[faint dawn]

[warm plover]

😄

[golden thistle]

Noooo problemo!

[uncut bear]

Thanks onyx!

[arctic onyx]

[warm plover]

[uncut bear]

[arctic onyx]

🛌

[vagrant coral]

Doubt we'll get any gameplay footage until at least alpha.

[faint dawn]

I'll copy the message link so if people ask about the stream I can give them your message to the link.

[carmine relic]

Until public-ish alpha

[graceful orchid]

^

[arctic onyx]

so in about a year or two

sheesh aight

[carmine relic]

'Cause I said it before n' I'll say it again, EN-DEE-AYE!

[shut hinge]

I can't see it being two years

[arctic onyx]

small dev team

[carmine relic]

I'll wait and let you guys know how long it took

[graceful orchid]

same, im not going anywhere

i am here to stay!

[warm plover]

Same

[arctic onyx]

ill see you guys when they add the super soaker pvp dlc

[vagrant coral]

I'm betting they'll have something for next E3, though they might decide to do something sooner.

[carmine relic]

I'm also staying.

[uncut bear]

You’re going down!

[summer obsidian]

I just hope they give us enough warning if they're going to have a booth set up at a convention...cause I would buy a ticket just to visit the booth, bwahaha

[faint dawn]

I apearantly made myself a daily commitment to this discord channel...

[uncut bear]

Same

[summer obsidian]

Yesss! She can't leave us now! 😄

[uncut bear]

Yes Ana you did. It’s legally binding by fate itself

[graceful orchid]

same! i may not be in here all day but i do at least try to make an appearance daily

[buoyant heath]

I'm not saying that I went to PAX East at the beginning of a pandemic to see Kerbal Space Program 2, but

[uncut bear]

Also same

[patent adder]

My boy

[fringe minnow]

Hehehe

[summer obsidian]

haha

[arctic onyx]

I've never been to convention

and i don't plan to

[uncut bear]

Father/mother?

[summer obsidian]

me either, but I will go for Palia...

[graceful orchid]

ive gone to blizzcon for the last several years up until covid -.-

[sterile tide]

so did we get any news on the livestream

[arctic onyx]

the only time I'd consider going to an event for a game, would probably be for esports

[uncut bear]

Yes we did! I recommend you watch it!

[buoyant heath]

We got the news that Sasha is a damn fine artist

[sterile tide]

it's too long

[wide wagon]

Filling out the second survey 💕

[sterile tide]

any release date? or anything about the alpha

[uncut bear]

Pre alpha next week!

[sterile tide]

so the alpha starts next week?

https://tenor.com/view/pianistchenle-sad-dog-crying-gif-22087618

[arctic onyx]

pre alpha

[summer obsidian]

they are going to be reaching out to the pre-alpha participants...no guarantee that the actual pre-alpha will start immediately though

[radiant path]

Quick talk outside Palia for a second: How do I jump to oldest message in chat? I'm tired of working out my middle finger...

[arctic onyx]

you don't

[lone vector]

they're in the shadow realm now

[golden thistle]

I guess, theoretically, if you know the first person who talked in this chat, you could find it that way...

[summer obsidian]

you can do the search bar and search before: and the first day of the discord was 06/03/2021

[golden thistle]

or that

[radiant path]

https://tenor.com/view/theoffice-stanley-blank-stare-waiting-gif-7195670

[summer obsidian]

still a lot of scrolling, but less than from right at this moment

[radiant path]

Why this isn't implemented is beyond me...

[arctic onyx]

are you about to read 2 weeks worth of texts tho?

[vagrant coral]

Are you planning a discord ironman run?

[sinful delta]

you can sort by in:palia-chat and set to old

[uncut bear]

That’s hundreds of thousands of messaged

[novel plank]

i wish that dyno bot was in here so i could do ?whois and see how long i've been in this discord lol

[golden thistle]

That would be like reading war and peace

[radiant path]

lel gonna speed run through it. Just to get an impression what people talked about.

[lone vector]

Has anyone ever registered for pre alphas or something like that for any other game before?

[graceful orchid]

yeah!

[vagrant coral]

yep

[arctic onyx]

did flighting for many games

[radiant path]

People talk most of the time air, so It wouldnt make sense why

[arctic onyx]

one of them was sea of thieves

[lone vector]

oh that's cool. How was the experience?

[sinful delta]

@radiant path if you still wanna see the oldest messages check my message above

[arctic onyx]

the game functioned? but was very barebones lmao

[radiant path]

Thx

[crisp heron]

goooosh the stream was so hyyype

[sinful delta]

[sick coral]

Was anything important said in the recent twitch live stream??

[summer obsidian]

depends on what you classify as important. They talked about some of the origins behind the game and the goals of Singularity 6 and discussed the new character. To me, great information to sit through and hear. But no important dates or game features.

[sick coral]

Oh cool thats interesting thanks! 🙂

[crisp heron]

It was so so so cozy to watch though, and get behind the team!

[sick coral]

Yeah im definitely going to watch it I just wasnt sure what they talked about!

[uncut bear]

It was nice to get to know the team a little better made then seem more human (except Nel who I’m convinced is a Chapaa 😛 jk)

[summer obsidian]

three chapaas in a trench-coat

[warm plover]

To sum up the information we got:

[low goblet]

Playing alphas is both fun and frustrating

[warm plover]

• The old, placeholder name for the elf-like race was Valerian

• There are Skill Masters that mentor you in particular skills. Einar is the fishing skill master

• Nel can write backwards

[uncut bear]

This

[warm plover]

• Reveal of Eshe and some design concepts (the finished art of her is in #🌠│official-art)

[lyric ether]

honestly I only find testing frustrating with online only games. Constant disconnects can make it really hard to get much testing done. Usually have to take in a deep breath and remind myself even server crashes is useful data.

[low goblet]

Yeah, and that's a big thing to test in MMOs

[warm plover]

Nel honestly has the energy of a golden retriever

idk where she keeps it all

[low goblet]

Nothing worse than a release where the servers crash

[lyric ether]

honestly, that is every release for the most part.

[summer obsidian]

as an owner of a 6 month golden retriever...i concur with this

[lyric ether]

I don't think I've ever played an online game without massive server issues and disconnects on release day. That is just part of the experience, some have mitigated but it's always there.

[warm plover]

i wanted to sing today but my headache is still here so ill have to wait...

[fleet leaf]

Only thing worse is getting DCed on an online game with a 1hr+ queue and no grace period.... looking at you ArcheAge Unchained launch...

[clear wraith]

Hello lovelies! What have I missed today?

[faint dawn]

I know ffxiv an guildwars2 will both be unplayable during their expansion launches...

[lyric ether]

no grace period queue's are terrible. Or they do what path of exile did....and gave streamers priority queue . That made so many people mad.

[faint dawn]

Even a game that's been out for so long... when the influx of players is so great it'll break it..

Like a rope bridge

[low goblet]

why would u say that name, getting flashbacks 😭

[patent adder]

Those were the dark times 🙏

[lyric ether]

If i'm to be honest, if they gave me archeage ripped out all the store garbage, and took away the forced pvp stuff. I would be in love.

[low goblet]

i love the pvp and sandbox aspect of AA

im also used to EVE Online where the server just has 30k people on it and does fine

[lyric ether]

I just hate forced pvp, when I pvp i want it to be because I'm in the mood for it

[regal swallow]

Pie vs Pie contest?

[warm plover]

pvp makes me nervous

[clear wraith]

Or Pillow vs Pillow. The only acceptable forms of PvP.

[graceful orchid]

I hope its not forced pvp. i like pve and just crafting and exploring and community

[lyric ether]

don't think this game has any sort of traditional pvp so you don't need to worry there

[summer obsidian]

I'm going out of town tomorrow through Sunday night...so if you don't see me much over the next few days...don't worry. I'm just traveling and can't chat a whole ton 😛

[warm plover]

if there is pvp it would only probably be in the form of games and friendly competitions i think

and i think even that would be opt in

[crisp heron]

Check out the FAQ regarding PvP - it most probably won't be you fighting other players! Think more of party games? They hinted at races etc.

[faint dawn]

sockem boppers

[kind venture]

I either read or heard on the stream today that there would not be traditional PVP in Palia but perhaps friendly competition like games.

