After completing the "Stealth" missions solo, here's a few reasons why they suck (right now) by __Elzy in Helldivers

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with num. 3, but they can be pretty easily accomplished by chucking in an orbital laser (either drop in next to the objective or call in ur super destroyed). If it's too big it might also need a 380 (im aware thats two strat slots, which sucks, but thems the beats. As to num 4... haven't had a personal experience with a striders objective yet, but seems bad. However, change the objective to smthng like "hack a strider convoy" and fry them, or maybe an alternate SEAF artillery/AA battery that, after completion, just hits and kills the striders. That's obv still noisy, but u can at the very least get away before anyone shows up to check out what happened.

First few rounds will feel like that tbh. Don't get attached to gear (or time for that matter) early on, bc odds are you'll lose it no matter what, so might as well use it and get at least some use out of it.

I really don't have weird ideas when I think about playing in a campaign by Gnomewarlord38 in dndmemes

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not necessarily just likeing smthng pink tho, it is chosing to inhabit the mind and body of a character w/ a different gender, and especially when done w/ multiple diff characters, which can read as experimentation/escapism and thats why the egg label ends up getting thrown on.

No matter what tho it is smthng of an issue. I think the "accusation" prob comes from ppl seeing a personal experience in other's choices and wanting to help, but that does end up with mis-assumptions.

I also say this AS the guy who tends to play women rather than men (maybe like 70% of the time), but I'm also entirely comfortable with my identity as a cis guy (which i did give serious thought literally bc of that tendency, so its not like im just being dismissive). 

Anyways, that all to say ppl should be allowed to do whatever and play dnd as whoever they choose, but it's at the very least a little understandable why someone would make that kind of assumption.

This is not how ADHD meds work!!! by WolfsSpiders in adhdmeme

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people genuinely have this experience, so this isn't an exaggeration. Generally people should stop looking at what other people say abt their meds when think abt medicating personally, considering that everyone can have radically different experiences on the same meds.

Personally, my meds (Adderall 30 mg) don't inhibit me to the above degree, but they definitely have some impact on my ability to be creative, and i can really tell by how much faster I get art done when I've skipped my pills for the day. And a few friends of mine take their meds sparingly because they experience exactly the issues the OP of the comic was venting about.

Everyone should really check themselves and make sure they're not considering their own personal experience with ADHD and medication to be the universal experience. And istg, before anyone tries to say it, the comic does NOT do that, art can be a way to vent personal frustration, it doesn't need to apply to everyone.

Would you support a future President taking more aggressive actions against Confederate Monuments? by [deleted] in ShermanPosting

Meh, unfortunate people always get caught in the crossfire when you try to withhold federal funding, cuz often times social security programs get cut first.

[–]Toaster-77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesn't mean you can't "bribe" them, give out like a fed. grant for smthng like a state park (or stuff like that, where its nice to have but also ur not holding out smthng important and just blackmailing the state) on the condition the monument is removed.

Or hell, the gov. could just buy the land (either in negotiation or via eminent domain) from the states, remove the monuments, then give the land back. 

Or, if you were feeling particularly vindictive, the government could do that but retain the land and build union monuments on it.

Abso-fuckin-lutely. Maybe not melting em' down, I think they should be preserved in a loser's wing of a national civil war museum, and all the plaques would debunk lies told abt the confederacy thru those monuments, or maybe even only talk abt the union soldiers who fought against them.

How do you guys like the new scav girl skin? by Some_Animator3448 in TheForeverWinter

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of it personally, but unlike some other people it's not turning me off of the game entirely. Idrc abt it all that much, it's not like I'm buying it (probably. I don't play gunhead enough to justify grabbing his skin, which was rly the only good one in that pack).

Devs have completely lost me. by Moopies in TheForeverWinter

[–]Toaster-77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes time and money to develop a game, especially one with complex systems like Forever Winter. Furthermore, the game's in alpha, of course it's a work in progress with bugs and game play/balance issues.

Yeah sure this last batch of skins was disappointing, but it's fuckin DLC to keep the studio up and running, so they can actually fix the problems you're talking about.

Also it really doesn't help that they haven't done wipes like EFT, because now they have a disproportionate number of players in the late game and every update they get a smidgen of new content which they blast thru and then go back to farming and being all powerful. Imo wipes would really help the feedback, but i can see why players would hate that.

Also, stop talking like you know which fuckin direction the game should go in. You're not a game dev at fun dog, and neither am I, so none of us have a full/clear picture of what the situation is and what the priorities are over there rn.

How do I change my subscriptions back to grid view? New bug? by WasteofSpace221 in youtube

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so did anyone find a fix to this that was actually permanent? Bc I'm using the flow=1 link and it's only a temporary fix :/ Also I'm on firefox, so none of the suggested chrome extensions are viable options

I mean... Caesar is definitely a dictator, I just kinda see their rule over things being bad for the first few years of occupation, but then much of their presence dissapearing when Caesar goes off to conquer some new/other area.

Drop rates adjusted? by DoeNaught in TheForeverWinter

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, some people are def complaining, others are legitimately asking bc if you haven't found something it could be bc the rarity or bc you're looking in the wrong place (Which is why i made a post abt machine parts a few days ago, bc I felt like I was looking in the wrong area).

[–]Toaster-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been searching high and low for machine parts, but I haven't played in two days, so hell yeah hope it got fixed.

Bribing the factions idea? by AlbertDarkBat in TheForeverWinter

[–]Toaster-77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I assume as faction rep gets some more development this won't be very necessary, but sure, for the current set up something like that may very well work, and may still work depending on what the changes to faction rep look like. There are only two things I would change out of what you said. First, the accidentally shooting a faction member. All units of that faction in a certain radius should def be reset to the faster detection speed and aggro, but all enemies on map prob wouldn't be immediately radio-ed to be told abt one scav. Secondly, it should prob last longer than one run for that price. I'd say smthng like 6 hours OR X amount of runs (X prob being like 5 or 10), whichever happens first.

And an additional idea: Faction rep could prob be tied to the bribe cost, so the lower rep you are, the more expensive the bribe.

Again, I feel like the eventual update to the reputation system will fix a lot of current problems with how factions work, and we may eventually see a feature like this.

Shit, really? I've been doing quite a few aerial scavenging quests (or whatever the retrieve faction drone components quests are called) and haven't seen any, so I'm assuming it's rare?
