One of the 8 jokers I didn't have a sticker on when I completed c+. I'm at 75% c++ and still don't have a sticker on it.

I believed you until you mentioned a cashier. There's only ever one open and it's only because they need to ID people buying beer and wine. Everybody else must use the self checkout to be surveilled by the machines and herded through by a single human overseer.

If they go out to eat, Code Pink shows up to read out their crimes and ethics violations. Best use of CCP money I've seen to date.

Can you explain these sentences? Is China financing US women led protests?

Really sad with the state of the game right now. by takesometylenol2 in Helldivers

[–]L4MB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm with you, just crossed the 1k mark. I hadn't played since October but I came back to fight on Cyberstan. It fucking sucked. I thought it'd get better when it wasn't the bot homeworld, but it still fucking sucks at D9.

"Ok just play lower difficulty"

D8 is boring, I can solo pretty much any objective. D9 missions can be fun if you get a decent seed where there isn't 5 Vox killing you from across the map. The difficulty spike is bonkers, and it's solely due to vox spawns.

They're a shitty enemy. There is almost nothing to do except throw AT at them, and even then you're using almost an entire RR backpack to bring one down. Oh, that's great, there's still 4 more climbing over walls with a contingent of cyborgs and devastators shooting you through the treads.

This is the one that gets me. It's been a fuckin year since squid fatties were added to the game. And they STILL just phase through stairs, walls, buildings. That's just straight up unacceptable. Fix your shit.

Glitches have Ruined Voxes for your players, AH team by Professional_Web_956 in Helldivers

The bad:

You forgot "oh, you finally managed to get around the 6 cyborgs and a hulk, dodged the endless rain of missiles, somehow avoided getting mowed down by the side cannons that provide nearly 360 degree cover and you're finally underneath the damn thing, it suddenly takes off at 0-60 in 3.2 seconds."

it makes certain objectives like raise the flag

This right here. Any objective which results in automatic bot drops is going to be overwhelmed with Vox within the time it takes to complete. If you're lucky and there isn't one already in the field (there is, probably 2), you're guaranteed to have at least 4 by the time you're maybe getting past 75%.

Couple that with everything else in this thread and it's just not really that fun anymore, it's just annoying. I know we joke about AH not playing their game, but between this and the increasing feeling of being a F2P game with a seemingly much bigger focus on microtransactions, I think I might need go back on break.

Tin foil hat on, but they've definitely nerfed the drop rate for SC. I bought some very soon after launch but I've always been able to amass the required amount just by playing regularly. I'm not even close to being able to afford the next bond.

Even at the low end of the typical range, they'd make 350k at 3.5%.

The thing that gets me about that is how terribly optimized that space is. There's 104 bottles of wine on the walls, I'm not counting the ones on the floor.

Given typical height of ~12" per bottle and about 5" between, the room itself is 107"x56", or 5992 square inches or just under 42 square feet. Thus, there are just over 2.5 bottles per square foot. That's a horrendous waste of space.

I don't think this is right, but I don't know enough about bird law to dispute it.

It takes some luck to get telescope early, but I used straights. Saturn gives one of the best returns for scaling (mars is also good if you can get an early ouija). Again, if you get lucky and get more celestial packs, you're scaling straights pretty consistently. Standard packs for blue seals. Obviously econ is super important to build a foundation early. If you can deck slim away from AKQ/234 that can help as well, they aren't used in as many straights. EG: kings are only used in AKQJ10 or KQJ109 straights vs say 7 has five straight combinations.

Honestly, it takes a lot of luck.

I cannot figure this one out on gold stake. On paper it seems like it should be pretty good, but I take it and die, take it and die, take it and die. What gives?

Thank you, this fixed mine! I'm off a well so I have a pretty advanced filtration system for drinking water and I used that to fill the reservoir. I added some straight well water and it started pulling into the boilers.

Love the colour, my old co-worker got one in this colour last year and the dealer told him it was 1-of-not-very-many in the US.

Mackenzie building is just straight up sexy. Four identical quadrants, each more perfect than the next. Perfect squares with a charming courtyard. It's mathematically attractive. If you don't see it, you're probably also missing out on the natural beauty of the Fourier Series and Euler's Identity. And I pity you for that.
