general-chat

[pearl laurel]

||That’s because you remember seeing something about Eddie Thawne being back||

[livid nova]

He's back isn't he

[livid nova]

You're right, I do

[bronze breach]

You will see

[pearl laurel]

Behind you!

[livid nova]

He's right behind me, isn't he

[pearl laurel]

Well that just happened

[livid nova]

Anyone seen the new teaser for Final Shape?

Destiny 2

[bronze breach]

I need to see that. Will do later

@livid nova what flash ep your on?

[pearl laurel]

I saw what you deleted

[livid nova]

I'm like halfway through season 9

Red death was super dissapointing

[bronze breach]

Ahh

It was. A watered down story

[fickle drift]

RIP TINA TURNER

[bronze breach]

Armor looked cool though

[livid nova]

Design looked good, everything else was... dissapointing

[pearl laurel]

Favorite logo

[pearl laurel]

This one too

[bronze breach]

||I'm laughing how thawne got killed at the end of season 8||

About season 8 ^

[livid nova]

It was pretty dumb

[bronze breach]

Could have just super aged barry when he had the chance

[pearl laurel]

That’s because you find it funny, causing a chemical reaction in your body, that is sent to your brain to react by laughing

[livid nova]

I get what they were trying to do with the suit, but it just didn't work

[pearl laurel]

Correct me if I’m wrong

[bronze breach]

Suit was ok imo

[livid nova]

Doesn't really work for me, looks too rubbery

[bronze breach]

But they should have gotten different actors for the negative forces

Guess they didnt have time

[livid nova]

I still don't really like the season 6 suit

My favorite was either season 2 or 4

[bronze breach]

Dark red one?

[livid nova]

Yeah

[bronze breach]

I hate the new reverse flash suit. Old one was way better

Looks like a yellow clown

Too bad cw no longer focused on superhero shows but flash needed to end. Think story was running thin

[livid nova]

The old one with the black?

[bronze breach]

Yeah

[livid nova]

Way better yeah

[bronze breach]

Which was more leather based too

[livid nova]

I actually didn't mind the flash suit from the movie

Ezra Miller himself was not a good flash, but i don't mind the suit

[bronze breach]

Which movie 1 or 2?

2 I dont like it

[livid nova]

Justice league

The one from the new movie doesn't look that good from what i've seen

[bronze breach]

Ahh yeah that one was alright

I'm mad there wont be arrowverse cameos

If they had ezra cameo in the tv show, grant should have at least a cameo to pay a nod for playing the flash for a decade

[livid nova]

Yeah I agree

[bronze breach]

Well that's my run of watching live action series over now

Only ever watched occasional arrow, marvel agents of shield and the flash

Legends of tomorrow for a few seasons too

[livid nova]

Never watched legends

[bronze breach]

I got bored of it lol

[brittle jasper]

Stopped watching around 'crisis' anything worthwhile after that?

[bronze breach]

Crisis basically Mark's the beginning of the end of the arrowverse shows

Story gets a little boring after crisis imo

[brittle jasper]

I stopped because it got boring so...

[bronze breach]

Yeah I wouldnt put you through forcing you to watch the remaining seasons

[livid nova]

Flash kinda became a chore to watch after like season 5

[brittle jasper]

👍

[bronze breach]

Devoe was the best villain tbh if it went for Cecil, he would have won.

[livid nova]

Seasons 1-2 were great, 3 was good, 4 was meh

[fickle drift]

Hello Mateys
Does anyone here like or play dnd?
I'm thinking of making a Halo dnd campaign

[brittle jasper]

Nope, too overwhelming for me

[bronze breach]

@livid nova you plan to ever watch legends?

[livid nova]

Probably not tbh

Lot of other stuff I gotta watch first

It's low priority on my list

[bronze breach]

Fair, you want to tell you about one particular arc?

[livid nova]

Sure

[bronze breach]

Kinda linked to the flash

[livid nova]

||Snart dies right?||

Nice

[bronze breach]

||yes in season 1||

As the particular arc that thawne is flashpoint thawne where Barry stopped him killing his mother and then let him kill afterwards

Nice tie back

[livid nova]

Yeah

They definitely could've handled Flashpoint better in the Flash

[bronze breach]

Yeah

[livid nova]

An entire season about it would've been cool

They kinda completely drop it halfway through season 3

[bronze breach]

Would have been much better than having almost every season being about facing off a speedster villain

[livid nova]

Devoe was cool

[brittle jasper]

"I'm the fastest man alive" lol no you're not

[bronze breach]

He won in my eyes. If it went for Cecil, team flash wouldnt have won

[livid nova]

Slower than Thawne (in season 1 ) Slower than Zoon, Slower than Savitar

[brittle jasper]

My point exactly

[bronze breach]

Godspeed arc was stupid, that was Barry's fault 100%

[livid nova]

So was Reverse Flashpoint

It was entirely Barry's fault

[bronze breach]

lol

[livid nova]

He's just kinda dumb a lot of the time

[bronze breach]

Godspeed arc showed me that he can freely make anyone a speedster lol

Shouldn't have been the case

[devout dove]

How is that I'm able to play the campaign for free?

[pulsar cobalt]

game pass

[bronze breach]

Game pass?

[devout dove]

I don't even have game pass

[livid nova]

My friend could do that too

He never explained how

[devout dove]

I'm just able to load in and play

Yeah it's weird

Lol whatever free game

[livid nova]

I wouldn't complain about it

I got MCC for an absolute steal, basically robbed Microsoft

6 games for $4 was a pretty sweet deal

[brittle jasper]

Where from?

[livid nova]

It was on sale on the xbox store

[devout dove]

I'm not complaining, I'm just confused

Like I wanna know it's a glitch

If its*

[obsidian wyvern]

was meant to mention this a while ago, but i literally saw a guy with a blamite crystal as his earring lol

[smoky token]

Oooh

that’s actually really neat lol

[hearty flame]

They made their billions

[smoky token]

I should do that

Was it, like, 3D printed? Or some sort of gem that was cut to look like a needle?

[normal owl]

If he gets one in each ear, that's a way he can still dual-wield.

[obsidian wyvern]

no clue

i was just in a line and looked up and saw that

[livid nova]

I saw a guy at the gym with an ODST tattoo

[hasty zinc]

then they can flank IRL

[normal owl]

Fear the pink mist!

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly it might have been in both ears lol

i know for a fact i saw it on one side, cant remember if it was both

[normal owl]

Dual-lobe-ing those needles

[hasty zinc]

hear*

[fossil skiff]

I wish >_>

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[hasty zinc]

hm?

[normal owl]

Dang, I slipped up on that one. Thank you for keeping me accountable.

[obsidian wyvern]

you cant really hear when someone is shooting at you with it

you feel the vibrations and by the time you realise whats happening

[fossil skiff]

In 5 they make virtually no noise when hitting you so you’re just minding your business and then dead.

[hasty zinc]

rippy

[fossil skiff]

Even in a vehicle. Rip my banshees.

[obsidian wyvern]

it supercombines vehicles??

[fossil skiff]

Yeah lmao. From grunt mechs. Idk about small handheld ones.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah

[worthy abyss]

I'd rather not get on MCC with people that can IP ban you and get all your information

[obsidian wyvern]

dont they also call out your vehicle lol

[obsidian wyvern]

?

