[night kraken]

Might as well burn it all to keep everyone warm lol

[eternal temple]

Morning Palians

[tawdry rain]

it was pretty awesome

[night kraken]

👋 Morning mate

[warm plover]

[eternal temple]

Or afternoon 🤔

[tough orchid]

I can’t wait to meet Eshe in-game and acquire her bougie furniture

[warm plover]

👋

[night kraken]

Glad to hear it!

[grand cloud]

Morning!!

[warm plover]

Someone said it before but Eshe looks like someone who would demand to speak to your manager

[mellow verge]

Haha yes. The rich snobby lady

[tough orchid]

More like she would buy the place out entirely and close it down

[eternal temple]

Her middle name is Karen

[warm plover]

crying zeki noises

[tough orchid]

Eshe got that OLD MONEY AESTHETIC

[celest maple]

it really is getting cold isnt it. at least here it is anyway. today wasnt bad here though

[mellow verge]

"I demand to buy this establishment"

"I .. I'm just the manager, I don't own the building ma'am"

[night kraken]

Yeah it is, came an hour or so ago and it was freezing outside. Winter is definitely here lol. But it's better than the heat

[mellow verge]

Oh yeah! Y'all are having winter right now

[tough orchid]

She reminds me of your old rich grandmother that you’ve barely interacted with, once you’re older she tells you all the family secrets lol

[warm plover]

Well... winter is worse

[mellow verge]

Omg yes

[keen aspen]

i wish it was winter again ._.

[warm plover]

I hate summer and winter but summer at least im used to

i dont think i can ever get used to the cold as an australian

[crystal topaz]

It would be hard to talk about Palia all day long, what with the lack of info we have.

[celest maple]

i prefer the heat. but i'm not in Australia, so i can say that without much consequence =P I seen your temps. i don't want to feel them!

[mellow verge]

It's wild sometimes to remember the south hemisphere has opposite seasons

[rotund burrow]

I hope Palia will have a character plot or land system where whether you join a guild you can take your build or house in the guild neighborhood damn quality of life

[void imp]

i don't think she is a karen, i feel like she is very socially aware and polite and elegant to keep a good reputation, her true character might be another story...

[warm plover]

True... she's described as 'poisonous'

[night kraken]

Trust me, I don't think anyone does want to feel the heat here 🤣 Would be colder on the surface of the sun I swear

[keen aspen]

i do feel sorry for Eshe though, being unhappily married..

[tough orchid]

One thing I remember from the live stream is the welcoming party the starting village is throwing for all the new Humans. I think that’s wholesome as frick

[warm plover]

You might need to feel sorry for her husband instead...

[coarse portal]

It's more likely that the Duchess is the karen

[void imp]

I DIDN'T CATCH THAT

[keen aspen]

why?

[warm plover]

It might be him who's unhappily married to her

[tough orchid]

Yeah Aiden said the village is throwing a welcoming festival for us

[night kraken]

I agree, shes too elegant. Like if you get on her bad side, she will ruin your business without you noticing till its too late

[mellow verge]

I need to watch the vod later

[keen aspen]

then im sure it wouldnt say on her character sheet that shes unhappy?

[mellow verge]

They might both be unhappy for different reasons

[warm plover]

Maybe she doesn't care for him? I don't know

They can both be unhappy

[void imp]

i love that nel's mic didn't work :3 it was so wholesome to see them calmly help each other out and ernestly try to do a good job being her voice

platonic vibes uwu

[warm plover]

Automatically demonising her husband isn't great when we dont even know the guy

[tough orchid]

It seems like Eshe is the brains of the family operation and her husband is along for the ride lmao

[keen aspen]

i didnt demonise her husband

[void imp]

tbf all she said was that she feels sorry eshe is unhappy lol

[warm plover]

I like to think her husband is a himbo

I know sorry I used too strong a word

[mellow verge]

Ok so uh where's the link for the twitch vod? I don't see it anywhere

[warm plover]

Pins

[mellow verge]

This channel?

[warm plover]

ye

[mellow verge]

Ok thank you

I thought it'd be in the official art or social feed

[void imp]

i made a collage of some palia npcs that i can drop my paliasona in the middle of, to see if the aesthetics match >:3

[void imp]

nel's message is in #📢│palia-news

[night kraken]

thats a brilliant idea

[warm plover]

that's a wonderful idea flower noises

[placid narwhal]

Lol

I like the purple name hehe

[wispy wyvern]

Good morning Paliens.

[void imp]

😭 your profile pic and name

[warm plover]

Guten morgen

[void imp]

hi kae

[warm plover]

thats a big crossaint!

[void imp]

really tho

[placid narwhal]

Yes I am a big croissant 😄

[void imp]

a good croissant too

[wispy wyvern]

And very aerodynamic.

[warm plover]

how large is the croissant

[placid narwhal]

2 meters high muwahahah

You don't eat the croissant...

[wispy wyvern]

Well that's lunch sorted.

[placid narwhal]

...the croissant eats you

[warm plover]

HugePastry

[waxen vine]

that is one big croissant :O

[keen aspen]

😱

[slim shard]

Good Day Palians!

[warm plover]

👋

[wispy wyvern]

scratches "Flaky Pastry Homonculous" off the internet bingo card

[vernal knot]

just an absolute leviathan of a crossiant
also good morning everybody

[placid narwhal]

And for the record, I'm not a fat croissant, it's winter and it's cold

[waxen vine]

good day. hope everyone is having an awesome day

[warm plover]

Good morning

[mellow verge]

Can we eat you tho if we're starving

[warm plover]

Do cats eat pastry?

[night kraken]

Might not be healthy for them but im not sure

[mellow verge]

They can if they're not too greasy or salty

[placid narwhal]

That can only be settled in one way: A duel to the death

[warm plover]

I can join in then :)

[mellow verge]

We'll just push you over 😂

[warm plover]

i wanted to change my name to Local Stray but someone said they would adopt me if I did...

[placid narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/dont-you-dare-dont-dont-do-it-the-office-michael-scott-gif-14178027

[warm plover]

I want your mental image of me to be of a random cat that just shows up every now and then
noone knows where i came from or where i go

[mellow verge]

🤔 local homeless cat... No uhm uh .. well you can be a stray without adoption

Friendly neighborhood cat

[wispy wyvern]

You know what we need to defeat the big croissant?

A humongous mug of hot chocolate.

[waxen vine]

why a duel to the death? can it be a duel until my back hurts and need to take a 5 minute rest?

[warm plover]

:3c

[mellow verge]

... You...a buttery croissant with... Hot chocolate? Eeww

[wispy wyvern]

Over thirty huh? nods I getchoo

[placid narwhal]

Muwahaha, I will sit on you when you let your guard down.

[keen aspen]

a croissant with hot chocolate is great

[mellow verge]

You hit thirty and the knees go first

[waxen vine]

I'd eat that 😏

[placid narwhal]

All this talk of consuming me is very discomforting. What a savage community

[mellow verge]

https://c.tenor.com/fk4-4LetGYIAAAAM/wrong-question.gif

[warm plover]

things that go well with croissants:

• sweet things
• mmmmmmmmmm cold mornings
• that sound leaves make when theyre kinda cronchy
• sleeping

[wispy wyvern]

I'm staving off my impulses with hot buttered crumpets, you are safe for now

[mellow verge]

Are we not talking about the same thing

[coarse portal]

🤔 might get myself croissants for a late lunch

[waxen vine]

how do you eat a croissant if you're asleep,thou? 🤔

[warm plover]

i said they go well with croissants i didnt say i was eating the croissant

[keen aspen]

same... my local bakery has awesome ones with lots of chocolate inside

[wispy wyvern]

So @void imp what have I missed?

[mellow verge]

Where I live they're just eaten with savory things, not sweet

[placid narwhal]

Now there's talks of eating my relatives, how barbaric

[mellow verge]

Lol

I think we're all hungry and in walks the food

[coarse portal]

Its a though world out there

[keen aspen]

now im curious, where are you from?

[mellow verge]

Missouri

[warm plover]

In nature, the strong eat the weak
I, a cat, am strong. You, a croissant, are also strong. We are at an impasse.

