Understandable
im leaving rain world to rot in there
Noita means witch in my language lol
sigma mail

I could've gotten rain world because I won a silly raffle in another server
Deltarune is free it won’t increase the taxes you have to pay
I wonder if we'll ever get another track like Roar of the Jungle Dragon
i still haven't played through all of rain world
But my ass hated hard games so I settled for a chill puzzle platformer instead
You should play gris now!
Think that's my introduction to Cal OST
Only possibilities is yharim noxus and xeroc
I think yharim would
i hope yharim's theme doesn't have lyrics
I mean, if done right, why not?
Hhhrrhh… hargharhr… hahrh…..
Heart would never sing a song
Yharim is a peepaw?
Like Hush from TBoI
130 ish years old and will die in under a decade from age
That was a joke
Funny how you can be at your peak physical form and simultaneously die from old age
you could make that argument for literally any design choice in any form of media
and sure, it makes sense
but i can't envision a theme for yharim where i would enjoy lyrics, so for now it's my wish that it doesn't have any
Just means your muscles are good not your organs
If yharim theme has lyrics it's probably gonna be a synth voice
I mean Dokuro's first composition with lyrics was Roar of the jungle dragon and it's peak
Smth smth twisted garden
Make it a nightmare like twisted garden!
Yea
I would prefer if it didn't use synth voice though
He did say that this is his first "own" composition, apparently that's a remix?
I don't like twisted garden's voice that much
Plot twist: yharin body is now 90% draetech so he’s immortal now
or i should clarify, where i would enjoy lyrics more than there not being any
oops
wrong reply
Yharon theme 2 was peak, hopefully they manage to make Yharim's theme hit the same
Lmao
Whar
trackpad moment
Have it be like SBC lyrics where they add instead of being the focus 
Yea
I'd be fine with chorus yharim
Lead vocals need to be perfect if you don't want it to be blegh
yeah we're definitely not getting anything like SBC or Rotjd for any other songs
That is a lot to do
The one good synth voiced song I've heard is a canvas without stars
That's the one instance where I think using synth was better than using a real singer
Every other one I've listened to would sound better with a real singer
Granted there isn't a lot
Since I don't listen to vocaloid/synth stuff
How many Big Macs can Xeroc make using magic
He can only make still water
Like a decade ish
Uhh my timeline might be a little fucked
I basically have Cal leaving Yharim around 1–2 years before game start
That’s closer to when braelor and statis fight yharminarm
Yes
My story has already butchered the mod and game thoroughly I don’t even see changing it at this point lol
Also hai chees
I mean yuri fan
Based
it's part of why her character is so compelling imo because having her go "wait am i the bad guy" as she's at a young age who's still figuring things out makes her alot more sympathethic and understandable than having her figure that out as a 20 something year old who definitely would have a good understanding of why killing thousands is bad
hello :D
🛸
she's still evil though ::/
and that's bad
she is literally yharim 2 she just didn't want you to steal the spot smh :/
calamitas is evil
terrarian is eviler
yharim is the best one but still a bit evil
permafrost is a good guy he just was in between yharim and calamitas who are evil and eviler
true...
but yea terrarian is the true bad guy
he did what yharim did and worse!
he killed gods and dragons alike, he killed queen bee too, he just spares claamitas cause she is evil like the terrarian but not as much and the terrarian is teaching her to be eviler!!!
the terrarian killedm y grandma
Worst of all, the Terrarian killed Yharon, and killing a dragon is literally worse than genocide!!
yharon was right
Terrarian breathed oxygen
yharon was a heroic dragon who could not even say a final goodbye to his good master yharim...
guys..... are.... are we the baddies???
are we ... a bad person?
yes we are!
I am
Very tempted to post the terrarian thing…
we slay literal gods and the dragons that the gods killed we kill millions!!!
He did though in RotJD!
yes yharim regrets it unlike us!!!
rotjd is not canon btw fabsol said this...
SBC is though, and it confirms respawning is canon!
i'm literally the saddest organism on earth what do you mean
But
Yharon doesn’t have sick ass musical while fighting us?!??:?:?! 
cant send appropriate gif for this moment smh
yesss
you're not the terrarian though you're yuri fan!
I’m the terrarian
the terrarian woudl not like yuri he would kill good people like yharim!!!
It also confirms Calamitas is a wretched maniac who wants to kill EVERYONE so much she was actually the one controlling Yharim (good guy)!
Fabsol told this
ok but
he's sad!
Draedon just doesn’t exist
It’s the brain cancer from the sulphuric seas uranium causing hallucinations
Sorry you had to find out this way
so he cant be evil
the terrarian is an evil boundless god that manifested himself in terraria calamity mod to bully nameless deity xeroc and noxus of emptiness

