They sometimes avoid hunting or fishing or both.

Not all have issues separating rl actions from game ones though

[mental plank]

yeah you need to run more often around kilima.

[mental plank]

Hmmm, okay, thanks for the answer.

[round sluice]

I know there are some who play. I've also seen someone (claim they were going to) quit, because of all the hunting
My general guess is they don't find it as cozy as those of us who don't think that way

[solar hedge]

Eve, i hope i dont offend, but your area speaks french right? It will help me translate quicker.

[mental plank]

Yeah... I understand both side tbh. But.... yeah definitly, they prolly hate lot of games for huntings or fishing skills lol

[round sluice]

Likely true. That particular time, I ran all the way from...
Addendum: I also caught a Princess this way, but had forgotten
... Maji Market entrance to the stone arch, past the Boathouse, then past the farm, into town

[mental plank]

Yeah, and nope, im not offended at all xD Im from Belgium, french talking part.

[rain thicket]

Use buzzy jars right when the time changes to morning/day/evening/night whenever. That seems to be the luckiest time to find rare bugs with a buzzy jar! Honey lures USED to be way better I think. We would at least get one rare one every lure. Lately we will do four in a row and get nothing but common stuff

[solar hedge]

Yeah i got the belgium when you asked me to send cake there 🙂 but itll help me not get so confused about word orders.

[mental plank]

Ohhh yea prolly i have a really bad habit to invert since in french... well its inverted.

[solar palm]

Does anyone know how to fix the gliding glitch after trying to fish

[languid flame]

@low zinc I did a little sketch in fan-art... 😊 (god it's been long since I've held a pen)

[solar hedge]

The 4 i did recently each got me a vamp crab.

And i know eve. Its ok ^.^ im learning japanese so i am getting better with understanding word orders between languages.

[low zinc]

[round sluice]

I'm trying very hard to learn Spanish. Funny enough, it sometimes helps me, in Palia
I'm in USA, but on EU VPN location
I had a conversation, a few days ago, with a player from Spain. Interesting, even if I realize how much I have yet to learn

[mental plank]

And really, dont be afraid to told me when you dont understand what i mean, sometime i write with my basic english i have learn on the everyday chatting because forced to do, but i know im really bad at english in really deep convo.

[solar hedge]

Its ok, everyone needs time to learn. I taught myself english at 6 and i still make mistakes.

[low zinc]

BRO??!! I AM OVERWHELMED WITH EMOTION RN??? I love THIS SO Much??

I LITERALLY went in fanart like 5 minutes before you posted this, so another damn torso with crotch hair all over and contemplated how great it would be if they shut down Fanart completely you literally saved my night omg I’m gonna tell everyone in the cult to look at this WAIT

[round sluice]

You speak better English than a lot of Americans I know

[mental plank]

I try my best.

[mental plank]

i literally imagine what sketch you can do by this situation btw. reacting to a fan art.

[low zinc]

I already have a few sketches of me crying and sobbing uncontrollably but they are not for public viewing, sorry

[mental plank]

No i dont ask for it, i just notice you i imagine it clearly in my head.

Yeah. My art is usually a home for unloved characters XD

[languid flame]

I love your english, I recognize it as french speaking english, it gives me the accent in my head, too 😄 ❤️

[mental plank]

ahahahah yeah i have terrible accent, i never actually talk it, just write it xD

[tame oasis]

he's just an adorable, dumb, hardworking boy looking out for his family and he needs more respect!

[acoustic frigate]

[low zinc]

oooOOO EINAR is so unloved! Literally no one loves Einar! Especially not devs because it’s been too long since we’ve had any Einar content!
Oooo you wanna draw Einar now!

[acoustic frigate]

What’s an Einar?

[potent forum]

Heheheheeeeee! I’ll do another one of him. Just gotta get Ashura and a Chappa out of my system next 😛

[low zinc]

No rush I don’t think WERE GETTING ANY EINAR CONTENT LIKE EVER

[mental plank]

you know, kitsuu have furrrr too.

[acoustic frigate]

Pirates

[frail vapor]

how would einar react if someone told him he has a cult

[low zinc]

[potent forum]

I’ll get around to that too eventually. 😄 I’d like to draw everyone / everything. Will probably end up doing some of the foliage and mining nodes, even.

[tame oasis]

"Is participating in this... Cult... Part of your Oneness?"

[round sluice]

I have a Southern USA accent. I even type in it, a lot. Believe me, your accent sounds better, and I've not even heard it

[mental plank]

Im really impatient to see.

He is nothing if not supportive. We’d all just tell him he is our Oneness (HE IS)

"is this like my collection of pebbles"

[graceful marlin]

Am I the only one who wishes we could use the campfires out in the wild to cook when we're out and about?

[mental plank]

Even my partenair told me i have an terrible accent LMAO

[worldly ore]

I, too, long for this. I hope the devs consider it.

[round sluice]

Right? I often hunt sernuk out by the stone arch. I'll find my Focus bar empty. I've got 30 meats, but can't cook them. I'm all, "But... but there's fire. It's right. There."

[subtle fox]

Nope. I was gutted after I tried the first time. I wanna go inside the little tents/huts too

[round sluice]

I even know there's nothing else to water, when away from my plot, but I still find it weird we can't refill our watering can from all water sources

[balmy needle]

Greetings Again All!

[spare hinge]

Is anyone having issues with cooking? I lost all my dari cloves 😦

[pearl snow]

purchasing the waterwell is the best purchase in the game tho. you CAN refill from that

[mental plank]

I will buy it anyway, but i dont need it for refill my water... https://gyazo.com/7e545092a355c537a5a538dae3947969

[balmy needle]

If it is locking up on you - hit H twice or equip/unequip a tool it will free it up

[languid flame]

This kinda inspired me 😄

[spare hinge]

Thank you! I'll give it a go

[low zinc]

I am so thankful

[glossy talon]

where to report bugs?

[pearl snow]

auni

[round sluice]

I wasn't this smart. My garden is behind my initial, starting plot. Not a long run, but not as close as yours

[balmy needle]

anytime - you can also try hitting k twice to go into/out of camera mode - can reset it as well

[mental plank]

Ah i see lol, yeah you might someday coming see my plot with my garden, which is my cozy home plot.

https://gyazo.com/30404e0f015ed164d95e1f6fe4895c12

[worldly ore]

!support This should give you steps on how to report bugs and the like.

[teal harness]

Oh hai there!
If you seek Player Support, you need only answer these riddles three...

Wait, actually, you just need to click this link.
http://support.palia.com/

And you can then submit a ticket to our sparkly, mesmerizing PS portal, which is open Monday - Sunday, 9am-5pm PST. Operators are standing by!

[spare hinge]

Awesome I'll give them both a try next time it happens.

[glossy talon]

thank you

[round sluice]

I feel so silly. So many people have real issues with Palia, worthy of bug reporting and such. meanwhile, I'm forever getting stuck on my tent flap, or whenever I try to leave through shop doors
"Some day, I shall leave Zeki's store, on the first try! But today... is not that day!"

I would like an upgrade to the glider, similar to "Fine", "Exquisite", etc. One of my very favourite parts of Palia is flying around, but it never lasts. I'd like more hang time

[tame laurel]

if it makes you feel any better I spend more time trying to jump the fences between shops than it would take to just go around the normal way

[round sluice]

Whenever I leave home, I head to Sifuu's, to repair stuff. I glide down to the stairs behind the Mayor's Office, then run around it. There's a spot, at the front steps, where I always get stuck behind the one topiary

And then there's the rock, in Whispering Banks, where I always bump it, and get stuck...
And then there's the spot I stumble, going into the arch through the Aqueduct...
Then there's the hole in the bridge, in Kilima behind the Rembrance Garden...
etc.
<=== is kind clumsy

[supple junco]

I finally have the Gazebo. Inside I have built my magic workshop with moon furniture. Inlove ♥️

yeees let's have Najuma make a propeller for it or something

[craggy breach]

Hii everyone 🌹

[stray coral]

does anyone know if we will ever be able to have multiple characters on one account?

[surreal knot]

BEARDS

[rain pilot]

what are star stones what are rummage piles

[eternal nimbus]

exactly, i have so many questions lol

[craggy breach]

Will Hodari be able to romance..? I'm very curious because I just like him so much.

[opal bramble]

you already can

[short juniper]

thank you for more free cosmetics :D!!

[inner surge]

He is

[lean pier]

THE SPLIT DYE HAIR!!! MY CHARACTER WILL ACTUALLY GET TO MATCH ME IRL!!!

[rain pilot]

theres already a premium curry right

[ocean tinsel]

oo whats a starstone
and more character customisation? will we be allowed to do that if we already have a character?

[surreal knot]

IKR OMG

[plush path]

Wonder if Palia devs plan on giving us more Farm plots eventually

[frail vapor]

https://palia.com/news/dev-update-october-2023

[craggy breach]

WHAAT?? Oh my lord I'm so late

[opal bramble]

the new character customization looks so GOOD

[surreal knot]

what r ur colors!!!!

[hasty fable]

THE SPLIT BANGS HAIR AHHH MY HAIR IS IN PALIA 😭😭🥰🥰🥰

[halcyon flume]

the new hairs are so cute!!

[opal bramble]

You have to max out the friendship with Najuma first in order to romance him tho

[lean pier]

Okay okay I go in on Monday but, on Monday I will have a bright orange and ashy blonde split dye

[left spoke]

What are rummage piles

[dreamy compass]

Beards couldn't come at a more perfect time. I just started playing 2 days ago and its probably the most exciting part of the update.

[raven fjord]

I wonder if we will be able to get to change genders and everything too

[rain pilot]

money rocks??

[lean pier]

hby?!

[surreal knot]

black and green!

[outer scroll]

i honestly wish they had more of a variety of long loose hair

[mental plank]

That's logic tho.

[dire patrol]

free customizations :O

[craggy breach]

Tysm for the help!!

[stuck pawn]

Would loveee some flowy cute curly hair styles

[young monolith]

whats Rummage Piles

[outer scroll]

ikrrr

[clever lintel]

I think they are stuff you can search to find loot, kinda like Treasure Chests but most likely near the cities

[normal tinsel]

it probably has something to do w animations ; -- ;

[lean pier]

I did not know and I started and got a letter and MY HEART HURTS

[low zinc]

Nothing about Einar in the announcement ok ok

[mental plank]

uncommon, on hills, more visible at night. @graceful marlin

[graceful marlin]

What has happened to briar daisies? They're sooo hard to find now.

[lean pier]

is something new expected for him?

[surreal knot]

ikr terrible game for no einer update

[green raven]

my bet is that they'll be a new source for Makeshift furniture. That or maybe a random chance for materials

[low zinc]

apparently nothing, ever

[graceful marlin]

I know, but so many servers they just never seem to appear at all

[foggy sky]

What is 🗑️ Rummage Piles ?

