to read
Sleep deprived you is a comedy writer
This is hilarious to read
if being behind on sleep made me funny i would never go to bed honestly
Well, do sleep it’s important
Just wrote a funny way on beating slime god
Since the paladins fire a lotta projectiles from their body, it would make sense that they would shrink from doing that
So as the god gets more desperate, they would spam them until they shrink so small they can be stomped to death
I also imagine the projectiles being corrosive
Yeah that is funny
It wouldn't surprise me if they can easily grow the slimes larger again
Or make slime from nothing
arm wavy
Bro thinks he’s a zombie
Or is she just dancing
Don’t you dare to hit me!
I’m glad scal will be destrawberrified
I want someone to draw scal but with a strawberry as a head
sacred strawberry
She getting jiggy with it
Gotta love how someone’s reasoning for calamity’s gods being like continental atleast is cause it doesn’t feel right that gods aren’t that comically strong
@fossil gyro Official wiki: https://calamitymod.wiki.gg/
It will no longer be updated nor maintained, and it is heavily vandalized with fake information.
Use the official Calamity Mod Wiki here at wiki.gg instead.
Congratulations

hooded calamitas with no eyes do be menacing tho
You’re approaching me?
When you leave the box
angery
https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Lore
@stoic gulch
that is the normal terraria lore:/
cal has different lore
@fossil gyro @stoic gulch check the pins of this channel
The whole ass lore document is there
yes i know
he said that the mechs were made to destroy the earth but in cal its just an expirement
i luv draedon lore
yeh
made from souls of peeps who probably fell to draedons charisma
and then declined from yharim cuz they have theyre own will
Ik dude what i was saying is, the vanilla bosses in calamity werent messed with gameplay wise, and the calamity "city level" bosses are stronger than them, so i think calling calam superbosses city level str is kinda dumb
time to do all of the cal animations but this time without the hood
The souls are from dead Yharim’s soldiers iirc
Yay!
yeh
wdym by this
terraria bosses cannot even break blocks outside of shitpost secret seeds
Especially with the existence of weapons like "planet buster"
what does gameplay have with their strength
oh okk but the power scaling in cal is weird
we dont really know how strong the gods or anyone really is
Stats and AI werent messed with
There are various estimations
most cal weapons are like if you took a regular ass stick, called it "Eviscerator of Unvierses" and told me it can destroy universes in one swing
its there to sound cool
the sea god in the pins is very spooky
One of the devs approximated Yharim’s power at around 300 or smth and Xeroc’s 3800
But that’s just one of the theories
Thats just one factor, in vanilla the bosses get stronger than city level
cause like how do you explain ark of the cosmos making a rip in space and it not literally oblitherating the world
technically post ML ur solar level
"one factor"
or stronger cuz i think a vortex is like a black hole
Exactly
and this is not vanilla
These mfs be tellin me scal is city level
vanilla bosses have completely different lore in calamity
But the vanilla bosses in calamity are unchanged
Scal’s feat on incinerating ilmeris was country level iirc
and with the lore that exists astrum deus should be solar level but Scal is like city-continent power
they receive gameplay changes in different modes
Vanilla power scaling goes higer than calamity
calamity changes vanilla bosses
Genuinely
Read the lore doc
Moon lord cthulhu void or what was that
Astronauts are solar level then
Inb4 a weapon description says that this random sword tore a fabric in reality
hyperbole to sound cool
Every Terraria mods powerscaling pretty much relyes on if moonlord is cuthulu or not
How far does the hyperbole go
again
theres nothing to back it up actually tearing the fabric of reality besides a tooltip
The Calamity Lore Document Hello, and welcome to the new Calamity Lore Document, also known simply as CAL. Here, I have collected all of the lore currently in the mod, and have curated it for easier consumption, including building a timeline based on the information given to us by the Lore i...
101 pages of lore
You have read zero
Youre telling me the perforator is human level
no
He a punk bitch in comparison to endgame superbosses and theyre only city lvl
any boss could easily kill a regular person
the scale just isnt completely off its shits
Please just read the lore doc
They have like 1000x its HP and like 20x its dmg
The power gaps are not too big
What is this guy on
it progresses relatively low because there's no reason for it to leave the planet
the game takes place on a single continent
I read the calamity lore wiki page awhile back
you're telling me there are all of these galaxy destroying monsters on one random ass planet
That is far from the doc
woman
king slime would take two dozen regular soldiers to beat, according to a lore writer
perforators are well beyond that
and none of them - not even the completely mindless weapons of destruction
true!!!
destroyed the planet?