this must be a dream
Guys what if Calamity is just a carbon monoxide hallucination
what if calamity.... is a coma the terrarian is having
^
therefore terrarian is boundless and everyone else is outer to high outer...
That’s torch god and providence smh
i'm in a coma the terrarian is having
But omni
The dragons controlled concepts and so so the gods
wait no
yes terrarian solos goku no diff
yes!
Get out of my coma
the dragons are outer...
no you get out of mine
I don't even know if it's Omni bringing all of this to our attention but like
this is MY coma
wahr..........
I've never seen a fandom so fucking obsessed with its characters being shitfartversal
reb do you wanna hear my random crackpot headcanon that i had like yesterday regarding otonilou
tehres many actually........................................................ terraria fandom is quite funny about it though
Okay how does shitfartversal compare to gigazloingusversal
I think I have
Do it
Dragons of Creativity and Literature
Yeah that checks out
Doesn’t matter, all below yharimversal
They have humanoid bodies. but i see them right. and i think. yeah thats a fish
betaless solos
So it's just you making us aware of the bullshit 
otonilou? that's a whole ass person. shes got a person face and everything.
so my headcanon is quite shrimple
yep
theyre fish but in disguise
ive seen some very obsessed jjk fans

Sadly the powerscale users still didnt beat the outeroom and outerhouse level
unlike other illmeran species whatever species otonilou comes from is not actually a marine animal/fish turned into a humanoid but rather some form of hominid that adapted to a marine lifestyle and thus became convergently similar to jellyfish

jujutsu kaisen is outerverse level because curses are shitversal concepts and whatever
hollow purple also is because something
the dock is holding an april in its melt
Genuinely seen people say hobo and sukuna are planet level…
im just convinced the calamity fandom doesnt know what the word "exaggerate" means
I don't like jjk fans usually they tend to be annoying
Whatever the fuck is going on with the Cal fandom
though recently they've been like
not as bad
i think bcuz the popularity is dying out a bit
Old duke is outerverse 💔
'Oh he's an egotistical twat and calls himself Devourer of Gods? he must be multiversal'
I love how the fandom has the japanese names for the bosses
Been a bit since a recent update so not as many are active
yea but that's a lot more reasonable than the whole curses scale to outerverse level thing since there is a planet level feat, even if no one scales to it by themselves
That do be a good idea
his theme from 6 years ago is called scourge of the universe...
Yes
But moving into a different house doesn’t make you building level
Yeah but he isn't dimension hopping because he can scream and it outputs enough energy to tear a hole through spacetime
he can make portals but people automatically associate that with strength
Not to mention universal collapse he can destroy entire universes so he must be multiverse level!
He can dimension hop because he has a specific brand of magic that allows him to do it 
shadowspec bars are beyond explanation and therefore they are beyond comprehension which is beyond platonic concepts which are boundless or wsomething
now noxus is a diferent case
But it would take him some time to do so
(A economical ammount of time)
yharon can... roar... so um......
sometimes i wish calamity didn't use the word "god"
"incomprehensible" arguments my beloved...
I don’t get them tbh
but it sounds cool!
its a good word but oh my lord people just cannot look at it in a way that isnt "biblical God"
haha get it????
lmao
its not like through humanity story
Every story ever uses that term to describe just mythical figures, it's just that the Cal community in particular is fucking braindead
Like One Piece is right there
||Nika, the Sun God||
||No one is saying Luffy is eatmyassversal||
One thing i will say abt gods
Is that while i think its fitting for arrogant guys to call themselves gods im not sure how fitting it is for someone like otonilou
so mayhaps alot of "gods" didn't even call themselves gods and it's just that yharim called them all that because bla bla bla propanda bla bla bla to make them seem arrogant etc
The gorosei 
Oh but nucleosynthesis is star level or something
We gotta be multiversal
One piece..,
pissversal
Its likely a name that caught
Yeah
Principally with yharim godseeking propaganda
And the higher gods calling themselves so
Or atleast the more vocal guys
Monster Hunter has stuff like Ibushi and Narwa being titled "Wind God" and "Thunder Goddess", and Amatsu is referred to as a Dragon God several times; these 3 all still scale to Country Level, maybe Multi-Continent Level with some calcs but usually Country Level
A God is a powerful being with near unrivaled power over a specific aspect of the world
That's what Gods have been for
Ever

