I own a galactic Void for home defense

I own a galactic Void for home defense, since that's what the Ancient Squ'ith intended. Four Helldivers drop onto my planet. I shouted, "ᏇᏂᏗᏖ ᏖᏂᏋ ᏖᏋᏁᏖᏗፈᏝᏋ?" I grab my Voteless horde and plasma staff, and blow a stratagem sized hole through the first diver, he's dead on the spot. Draw my crescent cannon on the second diver, miss him entirely and nail the neighboring SEAF squad. I have to resort to the singularity mounted in the Celeste sector loaded with dark fluid. "ᏰᎥᏝᏝᎥᎧᏁᏕ." The gravitational anomaly shreds three planets in the path, the cognitive disruption drives one diver to insanity. Point staff and charge the last terrified fascist. He bleeds out waiting for the Cultists to be added to the game because he was ragdolled over and over by my melee attack. Ah yes, Just as the Ancient Squ'ith intended.

Caught a green frog with an interesting pattern

Southern Michigan. Anyone know what this coloration is? Or is it a different species?

I don't know if it was intentional, but I like how when the improved Spore Burst strain was introduced, we were made to fight them on a planet with no weather conditions or limited visibility. With the surprise of their new speed and upgraded Titan, being able to experiment new strategies to counter them was streamlined by the simplicity of the planets we had to face them on. After a week of being able to learn to fight them without planet modifiers in the way, they introduce a step up in difficulty by moving on to a new biome with a stamina penalty, something that synergizes with their speed boost to make them even harder. But in exchange for this step up in difficulty, we only have to face them like this without operation modifiers because they're all defense campaigns instead of liberation campaigns. It feels like the devs are giving players a lot of time to adapt to this new threat in controlled environments and I really appreciate that.

The largest Helldivers update showcase channel, Muaxh03, is using their platform to showcase bugs as if they're intended features, trying to make it out to be that Arrowhead is intentionally ruining game mechanics for "realism". This is so irresponsible, especially during the current meltdown against the developers the community is having. There are real criticisms to be made. Pretending an obviously bugged (every other shield allows lasers to pass from inside still) interaction between a barely-used secondary and a barely-used backpack is evidence Arrowhead is designing the game in this direction on purpose is not one of them. It's just trying to rile up the already heated playerbase to get even angrier. It's not right to do, no matter where you stand.

Edit: It's a video, the screenshot I posted does not showcase the bug. The bug is real, the fact that it's a feature is not.

Edit 2: It's obviously sarcasm, I know. The problem is, from the perspective of someone who's unaware Helldivers news coming to a channel that specializes in showcasing new features, the sarcasm looks like it's complaining about a real feature added for "realism". To us, it's obvious it's a bug so we easily read it as joking that a bug is a feature, but people without that perspective only see the first layer of the sarcasm. That is the issue. Their primary audience is the people who would interpret the joke wrong, and that's an irresponsible use of their platform.

Edit 3: My post got shared on r/HelldiversUnfiltered. A lot of people not reading the post text and assuming I'm denying the bug exists. Sudden influx of downvotes and comments insulting me. Never in my life have I seen a community divide into such vicious political parties, or rather one political party that calls everyone else a "glazer" at a glance. So strange.
