[tropic palm]

we have our guild all set, "The Joes"

[rapid oxide]

lmao

[celest maple]

its from fullmetal alchemist i think.. they're basically demons

[pearl plover]

If only we had a mojo jojo

[patent adder]

I'm a humungulous thank you very much ☺️

[rapid oxide]

yes

[tropic palm]

I expect to go on a gathering spree with my fellow joes. Just don't shout "Jo" when passing by, please.

[rapid oxide]

too late

[patent adder]

They aren't from there, but they are used in there. :3

[nova raven]

Dont be mentioning FMAB unless you ready to have a major discussion about it.

[celest maple]

lmao i was actually kinda nervous about the "basically demons" part of my comment..

kinda expected everybody to start lecturing me about the differences lol

[rapid oxide]

luckily for you nor do i know or care too haha

[celest maple]

WHUUUT

[patent adder]

My brain is small. Like a homunculus☺️

[nova raven]

Lol nah I wouldn't do that. I just LOVE FMAB. My favorite series of all time and Edward's My favorite character of all time!

[celest maple]

u dont care bout FMA and FMAB.. HERECY!!!! BLASPHEMY!!!!

[zinc steeple]

fma is awesome

haven't seen it in too long

the muscles guy cracked me up

[rapid oxide]

o yeah tbf never watched it, not really an anime guy lol

[zinc steeple]

im not really. i only like a few

[rapid oxide]

but even if i did i ain't no lecturer

[patent adder]

I don't watch anime either. Anyways, brb. Driving home from work 👏

[rapid oxide]

enjoy

[zinc steeple]

fma is good though.
stand alone complex is prob my fave

cos the major is just too badass and the little robots are too cool

[celest maple]

yeah no.. me neither.. anime is for weebs

[rapid oxide]

but you are a weeb deep down arn't you?

[nova raven]

If you ever decide to get into anime FMAB would def be my recommendation. Only 64 episodes so it's not one of those overly long animes. And it's got in my opinion some of the best story telling of this generation

[rapid oxide]

if i decide to i might lol

my weeb friends all tell me i should

[nova raven]

Just be warned tho! Watch Full Metal Alchemist BROTHERHOOD. Dont look up the one that just says Full Metal Alchemist.

[zinc steeple]

the thing about anime is, there is soooo much terrible stuff out there, its easy to find nothing but shit.

[celest maple]

lots of great ones.. i really like code geass.. just watched a third time a few months ago..

[zinc steeple]

vanilla fma is good....

[rapid oxide]

sounds like my average trip to the toilet

[zinc steeple]

lol

accurate metaphor. most of the time its shit, but now and then its amazing.

[celest maple]

yes

[nova raven]

I personally dont like it, but know some people really enjoy it. I just dont think it can hold a candle to the author's original work.

[brittle halo]

not to be that guy but this might be better suited for #💬│off-topic-chat

[zinc steeple]

lol

[celest maple]

oh this guy!!!

[zinc steeple]

i was wondering when that would happen

[nova raven]

Lol srry, I'll get us back on track tho!

[rapid oxide]

imagine a farming sim but dnd, roll a nat 1 on harvesting a carrot and it stabs you in the eye

[nova raven]

So uhhhhh....Crafting Classes!

[celest maple]

sooo i checked off wow and ff14 in the survey thing.. should i have picked animal crossing and stardew valley instead???

[warm plover]

one day people in submit your question will stop asking how many waves there are

[rapid oxide]

don't think it makes a differene just doing the survey counts

[nova raven]

What kinda crafting is everyone interested in trying first. I'm def gonna poke and prod all of them at the beginning but I'll probably do a deep dive on Potion making/alchemy if they have those in the game!

[celest maple]

cooking and farming and hunting

[warm plover]

cooking probably

[nova raven]

High five for FFXIV

[rapid oxide]

probs farming cooking n smithing

[nova raven]

[celest maple]

but same as u.. will try everything before going hard at 1 or 2 things

[zinc steeple]

depends on the benefits

[zinc steeple]

thats what she said by the way

[rapid oxide]

hmmm if lumberjacking is it's own skill, house's need wood, furniture need wood therefore potential job market

[celest maple]

(hii)

[rapid oxide]

carpentry as it's own skill even better

[vague patio]

survey?

[zinc steeple]

hi!

[rapid oxide]

AHHH IT'S A PERSON!!!

[celest maple]

on the palia website u can sign up for pre alpha and doing a survey will increase ur chances of getting picked @vague patio

[vague patio]

oh right

[nova raven]

You left my Chapaa hanging. 1st rule of Palia, never leave a Chapaa hanging!

[celest maple]

What's Chapaa? 😐

[nova raven]

[celest maple]

the weird dog creature from palia

Understood!!

[rapid oxide]

[nova raven]

Yea, it's so derpy cute!

[celest maple]

Now, I agree! 💯

[nova raven]

[celest maple]

pets would be wonderfull.. hopefully they arent just gonna be npc's standing around doing nothing in house

[rapid oxide]

sorted

[celest maple]

being able to do stuff with them would be cool

[vague patio]

[nova raven]

[celest maple]

[rapid oxide]

[celest maple]

But isn't that gonna be difficult to take care of your pets all the time? Like feeding and petting?

[nova raven]

I love where this is going

[celest maple]

noo its gonna be amazing.. if thats the case

oh ..

[celest maple]

bishu ruined it

[rapid oxide]

ya boi gotta go paint the house so catch y'all later maybe

[celest maple]

._.

Sowi

[nova raven]

It's fine. We must nurture our sprouts and spread the wisdom of Palia!

[restive granite]

I think the next invite wave will be on the 26th or sooner

[celest maple]

completely new to palia and the discord but agree.. very excited to see where the game is going.. just from the trailer and a few YT vids about it, it seems like a game i could get into :D

[nova raven]

There's a gif of the Chapaa in game @severe fjord

Oops I PM the wrong person

[vague patio]

dont get my hopes up like that

[nova raven]

Care about that speculation. They said they dont plan invites pass the 1400 they sent out for PreAlpha and they dont want usel speculating too much on time windows

[vague patio]

heehee good morning from EST y'all

[nova raven]

Howdy neighbor I'm in CST!

[vague patio]

[celest maple]

dunno what zone im in.. but its 13:20 midday here

Hello from the other side ~~

[restive granite]

where did they say this?

[nova raven]

So somewhere over that lake where they all talk funny

[celest maple]

oh are u from fyn or jylland.. howdy neigbour.. hows the cows :D??

[nova raven]

Cant remember exact source but I'll link you the video where I got most my info on

https://youtu.be/RdjupO_IDow

That video is a compilation of a bunch of questions the dev's have answered in one platform or another

I think there's a pinned message from Xrystal we might be able to find as well that has a google doc with a bunch of question answeres

Idk how to look at pinned messages on phone tho lol

[restive granite]

an unofficial google doc, im going to take this with a grain of salt

[silent cairn]

everything in that video is from the document in the pins of this channel made by Vlad https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E/edit

[vague patio]

I don't like to watch or read too much before i play a game tbh :3

[vast raptor]

@vague patio same

[vague patio]

i think i'm weird, everyone seems to follow all the haps

like im not trying to hide from info but i don't seek it out

[nova raven]

Hey you do you. Everyone's got their own way to play. As long as you're enjoying yourself!

[celest maple]

I'll read everything

[silent cairn]

also, the info you're looking for comes from #❓│old-team-answers-alpha

For context, 8 days ago, Neleimour and I talked about how we were hoping this little trailer from an unknown studio might bring in a few hundred sign ups. Needless to say, the response has blown us away and now we have hundreds of thousands of sign ups for our small test. We are not scoped for that.

However, we will have many more tests leading up to our launch, which we expect to run at higher player counts.

[regal swallow]

Happy timezone!

[nova raven]

Also thank you for finding that!

[patent adder]

Vlads google doc is as close to official as it can be. It was pinned here for a reason 😅

[regal swallow]

As a person in that 1400. I can say that I'm having fun. And I think at full release you will all too

[quick magnet]

🥺

[silent cairn]

🥺

[wintry idol]

Oooh, I really wanna see Villager #4, their hairstyle looks interesting 👀

[nova raven]

Omg a prealpher! They have graced us with their presence!

[silent cairn]

but that's all I wanna hear and keep hearing. thanks!

