Were swords once part of the game? Is the wiki just drunk?

I've built an apple orchard plot, but with an Avalon theme. Currently putting together an oak grove on the shore of my lake, and thought it would be neat if I had a lady of the lake theme for it, and immediately thought of the myth of lady of the lake and Excalibur. So of course I wanted to see what I could use to build some sort of sword like thing and started googling.

First I saw that Sifuu already gave me a sword display. Haven't noticed it in my inventory, but I'll have to check it out.

Second, Google is showing a makeshift sword and shield, and then lists a copper sword and shield as a recipe. Then, google sends me to a jadium sword and shield page.

The pallium sword says it was updated in May 2026?

Am I on crack? The wiki on crack?

If this isn't available, I really wish it could be!!

Please Palia????

Went with hubby to see the new spider man movie (no spoilers except mentioning a character you see basically immediately after opening credits. So stop here if you don't want to hear).

Movie ended and in the row behind us was a family with some elementary aged kids.

Kid : dad who was that frank guy?

Dad : oh, he was the punisher.

Kid: cool. No idea who he is but I like him!

We start to leave the theater after the post credit scene and they're just in front of us.

Kid : I really liked that PUBLISHER guy!

Dad (snickering but trying not to laugh) : I think you mean the punisher. But a superhero named the PUBLISHER would be awesome too!

Me in my head : Hell Yeah. I could def use a superhero named the publisher!!!

Just scored over 50 dip powders (revel and red carpet) on fb marketplace for 80$! I'm so super excited to build my collection! Eee!

So tell me, what was your best dip score? Either a website clearance that you were thrilled about, or a second hand purchase that made you squeal in delight? I need more dopamine this morning obviously. Lol.

I'm well on my way to owning every landscape that Palia sells.

I haven't even fully finished one plot... but when they go on sale, I just have to get them!

Yeah, this last landscape sale killed my budget! Ha.

Now just have to wait for halcyon heights to get discounted!

Anyone else a landscape collector? Or is it just me? I don't buy clothes or fancy gliders or tool skins. Just the landscapes!

I haven't played in a few days, but last time I was on, I glitched a pavilion onto a ghost placement present so I could place it out of bounds.

But now I cannot for the LIFE OF ME find the dang present again! I'm 90% positive I know where I placed it, and it's not anywhere near there.

I originally used some floor pieces to setup the placement in bounds so that I could match the oob placement I wanted. But I even simulated that setup, and rotated it (as I had rotated the pavilion before I logged I off)

Is it possible that my present glitch had another glitch that deleted the present but left the pavilion? I really don't want to leave it where I left it, but I cannot even use the housing menu to pick it up as it's oob!

Hellllppppp!

Or possibly fireworks.

But strangely I was on my home plot?

Was decorating my plot (homestead) when over the hill on the left side of my plot, I happened to look up, and a twinkling caught my eye. I looked for a bit longer and saw some flares or fireworks that appeared very far in the distance. If I hadn't looked at that precise moment, I never would have seen it.

Has anyone noticed this before?

My son spotted some friends from school the other day while we were out running errands. My son (not quite middle school) yelled out his friend's name, and I just sort of stood there shocked. But even more so when he and his sister came over and introduced themselves.

The boys name was Synapse. And the girls name was Syncope (sin-aps and sin-coe-pee)

I mean they are beautiful sounding. But as names? I was a bit stunned.

But I'm sure there's a whole list of cool words that sound amazing but REALLY shouldn't be used as names. What would be on your list? Bonus if you add the reason it wouldn't work!

Talon for me is one. And I actually know a kid named talon. Bane is another, and yup, knew one of those years ago in university.

My list of ones I've never heard but hope I never do, even though they sound fantastic:

Cerebellum - that kid is destined to become the villain. His origin story is that he's not really actually smart, and got bullied endlessly as a kid. So he got jacked using tainted steroids after being dumped by his last girlfriend. Went on a rampage that landed him with 20 years behind bars.

Granite - opposite of cerebellum, this kid was smart but still teased, mainly for being brainy. So he graduates MIT suma cum laude, and builds a super computer that takes over social media such that anytime a traditionally popular person tries to post, poster sees it fine, but the rest of the world sees an edited version which makes them seem sad and pathetic. Worldwide chaos ensues. But Granite is never discovered.

Jallopy - named after her dad's favorite car. She doesn't become a villain, but did endure years of teasing on being broken and cheap. But she runs with her dad's love of cars, and becomes a top rated mechanic, marries her best friend and business partner, and swears she will never give her kid a weird name like hers. Lands up calling her kid Ford. Who gets teased for being Found On Road Dead, and the cycle begins again.

O have a heavy duty large e cargo bike. The rear drive chain is stretched out and I need to buy a new one, but hopefully more heavy duty.

This is my current chain. It has kmc on some links and 30-3 on a few others.

I counted 132 links, tho o think 2 or 3 are missing. It's about 66" or so long. It's for a single drive chain (only the front is geared not the rear)

The front heat has 18 teeth and the rear has 32 I think (hard to count as it's underneath).

Any idea of what I should look for?

Looking to do a long weekend away (4 days) this summer. I'll be leaving my younger kids with their adult older brother and his wife, so we'd like to stay within driving range of Barrie if possible.

I'd love some suggestions on where to go and what to do!

A couple years ago, we spent three nights in Niagara on the lake and enjoyed ourselves.

Before our younger kids were born, we did a big European trip and loved it so much. We specifically love going to different places and seeing the sights.

We have done a beach resort, but I'm not sure we really want to chill on a beach for four days. We'd both get pretty antsy.

We are also heading to Cape Breton Island to visit family this summer. I'm not really a camping person so a trip to Algonquin might not be super fun? Unless it's a resort maybe?

Thanks for any suggestions!

I use PS only a few times a year lately ( a waste, I know, but that's another post)

I am currently editing my son't wedding photos, as I was their photographer - Yes, I'm trained in this and not just someone with a camera. Anyways, I touchup and color grade all my photos in LR, then take one into PS to edit, open my actions, and basically noting works! I'm super frustrated, and have emailed the original makers, but I'm not seeing any updates on their site, so I'm fairly certain I'm just screwed. I might still have PS 2025 someplace on my laptop that might make their's work, but otherwise....

I guess my next option is just to find/buy some new actions for PS 2026! Any suggestions? What are your fave actions that you've found that still work in version 2026?
