i'd live with it

[tepid peak]

You have no choice lmao

[iron basin]

i mean i don't have to have kids

but i'm willing to take the bad with the good

[tepid peak]

Kids are super cute but super frustrating sometimes

Definitely takes patience

[iron basin]

(i have a lot of patience i think i'd do pretty great)

[tepid peak]

I have a 6 , 3, and 2 year old

[iron basin]

oh lawd

[tepid peak]

Teen parent 😇😂

[iron basin]

aaa

my sympathies twin

[tepid peak]

I waited till 21 to have my 2nd tho

[iron basin]

oh no i think i'm older than you with no kids 😭 😢

[tepid peak]

24 lmao

I’m not too old yet

[torpid apex]

Valheim has a good mix of young to older. I've played with quite the varying range.

[frail pond]

My wife and I waited until we were 33 to have kids, she was getting her PHD and I was focused on saving up for a house.

[iron basin]

as an adult it shouldnt be weird but somehow still is when all the players are old

the pros: we're familiar with the muppets

[torpid apex]

In my Lancer TTRPG circle I am nearly the oldest at 29 most times.

Most players are recently 18 & the majority are barely hitting 25.

[iron basin]

going on 28

[torpid apex]

I just hit 29 myself last month.

[iron basin]

i'm not 28 i'm trying to confuse the algorithms

[torpid apex]

I've been playing Valheim since 2021 🙃

[slender marlin]

ah, fun times those 👴

[frail pond]

I work as a cook in a restaurant on the weekends, I only work with 18 year old students in university, it's nice when they ask what courses I'm taking as if I'm also some young person. 😅

[torpid apex]

Can't believe how quickly time passed from when I first joined here. Jeez louise.

[tepid peak]

As a mom of 3, I still get IDd for alcohol and it makes me happy

[torpid apex]

as a bartender, I have to ID even if you're covered in tattoos :P

[tepid peak]

I don’t go to bars but I think that’s law

[torpid apex]

Can't do anything until you look older than 40. Yep! The law

[storm anchor]

https://giphy.com/gifs/30-rock-sme-how-do-you-1Qdp4trljSkY8

Omni being like.

[torpid apex]

Once someone looks older than 40 I don't even have to ask if they're over 21.

[frail pond]

Self esteem boost strategy, go into every bar asking for a drink menu, then order nothing after they ID you.

[slender marlin]

when kids started talking to me with the "respect to olders" pronouns it was a sad day eheh

[torpid apex]

Which is why my dad told me if the servers don't card me I better double check the mirror.

[iron basin]

this is how i feel everywhere else

[tepid peak]

I’m 24 and grew up watching mash and Gillian’s island and the three stooges

[iron basin]

any muppets?

[tepid peak]

Of course

I even watched tales from the crypt

[iron basin]

sorry if i'm a little obsessed with the muppets

Who's Gillian? (just razzing) 🤭

[tranquil kernel]

Gonna climb the Matterhorn! But only after all our children are born! Cause I want to be a good mommy too, and I’m gonna always love yoouuu

[tepid peak]

I’m just in survival mode. Luckily I cook a lot and my kids all have their own rooms. Step 1 of 59737393833

Spoiled as heck though

The 2 yr old pooped and started banging on her door at 3am so I changed her and put her in my bed this morning. She almost kicked me off onto the floor

Gotta love them

Mamas bed is apparently way more comfortable

[tranquil kernel]

I only have dogs and a cat. But they still steal my spot in bed.

[tepid peak]

Basically the same amount of work imo

[tranquil kernel]

Kids are a bit more involved 😅

[tepid peak]

Still gotta train them tho

My 3 year old still hardly talks but only when he really wants something.

[storm anchor]

My younger one talked a lot as toddler, but her "speech" was very incoherent as there was not any words to understand.

[raw ether]

Those are nice too... but potatoes are from the americas, so the vikings wouldn't have them... they didn't bring any home when they were there.
Peru and Bolivia, specifically, so not even the continent the Vikings travelled to.

What a depressing thought... The vikings all disappeared before we had the potato in Europe

500 years after the age of vikings! 😱

[tepid peak]

It’s truly a shame we couldn’t acquire new Potatoe recipes from Vikings

All now are more modern

[worldly trench]

thats very similar to german "Reibeplätzchen" tho that is traditionally eaten with applesauce

[icy crystal]

Ew. Its 9am. Disgusting. 😡

On the bright side: Time to play Valheim 👏

[unborn quail]

Aren't potatoes from Ireland 🤔

Actually they originated in Peru

So from reading the latest news, i only have one question..... when deep north update?

[tepid peak]

I think we all can agree mine is really low

[crimson inlet]

It should be emoji rights at some point

Back in my days, anyone could

Happy Halloween

[tepid peak]

Thats why

[tardy vale]

please stop saying random stuff if you don't know things

[tepid peak]

Unneeded pressure

[raw ether]

What's the rush? We've almost waited two years since the Ashlands. We can wait two more.

[tepid peak]

Patience is virtue

[bronze gull]

Ok, sorry that this is my favorite game ever
I'm just loving to play the deep north update
It drops when it drops

[raw ether]

I was being ironic...

[tepid peak]

I just can’t wait for new furniture or building materials

[iron basin]

gollum stop seeking the ring

[bronze gull]

Ok sry mate 🥲 my bad

[raw ether]

No point speculating on when it drops. We've no hints at all yet that there is a plan for an imminent release, let alone a far off release. Just that it will come... eventually.

[hexed drift]

well, my steam library still got a few titles to play and this year is exam hell so my time is limited too

[raw ether]

I guess just be glad that you only had to pay an upfront fee instead of a running support on a platform like Patreon, or something

[tepid peak]

Look @tardy vale all I’m saying is us girlies need some cute headwear or a pink clothes 😮‍💨 I can atleast dream for now

[scenic wing]

Flametal helmet is pretty cute 🤔

[tepid peak]

It’s okay…

Not my cup of tea tho

[raw ether]

It's not a cup at all, actually. You wear it on your head.

[tepid peak]

Lmao

[unborn quail]

You can't really wear nice things bc you need to be wearing armor lol

[frosty walrus]

need to be?

[tepid peak]

A girl can save the world and be stylish 😮‍💨😭

I just feel like the armor is more male centered which makes sense really

[iron basin]

might i suggest you all try Hytale?

not on steam but still a gem

[vocal trout]

I've been playing Everwind non-stop the past few days.
A block game but with actual story and you build a flying ship etc.

[unkempt rampart]

technically it can be used as a cup

[scenic wing]

How is armor male centered? 🤔

[high atlas]

there supposed to be steel thongs providing “armor” like every other game?

[inland elbow]

vc

[tepid peak]

Umm 🤔 I’m just wanting a hair pin or pink cape for the most part

[storm anchor]

Those for males too. 👀

Equality.

[high atlas]

there’s lots of pretty hair options and clothes, yeah no pink capes… could be fun to have more cape options imo

[frail pond]

So the lack of such things means it is male centered? I always thought it was survival centered.