[patent adder]

[regal swallow]

Do note its only the Prealpha lots of testing

[silent cairn]

Milky, don't look for praise for being a tester.
You get x10 more in this chat for just being yourself

[patent adder]

Haha, I was just joking don't worry. I love the peek emote ☺️

[silent cairn]

english is hard, so I dunno if I'm making it clear - I gotcha, and all I'm saying is that we already love you x10 more than anything you could get for just havin that role

[patent adder]

Awwwwwh. 🥺 Thank you.

I do not deserve that though

[wintry idol]

Hope everyone's doing great tonight

[regal swallow]

I concur that Milky is one of the most wholesome person on the server

[patent adder]

You too, friend. ☺️

[nova raven]

You're a prealpher Milky?

[warm plover]

he is

he tries very hard not to spill any beans

[regal swallow]

No beans only rice

[wintry idol]

[patent adder]

Yah I am. 😅

[nova raven]

I want a burrito now...

[regal swallow]

[vague patio]

[regal swallow]

For Food would you rather Garden, Hunt, or Fish?

[wintry idol]

Fish for sure

[regal swallow]

In the trailer it shows all 3

[wintry idol]

Love fishing, it's super relaxing 😌

[summer obsidian]

Happy Timezone Palians!!

[patent adder]

You too, Overflow. ❤️

[nova raven]

Hmmmm idk what I want between gardening and hunting. Gardening is a go to, but interested in how hunting is gonna work

[wintry idol]

Happy Timezone to ya too, Pal!

[vague patio]

i think thats my favorite little critter thats come out so far

[summer obsidian]

me too! I'm obsessed with the Shimmerfly 😄

[nova raven]

I wanna see some Palia Beetles!

[patent adder]

[nova raven]

Squishy face!

[regal swallow]

^ sticker

[patent adder]

Oh I didn't know they made stickers for them yet ☺️

[summer obsidian]

The Tau sticker is really stinking cute too

[wintry idol]

super cute

[keen prawn]

Please keep the stickers coming 😌

[vague patio]

w<

[patent adder]

Knowing the artists they will ☺️

[summer obsidian]

Is there an art challenge this week? Wasn't last week Einar?

[silent cairn]

Yup, this week is Shimmerflies

[summer obsidian]

ooohhh!! I might need to get someone to draw me some art then, I plan to call my neighborhood The Shimmerflies Squad 😄

[nova raven]

The artist are always watching and listening in for ideas and suggestions.

[vague patio]

#🎨│old-palia-fan-art message

[regal swallow]

Keyword The

[silent cairn]

Oooh, that's nice. I hope it's not because you're gonna be catching all of them with those bug-nets though

[nova raven]

I suggested a "One of Us" emote and they seemed to take interest lol

[wintry idol]

talk to you soon, fellow Palians

[regal swallow]

Brilliant Shimmerflies to your Dreams!

[wintry idol]

[celest maple]

do u guys know about how big houses or maybe even farms we could have in the game.. like could i run a farm with my sisters perhaps???

[summer obsidian]

no, it's because I think they are gorgeous! Haven't perfected our slogan, but something like "Helping each of our members shine like a shimmerfly in whatever task they are doing in the game". We release Shimmerflies (or keep them as pets at the worst). We don't catch and hurt them. 😛

[celest maple]

aww :(

nda's is the work of the devil!!

[regal swallow]

Sorry cant answer that fully.

However in the trailer we do see people visit other players

[nova raven]

In terms of running a cooperative building project they have eluded to stuff like that but have directly said anything. But they did say you would be able to have friend help out with decorating and building

[vague patio]

a permissions system would be neat maybe?

[nova raven]

They said for building that we've have several options in terms of floor plan but didnt mention exactly how big we could build or upgrade to. In the trailer it does show the player upgrade from a tent to a pretty sizable house.

[nova raven]

I honestly think they will have something like that

[iron pagoda]

ahh I'm back 😄 hello everyone.

[vague patio]

makes a lot of sense. like in real life, roommates are allowed to move your furniture around, but it'd be pretty weird if you're guest did this probably

[nova raven]

Yea, plus some games already have this type of system. So wouldn't make much sense for an mmo based on community cooperation to not have it.

[summer obsidian]

I def. think you'd want to err on the side of caution vs. permission. You wouldn't want to become friends with someone you met 2 minutes ago, and have them over to your house and them start to move all your stuff around. So I could see where permissions would be the best solution for that scenario

[vague patio]

exactly

[summer obsidian]

I know in Animal Crossing I was always suspicious of people running around where I couldn't see them. So I would make sure I had hit all my rocks before I let someone over I wasn't sure if I could trust.

[vague patio]

can you imagine though? you have a friend from work over for coffee and you come back in the room and your couch is on the other wall now

awkward

[summer obsidian]

haha! That "friend" would...um...not be invited over again

[vague patio]

lol i dunno though, they might be an interesting friend. i think i would judge it based on their interior design skills

if they helped the room i think i'd keep them around and see what else happened

[nova raven]

Maybe they just fat fingered flipping the couch over

[brittle halo]

they just so happen to smuggle half of your furniture out in their coat, whoopsie

[vague patio]

< me realizing my furniture is gone and their coat is lumpy

[drowsy scarab]

A sweet looking lady from next door once brought me a casserole when I got home from hospital. Later I realised that she stole money from me when she brought the food...

[sand barn]

Oh wow, that's devious

[vague patio]

whoa

[drowsy scarab]

Shady lady, I'm glad that I moved.

[sand barn]

Shady lady 😂

[summer obsidian]

talk about kicking you when you're down

[vague patio]

sorry that happened, its pretty messed up

they must have been desperate

[drowsy scarab]

I'm still too shocked to be angry, it still feels like a bad sitcom episode.

[nova raven]

Someone stole my sandles that were drying on outside my front door and I just screamed out, "Well, I just hope you really needed them!"

Ok gotta go to work so gonna be in luck mode. Have a good one all!

[drowsy scarab]

You too

[summer obsidian]

So it's an overwhelming vote for who seems like pie-lady, huh?

[regal swallow]

I like pie, even while pie flavored

[craggy niche]

Yo

[regal swallow]

Howdy!

[vague patio]

where is this pie you speak of

[summer obsidian]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850062378926473227/850552983174905886/Palia_Banner_pano_0033_friends1.jpg?width=676&height=676

[pearl ore]

I want pie

[tulip wagon]

We're a hungry bunch

[deft sonnet]

Dude tomorrow s6 wil reveal my girlfriend

[zinc steeple]

phrasing

[vague patio]

the only thing with that silhouette being pie girl is, whats in her hand that shes holding up? and are the swirly bits her hair?

or is it confirmed and im inspecting this for no reason

[summer obsidian]

no, it's not confirmed...just a guess

[manic timber]

Looks like that critter is about to nomf the pie.

[tulip wagon]

I suspect it's a spoon handle and she's carrying a mixing bowl

[vague patio]

ah yes

[manic timber]

If you mean the girl on the right, zooming in, she's holding a tankard.

[tulip wagon]

No, we mean number two

[summer obsidian]

the girl on the right is Jina (she's already been revealed)

(full picture) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850062378926473227/850560450726330398/MK_CharaPicnic_FINAL-tian_S.jpg?width=1440&height=663

[tulip wagon]

What?

[manic timber]

LOL, I just noticed that critter is stealing a line of sausages.

So yes, nomf incoming. The one in the bush doesn't look happy about it though.

[vague patio]

maybe they'll share it

the one in the bush is the lookout

[summer obsidian]

oh, by the tankard comment I thought you meant the one in the picnic photo, didn't realize the comment was about the #4 person in the villager vote

[tulip wagon]

Lol I was so confused!

[vague patio]

im interested in that one though, would have been my second choice

[zinc scarab]

I think it’s a jar of bugs

[tulip wagon]

There's a promo with that character on it I think

[celest maple]

Dying in this heatwave noms an iced lollypop

Critter in that picture is a mood

[summer obsidian]

I think #4 is this person who is on the website: https://palia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Media-Carousel03-1024x576.jpg

[zinc scarab]

iced lollypop???

[ocean stone]

Ice lolly is how Brits say Popsicle

[celest maple]

I'm british its what we call them.. er crap what does everyone else call them

[zinc scarab]

Ohhhh

[vague patio]

oh for sure, shes got the crazy fun hair

[tulip wagon]

Yep, that's the one. I didn't want to spoil it for anyone.

[celest maple]

THATS IT. Popsicle.

