Funny enough, if people ask me if I had an entrance song what would it be, Whip It is not the song.

[wind ibex]

You didn't ask what yourself would call it, you asked what I would call it.

[heavy dew]

Whaaaaaat?!

[heavy dew]

Next level, this holds up in court

[abstract rover]

what do you call a rat that is actually a mouse but isn'tn't?

[marble hedge]

[abstract rover]

nothing, rat cant speak

[heavy dew]

That's what you think

I talk to them regularly

[wind ibex]

Sure they can, you just don't understand them.

[abstract rover]

i am literally a rat i cannot speak

[pure badge]

for example - right now

[remote latch]

if squirrels and cats can talk .. then rats and mice must be able to as well 🙂

[wind ibex]

Just because you are mute, doesn't mean all your kind are.

[abstract rover]

what does a rat say when you give him a cheese ?

[heavy dew]

Did you see the article about the test rat they were observing behavior related to food and it was faking behavior when observed to throw off the data xD clever little bastard

[pure badge]

nothing, rat cant speak (c) rat, probably

[abstract rover]

genius again

[pure badge]

I'm on a roll!

when do I get a rat though?

[wind ibex]

If I could post vidoes, I would post a clip from chip and dale rescue rangers from when I was a kid.

[remote latch]

I was looking after a starling and a robin who had fallen out of their nest .. once the starling was fine to feed itself I concentrated on the robin .. I told the starling it is perfectly fine to feed itself so no begging for food .. next day it faked a bad wing so I would feed it

[abstract rover]

what do u call a rat that is not a rat

[heavy dew]

They're rather clever those adorable animals

[wind ibex]

Caesar.

[pure badge]

[abstract rover]

schrödinger's rat

🤣

HA i got u all

[heavy dew]

If I could timetravel I would wanna attend Schrödingers funeral, sit there like.. hmmmm

[pure badge]

They are adorable :3

[remote latch]

Yeah, I was upset when the robin eventually died but then I found that only 1 in 5 survive ( or is it 1 in 5 die - it was 30+ years ago ) .. made me feel less upset about it

[pure badge]

ahahaha

[wind ibex]

CSR... Called Schrodinger's Rat.

CSR Caesar.

[heavy dew]

[abstract rover]

[wind ibex]

With that much ratting, they aren't clean...

[abstract rover]

[wind ibex]

I said as much.

[pure badge]

What did a rat cook to impress a restaurant critic?

[wind ibex]

Food

[heavy dew]

If it isn't ratatouille Imma be mad

[pure badge]

rats can't cook

[heavy dew]

IVE SEEN THE MOVIE FAIR, DONT LIE

[frank briar]

how dare you

[pure badge]

sorry xDD

[heavy dew]

Yes they can!

[celest maple]

number three is dumplings for sure

[pure badge]

ahahahaah

[frank briar]

number 3 has leaves

as plate

[heavy dew]

Number 3 is 100% a fish dish

[pure badge]

yeah okay it was rattatouile

[frank briar]

surely its for the villagers

[heavy dew]

Yay!

[pure badge]

I support that opinion because it reminds me of the Sims 2 Castaways, where they cooked fish in leaves

[frank briar]

i think its a bread thing

[pure badge]

that's my second guess!
but I'll stick to the fish option

[pure badge]

bread on a leaf?

[celest maple]

Maybe its a fish dumpling? Ehh ehh

[pure badge]

Sounds festive!

[pure badge]

Ooooh maybe

[frank briar]

i think village people would do that, especially wit h the given theme hmmmm

setting*

[heavy dew]

To be fair there's some current food trends that do that irl, replace buns with lettuce etc

[frank briar]

inb4 its rat dish

[wispy meadow]

Can confirm that I've seen weirder food served on banana leaves. Such as curry, rice and fish dishes and yes, bread as well

Though technically it was naan bread

[frank briar]

we Filipinos often eat on banana leaf

whenever there is like a huge celebration

[wispy meadow]

Fellow asian gang :)

[pure badge]

I wanted to try burger with tomatoes for buns but I always forget to buy the meats

[frank briar]

yo, parents rnt proud of u 2?

[wispy meadow]

I've only seen it used when there's too many people at an event and not enough plates, so they just used banana leaves instead

[wispy meadow]

Kinda?
I'm the golden child so more proud of me mostly
But also pressuring to do more 😅

[frank briar]

yep i can confirm u to be asian

[wispy meadow]

XD

[pure badge]

Well rice and fish seem normal to me
I guess it's weird for me cause I live in a place where bananas don't grow therefore there are no banana leaves

[frank briar]

or it might not be banan leaf

[wispy meadow]

Well not many plants have leaves as large as a banana leaf

[frank briar]

it sorta looks like onions on a leaf

[wispy meadow]

I still think it's dumplings

[heavy dew]

It's a pinecone, for sure

nice roasted crunchy pinecone

[frank briar]

i support rat dish

[wispy meadow]

Or like, baobao? Is that what it's called?

[pure badge]

hmmm
I think sometimes people serve soup in bread?

[heavy dew]

Can confirm

[pure badge]

that's the wildest thing I can think of xDD

[frank briar]

how???????????????

[pure badge]

you cut a hole in bread

[heavy dew]

It's a bread bowl! Google it! ^^

[wispy meadow]

Ah yes bread bowls
I saw the vid with the crying bakers watching their fresh bread get massacred

[pure badge]

put soup into the hole

[frank briar]

so its

a soggy bread

[pure badge]

yes

[wispy meadow]

Basically ye

[pure badge]

I never tried it

[frank briar]

well filipinos deep bread in coffee

so yea

[wispy meadow]

I don't even want to try it.
Bread should be soft but dry
Soup would probably go through the bottom of the soggy bread wouldn't it?

[heavy dew]

Just eat fast enough

[wispy meadow]

Hm....
Have you tried puffed rice in tea?

[frank briar]

i agree 100%

i dont believe i can even chew a soggy bread without puking

[pure badge]

More often I see people in my country serve salads in a wash bowl
Especially when it's time to celebrate New Year and plates are just not big enough for all the salads that some people make

[heavy dew]

You know what I would wanna try, pho

I've only heard good things

[wispy meadow]

I miss the mini samosas

[long ore]

Pho is good

[pure badge]

Had to google it, looks nice :3

[wispy meadow]

All this food talk making me hungry

[pure badge]

Same

[heavy dew]

And so, the entire discord went to eat

[brittle lance]

I'm hungry!

[wispy meadow]

That pacman pfp really is the icing on the hunger cake

[pure badge]

Ahaha, I'm having leftover spaghetti and chicken x3

I hope Palia will have all kinds of fast-food foods but like a healthier kind! Tomato burger! xDD

[frank briar]

The loorkin' in the walls

[pure badge]

There were so many S6 peoples online yesterday. Did something happen? Do they have a voice channel in here? :OO

[heavy dew]

They don't (other than the pre-alpha channels I guess if those are still active), they use a different medium to communicate internally ^^

And maybe, Monday's be like

[worthy rose]

yeah first monday back after a holiday

everyone was probably in office

[cloud horizon]

Hey hey :)

[heavy dew]

Henlo!

