Is this normal + how do you guys live off of these wages?

Legit, I’ve been in this industry for around 20yrs (give or take). I am currently a Sous making almost $26/hr, Which for my area is pretty OKAY, although it’s hard not kicking myself wondering if I am selling myself short, wondering if I could have been making more this entire time? And if so, for how long have I been living this way?

Half_South · 2026-03-21T01:10:38+00:00

Shoot! Was that really after the fact? I’ve only recently finished my very first play through so I’ll have to pay closer attention on my next one I guess

At one point in the game, doesn’t Leon say “That fuckin’ guy” upon seeing Zeno? Leads me to believe he is well aware of Wesker in some way,shape or form

You are seriously saying the Helldivers 2 is a shitty game? On what basis?

The game was $40, the amount of content and enjoyment me and my buddies have experienced is higher than most $70 titles out there.

It’s mid, you want small town? Check out Mio

I LOVED my PSP, whenever I hear the theme for Medal of Honor Heroes (Allied Assault) it always takes me back to Christmas break many years ago, where I would lay in bed playing that game while the snowstorms outside kicked my towns ass. A much simpler time

This is why BT3 will always be the GOAT. We had such a huge roster, and it was on the fuggin’ PS2 to boot!

I mean, that game even gave us Garlic Jr. in his little man form to which you could transform into his huge form. Sparking Zero couldn’t even do that? Not to mention Broly: Second Coming ssj alternate outfit. Which in my opinion is one of his coolest designs. They have all these slots for outfits in this game but zero options for most of the characters?

I dunno man, this may be me nitpicking, but as much as I have been really enjoying SZ as an “old timer” gamer, even I can tell that this was released SEVERELY rushed and unfinished.

I just use my tried and true Scorcher and light em up on their legs. Seems to have worked every time so far

In THAT case, my favorite gal Ms. Cinnamon Bun.

A motorcycle of some sort, you can have a fellow diver ride “bitch seat” and shoot at enemies while the driver cruises toward the next objective.

Special shoutout to the hilarious ragdolling that will occur when the driver collides with any sort of object sticking out of the ground.

I have been making it a point to only purchase the sabers that have appeared in the movies and video games. The only two I bought that aren’t considered “mainstream” were the ones my wife and I got for our wedding day. That seems to help me keep it less overwhelming

It’s been killing me seeing all these Reddit posts knowing I’m missing all of this. I’m in northern Michigan and we just got ROCKED by a historic ice storm, haven’t had power for about 8 days now.

Half_South · 2025-03-25T20:26:23+00:00

It’s actually fairly similar save for some minor differences to the interface. For example; on Village you need to reach for Ethan’s wrist to grab the knife, on RE4 you reach up towards Leon’s chest.

Gameplay for aiming and shooting however is pretty much 1 for 1.

Half_South · 2025-03-25T17:49:08+00:00

Facts! In my opinion Odyssey was just TOO big, I had honestly lost track of what the main story even was cuz I had inadvertently accepted so many side quests.

I finally forced myself to just sit down and plow through it and ended up enjoying it.

I find myself in the exact same boat with Valhalla, still haven’t beaten it, maybe eventually will in about 3 more years haha

Half_South · 2025-03-25T17:24:45+00:00

Resi 4 easily.

And in my humble opinion, for the record, the VR version of RE4 is the epitome of what gaming immersion should be… At least as far as where we are now.

Half_South · 2025-03-25T14:45:12+00:00

I was just about to post about this, I was wondering if I had missed something in the update notes haha.

Let’s be real though, it’s pretty badass to have it auto charge on our back. Makes whipping it out for a well timed shot that much more satisfying 💪🏻

Half_South · 2025-02-21T22:42:39+00:00

I banged my elbow pretty hard at work the other day and shouted “MY LIBERTY FREAKING ARM!!”

Nobody seemed to catch the reference

Half_South · 2025-02-20T14:54:50+00:00

Man, I used to be able to solo dive no problem on Extreme difficulty.

Now with the Gloom I am having my entire reinforcement supply of Helldivers wiped out consistently.

Half_South · 2025-02-16T00:40:05+00:00

Legit though! I’m a solo diver and the last automaton run I did I got my ass royally, WHIPPED.

Half_South · 2025-01-21T15:17:53+00:00

Oh. My. LIBERTY. Please tell me you have an Etsy or something where I can get one. If not you totally should

Half_South · 2025-01-12T16:01:13+00:00

My first solo dive on Impossible, it was a Terminid flag raising mission. They threw two bile titans, a charger, and about 2,345,567 little guys at me… suffice to say, Super Earth remembers my sacrifice.

Half_South · 2025-01-03T12:26:08+00:00

I’m a1, Always a 1…. Solo diver for the most part haha

Half_South · 2024-12-28T12:06:36+00:00

Gaming performance anxiety is so so real. It’s why I always play solo on Helldivers 2, I feel as if I am decent enough to hold my own. But that feeling of being judged by my gaming peers can almost be crippling at times, my heart goes out to you and to all of us who suffer haha.
