that first one is fucking terrifying

tornado wouldn't dare approach

turns right around nope

rainstorm and thunder I can get behind

[wind bloom]

chapter 18&19 theme right there

:)

[spiral matrix]

I can get behind crackling thunderstorms

(Im actually scared of lightning tho)

[austere hawk]

this is like the opposite of the usual

but i know why so

[austere hawk]

I literally can't get over how freaky that sound is

it sounds like an apocalypse

[wind bloom]

good

[austere hawk]

anxiety activated

[iron totem]

I've started writing fanfic about my own minecraft world

1.21 is a really cool update by the way, best update in years

[spiral matrix]

I do not keep up with updates anymore

what did 1.21 change?

I just play modded nowadays

[iron totem]

It added trial chambers mainly

Best structure they've added ever not gonna lie
Added some good new music, the crafter that let's you auto craft stuff, new potions, changes to bad omen, quality of life features like being able to throw enderpearls through nether portals and end up in the nether or being able to ride through them

Two new enemies, the breeze and the bogged. Wolf armour, the armadillo, new wolf types

[spiral matrix]

THEY FINALLY ADDED WOLF ARMOR?

my god took them long enough!

[iron totem]

This new music disc is so good

Pigstep level

The creator music disc is also really good, composed by Lena Raine

[spiral matrix]

I always play with music off

but that's actually really nice sounding

[iron totem]

I see, I always play with music on

I like to roleplay in my worlds and add lore and stuff
Very fun

[spiral matrix]

Ah man if I was a better builder, I'd probably love to do that sort of stuff xD

[iron totem]

I also take it super slow, taking months to get endgame loot

[spiral matrix]

I play heavily tech modded packs in particular.....so my bases are literally flat platforms with gigantic sphagetti of pipes and machines on them

[iron totem]

I suck at building, but I have fun nonetheless. I don't really care if my build looks aesthetically pleasing or my farms are inefficient, it's the joy of the process, knowing I created it from the ground up in survival

[iron totem]

Oh, that sounds fun!

I love making silly redstone contraptions

[spiral matrix]

Depends on the pack lol

some packs are nice and just let you pick and choose

and then there's others where they go "damn you want to require trillions of resources for a worthless item?"

"well I did that"

"and its required to progress, enjoy"

[iron totem]

I prefer things simple, so I play vanilla + sodium and some minor vanilla tweaks

[iron totem]

Factorio in minecraft

[spiral matrix]

hilariously, the dev of factorio cited MC modpacks as their main inspiration

[night lily]

Oh, that's quite a lot of additions...

Crafter definitely is interesting in that the devs finally accept it's a feature people want

[iron totem]

Yeah. Though I do wish they changed the copper bulb back and made it 1 tick again instead of 0 tick

At least it is a 1 block t-flip-flop

[night lily]

That sounds familiar... I think I once saw people being excited about that enabling faster circuits or something but I didn't pay that much attention at the time

(mainly because I don't want to get excited by snapshots then become disappointed when they scrap the feature(s))

[iron totem]

Most redstone components are either 0 tick or even tick. If you want odd tick you need to use scaffolding or leaves. You can't use pistons on these however and it's more clunky than using a 1 tick copper bulb

It allowed some really smooth piston sequences for example and a lot of other uses. I am no expert on redstone so I can't tell you much, but it was cool!

[night lily]

The most advanced thing I did with base game redstone was like, 2x2 piston door

[edgy scroll]

@spiral matrix what kind of mod packs do you use on MC?

[spiral matrix]

I'm very very biased in heavy tech modpacks, particurly long and grindy ones.

[edgy scroll]

oh?

[spiral matrix]

they are usually called "expert" packs, there's lots of good ones.....but there's a lot of garbage to that just make the grind stupidly long

[iron totem]

@sudden jackal Cool saint run!

Very long

[edgy scroll]

the last one I really got my teeth into was MC eternal

[sudden jackal]

Oh uh thanks. Why here?

[spiral matrix]

"good" ones....

Divine Journey 2, Compact Claustrophobia, Engimatica 2 Expert (one of the best), Gregtech New Horizons if you have no life at all, Nomifactory CeU

[iron totem]

I don't wanna clutter the main channel with off-topic gameplay talk even though I've already done that

[spiral matrix]

Gregtech is awesome, but its in its own class of tech mods....so much so usually you'll probably ruin every other tech mod by learning it

[edgy scroll]

gregtech makes me feel like I just bit into a lemon, honestly

it's just too much grind

[spiral matrix]

Don't feel to bad I dont exactly enjoy it as much sometimes xD

OH, and I like Vault Hunters

thats not even a tech modpack by itself

but I really enjoy running the vaults, closest to a roguelike pack probably ever. It is still grindy...but you grind by running vaults.

a really really old pack I like that has a special place for me

is Blightfall

Its basically a modpack where you are on an alien planet covered by Thaumcraft's Taint

and you have to purify the entire map

[edgy scroll]

I haven't even though about blightfall in years

that's a blast from the past

technic had some banger modpacks

[spiral matrix]

and wait just thought of another one....

Rebirth of the Night

probably my favorite more adventure style modpack

my favorite feature of it is that you get invaded every....I think 5 nights?

and the mobs actually pose a challenge

they will blow up your base

pillar up to your skybase

dig for you

[edgy scroll]

you ever touched RLcraft?

