[blazing field]

Dragonfolly reusing Mothron's ai was actually a very clever reference on the part of Fabsol to the fact they both have wings.

[summer shore]

Otherwise known as odysseus

[lapis oak]

I understood that you just understood Fabsol's genius

[jagged cliff]

See the boss old duke's name refers to the fact he is an old duke fishron

[lapis oak]

so I understood

[summer shore]

is your name I

[blazing field]

Yharon reusing Duke Fishron ai is because they are both dragons

truly the einstein of our modern day and age

[vapid olive]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[azure oak]

what could his "true form" have possibly been

[blazing field]

a pile of (bat)shit

[jagged cliff]

obviously yharim essence

which can be used to craft the xeroc armor

[azure oak]

skeletron prime recolor

[summer shore]

blood god...

[dusk bronze]

soul of cryogen

[blazing field]

he was going to distort

[blazing field]

i can see it

[blazing field]

genuinely i can see it

[blazing field]

ive made jokes before about an alternate reality whre yharim was added to the mod instead of calamitas

and yharim started out as a skeleprime recolor before turning into like a human design

[jagged cliff]

lowkey what he said wasn't even that bad considering it was like 2017

and the rest of the mod wasn't nearly as good as it is now

[dusk bronze]

yharim essence

[vapid olive]

I remember when S.Cal was still a EoC reskin-

[blazing field]

and then the bosses that were added more recently ended up still being recycled code

😭

[jagged cliff]

Wait fr?

[blazing field]

aureus

old duke

primordial wyrm if you wanna count that

all after 2017

p sure

[jagged cliff]

I knew old duke but what is aureus stolen from?

[vapid olive]

Old Duke is just Duke Fishron but annoying.

[blazing field]

mourning wood

[lapis oak]

wouldn't say recently to those tbh

[blazing field]

not recently but more recently

[jagged cliff]

lmfao thats why it feels so shit to fight against

[blazing field]

than 2017 atleast

[lapis oak]

2018

[dusk bronze]

same as crabulon btw

[vapid olive]

I mean Calamity LOVES their worm bosses.

[jagged cliff]

i also hate the crabulon fight

[still bluff]

more worm bosses

[vapid olive]

Desert Scourge
Perforators (if you count the worm summons)
Astrum Deus
Aquatic Scourge
D.O.G
Etc.

[pseudo vector]

the number of traditional calamity worms is likely gonna go down as time goes on

[still bluff]

traditional worms are bad

worm bosses are peak though

[mighty geyser]

classic mode crabulon

[blazing field]

desert scourge is already being partially dewormified
still a worm enemy by definition but not a traditional boring ass worm enemyt

[still bluff]

like a worm boss does not have to be the traditional worm thing (and it never should've been)

[blazing field]

worm bosses are just segmented enemies really

[jagged cliff]

I think adding more worms to the worm bosses would genuinely fix the issue partially

[blazing field]

its just using the basic bitch worm ai that sucks

[gray trench]

Haihai

[dusk bronze]

pleas deworm deus 🙏

[mighty geyser]

feed me more lasers fired from each segment sequentially

[still bluff]

no

[pseudo vector]

its gonna be a segmented boss but its nothing like the other worms

[still bluff]

deus stays worm boss

[jagged cliff]

Making deus into 10 worms again would genuinely be fun

[gray trench]

HES PERFECT

[still bluff]

it just becoems the good kind of worm boss

[pseudo vector]

you'd have to take that up with tofu

[dusk bronze]

ture

[blazing field]

tofus presence in the dev team means that astrum deus remain worm im afraid

[still bluff]

yes

[blazing field]

its ok though he make him look good

[vapid olive]

Y'all remember the uhh eels from Rayman Origins?

[still bluff]

tofu knows how deus should be

[azure oak]

deus can stay as the only late-hm worm

[blazing field]

i trust tofu with my life when it comes to deus

[teal bone]

[lapis oak]

😭

[azure oak]

in early-pml it'd still have plenty of distance from other worms

[teal bone]

oh my god OZZATRON GOT ADDED???

[vapid olive]

Why does Ozzatron look like Anakin-

[pseudo vector]

[still bluff]

[azure oak]

[blazing field]

literally everyone voted yes for it

[vapid olive]

[still bluff]

apply for moderator to get more ozzatrons added to calmain

[blazing field]

no exceptions

[teal bone]

[blazing field]

it was a 15 - 1 (and the negative 1 in question was just the default reaction)

[still bluff]

the new leaf + moderator is funny btw chee

[dusk bronze]

ozzathoth moment

[blazing field]

[gray trench]

Fabsol voting no:

[blazing field]

fabsol isn't a moderator and he's DEAD

[wise bolt]

kill fabsol

[blazing field]

he holds no power over the ozzatron vote

[vapid olive]

Fabsol was found dead in a ditch (deserved).

