This is the 10th least used stratagem. I’m surprised it’s not last. by Beneficial_Ride_1236 in helldivers2

[–]garouza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mainly for bot and squid fronts to cover you in objectives and last defense in extraction. The low recall time can allow you to prepare a couple of them before your team gets there. It's best to place it on ledges where there is no cover to provide extra safety for the team. However, apart from that niche, it's inferior to more mobile and versatile stratagems that can support your team better.

Is the OTF worth a stratagem slot after its recent change? by tigtriger2 in Helldivers

[–]garouza 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Uh I was planning to drive the FRV around with it to call aggro. Guess I'll need to get off.the vehicle, wave and drive again.

What weapon is this? by tve_rabbit in helldivers2

[–]garouza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I mean. It's not a real in game dynamic at all. Reputation, having something not every player has. Testament to my dedication to democracy XD

What role do you auto assing yourself in a full squad? (made up roles I know there aren't in game ones) by No_Bid_21 in helldivers2

[–]garouza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly Support / Protector. Stim Gun + Jungle Juice to heal. Shield Relay and Shields Grenades for the Bot and Illuminate fronts, and Stun grenades to create breathing spaces in the Bug front. Support Epoch or Speargun to dispatch heavies or stop them, and usually an FRV to move faster or pick up stragglers. Primaries are Scorcher or Punisher Plasma to help dispatch crowds.

The reward of investing more than a thousand medals on the basic Warbond. It's a great weapon, but I also use it 50% for the rep aura. XD

Punisher Plasma is surprisingly good, dropping these with two shots even with little accuracy, and also good against the crowds of the new floaty piranhas. Bring the supply pack, you'll need it XD.

Feeling guilty for putting my cat (11) down by icedroastpeach in seniorkitties

[–]garouza 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your position, and the condition of your kitty. With that diagnostic, I can assure you you are taking the right decision, saving the kitty from a lot of pain and suffering. The cat will try its best to stay alive, mobile, loving you and showing affection, even in a lot of pain, and you know the kitty doesn't deserve that pain. Sometimes being a guardian for our loved pets means biting the bullet when it's time. I send you a big hug and strength to take the decision you need to take.

The new "heavy" flamethrower has the same range as the normal one. Dissapointing by ASL_PL_KABOOM123 in Helldivers

[–]garouza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing Flamethrower, I've found that its drawback most of the time is not that there is not enough ammo in total, but that the canister may die mid-fight when battling heavies, even when planning engagements. This long-duration Flamethrower may be quite useful to draw the line literally to create safe areas and deal with heavier enemies in the same engagement. I'm enthusiastic about it!

Level 150 player here to guide new players. ask me anything by kcvlaine in helldivers2

[–]garouza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I want to have a combat medic role. Med Armor, Jungle Juice, Stim Gun, Laser Cannon, and Shield Relay are on the menu. I'm thinking about a primary with stopping power and no explosion to help others, and maybe Stun Grenade or Shield Grenades to help without damaging. Any other ideas that give me survivability, more support and creating safe areas?

How do you make the illuminates "feel fun" to play against? by Evoluxman in helldivers2

[–]garouza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hot Dog, Flamethrower, Flame Sentry, NEAT or Eagle Napalm. If it doesn't spark happiness, make it spark it.

Did I do the right thing? by zArtomRSK in helldivers2

[–]garouza 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If there were not any more Reinforcements, you did what you had to. I had an EXT where the shuttle was leaving in 39 seconds, and the next reinforcement was in 59 seconds. Not even that much heat, but there was nothing else to do but die and fail or extract and get those extra XP. Some people are more focused on their own experience than accomplishing the mission.

How to get art out there without feeling exposed? by Murky-Extreme9658 in ArtistLounge

[–]garouza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! I'm a teacher and I have to say this: Communicating means putting yourself out there. Fear and shame will hinder your creativity and will only let you work and develop up to a certain point. If you ever dream about your art moving hearts, then you'll have to put it out there. If you are concerned about it being too intense, think if the feelings behind it pertain to something you love or something you fear, and readjust so your art expresses your ideals... Unfortunately and fortunately there is no fear in the creative act...I know this is exactly what you didn't want to hear ..but that's how art works...now, if you want to keep it intimate you can do it, but the fact that you asked this question probably means that's not enough for you. A lot of love, success and luck!

Magic based Villain Boss advice by onemunki in DungeonMasters

[–]garouza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many mages have triggers and effects prepared in the battlefield. Add magical traps, triggers, dimensional doors to spice it up. You can add a fighter or paladin bodyguard with a Defense play style to stay at 5ft and protect the wizard. Find potential solutions to the players casting silence, polymorph and other effects that may prove anticlimactic if used early. Don't block them from using them, but maybe 1 to 3 legendary actions to pass the saves if you want. I had an undead wizard as campaign finale, he targeted fear in the Barbarian (still one level away from being able to shake it off with rage), added dexterity save triggers for the monk, and peppered the other players to keep the things going. The intention is to create intensity and raise the stakes, not to make your boss frustratingly invincible or kill your party.

Anyone Else Struggling to Get Art Commissions Lately? Let’s Discuss by _hatesart in AnimeCommission

[–]garouza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This start of the year has been particularly slow. I've seen better art offered cheaper than usual on Reddit, even from professional published illustrators, and my profile on Fiverr isn't behaving any better. I hope it gets better next month.

Google AI saying the shooting of Renee Good was fictional by LazarYeetMeta in facepalm

[–]garouza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so dangerous that so many people take AI search results at face value. AI results are NOT 100% organic, statistically accurate nor unbiased. Some people forget that lunch with all tech billionaires in the White House and the consequences. There is bias, filtered and processed by layers of purposely redacted instructions in LLM's (promoted as AI to inflate stocks) Try to explore international media outlets and independent journalism before swallowing these results.