[spiral matrix]

I have! I quite enjoy it, just....not a fan of some of the BS things it has happen

and im not a fan of Lycanite's mobs

[edgy scroll]

lycanite's is super hit or miss, yeah

[spiral matrix]

i do have a solid memory when i first played it tho

[edgy scroll]

sometimes it's cool, sometimes it's utter bs, and not even in like a fun way

[spiral matrix]

went into a mineshaft not knowing that lycanite's was installed

so i turn around and theres a banshee taking up my whole screen

and I actually quit for the rest of that night lmao

[edgy scroll]

lol

yeah, RLcraft was one I really liked... that and MC eternal are the only two packs I've played in the last couple years

[spiral matrix]

my playtimes are shorter and shorter

mostly because honestly its a lot more lonely without friends lol

and sometimes there's just some stuff I dont like

Ex Nilho in every skyblock pack

[edgy scroll]

[spiral matrix]

my beloved "right click gravel for 3 hours to get one ore"

[edgy scroll]

yes, absolutely

[spiral matrix]

Cuboid Outpost did it ok tho....it was still there tho :/

[edgy scroll]

made me stop playing modded skyblock tbh

[spiral matrix]

Create is cool to, I like it

it's just in every modern pack now

so sometimes I don't even do anything with it

[sudden jackal]

What'd the difference between this place and discussion

[spiral matrix]

but I like trains still

[edgy scroll]

I got a buddy who likes create. I've never touched it myself.

[spiral matrix]

the nice thing about create is that its very cheap to get started

you only need iron and andesite

[edgy scroll]

I like mekanism

[spiral matrix]

and its cool how like all the cogs, gears, and shafts turn

[edgy scroll]

and thermal engineering

[spiral matrix]

you can make fully functional trains with it

ahhh mekanism

spamming wind power

[edgy scroll]

nah, mekanism but you get the power from something fun

[spiral matrix]

basically any off-topic from stories goes here :P

[edgy scroll]

like nuclearcraft

[spiral matrix]

ill be honest ive never built a nuclearcraft reactor

unless im thinking of a different mod?

[edgy scroll]

they're so fun

[spiral matrix]

it's not a magic box mod right?

[edgy scroll]

I don't think so

nuclear craft is the one where you assemble big reactors, yeah

[spiral matrix]

i love how you need to actually consult a reference on building one

to actually build a reactor without it going boom on you lol

[edgy scroll]

and then you make it and you have to process the radioactive ores and wherever you do that becomes a 'hot zone'

and you can play hot potato with your friends with plutonium

lots of fun

[spiral matrix]

I haven't been able to do that sadly :')

I've been playing a lot more since league is off my PC tho

lot of it is relearning stuff for me

[edgy scroll]

hey man, if I ever set up a modded minecraft sever I'll send you an invite

don't hold your breath on it, though, might be a while

[spiral matrix]

nahhh nw! I'd love to tho if you ever do

[edgy scroll]

I wonder if we could get anyone else in stories in on it... make a RW fanfic writer minecraft server

funny thought

[spiral matrix]

that would be cool! I do not know if enough people play modded MC here for it though

im totally down tho for it

[edgy scroll]

I feel like more people here have played modded MC than not... but maybe I'm coming from a biased perspective

[spiral matrix]

we can all do a gregtech new horizons serever

nah

wouldn't wish that upon anyone

[edgy scroll]

more people = more casual pack

something everyone can have fun with

[spiral matrix]

Well keep the idea on the backburner c:

It would be nice to have people to play with instead of it always being single player for me lol

[edgy scroll]

I will, but my backburner's getting pretty crowded these days...

[spiral matrix]

ahaha, you'll get to it eventually im sure!

I shall take a shower and sleep tho

hold on though, do wanna DM you rq

[edgy scroll]

alright, gn

[edgy scroll]

[night lily]

Oh, if you don't mind, I'm interested in that as well!

I also had some experience of hosting a vanilla server on Oracle computing cloud( using the free tier) but not sure if that could handle modded

[edgy scroll]

you are invited, of course!
and yes, if this was a thing that was going to be, you know, open to, I dunno, a dozen people with mods, I would fork over some cash for a proper server that could run it.

[night lily]

Hmm, need to see how many people are interested to join I guess

[edgy scroll]

true...

[trim tartan]

I’m interested, but can’t be in much.

[fringe peak]

same(depends if I can log into server easily or not, my wifi isn't that good)

[night lily]

@fringe anchor @iron totem yooo have you two seen this yet?( And if I remember correctly, I should ping @open matrix too)

https://futurecatgames.itch.io/oneshot-pancake-episode

Something special for Oneshot 10th anniversary official event

[open matrix]

recipe reveal???

fix it fic for real

[night lily]

||Is it spoiler, or is it not ||

[open matrix]

wait how do i sensor pictures after sendign them

[night lily]

Can you edit message > edit image> mark spoiler?

[open matrix]

no option to edit the image

guess i have to delet

begone spoilers

[open matrix]

this time with spoiler tag

[night lily]

I think (on mobile at least) you can only tag spoiler before sending?

[open matrix]

im on pc

but i cant even send embeded thread links so im not surprised

also i have a feeling that a certain someone here that has yet to appear migh like that picture

[night lily]

That kinda requires faith, you just copy message link then paste and hope discord auto-change that into an embedded link

[open matrix]

faith despises me in that case

[night lily]

Nightmargin's sense of humor is really silly in a good way

[open matrix]

lmao thx for pinging, i migh have missed that otherwise

the difrence in tone is also really funny to me for some reason

[night lily]

||My Burden is Light finishing all these pancakes||

[fringe anchor]

yeah i know i am awa- wait this isn't margin of the strange

hm i'm gonna send it to my friend as well, this is funny :)

[iron totem]

||My burden is now dead ||

[night lily]

NOOOO
||extra cURSED too because of Niko PFP||

[iron totem]

Nightmargin makes good content, have you seen her Outer Wilds video?

[night lily]

She made one?? I haven't heard of this

[iron totem]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4178dNm-3K4

Aaron Cherof is working on Margin of the Strange by the way

Love the music he made for minecraft, especially this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEgjOyBwIaE

[night lily]

The spoilerssss but very silly ( again, in a good way)

[trim tartan]

I am pained.

I am so pained.

