general-chat

[bronze breach]

I need to see if I have it lol

Going to try more combos after work

[hasty zinc]

matching armor pieces to visor was such a good idea

[floral pollen]

I have been showed ducc chess, and I need it

[fickle drift]

Ducc? As in duck?

[floral pollen]

Yes

It is amazing looking

[fickle drift]

Lol

[floral pollen]

One of my friends is currently 3D printing it

Also, yea @bronze breach, Mentors Gift is the closest I can find (of the visors I have rn) to Steel Blue

[copper meadow]

Power rangers?

[hasty zinc]

ooh what about bell toll

[floral pollen]

With which coating?

[hasty zinc]

brb, experimenting

[amber mirage]

Which power rangers ever looked like that?

[floral pollen]

Oke, I will too

[fickle drift]

We need a full black coating and a full white coating that is available on all cores imo

[bronze breach]

For the orange and grey coating you could use the fanta orange visor. But I dont have that lol

[ruby pecan]

Blackout with Fuchsia trim

[copper meadow]

Which armor coating is this anyways?

[bronze breach]

Steel coatings

[floral pollen]

Bell Toll looks ok with Bootstrap Burn and Redsteel Splinter imo

[thick parrot]

hey yall

halo newbie here

[forest lagoon]

Bell toll is the only way I roll

[floral pollen]

Still think I prefer Rampant and Redsteel Splinter tho

[hasty zinc]

I like this

[floral pollen]

Yaas

[bronze breach]

Bell troll?

[forest lagoon]

As the kids say, drippy

[floral pollen]

Indeed

[normal owl]

How very unclownlike of you.

[fossil skiff]

Goated, even

[floral pollen]

I almost forgot about the Tag plugin

lemme put that on rq

Looks even better now

[forest lagoon]

Oh, my campaign stances finally unlocked!

[floral pollen]

Nice

[hasty zinc]

ok so you remember that one chimera pic with the floaty bits?

[floral pollen]

Yeeessss

[hasty zinc]

this one

[forest lagoon]

Vaguely

OMG

[candid epoch]

oooo

[hasty zinc]

look what I jut did

[forest lagoon]

I don't remember that! How'd i miss it

[candid epoch]

looking sick

[floral pollen]

Mike has done it

You just need Flenser now

[hasty zinc]

those floaty bits aren't an attachment, it's a visual bug

[forest lagoon]

Say it's promethean tech

[hasty zinc]

so the actual floaty bits attachmemtns will never be a thing

[normal owl]

I hope they don't fix that bug: it's a neat different thing.

[floral pollen]

I had my spartan just stare at her gloves yesterday, twice

even out of menu

[candid epoch]

she's depressed 😔

[hasty zinc]

you can't actually wear it though, it's like the other bugs where attachments go on the wrong helmet

[normal owl]

oh dang ok

[hasty zinc]

as soon as you back out it goes away

[floral pollen]

I had that before with the Mercury helmet end TAS/Netmoon lol

[hasty zinc]

so that picture that 343 posted wasn't a hint at future armor pieces, it's just a bug 😦

[faint mantle]

Oh, so that's the horned anti-gravity helmet?

[floral pollen]

Ima try and do it again

[faint mantle]

Now it interests me 👀

[hasty zinc]

it's just peacemaker attachments on the wrong helmet

[faint mantle]

Awh...

Oh wait, attachments

[hasty zinc]

I am now sad

[faint mantle]

So it IS the one?

[hasty zinc]

huh?

[dreamy stirrup]

https://youtu.be/uHGShqcAHlQ

[hasty zinc]

it's the side attachments for peacmaker helmet

[floral pollen]

I did it again

[normal owl]

The switch console special edition is beautiful too.

[faint mantle]

Is the helmet on this store the one that sells these two pieces or not?

[dreamy stirrup]

I hate that I want it

I don't even play undocked

I dont need it

But I want it lol

[normal owl]

ugh me too. I do not need it. But I feel I will regret it later if I don't get this beautiful one.

[hasty zinc]

no that is a visual bug

[faint mantle]

[hasty zinc]

see, I can recreate it

[faint mantle]

Guess I'll wait for that attachment to be sold.

...unless it isn't?

[hasty zinc]

my disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined

[normal owl]

Technically it's a good deal comparative to the OLED console's price at launch.

[floral pollen]

Ima send the Mercury helm with the TAS/Netmoon, gimme a sec

[dreamy stirrup]

I have the animal crossing one

But also why doesn't it come with the game Nintendo

[normal owl]

How could we pass up a beautiful white & gold, beautifully designed version though

[hasty zinc]

the attachment doesn't exist by itself, it's just a visual bug from peacemaker helmet

[normal owl]

oh I didn't know that, key info lol

[floral pollen]

https://imgur.com/a/57EBvR2
This is it

[hasty zinc]

you can recreate it yourself, equip the normal chimera helmet, then go to the peacmaker helmet but DON'T equip the helmet, go into the attachment for the peacemaker helmet and equip that, once you do it'll put the peacemaker attachment on the helmet you had before, then one you back out, it will disappear

[dreamy stirrup]

It's so annoying

[drowsy spoke]

Any new single player stuff been added to Halo since launch? I beat the campaign… played MP for a few weeks but it got dull and repetitive

[normal owl]

To date, this Zelda edition is to Switch what the H5 edition was to XB1.

I'll go look at the product page again just to torture myself.

[hasty zinc]

it's how I did that other one with the Zeta helmet and the security attachment

[normal owl]

oh my gosh it's more beautiful than I remember from seeing it a couple days ago

[amber mirage]

If I didn't pre-order the SwOLED, I might be tempted by the Zelda model.

[dreamy stirrup]

Is the OLED that much of an upgrade?

[amber mirage]

I didn't have the original

[dreamy stirrup]

Oh

[normal owl]

I stood in line to get the OLED release bc I never had the original Switch.

[pulsar cobalt]

its just a oled screen and smaller switch that's it

[amber mirage]

I thought it was larger

[dreamy stirrup]

The animal crossing colors are my jam so I loved that one

[normal owl]

So this is literally a $360 duplicate for me...but it's so much more beautiful.

[leaden juniper]

Still has the controller issues from what I've heard. Most of the issues that actually affect gameplay were not fixed

[faint mantle]

For a second I thought you said SLOwLED

[hasty zinc]

the OLED Is larger

at least the screen anyway

[normal owl]

Swoll-ED

[amber mirage]

With the specs inside a switch, not too far off

[amber mirage]

The image I was going for with my abbreviation

[dreamy stirrup]

I know someone who found all 900 koroks in the first one

[normal owl]

I see it now. I yield the field to you sir.

[amber mirage]

I still have not played a Zelda game

[obsidian wyvern]

the animal crossing joycons are amazing

[normal owl]

Well, if you get this Zelda edition console, you won't either (sad lol)

[viral marlin]

So does anyone here play Halo?

[floral pollen]

I've played most of A Link From the Past, that's it

[dreamy stirrup]

Yes I jam out to Beyoncé all the time

[normal owl]

UNSC's Child

[fossil skiff]

Beyoncé is always fun to listen to

[floral pollen]

I'm jus sitting here debating what helmet to use on my Mark VII today

[amber mirage]

I pre-ordered the collector's edition for the new game though. Birthday present to myself, and I like shiny things.

Also more reason for me to play the games

[normal owl]

That's freaking awesome. Definitely an iconic game to get a collector's edition of.

[dreamy stirrup]

My sister is excited for the game too. She put a ton of time into BOTW

[amber mirage]

I wonder how long it'll be before I remove it from the shrink wrap. Got a whole series to play before it.

