skill issue
are embeds on discord just dead right now?
How unbecoming.
sabotaged by fabsol's ghost
It seems so.
cuz someone just embed failed in another server too
???
Anyways yeah i think that people are far too strict and pedantic about "god" when its come tocalamity lore
deranged lihzahrd isn't cool enough
WADDLELESS CUT
fuck prikki and tofu i guess
do u have secret owner role
is that an embed or did you just upload this gif
YAAAY
LMFAOOOOAO OH MY GOD
Mods and devs banned from embeds
meow
bubby :)
uploads definitely arent broken embeds might be though
tofu specifically isn't allowed to embed
calamity mod
ITS JUST US TWO ??
wow okay yeah they're dead
me trying to say something meaningful while the horrors happen
oh nevermind GAHAHAH
women.gif
is this a coup
grrrr
imagine not having gifs
what the hell
HORORS
make me cool!!!!!
free xp
tofu why is it necrozma gangnam style
btw do you guys want a bee
the family
this is absolutely a coup
KILL AGNES TACHYON RAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YAAAAAAY
🐝
I love them!!!
please continue we apologize
Chud family
The Astral Infection is a particularly unfortunate piece of Calamity content due to having barely any point to even existing.
WOMEN.GIF??
GAHAH
oh my god im gonna murder discord
WOMEN.GIF
gimme a sec
women.gif
GIGGLING
🤔

i love women.gif
a classic
It is completely orphan of meaning ever since Noxus was untied from it, and now only exists for the sake of it.
WHY IS IT AN EMOTE
i just scrolled to the bottom of my favorites and picked the first thing that loaded
didnt even know astral was noxus related originally maybe i was onto something in my earlier days
i found the gif i was talking about earlier but i cant share it cuz discord is eating itself
wtf why is it an orphan
no parents 😢
Yes, Noxus was originally the source of the Infection.
reminder that noxus was originally goozma, the super form of slime god
im the source of the astral infection
can we get five thousand hogs

in short, slime god has had a disproportionate effect on the mod and its culture that people seem to forget
prior to joining dev i had the stupid idea in personal writings that noxus had sicked geldon on terraria to spread the astral and cause problems
go my slime
here it is
Ever since distortion was made a thing, astral really just felt so pointless (and that’s not even accounting for the actual ingame implementation) and it’s unfortunate
Slime God has, invariably due to its variants, led to:
- Goozma
- Noxus
- Astral Infection
- Avatar of Emptiness
😭 what
@urban cloak check again
i understand that the astral infection barely exists but i still rly like the vibes 😭 thats probably mostly the music but like
YES
YEEESSSSS
YOU UNDERSTAND
astral infection feels lame ngl purely because it coincides with the hardmode
tofu is the biggest astral vibe enjoyer
bitch
which. has a buffed world evil and a new infection biome

so you're adding an extra infection biome at the same time
astral infection is like the one thing that could be completely axed because of its current implementation being so dogshit
yea it aint working
It’s truly incomprehensible
good question
im so ill about the astral i need to be put down
not really because it doesnt spread
which makes it even worse!!!
unfortunately
The Infection isn't terrible creatively, but logistically it is a nightmare.
it's CALLED INFECTION
YET IT DOESNT INFECT
BECAUSE THATD BE AN EXTRA HEADACHE AS WELL!!!
in all honesty Astral Infection needs to be pushed up progression
No.
punk.
genuinely the only reason i want it to stay currently is because the music is a banger and rogue needs an early hardmode armor set
astral needs to be entirely post DoG
I think more exploration content is good but Astral is in a very odd spot right now
Astral is really funny when remembering it originated from a recolored meteor
i think astral needs to be post yharim guys trust
beautiful gif how i have not seen this
goodbye astral biome
The Heaven-Sent Abomination is like my favorite song 😭
watching people complain about astral whilst sitting on 3 messages worth of braindump i had about the biome because the contents surpassed even nitro character limits
Astral will be turned into the distortion just like I always envisioned
true
im all ears umamusume gif

The Astral Infection has even less of a purpose in Post Moon Lord, as it would completely overlap with the Distortion.
