I’m excited for more alpha news

[merry socket]

[wind ibex]

Auni with the speed mirages again

[remote latch]

[echo helm]

i cant wait to play the game

i would pay a pretty good sum to play it

fuck me

[remote latch]

No pay access to the game however, all you can do is sign up and cross your fingers

At least while it is in the test phases

[echo helm]

I know... I'm going to church everyday

[wind ibex]

Profane expletive, going to church every day...

[remote latch]

[cyan basin]

You should delete that before they see it, family friendly forum here

[wind ibex]

My comment on the expletive, or the person who posted it?

[cyan basin]

Cello, not you, Odd, lol, sorry, just woke up

[worthy rose]

one expletive isn't against the rules lol, this is the internet at the end of the day. As long as nobody is overdoing it and it's not directed at anyone, who the fuck cares

[remote latch]

rofl nish .. way to say that

[wind ibex]

🤦‍♂️

[cyan basin]

Your funeral, and your nastygram warning if/when it happens, just trying to keep others from making my own mistakes

[remote latch]

I am sure the mods would have done something if they were concerned .. I don't like swearing myself but I understand its almost second nature to say it nowadays :sigh:

[wind ibex]

I don't curse, and in instances of great pain or rage, I still don't curse, I expel a primal guttural growl.

[worthy rose]

there's no reason to get a warning if we're not breaking any rules 🤷‍♂️

and speaking of staying on topic, I had a great idea. Swim goggles for chapaas

[tranquil cosmos]

Weewoo weewoo palia police are comin for you

[remote latch]

do chapaa swim ?

[worthy rose]

they can if you throw them in the water

[tranquil cosmos]

Swim goggles low key scare me, they look creepy

[remote latch]

I never liked them when I had to wear them for my failed swimming lessons

[worthy rose]

hold on I don't think I communicated my thoughts clearly, lemme try to find a picture

[tranquil cosmos]

Oh lordy

[worthy rose]

that poor poor dog

[tranquil cosmos]

He's chillin

[buoyant heath]

HECKLA

[ocean stone]

Hope everyone has been doing well! I've been weighted down with a sinus infection and just over here doin my best to carry on

[tranquil cosmos]

Carry on my wayward son

[abstract rover]

"Your package is delayed. Due arrival on 2/9/22"

excuse my french but... No s**t sherlock

[wind ibex]

Cool you should get it tomorrow

[abstract rover]

yeah hopefully. although i've come to expect more delays when it comes to fedex

so i'm not gonna hold my breath

[remote latch]

🤞

At least they have admitted its delayed 🙂

[wind ibex]

I don't get many deliveries from Fedex, mainly UPS and USPS. UPS good, USPS bad.

[buoyant heath]

Gross!

[ocean stone]

my brain thought this said "excuse my french horn" 😂

[worthy rose]

USPS very good, ups bad

and I hate fedex a lot

[remote latch]

rofl .. I wonder if Auni's delivery service is ever late ? Does he get diverted to watch a human at work ? Or play with a chapaa ?

[worthy rose]

I get a lot of international packages and usps is fantastic for those, they attempt delivery once, and then I can pick them up in office the next day

[abstract rover]

yeah USPS usually doesnt disappoint

[wind ibex]

Once in Jr. High, I did an experiment. I sent a letter from my house, to my house. Same address on the destination as where it was picked up from. Had proper postage and everything, took almost 6 weeks...

[raw quarry]

Wtf, why?

[wind ibex]

For science.

[worthy rose]

I mean mail screw ups can and do happen to all carriers

usps is still by far the most consistent imo

and easily the cheapest for national mail

[raw quarry]

No I mean why could it have taken that long? I don't think a letter here would even get further from half a mile from my house.

[remote latch]

If I did that we would get it the next day the sorting office is at the bottom of the road

[wind ibex]

Post office was 2.3 miles from my house, but our mail was almost always late.

[raw quarry]

Oh you're talking couriers, I'm tired and defaulted to royal mail

[worthy rose]

I get packages from japan about 2-3 times a month usually and they typically arrive in 4-5 business days from japan to my door. It goes from EMS in japan to USPS once it clears customs

[wind ibex]

I ordered an Ice cream maker from amazon, it was coming from china, was in customs for 2 weeks. When it finally did arrive, the cooling bucket was imploded (manufacturing defect), so they sent me another one, had the same issue (though this one was only in customs for 9 days). How do your items get through customs so quickly?

[worthy rose]

it mostly depends on which location it goes through. If you get sorted to chicago customs you're almost guaranteed to wait at least a week. I dunno why they're so slow up there but it's consistently bad. If you get los angeles you're typically through in 2 maybe 3 days tops

I had an $1100 package from germany last year get stuck in chicago customs for 3 weeks and I was SWEATING lmao

[remote latch]

that explains csr's problem then . maybe its the area .. surely the windy city would have things easier with the wind helping them along

[worthy rose]

sometimes you can get really really lucky and be through chicago in 3-4 days but if I see it land there I just add on at least 5 to be safe

this is one of my shipments from the beginning of january
https://i.imgur.com/Hk5TXQk.png

[wind ibex]

Mine either go through Nashville or Atlanta.

[worthy rose]

I'm also in texas so it has to travel from chicago or LA to the south

[raw quarry]

Dude I am so bloody tired O thought that took 5 months not 5 days, I'm gonna go play FFXIV, hope you better luck with your parcels tho

[worthy rose]

lmao, one time I shipped someone in the netherlands a package via usps with no tracking per their request to keep it cheeper and it took a littler over 2 months to arrive and I was so scared that they were going to think I was a scammer

Good night yall!

[livid rock]

How's Palia doing?
I'm really interested in playing this game!

[remote latch]

It's getting there. Have you been here before or just joined the server ?

[livid rock]

I joined a long time ago just been watching didn't hear much during the holidays. ;)
BTW happy new year . I'm excited to see more Palin!:]

Palia* sorry auto correct

[remote latch]

Well, you might have seen the messages regarding close alpha coming up in the first half of this year .. I'm sure the devs are working towards that at the moment .. and gathering stuff they can release to us over the next few months

[raw quarry]

Just pictured two Chuus eating the same stolen sausage, but their mouths meeting like Lady and the Tramp

[livid rock]

Oh boy!!!! So excited.!

[remote latch]

sounds like a picture just waiting to be created

Also Kapcon, there may have been some new posts in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha ( updated last week I think ) and #🌠│official-art ( a few posts since the new year )

[warm plover]

....what are you ordering so often???

nish's secret hatsune miku figure collection will be discovered

[worthy rose]

Pokemon cards mostly

[warm plover]

do you have the chonky pikachu

[buoyant heath]

All pikachus are chonky

stay woke

[worthy rose]

I do not, I'm not a big fan of pika :P

[warm plover]

fair
its the only pokemon card i know

hes just like regular pikachu but i think it was really early artwork before they settled on the mascot design of current day pikachu
so hes an absolute unit

[worthy rose]

LOL I gotta show you some of the early coins I'd you've never seen them, he looks like a barrel

[warm plover]

w i d e

[raw quarry]

I want the Ancient Mew that released with the original Pokemon movie, or a shiny Charizard

[remote latch]

From your sponsors at The Wildlife of Kilima Magazine comes a new vacation spot coming soon to those lucky enough to win a spot on the next trip out there. Whether you are an animal lover or hunter there is plenty for you to see. Here is a picture provided by a previous vacationer at least years chance : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/850062378926473227/938595652957515896/Palia_Rainbow_1920_x_1080_Desktop_Wallpaper.png

[wispy meadow]

I want a house on that cliff overlooking the entire open green fields

[ocean stone]

I appreciate that rin, much like myself, immediately goes for the important questions like

[warm plover]

i have my priorities

its like me trying to relate to people with things i know almost nothing about so i try to send them memes i saw
it works all the time about 20% of the time

[ocean stone]

[soft bay]

Popping in for a quick hello. Been very absent from here lately. But I do lurk quite a lot. Hello Palia Fam.

