Sorry it's only english
So I guess no crazy bard toon? /sigh there goes that idea.
Being a bard would be fun
problem with groups is ping
make a suggestion on how it could work in the game .. maybe .. they'll find a way later on to add it ๐
The EverQuest Bard was crazy fun to be in a group with.
Different instruments inspiring different skill bonuses would be cool
yep, that was their main concern
Maybe a Mime Bard?
Probably would end up looking like Palia default dance by accident ๐
Yes, but maybe not in a way where everyone plays an instrument solo together, but you can collaborate on how a piece goes, then form a group to play it, and just hit right keys or do actions at the right time on your end so the whole song keeps sounding good
Pay no attention to the Crazy Mime Bard behind the curtain!
I'll copy what I just said ๐
But there is this regarding musical instruments ```Arc โ 06/04/2021
Will there be playable in game musical instruments ? Like trumpets and pianos that we can obtain and play?
[S6] WizardCrab โ 06/04/2021
Anything's possible. That's not like a "secret yes" or anything; we're just really open to making the things you want. One struggle is that with latency with audio over the internet it's kind of a difficult problem if you're looking to jam with friends or anything.
So, maybe they will be able to have solo playing but not multiple people in a set radius
It's one way to get around it, but they'd have to compose music to play along too, and at that point you're not "playing" anymore than you are when you're playing guitar hero
This community is so fun! I'm having a bang up time just watching chat.
This is the pre-game game ๐
Trust me that feeling doesn't go away even after 2+ months
I started off alt tabbing playing a game, but now I find myself on this chat more than my game.
that's what I'm doing xD
I'm always alt tabbing .. but when chat is animated and I have something to see I stay for a while ๐
We do get quiet moments as well, those are good for doing what you're supposed to do.. I mean.. what you've been doing half assed, of course
yeah I get that. I couldn't do this at work. I'm at home chillin'.
I'm lucky enough and cursed enough to be doing course work from home and zoom meetings.. I keep glancing over here xD
I've been WFH for over a year, we just went back. I'm a social butterfly so I'm so happy to see people instead of just my dogs.
We run a foster, so I Love our dogs, but still.. I love people more.
I'll introduce you to my professor and you'll change your mind
lol
That reaction is sad tho.
Also hi Berry and TasteTheWine
Heya Lintya!
Call me Lin. ^^
That message from Kalan is so old haha, hi Lin ^^
How in the world did you even find it
That message is pinned.
Ahh a Necrothread hunter?
Oh
So it is, that's very true
Newsflash from our Palian Sponsors : [S6] WizardCrab โ 06/05/2021 Our goal is that anything you care about doing is a big, important activity. and .. they know we will try to do more than they expect regarding skilling up [S6] WizardCrab โ 06/05/2021 I am fully confident there are people who will outpace even our most conservative models of what a player could accomplish.
;3 I literally just finished reading every single pinned message in all chats, all chat infos, google docs, and more I just had nothing to do.
Why hello there Lin. How has your day been today?
I mean.. I can't say it's a bad idea, I've done it xD Did you have a good read? Are you satisfied with your care?
Pretty nice. I gotta say, I'm happy enough, but I will probably not be awake anymore, its like 3 am.
Berry: Customer service mode
ditto .. I'll be off to bed soon myself
Oh wow. It is only 9 Pm. though i'll be in bed soon enough myself. probably in an hour
Berrymax is my new nickname, I take care of people's mental health and confidence
XD
There are some really cool infos in there, the FAQ system tho its not of my liking. Appreciate the care as welll of all the mods, to place all info and constantly update it.
I need to read up on everything
If you mean the pinned documents here, those are player maintenance
I had to read so much at work though.. can be tireing.
"player"? Community*
No no, Im talking to the info in how to ask and all, the timing to only be possible in x times.
Also I do have a question.
OH, yeah yeah yeah, the mods here do a remarkable job
We may or may not have an answer
10:00AM PT.
Is that, 10 am at Portuguese time?
pacific
^
How did I miss this one - rofl
Matija โ 06/04/2021
can we wash our clothes by slamming them on the rocks in the shallows of a riverbed ?
[S6] WizardCrab โ 06/04/2021
I have no idea why it's taken so long for someone to ask us this question!
Pacific time
I'm Central Time.
I seee, Like I knew BST and EST and I was confused.
To be fair I pray for the day we scrap all time zone names and just use "UTC - Universal Time"
UPVOTE
Probably because most people assumed it was already there I think?
It's..
10 am here
4am
I meant the question and answer combo .. its the first time I've spotted it ๐
I also meant the question and answer combo lol
I assumed that since it's fantasy we don't have washing machines and have to wash everything by hand at a river or well or something
Like a washerboard.
3 am here.
I'm going to try to get some more sleep x) good timezone and see you guys later 
?
You Cornfused me.
.... I need a personal care robot that makes me coffee every morning
I need a house.
well we do have fridges etc ( see video ) so it never crossed my mind about it .. but I meant, during my searches through the #โโold-team-answers-pre-alpha channel it was the first time I saw the question and answer ( not what it was, but the fact I hadn't seen it before ) ๐
type '`' 3 times at the start and at the end in box
Wat
uh
box
I can't send
'''box'''
wait I did it before Im jsut gonna edit my msg and see
Think of the 3 ` as speech marks around a phrase
box
tada
I actually didn't, only used this one. D:
lol I had to find the right key.
yeah I used to use those ones a lot until I learnt the box
Wait```wadaf
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
depends on what keyboard .. its on my top left key on my keyboard
I thought of the fridges are more of those older ones, the ones that has a huge chunk of ice in them to keep food cold or something
I swear I still don't know how.
Now I want to be a Block of Ice Farmer!
you found the right character Lintya .. just need 3 of them before the text and 3 of them after
So like hi
yep
I guess I didn't
(type text)
No spaces
the symbol you used here ... 3 at the start .. 3 at the end
^^^Im prob gonna go crazy^^^
It should gray out if it works
Wait I messed up oops
Oh wait Im dumb...
POV I ACTUALLY AM
yaay
Aahhahaha.
Im so dumb.
nah .. just hard to explain ๐
Now you are thinking with boxes
It helps me enclose the different quote blocks when I post the dev quotes as answers
No why would I?
They look nice.
WELL THATS TRUE, STILL WHY?
> this to talk.```
exactly ๐
But this one is also cool.
WAIT I CAN USE BOTH
yep, there may be others too I haven't looked at all the markup codes yet
ooh Sim .. seen the fishie ?
Did yoy know you can use # to link Discord channels like #๐ฌโoff-topic-chat?
no @cinder temple , show me how
haha ๐ข
Like this?? #๐ฌโoff-topic-chat ๐
HAH
๐ ๐ข
We wore talking about the game, then got lost in the conversation, my fault. Ups. <3
If anyone takes the fault please let it be me.
Turtle did the funny
Palia is a game about community and teamwork - we should all take the fall together like wiseguys.
It was in response to my block quotes from the devs about Palia ๐ so not too unrelated to Palia ๐ honest
Missed you btw turtle, what do you think of our new fish?
Okay everyone I had blast but I need to get to bed. I'm starting to have heavy eyelids.
Goodnight sweet prince, until we meet once more
Oh, itโs an oh-FISH-ial art ๐
Oooooh ho ho what you did there, I sea it, you really dove deep with that one
Do you pick that up in the school?
sigh
Do you want me to rate it on a scale?
๐คฃ
If I can't have a fishtank full of those grumpfish I'm going to end up looking just like one
ok I'll let you punish yourself with all these puns ๐ night folks
Night Xrystal ^^ hope you can get some rest
Good night Xry. <3


