@candid solar are you a trekkie

[torpid creek]

it actually didnt :C I think i have all the stuff, but my presets were deleted :C Tags, Emblem, player colors

I unlogged and logged in

But nothing happened :C

[smoky token]

Is it the same username on both?

[torpid creek]

Yup, i´ve already linked it with my steam account

Was it a problem with the cloud storage thing?

[regal chasm]

How to make your mod age incredibly badly. It feels like I am in some 2007 youtube montage.

||Song does make the fight better tho. ||

[smoky token]

what mod?

i don’t think I recognize the map

[faint mantle]

That looks like Lumoria

I could be wrong

[regal chasm]

Lumoria rebalanced which is basically Lumoria but with the tag of Ruby's rebalanced mod.

[smoky token]

I’m mildly impressed by how well the creator mimicked CE’s visual mapmaking language

i know it uses all the same materials and such but the layout looks pretty similar

[regal chasm]

Lumoria is pretty well made. Almost feel like an Halo expansion pack.

Playing that mod with actual bumpmaping is just 👌

[hasty zinc]

@faint mantle Jarritos Tamarind is gooood

[faint mantle]

I haven't had those in ages

[hasty zinc]

SNW S2 time!

[smoky token]

bump mapping on Halo CE?

interesting

are they just height maps or proper normal maps

[hasty zinc]

omg I didn't know he was available

I missed out on Cosmo

and my current one just tries to push my mouse off my desk

[regal chasm]

Go for it. What's the worst that could happen?

[hasty zinc]

I spend $500 on something that tries to push my mouse off my desk

[regal chasm]

But it's an endearing kind of mischief.

Speaking of careless spending of money. man there's just THAT watch I have been interested in for a while for sale at 560 instead of 700. Maybe i should treat myself.

[hasty zinc]

treat yourself 2023!

[regal chasm]

Aw why not? I got a vacation pay/bonus coming soon anyway.

[quick escarp]

AH AWABADUGH

[hasty zinc]

which watch btw?

[regal chasm]

A Casio G-shock. One of their full metal model to be precise.

[hasty zinc]

oooh

[toxic whale]

Hello. Sup?

[rare cedar]

I have something very important to ask

[smoky token]

what be your question

[floral pollen]

What is your important question, Panda?

We've been waiting 5 minutes for it

[hasty zinc]

https://giphy.com/gifs/waiting-hd-well-were-9SIXFu7bIUYHhFc19G

[floral pollen]

My man went offline
We're never getting the question smh

[shadow hinge]

how are melees still so broken in infinite?

[rare cedar]

How old is this skull

[floral pollen]

Its really really old

[rare cedar]

I see..

[floral pollen]

I'd estimate like 10,000 BC though maybe, I'm not a professional

[rare cedar]

My guess was 1800’s cause I was in a town that was established in the 1800’s 🤣

[floral pollen]

Also a possibility lol

I feel like that would just be really old though, not really really old

[rare cedar]

🤔

Now I’m curious

[fickle drift]

Today's adventure with the fam?

[floral pollen]

Only reason I say 10k BC still, is that it seems a little too broken to be 1800s imo

[fickle drift]

...Not if he was hit with a large object, like a pickaxe. Or the skull was broken over time by the elements, or horses...or floods. Or anything.

[bronze breach]

6.35am and man wants to go home from work

[fickle drift]

Who wouldn't? It's 6 in the morning, too early for work.

[burnt frost]

why did I laugh?

[floral pollen]

True, true
I'm not an archeology nerd, so I can't really get the best estimate

[burnt frost]

not even at the words, I was just thinking about tiny smushed down skull

[normal owl]

Dang I'm still awake

[burnt frost]

eyes down low and awkwardly placed with big teefer

[floral pollen]

So am I

[burnt frost]

If I go to bed, S4 will arrive sooner

[fickle drift]

I'm still up too. I just got a shower and dried my hair in the last half hour. I'll be up another hour or two...I am debating watching Extraction 2.

[burnt frost]

the night before S4 is gonna be like the night before Christmas. There will be no sleeping that night

I want hot mics on launch

[normal owl]

I heard the plot is a little light but that the action is awesome.

[normal owl]

[bronze breach]

Started at 4am and finish at 10.30am lmao

[fickle drift]

I watch those movies for two reasons, cool action set pieces and Hemsworth being a badass. If it accomplishes that it could have zero plot, lol, and I don't care. That said, a good movie recently with a fairly entertaining plot and fun action was Bullet Train. I didn't see it in theaters and was surprised it was really good.

[shadow hinge]

so i block a player and get paired up with them the next game, LOL

[fickle drift]

4am.... I'm a night owl but if I ain't started by 4am it will be done the next day.

[normal owl]

SAME: Bullet Train escaped my notice but then I watched it on the plane to Egypt and I got totally sucked in. I forgot about that original Guy Ritchie threads-interweaving style. Was enjoyable!

[fickle drift]

Guy has a new movie with Henry Cavill coming soon... 👀

[floral pollen]

Cya all later! Battery is dying

[normal owl]

Good night!

[shadow hinge]

343 gotta be trollin, i blocked this player, and get paired with them again. LOL

[vapid siren]

thats... not how that works tho

it hasnt for a while iirc

[normal owl]

I hope Henry Cavill gets to let his hair down with his natural voice instead of having to do the American accent. I know it's part of the job, but I personally feel like I would enjoy a movie just as much if British actors didn't have to do the extra work of the American accent.

[vapid siren]

in a lot of games nowadays you typically only have blocked comms cause its dedicated servers and such so you aren't blocking anyone's connection or such

[smoky token]

One of my favorite action movies in recent memory

by a long shot

Hawkner, I got one upgrade to my FSD

[vapid siren]

oh the engineering

[smoky token]

need more high wake scans though

a lot more

[fickle drift]

He should be as the new movie is about British Soldiers, so you'll hopefully get your wish.