[remote latch]

Just make sure you check the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and #🌠│official-art channels when you do and you won't miss too much 🙂

[soft bay]

Thanks Xrystal!

[remote latch]

but pssst Alpha soon ( first half of this year) .. just in case you didn't know

[soft bay]

I did! Can't wait to get back into the world of Palia.

Feels like it's been forever.

[remote latch]

Along with a gazillion others ( the Palian term for too many to number )

[wintry jolt]

I would wish for 2 years to pass faster so I could play release but that would aslo mean my daughter would be 5 and I'm not sure I'm ready for that

[soft bay]

I have an almost 8 year old daughter. I just know for a fact that she is gonna want to play with me and I cannot wait. I think Palia will be a perfect introduction into the MMO space without the need for her worry so much about the combat aspect like it would be in WoW or FFXIV

[remote latch]

Yeah it will be a good intro to MMOs for older family members too .. mum tried wow once .. she was killed by a creature while admiring the world

[soft bay]

awww! I feel her pain. Azeroth is a beautiful world and sometimes you just wanna look at it without the fear of being aggroed

[remote latch]

She has her settlers online at the moment with settlers coming out in March .. that will keep us busy game wise until Palia comes out

looks at time ... hmm methinks I better get some sleep rofl

[midnight oak]

Sleep tight

[waxen bluff]

Thanks @brave thorn for answering my question a few weeks ago. Sorry I havent been around lol

[brave thorn]

No problem! I am glad to have helped.

[raw quarry]

Wow, remembering for a few weeks that you wanted to say thanks to somebody, now that's manners!

[warm plover]

not yet, probably not for a while

[spring rivet]

Palutations!

[carmine relic]

Duckie!

[fallen summit]

Happy timezones everyone!

[drowsy minnow]

Merry time of day!

[celest maple]

Does anybody know if Palia is going to be free?

[fallen summit]

nope, we still don't know. The team's not yet ready to talk about monetization

[celest maple]

Alright, thanks!

That was future Neyo

Well, it is not time yet.

what the

Hi

yo

i have question, will be the housing be instantiated ?

How Archeage does housing, I find it better. Tho, instanced works 2.
Private islands are another idea.
Where can I find more info about this game. 50 people working on it, elites from 3 major companies. Yet I am blind and can't find detailed info.

[wispy meadow]

Merry Palismas

Paliamass

Paliamas*
The autocorrect hates me

[surreal crest]

Singularity 6 page (If I spelled the name right lol)

Most if not all info is posted here on Discord

[remote latch]

Pinned Documents in channel - Vlad's has a compiled list of Q&A from #❓│old-team-answers-pre-alpha channel from June last year - Rin's has some useful all round information from here and on twitter ( I believe ) - Most recent dev posts are in #❔│game-faqs , #❓│old-team-answers-alpha (monthly updates ) and #🌠│official-art ( weekly updates ).

[celest maple]

Ok. Ty for the help. This game gives a nice vibe so it caught my interest.

[remote latch]

If you don't see something you want to know, feel free to ask away and if the info is here we can hook it out 🙂

[wispy meadow]

@celest maple
I want to adopt your pfp

It's too adorable

[celest maple]

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-pat-cute-pet-gif-17472506

my sub expired. its actually a gif. and my banner was this ^

ty @wispy meadow. Ever since I had a pseudodragon familiar in D&D I simply am hooked up on tiny dragons and always dream of giving one a head pat

[remote latch]

I see Amelia sneaked a server update in yesterday. Changed some channel group names and changed server suggestions to server thoughts

[wispy meadow]

Tiny dragons and chapaas and kitsuus all deserve headpats

[heavy dew]

Agreed

[wispy meadow]

Also the gruppies

[echo helm]

how many species of ducks are in the game right now?

[remote latch]

only Officer Quackie McQuackers Seriously we haven't been told about any bird like species in the game yet but visuals have flocks of birds flying over but that could be just aesthetics

[echo helm]

...

No ducks?

[remote latch]

No idea .. but then we have only been given a minute of info on animals at the moment so who knows

But the only detailed creature is the chapaa and that is comprised of 4 earth animals

There are chickens in a festival concept picture and we know we have eggs ( from the ramen image ) so, there are egg laying birds of some sort, whether chickens or Palian versions we won't know until we are told about them

[echo helm]

Imma be real with you. I need ducks in this game, they are just too cute. I will literally redesign the chickens with custom textures if they don't include them.

[remote latch]

rofl .. lets see if it has been suggested yet and you can thumbs up it

Here's one - #game-suggestions message

[echo helm]

I upvoted every single duck suggestion

[remote latch]

We're supposed to have some sort of critter reveal soon (likely closer to alpha) so hopefully you'll get a better idea then

[echo helm]

I am checking the trailers rn

if there is a hidden one

[remote latch]

Just the one .. in #📢│palia-news

There's a 12 second glider clip in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha and a fly over in #🌠│official-art

[echo helm]

yk the speech really reminds me of mages of mystralia

[remote latch]

They may have been inspired by it .. but not seen mention of that game when asked about inspirations .. the devs play a variety of games so there may be a mishmash of game elements that are familiar to various games.

[echo helm]

because im pretty sure that certain line she says to einar is like 90% taken from mages of mystralia

[remote latch]

ah that one reminded me of simlish like talk .. like she said yoohoo or something similar

[remote latch]

Ah unlikely to be sourced from that game .. this game has been in development since 2018 - only reference to the game are your posts and the game itself in #🎮│other-games

hi Cinna

Hey Quackie .. is that one of your relatives in #🐾│pet-pics ?

[spring rivet]

we all look the same LOL

[remote latch]

rofl

[buoyant heath]

I may be late, but I appreciate the aesthetic upgrades we've gotten around here in our channel listing.

[sullen bison]

Oooo things look different!

[remote latch]

Yeah it makes the groups look more clearer and less wordy 🙂

They happened sometime yesterday

I spotted it this morning myself rofl

[buoyant heath]

Amelia sprucing things up for us.

[sullen bison]

(I wish all the group titles were the same width as each other though, it's making my brain scream lol)

[remote latch]

OCD alert ?

[sullen bison]

Maybe a little hehe but just aesthetically it's more pleasing

[remote latch]

I didn't realise I had OCD until my parents move my stuff from the small room to the smaller room while I was in the States .. came back to find my books were out of order and went crazy rofl ..

[native pumice]

i was just reading the game suggestions and was wondering if animals are known to be tameable yet?

[remote latch]

Not yet no .. still in the possible column based on the devs interest in it

[celest maple]

i forgot to wipe after pooping

[remote latch]

fortunately in Palia that won't be a problem ..

[sullen bison]

Ahh nods but at least an easy fix :)

[remote latch]

yeah, and now my little brother plays on it and messes up the magnetic markers on the fridge .. just to make me go crazy rofl

[sullen bison]

Oh no lol

[cunning mural]

it is wednesday my dudes

[remote latch]

I overplay it a bit but it does annoy me a little bit .. >> is that better for you now post removal bot .. ah I see what it thought was bad rofl <<

[cunning mural]

insert frog emote below

i guess that counts as a frog

[remote latch]

wallpaper wednesday wohoo

[remote latch]

better ?

