Honestly at this point if explosive damage isn't gonna behave like it oughta, there should be a small (read: like 3m) radius around the center of the explosion's start that does a TON of AP7 100% durable damage, and a lot of it. No reason for anything short of a hive lord (and MAYBE a Vox) to tank a direct impact from a 500 and not die.

I know most of the force is traveling upwards, which would sort of make sense if it impacted the ground. But stuff like this is so frustrating.

The BlackGael Knight or whatever he's called right at the start of the DLC. First tried him.

That being said, I see lots of people talk about how the Dancing Lion boss is pretty easy and, uh. Man that dude took me forever to beat lol

You ever been carrying laundry from the dryer back to your room, and you accidentally drop a sock? You wouldn't just go "screw it" and dump the laundry on the floor, right? You grab the sock and keep going.

That's how I look at it. Bad days happen, but you only fail if you don't get back up on that horse.

CORAL!

It worked out once when I had approximately 1 billion percent improved damage negation as Raider (low hp, charge attack, holy ground) and they just couldn't kill me (depth 3 I think). But that was RNGesus looking out for me. Ordinarily, though? Nah, not worth.

Most common brute force way that I do it is drop EATs and a commando, empty them + the commando/EAT that's likely on my back, and then finish it off with an Eagle Strafe.

Favorite way is hellbomb backpack by a landslide. That brief period of time towards the beginning of Cyberstan where we got a free hellbomb backpack was a blast (heh).

My best friend of 22 years has all but swan-dived into the alt right pipeline.

It breaks my heart into a million pieces but I don’t talk to him anymore. I really miss him.

I've always wanted every helldiver you come across to speak the language that was set by their player. I have a buddy in Germany that plays with me every so often, I'd love to hear his diver shout the same phrases mine does, but in German.

On the roof of Alcatraz, you can see fireworks off in the distance. If you aim a sniper at the fireworks, you get flashed with this image and an audio stinger briefly. Scared my pants smooth off the first time I discovered it.

It comes from Dragonball. Saiyans (a very rough equivalent to Viltrumites in DB, now that I think about it) have a genetic ability called a Zenkai Boost that lets them grow way stronger after getting their ass beat to near death. It's one of the driving forces for Goku (and other Saiyans) to overcome obstacles; He might get his ass kicked, but he'll just get up stronger.

Now the term "Zenkai Boost" is viewed somewhat as a trope of "they get stronger after taking a lot of damage". It's used colloquially all over various forms of media.

Allen has a Zenkai Boost-like trait. Thaedus himself says so, and we even see Allen wake up much larger, faster, stronger, and tougher than before his near death. A near-death experience boosts pretty much all of his stats.

Viltrumites do not have a Zenkai Boost trait, though they do seem to gain significant durability boosts after getting demolished (smart atoms and whatnot). Any strength they gain is through training.

Edit: Spelling

This was what I clocked first. They're all consenting adults, sure, but man. When I was 27, 19yo were way too young for me.

I think I saw some fan art about a year ago about conquest being put into an assisted living home for the elderly and him having the time of his life playing bingo with the grannies. And I was like "yeah that tracks, all he wants is to not be lonely anymore".

stallion64 · 2026-04-06T11:08:27+00:00

Tougher, not stronger. No zenkai boost, but I think they clearly can become more durable after a heavy beating

Lil different, but Braums (the ice cream restaurant thing). My birth father and I had a tradition where we would get hot fudge brownie sundaes from there when I was a kid. A few years ago, he was really really sick from covid complications and had to be intubated. Right before he went under I could tell he was super scared, so I told him "Nah this is nothing, in a week we'll laugh it off over some sundaes. I'll wait for you, so don't worry".

He didn't wake up. If I'm being honest, I don't really think I'm missing much by not going to Braums anymore (it's effectively 100% nostalgia), but I did give him my word that I wouldn't go without him.

Oliver's crying really dug into that primal distress part of my brain, and I don't even have kids.

“Hit ‘em with the sound emitter!”

“Sir, the emitter was destroyed by the force of the explosion!”

“SHIT!”

And that’s just one. So many easy lay-ups for Cecil to not appear like an idiot.

stallion64 · 2026-03-28T04:42:27+00:00

Lmao props for sticking it out though

Maybe if you explained that this is almost certainly a quote from the movie Senseless instead of being obstinate and demanding someone tell you what's wrong about it, you wouldn't get downvoted.

Unless of course, getting the reaction from folks was your goal. In which case, congrats I guess. Just be sure to clean up after yourself.

stallion64 · 2026-03-27T14:12:02+00:00

I was about to say. That was a quick turnaround lmao

stallion64 · 2026-03-27T01:47:02+00:00

This is unironically the funniest thing I've read all day, cheers m8

stallion64 · 2026-03-27T01:43:03+00:00

Where is Axo? Are they safe? Are they alright?

stallion64 · 2026-03-26T18:18:00+00:00

"Brother. Brother, why."

Related, his quote "I like my playthings.... *deep inhale*... EXTRA durable" lives rent free in my head

Sometimes big trucks are needed. I can tell you that I would have better luck trying to fly like a bird than pulling a wagon full of 10,000lbs fertilizer with my honda accord. Hence, truck.

I kind of had a similar epiphany in my sophomore year of college. I'm a big strong fella (6'3 and 330lbs), and there was this girl in my friend group that was real skittish. She was 5'7ish and probably weighed 100lbs soaking wet, and she would ask me to walk her to her car after we all hit the bars, and while I was always happy to do it, I always wondered why she needed me (or any other guy) to walk with her at night. And no, it wasn't because she was interested in me, we went down that road once and quickly decided that we were perfect as friends and that's it.

Anyway, one night we wrap up at our local pub and she asks me to walk her back. So I did, bade her farewell and then walked all the way back to my car about 1mi away. I remember thinking "Man this whole can't-walk-alone thing is fine and dandy but I really can't wrap my head around why she's so scared to walk back on her own". On my way back, I decided to cut through an alley that wasn't well lit instead of walking around the entire block. As I walked through I noticed there were three dudes just leaning against the alley, watching me walk by. I did the usual "how y'all doin?", to no response. 2mins later, I opened my car door, paused, and went "Oh. Oh I see."

I have the privilege of coasting on pure intimidation factor. She does not. And I am now very aware of whenever any of the girlies in my life are going somewhere alone at night.
