but I only use wood and glue

why would I want a table where I have to sit on the floor though

we use chairs in the civilized world

[errant raven]

You could be japanese and not know it

[summer cedar]

'civilised' and using wood and glue instead of high-tech, Fallout vault locks.

tsk tsk

[summer cedar]

No. He's a breadman.

[proud jay]

I don't like using any screws and stuff like that

[summer cedar]

So you want to snort the glue, eh?

[errant raven]

Huffing glue is fun until you're braindead

[summer cedar]

👀 Tell me more.

Too much. Tell me less.

Ah.

That's just right.

🍜

Aughh! You ruined it with more.

👊

[proud jay]

what if you start of braindead though

[summer cedar]

You are permitted to sniff forever.

[rare mauve]

how do you know it's not even more fun when you're braindead?

[summer cedar]

Your ethereal body will enjoy it instead.

[errant raven]

Then you have nothing to lose huffing glue

[summer cedar]

Denied.

[proud jay]

How do people grow these 700+ pound pumpkins man

[summer cedar]

1. You take one pound.

2. You add 699 pounds.

Done.

[unborn lotus]

it's steroids

[summer cedar]

Ah, 40C outside.

Good times.

[brittle holly]

40? Where are you, Saudi Arabia?

[summer cedar]

A semi-arid area in south-east India.

Climate change has been nice to us actually.

The average used to be 45C in summer for years, until 2022.

Then it started fluctuating between 35 and 40C. Refilling the local river helped.

[proud jay]

so you're saying people should pee in the river more

[summer cedar]

That'd probably fill up more dry rivers much faster.

Actually, I've been thinking of acquiring one of those water recycling systems that NASA uses.

I'd love to test it out. William Shatner said you get 'pure' water out of them.

[errant raven]

Oh. They cut off every single fruiting part of the pumpkin vine except for one so all the energy goes into that single pumpkin

Seems easy, gonna grow a 1000 pound pumpkin.

[summer cedar]

If you succeed, auction it off in Japan.

They pay more than $15,000 for those big'uns.

[errant raven]

No

I will make big pumpkin pie

[summer cedar]

If you get $15,000, you can get someone else to make you a big pumpkin pie, with smaller pumpkins.

Profit all around.

[errant raven]

But I want big pun pie from big pun

[summer cedar]

GO FOR IT! YOLO!

Also, apparently the solar eclipse glasses sold on Amazon were defective and now, several people in the US are reporting that, "MY EYES HURT!"

In other news, Windus predicts that Neuralink will be accepting a lot of soon-to-be-blind people in the near future for brain chip tests.

[empty dune]

Oh no, i think you ran into that level difficulty lock bug that @pearl elk ran into

[timber viper]

i play with others

[empty dune]

But the devs said they had fixed that

[timber viper]

idk even 20-30 minute matches look extremely easy, I practically roam around and then extract

[empty dune]

I mean, i play full teams too, my runs don't take 5 min unless I beeline for the main objective and extract

[timber viper]

I am disappointed if whatever it is

was expecting something more immersive

[empty dune]

What difficulty level are you playing lol

[timber viper]

idk didnt set anything

[proud jay]

so probably trivial

[empty dune]

Yeah you're on trivial

[proud jay]

when on the galactic map it's on the bottom

[timber viper]

[empty dune]

There's no way in hell you can just "roam around for 30 min" on helldive

[proud jay]

trivial missions are indeed quite boring

I only did them a few times

sometimes when I know I only have 10 min left to play I do one quickly

[empty dune]

Also, playing against bugs is far far easier than playing against bots

[timber viper]

i played against automotons only

[empty dune]

If you want ptsd, go fight the bots on the western part of the map

[proud jay]

but they're gone from the west side no?

[errant raven]

Hold my beer old man

[proud jay]

or are they back there now?

didn't play yesterday

[timber viper]

they are back

[proud jay]

cause they were coming from the north last I checked

[empty dune]

They are back, they took cyberstan

[timber viper]

fucking joel

he knew they'd be back

didnt warn anyone

[empty dune]

We knew, there were clues in the game

We just thought it would be illuminates

[proud jay]

well I was pretty sure they would come back at some point, would be a shame to throw it all away a few months after release

I thought it would've taken longer though

no time for bugs 😔

got to keep crushing the bots

[empty dune]

Bugdiving is just state mandated recreation time

Eyy, that's impressive

Is this your first bench?

[proud jay]

yes

[empty dune]

Nice

Good job then

[proud jay]

you say this as if I'll be making 30 more benches lol

[empty dune]

I mean, i did woodworking for only a couple years and i made like, idk, 6

[proud jay]

hmm

I like some variety

made a cutting board, a table and this bench, and almost finished a shoe rack/table

(that last one you see on the pic next to the bench)

[empty dune]

My hardest thing was a carving. Im not good enough for carving

[proud jay]

what did you carve

[empty dune]

It was a diorama iirc

Of my college front gate

[proud jay]

you made the front gate of your college?

[empty dune]

Yeah lol

[proud jay]

nice

[proud jay]

I only started in september, and only really started actual projects a few months ago

like january or something

[empty dune]

It turned out really bad, i really struggled with making smol adjustments and cuts

[proud jay]

carving seems too fined detailed for me

[empty dune]

Ah nice

[proud jay]

I'm not that kind of creative

unless someone makes a plan of exactly what I need to carve maybe

[median wraith]

mOARNING

[empty dune]

Yeah it's hard. Some people have a knack for it though, try it sometime, you might be one of those lucky few

you should watch "my octopus teacher"

[errant raven]

What's that

Hentai or anime

[proud jay]

a documentary

[errant raven]

Oh. Could've gone both ways

[proud jay]

about a diver that became friends with an octopus

[errant raven]

It's a netflix documentary

Is it filled with bias and misinformation

Maybe a chocolate spread one, too.

On LARGE sandwich breads.

@proud jay do you have there in the north trash containers that need to be opened with an ID Card ?

[summer cedar]

That tracks.
Even Indians don't believe I am Indian.

Time to watch Fallout on Amazon Prime.

[proud jay]

no

[summer cedar]

Seems thematic - watching Fallout while eating peanut butter sandwiches.

