[high lynx]

Now he knows brimstone power is transferrable

[olive knoll]

so I'll tl

[untold oracle]

I’m not sure what to do

[high lynx]

Ok

[untold oracle]

I’m now expanding/fixing the start of my text

I could literally make the character witness Yharim fighting Braelor and Statis

But I’m not sure should I

[cloud ibex]

he could

[untold oracle]

That’s a pretty good failsafe if I say

[split mortar]

His failsafe for the plague is to make it view other plague cells as a foreign thing so it attacks itself and kills itself

Plague Goliath due to being t hub of communication would stop this from working since plague cells would communicate via plague bee Goliath instead

Rebecca said this a day or two ago iirc

[untold oracle]

Plague cell battle royale

[split mortar]

^

[pulsar trellis]

would the failsafe not also shut down the plague goliath's ability to act as the communication hub or smth

or is the communication ability a thing the plague evolved itself

and not smth draedon made

[mighty zenith]

so if i had to guess

[untold oracle]

Wait but wouldn’t that just leave a single plague cell roaming around

[split mortar]

I think the plague Goliath communication isn’t blocked by the failsafe

[mighty zenith]

yharim freeing pbg meant draedon didnt have enough time to ensure the failsafe would work with pbg

[split mortar]

Yes but any cell it makes would view it as enemy and vice Vera’s

One cell ain’t a problem

[untold oracle]

No but it would just destroy shit

At really small levels

[pulsar trellis]

the plague cells are strong but not invincible a biological immune system could still destroy a single plague cell

[untold oracle]

Good point

[untold oracle]

Tantrum

[split mortar]

Yeah queen bees can fend off any plague enemy other then the Goliath

[untold oracle]

Someone should make a plague infection mod

[split mortar]

Doesn’t community remix add a plague biome

[mighty zenith]

ngl im imagining a fight between a queen bee and the miniboss plaguebringer

i love imagining fights i could never draw

[frozen zodiac]

honestly the plague being a new area replacing an old one in another kind of game sounds cool
like uhhhhh shit there's like some dungeon in ocarina of time thats super different between young and adult link isnt there

[untold oracle]

If pgb is a queen bee then what the hell is a normal plaguebringer

[mighty zenith]

also a queen bee

pbg is the first queen bee

that draedon experimented with

[untold oracle]

It got the thruster dlc

[split mortar]

Infected larva

[untold oracle]

Are the normal pbs getting resprited?

[split mortar]

iirc

[mighty zenith]

probably

theyre a lil bland

i could honestly a see a full-on miniboss resprite patch

since they all deserve one honestly

(well except the acid rain ones since those are getting resprited in sso)

[split mortar]

Cnidarian getting a resprite iirc

[untold oracle]

Great sand shark needs a rework

[mighty zenith]

(and clam)

[split mortar]

So is clam

[untold oracle]

All the hassle feels like a boss but then it’s just a bouncy goober

[split mortar]

It may not be an update but may be that they just do get changed when the update is somewhat relevant to it

[split mortar]

Yeah it weird

[mighty zenith]

i do like what infernum does to gss

argus is cool

[untold oracle]

Yes

[empty dew]

Godslayer... Sash???

[mighty zenith]

godslayer seggs ?!

[pulsar trellis]

?????

[frozen zodiac]

Auric Sash that kills you when you equip it

[hoary berry]

You are the aureus lover not the dog lover

No seggs

[viral juniper]

What a bizarre thing to see

[mighty zenith]

what an adventure

[split mortar]

Garbo should go in the doc if anything not me

[untold oracle]

The lore document?

[pulsar trellis]

what a calamity

[mighty zenith]

true

i should be canon

[hoary berry]

i'll be merciful

[frozen zodiac]

garbo do you like astrum deus

[split mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-doggy-jump-bite-rah-gif-16579809368338670257

[manic coral]

How calamitous

[mighty zenith]

ya

[untold oracle]

Hiii cei

[hoary berry]

hi cei

[mighty zenith]

hi cei make me canon

:3

[frozen zodiac]

hi cei

[manic coral]

Anyways what the fuck are you guys talking about

[viral juniper]

Hell if I know

[mighty zenith]

mental illnois

[untold oracle]

Garbo is brambling

[split mortar]

Idfk

[frozen zodiac]

would calamitas be a cat person

[mighty zenith]

yes

[untold oracle]

Now

[manic coral]

I've answered this twice

[split mortar]

Obviously

[untold oracle]

How many times has that been asked?

[manic coral]

At least thrice

[pulsar trellis]

it went from
how the plague works
to a small bit of talk about great sand shark
and then "godslayer seggs", followed by a bunch of random gifs

[frozen zodiac]

soggy cat

[untold oracle]

Did that guy just put her in the bath????