[high atlas]

i would wear one. what else do you really need to protect?

[tepid peak]

I think you are thinking too much into it lol

[frail pond]

I would say you didn't think enough into it. 👀

[storm anchor]

Bear and Vilebone armors are equally flashing for both males and female characters.

[tepid peak]

Woah be nice!😮‍💨

[high atlas]

every champion of odin needs a day off and they should have something comfortable to express themselves in, that’s fair. go complain to hildir maybe she has another chest somewhere

[tepid peak]

Yes like camp wear!

Thankyou!

[high atlas]

they are, my man-butt is just fully out cuz i dont waste inventory slots on capes

[frail pond]

I am, but also wanting to mention that viking armor was extremely progressive.

[high atlas]

there are some great female gowns at hildir’s, none of them are too your liking?

[tepid peak]

I get that but I think your pouring a little too much into what I said

Chat is being throw some energy bursts today

😭😂

[frail pond]

So you don't think it's male centered?

[vocal trout]

What is male centered??

[tepid peak]

Okay, starter stuff is butt cheeks for being girly. I just want to pick a flower and put it in my hair. Not everyone likes to grind and explore. All I’m saying is I want some cute fairly easy starter stuff and more cape options.

[frail pond]

They mentioned they think the armor is male centered.

[vocal trout]

I think the armor is pretty neutral, what is male centric about it?

[frail pond]

Midsummer crown is a thing

[vocal trout]

I don't think the games tone would allow for "girly" stuff.
For that you have mods 😄

[tepid peak]

I know but I prefer vanilla truly. That’s why I keep saying it’s whatever

[high atlas]

yeah theres literally a flower crown thats vanilla

[vocal trout]

Well... You can at least dress up in a red dress?

[tepid peak]

Isn’t the flower crown in July or June

Can’t remember

[vocal trout]

Set your clock to July/June

[high atlas]

yeah it’s somewhere mid-summer-ish XD

[tepid peak]

well I’ll just wait then 😮‍💨

[high atlas]

well until then, you have shawl dresses, simple dresses, beaded dresses, the blood of your enemies, all perfectly feminine things to wear

[scenic wing]

I get where you’re coming from Ripper, sounds like you want some cuter apparel generally speaking 🤔

[rugged forge]

Well, there ARE dresses in the game.

But no "sexy" modern stuff, no.

And that wouldn't fit, IMHO.

[scenic wing]

Yee, that’s true. But I don’t think they want “sexy” necessarily, but probably just some pink colors and flowers or something.

[rugged forge]

Which kinda exist. 🙂

[scenic wing]

I shouldn’t speak for them though

[high atlas]

cuz then youd have to make sexy boar hide vests for the men too, we have those tight troll leather pants already so no worries there

[scenic wing]

Pink Eitr Weave armor set 🤔

[rugged forge]

😄

[vocal trout]

Making a mod now that will be called GirlPower that adds padded bobs and all things girly.

[scenic wing]

I mean heck, the bear armor is topless

[rugged forge]

Hehe

Yeah, Valheim is no typical Manga skirts-high heels-big cleavage stuff.

[vocal trout]

It will be now

[scenic wing]

If I had to pick a direction though, would definitely opt to have generic armor styles over anything

[scenic wing]

I’m sure someone’s modded in Aela’s armor set into Valheim lol

[rugged forge]

Oh, I believe that!

I mean, there's mods with models from other games already.

[scenic wing]

I have to admit, the fashion in Skyrim was pretty solid 🤔

[vocal trout]

🌽

I've been going around on Twitch in Valheim streams asking Streamers where the corn is.

[scenic wing]

“Hey guys… anyone uhh… seen the corn?”

[vocal trout]

Most just say "there's CORN????"

[rugged forge]

Now I have to think of the band Korn. 😛

[vocal trout]

I love and hate corn

I wonder if DN will add new crops

DUH

LINGONBERRY

[scenic wing]

Sure hope so lol at least one

[rugged forge]

They already mentioned it, I think?

[scenic wing]

That’s more like a foragable 🤓

[rugged forge]

Tru

[vocal trout]

Oh yeah... Well maybe there's a chance for corn then.

[scenic wing]

My shot-in-the-dark guess is either apples or pumpkins.

[vocal trout]

Wow, I didn't know carrots loved cold climate.

[rugged forge]

I don't think they grow in the Mountains. 😉

[vocal trout]

rutabaga is my new favorite crop.

Bog witch vibes.

[rugged forge]

Bog witch, best NPC so far.

I love that hut.

[vocal trout]

Have you found the nut in the hut?

Its an easter egg

[scenic wing]

Bog witch is crazy cool content

[rugged forge]

Wut? A nut?

[vocal trout]

Yeah, a nut in the hut.

[rugged forge]

lol

Didn't know that.

[vocal trout]

It doesn't exist, just like the corn 😢

[rugged forge]

😄

"Have you found the nut in the hut"
"Wut, a nut?"
"Yeah, a nut in the hut."

[tardy vale]

Hm.. seems like discord is having issues with voice chats atm

[frosty walrus]

it's the best location because of george

[rugged forge]

😄

[vocal trout]

On mobile I can't even browser Discord, it just stays in "connecting" :S

[rugged forge]

Yeah, a friend on the WoW side of things is having issues with voice chat in Discord as well.

[tranquil kernel]

Corn and pumpkins are new world

[rugged forge]

So are potatoes. That's why they're not in Valheim. 🙂

[tranquil kernel]

Exactly! Thank you

It makes my anthropologist brain sad

[scenic wing]

Pumpkins are new world? Didn’t know that actually, fair enough 👍

[tardy vale]

potatoes came to europe from south america in.. 1600th?

1500?

[iron basin]

i think corn came from the americas as well

[scenic wing]

Potatoes used to be a craaaazy common suggestion lol. Back in the day.

[rugged forge]

16th century with spanish/portugese conquistadores I believe.

[tranquil kernel]

They reached Spain in the 1500sbut took a while to spread

[rugged forge]

Yep.

[iron basin]

does anyone here know when corn reached europe?

[vocal trout]

I remember one day where potatoes tried to take over my apartment

[rugged forge]

I honestly have no idea.

[tardy vale]

Corn (maize) arrived in Europe in the
late 15th century, shortly after Christopher Columbus's voyages to the New World. Columbus brought corn kernels back to Spain from the Caribbean around 1493–1496. From Spain, it quickly spread throughout the Mediterranean region during the early 1500s

[vocal trout]

I had bought a bag of potatoes and put it in the closet, forgot about it for like a year.
I then opened the closed and holy SHIT there was like a jungle in there.

[rugged forge]

Yeah, potatoes can thrive on anything.

[tardy vale]

now when did someone discover lemons? 😉

[rugged forge]

Ooh! Good question.

[violet belfry]

Got a pic?

[rugged forge]

They're mediterranean I think.

[tardy vale]

are they? 😉

[rugged forge]

I... think?

Near eastern?

