being attractive is so stressful... i d preffer to be like a normal being, for a introvert getting constant attention drives into anxiety and depression... if Palia will be what i think it will be it should help me with social problem. 😄
Oof, I've been calling it pah-lee-uh 😅
Lots of people were unsure about it. Don't worry.
wtf?
hello everyone, hope you're having a nice timezone 
Sometimes i misspell the word.. and i said it right first time, after i was wondering if i was right 

I pronounced it as pah-lee-uh when I first saw it too
I pronounce it Pee-ah-lee-ih-ah
Palizzle
Life
I prefer the pronounciation of pah-lee-ah honestly, but the other is ok too
I thought is was pa-lee-yah
P'Lia
It's akin to 'how do you pronounce Paladin?'
Wait whut?
I thought it was a play on pal bc you'd play the game with your pals
pal-linini-dindindin
ive never heard anyone say paladin in a weird way
Playdodin
There "pal-ah-din" and "pah-lah-din"
british ppl can say many things wrong
Depends where you pronounce the L
I also thought Pal was the emphasis, initially
"Wrong?"
i mean.. i other ways
the people who invented the language are the one saying it wrong apparently lol
bcs they re used to have a non european accent XD
we are all used to american movies and when you hear british talking you dont even know where s the exit
Different. In all fairness, Brits have a creative spin on a few words that don't make sense. But the same can be said for any language.
Lol what did I read

Text on a server in discord
Well then....
English I believe
many ppl wont say this bcs they preffer to ignore
Shhh just let it happen 
Anyhoooo Palia. How about them Chapaas


What about them chuus tho 
Give them explosives and they become Chuas
chuus are a false god
but as chuu
accept chapaa
You make me want to grow onions in Palia and sneak them under your pillow
I don't know what that means. I just thought you might like some onions.
Solid life advice: don't eat a raw onion like an apple
Why not?
cmon.. it doesnt taste that bad... at first bite..
My dad would do that with Maui sweet onions.
I do like onions
Or do, if you like that kinda stuff
mmmmmm onions...
I got half way through a raw onion and had to call it quits
Hope you guys have a nice week 
I think it depends on who's trying to snog me
Well the project at work I've been dumping overtime hours into just got put on hold, so I'm able to catch up on paperwork. So my week is off to a good start.
Wait what? 
Onions make a fabulous deterrent
Deterrent?! Onions are like the best.
My first kiss with an ex was after we both had french onion soup...
To ward off unwanted kisses
Hahaha that kind of deterrent
most people think it's garlic that keeps vampires away, but it's really just onions
French Onion Soup is delicious! I hope we can make it in the game.
yeeeessss
Might not be French, as I don't know if the denizens know about France...
Hello, beautiful people!
In Palia, France does not exist.
i guess the game will have lots of recipes..
Chapaa onion soup
Grimalkin Chilli with Elven Cornbread
Lembas bread?
Chuu Stew?
Mode of transportation in Palia: the Chuu Chuu Train
Or the Jel-icoptor
The puns are strong here, I love it.
Someone send me motivation to cook dinner.
GET TO THE CHAPAA
If you cook and eat dinner, then you can have Cake!
GET CHUU THE CHAPAA
With great dinner comes great dessert abilty
all you had to do was follow the damn chuutrain CJ!
Eyes the Keto spice cake in the fridge After lunch, you delicious food, you will be in my belly.
I might make an orange spice cake later
Oh, added orange zest to it would be a great idea! Why didn't I think on that, making a note to try it next time I make one.
Oh, it just occurred to me that we could potentially grow pumpkins in game. What if we could scoop out their innards for cooking, and carve their hollowed husks for some sort of Halloween type festival?
Multi-use ingredients
Think I'll chuck that in suggestions
Is there pen for livestock?
I would imagine that's an added feature in the game
I hope there is animals you can raise
It should be. Better marketing.
I've been reading it as "Pah-lia"
Your name says it all
So hyped!!!
The Cicadas have come to my window.
oh god i hate those things
Today, today is new
But at the same time it is old, for if you live in the present everyday is today
thank u sorynn
*pets @warm plover * Morning!
Yw
I find the noise quite comforting, so long as it's not right next to me! But it is creepy how they leave their little self-shaped skins everywhere. I hope my house in game has cicada noises playing softly in the background. Very softly.
Hiii!
Re: pronunciation if anyone needs a verbal example

When I lived in Georgia, one year they all just died and dropped to the ground. It was an odd sound as you backed your car out of the garage...
They hang in a tree about 10' from my window, they don't last long as the birds eat them. And that happens every year, they scream in the trees, mate, and stave to death. The stop eating when they come out of the ground.
do we actually have to pay lia now?.....
Nah, Lia's cool. She ain't want ya money right now.
god damn.. its hard to find a good girl nowadays. lucky that she s nice
She's a real peach.


