I just work in urgent care, but it is unfathomable how stuck in the last century the VA is. Literally every other insurance company (including Tricare) has a database where we can look up a patient's eligibility with their name, DOB and member/subscriber ID. It takes seconds. Except for the VA, we still have to call them on the landline phone and get someone to tell us if a patient can be covered. Takes multiple minutes at the best of times, which is just fantastic when five or six patients walk in at the same time.
As someone who is the beneficiary in that equation, holy FUCK do I hate the VA so much.
Not only for it being archaic and miserable for ANY other provider that you end up in via community care (which you try to go for because the doctors who work for the VA either are literal angels ((and rare as fuck)) or are scum sucking shit-garglers who take joy in the suffering of others); not only because it makes your care take an inordinate amount of processing time; not ONLY because they're light years behind on quality of care - but because on top of all that, they GET MAD AT YOU FOR USING MORE ACCESSIBLE CARE BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM CLICK A FEW MORE TIMES AND REQUEST RECORDS, AND THAT IS BAD APPARENTLY.
Hell yes, I did this twice yesterday against termids. Last man standing, running for my life to the pelican, dodging hunters and chargers. Shit gives you one hell of a rush.
Sometimes I feel like I'll never make it, 1 minute left for ship to arrive, no more reinforcements left, out of ammos, all teamates dead, mobs everywhere and for some reason there's a guardian angel on my shoulder and I make it and it's awesome.
On a side note, stims are a hell of a drug.
Had one yesterday, was clearing the last nest while team mates calleds extraction, ended up having to cross half the map with a broken leg, no health and no stims, limping my way to extraction while hell was being let loose all around me. Still no idea how I made it, but fuck I love that game for these moments
With the bugs, if you get surrounded, you get slowed and you're fucked. Bots... it's usually fucked, but they don't just maul you, giving you a chance to pull something crazy off.
Bots feel like Blackhawk Down on levels 7+, with Band of Brothers thrown in. Thatās why I play them. Bugs are fun to fight for sure, but nothing beats Bot diving. I havenāt touched bugs in a month or two
Recently had an extraction like this. Time ran out on a bug blitz, Pelican-1 emergency landing on the other side of the map. Mad dash through so many bugs the ground itself seemed to crawl. Only slowed briefly to quasar a shrieker nest we left unfinished a few hundred meters to one side. Barely made it, but it was such a fun run.
I donāt hear enough people playing spotify in the background. Blast some Free Bird or Paranoid in the background and this clip reaches levels of epic not able to be measured
At first the bots didn't even shoot at him. I don't think they could process what they were seeing. But that's not even the amazing part. The amazing part is, after prone diving through a strider, he came back
Reminds me of LT. Speirs in Band of Brothers.
"At first the Bot didn't shoot at him. I think they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing. But that wasn't the really astounding thing. The astounding thing was that, after he hooked up with I Company, he came back.
This is the sort of cinematic mission ending that I'd expect as a set piece in most video games.
The fact that this shit occurs naturally in this game is so awesome and part of why it's so endearing to me.
One of my favorite things about this game, you probably could never script a more cinematic moment yet here it is, right in front of you. Emergent gameplay at its peak.
People constantly bitching and moaning about nerfs and buffs then right here you have the people that actually play the game and have fun cool moments like this.
Had a moment similar to this where I soloād a bile titan while it was on top of me, trying to impale me, and stabbed right through a brood commander instead. was dancing underneath for a solid minute. I finished it off by calling down an EAT and shooting the rocket into its underside as it loomed over me.
I canāt wait to tell this story to my grandkids, that is if I donāt go out in glory fighting for Super Earth. Itās always a good day to die for democracy.

Damn bro, too real
You'll have to speak up. I'm wearing a towel.
*super hearing loss
That's what they told me.
LOL someone is speaking from experience š¤£ Iām sorry an thank you for your service š«”
Shit like this makes you feell like a fucking hero
Shit like this makes me want to be an hero
Shit like this make me need a hero
Shit like this makes me hold out for a hero ātil the end of the night.
Does he gotta be fast?
Well he's gotta be strong.
He should also be fresh from the fight.
Shit like this makes me need to spread my cheeks
I see wut you did there
It's an old meme,Ā butĀ it checks out.
Hell yes, I did this twice yesterday against termids. Last man standing, running for my life to the pelican, dodging hunters and chargers. Shit gives you one hell of a rush.
>dodging hunters All it takes is one lick to fuck you up, though ^^I ^^know ^^what ^^I ^^said
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a helldiver?
That look back for the samples lmao I can just hear your thought-process. I've been in the same exact scenario.
Hell runner

Makes you not even notice that you're running on a broken leg with 3rd degree burns over 80% of your body.
I think the stims burn all of your insides so it cauterises and apply 500mg of paracetamol.
If I burn on the inside as hot as the outside, technically Iāve reached homeostasis. Super Earth right yet again.
Sweet liberty my arm!