Now her cloak is all wet : (

[viral juniper]

Catlamitas

Nyalamitas

[hoary berry]

[untold oracle]

Calamicat

[split mortar]

Slimelamitas

[manic coral]

Yharnyam

[untold oracle]

Nyaxus

[dusk laurel]

Draecat

[pulsar trellis]

where do these images keep coming from

[split mortar]

Popcorn made a lot of calamitas meme images

[pulsar trellis]

who made them

[manic coral]

Anyways GSS is something that would be cool if more was done with but like

[pulsar trellis]

ah

[untold oracle]

Deepest pits of hell

[frozen zodiac]

ah yes Yharnyan the next jibanyan variant in the new yo kai watch 5 game (for nintendo switch 2)

[manic coral]

Eh

[mighty zenith]

sand shark is like

DS but again?

kinda?

ds but not worm

[pulsar trellis]

hes ds but not worm and jumpier

[manic coral]

Worms are cool

[untold oracle]

It has a message when you unlock it, all these status messages as you kill enemies in a sandstorm, and then it’s an upscaled sand shark

[frozen zodiac]

honestly i would be fine with it being similar to the moldugas in botw

[mighty zenith]

fuckin

give it electricity powers

boom

[untold oracle]

There

[mighty zenith]

at least 20% cooler

[untold oracle]

Also give the scales more uses

[split mortar]

It stayed away from the electrified sands didn’t it

[pulsar trellis]

why is it that when an enemy has electric powers i keep rembering ror2 and the scavenger getting royal capacitor and smiting my ass

[untold oracle]

What is ror2 I forgor

[manic coral]

Scavengers be like that

[viral juniper]

Risk of Rain 2

[split mortar]

Risk of rain 2

[untold oracle]

Oh yeah that one

[manic coral]

Why are entities called Scavengers in games always really fucking cool

[olive knoll]

Oh hello Cei

[split mortar]

Like in rain world

[manic coral]

Ye

[viral juniper]

When the world is rain

[olive knoll]

I actually dont have any questions because Ive been able to figure them out on my own as of late

[untold oracle]

Rain worl!!!!

[manic coral]

Scavengers in rain world are like possibly the most complex and in-depth entities I have seen in a game

[olive knoll]

Took a while for some things to click

[untold oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/rivulet-rain-world-slugcat-dunk-ballin-gif-7684234335110226051

[manic coral]

Spearmaster is the best slugcat btw

[untold oracle]

I love it when they send a death squad at my location

[mighty zenith]

because scavenger is just a really fucking cool word

[hoary berry]

i still need to finish rain world

[split mortar]

Same

I need to play rainworld

[mighty zenith]

i havent played it in a while cause i got really frustrated with it

[hoary berry]

i'm in my third hollow knight addiction right now so i can't bring myself to play it

[mighty zenith]

i have way too many games on my list

[hoary berry]

same

[mighty zenith]

have to get through my kirby marathon

got the madness combat games

rain world

[manic coral]

Rain World is either amazing or awful depending on your taste in stuff

[mighty zenith]

i appreciate the shit out of this game

its just that im terrible at it

and it can get really annoying when i get like 20 lizards on me while im just trying to progress

[hoary berry]

the lizard things terrify me

[mighty zenith]

and then i wait so long i die to rain

[manic coral]

You basically have to ignore 90% of your usual instincts you have developed from playing any other game ever

[split mortar]

I play noita so I doubt I will hate rain world being hard and a bit sudden with death

[mighty zenith]

genuinely i have died to rain more than to anything

[split mortar]

Nice

[mighty zenith]

i HATE being rushed in games

especially exploration ones

[manic coral]

Like yeah in rain world combat is just

Not something practical to do for new players

[mighty zenith]

yeah i like it

[hoary berry]

i'll hit one with a spear like
five times
then fumble and get one shot
it's very frightening and very fun as a result

[mighty zenith]

its clear youre really not meant to engage often

[untold oracle]

Spear crouch spam technique

[split mortar]

You ARE low on the food chain and you can barely fight up

[mighty zenith]

i think scavengers are so weird and counterintuitive sometimes

[olive knoll]

I wonder how good the Calamity cast is at Chess

[mighty zenith]

like i can give them a ton of shit, they leave me alone

[manic coral]

Given combat is far from impossible. But, like, there is a definite massive learning curve that makes getting good at the game's combat feel amazing

[split mortar]

Have you come across any of the other enemies?

[manic coral]

Especially once you get to slugcats like

Yeah

Spearmaster

[mighty zenith]

then a couple minutes later they come back and just hurl spears at me for no reason

[untold oracle]

Draedon cannot be beaten I’m pretty sure

10k rating

[split mortar]

Artificer

[mighty zenith]

like i was helping them fight a vulture and one of them just instakilled me for no reason

[olive knoll]

Draedon has stockfish installed

[untold oracle]

I love artificer

[olive knoll]

so hes cheating

[untold oracle]

Nah he made his own one

[manic coral]

Articifer is a good slugcat in a fucking awful campaign

[split mortar]

Draedon be making himself be smarter then stockfish

[manic coral]

Because fighting scavengers sucks ass

And isn't fun

[untold oracle]

True

[split mortar]

Too smart?

[untold oracle]

The ending is cool imo tho

[manic coral]

No not really it's just

[hoary berry]

i've encountered several
and a few types of lizards too
all of them terrify me

[manic coral]

They can show up at like any time in her campaign

[mighty zenith]

rain world is a game that i am terrible at and dread playing but its also one of the coolest games ive ever played

[manic coral]

And also they have angled spear throws

You dont

[untold oracle]

You can do the weird flip things

I cannot do them lmao

[manic coral]

Yeah like they use green lizards in outskirts specifically to get you into the idea of "combat is a last resort"

Because green lizards are actually on the tankier side

But are also the slowest and dumbest lizards

[olive knoll]

Wait I just thought of something

is there a lore reason as to why the dragon aerie is inaccessible currently

[manic coral]

Most lizards can go down in 4 spear hits but some green lizards can take like 6, sometimes even 7

[split mortar]

||Red lizards will fuck up goose||

[manic coral]

||I have actually killed a Red Lizard before without an explosive spear but only as Spearmaster||

[untold oracle]

Magic or subdimension or smth

[manic coral]

Which yeah again Spearmaster is my favorite Slugcat

[untold oracle]

White lizards

[manic coral]

Being able to infinitely produce spears is fun

If you're good enough you can just. Kill everything.

