I'll never relent on pestering for this feature. NEVER!!! It's not only essential for my game, but I can't imagine how anyone could expect to implement a proper list of custom item features--such as are allowed via the use of variables--without being able to communicate those features to the player. For goodness sake, as it stands we can't even disclose how much an item weighs--we can define a weight by creating a variable, but we can't tell anyone about it. Not without simply making it a static, predefined variable and listing it as part of the description. Also, since we're on the topic, Ability and Object variables are *nearly* as important to display, but Item variables at the very least are absolutely essential. ESSENTIAL, I say!
Please, don't make me create a Twitter hashtag. I'll do it--I will! Don't think that I won't. I'll even go so far as to incorporate something about Donald Trump, so that everyone on Twitter will see it, and they'll all know that ORK's current framework doesn't allow them to display their narcissistic variables to the rest of the world that doesn't give a damn, because everyone's too busy shouting
#metoo. You see where this is going.
"I made a really awesome variable for my item, but ORK censored me and wouldn't let me show it to anyone," they'll all say. And it will trigger them. And, when the
#PowersThatBe run out of B.S. to force feed
#WeThePeople in an attempt to keep us passive and distract from all the evil #$&% they're really up to, they'll order their cronies to flash something about the Twitter hashtag on news teleprompters across the globe, and anchors on CNN will read those teleprompters and suddenly break down, hugging each other and crying about how life simply isn't fair. And who's fault do you imagine it will be, that life isn't fair? If nothing or no one comes to mind, just wait, and rest assured that you'll soon have an answer.
All the news channels will begin making veiled comparisons between ORK and
#TheRealHitler. Then, not so veiled. They'll all start shouting about it--asking how something like this could ever be allowed to happen and pleading for something to be done--over, and over, and over they'll just
#bitchandmoan about it on the airwaves ad nauseum. Every day. Constantly. Pounding that incessant narrative into our saturated collective brains until somehow we forget that those people with the talking heads we've been listening to are not just every bit as ridiculous as they are
#BatShtCrazy, they're also... well, I forget, but something needs to be done about this issue.
I don't know why ORK won't simply allow us show whatever variables we select to whomever we expect might actually care. Personally, I blame Russia for the appalling deficit, but that's just me stating the obvious. What I do know, is that before long (pending the hashtag, of course) certain people in high places are going to start pointing to random countries on a map and saying that they're the one's who are actually responsible, and the next thing you know we're wasting tens of thousands of perfectly good munitions to destroy those random countries when we haven't even finished destroying all the other random countries we're currently working on destroying! It's just pure insanity, and no one wants that... I mean, something like 99.999% of people probably don't want that, if they're being honest with themselves.
So, please, give us this feature, so that
#WeThePeople of all the developed nations who are good, and decent, and moral, and who care about the right sort of causes when they're trending, might continue to slaughter heathens with impunity, without a need to worry about the possibility of yet another group of heathens suddenly popping up to slaughter before the drones have even had a chance to rearm.