And also the fact god may be like Cthulhu
Just means something different to them
So its likely otonilou for example didnt call herself that
you dare call yourself a god you ARROGANT WRETCH!!! GRAHHHH
dude i never called myself that i'm literally a jellyfish
calamity lore would be so much simpler if yharim fucking died like he should have
But the population and stuff yes
i have been eating cthulus
Major debuff to all stats
its part of my diet
It's funny because this definition literally encompasses every single God in our world as far as I'm aware
I build different 
i don't think anybody can deny that cows are truly, great beasts
Alatreon
Isnt there a thing about even gods fearing it
I think it is more like a term that was used by the first few Gods, that is now being used towards any God, so they just had to live with the label of "God".
Goated cuz they chill and produce goated food
lmao Alatreon is referred to as "The Strongest Dragon That Even Gods Fear" several times
MH has a lot of in-universe mythology yea
It would also encompass dragons
Yes, I wonder why that is
the dragon god of evil malice

he has domain over evil
Drago = God
When it isnt even the strongest dragon

(Fraudtreon)
So they could beat terrarian?
Well, it's #2 as far as I'm concerned
it is like the 3rd strongest tbf
well, In-Universe, Alatreon was known as that up until stuff like Safi'jiiva and Fatalis showed up
kinda, at least in mainline
True there is miralis
not counting variants because
And also the other 2 members of the fatalis family
Alatreon and Safi'jiva are tied pretty much
white fatalis 💥
Monster Hunter...
If you count that
And I think Alatreon is stronger than Safi personally
Isnt safi meant to be a fatalis rival
Not at all
I mean alatreon was very panicked with safi existance
Welcome to Monster-Discussion channel, where we talk about a game series I have never played or understood.
It went out of its way to go break its eggs
Isn’t fatalis meant to be like
The dragon that all world ending dragons fear type thing
This is true
How can we make this about calamity lore...
Very factual
Alatreon and Safi'jiiva share a spot, their fight is explicitly stated to be unsure of outcome, can be argued that Alatreon has an edge as it is believed to be the "natural counter to Safi'jiiva's unprecedented power"; I'd argue Dire Miralis is slightly beyond Alatreon just based on how it was designed as the second Forbidden Monster in 3rd gen
Fatalis is kinda the biggest guy
Safi'jiiva and Alatreon are polar opposites, one directly alters the fundamental ecossystem of the world while the other hunts and destroys what Safi creates
they are close though
Its biggest feat was destroying a town (a big town yes but like not the world)
Ok but this is when it’s best
-# jk I just like seeing people talk about what they like
(it was a country)
(Yeah it was a whole ass country)
True
Ok i figured out a way
The schrade
I'm just going to do something else...
White fatalis 
Anyways
Uhh I’m unaware how high does MH scale
Talking about Dragons from Monster Hunter has made me wonder.... do we have any other official dragon designs besides yharon
Technically Dragon of Frost 
Frost dragon and vetrasyl
I think the head of frost?
That is it
can we get a dragon of gluttony drop chat...

also yeah i forgot abt frost
that's kinda why i imagine that xeroc wouldn't really like calling themselves the god of primordial light
Gluttony dragon
Fatass
Fat dragon
I want to design drop him
i kinda headcanon dragon of gluttony being like
a fatass turtle
also Fatalis ingame was implied several times to be capable of "ending everything", which the MHWI Divebook further expands as being "not a figurative expression, but a fact", and also having the entire thing of "ending every living thing"; I say Fatalis has the whole world-ending shtick but it wasn't really explained up until Iceborne
For statigel set
We ironically were talking about Dragon of Gluttony yesterday
My image for him is a mix of a big slug and yamata no orochi
Hydra Slug 
oh also triangle vanillin asked me to ask you but
are the ideas for a post ml gnasher equivalent still a possibility
before I move on, if we are to talk about the entire franchise, there's Frontier to explore for an actual strongest monster; shit gets crazy in there
the hydra mata mata creature
wilds introducing octopus monsters .... monmster hunter has peaked
I do think it's not necessarily a "Fatalis can nuke the whole world" but just "no one else could ever fathom of stopping it"
Besides a dragonator, a guy and their cat
a monster that plays a similar role, or even have "Black Dragon" in the title could work, butttttttttttttttttttttttttt Forbidden Monster is kinda impossible since that is a term referring to how they were treated prior to the 15th anniversary and stuff
Didn’t fatalis wipe a country overnight