[clear wraith]

What, here? Yeah, the devs have made it very clear they want a game that feels safe, and there'll be no PvP more antagonistic than a game of cards with friends.

[warm plover]

nom

[loud axle]

And NO GEESE.

[void imp]

see you next week!! have fun, we'll give you the rundown when youre back

[warm plover]

NO CAPES

[crisp heron]

We can emulate Hell's Kitchen with professions >:D

[clear wraith]

Did they actually say NO GEESE? 💔

[patent dust]

theres a little cape

[summer obsidian]

I may be able to check on my phone at night before bed, but will def. be way more sporadic

[faint dawn]

Darling..

[lyric ether]

Pajama vs Pajama, who has the best design.

[loud axle]

No, but if the world is devoid of physical threats there can't be geese.

[winter ivy]

No pvp?? Sweet

Oh wait I hope there’s pve tho. I love pve

[uncut bear]

Have a fun time @summer obsidian !

[warm plover]

Have fun Overflowwww

Stay safe

[faint dawn]

that's a weird explaination...

[lyric ether]

it will be interesting to see how they make a game fun without physical threats. even animal crossing has a bit of a physical threat. (bees) even though the threat is only to make you ugly.

[winter ivy]

Well it’s not an explanation?

[lyric ether]

Danger brings Challenge which brings fun

[crisp heron]

The only threat I fear is not having enough room to build muh house x.x

[winter ivy]

Do you mean exclamation?

[clear wraith]

We shall see! I enjoy peaceful sandbox games, and getting KOed is my least favorite part of, like, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.

[warm plover]

you can have challenge without being in danger

[clear wraith]

I do not think death or losing my stuff brings enjoyment to my game experience.

[warm plover]

i imagine thats what theyll try to do

[faint dawn]

You see theres no HP bar and no charactar death... at least currently...
PvE might just be getting resources for things.. fishing..
with no HP Hunting might be 1 shot kill or the animal gets away...

[winter ivy]

Oh I hate losing my stuff. But I enjoy the challenge of pve combat, especially if you get to have your friends with you

[void imp]

https://tenor.com/view/bye-wink-cute-wave-goodbye-gif-17689943

[lyric ether]

can you really bring challenge without danger? What challenge is there without a fail condition looming over your head. Not saying it's impossible but It is something i'm interested in seeing.

[winter ivy]

Wait has alpha testing already begun?

[warm plover]

no it hasnt

[quick dove]

Don't believe so

[warm plover]

they said it would be in about a week, about.. a day or two ago

[fleet leaf]

I just hope this is the video game equivalent of the opening of the Lord of the Rings movie introducing the Shire. Sure there were the Sackville-Baggins and stuff going on outside, but man if that place wasn't idyllic.

[clear wraith]

Sounds like prealpha keys are being dispensed in about a week

[winter ivy]

Oh Funsies. I’ll have to check my email when I get back from rafting then

[clear wraith]

And there are WAY more people in this Discord than keys they plan to dispense in the first wave.

There'll be other phases of testing, though!

[faint dawn]

#❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message

bit of a weird one..

[winter ivy]

Oh I’m sure lol. And if I don’t get it, oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ll wait for the next phase lol

[clear wraith]

Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna be there regardless. Only question is how soon they'll let me in.

[winter ivy]

That is a weird message from a dev

I gotta double check the desc of the game hang on

[carmine relic]

Should we be partying or get some bunkers ready for when everything goes nuts?

[warm plover]

both?

[golden shadow]

bunkers

[faint dawn]

@winter ivy #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message

[carmine relic]

Bunker parties it is

[warm plover]

💃

[clear wraith]

The people let in are under NDAs, so my suggestion is a party, in which the lucky guests get to be excite without pressure to deliver spoilers.

I'll bring lemon bars!

[carmine relic]

I'll bring the chocolate pretzels!

[faint dawn]

I'll bring toothpaste and orangejuice.

[winter ivy]

I’ll bring bread and fancy dip

[vernal knot]

im a decent baker!

[winter ivy]

I’ll end up eating it all myself tho

[lyric ether]

i'll bring duct tape to help make sure they don't spill the beans.

[warm plover]

I... uh... I don't have snacks lying around. I can do some karaoke for you guys as entertainment?

[loud axle]

lol I think it'll be fine. 🙂 As I see it, there's two options... Either they want people that are active in Discord, in which a lot of people here are going to get it so we'll all keep chatting while playing the game, or it'll be truly random and only a couple regulars will get it so the rest of us will just keep chatting!

[clear wraith]

Bringin' the helpful links! ❤️

[carmine relic]

Heck yeah

[winter ivy]

I will say after reading the message where they say devoid of “physical, emotional, and social threats” I’m a bit uneasy. What is the drive in playing then? I’m a little bit confused

[clear wraith]

To build stuff, explore, collect, and make friends?

[warm plover]

Either a bunch of regulars get picked (so we do the same thing as normal but in secret) or they don't (and the chat stays exactly the same)

[carmine relic]

Whatever the situation, it feels like something is gonna take a massive shift.

[lyric ether]

i suspect the discord request was more on the lines so they can double check to make sure you are not a toxic individual. So they can foster a comfortable alpha community.

[clear wraith]

Uncover the story and make a nice home for yourself.

[warm plover]

I like going brrr and making number go up

[faint dawn]

The drive is a cosy community, who will stive to help eachother thrive... It'll be a co-op game cimilar to Stardew, animal crossing, and harvest moon...

But as an MMO

[winter ivy]

I’ll still give it a go lol. I want to try it out with my cousin

[warm plover]

uh oh am i toxic

[strong stirrup]

Yeah there's plenty of drive to animal crossing... Gotta pay back Nook

[carmine relic]

Nah

[winter ivy]

I don’t play mmos really at all, tbh. I play mostly single player games

[carmine relic]

You're doin' good lad!

[sharp obsidian]

❌

[warm plover]

:o

[fossil stirrup]

Huh

[lyric ether]

You got veto'd RIn! 😦

[warm plover]

thats vaguely menacing or comforting depending how you interpret it

[clear wraith]

It is fine to also like to make number go up! It's okay to like lots of different things!

[finite sparrow]

Haha Rin. 0 toxic. ❤️

[sharp obsidian]

2 more X's and you're disqualified from American Idol ;D

[warm plover]

:D

[faint dawn]

When Nonstop says to stop. xD

[winter ivy]

❌

[warm plover]

Is that an Idleon pic?

[cinder comet]

Wait I thought that was AGT?

[finite sparrow]

Hahaha yup!

[warm plover]

Whoa

[sharp obsidian]

It is. I'm not smart. 😄

[winter ivy]

I think it’s both?

[faint dawn]

Palia got talent? o3o

[winter ivy]

What does Idol do?

[warm plover]

Palia's got talent o.o

[magic mist]

i am pretty sure its Americas got the voice

[vernal knot]

there are so many talent shows you could just put one in my face and tell me it was an entirely different show and id be like “sure”

[tough orchid]

Look who decided to show up! I haven't forgotten your "oooo" and that cryptic circle gif you sent once 👀

[warm plover]

Hey Whoa can you make sure Nel's ok? she has to read through a lot of applications and questions X.X

i mean I get that its her job but still

[finite sparrow]

Speaking of which, I forgot to do mine so I need to do that now.

[lyric ether]

If getting a key is done by playing American Idol.... Which dev is Simon 🤔

[warm plover]

Do itttt

[loud axle]

WhoaNonstop just comes onstage and does standup.

[distant oar]

It's actually @sharp obsidian's job. I'm only reading it for fun.

[warm plover]

WHAT

[loud axle]

We're all doomed.

[finite sparrow]

I kinda got sidetracked by the Steam summer sales, and how to optimize my 25$ gift card XD

[cinder comet]

Goodl luck Whoa 😂

[patent adder]

Same lol. So many of them 😅

[carmine relic]

Welp. Back to the forest to never return!

[warm plover]

Nel...... you're too powerful
and Whoa.... uh...... good luck

[faint dawn]

[clear wraith]

If it is any comfort, I met my husband because he liked to play total glass cannons that made The Biggest Numbers and needed a pocket tank to keep him alive. Liking to make The Big Numbers is fine too.

[cinder comet]

🔥

[vernal knot]

love ur pfp by the way goats are my favorite animal

[warm plover]

(Nel can you check on Whoa for me then hahaha)

[patent adder]

Awh thanks. ☺️

[faint dawn]

Switching to Phone..