[cunning mural]

that frog looks kinda weird

[remote latch]

unfortunately the only one I have access to 🙂

[cunning mural]

yea

thats why i didnt use it either

[sullen bison]

Post removal bot?

[remote latch]

Yeah one of the bots identifies certain words and removes the post if it looks like you typed something like it .. one of my words I used starts with the same 4 letters so confused it

[burnt elm]

[buoyant heath]

🥐

[sullen bison]

Ohhh!

[remote latch]

about the third time it's done it and for the same word confusion .. why oh why does the English language have several words almost spelt the same with one being used bad enough that it stops the others being used rofl

[burnt elm]

:o I forgot it’s wallpaper Wednesday

[remote latch]

I wonder which image she grabs from the video today

[burnt elm]

whatever it is I’m sure it’ll be great and an instant change to my lockscreen

[sullen bison]

Oohh yeah wallpaper Wednesday!

[remote latch]

I like the landscape ones so hopefully we will eventually have a collection of those so my desktop can have a switching collection like I did with the Planet Zoo images

[sullen bison]

That's a fun idea :)

[burnt elm]

I agree with you there, the landscapes are always so pretty and I love looking at any flora/fauna

[echo helm]

so they randomly have the same line?

[remote latch]

it just sounds like she says yoo hoo .. like I said, I would be more inclined that they took the idea from the sims with their simlish speak .. it sounds similar to that. But, only the devs will know for sure.

There is a slight chance that someone started playing the game when it first came out when they made the announcement video and added the sound clip ... or it could be a coincidence that they said something generic and it sounds the same.

I haven't played the game so I won't say it definitely isn't 🙂

[echo helm]

am trying to find

a video where it is included

OK, i found a soundcloud compilation of her voices. She say ahoo in the same fucking voice

But i think it's more likely to be a coincidence, but still funny

[celest maple]

can't wait to pvp in palia

and see what the rated arenas look like

or battlegrounds

[remote latch]

That will be a likely long wait methinks

[wind ibex]

I can't tell if they are serious or not...

[echo helm]

Duck arena?

[remote latch]

yeah hard to say

maybe its a nish clone ? it's the kind of think nish would do

[abstract rover]

cant wait to get nuked by gandhi in palia

[buoyant heath]

You can't?

[remote latch]

Well some people do expect violence and mayhem in Palia for some strange reason

Oh its an mmo .. so when can I do raids

[wind ibex]

There are people who are just expecting Palia to be WoW with housing, instead of Stardew Valley with friends.

[abstract rover]

u telling me i cant commit war crimes in palia?

ugh what is this game, booooo

[remote latch]

🤣

[ocean stone]

only chapaas can

[wind ibex]

Caesar, you would have loved Wildstar, the Chua committed war crimes daily.

[remote latch]

and woah .. but I am sure his war crimes involve the enigma machine

[abstract rover]

good mens

i have done like nothing today lmao

so sleepy

[remote latch]

so sllllleeeep .. oh are you at work ?

[abstract rover]

ye

[wind ibex]

Can someone please define the phrase "good mens" for me?

[remote latch]

and its still freezing ?

[abstract rover]

not rly

[abstract rover]

exactly what it sounds like

i was responding to ur wildstar message

[wind ibex]

It sounds like an incomplete sentence that is unable to convey its message.

[abstract rover]

i mean if thats how u choose to interpret it

[remote latch]

maybe its some sort of 1337 speak I haven't figured out yet

[wind ibex]

I don't "choose" how I interpret things, it just happens. Thus me asking for clarification on the intended meaning.

[ocean stone]

Are you calling the chua good mens

[abstract rover]

i was saying the chua are good mens yk

cuz of the joke

[buoyant heath]

This half of the conversation is very confusing

[remote latch]

rofl

[ocean stone]

Which half of 'this'

How did you proportionally split it in half

[remote latch]

so you were saying this men and added the s to confuse us ?

[abstract rover]

maybe

[wind ibex]

I guess my confusion came from the fact that men, is already plural, so the extra s threw me off.

[remote latch]

rofl

[abstract rover]

lol its one of those intentional typo gags

[lost tiger]

what i miss

[buoyant heath]

Hey @remote latch, want to solve a riddle?

[remote latch]

csr driving me and oddball crazy 🙂

[remote latch]

ooh yes puzzle 🙂

[abstract rover]

good, im doing my job well then

[buoyant heath]

Which weighs more - a gallon of water or a gallon of butane?

[remote latch]

duh .. the same but the butane will be above the ground while water will be on or below the ground 🙂

[ocean stone]

What is the square root of weight?

[wind ibex]

Is the Butane compressed?

[buoyant heath]

The water weighs more. Butane is a lighter fluid.

[abstract rover]

What is the circle root of banana

[buoyant heath]

[remote latch]

ah I feel better with the lighter part .. just realised it was liquid measurement and not weight measurement rofl

[spring rivet]

I say love

Love is always the answer

[buoyant heath]

Sorry ducks

[spring rivet]

Love is never wrong

[remote latch]

psst its next monday Quackie 🙂 remember that .. next monday 🙂

[abstract rover]

except for when it isnt. u cant solve 1 + 1 by saying "love"

[wind ibex]

💥

[spring rivet]

Yes I can

[abstract rover]

if youre a tennis player sure

[wind ibex]

Isn't marriage when 1+1=love?

[remote latch]

1 love + 1 love = 2 gether

hmm does that mean the plural of love is gether ?

[ocean stone]

no not marriage but k-i-s-s-i-n-g in a tree

This whole conversation got me like

[spring rivet]

Somebody please release the game already

[ocean stone]

I hope the math in palia is easier

[remote latch]

So .. bringing this conversation back to Palia .... rofl ... I am guessing there will be at least one person growing flowers in the hopes that some of the npcs will want a flower of some sort to boost their romance options

[spring rivet]

We're exhausting crazy topics here now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[remote latch]

hahaha

[abstract rover]

i hope the englishing in the palia is easierer

[spring rivet]

Why wont someone release the game lol

[remote latch]

** digs around in brain for crazy topics ** .... so .. what if there were fast travelling by ... drum roll ... cloud

[buoyant heath]

Yeah, this place has just turned into chaos

[ocean stone]

always has been

[abstract rover]

chaos is my specialty

[glad egret]

pls my brain is about to rot

[remote latch]

🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪

[glad egret]

cookie to lessen the brain rot

[wind ibex]

I hope my plot in Palia is large enough to farm at least 1 of every single farmable plant/tree.

[spring rivet]

CSR means Chaos, the S and R was misplaced somewhere

[wind ibex]

ChaoSeR

[abstract rover]

my brian has rotated tomorrow

[spring rivet]

No cookie for you

[buoyant heath]

1 + 1 = chaos

[glad egret]

:[

[remote latch]

🥭 🥭 🥭 🥭 🥭 🥭 for Quackie and 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 🍪 for Daphne

[glad egret]

thats some really good math right there

[buoyant heath]

I learned quick maths from a youtube video about puffy coats

[wind ibex]

Chaos, Cold, and Darkness are actually all the same thing, Absence. Chaos is the Absence of Order. Cold is the Absence of Heat. Darkness is the Absence of Light.

Not actual things themselves, just the Absence of others.

[ocean stone]

That is just a description of things as a binary.

