    SimCity's cooperative structure building - anything where the group has to earn "points". PvP asynchronous mechanics are essentially anything where a player can be attacked while offline.

  • Thought experiment: if you had to Iron Man the star chart with a single frame, who would it be?

    You don't get partial credit for an incomplete extractor and the waves don't get easier, and the extractors don't scale very well. On SP I've been in a position with certain frames (Loki even with irradiating disarm) where I couldn't clear a single extractor.

    I suppose this is true for defense objectives in general though - that one moon defense node on SP, for example - Stofler. And like the other person mentioned below for mobile defense.

    I think the big limiter here would be excavation maps. Zephyr would be my pick, as long as I can also use some sort of operator mode for spy, but i don't think it's strictly necessary. An un-forma'd Zephyr is steel path capable. ETA: 100% projectile defense for you and the thing you're standing next to is just too good.

    I mean, my Soma Prime is probably only powerful because of its riven. Does that count? I really enjoy guns that spew bullets but just keep firing.

    I think there are just a lot of WH systems. I went though a dozen or so yesterday and found a single miner, and only found one data site.

  • What non-prescription food/treats do you give your cat with kidney issues?

    He is so food motivated that his treats are just more of his usual prescription food, but stored in a different container than his regular food is given from.

  • Tell me about glue please: How do you connect a microcontroller that conditionally executes code in different languages over USB serial on a typical desktop distro?

    Yup, pretty much this. I have a small touchscreen Arduino device that I keep plugged into my PC. When I hit a button on the touchscreen it sends some text over serial (which is really a USB wire). I have a Python script on the PC that continuously reads from the serial port and parses the received data to figure out what to do. Specifically it tells my Discord bot to play a sound :)

    Been working on Elden Ring Seamless Co-op with some friends - actually two groups, but one plays intermittently so I fork my character to another slot every time. Trying to get my SO to play PlateUp but not much luck there. Also playing Hades Star on mobile but it just makes me want to play EVE hahaha.

    Yeah, same. I've played a few random helldivers matches here and there and haven't been kicked but I am still more comfortable hosting.

  • Some time ago I saw a gif from someone with what looked like a Japanese username. It was a gif of the spear doing 1-shot kills on bile titans and it had little lines showing how to line up the dot and the triangle relative to the launcher muzzle to hit the titan in the head. I can't find it now. Does anyone know where to find it? Frankly I think it was buried in a reddit comment thread but I just lurk over there these days. Edit: found it, it’s https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cu0ewh/comment/l4fggwq/ or https://imgur.com/a/ptvdcvf which is too large to post directly.

    I see forum feedback on Plague Star saying that it needs to be more efficient than 4? 12? plat (I forget if it is 4 or 12) per 8 minutes. Where does that figure come from?

    Right now I'm using Gyre to make it an "AoE" weapon with Cathode Grace/Rotorswell/Cathode Current, since this always crits, but single targets are intended to be killed by slash procs. I'm using a Panzer Vulpaphyla for Viral primer. I stacked base damage for the Hunter Munitions slash procs. I'm using Primary Merciless with the intention of bleed effect kills counting, but I'm not sure if they proc Primary Merciless or not. Incarnon mode feels like it shortens TTK but not by an extreme amount. The riven's effects on the current build are visible in the display. Some specific questions: Should I be using Hata-Satya here? What would you remove? Thoughts on what I should subsume over Gyre's 1? Tharros Strike seems redundant with the concept of slash procs even though it turns things into swiss cheese anyway. Roar is a staple (and I guess it would help rotorswell), but is there something else? Maybe Nourish for viral and using a sentinel companion for the vigilante set's chance to enhance critical hits? Of course I don't have Grendel yet so that'll be a bit of a chore :) Are there other warframes that might work better to make up for Soma's single target style? Should I swap out Critical Delay, since the riven on its own puts me at 93.4% crit (plus Cathode Grace), or is the extra 60% for 7.9x normal/8.8x incarnon worth it? Is the riven as good as it seems, or would you re-roll? What would you look for? I don't think the status is high enough for the new cold procs to help, or I would consider those.