[gray trench]

Deus can eated him

[blazing field]

i have a different solution

[dusk bronze]

hehehe

[summer shore]

Not as funny...

[dire forge]

i meant that as in, what kind of short-ass worm is that?
and you call that a star god

isnt deus supposed to actually be thousands of light years long

[summer shore]

wrong

[lapis oak]

WHAT THE FUCK

[blazing field]

deus 2 sause long

[summer shore]

he was one (1) light year long in old lore

[lapis oak]

evil mod

[wise bolt]

i concur

[lapis oak]

😡

[wise bolt]

astronomical unit long worm

[dire forge]

thats like

[gray trench]

How long is deus canon

[summer shore]

one tofullion meters

[dire forge]

still nowhere near its actual size

[blazing field]

how long it is ingame

[dire forge]

im pretty sure hes supposed to like

stretch

[gray trench]

Like 3 feet

[dire forge]

across the galaxy

[blazing field]

nah

hes as b ig as he is ingame

[dire forge]

where like, all the stars lie on him

[wise bolt]

aint that old lore

[blazing field]

yeah

probably

its definitely not new lore

probably old lore

[dire forge]

i dont follow calamity lore

at all

[summer shore]

third evil option

[blazing field]

deus was like actual god galaxy of the stars or smth of old lore (still got mogged by DoG anyways fsr)

[dire forge]

what would the "new lore" even change about that

[summer shore]

total calamity lore

[dusk bronze]

you should read the epic google doc to introduce people to lore

[blazing field]

the fact hes not a galaxy long worm

[dusk bronze]

all the lore was rewritten from the ground up 3 years ago

[dire forge]

DoG is a just a soldier in another universe and i firmly believe that

[blazing field]

well hes from the distortion

not really another universe but like

close enough

[gray trench]

If i offered deus boba would it accept

[blazing field]

soldier? i guess he kinda is yeah

[wise bolt]

god of stars ate too many gars like a yharim bar he grew very large so don't be alarmed just be on your guard and dodge when he charges

[dire forge]

also mog as in mog lord?

[wise bolt]

jteoh my fucking goat. stargod theme is so good

[blazing field]

awful

[dire forge]

whats awful

[blazing field]

horrible sprite

[dire forge]

mog lord?

[summer shore]

soldier? But I barely kn

[dire forge]

hes amazing

my magnum opus

[wise bolt]

im p sure stargod reutilizes old lore deus

[dusk bronze]

it's based on that yeah

[blazing field]

yeah i think the idea for stargod is literally just old lore deus

[lapis oak]

Kinda peak

[summer shore]

https://tenor.com/view/terraria-moon-lord-josh-hutcherson-whistle-gif-11278917756883322479

[wise bolt]

yeah

[dire forge]

[blazing field]

new deus just wants to chill and eats his stars bro

[dire forge]

i reject

[gray trench]

Chat do i make an attempt to draw 1 thing a day

[summer shore]

How long has it been since this gif was last posted

[blazing field]

hes just vibing

[dire forge]

eating stars is definitely very chill

[summer shore]

Centuries? Perhaps even a millennia?

[dusk bronze]

killing you

[blazing field]

until the illness gets to him anyways

[dire forge]

does he eat the planets too

[blazing field]

no

[dusk bronze]

no

[blazing field]

just stars

hes friend

[dire forge]

poor planets

they all go rogue

take note of taht calamity devs, add throwing planets to rogue class next

[dusk bronze]

supernova

[summer shore]

does he know

[wise bolt]

there was an idea being thrown around that after being beaten for the first time he awards you with an artifact that you can use to call him back down. this is just an idea, though, still actually has to be discussed

[modern grove]

I may misremember but I don't think old lore deus was that different

[blazing field]

itd be cute. ...

[modern grove]

Like he was larger yeah but his whole deal was still kinda the same

[wise bolt]

ya

[dusk bronze]

ehhh

[dire forge]

you can already respawn him though, no?
or are we not talking about deus anymore

[wise bolt]

still deus yeah

[gray trench]

Does deus like boba

[summer shore]

Starcore origin

[dusk bronze]

most refights aren't canon

[blazing field]

i think the idea is to call him back just to hang out with you as a friend

not as a like

boss spawner

[dire forge]

check out calval for all the full-sized worm pets you could ever need!!!

[blazing field]

much like many other old lore characters basically same core concept but the execution and ideas surrounding it were Not

[dire forge]

i made my own worm pet sprites once, for astrum deus too

i might have them somewhere

[wise bolt]

the idea is that the infected fight is a one-off thing. you can choose to rechallenge him but it'd be at his prime (uninfected, and not sapped of his strength

[blazing field]

i dont think he meant as a pet either

oh wait that's pretty cool

[dire forge]

im awaare, i was making a joke

[blazing field]

me having a sparring match withmy. worm

[wise bolt]

but you can also just otherwise interact. pet the worm

[dire forge]

lemme go find the sprites rq im curious

[wise bolt]

he thinks ur playing

[blazing field]

🥹

[wise bolt]

playing wirh my worm (getting my ass handed to me

i know the head is ugly, forgive me, i made this a year ago

i have two dog ones, but theyre no better

[jagged cliff]

Is astrum deus fat or skinny?

