glitch: a wacky new mmorpg played in browser

agreed. what are both your names so I can send you guys mail? mine is my ilx name...

i saw you in there a couple of times! once in the ice section - my name is deceased ilx superstar kantlips

uh just the last word there obv

Lol I saw u too

i got an invite, i don't actually recall requesting one but i guess i did it when this thread got started

now to see if it will run on .. anything

forksclovetofu, of course.
currently working my skills

I've just signed up and tried to queue jump but I suspect I won't get on until the next go around. This looks really good, though.

can you friend people without linking to facebook? i was trying to figure it out

i've been doing this sence ethe last go round. just bought my first proper house

trying to put my finger on why i like this so much. first and foremost, the writing is spectacular; very crisp and clever. The art design is effortlessly gorgeous and really unique. And the constant flow of new stuff makes grinding not feel grindy. The vibe in the space is astonishingly chill; everyone is talkative and friendly. I ran into a few staff people and they were quite nice.

yeah, they're crazy friendly. i reported a bug and got a really kind 2 paragraph email back w/in 24 hours

any tips on how to friend someone in the game w/o linking to fb? I want to send mails! Also I want a knife & board b/c I want to cook sammiches.

knife and board is cheap, i think?

i can't figure out where to get buns yet, but board and knife are very cheap
i figured out how to set destinations last night and finally started open exploration. The world is actually pretty big!
i just bought a year membership; perfectly happy to support this.
a little worried cuz it looks like they're gonna reset everything once the beta ends and that makes me not wanna learn new skills?

make your own buns! spice from spice plants and flour from grain.

has anyone figured out the hairball miniaturization thing?

ah, i haven't learned that recipe yet. found the allspice last night
i found a useless shiny thing BEFORE i went to hairball land and gave him the one i already had. worked fine.

express entry is still open and i HIGHLY recommend ilxors get on board
http://glitch.com/fans/

Where can I buy the knife and board? I am up on top of the mtn which is mining country.

I got the teddy from miniaturization---got the shiny thing off the table.

I'm in - just did the shiny thing quest. Called myself 'Cindy Electronium' as I was thinking about Raymond Scott at the time, though I'm not so keen on that name now.

i'm involved in a new street project at patchi preech, but i'm too lameo to actually contribute anything

loving the whole skills thing. it reminds me of an old MOO-type game called Avalon where you had to learn all these different skills and they all had different proficiency levels

i don't know how you guys are completing this miniaturization thing. whenever i go i just walk around and there's nothing to interact with. just a sleeping cat to climb on top of, a shoe, and a table.

lol nevermind, i just found the hairball underneath the table!

what skill sets are you guys pursuing? i did the first two learning skills and am working on all the basic cooking stuff (saucery at the moment)

I've just had a bureaucratic nightmare getting my papers. Fun!

So where are these bureaucratic halls?

I think it was Gregarious Grange in Groddle Meadow. I'm having trouble finding any weedy patches to hoe for my achievement.

buy a house. they come with weedy patches.

I'm not sure I can afford that, even if I knew how. I can barely scrape together the cash for a bigger bag.

the cheapest houses are 1,000

［Glitch］ You're invited!

w00t!

tree hugger badge proves that goatse is still funny to me

the cheapest houses are 1,000

Oh cool. I'll see if I can find out how to get one, then.

I am Doctor Barf, and I'm green and level 16

gregarious grove (i think) has 1000 currant apartments. I'm on the 7th floor, stop by.

and i'm only level 6. i would play this all day every day if i could.

this sounds soooo much better than tiny towers right now (*adds 9th floor and restocks smoothies*)

ok i'm in, what do i do except pet pigs?

i have no papers, barely feel like a citizen :(

get some papers. really, the skills you choose determine what you're doing in the game. each skill creates a new quest to fulfill, and the further down the skillline you get, the more complicated/complex the quests.

on a related note: Mordy's Pot Brownies + Eggs Restaurant will soon be open for business. I'm pretty sure I decided to become a cook entirely because of the name of the giant associated with it.

This game is dangerous.

I am willing to expand my black market paper business fyi

do it mang

thanks but i got papers and some hooch now so i'm all good

hopefully in five to ten years, this will be something you can play on your integrated google eYe

The news that investors think stoot's new enterprise collaborative chat platform is worth a billion dollars (!) got me digging around:

These guys seem to be making some progress on resurrecting Glitch-as-was: http://elevengiants.com/

and I haven't played it yet (can't quite justify buying a new game when I've got so many unplayed) but kukubee did the art on this and I love the look of it: Road Not Taken (website / Steam)

didn't know there was a connection there!

Aaand thanks to The Yellow Kid on the Humble Bundle/GOG/Steam bargains thread for alerting me to this being available on the Humble Weekly Bundle for $4.44 (at time of typing)

still haven't played it, will fix that in 5 minutes if it runs on my laptop, otherwise hopefully at the weekend

thinking about this game gives me a slightly sad feeling
also, how much of my life did i give to this thing...

hah!

from the FT’s “six businesses finding an upside in the pandemic”

Discord is the kind of app that would normally drive teachers crazy. A gaming-focused way to chat using text, voice and video, it already had 300m registered users and tens of millions of daily users before the pandemic hit.

Then in March, just as Zoom was taking over the corporate videoconferencing world, Discord found an unlikely new role as a home schooling aid.

In France, state-provided online education tools struggled as traffic surged in the early days of the lockdown. Discord was able to handle the influx of users much better, making it a de facto alternative for many teachers.

According to App Annie, which tracks app stores, Discord jumped into the top 10 most downloaded iPhone apps in France during March, with similar growth in Spain and Germany.

By mid-May, it remains in the top 50 mobile apps overall in the US and several European countries, in many cases ranking above more established rivals such as Skype, Twitch and Google Meet.

That is no mean feat for a five-year-old start-up. Like Slack, the business messaging app that began as a side project of a video game called Glitch, Discord’s founders Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy started out building a games development studio, Hammer & Chisel, before moving into messaging.

The business has raised about $280m in private financing so far and is said to be in talks to raise new funds at a valuation that could exceed $3bn.

It is also racing to update its product to capitalise on the new demand beyond its core audience. In March, it increased the number of people who could watch a “Go Live” broadcast from 10 to 50, making it more useful for teachers.
