sleep is for the SLEEPY

Ha you expected me to say weak but no, it was me, dio!

[runic eagle]

I say it with eyes half open, I only got about 4 hours last night. I sit here with a large cup of coffee 😄

[scenic hare]

What even are eyes?

[runic eagle]

Trying to find mine atm 😏

[undone delta]

well since you guys can’t find your eyes ig i can talk freely abt Alpha

but i got class and i’m currently being threatened by a Banana powered Duck

[scenic hare]

I'm sorry, what you say Arco? I can't hear you very well without my eyes

Alright I'm done being silly. How is everyone?

[abstract rover]

i've got eyes, they don't see
the forest for the trees~

i wont believe it til i see it on tv~

[undone delta]

open discord on your tv then

[buoyant heath]

Good morning my friends

[celest maple]

morning

[buoyant heath]

I'd love to see some kind of sports or team competition in Palia. Something low impact and fun.

[wispy meadow]

Chapaa bowl

[long quarry]

Maybe sports management so it’s fair on all. Like you have a team and they auto play each other and there is a local leader board and a regional one and a continental one.

Kinda like championship manager I think it’s called for football

[undone delta]

chess championships
fades back to her sleep deprivation slumber

[long quarry]

I would toats play chess

[nova raven]

This but instead of an actual sport we just watch Chapaa's play like in the puppy bowl

[undone delta]

thats actually not a bad idea for a yearly event where for idk 4h every day during 1 week you can go to a stadium and see it with other people or smth

[nova raven]

Also wouldn't mind an actual sports ball game where a Chapaa was the ball. Kinda like in El Dorodo with the armadillo.

[undone delta]

The CPA, Chapaa Protection Agency, won’t allow this type of behaviour

[nova raven]

I imagine Chapaa would enjoy it knowing their mischievous nature. Also you wouldn't necessarily have to harm the Chapaa. It could be more of a capture or herding kind of sport.

[undone delta]

we’ll be watching

[nova raven]

Oooooo

I just had a better idea! Not exactly sports ball but a team crafting event!

[undone delta]

(reminder that #game-suggestions exists )

[nova raven]

I'm imagining something along the lines of having a product you need to make E.G. a pie or a bed or something. And your team works together to gather the necessary ingredients from the wild and then craft it

[nova raven]

Yea I should use that more. I'll read through it to make sure it hasn't already been posted and write up a formal post.

[wispy meadow]

Exactly what I was thinking of lol

[abstract rover]

chuck the chapaa
how far can you yeet a chapaa across the planet?

[wispy meadow]

Hello CPA
Yeah this guy right here pls

[abstract rover]

you'll never catch me alive, coppahs!

[abstract rover]

wait CPA? isnt that like an accountant

u tryna do my taxes?! I HAVENT DONE TAXES IN 70 YEARS!

[wispy meadow]

Idk

[undone delta]

(ik i recognised the CPA acronym from somewhere, my three quarters asleep brain wasn’t failing me!)

[buoyant heath]

The competitions of things like fishing and crafting are fun and I hope they have them, but I'd still like some kind of fun little sport

Maybe something involving the glider they showed in the trailer

[undone delta]

gliding races doesn’t sound bad

[abstract rover]

ummm there no glider in palia, it actually a giant jet rocket spaceship 🤡

i know becus am palia man

[undone delta]

I confirmed, I played Alpha and that’s exactly it

[abstract rover]

i acually playe the full release of plaia from future

it actually have 0 gameplay, is just a movie

[pallid isle]

is this going to be a vr game

[undone delta]

@abstract rover can tell you abt it

[abstract rover]

Most likely not

[buoyant heath]

They aren't targeting VR at the moment

[pallid isle]

guess I was mistaken thought I heard this was gonna be a vr mmo

[undone delta]

wrong mmo

[pallid isle]

yep

[scenic hare]

Gliding races? You mean we can be something else other than human?

Oh wait. Fast races as in event not species

[buoyant heath]

I want to play as a glider

[nova raven]

Lol

I wonder if gliding will be a skill like climbing. And if there will be different types of gliders with stats and stuff

Also 100% down for glider racing!

[undone delta]

it’s been confirmed that we will have a glider in the game, so you can glide maybe smth similar to Zelda botw or Genshin Impact

[wispy meadow]

Feel like gliding became a hot mechanic to have in games lately....

[nova raven]

It's always a fun movement tool for open world use

[undone delta]

what games have gliding other than botw, genshin, and dl2??

(more games need grappling hooks , all games become better if they have a grappling hook)

[nova raven]

I'm curious tho what kind of limitations there might be with gliding tho cause in botw they have stamina and I think they said climbing in this game is a skill but I dont remember if they said there would be a resource for climbing.

[undone delta]

they’ve said that for RUNNING there won’t be stamina don’t know abt climbing/gliding

[scenic hare]

I was a glider in Archeage.

[undone delta]

true archeage forgot abt it, adding it to the list

[buoyant heath]

Dear S6, let me play as a sugar glider please

[undone delta]

is that one of the lemur/squirrel things?

[wispy meadow]

You are a genius
Lemme join the sugar glider brigade pls

[buoyant heath]

A possum, actually

[nova raven]

I was gonna post this lol

[undone delta]

Even better!!

[wispy meadow]

It's adorable

[scenic hare]

Archeage, Guild wars 2, Genshin.. Craftopia

[nova raven]

In Archerage I cant remember if there was stamina but I do think they had gliders with stats like going faster

[scenic hare]

Craftopia has the updrafts of heated areas and such for gliders

[buoyant heath]

An adorable, gliding marsupial

[undone delta]

I don’t believe that Craftopia is a real game, it’s a social experiment

[undone delta]

I read this as “a cute flying rat”

[scenic hare]

It depended on the Glider itself on how fast it was. And it wasn't a stamina bar, it was just a buff that could wear off before you plummet but it was like.. 3 minutes or so

[nova raven]

That's right!

Also cant forget the ORIGINAL game that had gliding. WORLD OF WARCRAFT! And all the rocket powered slow falling mages.

[scenic hare]

I could see the reasoning of this. Considering they're putting everything they learned into... Palworld?

[undone delta]

gliding golf? was that what it was called? i can’t remember

[undone delta]

Palworld also isn’t a game it’s just the devs trying to experiment how close can they be to Nintendo suing them but never getting to the point of Nintendo suing them, they’re just chaotic entities playing with reality

[wispy meadow]

That's a fine line to tango with Nintendo 👀

[strong plover]

You guys think they are gonna make taxis or mounts with more players?

It be super chill if your group could hop onto a ride and just enjoy the scenery

[frosty heron]

Craftopia went through a huge codebase overhaul some months after I stopped playing it. I think they may have gotten acquired?

[wispy meadow]

Me who wants to ride a sernuk
Or a horse
Or a giant bird creature

[frosty heron]

giant bird creature for sure

[undone delta]

yes I want this plz

[frosty heron]

https://tenor.com/view/flying-appa-avatar-gif-18045158

[undone delta]

gets hit by heavy WoW nostalgia

[buoyant heath]

Sometimes existing is enough to earn the ire of Nintendo

[undone delta]

if I name my kid Mario, does nintendo have legal rights to sue me?

[strong plover]

Glad i ain't the only one :P

[nova raven]

No but you have to sign a contract with the birth certificate stating that Nintendo now gets a percentage of your earnings.

[undone delta]

and if I don’t?

[shrewd fiber]

Nintendo hitmen come to your house and you play smash ultimate for your soul.

[undone delta]

pfff, they can try

[spring rivet]

[shrewd fiber]

Now, if you name your Palia character Mario...
that's when the fun begins.

[undone delta]

I don’t want Nintendo suing S6 so I won’t try it

[shrewd fiber]

I'll support PVP in Palia but only if it's used to fight off the Nintendo hitmen. /j

[nova raven]

Let's see how good Nintendo is at Chapaa ball!

[shrewd fiber]

I can't decide if that would be Calvin Ball, just regular Soccer but it's a Chapaa as the ball, or Mega Man Battle Network's footbomb with an explosive Chapaa.

