I'm just gonna gather everything I can around me

Gatherer fam understands

[peak escarp]

Yesssss LOL!

[remote latch]

Depending on how much I know by then .. after the introductory quests .. plan my business ventures while deciding what to do with my plot of land if I decide not to farm

[peak escarp]

Until I have no room let and then I’m left like -> LOL

[remote latch]

after making sure there is at least one person I know on the same server

is that a new pfp Snappie ?

[lyric ocean]

What Keskas said, fiddle around with the options menu first and foremost, then in-game Id definitely appreciate the aesthetic and graphical fidelity, and start working on the place I would call home sweet home

[lofty mulch]

So if I place down crops on one server, and I get placed on a different server the next time I log in, can I find those same crops?

[wispy meadow]

I think so? Unless it's like different characters per server or something

[lofty mulch]

I max out first then I fiddle

[lyric ocean]

I fiddle then I max out

[wispy meadow]

Max the fiddle out

[patent dust]

Yes, your stuff is still there on different servers

[lofty mulch]

I don't envy the guy in charge of netcode then

[lyric ocean]

The first Palian Millionnaire in the works

[patent dust]

Your home is a separate instance, completely unaffected by any servers

[lofty mulch]

So your home is stored locally?

[remote latch]

yeah think of everything that is yours moving with you

[lofty mulch]

No wait that would make visiting other people's homes a nightmare

[patent dust]

I don't think it's stored locally..I'm not sure if anything is stored locally tbh lol

[lofty mulch]

Graphics will still be stored locally, that's where all the filesize comes from

[remote latch]

mmos generally don't store anything locally as it opens up the potential for hacking things

[lofty mulch]

Then why is TERA 70 gigs if nothing is stored locally?

[patent dust]

Makes sense. Idk enough about that stuff tho, I just relay info based on devs public answers

I don't wanna get smacked with

[remote latch]

There is also the chance they store physical elements locally and have extra checks to validate them against the data stored on their servers

[wispy meadow]

Probably the servers keep record of what you have in your instance when you load in or out.

[patent dust]

All I know is you don't have to worry about losing stuff on your land lol

Unless some bug happens

[lyric ocean]

Didn't know there was an emoji for NDA LOL

[wispy meadow]

There is

[lavish hare]

wave Do we know if folks who get invited to the Playtest will be under a NDA?

[wispy meadow]

Yes

[patent dust]

It was needed once everyone started asking us stuff when they saw we began testing

[remote latch]

hi Ruby

[lavish hare]

Makes sense!

[patent dust]

Yes, it's all under nda

We can't give details, just general thing like how we feel about aspects

Like fishing is amazing and it's all I want to do lol

[lavish hare]

I simultaneously hope I get chosen and hope I don’t, haha.

[lofty mulch]

Can you draw comparisons without breaching NDA? For instance if I ask how much my experience playing Fantasy Life will benefit me in Palia?

[lavish hare]

I was a play tester for Monster Train and keeping stuff from my hubby who was following the development was harsh

[remote latch]

I've gone with the .. it will be cool if I get in .. but there's still a lot we get to hear about here if I don't

[lyric ocean]

I simultaneously hope I get chosen and I hope I get chosen

[lofty mulch]

Speaking of, I really should play Fantasy Life. Again.

[remote latch]

Thats what the Guud household had to live with

[patent dust]

Not sure, but I also don't know anything about fantasy life so I couldn't either way haha

[wispy meadow]

What's Fantasy life?

[remote latch]

Hard to prepare for a game that is a new genre

[fallen elbow]

I have that game at home, played it for quite some time, in coop with my fiancée even. I love it.

[patent dust]

i just tried to find other community sim mmos and literally all of it is just palia lol

[fallen elbow]

Never got through the dlc, though.

[lofty mulch]

3DS game by Level 5 where you gather materials/craft things/fight monsters in one of 12 'lives' (basically jobs) and build up your experience in each of them.

DLC is just 'add an extra tier above the last one', not really worth it imo

[lavish hare]

Kinda like RuneScape?

[fallen elbow]

I may have to replay it...

[lofty mulch]

Kinda like RuneScape yeah

[patent dust]

well, you can gather materials and build things, but then again you can in a lot of games lol

[fallen elbow]

Was funny tho, but alone kinda boring to just level a bit further.

[patent dust]

or rather, you can craft things

[lofty mulch]

Fantasy Life would be my most played 3DS game but unfortunately Fire Emblem: Awakening exists

I have played through the campaign of that game I think four times now

[fallen elbow]

That's what my fiancee would say, too.
For me, it was FE Fates.

[patent dust]

Simultaneously, some other crafting options are as simple as putting resources into a crafter and letting them do their thing. In this case we do have an element of time gating, but it's important to note that we mostly time-gate crafting materials, and not final, usable products (such as décor and tools).This makes it important to think strategically about how you’re going to allocate those resources to meet your evolving needs.

decor crafting? 🤔

[lofty mulch]

Fates was good but Awakening just scratches my FE itch more

I don't know why but I like the durability system in Awakening

[lavish hare]

Bleh, nearly 2am and my alarm goes off at 6:30am to start my almost 2 hour wake up process due to switching from a night owl schedule back to an early bird schedule. Huzzah early morning college classes

[fallen elbow]

I never got into Awakening myself. Not even FE Three Houses still.
Maybe later this week.

[lofty mulch]

Like objectively the durability system in Awakening is nothing but an annoyance to the player

[patent dust]

i stayed up for 2 days straight, reset my sleep schedule, and now im still up at 4am lol

a constant struggle

[lofty mulch]

but I prefer my weapons having durability compared to Fates' "weapons never run out" system

[lavish hare]

That is a complete mood. And I’ve done the same thing recently

[lofty mulch]

am I just weird?

[fallen elbow]

I have that but I never get up earlier than 7am -.-

[fallen elbow]

Not really. ^^

[lavish hare]

8 alarms so I’m out of my dorm by 8am for food before class at 9

[lofty mulch]

That's a lie, I am weird.

[fallen elbow]

Clocking in 8 am at work and doing the same at home are certainly different.

[strong plover]

Thanks I'll check that out :)

[fallen elbow]

I'm used to durability mechanics in videogames. I played fates just because they had advance wars like units. 😄

[patent dust]

furiously looking if they talked about durability yet

how does xrystal do this?

[remote latch]

No they haven't - rofl

[patent dust]

oh

[peak escarp]

I will do that too with the graphics! I tend to do that as well in games

[remote latch]

They have mentioned that there are tool tiers but outside of that .. I don't recall the term wear and tear or durability but will check in case its one I haven't seen yet

you mentioned durability quite a bit in June Panda .. but no dev comments on it

[patent dust]

yeah i remmber sayin something a while back about having tool tiers that replace the previous would make durability not make much sense

[remote latch]

but ... if there is a blacksmith skill its possible that they may have a repair option

Are repairs something everyone gets to do to their tools in the forge ?

or like no food rot and no health bar there is no durability loss

[patent dust]

[fallen elbow]

Well, ACNH has tools with wear and tear, though you're able to circumvent breaking tools in some cases.

I'd love to have tools with durability and other options for a bit more strategic planning and gathering.