I wonder how big the grumpy fish is compared to the other fish?
It's a sea-fish, so it might be a bit big. Probably
:000 I want there to be a pufferfish equivalent
That is absolutely gill-iant! 
I can not wait for this game , taps foot lol
I really like the art style in this game, the little stuff is cool
I agree! Stylised art styles are always great ๐
I want to see the turtles in Palia now
Zombie turtles
you haddock make that didn't you
No u :3
Good timezone :)
โ

Fishies!
Discovered this game yesterday.. canโt wait for release!
It's past midnight. Time for me to show up!
Wizards do their job best past midnight, trust me
I.. I made a thing
Wow! That is one grumpy fish, I love that they are showing off some animation!
i can verify this
What did you make?
An emote, out of the grumpy fish
It's so mad at me for making it
Lol, it's not mad, just grumpy. Must have woken up on the wrong side of the aquarium.
I'll let you be the judge
eyy, it's tardis
THE Tardis!
the fish is cool but its not a kitsuu 
last of their kind
Hey! Good to see you!
I've actually been sleeping decent so I haven't been online as much this time of day.
Fish
You like fish, buddy?
Yes!
The official art Channel said "Seas" I wonder if that's just because it's a saying or if there will actually be multiple seas.
I wonder why we'd need a model of a fish?
My guess, saying, one ocean can be multiple seas? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I swear ocean and sea are the same word, basically
I would 100% put grumpy fish in an aquarium and read out loud to them and pretend they enjoy it and only look grumpy on the outside.
That fish is gonna escape when you go to bed
Brb my goldfish is running away?
Then you better go catch it!
Caught it, I hope you can sea bass't that I lost it in the first place
i don't think i'd ever get an aquarium in-game. pet fish make me sad.
Sad.. or grumpy? ๐
Then just use it to store fish for cooking or something, I guess.
about 10-ish years ago i spent a lot of time away from home. so did my daughter. which meant my partner was alone a lot during the day. we had a betta that used to love to watch TV with her and would jump out of the water to say hi whenever she'd feed him. his favourite movie to watch was Disney's animated Hercules. we haven't watched that movie since he died.
This is too early to get hit in muh feels 
Time for sleep. I think
Night night Wizard, may your spells offer you a good night's rest. That doesn't make sense but I'm going with it
Makes total sense because those who can sleep are clearly using magic
Hey cutieripie
How are you doing sir?
In a meeting and I am :GrumpyFish: incarnate
what if in ashuras inn theres a little scrap of paper somewhere, barely visible
and in the corner it says "0849?"
hello
The 8th day of the 49th month ๐
I know that feeling
The person holding said meeting speaks as if they're drunk, slurring, slowly, long pauses, driving me insane
nothings better than eggs and bacon for brekkie 
Maybe.. they are? 
"if you, yeah, when you do have these, right, you do the, thing that you, yeah well, need to do" - they probably are
what did you guys have for breakfast? 
I got some mango yogurt with granola :3
Yum
That sounds uncomfortably familiar 
A big bowl of fruit! Bananas, blueberries, melon, strawberries, kiwi. All that good stuff
That's a lot of reactions ๐
All that good reactions
That's fruits for you
All that good stuff
I wonder if palia will have their own fruits or if they resemble our fruits ๐ค
I believe the answer is yes
imagine magical fruits
imagine dragons fruit

Bet you gotta slap those little garbage monsters from your crops
๐
Im gonna fall asleep during this meeting..
Is it online? No one will know!
It is, and omg he just brought up a visual aid to differentiate between the color coded parts. The picture is in gray scale