[normal owl]

That was one of my favorite content drops: the grunt mechs in WZ.

[fossil skiff]

You can supercombine drivers. I do that to ghost bosses in early rounds

[worthy abyss]

MCC has a major hacker issue and it's only gonna get worse in the weekend l. It's already worse now

[fossil skiff]

“A tank! That’s not fair.”

[normal owl]

and I heard that if it exhibits exceptional service, it'll be promoted to colonel hacker.

[bronze breach]

Grunt mech vs mantis

[obsidian wyvern]

grunt mech ftw

[worthy abyss]

?

[bronze breach]

[fossil skiff]

The last boss battle in infinite should have been comm tower guy dropping down in a mech

[bronze breach]

The last boss was basically Goku. Man only wanted to fight strong Spartans. Was that too much to ask

Oh I meant the last banished boss

[steady jolt]

I need this

[obsidian wyvern]

it seems like itd suit you

and ngl when i saw his face, it reminded me of you first

[clear sequoia]

@sinful atlas If you got content that's yours, be sure to share it at #1076327824924872755

[neon halo]

500 hours in i have yet to meet a hacker outside of customs

[queen remnant]

You got lucky to not encounter a elite player hacker

[timid crane]

Hear me out

A first person warhammer 40k game but it takes place with blood angels

Or the grey knights

[pearl laurel]

They do that?

[obsidian wyvern]

modtacular is a good name

[dreamy stirrup]

ty

[hardy mesa]

😾

[sour gate]

changing my H:i settings from 30fps to 140fps makes it feel like i've been living in slow mode

everything is so smooth

[fickle drift]

What does the elite bloodblade do apart from be red

Feels exactly like a normal energy sword

[hasty zinc]

increases movement speed, attack speed and does more damage

[dreamy stirrup]

and be red

[calm fiber]

Swiftness. Slashes. Death...

[bold sparrow]

It also occasionally plays Linkin Park and Evanescence if you listen closely enough

[normal owl]

Endless Shrimp, here I come!!!

[bold sparrow]

It's technically in Sangheili but the beat is identifiable

[faint mantle]

May your stomach endure the evening

[mighty salmon]

is chief a super saiyan

[amber mirage]

That's a lobster, not a shrimp

[normal owl]

I've been thinking about this all day. It's going to be so amazing when that first shrimp hits my lips.

[normal owl]

I personally have never gone gaga over lobster: feels like big tough shrimp to me, but I'm uncultured I'm sure.

I think I'll go 4 skewers of grilled shrimp first, then 12 Walt's, then half of each.

[pulsar heron]

oh i love shrimp and prawns. i actually had chinese takeout today and had deep fried prawns with sweet and sour sauce

[normal owl]

Literally went "mmm" out loud.

[pulsar heron]

pork chop suey too

[sturdy bridge]

max verstappen

[normal owl]

Did that "mmm!" out loud again, I need to watch out for others seated around me lol

[faint mantle]

I had a very good tostada

[normal owl]

Beautiful food, but also that plate and placemat are pretty.

[pulsar heron]

oh that looks good. bonus points for presentation

[faint mantle]

If I had taken care of the presentation, that pencil would be out of the way

[pulsar heron]

i didnt even see the pencil until you mentioned it

i really need to try mexican food. it's never really been a local option to me but with taco bells springing up out of nowhere i can see a bit of a revolution happening in the near future

[faint mantle]

Never mind, I forgot what kind of phone I had 😎

[pulsar heron]

magic

[faint mantle]

Taco bells are American food, a possibility for you would be to type "trompo" in Google Maps and see what pops up.

[cedar turret]

Bet you can't take a picture with your landline

[fickle drift]

Is this the Official Halo Discord? :)

[cedar turret]

I'm not sure taco bell can be considered food.

[faint mantle]

If I still had one, I could solder one in

[pulsar heron]

nothing local

headed over to london for the weekend tomorrow, i'll have a look at what i can see. maybe i'll find something good

[tender oxide]

Is season 3 out?

Wasn't season 3 supposed to release like last summer?

Or am I confused

[cedar turret]

you seem to be

[tender oxide]

Or January

[pulsar heron]

season 3 launched march 7th

[tender oxide]

I'm

Wow holy crap

[cedar turret]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/echoes-within-launch

I barely have touched this game LOL

Why would I care what your opinion is?

Besides tyrant cortana from 5 wins.

🤨

[gusty galleon]

[cedar turret]

If there was actual misconduct you can ping us or report it to modmail.

Caps lock into the aether isn’t likely to get our attention if we’re not active

[candid solar]

Finally, a based mod I can agree with

[narrow tiger]

Sir this is the dmv you’ve asked this question 100 times already

[analog kernel]

nois, i can finally play multiplayer on linux

[pearl laurel]

Umm sir? Who exactly are you? This a Wendys not dmv, we’re gonna have to ask you to stop scaring our customers away

[haughty palm]

Well is it?

[jolly willow]

Is it normal that we cannot see other players' Service Records on Waypoint for Infinite?

Like, we can see them for MCC and H5, but if you search another person's GT, and the click on the service record for Infinite, it just takes you to your own...

[woeful shore]

My MCC is displaying a "syncing data..." when I try and start the game, but the data isn't syncing.... anyone know a fix other than uninstalling? (I've already had to do that once)

(please ping if you respond)

ah

thank you very much

[clear river]

do y’all usually run and gun or only push when there’s at least another person with u

[hybrid pollen]

i wish halo had a gamemode were you could be more than elites (grunts, drones, hunters, engineers, ect)

that would be cool

[clear river]

i don’t agree

[smoky token]

I think it might be cool if executed in a Planetside 2 or Battlefront style

[narrow tiger]

Idk probably

[hard otter]

So uh
Were we supposed to see season 4's core through a soap cross-promo or...

[pulsar cobalt]

I think that soap place messed up

They showed the new core

[true tendon]

When is season 4?

[pulsar cobalt]

June 20th

[true tendon]

Cool thanks

Who is in charge of halo?

[pulsar cobalt]

343

[true tendon]

One day I'm going to work at 343 just to only bring back the option to play as elites then quit

[cedar turret]

Save yourself the trouble and just buy mcc.

[true tendon]

That I will do

[hasty zinc]

just a heads up

for the Halo squatch bundle

[pulsar cobalt]

Can we get this for UK ?

[untold oracle]

I'm in Russia

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm guessing the tick means yes ?

[fickle drift]

Halo CE Made by Bungie realesed in 2001, Halo 2 Bungie 2004, Halo 3 Bungie 2007, Halo Wars Bungie 2009, Halo 3 ODST Bungie 2009, Halo Reach Bungie 2010, Halo CE: Anniversary 343i 2011, Halo 4 343i 2012, Halo 2: Anniversary 343i 2014, Halo 5: Guardians 343i 2015, Halo Wars 2 343i 2017, Halo Infinite 2021. And that's excluding arcade games and books and movies and TV shows.... 343i stands for 343 Industries, a branch Microsoft made to create halo after bungie quit, 343 is 3⁷ (seven is Bungie's favorite number) coming from 343 Guilty Spark a halo character. Real quick examples of seven in the halo universe, Master Chief aka Sierra-117, there are seven halo rings, the Spartans were inducted at the age of seven etc.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

[pulsar cobalt]

Can't believe the soap stuff showed the new core though and it looks good

[pure spindle]

They were mostly abducted at age 6

[fickle drift]

I was paranoid I got that wrong, but I sent it to non halo players so they probably don't care

[dreamy stirrup]

inducted

[hard otter]

That's what an ONI agent would say.

