Yes, bees are edible, though they are not commonly consumed in most Western diets. The most commonly eaten parts are bee larvae and pupae, which are considered a delicacy in many cultures, especially in Southeast Asia, Africa, and parts of Latin America. These are often described as having a nutty, buttery, or mushroom-like flavor and are rich i...

#

If you play just remember, lawful good is best good

mental summit
mental summit
#

But if you want a real answer, there has been some debate on law/chaos axis of things, but I think a friend of mine described it best: law is rigid, neutral is fluid, chaos is spontaneous, none is better than the other, I could say law is the stupidest since they make legal systems that lawful evil types like devils can twist the language and intent of, but they all come with their own upsides and downsides

peak folio
#

Alignment systems tend to have a lot of problems

mental summit
#

Oh absolutely see above, but as a framework for beginners it’s fine

peak folio
#

Beginners get really confused with it. croajirokek

#

Trying to explain lawful as in… law.. and order while chaotic are for people who lean toward anarchist… so many people just don’t grasp that.

#

So many just think it’s like Good Good or Bad Good or Good Bad even though that is not how that works

tranquil obsidian
#

good; you do it for others
neutral; you do it because you can/want to
evil; you do it for yourself

lawful; the rules say so
neutral; i dont care what the rules are
chaotic; screw the rules

#

the common trap is more people thinking that characters are "locked" into their alignment.

its completely normal for a lawful good character to do a neutral good act; just dont stray too far from your "core" alignment

night plume
#

Especially if you are a paladin xD

peak folio
#

Lawful also can favor a set of rules that are different from the regime in place.

#

Paladins are pretty intense

#

Think crusaders

mental summit
#

Law isn’t exactly “law” all the time, it also has to do with a personal code, like Batman with his no killing rule (fault of the author most of the time when he is breaking this rule), likewise chaos isn’t always anarchy, it’s just you don’t take structure or hierarchies into consideration over doing what your heart tells you is right, like goku is one of the poster children of chaotic good

glad needle
tranquil obsidian
#

yeah; its whatever "rules" you prescribe to

night plume
#

I love playing cleric

mental summit
#

And yeah paladins do totally help destroy evil regimes if it conflicts with their personal code

Edit: note I said IF it conflicts with their personal code, if it doesn’t conflict they’re more than happy to sit on a lawn chair sipping a coconut drink while the evil regime continues slavery or whatever, as long as order is maintained for the greater good, for some of them at least

tranquil obsidian
#

in 3.5, monks were required to be lawful because they had to follow their monk code

mental summit
#

Yeah same way in my game, pathfinder 1e which was an extension of 3.5, paladins (unless you were using a special archetype, think subclass) always had to be lawful good, but even the NPC codex gave examples of paladins who would totally be at odds with a good aligned adventuring party, like bullying or arrogance or being on the verge of being a fallen paladin

solid sun
#

alone Miroku from Inuyasha is a prime example of Sinful Monk

tranquil obsidian
#

im not talking about inuyasha

mental summit
#

Yeah they changed it in later editions, realizing forcing characters into alignments was way too restrictive from a roleplay perspective

Though I feel it should still be respected in some regards. You’re playing an assassin who mercilessly kills anyone as long as you’re paid? And you want to be good alignment? Ok you better have one hell of a good backstory as to why you’re currently good alignment, and that continuing to take levels in the evil kill anyone class does not, in fact, make you evil.

i heard something with orcs but not sure what they actually did

was a lot of drama and stuff got confusing as to what they actually did versus what people claimed they did

All I heard was paladins can now smite with guns or something now

i remember the monkey race got removed for "potential racial problems". then pathfinder added a monkey race like a month later =p

# solid sun you mean how they telephoned the pinkertons?

No, iirc they sent pinkertons to intimidate a guy who got a pack of magic the gathering cards a day early or something

I’m talking about the open game license thing, where basically fan made stuff for d&d now belongs to WotC, and you need to pay them a fee if you want to make up your own homebrew, and they tried changing the license that protected these fan projects

