There aren't really characters. That's part of the satire. All the Helldivers are nameless and faceless.

It's just one of many "stratagems" that you use in the game. Some are air/orbital attacks, while others are support weapons, resupply, special equipment, etc. When you call down a stratagem, you get a "stratagem ball" that you throw where you want the stratagem to land.

They're professional opinion-havers mad that they're getting a negative reaction to their bad opinions.

That's a total misread of my position based on a very narrow reading of the word "stunt". It is a stunt. It's also dangerous.
Matt Baur (@lowflier84.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes. They are not the same. That is a good thing. It's clear that you see them as equivalent.
Matt Baur (@lowflier84.bsky.social) reply parent
It is a stunt. Trained law enforcement doing law enforcement within an area where they have actual jurisdiction is not the same as a wannabe dictator sending troops into a place they have no business being.
Matt Baur (@lowflier84.bsky.social) reply parent
Try to keep up. OP implied that CHP, badged and trained law enforcement officers, doing law enforcement was as bad as the National Guard going into DC as a stunt.
Matt Baur (@lowflier84.bsky.social) reply parent
Does that list look like what the National Guard is doing?

Also, the fight in "Dark Knight" had a foundation in the characters differing views. BvS was essentially just two mooks goaded into a bar fight.

"If CBS had released all of this material last October, maybe the network wouldn’t be in this bind now." No, they would have just said that CBS was lying. None of this is about facts anymore. It's about getting a sound bite on TV that then gets repeated in print.