Gooooooood morning palians! 
Good morning Society! (a sentence I never thought I'd say)
Everyone hates me :( hahahaha
No you're lovely as a person, the place is not as lovely ๐
we live in a society ๐
Hello friend
So... You all live in me?
Uuugh I can't sleep.... D:
Uhm.. I'll live on the outskirts ๐ตโ๐ซ
sometimes its just like that
Did you try.. sleeping๐
:O revolutionary!
Look, Socimba, everything the light touches.. eat the grass, circle, together, yes
I know. I sometimes have a big brain. ๐
It's because of all the stuff you eat Milky
Hahahaha this is great ๐คฃ
This is not that night, my friend. :D
I gain the knowledge of everything I consume. That includes the tin cans ๐
I see..
Yes. Goats can consume all.
Hey wait ๐ฅบ
Oh that I knew, it was more gaining the knowledge of said consumed items
Milky what did the tin cans teach you?
That might just be a me thing. ๐
It thought me the horrors of being processed in a machine.
And that ๐ ๐ข always
Have they said anything about a release date yet? Or a beta?
They haven't given us anymore info about release ๐ฐ
"much closer than 3 years from launch" is what they've said so far, and beta is to far away as well I think for them to give a date, we're not in alpha yet
Turtle is watching.. waiting..
Everyone here loves you anyway. :)
Commiserating? Say it ain't so...๐จ
Awh I don't even know you really I don't think but thanks 
Can confirm I am everyone and I love you Milky
I just know you are always here chatting and making friends when I peek in. :D
I love all of you.
Not always but still. 
I can't use the emotes want to reply with. Yet. ๐
Yet ๐

Soon hopefully ๐
Sleep well, friend. 
Im gonna go back to watchin hxh
Dunno what that is, but have fun
โบ๏ธ
Yeah im too late for that
hunter x hunter is an anime
thanks
have a great day
Have fun!
We have grumpy fish!!!
Grumpy fiiiiiiiiiiiish!
Is there anywhere posted what the daily gameplay loop is likely to be? I've watched some QA's on youtube, just curious. Looking forward to the game.
Not really! At the end of the official trailer you can see a demonstration of what gameplay might look like, but not a demonstration of daily activities.
that fish is adorable and grumpy and i love it
karsaaaa hi mom
Riiiiiin!!! Hi kiddo!! How ya doin?
Good morning everyone
Good morning Kikuchi!
Good morning ๐ I just saw grumpy fish and it's amazing!
mother karsa i am vibing
Vibe well my child, vibe well.
To what are you vibing?
Life is challenging. They are testing our resolve. We must fish out all the grumpy fish!
but.... kitsuu
Grumpy fishโฆ is pretty cool though.
But my will is unwavering!! Give to me my beloved Kitsuu!! 
For real though, I love the colors. Iโm a huge fan of game fish (and real fish for that matter) Iโm really hoping for some gorgeous rare fish~
can we start a petition for a kitsuu character card

I demand that everyone sign it! The Kitsuu Yakuza demands it!!
or you'll break their ankles?
I signed it over 2 months ago ๐
Goodโฆ good. Excellent.
Sign all the things!
I've been putting my signature on every document I could find for the past 9 years, all with different signatures that are not my name, to expose how unreliable of a system it is
I mean what
I always go against the stream, therefor I am Grumpy Fish
Youโre grumpy cuz you have to work so darn hard! But they do say the Koi that makes it all the way upstream transcendsโฆ so, good luck!!

Woa. Thatโs deep..
"if given a choice to do something, or nothing, I'll choose to do nothing, but I will do something if it helps someone else do nothing. I'd work all night if it meant nothing got done" - is the full quote xD
Thatโs why I said it was deep! I had to look it up, haha! Working hard so that someone else can take a hecking break. Thatโs valuable.
Just want to thank all the people supporting my cause in suggestions. You guys are the real mvp.
frosty can i have a pancake

The invisible ever watching friendly AC1DUCKY
ooh hi duck
you're set to invisible so i didnt realise you were awake
Thanks for being a hero, Duck
I think one of those systems where you have to react to something or whatever to unlock the rest of the server would keep some of these spammers out
"There goes my herooo, watch him as he goes"
I NEED A HEEEEROOOO, I'm holding out for a heroooo - Duck arrives
recently I joined a server where a bot dmd you a number code you had to copypaste into a certain channel, then you would get access to the rest of the server
i'm actually on off, but i'm still eyeing my lovely pals โค๏ธ
Duck.. duck.. duck.. RIN
Hi D. Duck! I hope youโre well!!
I'M NOT A GOOSE
We're changing the rules of the game Rin, this is the palia version. It's duck duck duck cat now
Cuz cats > geese
:o
Yes!
Hi
Did someone say there's a goose in here?
Iโm not a snitch ๐คซ
Snitches get ๐จ
Hammered?
๐ตโ๐ซ ๐จ
Hm....
Pirate getting hammered by Chuu the Builder?
Fixed it ๐คค
Evil Chuu beats up defenseless confused yellow person
Had some issues. Brain is tiny + Mobile made it confusing
How has your day been Milky?
Happy timezone!

