Carlarc's Corpse Feature Mausoleum

[carlarc]

Hello again! There's many cool feature PRs that end up on the cutting floor due to reasons good, bad, and stupid, but which still have some good concepts in them that could be picked up and reused. I'm making a list of them here because that seems like a good idea, even if 80% of the work in a PR is refining the last 20% which is usually when these die.

Feel free to post your own pickings and discuss the ones here below.

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/84413 - SP-8 Ballistic Pistol for Warden/Will be Denied
Technically not closed at the time of writing but we all know how it's going to go down. The gun has cute flavor and even unique firing sounds, so it could be used for some later spy antagonist or something like it.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/82810 - Way Too Fucking Many Syndicate Items/Denied
There might be some gold in this mountain of coal. Maybe.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/82661 - Spy Knife/Denied
This has clear implementation issues but the idea is pretty solid. It's already halfway implemented with Anne's nullblade weapon.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/82636 - Headset Disruptor/Self-Denied
An interesting idea. I like the concept of 'overload sec's headsets to cause a debuff that lets you get away from them'.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/82120 - Antigrav Nades/Staled
Cool idea! Closed due to rebranding and staling issues, never reopened. Also makes me think of a localized gravity generator, the dragon rift does something similar already.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80359 - Paint/Pepperball Guns/Staled
A funny way to get around ballistic design concerns. Staled out.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/79698 - Rabbit Infusion/Staled
Cursed as fuck, but also funny as fuck.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/79106 - Hairless Felinids/Staled
BINGUS
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78971 - Slime-Atmos Interactions/Staled
Hey that's my PR. Uh. Yeah sorry it staled out. Xenobio is in a state of flux in the codebase ATM so I can't really revive it properly, but it might jumpstart imagination.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78100 - Cut tips off foam guns/Staled
Funny. Sad it closed.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77147 - Cargo Swords/Staled
Ditto
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76493 - TTS Aliens Effects/Staled
This needs TTS code wrangling, so most likely nobody will pick it up. But yeah, it's fun.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/75456 - Purge-O-Matic/Staled
Kinda overkill as an anomaly core item honestly, but it's a good concept.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76954 - Trauma Savant/Self-Denied
I still like the concept, even if I closed this because it doesn't really work for the game. Maybe there's a way to put it in still.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/72710 - Sec Arrest HAUL Gauntlets/Self-Denied
Cool concept that has clear issues. Maybe as a module?
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70642 - Hugglebipper/Staled
Cute new lavaland mob. Needs to be revived
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/72199 - Overdrawed areas flicker lights/staled
Yet another good, stale goof pr.

While we're in the feature mausoleum, we should also look at stuff that got removed because nobody felt like reworking it into a state that meshes with SS13 as it currently stands. So many mostly finished good ideas have been scrapped just because nobody wanted to put in the effort to make it work. I want to reanimate the corpses of shit like Devils, and Nanites.