[wise bolt]

yeah basically

i also have a deus pet sprite i did for fun, holdon

[blazing field]

i like to think uninfected deus in terms of behavior is very similar to whales

[dire forge]

i imrpoved so much i need to remake these

[dire forge]

hi im mini bell beast thingy

[blazing field]

very curious

[dire forge]

whales?

[summer shore]

hi mini bell beast thingy

[blazing field]

specifically belugas id say

[dire forge]

is Deus wide than the sun

[blazing field]

very curious and playful individual

[summer shore]

belugas very pattable

[placid wadi]

not fat nor skin, only cosmic energy

[dire forge]

or like, wider than a normal star, the sun is relatively small

[blazing field]

does the one ingame look wider than the sun

[summer shore]

literally pillow forehead

[dusk bronze]

deus is the size it is in the game

[dire forge]

yeah but the sun is like 150,000,000,000 meters away

[jagged cliff]

Yes but does deus have a lot of it or a little bit

[placid wadi]

50 tons of condensated cosmic energy

[blazing field]

Burrower

[summer shore]

The sun is actually right above our heads ow ow ow it's hot help I'm melting ow ow ow it's ho

stars are really tiny iirc

[blazing field]

[modern grove]

Deus should have manta ray behavior

[placid wadi]

Icarus be like:

[dire forge]

so in calamity lore, the sun is 2 metres wide?

[dusk bronze]

no

the sun isn't a star

[dire forge]

like in the model for a presentation i held in elementary school

[blazing field]

no because have you seen the sun in the sky

[dusk bronze]

it's made of primordial light

stars are made of mana

deus is a worm right

worms dont have legs

[summer shore]

Worm isn't a scientific term

[wise bolt]

uuuueuueue i wanna share deus concept art but i cannot. for now

[modern grove]

Yo mama so old she remembers the first yo mama jokes

[dire forge]

if theres no other planets outside of the solar system/earth itself in calamity lore

[wise bolt]

i mustn't....

[dusk bronze]

moonlord fuckery

[summer shore]

and share the gift of deus concept art with the mortals

[wise bolt]

technically i can since its my art but the general consensus seems to be like. hey please don't

[dire forge]

whats up with moon lord anyway

hes just this big bitch who killed 99% of the dragons 500000 years ago

[wise bolt]

sure whatevee ill share a pic of his face since its the same damn thing anyway

[lapis oak]

The astrum deus rogue dev situation is crazy

[dusk bronze]

once again i suggest reading the doc

or at least go to #lore-discussion

[dire forge]

oh yeah

[summer shore]

will deus bathe in purple rain

[lapis oak]

Yo mama will

[dusk bronze]

more like 50% byeah

[blazing field]

how it feels to be privileged

[dire forge]

i made up my numbers for dramatic effect

legs = armor

wuh

[cunning sequoia]

no armor to be found

[jagged cliff]

wait what part of that is supposed to be the 1 leg

[placid wadi]

it would be funny if there was yet even more mature version of Astrum Deus that is just it after metamorphosis and we would fight a giant cosmic butterfly

[cunning sequoia]

just sosig

[jagged cliff]

cause I might lowkey just be looking at the wrong part

[wise bolt]

head's on the bottom

[summer shore]

The round ones are leg I think

[wise bolt]

Stubby legs

[cunning sequoia]

does hell exist in calamity lore
or is the underworld hell

[cunning sequoia]

[jagged cliff]

yeah those just look like armor segments kind of

[modern grove]

Moth caterpillar from rain world watcher

[dire forge]

how does he walk with these

[modern grove]

This will be deus in 1

[cunning sequoia]

theres no confirmation of an afterlife in calamity

[dire forge]

theyre so short

[wise bolt]

there's only like,, 3 sets so it will not be a repeated segment type thing

if that's of concern

[jagged cliff]

oh nvm then

[wise bolt]

ya

[teal bone]

https://tenor.com/view/update-is-fake-gif-7871202926367838366

[cunning sequoia]

there are definitely religions in-universe that include an afterlife but as far as we know its not a confirmed thing to exist

[jagged cliff]

I was just concerned about how the "legs" aspect would be communicated

[blazing field]

worms don't have to repeat the same segments all the time

[wise bolt]

he's largely worm-esque still but not just repeated segments

[summer shore]

Short worm deus ⁉️

[wise bolt]

INCHDEUS

[summer shore]

oh wait I se

[stiff light]

dude hes so silly

[blazing field]

look at new desert scourge

[dire forge]

how many legs does he have

[jagged cliff]

It'd be cool deus had like fleshy bits and then like energy segments for the legs

[blazing field]

he fly

[wise bolt]

stupid baby

[summer shore]

Deus should get. blankie

[blazing field]

he lives in space he dont need to walk

[dire forge]

then why does he have legs...