[vocal trout]

No, I had to call the exterminators because the potato had become alive so it had to be killed 😢

[violet belfry]

rip

[tardy vale]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tEH6KlMlL4w

[rugged forge]

I mean, technically potatoes ARE alive. 🙂

[tardy vale]

mind blown, right?

[vocal trout]

Reminds of this time a friend showed me a green potato and was going to eat it.
I screamed PUT THAT POTATO DOWN

It almost got him.

[rugged forge]

That's a good one.

[iron basin]

how do you reel in fishing rod

[unkempt rampart]

Imagine the english telling the Irish "when life gives you potatoes" 😆

[tranquil kernel]

Lemons weren’t discovered, they were cultivated from wild citrus plants

[tardy vale]

left click?

[iron basin]

ok

i tried left click and got no fish

[tardy vale]

and prefearably run away from water to make it go faster

[iron basin]

but i'll be quickah

[rugged forge]

Ok, Citrus and Lemons are english terms. We just say Zitrone to both (I think).

[tranquil kernel]

Pre-16th century there was very little difference between oranges, lemons, and limes

[rugged forge]

Most likely, we cultivated the heck out of plants.

[tranquil kernel]

My thesis was gonna be on how the domestication of crops shaped early human civilization but grad school is not cheap 😭

[vocal trout]

When a plant loves another plant

[iron basin]

no how do you retrieve the fish

[rugged forge]

Fishing... is a chore in Valheim.

[atomic ravine]

What does it mean of my block bar is a the top

[tardy vale]

right click then?

it's one of them 😄

[rugged forge]

Pretty much the only one that is REALLY hard.

[tardy vale]

read the help bottom right corner

[rugged forge]

I never got it right. I just pick them up if they beach themselves.

[tranquil kernel]

Post-storm beachcombing delivers a wealth of seafood!

[rugged forge]

Yup.

Ok, gotta go. Bed is calling. Good night everybody! 👋

[iron basin]

okay. i remapped it to left shift

sorry... thanks

man.

how am i supposed to grab the fish

[tardy vale]

it needs to be up on land, and then click E

or just reel it in until it ends up on the end of your fishing line, and it goes into your inventory

[pearl valve]

xD

I'm asking for help for Spanish speakers because there's no place for them to chat during activities. The community is large, and we feel isolated. I've spoken with some moderators, and they don't seem to care. It's sad that they don't support different languages.

[scenic wing]

What would you like to see? 🤔
Could always start a community of Spanish speaking Valheim players with your own discord server!

[iron basin]

i think it escaped

[pearl valve]

I'd like to see people not rely on one person to have a community channel. Valheim should also create a space for that community because it's large. Why divide communities? When can the group be stronger?

[tardy vale]

So you want to unity the community by separate text channels.
I told you the reason in DM about trusted moderation for each language we would have to support.
And we would have to support multiple languages.

We have choosen the server language to be the international language english.
A language you clearly have no problem of using yourself.

[pearl valve]

Look for moderators here; there are many people who would like to support the server with a Spanish-language channel for the game they love to play.

[iron basin]

🤨

[tardy vale]

moderators needs to be trusted. you asked to be a spanish speaking moderator when you had 0 written lines in the server.
that doesn't us developers much confidence you can bear the responsibility of being a person who speaks on our behalf, who judge people fairly and don't throw things in peoples face as soon as you don't get what you want.

[pearl valve]

You're just looking for a reason to say it can't be done. It's unfortunate.

https://giphy.com/gifs/HOFER-AT-hofer-hofern-hofersong-Ti1dpOjRAGEbcf7cOG

[tardy vale]

it will not be done since it's not possible to add every single language to our server

[iron basin]

i think kamus is governed by ai

[scenic wing]

I mean, having no experience is a pretty solid reason 😅

[tardy vale]

when people apply for a job, they usually bring a resumé and some good reasons why they should be hired. backed up by things showing their claims are valid

[round sandal]

I would like to have a Tuvaluan moderator here, since we don't feel the support from your end to us 😢

Also a Czech 🇨🇿 Moderator would be useful.

😆

[tardy vale]

official language in Tuvalu is British english tho 🤔

[round sandal]

Yes, but we want the slang

[tardy vale]

ah

do you want a Czech beer with that?

[round sandal]

Yes, please

[tardy vale]

||for those who don't know. Krumpac bothers me in DM alot and I would probably give him a beer IRL if we meet up. he is a cool dude usually||

[round sandal]

Can we hire a Tuvalu translation for that ?

Jeez, imagine you have only 1% to support here

But also that can be very stressful

And we appreciate your work and the activity @tardy vale

Even if you get shit ton of stupid questions

[tranquil kernel]

You’re a good man Smiffe, preemptively warding off the mob

[merry badger]

I need the snow to shovel it

[tepid peak]

Don’t mind me, I’m just eating my popcorn 🍿

Unfortunately there is NO way that everyone can be happy. It just simply can’t be done so the next best thing to do is go with the majority. This group is 150,000+ people and unfortunately that means a lot of ground and people to cover. I can understand this issue at hand.

[tranquil kernel]

Honestly the only people that thte devs should worry about making happy are, the devs. They've done a great job so far and rushing through the final chapter just to pull a Game of Thrones on a beloved game isn't going to do any favors

[scenic wing]

Yep, agreed. As long as they make a game that they enjoy, others will find joy in it as well. You can inherently tell when someone puts passion into something.

[violet belfry]

Would be nice if Planet Crafter had that level of dev passion. It's been clunky and unpolished for a while now.

[crimson inlet]

I really dislike this statement and doesn't apply to any business
So bizarre

[fleet breach]

I feel that its weird with gaming, its both a work of art and a product. Makes sense from both sides, and can't really argue its just for art or fun when theres a price tag, needs of the buyer must also be met. But who else holds the authority over what the game is meant to be but the literal creator of the game?

Was that lowkey intellectual?

[tired harness]

Gaming is art.

Games made for the love of what is being made always out-do games that are made purely for money.

Gaming got shitty almost immediately when corpos took over an art medium.

[fleet breach]

Would you say a game made only for money would be like modern COD? Or Fifa?

[tired harness]

The line people seem to not understand is that not every game is for every one.

Don't like a game? MOVE THE FUCK ON TO ANY OF THE MILLION+ OTHER GAMES.
But no, people try to force games to change into what they think it should be.

That's the issue.

[tired harness]

Yes to both.

[unkempt rampart]

language!

[fleet breach]

I suppose thats true, and if there is a specific issue people have with valheim they can always just mod

These updates ARE taking awhile tho and its driving me coo coo

[unkempt rampart]

can't wait to shovel snow huh?

[tired harness]

🤢

[fleet breach]

Bro watch it be like accumulated snow keeps piling until it breaks the roof of whatever structure you're in

Viking invent magic heating pads!

[tired harness]

Zaph thinks that face was about snow 😏

[fleet breach]

Did i say the evil m word

[tired harness]

Indeed. 😛

[unkempt rampart]

you don't use mods?

[fleet breach]

I dont but I think modding is the best thing ever on any game (unless its cheating in a multi-player game)

[tired harness]

I will cut my own hands off before I do such a thing.

