"survival of the fittest"

[sharp wren]

no???

[buoyant turtle]

oh wait why did I think that was rot LOL

[sharp wren]

no blue sparky

[buoyant turtle]

it’s blue rot is blue 😴
same thing trust

[sharp wren]

sureeee

[sharp wren]

okay do I explore shaded even tho I don't have a light? or do I head elsewhere

oh hey look where I found

htis pearl don't look white

but it doesn't show up as a key item

thanks halves for the echo symbol!

alright I have been everywhere in shaded I do believe? this area I just found was one I remember being in as arti

so long ago that was

very flooded shelter

I thinnnnnnnnk it's about time I head to shoreline

this cycle feels rather long, is it just me or are they getting longer?

[limpid cairn]

Could be, or you could be getting faster at riv

[sharp wren]

showa

[sharp wren]

there's for sure more dots than I'm used to seeing

[limpid cairn]

Also fair, I think that might be the max amount

I've got the vibration cue on console so I don't typically look at pips too often

[sharp wren]

bubble plants up here??????

woah there's a den here, that's new

I have made it inside :3

porl is still up there

to think how huge this hole in the structure must be to let all that rain right in here

moon has a robe now-?

who gave her a robe?

[limpid cairn]

(It was me again)

[sharp wren]

is there lore to that?

[limpid cairn]

Uh

[sharp wren]

she didn't in any of the other downpour scugs

[limpid cairn]

Y'know I'm not entirely sure

[sharp wren]

or in downpour survi

she said she hasn't seen any of us in a lonnnnnnnnng time

so- is this guy after everyone?

if so, this cloak thing makes a little less sense lol

cause where did it come from?

why now?

did she make it?

also she has more braincells!?

[limpid cairn]

Moon takes up crocheting in her free-time

[sharp wren]

then maybe this is before she lost them all

but she has seen us, so there's another scug

I'll give her the pearl in a second

like, the other two degraded

or I'm missing a scug?

ohhh wait!

hmm,

isn't monk after survi? I think I heard that somewhere

I'm not sure if that's the case

okay there's two options:

1. this is before arti and before moon got fully drained of water, wich would explain the bonus braincells and the remnants of a robe, but other environmental details dissagree with that
2. this is after, which doesn't explain the robe but! maybe the braincells are part of monk (which I have not played but have heard is after survi) and riv is even later in the timeline, but then why is there so much rain now??

those are my theories

we'll see what this porl says

almost forgot to record it

so it's a map, to something in pebbles maybe?

that didn't help me decide when this is in the timeline

can someone who knows more give me a vague answer on if this robe has lore explaining it ? cause like, it definitely looks like a robe that's degrading but if that's true why is it only here now

oh here's something I have just thought of

riv doesn't dream

[limpid cairn]

As far as it's known ||there isn't a direct reason why, but there's clear evidence and speculation pointing to the reason for why she has it. One of those "impled not told" things.|| if someone can expand more than I can, be my guest, I think that's about where my knowledge is at on the subject

[sharp wren]

I see

my other idea was that it is paint flaking but it is far to clean cut around the head for that to make sense

I wonder how it's implied

and by what

[limpid cairn]

Paint flaking would be interesting though

[sharp wren]

for now we're going with the crochet idea

[limpid cairn]

Lol

[sharp wren]

well

hm

is the braincells implied too?

or do they just assume you did that as survi

it'd be cool if they actually counted how many you gave her on that file and made that many show up in any following scugs

[limpid cairn]

||implied in the same way the robe is||, pretty sure

[sharp wren]

I see I see

[limpid cairn]

I agree

[sharp wren]

cause like that actually is a thing you can affect

I gave her a whole bunch

so how'd she loose em between then and now

[sharp wren]

petition to tell them to add that!

lol

idk, it weird so far

maybe pebbles will have answeres when I get to him, for now I'm gonna explore shoreline as I can in the water

[limpid cairn]

How many regions you got left for Odyssey?

[sharp wren]

I think three

[sharp wren]

exterior, pebbles, and whatever riv's region is

[tough flicker]

oooooooooo riv

riv is e pic

[sharp wren]

yes it is

did you just get here?

[tough flicker]

i got here when the thread started i think

yeah see i was alway shere

i already beat riv so i wont be soiled

[sharp wren]

ah okay

enjoy reading :>

[tough flicker]

i did

[cunning grove]

|| it's something that can be given the same way as neurons can. ||

[lunar garden]

wawa

[cunning grove]

Rivulet content entry for you not allowed

[limpid cairn]

Begone with you! there's soilers in here

[sharp wren]

[sharp wren]

I see I see-

maybe I should do monk next, that might be my missing piece

if this guy is after

[limpid cairn]

[sharp wren]

boo!