(probs, it still is a world-ending threat regardless)
i need some fatalis lore bomb
Do people say white fatalis is outerverse

Because it has the portal intro
Yeah but there are 200 countries in our planet 
🥹
Right so humanity is killed in under 2/3 of a year
I think I saw people talk about Universe Level, Outerverse Level only comes with Crossovers
And I don't think Fatalis wiped fucking Brazil overnight
More likely to be UK sized
Which is still fucking big
Rebecca VS Fatalis is crazy
I win
Poor melom.,
the fucked-up values fireball that instantly kills you:
British
But yeah, I do have a general design idea for every Dragon
God created fatalis to destroy the british population
Except Flame
Teostra...
Be a fatalis moment
I have no idea what Flame could look like
Honestly i agree
Make it the normal fire breathing dragon 
At the same time I think, yeah generic ass dragon can work
We have so many wacky dragons
I think flame honestly would fit best being just a generic european dragon
It also fits the narrative role for one too bcuz like
yeah being evil and violent and breathing fire and being slain by a knight
yea Flame being generic dude could work
thats
So flame dragon being the nefarious medieval dragon works well
medieval dragon 101
Fair enough, I just don't consider Yharon, Vetrasyl and Zeratros to be exactly super zany so I was like
Maybe we already covered enough generic dragon stuff
Yharon is pretty zany id say... The bird
Idk about vetra or zeratros since i havent seen them
but the designs which idk if official which i've seen for vetra aren't as zany as yharon i don't think
Its a zany dragon
They fly and have fire
They look like a pheonix
No idea what's going on with zeratros i hope he looks cool doe
Would be cool if he was like
Well life dragon would be a quetzalcoatl
straight up made of light
So should xerocs god form
a furry
Nah, I think Xeroc should still look human
Like
an incomprehensible scalie
I do hope death dragon isn't just a skeletal dragon because that's the most predictable possible path to take and i'd stab someone if it was that
Xeroc obviously should look divine
Well my ideia for it was
But I think he still should look like something that you can see humanity through
Vaal hazak if it was a hydra
(Each head representing one of the horsemen and type of death)
Vaal Hazak feels so horse idk why
Zeratros should legit feel like God imo
somehow even more than Alatreon and Kirin, despite Alatreon having very horse-like sounds in some animations, and Kirin being Kirin
Maybe that’s why xeroc picked god for title 
I actually imagined Death Dragon could look like a snake
If only because Ravager's aesthetics are
Life dragon is a snake
Dalamadur.................
basilisk
Surprisingly similar to the Volcano Manor

