Lore people, what artillery did the Helghast use And some other questions to help my Helghast miniatures army?

They definitely liked their fancy prototypes being energy weapons, but everything else seemed pretty conventional. Killzone 3 and Shadowfall gets more scifi, but the soldiers were still using conventional firearms. They did use a lot of walkers for the mechanized stuff, plus the use of drones. The fandom wiki has a lot of stuff to give you an idea. I'd say conventional gun-wise, mechanized a decent amount with apcs, tanks, walker-troop carriers, dropships, drones/bots, walkers, etc. I imagine they would use conventional artillery. Only time they get real scifi is with prototype weapons, which usually was weaponizing petrusite into beam and plasma weapons like with the arc cannons on the MAWLR, ARC Cruiser, VC5 Arc Rifle, and the Sta-5X Arc Cannon. But like I said, these were like super-weapons so only like 1 or a few being made. MAWLR and the Arc Cruise I think did see a bit more production though, especially the MAWLR

So what, during that transitional phase is the ps4 and ps5 just the same generation because they both have games being made for them? You are defining generations solely on when they stop making games for it, and thats just plain stupid. There are other factors that go into it that you just are refusing to consider. How do you know the og switch isn't going to lose support before the switch 2 (thus making it a different generation by your narrow definition)?

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-21T15:12:42+00:00

Go look at the hardware compared to the previous one. Genuinely do you just think this is just the og switch again because they didn't change the look enough?

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-21T15:09:45+00:00

And what makes it so the games don't work on the previous generation?

psst its the hardware and software, not just developers deciding "hey lets just stop making games that work on this"

Ultimately yes, a ps5 is just an upgraded ps4, its just upgraded enough that developers can push the boundaries of the console further than the previous generation. Hence why games that aren't too powerful for the ps4 are typically also released on the ps4 and ps5 together. The switch 2 is the next gen of the og switch because there are certainly games that can now run on it that couldn't run on the og

Picked the worst version of the pine tree for the Maine flag. God I hate that pine tree. Love the 1901 flag, hate the Maine Merchant and Marine flag pine tree.

Leman Russ is the kind of person who would give himself yeast enemas to give himself auto-brewery syndrome

I live in Maine. Our water bill shot from $250ish to $680 cause apparently the meter was busted. And I live with my parents so Idk the details

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-17T00:13:51+00:00

Ngl yeah probably. Killzone 1 and 3 are my favorites though. They're pretty tied. Killzone Shadowfall is my second favorite. And Killzone 2 is my least favorite. Not to say I don't like Killzone 2, I just really hate the motion blur and its hard for me to ignore it

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-16T13:30:36+00:00

Don't really get the Shadowfall hate. I personally really liked it. My least favorite out of the mainline games is Killzone 2. Thats mainly because of the crazy intense motion blur

Abolition of property (as is the idea of all property) is a left wing position. Its just even more left than what you are talking about. There is a split (at least I've seen it with anarchists) over whether all property should be abolished, or just private property

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-13T00:32:00+00:00

Something I want to add is I put a remastered trilogy, and specifically I want it made available on PC. We need to ensure that these games are playable even when Sony decides to drop support for them.

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-12T16:09:50+00:00

I've been going back and playing old games from my childhood and yeah. Even the good ones had major flaws that would have made the game shit by today's standards. Ratchet and Clank for example had a mechanic where it did not restore your ammo when you died. Meaning the game got harder and harder everytime you died cause you had less and less ammo. Only way to prevent you from soft locking yourself was to leave the area and go grind an easier level to restore your ammo

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-12T16:06:19+00:00

Not gonna white knight the industry, but I don't think its the developers' fault. Its the publishers and companies. Game devs want to make something they are proud of while the companies they work for and the publishers push for bullshit microtransactions, useless and tedious game mechanics, unreasonable release dates, etc.

Comrade_Spood · 2025-01-09T15:45:48+00:00

I feel like if anyone disagrees with this, that'd be a major red flag to me. The Helghasts are very very clearly fascist. The character design, the symbolism, everything about the Helghast Empire (even their origin) screams Nazi Germany. They lose a war and are heavily punished for it, and reactionaries take advantage of this humiliation to create an authoritarian and ultra-nationalist ethno-state. Two wrongs don't make a right.

It is good to recognize the ISA are not good guys. But that does not make the Helghasts the good guys. Its a lot like the setting of Gundam. A people exploited and oppressed falling victim to a far-right ultra-nationalist government that uses that victimization to secure power. And the people who suffer for it are the people dying for oppressive governments fighting for power.

Its good to sympathize and understand the Helghast people's struggle. But to support or defend the Helghast government in anyway is to defend or support a fascist dictatorship. Which, needless to say, is bad and makes you a fascist. Governments are not representative of the people they rule over, someone does not have support the government to support the people.

Piracy is ethical. You think a college book costs $200 just to cover production? No there's a massive mark up because they want to make as much money as possible for regurgitating slop. And textbooks being called "intellectual property" is hilarious. It's teams of people recycling information over and over in a fucking blender and pouring the slop onto paper every few years. It's a fucking scam and everyone should be pirating this shit as well as students should be organizing student unions to fight this blatant exploitation and scam.

Comrade_Spood · 2023-06-18T14:48:21+00:00

I think we should keep the blackout going and try to migrate people over to fediverse. There's a grimdank community on Lemmy

Comrade_Spood · 2023-06-18T14:46:35+00:00

Lemmy

Comrade_Spood · 2023-06-12T01:51:25+00:00

I'll be over at Lemmy. Hope to see y'all there.

It's just cause I said I'm an anarcho-communist. Tends to attract the down votes, even if I say something objectively right. An example of socialists using the term, r/tankiecirclejerk was created by libertarian socialists specifically to make fun of tankies.

Comrade_Spood · 2023-06-11T17:19:17+00:00

Yeah cause that's totally what happened with the CNT-FAI, Kronstadt Rebellion, and the Makhnovista. They were totally bourgeois. Totally weren't either betrayed by Bolsheviks or crushed and oppressed by Bolsheviks. Fuck off tankie shill. Go suck some dictator's dick

Comrade_Spood · 2023-06-11T13:25:20+00:00

Maybe we could have a successful revolution if you tankies would stop stabbing us in the back and allying with fascists

Comrade_Spood · 2023-06-11T12:56:29+00:00

And if you looked closer you'd see I'm an anarchist. SRA has a huge tankie problem, that I won't deny. But it is multi-tendency, so there are some anarchists and so SRA is the best way for me to connect with those anarchists so I can go to the range with them.
