general-chat

[forest lagoon]

As in games and things they can do to watch, be entertained, or experience history as they remembered it to feel better.

[smoky token]

Please don’t discuss the name of that server here

[normal owl]

Thank you. You didn't have to do all this: I really appreciate it. Saved this so I can dive into it. This is wonderful!

[smoky token]

Happy to help

Like I said before, I’m a big VR enthusiast, so I’m always happy to share what I know

[forest lagoon]

I've also read about elderly with certain eye issues/conditions that make their vision bad/limited irl can "see" fine in VR the way it's close to the face and uses projection.

[normal owl]

That is so rewarding: knowing what the end impact of that project will be.

[smoky token]

I’ve not heard about that, but I am aware of some companies making special made-to-order VR lenses for various headsets

[fickle drift]

the best VR u can buy atm is the Playstation VR2
super light compared to most other headsets, really good comfort that doesnt leave marks on your forehead after wearing it and its an OLED system.

[normal owl]

And with different funding programs at county and state levels, the whole cost barrier prior discussed would be alleviated partially too.

[smoky token]

Yeah but it has connectivity issues with PCVR, so it’s fairly limited, and the controllers/tracking both aren’t as good compared to the best of what PCVR has to offer

The PSVR2 is, of course, the newest headset on the market

[forest lagoon]

One guy whose Grandma had that (I can't remember what the eye problem was) but he mentioned in the forum that she always wanted to see dolphins but was sad that she knew she wouldn't be able to. He had her put on the goggles and it put her on a beach where she could watch them jump. Said she was crying with joy

[smoky token]

I’m sure everyone else will follow suit soon

[amber mirage]

My knowledge here is limited, but in the professional space I've seen a lot of people opting for HTC or Varjo headsets. No clue about how they compare, just that they tend to cater to the high-end market.

[smoky token]

That’s so sweet

[normal owl]

This is an area that will stump me due my lack of tech knowledge: which models would be best for the widest range of factors found in the average scenario of usage at an assisted living facility. Repeated use by different people, onboarding and familiarly with controls, being dropped, being administered by various staff of various tech fluency levels, etc.

[forest lagoon]

Oculus was headed in that direction as well but Meta kind of killed that

[smoky token]

Varjo has by far the highest pixel density, tracking, are the lightest, and myriad other benefits. HTC is attempting to compete in that market by offering less for less

Varjo generally likes to cater to the US Department of Defense and similar organizations, while HTC tends to sell their stuff to hospitals, automotive shops/schools, and fire stations

[normal owl]

That is so moving, holy crap.

[forest lagoon]

Meant to reply to this

[smoky token]

By far, the Quest 2

[normal owl]

Nice, that's the one I'll keep in mind as I look into it!

[smoky token]

Stand-alone, no wires required (except for charging), high pixel density and FOV while also having pretty good tracking, and has a wide array of apps available to it

Also cheap at only about $300 per unit ($360 or so with the more comfortable “elite strap”)

[normal owl]

And widely known, so plenty of resources out there to troubleshoot, etc.

[smoky token]

Yep!

And by “widely known”, Facebook threw half their net worth at marketing and developing it

I mean that literally

[copper meadow]

I already blew 500 on an Xbox, 300 on a switch and god knows how much on games. I’m never buying another console 💀

[normal owl]

Yes this is exactly what I'm thinking about: something that the director of a facility can get excited for as a concept, then pass to an admin and say "implement this please" and the person in whose lap it lands is able to fully set up and teach other staff how to do it.

[forest lagoon]

It also has the ability to connect to your PC and run more power things from the PC and steam

[smoky token]

^do note that this compatibility is limited, but it does exist

[normal owl]

But it can do a core suite of things on its own without a PC right?

[copper meadow]

Is a VR headset worth getting if you already have a different console?

[smoky token]

Yeah, that’s what it was made for

[forest lagoon]

With airplay or the link cable I've been able to treat it as a rift

[hardy nymph]

My lil brother used his for HLA and can confirm it worked great

[normal owl]

Awesome

[forest lagoon]

Airplay drains the battery quick though

[smoky token]

If you are just doing gaming, it should work fine for short sessions

Most of the things an elderly person is going to do with a VR headset aren’t going to need a PC

But I’d say it’s probably good to have a half decent one lying around on the off chance that grandma does hear about Half Life Alyx and wants to give it a try

[hardy nymph]

My great uncle plays Among Us to ‘keep his mind sharp’. I’d love to see him get a headset and try Among Us VR. xD

[forest lagoon]

Or your Grandma is feisty and wants to troll in VRchat

[amber mirage]

We all know grandma's gonna be playing Beat Saber

[forest lagoon]

Honestly, it's terrifying in VR.

[hardy nymph]

Hardcore dubstep on the highest difficulty

[smoky token]

Yeah, that’s one of my main arguments for older people getting a VR headset! It’s great for keeping your mind sharp and keeping yourself lucid

[normal owl]

It would also give seniors a possible way to entice their families to visit more: kid doesn't have their own VR headset but loves going to see Grandma to use hers.

[copper meadow]

I’ve seen so many videos of grown men terrorizing children playing among us vr and it’s hilarious

That or them yelling at their parents for letting them play when they’re way too young

[smoky token]

@normal owl you can also “cast” video from a Quest to any PC or laptop browser, which effectively displays the screen from the headset onto the computer screen wirelessly

[forest lagoon]

I played amongus vr when it was a VRchat world and not an official game. That was hilarious!

[smoky token]

Jar’s world?

[forest lagoon]

Aye

[smoky token]

That was fun

I preferred Murder 4

[forest lagoon]

Which one was the ship island murder version?

[normal owl]

That would be wonderful for a family to see as the grandparent is experiencing that dolphin moment for the first time or that reminiscence.

[hasty zinc]

I do enjoy Hummy's VR Comedy

[hardy nymph]

Yeah, he’s better than I am at the game which is awesome. Granted I very rarely play Among Us but still, it’s awesome to see someone in his early 70s who’s really good at a game like that!

[smoky token]

Orang

[forest lagoon]

That was the only one I could ever seem to win. The other murder parties were so big I'd get lost

[normal owl]

Murder mystery parties are a great way to kill time...

