Hmmyeah, only my brother never targeted certain people, it was more in the moment and I think his reason was to laugh, chatter and bond with his friends that were around

[zinc scarab]

hopefully people are nicer after quarantine I haven’t seen them all in a while, maybe they’ve found someone else to make fun of TuT

[neat lichen]

I absolutely have my fingers crossed for you ❤️

[short thorn]

Targetting can be as simple as "oh let's mess with that guy, he looks fun to mess with". Doesn't have to be a specific target over and over

And hopefully! Just do the best you can, Mango.

[zinc scarab]

I r e a l l y hope there’s a chat system filter for bullying in Palia, I use games as an escape and I don’t want to have a terrible day and then get made fun of online :(

[neat lichen]

true! It were never long-term targets, but mostly people who annoyed him or did something/looked weird to him

[heavy dew]

I feel bad for kids in terrible homes, imagine quarantine if you have a violent drunk father and school is the only place you have

[neat lichen]

Like, I have a very light form of autism, and when we were younger, he would also pick a bit on me for being somewhat atypical x)

[short thorn]

They could base it off of FF14's filters! You rarely see any toxicity and even stuff like mentioning DPS or charts can be a bannable offense. It's all just to play and have fun there

[zinc scarab]

That’d be really great ^^

[neat lichen]

I feel for them too :(

[neat lichen]

Or maybe player volunteers that keep an active eye on chat and regularly report, a bit like OSRS player moderators

[short thorn]

Ye! But you will do good. You'll do well in life and you're already major steps ahead of those bullies. if you need to talk to someone I'm happy to listen if you need a hard of hearing ear lol. Do your best and come out the other end strong, and better than those who harassed you

[neat lichen]

Well, not regularly maybe, but actively when they see it

[zinc scarab]

I feel like that could go really badly though

[short thorn]

Hm, could be nice but you'd have to take in account player bias. What would they deem as offensive, and would it be immediate grounds for banning, or would they have to go through a moderator to take action, etc?

[neat lichen]

I'd definitely always let it go through a moderator

[short thorn]

Like a player could see you joking with friends as an inside joke, and something would be deemed offensive to just theplayer moderating, but to pretty much no one else

[heavy dew]

I think Matthews hard hearing ear is better than mine xD glad you’re a kind soul Matthew

[neat lichen]

And not give a special reward to those volunteers, maybe just encouraging the community to do so will work the same

[short thorn]

Nah I got a black hole for a heart but it also sucks away all the bad things and negativity so use it to your heart's content

It also sucks away all the heartburn I get from eating greasy food, and all the fat that would usually make me 20 pounds overweight, but instead be slim as a whistle

[heavy dew]

I’m too emotionless to help, all I see is equations

[neat lichen]

I think the main demographic will be people who are against toxicity in general

[short thorn]

God bless your soul if all you see is math

[cinder temple]

Hopefully Palia will have a robust system with which to report bad behavior and a paid team of support staff to review those reports to prevent that system from being abused by people who are hoping it's automated.

[heavy dew]

Literally not joking or exaggerating

[neat lichen]

And appeals for when a mistake was made maybe, like the example of banter with friends

[short thorn]

If it's player participation in moderation, there would have to be a council of sorts to help filter what would be deemed bad or etc

[heavy dew]

I’d like this yeah

And not some auto mod bot that lets 90% of reports off

[neat lichen]

True, it could be nice to have some voluntary players in your "staff" to ease up the workload, but bias and bad choice in people is definitely a problem that that could bring with it

[heavy dew]

Takes a feeling human to be able to solve human problems

[short thorn]

Like if someone says an obvious bad word or harasses others, then the council can deem it as bannable, then pass it through moderators through a vote. But if someone says something that's like uh... idk "I'm not sure about going vegan, not for me but you do you" and someone deems that offensive, the council can overrule it since it's not offensive, it's an opinion and it's something that doesn't exhume toxicity

[neat lichen]

Lots to think about for the devs hehe

[short thorn]

That being said you should all make me head councilor

[cinder temple]

Report-bombing is a form of harrassment in games where groups will submit reports on a single person in hopes of triggering an automatic ban. In most games, doing this is punishable by having your account terminated, but sometimes only after the damage has already been done.

As for player volunteers, no. Good intentions, but I'd rather just have a good reporting system that anyone could use rather than the headache of selecting minimods.

[heavy dew]

Despise that more companies are movies for automated customer support, like damn let me talk to a carbon based life form

[zinc scarab]

What about a celestial life form

[neat lichen]

I can respect that ^_^ Then they best have a good paid staff team for community support

[heavy dew]

I only know about 1 other than me and that’s Jules cause she’s definitely to good to be human but if they got a god I’d talk to them too

[short thorn]

I remember when I played WoW, there was a exp potion buff that you could stack, and I figured this out. So I stacked a lot, see how far it went and opened a ticket to talk with a GM. They said I wouldn't be punished for using it since I was testing it.

Few days later I got hit with a 2 day ban and I think I caused the mass banning of players for them abusing the exp potions ;;

[heavy dew]

This wasn’t for me was it Sim

[zinc scarab]

you guys are so cute omg

[neat lichen]

Wew

[cinder temple]

I do everything for you, Lord Berry.

[neat lichen]

Imagine if Sim got everyone but Berry on mute x)

[zinc scarab]

You are Berry wdym

[short thorn]

Ah do you need a celestial being? I'm more of a Cosmic being who has been here since the beginning of time, but if it's okay I'll take a gander

[heavy dew]

What do I even say to that Sim, love you too

[zinc scarab]

Self love is important

[neat lichen]

Y'allz adorable

[heavy dew]

I get plenty of that xD

Narcissism! Wooo!

[short thorn]

Is Sim, Berry's way of practicing self love

[autumn nexus]

Oh

[zinc scarab]

no

[autumn nexus]

If you want something to always love you then get a dog

[short thorn]

Hmm so dilemma

[autumn nexus]

Can confirm that it works

[neat lichen]

Dogs are always ready to party. You get excited out of nowhere? Doggo joins in!

[short thorn]

If you could have someone in your life who could be your best friend, sister, brother, wife, boyfriend, bodyguard, and etc. They could be the closest companion you could ever have, but they have a life span of 9 years, would you take it?

[autumn nexus]

DOG

[short thorn]

I'm talking more humanized ofc, and more akin to android-esque stuff

[autumn nexus]

but dogs

[neat lichen]

I wish Palia was out already so I could check out all the cool pets (if they wold be added) and pick my favourite, and name then and love them ❤️

[cinder temple]

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

[heavy dew]

^ Sim is so wise

[zinc scarab]

Like, an actual currently-existing person to assume one of those roles? Or would I get to design an entirely new person

[short thorn]

I would to be honest. To have someone who could take me for who I am, not care about my disability and even help accomodate it. To see me as precious no matter what.

[short thorn]

I would say you get to design one. Like an android you can create from scratch

Or you could base it off a loved one who passed away even

[neat lichen]

The movie A.I. vibes

[autumn nexus]

Lifespan of 9 years sounds scary

[zinc scarab]

Then heck yes

[heavy dew]

But dogs

[short thorn]

Lol, they get to be your best friend and whoever you want them to be. I would too.

[autumn nexus]

This conversation is giving me Cortana vibes

[short thorn]

I'd cry to no end when it's time to part but I'd love and cherish them for as long as they live

[zinc scarab]

My childhood imaginary friends could be real that’d be so great

[heavy dew]

Alright then would you rather have and irl best friend or an internet one

[short thorn]

Ye! The gal from my dreams could be real too 😄

All I really want is someone to look at me and not my hearing aids, and still see me as someone precious to them, and not a burden

[autumn nexus]

Why would anyone look at you differently if you have a hearing aid?

[zinc scarab]

I’d want someone who I met online at first but then became an irl friend

[short thorn]

You'd be surprised how cruel the people I grew up with could be lol

[neat lichen]

The dog we have at home comes from a shelter and we're just so happy we could save her from that concrete box there and give her a warm home and lots of toys and walkies. Even if it's only for a period of our life, I'm happy we could make the rest of her life the best we could give her.

[autumn nexus]

That sucks to hear 😦

[heavy dew]

Or how cruel humans are in general to people who are different

[autumn nexus]

and yes!! 🙌 a dream!

Unfortunately younger people don't have a filter for anything that they say.

