You'll never believe what Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson did for a living...

markup tips · 0

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

Those are such boring names for guns. I would not name a gun I invented after my last name. I would go with something cool, like THE ELIMINATOR, or HULL-PUNCHER.

But I'm bad at naming things, or at least very obvious. You can tell just looking at my Pokemon. Pikachu? Oh, his name's Bolt. Charmander? Totally naming him Ember (which is an actual attack that he uses. Ember used ember...). My Pidgey will be Gust...and so on and so forth.