[remote latch]

I wonder if we will get some extra love on Monday .. more info from Amelia maybe .. some good news .. maybe some announcement .. or am I just clutching at straws that because we love Palia so much that on Monday it would be appropriate to post something extra about it ?

[ocean stone]

OH EXTRA LOVE FOR VALENTINES DAY?! I hope so.

[wind ibex]

35 years old, and have never had a Valentine.

[buoyant heath]

Hate is just the absence of mangoes

[spring rivet]

<< this duck is accepting mango love in Valentines

[remote latch]

poor poor oddball .. you need to time your dating to overlap valentines day .. duh

[spring rivet]

hope all gets valentines ❤️

[wind ibex]

Only ever had 1 gf, and the time period fell over the holidays many years back.

[remote latch]

If we're talking valentine gifts .. I've had 1 .. and I'm 50 .. and that was likely because we were long distancing it well 1 x the number of years we weren't acting as if married rofl ... so 1 x 5 out of the 8 years we were together while apart

[wind ibex]

Not talking gifts, just having a special someone during this time of year.

[remote latch]

Ah .. in that case .. probably 2 .. the other 2 didn't last a year

Anyway .. wonder if we can make loveheart sweets in Palia so we get to give out ones with appropriate messages to our friends etc

[frigid temple]

ww = wallpaper wednesday

[abstract rover]

having a special someone would be cool

maybe id be a less bitter person

[buoyant heath]

I should find a Valentine

[remote latch]

don't you have one already ?

[buoyant heath]

I don't know. I haven't asked.

[remote latch]

then ask you numpty

[tranquil cosmos]

The answer is yes

[buoyant heath]

Thank you, Oots

[tranquil cosmos]

Any time

[remote latch]

What timing .. just checked my email and got my regular international star registry email about naming a star for someone special .. did that almost 20 years ago .. rofl

[buoyant heath]

I don't mean to make you "second choice", but I'm happy to have you as a fallback in case Jel says no

[tranquil cosmos]

Well, one of us has to be his first

[ocean stone]

ahem I have a different recollection of events

[ocean stone]

I'm glad your memory has finally gelled

🥁

[carmine relic]

Gonna make em so Jel-ous

[buoyant heath]

This feels like payback

[remote latch]

I think your Valentine bill will be pretty expensive this year

[buoyant heath]

Cinna isn't visiting against until after Valentine's Day so I think I'm safe

[carmine relic]

Dang, I forgot Valentine's is coming up

[merry socket]

I want my Amelia

[viral quarry]

[remote latch]

less than 2 and a half years is the estimate at the moment with closed alpha coming up hopefully by July at the latest .. 🤞

what does S6 mean?

[wind ibex]

Singularity 6

[remote latch]

S6 is Singularity 6 the company behind the game

[wind ibex]

Palia. It's a Magical Place.

Should I go full Coulson, and spout that line every time someone asks about Palia by name?

[remote latch]

I didn't even realise until you mentioned it but yeah I remember the phrase now

[wind ibex]

And now I want to make a D&D character based off of Dr. Whitehall.

Discovery requires experimentation.

[remote latch]

Ode to Palia
Palia, It's a Magical Place
A place for not worrying
For the whole of your stay
Love and friendship, cooperation and community
Are here forever
And those other things
Like violence and mayhem can go .. nay stay .. away

[lost tiger]

Agent Coulson was great

[wind ibex]

I loved the call back to his "blue soap" comment from the framework in Wandavision.

[lost tiger]

LUL ya

[abstract rover]

i am incredibly exhausted rn. but is lunch time

[fallen elbow]

Maybe I just want to live my best trash cat raccoon fox dog life in a friendly, non harming(trash doesn't count) way. 😂

[wind ibex]

I think you mean, Raccoon/Boar/Beaver.

[fallen elbow]

I did not chuuse the chapaa, the chapaa chuuse me. 😂

I just had the idea of a crumpy old chapaa just crumpily mumblin about people not separating their trash or wasting too much.

While digging through said trash. 😂

[remote latch]

grumbles I don't know .. this is where the food waste should be .. not the paper waste .. that should be in the green bin grumbles people nowadays are just plain lazy

[lost tiger]

i woke up 1am last night, decided to watch anime on crunchyroll and i regret because im starting to pass out. i wanna play palia already LOL

well actually theres like 3-5 games im waiting to be released on my wishlist i REALLY REALLY want

[remote latch]

I'm just waiting for Palia and Settlers .. settlers is coming March and will likely grab my long term interest up till Palia release 🙂 and then there are the ooh that game looks good on my wishlist for when prices go down ..

[carmine relic]

Ugh... dumb "all natural environmentally friendly non GMO food boxes... back in my day we ate what we could get."

[remote latch]

what this isn't chicken ? It looks like it :sigh:

[raw quarry]

There are actually only 3 games in existence.
Palia
Elden Ring
Not Palia or Elden Ring

And the first two aren't out so we're about buggered atm

[abstract rover]

what is a relden bring

palia is the only game

[summer obsidian]

Greetings friends! How is everyone today?

[remote latch]

Overflow !!!

[summer obsidian]

The server channels look different, but I can't place what changed (other than social now being twitter feed)

[remote latch]

server-thoughts instead of server-suggestions .. game-suggestions instead of suggestions-and-feedback and the titles have been adjusted slightly

[wind ibex]

Channel types now have ---- on them

[summer obsidian]

gotcha, probably was changed a while ago. I haven't dropped in here as much as I should

[wind ibex]

I think it changed last night

[summer obsidian]

oh, then nvm...glad to notice it 😛 Anything new in here other than "When is Palia coming out" and "Is Palia going to be Free to Play?" questions?

[wind ibex]

It's a Magical Place

[remote latch]

Rofl

[summer obsidian]

I keep seeing more and more team members, so the Palia team is growing so fast! ❤️

[remote latch]

Yeah is there gonna be dungeons and animals :). Seriously we had a crazy day today

[raw quarry]

Wtf, this gave me the Tors R Us advert from the 90s flashback, how is that possible?

[summer obsidian]

omg, going into Toys R Us as a child in the 90s it did feel like you'd walked into Disneyland or something

(probably how I will feel when I walk into Zeki's shop)

[abstract rover]

Wen to the Plaia releesing?

[remote latch]

Never !!!!

[cloud horizon]

KB Toys....'nuff said

[summer obsidian]

Ewww, not compared to Toys R Us!!

[cloud horizon]

Their video game selection was better

[summer obsidian]

By the time I was playing video games, Blockbuster was my jam 😛 (now I really sound old)

[remote latch]

Now now boys .. I haven’t been to any of them - you’re giving me bad impressions - not that I’ll ever go in any of them rofl

[cloud horizon]

Also, @remote latch can you DM me a link to this Settlers game you've mentioned?

[remote latch]

I thought I put it in other games but I’ll post it again there

[cloud horizon]

We had West Coast Video before Blockbuster. I could only imagine renting a Palia CD to play the game for 3 nights.

[plain hound]

heeeyyy it's been a while since I actually gave some attention to my discord...so what happening you beautiful community

[summer obsidian]

Bonjour mon ami! Hello my friend! So glad to see you!! Nothing new here, just passing the days/weeks waiting for Palia Alpha 😄

[remote latch]

When were you last here capa?

[wind ibex]

Looks like they said hi a few times, but hasn't really been active since early Dec

[remote latch]

Ah then they might have known about alpha but missed a few team answers and official art posts 🙂

[abstract rover]

:OOOOOOOO HOW DARETH YE

[west otter]

No wallpaper today ?

[burnt elm]

It’ll probably be in a little bit!