uou will be killed
honestly it doesnt need to be moved into post ml
like the issue is just that it doesnt do anything
it just shouldnt spawn at the beginning of hardmode
astral should be a distortion subbiome
in all honesty it could just be pushed upwards to a later boss
the issue is if it doesnt where does it spawn
Truth nuke
it should spawn based on the amount of HARDMODE bosses you slay
which. can be literally any hardmode boss
I unfortunately do get why astral could totally be axed but i would be so sad to see it go
but ik theres like a fucktillion things wrong with it but mannnn
Bring back when the meteor only fell post-geldon
YEAh
genuinely where else would you make the meteor fall in progression
because in terms of major progression tiers your options are post 3 mechs (could work) post plant (bloated) post golem (also bloated) and post cultist (fake tier) if you want to keep it in hardmode
i have thoughts and ideas i want to execute for the place but i still need to sift through them and actually plan them out
Meteor falls on a set timer so if you’re slow enough it’s pre-boss
The Heaven-Sent Abomination genuinely fucked me up the first time i heard it i cant not be attached to this biome
aweugh sure
that is really funny honestly
it is interesting
you just see it getting bigger in the background like the fucking fortnite meteor
crackpot idea: make astrum aureus be fightable somehow without the astral infection
make beating aureus spawn the astral infection
after you first go underground you get a status message telling you a meteor is approaching
it'd be really funny
that would be kinda cool
tbh
then it just very slowly approaches over the next several hours or smthing
like, somehow we could just rewrite astrum aureus to be a space probe draedon sent that somehow came back infected
i like how your thought is the fortnite meteor and not the majoras mask moon
astral is what got me where i am which is insane for me to remember 
every boss you kill drops the time so if you speedrun 100%ing up to aureus it drops
well its a meteor not a moon so fortnite is what first came to mind
post 3 mechs isnt a great tier for it even if there isnt a huge bloating problem because in vanilla and in calamity post 3 mechs doesnt have a whole lot of time there because you ARE incentivized to pump out a plantera arena asap and just bumrush plantera and get to that progression point
back when fortnite was good
wasnt actually even incredibly invested in calamity initially until i stumbled across the astral
complete 180°
astral infection changed to be a giant fucking crater that obliterates your snow biome
its just so , ,, , vibes ,, , , 🥹
lo and behold 3-4 years of mindmelting hyperfixation later
@urban cloak i had a similar idea actually, but in this case it'd be astrum deus if he was a comet
and at some point you just see him fly past the sky and then fire a meteor down
i miss my worm.
no i vibe with that
i would like to do an animation where you can see the meteor falling later
but thats kinda dependent on what happens to astral as a whole
It would be kinda peak to watch it happen very slowly over time instead of instantly in hardmode at least, although there’s might be some problems but lets ignore whatever those may be
okay im like tofu here i really fucking like the vibes of the astral infection too
i do not want to obliterate it
instead
ignore all the problems
again it is less replaceable than the plague
It’s that easy
i'd KILL to see more stuff like this because it really feels more immersive (??) but it conflicts with other plans and im like
AUGHHH
this is really cool. but that is better for gameplay. but
the plague tho important lore-wise is seriously replaceable
hell. hell. hell hell he
like i said
if astral infection is axed i will begin the carnage
like i want to believe in the future where astral becomes good because its so coolll i like it and i want the cool music to be with a cool thing for realll

if we axe infection im leaving the dev team /j
woag
*if we axe infection im leaving the dev team
Seeing Astral actually happen would make Aureus happening during the game feel more real (also you should just find him in the astral after a certain period of time instead of stupid summon items)
we'll start astralamity
anyhow
the infection is basically an island of content it doesnt interact with anything else and is almost entirely self-contained
this is good tho
but its barely even content and that makes me sad !
honestly. i do kind of want to keep an archive of the current version of astral
astral infection is kind of the same place as the sunken sea
huge nothing burger for the most part
Meteors in terraria now require you to defeat the evil1 bosses first
1 million astral probes
i play journey mode so sometimes i just turn on godmode and hang out 😭✌️
just replace astral infection with astral blight
you love your personal space !
so you could probably make the astral infection timer start once one boss in hardmode is slain
Well maybe not pre-boss but at the very least showing it approaching over time would be good
sightseers also love your personal space
hi there tofu
Miracle blight dimension
Is it possible for me to make my own weapons from scratch? Like code it into the game?