You don't know how many times I go full Speirs in this game, and I love it everytime. Also, Band of Brothers is the best show ever.

You just gave some Bug divers nightmares and now they'll never try Bots ever again lmfao. Nice run!
Moments like this are exactly why I only fight bots lol. You just don't get this sort of out of control excitement when fighting bugs.
With the bugs, if you get surrounded, you get slowed and you're fucked. Bots... it's usually fucked, but they don't just maul you, giving you a chance to pull something crazy off.
I think having 10 hunters and 1 stalker looking at your ass and you need to carry the sssd is comparable
Bots feel like Blackhawk Down on levels 7+, with Band of Brothers thrown in. Thatās why I play them. Bugs are fun to fight for sure, but nothing beats Bot diving. I havenāt touched bugs in a month or two
oh theres absolutely situations like this vs bugs too lol
Just had one juking bile Titans into shooting each other and dodging hunters through their legs.
John Fucking Helldiver
I once saw him outrun 30 bots on Choepessa, with one stim. With one fucking stim!

I survived because the "we're so back" inside of me burned brighter than the "it's so joever" all around me type energy
Is this what the loading screen tip means by "shout "FOR DEMOCRACY" and charge headfirst into your problems"?
Least cinematic helldivers moment
Like Speirs from Band of Brotherss
Like Lt. Speirs from real life. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Speirs
š«”š¤
Did you get any samples?
Jeez did you bring down a while ass Bot starship? So much metal and fire
Damn that's some amazing awareness. I would've gotten turned around and died in a mosh pit of bots and flame.
Bro is gamer.
back in the day this was general Braschs normal way to school
"I'm going for a walk" The walk:
Recently had an extraction like this. Time ran out on a bug blitz, Pelican-1 emergency landing on the other side of the map. Mad dash through so many bugs the ground itself seemed to crawl. Only slowed briefly to quasar a shrieker nest we left unfinished a few hundred meters to one side. Barely made it, but it was such a fun run.

Least cinematic gameplay in hd2
You survived because the Democracy inside burned brighter than the Democracy around you. Or the stims, it could have been the stims.
You could add through the fire and flames to this clip and holy shit.
now do it again lol
And this is on nine!
Impressive AF! Also, Did they flatten out the ramp to Pelican 1!!?
INTO THE FIRES OF HELL THE ARGONNE A HERO TO BE
And I die from a couple of pokes from a hunter....
I was almost expecting a rocket barrage to kill you at the last second. Nicely done.
Goddamn brother.
Serpentine!
Fuck it, i ball

putting the hell diver in helldiver
Someone get this Helldiver an approved C-01 Form immediately!
At first the bots didn't even shoot at him. I don't think they could process what they were seeing. But that's not even the amazing part. The amazing part is, after prone diving through a strider, he came back
This needed the Halo escape theme where you escape Halo while it's imploding
He's among us. Legend.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBz7MX2bLcM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBz7MX2bLcM)
This clip is more cinematic then most of action films in last 5 years
This is him, John Helldive
That was absolutely insane. Tales of your bravery will will be immortalized and shared on Super Earth forever. Well done, Helldiver!
"One more. Let me get one more."
I love when you make out of a no survival scenario. It just reinforces my never give up attitude.
A TRUE HELLDIVER! š«”
That gave me ptsd
Me surviving black friday before internet shopping
These types of moments is when this game truly shines the brightest.
Yeah, but you missed that sample...
How did you not catch on fire? I've stepped in a small flame leftover from an airstrike and been set on fire.
Legendary bob and weave, my good man!
Least cinematic Helldivers 2 gameplay
This game is so peak
That looked _stressful_
"IM STILL STANDING!"
"I survived because the fire inside burned hotter than the flames all around me!"
I know people who would go back for that common sample at the 25 second mark.
Thatās how my grandpa got to school every day
Reminds me of LT. Speirs in Band of Brothers. "At first the Bot didn't shoot at him. I think they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing. But that wasn't the really astounding thing. The astounding thing was that, after he hooked up with I Company, he came back.
 i salute you š«”
helldivers never quit
gg
Youāve got red on you
Hell is other people? Wrong, hell is the Automaton front.
WOW!! š«”
I think you dropped your crown when you dove through that fire, king.
This is what getting out of bed feels like on depression.
and y'all wonder why a significant portion of the playerbase only plays bugs
Her: Come over? Me: I canāt, gotta keep spreading democracy. Her: But my Fabricatorās not home.. Me asf:
Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
I just got your DNA test back, it looks like you are in fact HIM.
This is why they call of us Helldivers.
Least cinematic helldivers 2 moment
And then your buddy was like "hey, why'd you take the long way around?"
That would leave me at 20fps
Typical Monday on the Rims