[warm plover]

maxing skills and leveling up is fun

[finite sparrow]

Goin to add my survey to the stack, back in a bit!

[warm plover]

bye bye!

[patent adder]

She'll be back... She always is.

[tough orchid]

Someone wrote a 9 page google doc on wow's downfall

[warm plover]

wild

[loud axle]

https://tenor.com/view/brokeback-mountain-brokeback-mountain-gifs-jake-gyllenhaal-regret-gif-8607839

[carmine relic]

How many words is that?

[uncut bear]

Enough

[vernal knot]

alright yall its like 10:30 rn for me so im gonna go to bed
gnight !!

[warm plover]

i think berry uses he though

[loud axle]

Me @ literally any video game I get into.

[cinder comet]

Who!?

[carmine relic]

G'night Octo!

[warm plover]

Should I get a he/they role instead of he/him...

[cinder comet]

I mean mine was about 600-sh words, and I thought I was rambling!

[lyric ether]

Survey thing was a great idea. Although I likely didn't do great application processes and interviews has always been my weak point. I get so nervous I jar it up haha.

[tough orchid]

I might be wrong but i think Rin?

[cinder comet]

OH my..

[warm plover]

does this look weird on me?
also no I submitted one paragraph on pet mechanics in pokemon diamond

[cinder comet]

That's a good thing to point out.

[carmine relic]

It don't look too odd.

[cinder comet]

I love Diamond

[sharp obsidian]

Don't worry - the robots are helping me.

[loud axle]

I use darkmode so I can barely see it. xD

[carmine relic]

I made 2 paragraphs, one of how AC:NH kinda sucked as a game and the other on various ways to actually make it engaging

[uncut bear]

Whoa has robots?!

[clear wraith]

Yeah I filled out the new survey going "I hope I don't sound too much like a dweeb with my choice of Beloved Game That Needed One Thing"

[warm plover]

I didn't say anything constructive, I was just like "I'd like it if there were better relationship mechanics" ughhh

[cinder comet]

I brought up Fantasy Life

[tough orchid]

He's got a golem helping him

[warm plover]

I believe in you :D

[sharp obsidian]

Yes, and all named after famous rappers.

[carmine relic]

There's still room for tag-alongs and invites from friends on the alpha, Rin!

[lyric ether]

Robots probably deleting any survey that used the word "Sucks" lol

[cinder comet]

...So is that Yung Gravy in your PFP?

[distant oar]

Awww! I love listening (or in this case reading) to something people are passionate about!

[cinder comet]

Looks vaguely like him lmao

[sharp obsidian]

Noooo I am not Yung Gravy I swear.

[cinder comet]

😂

[patent adder]

Lmao

[tough orchid]

His 21 Savage Robot might get deported to the U.K

[distant oar]

I cannot confirm or deny this.

[warm plover]

Oh yeah Nel what was the cutoff on votes necessary to pick a question in #851872239435644928
Or was it just a vague "things with more upvotes should be considered more carefully"

[clear wraith]

It is super cute to listen/read to someone get all excitable about something they love.

[cinder comet]

petition to change whoa's name to Mister Clean.

[crisp heron]

Gosh this is such a mood. It's so, so painful when there's a game that you (and potentially many other players) think needs just ooone more thing.

[warm plover]

Mister Clean,,,,

[carmine relic]

"Several people are typing..."

[warm plover]

I still want that whiteboard easter egg in the game

[tough orchid]

PLEASE tell me there's one named after bbno$

[lyric ether]

I member mister clean, he gets rid of dirt, he has more power in it.

[faint dawn]

I like woahs name.. reminds me of crash bandicoo..

[uncut bear]

I was so excited about the pre alpha that I think I rushed my survey. But none the less it was an honest answer

[lone crane]

Got a secret tip that Palia will have a crossover with diners driveins and dives. Guy fieri will be the cooking skill master.

[patent adder]

I knew she'd be back

[warm plover]

Me too Milk, me too...

[lone crane]

Good night.

[mossy hull]

Same milk

[carmine relic]

I agree, Milk

[warm plover]

ah Milk and Milky are here at the same time again

[patent adder]

Me too Milk.

[loud axle]

I'm sure we'll have some other reality shows as well. "Bahari Shore"

[uncut bear]

Me to milk

[lyric ether]

pretty much what happened with me a bit. Although it wasn't so much excitement, I just got a little nervous.

[warm plover]

Milky
Are there any languages you think of as particularly cozy-sounding?

youre the last person im gonna ask abt this

[crisp heron]

omg wait-- i can run dnd in palia

[patent adder]

Sign language is the most cozy cause no speaking

[faint dawn]

I had to triple check my survey.. then re apply for beta using the email i decided to use on second survey because i forgot which of the 2 i used..

[warm plover]

Well... I can't sing in sign language, unfortunately...

[patent adder]

Ohh.. hmm. 🤔 I'd have to think about it and get back to you

[warm plover]

Okay :)

[tough orchid]

same, i don't remember which one so i winged it

[cinder temple]

@sharp obsidian Some of the locals are convinced that we're the same person, so hopefully seeing you in the same room at the same time will finally dispel these theories.

[ocean smelt]

milky milky milky

[warm plover]

Sorry if its a weird question
it was for a palia related project of mine

[carmine relic]

Did ya know? Sign language is the least spoken language in the world.

[patent adder]

My boy 👀

[sharp obsidian]

Oh, so YOU'RE Yung Gravy

[warm plover]

whoda thunk

[patent adder]

Stop it with the dad jokes 🥺

[carmine relic]

Stop me yourself!

[warm plover]

Simuel is Yung Gravy????

[ocean smelt]

[uncut bear]

Oh I’m pretty sure all of us who frequent the chat were unbelievably nervous. Cause here we all were fantasizing about the game for weeks thinking it was at least a month from pre alpha and then BAM! CHAOS AND EXCITEMENT

[warm plover]

I knew it! (i didnt)

[cinder temple]

No, but that just means there's three of us if people also assume they're you.

[warm plover]

I'm extremely nervous at all times

[patent adder]

Italian final answer

[warm plover]

but Palia is also making me nervous

[loud axle]

Pretty sly, having a conversation with yourself.

[patent adder]

How are you ☺️

[clear wraith]

D'aww. I want Palia to feel like coming home to some hot cocoa and fuzzy socks.

[faint dawn]

Ill give you a reasontobe nervous... /jk

[warm plover]

Sim/Whoa just has two computers with two different discord accounts
and Nel is a chapaa

[carmine relic]

Ye! Don't be nervous, 'cause we're all here to be cozy and cool

[tough orchid]

What kinda inception shit did i walk into

[warm plover]

I have no idea whats going on in S6

[patent adder]

😰 she'll do it. She is crazy..

[uncut bear]

Put on your tin foil hats folks

[carmine relic]

I don't think any of us know either.

[warm plover]

Oh yeah I'mjust nervous I messed up my survey
I know I keep saying it and its probably getting annoying so ill stop, im just really worried hahahahahaha

[loud axle]

Mine is ALWAYS on.

[tough orchid]

Wait if Woah has 2 COMPUTERS, thats 2 emails he can use to get a leg up on the pre alpha sign ups !

[faint dawn]

Silence milky.. or i will sic the cats on you!

[lyric ether]

for me it's just I have a tendency to over analyze things, which often leads to higher anxiety levels. being over analytic has it's uses but g'damn if it isn't annoying when you know your going to be judged on a specific question.

[warm plover]

We will uncover the secret S6 lore of Nel the Chapaa Who Can Write Backwards and Simuel/Whoa/Yung Gravy

[patent adder]

🥺

[uncut bear]

Rin wouldn’t hurt anyone!

[warm plover]

Meow? I probably would if they deserved it, but you dont

[tough orchid]

p sure that's a sign of high iq so you're prob big brain

[warm plover]

These teefies were made for bitin

[carmine relic]

I hope we don't have a chaotic fool who attacks for no reason

[warm plover]

or they just have anxiety which. same

[carmine relic]

I've got magic n' gadgets on me, and I'm at least 80% sure one of em' explodes violently if they hit something too hard!

