general

[lone magnet]

i don't want them implimented, just a system to manage them from within the game

people gonna mod either way, better to support them imo

[zinc chasm]

What I've meant is that modding community often have interesting ideas (as modders often love the game same//more than creators), and nobody expects from creators to have so many creative/implementation ideas. And collab with modders = less work for creators while providing content ppl thrive (of course after DEVS decide it's matching core game)

[rotund pewter]

And honestly, whether it is liked or not, it is the developer team’s game, and their choice for adding mods in or not

[lone magnet]

also a good way to find quality talent to work on your game

[rotund pewter]

Some mods are great - they improve things for base game works, but others are such a complete overhaul to undeveloped biomes or settings that it stops being the developers game anymore

[zinc chasm]

no shit sherlock, thats what ive been saying

[short thistle]

Oh they've moved here

[rotund pewter]

With this I can agree 🥳

[crimson inlet]

It's valentine's 🌹

[rotund pewter]

We are obedient little Vikings when Smiffe asks 😂

[tardy vale]

I mean we don't fight mods for valheim.
but we don't have the time to add modding features either atm.
The game is early access and any kind of mod-support will come after 1.0 full release

[short thistle]

I'm going to find some trolls and give them some love taps

[umbral fog]

and now who is coming of as a hostile 😉

[lone magnet]

yea i wouldn't want it to slow up main development, would be something down the line after release if they still want to continue development after 1.0

[rotund pewter]

Also, mods are not base game.
If something breaks due to a mod you can’t necessarily fix it without the original developer

[tardy vale]

we do talk to some modders tho. so it's not like ignore them

[rotund pewter]

And like you said, game is still in beta - it’s not finished yet 😅

[lone magnet]

ive seen a lot of games hire modders nowadays

[tardy vale]

yes. but we won't

[lone magnet]

factorio hired a modder for their expansion

[crimson inlet]

Didn't Minecraft do that too?

[rotund pewter]

Don’t think so

[lone magnet]

steam hired the DOTA modders.

[rotund pewter]

They just got outsourced to Microsoft 🙈

[zinc chasm]

Im just annoyed by seeing world as black and white (by others)

[crimson inlet]

The warden I think is from a long time modder?

I can't remember

[tough aspen]

It literally doesn't matter if other studios hire modders, why is this a point?

[umbral fog]

oh, are you color blind?

[lone magnet]

why is your only point, to hate on everyone elses points?

[rotund pewter]

Don’t be rude dude

[tardy vale]

I’ve actually won the elite 4 battles on pokemon violet while I wait for the opportunity to pick my pc up after it had its last professional clean up

Before that I didn’t touch the game

[lone magnet]

whats the difference between new pokemon games, tehy all look exactly the same to me

[lunar musk]

they have newer cash machines for you to pay into now xD

[lone magnet]

wasn't palworld like stupid successful just because they actually did something with the genre instead of just reselling the same game 20 times?

[rugged stag]

Pokémon scarlet and violet attempted a new concept - open world. No more physically being limited to a route where you’re forced to walk in tall grass.

But they still follow the obnoxious “Oh Hi 👋, hows it going Subject? Your pokemon look stronger! Let’s battle”

Um… no, just let me play

NO we MUST battle!

[lone magnet]

pokemon was always a younger crowd than me so i was predisposed to hate it from the beginning lol

us MTG nerds looked down on pokemon kiddies, but now pokemon fans are like 35 yrs old lol

❌ on fire emblem

[lunar musk]

despite it's copy paste games

[rugged stag]

If anything palworld should hopefully open up Nintendos / game freaks eyes to what the actual player base want - not so much the survival open world aspect but just a move on from the stale gameplay mechanics

[lunar musk]

exactly what i said when i first heard about Palworld

[violet belfry]

Once the game is completed, are there plans to keep adding content?

[lone magnet]

pokemon seemed like too simple a game for me, the first one, then they never seeemed to improve it

[lunar musk]

they lit it up in big neon flashing letters xD

[rugged stag]

I pretty much finished pokemon scarlet today as I said above, and I kid you not after 4x battles with each of the elite 4 and the additional battle after that with their leader, you technically finish the game and then boom. Right after that is a harder battle with your rival from the beginning of the game. To make it worse, once you finish that fight if you own the dlc for scarlet violet you’re given some dialogue, taken to a new area and then thrown into YET ANOTHER BATTLE…

Like…

I finished the game, why am I still physically restrained

And uh… the dlc battle - some how pokemon are from another planet, hit like a truck 😂

Glad I finally became a Pokémon champion though. Can get into the 5 star Tera raids when there’s some running

[lunar musk]

they thought pokemon go was the answer

[rugged stag]

I also play that

Niantic is essentially a seperate company who collab with pokemon for the rights ofc. The owner of Niantic plus the actual staff seem incapable of owning / managing the game 😂

[lone magnet]

when gaming because super mainstream and the big investors started diving into it... A lot of executives are game companies aren't gamers anymore.

[rugged stag]

I’m sorry?

[oblique plover]

they seem to let the players do most of the work

like adding and scanning portals etc

[lunar musk]

they just want the money they don't care about gaming experience for the player, as long as it sucks enough cash out it's bare minimum all the way

[lone magnet]

saying a lot of companies don't have upper level managment that are actually gamers anymore, just business professionals

[rugged stag]

not me just 1.3 million xp away from being level 37 which will let me edit pokestop photos.

