[strange ember]

Can someone tell me how to access a chance at the alpha? Do you just have to complete the google doc and youre good to go, or is there smthn else?

[brisk sphinx]

there are 2 surveys, the one on the website and one in #📢│palia-news

[median brook]

[shy pebble]

@finite beacon praying for you as well

[strange ember]

okay, i have done them, just double checking

[brisk sphinx]

alright, good luck friend

[dusty steppe]

[honest sigil]

[brisk sphinx]

[tidal wedge]

you to mate

[deft onyx]

They might have temporarily distracted us, but I will not be swayed in the war

[storm stratus]

[slate lantern]

Good luck all!!

[median brook]

Is EU even eligible?

[echo knot]

that ping for the emails came in just as I finished movie night with the gf, like perfect timing lmao

[honest sigil]

good luck and goodnight im going to sleep ❤️

cya

[brisk sphinx]

i sure hope so

[slate lantern]

Did anyone get it yet that are new pre alpha testers?

[echo knot]

slowly turns on VPN

[storm stratus]

i have faith in s6 to disclose such a thing, maybe they just did that in the first wave if at all

[median brook]

I entirely agree with that thought

[slow hill]

Ah, nice and calm in here!

[slate lantern]

Welcome to the zen of Palia haha

[wheat cedar]

Agreed

[echo knot]

time to stave off the stress of emails by workin' on a good ol' Snowpiercer-style D&D campaign, debating on including the train tho

[deft onyx]

Excited for more people to be in and testing, just don't leave me alone in palia-chat after lol

[wheat cedar]

include the train

its worth it

[echo knot]

trains are pretty pog, that is true

[brisk sphinx]

i'm afraid of this

[echo knot]

might for for some Dragon Quest IX style magic sky train, that was dope as hell as a kid

[slate lantern]

Hey guys Discord activity is not a factor in this wave according to Nel.

[deft onyx]

Looks like Nel said discord activity wasn't a factor this time, so we'll see how many more regulars end up in.

[brisk sphinx]

ye

[echo knot]

at the end of the day, it is what it is

[wheat cedar]

true

[exotic gulch]

here we go agasin!

[slow hill]

Hopefully that means that the channel still goes strong then at least

[slate lantern]

I feel like I’m in a job interview all over again.

[echo knot]

if we don't get in, so be it, if we do then great but palia-chat is still rad to stick in

[slow hill]

Yeah I mean like hey, if I don’t get in at least that means I don’t have to rearrange my schedule to play the game all day lmao

[unreal knoll]

Basement is more my thing

[brisk sphinx]

i think i'm just going to go to sleep and check my mail in the morning i can't stop myself from refreshing otherwise

[wheat cedar]

sounds like a plan if only i could sleep

[deft onyx]

I would do the same if it was anything close to night where I am.

[slow hill]

Good idea, wish it were night here lol

[brisk sphinx]

it's 11:30 pm here rn

[frail bone]

Thats probably the way to do it. Wish I hadn't just woken up so I could do the same haha

[wheat cedar]

lucky

[echo knot]

life hack: destroy anything capable of checking emails, that way you can't stress over it!

[deft onyx]

4:30pm here (Midwest Usa)

[storm stratus]

how'd it go? you can say you dont wanna talk about it

[brisk sphinx]

for the low low price of all your electric devices, you wont have to check your email anymore!

[glossy dagger]

The vote is so close, Jesus.

[storm stratus]

the palia chat changed a lot after the first wave but i think for example mag tardis and madd: i really talked to you more after that so even if some become less active, therre's always the best kind of people just around the corner on this server!

[slate lantern]

It went well! I really felt a connection with this manager. If I get this job, my job would be to improve patient experience in the hospital. It’s totally me! The regional director said she really enjoyed speaking with me and she’ll be in touch. I hope that means I passed to the next round.

[echo knot]

ngl I'm just gonna keep the palia chat muted for the next week or so

[slate lantern]

Thanks for asking. I’ve been wanting to talk about it more.

[brisk sphinx]

true, i stayed away because at first this discord was so active it made me so anxious, but now it's a lot more chill.. when there's no announcement

[storm stratus]

awwwww fuck yeah tophi!! that second sentence alone makes my heart so full. so important. sounds really promising! best of luck girl!!!!

