Being Unrobust: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the cataplexy
Welcome. Feel free to admit here that you are not robust and have all the robust players make fun of you.
I'll start. Hi, I'm Duke Pending, and I am not robust.

Robustness is not binary. You may be more robust than some people and less robust than others, where do you draw the line between "robust" and "not robust"?
I have a confirmed grand total of 1 merged PR. That basically means I'm a c*der now.

Re: Being Unrobust: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the cataplexy
My definition of robust is that it's never Just about combat; it's the sum of knowledge. The little intricate tricks of a job, like deleting trace gases as atmos, or memorizing exact formulas for chem, or a single batong into two disablers meaning full stamcrit! It's not about being able to use anything and win any fight, though that is HIGHLY robust, it's the jack-of-all-trades, or perhaps just master of some mentality that makes the robust spessman. A truly robust player has touched all fields, if only lightly, and a halfway robust player has mastery over several niche tactics or bits and pieces of knowledge to fumble their way between when worlds collide (Chem mixing and Botany to make fertilizers, for example.) and be able to handle the situations that come from such things.
I am not nearly the most robust combat player, but I'm greedily soaking up knowledge every day I play. And that? That's my essay of COPE on why I'm robust even if someone still hands my ass to me on a silver platter.

Re: Being Unrobust: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the cataplexy
Okay. A lot of fair points here, all well taken. Robust is more than the 1v1 with a toolbox.
So, let's make it more specific: You are in 1v1 with toolboxes.
Personally, I'm most likely going down. I might get in a few good hits, but the last hit is probably going to the other guy.

I think the greatest sign of robustness is having fun in this game. If you're using your free time in spehss and it's being a good time, you're a robust gamer.
I play the old man Ricky Paxton, and sometimes the borg Z.E.E.P.

I can't win in single combat with a baton against someone in a wheelchair but I can force a shuttle call in fifteen minutes if I so choose every time I roll antag.
Not sure if that makes me robust or not.

Re: Being Unrobust: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the cataplexy
I am also never robust. Playing medic in TF2 for way too many hours has given me a good “game sense” to get a feeling when something is off or when something bad is about to happen. It also taught me an important lesson that sticking together is a pretty solid idea. I can’t fight all that well to save my life but I’m pretty good at figuring out how to get out of a shitty situation. One time I was the only survivor on a 40 person late night tram shift.

Most people either spec in mechanical robustness or gamesense robustness and both are valid, but getting both down and calling on whichever one the situation needs is when you become noticeably “good” at ss13 for lack of a better term

Re: Being Unrobust: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the cataplexy
I love that sixth sense shit. Oftentimes, I feel what’s about to happen before it happens- I’ve just had too little IC reasoning to make a preemptive move and get owned. But that feeling- that sixth sense? It makes even dying and eating shit feel cathartic.
My most proud moment recently was cutting off some bullshit “I’m sorry” monologue to steal their axe and get them to like, 80-90 brute before the Revolver came out and game ended me. Another time recently where I had the sense but failed was The Medbay Gorilla cube incident, in which I positioned myself to tableshove onto glass a Chaplain Spy who got me caught up inspecting the cubes too curiously before they hit them with the fire extinguisher.
Never been delimbed so fast, I’m concerned about what they’re feeding those damn gorillas.

Re: Being Unrobust: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the cataplexy
I mean, I don't mind losing. I don't mind things going crazy (if you go onto Terry, Sybil, or Basil Bagil hoping to pull off some big project... well, good for you and good luck to you; but, don't be shocked when it all goes boom). I don't mind when I get outdone by someone else. It's a game. If they played it better then they win, and I'm cool with that.
I do get frustrated when it feels like I am actually unable to do anything about it. I don't mean simply being outplayed here, I mean legitimately f***ed from the get go. I have no shot.
Just have to live with it, of course; it's still only a game. I admit, though, I don't leave those situations thinking "Damn, I blew it, but that was fun." That's just pure, "Oh, what the f***...?"

but i've found a few ways to use my jani gear to get an advantage
although dying like a chump isn't all that bad because it fits the character more
i do try to get as many banjo hits in before i go down because i like the noise that it makes

i'll fight harder if i care about the fight. the best way to do this is to give it context. if i'm fighting to defend someone that's getting owned or whatever then i'm gonna lock in a lot more. there should be a reason i want to win beyond protecting my ego around my ability to give myself carpal tunnel. this is when combat is at its peak for me, and most commonly narratives will release the pressure of a build-up with some sort of fight. it's the hero's journey made manifest.
planned 1v1s i honestly find quite boring. ppl are also super sensitive and can't take the L. they demand like 30 matches if they lose.

Being robust != being good at combat.
The idea that ss13 had a "robust" combat system was a joke about how shit it was and actually was a meta commentary about how to play the game.
Being robust means you are willing to die to make a better story.
Those who seek combat profiency are not robust, they are in fact unrobust.

their ripoff uno is fucked up though, there are "swap hands" cards and if you have the exact same card as someone just played you can just play it if you are fast enough and skip the turns of everyone between you and that player (best most evil rule)

I don't mind them.

still one of my favorite events and it's a damn shame there wasn't a full recording of it showing the basketball court the whole timeBlacklist897 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 10:46 pmonly real way to fight is a 3v3 basketball game vs nuke opsdendydoom wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 1:35 am i'll fight harder if i care about the fight. the best way to do this is to give it context. if i'm fighting to defend someone that's getting owned or whatever then i'm gonna lock in a lot more. there should be a reason i want to win beyond protecting my ego around my ability to give myself carpal tunnel. this is when combat is at its peak for me, and most commonly narratives will release the pressure of a build-up with some sort of fight. it's the hero's journey made manifest.
planned 1v1s i honestly find quite boring. ppl are also super sensitive and can't take the L. they demand like 30 matches if they lose.

or a basketball game to save the ol' holodeck from being demolished to make way for a walgreen's. complete with a talking dog on the team. who inevitably gets shot at some point. that was a good round.Blacklist897 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 10:46 pmonly real way to fight is a 3v3 basketball game vs nuke opsdendydoom wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 1:35 am i'll fight harder if i care about the fight. the best way to do this is to give it context. if i'm fighting to defend someone that's getting owned or whatever then i'm gonna lock in a lot more. there should be a reason i want to win beyond protecting my ego around my ability to give myself carpal tunnel. this is when combat is at its peak for me, and most commonly narratives will release the pressure of a build-up with some sort of fight. it's the hero's journey made manifest.

basically the sentiment here is that basketball should replace all combat.

They actually CHANGED that! Thermomachines now release gas into atmos. It might be the worst change ever made.DrAmazing343 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 11:05 pm Something about deconstructing thermomachines, IIRC— ask Elysius Uruma, if you can track them down. I believe they're in normal tgstation server as well as the mannycord.

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

I was in a round recently where I was very sure I was about to get killed by someone in maintenance, but I was more afraid of leaving maintenance because there was a clown car outside the door.

Re: Being Unrobust: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the cataplexy
discords dumbass uno knockoff in the activities tab has a swap hands card but it doesn't require a color match or anything, its colorless, so my favorite trick is to get a reverse order card and wait for either of the people to the left or right of my slot to get really low while i'm collecting 40 cards and hand swap them, wherein i go about collecting the second hand swap card in the deck to do it all over again.Jacquerel wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 7:15 pm after playing Uno online in a way that used the points i actually kind of like playing for points
their ripoff uno is fucked up though, there are "swap hands" cards and if you have the exact same card as someone just played you can just play it if you are fast enough and skip the turns of everyone between you and that player (best most evil rule)
i've had a match go for 30 minutes because of it and it was just one game.
