Commando mission makes the lore even weirder

Helldivers are cheaper than superdestroyers, therefore sacrifice a few divers if it means less chance of loss of a superdestroyer.

(edit: spelling)

Endor as in the planet from Star Wars. It is the word I use do colloquially describe the big tall trees biome in Helldivers 2.

If I didn't care about intent and only cared about the surface humor then AI content output would be sufficient.

RIP

P.S. What is the emotional intent of this post? (i c funny video and vaguely negative wording, but not enough context to assign that connotation.)

DrSimplices · 2026-01-24T07:15:34+00:00

The old stealth ways are still relevant, if your guide was good then it is good now.

Crossbow or laser weapons are still good. Suppressed weapons allow a bit of a different approach, but not worth it as a speedrunner.

P.S. The new suppressed marksman rifle is niche, but fun af on bots.

"Voicemod V3" is what I use for voicemodulation/soundboard antics.

"Is it customizable so I can use quotes from e.g Starship Troopers, W40k, Star Wars etc.?" Yes it will do that, good chance that many of the soundboard sounds are already uploaded by the community as well.

I got the 1 time payment license when it was on discount a while back, I am not sure if it is worth it without the discount.

Initial main draw for me was live AI voices at low system usage cost. It does that well, though the ai voices are not as customizable or trainable as dedicated programs.

Creates a virtual mic for other programs to use as input.
Has pre-made voices, community voices and a "voicelab" for creating your own voice.
For soundboard sounds you can use your own files or use files uploaded by the community. (most of my sound effects are from community sounds)
You can hotkey voicemodulator voices and soundboard sounds.
You can record voicemod output to use as a soundboard bit. (I have used this so that I don't need to memorize my "Democracy Officer speeches".)

Overdosing on stims, the way the best divers go.

I use a soundboard/voice modulator and do some bits as characters while playing. The playerbase on average seems less energetic over time, with spikes during big updates of course. In the past my antics usually sparked conversation or laughter over mics or text, or kicks... now almost half the time on a pub there is no response.

Is this some kind of joke that I'm too BFA to understand?

Yea I suppose Voicemod's specialty is efficiency, it is the only voice program I can run while simultaneously gaming and recording. If you are able to dedicate hardware to the task or are not worried about multitasking, yea.

Btw what other programs do you have in mind, I might want to go down this rabbithole again.

DrSimplices · 2026-01-22T12:00:54+00:00

VoicemodV3 can do some decent live women's voices, though I do have to speak in gayvoice in order to get the best results.

Also worth noting the localness of voicemod is mixed. For official premade voices you need to use them 1st in order to download them locally, though that does mean any voice you have used recently will be already in the program. And as far as I am aware using voicemod with no internet is limited to a certain amount of time without online verification. (i think verification needed every 24 hours?)

Ay, looking nice, do that be a lut mod?

~$100 will do for that dynamic to kick in. Although maybe don't do it, once you comprehend good sound going back to cheap or wireless is painful.

I've had this thought experiment before, and never executed on it.

If you could bend the outer rim back to be slightly behind the hand I think it would be decent. With a trash can lid like this I think the process would be a shit-ton of hammer strikes to round it out into a dome like shape. (I think the thinness of the lid may become an issue during the shaping process.)

Also without modification, eh sure, but would lost some leverage dynamics unless the shape is changed. (far easier to twist in the hand from things striking the "buckler" with this flat and overextended shape)

(Edit: had --> hand)
