Where would the AM's stuff go in the wiki?

Ha, oh wow.  I knew that this existed, but I had forgotten most of the things.  I had plans for projects similar to four of those things (steady blade, eyeball, gungnir, and cartographer).  This is wonderful!

Also, I find it funny that Anton's gungnir is the second project named such.

There's probably at least five other, earlier ones buried in the Tinker archives, lost to time and copyright alike.

[Yoink]

What should he call it?
'[Gungnir]', perhaps.
That was scarcely original, as many fabled swords and heroes bore that name.
But [Anton] had the temperament of a craftsman rather than that of an artist; he preferred utility to originality any day of the year.

I'm having LASIK on the 15th, so I might be slow to post/react.  Saint Milno has the authority to drive Lars if he hasn't moved in time.



Piecewise, Calleath take note.

Yeah, and the first one actually fits the name. What I have is more of a Zeus lightning bolt, but naming it Zeus is too pretentious, and his lightning bolts weren't really named, so...

[syvarris]

You could name the gun after the greek word for lightning.  A quick google says that's "astrapi", and that "strapto" is a verb meaning "to hurl".  Presumably "Strapto Astrapi" means "to hurl lightning".  Plus, SA looks like it would be good for an acronym.

Or just call it a Spazer.
Space Tazer.

[NAV]

But it doesn't work in space.

Pffffft. Spazer. It works because it causes anyone you shoot to spaz out.

But yea, no. At the very least, it's not a Space Tazer because it doesn't work in space.

Hmm. "Beam Lightning" gives "Astrapi Desmi". *tries out various language combos* Nah. Nothing really works. I'll stick with "Gungnir" for now.

[Xantalos]

But then you'd have to call it a LAMEzer.
Because Low Altitude Maximum Effective range Tazer.

...I think I'll call it this whether it's the official name or not. Brilliant.

I wonder. Would it be correct, after the surgery, to say that you have

Laser vision

[Toaster]

A buddy of mine asked essentially that same question.  I will clarify with them (and also if I can have eyes that shoot lasers)

[Devastator]

Be careful, it's all-but-certain that he has heard that several hundred times by now.

To make an original joke to workers with the public you have to go full-out.  I once told my dentist that it was hard for me to be sanguine while my mouth was full of blood.  Like that.

[Toaster]

Laser?  I barely know her?
