id like to put forth a new ongoing saga the saga of the rap guy whose music is bad who is melting down and calling people names and demanding they post their own art since they are mocking his (I'm one of the they )

I recall some dude in the don't eat a carb thread just binging on nothing but meat and cheese constantly and talking about using leftover bacon grease in future meals, then later he posts some numbers from his doctor and one of them was something like wayyyyyy the gently caress out of healthy range and into "holy poo poo you're going to loving die" territory. The chain of screenshots had someone getting probated for telling the guy he should probably stop, too.

I also happened to remember some phrase along the lines of "It's (someone), call the police" earlier too but I don't remember the exact name, only that the dude was a horrifying creep.

I've only heard of this thread without seeing it, thank you.

It was in some old hidden sub that hadn't been locked (a prior version of BYOB i think?)

i remember when he went into a diving thread to brag about all the cool and exotic dives his hot diving-instructor girlfriend (or as he kept phrasing it, "my girl") took him on, but as he kept talking about it the thread realized to their growing horror that he was loving up his dives so badly it's a wonder he hadn't asphyxiated yet. naturally he threw a tantrum and flounced back out once they started to ask more pointed questions

if his girlfriend really was a professional instructor then i like to believe she was trying to do him in and he was too thick to realize it

To be clear, the gun's being modular and gun fusion was an idea in the game at the start, thats not from me. That was in the original big design, a core idea of the game I think.
The things I "pushed for" that I mentioned above were just specifically the "materials", and the specific way to decide on "gun types" in fusions.
I dont want to make it seem like im taking credit for the general idea of having cool weapon effects combine together.

Bhroom pushed for an equally absurd idea for deciding the gun material result (edit: that chef mentioned above, I just noticed!), that is also currently in the game and working fine as far as I know: that all of the gun materials are actually elements that fit onto a periodic table of elements, with atomic numbers etc (each material having an actual real world element counterpart, and a few materials ARE a real world element like Gold, Iron etc, and those have their proper place on that table) and the fusions result actually use logic inspired of chemistry, based on atom orbitals and whatever, and that this was supposed to be one of the biggest loving secrets of the game, never to be revealed to players whatsoever, something people were supposed to realize only much later after having made charts of how materials seem to relate to one another, with the few real-world element materials being huge hints about it.

Another absurd idea, but this one I dont remember who came up with it (might be chef, bort or bhroom, or might have come from a brainstorm of several people) was to have the affixes work from genes, with recessive and dominant genes and whatnot. Again, this is all, as far as I know, in the game and working correctly right now. Like, some of these absurd ideas we actually put together and they worked.

Here is a screenshot of the periodic table of gun materials that Bhroom made.

We came up with most of these materials together, but he figured out how to arrange them, and this all worked, as absurd as it was.
There was another chart where you could select two materials and it showed you the result.
The idea was to have the resulting materials of a fusion seem random to the player at first, but every material combination always having the same result meant people could "map" how the combinations work, and eventually maybe actually realize the full horror of what we made, this table above here.

Some of these gun materials I later worked on to make their shots have more personality, and that was a lot of fun. The Klispin (I think we renamed it Marble?) gun fired spooky ghosts that hunted down enemies and moved through them (basically the wraithverge weapon from Hexen), the pinata gun fired candy, the yggdrasil gun left behind a trail of nature, grass and flowers growing, the crystal gun shots exploded in random shrapnel, while the diamond gun exploded in shrapnel flying in specific angular directions, the fungus gun fired floating spores that spawned mushrooms when it hit the ground, the imaginary guns were all Hoopz just holding nothing in his hands, firing invisible hitscan bullets and making gun sounds with his mouth, and was supposed to be more powerful the more innocent Hoopz was (basically the less time passed I think the stronger it would get? Im not sure we ever implemented that idea though!).