Which god?
Quetzal
Yeah
I want a chill dragon who looks like yharon but with jesus like hair and a skateboard
Zeratros looks like nameless deity got it
So the Christian god?
Let’s make Zeratros incomprehensible yay!!
king ghidorah zeratros
Zeratros should feel like Keanu Reeves in a white coat floating in clouds under the sun
Probably closer to overall Abrahamic, just the general idea of a god above everything
And I think it's entirely possible to make two Snake Dragons that look completely distinct from each other
...y'know, I can kind of see it
He's already kind of a twink so
actually now i headcanon dragon of gluttony as a tsuchinoko
Just instead of the arcane, it's primordial light flowing in his veins
fat fuck snake dragon
wait who
Really? Never got that impression from the concept art
On xeroc pre ascend
It is exactly what I thought it was!
Xeroc Twink is carazzzyyyyyy!!!
I can't post images, but I love that weird creature
Can someone pull Xeroc's updated concept art?
I’ll do it in spoiler
We got proof! Proof!
But we need more twinks
yea they went from xeroc being GOD to being GAY and WOKE!
I love that one fucking Twink Death image
i dont want twinks
How many do we have now?
i want big buff robot men
the woke left dei has even ruined calamity...
the west has fallen billions must die
The one with slime god?
Yeah
If only I could post it
If Slime God is not a femboy I will RIOT
the woke left is forcing calamity to be woke...
Rebecca is not on the left of me
fasbol would never
you are part of the woke left...
Aren’t we all
the moon landing is just woke propaganda to make you think that the moon exists and that moonlord will kill you if you aren't woke!!!
Does having a bf count as being the woke left
that's so woke!!!
I dont know my rights and lefts 😔
just so you know
what did i miss, i scrolled up for a bit and saw more powerscaling
the right is right and the left is wrong!!! and that left in latin is "sinistrum" which sounds like sinister, therefore the left is sinister!!! and left-handed people are eeevilll!!!
Xeroc not Twink I think
Explode now
well duh, you seen how jacked he is?
Xeroc is Twink
Thrill of the double life
see the woke left is using devil magic on me!!! but i am MAN of GOD!!! and GOD protects MAN of GOD!!!!!!
If only I could horse bird you
Do it in sscls
birds are not real they are woke left government drones!!!
So what youre saying is that the people in the medieval times were right and that left handed people are evil?
Cool
yes cause the woke left!!!
i'm cheese
So the right is asleep?
the right is cool!!!
woke is a name the devil uses...
cause the devil makes himself sound cool and chill!!!
woke
Ngl if the devil appeared next to me id smoke one with him
this is what the woke left wants...
Im soo eepy i need to absorb ghe dragon of sleep
I woke up in a new bugatti
Draedon should make a big buff robot
Draedon is the big buff robot
I personally think Zeratros wouldn’t look very draconic at all
Idk why I just like the idea of him being so separated
The sun isn’t on the planet
It’s separated from the world while all the other domains are of the world 
So Zeratros domain is sperate from the others 
Maybe this was what Cei was afraid was being implied
i mean it’s also shadows iirc so
Cei didn’t want that to be public cause it implies stuff?
???
i cannot believe omni bypassed the perms for horse bird
Yeah but they apparently didn’t know that
i see
I outhorsebirded the horsebirder...
^
Because things can rebirth
What did it accomplish
What can
afaik only Auric Dragons are confirmed capable of it
because of Yharon
and his domain
Uh
Elementals 
Uhh not as far as I am aware
I think it’s there for more symbolic reasons
Life, death, rebirth
Ok but
every other domain has a very clear reason why
it’s there
Primordial light, flame, frost, death, life, gluttony, storms, and probably some others I forgot maybe
Rebirth is just there
The domain of rebirth kept in being rebirthed when it faded away and coming back 
So it’s less so the normal creatures rebirthing but how the world soul would stay alive?
that’s my headcanon
oh yeah gravity lol
What is providence the god of? She is called the profaned goddess but I have no idea what that means.
ash
Not confirmed
There’s no confirmation in game
It’s fire related and it’s likely ash but unless stated in game it can change
Mreow
Miau
No
3:<
Providence the goddess of
FUCK YOU FUCK TOU FUCK YOU FUCK TOU
common consensus is Ash but i like the sound of Cinders
It was actually the fuck you guy

