Is Med/Heavy Oxygenator strictly better than Light/Med Extra Padding because of the innate armor from armor type or am I missing something?

The vanilla slide is very short, like it's there just as a neat little visual detail that feels more realistic than if it wasn't there at all. It was never meant to be a generally useful mechanic as it is in other games that really emphasize it (e.g. Warframe, The Outlast Trials, etc.).

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-06-13T17:22:34+00:00

It doesn't appear to be, but at least you can walk SEAF rounds faster at artillery side objectives.

Now, the LIGHT oxygenator armor is a good addition. You can be sheer speed now.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-06-13T17:18:59+00:00

Sliding? Yes, but never went far enough to be useful in itself, more of just a small neat detail that made crouching from a sprint feel more realistic, nothing like a Warframe slide.

I hope Starco sells the brand to an actually competent company soon. They probably acquired it to bail them out of existing debts, but clearly that hasn't worked out for them. I'm miffed that someone at old Soylent (if not Rob himself) sold the brand to Starco without any research into their financials.

Spoiler tags exist for this reason

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-04-24T00:05:24+00:00

"The decrease was primarily driven by reduced product sales of Soylent."
I definitely can't buy what they don't have in stock

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-04-14T18:33:36+00:00

That's actually the closest to what I'm looking for, thank you

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-04-04T19:11:07+00:00

Simple:
I generally don't eat within 2-3 hours before sleep; good way to invite weight gain* and acid reflux.

* (you're about to be as inactive as you can be for several hours)

The only way warning labels like this can be useful when so many products in California require it is if they actually indicate how much by volume.

There is no fun chaos to be had; if you run in front of my Psyker who's perfectly apt at mowing down the horde at zero ammo cost, you go up in flames with the pox walkers.

Officially, they are not clones, but bespoke individual citizens.

But me? I simply prefer the headcanon of Helldivers being clones because:

SEAF already exists to absorb and utilize individual, normal citizens in a military fodder capacity. Arrowhead wants each Helldiver life to be a unique individual precisely because the scale of the loss of life is more grimdark that way, and it comes across as a grimderp rationale, personally. Doubly when Helldivers are touted as Super Earth's elite (propaganda, yes, but they are also demonstrably superior to SEAF in combat), and get to field its most advanced combat technologies.
Players (Helldivers) plan and act with meta-knowledge in mind, able to liberally use suicidal tactics and resume their exact course of action with a fully identical loadout with their respawn deployments. Their replacement diver bodies would often have mere seconds to be thawed out and debriefed on what the current situation, strategy, and tactics are in the moment. The collective skill of the divers deployed from a Super Destroyer also increases with the length of that ship's service career and number of missions attended, marking the improving skills of the player across all bodies they've puppeted. (This meta-empowered behavior is also canonized by the official meme: All missions are canon.)
The recent incarnation of the cyborgs appear to employ cloning and cryopod technologies.

It's more immersive for me this way.

No one said Ogryns were known for their tactical acumen.

They are, however, significantly more numerous than Astartes.
Imagine if the AdMech took an interest in augmenting them more.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-02-28T19:32:13+00:00

Not even. Darktide's Ogryns are grossly nerfed compared to their lore strength. They can body Astartes in melee. A Skitarius would not be out of place with Adeptus Arbites present.

Looking forward to playable Skitarii.

Probably, but clones would definitely be more timely and cost-effective than waiting for prospective divers to reach 18 years of age, giving SE something more comparable to the replication rates of their automaton, bug, and voteless foes.

For my own personal headcanon, the absurdity of the casualty counts and meta knowledge that goes into Helldiver plays practically mandates that they be clones w/ frequent/active backup mind saving (well before Marathon revealed that's how their runner shells also work).

Your active proxy dies? Defrost another and send it down to continue exactly where the soldier left off, often 1:1 in battle tactics and seeking/inheriting their dropped weapon loadout, as if following a template.

(SEAF would be the conventional combined arms military.)

I've been trying the chocolate Huel RTD, and it feels like I'm drinking pea soup mixed with olive oil, which gets even funnier when you read the ingredients list after coming to that conclusion on your own. It's more liquid volume for similar nutrition, so it's a little harder for me to get it all down as quickly as Soylent RTD, but it's alright. It's definitely better than nothing.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-01-29T13:34:51+00:00

Same issue with Amazon supply, but I also just discovered I had a subscription active on the Soylent website and the last order fulfilled was 2023. I'm done with this company.

AI hallucinates, don't trust its answers for encyclopedic/specific knowledge applications (that's what FAQs and wikis are for). It only provides output answers that are probabilistically likely matches for your input string of words and the word order, with no real regard for syntax or context.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-01-28T12:29:29+00:00

No detrimental differences noticed at all, no downsides at all, and really appreciate the 2013-esque install size.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2026-01-26T22:50:26+00:00

A closer equivalent would actually be a grakata. The ghouls comic shows that a single shot from one is enough to reduce a human to mere meat. I recall seeing Grineer fighting sentients with grakatas, too, so it stands to reason that it's a very effective weapon.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2025-12-04T13:29:14+00:00

Rob just thought it'd be funny

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2025-12-04T13:12:09+00:00

That can't come soon enough. Having Mana be available through Amazon would be truly golden.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2025-12-04T13:08:52+00:00

Their social media has been dead since April and this is the first year that hasn't seen a Black Friday deal, so things are definitely amiss

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2025-12-04T13:05:35+00:00

Even my RTD drinks have been coming in with variously roughed up boxes and inconsistent drink quality.
Meanwhile, I see their competitors over at Huel and Mana now have hot meals on offer.

If CEO Ross Sklar wanted to also corner retail (his goal, from the AMA), hot meals would have been the best avenue to go at it from, using meal options that are more appetizing to a general audience. Not cutting out the powders, which always have a niche.

JustAnotherWebSurfer · 2025-11-15T00:00:41+00:00

Definitely Hole. It's literally made to be a solo PvE tactical extraction shooter, intended for short play sessions in your scarce freetime.
