Was it something I said?

BRONZE IN THE HALFPIPE!!! 🥉

What an incredible run from Zoe Atkin to bring home Britain's first ever halfpipe medal!!

This pipe final is a mix of nerves, chaos and energy. A medal for Gus Kenworthy is still the dream. But I'd settle for everyone landing a run!

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

Another day of Big Air nerves, so bloody close. What a final we've had though!

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

93, game on!

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

Big Air, here we go

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

It's times like this where I remember how much of a loss Sheffield Ski Village is. Happy memories of being under the floodlights at night.

CHARLOTTE BANKES AND HUW NIGHTINGALE YOU SUPERSTARS!!! 🥇

It’s a GOLD MEDAL in the mixed snowboard cross! 🔥

That said, dear BBC; there's other sports live! The qualifiers for the slopestyle are happening right now with two Brits involved, for example. I'm thrilled to see a gold. I've been waiting decades for it, I can wait a little longer to watch the celebrations.

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

Yesss! What a race

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

And in the interests of being fair we've now caught up - it seems like they're trying to time the delay so it overlaps the between runs time period.

I appreciate the attempt but I really would rather just have the live sport, even if we join in the middle of an event.

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

I normally defend the BBC over losing the Olympic rights to Eurosport, they can't do much about it. But this is poor; skating finished but rather than cut to slopestyle they continued to chat about skating. Save it for when the sport isn't live. We're now watching on a big delay!

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

And now we're on to Big Air nerves!

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

So close.

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

That time of the Olympics where the slopestyle is leaving me tense again!

Finally stealth kills without alerting an entire base are always satisfying in #Helldivers2

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

A yearly reminder that #Helldivers2 stealth works great.

You can complete missions without detection/firing a shot. I've been enjoying sneaking into Spore Lungs, as the caves require careful work.

The main barrier to true stealth is that timer forces a riskier pace of play.

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

Almost a year on, still doing the same stuff:

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

That same alert state effect is true of both suppressed and non-suppressed weapons in #Helldivers2 - the difference is that reduced noise detection radius means you're only likely to attract a small amount of enemies and not pull every patrol to your location.

@Pilestedt I don't know if you can fix this without undoing the 60-day patch though. There's a big disconnect between gun-first or strategem-first. It's two different groups pulling in opposing directions.

Personally I'm holding out for a HD2: Classic. Give me that and I can play endlessly

[Hamish Livingstone @Flufball_]

@Pilestedt The Pred Strain is the best example of what's going wrong. It addresses symptoms of difficulty but for entirely the wrong playstyle. They're essentially close-range glass cannons, a challenge for those who want to engage with their guns but leaving many strategems overkill.
