[meager moat]

no wait

that just freezes him i think

[open matrix]

im startign to believe the guy is a part of the sleep police

well, if i cant really continue.... might as well

[unkempt yew]

Yes, inform Cap for that one

[night lily]

Regarding the shulker, yeah that was supposed to eventually happen it's a farm that needs to be refilled after a while (which is why there's leftover ones in the nether, thankfully there's no need to go back to the end city)

[trim tartan]

I'm pretty sure it isn't intentional, just inevitable.

So, farm creator just went "might as well make it easier".

Can shulkers despawn?

If they can, Epochs, I have bad news.

There's none I can see in the nether.

[limpid ore]

i have a question for people that play games on steam

if i uninstall a game, will my game data vanish? like if i redownloaded a game after uninstalling it, would my shit still be there?

i am dumb and worry abt space on my puter

[trim tartan]

I don't know? I think it depends on the game?

[limpid ore]

i need space but am afraid of uninstalling these yakuza games

[unkempt yew]

We eatin good foodchat

[trim tartan]

What's that on the left?

[limpid ore]

it looks fried

[unkempt yew]

You won't believe it

...

Fish

[limpid ore]

someone should send the sound clip

[unkempt yew]

Well it's small fish that is been mixed with egg and flour

Idk what's the English of it but we called them "torta"

[limpid ore]

mm yommy fried food

[unkempt yew]

[sonic remnant]

Assuming they don't store it seperately(as in they do account sign in separate from steam), it all gets wiped(know from experience I do)

[limpid ore]

[sonic remnant]

You could probably find a way to upload it to the cloud or smth

[night lily]

Shouldn't they be unable to despawn? iirc they're one of the mobs that has different rulesets (so that's why they're used to 'switch-off' spawning for other mobs since they count against the limit)

[night lily]

Depends on the game and you have to enable synching

[trim tartan]

That’s what I thought.

[sonic remnant]

Shulkers also teleport right? Maybe that could be why they didnt see any?

[trim tartan]

But log in.

[night lily]

The platform should be far enough from any valid teleportation spot tho

[trim tartan]

They’re just not there.

[sonic remnant]

Can I see an image of it?

[night lily]

...i have a feeling since i didn't place a sign stating the reason for the backup spot, someone might have killed them

[night lily]

Can't access the server right now but i cover any full surface with buttons and lower slabs

[sonic remnant]

Maybe you missed one lol

Also hope stuff works out for yall

[trim tartan]

Should the farm be working as intended, you’d need to miss 4 spots.

[trim tartan]

Thanks.

[trim tartan]

Working?

[night lily]

Well, at least even if we need a new one from the End, the infrastructures (rails) are still there i guess

[night lily]

Yeah

[trim tartan]

I've gotten a shulker into the Overworld.

Put it in the farm.

Epochs, that's a command, not a statement.

I haven't actually done that. Not sure how to.

[night lily]

Oh, sure, will get to that eventually

[trim tartan]

Why is it that the best-sounding pieces are consistently the hardest ones?

Sure, there's Satie's Gymnopédie, but things like that are pretty rare.

As a person who's pretty obsessed with piano-heavy music, Ondine is probably my favorite piece.

It's hard.

Very hard.

Sure, it's probably much easier once you've built the muscle memory for it, but look at this - https://youtu.be/T_-1qMPDf-A - and tell me that this doesn't look difficult.

[iron totem]

Eh, not really. There are some simple piano pieces that sound absolutely wonderful

Some etudes just sound horrendous

Do you have any favorites?

[trim tartan]

Favorite piece would be Ondine.

[iron totem]

:O

I actually haven't heard this before.

My favorites gotta be gymnopedia, la campanella, Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C sharp minor.

[trim tartan]

Gymnopédie is pretty good!

[iron totem]

It is!

[trim tartan]

La Campanella is... I don't know how exactly I feel about it.

It's certainly overplayed if you're around young piano players who love to flex.

[iron totem]

It sounds unique

[trim tartan]

Then there's Prelude in C# Minor.

[iron totem]

Eh, not me. I just play it as a hobby

The piano I mean

[trim tartan]

The thought of playing La Campanella as a hobby scared me.

Sure, world-class pianists probably could, but those are a different breed.

[iron totem]

Hungarian rhapsody no 2 is the flex song for me
That one is super difficult, I'll probably never be able to play it.

[iron totem]

Do you play the piano by the way?

[trim tartan]

Liszt starts simple, often, then the really hard part starts, and then it doesn't end.

[iron totem]

Liebestraum no. 3 is lovely

(Sorry Germans if I misspelled it)

[trim tartan]

Soulwing will tell you if you did.

[iron totem]

Liszt has some really pretty music

[trim tartan]

Liszt is pretty, though I do prefer Ravel.

[iron totem]

I haven't listened much to ravel, any recommendations?

[trim tartan]

I've actually only really listened to Gaspard de la Nuit, and another thing.

I can't remember that other thing.

As of now, I listen to much more jazz than impressionist music, but both are great.

[iron totem]

Neat! I listen to basically every genre of music

[trim tartan]

Liszt was an absolute beast at playing, though. I can't argue with that.

[iron totem]

Anything you've been listening to lately?

Jazz I mean

[trim tartan]

Spain.

Yohan Kim's version.

Even though there's Chick Corea - whose version is reportedly better, as he did make it, I do love piano-heavy pieces.

[trim tartan]

Also, weird question, what's the nicest-sounding piece you can play?

[iron totem]

Thank for the recommendation, this certainly is a vibe

[trim tartan]

According to you, at least.

[iron totem]

I have a special place in my heart for moonlight sonata first movement

[trim tartan]

It genuinely is. Yohan Kim has pretty great interpretations.

[trim tartan]

I'm jealous. /lh

[iron totem]

I played it at a local concert thingy

[trim tartan]

That's nice!

What was performing like?

[iron totem]

Scary

[trim tartan]

Understandably so.

[iron totem]

Stage fright is terrifying, better when you're with a group

[trim tartan]

After a few times with a group, you do get used to it.

But alone?

I don't think you ever could, unless you play professionally.

[iron totem]

Moonlight sonata 3rd movement is pretty as well

[trim tartan]

In which case, you'd probably be able to-

[trim tartan]

I'm really fucking jealous right now. /hj

[limpid ore]

piano chat fr

[trim tartan]

Indeed.

