[summer lark]

lol you're not wrong 👀 it turned into black sludge. worst science experiment ever i tell ya

[knotty silo]

@summer lark That cheese is about as real as the plastic that its wrapped in but i sure love it

[dusty root]

There is only one use for kraft american cheese. and its grilled cheese sandwiches. BUT. My son likes to just take a slice and eat it Q.Q

[summer lark]

It's true, BUT it's that good nostalgia yknow

[knotty silo]

Its ok I am older than google

[faint dawn]

Impossable

[dusty root]

Anyone remember IRC? AIM? YIM?

[knotty silo]

Ya

Who remembers "Ask Jeeves"

[heavy dew]

hit send from the pen

[summer lark]

The AIM notification ding is iconic

[dusty root]

LOOK. I remember looking up directions on MAPQUEST and writing them down.

[summer lark]

Did anyone ever use the website...something about black sheep. It had a bunch of funny short videos on it

I think it's where things like the lemonade duck and salad fingers originated, before youtube

[knotty silo]

I remember playing Oregon Trail and Wolfenstein 3don 3.5 Floppy

[heavy dew]

Lets move to #💬│off-topic-chat follow me!

[summer lark]

albino blacksheep!

[dusty root]

Aight you win. I think you are older :v

[remote latch]

I was born the year the UK was decimilised 🙂

[knotty silo]

Don't make me pull out the big guns and pull out my walkman cassett player

[remote latch]

I had one of those 😛

[summer lark]

...hitclips? did yall have those?

[remote latch]

never heard of hitclips

[dusty root]

Dang. And I thought I was cool when I had a portable cd player...

[knotty silo]

I remember when it used to be safe to be outside

[heavy dew]

I swear #💬│off-topic-chat is a real channel, I promise it's the same as this channel without the Palia related topic

[summer lark]

i feel like i live in an alternate universe or something. no one knows what hitclips are but those were my whole ass childhood 😂

sorry sorry berry you're right!

[remote latch]

And this leads perfectly back to how safe it will be in Palia ... 🤞

[knotty silo]

Yes Safe Neighborhoods

[summer lark]

we love walking around at night in palia

[heavy dew]

I've been making the joke for weeks that off-topic isn't real xD don't worry ^^

[dusty root]

Palia will be a world without rampaging disease. hopefully

[knotty silo]

It is all on topic tho because Palia is about community which is what were talking about

[dusty root]

Be a shame if my animals got something and died 😒

[heavy dew]

Mhmm, mhmm

[summer lark]

I wonder how the neighborhoods will be set up 🤔 Will they be literal neighborhoods where you can walk to other guild members houses? With nice lil cobble stone streets connecting them?

[heavy dew]

One can hope, but there's practical issues with having your home in a guild/neighborhood area

they've said that housing is instanced atm, so most likely solo to the player with invite options or permissions for friends

[summer lark]

I will be plenty happy to wander around the town's streets in the evening 😍

[dusty root]

I'd think the actual homes/farms would have to be instanced areas because of resource limits.

[heavy dew]

The city light picture at night in the blog was so good..

[summer lark]

I KNOW it looks so cozy!

[knotty silo]

@summer lark its like the game paperboy

[remote latch]

ah .. looked up hitclips .. they were around when I was getting music on CDs for the computer rofl

[summer lark]

I haven't heard of that 😮

[knotty silo]

Can i have a pet Chapaa like a small tammagachi?

[heavy dew]

Fingers crossed! not confirmed yet

Pets and "mounts"/fast travel is on their roadmap

[hollow tendon]

I really hope decorating the houses. will not be the same as new world. We're they have a point system. for every item you put in there. The higher items you have in there the higher your score is.

[knotty silo]

LOL every Neighborhood has a creepy old guy thats questionable

[heavy dew]

I think that pre-alpha screenshot of the yard lets us know, there's no such limit

[hollow tendon]

Good

[heavy dew]

The pictures of interiors also seem that you can make rather crowded

[hollow tendon]

new world has a leaderboard house system that is not cool

[remote latch]

what for ?

[heavy dew]

I'm referencing these two pictures btw:
indoor: https://palia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Red-1-1024x577.png
outdoor: https://palia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screenshots1-1024x576.jpg

[hollow tendon]

I am very jealous of those pictures what a beautiful environment

[remote latch]

The house from the trailer is just scratching the surface of what you can do really.```

[heavy dew]

Yeah Nish proved that for sure

[hollow tendon]

@remote latch to answer your question about the housing system. in new world it's just a point system. that who can and who can build the most expensive stuff to up their points.

[remote latch]

ah thats cool I don't care about that side of things .. I just like the idea of having a house 🙂 if I can only have a few things due to points .. fine rofl

[heavy dew]

At this point I'm content if I can just have a digitally physical plane to hang out with you guys

[hollow tendon]

I never understood the point system in the game anyway

I am definitely looking forward to hang out with everybody

[heavy dew]

I'm a simple being who doesn't need much ^^

[remote latch]

I think I read somewhere that there were 1000 items available at launch for your plot .. but I think that may be what the preview event sites reported on

[heavy dew]

I already predict not knowing you needed something and then they made a patch for new furniture and we'll all go: ooooooh this is just what I needed

[worthy rose]

I'm T posing irl

[heavy dew]

Cosplaying as a candlestick?

[faint dawn]

[regal swallow]

If we All T together, we will wrap the world in our wholesomeness

[faint dawn]

Can we T while in bed.

[hollow tendon]

We're all in this Together

[heavy dew]

I feel bad for those who have to be in the oceans..

[faint dawn]

They dont need to be in ocean, we will just dress people in layers and send them to santa

[heavy dew]

What if we make antipodes with people and make an earth hug?

[abstract rover]

this is bothering me because i dont know how to interpret it

[faint dawn]

Just t pose in bed.

[knotty silo]

If you don't know what it is you can't afford it

[faint dawn]

Sleeping

[dusty root]

Mentally I'm imagining someone snuggling their head into the other person's stomach, but I'm confused too.

[abstract rover]

ok good just making sure

[faint dawn]

Who can afford to sleep... haa

[heavy dew]

I can't, to much to do, so little time

checks pocket watch
I'm late!

[dusty root]

For a very important date?

[ocean stone]

peeks into palia chat oh

[heavy dew]

No that's on wednesday so I'm early ^^

[faint dawn]

No time to say hello, goodbye?

[heavy dew]

HI CINNA

[ocean stone]

What is up, pals?

[dusty root]

I'M LATE I'M LATE I'M LATE

[abstract rover]

hello cinna

[ocean stone]

hello csr

[abstract rover]

i would call you cima again but thats an old meme and kinda mean

[ocean stone]

helloooooo blue berry

[faint dawn]

Oooh breakfast is here.

[ocean stone]

it's like, so last week

[ocean stone]

[heavy dew]

I can't be joke mean to anyone because I can't tell when someone is joking or genuinely mean

[dusty root]

Is it Ramen?

[abstract rover]

when i'm talking to you i'm never joking, just genuinely mean /s

[heavy dew]

You have no idea how much I love the /j and /s usage

[deep frigate]

everyone came back to chat when I left!!! but I am back now. good evening, palians!

[heavy dew]

KAENI!

[abstract rover]

hello

[dusty root]

waves

[ocean stone]

hello helloo helloooo

[lyric osprey]

yall play township tale

[abstract rover]

ah reactions
the biggest effort-saver of discord

[deep frigate]

thinking about how lovely all of those lanterns in #🌠│official-art are, and dreaming of carrying one around palia at night

[heavy dew]

Technically they're more effort to do on all of them than just typing "hi" xD

[abstract rover]

i wanna open up one of those lanterns and stick my hand into the flame to see if its hot or not

[heavy dew]

My guess, not, because they're just digital code

[ocean stone]

I have it, but didn't get past the login/signup screen. I felt (irrationally) irritated about doing so in VR. More discussion could be had in #🎮│other-games

[deep frigate]

that is a lil chaotic but go ahead

[dusty root]

Says it's a VR game. Don't have a VR headset.

[ocean stone]

[ocean stone]

unless you're on mobile and your phone brings up :jinaemotesmall: when you type in the letter 'j'

[heavy dew]

I am gonna work on getting that changed xD

[deep frigate]

to be fair, all of these are in my top row of most used emotes on discord so it is easy lol

[abstract rover]

how did i not know about township tale wtf
i've been looking for an open world vr game but havent found one besides no man's sky bruhhhhh thankyou
OH SORRY PALIACHAT uhhhhhhhhh how about that palia guys? hahaha

[ocean stone]

good ted talk bruh

[heavy dew]

Mine are

Very useful ones I'd say

All so friendly and then there's

[foggy prawn]

Henlo everyone ☺️☺️

[deep frigate]

fire chapaa might be friendly

hello!

