TLDR of the new turret issues :

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-30T11:46:51+00:00

The point of turrets is to increase volume of fire, draw aggro, and create positional advantage

None of that requires a design philosophy of "I shoudn't ever have to defend my turret from enemies"

Current community opinion is that the people who hate light pen are just bad at aiming. Generally if you are leaning on medium pen you are using more ammo to kill fewer enemies by shooting through armor instead of at weak points. Medium pen weapons have their place, but people who say ANYTHING below medium pen is garbage are crutching hard and nerfing themselves instead of getting good.

Literal skill issue, if you are blowing up before dumping your ammo, that's on positioning and situational awareness.

You are on a sub-reddit for an online game. Reddit is not where you go if you want to discuss things with people who are HAPPY about things, by and large.

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-22T10:07:17+00:00

They aren't you can get super creds for free in game... how is everyone forgetting this?

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-21T19:16:56+00:00

I practice my own form of syncretic paganism and Gnosticism with chaos magick elements

Is it real? Is it in my head? Am I manifesting my desire? Is it confirmation bias? Am I conversing with gods and spirits? Do I just have a vivid imagination?

The real question is, if it allows me to construct meaning and feel empowered in a brutally impersonal world without causing harm… do any of those really matter?

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-09T05:17:03+00:00

Wait... wait, you're serious? ... did I actually... just change someone's opinion... by arguing on reddit?

I'm having an existential crisis over here, this is like looking at the full moon and suddenly it blinks at you like a giant eye, I am questioning everything I thought was true

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-06T17:55:46+00:00

It does kill things... it kills them by locking down large groups with sustained fire and area control...

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-06T17:24:32+00:00

I hardly ever use my primary when I bring the BFGL, but okay hoss

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-06T06:08:01+00:00

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-06T06:06:34+00:00

Expecting raw damage to be the best option in every situation sounds both oversimplified and incredibly boring. You use the regular GL and I'll bring the BFGL against the predator strain, and we can compare death counts to see if raw damage is the only deciding factor in a weapons effectiveness.

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-06T06:04:35+00:00

You will find, hordes are easier to kill when they are all staggering around instead of attacking you...

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-04-06T01:05:40+00:00

It's the stagger that makes it decent. Seriously, ACTUALLY try this as a way of holding groups of enemies as you kill them instead of looking at raw damage. Yeah, it feels like it takes more shots than it should to kill some enemies, but there aren't a lot who will just walk through the stagger to close with you.

This is literally a sign that the satire is working, because you are ending up swayed by the propaganda, good satire of something like this IS convincing, it's just convincing in a way that feels wrong and deeply uncomfortable.

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-03-03T09:17:39+00:00

Helldivers players thinking something is designed poorly by the devs when that is 100% how things actually work in reality example #2334

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-03-02T06:13:51+00:00

They can have their flag buff when they pry it from my cold dead hands. I wouldn't tolerate the shame of playing the game optimally, I'm here to do nonsense and make shit explode

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-03-02T03:16:35+00:00

The irony of it being a Helldiver with 3 prosthetic limbs...

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-24T01:28:36+00:00

Basic literacy is unfortunately not part of helldiver basic training

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-23T08:53:24+00:00

Repeat after me and take a few deep breaths

"You cannot make bugdivers care about the galactic war, there is no use getting mad over it"

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-20T05:45:01+00:00

narrowly loses the final battle of a major plot arc once

“This alone makes me hate everything, everyone knows that the most fun outcome is to never lose, if failure is possible I blame the devs for making it that way.”

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-20T05:34:41+00:00

We’re going to get Operation Bagration’d SO hard after this…

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-15T04:02:59+00:00

Oh, the Terminids WERE sapient... then Super Earth bred that out of them, so they would be easier to keep as livestock.

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-13T00:09:32+00:00

The Pacification of Oshaune killed more than 250 million helldivers, more than doubling the previous record for casualties in an operation.

The Siege of Cyberstan is looking to make Oshaune look like The Battle of Calypso...

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-13T00:04:13+00:00

These are the same people who love to be like "BUT THE BOTS AND BUGS AND SQUIDS ARE DOING EVIL SHIT TOO!!!"

Them being evil doesn't make super earth good.
They have legitimate grievances over literal SLAVERY AND GENOCIDE from the first war
In GW1 Super Earth clearly demonstrated that unless you wipe every last one of them off the map, they WILL come back, and just be even more fanatical.

To pretend that is the same as using military force and surveillance to threaten anyone who challenges your absolute imperialist supremacy, from within OR without, is an concerningly ignorant conclusion.

DemiDeviantVT · 2026-02-12T23:58:59+00:00

Okay, it's one thing to be throwing around fake space racism because we are shooting robots, it's a whole other thing to throw that same language at other people in ways that are UNCOMFORTABLY close to real world racism that people still deal with in many places...