U cant call them gods if they dont hold dominion over atleast a planet dude
Like atleast a continent
gods have a different definition in cal
really???
you can, because god /=/ omnipotence
havent seen one irl
like look at greek gods

they hold power over a specific domain while not being completely off the wall broken
The crystyl crusher doesnt even deal that much dps relative to superboss hp and it's beyond city level dude 😭
thats basically calamity gods, just a little more grounded in reality
crystyl crusher isnt canon
Gameplay≠lore
not everything translates from gameplay to lore
because this is, in fact, a mod with limitations
The problem is, the destroyer was kinda made to destroy the world of terraria, lorewise
Atom splitter low-multiverse level bs
THAT IS TERRARIA!!! This is calamity!
oh my gosh
Do you still not have a single idea what you are talking about
omfg
This guy gives me serious brain damage
The powercreep is THAT slow in calamity?
No it’s just big metal worm
ok there's no need to be that rude about it
we've said like 3000 times that calamity lore is different from vanilla because vanilla doesn't really treat its narrative seriously, at all
Thats the size of a city block?
vanilla does shit for the sake of it
yeah calamity stops at like country+
This is not Terraria lore
It’s a soul-driven warmachine redustributed to mining
Not a world destroyer
Bro
The eater of worlds should be planetary level!
Just check the name out!
Homie homie the destroyer's existence and design just makes it a city buster
Big metal worm with lasers and a massive mouth
So every boss thats stronger than it should be higher
No
Destroyer tho? Maybe
No it doesn't
Not necessarily
Calamity feels quite medieval so towns and stuff are a lot lot lot smaller than cities
Attack potency and destruction potential or whatever they’re called are different things
Power scaling is also just 95% bullshit
and EoW is a big worm with hundreds of eyes and mouths that spit damaging spit
calamity's technological progress is kind of all over the place
Just ignore the supertechnological horrors here and there
That’s what I love
Im pretty sure you can repurpose an industrial crane to destroy a city
If i steal the us nuclear codes does that make me planetary level? Huh
A block
Holy shit big metal worm is actually made of aliminium foil
Not really. These things are a lot less capable than you think
And the probes run of magic and lenses
The destroyer can definitely destroy a town
Yeah man
So why is my 6mil HP plasma shooting dragon not higher than city level
i could destroy a city given enough time by just mining it all up
does that make me city level
A real life human can destroy a mountain with a shovel, given centuries
In lore they are though, stats don’t affect lore
Power scaling is bullshit is why. The concept of "city level" or "planet level" makes no sense.
^
True but a lore writer used it
That doesn't matter
To say yharim, owner of said plasma dragon, is city level
City level is if you can destroy it in one attack
I think those deemed city level are ones that can destroy a city if they use all their power
What plasma dragon lmfaoooo
Wha
Answers have been given for people who want them
I think
mold
But idk
Yharim can punch a person through a mountain at maximum power
That's the amount of power available
Yes, but he’s a single human, a single person being city level is pretty damn strong
The dragon makes fire tornadoes but it's a big angry bird, it's not all powerful
So completely disregard vanilla lore and the moon lord having a celestial armada than can destroy the planet?
Yes
Yep
Not to mention exotechnology-powered armor along auric rejection
Vanilla lore not canon
Damn
Indeed
Thats his whole army
Took way too long.
Keep in mind, it's easy to overlook how powerful "city level" is
We don’t have celestial pillar lore for calamity and in vanilla the pillars bind moonlord away from the earth
Also vanilla moonlord = cuthulu
Calamity moonlord ≠ cuthulu
That’s stronger then most to all nukes
You would need an entire army of ordinary people with regular guns to kill slime god
^
Iirc in vanilla lore moon lord is cthulhu’s brother
If my vanilla terraria character is canonically stronger than my calamity character with 920 HP it just kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth
Nu uh
Yuh uh
Nu uh
Stats ain’t affecting the lore strength in calamity, more health in calamity doesn’t mean you’re above vanilla
That's too bad tbh. You can always just interpret vanilla lore to be something else
Well, the terrarian can be just as powerful as you want
The player character's lore is up to you
Oh god
You can say they're stronger
I mean if you consider the void Cthulhu moves as the Lovecraft void then moonlord is like in boundless
Remeber
Gameplay ≠ lore!