[obsidian wyvern]

my roblox addiction 10 years ago was fueled by murder mystery games

[smoky token]

Heh, getting all the old people into a single VRChat Murder lobby would be kinda fun to see

[hardy nymph]

OMG SAME!

[smoky token]

Congratulations, most of those roblox games have VR compatibility now

[obsidian wyvern]

i cant stand vr

or roblox anymore

[amber mirage]

Was this back when Roblox still had blocky models? I stopped playing I think around the time they did the more rounded models.

[obsidian wyvern]

yep lol

[hasty zinc]

did anyone else play Murder Miners?

[smoky token]

Didn’t roblox only add bones and bone deform to their engine a couple months ago?

[obsidian wyvern]

no thats been there for years

i dont think roblox ragdolls can be beaten though

[amber mirage]

They've got ragdolls now?

[obsidian wyvern]

i mean in general

[normal owl]

Wow, from Roblox to Robods.

[amber mirage]

I remember when they just sort of exploded and slid everywhere

[obsidian wyvern]

roblox games have amazing ragdolls, and thats been there for years too

[smoky token]

Have had them for a while I think, but it was all just tethering skinned meshes together

[copper meadow]

I don’t get they hype around it. I maybe downloaded it once years ago and never was interested in it

[obsidian wyvern]

its full of dumb fun tbf

but its mostly targeted at kids so it would make sense if you dont enjoy it

[floral pollen]

Off topic question, how does one do the flip with a Banshee on PC in Infinite? I could prolly figure it out, but I also dunno how

[amber mirage]

Try the jump button

[floral pollen]

Ah, will do

[amber mirage]

Just a heads up, I don't actually know if that works.

[normal owl]

If it doesn't work, at least you know River won't flip.

[hasty zinc]

yeah it's spacebar plus direction

[copper meadow]

Don’t you just hold the enter vehicle button? Or is that controller only

[obsidian wyvern]

thats to exit

[copper meadow]

I swear every vehicle I flip I hold “x”

[floral pollen]

I've just seen ppl do flips in it before, and have never known how to do it

[amber mirage]

Not that flip. The one you do while you're inside the Banshee

[smoky token]

By flips they mean banshee tricks

[copper meadow]

Ohh

[floral pollen]

Yea, the tricks thing, but it does a midair flip in the Banshee

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL that was the easiest boss fight yet, thought itd take me forever

idek where he disappeared

[floral pollen]

Mans just noped

[amber mirage]

Looks like the explosion sent him flying in the room to the right

[obsidian wyvern]

also should i have got the tank gun

im just running with rockets and a sword

[amber mirage]

You don't need it. It does make it easier though.

[obsidian wyvern]

and sizzle sticks

[amber mirage]

I managed to one-shot Escharum with it.

[obsidian wyvern]

ok now thats tempting

[amber mirage]

You have to do it before he can start shielding, but it is pretty funny if you pull it off.

[obsidian wyvern]

does it replace your weapon or does it act like the machine gun

[amber mirage]

Replaces it

[obsidian wyvern]

ok gonna have to get that after this mission

[smoky token]

You can’t

[obsidian wyvern]

poiuytrdfghyjui

[smoky token]

Only while you are clearing out Tremonious

[obsidian wyvern]

not even if i replay it?

[smoky token]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[amber mirage]

Worth a shot

[obsidian wyvern]

ill run through it on easy just to check

i spent an extra 20 something minutes on that mission because i lost a brute

[hasty zinc]

Ted Lasso is such a good show

[obsidian wyvern]

is that the one on apple tv

[amber mirage]

Yeah

[hasty zinc]

yeah

I'm glad I gave it a chance, normally not my type of TV show.. sports stuff anyway

[obsidian wyvern]

my friend always recommends it, but hes obsessed with football so im not sure if id enjoy it as much

[hasty zinc]

I don't like soccer and I love the show

[amber mirage]

I've heard good things. Hopefully, next week I'll have the free time to pick back up on watching shows.

[hasty zinc]

I'm all caught up on shows except Picard, which I'm now watching

[obsidian wyvern]

you watching mando, aegis?

[hasty zinc]

of course

finale today

[normal owl]

I've wanted to watch it but I don't have Apple TV yet. I did very much enjoy Hulu's Welcome to Wrexham though!

[obsidian wyvern]

yea, it was pretty good

[hasty zinc]

good, excited to watch it with the wife tonight

I've been staying off tiktok because spoilers

[obsidian wyvern]

hopefully you dont get spoiled by then

[hasty zinc]

yeah I'm just sticking to streaming stuff today

[obsidian wyvern]

i think this has also been suggested to me

[amber mirage]

Do you have Game Pass Ultimate? They were giving out three months of AppleTV+ up until the end of last month.

[obsidian wyvern]

ooh

i might have the code for that still

[normal owl]

oh my gosh for real? How did I miss that.

[amber mirage]

RIP

[obsidian wyvern]

i couldnt redeem it because it was u.s only for some reason, if i can find it, you can take it

[upbeat zodiac]

Hope you're all having a wonderful day today!

[obsidian wyvern]

😐 so it saved music but not tv

[normal owl]

It is excellent. It really makes you feel for the people, which feeds the matches' outcomes with more significance. I loved The Last Dance and stories like that.

[hasty zinc]

music is still an active perk

[amber mirage]

Make sure to grab Peacock Premium Plus before 6/30

[normal owl]

Thank you, I will! Mine is expiring in Aug I believe, so I'll kill it early.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah i havent got that code saved anywhere, and if it was in a link, im sure its gone because i cleared my browser history recently

[hasty zinc]

I def grabbed that 99c/mo peacock deal

[amber mirage]

And kind of related, I know you're always looking for good film recs, Rev. This got brought up today at work https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/greatest-films-all-time
Pretty good list.

[obsidian wyvern]

thanks, i was gonna ask again tonight lol

[amber mirage]

How serendipitous

[obsidian wyvern]

also, if you havent watched it already, would recommend tetris on apple tv aegis

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's on my list after picard

[normal owl]

Be sure to block off time for that.