[short thorn]

Thing is, humans come from a species of hominids who survived through violent and war-like behavior. That passed on and we only learned to be nice because of the expectation of something being given in return. Then we turned it into a trade, then favors, and it eventually evolved into doing good and being nice for the sake of just being nice, and we call that modern behavior "human"

Lol, yeah I've been hearing a lot of unfiltered stuff lately

[neat lichen]

Very true, unfortunately being "adverse to different people" is in our genes still 😔

[short thorn]

That's why I always say to expand your vocabulary. It's fun to cuss but it just dulls the meaning of what you're trying to say. Say indubitably, indeed, exasperating, instead of shite, arse, etc

[autumn nexus]

Trust me I had a 9 year old the other day say I was ugly because I had a wound on my knee from roller skating.

[neat lichen]

WAT

The logic of kids sometimes baffles me

[wispy meadow]

Yeah....

[heavy dew]

There is non that’s the problem xD

[short thorn]

Haha, kids are unfiltered incarnate. Though their definition of beauty is different from time to time, because many will say what's on their mind, but they will also be at the age to idolize their parents, and regard them as the god and goddesses of beauty, no matter how stunning you are.

That's the main reason why kids say you're ugly even tho you're not

So the whole "Ask kids if you're ugly" thing? Don't do that lol. They'll say you're ugly because their mom has black hair but you have blonde

[autumn nexus]

Just let it go in ear in and the other ear out.

[neat lichen]

And sometimes they understand that it is "funny" to say you're ugly, even though they don't know what it means or does to a person yet

[heavy dew]

Apply this to most people I’d say, asking the “average person” isn’t a good idea xD

[short thorn]

A lot of them look for reactions out of the person they're talking with, because being at the center of attention at that age is feeding their "Center of the universe" mindset most kids develop at that age

[autumn nexus]

I think being center of the universe is more of a teenage thing.

[neat lichen]

Oh how I always thought people were looking at me and judging in my teenage years x)

[zinc scarab]

Judging your own beauty from other people’s opinions is really stupid cause everyone has different ideas of beauty

[autumn nexus]

Trust me I felt like I was more important than anyone else when I was 13

[short thorn]

Well asking anyone isn't a good idea most times, because they'll either butter you up, say something that doesn't line up with what you are and who you are, or not want to hurt your feelings. Beauty is based on the perspective of others haha, hence the cliche saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

[short thorn]

yeah exactly. Beat me to the punch lol

[wispy meadow]

The only exception is kittens. Adorable no matter what

[heavy dew]

Most important person in your life, that will be with you from the first second to the last, who will speak the highest and lowest of yourself and the only person you can truly control, is yourself. So what other people think shouldn’t matter!

[wispy meadow]

Also baby seals. And puppies. And uh....

[heavy dew]

(Reserved for exceptions as always)

[neat lichen]

Quokka's!

With their eternal smile

[autumn nexus]

Dogs exist so hmm

[zinc scarab]

as a teenager currently I would like to say that I’d much prefer to never be noticed, and I think there’s a lot of other people like that too. It’s just that the most attention seeking/confidence ones are the most noticed and hence the stereotype

[heavy dew]

Baby seals.. are so cute.. I want one

[zinc scarab]

YES they’re so adorable

[neat lichen]

Often there's also the bullying motive to "point at" other people to draw away the attention from their own flaws

[wispy meadow]

I also mentioned puppies in the later part

[neat lichen]

sometimes bullies bully to not get bullied themselves

[autumn nexus]

Thank you, bless you heart 🙏

[short thorn]

Trust me I ended up being the "background character" of my high school haha. By then I wasn't too noticed and I kept to myself. Though funnily enough people tried copying my fashion near the last two years, and I ended up blooming into a beautiful hunky flower. I lead the "wear hats in school" rebellion without even trying, and the army combat boot fashion everyone replicated but no one got close to my level

[neat lichen]

Sounds like an awesome time!

[wispy meadow]

I also just existed in high school. :')

[autumn nexus]

That sounds awesome! It is great to be yourself during those years, eventually people will see that and accept you for who you are!

[heavy dew]

Does anyone understand the people that miss high school? Like it wasn’t the worst experience of their life?

[zinc scarab]

dunno who I’ll be in high school but I’m going to keep a journal with every rumor I hear so I can bring it to class reunions years in the future and laugh at all the stupid things we were worried about

[short thorn]

Haha yeah, by that time I was wary of the people in my class bc they weren't BAD, but I just never felt close to them. So I always kept to myself and was very polite in telling people who I didn't care for to "go away"

[heavy dew]

Now that’s a good idea

[neat lichen]

My mom used to tell me that it was as if I had the words "bully me" written on my forehead. Eventually that was easily explained by my autism x) I could sometimes be a bit "weird"; enough to draw the attention of people who like to pick on others unfortunately.

[neat lichen]

Love this idea lol

[vale crypt]

[short thorn]

I never really liked rumors lol. It's coarse and gets everywhere

[heavy dew]

I understood that reference

[autumn nexus]

That is ok, be proud of who you are. Would you rather be generic or different, I know what I would choose.

[neat lichen]

And that one!

[short thorn]

I too understood the reference that you understood my referencing with

[heavy dew]

It is settled then

[wispy meadow]

I like being the background NPC of life

[autumn nexus]

Yes same here!

[heavy dew]

Well you’re at the forefront of my friends of Palia Ana

[neat lichen]

Aww thank you, that's sweet of you ^_^ These days, people have no clue I have autism from my behaviour, which is very nice! I can communicate fluently without any problems now. That might be facilitated by the fact I LOVE psychology and everything around it.

[wispy meadow]

Thanks Berry! So are you 😊

[neat lichen]

When I am happy/giddy, I repeat this a lot, but I love this community <3

[heavy dew]

I took a neuropsychiatric evaluation, best experience of my life, turning point I’d say

Happy to hear you’re solid on your feet as well Pnia ^^

[neat lichen]

Thank you

[short thorn]

I love background characters of anything haha. I remember a huge lesson being taught to me in writing and storymaking. Even the background characters have a soul. They have their own story, life, and happenings outside of the main protagonists.

[autumn nexus]

There is a spectrum for everything, no one is distinctly something.

[heavy dew]

Apart from me of course, I am distinctly perfect 👀

[autumn nexus]

I am glad you feel that way :3

[neat lichen]

Very true! Autism is just something that's diagnosed based on how many/which quirks you have on the autism spectrum. Everyone has some things from it, like being shy (just guessing that's one of the things, but it's pretty typical for autism), but that doesn;t necessarily mean you have autism

[heavy dew]

In all my spectrums! (To prove your point further)

[autumn nexus]

WOAH THERE!

[wispy meadow]

Rainbow spectrum?

[short thorn]

It'sthe radiation spectrum

Rainbows are just showing us the radiations of the world

[wispy meadow]

I was thinking more like the color wheel since Berry is an artist 😅

[heavy dew]

And I hear colors are personalities now so I got all of them

The more you know, learn something every day

[zinc scarab]

That’s a personality disorder Berry

[wispy meadow]

Lmaoo

[heavy dew]

See I got that too, told you, all of it

[wispy meadow]

Wait Berry is canonically a grape right?

[zinc scarab]

berry that’s unhealthy

[wispy meadow]

Or was grape a fruit because I have no idea

[zinc scarab]

Can I have the story behind this statement please

[heavy dew]

Grape is a drupe

[wispy meadow]

No story just my own confusion

[zinc scarab]

oh

[heavy dew]

Which goes in the fruit category but not because it’s in the berry family but it’s not because it’s a drupe

Idk these botanists where on some herbs when they made these rules

[carmine relic]

Aren't bananas also berries

[heavy dew]

Yes they are

[wispy meadow]

Botanists are weird lol

[short thorn]

Anakerio was confused.

Anakerio hurt itself in its confusion.

Battle

[zinc scarab]

Pumpkins are berries

[wispy meadow]

XD

[heavy dew]

Watermelons and pineapples too

[short thorn]

Well pumpkins are fruits

[zinc scarab]

So are avocados

[wispy meadow]

Wait what?!?

[heavy dew]

Guess what, a strawberry is not a berry

[short thorn]

Fruits are edible plants with seeds in them while vegetables are plants with no seeds in them

[neat lichen]

Y'all are making me hungry

[short thorn]

So peppers are technically fruits

[zinc scarab]

Neither are raspberries or blackberries

[short thorn]

Tis why tomatoes are fruits too

[heavy dew]

^ not berries, botanist what are you doing

[wispy meadow]

So anything that has berry in the name is actually a fruit?!?
My life is a lie!!!

[heavy dew]

Botanists yo they wild

[wispy meadow]

Wait so that means you are also a fruit?

[heavy dew]

No I am THE berry

[zinc scarab]

The one and only

[heavy dew]

The category that contains all

[short thorn]

My favorite vegetable are strawberries and my favorite fruits are bell peppers

[wispy meadow]

The one true Berry XD

[heavy dew]

And when I’m sad I’m the blue berry

[neat lichen]

I wonder if, just like with the animals, Palia will create some interesting mythical foodstuffs

or imaginary is a better word

[heavy dew]

Oh I hope so..