Personally I vote for footbomb.

[celest maple]

Good timezone all....

[cunning mural]

why are romancing questions over 99

[spare siren]

Hornee

[remote latch]

Sounds like the Character Creator and the Relationship System are the most common questions here so may be answered in some form but we will have to see I guess

[remote latch]

There are some interesting questions there - #851872239435644928 message

[spare siren]

I do hope we get to explore characters and their points of view on the world, like have an option to sit down with them in their homes and really get to know about them and the world's lore if we do

Instead of "I like fish wanna make out!"

[remote latch]

Yeah, helps you feel part of the world if you spend time with them and get to know them 🙂

[spare siren]

Exactly, can't wait for the fights over who's top tier romance option

[remote latch]

Well we have the info cards for several villager npcs already in #🌠│official-art so I think we've had conversations like that in the past as each one was revealed .. no x is better than y .. no z is better than x .. no y is better than z

[dense briar]

deep talks about the universe at 3am is how i like to court my love interest

[remote latch]

What do you think of fashion ? Jel takes walks while pondering his craft, maybe you could join him

[dense briar]

legit love fashion so much, it was what initially drew me to Jel (ha, pun, get it, because i like to draw him)

but yeah i'm excited to learn more about the game in general! It gives more fuel to my obsession artistic freedoms

[remote latch]

Well, make sure to check out the art challenges we do each week in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art if you haven't already

[undone delta]

you are a bot

[remote latch]

[dense briar]

i might casually be working on my community art challenge entry rn
or i would be
if i didn't have to worry about battery percentage on my ipad

[remote latch]

I have a little idea for mine but waiting to see how it forms in my head before putting it on paper

[undone delta]

what’s the challenge this week? i never keep up with them lol

[remote latch]

Imagine what happens when it rains .. what will the characters do while it is raining

Actual wording for clarity - What's the best way to spend a rainy day? Do your favorite NPCs keep dry and dodge the droplets, or do they take muddy puddles as a personal challenge? Shower the server in creativity by helping us illustrate a drizzly day in Palia.

[scenic hare]

Which channel is this going in?

[remote latch]

#🎨│old-palia-fan-art

Link to the previous challenge collage - #🎨│old-palia-fan-art message

[scenic hare]

I'm only good at writing, I do hope that counts?

[dense briar]

I hope we don't have to draw the rain and just the character with like an umbrella

[remote latch]

yeah I think it will be fine. Simuel will probably put some sort of drizzle haze overlay on the collage

Writing is cool . but I don't know how that can be portrayed in the collage .. but go right ahead 🙂

[scenic hare]

I just like writing to challenge my imagination and vocabulary. If someone draws inspiration from it I do not mind, in fact encourage it.

[remote latch]

Yeah I do the same sometimes.. I have a Chapaa Adventures collection of short stories pending but they start with an image I draw

[scenic hare]

Heh, I love it. I may be getting Sai soon and practicing after I get a tablet

But for now, writing is my only creative outlet

[remote latch]

I actually did the opposite way round last year .. did a bunch of images and someone used one of them as a basis for a story .. was fun to read.

[scenic hare]

It sounds like a lot of fun actually. After work I'll sit down and see if I can't sew a scene together.

[undone delta]

I would write a poem based on that prompt but after playing Alpha I feel like i’ll be cheating in some way

[abstract rover]

I have nothing useful to say at this moment in time so I will leave you folks with one word.

shampoo.

[undone delta]

shampoo bamboo

[scenic hare]

Poems write emotions and feeling. You could capture the different feelings of a rainy day, but I feel like a short writing would be better to capture a picture with literature

Longer poems can do it probably, but I also feel like that's not a challenge I'm looking for.

[hearty dirge]

I think haikus would be a good option for a picture.

[scenic hare]

I could see that depending on how good you are with words. I feel like it wouldn't capture everything though, but I have been proven wrong before

[undone delta]

You don’t NEED to capture a picture, you’re expressing how the NPC feels/acts under the rain, no strict need to do any sort of imagery

[buoyant heath]

So, like, if an NPC is only happy when it rains? If they only feel good when things are going wrong? If they only listen to the sad, sad songs?

[scenic hare]

Well, you don't have to capture the picture. I feel like it's something I should do with the context.

[cinder temple]

In that case you should probably pour your misery down on them.

[buoyant heath]

Noted

[finite sparrow]

❤️ Hello my friends! How is everything going here?

[fallen elbow]

To bed, at least for me.
Hello and good night.

[scenic hare]

Thinking about this more, I suppose when I looked at the prompt, I saw 'Your favorite NPCs'. Which, I do not have a favorite. My thought process is all of them, which this could be a plethora of many different emotions and activity.

[remote latch]

So do several .. one for each 🙂

[stone tulip]

My favorite npc? None because I don't know any of them well enough to get money off of them

[atomic lodge]

Hmm. Does anyone know if they ever answered the question if people could eventually run public shops out of their homes?

[abstract rover]

That's what i'm hoping to be able to do, the Baristafia will become a reality!!!

[atomic lodge]

Sounds fun :) Plus it very much fits the social theme to make pubs, inns, general stores, etc

[remote latch]

Nope, unfortunately not yet, it's one of my regular questions in the #851872239435644928 channel, maybe it will get answered when they are ready to make that decision 🙂

[atomic lodge]

Thanks, one can hope! I'm just a fan of the local shopkeeper game play that has kind of disappeared in recent years, where most games just have the big impersonal market/auction house systems now.

I remember being a very successful archery shopkeeper in Ultima Online, for example, or selling adventurer essentials in Ragnarok Online when I was afk. Star War Galaxies used to have some very amazing cantina owners, too.

[remote latch]

I'll be happy as long as there is a way to sell / trade with other players. Be it as a shop from your house or a market stall in the village center

Yeah, I used to be a droid engineer and trader

[mystic pond]

Shopkeeper systems are pretty complex so it will be interesting to see if this is something they add.

[remote latch]

Yeah, even if it's something they add later in the game I'd be happy to wait for it .. I just hope there is just something to do with the stuff you grow/make/catch/etc that's meaningful in some way.

[steel orchid]

I'm still alive

[odd spear]

What is the system requirements again?

[spring rivet]

although we are yet to announce a list of required specs, here's what we know so far:

[S6] BuscoBear — 06/03/2021
You may be able to run it even on a bad PC, we're shooting for a low min spec. That said PC isn't the end goal

[wispy jay]

Game announcments been quiet lol

[fallen elbow]

They have to work through the data they got with the latest ended closed alpha.
There's a Q&A coming up so it's not that quiet after all.

BOOOOH NAAAA NAAAAA

Herro, we be good, KinKin has beat me to the answer. No confirmed date for the next playtest, the Team will announce ahead of the starting time when the time comes

[lyric ocean]

Moooornin

[wispy meadow]

So I know we have chapaas but!
Do we have Pandas in Palia?

Because my head had been filled with the image of a panda patterned chapaa since earlier but it's so hard to draw 😅

[lyric ocean]

I hope so

[fast path]

just discovered the game yesterday and i'm asking myself how the game work for the housing.
is it instanced ? is it a village shared by multiple people or something like that where we can buy a land and build our house on it and then people build the village with each their own house in it ?

[lyric ocean]

Would love to learn about the animal species in Palia

[wispy meadow]

The housing is instanced but the guild system is called neighborhoods and a lot of people are building them up to be like a separate village theme

At least that's what we discussed doing last time this was talked about here, idk what the end result will be

[fast path]

ok, let's wait & see then 🙂 Thanks for the answer

[wispy meadow]

You can probably find the S6 discussions on housing and neighborhood in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha I think

[fast path]

i'll take a look at it when i'll have time 😉

Question... With all the buzz around "metaverse" lately are y'all planning to try and shift towards becoming a metaverse? Based on what I have seen I feel like this game could adapt at least partly in that direction

[maiden canopy]

aww alpha is over 😦

I never got a shot

I await and hope I get in the beta I guess :/

[nova raven]

But there's still so many alpha's to test!

[wispy meadow]

I don't like the idea of metaverse...

