So dumb man

And they are NOT just products of propaganda

But also they’re completely elite soldiers
In a world where everyone is elite, no one is

They just get basic training and then the nuclear codes

Legit the tutorial is all the training they get
And the stat screen at the beginning of that shows that most of them arent well trained
Just enthusastic to do the job

Ah yes, cloth, the most protective gear
summer mural
i just think of them as elite infantry , like odst
but not as valuable as spartans
kinda like scions but not space marines
tough haven
Scions arent just dropped in by the wave
summer mural
i think super earth just has bad strategy
and its less to do with their tactical use of helldivers as expendable soldiers
fallow cargo
kinda like scions but not space marines
Scions guard inquisitors and high lord's of terra buddy
tough haven
The difference between scions and helldivers is that scions are heavily trained since childhood, helldivers are literally any old conscript that is fanatical enough, then we throw them through a half assed training course and freeze them

there are 0 democracies in space

its because they are literally from a POV thats brainwashed and intentionally ignorant

this is the equivalent of people saying that the ku klux klan are good people

Nah HD2 is fun as fuck

Fun being a space nazi

Just lets not delude ourselves

the HD2 fandom is literally filled with all kinds of fascists

The satire is golden
just most people dont get it
which makes it even funnier

people taking media so seriously is crazy to me, I just treat it as entertainment and move on

Reminds me so much of Starship troopers
Tbh the entire reason it exists is due to Starship Troopers

I had a feeling

another one of my favs is from the shipmaster confirming Super Earth endorses AI art

thats the the shipmaster

But basically she says she cant believe "back in the day" artists were allowed to own their own artistic creations. Now the government takes then scans and duplicates them over and over again which makes it "better" for widespread media and propaganda use.

Speaking of
read the super-earth wikipage
its legit like
one of the most dystopian/depressing sci-fi human factions ive seen
crisp heath
All I really gather is where like not doing good , were using older and older weapons idk could be wrong
crisp heath
Ahh
storm jungle
https://helldivers.fandom.com/wiki/Federation_of_Super_Earth
Again read this page
then go and read the Automaton, Illuminate and Terminid pages
crisp heath
Doin now
storm jungle
their backstories are all very tragic
and basically TLDR: Everything is super earth's fault
crisp heath
I may pace it out over a few days but I shall read it
storm jungle
Yeah the lore is a lot but the premise is simple
crisp heath
Easier for me to grasp stuff if I do this
vagrant fox
HD1 vs HD2 squids are a wild time, I'm a big fan
storm jungle

they were basically a peaceful faction that were forced near extinction due to having WMDs (this is an iraq war reference lol) now they are completely unhinged cthulu cultists out for vengeance
their backstory is prob my fav

YEP
They were literally like Protoss/Eldar
crisp heath
I do not blame em tbh
storm jungle
they lierally even observed earth during the 21st century
people speaking against not wanting to invade Illuminate space were also publicly executed
near wasp
The bugs were even friendly too until we started farming them
storm jungle

its all super-earth's fault, now all 3 enemy factions are entirely unhinged killers
crisp heath
So we go psych! slap their hand away n go we're actually gonna attack ya bozo
storm jungle
yeah basically lol
they outright denied a peace deal and just attacked them
then basically gave them the WW2 treatment
evict them for their empire, steal their tech, and exile them to die out in the galactic void

They are back for round two and this time they are going to hit you in the head with a laser cannon
storm jungle
you can see why they have replaced their base troops with brainwashed (ok not like theres much to really go through in their heads) super earth citizens
storm jungle
What about cyborgs
seperatists that didnt want to be tied to super-earth
super earth launched a false flag attack on its own embassy
queen laurel
seperatists that didnt want to be tied to super-earth
fair
storm jungle
and they used it as a reason to declare war on the cyborgs
crisp heath
Is it true the cyborgs are sometimes HD
near wasp
They've been enslaved for the the last 100 years
near wasp
When cyberstan got retaken they were freed now we have no clue what's going on
queen laurel
seperatists that didnt want to be tied to super-earth
wait so there was a time where terminids weren't gonna tear me apart if I accidentally stumbled into them
crisp heath
I still haven't faced the bots
storm jungle
Is it true the cyborgs are sometimes HD
Yeah sometimes, but we dont know the real deal with the automatons in HD2 aside from them being the "children" of the cyborgs
crisp heath
I'm learning the game w terminids first
storm jungle

