[wispy wyvern]

That's entirely subjective and also a matter of time and practice. 😉

[sour scaffold]

Hi all!

[static mango]

yeah but theres some really talented people that can get the hang of it instantly and im just demoralized xD

[honest widget]

I've been practicing drawing lately. I'm still not good but might try something Palia inspired...

[wispy wyvern]

Making an apple look like an apple is one thing. Creating something of your own that evokes a feeling is entirely separate.

[magic brook]

practicing hurts my soul

[sand barn]

Don't weigh yourself against others but see your art for the unique you that you've imprinted on it

[loud axle]

T-minus 5 minutes~

[magic brook]

for what? :O

[loud axle]

E-3

[magic brook]

oh!

[gentle birch]

Forgot about that.

[static mango]

i can barely draw stickmen figures xD

[magic brook]

I've had my fill, Elden Ring got release date

[wispy wyvern]

I dabble but comparing my stuff to someone elses often does the same, I feel like I'm wasting my time, BUT I try and turn that around and use it as motivation to improve. It's by no means easy though. @static mango

[loud axle]

Just waiting for S6 to take the stage. "W-what's this? By god it's-it's Neleimour with a steel chair!"

[sand barn]

You can't improve art that hasn't been drawn!

[magic brook]

Looking at pinterest usually helps me to find inspiration if you're interested in trying that out! I love Varguy too, their stuff is great and reminds me of Studio Ghibli a bit

[sour scaffold]

[hidden lynx]

Hey Roan 🥰

[wispy wyvern]

And the creation of art and adding beauty to the world is beyond a doubt one of the greatest things.

[void imp]

you can too!! maybe there is a trick that works for you to get satisfying results quickly so you get confidence/muscle memory back and only then you start to draw free hand for example 💪 maybe don't jump into something completely original but do some warm. ups first

[loud axle]

Good afternoon Brittany! Hope you had a great night!

[static mango]

so much encouragement 😭

[hidden lynx]

I had a great night 🥰 thank you for hanging with me 🥳

[loud axle]

Of course! Sorry I couldn't stay for longer!

[sand barn]

This wholesome community will beat you into self improvement and positivity with kindness and compassion!

[magic brook]

yes for sure! gosh I think I'mma try doing that later and just start with shapes or some chibis

[hidden lynx]

Totally fine!

[wispy wyvern]

Want me to dm you some of my awful work?

[regal swallow]

Yeah! Positivity of Palien Pals!

[loud axle]

Literally. Was it two nights ago that I was yelling at Lunar Bunny? "LOVE YOURSELF MORE, DAMMIT."

[static mango]

sure :D

[sand barn]

Hahaha, yes I think so 😂 😂

[midnight radish]

Afternoon fam

[wispy wyvern]

It's also a matter of just getting stuck in, make mistakes, screw up, find a way round it or through it, turn those mistakes in to happy accidents.

[viscid aurora]

nice

[sand barn]

That's right I'm all in for the Palian Pals

[wispy wyvern]

AND I cannot stress this enough. There is no wrong way to do art

[loud axle]

...Did you hear about the guy who sold an invisible sculpture for like $12,000?

[magic brook]

yeah that guy is either a genius or the greatest con

[wispy wyvern]

you are yanking my leg? I wouldnt be surprised though

[magic brook]

both probably

[loud axle]

Hopefully we can tape a banana to our walls in Palia.

[static mango]

wb

[ocean plover]

does anyone currently play this game?

[loud axle]

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/italian-artist-auctioned-off-invisible-sculpture-18300-literally-made-nothing-1976181 Sorry 18k

[sand barn]

[tepid fossil]

lol get a load of this salvatore guy

[bright forge]

Devs

[loud axle]

In our imaginations 😦

[void imp]

maybe after i'm done drawing, but have you seen what i posted here? you can enter" from:nomi#2164 has:image " into the search bar (but one of the images will be official art, i only have two sketches here)

[magic brook]

:O I'mma peep some of ya' art too

[marble hedge]

I'm imagine creating a scarecrow, anyone got a pumpkin?

[void imp]

yes yes yes 🥰

[sand barn]

The art Channel is really good!

[wispy wyvern]

Oh geez

[loud axle]

Only corn, sorry

[magic brook]

omg that Chuu is so cute

[magic brook]

yes it is! maybe sometime I'll post there

[void imp]

thank you! i was waiting for the q&a and there was a demand for more tusks in the art channel 🤭

[sand barn]

I'll look forward to it! Im more of a writer myself

[void imp]

okay off i go

for now

[magic brook]

bye-bye! 👋

[magic brook]

same honestly but i love art and i've always wanted to be able to draw myself, i just can never keep up with practice

[void imp]

always so hard to tear myself away <3 it's like playing skipping rope if you wanna find a moment to leave the convo

[sand barn]

I've also been trying to practice more, but I feel that struggle

[tepid fossil]

haha that's a great imagery and comparison. see you later nomi

[sand barn]

We'll be here for when you come back! Or well, the people might have rotated but the spirit remains!

[surreal hazel]

i want an online game i can finally be an actual glassworker in. no game ive seen has actually done that before.

[wispy wyvern]

Buh glassworking blows...

😉

[surreal hazel]

lol

[lone crane]

RuneScape got glassblowing don't it 😆

RuneScape has it all 😔

[surreal hazel]

never played runescape

[lone crane]

If only it wasn't so combat intensive

[regal swallow]

Yes at the monastery as a part of crafting skill

[wispy wyvern]

I am all for glassblowing, tinkering...whatever, the more creating the better

[marble hedge]

Runescape doesn't have sword fights decided by tetris games...

[regal swallow]

Puzzle Pirates does

[marble hedge]

I miss Puzzle Pirates

[lone crane]

I can tell you that mabinogi has sword fights decided by insult fighting, that was fun.

[surreal hazel]

i agree, especially in a game like palia that doesnt focus on fighting, more art skills would be nice

[wispy wyvern]

Yeah I hope they really double down and capitalise on it

[faint dawn]

Not as its own but might be under crafting or smelting?

[mint kelp]

Maybe in like 2006

[surreal hazel]

they have a huge opportunity here

[magic brook]

i agree too! when i played ffxiv i wanted to just level with crafters but you kinda had to do combat for them

[faint dawn]

Elves vs giants.

Dk vs paladins

[wispy wyvern]

Dueling Banjos!

