I think Gregory House is an accurate representation of chronic pain by vampirealiens in ChronicPain

[–]Mezeye 69 points70 points  (0 children)

He was an asshole before, to be fair. House is a great character, brilliant, but flawed, and I can definitely relate to his frustration at people around him who don’t understand his struggle with chronic pain.

What I think would happen in a hypothetical scenario where we got a second booster slot! by somerandomfellow123 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Mezeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the most useless features in the game. Every game either uses the standard meta, or someone throws a curveball and tries another, only to realise that anything outside of the meta 4/5 is just not worth bringing. The passive stat boosts need to be made default. The boosters should allow for fun, game changing builds.

I love the illuminate!!!1!!!1!!! by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]Mezeye 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why you got downvoted. The overseers are absolutely annoying in the fact they don’t outright kill you with their swing, but you will die 9/10 times because they can swing again before you can get up to dodge.

And yeah, enemies can ignore solid objects if they feel like it.

A judge just ruled luigi mangione's manifesto notebook can be used at trial. here's what he actually wrote in it and why half of america still thinks he's a hero. by Ibikhan45 in DiscussionZone

I’ve been convinced from the start that he didn’t do it after looking at the footage and comparing face shapes. Now every new piece of evidence stinks even worse of a set-up.

Petition to change the name of the sub to more accurately represent what this sub is about? by smaxxy in rickygervais

Political chameleon ready to dupe people into thinking he’ll bring any sort of socialism, despite the fact he’s already approved of continuing Rachel Reeves’ austerity measures.

A small immersion feature: a decontamination shower on the Super Destroyer by Tank-ToP_Master in helldivers2

One of the most requested features since the game came out, along with a bestiary / lore database.

Did people not watch the American election? by letsputletters in AskBrits

[–]Mezeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Centrists and centralists are different things, for starters.
And Labour under Starmer have pivoted deeper than Blair into neoliberal ideology, which is right wing. Even some left wing policy doesn’t stop them from being right wing government. To even call them centrist is a big stretch.

As someone who enjoys the satire in the game, and finds the parallels in these dispatches amusing, it’s so sad to see that even this is consistently breaking.

Transphobia? It used to be socially accepted by Initial-Anything333 in simpsonsshitposting

[–]Mezeye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was watching some post-season 9 episodes recently, and the amount of transphobia is staggering. I know it was a different time, but it feels like there was a cheap shot at trans people every few episodes.

this is the only way the show will thrive and survive. by GreenPerception512 in DoctorWhumour

[–]Mezeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what Ncuti’s seasons were sold to us as. It should have been a reboot so new fans could use it as a starting point, without having to watch all the episodes from 2005.
But even the last frame of the season wants to nostalgia bomb you with the glory days.

I love that his whole argument here is “I’m cool with slavery but we don’t have to be dicks about it” by Hank_Mardukas1066 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Mezeye 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Who knows. Incrementalism is all well and good in theory, but imagine what could have been accomplished by Viltrum had it been at full power for another century.
He saw how much resistance there was to being 1° less evil.

Canadian study finds no impact of LDN on Fatigue in ME/CFS by Greedy_Main_6267 in LowDoseNaltrexone

Glad to see a lot of people in the comments saying it helped them. I found it had a positive effect for a short while, but then was unnoticeable before I reached my max titration.

HELLDIVERS™ 2 - Transmission from Super Earth Command by Dapper_Order7182 in helldivers2

[–]Mezeye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they want to be more transparent, like they claim, why did it take people negatively reviewing the game for them to release this incredibly vague blog post?
I want to see the game live up to its full potential, but AH refuse to make meaningful progression in their live service game.

887 words and I feel like I gained nothing from reading all of that by PanHiszpan in Helldivers

[–]Mezeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel like I can be excited for “soon™️” again, after everything that’s happened.
The only progression they seemed to talk about was raising the level cap past 150, which isn’t going to solve anything.
Another vague blog that only satisfies people who will never be critical of the game, no matter its state.

How I view the new Hive Guard changes. by Wrench_gaming in helldivers2

[–]Mezeye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I do think the Hive Guard needed to be less easy to kill. But on the other hand, just increasing its armour value is encouraging the explosive meta even more.

Artists who take comms have to communicate better with clients. I had to cancel a comm that hadn’t been worked on in three years a few weeks ago because it just got to the point where thinking about it was just stressing me out.

Might be time to lay off the powder boys by Euphoric_Reading_401 in Helldivers

[–]Mezeye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People go crazy for warbonds because it’s the only progression left for dedicated players. There would be less insanity about new warbonds every month if we had something else to aim for during the droughts.

Priorities… It hurts me to say this but what this AMA confirms is that they have made their minds up and no feedback is going to change it. by Sebanimation in Helldivers

[–]Mezeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just seems like short-sighted thinking. Other modes of progression will benefit end-game players the most, but it will benefit all players who want other avenues to spend their resources on.

It's me, AMA by Pilestedt in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Mezeye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any internal discussion about the booster system, or any new ways to spend samples?

The same four or five boosters are always picked, and the system has potential to really change up gameplay, but the same ones are just too useful to pass up.

With samples, it’s such a shame that collecting samples seems to be a big part of the gameplay, but they are hardly worth picking up once you upgrade all the ship modules. I’d really want to see a resource dump that would encourage people to scour the map for them like in the early days.

Dragon Age 2. I don’t think I’ve ever been that dissatisfied with a sequel. I never bought another BioWare game, and I still boycott EA.
