[wispy meadow]

Idk why but I keep thinking of dark souls games as a more extreme version of rhythm games

[heavy dew]

Guitar Hero/Osu/Dance Dance Revolution but the notes fight back

[wispy meadow]

Yes! Exactly
And you gotta time the dodges perfectly to fight back

[heavy dew]

Souls is definitely for me, I'm the guy that attempts the same thing 400 times to get a single point of improvement

[wispy meadow]

I haven't played any souls games
So far the closest thing I've played is hollow knight

Oh heck I think we should switch back to Palia talk before we summon Pond Patrol

So......

Chapaa onesies? Your thoughts on that?

[undone delta]

I want Pikachu with chapaa onesie Onesie

[wispy meadow]

I still love that someone finally did that

Chapaa and Pikachu onesie crossover was too cute

So if Palia had a cult.....
What would their version of Cthulhu be?
A giant chapaa?
A chapaa-squid hybrid?
A grumpy fish Cthulhu?
Anything else?

[undone delta]

Cthapaa

[wispy meadow]

Great! Now I gotta wait for Xrystal to show up and insert this into her next Chapaaween book

#💬│off-topic-chat pls
I don't wanna make the Bananana duck angy today

[heavy dew]

I don't even know what any of that means

[wispy meadow]

Honestly me neither
I'm assuming it's an obscure game

[stone tulip]

Is it raid shadow legends?

That's pretty obscure

[abstract rover]

souls games never appealed to me. i just dont get it

[undone delta]

The atmosphere and character/world design of souls games appeals heavily to me
the gameplay, no.

[stone tulip]

The only thing I like from dark souls is the tin hat

Tapatapatapatapatapatapatapatap

[abstract rover]

i like watching my friends play elden ring but thats the extent of my interest in the souls series lol

On a palia note. I am eating eggos. palia better have waffles or imma riot

Waffles in the shape of pies, just kidding they're just pies

It's now 2 hours into Saturday
Happy weekend 🎉

As your not so local time traveler from the future I pronounce tomorrow is kinda chill so far

I have some shows on my watchlist I can't wait to dive into. Couch. Blanket. Snacks.

[wispy meadow]

What's your favorite snack for relaxing day?

Been a bit since I’ve popped in. I miss anything crazy?

[abstract rover]

the end of the world, my friend

[raw quarry]

OI!!!!! What is this song from? Back in my old school like... 25 years ago, the girls used to sing a song similar to this, but the words were a little but cruder lmao.

[quiet wasp]

Oh that does sound crazy and important. What happened lol

[raw quarry]

We have collectively descended into Limbo, we are on the outer rim of Dantes hell

[fathom pecan]

fairly odd parents. It's literally the intro and it has like giant snakes and chocolate shakes in it.

[quiet wasp]

Fair enough

[abstract rover]

well, i woke up this morning with a head full of pois- ok i was just about to type out the whole lyrics to "standing at the end of the world" but that would take me too long.

[fathom pecan]

Wacha all think bout my recent game suggestion? I must haveth criticism

[quiet wasp]

Lol

Sounds good to me

[blissful pendant]

love it actually

[celest maple]

i reacted to it 👍

[remote latch]

ah, thought it sounded familiar .. I watched that a few times in the States when I was babysitting the nieces and nephews of my boyfriend back then.

[undone delta]

You guys don’t have Fairly Odd Parents in the UK???

[remote latch]

Nope, never saw it before I went to the States .. but its a Nickolodeon production right ?

[undone delta]

wait, do y’all not have Nickelodeon in the UK????

[remote latch]

Not before we got Sateillite I think .. which was when I was in my 20s so didn't really watch Nickolodeon all the time 🙂 Was heavy into my family tree research back then so spent weekends and holidays in London all day

[undone delta]

I-

[remote latch]

Similarly I totally missed out on Supernatural ... never caught it on our TV at the right time I guess but caught it when visiting a friend in Florida some years back.

[hollow bramble]

finishing up Our Flag Means Death and starting Russian Doll season 2

[plush zenith]

I stayed up too late last night starting to watch the first season of Russian Doll...

[hollow bramble]

Yeah I re-watched the 1st season in anticipation, seriously can't wait.

[stone tulip]

I have no idea what Russian doll even is

sounds great!

Anything new in the Palia sphere? 👀 👀

[fallen summit]

well, the alpha blog came out, I think that's the newest info addition

[undone delta]

what’s wrong with that

[ocean stone]

I need to make my chaos take people by surprise!

[ocean stone]

I heard y'all talking about paella in here the other day...

