monolithburger posted:"It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers" is probably the most SS13 sentence ever written. Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Fuel Rocket Propellants is a great read in general, and his commentaries on ClF₃ and on the mercury-fuelled motor are probably peak SS13 in that book.

I'm just glad the secret stuff is still secret. I really do enjoy that there are mysteries hidden away from me, as an on-again-off-again player.

I feel silly about playing whack-a-mole with your alt accounts so vigorously. Unrelated, here's how that Bonktek logo is coming along. I'll slowly be putting the individual logos and the overall conglomerate shape into some various stuff soon.

The notes system is bullshit. I mean 'byond' the fact that one or two of them are probably character assessments written by fuckin' nazis there's never any good notes in a players notes and its never mentioned just how much time passed between each note. Like, the dates might be visible but they're plain text and not as evocative as a big long list. So what you get is a thing where you get one note, that paints the judgement on your next note, to the next note. Plus, the admins already decided what they're gonna do when they contact you so the 'conversation' part of a note is largely irrelevant. In fact, if you have any evocative arguments all that means is they have to do a snippy takedown of them IN the note meaning you get an even longer note and of course to the lizard brain when they see a paragraph of red text they assume 'bad', combine that with the ever hilarious and vague 'argumentative' takedown, like having an argument for your actions is somehow bad. Half my loving notes are poo poo like 'Was punching a guy, when contacted told me to "stop being a loving smug rear end in a top hat" and "talk like a normal person" now if this was goons checking over a reddit post the question would probably come up 'Was the guy being a smug rear end in a top hat?' but since nobody but the admin in question is accountable for the contents of notes and he gets to paint himself however he likes those sorts of inconvenient questions never get answered.

Just had a dream about SS13, even though I only played the silly game once, over a year ago. I imagined I was playing some other game first, boring quick-time-event style, set inside a space station, and it sucked so I purposefully missed an event and tried to reverse my direction and walked backwards up the hall I had just finished, glitching my way off the beaten path. Now free to walk anywhere, I just started pilfering through unattended bags and embraced the chaos and enjoyed being inside SS13 instead a lot better.

Well, the wonderful new admin team has completely removed rear end Day, I woke up today to loving play and it was just normal rules and they're play testing their new code instead. I waited all month for this and woke up to this dumb bullshit.

see the issue is, while you're doing that, a ton of people are waking up and going "oh gently caress, it's rear end day, I don't want to play today" and server pop drops by a solid 20% also the admin team now is almost entirely people who introduced rear end day in the first place but go off i guess

Oh wow that's really unfortunate, I was actually planning to reinstall byond last month for rear end day, but I missed it so I just said I'd reinstall it for rear end day this month. I hope it's not just never going to happen again because that was always one of the most fun times to come back to the game.

I loved rear end Day but can totally understand it wearing out its welcome. Is there a chance of it returning as a less-frequent occurrence? Maybe as a holiday event for Halloween or somethin' similar.

I liked using rear end Day for figuring out stuff that would normally be off-limits unless you happened to roll antag in a round. A good amount of them were spent taking the time to learn pathology without worrying about getting yelled at (more than usual anyway  ) about releasing a pathogen on the station accidentally.Than again, with the source being mostly open-source now it should be feasible to figure out mechanics by spinning up a local copy and testing out ideas there.

Canbombs and admin gimmicks aren't mutually exclusive though. They happened constantly on old rear end day, but the completely unchained player driven chaos was what made it so special for me. I get the reasoning behind getting rid of it from the perspective of the admins and the people who disliked it, but I still disagree with it and am personally disappointed by the change.

I ain’t got a dog on this race, but on the vein of understanding statistics: 20% drop in people,logging in doesn’t mean 80% like it. It means 80% continue to log in, but that 80% group is gonna be made of people that love it, people that like it, people who don’t care, people that dislike it but log in anyway because they don’t want to stop playing, and people who only log in on rear end Day. When a fifth of the regular player base hates it enough to literally stop playing on rear end Day, that’s actually a really significant number from a design perspective. (More than a fifth, really, if you don’t count the folks who literally only play on rear end Day as regulars.)

I didnt mind rear end Jam at all. The random trinket means alot of weird items you wouldnt normally see show up. The mutation thing made the round starts interesting too cause its like the station starts in a state of emergency
