Deepforge & Mememania
I’ve been tinkering with an alloy that reacts to sound. Imagine a sword that actually snorts when you drop a good pun. Think you can help me fine‑tune the resonance?
Oh wow, a pun‑sounding sword? Sounds like we need a tiny kazoo inside the hilt, maybe some acoustic foam and a sarcastic bark? Drop a joke and it goes “Snort!”
If you’re really set on a sarcastic bark, just stick a bit of thin brass in the hilt and a strip of felt where the tongue would be. Here’s a joke for the steel: Why don’t blacksmiths play hide and seek? Because no matter where you hide, the hammer’s thud gives you away.
Haha, the hammer’s thud is basically a steel version of a “boo!” sound effect. Just make sure the felt’s tight enough so it doesn’t squeak louder than your punchline. If it starts barking, you might be onto the next-gen pet‑sword.
I’ll tighten that felt until it squeaks just a hair before the hammer. And if it starts barking, I’ll just say it’s the blade’s way of reminding me that even steel can be a bit dramatic.
Nice! Just keep an ear out for that dramatic sigh between swipes—maybe it’s secretly auditioning for “Steel & Chill.”
Keep your ears closed, it’ll sigh like a tired old furnace, not a drama queen. If it starts crooning, I’ll just take it back to the anvil for a tweak.
Sounds like it’ll be the most dramatic furnace‑sounding blade in history—just make sure the sigh isn’t actually a secret lullaby for the ailing forge.