[trim tartan]

So, the arrangement is T13 on Alto Sax, you on the keys, probably Drymm on a keyboard, and Frosmoth on the guitar.

[night lily]

This reinforces my belief that stories chat is actually filled with a lot of talented people

[iron totem]

I'm not talented, I'm mediocre

[limpid ore]

i could play a very simple version of au clair de la lune on guitar

[iron totem]

:O

[trim tartan]

"Mediocre".

I don't trust that.

As a casual player, M. Sonata 3 is pretty good.

[limpid ore]

i cant rember other songs off the top of my head. i dont own a guitar but i still have the sheet music.

[iron totem]

You play the guitar :O

[trim tartan]

Yes.

Yes she does.

How about we play 20 questions?

[limpid ore]

i havent played since eighth grade

[night lily]

To be able to play music already requires skills and lots of hard work! To me at least that's great enough.

[trim tartan]

Epochs' instrument is...

[limpid ore]

a recorder

[night lily]

Clapping

[iron totem]

The pencil, he's a great writer!

Do you play any instrument, epochs?

[limpid ore]

words is music for my eyeballs

[trim tartan]

I hate the recorder, but it's better than the melodica.

I hate the sound of the melodica.

Hate is a strong word, but I have strong feelings towards it.

[limpid ore]

i can currently play the mission impossible theme on recorder

[night lily]

Used to practice keyboard a long, long time ago

[iron totem]

The melodica sounds funny

[trim tartan]

And I hate it.

[iron totem]

Kazoo is the coolest/silliest instrument, though.

[night lily]

Thank you!
-# gotta admit tho that I don't feel like one a lot of time

[limpid ore]

i really want and otamatone

[trim tartan]

If you count the Otamatone, that's probably the silliest instrument.

[iron totem]

Know that I enjoy your writing at least!

[trim tartan]

Here's the thing. The melodica sounds silly, but it doesn't look silly.

[iron totem]

Bagpipes are awesome

[trim tartan]

That's pretty bad for me.

[limpid ore]

the otamatone looks and sounds silly, therefore it is musical genius

[trim tartan]

This looks pretty normal.

But sounds absolutely silly.

[limpid ore]

i know there's a kirby one at least

[trim tartan]

The otamatone both looks and sounds silly. That makes it good.

Sets the right expectations.

The melodica does not.

[limpid ore]

behold

[trim tartan]

Exactly!

[limpid ore]

i wonder if theres a miku one

[trim tartan]

You'd expect this to sound silly.

And it does.

[iron totem]

How does it sound like?

[trim tartan]

Miku?

[iron totem]

I've never heard about nor seen this instrument

[limpid ore]

OMG

[trim tartan]

Behold - https://youtu.be/cC5ZJ8Y4OuQ - this thing.

Yes, this song.

[limpid ore]

hatsune miku otamatone

[iron totem]

Careless whisper is a vibe

:O
Sounds kinda good actually

[limpid ore]

otamatone is the wawa instrument

[trim tartan]

And very silly.

[limpid ore]

sully g does a lot of otamatone covers

i think thats the channel?

therealsullyg

there's also a lot of meme covers that feel like pure shitposts

[iron totem]

Rick roll?

[limpid ore]

prolly

[iron totem]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHMjD0Lp5DY

[limpid ore]

like it goes from "here's a neat cover" to "hehe memes"

[unkempt yew]

You guys know instruments?

[open matrix]

ehhhhhh, whoops

i swear i was trying to help

i just didnt know how

[night lily]

It should be up now, just changed something

[night lily]

dw

[open matrix]

i will help on the second trip as well, time to play the meat shield once again

[night lily]

Ah, Celestium probably has already secured one (at spawn)

[open matrix]

nice

also, your smelter ate my deepslate and wont spit it out again

okay, no, i take it back. I definetly did not enter the employ only area and unclocked all the ovens

turns out you cant smelt deepslate, whoops

[night lily]

Something must have clogged the furnaces/hopper chains possibly?

Oh

[open matrix]

yep, my deepslate

[night lily]

[open matrix]

hope i didnt broke anything, i was very careful to not touch anything besides the ovens

and now everything works, so i think its fine

now time to sponser team craddle

[fringe anchor]

Oh I suppose we could excavate the trial chamber for all that copper

[open matrix]

meh, too much work

i perefer picking up copper on the way

and the way to find a city was long, so now i have a lot of copper

[fringe anchor]

Like, ancient city?

[open matrix]

yep

turns out there is one right beneath waves, have fun sleeping tonight

[fringe anchor]

Ah, looting or Warden shenanigans or sth else?

[fringe anchor]

Uhh, I shall claim it /j

[open matrix]

i would cry

[fringe anchor]

I'll claim a small, barely noticeable fee of 1 shulker box per 5 minutes of being close to the city /j

[open matrix]

the only reason im even down there is for swift sneek and the template for celestium, you can have everythng else for all i care
i hate every second i spend in that city

[night lily]

-# are you sure about that? shulker market value might drop soon

[fringe anchor]

Shulkers are shulkers, and i'll be glad to get some /lh

[open matrix]

did i still not give you any?

yikes, i thouhgt i did, you get some the next time i see ya

[iron totem]

Start a warden farm

Or lure an army of wardens to the surface and terrorize the lands >:3

[fringe anchor]

[open matrix]

omg

i should mute discord

sneeking in the deep dark, only to be jumpscared by a notification is embarrassing

[fringe anchor]

What happened

Oh

[open matrix]

and that right next to one of those snensors

[fringe anchor]

This horror region is so immersive

[open matrix]

its actually terrifying how immersive it can be

like, i thouhgt you could just be fully maxed out and all, no probs, but just one sound and your toast

so you cant even place torches, its horrifying TT

i love when this happens

[night lily]

Reminder that night vision potion is relatively very cheap

[open matrix]

now you too, my poor heart

also, again, i never brewed a potion in my live before

i suck with that

[night lily]

The practical ones are very simple

The base potion for everything else is water + nether wart

Then that

• golden carrot = night vision
• gilded melon = healing
• ghast tear = regen
  +Magma cream = fire resist

[open matrix]

@trim tartan oh god

everything is dark

he spawned

im not sure where i am

[trim tartan]

Why can't I open chests now?