[heavy dew]

Henlo!

[dusty root]

Just wants to give a warm hug

[foggy prawn]

Fire chapa just lives in australia

[abstract rover]

fire chapaa just lives in hell

[heavy dew]

Why did we say the same thing twice? /j

[ocean stone]

copy-pasta gonna be flung at that wall

[foggy prawn]

Hhhh 😭😭 we’re in lockdown tho so literally the meme of the dog with our house on fire. 😦

[abstract rover]

😳 ❤️ 😊 🤡 👍 😎
theres my top row emotes lol

[heavy dew]

You need to get more Palia ones in there

[rain carbon]

🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢
My top emotes lol

[heavy dew]

HAH, what you did there I 👀 it

How you doing Turtle dove my sweet?

[rain carbon]

just turtling around 😏 😂

[heavy dew]

Wouldn't expect anything else ^^ What did YOU think of the blog post?

[deep frigate]

my other top ones include 😂 and some other server ones i cannot use here 💔

[abstract rover]

no

[rain carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-dancing-celebrate-excited-gif-13870839

[heavy dew]

You know you're gonna be using the facepalm one when it's added

[abstract rover]

no

[heavy dew]

Yeah that's accurate Carturlton

[hollow tendon]

what is going on here

[ocean stone]

[heavy dew]

Most used emotes, csr only saying no, cinna focusing on and asking turtle what he thought of the blog post. All caught up!

[hollow tendon]

Cool

[ocean stone]

Aight ima bounce to try and get past the township tale sign in screen and/or rewatch violet evergarden. Both are trials to be undertaken

[abstract rover]

no

[deep frigate]

does anyone have a favorite NPC from those we have been introduced to?

[heavy dew]

..does the chapaa's count?

If not, Imma have to say Einar

[abstract rover]

my favourite NPC is csr_ph

[deep frigate]

einar seems like a fan fav

[abstract rover]

for that reason alone, i'm going to be a contrarian and say einar is my least favourite
do your worst >:)

[heavy dew]

I relate the most to his thought process ^^

[deep frigate]

yeah i relate most to uhhhh being over 3000 years old

[heavy dew]

Saaaame
it's not easy being a deity

To be fair though all the npc's are so distinct and made to be individuals so I can't pick a favorite

Other than that, Einar is robot/golem, so hopefully he can understand my 1s and 0s in my brain

[hollow tendon]

she is my favorite character

[deep frigate]

I do have a soft spot for robots, I did robotics in high school. I think i would be friends with Tish. But I plan on doing a Tamala cosplay at some point, she is intriguing

[ocean reef]

Bye Palia Peeps early morning here in the uk

[heavy dew]

I don't feel like I can call my brain "binary" anymore because people won't think computer language and I don't like it

[deep frigate]

hmmmm i can see that. I think that 1s and 0s binary is a good way to put it though 🙂 avoids any potential confusion

[heavy dew]

Don't worry binary, you'll always be code to me, I'll always love you

Also I completely brushed over it I do apologize, Robotics! Exciting!

[deep frigate]

that reminds me how my dad taught me binary back in middle school, and in 8th grade I corrected my math teacher when she was talking about it

[deep frigate]

lol no problem. it is exciting though! fun activity

[heavy dew]

Love it, I get logical functions and binary brought up now and then in my current education so that's nice ^^

[deep frigate]

maybe einar can teach us secret robot secrets

[heavy dew]

👀

I just imagine it being things like how to rotate really fast and he'll just spin his torso then wait for us to copy..........

[remote latch]

I now imagine myself spinning around with my arms out rofl

[deep frigate]

[heavy dew]

Robots are cute when they're a bit oblivious to human functions, no einar, we can't just make our head spin 3000rpm

[deep frigate]

I imagine he would call us all young, all of the time, since he is so old

[heavy dew]

Like, Baymax cute

[heavy dew]

I mean we're all but grains of sand in the desert of time

[worthy rose]

Hey

[remote latch]

rofl like I call everyone under 35 🙂

[worthy rose]

Is the c in sucks part of the first or second syllable?

[heavy dew]

second

thank you for coming to my ted talk, there's no motivation to why because that's what teachers do: "Because"

[deep frigate]

sucks only has 1 syllable ??? right???

[remote latch]

depends how you say it rofl

[deep frigate]

me staring in american midwest

[heavy dew]

It is only 1 syllable grammatically, you can make it 3 if you like, Su ck s

[remote latch]

when I say sucks and socks there is a slight pause between the suh/soh and cks part

[heavy dew]

^ accents/dialects and all that

Then again you can say "water" like "wouh"

[remote latch]

exactly .. there is no t in waher

[heavy dew]

But there is water in tea

[remote latch]

yep

[heavy dew]

Thank you with that I will be attempting to sleep again xD I've reached that point

[deep frigate]

I guess I am from a state that is known for saying things differently, so I can't say much about that

[remote latch]

I live on an island and there are at least 10 different accents in the south alone

[deep frigate]

ponders palian accents

[remote latch]

I was born in Oxford, bought up in London, spent childhood in Essex and back to London .. I have a mongrel accent according to my Londoner friends .. but my brother who is 6 years younger has a very strong London accent. Would be interesting to see if the different skin tones on the elves denote different groups with different accents ( whew could turn it into a Palia comment ) 🙂

[deep frigate]

yes it will be interesting to see (hear) if palians have accents

[remote latch]

ok .. off to bed .. but will leave this morsel of humour for those coming along later rofl

[dusty root]

Alright. My wall of text in suggestions is done. Time for the anxiety.

[undone rover]

Sup

[carmine relic]

Aye!

[undone rover]

Has the game been released yet? Been awhile since I checked

[fluid oracle]

nope

[carmine relic]

You're a couple years early

[undone rover]

Rip

Y e a r s ?

I was told a year or two at most

[carmine relic]

Yeah. It's what everyone says, "much less than 3 years"

[undone rover]

Oh well

The pre alpha looked decent

[carmine relic]

Well, at least it means you can brag about being here before it even existed!

[sand barn]

Don't get too close to the sun @carmine relic !

[carmine relic]

I won't, don't worry! I'm as far from it as possible, funnily enough

[deft sonnet]

Mm good soup.

[carmine relic]

Soup

So a duck walks up to a Palia server, and says to the man, sitting in chat:

[spring rivet]

good morning pals! 🦆

[sand barn]

Good quakening!

[pure badge]

Good morning yall!

[carmine relic]

Dang, now I got the stupid lemonade stand song stuck in my head

[sand barn]

Have we ever asked you disco duck what you're most excited for in palia?

[warm plover]

is this prealpha knowledge 🤔

[carmine relic]

It's probably "we have lost track of how old the 2-3 years message was and now moved to 1-2 years"

[spring rivet]

I'm excited to quack around in Palia

[carmine relic]

And to bill-d a community?

[sand barn]

Your answer does not disappoint. I hope to see you waddle around

[carmine relic]

I can't wait to see everyone running about.

[sand barn]

I can't wait to obnoxiously offer people food

[carmine relic]

I will gladly accept your food so I can pass it to others who may need it

[sand barn]

:( is my food not good enough for you?!

[carmine relic]

No, I just do it to help your good stuff reach even more people!

[sand barn]

Excellent diplomatic answer there gambit, I shall give you extra food

I keep forgetting to mention that your pfp reminds me of merasmus from tf2. It's really cool!

[carmine relic]

Aye, that's the source image!

I don't know why, but side/third-relevant characters from Valve games like Merasmus and Portal 2's Cave Johnson always have the most amusing of personalities.

[sand barn]

Cave Johnson was hilarious

I'm hoping for equally charming npcs in palia, some sass would be great

[carmine relic]

If not, I can always try my best

[sand barn]

"Ground up moonrocks are pure poison.. I am deathly ill"

His whole rant on lemons.. so good. And please go on such similar rants about grumpy fish in palia Gambit

[carmine relic]

The lemon speech

Absolutely

[sand barn]

Or just start walking around singing "I'm the hobo king"

[carmine relic]

(Harmonica solo)

[sand barn]

I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible grumpy fish!

[carmine relic]

When Palia gives ya Grumpy fish... don't make an aquarium. Make Palia take the grumpy fish back! Get mad! I don't want your grumpfish, what am I supposed to do with these?!

[spring rivet]

[sand barn]

Demand to see Palia's manager! Make Palia rue the day it thought it could give you grumpy fish

[carmine relic]

Demand to see Palias manager, make life rue the day it thought it could give Gambit G. grumpy fish! Do ya know who I am?! I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the fishes!

[sand barn]

Don't give us that face Duck! You know we love the grumpy fish

[carmine relic]

They are kinda cute. Ish. Sorta.