[cloud horizon]

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

And, yes, we do lurk! ;)

[wind ibex]

[heavy dew]

Oh we know, we can see you through the chat box 👀

[remote latch]

they have discord active days and quiet days but its only 8amish over there so maybe they just haven't logged into discord yet at work

[cloud horizon]

Don't tell my work!

[wind ibex]

Xrystal is a fount of information, I am killer of conversations.

[remote latch]

The quietest day on discord so far ??? Halloween .. my 3 hour welcome posts were only separated by a few posts I got accused of spamming

[cloud horizon]

In theory, all of the information that @remote latch has is freely available to everyone 😀

[heavy dew]

[heavy dew]

In theory so is all of the internet 😉

Low quality doesn't mean bad.

Some puns are better when low quality.

[remote latch]

another nish identity confirmed

[marble tapir]

Good day everyone

[worthy rose]

This is actually nish un-shortened

[topaz path]

you didn't before that? lucky. i needed it even before i met wippit let alone after marrying him

[heavy dew]

I think I've needed it since before I existed

[abstract rover]

i've needed therapy since i made the mistake of entering college

[worthy rose]

Be like me and quit college

[abstract rover]

i did lol

glad i did too

waste of money and effort

[heavy dew]

As long as you're happy ^^

[abstract rover]

and brain cells. most of which i lost during that time

[abstract rover]

yeah more than i would be if i stuck to it

[heavy dew]

That's what I mean, as long as the choice you made resulted in you feeling better, it was a good call

[ocean stone]

Have you tried retracing your steps?

[abstract rover]

never

[heavy dew]

Is that those connect the dots drawings?

[abstract rover]

i aint goin back

[ocean stone]

[heavy dew]

Cinna means to find your lost braincells xD

[ocean stone]

I think that was the joke...I h ope lol

[remote latch]

coughs discretely looks at mod corner ... ahem .. so .. how is everyone liking getting the voting system back again ?

[heavy dew]

Why don't we take a vote and find out?

Okay vote is done, I like it, that's all

I took the liberty of saying you like it, for all of you

[ocean stone]

How many times is it legal to vote? Asking for a friend

[ocean reef]

Just thought I'd say hi been lurking and reading all this Palia chat.

[heavy dew]

As many as you identify as being, if you identify as 100 humans, then you get 100 votes

[ocean stone]

What if I'm 10000 grains of wheat

[heavy dew]

Then no votes

Only humans get to vote, sorry

If I step into a voting booth and there's a slice of toast there, I know what happened @ocean stone

[vast cradle]

wait, does that mean chair isnt included in this democracy? I am offended on their behalf.

[heavy dew]

Chair is the seat of power

[vast cradle]

but if the seat of power is sentient, should it not get to participate?

[remote latch]

but then does that mean sentient toast gets to vote ?

[heavy dew]

How do we prove anyone is conscious/sentient? Why don't we just do no votes and leave it all to me? /j

[vast cradle]

fair point, you are a sentient artistic berry after all. Clearly a better choice for leader.

[heavy dew]

Oh crap I just realized I'm also a non human name xD

Wow that's emberrysing, how did I forget that

[vast cradle]

[heavy dew]

I genuinely forgot the joke applied to me too

[ocean stone]

I never leave any crumbs. I am a toast without a trace

[heavy dew]

You're very crustworthy, so I believe you

[vast cradle]

Toast of Tracelessness +1

[latent sonnet]

I guess I do bring along the puns so maybe I'm more crumbly than I thought

[carmine relic]

My luck rapidly flails from good to bad at all times.

[abstract rover]

luck doesnt exist

it is an arbitrary descriptor for probability

[wind ibex]

Then I somehow angered God.

[heavy dew]

Luck is an interpretation for convenience sake, exists as much as our construct of time, I agree with both sides, if you wanna be technically correct or not xD

[wind ibex]

Time is the movement along the 4th dimensional axis of our universe.

hi Amelia, how was your holidays ?

Hi Amelia!

Hey Amelia!

[pallid igloo]

Eeeey, Kinjerry!

[ornate ocean]

How's the weekend?

[pallid igloo]

Hi Dragom!

They were great Xrystal, thank you for asking!

Not sure if you're US based, but regardless I hope you had a nice weekend, too!

[wind ibex]

One time in the Lineage 2 beta, I walked across the ocean as an elf from the elf area to the human area, half way there I permanently lost my unlimited underwater breathing. Had to make it the rest of the way with healing spells to stay alive.

[ornate ocean]

oh right, Thanksgiving was last week

[pallid igloo]

Otherwise known as the Festival of Mashed Potatoes

[wind ibex]

Turkey Day

Pumpkin pie and Brownies

[remote latch]

thanks 🙂 UK but have a massive network of family around the world 🙂 albeit beyond 3rd cousin level

[pallid igloo]

FOURTH cousin??

[remote latch]

4th to at least 8th

[heavy dew]

I've heard of this breaking the 4th wall

[pallid igloo]

So what you're saying is, we're blessed with being able to find Xrystals wherever we may go

[remote latch]

[heavy dew]

The Xrystal Lake Lotus, it's a sign

[carmine relic]

That is a lot of cousins

[heavy dew]

Some are even flowers and lakes

[brave thorn]

Good morning and Happy Chuusday everyone!

[ornate ocean]

Is mashed sweet potatoes a thing?..

[heavy dew]

Yes da si oui

[ornate ocean]

huh, interesting

[wind ibex]

Usually they are topped with marshmallows

and frosted flakes

[pallid igloo]

Mmm, crunchy

[carmine relic]

No, mushed sweet potatoes/yams plus brown sugar

[heavy dew]

I'm hungry now

[remote latch]

aren't you always hungry ?

[heavy dew]

That's fair

[wind ibex]

That is the base, I was talking about the topping

[heavy dew]

My statement stands

[carmine relic]

Oh

[remote latch]

Amelia, can you tell us how long the critter reveals will be when you start them next year ? Rin was talking about it earlier - or too soon for numbers ?

[ornate ocean]

I remember watching a Bon Appetit series on Thanksgiving table, they had mashed potatoes with some fried potato bits in there, so that it has the mushy texture, but a crunch as well

[wind ibex]

Bake the Yams, mash them, mix in the brown sugar. Place base in a large glass dish (9"x13") top with tiny marshmallows then frosted flakes, bake again until the marshmallows are golden.

[ornate ocean]

mash em, boil em, put em in a stew

[brave thorn]

You canz keepz desgisting chipz. Wez likez our fizh rawz and wriririgling!

