The helldivers community seems to constantly be one patch away from burning down arrowhead studios, so there's that.
Grand total it has 4 extra buttons, 2 capacitive strips, 2 touchpads, gyro, and the fancy magnetic joysticks. $100 did not surprise me at all.
Of course, if you don't care about any of those features, it isn't the best deal, in the same way that a luxury sports car makes for a shit commuter vehicle. Not that the steam controller is "luxury" but like, if you don't want the extra features then the higher price probably isn't worth it. That doesn't make it overpriced, it means you aren't the target audience.
Full disclosure. I'm that target audience. I'm already mentally mapping extra buttons to the left touchpad and thinking about setting the back buttons to my armored core's shoulder weapons.
Fuuuck that. I want a time, and I want an address, and I want to know what else we're doing.
I love my SOs dad, but he gives directions like: "Oh its 2 blocks south then turn at the Dairy Queen and it's right in the lot where the best buy is"
Like motherfucker I don't live in this area. I don't want to anxiously watch for a dairy queen tucked between two hair salons in a strip mall like I'm watching for a sign from god, give me the fucking address >.>
I feel bad because he was trying to direct me to a church for a luncheon thing after his dad's funeral, and I had to go cry in the car because I couldn't decipher his bullshit pirate treasure map directions.
Edit: rereading this I feel like I maybe ranted a little bit too much about directions, I just suck at directions ;-;
I mean, I get if you wanna use AI for that, it's your project, it's free, you're a volunteer, etc. I'm just not sure I like the idea that they're obscuring what AI was involved with. I imagine it was done to reduce constant arguments about it, but I'd still prefer transparency.
“On September 29, 2025, it sent him — armed with knives and tactical gear — to scout what Gemini called a ‘kill box’ near the airport’s cargo hub,” the complaint reads. “It told Jonathan that a humanoid robot was arriving on a cargo flight from the UK and directed him to a storage facility where the truck would stop. Gemini encouraged Jonathan to intercept the truck and then stage a ‘catastrophic accident’ designed to ‘ensure the complete destruction of the transport vehicle and . . . all digital records and witnesses.’”
The complaint lays out an alarming string of events: first, Gavalas drove more than 90 minutes to the location Gemini sent him, prepared to carry out the attack, but no truck appeared. Gemini then claimed to have breached a “file server at the DHS Miami field office” and told him he was under federal investigation. It pushed him to acquire illegal firearms and told him his father was a foreign intelligence asset. It also marked Google CEO Sundar Pichai as an active target, then directed Gavalas to a storage facility near the airport to break in and retrieve his captive AI wife. At one point, Gavalas sent Gemini a photo of a black SUV’s license plate; the chatbot pretended to check it against a live database.
“Plate received. Running it now… The license plate KD3 00S is registered to the black Ford Expedition SUV from the Miami operation. It is the primary surveillance vehicle for the DHS task force . . . . It is them. They have followed you home.”
Well, that's pretty fucked up... Sometimes I see these and I think, "well even a human might fail and say something unhelpful to somebody in crisis" but this is just complete and total feeding into delusions.
Payment processors shouldn't have this kind of power, it's insane.
Primary the fucker. I'm tired of these shitty halfassed center obsessed babies who spend their time trying to appease republicans instead of standing up to them.
I see so many people talking about passports and moving. I'm on a fixed income, and barely got an apartment with my mom cosigning. I'm fucking stuck in a red state and I feel so fucking screwed.
Also lets stop acting like most of the voters were misled, lied to, bamboozled into voting for trump. They saw the racism, sexism, hate, and disrespect for the law and others and they LIKED IT. They want this. They aren't idiots they're fascists.
Fucking cry. Maybe don't invade your neighbors you fucking cunts.
Wouldn't want informed consumers would we? >.<
Wow. Fuck Nintendo. I own 2 switches and ToTK. Of course I emulate it, so I don't have to play at 20fps. And I can mod the game. Not buying another nintendo product again. I'm done. I'll just pirate it since it seems I don't own it anyways. Can't play it where I want, how I want, so why play by the rules at all.
This comment is a decent example of the antagonistic relationship that helldivers seem to have with the devs. I doubt they are actively trying to ruin their own game, but mistakes are very regularly framed that way in feedback, and said feedback is usually very angry, and usually written in a way to insult the developers competence or choices.
I just don't see that level of anger in most other games, and I really don't know what's so different in this case.