[hasty zinc]

yeah I'll clear out a whole row of time

[amber mirage]

Might be tough to fit it into your schedule

[hasty zinc]

so sad Tetris Effect is leaving gamepass 😦

[obsidian wyvern]

wait, taxi driver isnt black and white?

[amber mirage]

Yeah. Gotta pick that up when it's on sale

And no. It's color.

[hasty zinc]

you get a GP discount too

[obsidian wyvern]

ive been skipping on that for almost a year now because i thought it was all black and white

[amber mirage]

But I want more discount

[hasty zinc]

are you talking to me?

[obsidian wyvern]

it was more of a general statement

[hasty zinc]

lol

[amber mirage]

It's a reference you'll understand when you watch it

[obsidian wyvern]

i didnt know he did songs

[amber mirage]

Neither did I

[obsidian wyvern]

guess ill watch that tonight

[amber mirage]

It's certifiably good. Watched that for my American Cinema class.

Fun class. We watched a movie every week.

[obsidian wyvern]

that sounds amazing lol

saying you picked good films

[normal owl]

@obsidian wyvern Have you seen the classic House of Flying Daggers?

[amber mirage]

Found my syllabus

[hasty zinc]

Have you ever seen Kung Pow: Enter the Fist?

[obsidian wyvern]

looking through pictures, i dont think i have

[amber mirage]

I want to watch it

[obsidian wyvern]

why is this a thing

[normal owl]

So, House of Flying Daggers is arguably the most famous film by that director. But another one, Hero, is my favorite by him. The way it does its plot is easy to follow but very interesting. I very highly recommend Hero (starring Jet Li).

[amber mirage]

Back when I worked a student job one of my coworkers brought that up. We ended up just watching the trailer for that and a few other things since it was a slow summer day.

[hasty zinc]

it's a cinematic masterpiece

[obsidian wyvern]

i may have watched hero

[normal owl]

The one where the different scenes are themed by different colors?

[amber mirage]

Speaking of cinematic masterpieces, Black Dynamite is a good one.

[obsidian wyvern]

im not sure

this would be one of the films i watched with my dad when i was younger

[hasty zinc]

and Mars is also.....

[normal owl]

You might enjoy watching Hero with grown-up eyes. It's assembled so well as a story.

[obsidian wyvern]

i keep making a watchlist and then i somehow lose it

[hasty zinc]

upload it to the cloud

[round laurel]

Use IMDB

[obsidian wyvern]

iive got a few things on imdb too, keep forgetting to update that lol

[round laurel]

IMDB is great for keeping track of stuff. I currently have 242 things on my watchlist and 643 ratings. It's like my second brain for everything games, movies and tv.

[obsidian wyvern]

only got these 3 rn on there

[round laurel]

Well.

That's an excellent list lol

[obsidian wyvern]

off the top of my head, ive got dont look up and everything everywhere all at once to add

[hasty zinc]

man I had a perfect reference/joke for the start of your sentence about your list

[obsidian wyvern]

(say it?)

[hasty zinc]

nah

#spoilers

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

[amber mirage]

I should probably use IMDB to track stuff I've watched. Right now I use a OneNote notebook to track everything I watch/read/play in a year. Good for keeping track of dates but not the most searchable.

[obsidian wyvern]

||?||

[hasty zinc]

remember this conversation when you finish those 3 movies

[fickle drift]

Great movies!

[obsidian wyvern]

i was uploading everything to imdb + my ratings for reference and then i just got lazy

[round laurel]

I mean, if it works for you, no reason to change the method. IMDb tends to not have smaller indie games on it, so unfortunately that's a downside.

[amber mirage]

I'd probably do a conjunction of things. Using IMDB for movies at least would be easier to share.

I like OneNote for keeping track of things though.

[obsidian wyvern]

ive never understood the hype around fight club and american psycho though, found them pretty boring

[hasty zinc]

don't get me wrong, I love Picard but it's more like a giant movie that's been broken up over a season rather than traditional Star Trek

[normal owl]

Agreed. A lot of films are culturally cool to like, despite the fact they are not as hallowed as fans say they are.

[amber mirage]

The cult classics

Or more harshly, B-movies

[round laurel]

I found American Psycho an entertaining watch, but yeah, lots of movies that are considered classics aren't always the best modern watch. For instance, 2001: A Space Odyssey is probably one of the most boring movies of all time, but of course, it is a monumental movie in terms of what it brought to cinema at the time.

[obsidian wyvern]

i think ill avoid that now lol

the name put me off initially ngl

[amber mirage]

It is super slow

[obsidian wyvern]

odyssey sounds super slow

[obsidian wyvern]

reminds me of this lol https://twitter.com/SaeedDiCaprio/status/1646359452428189697

They forgot Snatch.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah, gotta add blade runner to my list too

[amber mirage]

I've seen 2/7

[obsidian wyvern]

ive seen 3.5, i got bored of joker pretty quickly, never finished it

[amber mirage]

I liked Joker. It wasn't amazing, but it was pretty good.

[obsidian wyvern]

might be worth revisiting later

ive yet to watch the new batman lol

[amber mirage]

I actually walked by the the location they were filming one day

[pearl laurel]

They’re making a second movie

[obsidian wyvern]

thats awesome

[obsidian wyvern]

isnt it a musical lol

[amber mirage]

I didn't actually get to see anything

Just the trailers they had parked

[pearl laurel]

Musical sucks

[obsidian wyvern]

:/
i guess its still cool saying you were there in some way

[amber mirage]

Yeah. Wasn't expecting anything and it was just there on my way home.

[obsidian wyvern]

i still cant find attorney in transformers 4

[normal owl]

I need to sit down and go through it frame by frame. Both the factory scene where he comes alive and the running away from the exploding factory complex are both scenes I was an extra in.

[obsidian wyvern]

do you roughly remember what you were doing when he came alive before running away

[normal owl]

The other movie, of which I am now ashamed, is Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. Funeral scene my head was cut off but my body is there near the crying Asian girl.

[normal owl]

There were a lot of instructions to react "omg!" and panickedly run away in reaction to an imaginary Transformer coming alive.

