Or steampunk

[edgy scroll]

wish I had some screenshots from the last time I really sunk my teeth into modded minecraft... me and a couple buds built some cool stuff

[fringe anchor]

This was singleplayer and I gave up halfway through the modpack

now i'm playing factorio

[unkempt yew]

Can I send something random?

[unkempt yew]

could reference to warhammer 40k

[edgy scroll]

my favorite was a pocket nuclear reactor that powered it's own mining drill and uranium refinery, while all fitting in a like 6x6x6 space

[edgy scroll]

this is the misc chat, isnt it?

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

Honestly, I prefer the look of minecraft beta

[edgy scroll]

it did have a style back then, didn't it?

[iron totem]

You can build a shitty wood box and it still looks kinda good

[unkempt yew]

How would react this kind of victory?

(mobile game tho )

[edgy scroll]

another glorious victory for the astra militarum

[unkempt yew]

I'm not updated towards Minecraft now

[fringe anchor]

Not too keen on tech mods but I have heard the tale of gregtech

[edgy scroll]

gregtech is dull as hell to me

[iron totem]

You should try it out, the new tricky trials update is lovely

Added copper and tuff blocks which are perfect for a steampunk style

[edgy scroll]

tech mods are fun when you have a friend who likes doing the fiddly stuff, so you can focus on just like, mining and building cool stuff

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

someday we will have the offical unoffical RW fanfiction minecraft server

[unkempt yew]

👀

[unkempt yew]

If that happens, I will be a smooth brain dumbass who will eat anything

[edgy scroll]

it's no longer slugcheese

it's monkcheese

[unkempt yew]

They changed it into monkcheese

[edgy scroll]

the world is moving to fast for you, anton

[plucky zenith]

[edgy scroll]

soon, you'll become an old man like me, too caught up in the past to be cool

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

I am old

And soon my day is upon that I'll reach the age of 20

[edgy scroll]

brother, you are in the prime of your life

[unkempt yew]

I felt something alright

[plucky zenith]

The entropy advances

[fringe anchor]

THEY HEARD MY REQUEST???

[unkempt yew]

[plucky zenith]

Piotr has all the power

Well-respected community member

[unkempt yew]

[fringe anchor]

The mods are puppets ran by me- I mean uhh they are nice and hear suggestions

[unkempt yew]

[plucky zenith]

[unkempt yew]

Hm

Harnessing the muse once more, do not disturb

[trim tartan]

I was always too caught up in something to follow trends.

[unkempt yew]

I have now finished harnessing it

another nonrw fic to practice that isn't anthromorphic

[plucky zenith]

Anton on that original fiction grind

[unkempt yew]

Not really, it's a Papa's something somethingeria fic

[buoyant pike]

instead of writing last night i made a dms skin for my slugcat sona...someone else is making a key skin for me so ill share that when its finished :3

[fringe anchor]

Yooo cool eyes

Reminds me of niko

I like it

[iron totem]

Cool!

[buoyant pike]

big peepers for looking at you

[lofty echo]

The promised bellpepper chicken

[fringe anchor]

Looks yummy

[open matrix]

gimmi pls

Nine Sols spoilers!!!

One last achievement left, all i need to do is start a new run and kill a few innocent robots

[fringe anchor]

"That sign won't stop me because..."

[iron totem]

You're evil...

[open matrix]

actually im quite nice, paid all the money for them and killed not a single one in my original file, i only do it for the achievements

[iron totem]

Don't tell me you hurt moon too for the achievement?

[open matrix]

there is an achievent for hurting moon

also, i would never!!!

[iron totem]

Stolen Enlightenment

Eat her neurons

[meager moat]

nom nom nom

[open matrix]

oh, perhaps then i did, cause im only missing the chalenge achievents anymore

probably from my first run still

[iron totem]

To be fair I did kinda bully moon with weapons and eat her brain after rivs ending, but...

[open matrix]

yeah, thats it, i know i was empty on food and then i learned that you could eat the neurons, i literally met moon, found out you can eat the white things, kinda just missed that she was obviously suffering from me eatign them, then sheltered

i also thought i was supposed to free her from her arm, so i began to throw spears first at the arm, then at her casue i had no idea what i was supposed to do

god, i was terrible to her

[iron totem]

The road to hell is paved with good intentions...

[open matrix]

im sorry moonnnn

ive never eaten a neuron from her after that, i swear!

[fringe anchor]

Look, i might have passages, but I did wipe save after that

[open matrix]

didnt even get the meet moon cut scene, just the moon looks sad up cutscene, what a start into the game

[iron totem]

They will never know...

[limber latch]

noodles

[sudden jackal]

I just finished my first day back at school
It sucked

[fringe anchor]

I don't even wanna think it starts in ~3 weeks

[plucky zenith]

I start in two weeks

[meager moat]

I've been going for a week, it sucks, enjoy the last fleeting moments of freedom

[fringe anchor]

[plucky zenith]

[sudden jackal]

Hope y'all don't get homework on the first day like me

I shouldn't have taken any ap I should a just done on level

[meager moat]

i am done with any sort of advanced class

from the classes i took, they did nothing but make learning the subject harder

[sudden jackal]

Yeh but I won't have to redo them in college if I do that which I probably will

[unkempt yew]

Homework.....

[night lily]

C2?

[unkempt yew]

Ye

Is this tea?

[night lily]

I've never seen this one so can't confirm...

But it probably is

[unkempt yew]

Idk how to describe the taste

It just .... Bitter water

[night lily]

But... It's less bitter than coffee!

And not at all sour!

[plucky zenith]

This has enraged the Epochs

[night lily]

I'll defend tea to my last breath if I must

[limpid ore]

im cringe and only llike two kinds of tea and its none of the floral ones

this one sweet tea mix and a specific brand of breakfast tea

[plucky zenith]

I'm cringer and have never had tea in my entire life

[meager moat]

The British call Me cringe when I put my tea in the fridge

[unkempt yew]

mb homie

I don't really know of tea

[lament blade]

The eternal drink war between tea and coffee...

In the grim damp future, there is only beverage warfare...

[meager moat]

Oh if we're picking sides, then I gotta join the roobeer side

[unkempt yew]

I may be a Coffee Fanatic but I don't want war

[edgy scroll]

roobeer

[meager moat]

The drinky games

[unkempt yew]

In a few weeks, I will drink roo beer

[meager moat]

Put all the drinks into that hunger games site

[unkempt yew]

As I said before,

I, Anton, will drink root beer to honor the tradition of sodachat. In the day and month of Virgo, I will confirm the result.