i like goddess of purity/purification. bc i thinkt hats what her character/motive is ithink I think,
Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages ·
pro·fane
verb
past tense: profaned; past participle: profaned
treat (something sacred) with irreverence or disrespect.
"it was a serious matter to profane a tomb"
Her motive is to kill everything so there’s no more suffering
Purity fits more with old lore where she wanted ti burn all to ash to purify it all and remove sun iirc
oh i thought that the purjty thing still fit in the new lore
remove all blemishes and evil by Fucking Dying
Maybe? I don’t see it but there could definitely be an argument
It does, but it is more of a perverted way of thinking of purification.
yeah
Best analogy would be the Great Flood story.
pretty much yeah
yeah it's basically the Flame of Frenzy
That’s barely a big buff cyborg
he's close enough dammit
my problem with cal lore is that it still lacks much originality, but it still suffices nonetheless
Not really
i do wish it went with the feel of terraria though
Moray.
Terraria lore is kinda
Not that existent
yeah but the game has a distinct feel to it
the way it handles stuff
cal lore is good lore but for the wrong game
imo
Calamity doesn’t follow being terraria like so I don’t see why the lore has to be terraria like
its that disconnect that really irks me
How would they make it more terraria like though
thats not really what i was getting at
Then what were you getting at?
it feels almost embarrassed by being a mod for terraria
enough rhetoric
I don’t get that
Maybe for old lore (Skeletron prime) but not in new lore
calamity lore is still pretty wacky
MORE
i just wish we had more light-hearted stuff tbh
there's a robot guy centuries ahead of the rest of the world and you have to fight his oversized rgb gamer rigs cause he wants data
no i dont like multiple chaarcters in a story being te same archetype
:(
Well
Calamity lore might just not be your sort of thing then if you want more light hearted stuff idk
the lihzahrds are a good example of this; they are hauled up in the jungle temple because of the bee infestation and their deathly allergy to stings
it just needs to mesh better with the base game
They’re changing vanilla bestiary entries
when has calamity ever meshed with the base game?
They’re making the base game fit somewhat more with calamity
this whole mod has been about shaping vanilla around itself since the start basically
it has always been the edgy terraria oc tbh
it's moved from laughably edgy to just pretty cool edgy
I don’t see that nowadays
not always a bad thing to have a story that takes itself sorta seriously
and it's not like calamity is devoid of funny shit
Haiii
it's just not relevant shit
i guess it ties back to how it neglects the sandbox elements of terraria
because the overall mood of the story is pretty grim
which is already neglected by the base game tbf
wha?
If one of your points of Terraria lore being lighthearted is an out-of-game statement made purely as a joke, then I don't think you know how to make a good point.
draedon seeing the sulfurous sea, deciding that it's already fucked so might as well dump uranium and active warheads in
i'd argue cal lets you mess around like a sandbox MORE than vanilla
at least in hardmode
Terraria Lore isn't lighthearted it's just fucked 
bog off, you get the gist
ah yes, the classic argument of "shut up"
May I remind you that the "official" story had a whole ass genocide happening and to kill one of the main Bosses you must burn alive someone in the pits of hell
@snow mountain just seems calamity lore ain’t your type of thing
And if your next arguement is to literally attack someone, then I don't think you have an arguement at all...
fair
Wait so what are we discussing
Lore
for once
enough, id rather not escalate this
** **
fair
Terraria is not lighthearted, the difference between it and Calamity is that Calamity treats itself far more seriously
coming from me
Yeah can we not escalate this
terraria isn't lighthearted it's just not serious
I find Calamity to be a very grim setting
simpol
thanks for articulating it well actually
yea fair
its kinda overly grim, and thats okay
The game takes place in the aftermath of a global-scale war that saw various acts of genocide and prosecution
I have no idea if there is an argument going on
not really, id say that it nearly became one
Yeah nearly escalated but luckily didn’t
ive got the tmod experience
i think this was an unnecessary jab
I will point...
I have made a point cause I pointed
No place for sincerity here!