[untold oracle]

One thing cool about rain world is that you can see the enemies struggle when they are injured

[manic coral]

Ye

No healthbars but you can very much tell how close to dead something is

Except Daddy Longlegs but fuck killing those things

[untold oracle]

I’ve never killed too many lizards

[manic coral]

Which yeah they ARE killable

[olive knoll]

Subworlds might be a dependency later on yeah

[mighty zenith]

daddy longlegs terrifies me

i fucking hate those things

[manic coral]

I have done it before

[mighty zenith]

god

[manic coral]

You can kill them

[untold oracle]

I am in the sewer thing in my playhtrough so quite early

[manic coral]

It just takes a lot of patience, planning and time

[mighty zenith]

i found my first one in water and god it was TERRIFYING

im already afraid of the ocean

[untold oracle]

No I’d hate that, hope they get their own method

[mighty zenith]

so seeing a fucked up tentacle creature like that scarred me

[split mortar]

Leviathans don’t help that either I imagine

[olive knoll]

fair

[manic coral]

Daddy Longlegs are the coolest enemies in the game imo

[mighty zenith]

i refuse to play subnautica cause of them

[untold oracle]

Why do they have a machine type jaw

[mighty zenith]

so yeah i dont like big fish

[manic coral]

Because seeing your first one is like possibly the game's biggest "What the actual FUCK" moment aside from General Systems Bus

[split mortar]

Everything is a purposed organism in rain world

[mighty zenith]

whats a general systems bus

i only know things by look not name

[manic coral]

Like up to that point all the creatures you encounter, while kinda fucked up

[untold oracle]

I find it pretty sad I spoiled about the entire game to myself

[untold oracle]

Yeah

[manic coral]

Are vaguely grounded

[olive knoll]

Wait what is rain world

[manic coral]

Giant lizards and still lizards

[untold oracle]

World

With rain

[split mortar]

A good game

[manic coral]

Spiders are still spiders

[untold oracle]

Slounce cat

[split mortar]

That is unique

[olive knoll]

Okay

[untold oracle]

Gets mauled by lizard

[mighty zenith]

my first "what the fuck" rain world moment were the weird-ass flying shrimp

[manic coral]

Centipedes are fucked up but still, yeah, centipedes

[mighty zenith]

i accidentally grabbed one and immediately regret it

[split mortar]

Train lizard

[manic coral]

But Daddy Longlegs?

[split mortar]

Rip

[untold oracle]

Squidcadas?

[mighty zenith]

no like

the pink noodles

[manic coral]

They look like nothing

[untold oracle]

Noodleflies

[mighty zenith]

with a big red mama noodle

[untold oracle]

I hate then

[mighty zenith]

yea

[manic coral]

Move entirely unnaturally

[mighty zenith]

exactly

[manic coral]

And are just generally massively fucked up

[mighty zenith]

they look like something from the deeeeep sea

aka nothing

lizards? completely normal

noodleflies? sure, weird but i can see some similarities to things irl

[manic coral]

Daddy Longlegs scared the shit out of me on my first playthrough

[mighty zenith]

daddy longlegs simultaneously looks like 3 different things and nothing that ive ever seen

its so fucking weird

[split mortar]

Sadly I spoiled most of the games enemies and stuff for myself

Though I heard there’s a dlc coming up

I’ll avoid spoilers for that

[mighty zenith]

and the fact theyre blind and deaf

makes them even scarier actually

[untold oracle]

Same…

Stuff don’t feel special anymore

[manic coral]

Blind and deaf, but have echodetection

[mighty zenith]

ive only been spoiled on the slugcats

[manic coral]

They see you by feeling the vibrations from your movement

[mighty zenith]

basically everything else is new to me

[manic coral]

Which fun fact is also how Centipedes work

[mighty zenith]

(oh btw vultures give me enormous Nosk vibes i HATE THem)

[untold oracle]

Wait what was hunter’s and spearmaster’s difference

[manic coral]

Centipedes can only see your movement

So if you're crouching and not moving

Centipedes actually can't see you

[mighty zenith]

wait are there big centipedes

[untold oracle]

I think vultures give the new scoog vibes

The mask and all

[mighty zenith]

i only know the tiny ones you can eat

actually i should stop reading

i wanna avoid spoilers

so i can die while clueless

[manic coral]

Fair enough

I'll stop talking

Or if I continue use spoiler tags

[mighty zenith]

👍

imma go anyway

[untold oracle]

Byeee garb

[manic coral]

Which I will say for the third biggest "What the actual FUCK moment" was encountering my first ||Miros Vulture||

[untold oracle]

Why do vultures spew gases

[manic coral]

||Aka the ACTUAL most terrifying enemy in the game||

[olive knoll]

I think its perfectly fine that you guys are discussing something different, getting off topic is normal once in a while

[untold oracle]

||do you mean the miros bird things?||

[untold oracle]

welcome to lore discussion, this is far from the worst

[split mortar]

||No there’s a miros bird and a vulture mix||

[untold oracle]

||I’m scared||

[split mortar]

It’s common we are off topic

[manic coral]

||No, Miros Birds are different. Miros Birds just walk in two legs. Miros Vultures fly and have a laser cannon because fuck you, and as with Miros Birds their bites instakill||

[olive knoll]

Oh

lol

[split mortar]

||Balanced game design there||

[manic coral]

||Tbf there are only five throughout ALL of the game and every campaign||

[untold oracle]

||what the fuck 😭||

[olive knoll]

Wait a minute, I just realized something

[untold oracle]

||it feels funny that everything is spoilered||

[untold oracle]

Whar

[split mortar]

There is people here who don’t want spoiler on rain world

[olive knoll]

The Zeniths name is literal

[split mortar]

In vanilla yeah it is

[olive knoll]

Thats very funny

[cloud ibex]

scp article

[hushed geyser]

Rhats why

It's spoilered

[split mortar]

Ye

[hushed geyser]

Bro can't see..