[proud jay]

they pick up our trash at home

if you go to a container park you have to scan your id for certain trash though

but because you get a certain amount of weight for free

e.g. I can dump 200kg of green waste for free

per year

[zinc matrix]

Still feel I am somewhere in the middle

[proud jay]

I just know Clang has very nice errors compared to msvc

[analog lily]

Is it just me or do job posting have insane requirment lists ?

They seem to cover multiple jobs and basicslly just "we need you to solve our problems on all fronts !"

[proud jay]

of course they do

it's a wishlist

just ignore 90% of them

[analog lily]

Guess it works to scare off the insecure ones aswell lol

[fleet tangle]

It really does. MSVC is awful.

[fleet tangle]

Job postings are for "ideal" candidates, not "what we'll actually accept"

Most of the "must haves" are probably in that boat too

[analog lily]

[proud jay]

https://youtu.be/1-hyYeBh5oo?t=123

just make your own build system

so that everything compiles slow

[cursive crypt]

They hunt all these fired recently from the AAA studios.

[fleet tangle]

If you've got 3 released titles in 5 years, is that really professional dev?

Surely that's not very long per game.

(for AAA studios)

[analog lily]

When can you say you have released a game 🤷‍♂️

[fleet tangle]

I guess there's a new fifa every year...

[analog lily]

Joined in the last sprint, did I releae a AAA game?

With fifa they expect atleast 5 games in 5 years 😋

[summer cedar]

I finished the first episode of Fallout.

Thumbs up, except for a certain directing style that will flop unless they remain consistent throughout the series with it.

[cursive crypt]

Look like a serious offer.

[summer cedar]

But, they botched the direction in the 2nd episode.

I don't want to post spoilers, but consistency went out the window.

The visuals are nice, though. It IS Fallout, but so far, they haven't discussed the actual fallout much.

le sigh

[cursive crypt]

Imma binge it when completed.

[summer cedar]

Aaron Moten looks like Denzel Washington at times.

Good actor so far.

Yeah, there's definitely that one-more-episode feeling, at least for now.

[proud jay]

here's the final episode https://youtu.be/kjyeCdd-dl8

[empty dune]

Lmao

[timber viper]

@empty dune @proud jay

i was on challenging so far

not trivial

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fall-fail-9lives-funny-animals-gif-11269825532799858027

[proud jay]

how are you finishing challenging in 5 min

no way

do you just ignore everything and all enemies and A line to the objective and back to extraction

even that would take more than 5 min

what kind of missions have you been doing?

[median wraith]

here is for the organic it seems

what you mean for free?

wait drop the trash isn't free there ?

[proud jay]

depends on the trash

the home pickup you have to buy bags, which subsidizes the pickup

in container park basic stuff is free, but like scrap metal or old electronics or tyres and stuff is paying

[empty dune]

There is no way you're finishing challenging in 5 minutes unless you've been doing exterminate missions exclusively

Exterminate or blitz missions have time limit of only 12 min, everything else has 40 min. so unless you've been doing that and nothing else, you're not doing challenging in 5 min consistently

[median wraith]

mmm here for big things if you aren't a company usually you don't pay, in general we pay a tax for trash, and now you have to pay for the trash id card in order to open the organic containers

[proud jay]

man, was about to roast an american about his shit country in another discord

and he just says "let's not discuss politics"

sorry, I didn't know not wanting to let people die in the streets was a political statement

[timber viper]

ok so

deployed in a match took 30 mins

it was on challenging (4) difficulty

but game itself wasnt challenging

WHEN THIS DOES GET FUN

i literally run around without shooting anything, get no damage, throw a few orbital cannons randomly, extract

at best 2 automaton ships arrive and deploy things, single orbital cannon erase them from existence, win

[proud jay]

are you playing a different game 🤔

[proud jay]

or are you just pro?

[timber viper]

i dont even play

my teammates are 20 level or 30 at best

i dont know them, they are random strangers

we all just throw orbitals randomly, or they shoot for me

and game ends

soooo boring

what others are playing

[proud jay]

your experience sounds very different to mine

but could be I guess

maybe keep upping difficulty?

I mostly play on challenging, and I wouldn't say it's necessarily hard most missions, but definitely not a snoozefest

and have some very close encounters

american's really be delusional

[timber viper]

i dare them to do better kebab

if they can

[proud jay]

american education is really subpar

[timber viper]

reminded me of this

[proud jay]

I've seen that yeah lol

lol

classic strategy when losing an argument

lol, and now he's pulling out facts about danish pronounciation

while talking to a danish person

what are americans even

[white oxide]

nutjob patriots?

owners of the biggest military?

majority of the worlds gun owners?

[proud jay]

they really should be banned from being alive

apparently OJ Simpson died

who would fit the glove

[summer cedar]

If they can't read, they're probably Trumpers over there.

Best to ignore them.

So, was Vault-Tec responsible for egging the superpowers to launch nukes at one another? - Fallout lore question

[unborn lotus]

That is racist sir

[proud jay]

no

first off, american is not a race

second, I discriminate based on stupidity

it just turns out all americans are dumb as bricks

[empty dune]

what the fuck, are we playing the same game???

[proud jay]

that's what I said

[empty dune]

two?? just two???? i get more than two bot drops on trivial

[timber viper]

overall more, but during encounters its two or three at best

and third comes after 20 seconds or so

[proud jay]

no way you're playing on challenging

[timber viper]

and before it deploys robots we kill them all anyway

i swear I play on challenging

[proud jay]

I've never even seen a dropship with like less than 7 enemies

you've seen a dropship right?

[empty dune]

either youre some kind of god level pro or youre being carried and you dont even know it

[timber viper]

i mean the count of dropships

[proud jay]

Eren is gaming god

[timber viper]

not the amount of bots dropships deploy

at best there are two dropships, but most of the time we destroy it before it can deploy

third one arrives after we slaughtered them all

fourth never comes

[proud jay]

I've seen people destroy the ships, but I don't even know how to 😔

[empty dune]

yes, thats what you should do. actually letting them land gets you all killed

[summer cedar]

This seems like a good team.

[proud jay]

I guess with anti tank

[empty dune]

hit the thrusters with explosive armor piercing

[timber viper]

there are a few games we couldnt kill them before they deploy

but it took us 10 seconds to erase them

[proud jay]

what guns have explosive armor piercing?