[lone magnet]

i think in teh 90's if u got into even running a game development company, it was because you loved games. now its such a big industry, a lot more people who aren't gamers, just in it for the $$

hence why a lot of games are just vessels for microtransactions, and the game itself is kinda ass, or just recycled

and iu don't think todd howard is a gamer, microsoft should fire him lol

[rugged stag]

No idea who he is, but uh… I caught about 13 ditto today 🤘

Found them in the game finally and had to play spot the difference while they disguised themselves as the nearby pokemon

[lunar musk]

No idea why. Other than the utility of the “transform into any pokemon and use the moves of said copied pokemon”

Same here, has been ages since I've done some MTG, still got my cards though.
Never got into pokemon. I had red or blue on the gameboy but never played it all that much.

[tardy vale]

since Wizzard basicly broke the MTG aspect again.. so there is no way to play standard or modern anymore.
most people play either commander or MTGA (online)

[proven dagger]

I haven't followed any MTG news in years, I just have my cards, my red gobo blast deck and my red green food chain goblins deck are still intact the rest is in a box.

Probably a couple of hundred euros in that box.

It's a spoiler and you should enjoy the game ^-^

[oblique plover]

i would love to watch but i'm expecting a call from a colleague any minute now. 😫

i guess i better start progressing myself then and experience all that is to offer

[tough aspen]

I'm just throwing it out there, people sometimes join and ask if they're interrupting ^^

[tough aspen]

Yes! It's a huge world 😄

[median falcon]

the raids scare me though, i struggled enough with just the greydwarf raids idk how tough the future ones will be

[tough aspen]

Turn them off if they scare you, I have mine disabled sometimes if I'm just doing other stuff and don't wanna get interrupted 🙂

[median falcon]

I wont turn them off, theyre part of the experience

I want to at least play it all through on the normal difficulty before i do any changes

[tough aspen]

Make sure you build up some defences then ^^

ill probably do that, or i completely forget doing it and it comes back and bites me in the ass

i gotta know these studies xD

if its real LOL

[lone magnet]

I read it like decades ago, but by eating boogers you expose yourself to tons of microbes that your body can easily defeat and develop strategies to attack, so when u encounter that microbe in the future you are more likely to be able to fight it off without symptoms

[arctic torrent]

Depends on what version. Iron gate hosted a hard mode speed run comp last year

[lone magnet]

It's like the opposite of using Lysol on everything

Same reason I eat 3 day old pizza lol

[timid rampart]

Really? Interesting

[lone magnet]

Lysol results in weak immune systems, if you constantly sanitize everything

The moral is eat shit and don't die

its a slang for "hi"

[south condor]

yeah lol, as a free add-on

[proven dagger]

Put a baking tray in the fridge, till it is freezing cold.
Heat up the cream and add chocolate in a 1:1 ratio.
Make sure to continuously stir.
Add a pinch of chili powder, not flakes, powder.
Add a splash of rum, whiskey or cognac.
Mix it in well.
Get the baking tray out of the fridge.
Pour in the chocolate mix.
Scrape the chocolate off with a decent spatula so you get little cute rolls.
Arrange those on the table.

If you want to put in more work you can make a stencil and cut out shapes in the chocolate.
You'll need to use some kind of plastic though to pour the chocolate on so you can peel the plastic of the figures.

[drowsy imp]

Ooh, wew

Can the alcohol be optional there? I might make this

[dapper hedge]

sounds great, would also like to do it without alc, does it remain stable ?

Certainly, you can add orange, citron or lime zest and a bit of the juice.
If you rather like it sweeter, crush some strawberries or black berries and add that.
Like it crunchier add some crushed nuts.
You can forgo any extra liquid and just add a dash more cream if you like it to be a bit more runny.

[dapper hedge]

sounds like a pro Candyman/girl ^^

thank you, will note it

[drowsy imp]

Thanks for the tips~

[wide void]

cant stop thinking about food now, stayed away from instagram cause all iv liked and followed are chefs and food vloggers

[proven dagger]

Also fun to do:
Make sure you have a piping bag or a freezer bag with a small tip cut off.
Make sure you have ice cubes.

Melt chocolate and add whatever taste you want to it.
Put the ice cubes in a bowl and add water till the ice cubes are all covered but have little room to float around.
Put the melted chocolate in the piping bag and squirt the chocolate in the water, it will instantly harden and you can make shapes with it.

[scenic wing]

A chocolatier

[drowsy imp]

But are they haunted

[scenic wing]

Excited for that by the way lol

[drowsy imp]

Me tooo~

[proven dagger]

Want a chocolate bowl to serve ice cream in?
do this:
You need chocolate, a few water balloons, baking paper, some vegetable oil like sunflower oil (no olive oil), scotch tape and a needle

Blow up the water balloons, no water in it.
Put the baking paper on a flat surface.
Melt the chocolate with a dash of the oil, if you want to add flavor or crunch you can certainly do that.
Take a spoon and scoop out some melted chocolate.
Make a circle a few millimeters thick on the baking paper this will be your base for the bowl.
Dip a water balloon in the chocolate (not the knotted side of the balloon) and put that balloon on one of the circles you made.
Keep repeating till you have all the bowls you need.
Let the chocolate harden.
Put a tiny patch of scotch tape on the balloon and prick the scotch tape and the balloon with the needle carefully.
If done correctly the balloon shouldn't pop but should start deflating, wait till it is deflated and you can get it out of the bowl.
Now carefully remove the bowls from the baking paper, easiest is to cut the baking paper into pieces so you can get each bowl separate.

Nah, just someone that loves experimenting with food, drinks, chocolate and such.

[scenic wing]

Fair enough, personally I like making jams and jellies. I’ve actually thought about entering some competitions.

[proven dagger]

Also fun to do, the whole house smelling like strawberries or rhubarb and orange is so nice.

[wide void]

god i love the smell of oranges early in hte morning

[scenic wing]

I’d have to find it, but I have a ‘recipe’ for a really nice citrus and cinnamon scent that you can put on the stove. It’s very festive!