Epochs, have time for Ancient City hunting?

[night lily]

I'm still and will be unavailable for quite a while yet.

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

Was following you.

Should despawn in a minute or two.

[open matrix]

nah, i have to wait

that thing is on my back TT

and im blind

and out of wool

[open matrix]

mind telling me when

also you got anything good this time?

[trim tartan]

It's gone.

[open matrix]

eyyyy

[trim tartan]

I'm sorry.

Need more wool.

[open matrix]

pfff

and im stuck on a pillar with none

and an angry warden at my feet

lovely

[trim tartan]

Don't enter before I tell you to.

[open matrix]

fun /j

[trim tartan]

Gone.

Get back in.

[open matrix]

yippy

[trim tartan]

Oh dear.

What did that this time?

[open matrix]

i love this game

i just broke the chest, i was impatient

[trim tartan]

I was down there.

I can't get back up.

[open matrix]

OH

ehhh

[trim tartan]

Congratulations, we're stuck here unless I want to die.

[open matrix]

i thought you were up

[trim tartan]

Actually? Death is a mere inconvenience.

[open matrix]

just a cycle

[trim tartan]

We set our spawn up there.

[open matrix]

i didnt...

[trim tartan]

Well, I did.

Wait.

Just wait a bit longer.

Tell me when to get back in.

[open matrix]

you can get back

i will distract it

well...

[trim tartan]

I'm going to die, aren't I?

[open matrix]

how did it even get up there?!?!?

i can place water

at least when im no longer getting targeted

[trim tartan]

Have any blocks?

Distance yourself.

Best bet with Wardens is to distance yourself.

[open matrix]

that thing is right on me

and no blocks

i just spammed snowballs, quit, and now i hope it will be somewhere else

nope

did not work

got hit instead

how did the warden even get on top of the portel?

[trim tartan]

The staircase.

You built one, remember?

[open matrix]

ohhhh

but wasnt it on the othes side???

darn the ability to reapear everywhere

[trim tartan]

Warden pathfinding is something else.

[open matrix]

ive realized

[trim tartan]

Now, get back in.

[open matrix]

im scared

[trim tartan]

And don't fuck up again.

[open matrix]

and almost dead

[trim tartan]

Both have despawned.

[open matrix]

you sure?

[trim tartan]

I am in the server.

[open matrix]

ohhhh

got it

[trim tartan]

I committed some cycling.

[open matrix]

nahhhh

what is this

where did it even spawn?

[trim tartan]

I don't know.

My stuff is somewhere.

[open matrix]

can i enter again?

[trim tartan]

Get back in, it's gone.

I'm building a Warden switch if we ever want to do this again.

I'm pretty sure this has been enough experience.

[open matrix]

i think its gone? the heat beat stopped

tho i havent seen it

i just actually fell into lava

my brain is melted

[sonic remnant]

OOOTAAAMAPHHOOOOONEEEE

Hello

[sudden jackal]

How ya doin

[fringe anchor]

Fine, you?

[sudden jackal]

Meh

[sudden jackal]

Had 2 projects and 3 quizzes due the same day.

So haven't had time for much. Hasn't been fun.

[fringe anchor]

Ouch

[sudden jackal]

Failed my math test also

[lime ingot]

I am on a jazz concert and it is absolutely amazing I will tell more tomorrow because my phone is about to die

OK I was able to get some battery charge from air so I have a few seconds to ramble

The drums are amazing bass too

[lament blade]

So I had the most terrifying time in Moon's can earlier. Not the Struts or Vents, in her Neural Terminus.

So I'm making my way to Sky Islands (Shaded, here I come again) and I have to go down Luna and back inside to loop around right?

The Orange Lizards followed me inside and were chasing me. I go into a shelter, sleep, and wake up with three feral oranges ready to gnaw my face off

AREN'T YOU STINKERS SUPPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE? WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME INTO THE MICRO GRAVITY CHAOS?

[unkempt yew]

Man, rewatching 9

[night lily]

[unkempt yew]

Also, look at this lil guy

He’s so tiny

[night lily]

wait, that actually gave me an idea...

[lime ingot]

OK I woke up my phone is charged time to ramble about that jazz concert I was on yesterday. The concert was the first of the tour for 25th anniversary of the Moscow Jazz Orchestra. The music, both the ones they made themselves and the popular jazz songs they played, was absolutely amazing, the drums were really good really brought alot of energy to the music, the bass and piano set the mood of the songs really well and the trombones, saxophones and trumpets were tied everything together into a unforgettable experience. There were singers really good ones at that though I mainly focused on the drums.

Also one of the songs they played was "Here Comes the Sun" which I found quite comedic

[unkempt yew]

You’re looting another one already?

Let me build the switch first. Goodness.

but there is no fun in that

[trim tartan]

If your goal is fun, very well.

[night lily]

City 👀 finally!

[open matrix]

after my fitht mountain

[night lily]

Pls record the coord for ...reasons somewhere that's just empty without anything missable

[open matrix]

the cords for the city?

we do have two so far

[night lily]

Yeah

[open matrix]

one is right next to waves

might be closer

tho to be fair, that city is a mess

generating had a few issues, that one is better

any prefrences for a city?

[night lily]

Well, not really, but it'd be nice to have somewhere mob wont spawn just in case

(iirc mobs wont spawn inside deepdark right?)

[trim tartan]

Correct.

[open matrix]

i should have also removed all shriekers so it should be save

[feral spade]

It depends on the game. If you've got another computer, you can download the game on there to see if your save's stored on the cloud. If it is, you should have the save on that computer, too. If not, then it's probably saved locally.
You could also look through the files. If it's got save files, you could copy those files and keep them saved elsewhere, so that you can just put them back in the game files when you reinstall the game.

KITTIES

[winged coral]

CHAT

i wanna write a story about a coyote

but have no idea what to write

gimme ideas please

ping me btw

if i get off i'll see it in the morning

[unkempt yew]

👀

Anthro fic?

[unkempt yew]

I may gonna answer on the next hour, is it anthro or maybe fable like?

[winged coral]

its xenofiction

basically they are just actual animals, but amybe personified or with their own religion

think warrior cats

[unkempt yew]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I need to research more about coyotes

brb

disappears into college

[unkempt yew]

Back again

Lemme do some quick research

[unkempt yew]

How about a lone coyote who still believed in a trickster god, still following the deeds and spread mischief everytime they encountered either predator or prey?

