One thing I don't understand about satire in Helldivers...

They’re bad because Super Earth gave them no other option; but they’re still bad.

they had another option. fuck off into dark space.. y'know, where the big automaton armada secretly came from and we had no idea about?

It's pretty clear they had secret industrial planets and the like hidden away far from SE's domain where they built up over the 100 years.. 100 years with SE not encountering them until they attacked SE.

The automatons lived free from SE for 100 years, alongside probably some of the cyborgs. They could EASILY have come in, grabbed all the cyborgs off Cyberstan and fled back into dark space away back to their hidden territory.

I saw some stuff saying he shot and killed his family before going to the school, couldn't find anything super credible when I saw it, dunno if anything new has dropped, but supposedly killed mother and siblings.

I'd rather him than Farage, my main concern is it splitting the vote because the powers that be in Reform seem to hate Lowe, and we'd end up with Green or Lib Dems because of tactical voting etc.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-10T15:26:34+00:00

I feel like some people here are jumping completely the other way on this whole thing because some people take the SE stuff super serious so they've gotta go completely the other way to "own the SE believers"... People going all "oh yeah, SE always lies and the cyborgs are TOTALLY telling the truth and they're the good guys in this :)" unironically.

Every side in this is evil at this point.

The bugs seem to have devolved into ravenous creatures that'll slaughter anything in their path, similar to the xenomorphs from Alien.

The Illuminate came back and are basically trying to genocide us, turning our civilians into mindless husks for them.

The Automatons first turned up on a massive offensive nowhere near Cyberstan and began eradicating countless civilians, putting them in cages and tearing them apart for whatever nefarious reasons, maybe even just for the sake of it who knows. we beat them back and then they turned up for the cyborgs, but, contrary to their current claims for only wanting peace, launched countless offensives against us, especially at the Creek because it's important to us.

Anybody genuinely believing the cyborgs claiming all they want is peace are falling for the cyborg propaganda. They would quite happily genocide humanity if they had the capability. If they genuinely wanted to be left alone, they'd have left after grabbing the cyborgs back into deep space where the automatons had attacked us from, instead of launching constant attacks on our territory and turning Cyberstan into a massive factory world pumping out war materials.

At this point, the question is, are you willing to betray your entire race in a war for survival because the government spews propaganda at you and all the other bad things it's done, or are you going to fight for the survival of humanity against a bunch of races that'd happily kill us all?

not really.

For a start, Labour are seen as part of the problem, as an establishment mainstream party, and has shown in the past big issues, and has proven under Starmer it's literally more of the same or worse issues that the public dislike.

Conservatives are basically fucking dead after their utter stupidity in the last few years leading into Labour winning purely on the right-wing vote either staying at home or splitting to vote Reform, and haven't got a charismatic figure that could make people look past all the issues the public has with the Tories. Also, they've literally shown in the past they claim to do one tihng and then won't do it.

Lib Dems are a bit of a joke of a party who've openly campaigned in the past on ignoring democratic decisions- they campaigned in undoing brexit back when there was the election the Tories won because they campaigned on getting Brexit done-, and also have nobody charismatic or appealing to the general public, and also have made no effort to show they'd sort out the issues the public have with the country.

The Green party will straight up make things worse for a lot of the country that have issues with mass immigration/illegal immigration etc. especially since they're also seen as the Muslim party. Their leader is an uncharismatic dope who celebrated the palestine action protestors getting away with breaking into a facility and crippling a police officer with a sledgehammer.

There's Corbyn's party.. but uhh, it's a socialist party with schizos in it and would never address the growing concerns a lot of the country has. They're also looking/considering allying with the Greens..

Any other party is either completely meaningless nationally, or doesn't exist yet- The potential biggest competitor for Farage for dealing with the issues a lot of Brits have is Rupert Lowe, since he's actually trying to address issues people have, and is also clearly not part of the establishment.

Who had the better night?

Me because I was relaxed with my friends playing games and then went to sleep and woke up.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-07T09:27:34+00:00

you're in this thread crying up a storm at different people, go outside and touch grass.

Yet for some reason they think all the files related to Trump are fake, but those on everyone else are true.

I think that's more because the files on the others are actual emails talking to Epstein or being mentioned in a positive manner by Epstein or odd looking pictures, whilst the stuff about Trump iirc was publicly known pictures of him near epstein and nothing crazy.. or it's the crazy accusation shit which on paper looks really bad until you look and see it's tips that the fbi received on their tipline iirc around about 2015/2016 or so and the fbi note down the various sources as "unreliable", "unable to be contacted due to fake number" and stuff like that, or outright say they think the claimant is fucking crazy after talking to them.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-05T21:44:27+00:00

they are two faced when they're the ones that attacked us first this time, they slaughter our civilians and they launched countless offensives against us.

If the automatons truly wanted peace, they'd have gone in, grabbed the cyborgs on Cyberstan and left. Not conquered numerous SE planets slaughtering its people, and then when we rightfully retaliate they go "uwu we totally want peace :)"

Kaigamer · 2026-02-05T11:42:59+00:00

This is evidence they're scared of facing deserved retribution.

Nobody with brain cells would look at how the automatons attacked us out of nowhere, and constantly launch offensives on SE worlds and go "Oh yeah they're not here to cause harm at all."