[proven dagger]

Got a radiator that starts working at a certain time in the morning?
Slice some oranges and dry them in the oven, put those on the radiator and you should have a faint orange scent the moment the radiator heats up.

[wide void]

sadly i dont, but i got a nanny back at home peeling oranges every morning will that work? xD

[proven dagger]

Just because of your last few posts "Will you marry me" ? 😄 @proven dagger that reads like a fairy tale with Willy Wonka

i am totally bad at confiserie, i can only grill or cook normally, plus i have a permanent tremor. what you wrote sounds really tasty ^^

[proven dagger]

Sorry I'm happily married and we will be celebrating our 12th anniversary around the 16th of April this year, by donning our wedding attire and eating at the same restaurant we booked for the festivities then and will be sleeping in the same room in the same hotel we stayed in after the festivities.

[oblique plover]

that sounds lovely!

[tough aspen]

I know right ;-;

[dapper hedge]

I wish you eternal love, sounds really great.

[proven dagger]

We are hoping for 80 years at least so we can celebrate our oaken marriage.
So far we only "skipped" the tradition 2 times, once because of covid and once since our twins were only 1 month old.

[tough aspen]

Omg and there's TWINS? You're living my dream!

[dapper hedge]

Twins now which one is who?

[hard iron]

My brother's twins are fraternal, it's not hard to tell 😉

[timid rampart]

When put your world modifier on 2x drop rates

[proven dagger]

I dearly love my kids but they are a handful, bot have ADHD, DCD and one has autism and the other strong autism tendencies.
Dyslexia probably as well, one more than the other but they are too young to get properly tested, they are on the waiting list to get tested though.

My wife and I are also getting tested for ADHD and autism since we both see a lot of our problems we had and still have in our kids.

[hard iron]

Been there. It can be rough, but learning coping skills really helps, and learning how different neurotypical people are can help a lot with external relationship issues. High functioning autism can be really frustrating for people who suffer from it because nobody else really understands that you don't "get" things the same way they do. Look into occupational therapy if you can, especially for the kid with the tendencies.

[tough aspen]

In terms of "composition" I guess, I always loved the idea of twins ^^ plus he makes hot choco, it's like a win-(t)win

[timid rampart]

ADHD and DCD even if diagnosed are not a real sentence, especially at a very young age, and can ultimately even result in some sort of an advantage, at least due to more conscious and attentive approach from you. I myself lost my only daughter due to ALS a year and a half ago with 4 long years spent together in medical institutions without any real hope before that. That's where you start to see real value in stuff even not that obvious for you earlier.
So i wish you to remain positive and continue to appreciate every day, every year of your family life together, as you've decribed a bit earlier! 80 years is not the limit;) there should be black metal marriage, eitr marriage, idk iggdrasil roots marriage and what not

im so glad i bought this game. This game rare gem in modern gaming

[umbral fog]

Lol I’m curious how you’ve earned the title ‘puncher of drakes’. I’m sure it’s self-explanatory, but I’m sure it’s a story.

[umbral fog]

not really, i was streaming, i was in the mountains taming and breeding wolfs (got 2 star, yay!) and drake came to visit 😄 i shot him with draugr fang and expected him to die but he had the tiniest bit of health left and he came down to me for some reason 😄 so i ended him as a viking should (Hyper was watching and gave me the name)

[analog glade]

It really is.

[scenic wing]

LOL congrats on the 2 star! A worthy death for the drake.

[thorny prawn]

modern gaming sucks for the most part

Idk I prefer it to like the old gaming of bomb sweeper and tetris and such. Not saying those were bad, but I prefer modern games

[thorny prawn]

2000s era is my favorite ps2 and 3

[untold night]

Gran Turismo 2 on the Playstation in 1999 was peak-console. Burnout: Paradise on PS3 came very close, but was thwarted because it was more expected than GT2.

[wide void]

i remember shadow fo the colossus back then

[tough aspen]

I have a ps1 shrine in my room

[crimson inlet]

GameCube ps2 and Xbox
That felt like the biggest jump

[untold night]

What does one sacrifice to a PS1 shrine?

[tough aspen]

Nothing it's just pretty

[wide void]

the soul of an innocent child perhaps

[ruby marsh]

Straight lines

[timid rampart]

Time

[crimson inlet]

N64 ps1 looked okay at the time but damn they barely have charm compared to consoles before it

[untold night]

That's not a shrine, it's an ornament.

[tough aspen]

did I say sacrificial?

[crimson inlet]

Ps1 specifically I wouldn't play now

CD technology was still too new

[tulip mauve]

ps2 still slaps today. Had a lot of fun games on there

[ruby marsh]

Ps1 really used lots of pre rendered backgrounds on RPGs

[crimson inlet]

Ps2 library is filled with hidden treasures

[tough aspen]

That's something a youngling would say

[untold night]

I want to say that 'pretty' is a stronger adjective towards an ornament, than 'shrine' is to a sacrifice, but I don't think I can support that. I concede. 😛

[tough aspen]

It's a shelf with ps1 stuff ^^

[crimson inlet]

But compared to Snes which is older

[wide void]

I remember having one of those sega consoles

[crimson inlet]

Snes still has charm today
PS1 ... Too many things wrong

N64, only the classics are incredible

[untold night]

I don't think Younglings are on PS consoles. They're limited to XBox. 😛

[crimson inlet]

I'll take the title youngling in stride

Even though I was playing Snes when n64 came out

Took a while until my brothers got off the n64

They'd be playing smash all day

[untold night]

Seriously though, wherever you find your joy is great! I had a younger cousin who's first console was a Sega Master System well into its obsolescence. She was thrilled with it, so we all just enjoy the opportunities afforded us.