It feels like it's too easy to mess up with something new like that

[limpid oar]

How do I fill out the survey?

[fallen elbow]

coffee beans!
Oh, fantasy crops... Magic coffee beans!! 🤣

[spring rivet]

you can sign up here for testing phases:
https://palia.com/

[maiden canopy]

No it is over

[fallen elbow]

Over until the next alpha wave starts. ^^

[maiden canopy]

I have never seen them say the alpha is over before when doing it

so it is odd to do it for this one

[nova raven]

If alpha is already over and they're already going into beta then that's even better!

But I'm pretty sure they've always announced the end to alpha tests

They at least said there would be 4-5 more testing phases of some kind. Cant remember if that was before beta would begin or before they look at any kind of open testing or what.

[buoyant heath]

They said when the pre-alpha stages were over, and then when this first alpha test ended.

[nova raven]

Couldn't find the one that said 4-5 but the QnA from 2 months ago says there will be a few more closed tests until they do open tests.

As long as I can run around in circles Palia-style by the end of the year then I'll be happy

[maiden canopy]

I was sure this was the 2nd test, as they did 2 waves

[buoyant heath]

I don't know how many waves they did, but they announced the start and the end of this alpha test.

[maiden canopy]

hmm

[undone delta]

they announced the end to this alpha, they haven’t said whether they’re starting beta yet or if the next test would be beta, it could just be another alpha

[remote latch]

from #❔│game-faqs
Will there be more testing phases in the future?
Yes. We’ll have multiple Alphas and Betas as we develop towards launch. We don’t know when yet, as it’s dependent on how our testing goes. We expect to receive a lot of great feedback for improvements that we would want to take action on—and that means we would need more time to develop and implement these features. We want to make sure we can make Palia the best it can be.

[wispy meadow]

So this was alpha 1.0
Next is alpha 2.0
I think right?

[remote latch]

I believe so .. as to how many waves there were ..

From #📢│palia-news

Alpha Invite Wave 2 ( Final Wave ) - 15th Feb
Alpha Invite Wave 3 ( Additional Wave ) - 24th Feb
End of Alpha  Announcement - 30th March```

[remote latch]

The 4-5 testing phases quote is here
#💬│palia-discussions message

No problem at all! 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!" ```

Dirt is land. land is dirt. rats are potatoes. 🐀 🥔

[nova raven]

Every game I go to I cant escape potatoes and their machinations.

Hey Odd Ball

[worthy rose]

Hello

[wraith swift]

I could really use Palia to take my mind off things today 😦

[dry warren]

Awe whatever is wrong I'm sending big hugs your way!!!

[nova raven]

I'm sending you warm vibes

[buoyant heath]

Burn away those bad thoughts in the healing flames

[nova raven]

All will be purified in flame!

[stone tulip]

I can recommend Warhammer 40k for that, otherwise the Nether in Minecraft should suffice

Disclamer: Warhammer 40k is a brutal game that I've never played nor will. I just couldn't remember the meme quotes I've seen from it

But anyway

[nova raven]

I'll just Black Mage in FFXIV and Fire IV spam

[wind ibex]

I would renew my sub for that game if I had someone to play with.

[buoyant heath]

Kinda sounds like you do

[abstract rover]

Hello palians.

[true fractal]

pues ya tenemos MMO en comun, a ver si sale rapido la alpha jijiji,

[undone delta]

[remote latch]

An Alpha test of Palia has just finished, but, there are more tests coming this year. When the next one will be, we don't know.

[undone delta]

I find it so weird
everytime someone replies to one of my messages the message looks like highlighted i’m sure that’s the same for everyone, But is VERY SPECIFICALLT when @fallen elbow replies that i don’t see that, like literally is only with them

[remote latch]

It won't highlight if its just an image like that.. word replies should highlight as far as I know .. I don't think I've had image only replies yet or not noticed rofl

[undone delta]

I’m sure times they’ve replied with text too i see it

[remote latch]

[fallen elbow]

Or I could just text something.

[undone delta]

i can’t send pictures here, but I do see this highlighted lol

[undone delta]

it’s not highlighted! it’s so weird!

[hollow bramble]

You can toggle if it pings you?

[remote latch]

hi Ash

[undone delta]

and i swear i’ve seen it before and is always you lol idk what does my discord has against you

[hollow bramble]

[remote latch]

Weird how it highlights one person pinging but not another

[fallen elbow]

Exactly. 💯

[fallen elbow]

Me?

[remote latch]

hmm Asherelle in chat .. does this mean ????? maybe .... ... Q & A

Droid reply to one of my messages .. lets see if its you and not Arco

[hollow bramble]

Ask me a question, I will answer! (It might not be the answer you're expecting.)

[undone delta]

yup!

[undone delta]

how you doing?

[buoyant heath]

What's the best 80s movie?

[remote latch]

When are the #❓│old-team-answers-alpha for this month dropping ?

[hollow bramble]

Little tired. Couldn't sleep well but I'm drinkin' me coffee.

[remote latch]

wow that could be a tough one .. so many I liked back then

[hollow bramble]

This is so hard...Totoro came out in '88 though. If not, Breakfast Club

[buoyant heath]

Those are good answers!

[hollow bramble]

And Roger Rabbit is good too

[buoyant heath]

Roger Rabbit is a masterpiece

[hollow bramble]

And Airplane!

[fathom pecan]

Hm long name prevents me from going to link in reply

I must know the guts of this conversation

[stone tulip]

I see Rodger Rabbit

😄

[hollow bramble]

We're working on it! Promise 😄

[remote latch]

Rofl .. Just looked at top 45 movies of 1980s .. I loved most of them

[stone tulip]

The Princess Bride

[buoyant heath]

Fantastic answer.

[remote latch]

My names is Indigo Monteya .. you killed my father .. prepare to die

[stone tulip]

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA TYPE! XD

[hollow bramble]

Do you want to guess what my go-to feel good movie is

[buoyant heath]

Alien vs Predator?

[hollow bramble]

The hint is that it's definitely a chick flick

AHAHA

no

[stone tulip]

I don't watch many chick flicks, or movies in general

[buoyant heath]

Is it an 80s movie?

[undone delta]

Sharknado

[hollow bramble]

aughts movie

[remote latch]

hmm I haven't got a go to feel good movie .. probably because I have a movie collection to randomly pick from

[buoyant heath]

I used to date someone who watched 13 going on 30 all the time and I managed to extract a lot of joy from that one

[hollow bramble]

That's a great one

Def would be in the same category

[remote latch]

How to lose a man in 10 days

[hollow bramble]

I also consider The Devil Wears Prada under that too

[buoyant heath]

Can we all agree that the boyfriend is the true villain in that movie?

[hollow bramble]

yes 😂

[stone tulip]

I got an 80's movie. Transformers: The Movie

[buoyant heath]

I give up, Asherelle

[hollow bramble]

Legally Blonde

I also got to see the musical

[remote latch]

Yes, that is a good one .. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed that one after avoiding it for years and years

[buoyant heath]

As a master of the bend and snap myself, I approve of this choice

[hollow bramble]

There's this constant feel of just...positivity and hope throughout the movie

Which is why I love parks and rec cuz of leslie knope's vibe XD

[buoyant heath]

The sense of "I'm gonna go do this thing the absolute best I can with no doubt" is very refreshing

[remote latch]

Gremlins is one of my top ones of the 80s .. can watch that again and again

[stone tulip]

Gremlins, the movie where if you pour water on the fluffy creature it multiplies?

[remote latch]

yep

[hollow bramble]

What about that one running gag with Paul Rudd every time he appears on late night

edit: here's a compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMkz3nPPKbA

is it mac and me

haha

[stone tulip]

That movie scared me.... 😐

[remote latch]

noooooo there is a Gremlins animated series coming out in the US about young Gizmo... no fair

[stone tulip]

Honestly though Princess Bride is my all time favorite movie

Those two movies should not be in the same sentence..... XD

VERY drastically different movies, XD

[remote latch]

I used to love Nightmare on Elm Street back then .. but now .. it just doesn't have the same appeal

[stone tulip]

Oh yeah 80's was known for dumb horror films....