[surreal hazel]

painting, clay sculpting, glass blowing, furniture making, hat crafting. i want to see it all

[regal swallow]

Balloon crafting for the kid elves

[surreal hazel]

yes

[viscid aurora]

his bawoooon

[marble hedge]

I'm just hoping for a true player economy...

[surreal hazel]

face painting skill

[wispy wyvern]

To give them balloons? Or to inflate them as balloons?

[dawn hill]

Balloon animals!

[surreal hazel]

i just want skill to be involved, and not just clicking in a menu

[faint dawn]

Cursed comments kae..

[magic brook]

i can't remember who gave me the name but I'mma make the Grand Moony Exchange and shall RULE THE ECONOMY- or just give out stuff cause im awful with currency in games

[wispy wyvern]

I'm just checking, you know how bloodthirsty Shrew is.

[regal swallow]

🙂 I love you all

[timid drum]

did they say if they were showing anything at e3..sry if it's been asked

[surreal hazel]

dont think so

[regal swallow]

Too late to push the envelope but enough hype than their estimates

[surreal hazel]

they keeping all the secrets

[regal swallow]

Let them keep them, I shall explore in my ages past.

[surreal hazel]

im waiting for too many games at the same time, my blood pressure is too high

[regal swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/big-hero6-hug-baymax-comfort-gif-4000651

[marble hedge]

I'm waiting for games that don't exist even in concept...

[celest maple]

Same lmfao

[surreal hazel]

thanks i feel better now

[celest maple]

Psychonauts 2, Far cry 6, Evil dead : The game, Back 4 blood, Dying light 2, Lost Ark, D4, Elden ring

[void imp]

okay 😂 just wanted to tell you about me abesent mindedly grabbing my water, taking a sip and noticing a chunk between my lips. blew it off onto the bench i'm sitting on and it was an ant that just got up and started crawling away casually, little badass

[celest maple]

Such a pain having to wait for games D:

[regal swallow]

Hogwarts Legacy

[surreal hazel]

palia, d n d dark alliance, new world, valheim hearth and home patch, elden ring. too much stuff

[magic brook]

truuuu, but we can wait together

[summer obsidian]

Are you trying to make me cry?

[undone tartan]

I'm not gonna support a transphobic creator by purchasing Hogwarts Legacy.

[regal swallow]

No I'm sorrry!!

[summer obsidian]

Haha! Just playing. I'm just a huge Harry Potter nerd. Can't wait for that game

[dawn hill]

Did you play the virtual phone game when it came out?

[celest maple]

Isnt new world like p2w?

[summer obsidian]

Wizards Unite? the one like Pokemon Go?

[wispy wyvern]

Its gonna get monetized in to oblivion that one

[surreal hazel]

you mean pay to win? no, cash shop is cosmetics stuff mostly

[dawn hill]

The one like Pokemon. Was ok for a while but there was a definite pay to play wall

[covert creek]

im not too sure, but i think the devs dont support jk rowlin, and they said that they are trying to make it very inclusive, with trans support etc.

[shrewd fiber]

By using her IP she's getting money, more than likely.

[undone tartan]

And yet it's still using the Harry Potter IP, and thus JK Rowling will still get money from it.

[covert creek]

unfortunately thats true.

[shrewd fiber]

I'm not gonna slander anyone who wants to play. But I won't be playing it, myself.

[regal swallow]

What kind of magic do you think we will see in Palia, excluding the power of friendship of course!

[finite basalt]

Good day Palia chatters

[summer obsidian]

I obsessively played that game. I even went to their Fan Fest in Indianapolis. I have a ton of friends due to that game. However, I haven't picked it up at all since February. Got a dog and it's been too hard to play, so I've stepped away from it for now

[wispy wyvern]

Depends on her contract with them, she may have already been paid and given them IP useage.

[celest maple]

I ain't playing it because I don't like harry potter 😄

Boring imo

[faint dawn]

No magic skills planned..

[surreal hazel]

i feel like if they do mounts and pets, summoning them out of thin air might be as close as we get

[covert creek]

probably

[dawn hill]

I was obsessed with the original Ingress & did a few national groups but that got too expensive driving all over the place

[regal swallow]

What kind of things do you think we will find at the Institute Jina works?

[magic brook]

I can't wait to see what pets they have, I want all different kinds of dragons. Ones made out of leaves and water! I'mma peace out for now, y'all have a good one!

[surreal hazel]

cog wheels

[celest maple]

Nerd stuff

[sand barn]

Hmm maybe Jina keeps knowledge ?

[summer obsidian]

I think we might find out more about those ruins, I bet she will be studying them

[dawn hill]

Steam power ?

[regal swallow]

I bet Jina would be like a STEM class

[gleaming swift]

this is when u wait for devs to respond when they say emails has been send out

[faint dawn]

Can we not use a gif that flashes between light and dark...

[surreal hazel]

are they going to announce the keys going out or will they be ninja sent to avoid mass disappointment?

[covert creek]

id say ninja sent

[surreal hazel]

id assume so

[covert creek]

it would make alot more sense

[gleaming swift]

they will announce that

[celest maple]

what?

[faint dawn]

The flashes between a dark gray and a glowy white messes with ne..

[gleaming swift]

il remove it if really bothers you that much

[regal swallow]

Pressure plate minigame like musical chairs

[celest maple]

Can't appeal to everyone, the world isn't sugar coated. You stated it as if they knew you had this issue

[faint dawn]

Its pretty much gone now..

[gleaming swift]

if deleted

[analog grove]

hello!

[cinder comet]

best to avoid anything that flashes anyways. people have medical conditions that are effected by that

[regal swallow]

Hi!!

[celest maple]

It wasn't a flash

[bright forge]

guys E3 is up

[analog grove]

it wasn't really

[celest maple]

It was just a colorful anime then to discord grey mode

[gleaming swift]

yea but how wil one know if that person have that

[celest maple]

That isn't flashing whatsoever

[wild niche]

Does anyone watch Shadows House by chance?

[analog grove]

if it was strobe it might be different,not to be rude?

[celest maple]

Correct

[analog grove]

or like,manic flashing

[cinder comet]

just don't do it and then you don't have to worry about it. easiest course of action

[gleaming swift]

if only live was that simple

[faint dawn]

First off I was just saying.. second, rude as hell. Third, its common curtosy.

[cinder comet]

it..is that simple! that is why most games, etc. have warnings for those types of things, and why most shows, attractions, and advertising doesn't include it.

[rancid basin]

As someone who suffers seizures after a massive stroke and is missing 25% of my brain I'm pretty appalled at the response of someone requesting flashing gifs not be used.

