Does that preclude any future LPs of Rimworld?

Unless a mod bans it, no. Some people just don't care about controversies.

I can't speak to the LP, I didn't see it, but if I recall the issues around Rimworld had a basis in the sexual orientation of the virtual colonists. By default something like 10% of the male population was bisexual or gay while the female population was something like 10% gay and 50+% bisexual. (I can't be sure, it was some time ago but the proportions were just crazy) Plus there was a mood debuff around 'rejecting sexual advances' and corresponding 'being rejected', exacerbated by the colonists hitting on anyone they were attracted to with no consideration of the recipient's leanings. These conditions caused many otherwise stable colonies to result in absurd scenarios where there was a considerable population of gay/bisexual women pairs whom hated and were hated by a large population of single, angry, depressed, rejected men.

The real controversy was when the developer, rather than admit "Yea it's in development these numbers aren't final" claimed that this was a realistic portrayal of gender relations because it was "true in his experience". Or similar.

Basically; the dev needs a counsellor, or at least someone to give him a smack and tell him to grow up.

When you say "true in his experience", though, that's incorrect. Tynan never said that at all. Like someone else stated, he actually posted a rebuttal that goes through the accusations point by point, which I can provide for you if you like. It can be found here if you're curious. The only thing Tynan is really guilty of in this respect is faulty coding and using research based off of dating sites, which he even admitted probably wasn't the best basis, but it was all he had. And he's even stated he'll be changing things around in the code to fix the controversial elements, because those are not the way he meant them. It's kinda funny, since Tynan had in the past even defended bi-sexuality against people who didn't believe it existed, but here he's being accused of being one of those people just because of code that was misconstrued.

IIRC Tynan did actually apologize after his original knee-jerk defensiveness, and showed the research he did to get the numbers (dating sites and the like :rolleyes:), so at least he did it out of ignorance, not malice.

Yeah, I saw that post he made on Reddit. It seems legit to me.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:

Honestly, this is one of the weakest controversies I've seen, and it looks like everything's been settled now. So I'd like to reaffirm my request for a Rimworld LP.

Edit: There are also mods like Psychology that change Rimworld's gender mechanics from what Tynan put in and unfortunately isn't willing to change himself. Maybe use one of those.

Ah, my mistake. I was reading a second hand account that detailed the probability functions and their implications, not the developer's own words. Also; months ago.

Rimworld seems like it would be a great platform for an LP, so I'm surprised that nobody's tried it yet. It's like a sci-fi Dwarf Fortress, and I know how successful that game's been on here.

Every time I see this I misread it as Ringworld and I think. Well that might be an interesting game to LP, though it might be hard to get into with how old it is and if you haven't read the Ringworld novels.

Fair warning, the game is very hard to get through because of its depiction of mental illness.

Yup! Just remember, when someone says something on the internet, it always pays to doublecheck before you take it as gospel truth. ESPECIALLY when it's someone's reputation on the line. But I second Rimworld, it's a great game, especially if you already love Dwarf Fortress.

Pretty much; The developers went to great pains to accurately depict a combination of PTSD and Paranoid Schizophrenia, as filtered through Pictish Society of the early 11th century.

For people with diagnosed mental health issues, the game is very exhausting on an emotional and mental level.

Also requesting rimworld. I think part of the sexuality problem is that the three traits: Gay, Misandrist, and misogynist are treated as negative trait that doesn't provide benefits for the restriction and/or downfall.

I would recommend reroll if you get those traits for the lp if you don't use psychology mod.

Edit: now might be a good time to ask what mod to use for the lp.

Parsing sage, rotating time



I've been binge-listening to the soundtrack to The Dark Spire, a dungeon crawler for the Nintendo DS, and now I'm kinda curious to see what it looks like in action. As for whether it's a VLP/SSLP, I've no particular preference; I usually prefer videos, but I've also been following Dr. Fetus' Etrian Odyssey LPs, and I doubt you can do it any better than that.

So no one's done an LP of Sunless Sea - Zubmariner, right? I guess I'm requesting that one then.

Sunless Sea is a game with a fantastic writing, but the gameplay is plain arse and Black Wombat's LP of the base game was the objectively superior way of experiencing all the good bits, so I hope someone eventually tackles Zubmariner for us.

If you could be specific, that would help, because you need a road map to navigate your way through Ys on a good day with all the remakes and mid-quels it has.

I'm curious how much audience participation would be wanted in a Tyranny LP, since it really is a game where your decisions matter, with several very different endings which can depend upon choices you make pretty early in the game.