Just docile bugs
they were gonna be wholly exterminated
then super-urf realised they produce oil
so they were rounded up to be slaughtered en-masse like cows
and also extremely forcefully mutated to produce more oil
queen laurel
then super-urf realised they produce oil
and now they evolved to become literal weapons
storm jungle
this has made them violent and extremely dangerous
and transformed into what they are in HD2 between games
crisp heath
I hear the bots are a nightmare especially on high difficulty it's kinda like havoc gunner experience from what I was told
storm jungle
Yeah basically
Automatons are a proper standing army
they got tanks
aircraft
anti-air
mortars
etc
near wasp
I dropped on the creek
queen laurel
Automatons are a proper standing army
so there was a time I could have literally just gotten close to the insects no problem and i wouldn't be disemboweled

Read their wikipage
its really funny
theres entries like uh
"The super-urf scientists decided we cannot wholly exterminate the terminids, thats inhumane!"
literally just doing it for harvesting oil
vagrant fox
Super Earth is so comedically evil it's just 👌
storm jungle
Yeah its one of my fav parts of the setting
near wasp
Then we liberated the planet and I was shipped off onto the next front. I'll never forget the trees, how they screamed with binaric chatter. How those wire backs taunted us
crisp heath
I'm glad I never had to play during malevelone creek lmao
queen laurel
I think I'm gonna be honest they have done such permanent damage to the illuminate and terminids that they can no longer be peaceful

I'm glad I never had to play during malevelone creek lmao
There are worse fronts now

yeah super earth pushed the illuminates into being actual psychopaths
valid response but they're still insane
storm jungle
Yeah like
the equilavent is basically Tau turning from what they are now to being like Dark Eldar
its so fucking funny
summer mural
you basically compare it to earth from starship troopers pretty much, who are also comically evil and torturing the bugs and things
storm jungle

queen laurel
fuck you mean it's morally good to make them into a farm
surreal nest
and it all happened because they excitedly offered a peace treaty to another advanced society lmfao
storm jungle
Lmfao yeah
vagrant fox
fuck you mean it's morally good to make them into a farm
It is 🙂
crisp heath
That's so grim 💀
near wasp
The creek is hardly even a noteworthy battle compared to the fights we've been in now. Hellfire is bad, the fight for super earth was extremely brutal. When the illuminate attacked one of the first warzones had causalities that dwarfed the creek by like ten times
crisp heath
And it's also really realistic
storm jungle
That's so grim 💀
Its one of the most fucked up parts of the lore under all the comedy
like, the terminids you rae fighting now?
they are all the results of super-earth experimentation
summer mural
starship troopers was so goated, how could anything be funnier than neil patrick harris in a gestapo outfit explaining how to kill bugs
storm jungle
and the entire reason they are so varied and advanced as well as have become a galactic plague
literally what super-urf was fearing
crisp heath
IS THIS WHY THEY ARE MUTATING
crisp heath
OMG
near wasp
Also the pesticide we tried to use
near wasp
That's on me
vagrant fox
Whatever keeps the war economy going is morally good don't worry about it
storm jungle
also another thing is super-earth sometimes purposefully releases them on colonies or their own planets to wage campaigns for more oil, but right now thats kinda been on the backfoot due to the nids having grown to a proper threat

jesus christ

No like
they were literally on 1 planet
they were just a docile bug species
they werent even spreadng lol
crisp heath
SO WE CAUSED THIS