[remote latch]

Could be as late as 2-3 hours time. They're west coast so still early for them

Yeah the last one was 1am UK time which is about 5 hours away - it all depends on what the work schedule is like 🙂 meetings and all

or it could be now

[brave thorn]

Looks like we are going fishing kids!

[summer obsidian]

I love that scene with Einar, super cozy!

[wet ether]

Willow trees

[tranquil cosmos]

I love those trees so much

[west otter]

It's always worth the wait

[ornate ocean]

Damn, I missed the ChapaaChog Day post

[remote latch]

yaay My Planet Zoo shuffle wallpaper has been replaced .. just need to add some more to the mix

[pallid igloo]

I do want to apologize for being a little more MIA in chat lately, but I think it will all pay off soon!

Hi, everyone! 💜

[ornate ocean]

Hey Amelia! No worries, stuff happens!

[pallid igloo]

All good stuff, in this case
How have you all been?

[cinder temple]

Overcaffeinated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pallid igloo]

My favorite state of being!

[remote latch]

Amelia in Chat !!!

[summer obsidian]

We all have needed a small break...doesn't mean the excitement is not still brimming to the top! 😄

[ornate ocean]

I'm pretty good! Had my little birthday celebration yesterday, will have something more substantial on the weekend

[pallid igloo]

I like to think of it as "the eye of the storm"! ⛈️

Oh my gosh, happy belated birthday!!

[cinder temple]

As it's the year of the tiger, isn't it technically the eye of the tiger?

[pallid igloo]

MESSAGE APPROVED. It's the eye of the tiger, the thrill of the fight.

[ornate ocean]

the eye of the storm of the tiger

[pallid igloo]

perfection

[cinder temple]

The eye of the tiger storm. Stay inside, everyone.

[pallid igloo]

Anyhow I wanted to stop in and say "hi" - I'll be in chat more in the coming weeks, so hope to see you all soon!

https://tenor.com/view/dance-kid-club-gif-9152583

[summer obsidian]

good to see you Amelia 😄

[ornate ocean]

less amelia means more game work, we're winning either way

[wet ether]

Please continue on in, no need to stop!

[patent dust]

if alpha is sooner than we think, dont start it till march :v ill be in florida at the end of the month and dont wanna miss it

[remote latch]

[chilly crater]

I was too late for Amelia

sadge

[cinder temple]

Amelia ia always watching. 👀

I'd say Whoa, too, is also watching, but apparently he sleeps sometimes.

[patent dust]

i dont believe it

[remote latch]

Or maybe he's working on his next time waster puzzle

[midnight oak]

Hiiiii Amelia!

[patent dust]

whoa is absolutely the type to create a long complicated puzzle for people to solve but the end is just nothing at all

[summer obsidian]

Although very rarely, I believe Whoa once said he does polyphasic sleep...so, he's pretty much always here

[remote latch]

yep I've seen him playing games early morning MY time well maybe mid morning .. as I am going to bed

[midnight oak]

Beware, Xrystal sleeps lightly with their phone beside them

[remote latch]

Yep 🙂

[cinder temple]

Xrystal patches every morning with the data from the previous session.

[worthy rose]

I already miss amelia

[remote latch]

niiiiish

[midnight oak]

I'd like to edit any entries related to Heartlilies, please. Something like "Vexy offers monies and barter for all of 'em"

[carmine relic]

[worthy rose]

[cinder temple]

Nishtopher Robin, so good to see you.

Oh my goodness each new art piece is even better than the last! Palia pings are my favorite thing to wake up to 😍

[olive ether]

Is there a release date?

[remote latch]

Closed Alpha is coming up soon though .. expected in the first half of this year. There is a rough estimate of less than 2 and a half years for release and a more comfortable estimation of 4-5 test phases before its ready for everyone.

While I can't give any specific dates, I can assure you that we are much closer than 3 years from launch.```
The same dev then added the following when the question was asked again 
```[S6] WhoaNonstop — 10/29/2021 Less than 2 years and 7 months```
And .. ready for everyone could mean open beta or release 
```[S6] AmeliaMarz — 01/26/2022
We are still in our early testing phases, so for now we're most comfortable saying "Alpha is in first half of 2022". After each testing phase we asses how well-developed/ready it is for launch  We're looking at about 4-5 testing phases before it's ready for "EEEVERRYOOONNNE!" ```

Xrystal | Wikibot [PNN] — heute um 19:22 Uhr

what this isn't chicken ? It looks like it :sigh:

Gambit | (Greg) — heute um 19:19 Uhr

Ugh... dumb "all natural environmentally friendly non GMO food boxes... back in my day we ate what we could get."

My thoughts exactly.

[remote latch]

For those not aware .. those hilarious comments are our imagining of what a chapaa may do while rifling through bins nowadays

[wind ibex]

Noted, English is not Droid's primary language.

Still more proficient at English than most people.

[fallen elbow]

It isn't?
Oh noes, me has been found out. >_>

[wind ibex]

The "Gambit | (Greg) — heute um 19:19 Uhr" gave it away.

[fallen elbow]

I own that and let it stay. 😄

[fallen elbow]

I still love crumpy old grandpa chapaa chuuing on the good trash.
I imagine him leaving the trash cans more clean than they were before...
Why? Because he may be old but he's no savage.

[wind ibex]

Kids these days have no respect for other people's property.

[fallen elbow]

He says, while digging through other people's trash, yeah.

[wind ibex]

"Some may call this trash, me, I call it treasure."

[fallen elbow]

One mans trash is another one's diner.

[sly mirage]

"Some may call me trash, but you, I call you treasure"

[fallen elbow]

That's kinda cheesy... like that leftover pizza piece nom

[remote latch]

[sly mirage]

leftover pizza is treasure too

[daring wadi]

The official Palia wallpapers are just *chefs kiss *! love them

[woeful spear]

Oh no..........

[worthy rose]

PrtScn was pressed many times during testing I assure you 😩

[buoyant heath]

HECKIN EINAR FISHING OVER THERE

[wind ibex]

[abstract rover]

So, my package finally arrived today lol. At least it wasn't delayed by another week

[remote latch]

woot yaay party time

[abstract rover]

indeed

[buoyant heath]

The cute lines went away on the channel names

[remote latch]

There were issues 🙂

[buoyant heath]

I saw :C

[wind ibex]

I like the added sub channels

[remote latch]

I saw 😛

[wind ibex]

Already made my post in the #📞│missed-connections area

[carmine relic]

Wait since when did we get all these new channels

[remote latch]

today 🙂

you blinked

[sharp obsidian]

what could it all mean?!

[remote latch]

It means .. less off topic discussion in Palia-Chat ..... hopefully 🤞

[carmine relic]

Ok, so, anyway, did any of y'all ever play Terraria

[sharp obsidian]

Yes

[carmine relic]

Whoa!

[remote latch]

Whoa ... its Whoa !!!

[vernal moon]

hiya

Just found out about the game. It looks cute and looks like a decent change of pace.

[wind ibex]

Welcome

[stiff fractal]

Henlo~

[next kettle]

Hello hello

[remote latch]

Welcome to the server. If you want to catch up to what we know at your own pace we have 2 pinned documents on this channel. One has a bunch of questions and answers from June last year and the other is an overview of what we have on here and on twitter. Anything recent from the devs are posted in #🌠│official-art ( weekly concept and screenshots ) and #❓│old-team-answers-alpha ( monthly answers to questions we ask in #851872239435644928 when it is open ) and #❔│game-faqs for some of those common questions.

[stiff fractal]

I have a very serious question.

