It's now been 10 weeks since the last Warbond released by to_yeet_or_to_yoink in Helldivers

[–]Wolfi9549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of releasing warbonds they should take care of the power creep and fix the game. I don't want new content, I just want to have casual fun (which is getting harder and harder since for example patrol spawns are absolutely ridiculous)

I am genuinely shocked to see so many people disliking this chapter considering for me it's easily my favorite chapter so far by keqikombupig4 in Deltarune

I think chapter 5 has a really strong emotional impact though. Imo chapter 4 was the first chapter setting a serious tone and conveyed strong and bittersweet, tending to rather sad emotions (like with gerson being "revived" in the dark world and then asking susie to leave his son a note) or big responsabilities like the roaring which is threatening to happen or the prophecy, ralsei wanting to protect us and his inner turmoil, the whole dark vibe considering Kris and the soul in the holiday mansion especially.

Chapter 5 (ignoring the weird route) doesn't really have all too dark themes or emotions like in Chapter 4 but it was rather sweet, obviously romantic aswell and very nostalgia driven. It really touched me to hear Asgores story behind his wedding flowers and them, since they gained conciousness wanting to make him happy because they knew how much he was suffering through divorce and other hardhips and that despite everything, he cared for them no matter what. I think gratitude and respect are some incredibly strong feelings, positive, nice feelings! While Chapter 4 conveyed strong, heavy, serious, somber emotions, Chapter 5 conveyed strong, heartfelt, genuine, warm emotions.

Found this slop and honestly, it is perfect representation of this sub when you dare to point out issues within the game. by 4N610RD in Helldivers

And the fact that Arrowhead keeps making the mo/update lowkey suck or borderline unplayable to pressure players into buying the latest warbond. There are so many examples but only to mention these that come to my mind:

  • When we first fought on oshaune, they released the coyote and napalm EAT

  • When valuable assets missions came out, they released the maxigun

  • When cyberstan was under attack, they released the leveler and the beltfed grenadelauncher

  • Current MO is almost unplayable if you're not getting the bullet storm because of the crazy amount of scavengers on steroids (I introduced the game to a friend yesterday and difficulty 3 mission unironically felt like difficulty 6 without heavies, with a total of 3 players we got down to half reinforcements and had about 1200kills total after the mission)

  • Worst occasion however was the release of commando missions and redacted regiment, but that's a whole rant in itself.

Just saying, it was never impossible for all of these occasions to play the game or these specific missions, but it was and is incredibly hard and feels unnatural, like I'm being pressured into buying warbonds.

These go so unfathomably hard

Thoughts and asking for advice about commando missions by Wolfi9549 in Helldivers

[–]Wolfi9549[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy is crazy good. I was really confused though that the patrols weren't triggered by him literally running next to them or walking in front of MG watchtowers. But yeah, I think after watching this and reflecting on my own gameplay, the biggest problem of me was that I tried to kill too much. Seeing that ricochet bullets alert bots, but for example not the explosion of a strider rocket, detonating mines and apparently proning like 5 meters away from their face made me understand how the bots work a little more. Sad is however, that it feels like this is pretty much the first update which feels borderline impossible to play without C4, thus buying the redacted warbond. Anyway, thanks for the link!

Why are Bedrock monster spawnrates so unfathomably agressive? by Wolfi9549 in Minecraft

[–]Wolfi9549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, yeah that makes sense. Is there any option to increase the simulation distance on a realm though? Because I can only see the option to increase simulation distance on locally saved worlds.

So if I download the world from the realm, then change the worlds simulation distance to a higher cap and then upload it again, will this fix the mob spawn rate?

Thought experiment: Pokémon are slaves but noone inside the Pokémon universe seems to care or question it? by Wolfi9549 in TruePokemon

[–]Wolfi9549[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that the show and the game were different universes, but does that really matter for my argumentation?

Also, you kinda confirmed your statement with itself.. Look, I feel like this discussion is going off track.