[sand barn]

They have that grumpy charm, like your granddad who tells people to get off his lawn

[carmine relic]

I should actually probably try and sleep. It's about to hit 3am

[sand barn]

If you stay up a few more hours, maybe you'll start hallucinating Palia

I do not recommend it, don't be sleep deprived

[carmine relic]

Or I can just dream of Palia

[sand barn]

Fair point.. fair point

[carmine relic]

Anyway, time for sleep. Goodnight!

[faint dawn]

Id rather dream of palia than what i just dreamed about..

Ni ni gambit

[sand barn]

Bye gambit!
Do you want to share Ana?

[faint dawn]

Nahh tho oddly at the end.. there was kids next door mixed with phineas and ferb....

Wouldnt mind that dream either...

[sand barn]

That does sound odd 🤔

[faint dawn]

I get weird ones..

[sand barn]

The signs of a creative brain? :D

[faint dawn]

Maybe or it likes to torment me..
Had a dream once of gping to the restroom... and i wake up... still needing to go to the restroom...

[sand barn]

Mine uses to torment me a lot when I was younger, frequent nightmares are fun

[faint dawn]

I dont like nightmares either..

[sand barn]

Had a dream where I was in a movie theater run by vampires once, that one was pretty amusing. They served popcorn with bloodter (blood and butter was my guess?). Very friendly though

[faint dawn]

That would be a nightmare for me xD

My mind would be upset the popcorn is ruined

[sand barn]

I definitely refused their choice of toppings

Strangely enough though, I didn't register it as scary. It was like a normal part of society?

[faint dawn]

Maybe a metaphor? Idk.. anyways.. i nees to getback to sleep.. its only 4 am.. xD

[fluid oracle]

hello earthlings

[faint dawn]

Hoii

[sand barn]

Sleep well! And hello Xyz!

[fluid oracle]

what is on the menu today

[sand barn]

Grumpy fish maybe?

[surreal crest]

hemlo

[fallen summit]

Hello to you too Chair and also everyone else!

[stone sierra]

Hello everypal o/

[ocean reef]

Morning Palia peeps , thought I'd say a quick hello, now to do hubby's breakfast

[leaden gulch]

hello peeps

@fallen summitany story time today?

[fallen summit]

Yeah, I'm keeping it in my mind XD Yesterday we were just so tired after coming home that we practically just went to sleep soon after. Slept for 11 hours today, so should be good

[cinder temple]

Heck. I double-checked collage entries and still missed stuff! Just goes to show that nobody's perfect, especially not @heavy dew.

[surreal crest]

Pond Patrol, Pond Patrol dudududu Pond Patrol, Pond Patrol!

[cinder temple]

A wise chair knows better than to

rustle the ducks.

[wide lintel]

Good morning all future Palia venturers. I've not seen a lot of details around combat, will dungeons / raids even be a thing?

[surreal crest]

well, we will get hunting, and I suspect that's all in terms of combat

[warm plover]

They mentioned they might add more traditional combat later down the line
As for dungeons... well, my memory is faulty, so let me check

There will be group adventures, maybe dungeon like, but we won't have huge raids that require lots of prep and grinding beforehand```

[wide lintel]

Ah this is good, there will be some form of combat. Thanks Rin & Chair!

[warm plover]

dont expect too much from the combat side of things though

Hi Jeguer, we're not ready to get into detail on this yet, but we'll have both combat like systems, such as Hunting, and eventually more traditional combat. Like most of our skills, you'll be able to choose your level of participation in it.```
```[S6] Bourbon — 06/06/2021
Hunting is the most action-oriented skill in the pre-alpha.  But you are right - it's NOT combat.    We have some really exciting plans in the "action" space for this game, but I can't tell you anything about them right now.  Your patience is appreciated here.```
```[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
We won't have dedicated roles, or roles themed around combat. Hence trying to avoid the traditional RPG vibes```
heres a collection

[wide lintel]

Thanks this clears things up. Will have to wait and see what they are cooking up. Also guess PvP won't be a thing (which is good, this game should not be something competitive)

@warm plover some solid info thanks for pulling it for me

[warm plover]

pvp is asked about a lot and, from my vague memory, i think they mentioned pvp might be a thing in, say, the form of card games or friendly competition rather than fistfights in the middle of town

[regal swallow]

Palia von Paliasburg?

[warm plover]

anyway i gotta go take a shower so i cant answer any more questions sorry
if you wanna know more, check #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #❔│game-faqs and vlad's document (fourth from the top in pins)

[wide lintel]

Remember to wash behind your ears

[regal swallow]

And I cant answer well either due to

Pvp maybe like a fishing or crop contest

[topaz crag]

Yeah I'm hoping since this game seems to have very Harvest Moon/Rune Factory esque vibes that we'll get to see a lot of fun events/festivals/contests/tournaments and that sort of thing as being the game's version of "pvp"

[fair dragon]

Good morning guys I hope everyone slept well!

[fiery fulcrum]

Goodmorning Palia chat ❤️

[rose pier]

[hollow tendon]

Wow

[remote latch]

what ?

[hollow tendon]

You wrote a lot there but a well-done message.

[heavy dew]

How many versions is there now? 6?

[remote latch]

thanks. it's pre-written so copy and paste, with variants to provide a giggle now and then 🙂

7 now

[heavy dew]

Also hi, morning, I too am awake

[abstract rover]

good morning.

[remote latch]

all 7 are posted during the last week if you want to hunt them all down .. or you can wait to see which one I post next 🙂

[heavy dew]

Gotta catch em' all

[hollow tendon]

Pokemon

[abstract rover]

it's bright and early, 07:07 and we're dreading the workday ahead

[heavy dew]

I'm currently in a meeting, well, actually.. I'm currently talking here with the meeting in the background

[abstract rover]

cant say i blame you

[heavy dew]

I mean the information is conveyed so slow I could learn it in my sleep

[remote latch]

well, need some cheering up during your work day .. this is the one I posted before going to bed early this morning : #💬│palia-discussions message

[abstract rover]

meetings are designed for old people so yeah it's slow

[heavy dew]

Meetings/seminars etc are supposedly retrofitted to be good for most, sadly "most" isn't the category I belong to so it's always "wait for the class" type of shticks going on

But that's a me problem so I'm always doing a couple more things at the same time ^^

[sand barn]

Most meetings are pointless and could be done via email...

Don't point at what I said, I said pointless!

[heavy dew]

[sand barn]

[heavy dew]

I like compressed information, it's much more giving than having 5 lines of text but only 1 contains actual information, it's my biggest peeve with the material I have to work with, 150 pages? The information could be boiled down to 20 pages of actually useful info

Then again I also don't like wasting time or small talk, which lets be honest are the same thing

[sand barn]

Tell that to my colleague who sent a "brief recap" that was more equivalent to a Bible than an actual brief recap

That's pretty much how my facial expressions evolved, yes

[heavy dew]

Mine too so I thought as much xD

[sand barn]

The one time I'm actually glad to have a medical appointment so I don't have to attend a 3.5hr long meeting 😂

[heavy dew]

The amount of meetings I'm in that contain just 10 minutes combined time of "uhm"'s

Stop saying uhm, silence is much better!

[livid hill]

Any release date yet?

[sand barn]

Soon

[heavy dew]

Much sooner than 3 years

[manic halo]

Does anyone know when Palia will be release ?

[sand barn]

Ish...

[heavy dew]

Much sooner than 3 years

[livid hill]

3 years wtf??

[manic halo]

Okay

[heavy dew]

No that's not what I said

[worthy rose]

Ye thats like less than 4 years and more than 1 year

[heavy dew]

I said "much sooner than 3 years"

[worthy rose]

Somewhere in betwren

[livid hill]

Stop it 😦

My brain cant handle this

[sand barn]

And they said much sooner than three years, three-ish months ago. So its more like.. 2.75 years if you think about it

[versed sail]

Much sooner than 2.75 years

[heavy dew]

The studio itself is only 3 years old, they just finished pre-alpha, it's a long way to go until release and there is no release date yet. when asked about the regular time frame which would be 3 more years, their response was "can't give a specific date but they're much closer than 3 years to launch"

that's the context, roughly paraphrased
source: #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message

[kind violet]

all good things come for those who wait 🙂

[versed sail]

I would rather wait than have to deal with an unfinished game being launched.

[sand barn]

Something something a rushed game is forever bad, but a delayed game is eventually good

[heavy dew]

I doubt they'll rush anything, they're already working at lightspeed from my pov

[versed sail]

Just cause I reeeally want the bread, doesn't mean I want to eat it before it's baked.