[frail bone]

I wish I didn't get busy so I could join you all more now that its calmed down, but I poke my head in occasionally at least

[deft onyx]

Yeah I hopped on a couple days before the first wave after it had chilled out a bit, everyone has been pretty great around here

[slow hill]

I just joined a couple days ago, and so far it’s been really manageable and nice!

[brisk sphinx]

o another channel passing through

[slate lantern]

Thank you!! It’s so exciting.

[deft onyx]

Good Luck! Sounds like it went very well!

[echo knot]

I can't tell if my Mental Illness Roulette™️ is acting up or if the servers are actually moving again

[wheat cedar]

what was the server like before

[slate lantern]

Thank you Tardis! It really did.

[brisk sphinx]

what do you mean?

[storm stratus]

did you mean to ping me?

[wheat cedar]

like i see a ton of the people that were on before the first wave and the server just keeps exploding

[mystic estuary]

Does previous alpha testing (for other games obviously) help in getting an alpha test for Palia? That's a bit off game topic, just curious.

[deft onyx]

I'm gearing up to start the search for a new job sometime soon, I've been here for almost 5 years and it's time to start looking for something new.

[brisk sphinx]

Oh yeah, in the first few days there were thousands of people joining daily and they were all chatting so it was extremely overwhelming

[honest sigil]

I See you like this job so hope you will get it

[slow hill]

Hope it goes well 😊

[wheat cedar]

trying to join now like i just did was definitely overwhelming but im interested to see where this game goes

[hallow kite]

@onyx quarry
NAH I'M GOING BACK TO WORK TOMORROW
boom boom bom

[echo knot]

if last time is any indication, the chats should calm down a bit more within the next 48-72 hours, although #💬│palia-discussions is usually very active lol

[slate lantern]

Ohh nice! What do you now and what do you think you’ll look for?

[slate lantern]

Thank you!

[wheat cedar]

well thats nice to know

[echo knot]

aight, email filters are set up for the palia email, ezpz

[deft onyx]

I'm a software engineer, and I usually work on websites, so I'm hoping to find somewhere similar, but new. Hopefully with some more updated technology.

[slow hill]

And there’s always here, lol

[reef egret]

Man, job searching is always fun

[slate lantern]

Oh wow that’s a good job. I’m certain you’ll find something.

[storm stratus]

cinny i summon thee

[frail bone]

That's one way of putting it

[reef egret]

[echo knot]

true, off-topic is usually a nice little pillow fort for people to chill out in whilst palia-chat is ablaze with the salty flames of pre-alpha email hunting

ooh! we should make smores

[brisk sphinx]

i came here as soon as the popup happened, it's not as terrifying as last time though luckily

[wheat cedar]

i feel like the community corner shines a lot more with all the stuff thats in it

[slow hill]

Sending them out over a longer period definitely helps with people getting mad about not being invited

[brisk sphinx]

hopefully

[honest sigil]

@misty orbit dont you worry there are a lot of PPL like you for example me. But the community is nice so its easy to talk with them. You will get used to it

[slate lantern]

I joined conversation after the first wave. But I did join on June 3rd.

[echo knot]

yooo wait when did we get ??? that's such a cool emote!

[brisk sphinx]

yesterday

[wheat cedar]

nice

[brisk sphinx]

fenixer made it iirc

[echo knot]

that's rad as hell, fenixer's always hooking us up with the emotes

[deft onyx]

Yeah I was excited to see it! Super rad.

[slate lantern]

Well now that there’s more people here. I’ll tell you my one interview question.

[frail bone]

Hopefully this means there won't be a lot of fights between those who are annoyed and those who were being toxicly positive like last time

[slate lantern]

How many jellybeans can fit in a suitcase?

[deft onyx]

This community has made some awesome Emotes.

[brisk sphinx]

at least 7

[echo knot]

not enough

[reef egret]

What size suitcase? What size jellybean?!

[misty orbit]

Thanks it's good to know I'm not the only one haha

[slate lantern]

Ok that’s how I answered it. I said why is there jellybeans in the suitcase? And then I asked what size suitcase. Is it open or closed because it’s possible many fell out.

[storm stratus]

aaaah people aren't reading the announcement

[hallow kite]

hello new friend

[frail bone]

They never do

[slow hill]

sigh

[slate lantern]

Idk when I read the announcement, it kept freezing on me.

[echo knot]

g'night Mag! 👋

[honest sigil]

Well there r a lot of PPL that r lurking in the shadows and are Just waiting Just like me and if you want we can play together if we get the game

[frail bone]

Take care mate 👋

[slate lantern]

Night Mag!