Do chaapas jump?

[remote latch]

yes .. the video shows them jumping over a fence

[stiff fractal]

Jumpers like cattos?

I'm not saying they're cats at all. That would be a insult to chapaas

[remote latch]

hard to say .. they were inspired by several animals, cats were not amongst the list

[stiff fractal]

Ooh, any idea where I might find that list? I'm curious

[remote latch]

https://twitter.com/playPalia/status/1403026673298067465

[stiff fractal]

Melting my heart rn

[remote latch]

Berry !!!

[heavy dew]

Chapaas are objectively and factually the best part of everything

[stiff fractal]

Wait

[remote latch]

Berry look ... new stuff

[stiff fractal]

Chuu could be the deity of chapaas 👀

[wind ibex]

Then there are Kitsuu.

[stiff fractal]

Or however it goes along with the lore-- what. Are the devs trying to kill with cuteness?

[remote latch]

We don't know much about the other animals in the emotes .. hopefully soon

[heavy dew]

They’re the chuusen ones

[remote latch]

Berry .. channels ... and ... wallpaper wednesday

[heavy dew]

I saw! Just now!

[remote latch]

oooh and ... there is an Amelia post you might want to see

[heavy dew]

The wallpaper one? Or server update one? Or third option?

[remote latch]

no 3 - #💬│palia-discussions message and then read around that area

[heavy dew]

It’s the, eye of the tiger it’s the Thrill of the hunt!
NO HUNTING CHAPAA!

Sorry, idk where that came from

[remote latch]

rofl

[heavy dew]

Exciting times to come!

[wind ibex]

💥 🥓

[stiff fractal]

Must have a major law declaring chapaas to be just as protected as anyone else. No hurty them.

The chapaa protectors will ensure no harm, non-violently of course (jk, just thinking of random ideas top off my head)

[heavy dew]

My chapaa sanctuary will be very real

Been advocating the illegal nature of chapaa hunting for months!

[wind ibex]

They are part beaver and part boar, you can get pelts and bacon from the same animal, how could I not hunt it?

[summer obsidian]

I wanna come spend time in the chapaa petting zoo portion of your sanctuary

[heavy dew]

I look forward to the petting of chapaas too!

[remote latch]

And there we have it .. all new channels broken in nicely

[stiff fractal]

:clutchingpearls: oh don't you even start

[lyric bolt]

i’m not sure if its ever been asked before so i’m sorry if it has, but is there a plan for Palia to release on consoles?

[remote latch]

Eventually all going well definitely a plan but will be released on pc first

Mobile is highest priority though - at least back in June

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.```

[stark wasp]

Do they say an estimate time of release for the PC platform?

[cyan basin]

Hoping for 2023? (waits for Xrystal to confirm)

[remote latch]

Less than 2 and a half years based on one of the dev posts back in June and a few times since but they feel more comfortable with closed alpha soon with about 4-5 test phases before it’s ready for everyone

[cyan basin]

bah, I'm overly optimistic, 2024 more likely. sigh

[remote latch]

Wishful thinking - overly optimistic

[stark wasp]

I'm fuckin old when it gets released... But it will be worth it

[remote latch]

Here’s a link to a post containing the devs comments themselves - #💬│palia-discussions message

[remote latch]

Rofl my mums 70 she’s hoping she’s still alive rofl

[cyan basin]

I was laughing too hard to type. We have people of all ages here, from 13 to... I think 78 is the oldest I have seen. So nice to not be the oldest for a change.

[lofty mulch]

This is like the one place that doesn't make me feel old. For reference, I am not objectively old but I feel old a lot.

[remote latch]

But I do think the average age here is about mid 30s .. so I still feel old rofl

[sly mirage]

30 is the new 20

[stark wasp]

I am sure she will see this game get released...

[sly mirage]

if it makes yall feel better i've been waiting 10 years for star citizen

[stark wasp]

Lmao... I'm not even that old but I feel old because of college

[remote latch]

🤞 depends on her health hopefully that will weather on long enough

[remote latch]

Aww a baby 🙂

[stark wasp]

Dang... What a dedication

[stark wasp]

Who u callin' a baby?? 🥺

[remote latch]

There are quite a few here in college so you have plenty of people to share your pain with

[remote latch]

Well I’m 50 anyone under 35 would practically be a baby 🙂 no insult intended 🙂

[cyan basin]

Anyone under 35 would be my baby, my oldest is 36, lol.

[stark wasp]

Nah I was just joking... Its fine with me as I want to be a baby again... Stress free!

[remote latch]

Whew 🙂

[stark wasp]

But... Gotta keep moving forward... Until I get to my goals I guess 😆

[lofty mulch]

Stop listing numbers that start with a number greater than 3 as ages, you're scaring me /j

[remote latch]

I have an added advantage.. I have no kids .. so age makes me feel old but lack of that responsibility helped keep me young rofl

[carmine relic]

Man. The Palia announcement trailer really is 8 months old

[brave thorn]

So is the cheese in my fridge... 🧀

[carmine relic]

You should get new cheese

[wind ibex]

Cheese gets better with age...

[uneven pebble]

Not all cheese

[cinder temple]

It's true; Badruu's dad jokes are served stale and only get worse with every repetition.

[tropic mulch]

Hi chat

https://tenor.com/view/youtube-twitch-meme-chair-office-gif-19928140

[woven reef]

Nice to know at 35, I’m not considered a baby lol

[cerulean quail]

dang i ranted in the intro page.. I was hoping to be the oldest one here like usual but wow. Much respect

didnt realize when i scrolled up everyone limited themselves from 1-5 sentences

upon waking up and my random mind abused the post word limit lololol

[cinder temple]

Axolotl words, friend. 😏 Welcome.

[cerulean quail]

omg a person with Axolotl culture, blessed be the axolotl god

oh dang i didnt realize i did a thing Xolotl IS A GOD that's where the axolotl was named from

[cinder temple]

I'm a simple Discord user; I see an axolotl and the part of my brain responsible for puns activates.

[cerulean quail]

yus

[cinder temple]

Where'd you hear about Palia?

[cyan basin]

chirpily cheerful On the internet, Sim! That's where I heard about it!

[cinder temple]

Listen here, you.

I adore you, or else. >:(

[cyan basin]

bats her eyelashes Yes, Sim? How YOU doin'?

LOL

aww, but that was perfect!

[cinder temple]

Not for mortal eyes.

[cyan basin]

But I changed doctors and FINALLY got some painkillers, so I am happy and chirpy as all get out

[cinder temple]

Aw man, that's great news.

[cyan basin]

despite having to drive in to see the specialist to be told what we both already knew, I don't have RA

what I do have, nobody knows, other than a messed up pain center in my brain, but at least its not RA

[cinder temple]

Answers are good, even if we don't have all of them. I'm glad you were able to get a second opinion. You're well on the way to chill vibes.

[cyan basin]

and was finally got to the point in the system chain to get a referral to the 'chronic pain clinic' which will take over my pain management and I won't have this kind of censored, redacted, expletive of 3 months without anything at all...in the winter...with the rain...and holiday responsibilites (aka 30 year tradition of cookies)

but, painkillers make me babble, so forgive me

[cinder temple]

All is well. Think about soft grass, purple flowers, and warm sunbeams.

[cyan basin]

Gardening potatoes and carrots, catching butterflies and fish, giving a pebble to Einar, he believes they are acceptable gifts after all

[cerulean quail]

uh i was desperate to find rpg, sims, farm, adventure, life game that i think i saw it's potential when i was skimming through the top games videos🤔

[cinder temple]

Oh, neat! Everyone seems to hear about it in a different way. I was in a Discord totally unrelated to games like this one and someone slapped the trailer down. It looked so cozy that I came here pretty much instantly.