[warm plover]

that sounds dangerous please put them away

[carmine relic]

I did, but I'd feel sorry for any would-be burglars who'd find that out the hard way.

[uncut bear]

You remind me of that character from Atlantis with all the explosives

[carmine relic]

No idea what Atlantis is

[graceful orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/animu-anime-goodnight-gif-14037293

[uncut bear]

It’s a movie

[loud axle]

That's called an "architect." They build bridges.

[patent adder]

Goodnight new friend ☺️

[warm plover]

yknow the underwater city full of explosives

[uncut bear]

Only takes them about 10 seconds tops

[faint dawn]

Hey look i made a bridge and it only took me like what 2 seconds...

[warm plover]

night night punkin

[carmine relic]

Sounds like fun

[warm plover]

Meow... I'm gonna lie down for a bit, my head hurts...

[patent adder]

Feel better little friend 🥺

[warm plover]

😌

[carmine relic]

See ya around, Rin!

[uncut bear]

Feel better rin!

[loud axle]

@warm plover look into getting some blue light glasses for when you're on the computer. Might help 🙂

[lyric ether]

i always buy monitors now days that have it's own blue light filter settings.

[torpid sandal]

I'm existent again I hope you fell better rin!!

feel*

[finite sparrow]

Alright I did the thing. I was unoriginal and talked about harvest moon and stardew valley. 2 short paragraphs later and I hope someone at least enjoys the read. 🙂

[patent adder]

Hey friend ☺️

[torpid sandal]

heyyyyyyy

[lyric ether]

I wish I could edit mine haha. Been stewing over it all day.

[tough orchid]

I talked about Runescape lol

[clear wraith]

Hey I kept mine to 2 paragraphs too, because I figured if a human was reading every one of those I didn't want to demand too much of their time!

[patent adder]

How are you doing😄

[torpid sandal]

wait what are we talking about

[clear wraith]

The survey

[finite sparrow]

I'm hoping if I don't get in on this round, that either A)a bunch of people flake and they have to get more, or B)they realize the need a larger test group and do another round lol

[torpid sandal]

OHHHH I talked about genshin lmao

[torpid sandal]

I'm tired how are you!

[lyric ether]

oh lord. if i chose that game i wouldn't of stopped writing. That game triggers me so hard.

[clear wraith]

I let Steam tell me which game I've sunk the most hours into without picking up in a long time. It told me... Starbound.

[uncut bear]

Terraria is my most played.

Starbound is like my 10th

[finite sparrow]

I dread to look.

[lyric ether]

I was going to do that Cheery, but that would of had me do Path Of Exile which doesn't seem at all anything like this game. Tried to pick one that might have some similarities.

[tough orchid]

Def this. Even if i dont get in, i'm happy the devs are communicating and progress is getting made 🧤

[patent adder]

Hmm. I'm.. okay. 😅 maybe you should sleep earlier today

[clear wraith]

Starbound is like Terraria that will let me be a bird, so it won my affection.

[warm plover]

I have a blue light filter program :)

[warm plover]

Thanks aaaa

[clear wraith]

My two favorite things are birds and space, so of COURSE it would suck me in and spit me out like 700 hours later.

[warm plover]

My most played is Rimworld

[lyric ether]

I have just under 3000 hours into path of exile on the steam client, unsure how many spent before i switched to steam.

[warm plover]

In Starbound I always played as a plant boy, a bird or a modded race

[tough orchid]

I mean what-

[torpid sandal]

,,,,,,, genshin with like,,,,,,, 1000 hours

[patent adder]

Besides idle games on steam my most played is payday 2 😆 with 764 hours. But I know I have 2100 on osrs or something😰

[clear wraith]

(Steam has no idea how much time I've invested into Sims, or any MMO...)

[carmine relic]

Terraria is so friggin' good.

[clear wraith]

(and quite frankly I am glad nobody ever tracked that for me)

[finite sparrow]

Hmmm...apparently mine is actually Slime Rancher! Starbound, Terraria, Rimworld and No Man's Sky are all right behind as the top 5 lol

[warm plover]

Honestly Rimworld isn't even the game that had the most impact on me even though I played it the most

[random fossil]

My highest is probably FFXIV

[carmine relic]

I got 1.4k hours in Terraria, so far.

[patent adder]

Runescape tracks it 😭

[warm plover]

That title goes to NieR or Hollow Knight

[random fossil]

I'm too scared to /playtime tbh

[clear wraith]

You know I've been re-binging Slime Rancher lately. That game is so heckin chill and cute.

[tough orchid]

I've played League since 2009 how many hours is that?

[patent adder]

No fear. Embrace it.

[random fossil]

My highest on Steam is Planetside 2 at like 600 hours

[finite sparrow]

Oh god I'm so glad I dont have a tracker for that. Played since the beta >_<

[warm plover]

Hollow Knight has a special place in my memory cause one time I managed to get so absorbed in the game that I played until I passed out
I woke up on the floor with my brother looking worried about me...

[lyric ether]

my highest is probably World of Warcraft, I played from Vanilla to Wrath daily roughly 12 hours a day. My attention started getting split after wrath though

[carmine relic]

Terraria has my favorites 'cause it was my first ever PC game

[tough orchid]

you've played 38,623 hours

[patent adder]

Terraria does have a special place in my heart ☺️

[tough orchid]

welp. you're a goner when they release classic wrath

[random fossil]

See, but then I would have to consider how many hours I've invested in getting glowing weapons and honestly kind of bad titles.

[carmine relic]

I wonder if I can ascend in Terraria? Hmm.

[warm plover]

Ive never beaten Terraria

[lyric ether]

negative they already put cash shop in TBC and made changes to the game, don't trust them to not mutilate Wrath too.

[patent adder]

Shhhh. It'll be okay 😄

[tough orchid]

ah rip

[finite sparrow]

I dont count Wow anymore cuz I havn't played in a while. But last time I did /played...it said 2 years. That's 17,520 hours, I already did the math. Of actual playtime.

[carmine relic]

I'd recommend it! 's real good.

[warm plover]

its hard for me to stay focused for that long and all the multiplayer games ive been in have just slowly died one way or another

[tough orchid]

glad to know we're all ready to sink 10,000 hours into Palia

[warm plover]

Palia would be easier for me since I get to see numbers go up

[carmine relic]

Good thing you showed up mega-early, so the odds of you being here with the game dead (if it even can die) is basically zero

[lyric ether]

If you include discord chat some of us are already on our way to a couple hundred

[tough orchid]

we dont know if it's confirmed on the steam launcher

[crimson scaffold]

damn... all these expectations .... i only hope it cures depression lmao

[patent adder]

👀

[warm plover]

although i guess you kinda get that in terraria too...
im just not good with dungeons and mining and exploring dark areas

[carmine relic]

A Steam launch feels like a gauranteed thing. If it ain't, I'm gonnabe pretty sad.

[warm plover]

????¿

[tough orchid]

wha- wait he's got a point

[cinder temple]

I can't wait to see some of you in-game once the customization is more diverse. I imagine we'll be seeing lots of creativity.

[warm plover]

I meant that I can see my skill levels going up

[carmine relic]

I got a slight tunnel-vision problem

[warm plover]

not my playtime

[patent adder]

He does yes. 😆

[finite sparrow]

Day 1 of Palia for me is just going to be character creation. I'll start actually playing when I finish on day 2 lol

[warm plover]

I'll probably try to make an androgynous or slightly feminine character

[lyric ether]

actually it could, a good social game is great for depression provided the community is good. I remember when I was part of a good community back in Vanilla WoW all my depression problems melted away. It's mostly why I got so addicted to that game.

[novel plank]

I think i talked about a few games, even though the question said one... I couldn't decide because there's so many games im really fond of ;-;

[carmine relic]

I'll just be the random wizard you find.

[tough orchid]

nb4 you get kicked from character creation bc there's 1 million people in queue

[warm plover]

I'll be your local little brother, hanging around and being kind of a disaster

[crimson scaffold]

I mean Yeah it deff could.. but seeing the gaming community lately..... except for discord ofc

vanilla wow is also ages ago

[warm plover]

Thank gods we aren't the normal gaming community

[cinder temple]

The one thing I told them I'd change was the gating of content/rewards behind certain game modes like raids and PvP. From what I've seen though, Palia won't be doing this. 👌

[carmine relic]

What even is a normal gaming community?

