Re: Obsure refrences ingame
Okay so Fox PR'd it to Paradise here: https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/4395
And he references Goon's version. Which, we don't have visibility on their PR history. (closed source man bad) - but I do see someone talking about it here in 2012: https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?ti ... s+Grace%22 - to get more info we'd have to ask someone with old goon dev repo access to find the PR.

Re: Obsure refrences ingame
I also did not like it at first. The gameplay style and core themes are very different, and there is alot of added stress of having to constantly burn a resource you only have 77 units of. It makes the initial learning process very difficult. But, once you start learning all the ways to generate obscurity and exactly how and why the reckoners start showing up it gets alot more fun. Also good to memorize the dungeons just like the original.conrad wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 4:59 pmI really disliked the exile DLC, so didn't play much of it.

Re: Obsure refrences ingame
So I actually found a few more references. This time in the Sake bottles!
There are three variants that randomly spawn, the rarest (Inubashiri's Home Brew), most common (Ryo's traditional sake), and the semi-common one (Fluffy Tail Sake.)
I don't know if Ryo's is a reference to anything? However...
Inubashiri's Home Brew is a Touhou reference, alluding to Inubashiri Momiji (the awoo wolf girl)
I don't know who got away with adding Touch Tail Sake. I'm not getting obliterated for telling people what it's a reference to. You can figure it out yourself if you're of that persuasion.

Re: Obsure refrences ingame
Cuban Pete's hat is in the game, same for the emagged arcade machine being called Outbomb Cuban Pete, but I feel like a lot of the newer folks probably don't know why.
I'm telling this from memory, so some of the other old folks correct me if I get any of it wrong.
Cuban Pete was a player back in the old days before we had a bomb cap. Blowing shit up wasn't a unique gimmick but he'd solved toxins for the most part and gotten very good at it. Players latched onto it, to the point where if he was in science, you started to sweat a little thinking he was gonna blow the station to kingdom come. This was back when bombs still created a fucking absurd amount of lag, so the server would regularly freeze for about half a minute while it processed everything and OOC would light up with people making Pete jokes. Eventually admins started getting into it, playing an awful MIDI of the song whenever he did his thing.
I don't know what ended up happening to him, but I refuse to let his legend be lost to time.

Anyway my reference for everyone today is the MMI description. The whole item is an Alpha Centauri reference, including the name, but the description is straight-up a quote from the Mind-Machine Interface tech.
Commissioner Pravin Lal, "Report on Human Rights" wrote:The Warrior's bland acronym, MMI, obscures the true horror of this monstrosity. Its inventors promise a new era of genius, but meanwhile unscrupulous power brokers use its forcible installation to violate the sanctity of unwilling human minds. They are creating their own private army of demons.

The Hierophant is not only a Hyper Light Drifter reference but when first added its sprite was literally just ripped from that game.
Bileworms might also be a Binding of Isaac enemy but tbh there’s only so many top-down enemy patterns that exist (maybe we should steal more of them from there).

Nah. Though, bile worms do approximate the attack of mushrooms and the movement of Lumps. I hate lumps with every fibre of my being and I now realize why there was so much anger surrounding bile worm behavior. Though I think the lack of an aimed shot really reduces bileworm's lethality.

Her name is Lifts-Her-Tail.

Extremely sappy, I know and risky if it didn't work out but since we're planning to get married I feel that wasn't a mistake.
What happened was, I was trying to rework the sake but someone else made a different PR with better sprites but I asked if he could keep the name.

Time for my turn for an obscure reference!
Did you know that the reason the Syndicate wear tactical turtlenecks is because of a reference?
It references this clip from the show Archer!

Re: Obsure refrences ingame
To add to that, our rendition of the Changeling in /tg/station is heavily influenced by Alex Mercer from the Prototype games. You can see this influence especially with our Changeling's signature weapon, the Armblade, an ability Alex Mercer also has in his respective game.
It is also where the armor suit that Changelings can spec into comes from!

Here's one more! The Antique Laser Gun often seen inside the captain's display case references System Shock 2's Apollo H4 Argon-Suspension Laser Pistol. This is much more noticeable if you observe the concept art of the weapon created by the developers of the game.

I thought it was! I played system shock 2 again recently and I noticed the similarities but I wasn't super sure.

I always thought it was a Firefly reference. System Shock makes a lot more sense though.Imaginos wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 7:28 pm Here's one more!

Also, the item description (if they haven't changed it) is that of a Dwarf Fortress artifact, which is cool.

Re: Obsure refrences ingame
Great story. I'm glad the 3 Sake bottles all have their own references, and congrats since you two are getting married!Dax Dupont wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 6:46 pm Let me let everyone in on the reference, there's only like 5 people who know. Ryo's a reference to my partner, that's his nickname online. He doesn't play ss13 so it's not a player reference but it was a little tribute to him.
My favorite person in the world in my favorite game. I really do love this game and the community, even if we all bump heads once in a while.
Extremely sappy, I know and risky if it didn't work out but since we're planning to get married I feel that wasn't a mistake.
What happened was, I was trying to rework the sake but someone else made a different PR with better sprites but I asked if he could keep the name.

Sam asked an assistant on the arrivals shuttle where to get a discord invite, and the assistant linked him one.