gestures to wotg's rift eclipse
outside of specifically wof causing the meteor to drop i dont actually think anything outside of aureus and deus cause any changes to the astral
thats the big issue
I know there are donor items that behave interestingly but Idk if the donor items are just skins with dev-designed attacks
im like the opposite everytime i explore the biome i feel like the game is trying to choke me to death 😭
the first time i played calamity i accidentally summoned deus like 4 tiers early and straight up didnt even know it existed ✌️ i only remembered aureus from old youtube playthroughs
Astral meteor progression scaling like community (not progression just bosses completed) so if you never kill like 13 bosses it should never spawn clearly
low% players never seeing the astral
hi bro

Make astral spread
Nothing changes for wof less players
i hate this thing
Anyone know
astral infection is a potential biome
you only kinda can because for some reason the fact that you could extractinate astral silt for hardmode ores in pre hardmode got changed
Can you actually idk, I was just thinking about regular wofless but maybe you can now
funnily enough this is not far from what i had in mind
at least in lore anyway, the idea was that the rotting mana would. you know. decay and break down, and so gradually over god knows how long, it would eventually disappear on its own
yeah. by modding.
but in game it would just sit there in stagnation
interesting
it takes too long to break down
1 trillion years later
basically
Whenever an astral enemies die outside of the biome it corrupt the blocks it’s standing on 🙏
Also projectiles too
combine the giant astral shrine thing and the meteor impact site
pest of the cosmos is probably the weakest astral related song but because of that i still really like it
make it a cool crater with the altar thing you use to summon deus at the center
5 million loops of potc
i need to listen to it again
Astrum deus dev I have a question rq
my worm. my worm where is he
the tmodloader github wiki has information on how to get set up to start modding terraria
if you've never programmed in c# before it is recommended you take an online course and practice to get the hang of the language and its syntax first before jumping into modding, otherwise you will have much harder time getting the game to do what you want
wsup
divine swine
divine swine
oh LOL
divine swine
divine swing
that makes sense
divine swine
im gonna kill you
i wouldnt have been able to give an answer anyway i dont code
he is my son i made him in like 3-4 days
can i call it dave or something
the air is getting divine around you
hearing it just makes me think of getting jumped by a boss i didnt know existed and that makes me feel very happy mario loves you because you are wonderful 🥹
THE SWINE IS DIVINING
suree
Is this similar to C or is it another low level language
divine swine is cool but like is there a dev mandated name? steve? dave? piggatron?
NOT MY AMIDIAS EDITS 😭
embeds are dead on discord right now
gorganox
for whatever reason
image perms are around they just dont work on replies
I LIKE POTC A LOT the first time i heard it i had such a bad earworm
my bad guys i eated them all
wait no image perms are just gone
makes sense tbh
@hasty tangle @misty wren BOTH OF YOU ARE WRONG
stuck in my head for WEEKS
no someone got rid of image perms for cut
dawg what the hell is that in pinned messages why is that there
huh, so they are gone
i can post images on lore
image perms? gone??
i like it a lot too ! i just think its the weakest astral song but i have a special experience tied to it
its over 😔
why are image perms gone here
gotta resort to ascii art now
THEY MURDERED THE HOG
thats already been done
its a high level language and they share some syntax like curly braces to define blocks and ending lines with semi colons
YAH FAIR
i also just think its really funny that potc follows a similar name as sotu
pest of the cosmos
scourge of the universe
"why are image perms gone" hm wow i wonder why image perms in #calamity-update-talk were removed right after the divine swine and horrible hog were mentioned truly a great mystery

<--- he wanna be deus so bad
do you know why this is a thing
paradigm wise c# is object oriented tho
ah yes the 2 headed dog
to be fair to dokuro
no. i do know
Oh okay that doesn’t sound too bad. I wish every language was like Swift though. Thank you
both space worms
sleeper agent bot that auto takes away perms when the keywords are mentioned
can never escape from invoked stargod
Deus had NO LORE by the time he got around to doing the song for the space worm
its because in old lore dog got his powers from eating deus
ISG MENTION
GOD OF STARS ATE TOO MANY GARS
interesting
feed them to the star god
are image perms actually gone
Are we forgetting that calamity could just make astral a hallow alternative?
feed him to the star god
yes
wait where was i supposed to see the horrible hog
yeah
that would be lameee
I think that would be the best option
what a fucking fraud
yeah isg was what deus used to be
oh i know
Add soul of blight for this
It still would be the best option
gars
no it wouldnt .
wasnt deus originally just some earthworm that ate an isg corpse chunk
is there a new alcohol called swine wine?
hi azathoth
subjective
no but there is bacon oil
isg was like. THE actual deus but dog ripped it to shreds
was invoked star god canon????
then a worm ate a chunk
deus used to be a lightyear long
old lore is funny like that
bahaha that makes sense, shouldnt it be bacon grease?
i think invoked star god is a fanon name for the light year long deus
and like a mile wide
astronomical unit
A third infection just doesn't work man, something needs to leave
IT WAS OFFICIAL 🔥
So I prefer to just be an alternative
i think invoked stargod and leegrid would be buddies
well it was some bullshit but it was made based off actual lore
and theoretically stargod could be canon by lore
me thinks
i think it could work just by pushing the infection later
but this is going off of all the bullshit i wrote that is not yet canon
fry read my worm threads
(dont actually need to dont feel obligated
dm me the link
oh ok
i want the worm threads....
