    Space Station 13 is a game that you're not going to understand unless you play. It's not a game you can learn by watching or reading, and it is a game you certainly won't master in your first day, week or month. Space station 13 is one of the most insane experiences of my life, a game that has occupied my time for over a decade now. Space station 13 is the roguelike of roguelikes for me, the most wonderful piece of human created madness, and certainly on equal footing with dwarf fortress in terms of sheer complexity.
    However, byond is old as an engine, is limited in its own ways, and largely prevented a number of people from joining in. And thus, there was Space Station 14 - which is free and on steam! This open source monster replicates the madness and is the early version of what promises to be many decades of stupid just like its sire.
    Join me in Space Station 14 friends. Be farty spacemen.
    Please join in as I embark again, for just another day on space station 13.

    I remember this, I was the one who foisted the new laws on you. Next time I'll have to make sure to actually edit the laws, didn't know they existed yet.

    Note: video is a few months old, now borgs can speak not only in common radio, but a special binary radio that only synthetic life forms can speak and hear (though there is a syndi item allowing them to understand and have access to binary radio).

      @@jacobrutzke691 Considered you can now emag borgs to make them into your allies since a few months, actually totally doable.
      Only problem being that borgs have the health of a paper tissue, that the emagging only applies to the body, not the brain (so if the same brain is put in a different non-emagged machine, then they are no longer bound to follow you), and that as of now borgs are pretty limited in what they can do.

    ss14 just needs more content I think. It feels way better to play and control than 13 but has far less content since its newer

      Think of it this way. Its like youre playing during the early days of SS13 where most of the mechanics arent solidified yet. There is also a chance that new bugs would appear that is only specific on this version.

    • @UndyingZombie
      @UndyingZombie 9 місяців тому +5

      Its definitely on its way. It does have a few things that SS13 does not but admittedly there is a lot that SS13 has that SS14 does not.. But it will eventually get there. Its a lot easier to deal with compared to Beyond so that alone is helping a ton. Changes and additions have been coming faster and will continue to gain speed if more people switch over/join. Technically speaking its advancing at a much,much faster rate than SS13 did.
      The only problem is the fact that While SS 13 has existed since 2003, Feburary while SS 14 has only been out for 3 years now. ( 2020, December ) If you ever get a chance to look at the overall progress. SS14 is already a long ways ahead of what SS13 was at said time. This is of course largely due to how crap Beyond is to work on.. So I see SS14, unless it suddenly becomes abandoned.. Will eventually surpass SS13 in terms of content in the game/on servers.

    Bar Performance Review, 08DEC2543
    The ambience and customer service at the bar on the station was nothing short of premier, including that of the musical talent. There was a robotic worker at this location who was dressed quite dapper in what I would consider an informational capacity, whose presence lent the dining experience an air of utter class - from someone hewn from brass, no less.
    However, the critical review period was cut short by what one can only describe as Lou Ferrigno in a rat costume on an athletic bender.
    Would I return to sample the ratburger? Absolutely. 5/5
    Errata - the establishment's management should be informed of a slight health violation by the counter, namely blood spatter. Upon returning when I realized I had left my PDA en route to the shuttle home, I noticed it had been cleaned with what appears to be Fabuloso. This is within current public health and safety standards provided by Nanotrasen.
