Everyone here is talking about conventions used on Linux, but this looks like Windows Explorer to me...?
Why are there so many directory names in there following Linux "hidden file" conventions, if that's the case?

I don't recall, I've never really liked it so I've completed it twice in my life and only once on Legendary. I remember some youtuber saying ammo is particularly scarce, though I think it's on par with Halo 3? Perhaps slightly more difficult, like Reach.

There are speedrunners that manage to finish H2 in a few hours, when I say it took a day for us I mean we woke up playing Halo, paused for lunch, and stopped playing after dinner.
What's impressive is that last year our brains didn't melt like they did the years prior *^*

Don't you worry, after H2, H3 becomes a breeze, H:R may be more of a challenge but without H2's bullshit. Mostly. I wonder if I'll ever manage to try and LASO some game at some point...

I can't say I'm too surprised. My country isn't devoid of shitty politicians only interested in leeching wealth either, nor in dumbass voters, but as far as I can tell US policy is exclusively moved by bribes from rich people.

I can't tell what the many groups of voters were thinking since I don't live there and I only see what makes its way to the Internet, but is it really that surprising that a perfect puppet ends up in the perfect place for a puppet to be, with a puppet master behind him?

Hey, if it makes you feel better, it gets easier with time.

My cousin and I have the tradition of running the entire Bungie-era Halos every summer, after three years we somehow got to the point where we can beat H2 in a single day.

You've just got to learn the cheese strats, like the ones you mentioned or skipping the Sniper Alley™ by going OOB at the beginning of the mission.

Probably played Halo 2 on legendary and bringing back the traumatic memories upsets them, I can't even blame them if that's the case

I vaguely know that you're quoting Futurama, but what about toothpaste? I don't think they're made with animal body fluids

  • Hey, shit happens
  • Could be worse
  • Whoops, wrong gear
  • Tesla Cyberforklifts, amirite?

Funny enough, this happened to me right before my final exam in high school, though it was Windows instead - it killed itself with an update somehow.

Fortunately that was just my laptop and it didn't happen during the exam.

VS Codium did that at some point, it probably still does but I haven't checked

If you use the character 0x20 in a file name, yes

Not ALL major political conflicts in the galaxy, you didn't solve one in the first game and only solved one in the second one (with the solution being "RIP, batarians").

 

The single game I "played" on Windows was Helldivers 2, when I Steam Family'd it from a friend before trying it out through Proton.

... hold on, "players are unable to emote when flying through the air"?
Is that currently possible or is it supposed to be? Either way I have questions.

Wtf is this EULA clause (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

What does "make other public performance of it" mean? Am I subject to licence revokation if I make a screenshot and post it on social media or something?

 

The HELLDIVERS™^©®^³ 2 EULA is a god damn URL

literally unplayable

 

Things that happen in game differently from my headcanon:

  • During a dive, destroyers just hang around over player heads
    • Even worse, there's an actual game mechanic that causes orbital stratagems to have an AoA at 90° at the center of the map but lower it at the edges, like the ships were actually hovering over the center (realistically, all orbital stratagems calls would have roughly the same AoA)
      • I say "even worse", because I have to actively ignore a decision the devs made for the sake of realism rather than just tell myself "eh, they didn't think about this too much"
  • Orbital stratagem timings make no sense, and are strictly a gameplay balance issue that cannot be realistic: the loading screen shows the first helldiver drops well outside the atmosphere and take several minutes to reach the ground, but turrets take 3 seconds to deploy? This game sucks, literally unplayable
  • Surely Eagles must be capable of atmosphereless flight, if the cheap ahh shuttle is?
  • At the beginning of the loading screen, the destroyer doesn't have an atmospheric re-entry fire effect which would be countered by shields or whatever

Things that oddly do make sense:

  • Hellpods do have the atmospheric re-entry fire effect immediately after launching, which wouldn't make sense in the absence of (less than extremely thin) atmosphere
  • ... that's it, actually

The reason I made this nerd emoji of a post:
I've played KSP and my suspension of disbelief towards games or shows with spaceships is completely broken.