I think this is more than I asked for when doing spoilers in front of Banan.

[night lily]

You meant the above wall of spoilered greyness?

[trim tartan]

Yes, Epochs.

[night lily]

Suffer as banan has!

[fringe anchor]

there is an easy solution, it's called playing the game /j

[trim tartan]

I have no money.

If I had any, that would go into FL.

[fringe anchor]

into what?

[iron totem]

FL studio, the daw that's incredibly expensive, I suppose

[fringe anchor]

ah

[trim tartan]

Maybe.

I’m not sure.

World Machine is also expensive.

[austere hawk]

Which manner of suffering are we wishing upon celest?

Oh, spoiler walls.

Yes, yes, indeed

[night lily]

Deprivation of knowledge

[trim tartan]

I can click.

It’s so tempting.

[austere hawk]

||click them|| (outer wilds spoiler)

[fringe anchor]

||that's not nice of you||

[austere hawk]

I’m a bad banan

[austere hawk]

I beat PV asfagsga

Now I just gotta… do it consistently…

[wind bloom]

It's not that hard

i bet I could do it right now

[austere hawk]

I’m bad at video games cry

But I beat them again next try so…

[austere hawk]

I got radiant PV!!

Maybe I’m brave enough to try p4 again now…

[peak ledge]

Excellent

I’m going to assume I know what you are talking about

[trim tartan]

If it's HK-adjacent, you do.

[austere hawk]

Hard boss :3

[velvet seal]

Music I'm listening to while writing update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhzLMZHlKSI
please listen to the entire Last Bible 3 soundtrack it's better than sex

[trim tartan]

As an Ace, I can tell you a lot of things better than the latter.

[velvet seal]

listen to it

[trim tartan]

I mean, that soundtrack isn’t unique in being better than… Ahem.

But I’ve gone and listened, I do like it.

I do prefer more intense drumming, though.

[velvet seal]

ha I've weaponized your need to state that you're asexual into getting you to listen to the Last Bible 3 soundtrack

really though listen to Underworld Forest, Sodom, and Battle 4 too those are my favorites

[austere hawk]

Pfff

[night lily]

instead of writing, my lazy brain decided to play modded RW instead

trying to get Arti to ||Chasing Wind||
Now in ||Far Shore||, found a gate with karma 3... hmm

I dont have that yet so decided to mess around then found ||Caldera||and this way way down under....

[iron totem]

Cool! Fun fact, ||you can consistently skip guardians with 2 rocks and an explosive jump as arti||

[night lily]

Really? How? ||Rock can hit the guardian?||
Also a little too late

[iron totem]

#speed-score-runs message

Example

[night lily]

||and, probably nothing will happen, but since some custom regions have echo(es), I do wonder if i could just get karma 10 and try this legit. ||

[iron totem]

||You can get 10 karma with modded regions||

[night lily]

||oh, I haven't used fast roll mod yet(or learn much of it)||

[iron totem]

You can do an extended slide

Works just as well

[iron totem]

I recommend downloading it. Just bind it to a button and press it when you want to fast roll. Allowed for speedruns and challenges alike

[fringe anchor]

How the hell-

[night lily]

||I guess even with that, going through the Depths would still result in the same ending anyway, but I do wonder if the mod's devs do add special something if you go down via Caldera instead (since Far Shore does have an echo too)||

Probably not...

[iron totem]

Arti any% is really cool, here is current WR: #speed-score-runs message

I accidentally got WR in it for a few days when I posted my first successful try crappy attempt

[iron totem]

||Same ending ||

I've wanted a good arti ending mod for months now
Maybe I should learn modding and make it myself

[night lily]

I wish for that as well
its 80% of the reason why I started writing fanfiction in the first place

[peak ledge]

Alright cool, it is absolute radiance

[austere hawk]

||pure vessel||

[peak ledge]

Ah, that one

I thought you meant Pantheon five lmao

[austere hawk]

Pfff fair

[iron totem]

Bad at video games
Radiants PV

[austere hawk]

I am extremely stubborn

Still trying for radiant markoth

[iron totem]

Oh, good luck!

I gave up on him

[austere hawk]

I got extremely close one try

like one shade soul from defeat

that was a rage quit

[iron totem]

Wow, you're good

[austere hawk]

I found a video with a really good strat!!

went from "this is impossible" to... oh, maybe I can do this

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/e8kynw/tutorial_radiant_markoth_is_not_as_hard_as_you/ <-- this one

[iron totem]

Oh neat! I probably won't touch hollow knight in a few years, though
Useful nonetheless

[austere hawk]

this guy makes it look so easy... it's not this easy, but this is doable

[iron totem]

P5 left a sour taste in my mouth unfortunately

[austere hawk]

I'm gonna try p5 but I just want p4

[iron totem]

Good luck! If you can radiant PV, you can probably beat p4 with enough practice

[austere hawk]

Almost did last night.... lost too much health on watcher knights and didn't get it back on soul tyrant though I'm so bad at watcher kights...

[iron totem]

I found spell spam to be very effective

Ran a spell build

[austere hawk]

I do have a spell build but mark of pride is taking up slots... I pogo a lot on PV so I need it

I just realized I should have been overcharming on radiant fights jfc

I'm actually stupid

[iron totem]

Nono, you did it intentionally to challenge yourself

[austere hawk]

I never touch my charms because I'm so used to my set

[austere hawk]

UHHH.. YEAH

[spiral matrix]

when I played I always played with the two charms that increased nail range

i played with them so much to the point that I got to used to the max range

and I was dying to much if I had one of them out lmao

[austere hawk]

Yeah that’s me

Mark of pride is the long range nail charm

My PV strat involves a lot of pogoing and not having it is awful

[night lily]

Quick Slash+Long Nail+Mark of Pride my beloved

[wind bloom]

strength+long+pride+qs is my permanent build

who needs spells

parry this you filthy casual

[night lily]

Wish I knew about the parry mechanic when I was still playing, only learned about it way later and I haven't touched HK for a while now

Maybe I should try that out on a warm-up run (preparing for Silksong...)