[winged coral]

that is amazing!!! tysm for the idea :3

[unkempt yew]

[buoyant pike]

crowd and coyotes have a symbiotic relationship

maybe base something off of that?

[unkempt yew]

👀 just like how ravens and wolf?

[buoyant pike]

they'll follow each other for food sources and such

[winged coral]

i already have badgers and coyotes

but it could work

[buoyant pike]

when i write xenofiction i like to focus on the relationships between different animal species

how they help (or hurt) each other

there is a really good video essay about this, do you want me to dm it to you?

[unkempt yew]

I am writing an anthro fic about a wolf in sheep's clothing

[winged coral]

wait is it by the cardinal dude?

i forgot the channel name

[buoyant pike]

yeah cardinal west

i plan on writing xenofiction about seals one day

[unkempt yew]

[winged coral]

@long mauve

[buoyant pike]

the frame work i have in mind is about a leopard seal and a fur seal

since i think a story about predator and prey begrudgingly teaming up to survive a changing world is interesting

[winged coral]

that would be cool

maybe i could make it so the coyote is being hunted due to its belief in trickster gods and constantly harrassing animals, therefore i tries to team up with animals that have a more nuetral reputation towards coyotes like badgers and crows

and the main threat would be humans

[buoyant pike]

oooh

so you're taking an approach of mysticism?

[winged coral]

i would like to

i really like the warriors books

well

atleast the first 4

i havent read past that yet

[buoyant pike]

that makes sense

i'm not sure if id take a spiritual approach to my story or not

[winged coral]

maybe inspired by inuit myths?

if you do

[unkempt yew]

[buoyant pike]

i know for a fact it'll be somehwat based in climate change and how animals would struggle to adapt to it

more specifically something post apocalyptic

it won't have much of a human focus due to the fact that seals can't travel very far on land

at most they'd see abandoned boats, oil rigs and harbors

[unkempt yew]

I mean, the ice becomes more thinner and thinner by the day

[buoyant pike]

yup

[unkempt yew]

Not safe from orcas and sharks

I remembered that my wolf in sheep's clothing fic that I have a civilization of dogs that believed of a super-being named "Man"

[buoyant pike]

yuppp

[unkempt yew]

And they are a zealous group if I must say

[limpid ore]

unrelated but i had a dream abt a pokemon story to include my anthro persona in

[winged coral]

retreating back to genderal

[unkempt yew]

👀

[trim tartan]

Wait!

[buoyant pike]

fare thee well

[winged coral]

?

[trim tartan]

Before you do, have you listened to The Crane Wives?

[winged coral]

have i? listening to take me to war rn

[limpid ore]

[trim tartan]

I see.

Good.

[winged coral]

i listen too their songs all the time

they are my favorite band

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

That’s where the idea of a coyote story came from.

[winged coral]

no, i just wanted to write a xenofiction with a really common and hated animal

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

One of their albums is called “Coyote Stories”, right?

[winged coral]

i think so

ngl im primarily inspired by fantastic mr.fox's general vibe

[trim tartan]

I’m a fan, too. Unraveling is my favorite song from them.

[winged coral]

anywho

[unkempt yew]

[trim tartan]

Really simple, but I love it to bits.

[winged coral]

slithers away

[trim tartan]

I bid thee farewell.

[meager moat]

what is a "xenofiction"?

[unkempt yew]

[unkempt yew]

Idk, maybe like warriors?

[limpid ore]

a frosmoth on the run for a crime she didnt commit and learning abt her connection to Abilities and Moves- things that were lost to time as pokemon adapted and grew- as she searched for the person that framed her and why they did it

[unkempt yew]

👀

[limpid ore]

im still thinking abt it

[unkempt yew]

I'm still hang on my bl fic

It's hard to think now that I kinda forgor what to put next

[long mauve]

interesting

can i hear about it

[simple mango]

im gonna head to sleep now

gn

[buoyant pike]

yes :) but i dont have much

my working title for it is called world of silence and it focuses on animals surviving in the wake of a nuclear winter that ended up wiping out humanity

and the main characters are seals because they don't have a lot of focus on xenofiction

the only seal character i know is from fire bringer

[long mauve]

omg

i love it

it needs a ringed or leopard seal

[lethal kindle]

I’ve read exactly one work about seals. A short story written by Rudyard Kipling.

[buoyant pike]

a leopard seal is gonna be one of the main characters!! they're my favorite animal

[winged coral]

any work in which a pov character is not human

lord of the rings
wings of fire
warrior cats
watership down
all those kinds of books

those are all the ones i can name off the top of my head

[meager moat]

so pretty much every fanfic here lol

[winged coral]

yeah lol

i was specifically talking animal xenofiction

the subgenre of mythic

so a mythic animal xenofiction

meaning that the animals in question have their own religious views

not that the animals ARE mythical

[long mauve]

I NEED AN ITERATOR

[unkempt yew]

Update: 4 pm saved my life

[trim tartan]

No.

That would cause rainfall able to crush your home, everyone you love, and everything in-between.

In short, you don’t.

[unkempt yew]

My house had survived many rains and typhoons, bet

/j

[trim tartan]

Did that “/j” too late. Eat bullet rain.

[edgy scroll]

To be fair, while Iterator rain is deadly for a slugcat, it doesn't seem to actually do much structural damage at all, at least in the short term, even to fairly frail stuff. I think many houses could withstand at least a couple cycles of Iterator downpour

[fringe anchor]

Or it could be cause that stuff is self-repairing

[edgy scroll]

well, it wouldn't matter if it was self-repairing if the rain could destroy it outright in one or two cycles of rain, would it?

[wind bloom]

Self-repairing implies living

Living implies it cannot truly die due to the Cycle

[trim tartan]

Shelters repair themselves after a single cycle.

Consider how fast they repair.

Besides, sci-fi materials.

[edgy scroll]

Moon calls the spears rebar, I think most of it is just rusty steel

[trim tartan]

Steel that can repair itself.

Through “biotechnology”.

[trim tartan]

Also, it doesn’t all have to be steel.