[cyan basin]

Yeah, MassivelyOP, an MMO online article writing news site thingie, they talked about it briefly and showed the trailer and I came here immediately, got into discord then started spreading that trailer like a fungus

[lofty mulch]

I found this game via a random twitter post. The power of social media!

[cyan basin]

'you get a link and you get a link and you get a link too, everybody gets a link'

So what are you looking forward to the most, from the (relatively) limited info out about the systems so far

remember, Alpha is in the next 4 to 5 months (current estimate) and none of this 'Alpha is Beta and Beta is pre-release and pre-release is early launch' type of BS that has become so common in the industry

[graceful rapids]

Is there any chance that Palia might be playable for everyone like early access or something this year ? 🤔

[lofty mulch]

No.

[cinder temple]

They're hoping to do a closed alpha in the first half of this year though, so make sure to visit the Palia website and sign up there for a chance at being part of that.

[lofty mulch]

This isn't Palia exclusive but using the game's systems in unintended ways for hilarious results.

[graceful rapids]

Sad... I am really looking forward for this game, yeah I have signed up

[cyan basin]

no, last info we had was potential release in 2024

[cinder temple]

Ugh, I know. The waiting is the worst part of this whole thing.

[graceful rapids]

Oh dang, can't wait...

[cyan basin]

Keskas, if you get in the alpha, finding out ways that griefers could screw things up is always appreciated, especially if you (and whomever you work with) write it all up so they can figure ways around it.

[cinder temple]

Gotta break it to help them make it.

[carmine relic]

Why do I feel like Keskas is gonna do those dumb troll logic memes, like two magnets for infinite power

[lofty mulch]

I will do mad science, whatever form that takes

[cinder temple]

What about glad science?

[lofty mulch]

I don't have a squad of friends to break games with yet but I'm working on it

[cyan basin]

Just announce in the proper alpha tester channels (I assume there will be alpha tester channels) that you want to make an anti-griefer-system team, you will find people, lol, This is assuming you get into Alpha, of course, or 2nd alpha, or beta, or.. you get the idea.

[spring rivet]

Palutations!

[carmine relic]

Aye!

[fallen elbow]

Happy timezones! ^^

[midnight oak]

Happy timezones as well!

[cunning mural]

day 28

the wait continues

good thing i remembered

[celest maple]

Is there any new updates for this game? 🤔

[fallen summit]

At the moment we're looking forward to the closed alpha that will most likely start in the first half of this year.

[celest maple]

oOF. :/

[fallen elbow]

Things take time...
The normal release of the game is planned for the next ~ 2 and a half years.

[fallen elbow]

If you haven't already, sign up on the homepage to maybe get access to said alpha. 😉

[celest maple]

Meh, maybe. lol.

Morning by the way.

[fallen elbow]

Good morning.

[celest maple]

Hey, hi!

[pure badge]

Have an extra happy morning yall!

[cunning mural]

mmm extra, extra happy morning

/evenin or afternoon

timezoneeesssss

[wispy meadow]

When I inevitably expire, can I go to Palia heaven pls?

[frigid temple]

cozy fishing greetings timezone

[cunning mural]

i also wish to enter palia heaven when i fade away

where the palia gods

[wispy meadow]

Wonder the Palia Pantheon is like

[summer obsidian]

Blessed Shimmerflies Everyone

[wispy meadow]

Okay so here's my list of Pantheon for Palia Discord:

• Xrystal the All-knowing
• Mango-Duck and Turtle: Twin Guardians
• Berry god of the Arts
• Gambit - Budget Loki
• Chair God of Furniture and Chaos
• Dadjoke the god of Dadjokes
• Wippit and Mrs Wippit
• .... I don't know who else to put here

For Palia the game the Pantheon is more like:

• Einar
• Chapaa
• Auni
• Grumpy fish

[cloud horizon]

May I ask what you are counting up towards?

[cunning mural]

palia

[cloud horizon]

I'm confused... why are you only at 28?

[pulsar meteor]

happy timezone pals! i dreamed about Palia again last night

[fallen summit]

I think it's since the day he joined this server, I might be wrong though

[worthy rose]

u wot

Oh okay. That makes a lot more sense.

[pulsar meteor]

yum, also hi nish

[ocean stone]

oh yeah I forgot texans use kolaches to refer to savory dishes

I am part Czech and kolaches to me are sweet pastries lol

[cunning mural]

because i only started counting them 28days ago

cauz i forgot to count the other 300ish days

[worthy rose]

the pastry they used has very sweet bread 🤷‍♂️

crispy bacon laid on top and then tucked in the ends, and egg and cheese on the inside where it's all warm and soft

they're really good despite how they look lol

[wispy meadow]

Damn now I really want some turkey bacon and omelettes

[ocean stone]

that's .... it's supposed to be a pastry hahaah

I posted the image in food and noms too. I've made my family's recipe before but I cannot find the picture

[worthy rose]

are you telling me that a pastry with meat isn't a pastry anymore

[ocean stone]

NO but you showed me a sandwich lol

[worthy rose]

no it's a pastry with stuff stuck in it

[ocean stone]

looks like bread

[worthy rose]

you're bread

[ocean stone]

Correct

[mint steppe]

Hiya Palians

[buoyant stirrup]

I'm from japan. I'm actually half asian.

[wispy meadow]

You know, DadJoke, with the special power of checks notes being named DadJoke.

[wispy meadow]

Completely random question but
What do you think is the most posh vegetable?

[wind ibex]

First I would need an accurate definition of "posh"

[ocean stone]

I would need an accurate definition of vegetable

[pulsar meteor]

I would need a specific qualifier of 'most'

[ocean stone]

As you see, we have many needs

[pulsar meteor]

i blame chapter 4 of sql server 2019 i am reading for class

[ocean stone]

One of my needs is tacos but that's irrelevant to the question at hand.

[wind ibex]

Sadly, you are a bit out of range for me to deliver you a taco Cinna.

[ocean stone]

Alas!

[ocean stone]

is the 2019 edition a sequel to something

[wind ibex]

Here, I was hoping the "Alas!" was going to be about the taco delivery.

[ocean stone]

oh it was

[pulsar meteor]

yes, both to several prior Microsoft versions, and arguably to Oracle and DB2

[wind ibex]

Usually alas is followed by an update of information that might change one's outlook on the situation.

[pulsar meteor]

such as 'earwax'

[ocean stone]

Gotta love sql sequels

[wind ibex]

An example would be "Alas! You might not be in range, but Dadjoke is! Maybe he can deliver a taco!"

[sharp obsidian]

No SQL! 🙂 🙂 🙂

[pulsar meteor]

i had to take it for an AS in programming and system analysis, though i'm actually enjoying it more than i expected to

[buoyant heath]

GROUP BY food_subtype
WHERE food_type LIKE '%vegetable%'
ORDER BY poshity_value```

[ocean stone]

poshity_value

[pulsar meteor]

looking for 'most' you would want DESC on the poshity_value wouldn't you?

[ocean stone]

This is true. I was going to follow my Alas! with another statement, such as 'I will have to source the tacos myself,' but I knew in my heart of hearts, I do not have the amount of effort in me at this time.

[pulsar meteor]

or maybe TOP 1

[buoyant heath]

You've passed the test, congrats

[pulsar meteor]

anyone else hoping we eventually get a Palia cookbook to buy?