[warm plover]

We're mostly just tired people looking for some happiness

[civic basin]

I want to make the home of my dreams but can’t afford because in reality these places just aren’t within our reach

[carmine relic]

Same. AC disappointed me, Boundless became a ghost-town, and here I am looking for my third shot!

[undone mist]

Saw people talking about high hours playing a game, my peak, kerbals. 17,298 hours.

I may have been slightly obsessed

[tough orchid]

how poetic can you get

[crimson scaffold]

damn

[novel plank]

looking for a game to fill the void and recreate the sense of newness and wonder from when we'd first play games as kids :/

[warm plover]

it wasnt that poetic

[civic basin]

Yeah I’m def tired

[patent adder]

Me too 🥺

[undone mist]

Hrmm, Subnautica captured that for me Sarah.

[novel plank]

Subnautica was really good I enjoyed both of those games

[tough orchid]

Any Glover players from N64 here?

[lyric ether]

Not going to lie, I have been roaming game to game ever sense WoTLK trying to find a new home, no community has actually fit me yet.

[warm plover]

I think it's a good way to describe the community as I've seen it so far though.

[faint dawn]

I love the sense of being lost in a game..

[finite sparrow]

I have to do another play through of the first one while I wait for another sale of Below Zero

[uncut bear]

Subnautica had that creative fresh twist in its design. Super refreshing.

[crimson scaffold]

i wish the game released today.. i need some coping from my dog passing away today

[carmine relic]

Y'all better say "HUZZAH!" if you meet me in-game

[undone mist]

Ark, Kerbals, Monster Hunter World, Subnautica were my big top hour games recently

[warm plover]

Oh... no... I'm sorry.

[civic basin]

I’ve been roaming since Everquest II and DayZ mod, it’s been a long long time

[tough orchid]

damn my deepest condolences

[undone mist]

NICE! I love Eq2

[novel plank]

This may be the first community i've actually wanted to get very intricately involved in and actually speak in the discord, regardless of the fact there's tens of thousands of people in it

[uncut bear]

Yes sir wizard

[undone mist]

This discord is a lot like NMS chat

Very tight

[uncut bear]

Same. I don’t think I’ve ever been this discord active

[patent adder]

For the most part, same. 😄 this place is gooood

[tough orchid]

No More Sauce ?

[undone mist]

Haha, no mans sky

[clear wraith]

The people here are so heckin nice and welcoming and positive, and it's so refreshing.

[carmine relic]

NMS?

[tough orchid]

can't get lost in the sauce

[clear wraith]

I love all of y'all

[cinder temple]

After several decades of being told to 'git gud', I think a large amount of gamers are just looking for a chill vibes only zone which is why Palia's getting the love it's getting.

[warm plover]

I'll be a bit sad when it's time to play. Most of the people here are from America, so I won't be able to play with you. I live in Australia...

[uncut bear]

This discord just always has someone who’s as excited about me to talk with. And it’s super inclusive so it’s not hard to get to know people and join conversation

[novel plank]

That explains why Nomi kept telling you to sleep earlier LOL

[warm plover]

chill vibes o n l y

[faint dawn]

Community has been awesome..

[uncut bear]

This

[carmine relic]

Lucky for you, I'm a midnight-wanderer kinda person, so I could keep ya company if need-be

[finite sparrow]

You'd be amazed how often our timezones might match up in gamer time. People play all hours!

[warm plover]

Yeah but...the lag

[clear wraith]

I got older and adult life is tiring and stressful enough. I want games that are relaxing and full of good feels.

[faint dawn]

I need sleep been up for 17 hours..

[lyric ether]

I agree for the most part, I did have a bit of a run in with one individual when I first got here that about ran me off with a holier then though attitude, trying to dictate what I could and couldn't talk about. Was curious about monetization and chastised me for asking questions.

[loud axle]

My sleep schedule is so screwed up lol

[uncut bear]

We defeat the lag

[patent adder]

No you Ana.

[carmine relic]

I figure they'll add an australia server.

[warm plover]

I might still be able to hang out on American servers as long as there's nothing too intense happening
just sitting around chatting would be fine i think

[crimson scaffold]

lagg doesnt matter in palia... i think xD

[warm plover]

Like visiting ppls houses

[tough orchid]

Shout out Ana for keeping up the Palia Logs 📜 ✍️

[carmine relic]

I doubt we'd have mega intense stuff going on, anyway

[finite sparrow]

Yeah it seems like a game where a bit of lag won't hurt too bad.

[mellow verge]

oh no, your name is so hard to read now .w.

[faint dawn]

Nah im just a hyper weirdo

[warm plover]

fair
i just don't wanna chop a tree and then rubberband into the floor

[mellow crest]

I like to be part of a community in games in much more of a role-play sense, I can't wait for that to be the case in here with the Good Vibes (TM)

[warm plover]

Sorry! ill go back

[mellow verge]

no no dont lol

[pure jolt]

Not if you use~~ blind mode,~~ light mode

[warm plover]

cat

[mellow verge]

its just hard to read on darkmode

[carmine relic]

Darkmode?

[warm plover]

I don't like this color very much but its way easier to see

[mellow verge]

who picked that color?! Lol, I demand an answer

[clear wraith]

Okay it's time for bed. G'nite everyone!

[faint dawn]

I love doing them.. scared of the commitment i made upon myself.. xD

[pure jolt]

Good night

[mellow crest]

GN

[tough orchid]

Wait people use default discord? ive been using light mode since day 1

[uncut bear]

Gn

[pure jolt]

Maybe if I were outside...

[warm plover]

Maybe i should server boost so i can be pink

[undone mist]

Night night Cheery Chick!

[carmine relic]

I know! Light mode is nice.

[mellow verge]

ew

[lyric ether]

dark background discord so much better then white background. The white background burns my eyeballs.

[tough orchid]

I'm kidding light mode is for devs who are too used to slack

[undone mist]

Depends for me, if its a dark or light room im in

[warm plover]

im pink

[pure jolt]

Nice

Welcome, one of us

[uncut bear]

gasp rin is pink

[warm plover]

pink club

[mellow verge]

pink club dance

[warm plover]

I'm pink dabadee dabadie...

[faint dawn]

Lightmode.. cant believed i used skype for so long...

[tough orchid]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[uncut bear]

[carmine relic]

I don't need eyesight anyway

[cinder temple]

Eshe, is that you?

[undone mist]

You know what time itg is folks? TACO TIME!

[patent adder]

I dislike this very much

[warm plover]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[pure jolt]

👁‍🗨 👅 👁‍🗨

[tough orchid]

yez i am vezy calm zmoking my ziarette

[patent adder]

Both of you.. 🥺

[tough orchid]

I think Eshe will have a french accent

[finite sparrow]

Alrighty gnight you lovely people, gotta get a child to bed.

[carmine relic]

What acent would Zeki have?

[warm plover]

i made a new status

[tough orchid]

new york accent

[lyric ether]

Not going to lie, I'll be hitting the first villager I can with an Axe... you know for Science.

[warm plover]

[carmine relic]

Please don't be the cause of horrible axe-idents

[uncut bear]

I hope she talks like they do in downtown abbey or great gatsby

[whole crag]

hit gambit with an axe.

[faint dawn]

Forgetaboutit

[cinder temple]

Pre-alpha, a lawless world where all of your transgressions will be wiped for the next round of testing.

[tough orchid]

AY IM WALKIN HERE

[warm plover]

Fuhgeddaboudit!

[carmine relic]

Imagine if Zeki had a big stupid stereotypical texan accent

[warm plover]

what do texans sound like? do they append all their sentences with yeehaw?

[carmine relic]

Sure.

[tough orchid]

i imagine him being a Brooklyn Baddie

[carmine relic]

"Go on, get!" gets turned into "GO AWN, GIT!"

[warm plover]

hawyee?

[lyric ether]

I feel like if I hit Zeki with an Axe, they will just hit me with a bigger cartoonier looking axe.

[carmine relic]

Y'all're gunna git it now!

[warm plover]

Thats the best way ive heard someone describe an accent to me before

cause ive heard it before i just didnt know it was texan

engineer tf2 I think was the one that came to mind

[carmine relic]

As a guy who's lived among farmers for his whole life, I know Southern accents like it's my blood. And ye, TF2 engie is the one I think of

[warm plover]

🪓 🐱

[pure jolt]

Oh no, the axe cleaved right through him D:

[lyric ether]

Had it right the first time kek

[cinder temple]

"Show me what you have." "An AXE." "N O."

