I have a question tho, if it wasn't masdeath when it comes to comparing boss difficulties then what difficulty was being measured in the conversation?
also another question, is it possible to be good at terraria without dashes? or wings? under the circumstances based from the difficulty mode being measured in the conversation

tropic jolt
vocal kelp
#

The discussion was about mas death

deft lily
vocal kelp
#

Also we don't know what you mean By "being good at terraria". Using no wings or dashes will make the game harder but it doesn't change how good you are at the game because those things aren't related

#

By challenging yourself and learning you become good but the simple fact of having or not having access to a movement option doesn't actually change your skill level

amber furnace
#

ah okay

#

thanks

vocal kelp
#

Not really relevant but we guess you could like measure people's prowess while playing

#

How much they did, how quickly they can achieve certain things

#

There'll never be a fixed objective answer but you can compare

#

What level is set as "good" or "bad" will always be sort of arbitrary

#

You could argue someone who's simply incapable of achieving an objective is bad, but pass that you'd be relying on comparisons

even the best players take hundreds of tries on the hardest challenges for this mod

Ok true

But the message implied Kirby was BORING

the only thing I've ever seen of Kirby is a video of a character trying to cook Kirby and somehow turning him between 2D and 3D back and forth

i have a feeling thats from the anime

i find that somewhat impressive for some reason

imagine doing that to a terraria character

It's basically confirmed at this point but theoretically could change

In the same way theoretically i could actualy be barack obama

#

dude this is amazing i love calcastr

#

dude fabsol wanted me to use it and i said NO this makes me better entirely

dusk bronze
#

you're automatically better than fabsol on account of not being a transphobic colonialist weirdo (i hope)

amber egret
#

okay well yes

#

but i want my hill to be better than theirs

#

my dubs are greater than their

#

doze got mentioned a lot in this

#

that makes sense; they're very social

deft lily
#

Sometimes I wish Fabsol was erased from everyones mind.

lavish otter
#

Funny enough, he often is for me (at least in the sense that I don't think about him a lot)

deft lily
#

Like cool! he sucks. maybe stop beating the dead horse and give it a break.

lavish otter
#

Outside of ze controversy, he was kind of just...the self-righteous dick that sometimes gave workout advice in the Patreon server in my eyes, so outside of conversations about how development is going now that he isn't in charge, I never felt like anything was missing

deft lily
#

I've said this before but idgaf if he's named dropped when it comes to a development perspective (because good luck enforcing it otherwise)

but.. folks who continue to shit on him when its been months after it happen is getting really exhausting to look at.

#

almost like the whole point of him leaving was so people will stfu and forget about him ๐Ÿ˜“

amber egret
#

i keep him in the backburner of my mind because they're a bad rolemodel and a good way of knowing what not to do

lavish otter
#

Yeah, agreed on both of those
He's relavent when it comes to how poorly he managed the mod's development, but most of anything outside of that is kind of just beating a dead horse

amber egret
#

beating a... what.....

fierce hearth
#

Are you unfamiliar with the phrase?

deft lily
#

and honestly like, if folks want to continue to beat the dead horse thats fine but...

to me thats basically painting the message that you don't gaf about the people he hurt, since your constantly bringing him up in that context

Something kind of funny to me is how in this animation, every part of it is animated about as much as it can reasonably be, but the torso is completely static

fringe quiver
#

I'm pretty sure the people he's hurt also actively make fun of him

amber egret
#

well yea

amber egret
#

i consider the best way to start recovery is to first undermine it

#

by like joking abt it

fringe quiver
#

My point is that i think atleast some of them don't really gaf and it's not that deep i don't think
You can just say it's kind of annoying when people keep bringing it up i agree

#

Ironically by saying that stuff you're liek

fringe quiver
#

Doing the same behavior you're criticizing

fierce hearth
#

I understand that to an extent but there's a point where it's like, why are we still giving him anything, even derision. Let him disappear.

deft lily

I would like to forever stop thinking about transphobes

deft lily
#

He made his bed, let him lie in it for gods sake ๐Ÿ˜“

amber egret
#

i am letting him lie; the beds just gonna go in the corner so idont have to care about it

fringe quiver
#

I can't lie maybe it's also just because i think the fab situation was like all things considered extremely mundane save for like one thing which was actually unexpectedly deranged
Like he was just an asshole with bigotted takes i see this shit everyday

deft lily
#

Right yeah

fringe quiver
#

Like maybe this is a hot take but i don't think anything fab did was actually all that deep except for like, the allowing minors in nsfw servers thing that one was actually like yeah no that's above average levels of fucked up

#

and even then it's like

#

just being a fucking dumbass

#

like dude do something about it

#

why are they still on the server

#

A situation i actually try to handle with far more delicacy is something like Shayy per example because that was actually just. genuinely completely disgusting stuff i won't get into it here of course
but fabsol is just like

#

yep. another wedsneday

#

it's funny to make fun of him because all things considered he's a good punching bag man i can't lie ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

I can understand it gets annoying tho

#

totally respectable take

deft lily
#

As much as i hate fabsol i do sincerely hope he improves his life and moves on.