[pulsar cobalt]

Hey sam is the new promo able to be brought in the UK just wanna make sure

[hard otter]

for real though.
It actually reminds me of the Doom 3 armor. Specifically the Quake Champions version of the armor.

[fickle drift]

Inducted is just the correct word

[hard otter]

for emotionless nerds it might be.

[cedar turret]

Conscription

[hard otter]

Drafted*

[worthy crown]

Oops

[dreamy stirrup]

if you're gonna link it at least link the dang dr squatch one

not some re-upload

[hard otter]

this post was UNSC approved.

[worthy crown]

Noted

[fickle drift]

Perhaps, conscripted is probably more accurate

[dreamy stirrup]

"abducted" is definitely the correct word.

[cedar turret]

Being kidnapped and forced into military service is kinda the definition of conscription

[hard otter]

Funny that our first look at the new armor is through a soap promo though.
And for Hazmat? 343 telling us to stay clean i guess

(But really, armor looks great, good job guys)

[fickle drift]

If you're alien 👽

[river grail]

Haven't played halo infinite in a while; can we finally customize our Spartans like we could in the older halo games?

[hard otter]

It's a free game. What do you think?

[dreamy stirrup]

that's not how vocabulary works.

[worthy crown]

At least hazmat looks decent

[smoky token]

You’ve been able to customize more in Infinite than any other Halo game since launch, if that’s what you mean

[fickle drift]

I'm kidding

[pulsar cobalt]

Real question is can we even talk about the hazmat core though haha even though the soap place messed up

[dreamy stirrup]

at this point i can't stop that lol

[lethal lichen]

Reach customization is better

[dreamy stirrup]

can't unring that bell really

[smoky token]

Arguable, but not a discussion I feel like getting into rn lol

[river grail]

I mean customize our colors like the older halo games

[hard otter]

the only major difference is multiple helmet attachments and colored attachments.
otherwise, no, lol

[smoky token]

What’s the process for dealing with these situations internally? Is there some kinda “hey, you all messed up” meeting that you hold with brand partners?

[dreamy stirrup]

i just work here tbh

lol

[lethal lichen]

I liked the grind and not having micro transactions but I liked the new changes to the customization

[smoky token]

In that case, not really, the color system from launch still exists

With that being said, there are a lot of coatings that you can’t do with the usual two or three color system. Personal favorite of mine is Scorpion Punch.

[lethal lichen]

I am fine also supporting a company I like

[hard otter]

I'm fond of Forgotten Sands

sandstone beige and white gauntlets

very crisp.

[smoky token]

I like the new system better than old because we can do stuff like camo coatings

or things like scorpion punch

unfortunately you just have to wait for devs to add what you want

[hard otter]

No love for Acid Punch?

[smoky token]

can’t remember what it looks like

truthfully i’m terrible with the names of customization options in Halo lol

[hard otter]

Scorpion Punch but green and on the other arm

[river grail]

Is the co-op campaign still as glitchy?

[hard otter]

You're asking questions better left experienced on your own.

[river grail]

Fun

[worthy crown]

So is this first look of hazmat armor core announcement from Dr. Squatch official with 343 industry?

[hard otter]

Not what I was implying.
I mean you should find out for yourself instead of letting your opinions get colored by other people.

[smoky token]

It’s not considered “leaks” at this point if that’s what you are asking

Cat’s out of the bag lol

[worthy crown]

Hmm thx

[candid solar]

Wait, did it drop with a picture of ITEM?

[smoky token]

yeah lol

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah so its pretty much official lol

[candid solar]

Also it's funny

I've avoided the 40K Darktide subreddit because of how it's legit more caustic most of the time than Halo's subreddits

So I go there, because it's getting an update and I'm curious.

First five comments on top thread are all about how it's bad like Infinite but Infinite is still worse

What a classic, Reddit. God, I hate that hellsite.

[hard otter]

I'd love to know why Infinite is somehow worse

[candid solar]

Honestly? No idea, but it's apparently rent free enough that they keep bringing it up.

[hard otter]

Youtubers and streamers broke their brains.

[candid solar]

Cronch goes brain

[smoky token]

What’s so bad about Darktide right now? Is it just buggy?

[worthy crown]

I really hope hazmat get some better helmets that's all

[candid solar]

Uh... Most of the complaints are about the shop and because the devs are 'patting themselves on the back'.

[hard otter]

And here's me,hour 700 something with a handful of crashes at most over the last year and a half and no bugs.

I feel almost blessed.

[smoky token]

cosmetic shop or item shop?

[candid solar]

Yes.

[smoky token]

gotcha

[worthy crown]

And why it's even missing almost every arm and leg armor lmao

[hard otter]

Because its' a hazmat suit.

[candid solar]

What's funny is, Darktide for me is actually incredibly unstable. Which I'd like to point out is actually rare to me.

Buuuuuut I love playing it because it's legitimately a fun game

So I tolerate the crashes

It only ever happens when I'm loading the Mourningstar or the levels anyways

[hard otter]

Are you gonna tell me Rakshasa, a long range recon suit made explicitly to be comfortable in harsh environments, should have a heavy backplate

[smoky token]

i’m holding steady around the same amount of hours

i’ve definitely encountered some bugs, and a few crashes. There’ve been some bumps along the way. But it’s like turbulence on a plane ride: It’s expected and likely to happen with every ride, just gotta sit it out until it ends.

[candid solar]

Yes because my Army Unit wore our back inserts

• Some random screeching dude on another hellsite

[worthy crown]

Funny thing is, they already have a fine hazmat purpose armor, the HAZOP mkV, and still decided to make an armor with missing arm and leg armor pieces

[hard otter]

Oh, dang, a single helmet.

[candid solar]

HAZOP is basically "What if we did Hazop wrong" and HAZMAT is "What if we took CBRN seriously for once"

In other words, different levels of use, different type of threat.

[worthy crown]

That makes sense thx

[hard otter]

People complaining that regular Mjolnir already does that, when, specialized gear more often than not, made explicitly for a purpose, is leagues better than standard kit

[candid solar]

... Really? That's all it took to make sense?

Like, I'm actually glad, thanks

I've been getting into paragraph-long arguments over that

[worthy crown]

Not perfectly but I'm trying to be more generous to halo now

[thorny glen]

Hazop in H4 is honestly the best version imo

[worthy crown]

This season is gonna be great

[candid solar]

Oh boy

[hard otter]

Egads, a bot.

[candid solar]

Spambot

[fickle drift]

lul nah

[timber forge]

hi, anyone dropping a lot of games (being disconnected) when playing ranked on PC

[thorny glen]

spam bots in the official halo server 👀

[worthy crown]

Well it does look cool

[hard otter]

I just want Mariner and Akis to come back.

[candid solar]

I kinda prefer the new... AKIS?

But then I think it has way better proportions

[hard otter]

The one on Rakshasa?