My stomach heard y'all too

[stone tulip]

Paella, the Flagella of Palia of the cell

[ocean stone]

Flagella is considerably less appetizing

Palia is pretty appetizing tho so all in all

[stone tulip]

Win some and lose some

[ocean stone]

[undone delta]

agree to disagree

[stone tulip]

👈👈😎

[ocean stone]

I don't know if I'll ever have as good paella as I had in Granada but maybe in Palia the paella will be just as good

[stone tulip]

I honestly don't know what paella is

[undone delta]

everything is better in Palia

[undone delta]

https://tenor.com/view/paella-giant-pan-big-giant-gigantic-gif-5628560

[ocean stone]

It is a heavenly dish of sometimes giant gigantic proportions

[stone tulip]

What's it made up of?

[charred night]

different kinds of meats and seafood, depending on who makes it?

[undone delta]

rice, spices, and sea food
or rabbit
depending where you are

is just really good rice with things at the end of the day

[ocean stone]

Rabbit!

I guess I knew that just always forget that xD I don't think I've had it served that way before

[undone delta]

i've never had with rabbit either just have heard it lol

[charred night]

yeah I've only had with seafood myself

[undone delta]

I believe the original Paella from Valencia is with rabbit, outside of Valencia they make it with seafood, I think

[sick current]

You'll find the best paella on Valencia probably

But my fav is "arroz al horno" which is rice on the oven, with potatoes tomatoes and some meat, it's really tasty and crispy

[patent dust]

im on the weird side of youtube again

[raw quarry]

I don't understand, why would you have a rice cooking machine

[patent dust]

rice cookers are very important!

almost as important as washing your rice. always wash your rice >.>

[raw quarry]

I agree with wash your rice, wholeheartedly Why would you want a rice cooker though?

[patent dust]

makes things super simple and youll never ruin rice again. one of the essential appliances in many kitchens

as long as you measure correctly with either the correct cup that comes with the cooker or using the finger method

[frosty oar]

I heard about Palia maybe a month and a half ago, and the more I see of it, the more I love it.

mustered up all the courage i posses to say that lol

[rain carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/haiyaaa-gif-20928673

[patent dust]

lmao see even uncle roger knows to ALWAYS wash your rice and use a rice cooker

[heavy dew]

I just put a pot of rice on and stir twice during the 15 minutes, I'm just that good 😎

[cinder temple]

I'm glad you're here and collected enough spoons to say so! If you ever get the courage back, there are loads of friendly people to hang out with in these channels while we wait for the good stuff. <u<

[patent dust]

you stir your rice? D:

[heavy dew]

Of course, otherwise it sticks and burns

Brown some garlic in butter in the pot, add the water and bring to a boil, add the rice, lower temp, timer for 15 minutes, stir twice during cooking time. Perfect garlic rice every time, serve with fresh herbs and fish, Mwah!

palia is what type of game?

[mighty imp]

I've recently discovered a game that had so much potential but, sadly, their developers stopped working on it when it was in early access. It was very similar to this one, so I really hope that's not going to happen with Palia 😢

So many good games were left behind and forgotten, and I don't want this to happen to Palia 😭

[potent loom]

*Chuu

[raw quarry]

My absolute lad, even though you're French

[fallen elbow]

Well, the amount of hype, progress and people wanting to play seems this's a promising one.

I really hope so! Can't wait to play this game!

[wispy jay]

one game look promising and playe dthe bet aversion but the dawm creator took off with the money

[celest maple]

Something new? Launch date?

[remote latch]

Nope, just the Alpha 1 Blog update in #📢│palia-news . And a few twitter post images in #🐦│social-feed

Too soon for Launch Date

[candid sigil]

Will palia be free or is it paid?

[nova raven]

Free to play with a optional clothing cash shop. They said they wont be adding any pay to win shop items, which for a game like this, they said included housing items. They said, " You will be able to go into a person's house knowing that they earned all they stuff you see."

[candid sigil]

ie to download the game for free and outfits, cosmetics for the house will be paid in a store within the game?

[nova raven]

Only clothing will be purchasable from the cash shop at launch. They said they dont want furniture to be purchasable.

[quasi arrow]

That's good!

I'll be able to make a concerning amount of one specific item without having to pay money >:)

[heavy dew]

I would recommend reading the monetization blog, it explains things pretty straight forward what they want to achieve!
(for anyone wondering about f2p etc etc)

[weary karma]

How's it going?

[candid sigil]

yes I was asking the game itself if it was free.

[fallen summit]

doing great! What about you?

F is for Flamingo? Only on Tuesdays.