[deft onyx]

Yeah, they just get so excited, which is understandable, but they really should read the whole thing.

[honest sigil]

Night mag

[tidal wedge]

hahha relateble

[slate lantern]

But I do have one question. Why didn’t discord activity matter this time?

Anyway sorry that’s not off topic. Hmm let me think of another question.

[wheat cedar]

probably because a lot of people can be scared by communities

[misty orbit]

Hello to you as well! =)

[echo knot]

honestly? no idea, I ain't particularly bothered by it but if I were to guess it might have been because they'd want to get a wider catch for the pre-alpha, since the 1st wave was basically just a preliminary test for it

[frail bone]

Probably because people pointed out they can be good testers without being active here. A lot of people found it hard to talk in such an active chat

[slate lantern]

Gotcha makes sense now. I just didn’t realize discord activity mattered at all anyway.

[slow hill]

Mhm. Yeah, people can be really good testers but just are introverted or don’t particularly like talking to people

[honest sigil]

True

[deft onyx]

That's usually me lol, you've all just got me out of my shell.

[misty orbit]

Fingers crossed! But I'm OK with being patient if I'm not chosen. Good luck!

[median brook]

Hi Taaardiiiis

[slow hill]

Same here, I’m not even sure why I started talking in chat but I’m glad I did lol

[honest sigil]

Ty you too Best of luck

[deft onyx]

Hey Lord Berry!

[echo knot]

remember, all good things come with patience

[honest sigil]

Hi Lord berry

[median brook]

Hi everyone ^^

[honest sigil]

Well i already lost too much of good things hope to get at least one good in this month

[slate lantern]

You’ll just be hanging out with all the bugs. If you don’t like bugs… well. haha

[storm stratus]

[echo knot]

wait, let me get the gif

[storm stratus]

aww there there berry

[slate lantern]

that’s it I’m gonna eat my stress away

hands everyone toffee good luck

[median brook]

Thanks Nomi.. you're a good fwiend

[echo knot]

I'm balancing my stress via energy drinks and green tea

sometimes you just gotta straddle the line between self-care and self-destruction

[deft onyx]

You either get in as a tester and get to hang out with awesome community members, or get to keep speculating and hanging out with other awesome community members. Win/Win

[mystic estuary]

Does anyone know how long will we have, to accept the email invite? Or is it permanent...

[echo knot]

aw fuck I got excited for an email but turns out my old VA coach is just doing a competition for free private sessions

[tidal wedge]

Ask me out maybe he get jelous

[median brook]

I mean I kept bombarding after wave 1 I just dont like not knowing

[tidal wedge]

Oh

[storm stratus]

heheh

[deft onyx]

I haven't seen anything posted about a timeline yet.

[honest sigil]

Me too i get stressed and my stomach hurts

[median brook]

Not knowing makes me stressed yeah

[storm stratus]

yeah

[tidal wedge]

So nomi between you and me

Who is it

[slate lantern]

None of us got anything yet eh?

[echo knot]

remember y'all, it ain't the end of the world if we don't get in

[frail bone]

I imagine we would have at least all of tomorrow to accept, for those people who go to bed before they get it. Probably even more time but who knows

[honest sigil]

Nah still waiting

[honest sigil]

Well for me tomorrow is in 4 mins xD

[echo knot]

we still get to experience Palia growing and thriving each day, and even if we aren't sending the devs updates via the pre-alpha we can still hype up the game and help cultivate the community for when it does come out!

[storm stratus]

i regret bringing it up you have too much knowledge already

[median brook]

I'm hoping at least a couple of people I know get in

[limpid yacht]

i must sleep now...give me as much luck as i gives to you

[deft onyx]

Not even the questions channel is safe from pre-alpha invite day.

[wheat cedar]

I completely agree with that

[honest sigil]

Same

[storm stratus]

good luck tanuki!!

[limpid yacht]

thanks nomi

[storm stratus]

good night

Noone is safe O.O

i hope i dont oversee it when i got one...my mail can be buggy sometimes

allright im off now byeeeeeee

[wheat cedar]

peace out

[deft onyx]

Ashura finally winning again!