[lapis oak]

;(

[blazing field]

grab onto star

[wise bolt]

the legs are not for walking, they're for clinging onto stars to feed

[stiff light]

hes beautiful and whimsically travels through space

[summer shore]

he doesn't have feet je has hans

[dire forge]

wouldnt claws make more sense then

[cunning sequoia]

most bugs have legs

[stiff light]

hes like a monkey

[cunning sequoia]

flying bugs i mean

idk how i forgot a word

[wise bolt]

consider: inchworm nubs funny

[dusk bronze]

what the fuck are ghosts then

[cunning sequoia]

idk

[modern grove]

My deus had legs too hahaha

[jagged cliff]

where do you think Yharon goes before being reborn

[wise bolt]

LEG GANG

come on

[blazing field]

that thing

[summer shore]

Chameleon legs

[dire forge]

why is everyone an awesome artist

[cunning sequoia]

probably dormant as an egg

[stiff light]

aw lil worm

[dusk bronze]

his soul teleports to the dragon aerie

[jagged cliff]

That means the dragon aerie is one afterlife

[placid wadi]

looks a bit like rain world pole plant

[wise bolt]

i love inchworms dude theyre so evil

[jagged cliff]

Confirmed

[dusk bronze]

not really

[stiff light]

shoutout to millipede, top 3 bug right there

[wise bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/worm-gif-3544848

[cunning sequoia]

its not rly an afterlife because yharon isnt dead while reviving

well

[stiff light]

goober

[wise bolt]

yo mama a bug

[cunning sequoia]

its like an inbetween

[jagged cliff]

Isn't that the point

Hes supposed to die

and be reborn

hes legit rebirth

[modern grove]

Constellation magic hollow knight seal of binding type shit

[cunning sequoia]

its like a waiting room for him

[modern grove]

Not super happy with it

But I like the idea

[wise bolt]

still rly cool......

[teal bone]

look at this specimen...

[jagged cliff]

is this based off of a stingray

thats lowkey a cool idea for a worm boss

[wise bolt]

GOOD ASS CREATIRE DIDE

https://tenor.com/view/go-to-sleep-go-way-inchworm-gif-14873673

[modern grove]

It's inspired by tomopteris

[placid wadi]

the bottom part looks like it would form into AoE from WotG

[modern grove]

It's planktonic worm creature

[jagged cliff]

Isn't that more in eidolon wyrm territory

[cunning sequoia]

the wormiest worm to ever worm

[jagged cliff]

Lowkey i do want to see a gossamer worm like enemy in the abyss

[modern grove]

Idk man eidolon wyrm is an iteration of the ghost leviathan ripoff

[jagged cliff]

Or even just tripod fish

[wise bolt]

so silly..

[modern grove]

Ideally eidolon wyrm should be something different I think

Tho tbh it would look a lot cooler already if it took more direct inspiration from hammerhead sharks

[jagged cliff]

It should be called old golem and be the ancient abyssal golem made by silvazhards

[modern grove]

They're so cool

[wise bolt]

i do wanna take a crack at redesigning a few worms for fun

i did have something for storm weaver, initially just a simplification for drawing but i did grow kind of attached to it

[jagged cliff]

I do think the new sprite definitely leans into the hammerhead aspect

[modern grove]

The coolest part of hammerheads is how their eyes are placed on the sides of the hammer face

It's not the same when the head has similar silhouette but eyes are placed normally

[wise bolt]

thang

@blazing field ur son

[jagged cliff]

Im just confused why its called a wyrm

if its a worm

[blazing field]

MY SONNN

Wyrm is a word for dragon

i lovehim.. deeply ...

[modern grove]

Long snake like dragons

[jagged cliff]

lowkey a deep sea dragon would be cool though

[wise bolt]

sky fish 🐛

[jagged cliff]

but I think that niche is filled by the reaper shark

[blazing field]

beloved fishworm

[blazing field]

thgats a shark i think

[modern grove]

The term worm doesn't mean anything, it's a blanket term

[wise bolt]

yo mama a worm

[modern grove]

It's not like there's a group of organisms called "the worms"

[jagged cliff]

Its a shark but it still resembles a more reptilian creature

[modern grove]

There are different unrelated groups of organisms all called worms

[wise bolt]

sounds like a band

[jagged cliff]

Like those legless salamanders people call worms

[modern grove]

Worms is more of a body structures and style of living

You can call snakes worms too

[wise bolt]

mole lizard..