[round sluice]

Time of Palia day? They are far more prevalent, just around dusk, in my experience

[mental plank]

Well, lot hunt them too, i do all time, cause i need them so badly for my arrows.

[strong pond]

Me when I hear more free customization:
pops in
Hello.

(haven't played in eons due to uni work but glad to be back for that one week off~)

[lusty ferry]

For all the homeless people in palia atm

[normal tinsel]

i Hope the rummage piles have something to do w excess furniture

[gray solstice]

Free character customization nice

[lean pier]

oh like a rummage sale?

[low zinc]

Yas queen go hobo-core with the rummage piles

[paper oasis]

The new character options are so cute!!!

[glossy remnant]

omg are we getting new hair options? :D

[twilit field]

I hope better character customization comes with better masc faces because it felt like there were two per group and none were ideal....like heaven forbid our character has a jaw like Hodari's.

[outer scroll]

yass

[low zinc]

literally 0/10 trash tbh smh smh

[supple junco]

November 7 gooo♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[normal tinsel]

i think new hair colors and highlights?

[graceful marlin]

On this server I'm on the cliff above Bahari Stables and I can hear one, but not see it. But if I tip my camera just right it's under the grass.

[wary dock]

Beards!!!

[graceful marlin]

The only one I've seen and it's completely out of reach

[supple junco]

I want my beard

[twilit field]

Beards is huge...at least I can hide my dissatisfaction with face options behind a big bushy beard.

Now we just need actual glasses options

[low zinc]

I want more Einar dialogue okease I am on my knees

[clever lintel]

Nov 7th I'm travelling, just an hour before the patch starts, with no access to Palia for 4 days

[thorny yoke]

if any CMs are in here rn: im begging, pls confirm: are the new hairstyles shown in the image in the recent announcement gonna be free or paid?????? pls 🙏 im thrilled for everyone who wanted beards but those new hairstyles are what im excited about 🥺

[lilac palm]

I think that one has been buried for a while - I was able to pick it yesterday but shimmying around where I heard the sound and looking at the floor - I got the pick key prompt

[outer scroll]

F

[foggy sky]

I don't understand 😓 i don't speak english very well

[fringe talon]

just woke up from a nap. those character renders look, really pretty??? why cant we have that in game? 😭

[mental plank]

I know what i it, just keep walk around and near you hear the sound hit F. I notice this one is bugged but getable.

[gusty oracle]

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure only outfits are paid

[lusty ferry]

Oh I am sorry it was a joke because there is a issue at the moment where players are unable to get into their homes

But rummage is when youre searching for usefull items in well... trash
So you're searching in a trash can for usefull items

[thorny yoke]

that's what im hoping, since those were just hairs they will be free 😄🙏

[inland ice]

hey s6, i'm not saying if there isn't any new einar content in this upcoming patch that i'm going to literally die, but if there is no new einar content in this upcoming patch i am going to die

[mental plank]

🧔 More Free Character Customizations <- FREE.
💎 Starstones
🗑️ Rummage Piles
🏠 Increased Housing & Decor Limits
🧥 New Premium Cosmetics

[fringe talon]

also read that mods arent going to be a thing, but i think they should be. aesthetic mods are fine and mods for those with accessability issues that dont have options in the game would be fine as well!

[paper condor]

YAYAYAYA ABOUT F TIME (More Free Character Customizations) & ALSO (Increased Housing & Decor Limits)

[tidal sequoia]

I feel like modding an online game is hard no ?

[quaint monolith]

Can’t wait to see the new customizations!

[twilit field]

What the heck is a rummage pile?

A way to find makeshift PLEASE?!

[pastel quartz]

I just saw, I'm excited I can finally fix my character

[tidal sequoia]

I dont know anything abt modding 😅

[tender spoke]

dumpster diving /j

[leaden turret]

Digging thru trash

[clever lintel]

imagine after the patch every dude is rocking a beard ingame lol... no shave november

[quartz dock]

I wonder if Rummage Piles will be spawn spots for alternate ways to get Makeshift furniture

[quaint monolith]

I hope they add in more cute hoodies like the one you can get from referrals

[somber swallow]

New skill confirmed, Rummaging kek

[simple island]

We need wheelchairs!!!

[twilit field]

There are paid hairs that come with outfits.

[paper condor]

SAME getting tird of my old CLOTHES hahaha NEED MORE OPTIONS & CLOLORS lol & styles

[clever lintel]

Nah, exoskeletons are better

[quartz dock]

Killima and Bahari Bay are not wheelchair accessible sorry

[dim vector]

Im so exited. I already prepared all the rooms I would need for the new housing limit and can’t wait to build my newly planned layout
The increased housing limit is what I’m most exited for.

[tidal sequoia]

Thats actually à very clever idea I never see game with wheelchair option

[round sluice]

Some yess. Some no. Changing, adding, or removing an entire gameplay mechanic? Yes. Changing, adding, or removing cosmetics? Not really. Repairing existing game stuff? Depends what's borked

[gusty oracle]

Yeah but those are part of the set

[leaden turret]

I need more face options tbh, all the girls look the same

[pastel quartz]

I meant my character broke because of the Grey T-Pose bug and wardrobe interaction. I've been someone else for months. D:

[mental plank]

Gilding with wheelschairs ... I try to find the concept. Not because im not open minded or against anyone, but would be cause some issue about the working around things.

[simple island]

Exactly!! People like me need more things like that

[twilit field]

True. You can wear the hair without the set tho. Much like hats.

[fringe talon]

sometimes if its just made for cheating but if for aesthetic reasons and for accessability reasons (which SHOULD be a thing that be in base game but isnt rn) then no i dont think its bad. obviously the real cheating type of mods should be looked at and banned but things that are just client side for someone shouldnt be. especially if it will help someone actually play the game when an option to make it easier on them due to their disability isnt available

[sudden hedge]

What is Rummage Piles ?

[lilac palm]

It's not something everyone can do no but for those that are talented, modding an online game is fun and happens a lot - several well known online games have huge modding communities (World of Warcraft, Ark, and Minecraft are just a few)

[tidal sequoia]

I see tho if they open modding dont the premium cosmetic aspect gonna be kinda useless ?🤔

[odd cargo]

My thoughts exactly

[fringe talon]

not rly. people will still buy them. people will always end up buying the premium cosmetics no matter what

[simple island]

You have a good point I’m sure it would be difficult but so is real life for people like me

[quaint monolith]

I agree it would be awesome to make my girl look more unique. I also know the story is meant to be about how you’re a human in a world where there’s not many but I’d love to be able to have some wings or something tbh

[paper condor]

awawaw I am sorryyy ((huggiess 🫂 )) that deff sucks oof

[tender spoke]

add jets to the back of it and then you can fly over holes in the bridges

[gusty oracle]

Sadly, they work like hats. Can't wear hats on top. So technically they're more like wigs lol

[supple junco]

What’s rummaging?

[pastel quartz]

Yeee tyty it's been rough, but I'll manage o/

[simple island]

Nice to know how you really feel

[round sluice]

Modding would likely only be colours, or maybe trim pieces. The base outfit would still stay the same
Making it look like an entirely different outfit would require... well, an entirely different outfit

[paper condor]

that is what I want to know ( Rummage Piles ) like WTF RUNNIG THREW LEAVES??🍂 🤔 hahaha

[tidal sequoia]

Some type of glider actuelly use à situp position

[quartz dock]

I just don't see a way to make wheelchairs scale vertical cliffs and jump across platforms. not that I'm opposed to wheelchairs, it just doesn't make any platforming sense ya know

[languid flame]

Oh I'm putting on a real Selleck mustache if it's possible.

[tender spoke]

jets!! jet packs!!

[queen edge]

BEARDS

[mental plank]

Honestly, i just think its for easy concept they dont add things like this. Not for being closed to the idea, but would be hard to make wheelchairs work for. Behind the animations, concepts, making 3d, have a tones of hours of works... But i guess theses who never worked near or far into game industry or content creator about 3d/animations ect cant really understand that

[long citrus]

Tbh I’m just really excited for beards

[simple island]

You were clear the first time it’s not “wheelchair accessible” neither is real life for us but we find ways

[worn elk]

am I the only one who thought they were teasing "Art" because it kinda looked like a Bob Ross Set?

[tender spoke]

im really excited for more hair styles

[tidal sequoia]

Okay so genuine question isnt gonna be client side only ? If we take minecraft as example most of the cosmétic mod are client side only and to be able to see your friends cosmetics u would have to download the same mods

[twilit field]

Oh they do? Honestly that's pretty bad that they adding hairs and don't even make them work like hair.

[fringe talon]

i hope we can get long hairstyles one day

[supple junco]

[quartz dock]

Facial Hair, now craftable view Chapaa Fur!

[dry gulch]

woops wrong chat

[tender spoke]

imagine if we could decorate our hair with flowers we find

[graceful marlin]

So, I just showed up at proudhorn geyser there's 3 people standing around and a large node of palium. I take a hit and wait and wait and wait, then ask if we're waiting for someone else and they told me they've been standing there for... 15 MINUTES, in case someone else showed up. WUT?

[odd cargo]

same although I'm afraid they would clip through the premium stuff...

[round sluice]

Not how I would code it, but I'm not on the S6/Palia team. That could go either way, I suppose
There are already furniture mods, in Palia, yeah? I would imagine (just IMO onvi) clothing mods would work the same way

[queen edge]

insane behavior just break the damn thing

[mental plank]

Just break it.

[pastel quartz]

oh no

[fringe talon]

the ponytails already clip through stuff so much lol. it wont be any different rly

[clever lintel]

If RNG is in favor, you'll get a bee or two following you as well

[rain pilot]

wait it didnt tell me about rummage piles

[graceful marlin]

Oh I did, I decided I was definitely someone else

[tidal sequoia]

Same, like straight hair too, I know in most game all the hair are straight and not really have curly option, but like as a white ghost with straight hair I feel often stuck because i dont want to do cultural appropriation 😭

[tender spoke]

wait thatd be so cute omg?????

[round sluice]

Honestly, I do stuff like that. Sometimes, I'm super antsy. Other times, I'll just chill and see who wanders by 🤷🏽

[fringe talon]

oh felt. but whenever that happens, i always imagine that the character im making is mixed!

[graceful marlin]

I can't, I see it I call it, I wait a bit and then...boom

[round sluice]

Fair. Nothing wrong with that

[graceful marlin]

If someone answersss I will wait for sure. but if not, 45 seconds max

[tidal sequoia]

I feel like i dont have even the knowledge to pretend creating an mixed OC and since im posting content online i really dont want to hurt anyonr😭

[queen edge]

i just give them a “you have until [in game time] to get here then i’m breaking it”

[mental plank]

not me, thats why i dont call lmao, but at least i breack every stone/iron around.