[dreamy stirrup]

Tbh you don't really need to play the past games

Maybe BOTW

But the Zelda continuity thing is just

Not great

[amber mirage]

I like starting from the beginning though. Seeing how the series evolved and all.

[rancid finch]

Guys I need an opinion on something

[normal owl]

That's a good reminder though Rok: should get TOTK for my buddy's son. He is a switch fanatic.

[dreamy stirrup]

Well prépare yourself. LoZ is not for the faint of heart

[amber mirage]

I know. I've braved many a long and old series.

[dreamy stirrup]

I love it though

[rancid finch]

So rn I’m playing Halo CE and I haven’t played the rest of the Halo games except for infinite. And I don’t know whether I should back up and play Halo Reach or continue onto Halo 2

[dreamy stirrup]

Good luck finding things without a guide lol

[candid solar]

What's Halo

[normal owl]

That's exactly what a friend says about playing through them nowadays.

You guys might like Darksiders 2 then: 1 was explicitly them trying to marry LoZ with God of War type combat (of its time).

[candid solar]

Start in order of chronological release when possible. It'll feel better than chronological in terms of timeline.

[dreamy stirrup]

I genuinely enjoy LoZ and LTTP

[pulsar cobalt]

you don't really need to start reach

[rancid finch]

Chronological or Chronological then😂

[amber mirage]

I started Darksiders 1 and 2 when they were free with Gold, but had to delete them because of lack of hard drive space. No longer an issue, so just a matter of picking them back up again.

[candid solar]

When game came out or when game takes place.

[hasty zinc]

release order

[dreamy stirrup]

Play them in release order

[rancid finch]

Ight

[normal owl]

I enjoyed 1 a lot at the time, but 2 really expanded the game and made it more colorful. Plus, Jesper Kyd makes a great soundtrack.

[fossil skiff]

Release is always best

[rancid finch]

Good to know thank you :)

[normal owl]

Might lose gamer cred here, but what's LTTP?

[obsidian wyvern]

finally finished this week's gamepass quest, took way too long

[candid solar]

[hasty zinc]

Lost The Toilet Paper

[amber mirage]

I don't get it either, so your gamer cred is safe.

[hasty zinc]

Link To The Past

[normal owl]

Love The Top Pringles

[rancid finch]

Let that trans pop

[normal owl]

ahhhhhhhh, Link to the Past. Makes sense.

[amber mirage]

I just figured it out as you were typing it

[normal owl]

*with relief* Good, because my gamer credit line has a low limit from my unpaid backlog bills.

[fossil skiff]

You lost the game

[normal owl]

Yesterday I resolved to not eat the leftover vegan cake in the office fridge today because of Cancun prep.
But suddenly it doesn't seem like it'd be so bad if I had just one more slice.

[candid solar]

[fossil skiff]

That’s what they always say. Next thing you know, you’re ordering another cake

[hasty zinc]

then you end up on a cake binge and miss your flight to Cancun

[normal owl]

and I cannot escape the tyranny of MyFitnessPal. It is not receptive to my pleas.

[fossil skiff]

Have you made it an offer it can’t refuse?

[normal owl]

It would only take a Premium subscription, which I am unwilling to yield at this time.

[normal owl]

This image is hilarious in a sad way lol

[hasty zinc]

Will work for Vegan cake

[fossil skiff]

We’ve had first cake, what about second cake?

[hasty zinc]

is that like second breakfast?

[fossil skiff]

Wait. Rule of 2. Hobbits have 2 breakfasts.

Pippin is a Sith Lord.

[normal owl]

"I can't carry it for you...but I can carry you" was one of the biggest mic-drop lines in movie history for me.

Also, the #1 game I would love to be resurrected for compatibility on modern PCs would be Battle for Middle-Earth 2 + Rise of the Witch King.

I enjoyed BFME2 on X360 but had a hard time with the controller.

[amber mirage]

I remember having Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on my GBA. Many moons ago.

[normal owl]

Also, all those times that Frodo talks about the Ring calling to him. Does that mean...it had a ringtone?

[fossil skiff]

So all those times we heard the March of the orks theme it was just Saruman not answering his phone right?

[snow helm]

Good Morning. Does anyone know a good place to find halo tournaments?

[normal owl]

🎵 "Where there's a whip, there's a way."

Dad found these old animated LOTR movies and they had straight-up musical numbers throughout them. He watched them a lot.

[amber mirage]

I saw them on sale on the MS Store not to long ago. Was tempted to pick them up.

[normal owl]

Oh you should. It's wild.

[amber mirage]

Maybe next time they go on sale.

[dreamy stirrup]

I've never seen LOTR

[normal owl]

There's a different one that covers just Fellowship and Two Towers. It looks like cheap animation layered over real actors. And it makes it very creepy (at least to me as a kid when Dad watched it).

[floral pollen]

I've seen all the movies once, they are really good if you like fantasy stuff

[amber mirage]

I finished the books last year. Now I need to do a proper watch of the movies. I've only ever seen them on TV, and never a single film all in one sitting.

[amber mirage]

I've heard of that. They used rotoscoping to get they effect.

[normal owl]

I think you may really enjoy it: the books were written to give viewpoints of different character groups' journeys, and in writing the trilogy script they painstakingly went through and recut the books into actual parallel chronological events, so it flows well.

[fickle drift]

Oh yes! I had everything unlocked! ❤️ Graphics need an update though! 😂

[dreamy stirrup]

I don't like the books lol

Epic fantasy is junk to me

[amber mirage]

They were a very slow read

[fossil skiff]

If you ever watch LOTR extended edition is the way to go

[obsidian wyvern]

boring ngl

[floral pollen]

The second one is a lot of descriptions of mountains

[dreamy stirrup]

Isn't this like 97 hours each?

I can barely handle a 90 minute movie

[normal owl]

Then the movies may indeed be something more enjoyable. Having the actors and visuals illustrate what the books were trying to do is pretty awesome. And the theme was very revolutionary to me as a kid.

[fossil skiff]

WHAT

Nope. 2.5 to 3 hrs each roughly

[dreamy stirrup]

So yes, 97 hours 😛

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[fossil skiff]

96. Take it or leave it

[normal owl]

The Extended Editions do even out the story significantly. And the added scenes were carefully selected to move the story along and add significance, not just pad runtime.

[fossil skiff]

^^

[pulsar cobalt]

pretty sure its around 12 hours

[normal owl]

e.g. Saruman [and I won't say more than that]

[dreamy stirrup]

Y'all I can't do movies in general

There's no shot I watch 14 hours of one series

[fossil skiff]

Understandable. It does move slowly at times

[normal owl]

What about treating it as a series?

I wonder what the natural episode breaks would be. That'd be an interesting project.

[fossil skiff]

If you had to choose only one to watch, I personally would recommend the return of the king (extended edition) :p

[normal owl]

The end of Fellowship though. One of the few movie scenes to make me struggle to not cry.

For me, LOTR trilogy is up there with Gladiator, Master & Commander, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, and SW Empire.

[fossil skiff]

Been a minute since I sat down and watched Gladiator. I am not entertained..

[normal owl]

Mannnnnnnnn I love that movie. I can picture so many scenes in my head right now.

[copper meadow]

Can being idle during matches be bannable? These idiots make me never want to play again. Ffs just leave the damn match

[fossil skiff]

I hate when that happens in H5 firefight

[copper meadow]

It’s impressive the last 4 matches I’ve played I’m still stuck on win 2/3 matches

[fossil skiff]

One dude had a macro or something going to evade the idle kick. He was doing this weird circle movement the entire match

[amber mirage]

Yeah. AFK players can get booted for idling, which can lead to bans after repeated offenses.