Can't say I have high hopes he will but I can only hope, given that he had been given FAR too many chances to change prior to him getting booted.

fringe quiver
#

yeah maybe this will be a wake up call for him to grow as a person or something but given his track record

#

๐Ÿฅถ

deft lily
#

yeah
but atp thats not anybody's problem here.
only his own

fringe quiver

#

the difference between CMT and CUT is drastic

deft lily

I don't look in CMT

amber egret
#

here its a tea talk, in CMT theyre outraged at someone playing with 26(?) acc slots and dying

lavish otter
amber egret
#

nah its okay

fringe quiver
#

like his crime is just being a douchebag for the most part i don't think anyone really cares that much if you joke about him
Like i dunno if fabsol like, traumatized anyone with his actions he was just kind of a dick and i haven't really seen anyone from the dev team who would've been the most affected by him really share much of a stronger opinion than that

deft lily
fringe quiver
#

it can definitely happen

Or hell, that he already has by this point, how long's it been now? A few months?

i am not excited for the current update. please add Raging Brachydios to rectify this

wooden blade
#

basically dog will be much less laggy then

ivory lark
#

well. the entire game

pseudo vector
#

the whole game is significantly less laggy

halcyon seal
#

what even caused all the lag for dog

wooden blade
#

oh ok so basically the game will be less laggy because of a dog code

ivory lark
#

it wasn't DoG code

halcyon seal
#

it cant just be lasers right bc a lot of bosses have a LOT more projectiles on screen

modern grove
#

But ig the idea is similar yeah

fringe quiver
#

Bilewater is kinda completely devastated beyond repair

#

Timeless Shores is like

wooden blade
fringe quiver
#

Mostly fine still i think? It's like the very start of the part of Ilmeris that "survived" though so it has like "scars" of the incineration still

#

Such as yeha

wooden blade
#

but yeah that's fucking cool, i won't have the impression to play at 20fps ig

fringe quiver
#

the undead enemies

#

Like i think the intent is for it to be a fairly pretty place but a fairly pretty place that's also just kinda sad

wooden blade
#

forgor the name

modern grove
#

I do think that timeless shores can be a neat sort of "build up" for crags

fringe quiver
#

Agree actually

royal garnet
# wooden blade that's interesting

Yeah the undead part is due to it being the only part of the sunken sea visibly affected by the brimstone magic of the incineration. It's like magical chernobyl

fringe quiver
#

They both dabble in the concept of the basically necromantic nuclear fallout effect

modern grove
#

Glimpse at the brimstone nuclear fallout

(Which need i say is a really cool worldbuilding concept still btw it's metal as hell)

wooden blade

And crags is the epicenter of it

You get a glimpse of it on timeless shores and then you see the actual full horror of it on brimstone crags

or well. the sulphur sea

the abyss is pretty clean since the hungry animals keep eating all of the toxins and chemicals

valid crypt

#

also not all creatures in the timeless shores are undead

ok so it means that the crags will be bigger in the fiture then?

yeah

its getting a major rework much like the amidias biome eventually

that was draedon

he was programmed to do these things he just started to get a moral code after the exos

his job being dumping car batteries on the ocean

basically yeah

Also yeah he really didn't

#

to my knowledge draedon just does whatever the fuck he wants

fringe quiver
#

#

i dont know if id even call it immoral as much as, morals simply dont exist

wooden blade
#

really?? i remember in the dialogues he said that he wouldn't hurt the nevironment from now on for his researches

royal garnet
#

Draedon is the absolute extreme of morbid curiosity

wooden blade
#

or was this changed

#

or i just misread again

fringe quiver
valid crypt
vivid hemlock
#

he isnt evil but hes done plenty of fucked up things to further his goals (in this case its helping yharim's crusade for resources)

fringe quiver
#

But this isn't morals

#

Draedon isn't a comically evil mc johnevil guy

wooden blade
#

yeah i was exaggerating when saying morals

fringe quiver
#

He has no reaosn to destroy the enviroment just Because

royal garnet
wooden blade
#

he's still arobot

and he was researching nuclear tech around that time ig

Keeping the enviroment stable means he can research it further so yeah

He dosen't want to make the local flora and fauna and such go extinct for no reason

well plaguebringers, nuclear, radioactive energy

the plague isnt radioactive i dont think?