[untold oracle]

||REDACTED||

[split mortar]

Rain world is a 👍

[untold oracle]

This being is called ||REDACTED prime|| and it will destroy ||your REDACTED|| in ||five|| minutes

[olive knoll]

It does feel relieving to eventually understand a reason why something is the way it is

Its like "Ohhh NOW it makes sense lore wise"

[split mortar]

Ye

Cei, Rebecca and stip (and whoever else does cal lore I forgor) cook with cal lore

[olive knoll]

Hopefully someday I can make my own lore and stories

But thats going to take a long while

[untold oracle]

Mine is going to take a good while

I am fairly sure I will not finish it before 2025 lol

[split mortar]

You can do little fan stories or just little stories or moments if you don’t want to do anything too huge

[untold oracle]

Better yet

Make those ms paint mini comics

[split mortar]

I did today (wasn’t anything related to calamity so I won’t say more here)

[split mortar]

And this

[untold oracle]

Even though they are basically just memes

I still find them surprisingly good worldbuilding

If that’s the correct word

[split mortar]

Or good shitposting

[olive knoll]

I tried to tell myself in the past "it doesnt matter" but why do I feel so compelled?

Not to blow smoke, but if a lore and story can make me torn like that then its good

[split mortar]

Ye

[untold oracle]

The cal lore is very very good in that sense

[olive knoll]

Its just hard for me to get invested into games and their stories

[split mortar]

Fair

[untold oracle]

I am definitely biased but I think Cal does every aspect better than Terraria itself

If you even can compare them

[olive knoll]

Cal is very different, id say seperate entites

[hushed geyser]

You can't

Too different

[split mortar]

Cal lore is better then terraria lore

Since cal lore is functional

[untold oracle]

Yea

Would be weird to think cal outside terraria tho

[split mortar]

I find it funny moonlord currently is basically the exact same as vanilla moonlord though in lore

[olive knoll]

Its like an alternate timeline

because they're technically the same universe, but events have vastly differently played out

[split mortar]

Pretty sure they’re completely seperated in lore, like vanilla doesn’t exist even as a seperate universe

Though moonlord and living worlds being similiar I find funny

[hushed geyser]

All things exist as a separate universe vro

Learn multiverse shit

[untold oracle]

Powerscaling….

[split mortar]

Don’t think that’s how fiction works

[hushed geyser]

Technically it is

[split mortar]

Sometimes something just isn’t canon to another fiction

[untold oracle]

But

Alternate universes

Stuff can be canon there

[hushed geyser]

Ding ding ding

Anything can be in any alternate universe

[olive knoll]

Terraria is basically Earth Prime
Calamity is basically Alternate Earth 01

[untold oracle]

You could say our world is just an alt reality of calamity

Where

Stuff played out differently

[olive knoll]

Nah

[olive knoll]

Our own universe is so disconnected from everyone elses that it exists on a higher plane of reality

[untold oracle]

What are the lore implications of this????

[olive knoll]

Its not so much a lore implication

its more of that to us Calamity is just a game

but to the people of that world, its no different than what they know of reality

[split mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/autism-creature-3d-blender-physics-rigid-body-gif-16385047004213889853

[spring helm]

What if Calamitas’ brothers really were that big when they were alive and Cal was just a tiny baby in a family of absolute units

[dusk laurel]

lore

[olive knoll]

Shes a middle child tho so that wouldnt make sense [REDACTED]

[split mortar]

No wonder cataclysm was like a undefeated champion in boxing or something

[spring helm]

Why

[split mortar]

I thought she was youngest child

[olive knoll]

I could have sworn that catacylsm was the oldest brother and the other was the youngest

Unless I misinterpreted that bit of information

[indigo glade]

Catastrophe was the middle child.

[spring helm]

The tiny baby part was not literal

[olive knoll]

Ahhhhh

now it makes sense

Thanks

[spring helm]

She could have been the oldest child and still be baby sized compared to how fucking big catastrophe and cataclysm’s sprites are

[olive knoll]

Makes sense

[frozen zodiac]

i mean look at mario and luigi the younger one can be taller

[olive knoll]

mhm

[rotund shore]

a small victorian azafurian

[spring helm]

Got exploited for her labour so that tracks

[rotund shore]

😭

[olive knoll]

Right I forgot in the stained brutal calamity video Calamitas is bri`ish

[high lynx]

Wait what

[cloud ibex]

the SBC video starts with some of her old dialogue voiced by a british voice actress

and i mean she's from azafure, which is the source of the industrial revolution in the world of calamity, filled with blade-wielding enemies and literally hell, so she is basically from london

[hoary berry]

and literally hell
too true

[split mortar]