Alien

I cant handle horror movies, or really tense scary movies

[hollow bramble]

I used to be like that...and then at some point it switched and I can watch all sorts of horror movies now

[remote latch]

But yet I can watch Minions and Frozen back to back

[stone tulip]

I'll never be able to do that. I'm far too squeamish. I lasted almost 10 minutes watching Underwater before leaving the room, XD

[hollow bramble]

is that the movie with kristen stewert

[stone tulip]

No idea who that is, but its the movie where they're on the bottom of the ocean in a collapsing facility

[hollow bramble]

i didn't go see it myself but my friends said it was pretty good. too bad it's not on any subscription service that i have

she's the main character in it XD

but most people know the actress as bella from twilight

[buoyant heath]

I have a question - do you think it's become more difficult to pick questions for team answers because S6 is reaching the limits of what can be revealed while the game is in alpha?

[hollow bramble]

I like watching horror with friends and families because a lot of times it ends up us calling out inconsistencies/immersion-breaking things, which makes it less scary

I think that is a good point. Ultimately we do want to answer as best as we can, but it's a tricky state where you have to be careful with wording or people latch on to certain things and build expectations off of that, if you get what I mean. Not sure if I can go more into that, though.

[heavy ice]

Hey guys hows everyone's day going?

[buoyant heath]

I appreciate the answer. I saw a youtube video questioning if it was worth it to "follow" Palia potentially this far out from release. I felt like it was more of an introspective question, like "should I stake my channel on a game that is somewhat limited in what it can release right now and might not be out for years" which is a reasonable thing to ask. But that was a point mentioned in the video, that the scarcity of available info to release might lead to an issue like that.

I'm personally happy with the way S6 is keeping a pretty regular schedule with at least some kind of content, I know of some games I've been very interested in where the devs have just gone dark and you don't even the get the sense that any progress is being made.

[hollow bramble]

It makes sense, especially from a content creator perspective!

[undone delta]

(ha I saw that video too!)

[nova raven]

I just watched that one today at work

[buoyant heath]

Oh so I'm not the only one scouring youtube for Palia-related content

[undone mist]

Hardly

[nova raven]

The mood comes and goes for me and I'm def in that mood right now

[heavy ice]

I really like how there's a meet the team section. It makes it seem like the game is more of a developing community than just an upcoming game.

[undone mist]

Man, I havent spoken to you in ages Dadjoke. How are you?

[nova raven]

Also saw your vids @buoyant heath !

[undone delta]

ant that’s exactly what it is!

[buoyant heath]

I wish I had more to say! I didn't intend to be a Youtuber, it just seemed like something fun to do

[heavy ice]

I agree! I love how the sense of community (as someone who isnt active very much) is still incredibly strong. There's lots of feeling and connection to the game and community because the Palia team, as well as the lovely active people, make it feel so warm and welcoming.

[hollow bramble]

[undone delta]

we all wish you had more content to show I’ll definitely be following!

[nova raven]

Does anyone else have an irl friend that got access to the alpha and you want to talk to them about Palia but dont want to cause them to break their NDA?

[buoyant heath]

[buoyant heath]

Yes

[nova raven]

You didnt get into the Alpha again!?

[dense briar]

Me! One of my friends wanted to scream at me about it but shoved the website and Twitter at me like "just trust me"
She was not wrong

[heavy ice]

No none of my friend know about the game

[undone delta]

I heard someone couldn’t talk to their wife bc of that

[undone delta]

but yes many of my friends kept asking me questions and I couldn’t answer lol

[nova raven]

Might have been dad joke lol. Him and his kids havent been able to talk to his wife in a month.

[remote latch]

My handful of friends prefer fighting games 🙂 But I told them about Palia just in case they were interested when I first joined the server .. but no takers yet

[undone delta]

was it Dadjoke? I wasn’t sure I know Xrystal talk me abt smth like that

[remote latch]

yeah that would be Wippit The non-alpha spouse

[heavy ice]

Me too! All my friends are into more violent games. My bf is obsessed with citylife

[stone tulip]

Oh no Wippit didn't get into alpha but his wife did? XD

[remote latch]

no Wippit finally got into Alpha .. but Pre-Alpha was a nightmare for him

[buoyant heath]

It was not me.

[undone delta]

lol Ah that’s what it was!

[stone tulip]

Oh gatcha

[heavy ice]

So how has everyone's day gone?

[undone delta]

it’s inhumanly hot

[heavy ice]

Oh really? It's been kinda rainy and cloudy here

[undone delta]

I’m jealous

[heavy ice]

I'm jealous of you! I love warmer weather

[stone tulip]

It has finally hit 70 f

[undone delta]

I said inhumanly!

I thought i was going to dehydrate as I was walking home

[heavy ice]

70f sounds amazing

[heavy ice]

Oh no!

[stone tulip]

It is when three days ago it was snowing

[buoyant heath]

Reminder for everyone to drink some water

[heavy ice]

I love when the weather is confused

[undone delta]

…that’s too close to hell for me

[heavy ice]

Whaaaat!? What's your ideal temp?

[undone delta]

0°C No i’m kidding

i don’t understand temperatures that’s the thing

so i can’t tell you a range, just know that if it’s cold i’m happy

[heavy ice]

I perfer the heat

[undone delta]

I only like heat when it comes from my soup

[dense briar]

I loooove the heat
It's like 13c today so I'm happy

[heavy ice]

Oh nice!

[remote latch]

70f is my max temp comfort zone .. it used to be our good summer temp .. but now thats our 'it might get that low in summer but likely a spring high temp'

[stone tulip]

Confused weather is the default for new york

[heavy ice]

Same for Maryland

[undone delta]

I think you guys have a New Englander connondrum (idk how to spell that word)

[stone tulip]

Well, same North East area 🤷‍♀️

[runic eagle]

Same here Xrystal, once it gets out of the 70's where I am the humidity starts to creep in and then it becomes a swealtering heat and becomes quite unbearable to be outside.

[remote latch]

I can stomach 75 and maybe 80 with high speed fan on all day .. but after than ... way too hot and of course summer is the best time rain wise to work in the garden rofl .. so catch 22 .. hot and dry or cold and wet ..

[undone delta]

it was 83.9 today lol

[runic eagle]

Mhm my garden and lawn get my attention early in the mornings and later in the evenings during the summertime

[nova raven]

I can deal with 90+ if it's dry heat. Was in Vegas one summer when it was 100. It was dry, I was sweating, it was wonderful.

[stone tulip]

Yep, there's a difference between wet-heat and dry-heat. Wet-heat sucks

[fathom pecan]

I'm absolutely glad I told my buddy about this. Especially since it's gonna have low spec requirements. He's going through a very tough money limbo.

[undone delta]

whats good abt dry heat tho?

[runic eagle]

Yes, as soon as you open the door here to step outside during the summer the humidity hits you right away, it's like a sauna outside. The air is thick to breathe. I enjoy spring as long as it's here, because our summers are quite harsh.

[fathom pecan]

I like wet heat

[stone tulip]

it doesn't have humidity. A 90 f day in Arizona feels like a 75-80 f day in New York with humidity

[fallen elbow]

That it's no wet-heat.
I can bear dry-heat but am dying in wet-heat.

[fathom pecan]

Dude when I went to new york the air was more pure than Indiana where I live.

[undone delta]

It’s still the power of atoms burning your skin

[undone delta]

I’ll second this
with Texas instead of Arizona

[fathom pecan]

You'd think a city would have more fossil fuel air...

[stone tulip]

Well i've never been to ether of those states

[fathom pecan]

I bet Arizona is filled with wheat field allergens lol

[stone tulip]

Arizona is a desert, i dont think wheat grows there

[undone delta]

wheat grows everywhere my child

[fathom pecan]

.///. I don't know geography until I've been places

[stone tulip]

I'm not sure they grow in Arizona

[fathom pecan]

https://www.google.com/search?q=Does+Arizona+have+wheat&oq=Does+Arizona+have+wheat&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2.3437j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

[stone tulip]

everywhere, probably. But definitely not Arizona, unless its the winter months

[fathom pecan]

debunked. Apparently its a highly prized valuable food

[undone delta]

DO NOT CHALLENGE THE WILL OF THE WHEAT

[stone tulip]

Oh nevermind then, XD

[fathom pecan]

How would wheat survive winter?

