:salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: :salt: why would they be salt that escape pods exist? Because it's pretty obvious that they're upset that pods prevented them from denying some nerd a green text in a round. no. That's not true.

I've never seen anyone ever talk about it, but in a recent PR i looked at the improvised shotgun code and apparantly you can use cable coil on it to attach a sling, letting it be put on the back

They serve no function other than granting powergaming tators their greentext. Even on rounds when evac is a bloodbath, many people still prefer to try to get to the shuttle because it's more fun. Escape pods are just a cheap powergaming tool. Forcing everyone onto the shuttle is a great design idea...

there's quite a few admins that aren't in favor of the idea of giving admin to people who ask because it sets a horribad precedent and if you ahelp "givve me admin" you're going to get your ahelp rejected because a. it's a retarded thing to ahelp and b. most of the admins aren't able to d...

he said that with our current shortage of admins, this would be impractical to enforce mabye it would be easier if there was an actual formal way to become an admin :^) Also admins barely even play at the times they're needed most. I live in California and from like 9 pm onward even Basil can be la...

The goal is just to make the game more interesting, and add a new way to do something. That's really the core of it. I'm not working on it right now. I just posted this to get the idea out there in case someone else wants to pick up this idea and make it.

The problem of things like telesci is that once a calculator is out, the meta is pretty much pushing buttons in a software outside the game. Congrats you gave a little challenge to a single coder, now that his tool/calculator is out in the wild, it is now a challenge for no one. this is a valid com...

But isn't this just forging access without a console, i mean going off what you've described, every button press on the HOP console is going to alter the ID code, stamping a few sequences of numbers here & there. If you work out the pattern & scream it over intercomms, everyone and their mo...

Like a lot of the ideas posted in this section, I'm trying to figure out what this is proposed to fix. Not enough players have access that they shouldn't have based on their job? I think the idea is to make breaking into areas you don't have access to a little more interesting than "saw throug...

As long as it's different from round to round and the HoP is still easily able to change accesses, I think this is interesting, would certainly be at least an interesting thing to try testing out It would need to be complex enough that you can't just crack the encryption and get all access every ro...

I opened a PR to refactor blood yesterday but it got meme'd by the "BALANCE" police until freeze is over. TL;DR: Bleeding is incredibly arbitrary and you can bleed out in 30 seconds or 10 minutes depending on how your damage is distributed. Brute damage to a single body part exponentially...

I hate bloodloss with a burning passion. 1. You get it at literally the worst times, usually when you are stuggling to survive and are heading to medbay 2. a shitton of incompetent doctors have no clue how to treat bloodloss 3. blood and iv drips are locked behind like 4 doors 4. if you break in bec...

Seperate issue, but latenight here in California frequently sees Basil and Sybil with a lack of admins. It's dumb because there can be like 40+ people on basil at these latenight times, and without admins it doesn't take long for chaos to ensue.

tl;dr:
let me trialmin already

I've been trying to code this for a while but here's my basic idea: background Looking at things like telesci, I realized there are two types of 'barriers' that limit players from having access to certain things. That sounds vague, let me explain. There's the most common barrier, gameplay barriers. ...

If the syndies have a surgery table then how could it possibly be powergaming? Also: people rarely have enough time to get it implanted before the ops show up. AND iirc, somewhere on the wiki it even mentions the disk implantation strat. If you ask me, real powergaming is doing the cheesewheel thing...

making shitty prs. trying to sneak a gun with my name on it into pubbystation. being a normal person who usually just does some meme instead of my job. being a retired ex-ooc shitposter stealing all the supplies and tools from engineering to sell at my 'shop' which i rarely complete before the round...

wait, i might be misunderstanding this, but QBopper afaik the reason CSGO is better on higher FPS even if you monitor doesn't support it is because the game's input and movement granularity are tied to FPS. The actual video onscreen isn't actually smoother it can just calc movement and take input mo...

Plasmamen, the race thought by most people to be a useless 'hardmode', are actually a race that if played to their advantages can be very stronk. The game is designed and balanced around Humans and sometimes Lizardmen, so plasmeme balance is often forgotten. Because of this, plasmemes have a number ...

ITT we discuss the optimal FPS setting and why the best setting is zero because the others reduce your reaction time.

I actually want to find a good setting that's not zero. pls suggest.

/vg/ has good rules. do /vg/ rules. some good wiki pages are these: http://ss13.moe/wiki/index.php/A_Crash_Course_In_Roleplaying outlines what the rules should be about enforcing http://ss13.moe/wiki/index.php/Rules similar to our rules, but a bit more specific. the admins enforce the rules in a dif...

this exact logic of removing freedom from the uneducated populace is the same logic that the broken Electoral College was established under. :^)

why cant we just make it easier to explore space ruins? Like have them not be random, and allow more at a time as well as a better way to access them than drifting in a hardsuit. There are so many ruins, and they're really fleshed out, but they go to waste.

Gender reassignment was removed because of me. Give me attention. Apparently it was an issue for a while whether it constituted ERP, but after I reassigned someone's gender as the HoS, I believe for assault, I was banned. After some shenanigans they unbanned me and just removed gender reassignment a...

Kevinz said I should help out on this. It seems like it would be a lot of fun to work on especially considering balance won't be considered sacred, so we could experiment with a lot of stuff. I think I would be best at spriting, but I have also done some mapping work for Pubbystation so I could do m...

mso, the june 2010 version of the directx sdk is what fixes those issues. not the latest version

i like the idea but brainfuck is just dumb. if at all it should be some sort of weird assembly language.

Yea apparently this is a paralax issue, but I just installed the BYOND beta on 2 computers and space looks dead on both. I would be really surprised if this was an uncommon issue. can you please tell me the operating system on those computers, whether a VM was used, and if they use integrated graph...

I don't actually know how new they are, but they're awful. I get it, someone wanted a new aesthetic, but space tiles are super duper fucking important because they indicate "holy shit if you go here you're gonna get your shit fucked up". Before it was really obvious where the space tiles ...

honestly the ban kinda came out of nowhere. The only time I had been warned about getting banned was with the praise the pope pr. Other than that a gitban was never threatened. the last comments you made on my prs just told me to listen you your advice. I had no real idea that i was close to being b...

like what kevinz said, a lot of my closed prs i closed myself.

Earning the right to balance the game requires you to show up and prove your competence first.

A democratic system is broken if you can be thrown out for having a dissenting opinion

tacolizard

also goofball is an experienced coder who adds large things a lot of people like, and while his PRs are hit or miss he's not a low bar.

@oranges I warned you if you kept making poorly constructed pr's that are designed to incite reactions rather than genuine attempts to improve the code that you would get shitcanned.

So I've been starting to code for /tg/, and have gotten a few things merged. My biggest commit was helping pubby with his mapping. A lot of PRs I've made have been criticized, and I usually make tweak PRs to see how the community would react to rebalances. A lot of my PRs were small buffs or debuffs...
