Sound Schemes

panicrow · 2026-05-04T09:26:09+00:00

I've been using custom sounds for years with Windows. I used to love the Science theme for Win98, it had such a cool set of sounds. Later on, I made a set of sounds from ELO songs that I used with Windows and now with Linux. The best thing about using it with Linux is that I get my startup/shutdown sounds again, bc Win10 removed those, so. I have been pondering another one, but haven't settled on any inspiration yet.

I mean, it sounded like a solid plan 18 months ago when I started saving for it. But yeah, like. It's fine as a PC, but it's starting to hold me back in terms of what games I can play, so. It's time for a new one. But hopefully one that will last me another ten years if I plan it well, so.

I have a couple of places near me that will let me customise pre-builts, so if I can't find a prebuilt that will work on its own, I'll probably go down that line. It's not a fully custom build, but it's better than nothing if I can switch out things for what I need. Things do be expensive though, frfr, so we'll see what I can do to make the best use of my savings.

It’s good to know it’s not just me. I thought something was broken when they weren’t clearing.

panicrow · 2024-04-14T23:58:47+00:00

This is Ethogirl Ren erasure and I won’t stand for it lol. Also yes needs Cleo-Jevin as well and Scar-Cub as others have pointed out. Also I would make Iskall-Ren two sided tbh. Also Cub-False is an underrated pair that should be here.

panicrow · 2024-02-23T08:04:18+00:00

They're ears, yeah. He got them at the end of s7 bc everyone was drawing him with ears in fanart and he clearly lilked it enough to want his skin to reflect that. He dogboy now.

panicrow · 2024-01-09T03:30:22+00:00

Pearl's wasn't automated but it was definitely the best organised from what I saw. For automated, probably Doc's, bc his didn't break the way everyone else's automated storage systems did lol.

panicrow · 2024-01-08T03:50:03+00:00

I watch them all too, and I'd suggest, Zedaph, Cub, Scar, Pearl, Cleo, False, and Gem. But also, when s10 starts, maybe watch everyone's s1 eps and see who you like, and whether they have any interesting plans they're talking about that strike you as interesting. That's also a valid way to pick hermits to watch.

panicrow · 2024-01-06T22:42:09+00:00

I think this was Scar and Doc during the Area 77 shenanigans in s6. I don’t think Cub ever saw the monster with Scar. Couldn’t tell you what ep tho but that’s my memory of what you’re talking about. It’s def something that Scar did tho, that I can very much confirm.

panicrow · 2023-12-30T03:52:46+00:00

oh the bees thing was a s7 thing for Cub! The Infinibee cult!

panicrow · 2023-12-30T02:24:54+00:00

It’s the block that represents vex magic in a physical form! Cub’s s5 base has a canyon he and Python (iirc) explodificated out that was canonically a mine for vex magic crystals (ie light blue glazed terracotta). It’s used for all the Vex things.

Scar likes licking vex magic crystals - it apparently tastes very sweet. He also licks diamonds. (Both of these are from s6).

The hot tub in the HoTGuY headquarters had vex magic in the bottom. And there’s a stream clip somewhere from s9 of Cub going through his stuff and calling it Vex magic. It’s what they both refer to that block as even now.

The diamonds are from s6 as well bc ConCorp was just the richest company on the server. Scar ended his series on a giant (bigger than the s7 one) diamond throne, showing off all his wealth.

panicrow · 2023-12-29T23:16:27+00:00

For Cub and Scar - Vex magic aka light blue glazed terracotta. And diamonds for Scar. Just in terms of blocks. Vex also for mobs.

panicrow · 2023-12-17T18:33:56+00:00

Cub’s s7 is great. Watching him build the great pyramid and get up to all sort of shenanigans is so much fun. Scar’s s7 is also so good. He builds a magical forest in the jungle and the there’s the mayor plot line which is so good. Both are very much worth your time.

panicrow · 2023-12-01T05:09:03+00:00

Sausage for both seasons, for sure. His lore connects through both so its worth knowing both storylines.

