It necessitates the kind of people willing to spend an unhealthy amount of time online doing nothing but sifting through verbal refuse at the best of times. Or in other words, they do it for free.
>>713877267
Dude, the mods for this game, in all servers, are so fucking annoying.
I quit playing because they're all such whiny cocksuckers. Especially the goonservers.
>>713876864 (OP)
The same thing that happens to every community led project that isn't outright run by nazis. It got subverted by hyper-leftist troons.
>>713878002
Goon, like the real SomethingAwful, is so completely far up its own ass that they'll ban you for saying "Bitch" because it's "gendered language", whatever the fuck that means.
>>713878232
I miss when all servers had a "it was funny" rule, where if you did something dumb but it was funny enough you didn't get banned.
All mods are now gay and trans and hate fun and will DEMAND you treat them and their friends like the main characters.
>>713876864 (OP)
old SS13 fan.
SS14 has gotten to the point is just plays so much better now.
runs better, more complex systems means it easier to code new stuff, it on steam and not byond, ect, ect.
i quite enjoy SS14, i just avoid the official server cause of the trannies infighting cause a HUGE shift.
there's plenty of other servers too.
>>713878348
Already split playerbase.
A /v/ server pops up every few months, people play for like two weeks, then it dies. It's hard to coordinate a bunch of autists to all play at the same time.
/vg/ is at least alive on weekends and for like three hours in the afternoon on weekdays.
>>713878360 >gaylonial marines
unsurprising
funniest shit was that my longest running schizo that still pops up occasionally after a decade was because I DIDN'T ban someone, because it was funny
There are few terms in the world that piss me off as much as that one, because it always comes from some oversensitive ninny who's whining about something stupid.
>>713878626
For years, the bigger problem was the type of guy who NEEDED to be spewing epic joaks every three seconds. SS13 is an inherently funny game, you have to be OPEN to a little silliness most of the time, nobody thought anyone would be able to forget that. Nobody thought to write it down.
>>713876864 (OP)
werid mix of heavy roleplaying and actual game combined with shit like >>713877267>>713878141
it was doomed from the beginning since positions of power, no matter how impotent, always attract the biggest anti-fun cocksuckers around.
>>713879013
I still miss Hestia because it was the only furry server that actually let you do funny shit, like pic related. ERPers had no protection, racism against furry races was fine, and blowing up the station was fine as an antag if you gave yourself a reason, even a half-assed one.
>>713879253
Yeah, the same thing can even be said for moderation here. It will start fine and be made up of people who actually use the thing their moderating so they know how to joke around, but eventually they leave and are replaced by people who are mentally unwell.
They SEEM like good replacements since they memorize all the rules and report things, but they're actually just terminally online faggots who want power because they have none in real life.
>>713879437
- The demographic of which is closely intertwined with sexual freaks like furries, trannies, and gays. At least all the pedos stayed on Lifeweb, for now. >>713879519
Yeah they can code, at the very least. HRT is the modern-age crack, and instead of blacks being destroyed by it, it's nerds.
>>713876864 (OP)
I always wanted to try it but the game doesnt really have any way to practice your roles offline and I'm terrified of embarrassing myself in front of strangers online
I haven't played SS13 in years and just learned of SS14 from this thread. Is there a /vg/ or /tg/ station equivalent? If not what is the most tolerable server
>>713879954
You're missing the point, failure is the fun part. If everything goes perfectly then its not SS13.
The entire concept of the game is "something (catasrophically) bad happens"
>>713880028
/vg/ is experimenting with hosting their on 14 server. Join the discord if you want to try it with them.
Note that SS14 is entirely made by trannies, like, 100% of the dev team is them and they constantly fight and have full control over their own hub, so servers that they don't like are banned.
>>713880028
/tg/ went gay and /vg/ is only populated for one round every two weeks and also got ran off of /vg/ because of an ai slop spammer that jannies refused to do anything about even when directly begged
How's the state of SS14 vs SS13? If I want to return to spess man should I just go with ss14, or there are still many mechanics from ss13 not implemented in ss14?
>have fun, open ended imsim where a bunch of different people all are placed into remote station that's under siege from everything and the kitchen sink >extreme freedom naturally means people explore the far reaches of idiocy because its fun and it'll be reset anyways >rounds turn into a mixture of Gremlins 2 and Space Balls where a few brave souls try to do their jobs and maintain order/destroy the station amid the natural chaos that ensues >bunch of gayfags act like the german degenerates they are and try to turn it into an actual job simulator because everyone comes home from 8 hours of clerical work or moving boxes so they can RP doing more fucking clerical work or moving more boxes >except they're still degenerates so they add perverted RP options to act out their disgusting fantasies
>>713881635
Mechanic-wise it's pretty much just modern TG. >>713881691
Yeah that's why I like vox. They're shitbirds and are restricted to always be shitbirds.
