I survived the depths of space as a miner only to die stupidly to candy thrown at me that I stupidly decided to ear in Escape. And I even knew not to eat floorpills! ARGH!

All I know about genetics is that I tried to inject myself with the cool mutations and nothing happened. Apparently it's more complicated than I thought.

Also, I hosed up throwing a blanket over the monkeys and they drat near instakilled me in a half second. Little bastards. How are you supposed to do it?

Then again I always ended up blowing up toxins. Aside from the one time i smoked a cigarette and somehow blew up the entirety of botany. I'm pretty sure I adminhelped saying "er, so in advance i'm sorry, but what the gently caress"

Didn't you know smoking kills?!

So um

lovely Bill messaged me, he finally found his phone charger so he was returning some missed calls and voicemails, and if you left him a message back in May asking about a pork recipe, he is very sorry for confusing the poo poo out of possibly your mother? He wasn't sure about the relationship, just that a middleaged woman answered the phone and although he insists he was on his best behavior, long story short she did not expect to be talking to lovely Bill in a basic day, so if you wind up having a real weird conversation with your mom or whatever later, he says he's sorry.

This sounds like one weird round of admin gimmicks. I approve.

Ironically this is what they claim the goonstation mods are like.

My favorite is when they go “Why can’t we have sexist/racist names or use slurs?!” and try way harder to rules lawyer why they should be able to do that rather than just, you know, play the game and have fun?

Immigrants go to a place to live. No one goes to Space Station 13 to live.

I feel like “Poor Unlucky Bastard” might be more appropriate, or some randomized slightly disparaging job names like “Monkey Punching Bag”, “Clown Fart Receptacle”, “Chemist”...

Just give Security a pretend "Deputy" badge they can hand out to people. Doesn't actually do anything or grant access anywhere (it's just a crude slip of paper with "Deputy" written on it. Incorrectly, according to the examined description), but you can stick it in your ID slot and point at it to feel like a big man on the station!

"Junior Deputy" stickers would be a great patronizing gift/punishment/insult

People bring up the very good point that it’s hard to port ss13 because it has so many features and it’s so enmeshed with Byond. I’m surprised these ports don’t start a bit simpler and trade some of the more complex game elements for more user friendliness.

E: Like, the closest thing to an SS13 port I've played is Unfortunate Spacemen, which has more fps-ey modes but has the basic conceit of "all of you are spacemen but one of you is a changeling" which obviously doesn't have the same level of complexity, but it's a functioning game in 3d with at least some of the panic, fear, mistrust and getting ejected into space. I wish the ports would try to take their version of what made the game fun and make it more accessible rather than just copy everything from Byond into an incompatible format.

I think it's because people want to port SS13 over to a new engine, but they neglect to realize that the game developed over a decade from a whole mob of volunteer coders of questionable and varying skill levels. They want to replicate the game, but the reason the game is the amazing thing it is is because it's a horrible rats nest of code that's just been added to and added to for over 10 years now. Trying to replicate a house of cards from the top down doesn't really work very well or very easily.

I know. The reach exceeds their grasp every time. I feel like starting with a fun Space Mafia esque game and then building on that would be the smarter move. At least, before trying to put in a full fidelity atmospheric simulation

Honestly even that Unfortunate Spacemen game has low population. That's rather depressing as, again, it's the only game that captures even a glint of the feeling that SS13 has. Completely unintentionally, as far as I'm aware. And that's with far less features and complexity, emphasis on action, simpler objectives and shorter round length.

Although they do have weekly community on the weekend. Great fun if you're in the discord.

Apparently it's very hard to replicate even a small part of the SS13 comedy factory.

I wish there were more adventure maps that had less sperg and more accessibility.

I wanna see a series of lemming like puzzle maps where the crew uses their destructive potential for... well maybe not good, but slightly constructive purposes.

I know there are adventure zones, but how do I get there? And can they actually be “won”? From my understanding it takes a dedicated telescience team and pure luck and you die pretty much instantly.

Would be nice to have a vr version of an adventure zone.

Space station 14 and Unity Station are the latest attempts to port the game. Still active but not sure how feature complete they are.