[candid solar]

Yeah

[thorny glen]

Yea I honestly have no idea what purpose this new armor core is supposed to serve.
MJOLNIR by itself already has all the working environments to effectively work as a Hazmat suit by itself, with specialized versions of MJOLNIR armor existing to combat even harsher chemicals and meant to work in those environments without degrading as quickly as a standard MJOLNIR suit would.

Like..what's this new armor core about? Do Mark VII Gen 3 suits have such severe cost cutting measures that they don't work as hazmat suits anymore?

[candid solar]

Where's the post about it being on more than just the Chimera core btw

I wanted to see this mysterious device

[worthy crown]

We have goofy version of Akis on infinite Rakshasa

[worthy crown]

I really want to find that out after the official lore comes out, but still confused a bit

[fickle drift]

You're putting too much thought into it. It's just a tie-in for Infection.

[hard otter]

Can't we just have cool new things

[thorny glen]

No, I'm putting thought into the lore about it. If the lore didn't exist, you could just say "haha new armor suit".

This stuff has already existed for many years now, no need to start retconning it now.

[hard otter]

Speciliazed CBRN suit.
Simple.
Maybe even wearable by normal people like SPI/Mirage 2C is

[worthy crown]

I thought Hazmat would be cool but not a perfect armor imo

[hard otter]

speciliazed armor is always better than standardized armor.

[worthy crown]

Ohhh that actually would be nice

[hard otter]

It's not that complicated.

[pulsar cobalt]

hazmat looks awesome so who cares

[worthy crown]

No I just haven't thought of it being used for normal people but that would be dope

[candid solar]

Okay so

[pulsar cobalt]

I wonder if 343 gonna show it off now haha

[hard otter]

Besides. New armor go brrr.

[pulsar cobalt]

like a nice high res picture

[candid solar]

There actually is a reason to have an entirely different style of 'glove' MJOLNIR like Hazmat

[thorny glen]

CBRN is just a filter attachment which acts as an additional measure for filtering air quality that all MJOLNIR suits in existence have by default.

And, we already got specialized CBRN armor to begin with, Hazop exist. It even says the CBRN module is additional, not required to filter things out.

[candid solar]

And it's mostly the sheer difficulty of actually cleaning MJOLNIR in a comprimised environment.

Because you're more cleaning a tank than a person.

And assuming you're fighting something like the flood-Spartans don't care much about the organic sludge on them, but they will need to get it off of them in a controlled environment as is the norm for CBRN.

[hard otter]

CBRN isn't just an attachment, lol.
It's a whole branch.

[thorny glen]

It's literally just an attachment.

They're literally called modules for a reason

[candid solar]

Nighterlev, CBRN is literally an entire field of military knowledge and fighting.

It's not just a fancy name for a filter.

[thorny glen]

and..? I'm talking about the attachment in Halo

Not sure how that applies here

"The CBRN module, short for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear module,"

Yea, it's a fancy name for a filter. A module.

[candid solar]

... I forget that I'm talking to Nighterlev sometimes.

[hard otter]

A dinky little helmet filter doesn't comprise the entirety of a specific military branch.

[thorny glen]

Read
"The CBRN module, short for the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear module"

[candid solar]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBRN_defense

[thorny glen]

This doesn't apply to Halo so irrelevant.

[candid solar]

This is what the armor is for.

[hard otter]

You cannot be this dense.

[candid solar]

He is.

[thorny glen]

Been over this already.

[thorny glen]

Where am I being dense? What? I'm literally telling you what the CBRN module is in Halo.

It's an additional thing on top of MJOLNIR's already existing filtering methods.

If you're just gonna ignore that aspect then I don't think you should be talking about this

[candid solar]

Did he seriously just say CBRN, in a franchise where the biggest main enemy is literally a BIOHAZARD, isn't something that applies?

Lmao

LMAO

[hard otter]

It's not my fault Bungie was stupid in their naming conventions.

[candid solar]

This is why you get banned from everything, man.

[thorny glen]

What? No where did I say it didn't "apply", what are you on about?

Think you read something incorrectly dude lmao

[candid solar]

The part where you said "This doesn't apply to Halo so irrelevant" when I linked Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Defense from Wikipedia.

[thorny glen]

It's also not my fault that apparently you're applying an irl thing to a video game that doesn't follow irl laws🤷‍♂️

[hard otter]

Even then, a Mjolnir suit isn't a perfect hazardous environmental suit. So what do we do when it comes to handling biological, chemical, or radiological elements that don't have to do with air particles? oh right, we come up with a system built specifically to counter this.

this is why Hazmat suits exist, you realize

Elements in a video game based off IRL things LOL

Does the army suddenly not exist because of the UNSC?

1-800-CMON-NOW

[candid solar]

Nervously glances at Spartan Holly Tanaka's former service

And the logo still on her breastplate

[hard otter]

I dont wanna think about fireteam osiris.

[candid solar]

I do, I love thinking about my favorite Spartan.

[thorny glen]

Yea, that entire article is irrelevant to Halo, as irl CBRN is a military field of knowledge.
In Halo, it's just a module/attachment as far as anyone's aware. Not a military field of knowledge. It's just a filter.

Pay attention please.

[hard otter]

vale being a sangheili language expert at that age she was at gives me a headache

[candid solar]

Because MJOLNIR Certified Spartan Engineers are the single most based type of thing to ever exist.

[hard otter]

That doesn't mean it suddenly doesn't exist
What are you smoking

[candid solar]

Don't look up Halsey's education history.

[thorny glen]

The Army is incorporated into the UNSC, it still exist yea.

It's literally called "UNSC Army branch" lol

[hard otter]

MARSOC, OPSEC, SOCOM, all suddenly don't mean anything because we haven't seen more of them beyond one or two instances in a naming scheme?

[thorny glen]

Who said that?

[candid solar]

So they know enough about it to name things after it and design things for it, deal with threats regarding it constantly, and... Man, I swear, you really need to see someone about this sort of behavior.

[hard otter]

That's what you're saying about CBRN buddy.

[candid solar]

This is reminding me of the time where a classmate of mine, argued with a Marine who was at Iwo Jima that was issued an SMG that SMGs didn't exist in WW2.

[near tree]

Earwax is my favorite placebo.
It doesn't actually exist, but people who have it don't get cancer

[candid solar]

It's the same level of desperately daft.

[hard otter]

The same argument you're making for CBRN should apply to SOCOM. The M6C/SOCOM pistol in ODST, remember that? But I guess SOCOM is just a fancy nonsense word because we haven't seen it anywhere else, lol

[candid solar]

Like, it's literal mental gymnastics at this point.

Jetpack and all.

[hard otter]

Y'know, Special Operations Command

[normal owl]

This is what #lore-and-universe is for.

[hard otter]

Or maybe I'm the weirdo here.

[candid solar]

No, this sort of bull is pretty par for the course for him.

[hard otter]

tl;dr specialized equipment exists for militaries.

Hazop/CBRN wasn't suddenly retconned because a whole new platform is dedicatd to just that.

Get real, lol

[candid solar]

It's literally still in the game lmao

[fickle drift]

I'm having an awesome pizza right now

[candid solar]

What kind

[hard otter]

What kinda toppings

this is important

[near tree]

Can I have some?