like it still makes me mad that draedon did all of this bullshit in his life just his encouter must be so fucking mid bro

i mean i guess plague nukes but they dont function like nukes

ok ok

yeah i know

fringe quiver
#

Draedon is just fucking around and finding out

#

By definition

royal garnet
#

Yeah exos will probably get scary eventually

wooden blade

still wanted to mention it cuz it makes me mad, their my favorite bosses

#

I didn't know exo mechs were considered garbage, I thought they were fine

fringe quiver
#

Draedon prime directive: Fuck around and Find Out

wooden blade
cunning sequoia
#

i wonder if exo mechs were made specifically because fab didnt know how to make a more unique boss and just decided to make mechs 2 cause it was easier

wooden blade
#

but like it's the fact that they're supposed to be post yharon

amber furnace
cunning sequoia
#

they are. hilariously exploitable

If not the worst

#

Dog holds that title

#

not for long

#

(3 years)

distant raft
#

exos are pretty close to current dog

cunning sequoia
#

theyre simpler than the regular mechs ๐Ÿ˜ญ

wooden blade
# royal garnet How

well they're from the first update i was hyped af for, they look so cool, their (old) theme was peak, maybe the best theme in the mod imo (and that says a lot), the concept of exos is peak of edginess and aura, and their concept is cool, just too bad their fight is like... fine but then you see wrath of the machines and infernum and you're like "dude we could've had so much more"

#

also the fact that they're supposed to be on scal tier this makes me mad

cunning sequoia
#

why does that make you mad

distant raft
#

i do look forward to the exo rework dropping Eventuallyโ„ข

hollow harness

considering his obsession with avalon

cunning sequoia
#

honestly yeah

fringe quiver
cunning sequoia
#

mmm makes sense

fringe quiver
#

did you guys know exxo avalon had a enemy that was just called Turtle

cunning sequoia
#

whar...

fringe quiver
#

it also had Matter Man

hollow harness
#

his obsession with avalon in calamity was pretty much relevant considering many item names were references to exxo avalon

wooden blade
# cunning sequoia why does that make you mad

imagine a boss that's teased for years through lore and structures, saying that he was responsible of all of this, so you think "dude this guy must be a menace" then it's announced that he's on scal tier in terms of strength, you're even more hyped. Then it releases, once the hype galsses are gone, you notice that he's not a challenge and doesn't represent what draedon is supposed to be in terms of fight

hollow harness
#

phantoplasm, elemental excalibur, etc

hollow harness
#

sword of blah as well

wooden blade
#

like if anything pbg was more fun and challenging as a draedon invention (even tho it's not entirely his) than the mechs

hollow harness

so yeah i hope the rework fix this bs when it comes

(nightmare fabrications is a banger just wanted to mention it, even though it's scrapped and incomplete)

water is wet if there's more than one water molecule clearly

it depends on if you think "wet" is a modifier that gets applied to solid material or if "wet" is just a feeling

if its a modifier then water isnt wet, if wet is just the feeling of something wet then water is wet

I would not play the mod under any circumstance

i think shitting on it is kinda like the overall joke

#

explaining the problem to its extent every single time gets very tedious

yes !

the joke isnt funny

but its still a piece with a punchline

its basically dessicated atp

deft lily
#

i mean, no one is forcing you to explain anything to them last I checked.

desert garnet
#

from what i saw, many like to just say, "dont play this mod" or "uninstall this imediately"

amber egret
#

that is the objectively correct option, but it is a hassle compared to "calverhaul sucks"

desert garnet
#

instead of just saying the consequences which might occur by playing with the mod

amber egret
#

and if they do, someone will often either say

its just bad, dont play it - okay! uninstalls
it uses stolen content - okay! uninstalls

#

like theres no reason to have further point when the first point is simply enough to deter most who wander there

#

like, theres three scenarios i see here

#

scenario a: they saw it from a video, and asked because bugs abound
someone sees cal overhaul and says "hey, dont use that"
they ask why and the response is "its a bad mod"
95% of the time, they just uninstall it and go on with their day unaffected

#

scenario b: same as a, but the response is "it uses stolen content/is buggy/etc/whatever"
results near identically to scenario a

#

scenario c: they ask further
THEN someone links the pinned
they go "oh okay" and uninstall it

deft lily
#

Im ngl i think you're reading too much into this.

amber egret
#

theres not reason to supply further information and brainpower to the process when A and B just solve it

deft lily
#

esp when you're reminded: this is a discord server at the end of the day.

amber egret
#

so why are you caring about the problem in the first place

#

if its a discord server, you could just ignore the messages

deft lily
#

i dont lmao
i'm just giving my two cents.

amber egret

this reads as exhaustion and mild frustration

that wasn't typed out of exhaustion and frustration. it was more or less something to think about.

calamity character/monster design in general is like my favourite part of the game

#

Character aspects have equivalents in creatures

#

While for characters you check backstory, personality, preferences and so on, for creatures you check concept, habitat, diet, rarity, intended vibe, where it is in the grounded-mystical spectrum... stuff like that

#

For example, the alien vibe of Mega Mammoth Dragon does a fairly good job at portraying its mystical nature and distance from the present day