[neat lichen]

Maybe the Palia botanists have a bit better logic than irl xD

[carmine relic]

I swear we've seen not-earth fruits or something at some point in the trailer.

[short thorn]

Well botany is really neat

[heavy dew]

Let me just.. copy.. and paste.. there: Oh I hope so..

[wispy meadow]

Lol

[short thorn]

okay I'm getting tired and gonnna sleep soon and see my dream family

[zinc scarab]

I want to bake magical pastries :0

[wispy meadow]

I'm planning on running a Palia Patisserie so you can join me lol

[heavy dew]

Goodnight sweet prince

[short thorn]

If y'all need anything just ping me o/

[zinc scarab]

maybe they’ll give you status effects

[zinc scarab]

YES PLS

[short thorn]

Actually wait don't ping me I'll never find it with the 700 plus messages you guys type in a single hour

[carmine relic]

We already covered good food giving buffs, I think.

[heavy dew]

Could you open up close to me? Could that be arranged per chance?

[wispy meadow]

Sure why not

[short thorn]

Ah she has a partnership with

[zinc scarab]

oh yeah I forgot about that

[neat lichen]

And cooking as a skill in which the food you make will be better with a higher skill level

[short thorn]

oh okay nevermind

[neat lichen]

Cooking neighbourhood? :D

[wispy meadow]

I remember I have a partnership with your inn lol

[carmine relic]

I wonder what the balance of each profession will be among players?

[short thorn]

I've been betrayed OTL

[zinc scarab]

Do you bake the pastries or just run the patisserie, can I be the pastry chef

[heavy dew]

What if I do all of it..?

[wispy meadow]

I can have my place in between your's and Berry's Art Studio

[heavy dew]

Now this is some problem solving skills

[wispy meadow]

We'll have to see how the cooking system is in Palia first lol

[carmine relic]

Won't stop someone else from not doing it

[short thorn]

If we're able to build businesses in the first place. I'm really hoping for my inn but it feels like it's gonna turn right last second and be instanced like homes, or none at all with pre-made buildings ;;

[zinc scarab]

Does it have a name or is it just Palia Patisserie for now

[heavy dew]

You mean to tell me.. more people than me plan on playing? I had no idea

[wispy meadow]

I couldn't think of a name yet 😅
Any suggestions?

[short thorn]

Do you have a theme?

[neat lichen]

Palia Palate, idk

[short thorn]

I love thinking up names lol

[carmine relic]

Yeah! Like me! And you can't stop me!

[wispy meadow]

Cottagecore style of building
Fruits and honey as main ingredients for the cakes

[short thorn]

Well it depends on if it's replicating old 50's soda jerks, or donut shops, or just a regular cafe/bakery combo, etc

Ooh

[heavy dew]

Daydream Dairy if you decide to do ice cream

[neat lichen]

Hi @modern junco I saw your question in #👋│introductions qnd thought it might be better qnswered here

[short thorn]

Cozy Crumbles, or The Hearth and Honey. Something cozy and warm to think of when you think cottagecore

[neat lichen]

The game has a bunch of testers right now and is in pre-alpha. When the next round of testers will be added isn't sure

[short thorn]

You want something that catches the eye, tells you what it is, while also rolling off the tongue

[wispy meadow]

Hm.... I like all the suggestions already 😅

[neat lichen]

The release will be "in less than 3 years"

[heavy dew]

“Much closer to launch than 3 years”

[wispy meadow]

Honey Home Cakes & Confectionary? Idk

[neat lichen]

Oh right 😅

[heavy dew]

I have it memorized xD

[zinc scarab]

The Hearth and Honey is so cute

[carmine relic]

If I ever do something as a job, I'll just make it super hard to find out

[short thorn]

Hearth and Home Honey Comb

[neat lichen]

That's investment and is good :D

[short thorn]

Hearth and Honey is cute!! I love it lol

Makes you wanna cuddle up around a hearth with honey taffy, root beer and a nice big fluffy blanket over you while you just nom nom

[wispy meadow]

Hearth & Honey is winning by a landslide lol

[heavy dew]

Heart wants want the hearth wants, slogan

[carmine relic]

Man, I could go for a nice cold root beer float. I'd kill for that

[zinc scarab]

I can’t comprehend that sentence

[warm plover]

drinking game: take a shot every time someone asks for a release date

[carmine relic]

Rin, are you trying to get us killed

[warm plover]

yes

[heavy dew]

Drink juice, is what he means

[neat lichen]

Drink water, homies

[wispy meadow]

Drink Milkshakes

[heavy dew]

There’s no grownup drinks allowed, we have milk in the tavern

[carmine relic]

Bonus points if the person asking about release date doesn't get what an NDA Is

[neat lichen]

Mmm, smoothies

[short thorn]

Sweets and fire to warm the soul and the heart. How's that for the slogan?

[zinc scarab]

you’d get alcohol poisoning don’t

[heavy dew]

Additional bonus point if they say nothing after getting the answer?

[short thorn]

Or Sweets and fire to fill the belly and warm the heart

[zinc scarab]

Do you have chocolate milk

[neat lichen]

It's 7am where I live, time to hop into my clothes and make a cuppa :D brb

[short thorn]

Is pepsi ok

[heavy dew]

I got cocoa in abundance

[wispy meadow]

Drink soup!

[heavy dew]

I’m gonna link you something

[short thorn]

okok I gotta go for reals this time, the dream missus is waiting on me. Gnight y'all o/

[wispy meadow]

Goodnight Matthew!

[zinc scarab]

pterodactyl screech Absolutely not

[wispy meadow]

Ah the good old Coke vs Pepsi vs Sprite

[zinc scarab]

I can’t drink any of them

[heavy dew]

Vs Red Bull vs water vs <insert trend>

[warm plover]

strawbebby milk

[wispy meadow]

Honey milk tea

[zinc scarab]

Mango nectar

[heavy dew]

You can keep your grass filled warm water :3

[carmine relic]

Coke vs Pepsi, regardless, we all know the waitr will ask if the opposite of your preference is ok

[zinc scarab]

what

[patent adder]

Strawbebby

[heavy dew]

And you’ll pretend to think about it for a second before saying yeah

[heavy dew]

Ana’s tea

[zinc scarab]

Oh

[heavy dew]

Not yours dear ^^

Just don’t go to much cannibal on that mango drink

[wispy meadow]

Lol

[zinc scarab]

too late

[carmine relic]

So how about that Palia

[patent adder]

Milk tea in Palia 👀

[zinc scarab]

What’s Palia

[warm plover]

can you eat it

[heavy dew]

Sorry.. hmm hmm.. payleeuhh

[wispy meadow]

Palia-ntology

[carmine relic]

Pæ-lie-ouh

[zinc scarab]

Ew

That’s the worst way to pronounce it I’ve ever seen

[heavy dew]

Päi-li-uh

Did I make it worse?

[carmine relic]

I will misprönöunce whatever I want

[wispy meadow]

Pay Lia
She's broke

[zinc scarab]

Sucks to be her

[heavy dew]

Nö you will nöt

[zinc scarab]

Ana are we calling it Hearth and Honey for now

[wispy meadow]

Yeah

[carmine relic]

Bröther, may I have some lööps

[heavy dew]

I used to have a joke for this but then I met Jules and I can’t use it anymore

[wispy meadow]

Jules?

[zinc scarab]

I can see this message omg

[heavy dew]

My significant other half

[wispy meadow]

Ahh okay

[zinc scarab]

They’re so cute together

[carmine relic]

I cant remember if I met Jules

[heavy dew]

Where are you even from Gämbit?

[carmine relic]

Land of memory issues

[heavy dew]

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down

^ that’s for you Mango I know you like that one

[warm plover]

jules lurks here mostly

[neat lichen]

Am back

[carmine relic]

Maybe if I see them again I'll remember. I can't remember off just names alone pretty often

[neat lichen]

I've got a Dolce Gusto machine for coffee and some caramel latte pads, it's so delicious

[heavy dew]

Jules has a job so I do the full time in here

[warm plover]

sometimes instead of saying hi i like to just jump right into whatever weird convo is going on
and my confidence makes people think "oh rins been here all along"

[zinc scarab]

I very much like that one thank you

[wispy meadow]

That's normal cat behavior
Confidence in Chaos

[carmine relic]

I can step up a notch; I can skip straight to the ending the conversation part by not saying a single thing!