[near sonnet]

not been keeping up too well with palia, still looking forward to it though, considering its been almost a year since the announcement are we looking at a potential large scale beta any time soon? would love to get my hands on the game

[fallen summit]

alpha just finished some time ago and there are more tests coming in the near future. So far there's still no date for a beta though. You can check out the alpha blog in the #📢│palia-news

[abstract rover]

Make sure to sign up for testing on the website. There will be more Alpha tests soon :)

[rich wharf]

im hyped for the game even though i know it will take 2 or more years to come. Any one else?

Course! The more info the drip feed me the more I want to play. That video on Twitter last week of the waters edge looked gorgeous!

[rich wharf]

yea it was amazing

[stone tulip]

I want to see the bugs in game

And if it will be like animal crossing where you can physically find and see them in the world

[remote latch]

Well you have a butterfly net as a tool 🙂 So who knows 🙂

Yes. You have your cosmetic outfits, of which we already have a dazzling variety. You also have your tools, like pickaxe, fishing rod, butterfly net. These have quality tiers, but you only have one at a time, e.g. a higher-quality axe replaces the lower-tier one, you're not juggling both. There's a huge variety of harvestable and gatherable and craftable items that you can have in your inventory. Tools specifically, we do want it to be as easy and seamless as possible so you're not constantly swapping items and switching to inventory management after every activity.```

Don't remind me, our garden is a mess right now.

[stone tulip]

Planting plants in New York doesn't start until May. The foot of snow was one example, the other is its 80 degrees today and later this week it swaps to 40

Now that I'm finally realizing that "Oh this is irregular" I'm constantly mentioning it now

[stone tulip]

At my house Spring is also the grounds for the great carpender bee wars

The casualty count is around 10 so far

🎵 *"Another one bites the dust!"*🎵

[raw quarry]

Bloody hell, 10 bees?

[stone tulip]

Around 10 yeah. I originally thought they were bumblebees but they have shiny abdomins so they're carpender bees.

And they are vicious with eachother

They leave you alone and solely focus on other carpender bees and battle to the death, XD

[undone delta]

Carpenter Bees used to be my friends at my aunt's place, they're really nice

The bees here make their very own mid-air DragonBall Z fight in my backyard. I assume they're nice to anyone else but their own kind, XD

At least I got the new trees planted yesterday and they are getting extra water today .. so 🤞 they'll thank me for it with nice fruit in a few years rofl

[summer obsidian]

I feel bad...I bought my house in January 2020 right before COVID, and outside of getting the grass cut I've done absolutely zero gardening...I need to work on that 😛

[remote latch]

Yeah that was the first task once we had a dry lawn .. it was almost a forest out the back rofl. >>>> psst Palia devs .. let us mow our gardens and create those the light and dark green stripes Ive seen but never mastered

The good news is that the squirrels have helped us keep the dirt area around their tree almost weed free ... peanut shells are great mulch

[summer obsidian]

unfortunately I don't own a mower yet, so my dad does it for me. So even that...I'm lazy on 😓

although I'm starting a new job next month, and should hopefully have more disposable income to start doing more around the house...that would be nice 🤞

[remote latch]

We have a hover mower but I can't handle it as well as the traditional hand mower

hover mowers aren't meant for handling after all. that's why hand mowers are called as such

that's what I mean .. it doesn't feel right .. lack of control I guess

[abstract rover]

i was making a pun on the name. hand mower = handle :P

I spent all day doing nothing and now it's already night time....
I think I mastered procrastination....

[remote latch]

I've done that quite often .. computer on .. ideas in my head .. looks at computer ... turns on tv

[broken remnant]

Silly question, does anyone know when the next batch of invites are roughly scheduled to go out?

[spring rivet]

we are yet to announce a date for it

[broken remnant]

Gotcha. Thanks. Is there a pattern of like once every 6 months or something so I can get a sense of that?

[summer obsidian]

the pattern so far has been...no pattern. Sorry 😛

[spring rivet]

I'm afraid there's none, it varies, and depends on the feedback from the testers

[broken remnant]

Fair enough, thanks for answering. Hopefully i'll get a chance to at least experience a bit of hte game before release. this is one of the only things in the gaming world i'm looking forward to these days lol

[spring rivet]

have you signed up on the website?

[broken remnant]

Yes, quite a long time ago.

[spring rivet]

sometimes the invitation hides on the spam folder anyway, good luck!

[summer obsidian]

The Alpha was announced to be over on 03/30...so just keep in mind they'd need time after that date to build the game and make changes based on player feedback. Their team is growing like crazy, but they aren't miracle workers either...so time for updates should be expected

[wispy meadow]

Probably in summer
Or in autumn
Or in winter

[spring rivet]

[broken remnant]

Lol broad strokes. I get it.

[remote latch]

Yeah its hard to gauge a pattern .. Last Years Pre Alpha only had 2 invite waves and then Alpha started 4-5 months after Pre-Alpha stopped. Alpha has been said to have multiple stages and many tests this year .. so you could use 3-5 months as a guide to the next wave of invites to allow 1 or 2 more before the end of the year ..