How many Chapaas do you consider a Problem?
one
49
Why 49?
just 49.. seem to be a good amount
8 then
42 is the answer

Greetings, Citizens!
Pals you mean 
We are all citizens of the empire, citizen. But we can be pals as well.
I have yet to receive my citizenship in Palia.
- Monthly payment Palia - Doesn't have cash shop
- One time buy Palia - Does have cash shop
Pick your fighter!!
I agree monetization a bad topic currently
Yeah I'm.staying out of that. It's never that simple.
i say its a solid point to start.. ppl would complain about in-game cash shop..
and it happens too often
When games are designed around monetization, you end up with a revenue scheme, not a game.
It's becomes hostile every time that topic is brought up
People will always complain. We are not in a position to speculate on the best payment model for the game at this time.
Save that battle for another hill.
I have thoughts on the matter, but if it might stir hostilities, then I would prefer we not talk about it.
Yo
Palia is still in a Prealpha stage. Many Moons have yet to pass.
Palia is currently, as we have been led to believe, blessed to be fully funded for development. As such, there is no need to discuss monetization until we are at least in late beta.
The Great Fabricator hath spoken!
My thoughts are not Palia specific, but in general, and could be applied to any game.
idk but whenever i see a new game coming out i ask myself "hmm.. what i should buy first?" 
The cute little mouse thing over there hath also spoken!
I'm just announcing the obvious.
thanks offal
You are verily welcome
So, dear Pals, if we were able to have any colour house in game, what colour would you choose?
Let's talk about outfits and costumes instead, because I require a pretty dress for when I'm conducting business in town, but I can't be getting flour all over it in the kitchen. Has there been talk of such things?
Elly brings up a very serious concern.
Mars red. To pay homage to my order Adeptus Mechanicus.
Rustic brown and Moss Green
I love that combo!
Hmm...I'd love a wooden house with a forest green roof!
Green everything must be green. Or pink and black.
We will never lose your house!!!
In real life, I typically wear earth tone pants, and blue or green shirts. And as for my house, I would try to color it the same as my childhood home, White with Dark Green Trim.
Moss on the roof would be fabulous ;__;
Great minds think a like!
Lots of green and earthy tones going around!
you know what i d love? to get into game already 
I paint myself earth tones in order to hide from other people
my house would just be a gaveyard mhmm wholesome goth aesthetics mhmm
thanks for the joke, dad
For what its worth, I doubt right now is what could be considered an ideal play experience.

I think that will look great with the visual style of the game
idk, i want to compare the gameplay.. being a lifeskill oriented game might be very interesting.
I’m pretty sure multiple outfit slots are confirmed
ok guys I will be honest with you, in my own humble opinion without being sentimental, of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my own point of view, but also by looking at this matter in a distinctive perspective, I would like to say that i have nothing to say, quack
I can relate to that, though systems are bound to change before launch.
so political..
Green.. I love the serenity of green.. the color of life 🙂
Everyone is Greeeeen!
I love green!
red like deki's blood
Well most people
This is the reason I dyed my hair green. I can pretend to be a plant and avoid social situations.
White, probably, itd look great with all the plants
Together we will have Christmas colors
I like blue. Dark blue mostly
Red and ashen gray with brass cogs and pipes
I think I will end up with warmer tones though. Something to bring out the colour in my forge.
Dunmer/dwemer style
Photosynthesis!
Agoraphobesis!
Maybe a nice rug. It really ties the room together.
I'm fairly partial to purple/silver or red/gold
Too gaudy and bold for most people, but I mean... gestures at self ya know.
Wouldn't you want your forge outside for ventilation?
I would like a colorful tiki room, adorned in bird feathers and house plants and torches
Dark red brick , navy blue roof and shutters.... and then a nice green bush out front with bright purple flowers.
I legit hope I get to have a proper work shed with a forge
I do hope to have a decently large workshop / forge where I can integrate as much mechanical doo-dads and whats-its as possible.
Maybe a barn
I hope there’s interesting crafting in the game
can you guys describe a character that i should draw?
The dream
I'm here to forge friendships between all my Pals here!
Does it have to be from Palia?
And if Zeki's mechanical arm is any indication, I want as much body augmentation as possible too
not neccessarily !
Dunmer
Sounds like you're here to spread sap!
Delicious... sticky sweet.... sap
🐁
I think my house would just be a cozy farm.
Ok! I'll try my best :)), keep in mind im a beginner ahhaha, im not the best at drawing
How about some Wildstar characters?
Draw Shrew!
Practice and patience
Drawing is the best 💜
Oooo I hadn't thought of that
Sounds peaceful and perfect
Thanks for the suggestions guys! I wrote them down and I will try to draw them all ❤️
I want to get back into drawing but I haven't really been feeling motivated enough to do so
Flesh is weak! Iron is strong!
Same really
I just wish for unnatural hair colors cause I can rarely make my characters look like myself.
I make my characters bald... for some reason...
Dtiys challenges helped me to get to draw more frequently.
Hair is overrated
All my characters have black hair bc all I used is a Ticonderoga pencil 
I'm like 50% hair irl.
Right now my hair is basically a woolly blanket I can't take off.
The heat is just all over me.
muspah?
Yeah the heat and lots of hair isn't a great combo.
My hair is a thick, curly, ginger fro.
Add high humidity to that combo and ugh
Yuck
Trying to grow it out to donate it again, and it's melting me right now.
I hate humidity
RIP southern costal residents
That's sweet though, props to you
the humidity is killer here in south Alabama.. going outside in the middle of the day is a no-no. I have hair down to my waist, and it's super thick and wavy.
Ok, I guess I'm far enough into the new day....
Hello, my name is Wippit and I'm a non-alpha spouse. It has been 7 days since pre-alpha took my wife. Now our conversations are confused and lacking. For example, upon sitting down at her computer for the first time today...
Passion: "OH!!!"
Wippit: "What?"
Passion: "I can't tell you."
I feel that soon she will only communicate in exclamations and giggles.
When will the uk finally unlock the Air Conditioning Achievement?
Did I make spicy food to make me sweat even more? Yes, yes I did.
Sorry, AC is on the same row as electric kettles. You can have one or the other, not both.
I'm not giving up my kettle! You shall never take my tea from me!
Coffee #1
Are faucets on the same row too
I should buy a desk lamp...
I am very fortunate to have single taps in the house
That's wild
Shimmerfly in a jar?