[edgy scroll]

Then it's still mostly weak enough to be punctured by said steel when thrown by a

and if the self-repair was so fast that it would undo all damage caused by the rain as it was raining, then there would be no structural decay at all, and thing wouldn't be come more decayed as the timeline passed

[trim tartan]

We actually don’t know how long a Cycle is.

Could be a month, for all we know.

[edgy scroll]

while it's true that we don't the exact timeframe... a month seems far-fetched to me

that would mean that a slugcat could go two months without food before they starved to death

or wait, no... only one

because you can't shelter while starving

but still, a month seems like a very long time

[trim tartan]

It seems very long, until you think about it.

If Slugcats hibernate, then they might as well last an eternity before dying of hunger.

Consider - you never actually waste hunger as any slugcat except Arti and Gourmand while running around and doing whatever it is Slugcats do.

[edgy scroll]

you know that animals that hibernate don't actually sleep for months straight and not eat that whole time, right?

they still have to go out and get food sometimes, they're just less active

[trim tartan]

Purposed organism bullshittery!

Maybe they’re like Anacondas?

Those only eat about 4 to 5 times a year.

[edgy scroll]

okay, okay, can't argue with the 'it's scifi' magic wand... but the point I was trying to make is that our homes can, in fact, take a couple cycles worth of iterator rain and still be standing. And if over the course of a month, no structures in the rain world are leveled (not even plants), then I think the typical home that can survive a seasonal monsoon can take an iterator.

It doesn't even knock down scav structures!

[trim tartan]

They built those back up, maybe?

[edgy scroll]

every cycle they draw lots to see who has to put the skull back up on the toll

[trim tartan]

I need a crackfic based on this. Now.

[edgy scroll]

maybe someday

I'm just sayin though... I think I could live under an iterator

doesn't seem that bad

[trim tartan]

Shaded says nay.

[edgy scroll]

I'll just bring a flashlight

[trim tartan]

I don’t think a human could live in the memory crypts.

[edgy scroll]

okay, no, memory crypts is pretty bad

[trim tartan]

Scavs would steal it from you.

Give you, I don’t know, a spear for it.

[edgy scroll]

This is making me want to write my own version of the 'human explorers in rain world' idea

[trim tartan]

Bring a gun? What a patriotic thing to do.

[edgy scroll]

It would be in-character for my homeland 🦅

[trim tartan]

“Just as the Founding Fathers intended.”

And then there’s the coalescipedes.

Those would probably not die to a gun.

[edgy scroll]

sure they would

you can kill them with spears, after all

the individual parts

[trim tartan]

Would take too many shots to, just… flashbang them.

[edgy scroll]

shotgun

[trim tartan]

-# Why did I not expect the most American answer from you? /s /j

[trim tartan]

And then, Miros.

I don’t want to see those things. Bring the .50 cals.

[edgy scroll]

answer there is don't go to the crypts

large, aggressive, flightless birds have historically outperformed firearms

[trim tartan]

This does make sense, though.

[trim tartan]

Better firearms, perhaps? /j

[edgy scroll]

so true

Now I'm thinking, if I had to build a home in one rain world region, which would it be

[trim tartan]

Top of The Wall.

[edgy scroll]

as much as I argued that Iterator rain ain't that bad, I am gravitating towards places that don't have it

[trim tartan]

Because, let’s face it, nobody here has the speed to build a home anywhere with rain in 10 minutes.

[edgy scroll]

I couldn't. Too afraid of heights.

[trim tartan]

Zero gravity would be horrible for you, so the insides of Pebbles isn’t the most viable.

[edgy scroll]

I just wouldn't want there for the rot

[trim tartan]

Anywhere with rain is equally horrible.

[edgy scroll]

Metro might not be too bad

[trim tartan]

Thus speaking, right outside the access shaft would not be too bar for me.

[trim tartan]

Oh, and Metro.

There’s the Scavs, and very little food aside from them.

[edgy scroll]

Makes sense that the place where the people lived is where it would be best for people to live

[trim tartan]

What does neuron fly taste like?

[edgy scroll]

actually, metro is pretty bustling, ecologically speaking

[edgy scroll]

I'm imagining it's a bit like calamari

[trim tartan]

Interesting!

Still, just remembered, there are threats there.

[edgy scroll]

I can't think of place that doesn't have threats, though

[trim tartan]

The Scavs, for one, and probably some lizards for another.

[trim tartan]

That bit atop the Wall has no threats.

Actually, no, outside the access shaft.

[edgy scroll]

sure, that place is fine, until you eat all the grain off the few popcorn plants there

then you have to face some kind of danger, or try to convince pebbles to be chill with you living off his neurons

and if it's between pebbles or the scavs in metro, I know who's more likely to let me stick around

[trim tartan]

He can’t do shit.

He can’t do shit to me.

He’s powerless if I don’t enter his chamber.

Oh. Wait.

[edgy scroll]

[trim tartan]

There’s no neuron flies aside from that, is there?

[edgy scroll]

yeah

[trim tartan]

They seem filling… enough.

[open matrix]

just eat gravel

[edgy scroll]

you have to deal with pebbles if you want his delicious brain cells

[edgy scroll]

so real

[open matrix]

also cy, did you even sleep?

[trim tartan]

For legal reasons, do not try.

I… haven’t thought of that, actually.

[trim tartan]

Have you slept?

[edgy scroll]

no... I'm back to a nighttime schedule this weekend

[open matrix]

fair

[edgy scroll]

I didn't wake up till well past noon

I wonder if OE would be a good place to live...

[open matrix]

depends on the time line

[trim tartan]

And I’m not sure how, but I think my answer isn’t the same as yours.

[open matrix]

if you wanna deal with two reds...

[edgy scroll]

nah, that's SU (Outskirts), which wouldn

t be too bad

but I was talking about Outer Expanse

[open matrix]

journeys end seems to be an obvious answer

[edgy scroll]

until the slugcats attack you because they're hungry

[trim tartan]

Humid, sticky air? Hell no.

[open matrix]

...true, i hate that

[edgy scroll]

hate to say it, but I think most of RW is pretty humid

[open matrix]

in that case, i like the cold, moons city

[edgy scroll]

maybe the top of pebbles isn't toooo bad

[open matrix]

a few birds, sure... but i will live

[open matrix]

probably one of the safests part in the game

[edgy scroll]

'well, if the miros bird uses its death laser eye it might give me some trouble,
but nah, I'd win'
-karessra

[open matrix]

sounds like me

also i have to bounce, i originally just wanted to ask if you slept, but im gonna be late to work now

byebyeeee

[edgy scroll]

have a good one!

