[00:44:11] ThingsAreMoving \o/ fixed roof! Hopefully you still have all of your arms and legs.
[01:11:05] KeefMcDerpface Oh damn, for real? That was quick.

[02:57:09] AbstractIndigo Tom with the Ship of Theseus 2026 home speedrun. This time next year you'll have rebuilt your entire house!
[02:57:52] Dadrobit Grats!
[03:14:39] AbstractIndigo What dark magic did you work to get it done so quickly? :ctwokinds-flosquint:
[12:08:15] ZapiliDver :czapilidver-katsmug: *[New Patreon Post: Desert Vacation 2 - https://www.patreon.com/twokinds/posts/desert-vacation-163810192]
[12:13:59] AbstractIndigo So for their next destination Adira is picking snep village while Warren freezes, right?
[12:25:54] Twokinds I'm sure Adira would appreciate that
[12:26:59] AbstractIndigo Even bigger twist: it was Addy who wanted to go to the drylands to begin with. #warrendidnothingwrong
[12:31:47] AbstractIndigo The extra detail you added in the final version is very cool Tom btw. That's a lot of extra BG work.
[12:35:27] Twokinds Yeah I wasn't happy with the original so I decided to just redo it from scratch when I had more time
[12:35:38] Twokinds That's why I put out the Flora and Trace one instead on Monday
[12:40:23] AbstractIndigo I thought the original was pretty fun. The main concept execution which you kept for v2 was very strong. The additional details add a lot to the city feeling.
[12:40:49] AbstractIndigo And this is turning into another essay isn't it?
[13:08:40] ThingsAreMoving :ctwokinds-maddiessparkles: wow, there's a lot going on in that background. Love the concept of magical floaty rocks used for shade sails
[13:10:54] Twokinds I have this idea that there's some domesticated creature that they get large amounts of silk and dyes from, and that's their primary export. So much so they've got silk banners running throughout the city.
[13:11:24] Twokinds It shades from the sun and also, they're cats, so they climb them and use them as bridges between buildings.
[13:14:02] ThingsAreMoving :ctwokinds-floeyes: domesticated desert spiders of some kind?
[13:16:25] AbstractIndigo Good thing silk has a pretty high tensile strength if lynxes use them to act like cats
[13:18:41] ThingsAreMoving Them having exclusive luxurious good makes me think of an early Civ game, where you can leverage unique goods to grow your country and in some cases pay off potential raiders.
[13:22:49] AbstractIndigo The chemist in me says dyes would have to be inorganic to avoid being broken down by the desert sun. But it's also a world of talking anthropomorphic animals with magic and stuff.
[13:25:48] AbstractIndigo In any case sounds like cool world building if you formalise it Tom.
[13:25:53] ThingsAreMoving Magic is a fun thing. Bet at some point it'd be more cost effective to enchant the fabric with an illusion rather than go through a process of dyeing
[13:27:21] AbstractIndigo RPG logic has also taught me that anything enchanted sells for a fortune so that fits.
[13:35:50] IronHorseComics Adira gets to cuddle her crush to give him warmth, it's a win-win
[14:06:33] bluehairedshepsky Tom, does the color also magically change or mask the scent of the wearer? Anyone with a sharp enough nose and familiarity with someone who uses a collar would likely be to determine that they're the same person.
[14:06:53] bluehairedshepsky Collar*
[14:11:16] Twokinds I imagine scent would be included, that's pretty important.
[15:33:14] AbstractIndigo Gotta be a pretty crazy sensory shock to put that thing on and have smell / hearing / night vision turned up 10x as well.
[18:36:42] KeefMcDerpface And a muzzle suddenly in front of you, 24/7.
[18:39:52] KeefMcDerpface And a tail to worry about when closing doors behind you.
[18:43:45] AbstractIndigo I had some really silly idea a while back that modern AU waterslides would have super prominent warnings about tail injuries if you broke the rules.
[18:44:02] AbstractIndigo Serious business
[18:44:10] AbstractIndigo As are automatic doors
[18:52:12] KeefMcDerpface You say that yet we have this: https://www.patreon.com/twokinds/posts/king-roberto-49757069 Which would break safety codes in our universe, I believe.
[18:55:29] InTheLionsDen We don't have the magic safety features or whatever™ they have.
[18:57:18] KeefMcDerpface yep
[18:57:55] KeefMcDerpface Also Re-Life.
[18:59:41] AbstractIndigo Zen's definitely got to be breaking the rules there
[18:59:59] AbstractIndigo Oh and also whoever designed the death trap water slide
[19:00:10] AbstractIndigo But mostly Zen for not waiting until the slide is clear.
[19:00:44] AbstractIndigo And actually probably Raine now I think about it. I deeply question the safety culture here.
[19:02:01] Ordithus Zen's flat butt makes him super fast on slides.
[19:02:08] InTheLionsDen Again, you are prescribing our rules and regulations on them. They might not have a babysitting culture. They might fully believe in the Darwinian approach.
[19:02:51] KeefMcDerpface :ptv-laugh: gawd damn
[19:06:36] KeefMcDerpface "Whelp, he didn't renew his Re-Life. Time to hold the funeral." *sad howling intensifies*
[19:13:02] AbstractIndigo I'm not sure a Darwinian approach to running a water park is the best business strategy Lions. Just not feeling the "family friendly vibe" there.
[19:13:37] AbstractIndigo "King Roberto Water Park - You might make it out alive" feels like that might backfire as a marketing strategy
[19:16:27] KeefMcDerpface Don't wanna traumatize the kids.
[19:16:39] KeefMcDerpface :ptv-snicker: But trauma builds character.
[19:23:43] InTheLionsDen What part of, it's a sketch joke, don't you understand? You are being too serious. Zen following closely is just for keeping the two characters in the same scene and the gap in the loop is just a ridiculous and funny background joke.
[19:29:13] AbstractIndigo Oh I get it completely, I'm just being mock serious. All good fun.