[elfin condor]

AAAHH

[sharp wren]

given we're here, what other of riv's abilities would be soilery other than fast and swim

[sharp wren]

[elfin condor]

overall agility (the jump and backflip height, the length of the slide) ig

[sharp wren]

fair ig, tho everyone knows it's fast

[elfin condor]

i think that's it

[sharp wren]

my thought was the bubble fruit popping

[elfin condor]

yeah, but it's relatively insignificant

so i didn't even remember it

[sharp wren]

lol ye

oki time to exploreee

ooooooo

there'sssss that deeper underwater part

that I found as- survi 2.0 I think?

or maybe gourm

either way I wanna go down there

ohhh h it dark

idk if I wanna be down here

without light

well that was horrifying

omg air

pubble

there is nothing here but me and the void

broken gate?

this gate wasn't locked or anything tho

is this not the riv exclusive region?

[elfin condor]

what regions have you been to in this campaign?

[sharp wren]

everywhere but exterior, 5P, and whatever this is I think-

I thought it would be locked by some method

cause like all the other exclusive ones were

there's like high tenshion cable noises

this is eerie

[elfin condor]

I'd suggest visiting the other 2 regions you haven't been to later

[sharp wren]

I am now deeply curious if downpour survi can get here

two leftttttt

cause this place did not seem to be locked, moon mentioned no such thing, and I haven't been to pebbles yet

[sharp wren]

so don't go rn?

I'll look around this place a bit more but I want light cause it dark

[elfin condor]

if you want to, why not
i just thought you wanted to explore the region you got to now

[sharp wren]

I would enjoy exploring more when I can see lol

there are these but they're not very bright

I GOT KELPED

I'm still curious like, why wasn't this place locked

add that to my questions list

[tough flicker]

riv can pop bubble fruits?

[limpid cairn]

Why would it be locked?

[tough flicker]

oh your THERE good luck

[sharp wren]

I just assumed it would be given it's the riv region

like gourm and arti

[sharp wren]

I might leave cause I can't see to save my life

[tough flicker]

rip

[sharp wren]

I'll be back after I eat some braincells

[tough flicker]

ah reasonable

... i dont think i thought of that

[sharp wren]

oh no-

I'm gonna look around shoreline then head up to leg

not broken side of showa

there's a scary thing up there

atleast it glows

got killed by an eel

reached the garbage wastes den, so far nothing unique or interesting

I just got very much fried

these thinfs are scary

another eel

kelped

shoreline is not appearing any different wso I'm gonna make my way back to shadded

showa

[cunning grove]

Whenever you say showa l keep thinking of the Showa era in japan

[sharp wren]

uhhhhhh nope

[cunning grove]

Most specially in context of the godzilla franchise lol

Or, also the fish.

I like koi. I was a fanatic for a while.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showa_(fish)

[sharp wren]

koi are cool

they your favorite fish still?

[cunning grove]

I like tropical fish more

As far as pet fish hobby goes

[sharp wren]

fair fairrr

there be water in the memory crypts

huh!?!

there's rot in the memory crypts!!!!

this is different too- hello lil guy you really shouldn't be down here

more

I love seeing reactions pup up and noticing they're from people who aren't chatting, love to see y'all lurking!

at this rate I'm literally screenshotting every screen

WHYYYYYYYY

I haven't heard or seen any scissor birds yet either-

ugh the background too, that whole slab is covered in the stuff

I do not feel safe

no rot, just lots of water

nvmmm, that huge diagonal bit wasn't there before either

I'm thinking this is after survi for sure now

this stuff is fresh

hello goobers

smoll patch

more

okay I'm gonna stop screenshotting every bit of rot, I think I get the idea

I hear the cable noise here too, like there's loose things dangling down from above

steammmmm

one moreeeeeeeee

rot in the first room of leg???

these guys feel bigger

I don't like it here

comfy den

two in one room???

I caught the moment I broke free and fell to my death

oops fell again :<

rot on the roofff

more out here, and I always forget this is an area to a gate now

I don't enjoy that the walls can hear me

pebbles again!

I either really haven't been noticing them or this is like the second time I've seen either of them

[cunning grove]

[sharp wren]

there's so much rot-

I thought I could grab those two dangly ones

I could not

this whole chunk is missing!

I fell

:<<

I didn't think they could possibly make underhang more stressful

helppppppppp

[ashen galleon]

green

[sharp wren]

the fact this quantity of electricity doesn't purge the rot is crazy

who thinks I can outlast it

clearly rot does not confuct electricity

[tough flicker]

hearts has seen the riv memory crypts

[sharp wren]

flashing lights warning

[tough flicker]

oooo

[tough flicker]

rip

[ashen galleon]

what if rot is charged by electricity

[tough flicker]

that looks cool

[sharp wren]

then I should be very dead

[sharp wren]

I did! it was very uncomfortable

[sharp wren]

just need to find away inside the structure

the way up is normally in that room that fell apart- so I'm gonna look for the other side

two!

dang

[tough flicker]

[sharp wren]

this is painful

but I am close I hope

[tough flicker]

what karma u on

[sharp wren]