[amber mirage]

Can't believe Superman and/or Batman decapitated you

[normal owl]

I should be somewhere around the flatbed or at the various equipment around it.

[normal owl]

I messed up. That crying girl had been rather forward to me earlier and had been wanting us to stand together for shots, which made me uncomfortable. So I declined to stand next to her for that shot, and that's the shot that made it in.

[amber mirage]

So she cut off your head

Tragic

[obsidian wyvern]

i may have spotted you but its a bit hard since im running off a barely 720p video on youtube rn lol

[normal owl]

Exactly

[normal owl]

Let me know where so I can try at home too!

[obsidian wyvern]

near a ladder i think

[normal owl]

That's a step in the right direction.

[verbal crescent]

What's it mean when there's a problem with the dedicated server?

[fickle drift]

Is that the desync issue that I have heard about?

[normal owl]

It means a different waiter/waitress may be assigned to your table for the remainder of your meal.

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly idk lol

[verbal crescent]

Violence.

[obsidian wyvern]

im somewhat going off the chevrolet picture and your pyramid picture but i cant tell

[normal owl]

I was one of the workers, not the security personnel. I can't remember if I was white or blue, hat or no hat though.

[obsidian wyvern]

nono i meant on the left

[normal owl]

ohhh let me look again

[obsidian wyvern]

but even then, i doubt im right. its too pixelated

[normal owl]

I should have written down exactly what I was doing in each shot. It's been years and now I don't remember what my placement and routes were.

I do remember that Michael Bay was wearing all white.

[obsidian wyvern]

he was in scenes too?

[normal owl]

No, he was directing us that day.

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

[deep flare]

Halo's theme song sounds so similar to the Gregorian chant "Victimae paschali laudes" in regards of the melody.

[normal owl]

known issue

If we had a dime for every VPL comment...

[amber mirage]

I'd have one

[normal owl]

That just makes cents.

[hasty zinc]

Did you know that Gregorian monks got their name from the leader of monks that originally inhabited the monestary in the 9th century? His name was Gregory and all the disciples in dedication to him decided to call themselves Gregorian. Also as a side note I made this all up

[amber mirage]

Good ol' Greg

[vapid spindle]

[normal owl]

I was going to say. Where are the Hot vs Cold options?

[molten pelican]

@viral dune

[hasty zinc]

I bet you all the squeezed juice gets dumped into a container below the machine and it just dispenses tropicana

then they charge you $7 for tropicana

[amber mirage]

Tropicana dispensers are elaborate then

Fool you into believing you're getting a fresh squeezed beverage

[carmine sun]

Why isn't there a permanent social slayer playlist that has nothing but Team Escalation and Ninja Slayer yet?

[amber mirage]

Going back to the VR chat from earlier, this is unfortunate https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ready-at-dawn-and-downpour-interactive-impacted-by-meta-layoffs

[smoky token]

The VR… chat

VR Chat

VRChat

My favorite video game

[vernal swan]

I have fallen in love with Halo all over again

[amber mirage]

Twas intentional

[normal owl]

That was fun chatting with each other in VR.

[smoky token]

I know two people with 10 thousand hours in this game

[carmine sun]

Halo Infinite could be SO popular rn, if they didn't feel the need to try and force everyone to play all of the game modes...

[smoky token]

💀

[smoky token]

They… don’t

But ok

[carmine sun]

I just want to play Ninja Slayer and/or Team Escalation, but that's not possible unless 343 feels like throwing us a bone for a week or so

[normal owl]

Dang that's rough. I thought I recognized Ready at Dawn's name: The Order 1886.

[vernal swan]

Do alot of people stay play the MCC?

[smoky token]

Yep

[amber mirage]

If those two modes got their own playlist, it wouldn't have very many players to sustain it.

[carmine sun]

I highly doubt that, but perhaps you are right

Also, wtf ever happened to 2v2v2v2???

[hasty zinc]

Multi-Team?

[carmine sun]

Yeah

It's not even in MCC iirc

[amber mirage]

Halo struggles to keep people playing a lot of playlists. It's why FFA and Doubles and a whole lot of other playlists are rotational.

[hasty zinc]

I wish you could use custom game browser to complete challenges

[carmine sun]

Or at least let use have matchmaking to use with the custom modes/maps, but probably a tougher challenge than I think it is... ugh, this game has so much untapped potential, imo

[vernal swan]

Do you guys play more Infinite or MCC?

[floral pollen]

I only have Infinite myself

[vernal swan]

Im on Infinite right now, going to pick up MCC as well

[floral pollen]

I wanna get the MCC someday, but can't get it yet

[round laurel]

Infinite.

I only like playing Halo 3 online, and even then the gameplay has (obviously) aged quite a bit. I prefer the pace of Infinite.

[carmine sun]

Is it really confirmed that its' a funding/server issue when it comes to the playlist rotations? That just seems crazy, is 343 a small studio??

[vernal swan]

That is fair

[round laurel]

Now if Halo 5 was on PC I'd play that over Infinite, but alas.

[amber mirage]

Playlist rotations aren't a funding thing. They're a player population thing.

[carmine sun]

I guess I just don't understand why a playlist can't exist, even if it has relatively low amount of players... I feel like something like Ninja Slayer would have a high count, it's always insanely fast finding a match when it's in the rotation, but maybe I'm wrong

[dreamy stirrup]

it would have a good amount for the first like 4 days to a week

but after that players go back to the core lists.

[hasty zinc]

RIP LSS 😦

[languid wigeon]

It really is a shame there is no halo 5 on pc

[floral pollen]

I still haven't played Social Skirmish yet

[frail walrus]

This. Really would love to see it be a rotational playlist.

[amber mirage]

RIP permanent FFA and Doubles and their ranked counterparts.

[languid wigeon]

the mp for that game looks really fun

[carmine sun]

but how does that hurt 343? It would just give people more variety, the only downside seems like it would be potentially longer wait times...

[round laurel]

It was. The best Halo MP ever.

[frail walrus]

If ranked snipers can be rotational, then I would think LSS could be too

[hasty zinc]

did you prefer launch LSS or updated LSS?

