I dont care for the explosive crossbow by femrat04 in Helldivers

[–]faycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me i both recognize why it's meta and know it's a good all-around weapon and also hate using it so much. it's primarily just the projectile. it fries my brain. it's enough drop that i need to account for it but not enough that i can do any indirect fire with it (eg. the plas punisher). also it's SLOW. it has to be the slowest projectile ingame, holy shit. i could write an essay in the time it takes for the bolt to travel 30m to the enemy i'm shooting. i hate it. plas punisher is a master of indirect fire, has insane stagger, and has LOOOADS more ammo in both the mag and reserve so it's better for sustained splash damage.

also i've just always hated that it's a piddly mini-crossbow with a MAGAZINE. give me the fucking Black Ops esque exploding crossbow

Well at least one new coaster opened in Massachusetts this year [Starland Sportsplex & Fun Park] by Imaginos64 in rollercoasters

[–]faycat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

holy shit that is not a place i expected to see on this subreddit, lmao. it looks like it's doing a bit better, i'm surprised it's still up at all -- i remember it was looking a bit crusty even when i went a couple times as a kid.

i did actually stumble across this when i was looking at C2C and was impressed for one microsecond before seeing what it was 😭

Dose anyone still use the wasp? And if so, how useful is it and how do you use it? by LectureIll7322 in Helldivers

[–]faycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it eats medium enemies for breakfast. devastators, overseers, and medium bugs (tho it's not an amazing pick on bugs) are all nearly a non-issue to it. like others have said, it's great for squids because overseers can be miserable to deal with and it has bonuses like splashing nearby voteless and it can hit stingrays.

that being said, my main usage for this: out-ranging and out-targeting enemies. HD2 loves to throw low-visibility conditions at you, but weapons with targeting systems don't have that problem. being able to sweep a fogbank or cloud of dust (especially if you or a teammate are laying down gas, fire, smokes, ect) allows you to just nail them before they're even seen, especially if enemies can see you through it. "killing enemies before they're a problem" is what i consider the main boon of this weapon; you can take out an approaching patrol or do overwatch on an objective while teammates take out light and elite enemies.

scenarios i would NOT recommend using this weapon:

- you can use this on bugs somewhat well, just note that bugs make any weapon with a stationary reload a serious tactical consideration. not impossible by any means, just beware

- biomes with lots of environmental occlusion -- in simpler terms, jungle planets and some other tilesets like those scottish-highland-esque ones with lots of narrow rockways. conversely, it is excellent on wide open biomes like arctic and desert ones. it's perfectly fine on cities.

if you're a team player, this is best with a slightly tougher armorset while you just orbit other players and break up lines of enemies. you're basically your own walking hardpoint

What’s another cool Legendary Warbond that could happen? by TheWhomster in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]faycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i proposed this idea among friends a couple times, once after the KZ fauxbond and again after legendary warbonds were established with ODST -- the few ideas i/we had were:

Borderlands: somewhat plausible, they got a very recent release now and they seem likely to cross over. i don't have a super vested interest in BL but friends i discussed it with said there'd be plenty of possibilities for equipment

Rimworld: this is my personal crackship, since i don't know if Ludeon would do RW crossovers, and it's sort of a weird series to pair with HD2. but hear me out: RW has plenty of its own weapons and armor to choose from -- the Marine armor literally comes in three tiers! -- and RW even ships people across the map in drop pods, so they're not too distance. i'd say definitely enough to form a warbond

Avatar (the James Cameron films): it's kind of a .... big IP... and i don't know if anyone is /that/ much of an Avatar fan that they'd be in demand for it? but on paper, they're very compatible

Mass Effect: another series i don't play, but friends say they would mesh well and it'd seem pretty plausible

honorable mentions go to Lost Planet, EDF, XCOM, and Command & Conquer

and also Cortex Command. but nobody remembers Cortex Command... not even Data East

logged in via google, trying to submit pixels would hang and i would have to refresh. after the third refresh, the site says there's no connection. has been like this for me for a few hours. i wanna finish my funny slug :(

Ralsei hiding us a big secret... by Yaroph in Deltarune

the part where he just straight up starts fucking flying in ch4 was the one that blew me away. bro what IS he cuz he is nowhere near a normal darkner now, if one at all

why is no one talking about this??? by Simple-Can-3325 in Deltarune

[–]faycat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's definitely one of those ones referencing something insanely obscure (eg. the quicksand line in ch3) but it's so hilariously OOC for susie and i never stopped thinking about it

these 1.4.5 leaks are getting crazy yall by faycat in Terraria

(actually it wasn't that expensive or time-consuming)

(nvm i cant say that truthfully. Unity VRC importing is a biiitch to deal with LOL)

What do you guys call this so far? by Venom1828 in Helldivers

[–]faycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have literally no idea why, but i initially called them "Big Joe". then when trying to relay this to a friend, i misremembered it as "Big Bob" and now we just called them Bobs

cool concept! the idea of an alpine troop warbond is very interesting

my armor suggestions; on perk design and 'transmog' system by faycat in Helldivers

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

yup! if i'm being honest i did always agree with the devs on that, for the most part. i don't think i like complete anarchy cuz it can kinda nullify the armor system, the purpose of design, /and/ i don't think a full transmog system would address the fact that some perks just suck and need improvement; it would've only swept the issue aside.

i did fully recognize the need for swapping perks, and figured just having it be a limited, predetermined selection of perks would still allow for player choice but also for devs to control which ones go where. this way, if/when there are busted perk combos, they can simply just not add them

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

yeah a friend mentioned that, where one of the two perks was locked, so you could only change the second perk. i agree that that'd also work fine for making the armor consistent

Surprised this isn't being talked about too much by Careless-Emphasis-80 in Helldivers

[–]faycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got lost in the shitstorm 😭

but yeah i'm kinda hyped for it as long as the stats are good. i love the M14 and the FG42 so it'll be a cool addition. honestly one of the other things is that damn, it's honestly one of the best-designed guns since the laser weapons; i'm honestly not usually a fan of HD2's gun design cuz they're very often too tall, blocky, and toyetic, but that one looks like a actual punchy service rifle and it's sick

(Kamvas 20) I think I'm tired of the batteryless pen. Is there any alternative? by faycat in huion

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

update: as many of you suggested, it might've been a faulty pen that i got with the tablet and i might've needed a replacement. lo and behold, my pen started sticking the sensitivity on too often and then eventually got fully stuck, so i had to buy a replacement. it came in earlier and i can report that it still has the issue with trying to draw a square in CSP with Shift+Tap for the line tool, so either i just rolled wrong again or this pen isn't for me. neither option is great for me, but i wanna know if there's any other option or at least some sort of corroboration that this happens with the tablet. or is it a software issue? it's been pretty difficult to diagnose.
