HCS in 2022 was a historic year for Halo esports and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of the amazing support of fans, players, and partners alike – thank you. We know everyone has been eagerly awaiting the release of the 2023 roadmap and today we’re excited to finally pull back the curtain. To […]

Always wanted to visit there!

There's multiple spots in the city?

Seeing the energy on main stage especially in grand finals would be awesome

#

Speaking of, Outpost Discovery again when?

dreamy stirrup
#

yeah the HWC before the panda express was at something near the Seahawks stadium

We should all wear name tags with our server name.

dreamy stirrup
#

that was a rad venue

#

someone design a shirt

#

lol

sour gate
#

ahah i would love to go to one of those events but crowded places with lots of noise are my opposite lol

I already have a shirt

dreamy stirrup

that's understandable, Foxtrot

normal owl
fossil skiff
#

Honestly a shirt with a logo and like all our names all over it would be pretty neat.

smoky token
#

I still have my hoodie from Outpost with my GT but it’s small now

fossil skiff
#

No idea what the logo could be though. Gotta be something really unique

faint mantle
#

Granted y'all can't wear it, maybe I can ask for the design with the logos removed šŸ‘€

I actually have a bunch of merch from outpost

Missing out on that is the kind of foam-o I'm ok with.

ā€œFused her vertebraeā€ and had to terminate a pregnancy

molten pelican

foam pit more dangerous then run down trampoline park

smoky token
#

I wonder if she sued

molten pelican
obsidian wyvern

she must have

muted rose

The only way twitchcon could be worse is if they replaced a foam pit with a trampoline

so less than 3 blocks lol

prettu much

molten pelican

brilliant, twitch

Just a normal trampoline, nothing special

Apparently about 90% of the moderation staff have all been there since the very start of the platform, before Amazon bought it

dreamy stirrup
#

i believe in you! ā¤ļø

None of them are professionally trained and can’t be fired because of some old contract so most of the actual platform bends to the will of a bunch of immature and seemingly quite hormonal 35 year olds

theres a reason why everyone complains about twitch being super nice to some streamers

molten pelican
#

does discord count as social media or nah

obsidian wyvern
#

yes

muted rose
sour gate
#

kinda? i see it more as a messaging app

molten pelican
#

we will destroy all social media except difcawd

obsidian wyvern
#

isnt a messaging app a form of social media

muted rose
#

Although ā€œpointsā€ or ā€œlikesā€ are absent

#

So it couldn’t be true social media, unless you count reactions as likes

reactions are the most ego boosting thing on planet earth

obsidian wyvern

How much did I boost your ego

Perfect rice every. single. time.

All the bathrooms here smell like rancid piss

Yeah it’s awesome. We have a couple really old diners and stuff around our place, I work at one that’s been around since 1965

Although it burned down in 2008, so it doesn’t really count

molten pelican

But the brand is still around

dreamy stirrup

and his name just popped into my head so i googled him and he has a soundcloud

LOL

I would accept a modest increase to my mortgage to have a good Chinese place across the street. My life would be upgraded so much.

Yuh

Spaghetti and ramen are both basically the same in terms of flexibility

molten pelican

do you eat your spaghetti not flexible?

Usually the main difference is how it’s prepared

firm noodles just isnt it

i used to crush up the packs of cheap ramen, sprinkle some of the packet back in

hence the rice cooker

But there’s a very certain way to prepare it, incorrect preparation is very lethal.

i do not think i want to cook fugu.

obsidian wyvern

one of my friends did a cooking stream once, we were all certain she was gonna burn the house down lol

that is very dangerous.

Have you guys had fish jaw, like salmon or yellowtail? It's very good: marbled, almost tastes like a different fish.

YES

dreamy stirrup

yeah the cheeks are usually extra fatty

also idk why but i don't love salmon

I’m not a fan of kissing fish

Salmonella is a nasty bug

Potentially hot take, no one does fish better than the Baltics

#

Also a potentially biased take, since I am Baltic

dreamy stirrup

šŸ˜‚

muted rose

Very hot take: nobody does fish better than the ocean

normal owl

every time i've had it cooked it's been gross to me

and i can't bring myself to try it raw

idk why

muted rose

Gollum begs to differ

mannnn if you could have it from my buddy's place...