It's been okay. About to get off work so I'm happy.
That's good! ๐
Happy timezone Sane
How about you?
Chilling with some spicy noodles so I'm great
<@&830144903652311090>
I am jealous ๐
Is this a scammer?
thanks lovely pals ๐ฆ
How dare they corrupt the sanctuary that is Palia ๐
It's a common theme around this time of day
I'm glad duck is pretending to not be here but DUHN DUHN DUUUUUH, they are
Duck watches everything
But I want free discord nitro
Then use your hotline and phone a friend
Hmm...
i am omni-omni
I just call TDB when I need something
what does that even mean
Jk. I don't need nitro I have it 
really just flexing huh, Milky
omni-everything like omnipresent, omniscient, almighty Duck
ducky ducky can you ask the other ducks about the "do a thing before you can get to the rest of the server" idea
i think it would help reduce the amount of spammers...
i dont think almight starts with omni
isn't that just called omnipotent.
no that's when you can always have children
hey guys wanna play
p a l i a
ohhh, I see ๐
i was trynna think of it, stuck at the back of my tongue LOL
omnislash
lolol
Omniduck 
omnibonk
Rin I would not doubt that you have some backdoor access to the game at this point.
omniyeet
I have omniluck
Omnipalia
Omniman?
Omnikitsuu

s6 sent me an email saying "lol nerd" and that was it
(they didnt do that)
Tomorrow I'm gonna say "remember that time rin got an email" and it's gonna spread like wildfire (he didn't get one)
๐
This is gonna end with him probably getting an actual email (maybe I'm not psychic)
s6 emails me an email titled SHUT UPPPP and its just a screenshot of my message count
Lol ๐
I'm closing in on 10k, only a month after rin
:o congrats
How do you know the message count?
use the search function in the top right, from:(your name and id)
the amount of results is the amount of your messages
Ahh okay
damn, only 794, gotta step my game up
i believe in you
a horrible idea, but thank you
pat pat
It's weird but your username makes me desperately want to go to a cottagecore coffeeshop and relax with a slice of cake
i read that as slice of coffee and i dont know how that would work
I can't see the username
A slice of coffee XD
Like, slice a coffee bean in half and make a serving out if that?
just click on his icon and it'll show in white text
or highlight it
but yeah the he/they color sucks lol
Seems reasonable
@warm plover what does it say for my count?
2761
I assume there's more in the secret channels, but i cant see those so it only shows this number
It only counts if they're talking to us, right?
funny you'd mention that, it is my plan for Palia! :D
Wait Dadjoke I didnt think you were a tester
Thanks Rin, you're a good housecat
Now i am even more conviinced on dadruu
Does anyone else randomly imagine an imaginary pet and give them weird names?
It's 99% certainty it's modeled after DadJoke
I'm actually a tube of plastic cement
I didn't name them but my head decided to make up elephants out of the plastic bag that was on my floor one night
Aww
So that's a yes
Hey, I'd be happy to get even that just to confirm whether my email is even in their system 
yknow what? fair
At this point my assumption is that people above 2k messages are for sure getting a pass because that number is low
stares at my 17k messages
Rin in the time I got 1k messages you got 10k, its kinda scary
the power of not shutting up ever
Idk how, I've been here non stop since day 1 and I'm on 9k
Didn't you go on a Palia vacation for a bit?
Yea, I looked at you second, you have spurts of typing just as much as rin, but rin just lives throwing up words

This but it's a cat and the rainbow are words.
Yeah that seems accurate Ana 
๐
One day, Rin will get into a Palia test, and we will never hear from him again
That's .... Kinda terrifying to think about
It's a pattern
at least we'll hear from all the missing testers again. as they'll be coming here for some peace and quiet 
Speaking of...Blessed shimmerflies everyone! 
I mean, Rin is kinda like one of the three monkeys of the chat.
Rin the talker
Turtle and Duck the watchers
And the listeners are all the lurkers.
I am finally home โบ๏ธ
Welcome home Milky!
I'm simply too powerful for them
Blessing to you too Over 
Hi Milkyyyyy!
Thanks Ana. And hello Karsa :3
๐ฏ
Hope your night was okay Milky
Yah. IDK what to do now that I am home ๐
Play games of course
That grumpy fish is EVERYTHING ๐
Good day yall
Yes. Fish is good.
Now the fishermen of the chat have something to actually catch
Yeah but which one โบ๏ธ
The good one
What games do you have Milky?
He has over 800, don't get him started it'll never stop
Oh wow
I instantly remember that video where seal makes random sounds and one of them is "fimbsh"
I am that seal
I don't know about that. That fish is too much of a spirit animal.
fimbsh
Fimbsh
You can just check my steam if you want ๐
I couldn't catch a cold
That's a lot of games lmao
But you did catch a Mrs DadJoke so you have some skill at least right?
"Imagine meeting someone in the Palia discord" - DadJoke, making fun of people meeting on discord
Berry, have you already made an art for fish???
๐
Of course!
It may or may not have been within 5 hours of the gif being posted xD
Fast as heck boiiii
I was in a mood of grump, so it fit
Are you still grump?
Nah I've calmed down now ^^
(I was making fun of myself...)
Grumpy berry nuuuu
The Ex-Mrs. DadJoke would not agree with you
So someone who met someone on discord? ๐
Good :3
Berry no grumpy
Life good
Mmm Fish
Another day thinking about Palia, when will it be playable? ;-;


Within 3 years
Play in your heart~
I am xD
Should make that into art, or something like โone dayโ
I'm avoiding sleep so I can play it more in my head

TBD!
A plaque for your house lmao
The "The more you know" animation, but with "Much less than 3 years"
I'm not slow. I just got up. Shh.
You should sleep
But Berry! If you sleep, you can play Palia in your
๐D R E A M S ๐
My brain doesn't like dreams xD I don't get them
Step one to playing Palia: Learn to Lucid dream.
someone fishing?
What's step 2?
Repeat
Profit.
I thought it was invade developers dreams on palia
Nah my head is already lucid full time, part of why I don't like sleeping
Inceptioning some game ideas
Now your thinking with Portalias
Lmao
Well done
Iโm unberryvably proud yes