Ooh I could join to that drawing thing
Morning beautiful Palians 😄
Hi Paliates
I've been called a lot of things, but never beautiful
Dad what's a FERDA
Hello A Lot Of Things
Thank you!
Palianese

why is that nda 😔

Dad jokes are a pure form of love
All I ever got was dad belts...
Pretty much the exact opposite
Feeling
Especially
Roasty
Dad
Alliance
I got hung up on the r.
It's really warm here.
roasty cause they make coffee
You looking for a tilly, buddy? Let's have a donnybrook!
@little silo Well now you have. Your beautiful in your own weird way 😛
dad i have no idea what that means
Well according to the definition the scene of a uproar
Dad just challenged you to a dance off.
Press ☆ to dance back.
stares at keyboard
Where the heck is the ☆ key...
You have exceeded the time limit.
Dad has won the dance off.
RRREEEEEEEEEE
I wonder if we can make coffee in Palia
It is superior to tea.
Bruh
Nicki Minaj is better then coffee and tea 😘🦄🌈🌙✌️
I can't have caffeine... 😦
LOOOOL
makes you some nice caffeine free tea
Enjoy your hot water.
Hot cider is a thing
Bangle spice tea if actually quite delicious.
Heated leaf juice
As are mulled wines and beer
Nicki Minaj is better then Hot Cider🌙💕🌈✌️❤️
Mmm... beer...
Coffee is technically bean soup
head pat
Silly little mouse.
It's not a competition. Both tea and coffee are beautiful.
Diabetes 😦
Here in Texas, bean soup is considered bad chilie.
coffee is Also hot water
Excuse me? 
muddy water*
sluuurp yummy
bean soup>leaf soup
Mmmm bean soup
All delicious things
But the exploited South Americans makes it taste good
Cant have Nike without Sweat shops
You guys are gonna summon the turtle....
drifts off the subject and wonders if there will be a Chapaa wheel to power major appliances in Palia
On my way To go get my lip fillers xox
It's no coincidence that the industrial revolution happened at the same time that coffee first became popular in the west.
love my cuppa Joe in the morning 🙂 Not for the caffeine, I just love the flavor.
the world began when my eyes started seeing
It did but I did most the work because Nicki Minaj doesn’t like lazy people
I think the heat has gotten to us all.. except Rin of course
A friendly reminder to please continue the interesting topics in #💬│off-topic-chat before the topic gets out of hand, and keep this channel for Palia-related topics only. Thanks for understanding pals! 🦆
Doja Cat > Nicki
Palia > Doja Cat
Oh here we go
I mean... zeki is a cat...
Will Palia be this warm or will the weather be better?
Ahem
Doja is like on the level of Nicki but not quite there
I'm hoping for thunderstorms in Palia
How did we get from character hair colors to here.
is reality relative to the individual?
No
What a weird twisting road we are going down today
weather really brings a world to life, i agree
omg yes im always up for thunderstorms in games
I hope there's an interface for the devs like the disasters menu in SimCity.
When do yall think they're gonna give out the 3rd wave on invites? I'm really excited
I do love thunderstorms, as long as I'm not outside. nearly being struck by lightning once is enough for me.
weather immersion brings me joy in general but especially thunderstorms
IF WHO I PLAY AS IN PALIA CANT GET INJECTIONS THEN ILL SUE ISTG
Be cool if weather effects our crops
#palialipinjections
gotta bundle up the cabbages for hurricane season
...weird...
lmao?
not until Alpha. Pre alpha is/was capped at 1400
that is certainly a new idea
More of a quiet huff through the nose.
MY CABBAGES
That would actually be really fun. It would seem soo realistic
Hello friends of Palia, have a wonderful day.
Not an abominable day?
If you add too many people at once, it makes it harder to test bugs and determine what is effecting server stability.
of course understandable
I wish you an abominable snowman day and May he/she bring you joy.
bumbles bounce
how have i now just heard of this game, looks rlly good btw
Bominables bounce ya know
Same, I just heard about this game around 30 minutes ago. And ever since I've read about it, I fell in love
Ahh they caught you too Crypto welcome. Take a seat, get comfy we all on the same boat.
Welcome y'all!!
I’d like to think that had a Yeti vs Jack Frost. I hope to win and not pull a mcgreggor
Do yall think it would be fun/cool if there is combat? Like imagine your character throwing punches at someone else hahahaha
I'm not really here for combat. I've got a vast selection of games for that.
(Like Kerbal Space Program)
If I had an adjacent house in my world. And I had the ability to throw cats. I am that player that would.
only pvp will be like foot races cooking contests and card games etc. there wont be player vs player combat
Wait, it would be really cool if there are pets!! I want a dog
I think the whole point is working together not against each other. It's bloody refreshing to see tbh
i wouldnt mind having to defend myself while exploring! but i would probably skip on pvp
haha watched asmons vid just now and im impressed
no hp or death.
im ok with this
Who is that
Good timezone to you all 
Asmon? Sounds like some artisan bread?
Isn't that a wow streamer?
someone who lives in mordor
"Yes, i will have the turkey on asmon please, no mustard"
I got told he was a FFXIV streamer?
Pumpernickel > Asmon
He may have left wow like everyone else
Also here from Asmon's trailer reaction...
I told my brother about Palia. And he says he's going to keep an eye one this game, as it is something his wife would love.
seems like a lot of us are lol
I mean, dude has a metric ton of subscribers
I haven't seen it. I came here due to the Wildstar crowd talking about it.
Though we are drifting off topic again.
tbh idk where i saw palia first time... i think i found it when i was searching for new mmos to play...
🤌 do we know how many get accepted to play alpha?
1400
1400 have already started alpha-testing
wild..star? i thought the sun had set on that one
nice lucky 1400 ppl
May be more keys going out for beta and stress tests
I'm content to wait till full release.
It did, but those who loved, and miss the game, remain.
aww cute. i liked that one too.
I'm slowly being driven insane by waiting.
I first saw Palia on the Google articles that pops up while you're on mobile. I immediately got excited and started looking into it