[copper meadow]

The idiot in my game had controller drift or left his controller laying with the joystick moved so he didn’t get kicked

[amber mirage]

You can report them then

[fickle drift]

True

[dreamy stirrup]

i liked when john and i played FF and ran into a guy idling

he didn't have a good day

[amber mirage]

Brought the hammer down?

[fossil skiff]

Drop the hammer! Drop the hammer!

[dreamy stirrup]

i can neither confirm nor deny that we pushed him off the map a few times to a natural selection ban first

wild scene

[fossil skiff]

Your Honor, he simply walked off the map repeatedly

[obsidian wyvern]

but everything in the boys was wild

[normal owl]

Darkstar was a tough map to learn but ended up being a great and fair one.

[amber mirage]

I forgot about that map. It was a real good one

[normal owl]

Talking about it gives me that H5 Warzone itch, holy crap.

[fossil skiff]

That map when it’s a Phaeton round is terrifying

[obsidian wyvern]

so whens customs night and when is h5 night

[fossil skiff]

Just minding my business when all a sudden 15 of them bad bois show up

[normal owl]

Well you know I'm always ok with any night becoming H5 night.

[fossil skiff]

Every night is H5 night as long as my nameplate doesn’t say 152

[obsidian wyvern]

🫡

[smoky token]

I don’t even think I’m a tenth of the way to 152 and I don’t think I’ll ever be

[hasty zinc]

not with that attitude you won't

[amber mirage]

As much as I enjoy H5, I enjoy exploring other games too much to attempt 152

[fickle drift]

Sup

[hasty zinc]

do you know the best way to explore all the latest and greatest titles?

[fossil skiff]

Not at all

[amber mirage]

I think I do, but maybe some other folks here need an explanation.

[hasty zinc]

check out a used game shop

[fossil skiff]

Had us in the first half.

[hasty zinc]

[amber mirage]

"latest and greatest" "used"
Checks out.

[fickle drift]

Are we agree all xbox are perfect designs but goats are Halo

Mostly SX Halo

[hasty zinc]

people can return newer games

[smoky token]

I think I’m level 60 or something close to that

[floral pollen]

Just hit 2 Perfects with the Bandit after being horrible with it for 2 days

[smoky token]

Don’t remember exactly the measurements between levels but iirc that’s pretty low

[copper meadow]

Anyone else getting audio bug with the lava gun?

[smoky token]

I’ve noticed some audio lag across various guns lately

[frail walrus]

I am 147 and that's not even half way

[amber mirage]

60 means you just hatched from the new player egg.

You have graduated to omelette.

[hasty zinc]

I wonder what SR I stopped at

[floral pollen]

My first two Perfects with it I should add

[smoky token]

Submitted a bug report for the DMR in particular last night

[frail walrus]

let that goal go when MCC got the major updates it did. In hindsight, if I had known Infinite was going to be delayed, I would have stuck with it

but alas

[smoky token]

Can you not still get the 152 reward in infinite?

[frail walrus]

I would think you can

but for me, I would just rather play Infinite

also would have to set up xbox, have been a PC gamer for a while now

[fickle drift]

I love English voice of John Major Spartan 117 Masterchief

[hasty zinc]

lol SR52

[frail walrus]

dude just 100 levels away!

ez

[amber mirage]

That's like one battle pass. You got this

[frail walrus]

[fossil skiff]

I only hit SR115 last night

[fossil skiff]

Ngl I’ll be sad if not but meh

[smoky token]

I met him in person at Outpost. Great guy

[floral pollen]

I'm jus over here being pretty well unaware of what SR is lmao

[amber mirage]

Spartan Rank

[fossil skiff]

[floral pollen]

I have only played Infinite, so I haven't run into it

[fossil skiff]

Lot of fun. Great sandbox.

[dreamy stirrup]

i'm 151 i think

then i tapped out cuz work and infinite pre-launch

[copper meadow]

Which mode is best for this weeks ult?

[frail walrus]

BtB

since Bandit starts

[copper meadow]

Oh I didn’t know that

Interesting

[fickle drift]

Who love dragon ball

Who matters dbz and dbs

[frail walrus]

Yeah it's AR/Bandit starts after Tuesday's reset

[dreamy stirrup]

pass

[copper meadow]

Too much screaming

[fickle drift]

No

You too much hearing jap version

[copper meadow]

I see enough blond men screaming in my day to day. I don’t need to watch it on my phone too

[amber mirage]

Watch it on your TV

[copper meadow]

Imagine having a tv

[fickle drift]

You know it's not that

[faint mantle]

@rare cedar scream pls

[fickle drift]

That's have stories and fights

[obsidian wyvern]

met you in a btb match yesterday, gg. you did really well from what i last saw

[dreamy stirrup]

cole is a ringer

[copper meadow]

Been a hot minute since I’ve played btb

[floral pollen]

BTB, or of you can get lucky with Tac. Slayer Bandits

[copper meadow]

Aw man the AI bug is back

[amber mirage]

It never left

[fossil skiff]

It’d be funny if they started saying each other’s lines randomly

Iratus but with lumu’s laugh

[obsidian wyvern]

id like to hear him say keep it clean

[copper meadow]

This ultimate is fort to take forever. Im horrendous in btb

[dreamy stirrup]

you can always search tac slayer looking for bandits?

[fickle drift]

The best antagonist is Broly

But peoples according to mean its freezer

[copper meadow]

Superintendent has the best lines for vehicles and is the best AI imo. Butler second

3/10 bandit kills in a single match 💀

[fossil skiff]

I haven’t settled on a favorite. Never used Lumu before so that’s been mine recently

Ha ha ha haaaaa

[fickle drift]

Why anime pic

[amber mirage]

Why not?

[molten pelican]

indeed

[fossil skiff]

bcuz

[tight remnant]

It's been more prominent.

The Bandit starts are fun. I like the bandit now

[supple hazel]

Still sounds a bit too beefy for the damage imo

[copper meadow]

Someone wanna tell me how I was just able to plant a grenade on my teammates scorpion?

[shell tundra]

Hello

This was a test bc my account was locked for a day

[supple hazel]

Enemy was probably in it. Either driving or on turret

[shell tundra]

I got scared

[supple hazel]

Any idea why?

[shell tundra]

I logged out of my account and logged back in and it said suspicious activity was happening while I was gone so it had me verify who I was with my phone number BUT my phone number was on a deleted account so I physically cannot verify it no matter what

[supple hazel]

Yikes, that happened to me once

[copper meadow]

Nope

because there was a enemy boarded

[rare cedar]

I wish you told me this earlier

[hasty zinc]

probably one of those, destroy it so they can't get it situations

[copper meadow]

Hm

Wish there was an option to mount it and punch the hell out of him lol

Beat ‘em off with a stick

[hasty zinc]

something something two sticks and a rock

[fossil skiff]

Get the heck off my tracks

[smoky token]

So you’re, what, halfway there?

[copper meadow]

That would be 171.5

[fossil skiff]

What

[copper meadow]

171.5x2=343

Bad joke

[balmy tundra]

And now I’m done with the winter pass

On to lone wolves

[copper meadow]

It’s been how many months since winter pass started and you just now completed it?