I mostly use auto cannon

[empty dune]

EAT, quasar, recoilless

[proud jay]

have you been playing with the same guys all the time?

[timber viper]

no

[proud jay]

strange

[timber viper]

completely random people

sometimes as duo sometimes four people

[summer cedar]

all of whom support democracy.

That gives them power.

[empty dune]

okay, what were the mission timers?

[summer cedar]

the POWER to WIN! ✊

[timber viper]

40min

[empty dune]

and the objective was?

[timber viper]

ICMB, defend, clear outpost etc

kill 100% of enemies

[empty dune]

you found icbm and defend boring????

[proud jay]

Eren has standards 😔

[empty dune]

im struggling to believe this

[timber viper]

i understand something is wrong

however

[proud jay]

maybe it's just not the type of game for Eren

[timber viper]

that doesnt change the fact all of my matches were boring

maybe game bugged

or my teammates were gods

idk

[summer cedar]

It's possible. If you're used to good gaming skills, you'll be pretty good even at new games right off the bat.

[timber viper]

i really didnt get damaged

or died

[proud jay]

that's wild though

[timber viper]

i died at my first match but some stupid deployed something on my face

[empty dune]

most of the time on level 9 difficulty, it takes over 10 reinforcements just to secure the initial drop zone

eren is gaming god confirmed

[timber viper]

i suck at gaming

[proud jay]

yo join our lobby

[summer cedar]

When I was playing D4 for the first time, the totally random people who played events with me said I was 'efficient' and 'good', despite the fact that it was my first time playing the game.

[proud jay]

carry us through helldive

pls

jk, I don't even have helldive unlocked yet

[timber viper]

fuu i have bugs to fix

stop

but whatever

if I say my client I was helldiving pretty sure they'll be understanding

at worst case they're missing the deadline that a very annoying investor who holds the reings on the project pressuring them about

[empty dune]

i am in awe

i feel like im in the presence of something divine

[timber viper]

same, why would anyone work with such an annoying investor

im in awe

[empty dune]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-let-me-tell-you-gif-13129374

[proud jay]

Time to jump into helldivers and do some easy peasy missions without even getting hit on helldive difficulty

[empty dune]

biblically accurate eren

[timber viper]

helldive difficulty is when you have to figure which AST node you shouldnt traverse when transpiling a BP that contains editor only property by reverse engineering a linked list and mapping them to their respective AST indexes

and then working with the said client for another thing simultaneously

and being in Eid because your family pressures you to spend time with visitors

[summer cedar]

Interestingly, Eren is not the only one who thinks the game is boring.

Starting Feb, 2024, there're multiple threads criticising the game for being repetitive and boring.

[timber viper]

honestly it is

[proud jay]

I could get it being boring

[timber viper]

it was an extracting shooter

[proud jay]

I don't get never even getting close to dying

[empty dune]

the game is repetitive, yes. boring? hell no

[timber viper]

i thought it was like BF with persistent maps

and merely two factions?

[summer cedar]

Something changed in February, apparently.

There're YT videos saying so to that effect.

Last update ruined it. It's boring since last month. Etc. etc.

[empty dune]

oh thats the railgun nerf

[proud jay]

people just like complaining after their favorite thing gets nerfed

[empty dune]

that instantly discredits every single complaint

[proud jay]

but again, I can get that it's not your thing

but there being no challenge at all is the weird thing to me

[summer cedar]

And TikTok has got in on the act, too.

[empty dune]

i can understand the game not appealing to some people. but saying that the game is easy is wild

[timber viper]

its subjectively easy

[empty dune]

cause most of the people ive seen play and I struggle to do even basic objectives on helldive

[timber viper]

maybe my next match will be a real vietnam experience

but so far it was so boring and easy

idk

[proud jay]

maybe run a solo mission?

see if that changes anything

[timber viper]

it probably would but thats no fun

[proud jay]

maybe fight some bugs if you haven't yet

not that bugs are necessarily harder, but they're different

[empty dune]

i very much think either eren has the reflexes of his titan namesake or he's getting carried so hard he has no clue whats happening

[summer cedar]

Time to raise the difficulty further, Eren.

FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

[timber viper]

ok lets assume the latter

because former is impossible

[summer cedar]

Getting carried by complete randos every single time means Eren has Godly Luck.

He's an Isekai character.

[timber viper]

thats indeed possible, god have a tendency to spend my luck budget on trivial things

and not grant me anything when i need it

[summer cedar]

Case closed.

Raise the difficult. Let's make it harder on the Godly Luck skill.

[empty dune]

@timber viper have you faced these fuckers yet? 15 of them at once? i struggle to fight like 3-5 of these at once

[timber viper]

yes

retreated, threw all my bombs, setup a sentry

[proud jay]

and still didn't die?

[timber viper]

other mates also threw bombs

done

[proud jay]

bruh

[empty dune]

a sentry killed a hulk????

[timber viper]

no

idk bombs acted faster

i figured it wouldnt penetrate but

[summer cedar]

Eren's right.

[timber viper]

wanted to be useful for once

[summer cedar]

I read the same strategy right now.

on the Steam forums.

[proud jay]

even with orbital laser it takes some time to kill them

[summer cedar]

They were complaining that it was too easy, too.

All of them threw their grenades, or butt bombs, or whatever.

[timber viper]

does that even damage you on distance

[empty dune]

you realise you only have 4 grenades right? 6 with the armor perk? and there's 30 of these at every objective? and there's 10+ objectives per match?

[timber viper]

i got very near to it

[summer cedar]

Both of you wastrel devs, Raindust and Dieter, go play HD 2 and throw grenades. See if that works, like Eren.

[timber viper]

didnt do anything

map was empty

teammates were away

it looked at me and tried to get close

then i ran away

[proud jay]

it does bug out sometimes

but it can definitely shoot you

but it's most deadly up close

[empty dune]

trust me the grenades will kill one or two, the problem is there are 30 more to replace them

your problem in this game is ammo and resource management

its very easy to solo the enemy types one on one

thing is, they never come one on one

[timber viper]

what

map is full of ammo

never ran out of it

in which parallel universe you guys are playing wtf

[proud jay]

never really had ammo issues

grenades shortage I've had plenty of times though

[summer cedar]

There's also the possibility that an entire team throwing grenades almost together, throws the damage calculation out of whack.