And yes I enjoy building plasma boxes.
>>713880238
AI slop spammer wasn't that bad but it was the last straw because /vg/ as a board had already become inimical to anything that wasn't some manner of slop. >>713881635
Personally I don't think it's worth it because just about every SS14 server is heavily based on TG, and TG is not a fun codebase.
>>713881796
I actually don't understand /vg/ as a board. EVERY thread there is literally the exact same korean slop gatcha game. There's fifty threads and all of them are the exact same. What do people even talk about in them?
At least STALKER General still exists, but I miss Mount & Blade General too.
Okay so are there any SS14 servers that are active that actually allow fun. I can deal with not being able to be racist against actual demographics but getting banned for fictional ones is over the line and just anti-roleplay at that point
>>713882253
/vg/ DOES have lizard people, and even the skrell frog dudes, but you can only get them through admin fuckery or wizard/xenoarch magic.
Also we had five good rounds tonight since it's the weekend. Europoors are sadly fucked and will never be up on time.
Biggest culture shock for me moving from 13 to 14 was having silicon actually be required to listen to me despite being a moth. I think it works on valid ID for silicon.
>>713882538
Baro with randoms is actually fucking terrible. It's either "Oops I overloaded the reactor again lol whoopsies!"
or
"You didn't give me the right chemical while healing me, and are now banned for failure to do your job as a non-traitor"
with zero inbetween.
>>713882380
yeah SS14 doesn't operate on asimov, but rather "crewsimov". anyone with a station ID is human, so if someone drops their's you're free to beat them to death
>>713882683
That is how it works on wizden though, your HUD (which shows someone’s most authoritative ID) determines crew. If you see a ? You are free to try and beat them down and bring them to security
>>713882609
Sounds like you can't act like a chill guy buddy.
I get away with so much trolling in baro simply by having a smooth voice and staying on mechanic or assistant. Never pick security/medic/engi/captain in pubs, let the retards fight each other for those roles while you put sodium in places you know will flood
>Goon station says racism isn’t allowed against genetic races, like lizards or pugs because it doesn’t make sense
I feel like the opposite is true. I can understand the “once race human race” dogma left leaning people say, but when you’re actively a different creature, with unique abilities linked entirely to that race, wouldn’t racism be more likely?
It’s just dumb, man
>>713883051
Goon is the same station that added the "pride locker" >Rainbow-painted locker filled with fag jumpsuits >It was added back when some based players were still there >It gets lit on fire, spaced, or blown up every round >Coders seethe and crying about this, so they make the locker completely invincible and its contents fire-proof >Chemist-mains realize this and use it as a mobile bomb-shelter, detonating bombs on top of themselves and being completely immune to the blast >Coders give up and just give it an alarm system that pings every admin whenever anyone interacts with the locker, like opening a TTV valve does on other servers
>>713883051 >it wouldn't make sense to discriminate against someone who have a goddamned snout
People discriminate based on hair color, in what world would I not look at some freak who rejected the human form, nature's perfection made in God's own image, to be some scaled thing?
>>713883258 > >Coders give up and just give it an alarm system that pings every admin whenever anyone interacts with the locker, like opening a TTV valve does on other servers
This sounds extremely silly
>>713883528
It is and it will get you banned if you just open and close the locker a bunch of times.
Same thing can be done by opening and closing TTVs repeatedly, even if there's no canisters attached to them.
Tried ss14 a while back and it just seems to have mostly the same issues as ss13 in the recent years, tranny cliques and just people who refuse to do any rp and just nod and shrug like typing anything is too much effort.
Also 1/3 round seemed to be nukies, probably because they just refuse to implement more antags for some reason.
okay so basically the game is dead unless you want to play under the most bland rounds possible where no chaos or gimmicks are allowed unless you're antag got it.
>>713876864 (OP)
A lot of people are just bitchmade these days. They're stuck in the idea of what they feel they deserve and aren't willing to take or build things for themselves, leading to nothing happening. There's more than enough players in this thread within the past 3 hours to have had a shift or two, but the average 4ch*d is more about wanting that server clay. It's not enough to play, they only want to play if the server is popular enough to be 24/7 and at worst still be double digit when it hits lowpop in the dead of night, and so they have zero drive to actually foster that kind of community, nor do they have the dedication to infiltrate a server and slowly overtake it in a few years like trannies do.