[floral pollen]

And I still need to place in Ranked Snipers

[dreamy stirrup]

because having 9823423 playlists fractures population

[frail walrus]

Definitely launch

[dreamy stirrup]

and then despite players saying "we are okay with waiting a long time!" they aren't okay with waiting a long time

[languid wigeon]

long wait times are not worth it.

[frail walrus]

I could maybe see the increased player score in picking up an enemy AI in the launch version

maybe

[carmine sun]

True, but no one is asking for that, you don't think Ninja Slayer would be a notable exception that not only is the most fast paced mode in the game, but also shows off one of their new features they bragged about when the campaign dropped!? I guess maybe the rotation system is best, but I just have some doubts about that...

[elfin glacier]

This applies to many things tbh

[dreamy stirrup]

but....you literally just asked for it?

[carmine sun]

one mode

not 9823423

or at least just a permanent social slayer playlist... I know that's asking a lot tho

[dreamy stirrup]

but if we add Ninja Slayer, then we have to add everything

we can't add what one person likes

[round laurel]

Would a match composer similar to MCC's system allow a wider breadth of playlists, at least theoretically? So if you selected FFA as one of your options, but it was low pop, you wouldn't waiting ages as you could get another option.

[carmine sun]

Fair enough I guess, maybe the community hates ninja slayer

[dreamy stirrup]

that's not what i said.

but okay.

[carmine sun]

Maybe not enough of the community enjoys ninja slayer*

I doubt both tho

[hasty zinc]

I'd never play it tbh

[amber mirage]

An exclusively ninja slayer playlist would also be too niche for me

[normal owl]

If we're adding modes willy nilly, could we get a Philosophy Group mode where we have prox chat and our spartans sit at virtual tea and discuss philosophical topics in a thoughtful and open-minded manner?

[carmine sun]

Does 343 ever share numbers on how well a playlist does in terms of player count, or does anyone gather that info? Would be interesting

[dreamy stirrup]

[elfin glacier]

Exclusive infection playlist

[round laurel]

Yeah I get tired of those goofy modes quickly. They should all be within their own... eh... action sack type playlist or have a low selection chance.

[smoky token]

What is ninja slayer exactly?

I don’t believe I’m familiar

[round laurel]

energy swords and grapples i think

[carmine sun]

Energy Swords and grapple hooks

[smoky token]

Oh

[hasty zinc]

spartans dressed up as ninjas with camo and play hide and seek

[elfin glacier]

Ngl when people say "voice chat/prox chat was the best thing about halo" i'm like

But what about the gameplay

[normal owl]

Predator FFA: active camo, sword, ravager.

[amber mirage]

Socratic Circle playlist

[normal owl]

Excellent. I'm in.

[hasty zinc]

Spill the Socratic Tea

[young nexus]

Good morning!

Im feeling cherry today. Might play some halo infinite

[normal owl]

It must be such a breath of fresh air for Sam to see that there are people in their right minds like us coming up with great content.

[amber mirage]

Also, I think there's enough goofy modes now that a permanent Action Sack playlist could work.

[hasty zinc]

official Halo Fashion show gamemode when?

[normal owl]

You would start at the top of the rankings already.

[hasty zinc]

3 people are randomly chosen as judges and teleported to a desk with numbers on it that they melee to enter their score

[forest lagoon]

Wartime Barbie Spartan Dressup when?

[young nexus]

Halo Balenziaga

[fossil skiff]

I should put a mark 7 helmet on this cat

[dreamy stirrup]

please

[elfin glacier]

Uhm, sweaty? Didn't you know that showing off your cosmetics is LITERARY gaslighting and Fomo?????

[dreamy stirrup]

then give me

i will make it a server emoji

[languid wigeon]

Just like in real fashion you have to be rich to compete!

[forest lagoon]

And then I'll make it petpet

[fossil skiff]

Sweet! I’ll try to have it done by tomorrow. I’m crunching a report tonight

[hasty zinc]

Emoji > school tbh

[normal owl]

So the report is potato chips.

[dreamy stirrup]

i am also working on papers. writing a proposal

[young nexus]

I do feel like the content is a bit leaning to the shop department

[fossil skiff]

Sounds fun >_> I’m still not confident about this presentation Friday

[forest lagoon]

Hope they say yes

[normal owl]

So happy for you! I know they'll say yes. Wishing you a happy life together!

[normal owl]

Great minds think alike.

[young nexus]

Great content comes from great idea’s

[forest lagoon]

We are pretty great aren't we

[languid wigeon]

fashion is an important part of halo and locking it behind microtransactions is akin to locking the needler behind microtransactions.

[hasty zinc]

if you like it then you should have put a on it

[fossil skiff]

Okay Mechatronics test in 25 minutes. Cowabunga it is

[elfin glacier]

That's probably less due to actual work allocation (which we will never know) and more cuz it rotates weekly

It's not like they make the cosmetics weekly, they're mostly all in already, just waiting for their rotation

[elfin glacier]

I hope this is sarcasm

[hasty zinc]

no actual Halo ring emoji in official Halo server

[languid wigeon]

nope! I have very fond memories of playing dressup in reach

its part of the halo gameplay.

[normal owl]

Haha for real?

[elfin glacier]

343 HATES halo confirmed !!!!!

[young nexus]

Too few options in the shop at any given time. It makes me look at it once at the faint hope of a free item then leave after scanning some numbers.

[hasty zinc]

jacob keyes died for nothing

[young nexus]

I wouldn’t go that far

[normal owl]

wwwwwhat's up guys!

[elfin glacier]

Generic halotuber here, today lets dive into the FACTEVIDENCE that number company (satanic) hates halo!

[young nexus]

There are better ways of articulating distain than that. Just be honest and don’t let the hate block your reasoning.

[faint mantle]

Two Betrayals happened for nothing.

Halos are hardwired to never fire without the Index, so there was no point on damaging the pulse generators and going through the ENTIRE CONTROL ROOM ZONE.

[normal owl]

And so you never miss a new video, smash that subscribe button.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh no

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/good-evil-star-wars-emporer-palpatine-darkside-gif-4624104

[elfin glacier]

And ringaling the bell and leave a comment and updote and share on Facebook, twitter, Instagram, digg, Usenet, Gamesurge IRC, and Reddit

[young nexus]

Like this. I don’t like having to roll the dice and hoping to get the gametype I want to play every time i want to jump in. I want to be able to choose what to play. The current system needs a lot of work or a complete rework.

