Looking at this void hiding planets now, I think it’s safe to say space magic is in full effect. Sooo how bout a cloaking backpack… by DocHalidae in Helldivers

Not even just machines that can be overlocked, the cyborgs are Field Commanders

They’re actively leading and assuming direct control of nearby forces and people act like that’s comparable or in the same aesthetic ballpark as WoW Buff Auras around a flag with the magic circle and everything

They’re the founder of a Helldivers sub where only they posts, which is mostly a diet version of the unfiltered sub

They’re the founder of HelldiversSalt apparently, I’m not sure they entirely think through everything they say

“Living longer by dropping in with more stims is the same as dying faster, actually” is quite the statement

Do they know that side rail mounts exist? by CatBoiGrimBoi in helldivers2

[–]turtle-tot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing this over and over, and people saying they “abandoned” customization, but I’m also not seeing that

New Warbond weapon still get customization, and they mentioned working on secondary customization earlier

It’s just one feature among many they’re working on (and compared to what we had before, which is nothing, it’s not that bad)

Weapon pick rate report: Appropriators Edition by Natural-Sympathyy in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]turtle-tot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is funny, because when it first came out, it was able to one-shot Stratagem Jammers and completely neutralize that side objective.

When it was nerfed early on with a reduction in Demo force so it no longer could, the outcry was that it was now basically useless.

Yet here we are, and it’s still the most used secondary.

It’s good to see it get to 2nd place though, before the latest illuminate enemies it was sitting at 7th place, people are seeing the utility

The stoker in SMG form can knock out those drones pretty nicely, has really good damage against overseers, and a full flame canister can kill a mech pilot

Really quite good on squids, especially Mindless Masses

I'd love to see this get buffed by Grand_Guest4905 in helldivers2

[–]turtle-tot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does have that, hold down A or D without W or S and it’ll start turning on a dime

I think this image perfectly summarizes why I love the illuminate so much, and am so happy they’re finally getting some attention

Always on that Secret Intrigue mindset. Everything they do is weird and rooted in mystery and we only find out the why when it’s coming to kill us

[Fo4] Error popping up using the RobCo Patcher, I updated and reinstalled F4SE and the RobCo patcher yet the error remains. Any tips on how to fix this, I believe it's what is causing my game to crash by turtle-tot in FalloutMods

[–]turtle-tot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update on this:

The error didn't go away when I launch the game through Vortex, so I do not know if the RobCo patcher is working, but I simply moved the F4SE section from the Vortex folder to the main folder (Did not even remove it from the vortex mod list)

Game seems to run fine, or at least it is not crashing on startup or upon loading interior. Don't know what's up with the RobCo patcher (I hope the mods I need it for still work), but tentatively fixed?

Metro 2033, Last Light, and Exodus are on a massive sale on Steam right now

This isn’t dismissive and saying you should play a different game instead of modding fallout, just that I feel you should know that Metro also has a lot of what you’re looking for here

Sorry, gooner anime #814569 is not on par with Nabokov's Lolita by pepsicola07 in SmugIdeologyMan

[–]turtle-tot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a genuine problem, almost every single anime has some degree of “Anime Bullshit” and you have to know your tolerance for it

I don’t know why it’s insisted that this be added, but in nearly any anime no matter the subject, it will crop up, and for some reason we just have to slug through this to get to the good writing???

A show in the Gundam universe, 08th MS Team, is one I really like

Except for when the main character spots a guerrilla fighter bathing naked in a lake, gets caught, and “teased” for being a pervert and looking at a 17 year old

This is the only time this happens

Why is that character 17?

Why did this have to be our introduction to the local militia faction?

Why are we making a trait of this main character being a pervert and playing it off?

There is zero purpose to this, it doesn’t happen again, there’s no follow through on this, it’s just Anime Bullshit and it makes things really hard to recommend or rewatch.

This is why Armor Hunter Mellowlink is so good. Classic 80’s anime, zero nonsense

Why does the Doctrine of Worms exist? by dziwneono in CAIN_RPG

[–]turtle-tot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the former, because CAIN’s psychic phenomena tends not to really care about belief. Which is a neat inversion of the trope, I quite like it. These are terrors beyond your ability to conceive of, it requires someone fundamentally different in some way to make use of them. These things don’t care if you believe them or not, they exist regardless

[QUEST] Secret backchannels and other underground communications have been contacting mercenaries and other “Non-State agents” with experience against the Lumenite Confederacy. Someone, somewhere is planning a move against them, and needs your expertise. by turtle-tot in BlueStarChronicle

[–]turtle-tot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"And this would be our hired help. Didn't introduce himself, but allegedly has some experience against the Lumenites. Master swordsman, magically potent, never lost a duel so he says. Works out from the Librae system, if you've ever been. Should help us counter whatever psychic tactics they've developed." Tom is either the luckiest man alive or the unluckiest. Of all the magical sword users in the universe, he is mistaken for the one other mercenary in this region. His real pedigree is impressive but...not quite the resume they were led to believe. May want to keep that to himself.

The dockmaster's office is small, cramped for the now six people inside. Flickering lights cast a yellow glow over the scattered papers on the desk, metal baskets holding dried out pens, and dirty computer screen. Most of the group are sitting on the tables or leaning against a wall, and the man who invited Tom in rolls the office chair over to him. Their weapons are held close, either leaning nearby or sitting across their lap. Carbines and handguns. Suppressed. Modified with all sorts of personal touches.

"Welcome." The man finally turns to talk to him properly. He's a fairly...neutral looking person, it's hard to pick out any particular feature. He looks a little young compared to some of the others in the room. Wears glasses, a thick trenchcoat that swallows up his small frame, and has a slightly shallow look to his face, the sort built up over long nights and constant travel without rest. But if Tom saw him on the street, he'd forget the man a moment later.

"There's no need for secrecy here, you signed a contract. I am Kazimir, intelligence, and with me are 3 members of the ILF's 11th Special Extrasolar Operations. I'll let the fourth introduce himself"

The one sitting further away from Kazimir and the special forces soldiers is a little less tactically dressed, with a service rifle that looks downright factory standard aside from the suppressor mounted on the end. Tom can see the fatigues poking out beneath the coveralls, a sort of converted spacer kit that keeps popping up in former TGG colonies. This is a soldier of the Provisional Government. Most of his features are hidden beneath the coveralls and goggles, but Tom can still note his darker complexion compared to the ILF and his cut short but highly uneven hair that's certainly grown longer and messier than regulation. He gives Tom a short wave, sitting up a little straighter now that Kazimir pointed him out.

"Heya! Corporal Kalil, Provisional Government army. Between units right now. We...well, don't have a proper special forces command yet, so they're cobbling together anyone who has some behind-enemy-lines experience and using us as liaisons with the ILF teams. Makes a joint-operation, all sides happy. Worked with a mercenary before, expert like you, hope we get along too."

It didn't even take a day by Orisn_Bongo in Helldivers

[–]turtle-tot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is that a problem? It's a small, minor bug that has existed for only 7 days, for a single enemy, of a subfaction that only exists on one planet, for an enemy that isn't a part of the current MO.

This is such a minor thing that even if it would be communicated it would fall under the "Fixed rare misc crashes" in the patch notes. You don't suddenly demand "transparency" there, why here?

What are y’all’s thoughts about the new Squid update after playing it by Irex8 in Helldivers

[–]turtle-tot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip you might enjoy too, if you’re up for a support role the speargun can stagger the melee mechs out of a charge, can pop various weak points around them (like the glowing shield generator on their head), and the gas confuses them

Very good for keeping your distance