[tulip skiff]

[fathom pecan]

Surprisingly enough though, blueberry bushes grow in winter days to then pop up in spring as a fruit on their branches.

[undone delta]

why is your name not Double Trouble?

[stone tulip]

Arizona my friend. It rarely goes below 60 f in the winter months and in the summer its 90-100+ f daily

[fathom pecan]

Guess it doesn't snow there

[stone tulip]

I figure winter would be better for growing wheat there because the crops wouldnt get scorched

[fathom pecan]

Yeah living in a snow state confuses the heck outta me for other states

[undone delta]

Wheat is powerful, it doesn’t get scorched

in fact, Wheat scorched you

[buoyant heath]

Same for Maryland. Wait

[fathom pecan]

There is a surprise in #🎨│old-palia-fan-art for all ya.

I wish to be tall..

[remote latch]

Its Double Double Trouble Trouble

[undone delta]

[queen meadow]

Мне вот интересна концепция игры, но есть одно но, будут ли дальше видео что бы познтаь о вселенной Палии?

[remote latch]

Translation : I'm interested in the concept of the game, but there is one thing, but will there be further videos to learn about the Palia universe?

[undone delta]

did you translate it or you speak that language?

[remote latch]

Google translate .. I haven't delved into Cyrillic yet

[undone delta]

cool!

[queen meadow]

is that a problem that that is my is my mother language?

[remote latch]

Not a problem exactly. But, English is the main language here for the moment. Until they start translating the game into other languages.

[viscid cedar]

Hi everyone

[undone delta]

Not at all i just wanted to know if Xrystal spoke it hahahha

[remote latch]

As to your question, the game is currently under NDA so any videos would be at their discretion, so all we can do is wait. But, in the mean time we do have imagery in #🌠│official-art to give you some idea there and answers to some of our questions by the developers in #❓│old-team-answers-alpha. And #❔│game-faqs for those regular questions 🙂

[queen meadow]

well then as an Estonian i was making sure that there is no political **** here and i am sure that civils of all contrys are not wrong

[remote latch]

No politics I think is one of the rules ..

Wait, not exactly, but respect regardless of background .

[queen meadow]

explain

[fallen summit]

no political reason behind it as far as I know, so don't worry. There's plenty of people here whose mother language is not english, but for the sake of understanding each other more easily we have to abide by the rule that says that the server is in english only for the time being

[remote latch]

This is rule 1. Respect and kindness above all.
Respect and kindness above all. This includes offensive actions and comments directed at someone's gender, sexual orientation, appearance, race, religion, language, etc. We respect healthy debate, but will not tolerate argumentative discourse. Discuss the idea, not each other.

[potent loom]

And rule 6️⃣

[fallen summit]

rule 6 being: English only, for now.
We are incredibly humbled by everyone's enthusiasm for the game! We ask that you keep your conversations primarily in English as this will be the only language we are supporting.

as far as I know however, there will be more languages added with time

[remote latch]

Yep Rule 6 .. the English for now
We are incredibly humbled by everyone's enthusiasm for the game! We ask that you keep your conversations primarily in English as this will be the only language we are supporting.
Which is explained further in the #❔│game-faqs
Can we get a channel for (insert language)?
Given that the Pre-Alpha was in English, we've taken the decision to have the server be primarily in this language at this time. It's also very difficult to moderate channels in a language we don't speak. When we're ready to localize the game, we'll make sure to add language-specific channels for players and some of the lovely community members who have already volunteered for moderators.

[queen meadow]

about languages im not bothered. i know fluently 4 languages from the age of 8

[remote latch]

cool 🙂

[queen meadow]

and yes i didnt study them

welcome to the craziness that is the Palia Server

[undone delta]

(am I the only one reading this all with a goblin/gollum voice?)

[heavy dew]

iiiiit's soupercalifragilistic.. yes, just soup, it's soup

[wispy meadow]

Lmaoo

[grand heron]

@remote latch thank u . The game seems interesting any news on when it will be released?

[undone delta]

Tomorrow

[wispy meadow]

Yesterday

[grand heron]

Wait really ?

[undone delta]

No lol

[heavy dew]

Be nice everyone.. some people actually ask genuinely

[queen meadow]

OI fellas

[remote latch]

We are still a ways off with an estimate of less than 2 and a half years. But more comfortably after about 4-5 test cycles.

[wispy meadow]

Sorry I have pre dawn sarcasm....
In all honesty listen to Xrystal. Most trust worthy person here

[grand heron]

Haha love the jokes tho:)

[potent loom]

You have already gone too far in trying to destroy the balance!
Moderator! Throw it out of our sight!

[heavy dew]

Xrystal knows all, Xrystal sees all

[grand heron]

@remote latch okey thank u :)

[remote latch]

Make sure you have signed up on the website if you want to join the next test .. we just finished an alpha test so may be a while before the next one.

[queen meadow]

1 question. i want to know a recipe for a light dish.(about 0- 40 euros)

[grand heron]

@remote latch just did :)

[undone delta]

I was already given 2 strikes in the same day!

[heavy dew]

[remote latch]

Berry ... I can't add any more letters to my name to add ''The Knowitall' I mean 'The All Knowing'

[heavy dew]

Yeah those two are very different vibes aren't they

[remote latch]

real food you might want to see if someone is chatting about food in #🍜│food-and-noms

[undone delta]

and In fact chaos ruled for a very long period until y’all ordered the server again, I will have my vengeance!

[remote latch]

exactly

[wispy meadow]

Arco's villain arc
But he's more like the Disney villain who wants chaos with no actual harm done

[undone delta]

[queen meadow]

hive five for a culinary live course as a channel( once a month or week)

[potent loom]

The fight between Chapaa and Chuu was not chaos, I controlled everything...
Moreover, only the Chapaa were at fault, and still are...

[undone delta]

@heavy dew do you embrace Chaos with me or are on the Chuu side? on your answer will depend the future of The Chapaa Protection Agency

[wispy meadow]

[heavy dew]

I think you've known me long enough now to know I am chaos, but.. considerate chaos 👀

[potent loom]

The Chapaa do not deserve protection, only the Chuu deserve it

[undone delta]

Very Well!! the Chapaa Protection Agency will bring your ordered regime to its end!!

[wispy meadow]

I'm staying swiss cheese neutral in this fight

[queen meadow]

to be honest, i need to wake up in 6 hours and go to work( hard work because each metal piece weight's about 50kg) and its the first time in 4 years il be drinking coffe

[undone delta]

(btw berry i decided that you and me are the directors of the agency without your consent hope you’re alright with it)

[remote latch]

make sure you get some sleep then if you're working with heavy items .. that needs lots of concentration

[potent loom]

Do you think you are numerous enough to face the army that is my family?

[undone delta]

We don't need numbers when we have the power of friendship!!

[wispy meadow]

Arco turned from villain to protagonist???

[queen meadow]

well its something wrong with me. The less i sleep the more dedicated i get (with a huge -. i begin to hate everyone and every sound)

[potent loom]

Asherelle, Whirly! Show them the way!

[heavy dew]

This is the way

[potent loom]

Arco needs to know the truth

[undone delta]

no friend Chuu, they are not on your side, you will be consumed by chaos

[wispy meadow]

Okay that's it I'm changing the definition of Chuu
A Chuu is now a baby chapaa

[heavy dew]

Are you chuure about that chuuise?

[undone delta]

idk if i want you on my side anymore..

[remote latch]

I thought a chuu was a group of chapaa ?

[heavy dew]

Chuurely we can come to an understanding

[wispy meadow]

Honestly I don't wanna see an all out Chuu vs chapaa war
Too devastating

[heavy dew]

No that's "a problem"

[potent loom]

You know nothing Arco!
Chaos is and will always be balanced by itself!
You had lost even before our fight!!