Sillies only!
idc
so the most important point of what ive been saying is this; please god add lore that varies the tone a bit to a lighter one
its always gloom
yea i think that's fair
Do you have any examples/ideas?
Yeah that’s fair
the souls games are actually a good example of this
its always like this civilisation fell because yharim and this civilisation declined
Braelor and Statis are silly roommates (basically couple)
The cal npc dialogue overhaul may actually help this
yeah
I think the Bestiary has a lot of silly shit but I digress
every souls game is pretty much sopping wet with grim tone and bad shit happening and war and Existence Is A Living Hell and such
i do need to brush up on that actually
Moray.
patches
Because people cause silly shit
elden ring has an absolute titan of a man with an army of loyal soldiers willing to wage war in his honor
I managed to mispronounce silly shit as shilly sit
moray eel entry is an obvious type of silly but there's more subtle ones like bloom slime
Nah
I am clueless
bestiary is pretty varied and i like that, i think less important entries can get away with funny stuff
Baby fish being used to blow up things.
and he himself is powerful enough to hold the very stars in stasis, even as his body and mind has been eaten from the inside by super cancer mold after his sister basically nuked him at point blank
Fucking wha
whimsy
Why is there suicide bombing children with the moray eels huh?
So silly :3
Cannonball Jellyfish. They also have a baby variant thats a critter.
but he rides around on a dinky little stupid ass goofy horse and you read the item descriptions, and it turns out the horse is named Leonard and the dude learned gravity magic ENTIRELY so he wouldn't have to abandon his childhood pet
what if i shot a jellyfish out of a mortar
Maybe we need to rename them into Mortar Jellyfish.
monotone lore needs to be broken up a little more noticably than bestiary entries imo
in sekiro you're an edgy badass feudal cyborg shinobi who can rise from the dead, and one of the bosses he fights is a giant monkey who shits in its own hand and throws it at him
chimp behaviour
that is what monkeys tend to do
part of what makes Souls games so great tonally is that all the serious shit is contrasted with occasional insanely silly moments
The lore items won’t change all that much since it’s yharim talking and neither will draetalk
So 2 big sources would make not much sense to be silly :(
metal gear is a series that takes itself very seriously while being the stupidest shit imaginable at the same time
real
I still think there are moments which are silly in retrospect like the fact that Plantera is Plantera
True
Or the fact that Yharim is racist
Yharim is racist?
Granted that one is funny to me because I realized it and was like
nerevar racist
"Wait holy fuck"
Yes.
what did he do
Yeah, literally calls the lihzahrds below his people
😭
be racist
When a fish bites your heel and it looks like an eel, that's a moray.
When it swims in the reef and has two sets of teeth, that's a moray.
When you're slapped in the face with a slimy embrace, that's a moray.
He literally says the Lihzahrds are matters "beneath him and his people"
real cal bestiary entry
the rewrite peaked here
It's funny because I realized it while writing the Lore Doc
I read that sentence and was like
"Wait he's just being racist"
oh true
actual peak fiction
completely forgot that
yeah thats pretty much what ozz and i were going for
tbf yharim being racist isnt very shocking'
maybe yharim is racist against lihzahrds because of their apprehension and distaste towards bees
truly the bee advocate of all time
You don’t start a world war on the basis of a group of people being evil without racism
true true
So true
You're telling me this person who killed entire nations over worshipping Gods is racist?!
byeah cal does lean more serious than terraria but i still put in silly shit here and there becuase i mean
it's terraria
it's inherintly a bit of a silly game
TBF how much gods were there to be considered an actual race
solar eclipse moment
part of my personal issue with old lore is that it felt like it took itself way too seriously for being so connected to terraria
Their worshippers were also targeted…
Will there be a lore mention of the notorious bunny statue lava slaughter machines
Yeah but that was like religionism not racism right?
new stuff seems a lil generic in palces atm yeah though
Let me check the definition
Still targeted a group based on prejudicial views
i will say one of my favrotie things in media is "thing that seems generic at first but as you learn more about it becomes anything but"
i feel like they were too different and diverse to really be considered a race or a species
though part of the issue with that is that
radahn
well it works better when it's aprt of an alreayd complete package
yup
i was really expecting SSO to be done by the end of summer originally ngl
Summer 2023?
Did it get pushed back?
so i bit the bullet on some stuff assuming that
It’s getting a part 1 and 2
.
oh wait true summer is diff timezones there

i mean hobbyist mod development is pretty much toiling over scope creep
we love scopecreep!!!!
Let that happen with brimstone crags
copecreep...
also we're having to solve a fair amount of lag issues
as of now like a lot of enemeis and abse worldgen work but it's
unoptimized
the people shall play with 1000ms
and pretty laggy
like yes be passionate and create all you want i dont mind waiting 😇
like soemtimes the game just doesn't for about 3 seconds
understandable
mostly due to pathfinding sheinanagains
btw what is going to come first the crags or the distortion
Crags
crags
crags
ah alr
Crags
Sunken Sea > Crags > Distortion
after distortion there really isnt anything planned except yharim no?
there are other things but they're a "maybe"
I thought it was
Sso
Acid rain
Crags
Astral
Distortion
F
i do think stuff like superbosses shouldn't be hyped up so much
its inviting outrage
Retcon the wrath of gods addon as canon 
i mean its still a maybe but
and ultimately i'll be pissed if we dont add noxus and xeroc after we do yharim

Tbh i wouldnt mind not facing them
poor terraria, bloated beyond its limits
some of us gotta step up and learn c# ….
would like it if we could see them atleast tho
imo those two ABSOLUTELY take priority over like. a profanded minibiome, more astral stuff, and somer overhauled abyss stuff
but also
i am a little biased
i jsut feel as though if they weren't there
Sunken Sea was beyond all else a failure of management in the sense that the only thing that was actually set in stone for the majority of the update was the enemies. Just recently did I actually sit down and decide to write shit down
i mean terraria does have a credits scrawl
i do have an ending planned that i think is pretty damn good and i think i could havea fine one if it ended on yharim but
i dont think it'd be as good
MY PHONE IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. AAAAAAAA