[vapid siren]

yeah welcome to the grind lmao

this is where a lot of folks turn off from Elite

[smoky token]

It is a grind I have come to know

[normal owl]

Surprised me in a cool way who played the villain. I like when it doesn't seem like an actor's style.

[shadow hinge]

ggs, might be time to retire halo

[smoky token]

I was born of the grind, molded by it

[vapid siren]

because you matched with someone?

lol?

[smoky token]

I suckled the teat of the grind and it gave me sweet serotonin at the end

[fickle drift]

Justice for Tangerine tho...

[vapid siren]

was the gamba roll at least good to you

[normal owl]

HAHAHA

[normal owl]

If I could pin comments I would lol

[shadow hinge]

nah been with halo since ce. all friends left infinite. been stickin with it, but melees still broken and the lack of party up/community got me feelin some type of way, lol

[smoky token]

I only had an issue with melee once

I remember it pretty well actually

[shadow hinge]

maybe i have horrid internet then

[smoky token]

That was one game out of thousands

It could definitely be that

[shadow hinge]

i go back and watch in theatre and stuff just looks wonky as all get out

[smoky token]

Is there a way to check ping for azure servers?

[smoky token]

Theatre isn’t a good measure of what happened

It’s a simulation moreso than a perfect recording

[shadow hinge]

lunges be wild, and i just graze their ear. plus i see bullet going through walls when i check the tape

[smoky token]

Again, theatre isn’t accurate

I don’t think it ever has been

[shadow hinge]

they working on it to make it better?

that mean my connection is garbage?

[smoky token]

It would require immense amounts of data to record everything that happened in every match in perfect detail

[shadow hinge]

i love halo, but this thing got me feelin some type of way

[smoky token]

Space that even Microsoft probably doesn’t have

[shadow hinge]

so my melee frustrations are just me?

[smoky token]

Probably a result of bad internet

[shadow hinge]

it ok if that is the case, but just curious

[vapid siren]

ik someone who swore his internet was perfectly fine and it turns out Cox has been well.. shafting him horribly with network stability

[shadow hinge]

bc that is the reason some of my friends quit also

[smoky token]

https://www.azurespeed.com/Azure/Latency

Try this tool, maybe?

[shadow hinge]

wont lie, no idea what this means

[vapid siren]

600mb symmetrical fiber go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[vapid siren]

bro got lied to by his ISP that the quality was good

speed was there but everything else blew

[smoky token]

I’m 1000/40 on COAX

[vapid siren]

ew

[shadow hinge]

i am just a simpleton who doesn't know this internet slang. it be what it be

[smoky token]

Fiber isn’t an option out here and getting it installed is minimum 50 grand

sooo

[vapid siren]

[shadow hinge]

no fiber where i am either

[vapid siren]

yeah where i live is a decen telecom hub

[smoky token]

I live in bum**** middle of nowhere

[shadow hinge]

it is what it is

had a good time h2 and h3

[smoky token]

Can always go back

[shadow hinge]

still a win. if infintie isn't working, still a W

[smoky token]

Halo 3 has a good population on the MCC

[shadow hinge]

much love to halo and will never forget it. ggs everyone

lol excreation word is banned in this server, rip.

[restive grotto]

cant even say butt i think

is there a battle pass leak

or is s4 live already?

[potent umbra]

how's infinite been, haven't played in a while

[smoky token]

I haven’t watched the vod yet but parts of it have been officially released at a livestream that happened yesterday, june 16th

[fickle drift]

Morning 🌄

[restive grotto]

ah ywah saw those screen caps on reddit

[smoky token]

the nerd helmet

🤓

[restive grotto]

i actually wish they added the halo 4 themed hazop

[fickle drift]

We need some team Osiris armors

[timber charm]

O.O

[spark drum]

This hazard armor looks pretty good but I wouldn’t pick that helmet.

[smoky wraith]

For Xbox players: If you're in a party, can you also be in a Discord VC at the same time through the Xbox or does it kick you out of the party and switch over?

And vice versa

[swift parrot]

hey

[winter flame]

think it switches you

and kicks you out of the other one

[faint mantle]

[obsidian wyvern]

@fickle drift#483682852865572882

[fickle drift]

how do i submit a bug report a new gaming services update happened and now i cant launch halo infinite anymore on pc

[bronze breach]

[winter flame]

https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

it might be better to use feedback hub for gaming services tho, not sure

[fickle drift]

i used to allow virus protection to allow halo infinite to run now its changed and somethings been done that a new exeucable hidden in windowsapps location needs to be allowed to make halo run

[winter flame]

at that point just delete and reinstall

[fickle drift]

no halo is working now

[winter flame]

did you allow Gaming Services through the firewall?

[fickle drift]

yes

[winter flame]

you probs messed up perms for WindowsApps

which is a massive pain

did you change ownership of the folder

[fickle drift]

no i cant access it

i just allow folder in virus protection

[winter flame]

honestly im amazed that corrupted it

windows is great lol

[fickle drift]

something in windowsapp is being funny triggering my virus protection to shutdown the game

[winter flame]

it happened at the same time you excluded the whole windowsapps folder?

are you using 3rd party anti virus?

[fickle drift]

yes. now because i excluded it. halo runs fine

yes trend micro maximum security

it used to just be excluding halo install location

[winter flame]

i dont understand how that could break gaming services, it might just be a coincidence .

have you tried repairing gaming services?

