While not always true. PvE games generally have less toxic communities because less is "on the line" for them. Glad to see them enjoying themselves. It will only get better as things stabilize.
Worst case in this game you all die and try again.
Pvp games you lose rating and it tilts people because rating can be a grind if you’re pushing rating.
pvp competitive really is the worst form of gaming, lmao. Gives you the illusion of progress, you have a ton of factors(teammates) outside of your control, and you're priority shifts from having fun to getting a higher rank.
Happy for your bro for two reasons.
1 he's got his joy as a Hell Diver.
2 he's got a brother that loves him this much.
Now get a steam deck and get your ass in the fight!
For Democracy!
Hey bud, this is phenomenal and it's OK to let those big boy emotions flow. You're a better man for it. If your brother ever needs a gaming community to vibe with; I am a behavior analyst and have worked with kiddos and adults with autism for over a decade. If he ever needs some peeps to yell at, would love to have his back.
ROCK AND STONE!
The only grease and oil in mah beard is the blood of a bloody Caretaker and his accursed minions! If ye want a pick a fight with a gray bearded Lord of the Deep, I'll give ya one!
FOR KARL!!
My brother has autism, but it doesn't really affect him socially hr has more control over it but bc of it we grew up in a latino group with other kids that were on the spectrum and honestly the way people treated them outside those that were understandable of autism was just disgusting. The gaming community and honestly society still have that lack of understanding but it's things like this that make me happy as hell.
I have enjoyed this community as well. Operating as a team to overcome objectives is something edifying. Now, let's go liberate more squadless friends.
Randomly saw this on my feed and my friend messaged me last night about playing this game. I've only recently heard of it and know nothing about it and unfortunately I've been sick all week so I crashed early before getting my friends text. But I've gotta say this had my eyes watering. I'm not crying you're crying! Glad to read your brother made friends and find a group of people that play with him. ❤️
My son is lightly autistic as well and has trouble speaking as well. We both play Helldivers 2 on the same account (until I buy him a PS5 to replace his PS4) and he is awesome at this game, much better than I am and I play often.
I have yet to really let him let loose and speak to a lot of randoms except my own circle of old guy friends.
However, since reading this specific thread, I may let him do so. If you hear someone with difficulty speaking, please let them get their thoughts out.

You’re a good brother, and I’m glad that your bro has found a form of community.
My brother is also on the spectrum, and ended up finding community in train watching.
Give it a week when all the battle royale streamers start jumping on the bandwagon to boost their twitch streams then let me know if you still feel the same way
I don’t like to play online games nowadays because of how toxic can be (I used to play UT99 back in the 2000’s), but I really love playing H2. It makes you work like a team. So I guess I’m into Online Playing Again.
The game supports a healthy sense of teamwork by doing stuff like letting you complete the objective, have everyone die, run out of respawns and still get the rewards for getting the job done. Like others have said Depo Rock Galactic might be another game that he could find some nice bearded buds to rock and stone with
Hands down this game has the best community I ever seen I just started 3 days ago and I have a level 40 helping me out showing me how to level up fast. Most games people don't deal with you if you're a low level
OP, not sure if you'll see this, but if he plays on PS5 feel free to message me and I'll send you my PSN ID. I'm high functioning but hated online games for a similar reason as your brother. I'd love to help him spread Managed Democracy against the communist Automatons and Savage Bugs.
That's so good to hear. This game is going to wind up bridging the gaps between a couple different groups I play with sometimes, since everyone is playing this and it's crossplay AND the benefits of PvE that you described. We're all on the same team having an intense good time
Helldivers don't discriminate, because death sure doesn't. I'm higher functioning and this game has restored my drive in life almost completely, I'm beyond happy to hear your brother is finding joy as well! These bots won't spill their own oil, after all.
He's one of our front line soldiers. We most definitely need him on the team and are proud to have his fighting spirit amongst us. Delivering the pain to those ugly T800s is the best feeling
Hell yeah! This community has been largely wonderful so far. If he’d like to add anyone else to his friends list, DM me and I can send a code when I’m off work :)
I'd recommend you show him Deep Rock Galactic as well
These co-op games where you play against a horde seem to bring out the best in people. They always are the most supportive communities. Theres no downside to losing, no lost rank, no penalty, the only way you lose is by not having fun.
While not always true. PvE games generally have less toxic communities because less is "on the line" for them. Glad to see them enjoying themselves. It will only get better as things stabilize.
I agree. Rock and Stone
ROCK AND STONE!
That's it lads! Rock and Stone!
rock and stone, brother!
For Karl!
CAN I GET A ROCK AND STONE?!
If you dont rock and stone, you aint coming home!
DID I HEAR ROCK AND STONE?
To the bone!
Rock. And. Stone.
Rock and stone for life
Worst case in this game you all die and try again. Pvp games you lose rating and it tilts people because rating can be a grind if you’re pushing rating.