That’s a good example of constructive criticism

[languid wigeon]

I thought halo infinity has a server browser?

[young nexus]

Though im not familiar with the working conditions in the company… I have some thoughts about that but I’m not going to discuss it here.

[elfin glacier]

It's under the community tab

[languid wigeon]

yeah use that if you are insisting on exactly one gamemode.

[round laurel]

You can't progress challenges.

[elfin glacier]

I do have issues with the game but i'm writing em in longform in a document

[amber mirage]

If you're playing Ninja Slayer exclusively, are you really looking to progress challenges?

[young nexus]

Perfect

[normal owl]

Well I've got a hot take disguised as constructive criticism: these squirrels need to realize what a bounty all of these free peanuts are and come eat them.

[young nexus]

👀

[normal owl]

Squirrel Watch (day 2): No change from yesterday.

[languid wigeon]

this is clearly three hundred and fourty three industries' fault

[young nexus]

I think the biggest thing that’s apparent is that there is a lot of criticism towards halo infinite. Visible or not. I do think appropriate discussion of those criticisms would be of benefit. But there is also a clear-cut expectation that has not been met and that is a bit more of a can of worms in of itself.

If you want to have a more in-depth discussion about woes or triumphs of the game, I think there are dedicated channels for those. (At least i hope so i got to check)

[austere obsidian]

Oooh

[amber mirage]

Squatch

[young nexus]

Ngl a bit ambitious

If you really want to attract squirrels, get them closer towards the foliage over there

If they know that there’s peanuts in the area, they might look around a bit more

[normal owl]

I actually was thinking I needed to extend a trail towards a tree I always see them on.

[young nexus]

Bingo

Gotta be careful of roads though

[normal owl]

I was perhaps a bit ambitious. In my head it was:

1. Sprinkle peanuts on windowsill.
2. ???
3. Disney-esque situation where every time I look out my office window, there are squirrels. I start to see the same ones again and again and notice their distinct characteristics. So I nickname them. Then after a while, I see one when walking to my car. It kind of recognizes me. A long buildup to a great friendship begins.

[young nexus]

That’s world war crow energy right there

They’re wild animals 😞

I don’t know if the area in front of the window would be suitable for squirrels to hang out.

It might

[fickle drift]

dont use peanuts. Use walnuts. more oils and fats and thus more attractive for squirrels

[young nexus]

Man spittin facts up in here

[fickle drift]

hamsters will eat peanuts but squirrels prefer larger nuts

[normal owl]

Dang, I did not know that before buying a huge bag of peanuts that I now have to go through.

[fickle drift]

you can set up little piles of them too

[young nexus]

Crows also like peanuts 👀

[hasty zinc]

set up a little club scene with walnuts as the patrons with music and lights so they'll be tempted to go in and get caught

put a trail camera in the box so you can catch them lounging

[fickle drift]

every day a bit closer to the window to train them to come to you. directly setting them up on the window sill is probably a little bold.

[young nexus]

If they have good escape routes, that might make them feel more comfortable as well

[hasty zinc]

use hamster tubes as escape vessels

[young nexus]

Also, inspiration comes from anywhere Man

[normal owl]

Club Oontz is pivoting towards the squirrel demographic.

[normal owl]

That's a really sound point that I didn't think of before.

[obsidian wyvern]

do dynamo grenades work on hunters

[young nexus]

I bring that up because there’s a large space from the brush to the window

And the best thing is very low, trimmed shrubbery, and a tree that doesn’t lead to other trees

Meaning if it were to climb that it might be stuck on that tree until the predator leaves

[fickle drift]

put some money in GoogleAdSense and advertise hot Squirrel Ladys in the area waiting for the bushiest tail

[young nexus]

Doesn’t work

Tried that already, advertising doesn’t work with them

[hasty zinc]

Gramps is a Squirrel Savant

[fickle drift]

too smart to fall for that trick? cmon even humans fall for it

[young nexus]

Because they’re human

😐

[normal owl]

This is all very good info: makes a lot of sense. Maybe I'll start by leaning a branch against the windowsill from the ground.

[fickle drift]

plant a tree in front of the window and wait 25 years

[young nexus]

That’s a good start, but is there another place that’s closer to the wilderness that has a window facing towards it?

[normal owl]

This is the way.

[young nexus]

some locations are just not optimal. It’s better to choose a different location and set up from there.

Clearly

[fickle drift]

Unfortunately my office is where it is and that wall is all windows, so it's all the same landscaping.

[young nexus]

😞

I’m afraid it’s an uphill battle, my friend

[normal owl]

I do sincerely appreciate the Squirrel Intel.

[young nexus]

It’s not exactly squirrel Intel, more so than just critical thinking

But I appreciate the gesture

🍻

[normal owl]

Looks like I'll be leaning more heavily on step # 2 to reconcile these issues than I foresaw.

[young nexus]

Yep

[hasty zinc]

this is precisely the the type of gifs that I don't get. It doesn't need to be a gif. Making it a gif adds nothing since you can't even see him say that

[normal owl]

Aegis = Gif Judge

[young nexus]

mfw I have more information to tell, but it would be inappropriate to starts spewing it because it would be information overload

🫠

[normal owl]

In time, my friend, in time.

[hasty zinc]

let's uhh.. keep it family friendly

[young nexus]

Stg if you commission a little squirrel village by the tree with nuts and houses the squirrels can actually enter. 1 excessive 2 impressive 3 probably not gonna work 4 pretty neat idea though xd

@normal owl

you need one

[young nexus]

You can move it around maybe once a week 👀

[normal owl]

oh
my
gosh
That is too cute. Ihave to get it.

[dreamy stirrup]

there's different versions

[young nexus]

(Howells, moving castle gif here)

[dreamy stirrup]

i just searched squirrel picnic table

[hasty zinc]

I looked up something similar and saw a squirrel sitting at a picnic table with booze and peanuts

[young nexus]

There is this one YouTuber that made obstacle courses for squirrels

[hasty zinc]

yeah I watch that sometimes

[normal owl]

I added the white & blue version to cart. Hopefully it blends in more than the red out of sight of the staff.