[mighty solar]

one day
split screen co-op for MCC PC

[winter flame]

right click start > installed apps and then find gaming services and click repair

my gaming services update yesterday as well but nothing seems broken

[fickle drift]

i guess i could just go through each folder in windowsapp folder and see which one is breaking the games from loading

i can access folders through virus protection but not through windowsexplorer.exe

[dawn tangle]

Hello

[fickle drift]

see its mircrosoft verus virus protection wtf

[winter flame]

honestly if your virus protection software is causing this much headaches i would probs just uninstall it

but yah your virus protection shouldnt be interfering with Windows Security and vise versa iirc

[fickle drift]

the virus prtection turns off windows defender when installing it

[winter flame]

i really dont get why that would stop all your games opening though

yah that makes sense

[fickle drift]

no doom eternal still opened

for some reason its only halo infinte and gears 5

i think it started happening around the time kernal level anti-cheat was installed

[winter flame]

all I can think is keep excluding stuff until it works

i think you have to exclude processes not files. excluding files probably just makes it ignore them while scanning

whitelisting processes would mean the anti virus doesnt interfere with the processes

i know in windows security you just whitelist the process name, and you manually enter it

i.e. HaloInfinite.exe steam.exe etc

[fickle drift]

well i guess its all good for now as long as i can still play. weird though it only happened recently. and i think it was that gaming services update i got yesterday and now i have gaming UI (4) process permanently running in task manager. it wasnt like that last week

[winter flame]

i think that might be the program that shows the "Sign in to Xbox Live" prompt

not running in the background for me but it may after you launch a game, not sure

[bronze breach]

I am home!!!

[feral haven]

Do people still give out codes for nameplates on mcc anymore?

[bronze breach]

No. People dont here and I'm sure it's not allowed to ask or beg for codes

[feral haven]

Alright just curious because I’ve seen some people with unique nameplates that I’ve never seen

[cobalt peak]

Yeah, no one does anymore, there’s a guy selling a grassroots hcs nameplate for $900 on eBay, but other than that I don’t know if anyone else does

[shadow swan]

What happened to Dustin echoes?

[cedar turret]

Accident with cuisinart

[covert drift]

Anyone know if some achievements are bugged on mcc when doing a playlist? did the h3 legendary under 3h, but didnt get it. Dont know if it has to do with me playing a playlist or not

[winter flame]

shouldnt matter

check wort.gg

it will show if any missions got skipped

[obsidian wyvern]

wort

[pulsar cobalt]

I hope the challenge swaps and XP boosts gets redone for the bp there's just so much of them

[amber mirage]

More Game Pass game leaving at the beginning of next month that I now need to buy or somehow finish before they leave.

[molten pelican]

someone called me?

[pulsar cobalt]

Revenant a secret elite player saying wort wort

[safe dawn]

Wut

[covert drift]

No missions skipped, oh well happens iguess ;D

[vagrant badger]

halo infinite will never be popular without ranked functionality for Big Team Battles and better progression. simple level up titles or achivements...

[queen remnant]

Ranked btb? What

[fickle drift]

Ranked btb.....?????? How would that even work

Wort wort wort @obsidian wyvern

[peak parrot]

It's my favorite helmet design, and yet there's no info on how to get it, so can anyone tell me

How do I get Athlon??

[amber mirage]

There was Ranked BTB for a short while in Halo 5. I don't remember much about it, though.

I don't think Athlon has been made available yet

[peak parrot]

It hasn't, and it confuses me

Not a shop item, not a weekly item, as far as I'm aware, anyways... but it's such a cool helmet

[amber mirage]

Once its made available, you'll know how to get it

[peak parrot]

Oh, I bet I will

[candid solar]

Oh boy, you'll never guess what it's literally getting on Tuesday.

[obsidian wyvern]

1 or 2

[broken bane]

Hi

[fickle drift]

Wort

Wort

[obsidian wyvern]

idk what the ending to this video is

[candid solar]

Funny, that's what

[pulsar cobalt]

Counter strike is something else man no wonder i stopped playing it years ago

[tired wraith]

I feel that

[vagrant badger]

hope we get ranked functionality leaderboard and rewards for big team battles and better progression titles soon

[bronze breach]

no

[earnest umbra]

what does that mean

[neon halo]

Aim bad so game bad

[candid solar]

https://twitter.com/WardenEternals/status/1669839000415117320

I like their idea to have knights hold up the flag in question with their little arms.

[sour gate]

nah csgo sucks

[earnest umbra]

lol its just different. I didnt like it either at first but you get used to the shooting mechanics

[stoic rapids]

ee rah toos or e ra ters

[earnest umbra]

i was waiting for CS2 but it died down, thought it would be out by now

[stoic rapids]

valve time, probably gonna launch last day of summer

[earnest umbra]

probably 🤣 about a week ago they just added more people to the beta and added Mirage

[stoic rapids]

forever in beta

[earnest umbra]

right 😩

[candid solar]

Former.

[candid solar]

Wow they added Halo armor?

[earnest umbra]

I dont really like Valorant but i like how they make subtle changes to maps that make the maps feel different

[stoic rapids]

Mirage, the only map I know how to play

[earnest umbra]

Mirage is the only map i know a bunch of smokes for and i do the worse on that map for some reason

I hope since they are adding slayer as a ranked mode they make the regular ranked objective only 😩

I hate slayers, especially on the forge maps

[quaint canyon]

imagine trying to beat halo 2 laso with a blindfold and a guitar hero controller.

[earnest umbra]

what in the world

[earnest umbra]

S4 i think im only buying things in the shop that have new weapon models TBH

[neon halo]

Do the models affect their gameplay?

Like the tier 100 bulldog is a different gun?

[earnest umbra]

no its all cometic

[neon halo]

LMFAO

I thought it was like slightly different versions of the base gun

[earnest umbra]

that would break the game if they had diff damage/recoil

wouldnt make sense. Would turn into pay to win

[neon halo]

It’d be fun

Mix it up

[trail grail]

Hellow

[neon halo]

I thought it was the path to having pump action shotgun

[earnest umbra]

I would however like diff weapon models with diff shooting effects like in Valorant, Makes you want certain models.