[queen meadow]

coincidence with the character in this game. I have a friend who is also Chu in discord called but he was in discord long before this game was announced Xd

[potent loom]

Heretic

[heavy dew]

Coinchuudence

[undone delta]

We'll see about that! but until then, we will rule

[undone delta]

you're stretching it..

[heavy dew]

It is however time for me to rest, night lovelies!

[wispy meadow]

Try me 👀

[queen meadow]

that friend even made a fluffy avatar in vrchat with a heart beat to help me sleep :3

[remote latch]

thats nice of them

[queen meadow]

who likes chinchillas?

[wispy meadow]

Pretty much everyone here likes floof

[undone delta]

on a stew or grilled?

IM KIDDING IM JOKING

[queen meadow]

so lets start a 3rd faction

the chinchilla and for short - Chinchass or Chinchulki or Chinchi

[remote latch]

rofl .. in case you weren't aware the Chu-Chapaa war is regarding these cute critters and before we knew the official name we had the fun of picking one of 2 names

[undone delta]

Chapaa is the correct answer

[remote latch]

And as you can see .. many months later the old battle is still there

[raw quarry]

In that case, the wrong answer is better

[potent loom]

Yesterday I saw a table, then I wondered how it tasted....
I went back to bed...

[wispy meadow]

So far all the art and stuff have been adult chapaa
But humans have always named babies separately too
Cat has kittens, dog has puppies
No chapaa has chuus.

[remote latch]

hey spooky .. long time no see 🙂 well not too long .. but a while

[queen meadow]

tbh i think to need to find new work because of the border (a really really bad word)

[undone delta]

I propose that Chuu be the name of the meat and Chapaa the name of the animal
like how Pigs have Pork
or Cows have Beef
(btw fun fact that I always like to share, having two different names for the animal and the food in english is the fault of French)

[wispy meadow]

Heck no I don't wanna hunt chapaa :'(

[potent loom]

Why ?

[undone delta]

OH IM SORRY THAT WAS NOT MEANT FOR THIS CHAT

[remote latch]

I actually never realised that .. despite having at least 2 years of French at school - learn something new every day

[undone delta]

dammit i need to learn when to post in the black market chat or this chat

[potent loom]

Despite being French, I also learn every day...

[undone delta]

Yesss! i like etymology in a weird and obsessive way

[queen meadow]

if there are any head of a company here, would be glad to work for you (am 27 an my Ukranian friend 17)

[remote latch]

They have a careers page .. hold on

[undone delta]

i was abt to mention that

[remote latch]

https://www.singularity6.com/careers

[queen meadow]

well for me with a credit with a 15k euro i think not

[remote latch]

unfortunately all local to their office though .. but at least it will give you an idea of what they are looking for

[undone delta]

I swear i was typing for this rn and saw your message bf i pressed send...

[potent loom]

Fun fact: in French the word work comes from an ancient object of torture

[remote latch]

Great minds think alike Arco 🙂

[undone delta]

thats the frenchest thing ever

[queen meadow]

well im more of a physical and precise worker)

[wispy meadow]

Baguette 🥖

[undone delta]

I just imagined Anakerio walking into a room with a baguette and saying baguette and just standing still there

[queen meadow]

Chuugette

[potent loom]

The problem with this emoji is that the two ends of the baguette are still present... unrealistic..

[queen meadow]

but for real is there anyway to get work in other eu or Norway?

[wispy meadow]

It's a pixie sized baguette of course you can see the ends of it
You think I can eat a normal sized one?

[undone delta]

I just googled it and I love how it says

from Old French traveillier ( “ to suffer ” )

[remote latch]

Not for Singularity no, I don't know about other jobs/companies though

[undone delta]

fun fact, the spanish word has the same origin

[remote latch]

hmm maybe a latin base source then

[undone delta]

yup

[queen meadow]

we dont want any hitop jobs just at less minimum wage and a place where to live.

[potent loom]

More precisely it is from the word "tripalium"

[undone delta]

yes but before is from latin is from old french ik

spanish and french share the

from tripalium (“a torture instrument”), from Latin tripālis (“that which has three stakes”)
part

[wispy meadow]

What's latin from tho? 🤔

[queen meadow]

and with that learn new professions for us and/or improve our selves

[scenic hare]

Fun fact, 'The Customer is Always Right' originated from fashion such as barbers and tailors as they are not to judge their sense of portraying themselves. It was never meant to get into other businesses

[undone delta]

i was gonna make a joke but it was too obscure lmao

I go sleep now
Goodnight

I wish I could help but a quick google search for ( Jobs in Europe for foreigners) showed a bunch of potential sites most regarding visas though.

[remote latch]

From Wikipedia - Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area around present-day Rome (then known as Latium), and through the power of the Roman Republic, became the dominant language in Italia and subsequently throughout the realms of Roman Empire.

[scenic hare]

One of my old jobs was a soda shop. I actually had someone argue with me that they were right and demanded to see my manager.. well, the owner came out, looked at him and said "Yea my employees right.. if the customer was always right I'd be out of business."

[queen meadow]

well its 1.46 AM for me. 5 hours till work. i Thank you all. If there will be any recommendations from anyone, i will be thankful. Sleep Well Pallian's.)

[potent loom]

I'm going to sleep too

[undone delta]

night night yall

[celest maple]

Good night

See you later

(Wow so much pings...)

[heavy ice]

What’s up?

[broken remnant]

Boy, as I get older I find myself less and less motivated about video games, buying new ones, investing the time to play them, etc. Palia is the one game I am actually hoping to be able to give a lot of time and years to. I really hope I get into a testing phase to give this a whirl but even if not I hope you all continue to make something amazing for those who are going to be or are parents especially and just want a chill escape when there's time to unwind.

[remote latch]

welcome to the server Claiger

[broken remnant]

Thanks. Been here a while honestly, some months now. Just not active, hoping and waiting to give it a try while trying to keep my hopes and expectations grounded. Been let down by games enough of late

[remote latch]

Ah, gotcha .. well hopefully next time 🤞

[broken remnant]

Indeed. Or not. I just want this game to come out strong and do well (as a free to play). If it has a good community and a come and go as you please play style i'll be happy to support it. as i said, i'm getting older. soon kids. full time job already. owning a home. time becomes scarce, and some games come out with just silly filler content that isn't fun. i want a game i can just bounce in and out of on demand whenever i want without feeling like i'm "behind" like more popular MMO's. A stardew style MMO. What a treat of an idea. But we'll see. As I said. Been burned plenty. And i gotta be picky with what I play

[remote latch]

Yeah sounds like Palia may be what you're looking for based on what they've said so far. Play as little or as much as you like at a pace you like with or without friends etc. So 🤞 it hits that relaxing game you need 🙂

[broken remnant]

exactly. and with free to play, no guilt in having to step away. no real pvp stress or fear of randomly dying. no compulsion to play. and then i can chill.

and if i like the game i can just spend in the microtransaction store as a way to support them

[vale crypt]

sparkle pony $19.99

[dense briar]

I'd buy it

[vale crypt]

Giant jiggly mushroom $99.99 🍄

[dense briar]

Alas, mushrooms aren't my thing, so I'd have to pass
Unless I go completionist in the game
Then maybe

[buoyant heath]

We're both Marylandianers

[runic eagle]

I absolutely adore mushrooms and would choose that any day of the week but for $99.99 I think I'd have to see it first 😄

[dense briar]

I've spent worse on ffxiv

[undone delta]

is a mushroom that follows you around and is jiggly, what do you need to see?

[runic eagle]

The product.

It would need to be adorable for that price

[undone delta]

is a mushroom that follows you around and is jiggly!!

[arctic onyx]

is it edible?

[undone delta]

its like Thor's goats, you eat them and it revives

[scenic hare]

Hiccups woke me up. Hello

[undone delta]

thats possible..?

[cinder temple]

Why wake up when you can hiccup?

[scenic hare]

I did hiccup. That's what woke me up.

[undone delta]

how do you get a hiccup.. while asleep..?