[analog grove]

it was not a flash or very fast..

[wispy wyvern]

Additionally photosensitivity isn't the same in all sufferers.

[faint dawn]

It wasent fast, but it was still very jarring..

[cinder comet]

it doesn't have to be fast to create a reaction though

[rancid basin]

^

No one's saying you're a bad person for posting something that triggered their sensitivity just be polite and not use things like it anymore lol

[gleaming swift]

you cant stop people posting that on here. i did what i thought was right and deleted after words

[wispy wyvern]

Mine's dependant on if I have a migraine or not. Images can cause effects ranging from nausea, dizzyness and pain. Depending on said image and how bad my head is.

It costs you nothing to be considerate and accomodating when someone requests you take something down.

[faint dawn]

Yeah Hyper was really polite about deleteing it.... Don't be rude..

[rancid basin]

Fun fact. FFXIV had a certain sound with their ground collectible items that was triggering my seizures for some reason: I wrote to the company, and they changed their sound file within 4 months. (Pretty nifty.)

[cinder comet]

no one is being rude to hyper nor riding their butt on the matter. everythign said was informational, and a general discussion. no one is being rude on either side.

[celest maple]

There is an option under accessibility to disable GIFs from auto playing to help if someone post another gif that is deemed too bright

🙂

[analog grove]

geuine question,sounds can be certain triggers..?

[ornate owl]

where can i download the game

[analog grove]

or curiousity

[celest maple]

No where

[wispy wyvern]

Yep

[rancid basin]

As I found out very randommly, yes Cow.

[ornate owl]

give me the game

[wispy wyvern]

As can smells and sensations of touch

[gleaming swift]

not yet there wil be Pre-Alpha sign up on the website

[rancid basin]

I didn't think they could b ut every time I heard the sound I ended up either having an absent seizure or close to it.

[ornate owl]

do i get a special prize if i do the pre-alpha sign up thing

[analog grove]

oh interesting

[gentle birch]

Nope

[marble hedge]

You might get into Alpha

[rancid basin]

I was as surprised as you are when I figured it out Cow. lol

[gleaming swift]

perhaps getting invited to the pre-alpha if youre lucky

[analog grove]

no bloody dr has ever told me that

[nova patio]

you mean like a chicken sandwhich? I doubt it

[ornate owl]

hmm

[wispy wyvern]

You are going to feel so silly when they get a chicken sandwich.

[marble hedge]

Wait, a chicken sandwish is a possiblity?

[faint dawn]

Popeye's chicken sanwhich? 👀

fite me

[rancid basin]

I miss the Cheeto Chicken Sandwich so much 😭

[dawn hill]

I'm holding out for

[grim void]

What's a boulf?

[wispy wyvern]

[marble hedge]

There a rodent problem in here or something?

[grim void]

Oh, ok. Weirdly, that answers my question? XD I suppose they're a natural predator of the chapaa

[wispy wyvern]

More like a domesticated canid.

[grim void]

Oh, so most are prolly calling them good bois, huh?

[wispy wyvern]

Its not really come up, the Chapaa Chu debate has been taking centre stage

[grim void]

Understandable.

[faint dawn]

I dont mind they're called Chapaa

I like the name Chuu tho..

So I'd be happy to have an NPC Chapaa named "Chuu" you just see "Chuu" above it's head xD

Maybe play hide and seek with it

and you gotta find it around town

[analog grove]

oo yes

[keen aspen]

how about a random event of Chapaas raiding our garden XD

[marble hedge]

Oh sure... and once day Chuu sneaks up behind you and scares you, and you're all "AhhH! Chuu!!"

[faint dawn]

bless you

[gleaming swift]

To be honest in all fairness if they going to introduce Team Boulf i wil join that one

[faint dawn]

heheh

[topaz path]

and suddenly you are in a forced quarentine

[marble hedge]

😷

[analog grove]

ripperoni,at least lots of baking to do then?

[regal swallow]

We must build a Gingerbread house together 🙂

[analog grove]

yes!

blue fanta duck ponds

[spice wyvern]

[analog grove]

god what other candy/sweets?

cause all i can think of is whams :'))

[regal swallow]

Frog chocolates!

[analog grove]

FREDDO'S

maybe the dum dums as lights? ^-^

[naive vessel]

I made a meme

[analog grove]

oo

[sand barn]

[naive vessel]

you like it?

[analog grove]

not bad!

[sand barn]

We support all manners of contribution to this community, and I chuckled, so I'd say yes haha

[gleaming swift]

memes are the best

[analog grove]

agreed!

..dammit i don't have any palia specific memes ; - ;

[regal swallow]

I have no memes yet, but I have 1 story community art

[analog grove]

oo

[sand barn]

Looking forward to reading people's introduction to the game at some point

[forest hare]

Hello👋

[analog grove]

hiya!

oo yes

[keen pollen]

My curiosity for this game only grows each day!

[analog grove]

i just hope its not a massive wave of 13 year old trolls or if so,it dies down quickly

[gentle birch]

Ya, I can't wait until the info really start flowing. Might be a while, though.

[analog grove]

it'll be worth it though when it comes out

[languid tinsel]

morning folks

[bright forge]

On Monday we will get new villager reveal so that's something right?

[analog grove]

good afternoon and we do?

[languid tinsel]

is there a wiki page up or something? you guys seem to know a lot more than me haha

[wild niche]

It's gonna feel like ages till Monday now 😩

[bright forge]

I'm here since day 2

[wild niche]

Which day was the first day of this stuff?

[distant oriole]

will we have a gameplay video because of e3?

[wild niche]

Can't remember when Palia first posted, pretty sure I hopped in day one but can't remember

[gentle birch]

June 3rd?

[bright forge]

I think discord was made day before trailer reveal

[wild niche]

No guarantee and I personally doubt it since it's a smaller studio and the game isn't even Pre-Alpha

[distant oriole]

yeh me too, but at least we can hope xD

[wild niche]

Well if the post in Rules was made on day one of the server then I joined day one as well lol

Just did a quick check and rules were posted June 3rd and my first message in Introduction was June 3rd

[bright forge]

They will probably send 1400 pre alpha keys in 2 two weeks

[neat canyon]

How long do they take to answer you aabout the pre-alpha request?

[analog grove]

1400 o-o

[gentle birch]

They are doing monthly Q&As, but occasionally someone might post. No guarantees.