[lament blade]

Gourmand meanwhile looking for the perfect drink concoction

[unkempt yew]

Creating the perfect drink

[limpid ore]

ROOBEER

[lament blade]

The perfect martini...Bond approves

(Would Spearmaster be Bond???)

[unkempt yew]

James Bond
Never thought SM would be 007

But I rather the old movies like mi mama told me

[edgy scroll]

they are number 7 already...

[lament blade]

Drinks, is a Seven, on a covert mission from an Iterator...

[unkempt yew]

Must watch again some old James Bond movie

[lament blade]

Okay, when I mad Sev a black operative spy I didn't think that one through

[unkempt yew]

[limpid ore]

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT

rat plinko

my friend also sent me budew plinko

[scenic escarp]

Budew plinko!?

[meager moat]

no.... no.... NO DONT BRING THE POKEMON INTO THIS

[sudden jackal]

I'm a tire

[unkempt yew]

RAT PLINKO

[unkempt yew]

Take rest thine rest 🫵

[sudden jackal]

I can't I have homework

[unkempt yew]

Ever played that one mini game from a Papa's plinko?

[unkempt yew]

I see

[sudden jackal]

Yeh

How was your first day in uni or whatever

[unkempt yew]

College?

Many essays, projects for the first week

I'm okay with essays tho, feels like writing again

[sudden jackal]

Oof essays are hard. You probably have it worse than me

I will fail college

[unkempt yew]

Do not put yourself in the negativity state 🫵

[sudden jackal]

Ok thx

[unkempt yew]

Because a negative mindset would put you in a wringer

[sudden jackal]

What's a wringer

All I know is there's a SpongeBob episode about it that ppl hate.

[unkempt yew]

The hardest time, just how we writers want to our characters

[sudden jackal]

Hmm

[edgy scroll]

A wringer is a tool for drying cloth, wringing out all the water from it...
'being put through a wringer' is literally having the life squeezed out of you, leaving you a dry husk

[unkempt yew]

Just like in HK

No mind to think
No will to break
No voice to cry suffering

[plucky zenith]

the power of writing as a hobby

[unkempt yew]

we putting those

[limpid ore]

ok i have a question for stories chat

how do yall wash yer dishes?

dishwasher, under running water, fill the sink and then wash all the dishes in that?

i do the last one and people think im weird

[unkempt yew]

Using some dipper and hand wash it

With sponge of course

Because I don't have a faucet to make the water run, so I have to bring two buckets of water for washing the dishes

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

And now that you mentioned it, I have to wash the dishes now

[limpid ore]

me too

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

running hot water, sponge scrub off the grit, into the dishwasher

[austere hawk]

This

Lucky enough to have a dishwasher. I get the dishes visually clean and let the dishwasher sanitize them :3

[unkempt yew]

What's a dishwasher?

This a genuine question, idk what that is, does it really washing dish on its own?

[edgy scroll]

it's like a washing machine but for dishes instead of clothes

[unkempt yew]

that's an actual thing?

[edgy scroll]

they're nice, but you do still have to clean the dishes somewhat by hand. mostly they just sanitize, in my experience

[edgy scroll]

yeah

[unkempt yew]

Never thought technology could sanitize dishes for you

Had to do the manual way, go to a water pump, get two buckets of water, going back and start washing dishes. After that, rinse it with water and dry it off by wiping it off

[limpid ore]

i really want one of those three compartment sinks like the one in my former high school's cullinary kitchen

you turn that shit on with a floor pedal

[unkempt yew]

👀

I wished I pick culinary kitchen instead of agriculture

But then again, I liked agriculture too

[limpid ore]

a spot with soapy water, a spot to rinse the dishes, and the third spot she had a sanitizing solution in

[limpid ore]

i took agriscience in my senior year of high school i think? i forgor most of it but remember how to look for bad beef

[edgy scroll]

that's the commercial setup as well... pretty much every kitchen has three sinks for the big stuff and a big machine for the little stuff

[limpid ore]

omg i want pedal sink so bad

RAAAH

i liked it so much

[unkempt yew]

Same

stepping on it instead of opening it with your hands

[unkempt yew]

We mostly focusing on planting

[limpid ore]

i remember cultivating wild onions

i hate eating onions but was obsessed with growing wild ones fer some reason

[limpid ore]

there was also a commercial deep fryer in there and it intimidated me

i never learned how to turn it on and off

[unkempt yew]

Foodchat, no cooking for the moment due to the inconveniences of no gas stove

So buying blood stew

[limber latch]

erm hi

[night lily]

Blood ?

-# Anton = vampire??

[night lily]

Helo!

[unkempt yew]

I am not a vampire

I may be hatin the sun but that doesn't mean I don't go out

-# I do like blood stew

[unkempt yew]

Hola

[buoyant pike]

i made the skin for the express purpose of being able to torment him (because i love him)

[unkempt yew]

A lil draw in college

[open matrix]

average expression during classes

[unkempt yew]

Many, many been loaded during the first week

Looks like I can't write Chasing Birds 7, Swashbuckling Adventures 2 and the Raindeer Hunt

[limpid ore]

cover is coming along

ill rearrange the other characters at some point later

[lament blade]

So odd question time and I know Cy is covering one of these: Which genre of do you think we need more of for Rain World for interesting ideas, Westerns or Space?

[scenic escarp]

Haven't seen a western before

[open matrix]

had to come back just because of that

the rango crossover is still in work that counts as a western when i get it done someday

[lament blade]

There are a few, but they're buried and seem to be on permanent hiatus

[open matrix]

now i will go

gn

[lament blade]

Bye

[plucky zenith]

The niche has made itself clear

[lament blade]

I am toying with the idea with my Alcenta AU, but not really sure if I can pull it off. Not my style kind of thing

[plucky zenith]

What's Alcenta?

[austere hawk]

Cry and Piotr both have a space themed fic, but I don’t know any westerns other than amany’s rango crossover

[lament blade]

My setting. Haven't made a forum yet

[plucky zenith]

oh okay

[lofty echo]

I raise you fried rice - Kitchen Impossible version

[lament blade]

Though to be very specific, it's the name of the planet where the setting takes place

I would like to show a Western detective Slugcat riding a Miros Bird off into the sunset alongside a Thrumbo riding giant sloth...but again not sure that's a story for me to specifically write

[scenic escarp]

"Cry"

[austere hawk]

Damnit haha

[lament blade]

Most obvious horse stand in for Rain World: the lizards

Me: Make the Slugcat ride a Miros Bird because why not?

