Also my leg is bleeding.
I don't know why that's happy.

Your body is approving of your plans by confirming the weakness of your mortal body.

Arise, Descan! You must ascend to a higher form of life and show the rest of us!

[Bauglir]

I've just had a campaign idea that I'll never, ever get to run because I don't have time, and neither does anyone else I know. Ideas ripped off from everything, as usual, but eh.

I'd start out with the FF6 campaign I've mentioned before, and not tell anybody of my true intentions. Right around a confrontation with Cid in the Magitek Factory, the party will be interrupted by the intervention of a time traveler, who insists that Cid's survival is necessary for maintaining some sort of timeline stability. Thus begins the struggle against what turns out to be a city-sized military research facility whose central AI is manipulating history to ensure its own eventual construction, and the party eventually either wins or reaches an understanding (along the way acquiring access to highly advanced technology), only for an unpredicted meteor shower to devastate the general area. From the craters would come many explosions, and the sound of metal clanking on metal, and finally the battle cry - "WAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!" As the party fights back the Ork invasion, it eventually comes to light that they are all descendants of Human nobility, lost in a Warp storm as infants - and though they are initially victorious in battle, they cannot fight back the unstoppable tide of Orks, what with that whole reproduction-by-spores thing. They are saved by Imperial forces, and it is soon revealed that the world's moon is, in fact, an ancient weapon from the Dark Age of Technology*, some sort of planet-destroying battlestation. The party may use the preposterous variety of technology now at their disposal to save the world somehow, or just fire the weapon and destroy the world. After many adventures beyond the furthest stars, they will eventually find themselves battling into the heart of Holy Terra in an epic assault that culminates in the Emperor's true death. His spirit will instantly reincarnate, push back the forces of Chaos, save humanity, and as, thanks to the party, offer them a choice. They may choose the red pill, or the blue pill.

I don't really know where to go after that one. Also, it should be noted that I don't actually know anything about Warhammer 40k.

*Or whatever would be recent enough for it not to be heretical, but to be unusual.

[Descan]

You need an assimiliationist hive-mind of cyborgs in there to complete it.

[mastahcheese]

I'd play it.

[Bauglir]

What will Kefka be doing at the end of this? Who knows.

[Frumple]

In that scenario? Kefka is the Emperor.

[Bauglir]

No. That makes too much sense.

[Flying Dice]

Wouldn't Cegorach be a better fit, though?

rockman dot motherfucking exe

sure thing it was a spinoff which i found to be praised once in a blue moon but i played the everloving shit out of the series regardless of the silly plot or its implications, even bought a promotional cd for the fifth installment (which turned out to be the fourths ost plus a bonus track)

though now that i play it rocking all the little cannon-z's and other overpowered shit i learned to use, i yearn that somebody would step up and produce a fangame where the difficulty's turned into a beautiful cliff. mettaur turned into serenade style.

Megamari? It's a Touhou version of Megaman, with bullets.

[Darvi]

Fuck I can't even beat a single level there, it's that hard.

But then again maybe it's because I keep starting in Cirno's stage.

[LordSlowpoke]

YOU ARE NOT THE STRONGEST

but yeah i'll look into that~

[scrdest]

I've finally figured out -exactly- what I want to do with my life. Not "for a living", but like... in my off-hours.

Learn everything there is to possibly know about all the sciences, history, and mathematics, spend time thinking on connections between them, and figure out... everything.

Step one: Become immortal.

So that's why I'm going into neuroscience. Before it was just a "Eh, immortality is nice, and nobody is working on the brain in the way I want them to, so might as well do it myself," but now I actually have a reason!

Because seriously, brain is so tiny and short-lived, you cannot possibly fit all the knowledge of humanity into one skull in one life time. It'll take some serious hacking.

Are you actually serious?

[Max White]

If nobody dedicates their life to trying to reach for immortality, how will we ever get there?
Worst case is that Descan never reaches this goal within his lifespan, but his research goes on to aid others, a worthwhile legacy in my opinion.

[LordSlowpoke]

Worst case scenario, Descan ends up consuming humanity in order to artificially prolong his life for the couple thousand years he needs to travel to the next mortal civilization.

also that is not the worst scenario.