[wind bloom]

parrying is a lot less useful as like, actively trying to avoid damage by using it

it's good for clearing large attacks though

I'd parry-pogo off of PV's slashes

[night lily]

Pulling it off looks cool as heck tho

[austere hawk]

I parry all the time! (I never mean to, thanks mark of pride)

I’m a pogo fiend

[wind bloom]

that time I bugged the game and could attack as fast as I could mash the button

run straight at them, mash like mad

[night lily]

The Knight had enough

[wind bloom]

blowing up sheo in like 7 seconds felt good

[iron totem]

Spell caster, quick slash, dream nail, and strength were must-haves for me

I didn't like long nail 😆

Reclaiming Entropy update! #mod-releases message

Future LF is now in game

[trim tartan]

I like your funny words, magic man.

[edgy scroll]

future long farm, no less

[iron totem]

You really should try reclaiming entropy if you haven't already

So much to explore

[edgy scroll]

I'm already trying to explore a whole bunch modded regions

when I even have the energy to play RW

[night lily]

maybe after I finish Sunlit trail

[edgy scroll]

I love the game but it requires more focus than I can spare sometimes

[iron totem]

Sunlit trail is so good

You should try out the grinder too, most unique region I've played

[edgy scroll]

is it slugpup accessible?

I'm not leaving my boys

[iron totem]

I think so? It's a massive industrial machine region, might be a little dangerous for them

Only monk, survivor, and gourmand can enter as the only entrance is in outer expanse

[night lily]

just got to MF, it's so good. very different feel from the base game, but so very pleasant to explore

[edgy scroll]

which one is MF?

[iron totem]

Moss Fields

[night lily]

Now that I think about it, its in the mod name so I dont really have to spoiler that

[trim tartan]

Angst Machine - like this.

Pebbles is mine and not Casper’s!

[drifting talon]

Hello

[night lily]

Very off topic but just watched Inside Out 2 (at the insistence of a friend that 'it is really good')

To say it's relatable is an understatement

[iron totem]

Oh, cool. I remember watching the original when it released

9 years ago

[night lily]

For some reason this one doesn't feel as impactful as the first tho, maybe it's time, maybe because it doesn't feel 'unique' anymore

Still very evocative and has a certain powerful/accurate scene tho

[austere hawk]

I wanna see it! But I’m not paying to go to a theatre rn

[night lily]

I won't say anything to spoil then!

The theme is kinda heavier than the first one, but still not too much

[fringe anchor]

Ngl it was pretty cool but I watched it in sub-optimal conditions (summer camp, it was played on a projector in a room that was not dark enough, with questionable audio quality, with most of the audience being children)

Still, good movie

(Have not watched the 1st one)

[austere hawk]

Isn’t it only in theaters atm?

[fringe anchor]

Alternate means

[austere hawk]

Gasp

[night lily]

[fringe anchor]

Hey, this wasn't my idea so I am crystal clear

[spiral matrix]

I also watch movies with alternate means

[fringe anchor]

Only in theaters? The law requires that I answer "yes"

[velvet seal]

Did you know that when people say "Frankenstein was the doctor's name, not the monster's" they're wrong?

think about it

What is the doctor's full name?

They're Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Frankenstein is their last name, right?

What did he make? Frankenstein's Monster

Frankenstein's Monster is essentially the son of Frankenstein, which would mean they would have to share a last name, right?

So Frankenstein's Monster IS named Frankenstein.

sorry I've had that on my mind for a couple of days but I've had nobody to randomly bring it up in conversation with

As you can see, red centis are harmless [Quite a lot of centipedes warning ]

the worm pond

[trim tartan]

I like to think he named himself Adam, and Frankenstein followed as his family name.

[velvet seal]

Yeah, Adam Frankenstein

his name is Frankenstein, in the same way that the doctor is named Frankenstein

One of these days Frankenstein (the monster) is going to be brought up and I'll get to say this whole rant at the first person who goes "ERM it was the doctor's name"

[trim tartan]

Good book, I have to give it a reread.

Even if it’s grim.

Zelda 1 update: I just beat levels 7 and 8, I forgot where 6 is but that's the last thing I gotta do before I beat the game

I'm also missing a single heart container somewhere but I'm just kinda gonna have to scour the map for that

can't wait to get the magic wand... it's my favorite item and I think you find it in level 6

it's kind of useless though unfortunately since the game basically never gives you a good reason to use it

There's this complete recreation of Zelda 1 with a full level editor called Zelda Classic though so I can live my dreams of the wand actually having a use in that at-least LOL

Genuinely slightly surprised I could 100% this game without a walkthrough (except for Level 3 but that didn't count I was just REALLY stupid it was one screen to the right of a place I never visited before for some reason)

nvm found the last heart container while looking for dungeon 6

[velvet seal]

update again: beat level 6, I got the wand, I'm beating the game now lol

[night lily]

I just took a 2-hour train (to another province, too) only to receive a call just as I arrived that I don't need to come to work today
Da heck

now it's another 2 hours before the next train back then 2+ hours to go back home

[edgy scroll]

sounds like a good time for 2 hours of freestyle breakdancing at the train station

[scenic escarp]

That sounds ROUGH

[night lily]

I'll take this as a sightseeing train trip then , at least the ticket(s) is so cheap ( equivalent to a third of a decent lunch)

[trim tartan]

Good time to read The Cradle.

[night lily]

Maybe if motion sickness doesn't get to me first!

[night lily]

Trying to look on the bright side of things can only do so much...

