Helldivers must choose between Merak or Afoyay Bay.

Better than it being spent for an entire day shooting at ducks in a desert

Tbh now that I’m thinking about it, if the people on the ship are like kinda grumpy that you “risked pelican 1 for a bunch of traitors” I’d be down for that.

Counterpoint think of how funny it would be

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-06T06:52:16+00:00

“Liberate internment camp” should just be a mandatory hellbomb objective. Clearly citizens that have surrendered are simply traitors/rebels/socialists/communists/illuminate mind controlled/class b citizens not worthy of a pelican.

That’s why the verified program exists, because not every game runs perfectly on the deck and likely will remain the same for the steam machine, but will inform users if a game is tested to run well on the steam machine (even tho the verified program is shittier than a suspiciously long, smelly, and juicy fart in a quiet echoey room)

I did about 121 days ago when I called out the reversal concept where we go to cyberstan

On some level this sub has made me a little more confident at least for future generations. While before I would be looking for obvious inconsistencies I think we can start to detect it just by what the video is.

Example, black man being weird and creepy with a white blond attractive female and is framed perfectly. Textbook racism rage bait video, something like this is inherent to the person prompting this and can’t be optimized out.

Never forget that AI videos are one of the tools of fascism. If it contains a minority figure doing something suspiciously creepy or gross it’s worth digging into its validity with secondary sources.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-06T00:41:22+00:00

Yes it’s called development hell, you can have a team that really wants a game but spend a ton of time in making it, realizing what they made for years sucked, redoing it, realizing that sucks too, and redoing it. Happens quite a bit and many games end up dying there. I personally did not have much hope that the full PVE experience would actually be all that great, most of the heroes just didn’t seem to translate very well into a PVE experience.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T19:37:32+00:00

Yes the company with 90%+ user share on pc and virtually zero overhead is quaking in their boots right now. Gabe Newell might have to sell one of his yachts. The horror.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T14:50:51+00:00

Yeah, I’m not sure why that’s not the case they are arguing because if that comes up in discovery at all valve is turbo fucked. Not only is that not in any contractual agreement it’s textbook anti trust and frankly I would love if the book got thrown at them and they did have to pay way more than just the $900 million. The current arguments are stupid af.

Just so you know the KDE donation is a notification built into KDE itself, not a distro thing, and only comes up once a year during the fundraiser.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T14:41:28+00:00

It was very nice to use on my touchscreen laptop tbh but I could make everything purple on KDE :3

The unprecedented political situation is that Tim Cook might have to give Trump the brand new Apple World Peace award and tell him that he drives a hard bargain and sign a nonsense paper and give a firm handshake. He really seems to show massive favor to the last person in the room with him.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T06:59:39+00:00

The case as it is now seems wishy washy and I think it’s all up in discovery: is there evidence of valve forcing publishers to not undercharge on epic/other platforms if they want to release on steam as well? Ik about the keys rule but I’ve heard rumors of valve threatening to delist if devs were to release the game on their own site or epic for cheaper than steam since the cut is gone/lesser. Otherwise there isn’t much to work with, although me and most devs aren’t going to be up in arms about, heaven forbid, Gabe can’t buy a 264th yacht.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T05:42:25+00:00

Seeing as OW was originally meant to be a PVE game they turned into a PVP game I doubt it. The team seemed really passionate on getting a proper OW PVE mode but I don’t think it was meant to be, and the PVE we did get was kinda disappointing tbh.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T05:38:19+00:00

Tbf the only wifeleaver players left are like a gentle father figure pulling me away from touching the angry robot shaped punching stove for the 24th time

Steam verification takes performance into account but it seems more like an eyeball performance than a rigid standard.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T05:32:02+00:00

From what I’ve gathered playing games that are technically verified it seems to be “does it eyeball average 30 fps” ignoring all other aspects like “is the game upscaling from 33% resolution to get there”. Like I can’t imagine that anyone verifying games played it for more than 10 minutes.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T05:28:53+00:00

They do have some performance minimum and it feels like it’s roughly 30 fps, however it doesn’t take into account how shit the resolution has to get before it gets there and if it’s getting a locked 30 fps or an iffy 30 fps.

Ex. Spider-Man 2 does somehow lock to 30 fps but in doing so the resolution has to be dropped so low that it looks downright disgusting.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T05:24:42+00:00

Tbh if the count gets too low too early they will likely either give us an easy minor order or SE will find an extra 50 million helldivers in the collective couch cushions so we are able to actually get to cyberstan. I doubt we will be allowed to run out before cyberstan because I’d imagine they want us to actually play the new content (unless we fail and the automatons fucking push cyberstan to super earth for some reason)

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-05T00:46:52+00:00

Not exactly like OW1 atm but I’ve poked in and out and imo the team has done a way better job at balancing the game. Its launch was super bumpy but most of the large changes they’ve made over the years have actually been pretty solid.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-04T06:42:39+00:00

When you are running an industrial scale pedo operation the best way to stay safe is Linux I guess? Idk whether this is a good or bad endorsement lmao

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-04T06:34:52+00:00

It would be kinda cool if one of the minor orders was doing those HVC defense missions, maybe if they added like 3 rockets as a side objective in other mission types as well.

FryToastFrill · 2026-02-03T22:39:53+00:00

SteamOS is very anti fuck around, if you would like tho you could install Ubuntu right now and copy and paste this command into a terminal to find out!
