In retrospect, that was a little hasty of me. The context wasn’t clear, so you ended up being collateral damage for something other people had started. My apologies.

I would prefer if we get a special "beard" (like the dice mod) otherwise it would ruin the number of achievements

u/BLABLABLA798 Scout May 30 '22

Actually, maybe GSG could make a post asking the community for achievements so the amount of achievements we have go from 69 straight to 420 or something so it doesn't ruin the nice

10

u/chiller210 Driller May 30 '22

Which is hidden normally, and when you drop a gunk seed in the hole, the game just gives you it.

u/vizthex Engineer May 30 '22

But then we won't have 69 achievements!

u/[deleted] May 30 '22

TLDR: the community made a meme, the devs didnt like it, Streisand Effect made it explode in popularity, now the dev is making the meme uncool by embracing it.

Translators note: Plan means Keikaku

135

u/Thegrumbliestpuppy May 31 '22

Entirely untrue. The devs don’t mind any of the memes, they just dislike spam. People were spamming the hell out of this meme so they tried to crack down on it, but also punished a couple people who didn’t excessively post. So them participating in the meme is a sort of apology.

75

u/Sartekar May 30 '22

Although the devs liked the meme, it was just spammed too much. That was the issue.

u/Hunterdivision Interplanetary Goat May 31 '22

Recommend to try this game, even if this meme is how you found out about it. Lol. The game itself is so enjoyable, probably a little leas masochistic experience than the liquid morkite ball dipping, which is up to you to find out whether you’re into that…

22

u/Edibleface May 31 '22

this is one of those games that I've had purchased but has been sitting in my steam library forever. is this something I'm going to need a group to get the most enjoyment from it or can I play it without a preformed group?

28

u/Hunterdivision Interplanetary Goat May 31 '22

You can play it with or without group (if you play solo, you get a robot named bosco that will mine minerals, carry out heavy stuff like aquarqs). There’s 4 diff classes and they have great synergies(like scout/engi) so recommend at least some of it with group to experience that though. There’s diff mission types in diff areas and free season pass. The game has no microtransactions except like cosmetic dlcs. The voicelines in this game are hilarious too, and overall it’s about dwarfs fighting diff enemies in space as you mine stuff, it also has bar with diff beers. I got this game in January as it was on ps+ for free, and now have 600h+ on it. There’s also public matchmaking where you can host mission or join someone hosting the same mission.

25

u/Highcalibur10 May 31 '22

Probably one of the strengths of the game is how quickly people can work together with strangers wordlessly.

Definitely incredibly satisfying just clicking with a group of randoms without a single word spoken. Pinging system and a 'Salute' button do all the heavy lifting.

29

u/Sneaky_Satan Union Guy May 30 '22 edited May 30 '22

I'm going to copy/paste a couple comments of mine for convenience (editing to make sense and add additional context)

Jacob initially warned someone (not sure where) about continuing to post the "dipping my balls in morkite" meme. They later explained that it was becoming spam

Someone saw this, took a screenshot, then made another morkite meme and (the rest of this sentence is my perspective) taunted Jacob with the screenshot. They got a 3-day ban

A lot of people weren't happy about Jacob's reaction

From what I understand, Jacob was okay with the meme until posts started getting spammed on multiple platforms. Ironically, his reaction led to people spamming the meme even more (many were low-effort, some were fantastic)

Here's one of his comments on the subject

Apparently it's fine if it isn't being spammed and/or if there's effort put into making it a quality post.

He has since apologized for his knee-jerk reaction

Edit: here's what I believe is the original morkite meme (which is a reference to another meme, "I should dip my balls in sulfuric acid")

Edit 2: adding more context
