So do I. But unless it could be practically realizable, then it doesn't belong in this story, and should stay in fantasy cyberpunk dystopia land.

Let me explain. It's a suspension of disbelief thing, and where the line should be drawn. For me it's a big turn on that things like the Masher could actually be built, and I think would perform as described. Quite often I do calculate stuff to figure out dynamic forces etc. Of course there are plenty of things in this story that couldn't really happen, I mean if it was 100% accurate, then the building inspectors would never have allowed it in the first place.

And lots of stuff I just skip over for convenience of not having to bother explaining it.

But so far, all the machines could be built. Some are a bit borderline, like the ripper-dildo. I think it's practical, but maybe wouldn't perform so spectacularly IRL. I do take allow some liberties in the service of splatter.

A corollary of this approach, is that when I'm describing the gore and splatter, I'm mostly just describing what would really happen, So in a sense it's not fantasy at all, but a gruesome description of reality. And again, I might add some details for effect or humour, I mean it is supposed to be entertaining.

So that's my approach, and I won't be deviating from it much. It is what it is.

Having rambled on now for ages, I should point out that Sol's ideas are really nice. The one that seems to be the main problem is the razor-wire shotgun net thing. I don't think it wold really perform well. The others are technically ambitious but doable, and so I think they'll be included at some point.

This is why I don't really want suggestions for machines etc. I don't want to hurt peoples feelings by telling them their ideas don't belong in this story.>>16712
