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
― Nhex, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 13:19 (twelve years ago) link
i've been doing this sence ethe last go round. just bought my first proper house
― remy bean, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 13:46 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― brooklyn's complicated relationship with bacon (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 13 July 2011 14:52 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, they're crazy friendly. i reported a bug and got a really kind 2 paragraph email back w/in 24 hours
― remy bean, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Euler, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 14:56 (twelve years ago) link
knife and board is cheap, i think?
― remy bean, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
i can't figure out where to get buns yet, but board and knife are very cheapi 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?
― brooklyn's complicated relationship with bacon (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 13 July 2011 15:07 (twelve years ago) link
make your own buns! spice from spice plants and flour from grain.
has anyone figured out the hairball miniaturization thing?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 15:19 (twelve years ago) link
ah, i haven't learned that recipe yet. found the allspice last nighti 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 boardhttp://glitch.com/fans/

Where can I buy the knife and board? I am up on top of the mtn which is mining country.
― Euler, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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
― Mordy, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 13 July 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
lol nevermind, i just found the hairball underneath the table!

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

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.

as you level up your skills, your efficiency collecting levels up as well. i harvest 12 eggs each turn, atm
― remy bean, Thursday, 14 July 2011 02:54 (twelve years ago) link
So can you level every skill or are you at some point "committed" to a given profession a la wow

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

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.
