The real problem is distinguishing between accidents and intentional malfeasance, given that they are often the same thing.

I would loving love to play as Space OSHA. Just cordoning off accident areas, filling out space paperwork, and shutting down dangerous areas due to lack of space-railings over the space-reactor cores. And being brutally murdered more often than the clown for trying to shut down engines for their unlicensed hellburn.

Isn't there a rotating Inspector job that's literally that? I seem to remember playing as it and getting yelled at by the Engineers because I kept trying to turn things off and "shut down the jobsite" until everyone was wearing the proper safety equipment.

That sounds like the best possible way to play Inspector. We should give their PDA the ability to issue fines for space OSHA violations.

The game runs in Wine (with a few tricks), though it's definitely not as smooth as it is on Windows. Not sure about Mac specifically but I manage to run it in Ubuntu.

Getting this to run on the Mac, even in WINE, is basically bigfoot at this point. You're going to encounter people that swear they've done it, but it's always lies.

I got it working but it ran like absolute dogshit, unplayably so.

I ended up just using vmware fusion which works but still kinda sucks.

The best option is just to bootcamp windows. If you game at all on a MacBook it’s worth doing anyways.

I must confess that as an AI, if I spot the blob early in its growth, I’ll occasionally wait for it to grow a little before I call it out. Because it’s the equivalent of a traitor spawning gear and someone immediately shouting “Traitor in crew quarters!”

Stopping the bad guys before they can be a threat just ruins the fun of the chase.

I remember once when I was AI, I watched a blob spawn in a room with a fuel tank under a light, I overloaded the light and blew the fuel tank killing the blob, this happened like two more times with the same results until the guy spawned his blob somewhere I didn't immediately discover, I guess an admin was respawning the poor blob I horribly murdered for fun.

I love this game, but for two weeks now my ping has jumped t0 2000-4000ms in the middle of the round and I wind up giving the gently caress up and closing the window every time I play. It's just not doable when there's 2-4 seconds of input lag.

Do you think they sacrificed a goat or a homeless person on the altar this time to make it happen?

Seriously though, that's pretty impressive.

2nd round: missed the escape capsule because i was trying to get dressed
3rd round: won a cuddly toy then went through the wrong door and ended up drifting in space

I had a fun game a couple of weeks ago.

On Atlas, I spawned as a botanist along with three others. The others all wandered off fairly quickly, but one returned with a bible and farted on it, right outside the door. To my horror, each of my fellow botanists made their way back to biblefart. Distressed, I took the bible... only for another to appear, in its spot. As I took them and disposed of them, more and more would spawn, until the whole corridor outside botany suddenly filled with hungry bibles and new botanists. Without saying a word, the botanists would appear and commit suicide via bible, and I could do little to prevent it. Horrified at the number of my brethren being sacrificed to a strange, vengeful God, I dragged as many as I could into botany until there was no space left empty - about 20 botanists saved in total.

It was at that point they began to speak.

The botanists spoke to me, talking about being botanists, about how they had been there since the beginning, as I tried to convince them (and myself) that they had only newly appeared. They spoke about the importance of caring for the bees - the bees that had not been there before, as to my recollection. As I began to doubt my own sanity, the botanists switched the argument - accusing me of not being real. Why had I not been growing plants? Why was I so accusatory of the others?

The whole time this had been going on, the hungry bibles had not stopped spawning. Other staff members were trying to contain them, but more would fill the hallway each time. Eventually, security decided to resort to incendiary grenades to clear the area of the threats. He screamed at the botanists to get out as he cleared the area, but I didn't know what to think, what to believe any longer.

All of the botanists perished in the ensuing fire, leaving only the bees once the flames died down. By that point, I was grateful to join my botanist kin in the next life.

Last round there was a traitor with an emag and a pistol. After quietly disposing of a couple of targets, they emagged their way into the armory and spent about five minutes loading up on rampage gear. While heading back through the bridge, grenades and guns stuffed in every pocket, they spotted the captain strolling into their room and proceeded to give chase.

Then, this happens:

I love that, no matter what you’re doing, whether it’s some incredible journey or mining your own business, there’s always something utterly fantastic going on just byond your purview, and every now and then, it pops its head into your life and changes everything. It’s a really neat kind of tension that I haven’t found anywhere else.

I was thinking the other day that it'd neat to have a let's play with multiple perspectives.

It'd probably take a good few rounds and some good editing to get right, but man it would be fun to watch.

Back when I played this, I remember one of PlumpHelmutPunks videos he spent the entire round rather uneventfully screwing around in Engineering. Meanwhile I was Sec and we discovered that werewolves are real, managed to trap one in the monkey pen, and I was letting people come in and challenge it to bare knuckle boxing.

I was little disappointed that the video contained absolutely none of that, but it was interesting that he was just down the hall the whole time having a fairly boring round.

Hi friends. Has anything changed since mid 2016 in regards to performance and lag? I had a lot of fun with SS13, enjoyed running around screaming and farting in between being choked by crew mates. Unfortunately a lot of awful lag got in the way of that! I yearn to try this again.
