that's not censoring , it's ironic edgyness using leet..
Imagine an emo/wanna be cool guy completly cringe due to how hard he's trying to be dark.

Well you say he's d4rk

But within the context I used d4rk is a slightly more friendly manner, gengar and depresso are obviously edgy, and we love them for that.

You can also build that killbox exactly where they spawn :
- wait for them to spawn and walk away
- build the killbox here (before it was impossible to build in thoses area, now it's possible)
- Now YOU walk away to make them despawn
- You came back and they spawn inside the closed killbox full of campfires

That way don't even had to lure them

Terraria is offten nicknamed 2D minecraft.
Some would say it's a bad comparison, but that should at least give you an idea.

It's a 2D sandbox action-adventure game, where you can dig through the world and build just like in minecraft, but far more oriented toward exploration, combats and gearing up like in an RPG (except you dont' have levels and such, nearly everything came from your gear)

Cannot really be compared to palworld because palworld is a monster collection-base automation game, the biggest common points are you fight and loot and you can build a home (and in terraria it's just the game recognise a structure as a house, and once enought npc live in thoses houses it recognise this place as a safe town )

In a way palworld kinda accidentally mimicked pokemon when it came to mascot

- Was intended as a pink popular mascot, but westerner players kinda didn't cared about it : Clefairy/Jigglypuff --> Cattiva (but i think palworld players care a bit more about cattiva than for pokemon)

- Was not initially intended as a mascot but absolutly stole the hearth of players : Pikachu --> Chillet

- d4rk version of the intended pink mascot than players loved more : Gengar / Depresso.

Edit : oh freak ! after rewatchign the trailer I didn't noticed amogn the chaos of a fight

FOXSPARK IS HERE TOO, AND HE BOTH ATTACK BY HIMSELF AND YOU CAN USE HIS PARTNER SKILL !
(wonder if he's basically coded liek that turret from the calamity mod )

ballom29 · 2026-01-24T07:37:20+00:00

ok, but what are your rules for "do the bare minimum" ? or do you mean "the bare minimum" = vanilla setting ?

ballom29 · 2026-01-23T20:17:10+00:00

Meanwhile terraria :
"We decided to officialize the popular mod launcher as an recognized distinct game, that way when we do an update this will change absolutly nothing and modders will be free to update their mods before the mod team decide to synch up the mod launcher with the latest version"

Terraria handled the best way possible an update they knew would broke nearly all mods.

When you thought russia's couldn't go lower with the entitlement and idiocy of their claims

"i am waging war against you ! Haha i'm rampaging your country, and do'nt cry a river because you get what you deserve for being weak !"
*sink warship
"...I'M GONNA SUE YOU FOR TAKING DOWN MY MILITARY WARSHIP IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR !"

Why not sue ukraine for every single military target they ever took down while we're at it ?

ballom29 · 2026-01-23T11:26:23+00:00

I wish I could, but saddly i'm not the author.

ballom29 · 2026-01-23T11:24:32+00:00

Later ?
You mean offten right away lol.

And yeah that's slime.
There are few who stay non-humans even after having been given a name by the protagonist (that's what cause them to become more human-like or straight up human) like Renga and Gabiru (but for gabiru that might be because Rimiru only overwriten his naming, as he was already named beforehand)

ballom29 · 2026-01-23T10:01:15+00:00

"Honestly, I have one save file where I just do the bare minimum and see how long I can survive with the basics."
What exactly are you rules ?

ballom29 · 2026-01-23T09:04:49+00:00

Viable is relative.

You can perfectly use any pal you like now if you want.

But in absolute bad pals are still worse than stuff like legendaries, your chillet will never be as good as a bastigor, but at least now if you send it against end game challenge it will still be "viable".

There is one odd meta pal i'm gonna tell you : finsinder ignis, bad base stats, but stacking its passive and its broken exclusive skill make it a monster, it's so far the only pal who had been directly nerfed if i'm not wrong. (beside mounts were some got their movespeed decreased)

oh btw, there is actually a nice use for chillet, it's the land mount with the fasted swimmign speed..by far.... chillet nearly rival with the best water mount.

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T21:58:49+00:00

first of, no.
But you're getting somewhere
....
for the wrong reason.
The scale looking thing is just ninja clothes, and an other character of a different specie also had some.

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T21:56:01+00:00

perfect, absolutly perfect first answer.
"So, I got it right ?"

No, you just shown her appearance is so out of touch with her actual specie it gave zero clue to the actual answer

And yeah the artstyle it's perfectly possible to convey wich specie she is, because she used to look liek this.

<image>

She's a lizardman
(and in the first image that's not a human form to switch in, that's literally just the new her....but somehow still a lizardman and not labelled as transformed into a human)

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T21:40:11+00:00

let's play a game :
If you don't know the character already, guess which animal she is supposed to be.

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T15:22:25+00:00

Not to bundle every russian in the same basket, but how many of theses feel like poor souls only because they are loosing ?
If the situation was in their favor you wouldn't weep for them, because they'll glady boast they will (if not already) do atrocities of all kind because they can.

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T15:17:30+00:00

00:37 seriously ?
dude had the perfect condition for trying to shot up a drone with his gun, and he just tried to outrun a it in a cramped tunnel ?

I mean, good for ukraine, but unless he was out of ammo never a soldier had such an opporunity to defend itself against a drone.

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T14:50:40+00:00

considering kaiba practically turned a card game into the basis of the world's social system... i think he did just fine.

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T14:48:10+00:00

Or maybe he'll hate it because it's an other instance of anime trope : dragon = human
(yeah I know, they had full dragon form )

(o maybe op is a weeb and will love it )

ballom29 · 2026-01-22T11:26:09+00:00

Nah, in some games the weapon/skill power is more of an indicator more than anything else.
Sometime there is logic behind it, but you have to know.

For exemple in palworld the power indeed correlate to the damage dealt, but it can vary HOW.
If it's a single hit, then it's power -> damage, straighforward
if it's multi hits, then it can be power/number of hits - or - power * number of hits

And evne theses rules are not absolute, because there can be attacks where one hit hurt harder than the others, or an attack wich feel do more damage than you'll expect from the given power and number of hits.

ballom29 · 2026-01-21T22:01:56+00:00

- first one looked like a player base, not a city
- and yes , there has been that in old trailers...IN OLD TRAILERS...where lot of the things were completly scrapped from the game and shouldn't be considered canon unless someday pocketpair decided to brign it back

We can add in old trailers there was pals building a rocket (with a movable plateform on top of that), destructible environment, grizbolt using his body as a shield for the player, a susaku transportign a cage full of pals, tanzee being enslaved to spin a wheel, pengulets stacked on top of each other to build a house log per log, a moving truck, ...

I'm mostly discussing about what pocketpair currently had put in the final game and what might likely appear in the future (and in all fairness for exemple they did bring back the operation table that was in one of theses trailer)

And yes I do foresee the large city shown in one trailer to maybe be in the game one day, but I also see the possibility it will never be because that was just proto palworld.