[broken remnant]

Did they set a target year for release yet?

[spring rivet]

in 2 and a half years

[remote latch]

The best we have is 2 and a half years .. give or take a few months here and there

[spring rivet]

yea, still depends on the test phase results

[broken remnant]

so practically speaking early 2025

If this game proves to be all i want and envision i'm going to go to nursing homes all over and convince them to set up places for retired elderly to farm like madpeople

[remote latch]

Worst case scenario I suspect. In June 21 one of the devs said this ..
[S6] WhoaNonstop — 06/05/2021 While I can't give any specific dates, I can assure you that we are much closer than 3 years from launch.

[broken remnant]

I just want stardew MMO in my life. I won't even buy other games any more.

[remote latch]

he was also the one that gave us our last time frame
[S6] WhoaNonstop — 10/29/2021 Less than 2 years and 7 months

[broken remnant]

so maybe early 2024 is more hopefully accurate then

[summer obsidian]

I think you will enjoy getting into the game. I'll cross my fingers for you during the next testing session 😄

[remote latch]

But then he is also a prankster .. so ... maybe some leeway either way

Sometime after 1992.

[S6] WhoaNonstop — 02/17/2022 at 5:07 PM
Game will either release in 2022, 2023, or 2024. ;D```

[summer obsidian]

Yeah, Whoa is a dev troll 😛

[spring rivet]

if this game doesn't feature any duck-like creature at the release date, I'd flip my table OK

better have my duck.

[remote latch]

This one might be the best way to view the release window
#💬│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!" ```

How big the testing phases are is a question I didn't really get answered ![ChapaaChuckle](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/908095437863546890.webp?size=128 "ChapaaChuckle")

[broken remnant]

i have a history of diving into MMO's from 15 years ago or so. but eventually the current formula stopped being engaging. but i really enjoy that sense of checking things off a list. small goals. targets. tasks. an MMO that scratches that itch better than runescape once did for me would be wonderful.

Also, we "asses"

Well, we will have to stress the urgency for ducks .. I mean they have lakes and ponds for fishing right ? they must have ducks scheduled in somewhere 🤞

[spring rivet]

if I could only peek their plans LOL

We could of course take the lack of critter info as a good sign they are still working on the encyclopaedia of Palia Critters

Didn't know it was still going on.

It's not, ended last year or the year before I think. Def recommend checking out the first couple episodes to try it out.

damn still no

[nova spire]

You'll know when you get in!

[mild spoke]

yea i just check my discord roles once in a while ..

[summer ibex]

Do they randomly add testers then?

[nova spire]

Keep an eye on your email too! They send out emails when you get accepted into a playtest, they aren't sending out any invites right now since the last playtest ended, but it's something to keep an eye on! ❤️

[nova spire]

Testers are added based on who signed up for Alpha on their website. Whoever gets in is random though, yes! You have to get lucky.

[summer ibex]

That makes sense. I only found out about the game recently on a random YouTube video that auto played actually lol

[nova spire]

Ohhh so you're new around here! Welcome, welcome!

[summer ibex]

Yea I filled out the creator sign up online and thought I best come join the community and meet everyone

[undone delta]

the first thing you need to know is that we embrace Chaos

[mild spoke]

i joined when the game was announced, i am so hyped and cant think of other games for months and i have never even seen gameplay

[remote latch]

Yeah gameplay is one thing that would be great to see for those that haven't been lucky to get a test spot yet. Unfortunately just a couple of video fly throughs for scenic views.

But if you haven't read them yet the pre-alpha and alpha blogs do have screens from the game to give an idea of what people were doing and where as a simple alternative to a an actual gameplay video.

[stone tulip]

🇸 🇲 🇦 🇸 🇭

The sign up button

[gloomy lagoon]

Heyyyy guys, happy timezone!

[heavy sluice]

I have signed up on the website about 10 times over the course of the last year and have yet to receive even a confirmation email. Is this normal? Do we never hear anything until we are selected for a test?

[undone delta]

there is no confirmation email
you will receive an email once you get selected which is completely at random

[heavy sluice]

No confirmation. An interesting choice.

[undone delta]

I don't know why would they need one tbh

[gloomy lagoon]

I think the "confirmation" was the link to join the discord channel... Just a thought.

[heavy sluice]

shrug I don't know why they wouldn't tbh. But I guess most things you sign up for don't give you a confirma... wait, not they do. nm. Hey to each their own. I just found it an interesting business decision.

