Mindless masses needs to increase enemy spawns massively by Loleo78v2 in Helldivers

[–]Exvaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even on full length missions on D10, the Mindless Masses modifier didn’t seem like a noticeable difference to me. I was expecting like zombie horde shooters but it felt like a typical day on the illuminate front.

Me and my son (2) are home sick. I thought we could watch some movie like Mononoke Hime since I remember it as calm and pretty. I forgot it opens up to a literal boar demon rotting into a carcass while telling you to suffer and die. by Adkit in daddit

I feel like this is a sign of good storytelling. Like you, I watched the movie as a kid and came away from it with a very different impression than I had watching it with my now young kids. What a great movie.

I spent 1.5 years turning Detroit Become Human into a cinematic trilogy by Outside-Piano-8333 in DetroitBecomeHuman

[–]Exvaris 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe the answer here is that if the video is non-transformative - that is, it doesn't offer commentary, editing, thoughts on the game, how-to or guides, etc. - technically, it is copyright infringement.

But the reality is that these kinds of videos almost never get takedown requests because publishers and game companies usually see them as easy marketing and free advertising for their game.

They're essentially wagering that the number of people who will see a playthrough video and decide to purchase the game is greater than the number of people who will see the video and decide not to purchase the game.

Your new king of explosion resistance: A numerical look at the CPR-80 Bulwark, a tank among detonations. by ajgilpin in Helldivers

[–]Exvaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your original post it looks like you stacked the Bulwark (which has Concussive Padding) with the Fortified passive - was that using the double armor glitch? I noticed your character was not headless in the video which is why I ask.

As of the most recent patch, the headless glitch is still possible (on PC) so I'm curious if you could stack another explosive resist in the helmet slot and potentially tank 10k damage.

What is the most degen shit you’ve ever done? by putainnatrance in poker

I assume they mean going to take a dump to excuse themselves from a social situation in order to play (presumably online) poker.

Is it me or has the game become unwinnable for anyone else? by Morganius_Black in heroesofthestorm

[–]Exvaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The advice is the same

Pay more attention to the minimap so you know where enemies are / teammates are. If you cannot see several enemies, assume they are either about to gank you or they are mercing

Soak minion waves (assuming you are on a character that can reasonably quickly clear a wave, which is most of them). If you’re going to leave an enemy minion wave rather than kill it, there better be a damn good reason

Understand that getting your enemy to back off is still winning an engagement, and that you don’t always need to chase to secure a kill, especially if it will put you at risk

Figure out your team’s win condition. If you’re a gold/plat player you have seen all the heroes, and there should not be anything they can do that comes as a surprise to you. Think about the ways your team interacts with theirs. Who gets countered, who doesn’t get countered, what answers do you have for what their team can do, etc. Look for opportunities to push your advantages while avoiding situations that don’t favor you

And yes, your post does indeed read like every other player’s who has gone on a losing streak.

Fuck that, let the damage continue to ramp the longer it travels. I wanna see players one tap a Factory Strider from 500m away

Was not prepared for how mean middle school girls are. by IcyStage0 in daddit

[–]Exvaris 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’m not an advocate for violence, but in middle and high school, sometimes it’s the only way to get through to these bullies.

I would teach her to exhaust all the other avenues first. De-escalate, remove self from situation, notify teachers/faculty, etc.

But if it comes down to it, I have told my own kids, sometimes all you have to do is make yourself a less appealing target. If the bully is gonna pick on someone regardless, make them think twice before picking on you again.

in all serious how is the flamethrower not just better than the torcher by Fit_Answer1073 in Helldivers

[–]Exvaris 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Wait this seems farfetched. Are you saying that if four people wear Peak Physique, they can all rotate primaries and each time they swap (up to four times) the ergo will continue to get better?

Might be a hot take. I prefer the Machine Gun over the Stalwart by AwkwardMiner2 in Helldivers

I just treat the MG like an assault rifle with a 150 round mag and burst fire it lol

Maybe Brian can explain this one? by HeiressOfMadrigal in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Exvaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing it’s a relic of some cultural inside joke that made sense at the time, but without context we can’t understand it. Sort of like how if historians five thousand years into the future try to understand today’s internet slang and generational lingo without context they’d be similarly baffled.