[earnest umbra]

I think the majority of Ranked players want a Pump over an auto too

[neon halo]

Pray if they ever do add it it’s the halo 4/5 model

[earnest umbra]

Halo 5 shotty was more like the Heatwave

[candid solar]

Same but not joking

[neon halo]

I’m being Fr

[candid solar]

It's honestly grown on me over time.

[neon halo]

I unironically think it looks better in every way

Don’t tell Reddit

[candid solar]

Honestly, people getting salty over it would be cake icing.

@zealous crow Why the FR?

[earnest umbra]

Covenant weapons > Banished weapons

[pulsar cobalt]

My aim isn't even bad

[earnest umbra]

I do like the new core they showed for S4

[stoic rapids]

that would be p2w

[candid solar]

Not if it made them worse.

[neon halo]

Unique weapon models is p2w?

[obsidian wyvern]

if the models affected gameplay

[neon halo]

Stop seeing as like “gun now shoots fast” no just functions differently that doesn’t have to be better

But I guess that’s not halo to you guys so we gotta wait for 343 to slowly release another Dmr

[obsidian wyvern]

no one wants different weapons locked behind a paywall lol

regardless of whether it is better or worse than the current item everyone has for free

[candid solar]

CoD fans moment

[neon halo]

Nobody wants ANYTHING locked behind a paywall

[fickle drift]

That'd be a good way to get more hate for this game...

[obsidian wyvern]

so what are you on about here

[neon halo]

What

[obsidian wyvern]

sounds like you're complaining about us not wanting this behind a paywall

[neon halo]

Sheesh

Am I talking to a tournament player

[obsidian wyvern]

??

[neon halo]

I just want fun weapons

[fickle drift]

What did that have to do with his question?

[obsidian wyvern]

my interpretation makes me a tournament player

what are you on about lol

[neon halo]

You’re talking about a p2w gun

I’m just wondering why a shotgun variant couldn’t have been made the pump action

Especially with infection coming

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm fine with different shotgun models

[neon halo]

“Unless p2w”

[obsidian wyvern]

it just looked like you were complaining about halo players not wanting different models being behind a paywall

[neon halo]

Not at all I just thought variants would be cool

[obsidian wyvern]

since the 2 models we were talking about before were from the battlepass

[winter flame]

letting players customise how weapons behave is just a step towards everyone having different loadouts again

[wispy blade]

If they added the pump action shotgun it would be cool but it would have to be a free update as I don't like paying for anything but cosmetics in a free to play game

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah, agreed

I'd like to see a pump action for infection too

[neon halo]

Yeah since battle pass sadly is the only form of unlocking things

So it was my go to for explaining

[wispy blade]

Honestly I hope they go and add all of the unique weapons if only for festia and forge

[winter flame]

you dont unlock weapons in halo infinite, and they arent going to go back in that direction thankfully

[neon halo]

That’s the dream

[winter flame]

if they add more weapons everyone should be able to use them from day 1

[candid solar]

@smoky token

[neon halo]

Wtf is this guy

[steady jolt]

On it

[neon halo]

117 dude

[wispy blade]

Honestly that is why halo 5's festia is the best

[steady jolt]

Really?

Why are you tagging them?

ffs

just ignore it and let us handle it

[candid solar]

KK.

... I'm starting to think the convoy I'm hunting in this game isn't coming back.

[obsidian wyvern]

damn the few minutes I go offline I miss everything interesting

[candid solar]

It wasn't that interesting.

[pliant hatch]

footed starting drama

[winter flame]

not unless someone takes the bait

[bronze breach]

Who shall I bait today.

[winter flame]

today is a drama free day in general chat

[bronze breach]

Not until I post my rage on chat as I'm playing btb after 5 min break

Some dude got in a ghost I was destroying and got a betrayal.. -_-

[winter flame]

skill issue

learn from it and do better

[hasty zinc]

what game shall I play today

[winter flame]

[winter flame]

i heard halo is pretty good

[bronze breach]

Should have been quicker

[hasty zinc]

also by some miracle I slept 10.5 hours

[bronze breach]

Also I keep getting breaker matches -_-

[winter flame]

never be angry at the game, be angry at yourself

[bronze breach]

No be angry at the devs.

[obsidian wyvern]

I am so bored

[hasty zinc]

that's perfect! Elite: Dangerous it is!

[bronze breach]

Revise or jump on infinite.

[obsidian wyvern]

how are these supposed to help me from being bored

[winter flame]

i get too hype for the new maps i have no motivation to play the last few weeks of a season

[obsidian wyvern]

imkiddingilikeinfinite

I was about to search for something to disprove that and lol

[bronze breach]

Charge your phone.

[winter flame]

i cant tell if peeople were just playing along or taking that seriously in the chat the other day

[rare cedar]

I asked it

[obsidian wyvern]

when I repeated it?

[rare cedar]

Don’t bait people, part of the rules here 😑

[normal owl]

Have you played Greedfall yet? It's like stepping back in time to an old Bioware game circa Mass Effect 1 / Dragon Age 2.

[obsidian wyvern]

saying reach bad isn't bait btw

[winter flame]

i cant remember tbh

i couldnt tell if everyone was just meming or not

[bronze breach]

I was kidding. I stopped after stckr said the other day. Dont worry.

5.30! Time to rage on btb!

Sometimes I wish I had a second monitor

Anybody else stuck on level 19 for the story event?

[obsidian wyvern]

looks like you missed a challenge from a previous week

[last ember]

Yeah, I just picked the game back up and didn't know you could only get 10 levels per week

Why don't they let you have access to all the levels on the final week?