[fickle drift]

I got pepperoni and sausage

[near tree]

Yum

[fickle drift]

Yeah sure

[hard otter]

You get to live for another day, Chief.

[pulsar cobalt]

tuna on pizza is yum yum 😂

[near tree]

Cool thanks

[pulsar cobalt]

oh man people gonna think i'm crazy now

[fickle drift]

Yay thank you

[candid solar]

Honestly I'd try a tuna pizza depending on what kind of tuna.

[near tree]

Go.
Leave.
Get out of here.

[near tree]

You too

[candid solar]

There's more to life than just tinned tuna.

[fickle drift]

Only on planet reach

[candid solar]

Ahi Tuna Steak slim-cut and put on pizza has potential depending on the sauce and complimenting toppings.

[thorny glen]

All MJOLNIR suits are essentially jack of all trade armors.
MJOLNIR suits are perfect hazardous environments, the specialized versions built to enhance those filters are built to excel at it even more so.

Hazop exist to operate in even more hazardous environments then what normal MJOLNIR can handle.
The Hivemind armor is another example, as it's built specifically to combat Flood infestations. Normal MJOLNIR armor can handle this, but not as well as Hivemind armor can.

I literally don't know what else you're going on about otherwise, this whole point was asking why a "hazmat core" would seemingly exist at all when we already have MJOLNIR armor that's effectively hazmat armor to begin with.

[near tree]

Stop
Get some help

[candid solar]

I could see it working with a sweeter sauce and more delicate thin-crust style arrangement.

Maybe no cheese, or feta.

[thorny glen]

No one said they weren't?
But you don't apply things that happen in games to IRL things.

[fickle drift]

I imagine some random indie place selling it for $35 a slice

[thorny glen]

Again..no one said this

[candid solar]

Oh boy he's still going

[hard otter]

CBRN isn't videogame exclusive, what point are you even trying to make here

[candid solar]

Yeaaaaah that's the downside to it

[fickle drift]

This is the second most disgusting thing someone has mentioned on a pizza to me recently. The other being prawns.

[thorny glen]

Again.. We're talking about the CBRN Module attachment, nothing else.

[fickle drift]

You gotta hand over a premium for it

[candid solar]

That he loves to get stuck on the wrong side of an argument due to ludicrous amounts of confidence.

[thorny glen]

Yea I'm talking about the CBRN module attachment, nothing else. Pay attention.

[hard otter]

Mindnumbing.

[fickle drift]

The beef is real

[hard otter]

You're talking a lot words that don't mean anything.

[fickle drift]

Guys, lets chill out and I'll share my pizza

[candid solar]

Shoot, I'd be surprised if making it myself wasn't $35/slice.

[thorny glen]

MGC/SOCOM is a special issued handgun to UNSC special operation units, where's the problem?

[hasty zinc]

new topic: Crocs with socks. Yay or Nay

[thorny glen]

Yea I don't see the problem here

[fickle drift]

Yay.

[fickle drift]

Lol I could see that

[quaint cave]

Nay to anything croc related

[thorny glen]

And..no body said they didn't.

[hard otter]

You're really pressed about things that have no meaning at all.

[candid solar]

Depends. Are they the cute nighttime crocs with the flannel pattern and furry insides?

[fickle drift]

Personally I don't support war crimes, but whatever floats your boat

[candid solar]

If so, Crocs with thick socks.

[hasty zinc]

I used to think like you. Then I got a pair

[candid solar]

They're like ugly slippers.

[fickle drift]

Ain’t nothing wrong with crocs. They’re comfy.

[thorny glen]

And no one said it wasn't, please stop trying to think I said things that I never said.

[fickle drift]

Bruh drop it already lol

[quaint cave]

Damn- gotta get me some crocs then

[candid solar]

Honestly, Nine, you're better off not engaging with his BS. This is where Halo's lack of screencaps hurts it.

[thorny glen]

All I'm doing is pointing out that you're saying irrelevant things that don't apply to literally one word I said

[fickle drift]

I'm not saying anything dude chill tf out

[faint mantle]

Cool

Let's change topic

[hasty zinc]

at this point it's DM material

[candid solar]

Fair.

[faint mantle]

And no, I don't want to hear the objections

[hard otter]

I could feel myself zoning out.

[thorny glen]

One day I'm going to work at 343i just to make sure playable elites never come back
jk

[thorny glen]

Topic ended buddy, chill tf out

[fickle drift]

That's a good edit

[thorny glen]

[pulsar cobalt]

Poor elites why can't we do that to spartans

😂

[hasty zinc]

they did

to Kat

[calm fiber]

As much as I wish they were, humans are not an endangered species.

[thorny glen]

Honestly the only good thing reach probably did ngl

[pulsar cobalt]

Kat was annoying

[hasty zinc]

all that game was missing is a laugh track after each death

[fickle drift]

I couldn't call her annoying tbh because she had zero chatacter traits

[thorny glen]

Nah it was missing the to be continued track

[pulsar cobalt]

she just sounded so dull and boring man

[candid solar]

Does anyone have a pic from the Squatch advert though

I was asking about it earlier and nobody mentioned it.

[candid solar]

Gotcha thanks

[hard otter]

There it is.

[fickle drift]

I couldn't say much of anything about the cast of spartans beside the most basic complements like "Jorge likes to help, he's a good guy." Reach characters remind me of Star Wars prequel characters in the worst ways lol

[candid solar]

Honestly not a bad paint job

[hasty zinc]

idk what color that even is

[hard otter]

Soap cross-promo goes hard.

[hasty zinc]

looks just grey to me

[candid solar]

I'm a bit burned out on black and red paintjobs with burnished brown(?)

[hard otter]

Uh, burgundy and maroon?

[candid solar]

Maybe?

[hasty zinc]

oh, meh

[candid solar]

It reminds me of that S3 Premium Pass coating, the camo one.

But just, y'know, without the camo

[dreamy stirrup]

I think it’s wood grain lol

[candid solar]

I meant on the bodyglove, I'm actually just now noticing the wood grain on the arms though.

[fickle drift]

When does that partnership promo go live?

[candid solar]

And legs.

[hard otter]

It's more Banished than Banished Deception is

well i goat that soap well if i don't get the code well atleast i got soap to clean myself with

[hard otter]

Oh god
Oh god we have 8 armors now

[pulsar cobalt]

343 make red shift cross-core please please 😄

[fickle drift]

I have no use for the product but the $8 code isn’t the worst to buy it and donate

[hard otter]

I pray for an alternate armor hall viewer

[hasty zinc]

they used a Legends OST for the video

[pulsar cobalt]

that yoroi look so good with that coating oh my god

[pulsar cobalt]

I really hope i get the code

😂

[hasty zinc]

use that discount code I posted

28 for the bundle isn't bad

[candid solar]

Wot

[hasty zinc]

#general-chat message

[candid solar]

E

[hard otter]

Yknow, it's just occured to me.

There's like
400 something coatings in the game.

(I'm probably massively wrong on that number.)

[pulsar cobalt]

I'm ready to get my wallet out for season 4

i'm ready to be a cow 😂

[hard otter]

But not only do they all have to be applicable to every armor, which itself has tons of zones and layers, you have to make sure it works smoothly and as intended.

[faint mantle]

Is that the minimum purchase amount to get the code?

[pulsar cobalt]

pretty sure you just have to get the soap right ?