[unkempt rampart]

yeah depends on what it does relative to the game design, but there is a console and debugmode that lets you do way more than any mod, so its a mute point really

first mod I installed was wardislove, because the current wards are literally trolling

[tired harness]

If you're going deeper, I am going to recommend #mods-discussion 💛

[fleet breach]

Anti mod purist is something ive never seen before.... kinda crazy

Its fine just interesting

[unkempt rampart]

yeah I thought so... sev is always the one to put wrong channel on a modded screenshot 👮

[fleet breach]

Lmao I see, haven't been here in awhile so im unfamiliar

[tired harness]

Imagine following rules and putting things in the proper channel...
So difficult.
So much effort clicking a different word.

How could people ever?

Oth world problem.

[crimson inlet]

Games should be made by gamers that want to play the game

And of course, not be stubborn

Valheim can afford it because it already sold the copies 💀

So I really hate the idea of "ah yeah whatever makes the devs happy"

[fleet breach]

Last time the AAA industry did that COD's story was actually interesting

[tired harness]

World at War?

[frail pond]

So were just assuming the devs aren't gamers? 👀

[fleet breach]

Black ops 2 modern warfare 3 eras

[crimson inlet]

Yes, fine, that's what I said 🤓

[tired harness]

Eh. WaW was the last one I genuinely enjoyed.

Original zombies.

[fleet breach]

I agree it can be frustrating. But we are quite literally at their mercy, nothing we can do and pestering wont help (they'll find us.)

[frail pond]

You're not though, you can also make a game at any time.

[fleet breach]

Valhrim devs THREATEN to release an update!!

[crimson inlet]

Irongate never misses

[tired harness]

Technically is a threat to mod people since it breaks their game 😂

My favorite part of update day. 😁

[fleet breach]

Not at their mercy in updating valheim? Unfortunately that is the case because I cant make games (tho I wanna learn eventually !!) And I dont own the game

Like no hate to the devs

I love them

Im being respectful (I hope...)

[vocal trout]

You don't own Valheim?

[tired harness]

You do hate them. Or you would own the game.

[fleet breach]

Yeah unfortunately

[vocal trout]

Why not?

[frail pond]

Yes, you're confusing being lucky enough to experience an original creation with being at it's mercy.

[fleet breach]

Loot boxes would be huge

[crimson inlet]

That would make the devs so happy 🤩

[fleet breach]

Can a man in love also not be at the mercy of his lover? ⛷️ 🗣️

[tired harness]

If they add loot boxes, like 80% of players would either outright ignore them or revert their install and never update.

[crimson inlet]

You know what would make them happier, more money

[fleet breach]

I do own the game lmaoo

Im no larper

[tired harness]

So why did you say you didn't?

[fleet breach]

Wdym?

[crimson inlet]

So that's why I don't like that statement being out in the wild 🤓

[fleet breach]

Did i mistype?

[frail pond]

I suppose, but that'd imply an imbalanced power dynamic, where unlike a relationship, you do have options outside of your dynamic with Valheim.

[crimson inlet]

Now this conversation is spiraling into nothing

[tired harness]

"And I don't own the game"

[crimson inlet]

But it's to be expected 🔮 as always

[frail pond]

Blues sure does complain, this block function works like a charm

[fleet breach]

Oh thats my bad, I meant like I dont have ownership over the direction of the game, im not a dev or manager

Which if I was, I dont think id do too well

[tired harness]

If I owned game, I would give Smiffe a day off.
He works too hard 😭

[vocal trout]

What, do you own it or not

[crimson inlet]

☝️ cute

[frail pond]

Smiffe works on their days off too to be fair 😅

[tired harness]

He owns his personal copy. Not the game itself in its entirety.

Like he doesn't own the IP of the game.

[vocal trout]

Oh I was ready to gift

But good to know

[unkempt rampart]

what did everyone get for spring sale?

[fleet breach]

I appreciate that, im sure the devs would appreciate an extra buy too

[crimson inlet]

Almost baldurs gate
Got crimson desert instead

[tired harness]

If you know they are complaining, I would say you aren't blocking properly as you still seem to be reading 😂

[vocal trout]

I just started Crimson Desert up for the first time since I bought it on release haha

[tired harness]

How is Modded Skyrim: Repackaged and Resold? 😏

[crimson inlet]

I spent 5 hours greeting everyone basically

[frail pond]

Oh it's just anytime I let curiosity win, but it's typically the same stuff written differently.

[frail pond]

Nothing 🙁
Saving up for repainting my new house.

[fleet breach]

Nice, mines a nice dark blue and white trimming

[violet sedge]

😭

[tired harness]

Like at Walmart?

[fleet breach]

Embed...FAILURE.

[frail pond]

We're doing sunset/ocean/seaweed vibes.

[fleet breach]

Oh for sure

[unkempt rampart]

I just got fired so I'm kinda doing the same 😩

[tired harness]

SOS vibes? 😬

Hidden message in the paint?

[frail pond]

Absolutely, I want to be saved when at home.

[fleet breach]

Thatd be interesting to see

[frail pond]

I will do a before and after, I will set a reminder to send you some pics!

[fleet breach]

Nice

[frail pond]

The "Bookmark Message" function has been getting some use out of me lately on discord. It is pretty handy.

'morgenGjall🥱 🤌

[tardy vale]

Morgen gjall 👋

[hidden glade]

Mornin

[umbral fog]

Mornin gjall 😄

[tough aspen]

yall get the urge to play some specific seed but then i dont remember what seed or what char it was

[tardy vale]

I wish we had some hidden or special named seeds that creates some specific types of map

[tough aspen]

no i enjoy not knowing

just sometimes i think of a speicifc location i wanna visit in my head but then i dont remember where it is

[slender marlin]

i have to turn off raids if i pause playing for, say, a week... map, poi, and storage order mix up very easily between chars/seeds, old age?

[tough aspen]

i have my chars/seeds written down

but this ONE location... i think its a nomap seed actually

Fuck it lets go find it (sorry for the fbomb smiffy)

[storm anchor]

Similarly how Minecraft/Terraria have some specific unique seeds?

[crimson inlet]

big big rain

[storm anchor]

I name my worlds and their characters bit similarly so I remember. For example if my character name is Ragnar then the world name will be similar, like Ragnarok.

[tough aspen]

well I do-do that but only as of late, so..

the older ones didnt get that privilege

ok found my nomap nopants run first try but that's not the one I WANT

[storm anchor]

Yeah I have some exceptions, like co-op worlds and characters.

[tough aspen]

this time I'm writing them down

[storm anchor]

No pants yayy.

[tough aspen]

it's a fun run! No pants no map (its been so long Ive forgotten the map probably)

I do remember sailing to find the Elder and ending up in Mistlands somehow lmao

[blissful minnow]

But what if hes not?

[frosty walrus]

it never generates naturally but valheim allows multiple biomes to overlap the same space, we need a seed that makes every biome cover the world

[storm anchor]

I remember some of those adventures you shared.

[storm anchor]

Sorry, I don't understand question.

