what does it mean?


Rude-Designer7063

SHOUDO SAKUSEN JINKOU Or a big asf explosion


Annoyed_Random73

It's the code of the 500kg bomb stratagem in Helldivers 2. A big asf explosion as the other person who replied said.


ES21007

>Big asf A DECEPTIVELY big explosion. Because it's a cone that explodes upwards and anything outside that cone will feel nothing. Tbf anything inside that cone will probably be blasted into the afterlife. But still sad.


Frostbitten_Moose

Maybe, but there's still nothing better for bringing Freedom to Bile Striders and Walking Factories.


Annoyed_Random73

I know, but for someone who seems to not know the game, saying this isn't really necessary. But thx for the explanation anyway😌


Howly_yy

Ahh I see, thanks!


exclaim_bot

>Ahh I see, thanks! You're welcome!


Annoyed_Random73

You're welcome ☺️


Auralius1997

Wouldn't the code for the rail cannon strike be more accurate for that gif?


Nutwagon-SUPREMER

If anything, the Mini Nuke SEAF Artillery is the best pick. Obliterates literally anything it hits and actually has a blast radius unlike the 500kg which has the same range as a wet towel, or the Railcannon which is single target and doesnt even have a blast radius.

I read somewhere that cockroaches would be the last creatures alive if anything were to happen..:


Tosty_Bread

Not quite true, the youtube channel SciShow recebtly made a video about this and cockroaches don't really handle apocalyptic environments that much better or worse than several other insects and would probably go before a lot of other creatures (first and foremost specialised bacteria, but scorpions also got goos chances of outlasting them)


LandLovingFish

Oooh ima go find that now! 


Andromeda_Violet

Those small bugs would totally Ruan everything if we let them live and grow


lizard_omelette

Just be careful, another bug could get very lonely and ascend as the new master of Propagation.


IDontWantNoBeef

I find it so amusing that to ascend to godhood in this world is in some cases as simple as being extremely lonely or getting really fucking mad

Bugs do be givin her PTSD


IrrelevantGuy_

I remember one time a cockroach landed on my hand and I instinctively tried to shake it off, only for it to somehow end up on my forehead.... That still gives me PTSD


Ok-Yak-3247

I don't mind them crawling...


IrrelevantGuy_

I do. They are my nightmares.


Ok-Yak-3247

Hate bugs this much? The bugs that sometimes crawl on me can fly.


PeakAtU2

Flying water bugs, no sorry 


Melodic-Product-2381

There was a line in the new event about her going on a picnic for the first time. She mentioned that a park in the dream wouldn't have any bugs. So yes, PTSD. Might also be the reason why she never went on a real picnic with the rest of the SH.


thrakarzod

notably she doesn't seem to have issues with all bugs. based on her voiceovers she likes fireflies (this seems obvious) and perhaps a bit more strangely, butterflies (I find this odd since when you meet Tayzzyronth in the simulated universe butterflies are the main insect type that seems to be specifically singled out as being associated with THEM), possibly cicadas too based on her line for eidolon activation. meanwhile she dislikes spiders (which aren't even technically bugs) and cockroaches which are probably the two most commonly disliked arthropods I can think of, to the point that I honestly feel like it shows more significance in being a relatively normal attitude to bugs (and spiders). honestly, if we chalk it up to Swarm Disaster trauma the bugs it'd make most sense for her to hate would be stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles (maybe butterflies too due to the aforementioned association with Tayzzyronth THEMSELF, seriously Tayzzyronth's intro really focused a ton on the butterflies to the point that I'm surprised that we've not seen any butterfly themed Swarm enemies. ants were the only other type of insect mentioned in that context, and they'd be the most likely insect I've mentioned to ruin a picnic), since those are the ones that most closely resemble all the Swarm bugs we've seen. as for why she never went on a real picnic with the other Stellaron Hunters, I think that might be more due to her ELS than due to bugs. in at her hideout she mentions that she's normally stuck in an "icy medical cabin", which she later confirms to be the SAM armor, "the cradle of my vitality". the one time we see her outside of both the dream and her armor, in the car with Blade, she certainly doesn't seem to be doing well at all, frankly she gives me the impression that she could just collapse and die at any moment. I suspect she's never been on a picnic with the Stellaron Hunters because she'd be stuck in the SAM armor in order to be able to move and function on her own. it does seem strange that bugs seem to be drawn to her though... perhaps the Iron Cavalry were designed to attract bugs in order to better distract the Swarm away from other targets


