Nice novel

Water jet cutting videos are also extremely comfy

dirk_mcblade

Okay in an open system you can pressurize water enough to cut things but in a closed tank how many times can it make a power fist smash people these are the questions that keep me up at night

dirk_mcblade

I'm pretty much a dumbass but why is water vapor even a gas for SS13 game mechanics purposes? Yes, steam is a gas. But if you compress steam into a tank at a few thousand kpa doesn't it just become water? And isn't it generally impossible to compress water denser than it's liquid form? So how do we ...

I prefer a sprite position that aligns with neither feet nor head

Are there cases of admins noting people for having a middle name would be my question. Name policy seems to say humans should have a Firstname Lastname format but doesn't explicitly ban middle names. Seems like changing it to Given Name, Surname (a la passports) would fix any issue. The only name re...

I won't argue against Zhi Ping being more common on search engines but I'll just say that Mandarin Pinyin wasn't really standardized across all of China until the PRC began and there are significant Chinese populations who left China before the CCP took over and for those populations it's kind of a ...

dirk_mcblade

Both Chinese governments follow a given name / surname system (aka first name last name system). Show me a government form that does otherwise if you want to dispute this, otherwise I don't see the point over this hand wringing concerning cultural sensitivity when the game already follows a standar...

dirk_mcblade

I'm just going to add because this is interesting to think about, not necessarily to argue, I don't know if the current generally accepted worldwide system of Given name / Surname + romanization system is "good" on its merits but even countries that don't use roman alphabets still agree to...

dirk_mcblade

Dirk, you realize you're sitting here arguing against wokeism instead of the actual point, which is that it prevents people from making characters that are descended from those cultures, yes? He's saying that you can make characters from other cultures without opening up naming policy beyond the fi...

Korea is the one place I haven't seen government identication cards for so I can't speak for them having three names or not, but Korea doesn't speak for all of East Asia either even if that were true. You'd have to specify that as specifically a Korean concern. Here's three example documents right n...

dirk_mcblade

Not only does this stifle numerous good-faith names, it is also blatantly biased in favor of Western-style naming. There are countless Native American, West African, Islamic, East Asian, and Polynesian (among others I am sure...) REALWORLD human names that this would explicitly forbid. I don't see ...

I hate narcimov silicon players.

Well he's not following procedure he needs to appeal to headmins at this point

Anyone who wants to play this shit deserves to get hacked

dirk_mcblade

I fully support more people being banned from the discord and forums in general, but I'm also concerned that only the weirdos will remain so I propose when someone makes an accusation that both they and their target be banned, making it metaphorically a form of suicide bombing.

I want some Cheetos

Honestly I am ashamed I'm ashamed that he posted a lamia instead of a slime girl. Slime girls are the best monster girls because they can be any girl Also I do not care how hot the snake girl is, because just like arachnids you will not survive a relationship with one. Actually there is at least on...

Cool now I know how to get myself permabanned without actually doing some fun griefing to earn it

The scaley mafia strikes again

dirk_mcblade

Every time I see someone play a black character it comes uncomfortably close to offensive stereotype or greytider. "Black people are basically irl tiders" Just had a glimpse of the future just wait for /pol/ to start spreading that one and SS13 gets a page over at the ADL. I get assaulted...

I assume by the full multicultural experience you mean slurs against ethnic groups so specific you didn't know they even had their own slurs Although this is a funny joke it's not what I mean. On Terry we have a genuinely large mix of ethnic groups that play. Sweeping all the way around from North ...

On the opposite end of the spectrum you have twitter which with its 140 character limit I think has contributed to the internet becoming a collection of halfwits.

Both of you in trans socks, but not in my DMs.

To be honest I think everyone viewing a random guy in discord who's planning on "working out" probably shouldn't be surprised by what happened. I think they joined an already existing call between (at least) JohnFulpWillard and Gupta? Could be wrong That's also funny but the guy should be...

Hey the zyb index proved to be useful and should remain as the official system to measure the RP/powergame level of players. iirc someone caught a perma recently because an examination across several rounds revealed that, in addition to griefy behavior, they used say 0 times in the average round Ev...

Also I hate to give fulp credit for anything but their internal affairs agent is probably a good match for Manuel. ie kill your objective with no collateral damage because you work for nanotrasen undercover. Seems like that could fix the issue ICly if that was made the most common antag on Manuel.

dirk_mcblade

You can't joke about bombs on airplanes, I'm pretty sure jokes about being heretic on a space station also wouldn't fly making this an IC issue. You could have been planning 711 for all they knew.

dirk_mcblade

I think it's simple. First of all don't call the rule in MRP murderboning, it's not murderboning unless the player intends to kill people on a station wide level, don't muddy the waters. Honestly I think the intent behind the rule on MRP is to stop people from maxcapping, plasma flooding, or murderi...

I don't understand why admins give themselves extra work by going after names and endless appeals over it when the name isn't even something juvenile but rather Doom.

It's not like empathy is a switch you can just turn on or off, either you care about other people's feelings or you don't. Some people do and some people don't.

dirk_mcblade

Crag got banned for two days unless my math is bad, there isn't anything left to appeal

dirk_mcblade

That's not what bad faith means The admin has an obligation to succinctly explain their side of the issue. This is a situation where a sec office gulagged someone for acting like a tider. It shouldn't require the appeal writer to read War & Peace to understand the admin's point. It seems like a...

People aren't for having Aspergers, or Autism, or similar things. Harassed, maybe, but even then people will usually go "yo dude what the fuck that's not cool". Unfortunately, this is not precisely correct. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/half-people-killed-police-suffer-mental-disab...