That's my secret. I was never sane to begin with.
As they say, sanity... is for the weak.
same
1400 PRE Alpha, to clarify. Alpha hasn't happened yet.
Who says that?
The enlightened
Well, also no evidence that there will be alpha invites
Mostly insane people.
what?? I just sort of expected...
Insanity increases....
more invites for Alpha?
The "pre" does imply
S6, can I be a comfy tester? I can test the comfy of the game using very scientific comfy experiments to determine a comfy result.
yes, but the not-pre may just use the current testers
pre-alpha is capped already at 1400
Does it though? Wouldn't they say pre-alpha & alpha?
have seen many skip alphas and betas
I would like to know how many pre-alpha invites went unused, and could perhaps a few of the more active Discord users get a chance to use it.
With over 100k applicants chomping at the bit, I suspect they will let a few more of us in
In alpha stage
if there is an alpha stage*
Expect no additional invites until release, then you be pleasantly surprised if they give out more invites, and doubly so if you get one.
Would be nice, but I'm not going to get my hopes up just to be predictablely disappointed
Expect the worst, hope for the best!
Just hoping the pre alpha people don't go "this game sucks lol"
wow thats actually huge, what is this marketing
It is the power of comfy.
My wife is a pre-alpha player. Although I can't watch anything she is doing, I can assure you the game doesn't suck.
That's the funny thing. Most of that came from word of mouth.
Helps reduce stress. Which is why I still get carded to by video games at 35.
Sad how we wont be able to try the game yet.
My wife being a pre-alpha player is also why I'm slowly going insane...
yeah they thought they'd get 200-300 applications xD it escalated
I mean, it's not finished yet...
Finished, not finished. Indie games are doing fine, who released early access of the game to the public. Just to name a few.. Rust and DayZ
Have you seen who some of the devs are? I wouldn't call this an indie game...
Those are pew pew games, people love to kill others. But this is comfy vibes game 🤨
I hope they don't do an early access scheme here.
What if people overestimated the comfy and the game sucks 🤨
not to mention the list of failed early releases is staggering lmao
Indie games are rarely so well and fully funded
They already announced they aren't doing that
How "early" is this game, can i expect release in 2025?
Prealpha people please come with hype and good news lmao
Hype: Game is Gud.
That's all we need
That's good. I have seen how poorly people react to having their EA progress wiped for full release. Or worse, giving EA players an advanced launch ahead of others ruins it for all who follow.
Wifey!
Devs have said "definitely less than 3 years"
That's honestly all we need, for everyone in the 1400 to say "yeah game is good lol" the hype will destroy the server
My daughter will be grown before i get to play the game, probably wont have time 😦
Daughters tend to grow a little every day
Passion is a pre-alpha player. She posted hype and good new gifs 🙂
Do what every other parent does, play late.
😄
My two kids still at home want to play too
I'll be playing with my kids
No kids of my own (that I'm aware of) though my brother's 3 all have been playing since they were 4
my kids have kids already
I'm still looking for the other half of the equation, but I'm just too odd for most people.
dadjoke is ferda an abbreviation? if yes, what does it stand for?
Does anyone here have some real thoughts of when will be Palia released?
Thats why mathematics invented variables. Why else would we always be solving for ( X )
Frankly
Every
Retort is
Dad
Adjacent
Remember that play is play, not reality.
Solved for X, her name is Katie...
Yay, maths!
my play is reality
Now I need to solve for W
That's my sister. Welcome to the family.
All you need is a TI-83. And lots of money.
Nah
okay thanks 👍 
FERDA is probably the name of his neighborhood
dodoi
oh thats beautiful. luv it
Everyone in the world united to play this game, and finally forget about discord, racist statements, Russophobia
But... I like this discord
NOMIMIMIMI
hi rin 😊
Nope, not allowed.
Booo!
Zero. Fun.
You can't stop me from supplying all.of my Palia buddies with sturdy tools though!
Okay, I'll wait for something Russian, otherwise it's hard to communicate in English. Жду...
Of course not. There is work to be done.
You get a feesh, you get a feesh, everyone gets a feesh?
You're doing well so far!
Got any that good Orange Roughy?
Better than Chilean seabass... mmmm
Try something new just for the halibut
Hmm, so Samsung translator is cool!
Language localization will come towards end of development
Including Russian
That joke floundered.
I'm going to have to commission a pickaxe from you then
I know, but the wait is killing. Если меня слышит хоть один Русский, свяжись со мной, пожалуйста!
Sounds like a plan!
I hope you find a fellow Russian to befriend Catmen Mercy.
Just think, you supply pickaxes and then I can supply you with raw ore
I like this arrangement!
Fish
If you eat a cuttlefish, do you gain it's +10 to stealth?
Who whats
I would rather have a pet Cuddlefish.
I have an overwhelming urge to make Palia music videos when we get some gameplay footage
Awh
OMG, THE HI5
I need Nitro now, the world must know of these