[open matrix]

i wont.

[edgy scroll]

[trim tartan]

Uneasy alliances with Scavkind would probably be the answer.

[edgy scroll]

I think I could even manage plain-old easy alliances with scavkind, myself

[iron totem]

Hi stories!

[edgy scroll]

ahoy

as a human, I think I'd have an easier time relating to, and probably being related to, with scavengers than I would with slugcats

scavs to me just seem to be smart monkeys... which is basically what I am too, at the end of the day

[iron totem]

They could easily tear you to pieces

Like chimps

To be fair scugs could too

[edgy scroll]

At the very least, they wouldn't tear me apart... they'd stab me with a spear, like a proper sapient being

[night lily]

does OE even have somewhere with solid ground? everything is too muddy or just straight up swamp-like

also there's unholy amount of worm grass

[edgy scroll]

And scavs have clear motivations. They want shinies and they want you to respect their territory. If you look in a scav's eyes, you can see fear, wonder, confusion.
You look into a scugs eyes, you get only the glossy reflection of yourself. They're as inscrutable as the slugcat's true motives.

[edgy scroll]

There are some solid spots. Mostly old brickwork structures, though.

But that big tree's gotta be growing from something, right?

The wormgrass is rough, though.

[iron totem]

How tall do you think a scug/scav is compared to a human?

[night lily]

iirc it's all swamp around the tree? there are a lot of small pools (and underwater wormgrass....)

[edgy scroll]

It's impossible to say with certainty, but for this thought experiment I've been picturing scugs as being about 2-3 feet tall, and scavs hunch down to around the same height, but would probably be more like 5 feet upright.

[iron totem]

If you're friendly with scavs, LC is probably the best place to live

Or maybe BA? A bit cold but there's enough food around.

[edgy scroll]

Doesn't Bitter Aerie have miros vultures?

also, what does LC stand for again?

[iron totem]

Not as surv

LC is lost city aka metropolis

Surv doesn't have snow in BA either

So not bad at all

[edgy scroll]

Dang, maybe I should try to get to BA as surv sometime. I've never done it.

[iron totem]

Easiest way is to pin teleport in

[edgy scroll]

Still, the lack of any vultures at all in OE makes it appealing to me

[night lily]

well, lets say with data pearls as reference (it shouldnt be too huge or heavy since slugcats/scavs could throw it in a pretty large arc)
maybe scugs ~ 100cm head to feet? not counting tail

[iron totem]

Grab a squid and pin it right next to the gate room entrance

[iron totem]

So roughly half a human, then

[edgy scroll]

see, I don't know that we can take throwing strength as a solid variable here, since both scavs and scugs can throw things really hard

but around 100cm or a little less does seem reasonable

[night lily]

true... but the arc+the speed the pearl takes to accerate under gravity looks pretty light... then again we dont know the G value

[edgy scroll]

hell, for all we know, pearls could be hollow

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

Still, if we make the assumption that the things we see in RW are around the same size as our versions of said things (cinderblocks, trains, stuff like that) slugcats are around half the height of humans

[unkempt yew]

I thought it would be the height of a human

[edgy scroll]

that would make most other things quite large compared to humans

[unkempt yew]

4'9 to 5'1 (in my opinion)

[edgy scroll]

which is reasonable, because, again, no solid comparison, but... like, a slugcat is only a bit taller then the wheel on the trains

so those are some big trains if slugcats are 5 foot

[unkempt yew]

I already thought that the ancients can be tall as a lamp post

[edgy scroll]

if this is the actual scaling, I don't ever wanna meet an ancient

[night lily]

i prefer scugs to be on the smaller size, because that'd mean vultures aren't as intimidating that way they give up pretty quick after being hurt and their jaws seem short enough that a human probably could fend it off with some kinda of weapon with some reach

KV is a different story tho

[edgy scroll]

15 foot tall bandaged up humanoid with a gleaming golden mask and all sorts of strange bioenhancements and tubes running through their bodies sounds like something I'd have nightmares about

[unkempt yew]

And the vultures, miros and the leviathans

[edgy scroll]

you could say similar things about, for instance, a bear, but I still wouldn't wanna fight one

[night lily]

The echoes would be very enormous too

[unkempt yew]

[iron totem]

I like big scug, very hugable

[edgy scroll]

small scug is still hugable

[night lily]

I mean a bear looks pretty sturdy, a vulture has an unreasonably thin neck that also sticks out

[iron totem]

And I like creatures being big and terrifying

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

"Look, you can take the spear and go at the predatory jet-bird all you like, I'm gonna stay hidden in this pipe!"

[night lily]

"how hard could this be—"

[edgy scroll]

but, as always, my favorite line of thinking with these questions of scale is... what if they're all really small, actually? Like what if a slugcat is actually like 20cm?

(a little under 8 inches)

[night lily]

If scugs are ~human height, the depths guardians would be like, equal to a 3 stories tall building

[edgy scroll]

I would cry and beg for my life

[night lily]

So a leviathan would be comparable in size to... A crocodile?

Still very scary yeah

[iron totem]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/923791102891393075/924442760575086592/KelpSwim.gif

[edgy scroll]

Sure, the leviathan would be... but you could just like, grab most things

[night lily]

I see something like a Rot core there...

[unkempt yew]

I heard a saltwater crocodile can reach to 30 feet long

[night lily]

KV's harpoons would probably still hurt a lot tho

[edgy scroll]

true... you'd want like a bee suit or something for them

and for miros

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

still, I think the rugged outdoorsy types could manage wrangling some of those critters

If the leviathan is roughly croc-sized, you could wrassle it just like you would a croc, after all

[unkempt yew]

If you can fight a very very heavy lizard

[edgy scroll]

"you jus gotta get on their back while their in the shallows, thas' all! Then you just take a good sturdy zip-tie and get it round that sucker's chompers, bing-bang-boom!"

