Inside Tynan's Mind...Ep. 2

"SD LANOD CM"
No one will get it... Also I might get sued

"Helper T"
Sounds cheesy, and no one actually knows science

"Angelium"
Then it sounds like a direct counter to Luciferium

"micro-block"
!!!!...Oh wait it sounds too much like Minecraft
My mods

If 666 is evil, does that make 25.8069758011 the root of all evil?

- Becteri-hell"
A hell for bacteria that think that can mess with you.
Or...
A hell made of bacteria, better not take it.

- Megatherium
That thing looks bad ass, giant, better not mess with it.

- Megasloth
Just walk fast to outrun it. Schedule for auto hunt after the squirrel (this already happened before but you used to take care before you knew it was inoffensive).

i think penoxyciline is derived from penicillin : which is an antibiotic and maybe oxycodone which is a painkiller?

i dunno.

The "pen" may well be penicillin, but the "oxycycline" comes from "doxycycline", which is a real world malari-block.

I don't mind the healroot rename. It's important to know what it is, especially for new players, and the old name doesn't mean anything, so you'd have to look what it is.
Megatherium is something else entirely. Being a sloth doesn't change your perception of the whole animal. It doesn't affect gameplay at all.

If we follow the Megatherium name change, we should also change the name of the following animals :
-Warg -> "Megawolf"
-Muffalo -> "Bigcow"
-Thrumbo -> "Unicorn", or "Alien Unicorn"

As for non animals :
-Centipede -> "Megabot" (it doesn't have 100 legs). Variations could be "Minigun megabot" and "Inferno megabot".
-Scyther -> "Snipebot" (doesn't use a scythe, only sword shaped arms)

We could also rename sherif/convent child pawn and "neurotic/pessimistic/pyromaniac" into "Cowboy hat", 'organ donor" and "kibble", just so the player knows what they are for.

Also, if we ever introduce the Diplodocus in game, I'd call it "Long-neck dino".

I would personally rename Bear into "A***hole", since that's how I already call them (ever played in boreal forest ?), but that's just me.

I like "Penoxycyline" actually.

But bring back Megatherium!

I agree with changing megasloths back.

I forget where I heard it but someone said Tropicyline might be a good name.

Maybe Tropoxycline?

This is like being in a remote fishing town in Libera and asking, "Why can't I just pay one of the fishermen $10 to take me back to Los Angeles?"