It failed due to public backlash and mass cancellations of their subscription service, but I’ve heard rumors that they’re trying to silently implement it now, not that I’m playing d&d anymore except irl with friends once a month, I prefer pathfinder much more

Steam workshop came in just the nick of time it seems

Also that palworld VR looks dope, maybe enough time on the steam workshop with the eventual steam frame (at a reasonable price) would make it a super easy click and play experience

#

I kinda wanna see a Nexomon X Palworld collab tbh, both have similar styles of humour

#

maybe when part 3 launches where they go full 3d

solid sun
#

looking forward to the next game, the 2nd one is already super fun. the changes to engagement during combat and capture are fantastic.

barren sierra
#

As much as I like what they did to terraria colab turning the 2d creations into 3d, its lot less hassle to imagine when you have a fully 3d rendered model to work with as a concept

#

Il be honest I didn't know there was a second part till I just looked at steam a moment ago

#

Which means..I got another creature capture to sink my teeth into

solid sun
#

the first one is fun, and so is the second one, the self-aware and right on the nose humor makes these games super charming, the setup for the story is also really well done, you can really never know what to expect.

I barely played trough nexomon myself, I got maybe ~1 hour of gameplay

One of my favorite cat moments is still when my sister was making food in the kitchen. Her cat laid at the boundary line begging for food. He knew not to step foot across that boundary line.
Then, my sister moved, her foot went over the boundary.

The cat ran up her leg, across her shoulds, down her arm, grabbed the food, ran back up the arm, across the shoulders, down part of the leg and jumped.

My sister yelled at me for not doing something and all I could say was, "he didn't step foot across the boundary."

I honestly have no clue why people say that microsoft killed minecraft, the only issue I personally have with it is that for some reason they want parity between java and MS version and nobody really wants that, and all that has been changed lately has been detrimental to java instead of opening more potential, see lightbulb blocks for example not being on a half tick or w/e it was, and then there was another thing recently that I forgot.

tranquil obsidian
#

Hytale it is then

solid sun
#

I don't see any reason for me to buy hytale at this stage, because I have no idea if it's actually being worked on and into what direction.

#

it might just become another cube world

tranquil obsidian
#

yeah, it does have the impression of starting over from scratch .-.

#

but they did push an update literally 3 days after launch so thats probably a good sign

#

cube world was unfortunate

solid sun
#

they say they have funding for a few years of dev. But what's the direction long term, I'll give another opinion a year or two into development tbh.

#

also minecraft for the average person, has not changed at all.

#

the stuff I mentioned about lightbulbs, that's some advanced redstone stuff.

#

not used at all in the average redstone construction for a simple task.

#

Also also, every game has that 'wow new game' feeling at the start, everything is new and shiny.
But every game also has that point in the game when you know everything about it, and start to do small optimisation on many things, you look at how ideal farming is done, what are good setups for things, and then you either love the loop it has, or are enough creatively inclined to build many things (which should not be at all different from minecraft in that regard, sure other graphics and blocks, but that's a stretch for a reason to choose on over the other), or it just is the next skyrim and just works.

glad needle
solid sun
#

again, that's just baseless accusation

#

zinc depot

Its not bad, its just average

#

It had huge potential, notch simply abandoned it

teal iron
#

i mean when he made a dimension called "The END" made of ENDer stone, filled with ENDermen, where you fight the ENDer dragon, and enter the END portal and see the ENDing, we probably should've taken a hint that hey I think this guy doesn't want to work on this game anymore

#

that's why we don't get much new content
Minecraft is over
It ended, with the end, it has reached finality, and Mojang and Microsoft are like beating the dead horse and trying to cram new stuff in the cracks

solid sun
#

I mean if it was finished, why do so many people still play a game that is over.
The thing about minecraft is that it's all about creativity and howw you want to play it.

If you don't want to play it, that's your way of playing it, but buying hytale to play more minecraft is just weird.

mental summit
# glad needle These ones were downright diabolical with a mouse that trespassed into their hiv...