5

4

fell again

as the electricity is starting

the cycles aren't long enough to do this

and unlike the rain I can't power through the electricity

[tough flicker]

[sharp wren]

I thinnnnnnnk I'm gonna head to the wall

[tough flicker]

"not so fast!!!"
builds a wall

[sharp wren]

no

maybe I'll come down the other side and see if I can still get up, cause I wanna see the inside and I need braincells

first passage as rivuletttttt

[tough flicker]

down the other side to where

[sharp wren]

see if I can still go up the bottom but from the left

[tough flicker]

dies like 5 times in a row
the survivor

[sharp wren]

lolllllll

ughhh it looks like the way up was right there

but there's no way I could've gotten up there even if I wasn't missing jumps, the electricity would've gotten me anyway

target selected

[tough flicker]

target acquired

[sharp wren]

gayyyyyyyyyy

it's welcoming me from all my suffering

steammm

iterator paint

orb is gone

[tough flicker]

crazy how the grafitti is stil lthere after all this time

[sharp wren]

electricity was gonna get me anyway

[tough flicker]

it fell onto a random lizard

[cunning grove]

You saw where it went

[buoyant turtle]

(the amount of time you can hold your breath under wawer)

[tough flicker]

fair

[buoyant turtle]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1092953499861532804.png?size=160&name=WAWA

[sharp wren]

true true

[sharp wren]

she knew that too

fell again

[buoyant turtle]

[sharp wren]

am giving up on this direction

[buoyant turtle]

awh

[sharp wren]

very sad but my sanity is important

[buoyant turtle]

tbf i dont think i ever crossed the grabble worm part as riv

i take the long way

[limpid cairn]

[sharp wren]

this side goes faster but it's longer, I'll get zapped either way

[buoyant turtle]

but shelters if you go up leg

[sharp wren]

tried that first

[buoyant turtle]

the real perseverance challenge

[sharp wren]

I feel like even if I didn't die to random stuff on any of my attempts I'd have been zapped, there just isn't enough time to do this at the pase I'm doing it

[buoyant turtle]

faster or different route

[sharp wren]

I've tried both sides, I just gotta be faster

[buoyant turtle]

you can do it :)

[limpid cairn]

[sharp wren]

eventually cause I want braincell

rn I go up wall

[limpid cairn]

It takes practice, though, like a lot of practice to learn the routing and stuff, especially as riv

Riv underhang's a nightmare

[buoyant turtle]

A minor hint that you may already know is that ||when you are moving at high speeds it can be considerably harder for things to grab you||

[sharp wren]

true, the walls still seem to kill me tho

I've died to them and falling more than anything else

[buoyant turtle]

ah if you touch them directly thats true

[sharp wren]

not even, I gently brushed some tentacles and was dragged into the ceiling nearly instantly

[buoyant turtle]

maybe i will do odyssey once i finish adventurer
or during who knows

then i can feel the pain again

[sharp wren]

lol

[buoyant turtle]

how about i just do it rn so i can have the feel of riv again and be more helpful

[sharp wren]

made it to this den and I'm gonna head off for today

[sharp wren]

it's okay you don't have to

[buoyant turtle]

this is true but i want to

i have a hard time sticking to one challenge especially when im sort of stuck on a slow one like pilgrimage and scholar

[ashen galleon]

sameee

[sharp wren]

understandable

this one's not super fast either-

you also don't have to do underhang I just wanted to

[sharp wren]

you wont beat me ik that!

[buoyant turtle]

tbh i thought you submitted already LOL

now i wanna beat you

[sharp wren]

no, I'm still missing 5P but I'll get it later tonight or tomorrow

[buoyant turtle]

guess i better hurrt

hurry

[sharp wren]

I will be thoroughly impressed if you get to all- 14 regions before I get to my last one

[buoyant turtle]

oooohhh im one away im gonna win ooooOOooOoOO

[tough flicker]

i wanderer if...

[sharp wren]

oh yea you need pilgrim too

[sharp wren]

lol

mono has just ruined my day /s

I got nomad thinking that was the one I needed

I missed the chimney, farms, and sub echos

the only one I haven't been close to was sub

I will get these

I can do it

[sharp wren]

lol

food eaten and siblings shot (with nerf guns) time to finnish this challenge

echo three met

locked gate one

[tough flicker]

thats not an echo silly an echo is where you yell in a cave and u can hear the sound bouncing off the cave walls

[sharp wren]

caves don't tend to have enough space to make echos, you need big ones for that

[tough flicker]

big caves then

[sharp wren]

steammmmy

[sharp wren]

true

[tough flicker]

i bet u barely had enouhg karma to open the door

just barely enough

[sharp wren]

uhhhhh

I had whatever getting three echos gives you :3

[tough flicker]

see

barely, only just

[sharp wren]

gravity's not weird here-???

[tough flicker]

lucky u didnt die

[sharp wren]

gravity and rot

[tough flicker]

the game forgot that F=(GMm)/r^2

[sharp wren]

?

entering to meet pebbles! and an attempt at giving him the pearl but he didn't want to read it

WOWWWWWWW

I hate rot

do I need to like go back in there?