No wonder she can handle magic that makes you insane

She lived in London

[dusk laurel]

azafure is...... LONDON??????

this is a calamity

it hurts brain

Double sided cat

[wheat walrus]

I love it

i love this gif

i stole it from lawlsi

If Azafure is already England, I guess it's just Scotland I have left to do for my worldbuilding

[split mortar]

Pfft

[mighty zenith]

profaned biome is ireland

[dusk laurel]

uhh, crags are Britain, Azafure is London

[devout grotto]

Fair

[dusk laurel]

hell is France

[mighty zenith]

the obsidian house wasteland is wales

[split mortar]

Britain is not surrounded by the French

[split mortar]

And the hellstone houses

[mighty zenith]

northern ireland

[dusk laurel]

what did NI do 😭

[mighty zenith]

be part of great britain

[devout grotto]

Tbf it's only the English that had beef with the French

[dusk laurel]

it's not their fault

[devout grotto]

The Scots were more buddy buddy with the French in turn

[mighty zenith]

scotland is so based

they have demoman tf2

[dusk laurel]

i have beef with the french

[devout grotto]

🤓 Erm actually, Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain

[dusk laurel]

[devout grotto]

SO TRUE

https://tenor.com/view/yoink-sploink-demoman-tf2-gif-3847301308022605801

[mighty zenith]

erm your face is not part of great britain..........

[devout grotto]

😭

[dusk laurel]

NI is deservedly Irish

[split mortar]

What even is that gif

[dusk laurel]

goomba.

[mighty zenith]

go go gadget goozpixelator

[dusk laurel]

why is fnaf at the top right

[devout grotto]

It's like the drop to that stupid Shape of You "phonk remix"

[split mortar]

What even happened in the goozed gif

Why suddenly explosion of green

[dusk laurel]

goomba

[mighty zenith]

goozed too hard 💔 💔

[olive knoll]

Calamitas probably has them british teeth too

[dusk laurel]

[split mortar]

Toothbrush prob don’t exist

In calamity

[dusk laurel]

simple

auric toothbrush

[olive knoll]

But water doesnt exist in azafure

[dusk laurel]

kills all the germs immediatelly

[split mortar]

That’s called a portable guillotine

[mighty zenith]

lava toothpaste

[split mortar]

They had to drink water to live, still humans

Abyss being right above them prob helped

[olive knoll]

Ohhhh

Thats cool

[mighty zenith]

i feel like water not being allowed in hell is just a gameplay thing

[dusk laurel]

waterfalls in the crags would be cool

[olive knoll]

Didnt think about aboveground plumbing

[dusk laurel]

idk if it would make sense

probably not

[mighty zenith]

though technically you can hold a bucket of water in hell and it being fine so

its weird

terraria is weird

[olive knoll]

You can likewise in minecraft

[split mortar]

iirc illmeris sold a lot of water and due to being close to azafure probably sold a lot to azafure

[olive knoll]

The water bills must have been astronomical

[mighty zenith]

what if illmeris invented sparkling water

[devout grotto]

Oh god cringe watermark 💀

[olive knoll]

God dangit Calamitas why is the water bill 500 dollars this month

[devout grotto]

LOL

[dusk laurel]

water

[split mortar]

Calamitas personally making the water bills higher then living in a cave and not dealing with the fallout

[dusk laurel]

is way more expensive

[dusk laurel]

now that ilmeris is just the sunken sea

less water to sell and harvest

less people to do it

[frozen zodiac]

is this for bringing up messages from other chats or something
i mean i guess i'll take it its just a bit more convenient than grabbing the message links

[devout grotto]

Tbh true

[olive knoll]

I wonder if Yharim could actually cook or if he had people do all of the cooking for him

[cloud ibex]

less replying, more just reposting

[dusk laurel]

soooo

[devout grotto]

Amidst the turmoil between the Seisai shogunate and the rebels, there have been multiple plans that have been ruined for both sides, and no one knows who or what has been causing all these failures.

Little did they know that the source of all these troubles was all in the same...

Something of a rough idea for one of my Calamity writing projects

(Btw Seisai is the name of the Yharim-aligned country I mentioned before)

[split mortar]

Oh nice

[devout grotto]

Yeah, I asked help from someone I know who can speak Japanese and they gave me that name :O

There's worldbuilding reasons as to why I agreed with that name but uh

I gotta prep for bed asap, got work tomorrow 😭

[split mortar]

Oh bye

[devout grotto]

o/

[untold oracle]

I was able to turn 1 paragraph into 5+ in a revision lol

I think I’m starting to be done with prelude

[untold oracle]

Cool!

[devout grotto]

Thanks

Also you can tell that I really need to sleep now since the initial wording of the second line was wonky

[olive knoll]

What prelude

[devout grotto]

Ah fuck I can't word well rn 💀

Yeah thar's all for me tonigjt

[frank dune]

how would he...

[dry igloo]

So, this may be a weird question, but I'm curious how our "island"/small continent plays into the Calamity mod lore.
Are we just really lucky Dreadon's bases are there, the dungeon, the jungle, Azafure, etc?

Like, theoretically, could we travel to the kingdom where Yharim was born, or is this jungle a different one.

[sleek halo]

Well

we don’t know where Yharim was born

But it is a continent

how big it is kinda unknown

[dry igloo]

Oh, I must be remembering the old lore where he was born a royal of some jungle kingdom.