Wait, there are tattoos in the game? Are they NPC only, or will Players be able to get them as well?
Good question!
Unknown to us non-testers
might be worth chucking in submit your question
I hope we get them as an option in the character creator
Some NPC also have mechanical prosthetics. I want those too
Something something "it is a mystery"
They do?
Zeki
oh his eye yeah
It was a great thing while it lasted!
Still. I want.
Thanks for the reactions, but I was referencing the ghost music djdhhdhd
What’s new in the Palian world?
me
Welcome !
Thanls!
rip


I think I'll blow up with that feeling i cant play this game yet.
Afternoon, Pals
Actually i am europian so i have different time :D
Evening, Pals
Hello! What's FERDA?
If you haven't looked at them already, there are 2 Unofficial FAQs that streamline what we have learnt from the Devs since day 1 on the server. We may mention these occasionally here are the links in case you haven't read them. These along with #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #❔│game-faqs should bring you up to speed with what we know about the game.

Ah thanks!
Good afternoon everyone 👋🏾
Hello
Hiya, you lil' beans. 
Hey o/
omg it's anner
fer da boys
that role is still super sexy
I didn't feel sexy before I got this Discord role. So, yeah.. I'd say it's pretty sexy.
damn that role is doing you good
the "She/Her" role?
im not allowed to be sexy
LOL, uhhh... not exactly. :3
the villager vote role ofc
Oh, that makes sense. Gotta keep the tie
i love ties
👋 Hey Gang, just saw the announcement trailer, already signed up for the Pre-Alpha! 🤞
Are the Pre-Alpha testers like playing already or not yet?
wtf i have villager vote and im not sexy
I don't believe there is a Pre-Alpha going on currently
I heard there was only a press event so far...?
okay :>
Oh, they probably already started
Im so lost... dont know whats happening
I'm sure some sort of testing is happening
we know for sure the first wavers have already done a round of testing
and im like 60% sure the second wave has started testing but theres not been any actual confirmation
Do we know if there will be 3rd or more waves? o:
Who knows.
Probably not.
From original information the devs were aiming for 1400 total pre alpha testers and weve hit that.
That was my guess as well, but thought I'd ask anyway, thanks.
Didn't learn about the game in time, missed the opportunity by few days. Ah well 🙂
It feels weird that there are still sign up links available online though. So it doesn't hurt to still apply. Be sure to also do the second survey here on discord.
That is a pretty good point.
I did, thank you. 💖
its a little odd
maybe they'll just keep the emails in their database for alpha/beta?
And no worried. Pre alpha is super early dev. There might be chances for alpha/beta.
I think there are a lot of things subject to change as the development progresses, so it's definitely a good idea to fill out the form just in case. I agree with that, completely.
Or maybe even early access! ... Well, if that is an actual thing.
Who knows what their plans are, y'know? 
Absolutely. Is just that I'm home now, post surgery, had the time. But I'm just so excited to know this exists, been sharing info around to some friends, etc.
yeah palia has some Good Vibes™️
I hope your recovery goes smoothly, Rain!
The community here is lovely so hang out all you want while you wait for news and such 
Indeed. The game isn't even publicly available yet everyone is already so friendly, cozy, and welcoming
50 burpees, 50 pushups, stairs. Just ripping skull crashers. Just rippin silly animal stack. Just rippin bent over rear delt raise with head on bench.
Thank you!
I am big fan of MMOs, just social aspect of things, and farm sims and open world exploration things and this has alll those things, it's like a dream come true.
A dream come true for many of us 
Heyyy everybody 👋
I don't know what to do... I'll just go play some zelda or wha xd
Good timezone all 👋
Cinna, bb. Hello. ❤️
cinnnn how was work
I feel like there's bunch of content to catch up to already, like who are all these cute emojis, etc. I look forward to that. Hi Cinna!
Good until my internet connection just died.
Kinda important when working from home xD
You can lose yourself in this server for days... weeks. Have fun exploring/reading. ❤️
It's a lovely release from Animal Crossing hell
D:
Unexpected day off
Anything interesting happen today?
Trying to reset router and such to see if I can recover from this xD
But not looking great so far x_x
Need to go now to work on some writing, but thank you and I will be back. 😄 Have a lovely day
You, too, Rain!
Take care fren:3 pls do come back and hang!
I will make sure to, you all are truly so sweet and friendly. 💖
Wouldn't even be a fun unplanned day off. Calling internet company? No thanks. || spectrum you can burn
||
You can check to see if your internet provide has an outage map. I know Xfinity does, so sometimes I'll look there before panicking.
Hi
Some months back, my PC stopped connecting to Internet. Wifi worked for phone, but couldn't get it to work. I did everything and then some, a friend who works in Tech Support even helped. Got a Wifi antenna plug and everything and still it didn't. And then, after week of suffering, I finally called and turned out to be 3 minute fix from their end with recent router software update? I felt so silly. oTL But the stress of call.
Ironically, if you have working internet, then you can probably view the map without worrying about no internet
Lol my service provider wanted me to login to view whether I was in an outage or not after I gave my address. Dodgy. In any case I'm back in the biz now
I more so meant checking it on your phone with data usage, 'cause that's what I've done.
Oh yeah. I forgot data exists