[waxen vine]

someone should make a game where you are a croissant and eat people

[mellow verge]

What logic is this

[keen aspen]

i mean, ive had croissant with cheese and bacon before, but i prefer it sweet 🙂

[warm plover]

the first thing i think of when someone says savory is pork
and imagining pork with croissants sounds bad

[mellow verge]

Bacon

[warm plover]

oh

[mellow verge]

Actually it's not uncommon to make pigs in a blanket

[waxen vine]

mmmm...yummy

[placid narwhal]

Tow Sawyer is all I know when I hear missouri

[warm plover]

why are you eating the pigs while theyre sleeping

[mellow verge]

What about Spirit of St Louis.
The Arch, gateway to the west

The Cardinals
Budweiser

[placid narwhal]

Sorry, me no hablo ingles

[waxen vine]

its the proper ritualistic way to consume both their bodies and their souls

[night kraken]

Better than eating them whilst they are awake

[mellow verge]

Missouri has things but no one knows it was made there

[placid narwhal]

I wouldn't know, I'm not even American D:

[mellow verge]

We made peanut butter

And thanks to the world fair everyone has cool fair food

[placid narwhal]

Google says it's a canadian guy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcellus_Gilmore_Edson

[void imp]

sorry! you missed an art/game fun facts stream, we have a non-palia arts and crafts channel now, i found my favourite shepherd video, whoanonstop is reading the applications and has a new profile pic, shrew deserves a hug, hmm...

[mellow verge]

It says a St Louis guy made the machine for it

[warm plover]

nel is also reading through the applications. for fun

[void imp]

we got more paliasonas and someone painted a whole scene that fooled palia staff into thinking its official art

[warm plover]

she wants to read every last one

[waxen vine]

did someone say hugs??!!

[mellow verge]

I want Kar in there t.t

Nerding out about @PlayPalia still. Heavily inspired by

[void imp]

in the world of palia?

or in the art channel, paliafied?

[night kraken]

We need more paliasona's

[mellow verge]

Paliafied, I can't mimic the art style

I posted him so long ago he's surely lost

[warm plover]

I could probably mimic it if you wanted a really bad version and if I had a long enough time
If there's one thing im okay at its copying people

[wispy wyvern]

Someone needs to hire that nerd.

[warm plover]

ikr thats what i said

[night kraken]

It's a great art style, but I can't do it either

[placid narwhal]

Question: who came up with Paliasona? why not Palians or Paliasonians?

[warm plover]

i literally linked the hiring page and i was like. hello. please apply

[mellow verge]

Palia-sona was just a term instead of persona

[warm plover]

I dunno I guess it just stuck? Palians refers to the people that live on Palia I think
like how we would br earthlings

[mellow verge]

Is Palia the country or the town... No one knows

[night kraken]

It's the world. I believe they said that in the last stream? Like their Earth

[void imp]

it's not the word for the people from palia, it's a word for characters fans create for the world of palia

yeah i also heard palia might be the world/planet

[mellow verge]

Oh cool then

[void imp]

palians 👽 has been confirmed as the word for the residents

[keen aspen]

its like the word Fursona

[placid narwhal]

I will pretend I know that word to seem smart

[placid narwhal]

Right! Makes sense now

[wispy wyvern]

You have a Foodsona. 😉

[keen aspen]

its what furrys call their furry persona XD

[placid narwhal]

I am very proud to have declared publicly to not know that word

[warm plover]

Ah, you can see mine in my profile pic

[mellow verge]

Y'all hate on furry tsk tsk

[warm plover]

<-- weirdo

[wispy wyvern]

Go team weirdo!

[warm plover]

you guys arent meant to agree with that...

[mellow verge]

I'm one too, so yes, I do lol

[night kraken]

Being a weirdo is the way to go

[warm plover]

i feel like im doing a tsukkomi bit

[crystal topaz]

Weird to the world, normal to this server... Hmm..

[vernal knot]

i have a fursona too, shes in my pfp lol

[mellow verge]

I can't see it very well, what animal

[void imp]

click it shar

[mellow verge]

No no my eyes are bad ATM

[void imp]

ooh sorry hehe

[keen aspen]

looks like a horse?

[night kraken]

I made a fursona once, years ago. Never really got into that whole thing though

Yeah definitely makes me think of a horse

[mellow verge]

I don't really have a fursona but I've made great friends with some furries. And so I got into drawing them

[night kraken]

They can be really chill people

[warm plover]

I also think its a horse

drawing furries rakes in money

[mellow verge]

I don't get paid 😂

[wooden widget]

we arent talking nsfw again right, that was enough yesterday

[warm plover]

it also unfortunately exposes you to whatever is going on in Furry Drama™️

no this is sfw furries

[night kraken]

I can't draw fur well enough to even think about trying that

[mellow verge]

We don't talk about the server, Elder

[void imp]

furries being nsfw by default is misinformation

[wooden widget]

I meant the topic yesterday

[mellow verge]

Thank you

[vernal knot]

ah sorry!! its a goat :))

[warm plover]

ive never ever gotten an nsfw comm of my sona

[void imp]

ah lol

[warm plover]

sorry i thought it was a horse omg im sorryyy

[vernal knot]

no problem, i get it. no need to be sorry

[void imp]

🐐

[night kraken]

The loud bad minority of a community is always what everyone sees first, thats where the misinformation comes from I feel

[mellow verge]

I posted an idea for a protogen in the #🎨│artistry

[keen aspen]

a goat? thats cute

[wispy wyvern]

@void imp And yeah I caught a little of the stream, I saw the art of the matronly character briefly.

[void imp]

nice :3

[warm plover]

shes in #🌠│official-art now

[void imp]

and they recorded the stream

[warm plover]

we must show everyone the joy of whiteboard nel

[rancid gate]

Whiteboard nel was great ❤️

[warm plover]

and get more people to upvote the "lets put a whiteboard as an easter egg" suggestion

[mellow verge]

I'm so sad I missed it. I don't have time for the vod until later today

[void imp]

pat pat theyll stream agaijn

[serene jasper]

morning!!

[warm plover]

Morning :)

[night kraken]

Morning 👋

[mint fern]

Afternoon all :D

[serene jasper]

how are u all doing!

[night kraken]

Doing well! A bit cold though, yourself?

[serene jasper]

aw i’m glad & hopefully u can warm up a bit!!! i’m good i literally just woke up, my sleep schedule is so bad it’s literally turning 1pm for me

[night kraken]

Sounds just as bad as my sleep schedule lol. I am trying to warm up, got the heater going and everything

[warm plover]

i woke up at like 11 today haha
im usually worse

[iron crescent]

oi

[night kraken]

I woke up around 2 or 3 pm I think? Can't recall the exact time

[coarse portal]

8am for me D: I dont even have an alarm to set

[night kraken]

You must have a great internal clock

[coarse portal]

the last few months it decided to switch from 10am to 8am tho. I probably get woken up by the sun light getting into my room

[night kraken]

That makes sense. Hopefully you get enough sleep despite that

[coarse portal]

5-6 hours 😅 I prefer 8+

[night kraken]

Wow. Yeah 8+ is a must imo. How are you functioning with that little sleep lol

[coarse portal]

not?

[night kraken]

That's rough

[coarse portal]

Eh, I'm lucky enough to be able to plan in my own hours so I can accommodate for it.

[night kraken]

That works I suppose

[warm plover]

that sucks D:

[regal swallow]

A beautiful day!

[warm plover]

there are so many married people in this server...

I guess this is where everyone that's not a Typical Gamer™️ ends up

[night kraken]

Good morning/evening 👋

[night kraken]

Well it is the most wholesome place you could find I feel

[regal swallow]

It neither matters if its morning nor evening there's adventure in front of us all Pals!

I wonder if paint will be manually changed with a paintbrush tool

[coarse portal]

paint?

[regal swallow]

Yeah theres dyes I think from the alchemy

[sinful ether]

Morning all! Have we determined if there's more than one "village"? All of the characters we're being introduced to seem to be "from the village" so, are we all sharing the same place? or will there be multiple villages to live and work in around the world?