[heavy dew]

Good reference haha xD and if you want the toast expansion you gotta wait a bit more

[remote latch]

The good news is that they have the experience from big name companies to help them make those decisions

[heavy dew]

Oh hell yeah

[sand barn]

Your toast must be purrfectly toasted then

[versed sail]

[wispy meadow]

[blazing crescent]

Good Morning eveyone 😄

[sand barn]

Morning rosskow

[abstract rover]

when palia release

please give archaeological time period

[late canopy]

When it’s ready

[abstract rover]

that is not an archaeological time period

[fathom patrol]

Would Palia be able to scratch the Runescape skillin itch?

Or is skilling way easier/shorter?

[late canopy]

Old rs still good

[fathom patrol]

Not for 10€/month

And I really loved Dungeoneering which is not in Osrs

I'll probably go with Rs3, but new alternatives are always nice.

[abstract rover]

Xrystal can prob help you with that info. i can't because i'm an idiot

[heavy dew]

Xrystal can help you with next to anything

[fathom patrol]

How does one ask a bot?

[heavy dew]

She's a person like this: @remote latch

She has been summoned, she'll arrive shortly

[fathom patrol]

Oh, wikiBOT confused me.

[heavy dew]

It's not the first time dont worry ^^ she's just very organized with the faqs and dev comments etc etc

[remote latch]

what what

[fathom patrol]

.

[remote latch]

How does Runescape skilling work ?

[faint dawn]

I would answer.. but

[fathom patrol]

Slow grind with new things to do everay few levels.

[surreal crest]

hello new friend!

[remote latch]

okay .. lets see .. they have said it will be grindy to a limit

[fathom patrol]

And of course 24 differnt things to level/skill

[heavy dew]

I know they've said you can play 1 hour a day or 16 if you want and you can fish all day or do all the things, find it hard to keep up with all professions but it's possible, but they see people having 3 main ones. I'd imagine there's increase and what not. But this is only a short summary from memor

[remote latch]

Here's a block of quotes I extracted before that contained the word skill. ```

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
Can't expand beyond the skills that were announced. But there will be more and we'll prioritize the things players are asking for

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
We want people to get into a skill and start to identify with it. We expect people will have 2-3 skills that they really invest in and build their persona around.

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021
We're starting simple but very keen to make gardening a legit skill long term. Feedback always welcome

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021
I think we have some interesting diversity of plant choice already though :smile:

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021
Our skill system will be sarap AF ??

[S6] Bourbon — 06/06/2021
We're very keen on co-operative features for all of our skills. Can't say anything specific beyond that.

[S6] Aidan — 06/06/2021
Hi Wido, yes you can. Most of our skills are designed to allow you to opt in to the degree you want.

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021
Its not all about filling bars, but there's that too

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
Lots of bars to fill up, won't say much more for now

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
Even though we're trying to avoid the typical grind of MMOs, you'll have lots of bars to fill up and levels to grind, yes```

[surreal crest]

you know there's gonna be that 1 guy 100% everything

[heavy dew]

I know that guy very well

[remote latch]

yep and they know it too

[abstract rover]

i know someone like that

i also know someone who plays runescape nonstop. literally 24/7

[fathom patrol]

If they "want" you to focus on 3 skills it might actually be slow-ish, which is exactly what I want.

[indigo cairn]

As a old-school runeacape fan I'm going for it all

[fathom patrol]

Idk why they want to focus on 3 skills though, why not just get everything.

[remote latch]

Their words were that it would be a challenge to do ALL THE THINGS .. and you might not want to do ALL THE THINGS .. I'll hook those two quotes out

[faint dawn]

NDA kills me, not gonna lie..
And i love how xrystal can bring up things i never knew were publically said.. but i feel ifi said those things id be breaking nda..

[surreal crest]

if you have enough time on you, you can do everything B)

[heavy dew]

Nah they haven't said they want you to they've just said they could see that's where most would end up, Xrystal will get the quote

[surreal crest]

you probably still can't confirm these things, even if they were said by the devs haha

[fathom patrol]

I just love having the possibility, even if It's very time consuming to realize it.

[surreal crest]

you can do what you want, no worries

[heavy dew]

I mean, if you just quote an actual dev comment you're not breaking anything because it's not YOU saying it, you're only directing it

[faint dawn]

🙊

[heavy dew]

I'm not even under NDA but I only use quote or paraphrasing and don't answer if it's not official because personal opinions are wrong

[abstract rover]

hot take: palia has no skills. what they mean by skills is your irl muscle memory and skill with game mechanics just like csgo

[heavy dew]

What you mean skill in csgo? Just click their heads, it's not hard

[abstract rover]

funny haha meme

[heavy dew]

That's all you have to do, click their head

[sand barn]

Instructions unclear, I clicked my own head

[limpid bobcat]

head is stuck in computer help

[sand barn]

Wait, that sounds more morbid than I thought it would

Nooooo

[heavy dew]

You have been spotted by ducky

Friendly AC1Ducky above! ✈️

[abstract rover]

nobody said what youre clicking with

[sand barn]

Ducky is watching... waddling... quaking..

[abstract rover]

quakck

[sand barn]

Cookie clicking!

[limpid bobcat]

To kill the time while I wait for palia I started playing my time at portia on switch but its not online so kind of lonely :c

[remote latch]

No hard lockouts, but you'll find it challenging to keep up with ALL THE THINGS```   ```[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
Some things will be harder to craft and require more materials but we are careful about where and how players have to grind```  ```[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
Really depends on the activity. I expect some folks will gravitate and even specialize in certain things they like more. But technically you can do it all```

[heavy dew]

I like "technically"

[fathom patrol]

Xrystal ❤️

[remote latch]

If you want to craft the ultimate dragon statue of godly kings you'll probably say you grinded some, ya```

[abstract rover]

jack of all trades, master of none... sounds unbased and kinds cringe,
baristafia for life

[heavy dew]

I mean I'm a jack of all trades and master of all, you're just not trying hard enough

[abstract rover]

that means you have cheats and you'll get VAC ban

[heavy dew]

Become a master of all trades by following this 1 simple step, just learn bro

[remote latch]

We try to be honest with ourselves when we evaluate a system. Is this something players want to grind? Is it meant to be social? We try not to allow those two to overlap so we can really make them good at what they're meant to do```  This one sounds like any social activity will seem less grindy than those done alone.   Which sounds about fair... you can play alone and have fun .. but much better if you have a friend around to help you out rofl

[sand barn]

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

[heavy dew]

I think social players and completionists will both find their way

[abstract rover]

nishy poo

[heavy dew]

I mean normally, but when you're part of the 1% 👀

[worthy rose]

I'm a jack of no trades, master of none. Somehow I do nothing and still spend a lot of time in every game

[fathom patrol]

Social play increasing efficiency is meh in my opinion.

[sand barn]

1% of cookie clickers, you know it

[cedar egret]

will there be an economy system?

if any of you guys know of it

[abstract rover]

yes, it'll be player driven too from what we know

[cedar egret]

😱

I shall hope that It will be good

[warm plover]

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```

[surreal crest]

I'm this, but IRL

hm. We need a bot to trigger these haha

[heavy dew]

OR, constant links to the FAQ document

[surreal crest]

OR a bot named Xrystal.

[heavy dew]

The answer to every sentence with a "?" will be: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E/edit#

[surreal crest]

or

[heavy dew]

I kinda miss when the answer to every question was xD

[sand barn]

Are you saying the meaning of life is answered in the FAQ?

[heavy dew]

Find out here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E/edit#

Go read xD

[surreal crest]

Hi! You can find answer here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E/edit#

[sand barn]

Can someone link it to me again? Third time is the charm

[heavy dew]

This is the link to the FAQ document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ECHPsDvyC0KP6ldYRaeFtmR0mhwBVGckWEPcH_zNc7E/edit#

[sand barn]

For anyone wondering about anything palia related, one of those links will help you!

[heavy dew]

Or, all of them

[abstract rover]

How do the being do having of the while we more do might be that there won't by will not be doing?

[remote latch]

❓

[sand barn]

The answer is cheese

[abstract rover]

did i stutter

[remote latch]

is that an anagram of a sentence ?

[abstract rover]

no

[sand barn]

I didn't. The answer is cheese

[abstract rover]

its a question

[sand barn]

Or duck, when in doubt it's a disco duck

[spring rivet]

[remote latch]

whew .. I'm not the only confused one

[abstract rover]

what is there to be confused about? its just a question

[fathom patrol]

Not sure if you're serious, but that sentence didn't really look like a sentence.

[sand barn]

Wait, have I ever asked you what your favorite type of duck is?

[fathom patrol]

More like a code.

[abstract rover]

possibly 😳

[spring rivet]

All duck, is good duck.

[abstract rover]

dammit berry xD

[heavy dew]

Thank you, I'll be here all day

[abstract rover]

friends. it is with great sadness that i must announce that i am nearly out of coffee.

and i have 4 1/2 hours left on my shift.

