Is the best thing about #Helldivers the completely unironic “hug” emote, and the habit of quickplay mutual-randos to deploy it before disconnecting after a successful mission?
Like, “gg” is one thing, but this feels like a kind of aftercare policy spontaneously developed by the community of a violent video game and it is delightful. #Helldivers
My impression is that the satire of HellDivers 2 was made so extremely unsubtle that even the people who didn't realize that the Starship Troopers movie was satire will get it this time.
Watched Amy start a new #Helldivers game last night, and noticed the initial text crawl of Galactic War statistics, including the fact that the average age of a Helldiver is 18.5 years. Which means that you are explicitly sending wave after wave of anonymous, cult-raised teenagers to gruesome deaths, instead of the bumbling, brainwashed adults suggested by the voice acting and character models.
This is of course a lot truer to how real wars are fought, and this is also a lot less funny somehow.
Join in 30 minutes over on https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst and cheer for democracy with this new recruit. Capitalism for once defeated itself and thus the stream card for tonight will commemorate this momentous event!
I had a great time learning #Helldivers last night with a veteran friend's guidance, which means that now when I try a "trivial"-difficulty solo mission I lose because I get lost and run out of time instead of losing because all my guys die. #videogames
Believe it or not, on #Helldivers Discord their community manager has said that they are in talks with #Sony to change their mind. He made no promises, he is just being transparent on what the dev team is doing to make players happy.
Opened up the Arduino IDE for the first time in awhile and the last project I was working on is called “chicken_motor.” I have no idea what this is. #adhd
#Helldivers, are you missing the feeling of crushing steel beneath your feet? Try your hand at clearing bug holes! With a simple loadout you can increase your nest-clearing speed tenfold!
If you miss the thrill of being surrounded, give this a go!
#Helldivers! A new Major Order has been received from Super Earth! We have just over 24 hours to Liberate the 3 Terminid planets, Estanu, Crimsica, and Hellmire! However, the forces on Hellmire are currently impeding on the rapid spread of Liberty to Estanu and Crimsica.
Consolidate your forces, Helldivers! Remember the beginning of Phase 4!
Skipped my #workout yesterday in favor of staying dry inside and playing #helldivers. Weather is supposed to be sunny and warmer today, and I definitely notice unrest after two days not working out.
#Helldivers2 is one of the best #multiplayer games right now because it puts the player experience first. Read more about why the game is so much fun and successful:
