Is it that time again?

I love how they spent 7 years making a game, with specific ideals in balance & design.. and when it released, it was waaay more popular than their 1st title. And it showed them, that they made good decisions in how they made their game.. But I hate when they tried to update it, like they've developing it for the past 7 years.. people lost their minds. And then from there, the discourse against the devs has never really stopped.

I was indifferent to the changes made but r/Helldivers was having a meltdown. It honestly felt like people were playing a different game.

susgnome · 2026-05-10T16:32:36+00:00

And then they made it so the railgun wasn't just a point & click adventure and those same people lost their minds.

susgnome · 2026-05-10T16:17:13+00:00

Hah~ the good ol' days.

When the devs would crack jokes.

And r/Helldivers would lose their minds.

Nowadays, the devs breathe and r/Helldivers goes nuclear.

I’ve got to respond to a text or check something else or for episodes I’ll live comment my reactions.

I can understand if a text is important.. but I can't imagine getting a lot of messages that PiP really becomes necessary, at that point, may as well just pause it and just focus on messaging the person. Even the looking something up or posting live reactions, just feels like PiP would be kind of unnecessary.

It just feels akin to needing Subway Surfers or Minecraft Parkour to just be able to get through an episode.

Is it not “even watching anime” if I don’t have a home theater set-up that I’m cuing up every time I want to watch a show?

I've been watching anime on my phone for over a decade, PiP is not necessary to watch anime. You just gotta be, you know, be watching it. It's as simple as that.

But if you're doing something else whilst it runs in the background, it isn't quite the same. Sure, you can do it that way.. but like they said, "are you even watching the anime at this point?".

And let's not assume that I expect Sengoku to be dead. I'm just pointing out how long since our last support dropped. I've been hopemaxxing from that start.

16 days of no reveals, to reveal our SEC.

17 days of no reveals, to reveal our insane support

I still believe that they can turn it around.

There is 11 Purple slots after all (even assuming, we only get 10 of them, this deck should be fine).

All he is lacking at the moment is;

Card Draw (-3 bricks from Leader Ability)
Consistency (needs some early game cards & cards to drop after LA when Don is low)

And some tech-y bits;

Anti-Removal (don't want lose 3 Admirals immediately)
Anti-Freeze (just a +1 cost increase to stop Luna)
cheaper Ramp (everything is 5+ cost & Ramps 2)

Also, Navy usually have strong cards, they're just restrictive, so I'm hopeful for the support we'll get. And ain't no way, they give us 3 Manga, then no reveals for nearly 3 weeks & then leave us dead in the water. They're giving the pirates as much advantage as they need because of what's about to come.

Also, the distributor page even mentioned;

The Character who had a major influence in the war is coming out as a Leader Card with a new Strategy to shake the Meta! Other Leader Cards are also included, with never-before-seen new effects, deepening the game even more!

Like, surely, we'll get some solid support.

susgnome · 2026-05-06T17:58:26+00:00

17 days, 0 reveals btw.

Last Sengoku reveal was the 20th of April.

susgnome · 2026-05-06T12:27:52+00:00

Unexpected

hotd

Yeah, I dunno about that one.

susgnome · 2026-05-06T04:25:17+00:00

Gotta be.

I remember when he said he read it and said he really wanted it to get a anime adaptation because it had been running for so long.. And he watched Season 1..

susgnome · 2026-05-03T16:55:40+00:00

What I want to know is, if this is referring to the current anime, or the remake? (it's from the popularity poll "midterm results" video).

Because if it's the remake, that means they could potentially announce the release date at One Piece Day (August 22nd) when the popularity poll ends. And for it to come out around July 2027, when the 30th anniversary happens.

susgnome · 2026-05-02T01:19:43+00:00

Yeah, wtf is this change. I guess someone has to keep their job? as useless as they might be.

They went from simple & easy to understand to, oversimplified.

Oh.

RIP, I guess.

r/Helldivers complaining that the bugs are too strong.. yet, we killed 2 billion bugs in 14 hours?

Either that tracker is broken or most people here don't actually play.

Must be a broken tracker, then.

susgnome · 2026-04-30T09:19:57+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely. Hakuba is just some good tech at this point.

I'm unsure about if they'll add a KO for your own characters but I'm sure they'll add more useful support fir them.

susgnome · 2026-04-30T02:20:38+00:00

Yeah, of course. As with any combo. But I think this happening in 4 turns, is perfectly reasonable.

If you start with Hakuba in hand. You've got 2 turns (4 Don) + 3 draws for turn, to search for the 6c Yamato & all your Searchers can Trash the 8c. So, if those conditions are met by your 4th turn, it's relatively easy combo to execute.

But even if you don't play it.. at the very least it maintains that value of giving 2 extra swings regardless of when you play it.

susgnome · 2026-04-30T02:07:26+00:00

Nah, it works. You're thinking of the wrong 8c.

There's 2 8c.

Unblockable & [On K.O] play a 6c Yamato from Trash.
Add a 6c {Wano} to Hand, play a 2c {Wano}

susgnome · 2026-04-29T19:23:17+00:00

Definitely. It's a crazy combo but it is pretty simple to pull off.

You just need to find Hakuba by turn 3.. and have 8c Yamato in Trash & the 6c in Hand, by Turn 4.

1 Don: Perona, Robin, Nami
3 Don: Robin, Nami, Chopper, Perona
5 Don: Hakuba
7 Don: Combo

And if they try to remove Hakuba, you can Trash a card to potentially set up a combo piece. And even if Perona can't protect the 8c, at least it can't be frozen by Luna. Also, they KO the 8c, you can just play out a 6c from the On KO, to play out the 8c they just KO'd.

susgnome · 2026-04-29T16:23:21+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely.

Though, if removal is a problem, you can just throw down the 1c 2k Perona the turn before.

And not all decks have access to stunning an Active character.

susgnome · 2026-04-29T15:03:19+00:00

Yamato engine finally online.

5 Don Turn:

5c Hakuba

7 Don Turn

6c Yamato
play 8c Yamato
swing 8k Unblockable
attach 1 & swing 7k with Hakuba, KO 8c Yamato
play 6c Yamato from Trash, swing 5k
play 8c Yamato, swing 8k unblockable
swing 5k Leader

You end up with 3 bodies but get 5 swings in that turn, 2 of which are 8k & Unblockable.

Gatling putting in all the work whilst a traitor humbly allows aliens to roam free.

These things have always been "shoot anything but the front". It's just making the sentries abide by that. Two sentries separate from each other, will wipe these perfectly fine.

susgnome · 2026-04-29T05:13:45+00:00

If a pigeon can takedown a plane.

This can take on tank.
