/tg/Station 13

I've had some cool conversations on the discord with people about the gym so I thought a thread might be cool, too. I've heard anecdotally that having a place to talk about it can be pretty encouraging and helpful.

I've been going to the gym mostly daily since mid-December. It was my New Year's Resolution and I've been pretty alright at staying on top of it. I go in late and do like a half hour of interval on an elliptical, then 3 sets of 10 reps on the gym machines while alternating leg and arm days. I...

Recently, I've been confused on whether or not it is allowed to ignore your team antag status and continue to just do your job.
In this thread , multiple admins encourage it.
However, this ban included punishment for it, afaik.

Please clarify!

Rule 12 is a confusing rule, that is so bad it has to be explained to admins when they are candidated.
The current rule 12 is as follows:
12. This is a sandbox roleplaying game
The purpose of the game is to have fun roleplaying. Play-to-win gameplay that ruins the purpose of the game at the expense of others is against the rules.
I have a few problems with this, mainly in the fact 'Play-to-win Gameplay is inherently a very loose and non-defining term.
What does it even mean?
I thought we were...

Oh, so what about meta-station makes it the most popular map besides for social inertia. Is there anything from Mehta that in particular makes it feel better to play?

I saw text to speech being talked about on discord, and I currently LOVE it. But! I have heard of people not playing because of it.
Do you like it? Why? Why not?

Personally, I love how the text to speech is like. I love that I can eavesdrop on people while hiding behind a wall. I like how you can pick a voice for your character now. It makes for fantastic funny moments when the TTS system messes up and says something in a funny way. I love how people are now typing longer (and more spell checked)...

The chef vending machine should have a pair of tongs in it. Tongs allow you to pick up food from a tile away and also feed people from a tile away, so you can pick up a burger and feed it to a fellow over the counter. This prevents hands touching the food and spreading the germs.

Tongs also made a satisfying clicking noise when you clack them together. The autolathe can print many tongs so we can have a crab rave.

Using the tong on a person with no food in it tongs them. They have been tonged!

reason: funy

Saw this PR up and wondered what people think about its core premise (Namely, that fire is meaningless). Has anyone else found this to be the case? In my experience fire is already incredibly deadly, hard to get rid of, and also frustrating because once on fire you have maybe 10 seconds max to extinguish yourself before all your clothes burn off, dropping your gear and making you unable to carry items.

During a recent round that I played on Manuel as captain I hid in a bin and waited for a nukie to open the action window to eject me from it so I could jump out and stun him. (It never happened, they fluked)

Now that I read the type baiting ruling I was wondering: should we extend the ruling to things like this?

I took a little bit of a hiatus, it was long enough for a lot of things to change, and I'm feeling a little lost. Can someone recap me on the new things that got added in the last couple of years?

I'm out of things to do in-game as a chemist other than produce meds and make narcotics so tell me some stories about your wildest most powerful/most dangerous chemical concoctions. I definitely won't test them on assistants.

It just feels kind of unintuitive and inconsistent that a borg can know full well that attacking this holoparasite will harm this human and will kill them if they continue, but still be allowed to attack the holoparasite as long as it's out.

From this headmin ruling from 2015. There's also the part about the human having to be treated if the holoparasite retreats, but I just think that to avoid confusion and add consistency, attacking a holoparasite which you know is connected to a human shouldn't be...

I've seen people being picky about the current TTS.
I think the TF2 mercs are probably the best of what we have right now.
Mothblocks' blips PR got reverted within 3 days.

Would it be possible to add some voice types, with particular accents instead of specific video game characters?

instead of the command staff having their vitals monitored by suit sensors like PEASANTS, they should have chips in their brains that start on full sensors. They can also be removed by surgery

How much of the information you gain during summon ghosts can you use when you are revived? Especially considering your ghost is now visible to others and you can interact with the round as a ghost by pointing.

i think words like FUCK and SHIT shouldn't be automatically translated so if you are a lizard who doesn't speak galactic common you will hear like Bizouxein dexting FUCK dzxingpa SHIT and if a lizard speaks in draconic near a human it's a bunch of hissy noises but also BITCH and SSSHIT

i think cusses should be universal so i know if someone is mad
