It's a core weakness of Helldivers 2. Since the game is no longer restricted to having all players within a tight radius (unlike the first game), the game allows for splitting up.

The only task that demands cooperation is the optional vault doors. All the other main objectives and side objectives can be solo'd. Terminid Chargers could be an excellent focal point for cooperation but flanking a charger doesn't help kill it faster, it just lets you shoot the bottom half of its rear for 30 secs until you cause it to begin bleeding out.

It is safer for the rest of your team if you bring answers to all the problems on your own because you could be waiting for anyone to respawn. And if you have an answer to every enemy type then you might as well split up since you don't need another pair of hands to complete any objective. Having multiple guys on the objective does not make it go faster, so it's better to start countdowns simultaneously.

What many democracies around the world are missing is greater recallability in offices. Citizens need to be able to easily oust people nonviolently.

If only it was as pointed as all that. Repubs try to mobilize right populism for the benefit of the rich, and Dems try to redirect left populism for the rich. The DNC is practically mandated to neuter progressivism on behalf of donors.

I've had thoughts along those lines. Like how everything I buy is just something my employer technically spent money on with the indirect expectation I am making purchases to keep myself relatively fit for work. But atomization is capitalism's greatest strength, this economy runs on scapegoats and finger wagging.

I save caffeine for the weekends and always thought it made me feel awesome. Now I know why.

Right yeah, Kris is my favorite by far. A little edgy and a little surreal.

They used to write and illustrate separately. Not sure if they still do but back when I visited the site I remember having a favorite illustrator. So C&H was especially prone to this.

Im sysadmin for a private school. I stare at the top of the walls when I move through hallways, one word from a parent or student and I'm fired.

FWIW the dev claims to hate gambling. Playing Cards and poker hands are just theming, as you visit the shop more things really get off rails, but even before that you have multiple hands to get the target score and multiple mulligans to shape those hands.
