Well, we all have them. Well, maybe we all do. Ok so maybe it's just me. But maybe not. > _ >

Strange Ideas.

Do you have any strange ideas? Post them. Maybe they aren't that strange, perhaps we can judge them and find out.
My idea is handkerchief wipe. You know to clean the goo off your handkerchief.

Maybe it could be called a Handkerchief handkerchief.

My classmate once had an idea of an automatic money loser. No need to worry about losing your money ever again, just throw it in and that magical device will lose it for you.

Hmmm...
I had an idea about an underwater minimarket.
A minimarket under the sea.

If I think more about it, it's basically useless.
Why it needs to be built underwater if it can be built above the surface?
But it's still kinda cool though. xD

Some games and stories actually have underwater civilizations so it's not really that strange. I can't remember if it was Breath of Fire or BOF 2 that had a shop underwater.

I often feel like I'm reinventing the wheel with my ideas. Chances are whenever I think of something, someone else has probably already thought of something similar. For example, I reckon there's probably already an insect zapper that's combined with a powerful vacuum cleaner function to kill flies when they fly around too quickly or in inconvenient places where you wouldn't want to be swinging a fly-swatter around too wildly.

Well, if somehow merchants could find a way to advertise in an attractive way to sea creatures, think of the broadening of markets. Now, some people may think, WELL HOW DUH PEOPLE GONNA GET DOWN THERE, but you have to realize there are already shops ABOVE DUH WATER too. MEOW! These underwater shops would have to sell specialized merchandise the aquatic occupants would be interested in. Then, there is the introduction of global fish markets, perhaps they will set up trade embargos and block intercontinental trade if there is too much fluctuation in the currency.. how many jelly fish does it take to get a new fish bowl? Meow. Then one day your accumulation of jelly fish aren't worth half as much as they were the day before. Meow. Then can humans be hired to eat the competition? Oh so many fishy variables.


Ok this was all just silliness. How dare I derail this thread with my stupidity.

My strange idea is/was to turn over all "Future Tech Research" to Private Industry.

That sounds weird, so I'll explain.

I'd like to create a list of 25 "future technologies" and achievements. Depending on the achievement or technology, the business that invented did it would have a period where all employees and the business itself would pay 0% taxes to the government. Things like, "colonizing the moon" would mean a 0% tax rate for every single year the colony remained viable (with viability rules outlined under it. Things like the colony has to grow, there has to be established trade with the Earth, it requires its own government, it must produce its own food, and must operate at a profit, with less than 3% of the colonists dying every year) while things like, "Teleportation of Objects" would result in a standard 10 years of no taxes on said company.

There'd be a long list of rules for full disclosure of technology in order to obtain the "no taxation" status. Each specific thing would also have rules for which it counts as "invented" or "achieved".

My list would include things like:
"Faster Than Light Travel of a Human Being"
"Teleportation of Matter"
"Teleportation of Living Things"
"Teleportation of Humans"
"Tricorders from Star Trek"
"Nuclear Blast Nullification Technology"
"Human Colony on the Moon"
"Anti-Meteor/Asteroid Technology"
"Elimination of Cancer"
"Elimination of AIDS"
"Antarctic Colony"
"Under Ocean Colony"
"Terraforming Technology"
"Radiation Removal Technology"
"Ansible Communication"

That's the short list. Basically, I'd like to focus the intensity of businesses looking to make massive profits into things that really aren't going to see "viable" returns for a while. Instead of getting tax dollars from citizens or relying heavily on donations, I'd like to incentivize focused research from companies that make a lot of money.

That's my strange idea. It's actually pretty fleshed out and covers roughly 154 pages of documentation (I was bored, sue me). But, that's the basic jist of it.

I seriously doubt it'd work in any way I'd want it to.

Also, as each item is "removed" from the list for having been invented or accomplished, new ones take their place.

And I've got an even crazier idea! Let's go to sleep again, because we're lacking sleep!

No, I can't do that. I'm hungry.
Who can sleep with an empty stomach?

I have a crazier idea. How about ordering some pizza?

This idea is approved. And since we are here alone, I think we'll be able to execute this deadly idea. Let's eat it alone.

Nothing strange about pizza. What about some sherbet floats? Or a sherbet milk shake? MMM orange sherbet milk shakes.

I had the idea that if I put two pigs in a pen, one male and one female, I could take their piglets.
I could then grow them up and teach them how to attack on command and do basic tricks.

I would eventually have a platoon of pig soldiers to do my bidding.

I had no idea about anything of the sort, but Rolls Royce supposedly made one. O _ O

I once heard a 8-bit remix of Land of Confusion and got it into my head to do a rpg remake of the music video. Kinda like those autoplaying levels you see in Super Mario Maker that syncs up with music, but with rpgmaker.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
