Btw when salvaging modules, on the bottom right there is actually a "salvage all duplicates" prompt, which does all your dupes automatically for you, keeping 1 of each for each ammo type

I saw your face and instantly remembered you from Dauntless. Its been a long while, lovely to see you're making other games content now too! Much love OhDough

[@windsgrace688]

With a pan like that, I'd recommend just plain wooden or plastic utensils. Metal spatulas are good if you really want to scrape the fond off the pan after developing a deep browning but that's mostly for something like well-seasoned cast iron griddles or grills but you can also use them on seasoned cast iron woks as well (ideally not the slotted kind though). Wooden and plastic utensils are probably the safest bet for any pan though since they're made of relatively soft material and won't be likely to scatch up your pans.

[@Yuuki-SJ]

But Dough, the triangle also goes in the square hole

[@VictorWeismann]

i'm glad you play the game, I met you through Helldivers, and I signed up instantly when I saw that there's no bullshit with you, you say what you think, which is something rare nowadays. I look forward to new videos of this game. More tips and tricks, would be nice... when the server go online again, I'm go quickly upgrade my MP and HP, since I'm using bunny a lot, she is quite a glass cannon in bosses.

Best TFD vid out right now. To the point and very helpful. Keep up the great content.

[@Sparksman23]

I like the one is vespers more this is a great spot as well. As for the external components higher level isn't always better if the lower level item is rare(purple) or better with beneficial stats underneath the main stat. Always go back out to main inventory screen and check your stats( Hp, Def, Skill power) in the lower right to really see is something is better.

[@SkullcandyEdit]

The thing with the shield upgrade was pretty neat

[@OneTato]

Nice, good content and cooking lessons. 😊 been using syalacone stuff with steel, i got a pan similar to yours but I inherited mine so not positive on the brand. It's been nice. Metal utensil are reserved for the grill maybe cast-iron depending on what Im making or have burned 😅

[@N00BSYBORG]

I'm looking forward to trying this if they can sort the servers out. Gives me Warframe vibes but I could never get into Warframe no matter how much I tried.

[@nemesiz9322]

Same for me 😅

[@christianclark347]

13:17 Looks like a Made In saucier pan. I have several myself and they are great for more delicate things especially dairy-based sauces. I've found I can even step away for a few seconds without the sauce instantly burning like it would in all my other pans. Feels closest to my double-boiler but hotter obviously. Great stuff with excellent heat distribution and transfer. But, no, you should never use a metal spatula on the clad stuff as the layers are quite thin and, once you wear through the first which is usually a relatively soft aluminum, it ruins the pan. Use plastic, wood, or silicone-coated. But metal spatulas are just fine on cast iron pans. A lot of weirdos like to baby cast iron but it doesn't need it. If you have it properly seasoned, a metal spatula won't do much damage anyway, and even if you do burn something onto the pan and need to scrape it off, re-seasoning is only as hard as wiping some oil on the pan and throwing it in the oven at 400F for a bit. I hope you have as much fun learning to cook for yourself as an adult as I did! Good luck.

[@IRMentat]

a few addendums mod upgrade levels are limited by "mastery level" (account levels you gain xp from main missions and leveling up "proficiency" with weapons, so you tend to only be able to upgrade within your means most times. Either way as you said prioritise the melee-mod (more capacity) then: +HP (as HP can be replenished via ground-drops)~ shields (slow passive regen until it breaks then it needs a LONG to start rebuilding, bosses can 2-3 tap your shields but they keeps you at full HP until those big attacks start landing) auto-apply will be good-enough initially but like wireframe most "optimal builds" are pretty generic (tank, more power, better cooldowns and range/duration/efficiency per needs). after that i'd say ability damage plus cooldown/duration to get your movement/speed-skills close to or above 100% uptime. you have the kick-module levelled, first one i got was "shock-punch" they do the same thing (add mod capacity to your decendent), if you get the special power mod for a specific decendant leveling that up reduced that special mods cost (the ice-starter pokemon ended up with a 5-8 seconds ground-kill DoT from hers instead of just a single-hit ice-wave so they are often a bigger DPS/utility boost than most non-defensive mod options), downside is their drop rates SUCK. 99% of the time just farm up the mission descendants, push through the main quest and melt any gear you aren't actively using farming up something "usable" for any new characters you end up with is super easy as even the off-type mods will cover you until you target-farm the reactor they do like from a higher level quest, no point storing them as that just takes up your already limited bag space, same for weapons you can get a copy of anything blue/purple within minutes so just melt anything you aren't actively using (unless you somehow cap the "weapon proficiency" then just swap to another variant of that same weapon type until later. 1/2 of the weapons in-type are functionally identical to each other following one of 2 styles (slower strong hits or simply DAKKA). weapons you have VERY limited space so ocne past the auto-=-apply stage get some base damage in, add an element then boost the crit-stats and "weakpoint damage", most of the rest is pretty niche while those will cover you the games entire lifespan.

[@joshw3880]

Do the reactors and all the components under it cross over for all characters or just weapons? Also, started following you with hd2, glad you do this too 🍻

Glad to see you covering this game, you were one of the only good channels covering Helldivers 2 as someone who knows how to actually play the damn game. But with all the BS goin on with Helldivers 2, Sony screwing over 177 countries from playing on PC, Balance Team Nerfing any Fun out, Discord Mods Banning folks over not liking their Degen Furry Art or asking to keep identity Politics out of the game. It's just too damn much and I don't care anymore, I'll wait till they get their shit together. Until then I'll gladly watch your videos on any other game coming out. I mainly got interested in this game cause the Women actually look attractive instead of the Crimson Chin, and the gameplay reminds me of Warframe, which I haven't played in years.

I love how everyone and their mother reccommends leveling Bunny first. Yeah okay youre a crackhead levels of fast with very high offensive, but the structure of the objectives is just built for Ajax. If there is one Descendant that is infinitely valuable in any content, ever, its Ajax. His Hypercube with few HP/Shield slots and cooldown reductions can permanently lock down an objective you have to defend, or capture, or whatever. In Intercept bosses its the same thing. With maxxed out HP/Shield module, you will overlap Hypercubes left and right, so in theory, Ajax doesnt have to ever move, because whatever hes protecting, is impenetrable.