[patent dust]

actually thinking about it, tool tiers wouldnt prevent durability

[lofty mulch]

gestures wildly at FE:A

[patent dust]

if youre upgrading to another tier, they could maybe drop to the previous tier

[lyric ocean]

I have a feeling you nailed many guesses about in-game mechanics and alpha testers be like

[remote latch]

Yeah whenever I am throwing theories out I say .. no don't even drop a hint

[patent dust]

i love seeing the speculation. kinda makes me wonder if things are bein leaked or if people are just super clever lol other times its just like 'youre so far off you might as well be on another planet'

[remote latch]

I throw Amelia off sometimes .. she says to me sometimes how did you arrive at that ... and I just respond I see patterns

[patent dust]

then theres things being said that are like 'oh...thats not a thing, but maybe it should be'

[lyric ocean]

Some of us make educated guesses, some are wild cards, and one of which is a human wikibot

[patent dust]

omg i just realized your pfp is animated

i dont think ive ever seen data laugh lol

[remote latch]

it might be the dev in me .. I can see how things can be programmed .. and as a gamer .. how I would want a game I want to play to work 🙂

[lyric ocean]

Hhahahahahaha you're the first one to notice, whenever I make a snarky remark or say something funny im like "I really hope someone hovers over my pfp to see the laugh expression that is well time with said remark!"

[peak escarp]

Goodnight Palians, I’m off to sleep! Take care!

[lyric ocean]

This means, she'll hang for another hour before she passes out

[patent dust]

gnight anna o/

[remote latch]

Data has laughed .. when he has his emotion chip in

[peak escarp]

LOL noooooo!

[patent dust]

i do the same thing lol

[peak escarp]

I am fixing my sleeping schedule right now! Hahaha

[patent dust]

im just chattin while i play the sims

and by playing i mean downloading way too much cc and never opening the game

[lyric ocean]

Aw righty then, good to catch you in chat before you went off, Good night BanaMana... Tu Tuuu Tururu...

[remote latch]

I've become a cynic with that game now .. Fortelling Mode: Sims 5 Base Game, Expansion Pack for Jobs, Cool Pack for Jobs, Expansion Pack for Weather, Cool Pack for Weather, Expansion Pack for Spooky Stuff, Cool Pack for Spooky Stuff, repeat for Children, Education, rofl

[patent dust]

over $800 in DLCs

[shut cosmos]

something about sims doesn't hit anymore

[lofty mulch]

I am attempting art, Jina's buns were actually quite challenging to draw

[shut cosmos]

I miss sims 2 nd 1 something about them

[patent dust]

buns in general are a bit of a pain depending on the perspective

notice the buns in my pfp lol

[lofty mulch]

the pfp is small enough to hide any mistake

[patent dust]

and theres plenty of them in there too lol

just a colored sketch with a hap-hazard transflag

[remote latch]

pssst swirls

[lofty mulch]

swirls are really hard to do in pixel art, which is my entire issue

[remote latch]

yeah that would be hard

[lofty mulch]

16000 odd pixels and I can't make buns out of 'em

[patent dust]

pixel art? oh gosh no thanks, thats too hard for me lol

[remote latch]

paper and pencil or brush for me .. I'm old school

[lyric ocean]

Speaking of pixel art, just had this idea of a meme, "Guy excited face" New pixel art game on steam... "Guy angry face" aaaaand its another Roguelike

[lofty mulch]

Pixel art is the only one I'm confident enough to do because it's the one I started on

[lyric ocean]

... "how do you undo a mistake in your art?"

.... "a Rubber... I undo with a Rubber."

[lofty mulch]

Ctrl-Z is a man's best friend

and also drawing everything on different layers so that when I inevitably mess something up it won't be hard to fix it

[remote latch]

Yeah my mother does digital art .. It just doesn't feel right to me

[lyric ocean]

Speaking of digital drawings, when I had my Cyberpunk Craze I spent a lot of time drawing a One punch Man and Cyberpunk mashup, I will put it in Community art.... As soon as I find it

[patent dust]

do #🎨│artistry instead, community art is for palia stuff only

[lofty mulch]

I've drawn Jina's hair and her hairbands on different layers, that's my level of commitment to seperating out elements into layers

[fallen elbow]

Don't forget the seasons pack, the seasons clothing pack, the seasons festive pack and so on...

[patent dust]

then theres me..who almost never uses more than one layer

my only sims gripe these days is kits

'just throw in some rejected stuff and charge $5'

[lyric ocean]

Oh right, thanks

[fallen elbow]

like with the vacuum cleaners? ^^

[patent dust]

that came with bust the dust, right?

at least that one adds gameplay mechanics

[fallen elbow]

Yeah, may be.

[patent dust]

i think theres one pack that just adds like..3 items

country kitchen? i think?

[fallen elbow]

In before they start Sims 5 with NFTs.

[patent dust]

which couldve easily been done with cottage living

[lofty mulch]

NFTs are inherently flawed for a lot of reasons

[patent dust]

nah i think EA tried NFT stuff and it failed horribly

like 8 sales total

[fallen elbow]

They did already?

[patent dust]

i think that was EA anyways

[lofty mulch]

For example, because of the way web servers work, I can create an NFT that displays as one image on one site, and as a completely different image in a crypto wallet

which begs the question is the value attached to the image or to the link

[patent dust]

my main issue with it all is the absolutely massive amount of art theft

[fallen elbow]

Hey, I sold you that link of an image for 50$, but I accidently deleted the original, so now you'll get the image of a poop emoji. ^^

[lofty mulch]

but I'm also getting off topic so I'm gonna leave it at that before mods notice

[patent dust]

droid who did the asura art in your pfp? that art is adorable

[fallen elbow]

Exactly. I do love me some good art and paying the artists(looks at own avatar pic) but just slapping a nft sticker on it and call it nft to make some fast buck is kinda criminal.

[lofty mulch]

I should draw a PFP for myself
but I also like this one too much to change it yet

[patent dust]

'we can finally support digital artists!' yeah..you always could just commission them...

[fallen elbow]

Art piece of my asura(Guild Wars 2) by LicheArt. Most of her work may be considered NSFW, tho. But her anatomical correctness of these loveable golins is really good.

[patent dust]

oooo i love liche

[remote latch]

ah yeah .. I put weather instead of seasons rofl

[patent dust]

ive been following her for a good while

[fallen elbow]

Just rename it to add some extra layer for people to p(l)ay.

[fallen elbow]

Can it be that that's an asura in your avatar pic, by any chance? ^^

[patent dust]

nahh, thats one of my goblin ocs i drew haha

[fallen elbow]

Also okay.

[patent dust]

cropped to make safe for this server ofc

i need to draw some asura stuff..im waiting impatiently for end of dragons next month

[fallen elbow]

I may play that addon myself after a long gw2 hiatus. Just to see what my better half played through herself in GW1 days. She loves Jingjea and surroundings.

[patent dust]

I've barely played gw1 so it'll all be new to me. Though from what I've seen people saying, cantha is a lot different visually

Guess 250 years will do that lol

[fallen elbow]

Certainly so.

[viral lotus]

hi palians first time back in couple months how is everyone

[fallen summit]

Hi palasand! Doing pretty good here. what about you?

[viral lotus]

pretty darn good good to see you Kinjerry

[fallen summit]

same here. good to see you again

[viral lotus]

lots to read heheh will have to get on tomorow night and go through some of the chats

[fallen summit]

yeah, we got quite some new art and other stuff to read

[lyric ocean]

Hai Haaaai

[viral lotus]

thats for sure just did listen to the music that was posted on youtube

[lyric ocean]

Every time I read your name I keep remembering Kenshiro from "Fists of the North Star" classic anime

[fallen summit]

oh, never thought of that one XD

[fallen elbow]

Also something I still have to watch.

