Potionslime should drop potions.

Potionslime should drop potions.

Or at least, ingredients for the potions.

By forcing the player to manage resources and take risks, the game becomes more engaging, and hopefully more fun.

Or rage-inducing. If you're stuck in a dungeon, run out of potions, and need 2-3 per fight, and forgot to keep an extra save.



For some reason, yesterday I had an urge to wear glasses. I don't know why. My eyes aren't so bad to need them.

am i worth keeping

If you were an RPG item, I would definently save you for a boss battle.

The things I save 'for boss battles' or 'the final boss', I rarely ever use even at those moments.

Yep.

I used all my MegaElixirs when I fought Lavos. I'm not afraid to die of using things I have.

By extension, I'd find Descan highly useful when we fight the final boss. 4chan, I guess?

[wobbly]

At worst you could toss him in front as a meatshield, while you escape.

[Frumple]

Nah, final boss'd be the NSA or the Mighty Mecha Luddite* or somethin'. 4chan'd be more like a fungus that kept trying to infest your clothes as the game progressed.

*Once, it was a mere frothing-at-the-mouth technology hating bastard. Then, it was roboticized. Now its self-reinforcing rage has been set forth to lay waste to the entire world's infrastructure! Can the great heroes of the internet bind together to stop the hypocritical beast's rampage!?

Find out next week!

I wholeheartedly disagree. If I wanted to make tedious decisions about what to keep and what to get rid of I'd go clean my bedroom.

[Sinistar]

So my body occasionally does this weird thing where it starts to just overheat and produce a lot of heat only to vent it out.

Are... are you a robot?!?

My wtf - our Slow Lord of Poke is back. I didn't even know.

[Descan]

I'm just imagining people tossing my head at the enemy like a grenade, and then I sit there and gently vibrate against it.

[scriver]

Do not vibrate gently into that good night!

[Loud Whispers]

Cease oscillations forthwith

Apostrophes. Fucking apostrophes in languages in your fantasy/sci-fi book. What the fuck do those signify, dear author?

Are they, perhaps, signify some feature of the sound before them, like palatalization or pharyngealization or whatever? But no, wait, this can't be the case because you stick them indiscriminately before both vowels and consonants both voiced and unvoiced!

So they've gotta be individual sounds, amirite? Perhaps some consonant like a glottal stop, to which you didn't want to dedicate an entire letter. Okay. Try to pronounce a glottal stop between [t] and [r]. You can't. Admit it. Oh, they're aliens? Quit your whimpering. Their vocal systems are so different that they can pronounce shit like that and that's the only way in which it affected their consonant inventories?

Perhaps these apostrophes have a non-phonetic function, like demarcating morpheme boundaries? That would make sense, but you're using words like R'blablablablabla. Do you mean there are only two morphemes in this long-ass word? Are not all of them marked, perhaps? Okay. See here: this is obviously non-native orthography, yes? Because why would one want to mark morphemes in one's own language? Therefore, this demarcation exists to aid non-native readers. Why would they want to have only some morphemes marked, but not all of them? It still makes no goddamn sense.

Perhaps they mark contractions, like in English. But they're in practically every word in your damn language. So no, not that either.

Oh wait, but maybe the apostrophe means different things depending on whether it's after a consonant or a vowel, like, it velarizes consonants and makes vowels long or something. That's shitty design, but come on, we're writing in English now. Why would anyone do something like that, anyway?

Oh, I know. Because you wanted your magic language or whatever look exotic without much effort. basically by tal'king l'ike th'i's. Th'ats ess'entia'lly w'hat yo'u ar'e do'ing, dea'r A'uthor. You want to make something look cool and hip without making a single effort, and that's gonna make me take you less seriously. I hope you're ashamed of yourself.

I saw one that had future!Europe spelt E'r'pe. No joke. It annoys me as well.

TVTropes has you covered.

I was once reading a webcomic, and a Tau character from WH40K arrived to the scene for a moment. His name? Ap'st'rof'ee Cr'ayz'ee, or something like that.

[itisnotlogical]

My cup of coffee is half gone, and every single sip has gone down the wrong pipe. I just start choking for no reason whenever I try to take a sip. I managed my breakfast and a glass of water just fine, I don't know what's up.