[hasty zinc]

$20

[hasty zinc]

oh no. You just need one bar

I was just posting a deal

[pulsar cobalt]

I tried all codes it didn't work

[hasty zinc]

minimum $20 order for code to work

[pulsar cobalt]

So this should get delivered before season 4 right ?

[tight remnant]

That leg is so beautiful. This statement sounds so weird

[hasty zinc]

idk about your region but mine is 3-7 days

I'll be giving away a code

[near tree]

Is the code for all cores, or just one?

[candid solar]

Are you counting coatings on multiple cores?

IE Cadet Orange

[hard otter]

its probably closer to 200, honestly

[pulsar cobalt]

Got email saying my ingame armour is coming soon haha

[tight remnant]

I missed the hazop vs hazmat discussion

However one, Hazop is a single helmet

not an entire other suite

[pulsar cobalt]

Yeah

[candid solar]

Yeah but we get in trouble if we talk about it

[tight remnant]

The cat is out of the bag

[candid solar]

It's a much more reasonable way of handling it either way

[pulsar cobalt]

you can talk about hazmat now trench

even sam gave it the greenlight not much 343 can do

[candid solar]

It's utterly preposterous to think that just a single helmet and filter line (There's actually about... Five or six?) will protect you any better than a purpose-built suit for that exact purpose.

[pulsar cobalt]

Speaking of which look at the time

Hell let loose keeping me awake i forgot about the time

[candid solar]

There's not even just the flood you have to worry about, but Nuclear reactors don't care if your breathing is a little more filtered, or your Helmet is a little more lead-lined. Your entire body needs additional protection. Nerve agents, blister agents, blood agents, etc etc, can all be not only airborne, but can turn to liquid or even solids on your armor, and must be thoroughly scrubbed and cleansed off of every inch of gear, lest you kill an entire room of your own men with your own incompetence at cleaning by making them choke on blood, gore, and popped blisters caused by just breathing the wrong air, or simply have their neurons misfire as they agonizingly seizure to death from the chemicals going back to a gaseous state.

It's a planet.

[candid solar]

Kill planet

[pulsar cobalt]

is this stellaris ?

[smoky token]

Yes, with the Giga Engineering mod

Takes building megastructures up to 11

[pulsar cobalt]

I did like this game but i gave up i just got lost and didn't know what to do

[smoky token]

It definitely is one of those types of games

[pulsar cobalt]

I love hoi4 though

Got nearly 2k hours on it lmao

[smoky token]

I'm surprised stellaris is so hard for you then

Granted I've never played hoi4 but I was under the impression that they were similar

[pulsar cobalt]

Got about 300 hours on eu4 but that's just dying all the time haha

HOI4 is the one i clicked with

[wintry iris]

o

[smoky token]

Stellaris actually gets pretty easy once you learn how to properly manage your planets (and, thereby, your resources)

[candid solar]

I think it's the whole open ended thing

[smoky token]

Basically just make sure people have jobs and then it's all fine lol

[candid solar]

I could see that being a bit confusing in a sense

[smoky token]

True, I guess

the crisis certainly threw me off the first time

Unbidden moment

[candid solar]

I never played long enough to get to an endgame crisis

I love the early and mid game but I don't care about victory

So I usually get bored and start again

[smoky token]

this is what my game looks like right now

[pulsar cobalt]

The ui makes it so overwhelming tbh

[smoky token]

There are a few UI mods I could recommend to new players

one that (iirc) makes it more similar to hoi4

Halo 3 remake

It’s tentatively scheduled for September 3007

Expect delays

[crude marsh]

I’ll be 1,011 years old in 3007, nice

[cedar turret]

Best take that multivitamin

[candid solar]

They should make a Halo 3 Remake

That way it'll actually be an underrated good game instead of an overrated eh game

:3

[fickle drift]

Anyone here excited for the Snake Eater remake?

I'm really hyped because I got into MGS at the perfect time

[elfin glacier]

They should make it an actual remake and not just a remaster

Throw out the awful writing to start

Also, is the DrSquatch collab a subtle way of saying "you guys reek"

[candid solar]

Make it obvious from the get-go that Forerunners aren't human

[elfin glacier]

Instead of waffling on it

oh oh oh 🤓 I can't decide if it's true or not

I'm going to assume that it's executed better there

[smoky token]

Mystery for the sake of mystery? Half Life is famous for how good it is at it

dropping just enough clues for infinite speculation but not enough to tell you anything particularly concrete

[fickle drift]

That's 50% why I adore that series lol

I'll just spend time thinking about the story and the universe

[tight remnant]

And suddenly I remembered I miss last spartan standing

[elfin glacier]

I hope it returns soon

I think duos would be good

[tight remnant]

That would be fun

[elfin glacier]

Last Fireteam Standing or Last Duo Standing maybe

[tight remnant]

I'll take both

[smoky token]

I debated writing a book (more of a fanfiction really) from the POV of some post-war scientist from Black Mesa about the Combine and Xen and everything

That is, a book that is written by a scientist

[fickle drift]

That's a great idea

[smoky token]

I feel like that kind of thing would be really reliant on detailed illustrations though, and I am no artist

(think Black Mesa xen whiteboards)

[fickle drift]

Highway 17 always makes me think about what happened before the Combine was there

Those abandoned houses and broken ships have this haunting sense of loneliness

Random interjection, I just love that level

[smoky token]

It can be assumed that whoever was in the houses died or fled

Possibly from antlions, possibly from hunger

[fickle drift]

Headcrabs too

[smoky token]

The ships are just degraded from being 10+ years without being in water

• antlion nests

[fickle drift]

That's another thing, the environmental strain put on place from the combine

[smoky token]

Mhmm

It’s never explicitly stated - one of Half Life’s biggest storytelling strengths - but we can infer based on the environment that the Combine is likely stealing resources from Earth en masse

I consider that canon

[fickle drift]

Same

The people are resources especially

[smoky token]

We know they are stealing raw minerals and stuff from cities (the smart walls taking bricks and such)

water from the seas

possibly air, if you consider City 10 canon

[smoky token]

Only for soldiers

Stalkers are propaganda

Scientists are used to make localized short range teleportation and nothing else, then they will be executed

Alongside, probably, the rest of humanity

[fickle drift]

Man, you know a lot more than I do

Love the lore

[smoky token]

I was in a HL RP group for 2 years

Was extremely active there

[fickle drift]

Ha

[smoky token]

Hell, we went over every damn detail of the game, down to minor design mistakes and how they might have affected the lore (whether by accident or on purpose)

[fickle drift]

I just hopped in last year I think, thought "I've heard good things, lets try it" and had one of the best gaming experiences ever

[smoky token]

I pretty much learned how to postulate from there alone

[fickle drift]

That's so cool

[smoky token]

Fun fact

The Half Life Alyx iRifle (which the ordinals use) has a lot of triangulation issues on the right side of it

[fickle drift]

Triangulation issues?

