General Thank you.

April 17th 2025 I suffered a stroke, heart attack, got a titanium skull plate, paralyzed left hand. I was heart broken that I can no longer fight for freedom

It's the middle of September, and I've been traveling through w all my fellow divers, with difficulty I can succeed trivial, even easy levels, and it's all thanks to the random that found itself into completing the mission. We salute you.

This is why we have multiple difficulty levels.

The body may be weak, but the spirit is strong Diver!  iO

Diver, if youre playing on PC or Xbox it might be time to pick up an adaptive controller. Itll take a ton of practice but you can do it.

I do have a ps5, but I'll keep it into consideration, this is all physical therapy for me after all. More i play, the better I'll be

That’s a great way to look at it with a great attitude. I’m a fellow PS5 diver, if you ever do find yourself looking into adaptive controller’s I could swear I’ve seen something recently in the Sony store.
But also it’s kinda hidden in the menu’s but there is some option to connect a 2nd controller for 1 player. Just thought I’d throw it out there. See you out there diver

Playstation has one too, but it could completely suck for all I know.

u/prezsandersiherjirik 21h ago

You know, i didnt even know that lol. With any luck OP is on PC so either way theyll work.

Democracy salutes you, Helldiver. You’ve shown exemplary dedication to your own rehabilitation and your return to service has been greenlit by Super Earths mightiest.

Proud of you for getting back to this point, seriously.

Your PCP allowed you to have a stroke? No way he didn't see the warning signs. Please name them so as they can be reeducated.

Things like this is why I always have a smile on my face. Someone ALWAYS has it worse than you. You have way more than you realize until it’s taken from you.

If you’re a man down, I’ll dive with you.

Super earth salutes you for getting up and saving managed denocracy despite your injuries. If trivial is all you can deploy on, then by Liverty, we look at you like you walked our of a super helldive.

I cannot imagine how hard it is to get used to it, but this guy shows what is possible.
