/snow/ - flakes & mistakes

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 14

SS14 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.

To cut to the chase: the lactation amount of this community is huge, nearly every single host and/or playerbase has:
- A significant furry takeover since the introduction of species options into the game, furries now have so much dominance over the normal side of the community that being rude to a lizard or catbeast in game is equivalent to actual "racism" - they call this "specieism".
- Hosts with questionable F-Lists and kinks, and the infiltration of ERP into normal SS13
- Every man who touches this game becomes trans (or an chaser), a nazi, or a groomer. No exceptions.
- A scandal that has exposed pedophiles or groomers in staff
- Women or any minor is instantly groomed/harrassed upon entry sooner or later.
- Nearly all the few women playing this are FTMs or non-binary for some reason, probably due to the previous point.
- Autistic crying over open source code licenses and actual lawsuits over 2D pixels
- An actual trans suicide cult association


>Noteable cows:

Exadv1/Entrian: Original creator of SS13, despite being a furry he did not influence the community in the beginning as his code was taken by channers. However, he was exposed to not just be a furry, but a diaperfur as well. He is in his 40s.

Smugleaf: SS14/Wizden admin who is into zoophilia. Denied it of course, but internet archive got him good.

Pieter-Jan Briers/PJB: SS14/Wizden host, AGP MTF who cries a lot and has defended code theft, and denied zoophilia and pedophilia from his staff.

Javier Guardia Fernandez: Another SS14 staff member, a troon intozoophilia, pedophilia and necrophilia. An AGP - but not on the linkedin of course.

Jesse Rougeau: SS14 staff member.

Plykiya: Asian AGP SS14 maintainer, constantly talks of wanting to rape his underaged younger sister. Openly into lolis. Defended by the SS14 administration of course.

MrStonedOne: Host of /tg/station - Writer for AVoiceForMen, founder of /r/ASMR, and Men's rights activist, shut down /tg/station for several weeks because an actual woman told him he was an incel and no one disagreed. Into rape fantasies and ageplay. After being cancelled, promptly trooned out.

Apophis775: Host of the SS13 offshoot Colonial Marines. Ended up being exposed as a shotacon enthuasiast. Did I mention he is a school teacher?

RandySandy: Lifeweb creator and host. A Russian meth head who uses all the Patreon money for predictable reasons. Lifeweb is a medieval grimdark spin-off to regular SS13, so of course he had to add rape mechanics to it. And of course those rape mechanics don't exclude children. Why? Realism.

KF also has a thread on this community, but of course but more should know about it. There's many more I haven't mentioned here, but was hoping I would find nonnas autistic enough to know about this obscure and special community that is so close to my heart.(unintegrated newfag)