I have mastefed being so forgetful and unaware that I am decades wrong
feels weird not to be here 24/7
Nomiiiii
I was very much not online this weekend.
Same. I try to be here when I can though
cinnyyyy 🥰
true
Hellooooo, Nomi. 💖
hello anner [bats eyes]
when you guys aren't here, are you thinking about being here?
bats eyes right on back. 😊
I am, off and on, wondering if I'm missing out on something 🧐
of course, or thinking about being in palia 🤤
I do frequently think about all things Palia related, yes. I'll be like, "Wow, I haven't been in the palia-chat in a couple days..."
I'm thinking about being here even when I am here
I tell myself though if there's something even moderately of importance there would be a dev channel announcement about it
i hope the remembrance garden isn't a graveyard but it probably is
they mention it in ashura's sheet
what do you imagine it could be? :3
I'm 99.9% sure the whole world is just one big graveyard. 😏 (OBVIOUS JOKE, PLS)
i love you all
we found The Undertaker y'all
Deep thought
spooky
☠️
dad im hungry
omg there was a big discussion previously about wantnig there to be run down areas with ghost inhabitants
i'm willing to believe that this is not real and i made palia up because it's perfect
ARE WE THE GHOST INHABITANTS
isn't like all dust mostly old decayed human skin and whatnot. It kinda checks out.
well we did vanish for a few thousand years
Oh jesus. 🤢
aaah i love little haunted houses with cute ghosts yyou can befriend
Oh... same dude SameDude!
i dont like thinking about people dying
I just wanna live in Palia after death.
We're all partying it up in ghost land, no worries.
Fan Theory: Palia is where you go when you die
Woah, wouldn't that be something...
Sword Art Online: Farming sim edition
^ LOL.
please. Take me.
This is the kind of after life I could get behind.
Every time someone compares this to SAO I feel obligated to recommend also watching Log Horizon - a richer, deeper look at being stuck in and living in a video game world
Log Horizon slaps
Nyanta was my first anime crush lol
hello lurkers 🌻 🧸 🫂
though beware that Log Horizon is like "yeeaaah cooll!!!" at first but eventually becomes "what the hell is even going on, how did we get to this"
I actually didn't watch SAO and am not personally a fan, but the concept was much talked about. I think Log Horizon might be more to my taste, if I were to watch.
i only ever watched the anime so i dont really know where the story goes after that
but it's a nostalgic show to me
Super recommend 
Buuuut this is Palia chat, so, - how much time do you think you'll spend in Palia? Could you be 'living there?' 😄
what if we could watch anime in Palia? xD
|| totally making a note of log horizon tho never heard of it ||
Hello again, Citizens
Joking, but there are other MMO's that you can actually stream other media in while you're inside lol
that would probably bring a load of copyright infringement lawsuits, so let's leave it for discord streams haha
there are?
If I get into a game hardcore... I live there, for a long time. If it's MMO game, could be years of happy daily playing. Well, depends how draining work is, but ah.
Yep, Second Life immediately comes to mind
I heard this one farm sim coming out soon-ish lets you have gaving consoles within your house
oh ofc second life i shouldve figured
Like, play and everything
SunnySide? i dont know much about it but i remember it being modern so maybe??
No, Coral Island
oh
I feel like that is a natural evolution of gaming and business
I mean yeah but Second Life is just one big hub of weirdness. They don't get problems with copyright because lawyers are stepping no foot inside that rabbit hole.
Rin, congratulations on being adopted/promoted from stray to house cat?
I'ma live in Palia .hack style
Ah thanks
I was adopted by everyone
community cat 
Rin is best boi
am not
That's fair
That's what all cats say
imma go watch 90s family sitcoms now 😤
Just out of principle
most cats say theyre the best and everyone should bow down to them
i think im bad
so long you cuties, take care. GO HYDRATE. eat a fruit.
nomi do you have snacks can i have snacks
No, they're like I reject your good boy concept, that's for dogs
what is the most mischief you have doled out today
Not all dogs are good boi. Some are good gurl.
Mischief... uhm, I was playing Genshin and I didn't realise I was the coop room host so I didn't start a Domain and I felt really bad afterwards
I'll miss you nomi