[obsidian wyvern]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tbf we've had 4 weeks to do it, but i dont like the system

[last ember]

I understand spacing it out for more engagement, but to stop giving progress in the final week? Ugh

[fringe igloo]

Did you all see that Phil Spencer and Matt booty say that Other studios mybe working one halo Projects

[obsidian wyvern]

Certain Affinity are working on something for halo infinite

[fringe igloo]

I think he was talking about other studios we don't know about

[fickle drift]

I agree with that.

It’s not a fair system in the final week.

[last ember]

Most people will complete the story over the 4 week period, but I think they should allow for people to make up for missing out earlier by allowing everyone to make it all the way through in the final week

Is there someone I can talk to?

[cedar turret]

Probably. Have you tried asking people on the street if they’ll talk to you?

Or maybe a family member

[fickle drift]

Yeah they could do that, maybe they have a fear it will make people wait until the last week tho and lower engagement.

[last ember]

Haha, I don't think they fully grasp just how cool the chest piece is

To disable the ping/tag when replying, please click or tap the "on" button at the right hand side of the chat box in order to turn it off.
For users on PC, if you hold Shift while clicking reply the tag will be automatically turned off.

[last ember]

I disagree, because pretty much everyone will want to get the gear earlier

and thru might actually get a little more engagement from a small group of late-to-the-game / procrastinators

[cedar turret]

He who hesitates is lost. As are those who forget to buy a map.

[last ember]

What about those who have been playing a lot since like, the last day of the previous week?

[cedar turret]

I suppose that depends on their sense of direction and ability to follow trailmarkers

[last ember]

Doesn't matter how well you can follow a trail of there's a forcefield blocking the finish

[candid solar]

E.

[bronze breach]

joined a game and gone -2... for goodness sake... stupid matchmaking

[last ember]

Anyway, just wanted to express my frustration and see if there's anything that can be done. Thanks for letting me vent 😁

[near tree]

You're good
Yeah it can be disappointing, I've missed some events too

But yeah, Keep your eyes peeled
Sounds like there'll be quite a few events in season 4

[last ember]

Not another one with that sweet sweet chest attachment though 😭😭

[candid solar]

From the preview, I think there's better stuff in general next full season pass.

Not that I don't like Chimera.

[near tree]

Yeah 😢

[unique flicker]

Halo 5 on pc when

[near tree]

But there should be some other cool stuff

[stoic rapids]

[clear sequoia]

Hello

[clear sequoia]

What's a waypoint

[outer wolf]

Halo waypoint

[clear sequoia]

Never heard of it

[candid solar]

I'm watching someone make a synthetic meat-leaf.

It's kind of crazy how far tech's gotten in that department.

[timber charm]

[solid ice]

DAMN Bro the VCs are dead

How the hell

[hearty flame]

Halo isn't a popular FPS right now, that's how

[solid ice]

Nah cuz a month ago there was always full BTB lobbies

[hearty flame]

¯\ _(⁠ツ⁠)⁠ _/⁠ ¯

[candid solar]

I love grappling people who forget grapple is a threat

[cobalt peak]

Why is the test burning sky 1 coating $10?

That’s ridiculous

[bronze breach]

nothing you can do

Don't believe that this one should be in the store, likely just a small error

[candid solar]

Same time we get a GEN2 core

[timber charm]

ya even that makes more sense

(tho keep the fuglies OUT ples omg)

[cedar turret]

It’s a long time till the heat death of the universe. Hard to say what will happen

How about no armor

[timber charm]

Not even gonna wait for a date first?

[timber charm]

[candid solar]

I saw some guy using Seeker a few days ago in a game. What a based individual.

[smoky token]

it’s finally happening

Halo 5 on PC

[obsidian wyvern]

woah

[obsidian wyvern]

its only gamepass pc games

halo 5 isnt on the pc version game pass

[smoky token]

DAMMIT

uhh

Halo 5 Forge?

[obsidian wyvern]

lmfao

[candid solar]

I'm angry and sad now

[cedar turret]

Isn’t that normal?

[candid solar]

Ouch. Yes, but ouch.

[candid solar]

It really is telling that Halo 5 never got fully ported, only the Forge.

It's already a third of the way there, but yet...

[hasty zinc]

telling of what?

[candid solar]

That the decisionmaking in 343i at that specific period of time was questionable regarding PC.

Or that 5 was wildly unpopular and that stopping PC work on it was an overcorrection.

[hasty zinc]

or maybe they decided it's wasn't worth the resources/time/money to do it when they had Infinite in the pipeline

[cedar turret]

Why would you think it had been worked on at all?

[candid solar]

Forge on PC dropped in September. The last 5 update was in November.

Then again, the content that remained was also really weird.

Hence why I'm noncommittal in exactly what I think it's telling of, because it doesn't tell much regarding 343i's position on PC gaming in 2016, just that the decisionmaking involved was questionable.

[pulsar cobalt]

is that test bundle meant to be athlon what's going on ?

[candid solar]

I'd rather not say it was awful because I don't think it was bad, just missing a more positive mark.

[regal chasm]

From what I heard, the forge pc port was basically made to make it easier to make forge creation.

It's barelly a port, it's more like a tool.

[candid solar]

It's actually fully playable.

Like, you can sandbox or even play in a custom games browser.

[regal chasm]

I mean, outside of custom games there isn't much to it.

[candid solar]

But it's a PC only CGB.

Yeah, which is part of why it's confusing.

It also has some campaign models and rigs.

[regal chasm]

Almost like it was intended for forger to test out their map.

[candid solar]

Like Osiris team.

[winter flame]

I will 1v1 anyone in halo 5 forge for lolz

[candid solar]

But why would you need campaign models and rigs for things that you can't place? *Outside of file manipulation

[regal chasm]

Sometime, developers just leave stuff unused in their games.

[candid solar]

I wish I had finished the second thing I was typing before you said that :P

[pulsar cobalt]

wasn't the halo 5 forge cross-play ?