[heavy dew]

The broke joke (hue hue) I used to use before I met my partner was: my heart and wallet match, broke
@wispy meadow to actually tell you what I was referring to before I confused you xD

Now I’m just broke

[wispy meadow]

Ahh

[heavy dew]

I see a name change

[zinc scarab]

my heart and my wallet match, nonexistent, I’m not financially independent

[heavy dew]

Okay call me candy cause I snickered

[wispy meadow]

That line always gets me lol

[zinc scarab]

I’m going to be the l e a s t financially responsible person ever

In both Palia and real life

[mellow verge]

[wispy meadow]

I try to make maximum use of my money to make sure I can last a while longer.

[neat lichen]

Ah yes, the famous gurgling noises names

[heavy dew]

Their theme song now, thank you

[zinc scarab]

CHHHHHH always has to be screamed and chhhhh has to be whispered

[heavy dew]

How in the world do you scream a shhhh noise?

[carmine relic]

Have you met a librarian?

[neat lichen]

"BE QUIET"?

[heavy dew]

Okay fair haha

[wispy meadow]

You huff, and puff, and then go
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[heavy dew]

Gambit has already forgot to tell me where he’s from

Instructions unclear, microwave on fire

[carmine relic]

I did?

[mellow verge]

mfw shushing someone is usually louder...

[wispy meadow]

He's a wizard.
All wizards come from Towers
It's their origin story

[heavy dew]

Please help what’s mfw I’ve forgotten

[wispy meadow]

My face when?

[heavy dew]

Me watching Evan and Bruce almighty, Morgan Freeman When?

[wispy meadow]

Morgan Freeman is everywhere

[heavy dew]

He’s god, it’s been proven by those movies

[mellow verge]

microwave free whoppers

[heavy dew]

Oh I sure hope they are

[carmine relic]

Yeah that seems about right

[wispy meadow]

Is a side effect of vaccination a neverending craving for cheese wedges?

[heavy dew]

I was just wondering cause of the letters you had

[carmine relic]

I know someone else made it a joke how there's actually a line of wizards and I'm the 49th of them

[wispy meadow]

That was me

[heavy dew]

Was mango asking to be the 50th as well wasn’t it

[carmine relic]

I can't remember.

I think so?

[heavy dew]

I remember too much, wanna meet in the middle?

[wispy meadow]

XD

[carmine relic]

Yes

[heavy dew]

It was mango and you said you hoped the 50th wizard would be more specific

So I dubbed that soon as someone named specific comes they shall be the 50th

[zinc scarab]

I asked what would happen if I (hypothetically) was the 50th wizard

[heavy dew]

See :3 ^

Scientist hippos, hippothetically

[carmine relic]

Let's see if the specific wizard is specifically better than me

[zinc scarab]

If someone with specific in their name joins they’re going to be so confused

[carmine relic]

What if we wind up with a general?

[heavy dew]

Any specific general? Or just in general

I couldn’t not, I’m sorry

[zinc scarab]

It was a good joke

Very unexpected from you didn’t know you were capable of such things

[zinc scarab]

I hate this so much

[mellow verge]

heheh youre welcome

[carmine relic]

Wait until you hear about read and lead and read and lead.

[heavy dew]

I have heard it in my head just now

[mellow verge]

I just dont think we pronounce bologna correctly

[heavy dew]

I pronounce it bah log nah because if they wanna spell it that way imma pronounce it that way

[mellow verge]

I like to say "bah low nah"

[heavy dew]

Turn it quickly into boh low neis

[zinc scarab]

I say it ba-low-nee but I don’t like it

[mellow verge]

[warm plover]

shar lost her colors?

[zinc scarab]

Wasn’t that the plot of the Trolls movie

[mellow verge]

I wanted to support a smaller server and I took off the gender term cause I hate red

Might go purple just cause

[wispy meadow]

More like a character arc thing

[heavy dew]

I picked a color not a pronoun do it!

If you wanna I mean I’m not here to tell you what to do

[zinc scarab]

I can barely remember what happened in that movie only that everything was uncomfortably loud

[warm plover]

werent the mcelroys in that movie

[heavy dew]

Did you try turning the volume down?

[mellow verge]

mayhaps later, for now others can bask in my glorious grey text (jk dont hurt me)

[zinc scarab]

I was in a theater

[heavy dew]

Did you ask them to keep it down?

[zinc scarab]

I d e s p i s e movie theaters

I hope there isn’t any in Palia

[wispy meadow]

I like movie theaters when it comes to horror movies
Except for that one time when it was just me and my cousin in the entire theatre and two random dudes wayyy back and it was scary as heck

[zinc scarab]

I hate movies cause I can’t focus for that long and movie theaters only make it worse, I can’t pause the movie and move on there T^T

[wispy meadow]

Ahh that would suck

[zinc scarab]

Also the social pressure to stay extremely still and quiet is not fun

[civic ice]

When are we gonna get another update

Seems kinda dead

[carmine relic]

Heck if I know.

[wispy meadow]

[carmine relic]

... Probably before 3 years.

[heavy dew]

It’s just about been a month since wave 2, patience

[carmine relic]

Past a month already?

[heavy dew]

Yup

Time flies

[carmine relic]

Then put it in a cage

[heavy dew]

Then we’ll never get launch D: let time fly

You can’t just stop time like that Gambit just because you’re a wizard

[carmine relic]

Fair enough. Even a wizard can't mess with time, anyway. If I could, I'd skip to 3 years later.

[warm plover]

i use wippits posts to keep track of the days

[carmine relic]

Aye, fair enough.

I wonder if some folks will make stories similar to Wippits'?

[warm plover]

my dog is so cute

[autumn nexus]

What kind of dog is it? 😮

[lucid halo]

Yeah^^

[warm plover]

japanese spitz :D

[plush birch]

Hi, just joined, watched the trailer of the game and feels hooked, it seems interesting

[celest maple]

hey

[wispy meadow]

RIN

I DEMAND PICS OF THE DOGGO

[ruby fractal]

Hi, just joined as well, the trailer seems to have so much potential. But at the same time it is a bit vague (obviously) and I assume people (like me) fill in the gaps how they would like to see the game evolve.

How I see it, is that it is a rather casual game where you can build your farm and chill in the world and choose to make it more hardcore by going into dungeons etc, but it is not necessary.

I would also love a game (I think palia would be great if it is what I think) where you can setup private servers for just you and your friends so the changes in the world only happen by yourself or your friends.

Just some random thoughts I'd like to share :p

[pure badge]

Good morning yall!

[green kraken]

Good morning! How’s it going?

[plush birch]

Yeah ikr, i would love to see how the game evolved too

[charred pelican]

hi there i'm just a passer-by who wants to know more about this game

I just woke up, it's going great!
And what about you?

[green kraken]

So far so good! My night just started~ having coffee and some cookies! ☕

[autumn nexus]

That sounds yummy!

[green kraken]

It is! They’re stolen~ haha! My wife’s secret stash of elf fudge cookies!

[midnight oak]

I had no idea you could turn elves into fudge.

[warm plover]

karsa can i have some of your and your wife's cookies

[green kraken]

Sure thing! I’ll get her something special to replace the lost tasties.
Here you go 🍪

[tulip wagon]

Braaaaaaaains....

[tulip wagon]

Ahh you speak my language!

[warm plover]

:D nomnomnom

[tulip wagon]

Rin save some brains for the rest of us

[warm plover]

no i was eating cookies

[tulip wagon]

Nope. Brains are now the only thing on the menu until we get into Palia.

[warm plover]

:(

[tulip wagon]

Don't worry. I've seasoned them to taste just like cookies.

[warm plover]

:(

[tulip wagon]

I might have some cat treats in the cupboard

Stop being sad at me! My momness can't handle it!

yay :D

[regal swallow]

Early Shrews can adventure longer with Pals

[warm plover]

the early shrew gets the

[regal swallow]

Pretty much

[tulip wagon]

The mental image of a tiny shrew drinking Dew drops is just too much cute!

[wispy meadow]

I am bored

[tulip wagon]

My phone decided dew is worthy of capitalisation

[wispy meadow]

Pls talk to me
Overtime sucks

[regal swallow]

Hi Pal!

[warm plover]

i had a character whose last name was Dewdrop once
His name was Mari Dewdrop and i couldnt decide whether i wanted him to be a ghost or a monster

mari was short for marigold

[tulip wagon]

Couldn't he be both?

[wispy meadow]

Both is good

[warm plover]

nah unfortunately

[tulip wagon]

Hmmm

[wispy meadow]

Ghost then

[tulip wagon]

I have a meeting. I shall ponder this while pretending to pay attention to it.

