What's Happening in YOUR Randomly-generated Apocalypse?: Vibrator derail

acehawk:

I agree, but it would be a way to appease people who are uncomfortable with the thought of using a traditional vibe without adding a dedicated fleshlight item. That said, there could always just be a dedicated fleshlight.

Ah, I understand.

[quote=“acehawk, post:67, topic:6274”]Maybe you could simply note in the items description that it is double ended for either gender’s pleasure? Since fleshlights are pretty much vibrators themselves, AFAIK.

That said, I personally don’t care, I view vibrators in general as largely gender neutral, though I know society tends to enforce a view of them being only for females and homosexual men.

Oh, and masturbation can’t be a thing because everything beneficial needs to consume a resource, and the ability to make yourself tired at will is very desirable and thus needs a high value resource.[/quote]

We could rename it to ‘sex toy’ and be terribly obvious as to its intended purpose, yet completely vague as to what form it actually takes.

And it uses resources. Batteries and physical exhaustion in this case.

But I thought Kevin’s entire point was that he didn’t want to rename it?

These forums are becoming more and more like the DF forums.

This is the greatest moment of my life.

I’m not as strongly against making the name more generic as I am changing it to something that pretends it’s something other than what it is. One is being vague, the other is being dishonest.
That having been said, I’d rather leave it as it is. Fleshlights and the ilk are vanishingly rare compared to vibrators, so the chances you’re going to run across one are orders of magnitude lower than the chances of running across a vibrator, if your character has some kind of hangup that prevents them from using what’s at hand, well that’s the heart of role playing, isn’t it? Embrace the dilemma!

Hahaha, I have no idea if that’s a compliment or an insult.

[quote=“Anoahmous”]This a somewhat old story, but after getting my first vehicle (can’t remember what it was), I encountered two zombears fighting, and since hostile mobs fighting is so rare, I decided to watch. A coyote or two joined in on the fun, then they all came after me.

It was way too lucky that I had a vehicle.[/quote]Dude, wrong thread, you’re derailing the derail.

I…. disagree that one type of sex toy is significantly more rare than the other, to the extent of exclusion from the game entirely. I’d assume there are just as many lonely sex-deprived people who enjoy vibrators as enjoy fleshlights/onaholes. Hell, I would think that in almost every loser-nerd-living-in-parent’s-basement type situation, there would probably be a self-pleasuring device around somewhere.

Hang on a second.

That’s actually a pretty good idea for a new type of basement.

All Female NPCs will now automatically join you!
All types of Katanas will now always get a critical hit when you use them!
Wolf Suits, Dinosaur Suits, Fedoras and Trenchcoats now have +20 to cut, smash, and environmental protection and cannot be damaged!
Vibrators now grant twice as much morale!
Smoking Cannabis grants you an additional +50 “In this moment, I am Euphoric” morale bonus!
You have acquired the “Insanely Smart” mutation!
You can no longer gain morale bonuses from reading religious texts, except for the one related to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Datanazush · 2014-06-02T19:33:27.000Z

With the twist that none of those things actually happen. Except maybe the morale ones.

I created a maid character recently. Gave her the Stylish trait so I’d get morale bonuses for wearing my awesome French maid outfit.

Walked outside and got mauled to death by dogs.

… I forgot that Cataclysm can be a real jerk sometimes. Looks like I’ll have to learn how to play again.

Nighthawk, this is the wrong thread(this is a vibrator dilemma derail, where we talked about if they should of shouldn’t be included in the game or something :P). Post it on the other one.
