Player: From yo momma last night ;3
Player: The primary cause was, as you might expect, Sseth's (in)famous video. I tried out Paradise for a round and didn't quite get it the first time. I didn't make further attempts for a while, but rewatches of the aforementioned video drew me in again. After that, the game became a full-on obsession for a good year, or longer. I first heard about /tg/station itself on r/SS13.
Player: Like 6 or something years ago I found the blackpantslegion on youtube.
Player: I got banned off Goonstation and was looking for an LRP server
Player: My brother showed me this game & server. He found it from a youtuber or something idk
Player: A Sseth video. As shrimple as that
Player: A Sseth video. As shrimple as that
Player: a friend showed me the game 14 years ago
Player: I found out about SS13 from a friend. I believe that this friend found out about SS13 from the Sseth video. I orignially started on fulp, but when it started to go downhill - and I wasn't new to the game anymore, I came to TG. I started on Sybil, as I am on the West Coast of the United States. However, the more consistent pop of Manuel drew me here - where I am answering this poll right now.
Player: MandaloreGaming's SS13 video comment section
Player: Through Oney's, Mandarlore's and Seth's (sorry) videos.
Player: A fucking barotrauma mod used a remix of tintinonthemoon as a menu theme replacement and it was such a banger i discovered space station 13. this isn't a joke
Player: Found it on the Byond server section after watching the Sseth video
Player: Internet forum
Player: MrMelbert hijack wizard video, back in 202*, which made me realise that there's a world besides ugly Paradise Station with their out-dated build. since then I've been honestly amazed by how reactive and hard-working /tg/ maintainer community is.
Player: Saw it mentioned in gmod at some point and I found the goonstation website. When I got tired of playing goon, I moved to tg.
Player: Livrah's videos :)
Player: after i got banned on fulp i wanted to play on a similar codebase, so i tried Terry and got stuck here :D
Player: a friend told me about it and showed me the SSETH video
Player: Found out about SS13 through SS14 actually, found out about SS14 through youtube reccomendations and thought it was a very cool concept. Played enough of SS14 until most jobs were boring and wanted to try SS13 for the supposedly infinite more content
Player: Tex Texicus, of Battletech fame.
Player: there is no way out of it, to whoever is reading this. you need an influencer budget

Player: SSeth of course.

Player: your mother
Player: How do leave from blank
Player: sseth
Player: Saw a Ssseth video, put off playing goon for like 9 months and then tried with 2 buddies. It was a very jarring experience and then kept on trying to overcome the hurdle that is this game's controls.
Player: Cause of extremely funny and robust Livrah videos and some streams.
Player: ssethtzeentach
Player: Mandalore
Player: SSETH
Player: Watched the first cult con video made by Livrah, then it just spiralled from there
Player: I dont remember sorry
Player: Tex from Blackpantslegion and his adventures of Randolph P Checkers.
Player: a sleepycast episode. https://youtu.be/qSufojeoLJU
Player: The first instance I saw of ss13 was Sseth's video reviewing the game, but I didn't try it because of his video, more because I got bored of the massive lack of content and very shallow systems of ss14.
Player: youtube and me brother
Player: weird psycho friend told me about it
Player: I think i learned of tg ages ago after watching a boatbomber vid or two
Player: I saw joey petunia's pod tesla video!
Player: Saw sseth video years ago but only started playing when a friend recommended the game/I started watching videos... now I am hopelessly addicted
Player: I was watching videos from this guy on youtube Charborg cause he made funny Voices OF The Void videos and then I saw this cool multiplayer game with teamwork in space and he was playing goonstation and that made me install ss13
Player: revealed to me in a dream
Player: A highschool friend asked me and a couple of our buddies if we wanted to try SS13 out and brought us to Bagil, I had no clue what SS13 was and when I first tried it out I didn't enjoy or understand the appeal much. A good while later (maybe a couple months or possibly a year)I decided to come back and got HOOKED. I was binge playing SS13 in phases throughout the years I've been present on the TG servers and here I am today. Unfortunately we haven't been in touch and haven't been around here for quite some time.
Player: Friend showed me ss13 around 2018ish and we played on vgstation, I figured there was a tg server and lo and behold there was and dats my story
Player: I long ago watched Tex of the Black Pants Legion's various videos on the game after encoutnering stuff about the game through MandaloreGaming. I watched it for hours on end before I ever actually turned up to play a round.