[blissful minnow]

😂😂 "Ragnarok", but what if hes not ok? "Ragnarsnotok"?
☕️☕️☕️

[storm anchor]

Ah.

Sorry, little slow this morning.

[blissful minnow]

I just had like 2 days amount of coffee in 1 hour

[slender marlin]

funny names with spoof movies / other games etc. references is my fav

[storm anchor]

And I should get more very soon.

[slender marlin]

waiterrr pls! there's a hole in my coffee mug

[tough aspen]

OK i found the seed and char

Bunbun-Bunworld (yeah idk)

[slender marlin]

sounds like "jumping only no walking" challenge

[tough aspen]

i dont remember what modifiers she has, i think maybe hard combat

she still has xmas decor from 2 years ago

ok for Derek's sake I'll stop the play-to-play

[rare lodge]

I hope we can make berry pies in the Deep North. Or meat with berries sauce. 🍒🥧🍖

[slender marlin]

well something with new berries is literally confirmed, free space for imagination
-# edit: news literally say ||"several.. ..recipes" so good chanche we'll get both||

[tardy vale]

don't know those sadly

but like. RINGWORLD would produce a world that is 100% each biome in a ring, and then water between each ring

for example

or PANGEA would make a super island with all biomes in a single island and no need for boats at all

[tough aspen]

ringworld was the website of my teenage years ;-;

(was about the ring fandom)

ok ill stop being unrelatable

[nova umbra]

whats a ring fandom

[proven dagger]

One ring to bring them all together and fan about ringworld or so I presume.

[vocal trout]

SALMON IS ALIVE!!!!!

[tough aspen]

no not lotr ive not seen it

[rugged stag]

yet*

[slender marlin]

yeh long time no see!

[storm anchor]

LoTR mentioned and bees became happy.

[rugged stag]

I only said Yet* lmao

point me to the excitement

[tough aspen]

i feel like people here are having their own separate conversations nowadays, disconnected from every other reply

[rugged stag]

omg same!

-# Psrtly the reason I lurk - not enough braincells to read multiple convos with their own codes

[proven dagger]

I've always had seperate conversations with me, myself and I.
No one can follow those they make zero sense to anyone but them.

[vocal trout]

Huh, not noticed any multiple conversations

Although I check in a little here and there so I probably miss

[slender marlin]

nah me neither, just some usual overlap, i was about not seeing Judge writing from ages, lotr is secondary

[tough aspen]

ok but what about "salmon"

[vocal trout]

Well that was just me making the same typo to your name I originally did.

Samaramon*

[tough aspen]

so your alive reaction was to me not kamap?

[vocal trout]

I saw you here and was like holy shit you're alive

[slender marlin]

oh i tought was some nickname for Kamap unknow to me... very well, yeh on second thought it's all a bit messy, but whatever

[proven dagger]

I've mostly been lurking, got more responsibilities at work so can't really be active on here anymore during work hours.
After work I'm doing so much other things than being on discord that I haven't got the time then either.

Working on book 3 at the moment, book 2 is with the illustrator.

[tough aspen]

but i type here regularly? i talked yesterday too D:

[vocal trout]

Oh really! Must have been really unluckly to always get on when I don't see you haha

[slender marlin]

very good! nice to see old gang sometimes, gl on your commitments so

[proven dagger]

True, I'll be more active when the next big update hits and I do a replay but it will die down later on probably.

[slender marlin]

if ym the server, yeh, i hope not ofc, but probably slow down at least

[proven dagger]

I meant my activeness here ^^

Goodbye gjall, got to go, don't know when I'll be back again.

[rugged stag]

Nope

chat is confusing

[slender marlin]

all considered, yes

[nova umbra]

kinda brave to admit it publicly

🫣

[slender marlin]

#general's side quests completed tho, we can focus on lotr now, see?

[slender marlin]

trying convince her is useless tho, just to keep on topic "we have no power here"

[tough aspen]

why, its a movie

[nova umbra]

well

then read the books

😌

worth it

[slender marlin]

yeh i know, it's 6 books, 3 movies, a huge lore, how many? 5/6 full languages? made from scratch and having all different alphabet, yeh it's huge

[nova umbra]

but still my most fav is Space Trilogy from Lewis

[slender marlin]

yep, trusted on that, never been there, but i know is one of my bro's fav sci-fi books, totally trust his taste

Okay I am up… sort of

[coral cedar]

Depending on your definition of "soon."

[subtle creek]

Is the most recent news of the PS5 edition still just the announcement of it?

[real hill]

It is in relativity and perception alone that soon is defined

[slender marlin]

Yes but we're at now now, everything that happens now is happening now

[burnt rain]

Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.

[coral cedar]

Someone of refined taste, I see.

[slender marlin]

And impatiently waiting for June '27, or was it July?

[burnt rain]

Yes. Some time in 2027. After 1.0 mos def

[slender marlin]

Being 100yo and finishing movies (filming confirmed done) that's magic

[tough aspen]

hey remember when i thought planting 400 onions for the pink flowers was a good idea and now my fps is tanked cuz of the 40k instances yeah good times

[burnt rain]

Time to get rtx5090

[tough aspen]

for valheim?

[burnt rain]

For onions

You can rent one for like 37 cents per hour. I played about 2000 hours .. that's still cheaper than its price now

[tough aspen]

id rather play with 3 fps

[slender marlin]

Time for Valheim to be the most demanding fav game for the next 20ys (for Diablo 2, AoE2, Half Life and Homeworld it worked), and ofc for onions

[tough aspen]

not valheims fault i abuse it

[slender marlin]

Well everyone has weaknesses, i abuse putting beams

[tough aspen]

i was just using beams in your honor

[past moth]

GUYS

HELP

[scarlet kernel]

One has infinite replay ability the other is hunt showdown

Your lose if you do

[coral cedar]

You will find we are slightly biased toward Valheim.

[tough aspen]

did you ask the hunt discord the same question

[past moth]

no

i gave u guys the chance

[crimson inlet]

I was going to say buy both, but then looked at hunt showdown
if you buy hunt showdown, i'll lock your wallet

[tough aspen]

well i have thousands of hours in valheim and never heard of the hunt game so im very biased

[past moth]

erm i just did 💔 ...

[past moth]

cant blame u

valheim is cool asf

but u need to be like super active

[crimson inlet]

you're not allowed to have money anymore 💂

[past moth]

ill get a refund and buy valheim if that helps

[tough aspen]

On the contrary, you can play, then not play for months, the game will wait

[crimson inlet]

I'm joking though, but that game looked like snoresville but 60% off

[slender marlin]

yep, nothing spoils, everything is on your save and not online-server-dependant, big pauses do no harm and very slow gaming pace even when active is totally fine (and mostly choosen i would guess)

[past moth]

yess but ur friends wont

[slender marlin]

friends come and go, Valheim stays

[tough aspen]

solo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>friends

[slender marlin]

nah it's not that sad

[past moth]

do u still keep the items u farm from solo if u join other servers

[tough aspen]

Yes, they stay on your character

[past moth]

nicee

[slender marlin]

world and character are separate saves, yours, and totally interchangable/mixable be it off or online, that's very handy

[iron basin]

i just caught my first fish

how do i turn it into cookable meat?