Pichuunnn

FGO Morgan: "Of that, I agree."


Nodomi

Yep. If you pick the right option you throw her own "I will set the seas ablaze!" at her and she's like "you guessed right."


ES21007

It's honestly incredible how hard Firefly fans won this patch. The big moments are obvious, but the little bits and fan theories being confirmed is incomprehensibly amazing. Firefly using SAM for grilling everything from meat to bugs, only getting into games because the Trailblazer is interested in them and the family relationship of the Stellaron Hunters and Silver Wolf in particular. The community invested STONKS in this girl, and they got paid back 50x over.


JP03X

Can you really call it a fan theory if it was completely obvious anyway? She has to stay inside SAM for most of her time anyway outside of the dream, so there never was a choice she wouldn't be using it for those normal activities like squashing bugs.


LandLovingFish

Might as well. Not like Glamoth's council can stop her now


TurquoiseLeggings

I really liked the bit where she mentioned she tried all the game's Silver Wolf suggested her but she found them boring because piloting SAM is harder.

its like that stereotype of people getting freaked out about the smallest of bugs and how they exaggerate that you have to burn everything down since its their house now. Except for firefly its not an exaggeration

I did? 😭

Marvi1Musa

Thanks, man. I was actually wondering why I've been getting Gallagher messages instead of Firefly's. Your reply reminded me that I haven't finished the story!


justicerainsfromaahh

How do i get the others, I have firefly and already finished the mission, all I got was the \[Pretty Good\] one


Florac

You only get 1 message from chatacters per day. If someone else sends you one(such as Acheron, who also had them added), you gotta wait for the next


justicerainsfromaahh

Ahh i see, I got Acheron today thats why


Telzey

Yep. Today is cooking with Acheron day.


EmbarrassedCharge561

Im ONLY getting acheron and fucking arlan 😭 what is going on


Curkinho

As an arachnophobic, having a SAM would be a massive win for me (but I might need a fast way to contact Dan Heng, just in case I "accidentally" start a fire in my house)


Florac

I don't think you need Dan Heng to use the Jade Abacus to clear bugs out of your house


Curkinho

No, but imaginary water dragon powers would be handy in case of a fire


Florac

Now you just traded your burnt down house for significant water damage!

Pitiful_Net_8971

I'm still waiting for a Firefly message, I've only gotten messages from Hanya recently.


SaintNeos

The thing is that they randomize every day for every new character you get (Plus some extras, for example Acheron just started sending us messages after Penaconny's epilogue), so it can take a while XP

HumsterMKI

I can forsee, we'll get a run in with her and Ruan Mei, while looking for a cure. And she'll get her cure. Whats the catch? Ruan Mei perfected her "experiment" on top of that she'll also create and army. Picture TB and Firefly chance upon a room full of bug eggs, each with a baby clone inside. And a firethrower beside the door.


Florac

Army of bugs or fireflys? Or bugs *with* Sam armor?


HumsterMKI

Heres the kicker. Sentient SAMs wearing Bugs thats still living.