[balmy tundra]

I came back during season 3

[copper meadow]

Ah ok

[balmy tundra]

So I did that pass first

[copper meadow]

I’m still a pass behind on lone wolves but I don’t think I’ll be buying s3

[balmy tundra]

Took like 3 days in total

I have too much free time

[muted rose]

Season 3 was a bit of a let down for a mark 7 fan like me

The pass at least, the store items have been fire

[copper meadow]

I’m the opposite. I despise mark 7 and have more colors for it that I’ll never use

5 has barely any colors and it’s outrageous

[muted rose]

What core do you run?

[dreamy stirrup]

yes 💀

[dreamy stirrup]

also someone wants to know about buffy

[copper meadow]

5 all the way

Chimeria is the first I’ve used in months just to see how it looks after completing the pass

[muted rose]

Gigachad core

[copper meadow]

I do Jun’s armor with Emile’s dragoon and armor color

[muted rose]

I just made my core my reach spartan and left it. If firefall or the mk 7 helmet ever become cross core I’ll probably run it

[copper meadow]

It would be nice if there was a custom core we could cross armor and color

[balmy tundra]

I like all of them for different reasons, though I usually run whichever one I get new stuff for on the pass

[muted rose]

I want the gen 3 mk 6 to be a custom core if we ever get one

[amber mirage]

I forget about the Mark V core. Looks too bland for me.

[pure spindle]

I present everything you need to know about Buffy

[muted rose]

Chimera fan?

[balmy tundra]

Chimera looks not halo. And that’s a good thing

It looks sort of off from the human perspective

But it’s designed for AI

So it fits

[muted rose]

I think that’s the point.

[copper meadow]

Boooo

[balmy tundra]

And that’s what’s cool about it

[copper meadow]

Racksha is worse then V. Doesn’t even have back armor

[muted rose]

But I still have a hard time imagining someone putting cqb on. It seems more like an iron man kinda helmet, with the front opening and everything

Also seems small

[balmy tundra]

don't slander my boi the CQB helmet

besides, i still want military police

[muted rose]

Rakasha shoulder pads should be cross core. Only good part of the core

[balmy tundra]

they have that one kneepad which canonized griffball

[muted rose]

Man your just full of hot takes aren’t you

I’m kidding. Any helmet for V would be a great addition, even mp

[balmy tundra]

yeah. I like how it was on the marines at the end of reach

and then you earn it right after

[muted rose]

I like the clear visor the marines had on the helmet

It looks kinda goofy with gold visor

[amber mirage]

I like everything except Mark V because they have something that pops out and feels eye-catching. Mark VII has a ton of variety, Chimera has the cool biotech look it, Yoroi has the Samurai aesthetic, Rakshasa looks lightweight and cobbled together, Eaglestrike has the dieselpunk look, and Mirage has a cool silhouette. Mark V just looks like a more basic Mark VII to me.

Maybe if Mark V had the same variety of pieces that Mark VII had, I'd like it more.

[dreamy stirrup]

@fossil skiff

[muted rose]

It’s for nostalgia if you want my honest opinion. Just to bring something from reach to keep the veterans

[fossil skiff]

Many thanks! Buffy is adorable ❤️

Does Buffy slay vampires?

[muted rose]

I ain’t complaining though

[balmy tundra]

Mark V[B] is to my knowledge what VII is based on

[muted rose]

Really? I thought it was a testbed for gen 3 mk 6.

[balmy tundra]

technically, mark VII predates gen 2

i think

Naomi-10 had it during kilo 5

[muted rose]

Yes, there’s a gen 1 variant that Naomi wore

[balmy tundra]

yeah, the mark VII in infinite is the improved version

[muted rose]

Huh. New tidbit of knowledge

[hasty zinc]

want another one?

[safe dawn]

Hello there

[safe dawn]

Wait wat

I thought she had mkvb

[balmy tundra]

they just look nearly identical

[pliant hatch]

cat is saying who's interuptin my cleaning session

[copper meadow]

I’d be amazed if anyone has seen that show here

[balmy tundra]

i have

[hasty zinc]

I've seen it

[copper meadow]

🤨

[pliant hatch]

it was pretty popular

[copper meadow]

I stand corrected amazed

[hasty zinc]

anyone ever heard of Game of Thrones?

[copper meadow]

I refuse to watch that from what I’ve heard from a friend

[normal owl]

[copper meadow]

Doesn’t someone important die like every 2 episodes?

[hasty zinc]

don't worry, there's an episode that makes up for all the episodes that didn't have deaths in it

[pliant hatch]

still haven't seen GoT.

[hasty zinc]

Gears of Thrones

[amber mirage]

I watched three episodes of the show. Read the books, though. I know I'll never get to read the conclusion.

[copper meadow]

I haven’t watched any Garry potter either

[smoky token]

The amount of people replying to artists commission sheets with “why pay when I can just use AI?” On Twitter is insane

I’m flabbergasted

[copper meadow]

I don’t really go watch anything just because it’s popular

[amber mirage]

Garry Potter was great though.

[copper meadow]

AI is never going to replace human art

[copper meadow]

I tried

[smoky token]

I saw one person get 2.7 million views on a tweet saying it

Every reply was varying versions of “I’m now going to commission this artist just to spite you”

It was beautiful

[balmy tundra]

why though?

AI can't be creative

[smoky token]

Don’t ask me, I’m not an AI supporter

If I had my way all generative AI would be destroyed right now

[hasty zinc]

[smoky token]

Fret is an exception because he is a good boy

[hasty zinc]

[dreamy stirrup]

love fret

[balmy tundra]

the AI in this game are great

i wish for more of them

or having them all at once

i want a cacophony of noise

[smoky token]

Oh yeah

I got a weird bug yesterday where I was hearing butler even though circ was selected

No idea what caused it

[amber mirage]

That's been there since launch

[smoky token]

I haven’t encountered it until now and it’s not on the known issues list

[amber mirage]

Seems completely random from my experience

[balmy tundra]

it's honestly a fun bug

makes me happy to see butler show up every once in a while

[copper meadow]

I get it every other week

[dreamy stirrup]

yeah this is known.

it's also very hard for QA to repro because there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it

so it's very tricky 😦

[amber mirage]

Are there log files for players to send on the PC version that people submit?

[smoky token]

There’s DxDiag but that’s about it

[faint mantle]

Yeah, it's supposed to be in Problem Reports

[smoky token]

Oh?

[faint mantle]

It'll look something like this

[smoky token]

Right, I forgot about these

[faint mantle]

And there's another, but its location has changed between the tech preview, Season 1, and Season 3 and I can't remember where it's stored anymore.

[smoky token]

Ooh, Mordhau is free on Epic right now

[amber mirage]

That doesn't look like a comprehensive log, though. Just seems to be a crash report.

[faint mantle]

There's also a .asr file that is new and is generated at the root folder of the game. I don't know what it does but Halo Support has begun to request it now.

[faint mantle]

Remind me to look for the new file in two hours

I have crashed like twice but maybe that will have left a log file maybe

[hasty zinc]

Death Stranding is easily the best free game epic gave away IMO. I am having so much fun with it

[faint mantle]

Even though there usually isn't one in problem reports

[amber mirage]

Someone remind me to remind Merty in two hours

[hasty zinc]

will do

someone remind me to remind rok in 2 hours

[obsidian wyvern]

only if someone reminds me to remind you

[candid quail]

i'd like to play death stranding but don't feel like slogging through most of the game for it to get good

[smoky token]

Will do

[hasty zinc]

it's only like the first hour that's a little slow, it opens up and is absolutely fantastic. I hated it the first time I played it. Gave it second change and I love it

[smoky token]

Someone remind me to remind aegis in 2 hours

[dreamy stirrup]

you got it

[obsidian wyvern]

pfft you messed up titan lol

[dreamy stirrup]

now someone needs to remind me to remind Titan to remind aegis to remind rok

[amber mirage]

But, I was mainly asking because the software I support generates logs that track events from launch to close. We request those to help identify non-crashing issues. I imagined Halo might have had something akin to that that would've been helpful. I probably could've tried to repro and submit my files if I got it.