[waxen oak]

Food prep table

[slender marlin]

what game stage are you in?

[iron basin]

i havent beat the elder yet

[slender marlin]

ok so it's early, you'll need post-elder materials to craft the proper station

[iron basin]

darn

[slender marlin]

yeh, easy times those before the bog witch update eheh

keep them all tho, fish meat is fine, but unprocessed fish may turn useful in the future as wel

and close to it anyway, it's small amount of just-post-elder mats

💡 fish-prep-table for fish meat and baits: black forest mats and maybe a thinghy from haldor (won't suggest but would upvote)

[tardy vale]

💡 Add a #suggestions channel

[slender marlin]

eheh, i know, but very restraintful about suggestions myself (my discord-yearly-wrap number 1 undisputed reaction was 👎 )

[tardy vale]

@restive bramble you need to write in English only, even in the #1024264966712340510 channels

Oh my, Happy birthday and happy swinging your axe for another year Joel! 🎂

No worries at all one year older again, not the first time, and hopefully not the last time

hullo warriors of the 10th realm

[misty mica]

so how exactly can I DM modmail? I got an account messaging me and Im 100% sure it would lead to a scam

I dont see a button to DM it anywhere

[rain portal]

Super early in the game. I’m still on the first island. Level 3 crafting station and just started farming copper and tin. My question is where should I be building my base? Like as in what should I be looking for that should be around me?
Like the ocean? The Black Forest? Open flat land? Haha any help would be appreciated thanks guys.

[misty mica]

first base can be in the meadows
a flat area can help if you want your builds to look flat
ocean access can be good since you will need to go out into the ocean for sure later in the game

[rain portal]

Thanks mate

[waxen oak]

At the top theres a search bar on the left go to members and look for modmail

[kind niche]

youll be building multipl bases so ur first one lowkey dosent matter

but defensible terrain against raids its always good

if u are a true viking you make your own defensible terrain though

[unborn quail]

Techcnially any meadows is good. But I'd recommend it be nearish a black forest, as you'll end up running back and forth there for materials a lot. Also a swamp land on the same continent would be nice so you don't have to sail iron back to your base before you can make anything but that is a bit later game stuff

[tardy vale]

Just right click modmail and choose message ☺️

[main sonnet]

See.

That's what happens when you play Valheim for too long and fall asleep at your keyboard.

[slender marlin]

eheh, sry left discord open and keyboard too close

Yeah, I don't care about the mattress, I can just buy a new one but I lost some precious Cola to the mattress.

I just wanted to smack one of my cats butt and this is what I get

But yeah, I love Sweden and the little town I live in.

Been living here since 2007 in my cave apartment and will never move

[vocal trout]

Nice, get a gun and protect your land like a true redneck

[crimson inlet]

Stay classy, use an axe

[vocal trout]

Haha if I moved to the countryside I would have set up barbed wire and cameras everywhere.

Damn, I would LOVE to live in the middle of nowhere as long as I had fast internet.

[crimson inlet]

That's the real luxury really

[tardy vale]

I use starlink and get great internet over there

stop giving me more un-nessessary work

[opal harbor]

Hello, me and my group were running server on nitrado, we kinda finished the main content that was available so we decided to shut down the server on nitrado. I downloaded the db and fwl files from the nitrado but minor problem is that all the file names were named 'dedicated'. So I renamed it to the server name that we had but when I check the singleplayer world list it shows as 'DEDICATED (THE NAME I PUT)'. The name... being in the brackets. Any way to remove the 'dedicated' part front of it or should I just ignore it and it does not affect anything at all?

[rugged forge]

Ignore it. It doesn't affect anything (other than the name).

[opal harbor]

Thanks.

[gray crypt]

Morgen gjall

[tardy vale]

the servers filename is set when you create a server. I don't think that is available when you make one with a 3rd party host like nitrado

[jaunty zinc]

Good morning

After streaming the game I finally decided to join the discord lol

[rain portal]

lets say im at base at meadows and i want to know where are the black forest that i have already explored on my map are. there is no difference is there to showcase what part is black forest and what part is meadows i assume. cause i cant see a difference on the map.

[tranquil kernel]

There is a slight difference. Forest is a darker shade of green on the map

[rain portal]

thanks mate

[tranquil kernel]

You can also mouse over areas on the map and it will identify what biome the area is, in case you’re unsure

[rain portal]

OMG YOUR RIGHT. i lowkey forgot to try that even though i was hinted at something like that. your def right! this helped a lot right here!

[tough aspen]

it will turn second nature eventually

[tepid peak]

I can hear the meadows music in my sleep at this point

[plucky sundial]

it's on my 'play this during a panic attack' playlist

[tepid peak]

So accurate

[plucky sundial]

literally me not wanting to progress past the meadows ever

i do it but i don't like it

[crimson inlet]

and miss out on plains and ocean? 😱

[plucky sundial]

plains is butts

[fast trout]

After adventures in other biomes, that music starting always makes me feel like I'm almost home.

[crimson inlet]

oof, it's the best, maybe

[plucky sundial]

i wanna get isekaied into valheim but just the meadows forever nothing else

just me and my boar meat

[iron basin]

i want to get isekai'ed into minecraft

[vocal trout]

You would become shallow as a puddle

[tired harness]

I have no idea what being ikea'd means.

[trim rose]

me too I just laugh so I won't look weird

[tranquil kernel]

Isekai = genre of manga/anime where the protagonist is transported from their mundane lives into a fantastical world

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court for a literary example

[trim rose]

ohh isekai'd not ikea'd

meow generally

[tired harness]

Why are there multiple versions of this concept when perfection is as simple as "I want to be a cat."?

[regal vector]

would you rather be isekai'd into Valheim or Vinland Saga

[coral cedar]

Valheim.

[tardy vale]

neither

[coral cedar]

Not going to embrace the hypothetical?

[hexed drift]

the point is that by modern standards both giga suck

[coral cedar]

At least I don't need to pay rent in Valheim.

[hexed drift]

you also cant escape it

[frosty walrus]

valheim has necks!!

[coral cedar]

Not like I can escape Earth, either, so not much of a point to be made there. That's also largely the point of isekais.

[hexed drift]

well, technically you can but its not recommended

[unkempt rampart]

you don't know that

[trim rose]

would you be isekai'd to the space as a cat?

[hexed drift]

valheim? unless you pull a kratos you are kinda stuck

[regal vector]

you must choose :)

[trim rose]

meow

[frosty walrus]

catapult + feather cape out of there

[tardy vale]

absolutly not

the cat + zeroG... infinite spin

[trim rose]

i really had the spin issue on mind , but thought you'd adapt as an engineer

[tardy vale]

<-- not a engineer

[trim rose]

you're a network engineer tho

[tardy vale]

in sweden, it's not any kind of engineer tho

[unkempt rampart]

its an entrance exam for valhalla, its assumed that you will leave

[tardy vale]

Network Technician

*Magician as some people call it

[hexed drift]

practicing the foulest of magicks

[trim rose]

it's under the engineering college soooo meow

[unkempt rampart]

its definately a form a engineering

[tardy vale]

is programming engineering?