[clever lintel]

says omw in advance

[round sluice]

I've had so many Cloves and Heartroot despawn on me, I pick 'em, call 'em, flare 'em, and run off to do more foraging

[graceful marlin]

Also an approach I endorse

[placid crater]

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE tell me that we can change base skintone with this new update? The grey-haired lady in the promo image has the skintone I covet, because my character currently has a skintone my pasty Slavic butt only acquires after I've sunburned like I torched myself like a marshmallow XD

[queen edge]

like i’m not waiting for y’all to invite your friends sorry. i have limited time to play

[quartz dock]

They're digital avatars living in a fantasy/scifi alternate world. Long as you're not showing any disrespect I think you're fine to experiement with playing and expressing yourself in anyway you want! Let your creativity and identity soar!

[leaden turret]

I’m bored of Bahari. Oddly even more than Kilima. Although at least people interact there

[graceful marlin]

Agree, because same

[potent forum]

Part way through my art of Nai’o. Ended up starting to do a full painting with him. I haven’t done one of those in SO LONGGGG

[graceful marlin]

I'm starting to wonder if I'm suddenly the only one on the map because the chat is dead quiet rn

[queen edge]

a worthier subject there never was 🙏🏻

[mental plank]

just hit the O then look server tab

[graceful marlin]

Naio is a hunk

[potent forum]

Drawing him as more of a gunslinger 😛 Got that scruff on his chin, etc.

[graceful marlin]

there's lots of people listed but seriously nobody is calling anything out at all. oop someone ran by. It's eerie quiet otherwise though

[mental plank]

i never talk unless for correct by Sernuk* to somone told white DeEr or told where dari and heartdrop.

[leaden turret]

Lately I find it gets super dead & then super active out of no where. But you can switch servers I guess

[round sluice]

Super jelly. I'm not good at drawing, nor do I have time to devote to improving.
I got a pretty decent drawing screen, for doing 2D laser pattern stuff, but hardly ever use it. Sometimes, I stare at the touch monitor, and feel bad because it's not living up to its potential

[random juniper]

Think Wile E. Coyote rocket boosters, though they could be more or less explosive. Who knows?

[graceful marlin]

I have to got make dinner pretty soon, and the Elders aren't dropping antlers at all so I think I will log out for now and play again later when everyone else in bed.

[potent forum]

Art is one of my jobs. So I draw more than most folks probably get time to. Though it does end up creating a ton of burnout. 😄

[round sluice]

"We lose more Palians that way" 🎆

[manic goblet]

will full avatar creation be availible at all? last time i was on you couldnt change things like body type, skin tone, or faces unless im mistaken

[round sluice]

I have a friend who draws for a living (see my avatar <== ). I offered to send it to him, but he already has similar and turned me down
And, yeah, some days he's all "I just can't, today. No drawing, until tomorrow"

[random juniper]

They're doing it wrong. Put out server message, take your hit, and wait a bit. Check in server chat if any more are coming, and if not finish it off. 15 minutes is at least 10 minutes too long unless you know someone is coming.

[tender spoke]

i would also like the ability to change my shoes 🥲 like, without changing pants

[shrewd tiger]

That patch annnouncement's tripping me out a little. Not only is the guy in blue 3rd from the left wearing the same Premium outfit I own, but he's also got a new pair of glasses that look very similar to the ones I wear in real life! Nice to see that in Palia now

[ebon condor]

Burnout hella sucks

[potent forum]

And forcing yourself to keep working while you have it sucks just as much ❤️

[round sluice]

Wearing glasses, IRL, I was very impressed, when I realized my avatar could, too. I'm a little sad I get exactly 1 frame design, but 1 is better than no representation at all 👓

[vast berry]

Has there been any announcement on when Palia is coming to the switch?

[ebon condor]

Gotta get the money to live somehow right 😭😭

[random juniper]

I own the 2nd outfit from the left outfit. Maybe some of these are still new?

[potent forum]

100%. So much truth right there. Food doesn’t magically appear on our table and the rent won’t pay itself hahaha

[random juniper]

Is it my imagination, or is the character with a beard in that group pic female?

[shrewd tiger]

I wonder if we'll have to buy a whole Premium outfit to get that pair... I mean they obviously don't come with the Slick Surfer one because that's been in game since the beginning

[somber swallow]

starstones, new premium currency am i rite

[round sluice]

That old adage of "The best way through writer's block is to start writing. Doesn't matter what. Just get something out. It'll all come back. It'll be fine"
Um... no. Here's my 🖋️ . I will now place it in my 🏠 . Which I will now 🔥🔥🔥

[cinder coral]

so excited for starstones

[quartz dock]

I hope starstones are more than just an NPC gift and money, but new mechanics

[rain thicket]

What are rummage piles?

[random juniper]

Hair on that bearded character looks longer than I think I've seen before, not positive though.

[cinder coral]

pretty sure there is no established male and female in palia, just different body types

[worthy eagle]

If there are new faces and such - do we know if we'd be able to edit existing characters? I doubt it but hoping as I don't want to delete and start a character over cough but want new face or whatever else designs >>

[round sluice]

With my luch, they'll be ☢️

[reef shard]

Junk piles you can sift through i bet.

[random juniper]

Don't know, but the first thing that came to mind were the junk piles with boards and barrels on the original estate property.

[vague quail]

Excited for the star stones and the garabge piles!!

[cinder coral]

yess give me palia astrology

[random juniper]

The first choice you make is male or female, actually.

[quartz dock]

no thats all the Flow-wood, and related furniture we're sleeping on

[vague quail]

What if we can find makeshift stuff in these new rummage piles?!! 😍 please

[random juniper]

But there's no restrictions on clothes and such.

[potent forum]

Heckin’ big truth right there. It just creates MORE of a blockage to force creativity. And I’d know. XD I’ve been doing this for 13 years professionally. It is NOT the good time everyone imagines these jobs to be. 😛

[round sluice]

but you ain't wrong
The Order is actually here to protect us from 🛌🏽 on carcinogens

[random juniper]

Okay, this chat delay is driving me crazy. (beats Discord with a 10 foot pole)

[quartz dock]

The Order is California 🙂

[supple junco]

I want star stones. Mining is my second fav activity so…

[potent forum]

The chat delay used to bother me at first (just because I love talking in forums / chats like this) but it got easier over time. 😄

[round sluice]

They adjust it. 1 minute I find works well. 2 minutes makes me leave chat, and go do something else

[mental plank]

Good night to everyone. I go to sleep. Try to not gen ban while I sleep.

[quartz dock]

I just casually discord while I'm playing games, so I'm generally bouncing back and forth anyways, 1 minutes fine for me

[random juniper]

It's not usually an issue but with chat being busy now and multiple conversations it's making it hard to respond to all of them.

[cinder coral]

yeah honestly its just reminiscent of forums which is comfy

[lucid forge]

I wish so desperately that the hairstyles in the middle of the announcement was a braid in the back but I know it's just short hair. Doubt they listened to anyone asking for longer hairstyles, but the rest of the update seems awesome! Hopefully this adds the change core features option (about to read through)

[hexed mortar]

What are rummage piles that they announced?

[random juniper]

Nobody knows yet Ukya

[ocean tinsel]

i feel like if you force yourself then it comes out soulless and clunky, which is a shame cause im currently suffering from writers block as well

[potent forum]

@round sluice Yeah! 1 minute or less is totally fine for me too. ❤️

@riannoc.connair If I have a lot of people to respond to I do it this way and put it all into 1. 😄

[lucid forge]

No one knows probably

[vague quail]

I’m excited to see how the stones play in to it all. I like astrology so I hope we get some nice quest and dialogue with it

[round sluice]

GoT Season 8 👀

[paper condor]

FOR ME I am at LVL 117 I have no more QUESTS to do,... all I have left of the game is the (night-sky-temple) trying to get that done as well!! I would like to pick up more QUEST not sure were I need to go....TO GET MORE....... all tho I have heard our skills r on INF :infinity: WOWSER NO MAXING OUT ON THEM hahahah well then lmao!!

[quartz dock]

Me Most excited for increased housing plot limits, Everyone else going ball-shizz crazy for clothing and starstones shrugs

[cinder coral]

i do want to add though that theyre explicitly not labeled as male or female, theyre just different body types. the player characters dont have any set gender, thats up to personal interpretation.

[idle spindle]

i like pretty rocks

[ocean tinsel]

ive never watched got but ive heard terrible things about the later seasons in particular 😭

[random juniper]

I think the point of that adage is not to write with the expectation of quality, but to try to just get the juices flowing to the point that you break through your block. Much of what is written before that is garbage, until you wake up the writer within and break the block.

[tender spoke]

kermit pfp spotted, fellow muppet enjoyer question mark ? ?

[cinder coral]

ill bet a lot of us havent gotten remotely close to hitting a limit for items so thats probably why

[quartz dock]

not items, Housing limits (15 rooms going to 30)

[random juniper]

If they're not male or female and all are one, then why have a choice at all? You can definitely see in profile that the males have flat chests and females have slight breasts. Those forms shown do follow classic male/female images as well.

[cinder coral]

same for houses, i have a whopping 1 room

[round sluice]

Yeah. I'm not sure it was writer's block, so much as just "Hey, we've made our names, so now we can get good work elsewhere, so let's blow this place, and move on". Either way, they were super duper just not into doing good work, about then

[vague quail]

I’m real excited for the new building limit. Finally can replace my tents and make an actual shed

[stable hatch]

is the pumpkin stuff still availble or not

[neat jolt]

I hope we have more free clothing options

[sick topaz]

what are Rummage Piles ?

[balmy needle]

its both - Increased Housing & Decor Limits

[tender spoke]

genderqueer rep is awesome possum

[reef shard]

Yes, you can still purchase these.

[idle spindle]

i love them funky little felt folks

[cinder coral]

because certain people may be more comfortable being represented with a different body type? theyll probably be adding more body types in the future as well, not just the two. i personally am really hoping for sliders.

[quartz dock]

I know , just saying I'm most excited for the part where I can double my rooms, or have multiple harvest homes!

[neat jolt]

Like the trash bins from Stardew Valley I’m guessing.

[vague quail]

Haven’t seen them announce when it will be gone. But I imagine they may be there until winter stuff starts. It’s still fall for a bit

[cinder coral]

same, i wanna make a greenhouse

[stable hatch]

yay cause i still need candles and pumpkins for my property and house cause pumpkins and floating candles

[potent forum]

Sliders would be GREAT. I want to recreate one of my comic characters to play as. He’s a big and awesome fella, so that’s not possible at the moment. 😄

[idle spindle]

Those would be great, I'd like more opportunities to be a chaotic mess in Palia

[reef shard]

Buy buy buy~!