[wind ibex]

[remote latch]

are you still sleepy Kaede .. lots of zzzzzs there

[pallid igloo]

I can give you a range - the rule of thumb with what we're able to zoom in on is, if it was in the trailer, we can talk about it. Obviously there are some exceptions, like all the NPCs, the specific meals; but as long as we're in the sphere of what was shown in the trailer, we're in the clear.

So with that in mind, depending on how far I can persuade the sphere to expand, we're looking at anywhere between 3-8ish.

[heavy dew]

Chapaaaaaas

[brave thorn]

Well I did just get up, but now I feel really old.

[heavy dew]

We all know "z" is a youngsters letter

[wind ibex]

Note: impersonations don't portray well via text.

[remote latch]

'what you talking about willis?'

[ornate ocean]

Amelia, I'm curious - how did you come about community management?

[pallid igloo]

Oh! By way of pursuing a cinema degree. When I was coming up in that world digital media was really bursting onto the scene. I was a big fan of The Guild, and so I applied for an internship at Geek & Sundry, the company that produced it. Through there I saw the interaction of audience with content and it was like a moth to the flame. I was hired by G&S out of college as Felicia Day's assistant, and she's the one who actually recommended the field to me based on my performance.

Sociology has also always been a huge interest of mine, as well as anything about the human condition. So it's a good blend for my brain 🙂

[ornate ocean]

The web world is a small place, huh? 😄 Never would've guessed I'd see someone related to GnS outside Critical Role!

[remote latch]

I see what you mean

[buoyant heath]

Felicia has always been super nice when I've met her at events

[pallid igloo]

Felicia and all the CR people are bonkers nice!!

[silent cairn]

I recognise nothing and no one from that, but this is extremely valuable Amelia lore

[pallid igloo]

FD goes against any adage about not meeting your heroes- she definitely is a good-hearted person

[heavy dew]

I'm with you there

[pallid igloo]

Before S6 I worked for Batman, who might be more recognizable

[silent cairn]

Might have heard of him. Nice guy.

[buoyant heath]

Amelia, you're my hero

[wind ibex]

I remember one year at wondercon she was at a table doing autographs, but no one was there, and she looked bored. So I walked around shouting that she was giving autographs and the line filled quite fast. She seemed to have a huge smile after that. I left happy.

[heavy dew]

Oh wait I've seen Felicia in shows I just had no idea that was her or her name xD

[silent cairn]

that's actually so cool of you to do that what

[pallid igloo]

It is time for me to fly to the land of meetings, everyone, but it was nice chatting with you! Hope you all have a nice rest of your day 🙂

[silent cairn]

you as well, Amelia!!

[rain vigil]

Just heard about this project and I have to say I am soooooo excited! This truly sounds like the dream game and I can hardly wait for release! Keep up the hard work!

[wind ibex]

Welcome to the waiting, where we try to keep each other entertained while we wait for the Cozy.

[heavy dew]

With equal amounts of cozy and chaos

Welcome to the party ^^

[wind ibex]

They are not mutually exclusive.

[heavy dew]

that's the best part!

[wind ibex]

Many users here I would classify as Chaotic Good. While I myself am Lawful Good, I can appreciate the chaos of others.

[carmine relic]

Real legends are chaotic lawful!

[wind ibex]

That's not how that works...

[carmine relic]

Too bad, I'm chaotic lawful.

[wind ibex]

I think the term you are looking for is Neutral...

[heavy dew]

I'm Berry, I don't fit in any category

[carmine relic]

Yeah ya do

[heavy dew]

My zodiac is asparagus

[arctic apex]

Said with the zeal of a rugged individualist

[wind ibex]

I need the structure and order in my life that being Lawful provides, it helps me deal with the Chaos of the world. Might be why my Parents think I have Asperger's.

[sullen bison]

Oh! Weirdly this has made me realize... There aren't any sweet ingredients in the art that was posted. No berries

[heavy dew]

[wind ibex]

Apples and Tomatoes are Berries....

[heavy dew]

An apple is a pome

[brave thorn]

Hmm tomato pie! (Presuming #2 is a pie) for as far as we know its probably a queish

[wind ibex]

pome?

[heavy dew]

It's a fruit category

[sullen bison]

Potato pie is nice, it usually has tomato on the top!

[heavy dew]

Same as berry, drupe, etc

[arctic apex]

There are tests for that now. Your doctor should be able to direct you to the appropriate specialist. And if your parent's think you are, they should talk to your doctor instead of coming to their own conclusions so you can get the support you may or may not need.

[sullen bison]

Hmm I guess also... They're very human vegetables. Do you think there will also be elven/etc ingredients?

[wind ibex]

My mom is a Nurse, and at 35 they know me well enough that saying it would be taken as an interesting fact rather than an accusation.

[arctic apex]

Ah. Well, you do you then.

[carmine relic]

I don't know any Elven ingredients but now I'm interested in the idea

[heavy dew]

We chatted about this yesterday too! We're speculative we'll have familiar and completely new ingredients!

[sullen bison]

Ooo! I hope so :D

[celest maple]

Surprising fact, in France the translation is "Pomme"

[halcyon rover]

what is elven ingredients ?? just plants grown by elfs ??

[wind ibex]

Don't open that box Pandora.

[vast cradle]

grab a pot, a pile of rando plants and fruits and see if a meal comes out of it, experimentation time

[heavy dew]

The animals are mixes, the grumpy fish is new, the veggies seem to be human like, but it's only what we've seen so far ^^

[sullen bison]

Pomme 🍏 and pomme de terre 🥔 (sorry if my spelling is terrible)

[carmine relic]

Something something, haha pineapple is an "earth-apple"

[heavy dew]

If you use it as a melee weapon it's a painapple

[celest maple]

You fool

[wind ibex]

You'll let the hope out

[celest maple]

It's great!

[sullen bison]

No, like totally different ingredients never been seen before. Things that grow in elven lands.

[carmine relic]

And this is why I said I don't know any. Hopefully Aurel knows!

[heavy dew]

Basically, not a carrot

[celest maple]

Whatever, it has to be done..

[wind ibex]

We need that hope to deal with everything else that already left the box.

[sullen bison]

They can be anything the devs imagine! :) Flutterberries! Glowranges!

[heavy dew]

What about the Seblatang?

They're a wonderful vegetable I just made up

[sullen bison]

Sounds good!

[wind ibex]

Savoroot.

Like a Carrot but Savory.

[sullen bison]

There are fantastical beasts so far, and , so I'm guessing there will be fantastical ingredients 🤞

[carmine relic]

Wall-vine berries. Vines that grow furiously along cave walls/stallactitemites that bloom berries

[halcyon rover]

hm.. I will only accept new fruits if I can turn them into pies with ice cream

[wind ibex]

Cave grapes?

[heavy dew]

Ooooo are they bioluminescent?

[sullen bison]

I like this plan!

[carmine relic]

I sure want that. Well until you eat some and then have glowing juice on your face and fingers

[abstract rover]

daily reminder that you are loved and appreciated

that is all.