[undone delta]

why do you need it so much? Its just an annoying email telling you "hey you signed" when the website already tells you "hey you signed" after signing
I don't see why would they waste anything on a confirmation email, is just useless but alright

[gloomy lagoon]

But, I honestly believe more ppl would get selected for future tests. We just have to be a little bit more patient about it. *Patience is the key (said by the firing Chapaa lol).

[heavy sluice]

Eh, you are welcome to your opinion Arco.

[old bough]

Not everyone rembers if they signed up or not

I don't have an opinion either way but I def don't remember

I did put mine in though just in case

[undone delta]

I highly doubt people who don’t remember will be like “oh yay I will now look into my emails and search if I have a saved palia confirmation email I didn’t delete by accident or intentionally” either way there is no disadvantage with signing up again you don’t get moved down a queue or anything the system knows you were already signed in
I also don’t care whether there is or there is not a confirmation email but I am genuinely asking why do you need it so much.

[rain carbon]

A is for Auni

[old bough]

Personally I don't need it, thank you for the reminder though to put my info again

Just in case

[heavy dew]

Pretty sure they mentioned they opted to not have a confirmation email as their studio was not yet recognized as a source of secure emails and they didn’t want it to end up listed as spam before even sending out invites

They sent out the invites in waves to avoid the same thing, it’s likely the reason

[old bough]

P is for palia has beautiful graphics

[undone delta]

now that you mention it
their emails still ended up on many people's spam when they sent invites so this makes sense lol

yooooo we hawt

[warped patio]

Any news on the next testing phase? I never got invited to alpha smh

[spring rivet]

we are yet to announce any date

[spare siren]

They most likely wont be announcing a release date at this point, alpha is a rough time in dev and they'll want to have a solid foundation to show to customer and potential investors. Beta might get an open window, but you probably wont even see that if the devs really want to hunker down and get a solid product out.

Something something delayed game is good, something something rushed game is forever bad nintendo man saying

[remote latch]

We have recently finished Alpha 1 testing with several more testing windows expected this year. Just give them a while to process the last testing feedback and add any new items and I am sure once it is ready for another test run they will announce in #📢│palia-news when they are sending out invites again.

250+ gb with base game and all the dlc

I probably should of said that sooner, base game and dlc, XD

Ark is just broken and not well optimizad you weren’t wrong

still base game is like 120gb lol

Are they making an ark 2?

[remote latch]

[mossy pecan]

Using a live orchestra is brilliant 🙂

[remote latch]

This is where they recorded the music for the trailer - #🌠│official-art message

[weary karma]

I want an orchard that is a live orchestra.

[abstract rover]

Performed by a live Orchard!

[mossy pecan]

I can definitely fish to the water music 🐟

well time for lunch here see all later on.

[abstract rover]

Enjoy and have fun!

[remote latch]

mooooore music

ah its the same one as the one in twitter I think

[summer obsidian]

that scene by Einar's dock is SO COZY! I have watched it on repeat so many times on Twitter!

[loud axle]

YOU'RE COZY

[summer obsidian]

ROAN!!!

[loud axle]

Heyooo

I have been much better about having Discord open on my other monitor instead of disappearing altogether lol

How's the new role going?

[serene stratus]

Yoooooooo pals

[summer obsidian]

That's good. I'm here, but not a TON of Palia stuff to talk about, so I'm in and out

[serene stratus]

I miss everybody

[summer obsidian]

The new job starts on May 16th 😄

[serene stratus]

Hugs Ameila

[pallid igloo]

Hugs back atcha!

[summer obsidian]

Did you enjoy your time off Amelia? 😄

[pallid igloo]

Have y'all been keeping out of trouble while I was away?

[glad egret]

Welcome back Ameliaaaaa

[pallid igloo]

I did OP, very much!

[fallen summit]

We've been up to wholesome chaos, so you can say we've been good

[pallid igloo]

That's what I like to hear!

I got to see some IRL Palia up in Seattle last week:

[loud axle]

Gorgeous!

[fallen summit]

looks wonderful!

[summer obsidian]

Wow, I need them to come work in my yard, lol

[loud axle]

Lawns are overrated TBH plant more flowers!

[pallid igloo]

Honestly, I think those are wildflowers? I guess tulips are just a thing there, they were everywhere!!

Oh also, this was happening

I have found my new calling

[loud axle]

Glad they survived the freeze, PNW had a big cold snap a few weeks ago... snow in April

[abstract rover]

Hey Amelia!!

[pallid igloo]

A lot of people were marveling at how lucky we were, weather-wise

[loud axle]

You are! According to the parental units it's back to being cold and rainy again. You must have brought the sunshine with you!

