- Comment on A Destiny-style social hub is "on the feature list" for Helldivers 3, says Arrowhead CEO 6 days ago:
Did you read the article?
You caught me, no, I should have read it before typing.
Still, thinking about the possibility of the next game is killing my already low motivation to grind. I’ve already unlocked all of the content you can buy from samples, but the super credits are just too painfully slow for me. I think the remedy would be some kind of currency exchange system that allows you to trade samples or slips for super credits and vice versa.
I’d say it’s fair to make a distinction between “pay-to-win” and “pay-to-enjoy”, but I’d argue that the distinction makes little difference because “pay-to-enjoy” is just as bad. I’d have absolutely zero complaints about any of this if the paid content was only cosmetic stuff.
All of your comment is pretty fair and valid. Things could definitely be worse. Maybe I should be more grateful for that? There is a FOMO aspect to their rotating shop, but the warbonds are always there which is “nice” of them.
The gameplay is really fun and a great experience.

It already takes a literal eternity to earn the super credits needed to unlock actual game content, not just cosmetics, without paying them real money.
If they’re already thinking about Helldivers 3, it completely kills my motivation to even try to unlock more Helldivers 2 content, unless we are somehow guaranteed that our unlocks and super credits will carry over.
I genuinely don’t understand why this game is in the good graces of the internet while infested with pay-to-win non-cosmetic microtransactions. The “social hub” will exist not to socialize but as a place to display your paid content to other players.

Yes… lol EA’s stated goal for the game is “100 million players”, which is more players than all games in the entire battlefield franchise has had cumulatively
So you can be sure this will be watered down garbage aimed at the lowest common denominator

They’re just supposed to give up the entire business model of the majority of consumer internet services???
Also just because the computations are encrypted does not mean you won’t be able to track database accesses and other signals to understand what information the request contained.

Hey that’s great that Arma III mods also are realistic! Love to see it. Star Wars Battlefront mods also came close to photorealistic at moments. I’m sure these community made-by-volunteers-in-their-free-time mods were SO expensive to develop that it spurred a handheld gaming conspiracy, right???
Those dastardly indie teenager devs!!! 🤪

Described as “the first photorealistic shooter” by reviewers, there is quite literally no other game that comes close, in terms of graphical realism.

The game Bodycam was developed by 2 people, a 17 and 20 year old, and has the most realistic graphics I’ve ever seen.

You’re not crazy, I don’t see a boot partition either. So, that makes sense that it cannot boot. I think the simplest path forward will be to try installing another distro, and disconnect all hard drives besides the one you want to install to, if there are multiple drives in the machine.

Hmm… this is weird. I would say try changing the boot mode between UEFI vs legacy BIOS, but I see that you already have…
If possible, can you boot to live Linux USB and use the fdisk/gparted tool to inspect the partitions? If you can post a pic/screenshot of the partition info that might give us some more info.
What steps did you take to manually parition? Is the boot partition formatted with an EXT4 file system?
- Comment on Help a 7-y.o. Kid Get His First Linux Gaming PC 10 months ago:
Are you able to try selecting the disk to boot from using the BIOS/UEFi menu, instead of relying on the boot order? I’d try that and see if one of the options boots into Pop!_OS, then make sure that option was first (or 2nd behind booting to USB)