So them evolving the spore cloud traversal

Shake my damn head 😭

helldiver's universe would probably be an absurdly peaceful utopia without super earth

SO WE CAUSED THIS
back when HD2 came out last year the very first conflicts were the Automatons rising up to take back Cyberstan for freedom of their people / Terminids were just breaking out of their farms

its also what makes the gameplay hilarious
queen laurel
humans suck
We are species so good at violence we have been killing each other for a long time

you literally will always somehow die on the mission
and be replaced by another diver
thats how worthless Helldivers are
its great
crisp heath
I liked how they did that
storm jungle
same its great
near wasp
I mean they've been stockpiling helldiver's for a hundred years
storm jungle
it is but its done in a 40k manner
crisp heath
The rejects don't fail
storm jungle
we do also use Rejects endlessly
but like
super-destroyers are FILLED

It's a great one

storm jungle
Yeah that
crisp heath
I like how we come out of stasis when we load in the game like there's many of us who have just been spent
storm jungle
Yep, you are basically always technically a new diver
its why uh
when you choose your voice
you can just set it to "randomize"
every time you die then respawn
vagrant fox
It'd be a little expensive but it'd be neat if they added a few more voices to sell it a bit more
storm jungle
Yeah same
surreal nest
The rejects don't fail
I like the whole "we are the special rejects" but there is an absurd amount of darktide players that havent like clicked that in their brain
storm jungle
Divers got like 1h of voicelines but you hear like the same 5 shit
queen laurel
Yep, you are basically always technically a new diver
So not only did they put them in concentration camps to be farmed they also called them hitler bugs?
storm jungle
correct
vagrant fox
yes
queen laurel

Also from what I remember the Illuminate in HD1 were straight up peaceful and wanted to share their technology with Super Earth freely

No yeah they were
vagrant fox
yea
storm jungle
its on the HD1 wiki section
rocky gale
Super Earth just went Nuh uh
crisp heath
Wtf super earth
vagrant fox
They came with entirely peaceful intentions so Super Earth went to war
storm jungle
Super-earth probably does not pass like 1 out of 13 on the fascism scale
rocky gale
And killed them to try and steal it
crisp heath
Should be called really average earth
storm jungle
the only thing they dont pass is the sexism, because they need all the bodies they can get
they even do like
fucking consumerism
and mega-capitalism
vagrant fox
I'm a big fan of how in the city missions adverts are still playing alongside the warning screens
storm jungle

near wasp
That's super capitalism
crisp heath
That's like how in starship troopers to become a citizen you have to serve iirc
near wasp
so like if you are a lower class
Just become a hell diver and you can get a C-01 permit
storm jungle
the city maps are great for that, theres also like cameras everywhere
queen laurel
so like if you are a lower class
storm jungle
even internet access is entirely monitored
kids playparks got super-destroyers as swingy toys as well you can ride on
so that they can brainwash kids to be helldivers from an early age

Propaganda works
But it's the way that they ingrained the propaganda to you they make you sure that the moment you breathe you see it
storm jungle
its basically a massive mix of like
queen laurel
They fundamentally make sure a human is only capable of thinking what they are wanted to think
storm jungle
Nazi germany, soviet/current era US and a lot of China
since the game references stuff like the Patriot Act too

Treat the Helldivers as a casual game, because the deeper you want to connect to the "community", the worse it gets, just like 40K or any other satire tropes.

It's not very difficult to avoid teamkilling but man people teamkill a lot

Half the time the team killing is funny the other half is so fucking annoying
I fucked up terminal one too many times and got my skull ventilated with a revolver
vagrant fox
It can be funny, sometimes, but the last few days it's just been someone calling artillery or napalm directly ontop of me for no good reason
vagrant fox
maybe it's the creek cape I wear
storm jungle
the best part is which I love the devs for is it also makes lore sense
almost 95% of the helldiver corps is dumbass teenagers
so them making accidents and killing each other is legit so fucking funny