[warm plover]

ooh meeting

also its not important it was a character from a long time ago
i havent thought about him in a while

[wispy meadow]

Ahh okay

[sand barn]

🍪

[warm plover]

my cookie

[tulip wagon]

It's a trap! That's a cookie-shaped brain!

[warm plover]

noooo

[tulip wagon]

hops on giant tortoise mount to go buy Rin some cookies

[green kraken]

🧠 - 🍪

[tulip wagon]

will return....eventually. Simon gets places precisely when he means to.

[sand barn]

Cookie for everyone! 🍪

don't burn the cookie!

[green kraken]

Oh no!! Too much excitement!!

[sand barn]

[green kraken]

We can make more!! 🥛🍫🧈

Plus… someone put brains on those cookies!

[warm plover]

karsa teach me how to bake
i wanna make a whole tray of cookies... all for me

[tulip wagon]

Oh I see how it is. You hate my baking now because of a wee bit of brains!

What kind of cookies do you like Rin?

The only cookies I make are peanut butter & white chocolate chip

[green kraken]

I’ll see if I can find you a good beginner recipe! Cookies can be a pain in the butt to make! My favorites are white chocolate chip macadamia cookies!

[regal swallow]

Palia cookies to share?

[green kraken]

I will make everyone delicious cookies as a “YAY WE’RE HOME” gift once we can all play! (in game~)

[tulip wagon]

Palia cookies are the best. I have no evidence of this, but I know it must be true.

Meeting time!

[warm plover]

WHITE CHOCOLATE IS GOOD
i also like macadamia nut but im not wellversed in the kinds of cookies that exist so idk what i like

[patent adder]

White chocolate macadamia nut is one of my favorites

[pure badge]

I sure hope there are cookies in Palia!

[neat lichen]

Otherwise we demand cookies in Palia >:3

[green kraken]

It’s been a while… but it’s time for MIDNIGHT MINI TACOS

[regal swallow]

Palia bake feast?

[green kraken]

I would love it if there were server wide festivals AND neighborhood held festivities/parties. Like, if nothings going on that week and everyone in the neighborhood wanted to gather supplies and host their own fishing festival or something, they could! That would be fun!

[warm plover]

karsa can i have some tacos as well

[silent cairn]

I can't believe Milk chocolate isn't the favorite of Milky.

[surreal crest]

morning!

[patent adder]

I didn't say that! I was talking about cookies

[silent cairn]

ah, of course, of course. I can't believe I doubted you.

[green kraken]

Here you go!

[warm plover]

yayyyy

[surreal crest]

How are you guys?

[green kraken]

Feelin good today! You?

[surreal crest]

I'm surprisingly good. Just came back from dentist, had to remove caries that was between 2 teeth, nothing hurts, I can eat, I can feel my face and tongue. Maybe it wasn't the cheapest, but service was great so I'm fine with paying a little more

[warm plover]

yay teeth

[surreal crest]

also guy has the same name as me, and he's assistant was super into listening to my rumble about work xD

[green kraken]

That’s awesome! Not that it had to get done but that it went so well! I need to go but since the last time I went felt like LITERAL torture… I’m scared.

[surreal crest]

oh no worries, everything changed since then. Dentists are legit now

[silent cairn]

I bet they were interested if you were mumbling about work through all the dentist tools in your mouth, hahaha.

[surreal crest]

I dunno if it was the same for you, but in my country they used to put stuff inside your teeth if you had a hole in 'em. Now they just fill it with something that's probably stronger than my teeth lol

[surreal crest]

it was after I got anesthesia shot and we had to wait until it kicked in, you big dummy dum dum

[silent cairn]

hehe

[surreal crest]

KFC time bois

oh also I feel like some kind of sad teenager girl, cause I started to unironically listen to Billie Eilish XD

[green kraken]

Yo, when it comes to music you gotta listen to what makes you
✨F E E L✨

[surreal crest]

yeah but she's... I dunno, it doesn't fit with stuff I usually listen to. I guess it's her voice and vibe?

[green kraken]

I think she’s pretty unique! I’ve got like one or two that I like but I haven’t gone digging. Actually, thinking about it, since I don’t listen to radio I haven’t found new music in a long time 🤔

[surreal crest]

I usually get some nice mix of synthwave and halfway through it there is a song that snaps me out of whatever I was doing. And I'm like damn, this stuff ✨ S L A P S ✨

also soviet synthpop, damn.

[heavy dew]

Hi Karsa, hi Chair, love you both, I’m going back to sleep now, ciao

[green kraken]

I’ve only really listened to BGM (including fan remixes) and Utada lately.

[surreal crest]

va bene, sleep well!

[green kraken]

Sleep well Berry!!

[heavy dew]

[tulip wagon]

I've loved her music for ages. No shame in it.

And my go to is hyper rockout stuff

And 90's hip hop

Also, I need Palia in my head today, cause I'm on my way to A&E

GoooooseChapaaaaa

[maiden canopy]

Morning, nice day for fishing ain't it

[tulip wagon]

It's a fantastic day for fishing

[maiden canopy]

I am still sick 😦

[wispy meadow]

I'm finally done with today T^T

[maiden canopy]

today has barely started for me

[wispy meadow]

Also hope you get well soon Toast

For me it's already sundown
Welcome to the future

[maiden canopy]

I am taking work easy today for sure

[wispy meadow]

Yes do that. Sick people must not work hard.

[tulip wagon]

My whole day just went out the window

[wispy meadow]

Omg I can't believe I didn't see the Baelin reference

Wait really was it that bad??

[tulip wagon]

sighs in train passenger

[wispy meadow]

Ahh

[maiden canopy]

glad you got it!

[tulip wagon]

Spending this week's food money on cab fare and train tickets because my routine physical therapy appointment has now become "Off to the hospital that has emergency services so you can get an MRI today!"

[wispy meadow]

Ah... Are you okay??

[tulip wagon]

I guess we'll find out

I hate hospitals

[wispy meadow]

The only hospital I ever liked was the children's hospital I used to go to. The doctor was so nice and gave me candy

[tulip wagon]

Aww

Do you think they'll give me candy? That would make it okay!

[wispy meadow]

I really think giving candy to patients, including adults and old people, would help everyone

[tulip wagon]

I agree

[shrewd fiber]

mwe...
morning

[tulip wagon]

Mornin

[maiden canopy]

I have been waiting for an appointment and I finally got the letter today for it... 15th of November appointment

[tulip wagon]

Ugh

[wispy meadow]

That's basically the end of the year

[maiden canopy]

yes

kinda need it now tbh but no, I ahve to stress atleast till then

[tulip wagon]

Getting off the train. Be back in a bit.

[wispy meadow]

What's the appointment for?

[maiden canopy]

Neurologist

[wispy meadow]

Ahh

[maiden canopy]

I get weird muscle twitches

I also have other concerns.

[wispy meadow]

Ahh I see. Hopefully you stay healthy until the appointment Toast

[sand barn]

We're talking about music that SLAPS?! and i missed it

[silent cairn]

I missed it as well, am replying to dead topics

[wispy meadow]

Solution: revive it

[sand barn]

by Einar, that's revolutionary!

[warm plover]

I almost always just listen to game music and covers of vocaloid music cause I'm a nerd

[sand barn]

game music is awesome though! Also good for concentration

[green kraken]

Blessings to you too

[summer obsidian]

ohhh, interesting question. What type of person are you? Mute the game and play something else while playing, or cut up the volume and listen to the in-game music/sounds when you are playing games?

[gloomy vine]

Ello

[warm plover]

i love orchestral game music
i dont play the game anymore, but the music from Sdorica made me want to learn to compose orchestrally...

[summer obsidian]

99% of the time I listen to the game music/sounds

[wispy meadow]

Same

[remote latch]

[warm plover]

I swap between them overflow
Sometimes I'll listen to the ingame sounds and outside-game music at the same time

im too lazy to turn the ingame music off though so lol

[summer obsidian]

my sister is polar opposite, she almost always mutes the game and plays her own music while she plays

[gloomy vine]

I like the music loud. Very loud.

[wispy meadow]

I love game music so much that I'll sometimes just stand in place for several minutes just vibing to the soundtrack

[remote latch]

I don't play music but usually have the TV on and listen to that as background noise ( helps me concentrate ). Depending on the game I'll either turn off the sound/music or leave the sound/music on.

[gloomy vine]

Though it usually ends up turned down by the time I make you t to a hard battle or serious moment.

[remote latch]

Palia sounds like it may be a keep the audio on so as not to miss anything 🙂

[gloomy vine]

Same

Anyway im gonna go suffer now. Good bye.

