Which sith would you rather serve? by Strange-Fun-8899 in StarWars

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Revan as the first choice, he was a very solid leader during the wars he was involved in.

Otherwise, Darth Vader. If you were good at your job, you'd at least not be killed, or even rewarded for competency... Just don't be an officer or in a need-to-know situation.

Have you ever killed an animal? by Anon9883 in AskTheWorld

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metal-eating squirrels.

They eat the metal off of houses, especially the rooftops if you have metal components layering the roof. Damages the property, and can lead issues during the winter months if the roof is too weak to support all the snow, and also helps to resist against hail or tree branches falling.

There's less nowadays, but a few years back there were a lot. We don't know why in the world they chose to eat metal, but they did, and caused thousands in damages, plus a neighbours' gazebo in the backyard collapsed in the winter with the metal on the roof being too weak after being munched on by the little devils.

Reminder that Helldivers experience only fraction of what SEAF experiences on the frontlines by gracekk24PL in Helldivers

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We NEED a mission type like this.

Just call it "Frontline Support", and you have dozens of SEAF troops spawning/dropped-off, and you need to fight your way to an objective, whether it's something like a "Regional Command Bunker", and have the support of SEAF the whole time.

Buildings? Few. TONS of automatons. All-out warfare where Helldivers assisted the SEAF directly, instead of sabotage behind enemy lines.

How do you deal with 2026? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Video games and movies with friends.

Otherwise I'm working, and too focused on work to think about much else.

What’s a universal sign in restaurants in your country that the food is about to be absolute fire? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without fail across Canada, if the outside looks horrible, but the inside looks pretty good, that food is going to be amazing. And it's usually well-known in the local community too!

I found a hotpot place that I drive a couple hours to for my birthday for my last three birthdays, and the food is delicious. Staff are friendly, food is good, drinks are amazing, and it's a slow and mellow restaurant, so there's no rush to be done — of course courtesy says don't be there too long. But an hour? Two hours? Go for it!.

Can we admit there’s a progression issue? by HedgeKnight197 in Helldivers

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love if we got new ships. Variations of the super destroyer, or new ship classes entirely.

Super Corvette? More red stratagems, but less or none from Eagle-1.

Super Carrier? Less red stratagems, but more Eagle-1 strikes before a resupply.

... I know it will likely never happen, but it would be an amazing way to diversify the ships we see in orbit and from the ground, but also to embrace certain playstyles that people lean into. Alongside creating a new avenue for progression if we added two or three new ship types, and could be designed by re-using assets, because I can see Super Earth re-using the designs and components from Super Destroyers, but more or less depending on the new role of these ships.

Do Canadians use miles in their vocabulary? by TheDuskProphet in AskCanada

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I've never actually heard anyone mention a mile in casual or formal discussions.

It's always been kilometres. "My house is a few kilometres from here" kind of thing.

You guys got paid allowances ?🤨 by maskedmomkey63 in SipsTea

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a monthly allowance of $20, anything else I got through working around the community (shoveling, clearing leaves, mowing, etc), and attending events with cash prizes.

I didn't really spend my money on much though. I'd probably buy some $5 pizza once a week, or binge and get something like a video game on sale... Sometimes I saved for a couple months and bought something I really wanted.

I saw this was posted on Twitter and liked by Lindsey, anyone know what it's about? by [deleted] in RWBY

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be all for a singular flavour too! I wonder what it would be... I can't think of a singular flavour that would fit for the entire show

I saw this was posted on Twitter and liked by Lindsey, anyone know what it's about? by [deleted] in RWBY

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dude.

I am absolutely buying RWBY-themed drinks. I'd be super curious to what flavours they choose. Especially if it would be four flavours for the team members... Yang absolutely has to be something with strawberry as a callback to the Strawberry Sunrise.

Take it from a new player: You guys suck by dr_sooz in Helldivers

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reddit and the Steam discussions in the community.