[tough aspen]

Damn you really judgy

[untold night]

You managed to be less funny than SNL. Well done, that's quite the achievement.

lol

[thorny prawn]

i played gt 3 lots more splitscreen was so fun

[thorny prawn]

real

[untold night]

I miss split screen. It was great when LAN wasn't an option. There's something enjoyably intimate about being right next to the person you're trying to pwn!

I'm going to show my age, but one of the earliest multi-players experiences for me was playing Doom at a LAN with coax cables and terminator caps.

[tough aspen]

my first proper game was Wolfenstein

[untold night]

That's an intruiging statement... what does 'proper' mean?

[zealous anchor]

breaking news!
700k worth of fuel just got stolen in my country

[timid rampart]

And which of them?

[zealous anchor]

I remember playing a wolfenstein when i was a kid

[scenic wing]

What country?

[zealous anchor]

SWA neighbour of South africa

[tough aspen]

Like, game that wasn't very simple, dunno! Took 4 floppies to install for example

[timid rampart]

It was one of my first games as well. And i still love it nostalgically ofc

[untold night]

You're old enough for floppies? You're my people! I remember trying to play 'Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis' on my Amiga 500. I think it had 12 3.5" floppy discs.

[tough aspen]

Yesh, I'm old enough 🥲

[ruby marsh]

Still remember bards tale on those old computers. So much graph paper....

[lean fable]

I once wrote a report so big I needed TWO floppies for it

[snow forge]

Actual floppies or the 3.5 inch ones?

[lean fable]

i didnt know there was multiple types of floppies

[snow forge]

The 3.5 inch discs aren't particularly floppy (even though they're called floppy disks). :p

[zealous anchor]

Thats abig report
Not really but well
Floppies could take how much kb?

[snow forge]

8 inch floppies were, well, floppy.

[lean fable]

i was in 3rd grade so it felt huge

[zealous anchor]

Fair point lol

[timid rampart]

1.4

1.44 iirc

[snow forge]

yeah

[timid rampart]

There were 5.25" as well

[zealous anchor]

I never used floppies cause well i was probably way to young to be using them but i do remember playing with em and going through them

[snow forge]

I've still got a box of unused 3.5 inch ones in my box'o'stuff. :p

I suspect they will forever stay unused.

[zealous anchor]

I still have floppies upstairs in the unused room thats only for storage atm

[crimson inlet]

Ah yes, was 4th grade for me

[timid rampart]

Wait for the world to survive an apocalypse, then they would be expensive

[snow forge]

Keeping storage in the storage room, as is proper.

[crimson inlet]

They had little labels you can write on

💾

[zealous anchor]

I mean the entire save game icon thats shows up in most games is a floppie

[untold night]

Wait... are we talking 5.25" or 3.5" floppies?

[zealous anchor]

I hope the smaller ones

[crimson inlet]

I suspect it'll stay like that for a long time

[snow forge]

Clearly the bigger ones had more space, though. Stands to reason.

[zealous anchor]

Kids today cant even think what the icon means apart from saving the game

[untold night]

I never pegged you for a troll... 😛

[zealous anchor]

Poor third graders

[crimson inlet]

They were forcing us to memorize how much memory they had

Those bastards... 👊

[zealous anchor]

Probably easier than me having memorised every computer term in 8th grade

[wide void]

ahh yes 8th grade suvh a fun time that was

[snow forge]

I'm not old enough to have used 5"25' ones or 8" ones. :/

[crimson inlet]

I should have picked french over computer class

[zealous anchor]

I didnt even use the small ones
I just played with em

[crimson inlet]

Everything taught in computer class is obsolete

[wide void]

iv only seen them never really knew what they were for, the floppies

[zealous anchor]

I shouldve picked german foreign over computer class
Wouldve saved me so much

[snow forge]

learned about firewire as the new big thing in computer class in upper secondary.

[untold night]

I'm old enough to have learned 'Assembler' as a programming language in my tertiary education.

[crimson inlet]

Aye
We didn't know better

[snow forge]

Hah. I had both German and computer science classes. No need to choose!

[crimson inlet]

The hell is a pager anyway

[wide void]

you gutys have different language classes?

[snow forge]

We had to have a third language (beyond Norwegian and English) in upper secondary.

[wide void]

ahhh

[timid rampart]

I mean what type of alternative is it? German or computer classes?

[crimson inlet]

I'm trying to learn my 3rd, it's not easy

[snow forge]

I could choose between German, French and Spanish. Some schools offered other languages if they had teachers for it but those three were the common choices.

[vast patrol]

is it the same as curriculums?

Ok let me say this
3+ languages, I consider you high class

[wide void]

4th language, the other 2 is similar tho just have different wordings and stuff

[zealous anchor]

Wait so im low class?!

[crimson inlet]

Might have to add a rule to it too

They can't be similar

They have to be different enough
Who decides? My mood

[zealous anchor]

Isnt that just dialects?

[crimson inlet]

Well no

[timid rampart]

After the 3rd language it already doesn't matter that much

[crimson inlet]

I'd say like...

[wide void]

I couldve learned a 5th language, spanish but i didnt reach it, it was removed when i got to college. but i guess it still has similarities to my other 2 languages

[crimson inlet]

Hmm I'll have to think it through

[snow forge]

I speak Norwegian and English and a tiny bit of German, I understand a bit more German than I speak, and as a Norwegian I can understand Swedish and Danish just fine.