Player: Reddit post asking about less known games that people loved circa early 2016
Player: From the TwitchStreamer "Livrah"
Player: I was autistic enough to find out about ss13 Do you think i will not be autistic enough to find out about tg ?
Player: I got banned from fulpstation so I came here as it was more fun. Also livrah.
Player: I first discovered /tg/station back around 2013-2014 after watching PlumpHelmetPunk playing on Goonstation, just searching for "SS13 Wiki" mainly; found the /tg/ wiki instead of the Goon wiki by accident and was lured in by the idea of mini-mecha, stayed for the longer rounds and more sandbox elements. I joined /tg/station shortly after I joined Goon and played there for a while on an older account that I've since lost access to (MCipher).
Player: About ss13 - from a random forum while searching for a game called Among Us (ඞ). About TGstation - from a russian ss13 community. I just wanted to improve my english and now here i am - spending 12 hours a day in a 2d game about spacemans. This game is beautiful. Don't play it. Sseth was right. SOMEBODY HELP ME
Player: sseth and the obscure mongolian basket weaving website
Player: ssethtide worldwide. tgstation was just one of the EU servers that had population above 5
Player: Sseth i think
Player: SS13 in general through the sseth video, /tg/ through looking for LRP servers on the byond hub
Player: i found out about ss13 as a whole back in 2019, but i do not remember what from. it wasn't the sseth video, since i didn't see that until around 2022. i believe i found /tg/ on the hub when i was just trying different servers.
Player: Found out about ss13 from russ money a loooong time ago. Found out about tg station because I found it had the best wiki when i was getting started, so I relatively arbitrarily chose to play here.
Player: I learned it from space station 14
Player: I was told about it by my friends and I was attracted by videos made by Livrah, later than by other youtubers.
Player: I first started playing SS14. I wanted to try out ss13 so I first played some Fulpstation before joining the orginal TG since SS14 and it are very similar
Player: I started playing ss13 after watching sseth's video. After trying couple of servers i liked tg code after trying it on fulpstation because it had "new player friendly" thing on the hub. After getting banned there i came to tg.
Player: Hey hey people
Player: Seth video
Player: From tex videos, then /tg/ was just the most popular european server at the time
Player: Lebruh streams
Player: I joined with the sethtide
Player: "Hey hey, people. Sseth here". Also blame Livrah.
Player: "Hey hey, people. Sseth here". Also blame Livrah.
Player: I was making a cs zombie escape map along the lines of ze_atix_panic and it was space station themed and I searched on google for ideas and the first autocomplete was Space Station 13. I started off on paradise cuz highpop & hubbed but then the coolest paradise player, Imsxz, got banned for some dumb bullshit and I heard they moved to /tg/station which had no furshit in it so I moved to /tg/.
Player: Started looking through popular servers once I got tired of Bay back in the days, liked the codebase, stuck around for the community.
Player: like 10 years ago a bunch of friends playing eve online were playing space station and invited me to come play
Player: Crikens first few videos on barotrauma. Barotrauma was in its legacy stage back and played loads of it. One day I somehow decided to read the official page of the legacy game and read that is was inspired by SS13.
Player: I knew about tgstation since 2015, I think. I just never really played much on it until after 2017, but quit SS13 to focus on my career. Started playing again in 2024, but my old servers had changed too much as to be unrecognisable. So I decided to give /tg/ a try again.
Player: There was a really old video I saw in the past called "SS13 - Setting up the singularity containment field" in 2013. I tried to find the game and never could because I was young and dull. fast forward to SSeth making that video on ss13, and then the puzzle peices clicked together and was finally able to put together HOW to download the game. thats my story!
Player: friend
Player: found it on the byond browser
Player: Found out about the game when I saw the sseth video. Joined in during that mad tide. Holy shit we were a bunch of shitters.
Player: SsethTzeentach
Player: sseth's video
Player: I was watching Goon videos from a streamer and when I looked up the wiki page for goon I found out about these servers. After Goon was down for a while I checked out TG and stayed because I love the firearm mechanics.
Player: All I have to say to you...is tigi station.
Player: All I have to say to you...is tigi station.
Player: All I have to say to you...is tigi station.
Player: sethzeentech i was part of the seth tide
Player: sethzeentech i was part of the seth tide
Player: On that SS13 website that now has its own mini server browser.