[wise bolt]

dude

blind snake

[blazing field]

i do not see how at all i cant lie

hes just a weird shark with buff man arms

nothing about his design really says reptilian to me

[blazing field]

let alone a dragon

[wise bolt]

just worms with eyes and a mouth

[modern grove]

Evil Fucking arms

Kill arms

[cunning sequoia]

that 5th picture is me

[blazing field]

the arms look so stupid 😭

theyre literally just like little manlet arms

[wooden blade]

CNJDFSHY8SGAFUYA FGBUYDG CUTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE

[wise bolt]

why do you scream

[cunning sequoia]

aaaaaaaa

[jagged cliff]

Fishes are inherently reptilian in my mind js because they share similar traits

[wooden blade]

pog face

[blazing field]

ok then every fish is reptilian

[wise bolt]

sir you are causing a scene

[modern grove]

I hate this troupe of sharks with limbs dude sharks are so gracile and beautiful with their fins, they always look so ugly with arms or legs or whatever

[wooden blade]

radiance if he was a calamity boss

[cunning sequoia]

its a trope?

[jagged cliff]

I'm just thinking that the reaper shark fills the niche of the sharp toothed, long snouted, armed creature in the abyss

similarly to what an underwater dragon would be

[wise bolt]

make primordial worm a lindwyrm (shrug

[modern grove]

It kinda is you see sharks with limbs in media from time to time

[wooden blade]

sharks do have limbs

[cunning sequoia]

i canf think of any examples other than reaper shark ngl

[modern grove]

You know what I mean

[cunning sequoia]

hate

[wise bolt]

😭

[wooden blade]

let me tell you how much i've come to h-

[wise bolt]

rly funny sprite

[modern grove]

Jeff (I think it was his name) from marvel rivals, the shark dude from suicide squad

[wooden blade]

bro got all that uhhh....
spins the wheel
fnaf on him

[summer shore]

Beam chainsaw man

[jagged cliff]

jeff is kind of meant to be a landshark though

[modern grove]

Jeff isn't ugly but he isn't a shark lol. He's a dog with shark head

[jagged cliff]

and the sharkman from suicide squad is just related to atlantis

[wooden blade]

he's a land shark to be specific

for some reason there are comics where he has fins in addition to his paws

[modern grove]

I dont car I don't like this troupe anyway

[wooden blade]

me too just respect my goat

[jagged cliff]

Grimm Troupe?

[wooden blade]

kills you

[modern grove]

I used the wrong word all this time boaring myself

[jagged cliff]

ngl I'm surprised calamity doesn't have a hollow knight weapon somewhere

Like even just a nail melee weapon

[modern grove]

There is radiance summon weapon

[jagged cliff]

whats it called?

[modern grove]

It's not in your face but it's pretty direct

[wooden blade]

new magic weapon where it's just the knight throwing soul projectiles

the terrarian holds them like a dog

[summer shore]

Clueless

[jagged cliff]

is it the predecessor to that eclipse item that is getting reworked

[summer shore]

[summer shore]

I only know because nycro talked about it

[lapis oak]

I know what u are

[cunning sequoia]

daedalus golem staff thats the name

[summer shore]

I would never be ideasguy

[cunning sequoia]

its not as obvious as smth like murasama but it is a reference

[jagged cliff]

daedalus is actually a reference to the terraria item called daedalus stormbow

[modern grove]

Terraria invented Greek mythology

[jagged cliff]

which is also a reference to the greek mythological character daedalus

[summer shore]

The god of sunlight was named after green eye

[modern grove]

They should make xeroc green

[jagged cliff]

Xeroc armor?

[modern grove]

Neon green

[summer shore]

xeroc if he smoked blunt

[jagged cliff]

Hes actually red and blue

actually

[summer shore]

Ourple

[modern grove]

Sun is radioactive and radiation is neon green this makes sense

[summer shore]

Xeroc sings radioactive by imagine dragons

this is because xeroc can imagine dragons

[jagged cliff]

[modern grove]

I still stand by this

[cunning sequoia]

idk who prince is i havent gotten that far in rain worl

[modern grove]

Making noxus very chill and friendly and not in a deceiving way but like, genuinely, while his influence actively corrupts the world and he's aware of it but it's a part of his vision for making the world better. Idk how better to describe it, prince is very awesome and you need to learn more about the rot to fully get it

[wise bolt]

true.

[jagged cliff]

lowkey might put that into an ai image generator to see what comes out

[dusk bronze]

rainworld controls make me sad

[modern grove]

Prince tho is inherently tied to the nature of rain world's cosmology

what about the utilization of ai for the calculation of protein structures

it is stealing from artists

is ai art needed for calculating protein structures?

newsflash: neither are actually artificial intelligence

[modern grove]

But he stays friendly to us for the entirety of the game, even if our actions actively clash with his intents

[jagged cliff]

Yes, you need to draw out polarity and charge using ai

[dusk bronze]

that's not how ai works

[modern grove]

He supports us no matter what!