[unreal ether]

If you struggle for ammo, just shoot less

[proud jay]

just use Sickle

[timber viper]

you are too much for democracy

[timber viper]

they did that

[summer cedar]

But, what Eren says tracks with the reddit and steam threads.

[timber viper]

but not me

i threw, didnt affect much

they threw altogether

it died

[summer cedar]

🤷

Well, the good news is, you can raise the difficulty further.

You can, right?

[timber viper]

but there is a possibility of maybe it was on the map for longer and I just didnt see it, and others couldnt kill it so it appeared out of nowhere

[summer cedar]

Or did I read that wrong?

[timber viper]

but why, after 10 mins, idk

[timber viper]

yes

i unlcoked hard mode

i hope it gets fun from now on

i rather complain about how difficult it is here

[empty dune]

yeah i think its just the gaming elites, gods among mortals. cause what you and eren is saying is wildly different from what i experience. and they actually made the game harder since the march update, not easier

[summer cedar]

Go for it. If the same mass grenading works in those difficulties, too, then it's a dmg calc problem.

[summer cedar]

I haven't played it. I am citing the reddit and steam threads. There are about four players I've read saying the same thing.

There are yet others complaining about the brutal difficulty, too.

I assume mass grenading is bugged in some way. Test it out and see.

[empty dune]

its not, i use the grenade launcher AND autocannon and my standard grenades

it works fine

[summer cedar]

Yes, but we are talking about the WHOLE TEAM grenading together.

did you try that with your randos?

[empty dune]

there are bugs with damage calculations yes but that is only on the PS5

[timber viper]

338k KIA

more than gallipoli almost

[summer cedar]

👀

[proud jay]

only 21k active?

or is this on 1 planet?

or did the game die since 3 days ago?

[timber viper]

looks like whole game idk

[empty dune]

there's an achievement you get for having 6 orbitals on one spot. i have detonated 12 times the nuclear arsenal of USA trying to get that objective with my team, yes

[timber viper]

sending this as a proof

[empty dune]

that counter is bugged

[summer cedar]

Hmm, 11 million enemies killed with 62 million bullets.

[timber viper]

looks like one planet

[empty dune]

this is the real stats

[summer cedar]

Seems like a waste of ammo. Shoot better ya twats.

[proud jay]

how are there more bullets hit thaen fired

or is second hit?

either way, 100% no way that's accurate

[empty dune]

arc weapons, they were bugged for a while. their bullets didnt count but their hits did lol

[proud jay]

oh

[summer cedar]

Seems like a buggy mess.

I'm glad I didn't get it.

[proud jay]

do enemies do arc damage?

[proud jay]

it's not really

but you do you

cause I saw the steel cutters armor reduces arc by 95%

[empty dune]

not yet. illuminates in helldivers 1 did arc damage

[summer cedar]

I'll wait for it to be released on one of those membership thingies.

[proud jay]

but like if nothing does arc damage what's the point of the armor

except for not killing yourself with tesla tower

[empty dune]

illuminates

[proud jay]

but they don't exist yet

[empty dune]

yee

[proud jay]

anyway, gonna jump in game, hope to match with the goat god eren

[timber viper]

deployed

lets see

[summer cedar]

💣 for the win.

FOR DEMOCRACY, or AICRACY! whichever ranks better!.... and provides more WELFARE MONEY!!!

🤔 Huh. There's an infinite grenades glitch - video on YT last week.

Did they patch that?

[empty dune]

no i think

there's an infinite strategem glitch too

[summer cedar]

And another dude made a video about popping ten grenades at a time.

You sure ammo is a problem?

[empty dune]

if you are using glitches, no

if you play properly, yes

thats why the sickle gun is so popular, it lets you ignore the ammo management part of the game

[summer cedar]

No such thing as 'properly'. There's only 'death' and 'winning'.

If you win, you are proper.

Or else, you're dead.

[brittle holly]

I didn’t like it. Not strong enough for my taste

[empty dune]

not that accurate either

[summer cedar]

Ah, Neo. There you are. Did you spam 1000 grenades and kill everything, like God Eren?

[empty dune]

but thats what you pay to ignore one of the core game mechanics

[brittle holly]

No, I don’t need exploits to spread democracy

[summer cedar]

Have you been winning most of the time?

[brittle holly]

Generally, yes

[proud jay]

What do you use?

[summer cedar]

Generally, hmm? Dead then.

Eren is our only hope.

🤣

[proud jay]

Ive mainly been doing liberator and sickle

[brittle holly]

Liberator penetrator for bots

And for bugs I use the shotgun that lets you reload one bullet at a time, the name escapes me rn

[empty dune]

dude if youre talking about exploits, there's exploits to call down literal tanks. and hacks to give yourself infinite currencies. at that point, why bother playing? thats just pressing the I Win button

[timber viper]

now we are talking

finally

[summer cedar]

Congrats...?

[brittle holly]

And autocannon/flamethrower when it comes to strats for bots/bugs

[proud jay]

So happy for you

[summer cedar]

Some / Many just love winning.
There was this game I played A LONNNNGGGG time ago. It was Guns and something... I forget the name.
People used butterfly exploits... or whatever it was called, in almost every match. It was around for a long time.

Whatever floats their boat.

[brittle holly]

I think this ties into piracy

[summer cedar]

This was around a decade ago; so I've forgotten the name.

It's getting mixed up with Gun Gale something in my head, which is a modern game/anime.

[empty dune]

imo if youre using exploits, your opinion is immediately invalidated to me

if you need to cheat even in a game, my god why bother playing then?

[summer cedar]

It doesn't matter to those folks. They just want to win. It's an addiction. Which is why we have all those EGS things these days. Game Guard, whatever...

[summer cedar]

Piracy? You mean downloading the game illegaly, or something else?

[brittle holly]

Yeah

Illegal use of product

[summer cedar]

I don't think they need to. The client is free.

Ah, yeah; they get banned eventually.

Then they come back again some how.