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

by the way, was looking at the leviathan wiki and was reminded of this little tidbit:
"Leviathans, especially the albino one, share physical traits with Void Worms - a similarity which has been confirmed by the developers not to be a coincidence."

which... I don't really know what to make of that, tbh

[unkempt yew]

I mean, nearly a lookalike

[iron totem]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL7Zt_8DyAg

It's a dragonslayer creature

A joke mod that is bigger than msc

It will never release because they keep scope creeping it with sillies

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/756213459036930171/783754458588512276/DragonsWithLegsAndSword.gif

[edgy scroll]

looks lit

kinda like the rougelike cards mod where it's one of those "I want rain world but give me more silly action game feel"

[night lily]

Leviathans have mechanical heads and jaws in contrast to void worms... Could they be the result of the Ancients finding void worm larvas and messing around with it?

[trim tartan]

We have to play Poker sometime.

As in, all of us.

I have a gambling addiction and I know a decent amount of Texas Holdem hands.

[edgy scroll]

could be... it has occurred to me that void worms have a texture that is quite literally a picture of corn, and the seedcob/popcorn plant is the best source of food in the game... this might be me reading too deeply, but maybe void worms have some kind of theme around consumption?

[edgy scroll]

I would be down

I do have home-state advantage with Texas Hold-em, be warned

[trim tartan]

Ha! I’m familiar with chinese poker, but Hold-em looks fun.

[night lily]

~~Is Balatro counted as Poker experience ~~

[trim tartan]

I’d say Chinese poker is the more skill-based of the two, but there’s something about full luck that intrigues me.

[edgy scroll]

texas hold-em is far from full luck

but luck is a big part of it

[trim tartan]

Full, probably not. To some degree, any variant of poker is skilled.

I’d just say Chinese poker takes more skill.

What can I say? I have a gambling addiction. /j

Of course, no real money is getting gambled.

Let’s all be responsible adults.

[night lily]

The question then would be why they take creatures( and if we hold their behaviors during arti campaign to be canon as well) with sufficient understanding of karma deep down into the sea

[trim tartan]

Knowing when to fold is skill, but having your cards dealt out to you and not being able to play them is pretty far from skill, I’d say!

[edgy scroll]

their motives are a mystery to me. perhaps we'll get an answer with

[edgy scroll]

the skill comes from being able to work around bad hands in the longer game

poker's not about winning every hand

it's about squeezing the most from the hand that you are going to win

[unkempt yew]

Idk how to do those

[trim tartan]

Shows me I shouldn’t know enough about Hold-em to play, but I’m all for that rush.

[edgy scroll]

so, are we going to play poker, or just talk about it?

[trim tartan]

How might we do that?

[unkempt yew]

You guys play blackjack?

[night lily]

There's math skill part and then there's psychological part

Read other players and then don't get read yourself, or implant false tells

[trim tartan]

I’d say I’m decent at not being read, but I have been read before.

Last time anyone read me like a book was a decent while ago.

[edgy scroll]

hmmm... we could hop in a VC and run the poker activity through discord. (I know some of you don't want to VC, but you could just mute yourself)

[unkempt yew]

How about them good ol knucklebones

[night lily]

Black jack is the only one gambling game that has mathematically least disadvantage on players too

[trim tartan]

How many of us are joining?

[edgy scroll]

or, if any of you have tabletop sim on steam, that's always an option...

[unkempt yew]

Idk how to do poker tho

[edgy scroll]

it's easy

[unkempt yew]

And also, i only have mobile

[trim tartan]

No money.

[night lily]

Im about to go outside (jogging) so if later on you guys are still playing maybe I'll join in

[edgy scroll]

especially the discord version, that one even handles all the rules and hands

[trim tartan]

Oh!

[unkempt yew]

At this time? Yes

[trim tartan]

I see.

That's very interesting.

[night lily]

It's still 6pm over here!

[trim tartan]

Let's not bet real money, but we need some form of incentive to not lose.

What about more writing?

[unkempt yew]

It's 7 here, hermano

[trim tartan]

It appears that Anton is an hour ahead of you.

[night lily]

How about betting with word counts? Loser has to write

[unkempt yew]

Can discord do poker?

[edgy scroll]

"Every dollar you lose is word you have to write "

[trim tartan]

Yes.

[unkempt yew]

In discord? Without having anything but discord?

[trim tartan]

Yes.

[edgy scroll]

Here, I'll hop in the VC and get a game going

[trim tartan]

Discord has games built into it.

[unkempt yew]

This is the first time I heard that discord has it own games

[trim tartan]

This is very interesting!

Alright, who else is in?

[unkempt yew]

We betting our words for this, aye? 👀

[trim tartan]

Yes.

Just join us in Warehouse.

[edgy scroll]

I suppose so

[trim tartan]

How do we determine how much, though?

[edgy scroll]

and, if you'd like, the game does support bots

[unkempt yew]

And sadly, I have to learn poker

[trim tartan]

It's pretty quick, I'd say!

[unkempt yew]

I only know blackjack and solitaire

[edgy scroll]

base pot is 1000, so 1 'discord dollar' = 1 word written

[trim tartan]

I'm not going to play much, because it is eerie sitting in a voice call.

I see. Very well.

[unkempt yew]

And I cannot do voice chat because my house has no rooms (except the bathroom of course, I'm not a savage)

[trim tartan]

We don't have our microphones on.

[edgy scroll]

just hop in VC deafened and muted

[trim tartan]

We don't need to do that.

[unkempt yew]

[edgy scroll]

then you can play without interference

maybe we should make some sort of stories-poker discord server

[trim tartan]

Join the activity, perhaps, Anton?

[edgy scroll]

it may be slow for him, if he's on his phone

[trim tartan]

I see.

Well, we're in.

[edgy scroll]

I feel just a little silly, in the VC and muted like this

[trim tartan]

I think my discord isn’t working.

Let me reconnect. H

[unkempt yew]

I'm off for a thousand words after lost to poker

[lime ingot]

Oooh poker

Does it work on mobile?

