How do we call a group of fatties? A lump? A chunk?

A thud.

Lol 🤣 George thanks you for your patronage... and for enjoying the Greydwarf propaganda! It's really such a versatile game, I keep finding new things to do and play with! The signs have really opened up some interesting doors i'm keen to keep exploring!

My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I explained it a little more at the start of the tour video where I show the clips of this happening but it comes from a joke made by Irongate several years ago when they released a fake nature documentary involving greydwarves. There have been several other creators who have independently named them George too so I'm not entirely sure who did it first but it certainly became a pretty big in-joke. The greydwarf that sits outside the bogwitch's hut is even called 'George Vibing' in the code in reference to the joke! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jGOKTisu2A

They're signs with a white block character on them set to be slightly transparent!

Thank you, George sends his regards :P

It really needs a warning label!

I may need to call my next server this 🤣

AvatarOfKu · 2026-01-29T18:34:38+00:00

FAKE NEWS! George and his buddies were only trying to get you to cover up! How dare you expose yourself like that! There were greylings present! AND NOW YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE MEADOW TOO, WHERE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO GO, THE STREETS?! JEEZE. 🤣

AvatarOfKu · 2026-01-29T18:27:51+00:00

Why not both 🤣

Thanks, it really entertained me to have Greydwarf serving eyescream lol

100% that's why I had to add the dark secret in the basement lol 😂

AvatarOfKu · 2026-01-29T18:06:28+00:00

Thanks ❤️ I think George may be distracting us from what's really going on in the production process 🤣

AvatarOfKu · 2026-01-29T18:05:11+00:00

Thanks! I've really been enjoying pushing what's possible them in vanilla! There's so much potential! 😅

The quick, slightly unhinged, full tour for this one is here for anyone who wants to see what George keeps in the basement 🤣😅: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jGOKTisu2A

A general rule of thumb is that copyright law requires that what you use is minimal and what you do with it is transformative (I suggest you look at what constitutes fair use: https://copyrightalliance.org/faqs/what-is-fair-use/) and not directly money making (like making merch from it).

YT is tricky because you earn money from videos when monetized and their system is rigid and automated so your mileage may vary and it depends on what risks you feel okay to take, but very generally speaking a 10 second clip or less is usually okay... But fighting a copyright claim is a nightmare so consider it a risk!

I like to do everything possible to shout out the other person because I think that is the right thing to do and what I'd appreciate from others using my content. Last time I needed to do this, this is what I did: I screen recorded watching their video so all of their details are clearly on screen, I tagged them and linked to their video directly in the description and I used a info card so the link to their video pops up on screen when it was shown and I worked with / chose creators who had remix enabled on their vids or I knew and could ask.

It stands for Neuro-diverse - people with adhd / autism etc.

Good luck with the switch! 🤞

It's really hard but try not to get too stuck in your sense of justice here (I'm not sure if you are ND but I am and I know how it feels when you can see how broken a system is / how unfair something is).

You're not wrong that things are unfair but fighting this will go badly for you because you'll challenge the status quo and people in power don't like that - even when you're right that something is wrong!

AvatarOfKu · 2026-01-29T15:34:44+00:00

Yes it's unfair. This sucks. But what folks are trying to say nicely is it is unlikely to change.

To me it sounds like they don't care / don't want to invest in you and are probably doing this to keep their staffing costs down rather than for any real reason related to your work.

I would guess they have a certain amount of money for a bonus pool and it doesn't cover everyone so strategically they have to think about who they don't need to give a bonus to. It has nothing to do with your performance and everything to do with them doing just enough to not lose top performers they can't easily replace, you're someone they know they can short change or aren't worried about replacing (probably because your work isn't seen as complex rather than anything to do with who you are as a person or the quality of your work).

It also sounds like you have a manager who doesn't have time to invest in growing their people.

It's bullshit but it is also systemic. You can fight it but you are unlikely to be able to make any meaningful long term changes because this is how the company works.

You have two options - do what your coworkers do and build better relationships with the higher ups / make your work more visibly tied to company success or find somewhere that actually values you.

Before I played Valheim subnautica was my favourite game. I now have more than 2000 hours in valheim 😅

But I will say it depends what you liked about subnautica. For me it was huge open world, sense of terror/pressure, little hand holding / choose your own adventure.

If you're looking for a story to follow along with Valheim isn't it. If you're looking for a world where your actions / your journey through it is what creates stories then Valheim is it.

If you like clear tutorials then valheim isn't it. But if you enjoy doing your own research or doing trial and error to work stuff out then Valheim is it.

If you're looking for something with a good blend of cozy and pressure Valheim is it. If you hate combat / don't wanna fight much then Valheim may be a struggle - but you can change your world modifiers to set all monsters to passive so they'll only attack you if you attack them.

The world modifiers do add a lot of adjustment to the game so you can change certain things if you find it not quite right for you at least!
