hmmm.
As DM, I’m always looking for ways of creating the potential for highly improbable but incredibly humorous TPKs.
And I think I just found a new toy.
Best part is, the Murder Hobo is going to love it. At least, until, eh, we’ll they’ll just have to find out.
Now explain this observation with the globe earth model.
Checkmate atheist
The earth is flat, but its flat in spherical spacetime. Checkmate atheists
Maybe gravity still affects the sword, so when they pointed it right, “up” went right for everyone along a curve.
These hairy balls suggest otherwise
Easy: 2/3 of the planet is now devoid of life.
You can just put it on the ground. Since it always points up, gravity will always go straight down through its center, so it will be self balancing. You just need some one to guard it.
Yes. It’s magic though :)
So everyone on the other side of the planet has already been flung out into space
Nah, it’s a disc planet resting on 4 elephants standing on a giant turtle. They good fam.
Another point in favor of a flat world!
Abracadabra!
Imagine that thing being real and you point it sideways and the whole planet’s center of gravity shifts 6700 kilometrrs under you and the whole mass off the planet starts to crumble in that direction
spin the planet!
Wouldn’t the way he is holding it already kill a good chunk of the population? People on the other side of the planet would just fall into space along with the athmosphere loose matter and water.
I guess it must be the direction relative to the direction from the earth’s center.
That little tilt he did definitely killed a few hundred millions from the tidal waves alone unless the effect of the sword is local to an area.
It must be localized somehow. Otherwise, other planets…
How do you think earth got its rotation?
Sounds like a potentially great gameplay mechanic for a puzzle platformer.
Gravity rush? I don’t know though, never played or saw it. I just remember the mechanic where you decide which way gravity is.
Oooh I’d never heard of it, that looks cool! I’ll check whether it can easily run on a pc.
It’s playstation only, i think you can emulate the vita but the 2nd game is ps4 which i’m not sure has emulation
Immortals Fenyx Rising has a similar game mechanic is I remember correctly.
This is how lashings work in Brandon Sandersons Stormlight Archive.
It would be if you can find an elegant control scheme. Problem is, it has to be mapped to something, so you either can’t move or can’t use any buttons while altering it
VR game. I can feel the motion sickness already
First-person platformer with portals. It’s set on a cruise ship in a storm.
The movements consist mostly of backflips and power slides.
VVVVVV did something like this, but if I remember correctly you could only change between up and down.
Locoroco from the old PSP had a really nice mechanic of turning the world to affect the direction of gravity to move the creatures. Real fun game too.
Finally, that I know of, the most recent implementation of the mechanic is in the game called Limbo which is quite nice too.
How the hell did I forget that that was a thing in Limbo?
I shall whip myself, and play three levels of Braid and five levels of super meat boy for penitence.
I was going to say, no need to punish yourself for forgetting something… But if that’s the punishment I want to be punished too.
Have a statue commissioned that will forever hold the sword is from then on a new religion lol
…is this a flat plane of existence? Or a globe?
Maybe it’s localized.
Neither, its sword-shaped.
Keep it slightly tilted just to fuck with people.
Put it on a giant clock face and see if humans can adapt.
How does that mesh with a spherical world?
Who says the sworld is spherical?
The planets are obviously swords themselves
Good point.
It’s like an Excalibur that fucks with rotational symmetries, GR tensors ‘n’ shit!
I’ll just hang it from the tip? And maybe the bottom too just for safety
I’d half-ass tape it to a wall and call it a day.
Without context this sounds very dirty.
Mind blow idea.
Imagine throwing this sword at someone lmao
The sword remains stationary in the air while the entire world spins around it.
I like the idea that the orientation of the entire universe is relative to this sword