[sand barn]

Then you have 4.5hrs left to get more coffee

[spring rivet]

More caffeine

[abstract rover]

i am unable to acquire more coffee

my friends, i'm afraid this may be the end of days

[spring rivet]

Sending virtual ☕

[fathom patrol]

My stance on caffeein is, if I'm sleppy I'll just go to sleep instead of chemicals.

But, results my vary depending on your location.

[abstract rover]

you see, i would sleep rn but i have a job to do xD

[fathom patrol]

Is there a difference between sleeping and being half asleep on the job, though? Productivity is the same.

[green jetty]

dont get paid for sleeping tho 😅

[abstract rover]

there is a difference. if i am asleep then i'm doing nothing. being half asleep i am still performing tasks

[celest maple]

oh man i forgot this game was a thing until i started clearing out my discord server list

looking over the art it looks like its coming along though

[heavy dew]

Welcome back to the waiting room ^^

You should also check out the blog in #📢│palia-news if you haven't, it's about pre-alpha

Which has concluded

[celest maple]

thanks, i will actually. ive always been super into stuff like the original harvest moon, rune factory, stardew, and now that WoW has repeatedly beat itself in the ankles with a sledge hammer, it would be great for something to take its vacant spot.

[heavy dew]

I mean Palia just seems to me to be the chill mmo game the world has needed for 10 years but never got, so I mean, time someone filled that void

[fair dragon]

^^

Also I have a question it's about the characters will yall be revealing anymore or was I too late

[heavy dew]

The villagers? in #📮│public-polls

[fair dragon]

Yeah

[celest maple]

heres to being cautiously optimistic about the project.

[heavy dew]

"This means we're taking a brief step away from Villager Votes to work on expanding the knowledge we share with you!

You can continue to look forward to more BTS art peeks, GIFs, animations, character sketches and more- but soon, you will have whole new rounds of votes to look forward to! "

Is their comment about it so I'd assume there's more to come ^^

BTS is "Behind The Scenes" and not a kpop band

[fair dragon]

Ahhhhh okay that makes sense lol I always get confused when I see that

[heavy dew]

We're also getting a Q&A this week, I'll fetch the quote

[fair dragon]

That sounds really fun

[heavy dew]

This quote from last week: #💬│palia-discussions message
Do note that it's "a bit" of gameplay that was later elaborated on as 🤏 so don't expect too big of a reveal

[abstract rover]

mabinogi was that chill game back in the day

[remote latch]

or maybe its multiple little bits of gameplay to answer some questions ... yes ok wishful thinking I know 🙂

[warm plover]

the only mmo i ever played a decent amount of (but didnt get very far cause i was a kid) was uhh
either flyff or tales of pirates

[surreal crest]

🤏 gameplay

[fair dragon]

T-T I cannot wait till the q n a then

[heavy dew]

We shall wait together! in united chaos we stand!

[fair dragon]

[abstract rover]

aaaaaaa hello friemds it is i your fearless leader csr here to remind everyone that you are loved and appreciated. thank you for your time :)

[fair dragon]

Hallo👋🏼

[worthy rose]

helo friends it's nish reminding you to drink soy sauce until you black out

[fair dragon]

[heavy dew]

Weird typo you did for "water" and "healthy"

[fair dragon]

Lolll

[remote latch]

well she is in upside down territory

[faint dawn]

Nah drink chocky milk.

[worthy rose]

Hi Otter

hi

[heavy dew]

You doing alright?

[ocean stone]

[wind ibex]

[heavy dew]

Hi frens ^^

Fragile too!

[merry crater]

Hello~

[heavy dew]

How is everyone doing on this lovely day?

[remote latch]

For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : University Edition, you are attending the Introductory Course of Palia. Your class project for this course is to take a look through the channels and read the community compiled faq documents pinned to this channel. The one compiled by Vlad contains most if not all of the dev's research notes provided in the first week or two of this server opening and currently resides in the archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel. The one compiled by Rin is an overview and contains more up to date information gathered from the information available in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha , #❔│game-faqs and #🌠│official-art channels. Reading those documents will bring you up to what we know about Palia : The Game so far, along with the recently written blog on the Palia site accessed via the #📢│palia-news channel or the bottom of the Palia site itself. For extra credit, maybe you can think up some additions to the game and post them in #game-suggestions channel. And if you haven't completed your Palia Work Project yet, make sure you sign up for an invite on the site and fill in the surveys. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy waiting with us .

[ocean stone]

I woke up at 5 am, wide awake, no determinable reason. Now I feel exhausted. Gonna be a long day for me

[tranquil cosmos]

Someone woke me up at 5:30am

[ocean stone]

Truth more caffeine is gonna be a necessity

[heavy dew]

Be honest, it was Cinna wasn’t it

[ocean stone]

I almost asked if it was me lol

[tranquil cosmos]

I wish

[heavy dew]

I got you covered

[wind ibex]

On friday, I didn't fall asleep until close to 4am, then woke up for work a couple hours later. So I know how you are feeling Cinna.

[abstract rover]

haha work... it sucks ass

[wind ibex]

I have to support my Hermit habits some how...

[abstract rover]

anyway, please provide archaeological time period for when Palia release

[heavy dew]

[ocean stone]

bc-sr

[uneven pebble]

When will then be now?

[heavy dew]

Future

[abstract rover]

that is not an archaeological time period

[remote latch]

Paliapathic Period

[heavy dew]

You’ve offended me, now you must say I’m right or I’ll cancel you

[summer obsidian]

The Berry has been offended...don't make him squishy you into blueberry pancakes!

[abstract rover]

when met with an angry leftist trying to cancel you, reply not with an apology but with righteous indignation

pls no hurt me bewwy cries

[heavy dew]

Mmmmm pancakes

[abstract rover]

also /s

[heavy dew]

Also /j
I’m Swedish, we can’t get offended

[abstract rover]

meatball ikea

[heavy dew]

Accurate

[wind ibex]

I can get offended, but I have a spine and actually deal with it, not cry and call for canceling.

[worthy rose]

🎷💨🇸🇪

wait that looks like he's farting on the flag. That was not my intention

[summer obsidian]

I really wish I had tried to keep a tally on how many times nish has switched his name...

[worthy rose]

+1

[ocean stone]

What WAS your intention

[abstract rover]

i know how to offend people easily :D

[wind ibex]

I honestly thought it was farting everytime you made that emote chain...

[worthy rose]

saxophone chuulupa dash sweden

[heavy dew]

Self explanatory really

[wind ibex]

I thought the first 3 had always been a Jazzy chuulupa with gas.

[abstract rover]

sweden in emojis:
😫 😫 🔥 🤡

[heavy dew]

The only thing not accurate is fire, too cold

[abstract rover]

so cold it burns

[heavy dew]

Fair point

[abstract rover]

so it works

[wind ibex]

🥶

[abstract rover]

oh crap i think i just accidentally discovered my one and only allergy

[heavy dew]

Dart arrows?

[wind ibex]

Logic?

[abstract rover]

no i think its either latex or this chemical i work with every day

[ocean stone]

So this "dash" you speak of is not gas from chalupa consumption causing a propelled forward motion right lol

[abstract rover]

both of which is bad because my job revolves around latex gloves

[worthy rose]

no it's just the chuulupa playing the saxophone fast

[ocean stone]

Oh. Duh

[wind ibex]

Fast as it runs to the bathroom crop dusting farts?

[abstract rover]

this wasnt /s sadly, i think i am legit allergic to something at my job T-T

[worthy rose]

no

[heavy dew]

So you’re dart proof then?

[wind ibex]

I had a bad reaction to the fiberglass resin they used in the shop at my work. Whenever I would help out with sanding the stuff, I would get rashes on any exposed skin.

[ocean stone]

I had an ex that worked in a warehouse with a lot of cardboard. Turns out...allergic to cardboard exposure.

[merry crater]

Take care of yourself. Hopefully is nothing serious. My hands are super sensitive to certain cleaners I think. They get all swollen and itchy. Never pinned down what causes it though.

[wind ibex]

Now I work remotely several states away, no more exposure

[heavy dew]

That’s staying very safe

[summer summit]

Am I the only one to find the lastest character displayed looks a bit cadaverical? Like ghoulish / vampirish like ?

[heavy dew]

Have you seen Jel?

[merry crater]

Was that Reth.
For anyone who saw the pre-edit: was an auto correct not an accidental leak.

[wind ibex]

Not sure how you get ghoulish /vampirish from a bowl of ramen...

[spare rivet]

hello

[ocean stone]

Lol when this said Aretha I was like who xD

[summer summit]

Yes jel, the potion lady

[heavy dew]

Jel is the tailor, also looks a bit vampiresk

[wind ibex]

I blame twilight that people think that elvish traits mean you are a vampire...

