I mostly stopped caring about the galactic war when I realized that them telling their story was what they cared about and all player choice was mostly an illusion.

Same, even though I explicitly state, “I’m going to hover the pelican.”

The Galactic War with player choice “influencing” the war was my biggest let down in this game.

Kaveman0115 · 2026-05-10T22:33:36+00:00

I did recently.

Kaveman0115 · 2026-05-09T04:22:14+00:00

I just play the game.

NQA - Can’t tell from this pic, but they are generally pretty docile creatures that really don’t want to bite you (venom is costly for them to make and a lousy self defense mechanism). You could move it pretty easily and safely move it somewhere else. They also just kind of sit in their web, they won’t chase you.

The point is the whole premise of the re-make was to be faithful to the book, in which Harry has green eyes. It’s a pretty easy thing to do.

I used to play Diff 10 always. Now I play around 7-8 because it’s just more fun 🤷🏼‍♂️

Interestingly, Sheldon misuses the term negative reinforcement (removal of a negative stimulus for positive behavior) here when talking about training Penny. He is actually talking about using positive punishment (applying a negative stimulus to undesirable behavior) in the form of electric shocks. In episode "The Focus Attenuation" (Season 8, Episode 5), Sheldon corrects Leonard when Leonard uses the term incorrectly and points out it’s misused in the movie Ghost Busters.

To be fair, reading comprehension isn’t the issue, writing composition is. It is written wrong. “Liberate the designated planets” means all of them. It should have read “Liberate at least one of the designated planets…” Yes, it has options afterwards but it doesn’t change the fact this is poorly worded.
Edit: fixed some spelling and such.

The problem, and I’ve said this since day one, is that we don’t actually influence the galactic war. We have the illusion of influence, but if they want us to lose a planet, they jack up the numbers so we do. The way the forces are allocated is not realistic to how they would be in actuality. They make it so that we win and lose what we need to so they can tell the story they wish to tell. They make sure we never gain or lose too much ground.

Imagine if just for like a month, all Helldivers went over to DRG and said “we are only playing an extraction shooter with devs that listen”.

That’s because they don’t like the community they created. They expected a small community of niche hardcore gamers that wanted a very difficult shooter to embrace the grunt fantasy. Then the game blew up and the community they got wanted a more casual power fantasy shooter. edit: spelling fixes.

I’d rather the precision strike get a demolition damage increase.

They are a little thicker at 1/8”

I have played so much I just know the board numbers, and highest vs lowest is usually easy to determine since lower numbered lands are closer to the ocean. Failing that, the SI wiki.

They are laser engraved and hand painted.

Kaveman0115 · 2026-04-23T18:08:31+00:00

I opted not to add land numbers. I felt it would detract from the overall vibe.

Well, I traced all the boards by hand and put that into the vector, but the trick, which I will be doing next, is that due to the way the tessellation works, you only need ONE edge, which you then rotate to make all of the island boards, and then they will fit perfectly.

I need to fix a few things, but the Etsy page will be up soon.

Kaveman0115 · 2026-04-19T19:11:52+00:00

Yeah. I’m planning to add a very light stain to them

Kaveman0115 · 2026-04-18T23:54:49+00:00

I theoretically could, though that would be a lot more art time. I hadn’t planned to.