[regal swallow]

Theres the start village and Bahari Town

[safe fern]

Tamala lives in Bahari Bay

[regal swallow]

Then we have yet to meet a Duchess

[warm plover]

We only know of two settlements atm, with a third being hinted at with the Duchess' existence

[regal swallow]

Anastasia did a whole "compass" the start village is in the shape of a triangle and believed Bahari Town is East of the Start Village. The house we might get is Northeast from Start Village

[sinful ether]

Ok thanks... I have to remember to keep my hype in check until we know more for certain... They may or may not be building the game I built in my head 😉

[regal swallow]

The inn is on the right when coming from the southwest corner of the Start Village

There are arches of different sizes in the concept arts

Then theres is an orb like thing in each of the known community areas

[sinful ether]

I am at least hoping there is more than one location for our housing... so we don't all end up running to the same area, etc. I am anxious to find out more!

[regal swallow]

Only in Prealpha. Lots more to build!

[wintry atlas]

Certainly will be interesting to see how much game focus is supposed to be on your house vs. doing things ingame / in the community.

[midnight mantle]

I’m extremely excited to see how everything is done. Been looking for a game like this since… well. The Sims Online over a decade+ ago.

[granite pagoda]

Good morning neighbors! How are we all doing this morning?

[coarse portal]

morning

[celest maple]

cold! but happy its my weekend now. sleep is immanent

[merry socket]

Morning how was the stream yesterday?

[coarse portal]

It was fun, if you missed it check the Pins for a VOD

[warm plover]

Morning! it was good :) the video is still pinned if you want

[merry socket]

I’ll probably watch the vod later

[granite pagoda]

Yeah, I had to watch the vod as well, but it was nice to see the art

[warm plover]

And Nel's whiteboard skills

[static mango]

[main saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-private-from-penguins-of-madagascar-hi-wave-hey-there-gif-16043627

[static mango]

I wonder if u can steal eshe from the mayor

[warm plover]

doubt

[night kraken]

Or the mayor from eshe if you're so inclined

[warm plover]

im betting the ages are split into child, adult and elder
anyone thats not an adult is immediately disqualified
well, thats my theory

[night kraken]

That would make sense

[coarse portal]

there is also Young Adult

[night kraken]

Ohh really? I think I missed that

[coarse portal]

Jina

[brittle halo]

damn, so much for my plan to flirt with the gilfs and Einar

[warm plover]

oh i didnt notice that either

[night kraken]

Ahh right

[warm plover]

well its always possible
i know some older people are here after all

[rapid hound]

I'm hoping to get chosen for prealpha

I wanna help so bad

[warm plover]

uhm... i wonder if i should write an introduction...

[wild niche]

When you add the Japwnese bit Rin?

[warm plover]

Uhm... today or yesterday I think. I forgot

[wild niche]

Ah, nice

[warm plover]

It just says "I'm learning Japanese"

[regal swallow]

I still have my introduction wave streak

[wild niche]

Yeah I know lol, was just wondering when it got added

[warm plover]

I had it for a while shrew 😔

[wild niche]

I wonder how many people have actually made Introductions, and how many people read or look at them

[warm plover]

I look at pretty much all of them

When theres a new one i add a wave

[night kraken]

I try to, but I forget too quickly

[warm plover]

So do I ahaha
but i still read it so it counts

if nothing else it helps me get a general idea of the demographic, which is currently looking to be "literally everyone except children and male teens"

not counting myself

[soft elk]

I'm hoping for Jungle and something like the pacific northwest, maybe an artic

[regal swallow]

I read before giving reactions. I have been giving out reactions to each one since the 7th this month

[warm plover]

i miss a few if theres a big batch i cant keep up with

[crystal topaz]

With twice as many he than she there has to be a few male teens in here.

[wild niche]

Interesting, don't know for the introductions since I haven't spent a lot of time in there but I've seen a bunch of younger male teenagers in here.

[warm plover]

Maybe, but probably not many

Really? i only know of... myself

[somber quest]

Biomes would be really fun! I always look forward to seeing how games handle seasons.

[regal swallow]

I see the game being very diverse in genders due to the type of beautiful togetherness the game appeals

[soft elk]

Though some sort of Ranger/driud ability to tame pets/mounts wold be premium, and then build enclosures on your property to hold them

[warm plover]

nb villager when

when will we meet an old pair of wives or husbands

and this is important
i want noone to bat an eyelid when talking about them

it's just completely normal for there to be a gay couple and noone cares. if they say anything its like "oh granny biscuitraisins made me a pie yesterday!" or "i heard old man Jefferson pranked the the mayor!"

[lone crane]

[somber quest]

Would be nice. Would be more nice if more than one queer couple existed in game. But not sure how many NPC’s will be milling about.

[regal swallow]

A good batch I suppose

[bold yarrow]

is this going to allow us to romance NPCs like in other games of similar vein?

[lethal hawk]

My headcanon is skinny pale glasses-vest is nonbinary

[warm plover]

the cannon on your head

[lethal hawk]

Yes that one

[brittle halo]

seeing some heavy queer rep would be pretty rad

[bold yarrow]

yeah that would be nice

[worldly lily]

Morning all 🙂 slight delay in work today for file backups so I have goofing off time 🙂

[thorny dune]

Goofing off time

[wild niche]

Goof off time is always a plus

[worldly lily]

yes and actually getting paid for it 😉

[wild niche]

Even better

[finite sparrow]

Good morning Palians!

[worldly lily]

Morning BBZ 🙂

[brittle halo]

meowdy

[warm plover]

[wild niche]

Is it just me or is the back of Einar's head in that gif really long

[finite sparrow]

Got a bit of time before work. Might hop on valheim and continue base building lol.

[warm plover]

Well he has 3x the size of not-his-face as he does his face

[wild niche]

True enough

[worldly lily]

anything new happen since last night?

[brittle halo]

it's kinda hard to eyeball the diameter of a sphere from a 2D shape, but it seems to work if you count the face vs non-face time

[somber quest]

I was just considering the same. Lol. Watched a building video on YT this morning and am feeling inspired

[wild niche]

so Rin, 日本語はどれぐらい話せますか

[worldly lily]

digs of google translation

んん・・・それは・・・

On and off for a few years, but I don't formally study

Literally no idea how to say that in JP

[wild niche]

Ah I see, fair enough

[worldly lily]

여기서 한국어도 할 수 있나요?

[somber quest]

I worked to learn hiragana and katakana a while back and then… I got busy with moving and got out of the habit. Now I forgot it all. 😞

[warm plover]

Annyeonhaseyo Myung-nim

[wild niche]

I've only been studying for maybe 6-ish months but I've been trying to do it daily lol

[warm plover]

Sorry, I don't know any more than that

[wispy wyvern]

reads

Yes... I uh... also have a love of the tomatoes and to enjoy the walk in a beach

[keen aspen]

what was that with english only XD

[final rose]

right rule 6

[warm plover]

(/ω＼)

[regal swallow]

I was going to say something but then my brain went. Language looks pretty

[wild niche]

I mean I think if we're just having a little chat we'd be okay, not going way off talking about Japanese

[worldly lily]

An-Ya-Ha-Sayo 🙂

[final rose]

but this is Palia chat 🙂

[warm plover]

Anyahasayo

[frail briar]

Hiragana looks so relaxing and then BAM Kanji

[worldly lily]

Hanguk-Mal-Adio?

[keen aspen]

thing is, other people were told off for just one question in another language, it would be unfair towards them, you know?

[wild niche]

Some kanji is really nice and easy but some are just pure awful

That's fair, but a little bit much to get told off for a single question imo

[keen aspen]

well "told off"

[warm plover]

<-- barely remembers the kanji he chose for his own handle

[keen aspen]

they got reminded about english only

[wild niche]

Lmao what Kanji did you use Rin?

[celest maple]

Hello all and good morrow

[worldly lily]

I am typing in Korenglish is that close enough LOL

[warm plover]

思う is "to think", omou

[somber quest]

If you wanna be picky if says primarily English for conversations. So a bit here and there is probably fine.

[frail briar]

My wanikani is resurfacing

[wild niche]

Oh that's your handle/name?

