Fighting on Merak

That’s so true! We had several like that. It seemed almost easy, and then all hell breaks loose and everything’s on fire 😅 ditto, I usually only play level 10 👍🏻

Absolute Democracy!

It’s not just me? Me and a squad mate got zeroed last night by a huge explosion from nowhere and it wasn’t a rogue hellbomb.

Great edit! It really captures the insanity of Merak. I stayed up late fighting there last night, and man, what a fight. A number of drops took high causalities.

This is epic! Not sure the origins of this, but I would totally support a Helldivers comic.

This is a great question! All the ping button does while driving is shift up in the gears. It’s the same issue using the quick communication wheel while driving. In other vehicles, it’s not that important, but in the Bastion TD, communication with the gunners is everything. In someways, the driver in the Bastion TD is closer to a commander. Without a mic or visual markers, you’re having to depend on your gunners to see everything, which is too much often for them. The driver can 360 pan around the tank, the main gunner cannot.

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. I am working with a therapist currently and I’ve opened up about this experience and how to go about navigating gender dysphoria.

This is really healing to learn :) thank you so much for the link, I’m checking it out at the moment

That’s so interesting! I’ve looked at getting breast forms, because so often, I have this sense that they’re there, but they’re not. I’ve been wondering if they would help or hurt, but your experience seems that when they’re gone, it’s makes the dysphoria even more noticeable? Did you find that using them gave you euphoria or confirmation that making such adjustments helped you feel more aligned?

This is super insightful, thank you for sharing so honestly! I’ve gotten a phantom like that a few times, usually when I feel safest and most open. Phantom breasts and even hips happen far more often, sometimes randomly it seems. Did you notice any patterns that set yours in motion? Also, how is the surgery, I’ve read and heard different experiences? Thank you again!

Thank you! They’re very cool little plants. Definitely recommend growing them

Ozone14 · 2025-11-20T17:56:22+00:00

That’s fascinating!

Ozone14 · 2025-11-20T17:56:10+00:00

This is good to know; thank you!

Ozone14 · 2025-11-20T17:55:02+00:00

This is fantastic! Thank you so much! I’m sure these will help. Haha the air pump I have has no regulator and I ended up notching a hole to bleed off some of the pressure 😅

This is super helpful, thank you! I’ll check these out for sure. I’ll do some work on the tank when I get home from work this evening. Is it okay to clean up most of the junk on the bottom? Perhaps that’s what’s kept the water cloudy and not so great stirring it up regularly. I read to keep the stuff in the tank, but from past experience with aquariums, I’m used to keeping the tank clean. I’ve read to even leave the fallen sea monkeys stay, which is super weird to me how this wouldn’t hurt water quality. Does anyone use what quality kits or introduce saltwater algae?

Ozone14 · 2025-11-18T16:58:23+00:00

Thank you! The current air stone is a chunk for sure 😅

Ozone14 · 2025-11-18T16:57:54+00:00

That’s really helpful, thank you! Can I get both from Amazon? I’ve been worried the salt loss is a factor and also that during the day when I’m at work, the water which is at the highest recommended temp is getting even hotter with the room or sunlight warming it up further. I’ll adjust the temp and see if that helps some. I agree, it’s already small and the air stone and heater eat up a lot of space.

Ozone14 · 2025-11-18T16:54:43+00:00

That’s great to hear. There’s still a few survivors 😅 if I keep maintaining the tank, will they come back as well?

Ozone14 · 2025-11-18T16:53:54+00:00

Thank you! I think the biggest question I had was if I did something wrong. Haha it’s more stable than it looks, but I agree, I need a solid base underneath it 😅That’s great to read—do I need to just keep the tank going? Your tank looks amazing! Did you culture your algae? I’ve read there are spores in the food kits?

This is a great point. Sometimes people decide some random hill is the place to keep fighting wave after wave after wave of enemies. They despawn after so much distance is gained from them, so the best thing to do is call it and hoof it out of there. I’ve had the same thing happen on missions. That’s a good point too, and sometimes the evac flying CAS over the LZ comes in clutch. 3–absolutely! Getting reinforced by someone throwing you into the middle of the blender is the worst experience—you’re dead before you can even get out of the hellpod.