[hasty zinc]

too late, you need to jump back in the fold

[candid quail]

i mean, people said the same thing about days gone

[obsidian wyvern]

ill never remind sam, sucks

[smoky token]

I’ve got a ton of EGS games in my backlog I haven’t touched

[amber mirage]

Same

[hasty zinc]

you missed your one chance to ping a 343 employee... smh

[amber mirage]

The only ones I have played are 3 out of 10

[faint mantle]

Anyone else?

[obsidian wyvern]

it didnt work last time, it wont work again lol

[hasty zinc]

I have faith

of the heart

[obsidian wyvern]

that should work

[amber mirage]

Good game. Very informational.

[balmy tundra]

star trek enterprise time

[elfin glacier]

Me

[muted rose]

Yes

I love being enlightened

[steady jolt]

Late, but it's probably one of, if not my absolute, favorite shows. Also how I met my wife (well, that was due to Angel)

[muted rose]

I’m watching ER right now, but I’m not really a big tv guy. Anything on Netflix or Hulu I should watch?

[smoky token]

Have you seen uhhh

Russian Doll?

[muted rose]

No, what’s it about?

[amber mirage]

A Russian doll

[muted rose]

Very informative, thank you.

[amber mirage]

I do my best

[smoky token]

A lady going through a mid life crisis who goes back in time and inhabits the body of various members of her family (mom, grandma, etc) while doing so in order to do uhh… something?

I can’t remember if it’s a spoiler or not

[steady jolt]

Orange is the new black was good

[smoky token]

Been a while since I watched it

[obsidian wyvern]

6 underground

its a film, not a show btw

[steady jolt]

Outer Banks on Netflix

[muted rose]

Orange is the new black, 6 underground, Russian doll

[steady jolt]

Alias is a great Spy show, 5 seasons

[muted rose]

I’ve heard of outer banks

[muted rose]

Actually I think my parents have all of it on dvd

Same with 24

[fickle drift]

spy kids

[balmy tundra]

my dog is an expert in 24

she watched all of it with my mom

[smoky token]

Did they take Red vs Blue off Netflix

[obsidian wyvern]

THAT WAS ON NETFLIX??

[balmy tundra]

its all on youtube now

[muted rose]

Watched it. Totally cool if your a child. Stupid if your any older than 10

[balmy tundra]

thats how i found it

[obsidian wyvern]

i didnt realise it got that big

[balmy tundra]

i thought it was official halo tv

[smoky token]

The 4K versions?

[balmy tundra]

maybe? I'm not sure

[smoky token]

For a good couple of years, yeah

[muted rose]

I never knew it was on Netflix I watched season 1 on YouTube and I haven’t gotten to watch season 2 yet

[obsidian wyvern]

i cant be bothered watching it

[hasty zinc]

forerunners were vegetarian

[obsidian wyvern]

heard the new seasons are pretty bad too

[balmy tundra]

you stop at the end of chorus

[low parrot]

Yo so idk where to put this bc I just joined but it won’t let me level up my fracture firewall

[muted rose]

Polka intensifies

[obsidian wyvern]

you can only do 10 tiers a week
itll come back for another 2 weeks after this one

[balmy tundra]

after that it gets hit or miss

[muted rose]

Makes sense. Mantle and everything

[hasty zinc]

they also loved hats

[low parrot]

Ohhhh I didn’t know that, thank you.

[balmy tundra]

Singularity has great donut development, but it also is after the worst season

[calm fiber]

The FIREWALL event weeks are scheduled for the following dates:

Week 1: March 21-28
Week 2: April 11-18
Week 3: May 23-30
Week 4: June 13-20

Each week, players can unlock up to 10 tiers of their 20-tier Event Pass.

[smoky token]

I don’t think I’ve watched singularity

[balmy tundra]

it has a lot on time travel

i binged the whole series on the weekend

[smoky token]

So it’s just like seasons 4 and 5 then

[balmy tundra]

but like, weirder

[obsidian wyvern]

idk how much is on netflix but this is my movie recommendations
https://photos.app.goo.gl/qfbFPrZR3VndPasd9

[low parrot]

Everything after that just feels strange and clunky.

[steady jolt]

Some of the Alien/Space TV shows in the last few years have been awesome:

• Another Life
• The Expanse
• Away

[safe dawn]

o/

[amber mirage]

The anthology season was pretty cool, but yeah, the rest that follows isn't as good.

[pliant hatch]

today is dragging

[muted rose]

Been wanting to see that for awhile. Is it on any platforms?

[fossil skiff]

Agreed :/

[obsidian wyvern]

which

there's a whole list if you're just referring to the Shawshank redemption lol

[muted rose]

Hulu, Netflix, prime

I don’t usually browse I just take recommendations and watch them

[obsidian wyvern]

not sure what it's on, I think I watched it on prime but idk

[muted rose]

Prime is always rotating stuff but I’ll check rn

[amber mirage]

Shawshank should be on HBO Max and Netflix, at the very least

[obsidian wyvern]

I really only used prime for the boys and invincible

(which I would also recommend)

[amber mirage]

Pretty much the same. I also used it for the Rebuild of Evangelion films.

I should probably watch Legend of Vox Machina on it

[hasty zinc]

Jury Duty on Prime is really funny

[smoky token]

Eva fan spotted

[muted rose]

Yeah I heard about jury duty

[smoky token]

Dispensing comments about intellect

[amber mirage]

7/10 show. 10/10 films.

[smoky token]

Really??

You liked the rebuilds more than the show?

[amber mirage]

End of Eva mainly was the best of them all.

[smoky token]

True

[obsidian wyvern]

wait there's films?

[muted rose]

I’m not watching evangelion. Or sao, or anything that has a scene that doesn’t need to be in it

[smoky token]

EoE was the pinnacle of filmmaking period

[muted rose]

Especially of that caliber

[grand aurora]

um um um why 7/10 show

[obsidian wyvern]

I was planning on watching the show soon but now I'm not sure what order to go in

[smoky token]

1 movie that ties into the show, 4 that sort of remix the show

[obsidian wyvern]

so what do I watch

[smoky token]

Watch the show, then the End of Evangelion (all on Netflix), then watch the rebuilds in order

It’s not too difficult

[muted rose]

Not evangelion

[amber mirage]

I thought the show was good but wasn't great. The End of Eva film was just all around fantastic.

[obsidian wyvern]

nvm don't watch the boys lol

[smoky token]

You don’t need to watch Death And Rebirth (aka Death True^2)

[grand aurora]

does the netflix version have the uhhhhh opening scene if you know what i mean

[smoky token]

Was it just the ending

[smoky token]

Yes

It has everything

For better or worse

[grand aurora]

well then

[smoky token]

Minus one important line

They redubbed it and threw out Kaworu’s line from the OG

you know the one

[grand aurora]

oh

[smoky token]

I won’t spoil

[grand aurora]

why'd they do that but not censor the EXTREMELY questionable scene

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll move out this chat for a while, you can talk about it

[muted rose]

I don’t usually watch anime, I find it visually unappealing. I’ll read manga, but not if I have a choice.

