The Urinator is one of the lesser known periods of David Bowies career, spanning from 1947 to 1951, but honestly I think it's one of his more original ones.

I would like to know more.

Basic story is that in BYOND, the framework that SS13 is built in, everything is an object. Including the UI, probably the individual text in chat, everything. Someone figured out a way to grab the UI with their character and eat it.


This is probably one of the lesser weird things that have happened in SS13's history, which includes things like an admin having to try and find a single log/screenshot where someone wasn't farting so he could turn that in to the FBI without having to explain why farting is so ubiqitous on SS13.

Two different people, I'm afraid. The original one was by Bulmer, who is a generally normal, if weird, sing-y person who does art and lives in a magical place known as Manchester.

The one you're thinking of is The Glavwen, who is Welsh and turned out to have a furry for a wife who did the art for that advent calendar.

Talking 'bout Billy Mitchell cheating at vidya games in the schad thread:

vdarknight posted:

You know what?
gently caress him.
I (back in the speccy days*) was regularly in the top 100 of beating games, with proof. It was important, in a very, very small way. I worked like gently caress to beat them and was proud that I had done so on my own, using skill, practice and no bloody sense at all.
But I did it. If some prick swanned up and claimed to have beaten said game, s/he would have known that we would have demanded evidence - and if you'd faked it provably, we'd have eaten your heart.
He is loving with nerds - we are obsessive, mental and really mean in our world. It is important (not really) enough that we pay attention to what is going on.
This smart-arse thinks he can out-think us 'cos of a lovely haircut, a trimmed beard and loving awful ties. You wanna patronise us? Well, bring it. oval office.
The schadenfreude? I'm pissed off that a dickhead has annoyed me through cheating. He's proved he's a scumbag and I'm getting actually annoyed that he thought we wouldn't notice. Pathetic.

I think they meant Roma, who are not Travelers, though? Travelers are their own thing and primarily a british isles offshoot, complete with it's own british version of 'oh they all steal you know?'.

I agree with the jist of the quote, though. We're hella loving racist about Roma people, and I've known several people who I figured weren't racist cockbags just casually throw out that line as if it was 100% natural and truthful. :smith:

Oh god okay.

So back in the deeps of time before I was adminned, there was a brand new poison added that was basically an immediate death sentence with very little chance of survival even if you had a fully stocked medbay ready to rock the instant you got dosed: Initropidril. Through subterfuge, spying, begging, and good old fashioned skulduggery I had managed to get the recipe. Unfortunately, word got out that I had the recipe. I couldn't go a single round without some dickweed grabbing me and welding me into a closet to try and force me to give them the recipe or the like, and this wasn't slowed down no matter how many times the jerks got banned (for when they weren't antags). So in a fit of exasperation, I told one guy that the coders had implemented fluid tracking, and that this was key to the recipe: You had to piss in a container, drink it, piss again, drink THAT, and piss yet again. This would still appear as 'urine' if you analyzed it but it's totally triplepiss you guys trust me i swear.

That got them off my nuts for about a week, but then the abductions resumed apace because obviously it wasn't working. Oh, i said, I forgot to mention - it only works if the pisser has B+ blood.

For the next few MONTHS, whoever rolled captain would IMMEDIATELY haul balls to medbay, look up in the med computer everyone with B+ blood, and two minutes later they'd have some poor assistant cornered in some godforsaken maintenance tunnel somewhere, forcing them at gunpoint to drink their own piss. That was YEARS ago and i still get asked about it once in a while.

This is easily the greatest scam I have ever pulled in SS13 and will probably be a record I never beat.