[buoyant imp]

I don't think they have a confirmation email set up, might have just keep track yourself whether you've signed up or not

[distant oriole]

ohh that reminds me, i wanted to apply for QA

[somber quest]

yeah, I never got a confirm about signing up. Just gotta wait and see.

[bright forge]

They will announce when thy send keys don't worry

[wild niche]

Yeah I doubt they'd send out confirmation emails to anyone that's submitted for the Pre-Alpha, that would be mad expensive lol

[floral owl]

anyone actually in already

[bright forge]

no one gets confirmation

[buoyant imp]

Not yet James

[fallow wind]

Hello beautiful people, everything okay? Or they want a surprise gift

[analog grove]

i bet so many people are gonna leave if there's no pre alpha item or whatever

[drifting shell]

being able to play pre alpha is the gift lol

[analog grove]

so true!

[civic axle]

i just signed up

[fallow wind]

Just wait this year

[civic axle]

learned about this game 10 mins ago

[analog grove]

oh i'm not bothered about the item,i'm just saying so many possibly might

[bright forge]

They said that no progress made in pre-alpha will be kept

[analog grove]

cause some people are idiots,not gonna lie

[gentle birch]

People really stop caring about a game if they don't get a pre-alpha item?

[analog grove]

yeah?

[bright forge]

read team-answers and check pinned doc for answers given so far

[gentle birch]

That's crazy, ha

[analog grove]

or rage/troll cause little kids

[civic axle]

i have no questions im going in with the vague explanation of "its an mmo animal crossing game" and thats it

[wispy wyvern]

I doubt that very much. Might lose a few self entitled folk but there ya go.

[analog grove]

good idea/plan

yep cause society

[blazing osprey]

is there a pre alpha date yet??

[bright forge]

I would advise to check it anyway

[gentle birch]

Soon™️

[foggy ingot]

soon/soon/2021

[blazing osprey]

got ya

[thorny bear]

Hot take, the alpha keys should be distributed between the ones who voted on #📮│public-polls

[gentle birch]

More keys to the people that voted #2 I hear.

[thorny bear]

Damn, i voted for 3 :(

[floral owl]

they said the have like 1500 slots total

[thorny bear]

Yep yep

[gentle birch]

1,400 slots with a separate smaller few for select people

[civic axle]

then i am not getting in

[bright forge]

1400 +some creators/investors

[floral owl]

yeah thats why i put it at 1500

[bright forge]

We have almost equal chance

[civic axle]

my luck aint there

[sharp void]

same

[soft mesa]

anyone wonder if we might see anything about Palia during E3 this weekend?

also, good timezone friends

[bright forge]

I think we will not see anything

[gentle birch]

Ya, I'm not even crossing my fingers for it. I'll gobble up the information in the next Q&A release on July 8th and hope that there are larger alphas/betas later.

[patent dust]

i think they said they werent going to do E3

also good afternoon everyone o/

[bright forge]

For me it's like lottery I may win if not idk

[finite basalt]

Good afternoon

[bright forge]

Hey Panda!

[soft mesa]

fair enough. I'll take whatever I cna get...

[celest maple]

Nice, It would be cool to see some E3 coverage 🙂

[void imp]

hi panda :3

[patent dust]

unfortunately a lotta people in this discord wont get in, and that sucks, but remember, theres going to be more iterations of testing as they approach release. They want those to have even more people, so youll probably get in then :D

hi nomi o/

[sinful ether]

I was secretly hoping for an announcement of opening the pre-alpha, since they made the announcement last week ahead of the hoopla. But on the other hand, it might have just been made last week to get the news cycle for themselves, and not get lost in the rest, which seems to have worked!

[civic axle]

i wonder how much money you could sell an account that has the alpha for :P

[brazen warren]

Evening! ❤️

[soft mesa]

yeah, I can definitely see that working great for them

[mystic gale]

Wait what’s this about select people? D:

[bright forge]

for like jail ticket i think

[keen aspen]

wipe after Alpha, so if there is no special item they give out it wont be worth anything

[celest maple]

Yep, I'd like to get in but either way we are a long way off from launch. It will be cool just to watch development. I'm sure there will be lots of twitch streams from those who get in. Unless there's an NDA.

[civic axle]

you'd be surprised. there will be people who will desperately want to play.

[gentle birch]

They made a clarification post in the #game-suggestions area. I'll see if I can find it. They said the 1,400 is the pre-alpha pool, but they may add some others like content creaters, etc. Small batch.

[mystic gale]

Ahhh gotcha. So it’s going to be like people with special ways to help them test, not just playing favorites with fans. Well that’s totally logical.

[bright forge]

To be honest If someone get alpha they will not "play"

[patent dust]

content creators, investors, and a few others like +1's from players selected who will be asked to bring a friend based on their survey response

[gentle birch]

https://discordapp.com/channels/809856101326913567/850043083265277992/852713760401784853

[mystic gale]

Yup yup, that makes sense.

[patent dust]

ty tslop, couldn't remember the exact wording and i just woke up T.T lol

[bright forge]

IF I get it and get a friend would you like it Panda?

[mystic gale]

I don’t think they’re going to want us trading invites. If they invite a specific person, they want that specific person’s feedback.

[patent dust]

theyre talking about bringing a +1 not trading

[void imp]

nda was confirmed

[patent dust]

some people will be asked to bring a friend

[neat quiver]

has anyone received alpha leys yet?

[bright forge]

PastelPanda is one of few persons that's may not want to but deserves a Key

[mystic gale]

Right but my impression is the +1 would be a specific person they mentioned? Not just “I want to bring a friend any friend” because well, a lot of us wrote that.

[patent dust]

and nah, if i dont get an alpha key ill just wait it out :P

[shrewd fiber]

They should make a bot that responds to the words "pre-alpha key" with "NOT YET"

[gleaming swift]

Pre-Alpha is there to test and develop to help the team to Se what system can run or wat issues the game has. For example exploits bugs glitches, is not really to play the game maby a little but don't expect much for huge content

[celest maple]

@void imp Ah well, we will all have the discord in any case 🙂

[keen aspen]

hah, I wish I had a friend to bring in the first place lol

[shrewd fiber]

relatable

I'd still vibe here if I don't get in.

[mystic gale]

Yeah, same. I’m expecting not to get in, but no matter what I’m in it for the long haul.

[bright forge]

If you don't get it I will wait here with you guys don't worry

[patent dust]

im just going based on this some we'll want to bring their friends. So the answer is actually: some might be allowed to bring in friends.

[neat quiver]

Have they actually set a date when the keys are going out or is it still just "soon"

[soft mesa]

I figure I won't get in the pre-alpha, but I'll be happy to get into either Alpha or Beta later on.