RAT BLASTS OFF

[wind ibex]

[sullen bison]

Anything that glows I'm all in

[heavy dew]

YES

[carmine relic]

Except squids. We know how sad glowing squids went.

[abstract rover]

hey, i like the glow squids. they make signs look pretty

[halcyon rover]

do you think it would be to much trouble if there was plants that could only be harvested at night, or maybe only bloom at night ??

[sullen bison]

Oooo that's a really fun idea!

[heavy dew]

I definitely don't think so since they don't seem to be going for real time ingame

I think that would work quite well

[abstract rover]

terraria vibes... daybloom and moonglow im looking at you!!

[carmine relic]

Sounds like a good idea if Palian time isn't based on IRL time

[sullen bison]

You could suggest it in #game-suggestions

[wind ibex]

In the pre-alpha 1h of real time was 1d in game. from what I read.

[sullen bison]

Oh they're not? So it'll be more like one day in game is 1 hr irl?

[heavy dew]

Yeah 1 hour real time = 1 day ingame (as of pre-alpha information)

So there's loads of time for them to change that, but from what we know CURRENTLY

[sullen bison]

I can't believe I brain dumped that info lol

[heavy dew]

I mean there's a looooot of info ^^

[sullen bison]

Oh, got to run bbl! Bye all!

[abstract rover]

take care

[heavy dew]

[halcyon rover]

I think the idea of collectables being tied to the day cycle might be fun, like bats can only be seen at night, night jasmine or other plants can only be harvested at night. though I can see how it might be more work, and might only be fun to collectors or explorers 🤔 I'm not sure how I feel about suggesting it, if only because I could see it not being an improvement for all players or attractive for all players

[stone tulip]

Like animal crossing

[carmine relic]

Night plants would also definitely be something nice to do while everything is quiet and inactive

[heavy dew]

You should definitely put that in #game-suggestions ^^ @halcyon rover

[wind ibex]

Shimmerflies?

[heavy dew]

Love me some shimmerflies

[heavy dew]

They've apparently looked quite a lot at the suggestions channel and gotten some great ideas. And there's no harm in suggesting it, worst thing that happens is they won't do it ^^

[wind ibex]

Oh, the Bioluminescent Cave Grapes could be called Shimmerberries!

[halcyon rover]

well that is true, seeing as it's not irl time based so far I guess it wouldn't be too restrictive 🤔

[heavy dew]

If they haven't already thought of it, I think it's a good addition!

Could be used for other things as well like night fishing

[carmine relic]

I'm remembering Stardew Valley cave carrots. Grew in loose dirt, very starchy

[lost tiger]

hello fellow palians. i voted for recipe #2 🙂

[stone tulip]

YYEEEAAAAAAAAAA

NUMBER TWO

[wind ibex]

I like stews, so I voted for 1.

[heavy dew]

I did the chaotic thing and voted for all of them

[lost tiger]

lmao

[stone tulip]

I'm guessing 2 is a pie

[wind ibex]

Gah! Balance is needed!

[lost tiger]

since you said there is a chance it may be a pie i changed to #3 rofl

[stone tulip]

NOO

Man

[lost tiger]

unless its a meat pie / meat dish

[heavy dew]

3 is just a pinecone

[lost tiger]

hmmmm.......im going back to #2

[heavy dew]

I got you Sandre

[stone tulip]

:D

[wind ibex]

Ashura Balance has been disturbed in my absence...

[stone tulip]

Honestly 3 is gonna win by a long shot so I'm just seeing how far 2 can get XD

[heavy dew]

What about ❓

[stone tulip]

Is the question mark abstain or a fourth option

[heavy dew]

Yes

[stone tulip]

Fair

[heavy dew]

Haha

[wind ibex]

That Ashura Balance effects us all if 1️⃣ =/=❓

[rare saddle]

good afternoon /timezone, Palia Peeps!! It's beautiful here, I hope y'all are having a great Tuesday!

[heavy dew]

You too Garnet

[stone tulip]

It's snowing where I am

[heavy dew]

[stone tulip]

What is this?

[heavy dew]

A chuulupa :3

[wind ibex]

Chapaa Chalupa

[stone tulip]

So a chapaa taco?

[heavy dew]

No no, google Chalupa

[wind ibex]

taco =/= chalupa

[heavy dew]

I mean, yes

[idle zealot]

Oh its so cute

[stone tulip]

Man I want one now

I'm hungry

[rare saddle]

it's been forever since I've had a chalupa... oh dang.. makes my mouth water.

[heavy dew]

I just want food now..

[wind ibex]

[stone tulip]

And I just had lunch

:\

[idle zealot]

I just ate food so im good rn

[wind ibex]

I'm always hungry

[heavy dew]

Big same

[rare saddle]

I haven't eaten yet.. even though I've been up since 4am and it's now 1 in the afternoon. Just haven't gotten to it yet. Though I did have coffee!!

[wind ibex]

But I can't eat all the time due to "The Diabetes".

[idle zealot]

Coffee is a must have

Food (opt) [this is a jest]

[rare saddle]

or is it? hmmm... coffee makes a good breakfast.

[heavy dew]

Soon as I finish eating, I'm waiting for the next time I can eat

[wind ibex]

Caffeine free since 06

[stone tulip]

I'm exempt of this rule, I don't like coffee

[heavy dew]

Neither, I aint about coffee

[idle zealot]

Exemption allowed

[heavy dew]

The less coffee I drink, the more coffee for you! #logic

[idle zealot]

Yaaaaassss

[rare saddle]

oh my goodness, I can't imagine... I love the smell, the taste... don't care about the caffeine, I just love the drink.

[idle zealot]

guzzles whole pot fresh

[halcyon rover]

It was oddly hard preparing food for my friend who has diabetes. I wasn't aware how much attention has to be paid to things like white bread and other fairly stable foods

[idle zealot]

Stable or staple foods?

[brave thorn]

Coffee is my life blood

[rare saddle]

staple, I'm sure 🙂

[stone tulip]

It's too bitter for me. Even if I made it half a cup of coffee and the rest was milk it's too bitter

[rare saddle]

don't think the horsies are having white bread.

[heavy dew]

Don't get me wrong, I have more caffeine in my body than blood, just not coffee

[wind ibex]

The increased popularity of Keto has made diabetic food prep easier.

[halcyon rover]

staple thanks for the correction

[rare saddle]

I don't like Keto, but I do like low carb. Except I adore tater tots and anything else made with potato.

[idle zealot]

Gotcha, just makin sure i was understanding jdjdjd

[buoyant heath]

Are Chapaas keto?

[idle zealot]

Yes

😈

[heavy dew]

Chapaas are 0 nutrients, it's like taking a breath of air BECAUSE YOU DO NOT EAT THE DAMN CHAPAAS

[idle zealot]

eat the chapaas, mm chapaa stew

[heavy dew]

Gazpachuu

[wind ibex]

For those in the US, go to DQ order a large coffee, a small cone, and normal large cup, add the ice cream to the cup and pour the coffee over it.

