(SURPRISE !!!!!!) (haha geddit cause. cause the land names nd. yea ok)
Welcome to the thread of the greatest and grandest (jk) session of all time, lovingly dubbed Clustermess by it's illustrious players. Truly we are a motley crew of worthy players.
( SESSION DEETS YEA )
TC > SB > SS > SN > ?? > ?? >
technicolourCapitalist - Muse of Dream, Land of Bacon and Surprises. Derse. smashingBrawler - Rogue of Space, Land of Sunshine and Surprises. Prospit. soothSlayer - Dame of Fate, Land of Conveyors and Surprises. Prospit. spaceNut - Bane of Time, Land of Maps and Surprises. Prospit
For some reason everything ends in surprises. Why? We don't know! It's a surprise!
( IMPORTANT THINGS SO FAR )
We've all made it into the medium, which is pretty darn important if we're being honest here.
Ok, intro out of the way, so down to business. Guys. I'm surrounded by so much bacon, okay, and it's seriously messing with my Dream vibes. I'm not even joking! Like, honestly, I suck at being a Dream player as is. All this bacon is literally just making me make dream bacon. (also my consorts r pigs have i mentioned that ?? who thought that was ok) (hello pips welcome to the land of ur toasty flesh !! surprise !!) (heck maybe thats what the surprise is)

(put one of ur fake alligator dudes on a conveyor belt nd tell it to send u a postcard when it gets wherever its goin) (maybe itll end up over here nd it can eat ALL THE DAMN BACON)
I'm 100% (85ish maybe) sure that everything went fine and we're all good, but yeah it'd be way more reassuring if they'd send us a message or something. (hmu guys. huu. hit us up does that work i think it works) Either way, we'd totally have good classpect synergy if I wasn't literally the worst at Dream. I mean heck, this might be the session where I learn how Dream works, but I doubt it. (rip the dream dream) How are you on the Fate front? I've never rolled Fate before, but I do know there's a bunch of arrows involved!

huu totally fuckin works man i am now declarin huu an official acronym lets do this shit
these guys are kinda snappy tho i dont think i should b puttin my hands near their snouts any time soon theyve got some long ass snouts 2
speakin as a native dreams player i can tell u that shit is hard 2 teach anythin i tell u that is 2 specific just wont work cause its all about ur own imagination thats the shitty thing w/ sburb it makes ppl unable to talk about 1/2 the things in this godhated game like wtf the 1st examples off the top of my head dreams sand and the aspect that shall not be named godforbid this thread turns in2 veritable orgy of omitted letters & shit
my professional advice (as a 100% reliable source u can trust me bro i got like a phd in this shit) is 2 practice freestylin idc if its rappin, paintin, idfc man just gotta train urself to b quick to think of a solution or response
whats ur native?

(huu confirmed for hippest new acronym) (all the kids r sayin it) (also step up ur tiny lizard game i believe in u u can do it) (put that shit on a conveyor belt itll be So Good)
Ughhh, I'm a native Rain player so Dream is basically the opposite of up my alley, y'know? I'm so bad a this whole "do it once and do it right" thing. I'd rather do it a bunch of times and eventually work it out. I miss being able to laugh myself into high stats. (and dupliclones i miss havin other mes =( ) I guess I could try out the freestyling thing, though? It sounds like it could be useful, probably. Man, Dream sucks so much - no offence.

none taken as pantshittingly amazin as dream is i can understand y u might not be inclined to kick back w/ it so easily thankfully ive never had rain again no personal slights here but it just seems fuckin scary like how do u not lose urself in that shit?
maybe we could do like, word association exercises? like some1 says a word and u follow it up bein able 2 link things thematically helps makin those combo chains a lot smoother

I've never really thought about it like that... huh. Honestly it kinda feels natural to just give it up and go with it, y'know? I'm a native Waste of Rain, so there's definitely been times where I've totally lost myself to Rain and just kinda went along with what the Voices were saying. (""the voices"") (that just sounds so edgy) (100% best whisperings all the same) But that's just kinda what Rain is, giving yourself up to doing what you feel like doing and just being free like that. You think you can do it and then you can do it! It's really great. ( =) )
It's kinda hard to explain, really, but it's like... ok, so, with Dream (at least for me rip) it kinda feels like you're constantly on edge? You get one shot at doing whatever it is you're doing, and you're going to do it real damn well or you're not going to do it at all. There's so much brain work involved! But for Rain there's none of that - you know you're gonna do whatever you feel like doing, and it's so relaxing and just... so free. It feels like you can do whatever you want without any real consequences. Although, y'know, there are consequences and all. But you've gotta trust Rain to do right by you - you've gotta trust your own instincts to get it, rather than your rational mind. It normally works out.
I could wax lyrical about Rain really, but by nature it's more so something you feel rather than something you think. It would probably make more sense in broodfester tongues, but I'm really rusty with those whenever I'm not rolling Rain. ( ='( ) I sound like a bunch of potatoes being shaken around in a big old bag of. Well. Potatoes. (potato tongues confirmed)
Word association exercises sounds like the best worst idea ever, which says to me that we should definitely go for it. I've rolled Dream once before and I really sucked (like so so bad ok i was basically telling myself "woah that was cool do that again" all the time + we all kno how taboo THAT is) so I'll take any help that I can get, really. How do I make this dumb glass thing do cool stuff. Do it again dumb glass, do it again. (hahahhh,,,)