[stable hatch]

will do thank you!

[quartz dock]

Or make a little campsite with like 10 seperate cabins 🙂

[cinder coral]

yes!! conversely id love a smaller body type with a flat chest. sliders would be amazing!

[round sluice]

I'm, personally, round. I'd like to see some round body types
(though, if I ran around anywhere near as actively as my avatar does, I'd be just about as fit )

[vague quail]

I need short and more curves please. I look like a child 😢

[random juniper]

Definitely. Tamala and Hodari body types, please! Ore even something halfway between what we have and them. My character feels a bit too young to me, almost childish.

[cinder coral]

yeah the lack of diversity with character customization was a little disappointing going in but im hoping thatll be something theyll add over time. character customization is a huge deal for me in games

[quartz dock]

Can I customize the degree of spinal curve? how am I supposed to be a 109 year old hunched over women?

[tender spoke]

scoliosis update

[random juniper]

They have said they'll be adding it along with the system to let existing characters update with those options as well.

[quartz dock]

followed by the Cataracts update and Liver Spots Customization purchases

[random juniper]

They want to roll them out together so we can use the new options without making new characters.

[round sluice]

Leaving gender out of it, I'd like some burlier body options. I don't care if it'd be or , but those are more how I'm built, IRL

[quartz dock]

Waiting to change my skin tone to Goblin Green or Majari Purple pls?

[stark pebble]

Hey, who gave you my picture?! :P

[round sluice]

Luckily, those aren't me, yet... but leave my arthritis out, or I'm never gonna get up those cliffs

[idle spindle]

I want guy fieri hair

[quartz dock]

I got it from the group photo we took from the AARP meeting in 1987

[cinder coral]

or even just fair, the lightest tone is much much deeper than me. skin sliders please! a slider for the deepness and also warmth/coolness would be so nice

basically just make everything a slider thanks /hj

[lucid forge]

This! Desperately hoping to be pasty

[neat jolt]

Stimming emotes please!!

[cinder coral]

autism update when?

[stark pebble]

squints through her bifocals then points with her cane HEH ... well I'll be, there you are ... and that's me way in the back on the stack of boxes.

[vapid bolt]

i think they specifically said they hired someone new to work on skin tones and how the world lighting effects the skin showing, otherwise it would already be available but i think its been a challenge

[neat jolt]

Yasss!! T-Rex arms included!!

[potent forum]

Holy goodness. I clap my hands so much IRL when I’m excited that one of these days I’ll probably take flight. XD Speaking of stimming. 😛

[vague quail]

I’m actually pleasantly surprised that I have the same hair and complexion in this game as irl. I can never have both so accurate

[lucid forge]

Already adjusting for the clusters to have my bar and my trophy setups separate from my actual house

[quartz dock]

no no, that was Reginald, he's just very stooped over

[cinder coral]

walkin on the tippy toes

[round sluice]

Emotes? No no no. EQ. Switch from my bow, to my fidget cube

[lucid forge]

Yeah I remember mention of it, hoping for it soon! My makeup color is fair porcelain the in game tones aren't doing it for me 😂

[cinder coral]

a chewelry emote that gives you passive focus /lh

[sharp beacon]

I would be surprised if more body types are introduced soon. It might take more time because of having to get the clothing adjusted correctly. Hopefully though it was t just something that was only in their minds due to us asking and it's been in the works. It's something that I wish was their from the beginning though. They are so inclusive with many things, but they left body sizes out. I want that representation.

[dense elk]

Are we getting more rooms that can be added to one house, or more than one house but each with 15 max?

[idle spindle]

I agree, especially since the villagers have such diverse body types too

[vague quail]

Agree! It will take a while. But hopefully we will get it eventually. It’s kind of weird that everyone is the same proportions

[quartz dock]

Just let me choose Fur as a body type, then don't have to worry about skin tones right?

[urban frigate]

DCed

[cinder coral]

yep. my hope clothing has already been optimized for deforming over different bodies from day one and now its just a matter of actually making a system for body types

[grim star]

Are beards in the game now?

[cinder coral]

theyre coming nov 7th afaik

[south berry]

Movember

[round sluice]

Exactly this. I see , , , Daliala (who needs a react, here), and others, and want those, too

[neat jolt]

Noise canceling headphones as a headpiece option

[stark pebble]

I know! I always go for the short short stature if it's available. Otherwise I don't feel like I'm representing myself :P

[acoustic frigate]

AAAH FINALLY GOT MY STAR VOID RAY

[marble cypress]

Anyone know what the rummage pile is all about?

[stark pebble]

woohoo Compass!

[vague quail]

I’m excited for the beards! Not for myself but to see the variety around.

@stark pebble Right! I’m very short and proportionally very different from our character. So weird to me.

[stark pebble]

stands next to you If I stand up really straight I just barely hit the 5ft mark :P

[vague quail]

I’m 5 foot on the dot. I often measure things in lengths of myself

[neat jolt]

I’m 5’5 but according to the DMV, I’m 5’6

[valid herald]

What's a rummage pile

[potent forum]

We’re the same short height haha!

Not us in a store begging tall people to get things off shelves for us. Noooooo… 😛

[cinder coral]

a pile you rummage through

[neat jolt]

You don’t scale up the shelves?

[vague quail]

Yup! Always need a ladder handy at home too. But hey I can get into tight spaces down low with ease. I used to just get on the counters myself

[stark pebble]

I refuse to ask anyone to reach stuff for me in the store. I'll pick a brand that wants to be lower on the shelves lol

[potent forum]

Sometimes. But I’m sorta heavy for my height and worry about them coming down on me hehehe!

[round sluice]

I have always wanted to be shorter. There are things which are outright uncomfortable, when taller. And I'm not even all that tall, at 6'2" (188cm)

I will always, though, be happy to fetch it off the top shelf, for my smol peeps

[neat jolt]

Fair enough

[vague quail]

Same! I’m very shy and don’t want to bother people at the store unless it’s my only choice lol

[quartz dock]

as a tall skinny beanpole I have to announce the pain I feel constantly being asked to reach things for short girls

[stark pebble]

I always say I'm under tall not over weight lol

If anything I drag one of my very tall sons to the store with me. Their dad is 6ft6 lol

[potent forum]

Good idea! 😛

There’s this joke about only growing as much as it takes for you to be ‘perfect’. Some folks just took longer than others. 😄 Just a joke, of course! Nothing against anyone how they are. ❤️

[vague quail]

I feel like they’d have to make the other characters taller or else we would look way too short to be romancing these npc 😂
By this I mean just make the current height the min and people can be taller

[neat jolt]

I bet I’m actually shorter than most of the NPCs tbh

[stark pebble]

I find is wicked endearing that Einar hunkers down like he does. The first time I saw it I audibly went 'awww' :P

[potent forum]

Me looking up at Ashura like: “Holy crow, can I just… sit on your shoulders?”

[vague quail]

Yes!!’ It’s adorable!

[neat jolt]

The game devs should reveal how tall the characters are

[quartz dock]

Tells us how tall they are, uses fake new Majari units no one knows how to convert

[vague quail]

Ashura is 9.34 chapaas tall. 1 chapaa is 3.2 morels high. Do the math

[mystic obsidian]

Does anyone have a focus food party going on?

[supple junco]

In the new update we have new hairstyles?

[shadow wolf]

They teased flow groves and ammo pouches way too soon. 🙄🙄

[umbral pulsar]

Nope they are adding a new skill: Shoveling

[graceful marlin]

I have seen full on chat wars over flow trees lately.

[main orbit]

I think so! I noticed i believe 2 in the images given, and i think the facial hair is new? Correct me on that if im wrong

[vague quail]

I was really hoping for the ammo pouch in this one but oh well. Glad we get some other stuff instead

[queen hornet]

pls ammo pouches can't come soon enough

[potent forum]

I want to ask why people would fight over that, but I’m kinda scared to. XD

[main orbit]

Can you guys explain what the ammo pouches do pls?

[graceful marlin]

I would give my left chapaa for an ammo pouch

[potent forum]

Really would clean up a lot of inventory space. Awesome

[devout dirge]

does anyone know how to get the floating lantern

[graceful marlin]

It’s part of the Plague Doctor premium outfit. You have to purchase the outfit to get it.

[devout dirge]

alr thanks

[round sluice]

My top 17-20 pouch slots are 🏹 , bug 🎆 , 🪝 , 🪱 , etc.
I "never" have enough room for all the foraging items

[stable lichen]

my cleansing candles don't light up, am i doing it wrong?

[umbral pulsar]

Yes

[graceful marlin]

Same @round sluice that’s why I quit eating in game. I’m not turning over precious space for snacks.

[stable lichen]

i can't interact with them 😐

[umbral pulsar]

I’m sorry I actually don’t know if you’re doing anything wrong I am just being contrarian rn

[graceful marlin]

They don’t light up at least not now. These are the one from Hodari, right?

[round sluice]

Plus, I'm on a "slow mode", in-game, anyway. I basically never care about Focus, unless I'm on a cooking binge
Then I eat it just to eat it
"Binge eating", I guess, as in "eating my binge crafted foods"

[neat jolt]

I don’t like doing math

[slate bloom]

Are the fall decor still avail rn?

[graceful marlin]

Same, I’m way above 10 in all skills an I still get my weekly medals pretty fast so why bother?

[worldly maple]

I wish they would give Reth the same outfit he is wearing in his picture hanging in the inn……I like the long pants and boots

[gilded atlas]

Does anyone else have problems with the glitchy green platforms in the obstacle course? Or is it laggy due to internet issues?

[fringe talon]

the villagers need different outfits they wear in a cycle tbh

[idle spindle]

winter clothes for EVERYONE

[low zinc]

hopefully "winter changes to Kilima" will include Einar is a cute scarf or I riot and cry

TBF, while I truly prefer 75F, to say, 30, I agree with the saying:
"You can always add another layer, but you can only get so naked"

And I look better in sweaters, than shorts

[storm shadow]

THE PATCH IS SO SOON!

[hard hedge]

do we know what all the new outfits look like or just a select few?

[narrow fulcrum]

are these new face presets coming in the next update or am I trippin? will we be able to change our current character face if so?

[urban frigate]

I really need to know what rummage piles are.

[idle spindle]

Same...

[clear pumice]

omg, new glasses, new hair, new skintones, new facial hair, I think there are even some new eye shapes - it all looks really nice

[urban frigate]

Like, NEED. TO. KNOW.