[lyric ocean]

Believe it or not, I watched a few episodes but never finished the whole thing, I am also on a quest to finish off some other classics like Slam Dunk and Ranma 1/2

[fallen elbow]

The really old stuff, huh?
I'm currently into episode 10+ of legend of the galactic heroes and somewhere into second season of crest of the stars.
Both really good sci-fi related anime, but with their way of how they tell the story...

But, in regard of the channel I do hope that I may be able to relive some of my gatherer memories and housing RP ones from Wildstar in Palia.
I miss that game for the unique idea of housing communities.

[fervent root]

Morning

[viral lotus]

morning toy you Vitus

hmm toy silly me, to maybe fingers could learn to type

[lyric ocean]

Oooohhh I heard many good thing of Galactic heroes, it is super deep and very well made. but my smooth brain cant handle such anime.

Oh yess, I adore the classics, I am not much into watching anime, just very lightly. The newest thing on my watch list is also Ranking of Kings, heard many good things about it plus its retro art style

[lyric ocean]

Morning!

[fervent root]

Lmao

[bright forge]

[fallen summit]

Hi Perin and Vitus!

[pure badge]

Good morning yall!

[hasty niche]

Morning is been forever since i was last here

[digital temple]

Mornin

[lyric ocean]

Moooorning!

[viral lotus]

morning to every one

almost bed time for me

[fallen elbow]

Ousama Ranking? Still on my list.

[lyric ocean]

Yeah that one, seen a short trailer, looks amazing

[celest maple]

did someone say Ranking of kings

[fallen elbow]

There's a remake of Galactic Heroes with season 1 on Netflix named "Die neue These."

[fallen elbow]

Yeah. I still have to get my fiancee to watch it.

[celest maple]

its amazing ah

Also keen for the next episode of attack on titan

[fallen elbow]

AoT hm... I only watched until start of S2, but I have some mangas of the series at home...

[celest maple]

It is very good as of now. The anime is picking up on one of the most important arcs

[lyric ocean]

Yes we did, I am excited to see it, I noticed your pfp is that tiny kid from the anime

[lyric ocean]

Did you get a chance to see it at all?

I know Netflix have the tendancy to botch anime in their remakes/adaptations

• cough * Cowboy Bebop

[celest maple]

Its a phenomenal anime. WIT Studio are killing it!

[lyric ocean]

Definitely going to give it a watch, My crunchy roll sub expired ages ago, need to dust it off again

[celest maple]

Should also give attack on titan a watch ah

[fallen elbow]

Not yet. Galactic Heroes in original form is one of the longest ova's I ever encountered 100+ episodes á 20 minutes is quite a lot to watch.

[fallen summit]

#💬│off-topic-chat

[fallen elbow]

Maybe, yeah. <.<

[lyric ocean]

So... Palia, Any other critters besides Chappa we know about?

[fallen elbow]

Maybe some to befriend?

[fallen summit]

well, in some of the concept art we've seen the "yakmoos", we know we have "grumpy fish", there's also Tau's species

[fallen elbow]

And there's pets.

[fallen summit]

and if my memory doesn't deceive me, we'll get more critter reveals soon

[lyric ocean]

Actually that sounds interesting, I wasn't jokingly returning to on-topic I legit was curious haha

[fallen summit]

oh, and there's also the ormu (the animals of which the horns we see in Ashura's inn) (if I remember correctly)

and of course there's the sernuks

[lyric ocean]

Hmmmm

[bright forge]

<- this little guy Kitsuu

[fallen summit]

[lyric ocean]

Need to fumble around the discord to find more cat-like creatures

[lyric ocean]

Cuuute

[fallen elbow]

[lyric ocean]

So far we got the Chappa, the Kitsuu, the grumpy grouper (lol just made that up and I like it LOL), and a doggo like creature, hmmm gonna look for catto-like

[viral lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/rosycheeks-mochi-peach-mochi-cat-cute-kitty-peach-cat-gif-16992614

[bright forge]

We have seen more dog/fox ones in concept arts. There is even a dumpster that look like frog in one of graphics.

[lyric ocean]

I can tell that doggos/Foxxos are more prominant just by looking at emojis, and of course the fan favorite chappa

[bright forge]

I mean we have a cat NPC but that's all we have so far

[lofty mulch]

I think I might just end up calling them chappachuus because I can't pick a side

[bright forge]

Some call them emergency food

[lyric ocean]

S6 are doggo persons confirmed
(Only joking)

[fallen summit]

good thing Berry's not here to see this

[bright forge]

I mean he know's about it and I'm not one of the persons. Imagine eating a raccoon or beaver. Gross!

[fallen elbow]

Not sure where I heard that one before...

[bright forge]

I mean durring chapaa vs chuu war? maybe there?

[fallen elbow]

These two may not be the only characters mentioned or introduced to other characters as such. ^^

[bright forge]

I mean some sick people says that even Majiri are emergency food

[celest maple]

Was always wondering. Is there a planned Alpha Test release for the game intended for this year?

[lyric ocean]

Yes there is, no confirmed date yet, but sometime in the first half of this year

[lofty mulch]

there's a closed alpha in the first half of the year

[bright forge]

Yes it will be here in first half of this year

We hope

[lyric ocean]

Good luck to everyone on getting in

I am slightly jelly of the Pre-alpha testers

[bright forge]

You are jelly? I'm here Palia-less for 7 months now

[celest maple]

Oooooo yay ^_^

[bright forge]

But I had my 2 chances so far but no luck sadly

[lyric ocean]

Maybe you won't be this time around!

I understand the invite is via random picker so it is completely a luck of the draw thing

[bright forge]

I mean this time for sure it's random

[lofty mulch]

so you mean that form I spent half an hour filling out is worthless?

okay I'm exaggerating it was maybe ten minutes

[bright forge]

I will give you an answer but don't dig into it. Nope it was not worthless.

[lyric ocean]

LOL, don't think that's the case

[lofty mulch]

Eh that's all I was looking for

[bright forge]

And to be honest I doubt it will be ALL random this time also like the first 2 waves.

But I might be wrong

[remote latch]

Amelia did say people will be randomly selected from the sign ups ... grabbing twitter post link

https://twitter.com/playPalia/status/1479163689655697409

[lofty mulch]

The site also says filling out the form drastically increases your chances

[bright forge]

I mean I'm not that doubtful but I'm not 100% it will be the case for whole slots for Alpha

[remote latch]

yes, thats why we say fill in the form 🙂

[lofty mulch]

Theory: The content of the form doesn't matter, but just filling it out puts your name in the roulette a few more times

[bright forge]

It does not work like that. I hope.

[remote latch]

I suspect the first 200 of Pre-Alphas being specifically chosen so that they could guarantee someone will seriously test and report back and not just play .. like many people do when they get access to an alpha or beta

[chilly crater]

A game theory

thanks for watching

[lofty mulch]

Oh, I will break the game over my knee if given the opportunity

[bright forge]

And I think they will do similar this time. I mean some pre-alpha testers will get in for sure

[lofty mulch]

I will do really silly things just to check if the devs expected me to do it and accounted for it on full release games

[remote latch]

if the pre-alphas have automatic access they won't need to be specific as those first 200 were those specific ones 🤷‍♀️ But I'm just surmising .. it would be something I would do in a similar situation

[lyric ocean]

I'm usually a little pesimestic about randomly chosen for things. the only one time that was a 1 in a million chance I got picked up, is with a World of Warcraft Alpha invite to their previous expansion "Battle for Azeroth" I never for the life of me expected to be picked up

[remote latch]

the only time I got in was due to my addon developer access

[bright forge]

And I have never won anything in random game

[lyric ocean]

Mine was pure luck, I was in absolute disbelief, thought it was a fake phishing email or something

[bright forge]

So yes 2.5 year is still ahead for me

[lyric ocean]

[chilly crater]

So, wait there won't be an open pre-alpha? Closed.. alpha then or?

