(So I've finally gotten around to doing it and by God I think I've accidentally created a masterpiece in shitposting.)

(That video makes me wonder what would happen if you made your own version of LSD Dream Emulator. Because it feels like something from that game, but STALKER-themed.)

(I feel that surrealist / absurdist comedy to be one of my strong suits, as most of my projects tend to end up feeling like a bad trip anyway once I get to the end of them.)

(You could just make it shake violently or spin rapidly instead. If you started doing proper animations, then that would mean I'd actually have to start trying again 😨)

(I guess what I'm saying is that it might help to come up with something that gives you a little bit of urgency to encourage you to work on something.)

(Like, because I'm mostly doing sound design at the moment, I was able to turn a brain fart I had an hour ago into reality, because I didn't want the idea to slip away.)

(Sometimes you've just got to seize the moment instead of putting it on the backburner with everything else.)

(King once more with the flawless space lesbian shitposts)
(Wonder if he's tried Crow Country?)

(I've watched Manly Badass Hero's LP of it.)

(It's an interesting game, but it came across as being far, far too easy to be a survival horror game. I'd say it's more like the original RE4 and is just a spooky action adventure game with the amount of ammo and health that is just lying around everywhere with an infinite amount of pistol ammo just lying in the boot of your car which you can access at anytime outside of boss arenas.)

(at least check out the story, those are shenanigans that are worth seeing)

(I was thinking of designing some Shirleyist plasma weapons and an explanation as to why they look radically different to Shitbot plasma weapons.)

(My idea was that Shitbot plasma weapons work by venting partially ionized plasma from the magazine into the bulb and then rapidly heating it and magnetically charging it with the bulb's filament, making the plasma fully ionized and then expelling it through the lens on the front with magnets, focusing it into either a projectile or beam and the projectile's own magnetic field maintains it's cohesion temporarily, which is why plasma projectiles fizzle out of existence over relatively short distances. Also, Shitbot plasma is neon-mint green because it contains mercury and copper.)

(But Shirleyist plasma weapons work by having an internal chamber filled a mixture of inert gasses that's then charged and ionized by a laser and a Tesla coil and then forced through the barrel by magnets and is formed into longer, bolt-like projectiles that aren't as explosive as the Shitbot plasma projectiles, but move faster and farther and have better penetration. Kind of in between Shitbot plasma (all blast, poor penetration) and Shitbot Phlogiston projectiles (all penetration, poor blast) in terms of performance. Also Shirleyist plasma contains Argon and Aluminum, giving it a violet-purple color.)

(I want different factions' weapons to be different but similar. Soup King seems to be found of wacky & chaotic short-range & melee stuff, which I think is a good contrast to my strong preference for the relatively uncomplicated strategy of "shoot them from as far away as possible with as big of a gun as possible." I mean, it's even reflected in my two favorite melee weapons being the Halberd and longer, more Meteor-Hammer-like Flails that basically keep the user as far from their opponents as possible.)

(This does sound like a really cool idea to help distinguish between the two factions in a fire fight, as they tend to be quite similar in the range department for the most part.)

(In my mind, the effects Shitbot Plasma weapons are the same as Covenant Plasma weapons in the Halo books, where a negligent discharge into the floor will melt your lower legs off and about three inches of concrete as it splashes on the ground.)

(I'm picturing the Shirleyist Plasma weapons as being more refined and more like the plasma rifles from Fallout.)

(Foolish heretic!)

(Clearly the patricians choice of melee weapons is the electrified brass knuckles, because if the enemy isn't getting a broken jaw, second degree burns and involuntarily making Murloc sounds when you punch them in the face, can you really say that you've hit them?)

(Backed-up by the Swiss Army knife of melee brawls, the folding steel chair, your pointy sticks and weaponised farming instruments will be parried away and you will get rushed down.)

(Unless we're formation fighting.)

(If we're doing that, then pointy sticks all the way.)