Astral makes hallow appearing above really hard because the world is not big enough for a third infection
ill do it when i clean it up its messy af rn
hello !
it being some bullshit is noticeable by the fact that both fuuuuuuuck what was the mod that added erebus had its worldgen present in the gif and also ancients awakened worldgen
missing info
Deus was a lightyear long, got infected by Noxus, DoG ate him and that was the only god he ever ate lmao
aight

okay no yeah i know this
and even that wasnt the whole thing dog just took some nibbles
so stargod isn't official it was just "what if deus lived" made real by someone else
yeah
feed him to the star god
Old cal having the most absurd numbers was funny
I really do not understand why the users don't like the idea of astral being a hallow alternative but whatever
both ingame and in lore
fraud dog and genuinely intimidating dog r both good
fraud dog and intimidating dog both fit its character is the funniest bit
Still a fraud cause he didn’t eat Provi to become the devourer of universes
I believe that DoG in old lore was terrible because his only interesting trait was making fun of him at the expense of the story around him.
The only reason DoG was ever a "fraud" was because the story had a massive scale that in turn made him and everything around him feel meaningless in comparison.
fraud dog exemplifies dogs absolutely massive ego, it called itself "the Devourer of Gods" because it ate one and made that kinda its whole personality
intimidating dog exemplifies dogs competence, it started off calling itself "the Devourer of Gods" for no particular reason but then made it known why that is an accurate descriptor
You cannot make DoG a "fraud" if he is on the later half of Post ML progression unless you make him so at the expense of the story.
true
Gods in the old lore were funny since they were either the few that were already in game or they were merged with Xeroc or killed by Xeroc before the game started and nothing else
and noxus
the merging of light and dark gods...
which was also a conglomerate of gods just all the grrrrrrrr evil gods
True
hi
i dont think what a light or dark god was ever explained either
hi
Deus getting turned into spaghetti
Deutschland?
@rose laurel is there a cannon name for the divine swine, like dave or piggatron or smth?
horrifying emoji?
woag
dessert 😋
and the only other gods we knew was like. deus. and provi. and there was also demigods so ig there was more or maybe one of the light gods had a child before becoming xeroc
yummers
braelor and statis used to be demigods idk if anyone else remembered that
They were traditional primordial gods with no substance.
Everyone was inexplicably powerful it was funny
they were supposed to be "good guy" gods and "bad guy" gods but none of them were ever particularly characterized and also the little characterization implied that they were at most entirely neutral if not outright malicious regardless of light or dark
xeroc fucking over all of terraria just by looking at it
Xeroc somehow not finding Noxus for who knows how many years
cosmic hide and seek
cosmic hide and seek but one of them is actual capital g god
xeroc is omnipotent omnipresent and omniscient except when it comes to finding and killing noxus ig
permanent easter egg hunt for space spaghetti
why didnt xeroc just drink an omniscience potion? is he stupid?
yea
I recall statements that his powers were galactic in scale.
And then we would’ve supposedly just gone to the astral infection and seen him sitting there, damn xeroc is bad at this
whar 😭
wasnt the battle against noxus planned to be a survival battle at one point
Oops Garion is gone
where you just try to survive until xeroc shows up to kick his ass
it didnt help that light gods fused into xeroc, who was decidedly even more morally grey and by that i mean he sounded like a jerk.
Imma go now bye people
demacia shows up and wins the battle for u

casually drives someone mad and ruins his family's life as a consequence
ok actually im reading the old lore doc and to quote the introduction
"The Light Gods were obsessed with order, hierarchy, creation, and balance. The Dark Gods, on the other hand, were obsessed with chaos, anarchy, destruction, and war."
however in the sentence immediately afterwards:
"Eventually, the Light Gods became tired of the Dark Gods and their corruption of the universe, and made the choice to go to war with them."