[plucky zenith]

Who else would write it?

[austere hawk]

Who cares if it’s not the style of thing you usually make? Sounds like it interests you. Start writing and see if you’re feeling it :p

[lament blade]

Well, I guess I could ditch the detective mystery and instead go with a medicinal supply run like what they did for Nome, Alaska with sled dogs

[plucky zenith]

I mean, absurdism is like your thing

go for it

[lament blade]

(AKA, the actual event where Balto actually did help deliver medicine)

[lament blade]

Absurd ideas yes. I'll save the actual absurdity as a plot point for Halloween

In the meantime, Sliver needs to figure out how to medieval Slugcat

And...||she likes frilly pillows||

What? You lot don't like ||frilly pillows||?

[plucky zenith]

fluffy pillows are where it's at

unless it's hot

[balmy plume]

why does it smell like dry mayonnaise

i'm in the middle of class but there's just this overwhelming smell of mayonnaise and it's driving me insane

[fringe anchor]

Hm, mayo

[iron totem]

Fried rice is tasty

[balmy plume]

I like/love mayonnaise but I despise the smell

[balmy plume]

I actually don't like the smell of any of the...what are they even called?

The smell of any of the holy trinity of mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup

I hate the smell of all of them, and find the taste of ketchup disgusting

[meager moat]

https://tenor.com/view/spacecore-space-portal-core-gif-5586787

[lament blade]

I'm going to assume this means space is more desired...

Still wonder how much of a headache the Mass Effect universe would have if they saw a Miros Bird, let alone an Iterator...

Also, Breaking Galactic news! Newly discovered rodent species escapes confinement and crashes Council meeting!

[edgy scroll]

I have read a western RW fic actually

Aside from the rango parody, which is pretty funny

Lemme see if I can find it…

[austere hawk]

It’s so funny, I’m really looking forward to the completed thing

[lament blade]

The only other space thing besides Captain Inv I can see for giggles would be Star Wars somehow... Saint being a Jedi???

[edgy scroll]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55643104
All the scugs are bandits… two chapters, no idea when/if it’ll be updated

[lament blade]

I've seen this one. Actually interesting but the lack of updates is...upsetting

Also Cy, I still need to read your other stuff (same for Banan, I'M SORRY!) but Inv being a knock off Kirk is amusing

[balmy plume]

i should probably pick back up that one idea i had for a space iterator story

[edgy scroll]

Nbd, it’s hard to keep up with all the fics, I know!
I actually have another space fic in the works…
Is Space Captain is a pulp scifi, this one would be a 50’s-60’s B movie…
But that’s one on the back burner for now.

[lament blade]

Actually speaking of Kirk, does the crew wear pajamas in your story like they did in the Original Series?

[meager moat]

Y e s

The only reason I haven't read that inv story from Cy is I want a backlog to build up before reading

[edgy scroll]

The little outfit banan drew for the title art of Space Captain is accurate to how the slugcats dress in the fic (though only the captains get the spiffy lil hats)!

[lament blade]

Well, better than Krik and his pajamas

[sudden jackal]

2nd day of school was much better

[edgy scroll]

If I were traveling space for the good of humanity and galactic peace, I’d wanna do it in my pajamas too, tbh

[sudden jackal]

Same.

[edgy scroll]

That’s good

[lament blade]

Lol what?!

[fringe anchor]

The space fic market is getting competetive /j

[edgy scroll]

Comfy

[sudden jackal]

What if you went on a desert planet

[edgy scroll]

I’d bring a water bottle

[sudden jackal]

I'd wear shorts

[meager moat]

Tho I'm probably really bias, I know most of the ship names from star wars off the top of my head

[fringe anchor]

You mean ship classes or individual ship names?

[lament blade]

Actually hold up... My AU is set on a planet by the name of Alcenta, it has Rimworld elements to it, there's ancient super tech nonsense, and twenty years after the "main story" world war there's an early space program up and running...

Does that count as a space Rain World setting???

[edgy scroll]

Space? No. Sci-fi? Yes.

Space setting needs to be more focused around space, as per the Trek-Wars-Gate model

[fringe anchor]

the what model

[edgy scroll]

I’d love to explain more, but I gotta dip, got a dinner to go to!

Have a good one fellas!

[plucky zenith]

[meager moat]

Classes

[unkempt yew]

Morning stories

[scenic escarp]

(Sees message before edit) You may need more sleep

[unkempt yew]

Nuh uh

I ain't sleepy, I just woke up

[scenic escarp]

Fair... you are spared. For now

[unkempt yew]

Also, 6 am is the time where I was supposed to do house chores

[plucky zenith]

[scenic escarp]

Rip

[unkempt yew]

So what I missing?

[meager moat]

The talk about sci-fi rw fics

[unkempt yew]

Sci-fi

One thing I suck writing at

If you give me a choice of Warhammer Fantasy or Warhammer 40k

I pick where there are lizardmen mounting on dinosaur

[fringe anchor]

Met a funny guy today

(Not THE kerfus )

[unkempt yew]

who's that fancy gentlebot

-# come to think of it, haven't seen any bots like ever

[fringe anchor]

It was just driving around with nothing lmao

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

We are near September, Christmas closing in

[meager moat]

We are near the end of the year

It's supposed to be the beginning of it

[unkempt yew]

The cycle

Let's celebrate Christmas

My country: celebrates Christmas early

[lament blade]

So yet ANOTHER colony sown the drain. This time due to WW1 style wave assaults the way Scavengers attack Artificerwearing me down and fire...so, so, so much fire. Which got me thinking: Assuming a fire broke out in Rain World how bad could it get and how would the wildlife handle it?

Halloween is now a thing to focus on... Nightmare Before Christmas levels of nonsense is going to happen where it's November 1st, time to start planning for the next Halloween

[meager moat]

Hot take: Nightmare before Christmas is a Thanksgiving movie (wait, do you guys even know what Thanksgiving is?)

[lament blade]

Seriously, I remember a time where holidays mattered the month they were in. Now it might as well be an entire season be the holiday

Just wait, November happens and it's going to be Christmas time despite being a month a half away which means an extra month of Christmas songs

If you like those songs, great. If not...WHERE'S MY BILLY JOEL?!

[unkempt yew]

CHRISTMAS IS NEAR
Let us be positive

[unkempt yew]

I kinda familiar with it tho

[lament blade]

Just realized another thing: If all thr buildings in Rain World are semi-organic, wouldn't fire be "lethal" to the buildings?