[rare saddle]

oh yes. That's good too 🙂

[idle zealot]

👀 inch-resting, i will have to try it sometime

[halcyon rover]

wait I thought chapaas were some sort of pet ? are we meant to hunt them ?

[wind ibex]

I used to have a triple shot every morning before school in Highschool. Likely the reason I can't have caffeine anymore.

[idle zealot]

Good pets and good eatin

[rare saddle]

they're a "garden pest"..

like racoons or possums.

[wind ibex]

Chapaas are like beaver, racoon hybrids.

[heavy dew]

Go hunt the sernuks, they don't mind, but the chapaas are for petting only

[idle zealot]

nom nom the chapaas

[heavy dew]

[buoyant heath]

You telling me you don't eat your pets?

[stone tulip]

Excuse me?

[heavy dew]

I mean it's the sole reason I keep an aquarium, some fresh sushi? doesn't get better

[carmine relic]

What did I return to

[wind ibex]

My mom's neighbors ate one of her pets when she was growing up.

[heavy dew]

Dad having one of his days again

[idle zealot]

Sksjje

[halcyon rover]

well no I haven't heard of people eating their pets... pests like pigeons on the other hand I have heard about people eating, so I guess that makes chapaas okay

[heavy dew]

You good? Do I need to call someone?

[idle zealot]

Pffft im good, just a fan of keysmashing

[heavy dew]

That's fair play, carry on

[digital token]

oh keymashing?? I LOVEKAJ;SDKFA;SA;SDKAF;EOUZp;insdfk;a

[heavy dew]

There's no official confirmation whether they're huntable or not, all we know is some pre-alpha data showing animals hunted with a number and sernuks (the deer looking ones) being the highest % of that total. I just personally am making a fuss for the sake of discussion about not eating the little cutiepies

But I'm really shooting myself in the foot if they are part of the hunting xD

[rare saddle]

people also eat possum and squirrel...

[heavy dew]

People eat dog and cat too, bunny, rabbit, horse, not much we don't eat xD

[rare saddle]

well.. I draw the line at pets... and dolphins... some other animals. But if you're hungry, you eat what you have... I used to raise rabbits, some were pets and some we didn't name because they ended up in the freezer.

[carmine relic]

Better look out for a white furred red eyed one

[rare saddle]

with the big teeth..

[long ore]

... i mean i hope we have game to hunt along with deers and elk as such

nothing weird

[rare saddle]

yes, we will 🙂

[turbid flint]

oo

[heavy dew]

The stats for pre-alpha hunting was 128,592 beasts hunted, only 67,727 of those were Sernuks, so there will be more ^^

[long ore]

hopefully

like legendary hunts

[halcyon rover]

I can't see turtles/tortoises being eaten. It just hurts to see. Other than that I'm kind of squeamish with frogs and toads. purely because I saw one being prepared while the one who cooked it was singing a Danish kids song about frogs >.<

[rare saddle]

where did you find the stats, Sir Berry?

[heavy dew]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/851872208196206602/893196290639413288/Infographic_PreAlpha_Finalv6.png

Found here: #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message

With plenty of other statistics!

[sullen bison]

Grumpy fish probably makes grumpy pie

[long ore]

hmmm lol

[carmine relic]

I prefer to just eat the common standard stuff. Pigs, chicken, cows. Usual

[long ore]

^ same

[rare saddle]

wow, I never saw these stats!! I'm all excited again!!

I like to explore new things, expand my horizons... so I'll try just about anything. It amazes me that there are SO many different vegetables, fruits, and animals that are eaten all around the world, but here in the USA we just have a standard set of foods.

[heavy dew]

[rare saddle]

DANG, over a MILLION stones were collected!!

[long ore]

the only thing that is too much for me to eat are bugs/pets such as dogs/cats parrots etc. other than that im ok with eatting anything else oh also no snakes

[carmine relic]

rock and stone

[heavy dew]

Wait until you see the tree stats at the bottom

[rare saddle]

I've had crickets. And frog legs.

cricket tacos in Mexico.. lol

[halcyon rover]

I have a thing for foreign condiments, at the moment I'm trying to get my hands on Kaya spread, not easy to get now UK is out of the EU

[long ore]

.. how are they? i heard frog legs are like between chicken and fish dont know crickets.... i can hear the crunch LOL

[rare saddle]

ROCK and STONE!!

[heavy dew]

ROCK AND STONE! ⛏️

Speaking of which.. @carmine relic when do you have time for me in your busy kerbal life?

[rare saddle]

yes, that's exactly what they taste like.. fishy chicken.. lol.. they're good. The crickets I don't recomend because the shells aren't "crispy" crunchy, they're more of a sharpish crunchy. The taste is eh.

[carmine relic]

Any,mostly. Well not now, but gimme an hour

Not like I'm employed to play KSP

[heavy dew]

Got yourself a deal good sir

[buoyant heath]

Rock and stone?

[long ore]

Hm... i'll just pass on both of them lol

[halcyon rover]

I wonder what all those rocks and stones where used for ?

[long ore]

making stone walls and such is my guess

[rare saddle]

Rock and Stone.. is the battle cry in Deep Rock Galactic.

[long ore]

bricks to make houses

[sullen bison]

Furniture maybe?

[heavy dew]

A comfy half wall in the garden made of natural stone

[rare saddle]

I would expect so... I'd like to use stone, not brick, on my house.

[long ore]

i would use wood all the way for my house

[sullen bison]

Oooo yes!

[long ore]

want to make it cozy as possible

next to a river

[sullen bison]

Maximum coze

[rare saddle]

that sounds lovely 🙂 I want a combination of stones and wood.. like a half wall of stone and wood above it. And a stone fireplace. And stone pillars out front.. craftsman style.

[heavy dew]

A rugged stone foundation with a wooden lodge on top, mmmm, dream

[rare saddle]

oysters and pearls??? GREEN pearls??? neato!!

[heavy dew]

They seem to be somewhat of a rarity ^^ but yes!

[long ore]

wait wait will there be blacksmiths?

if not im making one lol

[errant fable]

when the game is expected to be released?:0

[long ore]

my guess is 2023

[heavy dew]

Not confirmed if it's a player profession but there's concept art for forges

[rare saddle]

hi, Saf!! welcome to the Palia Community!!

[heavy dew]

In less than 2 years and 7 months, closed alpha will take place in the first half of 2022

There is no release date though, only a loose timeframe

[long ore]

dude i hope u can pick skills instead of one profession

[heavy dew]

You can pick ALL OF THEM

[long ore]

like lvl up all ur skills 😄

[heavy dew]

That's been said already, you can do all of it if you like

[rare saddle]

oh my gosh, over 1.6 million wood collected.... dang!!