[obsidian wyvern]

there's still tons of halo 5 assets in infinite from what I've seen

[candid solar]

I was going to say "Aside from poor file removal methodology".

[pulsar cobalt]

I remember playing the forge beta PC with console players on customs

[candid solar]

Regardless. Nowadays I'm 100% convinced the backlash from 5 is pretty much the only reason it never got ported. Lowered the value of doing so.

[winter flame]

I think they just planned halo 5 on Pc, called it cus Xbox being Xbox, and 343 release “Halo 5 Forge” to gauge interest for halo 6

Cancelled

[pulsar cobalt]

the only backlash i saw for 5 was the campaign

the MP was very well liked

[candid solar]

There was a lot for MP from the usual suspects.

Because it wasn't... Classic, I guess.

[winter flame]

Interestingly halo 5 forge has the same mouse cursor as Halo Infinite

Otherwise it’s very poorly optimised by comparison

[pulsar cobalt]

i do think still the halo 5 forge PC was still a test to see how popular doing halo on PC would be

[candid solar]

😡

Well now that it's obvious it's well received

C'MOOOOOON

[winter flame]

I think other way around. Xbox cancelled the PC release so 5 Forge was just released because why not

It’s a bad port but who cares cause it’s free

[pulsar cobalt]

Halo 5 could of done so well on PC its not even funny

[candid solar]

It honestly plays like a game meant for PC.

[winter flame]

I imagine 343 were told it was gonna be a Xbox and PC release but Xbox heads changed their mind?

[candid solar]

What little I got to play on MKB, it was actually fluid and fun.

Like proto-Infinite.

[winter flame]

4 is also good kbm

[candid solar]

5's basically as slick as PC Infinite when working right in my experience with it.

[winter flame]

If not more so due to slower strafe momentum

[candid solar]

And Infinite is... Ooo. I love Infinite's movement on MKB.

[bronze breach]

14-5 with a ninja...

[winter flame]

I would say both 4 and 5 are better suited to kbm then infinite

[candid solar]

Ech.

I mean, I think literally every Halo ever is better on MKB.

Even Goldeneye is great on MKB.

[winter flame]

Not that infinite is bad but some of the changes from 5 to infinite made the movement more distinct between controller and kbm

In infinite you can easily tell from someone’s strafe they’re kbm rather then controller

No momentum pretty much

[regal chasm]

Remind me of "controversy" of Reach kbm control not allowing you to crouch while walking. You had to come to a full stop before crouching.

Just one of the many issues with different control scheme.

[obsidian wyvern]

kd is recovering

[winter flame]

The way infinite is balanced between kbm and controller is to give them both advantages which is a bit weird

[bronze breach]

400 more kills before I reach 1.00 kd

[obsidian wyvern]

you got this

[bronze breach]

👍

one more match before calling it a day... been playing since 2pm with 2 breaks

[pulsar cobalt]

Morbius loves his btb

[winter flame]

Now you can crouch and strafe with kbm but not controller 🤣

[bronze breach]

of course xD

[obsidian wyvern]

my ranked kd needs 500 kills to go back to 1

[bronze breach]

I broke my own promise of waiting till season 4

[winter flame]

Reach is so much easier with controller I feel like the kbm input is broken though

Idk if it’s just the gameplay or what

[timber charm]

MP gameplay slapped

[fickle drift]

Is ranked slayer gonna be a thing? Coz if it is won't it just divide the small player base that play ranked even more

[timber charm]

just the game looked ugly lol

lighting was awful and dynamic res

[pulsar cobalt]

wish they just kept the beta look

[candid solar]

What's funny is, going back now, it's not bad.

[winter flame]

Base Xbox One problem

Xbox one X version was beautiful

[timber charm]

beta lighting is 🤌

[candid solar]

The campaign has some weird shinyness sometimes.

[winter flame]

Lighting was good

[candid solar]

That's not actually something I see as much in MP.

Though, Halo 2A's MP is still leagues worse in the lighting department.

[timber charm]

still have my base xbone, its chonky

[candid solar]

I can't actually stand it, lmao. It's the only game that kind of overloads my brain lightingwise.

[timber charm]

ya it does try a bit too hard

to be pretty, like paintings

[candid solar]

It's so... I want to say, oversaturated?

It's like someone stacked juicy filters from Reach.

[timber charm]

same feeling i have from CE:A and CE og

[winter flame]

It’s muddy because the Xbox one is weak and halo has never been an especially well optimised game. With the One X halo 5 looked like the devs intended pretty much

[elfin glacier]

H2AMP's sound never fails to utterly glitch out

[timber charm]

my base xbone struggled fr

[elfin glacier]

@candid solar u wanna know what's funny

[winter flame]

343 did a good job with dynamic resolution tbh, it was quite new at the time

[elfin glacier]

H2AMP was done by Certain Affinity iirc

[timber charm]

is it rly noticeable the difference?

[winter flame]

Huge

[timber charm]

during gameplay

[winter flame]

Yes

[timber charm]

i shudve upgraded when i had the chance

[pulsar cobalt]

if i remember halo 5 beta ran 720p right and 30 fps but was struggling haha thing that was the reason they had to downgrade it

[winter flame]

Resolution and texture filtering and level of detail and anti aliasing is all improved

Yah 5 was a technically ambitious game for the time

Not ground breaking but good

[candid solar]

That's been 343i's wheelhouse to date, really.

Technical ambition for its games

[pulsar cobalt]

imagine halo 5 beta now and 4k i bet it would look fantastic

[candid solar]

Maybe we'd also get that cut city arc too

[timber charm]

wut city arc

for h5?

[candid solar]

Yeah

There was a human city arc that got cut from Halo 5. It's presumably tied to those trailers.

The all hail one.