[warm plover]

Sorry

[final rose]

^so much that

[wild niche]

I think we'd have less of this Off Topic issue if we had more stuff to talk about Re Palia lol

[somber quest]

I forgot there’s an off topic room.

[frail briar]

Bold statement 👀

[worldly lily]

I think this chat went off topic after the first three days and still not got totally back on track LOL

[keen aspen]

im not being picky, i just think its unfair towards other people who cant even speak english very well and who got reminded about that.

[regal swallow]

.... okay do you think we will able to dye our pets?

[timid crypt]

Yes indeed

[wild niche]

I mean objectively we know very little at this point for getting close to 3 weeks of community lol

[somber quest]

That’s understandable.

[worldly lily]

if we stay totally on topic this is gonna be an awfully quiet channel

[formal lynx]

but thats what #💬│off-topic-chat is for. for non palia related stuff

[regal swallow]

Pet decorations?

[somber quest]

I feel like when I peek in here time to time it’s usually talking or speculating about Palia.

[warm plover]

Sorry

[final rose]

same

[formal lynx]

i hope we can multi-dye our hair tbh. like black with red tips.

[echo jasper]

Eh? There's some random stuff in here alot

[warm plover]

I didn't want to talk that much in Japanese for what it's worth

[brittle lance]

Heey everyone. You all having a nice day? 😄

[somber quest]

That would be cool.

[worldly lily]

well if we are getting serious here I guess I will go get coffee and back to work see if later its not so serious have fun on topic laters

[warm plover]

I want a cute cat

[celest maple]

some one call?

[final rose]

lol better to moderate ourselves than have an official mod step in

[warm plover]

Yeah, sorry >.> I feel bad now

[brittle halo]

it is what it is, yknow?

[warm plover]

damn it really do be

[celest maple]

do you think there will be poo in palia?

for hunting or alchemy

[warm plover]

👌

[warm plover]

I would really rather there wasn't, if I could help it...

[final rose]

I'm curious to learn more about fishing in Palia. I've fished in every game I've played that had it

[celest maple]

i want to collect cute lil poos

[final rose]

I've had enough poo quests in WoW, thankyouverymuch

[plush otter]

That sounds so cute

[final rose]

tracking paw prints would be cool

[regal swallow]

Heard the fishing mechanic be a bit easier than Stardew

[brittle halo]

dedicated fishing system, including seasonal breeds, different baits, and dependence on certain materials for the different parts of the rod

[echo jasper]

I need some palia lore.. give me something to read while I slack off... I mean work..

[formal lynx]

i hope we can afk fish tho

"yo what'd ya do in palia?"
"oh i built my house, tamed a pet and explored"
"and you jules?"
"i was afk fishing for 18 hours."
"...what?"
"yeah i got a super rare rainbow fish too."

[rancid gate]

Me too ..afk fishing used to be really social. Active fishing requires too much attention to also sit and chill and chat with other folks nearby

[wild niche]

I don't want afk fishing to be a big thing but afk farming would be something potentially important, will be interesting to see what kind of balance they strike between afk-able and intractable activities

[rancid gate]

I like to be accomplishing things. I would be fine with afk fishing taking longer and getting less (quality and quantity)...I just don't want to have to stand around doing nothing if I'm trying to be social.

[formal lynx]

i like afk fishing, as it doesnt require me to stare at a hook for the entire time. i used to enjoy afk fishing in different games. normally i chatted with others or traded

[warm plover]

yall think poop is cute? ...yall ok?

[plush otter]

LOL

[keen aspen]

mhm, but afk stuff will lead to people have their pc on the whole night

[rancid gate]

Fishing while chatting with folks was a thing for a lot of older games.

[echo jasper]

Fishing was always my least favorite thing in any mmo I've played

[formal lynx]

honestly thats their problem, not mine. if they wanna waste electricity on that, its not my bill.

[rancid gate]

Leaving your pc on is a invidual person thing. If you lower the yields and only let them catch common fish, it means that active fishing is still going to dominate the market and be the most useful for cooks.

[final rose]

possibly both, something like setting lobster traps to check the next day and then a fishing rod for when you just want to chill by the water

[wild niche]

I thought it was more so about hampering the social aspect. Wouldn't be a very great social game if everyone around you is afk-ing

[coarse portal]

My two week uptime was ruined by an update :( now its at 2 days

[keen aspen]

but wouldnt that indirectly lead to unbalanced economy, as those people will just hoard materials and stuff?

[formal lynx]

ngl i hope cooking is interactive tho. like with some sorta slow qte to make the food better

[rancid gate]

Afk fishing will ahve some blank people sitting there, but a lot of people will use it as a chance to chill and chat too.

[brittle halo]

let me wrestle the king of fish for the crown

[formal lynx]

cant the same be achieved by macros or bots?

[wild niche]

I mean yeah, but they can catch that kind of stuff Jules

[rancid gate]

I'd be more worried about macros and bots ruining the economy than a low yield low quality version of afk fishing.

[keen aspen]

probably, but i dont use macros or bots

so no clue how exactly that works

[wild niche]

That's also not something that's included with the game, that's something that players would have to choose to use at the risk of bans or something potentially

[final rose]

this right there

[formal lynx]

i do agree that afk'ing stuff should be slower and thus give you less money in the long run.

like cmon while im learning for school or doing a presentation i wanna afk fish so i can at least pretend to be productive

[rancid gate]

Ex: you can catch trout and minnows. That's it. Both can be used for mid grad bait and low end cooking, but anyone who wants salmon for say poached salmon au poivre is going to need to actually participate actively to get a salmon.

[plush otter]

Well devs will have the last words so

[formal lynx]

i mean i'll be fine with either. i just think afking in games is pretty cool.

[rancid gate]

Afking for common and needed basic ingredients should be fine. Assuming that there is such a thing in the crafting.

It also helps ease people in with something easy to start with that they can still do with no skill.

[final rose]

the game isn't even in a testing phase yet and we already have to worry about bots 😦

[plush otter]

I feel like they wouldn't make gathering or fishing hard or tiring, so dunnow if they will make the afk thingy

[rancid gate]

We always have to worry about bots.

[final rose]

I know, I just don't like it

[rancid gate]

Honestly worrying about bots this early is a good sign..it means we all know it's going to popular enough to attract them 😛

[patent dust]

from what theyve said about fishing its kind of interactive like stardew valley, but with less of a difficulty curve so you wont struggle at lower levels

[plush otter]

Yeah!

[formal lynx]

ngl stardew valleys fishing is absolutely insane.

[patent dust]

i personally never had a problem with sdv fishing

[rancid gate]

I'm a big fan of the "don't like it? Don't use it" philosophy. I want Palia to be accessible to as many people as possible.

[formal lynx]

why the hell can the fish suddenly go up then down and then up again? is this fish a freaking car?

[brittle halo]

it's fun imo, not too challenging but also fun enough to keep it interesting

[patent dust]

i mean irl fishing its basically the same as reeling in and letting it drag a bit

thats what the up and down mechanic represents really

[formal lynx]

yeah, but the fishing isnt easy imo. i only fished fo the tutorial and nothing more.

the best fishing imo is sea of thieves, but tbh in palia i can also live with something as similar as the animal corssing approach
"oh the fish bit the bait! press E!"

[patent dust]

theyre avoiding the 'cast and rng' aspect

[coarse portal]

I expect it to have some depth if they have a fishing skill. Basic cast and throw rng is so Runescape 2007

[warm plover]

yeah they mentioned they want to avoid that

[formal lynx]

hope it isnt too annoying then.

[coarse portal]

A 5 button QTA every time you catch a fish :D

[formal lynx]

im not really excited to fish and then wait 5min until the fish goes pop outta the water. had that in a different mmo, never fished after that.

[final rose]

ohnononno

[patent dust]

i think it worked well in runescape because at that time there were many other active things, so fishing was kind of the relaxing thing where you could empty your head

[brittle halo]

ideally have it really super stylised and overly dramatic, especially when it's a tiny fish

[formal lynx]

"ohh fellas im catching a shark!"
15 minutes later
"You got a trout!"

[shut shore]

The fishing in Stardew gets much easier as you add gear. I like how the fish types that are catchable tie to seasonality and time of day in Stardew.