It's also starting to rain

[velvet seal]

Update okay I uh 99% completed Zelda 1 NES. I never found the red ring because I'm stupid but like gannon did piss poor damage anyways and I had a potion left over so I stabbed him real quick and then I considered going back for the red ring but gannon's lair is masochistic and the credits were RIGHT THERE so I figured I would rather just take the win and say I 99% completed it LOL

I guess I should do 2nd Quest now too

[austere hawk]

Good job!

It’s a classic

Maybe I’ll play it again someday for the nostalgia…

[velvet seal]

Damn 2nd Quest got hands I didn't expect them to like actually change anything LOL

I always thought it was just that the dungeons were a bit different and all the entrances were shuffled a bit

[austere hawk]

Never played it. Isn’t it a total remix?

[velvet seal]

But the dungeons are totally diferent and way harder, I died to dungeon 1 like 3 times so far

[austere hawk]

Ocarina’s master quest was pretty different

[velvet seal]

they even changed Stalfos to shoot sword beams

I poked my head into Level 2 and they expect you to kill a bunch of darknuts that early

[austere hawk]

Now there’s something I wanna replay… wish it wasn’t in Nintendo jail, I don’t prefer emulators…

[velvet seal]

I actually have a cartridge of Zelda 1 and an NES to play it with too but I don't think the NES is working right now for some reason, I'm playing all of this on the NES Classic

Brebb is gone

[velvet seal]

make spoons then

[iron totem]

Playing celeste again and I love how the game tells you that you don't need to catch all strawberries, if any at all

You don't have to collect all collectibles or do everything, just do what you feel like doing

Still haven't beaten farewell legit, never will

[open matrix]

i got so far in farewell, took like 4 days, but i got so far only for me to be stopped in that stupid room with the puffer fishs and spike jumps right before the fake out heart and cheated through the rest after 3 days of attampts and not gettign that ONE room once. good game, 10/10, i love it so much

[night lily]

just went through Moss Field

east side of MF containing double red lizards in a same room was a shock to be sure... I thought this place is peaceful... and then KVs were there too

||And WHY THERE WERE SCAV SQUADS HERE, HOW COULD THEY KNOW ABOUT ARTI ANYWAY||

Now entering CW...

[fringe peak]

the legend of the red death must have spread far and wide

[night lily]

||aw CW sure is friendly. also has unique dialogues with arti...||

[iron totem]

||Attack them ||

[night lily]

||Im not sure if citizen id drone protection could carryover to a different iterator or not ||

[iron totem]

||Only one way to find out ||

||My first thought when I entered the region was "Can I hurt them?". I was playing arti so I guess it's in character||

[night lily]

||Citizen ID drone doesn't cover different iterator confirmed ||

[austere hawk]

I’ve finally done it… barq’s was bogo

[vital rover]

Haha, finally.

[wind bloom]

Barqs has bite

[austere hawk]

We shall see…

[vital rover]

Mhm! But it has a really good taste to it along with its aftertaste.

Unlike Mug.

[wind bloom]

A&W good

[vital rover]

A&W my beloved, though in most cases I prefer Barq's. A&W is superior when it comes to being a recipe in deserts though, it's got that in the bag.

[austere hawk]

A&W has been my choice for ages but I haven’t given barq’s a chance

A&W is vanilla forward… which I like

[vital rover]

Barq's isn't as vanilla centric, if at all. Which is the appeal for me when I'm not in the mood for a smooth root beer.

[austere hawk]

That’s okay, sometimes I want a spicy root-y beer too :3

[iron totem]

Never heard of root beer

[austere hawk]

It’s very American

And a lot of the time people in other countries think it tastes like medicine and don’t like it

[iron totem]

I see

Is it alcoholic?

[austere hawk]

We don’t really use these flavors in medicine though

Nope it’s a soda

[iron totem]

Oh, that's neat

[austere hawk]

It’ll have spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, licorice, anice, etc in it but the flavor can be really different between brands

[fringe anchor]

So it's like non-alcocholic beer?

[austere hawk]

Nah not at all. It’s a spice/licorice flavored sweet soft drink

Usually the licorice is really mild though

[iron totem]

I love licorice

[austere hawk]

Me toooo

[wind bloom]

Criminals

[iron totem]

Aren't licorice and anice basically the same?

[fringe anchor]

I hate it

[austere hawk]

Nope! Though anise can taste a little like licorice especially in large amounts

Licorice is… funkier than anise

[austere hawk]

Ah, I forgot to say… barq’s is better than A&W. By a smidge

Caffeine is a big bonus

[edgy scroll]

[austere hawk]

You win. Cy was right

[edgy scroll]

So, on the topic of anime: Ghost in the shell is the peak of cyberpunk anime, followed by Akira, followed by Dominion Tank Police

(Trust me on that last one)

[trim tartan]

I wonder. What parts of JoJo were written after ‘95?

I have to disagree, then.

[edgy scroll]

Part 5 started at the end on 95

Which is coincidentally the part that jojo lost me

[trim tartan]

Ouch.

I enjoyed all parts thoroughly, I have to disagree.

But I won’t force it on you.

[edgy scroll]

It wasn’t that it was bad persay, I just didn’t latch onto the characters the way I did in parts 2-4

[trim tartan]

Well, up to Golden Wind.

I know the events of SO, some characters beyond, but nothing else.

[open matrix]

good take

[trim tartan]

Golden Wind is weird, and I think the main antagonist was a bit simpler than previous parts.

I still liked it, though.

[edgy scroll]

But the peak of all anime, of all genres is Nausicaa of the valley of the wind.

[trim tartan]

For no other reason than “funky colour shifts” and “I have no clue”.

I’ve been enjoying Girls’ Last Tour.

Sadly, don’t have the manga.

[edgy scroll]

Another place where part 5 lost me is the powers

[edgy scroll]

Didn’t watch the show, but the manga was pretty good

[trim tartan]

I don’t know why, the show clicked with me.