Xeroc would’ve came in to kill him so that makes sense
Fire writing
found it
literally exactly 6 years ago
Crazy timing
anyways nnnnnnnnnnnnnope!
providence wasnt exactly a god
providence, the profaned goddess
she was called a god and for all intents and purposes she was
but she was not one of the gods
she wasnt a light god or a dark god she just fucking happened
this dude was legit obsessed with senator armstrong
It was always Armstrong lmao
she was still a god though
dont forget he also said yharim was gonna be like senator armstrong and minos prime 😭
isn't this the plot of splatoon
Wasn’t old Provi formed from some super ancient lore about angels and demons fighting
at least he didnt pick something from exxo avalon
yes
"Born from a colossal impact of dark and light magic, during the ancient conflicts between angels and devils, her creation was of holy and demonic origins, and her presence embodied that concept in its denial of both."
never got elaborated on also
that we knew of
and then decided to use lunatic cultist ai
wtf why can't i post media
his second phase he gets pissed and reveals his true form and his third phase you're just fighting his spirit 🔥
discord
thank you discord
they took our file upload perms because they are evil
its not because of discord
Yharim final phase and it’s just yellow skeletron prime
someone took the perms away
hog has fallen
no the image perms in this channel are specifically gone
Pirate curse ai
truth nuke?
i bet it was ein
cut die
i guess the cut finally bled out
i have my sticker
L
asked modmail, yeah it's discord's fault
imagine not having image perms
I was lawn mowing while eating a buger and accidentally ran over a wire........it probably didn't do anything though
I'm inocent
bug guy
wait i still have gifs
wtf is a chungaloid
you pulled out that gif so fast
foid
is there a spot that gives the updates for calamity entropy?? lol they are pushing stuff out left and right and i wanted to see whats being updated
I don't believe that's the case
what's it to you huh?? you got an issue with me huh?? fuck you, fuck you.
demoted to minus
moderator embed fail 
@kind tangle is this true
oh ur matching
infest
I forgive you for being an moid

WHAT
ok, then calculate the CENTROID of the area bounded by y=sqrt(1-x^2), the x axis, and the y axis
🩷
whatever
shork
buggy is here
IM NO BUGGY!!!!!
8 + 3
YEAH
this was kinda fire tho
i KILLED it PERSONALLY
I FORGOT TO GO AND SAY YES TO IT. NNNOOOOOO
skill issue
although it wouldve been outweighed anyway itdve been 3 > 1
coulda sicced deus on em
You should just do it anyways
Tofu I can tell you exactly how to do it
And you can just push the code
I’ll be whispering in your ear like a scheming advisor
I had a funny image for it but no image perms fsr
For why
Was I warned or are we on lockdown rn
ever since the incident
does GP stand for Greasy Pete
image perms in this channel are disabled specifically
it stands for Gopher Particulates
mod spreading misinfo wow
u are forever warned Crispy u too dangerous
What on earth happened
the incident
gotta put the Crispy down
ah yes, make tofu commit directly to 1.4.4
foolproof plan for getting your friend killed by ozzatron calamity mod
wait, no
shackled
You can’t contain me forever
(everything has to be PR)
Lmao I know
me sorry
death penalty
We'll eat ya
might've been accidentally killed for everyone while trying to fix the embed thing
iunno
I’ve been slowly embedding myself into the minds of every caldev I interact with
Like I’m like a psychic symbiote
embed fail
im not having any issues with embeds anywhere else,,,
skill issue
that's more of a skill solution
i am seeing people struggling with embeds elsewhere
my guess is this
too late, they're already here
😨
gulp
AI ban we're so winning
miaw
Wait if draedon is a robot then who built draedon?
A dead guy.
That's the sum total of what we know about them.
Does the dead guy happen to be an important figure in the cal lore?
No, he's dead.
Has been dead 660 years.
Literally only made Draedon.
We know LITERALLY nothing else.
Ah
maybe his consciousness has been planted into draedon to defy mortality
just my 2 cents
just maybe

Yeah that would seem cool but also maybe cliche?
Draedon goes back in time to build himself
i hate this explanation beyond words and as long as i have a say about it it will never be canon
whatever it is it doesnt matter
not that draedon's creator will ever be explained
good
but i particularly detest the "hes a botched consciousness transfer" thing
it's not canon, therefore it's not asinine
Wait time travel exists in calamity?