Yeah, there’s far worse in nature, spiders usually keep their prey alive but paralyzed to make them last longer for feeding, the tarantula hawk wasp paralyzes the tarantula, lays its eggs inside, and drags it into a burrow where it can’t even have the hope of being mercifully killed or eaten by something else

Meanwhile, you’re upset that the bees excercised their second amendment rights by defending their home, and instead of destroying even more of their home trying to get the intruder out, they decide to mummify it so it doesn’t stink up the place or get in the way of anything else

#

I thought you would’ve liked bees, given they’re literally an order and everything

teal iron
#

but like, minecraft structurally cannot really add new content

#

This is immensely to hytale's benefit, as they do not need to work within the confines of what minecraft has established for itself

#

Minecraft is a game of twister that has progressed for a very long time and they cannot just touch another yellow circle without snapping in half and making people upset

teal iron

#

I mean technically speaking, there is nothing that makes the end dimension untouchable by the current owners of the IP

teal iron
#

Why would you add a whole entire dimension just as a side excursion

solid sun
#

I don't think at this point minecraft needs to follow progression linearly, progressing laterally is fine too.

#

just some area to get a new block palette from, do combat or w/e.

teal iron
#

I mean, why would they pay people to spend years working on something that could never be sold as DLC because the crowds will eat them alive

solid sun
teal iron
#

Minecraft is incredibly popular but it isn't going to sell another 30 million copies anytime soon, because there simply aren't 30 million people who want it and don't have it

#

the game we paid for only includes the dragon

#

If we want more, we'd need to make and buy another game

#

which is...exactly what microsoft and mojang have been trying to do

#

make, and sell, other games

solid sun
#

what?

#

you lost me there

tranquil obsidian
#

minecraft dungeons for example

#

and storymode

solid sun
#

yeah, but they do not matter in the context of minecraft itself.
They are spin-off games, it's like saying Deep Rock Galactic is dead because the devs made an ARPG spin-off there too with the same IP name.

#

just because a spin-off game is made doesn't mean anything for the origintal title.

teal iron
#

I'm not saying minecraft is DEAD, I'm saying there's a reason they aren't adding AETHER 2 💥💥 and END 2 💥💥💥💥 and instead just tacking on a new block or two to existing stuff
Well, the reason they're not making Aether 2 is because they have SOME respect for the devs and wouldn't steal their ideas so casually

tranquil obsidian
#

it sounds like the issue is that the game feels like it ended, and the devs should probably focus their efforts on moving on than animating a corpse.

teal iron
#

I think Mojang is still largely in control of the general creative decisions for the game, or at least there isn't much conflict between what they want and what microsoft wants

solid sun
#

the MS version was obviously done for more monetary incentive to keep paying for the dev costs, but I am not affected of having to play that version of minecraft.

teal iron
#

It's just that minecraft as a game is kinda complete, and they're mostly adding new stuff because "why not"
Now you could argue microsoft has dragged that wayyyyy farther than it needs to, but if Mojang WANTED to make a huge, game-changing update that adds a ton of new content, they would do it

#

I mean, they have introduced some pretty huge updates under Microsoft, such as caves and cliffs, the nether update, etc

#

but they clearly don't want to alter progression, or anything like that

#

Go into mojang and ask for a new tier of tool and you will be thrown out of the building, they don't want to make that

#

well, you'd probably be thrown out of the building regardless
Trespassing is a crime and all that

solid sun
#

like why are the terraria devs still updating terraria with things, the game's been done and beaten a bunch of times.

teal iron
#

Well I think relogic is just addicted

#

They've CLAIMED that the past 3 updates were the last update, for real this time guys, promise

solid sun
#

they were thinking at some point about terraria 2, but canned that idea.

teal iron
#

Mojang is kind of in a similar state but they have a giant tech corporation pointing a gun at them and saying "no, the game is still going"

#

Except Mojang clearly does want to work on other projects, because they DO work on other projects

solid sun
#

look at payday 2, and how payday 3 fell into the water, and now the current owners of the payday IP have paid off some ex-modders/slash game devs that used the same engine as payday 2 to fix payday 2 and maybe later down the road potentially add more content to it.

#

I'm just grateful for every minecraft update I do get still, but I wouldn't mind if they just stopped either.