And weather

[warm plover]

there are fish you can only catch once, right? that kinda stresses me out 💦

[rancid gate]

I just want some brainless afk ish thing so if parents want to play with kids or so people who have injured hands can also come, play and enjoy the game with us.

[formal lynx]

i hope we can build snowmen in the winter. or igloos. or yeet snowballs.

doin' a 360 noscope trickshot then

[patent dust]

nah there will be other chances to catch fish

[coarse portal]

So, looking at Zeki. Do they have two pair of ears or are those horns?

[patent dust]

theyre ears

[coarse portal]

4 ears?!

[formal lynx]

looks like ears

[rancid gate]

yup

[formal lynx]

kinda reminds me of a biblical angel with tons of wings.

just that this is a grimalkin

[loud lotus]

morning all!!

or happy time zone!

[coarse portal]

Afternoon!

[warm plover]

Happy timezone!

WAIT I ONLY JUST SAW HIS FOUR EARS WHAT

[wild niche]

Would be a funny Discord feature to be able to send a message out like "good morning" and have it picked up and converted to the viewer's timezone. So someone says "good morning" from EST and someone in CET sees it as "good afternoon"

[mossy hull]

Good morning everyone!

[wild niche]

Would immediately fall apart if it catches the wrong messages but fun nonetheless

[faint dawn]

@warm plover shh he will hear you... not even a whisper..

[brittle halo]

[loud lotus]

[quasi topaz]

Good afternoon

[coarse portal]

Would "beings" be a good word to describe Grimalkin? Trying to word this sentence:

They are cat-like beings with two pair of ears.

[tough orchid]

Anyone else geeking out on Woah's new pfp

[warm plover]

I would say "they are a cat-like race"

though i dont have any experience writing wikis or anything

[rancid gate]

grimalkin refers specifically to feline like or cats specifically so...yes. definitely cat like.

[formal lynx]

i think beings is ok.

race for me in the context of mmos always kinda implied that they are playable

[coarse portal]

Trying to figure out the best tone for the wiki for that kind of stuff. Not entirely familiar with MMOs or wiki editing so I'm going in blind here

[warm plover]

Ah, race does have that connotation...

[brittle halo]

maybe feline folk if you want some alliteration?

[warm plover]

Oh, actually, the word used by the devs is 'culture'

[coarse portal]

Got this now:

Grimalkin are a cat-like race in the world of Palia. A distinctive feature of the Grimalkin is having two pairs of ears. They have a tail and their hands have retractable claws.

pretty simple, there's not much to go on atm bises Zeki's concept art.

[warm plover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850062378926473227/854397034877157436/Zeki-Meet-the-Villager-Twitter.jpg

"Grimalkin are/is a cat-like culture with four ears..."

[coarse portal]

wiki uses Race for everything atm.

[brittle lance]

Just the type of creature to be part of an underground organisation

[lyric ether]

you only think he has four ears, he is clearly wearing some fake cat ears to make fun of the silly humans. Those ears are obviously attached to the band of his eyepatch.

[brittle lance]

"Close with the chef at the inn" and "Sometimes peddle questionable goods"
Those two traits together worries me about the food at the inn 😅

[warm plover]

cat ear headbands are canon now i guess

[lyric ether]

oh you know if they was, everyone would wear them

[thorny dune]

Cat ear headbands are a cosmetic in like 90% of online games at this point

[brittle lance]

I guess that depend on the kind of games you play. Because I rarely see it

[onyx python]

i cant wait to meet him 😩

[warm plover]

I think culture is a good word to use honestly

[rancid gate]

Pretty sure in some of the other pictures that have been shown of him the ears move according to expression...so they're not just a headband.

yeah, they're real ears. The twitter account has pics of him as sketches.

[lyric ether]

If game gets popular enough to host it's own convention, One of the devs gonna have to wear a Zeki suit and greet people at the door.

[warm plover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850062378926473227/854470268696133652/Zeki_Expressions_wm.jpg

[thorny dune]

In what context? 🤔

[warm plover]

oh, just to replace Race completely

ctrl f replace

[thorny dune]

Fair enough 🙂

[coarse portal]

Zeki's Culture is Grimalkin and Einar's is Golem

[brittle lance]

Why not make a real one... We have the technology 😛

[warm plover]

a good use of the technology

[buoyant heath]

Morning, kids

[brittle lance]

Morning, old guy 😂

[buoyant heath]

Accurate

[warm plover]

Dad? Did you get the milk you were going out to buy?

It's been years

[lyric ether]

Oh lord no.... I can see it now they can make little Furbie things that look like Zeki. I feel like Mechanical Zeki Plush's would be a big sell to this community.

[brittle lance]

You might be younger than me tho 😛

[harsh herald]

Good morning Palians 😇

[echo jasper]

Zenki's character art gives me Marcus vibes from borderlands and I don't know why but I could just totally hear him saying "no refunds"

[buoyant heath]

Depends on if you were allowed to stay up to watch Quantum Leap or not

[final rose]

ooo me me!

[warm plover]

good hunting, stalker

[brittle lance]

I was. But I don't think I understood much

[wispy wyvern]

Well now I have to binge watch all of that again.

[woven reef]

I wonder if it holds up

[wild niche]

I'm way too young for Quantum Leap lol, my late nights were Robot Chicken and NGE

[harsh herald]

Chapaa advisor

#drawchapaa

[buoyant heath]

I'm going to say that some of Al's jokes aren't going to hold up, especially the womanizer ones, and that their takes on race and things like that might seem a little heavy handed. But it still has such a good heart and a simple concept that works over and over again.

[wispy wyvern]

In it's defence though it did a good job of challenging some very tough subjects.

[buoyant heath]

100% agree with this statement

[rancid gate]

It was surprisingly ahead of it's time when it came to social issues.

[wispy wyvern]

I now want a Scott Bakula character in Palia.

[woven reef]

Scott Bakeula working in the kitchen

[vague axle]

Just watched the vod for the stream. So inspiring seeing people ao passionate about the project they are working on. Definitely gives me hope for this game.

[wispy wyvern]

Infact he could be anyone... we'll never know...

[buoyant heath]

"Yeah, I'm on this discord for a really cute Animal Crossing style MMO" "Yeah, what do y'all talk about?" "Mostly 80s family sci-fi shows"

[wispy wyvern]

It's where I got my moral upbringing.

[warm plover]

Yknow, the normal thing to talk about with other old people
<-- cant relate, doesnt know what's going on

One day I'm going to walk in here and see yall sharing cute kid stories and it'll be great

[rancid gate]

Can I do cute cat stories? No kids here.

[wispy wyvern]

Quantum Leap, the Death of Optimus Prime (circa 1986) and The Neverending Story have a lot to answer for.

[undone mist]

Man I loved quantum leap. A few episodes actually really pushed the norm back then

[dusk portal]

Neverending story you say?

[undone mist]

Also good morning palian people

[buoyant heath]

Morning @warm plover !!

[wispy wyvern]

Right, you and me outside...

[warm plover]

Eh, no, i was talking to Jahnri, it's 10 PM here lol

[buoyant heath]

I deserve it

[warm plover]

I'm just going to say happy timezone

[dusk portal]

I'm getting flashbacks to all these old movies, thanks guys

[wispy wyvern]

No I just want us to go outside with some tissues so the others dont see us ugly crying

[buoyant heath]

Evening @warm plover !!

[undone mist]

Welp off to the mechanic one more time to fix more on the car take care all

[dusk portal]

Indian in the cupboard.

[warm plover]

Yeah that works

Happy timezone Dad

[buoyant heath]

I was talking last night about great 80s movies to show my kids

[thorny dune]

Most older movies / shows aged too poorly for me to sit through these days

[rancid gate]

For me if you're going to watch epic fantasy movies, the ones I listed are where you always start.

[wispy wyvern]

When you think about it a lot of the designers, creators, writers, artists will have grown up on these movies/shows and stories. And it really shows some times.

[static whale]

Good morning everyone. Happy Friday.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend

[brisk thicket]

Morning!! I hope everyone is swell ☺

[wispy wyvern]

Mornin!

[cinder comet]

Good morning.