[sleek halo]

but it’s probably decently aized

[sleek halo]

yeah not anymore

as far as we know

no longer a lizhard

infact he’s now racist against lizhards

but i’m pretty sure the continent we play on

is where the crusade started

[dry igloo]

That makes sense given the corruption and crimson.

[sleek halo]

Yeah

some of the first gods he killed so

[dry igloo]

I wonder if there's an offical map anywhere.

[sleek halo]

p sure about that

[sleek halo]

don’t think so

cause that’d take a ton of work

[frank dune]

What if yharim is xerocs son

[sleek halo]

the continent has multiple layers

[frank dune]

Explained why he has too much power for mortal

[sleek halo]

of where stuff is located

[sleek halo]

He’s attuned to a dragon…

[frank dune]

Best plot twist

[sleek halo]

I don’t even know if gods can even have kids

in calamity

[dry igloo]

One of the reasons I'm trying to figure out the geography is because I'm trying to slowly build a DnD campaign set in the Calamity world during his crusades.

[frank dune]

I mean imagine

Yharim doesnt know xeroc is his father since he left for milk

🥛

[sleek halo]

I think that’d be a very

poor writing decision..

[dry igloo]

-# I mean, that won't stop some of the fans from trying knowing the internet.

[split mortar]

Don’t think there would be a official one sadly

[dry igloo]

Aww

[pliant ruin]

yharim is the king of the junjile

[sleek halo]

I mean

[split mortar]

Wouldn’t be surprised that world gen is canon to each playthrough

[sleek halo]

don’t you dare

[dry igloo]

Well, I guess I'll have the start with tectonic plates, I know one is close to the shore with the abyss being there.

[sleek halo]

I mean you can base it off a lot of the things in calamity

[frank dune]

https://tenor.com/view/vamos-ver-team-fortress2-tf2-soldier-team-fortress2soldier-gif-16871755

[sleek halo]

Like it needs to have certain things

[dry igloo]

Weird world generation was canonized in Dreadon's Planetoid entrée.

Or at least, attempted to be explained away.

[split mortar]

Oh neat

[sleek halo]

but yeah the big issue with making a map for cal

is that there’s a lot of layers lol

[frank dune]

Imagine draedon jumping of chair and jumpscaring you like stalker afer exo fight

Low Orbit Study Log, page 1:

"High above even the sky islands upheaved long ago lies a fascinating geological phenomenon. Though, unlike the islands, their airborne nature appears to have formed more naturally. I speculate that they formed long ago when the world was in its infancy judging by soil samples I have taken while testing high atmosphere plant growth. Perhaps these “planetoids”, as many refer to them as, formed via meteor strikes tossing matter high into the atmosphere. This would simultaneously explain many geological oddities I have found on the world’s surface."

[high lynx]

I know

[dry igloo]

Honestly, once the lore is finished, I'd love to see someone's take on how the world would look, maybe making an adventure map.

[high lynx]

Whats the convo rn

[split mortar]

Dungeon forming in space and being a skyscraper canon

[split mortar]

Shape if the continent cause someone trying to do a dnd calamity

[high lynx]

Ah

[dry igloo]

Currently trying to figure out the geography of the Calamity mod.

[high lynx]

Well its randomly generated in game and we only get 2d

[split mortar]

I would say that your best bet would be to make your own map

[high lynx]

So kinda hard

[pliant ruin]

i <3 trivial worldbuilding regarding minor irrelevant things such as the ecology of creatures and the geography of biomes

[dry igloo]

Maybe, but not impossible.

[mighty zenith]

forming the whole world would be really really difficult

[dry igloo]

Y E S

[hoary berry]

hi cheese

[mighty zenith]

a majority of it being speculation

[hoary berry]

hi garbo

[high lynx]

Not trivial how rude

[pliant ruin]

hai

[mighty zenith]

the game takes place on a single continent so

[split mortar]

Hello cheese

[mighty zenith]

hiii

[dry igloo]

This is true, but a lot of stories are built that way.

[split mortar]

There are others but we have no info on them other then yharim had the yharmy there awell

[mighty zenith]

yeah thats the issue

[dry igloo]

Heck, before I came here, I thought Yharim was a hero, but now I have more info on him.

[sleek halo]

the sad thing is

[mighty zenith]

there's no visuals of the other places in the world

[split mortar]

Yeah he has a high charisma stat

[sleek halo]

most things are likely destroyed now

[high lynx]

Nobody is a hero

Thats the moral of the story

[mighty zenith]

you're not alone dw

yharim is very convincing

[sleek halo]

also lies

[pliant ruin]

Yeah yharim has a high charisma stat

[mighty zenith]

so convincing most people dont even pay attention to his attrocities

[sleek halo]

that’s a big part

[pliant ruin]

The only problem is when people are presented with evidence he's a pretty bad guy and refuse to acnowledge it due to ignorance

[mighty zenith]

melon gun when someone mildly mentions the terrarian in any way

[pliant ruin]

watch this

My terrarian has blonde hair

[high lynx]

In someones eyes, you will always be a villain

Mine is a yoyo trick world champion

i want forwarding already

so i can have nitro without nitro

[mighty zenith]

forwards u

[dry igloo]

So, I'll have to take some creative liberties with my campaign, but I want it to at least be mostly accurate.
It will be interesting to see how the players potentially interact with Yharim, if they fall for his charisma or not.