[warm plover]

Pfft thats a classic

its weird that here i straight up cant guess how old anyone is and it also doesnt matter

[tough orchid]

We found out today from the steam that all the NPCs are masters of one "skill" it's confirmed that Einar is for Fishing

[warm plover]

Ill be hanging out with a group of moms and dads and then I'll be here, age 19,

[cinder temple]

Don't forget Einar, age 3,000(+).

[warm plover]

i dont think they said all npcs are masters of a skill, but that all skills have a master

wait was einar around when humanity vanished?

[carmine relic]

The answer to how old I am is it's basically below what you think everyone else is

[tough orchid]

Better way to word it eya

[cinder temple]

It is a mystery. pipe

[warm plover]

22?

[carmine relic]

Wow

[celest maple]

7?

I hope not

[patent adder]

That's okay 😄

[carmine relic]

You're basically right on the dot. I turn 22 next month

[warm plover]

woof

[uncut bear]

DECEPTION!

[tough orchid]

I'm gonna take an educated guess and say every one here is in their 50s ?

[loud axle]

DISGRACE

[warm plover]

Sorry I say woof like oof
i got it from the mcelroys

[uncut bear]

I can always rely on you roan

[warm plover]

like woofa doofa

[cinder temple]

Technically speaking, everyone here is in their... 2020's. 😏

[cinder comet]

https://tenor.com/view/lion-king-deception-disgrace-gif-18508159

[undone mist]

I just turned 41. Feels wonderful

[lyric ether]

not sure if age is considered private information. do not desire to accidently break any rules so i'll keep that information to myself.

[warm plover]

Its so weird that I cant guess at all and that it straight up doesn't matter

[undone mist]

Indeed

[uncut bear]

Rin is actually psychic

[undone mist]

As a gamer, I have so many friends, from 12 to 91

[carmine relic]

Same.

[undone mist]

Sigh, some I dearly miss.

[carmine relic]

I've been everywhere, so I know a lotta things! Too bad my memory sucks.

[tough orchid]

Yeah I'm 1-100 years old

[warm plover]

Ah... if it's private information I've broken the rules multiple times now
People here know what city im in and my age hahaha

[warm plover]

I know how it feels. I've only lost a couple people like that...

I can't imagine it gets better

[lyric ether]

My age is... My kids watched Dora and Veggie Tales.. I watched Anamaniacs, Tiny Toons, and was really into leather jackets.

[undone mist]

SweetPea, from The Realm was my hardest to lose

[warm plover]

43?

[undone mist]

She was one of the oldest, longest living guild leaders ive known

[warm plover]

For me it was BirdyThePhoenix from Town of Salem

[lyric ether]

The Realm was a great game. I really enjoyed the staff doing interactive roleplaying events to tell the games story

[warm plover]

I wasn't particularly close to her, but every so often I'll remember...

[undone mist]

Sweetpea was more or less a mom for many of us

[carmine relic]

I wish I could remember my favorite friend, but I can't quite remember.

[undone mist]

She passed quite old, ever her older mom played the realm

The guild still exists too!

Its the oldest gaming guild on any game

[lyric ether]

ehhhhh

[harsh herald]

OHH rin became a server booster

congrats and thankuuuuu @warm plover

[warm plover]

I hate losing people

I never want to lose anyone again, but I know it isn't realistic.

[lyric ether]

Mud's was around long before The Realm, and had guilds so I'm not sure if you can call it the oldest on any game unless of course the guild started on a MUD.

[shut hinge]

They probbaly mean the oldest guild still going

[uncut bear]

Stand by me always buddy

[warm plover]

😔

[carmine relic]

I also wish to stand by

[warm plover]

Sorry for this bummer of a conversation

[uncut bear]

You may gambit. I would be honored

[lyric ether]

Energy is never destroyed, nor created. Our bodies are full of energy so based on that, even when someone passes they are still here someway.

[celest maple]

u ok mate?

[carmine relic]

OH! I remember my best friend! I still know em', we talk!

[warm plover]

Nope :)

[celest maple]

need someone to talk to?

[warm plover]

I'll be alright, but thank you

[celest maple]

u sure

[warm plover]

Onto more happy things, from the art/characters we've seen so far, which ones do you think might be skill masters?

[undone mist]

Personally I have no fear of losing. Everything has a time and place.

Hrmm

I honestly have no clue how the characters will fit into the game

[warm plover]

it would be kinda funny if the kid with the big backpack was one

[carmine relic]

POTION MAKING! I know my job now.

[shut hinge]

The Hunter is a obvious one

[undone mist]

Probably like most games, quest givers and such

Im a lumberjack, NO question

[warm plover]

I really want the Hunter to be super respectful about the deceased and stuff

[lyric ether]

a person after my own heart. I just want to chop trees.

chop chop chop chopping that wood.

[warm plover]

"The first rule is to only ever take what you need.
The second rule is to thank your prey."
That sort of thing.

[uncut bear]

Jina is totally related to some kinda knowledge skill

Zeki has to be a master of trade or something a little less reputable

Tamala is obviously potions or alchemy

[uncut bear]

This

[cinder temple]

Zeki for supplies, Hunter for huntsman training, Tamala for potion crafting, Einar for fishing (and eternal friendship), Unnamed Fancy Elf for clothing and/or decorating, Jina for SCIENCE, Unnamed Good Vibes Elf Lady for bug collecting. To be continued.

[warm plover]

a tailoring skill would be so awesome

[tough orchid]

Ashura could be a brewmaster

[coral belfry]

Will this game be paylia to playlia?

[uncut bear]

Yes

[warm plover]

I wonder how a Zeki skill would even work? I don't know if it's possible to work in a merchanting skill

[uncut bear]

Or even something related to speech

[cinder temple]

Wheeling and dealing for better prices or bartering.

[warm plover]

They aren't ready to talk about monetisation yet

[carmine relic]

He's probably just a salesman for wares

[warm plover]

Ah, that could be it. I personally just imagined him being a merchant and not a skill master

[carmine relic]

Zeki: "To get the finest wares, you need to speak well and procure the greatest investments."
In reality: "Hey bro I'm new" "oh man, here have 30 end-game tools"

[warm plover]

pffft

"Hey I'm new" "Oh here's a million dollars"

thats what my brother did for me when i started xiv

[daring lagoon]

Good morning / Good afternoon / Good evening

[warm plover]

Hiya

[lyric ether]

The way Zeki looks, them giving you anything for free sounds awfully out of character... unless it's a favor which they plan to call back... a devil's bargain kind of deal.

[cinder temple]

I might invest in skills at some point, but I think realistically I'm just going to start collecting useless items en masse.

[carmine relic]

Good day

[carmine relic]

It's called a College Loan

[warm plover]

is it really useless if you can put it on your table and it looks neat

student debt 😔

[coral belfry]

Stack 20 toads on top of eachother

[warm plover]

look at all these toads!!!!

[loud axle]

lol I was generous in games but I'd make people play a game with me to earn money. Literally played Deal or No Deal with someone once.

[warm plover]

pfffffft

[coral belfry]

Toadally worth it

[carmine relic]

I wonder how many houses it'll take to find a cursed house?

[warm plover]

I think most people want a cozy house but some funny people would probably make terrifying ones

[cinder temple]

Probably not long. We have about 13 witches in this server.

[warm plover]

Like blocking the exits and just having dolls everywhere...

[carmine relic]

How many witches

[warm plover]

WITCHES ARENT CREEPY!! THEYRE COOL!!!!!

[coral belfry]

Build it upside down, and have people enter through a ladder in the chimney

[lyric ether]

If there is a way.... I'll decorate my house with spider themed things. Totally have a spider chair to sit in...

[carmine relic]

We only got 3 wizards!

[cinder temple]

Web hammock.

[lyric ether]

Yesh! Web hammock would be so comfy

[coral belfry]

I mean if you can make it work it will only be a net win

[tough orchid]

YOOO we need portable hammocks now

[warm plover]

I want pink. i want pastel pink furniture

people will call me a girl gamer or something. little do they know im just a guy that likes pink

[harsh herald]

Hey ppl wassup

[warm plover]

👋

[harsh herald]

Chat still active at this time

[cinder temple]

Indeed.

