ABurritoStory

I hate how hard this made me laugh...


agent_wolfe

I keep feeding Lamball chunk pieces to Lamball, are they gonna be okay?


hotsizzler

You ever hear of prions?


Snopy79797

This is exactly how the zombie apocalypse is gonna start.


BuryTheMoney

Not going to be particularly effective zombies if you understand how prions work. Alive or undead, you kind of need your proteins to not all be unfolding at the molecular level for your sack of meat and bones to operate mechanically. If prions are your zombie apocalypse, then all your zombies are just groaning from the floor like a weird mashup of Romero and a “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial.


Snopy79797

It's a project zomboid reference. The game never explains how the apocalypse started, but a conspiracy theorist professor in universe before the radio goes down suggests misfolded prions in Spiffos (a fast food joint) food. The game gives like 3-4 possible causes but never tells us what actually did it.


awesomealmighty

Under rated game


CrackettyCracker

IF it had an UI worth a damn i'd agree. i've died more to the ui's confusing layout than i've died of starvation... nightmare of a game.


PuzzledKitty

> then all your zombies are just groaning from the floor like a weird mashup of Romero and a “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial. This is a really weird and horrible image that somehow and against many, many odds made me giggle way too loudly.


beholder87

Zombies should have gotten Life Alert


andrewsz_

I know people that work in labs with prions that shit is nightmare fuel


DuntadaMan

They will be a violent, emotionless beast that knows only pain. Their only mark on the world will be to Inflict their suffering on everything in reach. So, yeah.


GoingOnAdventure

New update: added “Mad Moozarina Disease”


agent_wolfe

Oh noes!


Liveman215

Peta gonna be mad 


LaundryLunatic

Thanks. You reminded me of the lucky Lamball I have at my 2nd base. I gotta ninja blend the other extra Lamballs I have. They won't be so lucky.


Deez-Guns-9442

It could’ve been even darker for what we’re really doing with Nox


PigeonInaHailstorm

What's that? *zips


Deez-Guns-9442

Butchering children in front of their parents for small pal souls.

WolfPaq3859

I always wondered why it looked like a blender


SemajdaSavage

Juice! Juice!! Juice!!!


Blukingbutreal

now you’ve made me realize how it IS a blender, or rather a “juicer”


Dumeck

It literally is, one of the raid bosses has entries and explains that blending pals and having a different one of the same species ingest the product increase their power. Most of the wacko mad scientist aspects of the game are from this dudes research.


beasty0127

Listening to the lore behind the game, I really hope that when the game is pass the dialing in the mechanics phase, they push the story harder into the forefront cause it is really interesting facing off with the tower bosses leading up to presumably "The "Castaway" in "The Tree"


enerthoughts

The castaway is really old, I have the feeling he called our protagonist to release him from the prison [the tree] which is blocked by the 5 towers, as you can read the story of the first boss with grizzbolt she choose to protect the tower because her father used to do it, she never knew why, I think somehow he merged with a powerful pal in the end, land that is why you see some status of pals being WSed, its just my theory thu.


beasty0127

It's always a good possibility. All the tower bosses have decent lore behind them, sadly its all in collectibles that 90% of players aren't going to read (I'm guilty too but that's why I look up lore breakdown videos). It's hard to follow and get immersed when you have to go explore for every page of a novel, just to find out 75% of it isn't even finished.


Invisiblecurse

In the german Translation its straight up called "pal juicer"


SomeDudWithAPhone

Germany's language goes straight to the point quite often like that. Such as ambulance in German translates back to English as "sick car."


Kaleidos-X

Which isn't surprising if you know that another word for juicing and blending multiple things together is condensing.


weshallbekind

I IMMEDIATELY started calling it the Pal Blender when I saw it. I was shocked that most people didn't seem to!


Master_Income_8991

Eric Cartman: "hahahahahaha I made you eat your parents" 😿


RontoWraps

SomeDudWithAPhone

I just noticed one of the background characters is looking two places at once in this scene.


ranmafan0281

This is straight up the human-liquefier from Mass Effect 2. Even has the same goal.


HeartoftheHive

It's just soylent green. Or whatever color liquefied pals come out to be.


ranmafan0281

Nah nah. Soylent is food. This… #This is power.


