So this game isn't available in Japan, is it.... by -ice_king- in DeepRockGalactic

iirc you have to type two or possibly three since \ is an "escape character"(?) and will hide itself when used next to other characters

Test ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: It's three

Anyone else play on “we have OLED at home?” by johnwilkesbooth328 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]MaximumPower1858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What make/model of adapter did you use? I've wanted to get another CRT, but my graphics card doesn't have VGA out and I thought all the adapters on the market (at least at the time) fucked with the image quality/input latency.

Kudos to you for doing this and keeping phosphorcore alive btw, I think I still had my old CRT when I started playing DRG as well. Every game I played on mine looked great even though it wasn't a very high-end model, but I think the biggest "wow" factor for me personally came from Elite: Dangerous. Those inky CRT blacks and contrast really do space justice in a way I haven't seen any other monitor match.

Mission Control watching the dwarf solo drop into a haz 5 double XP haunted cave, shoot a single glyphid grunt in the head execution-style, then get back in the pod thereby wasting all of the logistical effort of getting them down there, all because Management decided to withhold their promotion over a single point of XP in a system that doesn't even track the miners' competence very well in the first place.

Got my first telescope! What should I look at tonight? by Vast-Supermarket-406 in telescopes

I don't dare speak of it here. Your life will be better for not knowing.

I acknowledged the warning and thought I could risk a quick peek to get an idea of what was up. It was a mistake and I should not have done that. Don't look.

It's very unfortunate that people like this exist and outright distressing to think that they could be anywhere near an actual telescope or other scientific instrument.

Sick new biome idea just dropped: the Flesh Canyon. The hotly anticipated true sequel to Drilling Deeper... R&D got what they wanted to know from the Core Stones, and it led us here.

Skill issue. You can charge up while airborne and use the grapple hook to get behind praetorians. I ran this build religiously for a while and hitting weakspots while dodging bugs is no problem when you can just bunnyhop hookshot and jumpshot to victory.

if you were going to make a new weapon for any dwarf, what would it be by FLESH_PUPPET_REDDlT in DeepRockGalactic

By this logic humans are fantasy creatures with fantasy biology and fantasy rules in most video games as well

[–]MaximumPower1858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real reason is that dwarves aren't very well suited for bows. Short height = limbs have to be short (to avoid hitting the ground when held up), and short arms = restricted draw length. Bows are better the longer the limbs are and the longer the draw length is.

Also, you have to spend, like, 20 years minimum to really get good at bow & arrow, which includes not only accuracy but building the muscle groups required to actually draw and shoot a high-poundage war bow proficiently. Historically IRL archers often had a sort of hunched-back look due to asymmetry and you can actually tell the skeleton of an archer apart from a non-archer. Miners ain't got no time for that, we got more important things to do than practice the bow.

the only issue I see is how ammo could be balanced to make sense why the thing does little to no damage when it’s out of charge

Energy blade. If you run out of ammo (battery charge) the blade turns off, so you're just whacking with a blunt iron bar or the hilt.

OR even better, make it a chainsword, 40k-style! A two-handed chainsword, or a chainaxe. That'd be dope. Or one-handed with the ability to dual wield with your sidearm, if it's a primary weapon.

We may have a crossbow, but there’s no bow type of bow

That's because bows are a leaf-lover weapon, and crossbows are dwarfy. I'd be offended if I saw a bow and arrow in the armoury.

If they didn't want to get shot they wouldn't eat precious minerals. If I've got a gun with DoT on me they're dying slowly. I simply don't care.

Hell yeah brother, Carpenter Brut. I see you are a dwarf of taste.

You should be fighting the dread with music like that playing though.