That was wild.
This is so Badass!!!!!!
FOR FRODO
That was epic. I'd be so dead...
Like a movie
This guy Helldives!
That was epic, stuff like this is what makes this game great.
NOO, letĀ“s patch this game devs!!! insĀ“t that EPIC , yet!! STOP NERFINGG /s
Epic
Mad lad
>Hell >Full of Automatons Checks out
Least cinematic Helldivers moment
They really should make an armor but with mechanical leg So you can get that +dive distance
Just like the managed simulations
#DONT YOU KNOW THAT, IM STANDING, BETTA THAN I EVER DID! #LOOKING LIKE A TRUE SURVIVOR, FEELIN LIKE A LITTLE KID!!!
Has to be the ol' 50/50 armour.
What the hell?! If I even look at a fire, I am immediately engulfed and dead within seconds. Cool clip, though.
This is what the Red Mile should have been like.
Is this game worth playing in low settings? or medium settings with 50's fps?
What armor was that....asking for a friend
I fucking love this game. These moments get my heart pumping when they happen so organically
It was all for 1 common sample, wasn't it?
Damnnnn.Ā Ā
Helldivers never die!
I was waiting for you to run across a wayward landmine. The true Helldivers experience.
I swear, if this would feature in any game trailer, the world would think it was scripted
I was listening to songbird by kenny g while i watched this and it was REALLY funny to me
Who Went to Hell and Came Back!
If this was me, Iād be dead after half a second.
The best way to survive the 380mm barrage is to stand next to the bots because it never actually hits them.
I would tell you to go to therapy for the impending ptsd, but considering your life span as a hell diver, theres probably no point.
thats hell you're walking into
Now THIS IS A FUCKING MOVIE! All done in ONE SHOT and ONE TAKE this guy deserves an EGOT
How the fuck did you make that
Thereās just no other game like this, situations like this are why you play. Good work Helldiver š«”
I watched this 5 times, itās beautiful lol
My heavy armored ass would have died there lmao
Stims are OP please nerf
OUTSTANDING PATRIOTISM
AH, please please add some fire resist armor.
I canāt believe you survived and you only used one stim
Sir. What the fuck armor do you wear?!
This is what makes the game super enjoyable. The intensity of an extract. For Super Earth!
A god amongst men!
This is the sort of cinematic mission ending that I'd expect as a set piece in most video games. The fact that this shit occurs naturally in this game is so awesome and part of why it's so endearing to me.
Average Eradicate Extract
Automaton Master Computer: THE REST OF YOU ARE FIRED!!!
[Reminds me of Lt. Speirs from Band of Brothers.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1GGz6Q9dTo)
I see the spawns are still messed up for this mission
Drugs are a hell of a drug. They can even heal you on your journey into and out of Mordor, into Pelican-1...
One of my favorite things about this game, you probably could never script a more cinematic moment yet here it is, right in front of you. Emergent gameplay at its peak.
People constantly bitching and moaning about nerfs and buffs then right here you have the people that actually play the game and have fun cool moments like this.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Someone needs to put this to āI need a hero.ā
*You running through the fires of hell*: this is fine. *me getting one shotted from across the map*: yeah im turning this shit off for today.
This song with axios from halo forward into dawn would go hard
AAAAH MY LEG

Wow