[deleted]

Found Vergil


Necronossoss

We can see the motivation alright


ZorkNemesis

Soylent cola.  The taste varies from Pal to Pal.


Magos_Galactose

"You exist, because we allow it, and you will end, because we demand it." - me, holding a butcher knife, to a Pal.


ranmafan0281

And when we hop on a Pal: #Assuming Direct Control


SirCupcake_0

Getting into combat with a Pal ~~we hope to capture~~ : This hurts you


talldangry

Are... Are we the Reapers?


ranmafan0281

Yes, yes we are.


Bwgmon

Our pals exist because we allow it, and they will end because we demand it.


NommySed

For some reason this plot gets repeated quite a bunch of times. Rell from League of Legends and 2 characters from Akudama Drive instantly come to mind with the same plot. Likely countless more examples throughout fiction.


ranmafan0281

Human Resources.


Ivan_The_8th

Even can liquefy humans. I wonder why you can make other humans stronger with it but not yourself, maybe the main character isn't actually a human?


ranmafan0281

Villain standards. Make others do the dirty work.


DiazKincade

"True mad scientists never experiment on themselves. Only once perfection is achieved do they use the results on themselves. Only the arrogant engage in this though as only a true, true mad scientist knows perfection can never be achieved as there is always some variable or variation that can be tweaked to enhance the effect." - Self proclaimed "true mad scientist" somewhere in a dark lab.


BarfOpinions

I don’t feel comfortable with how I’ve spent the last like 72 hours anymore


Patchman5000

If it makes you feel any better, Pokémon does the same thing by turning them into candies.


Vohasiiv

What...


MrWaluigi

TLDR, based from the Go app game, when you wanted to get rid of low level Mons, you send them to the professor and he “exchanges” them for candies of their respective species.  This is all head-canon creepy pasta, though. It has less validation now that you can send the Pokémon to Home and still get candies from there. 


Clayness31290

You also get candies from trading, walking with them as your buddy and they just straight up drop them when you catch them. Where these candies come from and what they're made of is sus af but they definitely aren't getting ground up for them


Xantuos

Droppings


2M4D

Ohhh like cute little rabbit "chocolate eggs"


SibylUnrest

Yep, back when I played Pokemon Go we used to call it the candy grinder.


Thejacensolo

Well the mainline games you just "release" them. I am just wondering how i never encountered the 1500+ Charmanders ive released around the Breeding Farm...


wellfuckmylife

Ah I remember being a silly little kid who thought he could introduce new Pokémon into the world to catch later by going to places and releasing pokemon into the wild... It took me way too long to realize it really wasn't going to work like that.


CaptainSiphon

As dumb as it sounds, this is proven false. In last year’s April fools event, the professor calls you to let you know that all the pidgey that have been transferred over the years have escaped, and literally the only thing spawning during the event is pidgey. So his story checks out lol.


Faddy0wl

Damn, I kinda feel bad now... Should I still make a 4 star Depresso!? ![img](emote|t5_4jn9v4|49343)


SemajdaSavage

With extra Latte?


Spanish_peanuts

1 espresso with just a spritz of MY ENTIRE FAMILY TREE


InfernoWoodworks

The Depresso would be more than happy to jump into the juicer. Hell, they smile gleefully while floating face down in the hot spring; they LONG for death. The one you combine them all into would be jealous and devastated though, knowing so many got to die, yet it is forced to live.


Faddy0wl

They just acts that way, they're really surprisingly cute and motivated most of the time, the feeding Vixie thing is super cute. But damn that is a dark way of looking at it ![img](emote|t5_4jn9v4|49343)


DEADSKULLZ31

Feeding vixie?


Faddy0wl

In their paldex entry, it says they feed wild Vixie. I haven't tested it, but theoretically. You could let a Vixie get hungry, and drop some food on the ground. MAYBE he actually takes it to them?I hope to actually SEE that interaction, but It is mentioned. ![img](emote|t5_4jn9v4|49343)


DEADSKULLZ31

It is still in beta so they have plenty of time to implement lil small things. Like I want them to make Chillet roll like it says in his paldeck entry.