[lyric ether]

poor people reading the surveys, everytime they get passed one 10 more are filled out i bet.

[harsh herald]

I just want to play this game so bad

[uncut bear]

Yes it’s active!

Welcome!

[harsh herald]

Hey milk

[dark gull]

They definitely have them filtered I'm sure. It probably partially depends on your first survey, and they may have key words they look for.

[patent adder]

Hello☺️

[uncut bear]

How are you akn?

[harsh herald]

Did you check the timestamp at the Livestream?

[harsh herald]

Oh hi there milky how are you

[harsh herald]

I'm tired and almost falling asleep hahaa

[azure rock]

Yeet

Guess who cant sleep

[harsh herald]

And HBU

[patent adder]

Good good. You should sleep 🥺

[harsh herald]

Today was a great day! I think I can spend few minutes talking with the community before sleeping hahaha

[crude edge]

Does someone have the link to the second survey

[azure rock]

[patent adder]

Okay fine, fine. That's good today was good 😄

[crude edge]

Thanks im blind lol i couldnt see it

[warm plover]

Apparently its mostly Whoa but Nel is doing it for fun and Aidan sees some of the highlights

[tough orchid]

what does Whoa even do

[lyric ether]

Only one person, yeah mine totally got junk piled by the bot then lol.

[warm plover]

no idea!!!

[celest maple]

ithink i missed the first survey

[warm plover]

Yeah Whoa said he had robots

i thought it was a joke but it probably isnt

[harsh herald]

Will guild system be available on pre alpha?

[lyric ether]

can't be. it'd be impossible for one person to get past that many survey's in a single week.

[tough orchid]

Probably running the surveys through an algorithm bot

[undone mist]

Im frankly ok if I miss the first alpha. My time constraints recently have been less the agreeable.

Having to move house was.. less then ideal, especially with a dying car lol

[tough orchid]

There's one million people who have seen the cinematic on twitter too

[warm plover]

Im okay with it too. If a good tester gets in instead of me, then I cant say i wont be sad, but at least I'll know that the game is in good hands!

[lyric ether]

I'm pretty much okay missing first too. I prefer later Alpha's more then earlier ones but at the same time... I also like the feeling of contributing early.

[undone mist]

I definitely have experience as a tester, I did proper Alpha testing for blizzard on wow for 2 and a half years before release.

[warm plover]

By the way Nel said she actually wants to read every single survey...

[undone mist]

I just have way less time now.

[celest maple]

ive only been in an alpha test once and it was for a really bad game that had so many problems not even the devs could fix it it time for relase and still hasnt be fixed Fallout 76

[undone mist]

You know, I still havent tried that game lol

[celest maple]

the game was good the amount of bugs horrible i enjoyed the game

[azure rock]

Its honestly improved alot

[undone mist]

Hrmm, Ill try it someday.

[tough orchid]

Famous last words

[azure rock]

I love seeing games go from early access to full development

[celest maple]

it has but still has alot to be fixed

[undone mist]

Considering Ive played nearly every mmo ever, il get around to it meme

[tough orchid]

aka my entire steam library is on hold bc i log in and scroll up and down, log out and hop on discord

[azure rock]

I have waaay to many games I still need to get into

[celest maple]

i want to get strdew vally but have ero friends to play with

[azure rock]

I need more mmos tbh so this game is on my must play list

[tough orchid]

I'm 28 hours in Divinity OS2 and im still in the first area

[harsh herald]

I love terraria but my friends hate it so I always play alone 😫

[azure rock]

I'd play with ya if you ever wanted to

[harsh herald]

I know your pain

[eternal temple]

It’s a good game, what class?

[patent adder]

Terraria so good 🥺

[azure rock]

I loooove farming type games

[eternal temple]

Saaaaame

[harsh herald]

Yesss

[tough orchid]

summoner lol its really fun

[azure rock]

I love starbound too

[lyric ether]

I have testing experience in multiple different games and stages. My first experience was during WoTLK, my account has been marked to be a tester for every expansion sense that date so I feel like I have either been very lucky or they marked me to always be a tester for some reason. It's honestly my experience there that got me into testing, I really love the small testing communities, like I said before it feels a bit like solving a puzzle together when you are chasing down a specific bug together trying to figure exactly what causes it. Most recent experiences was mostly just by buying into EA games, most recent was Hokko Life. If you hanged out on their steam community forums you may have seen me there hunting down bugs, and helping people with work arounds. My name there is also Suslik.

[azure rock]

its like terarria but space

[celest maple]

im dawg at that game so my friends refuse to boss when im online lmfao

[warm plover]

dos2 is so good

[eternal temple]

Doing lone wolf or running with full group?

[warm plover]

whats wotlk?

[lyric ether]

wrath of the lich king

[azure rock]

My profession is testing so I really hope I can give some input for the game

[harsh herald]

I have tried it but I can't help but play terraria, i am simply attached to the game

[eternal temple]

Starbound worth? I haven’t tried. I loved terraria though

[tough orchid]

Now that i think about it a lone wolf summoner run is really doable. But im playing for the first time so i have some party members

[azure rock]

I like it personally but I can see how it may not be for everyone

[eternal temple]

I’ve been trying to start it again with my buddy…maybe I can convince him soon 🤔

[harsh herald]

I've played both and i think terraria is more comfy and chilly

[eternal temple]

Oh well…I certainly like comfy and chilly 🤣

[harsh herald]

But it's personal preference

What I like about terraria is the whole building thing

You can make really good looking houses

Several different kinds of materials to choose from

[tough orchid]

TinkerTown is a new game and it's a mixture of old school zelda + minecraft

[lyric ether]

i tried terraria wanted to give it a shot but i really couldn't get past the retro feel. Felt like I was playing an atari game again

[harsh herald]

I guess you haven't tried Starbound then

[lyric ether]

I kind of like my games to have more of a PS1 or 2 graphics or better.

[eternal temple]

This looks interesting…

[azure rock]

Tinkertown?

[warm plover]

Im going to sound like a heretic but ive never played a zelda game in my life

[tough orchid]

yeah seems fun i just got it

[celest maple]

i only played one when i was 4-6 and i wasnt a fan

[lyric ether]

https://tenor.com/view/heresy-located-heresy-joffrey-rage-heretical-gif-14530076

[eternal temple]

You can fish and farm?

[carmine relic]

Gods help her

[celest maple]

bless her soul

[harsh herald]

Have you guys heard of palia? It's a mix. Between harvest moon, Stardew valley, animal crossing and it's very comfy and chilly

[celest maple]

what was survey 1 i missed it i think

[warm plover]

its on palia.com i think

[harsh herald]

Yeah

[warm plover]

you just put your email in and thats it iirc

[harsh herald]

But it wasnt released yet

I am lucky that I will be one of the players who'll test the game

[patent dust]

when you put in your email on the site it gives you the option to do a survey to increase your chance, thats survey 1. survey 2 is in #📢│palia-news

[harsh herald]

(Let me believe in this pls)

[carmine relic]

I wonder what our chances are

[warm plover]

do you think einar is a catch and release kind of guy

[patent dust]

well theres only 1400 getting in

[lyric ether]

I really wish I put more time on my survey. Was a little worried that the rush would kick me out and have me retype it... So I just tried to write something quick about a game that might have one or two things in common with palia.

[patent dust]

out of at least 100k people

[warm plover]

http://prntscr.com/16oluwu
thinkin bout tiny einar

[tough orchid]

judging by the HOARD of dead fish by his feet in the cinematic...

[harsh herald]

Thr only thing i don't want is: i dont get pre alpha and my sister does. That will be war at home

[azure rock]

Im sure they are also gonna do other offers too

like this is only the pre alpha

[celest maple]

i did it on mobile it didnt give me that

[patent dust]

yes theres going to be other testing phases and they hope to have more testers for those

[azure rock]

Right, and theyre probably gonna do a stress test version later down the road

[harsh herald]

Speaking of which, she told me earlier she saw me hanging out with ppl in here and she was just 👀

It won't be fair

[lyric ether]

Oh dear lord, I just had a terrifying thought what if the next phase is a discord interview with them to narrow down the final choices.