[vague patio]

i wish my hair did that

[ocean stone]

I used to live in England:3 Always a surprise what words we use differently

[celest maple]

I've woke up and cos of the heat its the first thing i've gone for a Fab lolly XD

[tulip wagon]

I am forever translating

[celest maple]

I actually prefer candy over us saying sweets tbh

[summer obsidian]

oops, didn't mean to ruin anything

[drowsy scarab]

Add green hair to that bug lady and... She's me.

[celest maple]

Candy is a way nicer word.

[ocean stone]

"sweeties" is kinda dodgy ngl

[tulip wagon]

Nah, it's on the bloody website.

[celest maple]

I'm more like Kenyatta, just thicker thighs and hips, more tattoos. Boom.

[celest maple]

Thing is i say candy and all my mates correct me XD But nah, candy sounds and looks nicer to me so whatever

[tulip wagon]

Yeah "sweeties" always came off as childish I guess. Or maybe condescending. Like I'm being talked down to.

[keen prawn]

Goodnight everyone 😄

[celest maple]

Night hun!

[ocean stone]

On Halloween one night a few years back, I ordered pizza online and asked in the comments for hte delivery person to knock and say 'trick or treat'. This was in England, and while some neighbors had decorated we had no trick or treaters....Anyway the delivery guy did indeed deliver on my request and I gave him a ton of candy and thanked him. He said, "anything for the sweeties" and I uh nope.

[nova raven]

I use sweets for generally anything I would make myself. My family would always call the Buckeyes we would make candy but that always grated me a little lol

[celest maple]

Lmao

[tulip wagon]

Yiiiiikes
That's creepy.
Also, we never get trick or treaters either. There's no love for Halloween in the UK. Makes me so sad.

[celest maple]

I live in a city apartment so can't get any ;-;

[ocean stone]

where I lived it ended up becoming a lot more hyped and the last few years I was there had a bunch of trick or treaters, and some VERY confused parents looking uncomfortable about indulging that activity xD

[nova raven]

Thinking they're saying sweetiest is a commonly used British term for candy. But yes saying Sweetie is more like what you would call someone your close with lol

[tulip wagon]

Dangle goodie bags that look like ghosts off your balcony. Tie them with thread so the kids can break them off. Hang a sign so they know they're allowed to take them.

[celest maple]

I.. that would be a very long string as I'm top floor XD

Plus wouldn't really be any kids around as im directly in the city. Just a lot of drunks and party people going to nightclubs

No kids even in my building. All students and business people

[tulip wagon]

whispers
I live in England!
I am fine when people say "sweets."
It's "sweeties" that comes off wrong.

[cunning grotto]

Have one of them tied to a brick so they can play candy roulette

[nova raven]

yells I AGREE!

Srry I'm not good at tact.

[tulip wagon]

flees in terror

[celest maple]

OH LOL

[zinc scarab]

It’s incredible how the same word can sound really odd and uncomfortable in one place but really friendly in the next

[nova raven]

But speaking of holidays I wonder what ones we'll be getting in Palia! How much will they try to make the holidays original and how many themed decorations we'll get for them.

[tulip wagon]

I need festivals in Palia!

[celest maple]

Y'mean like Aluminium

[tulip wagon]

The eternal debate.

[celest maple]

I prefer the british way XD american way sounds like you're dragging the uuuuuu way too much

[nova raven]

I always say it the american way but the British way is def more fun

[celest maple]

Like a cows trying to say it

[tulip wagon]

They spell it differently too

[cunning grotto]

Mooo

[celest maple]

Aluminum and aluminium

[ocean stone]

lets talk about router

[celest maple]

We pronounce it "rooter"

[ocean stone]

yeah no

[tulip wagon]

Shockingly, aluminum pre dates aluminium

[celest maple]

Then theres "rowter"

Oh americans adopted their spelling of it before we did, ours just became accepted i believe

[zinc scarab]

some words creep me out more depending on what city I’m in—New Orleans, for example, people called me “baby” and “sweetie” a lot but it didn’t feel weird bc like everyone there did it

but if a stranger called me sweetie anywhere else I would probably run away

[thin venture]

i don't think anyone except women over the age of 60 should be allowed to call people sweetie

[tulip wagon]

That is a very common thing in the American South. I'm very used to it because I spent some time there. I find it incredibly endearing.

[celest maple]

I'm melting mate ;-;

[zinc scarab]

It was actually super nice while I was there but I don’t live in the south so it’d be really really uncomfortable near where I live

[tulip wagon]

I prefer equality.

[celest maple]

My usual is i say "Y'alright darlin"

But I'm a british mum so..its expected of us

[ocean stone]

Y'alright makes Americans think something about us looks like we are NOT alright lol

[tulip wagon]

Context is everything. Gotta take this stuff on a case by case basis. Older folks call me "dear" a lot and it gets used in the same way, so I'm fine with it.

[cunning grotto]

I'm sorry but I'd be very uncomfortable if some random 8 y/o came up to me and said "hey sweetie"

[thin venture]

hahaha

[tulip wagon]

This creeped me out just reading it

[cunning grotto]

[celest maple]

I posted a sexy photo of a british ice lolly in food.

[celest maple]

I mean.. we aren't alright though. Sniffles

[tidal silo]

this is the way

[ocean stone]

fab 🍦

[thin venture]

something something rain

[celest maple]

I bought the family pack.. i live alone

[tulip wagon]

I'm so mad at the weather people.
They have been promising me rain for days.
ALL LIES

[ocean stone]

time for rain dance in Palia

[celest maple]

I want rain right now. I've been nude for 3 days straight, I WILL take my skin off next.

[tulip wagon]

Sacred Palian Rain Dance

[thin venture]

spooky

[celest maple]

I'll be a spooky scary skeleton by the end of it

[ocean stone]

at least your halloween decorations will be set

[thin venture]

but then when winter comes you gotta put it all back on

[celest maple]

Pure effort

Im gonna go dive into my shower and put the cold on full. Wish me luck.

[nova raven]

Jesus you're insane!

[zinc scarab]

I hope there’s rain in Palia

[tulip wagon]

Me too

[tidal silo]

is there seasons?

[tulip wagon]

Rain is awesome

[zinc scarab]

We don’t know yet

[nova raven]

There's nothing quite like a sweet southern woman at a diner saying, "What can I get you baby?"

[tulip wagon]

I want full blown thunderstorms

[zinc scarab]

It’d be nice if rain also automatically watered all the crops

[celest maple]

God that felt good

[zinc scarab]

Watering ~1000 tomato plants every day by hand would get tiring after a bit

[celest maple]

They hopefully will, stardew had that going for it.

(Annnnd I'm too hot again..sdmnfngskdbngksbkdjgf)

[tulip wagon]

You lowered your core body temp, so I'm guessing you broke a sweat as soon as you got out of the shower

[celest maple]

I'm a chubby girl, i breath and i break a sweat

[zinc scarab]

oh I also hope there’s leaderboards and stuff for neighborhoods (producer of the most crops, best cooks, etc.) bc it’d be a fun way to introduce some competition

[nova raven]

I wonder how often you'll have to water and how weather will change. Cause if it's more dynamic like ffxiv that means you'll probably have rain every few INGAME days but if that waters your plants then you'll basically never have to water them.

[celest maple]

(Whoever grows the biggest squash competition)

[tulip wagon]

I like this plan

[thin venture]

fishing tournament pls

🎣

[celest maple]

Leaderboards are just fun, keeps us on our toes

[zinc scarab]

And they’re interesting to watch

[nova raven]

Anyone do Ishgardian Restoration Skybuilders ranking in FFXIV? I'd love to see something like that!

[celest maple]

Gonna make me some corn on the cob and butter. Random craving. n_n

[woeful sedge]

Happy timezone y’all!!

[craggy niche]

Yo

[hollow tendon]

Hello everybody

[woeful sedge]

How’s everyone doing? Sorry I’ve been a little sparse the last few days

[buoyant heath]

Alright then

[nova raven]

Dad's home!

[celest maple]

Excited for my corn on the cob now ❤️

[tulip wagon]

Still anxiously awaiting access and wildly speculating while we wait.

[woeful sedge]

ooo yum

Love some wild speculation

[tulip wagon]

It tastes better wild!

[buoyant heath]

Awww, shucks

[celest maple]

:p

[tulip wagon]

I've never wanted a spit take emoji so much in my life

[hollow tendon]

I'm excited to having my own little garden in game.

[woeful sedge]

That flew over my head for a bit lol

[hollow tendon]

It is pallio chat we're supposed to chat about the game a little bit.