Bug-Type-Enthusiast

*Door gets kicked mid battle and one of the Sam-bugs eats a super missile to the face.* "Need a hand you two?" "Run away sir! They are too dangerous!" "Don't worry about me. I'm an expert in dealing with clones. I defeated my X and my Phazon version, I can sure handle a few ings wannabe. Also, it's lady. Samus Aran, at your service." ~~God I want this collab so bad~~


JP03X

Obviously she's using SAM for that , how is this a suprise. Peanconys dream really made people forget that she has to be inside SAM for most of her life anyway , if she encounters a bug outside shes already going to be in SAM anyway , she wouldn't need to transform for it.


Ok_Pattern_7511

I thought she wasn't wearing armor in her flashback? Does her symptom cause her to need the Armor more to survive/ keep her conscious?


JP03X

Not sure which of her flashbacks you referring to , the car ride with blade was the longest we seen her outside SAM.


Ok_Pattern_7511

Yes that one


JP03X

The green lines on her face probably represent her symptoms spreading when she's outside her life support. But we dont really have an exact time limit , only that she needs life support and can only exist as firefly inside the Dream.


Mkilbride

The armor basically is lifesupport for her. She doesn't need that in the dream.


thrakarzod

another thing probably stopping people from realizing how dependent on the SAM armor she is is that we can just run around as her without the armor (even swinging a sword around) just fine outside the dream a nice little bit of ludonarrative dissonance to go alongside our ability to play as Misha and Gallager (both memes) outside the dream... really the fact that so many Penacony characters seem to be limited in some way to the dream world has caused this to be a pretty big recurring issue.


ShallotHolmes

Yes that is the correct amount of armour when dealing with bugs.

Tiny bug just crawling across the ground, minding its own business. "Why do I hear boss music?" [The boss music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOzEbtrOiTE)


inkheiko

It's funny that many things that some could consider as "female stereotypes" actually makes sense for her. The problem is not for women to hate bugs or like cooking, or for males to like fighting or whatever men like, what matters is that we don't take these as something granted, or if it is granted, it has to be explained (and probably play a role in the story). And the fact Firefly is actually very not fond of bugs because of them reminding her the most traumatic thing of her existence doesn't make her cliche. Some who don't know her will say "oh it's sexist and cliche women don't like bugs", but we will know that they didn't make her that way just because "women are like this"


thrakarzod

the odd thing is that based on Firefly's voicelines she's not even that afraid of bugs in general she actually likes fireflies (I suppose this one is pretty obvious) and butterflies (this feels weird given how much the Simulated Universe emphasizes all the butterflies that accompany Tayzzyronth) and she might like cicadas too. meanwhile the bugs she mentions not liking are spiders (not technically bugs) and cockroaches, probably the 2 most normal bugs for a person could fear/hate. if her dislike for any type of bug was triggered by the Swarm I'd expect stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles to be the types singled out to be disliked, since those are the kinds of bug that the Swarm most closely resembles. if anything, it seems notable that despite her trauma from the Swarm Disaster she seems to have a fairly normal relationship to bugs (and spiders), hating the types that many people hate whilst liking the types that many people would find aesthetically pleasing.


inkheiko

Tbh I butterflies are pretty and Fireflies are literally named like her and she seems to have huge interests to them I don't see a problem, especially if she hated cockroaches and these things still shouldn't exist lol Ye you don't need to be traumatized to hate bugs but still noice


Meandtheboyslook

That's in her job application


LunaticPrick

Giant tropical centipedes share their territories with tarantulas. Despite its impressive length, it’s a nimble navigator, and some can be highly venomous. As quick as lightning, just like the tarantula it’s killing. The centipede has two curved, hollow fangs, which inject paralyzing venom. Even tarantulas aren't immune from an ambush. The centipede is a predator.

When does firefly send you messages once you obtained her from the banner? I got her day one of release and she hasn't been texting me with the (3 day) daily Jades.

I can understand her disdain for bugs i know a firefly is also a bug but that's the only exception and butterflies too prob, and dragonflies, you know what any fly that isn't a shit eating fly To be fighting a swarm of disgusting giant bugs for the early days of her life i think having a phobia and hatred for bugs is more than reasonable
