Look, just listen to me, you need to hear this, man. I was there. When the battles raged over Malevelon Creek and Mort and the Helldivers 2 community tasted both sweet, sweet victory and agonising defeat all in the span of one 24 hour period.
Yeah, it was just after everyone in the trenches had been really mad at some farmers they thought might be harming the war effort and just before we got all of our missing money back. We knew we had to keep on pushing through the galaxy, liberating it in the name of Super Earth, trying to put an end to this blasted Galactic War, man.
I was there man, when Malevelon Creek - that planet that’s covered in jungles and crawling with automatons, we call it ‘Robot Vietnam’ - when it fell, man, after hours of struggle. I was there, watching clips of the exact moment when all hope was lost on the Helldivers 2 subreddit, watching the tweets and memes roll in from the devastated soldiers who were just trying to hold on in that hellhole.
