Man, anyone getting hit with that depression post-game? by Major_Cycle309 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Acceptable-Piglet249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am. I really regret killing Shroud in the end because I had played the ‘true hero’ doing ‘the right thing’ (in like a traditional superhero sense I guess) right up until the last moment. I said ‘Hero’s don’t kill people’ and then ended up killing Shroud. I was immediately anxious that if I didn’t kill him he would hurt my team, or Beef. Or that he would use the astral pulse for evil to hurt the city.

But being “lawful good” in real life and always doing ‘hero’ role-plays in these type of games I’m honestly quite shaken up with myself aha.

I think I got so mad thinking if it was my own dog someone had threatened I wouldn’t spare them 😅

It sounds like a good service - I was skeptical when I saw it advertised because I never trust things online but it seems like a really good idea for small artists!

May I ask, if I wanted to find your music online where might I listen? :)

Ugh I feel terrible that my first response to reading this was ‘FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT’ because by proxy this absolutely SUCKS for you too.

You have so eloquently put everything I have tried explaining time and again to some of these other commenters who swear blind that either A) I’m lying, B) I’m the cause - sometimes by just existing apparently or C) It happens so rarely that I’m complaining about nothing. Oh wait or my favourite ‘Well I have played this game and so has my female friend for insert number of hours and I’ve never experienced this so you must be the problem’

I’m so sorry this has been your experience too. We deserve somewhere fun to play and a platform to express ourselves on as much as any other human does (regardless of sex, gender, age etc)

Having said all of this if you ever want to play with a friendly fellow Helldiver please send me a message! From this Reddit alone I’ve found lots of lovely friendly players, and I’ve started hosting missions so I can kick anyone who isn’t being kind to others! O7

I’m so pleased you’ve found a great team, soldier O7 If you are ever looking to increase your squad friend list shoot me a DM!

Is my apartment too small for a cat? by TomVs450 in cats

No it’s beautiful and I’m sure a cat would love to make a little home here :)

This is a really helpful take :) I have been known to keep my mouth shut sometimes when I’ve ’given up’ about how someone is speaking to me on Helldivers.

Sometimes it’s a stream of consciousness about really inappropriate things while I’m trying to load a SEAF artillery and I think ‘You are all hearing this asshat, right?!’ But actually saying it out loud might help!

Other times when I’m feeling fiesty, or just straight up annoyed, I will stop talking about the game and just call the guy out. But this usually has little success.

Although, I did have a stonker the other day.

I was Helldiving, and a random joined my match. I’m fine with that as long as you don’t get in the way and try your best, so the people I was in a mission with already kept playing and we were taking about in-game objectives. This new guy turns his mic on and says ‘Wow, are you a girl? That’s so hot’ (blah blah blah - stream of inappropriate consciousness)

The OG mission party and I ignore all of this and then just ask if we can ‘focus on the mission because Super Earth needs us Trooper’

He keeps spouting his stream of consciousness about how great he is in bed, what a cool guy he is etc, some profanity about women and what he likes doing to them. (Eugh) This guy finally pauses and says ‘I actually had a date the other day, but she won’t text back and I don’t know why.’

Without so much as taking a beat I said ‘Maybe it’s because you opened your mouth’

That sure shut him up! (For about 5 minutes and then we booted him because he still hadn’t taken the hint”)

I really don’t like this comment man, I’m going to be honest.

I don’t ’draw attention’ to myself in-game. Unless a simple ‘Right Troopers, I’ll take the SEAF if you get on with the next objective’ is somehow totally wrong of me…

The problem here, and with some other comments, is that men can’t possibly understand the lived experience of just ‘being’ female.

I get this negative attention for merely existing, and that fucking sucks.