He's so cool!

[wise bolt]

prince beloved..

[granite smelt]

prince makes me think of other things but that's just me

how is ai different from a person looking at art and using it as inspiration?

He's the rot prince

oh boy

we gotta kill this guy 🥹

[summer shore]

oh sweet baby boy

[dusk bronze]

ai is more similar to tracing

because it just mashes art together in a meat grinder

[jagged cliff]

who is to say that we don't do that

[dusk bronze]

i am to say

because that's stupid

[jagged cliff]

elaborate?

[gloomy grove]

you can teach yourself how to draw

you don't need classes

yharon in 2060

[plush carbon]

Kraid

[blazing field]

Yeah that's Kraid

[modern grove]

He's generally inspired by birds of paradise

He's not as colorful ig

I think I initially wanted to give him more colors but it got lost in the process

[dusk bronze]

what the fuck is wrong with the horns

[jagged cliff]

no idea

[blazing field]

He's straight up built like kraid

[jagged cliff]

found it on the fandom wiki

[jagged cliff]

yargreen

[cunning sequoia]

poisoned

[dusk bronze]

he's green because he can be placed there

[modern grove]

I don't see the vision

[plush carbon]

He takes up 5 screens

[blazing field]

Being that is born to Consume and nothing else
Other beings have a choice in what they wish to do, they can grow and change and carve their paths in life. Noxus can only consume and its inevitably destined to doom itself when it eventually consumes everything, if it is to be sucessfull in its role
Also ties in to Calamity's narrative theme of Change by having the big bad distortion creatura be a being literally incapable of Changing

Even Yharim ultimately chose this path for himself, Noxus is basically just a living stomach

[modern grove]

Wait is that really AM's deal

Or ig his deal is not being able to achieve what humans can

Because it's not in his nature

[blazing field]

I mean AM's whole deal is that it fucking hates humans because they can do so much more than it can while its literally, by programming, only built to Kill People

They give him Awareness of all of these things yet he cannot do any of them

Both due to being a computer that does not have an actual body but also due to his programming literally being Kill People

[summer shore]

[blazing field]

noxus am hate speech

[summer shore]

Pretty shure someone said noxus' deadly sin is envy or smth

So it tracks I think

[modern grove]

This is kinda similar to prince and rot tbh. Prince and his rot kingdom do consume everything they can, because it's what rot is. And Prince can't really change that, because he's sort of like a "self" that was born from this rotten mass. But he's aware of what he's doing and he does so to fix the problem of death and rebirth that plagues every being in this universe

Rot is like a fundamental force it seems, that is tied to karma fuckery and imbalance or something like that

But again to me the coolest part of prince is how friendly he is to us

[woeful pagoda]

tf why he got holes

[blazing field]

big spikes come from there

[final pine]

despite your spritework he will always be mothron

[blazing field]

he shoots them at you

[woeful pagoda]

Did Satan stab him with his big ahh fork or sum?

[blazing field]

idk hes a weird alien

[plush carbon]

You have to climb the spikes to reach Kraid's head

[woeful pagoda]

[summer shore]

wrong

Rewo

[blazing field]

hes also probably fully sapient given hes a space pirate commander so theres that

[plush carbon]

He also shoots his claws out and regrows them and its Kinda fucking gross

[blazing field]

yeha hes nasty

[modern grove]

Fortunately folly no longer uses mothron ai, now it uses nailhead ai

[blazing field]

the nails are replaced with draconic swarmersw

Replaces folly ai with voidling ai

[modern grove]

Remember when eyezor almost got axed

[summer shore]

I meant that one bird risk of rain

alloy humter

[woeful pagoda]

kinda have to glaze the update a third time, can't wait what the devs have been cooking up with the next update 👍

[blazing field]

wait what

what'd my goat do..

[modern grove]

Solar eclipse was expanded in 1.3 right

I think they wanted to axe eyezor because he didn't really fit the old horror movie theme of the event and was an original addition, but I think the community feedback made relogic change their mind and keep him

[blazing field]

thank god...

literally best solar eclipse enemy

[modern grove]

I remember when he was the strongest

And scariest

[blazing field]

eye spring is funny

[modern grove]

It probably was like the closest relogic got to cut something existing from the game

Don't think they ever did anything like that anymore?

[hardy gulch]

theres one alchohol the caldevs forgot: sake

literally ale but with double the duration and sold by travelling merchant

[teal bone]

@dull heart

[halcyon seal]

Caribbean Rum sounds awesome ngl

[stuck kite]

its the same thing

[halcyon seal]

It gives the same buff so I can’t imagine anything’s different

[stuck kite]

whatever ale is applies to sake

[high scaffold]

Starlight river has this cool feature that shows what buffs and debuffs certain weapons armors and accessories apply and make immune to

I wish this was in calamity too

Or better, in vanila

[wooden blade]

make it a new beer and call it "xeroc's sake"

[iron dew]

drinking it should make you really bright for no reason

[wise bolt]

old sky cotl glow spell

[teal iron]

Now that the non SSO stuff is its own update, will the SSO still be divided in 2 parts or will it just be one update?