No
no
No.
why
Ah
there wont be an explanation for who the guy was and it doesnt matter
thats mostly a perceptional thing
However that one thing works.
or else someone'd have travelled back in time to stop yharim's crusade before it even happened
incredibly generic and lame explanation for draedon's sapience
draedon was actually just a big magnet that attracted a bunch of parts that conveniently were placed in such an order that it created a mechanical being
The REAL answer is that Draedon was made to be a fridge but got struck by lighting, killing his creator and making him self aware.
like give him a proper burial or just let his corpse wither away?
We don't know, but probably not.
why would draedon give them a proper burial
why not
This sounds kinda like a Boltzmann brain
Draedon probably used his body to examine decomposition.
draedon is a robot
the concept of a "proper burial" means nothing to him
especially not when he was first born
and proper burial feels more like toss him in a hole
idk what my train of thoughts is leading me
Why pass up an amazing chance to see what the effects of decomposition looks like?
i'm feeling more stupid the more i follow my thoughts
he also appears to have very little interest in the person who created him i really cannot see him having so much respect for his creator that he'd spontaneously adhere to human death customs
/j
then again he could just throw him elsewhere
I see now
anyways i should just shut up
Are you the same wires person from makibacord there's like so many people named wires
yes
Oh hey
i'm the only one who fits the description
Shame the playthrough ended but oh well
harrowing
Anyways
Draedon is the enemy of whimsy. He cares only about cold, hard facts.
I wanted to say something for a while but never given the free space to do it but do you think that (as a response to) people who say calamity should be its own game that calamity can't really be its own game because it (as of this state) still primarily functions on the systems Terraria has built
Also brb getting coffee
yeah i know
but that's just my imagination heeding to nonsensical whims
thats not really why calamity being standalone wouldnt work
definitely feel like that sentiment is more of an exaggeration, because i've never seen calamity as being worthy of becoming a game of its own
you absolutely can rebuild the systems terraria has but better
the issue comes more from the game design and lore aspect
We're going to have a game tho
a game about hogs?
which is why the calamity mod fangame Reign of Yharim is a completely different genre
A fan game, but still a game
ah right reign of yharim
also. we like terraria. we wanna build off of terraria (even if vanilla makes us want to pull our hair out sometimes)
yeah that too
Lack of infinite worlds be like 😭
and also completely goes past any vanilla stuff
Oh wow
So like all the Terraria lore characters are written out?
vanilla content cant be acknowledged in roy because of copyright law meaning there has to be changes to deal with that
Wind Waker inspired Calamity game... why must my dreams torment me?
what does this have to do with anything 😭
World too small.
expands your world
A limitation brought on by vanilla Terraria that makes people for example "pull their hair out"
calamity pirate update when
hey guys heres a new pre boss mount that
has acceleration comparable to magi
higher top speed than lightning boots
jump boost equal to frog leg
works with wings!!!!
you make a ship and go to other continents
the only one that might not be is moon lord but thats because of how foundational moon lord is to calamity lore but even if it doesnt get written out i dont think it can be referred to as moon lord nor can it use the same design as moon lord so it has to be redesigned anyways
What did they do?
roller skates
sounds balanced
Moon Lord will clearly be redesigned to wear a fake mustache, nose and glasses.
Fun fact:
In drunk and Get fixed boi worlds, in which both Silver and Tungsten are present, the Arms Dealer will sell the bullet corresponding to whichever ore is most prevalent in the world upon joining. This is reset every time the world is re-opened.
oh and also it only costs 15 gold
why
Idk if this is considered false now with the bestiary but is it still canon to vanilla Terraria that the moon lord is Cthulhu's brother?
yknow just cheaper than a minishark
It IS Cthulhu.
I mean they can just use fovos as a name
moon lord is cthulhu in vanilla
Brother😭???
and moonlord is just. cthulhu, so I don't think it's too hard to redesign going with that base
idk tho
Steve
The brother bullshit is from Calamity actually lmao
Yeah I saw a yt short where it said that moon lord was Cthulhu's brother but the short was from a long time ago
supply and demand he's gotta sell whichever has more resources available
no its from vanilla
moon lord legs
Moon lord is terraria Herobrine trust
what happens if u have neither ore
"this must be from moon lord's brother, Steve"
No, Moon Lord being Cthulhu's brother was from pre-release jokes for 1.3.
my apologies i didn't respect his game
Isn't Vanilla that the Guide is his brother?
no
Son.