[celest maple]

We try but it strays a lot haha

[tulip wagon]

It's done when the popping gets 2 or 3 seconds apart

[celest maple]

I'd be worried if mine started popping as its not supposed to be popcorn haha

[tulip wagon]

I hope we get popcorn in game, and that we have to make it ourselves with corn we grew in the garden

[woeful sedge]

Is this still a euphemism or are we talking about the game again

[tulip wagon]

Yes?

[celest maple]

Lmfao ffs

[buoyant heath]

Global warming

[celest maple]

Feels like that in the UK right now lol

[dark glade]

hi

[woeful sedge]

Ikr, that must be bad if you don’t have air conditioning

[nova raven]

Hmmmm I wonder if food will have different animations for eating them or if they would just make emotes for eating different foods.

[tulip wagon]

No one has air con here

[celest maple]

Like different animation for Soup and Pizza and such?

Imagine drinking popcorn

[nova raven]

Yea

[woeful sedge]

Mhm, would be a waste of money most of the time I bet

[nova raven]

It would also be great if every food just had a different eating animation if you could let the animation go for a long time or even just until you decide to stop

[tulip wagon]

It's complicated.

[nova raven]

Thinking eating at the tavern while having a conversation and just chilling vibes

[tulip wagon]

THIS is what I look forward to in game.

[woeful sedge]

Yesss!!!

[celest maple]

It is bad, my best idea was crank my fridge freezer (its a fridge under a counter with a tiny freezer in the top part) up to max and put a bottle of tap water on the top shelf. Its ICE cold. Best idea i've ever had.

[woeful sedge]

ooo that’s smart

[celest maple]

Saves making loads of ice cubes now :3

That waters as cold as the frozen section in shops now

[tulip wagon]

A certain someone left the ice on the counter this morning when they left the house and I didn't go down to the kitchen until lunch time.
Much puddle awaited

[celest maple]

Oof

My ex did that, kept leaving the ice tray out

[tulip wagon]

We do ice in bags cause our freezer is smol

[midnight mantle]

Hello world!

[tulip wagon]

I noticed a nice fridge in the Palia trailer

[woeful sedge]

Hiii

[midnight mantle]

How is everyone?

[vagrant wagon]

heylo

[woeful sedge]

Working

[midnight mantle]

Oh man, me too. Hugs!

[tough crypt]

Add another one to the work list! Hope everyone is doing well :)

[celest maple]

Mmm corn ❤️

[lunar rapids]

hello!

[celest maple]

Henloo

I hate working on my vroid meshes ;-;

Sending good vibes

[nova raven]

Lm@o I read that while looking at your profile pic and it left a hilarious image in my head.

[celest maple]

Huh O_O

K o R n

My pfp is me n_n

Ok I believe you

[tulip wagon]

Rin is awake! We are saved!

[celest maple]

Theres a lot of proof its me haha

[warm plover]

im hungry :(
not for corn specifically but hearing people talk about corn is making me hungry

[woeful sedge]

Rinnnn!

[warm plover]

yoooo snivy

[celest maple]

Well I just had some KFC myself

[nova raven]

I just thought it went well with what you were saying lol

[celest maple]

Ahh ok XD

[nova raven]

Life imitating art!

[celest maple]

Art imitating life

Trying to recreate myself in vroid (how i look on my pfp) but its stressing me out, tempted to just hire someone

[woeful sedge]

Omg from the small picture I thought your pfp was a drawing the whole time

[celest maple]

Nopes its me ^^;

[lunar tundra]

Morning Palia chat!

[woeful sedge]

Morning Tardis!!

[tulip wagon]

I thought about doing the art challenge this week, but I just don't know if I could bring anything interesting to the mix

[lunar tundra]

and Happy Timezone!

[ocean stone]

i also thought it was a drawing. what is vroid

[celest maple]

Theres no selfie thread or i'd show ya the full picture haha, i do cosplay ect

[ocean stone]

ooo

[celest maple]

Vroid/Vtuber. You not seen them?

[tulip wagon]

Cosplay is love

I love building crazy stuff out of floor mats and hot glue

[celest maple]

If you google Fluffeme all of google images is me pretty much

[ocean stone]

I've seen picrew. Is this the same kinda thing xD

[celest maple]

No its the anime avatars people use for streaming

[nova raven]

Vtuber I'm familiar with but not Vroid. British slang?

[buoyant heath]

I'm actually an animated avatar myself

[celest maple]

No vroids the name of the program you use to make a vtuber lol

[buoyant heath]

I take after my mom

[tulip wagon]

I cannot wait until we start seeing amazing Palia cosplay. You know some crazy genius is going to make an Einar costume

[nova raven]

Ah

[ocean stone]

[Can Confirm]

[ocean stone]

ooo I've seen these before but didn't realize what they were

[celest maple]

There ya go, you know now ^_^

[ocean stone]

my day has been a great success already

[celest maple]

But yeah its a pain to work, lots of layers >_< so i might just pay someone, already got an artist drawing my OC

[woeful sedge]

Hair seems so difficult to do well with it

[wind ibex]

Greetings Palians!

[woeful sedge]

Greetings!

[celest maple]

I'm trying to make horns ;-;

[wind ibex]

For the best texture, try making them out of solid wood.

[woeful sedge]

fun!! But probably really hard :/

[celest maple]

Solid..wood? o_o

[wind ibex]

Yeah, you can get a log, cut it to length with a saw

[ocean stone]

measure once cut twice

[celest maple]

...We're talking about Vroid studio ^^... designing a virtual character, not IRL

[wind ibex]

chisle out the majority of the waste

[celest maple]

In real life i use expanding foam then fortify the outside with EVA foam.. ^^;

[woeful sedge]

what if we could build statues in Palia

[tulip wagon]

I think that was my bad. I was over in the corner by myself talking about cosplay.

[celest maple]

But no we're talking about virtually making one using meshes and layers, not IRL. ^^;

[ocean stone]

but think of the potential of wearing solid wood horns on your head

[celest maple]

Nah Comicon wouldn't let you in

[zinc scarab]

:0 having a sculpting skill would be so cool!!! …I feel like it could very easily be abused though

[ocean stone]

[potential headache]

[tulip wagon]

My neck would never forgive me

[ocean stone]

[potential neckache]

[wind ibex]

Well, right now I 3d modeling to set up building a 50' boat out of EPS foam for work...

[woeful sedge]

Oh yeah no, that would go horribly wrong

[celest maple]

I've gone london comicon since it started, the weight would hurt even as a lightweight wood and can technically be used as a weapon, expanding foam and EVA works great

[ocean stone]

[potential heartache at not being let into Comicon]

[buoyant heath]

I've worn air-dry clay horns on my head and the armature itself gave me a headache

[celest maple]

Yup ^

[buoyant heath]

Then again, that might have been the people I was with.

[ocean stone]

read this as "I've worn air horns on my head"

[zinc scarab]

I have a tic in my neck that makes me fling my head backwards a bit so at any given time said horns could get flung at anyone walking by

[buoyant heath]

https://tenor.com/view/fall-peewee-bike-horn-dottie-gif-7171055

[ocean stone]

opes that person didn't need those eyeballs

[warm plover]

cinnnn gmorning

[tulip wagon]

I'd be tempted to use worbla but it's so expensive. These days I would just make a model and 3d print some horns for lightweight fun

[buoyant heath]

3D printing is fun

[ocean stone]

rinnnn gday/nite

[warm plover]

dadddd gmorning

[celest maple]

Okay figured out to bring the meshes into the head of my VROID, then from there drag my design from the inner mesh to the outer.

I give it 5 minutes before i implode.

I kinda want more corn now.

[buoyant heath]

Ashura VROID

[tulip wagon]

Floof just take a breather before you get too frustrated and speculate about Palia with us!

[wind ibex]

Can someone explain the 8 and 49 thing?

[zinc scarab]

With horns or no?

[celest maple]

I'm dying from this heat, i won't fully function till the sun goes down ;-;

[woeful sedge]

WAIT omg now I want to make sims for Palia characters

[ocean stone]

|| oh noo its a cult ||

[warm plover]

the 8/49 thing is basically ||[REDACTED}||

[wind ibex]

Do you have a fan?

[buoyant heath]

Solid wood horns

[tulip wagon]

1st wave invited for pre alpha were all sent at 49 minutes past the hour. 2nd wave were all 8 minutes past.