[scenic hare]

Dunno, not the first time it's happened. Just a series of hiccups for some reason

[undone delta]

i thought you couldnt get hiccups outside of eating/drinkin

[tulip skiff]

[scenic hare]

That's the most common cause. If I remember correctly there's a few other ways. Either acid reflux or sleep apnea, which is essentially an irregular air flow while asleep

[undone delta]

i had no idea abt any of those

[heavy ice]

Oh thats cool

[scenic hare]

It's unexpected too! Stare at ceiling not sure what time it is, then you skip a beat with a jolt of your body like "what was that?".. now more alert you just, stare.. then.. hic

[heavy ice]

Do you guys ever do a handstand and drink water at the same time to get rid of hiccups?

[tulip skiff]

Hello! I'm seeing interesting topics being discussed here! 😄 I suggest we move them to another channel, for example, #💬│off-topic-chat to keep this channel for Palia related topic only. Thanks for understanding!

[nova raven]

What would you call a feral gnome/mushroom hybrid race

[undone delta]

Puntafungi I think that would depend on their origin for me

[wispy meadow]

Fungnome

[vale crypt]

I choose Fungnoomes

Ok dev team add them to the list

Oh and add that they can ride armored chappas into combat 😏

[undone delta]

The Chapaa Protection Agency approves of this

[fallen summit]

Happy timezones everyone!

[fallen elbow]

I had these too for a long time... 😩

[lyric ocean]

Morning!

[lyric ocean]

That never happened to me

But I did sneeze myself awake

[analog tangle]

I love the atmosphere of Palia. So, I listen to "Palia's Kilima Village Daytime Theme" a lot!

[fallen elbow]

I can relate to that.

[spring rivet]

BANANANA ENERGY!!

[rich wigeon]

Man, alpha ended and I didn't get an invite. So sadge. Oh well. Means we one step closer to finally getting to play with friends.

[potent loom]

For once the Chuu Protection Agency approve it too

[charred night]

Ba-na-na-na

[lyric ocean]

BAAAAH NAAA NAAAA

[livid rock]

Goodmorning.
Any new info on Palia?
Cant wait to play my new favorite game!

[fast path]

https://tenor.com/view/cant-wait-excited-whoo-spin-dog-gif-17607195

I sense a monty Python reference in there.

[wispy meadow]

Harmony between the two forces
Over fungi gnomes XD

[real frost]

anyone know roughly when the next alpha test might be? Gotta make sure i have a sacrifice ready for RNGesus so that i get an invite

[remote latch]

Unfortunately not at the moment but they do post in #📢│palia-news when they do start sending out invites

[real frost]

[remote latch]

They only just finished the last alpha so they need time to add at least some of the suggestions, or add the next phase of development.

[nova raven]

I need a Palia tea emote, jealous of all these coffee drinkers

or at least a munchy emote

[wooden berry]

Just pretend its tea its sipping on

[nova raven]

This will do for now

[spring rivet]

[undone delta]

No, is your time tea drinkers to suffer, coffee rules in Palia!!

[chilly crater]

Nothing beats a massive cup of tea

except an equally massive cup of coffee

[lyric ocean]

No official ETA had been revealed yet, and looks like you also take drastic measures to ensure your invite to closed playtests. I may or may not have put up a video before the playtest in a form of a dark ritual with candles and creepy music in the background to be invited.

And I may or may not have made it into the alpha

[chilly crater]

[lyric ocean]

"what is better than a large cup of tea? an equally large cup of coffee!"

[remote latch]

not .. the ... ritual ...

[lyric ocean]

Yes, that ritual... which may or may not had your name in it with Open Bracket PNN Close Bracket and later on made it in there!

@real frost https://youtu.be/RKW2XnYcuV4

Enjoy the ultimate silly-ness

[remote latch]

It definitely is hilarious to watch ... and long

[lyric ocean]

[undone delta]

oh you weren’t joking..

[lyric ocean]

LMAOOOOOO

No I wasn't

[real frost]

well i definitely was not expecting you to conduct an actual ritual....

[chilly crater]

what in the world

[spring rivet]

should've done it beside my pond for more success points

[undone delta]

I’m surprised it worked considering you used water and not Coffee the true Holy Drink

[chilly crater]

Rituals and their effectiveness is based on success points

I had no idea

[lyric ocean]

You are right indeed, I didn't but I may have just scored enough points to make it in

[lyric ocean]

Life is just one massive MMORPG

with Perma death mechanics

[chilly crater]

But who are the players and who are the NPCs?

Sometimes I feel like an NPC. And sometimes I feel like smashing pots and spam jumping down the street.

[lyric ocean]

it is a puzzler

[undone delta]

NPC’s are animals and rich people/employers??

[chilly crater]

Either way, this covid expansion sucks

[undone delta]

it was just the devs preparing us for what is to come

[chilly crater]

Soo.. covid pre-alpha?

I can't say I'm super hyped for the full release.

[undone delta]

it’ll be interesting nonetheless

[fallen elbow]

And one hell of a physics engine...

[nova raven]

All the worlds a stage and we are merely players.

[abstract rover]

Plaalaaaiiaiaaa

[scenic hare]

Good timezone

[chilly crater]

Anybody know the cheatcodes to this game? Tryna get a house

[echo helm]

Shakespeare, i like it ^^

[nova raven]

Oof way too real. It hurts

[undone delta]

the cheatcodes DO exist but they have to be set before character creation

[raw quarry]

You have to enter the cheat code as your character name

[abstract rover]

There is no cheat code for the long game of life. Work hard. Put in the time. Save up.

but also win the lottery lmao

[fallen elbow]

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

[wispy meadow]

I thought the English way was to sip tea and gossip?

[undone delta]

That’s the Wealthy English way

[abstract rover]

u telling me u gotta be wealthy to sip tea?

[buoyant heath]

Wealthy is a relative term.

[abstract rover]

true, a person with 1 dollar is wealthier than a person with none

and a person with Palia is wealthier than all

just facts yk

[wispy meadow]

I need a version of the Chapaa fire emoji but with raining money

Cause that's the only way I can imagine reacting to that csr

[spring rivet]

i don't need to be wealthy to give free banananas away

[abstract rover]

lmao

[abstract rover]

yeah just materialize them out of thin air!

[wispy meadow]

You know, a banana flower is pretty terrifying

[abstract rover]

It's Just That Simple! (tm)

[undone delta]

I disagree, Banana flowers are amazing
googles what is a Banana flower like

[spring rivet]

we call it heart of bananana here in our country and we eat it as a dish, we cook it with sauce or as a soup

[raw quarry]

Oh god wtf did I just Google

[undone delta]

I was right, Theyre amazing

[wispy meadow]

Well at least someone had the same reaction as 10 yr old me XD

[abstract rover]

i don't see what's bad about a banana flower.

i just looked it up, seems normal to me

[wispy meadow]

It looks like a mutated monster when the bananas are about halfway through the growth stage

[abstract rover]

/shrug

[spring rivet]

it's delicious when cooked, I promise

[wispy meadow]

You either have insane coping skills or you are a monster in disguise hiding in the internet

[abstract rover]

i could argue everything looks like a mutated monster.

[wispy meadow]

True enough

[wispy meadow]

I'm too scared of normal food to even think of trying that

[abstract rover]

But I won't. Instead, ratato. 🐀 🥔

[undone delta]

and that’s the beauty of it

[spring rivet]

but it tastes like a power veggie!

[wispy meadow]

Still terrified of food

Why do you think I like virtual food in Palia so much? It's not real and can't hurt me

[buoyant heath]

Bananana flowers are carnivorous

[raw quarry]

I would rather you not have to think wierdly of your meals tbh

[wispy meadow]

Too late I'm already in my second decade of existence and the first time I ate a burger was a when I was 20

Was too scared of it to try before then :/

[abstract rover]

what

[undone delta]

..why are you scared of burgers

[abstract rover]

did food hurt you in some way?

