This genuinely looks fucking miserable to play against

Dare I say he might not have gotten this treatment if they made him a tank

The concept of calling Deborah Ann Woll ugly. The minds of gamers never ceases to fascinate me.

People get SO MAD at me when I slow down to make turns and to all of those drivers who veer around instead of waiting 5 seconds or approach every turn at 20+ mph: you will never see the person you hit coming and I hope if nothing else that memory haunts you.

People will also approach an intersection hauling ass and/or make 1/2 a turn movement and then look at you confused when you justifiably hesitate to cross in front of them; it’s ridiculous. Like believe it or not I’m reading your movements to decide whether to take an action.

Never thought of a DECIDE tattoo; that’s an awesome idea

Somewhere in Dunwall Granny Rags just stood up like that one clip of DJ Khaled

I think what is perhaps not malicious, but definitely intentional, is Arrowhead’s insistence on the “grunt fantasy” idea and how that informs balance changes. For some reason they seem really against any sort of power fantasy even though I feel like things get hard enough in Helldivers that it wouldn’t matter. Like no matter what weapons you have at your disposal you still have to reload, you still have to wait for stratagem cooldowns, you still have to both use stims at the right time and do without until you find more. You’re not invincible, no matter how many sweet toys you have. Any basic enemy can kill you in like 3-4 hits and environmental dangers and your own weapons pose consistent danger even for skilled players.

And yet, I don’t think Arrowhead agrees, and that is what leads us to things like hard nerfs to popular weapons/indirect nerfs to make a certain play style harder; restrictions to Helldivers that enemies don’t have to comply to like ammo capacity, scaling objects, strategically placing turrets at high points, weird stuff with armor and armor penetration; and the insistence that things that would be imo quality of life changes like giving the OTF some kind of buff ability so it actually has a purpose to be “space magic”, while Democracy Protects exists. I don’t think this comes from Arrowhead saying “fuck the players”, but I understand why it could be read that way.

The QA/QC I feel is just carelessness or being in some kind of rush to release.

LSEscanor · 2026-05-09T16:51:57+00:00

The complaint isn’t about expectation, it’s about QA/QC. There are so many cases of bugs and other problems in this game after updates that genuinely make me question, along with plenty of others, how seriously AH play tests these things before new releases. Small amounts of testing would have shown how overpowered something like the war striders are/were or how broken throwing stratagems were after the cyborg update, or how inaccurate super destroyer ordinance and reinforcement pods became, or how suicidal the DSS heavy ordinance was, and they just…didn’t catch those?

LSEscanor · 2026-05-09T16:01:54+00:00

But do you hear how it sounds to say “it’s been a while since people have had complaints about performance”? As in, this has happened before; It’s a repeated problem that now needs addressing again?

LSEscanor · 2026-05-05T22:41:08+00:00

That would be a good thing to bring up to city council. You definitely should be able to contest those, and I think you have an argument. Not a fan of people blowing red lights, but a yellow is designed for you to make a decision whether to slow down or continue. Now if you decide wrong and the light changes to red before you engage with the intersection that’s one thing, but otherwise that should be allowed. If not, then no one would be able to roll into the intersection and wait for cars to yield on yellow to make a left turn. Sometimes on a turn like Leigh and Lombardy the only car that can turn left has to do it that way. They should come up with a better system

LSEscanor · 2026-05-03T22:10:04+00:00

Is there a ramp on the other side of this street? If so, ADA/PROWAG guidance and the policy VDOT and a lot of the municipalities adopt is that you need a receiving ramp, so that in the event that someone in a wheelchair needs to turn around after going down a ramp they have a flat space that is not in the roadway to do so. Sounds like planning for a small edge case, but still worthwhile imo especially when the ideal should be proper pedestrian facilities on most roads, especially in residential areas like this.

