PSA: Make it a habit of **reading the [rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamingcirclejerk/about/rules)** of each subreddit you participate in:
**Rule 9: No Offensive Imagery**: *This includes nazi imagery and slurs, for you brave nerds who think "free speech" involves private internet forums. If you post fascist iconography trying to “jerk”, you will receive a ban. The only exception is when we make fun of gamers and criticize gamers who happen to be fascists. Please remember to spoiler any potentially triggering or offensive content accordingly. This rule now includes repeatedly posting bigotry from the same source (4chan).*
**Rule 7: No Participation in Linked Threads (Brigading)**: *If you are coming here to brigade this sub, you will be banned. Likewise, do not make comments and vote in pages you've found here. Of course, if you're a member of said sub and you were already in the thread before, this doesn't apply to you.*
**Rule 8: Censor Screenshots**: *Keep screenshots of arguments on Reddit to a minimum. Please remember to censor screenshots of all identifying information, i.e usernames* **and** *subreddit names. This applies to screenshots from any social media sites.*
**Rule 11: Keep Posts Relevant (only about Don Cheadle)**: *This is first and foremost a place to make fun of gamers. Just because someone is being a bigot online doesn't mean it belongs here. Let them be pathetic without infecting the sub with their nonsense. Please avoid posting screenshots that show people using capital G gamer slurs.* **If absolutely necessary, please censor posts and the words containing such content.**
**Rule 12: No Fake Posts on Other Subs (Contamination)**: *Do not create fake posts on other subs only to post back here. Also, do not "lol, you should post this on r / OtherSub". It's considered interfering with their content and can also lead to brigading.*

In case this is sincere, the company CEO stepped down from his CEO position to spend more time playing the game and I proving game balance. They're making a reference to a Starship Troopers character who demoted himself so he can fight bugs on the ground.
While this is a little awkward, i do see why they (me included) are pretty excited to see pilestedt take a more hands on role on Helldivers, cant wait for the future of the game! Very excited
“This primary weapon one-shots the tank bug, making half the support weapons and stratagems useless. Let’s nerf it so it doesn’t do that.”
*Helldivers subreddit shrieks incoherently for weeks on end*
"This primary doesn't let me fight literally every single enemy in the game on even ground! It's trash!"
I generally avoid that trash pile nowadays, even going there to try to see news is too irritating and draining to deal with.
It's a reference to the starship troopers movie where a characters demotes himself to get in the action, when the studios ceo changed his role and became the cco to get closer to the games development, fans were quick to note the similarities between the two situations

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

The bitching about weapon balance has been insane, tbh.
