What happened?

500 incoming posts about a certain demographics

space station 14 just has more content

heavy roleplay, the game was never meant for you to not interact with 90% of its systems out of fear of being banned

>>713876864 (OP)
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.

>>713876864 (OP)
Furries
>>713876969
It has less but better controls

>>713876942
Correct. Gatekeeping matters.

>>713876942
I do this.

>>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)
Autism

>>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.

>>713878141
>noooo you have to jack me off
Jesus Christ.

why don't you make your own server?

>>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.

what ever happened to unity station?

>>713878360
>mods don't adhere to the double dog dared rule
weak

>>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.

>>713878470
Died. Dev didn't know what he was doing and SS14 just became more popular.

>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

>>713878141
>fail RP

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
Sorry pal, but you didn't behave like a dead-inside office worker, so now you're getting a week ban.

>>713878510
lmao

>>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.

>>713877267
You faggots cannot develop worth shit, atleast trannies actually do some janny work

>>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

>>713879954
That's what being an assistant is for, doofus. Just ask to shadow someone with a real job.

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

>>713880238
/tg/ isn't even /tg/ anymore since they don't want anything to do with 4chan. It's just TG.

>>713876864 (OP)
Hasn't BYOND been getting DDOSed for around a month now

>>713881117
That ended like a month ago.
You could still direct-connect to servers, anyway. It was just the hub listings that was down.

I assume he thought that SimpleFlips invented it or something.
Shout out to SimpleFlips.

Vox are the only acceptable furry race

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?

>>713881523
liggers were already a step too far and letting them be anything higher than greyshits or janitors was a sign of the end.

Plasmemes were fucking kino though, actual best players.

>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.

>>713878470
The only thing it had going for it were shuttle crashes, but SS14 has that too now.

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

>>713881926
They're live service anon, and that comes with a psychological can of worms.

>>713882167
See >>713880202. It's pretty much your only option.

>>713882167
Not since tg banned "ligger" years ago
vgstation is just eternally dead and don't even have liggers

>>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.

>>713882380
>A moth
ew.

>>713880202
where is this discord linked

>>713882497

>>713876864 (OP)
Barotruma exists
So does pulsar and a whole host of other non moderated tranny free games

>>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

>>713882623
Nah as long as you're on the manifest you're part of the crew, carrying an ID on you doesn't matter, but your idea sounds pretty fun.

>>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

>>713882814
Neat.

>>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

>>713883258
>YEAH THERE WE GO GAY LOCKER SPACED MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

>>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.

>>713883592
Is that in the rules?

>>713883825
I'd assume they file it under "bothering admins" or something, since it gives them a message like you just a-helped every time you do it.

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.

>>713884481
No no, you got it all wrong. If people get butthurt enough you'll get banned as antag anyway.

>>713879270
It was fun playing my Diona while it lasted, still a real shame it had to die

>>713884636
>under 20 people are enough for a round or two
lol

>>713884769
/vg/ still has Diona, though I dunno if you can choose to start the round as them since I've never checked.

>>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.

>>713885041
20 is such a boring number where either nothing will happen for 6 hours until power runs out or one guy killing everyone within 30 minutes

>>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.

>>713881168
You can't log in

>>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.

>>713885437
Oh damn, that's fucked up. At least you're free, now. Free to not worry about how trans-furries have taken over this once great game.

I'm going to bed now, good night, angry old people from a game that's been dead spiritually for years now.

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

I hope hufflaw and blackrayjack are dead.

>>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

>>713876864 (OP)
>What happened?
Taken over by PNWern homos and troons
If anyone wants a read there's a Kiwifarms thread detailing all the lolcows

>>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

>>713887478
why did pomf groom pjb?

>>713887478
what does this have to do with aphex twin?

>>713887793
The dev team went from 10% trans in 2020 to 70% trans today. Don't know if you can blame Pomf instead of MK Ultra shit during COVID

>>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

>>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.

>>713889682

What did i do to you?

/tg/ used to be fun but got taken over by discord troons, codebase was sterilized and the players just treat it like a chatbox

Hippiestation was fun but suffered chronically low populations until it died

Baystation and others have really cool and unique codebases but being HRP means all text no fun

Goon gives me the ick

The only fun I've had with ss13 in the past year or two is TGMC, atleast "they" can't fuck up a shooter game

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.

what is it about SS13 that makes it so attractive to the most schizophrenic trannies and furries on the planet

>>713896435
Turns out you can express yourself really easily in it as you want and both of those types like roleplay, so its just kinda inevitable.

>>713896435
They exist everywhere but the intelligence and insanity requirements of appreciating SS13 filter out most normal people
