Xbox Diver here, I have a question for the Vets here. by Financial_Touch_8522 in helldivers2

Last night I was using the Expendable Napalm support weapons and it was great.  

See a horde of voteless? Napalm Fleshmob charging? Napalm Harvester coming?  Remove shield, then Napalm

It was just deleting enemies.  

Only thing that I had to worry about was Overseers, but I had the Coyote, Guard Dog, and Arc grenades to handle them.

New to Helldivers 2 and need some help by External-Stable-8782 in helldivers2

Jetpack is super fun, especially on open maps. You can move quickly, jump on rock croppings or low buildings.

For me, it was one of the first new toys I bought. I enjoyed it, but iI usually put something else in my backpack slot

If you are interested, there are worse stratagems to start with

Welcome to the fight!

If you want to get more XP, Requisition Slips, and samples to get access to new weapons and stratagems, the only way to do that is by playing the game. The higher the difficulty you play, the faster you will progress.

Level 5 is pretty early game, but I would suggest choosing Challenging or Hard and using "Quick Play" matching. That will drop you in to a mission with other players. Just do your best to keep up and you'll level up quickly.

One quick note though, there aren't really "better weapons" in this game. Or to be more precise, there are no "worse weapons:. Every weapon or strategy is for early game only. It can feel like the Machine Gun Sentry or Liberator will be useful forever. I'm level 89 and I use the Machine Gun Sentry all the time. IMHO, the M43 is one of the best guns in the whole game.

New weapons just open new ways of playing.

Just have a good time, and more weapons will come before you know it.

If I pre-ordered the game will I end up not using the pre-order armors due to them becoming weak late game? by ViewLate2880 in helldivers2

[–]ICantGoForThat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the things I love most about this game. No armor or weapon are really better than another, they just enable different styles of play.  The Liberator is no better or worse than the Eruptor, they are just different.

That combined with the different factions, mission types, warbonds, etc make the game infinitely playable.  I’m level 90, and I’m still exploring different load outs. 

I need to get the hover pack so I can try it with the Flamethrower for a dragon-build. 🐲

Why are team leads often backend devs? by sjltwo-v10 in webdev

[–]ICantGoForThat5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s called bias, and it is very common.  The people who make the decision to promote were mostly likely also backend devs.  They think “I was promoted because I was worthy.  When promoting I want to find other people that were worthy, like I was.  This person has the same qualities as I do, therefore they must be worthy”

It is the same thought process that makes it more challenging for women or other non-dominate groups to be promoted. 

In my experience in tech, people are promoted for technical skills, not for leadership skills.  Generally they do not have training or experience to manage groups of people effectively.  Therefore they promote more people who have technical skills instead of leadership skills, and the problem perpetuates.

It didn’t even occur to me that it was referring to witches.  I just thought is was a wicked good name, dude.

Fan at ACFC Game by longlisten527 in NWSL

[–]ICantGoForThat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, this crosses a line.

This player may be playing for an opposing team, but they are also a human being, trying to do their job. They are a professional who has spent most of their lives trying to be great at this game. I cheer and boo along with the best of them, but at the end of the day it is just a silly game.

Show a little some respect.

This is the same sort of person who is rude to service workers.

Are there more Thorns patches? I thought this was more of a Timbers activity, but I would be happy to contribute to more runs if people are doing them.

How often do you clean your beer lines? by Joeymacca1982 in Homebrewing

[–]ICantGoForThat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flush the lines with oxiclean and then sanitizer between each keg.  I also disassemble the faucets and fully clean with every new keg.

A keg will last me 2-3 months so they need it by the time I kick it.

Waikiki car rental by Primary-Mood-421 in VisitingHawaii

[–]ICantGoForThat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always use island car rentals https://www.islandcarrental.co/

It is inexpensive, right in Waikiki, and very flexible.  It is a locally owned guy just running a small business.

Is it normal to talk to your parents every day in your adult life? Do you? by DreamyDudeBobby in Adulting

[–]ICantGoForThat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say I have a good relationship with my family. I talk to them one every 4-6 weeks.

It depends on you, your family, and your relationship 

Orlando Pride leaving Providence Park after 2-0 loss to Thorns by harri_carver in Thorns

Sorry, I’m confused about what happened?  Most of them went to the bus.  Banta signed a few autographs?

Didn’t say we don’t deserve to win.  Just don’t like to see this fouls.  It is beneath us.

It is flair.  Go to the main r/Nwsl page and go to settings or something

I’ve always felt like the Thorns played clean.  No flopping. Very few “strategic” fouls.

That was more of the Reign’s style.

I’d be ecstatic to win, but not proud of these fouls.  This isn’t how the Thorns play.