[harsh herald]

🤣

[lyric ether]

application process was bad enough lol

[harsh herald]

Anxiety much?

[azure rock]

Just be honest

[patent dust]

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZGHwBA-jzNBjLYwVD9-1C_d364vCJZ0RZc0BubW6vONeMTQ/viewform heres a direct link to the first survey @celest maple

[azure rock]

I know that sounds easier said then done

[tough orchid]

Oh man they read our essays in front of the entire lecture hall of 400 people

[warm plover]

Nel, in my dms: "so.... i see you around constantly, why do you act like a cat?"

[cinder temple]

What do you think this past month has been? 🙃

[carmine relic]

Probably not the most outlandish person they've handled

[keen seal]

Because am cat, duh

[warm plover]

oh no did i pass

[keen seal]

https://tenor.com/view/mean-girls-amanda-seyfried-karen-smith-duh-mouse-ears-gif-3892225

[carmine relic]

It's been 21 days! That's... oh crap, 1 more week and we're a month old

[azure rock]

Im a human just a normal human

[pure jolt]

The cats get the pats

[azure rock]

and..definitively not 3 raccoons in a trench coat

[lyric ether]

That cat looks pretty sus.

[keen seal]

I’m a grad student who currently hates my existence 🥲

[harsh herald]

Same

[eternal temple]

When someone says they definitely aren’t 3 raccoons in a trench coat, it makes me think they are 3 raccoons in a trench coat

[cinder temple]

https://i.imgur.com/xmcFODYh.jpg

[azure rock]

Whaaat no...

[mild talon]

I would love to go to school, but I have to feed family.

lmao

[lyric ether]

I'm anxiety personified.

[mild talon]

all perspective I guess.

[warm plover]

and nel DEFINITELY isnt a chapaa

[keen seal]

Oh man, I’m so sorry! lol

[azure rock]

It was one time! and they tricked me with the amount of eggs

[harsh herald]

Team chapaa

[harsh herald]

It's fine lol. Anyways we never stop studying

Like if you want to keep progressing in life you need to be on point with knowledge..

Please ew

[shrewd fiber]

why?

like what was the point/

[lyric ether]

well I didn't realize it would be that large.

[shut hinge]

Yuck

[harsh herald]

Imma pewk

[keen seal]

Start a PhD in a sciency thing. They’ll pay for your degree! I mean… they pay garbage while you produce research/papers/undergrad teaching, but… at least I’m not paying tuition? 😅

[azure rock]

I should probably go to sleep

but at the same time

Gaaames

[harsh herald]

Worth it

[warm plover]

Everyone at S6 having like two names is so confusing
like Sasha is also Alexandra and Nel is Eda

[eternal temple]

It’s not the fly that gets me it’s the brightness

[harsh herald]

I'm at a similar situation

[warm plover]

nicknames are fun

[harsh herald]

But things arent that easy here in Brazil

[azure rock]

I dropped out of college and went into game development

[keen seal]

Agreed… I guess that’s why I’m here… still… lol

[harsh herald]

Yeah

[carmine relic]

Nicknames are always great

[wide wedge]

Hello everyone!!

[lyric ether]

Game development sounds like fun, but even messing around with just RPG maker I learned it's a lot of work and not as fun as the childhood me dreamed it would be. I mean sure I stayed up all night a lot out of being hyped and excited chasing that next thing to get to work... but yeah..... I don't envy people in the career it's tough.

[harsh herald]

Keep going 😅

[warm plover]

oh also Luiza and Laurisse are the same person too

[harsh herald]

Hello

[keen seal]

Oof, yeah! Come on a vaccine vacation to.. idk, Midwest US? 😅😬

[azure rock]

Oh trust me it has its privileges but I also have alot of hard work ahead of me, but I still love my Job

[eternal temple]

It’s certainly rewarding

[tough orchid]

Wait light mode Discord on mobile is actually a cozy vibe

[celest maple]

multiple nicknames/handles or just nicknames and given/preferred names?

[lyric ether]

Now days only reason I ever want to get into development is because every single game I play feels great but is always missing that something special. Nothing ever hits the mark anymore.

[carmine relic]

Yeah, now ya got it!

[cinder wave]

what's poppin pals

[warm plover]

Just one as far as i know

[tough orchid]

You just lower the brightness a bit lol

[eternal temple]

My knees and back

[harsh herald]

Well i got both doses already because I am a healthcare professional. The bad thing is our government itself, things are not that easy for us to get "paid for studying" you know, but I'm on my way to get there

[cinder wave]

my back may as well be corn for how much it pops

[eternal temple]

Jk I’m semi young and spry

Lmao

[harsh herald]

What

Light mode sucks on everything lol 😆

[lyric ether]

vaccine is more to keep yourself safe, you can still get sick and spread it even if you get the vaccine it's more like a flu shot then our childhood vaccines which makes you immune to things.

[keen seal]

Ohhhhh, they don’t use you as TAs to teach all their undergrad labs? I’m suddenly so thankful for even the worst teaching assignments

[tough orchid]

It’s beautiful on mobile for me personally

[keen seal]

Truth

[celest maple]

i did the survey

[warm plover]

i wonder who ill confuse with my new profile pic

[harsh herald]

Yup

[balmy zenith]

Hold up where was questionaire 1?

[warm plover]

palia.com

[novel plank]

probably not many, if they know how to read (:

[cinder wave]

the website

[keen seal]

Okay, that’s actually fair maybe, cause if you go to accessibility settings, you can lower the “white point” which basically dims the entire brightness scale

[uncut bear]

Me. You confused me

[tough drum]

The init so application

[warm plover]

after you put your email in you get a questionairre

[celest maple]

well i cant read so ima have a problem

[warm plover]

i recognise pfps more than names 💔

[celest maple]

i didnt get the questnior when i used my phone

[lyric ether]

if you can't read....how do you discord.

[patent adder]

Me too for a second 🤔

[celest maple]

text to speech

[lyric ether]

i forgot that is a thing now days.

[warm plover]

I submitted my email to them again to see the survey... I feel really bad

[uncut bear]

Now if his name was still dark blue and hard to read I would have thought they were an entirely different person

[warm plover]

I needed to see it again to remember whether or not i filled it out

[tough orchid]

I just tried this and it works perfectly

[keen seal]

It’s my literal favorite!!! If you’ve an iPhone, you can set your shortcut (triple-click lock button) to turn it on!!

[harsh herald]

They do at universities, but my scenario is different. I'm currently studying to pass an exam to be a resident at a local hospital. If I pass they will pay me and at the end of the course I'll have my post-graduation complete and one step closer to my master's

[harsh herald]

I already got confused with your name color

[lyric ether]

I'm split, I think Fancypantsmcgee is probably my favorite dev name, but then again. As a foodie, I also like Omnomnom.

[harsh herald]

That's acceptable

[loud axle]

I dunno, WizardCrab is pretty great!

[harsh herald]

But the whole light mode idea is painful

[lyric ether]

True, you can never go wrong with a Wizard

[cinder wave]

Add wizard to any animal and you've got a good time

[lyric ether]

WizardLizard

[warm plover]

Fancypantsmcgee reminds me of a flash game from waaaaay back

....theres no way its the same guy right

[cinder wave]

I know the one

[warm plover]

also i bought four games on steam today 🙃 thanks summer sale

[undone mist]

Which game, just got back

[warm plover]

uhh

Outer Wilds, Firewatch, GRIS, and My Time At Portia

[lyric ether]

I can't wait for Sandrock, Portia was sooooo good.

[warm plover]

i also bought Haunt the House: Terrortown for like a dollar yesterday cause that was a flash game from a looooong time ago and it gives me nostalgia

[undone mist]

Ah portia was good!

Never did outerwilds, didnt have time. Looked good

[keen seal]

You can do it!! Go you!! Keep going! (And if you have access to it, keep in mind grad school is hard and therapy is helpful 😊)

[carmine relic]

I should check out the sale soon, too. Man.

[warm plover]

<--- walked into #🎮│other-games and got hit with all four recommendations

[harsh herald]

Thankuuu

[warm plover]

Wow, nier replicant ver.1.22 is on sale already?

[keen seal]

Omg, how is firewatch?!! I keep getting it recommended to me, and I think I might need it

[main saddle]

hi all

[warm plover]

I have no idea! i just heard that its pretty so i bought it lol