[long ore]

ok awesome first is gonna be max fishing LOL

[heavy dew]

It won't be like other mmo's where you play a class and pick professions, it's a life simulator, if you can do 50 different hobbies irl, I'm sure they want you to be able too in game as well ^^

I'll look for the comment, give me a minute

[long ore]

that would be cool ngl its something different from all the other mmos thats what caught my attention

[red canyon]

In literally every game I've played I've hated fishing lol, fish for me ill pay you

[fossil river]

That's what I liked about SWG, you had a set number of points you could use and could learn whatever you wanted until they were exhausted.

[long ore]

!! WHAT?! thats like the best thing, fishing is one of my favorite past time

[remote latch]

yaay a fellow SWG player 🙂

[heavy dew]

XRYSTAL I NEED YOUR HELP

[remote latch]

yes berry ? 🙂

[heavy dew]

The comment about being able to do all the skills, I can't find it

[halcyon rover]

It's going to be interesting to see how villages/settlements will work. will there be multiple villages ? if yes will there be fast travel between them ? or will it be more stradew/portia ish with just one main village ? if multiple villages is the way they go, does that mean fishing will be in a beach village ? so much I'm curious about

[fossil river]

New World is cool in the fact that the skills are tied to the weapon moreso than the player, so you can switch all you want...but on the crafting side having everyone able to do everything is extremely detrimental to a player economy, IMO.

[remote latch]

clue is 'all the things' 🙂 hold on

[rare saddle]

what is SWG?

[remote latch]

star wars galaxies

[fossil river]

Star Wars Galaxies

[remote latch]

No hard lockouts, but you'll find it challenging to keep up with ALL THE THINGS```

[rare saddle]

ah, thanks 🙂 not one I've played.

[heavy dew]

OH YEAH, thanks Xrystal!

[remote latch]

You say that but you know someone will rise to the challenge. ```

[wind ibex]

The Fount of information saves the day again.

[heavy dew]

This @long ore !
combined with 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.

[fossil river]

Sony did an excellent job of killing it. A perfect example of how NOT to manage an MMO...as in ignore the player base.

[long ore]

Ok thanks berry

[remote latch]

Can't expand beyond the skills that were announced. But there will be more and we'll prioritize the things players are asking for```   We only know some of the skills that will be available .. and sounds like they *may* expand them after release

[surreal crest]

look at Berry
being helpful and stuff

how dare he

[heavy dew]

With some help from Xrystal xD

I may have been here as long but I'd be foolish to think I was as organized in the quotes as her

[surreal crest]

Xrystal has probably second keyboard filled with macros for these

[heavy dew]

Sometimes I find the courage to not be sarcastic

[remote latch]

I am nowhere near as organised as I will be once I start organising the quotes when I have copied them all out 🙂

[surreal crest]

it cannot be
regular Berry would never do that
Cookie Berry on the other hand...

[heavy dew]

See this is what I mean, the dedication

[heavy dew]

It's just a holiday thing, I'll go back to normal Jan 1 xD

[surreal crest]

good haha

[remote latch]

For those that liked listening to the day time theme posted last week .. someone posted on twitter their rough saxophone version .. short but sweet in my eyes - https://twitter.com/yoMonochrome/status/1463635841838944262?s=20

[rare saddle]

oh my... that is so lovely...

[tribal field]

Hello people ! I'm trying to find a high rez of the logo of Palia, can someone help me find it ?
(it's for a role giving news about the game on my discord 🙂 )

[brave thorn]

That's a toughy. I myself have used the one downloaded from the website (and I make sure to use it in a editorial-like presentation).

[heavy dew]

@remote latch take a look in #🐦│social-feed , might be something for you to add if you haven't already, it was quite well phrased

It's phrasing we've seen before but it was a very well put together summary

[tribal field]

Thank you ! Are you talking about the one that is brown and turn green when you mouse-over or..?

[brave thorn]

Yep, that is a direct SVG script in the HTML.

[remote latch]

yep thanks, it does sound familiarly phrased but grabbed the quote and link for when the question is asked again.

[tribal field]

Well i found one good enough for the moment, a little low rez but it should suffice, until we have more assets available. Ty for your time 😄

[brave thorn]

Thats good. Just remember to use it appropriately and I recommend to make sure to credit S6 appropriately (Something like "Palia is a trademark or registered trademark of Singularity 6")

[wind ibex]

Our lil Palian family is over 113k people. Nice to see we are still growing.

[heavy dew]

It's familiar because of this: #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message

[tribal field]

It will be on a very small private discord, to advertise Palia and give out news about it as we are interested about it, so i guess it will be ok 😉
But ty for the advice :p

[remote latch]

yeah, I just saw that part of the twitter .. I thought you were talking about the response to the question about it 🙂

[heavy dew]

No no I mean the phrasing on their post ^^ but the part about hardcore players having something to do is a nice addition as well!

[brave thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-badling-duck-walk-quack-quack-duck-take-over-gif-14583973

(Soon we will be ready!)

[remote latch]

yep, 1500 in the last week

[wintry jolt]

That is sooooo cute! Did I miss it in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art or is it new?

[heavy dew]

Eila!

[wintry jolt]

Berry!

[heavy dew]

There's a bunch of new holiday stickers and emotes! All the stickers are in their tab and all the emotes can be found by searching for :winter

[remote latch]

I just love chapaa in a box

[wintry jolt]

I always forget stickers are a thing since most of the servers I talk in the most don't have them 😹

[heavy dew]

They're wonderful!

[wintry jolt]

I did find a holiday profile pic finally, dug around a coloring book app for ideas and ended up coloring a cute baby reigndeer, edited out the horns and it looks like a baby sernuk in a winter hat/scarf/coat we don't really have much sernuk for emoji do we?

[heavy dew]

We have 2, that's it

[wind ibex]

[wintry jolt]

I must work on being able to draw them lol

[heavy dew]

When I made mine, I was a challenge to fit it in the frame xD so I just stuck to chapaas!

[wintry jolt]

xD

[wind ibex]

[wintry jolt]

They remind me of mounts/pets that I really like in a couple other games

[heavy dew]

Charging into battle with the Sernuks and the battle chapaas following

[wintry jolt]

lol

[heavy dew]

For the snowball fights, I mean

[wintry jolt]

Sernuk pulled sleigh rides/races would be fun too

[heavy dew]

Yaaas

[brave thorn]

I am glad that you like it!

Oh by the ways everyone, I got a new #🎭│palia-memes up that might make you guys look at the current #📮│public-polls in a different view.

[rare saddle]

saw it, love it!!