[celest maple]

Bought one but doesn't arrive till friday 😦

[ocean stone]

Ye olde OCHOS ...I mean,

[zinc scarab]

When the pre alpha invites were being sent out people realized that emails were delivered at XX:08 or XX:49 so they did the most logical thing and started a cult

[celest maple]

Oh right, 08 and 49 crew

There will be a new number on the next invite send out

[tulip wagon]

I'm in the un-crew. Ain't gots no invite

[celest maple]

Prays i become a part of a crew

[zinc scarab]

I’m not a part of the crew but I was here for the cult bit

[wind ibex]

When you get it, keep a wet cloth in the fridge. Cycle the wet cloths on the back of the fan, and you have an effective swamp cooler. thought it will be less effective in humid areas.

[celest maple]

Its humid here, dead air everyday

[wind ibex]

so what time did the third wave go out?

[celest maple]

We're in a massive heat wave and the airs legit just dead

[zinc scarab]

Never 😔

[buoyant heath]

[tulip wagon]

I have the house to myself today so I can just sit mostly nekkid in front of the fan

[celest maple]

I'm legit nekkid, ish.. mostly

No fan so got my balcony open as far as i can without someone seeing me XD

[warm plover]

samesies

[buoyant heath]

I'm gonna pump the brakes on this conversation before we summon an amphibian

[wind ibex]

I thought the first wave was 200 people, the second wave brought it up to 1200 and the third wave brought it to the current total of 1400

[celest maple]

Lmao

[buoyant heath]

Close, but the second wave was the 1200 that made the total 1400

[zinc scarab]

Nope ;—; first wave was 200 invites and the second wave was 1200

[nova raven]

There's so much talk about cults here lol. I wanna share my cult story but I'm at work and it'll take too long.

[bright forge]

1st 200+ 2nd 1200 =1400

[wind ibex]

Okay, thanks for the clarifications.

[buoyant heath]

I hope the 8th wave invites go out at :02

[tulip wagon]

I get dressed if I go back downstairs. A storm knocked over the neighbour's fence a few months ago, and they don't seem to care about putting it back up so we get no privacy if the curtains are open

[cunning grotto]

Just go downstairs without clothes on, then they'll be motivated to put it back up

[nova raven]

That awkward feeling when you walk pass an open window with nothing but a shirt on.

[ocean stone]

Slick

[wind ibex]

I live in an apartment, my downstairs is a couple of garages...

[tulip wagon]

We have considered this, but fear there may be a high chance of backfire

[celest maple]

OH OH, IM FIGURING OUT HORNS

[wind ibex]

next day they are waiting at the window with cameras

[tulip wagon]

Donald Ducking we call it

[celest maple]

Posted my crappy first horn in arts n crafts

I'm proud of it, even if its way too small XD

[nova raven]

Gross....go on.

[woeful sedge]

It’s a start!!

[ocean stone]

I think I've heard enough here lol

[celest maple]

I just need to make it thicker as its way too flat o___o

[tulip wagon]

It just involves wearing a shirt and nothing else. Although hats are optional. There's no more to it! Nothing gross!

[nova raven]

I'm too curious for my own good lol

[celest maple]

I have a towel and underwear.

Its hot, we don't care for style right now.

We just don't wanna die of heatstroke XD

[buoyant heath]

☠️

[nova raven]

Do I get extra points for whlearing a duck bill, covering myself in feathers' and screaming obscenities in an intelligible tongue?

[tulip wagon]

Nope.

[wind ibex]

To avoid heatstroke, stay hydrated

[ocean stone]

*Palia chat ...... *

To avoid heatstroke, avoid heat

[wind ibex]

not always an option

[buoyant heath]

Which revealed palia character do you think would wear a t-shirt in a hot tub?

[warm plover]

ashura

[ocean stone]

I kid. Also good to keep electrolytes in check and can soak a t-shirt in cool water (then wear it) to help cool

[celest maple]

Teach me how pls

[tulip wagon]

I am literally surrounded by empty 1.5 litre bottles. It's not working! I feel like I looked at the ark of the covenant.

[woeful sedge]

Jel

[ocean stone]

Chapaaaaaa

[celest maple]

But its so humid anything i do like that becomes warm and humid very fast ;-;

[ocean stone]

It should hopefully be better when you get your fan?

[celest maple]

I look forward to it, so much. I'm gonna have it aggressively on in front of me all day

[woeful sedge]

It’ll probably be cold again by the time she gets the fan tho

[celest maple]

Nights aren't too bad.. i can deal with nights as it cools off a little with how high up i am, but because I'm high up im super close to the sun ;-;

[tulip wagon]

I want the rain I've been promised for days...

[wind ibex]

I grew up in southern California, there was a 4 year period where we didn't have AC. I learned to adapt to the heat. cool wet cloths on the back of your neck, drink water or tea, avoid overly salty foods, eat plenty of fruits.

[celest maple]

If it rains I'm laying outside nekkid, no one can stop me Except maybe police

[brittle halo]

I'd settle for an eternal winter rn

[tulip wagon]

I can't... There's no fence

[celest maple]

I have strawberries in, water thats right by the freezer so its ice cold, I'm using a cold wet rag every half hour or so and in as less clothes as possible without feeling like too much of a nudist even in my own home XD

Offal come here m8 i got water bottles that are almost frozen they're that cold. Its sexy.

[wise rapids]

hii

[faint dawn]

Cali has dry heat..
Imagine humidity and no AC
Choke on the air.

[tulip wagon]

Keep in mind that, aside from not being used to the heat, the UK doesn't really have air conditioning and all the buildings are intentionally built to absorb and trap heat. We live in ovens.
People legit start dropping dead when we get past 87° F.

So it's not that we just can't take the heat

[celest maple]

Our country doesn't get heat often, its always a bit of a mixture, I've seen people collapse recently but I'm aware our hottest day is some places coldest. But we just aren't raised in that sort of climate so our bodies are panicking.

[ocean stone]

Yeah the last summer I was there had to string up a tarp to deflect sun from the side of the flat that got sun like all day. Not enough shade bearing trees around either

[tulip wagon]

I've been wanting to do this

[ocean stone]

It was a VAST improvement. 100% recommend if you are able

[celest maple]

Love me Love me, say that you love meeeee

[ocean stone]

Oh no we have lost floof

[woeful sedge]

ugh I hate when people are like “oh you think THATS hot? Here we get 100 degrees every day” and such

[celest maple]

La la laaaa

[faint dawn]

Yeah.. rip people in UK...
It almost sounds like just being outside under a tree would be better than inside...

[celest maple]

That means putting clothes on Laughs hysterically

Hahahaha No

[tulip wagon]

I had to wait. We lost a chunk off the back of the house in one of the nasty storms. It's now been repaired, so I'm just waiting for a day where I won't burst into flames trying to step into the back garden.

[limber yew]

yo

[heavy dew]

You think that’s hot? You should see my looks

[limber yew]

do u play stardew vally guyz?

[tulip wagon]

It absolutely is.

[celest maple]

i dooo

[zinc steeple]

yes. on phone and pc. i'm on year 4

[woeful sedge]

You think that’s hot? swings hair and winks

[brittle halo]

the Irish people are not made for heat, we melt like butter

[violet kernel]

Definitely. Our houses were built with keeping the heat inside in mind.

[warm plover]

our houses were built to keep the head out (australia)
i hate winter teehee

[heavy dew]

Out the window like dogs, or?

[celest maple]

@tulip wagon LOOK AT FOOD

[ocean stone]

Rin how cold does it get where you are

[celest maple]

Its turning to ice, its so beautiful..... its so cold..... oh god yes.

[warm plover]

uh... i think the coldest i checked it at was 14C (not counting nighttimes)

at night i think i saw it go down to 3C once 🤔
i was shivering a lot, even with three blankets and a gown

[tulip wagon]

I lived on the East Coast when they got hit with that earthquake a few years back. Everyone on the west coast was like "Boo hoo, we get worse than that all the time!"
Yeah. You get it all the time. The buildings are designed to wiggle because you get them all the time. The tectonic plates are worn because you get them all the time.
Guess how fun it was to be in a very large office building with no earthquake evacuation procedures in place. That little quake was felt all the way up to Canada, and the chaos was no joke.

[heavy dew]

That’s an Offal lotta text

[celest maple]

Even my strawberries are part frozen, this is good.

[tulip wagon]

goes to look at food, as ordered

[celest maple]

Its the sexiest thing in existance

[woeful sedge]

That’s stinks, cold enough to be bad but not enough that you get to see snow

[warm plover]

i dont think ive ever seen snow
i have like one memory of it but that mightve been artificial snow from going to some sort of playground when i was a kid
i dont remember

[woeful sedge]

And that just shows how different things are in different places, because here 14 C is like a perfect temperature

[nova raven]

I haven't seen enough snow

[celest maple]

7 C is good for me, not hot, not cold.. just right.. Because apparently I'm goldielocks

[warm plover]

for me the perfect temperature is like... 22 maybe lol

[nova raven]

Last December we got a good chunk. I went outside and made A snowmoogle and a little hut for him to live in!

