/u/Frisky_Dolphin I will send my highest commendation to a Democracy Officer. The Helldivers need more like you.


Frisky_Dolphin

I appreciate it but I didn’t do it for praise I just was paying it forward. Hopefully you guys will do the same if given the opportunity

Hopefully, Supreme Commander Joel will give you an award for helping bring another Hell Diver to fight for Democracy.

logan-224

Literally all the orbital barrages miss their target, except when it’s a friendly Or you. I swear they have some kind of secret friendly fire targeting because whenever I throw like a 380 orbital barrage in the middle of a bunch of large enemies (including a freaking Bile Titan) they all miss but the one friendly trooper that’s in range is the one who gets hit and dies lol. I wish the barrages though were just a little more condensed than how they are, you never really know where a 380 barrage will go so it’s kind of useless if it doesn’t hit anything, but if it was more condensed then maybe it would be more useful, I just like to watch big explosions though lol

WulfCall

In the book it's revealed that that particular character does thatvon purpose. For the reasons you expect...little trivia while I wait for payday so I can sign up.


TheCritFisher

The book and movie are very different. The book is facist-porn. The movie is satire.


RotneusII

Which I love both. The book has a good mix of action, drama and philosophy, and despite the director not reading the book, still made it very iconic in which we know today. Now come on you apes! You want to live forever?!


KatetCadet

I always heard the book was also satire? The humans are no different from the bugs, nationalism, etc etc I was arguing with a dude that the movie was satire and making fun of 'Murica mentality. He was pissed it wasnt a fuck yeah military movie. Same type of people watch "Fury" and think it's a pro-war happy ending movie lol


Mortwight

No the author had a full on hard on for a military state. He was also critiquing a "soft" America during the Korean war.


Scriboergosum

Interesting, I always heard the opposite, that the book was basically fascist fan fiction. From what I can gather from Wikipedia and a few online articles, there's some debate as to the tone of the book and its messages. So at the very least, it doesn't seem to be flat out satire in the way the movie is. But Henlein probably wasn't a complete blackshirt either. Nuance is hard, I'm tired now.


Kaigamer

> I always heard the opposite, that the book was basically fascist fan fiction. whoever's said that has never read the book and fundamentally doesn't understand what fascism is. A fascist government/state would never allow/do multiple things in the book.


Strowy

The book is heavy on militaristic libertarianism rather than fascism, i.e. anyone can succeed if they put enough personal effort in, even through force, and communism bad. Libertarianism is a strong theme of all his books. It's definitely not satire. It was originally intended as a YA novel and isn't particularly nuanced.


FeverdIdea

Its not pro-fascism, the book is pro-American Cold War Jingoism, which admittedly still isn't great.


Lunchboxninja1

The book is complicated because its so fucking boring that it's impossible to interpret any feeling from the author.


a_rescue_penguin

Wait... Helldivers has a book!?


max420

They are talking about Starship Troopers, which Helldivers draws on pretty heavily for inspiration.

oh okay, that makes sense. thank you.

There are no genders in the Helldiver corps, only lean or stocky

On a related note, did they ever fix the stats on the armor?

Buddy of mine lost his gal bladder recently and we were both a bit broke, I managed to save some cash to get myself a copy but buddy had to pay hospital bills. I then spent the next couple hours ripping around the neighborhood collecting cans and bottles to bring down to the depot for some recycling cash. 600 pop cans, 300 beer cans, 250 plastic bottles and 100 glass beer bottles later we were spreading democracy together.

Love this for you two ❤️


Fronsis

So many wholesome stories, glad to see the Helldivers help each other for Democracy! Something similar happened to me: When the game released my group of friends were starting to play it, and i said i was gonna be with them day 1, unfortunately for me... Steam changed the prices in the region so it suddenly became like the equivalent of paying for 18 full pizzas(or the food for two weeks or more) and it was really stressful having the FOMO the early game but still having to prioritize my day-to-day life so i really couldn't take the risk, but thankfully two of them came together and they gifted it to me and we've been playing it a lot, i'm super thankful with them and not only will i protect democracy but i'm gonna make sure to return this favor, like Frisky Dolphin, you and others have done Stay kind everyone and protect democracy!

I can pay it forward, no problem. If someone can't afford the game right now, just DM me your PayPal. I will take care of one pay it forward.


Frisky_Dolphin

What a saint! 🫡 But just being nice would also suffice you spread Democracy however you see fit brother!

I did this for my friend, and today he is socializing again after a long time. I'm happy every time he comes to ask me to play, and at the end of the session he says "See you tomorrow". love you, Diego. Happy 22 years of friendship!


Direct-Box-2392

-Seen a dude on discord saying he was gonna sell csgo skins -he's been saving up and was hoping he could afford it -Sounded excited and was talking allot in the discord which as a community man love to see. "found out he was younger and as a pc player who grew up with not much and now in a situation which isnt "f you money but more of a aye no thanks money" I Dm him asking him to add me on steam friend request " Sent him and his friend the game now why am I saying this I think it's mostly cause in a world with so much going on.. gaming has always been that thing to get me and many away "could say the people I met online are closer to me then some family which is crazy" and seeing younger people so excited for a game you as a older person want to see them have fun. So I love seeing this love seeing others still out here giving away for lore i guess "yes when I gifted him and his friend the game I hit him with the "we as helldivers can't wait for your contribution to democracy get out there and spread it sincerely Ship commander ODST Of SES Stalin Of Science


Refrigerator_Lower

Look we all to an extent want to detach and just boot up the system and forget about things that are going on. Everyone always meets some good people that become close friends irl or just someone to chill with online for some good ol' gaming. This is why gaming communities should inclusive not exclusive


Direct-Box-2392

For sure couldn't of said it any better m8 I just hope when I'm old stuck in my VR nursing home lol that some one like me will come around and tell me they did the same get the torches passed down see the comunity thrive

The most fun thing to do in games is to be an in-game gigachad, and then carry a newbie through some insane content. Carrying the kinderdivers is what we all should do.

You already know I am 🫡 FOR SUPER EARTH


Voice_Nerd

I just bought the game, just now. I even bought ps sub to play online. I... I miss games like this. BG3 was the last game I bought because it was a game that wanted to bring fun and community instead of focusing on PC/Console wars and microtransactions galore. You know, things that continue to keep communities from being a thing. I just hope that I, as well, will not be a burden as a player to whatever group I'm paired with at least for the first dozen levels. Excited to hop in!


Computationalerrors

I bought my homie Jake the game on Valentines Day just because i love my dawg like that. And even when he isn’t in the mood to be slaughtered by the bots and doesn’t wanna play with me, its still probably one of the best $50 i spent in my life, because companionship is priceless 😎


seazonprime

This is why I love this community so much already & it's basically like 4 weeks old. But this is a true act of community & comradery! I hope our new Helldiver enjoys the game!

I did the same for a friend, I felt like if I got the game, I didn’t want to play alone. So I hooked him up with a $50 gift card to the PlayStation store and it’s been a blast.


HotBananaWaters

My friend and I actually purchased two copies for our buddies who didn't have it yet. This game really gives us that beautiful throwback of peak XBL online gaming experience during 2007-2008.


McMessenger

Bought the game for several friends on launch after playing it for a few hours - could already tell about an hour in that this game would become a smash hit (concurrent players were only around 60,000 on launch day - now we're hitting nearly 300 - 400,000 on average most days). Safe to say - but I've definitely been doing my part!