You should be, it's much better than being emberrysed
Since Amelia didn't tell us, what should we call that grumpy fish?
Big grumpo, its what my partner called it the instant I showed them
I know "Grumpy Fish" is wonderful, but the species needs a name.
Grrby
Fishius Grumpius
Of the Genus Grump
Maybe they suffer from RBF :o
Really Bad Friends? No wonder they're grumpy
Resting birch fish!
They look grumpy but they are the best friends I could ask for โค๏ธ
I imagine they are like fish pugs. Grumpy faces but absolutely adorable and playful
That's because you're the best
I wanted to make Anger Fish (like Angler Fish) work, but I don't think it does
Devil horns and reddish face markings?
grumpo prime?
Grumbus Fishus
I would love if that was a major point of his character that he wouldnt kill any fish
Thatโs why he breaks so many rods, heโs trying to be so careful 
And I thought it was cause once they bite he yanks to launch them into orbit
chaos
Someone pls make that "Don't talk to me I'm Angy" meme with the Grumpy fish plssss
Fish: I wanna be a sky whale when I grow up!
Einar: Why wait?!
You almost made me wake Kit!!!! I choked!
I'm just here to brighten your days
I bet Einar has a mighty yeet
You ever type out a joke and then think "Wow, that is way too far, and way too dark for hashtag palia-chat!"
Every day
Literally at least once per day do I write something, read it like 4 times and go.. nah
Yโall think in hashtags?
#proudpoppop
#screm
not bad
Thank you for asking, Ana. I woke up before my alarm, had some coffee, put on Cat TV for my kitten, and I'm letting the kids sleep in.
You know it started off okay, then it went belly up and then sideways, but then I embraced grumpy fish and now I'm all good, waiting for my appointment in an hour and then, then I'm gonna do what I do best, nothing! How about you?
Being entertained by this chat and chilling under a blanket with hot chocolate. The rest of the day kinda went by in a haze.
I always forget #timezones with you
I'm in the same time zone as Rin.
8:20 pm
CAT TV
Good timezone Cinnatoasty
Yeah, my kitten loves it.
Hi Cinna, dear!
YES
One of my mom's dogs will turn her back and hang her head when she is upset / feels ignored xD
Awww
My cat will stare at you and scream non stop for hours or until you look at him
Oh I misread this and thought you were describing yourself
I don't know Berry. I don't make the rules
๐ AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Lmao
Yooo, so like who here owns dogs? or have they bought there own
Do virtual dogs count? :')
I have a dog :3
Does my cat thinking he's a dog count?
It does now! really I'm just thinking about getting a border collie but I'm worried about it tying me down to much. (in palia, for turt)
Iโm a dog guy. My big boi is my fur son
Border collies are a lot of work - er, they need to be worked and kept busy (in Palia)
Border collies are herding dogs right? I heard they try to run around people a lot thinking they are cattle ๐ค
Thats what I heard, I'm less worried about the work to train/love them and more about the restrictions of travelling and moving they will have on my life from any dog. My worst frear is getting a dog and resenting them because they hold me back from travelling. I guess my q is whether you ever had those thoughts as a dgo owner. (in palia)

Dogs definitely can make it more difficult for easy travel.
I've been looking for a game like this and just getting info on it. Excited to find out more.
I mean.... There is one way to travel with dogs easily....
Though collies aren't sled dogs
but like what if I get enough to pull a sled?
Eyy! awwesome join the party man!
Probably should ask an expert rather than me
If you travel, like to do a lot of things outside work, it can be managed but you definitely have to plan your time differently as a dog owner Vs cat owner
Hmm, Ok. Thanks for the answers, I know its a weird place to ask but this is the most diverse a friendly place I know.
You know how in a lot of novels and stuff you can travel anywhere with your pets? Wish that was possible irl
Like how we will hopefully be able to travel anywhere with pets in Palia
Yesss I hope so
This conversation is making me miss my RuneScape dog
I want a really cowardly green lion I can transform into a savage mount with my magic sword
is there a reference I'm missing?
Idk, I think Thundercats?
It's the only thing I know that has cat people in specific colors and a magic sword that powers them all up
Dad only knows it seems
I'd say I'm old, but there was literally a new Netflix show for He-man this month
Ahh I cancelled Netflix cause it was eating too much of my limited money :')
Time to return to the pirate life
Hey you guys. I just joined the discord server, are there any news on the Alpha?
There's already alpha, but you can still apply for future tests
Welcome! Not yet, but we're staying hopeful, haha. 
There was a pre-alpha, but all the invites for that were already sent out and I'm pretty sure it ended a while back already.
Yeah, sorry my bad.
The pre-alpha is ongoing so we can't do anything about that
But I think they said that more people can be invited for future? I don't remember the details
I'm guessing those who had a chance to get invited can't show what the gameplay looks like?
Nope
nope, they all signed an NDA
you fit one of those criteria. are you saying you're also a duck?
Did someone say Ducks?
you're alive!
nish was dead?
๐ข
I'm about to aliven't see you all in 14 hours
Last you spoke, it was going to be days
nish if you die I'll never forgive rin
What happens in Peru, stays in Peru 
Greetings Palians!
greetings ball man
Bye noosh
nishnosh
I hate how some nights I just can't sleep. Last night I didn't sleep more than an hour straight, I just kept waking up.
Wait,,,,, what did Rin do?
Obviously he's responsible for Nish dying
^ they get it
Cats...smh
Everyone knows that cats are always either plotting a heist or plotting murder
Speaking of cats though,
How many of you know about the Dear Kitten videos? ๐
im rinnocent
after that pun, you're not
Rin joined the dark side?!
rinnocent is a well established term for describing the very good best boi that is Rin
Please Send some New invites boys๐
?
โ
what
I'm assuming that you're whatting the "boys" part
Yeah what are boys?
A noise with dirt on it, according to gift shop signs.
Yes, and the previous version of the message which sounded very different lol
Arenโt boys those things in the water that floats and measure waves?
Oh, buoy
Yes boys, thatโs what I said
Friends, in Palia, would you rather have a pet that stayed at home and was always like chilling at your house/neighborhood/whatever, or one that followed you everywhere?
no those are buoys the thing that are natural forming protection for ships and usually have good beaches
why not both?
maybe a choice?
by default it stays at home but if you interact with it you can tell it to follow you.
Story of Seasons games have done this with the "take on walk" feature in Trio of Towns
Good thing to think about. id probably wanna flex my awesome dog to randoms
can I hav
pet birb? perch on shoulder? ๐ฅบ
pet bed bug
having had a bed bug infestation before, never
Follow everywhere pls! But maybe an option to take with you or not? Maybe a leash item that when you use the pet you use on can follow you? Idk.
And maybe the one that stays collects stuff around your house or something?
Yeah, it's a "would you rather" sort of question
I want a pet that comes with, the amount of exploring to do, canโt just leave the poor thing at home
I will take a pet cockroach and I'd like it to follow me everywhere for the reactions
I thought that's what I was
only if it's at least as big as a chihuahua
it would be cool if there was like a small chance that a tree could fall on your pet when you chop it down
!? no?
You monster!