In vanilla
Terraria lore moment
Lovecraft is also stupid
Crawltipede is stronger than scal cus it does more dmg than one of its attacks ong
He was quite uneducated
Vanilla crawltipede prob is
Thas weird
Researching things was not really possible back then, mostly
It's not weird because vanilla lore is unreasonable
I mean yeah. But he did not understand a lot that he was writing about
With how vanilla is the fragment flavour text may not be metaphor or non canon
As is any lore that scales that high
Iy really is not
What. . . ?
Vanilla lore contradicts itself all the time, so it should all be ignored
To be fair lore is prob one of the last things relogic cares about making make sense
Terraria itself is not really a loreful game
Only source is basically the bestiary
You can barely feel the powecreep in calamity if all characters hover around city block and city tier
Base terraria powercreep makes more sense
No?
the collective
Not at all
Big rock to cuthulu
City block is like three sky scrapers, city level is like thousands
Also, this is a good thing, in writing terms
Stupid slime that killed a single ninja -> cthulhu's eyeball -> city destroying wall of flesh -> mechs that were intended to destroy the world -> celestial invasion to destroy the planet
It’s mostly that what city is it based on
Power scalers don't understand narrative importance of things at all
In calamity you have to cut that at around pre HM and stretch it
time to do catastrophe, cataclysm and the soul seeker
Yeah, that's stupid. Why does someone get that strong? Why should any story have that wide of a power range?
Cus aliens
ETs
You do know Cthulhu is basically a adjective to mean big and strong in calamity
Right?
No, it is very much gradual and reasonable. You just have to think about it in terms of how power of things actually works instead of the absurd 100x exponential scale that power scalers use
You can get around it if it is voven into the story
Celestial creatures are invading -> theyre capable of taking over entire solar systems
Solar systems don't exist in calamity
Thats fair
that just means they’re made of celestial matter
Which is fragments and meld blob
Wheres the great sand shark foight
The calamity universe has different physics that cannot be made equivalent
It’s a random predator so idk
It says theyre invading
Celestially
The fallen stars you see in game are real stars in calamity terms, the balls of gas we call stars in real life don't exist in calamity
This reminds me of the fact that my ”mods” (it does actually not exist). The sun rotates around the main planet
No, it says that the creatures are celestial (space related) and that they're invading
Astral meteor is bigger then normal stars since it’s bloated
They invaded from space means they have the means to wage intergalactic war
You could have fallen stars with legs and they'd be celestial creatures
No it doesn't
Not really, space is like not that far
They could be half way to the moon and it would be a celestial invasion
Have you seen space in terraria? It's like 200 ft above you
Moon lord reigns over the moon, it's a planet v moon conflict at the bare minimum
Nope
Thats just the exosphere ong
Moonlord not from moon
That's like saying your next door neighbor is invading
I think thats just the lower orbit
It’s called moonlord cause it’s trapped there
If it was really space you wouldnt fall back down
It's called space in game
In real space 0 grav
Planetoids are in low orbit
No, you would actually. That's not how space works
funny guy
Football
You dont fall is you are outside of earths gravitational pull
Technically you aren’t
Ok, in out of orbit space both you and earth's gravitational pull wouldnt be enough to pull
Since gravity doesn’t have a end just a point where it stops needing to be considered
It’s low enough to ingnore
Which is where moon lord is, way out
No, that's not how orbit works actually
Stuck in the moon
I will give you a physics lesson
Please dont make me pull g = Gm1m2/d² or whatever
May have gotten the denominator wrong
I took physics
Physics lesson: In real life, space starts 100 km up, as a completely arbitrary line. Being "in orbit" means you are falling downwards, but are moving sideways so fast that you always miss the ground. The moon, if it were moving sideways fast enough to make a full rotation every 30 days, would be attracted to the earth and fall. The earth, if it were not moving around the sun once every 365.25 days, would fall towards it
I KNOW
So even the moon is falling to the earth
Facts
The earth's "hill sphere" is its gravitational influence range, beyond which the pull from earth is canceled out by the pull from the rest of the universe. It is something like twice the distance to the moon
Actually the opposite
They can both fall towards eachother
It’s going away
The moon happens to be getting further away from the earth because it is spinning faster
So these creatures invaded through space
Which it is doing because tidal forces or something
Ok then yes absolutely
But still, that sentence is vague and doesn't require a lot of the things you think it does
We know celestial fragments are just kinda in space since deus has them in it
Im pretty sure the nebula fist's item description is "from orion's belt, to your hand"
Vanilla moment
Not canon to calamity
I know it might just be a joke but thats some pretty deep space travel
Only calamity bestiary entries, lore items, and some item descriptions are canon
I’m vanilla it’s completely believable it’s like some condensed galaxy in Orion’s Belt or whatever but in calamity uhh. O
Calamity Bestiary entries are omniscient and always true
Vanilla ones haven’t been changed yet
We were discussing how vanilla crawltipede is stronger than scal
What was the crawltepede
Mfw i craft a weapon made from enemies found in orion's belt
Solar worm that hates you flying
Solar pillar worm
Oh yea that nuisance

What error
Back to writing it is

Honestly, probably stronger then xeroc a vanilla crawltipede
So where do the pillars come from in calamity
i love powerscaling, can we kill all powerscalers
No lore on them yet
not public info just yet
Moonlords fingers
Are the cultists at the dungeon from the dragon cult
Yes
I HATE IT TOO i just firmly disagree with superbosses being weaker than the vanilla lore with holes like the weapon descriptions, names, and the pillars
Why are they summoning fovos?