[brittle holly]

I’m talking about exploits and the #rules here

[summer cedar]

I think it's fine. Discussing the broader topic is permitted. We weren't linking to anything.

[timber viper]

was definitely more fun

[summer cedar]

😄

Now, raise it even more.

I think EXTREME is next.

[proud jay]

You have to play a few missions before unlocking next difficulty

[summer cedar]

This is Eren we're talking about. He'll be done soon.

Just how many difficulties does this game have?

Googles

[brittle holly]

You need to complete an operation or be in a mission that is the last in an operation

[summer cedar]

Four more.

[empty dune]

not really, you just have to complete the last mission in an operation. if you get lucky with SOS calls you can get to the next level after just one mision

[brittle holly]

Helldive difficulty is not really worth it until you’ve unlocked all the stuff requiring samples

It’s nice for the actual challenge but you will not be able to extract most of the time

[empty dune]

i extract in helldive maybe 33% of the time, max

and most of the time its just 1/4 or 2/4 extracted

[brittle holly]

I think it was like 10% for me lol

When they drop 6 tanks on you, on top of the rest of the bots

[empty dune]

oh did you see they unlocked tier 4 modules

[brittle holly]

https://tenor.com/view/worried-scared-oh-no-stop-it-fearful-gif-12534009

[brittle holly]

I did not, I haven’t logged in in a could of days

Anything nice?

[empty dune]

yeah, 6 tanks, 4 walkers, 300 hulks and god knows how many devastators

[brittle holly]

Apparently you can shoot off their rocket pods but I’ve never managed to do that, maybe from up close

[empty dune]

i havent checked all of them yet but there's one that allows complete refill of support weapons from one resupply box

[brittle holly]

Neat

They need to release those scout vehicles so we can get entire squad blown up in 2 seconds

[empty dune]

you can, ive done it. problem is they reload very quickly so you have to hit and run over and over or youll catch atleast 1 missile

[brittle holly]

Yeah, I’d rather hit them with 3 autocannon rounds from a distance

I noticed 3 shots is enough to take out anything

[empty dune]

apparently the anti material rifle is pretty good now

two taps hulks in the head

assuming you hit that tiny spot

[brittle holly]

Can it take out tanks in 3 shots?

[empty dune]

no, tanks are insane

only recoilless or EATs

[brittle holly]

Well from the back I can take them out in 1.5s

Assuming I can get behind them 😅

[empty dune]

problem is getting there lol

those fuckers rotate so fast

[brittle holly]

You just gotta use your teammates as bait, that’s all 🙃

[proud jay]

Just get an eren in your team

Easy win

[empty dune]

lol

or a calamari

or one of the people windus was talking about

there's actually an achievement for finishing a 7+ difficulty blitz mission in under 6 minutes

extreme+ sorry, not suicide

i still dont have this

[summer cedar]

Well, if you lot don't raise your skill levels to Eren-esque, then you're doing it wrong.

[lofty lark]

AMR always did this. If it wasn't two, then it was always 3

[empty dune]

snipers arent my thing so i never played much with it

[lofty lark]

Quasar two shots if you shoot turret (no weakspot needed), unless they nerfed it.

[empty dune]

oh right i forgot about the quasar

[lofty lark]

SPEAR 1 shots tanks whenif it decides to lock on to the damn thing

[empty dune]

spear is bugged though

[summer cedar]

what's AMR?

[lofty lark]

Anti Material Rifle

[summer cedar]

🤣

I thought it was a game title.

[lofty lark]

Has this been confirmed? That would make me happy if it was an acknowledged bug and not the intended behavior

[empty dune]

it was yeah, wait ill dig it up

[lofty lark]

The new heavy machine gun and take out Tanks pretty fast on the weakspot.

The Dominator can take them out with 1 mag too on the weakspot

[lofty lark]

I really hope they fix it soon. I love the SPEAR but it is worthless 50% of the time because it does nothing

[empty dune]

the new tier 4 modules gives all support weapons max ammo from just 1 supply box

that will help the spear the most

[lofty lark]

New ship modules? 👀

Lets goooooooooo

[errant raven]

Imagine not 360 no scoping losers

[empty dune]

there's another that increases all fire damage by 50%

[lofty lark]

I love it

[errant raven]

Just watched that animated starship troopers movie

Women, bugs, and explosions, 11/10 movie.

[proud jay]

I just did a diff 4 game, eren is definitely gamer god

Or I’m shit

Or both

Just hit lvl 20 though

[errant raven]

What are you playing

[empty dune]

heckjumpers

[errant raven]

Helldiver

Dont censor that work of art

[lofty lark]

Heavy machine gun + supply box is heaven on Helldive

[errant raven]

Oh yeah man, they added Toph and zuko to fortnite

[empty dune]

lmao what

[errant raven]

Nothing like a 12 year old blind girl with a .50 cal sniper rifle

[proud jay]

I’ve noticed that

When in the creek

Leaves were blocking shots

[errant raven]

That's a bit ironic

[brittle holly]

Really? I found it extremely underpowered

[lofty lark]

The new heavy one???

[brittle holly]

Yeah

[errant raven]

Sickles are made to cut through grass and shit

[lofty lark]

It destroys everything :o

[brittle holly]

I didn’t have that experience

I just saw it run out of ammo before it could kill anything with medium armor

Or maybe killed one

[lofty lark]

Hulks? Dead. Tanks? Tanked. Cannon Turrets? Cannoned. Devastators? Devastated.

Brood Commanders? No head. Chargers? No booty. Hive Guardians? Entombed. Bile Spewers? Fucking gutted like the spitting bastards they are.

[brittle holly]

Autocannon still king imo

[lofty lark]

It's insane (the MG)

unless they nerfed it in the last week

[errant raven]

No head?

https://tenor.com/view/anger-angry-break-gif-19098093

[brittle holly]

MG or HMG?

[lofty lark]

The new heavy one

[empty dune]

i sentence the charger to TWO legs

[lofty lark]

MG-201 I think it's called?

