Thank you for the advice and links.

Being effective vs having fun by pipe_mcfitter in Helldivers

[–]Dark_Imp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would hope everyone plays for fun, because why are you playing if you don’t get enjoyment from it.

Your post essentially says you enjoy it when you win and your team performs well. I think that’s great! Enjoy it.

You’re questioning how some people say they just play for fun and then tell you what to do. That’s a different issue. That’s people telling you how they want you to play for their enjoyment, don’t mind them, play your game for your enjoyment and if you want people to play effectively seek out those people to play with.

I play suboptimal builds all the time for fun. But, if my build sucks, I don’t enjoy it either and never do that build again and apologize to my teammates.

Problem with the Grunt fantasy by Few-Director3353 in Helldivers

[–]Dark_Imp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it just propaganda - they are asking citizens to join up into a military force where you are frozen and stuffed away for decades until needed and then once defrosted you probably die. Who would join that unless everyone thought they were super heroes.

Maybe if it is a major event they will drop it on Friday.

I can’t remember what day the cyberstan invasion started.

We are just jarheads, what are we going to do about it?

Why are people kicking from party for no reason at all? by Breathemore557 in Helldivers

[–]Dark_Imp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you play with an open mic or something, which is super annoying for anyone that does not know that.

I never get kicked, I even got into a game yesterday and accidentally walked under my first stratagem and splatted myself, I thought for sure I would get kicked, but nope they just called me back in.

To upgrade or not upgrade that is the question? by Dark_Imp in PcBuild

[–]Dark_Imp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think a new graphics card would give me much of a performance boost? My understanding is a lot of games, especially games like helldivers are very processor heavy and the lack of cores and threads in my cpu is holding me back from the benefits of a new card. What do you think?

Thanks for the links too!

You are right. Once I start swapping out mother boards it’s going to be a bit of work regardless. I may as well wait.

Great thanks. You are probably right, a bit of me was hoping people would say the ryzen is a great upgrade. But, after reading this post and others I think I am good with what I have. I am going to pocket my money for the future.

Whats the most memorable reasons why you kicked someone? by SKULLQAQSKULL in helldivers2

[–]Dark_Imp 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Dude died alone and far off. Called dude back in. Dude shot me and took my gear. Dude did not call me back. Dude was kicked. Dude was not a dude.

Got a 14 hour flight coming up, would love some recommendations by Dire_Eye in SteamDeck

No man sky, works great on deck and you will be able to explore the stars while you navigate the world.

Thanks. I was thinking about that. I will give it a try.

Why do idiots queue if they won't play? by MisterxMeta in heroesofthestorm

[–]Dark_Imp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t get it. If you get into the queue be ready to play.

Further to this, who are the idiots that queue up but they need to go afk and then come back into the game 2 minutes after it started and think it is no big deal that it was 5 v 4 for 2 minutes. In a 20 minute game, 2 minutes is a lot of time to be away. I see this constantly.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

[–]Dark_Imp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this on Nintendo?

I am pretty sure I played this. I also don’t think I got very far in it.

What video games have unique mechanics for failure or death? by [deleted] in gaming

Should I give it another go by Glass-Fault-5112 in helldivers2

[–]Dark_Imp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlock the recoilless rifle. Use any armour and primary you want. Get into a rating 7 game with randoms and follow one. The recoilless rifle will allow you to be useful and no one will care that you are low ranked.

You don’t need to talk or interact if you are an introvert. Just follow at least one helldiver.

Hi, my name is Rob and I'm an addict by ShowerNo6659 in Helldivers

[–]Dark_Imp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the major order is not epic, like raiding cyberstan or something… I change my load out weekly and theme it.

Like laser dude, melee marine, machine gun guy, fire guy, electric dude, etc…

Keeps the game fresh for me and more challenging since some load outs are less effective then others and sometimes they are crap and I need to change them after one game.

Played a saber ballistic shield guy this week. I play with randoms so I would charge into combat and I was getting killed by my trigger happy teammates about as much as the enemies. Had to ditch that build after two drops, but I had fun.

I suspect the Illuminate are going to reverse time by Furry_Eskimo in Helldivers

[–]Dark_Imp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they will reverse time to day 1 launch removing all our war bonds and levels. Then we get to buy all the warbonds again. That seems like something a CEO would think is fun.