[lyric ocean]

Closed yes

[remote latch]

I'm a gambler, I know the odds .. so ... I'm not expecting to get in so watch me go crazy if I do

[chilly crater]

huh

gotcha

[remote latch]

Closed Alpha ... following Closed Pre-Alpha ... the next test phase may be Open Alpha or Closed Beta depending on how far they are by then

[wispy meadow]

I know my luck and it's always pretty bad so I'm most likely never going to get in until the game launches or has an open beta or something

[chilly crater]

Well yeah sure, I just assumed they'd do an open pre-alpha before the closed alpha

[bright forge]

I think first thing that may be open for us will be Beta at most.

[remote latch]

Well most companies don't do a pre-alpha to the public from what I have seen .. and maybe not even a closed alpha ... I think you usually get closed beta to public then open beta .. thats why people go into shock when we say 2 years or more for release .. they're expecting announcement means its anytime soon

[chilly crater]

I've seen quite a few new games have open pre-alphas on steam, but I guess I haven't really experienced it with solo published titles

Maybe it's a server handling thing

[remote latch]

yeah I think steam's early access thing is likely the equivalent of crowd funding with immediate access but we're at open alpha/closed beta stage

[bright forge]

Some games have early access but most of the games have only a journalist version and no open anything until release at all.

[fallen elbow]

Yeah. Most games go into Closed Beta after their feature finish. That beta most times is focused on optimising all features and gameplay loops.

[chilly crater]

Look guys I know you're all right, I just really wanna play the game okay

[fallen elbow]

So say we all.

[sullen elm]

So are we never going to find out the origins of the ruin

[chilly crater]

The ruins are an optical illusion

[remote latch]

I don't know, I asked Amelia if we as players would ever discover it but she didn't reply .. she may have missed the question or avoided answering ... I suspect that there is a chance that possibly the players might not get to know the secrets in the first chapter of the game ... I guess we may have to wait until they tell us more

[sullen elm]

Maybe

[remote latch]

Hows that for a very vague theory

[abstract rover]

gm

[lyric ocean]

[wet ether]

Breaking news, Xrystal confirms Amelia promised all secrets will be known on Launch!

[fallen elbow]

Ruins mean there were people before us. either died because of a catastrophe or forgotten over time when a new civilisation resettled in the vicinity. I don't mind knowing what happened for these ruins to be built or who or what built them. But maybe we get to know later because there's always people wanting to know what happened to previous civilisations.

[abstract rover]

nah xrystal is just secretly a dev

[wet ether]

i knew it. if you highlight his name, you'll see tha shadow of background color [S6] suffix!

[fallen elbow]

I'm more on the side of people sometimes come close to the same conclusions.

How's your day so far Cinna?

[remote latch]

These squirrels are so funny .. just had a shopping delivery and flicktail decided the crates were in the way and squeezed past the crates to come in to get her walnut .. and then as the delivery finished bouncealot came running up and sat on the grass by their favourite tree waiting for their walnut

this is a bad sign

[ocean stone]

It's a good sign if you run a coffee shop

[wet ether]

ha!

unless you haven't made your daily sales yet

[ocean stone]

[abstract rover]

not really cuz how can u serve people without coffee

[ocean stone]

But if you ran out cuz you're so popular...

Why work all day?

[abstract rover]

my point still stands

i know how people work. coffee should be available at all hours of the day

otherwise they will be zombies

[wet ether]

I havent drunk caffeine regularly for roughly half a year now

[abstract rover]

good for you

caffeine doesnt do anything for me. i drink coffee cuz its hot

[round turret]

drink hot water

[abstract rover]

no

[wet ether]

yeah, I noticed I'm boiling water a lot nowadays, for just hot water, or caffeine free tea or roobios or whatever

[abstract rover]

hey i already cut soda out of my life, i aint dropping coffee

[ocean stone]

[abstract rover]

im not mentally prepared for that yet

[wet ether]

I wouldnt want to suggest you should either lol

[abstract rover]

well i should

but i wont

i could easily just stop having coffee in the morning

[chilly crater]

That's what we all say

[abstract rover]

but waking up at 6am? god no, i will not survive lol

[abstract rover]

i mean i dont really need it. caffeine dont do anything to me. same with sugar

i was able to drop soda without a hitch

[chilly crater]

[pulsar meteor]

i don't think so, but no mirror in my office here so maybe?

[abstract rover]

[pulsar meteor]

i hope not, the last thing i'd want to do is clash with Tish

[dry lynx]

Hi, I'm not sure who I should get ahold of this - or really who/where I should ask -, but my fiancé got an email from someone claiming to be from Singularity 6 and was offering an interview for the a job. I just wanted to confirm with someone from the dev / marketing / management / HR team the email to see if it's legit or if it's a scam.

[spring rivet]

Please DM me the screenshots, thanks!

[fervent root]

Same like people dont understand that im the male version of aphrodite

[wind ibex]

The god of infidelity and lust?

[fervent root]

Love and beauty is the thing i was focusing on but yes that also

[wind ibex]

lust =/= love

[fervent root]

Yeye

But you get what i mean right?

[toxic charm]

Yes

[fervent root]

[wind ibex]

A friend I had in school based the god of confusion in a story he was writing off of me.

I had the skill of presenting factual information in a way to confuse and disorient others, preventing understanding.

[sullen fractal]

Coooooool

[pulsar meteor]

There is a sublime delight (nish knows what i mean, i think) in occasionally being so brutally honest about a question that your friends are never entirely sure whether you are serious or joking. i hope the conversations with NPCs here will let me do the same

[buoyant heath]

I think this means you're a sociopath.

Am I serious or joking?

[pulsar meteor]

hey, just so long as i have a path 😎

[wind ibex]

Good news is that we live in a society that rewards sociopathic behaviors, as long as they are in legal expression.

[carmine relic]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hi Gambon

i still think discord stickers are a bit too hi-fi, am i the only one?

[carmine relic]

Ah, right

[pulsar meteor]

i might be using it wrong, but they are smoother and cleaner than my streaming movies which just weirds me out

especially the wumpus waterfall tears one

[buoyant heath]

I think they should make you question what is real

[wind ibex]

I do that enough just being awake, I don't need more causes added to the mix.

[carmine relic]

Oh yeah. Now I wonder how many frames a sticker has

[rancid prairie]

[abstract rover]

odd ball hello

[rancid crypt]

I want to be a part of the chat that has played the game.

[rancid prairie]

thanks

Do you know that I would like a palia?

[wind ibex]

Pre-alpha testers are still under NDA, and unable to talk about their testing experience.

[rancid prairie]

i would like live events like in Fortnite and what pallia has history and seasons, what do you think of my idea?

[ocean stone]

@pulsar meteor ^ never forget

[abstract rover]

cinna

[buoyant heath]

It's a max file size, so frames are going to be about resolution and file format

[carmine relic]

Ah

[rancid prairie]

I would like live events like in fortnite but in palia what do you think of my idea?
guys?

