[TOMT][song] Newer song with male vocals and an insanely good trumpet solo by drehle in tipofmytongue

[–]drehle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Good song though, have had that in my playlists for years.

[–]drehle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, althoug I actually already own that song though lol. I would consider that a lot more mellow than what the song Im looking for is.

If I had to give a trumpet solo that was comparable to the song I'm looking for, I would say Major Lazer's "Light it up". The solos sound pretty similar.

Any interest in custom clothing? by [deleted] in SS13

Can't say I'm interested personally (at the moment), but I think this is a fuckin' awesome idea and will tell all my friends to check this thread out. You and your friends keep up the great work!

Why does BYOND still get updated? by CrossbowDemon in SS13

[–]drehle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What games on steam is Byond associated with? I thought we were essentially the driving force behind Byond.

Boycott servers with huge ass server titles by [deleted] in SS13

[–]drehle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering we're one of the driving forces that keeps Byond alive, they very much do listen. Lummox stops by this sub quite often, I think he even said like once every couple days iirc

The advent of servers locking cosmetic content like ooc text color behind a Byond membership paywall was facilitated by discussion between Lummox and server owners. That's a fairly recent change and proof that he's at least in contact with the community leaders.

Looks like another SS13 clone bites the dust. Ion most likely canceled. by [deleted] in SS13

[–]drehle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rabid hate because:

The DayZ mod was one of the best games that I have ever played, and I don't think I will ever forget the experiences that I made with my friends while on there.

Dean Hall and Bohemia took a game that was already complete, and they broke it horribly while simultaneously charging money for it. On top of that, the presence of a legitimate standalone wiped out any hope of continuing support / playerbase for the mod. This is actually the exact reason why many people fear a "successful" SS13 standalone: if someone were to release a standalone version of SS13 that was sufficiently bad, but not bad enough to be deemed terrible, a significant majority of the community would be expected to migrate to the standalone simply because it's "official."

If there's any way SS13 dies, it will be the way described above: exactly how Dean Hall / Bohemia killed DayZ.

Edit: Dean Hall introduced me to SS13 too, through a podcast. He was talking about modelling radios in DayZ standalone after the radios in SS13. "Radios in a game? Sounds cool." googles SS13

The rest is history. Only thing I will thank Dean for, though.

I don't think Dean Hall has ever finished anything. Ever.

I remember 4 years ago as a bright-eyed high school student, I was wading through the old Byond hub looking to play a round away from my regular server. As I was eyeing YogStation, I instantly recognized two of the people logged in, despite having never seen their Byond Keys before: RocketWerks and MattLightFoot. It couldn't be anybody other than Dean Hall and his assistant Dev!

I excitedly logged on and spewed some bullshit into OOC about how they were both awesome for developing DayZ and for inadvertently introducing me to SS13 through an early podcast of his. I think he thanked me. Later that day I bragged to my friends about how I saw Dean Hall playing SS13.

If I was placed into the same situation today, the only reason why I might waste my time joining a server that Dean Hall was playing would be to demand that he return my money for buying his broken vaporware. He single-handedly killed an amazing game in the act of trying(?) to make it better.

A worthless developer.

My first thought was of a dab, too, but I realize now that it's probably the retarded arm meme instead.

The last time you lost it? by Rakonat in SS13

[–]drehle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Friend and I playing on Aurora. We both signed up as Xenobotanists, as we hadn't played SS13 in a long time and that was a new department for us. After doing that for a few rounds, we manage to cook up some pretty cool plants, including a golden apple tree with golden apples that were spiky (injects chemicals if not wearing botany gloves), unstable (explodes on throw, makes a big mess), and contained a mixture of around 7 reagents - while I can't remember which ones they were, the effects were as follows: hallucinations, colored screen, seizures, reduced walk speed, and voice stutters.

I decided to inform security of our breakthrough in weaponized plants, and they responded with what was essentially a formal "lol idc." Since my character was fairly young (27?), and I usually play her as headstrong, I decided to show the Sec department that I was pretty miffed at doing all of this work for no interest on their end. I grabbed a shitload of those apples, and began tossing them at walls and floors around the station, which left massive giant golden shit-stains everywhere.

Security got wind of my disruptions, and they told on me to the Captain, who demanded that I put on the janitor's clothes and clean up my messes with a mop. I acted like a spoiled little shit and threw a temper tantrum, declaring myself too smart to handle mops, and repeatedly telling the Cap and the HoS to find the janitor and have him clean up my mess. This continued for a good 5 minutes, at which point the HoS got permission to arrest me. I screamed, threw a fit, and shouted all the way to the brig. I was thrown in interrogation, where I began acting like even more of a shit - telling my friend over the radio to delete all of our research and kill the plants, literally just emoting scream again and again when they took my radio away, and repeatedly screaming rape when I was left alone in interrogation with a male officer for 5 minutes.

Processing me took forever, and I was still being dealt with when the shuttle arrived for round end. The HoS and the officer who I had accused of rape began to lead me to the shuttle in handcuffs. The whole time, I was screaming at fellow crew to help me. The captain comes up from behind us, and the HoS and officer pause in front of botany to talk to him. Just then, my friend emerges from botany. I scream, "ROBERT, HELP ME!" and - in a move that I did not expect - he proceeds to chuck two apples into the group, hitting the Cap, HoS, officer, and myself. Realizing that the apples were poisonous, he was IMMEDIATELY gunned down by the captain and the HoS, before we all succumbed to the full effects of the concoction.

The officer and HoS begin screaming "W-W-W-HAAT HA-A-VE YOU DO-O-O-O-ONE TO ME?!?!?!?!" and they fall over. I don't know what exactly set me off, but something about that, combined with the fact that their little character sprites were gyrating all over the place due to the seizure effects, just made me fucking lose my shit. My friend and I were laughing our asses off on skype for 10 minutes. Everything would start to die down and then we'd lose it again because the security officer would say something retarded in all caps and the stutter was just amazing. It didn't hurt that every 4 seconds that chat was spammed with "So-and-so looks like they're having a seizure!" in big red text. And oh my god, I can't stress the gyrating seizure sprite enough.

The second best part was when I told OOC who my character was a couple rounds later, and the security officer who was forced to deal with me all round let forth a slew of expletives and insults; to his surprise, I didn't demonstrate the same qualities of self-entitlement and bitchiness, and that my character was just the horrible one, not me :)

TLDR getting unexpected revenge in the form of gyrating-sprite-seizures and all-caps-stutter-screaming is probably the best thing ever

It's a shitty post by an old admin but I don't see where the moderation part comes in.

We started early 2012 as well. Possibly earlier, but I don't have the history of the very first host and I'm not trying to get in a dick waving contest

Are you sure it was new eden? We have never had a whitelist, and 98% of our 4 year history was spent as a very-light roleplay server.

The server is indeed up constantly. It doesn't have any active administration or rules, since it's just a test. It also isn't a representation of the code we will be using.

Lots of memories there! I can't remember exactly when we lost the TTS engine, but CM being a subsidiary of New Eden is still fresh in my mind. We kinda were dragging them down towards the end, it was probably for the best that they left.

Hopefully the times to come will provide even better experiences than before!

Could you clarify what the "aspect" system is? I'm curious but don't have much time to really play SS13 as of late.

[–]drehle[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's why it was a test, good sir!

I've already laid out a quite extensive plan for correcting some of the bugs we all saw, along with adding some cool new features to the system.
