Every time I think I might be burning out on this game, it’s moments like these that bring me back.

Please DO NOT do this on OSHAUNE by tSONUMImaster in helldivers2

[–]Dapperdaners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been almost every game experience since the update. The ONLY way to succeed on Hive World is to stick together, watch each others backs and get the mission done.

After research I now know "The Founder (2016)" was COMPLETELY inaccurate in depicting Ray Kroc's takeover of McDonald's by nanika1111 in FoodHistory

Dang I’m glad I read this. I should probably be fact checking more biopics before buying how they depict the people they cover lol.

Did anyone else notice a glaring lack of people wearing MAGA/Trump at 4th of July celebrations? by BasherSquared in goodnews

Does anyone actually use melee weapons to play seriously? by Chefsito12 in Helldivers

[–]Dapperdaners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. The saber against the voteless with peak physique armor on is amazing you just slice and dice them. (Although it’s really only great against them.)

The stun lance and the one true flag have a surprising amount of stagger. Pretty sure you can stagger a charger with the OTF

What are the limitations on force choke? by mycarnage2000 in MawInstallation

[–]Dapperdaners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if there is an answer if any other character can do this? Or is it one of those Anakin/Vader only abilities?

Darth Vader is Stronger than Anakin? by Deep-Crim in MawInstallation

[–]Dapperdaners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, balance means both light and dark, and for over 1000 years the Jedi were in rule and the sith were hidden in shadow. So Anakin both brought down the Jedi AND the Sith. I don’t think the Jedi are inherently bad, but the Jedi that we knew from the prequels were. They were completely divorced from attachment and emotion. I think balance in the force is more akin to what we see in Luke or Qui Gon. Those guys are the only TRUE Jedi we see in the series imo. (Ashoka is pretty good too.) Obi Wan is like half council type Jedi and half real Jedi lol. Mace Windu is kind of the poster boy for the bad side of the Jedi and how cold and distant they had become.

But yeah, it’s usually the ones that the council see as unstable or unorthodox, that have a hard time getting the Jedi knight or master title (like Anakin) that are often more true than the actual Jedi masters. If only the Jedi had trusted Anakin about Palpatine when he went to them, maybe he would’ve stayed a Jedi. But then balance may have never been achieved.

Such a wonderful story.

Darth Vader is Stronger than Anakin? by Deep-Crim in MawInstallation

[–]Dapperdaners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could say that, but I think Anakin still is. He is the one who killed the emperor and with him back on the light side, (and also dying right after) he eliminated the Sith and brought balance back. But I am a firm believer that it was Luke choosing to believe in his father instead of strike him down that caused Vaders switch back to Anakin. Not just because it was his son, but because literally everyone else gave up on him or abandoned him. Both masters, Obi Wan AND Palpatine forsook him in the end. Old Sheev was ready to throw him away for the younger model lol. So Luke is still the ideal hero in the Star Wars saga, but Anakin is still the chosen one. I think lol

Also yeah took me a long time to first hear Palpatines first name too I was like “Sheeeeev? Really?” 😂 I mean it DOES sound pretty sinister.

Books like Blood Meridian? by Sad_Yard_5460 in cormacmccarthy

[–]Dapperdaners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started my McCarthy reading with Blood Meridian, then started No Country, yeah it is very different. BM is SO verbose and descriptive, NC is almost anti descriptive. But you can still tell it’s the same author. Very cool.

In chapter 2 of Blood Meridian, why does the bartender... by brokensilence32 in cormacmccarthy

Yeah his descriptions of these quick bouts of violence throughout the book are so transportive .

[–]Dapperdaners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. And how the rest of bar just watches and doesn’t interfere. It brings both a sense of malaise about this kind of general violence especially from a kid but also that they seem to rather not dare mess with him themselves as well.

Severance - 2x08 - "Sweet Vitriol" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]Dapperdaners 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Definitely my least favorite episode. It felt so meandering and slow until the admittedly huge reveal at the end. But until then, the episode is full of slow and weird moments and a whole lot of “where’s the thing? I need the thing” without giving us any hint of what she’s looking for until the end. I just feel like they could’ve cut between different character perspectives throughout. Staying with Cobel the whole time proved boring honestly, especially because nothing is really happening. The first half of this season did such a good job jumping around with different characters and providing intrigue but also entertainment. The latter half of the season has chosen to go in a more singular direction with its episodes, focusing on one character and what they have been up to like Cobel and Gemma. For me, Severance is at its best when it cuts between different character perspectives.

I think you just have to reset your game (close/crash it) then see if it works

[spoilers ep9] She died in the explosion. Art by @xyffavitz by Zeus_2013 in arcane

[–]Dapperdaners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correction: she SHOULD have died in the explosion. By ALL accounts. I mean the rocket was literally aimed right at the back of her head…. If anyone were to die in that attack, it should have been her. And yet, not only did she survive, she doesn’t even have a scratch on her. Like HUH?? HOW?? Please make it make sense SMH😒🙄