[echo knot]

honestly the fact emails just haven't changed in the 20+ years they've been a thing is wild

like you'd think someone would find a way to make it not as sucky to send one

[deft onyx]

Nevermind

[wheat cedar]

i mean its pretty refined now i'd think

[honest sigil]

Still nothing im losing my Ming and hope

[hallow kite]

if ain't broke, don't fix it

[echo knot]

[deft onyx]

They've changed a little, but honestly we've started replacing them with other things. Most of my work messages are Instant Messages instead of emails now.

[storm stratus]

changed to browser mail inbox now because it's easier to switch between inbox and junk there

[deft onyx]

Or in some unfortunate cases, they've been replaced with meetings 😦

[wheat cedar]

yikes no fun

Good night everyone cya tomorrow

[wheat cedar]

Night

[frail bone]

Expect the worst, but hope for the best

[deft onyx]

Goodnight!

[tidal wedge]

Amen

[echo knot]

I'm just amazed some of y'all don't just have a natural stress level that just goes past worrying and just sits on complete calmness

[wheat cedar]

i mean like people can care a lot or a little

im definitely excited to see if i get an email but i won't be disappointed if i dont ya know?

[echo knot]

bingo! the perfect mentality

[storm stratus]

good night zeni!

[median brook]

I'm fine with either outcome, but I got other factors affecting why I feel like shit when not knowing something

The outcome isn't the worry xD

[wheat cedar]

thats fair

[storm stratus]

[starts singing manically]

[median brook]

I get stressed the fuck out if I don't know how long my lecture is gonna be

So that's an example

[echo knot]

oh believe me I'm the same, I've just achieved nirvana purely via stress on a weekly basis

[deft onyx]

I feel that! I get super anxious in the in between feelings. Once I get the outcome even if it's disappointing, at least my heart stops racing.

[ocean field]

I'm pretty relaxed most of the time, there is not much that breaks my composure

[frail bone]

Agreed. I'll be a little dissapointed, but im sorta expecting to not get in anyway. I am content with chilling and annoying all of you guys who miss out as well

[median brook]

For 9 months now I haven't had any form of schedule for my studies, apart from like 3 day notices.. guess how I felt about that? I got my schedule TODAY and I graduate in september

[echo knot]

sometimes you just gotta walk into an industrial freezer and scream under the assumption it's soundproof

[deft onyx]

22,993 emails in my inbox, I should probably clear that out soon.

[ocean field]

👀 yes

[wheat cedar]

Im sorry that sucks

[echo knot]

[frail bone]

Make it an even 23,000 first

[deft onyx]

Glad you finally got it! And congrats on the graduation soon!

[median robin]

I can't deal with any unreads, I clean my emails like twice a day

[median brook]

Are you, okay? Like.. do you need a hug?

If I even have a white indicator on discord, not even a mention, I have to clear it

[viscid plume]

I have 6000 unread emails.. help

[ocean field]

I recive 50 to 250 mails per day, i need to keep them clean.

[deft onyx]

I want to delete things, but what if I accidentally delete a palia email and don't realize it lol. I've had this email since 2006? ish? so it;s got a lot of history lol

[echo knot]

I simply just allow my elephant graveyard of emails to expand ceaselessly with no end in sight

[median brook]

You're like a digital hoarder Tardis xD

[deft onyx]

That sounds right lol, I hoard emails and craft supplies

[wheat cedar]

i do the same but eventually i clean it up so it can grow again 😆

[ocean field]

TBH i'm not sure what i should do tonight, i am super awake and now i have to wait for the mail xD

[wheat cedar]

what games you got or what else do you do?

[ocean field]

A huge list of Games xD I could draw something, or do some coding on a game engine i was working on last month, but i also could continue testing on a project that will be soon released (But i want to do some non-workish stuff)

[storm stratus]

oh did you ever post your drawings here?

[ocean field]

yes i did 🙂

[storm stratus]

as palia chat is hectic atm... I saw in the faq about chapaa vs chuu, but where did the nickname chuu come from/what started it?

[limpid yacht]

From what I could've surmised it's something people here came up with.

I don't know the wider backstory to it though!

[limpid yacht]

😢

[storm stratus]

one of the early members is chu and they asked what the name of those creatures is. somehow it led to the community dubbing them chuu and then the actual name chapaa was revealed.

[dense ice]

Chapaa vs chuu

[muted pumice]

ahha! thanks :D that's really cool

[storm stratus]

^^

[violet lagoon]

I like chapaa. It reminda me of chappa'ai from Stargate.

