Girls when I show them my melee kill count at the end of the mission

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't know if I've ever actually gotten a melee kill. Does the new armor help? Is it viable to just start punching stuff?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

It's always viable to punch stuff. You don't want to waste your bullets when they can be used later to defend democracy.

Oh I do it out of rage. When my guns empty and the bug still isn’t dead, it’s gonna contend with these knuckles of freedom 🦅👊.

Plus it saves bullets that could otherwise be used for more democratic purposes.

You guys are getting to the post-mission screen? I’m 0/2 today, disconnect and crash. Both times near the end of Suicide missions. Over an hour, down the toilet.

Tons and tons of bugs today, multiple people got stuck in the air when coming down. Super samples unable to be picked up, people glitching into the floor, objectives bugged so only 1 person could activate them.

Luckily one of those glitches caused me to get a double bile titan kill with 1 orbital railcannon lol

You still get all the xp and samples etc no? It happens to me and I wasn't getting annoyed because I thought I still got everything??

Now that you mention it, I played 3 games last night and it crashed on 1.

When they see my "Shots Fires" and "Shots Hit" stats 😎😳 (the sickle has crazy rate of fire) (my kills are in the bucket)

Chicks dig guys with accuracy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Idk about accuracy, but if you take 10,000 shots and only 10% of em hit, you're still crushing the scorcher betas in hit count 🗿

And she puts it back on when she sees my Accidentals stats. I’m up to 125 total now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol I can't believe you're keeping track!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure the game does that for you on your career tab

"Girls"? How old are you, OP?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I could've gone with "ladies" but that seemed a bit creepy. I suppose it's gonna be sleazy no matter how it's worded, due to the context.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

The women in my life prefer to be called women. Girls implies young, which is creepy for a man to say, to a lot of women. Ladies would have been much less creepy than girls, imho.

While I appreciate the thought you've put into this, I'll share the scant details on what went through my head when creating this meme:

I opened up my meme app, clicked a template and this came up:

I then thought, "haha that'd be pretty funny if I changed it to something about kills in Helldivers." Then I clicked backspace a few times, wrote a few words, and here we are.

I mean, I'm not sure what thought you think I put into it other than lived experience. I encourage you to ask the women in your life their opinions.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Disagree. "Girls" is used colloquially all the time, whereas (broadly speaking) "ladies" is a relatively more formal term which specifically refers to older women.