[unkempt yew]

Yes

[unkempt yew]

Cy and Celestium are playing rn

And I lost, so I have to type a 1000 words

[limpid ore]

idk how tf to play poker

[lime ingot]

Gonna go get my tablet and play some poker then (I don't know anything about poker )

[unkempt yew]

Same

Idk how I did play poker but I'm learning

(i only know to play Solitaire and Blackjack)

[limpid ore]

the only time i tried to learn was for the poker minigames in yakuza 0, kiwami, and kiwami 2

i still gave up

[unkempt yew]

[lime ingot]

I am gonna play poker on my tablet have discord open on my phone and have a guide on how to play poker open on my tv

[unkempt yew]

Also, I kinda forgor how to draw anthro now

[lime ingot]

I am going to play to win (I will lose horribly)

[unkempt yew]

They are still playing, you can still join but a 1000 as start and every 1 loss of it is 1 word to type

Warehouse

[edgy scroll]

welcome in

[unkempt yew]

Are you gonna put Fred on the bet?

[edgy scroll]

it's voluntary, of course

[unkempt yew]

Oh well, I still lost on that

[night lily]

Sorry folks, seems like I'm not getting home any time soon for now

[unkempt yew]

Been straying too long?

[night lily]

Something came up

[unkempt yew]

I see 👀

[trim tartan]

2000 words.

[unkempt yew]

Did chief win?

[edgy scroll]

I came out ahead

but the casual poker can go on essentially indefintely thanks to the infinte buybacks

so you have to decide when to call it yourself

[unkempt yew]

I'm gonna go writing

[lime ingot]

Bro the poker game was insane

I went bankrupt 3 times

One time I had 1 dollar to my name

Then I did a bunch of crazy comebacks

I went from 500 words to 2000 words back to 500 then 2000 again and then 1000, 2000 again and then 0 words then back to 1000 and then back to 0

Don't need to write anything

Always gamble kids

[edgy scroll]

the bet was writing as many words as the dollars you lost, you know that, right?

[limpid ore]

[lime ingot]

Oooh

Uh oh

disappears

[edgy scroll]

running out on his debts

[lime ingot]

Hmm let's calculate

[edgy scroll]

if you went bankrupt three times, that'd be 3000 words

[lime ingot]

Lovely

How fun

[fringe anchor]

Wait did y'all gamble for words to write

[trim tartan]

Alright. What the fuck did I do wrong?

Something had to have gone wrong for me to lose that fast.

[lime ingot]

Yeah

[fringe anchor]

That sounds hella funny, shame i was at school

[lime ingot]

In the end I did actually win with 2000 dollars to my name

Sadly I miss understood the betting system

[trim tartan]

I will be quartering the nearest writer and consuming them for writing juice.

What did I do wrong?

[edgy scroll]

Some of it was bad luck.
You weren’t aggressive enough, though.

[trim tartan]

I began to play more aggressively near the end.

Didn’t work out. Oh well!

[edgy scroll]

You only ever made bets when you had something to bet with, and you always made them small enough that it was easy to call.

[trim tartan]

I come from a different style of poker, where more timid plays are viable.

Also, 600 bet was bad.

[edgy scroll]

It’s better to be aggressive early on, when you have the stack to bully with. When you’re short, you should always be looking for the hand that looks like a winner, and when it comes, you go all in on that. Then you either take the pot, double your stack, or get knocked out. No slow death by a thousand cuts.

[trim tartan]

That one lost me the game.

[edgy scroll]

I wouldn’t go that far… you can always come back, in poker. It just gets tricky when you’re less than half your opponent’s stack.

[lime ingot]

I was pretty timid at the start but I got some really good hands and then I started to slowly lose a good amount of money when the other guy joined

Mainly because I kept getting high cards

Which I don't like

[edgy scroll]

Yeah, he was playing wild. You have to be careful when you’re up against that.

[lime ingot]

Trying to pressure him into folding won't work so I just prayed to Dadvulet to get a good hand

And I did

[edgy scroll]

When your opponent is putting out big bets on every hand, even the crap ones, playing cautiously works best, yeah.

[lime ingot]

After getting to 1 dollar and busting out for the third time of course

[night lily]

gambling is really bad huh

[edgy scroll]

I think it's great, myself

(I do not advocate for any of you to put down real money on any sort of gamble, especially not one that is run by a large-scale company or organization, as those are practically always skewed towards a loss on the part of the average consumer)

[unkempt yew]

I don't know bout you but Blackjack

[trim tartan]

Quartered Casper, it is now somewhere in Cy’s yard. The dogs shouldn’t come, but if they do, good luck.

I’ll be taking the writing juice some time this week.

yeah but how does it look like

[open matrix]

no clue

its not for me

[fringe anchor]

oh

[open matrix]

im just getting it

tho i think you can double them with dimands (of which i have more then enough ) so if it looks cool i will use it

[iron totem]

Looks like this

[fringe anchor]

holyyyy

[iron totem]

It's my favorite

I can actually give you a pvp advantage as it can work as camouflage

Using emeralds for instance

[open matrix]

huh

how does one make it its the left variant and not the right? the cyan to black and yellow to black on its own doesnt look that promising tbh, but i like the other one

[iron totem]

The right one is gold armour with netherite trim

[open matrix]

so the one with no transition?

would have guessed the other way around tbf, but that works for me. i already have netherite so i can just slap on the trim and it will be all colorful

so now i have my swift sneak and the trim, anything else exclusive to the cities or can i finally stop searchig for more?

[scenic escarp]

(me seeing the diamond armor with netherite trim): Maybe... maybe I won't need to upgrade to full netherite to look cool after all...

[fringe anchor]

but think of the efficiency

[open matrix]

wait, so which one is the good looking one?

going from the left, 1 and 3 look good, the other two, ehhhh, not that good if you ask me

1 and 3 are netherite armour with diamond and gold trim respectively, right?

[fringe anchor]

2 and 4 are up to preference imo, they look kinda "sharper", i suppose

[open matrix]

true

i just dont really like it

[fringe anchor]

(i think they are napping now so you might not get an answer for now)

[open matrix]

a shame

i can wait tho

[fringe anchor]

i mean, it's ehhhhhhhhhhh? kinda??

[open matrix]

2 and 4 are not worth 3 different city trips and 11 dugged out montains

1 and 3 on the other hand...

but if they are the gold and dimand armour with netherite trim, i will cry

[fringe anchor]

wait why do you dig out mountains

[open matrix]

cities generate most likely under montians

so if i look for one, i just dig into the next best mountain

[fringe anchor]

1 and 3 look like netherite while 2 is diamond and 4 is gold imo

[open matrix]

i foudn deep dark bioms each time

[fringe anchor]

look at the helmet details

[fringe anchor]

ahh

[iron totem]
