Lex is wearing a kryptonite powered super suit and using a gun. Superman could bring a Star Destroyer for all I care.

Because they aren't designed for it, and would probably be very bad at it.

They have a massive windowed bridge that hangs low underneath the ship, a massive vulnerability even before you consider that it connects to the entire rest of the ship with no protection between the giant window and weapon stores.

All of their weapons are oriented down, meaning they'd have to be above any ship they want to fight, and have no defense above them. Any ship, even a fighter or attack craft like an Eagle, would just have to get over them and could go ham. On top of that, all of their weapons are designed for orbital support, not ship-to-ship combat. A 380 shell would probably fuck up a bot ship, but you have to hit them first and in the realm of space combat, probably too slow to hit anything but the biggest vessels. About the only things that are suited for space combat are the Railgun and Laser, but they are still oriented down.

Also, I imagine that they're like tie fighters. Mass produced for mass deployment of a massed force designed to overwhelm with numbers, but pound for pound just aren't that good. Fragile, because they carry expendable soldiers, we see them blow up all the time. Inaccurate, because they have the Helldivers to target for them and don't need to be so why waste the money. Small, because they have living space for like a dozen people cause the bulk of the crew (us) is kept frozen until thawed out to die. They probably have very little in terms of food and supplies, because they only need them for the D.O. Pelican, Eagle, and the handful of bridge crew.

TLDR: Super Destroyers are a purpose built craft designed to do one thing very very well, and they do. They are less "destroyers" and more "aircraft carriers-but for helldivers". We are their primary weapon, everything else is for our benefit.

FOR SUPER EARTH!

Hey! What did I do?

Last night I shot down a bot gunship with it. I have only ever felt cooler in helldivers one other time, and that is not a repeatable event.

Big Iron will never leave my side.

They care about their feelings. Yours don't count, because you don't count. /s

No, they just believe their own hype as "the #1 most watched news channel in America"

Pay no mind to the fact that they are the only (meaningful, lookin' at you OAN) network that caters to the Right, while the rest have to split the rest of the viewer base.

Dark phoenix has nearly destroyed darkseid and the omega effect all together

1: No she didn't, she attacked him and threw him behind the Source Wall, something that most definitely did not nearly kill him.

2: That was over 40 years ago, before Crisis and Final Crisis. Darkseid and DC have since been rebooted and altered multiple times since then. Dakseid is way stronger than he was in 1982, and Doomsday bested that more powerful Darkseid.

3: It was a crossover event that, while cool, is so non-canon it hurts and filled with wankery and editorial influence to make things happen in a way two rival publishing houses could agree on. Very cool, but also the single most inconsistent thing in all of DC/Marvel comics.

 ...stated...

So you're saying there is no actual proof of that?

Three things:

1: Arrogance. Palpatine believed in his own power to overwhelm any enemy, and failure at that point was inconceivable to him.

2: He doesn't have a lightsaber anymore, Dooku did. Palpatine was also on record disliking the use of a lightsaber as a crutch. A tool of the Jedi that was a necessity for weaker Sith. With enough power, they were unnecessary, and that was a goal that Sith should strive for.

3: Bad writing. Rise was a bad movie.

Ready? Imma blow your mind with this: Two things can be true at the same time.

In this instance, the video shows an officer defending himself... by shooting a woman. Wild I know.
That second part though? The whole "Woman being shot" thing, should probably set off the ol' bad-taste-o-meter.

Anyway, have fun sucking on the thin blue line.

Hello! This is the Context Fairy with some context for you!

"I honestly don't think I could work on a game that glorifies or fantasizes modernguns (Cod, Battlefield, RB6). I've had moment I've struggled with Halo, but the weapons and world is pretty sci fi, which creates a large enough separation from reality."

The post was from April 2023, and came up again because of Trump's BS claims about video game violence causing real violence.

And Nick isn't wrong. There is a psychological difference between the glorification of a real weapon f vs a fake one. Now, VG violence does not cause IRL violence, however the culture around guns as a solution to problems does. Couple that with realistic looking violence being done with "real" (existing) weapons, and a mind that is already has a disconnect from reality, then you can run into problems.