[crimson inlet]

But 3 languages us high class

BIG tip. don't try to write in non-english languages in our discord.
Auto-mod will catch and time out you 😄

[crimson inlet]

Can it detect gibberish

[tardy vale]

yes

[crimson inlet]

I want to try

[zealous anchor]

Spanish isnt even a language here for schools
its just english afrikaans German and the other languages from tribes

[tulip mauve]

Literally same except swap Danish and Norwegian and lower the German a bit

[crimson inlet]

How long is the timeout cus it's bed time

I can afford a timeout

[zealous anchor]

Afrkaans is extremely similar to dutch
almost like the people took insperation from it

[snow forge]

The trick is to use foreign language words that also are words in English. like ball and glass. :>

[wide void]

i wouldnt say dialect but we have borrowed some words. yes

afrikaans huh, pretty cool

[timid rampart]

I think you can't compose a sentence with those

[snow forge]

I have a safrican friend who speaks Afrikaans, he claims to understand Dutch fine most of the time, just some weird words and phrases.

[zealous anchor]

most of the afrikaans language is just dutch but clearler pronouncing

wait, that sounds very bad now that im reading it again

[tulip mauve]

Not sure how that relates

[zealous anchor]

relates to what?

[tulip mauve]

My message

[crimson inlet]

I'd need to have more time to fit in practice on my 3rd language

[snow forge]

Afrikaans and Dutch are very similar, like the Scandinavian languages.

[zealous anchor]

well since your talking about how those are simialr just swapping i said how Afrkaans is litterally just stolen dutch

[snow forge]

Probably more similar since they split much later

[timid rampart]

Also languages..;)

[wide void]

hmmm same as my language Tagalog and Spanish they are pretty similar as well

[tulip mauve]

Ah I see. I was confused because I thought you were grouping Danish Norwegian Swedish English Afrikaans and Dutch together somehow. I c now

[snow forge]

Tagalog is in the Philippines, right?

[wide void]

yep

[zealous anchor]

i speak 2 of those mentioned pluss german so... i only know how afrikaans is similar to dutch and i can understand some dutch words so i kinda understand 4?

doesnt the french alphabet have a bunch of letters that only exist for the sake of existing?

[robust needle]

We use the same alphabet as English?

[zealous anchor]

[crimson inlet]

I have no clue
I took french up until 3rd grade
Then came the choice
Computer or French

[wide void]

yea xD thats what iv noticed to some lol, i crack up sometimes xD

[crimson inlet]

I have no idea even why we learned french

[robust needle]

It's classy or something idk

[zealous anchor]

cause its the language of love?

[timid rampart]

To not understand computers

[crimson inlet]

They taught us about pagers and laser printers

[zealous anchor]

computers speak in ones and zeros.... so... french helps!

[robust needle]

I think learning the abses of other languages is useful tbh, but then again I'm a nerd that think elarning new things is cool so I might be baised

[crimson inlet]

But really, french is never used here anyway

[wide void]

i agree

[crimson inlet]

Learning Chinese or Urdu would have been better

Or Tagalog really

[wide void]

OH ACTUALLY back when i was in elementary i was thought Urdu xD

[undone patio]

chinese or spanish would have been useful yeah, they did offer spanish so lol

[crimson inlet]

It's the second or most spoken language right?

[robust needle]

somewhere in the top 3 for sure

[crimson inlet]

Urdu would have be real useful here in Dubai

[robust needle]

It kind is lol.
Also they kinda cheat. It's the whole metropolitan area's number, not the city itself. Should be 19th, right behind Brazzaville but above Marseille

[stiff quail]

It thinks this conversation is about languages spoken in Dubai. Did it get it right?

[robust needle]

I thought it was about what language we all speak and how many does it take to be high class

[stiff quail]

The AI got it wrong then, no surprise there

[snow forge]

Well, there's several ways to measure a city's number of inhabitants. Municipality borders is one, but I think the urban area is the "most correct".

[narrow crypt]

French is in decline, it is logical considering that there are no longer colonies in Africa and that English has replaced French.

[timid rampart]

No, it's about how Montreal appears to be larger than it really is

[stiff quail]

So what percentage of the population knows English, but lies and says they don't?

[snow forge]

Heh, apparently Mexico City is down to 5th biggest now. It was a clear number one when I was a kid.

[narrow crypt]

and the territories where French was spoken in America are already rather few and in addition we Hispanics lead the demographic regeneration of those areas, America is Hispanic

[timid rampart]

Also, whats the chances in the future to have different realms to like Asgard, and or Valhalla. Different realms would be cool as h***.

[rapid abyss]

I refuse to wait. I’m an addict, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. I need my Ashlands now. 😂

[lunar musk]

slim-none

[crimson inlet]

Technically none yeah
There's no info more than Ashlands and deepnorth

[rapid abyss]

I figured as much but hey. Just throwing out ideas. Never know if a a dev may see it and spark and idea for a future update project.

[rapid abyss]

But then again. It is still in beta isn’t it? So if that’s the case. Maybe just maybe. After fully released. Could potentially add on to a deeper level on the story line.

[crimson inlet]

Yeah but from what I know
Deepnorth marks the v1.0

[rapid abyss]

I really need to stop thinking so much. I have too many ideas. 🤷🏻‍♂️ right. Which means. Ideas for newer content and better ideas for future projects.

[crimson inlet]

Aye, if there's anything like that
It would be either another game, or dlc

I wouldn't put my hope in that 👀

[lunar musk]

we bounce ideas off each other a lot in here

[wide void]

Ping pong

[lunar musk]

but it's good to start out with the perspective that nothing will added

[rotund pewter]

Poor thing
He needs Valheim rehab 😅😋😉

[rapid abyss]

They can’t just give up. After 1.0. That’s a no no.