[abstract rover]

Hope you and everyone at S6 is having a good Wednesday :)

[loud axle]

I wouldn't know about any of that though, it's like 90 here in Florida~ 😎 🌞

[pallid igloo]

Oh no, tell the parentals I'm sorry we couldn't leave more behind!

[pallid igloo]

So far so good! It's nice to be back, and everyone at S6 seems like they're marching along adding new features and improvements to Palia 😊

[loud axle]

Don't you worry - they're moving down to Arizona this fall!

[pallid igloo]

At least you have gorgeous beaches?

Oh my gosh, Arizona is going to be quite the culture shock 😆 I would say "the grass is greener", but maybe in this case "the cactus is greener"?

[serene stratus]

@pallid igloo With the new team member, what exactly does the 'World and Expression' team do? ❓

[loud axle]

They're excited for it. I'm just excited to visit because they got a house with a pool... AND IT HAS A SLIDE

[summer obsidian]

my childhood dream...a pool with a slide

[wispy meadow]

Got rudely woken up by random fireworks in the middle of a thunderstorm so hi how's it going y'all?

[loud axle]

That sounds... vaguely Palia-esque

[wispy meadow]

Does Palia have a weather system yet?

[pallid igloo]

You may recall Eris who hangs out here in Discord often, he's the lead producer for World & Expression. That team is responsible for getting all the beautiful new artwork in the game in all the nature scenes, the interior of shops, as well as the decor and home assets.

[serene stratus]

It rains pies

[wispy meadow]

Cause I would love to see storms and stuff in the game
Ohh imagine if there was a quest line tied to some natural disaster like a hurricane showing up

[pallid igloo]

That sounds very dramatic, sorry it woke you up! Going well over here 🙂

[summer obsidian]

I love Eris! He's the best!

[pallid igloo]

Not yet Ana!

[serene stratus]

Yes I miss Eris............

[pallid igloo]

We took all the feedback from Alpha and are super heads down - the improvements being made in the game right now are really significant!

[pallid igloo]

AGREED!

[serene stratus]

Sooooo another modeler I will watch their career with great interest

[wispy meadow]

You make it sound like you're anime rivals or something

[remote latch]

hi Amelia

[pallid igloo]

Jad, if you're curious, there's also the Meta team, the Cosmetics team, the Gameplay team, Publishing Team, Growth team, and Infra team. And of course, the Art team.

https://tenor.com/view/crystal-amethyst-healing-crystals-gif-24427996

HI XRYSTAL!! Long time no see!

[serene stratus]

Noooo I just miss........doing.....stuff

[loud axle]

Can you explain Infra Team more? The others are pretty self explanatory but that's a term I haven't heard before...

[remote latch]

yeah I've been the one lurking for a change

[serene stratus]

Oh spiffy! 👀

[pallid igloo]

A wee break is healthy for the mind, especially because things are expected to be kinda slow the next few weeks! How are things looking from the lurker side?

[remote latch]

its time for garden work so quiet here is good for garden work

[summer obsidian]

Hmmm...Infra = Infrastructure?

[pallid igloo]

(I feel like I'm forgetting one, which will surely wake me up in the middle of the night like a thunderstorm)

[wispy meadow]

Infrared lighting

[loud axle]

That's where my mind went LOL

[pallid igloo]

I would love to see some pictures if you happen to snap some!! I'm definitely in a "garden appreciation mood" these days

[gloomy cypress]

So...the little fishy in the video is definitely a "bloop" for me. The others didn't name themselves while I was watching it, but that little fishy...man...it spoke to me and said, "Bloop!" 🐟

[loud axle]

So like UI stuff / machine learning? WhoaNonstop and friends? 😄

[pallid igloo]

Perfection

[pallid igloo]

They hang out in the Growth team 🙂 We call ourselves the "Island of Misfit Toys" - while the team was small, anyone that wasn't in one of the bigger teams went to Growth. So we're an assembly of Data, Insights, Machine Learning, and Publishing

We're now about 12 strong on the Growth side

[remote latch]

We're working on the back garden this year .. its a hectic sight .. but the front garden is a bit more packed with greenery than the pictures I posted last year in arts and crafts - #🎨│artistry message

[pallid igloo]

THE SKILLS TEAM! There it is 😌

[pallid igloo]

Oh wow, I am officially jealous!! (In the best way possible.) I love those dark red leafy trees

[lone crane]

Been a while since a ping...

[wispy meadow]

Ping pong 👀

[loud axle]

Are those fruit trees in the first pic? Almost looks like a lime tree 😮

[remote latch]

yeah it got a heavy prune last year .. it keeps misbehaving .. we have a cutting of an old softer more behaved tree growing in a pot which we might put in its place.

[wispy meadow]

What's the reddish flowers called Xrystal?