[smoky token]

Games use triangles to make models

The iRifle is made of about 10k triangles

A spartan in Halo, for reference, is generally made of around 60k~

give or take

[fickle drift]

Wow.. I did not know

[smoky token]

example of a minor triangulation issue and it’s fix

Here’s another

[candid solar]

I'm enjoying a Midori Sour

It is okay'

[fickle drift]

Stuff I would never have noticed

[candid solar]

Also I'm thinking on that tuna steak pizza again

[fickle drift]

So interesting how many things go into a game

[candid solar]

I think going for something kind of like Poke w/ jalapenos and associated sauce would be appropos. Maybe some... Shredded provolone and feta, some pineapple or other sweet fruit in its ballpark

[smoky token]

It’s been a while since i’ve had a good poke bowl

[candid solar]

I memorize the locale of every state's Yard House if one exists for the sole purpose of being able to get Yard House's Poke nachos

[candid solar]

https://jz-eats.com/tuna-poke-nachos/

Actually, I know how to make this into a pizza come to think of it. A lighter, crispier, flaky dough for the pizza to emulate the wonton; Use the spicy mayo as the primary sauce with a heavy drizzle of poke sauce and guacamole, with the scallions, jalepeno, and pineapple applied before cooking, and re-drizzled more poke sauce while adding the sushi tuna as the last step. Add feta for the cheese.

[fickle drift]

That sounds awful sorry

[candid solar]

Eh

I mean I haven't made it, just thinking of a possible close recipe.

[fickle drift]

I'm just saying, I would not have a slice of that lol

[candid solar]

Making it a pizza is problably a terrible idea.

But making it as it usually is is wonderful, so.

As in, Poke nachos

[smoky token]

For example @fickle drift , we know that the Combine Material is extremely light and extremely strong for 2 reasons:

1: When the Citadel explodes in HL2 Episode 1, we see bits of it going around all over the place. These pieces are very large, even on the ground by where you land there is very little debris made of combine metal that is small. This points to the fact that it is extremely strong. In addition, it all falls very slowly, pointing to the idea that it is very light.

2: Despite using literal dark energy (IRL material that expands at the speed of light with a ton of energy) as a propellant for it’s weapons, Half Life 2’s OSIPR (Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle) and Alyx’s iPistol (Pulse SMG) both have very little recoil (comparatively speaking of course). The weapons also don’t literally shatter, killing everyone nearby. This points to both the lightness and sheer strength of the material, to resist the forces of dark energy.

[candid solar]

Fair enough, as I was

[candid solar]

Was it the feta or the pineapple

Or was it the early use of poke sauce

Or the cooking of the guac, because I just noticed that was not last like it should be

[fickle drift]

It was all of that, all at once

[candid solar]

Memes aside, pineapple and feta is actually great on pizza.

It needs a pizza built around it, but that's NBD.

[fickle drift]

Gotta wonder what magical element that is

[candid solar]

Osmium.

Still love how Gears basically went 'Yeah Osmium is freaking everywhere on Sera, so we use it in chainsaws and stuff"

[fickle drift]

I have a question

[candid solar]

On our Earth at least, Osmium is one of the rarest materials to exist.

[fickle drift]

Why are the gears of war soldiers so buff

[smoky token]

Isn’t osmium stupid heavy

[candid solar]

Yes!

[fickle drift]

They are built like boulders of pure titanium

[candid solar]

It's an Osmium coating.

Well, an Osmium alloy.

[smoky token]

Definitely not an element, and probably not a material that has yet been named by human science

To quote Dr Breen

[fickle drift]

Obviously not discovered by us lol

[elfin widget]

Anybody want to see a piece of glorious art I had commissioned for a story I'm writing?

[candid solar]

Well, it wasn't really a thing until 3, but I've honestly encountered more built guys on deployment.

It's mostly just the fact that Sera's kind of a more rough world, and anybody left like Delta Squad is constantly lifting.

Or just... Training.

[smoky token]

Anyways i’m heading to bed now. See y’all tomorrow.

[fickle drift]

True

[candid solar]

And frankly, you kinda physically need to be a beast in human skin to win against Locust in melee.

[fickle drift]

Have a good night, thanks for nerding out about half life

[candid solar]

Like, the entire reason the Retro Lancer got dropped from COG's arsenal was because the bayonet literally couldn't penetrate Locust hide without snapping.

[smoky token]

ping me or shoot me a DM if you ever want to talk more about it

I’m basically a walking half life encyclopedia

[fickle drift]

🙏

[candid solar]

And when it could, it was literally because the soldier behind it threw their entire weight into the blow and sprinted into the assault. And even then, the knives were the aformentioned Osmium alloy.

Well

That was not lewd like I expected

GGWP

[elfin widget]

Nah, I don't do that stuff. Only SFW material.

[smoky token]

neat, i don’t really know what to do with this

[elfin widget]

you didn’t make it so I don’t think it’s show and tell worthy? i guess it’s fine to keep here lol

Only if I can post my WW1 Austrian Uniform Caedis art

The one I use for my pfp

Yeah, I admire the artist for that scalework. That's some tough stuff.

[smoky token]

looks expensive

[elfin widget]

400 NZD.

[candid solar]

Well that was higher than my estimate

I was guessing around $220 USD.

Wait

No I was right on the money nvm

[elfin widget]

Yeah, you weren't far off.

[smoky token]

is that new zealand dollars?

[candid solar]

Looks like my memory of exchange rates is better than I thought

Turn off your VPN

[candid solar]

Then I can't use my browser

Verizon's kinda stinky like that

[elfin widget]

Sucks to be you.

[smoky token]

i’ll just post the image

[candid solar]

Reason #281217 that I'm moving.

Literally can only use Discord and play Darktide when my VPN's off.

[smoky token]

Are you still in the area with that roommate

[candid solar]

Still under his roof yeah. It's calmed down significantly though.

[smoky token]

that’s good

[candid solar]

I did outright tell him that he and I are never drinking together again though, and he recently got into some legal hardship

So really I'm just biding my time til I move now

[smoky token]

makes sense

i’m actually going to go to bed now though, like I said I was

[candid solar]

Got a real nice apartment with someone else I knew, pretty chill dood

[smoky token]

can’t keep getting dragged back into conversation so easily

[candid solar]

Was gonna say at some point, isn't it past midnight

[smoky token]

yeah, and i have a few errands to run somewhat early tomorrow

goodnight

[fickle drift]

Could someone with no experience in halo 100% MCC

[faint mantle]

It'll take a while and the challenges related to multiplayer will be hard now that the population is somewhat declining, but it's a non-zero chance.

[fickle drift]

I’ve seen that most people that have done it took them years

[candid solar]

what

[faint mantle]

That it does. It took me over a year to get them all, though I got the games while they were released on PC and not all at once. Your experience may differ.

[vapid siren]

you know its real what hours when the furry says this lol

[candid solar]

Honestly, considering how many mutes I eat here, same like 80% of the time.

[candid solar]

Henlo Hawkner. Have you partaken of the drink?

Y'know what's funny

[vapid siren]

what

[candid solar]

I am drinky

[vapid siren]

mmm

[candid solar]

And bored

Anyways, I find it funny that I've never posted any of my art here.

[vapid siren]

just be me and dont make any ever

despite going to art school

[candid solar]

Unfortunately, Hawk, I'm a writer.

So

Yeah'

[pulsar heron]

just spent like 40 minutes looking for con tickets when i need to leave in an hour most stressful experience of my life

[ebon bluff]

The halo tik tok account is hilariously good

[thorny glen]

I disagree, they should make a Halo 3 Remake that modernizes the gameplay & changes a couple set story positions it has now.