[lunar musk]

game is almost done and there's not much room now for new stuff

[rapid abyss]

Every time I close my eyes I dream of valheim. No bs.

[crimson inlet]

I mean I don't know
Wouldn't call it give up
I'd assume they just have this scope and then it's "done"

Can't have an indefinite project

[rapid abyss]

It’s never done my guy. Only just the beginning.

[lunar musk]

Ocean may get something

[rapid abyss]

Maybe after they finish what’s here. They can add on to more things. But I will say. Realms, newer animals, creatures to existing biomes. What they really need to think upon doing. Is doing a mod event. Bring in about 5 modders, give them a challenge to come up with so many given ideas. Whoever is highest rating, gets put in the game.

Which azumat / cookie milk, and many more have great ideas I know I would like to see some assets worked into the actual game.

[crimson inlet]

I suppose we'll see none of that until their main goal is done
Even then, I don't know the odds ✍️

[lunar musk]

Smiffe has said no new biomes/realms at least

[rapid abyss]

Very high odds. But hey. Never know unless you spark the ideas.

The game has endless potential. And possibilities. They want to keep it original and I respect it. But. At the end of the day. You sometimes have to bend that barrier.

[lunar musk]

indeed, and the game has already far surpassed the original envelope

[crimson inlet]

Endless ... 💀

Need more cash

[rapid abyss]

No doubt. Been playing for over a year now and still love it.

Get me down with the development team. I can help them make the cash.

Ideas flow for days trust me.

[crimson inlet]

✍️signing you up

[rapid abyss]

I wish. But unfortunately. They have bigger things and I’m a little fish in the ocean. And that’s okay.

[crimson inlet]

You should probably try enshrouded
I haven't played it yet but might strike some fancies

[rapid abyss]

Played it and honestly I really don’t like it.

Played pal world as well. Don’t like it neither.

[crimson inlet]

O damn
I was considering it but no time

[rapid abyss]

I have all the time in the world until I get enlisted. Once I get enlisted I won’t have time for anything much anymore.

I will say tho. Any development team watching over me like the crow in valheim. I’ll throw you ideas all day. Free of charge. 🫡

[crimson inlet]

Try suggestions

Although it's a... Yeah..

I had about 80 👍 but it's gone now

But I stopped looking at suggestions channel because I got peeved

[rapid abyss]

It’s hard to make suggestions whenever everyone has them.

[crimson inlet]

Couple of people who downvote every innocent suggestion

[rapid abyss]

A lot of them are overlooked. Because some are just too much. And then it just makes it hard for the good ideas to be noticed

[crimson inlet]

I only posted 2 there
Both gone

[rapid abyss]

Minor adjustments. May make a huge difference.

[crimson inlet]

My two suggestions were
Starred biomes (⭐⭐ Swamp)
And a description on how ocean could be a progression biome
But those were in the good ol days

[lunar musk]

if you zoom the map out there's room for more worlds, i'd love to see that but sadly looks like not in the scope for this game, perhaps some day

[crimson inlet]

But get them out of your mind
Post in suggestions

[rapid abyss]

Stared biomes meaning got harder? Almost like 1 star creatures.

[crimson inlet]

Aye that was the idea

[lunar musk]

or list them here and we'll say how many are ♻️ , on the NO list, or redundant xD

[rapid abyss]

That would be a great idea honestly

[crimson inlet]

It's been two years maybe I don't remember what I wrote
But basically
Harder but more resources

[rapid abyss]

More resources, more drops for trophies ect. Understandable

[lunar musk]

almost like world modifiers

[crimson inlet]

Because you'd always want to go back for old resources

[lunar musk]

could be a slider option ig

[crimson inlet]

And later in the game, these biomes can be blasted through but still take a while for resources

[rapid abyss]

Not going to lie or your friends worlds and or other servers. I believe teleport to different worlds would be great for that.

[crimson inlet]

You can just hop in their world anyway

That's how I show my friends my builds

I don't stream them
I make them join in the world and walk around "what's this, what's that"
Little tour

[rapid abyss]

Right. I believe the server limits should be higher than 10 because there are some streamers. That like to start a world and have their followers join.

[crimson inlet]

🤔 but that's not their aim to begin with

You should really try posting your favorite idea in suggestions and get it out of your system

[rapid abyss]

Think of it this way.

1 world per 1000 people
Or
1 world each for 1000 people

They want more people to feel the wrath and adventure. Multiple spawn points. Boom. Creatures, plus players to fight. Sheeeeeeesh.

[rapid abyss]

Ehh. I have too many ideas to count . I would get annoying to a lot of people.

[crimson inlet]

Eh, it's not their server
Go for it

[lunar musk]

valheim isn't designed to be an MMO and it won't go that route (the dev's)

[crimson inlet]

There's no rule against posting many suggestions
And the ones who get bothered don't matter

[lunar musk]

no but there is a cooldown on posting, you can't just post one after another

[crimson inlet]

So go nuts

[rapid abyss]

Understandable. But they do have the option to turn pvp on. So it could be.

[crimson inlet]

Don't get discouraged by... them 👿

[rapid abyss]

🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe 1 day when I have the gonads too.

[crimson inlet]

In my head, every idea is a good idea
Because it can spark a completely different idea

That's why I'm good at puzzles

[rapid abyss]

I’m good at pretty much everything. Except. Getting told I have sh*t ideas.

[lunar musk]

i agree that every idea is good, but we've had most of them by now, discussed, and ruled in/out

[rapid abyss]

🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll write down a few and throw them in there who know. Maybe just maybe. I may be able to get 1 or 5 things in a game I’m an addict too.

Just need to make sure it’s stuff that hasn’t been talked about before. And ruled out.