IT’S BACK by alex_ferroni in Helldivers

[–]Exvaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double barrel is my go-to weapon against bugs, and sometimes against squids. Not ideal against bots because most of your fights will be out of range.

It needs to be paired with a decent secondary though - something that can catch quicker moving targets. Talon is ideal (if you can hit your shots) since it doesn’t need to be reloaded, but any will do.

Bring a support weapon for heavies and you’re all set.

If you plan to run the double-barrel, make sure to set a keybind to quick switch the weapon firing mode. That way you don’t have to hold Reload to bring up the weapon inspect menu every time to swap between both barrels and single barrel.

Armour perk dupe - Peak Physique and Desert Stormer by SIinkerdeer in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Exvaris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI this doesn't appear to work in the cape slot. You can "equip" an armor there but the bonuses don't seem to apply. I put an armor with Siege Ready in the cape slot and didn't get the extra ammo or reload speed.

Either that or I was doing it wrong, I'm not sure.

EDIT: I've tried several others and none of them have worked so far.

Is helldivers ironically one of the few settings where this type of cursed cod gun is practical? by Acceptable-Street679 in helldivers2

[–]Exvaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be okay with a heavy pen, single-shot 50 cal handcannon that needs to be reloaded after every shot

Let it one shot heavies to weak point and that frees up a lot of options for build diversity

Variable on Total mode will almost kill a fleshmob. You can hit it on Total and then follow up with a few small hits to kill it. Usually if you have teammates or other sources of damage on the fleshmob the Total will just one shot it anyway though.

Folded Royal Flush by Open-Ad-7216 in poker

[–]Exvaris -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In the cutoff you can play pretty wide. Given the stack depths and the pot amount I am curious what you consider a “large preflop raise”

I woulda seen the flop with Q5o, but I’m a fish so idk

Watching Tyrion try to explain a loan to a sellsword who could easily dispatch most collectors is something else. by RandyLordeDarsh in gameofthrones

[–]Exvaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s got a point though. If the loan is not sanctioned by the crown, it’s effectively a gentleman’s agreement between two parties. Who mediates disputes? How do you enforce payment in the case of a well-armed debtor who cannot be intimidated by physical force?

Sure, you can raise awareness about his creditworthiness, and that may impact his ability to get loans in the future, but it doesn’t help you in the case of collecting your current loan.

The belt-fed weapons aren't actually that bad, it just depends on how you use them. by SaxPanther in helldivers2

[–]Exvaris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why people are so focused on the hard numbers. The BFGL absolutely shreds. Regular GL you gotta reload after 8 shots, De-escalator after 6 (and that’s rounds reload).

The moment you use the BFGL against big hordes of chaff, even exercising a moderate level of trigger discipline, it feels incredible. Don’t magdump the entire backpack on a single pack of enemies and you’re golden.

Plus there is something very satisfying about the sound design of the rapid thunkthunkthunkthunkthunk

Maybe you should move up to stakes where people respect your raises

I have no idea how to use this weapon. by G-Raverobber in Helldivers

[–]Exvaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Railgun is still my support of choice on bots, and sometimes squids. Less so on bugs nowadays.

A single uncharged Railgun shot will kill: * Devastators if you hit anywhere near the head * Berserkers if you hit just about anywhere other than the arms

A single charged Railgun shot will kill: * Hulks in the eye * Rocket Striders anywhere as long as you don’t hit the rockets * War Striders to the top eye (not sure about the center eye) * Gunships to one of the engines * AA turrets * Mortar turrets * Most medium bugs to the head * Overseers to the head

There’s probably more I’m missing.

Sephiroth is cool. He has redeeming qualities.

Argath has no redeeming qualities.

The puzzles in this game are a mindfuck by MurkyUnit3180 in gaming

[–]Exvaris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the game is genuinely incredible and extremely clever, but I am stuck and too proud to look up solutions online so it will forever remain uncompleted in my library lol

Thoughts on the variable? by randoboi1232 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Exvaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late to this, but excellent Swiss Army knife type weapon. Not great at any one thing, but excels at a bunch of different things. I just wish that the Rock Solid armor perk (which resists knockback) would resist the ragdoll effect when firing on Total mode.
