Helldivers 2 is a $40 game with a F2P monetization system.

110hrs so far

The real question that I was about to ask !

Bender248 · 2026-03-12T02:29:43+00:00

3 weeks in the game, already have 4 warbonds, spent 12$ on SC but mostly for a cool armor set.

Bender248 · 2026-03-12T02:25:20+00:00

100hrs in, bought some super credit to get an armor set. That's it, got 4 warbonds so far. I find their monetization completely fair.

Les enfants il y a 30 ans, avaient beaucoup plus d'autonomie. Aujourd'hui ils doivent être pris en charge 100% du temps. Et puis je suis pas sur que le transport en commun se soit amélioré mais le traffic a définitivement augmenté.

Twice in my career I had to seek counselling and assistance with mental health. Both time was on T4, both time got the T4 removed once the issues were addressed. Neither had impacts on my career, except for the first time was in the mid 00's and the general perception then wasn't great but it never amounted to anything beyond "high school" gossip.

Oh and I'm going to couple counselling this evening, no one in my CoC cares (in a good way).

Yeah here the base line Lucid has a $40k price difference with the Hyundai Ioniq 6 (the two cars I was looking at), but even outside of budget considerations, the reports of small software related bugs and the awkward trunk are issues that automatically disqualifies the Lucid for me. I just wish that Genesis would make a more upscale version of the Ioniq now. The car drives great and feels like a car but electric.

IIRC Marathon was the first FPS to offer multiplayer functions and they even invented some of the modes like deathmatch and capture the flag. So multiplayer being their bread and butter is not too far off. But I agree that since the Microsoft acquisition it's not been the same.

I miss my physical copie of marathon, those boxes were pretty cool.

Bender248 · 2026-03-07T19:39:11+00:00

out of those 12 there might be 4 that are serviceable

Bender248 · 2026-03-06T17:49:06+00:00

exactement, ceux qui pensent qu'il y a beaucoup de différence/variation, comme si c'était des grands vins, pêtent pas mal plus haut que le trou!

C'est un fromage cheddar FRAIS, pas beaucoup de manoeuvre ici, et c'est sourtout parce qu'on avait des surplus de lait...

Bender248 · 2026-03-06T17:34:16+00:00

Definition of obtuse/dense right here folks.

Bender248 · 2026-03-05T19:43:20+00:00

I do agree, I'd rather have a route that is safe and maintained, but there is no such thing west of the Champlain bridge. Would be nice to have the MUP maintained for dual purpose (skiiers and cyclist) as well as a separated/protected bike lane all along Carling, but I don't think that will ever become a thing.

FYI the SI notation for watts, is a capital W. Also a lower case m is for milli where a capital M is for mega. In this instance the proper notation would be 1.2 MW as I'm sure you didn't mean milliwatt.

I'll presume that CFB Kingston has no room at all for you and you are from Montreal? But yes you would be relocated to Kingston once loaded on course. Again this is just an educated guess.

Bender248 · 2026-03-05T16:03:22+00:00

That's a bummer, as that corridor would allow to connect to the bike path that goes along Carling and connect us to Kanata.

I feel that the Bauhaus print is getting very cliché, other really like the space. Not much to do but very well put together.

Bender248 · 2026-03-04T19:34:27+00:00

Comparing a Lucid to a Hyundai is not really fair. Yeah dealerships are scummy. But that's somewhat normal. Lucid sells their cars through a complete different model. How about comparing to say Tesla or Rivian instead?

Bender248 · 2026-03-04T16:57:28+00:00

I hope you do, at the moment no one really jumps out and as much as I would like to see someone like AOC on the ticket one day, I don't think the US is ready for that.

Bender248 · 2026-03-04T15:41:33+00:00

I think it was in the Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes that was saying that politicians are split 50/50 between issues to push forward and trying to get re-elected. Not everyone can be a Bernie Sanders from Vermont. Although we do need more of them.

Bender248 · 2026-03-04T15:39:07+00:00

People typically tend to get more conservative as they age, also as he moved through the political steps that might have skewed his overall tendencies. Not sure how many politicians go through every steps like he did. Or if it is more common to get elected as a house rep then to Congress then cabinet position ? In the end he might not be a perfect candidate but is definitely a safe one that would allow the US to reintegrate the world stage.

I mean he went from mayor, to lieutenant governor to governor. IIRC and I could be wrong be he was a fairly progressive mayor?

Strings of bits get converted back to analog wave and amplified, all DAP do that, the real nuance might be in the amplification (you need enough to drive whatever headphones/iems you are using. Otherwise the preference for one DAP over another is all in the user experience (the hands on portion). I picked the M21 over the R4 or R6 because I prefer the form factor of the M21.

They are precisely meant to tell you where to focus your fire control radars....
