Pet Likes Thread - Little things that make you smile

peoplearestrange · Mon Oct 06, 2014 2:04 pm

A counter to the "Pet Peeves" thread. What makes you keep coming back to the game? What things make your in game day?

As a borg I like it when people actually give me a pet for doing a good job.
I also love finding random coins as an assistant/low level job, I treat it as my lucky coin for the round, flipping it for good luck.

QuartzCrystal · Mon Oct 06, 2014 2:54 pm

When I arrest a traitor or get arrested as a traitor I love one final RP session with the HoS or captain before the execution/permabrigging.

People who actually do their jobs, or leave people to do their jobs (as someone who often plays CMO it's awesome seeing someone yell for help and then let the doctors do their job instead of just dragging their buddy to a sleeper and playing doctor themselves).

Elaborate murders. Something is particularly hilarious about cuffing someone and keeping them stunned as the cargo conveyor belt sends them off, or buckle cuffing someone to a chair wearing EVA equipment and oxygen, but they're right in the way of the emergency shuttle, or another shuttle.

People who say "Yes" to my heal viruses, Cargo techs that order the crate before I get the CMO stamp to save time, getting Armory access from the HoP so I can give Sec and Sci lovely AE guns, and people who enable their suit sensors when I am AI so my medhud works.

The little heart thing Ian does when you pet him.

Engiborgs, most of the time, are absurdly cute.

Casual misspellings that have become memetic like fagit and tator.

I like it when you're an engineer, get the singulo running perfectly and the AI announces it over the Vox thing.

On a related note, i also like it when you're doing well in your department and your head makes a note of it. Even a simple "Thanks" or a "Good Work" can make my day.

When clowns are actually funny.

Which usually involves them getting seriously injured

Stickymayhem · Wed Oct 13, 2021 6:17 pm

When engiborgs ask for pets after helping out, and wait around for it like a puppy.

When, as RD, I tell my department I'm a rogue as fuck changeling and they just think it's funny and send me debrained bodies to eat

When my borgs come back to cuddle me on the satellite as the station or drag me to the shuttle as it's about to take off.

cedarbridge · Post by **cedarbridge** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 10:24 pm #34301

Borg pings in general.

Binary chat when the borgs and AI are veterans to the roles. Humans have no idea the shit we talk behind their backs.

When I drag somebody throwing a total shitfit in the brig over to interrogation and they actually settle down and talk to me like an adult. This has happened exactly twice.

All 4 solars wired into the grid powering the station, with the singulo not set up and the parts locked away. I've done this as CE a few times, it didn't stop a traitor from coming and dismantling the smes in engineering anyway to try to release the non-existent singularity. Not only was there no singulo to release, but the station remained fully powered. More people need to use solars.

When a tator pulls out a double bladed esword and rushes you, and you pull out a spear and wield it and the first hit was yours and a knockout. Didn't even kill the guy, just spaced the esword.

I have a special place in my heard for cargo that actually gives a shit about orders and after ordering them, uses the mail system to dump whatever it is into my office. I've had things missing from longer or complicated orders, but so far cargo is still hitting a better average than UPS.

A clown once caused me to literately laugh out loud.

A clown also once asked me to tell a joke as a "clown apprentice". Told joke, long pause, Clown says "Well, my job is safe" 10/10 for timing.

Almost any use of VOX. The day Gia helped me install it on Badger that first day, I was in a constant state of 'dying by laughter'. And even now, few things can make me laugh on the spot like hearing the AI call the crew abortions or say fuck the clown or whatever.

Add in Engineers that do this without being ordered to by the CE. A competent Engineering team is an amazing thing.

And Engineers who drop off the Rig Suits when they're done with them instead of pretending to be Isaac Clark for the rest of the round.

Had a 1v1 sword fight yesterday, it came down to a bare knuckle match. Granted I lost it was still glorious

Also when being attacked by a sword user drop a box or bag with a space in it. Granted the user will accidently click the box and his weapon will be in the off state inside the container.
why is this allowed? The weapon is in bulkly mode this shouldnt be allowed

Mining in the Gulag.
Granted, I've never ever mined AT ALL before that, but I used a pickaxe and started hacking away at rock. Then had the sense to carrying a mining satchel and accidentally clicked at ores with it. It picked all the ore on that tile! I thought I wouldn't see iron anymore, so I go back and get a flashlight! More ore! I start to think this is too hard when I get a basic pair of mesons, and wonder what's so good and why miners love them. I walked down my tunnel and put them on. Glory.

I'm going to ask to be sent to Gulag now. Never done it ever before that, but mining is fun and I even found diamond ore in my haul in the Gulag. Granted it's only good if you're alone so no one can steal or something, but I think I want to main something else.

When something mind-bending absurd happens. I don't mean the obvious stuff like big admin events; a lot of the time, just like Clown/Mime Security, or that one time recently we had to brig a monkey. Like, we welded the vent, and cuffed him in the cell, then uncuffed him. Proper brigging procedure down to the letter, gave him a few for assault and everything. It was an intelligent monkey, the Geneticist had become one to grief, but the very idea just made me laugh.