The one they released with the Quasar

[brittle holly]

Yeah that one

[lofty lark]

Yeah it's freaking goated

[brittle holly]

Maybe I can’t aim

[lofty lark]

It's recoil is insane

[brittle holly]

I tried it twice, it had 2 clips and ran out of ammo before I could kill much with it

Autocannon and its backpack can last me more than one reapply cooldown

[lofty lark]

I always drop the fire rate to 450 or whatever the lowest is

[brittle holly]

Ah

Maybe that’s the issue

[lofty lark]

Yeee it kicks crazy on the default 750

and I run the recoil reduction armor too :p

[brittle holly]

That’s prly why you enjoyed it more lol

I’m on heavy armor always

[proud jay]

I love it when people play on max volume with open mic

[empty dune]

i run light armor with the medic passive

[brittle holly]

Press Escape and mute

[lofty lark]

I swap from the 450 to 750rpm when I'm dealing with Stalkers or Spewers tho. I hate them and will spare no ammo to turn them to swiss cheese

[lofty lark]

I also run supply pack. 1 supply from that refills the MG's reserves completely

[empty dune]

stalkers are not that bulky though, just shoot the head

[lofty lark]

I do >:)

at precisely 750 rounds per minute

[brittle holly]

Mmm, I still prefer autocannon tbh. It can’t even take on a Hulk from the front but it takes like 1.5 clips I think

Maybe 2.5 😅

[empty dune]

i like the autocannon purely because its a sniper gun that fires grenades lmao

i can take out bot factories from across the map with it

[lofty lark]

Autocannon should definitely be able to shoot the face of hulks that's crazy if it cant because the new MG-201 can

[brittle holly]

Yeah, well they had to make it do something better than the other guns ig

[empty dune]

it can, problem is the autocannon range falloff is bad so you mostly hit the not weak spot around the head and it ricochets

[lofty lark]

ah

[brittle holly]

That too

And like who has time to get up close with a Hulk lol

[empty dune]

not me

[brittle holly]

Those fuckers are pretty fast when they get going

[empty dune]

i like my characters in one piece

eren has been gone a suspicious amount of time

i think the bots got him 😔

[brittle holly]

Also, taking out shrieker nests and gunship facilities is brutal

[empty dune]

oh yeah those need the hellbombs

nothing else works

[brittle holly]

I’ve seen people use quasar I think

[lofty lark]

for the gunship facility you mean?

[empty dune]

yee

[lofty lark]

Because shrieker nests can be dropped by support weapons

[brittle holly]

But problem is you get close enough, you’re toast

They “nerfed” their spawn rate but 4 come out at a time lol

[lofty lark]

I'd be surprised if Orbital Laser or Orbital Railcannon doesn't work on those facilities

and 500kg I guess

[empty dune]

it doesnt, one dude tested it

[lofty lark]

wild

All 3?

[empty dune]

only hellbombs

[lofty lark]

crazy

[empty dune]

at once, multiple times

with the infinite strategem glitch

[brittle holly]

Yeah even shrieker nests barely get taken out by support

Problem I have is laser ignores aerial targets

Mostly anyways

So if there’s 4 gunships in the air, it doesn’t give a f

[empty dune]

what about the normal laser cannon? it has a decent range, can you snipe shrieker nests with it?

[lofty lark]

MG-201 goes brrrrrrrrr praise the engineers of Super Earth

[proud jay]

Why are helldivers so flammable

[brittle holly]

Maybe I need to try it again with custom fire rate

[lofty lark]

Autocannon takes like, 15 shots I think?

[brittle holly]

Cause of that patch

[empty dune]

something something made of carbon

[lofty lark]

lowest fire rate + supply pack + recoil armor = a heckton of democracy

[brittle holly]

They increased fire damage taken by 50% on tick a couple of weeks back

[lofty lark]

preach

[brittle holly]

How’s your survivability in that armor?

[lofty lark]

0 deaths on Helldive survivable 😛

[brittle holly]

I guess if you can kill everything fast enough you’re fine lol

[lofty lark]

It struggles with tons of small enemies though

I run Breaker Spray & Pray against bugs to make up for it

[empty dune]

knew it lol

i was just gonna say that

[brittle holly]

I liked the name, then I read the description

[lofty lark]

But devastators, striders, brood commanders, basically any heavy/elite will drop fast to the MG

and personally those are what always killed me 😅

[proud jay]

It’s so annoying

Sudden firestorm

Die in less than 2 sec

[empty dune]

pop a stim, that will save you

[proud jay]

It didn’t

[lofty lark]

I imagine the low damage is pretty bad against bots. But for scouts and hunters? It's lovely

[empty dune]

huh? it does for me

[brittle holly]

lol yep

[lofty lark]

Dying before you can even dive to the ground 😔

They really should add flame retardant armor tbh. I love the Flamethrower but if you thought hunters were annoying, try flaming hunters that light you on fire when they hit you.

[brittle holly]

That’s a thing ?

[lofty lark]

yup

[brittle holly]

Oh ik what you mean

Yeah I sometimes catch on fire from the small guys getting around the flames

[empty dune]

you can light yourself on fire by diving backwards while using the flamethrower

[brittle holly]

Yep, didn’t use to be a thing

Now you have to stop firing

[lofty lark]

I hate it 😠

[proud jay]

The liberator penetrator not as good as you made it seem

[brittle holly]

I still use it tho cause chargers can still die to it fairly fast

[proud jay]

Or sickle is op

[brittle holly]

For what?

[proud jay]

Bots

[lofty lark]

Whenever i run the flamethrower I burn through all the reinforcements

[brittle holly]

Keep it on burst and click fast

[proud jay]

Right

[lofty lark]

Sickle on Bots is

[proud jay]

Forgot burst was a thing

[empty dune]

any of you tried the liberator explosive? i never hear anything about that one

[brittle holly]

Auto is not worth it

[lofty lark]

Eh

[brittle holly]

It burns through ammo too fast

[brittle holly]

It doesn’t have medium armor penetration I think

[proud jay]

All right I’ll do another quickplay with it

[brittle holly]

Idk I haven’t unlocked it yet ^

[lofty lark]

I've used it, it's okay. I much prefer the Dominator. Pretty similar but has medium armor pen

[empty dune]

i unlocked it, just never felt like playing it

[proud jay]

I wish more people used voice chat

[lofty lark]

It was called Liberator Concussive for a while and all it really did was stagger enemies lol

[brittle holly]

I noticed that if you use it, they might eventually start talking lol

[brittle holly]

Oof

[empty dune]

@lofty lark do you have the deluxe edition only gun?