that's not funny.
splat
Both! Special pets to come home to and take care of, and partner pets to work and travel with (and also take care of!).
Do you mind reading the room? We're talking about pets we'd like to take care of here. Not kill.
If it's a would you rather, then I'd prefer for it to be following you as there's already a bunch of furniture and whatnot that you can only see when you go to your house, which you DEFINITELY can't take with you around lol.
Both is not an acceptable answer to a "would you rather" question!
The more personality in the pets the better, I don't just want a image that follows me around
but otherwise I like how Club Penguin did it with Puffles.
Who let you out of your crate?!
Whoops
Why not? ๐
The answer to โorโ is โyesโ
Whoopsie! Home pets then.
Yes
True, puffles were the best
I want to install a doggie door for my pet chapaa
sorry, yo, I'm nonbinary - I don't adhere to two-choice systems 
based
Thats a win of a response
If I absolutely have to pick out of two options.... Travel pet pls. I want to explore with my trusty partner.
My thing is this... -If- my pet was staying at home, I would want it to be able to move around the house. Sit on the bed. Jump on the table. Rub on my leg when I came home. The static 'furniture' pet would be okay, but a little sad.
I was out of the house a lot this weekend, and when I came home, my cat was really excited to see me, and I thought about how nice that would be to have an animal in Palia who was just there when you came back from adventuring or fishing or whatever, just happy that you were back.
Haha, what a thing to say based at xD well played
I accept this
If there was a small chance your pet could rip apart all your furniture while you're out, that would be cool
Couch became Shredded Couch
just like real life
Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking of!
my real answer is I'm okay either way as long as pets are interactive, so I definitely agree with Lex Talionis. I don't want a static little critter following me around or waiting at home; it has to do something.
It would really depend on how often you actually go back inside your house, I guess. I'd rather not have a pet at all (if I was really roleplaying) than have one constantly be waiting for those 10 minutes when I'm home out of hours of me running around the world.
even as basic a function as "collects extra materials on a random chance" is reason enough to get one and bring it adventuring.
โCan you pet the pets?!โ Is the only real question to ask here ๐
I feel you. I think one of the coolest vids I ever saw was of this Army Vet returning home. He walks in the door, his wife says, "Oh, hey, who is that?" Then you just see this streak of fur and a cat is in his arms butting its head against him. :D
What kind of a pet would you want tho?
Pet dog and cat are common but adorable.
Pet turtle would be great
Pet Slimes and pet rocks would be fun too.
Pet birds that fly after you would be so cute
Birb
I want birb
Pet grumpy fish
Pet GreenTurtle ๐

If I could add it as a reaction I would, just know that
In my mind it was already there 
Pets are just asa important as plants in culturing a love for a game too many games throw in different jpegs and leave the AI the same and call it a good pet system
I was barely gone for a day and my cat didn't even want treats, just pets
If there was a small chance where someones dog could become intelligent and take over the planet like that dog from rick and morty, that would be cool
I don't need super in depth leveling for them, I just want a pet with personality damn it
for reaaaaaal
What if.. you bring Einar a pebble and he's like "blink..blink" and gives you a pet of your choosing
No, he gives you the elusive pet fish.
All the choices are dead fish he's caught.
Grumpy fish?!
that really makes it sound like he just finds lost animals and them tries to save them by traumatically putting them in some metal compartment he has.
I feel like Einar would be the catch and release type
out of which he pulls out a pet for you.
What if when you fish, you have the choice to keep it as a pet
I feel like it would be better if the pet dog is a puppy of Tau that Hassian gives you
Really? I get the feeling heโd propeller wind-up yeet with his arms
definitely keeping grumpy fish
I don't get to go out much, but my two cats have a snuggle schedule. Mejo comes in every morning to wake me up, then curls up behind me on the cushion of my desk chair. Bunny comes in every night when it's time to bed, and snuggles up with me and my husband to watch TV for a bit before we sleep.
Einar yeeeeeeet
Letโs not invite Einar to pitch in baseball
I seethe with jealousy
๐Grumplstiltzkin