[gentle birch]

Still Soon™️

[mystic gale]

Still just soon, but based on their language I would expect weeks rather than days.

[bright forge]

very soon as one of devs said once

[regal swallow]

I suspect after 4 mondays

[mystic gale]

And they’ll announce a date in advance of that date, but even that might slip.

[neat quiver]

Ahh thanks @gentle birch and @bright forge its fun just talking about it still but i was curious of any specifics

[gleaming swift]

talking to friends and letting other communities know about this game also helps the team. Every little contribute counts for instance welcome new players that come to discord or help them out if they have answers

[void imp]

i love

[dim oxide]

Has anyone gotten in the beta yet?

[patent dust]

a lot of articles have said this summer, which starts the 20th so

some time after that

[mystic gale]

No, they’ll announce when pre-alpha keys are going to go out.

[gentle birch]

Not yet.

[civic axle]

was i supposed to get an email after signing up

[patent dust]

no

[civic axle]

ok

[patent dust]

sorry for bein so short, i was mid drink lmao

daphne?? you good? lol

[gleaming swift]

No but you will get a email once the Pre-Alpha keys wil be rolled out.

[dim oxide]

Thanks! x

[north hemlock]

will palia be pay to play?

[gentle birch]

No answer to that yet.

[north hemlock]

if it costs money

i will be sad

[patent dust]

only those chosen will get an email. the rest of us will know because of an announcement

[civic axle]

i just hope theres no like heavy microtransactions :l idc if it costs money cuz ya know things cost money

[analog grove]

same..

[clear prism]

What nowadays doesn't cost money?

[patent dust]

love

[north hemlock]

Im jut hoping for cosmetic purchases

[analog grove]

if its got like a million micro i'm out

[north hemlock]

like phantasy star online 2 and its most recent update New genesis

[civic axle]

dont be surprised if it costs money the team is def not one that can pump out a free game with only small cosmetic transactions

[mystic gale]

If you haven’t read them, the #❔│game-faqs and #❓│old-team-answers-alpha channels have answers to a lot of common questions like these.

[civic axle]

cap

[civic axle]

i have no respect for the faq after it confirmed the official pronunciation is "paylia" and not "pal-ia"

[night matrix]

Is the game any good if you never played PSO before?

[north hemlock]

hell yeah

[mystic gale]

But… you’ll have to take that up with the team!

[north hemlock]

@night matrix every one starts on equal grounds even if you never played pso2

[wispy wyvern]

I heard they will be randomly chosen by "The Claw" and taken to a better place to test the game

[neat quiver]

@civic axle people pronouce it pal-ia?

[patent dust]

https://tenor.com/8IHy.gif

waIT

[civic axle]

it sounds better :)

[patent dust]

WHY IS THERE A WHITE CLAW

[faint dawn]

Nice drink ad.

[mystic gale]

Pay-lia is the right one confirmed by a tweet Nel posted.

[patent dust]

lmfao

[neat quiver]

I been saying it pay-lia

[gleaming swift]

lol energy AD xD

[patent dust]

this is why you dont trust tenor search

[wispy wyvern]

Paylia 2 win

[mystic gale]

In fairness I didn’t even notice until you pointed it out XD I just went “yup that’s the scene”

I may not have fully awoken yet.

[gritty veldt]

hello just woke up and the first thing i’m greeted with is palia is pronounced “pay-lia”???

[patent dust]

@undone haven its an emote made by someone in the art channel i believe, so one of them may have it or its posted in there somewhere

[undone haven]

ah ok

[gritty veldt]

oh no ive been saying it pal-ia

and i will probably keep saying it like that out of habit lmao

[civic axle]

u are officially wrong but morally correct

[ember panther]

Is Palia supposed to evoke "paleo"?

[mystic gale]

And yet the spelling is “paella”

[neat quiver]

I like Pay-Lia tho it sounds neat

[civic axle]

no

[ember panther]

Makes me think of a cash shop game 😭

[patent dust]

yeah its technically pay-lia but it doesnt truely matter how its said

[civic axle]

u dont like it they just tricked u

[gritty veldt]

honestly screw the chapaa/chuu discourse, it’s paylia/palia discourse now

[wispy wyvern]

Just you wait, we'll have a month long war over this now..

[patent dust]

oh no...

[civic axle]

cuz "pal" is like friends and "pay" is money and money bad

[neat quiver]

What even was chapaa chuu thing idk if i missed it but it means the same little raccoon fox dog things right?

[ember panther]

Welcome to "Pay-lia, please enter your credit card number to advance straight to level 20!"

[mystic gale]

I like that we’re all hungry for more game lore, but then half of us just want to tear that lore down and replace it with our own. Lol

[civic axle]

no

[wispy wyvern]

how about Pale-ee-aah.

[patent dust]

i like pal-ee-uh

[civic axle]

same

[gritty veldt]

is the names of things even considered lore? just seems like semantics to me

[civic axle]

pal-ee-uh is the best i will tell the devs they are wrong

[patent dust]

pronounced basically the same but with a short A instead of long

[mystic gale]

Even better: they sell us a hardware attachment for logging, but it doubles as a card swiper. Literally every swing of your axe is a card swipe

[analog grove]

imagine if the devs are like "screw it,let them fight over the non existant lore" lol

for the game

[void imp]

humans just came back, maybe they pronounce palia with an accent 😆

[patent dust]

then ofc people are gunna compare it to the word pal, and thats super cheesy lol

[marble hedge]

Might be Pa-Lee-ah

[bright forge]

They said that they choose that name because it was available

[faint dawn]

Pay-lia...
Mind: Paleozoic
-Googles-
relating to or denoting the era between the Precambrian eon and the Mesozoic era.
"at the end of the Paleozoic era the greatest extinction event of all time took place"

Hmm, No wonder humans went extinct....

[gleaming swift]

lol like "Heey want to be my pal-friend"

[patent dust]

are they truely extinct if theyre coming back?

[faint dawn]

I guess not..

[ember panther]

"Have you tried the Palia diet?"

[faint dawn]

but now i have a sudden urge for a few dinosaurs in Palia.. xD

[marble hedge]

Maybe we'll all be paliadins.

[faint dawn]

just a few maybe friendly hybrids...

[void imp]

palia also means "of old" in ancient Greek

[patent dust]

well the chapaa is somewhat sabertooth like 👀 not dinosaur but still very early

[analog grove]

get some chickens,they'd count? :>

[faint dawn]

YES

my tiny feathery dinos

[analog grove]

BIG RIDEABLE CHICKENS

[cinder comet]

Ohhh I do hope there are farm animals.