[remote latch]

hmm ... checks art project this week ... hmm looks at idea ... hmm .. challenging drawing project

[wintry jolt]

I think sernuks have been an art challenge but holiday themed palia critters would be an interesting one (feel free to run with it as a personal project if that's what you ment too)

[remote latch]

II was thinking of the sernuk pulled sleigh as you suggested for the wintery challenge we've got this week/month? But will see .. it depends if the muse is with me .. I've been with a chapaa muse for the last week or two

And of course I do have another idea that is just as wintry .. so have other options if you were thinking about it

[wintry jolt]

oh! xD yeah I hadn't looked at the art challenge, it's been a busy, draining, week trying to care for my wild child while fighting a cold myself and trying to not have her catch said cold lol, my tablet isn't even plugged in and I may not take part in an art challenge for another week or two (or possibly longer) so I'd be honored if you ran with it as an idea

on a side idea you could have chapaa riding in the sleigh xD

[remote latch]

Champagne the chic chapaa

[heavy dew]

I heard champagne, where?

[remote latch]

[wintry jolt]

I have the unfortunate thing where I have tons of fun/cute ideas for art but never enough time to finish hardly any of it

[heavy dew]

Ah, yes, the con of having a smol hooman

[wintry jolt]

yush lol

[remote latch]

I have now figured out why kenyatta has been going to the stables .. she has been looking after a very spoilt chapaa

[wintry jolt]

I fear for my tablet with her running around which is why it's packed away again

[heavy dew]

I'm confident though you think the pros' massively outweigh the cons xD

[wintry jolt]

oh yes, of course

[heavy dew]

I don't blame you until she's a lil older and understands the value of said items ^^

[wintry jolt]

trust me there are days where I wonder wtf I was thinking but for the most part I love having her

as she snap-shoots a balloon into my face

[remote latch]

and after her screaming tantrum teenage years where she may throw it around in a fit of temper .. nah .. my brother never did that .. nah never

[heavy dew]

I think that's only natural, I'm sure my parents thought the same thing more than once

[violet crypt]

lurks

[heavy dew]

I've only ever smashed 1 monitor, 2 keyboards and 1 door, but 3 of those wasn't temper, was merely they were old and I was gonna replace them anyway, and when else do you get to break stuff?

It's very therapeutic to break things, smash a plate now and then, it's good for you

[remote latch]

My brother upended the unit at the top of the stairs and literally every book on it crashed to the floor .. guess who had the fun task of clearing up after him sigh brothers tsk

[remote latch]

I've punched walls and ripped doors of hinges .. when I've got really really mad .. and that was at work

[heavy dew]

[wind ibex]

The only time I punched walls was when I was smart enough to hit the wall instead of a person...

[heavy dew]

That's also reasonable, Odd xD

[remote latch]

that is why I hit the wall .. I look for an inanimate object 🙂

[heavy dew]

That poor poor tree.. it's already dead and you beat it

[wind ibex]

Fortunately I haven't been that enraged in over 2 decades.

[remote latch]

I actually didn't know I had pulled it off its hinges, I just slammed it .. loudly .. the boss told me on my 3rd time working in the office after trying to leave the clearly stressful environment .. I offered to pay but he didn't want me to.

[ornate ocean]

I only have the experience of punching a dent in a cheap Ikea table and ripping a shelf door in said table

because I stumbled into it

[wind ibex]

If I am at work, I just give the person causing me stress what has been dubbed as "the look" and they back off and leave me be.

[ornate ocean]

I usually just turn sassy

[wintry jolt]

I can not recall breaking anything in a tantrum, accidently yeah since I can be a bit of a clutz but even then nothing major

[remote latch]

I used to bottle it up but after 20 drivers all asking me 'wheres my labels' poor driver 21 just opens his mouth ... I apologised to him of course after I shouted at him

[ornate ocean]

We had a teacher give us a text to translate without a dictionary for some reason, so I asked whether we're supposed to translate and copy the pictures, too

[wind ibex]

Apparently when the person who is usually the kindest person in the building looks at you like they want to rip your arms off and beat you with them is enough to prevent them from continuing their current path of action.

[heavy dew]

It's always the nice quiet patient people you need to chill with when they lose it xD

[dawn bough]

hey guys?! good evening

[heavy dew]

Henlo!

[remote latch]

Looks at mods and admin .. shifting chat back to Palia again ... but hopefully Palia will have a very calming affect on me .. if its as 'chill' as they are hoping it to be 🙂

[dawn bough]

jesus cant wait for that game! o boy im so hyped

[heavy dew]

I quit the competitive environment for the very reason that it riled me up too much, I hope the same, Palia... soothe me!

[wintry jolt]

I am looking forward to a game that has been rumored to not have a health bar, which means no afk death for me

[remote latch]

how hyped ? This hyped ?

[dawn bough]

x2 😄

[wind ibex]

[heavy dew]

That's alot of hype!

[heavy dew]

How do we contain it, you ask? WE DONT! EMBRACE CHAOS

Hey its me, a lurker

[wintry jolt]

This sticker makes me so happy btw to whoever made it, I used to do that silly little dance with my friends online all the time back when it was at the height of popularity

[deep frigate]

I have also been known to lurk occasionally

[heavy dew]

Kaede made it ^^

[wind ibex]

I didn't know about that dance until I saw a female Panda doing it in WoW.

[heavy dew]

Oh we upscaling!

[wintry jolt]

goodness, I remember when we hit 50k and it was a big deal now we're over doubled

[wind ibex]

I was here when Chat celebrated 100k

50k was before my time

[remote latch]

I vaguely remember 80k

[heavy dew]

50k happened.. so fast

[dense vapor]

add 1 more 😛 Literally just tripped over this game in a youtube recommendation and it looks amazing. Excited to see where it goes

[wintry jolt]

my original account joined within the first few days 😹 50k did come by very fast

[remote latch]

welcome 🙂

[violet crypt]

howdy fellow lurker

[heavy dew]

I remember seeing 4000, but from there, until like 76k, I remember no number cause it was sooooo fast

[heavy dew]

Omg I love your pfp

[dense vapor]

lol thanks

[wind ibex]

I found this game when I was feeling nostalgic for Wildstar.

[remote latch]

ah another chaos merchant I see you will feel right at home here 🙂

[dense vapor]

Oh wow, Wildstar. Now theres a game that didn't deserve the fate it got

[wintry jolt]

There is someone trying to revive that btw

Wildstar's Nexus Forever, I just heard about it this morning and have yet to look into it though

[wind ibex]

I have a petition on Change.org, and then there is Nexus forever trying to reverse engineer the server code.

[wintry jolt]

on another note however, little one is asking for a bath so jumping on that before she changes her mind! Have fun chattering yall

[wind ibex]

Good luck

[remote latch]

she just wants to splash you .. the bath is just a side task to that enjoyment factor 🙂

[heavy dew]

[wind ibex]

I actually liked bathes when I was a kid, I hated the feel of the dusty desert dirt on my skin.

It was high in clay and when you sweat it got horrible.

[dense vapor]

BRUH you have my bot in here!

[heavy dew]

POG

Party all the way

(Haven't been any public access voice channels yet though)

[dense vapor]

lol I was just looking at your stats

[heavy dew]

Oh yeah?

