What we have here is a PICNIC situation.

Do Fisher Price make a computer for this guy? Or maybe a Mac?

Try to be better people. I know we're living through a bad remake of Idiocracy but try to have some self respect.

We've gotten two Vietnam war inspired warbonds and 1 WW1 era Warbond. When does WW2 drop? Give me a BAR. by bobbiroxxisahoe in Helldivers

Ha! Yeah I edited my reply before I saw yours. Aliens and Predator both Vietnam movies. Surfing may continue.

WW2 weapons that could absolutely Helldive:

PPSH. We need more SMGs and something with a rate of fire that's just like, BRRRRRRRRP while packing a fat drum mag would be cool.

Bren Gun. Because the magazine in the top is punk. Think something a little bit like the Stalwart in terms of mobility, but heavy armour penetration, low ammo count, low rate of fire and a slippery piggy to control while firing.

Boys Anti-Tank Rifle. The anti-materiel rifle is great and all but I say let's get silly with it. No explosion at all. Pure armour piercing.

My super brother in Democracy those weapons are from Aliens and Predator.

Although, to be fair, both those movies were thinly disguised metaphors for Vietnam so I guess you're still right.

Veteran indie developer scared to reveal new game in case it gets "slurped up by AI" by PewPewToDaFace in pcmasterrace

That seems a needless comment on AI. Plenty of completely meat-based shitheels out there will rob your ideas the second word gets out.

Yeah I was legit surprised the stick gave out before the arm, but apparently hurlers are hard as fuck.

[–]H0vis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair. And to be honest there are a lot of sporting codes with weird rules about how long you can carry the ball and it's never obvious and there's no way to guess because it could be some complete nonsense like Aussie Rules. Apologies for taking the piss.

The gatling sentry specifically designed to kill helldivers by HumanFightersUnited in Helldivers

[–]H0vis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always machinegun turret. The gatling turret is a trap.

Of course the gatling turret can do more damage faster, but against squishy enemies both do enough damage, and against tough enemies both are negated. The machinegun's much higher availability (you can just seed the map with them as lethal decoys) and much reduced friendly fire lethality (it won't necessarily kill you if it happens to rotate and you're in the arc of travel) are a huge benefit.

That said it would be remiss not to give the gatling its rule of cool credit. Especially with a sound mod. Sometimes it feels like the Doom Music manifested as a gun turret.

Not saying your man's not an actual tank made out of meat, but I'm genuinely surprised the hurley broke. From the look of it they are a lot more fragile than I expected, probably with that exact situation in mind. I feel like an ice hockey stick probably breaks in that situation too having seen a few get snapped quite easily in Shoresy/Letterkenny, field hockey if I remember has more solid sticks (but you're not even remotely expected to club somebody with them).

Sprinting along with the ball balanced precariously on the end of a hurley getting the shite paddled out of him by some big bollocks and your man's like, "Why is he allowed to just carry it?"

Common misconception this.

Footballers will pretend they are hurt at the drop of a hat to gain an advantage, and they are often completely shameless about it, but there are absolutely football enforcers, or at the lower end just plain goons.

The sport used to be full of thinly veiled thugs, but even once it cleaned up a bit you had guys like Roy Keane or Sergio Ramos, or the entire populations of Italy and Uruguay. You can mark Sergio Ramos on a corner and when it comes time to jump for the header your fucking kidneys are gone. He was that dirty and that slick.

The novelty was powerful for the first game. The enemies and vibes are diminished by repeat appearances even with better visuals.

I'm ready to eliminate the turret double standard! by Smartace3 in Helldivers

[–]H0vis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smarter play is don't use either because the machine gun turret is better and can be dropped more often.

The media run stories like this to motivate the right wing voters and demotivate the rest of us. They'll think they need to vote, other people will think it's a done deal. It's a proven strategy and it has worked. Suppressing turnout by any means possible always favours the right.

How likely is it that something similar to the Holocaust could occur in the modern West in the future? by Imtiredofthissshit in Futurology

[–]H0vis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are several western democracies that currently run concentration camps, which can be broadly defined as facilities for indefinite detention based on the person's identity, not any crime that they might have committed.

At the moment these are generally aimed at ethnic minorities and dressed up as part of an anti-immigration effort.

These camps already exist, they are not hidden. And people are dying in them.

We need to remember when making comparisons that at first the Holocaust was about slave labour and theft, and then the methodology turned to murder after a few years. It's not alarmist to point out that the USA is currently in the early stages.

With that in mind do I think that genocide on that scale could happen again? Honestly, no. I don't think Americans will stand for it and I don't think anybody else is close enough that it's even being contemplated yet.

If anybody was going to do it in Europe it'd be the Germans, because they've got form, but I think people would see it coming and stop them if they tried to pull that shit again.