I see that your grumpy fish is Nordic?
GRUMPLETILTZKIN NOOOOO
AHA! I KNOW WHY THE FISH IS GRUMPY! ITS CAUSE ITS STUCK IN THE CHUU'S MOUTH!!!
๐ ๐ฉ๏ธ ๐
he alive
I don't think praying to strike him with lightning is the way to revive fish
Divine lightning of fish revival
Undead grumplestiltzkin ๐
Frankenfish
Have you tried?
FRANKENFISH!!!!
hahahaha
damn, you got me
#petfrakenfish
No need to seethe. If you have a catto, you can get them to do the same thing. Bunny's ritual started because she had a favorite toy that I would throw for her to chase until she got tired and lay down with us.
Can confirm throwing fly traps into the lake for jolts does not work
What's a fly trap?
what about two?
Those ZAP cages
I do have to note that since Frankenstein is the mad scientist, not the undead creature, calling him Frankenfish just means he's now very smart, not undead lolol.
Ahh okay
I went crazy for the Frankenfish cause there was an actual Frankenfish in a game I played some time ago and this reminded me of that
Oh the fly trap I had in England didn't have electric power but...nvm it's too gross and uncozy to talk about xD
ey, it still gets the meaning across 
if theres no dog petting animation in palia we riot
Not just dog pet. Lemme pet the cats
If we have pets and no way to interact I will find the devs my self and cry
if theres no dog petting animation in palia we riot
Fixed that for you. :3
if theres no~~ dog petting~~ animation in palia we riot
Doesn't have to be exclusively for dogs, should be able to be used on all the fuzzies.
every tamable animal must be pettable
zeki?
Dog: must pet
Cat: must pet
Horse: must pet
Chibi Einar: must pet
I mean.. youโre not wrong xD
If consent is given. 
Can I pet the grumpy fish?
einar doesnt even need to be a chibi
Yes
I always go over my set bars, they are low, but they are there
"Some fish, like groupers, really enjoy being petted." I looked it up. :D
I remember that some fish also like being tickled?
i wanna swim with the colorful fishes ๐ ๐
Ooo grumpy fish!
Question for the devs: Will I be able to throw @ocean stone in a lake?
There's one thing I'm really curious about tho ....
How come no one mention the mustache on the Grumpy fish?
we are fools ignorant of greatness
Itโs part of what makes him grumpy!
If I ever get a pet Grumpy fish tho
Im naming him Don Grumpchino
Really wish I had that grumpy fish reacc right now 
Or Berry's Tish Hug Emote.

And one day a Palia Facepalm emote.
I did not know that that Ashura emote existed but I like it
Thereโs 2 of them ^^ that and a zoomed in one

Nice
daily reminder that you never know when a dev is watching ๐ ๐ ๐
or Rin for that matter
Just saw the fish reveal
I love it! I wasn't really expecting fish models tbh, I wonder how many there'll be!
Just imagine the fanart.
Also forgot that Villager Votes is revealed on Thursday. And that today is Thursday cause I stayed home sick Monday so today feels like Wednesday 
Oh I need to clean my apartment, I'm going to have company this weekend...
Oh deng that fish emote 
And my house is in need of a good cleaning too.
this weekend is finally time to get stuff done!
ooh we can finally see Probably The Chef
I think blacksmith
Yee. I wonder if they have more characters to reveal or if these are the last two for a while.
Too thin to be a blacksmith. I'd be disappointed
I think 2๏ธโฃ is the cook.
1๏ธโฃ is some outdoorsy person, has a wide brim hat hanging on his back.
Think they'll reveal both today if there is no one else to vote after these two? Or will we have to wait another week. I want to see that sick character art asap!
Between past character bios and the really nice shapes on the silhouettes, there's some good educated guesses to be made as to who they are.
They'll just put up another 5...
2๏ธโฃ was put up back when Ashura was, maybe he'll get buried in other options again.