Player: friends back in 2013
Player: i first started playing on ss13 like few years ago around 2020 or something on goon station after watching a youtuber, then i have not touched ss13 up until 2024 when i wanted to revisit it after playing on ss14.
Player: i saw a youtuber play goon station and i somehow ended up on tgstation
Player: a friend told me about it, i started on goonstation and then moved here after i got bored of it
Player: I found out about SS13 via the Facepunch forums, although I never joined at that time. I started off on Goonstation although I don't recall why. The reason I moved to TG was boredom and watching a Boat Bomber video talking about finding your server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZSozg4tYiY
Player: Later join of the seth tide
Player: Sseth vid lol
Player: A friend a while back. This was a month or so before ssethtide, he found it from a youtube video, forget which but it wasn't sseth's.
Player: Barotrauma
Player: youtube videos of people finding crazy exploits, and forming gimmicks or plans around them for an entertaining round, from the sseth video to whatever livra video, those things used to trace back to tg station, back when it was more relaxed and the "fun zone" in ss13
Player: was playing space station 14 and thought why there was a number "14", thought about other numbers like space station 1, 2 ,3... and found space station 13, i found out about tg station by a byond hub, and also some funny videos (ngl old videos hit good, like Kleinworks video "Dr.Thrax", I miss old floortile's textures and old closet textures tho)
Player: Friend
Player: Friend was streaming the game to me and I found it interesting because he was taking 5 minutes to look for a way to wash his clothes from blood
Player: jay owen made me play the game a lot of time back give him an antag token so he plays again ever that son of a bitch left me here
Player: Video yes I love it
Player: ripples from ssethtide
Player: i'm not even gonna lie to you chief im a former ssethtider
Player: Sseth's review of SS13. Stumbled upon tg eventually.
Player: a friend mentioned ss13 and I looked it up and played 14 for a while, got bored and left, then I downloaded 13 to try it out and found it fun, then I left again, then I came back to 14 and 13 and its my favorite game ever at this point
Player: saw /vg/station on 4chan in 2012-2014, played a bit, left, came back a few years later to try goon, played a few rounds, left, got the urge to revisit it, found tgstation, help ive been trapped here for six years
Player: Initially, it was the Ssethtide which was- how many years ago? I initially learnt of it because of Sseth's video on the matter, then I remember being fascinated by it and going down the rabbit hole about a year after the video's release, the rest is history.
Player: Played ss14 for a while, saw a funny youtuber "Livrah" and now i'm here
Player: friend showed me the seth video
Player: hey hey seth
Player: hey hey seth
Player: hey hey seth
Player: hey hey seth
Player: hey hey seth
Player: I saw the video about it from SsethTzeentach, but I didn't actually try the game until a friend asked me to play it.
Player: Ive been around a while. Hopped from server to server. Just sorta heard in passing I suppose.
Player: from livrah s videos and by a small part from the ss13 serverhub
Player: You know what it was, ice dweller. "Hey hey people".
Player: 12 years ago my friend who had contributed to BYOND projects previously got me into SS13. I remember playing a lot of Best RP, Yog and Basil.
Player: Sseth... But I think Livrah helped it stick
Player: MandaloreGaming's video on it.
Player: When sseth's video got released 4-5 years ago.
Player: Boris.
Player: a whiiiile ago, a friend held me at gun point(/j) and forced me to download byond.
Player: I watched the review from Mandalore Gaming when i was attempting to find some new small games to play some 5 years ago, got hooked and played around 200 hours of Goon. Then i noticed Colonial Marines and played around 150-200 hours of that. Then i periodicaly returned to Goon and played only AI/Command roles/Spetial roles for around 80 hours and realised the faults with the server. And now im here and i have no idea how the jobs i figured out in Goon and CM work becouse Goon is just built different and and you dont tipicaly do anything else then shoot in CM.
Player: its dead its over
Player: its dead its over
Player: A friend invited me to ss13 in around 2013, and the game appealed to me so I started to look for the most popular servers at the time. I was a 4channer, so when I saw /vg/ and /tg/ it drew my attention right away so I checked these out, along with Bay. TG had Sybil and Basil back in those days, and I gravitated towards Basil since it was the MRP server back in those days and I played Basil a lot for a couple years, in 2014-2016 era, during which time they also added a third EU server called Artem. Since then I've been coming back to ss13 every couple of years, always to tg.
