argh mateys I can finally say words like shit and fuck

Helldivers 2 dares to challenge its players:

🅰️: rescue a Hospital Full of Very Sick Children (i should be clear there seems to be no unlock associated with this specific option)

OR

🅱️unlock the anti-tank mines

It's also quite funny that, for the most part, the Helldivers 2 community (or what's left of it after Sony voluntarily cut off huge swathes of it because some suit decided PC releases must be a PSN account funnel and that it isn't proper to sell them in places PSN doesn't serve) is opting to save the fictional children, in part because it has already failed to earn the Anti-Tank mines twice. Given two other opportunities to pick the mines, Helldivers 2 players have deferred both times. Not even the choice of "materially, nothing," is enough to make them pick the mines*

*At least, that's the sentiment for now. Since players can't actually attack either of the two planets involved in the choice until they've conquered a planet lying along the path to form a branching supply line, the proverbial rubber will hit the road when that planet is cleared and players actually start targeting one or the other.

got the soul of a pred animal but the amygdala of a prey animal. i have it the hardest anyone's ever had it btw