[reef shard]

[idle spindle]

if it turns out to be a big ol trash pile who wants to hang out there with me

[narrow fulcrum]

I just hope we can change previously unchangeable categories if they really added new face presets, skintones, eyes, etc

[clear pumice]

yeah I'm pretty sure they're going to let us edit our character once the new options are available I don't know if it's going to be a one time thing or not though

[narrow fulcrum]

that short red hair person in the sweater to the left looks so cute, I wanna be him lol

[random juniper]

Been examining that News pic in detail, and four of the outfits are definitely in the store now (1st, 2nd, and 3rd on left and 2nd from right). Interesting thing is the far left outfit (Voyager Outfit) is displaying colors that don't exist on the current release of the outfit, so there must be new color swatches!

[ocean belfry]

I love the brown messy hair in the middle, so cute!

[random juniper]

Lots of new hairstyles and skin tones, and I think faces as well. And beards, of course. Tuesday's going to be fun!

[random juniper]

Yes, I want that one!

[graceful marlin]

I was just about to buy some new outfits but now I’m going to wait.

[ocean belfry]

me too!

[clear pumice]

love how they put the Roundball outfit front and center, it must not sell very well 😂

[random juniper]

Same here lol.

[narrow fulcrum]

love all new hair shown

[urban frigate]

I'm getting Fraggle Rock vibes

[ocean belfry]

Dark Crystal is where it’s at

[graceful marlin]

Me too re:the hair there’s like 4 styles I cycle through right now.

[random juniper]

Roundball outfit?

[clear pumice]

that one with the center part that curls under is my favorite

[clear pumice]

yeah there's a sport called Roundball in Palia and that's how the outfit is labeled in the shop

[ocean belfry]

i do wish we could buy certain parts of certain outfits though, because I like to mix and match

[round sluice]

My absolute favourite movie, of all time

I sure am glad they never made a series out of it, 'coz they would surely screw that up 🤨

[ocean belfry]

Id say dark crystal is 3rd on my list, I really love coraline and Alice in wonderland

[round sluice]

My fav 2, in order, are Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. After that, I have a bunch, but those are ultimate an penultimate, for sure

[random juniper]

Odd, that name isn't in the outfit selection dropdown list. I guess some are missing.

[ocean belfry]

OH YES LABYRINTH IS SO GOOD!!!

I play the “as the world falls down” song all the time!!

[urban frigate]

Labyrinth is FAR superior, but ok. 😉

[ocean belfry]

But… I do enjoy some borderlands

[graceful marlin]

I do mix and match all the time, I don’t know if I have worn a to with it’s set bottom yet.

[random juniper]

Supposedly they've been trying to get a script approved for a sequel but haven't been able to make it work in budget, and who could replace David Bowie, anyway?

[ocean belfry]

David Bowie was so well made for that role

[round sluice]

You're entitled to be incorrect
Nah. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. S'all good

[random juniper]

I'm incorrectly correct, and I don't stand by my opinion!

Or was it correctly incorrect? Who knows? I certainly don't.

[graceful marlin]

Nobody, some people are so incredibly unique there’s just nobody who will ever fill their shoes. If they thinking of doing a new Labyrinth they should quit now.

[clear pumice]

oh it looks like it's called the MUUV set, I guess I was just remembering the first one's label

[round sluice]

I would've said Tim Curry... twenty years ago 😢

Nowadays? Not a clue

[ocean belfry]

I loved sir didymus and ambrosious

[random juniper]

He might have had a chance of it, true. Probably the closest option.

[clear pumice]

it looks different in the catalogue I wonder if they updated it (or if I've just been ignoring it that much 😂)

[bold barn]

Tim Curry in Fern Gully was amazing

[ocean belfry]

Isn’t the baby in labyrinth, David Bowies actual son?

[random juniper]

Young Jennifer Connelly was great as well.

[round sluice]

No, but very close. That's the artists', the Frouds', son, Toby

[ocean belfry]

ahh okay, thought I heard it somewhere but great movie anyway

[random juniper]

Which one?

[bold barn]

I think I've heard that too, must have been a popular rumor or something

[round sluice]

For anybody who wants to feel old, ||Toby Froud, the baby from Labyrinth, is 39 years old||

[clear pumice]

did they re-arrange all the outfits and swatches recently, I swear the shop and the wardrobe look different

[ocean belfry]

WOAHHH

[random juniper]

I'm less than 2 months from 55, don't need any help feeling old lol.

[ocean belfry]

oh wow! massive variety of people play palia, I never knew, that’s so cool!

[clear pumice]

grr, I hate not knowing if I'm having a bad brain moment or if they've shifted stuff around on me

[round sluice]

I'm right on your tails, at 54. I feel all of that

[narrow fulcrum]

these old movies make me think of asbestos

[graceful marlin]

51 very soon 52 over here. 🖐🏻

[clear pumice]

47 but I feel like I'm older most of the time online haha

[ocean belfry]

I just turned 20 this year and I already hate it 😭

adulting is so different from eating play doh and making mud pies

[bold barn]

I'm almost 40 and still don't know how to adult

[stark pebble]

<-- 6 0 in a few months :P

[round sluice]

No worries. Only 80 more to go. I'm sure it'll get better

[graceful marlin]

In related news, David Bowie is my birthday twin.

[ocean belfry]

this makes me feel valid

[random juniper]

WHAT? lol, I don't get it

[bold barn]

Good. I literally had a root beer float for breakfast today

[tough steeple]

HOLA

[random juniper]

Oh, not "adulting" again. Such an odd phrase for what we've all been doing forever. 😆

[ocean belfry]

oooooh I just had chick fil a but a root beer float sounds amazing

[round sluice]

I'm studying Spanish. One of the lessons the other day is I had to say, "Yo soy un adulto." I was like, "Well, that... that's a lie"

[random juniper]

I'm not the oldest around? That's been pretty rare, lol. 🫂

[tough steeple]

ya'll talking about food?? T^T omg i'm on my lady time and craving literally everything

i'm craving a fillet-o-fish

[random juniper]

Still working on it at late 54, lol.

[random juniper]

Omg, I'll take a rootbeer float as well! Sounds grat right now.

[round sluice]

I honestly like those, but I always have them leave off the cheese. This does 2 things

1. I really don't like cheese on fish, so yeah
2. I always get a fresh one, since they add the fish, ahead of time, and keep them in a warmer. By nixxing the cheese, I always get a new one

[stark pebble]

You get used to it. I understand about 2/3 of what people say. LOL Every year it gets worse :P

[tough steeple]

oo i didn't know that.

i'm lack toes and taller ants

but I still love cheese

[round sluice]

No McD's "cheese" slabs, for you... though I doubt they are made of real milk. Pretty sure they're a form of packing material

[rain pilot]

anyone know where he lost his lunch theres like 12 waterfalls on this map with flowers and shade

[random juniper]

Yeah, I let a lot pass by without worrying about it... or I rolll my eyes at it. 😉

[tough steeple]

the canopy in the beginnng

[desert pewter]

||It's a gazebo in the northern part of the first map.||

[round sluice]

Yes. His clue gives it away. However, if you really want to know... ||it's in the gazebo, near the Phoenix temple, where you first started the game||

[tough steeple]

i was gonna say kazoo lmaooo

[rain pilot]

i went there, wait wrong temple

[random juniper]

At least you've adopted the "noseless" emojis (aka: smileys). I still use noses. It just feels wrong without it!

[desert pewter]

I'm not even 30 yet and I remember nose emojis

[random juniper]

Yes, but I actually still type them lol. They used to be called smileys, by the way.

[tough steeple]

i got stuck under the cave fishing pier in bahari mining caves T^T

[random juniper]

Time to break out the "my first computer was made by Texas Instruments, before there were IBM compatibles, and had 16K of RAM" story yet? Yes, 16K as in 16 kilobytes. Megabytes? What's that?

[round sluice]

I've a friend who recently got a free smart phone. They're a 20 year sub to the same wireless carrier. When the company forced them to give up their flip phone, they agreed to buy my friend the dumbest flat phone they could offer. The first thing my friend did was remove the browser

[desert pewter]

Woaaah

[random juniper]

Now that's...something, Cross.

[fringe talon]

is it just me or are flares hard to see and arent bright enough somehow

[graceful marlin]

/unstuck in the chat

[random juniper]

Did they break the screen as well, maybe rip out the volume and power buttons?

[stark pebble]

Stick around. You'll see I use smileys all the time. I used ascii art for ages but after being asked 'what the heck is THAT?1' I stopped

[limber pawn]

#📢│palia-news message what is this rummage piles?

[dense sparrow]

Any ETA on gifting? 🥲

[desert pewter]

This may be random but I think it's a sign of a truly cozy and welcoming game when the age range is comparable to Disney, kids of all ages. xD

[round sluice]

My first one I, personally, owned was a Timex/Sinclair, with the RAM upgrade, so I had 8K. Yes, 8K
My family, though, did already own an Apple IIe, at the time
And, now, I have an IT degree I never use 🤷🏽

[random juniper]

ASCII art, yes! We used that for typing practice in the typing class we took in grade school or junior high, actually.

[graceful marlin]

Who remembers the Commodore 64?

[desert pewter]

My first was a Windows 95 Compaq Presario. No one seems to remember the Compaq PC anymore so I sorta relate.

[stark pebble]

dusts off her TRS 80 ;)

[round sluice]

I still own one. It's got the mod, so it works like a 128

[random juniper]

I considered that same Timex/Sinclair, but then the 16k TI/99-4a came out with 16k!!! And a real keyboard.

[graceful marlin]

Do you still have the cassette tape drive?

[random juniper]

Ah yes, the Trash 80! Green screen or amber?

[stark pebble]

Want to have some real fun? Pull out a rotary phone for your kids date. See if they 1.know what it is and 2. Know how to operate it :P

[round sluice]

No, but I have the 5.25" floppy drive. The older one, with the fold down closure, and not the swing over one

[random juniper]

Lol, the computer I had just had an option to buy audio cables to connect to a standard tape recorder. Saving successfully was not fun, lol.

[graceful marlin]

Sssschlip tp tp tp tp ah, those were the days.

[random juniper]

The zero took so long to go around....

[round sluice]

We have a functional rotary, in our basement. You should have seen the cable tech's look, when we told him he'd have to install the adaper thingamy. The one he brought, the next day, literally had a layer of dust on the box

[random juniper]

How about the first TV remotes, big boxes on long cables?

[stark pebble]

Black and white since the first ones were coordinated between Tandy and RCA

[graceful marlin]

The memories, it’s the first computer I ever used. We had one in our 3rd grade class and if you got 100 on the spelling test the first time you got 15 minutes free time on it.

[round sluice]

I was my family's first remote. "Hey. Go change it to channel 8. The news is about to come on"

[stark pebble]

Oh that's funny. Yeah ours has an adapter that they had to send away for. Since NO one in our state still uses them. They've even gotten rid of landlines for anything but businesses. I bet we're the only household with a landline in our village

[thorny yoke]

anyone know if the spooky cash register is going away with the next update?