home, finally
I wonder if we will get cats/dogs in Palia 🐱
HAI NOMI
Wait, we can't use other server emojis here?
We already have the dog-adjacent animals whose names we don't know
yes here 🍉 🍿 🧃 there's enough for everyone
if you have nitro I think
HI CHAIR good timing
you underestimate how many snacks i can eat nomi
I have baby nitro 😭
hehe
YEAH hydrate and eat a fruit everybody, even you, Chair
You can't use other emojis in this channel
you can do it in other channels
ooooic
Im eatin' a pepsi
But my cat plead emoji.... 😭
Not @ me, but I inverted my roommates controller controls on their darksouls character last night... still waiting to hear the results 😈
cromchy
🥺
I'm drinking some steak, sippin on a cool grilled cheese
I need coffee at 10pm
How do you guys do that stuff i feel terrible if i inconvenience people
ill go to a convenience store and bow and say sorry about twenty times for asking a question
😭 💞 
A certain someone is having a birthday tomorrow and I have to be sneaky tonight and bake a cake after they've gone to sleep
where are you going ; - ;
Im not much of pranker too
Its a special kind of love :)
i wanna watch comforting tv shows and shut my brain off
oh phew, I thought you were leaving us 🥺
i should probably watch the owl house...
no Ima just miss nomi's absence ;_; until we meet again
oh please, i'm way too deep in. i appreciate the concern tho <3
I was going to recommend something Rin but it has ghosts in it
any recommendations? that sounds like what I need as well
i mean... i guess i can watch ghost stuff as long as theyre cute ghosts
oh, ho-ho. a ton. but i can't guarantee that we have the same taste.
or even normal ghosts as long as i dont have to see them die
may i dm you?
Parks & Rec, Schitt's Creek, The Good Place
nomi will recommend uhh what was it. moomins
mooooomiiinnns
sure. And it never hurts to have a list of options to check out, haha.
THE GOOD PLACE IS SO GOOD
not really turn your brain off though i think
CIIIIINAAA
True
Odd thing to suggest, but I found Somebody Feed Phil incredibly sweet and comforting
I don't think I've found my comfort show yet
I've recently been watching Oddtaxi
it's not comforting or turn your brain off at all but it's good
episode four gave me anxiety
i can see that, i love "dish granted" on youtube
odd taxi is not at all comforrting but very very brain engaging
but remember this is palia chat guys
duck is watching.
I find Mushishi comforting
Oh actually iirc my favorite chill anime are
- Yuru Camp
- K-on! (i havent seen it in a long time though)
- Nichijou (favorite comedy anime)
Can I recommend Gilmore Girls? 👉 🥺 👈 --- I really didn't think it would be my type of show, but it has very cozy vibes about it. Great for autumn/winter, and the humor is pretty good. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF WE TALKED ABOUT THIS OR NOT.
I was wondering if there were some mushishi watchers in here:3
Oh I'll check that out! Gotta gear up to get in the mood to do some cooking on the side in Palia
i've been watching that so much
I kept thinking about Mushishi, actually. Omg someone knows :' ) 💖
What would be everyone's comfort/relaxing activity in Palia?
mushishi is the one with the spirits and the adult white-haired main character, right?
LET ME LAY DOWN IN A FIELD OF FLOWERS. 
Fishing maybe? Although I'd like to cook too
I'd say music if that's an option but 1. we don't know for sure and 2. i have social anxiety i think
I didn't mean to respond to you, LOL.
I'm going to make tools and fishing rods for people in game, if they allow it
Im gonna make chairs.
Yeah that's the one Nomi
nichijou is the top comedy anime, agreed. and mushishi is incredibly good as well, though not always comforting.
Yeah, but it's beautifully made and soft, in some ways, thought provoking but like... Not too much
FISHING!!!!!
Actually I don't have a problem with text chat for some reason
As long as there are no responsibilities
chilling with friends sounds nice
Sounds nice. I think mine will be like farming/pets and exploring a lot. Sitting down and enjoying nature, talking with friends
Tuning and optimizing production ques so that I can set a variety of products to craft at once as efficiently as possible.
I am having a hard time reconciling this. Would those chairs be your progeny, as a fellow chair?
Yeah, that's why I didn't quite mention because the comfort it gives isn't guaranteed or universal
Nichijou deserved a second season
also both singers for Hyadain Kata Kakakatakaomoi-C are the same dude
I have no idea how he managed to sing the female part that convincingly
If I can enchant them, I will build an army worth of Palia.
Ohhh, very cool. 😄 Not my type of relaxing, personally, but it sounds really cool and like it'll be very helpful
thanks 
we're tv-chat now lads and lasses and others idk what the gender neutral for lads is
vlads
Pals
I just use "folks"
LADS AND LASSES AND VLADS
vlads the impaler:3
Slavic people, raise
vlads (plural)
Buy and plant an insane amount of tomatoes. The repetition of farming is relaxing and I also like tomatoes
We could have a whole tomato festival:3
i hope you're well vlad, wherever you are
Lettuce please plant cabbages
my cabbages
Thank you. Most other games like that are either too frantic or lack real purpose.
Very repetitive tasks end up making me exhausted, personally, I would need to switch it up, but I love the idea of your home having fields and fields of tomatoes
Entire neighborhood dedicated to tomatoes
Called the Tomates
the fact the days will be so short is a lot like @_@ for me right now, when will I explore if I need to maintain my farm?
tomato gang
I'd like to plant "herbs" 🪴 😁
I cannot tell you how many hours I have spent planting and harvesting crops in lotro. I fully intend to do the same on Palia when I'm not making tools.
find me in the chicken coop
are you a chicken or
whats lotro
chimken
I'll likely need to buy all of my food. I don't really bother making my own usually.
Takes up production space.
we will trade you 100k tomatoes
I wanna try my hand at everything and probably end up mediocre in all skills for most of midgame but that's okay
Lord of the Rings Online, where I have spent many years waiting for a game just like Palia
Would you be interested in purchasing tomatoes
Not sure what I'm gonna do with so many tomatoes unless I can capitalize on selling ketchup...
Sell to the pub for bloody marys
:o
i havent read or watched lord of the rings
i hear its good and i tried to read it once but it felt like gandalf and mr hobbit were just walking for like a quarter of the book
make a literal spaghetti factory

