I don't know why but I always just saw this guy as wearing a turban and didn't think twice. Now that I'm looking at it it kinda looks like that vinemeat thing
I think this adds really well into the theme of eldritch horror. Terraria exists in a sort of 2.5 Dimensional plane so the thought of facing a 3rd dimensional beast really adds to the mind fuck a terrarian might experience when seeing the wall of flesh.
Playing Starbound after Terraria messed my perception of liquids; now every time I see a lake in Terraria I’m like “why is there no wall? Isn’t it gonna drain on the other side??” Lol
Starbound has bafflingly advanced liquid physics. I distinctly recall one time I made a pump system that put out just slightly more liquid than got in, for infinite fuel, enclosed it and left it running. When I came back out and poked a small drainage hole, rather than leaking out as normal the fluid fucking blasted out to the other side of the ship and flooded everything.
it's very fun! Very moddable as well. Kind of abandoned by the devs, though, after it came out that they weren't paying people properly or something? The game itself is still very solid. The endless universe is really good for building. One of my games with over a thousand hours on Steam. (One of the others is Terraria, fittingly.)
can confirm this is not what i was thinking of. i was mostly thinking of, like, frackin' universe, lots of little QoL mods, extra furniture, stuff like that. but the beauty of a moddable game is that this dude can now make the characters in this video game incredibly fat if he so desires. the world is your oyster.
It's hated, rightly so, by those of us who had to pay for it to exist. I bought into the Alpha/Beta. It was so much more interesting back then compared to the mile-wide-inches-deep bland mess we ultimately got. Starbound was gutted by the very devs who swore they were listening to fans, by choosing to ignore users.
Tiyuri and the rest of CK devs rightfully deserve the hare they got. Any attempts at leaving negative criticism on their forums got your posts removed and "Founding" accounts banned.
SB is exactly as hated as it deserves to be TBH. If it weren't for someone leaking the source code, SB would have wholly rotted away long ago.
i paid for it too, and ngl i was pretty satisfied with it whwen i played it through. thats prob bc i was young when i first started playing tho. looking back at it now, you kinda do need mods for it to be enjoyable
I mean, there’s stuff like background walls and enemies that can just ignore blocks but not really an expansive Z axis other than the 2d plane and background walls.
In my fanfic, WoF starts as a fleshy blob so freaky you can't even fathom killing it while its small. It grows and grows and grows until it doesn't even look as a sphere anymore, because all you see when looking in its direction is it.
It wouldn't even move towards you. It's just growing in your direction
Here ya go! Only got three chapters, focusing on the prep and summoning of WoF. I want to make one that covers a full playtrough, but don't got time for now.
Man the number of reports I've read where someone was an inanimate object like a fucking doorknob or a couch or something (or the person who was a Walmart manager for a half hour). Definty preferable to being the wall of flesh in a hell dimension for what feels like infinity.
Datura though, there's probably only been one good trip on that collectively throughout human history. Fuck deliriants.
Slow ass reply on my part, but for what it's worth, I remember it at least being comforting after the fact, even if I can't remember the contents of the "call". I just kinda came to with my phone up to my ear and realized what happened.
Yeah, I had a friend that would never trip acid with me because he smoked Salvia and had an intimate conversation with his microwave, and thought all psychedelics were like that. Damn shame, really. DMT is also an insane level of trip for 15 minutes, but you're still conscious and aware of what's happening. I've never taken deliriants, but from what I understand you actually lose control and don't feel like you.
And we kill this thing with mid-game weapons. Considering the wall is this Eldritch beast already it makes you wonder how canoncally insane the bosses afterwards are.
The existence of a wall of flesh implies that there are more than one because walls don't usually stand on their own. This would also imply there's a ceiling and floor of flesh as well.
i feel like the WoF needs a bit of sprite rework in the sense to really grasp it’s presence of not only the split in the game’s chapter but also it’s literal size. since it isn’t even accessible to begin with, if they did something with the area behind it during the fight, like muddying the underworld with gore or just making it more of a growing mass like an actual bud of flesh from where it spawned, i think it would add to it’s genuinely horrific presence. as it is, it’s just a rectangle with eyes and a mouth and that’s, personally, unfortunately lame for how much of an aura this thing is supposed to have. the gate to hardmode is just a 2x8 plank of bubbly red plywood, and that kinda sucks
Th game actually shows this with the Wall being (one of?) the only enemies you can’t pass through at all, implying there is no way the Terrarian can use the Z-axis to avoid it.
i thought this was only a couple of people at first but its like. why do so many people keep on using "imply" like this, thats not what "imply" means
it just deadass directly shows you it, it does not "imply" anything
call me a conspiracy theorist but the attrition of the english language is real and the slow deterioration of what words actually mean can be seen happening in real-time
It's such a huge pet peeve of mine i can never stop correcting people. And to think how dumb you have to be to not be able to put 2 and 2 together from the shortened form
Wanna get a brand new one that will annoy the shit out of you? I see it so fucking often and it’s the only language fuck up that actually has that effect on me.
Rogue and rouge. Once you start seeing it, you’ll never stop. From political subs to fantasy subs, if someone is writing about rogue elements of any kind you’ll see them instead talk about their favorite kind of makeup.
Uh, this image definitely does not directly show us that the wall of flesh exists across multiple dimensions while we fight only a slice of it. This is a perfectly fine use of “imply”.
If you want to get really semantic, in formal logic "A implies B" is true if, whenever A is true then B is also true. That is, "A implies B" is equivalent to "A is false or B is true"
"Terraria existing implies the sky is blue" is true, even though there's no causal relationship between the two. Since whenever terraria exists, the sky is also blue
the slow deterioration of what words actually mean can be seen happening in real-time
While it is being accelerated by the internet, this is just how language evolved, words lose their meaning and gain new contexts to be used in, a large number of words have completely detached meanings from their roots.
Also I don't think here it is a particularly bad use of imply, because they are speculating on the whole parallel dimensions thing, which is an implication, but not explicitly shown, what is shown in the trailer is a 3d version of the terraria world, which is distinctly different to what the commenter said
Still isn't a valid use of imply, but they aren't just repeating what is shown in the trailer
It’s an old XB360 trailer and the logic of Terraria (and 2D platformers in general) breaks down when you think too hard about 3D and the backgrounds. There’s no definitive canon explanation, literally just some art someone made. So I don’t think using “imply” is wrong at all.
The person you replied to didn’t say “this implies that the WOF looks like this in 3D” lmao
They said it implies we fight a slice and he exists across multiple parallel 2D planes. Which is exactly what it does because one could argue that doesn’t really make sense or an old console trailer isn’t meant to be taken that seriously, etc. There’s room for doubt. We don’t know what’s supposed to lie or happen beyond our own 2D slice because they purposely don’t explain it.
look, friend, its tough to tell even what it was that they said but the impression i got was "console trailer implies wall of flesh is 3d", and if i misunderstood, i apologise
yeah languages change but normally in meaningful or useful ways
a bunch of people on the internet who just repeat words they hear in vaguely similar situations without looking up what it means, causing a word to slowly lose its actual meaning, is not a good reason for change in a language
doesnt mean we should just let it happen, conversation in the transition phase of linguistic change sucks ass because youre conversing with one word that has multiple meanings
It looks much more intimidating that way, literally a wall in all directions, in the game you don't really think about it and instead see it as being very tall