[summer obsidian]

The composer who worked on this game is really good. His name is Steffen Schmidt and you can go to Google and find his soundcloud to listen to some of the stuff he's done

[keen latch]

Morning pals!

[warm plover]

Btw I tried to sing over the trailer music but the timing is so weird there's no way I can manage it

[sand barn]

I would say it depends on the game? If I go shooty shooty, then my own music is preferred. But for most other games, I like immersing myself with in-game music

[warm plover]

Also quick everyone name the game(s) you think has the best OST
(NieR/NieR: Automata for me)

[keen latch]

Our cat sing?

[remote latch]

I wouldn't be able to tell you, I rarely have music playing 🙂

[sand barn]

Hmm. Abzu has some pretty great music, as does TES Oblivion, or RiME.. or Journey! ahh, so many choices >_<

[pure badge]

Journey and Transistor sound nice :3

[lucid halo]

for me, its shadow of the colossus- roar of the Earth

[keen latch]

Agh what was it, "dont blink" was phenomenal, it really used music to pull at the heart strings with out you realizing its there, in palia

[pure badge]

I also really like how Animal Crossing sounds. It's not epic or "the best" but it's so nice! I can't play it but I occasionally listen to it's playlists when I draw or just chill.

[warm plover]

stale cupcakes bops

[shrewd fiber]

I like animal crossing music a lot
but animal crossing itself is really hard for me to play

I get depressed or just uninterested for various reasons for like, a week, and then my villagers are all sad and I'm like

;v; noooo don't be sad I was just bored and busy weeeeeh

[pure badge]

Quick question!
This week everyone in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art is drawing Jel, correct?
I was thinking if I ever find the time and the strength to participate in this challenge are there any rules what it's supposed to look like? Is it supposed to be png with transparent background? Many people seem to be drawing it like that

[warm plover]

yes its jel and no i dont think there are any rules about that
if you want 100% confirmation you can send Potentially Simuel an example of what you want to do i guess? but i cant see why they would say no

you can do it without a transparent background, sim will just crop it out

[remote latch]

All I have done with mine is take a picture of the artwork, crop it to a reasonable size and upload it .. nothing extra.

If you do a nice scenery around the target image Simuel may use it as part of the collage background

[lean stirrup]

Hello fellow paliadins

hehe get it? like paladins but for palia. my genius is almost frightening

[warm plover]

who are we fighting

[wintry wasp]

Greetings friends. I once again have not been consumed by the void I have hidden under my home.

[warm plover]

why under your home

are you in the basement

[wintry wasp]

Because it's a trailer so it keeps stuff from going under it.

And I can ask the void being to help out when we need the water turned off the do plumbing and such.

[warm plover]

the void sounds like a nice roommate

[wintry wasp]

And it doesn't consume cats. A kitten got into our floor once.

[pure badge]

once...

[wintry wasp]

Yeah. I did a couple things to discourage it safely since it drove our dog insane and OUR cat got into the floor from inside to look for it. 😐

[warm plover]

how are you guys getting into the floor

[wintry wasp]

We have two sets of vents. One is for the heating and cooling. The other is just for airflow I guess, so it's open to the under floor area.

[keen latch]

Yall using that new bethesda glitch?

[pure badge]

don't get stuck there
internet says it's bad

[green kraken]

Risks must be taken to commune with the
f l o o r demons

[wispy meadow]

What about the ceiling demons?

[keen latch]

they must be tempted down with oreos

[green kraken]

They like to listen when you sing alone.

[tepid sparrow]

lol.. long time didn chat here..
can we choose our house landscape like sandy beach with crystal water?

[remote latch]

I don't know if you can change your landscape but they say there is no terraform .. but .. they said how you decorate your lot is up to you .. let me get the precise comment for this stuff [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 There's no terraforming but the customization options for your plot will get very interesting [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 You aren't obliged to improve your plot... and you can apply your own taste when decorating [S6] Eris (he/him) — 06/04/2021 hahaha, there's things you can do on your own plot, but not the Village Center [S6] WizardCrab — 06/04/2021 We want to enable people to live a cozy fantasy life of their dreams. If players say that's Hell Plot, I guess that's what it'll be! [S6] Aidan — 06/03/2021 Hi Petwal, your housing plot is as much a place for customization as it is for cooperative gameplay, like (cooking) and (gardening) [S6] Aidan — 06/03/2021 Hi Ghastly, every player will get their own plot of land to do with as they wish

[worthy rose]

good morning pals

[cinder temple]

The info everyone gave you is correct! No rules, no limits. The weekly art challenges are a lawless wasteland of creativity and Palian swagger.

[wispy meadow]

Yep

[thin zealot]

Hello guys
I just discovered the game and thought I'd join...it looks so cute ^^

[green kraken]

Glad you found us!

[remote latch]

welcome to the Palia Waiting Room .. please pick a number and wait your turn for call up to the game .. - its a lottery so everyone has a chance for their number to be called - you did give them your email right ? and completed the surveys ?

[thin zealot]

oh no...what number am i at? 😄

[pure badge]

Good to know!
Thank you~

[remote latch]

Well, likely something like 10,050 but its random pick so your number could still be picked 🙂 - correction maybe~~ 10,090~~100,090 ( just checked the server numbers rofl )

[pure badge]

where are you getting those numbers? 👀

[remote latch]

look at the pins and scroll to the bottom

[thin zealot]

well...if i had a 50/50 chance...even if i had an 80/20 chance I'd most likely not get picked, thats my kind of luck 😄

[remote latch]

good news though is that how long you have been here isn't a factor .. some of us have been here since the first day or 2 and haven't got into the pre-alpha .. so .. just waiting for the next test selection ( whenever they choose to do it )

[wind ibex]

There are over 100k people on this discord, if they doubled the amount of people in the testing that would only be about a 2% chance of getting selected.

[lean stirrup]

eyy we hit 100k

[wind ibex]

Yesterday.

[wheat falcon]

hello everyone !

[wind ibex]

Rin had a party in chat.

[mental merlin]

This may be my home, the game I play most when its out

[remote latch]

thats great.. I think that is what they are hoping it will be

[pure badge]

there's 100K people
I don't get it
how do you math

Hello guys 🙂

[pure badge]

scawwy 3:>

[warm plover]

does that face have a little hat

[nova raven]

That duck dance it one of my favorite things of all time

I hope they have an ester egg of a duck in game doing that dance

[vague lodge]

so whena re we able to play this

[nova raven]

Some- now, Most of Us- unknown

[worthy rose]

RIGHT NOW GO GO GO GO

All we know about the release date is sooner than 3 years actually

[vague lodge]

thats crazy

[worthy rose]

Its still in pre-alpha, so theres probably at least an alpha and beta stage to come

[vague lodge]

yeah i get needing time an such to make things an make sure its a great game but 3 years seems a bit crazy lol

[pure badge]

it has long sad eyebrows

[remote latch]

bear in mind that an average mmo takes 5-6 years and they are only 3 years into development they are half way through .. they have given people access early to help drive the game in the right direction

[warm plover]

OH I THOUGHT IT WAS A HAT now i see the eyebrows

[ruby fractal]

I assume people that received a pre-alpha invite got asked not to record and share anything? Cause I was looking for footage and didn't find anything 😢

[worthy rose]

Correct, we had to sign an actual NDA

[warm plover]

not so much "asked" as "legally bound"

[ruby fractal]

LF Lawbreakers xD :p

just kidding ofcourse

[wind ibex]

[nova raven]

[warm plover]

[wind ibex]

🇳 🇩 🇦

[remote latch]

they are allowed to tell us what they think of the game so far .. without details .. so far those that have said so .. have said they have enjoyed it .. and at least one suggestion ( we don't know what it is ) has made it into the game so far.

[warm plover]

oh i didnt know that last part

[remote latch]

Yeah, Wippits wife made a suggestion to them and she was happy to see it was being added

[wind ibex]

She is our Xrystal Ball.

[nova raven]

Lol that's a good one Odd

[worthy rose]

what he said

[nova raven]

Xrystal gets all the nicknames

[ruby fractal]

Who is wippits wife! I need her very badly! :p

[remote latch]

That actually is one of my game names when I can use surnames .. Bell or Belle is another surname I use 🙂

[warm plover]

PassionTiger/Bru
but if you harass the testers i'll personally hunt you down 🐈

[remote latch]

Wippits wife will tell you nothing .. she doesn't even tell him 🙂

[nova raven]

If they have the traditional weather report person in game that tells you what the weather will be for the next day, they need to make it Xrystal

[warm plover]

hey nish can you give me some of that hype

[ruby fractal]

Wippits wife sounds funny, I might add that in my D&D campaign 😅

[warm plover]

crystal bells are also a thing to be fair

[worthy rose]

no. I bottled it and sold it all to tibet

[ruby fractal]

But just throwing it out here, I would be very honored to become a Palia tester and I would be more silent than a thousand graves about NDA stuff 😄

[warm plover]

join the club

[remote latch]

haha .. I started posting dev responses I haven't seen people mention as newsflashes rofl ( #💬│palia-discussions message ) and ( #💬│palia-discussions message ) so far

[ruby fractal]

Thought so 😉

[remote latch]

yep, I made my names a play on words 🙂

[warm plover]

smh i cant believe palia npcs sleep smh smh just drink red bull 24/7

[wind ibex]

Don't do that, it damages your kidneys and brain.

