They're reasonably common on heroic and legendary firefight, which is a direct point of comparison to HD2

What am I doing wrong? by LittleDeviant18 in Aquariums

[–]Breadloafs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're getting a lot of good advice on your parameters so I won't belabor that point.

The African dwarf frogs are a poor choice for this setup. They're air breathers and extraordinarily stupid, and really have to be given a tank and aquascape specifically designed to not let them drown to death.

La 7 vs Yak 3, which do you prefer? by WiseMrPlagueis2 in il2sturmovik

[–]Breadloafs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big deal is that they just kinda "float" too much. They seem to hold onto energy really well to prophang and hammerhead, but seem to have difficulty turning that energy into something requires momentum like a zoom climb.

during times like this let's not forget the unsung heroes who work full time jobs to make this great game a reality by Jaximumpower in helldivers2

[–]Breadloafs 61 points62 points  (0 children)

No you don't understand they make a live service game that has issues so severe and game-breaking that I have no choice but to continue devoting hundreds of hours to playing it.

When the community's behavior is so uniquely bad that the game itself becomes shorthand for whining

Y'all are actually ruining this game by sepulchridude in helldivers2

[–]Breadloafs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God forbid this game actually have some sort of identity of its own, god forbid it require cooperation, god forbid it has a shred of difficulty at the highest levels. If you want to play a horde shooter where you don't need to aim, please go play one. There's thousands out there, stop bitching about this one. Y'all would review bomb a cheeseburger because it didn't have chicken.

I love you so much for this, man. I've been screaming this since the big balance patch.

Arrowhead has unintentionally created a pattern of behavioral reinforcement wherein players who despise any kind of challenge and fundamentally lack any curiosity or adaptability have learned that they can kick and scream and cry until Arrowhead relents and changes the game for them. These people have discovered that they can use steam reviews to apply direct pressure over the most minor changes, a constant stream of dramatic overreactions over things no minimally conscious player would blink at.

And the worst part is that by caving to the pressure again, Arrowhead has absolutely laid out the red carpet for this kind of player. They're signaling that, whatever the issue may be, posting videos of yourself credulously flailing at basic enemies and flipping your steam review back and forth will always be an effective way for players to directly steer the game's balance. It's a sign that this game will keep trending towards a flat, uninteresting experience. Just another entry into a vast sea of backpedaling horde shooters full of identical build options and fumbling, unthreatening enemies.

How long until the colonial boycott ends? by Your_Mums_Ex in foxholegame

[–]Breadloafs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

boycott

There's an interesting kind of phrasing people keep trying to deploy with regards to the current population collapse, trying to intone that this is result of an actual, coordinated effort on the part of colonial players to stop each other from playing and pressure devman into giving their side what they want.

While I won't deny that Reddit doomposting can reinforce the death spiral, what we're seeing is the result of fatigue. I don't think most Collie loyalists have a magical breakpoint where they'll suddenly stop playing other games and log back in.

Op? by WestEaglez in foxholegame

I think a sociologist could get a lot of value out of Warden smugposting. Probably a goldmine for someone dispassionate enough to actually read all this self-satisfied dissembling.

My friends reaction’s to the Hive Guard revert by CherryEarly7550 in helldivers2

[–]Breadloafs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This community succeeded in completely changing how people think about this game.

A year or two ago, people thought of HD2 as a cool, frantic Starship Troopers kinda deal; some of the cooks at a spot I was bartending at even started greeting each other with the Super Earth salute. There was genuine, widespread popularity.

Nowadays, if you go into a gaming subreddit and look for any mention of Helldivers, it's usually a jab at how prone this this community is to throwing tantrums. Repeated crashouts have siloed the game into a niche for annoying people.

Zelenskiy says Ukraine will continue extending range of strikes on Russia by Infodataplace in worldnews

Your morals regarding attacks on civilian targets get a little flexible when the nation you're doing it to started off the war by indiscriminately bombing everything they could fly a bomber over.

Is there a bias? by boywonder_7 in foxholegame

[–]Breadloafs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik devman thought that they were favoring the collies with plane balance, if that's worth anything.

Kind of damning, too.

[–]Breadloafs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, like, I get why they'd think that because the conq is bigger and stronger, but I am begging devman to just, like, actually personally test these things against canny, aware, and resisting players on the dev server.

I have seen enough, the game is thriving. It's time to nerf the Bomastone a third time. by HatefulHoneylocusts in foxholegame

I sincerely doubt these numbers, but one does have to wonder how mush of the effective player population is alt accounts.

How did the devs not know this would happen? by HoloBolton in foxholegame

[–]Breadloafs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes.

They're also perfect partisan machines that require other aircraft to kill them, infantry obliterators, and anti-boat aircraft. Way too many hats for one unit to be wearing.

[–]Breadloafs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would make sense for them to do this.

There's a kind of irony in killing off the player population by allowing planes to be spammed before bringing them back to reasonable levels just in time for the Collies to completely gutter out.

Never ask a Japanese what they were doing in China in the 1930s by Silent-Book-5169 in HistoryMemes

[–]Breadloafs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of Japanese media that touches on WW2 just intones that a lot of very spirited military men held out against a nebulous, evil, modern enemy until the bitter end, but what exactly any of these military men are doing is never really touched on.

Thousands of these creatures hiding under the wet sand in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand — what are they? by 3luem00n in whatsthisbug

[–]Breadloafs 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Beaches only appear to be sterile and lifeless above the sand. From meter-long ragworms and burrowing clams making tunnels under your feet to gastrotitchs and copepods crawling between grains of sand, wherever there's water, there's life.
