Off Topic Management is LYING -- Lootbugs are NOT bugs

Post image
β€’ Upvotes

Now, I know what you're thinking -- you're thinking, "of COURSE Lootbugs are bugs -- they have the word 'BUG' in their name."

Ok, yeah, fair, ok -- but RIDDLE ME this. When you're on a mission with the Regenerative Bugs warning, have you EVER seen a Lootbug regenerative health? No, you haven't -- and that's WEIRD, right? I mean, IF a Lootbug is in fact a bug, WHY doesn't it regenerate health under these circumstances?

Now, we COULD shrug our shoulders and say, "it's a paradox, just like the barber paradox -- Karl would know." But WHAT IF it's NOT a paradox? What if it's a LIE? What if Lootbugs are NOT bugs? What if Karl WOULDN'T know?

But if Lootbugs aren't bugs, WHY would management classify them as bugs? Perhaps MANAGEMENT is SUS? Perhaps management is trying to HIDE the TRUTH -- but what truth might that be?

Well, I don't know about YOU, but I DON'T like BUGS. Just the word "bug" makes me think "SQUISH IT BEFORE IT BITES ME!" But Lootbugs CAN'T bite, right? They're peaceful and adorable -- and management CERTAINLY knows this. But management ALSO knows that Lootbugs are FULL of precious minerals -- minerals which help us BUY resupplies and equipment UPGRADES. And management ALSO KNOWS that we LOVE cute things -- Steeve, Doretta, POG Plants, Cave Vines, you name it!

THUS, management needed to figure out a way to CONVINCE us to kill Lootbugs DESPITE how cute they are. In a stroke of EVIL genius, management INDOCTRINATED us by including "bug" in the name, which leads us to wrongfully OVERRIDE our love of Lootbugs so we can KILL them without becoming CRIPPLED by the GUILT.

Hey MANAGEMENT -- I know you're reading this. WE SEE THROUGH YOUR MANIPULATIONS. WE KNOW LOOTBUGS ARE NOT BUGS. YOU CAN'T HIDE THE TRUTH FOREVER. #LOOTBUGSARENOTBUGS

I'm not sure if anyone has done this before but I kicked this thing into the barrel game. Inspired by the guy who kicked the blue barrel into it.

Anyone wanna hop on?

18 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am very new to the game, and the game seems incredibly fun if you have a dedicated squad. My friends arent really into gaming and especially this type of games so I ended up here to see if there's people who wanna hop on. Im a young dude, gaming on the hours I have spear and Im more of a casual chill gamer but there are times I lock in. Idk if this community really does the whole "dedcated squad to roll" thing but thought Id maybe give it a shot

Thanks!

Question Somebody can explain me how the actually difficulty work?

8 Upvotes

Sometimes i join to a level 4 difficulty and its easy as fuck. I shoot some bug than we leave. Sometime the shitty 3 hazard is harder than a bloody level 7. I just joined to a hazard 4 it was a swarm i killed it than on every 3 second 10 or more bug appered than it was a second swarm. ME the GUNNER run out of ammo. I know more dwarf = more enemy and there is a mission length and cave complex index and i know dangers as well. So anybody can and care to explain why sometimes the game not gaming?


r/DeepRockGalactic 1d ago

ROCK AND STONE Forgot to do tritilyte before calling the drop pod. Thought to myself "might as well try, if the spawn is bad I just leave". And then the game blessed me with this beauty.

as title states, the new expansions are up for preorder. Free shipping at $75, and I wasn't charged taxes. Ends up being cheaper than the Kickstarter (for US based at least)

help me make my engineer promotion less of a grind and more of a joy

31 Upvotes

Hi engineer players and engineer mains. I have gotten a promotion on every class but engineer and I am finding leveling my engineer really slow. After playing every other class to level 25 (or more), engineer seems slow, squishy, and hard to get contributing to the team.

I fundamentally found every other class's gameplay loop. I liked Gunner and Scout a lot and kind of fell in love with Driller. I can't quite make Engineer gel.

I do know a little about sentry and platform placement as I have learned a bit of what a team needs from an engineer by playing the other classes. My sentries will tend to run out of ammo, especially in double swarms. (I haven't yet dared to play engineer in anything higher than haz 3). I have also read that engineer is a slow start, as neither warthog nor PGL is considered strongest for its slot. Is it just a case of waiting to receive the real engineer gear before it gets fun? What is the gameplay loop that got you hooked on engineer?