[trim rose]

yuh under IT which is a profession you choose after the first year of engineering college

[unkempt rampart]

computer engineering is hardware, software engineering is ... software.

[tardy vale]

everything seems to be engineering

[hexed drift]

for the yanks it is, for the euros it aint

[trim rose]

meow

[coral cedar]

Being an engineer sounds cool, so yeah.

[hexed drift]

thats how yanks roll, yes
they call it facility manager, we call it janitor

[trim rose]

i thought of getting a cat in a space suit then launching it into space and taking pics of it, I'm sick of AI

[unkempt rampart]

custodial engineer

[coral cedar]

Need to give it a more special title to get people to actually do it. I'm not saying it's not a bad practice, by the way. We Americans have some issues we need to deal with, but this isn't the place to get into that in any detail.

[trim rose]

i like how my watching machine is playing god of war instruments

[hexed drift]

its just an extension of how everything has to be awesome or great
mildly annoying for normal people

[coral cedar]

Yes, it is.

"Mildly" also undersells how annoying it is, said as a normal person.

[unkempt rampart]

I feel it was a product of the millennial generation: being addicted to exclusivity and group psychology.

[hexed drift]

annoyance is relative, if the dutch did that we'd invade them to stop that

[trim rose]

i thought these activities only exist in older movies

[hexed drift]

In the geological timescale maybe

Anything in the next 10000 years is fast to a rock 🪨

[tired harness]

[short yew]

Y'all didn't get the memo that #memes-and-clips includes mods or do you just enjoy being a buzzkill

[tough aspen]

who are you talking to

isn't this chat 2 days ago

[crimson inlet]

No way

Smiffe removed their reactions and they put it back

[crimson inlet]

I don't know if I'm ready for the reactions to appear tomorrow, one could only dream 🔮

[short yew]

Yep

The level of pettiness is truly astounding

[tough aspen]

why does it bother you

[short yew]

I that if I see on others' posts I might skip em and look at other stuff. Kinda ruins it for those of us who like to share our fun

@tardy vale maybe there should be a separate channel for all the mod haters

[tardy vale]

like #mods-screenshots ?

[short yew]

That's for mods screenshots specifically

[tardy vale]

I could stop people from using emotes 🤔

[short yew]

On the contrary

I think we all like to get some appreciation on our clips and stuff

[tough aspen]

2 out of the 10 people that go to memes and clips emoted it doesnt warrant a new channel creation

[tired harness]

Guess it has to be renamed to "modded-media" if we want it to be all-inclusive 😏😏

[short yew]

Nah

That wouldn't include vanilla

Just don't make up rules that aren't written on the channel 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know you think video games are an art that must be respected

But that includes mods actually

[tired harness]

Nope. 🙃

Taking someone else's entire work and then just changing 1% of it before presentation is not art. It's... school project mooching.

[nova locust]

send modders to prison

[short yew]

What presentation?

It's a single player game

You enjoy playing vanilla, good for you... And btw it's not a finished product anyway

[tired harness]

I need to medicate before Rain bops me.
💊

[short yew]

And the devs aren't offended by people adding mods to their game. Quite the contrary.

[nova locust]

thats why its up to us

[short yew]

Yep

[nova locust]

to get the modders into little cages

Caw, caw!

[tired harness]

Nerd emotes are unnecessarily rude...

[nova locust]

heheheheh

thats why they are funny

[vocal trout]

Making a mod to put modders into cages right now.
Filthy modders, defiling such a pure innocent game like Valheim!

[violet belfry]

I initially had that opinion of Valheim mods, but now there's a few little QoL ones that I can't live without

[short yew]

It's like going to a restaurant and getting offended on the chef's part because someone on another table added some salt and pepper to their own dish

[violet belfry]

Nice analogy ☝️

[short yew]

Same. I don't feel the need to heavily mod the game. Only a few QoL fixes. I'm sure many of these mods will anyway become a feature in vanilla. It's still a work in progress after all.

[violet belfry]

Auto repair is one I can't live without. Pressing that button again and again when at a workbench gets old real quick

[short yew]

This is one of those things I don't mind doing lol

It's part of the immersion

[violet belfry]

I tried putting up with it but it just got tiring.

[vocal trout]

Some words in the English language are just sus.

[violet belfry]

Which ones?

[tranquil kernel]

perspicacious

[umbral fog]

Especially the word sustainable 😏

[vocal trout]

Analogy, like really?

[violet belfry]

Hahahaha

Well there's also analyze, analysis

[short yew]

Lol

[violet belfry]

Remember there's "Fartkontroll" and "Max fart" in Swedish

[short yew]

Yeah Swedish is fr funny

[nova locust]

how dare they !!!! 💢

now that im aware theres salt, i have to choose to use salt or not
maybe it will be better with salt
maybe it will ruin the food
maybe the salt will make the table catch fire
i dunno i cant deal with this

i thought i was gonna be able to compare my experience with others, but turns out they salted a lot and got sick, i didnt even see a list of salt choices before i played

[violet belfry]

Sus domesticus

[unkempt rampart]

wish we had a "he's right you know" emote, maybe a greyling with a stupid look on its face, and its finger pointing upward like the morgan freeman meme ☝️ 🥴

[violet belfry]

You could always make one and ask the mods to add it

[unkempt rampart]

yeah they'd probably ignore me or something

[violet belfry]

[tired harness]

Eh, it's more buying a movie and then using AI to replace an actor you didn't like instead of... accepting the movie.
Or buying a book and, before reading it, going online to download other people's custom chapters and ripping out chapters you don't agree with instead of... accepting the book.

[short yew]

Or maybe it's like... Hear me out... Playing a video game? It's the one thing that should never be taken seriously. The sole purpose of it is to have fun

Let people play with the most silly mods, who cares

[tired harness]

I do?

I am not stopping anyone from playing their own way 🤷‍♂️

[unkempt rampart]

a🍿

[short yew]

Yes but why would you care anyway? Once someone buys the game it's theirs and they can do whatever they want

[tired harness]

Let's talk about skill balance 😏

[frail pond]

Mods during early access are going to effect feedback, make bug reports untrustworthy, and potentially corrupt files. I encourage players to wait to utilize mods actively because of this. If you want to influence change in gameplay, early access is the time to do it.

[frail pond]

That's what is for.

[short yew]

Well... There also too many missing features because of it

Making it borderline unplayable for some of us

[scenic wing]

Borderline unplayable? 🤔

Do you feel that way @short yew ?
(Lol @ fail)

[short yew]

Yes

[scenic wing]

What makes you feel that way? Anything in particular?

[short yew]

Like not having armour slots for example

[scenic wing]

If you already stated it above I apologize

[short yew]

And the way portals work. Modding that improved my experience of the game a lot

Not everyone likes having to build a whole portal hub with tens of portals

And being able to plant berry bushes and other things

Making berry runs a secondary thing and not having to do that all the time when wanting to focus on other things

[tired harness]

Why would you build 10's of portals?