[amber mirage]

No. It was mainly that it just felt kind of off. I love me some abstract art, but the show didn't really feel super engaging all the time in way that really paid off. The films did it really well.

[grand aurora]

eva is the only anime i like because i am to stupid to understand 90% of all other anime

[smoky token]

Just out of curiosity, what was “not super engaging”?

[amber mirage]

I guess the pacing, mainly.

Been a while since I watched it so specifics are fuzzy

[muted rose]

We should force rok to watch andor

[amber mirage]

Get me Disney+ then sure.

[muted rose]

If you don’t like slow pacing, you’ll die watching andor

[amber mirage]

After I finish Clone Wars

I'm not against slow pacing, so long as it feels well done.

[muted rose]

Oh ok then nevermind you’ll probably like it

I forget that people not in my generation don’t need everything dangled in front of them like babies and keys

[obsidian wyvern]

andor wasn't really slow

[smoky token]

Swear

Delete pls

[obsidian wyvern]

I didn't even see the first part until you said that

[muted rose]

I know, compared to other slow shows it’s actually quite fast

[obsidian wyvern]

I guess my twitter played the video before I fully scrolled down

[muted rose]

Naughty dynf

[obsidian wyvern]

I swear I didn't know lmfao

[muted rose]

It’s fine happens to everyone

[obsidian wyvern]

all that matters is aegis took part in a fashion show

[muted rose]

He would win every time

[next brook]

Why can't I share any media at all? The + button is grayed out

[amber mirage]

I wouldn't win. My Spartan is too faboo

[muted rose]

Media is disabled. You’ll have to embed a link.

[hasty zinc]

Excuse me rev, did you ping me? Please adhere to my ping role selections, gosh!

[muted rose]

Do it in show and tell tho

[obsidian wyvern]

the start of andor was good
the middle was absolutely amazing
the ending was fine

[muted rose]

The Eye is some of the best tv I’ve ever seen

Or just media in general

[obsidian wyvern]

help

[hasty zinc]

it's very straight forward, geez

[final creek]

Im back

[muted rose]

You may ping, but pingING is forbidden

[amber mirage]

Ping are okay, just don't ping

[obsidian wyvern]

thank you

[muted rose]

Easiest speedrun tutorial on YouTube

[fossil skiff]

Which one is it :pain:
Heck

[obsidian wyvern]

rip

attorney got inheritor yesterday, you'll get it soon

[dreamy stirrup]

how do y'all like the ping stuff? good/bad?

[fossil skiff]

Eh, I’ve broken a rule or two before so I do not expect it

[obsidian wyvern]

I've broken so many dw

[fossil skiff]

It’s nice. I like it

[muted rose]

The pinging rules are a rule of all time.

[fossil skiff]

Though honestly 2 years of being here has made non ping a habit lol

[obsidian wyvern]

if slipspace hasn't got the no ping role yet, can I ping him

[silent trail]

Hello everyone 🙂

[fossil skiff]

Howdy

[fickle drift]

wouldn't it be more efficient to just have the no ping bell, then assume anyone who doesn't have it is ok to be pinged, because even with both you're still left with the people in the middle that don't have either

[normal owl]

smh those people that have neither the Yes Ping nor No Ping icon.

[fossil skiff]

Congrats on Inheritor 😄

[amber mirage]

After a career of helping out Inheritor's, Attorney is finally one himself.

[fickle drift]

I love theme halo

Oaaaahoooaaaah

[fossil skiff]

Oh yeah, if anyone wants to look at the corrupted hex skins for other weapons I noticed they’re in customization now

Not sure if it’s all of ‘em or not but yeh

[normal owl]

Thank you! I still have to consider what my 1st picture will be.

[normal owl]

That got a nice big lol from me

[rare cedar]

[obsidian wyvern]

been there for a while

but i dont see pass tense for bulldog 😐

[bronze breach]

._.

[fossil skiff]

Corrupted hex armor coating

[dreamy stirrup]

it might not even exist honestly

[fossil skiff]

Such is life 😞

[normal owl]

Maybe pass tense will be coming in the future.

[dreamy stirrup]

(i'm now looking in our economy info and i don't actually see a Bulldog Pass Tense at all 😮 )

[fossil skiff]

Hexagons on the mark 7 would be really cool though

[hasty zinc]

I asked Pierre and he said it's ok to share the economy info here with us

[fossil skiff]

Excellent news

[obsidian wyvern]

cmon.. it was the last one for the weapons

[hasty zinc]

see

[copper meadow]

When will we get the pizza weapon wraps😭

[hasty zinc]

never

[normal owl]

Well do you want pizza or do you want wraps?

[dreamy stirrup]

hang on lemme send that to pierre and ask if it's legit

[fossil skiff]

No need Sam, he already said ok 😄

[hasty zinc]

he told me on snap just now that he'll say no just to mess with you

[copper meadow]

I want to eat my AR during slayer

[hasty zinc]

what a silly goose

[dreamy stirrup]

hovers over

[fossil skiff]

It was my idea not his
Oh don’t do it

[hasty zinc]

up one and we're golden

[obsidian wyvern]

double clicks

[normal owl]

snip snap snip snap!

[copper meadow]

Are you impersonating a crab?

[normal owl]

It's a quote from The Office about a back-and-forth.

Being hungry is what makes me impersonate a crab.

[fossil skiff]

My cat impersonates a crab, but only when she gets spooked

[normal owl]

haha aw

[fossil skiff]

No seriously, look up cats crab walking. It’s so funny

[normal owl]

That makes me realize I miss nice big plates of steamed snow crab. Haven't enjoyed that in years.

[hasty zinc]

found it

[fossil skiff]

Their little tails poof up and they get all fuzzy and ANGERY and try to look intimidating

[normal owl]

WHY Aegis

[fossil skiff]

haha

[rare cedar]

[normal owl]

These are so freaky, I can't do it.

[fossil skiff]

Omg I need to try an AI version of this

[hasty zinc]

is this better

[fossil skiff]

Science has gone too far

[hasty zinc]

why are there so many of these, my lord

[hasty zinc]

I'll warn myself

[rare cedar]

[normal owl]

That reduces my snow crab craving.

[rare cedar]

I warn then pardon myself every day

[fickle drift]

Who wanna play halo

[fossil skiff]

What about crab Rangoons

[fickle drift]

Btb

[normal owl]

I've never actually been into those, believe it or not.

Understandable. It took me a bit to really grow into ‘em. This one small Japanese place had some amazing ones

[hasty zinc]

they're kinda small to get into anyway

[fossil skiff]

I miss it ;-;

[normal owl]

Definitely believe it. I've heard that a good crab rangoon is really delectable.

[fossil skiff]

I’m quite shellfish when it comes to eating them

[normal owl]

[hasty zinc]

what you call crab walk Sol, is what my wife and I call halloween cat

"oh he's doing halloween cat again"

[fossil skiff]

aww

Last night I accidentally summoned the poofy tail. I dropped a cardboard box on tile and the new kitten was not ready

[normal owl]

aw they get so alarmed.

[fossil skiff]

Not on purpose!**

[fossil skiff]

It’s even better when you hear ripping carpet a microsecond later and just see a blur go running down the hallway

[hasty zinc]

so when it's time for bed, I stand up and say two words to my cat "night night" and he knows it's time for treats and bedtime. When I stand up and look at him he goes "meow meow" imitating me before I say night night

[fossil skiff]

That’s amazing

[hasty zinc]

he's on such a routine

[normal owl]

That is SO CUTE

[normal owl]

hahaha those rascals know what they're doing.

