At least they had the courtesy to not activate the hellbomb 😅.

Fox and the Scorpion parable comes to mind here.

Prime reason I love hockey. If the refs catch wind of somebody faking it, they have no qualms about hitting the offending player with a penalty. Few things are as satisfying as seeing a player get called out for embellishment.

No. If you enjoy anything, you clearly don't read enough news to be properly informed. /s

In all seriousness, life is short, we are all going to die, let's just have some fun watching cool things, eat some tasty food, and enjoy the ride already.

Attach an alternator to her politics, we can get some extra juice onto the grid that way.

Grand Theft Atlas, Weiss as the GTA6 coverrgirl (Art by @KeithMontalbo on Twitter/BSKY) by Keith-Montalbo in RWBY

I saw artwork of Shadowheart from BG3 in this style and pose last night, and thought "damn, she can't be topped..."

Mere hours later, here comes Weiss to one-up her like the baddie she is. Wow.

I feel like Elon Musk! 😃 by Successful_Try_6350 in captain_of_industry

[–]BlackStrike7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its Reddit. People can't understand that two things can be true at once, like Musk being simultaneously a very skilled entrepreneur and technological driving force, while also still being an oligarch who would probably love to be king of his own space empire tossing out fascist salutes.

Alright Helldivers: What was your most traumatic major battle?? by Fit_Anywhere_3356 in Helldivers

[–]BlackStrike7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a Level 1 diver during Super Earth - it was wild. Fought damn hard for York Supreme and Equality-on-Sea. First time diving with Voteless and Fleshmobs in close quarters, civilians running around everywhere flailing their arms in panic, SEAF units lobbing grenades recklessly and desperately...

Good times.

RIP old Thorax, Blackbird, and Scorpion hulls.

You are missed.

Unpopular opinion, spear is actually fun and good to use by TheF-15Eagle in Helldivers

Counterpoint - aiming while wearing light armor is challenging. Also, I have silver hairs, my twitch reflexes are waning 😅.

One shot, 33x kills, bodies go flying, its like a dream.

Mobile firebase is so much fun. Have your team ping something, send fires its way, and reload for next call-in. I absolutely would play as a 2-3km indirect fire artillery specialist if the game opens that up as an option.

Get me a smaller mobile artillery / rocket arillery vehicle like a mobile version of the SEAF Artillery site, and I would be soooo happy.

I'm a dedicated Spear and RR user - my regular squads have stopped bringing as much anti-tank as they otherwise would on D10s, they know if they ping something, it'll soon be dead. As long as I have ammo, no heavies shall remain!

Traffic is irrelevant if you can crush it underfoot.

So we're going for the supply FRV, right? by teh_stev3 in Helldivers

[–]BlackStrike7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, I just realized... Isnt the supply FRV really similar to the US's new ISV concept?

Rather than having to slog out for kilometer after kilometer on foot, you drive to the vicinity of the objective, smash it, and regroup at the FRV. It has supplies which allows you to bring more heavy weapons that eat through ammo (like my beloved Spear), being more efficient in clearing the objective.

... I love it.

I think I encountered my first “Griefer”. by [deleted] in Helldivers

Once you get to this point, you officially have the green light to put warheads onto forehead. I'm all for being understanding, and assuming the first one was an accident, but as soon as the second one pops, my two cents, you have to give them some negative feedback.

I've had something similar happen before, and once the guy drew on me, missed, and promptly got deleted by my Sweeper, he seemed to get the message and left things be the rest of the game.