[unkempt yew]

Like, a living building?

[lament blade]

More or less...

[unkempt yew]

Well, organic not good with fire

[lofty echo]

Speaking of organic

Potato salad with German ravioli

[unkempt yew]

What ravioli taste like?

[night lily]

Ahhh Ravioli...
I wish we had that more here, I have found one good restaurant (on a vacation) that has it then never found any one that has it again...

[lofty echo]

They are the Swabian variant

[iron totem]

Looks tasty!

[unkempt yew]

Like pasta?

The revelation of new food opened up to me

[iron totem]

American holiday were you eat turkey, I think?

[night lily]

It's basically harder wonton i think

[unkempt yew]

Ah I understand

[iron totem]

Pasta filled with some stuff

[night lily]

And not as watery

[lofty echo]

Very tasty as soup or like this

[unkempt yew]

Looks like I'm sticking to siomai again

[lament blade]

Ravioli is basically a pasta shell stuffed with something. Usually mean or cheese

[unkempt yew]

I'm poor

[meager moat]

Yes, and we thank whoever for whatever

[lofty echo]

Mean stuffed

[lament blade]

Meat*

Phone...behave

(What is it phone? This is Potsylvania from Rocky and Bullwinkle where they export mean?)

[unkempt yew]

Typos are imminent

Nothing we can do, cap

[night lily]

I like those too... If I don't have to guess and gamble every time whether it has minced shrimp mixed in or not....

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

Shrimp is tasty

[unkempt yew]

"What I placed in front of you, are a batch of steam siomai. But there's only one pork out of hundred shrimp."

[lofty echo]

Only in the form of paste or in sushi

[night lily]

Im allergic
Like, badly allergic...

[unkempt yew]

"Finding the pork will be the key of your exit."

[iron totem]

Oh, yeah then you better not eat them

[lament blade]

Though, Rocky & Bullwinkle "exporting mean" thing actually was a thing in one of their cartoons

[night lily]

just stab me, that'll be faster

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

Does people randomly mix shrimp into it?

[night lily]

"Can I borrow a pen and a paper? Gotta write a will real quick"

[unkempt yew]

[night lily]

The 'authentic' Chinese restaurant will always mix them in...

Even though the label is 'pork'

[unkempt yew]

Of course, diverse of flavours despite there's already a label

[iron totem]

I see, that's unfortunate

[trim tartan]

Yes, we are very aware.

[unkempt yew]

Guys, we gotta celebrate Christmas

[trim tartan]

It’s August.

[unkempt yew]

And September is closing in

[lament blade]

Good, time to start carving pumpkins and get your skeletons out. It's Halloween season according to ads

[night lily]

The weather is still hot as heck tho

[unkempt yew]

Indeed

But Christmas still stands

Here's a context why we celebrating in September

[night lily]

There's a lot of preparation?

[iron totem]

That's cool

[unkempt yew]

Maybe

[iron totem]

I don't celebrate christmas

[unkempt yew]

[night lily]

As an extremely introvert person, I dont like how public places get so busy during the Christmas-New Year week

[unkempt yew]

but firework-
Ah nvm, nobody gonna do fireworks in the current years

[night lily]

Fireworks are overrated anyway—

[iron totem]

They're kinda cool, but very noisy

[fringe anchor]

Just don't go to such places /j

[fringe anchor]

Scare pets too

[iron totem]

And people handle them like idiots

[unkempt yew]

Nah, it's because it's too dangerous

[night lily]

Ok then

Inb4 got fired from work

[unkempt yew]

I love handling fireworks but it banned because of accidents

[fringe anchor]

One time a stray firework hit a wooden power pole and that's how we did not have power for the new year

[unkempt yew]

[fringe anchor]

Nah nobody got hurt but they did have to replace the pole

[unkempt yew]

dang, sometimes I remember stray fireworks

[iron totem]

I love new years

[unkempt yew]

We get a free pass of waking up in the middle of the night

[meager moat]

New years is the only time the sleep police sleep

[iron totem]

We're never sleeping, always awake...

[lament blade]

Though shall stay awake. Sleep is for the dinosaurs

[unkempt yew]

The Sleep Police™ will never sleep

[iron totem]

[lament blade]

...The bleeping bleeps of helling bleeps is THAT?!

NO

[night lily]

I've been awake through the end of the year's midnights for a couple of years in a row now, and none was for celebration

[unkempt yew]

What in the yuumi main am I seeing?

[iron totem]

Random buff mod

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

The rogue like thingy?

[iron totem]

Yeah

I find this gif incredibly funny

[lament blade]

Forget Rain World, that's some Risk of Rain levels of nonsense

RoR Artificer, your RW counterpart needs assistance!

[unkempt yew]

Hm

[night lily]

Which Artificer here? RoRR or RoR2?

Not really impressed with RoRR one's performance

[unkempt yew]

Gonna try RoR soon

[lament blade]

RoR2

[iron totem]

The mod has a lot of content and is pretty cool. Pretty nonsensical at the end

[lament blade]

I have the OG RoR1 and I'm good with it

[iron totem]

Play it as paincat for the ultimate "rain world" experience

[unkempt yew]

[night lily]

How does the mod work in that 'roguelike' aspect? Like expedition?

[night lily]

Ah yes, i remember those days of playing until game crashes

[iron totem]

Yeah, you can either choose "mission mode" or "free mode". Mission mode gives you a set amount of cards and some quests to complete, free mode gives you randomized quests and you pick 1 good card, one negative/neutral card at the end of every cycle

You can't permanently die, but some quests require you to finish in less than x deaths

[lament blade]

That happened only once to me. Despite losing progress on a good run, I laughed

[iron totem]

It is a pretty cool mod, probably quite fun with coop, but it deviates too much from the core rain world gameplay for my liking

Not really for me

Mod is massive, though.

[night lily]

So what happens if you fail the quest?

[iron totem]

Nothing

[lament blade]

Wait...does this mean "Dragoncat" can now be a thing?

[iron totem]

You just won't get as much exp

[night lily]

Truly free mode huh...

[meager moat]

Really good if you like that kinda thing

[iron totem]

I don't have anyone to play coop with

None of my friends like rain world

[night lily]

Same

[unkempt yew]

I can't play because my sis was angry about her laptop

[meager moat]

You're my friend now, we're having soft tacos later!

[night lily]

A friend likes it enough to delve into the lore, but never tried playing themselves

Im half-excited for the Rain-Meadow mod tho. Maybe i could convince a friend to try that when it actually gets released

[meager moat]

I've played the beta of that, it's really fun to do races and hide and seek with

[scenic escarp]

I like this critter

[balmy plume]

Oh no.
She is defrosting again

[lethal kindle]

What would it burn?

