 Synth is actually helping me in a PM right now (I didn't forget about you, they were the one who initiated it), and we discussed a few concepts:

Megacorporations primarily sell food and patented bio-augments (corps have widely varying abilities with a single unifying theme, and players can make their own corps), and do so in service of their eldritch gods. Each cosmic abomination is the mascot for the company (in some form, so imagine McDonalds is actually run by a cult to Ronald McDonald and the gang) and is the source of both the food and biomods made by their pet corporation.

That's just the basics. There would still be the basic classes, but they would have slightly different flavor (Paladin oaths are written in employee manuals and clerics can use their gods' merch as holy symbols, for some examples), and we still need lore for why the world is this way, even if the players don't exactly know it right off the bat.

 This is really interesting and I wish I could hang around to discuss more ideas but I've a bunch of work to do. Here's some stuff real quick:

Sounds neat! I doubt this is really what you're going for, but it reminds me of The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, a fantastic indie comic. I honestly don't think you need to have in depth lore for why merch is magic and all that, it's just how the world works. (Of course if you have a hankering for a lore dump there ain't nothing wrong with that.) I could see a Killjoys style world with punk war bands fighting against the mega corporations, holding onto the scraps of memories and real life that matter to them and that are being swallowed up the major companies. 

I don't know if this will make sense if you haven't read the Killjoys. 

 Hey! Here for a moment!

I have not, but I read a synopsis on Wikipedia. It was not very descriptive, but I think I got the gist. I was thinking each eldritch god would have their own goals, so one of them may want to strip away individuality, but another may want to turn people into monsters so that it feels more at home.

And you're right in that I probably don't need to develop how the world wound up like this, but I should develop at least three megacorps to start with for lore.

 I could go for a story with cybernetics and animal-human hybrids and back alley bounty hunters. Ginjaninjaowo had a good video with those vibes. It's the newest oe, I think//

 Well, I could include a bit of cyber, I guess. It wouldn't be too out of place.

Furries/catgirls/whatever you want to call human-animal hybrids would 100% be there.

Back-alley bounty hunters? Sure! The characters of this world are up to your imagination!

 Yeah i just love cyperpunky stuffs

Any exciting dinner plans for you guys? For me I'm gonna make lemon chicken.

Also I went to the DMV yesterday and for whatever reason my dreams last night decided they needed to include the DMV bathroom.

I also got to see "genius" deductive reasoning. Part of the dream decided the plot was, "Kids decide to have unapproved camping trip in woods. Parents find clearing with a big teepee in the center and one of the kids nearby but decided to not look into the big teepee at all."

 I need a book that's just a collection of all your crazy dreams. They're so entertainin' to hear, especially for someone like me who doesn't dream.

*opacities into existance*

Would have a couple issues probably. Part of it being that truly describing accurately can be difficult when there's a context that doesn't translate the best. I know I've had dreams that will take some awful horrible concept that in traditional storytelling is more fit for a depressing drama but because of how the dream handles it, it becomes almost lighthearted. Plus all the randomness of dreams where it's like, "Okay there's 50 details to describe and we gotta trim it down." Or the situations where there's additional context where other thoughts come into play. (Like the previous night's dreams deciding to incorporate some characters I've thought of for a series of stories, though I haven't written any.)

And a lot of context can be forgotten. Last night's dream decided to have a series of BB Gun fights. Decided to be like, "Okay it's April 1st and you're back in high school. You know a bunch of those people from the church group you go to? Let's fight!" But then a lot of other things from the dream I don't remember.

So how's it goin' for y'all?

Severely bored, you?

IIM TIRED OF WAITING FOR THE NOTIFS TO COME BACK!!! >(