[heavy dew]

My mind immediately went to sex changed Reth and I almost felt bad for a split second

[merry crater]

hit my data limit for the month so now I can’t look at all the beautiful art and characters while I’m at work.

[nova raven]

[heavy dew]

You should ask for the WiFi

👀

[merry crater]

We’re not allowed even though there’s a guest network.

[heavy dew]

But you work there..

[merry crater]

Yup.

[heavy dew]

The world confuses me

[wind ibex]

Some companies only allow their internet to be used for company purposes.

[abstract rover]

it's nothing bad. just a tiny spot on my arm. which is weird because i get this stuff on my hands all the time :/

[heavy dew]

So I’m running for world leader, no countries, only my will, vote for me and there’s WiFi at work @merry crater

What more could you ask for really

[wind ibex]

Some cities do have a public wifi.

[merry crater]

Maybe it was something you don’t normally handle. Or somethings formula changed. Just something to keep an eye on. Hopefully it goes okay.

[abstract rover]

that definitely doesnt sound like a dictatorship waiting to happen.

damn globalists smh

[remote latch]

I thought it was his gothic traits that made him look vampirish 🙂

[heavy dew]

I literally just said it will be a dictatorship

All me and only me in charge

[abstract rover]

shush i didnt see, am dum

[wind ibex]

Shape and color of the spot, sensitivity, texture compared to the surrounding area?

[faint dawn]

Wifi password: kittykittycatkittykittycatcat1

[heavy dew]

Or the most used password in the world: 123456

[abstract rover]

just kind of a bump. was itchy for a moment but not anymore. also no discoloration

[remote latch]

darn it .. I am so gonna have to change my computer access code rofl

[wind ibex]

Could be a bug bite.

The second most used password is password...

[abstract rover]

its definitely not a bug bite

[heavy dew]

I just gave away a couple million people, don’t give me state secrets

Actually, do, more fun that way

[abstract rover]

hey thats the password the CIA uses for all their top secret documents

[faint dawn]

Or the hardest password.
"My name is Oh and lord smeck is the greatest and anyone who thinks otherwise is a poomp1"

[heavy dew]

That’s not strong enough anymore, you need at least 1 alien crop circle in there somewhere

[abstract rover]

you need also at least 1 reference to lost media mixed in with a little bit of phrases that are banned in china

[wind ibex]

I use the name of a character in a story I came up with, but never wrote down, so there is literally nowhere on earth that this word exists other than in my head or as my password.

[abstract rover]

false. library of babel. look it up. it contains every letter combination that has and will exist :)

[heavy dew]

I use memorized auto generated segments about 40 characters long /j they’re only 20

[wind ibex]

It and about 50,000 other words that were randomly selected were edited out of that library.

[abstract rover]

how dare they

probably china smh

[heavy dew]

[wind ibex]

I think it was someone from the Cancel Culture. Canceling words for no apparent reason.

[abstract rover]

ahh yeah this would make sense

[heavy dew]

Imma join cancel culture right now and cancel this and go back to Palia 👀

[abstract rover]

angry ben shapiro noises

[marble hedge]

Passwords... I have an 8 character password that I attach to an identifier for each website... so, for example (and this isn't it), my email password would be PASS1234emal. Then i would have PASS1234bank, or PASS1234discord, or PASS1234reddit. So I can remember all my passwords, and they're all different.

[worthy rose]

that's

[heavy dew]

Yeah that’s great and all wippit but I wouldn’t do that xD

[meager palm]

Hey guys, can you sign up for the alpha test yet? Every time I click the button on the website nothing happens 😭

[worthy rose]

not a good idea lmao

[marble hedge]

Why?

[heavy dew]

WIPPIT!!!!!

[worthy rose]

using the name of the service that you're signing in to is incredibly unsecure

[abstract rover]

i have the most securiest password. cuz it turns into stars whenever you type it! so nobody will ever find out!

[heavy dew]

Did you sign up for pre-alpha? And the survey won’t open you mean?

[marble hedge]

It was an example, nish. I'm not going to say what I really use 🙂

[heavy dew]

Fucking hell Wippit can you use the /j tag please giving me a heart attack

[meager palm]

So im on the website and trying to click the button that says sign up to test but nothing happens 😦 maybe im too late or?

[heavy dew]

Did you enter an email?

[marble hedge]

Are you on palia.com

[meager palm]

theres no option to 😮

[remote latch]

mobile or PC ?

[marble hedge]

palia.com has a field for an email and a submit button. That's it, other than Einar fishing under a big tree.

[meager palm]

Maybe its not working on google, ill try using firefox

[heavy dew]

Mobile and pc are the same, go to Palia.com and type in your email in the field and hit submit

[marble hedge]

I use chrome, it works

[abstract rover]

.con

.comband

[remote latch]

Yes, just checked, the input box on the site is the first thing you see regardless of PC or mobile usage

[merry crater]

Once you hit submit though there will be a new button to access a survey that you’ll also want to fill out.

[heavy dew]

I’m yeeting this phone, bye

[marble hedge]

... Einar never catches anything, it's sad...

[meager palm]

Okay went on firefox and now it pops up. Weird 😮

[abstract rover]

i threw my phone in the water, little push off the dock~

[heavy dew]

Must be some extension, I use chrome too and it worked

Glad it’s there now though!

[meager palm]

Yeah probably. Thanks guys ❤️

[heavy dew]

Any thing any time

[meager palm]

Cant wait for this game, its literally this and Paralives thats making me so excited 😄

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-frog-panic-frantic-yay-gif-16814992

[heavy dew]

That’s a good gif

[jagged pendant]

What's paralives

[remote latch]

Its a wannabee Sims Killer .. 🙂

[faint dawn]

We should take that gif and make a chapaa version of it..

Like how nomi used elmo fire to nake

[meager palm]

its a new life simulation game @jagged pendant

[remote latch]

If you want to talk about it though, best to take it to #🎮│other-games 🙂

[heavy dew]

Duck is waaaatching, be very very still 👀

[remote latch]

he's hunting palia chat diverters .. uh uh uh uh

[heavy dew]

If anyone can quack the case it’s Ducky

[remote latch]

Officer Quackie McQuackers

[wind ibex]

Pond Patrol is always watching.

They are our friends and our guardians, protecting us from Nitro scammers.

[heavy dew]

I’m writing this down, not because I’m good at animation because I’m terrible at it but so it’s not forgotten xD

[merry crater]

I can’t wait for this weeks Q&A~

[heavy dew]

Omg I know!

[faint dawn]

Nothing wrong with taking pre existing work and making your own inspired version... its recycling.. x3

Animators do it all the time

[remote latch]

I want it to be today .. but then it will be longer .. oh never mind, it will still be a week before the next Q & A rofl

[heavy dew]

I mean nothing is truly original 👀

[wind ibex]

I believe the phrase you are looking for is "There is nothing new under the sun."

[abstract rover]

me have borgar

[abstract rover]

nihil novo sub sole?

[wind ibex]

What language is that?

[remote latch]

sounds latin like

[heavy dew]

Not English!!!!! ONLY ENGLISH FOR NOW CSR PLEASE!!

[abstract rover]

latin i think. i dont remember the real phrase

its something like that tho

[remote latch]

yeah very close ( Nihil sub sole novum ) based on translate.com

[wind ibex]

The phrase originated in Hebrew if I remember correctly.

[heavy dew]

So what you’re saying is, it’s not English, imma have to repeat the rules

Can’t believe you regulars /j

[abstract rover]

fun police berry

smh my head

[spring rivet]

I can't quack the phrase

[heavy dew]

There’s no such thing as fun! only order!

Order is fun, neat, precise, organized order.. mmmm the best kind of fun 👀

[abstract rover]

what does he brew, though? beer? potions?

[remote latch]

Verzeihung (sorry) ... English is a Germanic language with borrowings from Latin thanks to the Roman visit before they left 😛

[faint dawn]

F is for fire!

[wind ibex]

Comfort and chill.

[heavy dew]

Listen here don’t get technical with me or I’ll start speaking in non words and say it’s originated

[faint dawn]

His-tae is not nglish-Ehh

[abstract rover]

makarpy!

[heavy dew]

Ooga booga

[remote latch]

Would you Adam and Eve it ! 🙂

[heavy dew]

Adam and Steve (the mod)

[abstract rover]

chadam and weebve

[heavy dew]

Now we just need to know if there’s an Adam in S6’s circle

[remote latch]

I think so 🙂

[heavy dew]

Or maybe it’s Madam and Steve

[wind ibex]

🤦‍♂️

[abstract rover]

adam and adam and adam and adam and-

[heavy dew]

Bread

[remote latch]

ah maybe not .. think I got confused with Aidan

[abstract rover]

just like how cinna is actually cima

[remote latch]

From https://www.singularity6.com/blog/2021/3/30/hackathon-singularity-6s-yearly-tradition Our narrative designer carefully examined all the creations to ensure they fit into the game’s existing lore and met our quality standards for player content. By the end of Hackathon, the group had managed to create over 30 in-world books for our players.

