The thread is already full of SS13 spergs but I assume you mean the mouthbreathing masses and not the well-adjusted people. To that I'd say fairly unlikely, r/SS13 and the mouthbreathing coomer-groomers of modern SS13 view Kiwifarms as the evil tranny killer site. If you go on the Evil Tranny Killer site you will get Hitler Particles and immediately detrans everyone in your vicinity, which is literally genocide!
The wallening? Like how SS14 has tall walls as opposed to 13's flat ones?
You say that as if anyone playing SS13 in some dedicated fashion could be a well-adjusted person.
The irony is I don't think this at a certain point this was necessarily wrong - other niche games from that era like Dwarf Fortress are bigger than ever. The problem is the idea that something can continue growing when curious PC gamers open the game and are instantly bombarded with creepy sex pests and groomers, who at this point are basically the only people left and the same people who pitched how 'inclusivity' would allow the game to grow.
Yeah, I meant these kind of 'people', the ones that would draw sexualized lizards in the Subreddit.
I'd describe it as them trying to make it look more like goon station.
SS13 will never be mainstream so it is of course delusional but the thing is the majority of game development is so unprofitable that unless you have an angel investor paying your rent I don't see a problem with people just punting and spending their time on a project that isn't really intended to make money. SS13 and SS14 have bigger playerbases than perhaps 80% of computer games out there. MSO probably made more "profit" from his Patreon than half of the game studios out there trying to make a game licensed from Unreal or Unity.
"The Wallening" is a vanity project by several of the head retards at TGstation. It aims to resprite everything into a a true 3/4ths perspective, completely destroy any identity the game used to have, turning it into brightly colored indie troonslop. The main """draw""" is respriting walls to be 32x48, causing them to "overhang" the turfs above them, which masks part of the turf above. This is dogshit for gameplay as you can imagine!
Kinda like it actually. Autism games don't have to look like shit (see also Minecraft retexture), even if it doesn't detract if they do
They are just trying to knock off baystation 12 walls that do the same shit without increasing the tile size.
Oranges has been asking since 2019 for someone to port the walls from TGMC (which are just Colonial Marine's which are just modified Bay12 walls).
The problem is it broke the game.
Without power leveling, I can say I have tried everything in my power to try to get the powers that be to oust the erotic servers from the community. I have failed. I want nothing more than for the groomcord ERP servers to disappear off the face of the earth, and not be supported in any way, shape, or form by the people who craft and manage the game. TGStation actively colludes with it's ERP forks to make sure their code is "downstream friendly". If I was in charge of TGStation I would issue an executive order to not give a flying fuck what an ERP server is having issues with and to actively avoid interacting with them. Sorry for getting a little MATI but I am filled with anguish that my beloved autistic atmospheric simulator has become overrun with groomers, groom victims, pedophiles, zoophiles, and all sorts of other disgusting -philes.
Sadly,
You gotta back up the claim that lummox is some kind of disgusting degenerate. From what I've observed he's just your average slightly autistic grown man with an interest in fantasy. He has a real job, is an author on the side, and intentionally avoids getting involved in "drama".
Oops, sorry, I confused it with Exadv1. Of course, I didn't mean Lummox. I'll edit my original post to avoid confusing more people.
Lummox Works with randy sandy knowing it's a coder that runs a CP RP server, you can read him thanking Randy in his Changelogs. I don't think anyone here has any pictures of lummox being a nonce or weirdo, but he has actively supported lots of... strange.. servers on his byond program, and even being warned or told about it, doesn't seem to really care. I've heard people say he's just liberal with his rules, or just plain doesn't care. but it doesn't change the fact that Byond Accounts are 13+, yet the game is mostly 18+ content ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lummox has absolutely no idea who Randy Sandy is beyond being a space station 13 programmer who makes bug reports on the byond forums. He has a list of byond hub rules he enforces as written, and that's it. I think you're reading far too much into it.