[warm plover]

i have the feeling that the insides of npc homes wont be instanced like in other mmos
like we'll just be able to walk right in, no loading required
i think that would be rad

[wind ibex]

Likely your liver too.

[remote latch]

yep .. they said there is currently an open door policy .. assumingly just for npc buildings

[warm plover]

ah but they didnt mention whether they were instanced or not, just that they could be entered

[pure badge]

will the time in game progress as in real life or will the game have it's own time like most mmos do?

[warm plover]

<@&830144903652311090>

[warm plover]

currently it's one hour per day, 15 minutes per phase (morning, afternoon, evening, night, i think)

[nova raven]

Nobody trust serpent

[remote latch]

I suspect because they are fixed in place and limited .. they will not be instanced, whereas player houses will be innumerable so will have to have instanced plots so that everyone can have a house plot

[worthy rose]

how are they so fast

[wind ibex]

They are always watching.

[warm plover]

im sexy enough to make them want to moderate asap

[remote latch]

it helps that it isn't a weekend .. the ones then took a bit longer to snuff out

[wind ibex]

It wouldn't surprise me if they are moving to take action before we even ping them.

[pure badge]

will the game have it's own seasons or will they be synchronized with real seasons?
will there even be seasons?

[warm plover]

we dont know, all theyve said on the topic of seasons/weather is that "palia isnt a world without weather"

[ruby fractal]

I've read somewhere in the FAQ I think that it's too early to think about seasons

[remote latch]

weather and seasons was an answer they did in the recent #❓│old-team-answers-alpha .. not ready to talk about seasons yet but weather will be interesting

[warm plover]

oh maybe i remembered wrong let me check

This question was asked by a lot of people!

We're not ready to talk about seasons at this time, but we will definitely have a dynamic weather system that will impact a wide variety of the gameplay content in the game. We're also making sure our audio experience is capturing the charm of being sheltered inside while listening to the patter of rain drops across your roof.

Aidan```

[ruby fractal]

Yea that one Xrystal, thanks :p

[warm plover]

yeah my information was outdated

[pure badge]

interesting
thx

guess we will need to wait less than 3 years to find out x3

[summer obsidian]

the sound of raindrops pattering on the roof...sold, I'm not going anywhere 😛

[remote latch]

I'm sure as more items are fixed in place they will give us a bit more info .. without ruining the enjoyment of seeing something new when you first get in game

[remote latch]

yeah the immersion there is just .. arrgh the words

[lunar tundra]

Yeah, rain is the best weather, I love sitting in my office staring off into the storm while I read. Hopefully I can get a similar feeling in palia.

[worthy rose]

the calming sound of ten thousand chapaas screaming into the open air

[ruby fractal]

private servers would be the best thing ever in this type of game tbh

[remote latch]

they have said they are unlikely to allow private servers ( #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message )

[pure badge]

I want to be able to throw snowballs at npcs

[ruby fractal]

Means my crusade isn't finished yet :p

[tranquil cosmos]

Gooood mo- timezone everyone

[lean stirrup]

'good timezone'

wow

[nova raven]

Snowball fight style pvp where you have to build snowforts for defense?

[worthy rose]

good morning oter

[tranquil cosmos]

Good morning summer freckle

[pure badge]

Yeeeeeeeeees!

[lean stirrup]

tbh theres not enough snowball fight games out there, not a bad idea

[remote latch]

you never know .. if there is snow, and you are allowed to make a snow ball and you are allowed to throw it at people .. what you do beyond that even if the game doesn't have a snowball fight mechanic is up to you

[warm plover]

overwatch's snowball fight was literally shooting icicles at people
it was a little dangerous

[wind ibex]

I don't think they will be needed with this game. Plus being part of the larger global community of Cozy people is one of the main draws for me to this game.

[lean stirrup]

let us behead people with icicles

[pure badge]

I'm putting a rock in this one (c)

How big can your party be? Can you change it? I know that you won't need to wait for your friends houses to load up but I'm not sure where their houses will be?

[warm plover]

[celest maple]

Hi everyone 😄

[nova raven]

DO A FLIP!

[celest maple]

lmao

[carmine relic]

I swear if I gotta look at dev answers again to figure out what some things are like, I'm gonna scream

[remote latch]

You won't see a loading screen when visiting your friends house. Whether you will see their house on the map ( if there is an onscreen map ) is another thing. Party size has been noted as currently 4 but not set in stone [S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021 No local play, sorry. Party size is currently 4 [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 You'll be able to visit houses of players you know. We don't want strangers creepin on you [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 Your neighbors can visit too. Join a super sus neighborhood [S6] Laurisse — 06/04/2021 Both outside and inside are instanced, but your friends can easily access your home if you wish for them to come over. There's no loading screen :slight_smile: [S6] WillT — 06/03/2021 We're starting smaller and aiming to grow bigger. For alpha we will certainly have instances of our maps that support so many players, but making sure your group is together and you can visit each other without loading screens and your social experience is smooth is one of our primary goals as a team.

[wind ibex]

I don't know where I read it, but I think party is limited to 4 at the moment. But I don't know if visitors to you plot is limited to party members.

[celest maple]

I'm so excited to get into this game! It seems absolutely incredible. The epitome of Autumn/Winter in a game, just cozy and full of love 🥰

[pure badge]

Thank you all!

[worthy rose]

Alright so basically we give all of the chapaas flame throwers

[wind ibex]

Then they change from Chapaas to Chuas...

[pure badge]

omg x3

don't give smol trash-doggie the flame thrower

[worthy rose]

you cant stop me

[surreal crest]

stops nish

[warm plover]

oh not nish became possibly nish

[worthy rose]

we can't be sure which one is the real nish

[plain hound]

he follow the scientific method, he was not nish then after some research and graph comparing he became possibly nish

[pure badge]

oh no

[warm plover]

his hypothesis was the he wasnt nish, which then got disproven..

[plain hound]

the next step is trying to find a cause-effect and he will be able to become definitely not nish or definitely nish

[carmine relic]

I guess the scientists messed with the classification of Nish, so it's hard to have a strong answer, now

[worthy rose]

the only way I can concretely be nish is if I can definitely prove that I am nish right?

[plain hound]

indeed...and prove that you answer because we say your name, not because an outside factor.

[worthy rose]

but if i answer to anything else then I could also be that

[warm plover]

hey nish

[plain hound]

I'm not philospher or scientist, I will let them decide if you are or are not

[warm plover]

nish can i ask you something

[carmine relic]

I consider them Nish, I don't care what some nerd in a lab coat says!

[worthy rose]

I am a philosopher, call that nishilism

[ruby fractal]

Depends for me, if other players that play a lot more than I do can alter the world too much I would prefer that it is a private server with just me and my friends playing in it.

Cause you could still join a public server with a different character.

[wind ibex]

Nish is in a constant state of quantum flux. Either being Nish, or not Nish, and thus is called possibly Nish.

[worthy rose]

nish is both nish and not nish until observed

[wind ibex]

Remember, we are always being observed here.

[warm plover]

dammit nish avoided me 😔

[maiden canopy]

I have a nice breeze blowing through my room

[plain hound]

the nishdinger cat

[warm plover]

i think i heard that schrodingers cat was made up by schrodinger as a parody, saying "this is how ridiculous your theory sounds guys"
and now it's being used all the time...

[maiden canopy]

schrodingers cat and the raiders of the lost quark, great game

[plain hound]

originally yes, around the 40's or 30's there was a rhetorical physic question : if you can't monitor matter, in which state do you assume it is?

and some physician answered that you must assume that the matter is in all it's forms at the same time. That was his answer to that.

[carmine relic]

Considering what some scientists did to prove how stupidly wrong the others are, this sounds right.

[warm plover]

also in the science world: that one paper that was cowritten by a cat

[carmine relic]

I'm still mad Pluto isn't a planet just because it doesn't clean up it's area

[wind ibex]

Well, it hasn't had it's own orbit that long. 200 years ago I think it was still Neptune's moon.