[stark pebble]

Not sure there has been any official word yet on whether or not it'll still be here after the 7th

[thorny yoke]

gotcha. just wanna know how long i have to get more pumpkins

[graceful marlin]

You had to be big mad to make an angry call on a rotary phone because dialing provided a lot of cool down time.

[round sluice]

I live in one of those horrible USA "subdivisions". Of the 250 or so houses, in my neighborhood, we are the only rotary
When we told the tech we had to have that kind of line, for our fax machine, he rolled his eyes so hard, I thought he might sprain his skull 💀

[icy dragon]

[stark pebble]

That's funny :P

[round sluice]

Yeah, but you could still slam down the receiver. Worth it! 😂

[placid path]

what is a rummage pile

[limber hatch]

Angry button press is not the same 😦

[stark pebble]

I STILL have to be careful not to slam down my cell phone. Excuse me ... Mobile phone. eyeroll lol

[placid path]

just slam it down on something soft like a pillow or bed

[stark pebble]

nonono, once a habit always a habit :P

[graceful marlin]

My friend in school had one of those old 1940s style rotary phones in the kitchen and you could take someone out with that receiver, it must’ve weighed 10 lbs. it’s hard to do a good angry hang up on a cell.

[limber hatch]

Slam yourself down onto something soft instead of the phone!

[round sluice]

Life partner: What happened to your phone
Me: I may have thrown it out the window
LP: Of the moving car!?
Me: ... So... What would you like for dinner?

[placid path]

slamming it down on something soft is a whooooole lot cheaper than slamming it on something hard lmao

[stark pebble]

Can't even slam doors or drawers with all of the soft close. What's a gal to do ?

[placid path]

get new doors/drawers that dont soft close lmaooooo

[round sluice]

Oooooh! The old Bakelite ones. Nice

[graceful marlin]

Yup, Bakelite the gateway to plastic.

[limber hatch]

Go she hulk and slam down the whole vanity and counter!

[round sluice]

At least sinks and pans are still metal. Can still make a heck of a racket... but the person on the other end of the phone doesn't hear it, so what's the point, really

[graceful marlin]

My mom still has an old cellenoid Felix the cat Christmas ornament.

[stark pebble]

Toasty grins I made dessert in your honor tonight. We had glazed cinnamon rolls.

[round sluice]

My mom would not approve. Felix started off in "dirty" films, and my mother is against such things
Still sounds like a cool ornament, though

[graceful marlin]

Lol, I didn’t know that about Felix.

[surreal ermine]

So Felix was a messy cat huh

[round sluice]

I think that's right? Isn't Felix the one who used to be in Betty Boop films? I may have that wrong. I'm not that old

You're not wrong

[round sluice]

I find it's worst when doing major deforestation, such as Flow farming. Yeah, it's super annoying

[graceful marlin]

I feel dumb when I chop and it’s really not there.

[round sluice]

If it's doing it with a lot of trees in a small area, maybe try running through them, first? If it stops you, then chop

[graceful marlin]

Seems kinda hard on the face.

[cloud cove]

Your friend is smarter than us all

[random juniper]

Same, lol. But the one after me was a brick on a cable!

[unique pecan]

Hi

[acoustic frigate]

Flow Tree Groves can’t come fast enough

[round sluice]

My first cable box looked like a greige brick, with a slider, and a roller. 3 tiers, of about 30 channels, each. Totally mechanical. The only thing digital about it was having to go use one's digits to slide it

[graceful marlin]

When Xfinity was Cox Cable

[round sluice]

Oh, decades before that, but you're sweet to think I'm anywhere near that young

[graceful marlin]

We had that same box and if you positioned the slider just right you could see flickers of Mr Hefner’s channel through the static.

[random juniper]

Hell, some of us remember when Ma Bell was the major telephone carrier, and you paid for long distance by the minute. Long distnce wasn't even that far away, lol.

[sharp remnant]

when will palia be available on all region?

[round sluice]

Oh, I have so many stories, for that. I'd have to switch to "off topic", though

[round sluice]

Early version of "microwave" TV, as opposed to "satellite". Came, and went, within about 2 years, in the early '80s

[limber hatch]

This man was such a troll. There is a very exclusive country club, where if you are famous you cant join, and if you are a member and change your shoes in the parking lot, your membership is revoked. He was kinda miffed because he had a house that backed onto the course.. So he decided to start an exotic bird sanctuary.. Full of peafowl. Whenever they have tournaments there you can hear the birds screaming

[random juniper]

But my first game console was a giant black plastic and silver top Colecovision, with 8 games, all variations on Pong. One unique thing, though, was it had a light sensing gun (western gunssliinger style) to use to shoot a bouncing cube on screen.

[round sluice]

Heh. My first "console" was Pong. Got an Atari 2600, pretty soon after, though

[clear pumice]

it should be available in all regions on PC at the moment, if you're asking if they're making servers for other regions we don't have that information yet

[ocean inlet]

I love how generationally diverse this community is; it's really cool to hear everybody's experiences with technology :)

[random juniper]

Friend of mine had a 2600. That was a fun machine. We really loved a game that was like fantasy chess... I can't remember the name, though.

[round sluice]

I met him. He was nice enough, but we were at a charity event. I've heard a lot of people say he was a total jerk

[sharp remnant]

i can't seem to download from epic games since it said not available in my region.

[limber hatch]

People do tend to be nicer at chairty events than they are else where

[clear pumice]

can you access it directly from S6's homepage at https://palia.com/

[crystal pond]

My launcher is having a time tonight 😂

[random juniper]

Remember how you connected those early units to a "screen"? Unscrew the UHF (round) antenna from your TV and insert the two pronged flat cable attached to a box in betweeen the TV and antenna, then tighten it again.

[astral tundra]

it wont let me open the install through epic games it just goes away no error or nothing

[graceful marlin]

I always thought he was creepy.

[clear pumice]

I'm out of the loop, is there an ongoing issue with the launcher?

[sharp remnant]

i'd like to make payment for ingame currencies.. but i don't live in where paypal exists.

Try the #💻│tech-help channel, maybe they can help you there. (Not sure why it's initially hidden, but it exists!)

[astral tundra]

[clear pumice]

ah yeah like Sharra says you might be able to find more help there

[limber hatch]

Just a touch. He did go above and beyond to get back at people who crossed him though.. Sometimes I wish I had the money to do that kinda thing

[graceful marlin]

I watched The Girls Next Door and never believed everything was as sunny as they made it appear

[limber hatch]

They def. didn't want to air all the not so secret dirty laundry

[random juniper]

Seriously! I can't imagine where tech will be 20 or 30 years from now with things changing so fast already. Assuming we don't wipe ourselves out first, that is.

[round sluice]

Right? I watched a thing about just how fast "AI" (it isn't really, but whatever) is advancing. Both exciting, and scary as...

[young bison]

do all the bugs, fish and insects have starred versions we can keep?

[graceful marlin]

Isn’t AI going to wipe us all out by then?

[round sluice]

Yes. I wish you the very best of luck

[limber hatch]

AI will determine that humans are the greatest threat to human existence.

[random juniper]

Either we will or AI will, which is still our fault anyway.

[young bison]

Technically I guess. I just wonder how many food buckets you need to hold out that long.

My housemate says the kids need to go look up all these jokes on microfiche, and VHS

[random juniper]

Oh god, microfiche was horrible with a capital H, O, R, RIBBLE.

[reef shard]

microfiche. The word alone is a time capsule of its own...

[graceful marlin]

When I was a kid, I thought it meant a small fish.

[random juniper]

They might need to know what newspapers and printed magazines are as well, then.

[round sluice]

Same, TBH

[random juniper]

Don't make me choke on my drink! (I probably did as well... sounds familiar)

[graceful marlin]

Shout out to overhead projectors and AV carts!

[random juniper]

Then there was the Dewey Decimal System (not sure if I spelled that right)

[graceful marlin]

Oh and don’t forget reel to reel tapes and projectors!

[random juniper]

And mimeograph machines!

[reef shard]

Overhead projectors what my teachers called it.

[graceful marlin]

Oh man I used to love getting to help the teacher with that, I liked the smell of the chemicals it used.

[random juniper]

Mimeograph machines, getting kids buzzed since grade school....

[round sluice]

Y'all are killing me. I was in the AV Club, in high school, in the '80s. I also worked at a local PBS TV station. So, so , sooooo many reel-to-reel, VHS 40mm, 32mm, and other such machines. I can still splice tape, by hand

Omg, and Montgomery Ward & JC Penny!

[reef shard]

Shooot.... what was the name of the catalogue the school forced us to take home every year... Uh... Holiday something.

[random juniper]

Oh we're already traveling, way too far down memory lane.

[graceful marlin]

Scholastic Book order forms

[reef shard]

That too!

[round sluice]

OMG! I always pick up any soft publications, such as catalogues, magazines, pamphlets, etc., from the back. It took me decades to realize this came from Sears and J.C. Penney catalogues, as a kid. The toy section was always in the back, so I developed that habit. It's craaazy the things that stick with us, from childhood on

[graceful marlin]

.the hours my sister and brother and spent pouring over those pages…good times

[random juniper]

Oh yeah!

Damn, I was in the Scouts and they had us sell things from a "Tom Watts Kit" that was a big cardboard suitcase full of gadgets and junk, and we actually went door to door as young kids asking to be let into strangers homes alone to show them all the items we had for sale!

[ornate stone]

All I can think about is Jina sitting across the table listening to you all with stars in her eyes and a crammed notepad in her hands.

[sharp beacon]

Tom Watts kits were the best!!

[graceful marlin]

Be kind, please rewind.

Yeah, but looking back at all those little kids going into all those strangers houses alone.... Not a good idea at all.

Have anyone measured how much data does Palia consume on a play session?
My home will be out of internet for awhile cause we got hit by a huge storm and there is no ETA to fix it
So I have to use cellular data to do my stuff for now but it is very limited so...

[gilded hemlock]

Thank you! I really appreciate the advise!

[random juniper]

No idea how much, but I'd imagine it would eat a lot on a metered connection due to theh constant back and forth flow of data to keep the client and server in sync.

[round sluice]

Rather a lot. Just switching from, say, Kilima to Bahari causes a chunky DL. I suggest waiting, but YMMV

[graceful marlin]

As was I, I had to watch my siblings after school starting from age 12.

[wary tulip]

Alright, anybody got the big secret for catching an Ancient Fish?

[random juniper]

Speaking of "metered connections," wasn't Everquest originally pay by the HOUR? Lots of people lost a lot of money to that game. I wasn't playing MMOs quite that early, though.

[round sluice]

Responsible. I'm sure that was both stifling, and amazing, in different ways

[random juniper]

I was the youngest of four, with the other three being 7, 8, and 9 years older than me, so I was the annoying little brother. 😁

[round sluice]

Be as patient as ... and live as long

[graceful marlin]

Exactly that, I’m the oldest of 3 we were home alone in summer too from my being 12 on, we lived in a really small rural town.

