The Avali Nexus

Dammit, cannot unsee bacon-banner now xD

 

FOR ALL YOUR AEROGEL™ COOKING NEEDS

 

GOOGLEY SPECIMEN!!! also, the blocks instead of bars change won't affect anyone who uses the more blocks mod, since that changes the blocks to require bars anyways. Just a heads up. Also GOOGLEY SPECIMEN!!!

 

First:

I approve of the bars to blocks change. Using blocks lets us turn our pixels into furniture instead of our precious, precious ores. So precious. My precious.​

Second:

Icebelly; how'd you get Nexeron to make you that delightful image, and how much control over the process did you have?​

Third:

I can't tell who is behind the Reks/Ice shipping thing, but I certainly think that Reks is purposefully contributing and Ice isn't stopping it by protesting his innocence. Of course, the nature of such things is that the more they're mentioned the more permanent they become. So consider this little paragraph of discussion my gift to you, Icebelly!
​

Lastly:

...what the hell, thread?​

 

Pop Quiz: Why does "fridge" have a d in it, but refrigeration does not?

I forgot you can fabricate blocks using pixels. Not that that's a problem, it makes sense in a fashion and gives players a means to craft furniture while in higher tiers (Since they need iron ore to make steel/iron bars), originally it was just a matter of immersiveness (having to turn the metal bars into sheets to cut to shape)

Yes

 

Abbreviation, probably influenced by the proprietary name Frigidaire . So I'd guess the "D" comes from the "D" in "Frigid".

If you think I knew that off the top of my head, you underestimate Teh Googlez.

 

Don't you mean "your neural uplink to the nexus". "Neural augmentation, you need it as much as you need a hole in your head!"

 

Hello guys Avalis. I've been using the Avali mod for quite awhile now, but joining this thread is completely new to me.

I absolutely love the Avali race. (Obviously the reason why I'm here)

 

every time anyone mentions the nexus I can only picture a Tecarian bear-hugging an avali and saying "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship," and then I snicker at the idea of a battle droid bear-hugging somebody

beware traveler, turn back while you still can

 

​

I will admit that I fell to temptation to solicit it a bit, mostly because I knew the others would blow it way out of proportion. So to that, I plead guilty.

As to Avali arts. I know Avali culture revolves around music, but before the introduction of augmented reality surely they had things that were visually pleasing to them

 

...sure.

I don't have a problem with roleplaying an Avali, but I can't help but notice that its what tends to throw the thread into a tizzy, but now you've forced my hand. This blood is on your hands!

Look away quick, things are (eventually) gonna get wierd.

 

"Fridge" is a slang term, the actual name is "refrigerator", which, of course, doesn't have a 'd'. The 'd' in fridge is for phonetic purposes.

What about the Protoss? Their command building is called a nexus and they have telepathic links to each other. Seems pretty similar to me.

 

Many many pages to read. leaves for a few.

 

well yes but that's telepathic, not electronic, the whole electrical data network is part of why the Tecarians don't get along with most aliens, the instantaneous availability of all sorts of data leaves them with a very different society.

 

It's even weirder now I got in on the Wildstar beta, because the planet Wildstar takes place on is called nexus

 

I wonder if the Mecari have an electrical network

 

They run on glowing crystals it seems... unless you dye it orange in which case they are probably running on AEROGEL (tm)

 

damnit I should have done that! white plating and an orange crystal instead of silver plating and a yellow crystal

 

Weird huh?

 

not that kind of weird more like M.A.D. weird
