Oh for fucks sake. It was intended to mock bad western movies, like the real old ones that have the Mexican villians… Fuck, now I can’t think of an example. Still just a bad idea, as this is the thread for bad ideas.
Yup. Honestly wasn’t a really bad joke, just mocking a silly stereotype.
Offensiveness is an easy way to ingratiate yourself with the audience and establish a common understanding, but only when it is accepted by the audience, typically by being familiar or perceived as true. These qualities are useful for many ambitions, humour is one, conquering large parts of Europe and Asia is another, but it is only a means to an end. The humorous quality comes from either subverting the expectations from the common understanding, or conveying a narrative based upon the common understanding that the audience follows in a manner which evokes feelings of humour. The offensiveness itself is not humorous and nor is it necessary, it is just a shortcut that many lazy comedians employ. A very effective shortcut, to be fair, but entirely distinct from the humour itself.
And then there is some responses to discomfort being perceived as humour. Which, once again effective, seems to be something else entirely and to ultimately produce a much less valuable effect.
Although mocking formulaic media is largely fair game, I suggest making a bit more of a point to articulate that it was media that you were mocking in future because context can be very easy to lose in this medium.
yeah. sarcasm and mocking are REALLY HARD to do, as basicly you are limited to italics, which can easily be taken as emphasis.
If only you could somehow declare that it was sarcasm in some way…
Chuck Norris mod. Changes only one thing. Can’t use pockets to warm your hands. Why? Your fists are weapons and you can’t put your hands in your pockets while wielding a weapon.

that specific portion wasn’t sarcasm, just poor phrasing. Anyway, we need a universal smiley for sarcasm.
“xD” works like this.
As long as the poster posting it can be assumed to have IQ over 80, it is obviously ironic and marks the rest of the sentence as sacrastic.
Sadly I know people with an IQ well over 80 who still use xD in a totally serious way. I used to assume they were the most sarcastic people I’d ever met
TIL there are people who mock others for the use of emotes. Not that I care, since they add too much of the much needed expressiveness to online conversations and I don’t intend to stop using them because of random internet snobs.
Back on topic!
Diamond vibrators: They are just more fancy than regular vibrators.
The ability to paint clothing. I want rainbow heavy power armor dammit!

Little-known fact: the original DDA vibrator was made of steel rather than aluminum. Was downgraded after it proved a remarkably effective weapon.
If you get bitten by a radioactive zombie then you should turn into zombieman with all the powers of a- oh, nevermind, already implemented…
Then we should implement radioactive zombie necromancers.
ONLY SKY IS THE LIMIT!
Don’t mistake it for snobbery, please. That’s not how I intended it. I realise that’s how it seemed though, sorry for that.
I meant that most people who are intelligent enough understand that xD isn’t generally used in a serious way anymore, at least not where I’m from and with the majority of people I talk to, while the more abrasive folks tend to use xD rather liberally, which does kinda make me dislike it a little. I don’t particularly judge those who use it for it though, it’s just the majority of people I interact with that do use it are people I don’t get along with very well, most likely just a coincidence.
ANYWAY, BACK ON TOPIC
Add steel vibrators back into the game
Attaching steel vibrators to weapon blades, vibrate your enemies to death.
Less effective if it’s an aluminium vibrator, but still causes your weapon to buzz irritatingly.
Hey now, xD and 
come with a certain nostalgic value. Back in the days of IRC and early MSN, I tell ya what…
Also.
CHAOS RELOAD.
Relevant to strange reloads, this is what I imagine reloading will be like if/when separate magazines become a thing and you store them in internal storage.
Dropping batteries/thread/gasoline/ammo horizontally next to a ranged weapon or container spawns smileay monster mobs

Lemme guess: Railgun CBM?
An ability to spend several turns, when chosen in “aim the throw” menu, turning in place to throw the thing further with less accuracy. HAMMER TOSS!
The ability to add vehicle parts onto yourself :P, then becoming optimist prime