[faint dawn]

Books /)o3o(\

[abstract rover]

i hate books
theyre too wordy

[heavy dew]

What are these “books”? Is there moving pictures?

[remote latch]

Our goal was to create in-game books for our first game. What exactly we wanted to write about was up to each one of us to determine. We had free reign to write how-to books, poems, stories, etc.

[abstract rover]

i think it's a food

[heavy dew]

I think it’s an animal, bookworm

[remote latch]

nope ... tree > wood > pulp > paper > book 🙂

[heavy dew]

But you could just write it on a computer though

[remote latch]

sacrilege !

[wind ibex]

Does that mean there are actual readable books in Palia?!?! If so, WOOT!

[remote latch]

sounds like it

[abstract rover]

too complicated. just type it on a screen

[heavy dew]

As long as the books are not fiction ill read them, informative factual books are okay

[remote latch]

sigh youngsters these days 🙂

[wind ibex]

Fiction, non fiction. If there are both insights into Palia lore, I would ready them.

[heavy dew]

Not my fault, I haven’t gotten a single actual piece of paper during my years in school now

[nova raven]

I'm all for lore books!

[abstract rover]

books are so last century

information is much more easily conveyed through digital mediums

[heavy dew]

Xrystal gonna be upset when she finds out I’ve never read a single book, novel or story from start to finish

[wind ibex]

👀

🤦‍♂️

[cedar egret]

is palia gonna be more like animal crossing or will it be more like ark? (you start off primitive but progress to towns etc)

[abstract rover]

i've read stories from start to finish. but not physical copies because there is literally no point at all

[heavy dew]

My guess more like stardew valley and animal crossing

[hollow tendon]

if you can get through all the Harry Potter books you're a true reader

[heavy dew]

It’s an mmo after all so the town is already set

[heavy dew]

I watched the movies, said berry calmly

[cedar egret]

it is very vague though as of now

[wind ibex]

If you can get through all of the Legends of Drizzt, you are a reader after my own heart.

[heavy dew]

Yeah it’s really far until release that’s why

Things are bound to change, safer to not disclose all they have now as it may be completely different later

There’s a really extensive faq document you can read through, we know a whole lot

[wind ibex]

Pinned at the top

[remote latch]

at least twice 🙂 Watched the movies more though .. slightly different from the books though which is cool

but definitely looking forward to collecting books for my library in Palia 🙂

[wind ibex]

I will say this, I liked the Percy Jackson books better than the Harry Potter books, but Harry potter was better in movie form. I couldn't sit through 15 minutes of the Percy Jackson movie.

[heavy dew]

Let’s just say I chose to get an F in English instead of an A because I refused to read the book they asked me to read

[fathom patrol]

I'm not bragging, but it took me 3 years to read a 200 page book.

[nova raven]

Edgy

[remote latch]

mum made the mistake of giving me a book when I was a toddler .. I was hooked

[wind ibex]

I got an F in my senior year of English due to the final being 70% of our grade, and 60% of the final was identifying what story we read earlier in the year by abstract art that was never shown in class and not in any of our books.

[remote latch]

uhoh .. its the quackers

[fathom patrol]

After that I realised Novellets are the best form of story telling.

[heavy dew]

So how about Palia

[remote latch]

I did mention Palia in my response earlier 🙂 and this all started from a mention of books in Palia .. 🥺

[heavy dew]

It sure will be exciting for you Xrystal ^^

[nova raven]

I hope they have a lot of interesting things you can carry around. Even if they dont have a particular use. Like dolls, umbrellas, your tools.

[abstract rover]

just change palia chat to just a general chat ffs. it makes so much more sense than "palia only"

[wind ibex]

Sitting in my house in Palia, while reading a book irl. Just sounds so nice.

[remote latch]

yeah I can imagine doing that too .. although doing my family tree stuff 🙂

[heavy dew]

What makes sense is having a “general” over it

#💬│off-topic-chat is basically general but it’s so far down it doesn’t exist xD

[ocean reef]

You had books from 6 months old Xrystal, started with cloth ones progressing quickly to Ladybird books , think they were called.

[merry crater]

A Palia oriented chat is reasonable. I think little tangents here are fine as long as we keep helping new people when they come in to ask about the game.
And that we go from our off topic vibes to talking about Palia when news is dropped and such since more will pop in to chat about the news.

[heavy dew]

How reasonable of you

[abstract rover]

yeah seriously. why is there no general chat? why force people into a bunch of random channels so far down the list that nobody notices

[heavy dew]

There is: #💬│off-topic-chat

But it should be on top xD

[abstract rover]

ok but off-topic could mean literally anything.

[heavy dew]

In general it does yeah

[abstract rover]

it could mean art, food, games, etc

[wind ibex]

Sounds like a good description of what we talk about...

[heavy dew]

Just off topic in general

[remote latch]

general chat about palia > #💬│palia-discussions art > #🎨│artistry , food > #🍜│food-and-noms , games > #🎮│other-games topics not covered by a specific channel > #💬│off-topic-chat

[heavy dew]

I agree with Fragile though, it’s always off topic until we get a reason to talk Palia, and to me that’s fine cause we still help new people or keep it to palia when news launch ^^

[merry crater]

I think if that wasn’t okay Mods would be way more on top of us about the random chatter.

[remote latch]

or if we do slide off it does start from a Palia conversation, veers off, and then, if we're lucky/clever we divert it back to a palia conversation 🙂

[merry crater]

I’ve noticed they get more mod-y when topics start to get fiery.

[heavy dew]

We’re experts at this at this point

[abstract rover]

i'm fiery

[remote latch]

or go on for too long 🙂

[heavy dew]

Soon as emotions start being included in conversation I’m out, irl and here

[abstract rover]

yeah emotions are dumb

[remote latch]

And on that note .. I'm out for a while to get some stuff at the shops .. back in a while

[wind ibex]

I hope I can play with all of you when Palia launches. With Rin in West Australia, Berry in Sweden, and Cinna just a ways north of me, the people I want to play with are all over the place.

[abstract rover]

have fun

[heavy dew]

Emotions are fine, I just don’t care about them

Fingers crossed Odd ^^

[abstract rover]

yeah facts dont care about your feelings /s

[heavy dew]

I mean they don’t xD

[wind ibex]

Emotions are a good navigator, but don't let them drive.

[heavy dew]

If I say something that’s true, it’s not my problem if you like it or not, you know?

[abstract rover]

truuuuuuth

i wish people saw it that way lol.

[heavy dew]

Get to know more sociopaths xD

[wind ibex]

And just because you don't like a fact, doesn't mean it isn't true.

[abstract rover]

case and point with that starbucks joke a while back that i got yelled at for

[heavy dew]

You’re not over that are you xD

[abstract rover]

nope never will be

[wind ibex]

Like I hate the fact I have diabetes, but it doesn't change the fact that I do have diabetes.

[pure badge]

was it a good joke?

[heavy dew]

Things suck, best to accept it so you can adjust rather than close your eyes and hit a light pole, weird anecdote

[faint dawn]

My poor puppy, shes getting old.. :(
Shes owie or scared all the time.. i tried making her a comfy small space to hide in.. ;-;

[heavy dew]

I found it amusing, sensible chuckle. But I recognize it’s up to personal opinion

[frigid mortar]

aww is it the dog in your profile picture?

[faint dawn]

Yeah

[frigid mortar]

she looks so precious ❤️

[wind ibex]

I honestly don't know of an american version of that. But I do like it.

[faint dawn]

She is, shes just going on 9 now..

[pure badge]

can I haz joke in pm? 👀

[abstract rover]

my cat is 16yrs old and still crazy lmao

[heavy dew]

You can, dear. One second

[pure badge]

Thank you, Berry!

[wind ibex]

A phrase I used to say a lot when I was younger was "Life sucks, and then you die. It either gets better or worse from there." People always assumed I was being depressing, but I was meaning it like this life is hard, but this isn't all there is. There is heaven and hell, live accordingly.

[pure badge]

That is a nice joke imho

[heavy dew]

^ @abstract rover you feel validated now?

[deft sonnet]

Mmmmm good soup.

[frigid mortar]

berries and cream?

[abstract rover]

yes

[wind ibex]

#🌠│official-art message

[heavy dew]

What now? 👀 No eating of the me please

[wind ibex]

Don't worry, I avoid nightshade berries like you.