[full dagger]

So when are emails coming or has the first round gone out already

[night matrix]

[cinder comet]

In a few weeks.

[marble hedge]

Chocobos

[void imp]

[full dagger]

[mystic gale]

Yeah, I would like to have ranch animals. Specifically capybaras

[bright forge]

I believe they said there was no deeper meaning behind the name at the moment

[gentle birch]

Soon™️

[analog grove]

what if there's minigames..?

[cinder comet]

Only bad thing about weekends = no updates 😂

[faint dawn]

CONTINUES TO THEORY CRAFT INSPITE OF

[void imp]

they hinted at card games 👀

[analog grove]

oo!

[mystic gale]

Right, it’s just a name they chose because no one else is using it and it wasn’t their first choice. But they can construct lore around it!

[cinder comet]

I laughed when someone said it'll be another jewel puzzle game.

[full dagger]

^ juliet i heard that one too lol

[patent dust]

sometime after the 20th, and likely they will send invites out a bit before actual testing so people can be instructed on installation, signing in, and briefed on what is expected of them

[wispy wyvern]

Yeah the first choice was "MegaDeathWorld14". Pity that was taken.

[faint dawn]

Jewel puzzle game? Psh nah!
We all know it's a secret Dodgecoin miner... o3o

[cinder comet]

And lots of NDAs. Lol.

[mystic gale]

Yeah they’ve said they will announce a date and then “try their best to stick to it”, so we’ll get an announcement I think well before the date.

[patent dust]

i think thats gunna be like a EULA, "by accepting this alpha-key, you are agreeing to our NDA" kinda thing

[gritty veldt]

card games huh,,,, i am a big fan of card games but depending on the game i feel like it would be kind of easy to not cheat per say,,, but ya know,,,,,, keep track of things 👀

[ember panther]

The jewel puzzle games in WoW BFA were the best times I had in that zone

[cinder comet]

I am ready to fish for 1500 hours 🐟

[analog grove]

i am ready to be a fuctional member for society! (for once lol)

[patent dust]

also if you are accepted in, please dont be that guy and leak stuff. it ruins things for others and can strongly affect the devs themselves with their investors. this isnt some massive company, this is a smaller studio with only around 50 passionate people.

[gritty veldt]

if i see anyone leaking stuff i’m snitching lol

[bright forge]

You are not a snitch you are a detective!

[cinder comet]

unfortunately there will always be that guy, but that guy can be smacked with legal repercussions

[mystic gale]

Not to mention that you’re in breach of contract and if caught will be subject to litigation and banishment from the game. And even if not caught… just don’t.

[blazing osprey]

im ready to see what they got so far the sound of the game and what they want to do is great and i think will go far

[neon fractal]

I've had previous NDAs that did actually get signed and mailed back to the devs.

[ember panther]

I was searching for Palia on reddit and see that there is at least one post on /r/WildStar, I am amazed that sub still has over 25K members

[patent dust]

im not sure how theyre going to do their NDA, i just hope people actually follow it

[mystic gale]

Most NDAs are pretty ironclad, it’s why you don’t see them broken often

[patent dust]

r/palia exists as private and in progress, so im assuming thats the devs working on things. if it were fan-made, itd be open right now :P im assuming also they wont have it open until full release, otherwise itd just get spammed with monetization questions lol

[gritty veldt]

especially considering the rapidly increasing size of the community and how hungry people are for info,,,, any leak is gonna spread like a wildfire. so do your part and don’t spread them, do report them, etc etc this has been a psa from smokey bear

[mystic gale]

Or at least until an open beta when there’s stuff to talk about.

[ember panther]

Yeah there is r/PaliaMMO which I guess is fan run?

[patent dust]

"This subreddit was created by fans for fans."

yup lol

[ocean smelt]

My biggest fear is they'll have a cash shop that will have better items than ones you can craft

I'll pray that doesn't happen 🥺

[mystic gale]

Anything’s possible. They have to make money on it somehow.

Some people prefer an optional cash shop to a monthly sub.

[wispy wyvern]

You're probably not going to see p2w bullshit though.

[ocean smelt]

I assume they'll take a page out of Warframe's book and monetize cosmetics and inventory space. Which is... Fine to me, tbh.

[clear prism]

fancy sofa

and i assume crusader helmet

[analog grove]

wait as in make cosmetics dlc?

like clothing?

[wispy wyvern]

Considering that so much of the game revolves around aesthetics and so on that could be prettybad. But that's getting in to that conversation again and I'm already going grey XD

[ocean smelt]

Oh, right. Don't want to start an argument. 😂

[gritty veldt]

i fully intend on being a raggedy gremlin on the edge of society so p2cosmetics makes no difference to me lol

[mystic gale]

As someone who has spent way too much on the FFXIV Mog Station, I don't mind paid cosmetics too much. It's paid items that confer skill advantages that I hope they avoid.

[analog grove]

ree i just wanna live out my fashion fantasy in game ; - ;

also that muscly cow thing you can also get in humans oDo

*genetic change

[mystic gale]

It does seem like the animals we've seen so far are almost entirely original. So even though I stan capybaras hard, I'm sure what we'll get will all be stuff they made up themselves.

[faint dawn]

baby

[mystic gale]

But something capybara-like would not go amiss

As long as there's a sheep analog I can shear for CLOTHES I'm happy

It could be less violent than that, like a boat launch.

They are in fact what led to the rise in catnip sales in the 14th and 15th centuries. As baronies imported the valuable herb to use as a defence. Littering it in choke points and in boudoirs.

[clear prism]

On another note: Youtube recommendations decided to gimme some theories about Atlantis investigations and Eye of Sahara

Ubisoft just finished on a high note with a trailer for an avatar game

[loud axle]

Well, Neleimour will be hyped for those then lol

[wispy wyvern]

Hey Bun

[novel plank]

Like airbender or blue ppl avatar

[ocean smelt]

Blue people haha

[faint dawn]

Blu people

[novel plank]

YESSS

[loud axle]

...Oh I'm much less excited now.

[faint dawn]

the Navi

[void imp]

was about to ask almost the same question

[loud axle]

🤷‍♂️

[celest maple]

Ubi conference sucked😢

[novel plank]

witchy senses 😏

[summer obsidian]

Yeah, wasn't too impressed by Ubi's show

[loud axle]

Here's hoping we can expect to see S6 at E3 next year 😄

[mystic gale]

Nothing I'm much interested in until the Square-Enix conference tomorrow. And there's no Sony conference and Nintendo isn't until Tuesday. :(

[celest maple]

There is nothing new

Any news regarding their games?