[bright forge]

They will roll out story with time

[rancid prairie]

I hope this game will become a titan

[carmine relic]

What happened with a fish

[rancid prairie]

and live events?

[bright forge]

That I don't know but maybe?

[carmine relic]

I feel only of the events last very long. Missing out sucks

[rancid prairie]

It would be good as it would be entertaining for the players to see how the world of palia and the story changes.

[pulsar meteor]

last we saw in official answers, they weren't ready to discuss weather seasons yet, they do want to do periodic special events, but don't think we've seen anything about live event hosting either way

[rancid prairie]

periodic events like in fortnite?

[pulsar meteor]

no idea, sorry, i don't play fortnite. the vibe in my head was more like in-game 'holiday' type events

think it was from an offhand comment one of the devs made in those early days so i don't know whether they've even started fleshing out the idea

[wind ibex]

You keep using the word fortnite, but I am unaware of what two weeks has to do with gaming...

[rancid prairie]

is palia going to be available in consoles?

xbox ps?

[pulsar meteor]

they haven't decided yet - it sounds like they want to but there's a lot of work involved there. they've talked about some of this in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha if you wanna skim those

[wind ibex]

You can run photoshop on xbox?

[pulsar meteor]

some elements maybe 😛

[rancid prairie]

it would be a successful game and played by many people around the world if they put the game for all platforms

[undone mist]

Good morning beautiful people.

[wind ibex]

I think they are hoping to first release on PC, and add as many consoles as possible down the road.

[pulsar meteor]

i'm sure they realize that, but it also means parallel development, approval hoops to jump through, possibly licensing costs, it's a complicated thing and they probably don't want to promise what they're not sure will be delivered

[carmine relic]

Don't want to promise what they're not sure will be delivered
I swear 90% of big games absolutely do this

[rancid prairie]

I wish you success and the best for palia I hope it becomes a popular and successful game you have all the potential to do

[celest maple]

Cross platform is also another thing a lot of games promise and never really do.
And I'm sure palia wants to do cross platform as well.
Just give it time and we'll see what happens :3

[wind ibex]

Palia is already popular and the game is still years from coming out. I don't think we have to worry too much on that front.

[celest maple]

It has a lot of potential = a lot of people want to try it out

[peak escarp]

Good morning Palians! To a lovely day/night!

[carmine relic]

I think the only concern is living up to expectations

[celest maple]

The hype train is real :3

[buoyant heath]

Releasing on a single console adds so much overhead to development, and very little of that overhead can be transferred to other consoles.

[peak escarp]

I’m not used to waking up to birds at 10 am
I’m too used to waking up around 2-3 pm LOL

[buoyant heath]

Thanks, closed competitive systems!

[carmine relic]

I hate exclusives.

[wind ibex]

Fortunately they are using UE, so porting to other platforms down the line can be assisted by provided tools.

[buoyant heath]

I don't really mean the packaging from UE at all.

[pulsar meteor]

gluten morgan cinna!

[rancid prairie]

I have a feeling that palia will be a titan

[buoyant heath]

Like Cronus or Phoebe, or one of the Teen Titans?

My money is on Beast Boy

[rancid prairie]

I mean the video game industry

[marsh olive]

release when 😬

[wind ibex]

Less than 2.5 years out.

[rancid prairie]

I am very excited I want them to release pallia

If I'm not mistaken, they will release an alpha version this year?

[wind ibex]

I want them to take their time and do it right, and not feel rushed by the instant gratification desires of a small subset of people.

Closed Alpha is estimated to start in the first half of this year.

[rancid prairie]

can it be downloaded for all players?

[wind ibex]

Please redefine you question for clarity.

[burnt elm]

Unfortunately since it’s a closed alpha it’s going to be invite only so not everyone will be able to play it

[rancid prairie]

How does the alpha version works?

ok

[wind ibex]

Alpha versions are typically incomplete with only small portions of the game implemented to maximize the testing on the desired portion. The Alpha versions are typically very buggy, and employ "testers" to weed out and catalog these bugs for the development team to fix.

[brave thorn]

In addition to Odd-Ball's comments, early test phases like Alpha work to ensure expectations of the game are in line with the development team goals. They help control the feedback by limiting the number of players involved.

[remote latch]

Based on their comments back in June they plan on PC first and then ‘most’ other platforms with mobile a priority. Of course by the time the game is close to release they may have a better idea of their options. [S6] ItNightshade — 06/04/2021 We're aiming to release on "most" platforms after PC launch, mobile is a high priority, I don't think I can say more than that right now. I can't speak to crossplay. [S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021 We are starting on PC and adding more platforms from there. Where crossplay is possible we will push to support it.

I thought Offal was mom...

[rancid prairie]

is palia free?

[indigo tapir]

Been following the game on Twitter for a while. Didn't know they had a discord until now

[somber crag]

I just know that I'm not a mom. I am only a tree.

[wind ibex]

They are not ready to talk about monetization.

[indigo tapir]

I am SUPER hyped for this game. Can't wait for it to consume my life

[somber crag]

Ope, you're apart of the honey gang. 🍯

Respectable.

[indigo tapir]

I didn't know which one to choose. Chose randomly and it landed on honey

[somber crag]

It's a solid color. It's what I had before I switched to blue, 'cause I'm all about a wintery theme (everytime I mention winter in here, I daydream about winter in Palia. Imagine the coziness).

[indigo tapir]

This game is super cozy based on what Ive seen

[wind ibex]

I'm blue, because I'm blue.

[indigo tapir]

I think I signed up when it first came out, but its been so long I dont remember. But I want to keep a close eye on this game. It looks like a gem

[somber crag]

Bah-bah-dee, bah-bah-dye. I'm blue.

[somber crag]

Yes, absolutely!! They're pretty awesome updating us concerning their progress and stuff, so it's really nice to be in here. They do monthly Q&A's -- #851872171403640873 -- so I'd suggest checking out the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha channel if you wanna read up on things they've talked about.

[indigo tapir]

Ooh thank you!

[remote latch]

And they do weekly visual reveals being a concept art piece or an in game screen etc or some other element of the game. There are entries about some of the villagers and some regarding cooking tools and recipes etc.

[somber crag]

Ooo... yes.. the #🌠│official-art channel, oh my goodness. Packed full of goodies.

[indigo tapir]

I think ive seen some of the art on Twitter

But I shall check it out!

[somber crag]

Check out all the things. INHALE THE CONTENT.

ayyy finally a day where it's not below 0 temps

[abstract rover]

(fahrenheit i mean)

[remote latch]

That's some piece of text there Drey

[errant cosmos]

This is more like hypothetical question i have, and maybe it has been answered before.
How would the housing work in Palia? Each player will eventually have a house, so is it gonna be a full on City filled with thousand of houses, or its more of a instance situation where the houses on a different "instance"? hmm

[errant cosmos]

lmao ,just tired so i wanted to articulate the text correctly ^^

[remote latch]

kinda instanced , depending on their term of instanced 🤷‍♀️ but there will be a plot for everyone to do with as they please .. and will be the result of a quest line with the villagers .. off to grab quotes for this ..

Currently our housing is instanced off in private spaces - there will be ways for players to show off their plots but it will not be so free [edit - as running by someone's home]. As such, there is no shortage of real estate for players to have access to housing.```

[errant cosmos]

I was thinking about it, and got super excited of having thousands of individual homes, and having the game develop into actual settlements, where you could see other people houses etc.
But i guess that would be too much ^^

[frigid temple]

good question - i wanna add do we can build our own houses or do we have templates?

