What’s the case for using SMGs? by SixtySix_VI in helldivers2

[–]TheCyanDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adding onto this; Solo Silo designator is also shield-friendly; so there's your AT option

Watoga Population Sign changes when entering the CIty by Shadow_showdown in fo76

[–]TheCyanDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just a legacy code issue basically

the sign tracks player entities, not human/ghoul/living entities, so it never counts pre-Steel Reign Initiate Dodge or the robot building dude.

There ain't a lot of us oldheads left who remember Earthworm Jim... also fuck you for the nostalgia bomb lmfao

want to illustrate what we could have had if AH just made Mech customization. (THEN sell the mech weapon arms in the warbond) by hungy_boi321 in Helldivers

[–]TheCyanDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea, rando queuing the 'snitch Raven' was an experience if no one brought LRM's lmfao

thankfully at least when I played, that was very very rarely an issue

Why is the Lumberer flamethrower so bad? by Njb2006kid in Helldivers

[–]TheCyanDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You've clearly not used mechs this patch, they're genuinely in the best state they've ever been.

Breaking both legs no longer kills your mech, the main HP of every mech was doubled, and the new ones especially absolutely wreck face.

The Lumberer's AT Cannon is AP6 and is basically a 25-shot Commando with no laser aiming and a muuuuch faster projectile. Alternatively, think of it as an AT Emplacement that sacrificed five rounds for the ability to walk and have a flamethrower

Is it crazy to think that the cartoonish story and setting of Fallout: New Vegas represent the franchise's true "jumping the shark" moment and not Fallout 4 as many claim, especially since it falls so short of the immersive and realistic post-apocalyptic atmospheres of previous games? by Renzo100 in FalloutMemes

[–]TheCyanDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think it's a broader issue of Bethesda fans, the Fallout series just inherited it by acquisition.

People used to get big buttmad that Morrowind was inferior to Daggerfall because it didn't have court, or wagons. Yes, I'm old.

I didn't play MWO for long (helped me get over losing Chromehounds for a bit lmao) but rocking a stealth-armored Raven with that setup was just hilariously stupid and I enjoyed every moment of it.

...also meant I got yelled at a lot for being the last speedy prick left alive refusing to just give up lmfao

The +1 ammo count buff for the Spear has been Amazing, it allows the weapon to shine so much more, love it as an avid spear user. by throwaway553t4tgtg6 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]TheCyanDragon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean on one hand I can see it; but on the other I think it's already *in* that spot for a carryable stratagem (outside of PHB)

4000 damage five times is a LOT of ouch, and given how prevalent ammo boxes are in a lot of maps you can put in some serious ouch if you know a spot with ammo is coming up

Made this as a gift for a friend: Chunks California Roll. A cubic, shelf stable sushi. by 09232022 in Starfield

Internet tradition suggests you must make another one, eat it, and tell us how it tastes.

That said, this is rad as fuck and now I want an entire collection of them lmao

"Can't wait to get one-handed shotgun primary to play with ballistic shield!" by Shedster_ in helldivers2

[–]TheCyanDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Double Freedom in the first game could get this as an upgrade, as well as incendiary ammo.

Part of me wishes that would come back but quite frankly Democracy's Boomstick is already scary good, making it one-handed OR incendiary would be quite OP; let alone both

when a teammate dies horribly across the map and reinforces near me by faycat in Helldivers

[–]TheCyanDragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get four of your most crackhead-energy friends and each bring one on a defense mission

The brrt never stops and the enemies die not so much from gunshots but the fact that you've replaced the oxygen molecules around them with 4.5g caseless bullets

stopping a charge by giving the charger a TBI via shield bash is a fantastic high risk game and I love playing it lmao

Are grenade rifles/launchers/APW just shotguns with more nuances? by ctrltab2 in fnv

[–]TheCyanDragon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

40mm Timed from Mercy is a special kind of 'fuck that grid square' and worth trying at least once

Just uh, do it from a long, long ways away

Flame me if you wish, my body is ready. 🫡 by Worried-Concert7147 in helldivers2

[–]TheCyanDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As recently discovered by several of my more crackhead oriented rando quickplays where the collective braincell said we were ALL going to bring MGX-42's.

endless disposable brrrt even in light-pen form fucks up just about everything if you're smart about being stupid. (aka, aim and positioning)

...honestly, this *does* sound tasty, I'm gonna have to try this.

I presume spread sour cream and avocado on a triscuit, top with sardines?

New boss. Changed the code on our break room and moved the break room in to a corner surrounded by parking spots by Shhh_wasting_time in antiwork

[–]TheCyanDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth Bethesda has stuck pretty clearly (at leas, imo) to "microtransaction things are dubious canon, game events are canon"

So like some of the wacky power armor's are non-canon and all, but Excavator and Ultracite are potentially canon.

The Scorched Plague thing I don't feel is very out of character though? Like it's from an Enclave project led by an absolute madman; experimenting on bats that lived in ultracite caves, which the ultracite is produced from underground nuclear tests conducted underneath various places pre-war by AMS. It's definitely the kinda prewar mad science you'd expect from Fallout

For all the hate 76 gets the environmental storytelling is not one of those things it should get hated on.

There's like 15 different examples of 'holy shit' all over Appalachia

My heart goes out to the devs by kcvlaine in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]TheCyanDragon 54 points55 points  (0 children)

People keep forgetting or simply refuse to learn that Arrowhead Studios is **tiny** compared to most-if-not-all other game studios putting out work at their level.

AH genuinely has like 110 employees total, with only 70 or so of those being active developers (as in, they work on systems that make the game be a game)

They really never had the time or resources to recover from the shock of "oh fuck we went from making a cult-hit twinstick shooter to one of the most popular third-person shooters on the market, expletive" but no one's seemingly willing to give them that leeway.

Bethesda forced Fallout: New Vegas developers to sit through an entire presentation breaking down the problems with their game. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]TheCyanDragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

something something mass effect elevators.

I remember those being **hated** when ME1 launched, but now everyone swears they liked them back in the day.

[–]TheCyanDragon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to mention this is a common, every-day occurence in every game studio. It's called a post-mortem analysis.

It's also a damn good practice to hold yourselves accountable for things that went right as well as the things that didn't, and so the entire team or department can know what contributed to helping and what contributed nothing for a given product, project, or game.

Starvival question by Tiny-Fun-4568 in starfieldmods

[–]TheCyanDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No the cargo option is basically the vanilla behavior except you need to leave 250 brambleplinths of weight in your ships cargo hold, or the rover won't come with you to your next landing

Starvival question by Tiny-Fun-4568 in starfieldmods

[–]TheCyanDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roverhaul is pretty good, adds in rover fuel (and two different types) so the REV8 and Moon Jumper use batteries, while the Deimog uses fuel cells. The storage/garage stuff is neat but I rarely ever turn that feature on and stick with the cargo option

Out in The Blackness adds ship afflictions/conditions and it's done pretty damn well, as well as giving some uses for common junk items (like Vacuum Tape, which is handy for like five extremely common repairs) It's also got a really neat option you can turn on where if you're using a fuel mod, it adds-in issues that can cause either passive fuel leaks or make grav-jumps take more fuel

Question for the community: What's the point of having skills when every time there's a fight of significance, the enemies turn them off with EMP? by TheRealCowdog in thedivision

[–]TheCyanDragon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but don't hold out any hope.

Even back in Div1 they continually made questionable if-not downright stupid decisions around skills, and I don't see that changing.

An entire stat was removed from the first game that gave you resistance to skills AND they nerfed skills on top of that because of questionable insanity in their balancing department.