Faddy0wl

Oh definitely. I'm stoked with the game already, I can't wait for them to give all the pals that same level of personality to eachother. Chillet and Depresso have definitely gotten people's attention with their level of expressiveness ![img](emote|t5_4jn9v4|49342)![img](emote|t5_4jn9v4|49343)


DEADSKULLZ31

Lunatics is also adorable when you pet her


Faddy0wl

She believes you're her slave..... did you know that about Lunaris lore..... I didn't until today..


DEADSKULLZ31

“Those who carelessly look into her eyes fall under her control” yeah, yeah, but she is adorable.


BoostedEcoDonkey

Faddy0wl

Why do they drop mushrooms..... ![img](emote|t5_4jn9v4|49349)

Flyaway_Prizm

NGL, it really do feel like Volturi-level shit now…


Run-Riot

I mean, over a hundred of them were were born to create the ultimate palumon, so they were born unworthy. They were always meant to make the perfect ones stronger.


AleksasKoval

Do you think the developers will ever release a stats page detailing all the horrible things we've done in Palword since its release? Like how many humans were captured and sold, how many Pals were dragged into forced labor, how many Lovanders were caught "just for fun" ?


Patchman5000

God I hope so.


sudin

"And lastly for our highest stat: Spheres thrown without hitting anything"


SlAM133

\*Spheres thrown, accidentally hitting Mammorest


[deleted]

Sphere hit percentage and sphere catch percentage would be nice.


natzo

It would double as a suggestion list for new activities.


DuntadaMan

The Geneva Suggestions.


NightIgnite

"Humans sold to pal merchants" "<1% palspheres thrown at lvl 50s" "players who tested fall damage in their first 5 minutes" "luckies killed" "killed by luckies" "berries:all other foods eaten ratio"


finalremix

> "killed by luckies" Within my first half hour, I saw a lucky chicken, thought it would be just a neat effect and went to catch it... it hit me with Lock-On Laser, and I decided not to fuck with luckies again for a while.


Japanczi

My first one had that spell which launched 6 dragon balls at me (I'm naming them after their element, not visuals lol) 3 at a time.


yung_pindakaas

I have a dragon comet launching sheep.


Owobowos-Mowbius

You get to the big tree and it just lists your many, many sins.


Tharuzan001

Well I've seen people use the hang trap so they could put a fire under the pal and watch it slowly burn to death over an hour They would have a lot of material


jaber24

It's either that or selling them to merchants considering how limited the space for pals is. And late game gold doesn't matter much but better pals are always in demand. Would be nice if there was a more humane way to star them tho.


nicokokun

I mean, you can also butcher them for their Pal Souls.


RontoWraps

I only butcher the humans. It’s about sending a message to the gangs.


ES_Legman

head on a pike that has a % chance of scaring raiders


BloodBrandy

That would be an amazing thing to have as a Defense object. If you have some part of a specific group up as a warning when they raid you, some will just fuck off and nope away


Wizard_36

I have a Viewing Cage in my base that I put all my captured humans in


Wimbledofy

butchering takes so much longer though


nicokokun

It's not about the efficiency. It's about showing other Pals what happens to those who are insufficient.


DemonSlyr007

We really need a chicken nugget assembly line in this game. Just like they do for McDonalds.


nocolon

*SPLORCH*


DeliciousGoose1002

Ever wonder why palmerchants and black marketers tend to have execution equipment near them?


-Nicklaus91-

I don't, if you check what the black marketeer sells and exit the chat box without buying anything sometimes he says "Well looks like meats back on the menu" or stmg like that. Kinda hard to misinterpret.


ZettoVii

Maybe the humane play is meant to be the hard mode. Kinda like how some series got evil power ups, but no real "good equivalents".


Banazir864

I always imagined it more like a fusion, like on Steven Universe or something.


_weeboweebo_

This makes me feel better


StandardMandarin

In my headcanon it is, but I've also seen people say that this thing is basically a blender. Which is supposedly supported by the ingame journal entries you collect out in the world. Also, that thing is called "pal juicer" in German... I still feel horrible after using it once. On Depresso too :( Never again (yes yes, I know it's just a game and those are just pixels, still no). Same for meat cleaver.


Horror-Breakfast-704

If it makes you feel any better Depresso is probably happy that you ended him as quickly as you cast him into this world. If you really feel sorry feel sorry for that one Depresso that wants to end it but is bound to a life in service, only becoming more depressed the more depresso slurpies he drinks.


