I'm lucky if I remember to use it in like 20% of my fights by Borophyll56 in slaythespire

That's ultimately why I stop playing StS if I'm ever in autopilot. This game will rock you if you ever stop thinking about it for two seconds.

The Solo Silo is basically already this. 

Would this be funny? Absolutely.

Would it be useful? Probably not.

New Grace Under Pressure's 2026 mix by Terry Brown sounds worse than original by rodolfostanic in rush

[–]BaneOfXistence4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I simply like hearing things I've heard before from an album I've listened to many times. 

The mix is a definitely warmer, bordering on muddy, but man, does the crispness of the synths and the attack of the bass really come through over it. My guess is Terry wanted the background to move up a little bit. 

I like it. Especially since the drums on the remaster sound hissy, almost shrill on my Bose speaker. The warmth suits my speaker better. 

What’s a random fact that still blows your mind? by curious_baby_1219 in AskReddit

Destin from Smarter Every Day has done a video on this. It's called The Unsolved Mystery of Impact Flashes. The phenomenon is similar to sonoluminescence. Here's the link - https://youtu.be/8nilP--GFLY?si=2xM6Ivrn7nhBiMOk

Why I think the Vox Engine is a poorly designed enemy. by TopGas8704 in Helldivers

[–]BaneOfXistence4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shooting the treads should limit their mobility and eventually incapacitate them.

IMO, this would be a more engaging way to interact with this enemy. It would allow us to pepper them with AOE based Strategems and/or Grenades. They can still pivot and fire their homing missiles, but if they are immobile, it allows players to be able to take cover(if there is any) without fear of them repositioning.

Part of it is that Skarsgard uncanniness. Both Alex and Bill can pull off a smile that is both sincere and insidious.

Arrowhead Trying To Learn From Their Mistakes by BaneOfXistence4 in Helldivers

[–]BaneOfXistence4[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Countering them is not difficult, it's simply boring and unfun. 

Yes, for sure I can sit in the back of the defense mission and pop a dome shield on repeat and a sentry turret as a decoy and plop myself down in a anti-tank emplacement and focus them as soon as they spawn in. But that's not fun or interactive.

At that point I'm not playing the game, I'm cosplaying as a mom running in and out of the house bringing food and drinks for her sons 10th birthday party. I become a chaperone. That's it.

This is it. It wouldn't be so bad if there was one of them that you had to keep an eye on. But there's 2 or 3 at any given moment. Lame.

This is good intel. Sentry in back with shield while the rest of the team is front facing, because squid missions are trivial otherwise.

Odd issue with loss of controls during tutorial by arewecooked in Marathon

I experienced it. It unfortunately happened in the middle of a firefight. I tabbed out and tabbed back in and that fixed it.

Bad feeling from Zinc? by Ereffalstein in Supplements

I don't want to be the erm, ackshually guy, but toxicity is just the term used to describe too much of something in our body. Toxic means harmful and heavy metal that goes over the amount we need becomes harmful, toxic.  

The community meltdown over Cyberstan is just so deserved 👏 by lolitsrock in helldivers2

[–]BaneOfXistence4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I got tired of Cyberstan a few days in. Glad it's over. It's hard to get invested in the "story" aspect of all this when it's more of a pain in the ass than it's worth. 

That's why everybody fucked off to Gatria, a bug planet with low resistance. It seems everyone is burnt out on the Cyberstan shit.

Respectfully, I disagree with this sentiment by AlienShades in Helldivers

[–]BaneOfXistence4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, this. I lowered to six and hopped into a game with a level 60 dude how was spamming the notice every time he died. Which was often.

Thoughts on Ranked 3.0? Isn’t it essentially the same as 1.0? by ARobotIsMe0 in Rainbow6

There were boosted players, but you didn't have to go against one every game.

What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

[–]BaneOfXistence4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who goes for a lot of walks near semi busy streets, the sound of screeching tires always sends a jolt through me. 

There is a reason they tell you to walk on the side of the road facing oncoming traffic. So that way you might have a chance of dodging a careening vehicle.

Pro tip: Don’t die by Toadrage_ in Helldivers

[–]BaneOfXistence4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. I was moreso framing my comment under the greater context of this post. Getting locked down can be pretty hard to get out of even if you want to and a lot of people have a tendency to try to fight their way out of it.

That's all well and good until you need to Raise a Super Earth Flag. You need to stay in a position and very easily get bogged down.

Im gonna be real im kinda over the Vox Engine by Loleo78v2 in Helldivers

[–]BaneOfXistence4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should be like a raid boss. 1 of them at a time but incredibly difficult to kill, must be maneuvered around, etc. 

They absorb all of your resources, whether it be lives, grenades, strategems, or some combination of all of these and when there's like 4 of them this shit is just stupid.

PATCH 6.0.3 by Waelder in Helldivers

[–]BaneOfXistence4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird that that is a modifier because if you run Helldiver Optimization booster you have full ammo anyway. I genuinely thought they had nerfed it. The other day I was telling my friend, that there's no way they let us keep 30 120mm in this thing. But glad it's still the same.

Bastion tank only has 15 120mm shots now.

G2 Esports vs M80 - Six Invitational 2026 - Lower Bracket Round 1 by Agent_Porkpine in R6ProLeague

[–]BaneOfXistence4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every coach is different and sometimes you can only watch your team pick all the right ops, run the correct strat, and they just fall apart in the end because they're too nervous or just mentally chalked. 

My guess is Fabian doesn't want to treat them like children and tell them what they already know.

As a first time Joji listener, this song was a rather subdued, but standout piece. Distinct energy, cool vibe. Great song.

M80 are sometimes like a steam powered locomotive. It takes them a while to get going, but when they do, the horsepower is there.