[woeful sedge]

Aww

[peak monolith]

Moogle? :3

[woeful sedge]

Yeah that still sounds nice

[celest maple]

Moogles are the cutest ❤️

[nova raven]

I posted a pic in art's and crafts of it!

[celest maple]

Posted my horns in art too, finally understanding how to do it ❤️

Gonna try and get a nice curve on it :3

[peak monolith]

Adorable!!!!

[nova raven]

Thanks you. hoping to get into more artsy stuff.

Actually posted question in community art if any of you would like to help a fella out!

[celest maple]

I can't help with that sadly, i draw with a mouse or pencil and paper ;-;

[tulip wagon]

The amazing pic of Jina in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art
made me post one of my projects in #🎨│artistry

[celest maple]

Presses save for the first time since i started the horns O_O ...i gotta stop doing that

[tulip wagon]

Omg SAVE

[celest maple]

I do it all the time with my art ;-;

Games too

[tulip wagon]

Madness!

[nova raven]

This has literally made me stop playing games. Play for hours without saving, turn off the game, then come back later to realize what I did. Completely kills the gaming vibe.

[celest maple]

Yup, all that work gone. I end up not touching that game again for years sometimes

oooo 10 followers away from 1,000 on twitter. Yoo

[nova raven]

This has also stopped me from continuing animal crossing saves. Less from the previously mentioned feeling, but more from the fear of Mr. Resetii coming to yell at me.

That man gave me PTSD

[tulip wagon]

I learned the hard way. I spent all day on a digital piece once, one I was really unusually happy with, and it the program crashed. Lost everything. Since then I am always saving.

[serene stratus]

Good timezone all

[celest maple]

Hey!

[nova raven]

Wait I think I saw a video for this

[celest maple]

Maybe i should bake a cake when i hit 1k on twitter

Plus an excuse to bake a cake.

[worldly lily]

Hello all 🙂 just popping in for a bit 🙂

[celest maple]

Oh damn its my birthday in just 2 weeks O_O

[tulip wagon]

Who needs an excuse to bake a cake?

[cobalt adder]

Good morning, good day, good evening and goodnight to all fellow Paliatines.

[nova raven]

🎂

[serene stratus]

So have we figured out every single detail from the official art yet? 🤣

[nova raven]

Still going through the code of the post to see if we can find any hidden meaning

[zinc scarab]

There seems to be a greenhouse behind the actual house

[buoyant heath]

https://tenor.com/view/enhance-gif-10953787

[nova raven]

O dang you just reminded me about season crops! I wonder If that's gonna be a thing.

[zinc scarab]

Oh yeah! I didn’t even think about that

[quick sparrow]

woo, timezones ❤️

[celest maple]

Wake me up, before you go gooooo

[buoyant heath]

Like a harvest of crops in fall?

[nova raven]

Yea, since most of those games go off the basis that you're progressing through the year

[serene stratus]

The Stardew Valley greenhouse is OP

[nova raven]

Could possibly make it so that you can grow whatever whenever but maybe give some kind of bonus for growing in season crops. Like bigger yields or something.

[neon coral]

checking if i have beta yet.

nope

[marble hedge]

There isn't a beta yet

There isn't even an alpha yet

[nova raven]

Maybe he's the first one to get it!

I wonder how involved all the activities will be. I know they said fishing will be similar to Stardew Valley's finishing but if everything else will just be click and done.

[celest maple]

Yeah theres nothing yet, just building lists of people ready to join the Alpha

[iron pagoda]

Are you from the future? What does Palia look like out there? Is it everything we dreamed of?

[celest maple]

Wonder when next beta invites will go out!?

[rose cedar]

pre-alpha is capped already (1400 invites) no word of any tests after pre-alpha.

[gloomy vine]

Hopefully not to soon. I broke my computer... It would suck if I got in and couldn't play

[tulip wagon]

There is no beta. Only Zuul.

[rose cedar]

Are you the keymaster?

[serene stratus]

Boooo I was just going to quote that xD

[marble hedge]

Then, during the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you!

[buoyant heath]

You're right. No human being would stack books like this.

[warm plover]

dad changed neighbourhoods again

[celest maple]

Hi

[gloomy vine]

Hello

[undone rover]

👀 hi

[merry crater]

Good day everyone.

[pliant raven]

Good morning spuds.

[soft grove]

Heyo!

[nova raven]

Sup

[celest maple]

Hai

[surreal widget]

High

[tulip wagon]

What crops would you like to see in Palia?

I'm hoping for tea and cabbages.

[celest maple]

Coffee beans, Pumpkins ect

[warm plover]

MY CABBAGES

Sometimes I type with the wrong keyboard enabled and the whole message ends up looking like a disaster
just now i accidentally typed MYかっばげＳ

[drowsy scarab]

Beans! And for some reason zucchini.

[serene stratus]

Honestly, the more the better. Dozens? Enough ingredients to make a wide variety of foods. A la Pam's Harvestcraft mod in Minecraft, anyone? It'd be fun gameplay for those who like to collect, and also if we could sell our organic creations 🥞

[tulip wagon]

🥬

[drowsy scarab]

Herbs would be cool too.

[serene stratus]

🥨

[cedar fractal]

Not zucchini

[little silo]

Greetings Citizens. What's happening today?

[tulip wagon]

Why not?

[cedar fractal]

Because it is courgette

And no-oone ever regionalises for the UK

[tulip wagon]

It's both. We can happily coexist.

[cedar fractal]

so we end up with loads of stuff we have to keep googling to figure out what it is

[tulip wagon]

I am always happy to translate

[cedar fractal]

which is a little irksome to say the least

[celest maple]

Up to the creators what they call it really.

[merry crater]

Yeye. Tea and coffee would be cool~ And an herb garden <3

I just want all the crops.

[cedar fractal]

Just have stuff that only has one name - much easier!

[celest maple]

I don't personally mind what they're called, you can tell by looking at them what they are Icon wise

Thats impossible now lol each country has different names for things even in different languages

I personally don't care tbh

[cedar fractal]

Well, courgettes look like marrows, and spring onions look like leeks

[tulip wagon]

I do consider UK English and US English separate languages. There's enough regional slang to spin your brain noodles.

[cedar fractal]

Indeed

[celest maple]

Not that much of a biggy tbh

[merry crater]

Spring onions are different enough.

I recently learned bell peppers are called something else outside the US and it blew my mind.

[tulip wagon]

I speak both fluently, so I'm fine with both.

[celest maple]

Mm love spring onions

[warm plover]

Tea and coffee only if I can have honey, sugar and milk

[buoyant heath]

Can confirm

[celest maple]

Likewise!

[warm plover]

dad did you really manage to just dad joke me with your goddamn nickname

[merry crater]

Honey and milk is a wonderful combo with tea!!! I agree.

[tulip wagon]

Mad Dad skillz

[warm plover]

i havent tried milk with tea but i usually have it with coffee

[safe fern]

Happy timezone ^^/

[nova raven]

Tea would be amazing!

[drowsy scarab]

We actually call zucchini a summer pumpkin. 🤷

[celest maple]

Leaving my vroid/vtuber alone for now, posted her in art. My brain will implode if i do it all day in this heat.

[safe fern]

If we can grow different herbs to make tea and they have various effects I will be very happy

[warm plover]

I am a soft child and cannot consume The Bitter™️
so i put sweet stuff in my drinks

[nova raven]

I can see that.

[random wedge]

hello~

[nova raven]

I've learned to enjoy unsweet tea. Taste like healthy.

[little silo]

faints in Southerner

[tulip wagon]

I love me some brown water. It's refreshing and delicious!

[warm plover]

I have a Live2D model that I commissioned due to an artist recommendation from an acquaintance
im trying to get into streaming again... perin saw me last night lol

[merry crater]

I can do dark chocolate/tea/coffee but green vegetables hit me with a different kinda bitter.

But ye adding extra flavor is nice regardless.

[celest maple]

Black coffee for me ❤️

No sugar~

[little silo]

Unsweet tea is not fit for human consumption.

[warm plover]

i cant do black coffee or regular tea
tea just tastes like hot leaf juice

[tulip wagon]

I might be the only person in the UK who isn't fond of black currant

[nova raven]

Lol I'm from the south and grew up on sweet tea so I know you're feel. We'd dump 2 cups of sugar into a galleon of tea.

