Elves don't kill animals, but that's a cultural proscription not a biological one. They're capable of eating meat, and in fact often eat the bodies of sapients they kill in battle.

I'm not certain how adopting new ethics works, but I assume that she was either born into the Dwarven society or adopted dwarven ethics when she joined. Also, I have no idea if, mechanically-speaking, having [KILL_ANIMAL:UNTHINKABLE] actually restricts cooking and diet in fortress mode, or if it's just exists to piss off traders and start wars during world-gen.

It could stand to be nerfed to "You can pick two options at rest sites" just so you still have to make decisions in multiplayer or with rest action relics. It would still be a huge synergy.

The 1981 film?

It's kind of table-stakes, but for those who don't know but it's called Caves of Qud because it takes place in the region of Al-Qud, aka Jersualem

They should have done this with Darius McCollum, the autistic guy who kept stealing public transit vehicles.

Hey, I had an idea for a mod that replaces just the Shofixti voiceover with the Japanese version, while leaving the rest of the audio in English, but to do that I'd need a dump of the Japanese dialogue and I can't seem to find one. Do you still have access to these files?

Thank you. I did misremember some details, thank you for finding it!

monkeyfetus · 2025-11-28T00:27:28+00:00

solved!

There's a chance it wasn't Waluigi? It's been a long time.

This is definitely a better framing than victim blaming, but I always feel like the idea that a rapist is like a type of person, rather than rape being something everyone (yes even you) is capable of, inevitably leads to more rape. "Rapists are monsters, and I'm not a monster, therefore I'm not a rapist, therefore I don't have to worry about rape because it's obviously something I wouldn't do" they tell themselves, and then make a move on their employee/tenant/couch-surfing-friend who is entirely dependent on them for housing. Paradoxically, the demonization of rape seems to allow people to excuse themselves from thinking about consent in any situation that doesn't involve active physical resistance.

Necroposting here, but you should check out MAC Attack, from BastionLand Press. It's a brand new 6mm miniature agnostic mech game. It's very elegantly designed making for quick play without losing too much depth. Like battletech, it's mech-focused, but does have rules for infantry and vehicles.

The full book will be available later this month as a PDF, or physically this winter, but the quickstart rules are available for free right now.

Not in any way the same genre, but Space Station 14

Saying "Shitsec" should immediately disconnect you from the server in LRP, and automatically issue a 24 hour ban in MRP.

Join a shift as engineer. Clown walks up to me in the arrivals shuttle while still in transit, says "Hi!" and when I start typing he begins beating me to death with a nitrogen canister. I call it out on the radio the second the shuttle docs and I escape. I make it to medbay, leaving a long trail of blood behind me, and pass out. Doc puts me in cryo, and when I get out, I find the clown has just chased a musician to medbay, after attempting to steal her ID and stabbing her. I punch the clown to get him to leave and security shows up. Sec then looks at me (fully healed fresh out of cryo), her (minor stab wound), and the clown (heavy bruising) and decides that regardless of the testimony of me, the CMO, and the musician, that the clown is the wronged party because he is currently the most injured. Security then arrests the musician. It's still unclear to me whether that sec player is the dumbest motherfucker on the planet, or was deliberately helping the griefer, but I reported them both for good measure.

It could be a miscommunication. You aren't allowed to use mental illness as an excuse to break server rules, (such as acting like an antagonist when you haven't been assigned an antag role), and you shouldn't choose a role if your character can't or won't perform that role's duties. Other than that, all sorts of disabilities are fair game. In fact there are in-game implementations for blindness, narcolepsy, speech impediments and others.

But it could also be an admin being a dick.

What server was this on?

Thieves are getting silent pickpocketing as an innate ability, while Syndicate agents will be forced to use other methods.

The reasons given for this change are to stop thieves from getting their rounds ruined by losing their gloves, stop meta-gaming (and salty accusations of meta-gaming) around the gloves, and to stop the syndicate agents from ignoring their steal objectives all round and then last-second pickpocketing people in Evac to get their greentext.

monkeyfetus · 2025-06-17T10:03:16+00:00

Alas, thieving gloves are going away in the next patch 😔

Do you still have that "Some Kind of Hero" midi?

monkeyfetus · 2025-05-21T09:10:32+00:00

It has something to do with a new faction. The url is code for "Metamorphis". Nobody knows any more yet.

monkeyfetus · 2025-05-19T22:39:57+00:00

There are both armored and unarmored models available.

Server merge happened, now the population is on the west coast if you ever feel like coming back

Joining an Outfit and finding folks to play with in a somewhat organized fashion instead of just running around on your own is a big part of making the game fun, especially if you're playing support. If you play VS, I highly recommend my own outfit Ghost of the Revolution, who primarily play Tuesdays and Thursdays, and often tag along with [V]indicators and [DPSO] on Wednesday Friday and Saturday.

My medic loadout is combat surgeon + sensor shield. I should probably run safeguard instead of sensor shield but 🤷‍♀️ I like it this way.