[short yew]

Maybe not tens but quite a few, I personally find it a bit cluttery. Having one portal in my base that can access all the rest is great

And being able to go to any portal from any portal

Just makes more sense

[unkempt rampart]

2 base portals, one to the hub, one unset 💯

[tired harness]

You... can already go to any portal from any portal?
That's exactly how I play the game.

[short yew]

Otherwise it's endless loading screens and it gets super tedious

[short yew]

Yeah but it's much quicker without the tags

[scenic wing]

Gotcha, thanks for the answer

Yeah, I honestly think some of the things you mentioned make a lot of sense and could definitely have a place in vanilla. I don’t find the game to be borderline unplayable, but there’s certainly some tweaks that could be made that could really enhance the experience.

[short yew]

Just smalls things like that make everything much more smooth and convenient

[tired harness]

So having to type... is where you draw the line for "unplayable"?

[short yew]

Not just about having to type but every portal needs another portal

[unborn torrent]

not really

[vagrant turret]

Just make it a "Stargate" where you type the address in for one of your portals.

[short yew]

Sure I can do that. Then again I can just install a mod that makes it a little more optimised.

[tired harness]

"Smallest amount of effort inconveniences my fun." Is the first mile marker on the road to "Why play at all when GameGPT can just play it for me?"

🤷‍♂️

[vagrant turret]

It's Valheim, it's supposed to be a little antiquated. If you can't remember the addresses, put up some signs by your Stargate portal.

[vocal trout]

Damn, people on each side really get offended huh.

[vagrant turret]

Everyone can play in the way they best feel most comfortable. If making an ollama macro is your gig, more power to ya.

[scenic wing]

I typically don’t use mods (with one exception) but I don’t have anything against them. I think it’s impressive that people can make them, personally 🤔

[violet belfry]

I think it's remarkable how so many modders can have way more talent than multi million dollar studios.

[tired harness]

I read this as "Obama macro" and I needed that giggle 😂

[tired harness]

-# So much talent involved when 90%+ of the work was done for you by studios...

[vagrant turret]

I need a macro that can teleport me to wherever portal I'm thinking.

[scenic wing]

I think this is because there are some mod makers that have a very high level of talent and passion for something they love, and it’s indeed pretty remarkable. So many Skyrim mods for example that are pretty much entire expansions, for example.

[vagrant turret]

What was the that location again? It's been so long, I forgot I was even there and built a fortress.

[short yew]

Skyrim is one example why mods are one of the best things that happened to gaming

[scenic wing]

Or take Minecraft for example- tons of insane mods made by truly passionate individuals/teams.

to be clear, I think Irongate is extremely talented and passionate as well, and I believe Valheim ti be a much better game than a lot of ‘high budget games.’

[vocal trout]

Who knows, maybe they will add official support.

[short yew]

I also understand the whole nostalgia with the cosy retro pixelated graphics but I think some of us actually like modern graphics more. And it shouldn't be such a big deal to accommodate that

[vocal trout]

They can't offer two styles though.

[burnt rain]

That's cause you never played Barony

[scenic wing]

Wicked good game 👀

Recognize my profile pic? Lol

[tired harness]

Counterpoint: there are millions of other games with "modern" graphics.
So why force this one to change when you can simply... play one of those?

[short yew]

Because I don't have to force anything. There are modders who create mods and that's great 👍

[burnt rain]

Ahhhhh .. sneaky

[tired harness]

That's forcing...

[scenic wing]

Keep an eye out for the statues in the tutorial garden 😉

[short yew]

Forcing what? On whom?

[tired harness]

sigh

[short yew]

I'm modding my game.

Doesn't affect your experience or anyone else's.

[vocal trout]

Yeah it does! Knowing you mod your game and defile IronGates vision ruins my experience!

Leave IronGate alone!

[tired harness]

Let me try it from this angle:
Have you seen the new DLSS5 ai "upscaling"?

If yes: opinion?

[vocal trout]

You're aware the devs themselves implement it right?

[violet belfry]

Looks horrible. I haven't seen too many examples though.

[short yew]

Some of it looks great and very realistic. Some like slop

I think AI can be used to make great things. And it also increases the value of more authentic creations.

[tired harness]

Yeah I'm going to note to never discuss mods with you again.
I genuinely respect your opinion on them, and it is completely valid.
But you and I will never agree on this.

I am happy you have found your way to have fun.

[vocal trout]

Oh no, a differing opinion, call the cops.

[tired harness]

How in the literal FUCK is that your conclusion from what I just said?

[violet belfry]

Let's all be nice, kids.

[tepid peak]

What the heck did I miss? It’s just a game guys

A good game but a game nonetheless

[vocal trout]

Don't you see, the game is being defiled in front of our eyes.

[tired harness]

I respected, validated, and supported an opinion I don't agree with.
And they are making it out like I cannot handle opposing opinions...

[vocal trout]

You can't though.

[tired harness]

Literally what just happened...

[tepid peak]

Guys let’s just settle down. The convo is done. No need to defile chat anymore either with bickering that could be done is private DMs

[unkempt rampart]

these yellow names are fiesty lol

[tepid peak]

Yea we need a moderator in here but they aren’t always available

[tired harness]

As you said, it is done. Moving on.

[violet belfry]

The purple ones can be even more so lol

[tepid peak]

Now how is everyone’s night? I’m drinking and playing on the pc

[tired harness]

Work for another hour.

56 minutes, but no one is counting 😏

[short yew]

I personally can discuss anything forever until one side agrees but that's just me lol. If the other side is no longer insterested I don't see any reason to push it.

[tepid peak]

We are talking about our day now

[violet belfry]

Smiffe went ballistic at me the other day because he misunderstood something I said. Was crazy

[tepid peak]

He’s under a lot of pressure 😮‍💨

[unkempt rampart]

doesn't sound very smiffy

[tired harness]

We just hit a point where neither person is ever changing their views on it. So for the sake of efficiency, I make a mental note to just nod and move on instead of deeply engaging on the topic.

[tepid peak]

Anyone got and food recommendations?

[violet belfry]

Definitely took me by surprise

[tired harness]

55 minutes.

[tepid peak]

Seem eager

[violet belfry]

He apologised once he worked out he was wrong though

[tired harness]

🤷‍♂️ work part of work is done, so now it is a bunch of sitting.

Hospitals get rather slow after 9 p.m. or so.

[tepid peak]

Listen to a podcasts or show. I spent 3 hours today listening to Norse mythology

I swear it makes time go by fast

[tired harness]

Earbuds not allowed 😉

[tepid peak]

Ugh but makes sense

I see people jamming out to music all the time in the OR but I don’t know you’re position

[tired harness]

Don't think you want the emergency room nurse station filled with people who have earbuds in 😂

[tepid peak]

But would it make them less bitchy?

😂😭

[tired harness]

Only bitchy if you... modded your body

[tepid peak]

The occasional foreign object surprise