[hushed hazel]

undecided

[modern grove]

drink that makes you old

[iron dew]

brewed by combining a turtle shell, a green dye, and a hammer...

[high scaffold]

If it will still be taking long I think more likely to be in 2 parts to not starve us out of updates

[pulsar cobalt]

fuck you kiriblue

[pseudo vector]

SSO was essentially already split into 2 parts

you could say its now in 3 but getting all this other stuff out makes SSO more of an update focussed around the sunken sea itself rather than everything else overshadowing it

[high scaffold]

Pre hm and main SSO in part 1 and hm and SSO related in part 2

[wooden blade]

so will the crabulon rework be in the crabstorm update

[high scaffold]

SSO 2 since it escaped sunken sea (overhaul part 1)

[icy sphinx]

i wish a crab biome become real

or a full sea update aswell and not just sunken

[wooden blade]

oh ok fair

[high scaffold]

Arent mushroom mini biomes getting tweaked a bit in SSO 2?

[wooden blade]

there's a sunken boat in the mushroom biome iirc

[high scaffold]

Dreaming of, regular sea is a nothing burger

[icy sphinx]

i know

thats why i wish it gets a bit of care

we could get an underwater kingdom with NPCS n stuff

[viral merlin]

SSO this year for sure

[icy sphinx]

whats SSO i lowkey dont understand

sunken sea something

[blazing field]

sunken sea overhaul

[icy sphinx]

oh

[viral merlin]

Suspicious Swine Overlord

[modern grove]

seven seven one

[high scaffold]

Regular sea is: 1, small; 2, basicaly only has water chests as its loot; 3, no importance to progression as a biome, only with bosses

[icy sphinx]

is the overhaul also nerfing the annoying squid that never leaves me alone?

[plush carbon]

For suuuuuree

[blazing field]

Nerfed back in 2.1

[wise bolt]

thats sos..

[icy sphinx]

its still 100% per hit

fot me atleast

[modern grove]

remember when we all were waiting for 2.1? good times those were

[viral merlin]

No one uses it sorry

[icy sphinx]

idk if i have a mod that changes it

[high scaffold]

Wont be

[icy sphinx]

why tho

it makes fishing useful for once

[viral merlin]

So you actually play the game

[icy sphinx]

i only use it for light souls

[blazing field]

fishing is useful already

[icy sphinx]

and uhh

[viral merlin]

And don't skip anything

[icy sphinx]

yeah

[icy sphinx]

not always

[blazing field]

yeah

thats

not a bad thing

[icy sphinx]

i do skip sometimes (ROGUE IS ASS)

[blazing field]

it's optional content that gives you benefits if you interact with it but youre not forced to

[high scaffold]

Because skipping progression is bad unless its a self made challenge like going for cultist as first boss

[blazing field]

that's like Good

[icy sphinx]

yeah but like if it had a bit of extra fun things its be alot more fun

[blazing field]

because not everyone likes fishing so if you dont wanna touch it, you dont need to
but if you do you can get some helpful st uff

[viral merlin]

Me when I lowk hate the game but I'm in a mood to play it so I skip through 60% of the content

[blazing field]

how is reaver shark a extra fun thing

[icy sphinx]

u cant do cultist first boss unless u beat wall of flesh and someone else

[icy sphinx]

i meant like

sudden random loot

[blazing field]

... thats

what fishing is

[icy sphinx]

wait

[blazing field]

thats like literally waht it is its random loot

[high scaffold]

That one mutated cultist in abyss

[icy sphinx]

i meant as in like

swords

like adamanitensword

[blazing field]

falcon blade

[icy sphinx]

if ur in hardmode

[icy sphinx]

never got that

i fished in every biome

i never got it

[blazing field]

iron crates

[modern grove]

fake fishing fan

[blazing field]

terraria players whne they discover that the game isnt designed purely around combat

[icy sphinx]

yes i hate doing side quests that barely give anything

i js wanna make fishing be more fun than a afking thing😭

[modern grove]

terraria players when the light is running low and the shadows start to grow

[blazing field]

then that just means fishing is not for you

which is ok

you dont have to force yourself to fish

[high scaffold]

1.4.5 will improve it

[icy sphinx]

i still do it on hardmode cause of the ores i gey

[modern grove]

fishing requires more dedicated mindset yeah

[icy sphinx]

i legit skipped mining because of fishing

[blazing field]

Making fishing more fun wouldn't be solved by just adding random stuff to its loot pool

It'd require actually changing its mechanics

Whic hi think 1.4.5 is doing a bit yeah

[modern grove]

does it

[icy sphinx]

i never checked what 1.4.5 is adding

[viral merlin]

Purely maybe not but 70% of it is

[high scaffold]

Isnt calamity reworking its fishing rods to be unique in the future?