[wind ibex]

your bot?

[surreal crest]

wot

[dense vapor]

Partybeast

[surreal crest]

You made it?

[dense vapor]

oui

[surreal crest]

oi that's awesome

[wind ibex]

Cool

[dense vapor]

Yea, I still get the fuzzies when I join a random server and there she is

[heavy dew]

It's quite a thing seeing something you made used by others

[heavy dew]

awww, it's a she

[dense vapor]

uh huh, she's a boss

[heavy dew]

that's cute, it's your baby ^^

[remote latch]

cool .. how easy is it to make a bot ?

[heavy dew]

Now here's the real question, you saw the trailer on youtube.. you saw anything in the trailer that sparkled a lil extra? Maybe.. the.. chapaa?

[remote latch]

yes yes .. back to Palia 🙂

[heavy dew]

I'm not biased, I swear

[remote latch]

no .. of course you're not

[dense vapor]

if I can do it, easy as hell

[wind ibex]

Last week when my mom and my brother's wife were decorating a cookie house, I put the music clip they posted on loop to play for them. they loved it.

[dense vapor]

Honestly the whole art style I absolutly ❤️ it

[buoyant heath]

(PartyBeast is a life saver) SO WHEN IS PALIA COMING OUT HMMM?

[halcyon rover]

I hope there will be a holiday or event in Palia that's about gift giving. Not necessarily one based on a real holiday. Just a holiday that features gift giving. Maybe something where you hand in X amount of gifts to the mayor and then on a certain date the gifts will be returned at random to those who participated

[heavy dew]

<3

[remote latch]

soon .. if soon is sometime between now and 3 years give or take a few months 🙂

[remote latch]

gift giving is how you grow your friendship with the villager npcs 🙂 - and probably some help

[stone tulip]

On a random note: I'm waiting for the alpha to be released for the sole reason that I can experience salty children being salty and laugh at them

[heavy dew]

32,639 friendship gifts were given during pre-alpha, now that's a lot of pebbles

[halcyon rover]

It would be nice if it could be amongst players too though

[remote latch]

they may have already left after the pre-alpha wave

[ebon torrent]

will there be new invites for tests in the future?

[stone tulip]

Darn

[heavy dew]

Next testing phase is alpha and it'll take place first half of 2022 ^^ so yes!

[ebon torrent]

i hope i can participate...

[remote latch]

Closed Alpha is coming in the first half of next year .. invites will probably start closer to that time but we will get an announcement in plenty of time before that happens so you can prepare

[heavy dew]

Fingers crossed

[ebon torrent]

thx:)

[dense vapor]

Prepare as in put time off in at work right?

[stone tulip]

I'm half hoping I can be in alpha and half hoping I'm not, purely because I want to get my own computer and I don't think I'll be able to get it before then

[remote latch]

of course 🙂

but seriously .. more to make sure your email doesn't have issues with it and treats it as spam

[heavy dew]

Gotta quit the job all together so you can play 17 hours a day for months on end

[wind ibex]

My work still hasn't approved my time off I took last week...

[remote latch]

As a guideline .. we had 1400 people in Pre-Alpha with a weeks notice and from invite start to finish announce was 3 months

[ebon torrent]

how many will it be in closed alpha?

[wind ibex]

more

[remote latch]

All we know is more

[heavy dew]

They haven't said, only that it's more than pre-alpha

[halcyon rover]

if you get invited is there something you have to respond to or sort of check in that you want to play or can play in the given test time ?

[ebon torrent]

hmm i hope its more than 10k

[heavy dew]

the pre-alpha was just invites, and signing an NDA. Time period was 3 months so I reckon people just played when they could, was no requirements

[wind ibex]

That sounds like beta numbers...

[halcyon rover]

thank you that's good to know 😄

[remote latch]

hard to say .. it depends if they have the hardware to handle that many at once or have test groups with different groups at a time playing to be within their hardware limits they may have at the moment .. they weren't prepared for the interest back then .. but .. you never know .. maybe they are a bit more prepared for this amount of interest 🤞

[heavy dew]

But what was in said NDA or invite email only the invited and S6 knows, so when they do the announcement for alpha and invites, I'm sure it'll have more than elaborate info

[remote latch]

This is what was said regarding Alpha numbers [S6] AmeliaMarz — 10/29/2021 It is a bigger number of players than the Pre-Alpha, but still a moderate selection. We'll give more details closer to the date

[remote latch]

Twitter post : https://twitter.com/playPalia/status/1465798484317982721?s=20 Yes! There is an in-game guidebook that is a really helpful primer for new players and old friends to visit for a quick refresher 📚 The community has also been incredible at collaborating on helpful documents in the Discord 💞 It's very humbling.

[heavy dew]

Whoop whoop!

[spiral pebble]

Any ETA about the official launch of this game .. am excited to try it ..

[remote latch]

official launch is a considerable way in the future .. current time frame is less than 2 years 7 months .. Closed Alpha is next on the list of limited access though if you're lucky.

[wind ibex]

The less than 2 years 7 months is based off of the date in which they said the launch was "Much less than 3 years out"

[remote latch]

And a later update by the same dev 🙂

[wind ibex]

I missed that update...

[remote latch]

I thought you might have 🙂

Link: #💬│palia-discussions message

[wind ibex]

What happens when you work 60 hours a week, you miss stuff...

[remote latch]

work is important .. 🙂

[pure badge]

Good night yall!

[peak escarp]

Hello! I hope everyone is having a lovely day/night!

[brave thorn]

My day is crazy, but at least it is not stressful

[peak escarp]

I’m so sorry to hear that.
I really hope it gets better today!

[worthy rose]

anna is here

[brave thorn]

I am keeping a positive attitude. Its just that I had a LOT more things happen in my various multi-verses than what I was expecting.

[marble hedge]

... is it early 2022 yet?

[remote latch]

nope .. not quite yet .. still 30/31 days yet depending on where you are in the world

[wind ibex]

Note: Early 2022 could mean as late as June 2022.

[remote latch]

that too ..

[arctic apex]

While we eagerly wait for Pallia, Rune Factory 4 is out on PC in just a week.

[shrewd fiber]

and Rune Factory 5 is coming out in March!

[tawny pagoda]

Is there going to be a Story (Lore) behind Palia?

[wind ibex]

Yep

[brave thorn]

Yep, this was one of the things specified in the website homepage F.A.Q.

*In Palia, humans are the legendary race, having disappeared thousands of years ago at the height of their grandeur and mastery of magic. Nobody in the modern day knows why.

Until one day humans begin to appear all over the world.

As one of the newly re-emerged humans you’ll have to make yourself a new home in this friendly world, and forge a future for yourself and humanity.

Palia has a deep, evolving story that we plan on telling (with you!) for years to come.*

[remote latch]

I'll hook out the dev comments which have some hint of emotion behind it 🙂
