  • These guys are even more paranoid than many smaller instances about user names that appear to be randomly generated. Your own user name, as others in this thread suggested, would easily trigger their auto-ban rules. And a human moderator would take one look at the name and think the same thing.

    God damnit, it took me until now to actually read their username. It’s the youtube URL for the rickroll video (ending in XcQ). I think you’re right though - it was obviously autogenerated originally and only took on its current meaning via Youtube’s use of the string.














  • Yeah, when they talked about procedural generation I was imagining like, photorealistic details or custom textures on the fly, something way more advanced than what was available at the time. I didn’t really understand it but it sounded fancy! But all it really meant was like a random map and random species being chosen. It didn’t quite live up to the marketing, sadly.