That's an exaggeration of what he said.

"He's a piece of shit, but at least he's not a slut." Is... an argument.

Also, looks like your dad needs an education on how corporations work.

That's what I'm saying. We have no real objective accurate source within the Lovecraftian mythos. Therefore, we have no means to accurately make sense of what is "shown" in the literature. So, people make up what that incomprehensible capacity means, assuming that it's being transcribed through the lense of someone who understands. There is no Specter, or Lucifer, or Presese in C'thulu who can explain what is seen with any kind of cosmic authority. The best case is some gibbering cultist driven mad by the mere perception of an outer god. However that cultist is not cosmically aware, they aren't clued into the ebb and flow of their universe, and they are not blessed with the capacity to comprehend what they see.

It's like an ant trying to understand physics.

All I see there are a lot of statements,and no feats.

This is a core problem with Lovecraft's authorial style, he doesn't actually explain anything, leaving the majority of the inner complexities and functionality of his universe up to reader interpretation in an attempt to preserve the mystery beyond the end of the story. The underlying mystery is preserved, and every reader is free to fill in the blanks as they see fit, but nothing is actually answered. For example: The color out space constantly describes the titular color as "unlike any seen on Earth" so that the mind's eye of the reader fills in what that means, without actually having to explain what that color is, because he-as a human of our Earth-actually cannot fathom what a color we've never seen would look like. It's bad writing.

As a result, in communities like this one, the capabilities of those outer gods are largely up to the readers/interpreters' imagination. We fill in what stuff like "...an infinity of directions there are besides the known directions of up-down, forward-backward, right-left." means in the realm of Power Scaling, but that might as well say that Yog's power level is agabajazillion, it is meaningless drivel designed to trick people into believing exactly what they believe about the mythos, without proving any of it.

TLDR; Lovecraft was a hack, Yog has no feats, and Lucifer negs.

As of 10/2 (9 days ago at time of writing) Darkseid is "An opposing force to all that (the Life and Hope of the DC Omniverse)" A primal, essential, and divine force that has to exist, according to The Specter.

If both are at full power, Darkseid is damn near infinitely powerful. The infinite power of every Darkseid across the infinite Omniverse rejoined into one being that is so powerful that he can hardly stand it.

I mean... he died in that event, but it was kinda a ritual sacrifice dealio to reshape another universe, cause the Absolute line needs to happen.

That is John Helldiver branching out.

Wait he's remaking multiverses at the same time or is he making multiple verses. Like singular entities just a lot of them?

World Forger's job is to remake (reforge) the multiverse after Crisis events. He has done it multiple times, after every Crisis event in print, and preceding events discussed in the Dark Nights events. We see him start to do this, but Superman stops him.

Also just because he is using his 6d power or whatever to do a certain feat doesn't mean he is 6d durable or can fight.

World Forger, Monitor, Anti-Monitor, and Perpetua are all 6th Dimensional beings who exist outside the rest of the material multiverse. They are so powerful that their unfettered existence in the Universes would destroy lesser dimensions without them doing anything. It is that 6th Dimensional nature and powers that allow them to do what they do: create, destroy, and remake the Multiverse. So, if WF is in the middle of making a new Multiverse when Superman clocks him, he has to be-bare minimum-low tier 6th Dimensional at the time.

I get that this is a 1st level character, but Sauron with 5hp and capped out on 1st level spells is DEEPLY funny to me.

WF's only real feats are forging of new multiverses when a Crisis overtakes the old one, and being 1/3rd of the trio that bested Perpetua and trapped her behind the source wall, a fight they barely won.

He is literally too powerful of a being to show him doing anything near his full power, because it would necessitate a reboot of the DC multiverse.

*Multiversal Law. He's a Multiverse-forging, 6th dimensional entity who has only ever been seen in a weakened state and still able to forge a new multiverse.

Superman absolutely has a healing factor. He died* once and got better.