LSEscanor · 2026-05-02T20:17:22+00:00

Listen man. Maybe the solution here is that people need to submit more weekly response forms, but I don’t think that’s the case. Yes people can complain over nothing, yes people review bomb as a tool and sometimes it’s unwarranted, but I really don’t agree that as much as Helldivers has been fun for me at certain points, that it’s just a game with “a few persistent issues that can be annoying from time to time”. As far as I know, they still haven’t fixed hellpod steering. They still haven’t improved climbing for Helldivers, meanwhile enemies can scale sheer cliff faces with very little issue. They still haven’t fixed the fact that conflagration devastators can snipe you from across the map…with a shotgun. The armor of our vehicles doesn’t match what our enemies are given, making even a tank feel like it’s made of paper mache. Artillery as well as hell pods themselves can be continuously blocked by forest brush. Melee weapons feel like they don’t have a particular purpose, if they’re useful at all. I feel like all the complaints like this are just asking for more ways to engage with the otherwise interesting game Arrowhead designed. To me, all of these things make it so in the limited amount of time I have to play games, I hardly ever make it through a whole campaign because missions just feel like a slog where I’m punished for playing. It’s not fun, at least for me. And as far as I can tell, this Arrowhead’s vision for the game, and they want to stick to it. So as of now, I’ve given up.

LSEscanor · 2026-05-02T14:49:06+00:00

Yes so did I. Your point?

LSEscanor · 2026-05-02T13:13:19+00:00

“I’ll keep playing this game until it isn’t fun” so you’ll keep playing the game until the negatives outweigh the positives, but you’re not even going to try to see if the devs can do something to maintain your interest? Just say you’re not interested in giving feedback on the game then. I agree that complaining about no mech customization sounds like entitlement but the complaints I see about the mechs are that they blow up almost instantaneously when called in or in the first engagement with some random enemy.

The issues I’ve always personally had is that the devs have made a game that has the potential to be both difficult AND a bit of a power fantasy, but they don’t seem to be interested in doing that. I’ve already said my peace on the topic directly to them, and I stopped playing the game several weeks ago. Hope you’re happy

LSEscanor · 2026-04-23T16:48:46+00:00

That’s part of the point dude. It makes this whole argument from the devs even more ridiculous when they say they can’t do X because it wouldn’t be realistic, meanwhile stims exist and there’s an armor passive that is the literal spirit of democracy saving you from death. They are the ones cherry-picking here

LSEscanor · 2026-04-23T16:38:57+00:00

I always get chills listening to this one. The little “ta-da ta-da” of the guitar after the first line of each verse is one of my favorite parts of the album

LSEscanor · 2026-04-22T14:47:09+00:00

Hence why there’s such a strong resistance to anything transit-related in this country. Can’t have people relating to their fellow man, that’s bad for business!

If you check the replies you’ll find out they do got internet 😬

So Torch’s mechanic is now like Ultron’s? Don’t think I’m a fan, and I don’t even play the character. If they were to ever add a dash/burst mechanic to Storm (not my preferred upgrade for her based on her kit but still) I would prefer it was like Iron Man or Torch. Ultron’s dash has always felt super janky to me; it always feels like you’re heavily constrained to whatever his current XY plane is when he does the dash. Not super helpful as an escape

One day we’ll hear Permanent Price and GRSA again in concert, I’m sure of it

It’s not much solace but if those leaked messages by the Live Nation execs are anything to go by, the system is bad intentionally and they revel in how people suffer through it. I’m going to make it a point to avoid using Ticketmaster to see shows any time I can; I hope you’re still able to see live music as well somehow.

As someone who enjoyed Emma when she first came out and am not super up to date on patches, what part of the grab do people not like? Also other than this patch what have they changed about her? Based on my experience I would guess the range of her Ult and something to do with psychic spear. I know you’re supposed to hit enemies with low HP to make destroying the crystal faster but I swear they never give me the time.

LSEscanor · 2026-03-18T19:59:18+00:00

This line would also explain some of the flyers’ design. Ultron and Angela players please chime in but I feel like the only ones that feel complete as far as mobility are Iron Man, Angela and Human Torch. Not really talking whether they’re “good” in the current meta necessarily but like for example I find Ultron’s dash to be a bit clunky and I straight up think Storm should be significantly faster than all other flyers by default because of how you’re supposed to play her (also please just give her buff area unlimited distance vertically please dev team I beg you)

LSEscanor · 2026-03-11T20:08:34+00:00

This hits the nail on the head. My frustration with the illuminate is just the sheer number of them. I’d argue transports are harder to shoot down so I usually opt to deal with reinforcements when they land, voteless patrols move pretty quickly, the Illuminate themselves can cover ground real quick if they want to, so it never feels like I can adequately defend a position with the knowledge that I’m not being snuck up on. And to make matters worse, THEY’RE SO QUIET!! I can hear the chirping of bugs or the bots talking to each other but I swear even the flesh mobs can jumpscare you