Lmao
offscreen the noxus and xeroc fight
🙏
I think future updates will be able to be finished in like, half the time the Sunken Sea was because now we Actually Know How To Organize The Updates
And also how much we can chew
in the same vein, that could actually be a good idea
it could be used to bring more lightheartedness to cal
Wonder how the cal credits will be like
Cal credits would be cool if done
oh true they aint guarranted
Infernum has credits
it has?
in the same style as vanilla though
Pretty sure yeah
right
The main problem is just figuring out how the fuck to even articulate the credits because of how many people developed the Mod through time, how much stuff of theirs even is in the game right now, and all that stuff
fair
i need to remember that cal has had like at least
40+ contributors over its 8 years of development
40 is around the amount that are working on it now.
Lots of people have worked for Calamity.
And also fan submits 
True.
And also meeeee :3
Dear god
I’m the most important
Contributors would increase it heavily.
god bless tomat for pushing for the mod to be open source
yeah cal credits if it were to credit everybody who even contributed to the mod would be MASSIVE
and
to be honest, due to stuff like asset submissions beign to often is
is virtually impossible to keep track of
personally the biomes take priority
i love biomes
calamity main issue rn is just how the game turn into a straight up boss rush later on
and adding noxus and xeroc without fixing that will only increase the issue
i need more world
its bad even for storytelling
as everything is forced to be placed in walls of text as there is no exploration and stuff to tell the story
surely it wouldnt be a mighty number 9 type credits right
sunken sea is also like
6 minibiome updates in one
its chungus
nichijou !
i expect stuff like perennial and profaned to take like 1/5 of the time
that sunken sea is taking
OH
OH
I've
Always misread "beneath" as "between" 😭
lol
Isn’t it 4?
We only know 4 as of now
i thought we only had 3
but yea for me the minibiomes and exploration stuff are really necessary
Ok but honestly?
principally post ml
and even work wise if im forced to work right after sunken sea on another mega biome like crags
i will explode myself
working on a smaller more self contained project is nice as a break
Imo if you want more lighthearted stuff, I say try writing lighthearted scenarios and stuff in the Calamity setting
triangargle thank you for mentioning this
We know of 5 areas. 3 without a name, Radiant Reefs and Timeless Shores.
Huh
principally considering im doing most of the sunken sea work sprite wise, i really want to work on a small thing next
I thought tit was
Timeless shores
Whatever replaces the normal sunken sea
Radiant reefs
Lava zone
(Not in height order)
Like my Seisai storyline isn't even 100% dark and gritty
there is more
Did you know, not everything is public yet
Fish lines nearly finished
(For those who don't know, I'm making up countries in Terraria based on irl cultures that have their items in vanilla)
there is 2 other fish mines
Look at the image Triangle sent of sprite progress. You see Timeless Shores at the top, Radiant Reefs, two that are combined with Radiant Reefs (2 of the unnamed) and the other unnamed is Lava Zone.
one day cal will have boids
its better than sunken sea and sulph sea so its not as urgent
one day
Ohh ok
abyss sulph sea overhaul
water overhaul
the background just being walls is kinda meh and the enemies are a bit bland but generation-wise the abyss already looks really good
Do abyss, sunken sea and sulphuric sea in one update
SUPER SEA OVERHAUL
Iverhaul
-# don’t actually, I’m just messing around

but ye after sunken sea i would like to finish
the acid rain stuff i was working on
same for sulph sea content
yey
The Monkey's Paw curls...
Calamity will not get an update for 4 years.
i mean
abyss and sulphur also have a lot less content than sunken
(the sunken cost)
yey
Sunk cost fallacy
Nice
The spoiler message you had sent ages ago of the final tier is pretty great so I’m excited for it
enemy wise abyss wont get a sunken sea treatment
it will be more of a redesign and polish the guys
i fucjing love polish
not adding new creatures (or well some but like 3 new max)
sulphur sea is p much redesigning the 2 hardmode guys (killing their monopallete), 1 more guy to hm and then 2 new guys at post ml
yea
im interested in crabulonglegs
just base sulph sea
i learned a bit more about how to control the scope creep with sunken sea
so hopefully sulphur and acid rain wont be as janded
Crabulon but legs for days
Don’t think sulp sea can be as big as sso
I think it's kinda obvious
there should be a main underground mushroom biome where ur intended to fight crabulon methinks
i very often see crab get skipped
That’s called any mushroom biome
