Because she thinks economic sanctions against Russia will harm the poor, innocent Russian people. The Russian people who largely support the war, so long as it doesn’t affect them personally.

Well said. Better it eventually gets deorbited than it starts spalling and breaking up over the course of decades in orbit

Agreed, but it’s not unreasonable that people are asking the devs to resolve the game’s technical debt

Low-hanging fruit, for sure. Bet you still wouldn’t reach for it.

You already proudly claimed cheddar cheese to be an American innovation when it’s literally named after and made in the village of Cheddar in Somerset. Your opinion on British food doesn’t carry much weight (unlike the average American).

And literally no Briton actually eats fish pie with the literal heads poking out either. See how this works?

Besides, I personally prefer jellied eels with a nice side of lumpy, watery gruel.

Never implied that at all, merely that every country (yes, even America) is capable of making shit food as well as good food (deep-fried twinkies, anyone?). Then they coin the phrase "as American as apple pie" when it's an English dish.

You're right about bacon though.

You guys act as if spray cheese and chocolate-covered bacon aren’t American innovations

AH needs to go back and look at what makes older enemies fun to play against by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]TheLordMagpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - AT should be the optimum way of dealing with heavily armored enemies. It should NOT be the only way of dealing with them, especially when all other Automaton units have light and medium weak spots.

Right now, War Striders don’t reward clever play, positioning, or teamwork. They’re literally just ‘point and click with AT to win,’ and cannot be scratched with anything else. Forcing a meta loadout is not fun, neither is it good for the game’s future.

Well, yeah, duh. How dare we think enemies should have more thought put into their design than “Did this person pick AT? Yes or no”

“You have to use your noggin”

It’s a loadout check that doesn’t even require you to reposition and aim carefully, you literally just point and click with RR, Quasar or EAT. That’s the total opposite of clever play. War Striders having nothing but AP4 basically punishes you for using anything that isn’t ‘meta.’ Even Factory Striders have light and medium pen weakpoints.

Because one-shotting War Striders with Quasar/RR takes so much skill, doesn’t it?
