@Slyka so, the one thing that comes to mind first is that, until relatively recently, the junctions of common BJTs were better zener diodes than cheaply available zener diodes. They aren't designed to as tight a tolerance, but they have low zener impedance (i.e. very steep I-V curve). Though using them that way, you'd more likely leave either the collector or the emitter floating, not tie it to the base.

- The "Actually that one's cooler", as in Homunculus -> Holmcross in Wild Arms (referring to a type of ancient humanoid robot)
- The "I see where you were going but that's kind of hilarious", as in Solomon -> Salmon in Ys II's Palace of Salmon
- The "How the fuck", as in Ragnarok -> Kangaroo in Tales of Phantasia
