/tg/Station 13

General question to coders, maintainers, mappers, whoever else is lurking here.

So far, I've been here long enough to experience a shift from the game design.

It's become less of a wacky shift with magic, revival, and breaking the limits of a mentally stable person.

I mean look at this:
-Fat nerds cant eat monkeys anymore.
-Nuka Cola no longer gives you hyperspeed
-Cloning gone
-Xenobio's OP gold slime stuff is gutted and replaced
-Gangs is gone
-Drones are gone.
-You gotta pay for stuff now

Now, I'm not saying all of this is mutually exclusive. As all of these are definitively made by different people with different visions.

What I am asking though, is the future memo to add an underlying shady vibe to nanotransen?

It's certainly felt more like "Bare-Minimum scraps given to a bunch of clones" lately. Instead of "Pinnacle of Technology dream station that goes wrong"

I guess I'm also saying is I miss OP stuff.

Thoughts on this? Do I have a point? Am I just a zoomer who needs to go to hippie for my "lolz fun"?

Edit: Also remember when robotics had Iron-Man style flight suits? That was cool.

I miss the retro-future stuff

soon it will be like CDDA and we'll have to micromanage our skin moisture or get chapped lips and get a mood debuff that makes you unable to walk without weeping

This brings a tear to my eye as well.

Also, I’m sad about what jumpskirts did to the game’s aesthetic. Went from Star Trek to anime really quickly.

>Went
laughs in catgirl

i agree that there's been a trend away from the goon end of the spectrum towards the bay one. neither extreme is good. but there's also the constant ebb and flow of new content followed by nerfs

>Fat nerds cant eat monkeys anymore.
this was part of a dumb vore panic and shouldn't have happened

>Nuka Cola no longer gives you hyperspeed
this was part of wesoda's thing to nerf things that make you go fast. pink stabilised is now not fun. makes sense for balance

>Cloning gone
the silent cartographers' plot to turn us into bay. when razharas made machines buildable he stealthnerfed cloning. paprika introduced the defib because it was agonising. we'll end up with stopgap measures to compensate for this too

>Xenobio's OP gold slime stuff is gutted and replaced
all i've seen is that cobby removed the resurrection bolt from magicarp. makes sense in the context of the medical changes

>Gangs is gone
wasn't around for that, they also gimped clock cult and then cut it
why

>Drones are gone
some people abused them so they removed them from the main station. dumb

>You gotta pay for stuff now
currency with leverage has always appealed to me. it means you can pay people to do things and buy cool shit irrespective of access. but everyone that isn't an assistant still gets way too much to lock the valuables behind it (at a reasonable price)

>Xenobio's OP gold slime stuff is gutted and replaced

We used to have weeping angels, Changeling babies, and magicarps with bolt of death

Oh, I see. I was gone for awhile

you guys are the literal definition of ss13 boomers

what is the compulsion to redo everything from the ground up, while simultaneously nerfing everything into the ground

So like, when the first season of 2020 pro league starts?

They got rid of them after the first couple of episodes because they looked stupid. And this is coming from someone who didn’t mind clean-shaven Riker.

What’s your ideal aesthetic for SS13?

Isnt it weird how oranges can make personal attacks on people in the coding feedback forum but anyone else would get put on post approval for calling people a broke brain retardanaut?

Calling people "dent skulls" is RP and should be fine

You're free to disagree with me, but at least be constructive.

At risk of missing obvious sarcasm, could you elaborate?

As the villain of the incredibles said. If everyone is super. No one is.

We gotta give the janitor a cleaning grenade launcher now now now now

it's hard to be constructive when your opinion is literally "this piece of clothing makes the game's aesthetic go from star trek to literal anime"

how the fuck can anyone take this take seriously

It's bizarre that you can't comprehend why somebody might disagree with you on whether skirted sailor outfits should be standard uniforms in SS13.

do not argue about jumpskirts - oscar wilde

Ahh yes, the horrible gutting of the magical future stuff known as "gangsters" and "not needing money"
Lavaland is the most bullshit magical future shit ever and look at that, we keep getting it.

they wore skirts in star trek

Super Aggro Crag wrote:they wore skirts in star trek

1. They were dresses/minidresses, not skirts
2. They got rid of them because they looked stupid, and the actresses were clearly uncomfortable wearing them.