[remote latch]

That might be where the neighbourhood comes into play .. but we don't know anything about that either so who knows 🤷‍♀️

[remote latch]

We have pre-built chunks that you can free-form place and attach and rotate and so on, and then decorate inside and out.
[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
You attach/rotate rooms to create your own floor plan```
```[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
You will have a lot of control over layout of rooms and stuff. Your interior choices are going to be wild```
```[S6] BuscoBear — 06/04/2021
You aren't obliged to improve your plot... and you can apply your own taste when decorating :wink:```

[errant cosmos]

The devs will probably avoid it, to not create actual social statuses, as people who grinded faster have homes closer to the main area.
well thank you for answering ^^

[remote latch]

And .. the icing on the cake .. [S6] BuscoBear — 06/05/2021 The house from the trailer is just scratching the surface of what you can do really.

[errant cosmos]

I was waiting for a game like Palia for years, i will sit and patiently wait for the release ^^

[lyric ocean]

For a pre-alpha, these screenshots look absolutely stunning, Can't even imagine what would beta would look like at this rate

Of course hopefully by the time this game comes out, we would see more facial animations/expressions on characters

[remote latch]

yes, the pre-alpha only had a few customizations in comparison to what will be there by release - [S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021 The Alpha only scratches at the surface here. Lots of customization options coming! I suspect he meant Pre-Alpha.

Oooh, that's a nice lineup of character art in #🐦│social-feed just gonna put that in the basket for reference.

[remote latch]

yeah I took a quick look at it in case they sneaked an extra character in

[cinder temple]

If I'm not mistaken, we've gotten a character card for everyone there but the woman in the brown dress.

[remote latch]

Yeah I think the librarian twin is the only one we haven't got a detailed card for

[late coral]

How on earth do you describe cheese to a blind person?

[wind ibex]

Cultured milk

[bright forge]

I mean it depends if there were blind since they were born or recently and on type of cheese.

[late coral]

Let's say they were blind since birth, and let's say brie

[wind ibex]

Cultured Milk

[late coral]

But what if they ask: "What is milk?"

[wind ibex]

Lactation of a female bovine.

[late coral]

How would they know what a bovine is?

[wind ibex]

Are you sure you are asking about being blind, or being brain dead?

[bright forge]

I mean the are blind not dumb. Blind persons can understand world.

[late coral]

I'm sure that if you try to describe what a bovine is to a six year old blind kid they wouldn't really have a clue

[bright forge]

That's why in case of kids you need something more than just describe. Sound and touch is very important to blind persons. So I will give that kid a figure of bovine describe sounds they make and how they behave.

[late coral]

That's valid I guess

Thanks!

[bright forge]

Happy to help

[cinder temple]

"It's delicious, trust me." And then they trust you, eat the cheese, and most likely agree.

[wind ibex]

"What is Cheese like" plops a block of cheddar in front of them, "Try it, it's awesome."

[late coral]

OR! They get ridiculous diarrhoea

[wind ibex]

The runs does not diminish the deliciousness.

And Cheddar has no Lactose, as it has all been processed by the culture.

[cinder temple]

I feel like this is a villain's backstory, somehow. In any case, there's cheese in the picnic concept art, so we betta get chedda and good gouda in palia. 👀 It'd brie awesome.

For the lurkers out there and any newcomers. Welcome to Palia : Twins. Calere is currently indexing the channels acquiring knowledge that you may find useful. She is starting with the #❔│game-faqs,#❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels first and then maybe the currently archived #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel. In the mean time Elouisa is delving into the mysteries of the files compiled by Rin and Vlad mentioned in the #❔│game-faqs channel. Once you have read through these documents yourself, you should know what we know about Palia : The Game so far. Calere has also read through the Pre-Alpha blog and deems it an excellent read, you can find it on the Palia site that can be accessed via the #📢│palia-news channel or the bottom of the Palia site itself. If you sign up and fill in the surveys I am sure the twins would love the chance to meet you and your friends in person. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy waiting with us .

And on that note .. time for bed 💤

[fervent root]

goodnight everyone!

[late coral]

I will be personally offended if a range of cheeses isn't added, and I will file a complaint

[tame parrot]

Hello chat

Sorry to bother with this maybe stupid question

But I am in a hurry so I prefer asking here instead of searching

[rocky kayak]

Same. Cheese is a must

[tame parrot]

When will the game be released?

[rocky kayak]

We don't really know yet

[bright forge]

In next 2.5 years but Alpha will be here in first half of 2022 so be sure to sign up.

[tame parrot]

Oh nice then, thank you for your time 🙂

[bright forge]

No problem. If you have any other questions I might know answers.

[late coral]

What is the best cheese tho? Personally I am a sucker for Parmesan, but I'm up for discussion

[ocean stone]

I jumped in and thought this said "chesses" and I was like oh multiple kinds of chess could (SHOULD?!) be in the game, yes

Also, hello fellow breakfast oriented pal!

[rocky kayak]

I'll fall for any fancy blue cheese honestly

[late coral]

Hello! I see you are one of taste indeed

[late coral]

Valid, even tho I am incredibly selective when it comes to cheeses with mold

[bright forge]

Cinna have you seen my drawings?

[rocky kayak]

Sharp cheddar too

[ocean stone]

I have not yet!

[late coral]

Now that is good!

But not the orange plastic stuff right?

[rocky kayak]

Yeah no

[ocean stone]

Ohhh I like them Perin!!!

[rocky kayak]

White cheddar

[late coral]

Fantastic

[rocky kayak]

I got one type that was aged for five years I think and it was the best cheese I've ever had

[late coral]

Sounds amazing

Ok I thought I'd just pop in to say hello but I gotta go for now. Working late tonight (And all this cheese talk is making me hungry! )

[late coral]

Have fun! Eat cheese before you go

hey y'all! So my girlfriend and I have been staring at this game for a few months now cuz we can't wait for it. We're so excited :D Have they yet answered how much overlap two players can have with each other? (jointly owning a place, customizing items or houses together, that kinda thing) Sorry if it's been asked before, i was trying to find answers in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha

[bright forge]

#❓│old-team-answers-alpha message here is some info

[heavy dew]

So far what's been said is not very informative but I'd say informative enough, though competitive housing may not be present at alpha or release of the game, it is a big goal for them. Their goal is for the game to be enjoyable alone but better together, so I think you're in for a safe bet! ^^

[next pier]

hey thanks, much obliged my dude/dudette

[bright forge]

Hi Berry

[heavy dew]

Here the dev quote I'm referencing: #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha message

[next pier]

awesome, me and the girl love playing together, and this smacks of our favs like stardew, animal crossing, ect... :D

[heavy dew]

Big same, gf and me have countless hours in Stardew, got high hopes for this to be our next big time sink ^^

[next pier]

between shooting things in battlefield, we have a huge desire to harvest crops in stardew, yeah! a nice, carefree, fun mmo.

[chilly crater]

I have plans to play with my girlfriend too, she's in the server, she just ain't that active.

Would be awesome to decorate houses together

[heavy dew]

They have said that the housing and customization is a big part of their wants for the game, so it bodes well

[bright forge]

(Forever alone me ) I'm so happy for you guys!