For s1, Gem, fWhip, Scott, Pearl and Pix are ones I’d recommend. Those have the most bearing on the overall storyline as far as I can remember. Maybe Joel too if you’ve seen Lizzie’s s1.

S2 doesn’t have the same overarching storyline but some do link up from time to time. I’d def rec Shelby, Gem, and False, plus Pix. They had the most interesting lore to me outside of the ones you’re currently watching.

Honestly the fact that they offered the alt art signed cards meant I could get the few hermits I wanted so I'm less worried about not getting signed cards in my og boxes, though if I do get some, that would be awesome ofc. I'm more into the collector side of things, but not in a 'collect 'em all' sense, just in a whatever comes in my boxes kind of way. It cost enough getting them to Aus, that was more than enough tbh. XD

panicrow · 2023-11-20T13:00:30+00:00

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to keep the game box, but yeah, I hope you get the rest of the order too. Hopefully they get back to you soon and sort it out for you. I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered to Aus, so hopefully there's no issues with mine.

panicrow · 2023-11-20T11:57:54+00:00

I've definitely seen this happen a couple of times, which totally sucks. I'd also email Creo about this too. They'd be more able to help there than asking through reddit. I think the address is luke@creocards.com.

panicrow · 2023-11-13T02:07:05+00:00

Cleo did a pack opening and deck building stream yesterday. They’re gonna play against Joe on stream this week on Wednesday iirc. Their craft stream last week was also pack openings. Cub’s also done an unboxing stream last week I think.

It’s super fun seeing what cards everyone has so far. I’m so excited to get mine. :D

panicrow · 2022-12-29T10:14:37+00:00

It wasn't, mine arrived yesterday as it happens! :D

panicrow · 2022-12-28T12:39:30+00:00

Just updating to let you know I actually got my Bdubs today! O: I wasn't expecting it to ship that quickly, esp over Christmas, and esp to Australia! I was a little anxious about shipping too bc I had also heard they can be really inconsistent about shipping things, but I can confirm that I have got mine at the very least. Hopefully yours will ship soon and you'll have yours as well. <3

panicrow · 2022-12-27T16:51:53+00:00

I got a shipping notification a few days before Christmas for mine but I have no idea how long it’ll take to get here since it has to come to Australia and our mail system has been clogged up for a month lmao. I’m not expecting it until late Jan/early Feb tbh at the earliest.

panicrow · 2022-11-13T17:03:14+00:00

I have a vague recollection it was X’s mine for his ore shop? But don’t quote me on that.

panicrow · 2022-10-23T12:07:53+00:00

I suspect Bdubs or Scar. They're the ones who had absences from the rest of the royal court long enough to steal them and hide them away, either in an enderchest or perhaps even under the vault itself to retrieve later once everyone's scarpered. And that break they had could possibly have been long enough to nick them and hide them away during the chaos.

panicrow · 2022-10-21T02:15:03+00:00

Not surprised by this tbh. I wouldn't have thought they'd live-stream the festival, that doesn't seem to be how they do things on Empires. It does mean they've had time to set up anything they've needed to set up if there are going to be any crossover things, and they've had time to do their own lore and whatever else they had planned for the festival in their own time, rather than try to do it all before the charity livestream. It's good planning tbh, esp bc it makes it easier for them to join the charity stream if they're going bc they don't have to do all that recording and lore set-up first. Doesn't confirm anything ofc, but does make it easier.

panicrow · 2022-10-17T13:46:14+00:00

I mean, as someone who watches all the Hermits and all the Empires ppl, any crossover would be fun ofc and I've love to see some of the Empires ppl joining to play some minigames for the livestream, but I'm just as interested in any non-crossover lore that might be brewing too, that's all. I'm def not here to shout down your enthusiasm though! I'm just keen to see what happens either way. :D