[modern grove]

ig now that you can see what you're fishing up it would require more attention

[icy sphinx]

more fishing rods and tools!!

[blazing field]

I generally like fishing bc i think its a nice way to just chill out but also im one of the rare terraria players that actually spends most of ther time doing shit like building or fishing or searching for extremely specific items for my collection ra ther than actually making meaningful progress

[viral merlin]

Fishing sucks in every game it's in and it'll always be this way because it's impossible to make it fun

[blazing field]

i dont even like terraria combat that much 😭

[blazing field]

Subjective

Stardew valley fishing is very fun and well designed

I do like terraria fishing but its kinda poopy

[zealous saddle]

calamity is actually being updated?

[blazing field]

Yeah

[modern grove]

hades fishing is very silly

[blazing field]

this month or the next

[zealous saddle]

what fantasy am i living in

[blazing field]

videogame fishing fans when real life fishing walks in

[plush carbon]

Allegedly

[viral merlin]

Show me a game that has fishing but doesn't use Stardew catch mechanic or the super basic timed click terraria has

[plush carbon]

Rumor has it

[high scaffold]

Actualy I quite like minecraft "fishing"

[icy sphinx]

i never liked building because the angler does not deserve a house.

[blazing field]

Webfishing

A game literally entirely designed around fishing and nothing e lse

[viral merlin]

I will disagree with you respectfully

[blazing field]

Got really fucking popular for a while btw

Like you do literally nothing other than fishing on it

[woeful pagoda]

W

[modern grove]

terraria fishing is very basic but i dont think its bad

[plush carbon]

I played webfishing once for 10 minutes and got bored and never touched it again

[viral merlin]

It's dead in the gutters because the developer was chased off by dumb idiots

[modern grove]

it would be bad if you need something specific and is in the rush

[blazing field]

I am aware yes

[thick parrot]

I'm really bad at building stuff in games in general

[modern grove]

so you lose your mind because you dont get what you want

[thick parrot]

i don't mind fishing but I love just slicing enemies to ribbons

[viral merlin]

Yes I know webfishing bought it day 1 but it's fishing is still lackluster

[high scaffold]

We should be able to fish with swords and guns in terraria

[thick parrot]

pull the fish out with the rod then shoot/stab it

[modern grove]

but like, if you approach it with different mindset, be more relaxed, it would be a lot of fun

[blazing field]

Yeah fishing is just a nice way to relax

It's basic but its nice 2 me and i think saying fishing is just inherently bad or wtvs is just wrong its entirely subjective

It's more so that you just dont like fishing which is Ok

That's your choice/preference and its understandable

[thick parrot]

indeed

[high scaffold]

Id prefer shooting it down while its still swimming in water, also you just described blood moon fishing

[blazing field]

Realistically i think people that dont like videogame fishing wouldnt like real life fishing either because alot of complaints i see about videogame fishing are taht its like sitting around not doing anything

[thick parrot]

[blazing field]

and real life fishing is like that but more

[thick parrot]

I could never do real life fishing

[blazing field]

youre just sitting not doing anything 80% of the time

[thick parrot]

i'd be bored out of my mind

[blazing field]

I already spend a significant amount of time in my home doing nothing but listening to music

[viral merlin]

Fishing defenders after sitting in one spot for until they grow a beard (they caught a whole can of soda tho)

[thick parrot]

MOOD

[blazing field]

Fishing is basically the same thing but i get to enjoy the air outside and the cool scenery and nature and such

And maybe catch a fish while im at it

It's just nice and relaxing

[icy sphinx]

i let my fish rod auto fish for me for like an hour and i got 1k chests

[modern grove]

i hope god adds reaver shark irl so that all my wasted time wouldnt be in vain!

[icy sphinx]

[blazing field]

You did that in real life? That's fucked up man

[blazing field]

true

naw man

in terraria

[zealous saddle]

gender battle ahh discussion💔

[icy sphinx]

i nevet fish in the sand

[wise bolt]

just jump in the water and grab the damn fish

[thick parrot]

just go up to a mountain, pull out the shark and just mining through it

[icy sphinx]

does that method work with sand?

[blazing field]

bizzare user

[icy sphinx]

i dont wanna spawn that desert shark boss

[zealous saddle]

what is even bizzare abt me

[blazing field]

the comment you made was bizzare

[zealous saddle]

but tbh i like fishing too

[thick parrot]

definitely bizzare

[blazing field]

so i think thats my bad i shouldve said bizzare message rather than bizzare user