[ocean stone]

As long as it is filled with Rethipes yes

[sharp obsidian]

"How to NOT cook by WhoaNonstop"

[wind ibex]

I had not thought of this, but that is a great Idea! Right up there with Plushie Kitsuu

[somber crag]

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

LOL I FORGOT THIS WAS MY NAME.

I just did a doubletake at myself.

[ocean stone]

Did you realize it when I added the dragons

[buoyant heath]

brb, seeing how many tacos I can fit in a flat-rate box

[somber crag]

YES, CINNA. YES I DID.

[ocean stone]

😂

[wind ibex]

Would be more economical to source from a taco supplier local to your destination, and have them deliver to the hungry cinna.

[pulsar meteor]

my daughter, almost 3, was leaning on my arm. she saw this emoji and went 'aww she crying'

[ocean stone]

AWWWWW

[wind ibex]

But that is a happy cry Evan's daughter.

[buoyant heath]

But then I'm not technically sending her tacos. I'm subcontracting taco delivery.

[somber crag]

Quick, someone grab a tissue. We gotta wipe the tears away.

[wind ibex]

You would still be thinking of her, and fulfilling the need with greater haste!

On a side note, shipping food is very expensive. Due to the need to be refrigerated, and usually has a bit of weight to it.

[buoyant heath]

SPEAKING OF GETTING THINGS DELIVERED

My valentine sent me flowers

[ocean stone]

Wow Jel is really thoughtful

[wind ibex]

No confirmation emails get sent,

what kind of a mythical creature is a Keskas?

[digital snow]

I wasn't able to get in the last playtest, but am excited to see where this game goes. lol I wonder if this game will release next year. I hope they take their time to polish it.

[abstract rover]

nah, we're under 2 1/2 yrs out

[digital snow]

Nice!

[wind ibex]

Only a very small % of people got into the last playtest. 1400 out of over 80k at the time.

[chilly crater]

they've already taken a bunch of measures to make sure the game is as player friendly as possible, so I don't think that's something to worry about haha

[digital snow]

Ahh makes sense. Gotta engine proof a lot of it. lol

[ocean stone]

[worthy rose]

[digital snow]

Been playing a lot of My Time at Portia. lol So I'm excited and hope we can place furniture diagonally. lol

[wind ibex]

They said the next phase (Closed Alpha, which starts in the first half of this year) will have more people in it than the previous test. While an exact number has not been stated, if we just said hey they doubled the amount of testers, that is still only 2800 people out of over 118k. So unless they massively increase the number of testers, which would not be wise this early in development, the odds of getting invited to the Closed Alpha are low.

[digital snow]

I can't wait for Unreal Engine 5 to come out this year. I feel that long term for the game, if Palia transitions, perhaps they'll run into less limitations as the game gets more updates.

[worthy rose]

what if it's only +2

[wind ibex]

Then there will be 2 more happy people.

[worthy rose]

[digital snow]

I agree with Closed Alpha being low in numbers as it's not near ready for public beta yet.

[worthy rose]

I also can't wait for ue5. It's such a beautiful engine and every demo I've seen of it has been so pretty

it makes me want to get a new big gpu just so I can experience it fully

[pulsar meteor]

they've chatted a bit about the potential of moving from 4 to 5, but it sounds like it's a non-trivial level of effort to do so

[wind ibex]

I think they said something about considering making the transition from UE4 to UE5, but had not yet come to a decision.

[digital snow]

Played a few games made in UE3 and it's sad that it only runs on a single core. Blade and Soul met a lot of performance issues even when people had decent PC specs. They recently ported to UE4, and it was only slightly better. lol

[worthy rose]

every night before i go to bed I pray that s6 will be able to move from ue4 to ue5 for palia with no limitations or drawbacks 🙏

[ocean stone]

Portia is a fun game!

[digital snow]

It very much is. I'm currently trying the Sandrock sequel to the game, I think that the game will eventually end up in Atara for it's next sequel after that as they go through their map. lol

[digital snow]

I agree. I don't want Palia to be out for 4 years and realize they'll eventually have to transition to UE5 eventually to keep the game up to date with other games and limitations. It'll cost more down the line.

[worthy rose]

gm whoa

[sharp obsidian]

Engine upgrades are a huge pain - it is mostly figuring out the correct timing to do it. (Note that I am not the SME on any upgrades internally, so I have 0 official info on that)

[wispy meadow]

You and your wife is basically modern day Palia version of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice

[wind ibex]

I was quoted by the great and powerful Whoa!

[ocean stone]

every night, I lay me down to sleep, I pray that WhoaNonstop, no more cryptic secrets will he keep

[digital snow]

xD Ya, engine upgrades are always a pain regardless since transitioning can sometimes break code, and you gotta debug million lines of code. lol

[worthy rose]

engine upgrades are ez just copy and paste the files into the new one and you're done haha I definitely know what I'm talking about!

[wispy meadow]

I left space in there cause I couldn't fit in everyone. You can be god to Toast and Csr can be god of Caesar salad if you wants

[digital snow]

Not how it worked for me. D: I was working on DigiPen's Zero engine, and they always had updates to their game engines. When I updated the engine, I always had to figure out what code broke. lol

Lots of bug fixes, so we had a few rollbacks. lol

[buoyant heath]

Okay, I checked, and the most posh vegetables are (in order)

• taro
• okra
• lavender
• watercress
• kale
• wasabi (loses points for being a radish)
• shallot (gains points because of Rachel Ray??)
• butternut squash (technically a fruit but taxed as a vegetable)
• azuki beans
• fennel

[ocean stone]

sus

[buoyant heath]

@wispy meadow hope this helps

Where is rainbow chard

[buoyant heath]

I think you made that up

[wispy meadow]

Sounds more like an exotic fish than a vegetable

[pulsar meteor]

in a smol pot outside my front door, actually

[buoyant heath]

Those in the know are aware that "rainbow chard" isn't an actual varietal of chard, but simply a mix of white-stemmed Swiss chard, red chard, and golden chard.
DISQUALIFIED

[worthy rose]

Salvner explains this law of multiple items very well in his subnautica speedruns.

When you construct one moonpool it is actually two moonpool. Deconstruct both and you get to make more moonpool than the amount of moonpool you had before

feb 18th

[remote latch]

ooh sounds plausible

[wind ibex]

Sometimes it feels like Caesar is trying to use a sundial at night to come up with these time frames.

[cyan basin]

I GOT IT! Feb 29th, 2022 will be when alpha starts for everybody!

[remote latch]

you checked to make sure there wasn't a 29th this year didn't you ... admit it

[cyan basin]

I double checked, I was pretty sure it was 2024, but didn't want to make a complete fool of myself

[remote latch]

I would have done the same 🙂

[wind ibex]

SF49- Starts Feb 49th, which would actually be March 21st.

[cyan basin]

I do know that its on even numbered years and no 00 year that is divisible by 4

thus, 2000 was not a leap year

[remote latch]

I thought it was years divisible by 40 .. which for the most part works for 4 but not all the time .. but it was a long time ago so I may be misremembering

[vast wyvern]

[remote latch]

Erissssssss!!!!!

[vast wyvern]

howdy!

[cyan basin]

I need to write a story about a human trying to explain to an alien about leap years, lol

[wind ibex]

A year is 365.24 days long, they add a day in there every 4 years but that ends up being extra, so every 25 years they should need to drop one too.

[cyan basin]

fun fact, the mayan calendar is more accurate than the gregorian

ahh, julian, sorry

except it ended 10 years ago.
