Just a brief rundown before we get into the milk:
>What the hell is Space Station 13 (SS13)?SS13 is the world's largest, jankiest, open-source multiplayer RPG on the BYOND engine that's still active today - kept alive by true autists. The usual setting is on a space station, the gameplay varies but it's essentially Among Us but more autistic with roleplay elements. It started in 2003 by Exadv1. Since then it has many forks such as Goonstation (from Something Awful), /tg/station (4chan’s Traditional Games board), and others like Paradise and Baystation run their own codebases with varying roleplay levels.
It used to be a fun game, but sadly degeneracy won due to the mass trooning of the community.
>Space Station 14SS14 is the modern, open-source remake made with C#, built to escape BYOND’s laggy clutches but dragging the same community baggage. Essentially, SS13 with less jank but just as much salt.
>Why It’s a Lolcow Farm?The SS13/14 community is a petri dish of lolcows: Formerly a chanboard run community, most of the community has mass-trooned over the pandemic - many even before that. Now it is more plagued by power-hungry admins, AGPs, ERP-obsessed porn addicted furries, and players who use the game now as a way of expressing their gender identity. Servers like Goonstation and /tg/ that used to have a more carefree nature have their own feuds like a bootleg Game of Thrones episode.