[runic whale]

🍞

[brisk thicket]

Uhhhh my sleep schedule is sooo bad!!

I can't even get 5 hours of sleep properly 😭

[coarse portal]

Join the team 😫

[severe gorge]

peasants cant get 5 hours of sleep? watch as i have a routine sleep schedule of 7 hrs! bed by 7:30-8:30pm and wake up at 3:30 or 4:30am

[brisk thicket]

I only sleep at the afternoon so I messed up my sleep 🥲

[rancid gate]

Silly people. Think of it this way: the worse insomnia you have the more time you have to stalk palia and eventually play it 😛

[mossy hull]

big brain thinking

[brisk thicket]

I got 1 hour of sleep

[mossy hull]

I sleep too much as of right now

[brisk thicket]

The days are blurring together 🥲🥲

[warm plover]

oh dear

That doesn't sound good...

[brisk thicket]

It isn't good

[warm plover]

😰

[brisk thicket]

Headaches are painful my dudes

[warm plover]

Oh man I know I've got a pretty bad one, it's giving me brain tingles

[brisk thicket]

Yikes

It makes me big sad

[warm plover]

It's a side effect of stopping my medication so it's to be expected though
Why are yours happening?

[brisk thicket]

I get less than 3 hours of sleep

[warm plover]

Ah
I didn't know if your headaches were causing the insomnia or the other way around...

[thorny dune]

drink water, workout, eat properly, see doctor

[brisk thicket]

It's the lack of sleep guys

I'm fine

[warm plover]

Still sucks

[rancid gate]

Depends on the type of insomnia. Some literally need meds for them-chronic acute insomnia is a pain

[brisk thicket]

It's gone now I rarely have it but it's there

[lean hornet]

Let's go without sleep until we release Palia

[rancid gate]

LOL

[brisk thicket]

Oop

[regal swallow]

Sleepover!!

[warm plover]

I'm watching the Palia trailer again...

https://youtu.be/lP009fvbt8c
It looks so cozy I can't get over it

I get tingles when I see the "Welcome Home" pop up on screen

[brisk thicket]

I dream to be able to run around palia like the weirdo I am 😢

[onyx python]

SAAAAAAMEEEEEE

[onyx python]

YYEEAAAHHHH

[warm plover]

If you're weird all of us are weird haha I also want to run around Palia

[magic helm]

Greetings!

[brisk thicket]

I'd run in circles as I think of what to do

[warm plover]

Hey!

[thorny dune]

I just wanna fish with the golems

[onyx python]

i cant type in #851872239435644928 but i wanted to ask if they'll have any festive events i.e Halloween event where all of the NPCs dress up in different outfits or Christmas event where snow has covered the map. Something like that ???

[brisk thicket]

Salutations!

[onyx python]

i think its a fantastic idea

[thorny dune]

Might have to catch that section when they open it up again

[static mango]

theres the shimmerfly festival

[thorny dune]

They're preparing for the next Q&A post I think

[warm plover]

Ah, the channel is read-only at the moment while Nel (community manager) goes through them to pick questions to answer

It probably won't open until the results of the last questions are posted

[magic helm]

Seasonal/Holiday are always fun.

[lean hornet]

I just wanted one more trailer to come out...

[buoyant heath]

I am also Read Only at the moment

[warm plover]

Someday™️

[brisk thicket]

One day...

[warm plover]

Tomorrow if my headache is better I can start recording my Palia trailer thing

[brisk thicket]

Ohhh fun

[magic helm]

Soon™

[brisk thicket]

And I wish you the best of luck

[warm plover]

I realised that the trailer characters also use a nonsense language so it really works with my idea to sing in a language that doesn't mean anything 🙂

[buoyant heath]

Headache is still around, @warm plover ?

[warm plover]

Unfortunately

[buoyant heath]

Sorry to hear that

[warm plover]

Sorry that I keep complaining about it

[buoyant heath]

If we can't complain about persistent headaches, what can we complain about?

[brisk thicket]

Oh no worries! It's better to not bottle things up. Also if your not talking to me I severely apologize for bothering you 😅

[warm plover]

Oh, it's no problem, Mother
....i dont know how to shorten your name. am i going to have a mom and a dad in here?

[onyx python]

i love how you can decorate your house with anything you want

[warm plover]

Mom and Dad (unrelated)

[brisk thicket]

Oh you can call me Tam or pearl

[rancid gate]

I vote for Animom 😛

[harsh herald]

rin straight up being adopted rn 😂

[brisk thicket]

Tam is short of ThatAnimeMother

[warm plover]

Ah, okay!

[rancid gate]

lol

[harsh herald]

aww let him call you mother!

🥺

[brisk thicket]

Mother or mom is perfectly fine to

[onyx python]

also i love the trailer so much because the music sounds like Disneyland music

[warm plover]

Should I introduce myself? i probably should... uh

[brisk thicket]

If you want to. No need to force yourself

[tranquil cosmos]

Morning~

[warm plover]

I'm Rin and I'm a little neurodivergent (and a lot stupid) so if you see me do anything dumb. Uh. Tell me off like I'm a child (or a dog)
I'm 19 years old and I love in Australia. Why do I sound so formal

Happy timezone Otter

[brisk thicket]

Oh that's a great introduction

[night kraken]

Introductions should be a little bit formal I feel. They seem better that way

[brisk thicket]

By the by I'm 14 and about to be 15 but I can be really motherly and weird most of the time

Just a heads up

[rancid gate]

@brisk thicket that makes it even better XD

[warm plover]

Honestly I thought you were an actual mother
Given the amount of other parents in this discord, it wouldnt have really surprised me at this point

After all, DadJokes is an actual dad I think...

[rancid gate]

Honestly, when I was 19 I took in (and had guardianship over the summer) for a 16 year old... 😛

[brisk thicket]

Reason I put mother in my username 😁

[rancid gate]

sometimes being a "mom" isn't an age thing

[brisk thicket]

Indeed 🥰

[warm plover]

it's a "i will stop this child from eating crayons" thing

[granite pagoda]

Maybe I should do a more formal introduction at one point hahaha

[rancid gate]

Or "I will stop this adult from acting like a three year old in public" thing.

[buoyant heath]

Nice to meet everyone, formally.

[brisk thicket]

I like being a mother figure. It feels nice to be there for people and support them 😌

[rancid gate]

It does 🙂

[granite pagoda]

Sounds like me on the daily tbh lol

[acoustic grove]

Suuuuuuup

[warm plover]

I'll go put my introduction in the introduction channel like a normal person

[brisk thicket]

You go do that then!

[warm plover]

social anxiety is seeing someone else typing in the introductions channel and going "god i cant type there someone else is there it would be rude"

[brisk thicket]

Ahhh i feel youuu

[tranquil cosmos]

I never did an introduction either

[brisk thicket]

Ohhh noooo

[mossy hull]

There were 2 others typing in introductions when I was typing lol

[thorny dune]

I forgot there was an introductions section

[warm plover]

A N X I E T Y

[brisk thicket]

We were supposed to be chatting at #💬│off-topic-chat 😭

[tranquil cosmos]

Oops

[keen basin]

I wonder if you can introduce yourselves in Palia. (There, now it's relevant.)

[brisk thicket]

It would be nice if we had those profiles for our characters with our descriptions in it

[granite pagoda]

Would be nice to have like a profile card or something where you can give a little friendly greeting to others, unless you're me. "Here's my business card"

[brisk thicket]

Like click the username and boom a description box about the person

[mossy hull]

That would be super cute Kalan :)

[granite pagoda]

No u

[keen basin]

That would be pretty neat actually

[warm plover]

Oh yeah theyd be like discord statuses kinda

[rancid gate]

CoH had a page you could write a small background that others could see if they inspected you. so having a small background on a tradeable card shouldn't be hard.

[warm plover]

You just click on em and you get a little "Hiii I'm Rin :D"

[rancid gate]

I mean, you could even write books in some other MMOs.

[warm plover]

Someone: clicks on me
My profile: why are you looking at me like that

[brisk thicket]

Ohhh! It would be soo cute if we click on a person with a greeting action where we give them a card that we customize with our descriptions in it to the other player!!