[fossil skiff]

It’s funny how smart animals can get

Especially horses. For some reason they can be exceptionally good at trolling

[hasty zinc]

he knows the specific sound of the containers/wrappers of lunchmeat

[normal owl]

I've wanted a pet for years, but I can't bring myself to be ok with leaving it alone/with someone if I go away on a trip/

[fossil skiff]

My kind of cat. must be turkey day!

[hasty zinc]

I could make a whole sandwich and he wouldn't budge but the second he hears the lunchmeat being opened from the other room he BOLTS

[normal owl]

oh my gosh, Dad's guinea pig used to know the sound of the fridge opening and know it was Dad getting fruit for him.

[fossil skiff]

That’s ours with the freezer. They know the sound it makes and come running for ice cubes to play with

[hasty zinc]

my cat loves spaghetti noodles, cheese curls, ice cream and cake

[rare cedar]

My old dog knew when I brought home Burger King.

Any other fast food burger joint with fries? Not phased. Burger King?

[normal owl]

Dang, it gets to enjoy more dairy than I can.

aerosol whipped cream apparently has a very distinct sound

[hasty zinc]

he only gets a few licks of vanilla though, since they're not supposed to have a lot of milk

[fossil skiff]

Was your dog’s name XLR8?

[dreamy stirrup]

i'd take the lid off and start shaking

[rare cedar]

He’d FREAK OUT cause he loved the French fries

[dreamy stirrup]

and the dogs would come FLYING

[amber iris]

BEAT FIRETEAM RAVEN AT THE LOW LOW COST OF ABOUT 25 DOLLARS

[dreamy stirrup]

good job

[amber iris]

[normal owl]

hahaha well they can't open it themselves so they're on point for that treat.

[rare cedar]

[smoky token]

Between beating Halo Infinite’s campaign and Fireteam Raven’s, I think the average person will spend more on Fireteam Raven

[normal owl]

I wish I could have a hamster here at the office, but I guess that's not professional or something. "So as I was saying, this irrevocable clause is just not something our client is comfortable with and, if we can't find agreement on this, our client will have to exercise the termination provision--excuse me, that's the hamster wheel squeaking."

[smoky token]

That being said it’s still less than Terminator Salvation

[copper meadow]

Man what is with this weather. It’s like 85 and I feel like I’m gonna die

[balmy tundra]

I'm one of the 7 people who actually beat terminator salvation

[silent cairn]

I wish it was December rn

I am biased but I would love a paralegal hamster

[normal owl]

Me too, it could have its little paw print on the execution page of each document.

[fossil skiff]

I remember a library had a cat who became really famous..I think it was Dewey?

[amber iris]

That machine was in the same arcade 💀

[fossil skiff]

Gosh these are old memories

[normal owl]

Great name for a library cat!

[balmy tundra]

i also have beaten time crisis 3 and the jurassic park arcade thing

I had a lot of free time as a kid

someday, i will actually play fireteam raven

[smoky token]

That machine is in every arcade

It’s probably Gearbox’s best selling product honestly

[silent cairn]

I beat Fortnite

[amber mirage]

I've seen more Fireteam Raven than Terminator cabinets at the arcades around here.

[smoky token]

They are both similar games but I prefer fireteam Raven

[silent cairn]

Same, it kind of seems like Fireteam Raven is everywhere

[smoky token]

I’ve seen by far more Terminator cabinets though

[balmy tundra]

it's older. so it has more units

[fossil skiff]

I remember playing razing storm 3 or something like that as a kid

[amber mirage]

I've beaten the first level of Fireteam Raven. Should go back and finish it someday.

I mainly go to arcades for the rhythm games, though,

[silent cairn]

Respectable

[haughty wraith]

Any 343 employees in chat? If so, why havent elites been playable in a while? It would significantly boost player counts.

[fossil skiff]

We used to go to Fuddrucker’s a lot as a kid. Got pretty good at that stacker game and almost won a DS one time

[smoky token]

Do you really think that’s true?

[balmy tundra]

god, i miss fuddruckers

haven't been in ages

[silent cairn]

I’d kill for playable Elites

[normal owl]

[fossil skiff]

They’re still there. I really need to go again.

[haughty wraith]

I 100% know that it is

[normal owl]

*assume

[smoky token]

It’s just another cosmetic, I don’t think it would do much

[amber mirage]

What if the data said significantly fewer players used Elites compared to Spartans?

[fossil skiff]

This game already has hit reg issues I really don’t want to deal with funny hit boxes yet

[smoky token]

Those darn dinosaurs

[balmy tundra]

halo infinite has enough issues right now that we shouldn't focus on that

[hasty zinc]

playable elites would probably only increase the amount of players in Covvie RP custom games

[amber mirage]

I don't think laziness comes into it.

[smoky token]

Playable elites haven’t been a thing in 11 years

[haughty wraith]

It would fs make more clan stuff, bringing more people from the massive amount of sangheili clans in reach

[smoky token]

Ah

I uh… don’t think that’s a factor for 343

[haughty wraith]

But money is aint it

[normal owl]

The population of people that are all ready & willing to dive into Infinite but juuuuust are waiting for one specific thing--Elites to be made playable--is not an amount of any significance.

[balmy tundra]

infinite has problems right now that should be focused on

[amber mirage]

Balancing was a big problem with elites

[silent cairn]

Ok why did I just get a warning for calling a million dollar company lazy

[elfin glacier]

1. how many of those clans are still active
2. how many of those players are still actually into videogames at all
3. define massive
4. :noelites:

[balmy tundra]

did you use a curse word?

[elfin glacier]

money has always been a factor for gamedev since allllll the way back in the 80s

[hasty zinc]

!modmail

[calm fiber]

For server moderation concerns, please message @bleak yoke.

[silent cairn]

No, I just said they were too lazy to implement things older games had

[elfin glacier]

hit me with a :noelites: pls

[hasty zinc]

[elfin glacier]

ahhhh, that hits the spot

[haughty wraith]

1. Alot
2. Alot
3. No idea, they banned me from the server

[smoky token]

How specific

[frail walrus]

lolol

[normal owl]

If you believe that there is a secret vast population of people all waiting to jump in at the drop of a playable-Elite hat, there are some pyramid schemes that others would be happy to sell you.

[fossil skiff]

Been a while since this popped up lol

[smoky token]

LoneElite, have you ever heard of direct selling? 😍

[haughty wraith]

And if i waved a dollar bill infront of a 343 employee they'd get on their knees and pray

[elfin glacier]

i can't believe 343i didn't add in pvp bots
or fileshare with version history
or forge with scripting
or a training mode
or a weapons range mode
or forge with scaling
or forge with texture swapping
or

smh LAZY number company

[smoky token]

Faber my beloved

[haughty wraith]

They did add that

[vapid siren]

dark pattern arcade machines

[normal owl]

are you aware that a single dollar bill is not a life-changing amount of money?

[elfin glacier]

again

the vg industry has been a business since the 1980s

[haughty wraith]

Jesus i hate the moderation bot

[elfin glacier]

small tiny indie company bungie sold out to the 'devil' (at the time, Microsoft was roiled in controversy) because they wanted the cash

[haughty wraith]

Not the person who talks through it, just the bot

[haughty wraith]

Correct

[glad flower]

VG industry had more character then tho

[elfin glacier]

nah

[silent cairn]

or a way to unlock armor for free or firefight or playable elites or being able to pick colors on your spartan

[amber mirage]

Character = crunch

[balmy tundra]

the bot needs the actual iratus as its profile pic

[elfin glacier]

'character' and 'soul' are such wishy washy nothing words honestly

[glad flower]

infinite was pretty souless so i think it applys

[molten pelican]

what

[silent cairn]

Or having actual content on launch

[elfin glacier]

usually they just amount to meaning "i was 5 and had no responsibilities or wider world knowledge so all my memories from that time are coated in 10 layers of nostalgia"

[haughty wraith]

Does anyone else think that if 343 and bungie made a halo game together it would be the ultimate halo?