[unkempt yew]

Sodachat, in a week, I shall drink the liquid you talked so much. Roo beer

I, Anton, will drink the sustenance in the future for it is inevitable

[fringe anchor]

Please report back on any changes regarding your muse

[unkempt yew]

I can't regard with my muse

I had to do autobiography and some biographies

[austere hawk]

These two are too powerful

[unkempt yew]

[austere hawk]

[fringe anchor]

i have 2 monksillies on my phone but 1 monksilly on my PC for some reason

[austere hawk]

I’m on phone

[unkempt yew]

Phone got power

[iron totem]

||Sure buddy, sure... ||(Nine Sols spoilers)

[unkempt yew]

I nearly press the spoilers

[iron totem]

Self control...

[unkempt yew]

But playing LoL on the other hand

[austere hawk]

My brain didn’t even think about it I pressed the spoilers

Nothing major, luckily

[unkempt yew]

I cannot press

[iron totem]

What game is that? Is it good?

[unkempt yew]

No

[limpid ore]

it is coming

[limpid ore]

ROOBEER

[unkempt yew]

cheers to the near future

[limpid ore]

now i have to draw the Echo

[austere hawk]

Average LoL player: has thousand of hours in playtime

random person: “Is it good?”

LoL player: “no”

[meager moat]

Oh that gave me an idea

[limpid ore]

average rain world enthusiast

[trim tartan]

Thank you!

[limpid ore]

[trim tartan]

Rain World loves to beat you down, but you want to come back to it all the same.

[iron totem]

This is most likely a joke, rain world review

[limpid ore]

real fr

[iron totem]

The most hours I've seen someone have in this game is a modder with 7.8k hours

I "only" have around 600 hours

[meager moat]

I have around the same

Wait

Yall are talking about hours in LOL aren't yall

[austere hawk]

No I think they are talking about RW now :3

[limpid ore]

is this enough tentacles/arms

do i need more

[scenic escarp]

Very arm, good

[limpid ore]

lineart lets goooooo

the echo is in a separate layer and will be faded out behind everything at some point

[sudden jackal]

I just watched alien

It was ok

Kinda boring

Xenomorph was barely in it

And it wasn't that scary

[iron totem]

I haven't watched alien, but the thing is pretty good

[limpid ore]

i hear the video game can be very terrifying

[unkempt yew]

True
7 years of my gaming experience.... It's still crap yet I'm playing

[sudden jackal]

The thing wa slike a much better version of alien

[balmy plume]

Have you watched Aliens? (Emphasis on the "s")

[sudden jackal]

Nah. Not yet

[balmy plume]

I haven't rewatched it in a while, but it's pretty good

[sudden jackal]

I'm watching the newer ones first cause I need to see those before Romulus

But yeah it wasn't really scary

It was like a much worse version of the thing

[balmy plume]

I think it's more about the general suspense. You also gotta think it was the very first film of a (then non-existent) series that came out in 1979

Big difference between "Oh god, when is the monster going to appear?" and "When's the xenomorph gonna show up?"
-# I hope the point I'm trying to say makes sense

[sudden jackal]

Yeah Ik it's just that I was expecting one of the best most timeless horror movies of all time. And it was disappointing.

Also a lot of build up

I liked ||android|| guy, he was cool and scary

[balmy plume]

If you go into the Friday the 13th franchise intending to binge it all, you aren't exactly going to be scared by Jason showing up and killing people, you know what I mean?

[iron totem]

Well, the thing is scary

It has a lot of suspense

[sudden jackal]

Yeah. but I was scared by the thing and pennywise tho. Tho I guess they transform. Tho Ghostface didn't scare me. But that's a slasher. Idk.

[balmy plume]

And considering the budget + the year of release, it was probably cheaper and more efficient to focus on the suspense instead of just going all in

-# For the record, I haven't watched The Thing

[iron totem]

You should, it's pretty good!

[sudden jackal]

Is that a lot or a little for the late 70s?

[iron totem]

Any good horror film recommendations?

[balmy plume]

After comparing with a few other movies of the time, it seems to be a tad bit below average? The Thing's budget was 15 mil

[iron totem]

Train to Busan is pretty good, Korean zombie film/drama

More drama than horror

[sudden jackal]

Never heard of it

[sudden jackal]

Hmm. Interesting.

[iron totem]

It's an actually good zombie film

[unkempt yew]

Good ending

[sudden jackal]

All the designs in Alien were great

[balmy plume]

tbf, Ridley Scott (Alien film director) is more of a sci-fi guy and John Carpenter is definitely more horror

[sudden jackal]

I bring it up cause I watched both recently and they follow a similar structure

And cause I like one better than the other

[balmy plume]

I opened Netflix out of curiosity and ???
what is this title

[unkempt yew]

Aliens weren't scary

But watching the playthrough of a video game made me scared shitless

[sudden jackal]

Based on a card game

[unkempt yew]

[sudden jackal]

Hmm. Which game

[iron totem]

Evil title

[balmy plume]

"Alright! Today I'm finally going to play through Alien Isolation!"
[mildly scary ambiance sound]
"nvm "

[sudden jackal]

Which has the same name

[unkempt yew]

Alien Isolation

[unkempt yew]

I hate the ambience so much that I love horror games

[balmy plume]

Horror game ambiance is my weakness

[iron totem]

Try SOMA, it's really really good

[balmy plume]

I still don't know how I even got past Outlast.

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

No

[limpid ore]

[sudden jackal]

I do not play horror games

Besides FNAF

[unkempt yew]

I watched a gameplay and no

[iron totem]

Love this!

[unkempt yew]

Horror + Deep Sea???

A huge no no for me

[iron totem]

Subnautica

[sudden jackal]

Oh I played Subnautica but that doesn't count

Blood kelp scary

[limpid ore]

i love her so much...

[sudden jackal]

Yeh

[unkempt yew]

[sudden jackal]

When I was like 9

[unkempt yew]

Dude, that's scary

[sudden jackal]

Yeh

Undertows are scary

Gulf of Mexico sucks

I also almost stepped on like 3 jellyfish on the same trip I think.

[unkempt yew]

[sudden jackal]

I didn't tho

[unkempt yew]

Jellyfish are sometimes sneaky

[austere hawk]

Watch aliens

Aliens is the action thriller sequel to alien and it’s SO good

I like alien too, but if you’re looking for something with more xenomorphs aliens is

[sudden jackal]

Okie den

[unkempt yew]

What about AvP?