[buoyant turtle]

yes

[sharp wren]

stupidest thing I've seen in this game

why is that there

[buoyant turtle]

to be a hater

[sharp wren]

I didn't he's still just playing his music

oh no he started repeating it

nvm

[limpid cairn]

Now that he's in reach you can finally slap him

[sharp wren]

I will hit with rock

[buoyant turtle]

the pearl looks cool in your clip, it didnt look like that for me

[sharp wren]

the music one?

hit him with spear

I want back out the top

snack

sighhhhhhhhhh

rot

he called me dumb

I'm just gonna not go back into his room

gonna get the dot for wanderer and leave

[ashen galleon]

i died here nine times

[sharp wren]

I really don't like that they put a way to die in a story room

I don't want to go have to listen to him a third time

[ashen galleon]

it's so stupidly hard to get in that shortcut pipe due to how fast rivulet is

[sharp wren]

got ittttttttt

[sharp wren]

I got in the one on the roof

leavingggggg

I'm gonna steal his music pearl for the mental pain he has caused

I was gonna be nice and leave it but not any moreeee

[limpid cairn]

One of my least favorite pipes

I'd always lose my karma flower there too cuz it'd respawn... inside the rot

[sharp wren]

sounds like the design of this room is disliked

I would've prefered a way out the way I came in thank you

[limpid cairn]

Honestly, I like the difficulty of these particular sections with Riv

Makes me anxious and feel awful for what Pebbs is going through

But like... they're so annoying

[sharp wren]

it does not make me feel bad, ik it's not his fault but I'm taking his music pearl

he called me dumb

[limpid cairn]

What the rot not being his fault?

[sharp wren]

he's the dumb one for creating this stuff

I'm annoyed it makes you re listen to him

unlike the other scugs where the entire area around him is safe, you can literally die in his room

[limpid cairn]

You could... ignore him and just immediately leave👀

I started doing that

[sharp wren]

it's true

I recorded it once

missed the steam

[buoyant turtle]

tssssss

[sharp wren]

thank you :3

[limpid cairn]

Fsssshhh

[sharp wren]

lol

flood cycle yayyyyyy

[tough flicker]

psshshhsssshshshshhhssssshsshsssh

[sharp wren]

the rain helped speed up echo four

steam showaaaaaa

[cunning grove]

Are you doing a challenge run of some sort? Or collecting passages or something?

[sharp wren]

I've been doing odyssey for verity before continueing the main story

I thought I was close but I got pilgrim confused with nomad

[cunning grove]

Ah l see

[sharp wren]

so I have two echos left to grab

[buoyant turtle]

nomad makes sense in the challenge so i dont blame you

[sharp wren]

go everywhere, and go places quickly

made sense in my head

[tough flicker]

oh i didnt know thi shappened...

[sharp wren]

made it to this shelter

[sharp wren]

me neither lol

sheltering at the gate

steammmm

sweeper having a hard time

[tough flicker]

sweeeppppeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[sharp wren]

echo number five!

[tough flicker]

goin for pilgrim

nice

[sharp wren]

rainnnn

sighhhhh

rain again, there isn't enough time to deer

[limpid cairn]

Here let me help unrains your world

[hidden tartan]

rains up your world

[sharp wren]

[tough flicker]

hyper rains up your world

rain+++++ world

rain^7000 world

[sharp wren]

I just picked up the spitter spider

oops

lol

still gotta come here as hunter

since when??????

okay I'm almost there

showaaaaaa

got the achievementtttttttt, that's my first time getting pilgrim

echo six

this also means there is not an echo in the riv's region

and that marks the end of my playing today

felt like i wanted my original color back

take two at summoning @hidden tartan to pin it!

[sharp wren]

yay!!!!

the man the myth the legend

[tough flicker]

ruffles is on!!!

now you gotta do a challenge

do commitment

[tough flicker]

i still gotta do a few things first so that i cant be soiled on those t hings

that's epic lol

[hidden tartan]

I MISS MY GAY ROLE

[sharp wren]

sameee

[sharp wren]

I'm gonna play some riv to relax after that insanity

I screenshotted this earlier but I was in a hurry, why are these guys here???

this place really looks moldy

got lost and drowned :<

[sharp wren]

I gotta stop touching grass

[sharp wren]

made it out without touching more grass

[sharp wren]

steammmm

two of em

I'm gonna get back to the shelter before pebbles then stop there

steammmmm

[limpid cairn]

Where we lost Ruffles

[sharp wren]

it's true

[tough flicker]

fffsssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[hidden tartan]

[sharp wren]

lol

[sharp wren]

time to head back in and go past pebbles

objective being don't die to rot at all

[hidden tartan]

[sharp wren]

thank you!