[next pier]

we'll all play with you

[heavy dew]

Oh shush you know you're invited over every dinner 👀

[chilly crater]

7th wheeling isn't so bad Perin

[heavy dew]

haha

[bright forge]

Have you seen my drawings?

[heavy dew]

No?! Where?! I've been MIA

Just saw, FROG!

[bright forge]

#🎨│old-palia-fan-art there are two

Me in Palia and frog

What do you think Berry?

[pure badge]

Good night yall!

[quick dove]

Your MIA? I thought I was MIA

[brave thorn]

I am MIB!

Hi Kaede I just wanted to say I was watching "Komi Can't Communicate" anime and there was a character with name Kaede. It reminded me of you. Not the character tho because she was not that well organised as you.

[brave thorn]

Hello Perin. That is not surprising, because Kaede is actually a Japanese name in origin. The name means "maple" or "sweet" roughly. I adopted the name from a character named Kaede Saito, who appears in an older anime called Angelic Layer, who's personality is somewhat of an inspiration to me and how I want to identify myself.

[bright forge]

Well now every time I will see character named Kaede in anime I will try to remember that.

[heavy dew]

I love frog :3

[bright forge]

And what about the other one?

[heavy dew]

You already know we vibe with that look ^^ I like it

[bright forge]

I need to draw more for sure. I forgot it's so much fun.

[brave thorn]

I wish I had more time to draw, after completing my Palia projects, I stopped these last few weeks so that I can concentrate on some career building goals (and I was invited by some friends to play WoW with them).

[bright forge]

R.I.P mage tower

[brave thorn]

Actually I am playing WoW classic. Doing the Season of Mastery promo. (But if you want to know about that ask me in #🎮│other-games )

[bright forge]

Nah I'm good but thank you. I think I saw enough from Blizzard and even my adventure with WoW was short I think it's closed chapter for me.

[peak escarp]

Good evening! I hope everyone is having a lovely day/night!

[urban sparrow]

[marble hedge]

It's currently -18°C outside with a windchill of -27. Lovely is not in my purview tonight.

[topaz path]

guess i'm on the couch... 😛 Hello Anna 🙂

[marble hedge]

You are not a day or a night. You're a lovely person.

[topaz path]

"purview def: the scope of the influence or concerns of something."

😛

[marble hedge]

That "something" is day or night!

[topaz path]

How are you Anna?

in other news i love this new picture https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FI1u3DvVgAcfbHw.jpg:large

tau is best puppy too

[brave thorn]

You might want to edit the link or post the link to the original post. The link is forcing a download instead of opening in a web browser

[topaz path]

better?

[brave thorn]

Yep! That works!

Twitter direct images can be frustrating because their site encodes the image names with a type of sub extension at the end of the file name to tell the browser how to display it. However that sub extension doesn't exactly work outside of Twitter's website.

[cinder zenith]

There's any chance for me to get an access to the game?

[bright forge]

yes

[marble hedge]

The game has yet to be released yet. Alpha testing is scheduled for the first half of this year.

[cinder zenith]

ahhh, ok then

[marble hedge]

You can sign up on palia.com for the Alpha test.

[lofty mulch]

to answer your next question, the first half of this year

[marble hedge]

... i said that....

[lofty mulch]

I can't read, lol

it's like 30C here and I've been outdoors for a bit under 4 hours, the ol' noggin is a bit fried

[cinder zenith]

i've already signed up, i'm waiting since the half of 2021

[marble hedge]

I'd kill for 30C, it's -27 with the windchill here

[bright forge]

tbh if you go from -27 to 30 in a snap you will likely have some trouble and may die...

you can take my -3 tho.

[marble hedge]

In Antarctica there is something called the 300 Club. They wait for a -100F day, go into a Sauna that is at +200 for 10 minutes, and then walk naked outside wearing only boots.

[topaz path]

you die in 30C ... i know I love it. you melt at 24C. Perin would you be willing to do a week's trade of locations?

[bright forge]

I mean yes that may work but it need to be done carefully or some issues may occur that's all I wanted to say.

[topaz path]

30C... i don't even care where on earth it is... pretty please.

[bright forge]

I live around 850m from the sea if that makes it better.

I hope we will get sauna in Palia

[brave thorn]

https://deadshirt.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/tumblr_lzhyr2MInG1qbg5ufo1_500.gif

[bright forge]

or natural hot springs

[topaz path]

I live 7.3 km from the ocean...
We have a bay in Palia. Bahari bay. Currently we know 1 person who lives there. I wonder if she has a guest room 😛

[marble hedge]

Isn't Einar near water? He's the fishing dude... if golems are dudes...

[bright forge]

I mean if someone play their cards right no guest room needed?

[lofty mulch]

I live like 800m from the ocean but I also just don't go to the beach that much

[brave thorn]

[bright forge]

Golems are golems and they may assume given by their creator

[bright forge]

I mean you will become best friends and she will invite someone for slumber party of course 😅

[bright forge]

last time I saw sea was like 6 months ago 😅

Speaking of rooms do you think that we will be able to enter NPC houses or rooms like in SV?

[carmine relic]

Time to steal some purple shorts

[bright forge]

Kenji! BETER GET READY!

[carmine relic]

AND HE'S GONNA GIVE THE GOVERNOR SOME LOVELY SOUP

[bright forge]

Ok 3:23 am it's time to sleep

bye

[carmine relic]

Aye, goodnight!

[ocean stone]

Hey pal

[lost walrus]

oh my

yea they got banned !

[ocean stone]

You could. But not by spamming

You want new friends yes?

[carmine relic]

I think they're gone now

[ocean stone]

Ok

[lost walrus]

🥭

[ocean stone]

Hi Starlight you can make friends, can we talk without all this tagging?

[golden shadow]

here's hoping when Palia drops, there's no value in gold/coins/shiny stones so we can avoid the gold-seller spam. i swear i have chat channels muted in all my games, and in some it's all but guild chat.

[ocean stone]

Right? i agree Basil. P.S. Long time no see!!

[carmine relic]

Why fight over pebbles when we can just look at hte ground

[golden shadow]

yeah, i've been lurking frequently, but also was given the task of keeping the building snow and ice free in exchange for reduced rent. and it being a New England winter...

[carmine relic]

Sounds like a pretty n(ice) deal!

[ocean stone]

Oh I'm about to travel to New England. I hear it is the place to go for the winter

[peak escarp]

Oh Jesus lol…
Hope you’re staying warm!

[peak escarp]

Hello there PaSSionTiger! 👋

[golden shadow]

it can be beautiful depending on where you go. got great skiing and ice fishing if you're down for that. plus we got L. L. Bean's giant boot :)

[carmine relic]

GIANT BOOT LET'S GOOOO

[peak escarp]

I’m doing good, tysm! And how are you?

[carmine relic]

That must be one huge step.

[golden shadow]

yeah, i went out this morning for nuggets and chocolate milk. in 3 minutes my moustache froze to my beard.

and now i'm wondering if we'll get some nice wintery zones to explore or if there will be changing seasons? can't remember if it was mentioned or not

[carmine relic]

I feel like we'll have seasons. I think.

[golden shadow]

i hope we do. as beautiful as the art is, seeing the leaves change for fall would be a-maze-ing

[carmine relic]

Also just seeing the whole map change color... man.

[peak escarp]

That would be so lovely!

[topaz path]

as much as i hate winter i can imagine the village with a coating of snow and auni running around catching snow flakes on his nose and tau trying to catch snowballs

[peak escarp]

I would so love to see snow in the game!