[crimson inlet]

There's always going to be someone that tells you it sucks

[lunar musk]

that will be difficult, since a lot of that info was wiped

[crimson inlet]

People can get blinded by their love for the game

Everything is perfect and nothing should change

[lunar musk]

before that it was a simple case of searching similar terms in the suggestion channel

[crimson inlet]

Which is fine if it was v1.0

[rapid abyss]

Right. But change is inevitable. Especially to things you love the most

[crimson inlet]

Some games can have that charm of their short comings
But that's only later
Not when it's actively in development

Like wow classic
So many things absolutely suck

It has charm now sure

[lunar musk]

i'd expect any major changes to be extremely limited at this point, they aren't going to reinvent the wheel when the game is not far from done

[crimson inlet]

You can get chastised for saying you don't like X about it
The reasoning becomes bogus

[rapid abyss]

But it’ll never be done because people will always want more.

If they are done after Ashlands. How could they ever make money from it.

[crimson inlet]

Like inventory

[rapid abyss]

Deep north *

[lunar musk]

the dev's have a plan to finish the game, once the biomes are all in that's it pretty much, some work on Ocean but no new realms/biomes

[crimson inlet]

Remember all the suggestions about having equipped gear into their own slots

I fail to imagine that all of these people are wrong
And a few diehards are right

[rapid abyss]

That’s a really great mod for sure they should incorporate into the game

[crimson inlet]

All my discussions about inventory also gone

[lunar musk]

i agree on this one, it's pretty standard in survival now to be able to toggle things like carry weight and turn them off altogether

[crimson inlet]

I don't want to get into it again

[rapid abyss]

That’s why I was speaking of them taking ideas from a few modders and incorporating their already designed assets in the game.

[crimson inlet]

I'll just say this final note about inventory
The amount of items that drop from one greydwarf brute

[lunar musk]

then add x3 to that xD

[crimson inlet]

No more inventory talk, I'm over it 🙊

[lunar musk]

and no extra slots/carry weight

[rapid abyss]

😂😂😭

[lunar musk]

it's a major bugbear rn

[rapid abyss]

Also 3 extra slots for food. Great idea. Instead of it being in inventory.

[crimson inlet]

All I ask is for an honest look at it

Meanwhile swimming can stay how it is, I don't care

We can joke about it years in the future when this game is classic

[rapid abyss]

I believe Vikings did swim though

[crimson inlet]

I'm sure they had level 5 swimming by the end of their journey

[rapid abyss]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Unfortunately. They didn’t make it far.

[rotund pewter]

Why are you swimming???
What’s wrong with your boat?!? 😂

[rapid abyss]

Serpents

[rotund pewter]

Riiiiiip

[rapid abyss]

My small boat couldn’t handle it in the ocean long enough is why

[lunar musk]

skill issue

[rotund pewter]

Funny story, my friend and I were delivering our first shipment of copper

[rapid abyss]

Pshhhhhhh okay maybe a skill issue

[rotund pewter]

A storm blew in as we set out in our karve.
We didn’t even need a serpent to wreck the trip 🤣
We just sailed straight into a giant wave which tipped our boat over backwards the way we came 😂

[rapid abyss]

First time I ever played. Before the world modifiers was added. 👀

Full boat of iron. Bottom of the serpent belly. Middle of the ocean with all my precious gear.

Never again.

[lunar musk]

oof

[rapid abyss]

Well another idea arose.

If you get attacked by a serpent. Boat or not. If they kill you or destroy your boat. Everything you had in boat including materials. I’m their belly. If you kill them. You get that stuff back.

[lunar musk]

the cargo crates should have been recoverable tho no?

[rapid abyss]

Idk where those dang things went. I never found them.

[crimson inlet]

5 tons of iron float in a box but scales sink

Just remembered that message, so double down on it not being realistic

[rapid abyss]

I just want a pet serpent and I want to name him bob.

[crimson inlet]

Eh, maybe they're airtight boxes
Very bouyant

Bob the serpent, can we wreck this?
Yes we can

[rapid abyss]

😂 oh no what have I done

More like tree trolls ffs. I’ve had so many issues of having to start a new house because of them mf.

[lunar musk]

you can make a moat around yr base full of them if you really want xD you just can't name them

[rapid abyss]

😒 I want to name a serpent and name him bob and feed him deer and boars

[crimson inlet]

That reminds me
I once tried to make a monster museum and have just one greyling work the counter

But they despawn

[lunar musk]

spawned ones don't xD

[rapid abyss]

I wish you could tame more creatures

I would get 3 greydwarfs and name them ed edd and eddy

[crimson inlet]

HAH

That's brilliant

[rapid abyss]

But nope. Stuck to naming boars pork chop and liver.

[crimson inlet]

Man I love Ed edd n Eddy too much
Even now

They're comedy gold

[rapid abyss]

Yeah I’m all 3 in 1

Pssshhh now I was a pet board 😒 and name him plank.

Well. Idk what I want anymore.

[crimson inlet]

Nothing stopping you
Plank was a savage

[lunar musk]

fishing could be vastly more enjoyable

worst fishing system in any game i've ever played that i can recall xD

[crimson inlet]

Couldn't agree more

I'd love to look at fishing statistics
I'm willing to bet that a huge portion of people skip fishing
Or try it once then never use it again

I restarted the game about 5 times
All playthroughs.. minimal or 0 fishing

[craggy moth]

Fish plenty of anglers. But I pretty much don't use the fishing system as intended at all.

[crimson inlet]

And it's not that great a source anymore

[lunar musk]

yeh i've done plenty and it's just not fun

[crimson inlet]

Before mistlands I think it was okay

Or before hearth and home

[craggy moth]

Before mistlands it was pointless

[crimson inlet]

Good stamina food

[craggy moth]

Or whenever pre-anglers

[crimson inlet]

Wasn't it 70 stamina?