[hidden tartan]

Oh wait peak that leveled me up

[sharp wren]

yoooooooooooo

I've given it some thought, I have decided not to steal his music pearl

it's interesting he doesn't make a remark about us already having the dot

[sharp wren]

maybe I'll come get it later

right now I'm just gonna keep munching on his remaining braincells

I must be a very careful little guy

the electricity is giving me anxiety

am umcomfortable pulsing green

five pebbles (primary cortext)

is that the area?

this looks terrifying

safetyyyyy

lemme check something

okay I am not in 5P, I am simply in The Rot

[sharp wren]

is this the acurate name of the subregion?

ah yes I'll gladly go that way

dang it another region name popped up and I missed it

there's like plants in here

actual plants

[sharp wren]

help it don't wanna show up

pocket of the wiremesh stuff

oh these rooms are full of water?!

I think that one was "Five Pebbles (linear system rail)"

HELLLLLLLLP

omg it let go

why'd it let go?

[ashen galleon]

it was feeling polite

[sharp wren]

fair enough

[ashen galleon]

now rivulet will have trauma

[sharp wren]

well those will look like I shouldn't touch em

[sharp wren]

already does just from being here

"the rot (cystic conduit)"

why they gotta put brackets in the names here, messing up my formatting

oh well

[ashen galleon]

[ ]

copy and paste 😌

[sharp wren]

?

not sure I understand

[ashen galleon]

if you can’t use brackets for formatting you can just copy and paste them from here

unless i’m stupid

[sharp wren]

on my google docs?

I'm talking about formatting my regions list

[ashen galleon]

oh

[sharp wren]

my bad

[ashen galleon]

so it was this then

[sharp wren]

I wasn't clear and just assumed you knew what I was on about

I was using brackets for the shorthand names of regions

but now the region names got brackets

I'll probably just use quotation marks

"five pebbles (primary cortext)"
"Five Pebbles (linear system rail)"
"the rot (cystic conduit)"

I think those are the places I've wandered through so far

that was nearly very close to death

found another shelter

blueeeee

ohhhh this is actually familiar, I wonder how his MC is doing

bad is the answer

"The Rot (Depths)"

new areaaa

ohhh it's cause I'm approaching what used to be UD

that makes sense

shelter!

lemme double check where pebbles was telling me to go in here

energy rail, sounds like that other area?

maybe I'll head back to the left

I did not expect bottomless drops

resting

NEW SYMBOL!

oops caps lock

am a fool and still have this pearl I started with on me

oh well

got eaten by a wall

that looks fancy

am I supposed to touch it

woahhhhh

okay so this is the fancy thing

I feel like it deserves a pin

seemingly being one of the objectives of riv

anyway I'm gonna not grab it just yet and keep looking around

it's so powerful it distorts the mental image of my map lol

they want to kill meeeeee

this was the old passage up to pebble's chamber right?

I found one of the gravity disrupters!

[sharp wren]

thank you ruffles

I feel like that region name was just "Five Pebbles (Recursive Transform Array)"

this place seems rather intact, which woupld explain why the name is the same

another disrupter

[sharp wren]

is that right? hold on

why transform and not transformer

odd

I feel like I don't remember a room this large

well

cube

ah-

NOOOOoooo

I was doing so well

is that all the subregions or is there more to explore?

what am I saying there's planty to explore, I haven't even made it to the other gate yet

oh god- it's this room

I think, the first big one after entering from the bottom

why is it purple-?

am I crazy or is it purple?

this room too!

finally reached an area just called "the rot"

I hate that

right there, outside the shelter

found it

and with that, I think I'm gonna call it quits for today

[tough flicker]

yyooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[sharp wren]

eepy scug :3

[tough flicker]

gn

[tough flicker]

worlds shortest cycle timer

[sharp wren]

why'd I lose it-?

that's saint right? for not fighting?

ohhhh

I stabbed a tentacle to make it let go

maybe that's why?

[sharp wren]

I swear I've had cycles that were a minute and a half

riv's cycles are so short

tank is this all the subregions for this area?
subregions- "Five Pebbles (Primary Cortex)", "Five Pebbles (linear system rail)", "the rot (cystic conduit)", "The Rot (Depths)", "Five Pebbles (Recursive Transform Array)"

[tough flicker]

i think so

[sharp wren]

yay!!

I think I still haven't been all he way in the depths part

[tough flicker]

go look at the region from the regions map from the main menu

[sharp wren]

oh true that exists

looks like the large bits I'm missing are bottom left, and where UD used to be and up

I wonder why they chose to name the subregions that way

[tough flicker]

ah cool so you know the region is renamed as riv?
ah wait its stated up here cool

[sharp wren]

ye I went out to check the menu screen lol

wanted to know if I was including these subregions under 5P or something new

[tough flicker]

yeah pebles is having lots of fun with is new toy

[sharp wren]

the music pearl or the rot?