There were parts where I believe CGI was obvious, but I enjoyed it overall.

[edgy scroll]

It captures a mood that most things don’t

Especially in anime

[trim tartan]

I think it’s the same mood that Rain World captures. I don’t know for sure.

“The old world is dead. And yet you live on.”

||The superstructures|| look really like Iterators.

[edgy scroll]

How much of the plot of girls last tour do you know?

[trim tartan]

Consumed all of the Anime.

That’s about it.

[edgy scroll]

That doesn’t go to the end, I’m guessing?

[trim tartan]

Nope.

I think I know the ending, sadly.

I’ll find a way to enjoy the entire thing somehow.

But really, I loved it.

It felt so solemn. So quiet.

So like Rain World. The base game.

[trim tartan]

Also, mind explaining more on this?

[edgy scroll]

Too complex, too specialized, and often when they found the weaknesses it was purely luck and bs

The episode that lost me was the aging power that was countered by ice

[trim tartan]

JoJo is full of that, I think, especially the further on it went.

[trim tartan]

I see. Prosciutto’s stand, Grateful Death.

[edgy scroll]

Which is why it peaked before 1995

[trim tartan]

I don’t really think it was luck and bullshit, but I agree that the stands do get complex and very specialized.

[edgy scroll]

Not always but the Grateful death episode just completely broke my immersion

[trim tartan]

Interesting.

That one is a lot of dumb luck, I’d say.

Bucciarati did survive out of dumb luck.

I can’t argue with that.

[edgy scroll]

Sadly, it only takes one problematic episode for me to decide that I can spend my time on something better, these days.

Fifteen year old me would’ve stuck the whole thing out to the end no matter how bad it got.

[trim tartan]

Well. I mean, you stayed with Unraveling, so it means I’m going on the right direction.

[edgy scroll]

Because if you fuck something up I can tell you

[trim tartan]

Oh.

Well, there goes my pride. /lh

Did I say something wrong?

[edgy scroll]

You haven’t fucked something up yet.

I don’t intend to put you down!

I like your fic.

[trim tartan]

Thank goodness.

Alright, back to lurking I go.

[edgy scroll]

Hey. Seriously, you’re a good writer. And you seem to be really driven to improve, which I respect immensely. So please do not be discouraged by any crass jokes I may make. I want you to keep writing above all else, okay?

[trim tartan]

I’m fine.

I’ll always keep writing.

It’s for me.

At the end of the day, I may not matter much to the world, but I matter to mine.

Selfish as it is, I am the most important person to me.

[edgy scroll]

It’s important to write for yourself.

It’s also important to write for your audience at the same time, though.

The trick is to find a way to do both at the same time

Repeating myself, sloppy

[trim tartan]

I don’t have much of one.

[edgy scroll]

Pfft. None of us do.

[trim tartan]

I do what I can.

[trim tartan]

Banan and Osmo do have rather large numbers with their fics.

Yes, I am aware that not even theirs is that large.

But envision this.

[edgy scroll]

I care much more about the five to ten people who I talk to in this server liking what I write than any number of nameless faces from tumblr or wherever.

[trim tartan]

If you have 40000 views, that’s enough people to fill one football stadium.

[edgy scroll]

Marvel movies fill stadiums

[trim tartan]

Unless there are repeats, of course.

But one stadium of people enjoy your work. Let that sink in.

[edgy scroll]

I suppose it does sound nice. But I don’t think I’m ever gonna get those numbers with what I want to write.

[trim tartan]

If you only have 200 views, that’s still as much as people as there are who attend the UN General Assembly.

Only 30? A classroom.

That many people cared.

And just one? Well, guess what? That’s still one person who cared enough.

Double the previous amount - which was just you.

Unless you’re a system. In which case, maybe not double.

[edgy scroll]

Like I said, pretty much everyone I’m writing to appeal to is in this server. Anything else is just gravy.

[trim tartan]

I don’t really mind the views.

Because I’m willing to bet half of them are me, anyway.

But that’s still nice to think about.

People cared.

You got people to care.

Also, I do appreciate the comments much more than any Kudos or Hit.

They tell me much more.

[edgy scroll]

Comments are nice, but some fics generate them and some don’t with the same number of people enjoying them.

[trim tartan]

Also, I do want to go.

[edgy scroll]

Alright, I won’t keep you around any longer

Have a good night, or whatever time it is for you

[unkempt yew]

After an hour, I finally get here

[edgy scroll]

Going to the gas station. Sodachat, what kind of delectable soft beverage am I getting today?

[iron totem]

The worst tasting one

[scenic escarp]

Orange

[austere hawk]

Yoohoo

Feed your inner 90’s child

[edgy scroll]

Dude I was literally just thinking about getting a yoohoo

[austere hawk]

We’re so in tune….

I hadn’t thought about yoohoo in like a decade until last week when I saw one in store and had to have it

Tastes like childhood

[edgy scroll]

I love yoohoo

[austere hawk]

It was good

[edgy scroll]

Ah man, I’m sobbing. They don’t have any yoohoo here

[austere hawk]

Nooooo

What’s another 90’s ass drink

Sunny D?

[edgy scroll]

I don’t like sunny D tho

[austere hawk]

Sunny D might actually be the 90’s drink

[edgy scroll]

I am grabbing a mango orange Sunkist at drymms recommendation for something orange

[austere hawk]

Get you a crystal Pepsi

Maybe a sobe

Why are all my childhood drinks dead

[edgy scroll]

This place has none of your nostalgia drinks, banan

[austere hawk]

I don’t think they sell those anymore anywhere

[edgy scroll]

Sobe? I think you can still get ‘em

[austere hawk]

Hmm…. Mello yello?

