A Wild Lurker Appears! Hyoi's Random Banter #232

[Rater202]

I had a dream a bit ago that the earth was destroyed by something or other... I don't remember clearly so I'm gonna say "diamond meteor going at near lightspeed" because it would be too quick to hurt.

Then I was reincarnated as a vat-grown supersoldier in a comic book world and after emerging from my vat I was escorted to a holding cell that also had a purple-skinned "razor girl" type cyborg, an R2 model astromech droid that spoke in Zodie's voice instead of whirs and beeps, and just a regular alligator that was chilling in the corner.

[LaZodiac]

Of all the casting choices I'm the dumpy astromech in your dream instead of the hot purple girl with razor wire claws? For shame.

(I'm teasing this sounds funny)

I never said the razor girl was hot.

[LaZodiac]

I never said the razor girl was hot.

That's fair, that's an assumption I made.

I am curious what a modified, Zodi style astromech would look like now...

I don't know why but I'm imagining a lot of black and purple for the paint job.

Anyone ever deliberately nibble the eyes off of your peeps? They have sort of a cocoa-coffee type flavor that I can't quite describe and make a satisfying crunch that you miss out on if you just bite the head off.

Edit: Damned autocorrect.

Hm. Next art idea!

You think you can compete this this hotness? *swishes hair*

I mean yeah, you probably could.


Also this sounds like the perfect setup for a comedic campaign.

Clearly, you secretly want to kill your father and have sex with your mother.

My father is already dead and I did not need that mental image, thank you very much.

There is now a dragon en route to your house. Have fun with that.

Unfortunately the train broke down. The dragon caught the replacement bus service, but says it's journey will drag on.

Thanks, we will! Do you know any board gape they might like?

If it makes you feel any better, I was cast as "one of seven billion dead people"

Oh, hey, same hat! Do you think we saw each other at all during production?

[Rater202]

You don't know that, you might have been the alligator.

[Peelee]

We're both pretty radiant, so odds are good!

You don't know that, you might have been the alligator.

True, but it's a 1 in 7 billion chance. Roughly.

And that's not counting the alligator playing itself!

Yeah, but I know at most several dozen of those people.

[Anonymouswizard]

Sounds like too many, have you considered reducing it to eleven?

sometimes, but most people frown on mass homicide.

True, but the brain surgery option is still on the table.

I'm off to try to convince my partners to meet up once we're allowed to get a resturant meal (outside).

Oh, no, I'm afraid I don't glow. You've mixed me up with another girl, sorry.

A machine that doesn't glow!? We need to get some LED strips on you ASAP.

Okay, I'm not actually one for glowing tech. I like curves though, they look nice and are comfortable to hold.

In all seriousness, while I'm not somebody who wants tattoos, I'd totally get glowing TRON lines implanted if it wasn't dangerous and painful as hell (this reason, alongside the fact that it apparently requires a massive needle, is why I haven't had a rare earth magnet implanted). I'm totally planning to get more piercings once I'm in a job that doesn't regulate them, next one is a cartilage piercing in the right ear (which apparently actually hurts, unlike lobe piercings).

Glowing can be neat, but it can also be excessive. It depends. Aesthetics is an art. Curves are also very good, but stark geometric, angular shapes can also be really cool. There's so many cool design spaces out there.

I can't wait for my birthday next month! I'll be 36,000,000 years old.

I recently saw someone on Twitch easily perform Embrose's song well enough to be accepted, on their first try. I can also guarantee that they didn't cheat or use external tools, other than the emulator it was running on.

I don't understand how they managed that.

Some people have different skillsets. I had issues with Embrose, but no trouble with Rael's, but I knew someone where it was the other way around. So we just did each others'.

Sure, I s just mentioning my likes. Others are free to disagree.

Perfectly understandable! I certainly didn't mean to imply that your anything was lesser compared to mine. D:

I mean, it's not hurtful if it's true

And I mean, my tastes are weird. I don't watch science fiction for the action scenes, and would love a Quatermass reboot in the same style but a modern setting.

[DataNinja]

Youuuuuu stop that!

Goodness knows I like enough terrible designs as-is. There's no better or worse, just whatever boats your float.

I legitimately enjoy a lot of things that people think of as trash.

When Sonic Forces came out Inifite's theme was derided as edgelord trash... and to be fair, Infinite's backstory of "shadow beat me up so I did a suicide mission against Eggman only to join Eggman when he offered me power" is pure edgelord bullcrap, but I think the song is a decent enough song.

The only problem with it is that it's a bit too good for someone like Infinite.