That is sadly a possiblity. Poor Ashura was stuck in silhouetted purgatory for so long.
Was it because everyone knew him from the trailer?
What I am saying is that 2๏ธโฃ has been there since Ashura was as well.
Prolly.
Oh oof. I didn't realize it's been so long for 2 too.
Solid Angy Fish emote Berry.
but am i a friend
hehe, thank you, I couldn't not, you know?
technically Ashura was a few weeks prior, but 2๏ธโฃ was added before the Ashura โ vote.
Ohh. The โ chaos feel like a life time ago.
Speaking of which, the Balance is broken.
โ
Yeah I'm afraid that's beyond repair broken.. we'll just have to be grumpy about it
Did what I could
wow im not a friend i see how it is ๐
YES
You're my friend.
Rin's everybody's friend!
Balance is restored.
OH MY GOD thereโs a big bug! Im gonna die! I donโt know what to do!!
Itโs blocking the vacuum!! Im gonna cry!!
Off topic: love to see the Palian Yakuza is now Kitsuu Yakuza.
And what kinda bug!?
prealpha testers circa 2021, colorised
I have a salt gun for times like that.
They just wanna play with it! The killer is upstairs sleeping!!!
Well played
Sheโs asleep!!
or you can ask it nicely to move
I'd grab a newspaper and smack it, just, make a note of that a newspaper on a tablet or kindle does not work as well
NOOOOO
release it outside.
i think "theres a really big bug" is close enough to an emergency to wake her up ๐ maybe
Itโs too big for that! Iโm in Hawaii!! MONSTERS
new karsa lore
Do you have a bowl and a newspaper?
.22 with snake shot?
Throw a table at it.
^ my favorite now
I canโt get within 5 feet of itโฆ I freeze upโฆ.
We have a big treasure chest I was gonna drop on it but then Iโd have to clean the chest!!!
I think the only choice here is to stare at it and wait for backup
What kinda bug tho? Could throw a blanket over it.
You could toss the sleeping cat at it.
hahaha
Itโs kinda too close to the stairs to go get the killer catโฆ
The cat would play with it..
Are you near the kitchen? is so, open canned cat food, the cat will come.
I solved it, snapped my fingers, it's out of existence now
๐ชฆ here lies karsa...
โฆโฆ ye
You should invest in a flammenwerfen
Teach your child early to face their fears throw kit at it
Burn it with fire..
Itโs thereโฆ the cats flipped it upside downโฆ it canโt moveโฆ.. I justโฆ. I canโt get past it to get to the vacuum.
stands next to burned down house
I got it.. I got the bug.. ๐
Worth it
You got this! What's the worst that'll happen if you go grab the vacuum!?
This is the end for me.
What if it flips back over? And runs at me? What if it climbs up my leg!?!?
Karsa is kitsuu_shocked right now
๐ฑ
You kick it off! And yell at it about respecting boundaries.
Okay. Okayโฆ.. I think Iโm gonna drop the treasure trunk on itโฆ.
Do iiiiit
Incoming wake up call for wife and Kit, in 3..
Iโllโฆ. Beโฆ.. as quiet as I can beโฆ.
I think neither would be upset considering the context
I'll be.. super.. duper.. quie... COME ON AND SLAM!
I canโt. I canโt get near it. Think it will die if I leave it upside down????
Honestly probably
Depends on the bug
Everyone. Iโm sorry! I didnโt mean to ruin the cat Iโm just ahhhhhhhh you know???
You got a flyswatter? those tend to be a bit long at least?
A fly- SIR!!! I wouldnโt be scared of something I could SWAT
mumbles you'd be swatting it with a chest hmmlbllblamhmm
I may still!!!
But it hasnโt moved in a bitโฆโฆ maybeโฆ. Itโs half dead already. Maybe the cats did more damage than I thoughtโฆ.. I may live through this.
NOPE
fear
Fear is the mind killer.
what hell is karsa experiencing now
Think we'll get giant bugs in Palia? O.O
Can you throw a mixing bowl or other container over it?
this is like the scene in a horror movie where the radio suddenly cuts out
This is why I'm glad I have limited emotional response
Hii...
Heeerrroo 
Hi
Just catching up, this Karsa reaction to this bug has me laughing so hard! I'm sooo sorry Karsa! Sick those cats on it!
So this is what Panic at the Discord sounds like
Damn I am proud of this pun, pat myself on the back real quick, damn
Is this game considered an MMORPG?
It is indeed an mmorpg ^^
Well, without the RPG part
A very cozy one at that
more specifically, a "massively-multiplayer community simulation game"
I don't think they ever described Palia as an MMORPG, just an MMO?
(although maybe they didnt even call it that)
How is this not a role playing game?
hey palia pals
true
but at this point i feel like rpg means less "roleplaying" and more "heehoo numbers go brrrrrr"
in that sense, Palia is not that lol
That is an ARPG, Rin.
Itโs supposed to be relaxing and fun
huh
i guess i'm just too used to rpgs meaning murdering stuff
but there isnโt pvp yet? not much action other than hunting animals
Yeah I know
rpgs to me are where you play a role of someone within that world and have a story with it
I lived. But at what cost.
combat might be part of it but not the description
what was the cost?
I think they listed, like, footraces and card games as types of friendly competition during a question about pvp once
although no confirmation on those existing, just that kind of feeling
omg karsa youre alive
Sanity I think, we might need to cook up a health potion
MMOCFRGWHFBR
I think they said they might add more traditional combat later down the line but it would be opt-in
And that stands for?
Care to elaborate?
palia is defo looking like an rpg
What's that?
Massively Multiplayer Cozy Fishing and Relationship Game With Houses, Friends and Big Robots, obviously
MMORPGTISCAHGF
I mean yeah what else come on guys
waiting for a game to update so I can continue working even though my time for work has ended >.>
massively multiplayer online cuddling frogs, greeting well-meaning households, friendship building rite
You did it Karsa! Up top! 
All I want to do is bake bread in Palia
I wanna bake a cake
it's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
And then run a 64 player dungeon
I just want to gather ridiculous amounts of mats to give away randomly. Loved doing that in WoW.
Awwww that's sweet
I got my combat boots and got brave enough to get past it. Already terrified I got the vacuum. Victory was in sight. Butโฆ. The vacuum wasnโt strong enough!!! It clung and flipped itself back over. My life flashed before my eyes. I grabbed a nearby litter pail thing and threw it at itโฆโฆ. I mightโve screamed. Wife is awake an hour early now ๐ฅ
๐
In WoW I got mocked as a carebear. Glad I'll be able to be nice without reason and not be razzed about it. Y'all are my kinda people.
you fought valiantly
We pray for you soldier
You'll be right at home here 
Tell Fox I said hi 
people who poop on others for being nice are just buttheads
Thanks Smigs 
She says hello ๐
Both badโฆ we went and got a neighbor once to help usโฆ.
oof
Ye
so what was the bug?
Ever considered those gimmicky salt-guns?
Those are fun to shoot at people
Heyo