[balmy plume]

I hadn't seen the trap

[unkempt yew]

What's the game?

[balmy plume]

Spelunky 2

[unkempt yew]

what's the game about?

[meager moat]

Spelunking

[unkempt yew]

I see

I should've read the title

[meager moat]

(its a real word)

[unkempt yew]

Ik, playing Terraria taught me

[balmy plume]

I'm getting snailed through time and space two times in a row

[meager moat]

speed

[unkempt yew]

Too slow chucklenuts

[balmy plume]

i'm trying to reach the black market to unlock a spelunker and i'm getting killed in the most absurd ways every time 💔

[unkempt yew]

If I have every nickel of getting slow to post, I'd have two nickels
Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[balmy plume]

If I had a nickel for every time that I had a nickel, I'd have two nickels

[unkempt yew]

Real

[balmy plume]

jungle sucks so much please rngesus just let me get to the black market once so that i can go to volcana

[grand sand]

As someone who hasn't played Spelunky 2 in like a year all I remember is avoiding the jungle at all costs

[unkempt yew]

Stories misc
Does anyone had the urge to walk what they wanted to feel like?
I feel like marching today

[meager moat]

walk, it can help you think

[unkempt yew]

The urge to march 2 km is real

[meager moat]

"and i will walk 500 miles"

[unkempt yew]

[sudden jackal]

I don't walk

[limpid ore]

what kind of bedroom should this be

[unkempt yew]

Put it with reinforced galvanized steel

[limpid ore]

[unkempt yew]

[fringe anchor]

add the toilet elevator

[unkempt yew]

And a hidden bed that could use as a sofa

[fringe anchor]

integrate bathroom into kitchen

[unkempt yew]

Gonna have me some blood on a stick

-# it's a normal food here, don't mind me

What?

I tell you, it's good

[fringe anchor]

mind holding this bit of garlic for me for a sec, buddy?

[unkempt yew]

Sure, I do love me some-
Turns to dust

[iron totem]

Blood food is good...

[unkempt yew]

See
Blood food is indeed good

[fringe anchor]

more garlic

[iron totem]

Garlic is good too

[unkempt yew]

I do love blood stew with fried garlic on my rice

Blood stew again for lunch

[night lily]

The only discrepancy that suggests Anton probably isn't a vampire is that he seems to like rain....

[plucky zenith]

I always thought vampires were impartial to rain?

considering how active they seem on dark stormy nights

[night lily]

Is rain not considered running water?

[plucky zenith]

not a running body of water I'd say

[unkempt yew]

I'm not a vampire

I happened to hate the sun but it doesn't mean I always hiding in my room

[plucky zenith]

suspicious

what does garlic taste like?

[unkempt yew]

I always go outside

[night lily]

And that's true... I think a dark night with thunder and lightning is a very common trope

[unkempt yew]

Very tasty I tell you

[limpid ore]

im not a vampire. i stay inside bc its almost a hundred degrees outside

[night lily]

Sure, that's what every vampire in hiding would say!

[unkempt yew]

Garlic chips? Oh boy it's heaven

[limpid ore]

G A R L I C B R E A D

[unkempt yew]

Same

[plucky zenith]

But describe the taste of actual garlic

[night lily]

that's bad even from my standard ( of living near the equator)

[limpid ore]

raw garlic tastes nasty asf

and its SO sticky

[unkempt yew]

Well it is spicy but it is good for Adobo and good for barbeques

[night lily]

Certified vampire

[unkempt yew]

I love me some fried garlic on my rice and shrimp siomai

[limpid ore]

down here in yeehaw land, we're lucky to get 75 degrees at night SOMETIMES

[unkempt yew]

I am IN the equator

[night lily]

Let me convert that into non-yeehaw land unit

[limpid ore]

now garlic in pasta sauce? yummy.

hehe

[night lily]

That's pretty cool temp for me!

[plucky zenith]

Can't relate to this chat at all being a northerner

[unkempt yew]

Don't step into the equator man

[plucky zenith]

I'm aware

[unkempt yew]

How much is 75 fahrenheit?

[balmy plume]

This image will haunt my dreams

[limpid ore]

75 is very very good but not when its only an occasional present

[night lily]

I mean, if my calculation is not wrong, 75F =~24C....

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

Oooh, cold

[night lily]

That's my air conditioner set value....

[unkempt yew]

I do love me some cold temperature

[limpid ore]

omg i LOVE the cold

[plucky zenith]

you guys can come up here in winter then

[limpid ore]

i am extremely susceptible to heatstroke

[plucky zenith]

Walking around in shorts is awesome in 32F (0 to -1C)

[unkempt yew]

[night lily]

If it's below 15c then it's freezing for us

[unkempt yew]

Real

[limpid ore]

eighty degrees can induce heat sickness fer me so i LOVE freezing temps

[plucky zenith]

I play hockey that's my comfort temperature

[unkempt yew]

Imagine living in place where it is 40 degrees Celsius and up

And I'm wearing all black, including hoodie

[limpid ore]

real. no matter how cold it gets, im just in shorts and a tank top lmao.

my body is lava

[plucky zenith]

if you're dry and the wind is calm, 0F (-18C) is actually quite nice tbh

[night lily]

Real

[plucky zenith]

I like to go for night time skates or walks in the woods

[balmy plume]

Where I live, you get those suffocating and humid +40° C summers and

[unkempt yew]

real

It is indeed hot in summers

[plucky zenith]

I'd die tbh

I'm miserable when it's 75 degrees

[balmy plume]

It felt like being trapped in a sauna, but if the sauna spanned the entirety of the world

[unkempt yew]

Lemme enjoy my blood stew with my blood on a stick

[night lily]

We live here all our life so we're resistant to hot&humid I guess

On the other hand, I once have been to northern Europe, and the slightest of wind in 12c weather made me feel sick

[plucky zenith]

12c?