Maybe I'm tweaking
he's quite the businessman
Isn't the guide the wall of flesh?
no they say "this might be steve's" iirc
Vanilla 'lore' has some decisions.
vanilla lore doesnt matter anyways its redigit farting and making jokes
Nymph is his mother.
i forgot exactly what but yeah
Doesn’t 1.4.5 have an ocean biome background with Cthulhu
😬
vanilla lore...
Is Tim his uncle or sum shit 😭
the 8 pages of fairness......
Ask Red, he might be!
vanilla terraria is so lawful and so fair
Oh, also the actual lore was like, a cult initiation thing.
...i have to explain
Is that also where it stems from where the player is the villain lore?
No, haven't heard about that, you're the one slaying Cthulhu and saving the world.
The cult thing is real.
That actually happened.
Not long ago.
😭
that was so fucking funny omg
1.4.5 is out! yay!!! come join our cult!!!
RIGHT THAT GUY CONTRIBUTED TO THE LORE
😭
It's the one where like the player kills the cultists who were trying to stop the moon lord and also the player kills the wall of flesh who was like harnessing evil things
the sacred terraria lore
That's Calamity.
I'm not too sure but I think that was back when there was a "terraria-lore" channel in the Terraria Discord
In Terraria they're just Cthulhu cultists trying to revive him.
It's Calamity that has them trying to keep him sealed.
And the Wall of Flesh is like, a guardian of balance of some kind in Vanilla.
infact they forced the mechanic to make a mecha cthulhu
Oh man I should probably look at the lore doc again and get a full grip of things because I feel like the things I know about vanilla and calamity lore have been learned really weirdly
They should have kept that in Calamity it was sick as hell.
Yes, YES!
Jojo reference?
mecha moonlord in calamity...
I meant to take a bigger peak at the lore file when Tyrant sent me it but man it seems like a big thing
Draedon done messed around with moonlord skeleton
so uh, on terraria cord there was this guy who used to be the community manager of that discord server
he decided to retire earlier this year around 1.4.5's release, but then for some reason during his farewell ping, he then started to spout something about what was called the law of fairness, something he had been supposedly working on for years. i think this is in fact true because there are messages in terrariacord about law of fairness a few years back
I cant believe they took our image perms
Only 90 pages or so.
i would forward the images but alas image perms are gone
calamity update talk has fallen
The fucking Terraria lore had something about it
@ everyone join my cult.
so yeah he had a few images that seemed AI-generated, and had some VERY SUS statements such as this:
The materials are available in over 30 languages, and if you know of friends, teachers, field experts, or curious minds who enjoy mind-bending challenges, you are welcome to invite them to take part.
and yea he said that it influenced his writing on the terraria lore
Wait you guys don't know MrGameTheory?
i dont frequent terraria cord at all
literally only checked it earlier this year PURELY because of this incident
I have his signature on my wall 😭
too long of a name I just call him the fairness guy
Is that like, Evil MatPat?
... Yes
I blame this on amidias
It just means I get to make up more creatures to expand the worlds ecology
it also linked to a discord server, which very quickly nosedived into lockdown mode
#iloveecologyfuckyesdude
🔥
crispy can you put a bunny in roy
Make Louie's Notes for everything.
put a bunny and name it maxie
MGT's discord profile also still links to it
said server was also like
EVERYTHING ai
Dude I've been trying to
yea he used so much ai it was absurd
Maybe we put it in the ice area which I wont mention by name so that if we change the name nobody is confused
IM TRYING
DUDE
THE FEASTIARY
IS MY MAGNUM OPUS
Bro I just remembered I'm still in that server
bro could not even get an image of that one balance thingy
Keep pushing.
in about a day the terrariacord staff put out an announcement decrying this bizarre situation
it HAD to be AI
You shall prevail eventually.
I get the feeling that you spent about a minute looking up what 'Louie's Notes' were.
I've written very intensive notes on how every enemy would taste
No I was shitting
And you got it right.
Wait, are you saying you are learned and knew about Louie's Notes!?
i have the image from WOTGcord when this situation was still developing btw
i'll post it in #general-media
Real.
crispy you should nuke chee
@blazing field the people want the feastiary
(we're still workshopping how we want to do our normal bestiary)
how can cheese of all people say no to bunny??
I remember ages ago I tried making a Pikmin style bestiary for Calamity.
Cheese hasn't said no to bunny
hi there car
who tagged me
But I can't ideas guy or cheese will beat me to death
It was me cheese
The people
They want the Feastiary
hi there cheese
so here's how it works.
Don't hurt me
ah
hi there lawlsi
Yeah...
