@apophis oh lol. btw may i ask a question about the Major Project of yours that i don’t think you’ve named directly on social media, and that your followers mostly don’t seem to know about or associate you with on here? if you’d prefer, i can keep things vague

@apophis have you ever thought about adding new types of damage?

@shroomie i try to avoid "damage types" whenever possible past what's in the existing HD system - people die either because their blood is no longer carrying oxygen to the brain or their tissues have denatured enough that their organs don't work anymore

there's one thing i can see added theoretically but i can't really do broken bones without a massive overhaul of the entire movement system and also occasionally making 99.9% of the play time hobbling around in a cast

@apophis i mean i really like the pre-existing implementation (you can simulate just about every “type” of damage possible just by hurting the player in different ways with the systems in place), but aren’t you missing the death type of “phase out of reality” with The-Damage-Formerly-Known-As-Aggrevated?

@apophis no like i was saying, isn’t that something that already happens and you forgot to add it to your list of human-death-types or is that a misconception of how TDFKA-Aggrevated works on my end?

@shroomie agg could sometimes just be your proteins getting so denatured and irradiated that nothing can restore it and the affected flesh is no better than a bullet fragment lodged inside your muscles... when you mentioned the fadeaway i imagined the player keeling over dead then their corpse slowly accruing bodydamage for no apparent reason until it gibs and then keeps fading into a blood pool and then into nothing after that

@apophis ah. that makes sense!!!! also, it’s TDFKA-Agg (at least. i think. people in the saltmines told me some time ago that it wasn’t called aggrivated damage anymore)

@shroomie it still is internally but the medikit says a generic "tissue damage"
