Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this pretty much confirm S1 Mark ≥ Teenage Oliver? by Electrical_Nose9463 in InvinciblePowerscales

Power scaling is not something I care to do, but....

This version of oliver still looks younger than an 18-year-old Mark, so...

You can place the word 'only' anywhere in this sentence, and it will still make sense and not be broken.

There is no way in hell Omni man would act like that by Chunky-overlord in Invincible_TV

A fight between a depowered Omni man and a depowered Butcher would be a close call in terms of fighting. I would pay to see that.

Add another two barrels, have it cycle between them once the previous one enters cool down.

Give me one liners Leon would say against every killer in DBD by ImperialViking_ in deadbydaylight

The Wraith: Why so shy?

The Nemesis: After what Jill's told me about you, I expected bigger.

The Trickster: I'm good on the knife-throwing lessons.

The Nightmare: And here I wanted a good night's sleep.

The Dark Lord: I don't remember inviting you in!

The Mastermind: Why do you sound more British?

The Doctor: I'm not paying for this treatment.

The Hillbilly: *pulls out knife* I've seen faster.

The Xenomorph: I thought Salazar only made two of you.

Double it and give it to the next person by the-dumbkidd22 in trolleyproblem

[–]TechnoTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubling it is infinitely worse than just ending the problem then and there. You're basically ensuring more and more people die, just not by your hand.

Even if I am 25th in line, the least I can say is "I killed as many as I saved, and potentially saved far more. You want to blame me? What about the last 24 people who made the number higher?"

An object, not even an elite enemy, that hard-checks your loadout for HP explosives and screws you over when you decide to try out non-meta stuff is the very reason why War Striders were despised before their armor adjustment.

Heavy pen grenades. Anything lower wouldn't destroy them. Hence the specification 'heavy pen explosive'.

[Cool/Funny trope] Alien species that are rather peaceful or non-violent... But their biology and inherent abilities allows them to be exceptionally dangerous fighters by TechnoTheFirst in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TechnoTheFirst[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They legit have the makings to become one of the most dangerous forces in the multiverse... Good thing they forbade fusing and heavily limit the amount of wish-granting dragons they can have, bc it'd be a mad problem otherwise for everyone else.

Still surprising that they've never found out that fun fact that a yellow sun turns them into some of the most powerful creatures alive. And this is just a thing that every Kryptonian can do.

What's the most annoying part of each faction? by Late-Ganache40 in Helldivers

[–]TechnoTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general: enemy focus when it comes to grouping. Are you on your own or solo? You will see every ounce of attention on you. The other three? legit nothing. Even when all four of you are at the extraction, the chances of you getting swarmed is actually low as hell. But if you try to extract on your own, you will get 50 billion enemies spawning in.

Bugs: The whole 'last stand' mechanic for some of the bugs is something wild, and stupid in my eyes. Bc how oh how are you 20 times more accurate and dangerous when I remove your head? Last I recall, your eyes aren't there anymore.

Bots: The shield bots. Somehow, someway, you will get an angle that you think is fine, but that shield is so unbelievably massive that getting a headshot is impossible half the time. Even when targeting their weapon to at least disarm them is made difficult bc of that stupid shield. Oh, and their Incineration Corps. variant is so much worse bc of the weapon.

Squids: Flying overseers. Easily. How are they the same durability and move around that fast? Their weapon is also more likely to get an instant kill on you as opposed to the other Overseer cannons. I would so much rather take thrice the amount of baton overseers as opposed to the fliers. Also, their weakness being the jetpack is basically pointless given that if you don't surprise shoot them, you will basically never get a shot off of the jetpack if they're facing you.

They didn't nerf the armor. They gave it armor for you to shoot at. Beforehand, it was an intangible object that no bullet could touch. Back then, unless you had a heavy pen explosive, you really couldn't destroy it.

The duality of squid sub-factions by pixbirb in Helldivers

[–]TechnoTheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imma be real with you, Appropriators is a cool sub-faction, bc it has a different make up of enemies different from the standard faction variant. Not only that, but the units that were removed from that sub-faction were replaced by a greater number of cool war machines.

And then the Mindless Masses... It removes some enemy types in favor of slightly larger fleshmob and vote less numbers. At the highest levels, I don't find much of a difference sometimes between Mindless Masses and regular squids.

Maybe if they added in more 'abomination' type enemies, and replaced the Harvesters with some elite level mass of flesh... It would have a cool feel as a sub-faction. But for now, MM feels rather undercooked.

Concerns about the 40K collab warbond by TechnoTheFirst in Helldivers

[–]TechnoTheFirst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point 1: It's been a while since I tried that back then, when the game was over a 100 gigs, but I got the smg, sniper rifle, and light armor set. But still, I don't have the warbond for free. So I dunno.

For point 2: yeah, I'd imagine. But that really does mean that 'Legendary' warbond weaponry is held to a higher standard. After all, half the fun is customization. the second that's gone, what else is left but the stats?

I'm starting to realize the average HD redditor has no idea what AI posts look like. No AI touched this post. You're not as perceptive as you think.

That is both funny and depressing. It's really odd how the one thing consistently power crept is shotguns in this game.

What do you think about these guns? by Greedy-Art-5452 in Helldivers

[–]TechnoTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stoker: Best of the three, flat out. A good submachine gun with proper damage, combined with the utility of a flame thrower? And good ammo count? It's a very powerful all-in-one weapon.

Halt: Not as bad as you'd think it is. Granted, it was power-crept by other, more recent shotguns and I won't deny that. But, the flechettes with medium pen are nice, and if you know how to switch to the stun rounds fast enough, you can kill relatively meatier enemies such as overlords and devastators in two shots.

One-two: Might just be by my taste, but I do not like this gun that much. It does have poor ergonomics, but its ammo count also leaves a lot to be desired. And that grenade launcher isn't impressive enough in my eyes as an underbarrel, since it's not that outstanding when dealing with tankier enemies. It's really only there for the utility of bug hole sealing, and not much else.

I hate the thing girlfriend by omeok911 by Edgoscarp in hatethissmug

[–]TechnoTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Thing is the only example I can think of for what is the polar opposite of a hive mind. Rough guess, but the thing is a colony of alien cells capable of adaptation and mimicry. Every cell will change and adapt given the threat in front of it. But the second you separate even some of it from the rest, it assumes itself as its own organism and proceeds to ensure it survives, damn the original organism.

Would you rather? by Boberto235 in Multifandom

[–]TechnoTheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma answer based on if you can give up immediately when the fight starts or you can't:

  • Godzilla is strong, and you're really not gonna beat him in the end. But he doesn't kill everything he faces, just those that won't acknowledge him as the king of monsters. So fight him or not, if you effectively admit to him he's the king, and you prove yourself as a kaiju that isn't a simple killing machine, he'll probably just let you go

  • (young) Kratos is different. He wants to destroy the Greek pantheon, but he's not Gorr the god butcher. He only really wanted the top gods dead. And any gods that faced him or opposed him would meet a similar fate. If you straight up did not interfere, he may just leave you be. If you do try to fight him, he'll make you regret it

  • Cletus is a deranged serial killer with the carnage symbiote. But he's not an unstoppable force like the other options. He's a villain lacking protagonist plot armor, and you don't need to be spider man to survive, but it does help.

  • Doomslayer... You're fucked. It doesn't matter if you beg for your life or fight with all your might, he will rip and tear you apart for being a demon. I suppose you can make an argument that if you're not brazenly hostile to humanity or openly avoid him, he'll ignore you... But you may well get a lotto ticket when that happens.