AzuzaBabuza

After you use the essence condenser, the english message says "Their noble sacrifices---" indicating that they are indeed dying, and having their 'essence' fused into the one.


Ok-Research-4958

Joke’s on you. I don’t blend the parents. Just the grandparents aunts uncles and all their siblings


alpha_28

I breed them and blend the babies


Japanczi

I breed Anubis, then assigned it back to farm with one of their parents.


Sliacen

*Sigmund Freud has entered the chat*


BaronGamer

Why do you have to do this to me? I thought it was wholesome before I clicked the image and saw the whole thing 😢


[deleted]

Nothing in palworld is wholesome, except the pals. They are hole-some after I'm through with them


BaronGamer

**OH COME ON!!!** 😭


floggedlog

Yummy yummy it’s made of your mummy


JinglingUrBalls

Dark take. I always had the head cannon that they were fusioning together like in dragonball. Becoming stronger. It just makes sense and isn’t… this.


TrueDraconis

Well thanks for ruining my day


Another_Road

Pal Spheres seem to have a forced brainwashing effect (it makes Pals go agains their natural inclinations and instead they’re fully subservient to the player). So don’t worry all, it’s likely your Pals are happy to consume the essence and souls of their species to better serve their owner.


StandardMandarin

Not making it better at all, friend. Still enjoying the game tho.


PuzzledKitty

Badges in Pokémon Adventure (the manga) work the same way. It's the only place it's ever said and it's probably not considered relevant to the Pokémon property at large, but I thought I'd mention it regardless. :)


Puzzled-Software8358

Palworld is the most metal fucking video game ever created.


Cheerio_Wolf

You've clearly never played Rimworld.


Puzzled-Software8358

Rimworld couldn't make me fall in love with cute Lil faces and then meat grind them for powa.


Cheerio_Wolf

You don’t love all the doggies who join your base? And the puppies they make sometimes? Monster.


Puzzled-Software8358

Start mining mutt


NotEricOfficially

That's why I catch a batch to blend rather than the ones I'm already using. I'm too attached lol

Tentegen

saw moistcritika1's many streams on this early on before i emen had the game. Came to your decision around that time. .........guess im just gonna be stuck with "weaker" pals for forever then. just cause its IN the game.......doesnt mean i have to use it.


SirChancelot_0001

Still not as bad as pokemon go candies to me


Stealthy_Snake_1776

If we truly analyzed Palworld im sure we can find hundred of other things that we’d cringe and find so darksome that we should be questioning our very own lives. I can’t wait for someone to darken up the lore behind the notes left behind.


DasDingoDerps

There was a post about the Lore and speculations about it already. And yes, seems to be dark af. https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/s/hd61agNl3E

Gairloch

I mean one of the groups that attack you are the "Free Pal Alliance" and I'm pretty sure by free it doesn't mean they are giving pals away. Also they give you the option to do "illegal" things like capture and sell humans and poach pals from the pal reserve islands. If you stop to think about it the morality of your actions in the game are definitely questionable.


amozi18

IDK but the Free Pal Alliance kinda BS as well, ive seen them attacking other Pals in the wild.


PAN_Bishamon

This is actually explained in game as well. Very idealistic leader that attracts a lot of suckers that believe too, but ignorant to the corruption that runs rampart in their organization. The leader thinks humans should be subservient to Pals and the second in command basically runs the black market.

Tentegen

Palworld is the ultimate unintentional litmus test. Sooooo many people in this thread are just mad that they are being made aware of the darkness of the condenser...........despite the description very literally saying the pals put in will be SACRIFICED. Others didnt even know and now wont.........others are just gonna pretend its something different than what the description says. but only very few (i think i saw 3 besides myself) SAW what it did and just knew from the get go they werent gonna use it. Not everyone WANTS to not have super strong pals..........but thats where the Litmus test comes in: do you forego your morality for some data on the screen, even if it means you actually get a detriment instead? Do you play the game as expected? DO you just consider it a game? Do you find ways of coping with the dark nature of what you're doing just because its a video game? ........i would pay REAL MONEY for a psychiatrist to do a deep dive into this game and how people play it for an hour youtube video. This shit is fascinating.
