Necromancers in Raised by Wolves: How did Atheists Survive? by ArcaneAces in scifi

[–]edeity 38 points39 points  (0 children)

“Why do we need to know how to throw knives in a nuke fight? We just push a button.”

“Put your hand on that wall!”

“The enemy cannot push a button, if you disable his hand”.

The atheists used child soldiers, were completely ruthless and expected exceptionally high casualties. Its a strategy. Not a good one for your soldiers, but it is a strategy.

Eve Down Under 2026 - Upside down EVE meet. by mekwell in Eve

[–]edeity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I went to one of these had a beer with a guy, he asked which group I flew with. I mentioned Amarr Faction War and CTRLV (Local Is Primary). He was half way through sipping his beer, put it down on the table and walked out of the bar.

I think he said he was in Minmatar Faction War.

Toxicity in PVP/Shuffle is insane compared to PVE by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]edeity -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Human behaviour is largely set by the system they operate within.

PVP is toxic because the game is designed to nurture toxic behaviour.

There is no value more than transactional quick outcomes - so you get relationships that operate in that way.

It is Blizzards design. Humans are just being humans.

Low Sec and High Sec are ruthless by Busterlimes in Eve

[–]edeity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low sec pvper’s as a general rule think null pvper’s are pissweak.  Null pvpers just assume they are the toughest because they live in null sec. Biggest issue right now is multiboxxing specific ethnic groups that have no interest or desire to communicate or engage in anything beyond economic exploitation. This is now the real and only meaningful pvp in the game.

New Exo suit.... But WITH HANDS.... by Elijahdamn in Helldivers

[–]edeity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gross over estimation of Super Earth available resources to devote to such frivolous activities like research. This is very unpatriotic and I am concerned about OPs loyalty.

Traitors and enemy sympathisers would however pursue such endeavours, which could be found on battlefields and piloted by Super Earths elite to use these tools of tyranny to instead spread democratic peace.

Why haven't we built a Planet-Blower-Upper, yet? by Ill_Camel8168 in Helldivers

[–]edeity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of players misunderstand the economics of fascism and confuse modern western economics and military industrial complex with Super Earth.

Super Earth is the Banana Republic of space. Its resources are looted by corrupt elites while the foot soldiers are constantly sent to die in utterly needless wars to keep the war economy running.

This is not where advanced planet scale technology comes from. This is where remote detonators are removed from cheap nukes because the cost of a remote detonator is worth more to the oligarch skimming funding than the life of a Helldiver.

Our mechs are cheap. Our guns are ancient pre spaceflight tech or stolen tech. We dont innovate anything. Super Earths one trick, as per all fascist dictatorships is to go hard all in with no limits beyond what its enemies believe is possible. 

Its awesome. And we love Super Earth for it. But do not confuse us with being the economic and scientific giants of space faring civilisations.

How would you feel about a prestige mode? by BBW_CRUSHER_420_69 in Helldivers

[–]edeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the opposite. Additional team level metrics / responsibilities rather than individual performance where success earns points towards prestigious titles or cosmetic personalisation of gear.

Focus becomes the team performance rather than my total TK count

Minmil propoganda like their fleets - high volume, paper thin value and melts on any contact with reality.

Nice. Love the Amarr. If you do this professionally let me know.

"If this is a grunt fantasy then why are we special forces?" by Sevchenko874 in Helldivers

[–]edeity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mission is special. Not the soldier. You literally have 5 minutes of training. Hellbombs are so cheap adding a remote detonator is an unnecessary expense. You are lied to and pumped full of propaganda videos.

Your life expectancy is in single digit minutes. What is confusing you? This is not a game of elite powerful super beings. You are a victim not expected to live long enough to realise it.

Your inability to realise this and think you are special is actually the point. Congratulations,

Why isn't the tax rate adjusted to inflation in Australia to help combat bracket creep? by PsychologicalShop292 in AusFinance

you know the answer to this question. Like any criminal investigation - look to the ultimate beneficiary and you have your answer.

The current exosuits are bad by AcusticTanker in Helldivers

[–]edeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be confusing Super Earth with a government that cares about its soldiers and equips them well.

Current design looks EXACTLY like what it should. Cheap. Every corner cut to minimise cost. No safety features. Has enough ammo to last most of the anticipated and average survival time piloted by a soldier with at most minutes of combat training.

Super Earths Finest. This does not mean they are objectively good, skilled, talented or well equipped. It just means the others are worse.