I don't care for tomatoes.

[deft sonnet]

Good soup.

[heavy dew]

I say something similar, not quite the same ring and people also felt it was depressing but their feelings were wrong because it is true

[pure badge]

Good soup.

[heavy dew]

That is some high def soup

[wind ibex]

I should go get some Pho this weekend.

[heavy dew]

I like that pho is just pho and it is pho because it's pho, what's pho you ask? it's pho

And yes, yes you should

[wind ibex]

Is it bad that I followed that?

[heavy dew]

No I think it proves my point even more xD

[wind ibex]

And now I picture the "Math is Math" meme but with Pho.

[heavy dew]

puts finger down angrily in Pho

[fair dragon]

😂😂

[wind ibex]

I would say on the menu, not the scalding how fluid...

[fair dragon]

So how is everyone's day going

[heavy dew]

I am Wooooonderful! thank you for asking finished my errands and meetings for the day and I am now just relaxing! How about you?

[pure badge]

It's nice :3

[fair dragon]

My day is going pretty okay I'm waiting for the bell to ring for lunch so I can finally eat (T-T) but it's going well nonetheless

That's good

Im glad you are having a good day

[hollow tendon]

I'm still finishing up my errands

[fair dragon]

Ahhhh I understand ya

[tawdry vigil]

sooooo bored and cant wait for this game to be officially open

[wind ibex]

Good news! It will be out in less than 3 years!

[wooden anvil]

so if you're bored now and there are plenty of things to play, what makes you think you won't be bored when palia comes out? spending time waiting for something to release to relieve your boredom doesn't seem like the best use of your time

[heavy dew]

That is good news! Even better news that we can make friends here in the meantime 👀

Hey I’m constantly bored and I do things non stop, ain’t nothing stopping the boredom train

[hollow tendon]

I was hoping the full version of the game would be out at the end of next year

[wind ibex]

Lately I'm only bored when I'm having to work. When I'm not working I have too many options on what to do. It isn't that I am bored it is that I can't decide what to do. Should I play VR, non VR on PC while watching TV, Play on my Switch, Ride my bike, Read one of the 30 books I have on my waiting to read list, do some 3d modeling to print things, work on a D&D campaign, the list goes on and on.

[wind ibex]

Last update we got on a time frame was "Much less than 3 years out" and that was this summer.

[heavy dew]

Brace for longer, hope for less

[hollow tendon]

yeah, I have to make that decision to either play on my PC are my consoles are watch Tv.

[wooden anvil]

are there any projects you could start or work on around your house?

[heavy dew]

It’s pc only on launch so it’s wait longer or pc

[hollow tendon]

most of them I have done already

[heavy dew]

You could pick up ceramics

Or power wash simulator

[hollow tendon]

I go for a lot of walks for exercise and get out for fresh air

[wind ibex]

Or baking, lots of people have picked up backing in that past couple years.

[carmine relic]

Pick up Kerbal

[heavy dew]

Cooking and baking are good skills to have, cooking foremost I’d say xD

[knotty silo]

Ya bake some pies

Unlike what happened in Alpha

[heavy dew]

It’s consumed you so much you don’t have time for me anymore!

[carmine relic]

I do have time! Everyone knows I got all the time in the world for everything.

[heavy dew]

Zief from the future, they know when alpha is!

[hollow tendon]

I'm watching season 11 episode 6 of The Walking Dead right now. I thought I was watching The Hills Have Eyes

[wooden anvil]

there's always diablo 2 :)

[merry crater]

Oooh is Gambit finally back in our solar system or are they circling an unknown sun? 👀

[heavy dew]

He’s slowly coming home

[wind ibex]

One reason I haven't played Elite in a while is that I don't remember where I was, or what I was doing. I can't even remember if I am in an inhabited system.

[heavy dew]

I shall depart for now, time to cook!

Love you all, kisses and hugs

[wind ibex]

Note getting Hyperdicted by thargoids the first time in VR, it feels like suddenly you are in a horror game.

[bright forge]

Hi guys!

[remote latch]

ok back from the shops

[carmine relic]

Aye, good morning Perin!

[remote latch]

For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : The Support Group, you are attending the 3rd month of what is Palia. While you wait for your Palia fix take a look through the channels and take the mini fix that is the community compiled faq documents pinned to this channel. The one compiled by Vlad contains most if not all of the dev's 'free dose' of information in the first week or two of this server opening and currently resides in the archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel. The one compiled by Rin is an overview and contains more up to date information gathered from the information available in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha , #❔│game-faqs and #🌠│official-art channels. Reading those documents will bring you up to what we know about Palia : The Game so far, along with the recently added blog on the Palia site accessed via the #📢│palia-news channel or the bottom of the Palia site itself. To help you manage your addiction you could come up with some ideas on what would be good activities in Palia and submit the to the #game-suggestions channel. And if you haven't managed to get your Palia fix yet, make sure you sign up for an invite on the site and fill in the surveys. But, by the time the game is released you may already be addicted. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy waiting with us .

[bright forge]

I was shopping today for like 2,5 hour

[remote latch]

ouch .. thankfully mine was just a top up shop before the next delivery order

[bright forge]

Mine was IKEA ones...

[heavy dew]

I can confirm as a certified ikea, I saw the meatballs

[bright forge]

Did I missed something today? I was quite busy so I was offline for like 12h.

[carmine relic]

Nope

At least, not server/game wise.

[bright forge]

ok, thanks

[heavy dew]

But you know you missed us

[wind ibex]

We spoke of books, boredom or lack there of, longing for Palia, and me randomly mentioning Thargoids.

[sullen bison]

You were lucky to get out in under 3hrs!

[carmine relic]

I can clear IKEA in 1 hour... never been to an IKEA but trust me, I know this

[bright forge]

My sister works there and was a guide for me

[sullen bison]

Perin: ahhhh! Nice :)

Gambit: you'll think it's 1hr, but you'll go in on Tuesday and come out next Monday

[deep frigate]

i love ikea.

imagine an ikea full of palia furniture

[carmine relic]

That just sounds like my average day

[wind ibex]

Is that a new pfp Aurelia?

[abstract rover]

[sullen bison]

Yeah :) I've grown antlers for autumn

[carmine relic]

Someone is probably gonna make a gigantic square house (if possible) and fill it with furniture and probably even roleplay an IKEA employee.

[wind ibex]

I noticed the background and sweater first.

[sullen bison]

Ahh hehe yeah no more all pink

[deep frigate]

someone did an ikea animal crossing island, it was awesome.

[carmine relic]

I think I actually remember seeing it

[sullen bison]

I love Ikea. Since moving we don't have one :( so if there's one to visit in Palia I will definitely go

[carmine relic]

I kinda wanna visit an IKEA but I don't wanna exhaust myself

[sullen bison]

The restaurant will you give +50 stamina with meatballs and cake

[heavy dew]

Ikea is neverland, you go in and you never truly leave

[bright forge]

I think you will go to Tish for something like that.

[wind ibex]

Where did you move to that there is no IKEA?

[carmine relic]

Traded being able to have food buffs for being resistant/immune to distracting sales

[heavy dew]

Yeah please let the Swede know so I can let the authorities know

[sullen bison]

Oohhh yeah good point! :D Tishkea

[heavy dew]

S6 better copyright that real quick or we will

[carmine relic]

Someone should draw it for laughs, too

[wind ibex]

I was thinking "Tishea"

[sullen bison]

Louisiana :/ it's humid and no ikea. (Husband is military so we go where they send him)

[wind ibex]

Looks like the closest Ikea to you is in Houston, TX.

Closest one for me is Atlanta,GA

[carmine relic]

I got one three or so hours away, I think.

[remote latch]

Tishea, where making furniture is an art

[sullen bison]

Yeah, too far :( though if it wasn't... You know... This happening waves arm around I might consider a weekend trip for Ikea shopping hehe

[carmine relic]

Wait, how big even is an IKEA?

[deep frigate]

Ikeas are very large

[sullen bison]

B I G

[wind ibex]

If you are in the far north end of Louisiana the Dallas store might be closer.

[weary karma]

You can get lost in one for weeks.

[deep frigate]

I used to live less than a mile from one, and went often for only 1 or 2 items. it was fun. 🙂

[carmine relic]

Ok I looked. They aren't too big

[marble hedge]

Nonsense. You'd die of thirst long before that

[sullen bison]

Same! We were in Vegas before here and it was so fun to go for a "quick" trip for a couple of things

[wind ibex]

I've been using the same desk for 12 years, I got it at an Ikea in California.

[sullen bison]

(We should probably move to #💬│off-topic-chat )

[bright forge]

That is where meat for meatballs come form. People lost in this furniture labyrinth

[carmine relic]

So how about that Palia