"Here's a paragraph on lore about designer glutton bugs"
"This is too long. Death."
People breed those things?
lmao
Down with the regime! Long live the Feastiary!
listen to your developers ❌
kill your developers ✅
what is the feastiary?
hi there er... luigi?
I presume it's like Louie's Notes.
the festiary is some bullshit we came up in a roydev meeting vc in the middle of the nightwhere its like the bestiary but it describes how to COOK every ennemy instead
FUCK YEAH
how does one even cook heaps of scraps?
Bestiary but instead of detailing enemys' behavior it details how theyre cooked and eaten and how they taste
I think the one I wrote for wulfrum enemies was:
"Metal."
pot
'Although the meat is a bit on the metallic side, the oil makes a mouthwatering gravy or lubricative vinaigrette.'
I think I mentioned turning one into a frying pan
dungeon meshi?
you put it in a big pot full of water and boil it and you get iron supplements
w
yes
mhm minerals
writing the roy bestiary has been hell torture im ngl
its like louie from pikmin 2
not becasue the entries themselves are hard to write but more because of trying to figure out exactly what direction we wanna take with it lol
Yes, you have passed the test.
i think we got a good idea now though
I agree
now then, how does one turn miracle matter into an exquisite meal?
i cant believe crispy is the average cmtian asking how a boss tastes
hey miracle matter isnt a enemy
:/
i mean the exo mechs

the melon virus
fire???
Calamitas' entry;
"Poisonous, do not eat. Side effects include spontaneous combustion and a homicide charge."
we're resorting to cannibalism now?
"Have you ever licked a wulfrum battery? Imagine a 9-volt, and that really unpleasant zap they bring that'll never really hurt you but'll be sure to leave the tip of your tongue tingling. Now imagine if it could hurt you. Bad. On a related note if anyone has any idea how to deal with a good deal of canker sores I will be home for the next week or so."
sign me in
I don't ask I tell.
We went through like, generic bestiary entry thats just a bit of info on tthe enemy, bestiary thats just the protagonist wrtiing down stuff about them as a way to characterize them more, a mix of two with unlockable upgrades, silksong bestiary... and the newest direction we ended at now
which idk if i should tlak about given its the one we're currently doing
feastiary
by the way, can you even eat jellyfishes?
Olimar's Notes bestiary.
Cannonball Jellyfish are actually eaten irl
intriguing
yeah irl you can
typically they'll be shredded or cut into strips the long way
yes seriously
from what ive heard theyre not particularly tasty though
which is why despite there being so many fucking jellyfish theyre not actually eaten often
Then they're stir fried, served in salads, or served as/with noodles
You eat them for texture (looked up how to eat them for bestiary).
where else would they get the jelly for grape jelly?
From milking the grapes?
They have a generally saline and bland taste. Think like. Cucumber.
True
hi there spec
Heyo
When cooked they turn really rubbery. They have a crunch akin to the texture of like, a bouncy ball, where it's less crunchy and more... creaky?
mrrp
It's very much something you have to try with an open mind.
I remember that I planned on making the Olimar stand in begin talking about his family on Calamitas and the brothers' entries.
how do you know the texture of eating a bouncy ball
It's called 'being bad at dodgeball'.
I used to chew them as a kid cuz I had weird teeth
Like they came in weird so I found myself teething until I was a teen
Got shark teeth real bad and all that
I've always really liked food
Gourmand levels
And cuz I have like an agressive metabolism I can kinda get away with it
I like to cook a lot
how do you not know the texture of eating a bouncy ball
^
What if auric bouncy ball
auric golf ball
first, melt 4tbsp of butter in a pan and cook it until it's slightly browned
next, add a 2 inch slab of miracle matter to the pan. You may marinate the miracle matter with your choice of seasoning prior, though I prefer a somewhat heavy dry rub layer of ashes of annihilation.
Sear, flipping every 30 seconds, until all sides are a perfect brown.
Transfer to a baking sheet. You may add some of the leftover butter and rendered out liquids from the miracle matter slab.
Cook at 400F for 12 minutes or until the inside is a warm 1000000000f, to ensure a proper medium rare cook on the inside.
i burnt it
cooked it for 13 minutes probably
I cooked
is this the recipe for miracle butter?
this is the recipe for cooking a 2 inch thick slab of miracle matter
hmm. mine turned into juice
What if I only have a 1 inch slab?
Do I just gotta like fold it and cook it sandwich style or smth?
is it supposed to look like this
uhhh what did you marinate it with