[balmy plume]

AND I ALMOST FORGOT
THE MOSQUITOES

[unkempt yew]

12 degrees Celsius

[unkempt yew]

[plucky zenith]

that's the best temperature ever dude

[night lily]

~ 53 F

[unkempt yew]

We cannot live to that coldness

[plucky zenith]

Dude just wear a light hoodie and long pants and it's instant coziness

[unkempt yew]

Buying mosquito coil and mosquito repellent for it

[balmy plume]

mfw I'm sitting in my room and suddenly see a flying dot going across my screen and then my arm feels a bit itchy

[unkempt yew]

[night lily]

I had to wear double sweaters ON TOP of a thick t shirt

[plucky zenith]

See that's the best part of the north

all the bugs get destroyed for half of every year

[unkempt yew]

I cannot drive at night with just hoodie and thick shirt

[plucky zenith]

but that's optimal cozy tho

plus when it's time to sleep and you can just curl up in the blankets

[balmy plume]

Mildly related to the temperature discussion: I have not worn a long-sleeve shirt in at least 8 years

[night lily]

...well that part I can agree

[balmy plume]

It's 4° C outside? We short sleevin' this one

[plucky zenith]

Same
Short sleeve plus hoodie is the way

[unkempt yew]

Gotta go tho, coleg
||||

[limpid ore]

i own only one or two shirts with ANY sleeves, so i very understand

[night lily]

[plucky zenith]

Gotta say being up north is quite nice

except for the sun but

[limpid ore]

shirts from my grandpa dont count tho. i wear em over my tank tops as an accessory

evil sun

[plucky zenith]

nah it's the opposite: it's winter and the sun rises at 9AM and sets at 5PM

you wake up in darkness and you get home from work in darkness

It's quite mildly depressing

[limpid ore]

my ass would not like that (severe nyctophobia)

[night lily]

Ah yes, the sun being late for work and going home early...

(We have a pretty consistent day time here so that concept is strange for us....)

[limpid ore]

i cant even go outside at night by myself bc im terrified

[plucky zenith]

Well at least during the day in winter, the snow just flashbangs you every time you look outside

so goddam bright

[limpid ore]

to not burn to death makes all of this seem worth it though

[plucky zenith]

you also need to shovel the snow whenever it comes

and black ice is everywhere

and sometimes your pipes explode

(if your house is old)

but other than that I'd agree

plus you have an excuse to hide inside all the time since that's what everyone does

[limpid ore]

i would put in however much effort i needed to to live where it is really cold

i crave no more near hundred degrees days

[unkempt yew]

I'm back

What did I missed?

[fringe anchor]

not sure, i have not been around here for long

[unkempt yew]

Looks like Chasing Birds 7 is back on bby

Slow and steady progress we getting

[unkempt yew]

So, work? I have three branching paths:
Either be a mechanic
An OFW
A teacher

[edgy scroll]

what's an OFW?

[unkempt yew]

Overseas Filipino Worker

[unkempt yew]

Which sadly, I could quit college and go somewhere to make money outside the country

[edgy scroll]

which one do you want to do?

[trim tartan]

I'm no professional regarding work.

[unkempt yew]

Depends where I'm gonna land

[trim tartan]

But from a friend of mine - you only have this life.

[unkempt yew]

If I drop out college, I could go as a mechanic or an OFW

[trim tartan]

Safe is utterly menial.

[unkempt yew]

If I continue, I could be a teacher

[trim tartan]

In short, do what you want to do.

[unkempt yew]

True

[trim tartan]

I'm not telling you to go out and become a hit pop singer or anything.

But keep the burning dream inside you alive.

[unkempt yew]

I can't sing well

[trim tartan]

And if you don't seem to have one? Find it and set it ablaze.

[meager moat]

Help my fire keeps on moving from on dream to another

[trim tartan]

My prescription for that? Refer to this.

Don't quit college because of me.

Don't drop out of school because of me.

But remember - this is your one life. Unless you believe in reincarnation, in which case, I guess it doesn't matter as much.

[unkempt yew]

Continuing the path I weaved, I must reach what I want.

[edgy scroll]

Future's a mystery, past is history, present's a gift.

[unkempt yew]

Yeah, I remembered that scene

[edgy scroll]

that's a scene? I thought it was like, a historical quote or something

[unkempt yew]

Idk, been binge watching the past movies

[edgy scroll]

anything good?

[unkempt yew]

Other movies, good
Others, I kinda cringed that I used to watch those as a kid

[edgy scroll]

okay, tell me the best movie and the worst movie you've watched recently

[unkempt yew]

Let's see, I find Princess Mononoke lit
And the alpha and omega..... lil me, why

[edgy scroll]

Princess mononoke is one of this films I keep meaning to watch...
as for alpha and omega, I never saw it. I vaguely remember it coming out and then immediately getting sucked under in the wash of mediocre 3-d animated children's films with animals

[unkempt yew]

don't watch it again

I keep questioning about it and then.... There's this one movie which awakened the furry self and idk why

[edgy scroll]

[unkempt yew]

In the year of 2018, my cousin hated me for it and now tolerating my existence by playing LoL

[edgy scroll]

LoL

[plucky zenith]

LoL

[unkempt yew]

But hey it's still absolutely shite good

[iron totem]

I think I should play it since it is so good

[fringe anchor]

10000 hours played
"don't recomment" /j

[unkempt yew]

No

I forbid you to play such horrid game

[iron totem]

Not my kind of game

[trim tartan]

This is called an addiction.

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

You can't recommend it at all, but can't stop playing.

[edgy scroll]

everyone I know who had gotten really deep into LoL seemed much more satisfied and relaxed after they uninstalled it, that's all I'm going to say

[iron totem]

What's so bad about it?

[unkempt yew]

From matchmaking to toxicity of any players

[iron totem]

I see

On another note, I'm surprised why rain world's community isn't very elitist or toxic

[edgy scroll]

sometimes we are... but it could be much worse

[iron totem]

This seems like the perfect game for those "get good, scrub" people

Like dark souls for instance

[unkempt yew]

I like rain world, it's kinda comforting to have a game that isn't scripted

[iron totem]

I like the silly creatures

https://tenor.com/view/rain-world-blue-lizard-honestly-quite-incredible-gif-24009774

[edgy scroll]

I think the rather firm staff and policies in this server keep the worst of it out... but it's also just not that kind of game, for the most part... I think it comes down to the lack of a competitive multiplayer scene beyond hopping in arena with your buds

I appreciate it, for sure, whatever the cause. I don't play multiplayer games most of the time for such reasons.

[unkempt yew]

CotL taught me to manage stuff

Get bent, my followers. Grass for everyone

[iron totem]

The only multiplayer game I play is TF2

Sometimes

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

I'm not good at it

Oh and guilty gear strive

[unkempt yew]

Guilty Gear

[iron totem]

Happy Chaos main :3

[trim tartan]

There's no such thing as being "perfect".

That one offscreen blue lizard will still jump you.

[unkempt yew]

But I played in my emulator

[trim tartan]

Scavengers can still absolutely slaughter you in packs.

