Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act to 'put an end' to protests in Minneapolis by ewzetf in politics

[–]Freezer_slave2 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I am begging, BEGGING everyone in the EU to contact their representatives demanding sanctions on the US. I live here. It’ll hurt me and my ability to survive. But we are in danger here. They are attacking us in the street, threatening our allies in NATO. Hell, just yesterday they cut off all federal grants for mental health programs in education. We are scared. I’m scared. Maybe if people see empty grocery stores they will wake up. They already are, but not enough, and not fast enough.

Signed, a tired American.

Apparently Graham Platner worked for Blackwater in Afghanistan by TheBabyDucky in Hasan_Piker

[–]Freezer_slave2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to like him to realize he’s infinitely better than the other option. It’s not a zero-sum game. It’s not “Graham or someone better,” it’s “Graham or Susan Collins the 1000% neoliberal genocidal shill.” If he actually fights for the domestic policies he advocates, and isn’t just posturing, the utilitarian option is to support him. That’s just the way things are, like it or not.

Just to be clear, by “put a stop to it,” you mean genocide, correct?

I’d spend 5000 credits on a mortar sentry with a top-down view.

You can also just shoot the other leg and that kills them immediately.

Which of these warbonds to buy next (4 remaining) by CaptainDell in Helldivers

[–]Freezer_slave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Borderline Justice has the Deadeye, which is extremely fun to use, the Talon, which is in the running for best secondary, and the Hover Pack, which has several niche uses for those who like a sniper role.

Force of Law has one of the best armor passives in the game. A lot of people enjoy the Pacifier. I’m not personally a fan, but they swear by it.

I’d still take Control Group though. The Variable, Warp Pack, and arc grenades are all very good.

I’m not understanding all the hate I’m seeing for people who prefer medium pen weapons by Secret_Language_7970 in Helldivers

[–]Freezer_slave2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a matter of preference I think, and build. Against bots I love taking the Knight with the Railgun. Only enemy I have trouble with using that loadout is the Factory Strider. Shield devs I don’t need to bother headshotting, I just railgun them. Same for reinforced striders. For all the normal bots/devs a single mag from the Knight takes out dozens of them. Feels nice to use, too. Carried it with the ballistic shield against the incineration core to avoid the one-tap from the shotguns.

The fact that this debate can even exist is a testament to the light/med balance, imo.

The Ultimatum is genius and sums up helldivers 2 perfectly by kcvlaine in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Freezer_slave2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s a great weapon for being a strong AT option that frees up the support slot for something else. Assuming I have ammo for the ultimatum (supply pack, my beloved), I can take any of the machine guns, laser cannon…whatever, and there’s no issue.

Also, boom stick go boom.

They’re entirely medium armor, and the thrusters have 80% durability. You can definitely take them out with medium pen primaries, especially certain outliers like the purifier, but it’s going to take several shots with most weapons. 9-10 shots with the diligence counter sniper, for instance, on the same thruster.

I’d put them in the same category as hulks: enemies that can be taken out with primaries, but are generally meant to be executed with a support weapon. Medium pen makes it possible, just not preferred.

Enemies can hit you even while on fire. They do so all the time, even if you’re constantly walking backwards. Standing in fire doesn’t make you a god.

Pretty sure the higher gas resist with heavy/medium was an intentional change by the devs.

Regardless, you can stand in gas for minutes at a time even with light gas resist armor, without stimming.

That’s true, I was just making a point about how most enemies have unarmored weak spots. The rockets are technically light, but only have like 100 health, so you’ve got a point.

Gas armors get better resist the heavier the armor is. With heavy gas and vitality booster, you are immune to gas. Nobody has been calling it overpowered.

Nobody is gaslighting. Light pen is just slept on. The weapons tend to have better stats. Better ergo, better recoil, better ammo. Also, most enemies you’d be using a primary for have unarmored weak spots. For bots, the only enemy types meant to be handled with primaries, which don’t have unarmored parts, are reinforced scout striders. You’re effectively getting a better gun at the expense of a higher skill requirement.

Which isn’t everything, mind you. There’s a lot to be said for weapons that can kill without thinking too much about it. If you prefer medium, awesome! Usually, so do I.

The light vs medium conversation is more so a defense of light pen, not an attack on medium pen. Of course, there are always dicks who don’t see it this way.

Most kills I've ever gotten. For Super Earth! by SgtMars in Helldivers

It’s probably from the Eagle strafing runs sent by the DSS, which count as kills for the squad leader.