They are sealing it away
They hold him back in calamity
Oh
Imagine if moon lord had 4 magic rocket boosters as legs and those were the pillars
@ omni ......
Mention monster hunter to bring them
Why are they worshipping fovos then?? Isn’t he like the #1 enemy of dragons
Honestly post lunatic vanilla is just comically broken
Think about it this way: restricting yourself to vanilla power levels is bad for writing around
They're not. They're holding him back
Like apart from nameless deity and Fargo souls I don’t think there’s really a mod that equals it or above
The tablet has fovos’ face I’m p sure
But theyre restricting themselves to even less than vanilla?
The spectrum is smaller now
Which can be better
Also, you dont have to restrict anything, they can go multiple multiverses and 4th wall breaks if they want
Yes. That's good. It is still more than large enough. The smaller the power scale, the more interesting the story. Think of all the countless stories in existence that don't have any variation in power at all
I like it this way rather than galaxy killer hyperbosses
As a writer has said
If yharim is like universal then why not get all good people into a continent and alt f4 the continent with bad people
That would make the story worse
Sometimes restricting things can bring a better story
Lower power makes better, more reasonable stories
simple because the people there also must be pretty powerful lol
Basically always
You mean like post ML bosses MUST all be above planet level if not change vanilla?
Facts
High power scaling is a crutch. It is something bad writers use because they don't know how to make something that's actually cool
Idc where everyone lies i just think the entire structure of the bosses and equipments, their designs are kinda fucked
cataclysm moment
That or they want some power fantasy thing
Ora
my favorite lil guy :3
They dont accompany the current level system well
You can think that, but most people disagree with you.
"lil" guy (four times your height)
only catastrophe is left
Stuff is still being made better to fit new lore, like boss dialogue being outdated
Tbh a few things are designed around old lore, but still
Have yall seen catastrophes ”legs”
We are all liars. You’re the only one here correct. Of course.
Like if the destroyer was another really big earthworm ill believe that it's below city level
Bro is a Stickman
Don’t hit me : (
It’s basically that with mid lasers
Big metal worm just doesnt look like its power class
Earthworms are made of flesh, the destroyer is made of high end steel
A lot of things only seem stronger than they are because you assume they must be based on how real life or other media does similar things
Not even steel
Hallowed bars
Yeah whats wrong with referring to real life
Isnt that like 8 tiers of ore above iron
Calamity cosmology is very different to irl
Iron ain’t steel
Actually, do that. think about real life tunneling machines. They're not big metal monsters that could destroy a city, they're slow, fragile machines that just barely manage to hold up the weight of the rock above them, moving at inches a minute
There is in calamity
They can definitely hold the weight of a rock
No, I mean the hundreds of feet of rock above them when digging
RL tunneling machines arent the destroyer tho, hes stronger
He was made for what his name suggests
Sure, just not as much insanely stronger as you think
It’s repurposed mining equipment so maybe not
It's a war robot made from repurposed mining equipment, it kills big monsters, but it's not like a nuke or anything
Mechs were made to replace cthulhus lost body parts
That’s vanilla
Or just wreck havoc
Calamitas is like an actual nuke
^
No. Real (supreme) calamitas
Ingnore Terraria lore
Imagine the range between "normal human" and "living nuke". Calamity has that range
Regular is supreme witch calamitas, the plantera equal is a clone
But like, really think about it closely, at the level of a person gaining power
Oh Venus here
That would get pretty messy since the mere fact so many super powerful people exist raises the stakes significantly, and you can just reach a point where you think "how the fuck does the universe still exist with these beings around"
The amount of item descriptions i can find with "universal obliteration"
Wait
Isnt there a weapon called atom splitter
Those are planned to be replaced
Not universal obliteration
Not canon
Yeah. The atom splitter thing isn't canon
Unless an atom is something different in calamity
It is, it's just hyperbole
After all, stars are little mana balls
We're not gonna police cool, clearly exaggerated names just for the sake of lore
Supernova is a prime example of a Hyperbole
That'd be pretty lame
Same with ark of the cosmos
Oh, so it's "canon", but it's not literal, it's the player character saying like "hell yeah, I could destroy the universe with this thing"
So the calamity powerscaling is inconsistent
Yeah
There’s a lot of hyperbole in item descriptions
Well, no, it's just not every statement is complete literal
Im just mentioning names rhat i remember, not item descriptions
And also shadowspec gear ain’t canon
It can cause a proble when there are too many things called like: Gilgamesh the consumer of reality
apparently catastrophe doesnt have much of an idle
There aren't that many though?