It's all updates

[summer obsidian]

For real! I'd love to see S6 at E3!!

[patent dust]

off to play pixelmon, yall be good to each other <3

[mystic gale]

Take care Pastel

[faint dawn]

Mario and rabids... i think like 2-3 zombie games... Just dance... Uhh.. Some 60$ sports game... and AVATAR

[celest maple]

Bi bi Pastel

[celest maple]

Mario sucks

[mystic gale]

I'm busy trying to farm the last two stupid notes I need for my Balthier bike 😠

[celest maple]

Mario was fun at first but its all the same now

[mystic gale]

I still love Mario games.

[faint dawn]

Excuse me.. "EXCLUSIVE Switch" Mario game..

[mystic gale]

And Mario + Rabbids was a pretty original game

[wispy wyvern]

#🎮│other-games folks 😉

[faint dawn]

Im done.. but even before the e3 talk none of this was really palia oriented..

[mystic gale]

I think it's honestly ok to veer off a little here and there as long as it's kind of Palia-adjacent. Otherwise this channel will die other than new people coming in and asking the same old questions XD

[loud axle]

It's tough to keep on topic during the weekends when we don't have any news unfortunately 😦

[loud axle]

For sure. Notice my EXPERT skills at attempting to tie conversations back to Palia in some way. 🏆

[faint dawn]

We're all talking about banana buns and simping for Steve..

[mystic gale]

Noticed and appreciated

[novel plank]

mmm robot fisher bois to sell fish to 😌

[viscid aurora]

we are masters of simping

[ocean smelt]

I want to raise my pet yakmoo. That is all.

[loud axle]

But will Einar buy fish from you when he can just get them himself? 🤔

[magic mist]

saying that name 3rd time makes him appear with 👀

[mystic gale]

Also it's not quite as critical to stay strictly Palia-focused when the channel's not going at like 100 messages a minute like earlier in the week

[novel plank]

Maybe ….

[faint dawn]

I don't think he's bettlejuice xD

[celest maple]

It is all fine :)

[viscid aurora]

there is slowly becoming less and less to talk about

[novel plank]

If we had a better amount of info or photos or videos of the game this channel would be filled with palia stuff strictly

[gentle birch]

@regal swallow usually pulls us back on topic

[mystic gale]

Yup yup

[novel plank]

Like it’s all anyone would wanna talk about

[loud axle]

Gift them to him. Maybe he'll become self-aware and decide to be romanceable.

[wispy wyvern]

I've been pouring over the environmental art all afternoon. Its just so damn good

[novel plank]

But… due to how we don’t have info on when pre-alpha is, and only one video of the game along with a few photos on the website… that’s really all we got to help visualize

[loud axle]

All of the environmental art now cycles as my laptop background 👀

[celest maple]

Because I would need it to be close to it atleast. To look decent

[gentle birch]

The website could use a nice wallpaper section

[mystic gale]

Yeah, as more info comes in we'll have more to talk about, and meanwhile we can just have general chat in here as long as we don't go too far off the rails and don't drown out Palia talk

[novel plank]

Granted it is understandable due to how it’s such a new game, but the amount of excitement is almost overwhelming and terribly hard to contain and the curiosity on when pre-alpha is except we are only told “soon” LOL

[loud axle]

Not a clue

[ocean smelt]

thoon

[novel plank]

I would definitely set my wallpaper as a photo of my future avatar in game in front of my house with friends or by myself with any pets 🥺

[loud axle]

This is a wonderful idea, not sure if it should be suggested in server suggestions or directly to Nel on Monday though...

[celest maple]

Indeed!

[void imp]

i think panda was the one who said that in an article they specified summer 👀 and we know it'll be at least a month or maybe more like three weeks by now

[novel plank]

The wait is so difficult due to how excited I am to play this game, or if I get into pre-alpha to try and test how much I can break to tell devs what they gotta fix and how it breaks LMAO

[celest maple]

Maybe someone can make a funny Windows theme with sounds. But maybe over the top.

[loud axle]

My 100% made up speculation that has no basis in reality would say about 3-4 weeks after the initial announcement was made. So... It's been a week and a half at this point, so probably around the end of the month would be correct.

[mystic gale]

It is tough! But I'm trying to help it by assuming I won't get in and telling myself I'll have to wait even longer than that XD

[loud axle]

Puts on tinfoil hat

[ocean smelt]

Seconded. I found it weird that the next monthly q&a will be on july 8 when the channel gets locked on the 24th

[celest maple]

Throw/give us a bone after some time, and we can wait a little longer xD

[novel plank]

I feel like my heart will break lowkey

[loud axle]

Again no one lurking should take anything I say for fact, I have zero idea what I'm talking about~

[mystic gale]

In fact if my luck holds, all the people I made friends with here will get in and I'll be the only one who didn't XD And not only will I not be able to play but will also lose my friendly chats while everyone else is in the hidden channels haha

[mystic gale]

Yup, try as I might to soften the blow, it'll be an awful blow

[loud axle]

Well at roughly 100k signups for pre-alpha and 1,400 people being taken... We all have a 1.4% chance 😄

[mystic gale]

That is very true

[magic mist]

the US government would like you to stop that, messes with your microchip upgrade from the 5g towers

[novel plank]

Naaah they said a couple hundred thousand it’s less than 1.4%

[loud axle]

But hey y'know what those are some gocha game odds and I've beaten them before sooooo

[mystic gale]

Yeah at a couple hundred thousand we're looking at most likely less than half a percent. Fun to think about! 🤣🔫

[novel plank]

😔

[void imp]

guys guys there'll be alphas and betas

[mystic gale]

Yeah but those are longer away!

[lethal torrent]

Plus I highly doubt anyone here is NOT broke

[novel plank]

Yes but then you gotta put in mind the amount of time in between pre-alpha and alpha… low long each will last… then how long between alpha and beta and then how long beta will last then how long between beta and actual release im assuming ?

[lethal torrent]

I also highly doubt it'll be f2p

[clear prism]

Alpha Chapaas and beta Chuus

[marble hedge]

I'm broke.

[loud axle]

Gotta try to stay optimistic, there will be more tests, and they may need to pull more people for the pre-alpha if they don't hear back from people or those they pick that don't have interest.