[timber charm]

ohhh thats right

bro i legit deleted that from my memory

[candid solar]

Which, of all the arcs, that's the last one I would've cut, personally, but whatever.

[timber charm]

hmm it would thematically fit nice

given chief's h5 motive

ig which mission wud u sub out

so 343 wud have time/resources for cityarc

[candid solar]

What's amusing is, it seems Warzone got what was left.

But I'd cut Blue Team's initial mission arc.

[timber charm]

ya that was ig unnecessary

dope intro tho

[candid solar]

While the Argent Moon is one of my favorite sequences, it's also just... Kind of weird.

[timber charm]

(besides the wavy cutscene thumb)

[candid solar]

I'm working on a render now. I think it's an interesting concept.

[timber charm]

its funny i remember that mission vivd af

the others not so much

but i agree it wudnt hurt to sub it out

[candid solar]

It's going to be an Enigma-wearing Spartan looking out the back of a Halo Infinite Pelican's drop bay at 'his' Scorpion, an M820, alongside a Marine and with two M808 Scorpions on two other Pelicans in the backdrop en route to Zeta Halo. Maybe have an under-attack Infinity just barely poking into bay frame.

Give a little small infoblurb on it being one of the last M820s Infinity had.

[obsidian wyvern]

at what point in time during the battle on zeta

[timber charm]

🤌

[candid solar]

The flight from the Infinity.

[bronze breach]

20-11 last match of the day...

[candid solar]

Shortly after the evac order.

Though... I need some other models first. Damn.

... Nevermind. Might scrap the concept.

Or repurpose it a bit.

[pulsar cobalt]

you know you wanna do 1 more

[bronze breach]

Played too much today lmao I'm done. Most of my matches appeared to be breaker which I hated

Jonathon majors kang character going to be recasted?

[pulsar cobalt]

i think so yeah

its to do with his situation shame because he suits the role

[vivid terrace]

I’m feeling silly, I’m going on destiny 2

[candid solar]

k

So is the upper 'hatch' on the M820 Scorpion an access panel for repair, or for using the gun?

Emergency bourbon storage

[candid solar]

Let me in. LET ME IIIIIIIIIIIIIN

[tight remnant]

It's funny how some people thought on twitter that Ske7ch was leaving 343

but it was about his hair

[sage crown]

I’m I the only one seeing this Test - burning sky 1 thing in the store?

[lusty dragon]

No

[winter flame]

Sketch is real asset, recently in particular i noticed how in touch he is, always making sure to clarify anything his coworkers say that he knows might be misinterpreted

[regal chasm]

Show some love to the crewmate who had the guts to accompany Chief on his adventure armed with his finger gun. What a trooper !

[outer wolf]

@dreamy stirrup whats it take to get a job for 343

I'm excited about that ranked Bandit and motion tracker playlist

It's as if they listened to me 😄

[hearty jolt]

Anyone want to start a conversation?

Wait my old server name was cringe

[fickle drift]

Ranked bandit????? Why

[tight remnant]

The bandit is a great weapon

[fickle drift]

Not for ranked

[tight remnant]

Why do you think that?

[fickle drift]

It needs descope

[tight remnant]

It doesn't have a scope

I think i'm going to enjoy that playlist a lot

[fickle drift]

Which is why it shouldn't be in ranked

[tight remnant]

I don't like the battle rifle in ranked

[tight remnant]

I don't see how that's a reason

[fickle drift]

I can already imagine all the pros complaining

[steep spire]

i personally prefer BR in ranked, idk bandit feels weird on mouse but thats just me

[fickle drift]

Does it replace br starts or is it it's own playlist?

[tight remnant]

It's own playlist

[fickle drift]

Alright thats good

[obsidian wyvern]

it's the ranked slayer playlist

[cerulean kettle]

bro been sipping too many percasets ‼️😭☠️

br in ranked is beautiful

[tight remnant]

Halo 5 default ranked > Halo infinite ranked In my opinion

[bold sparrow]

Honestly yeah.

[hasty zinc]

any other game mode > literally any ranked Halo mode

[near tree]

But battle rifle...

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis' fav halo invalidates his opinions unfortunately

[hasty zinc]

heavy is the head

[cedar turret]

https://tenor.com/view/clementine-tips-gif-3551081

The best halo are tasty little orange things

[hasty zinc]

why is that person peeling that so incorrectly

[cedar turret]

There is a wrong way to peel a citrus?

Aside from using a safety razor of course

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[candid solar]

Please tell me that is not how you peel a citrus

[cedar turret]

I’m not whoever is in the gif. I personally find bite then peel is effective

[candid solar]

^ Dozen eats orange rinds confirmed

Cringe!

[obsidian wyvern]

you've failed the mission if you don't peel off the whole thing in one go

[candid solar]

I've honestly outright crushed an orange in rage because the rind was being difficult.

[cedar turret]

A: that’s not what I wrote.
B: that isn’t an orange.
C: I’m not sure rinds are edible

[candid solar]

I do not like to post anger Ls, but citrus can be frustrating.

[cedar turret]

Have you ever heard of a bergamot

[obsidian wyvern]

ngl I've never known the difference between an orange and a citrus

[candid solar]

No, and I would not like to

[cedar turret]

It’s a green orange

[candid solar]

That's just an orange that isn't ripe

[obsidian wyvern]

that gif does not contain a green orange

[candid solar]

Also the rind of an orange is edible.

[cedar turret]

Citrus fruit includes tangerines, oranges, lemons, limes, etc. oranges are just a type of citrus fruit

[candid solar]

We just don't like to eat them because they suck at ranked arena

[subtle crow]

Has anyone noticed how much the energy sword looks like a guitar?

[candid solar]

It looks like a double pronged katar.

