It's less funny when you realize that someone who's been playing from release until now has spent roughly $200 on the game and as good as the shooting is; the rest of it's a mess. My favorite glitch is that when the new season launched, it somehow introduced an absolute ton of new glitches - so sometimes the physics just have a stroke and gravity just stops really applying to enemies, so even a small impact (like a headshot) will make them start bouncing around as if the entire world became a bouncy castle, and things as basic as the graphics menus just don't work anymore and reset every time you open the game meaning if you played on anything but full screen, maximum graphics you have to go in and tweak them every time now. After finishing a major story beat, a vendor was supposed to appear in the main hub; and his gun would show up, but he wouldn't. They fixed that last one just in time for the week to end, but the rest of the bugs are still pretty active and bungie's said nothing about fixing them. Or most, if not all, of the laundry list of bugs they were well aware of before launching the new season and warned people about on twitter.

Fwiw, I think Saint-14 is only supposed to show up on weekends, like Xur, so it's actually the floating gun and icon that were the bug :vv:

Nice, it's up there VTM:B in my head now, the game where my first time playing it started with it spawning nothing in my inventory. I didn't even have the "unarmed" placeholder items, my buddy had to spawn in nothing for me to equip it, and then I could leave the tutorial area and exit first person mode.

I'm reminded of the Bandit King monster type in Dungeonmans (a roguelike made by goon madjackmcmad). Every monster can have champion versions that get special abilities; the Bandit King's champion ability is to disarm you and toss the weapon onto the ground nearby. But if you aren't using any weapons, he'll happily remove your fists instead (and toss them on the ground).

Fortunately you can't actually lose your fists, which lead to one fight I had where there were three copies of my fists sitting on the ground by the end.

It's also a bit like goon favourite Space Station 13. Every part of that game's UI is actually an object that is physically (well, you know what I mean) carried by your player character, due to a limitation of the game engine. As such, it is possible to drop, steal, eat or otherwise lose part of your UI and therefore also part of your own ability to interact with the world. It's entirely possible for someone to knock you out and steal your ability to stand back up, or at least it was at one point.

Might've been this thread, but I think I heard a story about a guy who created something who, whenever you attempted to interact with it in any way, would make two more of itself, and eventually it like, overwrote some importan admin thing or something and rear end-hosed the server until ti got rebooted.

The funniest SS13 story I know is about that one time the admins introduced the ability for smoke to "contaminate" things with the substance it originally came from. As a side effect, it basically turned things around a burning substance into more of the substance.

So what do you think happens when someone sets a piece of cheese on fire? The Great Cheese Fire went in down in history as one of the silliest thing that ever happened to SS13. Everywhere cheese burned, more cheese popped into existence. As cheese burns hot enough to set more cheese on fire, more cheese started burning, which meant more cheese smoke.

Yeah, that particular round ended with a large portion of station turned into half-molten smoked cheese.

you might be thinking of the fractal sandwich, aka the crashwich, which doesn't involve the object copying itself, but does involve putting food into food many, many times over to create a sandwich with a name so long that the server breaks

even if you're not, I'm posting it

Angry Diplomat posted:

Another good example is The Crashwich.

Fractal cooking is a time-honoured tradition of SS13 Chefs. You take six food items (almost anything can be deep-fried to turn it into food), make them into a sandwich, use the sandwich to create a sandwich cake (any food can be made into a cake), slice up the cake, use six cake slices to make a sandwich, etc etc etc. This can create unholy monstrosities that lag the poo poo out of everything merely by virtue of existing, sometimes to the point of causing people to crash out as soon as the game tries to display the thing's exponential name. You will note that the Jay Wolff's buttcake I baked there cuts off after a while - its name was so drat big it overflowed the chat buffer. The buttcake is nothing. It and food like it are pitiful hors d'oeuvres compared to THE CRASHWICH.

You see, there's another life-creating mad scientist chemistry recipe in Space Station 13. It's extremely hard to discover and make, but it has the effect of imbuing any object it touches with life. This creates, for instance, a Living Crowbar that floats around and attacks people. At some point a Chef got the brilliant (terrible) idea to combine the living object recipe with fractal cooking.

Enter The Crashwich. Every time this haunted apocalypse of culinary hubris attacked someone, the game reported its name multiple times. When it charged, when it slammed into someone, and every time it hit them, the chat buffer would once again overflow with infinite recursive fractal sandwich. The entire station was brought to its knees by crippling lag, while anyone unfortunate enough to be present for The Crashwich's rampage would immediately crash out and have to reconnect their client, usually to find themselves dead and/or immediately crash out again because The Crashwich was still wreaking havoc.

The admins rushed to intervene, but were alarmed to find that The Crashwich was creating so much lag that most admins who looked at it were reliably crashing. Those with good enough connections to brute-force through all the lag were shocked to discover that the sheer latency generated by the demon sandwich was causing their admin commands to get lost somewhere in the coding nightmare that is Byond. The admins were trying to delete The Crashwich and failing. Ultimately, their efforts were in vain, and the server went down completely. The admins fought The Crashwich and The Crashwich won.

The admins were apparently so impressed that they collectively decided not to ban the responsible party, but instead to deliver a friendly ultimatum: they would not be punished for causing the server to go down in flames, as long as they never created another Crashwich. NEVER AGAIN.

:allears: what a beautiful game

Going back to the Fallout 76 bug, I think someone in Space Station 13 did manage to take another person’s right hand inventory space. I don’t mean what was in their right hand, but the space that held what was in their right hand.

I think they even deep fried it and tried to eat it, causing the game to crash.

I wish I could find the screencaps on the wiki of the time Pope went absolutely loving apeshit on Chemistry. He murdered all the Chemists, and deleted everything that could potentially be used to do chemistry, even in the kitchen. He sent announcements at each step in this process, getting more and more furious each time someone found some other way to do chemistry on the station. Dozens of people asked "what did the chemists do???" over and over again.

And the next CentCom announcement simply stated: 'THEY EXISTED.'

It shouldn't have been possible. It couldn't have been possible.

As I remember hearing it, yes. The actual method involved repeatedly splitting water between two containers until you had an extremely small amount of water, which meant it got very hot when heat was applied since the heat was trying to heat up a few molecules of water.