I haven’t seen sobe in ages…

[edgy scroll]

I feel like you just keep picking more obscure drinks

[austere hawk]

cries in old

Hey Mello yello is still around

It’s a soda

[edgy scroll]

I like mellow yellow

But you’re not finding it at your average gas station

[austere hawk]

Not like I said ‘surge’ (definitely dead, 10000% 90s energy)

[edgy scroll]

I think surge is not only still around but probably more popular than mellow yellow

[austere hawk]

Sigh gas station not catering to banans… know your audience, idiots

[austere hawk]

Surge is not still real

Is it?

[edgy scroll]

It’s not here, in any case

[austere hawk]

My memory of it is that can with the Nickelodeon ass splat logo

[edgy scroll]

Alright I’ve been standing in front of the coolers like a jackass for ten minutes now what am I getting

[austere hawk]

In none of the cases?

UHHH

do they have cream soda

[edgy scroll]

A&W

[austere hawk]

Cream soda goes good with orange flavor stuff

I haven’t tried A&W’s cream soda but I like their root beer :3

[edgy scroll]

Okay, I’ll get a plain orange and an A&W cream and mix some kind of foul concoction

[austere hawk]

Hey it’s an important choice, surely they understand…

[austere hawk]

Mmmm swamp water

[edgy scroll]

Orange Fanta or Crush?

[austere hawk]

Fanta

[edgy scroll]

Drinks retrieved, mix made

[austere hawk]

Results?

[edgy scroll]

Swamp water

[austere hawk]

Mmmm

[edgy scroll]

It’s not terrible, but it’s a poor impression of an actual orange cream soda

[austere hawk]

As expected, mid as hell

Good job banan

[edgy scroll]

It’s a bit too sweet, mostly

[scenic escarp]

Your sacrifice will be remembered

[edgy scroll]

still working on it

two bottles of soda is a lot to drink

[scenic escarp]

You mixed the entire thing?

[edgy scroll]

I'm not just gonna have two half-empty bottles sitting in the fridge

[scenic escarp]

You mixed the entire thing...

Godspeed

[austere hawk]

Dedication

We don’t half ass swamp water round these parts

[trim tartan]

Big bottles?

[edgy scroll]

standard size

12 ounce or whatever

[night lily]

That feeling when the unexpected traffic closure made you arrived at the train station only 5 mins before departure:

[unkempt yew]

I have never been in a train before

[night lily]

The ones I take regularly are all without air-conditioning and opened window. very loud .

for those with motion sickness it's also probably not a very pleasant experience

[unkempt yew]

Wait, not all trains have AC?

damn

[night lily]

Not here

[unkempt yew]

Just like the bus with no AC

And also, where do people buy train tickets?

[night lily]

The train station?

We also can book them online i guess but it's not that convenient, the ticket must be printed out still

[unkempt yew]

must learn more

||It's interesting that Adam was the first man created by Him||
||Despite I'm a christian, its kinda funny that the Garden was ward off by angels and Adam cut the tree down||

||And the creature of steel killed him||

[trim tartan]

||I mean, how else would they know that prime souls exist?||

||My in-lore explanation is that Adam in the UK universe got so fucking pissed, that he literally went prime while still having a husk, and willingly shed his body. He basically went apeshit.||

[unkempt yew]

I see

[trim tartan]

||Also, considering prime souls are such big threats to Heaven, they have to be sealed away, it makes sense.||

[unkempt yew]

||there are still many primes out there besides Minos and Sisyphus||

[trim tartan]

Actually, if I were an Ancient or Benefactor, what’d my name be?

[unkempt yew]

How to make Ancient's name?

[night lily]

[adj/number] + [noun] + [preposition] +[adj/number] + [noun] ?

[trim tartan]

I mean, if I were an Iterator, I’d want to be called either something ridiculously special, or something very generic.

“Endless Epiphanies.”

“General Interest.”

[night lily]

Then we have Droplets upon Five Large Droplets I guess... They probably resented whoever gave them that name

[trim tartan]

If I were an Ancient, I’d want to go by Endless Epiphanies, Nominated Divinity.

If I didn’t have a say, “Biting Maw under Feeding Hands”.

Five Pebbles and the Absurdly Over Indulgent Fangame update:
WTF why do battles softlock immediately when trying to enter them but ONLY if not in test mode??
Like it gets in an infinite recursion loop but ONLY when not in battle test mode for some reason

[fringe anchor]

I think you are getting the programming experience

[velvet seal]

Oh I absolutely am, and I have many times before, this is just the first time it's ever happened to me in RPG Maker

[fringe anchor]

Oh this is RPGmaker?

[velvet seal]

which makes it 10x more annoying because I don't have full control over everything, there are a bunch of dumb 3rd party cough cough yanfly I hate yanfly cough cough scripts messing things up, and I can't even see like half the default code stuffs

[fringe anchor]

Huh, the dialogue boxes do look fammiliar

[velvet seal]

Yeah but I've meddled with it a lot

now that I can actually competently make Ruby scripts in RPG Maker the game is gonna look a lot different than the typical RPG Maker game just in virtue of me having control over UI now lol

This is my ideas list so far the one censored is just a really funny idea that simply cannot be spoiled and must be experienced in-game

wait how tf did I misspell 'described' and miss it for this long

idea 6 sounds bad and unfunny but will actually be funny in-game, trust me

Let's see

There we are

[trim tartan]

I have realized something.

Vultures are basically giant pushovers in closed spaces.

They're punching bags.

You can spear them to death. Most times, they don't even mind.

[unkempt yew]

They sometimes mind by flying away

[trim tartan]

New level of having zero self-preservation.

[unkempt yew]

And I need a mask for it

Holy crap I'm white now

Not a pissboy anymore

[trim tartan]

Also, when they latch onto a lizard or something, they have problems flying away.

In short, vultures are no longer bound by Karma 5.

Dropwigs are relatively easy if you know where they are, and have a good spot to spear them from. Relatively.