[hollow bramble]

I think we had this convo and concluded it was just purple flower 😆

[remote latch]

we have lime trees in the some of the gardens nearby but no fruit trees out the front .. fir trees, camelia tree in the first picture and bottlebrush tree in the second picture

[hollow bramble]

OH this is about real flowers!

I was thinking about these

[remote latch]

Hmph those are the Xrystal .. I mean Crystal Lake Lotus

[wispy meadow]

Both are very pretty, the irl flowers and the purple Palia-sies

.... Was trying to go for Palia pansies mix but doesn't sound as good 😅

[serene stratus]

I took a pic of our raised garden beds but can't upload 🥲 Too cold for veggies still anyways

[remote latch]

not sure of their actual name. We've had them for years as bulbs .. we've been splitting and spreading them around the garden .. bees love them

[serene stratus]

🧋 for you!

[hollow bramble]

[wispy meadow]

Are flowers edible in Palia? 👀
Maybe I should add that in the suggestions 🤔

[remote latch]

hmm good point .. make it so

[loud axle]

Many, many moons ago, a few of us "unofficially" named them after Laurisse... I believe Laurisse's Heart comes to mind?

[wispy meadow]

Ohh that's a good name

[remote latch]

yes, very flowery

[hollow bramble]

eat flower

[waxen dove]

Question. Will this be controller supported? I don’t have good finger movement due to a disability. So can’t really use keyboard and mouse as much

[hollow bramble]

I believe this is the full answer: #❓│old-team-answers-alpha message

[remote latch]

Hopefully Amelia or Ashe are able to answer that otherwise, we can all but hope that their accessibility features to be added down the line include something for people in your situation 🙂

[waxen dove]

Ok thanks

[remote latch]

Or that 🙂

[loud axle]

Genus name was... Palius Laurisseus I believe? We didn't have much to talk about back then LOL

[waxen dove]

I know where to look now if I got questions. Thanks

[remote latch]

back in the days when our ideas were out of this world

[wispy meadow]

I think they still are

[patent dust]

many avenues of question answers around here

[loud axle]

Indeed. Remember looking through the wallpaper art and dissecting every pixel? The one with the waterfall and the two people on the path... "THE GIRL HAS A SWORD!"

[remote latch]

yeah and .. 'I wonder if there is some secret chamber behind the waterfall'

[patent dust]

ofc there is, its a requirement in all media

[wispy meadow]

Yes
Always check behind the waterfall
Is very important video game rule

[loud axle]

When there's a hidden chamber behind the waterfall: "WOW HOW CLICHE, SO ORIGINAL"
When there's not a hidden chamber behind the waterfall: "WHERE THE HELL IS MY SECRET CHAMBER"

[wispy meadow]

My rules of finding treasure in games

1. Always check behind waterfalls
2. Always check anything shiny
3. Always check attics and basements
4. Follow the Chapaa (Palia only)

[loud axle]

Frantically begins digging a hole

[hollow bramble]

For me one of the first things is checking if there's fall damage

[patent dust]

i do this too, but its not always intentional >.>

[wispy meadow]

XD
I think everyone does that

First chance I get I jump off a cliff in games these days

[patent dust]

i tend to fall off of things

[remote latch]

And thats why my first character in a damaging game .. is a healer

[hollow bramble]

I've always been split between wanting to do damage and wanting to help others, so my favorite classes in games tend to be the bard

[loud axle]

https://tenor.com/view/toss-a-coin-to-your-witcher-o-valley-of-plenty-jaskier-bard-song-gif-15952117

[wispy meadow]

I tend to go for animal taming classes if there are any
If there aren't I go for the healer

[patent dust]

i typically do bruiser/utility cause i like to support but i dont want to be useless on my own

[loud axle]

Oh dear gifs are disabled here?

[remote latch]

The first time I played Lord of the Rings - before promptly giving my account to my brother - was to try a bard ..

[patent dust]

roan theyve been disabled since wave 1 lmao

[hollow bramble]

There's slowmode here too

[patent dust]

i thought you knew this T.T

[loud axle]

shockedpikachu.gif

[wispy meadow]

I don't think I've played any video game with a bard class specifically yet 🤔

[hollow bramble]

I'm assuming there was a time when the server was absolutely flooded

[remote latch]

oh yes there was

[patent dust]

oh boy yeah...

[remote latch]

The pre-alphageddon

[hollow bramble]

There's a high chance, when playing such a class, your gameplay is full of wild sounds because all the skills have music tied to it

[wispy meadow]

Many times actually

[hollow bramble]

Haha

Some people do not like that

[patent dust]

announcement of wave 1 was..absolute chaos. embeds as far as the eye could see

[serene stratus]

SadHarold

[loud axle]

Yeah it got overwhelming for me which is probably why I don't remember

[remote latch]

I had to move to one of the quieter channels for an hour rofl

[loud axle]

I spent all my time in voice chat...