[lofty lark]

No

[empty dune]

its so bad 😂

[lofty lark]

Imagine dumping almost a full mag to kill a lil warrior

[empty dune]

imagine dumping a full mag to kill a hunter

thats the deluxe exclusive gun

[lofty lark]

If it was top tier people would be ranting about P2W

[empty dune]

yeah, its kinda sad it got shafted like that

game needs more smgs

[brittle holly]

Btw, I mainly use the penetrator against the smaller guys and such. For everything else, there’s Mastercard the autocannon

[lofty lark]

100% agree

[brittle holly]

Kinda works against medium targets up close tho

[summer cedar]

Can't you sidestep while using the flamethrower?

[lofty lark]

like walk sideways? Yeah. Like a dodge? Not afaik

[brittle holly]

I didn’t know sidestep was a thing?

[lofty lark]

yeah i'm not sure what they mean by that either

[brittle holly]

Also apparently you can swap shoulders with Mouse4, but I haven’t tried it

[summer cedar]

So potentially, you could sidestep while firing and then dodge backwards to avoid the backfire?

Of course, you might just dodge backwards into a grenade, but that's fine.

🔥

[brittle holly]

Dodging backwards also tends to make you catch on fire

And last time I dodged backwards there was a fire tornado behind me that I landed in lol

Let’s just say there’s no eye of the storm in those

[empty dune]

i present to you..... Le Gorbagé

lmao

[lofty lark]

is there a new orbital module too?

[empty dune]

yee

[summer cedar]

I think at this point, C++ has been banished by Hell Divers for the foreseeable future.

[empty dune]

reduces spread of orbital barrages

[lofty lark]

That feels, odd.

[empty dune]

tier 4 modules are a little underwhelming tbh

except for the support weapon resupply one

that one is fantastic

[lofty lark]

Atmospheric Monitoring – Orbital Cannons:
200 Common, 150 Rare, 15 Super Rare, 25,000 Req. Slips
Orbital HE Barrage Stratagems have 15% reduced spread.
Affects the Orbital 380mm and 120mm HE Barrages.

200 common

I have more super than I do common

[empty dune]

and so the grind begins again

[lofty lark]

The 380mm and 120mm are supposed to be wide area orbitals so I'm confused as to why they are reducing the area of them as an "upgrade"

[summer cedar]

raindust, you must've unlocked all the difficulties by now, yes?

[empty dune]

yee

i was effectively maxxed

except for levels, looking at you dieter

no, im blaming him for nit picking about me not being max level 😔

[summer cedar]

I think they're both jealous of Eren.

[empty dune]

eren is god

[proud jay]

Meh

[empty dune]

[brittle holly]

I haven’t tried recoil armor but this gun fucking sucks otherwise

[empty dune]

max level now is 150, i dont play that much XD

[lofty lark]

Certainly you aren't referring to the MG-201 😅

[brittle holly]

Yeah

Garbage I couldn’t even kill a regular devastator in prone lol

Died to hulk instantly

[lofty lark]

[brittle holly]

But hey at least I learned how to resupply myself with the tac pack lol

[summer cedar]

Google says the stun grenade seems to be particularly effective against hulks, right now.

[lofty lark]

You're making me a little worried that it got shadow nerfed or some shit 😅

[brittle holly]

Forcing you to reload the full mag is bs

With autocannon if you time it right you can reload a half clip

[lofty lark]

It's a belt fed, why can't we just attach another belt to it 😔 why do we have to throw the old one out

[brittle holly]

Idk

Would take less time than that 4s reload lol

[lofty lark]

Yeah that's one of the big downsides to it lol

[brittle holly]

Also you’re using 2 strats for 1 gun basically

[lofty lark]

yeah

All I need >:)

Supply pack gives stims and grenades too tho

MG-201, Supply Pack, Orbital Gatling, Orbital Laser is usually my default strat setup for Bugs

Orbital Gatling + Orbital Smoke for bots

Incendiary grenades + breaker S&P handles trash mobs on bugs for me.
Regular frag + Dominator handles them on bots

[summer cedar]

296,000 dps at 0.09 cast rate in PoE. 😄

I still have to allocate power charges properly, but I hope I can cross 300k soon.

[summer cedar]

I think I played that once.

[fast seal]

helldivers 2 anyone??

steam

[summer cedar]

Scroll up.

The chat's literally filled with HD 2 since morning or so.

[brittle holly]

Smoke eh? I like the big booms so I nvr tried it

[lofty lark]

It's great for "oh shit we're surrounded and need an out" moments. Pop the smoke, break line of sight, and you and your team are golden

[brittle holly]

yeah, I've often considered it

[lofty lark]

Highly recommend trying it. Usually all the randos I get are running orbital lasers, clusters, 500kg, etc.,

I only prefer the orbital smoke because I have the 3 orbital upgrades and none for eagle

[soft night]

[summer cedar]

That's red pandas in a nutshell.

[broken sigil]

Welp the cameras on my new phone are crazy good

[summer cedar]

What phone is it?

[broken sigil]

Xiaomi 14 ultra

[summer cedar]

Oh yeah! 🙂

I purchased a OnePlus Nord CE 3 recently.

The cams on these babies are very, very cool!

[broken sigil]

Yeah I didn't think phone cameras could be this good

Mobile photography has become pretty impressive

The 14 ultra has a mechanical variable aperture as well

[summer cedar]

They pack on a whole ton of lenses in there.
I think they realised that the human race is primarily vain. 😄

[summer cedar]

That's A LOT of camera.

👀

[broken sigil]

Yeah it's packed 😅

[summer cedar]

There's a selfie camera too. I like gsmarena for all the specs. 😄

You have two more camera than I do.

✊

[broken sigil]

It's basically selfie, ultra wide, wide, 3.2x, 5x

[summer cedar]

Yep, it's feature packed. Good stuff.

I wonder how many cameras Elon will pack into the brain chip.

How else will be snap pictures of people without their consent rapidly?

