First experience with SS13

So this is different from the ‘first bwoink’ thread , what was your first experience with SS13?

Found out about it from barotrauma, then watched a couple of videos and guides on it including Seth’s video. I came as an assistant on bee, walked around and burned my hand while touching lights, and died from a virus that set me on fire.

First time i saw ss13 on youtube and it just seemed so hard to grasp, i didnt think i ever would play it.
But then years later i did and shit just clicked with me

I watched Sseth and thought ‘fuck, I wanna try this game.’

I checked for servers, saw bee and joined, because it was for ‘noobs’.

I joined, I think I took janitor, as my friend did, and went to try to keep station ‘clean’.
I am way better ‘gamer’ than he his, so I metacommed a lot of shit to him (you know, how to move and stuff) , then he was stuck in pod and asked me for help. I had no fucking idea so i used pda (because I somehow found that you can find janicarts on PDA) and tried helping him. And I believe once I found him, he was in space, and ling that killed him came for me, so we both ended up in same spot on solars, fucked by some ling.

Edit: And we were both trying to figure what the fuck happened, as it was different from sseth videos.

Edit2: I once tried joining TG (when I was just a beginner) , but they said that they don’t want anyone new because server is full, so I started with bee and I’m loyal to it for almost a year now.

saw this shitty gaem on 8chan, joined paradise, toolboxed few spessmen until horizontal, bwoink and permaban

Watched I think Rimmy play it and I wanted to get in on the action.
I remember one of my first rounds I was a QM on LRP and the legendary Cheeseburger Freedom Man busted my window in and asked me to help him steal things. Left by breaking another window out. It was a fun wizard round as I got a free L6 but didn’t know how to use it and got turned into a Lizard Wizard.

First experience with SS13 was as a shaft miner. I made frequent trips to and from the station to bring back a single, normal satchel of ores at a time and eventually broke both lavaland-side consoles for the shuttle (one on shuttle and one on base itself) from accidentally attacking them before swapping hands/putting away my PKA

Stranded and help not responding from the station, I decide to just explore lavaland and get killed by the first mob I encounter - a Watcher.

RIP, Watchers man, those bastards

My second experience was a monkey round, I was the a monkey, transformed in front of the hos, was flashed and died in less than 5 minutes.

My second experience was (or at least that i rememeber), I was in crit, dragged by some good person to medbay, meanwhile I had some hallucinations and saw mini narsie and shit (most likely buss). I metacommed my buddy and told him that shit and he was fucking amused, then I think I was healed in sleeper and killed shortly after waking up by cultist. Few rounds after that my buddy refused to play it again.

He once tried playing SS again, when I was experienced but uh… his story just ended with few encounters with true NoRP Bee.

Friend let’s me on their account, logs me into beestation and I create a character and choose detective, mime speaks, friend is looming over my shoulder and they’re like “mime speaks that means he’s valid” and I was like “how do I use the radio” and he taught me how and I said “I’m going to unload hot lead into the mime, any objections?” And centcomm sent a message saying “yes, please do unload hot lead into the mime” so I shot the mime to death and my friend taught me how to dispose of the body. And that was my first ss13 round. And then my friend let me use their account, I played on it for a bit, finally decided to make my own and that was how I got into ss13.

I had remembered hearing about this game through barotrauma and in memes, and one day after barotrauma launched for way too much I had a craving to play some. Since I couldn’t, I decided to try ss13, and it’s all been downhill from there. My first round was probably the typical assistant, late join I think, trying to learn the controls, and I didn’t have hotkeys on. I just chatted with the very cool bartender for a while, until shuttle was called and I got on.

similiar to winrawrs story, played ton of OG barotrauma, found sseths video, tried the game once but got confused and scared and let it be, then tried it another time on beestation, i noticed that the experience is better than on other servers since beestation is in germany. Found out how to drink and eat and drunk my ass to crit with vodka, ate ton of meth and died.

Find BPL video in my recommended, watch a few, decide to install game, go on tg as a botanist, look 10 minutes for hydro, find it, go in, surprise surprise someone bombed it and it was only patched up so no air. Go in and die from no oxy

I was introduced to the game, didn’t understand anything and I didn’t even want to play it. After 3 rounds I was basically converted to spess game 2D.
I remember one of my first rounds I died to a simple mob syndie commando, was told to play assistant, but assistant seemed boring back then.

I was so unconvienced I even purposfully chose the edgiest ckey I could’ve thought of. I regret that.

I played TG at first but the admins seemed to have a stick up where the sun doesnmt shine, so I moved to oracle. Oracle seemed perfect to me, and when it was gone, I turned to beestation.

Played on goon, found out how to grab chairs, broke windows, found lethal injection on the floor and injected someone, got beaned

10 year old me was trying to find some space station silicon valley lets plays to watch. Somehow ended up on a forum post where some dude talked about SS13 & boasted upon how he and his friends tortured a prisoner by breaking the lights in their cell before stealing his shoes and then later slapping him around with said shoes, whilst his friends straight up abused em.

For whatever reason, demented 10 year old me thought that was the coolest shit ever and so i’d decided to install the game only to fumble around, beat up ssd folks, walk into space, and pray to be smited a bunch of times not realising it gets sent to the admemes. Eventually i had went on a hiatus after playing as a sec officer back in Goon’s Donut Station 2, in which i felt so bad for some dude that got arrested for whatever reason, to the point where i ended up letting em free. Literally the second after i released em, i felt super guilty about freeing him and ended up disconnecting in shame… Before returning to it years later.

I both hate & love this game.

Learned about it from sseth.

Downloaded BYOND the day the video came out, hopped on the first server I saw which was probably CM. Spawned as a dude with a gun (MP maybe?), saw some gamer saying “God, this operation is a mess. I wish someone shot me”. So I did. But somehow I went into unconsciousness (either shot myself or adminfreezed IDK). Dissconected at that point.

Then I went on goon where I stabbed some dude to death with a scalpel, ran into space accidentally and logged off. Deleted BYOND and forgot about SS13 untill like 2 months after I decided to give it another try.
Hopped on bee started playing assistant, and there we go. Good to note that when I started playing bee I was a fucking chad and played the game like sseth taught us to - robust everyone you see. I still have a note for somehow killing HOS and 2 more people as hotel staff, kinda based ngl.

I did not have a laptop when I found the holy Trinity of Sseth, Mandalore, and Rimmy however while I did see the game I did not really get into it until I found boat bomber videos and later Tex from back pants legion and then I really got into It. (Maybe I found Tex after I played but I do not remember)

I check the space station 13 websites and while I heard that the source code was used to make other servers I did not fully see how different the servers can be.

Look at the goon wiki for it says space station 13 and I was stupid enough to not realize that every server can be different, and I got into the goon server and it was all a blur, all I remember was that I was a Tourist and I took pictures of stuff.

I found bee cus it was noob friendly and I spend most of the round walking around and trying to learn how to light a cigarette while people tell me not to try it. I remember that after playing and learning how to doc that I THOUGHT I was ready IT WAS STUPID TO THINK SO I KNOW to play sec. But that story is for another time.

Right now I am just going round to server to server but sadly I never take part any kind of grey tide…

Until a new rule was added, then yeah I did.

While I don’t play bee that much anymore mainly because it’s VERY chaotic (which I like) I like to play on servers that give me time to at least goof around and role play in a DND game while nuke ops are taking our station down before someone call the shuttle or at least have fewer people acting like shitters or are just power gaming.

Plus, the other reason why I still play bee every now and again is that I have a form account.