[young nexus]

His name is Mark Rober

[hasty zinc]

aka the glitter bomb guy

[dreamy stirrup]

i would get one here but the dogs chase squirrels too much

would be very unfair lol

[normal owl]

This is so freaking great.

[young nexus]

there are bunnies in my neighborhood

[normal owl]

It's going to be as magical as I imagined.

[young nexus]

😩

I went to get shoes today but ended up not buying any

[pliant hatch]

lots of rabbits in mine. Usuallly I'll have a couple in my yard

[dreamy stirrup]

we have foxes

so many foxes

the local subreddit actually had to put a moratorium on fox sighting posts

[young nexus]

Coyotes. One of them got the neighborhood cat sadly. 😔

[pliant hatch]

oddly, we don't have any squirrels

[dreamy stirrup]

dumas sees squirrels in the trees in surrounding yards and goes bonkers

[normal owl]

That sounds beautiful!

[hasty zinc]

if you don't have a whole squirrel town built within the next year I will be disappointed

[young nexus]

Same

😂

[normal owl]

Well I'll start with that picnic table. There's a tree right outside my window that I think will conceal it from grounds staff if I leave off the umbrella.

[pliant hatch]

glad we don't have predators like that or would be worried for all the little pets.

[hasty zinc]

hawks are everywhere though

[dreamy stirrup]

sounds beautiful until they just cruise through your front yard like they own the place.

or sit in the street and just talk all night

they are brazen.

[young nexus]

Wish that were the same for me but man the rabbits would get out of control

[normal owl]

Well it's hard not to respect their gumption lol

[pliant hatch]

I think we do have some ferral cats cause had a couple dead rabbits before that were torn up.

[normal owl]

That's sad.

[young nexus]

Several neighborhood cats for me were got by coyotes

Including Jimbay, he was the big, fluffy neighborhood cat that would sit on the corner

Such a sweatheart

[normal owl]

The talkers near me are mourning doves, huge choruses of frogs, and the elusive creature known as the insecure young adult who thinks the road near me is a place to show how awesome they are by racing real fast.

https://old.reddit.com/r/stupiddovenests/

[young nexus]

I have a question, does staff mean staff on discord? Or related to irl “somehow works for halo {other}”

🤔

[dreamy stirrup]

the staff category are just our server mods/admins 🙂

[young nexus]

That’s good to know

Thank you 🙏

[dreamy stirrup]

you bet

[pliant hatch]

at work, we have resident pigeons and a big hawk that flies around. I think he'll get one one of these days, lol.

[near tree]

I take it you live outside of town?

[normal owl]

A relatively populated suburb of Detroit actually. It's just that, in Michigan, you are never more than 5 miles away from a body of water. So there are lots of aquatic creatures around.

[near tree]

Oh cool

[normal owl]

That dove nest subreddit makes me both laugh and feel bad for those doves who are just out there trying to live lol.

[near tree]

Do you have any ponds in your neighborhood, or do they just hop by anyway?

[normal owl]

There are ponds all over the place, and in spring/summer, frogs sing en masse. It's kind of a cool vibe on a quiet night actually.

[young nexus]

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I love the weather here

My favorite weather is when the sun is shining, but it’s a very faint drizzle rain ☺️

[normal owl]

That is dazzling when the sun shines brightly through the rain.

[young nexus]

other than how depressing the sky can be, it can be very beautiful here

[young nexus]

Yes exactly, it’s where you can see the absolutely tiny rain droplets flurrying through the air

A gentle breeze, cool mist, and freshly unveiled sun after rain

[normal owl]

Even though it's a natural thing, it's cool to feel like these two meteorological events are happening simultaneously that shouldn't be happening together.

[young nexus]

It’s a shame that only last for a few minutes at most

But it is possible for rain to happen without clouds

[hexed rivet]

are you interested on graphic design?!

[young nexus]

Maybe a little bit, I do take some pictures of flowers with my phone

I definitely know when something looks good

[young nexus]

Is the game capture It’s ingame weather like this, that would be astounding and a solid selling point for sure

It’s not so much seeing the light beams them selves, then seeing things interact with the beams you can’t see

That is what’s so captivating

[normal owl]

Sorry but I'm obviously doing quite well for myself in the graphic design department and don't need any assistance, thank you.

[young nexus]

It’s how you put them together dawg

[normal owl]

It was my first Halo drawing ever. I envisioned a group project where each square was drawn by someone different, but then only like 2 people turned in their drawing squares.

Is there a place to post pictures on this server?

Be honest how many of you just open halo just for the customization?

I can confidently say, I spend an hour a day just on that

And another hour looking at my character in the cutscenes

I don't open it up JUST for customization but I always go into customization at least once while playing

[gilded grotto]

Always look or mess with the customization when I play mcc

[hasty zinc]

I'll never be 100% satisfied with how my spartans look

Almost everyday, I find a new appreciation for every core except Yoroi and Eaglestrike

yeah I think Eaglestrike is my least favorite core

Mark VII is my favorite just because there's so much you can do with it, and my Clownmera is my second favorite

[gilded grotto]

Mark VII is perfect

[fickle drift]

I fell in love with chimera so much, I agree

[hasty zinc]

it's so good

[fickle drift]

I didn't expect to love it as much as I do

[hasty zinc]

that reminds me I should work on my weeklies

that extra bit of glam is great

I do like it

[fickle drift]

It do be looking snazzy

[floral pollen]

Now I shall actually depart

[gilded grotto]

Reminds of the halo 4 5, I liked a few of those armors

[round laurel]

At least for me, customisation isn't hugely important to me when almost everything can be bought. I only care about customisation if there is an element of merit. So, in Infinite at least, I only spend about 5 minutes a week customising.

