[OOC] Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT

[TimasheTiger]

Jesus did you just run into me and fall all the way down the stairs XD

[Lennon79]

I wanted a first post with some... impact :D

[TimasheTiger]

-pained sigh- I hate you...so much... Alright I'm off to work, I'll get a post up to resolve this farce later on. Sorry to leave you hanging like that Lennon.

After looking back at the tablet idea I'm going to conclude that I shouldn't drink when writing posts again and just toss whatever crazy tablet gadget thing I had planned yesterday and go with a regular art tablet.

[TimasheTiger]

Good choice

On a mildly-related note...found this when I Googled for it on a whim. Went "guess I'm doing a quiz" and felt like sharing if anyone else had a few minutes to kill :)
Also, predicting my results come out as either Rin, Shizune, or anyone that's not Emi...just predicting.

EDIT: That barely qualified as a quiz. And somehow, I was wrong on all guesses. Guess I'm finding one that ISN'T just five questions.
EDIT2: found one
EDIT3: ...fuck this. I'm just gonna go post now.

Alright I'm liking your profile rusher, but I'm going to scrutanize on a couple of things.

1. I wouldn't consider a drug addiction to be a disability, that should probably go in the other info section. (anyone feels free to correct me, do so)

2. In the other info based on your prosthesis, how advanced are you actually making this leg and do you have a real world model you can apply to this?

[UnendingEmpire]

It's gonna take me a while before I get a post up. Forgive the pun, but I'm not quite feeling it yet ^_^;

[TimasheTiger]

There's a pun in there?

Ami has no sense of touch >.>

[Major Ursa]

It would probably have to be a full on bionic prosthetic leg...which usually takes quite a bit of money.

Paresthesias...pins and needles sensation?
Formication...?

Also, pfft, bionic prosthesis are still highly experimental, as far as I know based on that research, scientists at some university in chicago have a working prototype funded by the US army, and hope to have actual models in 3 to 5 years. The video I watched about it was posted in 2013, the events of Katawa Shoujo, I'm assuming take place in 2012, our story now is about current time 2014/2015. The bionic leg is still too experimental, extremely expensive, and based on the description given by rusher is nowhere near as quiet as is claimed.

At most, I would assume (and allow) that the C-leg would be the kind of prosthetic being used, the technology has been around since '97 and it uses microprocessors.

[Major Ursa]

Hypoesthesia·- reduced tactile sensation
Astereognosis - unable to recognised tactile sensation
Both - you're fucked, crawling on the ground...

Indeed, bionics is pretty complex for the time. So, unless your character is obsessed about regaining a leg, has tolerance to noise, and has money coming out their behinds in sacks...you're getting a hoof looking thing, or a mannequin leg.

[Lennon79]

Those prosthetics sound.... hoofin. I want a set.

[TimasheTiger]

Ursa, that was the best way to describe that list of disabilities.

Also Lennon, fuck yourself (btw I made a post, just for you)

[UnendingEmpire]

But are you willing to pay the price? >:)
EDIT: Timashe is the only person here who ninjas me somehow