[hexed mortar]

Damn I was hoping I could get away with playing palia with it
My gaaardeeen aaaaa -pouts-

[round sluice]

Same. However, I was the only one not on (insert team here), so I was the one who got home earliest, and had to straighten and all that. At least I didn't have to try to get them to do anything. They never listened [listen] to me

[graceful marlin]

I haven’t tried for the ancient yet, I had to wait and heal from the unicorn fish.

[random juniper]

Well, at least garden crops don't expire so they'll be there when you get back. Silver lining? No? I tried....

[clear pumice]

remember to use your buffs like Fisherman's Brew and Sashimi or Trout Dinner and the fishing together buff and such and keep trying, it's a rare fish so it can take a long time to get one

[random juniper]

Aaaaand I just remembered I didn't do my gifts/weekly wants yet today. Argh!

There's a great site to track them over the week, and daily gifts as well - https://www.paliatracker.com/

[clear pumice]

I hope rummage piles have stuff like books and odds and ends you can put on shelves

[fast otter]

luckily one of the first sites i found thank you though still!!

[random juniper]

There are some seriously well made web tools out there for this game, from the farm plot planner to gift tracking and cooking party invite/setup tools.

[sharp beacon]

This would be the best possibility. I hope you're right

[graceful marlin]

I have everyone but Tau at 4, and I’m so close there. I have romance at 4 with Hassian and I’m nearly at level 3 with both Reth and Naio. I’m waiting on Hodari since everyone says L3 is borked with him.

[fast otter]

i have so much to learn, i didnt know the farm plot out matters

[fast otter]

JEALOUS

[random juniper]

Yes, because of the benefits that plants give to their neighbors, like weed prevention, harvest increase, quality increase, water retention.

I will probably end up romancing everyone eventually, I enjoy the quests and I want all the photos.

[fast otter]

ahhh thank you so much!!

[random juniper]

Oh, and i forgot about this great interactive map - https://palia.interactivemap.app/?map=1

[fast otter]

i get that haha the urge to get it 100%

also only have one not at friendship 4... cause I don't wanna be friends. 3 maxed romances so far. But wins haha

[graceful marlin]

And the wiki https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Palia_Wiki

[random juniper]

Right now I'm just using a simple pattern of tomatoes, potatoes, and wheat to max tomato production and keep everything watered all the time after initial watering.

[surreal ermine]

[random juniper]

Some good money in tomato sales. Much better in cake parties, though Started those last night.

[graceful marlin]

Hassian will always be #1 for me, and likely the only pin I wear. I get his general distrust of humans.

[random juniper]

Hassian's pretty cool, I agree. Could see going for him, but there's Tish...!

And don't get me wrong, that Tamala.... But Tish has my heart.

[sharp beacon]

Hassian's romance line is so wonderful. But Reth's my guy

[graceful marlin]

Tish is lovely but a bit too nice and positive. I fear an impending nervous breakdown is imminent.

[random juniper]

I seriously want a new character model that's even half as curvy as Tamala and I'd be happy, lol.

[graceful marlin]

Reth is utterly charming, and we do share an abiding love of soup.

[sharp beacon]

completed Nai'o romance too but wasn't for me except for the last thing he ssid. Then I was like 🥺

[random juniper]

True, she just needs a solid anchor to help stabilize her. Or, in her case, a deeply-rooted tree.

[graceful marlin]

Oh, don’t spoil it, but I am now incredibly curious.

[random juniper]

Yeah, but lettuce soup? What was he thinking?

[lean pier]

she has a basement?!

[random juniper]

Wait, what? Is that where the guy that previously owned my land disappeared to?

[round sluice]

Do not check the basement

[graceful marlin]

We all make mistakes.

[random juniper]

Hey, if they didn't find the body then she did something right.

[graceful marlin]

What? 👀

[gilded hemlock]

[random juniper]

We all have skeletons in the closet...which may or may not be in the basement.

[round sluice]

If someone suddenly disappears, and soup suddenly gains meat, question

[graceful marlin]

Jel helped.

[lean pier]

Nai'o was my first ig crush so, I must rep that pin

[random juniper]

I believe it. He's always been a bit off and too interested in cooking.

[round sluice]

I'm just saying, like "It's always the one you least expect", or "the shy, quiet types"

[sharp beacon]

I like Reth's layers. There's something comforting about it to me.

I won't spoil anything. And it might not even play out the same way. It was just something that in that moment that just struck me.

[random juniper]

For the Soylent Green fans: "Lettuce soup is people! It's people!"

[lean pier]

After getting almost everyone to level four am I crazy for thinking I want Reth as a shepp

[round sluice]

the only one I want as Shepp is Eshe. Who am I to judge? 🤷🏽

[random juniper]

Depends. How much do you like soup? He carries a flask of it on him at all times, you know. He's a bit soupy....

[lean pier]

I'm living somewhere cold. I could use more soup in my life. Its better than the puns LOL

[random juniper]

Hey, we can call him Soupy Sales after that old comedian!

[graceful marlin]

I have wondered if the ability to choose responses determines story direction, like the old Choose Your Own Adventure books.

[round sluice]

I do like Badruu, but this is a valid point

[random juniper]

Hey, you leave Badruu and his puns out of this!

[narrow compass]

the obstacle course using furniture is so funny to me, i like this

[tough steeple]

Oh i want Badruu or Delialia to be my shepp

[graceful marlin]

Eshe is fabulous!

[random juniper]

I've been picking up the pun slack at the cake parties, lol.

[round sluice]

It seems their logic all circles back around. More a "false impression of choice"

[sharp beacon]

No. I am team Reth's no matter what haha. I didn't choose him for Shepp but I can see a good reason for it. 🙂

[clear pumice]

I broke up with all of my romances for Hodari, but I think I might redo Hassian's and keep him too, Jel and Reth were getting on my nerves though being so needy 😂

[lean pier]

I thought the elemental type would impact more how you engage with characters. Lowkey dissapointed it doesn't

[tough steeple]

wowwww no robot love in chat

[random juniper]

I feel like you'd end up tied up in some very tight "gear" with her...

Do you have to break up with someone to romance another?

[graceful marlin]

Ha ha, I can see it. She’s the crack the whip type for sure!

[tough steeple]

Hoari seems like a good dad but I'm not sure I'm ready to be a step mother

[round sluice]

Stop. I already like her. You don't need to sell me

[lean pier]

wait if you breakup you restart from scratch.

Also for Einar, I am just perplexed by his romance. Idk... pursuing him makes me feel like I am dragging him into love

[clear pumice]

Einar is too pure for my rotten soul

[random juniper]

Bahahahahahahahahaha!

Honestly, that's what makes Tamala a close second. Combine her and Tish into one, please!

I love Einar, I wish fishing by him at his dock was easier that bounce back is annoying.

[sharp beacon]

Loved those books! (There's an author who made a couple for adults - not like racy to clarify)

I don't think it changes the storyline but I think the line was dependent on your response. it was just cute. haha don't get your hopes up to high

[tough steeple]

Einar is tall, has a hobby, and always there when you need them

[random juniper]

Argh, an hour to midnight! My gifts! I need to do that now, lol.

[lean pier]

I just... its good standards.. maybe a bit too vauge... and baseline. I like Einar I'm just waiting to see more. Only lvl 2 right now

[graceful marlin]

I won’t but hats off to the dialogue team because sometimes they make me giggles and sometimes they kick me square in my feels.

[tough steeple]

If Einar read instead of fished then he'd be my irl boyfriend LMAOOO i was texting my bf earlier while he was at work telling him I'm haning out with my Palia boyfriend Einar

uh oh EInarbot messaged me because I said something a little too over the line T^T

[round sluice]

I'm more "on Eshe's side", here, rather than a "willing recipient"
Tish just bores me, personally. Nothing in common
I'm not allowed to express my opinion of Tamale, anymore. I was told, and probably correctly, my view on her could be "not cozy". I just avoid her like a plague

[eager hornet]

hi all, finally got thru the annexing game files ☠️

[tough steeple]

dang >.< i was just kidding lmaoo i'm sowwy Einarbot

[graceful marlin]

So…like you’re sorta under a Tamala restraining order?

[lean pier]

She seems the type to hand those out like flyers

[narrow compass]

yo the obstacle hourse is so hard lol

[round sluice]

I feel she needs one, from everybody. Skeevy

[sharp beacon]

I agree. I love the dialog and its well thought out. Helps round out the characters and be more real. The funny lines, the romantic lines, the sad lines. All of it. My favorite NPCs in a game where you can learn about them like this, for sure

[lean pier]

oh my god I just realized your username is cross crossed out not gross.... T-T

[graceful marlin]

It’s interesting that nobody talks about Chayne.

[round sluice]

Whatever. Been called worse

[clear pumice]

I like Chayne but he's definitely got Opinions 😂

[sharp beacon]

I feel indifferent to Chanye

[lean pier]

I think the dialouge is so impactful but, with time I hope we get more and more inbetween the big four landmarks because sometimes, I feel the development in character is a bit too fast or different from the previous expectation that it leaves me upsetish. Like Chayne is a great example of that. No spoilers but, his progression feels a smidge out of pocket/character to me.

[graceful marlin]

I feel distrustful of Chayne

[round sluice]

I only remember Chayne when I pass him on the road, or when I'm chasing sernuk or bugs, by the temple

Honestly, even though I will never understand vegetarianism, I do feel a bit bad, hunting in the temple, after he said he doesn't eat meat

[clear pumice]

I love that Hodari refuses to go to Chayne for his back and his sleep problems and instead goes to Tamala despite her being a walking HR violation

[sharp beacon]

Even though he does not partake, he doesn't shame others for it. He just has his choice

[round sluice]

I'm not saying Chayne ever ||ended someone in the pool, behind the temple, but it wouldn't surprise me||

[graceful marlin]

Ha ha ha, 💀. Also I agree.

[lean pier]

if he did it was an accident and it spurred his deeper devotion

[sharp beacon]

also he's Hassian's (and Sifuu's) Shepp so he knows hunting is happening

[lean pier]

sifuu boggles me

[graceful marlin]

It’s a strange dichotomy isn’t it, that Chayne the pacifist vegetarian would be shepp to Sifuu and Hassian, enthusiastic beast killers?

[robust sierra]

Well it's not like Shepp has anything to do with path so I guess it's fine?

[round sluice]

Maybe they're looking for balance?

[graceful marlin]

Quite possibly.

[ocean cradle]

I think it's important to remember that Hassain, while he is a hunter, does have a high respect for nature and doesn't believe in wasting any part of his kill. He states that in a few dialouges with him.