Would be so awesome if we can leave footprints too!

[golden shadow]

and snow angels. gotta have snow angels

[ocean stone]

YEAH SNOW ANGELS

[peak escarp]

Oh my goodness yes! I would love to make them!

[ocean stone]

I want to make snow angels this weekend but the person I am visiting dissed the idea

So we better be able to make them in Palia!!

[toxic charm]

its the sims community mmo we never knew we needed

[golden shadow]

what's wrong with snow angels? make sure you bundle up and you should be fine. just... remember to fall backwards, not forwards

[toxic charm]

its cold

ive never made one before

a snow angel

[golden shadow]

it's a lot of fun. you really need about 6-12 inches of snow to do a good one though. too little snow and you can give your head a good hard whack

[toxic charm]

yeah dont worry, we have lots of snow here

i just dont bundle up well

and when i bundle up its hard to move around

and so i imagine myseld making a snow angel and destroying it when i try to get up

also its cold and my hair will freeze

but i like seeing people do snow angels its wholesome

[golden shadow]

there is something heart warming about watching people do that. and snowballs, snow forts, snowmen/women/animals

and it's even better if you can be inside sipping hot cocoa while watching them through a window

[toxic charm]

i thought you were saying women, snowwomen didnt register to me

"theres something heart warming about watching women"

also i love hot cocoa but milk is shared and i cant be drinking one every day

unless

you make hot cocoa with water

[ocean stone]

Right! Gotta be careful where you fall!

[toxic charm]

yes

this is by far the most wholesome server

ive ever been in

i lurk a lot and it makes me wanna be less toxic in league of legends

"ew you play league of legends" yes i play league of legends

;-;

[golden shadow]

i play whatever i have fun with. if i don't, i stop playing. MOBAs aren't my cup of tea, but if you enjoy them, i wish you luck and hope the company doesn't shut it down

[peak escarp]

You’re so sweet omg…

I agree! This is literally by far the most wholesome server that I have ever been on!

[toxic charm]

thank you, i dont see it shutting down anytime soon. what kind of games do you like to play?

[toxic charm]

it surprises me every time

like when i look for wholesome servers

its always only wholesome aethetically

i mean the people were nice

but here is just a different vibe

[peak escarp]

They can be extremely toxic. I had my fair share unfortunately.

[golden shadow]

mostly i'm into MMOs like TERA, FFXIV, and WoW (though not so much lately)

[toxic charm]

oh yeah this is literally a server for an MMO

[peak escarp]

One time I asked a question about a game and I just get straight up attacked LOL

[toxic charm]

i was gonna say i love mmo's too

[toxic charm]

tell us

i keep forgetting theres slowmode

im like why is my screen shaking

[peak escarp]

LOL

[toxic charm]

man palia is literally the server ive been praying for

[golden shadow]

yeah, i really don't like when the community is all "oh you just started 2 minutes ago and you're not an expert already? you suck"

[toxic charm]

like i have not stuck on an mmmo

mmo*

for me its the opposite, im 2 minutes in and i get all the legendary items just because im a new player

and its all action mmos

[golden shadow]

which is why when i play WoW, i keep chats turned off and just google all my questions

[toxic charm]

like ive tried mabinogi

[toxic charm]

i do that with league sometimes

[peak escarp]

I wanted to know if my animal can have babies and they straight up said is that seriously a question.

Like bruh

[toxic charm]

what game was it lol

[golden shadow]

well, duh... of course it's a question. does it look like a taco? also, it would be great if pets could have babies in games

[peak escarp]

Lol

[peak escarp]

Feral Heart UNLEASHED

[toxic charm]

that game sounds like

[peak escarp]

I straight up stopped talking in that server that day.

[toxic charm]

animals should be breeding

[peak escarp]

And never went back.

Palia is my favorite server to talk in!

[peak escarp]

I would love that in Palia!

[toxic charm]

"what are you saying that my feral heart cant be unleashed??!"

[peak escarp]

For like farm animals!

[peak escarp]

LOL

[toxic charm]

im excited for palia

[peak escarp]

Like it’s just sad how some servers are just so toxic.

[toxic charm]

league servers

[peak escarp]

You go in thinking you will have such a lovely time and then a pancake just falls on your face

[toxic charm]

i wouldnt mind that, as long as it has maple syrup

[peak escarp]

Speaking of pancakes, I would love to make them in Palia

[golden shadow]

i mean, it would be rough having to retire a mount or combat pet for a bit while it has the babies and nurses them, but knowing that you could breed faster/stronger/tougher animals or even sell/give them to other players would be fun IMO

[toxic charm]

i would like it if theres no option to put your horse in your imaginary pocket

[peak escarp]

Oh my goodness yes! I would also love the option of condensed milk (my favorite thing to put on pancakes)!

[mellow verge]

One of the more interesting things wow ever did was animal husbandry in WoD

Something like that added into Palia would be neat

[toxic charm]

um

whats animal husbandry

[mellow verge]

breeding

just sounds nicer

[peak escarp]

Breeding and caring for them!

[toxic charm]

condensed milk on toast

okay phew because i THOUGHT

[mellow verge]

it's the actual profession

[carmine relic]

Condensed milk?

[toxic charm]

that you're marrying the animals

[golden shadow]

raising, training, medicine as well for animals

no, THAT kind of "animal husbandry" is a completely different server from this one

[peak escarp]

Mhmmmm!

[mellow verge]

Lmao

[toxic charm]

feral heart

unleashed

im joking

[peak escarp]

I tots recommend condensed milk with pancakes! I would tots love to see that in Palia! It’s one of my favorite desserts

[carmine relic]

I don't know what condensed milk is

[toxic charm]

its milk but

[mellow verge]

Yeah they had you catch a young animal, brng it back to the stables, interact with it, have it folllow you? and then it grew into an adult
No actual babies, but it was a more entertaining way to get a mount other than "Here's 500gold for one"

[toxic charm]

dense

[carmine relic]

...Butter?

[toxic charm]

no

[golden shadow]

i've used condensed milk in coffe and mashed potatoes, but never on pancakes. not sure if i'd like it

[toxic charm]

its really sweet

[peak escarp]

Creamy too

[toxic charm]

like thick milk

[mellow verge]

Condensed milk is sweet with sugar in it usually, its thicc like glue?

[peak escarp]

Mhm! Lol

[carmine relic]

So it's basically a mix of butter and syrup

[golden shadow]

the dragons in pandaria were like that too

[toxic charm]

i actually dont know how its made

[mellow verge]

Oh yeah! taht one was fun too, playing games with them

[peak escarp]

Not quite sure

[toxic charm]

im so dumb

[mellow verge]

you have to boil it down to remove water content

[carmine relic]

Sucks I'm not a chemistry master

[golden shadow]

oh no, wait. that wasn't the condensed milk, that was evaporated milk. totally different taste/rexture

[mellow verge]

I dont know a lot about chemistry really, just a lot about cooking

[toxic charm]

evaporated milk

how why what where when who

[mellow verge]

its the unsweet kind of condensed milk

[toxic charm]

oh

[golden shadow]

evaporated is just milk with half the water gone. add water and you have regular milk. kinda like how powdered milk works

[toxic charm]

got it

i had a weird image in my head

someone inhaling milk vapor as it vaporises

[carmine relic]

Time to serve up some dehydrated water

[toxic charm]

yum

[mellow verge]

hahah
