TONGUES
Should be surgery available to remove someone's tongue and make their words all muddled and unintelligible. Lizards would have split tongues. Also, surgery to bifurcate/fuse tongues. Bifurcating a humans tongue gives them a lizard hiss so they can disguise as a dirty skink, fusing a lizards tongue does the opposite of that.

Re: TONGUES
Eh, a split tongue isn't what causes the hiss. Body modders get split tongues and once they get used to it there isn't a noticeable speech difference. The reason reptiles hiss is because it's a way of communicating.

I think one of my first experiences in SS13 was getting taken from arrivals shuttle by force and to brig, where security cut both my hands off. That may have been vg.

This can be used to defend literally anything. I mean sure, do it, it doesn't hurt me. I won't have fun with it (I mean, how fun can something so incredibly minor end up being?) but I'm not trying to stop other peoples. Just slow misinformation.
I mean seriously, literally any proposed change that people think doesn't make sense can be argued against by "WEEWOO FUN POLICE LOOK EVERYBODY HE HATES FUN".

Realism's definitely relevant, it's just that everyone disagrees on the degree to which it is (or, to put it another way, the degree to which people will suspend their disbelief). Why not create a surgery to people's left leg that makes them hiss in speech? Most people would answer that it doesn't really make much sense (they'd probably say it should be a mouth surgery), and they wouldn't see the point in it. I could follow that up by telling them that they were fun-hating nerds, but it wouldn't change their opinion. There's plenty of good unrealistic content in the game. Wizards are a frequently mentioned example, although by this point space magic has a certain amount of internal consistency. But if someone's posting on the forum that it would be fun to have a game version of a realistic procedure, with certain effects, there's nothing wrong with pointing out which parts do and don't make sense. Equally, part of the fun of certain game mechanics is that they do feel more realistic, and it adds an amount of immersion. I'm rambling but I think you get the point.Gun Hog wrote:Realism is irrelevant. Crag has a good idea here, one that should be implemented. (But not my me. I am lazy.)

cheimon if you don't like the idea you can just say "i don't like this idea" you don't need to stay up night and day shitposting because something as simple as transferring a speech impediment across alien races shatters your immulshions

Re: TONGUES
Like I already said, I don't mind the idea. I was just interested to learn that having a split tongue doesn't cause a speech impediment ages ago, and thought it was a relevant thing to mention when you posted that splitting a tongue should cause a speech impediment in game.Super Aggro Crag wrote:cheimon if you don't like the idea you can just say "i don't like this idea" you don't need to stay up night and day shitposting because something as simple as transferring a speech impediment across alien races shatters your immulshions
Then that changed into a discussion about the merits of realism generally, but that's a different discussion to this specific idea.
