  • DRG+Helldivers is the explaination I hear most. As someone who has over 500 hours in the former, and didn’t really get caught up in the hype for the latter I gotta say, it’s really fun.

    Basically, you’re dropped into a map with a primary objective that you must complete, then move onto a boss fight, and finally run to an extraction zone after that. There are a bunch of additional side questy type things to do on each map as well. The gameplay itself is a lot of hoarde clearing, classic ‘circle strafe and shoot’ gameplay.

    There are two things which give this game this game some extra spice. First, there’s a magic system where you can take 3 spells per mission, these are elemental and the elements have different interactions (eg fire spells will cause acid from acid spells to explode). The other thing is wildcards, which drop from enemies and events which provide random buffs for the remainder of the mission, these have the classic rarity based color system from…like everything, and while they hit the dopamine receptors, they don’t change gameplay too much.

    There are different weapons to unlock, character stats to distribute, and a system where you unlock equipable cards so that you can go into a run with some buffs already applied.

    I bought the game on a whim to try it out yesterday and ended up accidentally spending 4 hours in there. I’d say if you like DRG or Helldivers its at least worth a try, you can always refund if it’s not your vibe.

    PS: When you finish a mission, you are immediately presented with the option to start a new mission or head back to the hub which is such an insanely nice QoL thing for back to back runs.







  • Hey mate, I was in the same spot roughly 6 months ago, and now have a pretty decent homeland hosting a bunch of services and it’s been amazing! I don’t really want to say what or how I set things up because I’m no where near competent enough to be offering guidance or advice, but I will say, if you have the time to knuckle down and learn, you can definitely do it! It’s very intimidating but by no means insurmountably hard.

    If you have an old PC that you don’t care about, you can just chuck some stuff on there to see if it’s something you would want to get into, wIth little to no risk.

    Has China ever expressed interest in joining NATO? Was there ever actually a declinature?

    New Zealand also isn’t part of NATO, does that mean NATO are imperialists AND flightless bird haters?

    Or is this another way I’m blinded by western media and China has been begging to get into NATO and they’re just not reporting it in my sheeple network?

    Draiman is a self-described “very strong supporter of Israel” and last June, he posted images of himself online signing an IDF bomb and appeared to write “Fuck Hamas” on it.

    Jesus Christ. It’s so exhausting to continually hear of absolute depravity from people who I used to think were so cool (albeit for this loser, it was when I was like 14).