The books are so good, haven’t watched the movies
Hmm. I hadn't really considered a culinary factory tbh
Cupcake-tron [20 years from Palia's current year]
First 3 are nice. Second trilogy abysmal
I am always down for some Palian Spaghet
Hobbit book is better than the movies I in my opinion
the nature of this server is that we always go back to food talk
Food unites us all
At least this is palian food talk
Palian ice cream flavours
That's my nature where ever I am.
Books are way better than the movies. Why tf was Legolas even IN the hobbit movies?
Chapaa burgersssss
it's all food. Lumber cooks the food. Farming grows the food.
with cute chapaa mascot for branding
you go explore to forage for food
Thus, my diabetes...
Don't get me started! lol
musicians convince the food to grow better
you fish for food
Fish cakes!
Chapaas shed o nthe food
Answer is simple Orlando Bloom
Brb... gotta get actual IRL work done for a moment...
I'm with ya buddy. I'll grow ya some nice fruit. Ya need that fiber!
should somethin happen this evening?
Mangoes...

I'm not aware of any event today
90% of my diet is nuts. I'm good on fiber ><
You're now my nutty buddy
Oh we didn't get a new villager vote did we...

I am also hungry
I request a coconut cream pie please

Lemon meringue

Chicken pot pie
Chicken and mushroom pie
Monster

I think Maya has promised us meat pies
Chapaa pies ?
Noooo
Chapie? 
So cruel D:
Now im hungry for pies 🥴
alright y'all im going back to being focused fully on werk. enjoy your sweet or savory pies y'all, in your heart of hearts
Byeee 🙂
And mushy peas
I don’t like this savory direction y’all are taking with these pies. But I’ll still make them for you
With suet pastry for the steak and kidney pies 🙂
You can stick to the sweet ones. I think the savouries are covered
Oh good
How do you feel about Palian sweet potato pie?
Can we start on tarts now?!
That sounds tasty 😋
what kind?
We need to find you some cows so you can make whipped cream!
Homemade whipped cream >>> canned whipped cream, and it's very easy to make. >:V
There's a place down the street from me that serves "Cow to table" products
If there's an earthquake we get Palian milkshakes
Your milkshake brings all the chapaa to the yard?
Dang right
*pre alpha
it's under NDA, so no gameplay sorry
They haven't dropped any yet. It's quite early days
That's a big negatory, Brian
any more pre alpha invites rolling out soon?
no idea
I SUMMON THE DUCK!
They have given out all 1400 pre Alpha keys planned. But there's more testing to come, so all is not lost.
TSM TSM

Traditionally male silhouettes always get a low amount of votes. 😢
3 cause why not
Vote Ashura
vote 3
YO 3 IS GOGGLES GIRL

i would love to see 3
3
yes
Could be number 1, with new art

❓
that would be the biggest art shift we've seen so far :o
3 is the only one on the website that hasn't been revealed yet
probably best one
True true
Pie Girl takes a strong lead right out of the gate!
Ohh first time I get to cast vote o:
I'm really curious about 1 too, but I hope 3 wins
#1 either has something on their back or a ponytail

The Ladies are almost always more popular then the male choices. T_T
such thirst
think it might be a shield
Looks like a slightly chipped shield 🙂
either way we get stuff to speculate about 
Hey guys 
tmw you can see all of them in various art already posted publicly ;p
No, we’ve seen them. They’re on slide 4 of the “a cozy world just for you” mini picture slideshow
wow i didnt even notice the chip
Yeah, looks like they have a round shield on their back
maybe it's a chipped frying pan top
4 is on the website too on the first pic of the carousel iirc
and they're a cook
the only one i havnt seen anything for is 1
like i said she is on the website they just haven't given information about her yet
Ha ha ha, I didn't want to phrase it in such an obvious way. 
#2 looks like one of jels siblings
Aaaaa I totally read your message wrong sorry
Waifus = lock
4 is second glasses lady I think
no problem.
villager vote more like waifu wars
I just want pie. I don't see how that's wrong.
people realy like pie lady i guess