[wispy meadow]

I'm scared of all that I haven't eaten before

Yes kinda technically does getting sick from eating new foods as a kid count? It started this phobia

[abstract rover]

Huh

[undone delta]

apparently is called Food Neophobia, is an actual thing

[wispy meadow]

Yep

[raw quarry]

Oh interesting, so you gained a phobia because food made you sick as a kid?

[abstract rover]

Eat the phobia! show it who's boss.

[wispy meadow]

Kinda yeah
It usually goes away if I try to eat something and not get sick right away from it

[buoyant heath]

Both of my kids have specific things similar to that.

[raw quarry]

Huh, so if you face your phobia, you can deal with it?

[wispy meadow]

Yeah. Learned how to eat burgers and some fish meals and mushroom soup over the last couple years
Takes me a few months to get the courage to try something new tho

[abstract rover]

That's generally how you defeat phobias, standing up to it

[undone delta]

what’s your comfort food?

[wispy meadow]

Okay enough of my food problems

Can we go back to talking about Palia? Chapaas?

Comfort food is lasagna... And I have Garfield cartoons to thank for that

[abstract rover]

Chapaa lasagna

[wispy meadow]

So a Chapaa eating a lasagna like Garfield or a lasagna made of chapaa meat? Which one do you mean?

[abstract rover]

: )

[undone delta]

The CPA is always watching

[raw quarry]

Lasagna made of chappa

[wispy meadow]

[strong plover]

D:

[undone delta]

writes spooky in the list of naughty kids

[strong plover]

Is a chappa a mamal or a rodent?

[abstract rover]

Sernuk burger

[spring rivet]

i think both

[undone delta]

rodents are mammals lol

[strong plover]

I... Can it you..

[wispy meadow]

Lmaooo

[abstract rover]

Mammals. rodent are

[undone delta]

[raw quarry]

Chappa is like a capybara but sneakier and slightly naughty

[undone delta]

are you saying that capybaras aren’t naughty entities of chaos?

[buoyant heath]

Marsupials.

[abstract rover]

Be careful with your tag Arco., people might try to hire you to do their taxes.

[buoyant heath]

Little chapaa pouch.

[strong plover]

They have pouches?

[spring rivet]

what if. chapaas are fanged ducks

[undone delta]

Fanged and furred fat ducks

everything evolved from ducks in Palia

the Majiri are Purple thumbed ducks

[buoyant heath]

If they don't, they should

[undone delta]

The Grimalskin are Furred whisked Ducks

[wispy meadow]

OMG OMG OMG OMG
A CHAPAA WITH A POUCH WITH A BABY CHAPAA HANGING OUT FROM IT
AHHHHHHHHHH
DAMN I WISH I HAD MY DRAWING NOTEBOOK

[undone delta]

Sernuks are Antlered speedy ducks

[spring rivet]

draw it

[undone delta]

is an order from the Pond Patrol

[wispy meadow]

I will
Sleeping over at someone else's today so I don't have it today :(

[strong plover]

Well marsupials are cool mamals. Im fine with that

[abstract rover]

Llama Beetle Cheetah.

[wispy meadow]

Was already halfway through drawing the chapaanda too so I'll post both tomorrow maybe

[strong plover]

It's what I'm Ganna use my time in palia in, trying to deterim what kinda wildlife is around and how it interakts with the world xD

[undone delta]

Get a notebook paper!

[wispy meadow]

Why did I read that and instantly think of a crossover game between My Time at Portia and Palia

[abstract rover]

lol same

[strong plover]

Never heard of Portia, is it worth looking at?

[undone delta]

looking at, no
playing, i can’t tell you

[wispy meadow]

I think it was on sale for a while? Check it out on steam and see if you like it

I haven't played it yet so I can't say either. I have it tho so maybe I'll give it a try

[undone delta]

or just wait for My Time at Sandrock the sequel of my time at portia with an artstyle that doesn’t seem like is going to make me want to scratch the back of my eyeballs

[abstract rover]

Why would you want to scratch the back of your eyeballs

[undone delta]

that’s the effect that My time at Portia’s artsyle has on me

[abstract rover]

that doesn't seem healthy

[wispy meadow]

The art style makes me think of saturated pastel Tim Burton if that makes sense?

[undone delta]

it absolutely does
but is worse than it

[abstract rover]

you may want to see a doctor

or an exorcist

[vernal adder]

I think the worst thing i ever saw in My Time at Portia was my own character, she looked ghoulish

[abstract rover]

Yeah Portia had some weird art

[wispy meadow]

I just wish I could change the head shape to be less...... Pointy

[abstract rover]

I played it for like an hour and didnt care much for it

[strong plover]

Huh... That sounds kinda cool

[undone delta]

yup yup let’s hope Palia characters are not monsters of the abyss

[abstract rover]

As a monster of the abyss, this offends me

[wispy meadow]

Csr is Cthulhu???

[undone delta]

are you a monster of the DEEP abyss??

[vernal adder]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/442081265030791188/661870559537135616/2019-12-28.png?width=1191&height=670

[abstract rover]

I am a monster of the Neon Abyss (not sponsored)

[undone delta]

Then you are fine

[vernal adder]

My character looks like some kind of vampire

[undone delta]

Vampire werewolf mix yup

[abstract rover]

Oh dear

[wispy meadow]

If Portia has mods that turn everything into Tim Burton/vampire theme I would definitely use that to play XD

I mean. Who hasn't wished for a horror theme farming sim?

[undone delta]

let’s go to #🎮│other-games

[vernal adder]

ah yeah

[abstract rover]

No! I will stay here! This is my turf!!!

AAAA!

[fallen elbow]

Can relate to that to some degree.

[undone delta]

Waves bye to csr

[abstract rover]

meen

[wispy meadow]

We still here just not for other games convo
So pick a Palia topic someone

[fallen elbow]

insert grumpy chapaa talking about the old times, like the chapaa vs. chuu conflict

[wispy meadow]

XD

I still stand by my petition to have Chuu be the official name for baby chapaas

[undone delta]

Chapaa is the correct name

[abstract rover]

Chuu is better

Chapaa reminds me of chapped lips. Not cozy.

[wind ibex]

Chuu is to Chapaa as Bunny is to Rabbit.

[undone delta]

actually
i’m pretty sure Bunnies and Rabbits are scientifically different animals

[fallen elbow]

Chapaa A Ei, the chapaa who came to palia by stargate.

[undone delta]

nvm

[fallen elbow]

Yeah, they are.

[pulsar meteor]

rabbits and hares are

[abstract rover]

meow

[undone delta]

yea that’s what I was thinking of

[wind ibex]

And both are bunnies

[fallen elbow]

Lagomorphses.

[abstract rover]

Baby bunnies are called kittens. i learned this recently

[wispy meadow]

[wind ibex]

I thought a baby hare would be called "stubble"

[abstract rover]

to prison with you

[undone delta]

I thought they were called “annoying”

[abstract rover]

that's my middle name

[undone delta]

don’t grow hares in your apartment guys, if they breed you’ll have too many little noises to give to animal services
not that it happened to me, annoying little rats

[wispy meadow]

A neighbor in my apartment building where I lived as a kid used to keep two rabbits....
They used to have a ton of bunnies every year. So many baby bunnies it was insane. But the amount of adorable fluffiness was too cute

[undone delta]

endless source of stew

[wind ibex]

If you know the proper process, otherwise you might not have the heart for it.

[vernal adder]

I remember this old minecraft mod video where it added animals like rabbits to the game before they were an actual thing, they trapped two rabbits in a minecraft house and went away for like 5 minutes and when they came back there was about 50 rabbits in there

[undone delta]

how do y’all think Palia will approach animal husbandry for things like, pigs for example where you have to kill the animals? do y’all think it should just avoid that and keep it with hunting?

Morning Xrystal
or afternoon lol

[remote latch]

In Valheim they have a culling knife for your tamed boars ... Whenever I hit 20+ boars in my pen I would slaughter a few .. unfortunately they remain tame when released so you would still have to feed them out in the wild

[undone delta]

so you can take meat out of them without killing them?

[remote latch]

But boy did they eat a lot of food

nope you have to kill them to get meat and fur

[undone delta]

oh nvm i read that wrong

[remote latch]