I usually build in specific ways, but lately not really felt anything, and not really felt I can do good builds anymore.
So I just stopped playing, haven't even been too that freaky forest biome they added a bit ago.

Spicy broth is great for aggressively cleaning out your head, throat, and possibly your colon

#

Even moreso when it involves a little vinegar

night plume

The spice is great for stuffy/runny nose.

If not a spice person, you can do minty teas, brewed herbs(like thyme), put your head over a bowl of hot water and cover with a towel to breath the steam(you can't stay in the shower all day)

#

If you don't have a vaporizer, putting a small bit of the vapor mixture into metal oil burners with some water(the ones with candlesz not electric) is great.

@junior canyon Hey there, I'm Existing Phase on reddit, and I'm working on a revolutionary system that basically creates digital consciousness in NPCs. I really like Palworld, and am currently looking for work, despite not having any degrees in a specific field, I've been working on this system for nearly five months with promising results, I'd be more than happy to share a few of the logs with some of the Genmeta so you can get a better idea of the level I work at, but it's up to you.
My main focus is the thoroughness, theories of digital soul (mind, body, soul/spirit, perception, qualia) and expanding what was previously thought possible. Included is a way to vastly increase the amount of possible biodiversity through a fusion system, and proposed recombinant where by more elemental types, subtypes, dual, triple, and even quad types of elements, as well as limb placement, perception, and NPC/player as well as NPC/NPC and NPC/environment interaction depth increase substantially.

I realize the amount of messages and notifications you get is crazy, but I promise you, I'm not as crazy as my reddit posts make me seem to be.

No, I'm not trolling, this is something I've been working on for a while now, inspired by tron, AI, and a few other movies... but... I dunno. I keep questioning my self on this, whether its better to give the system ot someone else or develop it into a platform for job creation, game development andi nnovation and a few other things... but I'd like to aks you all something. What was a goal you had at one point that you thought impossible to reach, only because others told you so? Did you continue to explore it? or were those goals redirected?

I invented an amazing snack cup as a kid. I put 2 cups together and made a place for a straw. The purpose was to have the drink in the bottom cup and a snack in the top. This would make children happy (I was the oldest and had a bunch of baby cousins). I thought it was brilliant and was so proud of it.

EVERYONE told me it was stupid and wouldn't sell.

I'm actively working on workshopping the name.... I realize the connotations and fears associated with using anything that implies artificial. But... i also find it ironic that the people who decry AI are creating AI systems for NPCs and and lauding how fun the games are... but... there in lies the balance, right? Players and creators want to be in control yet they want a deeper level of interaction that maintains that balance. And I've specifically designed my system to work with, not overwrite the users creativity

Dearies, we are going to make sibgle serve mug cakes. This is great for that day when you and your little angel are sitting down and chatting. So get your favorite mugs and lets get to it.

Now, in a mixing bowl, you want to add 1 large egg, 1/4 cup of sugar, and don't worry if you add a little more, you are just making the cake as sweet as you are. 2 TBSP of unsweeted cocoa powder, not your chocolate milk powder you hear? 1 TBSP of vegetable oil. Melt 2 TBSP of butter in one of youd mugs and pour that in the mixing bowl. Now a dash of that vanilla extract goodness, or 1/8 of a teaspoon for those who measure. Stir well. Add your 3 tablespoons of cow juice and stir once again. Stirring at these steps makes it easier and it lets the grandkids help. Now we add the flour, about 1/4 of a cup, and you know what to do next, that's right! stir, stir, stir!
Pour the mixture between the 2 mugs and microwave for 45 seconds and then enjoy your delicious mug cake.

(Best I can do)

The leaves falling... well, in the high desert, I don't notice them as much... the winds here are too strong, so everything tends to be blown away before you notice them. Back in sanjose? When I was a kid walking to Oak Grove? there'd be piles of them around fire hydrants and the curbs of sidewalks where the frequent rainy days would sweep them into the gutters. The pale reds, yellows and golden oranges of the leaves would catch my attention for bit. Nothing like the smells of fresh leaves, and noticing the small bug bits at the corners of them.
I used to pick them up and look at them walking to Davis Minor, good times.