[mighty zenith]

wtf

[high lynx]

I cant do that

[hoary berry]

how long has forwarding been a thing for

[high lynx]

I think

[split mortar]

Garbo too stinky to forward

[hoary berry]

i've had it for weeks i think

[mighty zenith]

[split mortar]

I got it today

[dusk laurel]

i just got it today

[mighty zenith]

stinks u to death

[hoary berry]

why have i had it for so long?????

[split mortar]

[dusk laurel]

maybe nitro

[hoary berry]

i had it before i got nitro

[high lynx]

I couldve gotten discord nitro for beating a discord chess bot but i dont want nitro

[hoary berry]

i think at least

[split mortar]

The biggest motivator for me to get nitro is the animated

[hoary berry]

[dry igloo]

Honestly, the only things I'm going to tell my players is that they shouldn't make a warlock, cleric, or paladin of any sort, lest the story be very unfair against them.

[hoary berry]

emojis and stickers are the only reason i got nitro

Neither did I

Thank you goose

good, im never favoriting this brainrotted channel

[split mortar]

Idk how lore chat is more brainrot then other channels

[high lynx]

if you dont like the channel go to another channel

[untold bluff]

yesn't

(no)

this channel is entertaining

[high lynx]

we here at lore incorporated enjoy promoting a kind environment with no hate

[hoary berry]

would you like any other emojis for you to forward

[untold bluff]

guh

[high lynx]

for the people who exist outside of the mod

[split mortar]

You can use emojis from other servers btw with forward

[split mortar]

Nitro for free just dropped

[hoary berry]

does it work on images

because if so a warned person might be able to bypass warns using it

[dusk laurel]

oh...

that's true

[hoary berry]

oh god it does work

[split mortar]

Yoooo
Discord broke a lot of shit

[dusk laurel]

NO

[split mortar]

With the forward

[hoary berry]

hopefully there's something in place to stop warned people from just repeating the thing that got them warned, if it was an image to begin with

[dusk laurel]

we gonna lose our forwarding perms

Remove it for the Warned people not us

I wonder how the vanilla NPCs tie into Calamity's story.
What was the guide up to while Yharim crusaded.

[frank dune]

Omega blue

OMG greek alphabet :)))))

[split mortar]

That will probably be a SSO thing sadly

[dry igloo]

SSO?

[frank dune]

[dusk laurel]

sunken sea overhaul

[dry igloo]

The sunken sea is getting overhauled?

[dusk laurel]

yes

[dry igloo]

Ooo~

[dusk laurel]

it's the next update

1st of the 4 next major updates

[dry igloo]

Is that the one with the big dog?

[high lynx]

have you not seen the new clam

[split mortar]

It’s among the biggest updates in calamity

[dusk laurel]

no

[split mortar]

That’s distortion

[dusk laurel]

DoG is distortion

[dry igloo]

Is there like a roadmap with all of this?

[split mortar]

There’s a few big updates between now and distortion

Ye a document

[high lynx]

and the transition layer between underground desert and SS

[split mortar]

Ask cosmore

[frank dune]

I am gonna graduate at this point

[dusk laurel]

the document

[high lynx]

i watched a roadmap video by i dont remember

[dusk laurel]

was it mura

[split mortar]

Spontaneous graduation wow

[high lynx]

yeah i think

[dusk laurel]

[high lynx]

does calamity server like him or hate him

[split mortar]

View him as mid

IIRC

[dusk laurel]

mura has fostered an audience of the ignorant

[high lynx]

oh

[split mortar]

That’s called the YouTube cal community in general

[dusk laurel]

that's true

[high lynx]

thats what i was thinkinh

[dusk laurel]

he isn't helping tho

[high lynx]

mayhaps we change that

[lusty grove]

@stark basalt aureus is just a draedon surveyor drone that got hijacked by the infection

[frank dune]

Dog pull player into ceaseless?

[dusk laurel]

"omg nameless deity is xeroc guys"

[lusty grove]

Deus is a creature that used to eat dying stars

But got infected by it

[dusk laurel]

no

[lusty grove]

After we defeat Deus we dont kill it btw

[frank dune]

Gonna be peak cutscene

[dusk laurel]

ceaseless is the portal to the distortion

[lusty grove]

We just free it from the infection

[dusk laurel]

DoG will use his own portal

[high lynx]

we do?

[dusk laurel]

albeit it is far more unstable

[frank dune]

added. It will be accessed through Ceaseless Void after it is defeated, and DoG will pull the player inside it for its phase 2

[lusty grove]

Also Deus is revered as a god for its capability of eating stars but its not an auric god

It doesnt have an auric soul

[high lynx]

yeah

[lusty grove]

Its just revered as one

[high lynx]

thats a point of contention in lore chat

im on that side

[split mortar]

We don’t kill deus, we beat the infection out of it

[frank dune]

Thats gonna be peak

[dusk laurel]

DoG's not using ceaseless tho

he has his own portals

[split mortar]

Dog can open his own portals

[dusk laurel]

and we turn ceaseless back into a portal to the distortion ourselves already

[lusty grove]

Im on the side that it is a god-like creature, but lacks the main part of what makes a regular calamity god, the auric soul

[dusk laurel]

it will be in the forsaken archives

[high lynx]

i think "god" is just a word but some believe sum else

[frank dune]

Man wtf is mini providence?