[unkempt yew]

Phone emulator

[trim tartan]

A vulture could swoop down at an unlucky time.

[meager moat]

This game attracts furries, and furries are generally very kind to newcomers

[trim tartan]

There is no such thing as "having full control".

[knotty sierra]

The niche this game occupies doesn't lend very well to the git gud crowd, especially when rng can sometimes be godawful.
Only time I've seen skill issue stuff was when someone spoke about people complaining about Artificer's campaign and scavs.

[iron totem]

Nine sols is sekiro for furries :p

[trim tartan]

Which is something elitists despise. They want control.

Rain World does not lend you that freedom.

[unkempt yew]

I find artificer a good campaign

I got nothin to lose

[trim tartan]

I'm not even done with my first.

I swear, I'm trying!

[edgy scroll]

man, I don't wanna side with the git gud crowd, but some people did whine way too much about artificer's campaign

[iron totem]

Scav combat isn't for everyone, you gotta pipe camp and be patient and it's understandable if you don't like it

[unkempt yew]

👀

[unkempt yew]

It's kinda funny that I played with 185 rounds

[iron totem]

Niceee

[meager moat]

I have trained for hours fighting groups of scavengers and the reaction time some of those guys have, specially Elites, can easily outdo a human's by a LOT

[iron totem]

Which is why the safe strat is to cheese them

[unkempt yew]

Elites are damn annoying with their quick scope

[iron totem]

Use bombs, high ground and pipe camping

[edgy scroll]

I feel like people don't use the concussive blast enough

[unkempt yew]

But getting close quarters is a good one

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

It's super good.

[trim tartan]

I feel like Arti does canonically die multiple times.

[iron totem]

Very good for speedrunning

[trim tartan]

They just are brought back, as they have unfinished business.

Because there's no way that Arti doesn't die at least once.

[meager moat]

I've done that a few times, so far, it requires a bit of extra thought to realize that this is a good spot to do it, and in that time, a scav can just stab ya

[edgy scroll]

nah just spam it whenever you're in a tight spot

[iron totem]

I use it for the stun

[edgy scroll]

you get like 3-4 uses before it knocks you out

[iron totem]

You may use it twice without getting stunned yourself

[edgy scroll]

is it really only twice?

[unkempt yew]

Yes

In my opinion

I may have use the double jump a bit much

[meager moat]

For how long I've trained for killing scavengers, I am yet to really get that far in my arti run

[unkempt yew]

But playing other characters, I kinda avoid scavs unless I feel threatened

[night lily]

I'd say you don't even need to use Concussive blast that much, the mobility alone almost makes you untouchable

[trim tartan]

The reason Arti is so busted because the Scavengers are, too.

[night lily]

If you don't stay to fight it's very hard to die

[iron totem]

Yeah, the third brings them to 6 exhaustion which stuns and make you drop items

[edgy scroll]

the thing about arti that I think is important to remember is that it's not like DOOM, it's more like Metal Gear or something- stealth and ambushes are super important

[iron totem]

https://rainworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Artificer

[unkempt yew]

Man, fk stealth

I stand for doomcat

[trim tartan]

I feel like Weiss could probably have more than one health for this very reason.

DOOMcat.

[night lily]

Extra true with how you can just use a grenade pointblank if all else fails

[edgy scroll]

if you wanna play DOOM, unlock arti's powers and riv's speed and put that on a gourm expedition... that's the power fantasy, right there

[iron totem]

Play pearlcat

You're god when you get enough pearls

[trim tartan]

She may not have explosions. She may not have fancy abilities. But she has the power of sheer fucking statistics.

At "full desperation", 3 spear damage every time.

[unkempt yew]

Is it okay to have a scug that has a vulture mask that stick to his face, a vulture cloak to negate spear damage and a spear that could pierce lizard skull and deal twice than a normal spear?

[trim tartan]

No exhaustion mechanic.

Faster than Rivulet.

[unkempt yew]

👀 much faster than the wet mouse?

[trim tartan]

The ability to maul.

[plucky zenith]

Local scug too angry to die

[iron totem]

Not really

[trim tartan]

Maybe only as fast as the wet mouse.

[iron totem]

Rivulet is faster, they have some insane movement

[trim tartan]

I'm talking about my Slugcat OC, though.

Not Arti.

[meager moat]

spoink

[iron totem]

Oh, I'm silly

Sorry

[trim tartan]

3 spear damage, 2 maul damage, and speed equaling Rivulet's.

most of the time when I play RW these days, I just play Survivor. I like being

[trim tartan]

The tradeoff? You need all of Gourmand's pips for food at that point, and it drains one pip per minute.

[unkempt yew]

👀

[unkempt yew]

That's balance actually

[iron totem]

Survivor is cool! I prefer monk since creatures are less aggressive meaning less rng

[trim tartan]

Base game slugcat supremacy.

[iron totem]

I either play monk, hunter, or arti

[meager moat]

Then you load up arena mode and become a god

[unkempt yew]

Since Apex won the rainy games, I'm gonna say the full detail of their abilities

[iron totem]

Been playing a lot of hunter recently since I'm speedrunning the hunter pilgrimage category

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

Yes, you can eat meat. Yes, it only gives half the food pips as Hunter, because you're one hungry gal.

[edgy scroll]

I love the rng...

[trim tartan]

Yes, Weiss is canonically a she, although I'm not sure that matters.

[iron totem]

Try speedrunning!

If you like gambling it's probably right up your alley

[edgy scroll]

I'm not enough of a gamer for that... still haven't even beaten challenge 70

[unkempt yew]

I don't gamble anymore

[trim tartan]

Challenge 70 is not easy.

[unkempt yew]

I hate challenge 70

[iron totem]

Me too
You don't need to be super good to speedrun

What matters is beating your own times and see how fast you can play

[trim tartan]

If you liked trying Challenge 70, a certain secret boss from ULTRAKILL might change your mind about dying over and over.

[iron totem]

I'll likely never beat challenge 70

[unkempt yew]

Which secret boss? 👀

[edgy scroll]

I will, someday. It's like the only thing I haven't done (aside from unlocking the rainbow slugcat in expedition mode and Inv), and I don't like leaving things almost done.

Here's a guide to speedrunning if you're interested

I recommend starting with monk pebbles%

Not a gamer you say? You're pretty good if you managed to collect nearly all achievements

wellll, I know some other people in this channel have also said they aren't gamers, and they have beanten challenge 70, so ergo, I am also not a gamer
