We talk about removal PRs from before we played

[Shadowflame909]

Tells us about history, and flames up the fans of the olden days.

Did you know traitors used to be able to buy TB before january 2016?

Im glad I didn't play then. Nukie TB is already annoying so imagine seeing it nearly every round.

[Bawhoppennn]

I'd have to spend awhile diving to find the imported commit for it, but sometimes in ~2011 before I played, xenobio got removed on tg.
... I wish it had stayed removed tbh...

I won't lie, I totally forgot JMad was ever involved in the community

[Shadowflame909]

I wonder where they went..

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/14881

Wizards used to be able to spend half their spells for ragin mages. Kor was such a champ at arguing for !Fun! content.... Will anyone carry their spirit foward? Probably not.

Edit: This one is stupid

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/17622

A random event used to summon nar'sie and end the round. Why???

apparently wizards used to be able to buy SM swords and summon singulos(?) Wild honestly

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/17629

I forgot that there was a time RND was able to just print weapons including full on gatling lasers.

Bring back Summon Magic

[Shadowflame909]

Wizard was literally admin tier at a time.. And RND getting machine guns?? Makes sense antags are so OP

[gulakki]

there used to be a time when every shift had bags of holding and maybe every third shift had those bags turn into singulos next to the bridge, medbay or brig

Used to be able to have a person holding two bags of holding, put them in a bluespace bodybag, put that bluespace bodybag in your backpack, and now you just have a pocket BoH bomb that can go off even if you are stunned. I killed nar'sie with this strategy once. Another time there was a wizard who killed, sharded, and polymorphed people for legions of polymorphed minions. I had a guy agree to carry me in their pocket so that when they were eventually killed in the halls by a hunter and dragged to the wizard, I could just delete them the moment they walked up to us.

I would also like to verify that this time ruled, both for singularity reasons and "bags of holding are just nice to have" reasons. It kind of sucks that they're gated behind toxins AND don't make a true singularity now.

Yeah, it is kinda nice that random people can't just no effort wipe out a department but I miss some of the valiant sacrifices. I've stopped like 3 different round ending events with a BoH bomb and I really miss being able to do it. My favorite was the time a blob hit delta, started its victory lap by pathing all the way to the shuttle and started attacking people on it, and then all of the sudden it is a ghost staring at the shuttle. I had managed to get close enough to the blob core to BoH bomb it and save the station.

I haven't even seen a single one since the toxins content gate.

I've seen about 7, of which 3 I made myself when I decided to relearn toxins. I don't even know WHY Bagularities were nerfed into nothingness with how hard it is to get two of the damn things now to suicide with them.

The problem is toxins is not enjoyable. It just requires knowing the meta solution and anyone with no experience with it is just locked out. I had a round where we had been fighting and slowly losing to a blob in a war of attrition, I bought the necessary anomaly cores and just needed to activate them. Go to science to ask and toxins is untouched, the RD doesn't know how to do it, and no one I asked over comms responded and said they could do it. Blob ended up winning and I didn't get a chance to sacrifice myself to take it out.

[Shadowflame909]

It's incentivized too. Because as soon as there's an easy enough guide a monkey can do it, there goes a github pr changing the recipe. (Which makes sense because that means everyone knows how to make a maxcap bomb.)

It's quite literally something meant to be stared at from afar and not obtained which sucks.

[Timonk]

Funnily enough, circuits got removed out of the game the day i started playing, which was Halloween 2018

the nerf happened before the content gatings

Can't believe you started after cobby chems and YOUR and admin and I'm not. Feels like only yesterday I was cooking up tricord, chemist was the first job I remember playing outside of assistant.

[Timonk]

I miss many of these thing nianjilical posted, namely satchels persisting between rounds, man did i have fun with that