[tough flicker]

th e rot

[sharp wren]

it's quite something

[sharp wren]

it's the only place I've seen brackets, and like, why do they need to distiguish what is 5P and what is Rot?

the only one that's the same is RTA

all the other bits have different names

I'll decide later if I wanna keep it, rn the section is a mess of symbols lol

[tough flicker]

what unlocks do u have

[tough flicker]

ah i see

[tough flicker]

oh god that really does hurt your formatting

[sharp wren]

in general or in that region?

[tough flicker]

both ig

[sharp wren]

yeaaaaaaa

I put the quotation marks for now, but it's annyoing and I don't wanna do it to all of them to make it match

I might just cut off the parts that say "the rot" or "five pebbles"

[sharp wren]

ummm lemme look with downpour on

might keep "the rot" infront of depths cause that's already a place

why didn't they call it core or something

[tough flicker]

depths sounds creepier i guess

[sharp wren]

but it's not even deep, I fell to my death through what I assume is just a huge hole in the structure

it's just where the rot started

[tough flicker]

but it sounds creepier

[sharp wren]

I think the rot core sounds just as bad

also I assume submerged has subregions?

[tough flicker]

find out! ||it does yes||

[sharp wren]

lol okay, I'll put the section there preemptively

I look forward to heading back down there now that I can see

[tough flicker]

whats a pirates favourite letter

[sharp wren]

R

or C

[tough flicker]

ARR! people think it be R but it be the SEA!!!!

[sharp wren]

ha

[tough flicker]

☠️🦜

[sharp wren]

lol

[sharp wren]

beat ya to it sowwy

[tough flicker]

plunder

[sharp wren]

tis what i do in sea of thieves

I should look up pirate jokes to make the sailing even more enjoyable /s

[tough flicker]

oh your a sea of theives player thatd do it

[rocky forge]

a

[tough flicker]

most people respond with R for that joke

[sharp wren]

I've heard both but less people know C so I say R first

[tough flicker]

secret ending: its actually P for parrot

[sharp wren]

lol could be

[sharp wren]

a fairly new one but yes :>

[tough flicker]

we are very on topic

[sharp wren]

I don't mind

[rocky forge]

most on topic rain world thread:

[sharp wren]

lol

[tough flicker]

riv could be a pirate

[sharp wren]

it's water related and this is riv thread! we're all good

yea!

riv needs a pirate hat

does DMS have that?

[tough flicker]

theres surely a riv pirate emoji somewhere

[sharp wren]

that I wouldn't know

if there is ig belongs in the reactions

[tough flicker]

not in t his server but its gotta be in dress my slugcat or somet hing

[rocky forge]

if there isnt there shiuld be

[tough flicker]

there will be the rain world community has everything

you underestimate how loaded with memes the community is

[sharp wren]

are either of you in DMS?

[tough flicker]

im not (rip)

im in too many servers alr

[sharp wren]

lol

[tough flicker]

i also dont have nitro

no idea what this emoji is supposed to mean but im using it

[sharp wren]

not sure either

I just stick to uhh

<- whoever made this one’s emots

[tough flicker]

those are good

[sharp wren]

they have a wide enough range of emotion that they're my main ones

I should go look at the page and find exactly which ones they made, and who it is

I think i remember, faeling?

[tough flicker]

ping them /j

[sharp wren]

I was gonna say absolutely not

that's scary

I was thinking of pinging star and bringing them back tho

she was the sylveon back when I started my threads

I saw her account when re-reading some of my survivor thread

[tough flicker]

i was looking for your first thread i couldnt find it

[sharp wren]

my first one was actually arti

I finished survivor and had done a good chunk of early exploration as arti before joining this place

[tough flicker]

yeah its a lot of fun rereading your own old threads

i have many

[sharp wren]

do you re-read them?

mine?

why???

[tough flicker]

i mostly reread mine but sometimes others too

just for fun

[sharp wren]

fair fair

[tough flicker]

i cant wait to see your spearmaster/saint threads when they are created !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sharp wren]

I'm considering doing vanilla monk after this to get the missing pieces of the timeline, I also gotta actually finnish hunter at some point lol

my next hunter run will just be getting the collectibles tho

and maybe some other challenge while I'm at it

I need to finnish hunter to get passages cause I don't have the achievement

I'm also not sure which save i wanna do which monk on because endings

idk how much subtle interplay there might be between it, survi, and gourm

anyway, I should get to bed

talk to y'all tomorrow!

[limpid cairn]

You could also abbreviate them, like 5P(Recursive Transform Array), TR(Depths)

It's not quite as clean but it's cleaner

From a lore standpoint on why the game says FP or TR the whole time is likely because there are multiple itties with the same parts

[sharp wren]

it's the brackets that ruin my formatting, and is itties iterators?

[limpid cairn]

Yeah

If it's the brackets, could you replace them with colons or semi-colons?

