Codex 017: Helldivers

Podcast Aug 29, 2024

After taking a recording break last week to play Helldivers, we decided that we have been talking on the side about Helldivers a lot lately, so it was time to pop the cork and chat about Managed Democracy and what makes Super Earth so super.

It's also a big discussion about making a what happens when the thing you make is loved for a reason you may not have intended and a final chat about how video games are hard. Making them, testing them, and even sometimes enjoying them. So yeah, come for the discussion about Managed Democracy and Liber-Tea, and stay for the breakdown of mechanics the Ministry of Truth doesn't want you to know.

Discussed
Velcro wallets, 3D printing, L-brackets, Super Earth, Managed Democracy, 1984, Cyborgs, Starship Troopers, Not getting the joke, Zendesk, Patch notes, Shooting the glowy butt, Game balance (is hard), Chargers, An airing of grievances.