Salmin does vary a lot in how good it is based on preparation.

smoky token

Also a potentially hot take

obsidian wyvern

#

Farmed salmon is better than wild salmon

#

Much more consistent and flavorful in taste

dreamy stirrup

that is a hot take

This is proper tuna

i adore the mid-atlantic

but i don't necessarily care for the DC metro area

fossil skiff
#

Is it noisy?

dreamy stirrup
#

but it IS gorgeous

#

it's just a lot of traffic, a lot of people, everything is deceptively far

#

to get anywhere/do anything is minimum 30 mins in the car

fossil skiff

Ack. Yeah I couldn’t do that.

#

We have traffic, but not that level of traffic

dreamy stirrup
#

i've lived in places with terrible traffic

#

seattle, LA, DC

#

it's all junk

fossil skiff
#

The worst it gets here is when the Ports and Gulfstream have their shift change

amber mirage
#

We need better public transit around this country

balmy tundra
#

indeed

fossil skiff
#

They tried to mitigate it with rolling shift changes but that doesn’t seem to do much.

dreamy stirrup
#

DC itself has great public transit honestly

#

but the problem is our country is massive and everything is so spread out

#

lol

dreamy stirrup
#

i'm guessing somewhere down on the gulf coast

fossil skiff
dreamy stirrup

hey i was close

fossil skiff

Gulfstream is headquartered here. There’s a lot of their stuff here.

Pretty cool driving by the airport and seeing the planes though.

obsidian wyvern

we have a private plan strip near here where some planes do stunts every once in a while

I have been here since 2003 with the exception of 2 years and honestly it’s the city’s fault for dragging their knees on improving the roads

A whole chunk of the city centre is just an airport someone decided to place. And the rest of the city just expanded around it.

Niceeee. I haven’t seen a carrier in person yet. Only a destroyer that was docked downtown once for a call or something.

whats the time in america or wherever you are?

smoky token

Aw, no embeds?

not sure why it's not embedding 😮

wont' for me either

smoky token

Let me just try and upload it

dreamy stirrup

lol way ahead of you

fossil skiff

Is it because it’s a .mov file?

dreamy stirrup

might be, yeah

No

oh or not

but also this is so pretty

Have you ever heard of the green dot?

Have you ever seen uhh

If I have I don’t remember

The one where they go to the underworld or whatever

I forgot the plot

obsidian wyvern

yea

was it filmed there or smthn?

The green flash from them actually going to wherever they went is an actual weather phenomenon

Pretty

fossil skiff

When the sun is rising or setting it can create a spotlight effect for lack of a better explanation

smoky token

That’s all ice coming off the hull isn’t it?

fossil skiff

Nope. That’s the exhaust plume from the engine.

smoky token
#

Huh

#

Beautiful

fossil skiff
#

As you go into the upper atmosphere the air pressure acting on the nozzle’s exit decreases

#

Eventually you have virtually no pressure so it expands a lot

you guys see shooting stars much?

Second dot in this photo is the first stage of that rocket btw. It’s a Falcon 9.

obsidian wyvern
#

how close are you to a launch site

fossil skiff
#

Those are from Kennedy Space Center in Florida so…4 hours maybe?

#

But depending on their closeness to the coast you see the rocket about a minute after liftoff. Which is insane.

#

See the stage separation most of the time.

obsidian wyvern
#

oh nvm i thought itd be like an hour away max

#

the fact you can see it that well is crazy

fossil skiff
#

Missions to the ISS pretty much hug the coastline so if weather (and timing) permits it always a good show

#

Even see the first stage reentering for landing if you’re lucky

#

Starlink launches were a trip. Seeing a bunch of dots going in a train was cool though.

it was a bit more complex, we were measuring deforestation using NDVI. The plan was to try see if there was any unauthorised deforestation taking place so that we could flag it to whoever, they liked our idea and took us to the next stage where we actually started coding it. and then that happened ^