[wheat cedar]

true though

[slow hill]

I just think chapaa is cute

[deft onyx]

I hope they make Chuu the name ancient humans used to use in game.

I know! It’s so good

[uneven sierra]

[round scaffold]

Good watching 🙂

[desert coral]

I'd recommend that you keep watching! Maybe when fall comes around if you feel swamped with content and stuff, y'know? It would be a really good show to watch in autumn/winter... it's got those cozy vibes.

[tidal wedge]

Okay i just saw yout baby einar @median brook its soo freaking cute

hehe

[slow hill]

I’m US

[muted pumice]

yeaahh! Have you read the books? I've only read the first trilogy but I'm going to work through the next two duologies too. The first three are good!

[slow hill]

But a lot of people are all around the world here

[round scaffold]

aye I love that about online games never know whos round the globe and loves the same sherbert 🙂

well. going to die a bunch in Valheim. ya'll take care 🙂

[muted pumice]

that's what my husband is playing atm hehe

[desert coral]

I sunk, like... 130 hours into Valheim and then fell off.

[uneven sierra]

Goodnight! I hope you have a good rest!

[desert coral]

THEY TALKED ABOUT A HEARTH AND HOME UPDATE AND IT STILL HASN'T DROPPED.

I need that Hearth & Home update, I swear to god. >:T

[frail bone]

It better drop soon. I've been waiting for months now

[desert coral]

Same, my friend. Same.

[uneven sierra]

LOL

[slow hill]

My sister’s trying to get me into it lol

[desert coral]

I'd watch a couple beginners guides and then jump in. It's very fun, and I love exploring.

If you want to, that is.

[uneven sierra]

Omg that sounds so good!
If I wasn’t sick I would be having ice cream!

[desert coral]

I know how overwhelming all the games can be, LOL.

[slow hill]

It looks fun, but I don’t like games that are stressful. Have real life for that already

[uneven sierra]

I only saw the show!

[desert coral]

That's fair! The beginning of the game can feel stressful, so... I get it.

[uneven sierra]

My friend told me about the books and I feel eh about them

Totally different from the show!

[muted pumice]

yes and no. The show mixes things from the first trillogy, and from six of crows, and some things from king of scars. so it's like merging all of them in one present timeline instead of split up. so... different-ish but just because it's separate in the books hehe

[slow hill]

I might check it out anyways. I don’t get to do much with my sister so it could be fun

[desert coral]

There's some commands you can enter to turn off the hunger/energy stuff, y'know... you could just float around and see if it's a game you'd be interested in exploring more of.

[muted pumice]

they definitely made major improvements to one character in the show lol (I won't say which, for spoilers sake, but sooooo much better in the show, imo)

[slow hill]

sounds nice!

[buoyant rampart]

@round scaffold Question, have you read the books as well 🙂

[round scaffold]

NO unfortunately we experienced the whole moving company stealing all of our things. We tried moving from CA to Michigan SUPER STUPID after 15 years we know now how stupid but long story short lost all our books....found this series when we came back to CA after not making it for 6 months and have been feeding off of every fantasy thing we can get our eyes on

We just finally got to buy our own home now so first book collection to be had is......

ofcourse replacing my hubbies WoT books.....he had one signed by Robert Jordan too 😦

[buoyant rampart]

Ya that is fair. Wheel of Time is definitely one to have for sure 🙂

[round scaffold]

funny enough we keep finding the books in random places like dollar tree of all places 🙂

[desert coral]

gasp.

Wait, you're in Michigan?

[buoyant rampart]

it is always awesome. Around me there is plenty of used stores which is really awesome and also very painful to the wallet sometimes lol.

[round scaffold]

Was born and raised. moved to AZ got married..moved to CA cuz family....stupid....back to MI family STUPID....back to CA....now back to AZ for now over 4 years

[desert coral]

Oh my god, so much moving.

I used to do a lot of that. It can be very fun and relaxing, when in the mode, anyway!

