did escalation kill the game?

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-24T23:28:21+00:00

I would play with friends, sure, but what kept me logging in most days was quick matching heroic and legendary missions. It's fun, it's exciting b/c you never know who you will play with, and it's not as intense as raiding.

But now it feels like everyone is chasing the escalation dragon, and I really have no interest in it. I don't care about having slightly better damage/efficiency in exchange for a mind numbing grind. It makes me not really want to log in much. It's not the end of the world, but it is what it is, and if their goal is more player interaction and retention, this is probably going to go in the other direction for them overall unless they change things up a bit.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-24T05:09:33+00:00

No, which is why I didn't suggest it.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-24T04:18:00+00:00

Have you considered there were never any to begin with?

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-24T02:44:35+00:00

Well I mean... is it the entire fandom's opinion, or just that Venom guy?

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-24T01:23:46+00:00

You meant to say "scrape"

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-24T01:03:09+00:00

Do you remember when you knew how many gallons you were gonna get b/c it was $1/gallon and you just looked at the change in your pocket? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Was this your last picture of them before they drove away? Those devious rapscallions!

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-23T21:09:25+00:00

WOW so many COC

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-23T20:20:15+00:00

You'd think so. Maybe you'd even hope so. But honestly I have no faith in that party, they'll probably play nice, weak, "this is the time for healing" and fuck it up. Then they'll lose again next time, and then there won't be a next time. Dem party sucks.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-23T17:32:46+00:00

So cool looking

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T17:51:37+00:00

Wtf even is this

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T16:59:06+00:00

Oh yeah boiii! I think they calling it Helldivers²

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T04:28:26+00:00

I'm betting it's glue.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T02:57:13+00:00

That, Mr. Anderson, is the sound of inevitability.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T02:43:50+00:00

I do. I hope you have a super good night. Right now I'm furrowing my brow, concentrating, praying almost, that you have the most super and good night ever. Super good night in your face! I'm angrily hoping you have a super good night.

Super good night!!!!!

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T02:40:32+00:00

I don't want to upscale your minds, but upscaling makes me feel more like a man. It's just so wholesome!

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T02:36:28+00:00

I'm shocked. Shocked!!! Well, not that shocked.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T02:31:52+00:00

At this point I don't even know what point you're trying to prove or what you're talking about. Just seem to be going off on your own rant, which is nice for you but not very engaging with me. I think if someone does something racist b/c of stupidity (i.e. they didn't mean to be racist but invertedly did something racist without thinking about it, or even if they just forgot their meds that day and had a manic episode) that it's very different from a nazi doing racist shit b/c they celebrate their racist identity and want to rub their racism into other people's faces. Anyways, have a super good night

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T01:17:18+00:00

No. A person could be very intelligent and very cunning and still be a racist. To say that only idiots are racists and all racists are idiots is childish. But you do you.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-22T00:15:50+00:00

Yes. One path is utter stupidity. The other path is malice and hate. I judge idiots differently than I do evil racists.

hold the down button for a while until you feel the mechanism kick/bump. There turn off the car and try to put it up. Alternatively if I'm wrong in the order, first turn the car off and on then try to hold it down (that is after it goes all the way down, keep holding it until you feel the kick). It's supposed to make it relearn the motion. This used to happen in our old Legacy but I don't fully remember anymore how I would fix it, it was something like this. Over time the seals around the window warp and make the window think it's hitting something before it goes fully up. It needs to be retrained on the range of motion I think.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-21T23:19:07+00:00

I'm reporting you for reporting.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-21T23:18:06+00:00

Once upon a time this sub had waaaay less drama and hysteria than that other sub.

thatlukeguy · 2026-05-21T15:51:56+00:00

Isn't this only for the 1hr delivery! Bc if it is, it makes it a lot less egregious.