[small hinge]

Morning folks

[tulip wagon]

That bitter aftertaste just rubs me the wrong way

[random wedge]

and coffee just tastes just like dirty hot bean water

[warm plover]

yes
i drink water like a normal person

[mental plaza]

As someone in the UK who likes blackcurrant-

[safe fern]

You very well may be, I love blackcurrant

[serene stratus]

Well now I feel like I need to head to ChickFilA for some sweet tea

[random wedge]

they're banned in the US

[nova raven]

That comment giving me some Zuko vibes. "I cant believe my own nephew would say such a thing."

[merry crater]

Wat

[safe fern]

Excuse me?

[warm plover]

yeah i was quoting zuko (mightve misremembered tho)

[tulip wagon]

I love it if there's just a hint of it. But once there's enough for the bitter to hit me I can't even.
I feel the same about grapefruit.

[little silo]

Eh, anywhere but CfA. Go to a What-a-burger, they are not run by homophobes.

[random wedge]

we don't have them here because they "carry too many diseases" as the USDA puts it

[serene stratus]

I'm in the Northeast, never heard of WhatABurger. Chickfila is all we have up here for sweet tea

[celest maple]

Time to try and make my Katsu curry.. if i don't die from heatstroke in the kitchen ;-;

[merry crater]

I never realized.

[tulip wagon]

Ahh they aren't. The ban was lifted in the 70's, but no one grows them because no one has a taste for them. There's no profit in it.

[little silo]

@serene stratus oh bless, you poor thing!

[merry crater]

Ohh

[random wedge]

oh my mistake

[nova raven]

I think think they're actually building a whataburger near me. They're starting to invade the south

[serene stratus]

Yah we do grab a few gallons when we travel south

[warm plover]

i dont have whataburger OR chick fil a

[safe fern]

Well you're all deprived blackcurrants are wonderful

[tulip wagon]

Nah it may as well be still true. Farmers won't bother with them. They still think of them as an "invasive species"

[random wedge]

yeah, i've certainly never seen them

[nova raven]

How do you not have Chic-Fil-A? I thought they were national lol. Mind Blown!

[warm plover]

im australian

[mental plaza]

Backcurrant Juice has been my favourite for as long as I can remember

[tulip wagon]

If you live in the US, think of how many things are grape flavoured. Now replace all of those with blackcurrant. That's how it is in the UK.

[nova raven]

Ah

[serene stratus]

Chick Fil A is pretty selective on where they franchise

[warm plover]

[mental plaza]

Since... sometime before I was 5yrs old. It's amazing.

[random wedge]

ok but macca's beats any name for mcdonalds

[tulip wagon]

We have no grape anything

[mental plaza]

I have never heard something so truthful.

[mental plaza]

I meant this not the other thing

[safe fern]

Grapes don't taste like anything though

[warm plover]

WANNA HEAD DOWN TO MACCAS IN THE ARVO MATE
i could probably fit more slang in there but to be perfectly honest
i dont understand australian slang at all...

[cedar fractal]

we have ribena and jam in the uk with blackcurrents and thats about it...

[merry crater]

My hubbin and I call McDonalds Maccas and it is a wonderful thing.

[little silo]

CfA can go out of business and I'd not miss them. Can get better chicken sandwiches from just about anyone else.

[tulip wagon]

The wine in my kitchen disagrees

[random wedge]

AYO WANNA GO FOR A MACCAS RUN MATE?

[cedar fractal]

maccy d's? why not

[random wedge]

mickey d's

[serene stratus]

So I wonder if we'll have jellies, jams, or preserves in Palia, some or all types

[warm plover]

But seriously I do feel like I can never contribute to these discussions cause everyone is talking abt american things like chick fil a or walmart or something

i still dont know what walmart sells

[little silo]

Neither of those things are worth missing tbh

[cedar fractal]

walls

[warm plover]

i also still dont understand the whole thing about people running over each other on black friday

[merry crater]

Gotta rep marmalade too. Could totally go for toast and jam rn.

[little silo]

Walmart sells poverty.

[random wedge]

i've still never eaten at chick fil a ... because im gay and that feels-- well bad

[safe fern]

Walmart bought asda here, if that's anything to go by they sell food mainly

[warm plover]

oh yeah all i know abt chick fil a is they make chicken and theyre lgbtphobic and also theyre christian (which is only sometimes related to the last thing)

[merry crater]

Is a terrifying concept and I just stay home during that chaos.

[tulip wagon]

Grats on staying out of the fridge and sweets aisles!

[serene stratus]

I would open up an organic canning store off the side of my house. Assuming we can do that, that is

[tulip wagon]

It's kind of an everything store.

[random wedge]

pro-conversion therapy, conservative

[warm plover]

wow epic

[cedar fractal]

There's not much in the sweet aisles with blackcurrent. just some jaffa cakes that get eaten by 2 people in the country...

[random wedge]

they even sell guns in some states

[merry crater]

Yes! Cute little Palian cannery~

[warm plover]

im also gay so eating there would be like "haha can i get some invasive therapy please ❤️"

[little silo]

Guns and swords here in TX.

[random wedge]

"i'm going to buy a gun at Walmart" - the most american sentence

[serene stratus]

🐢

[random wedge]

swords? HAHA WHAT

[tulip wagon]

Skittles, Starbursts, Fruitella, etc...

[warm plover]

What in the shit is going on in America
The more I hear about y'all the more I'm worried

[little silo]

Swords are unlicensed open carry in TX, and soon guns will be as well.

[serene stratus]

But the next week I'd want to have a tailor store or whatever, so it'd have to be a popup

[random wedge]

I think swords and knives are banned in my state, not sure though it. I've never looked into it

[buoyant heath]

She'll be right.

[cedar fractal]

They are mixed in with other flavours and I suspect most of them aren't made with real blackcurrents

[warm plover]

YOURE TELLING ME PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO JUST WALK AROUND WITH GUNS?

[cedar fractal]

Or taste like actual blackcurrent

[little silo]

Ya

[random wedge]

yepppp

[warm plover]

THAT SHIT ISNT REGULATED?

[random wedge]

poorly

[little silo]

Long-barrel riffles and shotguns already required no license and can be freely carried in public.

[tulip wagon]

I feel like we're summoning the turtle here.

[merry crater]

The beauty of it being a game is you can do whatever you want if you have enough passion and creativity!

[mental plaza]

Here's a statement I read once:

"Canada must feel like the apartment above a meth lab."

[warm plover]

so anyway i have a list of countries id like to go to (switzerland, iceland, japan) but i think america is going on my "never visit" list

[safe fern]

As per usual lol

[random wedge]

ACCURATTTE

[merry crater]

You have to have a liscense where I live and go to a training class.

[warm plover]

canada feels like america's australia

[random wedge]

huh

[little silo]

America is a huge and diverse country. We have our fly-over states, but you really should visit some of our national parks.

[warm plover]

Ok at least that's something

[mental plaza]

America tricked all of us with its films and shows where they "save the day when no one else will".

Then you have things like the Toilet Paper crisis and... weeeeeelllll....

[serene stratus]

🐢 🐢

[buoyant heath]

But we leave out thongs on when we go in the grocery store, mate

[warm plover]

I'll go to Ohio and get lost in the corn

[tulip wagon]

Don't judge the whole place based on the crazy that manages to get shouted about. There are beautiful places there, and beautiful people. Just like everywhere else.

[celest maple]

Cooking hot food in this heat may kill me, but damn it smells good

[random wedge]

yeah Open Carry isn't really a thing where I live, Concealed Carry only. And it's only handguns, no shotguns or long barreled, etc.

[little silo]

TX is just trying to regress back to its wild west days. They saw the progress in progressive and said none for me plz

[warm plover]

I'm sure there are good things too
but the scary stuff is really prominent...

anyway 🐢

[serene stratus]

If we can't do sales on our homeplots, I wonder if there will be some type of fleamarket place where we can rent tables or whatnot to sell our wares 🧀

[digital merlin]

That's about the only thing you can do in Ohio

[tulip wagon]

Right... back on topic.
What is your favourite fish? And if you can catch it in Palia, would you want to eat it or keep it as a pet?

[merry crater]

I would love this. I think similar suggestions have been made.

[celest maple]

Salmonnnn

[warm plover]

@static walrus if you need help with the prealpha stuff, it might be worth DMing Neleimour, WizardCrab or WhoaNonstop about helping you, if you filled it out late.