[fossil skiff]

Nah

[normal owl]

Exactly. The Model T had more "character", but modern safety systems are kinda needed nowadays.

[molten pelican]

they did lol

[balmy tundra]

it was called halo reach

[molten pelican]

not today heck no

[smoky token]

Wasn’t Reach made with 343 studios?

Yeah

[elfin glacier]

you can unlock armor for free and you can pick colors

and you can actually see the colors! no more rvb overrides

[balmy tundra]

modern bungie is a mess

[left bone]

HAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH

[calm fiber]

I’m just doing my job 🥲

[molten pelican]

and reach was pretty dang fantastic

[haughty wraith]

Lemme go check the case, hold up

[molten pelican]

DO IT BETTER

[fossil skiff]

Iratus, my frenemy

[silent cairn]

You can unlock SOME armor for free. Most of it you have to pay for

[haughty wraith]

No, no it was not

[vapid siren]

ok look lemme just lay out the considerations and challenges you'd face implementing Elites in MP so we can wrap this up cause its annoyingly a common and stagnant debate

• Model, rig, and animate the elites in both third and first person for player control instead of just AI
• Customization options need to be modeled and set up as well, and combinations need to be relatively clear of clipping. this also can detract from spartan customization which is arguably more popular anyways
• from a game design standpoint all the maps may need to be tuned so that cover accomodates the larger stature of elites, which is also its own issue entirely
• the funny no neck hitbox needs to be fixed

overall its serving a niche side of the community and has a number of hurdles to actually get moving to a point that it may not be worth

[silent cairn]

And coatings are garbage

[molten pelican]

wait what

[vapid siren]

343 did the post launch stuff

[elfin glacier]

i got a pretty good selection for free 🤷

[molten pelican]

no they co developed

just looked it up

[elfin glacier]

and plus, i can play MP for free, instead of having to pay for the basegame then a monthly subscription

[normal owl]

As always, if you like the old Halo games better, you can still go play those.

[haughty wraith]

It wasnt at all developed by 343 in any way, i have the original case right here

[molten pelican]

well yeah not the whole thing ofc I meant they just worked together

[vapid siren]

"i looked at the box" isn't really the best evidence

[glad flower]

the issue is 343 never considered it. ppl are aware it wouldn't work in infinite, but the fact it seems to never be considered is goofy.

[vapid siren]

if they knew it wouldnt work then why bother considering

[glad flower]

removing features for no good reason

[haughty wraith]

Would you like a picture of the developer credits

[molten pelican]

I mean 343 just had a part in it not saying they did as much as bungie or even close

[normal owl]

but it's certified TrustMeBro tm

[silent cairn]

That’s actually a really good point ngl

[forest lagoon]

Wait, I thought when a new game came out, all others made before it ceased to exist!? You mean I've been wrong this whole time‽

[vapid siren]

you'd have to consider the option to arrive at the conclusion it wouldnt work

[frail walrus]

can you source this?

[vapid siren]

like that's literally just how logic works lol

[haughty wraith]

Lol

[normal owl]

It's madness, just letting multiple games function simultaneously.

[molten pelican]

no they disappear behind the dreaded wall of fomo

[elfin glacier]

my favorite example of this is Age of Empires 2

[fossil skiff]

Madness? This. Is. Sparta

[normal owl]

I've missed out on all the AoE games, but I heard they're excellent.

[forest lagoon]

Madness? MADNESS!?
No. We are SPARTAAANSSSS!!!!!

[molten pelican]

now I gotta watch that movie for the 3rd time

[forest lagoon]

Dangit sol...

[elfin glacier]

you have AoE2 (original, 1999), AoE2 HD (2013), and AoE2 Definitive Edition (2019)

[smoky token]

Have you ever heard of this fun little company called Paradox Interactive? It’s well known that if you buy any of their games, you can’t play any others ever again!

[leaden juniper]

i'm not willing to trade the progression systems of the past for this, but it would be demonstrably worse if i did pay and still had to get the battle pass

[amber mirage]

The only AoE game I played was Castle Siege

[fossil skiff]

Sorry ;-;

[elfin glacier]

AoE2HD actually has a decent amount of holdouts left

[silent cairn]

Don’t raid my home and drop 12 nukes on me for saying this, but I kind of prefer infinites gameplay over the others (only in multiplayer though) which is why I want all of these things that were in the older games but are missing in Infinite

[glad flower]

every halo gamer loves the battlepass!

[molten pelican]

dont apologize, Spartans dont apologize

[haughty wraith]

Its pretty good, in its own way

[leaden juniper]

we love it!!!!

[fossil skiff]

Tell that to Jorge

[forest lagoon]

People keep getting the jump on my puns, I need to stop making them long and thought out lol

[vapid siren]

the power of their dlc

[molten pelican]

and what happened to him

[balmy tundra]

i miss lootboxes

[vapid siren]

that will be 300 dollars to play the game in full

[smoky token]

They make you so broke you can’t afford any other of their games

[balmy tundra]

those were better than battlepasses

[vapid siren]

and do it again when we launch the sequel

[fossil skiff]

Went out like a boss.

[haughty wraith]

@molten pelican check dms

[molten pelican]

yessir

[smoky token]

And are such a time suck that even if you did have the money, you wouldn’t be able to play any other game

[elfin glacier]

i'll stick with AoE3DE and its like, 4 dlc xpacks

[molten pelican]

ok lol

[normal owl]

The eternal struggle of the careful craftsman vs the fast-to-market shoddy sellers.

[balmy tundra]

what even had the first battlepass

[amber mirage]

Can confirm. I own multiple Paradox games. only played Stellaris because they all take time.

[molten pelican]

salmon

[balmy tundra]

i want to blame fortnite

[silent cairn]

Salmon is delicious

[amber mirage]

Like which game invented them? I believe it was DOTA 2.

[forest lagoon]

For real though, I've been thinking of drawing a few Spartan armor designs inspired by covenant species. An Elite Core if you will

[normal owl]

Did someone say Destiny?

[balmy tundra]

damn, that sucks

[haughty wraith]

Pubg

[fossil skiff]

I’d love to see this

[silent cairn]

I kind of do blame Fortnite, don’t get the wrong idea though, I love Fortnite

[normal owl]

Would love this! Helioskrill is still on my H5 Spartan.

[haughty wraith]

I have the master chief skin in fortnite

[haughty wraith]

They fr need to add helioskrill to infinite

If not elites

[hasty zinc]

https://gfycat.com/vastfaintgalapagosdove

[silent cairn]

I love Helioskrill, it’s the best armor design in any 343 game by far

[balmy tundra]

i mean, we get a lot of lore about trade between sanghelli and humans

so like, an elite inspired core isn't out of the realm of possibility

[normal owl]

and @silent cairn

[molten pelican]

yes indeed

[normal owl]

Now, going the other way might not be as cool-looking, but I'm still open to seeing it.

[molten pelican]

everytime I see this I want to cry

[silent cairn]

Helioskrill is better than a lot of Bungie armor in my opinion, that might just be me though

[forest lagoon]

I forgot that armor was a thing