[mystic gale]

The alpha and betas aren't gonna be paid though, no matter what pay scheme they come up with

[mint venture]

Alphas are usually a lot of work, its not really about playing, in the ones I’ve done its been ok today were trying to do this one thing, over and over with slight variations

[marble hedge]

It's like this with every game. I've gotten into some alphas. I've not gotten into others. As long as it benefits the game, it is what it is.

[lethal torrent]

Says who?

[void imp]

we'll get more info about characters and even if we don't get to play in the tests: more tests mean more game mechanic confirmations, we won't be left empty handed

[lethal torrent]

Donator alphas and betas aren't uncommon

[marble hedge]

I've done the donator alpha route. That was Path of Exile.

[loud axle]

"Cash in for alpha? In our case our alpha is 100% not a soft-launch under a weasely title so we can cash in while wanting a pass on all the bugs. We're all old and crusty and old-school (or at least I am), and as far as I'm concerned, alpha is alpha is alpha!"

[mystic gale]

They're not taking player donations for Palia.

[languid sun]

gasp certainly not another discussion about monetization based on pure speculation!!??

[mystic gale]

And they've said they're not charging for the alpha.

[wispy wyvern]

Hey Steve

[loud axle]

Steve you're late you were brought up like 15 minutes ago

[lethal torrent]

I was not aware of that fact

[celest maple]

Exactly, I think they have some kind of strategy to communicate to their community. Keep the interest up.

[languid sun]

👀

[loud axle]

There it is

[mystic gale]

That's what we're here for!

[marble hedge]

I mean... they're making the game to make money. I'm not against paying to play it.

[mystic gale]

Hiya Steve

[languid sun]

Hello!

[celest maple]

Everyone said how appreciated you are. :)

[languid sun]

I actually saw that

[mystic gale]

Don't worry, no monetization rabbit holes are being fallen into, just maybe having toes dipped into?

[languid sun]

ngl tho @glad egret does all the work and I just pop in, look cool, then slack off

[lethal torrent]

😎

[loud axle]

And with that hair you CERTAINLY look cool.

[mystic gale]

Teamwork makes the dream work

[forest imp]

Just joined, is the alpha already going on?

[lethal torrent]

It is not

[loud axle]

Nope, we don't have a start date yet.

[forest imp]

alright, thanks

[faint dawn]

Looks at student debt

[celest maple]

So you are lucky, to follow us in this awesome journey xD

[marble hedge]

To the journey...

[celest maple]

Back to the future

[marble hedge]

No no... it was a Voyager quote.

[celest maple]

Yep, just started to think about other stuff =)

[vocal bluff]

Hello All!

[clear prism]

https://tenor.com/view/go-on-an-adventure-with-me-i-like-the-sound-of-that-star-wars-gif-15156411

[mystic gale]

I'm looking forward to adventuring with you all!

[marble hedge]

I'm looking forward to the snacks.

[mystic gale]

And it all comes back to food XD

[loud axle]

I'm looking forward to creating a hedge maze.

[lethal torrent]

I'm looking forward to trying to commit suicide in-game in many creative ways when it is supposed to be impossible!

[mystic gale]

I'm looking forward to finding holes in their beautiful geometry and slipping through into the gaping, textureless void!

[celest maple]

Is it possible to have a tail as a character? And if so, how long?

[marble hedge]

This isn't Ark...

[loud axle]

I'm going to create a Palia drinking game...

[clear prism]

same engine

[mystic gale]

I don't think Palia humans have tails

[marble hedge]

Oh. Uh.....

[lethal torrent]

Do ya'll know what the most revolutionary game ever will be?

[clear prism]

If we don't find a hole we diggy dig one.

[lethal torrent]

One that can simulate taste.

[celest maple]

And smell

[celest maple]

Mesh holes 🥸

[mystic gale]

What would the interface for a taste simulator look like? Would you wear it on your tongue?

How would they simulate the experience of chewing and texture?

[celest maple]

Had a mesh base on extinction , got dev wiped but was good times

[analog grove]

i would imagine it'd be a brain/head type thing?

[marble hedge]

Nobody can be told what The Matrix is...

[lethal torrent]

I never said I was smart enough to know how it would actually WORK.

[mystic gale]

If they have that kind of interface they could simulate anything, not just taste. Touch, smell, sight...

[junior bison]

you can simulate taste with artificial brain impulses

[analog grove]

^

[clear prism]

More realistically - directly connected to your brain so that your brain would do the rest

[mystic gale]

Yeah that's what I mean. If they figure that out they could simulate every sense.

[analog grove]

probably some eeg type thing

[marble hedge]

Oh great... i've seen Existenz....

[celest maple]

Is it cables connected or is it new tech wireless? =)

[lethal torrent]

Blegh, just imagine the direction games will go when they can simulate touch realistically

[clear prism]

elon musk brain chip?

[viscid aurora]

knoe what I would be down for it

[celest maple]

Haha, no thanks to that one.

[clear prism]

still testing and many people are against that stuff

[junior bison]

you don't need wires to create artificial brain impulses, have you seen those devices they often use in science papers? they kinda look like the caps they use for water polo

[celest maple]

Yep, was joking a bit =) I read a lot.

[junior bison]

fairs

[clear prism]

but overall the possibilities are interesting - imagine playing something like FPS without using your hands. How might it affect the cybersport.

At last I start with that.

[junior bison]

Honestly i think we are only currently scratching the surface of future e-sport styles

[analog grove]

..honest question,what is fps..

[brisk dome]

frames per second

[celest maple]

With good purpose yes, else no no

[junior bison]

First Person Shooters

[analog grove]

ooh

[brisk dome]

many things!

[analog grove]

i'm pretty sure that probably already exists on adapted systems or at least for some games?

[clear prism]

FPS - first person shooter (games) or frames per second (video stuff).

[languid sun]

a lot of people would probably prefer usage of hands since a huge part of what makes a pro FPS player is mechanical skill

[clear prism]

dunno how is it possible to affect the brain without directly plugging some chip

[umbral kernel]

What topic did I wander in on?

[clear prism]

Yes but it's the same as gamepad with mouse. If the brain control would be even more precise there would be no need for mouse and board

[sand barn]

Haven't there been fps players that won tournaments that haven't had hands :o

[clear prism]

at the highest tiers i mean

[analog grove]

yeah!

[celest maple]

Maybe what you eat, electronic pulses. But that is another topic.

[analog grove]

thats what i meant earlier,you have adapted equipment for video games..