Or would that not work either

[sharp wren]

the base game regions don't get fancy brackets

I'll probably just chop off the beginning parts and remove the brackets

like dis

(I'm on phone now that's why the different layout)

[limpid cairn]

Ah cool

[elfin condor]

i've never seen anyone use TR as the abbreviation for the rot

[sharp wren]

I'll leave it how it is rn, maybe I'll change it in the future

[sharp wren]

another karma box pizza, same kind as last time i think

[sharp wren]

@hard girder welcome to my riv run!

[hard girder]

ribular

where r u rn

[sharp wren]

currently i am searching around inside the rot/prbbles

[hard girder]

do you hate it so far

[sharp wren]

I found the fancy thingo it's in pins, but I wanted to look around more first

[sharp wren]

I hate that you can die right in Pebble's room

[hard girder]

i hate the entirety of the Rot

its a stupid big confusing maze full of my least fav enemy

[sharp wren]

yeaaa, there's been a few times I thought moving rot was not and it chased me

[hard girder]

rivulet is very silly tho

love wet mouse

are u enjoying its movement

[sharp wren]

I am, it's been whiplash like every time I switch to a different one for something

then I get used to that one and come back like "omg speeeeed"

[cunning grove]

Rivulet is the default benchmark all the others got broken legs

[sharp wren]

I could believe it

[ashen galleon]

rivulet was probably the worst cat to give the rot area

it requires precision which is something riv lacks

[hidden tartan]

Debatable

[sharp wren]

it kindaaa does, they did a good job spacing it so it doesn't feel overwhelming

Pebble's room is annoying, but the rest has been okay

[ashen galleon]

it’d be a lot cooler imo if it wasn’t so spaced out

navigating tight corridors full of rot

[sharp wren]

I think they thought better turn making an entire region of UD

than*

[buoyant turtle]

Rot would not be enjoyable as any other slug imo

riv has the speed to escape grasps much easier

[sharp wren]

true true

[sacred obsidian]

late but congrats on finishing odyssey!!

[sacred obsidian]

i am

...in too many rain world emote servers

well there's not a riv one but i have an artificer one

here's one of riv fishing instead

[sacred obsidian]

yeah, faeling

i'm a part of their emote server (they have a link in their discord bio) but a lot of their emotes are here too

[sharp wren]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

that wasn't even that many pings

I expected atleast all 5 of the ones I had to be from here

[sharp wren]

epicc

[sacred obsidian]

i could scroll all the way before odyssey but im lazy

[sharp wren]

lol

[sharp wren]

more ribular time!!!!!!

ahhh zero gravity

well that's cheap

this is more like UD

that one specific tendril is purple

that one also\

all the purple tendrils are holding braincells

[sacred obsidian]

yummy

[sharp wren]

I dissagree this stuff drags me into the ceiling and kills me no matter what lol

[buoyant turtle]

walls dont apply so much but they arent inescapable

[sharp wren]

hmmm

I wonder if the purple color means something

it's eating the braincells

[tough flicker]

Watcherpopcorn react this user

[sharp wren]

well hi, please go away

I keep almost getting saint then loosing it cause I gotta stab one of their tentacles

[sacred obsidian]

they deserve it anyway

[hidden tartan]

Cycle 132

[tough flicker]

132 is pretty good!!!

Get to 1000

[sharp wren]

riv cycles go fast

132 cycles in 15 hours

riv is gonna have more cycles than survi in a fraction of the time

[tough flicker]

what cycle did u get up to in survivor

[sharp wren]

I will look when I get to another den

oops, I just starved by accident

397

so maybe I wont catch up

397 cycles, 57h

gonna pause for now tho, am hungy

[limpid cairn]

Time for a glowy snack

[sharp wren]

nah, pizza

[hard girder]

I hate rot traps

[sharp wren]

one little touch on a dangly tendril and zooop you're sucked into the ceiling and dead

[hard girder]

Damnn

[sharp wren]

I will run that save til not even RWSC are left to do on it

[buoyant turtle]

zoop

thats a zilly term

[ashen galleon]

true
ig i just really like ud

[sharp wren]

you're crazy

[hard girder]

UD is fie

An entire region of UD is NOT fine

[tough flicker]

now we need a region where literally every single wall and floor tile is covered

every single block

[sharp wren]

oh no-

[tough flicker]

oh yes

[sacred obsidian]

[tough flicker]

even the karma gate rooms

[sharp wren]

noooo

[tough flicker]

yessssss

[hidden tartan]

Downpour Region™ has that and much more

[sharp wren]

guess who's back

meeee~

I'm gonna try and get a passage based on what I think it requires

martyr

[tough flicker]

is it 19 spades endless reflections

[sharp wren]

ooooo okay it went up

[sharp wren]

tis not

[tough flicker]

oh dammmm

[sharp wren]

it's thirteen hearts, care to give

different echo

[tough flicker]

i thought i was on the money

[sharp wren]

buddy how?

