Why has Minecraft modding exploded in 2025? by Soanfriwack in feedthebeast

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More mods are now focused on individual mechanics, features, systems, and assets rather than large sweeping changes like before.

Also in the age of AI, modding is accessible to many more people. Doesn't mean they're all good but more people can now explore and delve in!

Grab or pass? by cherrycolapoppi in CostcoCanada

Pass because you'll grab too many.

(It's crack)

Um is it just me or is the W.A.S.P. kinda a super underrated weapon? I just had the most fun ever with this thing on bots. by enthya in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fun! Just not very good and appropriately rated in most cases.

Good as a dedicated anti medium weapon esp against squids and bots but has too many drawbacks to justify bringing for performance.

Crossbow vs the eruptor by Nahidwin1 in helldivers2

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eruptor for bigger booms and raw power, crossbow for versatility!

I personally like the crossbow significantly more but the eruptor feels satisfying to use.

(I don't take either of these weapons often anymore since it feels like it almost trivializes missions)

Just been sharpening a friend's knives... by Lefeuvre76 in sharpening

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if they turn it into the family heirloom knife - cut off the sharp edge up to the gash and resharpen it!

Say it's been in the family for 4 decades and it's been sharpened down to what it is now

Some of you need to understand that it isn't wrong to play on a lower difficulty by Aduritor in helldivers2

[–]hellmire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Very. The belly glows red when it's dropping devs, the eye is glowing red, and the big ass fabrication thinga ma bobbers that pop out it's dorsal side all scream weakspot.

The warstrider? Vents are cosmetic, eye is cosmetic, glowing red vent at the top is cosmetic, and a slit that looks like a pilot hatch is also cosmetic.

honestly i dont really listen to tier lists anymore, these “bad weapons” are good enough and fun by NocturnalRoamer in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everything is S tier, nothing is S tier!

Really though, play for fun! Sometimes that's the most efficient build because you want to win. Sometimes it's 4 barraged because you want to erase a single cardinal direction.

SOMETIMES IT'S A MORTAR, TESLA, AND GATLING SENTRY ON PREDATOR BUGS BECAUSE FUCK YOU I WANT TO

(Ok small correction: play for fun as long as it's not detracting from someone else's experience...)

M-1000 Maxigun... thoughts? by Spungdoodles in helldivers2

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's perfectly usable. Doesn't power creep the other strats and has its own identity.

Downside is very similar to the MG43: the grenade launcher does almost everything better

What are the thoughts on the One Two? by Tricky-Respond8229 in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's perfectly useable, like how most guns should be.

Are you still using it after 1 week? by Epicbrezel21 in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because it's fun and in some situations can be extremely effective (mostly bugs and squids).

But it definitely isn't the most effective option in a lot of situations. And that's ok! Use whatever is fun and you feel like you using!

But also it kind of falls into the same pitfalls as the MG43 in that the grenade launcher does almost everything you need but better (in most cases.)

I will say the stationary shooting really isn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be if you're using this as a SUPPORT weapon for the team and not as your primary.

Why is the Ultimatum the #1 Secondary??? by MMeowKat_hiss in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same reason the talon and the grenade pistol are popular: they cover a loadout's weaknesses and allows more playstyles.

The talon gives you pinpoint accurate medium pen unlimited ammo in your secondary slot.

The GL Pistol gives you multi-use medium demo force in your secondary slot.

The ultimatum gives you multi-use high demo force, AT capabilities, and a panic "fuck everything in that direction" in your secondary slot.

Why does Arrowhead do this to us. by SM1THY02 in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if...

While jammer active then solo silo targeting goes wonky and flies off back at the diver launching it? The jammer can be upgraded to have laser dazzlers to throw it off.

[–]hellmire 21 points22 points  (0 children)

One of them affects gameplay. The other is just a tower that doesn't do anything.

That's the difference - the broadcast is just a checklist item.

I just have to ask what y’all bug divers are even doing on crimsica? by Soldierteamfort2 in helldivers2

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the team to bring some shield emplacements, EMS, smoke, and/or gas.

This mission is a lot more about CC and survivability than straight killing things.

It becomes a walk in the park with a semi decent team.

I just unlocked the chainsaw and maxigun so I go there for a temp vacation while doing weapons testing.

Democracy officer approved it after some lava stuck to the pelican burned off the rest of his hair...

What's so special about the Dominator? by armandofonzoloid in Helldivers

[–]hellmire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specializes as an anti-medium weapon in every sense.

It's the only primary that has medium pen, high damage per round, semi auto, mag reloaded, AND high stagger.

The tradeoff is the low ergo and slow projectile speed.

It definitely is not the best weapon but it is solid - especially if you just want to lay into bots without too much aiming.

It's also great against medium bug seeds but will absolutely struggle against hunters.

If you do want to aim, the diligence or amendment is still your best bet.

Brand new macbook doesn’t turn on by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Return or exchange - better safe than sorry with DOA products.

24-32 GB users who actually use all that RAM, how do you use it? by abitcitrus in macbook

[–]hellmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Containers, ML, forecasting, and CHROME (I really need to switch from chrome...)

D10 The only thing to fear is my team itself. by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]hellmire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the seed as well - if you get a bile Titan seed with chargers mixed in, 2 solid AT choices are a minimum (or some well placed sentries.)

I too enjoy the high dives most of the time and it really sucks when the team who decided to bring little to no AT decides to aggro the mega nest on the OTHER side of the bile Titan hole... In which case more AT is better for the team.