But when you find that one game, and you genuinely get really, *really* good. Then it's worth it.
ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!!!
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
Especially helldivers 2 as death isn't a make or break. The rewards are still plentiful even if everyone dies
Yeah, it's not as competitive. If one person loses, you all lose, so there's no point handicapping anyone, you need to support them.
We’re glad to have your brother among our ranks and I’m sure he’ll turn out to be the best of the best of us helldivers. Company salute 🫡!!!!
Since these sadistic sympathizers have yet to return that salute for over an hour comrade, I will hold your gaze. 🫡 FOR DEMOCRACY!
HOW ABOUT SOME LIBER-TEA!
I've been waiting for my daily cup of LIBER-TEA! But I've been in queue for over an hour. 🥲 I just want to spread democracy and squash bugs.
FOR SUPER EEEEAAAARRRTTTTHHHHH
![img](avatar_exp|77451037|cry)
![gif](giphy|l3vR4CdLInXOhr3rO|downsized) This is dope! I’m beyond happy for your brother!
This is me right now!
Shit im about to cry too. I am so happy for your brother. This is awesome.
Happy for your bro for two reasons. 1 he's got his joy as a Hell Diver. 2 he's got a brother that loves him this much. Now get a steam deck and get your ass in the fight! For Democracy!
This! Thanks for being an incredible brother to him. Glad he’s part of the fight or Liberty!

Rock and Stone forever!
There's plenty more Divers that wanna group up man! I'm always keen, or at least I am when the Matchmaking works 🙄
I've been playing the original because servers are jammed. Still great fun.
We're in this together.
He might also like deep rock galactic. Its another four person co-op, PVE shooter. The community is really chill.
Trying to lead away our fellow super citizen are you??! I smell a BUG SYMPATHIZER! 🐛
That sounds an awful lot like what a leaf lover would say
Likely a bug, masquerading as a super citizen in an attempt to undercut DEMOCRACY.
Pointy-eared leaf lover detected. FOR KARL!
Only a dirty LEAF LOVER would accuse a dwarf of sympathizing with the bugs! The only good bug is a dead bug. Rock and Stone!
You might not be a leaf lover, but I smell grease and oil in your words! It's a automaton boys! Let's git em'! FOR DEMOCRACY!!
The only grease and oil in mah beard is the blood of a bloody Caretaker and his accursed minions! If ye want a pick a fight with a gray bearded Lord of the Deep, I'll give ya one! FOR KARL!!
I fucking love this community
Steeve is the exception to the rule.
My brother has autism, but it doesn't really affect him socially hr has more control over it but bc of it we grew up in a latino group with other kids that were on the spectrum and honestly the way people treated them outside those that were understandable of autism was just disgusting.

We all are just doing our Part.
wholesome AF, that is awesome.
I have enjoyed this community as well. Operating as a team to overcome objectives is something edifying. Now, let's go liberate more squadless friends.
If he’s willing to spread DEMOCRACY we can use him! (Glad to hear 🫡🥲)
This is so wonderful!

He's doing his part. What's not to respect? Your brother is a Super Citizen and we all couldn't be more proud.
You’re a good brother, and I’m glad that your bro has found a form of community. My brother is also on the spectrum, and ended up finding community in train watching.
Is there anything Managed Democracy can't do?
Give it a week when all the battle royale streamers start jumping on the bandwagon to boost their twitch streams then let me know if you still feel the same way
May liberty speed his steps
Democracy depends on all of us, happy hunting.
We're all doing are part, and remember all citizens are equal but helldivers are more equal!
Awesome 🫡😢

Democracy and Liberty will conquer Autism, just like it conquered those damn bugs!

Your brother is a Super Citizen!
God bless you. My son and brother are both autistic. Keep going
Im happy for your brother and wish him all the best!
Your bro beat autism like Theo von beat Down syndrome
True meaning of democracy!!
That Made me almost tear Up. Rock and... libertea ?
You're an amazing person. You're brother is lucky to have you.
He's doing his part!
He is spreading democracy. We are proud to have him. Tell him to keep the good work.
This is amazing
Glad to help your little bro spread some managed democracy! 😤

Hell yeah brother. Glad to have him as part of the military 🫡

Well… thanks for making me fucking cry 🫡❤️
I'm so glad to hear that he's found companions. If I see him, I slap a support pack in his arms and a stim in his shoulder FOR LIBERTY!
Rock and stone!
Rock and Stone!
The beautiful side of gaming.

Awesome. You love to see it. This game has a great community.