[celest maple]

I love eating salmon with honey drizzled on it and a bit of chili oil ❤️

[cedar fractal]

Salmon tikka, spicy

[serene stratus]

Having an ingame aquarium would be awesome for unique home decoration!

[random wedge]

yeah, american laws suck. it's getting better though, they recently lifted the law where if you kill someone and make the claim "Oh they were gay and hitting on me, It made me scared and uncomfortable." you just wouldn't go to jail at all.

[safe fern]

Yeah I've suggested this informally, it's be nice to have an in-game weekend market where you apply for a stall, and then things could be brought from afar by the players that prefer travelling

[celest maple]

Imagine, having an ingame aquarium and you got a shark in it on its own XD

[zinc scarab]

That’d be so cool :D I’m really looking forward to the in-game economy

[wind ibex]

This is the USA, the more regulated guns are, the more people are killed with them. Because the people who commit gun crimes don't care about regulation.

[mental plaza]

Strangely, I want one of those fish that looks like an alien. Just.. completely monstrous. like the Black Dragonfish.

[surreal crest]

GOOOD morning!

[cedar fractal]

Evening!

[tulip wagon]

I know someone here that would pay good money for that

[warm plover]

Hi chair chair

[little silo]

Pretty sure I've seen data that disproves that...

[serene stratus]

Stardew Valley has several sizes of home aquariums you can populate with your fish catches, in addition to decor stuff like coral, rocks, etc

[celest maple]

Palia subject <_<;;;

[surreal crest]

Hi Rin Rin

[wind ibex]

Compare texas to chicago.

[celest maple]

Lets steer clear of the gun talk ^^

[tulip wagon]

Oooh I like that!

[warm plover]

hmm... i tried pinging someone here with an answer to their question in #851872239435644928 but im worried they didn't see it
would dming them be weird...

[buoyant heath]

🐢 WARNING 🐢

[serene stratus]

That's hella rude dude

[celest maple]

^ Did he just say to suck his di...

[wind ibex]

What does that say?

[random wedge]

yep

[merry crater]

Can someone explain the 🐢 to me. I think I get it but want more context.

[celest maple]

I thought so, im part spanish but only know some bits, but the di- word i learned fast

[worthy fjord]

hi, what are you talking?

[tulip wagon]

Turtle comes in often to keep us on topic

[warm plover]

theres a mod called turtle and they use the turtle emoji a lot (same with duck, who uses the duck emoji)

[small hinge]

There’s a vocal mod named Green Turtle who does their best to keep this place on topic.

[merry crater]

That's what I thought. Thank you~

[tulip wagon]

We love our duck and turtle

[little silo]

Especially in a dish

[zinc scarab]

all the mods are great

[warm plover]

also how many of you guys speak spanish anyway cause i certainly dont know it

[tulip wagon]

Together??? How uncouth!

[static walrus]

thank you!

[worthy fjord]

me

[warm plover]

Ah you saw it :)

[wind ibex]

Do you think we'll be able to have folding chairs we can take with us to go fishing?

[small hinge]

Turtle and ducks can be land/aquatic mounts…also want a red cape glider with a turtle emblem

[random wedge]

I speak a little, but the only other lan. I'm actually fluent in is ASL

[little silo]

Well in separate courses, naturally!

[small hinge]

I hope we can sit while fishing either on the bank or a chair

[merry crater]

Now all I can think about is what Ashura running a Palian burger shop would look like.

[warm plover]

I'm fluent in English and that's it

[zinc scarab]

S a m e

[wind ibex]

I am the same Rin, google translate is my friend

[tulip wagon]

Now I need a giant tortoise as a mount. I'll get where I need to go....eventually

[random wedge]

I still struggle with that one

[surreal crest]

I'm in the process of clearing Einar from all the green stuff that's growing on him

[little silo]

I know enough Spanish to order from a food truck.

[warm plover]

I know a little Japanese but it's baby level

[random wedge]

same tbh

[wind patio]

im fluent in english yay

so im fluent in 2 languages

[merry crater]

What if he likes being green.

[mental plaza]

If there aren't mounts in this game, I'll miss out on riding a tree.

[surreal crest]

I'm native in Polish

[tulip wagon]

Pretty sure that's what's holding Einar together

[mental plaza]

Living trees you can grow and tame... make it possible.

[random wedge]

hm whats your native tongue?

[wind patio]

finnish

[surreal crest]

too bad, he's stuck in my GIMP file now.

[mental plaza]

How'd you colour your names?

[buoyant heath]

#📃│server-directory

[little silo]

Role selection.

[serene stratus]

Taste the rainbow

[worthy fjord]

I'm gorgetting my baby level japanese

[merry crater]

I haven't seen someone use Gimp in over a decade. Has it aged well?

[little silo]

@buoyant heath, can you confirm rumors that the pre-alpha is any good?

[marble hedge]

I used to do photoshop battles in Gimp....

[warm plover]

I used to use GIMP... color select my beloved

[random wedge]

same, learned hiragana and katakana but memorizing kanji made me sad

[worthy fjord]

what do you think about having events like some gymkhana that one could do alone or in group?

[surreal crest]

hell no, you just get used to how clunky it is. Like I know I can do something much easier in Photoshop, but I got used to Gimp so much that transition is almost impossible for me

[celest maple]

I'm fluent in english but know lots of bits of other languages, mostly the Hi's, How are you, my name is stuff.

[warm plover]

I think all the prealpha testers I asked said the prealpha was good and that their hype for the game is well and truly alive

[serene stratus]

This is accurate

[celest maple]

Ayyy 1000 on Twitter <3

[wind patio]

i know kanji for tree :'3

[little silo]

I was hoping for him to say "Can comfirm"

[random wedge]

I did the same with Paint Tool Sai HAHAH, it's clunky now adays, Sai 2 is fine but I still use the first version even though it feels like i'm back in 2014 lol

[warm plover]

Oh dhsususbjsjjssk sorry

[little silo]

Lmao

[random wedge]

木 the best one ~

[warm plover]

I used SAI once
used vectors to draw a decent Gaster Undertale on a trackpad

I know the kanji for grass because it basically means "lmao"

[merry crater]

I loved SAI <3

[random wedge]

"人" is the first one I learned, meaning person.

[tulip wagon]

I don't speak many languages, but I've absorbed enough of a few select ones to understand a conversation.

[wind patio]

i learned kanjis for japan

[tulip wagon]

I still love SAI

[merry crater]

Speaking of different languages I hope there's at least lore references to different languages or runes in Palia.

[warm plover]

I should do that Offal
i should sink myself into the japanese pool and learn to understand/speak it better

[random wedge]

Like for a trip?

[serene stratus]

Immersion in a foreign country absolutely helps you learn the language better

[warm plover]

I know how to write my alias in kanji bc i had nothing better to do with my time

[tulip wagon]

It's nice to not have to read a lot of subtitles unless an odd bunch of words pop up

[little silo]

I spent 2 weeks immersed in China... I ended up simply hungry...

[buoyant heath]

That's what I kept telling myself until they let me out of that prison

[warm plover]

Maybe I should listen to Japanese streamers in the background....
I've gotten really into Nijisanji lately

[random wedge]

I love that too, but I still can't understand the weird dialects they sometimes use HAHAH

[random wedge]

I found that really helps to learn, especially the "[JP/ENG]" ones

[oblique nest]

hey for you guys that are interested in learning a new language,
know that I learned English basically from playing a lot of Videogames and watching TOO much youtube

[little silo]

Native born 'Merican and I still can barely English.

[oblique nest]

i think it helps that you try to watching something you already are kind of familiar with, then you can kinda link between keywords they are using

[tulip wagon]

I watch a lot of foreign language television to keep from losing the skill

[mental plaza]

Watching foreign shows is the best way to learn a language, I think.

[warm plover]

Hmm... I guess I can try to play games in JP too
cant wait to not be able to figure out the controls

[random wedge]

@tulip wagonI forgot what it was but I was recently watching something and there was a kid playing baseball or something and I just could not understand a single word

[worthy fjord]

videogames, movies, and reading for me, had really bad teachers

[little silo]

I just can't learn that way :/

[random wedge]

it's crazy how different JP dialects can be

[buoyant heath]

Can confirm

[oblique nest]

i heard anime is absolutely NOT a good source for learning jp tho lol

[random wedge]

no of course not

[warm plover]

oh yeah anime characters speak in ways no human being ever does

[tulip wagon]

That happens to me when I stay late at the pub.