[rancid gate]

Heck people could design them for others like we do IRL.

[echo jasper]

Mine would just say "I'm a potato" or something stupid because when I write those descriptions things I can never think of anything good

[tranquil cosmos]

Like the passport in Animal Crossing

[rancid gate]

I always feel super arrogant typing in a background story online. 😦

[echo jasper]

Then I think of something good later but am too lazy to edit

[warm plover]

I hope you're doing alright because I'M a potato

[brisk thicket]

I would love it if we can have a book that we can customize and we can do reports on it like a diary of the game day!

[regal swallow]

Greetings and ...

[warm plover]

This would genuinely be cute

[tranquil cosmos]

Potatoes are versatile and delicious

[rancid gate]

Just having it so people could write books is great. the few places I've played where they did, people would collect or swap them.

[warm plover]

Maybe the friendslist is stylised as a kind of diary or journal

[regal swallow]

Shrew the Storyteller

[warm plover]

There'd need to be a report system on that and some moderators since some people would write some less than stellar things in their books

[keen basin]

Dear diary, I adopted another chapaa today. His name is Henry.

[granite pagoda]

Dear Diary:

A Chapaa stole my shoe, and ran off with it. I'm going to rally up the Chuu army to take back what is rightfully mine.

[brisk thicket]

I cracked my neck and it was ✨ crunchy ✨

[keen basin]

I'm sorry for Henry's behavior, Kalan

[rancid gate]

Hehe Now I'm thinking of a friendlist some people have a contact list: Dkonen: does too many side quests, never finishes anything

[brisk thicket]

I love that!

[echo jasper]

Dear diary: I set off to go to the lake, but along the way I got distracted by some pretty flowers.

[granite pagoda]

hahaha

[brisk thicket]

Dear diary , I can't find my diary so I'm writing this on both of my Kung fu panda DVD cases

[rancid gate]

yeah, but I think with this community it would be somewhat uncommon until the game explodes. Also trolls tend to leave games like Palia pretty quick. They come in to cause trouble, get bored and leave.

[echo jasper]

Dear diary, I came across some cute creatures and now I have a house full of pets

[rancid gate]

Dear Diary, I am sorry I have nowhere to put you since I'm such a hoarder, you live in the laundry basket now, since my laundry is on the floor being slept on by my cat.

[echo jasper]

Dear diary, I found more. I think this many animals may be classified as 'running a zoo'

[granite pagoda]

Yeah, with any text field in a game or customizable part, you'll have that one person or one group that wants to ruin it for everybody else, so i'm sure they'll have some form of reporting, given this game will be mainly an online experience afaik

[warm plover]

True

[brisk thicket]

It would be intresting if you do household chores in palia like laundry and cleaning but I highly doubt it

[echo jasper]

Oof no chores please

[warm plover]

Dammit I remember this bit but I can't remember what it was from!!!

[rancid gate]

A report function is pretty SOP for any game.

[tranquil cosmos]

I hope there are a lot of little tasks to keep people busy

[brisk thicket]

Ya know to much work

[rancid gate]

You know, some people consider feeding and grooming animals and weeding gardens to be chores too, right? 😛

[warm plover]

SOP = Standard Operating Procedure?

[rancid gate]

Yup

[brisk thicket]

Say hi vine!
Hi vine~
Screen vine bitz!!

[granite pagoda]

me tbh

especially the weeding gardens part

[rancid gate]

Yeah I have no RL garden. I did all my weeding when I was a kid.

[brisk thicket]

That's would be great!! Something to keep me busy and to feed my procrastination on mineing

[warm plover]

I'm losing my wave streak cause im not gonna wave at myself

[brisk thicket]

?

[warm plover]

I've waved at everyone recently haha

In the introductions channel

[brisk thicket]

Ahh I see

That's nice ☺

[warm plover]

I'm usually the first or second person
If you see one with the white hand I was second usually

Yellow hand means I was first

[brisk thicket]

Ohh nice!

[granite pagoda]

Listen, all I want in my dream of Palia

[warm plover]

why am i fixating on this

[granite pagoda]

Is VR Support

[vital vault]

What's up guys! XD

[warm plover]

👋

[brisk thicket]

Was there a stream on the gameplay for palia?

[warm plover]

No, there wasn't

[brisk thicket]

Oh...

[warm plover]

There won't be for a while, I imagine

[tranquil cosmos]

Probably not til after pre-alpha

[echo jasper]

Man I'm so excited to see game play tho

[brisk thicket]

I see. I wish there was more information about palia! I check for information on palia religiously

[keen basin]

Eventually, we'll all be paliantologists

[granite pagoda]

It was an art stream yesterday about the newly revealed character, gameplay streams are probably gonna be a ways out.

[brisk thicket]

Aww shucks...well patience is of virtue

[faint dawn]

This will take you to a mesage with the stream vod if you wanna watch. Posted by onyx-

[rancid gate]

I kinda like the pre release anticipation stuff. IT gives a great time for the community to chill, hang out and get to know eachother.

[brisk thicket]

Oh thanks

[rancid gate]

And watching it go slowly more nutty as the due dates arrive is hilarious.

(I may be baised because I have been known for bombing "is it ready yet?" memes of a variety of types 😛 )

[warm plover]

I'm already nutty

[brisk thicket]

I Believe I Can FLYYYYYY

[uncut bear]

Morning all

[warm plover]

Happy timezone Milk

[brisk thicket]

Oh salutations

[graceful plover]

Hey guys, I'm looking to do the 2nd survey but I'm can't remember which email I used when I signed up on the website

[uncut bear]

The time zone is indeed a happy one

[brisk thicket]

Oop

[graceful plover]

Is there any way to tell what email I used

[warm plover]

Ah, try going to Palia.com and clickin on the box

It might autofill with the email you used

If it doesn't, try typing the first letters of the emails you have in

[brisk thicket]

Or pray and hope for the best!

[graceful plover]

It doesn't since I'm on my phone whereas first time was on my home pc. Will the survey be up through today?

May wait till I'm home from work

[brisk thicket]

Or try typing the emails and see if any fits?

[tranquil cosmos]

Finally did my intro, hopefully it makes sense, as I've only just had some coffee x.x

[brisk thicket]

Oh wait that don't sound right

[warm plover]

Hey otter youre a mom right

[tranquil cosmos]

Yeah

[warm plover]

When am I gonna find you and the other parents on this server sharing kid stories

[tranquil cosmos]

But all my friends think I'm like a grandma lol

[brisk thicket]

I was told I gave off grandmother vibes . Because I was warm and healing

[tranquil cosmos]

I can share kid stories any time lol

I hope Palia has titles, I want a Grandma title lol

[warm plover]

See Tam this is what I'm talking about
We have so many parents here

[brisk thicket]

Indeed

[uncut bear]

Hey rin what do the characters after your name say?

[warm plover]

It says "I'm studying Japanese"

[uncut bear]

That’s a reasonable 😆

[brisk thicket]

I remember studying Russian a bit. I gave up of course

[warm plover]

I just put it there in case someone joins and wants help with something but they only know Japanese...

Well, it's very a very niche scenario

But I'm preparing anyway. It's not like it hurts me to put it there

[brisk thicket]

Sounds like a great idea 👍

[tranquil cosmos]

Translator Rin

[uncut bear]

Fair point

[warm plover]

super wonky translator rin

[brisk thicket]

Still a translator

[uncut bear]

I’d say I could do the same thing with ASL but it doesn’t really work since everything is already typed out

[warm plover]

Unfortunately 😔

Wild how ASL can stand for American Sign Language or Australian Sign Language
equally weird that they're differentiated

are they at least similar?

[carmine relic]

Good morning Krusty Krew!

[tranquil cosmos]

Krusty??

[warm plover]

We're called the what

[brisk thicket]

Salutations

[uncut bear]

There are similarities like in spoken languages but also like spoken languages they are very different

[carmine relic]

It was a dumb single line in SpongeBob and I just had to day it

[uncut bear]

Morning gambit

[tranquil cosmos]

I think I quote Spongebob at least once a day

[brisk thicket]

I remembered something

I say it's a funny memory

Wait off topic!!