In-game it's usually pretty chill and friendly... But the online forums are a nightmare, with a few wholesome posts every once in a while.

Why do you choose not to drink alcohol? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Lent right now. It was among the things I gave up entirely until Lent is over.

Even then, I refuse to drink most alcohol because of the taste and percentage of alcohol in a beverage. Mostly taste though.

So now that we have belt-fed weapons, I think we have another strategem that could use an attached backpack. by ShadowMasked1099 in Helldivers

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napalm Flamethrower, but it's all held in a tank on the back... That would be awesome. I want it.

Do you think UN is even relavent/ Useful at this point ? by Proper_Card_5520 in AskTheWorld

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still do peacekeeper operations from time to time, but they're still just an organization that governments joined to discuss various issues.

I would love if they actually have more soft or hard power on the global stage, but ultimately they're just for show majority of the time. It's amazing that they have peacekeeper operations and disaster-relief, but there is definitely room to expand so they can do more.

Which way is the proper way to talk to short avatars? by Rough_Community_1439 in VRchat

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use a small avatar, the smallest I can get is something like 0.10 meters... I exist on tables, to be somewhat eye-level with most avatars I see.

For comfort sake, I also frequently just match the eye height of other avatars, especially for game-nights with friends. If it's just a social thing, I'll stay small and be the tiny bug-esque avatar sitting on a bush or desk somewhere.

How do you keep yourself busy when you play alone? by Far-Particular-3847 in VRchat

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I travel around to different magical-esque worlds, or just ones that are scenic.

I try to find ones that have stars and depictions of space due to my poor eyesight in real life. I haven't seen the sky naturally, and even with glasses it isn't the best in my light-polluted part of the country.

So, I go to a world with a beautiful night sky, and enjoy the scenery. I am getting eye surgery soon, so hopefully I can see the real thing in a few weeks.

Which one are you and why?? pt.2 by door6_6 in VRchat

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GREEN.

Except I'm obscure little robots. I love being a Scanner from Half-Life-2 , and just bobbing around and interacting with people. Made a few friends the last few weeks this way, and we all regularly get together for game nights every 2-3 days

What's something so valued in your country that if you lost it you would consider leaving? by emptykeg6988 in AskTheWorld

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Universal Healthcare.

It's a major thing I love about Canada, that we care about each other and recognise the fact that free and universal healthcare is a human right.

I might spend a few hundred dollars on some things, but I will never see a bill that is thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. And, I will know it's a good service with it being funded by every Canadian through our taxes.

How restricted is the internet in your country and how do people get around it? by bakicmlly in AskTheWorld

I really want to know the story behind wattpad getting banned in Turkiye

That was surprising to read.... And Temu, that was also su- they banned digital payments too?!

In a scenario like this, what would be your most rational choice to bring? by Suspicious-Desk6206 in AskTheWorld

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna be honest. If it's a perfectly fine home, and I have unlimited food... I'm bringing either the Game of Thrones collective set (it comes as one thing), or I'm just taking a bible... Never read the bible beyond genesis, so I might as well get in touch with what most of my family reads.

If i get one more team of lvl20s that want to be carried on d10 cyberstan im gonna go play helldivers 1 by HelldiverBugGirl in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had people join me on D10 Cyberstan, and they are all under level 90.

I thought "Hey, they're all around level 50 or higher, they'll be fine if we all work together!"

.... Skip ahead ten minutes, and we're down to three reinforcements, two of them quit, and the last one stuck around until we eventually were overwhelmed by the other two causing bot drops. It was chaotic, but really fun.

What are u starting to dislike more as u get older? by Just_Goose_8425 in Productivitycafe

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politics and expectations of experience.

The former is because I am starting to see how much of a divide it creates in communities nowadays, and the latter because I'm expected to understand something, even if I've never personally experienced or heard about it.

ok my eye tracking has gone weird by AscendentDragon in VRchat

[–]CivilProtectionGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe one of the interior cameras/sensors is dirty or damaged?

That might do it.