[lean pier]

I think she is one of the more well rounded characters that I've seen in a game. Like she has a variety of interests and I guess in a way what confuses me is the dynamic of her and her || deceased or missing wife|| and Hassian. She has a strong personality.

[sharp beacon]

and they would have chosen him not the other way around.

[graceful marlin]

Yes, he has strong indigenous vibes in that respect.

[robust sierra]

I blame her writing style for making it so confusing

[lean pier]

for sure. her general happy go lucky vibes and ||minimal vunerable experiences|| makes it feel wrong? or out of place?

[round sluice]

The one redeeming quality I've seen, which makes me treat as not entirely a write off. Genuinely like this, about him
But if anyone asks, I never said that, and still can't stand him

[robust sierra]

I think she just doesn't know how to express it

[lean pier]

But, for full clarity, I am very happy with the stories. Just excited and curious as to where things will go next.

[robust sierra]

"I want to write about my life" Goes on to lie about killing a super gorilla and then writes about how much her wife thought she was super cool

[sharp beacon]

I would argue that she's trying to balance her feelings. Like she both wants to hang on but also wants to let go. ||And that's a hard line if you are grieving. Cause there's no precise time. It's in your own time.||

[round sluice]

I worry her clear intelligence, yet seeming cluelessness, create some kind of coping mechanism for her. I genuinely hope all ends well for her

[lean pier]

Do you think when they bring in the new character they will be written as if they were always there?

[clear pumice]

Sifuu doesn't day drink because she's happy with how things are 🥹

[robust sierra]

Also how to tag spoilers I'm sorry I wrote that without blanking things out :(

[round sluice]

No. I think they'll have been sent, by the Capitol.
I just hope they're genuinely concerned and curious, and not just authoritarian

[lean pier]

uh..double lines | | together though no space

[sharp beacon]

You can put || before and after what you want to hide

[robust sierra]

Dumbeldore ||dies||

[round sluice]

You can also highlight the text, and use the 👁️ looking icon

[graceful marlin]

To tag spoilers put || at the beginning and end of the part you want redacted.

[clear pumice]

I am prepared to dislike the watcher since she's a cop, but on the other hand maybe her being there will help Auni find a different path other than becoming a cop

[sharp beacon]

forgot about that eyeball thing. I'm on mobile often so I have to use || do I just default to that

[ocean cradle]

I want to know where the heck they are going to live. In the Inn? Will a new homestead open up? Will a new area open up?

[robust sierra]

Going back to MSN messenger and IRC channels haha

[round sluice]

Well! Now I'll never watch it!... a 4th time

[lean pier]

It will probably be lost in text but you can edit it in now too. or at anytime.

[surreal ermine]

: fair

[lean pier]

Oh the inn makes so much sense. Also I was so mad when I started and Ashura said oh we have no rooms and I looked behind him at the 8 hanging keys.

[round sluice]

I would think a room in the Inn. Or, maybe, a plot like ours?

[lean pier]

Nah we need Auni to go in there as an activist for humans and our right to use flow to better our community

[pure pendant]

I haven’t played for a couple of months. Have they added any substantial new content? New zones or critters to hunt or anything?

[round sluice]

Wow. Good eye for detail

[sharp beacon]

From the start, I was hoping with the inn being a sort of hub, that there would be visitors coming and going.

[lean pier]

I'm more of a puzzle gamer than cozy. Didn't know the vibes yet.

[ocean cradle]

New animal to hunt is coming soon, They added the Obstacle Course of Ultimate Anxiety, and were you here for the new temple?

[pure pendant]

No I missed the temple!

[sharp beacon]

Exactly. We couldn't stay there, the guest book is full but no one is using keys... and Ashura just uses a guest room to do his morning pushups

[round sluice]

Yes. A "market" zone came, and went. It was only temporary
They have vastly expanded Zeki's underground
Also, within that underground, there's an obstacle course, as one of the games
There have been 2 new quests added, at least one of which also opens up new chests to find, once completed

[lean pier]

for this reason, he will NEVER be my Shepp (semi jk)

[pure pendant]

Nice glad they’re working on it

[quasi cove]

Hi folks, where should I go on here to find help if I've logged in and out three times now, and my character still won't fully load into a playable place?

[graceful marlin]

Badruu talks about a traveling bard group playing there too and I was sad when I realized it’s not an actual thing.

[ocean cradle]

Maybe they were all reserved lol. Or those were all extra keys that some unknown cleaning staff had to use?

[robust sierra]

Is it worth mentioning very minor bugs. Like when you interact with the glow worm farm it loses collision for a sec

[graceful marlin]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1135680775698792488

[sharp beacon]

it's all sus... 🤨

[rough wigeon]

I started playing on Wednesday anda lready have 12 hours in the game

[round sluice]

That would be cool, if , say, once a week, there was a group playing music, over by those front windows
I'd then, of course, want to interact with them, but I could certainly understand if they were just musical window dressing

[lean pier]

General question; have I just progressed or does it seem that lately characters are asking leading questions like today Badruu asked me ||if I thought his wife and him had lost their spark|| Like are these little passing bits maybe one day new coming quest/storyline.

[quasi cove]

UPDATE... traveling to home fixed it. Dunno why I didn't think of that right off the bat, but better late than never. Thanks for the help.
Also, welcome to the game new folk!

[round sluice]

There is a ||mini quest, about that. You help him find a thing, and she reacts well||

[lean pier]

Where should I report a maybe kinda typo it looks like the coding was not formatted correctly so we have some residual coding showing in the text?

[graceful marlin]

Yes, it would also be cool if you could really play cards with Auni and Hassian, like the chapaa chase game at Zeki’s, a mini game in the game.

[sharp beacon]

Badruu just wants to rejoin them and JAM. #jamfam - but yes, you are correct. forgot about that and I'd love to see a musical even happen somewhere

[lean pier]

This was ||after I did that one. Maybe it was something I was supposed to read before but if thats the case I should be able to be like but remember she loves that thing we did. ||

[round sluice]

True, but dang... programming game logic is hard enough. Doing so with interactive characers would be a serious chore

[graceful marlin]

It would be cool! #JamFam get your jam on, apple, blueberry, and lute!

[graceful marlin]

I suppose, but a girl can dream 💭

[lean pier]

could set it as a local minigame and when they are not playing cards based on times you play with cpu and when they are characters come in with custom reactions.

[round sluice]

If you've already done ||the lute thing, where he plays a song for Dalaila||, then I don't know. I hope it's nothing serious, as I find them charming and adorable

[robust sierra]

Is there any penalty to roleplaying the village bike and dating everyone at the same time?

[lean pier]

oh no, I have little faith in love aside from them. That's why I'm wondering if I need to play cupid here to keep my in game OTP going strong

[round sluice]

Nope. You're welcome to be the doorknob. The villagers won't be angry

[sharp beacon]

Delaila needs more than paprika!

[graceful marlin]

Nope, romance to your amorous delight. Remember as you romance every npc, they’re romancing many players too. Fair is fair.

[robust sierra]

Excellent

[lean pier]

I heard in passing that Tish and Reth don't like that but, I don't know if thats misinterpreting.

[surreal ermine]

now that's a term i'd never heard before

[hoary summit]

Go to bed 🗞️🗞️🗞️🗞️

[robust sierra]

Everyone gets a ride

[graceful marlin]

I have. || the village bike, everyone gets a ride||

[sharp beacon]

side note I want random dialog from someone saying they had a book club meeting ||cause these folks like their romance novels and I find it amusing||

[surreal ermine]

lawd

[hoary summit]

Yes hello im am lawd

[robust sierra]

I thought it was just Naio'h that liked romance

[sharp beacon]

there are at least 3

[lean pier]

if they gonna add a book club they better INVITE me. I like romance novels too.

[worldly ore]

I hope one day we can build a treehouse like Auni's in our home plot.

[round sluice]

Sifuu is writing a "totally true account" of one of her romances

[graceful marlin]

Auni outs ||Hassian|| for checking out romance novels at one point.

[robust sierra]

I should probably just read the list of books that were checked out again

[lean pier]

I feel like love is revered overall in palia

[robust sierra]

It's interesting how relationships seem to lean more monogamous once they decide to have kids

Unless Hassian and Najuma have different moms

[lean pier]

less time in general for the activities of dating when you have kids so, it makes sense.

[sharp beacon]

it's so funny to me. not so much him ||Hassian|| reading them, but Auni ratting him out. Auni and Celari are such gossips about who's reading what lol

[graceful marlin]

Kenyatta & Hodari are obsessed with mortality. Kenyatta always says “Hope you don’t get murdered” and Hodari is all “ Try not to get yourself killed”. It’s kin’s disconcerting.

[clear pumice]

Najuma's mom is definitely not either of Hassian's moms

[lean pier]

The whole ||serial killer|| storyline with Kenyatta is a bit too real LOL

[round sluice]

||I did not know this li'l tidbit. I'm not upset to find out their related. I just had NO idea||

[robust sierra]

Oh my god I forgot

[graceful marlin]

They are the Palian National Enquirers

[robust sierra]

They're not I'm dumb. I just assume because he lives in Bahari

[lean pier]

Did you think for a moment that they were divorced and splitting custody? because that's a funny storyline in my head now

[round sluice]

They know what |||| is like

[graceful marlin]

The first time she said there was a killer in Bahari killing women who look like her I was like 😳 dayuuum!

[thorny yoke]

just scrolling thru chat and just wanna say - hodari's warnings make sense. esp painful when ur dating him 😭 kenyatta is just a ~true crime girlie~

[round sluice]

Ah! Gotcha. coz I was all, ||"I cannot imagine Sifuu and Hodari making babies, together"||
And don't call my friend dumb

[robust sierra]

I would think before I write but my ADHD won't let me

[lean pier]

YEAAAH and she's kinda digging that Like I like true crime but, I'm not looking at active killers, She's too brave for me lol

[round sluice]

I feel that. My ADHD and I are often happy for the SlowMode

[clear pumice]

Kenyatta is curious about death from a place of safety, Hodari is haunted by it

[robust sierra]

For some reason I thought I'd read her saying that women around her age going 'missing' and I assumed she was making up personas

[graceful marlin]

When they announced Hodari being romanceable on Twitter/X and people were thirsting for Sifuu, one guy responded he couldn’t wait to get his pelvis crushed and I almost died laughing. 💀

[narrow compass]

is the ||halloween decor shop still open? is it a guy?|| i'm very late to the game

[round sluice]

Daaang! That'd be a cool storyline

[lean pier]

Kenyatta may be interested because of her ||path|| too. ||medical professionals|| have to think about what passing the veil may mean moreoften than most other professions.

[graceful marlin]

Yes, it’s still open. It’s a cash register on a cart behind Zeki’s store.

[narrow compass]

thank you