[lunar musk]

other options were far less obnoxious xD

[craggy moth]

I forget. It technically had a place at the top of rankings somewhere. But I agree with TheMechanic.

Maybe it was the second best stamina food if you wanted 2x stamina?

[crimson inlet]

Something like that
But I'd say that now it's even less desirable in my opinion

[craggy moth]

What it's really game time, for me aspic, fnb, and one of the 30 minute HP foods.

Though fnb is pretty flimsy meta, I would totally get sticking with blood pudding.

[lunar musk]

Misthare supreme 🥰

[lunar musk]

for our group we stick on bread which is basically free, until we have a stock of fnb to go

[craggy moth]

I like the concept of misthare supreme, but it doesn't go far enough and providing a benefit over a 30 minute food in my opinion. And that gets even weirder when aspics and fnb are definitely the best.

Bread is fantastic for building or past biomes

[lunar musk]

i even forgive the tedious cooking methods to get it xD

[crimson inlet]

Salads are the most op

Best food in every aspect

[lunar musk]

never use it, i go fnb and mushroom omelette for top stam

[crimson inlet]

Fresh... ...
What is fnb I couldn't figure it out

[lunar musk]

fish n' bread

angler food

[crimson inlet]

Ah.. wait what?
I never came across that

💀 I skipped fishing that bad huh

Or is this something related to hildir

[lunar musk]

it's expensive needing anglers and bread but yeh, since Mistlands/fishing update

there's some random drops if you actually reel in and train it but the problem is it's far less convenient than simply picking up beached ones or ones that jump into yr boat, or parking on top and then spamming E to catch them, and the drop rates are so low you'd have to do nothing but fish the whole game to see any benefit and even then it'd be pretty minuscule compared to a player who never fished

and the baits are sometimes ridiculously expensive in the form of trophies that are rare and hard to get (serpent fenring)

far too arduous as is

a bit of tinkering and it could be fun again, i hope there's room somewhere along the line for a little attention for it

[craggy moth]

I know people love salad and omelets, but sitting here I can't even remember the recipes. I end up with other random junk food for when I'm not getting down to business.

[lunar musk]

need to breed chickens for the eggs and grow mushrooms

idk about salad

jotun puffs onions and cloudberries i'm reading

salad gives 80 stam, mushroom omelette 85, and fish n' bread 90

the eggs you get are literally going to waste if you aren't making mushroom omelette with them

(yes they make more chickens which is good for chicken dinners but you soon get to a point where you have an abundance of both)

[crimson inlet]

Yeah but salad just feels so free

[lunar musk]

if you don't want to fish it's a solid option

also if you aren't at the point of chicken farming

🫖

[craggy moth]

The other thing is, how much do you really care about an optimal building loadout? Either the base is safe from raids, and I'm with my primary and I'm with my top food loadout, or it's not, and I'm with whatever gives me enough hit points and stamina to survive some falling and make building stamina consumption tolerable.

I definitely eat plenty of random cooked meat for this reason.

[lunar musk]

until food stocks are stable it's whatever, but i use mine depending on the situation, if there's going to be a lot of transferring mats from chests or heavy building i'd use better food

in a group run time spent building is time wasted

you want it done asap so the group can focus on levelling skills and progressing

my group found that with all of us doing some of the base management and farming when the full group wasn't on, we had more room for exploration and adventure when we were all there

but you all have to be very focused and efficient to get a run prepared, and even then we could only manage like a boss attempt session per week

sometimes a bit longer

we completed the run within the 3 months we had for the server, Ashlands will probably be fine as well, but i worry about DN being do-able for a group in that time

hopefully we don't end up with a situation where we're buying 3 months of server time for 1 biome lol

I turn 18 soon, i fear having to do taxes one day lmao

[tardy vale]

you would need to download the thing, open it and then start it
but it's still scary with those links 😦

[plain thicket]

Depending where you live and your life it can be just clicking accept every year.
It gets usually more complicated if you own assets or need handouts for certain health things.

[oblique plover]

ah, taxes, am also doing mine atm. a nightmare.

[plain thicket]

Not sure when it happens. At least I can read Swedish now

However even with a house and mortgage I barely had to do anything last year

[oblique plover]

i was allowed to hand in my taxes voluntarily 4 years retroactively (not sure if that is the correct word for that!). and this year the tax office switched that with short notice to only one or two years, so two years are now surprisingly overdue and i only have 4 weeks to gather all documents. i'm bad at that, german burocracy is my worst nightmare.

[proven dagger]

A niece of my wife who is an accountant does our taxes for free.

[oblique plover]

i'm a member of an association where you pay a yearly contribution according to your income and someone of them do your taxes for you. but you still have to collect and hand in every single document and information they need for that.

had a wild ride with an asset management over the last years, which ended up in them saying i'm not who i am and withhold my money. unfortunately i still need some documents from them for my taxes but with them not giving out any information to me about my own money i wont see a chance of receiving them any time soon.

i'll throw a party when this chapter is closed 😅

[crimson inlet]

No income tax here

[mild moss]

I’m doing mine this weekend. If I remember

As a DN inhabitant i want ashlands be out now, not in the middle of summer. Can we please take it into consideration? Ashlands in winter, DN in summer.

[marsh sentinel]

Given that Ashlands is nearly complete and Deep North not started, I'd imagine no. Unless you're suggesting delaying Ashlands until Winter? (And whose Winter?)

[snow forge]

I don't think it would be fair to let Winter have the Ashlands all to herself.

But it looks fun, it did even at the stage of thinking everything through