yeah different strokes 4 different folks i guess i like how in control of shit dreams makes me feel its kinda interestin how u see rain as bein free while i see dreams as freedom the consequences is what makes it seem so free 2 me havin the voices there 2 just back me up whenever i want seems like itd b fucked up like i cant handle myself??? fuck u neon goo i can do just fine i mean like rain is unanimously the "freedom aspect" but honestly this shit is so nebulous sometimes
guess its up 2 preferences as in, the preferences sburb has made us had by subjectin us 2 these aspects 4 months on end woah #deep
whats ur specibus allocated 2 beeteedubs??

I've always thought that Rain was about the sub-concious/instinctual mind and Dream was about the concious/rational mind, in terms of my experiences with the two, so I guess it depends on what we-as-players find comfort in? We've all got our own freedoms and junk. Even if your freedom is confusing and hard to control. (jk jk) (not really) I still can't make head nor tail of what the Grid wants out of me, but I get what it's all about with the Voices. Having a good time and letting Rain take you where it will. Gotta love those SBURB driven whispers in our head.
(tbh i think the worst bit about sburb is that i totally DO love rain nd the voices nd junk) (like this bs game has tried to kill me so many times nd here i am all <3333 over a game construct that was designed specifically to give me a hard time) (nd to ""develop as a person"" or whatever) (like sburbs changed me nd i feel like i should be mad but im not) (but i am ) (ughhhhh heck to this game)
My specibus is staffKind! Really you'd be surprised what the game counts as staffs - one session I was using a skele-staff for most of the early game, which was pretty much just straight up a skeleton that I'd re-named. How about you?

the grid wants u to take the reins on shit and steer it in ur direction
ehhh bad analogy more like imagine ur environment as clay and the grid wants u to mold that shit 2 ur liking yknow like really get ur fingers in that clay and remodel it in2 a nice house or a fuckin dog idk man the choice is urs it wants u to impose ur creativity on shit altho maybe a bit different in ur case considerin ur a muse so i guess the grid wants u to encourage ppl 2 get those creative juices flowin
like im a native dream player & i can hardly get a grasp on this shit
sceptrekind here, were basically the same tbh more likely 4 me 2 alchemize or find an innocuous double tho which is nice cuz shootin things fulla holes is sweet which is bad cuz itll detect ur slingin shots like u just popped outta the wild west & spawn ranged underlings
if i ever find anythin that could be useful 2 u like alchemization components or just fuckin weapons layin around ill throw that shit ur way

Hey all! I guess I kinda forgot to, y'know, jump into this and say hi. So hi! I guess I was also kinda busy dealing with these radioactive imps. Sorry about that, by the way, this kid's house was completely irradiated in some way. I'm just glad I'll be free of it when my land regen finally cleans it. Actually, that reminds me that I need to find a crystalanth.
Anyhow, having never been Rain or Dreams, I have no idea what you guys are talkin' about. I just know that when the time comes I'll be able to accept whatever happens. Because, y'know, Stars native and all.
Oh! And I've got three strife specibi! I've got hammer, axe, and cannon. I have a really fun idea for cannon since these slightly radioactive imps drop the right kind of grist for you know whats.

Nah, haven't seen the forge yet, I've got a hunch that it's gonna be tied into the 'surprises' part of my land.
I was in fact able to get a hold of a crystalanth, so I think I'll be fine. If shit goes sour for me I'll just space it out or something later once I get a better hang of space again.

Hi SB, I'm glad to see you got through all right! Even if you did prototype something slightly irradiated! (who cares we can take on big radioactive boss im 100% sure of this) (72% sure) And now we know we've got a Space player in our midst - always a good sign. Now we're just waiting on a Time player and everything will be awesome!
I'm kind of vaguely suspicious about this whole "Surprise" thing honestly? It hasn't turned up anything too bad on my front yet, just some consorts jumping out and a couple of ambushes, but if it's messing with your forge then that's a bit more sinister than I first anticipated. Maybe the surprise is that you were looking at it the whole time and you just didn't realise, huh? Huh? (ye ok pullin at straws here i kno)

could u somehow warp a malignant tumor out of ur body w/ space shenanigans who knows
yeah im not sure how 2 feel about this whole surprise business kinda sketch if u ask me like im not sure what the surprise in my land is yet unless it involves fuckin basilisks is that the surprise shitloads of basilisks scuttlin out the woodwork like its nobodys business i mean metalwork w/e w/e tf this factoryhell is built out of motherfuckers r poppin out of places spittin at me from spots i can barely reach pinnin me down bhind cover like this is some sorta fps game im playin sburb not call of duty cut this shit out havent been able 2 advance much but ive got some decently hefty grist bounties from grindin low lvl baddies could try & make some shit thatll help me deal w/ this
it could always b that "surprises" is just another 1 of those totally benign bullshit glitches that just serve 2 scare the pants offa ppls asses 4 no good reason thx devs rlly knocked it out of the park w/ that one