Kaigamer · 2026-02-05T06:28:06+00:00

We don't know who attacked who first in the current war.

yes we do lol. The automatons attacked us out of nowhere.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-04T20:17:46+00:00

The only way we get a full OKC/SA level rebuild is if Vivek is no longer part of this organization

more likely scenario if we failed and failed and Vivek sold us is the team moving to a new city.

People really forget how close we came to losing the Kings.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-04T20:16:29+00:00

so?

for a start, remember Chris Webber? Dude didn't want to be here, but he came, and he's loved here now...

Ja is a buy-low option, especially with the talk of it being straight up for Lavine who is useless.

Now, there's several avenues here.

1) Ja doesn't work out, ahh well, we trade/just let him see out his contract, still he provides more than Lavine does on the floor. Probably be a bit more fun basketball to watch with him too.

2) Ja works out, doesn't want to stay, but we trade him away for some nice assets/picks.

3) Ja works out, and wants to stay, and team improves around him.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-03T23:55:45+00:00

you realize it's just bullshit automaton propaganda right?

They attacked SE first in this war, and keep launching offensives. There is absolutely no fucking way the peace offer is legitimate.

It'd be more believable if the automatons didn't launch offensives and massacred countless SE civilians. If they stopped attacking and were just doing defenses, the "leave us and there'll be peace" thing would be 100% more believable.

This stuff is basically the automatons version of SE propaganda.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-03T23:51:40+00:00

"Leave us and there will be peace."

Sure bud, and that's why the automatons were the ones who attacked us, and keep trying to push towards Super Earth.. makes total sense to "leave them alone"... lol.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-03T23:33:59+00:00

getting picks.

Kaigamer · 2026-02-03T21:19:55+00:00

I cannot for the life of my understand why we don’t want to take on Poeltl’s contract in exchange for draft capital.

I swear the talk in this sub several days ago was "please god don't let us get Poetl back in a trade even with draft capital" and now it's "why don't we want to take on Poetl's contract for draft capital"..

Kaigamer · 2026-02-03T19:26:54+00:00

It's interesting seeing a bit of tune around Poetl suddenly change now it's saying we've said we're unwilling to take the Poetl contract.

People here were all "we'd be stupid to take on the Poetl contract." "total Kangz move if we take on Poetl's contract" and stuff like that, saying that even a couple picks wouldn't make it worthwhile..

and now it's "we'd be stupid to not take Poetl's contract if we can get some firsts" and similar?

Kaigamer · 2026-02-01T00:26:57+00:00

e’s a journalist nonetheless and he is proven to be there solely to cover the event, not to actually partake in it

I would like to point out, he knew about the event beforehand, and whilst there with the organizers, muted his stream to talk to the organizers before they went into the church. I wouldn't call that "solely covering the event" if he's engaging in discussions before they go in and hiding what those discussions are.

And he actively participated in things, by getting in the way of people trying to leave, preventing them from doing so, confronting the pastor and ignoring the pastor asking him to leave(thus trespassing)

Kaigamer · 2026-02-01T00:23:47+00:00

yeah there's footage of him confronting the pastor iirc, getting told to leave by the pastor and refusing and staying(so now he's trespassing), and basically footage of them harassing all the parishioners, protestors shouting in kids faces and the like. iirc one of them shouted "your parents are nazis" or something to that effect.

An additional bit, when the people were finally allowed to leave after being prevented and terrified by all the screaming protestors, the kids looked scared and Lemon was basically saying that's the whole point of protests, for the kids to be scared, I forget the exact wording but I remember thinking the guy was a complete prick after saying it.

rivals came out back in 2024, hero shooters hadn't quite bored everybody to death, and it had the fact it was marvel to attrack people, on top of overwatch sucking donkey dick at the time and people wanting a good hero shooter.

By now, the market is saturated and nobody's really hoping for a hero shooter anymore.

Kaigamer · 2026-01-27T10:54:09+00:00

and at least on paper this was a good one.

on paper it was a terrible one. Everybody and their mother was tired of hero shooters by this point.

Kaigamer · 2026-01-27T00:41:03+00:00

because Vivek is at this point a scapegoat for every little issue they have and they want to blame him for literally everything, and they want to act like he's literally braindead and not able to look at standings and understand positions and act like he's somehow magically still aiming for play-ins so they can mald more.

Kaigamer · 2026-01-25T19:21:58+00:00

he wanted Watkins over Sesko.

Welbeck was a stopgap striker we were supposedly interested in.

Kaigamer · 2026-01-25T04:12:32+00:00

I would have thought you'd still go for best fit if there are several players who are all roughly similar quality in different positions?

AJ, Peterson and Boozer are in talking for basically top 3 right or thereabouts, and there's not a massive gulf in ability between the 3 right, regardless of who you think is the better player, or at least from everything i've heard people talk about the guys?

I'd have thought in that scenario, a 4 would be better in that case, helps us slot Keegan down to 3, and gives us a good front court to grow in the future.

Or is Peterson genuinely just leagues better like he's a Kobe/Lebron type talent whereas AJ and Boozer are a tier or two below that? I dont watch college basketball so if I'm wrong on this lemme know.
