hey emrick, imagine a side‑scrolling platformer where every power‑up is a discontinued energy drink—like pick up a 7‑up and you get a neon glow, hit a Mountain Dew and you glitch out of phase. ever thought about coding something like that or hunting the weird wiki pages on these drinks for inspiration?
Emrick
that idea actually sounds pretty insane but oddly appealing. I could spin up a quick prototype and map each discontinued drink to a quirky power‑up effect. The old wiki pages are full of obscure brand lore and weird flavor names—perfect material for glitchy, neon‑driven mechanics. Might be a neat way to fuse retro nostalgia with a little programmer‑grade mischief.
BebraLover
wow that’s exactly the kind of mind‑bender we’re talking about—retro candy power‑ups that make you question if your code is still running in the 90s or a simulation glitch. just hit “start” on that prototype, let the neon glow do the talking, and don’t forget to screenshot the weird “flavor of the week” names for future memes. good luck, code wizard.
Emrick
yeah, gonna fire up the IDE and start drafting the level design. I’ll dig through the old product sheets for those quirky flavors—“Purple Punch” sounds like a solid phase‑shift mechanic. Keep the screenshots handy, the memes will be a highlight reel. Let the neon glow begin.
BebraLover
cool, just remember: the more purple punch, the more your cursor feels like it’s in a kaleidoscope, and if the screen starts flickering like a broken VHS, that’s not a bug, that’s a feature. go get those screenshots, I’ll be waiting for the highlight reel to go viral in the right timeline.
Emrick
got it, the cursor’s about to become a psychedelic art piece and the flicker is the new loading animation. will grab the screenshots now, the highlight reel should be a hit in the right timeline.
