And I'm sitting here, bored, pining for the next Dwarf Fortress release. An ASCII game which nobody I know understands or cares about (though they enjoy listening to my stories and laugh at my ability to see through the Matrix).
...not the right forum for this, surely, but...best...MOD...IDEA...
EVAR
At least to freak people the f__ out. I mean, think of a mod that, just for kicks, replaces the whole color scheme with shades of
green and replaces the whole tile set with Matrix glyphs.
If you could pull it off so that it is still somewhat readable as the game (unlikely), it would be the BEST mod to use in public, 'cause you'd look like you were doing something, then people would see that the screen is simply filled with the Matrix, and be very confused.
On Topic: I like LordNagash's thing there with social skills coming into play for teachers. Belligerent instructors would be great too, since going that in-depth should go the other way as well (not just ineptitude at expression, but also insane teachers who purposefully humiliate their students).
I feel the comment in the dev log about increasing mental skills that pertain to learning by learning
may cause interesting effects...like legendary
listeners or the like. Well, if that can even happen with those kinds of skills. Such arrangements sound prone to some kind of learning spiral, in which all the dwarfs in your military rapidly gain the ability to learn Kung Fu Keaneau Reeves style.
There, two Matrix tie-ins. I'm done.