[high lynx]

i said once one could consider yharim a god, being an extremely powerful being with plenty of people who worship him

[dusk laurel]

old ahh image

the DS is outdated

and that provi pet was scrapped iirc

gonna be redone

[split mortar]

[dusk laurel]

bumblefolly is staying tho iirc

critter and townpet

[high lynx]

townpet lets go

[split mortar]

[dusk laurel]

but this isn't spoiler talk

[dusk laurel]

let's lore

💥 _ _

[high lynx]

easy

[split mortar]

Providence in a toxic yuri?

[dusk laurel]

maybe

[high lynx]

i know the stuff better than my country's history

[dusk laurel]

although you have summoned the 🧀

[dry igloo]

Honestly, considering Xeroc was a monk, I wonder if he'll be like the Aquatic Scourge and not attack us right away, waiting for us to make the first move, maybe even talking with us.

[split mortar]

He does talk to us

[high lynx]

key word was

[split mortar]

Inboss rush

[high lynx]

might not be anymore

[dusk laurel]

"i'm boss rush"

[high lynx]

but that was also kinda him attacking us

wasnt it

[dusk laurel]

it was more like a test

[split mortar]

Guess I’m like 5 things at this point then

[lusty grove]

I dont think we could even be a threat to Xeroc

[high lynx]

true

[dry igloo]

A test that we activated.

[high lynx]

i like xeroc as a possible ally

[split mortar]

Xeroc lives the fight with us yeah

[dusk laurel]

no, xeroc made it out of the blue

[dry igloo]

To quote some person on the internet. "If it has a health bar, we can kill it!"

[split mortar]

But we don’t

[lusty grove]

Unless the health bar is a tired bar

[high lynx]

ive never seen his healthbar

[dusk laurel]

the terminus was likely used for ascension

[lusty grove]

[high lynx]

i dont like that cat

[frank dune]

The fight itself has been said to be inspired by Minos Prime from Ultrakill and Senator Armstrong from MGRR holy fuck

[split mortar]

I think dev said it was for perfect ascension but idk

[dusk laurel]

[stark basalt]

i feel like yharim and archmage explored each others bodies?

[dusk laurel]

that's yharim

[frank dune]

Prepare thyself

[dry igloo]

I wonder what would of driven Xeroc to take that Auric soul in the first place, either by request of the dragon, or by his own desire.

[dusk laurel]

not xeroc

[frank dune]

Ik

Still

ULTRAKILL

[dusk laurel]

i'm gonna ultrakill you

[high lynx]

thats like question number one

[split mortar]

It was likely due to the fact another fovos type event could happen again

[dusk laurel]

^

[split mortar]

And dragons failed to protect the world well from moonlord

[dry igloo]

fovos?

[high lynx]

i think we shouldnt say likely

[split mortar]

What if a stronger being arrived

[high lynx]

moon lord

[stark basalt]

when is yharon resprite coming? when is yharim coming

[lusty grove]

This was not what i expected your first message here to be 😭

[dusk laurel]

fovos is a name for moonlord

[dry igloo]

Oh?

[split mortar]

Moonlord and fovos talk about same being

[dusk laurel]

from like old sky humans

chrysadia

[split mortar]

Yharim will be done when all other overhauls are done

And yharon resprite is being worked on

[dry igloo]

I'm not privy to this part of the lore, do go on.

[dusk laurel]

yharon will be after SSO

[stark basalt]

ive been thinking about it ever since i killed cryogen sorry had to get it out of my system

[dusk laurel]

since devs want him to be his own update

not a water overhaul

[lusty grove]

Yeah fovos is moonlord, moonlord was basically strong enough that he was a threat to all auric dragons in the past

[hoary berry]

whar

[lusty grove]

But yeah they are one and the same

[high lynx]

i did not see that message and i wish you didnt point it out

[dusk laurel]

so Chrysadia was this sky island civilization protected by the storm dragon Vetrasyl

it will have some ruins added ingame in the future

• the fabled aerealite books

[lusty grove]

While moonlord did lose, he mortally wounded a lot of dragons, including zeratros

And he didnt die either

[dry igloo]

I wonder what else is out there in the universe that could be such a threat.
I'm imagining Dreadon in several thousand years from now, having traveled to different planets and made armies worth of Exo Mechs to defend from such horrors.

[dusk laurel]

[dry igloo]

Ooo~

[split mortar]

Noxus is

Noxus is the next threat

[lusty grove]

Noxus

[dry igloo]

Noxus vs Dreadon with 100 years preptime.

[dusk laurel]

Noxus -> Nocust -> Locust [Noxus is a pest confirmed??????]

[split mortar]

Noxus

[dusk laurel]

noxus would obliterate the exos

[lusty grove]

Noxus is what sent DoG to our world to devour the essences of gods

[high lynx]

i think draedon really dont care

if it doesnt affect him

[dry igloo]

Fair

[lusty grove]

We dont exactly know why, but its usually theorized that its making him stronger

[high lynx]

batman has a city to protect

[split mortar]

Draedon wouldn’t really die, but would be heavily affected

[dusk laurel]

i don't think draedon knows much about noxus

except for the hivemind

[high lynx]

draedon doesnt

[stark basalt]

off topic but it would genuinely be so cool if there was a calamity extension with portals that took you to different dimensions with planetary threats, i know its probably not possible in tmod but man i wish

[dusk laurel]

why

[high lynx]

draedon saved to the cloud

[split mortar]

We will be able to go to the distortion eventually

[dry igloo]

I still think it would be interesting to see tens of thousands of improved Exomechs, all working in tandem to make beating eldritch beings from beyond the stars a simple 9-5 job.

[dry igloo]

That would be cool.

[high lynx]

it is