So you nigs end up getting what you deserve, you get what's proportional to the effort you put in: nothing.
>>713884636 >nor do they have the dedication to infiltrate a server and slowly overtake it in a few years like trannies do
Yeah the last time this happened, it got an internet wide smear campaign against it.
Go look up PolyMC if you wanna see how that turned out.
>>713884839
Only the baycode Diona are really fun for me with being immortal uncaring hiveminds, I remember supplying people with psionic-amps and drugs just to see what would happen.
>>713884820
If you wanted to try to say there's a too low of a number of people in this thread despite the post count, you shouldn't have picked a perfectly playable number that'd at worst require a smaller sized station, you feckless and weak zoomer.
>>713884636
That's because the game is boring as fuck at lowpop if you already know how to play it, and it still has to compete with many other games in the "games you wanna play right now" competition. Players bring in more players because it's a social game too.
>>713885005
For me it was doing dumb shit with R&D. Why did they think letting players make cloaking devices, explosive implants, and e-bows in robotics with illegal research (Which you could also get from robotics) was a good idea, I don't know, but it was very funny. >>713885185
Works on my machine.
>>713884942
The whole PolyMC thing happened because it was a schizo trying to kick out the entire dev team at once instead of actually fostering the group he'd want to see, and he basically had no actual talent in himself. It's the perfect example of how people at the other end of the horseshoe aren't as dedicated as trannies.
>>713885343
Works on your machine because you've been on the machine for years.
People trying to log in to beyond for the first time can't because byond is still getting ddos'd.
A game about silly space antics drew in too many 'no fun allowed' asshats that were too retarded to be MMO guild officers, that's what went wrong with it.
Is tgstation still around?
That was the only one I played besides the high RP russian feudal one where the power goes out every round
>>713878141 >traitor is a suggestion >brainwashing is a requirement
This is like saying your borg laws telling you to kill gives you a licence to harmbaton
>>713881926
I assume it's containment to reduce /v/ sliding under the weight of a thousand threads about said korean slop gatchas
>>713885843 >Is tgstation still around?
Yes, but /tg/ station isn't
And the other server is probably Lifeweb, last I played that all the interesting people had disappeared and what was left were the bay meta cliching fags that did nothing all round but emote to each other
>>713886239 >the bay meta cliching fags that did nothing all round but emote to each other
It baffles me that people choose to use a game filled with the brim with tons of content and gameplay systems as nothing more than a glorified textbox. May as well take it to all to Discord (not that these players don't already infest it).
>>713882167
the SS14 devs make no distinction between the two. a server that allows speciesism would get removed over their anti-discrimination rules.
PJB (SS14 lummox, webm related) literally removed several staff members after it was discovered they made an area in maints for furry bird people and it looked too disheveled
If you've ever played any roleplaying game online you knew this was coming eventually
RP servers get filled with the most anti-fun autists who actively put up guard rails to stop you from roleplaying effectively
>>713887793
also PJB himself is a groomer who flew out one of the staff who he brought onto SS14 from Citadel when they were underage and now he lives with his mother and some bpd mtf kid from texas. the cycle continues
>>713887842
you can't embed audio and that's my recommended music for this webm
>>713887772
Thing is most of the servers were low or even no rp
Goon just had people running around wearing nothing but an asshat and shitting everywhere
/tg/ 2010-14 had the right level of RP in that you were expected to act like your character but all the characters were retarded manchild psychopaths. "Go back to Bay" was a regularly insult to fun hating fags.
Bay though did have the best systems, but they never got used because people would get banned.
>someone posts vorestation in the /vg/station thread back when vorestation was still starting out >raids ensue >I join as a chef >some dude is hanging around the bar BEGGING people to eat him >no takers, even furries think he's weird >I intervene, tell him I'll eat him >invite him into the back room of the kitchen, he follows me in >I grab him, and instead of stuffing him in my belly I stuff him into the gibber >turn his meat into burgers >eat one (I told him I'd eat him, after all) and put the others out for consumption, advertising their availability over the radio >dead guy starts seething to the admins >BWOINK >"Okay that was pretty fucking funny." >spend the rest of the round relentlessly mocking him with the bar regulars, knowing his ghost is fucking losing his shit listening to it
>>713877267
I stopped playing consistently around 2016 and came back every now and again until maybe 2019? What the actual fuck happened to my 4chan-coded atmospherics sim???
I do miss those days in 21 where i just went berserk on the entirety of Lavaland as a miner. Bubblegum speedruns and hoarding enough weapons to supply 2 departments on demand, good times.
