Wild T posted:This reminds me of a hilariously ineffective and fun way I used to screw with a friend in Tiberian Sun. Neither of us tended to be very good, so matches would devolve into both of us turtling and building massive armies for a late-game slugfest. We'd harass each other with super weapon fire, knock out SAMs and attempt to blow up production with suicide squads of aircraft. Then I discovered the Cronenberg Crash. There's an even cheaper version of this: send out your infantry to annoy your enemy by attaking their tiberuim (resource) collectors, then run them into the field of corrosive crystals(?) to die and blobbify with the same mechanism.

Enallyniv posted:"human being" If we're talking about people attempting to talk their way out of looking bad, allow me to introduce Gullen15. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qQCa0KqJ6hI He's incredibly bad. It's pretty simple to find videos on YouTube of his failures, but here's a taste. Also there are a few videos of him asking his stream chat if any of them are girls because he needs help learning how to talk to them and he's willing to pay.

Rutkowski posted:To provide aid to this non-existant study; having my steam username "Putin is a coward" caused a lot of Russians to rage out in chryllic alphabet and bad english before the games even started. Apparently I also got a lot of reports but the name didn't break steam rules because, well, it shouldn't be offensive except for nationalist russians and really who gives a poo poo about them? ~*~ please don't use gay as a pejorative ~*~ Normalizing casual or ironic homophobia helps normalize violent homophobia. I couldn't care less about teenagers saying fag on the internet, but by god will politely asking them to stop bring about a fit of rage. They will get indignant and spend a great deal of energy trying to harass me while I just continue hitting an effortless textbind every time they use a homophobic slur. It's depressing how often players behave like this, but if there's a silver lining it's that usually someone steps in or they get banned by an admin. But I only do it because it makes them so angry.

bucketmouse posted:Have there been any good Starbound griefs yet or is that too low-hanging fruit with it being as buggy and alpha as it is? Well, there's plenty of ways to grief it right now, I wouldn't call any of them creative or good though because it's too easy to do and no real consequences of it. I mean, you can always do the cheap minecraft grief of destroying something they've built, or abuse the glitch that lets explosions damage players to kill them, but I don't think the tools are really there yet for any actual creative griefing. Plus, being an Alpha, very few people have bothered to really build anything worth a gently caress, certainly not on an open server where someone would be able to destroy it. The best perhaps would be rendering a server's home planet unusable - each server seems to have one single planet that everyone appears at the first time they go to that server. So you could I suppose dig a massive pit under the spawn, wide enough that they can't reach safety to either side, and deep enough that falling kills... but unless it's brand new character that hasn't done anything yet, they'd probably have fuel to warp back to their ship and take off to another planet. Even if it IS a new character without any fuel they can always take it to single-player, get the fuel, and come back.

There's a mechanic that moves your warp in point down if it's unsafe (though when and how it works seems fairly random). You can still install a forest of fan blades at spawn though.

Well, as Indecisive said there isn't too much that's creative. Also, it's next to impossible to get away with poo poo because of how vast the whole game realm is. The only way you're ever going to find anyone is if you get coordinates or some players invite you to their party. In the latter, more common case, if poo poo happens they automatically know it's you.

Is it just me, or do most of the people streaming seem to be 30s white men with the same bigoted worldview, monotone voice and anger issues. I also don't understand the strange cult of followers these streamers gather. Their instant acceptance that the people supporting their brother with luekemia are simply fagots who are bad at the game is mind numbing.

I'm sure this'll be the subject of someone's thesis if it isn't already. I think the answer lies in looking at the kinds of people who would have the time and energy to do this (bear in mind that people who do this "successfully" are doing it for hours a day and probably at unusual hours that wouldn't fit a 9-to-5 job very well), which I think requires someone who has significantly failed in being accepted by "normal" society but also has the resources to prop them up, like financial support from parents or some type of welfare/disability benefits. If you have a job or a girlfriend/wife you're not going to have the time and energy required to sit at your computer/console and play video games while being entertaining often enough to become an online personality. If you don't have a job or girlfriend/wife or friends you hang out with in the real world, you have the time and energy to stream often, but are also bitter about the world and have limited social skills due to being out of practice.

I remember watching Broteam on twitch, when someone asked him "whether he has a job" and he started laughing ruefully. "This is it. This is it. Can you believe that? Can you believe how hosed the world is today, that doing this can be someone's source of income? gently caress." What I'm saying is I think some of them have the right attitude.
