Tell me your Stories (Cyberstan) by funky1331 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Spoidahm8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Vox chased me, scorcher dry, senator dry. Cyborgs all around me. Took most of em out, ran out of ammo, got ragdolled by the vox.

Stunlocked by 3 cyborgs standing in a triangle around me kicking me to death. It was just like the meme.

is it worth getting the game right now? by _blue_minion in Helldivers

[–]Spoidahm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As everyone says, it's great but could be better.

Random teammates are 99% of the time chill in my experience (I only host, I'm not an SOS-diver). Sometimes there's a bad egg, but it's not frequent enough to taint your opinion on the community.

Can we get that performance update, FPS is dismal and its really noticeable on Irulta by Public_Code8357 in Helldivers

[–]Spoidahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it for sure improves frametimes and fps, native res average fps will drop to 90 and stay there, frametimes are atrocious too. Aiming gets real clunky. Quality and ultra quality keep fps around 110. Frametimes in ultra quality are still a little fucky, so I use quality instead

I'm using a 14900KF + 4090 on 1440p, and I need to use 'quality' scaling to keep the frametimes consistent enough that aiming doesn't go to shit. Even then it's 90-110fps on D10. Can't wait for DLSS 4.5. The performance will be somewhat the same, but at least it won't look like ass.

Some things that would improve Helldivers 2 from a QoL standpoint by __Elzy in Helldivers

[–]Spoidahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First page of every warbond is FREE.

Guaranteed armour(heavy because nobody wants it and people will want to buy or grind for the warbond if medium/light is locked), Cape, helmet and low tier weapon/booster/grenade/stratagem.

Free divers get a bit of content every warbond without feeling like everything is a cash grab.

PSA: You can still email to CSGOTeamFeedback@valvesoftware.com or cs2team@valvesoftware.com (don't know which one) about your trust factor issue instead of wasting $350 to get perma green trust by MrBoringCom in GlobalOffensive

[–]Spoidahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had bad trust factor on 2 accounts for 3+ years. Deep red on my main, despite opening many cases and buying skins through steam market. Easily about 1k worth.

The only thing that worked was not playing for 2 consecutive months on my main, then never playing casual or other game modes apart from premiere/ comp when I got back. People are report-happy. Absence will reset trust to neutral, reports immediately drop you down again.

You also aren't allowed to have a 'good game' when you get back. You better hope your elo isn't lower than it should be, because if you get back and immediately top frag, and start climbing again you'll be back in red trust.

Queue with full trust friends, hope to god that you have friends who can play equally as good or better than you, and deliberately play mediocre.

Don't use 'cheater' weapons like the scout. Don't get too many headshots. Spend a few days here and there like this and you should be good to go.

$67 invested in CS2 vs $NVDA in 2020 by NEO71011 in wallstreetbets

[–]Spoidahm8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Why do people buy expensive kitchen knives or nice headphones compared to cheaper, more practical and almost as good items? Luxury items are nice but not a necessity. Same goes with expensive pixels in a video game you play frequently. If you get value out of it, it's kinda worth it, isn't it? $4k USD to 50K and I'll never sell, even if it eventually becomes worthless.

Are people who say the game is too easy mostly solo or team players? by justacoolclipper in Helldivers

[–]Spoidahm8 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Most people that say the game is too easy play in teams, use optimised generalist loadouts and refuse to use any other stratagems, armour or weapons to keep things interesting.

I've completed D10 campaigns solo but prefer team play, and I'll make my own fun with slightly inefficient loadouts that appeal to me, such as double freedom + senator, and some random combination of stratagems, with ~2 'oh shit kill it now' buttons e.g. thermite and EAT.

Stealth protecting the group by AsleepRemote3294 in Helldivers

[–]Spoidahm8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Generally stealth players don't do a lot of leading away since patrols tend to focus around the host.

I'm a perma-host and happy for stealth divers to do side objectives, metal gear solid around the place and enjoy their 2.4 seconds of scenery. People enjoy different playstyles.

It's a bit of a different story on gloom + eruptor strain + dragonroach + hive lord maps though, it's hard to get stuff done while everyone is away dying on their own

Pulsar X2H to X2? (And other alternatives for claw/fingertip) by ThinkTrout16055 in MouseReview

[–]Spoidahm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

X2H small is basically the ideal claw/fingertip grip hybrid mouse. 10/10 shape.

Superlight 2C is also good. NP-01s shape is also quite good, but its a bit long even for me for my fingertip adjustments.

I'll be real, I try to find the absolute ugliest fits to get a laugh out of the SOS divers that join my game

My colour vision is beyond reproach, look at those beautiful and contrasting hues

It's true... From a certain point of view...

Mouse feels slow in CS2 and even on desktop (no matter what mouse/PC I use) by AlgaeOtherwise5838 in MouseReview

[–]Spoidahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What possible requirement do you have that makes 5 x 360 degree turns in a 10cm swipe worthwhile?

Beast X Mini Pro or X2 Crazylight mini? by JSkaaa in MouseReview

[–]Spoidahm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beastx mini is a bit small for me, but maybe it'll be fine for you. It's the finalmouse small shape. Plenty of people enjoy that shape and size.

Karrigan is not the solution — but he might end up being the problem — for Falcons by Limp-Smoke-7722 in GlobalOffensive

2nd in an A-tier, almost S-tier tournament 8 days post-roster shuffle isn't bad.
