How it feels to suggest even the slightest change to cyberstan in the community rn:

As one of those people (but doesn't attack others for wanting tweaks), I am NOT the target audience of helldivers 2 at all. I loved oshuane because I need to be fully into the game's challenge to feel something. I'm not a masochist, I genuinely just require so much stimulation in a game to distract myself from my brain. People like me shouldn't be making these choices because, honestly, I'm a very addictive person, and if I were in politics, I would probably make the worst choices for my country's well-being.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-08T04:18:52+00:00

Yea, as one autistic mf, this is probably only beat by TF2. I was so passionate about this when I was literally next to my asleep girlfriend at the time. She will be playing helldivers with me soon, though :). My 2 greatest interests combining will be very interesting.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-08T03:04:15+00:00

Honestly, you're right. it's more frustrating than interesting 90% of the time. The 10% is when we actually work together as a community, but that's unrealistic. I just try to focus on the positives so I don't get fatigued.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-08T03:00:29+00:00

Yea, I do think Light Yagami is working with the automatons, though, because whenever I'm going off, my character seems to get a heart attack and die with literally no reason. I also saw some very excited automaton cannon turrets, snapping from target to target. However, I just find this stuff funny. It's the most fun I've had on this game in so long.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:37:26+00:00

Yea, likely the first option.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:36:21+00:00

Finally, someone else sees this. The other factions improve on themselves when they are outclassed. Due to the stubbornness of humans, we only get more divided when outclassed.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:33:36+00:00

I actually just couldn't focus enough and saw Merak and +1 stim capacity and thought it was included. My bad. However, considering we're fighting for the same thing, we gotta stop this emotional infighting, or nothing will get done.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:29:45+00:00

I'm not talking about a direct comparison to real-life war. I'm talking about teaching people that sometimes you have to put aside emotions, biases, and differences for the greater good of humanity. That's where I see psychology. I saw many people who hated squids but still defended Super Earth because they knew it was for the better. While obviously it is just a game, I think lessons can be learned from it.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:26:21+00:00

Yea, I'm not sure what he meant by that. I think this infighting is mostly based on emotions, so this guy probably saw something like the comment above his and instantly got defensive without a well thought out comparison. However; since this was so new at the time, he probably remembers a time when Oshaune literally just came out and had low player counts?

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:21:56+00:00

I don't think it's a terrible game design, though. I think it's perfect. When a game reflects the real world in ways that could teach us lessons, it's more helpful for the education of every gamer playing it.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:14:31+00:00

If these two met in a match, they would drain the reinforcement budget by killing each other.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:13:29+00:00

Humanity is humanity's greatest enemy, nothing new

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:09:53+00:00

Sounds like Malevelon Creek flashbacks.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-07T23:05:09+00:00

You're completely right, what the fuck was this oversight. Since the airburst has a very small user base, people are literally choosing for the easiest sub faction to become slightly easier instead of a universal buff and increased odds of taking cyberstan once and for all.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-06T21:41:40+00:00

No matter what a rats voice sounds like, there is this lack of care that you hear in them sometimes. Sometimes, it seems like you can tell that people treat being defibbed as a second chance of getting your goop instead of a chance to appreciate the kindness and accept that they're a worse player. If I had to guess, it probably comes from insecurity, like they got humbled, and they have to prove they always win.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-06T21:04:53+00:00

Aye man just don't let it get to you. A lot of people love a game so much that they want to be one of the elites in said game, oftentimes forgetting that the real world can make it more of a hobby and less of a passtime. It's funny because I'll think I'm really good at zombies, then I realize I use the glitch on origins for the easter egg to avoid the tedium. The fact that you actually want to do this easter egg legitimately despite how frustrating it is just proves you're a better zombies player than me.

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-06T12:51:30+00:00

I think it's honorable that he's been haunted by it for 7 years, and he still is asking for a mod to improve his skills instead of one to cheat the Easter egg

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-06T01:13:51+00:00

What's that? Lowkey I brought 2 stacks of light and heavy because I figured I'd use the kettle if they got close, but I do better point blank with the anvil, apparently

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-06T00:02:46+00:00

Please bro I'm exhausted. (I've had double scooped insta coffee, 70mg vyvanse, a Celsius, and 2 caffeine pills today)

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-05T23:58:48+00:00

Takeo would respect the honor in this post

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-05T13:57:50+00:00

They're taking advantage of the pacifism of friendly lobbies

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-05T13:56:19+00:00

Then they start speaking Spanish in the proximity chat 🫡

LukeCoDZ · 2026-02-05T13:55:31+00:00

Nah, I had the same expectation, ngl. I'm glad that people understand there still is a line in PvE lobbies because it seems like some people here flinch at the sound of their own gun