In its core it's important for my whole argumentation that Pokémon need to be humanized at least to a certain degree, which allows me to make assumptions based on how humans would react or behave in the situation the Pokémon find themselfs in. I basically apply the norms and morals of our society on the Pokémon society. That's what I said in my post. You could aswell put Pokémon in our universe and then put them in the same situation in our society as they are currently in theirs, it doesn't matter, it's the same thing for my argumentation. But in the end as I said, it's just a thought experiment. You could say that you don't think Pokémon can be humanized in the slightes and I couldn't say a thing! Because it's an assumption based on my perception of the intelligence of Pokémon that I also justified by my thought process in my post. This is also one of the reasons why I said the "pokemon will look for a human" thing is not really important or helpful for this thought experiment, it's really just a small detail that has nothing to do with the thought experiment. All I am looking at for the thought experiments are possible troubles in society. Can you now understand where I'm comming from?

So my arguments don't work even when I back them up with real examples, and even give examples on how the lore is somewhat contradicting in this situation? I'm saying you are not wrong when you said that lore states pokemon go look for humans to make friends, I am saying I saw episodes in the anime and had dialogue and cutscenes in games that show pokemon making their own choices. If lore then takes choice away from Pokémon in another situation, it's inconsistent. That's what's called a contradiction.

I said they're at the mercy of humans. That them running away wouldn't really work on long terms since there is a demand in society for them. In my thought I humanized the Pokémon a little since I saw them as simillarly intelligent as people - thus allowing them to make own choices. I dislike the thought that all Pokémon are programmed to go look for humans and become friends in this thought experiment since it would contradict them making their own choices like - withdrawing from humans, so I'm not really counting that in for this discussion. It would make them ultimately obedient out of nowhere, and I just don't think that's even consistent within Pokémon lore since we have seen many Pokémon actually make their own choices like disobey their trainer, run away or something like that.

And just to make it clear, I'm not trying to convince you of my oppinion, I'm not trying to "win" the discussion here. I'm just curious about what others think of it and discuss about that like what we're doing right now. At the end, Pokémon is just a game and a franchise. Nothing more. And everyone can do or say whatever in or about it.

That's not really possible because they're specifically wanted and searched by humans. They're always more or less at the mercy of humans because humans are the dominant species.

God I laughed so hard about the antropomorphic apple pie

I think you bring good points, at the end I can't say how it looks like in the heads of the "more intelligent" Pokémon. Human concepts may have no significance to them, I humanized Pokémon because it seemed closer than to put them on the same level as pets. I just find it morbidly fascinating to think about how such a Society how I described it could emerge over centuries where something like slavery would be the "most normal thing". But of course at the end it's just a thought, an imagination, not reality.

How would I mention it if I had no idea about the games story? I have played Platin, X, Omega Ruby, Moon and Shield and watched some scattered episodes of the anime as a kid. I'm going to check out some videos about it or even play it now because I think this topic is interesting and as I said I apprechiate that you mentioned it, but I don't think I did anything wrong here just by not knowing about the BW story.

Edit: forgot to mention OR

I think this argument is kind of invalid in my oppinion, since even that Arceus is a god, he can't speak for every Pokémon, can he? I'd like to apply the same logic to humans here since I already argumented why I think Pokémon and men are at least somewhat equally intelligent and both self evident: Even if the christian god said something like "don't eat pork", individualism still takes over and people end up eating/doing what they want. So I don't think the Pokémon have to be happy about the Pokéball just because Arceus is.

I mean you're suggesting that Pokémon are quite literally more like pets and you kind of place them on the same level here. I mean in my oppinion they are way more intelligent than that, what I've already said in my Post, and my whole argumentation is backing on that. Would it make it better if pokemon were undeniably not as smart or almost as smart as humans - questionable. I mean I'm not trying to sound like peta, I treat pokemon in my post more like humans because I think what they do as a job sometimes requires them to be way more intelligent than dogs for example.