[serene stratus]

Yes but it lead to the GREAT 8 8️⃣

[wispy meadow]

I just went to sleep lol
Timezones usually mean I sleep during most active times

[serene stratus]

🎱 ❗

[patent dust]

i flopped between this and the old ask the team mostly lol

was easier once stuff started getting disabled

[hollow bramble]

I can't imagine what launch will feel like here, then

[patent dust]

i kinda miss the old ask channel :c

[remote latch]

world war 4 ?

[hollow bramble]

SLOWMODE 10 MIN

[patent dust]

pls no T.T

[wispy meadow]

Hype will be so high it will cause an earthquake in the metaverse

[patent dust]

you ever try answering questions with a big slowmode? D:

[remote latch]

rofl yeah .. we had to spam the same messages every 10 minutes rofl

[patent dust]

you start resorting to reacting emojis and hoping people understand

[loud axle]

Not to totally throw the chat off course but speaking of metaverse, Everything Everywhere All at Once SUCH A GOOD MOVIE GO SEE IT

[hollow bramble]

AH IVE BEEN WANTING TO SEE IT

[pliant raven]

The pond is beautiful, maybe I'll establish a Parish around it one day.

[hollow bramble]

But every weekend I'm doing something I haven't had the timeee

[wispy meadow]

Pretty much everything throws the chat off course lol

[remote latch]

Paliaverse coming in the distant future ?

[patent dust]

just put off those things for another weekend like the rest of the adults :v

[wispy meadow]

Ohhh now I wonder if there is a theater in Palia 🤔

I don't know if they technology for movies but a play or something

[pliant raven]

With enough emotes we can have a theatre.

[hollow bramble]

The old-fashioned way

[weary karma]

Puppet shows in Palia

[hollow bramble]

Just people, gathering

And a designated space!

[remote latch]

technically there could be movies .. if you haven't seen the wow in game movies ...

[loud axle]

Even Stardew's little movies were super cute

[wispy meadow]

Now I'm even more curious 👀

[pliant raven]

I'm just saying, games are smart for including a stage in high density areas for people to mess around on XD

[patent dust]

kinda makes me think of the old runescape movies people would do

[pliant raven]

Old youtube days omg

[patent dust]

never forget tehnoobshow o7

[pliant raven]

I made a few maplestory vids in like 2008

[wispy meadow]

I don't even remember if I even had internet back in 2008

[loud axle]

Candy Mountain! Shoes! Muffins!

[patent dust]

the old music videos people would make

this all takes me back to the days of limewire and cd burners

[pliant raven]

Ahhhh the memories of viruses my antivirus had to deal with on the daily

[hollow bramble]

I remember my dad getting mad I used all his blanks failing to make a cd mix and learning on the fly

[pliant raven]

taking like 20 hours to download a few gigs.

[patent dust]

back when antivirus came on a disk

[hollow bramble]

Or AOL trials

[patent dust]

i had so many aol trial disks...

[remote latch]

a few gigs .. old man voice when I was a gal there was no such word as gigabyte rofl

[patent dust]

also had a ton of floppy disks with random games on them

[wispy meadow]

They used to sell console games on a CD back in my day
And not the legal ones
I had my first pokemon game on a CD as a gba rom hack

[hollow bramble]

Cuz they came in the cereal or happy meals

😆

[patent dust]

omg that reminds me, why did they stop making those tiny cds?

[pliant raven]

My first pokemon game was blue for gba. Ha, I can truly say i grew up with it >_<

[hollow bramble]

It probably got way too expensive

[patent dust]

i only had one and it was a yahtzee game

[pliant raven]

I even had pokemon board game hehe

[wispy meadow]

I am a pokemon pirate for gen 3 to 5 😅

[hollow bramble]

Internet says "choking hazards and various safety risks"

[patent dust]

my first was wolfenstein 3d or lemonade stand on DOS, its been so long i cant remember anymore

[pliant raven]

Would you download a car?

[wispy meadow]

Because I did not know piracy was a crime at that time
I just thought it was normal to get free games off the internet

[pliant raven]

that was ment for ana but it moved up

[hollow bramble]

I don't know if I'd feel safe being in a downloaded car

If it even runs

[patent dust]

theoretically you could download a car if you had the right 3d printers

[pliant raven]

So you would but youd have to ask a lot of questions....

[patent dust]

you can download a house currently

[wispy meadow]

No but I remember I downloaded car games too
I can only imagine the amount of viruses and malware that old computer had now

[patent dust]

craaazyyy taxiii

i miss that game so much