Item descriptions and names are sometimes fake, just meant to look cool
The most exaggerated tier is Shadowspec, which is non-canon
It's not a problem whatsoever when you remember solar pillar weapons exist
He’s just standing there, menacingly
Or floating
Generally, if it's not dedicated/crossover content or blatant references, it's canon
That’s vanilla
And they all come from constellations and shit
Vanilla weirdness
Yeah, how we're gonna change vanilla weapons :\
I honestly think taking the calamity weapon names n descriptions at face value makes more sense if youre following regular progression
I can probably be done. But it would just be pointles
It doesn't, you're just convincing yourself that it does
Going from shooting nebula arcanum to an atom splitting gun makes sense
Because you want big power levels
It's lirerally in the mod
There's a reason the base game doesn't delve into higher power scales
It doesn't actually. A nebula is so much bigger than an atom splitting. Seriously, splitting individual atoms is a very small thing.
How? Nebula arcanum is like a black hole in vanilla or something
Atom gun would be causing nukes to get set off
From galactic to like mountain level
I just said atom splitter cus i forgot all the other examples
I don't see how it's a black hole
In calamity ingnore a lot of vanilla stuff
This goes further than equipment
Nukes are only strong because they split exponentially increasing amounts of atoms
That or a galaxy idk
To me, it seems like a ball of magic
Bro thats a song
That’s old lore
that's not a great idea
^
Universal destruction or city level
Back when dog teleporting casually created universes
Or something
They did pick one. They're in the process of changing to the one they picked
If DoG could collapse the universe, the universe wouldn't exist anymore lol
especially since exaggerated names can be way cooler
There is a LOT of old lore and honestly, it makes way more sense, especially bc you dont have to reconstuct vanilla lore in ur head
Dog would do it as a flex
Tbh you still had to
Wof city level, ML planetary or above, everyone else goes higher
It is not possible for anything of that power level to be logically coherent
swinging
Since vanilla was like either below or above calamity
Man, dog goes through wormholes, i dont get how thats below city level
Old lore still changed vanilla, it just didn't necessarily break the vague powerscaling
are you seriously basing dog power level by his theme name
I think catastrophe should do Leg day
Because opening a portal isn’t always going to be multiversal
Just giving examples
his portals are also unstable
oh good
So it's not just equipment
No. If this were the case, the world would have already been destroyed, because more people would be that strong
and he can't do much against someone like yharim
Yeah but the music is obviously old lore
Also, magic mirror exists. Teleportation is not a strength thing
music was made long before new lore
Terrarian doesnt allow that
The music titles are old lore because they're from years ago
Huh?
If people were that strong, suicide nuking the earth would be common
You start out with 100 HP
The terrarian didn't exist the whole time
we're not some keeper of order
DoG was around then, it could easily destroy the universe in that case
You can like canonically beat only 8 bosses to win
Nearly fucking did in old lore
WE CAN DESTROY CONTINENTS WITH NUKES BUT STILL HAVENT FIGURED ANYTHING WORMHOLE RELATED
what?
Well wormholes are scifi
Nononono
No?
This is calamity, not the real world
Uhh
Oh ok
also, we have not blown up an entire continent with nukes
Same thing
We can’t
We could

A nuke isn’t even city level
that's not tge same dude 
Splitting an atom is far away from wormholes, which are fully theoretical anyways as of right now
