I believe Sony owns the Helldivers IP, so they may not have had much choice in the matter.

I play coop PVE games with random matchmaking, Helldivers 2 is still a lot of fun with random people.

Ice cream scoopin’, shittin’ poopin’, shittin’, poopin’

But more seriously, MF DOOM (RIP) is one of my favourite artists, but he’s been covered in a few comments already. But one of my favourites from him is:

Getting paid like a biker with the best crank
Spray it like a high-ranked sniper in the West Bank

Yes thankfully, been having fun the past few nights!

Also swapping the .dll file trick worked before the patch to get me a few games on monday

Oh that’s good to hear, hopefully this weekend won’t be too bad. I did manage to get in a few times last weekend, but with matchmaking completely not working I didn’t really want to play by myself anyway.

How is it currently with USA peak times?

Since the first patch this week I’ve had no issues getting in, but I am in Oceania so I’m probably not playing at the peak times.

I haven’t gone past ‘Challenging’ difficulty yet, but the friendly fire makes for some funny antics. Fighting against the robots feels quite different to the bugs too, it can make it feel like a different game.

DRG is great too, although haven’t played it in quite awhile.

I finished Alastair Reynold’s Pushing Ice a few months ago and it’s kind of close to what OP is looking for. Also a really good book!

I’m enjoying Helldivers 2. I’m too old for competitive games and love a good PvE co-op game.

It’s a little grindy to unlock weapons and stratagems, but feels about the same as the first game

Poop at work. Not only do you get paid to poop, you save money on toilet paper.

Genius.com usually has annotations to explain song lyrics. Usually they’re guessing the intent of the artist though. Or are you wanting differing interpretations? I’m not sure if there’s anything like that.

This article is from 2022. I received an email from YouTube yesterday for the Turkey family plan is going up to 115.99 TRY from 59.99.

That’s a good one. I like to use tropical mix frozen fruit in summer. Usually has pineapple, mango, dragon fruit etc. in it

If you have a decent blender, making smoothies is an easy way. If you don’t like the taste you can just hold your nose and gulp it down.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

According to Wikipedia:

The potato is a starchy food, a tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum and is a root vegetable native to the Americas.

They are usually sold with the other vegetables in a supermarket because they are a root vegetable.

Let’s stop arguing and just enjoy fries instead

Potatoes come from a plants roots and should be considered a vegetable. And fries are made of potatoes. Therefore I say it’s a salad.

So if I put my fries on a seperate plate it’s a salad? Good to know

I would totally watch Shrek 2: The Passion of the Christ

I might try again next year. I’m slowly reclaiming the lawn and turning it into growing spaces so should have more room then.