Did not realize they were separate

felt like I needed to clarify LOL

[wise halo]

it is ok your fine. but since you ping me you have go and buy me a goat

well, I am not sure about that

[wise halo]

well the goat was created from bill cipher

I don't think it is wise to get into any purchase agreements in Gravity Falls

[abstract tinsel]

just my 1st through 56th impressions

[wise halo]

I just watched the entire series this week

[abstract tinsel]

haha nice

there has been some sporadic binge watching of that here lately

[wise halo]

really

[abstract tinsel]

I keep thinking of Dipper as being Bobby Moynihan even though I know it's Jason Ritter

[wise halo]

ah I did not know that

honestly it was great series

so many ciphers

[abstract tinsel]

he does a lot of voice work, so I was surprised it actually wasn't him that time haha

[wise halo]

even in the first short at the very end had a cipher. only shows for a second

[abstract tinsel]

I'll probably go back and watch it all the way at some point

[wise halo]

did you know weirdmegeddon finaly had a different opening

one of my friends even told me there are rick and morty references somewhere

I did not see them

even rick and morty had a reference to stanley ford

in one of the episodes

[abstract tinsel]

Grunkle Stan kind of reminds me of him as a character

[wise halo]

nice

the time traveling guy in Gravity falls reminds me of morty

same voice actor

[abstract tinsel]

yeah

oh I need to go take care of some emails - hope I didn't distract you from anything serious!

[abstract tinsel]

[wise halo]

[limpid yacht]

030 want

Gimme gimme gimme qwq

[upper marlin]

Yeah I need to figure out how to make these myself. Whole family loves coconut.

[limpid yacht]

I just love the macarons

[abstract tinsel]

I've made it with all sort of different sweetener versions, is fun

[wise halo]

macarons are so good

[upper marlin]

Yeah but this is like only the cookie part. No filling.

[thorny trail]

macarons are just grown up oreos

[wise halo]

a macaron with fresh fruits inside

[fathom geode]

hi

[upper marlin]

Oh sounds fancy. Maybe even better than the jam filling.

[wise halo]

tbh I do not have the tools to make it

[upper marlin]

It's odd how oreos are so popular. 🤔

[thorny trail]

Honestly my brother loves them but I couldn't care about them

I'm VERY picky on what I like for sweets

[upper marlin]

... Mixer, bowl and baking pan...?

[upper marlin]

We have similar looking cookies here that taste way better.

[wise halo]

sounds easy I think

I am still new to cooking

[wise halo]

because I live in a group home for people with disabilities

[thorny trail]

For my sweets I prefer it if it's like...faint sweet. Likeyou can taste the sweetness but it doesn't over power you

[upper marlin]

I've been baking for over 20 years... 😅

[wise halo]

oooh nice. that is pretty cool

[upper marlin]

But I really like the basic easy and comfy baking. The kind that can be done in everyday life.

[wise halo]

about to practice and do some pixel art to pass the time

[upper marlin]

Oh drop art is fun too.

[wise halo]

I am not just a programmer I can do art too. I am just not good at drawing human size characters

struggling to find tutorials on that

[upper marlin]

I would love to do some pottery again.

[wise halo]

for ceramics

[upper marlin]

I need more flower pots. 😂😂😂

[wise halo]

I have taken a ceramics class back in high school

[upper marlin]

Yeah it's been years for me too.

[wise halo]

I am in college now since 2013

[upper marlin]

I'm just.. Over 30 yo. 😂

[wise halo]

you are 3 years older than me. I am 27 as of February 3rd this year

soon I will be in my 30's.. I am nervous

[upper marlin]

No need. Nothing changes.

[wise halo]

gotcha

[upper marlin]

I'm just going through the crisis of being my own self. It's kinda odd after being a fulltime mom for 7 years. 😂

[limpid yacht]

yawn still sleepy qwq

[upper marlin]

Oawww get some tea into your system.

[limpid yacht]

Im on my way

[wise halo]

oh I can't post pics here

I wil post in arts and crafts

[upper marlin]

Yeah it's kinda odd that the photo sharing is still offlimits here. 🤔

We have behaved.

[wise halo]

I am new here so I do not know

I just joined server today after signing the form to try the game in pre alpha

[upper marlin]

I have been here for.. What.. 4 weeks? 5 weeks?

When did the hype start. 😂

[wise halo]

tbh I do not know as I learned about palia through a YouTube video I watched

I saw the game and I was interested

[upper marlin]

Yeah as we all did

The pre Alpha happened fast.

[shy smelt]

@upper marlin I like your new profile pic!! Uper pretty

Super*

[limpid yacht]

Did you got a key wee?

[upper marlin]

Nope.

[limpid yacht]

And wee is a goblin now

[upper marlin]

Thank you. ☺️

I have a feeling that I don't get to play the pre Alpha. But I'm happy that some of us get to.