[unkempt yew]

I have bad eyesight

[trim tartan]

Lizards are either too good at their job, or pretty bad.

Maybe except the reds, I think those'll always get me.

Centipedes? No idea.

Haven't fought one in forever.

Well, they're fun to fight in Arena. Not so much in campaign.

[unkempt yew]

they'll get you no matter what

If it's a red, I'm writing my will and testament

Don't let them latch onto you.

[wind bloom]

Don't like it? Too many legs? 30,000 volts? Hit da bricks

[trim tartan]

Usual 9V battery with legs in a suit of armour, but it's broken into the local nuclear powerplant, and has obtained the energy to kill god, your will to live, and anything in-between.

You guys got Royal or RC Cola?

[edgy scroll]

We do got RC, yeah

[unkempt yew]

That's the only off brand I could think of

I don't know any sodas

[edgy scroll]

Just pick a flavor, then

[unkempt yew]

What sodas were available anyway?

[edgy scroll]

I had to make a snap decision, wound up taking a root beer in a brand I’ve never had before (Boylan) and a ‘Mexicane cola’

[unkempt yew]

Gonna search it up what are those

Go with Boylan, maybe, Idk what they really taste like

[night lily]

Hmm, for next time then, how about 'cream soda'

[unkempt yew]

I only drank popular sodas

and some occasions, whiskey

[edgy scroll]

my man

[edgy scroll]

Next time. If the boylans root beer is good, they had a cream I’ll try.

And yeah, I did check if there was any yoohoo. There wasn’t

[night lily]

I also would suggest this but I doubt they sell this one over there

Carbonated iced lemon tea

[unkempt yew]

Wait, that's a thing?

[night lily]

I only found it recently, like maybe just a year ago

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

Well, I do like iced tea and lemon… it sounds like the carbonation would make it awfully bitter though. Does it have any sweetener?

[night lily]

Strangely enough the only variant sold here uses artificial sweetener, no real sugar variant tho

And it's not really bitter, a tad bit too sweet for me. But I really like the 'sparkling' aspect

[edgy scroll]

Hmmm. That would be no for me, probably. Can’t stand artificial sweeteners. (Unless you count corn syrup, I guess)

[unkempt yew]

How about natural sugar?

Straight from the cane

Gnawing sugar cane in fact

[edgy scroll]

Only if I’m walkin around barefoot while I do it

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

Can’t go outside right now, though… raining too hard

[unkempt yew]

Rain world

[edgy scroll]

Don’t forget to bring your Slugcats in when it’s stormy outside- if you’re wet, they’re wet

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

After seeing the word seafood in the discussion, can't help but wanting either a shrimp, crab or oysters

[vital rover]

[unkempt yew]

Should I post the upcoming work of the nonrw oneshot? It's CotL btw

Gosh, too many reveals from my works

[vital rover]

I don't see why not as long as it's in here.

[unkempt yew]

Two days in Anura, just two days that the Lamb heard the cries of their followers. Hozhan died from old age, Miki was in a revolt again, and Deefa got sick. It's too much for the infant god to handle all of it again as they go out on a quest.

Good thing the former bishops and their husband, (totally not forced) Narinder, were still stable in their stead for two days. Too much hope they had for their followers to remain faithful. But they need to grab Heket’s Throat as she requested.

have a snippet

[edgy scroll]

@sudden jackal

watch more movies!

[sudden jackal]

They cost money

And there's so many

[night lily]

Also @edgy scroll give me your fav sci-fi then

[edgy scroll]

I can DM you somethings that might help you with that

[sudden jackal]

Sure. You seem to have unique taste... I think

[edgy scroll]

Okay, recently, the new dune was really good... but all-time? gonna need a sec to think on that.

[sudden jackal]

I thought part one was better

[night lily]

Oh... Haven't watched this Dune yet, only saw the old one tho

[edgy scroll]

I'm inclined to agree

[sudden jackal]

Really?

[edgy scroll]

the old one is very strange and has many flaws, but I like it!

[edgy scroll]

yeah. The first half of the dune book is generally the more interesting half, in any case. and the second movie just indulges itself a little too much, takes a long time to get to the good stuff

[sudden jackal]

I only watched the first 10 minutes of the original (right after seeing part 2) since my dad wanted me to watch it. It did a much better job explaining everything to me. Since I have a dumb brain

[edgy scroll]

you know, david lynch, the director of the classic dune, hated that the studio made him have the intro monologue that explained the setting, fun fact

[night lily]

The young me back then didn't quite appreciate the strangeness vibe of it much on the first watch , but in hindsight it was very interesting for sure

[edgy scroll]

I mean... a man has to milk a cat every day to not die from the poison in his blood, the rat-juicer, the navigator... the movie oozes strangeness and creativity

[sudden jackal]

Well I needed it

[edgy scroll]

it is hard to track if you havent read the book

[night lily]

Those do serve well to emphasize this is an alien environment

[edgy scroll]

I do strongly recommend reading the book. It's very good, probably one of the best scifi novels in the last hundred years.

[sudden jackal]

Huh

I don't read very often

I only continue to read long lasting franchises that I read as a child that still haven't finished

[edgy scroll]

I don't either, honestly... but sometimes taking the dive into a book is worth it

[sudden jackal]

Same thing I feel for movies.

[edgy scroll]

as for other scifi movies, blade runner is a classic. the original is out-of-the-park good, and the new one is pretty solid too

[night lily]

....now that i think about it, the last few books I read were textbooks

The last non-textbook one was a sci-fi that is not mainstream. ( by qntm if anyone's ever heard of them)

[sudden jackal]

I've heard of blade runner

[edgy scroll]

ohhh man

it's really good

[sudden jackal]

I read the wild robot books

I think that's it...

[night lily]

Ah, I like Blade runner

You get a pass for that jab at BttF

[edgy scroll]

good... because I might make more