I'd rather do without hearing
"Miranda, what do we do?"
"To war"
again all honestly.

Or just how they butchered Truth's character entirely, the fact that there's no boss fight with Truth, or the fact that you defeating the "Gravemind" didn't even involve a single interaction with the Gravemind.

Lots of other issues to but all honestly I don't think they should waste resources on a Halo 3 remaster.

Plus I mean, Halo 5 needs to be ported to PC fully before they start doing anymore remasters anyways.

[dusty peak]

I noticed the reach armor core in infinite still missing a few armor pieces from halo reach like the military police helmet, haunted helmet variant and a utility piece and probably a few other helmet and shoulder pieces for halo infinite reach armor.

Also little bit of a nit pick but I wish I can have my og armor color of my halo reach set of sage primary color and secondary as steel as in reach the secondary color of steel was mainly on the shoulders on my halo infinite reach version.

Also I noticed that the helmet attachment for the reach helmet is only on one. To where the halo reach game some of the helmet attachments were on both sides of the helmet. Depending on what Helmet it was.

Wonder when we will be able to make our mark 7 Spartans have the gen 3 mark 6 armor lol

[thorny glen]

I'd rather wall bouncing stay far and away from Halo, along with running on walls, jumping on walls, or any of that type of gameplay in general.

[pearl laurel]

[fickle drift]

What will mgs master collection v. 2 have?

[rare cedar]

MCC 2

[harsh vector]

no way mcc 2 🤨

[pearl laurel]

Yes yeat

[fickle drift]

i hope halo 5 and wars 2 finally reach steam

[livid acorn]

Hw2 yes h5 no

doubt

[fickle drift]

why 5 no?

[livid acorn]

They already said they're not bringing it to pc

[fickle drift]

i know is the most disapointing but it's the first game i played in the series

[fickle drift]

i hope they change their minds

[cedar turret]

No current plans doesn’t mean never. It just means it’s not in the cards at the moment.

[neat hill]

Problem is H5 has a couple of live service features like the whole req pack stuff that would have to be changed entirely since the game is past its lifespan.

[hidden crater]

How are we all today?

[winter flame]

it be hot

[pulsar cobalt]

I want the hazmat core badly now haha

[wraith swan]

Greetings gamers

Lmao

[fickle drift]

Praying for 5 and wars 2 to be on steam.

[somber mango]

gamers

[obsidian wyvern]

TOO HOT

[normal owl]

cause uptown funk gonna give it to you

[twilit maple]

I wish they would add back assassination animation back to halo Infinite

[normal owl]

104 Ways to Die

[amber mirage]

Halo 5 had too many good ones to list

[normal owl]

It was exciting to get one unlocked in a Req pack and want to try it out in a match.

[amber mirage]

Yeah

[neon halo]

Gambler spotted

[winter flame]

dang i submit feedback about the OneDrive mobile app and they've replied literally 30 minutes later asking for clarification

[normal owl]

*adult with his own money spotted
FTFY

[neon halo]

Gambler confirmed.

[amber mirage]

I was guy who spent REQ points earned from matches because they handed them out like candy

[hasty zinc]

I sold every req I got to pump back into packs to get armor

[forest lagoon]

It's not gambling if you know you're gonna win

[winter flame]

ngl i still find lootboxes confusing

any game with them in i just lose all interest in customisation

[neon halo]

Luckily most games have abandoned loot boxes in favor of the superior system, outright charging $20 for one skin:)

[winter flame]

think BF1 i needed them to unlock actual weapons so i would just click through them but i couldnt be bothered to figure out how it actually worked

[normal owl]

You gamble every single day multiple times: that a car won't kill you on the roads, that the food you order won't give you food poisoning, that your info online won't be leaked, etc etc etc. One day you'll hopefully learn the difference between gambling and gambling addiction, which is the actual problem you might be confusing together with just gambling.

[neon halo]

Lmfao struck a cord?

[winter flame]

when you make your progression so confusing im not sure how it actually increases engagement

[normal owl]

Ignorance usually does.

[winter flame]

i imagine it just put people off games

[neon halo]

Who cares if you gamble why are you so mad about it

[normal owl]

[forest lagoon]

D minor

[neon halo]

Just because you’re not in a casino pumping money doesn’t mean you’re not doing it

[normal owl]

Glad we agree that it's just fine!

[forest lagoon]

Req packs in halo are not gambling

[neon halo]

Yessir

[amber mirage]

That's a chord. I think they meant more like Aux.

[forest lagoon]

Ah, we playing pass the aux? When is it my turn?

[winter flame]

i gamble with my sanity opening this channel

[neon halo]

Too real

[hasty zinc]

[forest lagoon]

And then they gave me more responsibility here for some reason so I see it all now

[normal owl]

So are you not allowed to block anyone because you need to see all the content in case it needs to be moderated?

[hasty zinc]

did Esq say something? I have him blocked

[normal owl]

Got me

[steady jolt]

[forest lagoon]

[forest lagoon]

Honestly, I super rarely ever block anyone ever so I don't know

[hasty zinc]

yeah it takes a lot for me to actually block someone

[forest lagoon]

I'd rather see what my enemy does than be surprised by their foolishness

[hasty zinc]

because most of the time the message "blocked message" or whatever discord says is more annoying than the person I blocked

[normal owl]

I do it just to mute a discussion. Unless there's some way to do that in a single channel in as single server...

[forest lagoon]

You don't have single channels Perma muted?

[neon halo]

Did you just quote Stalin

[normal owl]

like when people dive into a long wrestling match about some obscure lore point.

[wild sleet]

Ever just restart the checkpoint everytime a Marine dies because you want them to go through it to the end? Felt awesome having 2 Marines survive towards the end of the mission Gravemind

[winter flame]

i dont know why they dont add a simple option to automatically show messages of people you blocked in servers/group chats. I only block people who mention me too much.

[normal owl]

I turn off all notifs except direct @ mentions in all servers unless I admin that server, but I wish there was a way to simply mute within a channel without having to block the user themselves.

[forest lagoon]

Ah, you mean mute individuals in just one channel but not globally

[wild sleet]

Yeah I only have @ Mentions on only not a big fan of my phone blowing up

[obsidian wyvern]

i dont have any notifications on for discord

[winter flame]

i just have the icon on my homescreen since it shows if im mentioned

[normal owl]

Yeah my first ever days of Discord were chock full of notifications of every random thing lol.

[obsidian wyvern]

also idk if its been mentioned but we got our first look at the new core

[pulsar cobalt]

Yes and it looks fabulous

[obsidian wyvern]

idk if its the canon or fracture core though

[pulsar cobalt]

I think it's canon

[obsidian wyvern]

hm

[normal owl]

Appears to be like a hamster tube running across the chest. Small animal companions confirmed.

[obsidian wyvern]

can i ask

[wild sleet]

Looks like Doom Armor

[obsidian wyvern]

what are these for

[pulsar cobalt]

Man season 4 can't come soon enough

[wild sleet]

New Core is giving me Old Doom Armor vibes

[normal owl]

The Mandarin words for rice and rabbit are a close homophone for "me too": it's used by Chinese emigrants to support Me Too discussion about women's often second-class treatment in mainland China.