[shy smelt]

Same 😂

[upper marlin]

I'm just not the person with this kind of luck. 🤷‍♀️

[shy smelt]

Also same 😂 I have the worst luck in the whole world

I have very good intuition but luck? Nope

[brisk sphinx]

luck 0, same here

[upper marlin]

... The kiddo is watching YouTube videos that have farting dogs. 🤦‍♀️

[shy smelt]

Hahahaha

Just what you want early in the morning 😂

[lethal bolt]

My dogs are stretch farters. They only fart during stretching. It's the cutest and most reviling thing

[shy smelt]

My dogs don't fart much

But theyre tiny dogs and snore like the beasts of hell

[gilded wharf]

my lil puppy has scared herself a few times with her fart sounds lol

[shy smelt]

Awwww

[upper marlin]

😂

Awww for all the god farts.

It's not so funny anymore when the dog is over 60kg thou. 😂

[shy smelt]

I can't believe I'm still awake tbh it's 6am

[tidal wedge]

Lol

[tidal wedge]

Can relate

[upper marlin]

😳 Go to sleep!

[limpid yacht]

I just want a key to show my friends in germany how the game is

[worn void]

That'd be breaking NDA.

[limpid yacht]

What?

What do you mean?

[worn void]

Not allowed to show or talk about the content of the pre-alpha game outside of tester channels.

[limpid yacht]

Ahhhhhhh i get it

[upper marlin]

... Do I need to move my setup to a closet if I get a key? 😂

Might be bad for my maried life if I just sit in dark closet all night. 😂

[lethal bolt]

A sixty kg dog fart is called a war crime. Just btw.

Fun fact. People can talk about the entirety of an NDA. But not the things that come out of what an NDA covers.

It's why legalese language is so important.

[lethal bolt]

When my dog sleeps, she has to be between me and my SO. She lays down between us and scoots her back up against me.

3 years ago was the last time I spooned my GF and not my coonhound.

[upper marlin]

So clad that our dog doesn't sleep on our bed.

[tidal wedge]

Same

But my dog is a big girl

[glacial violet]

My ex's German Shepard was like that.... had to be between us after stepping on me and causing great pain lol

[lethal bolt]

Yeah my girlfriend is the one who gets the pain. I get the soft back and snuggles. She gets the four paws shoving into her baack all night

But I keep telling her.

This is as much sallys bed as it is ours.

And she fecking knows it

[glacial violet]

I think of those paws as love paws tho 😉

[lethal bolt]

Lmao that's what I say

You only feel the paws cause she loves you so much she has to be facing you when she sleeps

I only get her back. It's basically like she hates me

[honest sigil]

Hi guys

[dim oracle]

aw that is so sweet of you but i don't have a mail yet but for me it would be okay to not get in.
how about you? did you get an invite?

[honest sigil]

Still nothing

Well still got time but i doubt i will get it xD

[dim oracle]

thats true 😄 but I'll try to concentrate on the exam I'm writing today

[honest sigil]

Good luck on the exam hope you pass it

[lethal bolt]

are you taking the exam?

or writing it as a TA

[dim oracle]

thanks it's the first not-online-exam

[dim oracle]

whats a TA? 😮

[lethal bolt]

Teachers Assistant. The way you phrased it "The exam i'm writing today" made it seem to me like you were creating the exam rather then taking it.

It was just my misunderstanding lol

[dim oracle]

ah sorry! May have made a small mistake there, english is not my first language, sorry for that

[lethal bolt]

You are totally fine. My first language is "english"

I put ""

because I'm from sa

so what I call english is pretty loose lmao

[dim oracle]

haha fair enough 😄

[lethal bolt]

So.

I hear you own the bonfire.

I've used your services quite a bit.

[dim oracle]

"The Bonfire" is just the name of the restaurant I'm planning for the game, but I am planning on putting a bonfire in the garden

[lethal bolt]

Oh nice. reading your name made me think of dark souls.

[dim oracle]

heh, never thought of that before never played it sorry, I sucked to much at it lol

[lethal bolt]

You're fine. This isn't an inspirational speech or anything but I used to suck at it too.

First time I played the dark souls games, I got like aa half hour in. Couldn't figure out what was going on and quit

But came back a few years later, tried them again, really gave them a go, and now I've got like 8k hours between darksouls 1-3