Which is why their orbits cross.

[warm plover]

pluto killed the chat 😔

[plain hound]

that why we don't let it be a planet anymore.

[wind ibex]

I thought I had done it again...

[pure badge]

I'm watching minecraft videos
You wanted to talk about something?
We can talk about food!

[warm plover]

icecream in palia

[plain hound]

to do smoked meat you need to leave it marinating for two week before cooking it

[warm plover]

an easy way to do smoked meat is to get a time machine

[pure badge]

Will you be able to only buy food from other players or finding it on your own in the world?

not counting the npcs, they would probs sell some food

[warm plover]

player trading is probably gonna be a thing so i dont see why not

[pure badge]

is there going to be an economy? 😮

[warm plover]

[carmine relic]

Lemme brush over the trailer... again.

There's a tavern, obviously, and I'm pretty sure they'd sell good food.

[warm plover]

dammit stop talking about food im hungry ;w;

[pure badge]

I think the inn would sell food, yes
but what about all the ingredients?

[carmine relic]

Who knows.

[pure badge]

no
you go eat!

[carmine relic]

Someone get him some salami

[warm plover]

badruu probably sells ingredients

[marble hedge]

In a case like that, I don't want NPCs to sell ingredients. Have it all be PC stuff. Encourages an economy

[warm plover]

rin can have little a salami, as a treat

[carmine relic]

Yeah! Heck, I'd help get a chef some ingredients too

[pure badge]

yeah, sounds great

[pure badge]

rin can have all the salami
you're the salami guardian
guardian of the salami

[warm plover]

poseidon quivers before me

[surreal crest]

wat

[warm plover]

you heard me

[pure badge]

heck yeah he does

[remote latch]

I concur .. if anything, it should be things like salt, pepper etc .. of course depending on how detailed the crafting/gathering skills are. Although, just in case someone wants something and no one around to get it from .. maybe, just maybe an NPC sells the basic ingredients .. say the equivalent of a level 1 player.

[marble hedge]

Salt, now miners can contribute to food....

[remote latch]

yep, or desalination from sea water 🙂

[carmine relic]

Eat stone. Bam, rock candy

[plain hound]

I feel salty from this conversation run outside

[pure badge]

miners can also get iron and rock
so we can have stoves and utensils

[marble hedge]

In a perfect game (for me) everything must be built by PCs. no buying anything (except maybe basic starting stuff).

[remote latch]

And .. if .. the AI is smart enough .. they stop selling those items that a player has available

[carmine relic]

Wippit, I've seen that kind of world before. You do not want it that way, trust me

[marble hedge]

Puzzle Pirates was like that. :Loved it.

[carmine relic]

Boundless was like that. It's now so damn quiet

[marble hedge]

Technically EVE is like that. It ain't quiet

[plain hound]

pretty much every MMO I have seen working like that end up being really competitive though

[arctic onyx]

Then play Rust

[marble hedge]

Ah. The old "go play somewhere else" line

[remote latch]

It might be different end results dependant on the game and the players it attracts .. so hopefully even if there are high prices from some people, there will hopefully be people offering reasonable or even low prices.

Of course .. not knowing what type of economy they are including in Palia its hard to say how things will look in there [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 Game economy will exist! We aren't sharing a lot about this now but it'll be clear when people get their hands on the alpha #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message ( read the previous question for context )

[carmine relic]

Boundless was an MMO sandbox. It had it's opportunities, but some things became such a grind that it just really didn't feel worth it. I know there was another dude in this server who played a lot of Boundless

[heavy dew]

G'day fellow pals

[pure badge]

Berry! Hi hi hi!

[carmine relic]

Huzzah, Berry!

[pure badge]

I have no idea what to add to this conversation, economy hard, me just want to buy stuff from other players x3

[silent cairn]

Berry!!!

[pure badge]

How are you doing, Berry?

[remote latch]

Newsflash from your sponsor Palia. Both resource management and player trading have a unique solution. One can only wonder how different it is to other games to be unique.

how are resources going to be managed? Like is it going to be where they go away until they respawn or will it basically be infinite where anyone can come up to an ore or something and mine it?
[S6] WhoaNonstop [8 ♓⬧ 49] — 06/05/2021
We have a unique solution to that but not ready to unveil yet.```

```rickmills — 06/03/2021
Probably asked already, but player-trading? Auction Houses? will they be in the game?
[S6] EinarHugBestHug — 06/03/2021
I feel like we have a pretty unique approach to how we want to handle the transfer of items between players but it's in early stages so we're not quite ready to talk about it. ```

[warm plover]

every time i say something is xrystal has to prove me wrong 😔

[carmine relic]

Economy dumb, just provide for local shops players and that should work. Probably. Well, if shops will be a thing

[remote latch]

sorry Rin

[warm plover]

no its good im just really bad at being right

[pure badge]

You are the best at finding stuff Xrystal!
Thank you :3

[carmine relic]

Aye, Xrystal knows what's good, which is pretty good!

[pure badge]

Perhaps it is the best solution

[carmine relic]

I swear if autocorrect jumps in and messed up another 2-3 letter word, I'm turning it off, even if my words become jdjdbdkdhdkddjd

[heavy dew]

Xrystal IS the wiki

[heavy dew]

Whatever happened to "I'll give you an apple if you give me a pear", that's as hard as finance should be 👀

[warm plover]

i turn off autocorrect but keep autosuggestions on so i can click the little bar of suggested words if i make a typo

[carmine relic]

"Me give shiny coin for thingy" is a more simple finance

[remote latch]

regardless of what they choose .. hopefully it will make sense in Palia 🙂

[heavy dew]

John Wick universe where a service is 1 coin, irregardless

[pure badge]

"Me give you this for free cause u my frien"

[heavy dew]

No no, nothing free, free bad

[pure badge]

I said take this free apple!

[heavy dew]

AND I'LL PAY, with a hug! SO HAH

[pure badge]

I shall accept this payment

[remote latch]

Settlers online players have a way to handle giving thing to people relatively free.. you trade whatever you want for 1 fish .. the easiest item to get your hand on .

[carmine relic]

I wonder if we'll see more Grimalkin?

[heavy dew]

trades are fun, settlers is fun too, you should come to board game nights 👀

[pure badge]

1 pebble for all of your apples x3

[remote latch]

thats the spirit .. pebbles could be the currency .. or even dust bags 🙂

[carmine relic]

God I hope pebbles become tradable items. Even if you'd see a stupid pickup prompt along a gravel road or something

[heavy dew]

Instead of "ooh a quarter" it's shiny pebble

[warm plover]

give me a cute grimalkin husband

[carmine relic]

"This pebble is round, so it's obviously valuable."

[heavy dew]

Bartering with whoever you're buying with: "You see this chipped side here? That's from the ONE time in history Einar got angry and threw a pebble, this is invaluable!"

[warm plover]

should i go get food or wait for someone here to give me some

[carmine relic]

Get some

[pure badge]

Imagine getting a big box for presents just so you can put a pebble in it

[heavy dew]

12/10 what Einar gives you for your birthday

[remote latch]

or put that invaluable pebble in your display cabinet

[carmine relic]

This pebble is really shiny and transparent! It also came thousands of kilometers underground. It's worth a lot.

[heavy dew]

Geting a shed size package at your door, you take off the bow and Einar pops out holding out his hand with a pebble in it

[pure badge]

the BIGGEST display cabinet there is
yes

[warm plover]

diamonds wouldnt actually be worth that much on Palia, since there's likely no artificial scarcity

[heavy dew]

Diamonds are technically not worth anything irl either

[carmine relic]

There's also magic. I think. Probably... by chance.

[heavy dew]

Magic diamonds, now THAT is value

[carmine relic]

We got floating rocks and golems, so someone out there probably figured out how to make fake diamonds

[warm plover]

magic rocks like uranium?

[heavy dew]

Screw diamonds, if I figure out how to make floating cities I’ll make a fortune on that and say byeeee to the land folk and become sky boi

[carmine relic]

So magic it grants you powers like an extra arm! Or two heads.

[pure badge]

I think since there are characters that look like they value money over everything else - diamonds are going to be valuable magic or not

[pure badge]

sky boiii

[carmine relic]

Living in the sky would be pretty absurd of ya ask me.

[warm plover]

yes but diamonds only have worth irl due to their price being artificially inflated

almost all the production and distribution of diamonds is managed by one company, so they can raise the price as much as they want...

[pure badge]

that's fair

[carmine relic]

There's always other naturally occurring fancy valuables, probably.

[warm plover]

but at least they'll be valuable based on actual scarcity
that one company mines a fuckton more diamonds than they actually sell