[brittle holly]

lol. Eagle was the first I got, so I can drop 1Ton

[broken sigil]

😂

[brittle holly]

Hehe good ad https://youtube.com/shorts/xSEGfPI9EqM?si=k1GwxoP7YqNFuVF4

[errant raven]

Its amusing that flaming hot cheetos says it's made with real cheese but cheese isnt in it

[lofty lark]

[errant raven]

No sir

Theres no capsaicin extract, pepper or anything related to capsaicin on the ingredients list either

Milk

And whey

The packaging I have doesnt mention cheddar at all

Why would flaming hot cheetos have cheddar cheese anyways

Isnt it just chili powder on a corn puff

"Chilli powder" because it doesn't have anything chili related on the packaging either

[lofty lark]

Deep fried corn meal sprayed with a melted "cheese seasoning"

the "puffs" are baked

[errant raven]

Regular cheetos taste like shit

So salty

[lofty lark]

They aren't much better fresh fwiw

I don't know what they use specifically for the "hot" part of flamin hot. Thankfully where I worked we didn't produce those. Allegedly the smell/air by the processing lines was horrendous to breathe.

[errant raven]

The ingredients list on the bag does not look like the ingredients list on the website

[lofty lark]

That's Frito-Lay quality for ya

[errant raven]

Even website doesnt specify what the pepper stuff is

[lofty lark]

My guess is the onion powder, garlic powder, and the following 3 things: Sodium Diacetate, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate since they aren't ingredients for regular cheetos

[errant raven]

Nah Google says those 3 things are just msg replacements

[lofty lark]

they have msg tho

[errant raven]

Onion and garlic powder isnt spicy

[lofty lark]

garlic absolutely can be spicy in high quantity

[errant raven]

Tbf neither are the flaming hot chips themselves

[rare mauve]

I wonder if it is doing fake blur/bokeh? Only real non solvable problem by now with phone cameras... The sensors are small, can't make bokeh

it looks quite good, either real or very convincing

[broken sigil]

This phone uses pretty large sensors (for a phone), main one is LYT-900 (1 inch), which is one of the largest you can get in a phone right now
I'm pretty sure only times it (significantly or at all) adds artificial bokeh is in portrait mode, which I haven't used besides just testing it

It does look pretty real, and can directly control the bokeh with the variable aperture (goes from f/1.63 to f/4.0) so it makes me believe it's either completely or mostly real
And I haven't seen that typical edge detection artifacts you usually see with artificial bokeh

[rare mauve]

neat

[broken sigil]

It really makes me wanna go out and just take pictures of random things 😆

[rare mauve]

i am/was a big photo junkie before i had kids. have a bunch of stuff. it's fun

[broken sigil]

I love photography but also don't like carrying around a chonky camera with me which is why I've stuck with mobile photography 😅

and this thing I feel like gets really close to a dedicated digital camera

[rare mauve]

i loved carrying the chonkers around. i got into large format for a little while, film. beautiful stuff

takes some level of brain damage to want to do this though

[broken sigil]

oh damn lol

[broken sigil]

reminds me of this 😅
Watched it recently https://youtu.be/-4uzyhbDFas

[rare mauve]

madlads

it's really really cool with bellows cams how you can tilt shift it every which way. angle the plane of focus, take a photo of a building that naturally looks | | instead of / \

[broken sigil]

yeah

[cursive crypt]

I will never understand ppl who leave the default win app store icon on their taskbar.

oh, spring sale

[shy veldt]

Yall ever go through an application process, nail the 1st and 2nd rounds; just to inquire from the top dev exactly how they managed to fuck up a game so bad? Like, not at all taking any offer for anything, just to satisfy your answers as a player of the game?

I have, it's entertaining lol

[errant raven]

@broken sigil I owned terraria for like 8 years, bought it back when it was like between 2-5$. Only played 10 or so minutes of it. Lol

Same for like 3/4th the games I bought on steam

[broken sigil]

lol

What the fuck happened to gamefly?

Just remembered it thanks to google autocorrect trying to correct gamer

[cursive crypt]

What fly?

[errant raven]

Gamefly

Netflix for video games

Rent a game for as long as you like, return it, rent another

[cursive crypt]

Ah, never heard of it. Aint that now monopoly, whatever-pass

[errant raven]

They stopped advertising

Website still exists

[summer cedar]

Okay, I want Fallout TV series season 2.

I hope they got renewed for it.

[errant raven]

Did the full first season already come out

[summer cedar]

Yeah. On Amazon Prime.

It was pretty good, except for the directiorial cuts that I am not a fan of.

[cursive crypt]

Cuts?

If it is all out, I will consider it soon.

[proud jay]

so like a library?

not like netflix at all

[errant raven]

It's not a physical place you go to

Its subscription website thing

[proud jay]

a library has digital services too though

but you say you only rent one at a time

[errant raven]

Yeah

[proud jay]

idk about you, but I never returned a movie to netflix

it's all just there

so it's like blockbuster

[cursive crypt]

Need special licensing 🤔

[errant raven]

Well I would say redbox instead of netflix but idk if redbox was ever a thing in europe

[cursive crypt]

Not for me.

[proud jay]

it's like old netflix

when they used to mail you dvds

[unreal ether]

Or blockbuster

[proud jay]

that's what I said

[proud jay]

right here

[unreal ether]

So you did

I should probably scroll up sometimes

[errant raven]

Blockbuster used to be fun

Nothing like renting a fucked up disc because employees couldn't be fucked to check their conditions

[proud jay]

idk

I only rented like 2 discs in my life I think

[soft night]

bootleg?

[proud jay]

and loaned a few from the library

[errant raven]

We rented movies every week for family night

[summer cedar]

Not entire pieces of the episodes.
I was referring to the style of directing that I am not a fan of.

[soft night]

some say you can loan ambulances to enjoy movies on your head with injector

[cursive crypt]

wdym

[errant raven]

Family hasn't rented a movie to watch together since twilight new moon, breaking dawn pt 1&2 came out

[summer cedar]

The director covers multiple perspectives through different characters, telling a story from multiple points of view. It works great in novels, but it's difficult to pull off in movies without being either jarring or just poorly done. It was okay in the first episode of the series, but at least to me, it's annoying in the remaining episodes.

[cursive crypt]

Hmm... ok. Gotta see it.

[errant raven]

How many episodes are there

[summer cedar]

8 in Season 1.