[sharp wren]

unfortunatly not

[tough flicker]

grilled buddy for dinner tonight

[tough flicker]

this is an unfortunate development

[sharp wren]

yes

[sharp wren]

I wonder what they taste like

[tough flicker]

salt

or so im told anyway

[sharp wren]

I could see it

I wonder how many times I'll need to do this to get martyr

[tough flicker]

enough times that you get martyr

[sharp wren]

this is a super strange area to be doing martyr

I'm in the transform array

[hidden tartan]

They taste like 5P

[sharp wren]

fair enough

I float in eeps

got two!

only one steam achievement tho

[tough flicker]

saintyr

[sharp wren]

gonna go save properly then look for areas I haven't been

[tough flicker]

dont die

[sharp wren]

TA is safe other than zappy walls

that's why I did that here

ah yes rot arenas

ooo okay, found a gravity room I've already been to

NOOOOOOO

I fell on it

oh my god please go away

it did! I'm oklay!

den reached

exploration will continue

fell again

oh come on why is that a bottomless drop

oh my god the rot

the fact I made it across that room

this is where his memory conflux used to be

that kinda looks like a train car

[tough flicker]

theres a lot of lumps around

[sharp wren]

this place, is a living nightmare

this is honestly reaching eldritch horror vibes

the background music is so eerie-

the atmosphere in general is phenomenal

the decay of gods

I have this feeling I'll die if I try to cross this room

[tough flicker]

i double dog dare you to cross that room

[sharp wren]

oh weiiiird, the way the rot grew around a gravity core

well that looks pleasent /s

[sharp wren]

I did it!! /s

[tough flicker]

you win

[sharp wren]

NOOOOOOO RIGHT NEXT TO THE SHELTER TOOOOO

I just wanted to explore

I think I'm gonna head off for now, I have more work to do and food to eat

this was crazy to explore, I've spent so much time here

can't wait to do the same in submerged lol

[buoyant turtle]

ripp

[limpid cairn]

I passaged out of the rot like a wimp, I was scared for my life

[tough flicker]

reasonable

[sacred obsidian]

me too

left and never turned back

[sharp wren]

I am enjoying it so far, they didn't make it intentionally unfair to just exist, the occasional room has more than others but overall it's like avoiding more deadly grass

[limpid cairn]

I should go back and explore did that with a different region earlier just because I (unfortunately) used a map for literally everything

Only ever visited the rot again for the unlocks

[sacred obsidian]

also did the same...

[limpid cairn]

But ye, it can be difficult but I'm grateful it's not nightmarishly bad

[sharp wren]

:>

[sharp wren]

so i just went to have a glass of water and poured a spider onto my face

crawled onto my glasses before I took em off

twas very unexpected

spider warning:
this guy nearly on my eyeball lol

I'm just glad I didn't drink it

it's not the first time I've found spiders in that bathroom- weird, maybe it's just easier for them to get stuck in the cup or the sink

oh well, I need sleep

more rain world should be coming soonish as my schooling is wrapping up

[elfin condor]

Pretty

[sacred obsidian]

scary

[sharp wren]

guess who's back

back exploring more rot

and I fell to my death

[elfin condor]

Welcome back

[sharp wren]

:>

made it over here

[sacred obsidian]

hearts thread is back!!

[sharp wren]

this room looks

unpleasent

[sharp wren]

I am!

sometime soonish actually soonish I'll be doing a bit more hunter

I made it through!

this room is weirdly hazy

collected a thingo

[teal star]

presenting rain world's most ugly and poorly used room effect, the heat haze!

guaranteed to make your rooms look terrible!

[sharp wren]

lol

also welcome! I recognize you from the challenge threads

[teal star]

I got all chals they were fun
tried to go for verifier but got ghosted

[sharp wren]

oh no!!!

so now you're hanging around fp threads?

[teal star]

ig
there's not much rain world talk around spoiler channels, so am popping on fp threads to scratch the itch

[sharp wren]

fair fair

well, I'm just vibin here as riv

we looking around the rot

speaking of, I don't think I was supposed to jump up here

this looks like the only room left that I'm missing? I'll double check after but I might have almost been everywhere!

well, this is what it was

I lied! there's some lower parts I haven't been to

I can't get up

heading back to that room I died in last time

NOOOOOO

I was trying to get back to the dennnnn

:<

[steady owl]

Whoa, your exploration is so thorough!

[sharp wren]

I fell in rot again

[sharp wren]

why thank you! coming from you that's quite the compliment

I'm just trying to find every room

[steady owl]

I always appreciate some good exploration!
Plus, finding every room is an excellent goal (and much more managable than the extreme level of thoroughness I engage in, myself )

Keep up the good work, this (rain) world is perfect for exploration

[sharp wren]

this place has no cycle timer, I'm enjoying being able to run around as riv for longer than 3 min

[sharp wren]

I tend to explore every new region

I'm making a chart of the regions and their subregions

[steady owl]

A great way of doing it!

Good luck on your quest

[sharp wren]

thank you!!!

I wanna get past the purple one but that doesn't seem to be happening

quite telling me where the cell is Ik where the cell is I'll go get it later

this room is weird

very dark water room