[fickle drift]

Understandable, different people, different play style

[opal lichen]

Lets GO halo on Linux

Huge W

Other companies need to follow the example that Microsoft is doing by actually supporting proton

[tight remnant]

i like chimera but

wouldnt say halo 4 5...

i wouldnt say it's that

[round laurel]

Indeed! Not a sly dig at Infinite, by the way. With that said, I wouldn't mind an implementation of rank based unlocks, similar to Reach or Halo 4. But it'd have to be grindy, so there would be... more of an achievement, let's say, with earning them. Plus, Infinite is likely to last a good few years. In conjunction with that, it could be cool to have some select pieces exclusive to reaching certain milestones in ranked, like Onyx or Diamond.

[gloomy pond]

Why the hell there's so much autoaim for Halo Infinite's NA players?

[rapid pivot]

Question - I’ve noticed that the Bungie Halo games have quite a bit of RNG in the levels that make things different each time. As far as enemy spawns and all kinds of stuff. Do the 343i games continue this trend? I don’t play those games as much.

[young nexus]

You mean aim assist?

SPARTAN-III Mjolnir Mark V armor

[mental kraken]

Bois I have a question

Wasn't there like another game or something that inspired the ship naming in Halo? I've forgotten the name of that thing but there was a whole catalog of ship names

[calm zephyr]

want me too look?

[mental kraken]

That would be much appreciated, my guy

[calm zephyr]

alrighty i'll look

[calm zephyr]

which halo?

[wild sleet]

Im actually curious, would past Armor cores ever get more unique Armor, I wouldn’t mind a Strawhat like Helmet for Yorai & a Scarf for the Rakshasa to hide that Neck

[calm zephyr]

ooh that does sound cool and now i'm curious

[mental kraken]

Well, generally, it was a separate game from the franchise. But I know it inspired the ship naming in all of the Halo games.

[fickle drift]

:))

[fickle drift]

Galactic Armory

[calm zephyr]

Troop Carriers are named after famous planetary features. (for the UNSC) and next will be the covenant. elements of the Judeo-Christian religion. (covenant ships)

[wild sleet]

Wait I remember there’s an emblem that has a Scout helmet mixed with the Ronin like Hat, hope that becomes an official helmet

[calm zephyr]

that's all i got

[smoky token]

The Culture

Unofficially, you can see that it is very obvious in the similarities of the naming schemes

@calm zephyr ^

[calm zephyr]

true

[mental kraken]

OH THIS IS IT!

Thanks so much!

[calm zephyr]

[forest lagoon]

Completely random, Titan, but you say you have a full VR chat setup and not I'm curious if I've ever run into you before and didn't know it

His website and Patreon are worth looking into. His or Frankly Builts discord can help too

[wild sleet]

Rather keep a Arm & a Leg than pay that amount for a Green controller

[dreamy stirrup]

ur loss

[halcyon vale]

green controllers look nice
its weird i havent seen many green xbox controllers with that being the xbox colour

[viral dune]

They're testing the new hot oj mode, i knew it

[near tree]

Are they just cracking a joke that they're obviously testing Halo, or are they emphasizing the amount of systems going to tease something of the scale of warzone?

[smoky token]

I skinned my X1X to look like an OG xbox

best $20 ive ever spent

[halcyon vale]

thatd be cool, id love a green series x

[cedar turret]

I'm fine with green, but that shade isn't aestheically pleasing to me.

[paper trellis]

whens 343 gonna drop the armor core system?

[halcyon vale]

i think ive seen that skin its nice
i love the look of the og xbox, the menus and stuff too

[fossil skiff]

HI

[fickle drift]

Hi

Quick question: How long do I have to play Halo for people to think I don't have a life?

[hasty zinc]

[fickle drift]

Welp

[fickle drift]

I have 50 hours

[fossil skiff]

The emoji! I made it. But it’s smaller than the tacticat. And idk how. But I made it.

[fickle drift]

Welp, I already lost

[hasty zinc]

you just delayed it by asking

[fossil skiff]

Should I just put it in show and tell?

[smoky token]

When rule 2 gets absolished

[paper trellis]

also why are you guys making 1 armor coating for 7 cores and selling it for 20 dollars? Just curious yk?

[paper trellis]

ah so people know. They’re just too scared to get bannsied by the 343

[hasty zinc]

you are asking questions you will not get answers to in here

[paper trellis]

oh i know

[hasty zinc]

then why bother

[paper trellis]

i just want 343 to know that the pressure is on

[hasty zinc]

lol

[smoky token]

lmao

[rare cedar]

Can you can’t waste my time reading your posts

[fossil skiff]

This just in: angry man yells at cloud

I hope that sounded constructive. I would hate to be labeled a hater because im dissapointed in the game

[smoky token]

[paper trellis]

Aegis Bot, what are your thoughts on Halo 4?

[fossil skiff]

Oh I’m sorry. AeGPT*

[dreamy stirrup]

@fossil skiff DM it to me lol

[paper trellis]

this is my finest hour. After years of holding in my slowly corroding love for this franchise, i can now speak directly to a 343 employee if i so choose (yes i know if i did id get blocked or banned)

[fickle drift]

Good luck, Spartan

[rare cedar]

I’m sitting here, withering away, awaiting for the time to strike 1900 so I can go eat dinner

[dreamy stirrup]

[rare cedar]

Be there in 5

[paper trellis]

I’m going to become a symbol of the Halo community. More than Mint Blitz or HiddenXperia. Im gonna do the impossible. I care not for my pathetic discord account. And if this is how i go out I might as well send myself out with a BANG.

[fickle drift]

I can give you a caesar roll

[dreamy stirrup]

a ceasar roll?

[paper trellis]

hey sam. Can i get banned if i break the leak rule repeatedly?

[fickle drift]

Spartan, remember: "no matter how high you fly, remember who you crawled with"

[fickle drift]

Yup

[smoky token]

Don't need a 343 employee to tell you that the answer is yes

[calm fiber]

Please don't tag 343 employees. See #rules-and-guidelines for more information.

bungie and my buds were who i crawled with. 343 made Halo 4..nuff said. Then Halo 5….self explanatory…and now Halo Finite…

except its cool. Plus I only hated chiefs Halo 4 re design (oh im sorry..ahem i meant the armor cortana nano-designed in the cryo tube..) and on top of that theres no room for a mustache on the new chiefs face

He doesn’t have a face. It’s a helmet in a helmet.
