Stop trying to plug things into Cthulhu.  Eldritch abominations are not a viable source of electricity.
Lies! If you can make it spin, you can make it generate electricity. Given enough steam and sufficient gears*, we can make Cthulhu spin. And then power our automatic tea brewers with the energy. Live the dream.

*And possibly a really big hamster ball, I'unno.

Wait, swag as in cutting down swagger? Not the shinies?

Man, that's actually approaching annoying. Swag means loot. Loot means swag. We need to hoist some mizzenmasts or something. Piratical is fine. Lazy is less appreciable.

Damn. Well, uh. Good luck?

No one you can scapegoat for it? Or, well, appropriately blame?

... what does Romney lying have to do with Obama lying? They both are pretty deceptive in their own ways. Same with pretty much every other major politician in the American system these days, it seems.

Hmm...

Something tells me electrified crucifixes will not be featured in the game :p
Ah, right, that silly cultural... something or other. What about the rack? Would racked cthulhu be acceptable?

Gods alive now I'm thinking about the Plutonian Pope's Pear of Power Generation and you know what? That is a terrible, terrible thought. I blame you, Script. This is your fault :P

Anyway, faction stuff definitely sounds neat. Not much to say beyond that, I guess.

That's a little more, hrm... symbiotic than I was thinking. Less feeding them crazy people more sticking them to a crucifix with steam powered harpoons and a constant stream of debilitating electricity. Siphoned from what the critter itself is being used to generate. That sort of thing. Less cult, more going ‼SCIENCE‼ on their antediluvian arses.

I have a sudden and tremendous urge to plug cthulhu into a power generator and use him to light up the east coast.

Will... will we be able to do that? Run our gristle mills on eldritch abominations and grind their juju to make our bread? The monolithobelisk thing sounded interesting but I want to actually shove an electrical socket into Dagon's nethers and power a chainsaw from it.

And what about wiggly brackets? {} And perky brackets? ⟨ ⟩
[], {}, (), ⟨ ⟩, <>  "From the top: brackets, braces [or curly brackets], parentheses, angle brackets/chevrons, and inequality signs."

Wikipedia answers many questions. I think that's most of the standard surrounding thingies. Barring / / and _ _ and * * for /italics/, _underlining_, and *bold* in situations where the formatting doesn't actually exist. As deraily as deraily can get, but I kinda' wonder what else is commonly used...

Plus, Bundle o Cats is such a dwarven instrument. Maybe once instruments are more thoroughly implemented.
Cat leather bagpipes of highest craftdwarfship, eh? I guess in that case it'd be adorned with sewn images of golf clubs, hum...

Or maybe just bedecked with golf clubs. That'd be amusing, thinking on it. I wonder how well bagpipes would function with a nine-iron hanging off 'em.

It says something about the borg's slogan that it can be almost infinitely reshaped for different subjects and still manage to amuse me.

Either about the borg's slogan or me, I guess. +1, Xant, plus one.

Just a titch, per'aps. Also, by the gods Tell's post looked like a botpost. I was momentarily disoriented and my mouse cursor was idling toward the report link. Perhaps fitting for the WTF thread, I'unno.

This thing. Today, it made me happy.

I'm apparently going to have to hunt down this... Nichijou... thing. Because the guy that did that is apparently the same guy that did Nichijou's OPs.

E: Finally moved on after listening to it seven eight times in a row. Wheee~

This... thing. Youtube link. It makes me happy. Also... all the same guy, apparently.

Why is it that vocals are so much more bearable when I have no idea what the hell they're saying?

E: Actually, having looked at the translation... the lyrics are actually kinda' great. So... cool.

... all the *bands.

There's also the latest incarnation of ToME, which is mostly in Lua.

Both the gearheads (at least pre-lua conversion for GH2) are pretty easy to add items and mecha to. Missions and suchlike are a bit more fiddly.

Probably more I'm forgetting. Lots of RLs are open source, so... yeah.
