I have no idea how to make Grog, Sarin, Boosters, or VX Gas or any of that stuff, I think the only one I know that I would keep secret is Black Powder and I'll just do an edit when I make it if I use it for some reason. Figuring out the really complicated Chem recipes involves a lot of work and possibly some amount of OCD. The fortunate thing is that they're not really needed to have fun in Chemistry and the really fun chemicals are pretty basic.

Just started looking into this, and I look forward to more videos. The clusterfuck at the end, the squabble with the guy who stole your mop bucket, and the captain literally cooking the station's budget really made video 2. I hope we see more of these sorts of events.

This whole LP is great so far, I laughed so hard at the second video. I've known about SS13 for a while, since one of my friends coded for /tg/station 13, and I have played the game twice. I haven't played it more just because of how complicated it was and because my computer was old and laggy. I have a new computer now, though...

I started playing, trying to learn how to actually do stuff. The first round that I wasn't an assistant, I was a Doctor, and 5 minutes in, a pipe-bomb went off in medbay. This blew the MD's arm off, and she had to guide me through reattaching it. I feel bad though, because I'm pretty sure that, in my ineptitude at doctoring, I accidentally smacked her a few times with her own arm. Keep up the great work, Razage. I've learned a lot from watching your videos.

I don't get the whole ballcrushing hard UI thing. It's confusing then you first play but for the most part it only takes a couple of rounds to figure things out. I don't think telling Pull and Grab apart is that confusing either (Now getting a grab to work properly is the confusing bit but lag doesn't help with that). The biggest problem I have with it is that BYOND lag really fucks with selecting and doing stuff. Apart from streamlining that, what can you do to it that won't turn it to Press [QTE chain] to table Assistant Pubbie McGee! or Press [E] to make mix into SarinWerewolfGrog foam! without losing the Hands system that makes a lot of this game unique? Also there's hundred different ways to gently caress with people, try thinking beyond Use Fist/Weapon/Object on Man.

A story along these lines: One round, I was the Head of Personnel (whose two main jobs are to change people's IDs, and busybody about the entire station), and after ten minutes or so of manning my ID Console, I wandered off for a project. Grabbing a watering can as a drink pitcher from Botany (and starting my mix with a few plants), I went around making a halfassed attempt at creating the legendary Grog, but instead ended up with a highly toxic, intoxicating, and hallucinogenic mixture of drugs, super-alcohol, and industrial strength chemicals that I dubbed "Space Nightmare". I grabbed several shotglasses, returned to my desk, and announced that whoever came, had a shot with me, and survived with their faculties and bodily functions intact would get boosted access. I became a severly braindamaged epileptic, another person was struck blind and deaf, a third was perfectly fine, walked away, and promptly exploded after taking three steps. The one person who was completely unharmed, I promoted to Captain, then drank the rest of the Nightmare and expired.

It's ridiculously involved. The chemicals started out as star trek fantasy drugs from random combinations of substances, but now most drugs have been changed to match real world things with more realistic mixes. You still just put things in a beaker and automatically get a new drug. Outside of a heater/cooler, there's none of the crazy tools real chemists have in their labs to shake and bake chemicals or whatever. It's a thing we love to hate. You used to be able to hold like 1000 units of chemicals in your blood, which meant you could literally be an untouchable, unbreakable Superman, float around in space and knockout people in one hit. Naturally, that was all chemists did for a while. Now the cap is down to 400 or something. It will pass through your system faster, you can get addicted to chemicals and you can overdose. Also, every now and then someone figures out a new way to make hell-smoke that kills everything it touches. That gets run in the ground faster than a clown on the escape shuttle. Speaking of which, I'd like to see a Breaking Bad gimmick. Spend the entire round mass producing and dealing meth, space drugs and or LSD. People would get to see chemistry in action, and you'd probably be around when it accidentally blows up. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Sep 6, 2013 |

I don't care about your job position when you do this, but at some point please play an anti-clone/genetic engineering/cyborg/all of the above activist. Be as militant as you want. I also tried playing this game, and until getting tired of the lag (was also problems on my end) I had fun playing as the janitor and barman. I did more griefing as the janitor since it's easier when you have no idea what you're doing and otherwise just doing what the janitor is supposed to do. I did make sure to put slip-warning signs where I worked though, because at the time (a year or 2 ago) I was told that not doing that could get you banned. Also people would ignore the signs and slip anyway.

 Chaplain walks onto station, finds chapel is full of gibs. Janitor decides that instead of cleaning, he would run around the room farting before escaping down the hallway.He then comes back, hits the chaplain Yap Veeson with a flash/cell assembly, crams him into a locker and spaces it.  This is the best/worst game.

You get to play this neat little research game that requires scanning lots people/monkeys, prioritizing how to use your resources and where to focus your research, keeping copious notes (in-game, via the handy printer function), and piecing together various genomes until you unlock terrible secrets like "giving yourself silly horns" or "making people fart real bad." You can also give people all kinds of entertaining negative mutations this way.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:Is it possible to hack the AI to only respond to requests with the word "please" in them? Yeah, for sure. You can add any law you want to the AI, provided you get your hands on the Freeform module and are able to reach the AI upload. As the Captain, I once turned the AI into a bloodthirsty electronic barbarian warlord who promptly turned the station into a ludicrously death-metal warrior culture with people challenging one another to brutal honour duels to win E-MAN's favour and ascend in rank. The losers were executed (if they didn't die in the fight, which they usually did) and transformed into cyborg soldiers with names like BLOOD POUNDER and FLESH GRINDER. Eventually I lost in a mythic duel against the Head of Security, who was not pleased with what I'd done to the AI, and I proved my courage by standing in a napalm shower for ten seconds and then running all the way to the Robotics lab while on fire and severely bruised before finally collapsing at their door and perishing. E-MAN made me the supreme lord of all his cyborg legions, and the HoS, having been immediately corrupted by the power and glory of being the station's Champion, left the AI's laws alone. In the end, the traitor, who had been quite successfully traitoring in the open with the AI's blessing due to his consistent success in honour duels, dueled the HoS and killed the poo poo out of him. He was made E-MAN's foremost general and we all boarded the escape shuttle to invade and destroy the weaklings at Centcom. The traitor won that round, but I like to think that we're all winners when a magical round like that unfolds.