[worldly lily]

Its lunch time hello again 🙂

[brisk thicket]

Oh well I'll just go now have fun everyone!! And take care of yourselves!!

[uncut bear]

Welcome back myung

[worldly lily]

any new announcements today or same ol same ol?

[strange fern]

Heyo!

[worldly lily]

wow it must be getting very dangerous here 7 mods LOL

[brittle lance]

Only if you misbehave 😛

[uncut bear]

Same ol same ol. But you never know

[worldly lily]

I always misbehave life is no fun unless you occasionally misbehave

[brittle lance]

Ohhh you sound like trouble 😝

[worldly lily]

ooops O woke a Mod up 😒

[granite pagoda]

The community has been very chill actually, we do have occasional disruptions, but overall yall are good to us, and we want you to enjoy your time here

[worldly lily]

gives Kalan cup of warm milk and a cookie go back to sleep all is OK 😉

[brittle lance]

Defiantly one of the best Discord server I have been a part of. There don't seem to be much moderation

[uncut bear]

It’s a mutual thing. Y’all are amazing and quick to stomp out disruptions

[granite pagoda]

Cookie is fine, no milk though because my body cant tolerate dairy well haha

[shrewd fiber]

what about
lactose-free milk

[uncut bear]

Awww… 🥛

[worldly lily]

OK cup of warm no caffeine green raspberry tea

[brittle lance]

No caffeine either? o.O

[empty matrix]

have all the keys been given out?

[uncut bear]

[shrewd fiber]

[worldly lily]

no keys yet

[carmine relic]

You're playing a dangerous game by not having caffeine

[empty matrix]

thank you

I saw a meme lol

and I was worried >_>

[brittle lance]

Don't trust them! 😅

[lyric ether]

people are just well behaved because they don't want to kill their chance for alpha. You know it's true.

[shrewd fiber]

yeah there'll likely be a ping

[worldly lily]

we all watching e-mail and lottery ticket for luck

[celest maple]

Hello

[uncut bear]

I don’t drink caffeine but for health reasons. Trying to shave a few pounds

[regal swallow]

Milk has Yakmoo milk

[uncut bear]

Yes I do

Want some shrew?

[worldly lily]

back to work I be back later 😉

[uncut bear]

Have fun!

[carmine relic]

Ah. Fair enough and pretty understandable

[worldly lily]

https://tenor.com/view/goodbye-gif-8910472

[brittle lance]

@uncut bear But would caffeine not help with that. By raising the "calorie burn". Don't know what it is called in English?

[carmine relic]

Caffeine is also an appetite suppressant

[cyan wagon]

when is the start of the testing?

[brittle lance]

Coffee tends to make me want to drink more coffee 😆 It's a problem!

[uncut bear]

I’m more dropping it cause all my caffeine intake was from energy drinks and I was drinking like 2-5 a day which isn’t ideal

[naive knoll]

Around a week, they are currently looking through the surveys at the moment. @cyan wagon

[carmine relic]

Man. If I had more room in me, I'd chug all the coffee I could handle!

[brittle lance]

o.O Good thing you are working on that tho! That does not sound healthy

[rancid gate]

Eeep

[regal swallow]

Yes please! and some Cereal O O's

[uncut bear]

Yeahh I felt like crap but I’m doing way better now

[rancid gate]

Coffee is pretty healthy and low calorie. Energy drinks...not so much. 😛

[rain carbon]

I understand that you guys need your Milk and Coffee. However, let's keep the channel for Palia related topics. Thank you

[uncut bear]

Anything for you shrew!
🥛 🥣
Here you go

[carmine relic]

I haven't had my cup of the stuff quite yet and I can feel all the curses and effects from the lack of it.

[regal swallow]

Thank you!

[lyric ether]

Coffee is bitter water, Tea is where the true taste is at.

[carmine relic]

Ah right. So... how about that Palia?

[hidden lynx]

Good Morning and Good Timezone everyone!! 😄

[regal swallow]

Will there be Coffee in game, for a speed boost?

[echo jasper]

Palia tea, palia coffee

[warm plover]

Uh... Palia... milk and coffee in Palia maybe? Thoughts on beverages, even completely normal ones, being under the alchemy/potionmaking skill?

[echo jasper]

Beverages would fall under cooking more I think?

[warm plover]

Right

I am Big Dumb

[wild niche]

I'd agree with that, but if the system is broad enough it might get its own subclass like brewing or something

[lyric ether]

idk, I think brewing is it's own thing. You don't typically cook a drink.

[carmine relic]

Probably be cooking, yeah

[vernal knot]

id love to run a little cafe where i can serve like coffee and tea to other players or whatever
that'd be real cute

[regal swallow]

Brewmasters?

[echo jasper]

I'm more going off the pattern of other mmos

[tranquil cosmos]

You use cooking to make drinks in Harvest Moon, so cooking seems fair

[carmine relic]

I'm gonna be a potions expert of magic isn't a thing.

[echo jasper]

Beverages usually fall under cooking traditionally in games.

[hidden lynx]

what are we talking about with drinks ? >.>

[keen basin]

Beverages also often go hand in hand with food anyway in real life

[brittle lance]

Palia barista? perhaps 😛

[regal swallow]

Beverages and cooking give buffs so we were thinking about what beverages give

[uncut bear]

cough cough the pebbledrop pint tavern cough cough

[echo jasper]

Man people are gonna be creating cute coffee houses and my place is just gonna be a random trash pit because I get distracted too easily

[brittle lance]

Beverages could give a powerfull short buff. And food and sweets a longer one.

[warm plover]

ME

[wintry atlas]

A warehouse full of chests of the finest stone and branches

[soft ginkgo]

This game looks like it'll be comfy, really excited to see how it turns out

[carmine relic]

What if food buffs are a sort of generalist applicable types (like slightly faster use speed on everything) while potions would be incredibly strong but specialized things?

[keen basin]

You can name it The Trash Pit and it will automatically be endearing as such

[warm plover]

Maybe I'll figure out how to make something pretty eventually... or I could plant a pretty tree and call it a day

[indigo plover]

Will there be mounts?

[low goblet]

Alcohol in game so my character can be a lush like me

[lyric ether]

my place will probably look like trash but be efficient to what ever craft I do.

[regal swallow]

Maybe

[echo jasper]

The half finished trash pit

[lyric ether]

looks are overrated.

[soft ginkgo]

oh POG I can get pronoun roles thank you

[warm plover]

There's a FAQ doc pinned in here 🙂

[whole crag]

beep boop

[warm plover]

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E Here

[whole crag]

[carmine relic]

Boop bap

[brittle lance]

Beep boop

[vernal knot]

if you want to go specifically for coffee, it'd probably increase player speed and how fast you can do things , ORRR
if theres a stamina system (i dont know much, lol,) it could offer an instant replenish to your stamina

[whole crag]

i punched myself in the nose

ow.

[brittle lance]

o.O

[uncut bear]

Oh there a mechanic we haven’t talked bout I don’t think. Will there be a kind of hunger bar? Like we need to eat every once in awhile or we get slower and exhausted?

[carmine relic]

Flexing and having your finest dishes on display is also a dumb plus

[lyric ether]

hopefully most objects have a functionality. having things for just looks is okay and all, but items without a function are a bit bland. I love being able to interact with everything.

[strange fern]

How are you guys doing today?

[whole crag]

i hurted

[brittle lance]

They had a stamina bar, but removed it. would a hunger bar not work the same, just slower?

[wintry atlas]

It's always hard to do hunger and thirst right though

[wild niche]

Rather than replenish a buff would be better

[hidden lynx]

WAIT there was a stream on twitch??? Was it announced ahead of time anywhere D:

[wild niche]

For a social game buffs are way better than debuffs imo

[lyric ether]

only everywhere Queen

[uncut bear]

Depending on how they do it maybe.

[brittle lance]

Yeah in #📢│palia-news

[carmine relic]

It's ok, there's a VOD for it!

[wintry atlas]

Yeah in Game-Announcements, part of the same message re. survey

[warm plover]

The vod is pinned in here 🙂

[wild niche]

Ah, it is yeah

Was just about to grab a link for it