[obsidian wyvern]

ohh

[subtle crow]

Yup. Also, the lego version looks like a wide guitar

[subtle crow]

Same with a lemon. It helps protect from heartburm

[obsidian wyvern]

don't let pins catch you saying Lego

[subtle crow]

@obsidian wyvern why

[cedar turret]

Lemons can also be used to fight the effects of tear gas

Bergamots are primarily used for Earl grey and they’re okay at flavoring some fish

[subtle crow]

@obsidian wyvern who are pins

[hasty zinc]

🧷

[obsidian wyvern]

📍

[subtle crow]

Oh. They do that to me

[obsidian wyvern]

pins is in your walls

[fickle drift]

Why is it a big deal if they mention Lego?

[subtle crow]

I'm confused about that. What correlation do puns have with lego?

[cedar turret]

They once ate an eggo made of Legos

[obsidian wyvern]

pins always corrects you if you call mega construx Lego, so I just do it on purpose

[fickle drift]

Ah.

[subtle crow]

Lol. It is the same to me. The only difference is that the pieces dont always fit

[cedar turret]

They do if you use glue

[fickle drift]

My Walmart always has the Halo sets in the bargain aisle.

[subtle crow]

But they are the same. Just like broccoli and cauliflower. They have similarities

[winter flame]

oxymoron

[subtle crow]

Lol. I cant find the same ones on Amazon as I can at DG

[winter flame]

are they the same or do they merely have similarities

nuance innit

[subtle crow]

They look alike. Lego and mega construx also look alike

[winter flame]

what about taste? do lego and mega construx taste different?

[fickle drift]

They typically fit. Mega is just usually...more flexible/lighter material.

[subtle crow]

@winter flame They do

[winter flame]

interesting

[obsidian wyvern]

mega construx had a better flavour

[subtle crow]

I also break their hands easier

[cedar turret]

But can you use them with Lincoln logs?

[subtle crow]

Compared to lego

@cedar turret yes

[cedar turret]

What about weebles?

[subtle crow]

I did not see the guilty spark. However, they both have the same taste and I find the mega construx easier to chew. The dont make my gums hurt so much

Atleast I just got notified. Fortnite literally kicked me for saying "your mom". I wasnt even being rude

The guy laughed

[forest lagoon]

The guy laughed at your mom? How rude

[candid solar]

At yo mamma

[winter flame]

i say zero tolerance on "your mom" jokes 😄

[cedar turret]

https://tenor.com/view/fat-weeble-wobble-gif-14272217

[subtle crow]

I had my name as "how big can my name get?!?!?!" And the guy said "bigger than" and I said "your mom" and I got kicked. The bot said "keep conversations friendly and appropriate"

[candid solar]

The dumbest fight I got in was caused because I made a "Yo mamma" joke that had to do with height.

Actually, second dumbest now.

I forget that the first dumbest is still the far more recent "I voiced some concerns about my own parents to a friend and he got mad"

[forest lagoon]

You got baited. Sadge

[candid solar]

(It is actually really funny)

[subtle crow]

As long as it is a joke and both you and the people involved dont care and are having fun, then let it go

[cedar turret]

Not sure tales of childhood violence is the path to take here

[candid solar]

Childhood?

[subtle crow]

I am my childhood

[candid solar]

I never said what age I was for either, lmao.

[obsidian wyvern]

your mom jokes seem to be ageless

[hasty zinc]

was probably yesterday

[subtle crow]

Based

How come dozen is a mod, yet she doesnt show up in the staff?

[candid solar]

Not based enough perhaps?

[cedar turret]

He

[forest lagoon]

I'll be honest, back in the 360 days whenever someone online insulted my mom, I just started agreeing with them. Sometimes I would get sad like and reply with "but she's passed away now" until I got some kind of apology.
All the while my mom was nearby just staring at me like "why are you like this"

[winter flame]

he's offline

[near tree]

Guys help, I think I'm stupid
What is the Halo logo? It's the Halo, right? Then why isn't it a complete circle? What's the dot in the middle? Is it a broken Halo getting ready to fire? Then what's that thing on the right side?

[hasty zinc]

[candid solar]

Your mind, trying to wrap your head around the concept.

Hey, I found out that a number divided by zero, then multiplied by zero is equal to that number

[obsidian wyvern]

where's the subtitles bro

[cedar turret]

It’s a tribute to the old

[candid solar]

I wonder what the guy who made the original Halo logo is working on nowadays.

[subtle crow]

Also, 0 ÷ 0 = 1. That is my mind

[fickle drift]

I am 100% sure half the stuff I said back in COD and Halo lobbies would have me catching a charge in certain countries today. 🤡

I still standby everything I said tho.

[subtle crow]

I miss the 360 days. Halo 4 is the best

[candid solar]

Oh my god. They made Cyberpunk Edgerunners coffee mug and coaster sets.

Smasher is the mug, Rebecca is the coaster.

That is gold.

[subtle crow]

Imma go. Ttyl

Also, do you knos who else is a mug set? MY MOM

[candid solar]

I will destroy you for making a joke about your mother.

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL NOOO

[candid solar]

I will eat my Xbox 360

[obsidian wyvern]

I imagine that's what Rebecca looked like once crushed

with blood

[candid solar]

They show you the aftermath though. She's reduced to a ribcage and a head.

[obsidian wyvern]

I was more focused on hoping the futuristic cowboy survived

[hearty jolt]

Is there anywhere in this server where I can post clips in this server? I have a couple of bot bootcamp clips just waiting in my phone gallery (and xbox captures) and i don't know where to put them. Can anyone help?

[hasty zinc]

I have never seen one of these ever

English Pouter Pigeon

[hearty jolt]

Damn

[candid solar]

Lovely pidge

[hearty jolt]

That's a tall pigeon

[hasty zinc]

Wild

[candid solar]

Pigeons are so cute

[hearty jolt]

I agree

[candid solar]

Australia has crested pigeons

Someone messages me that every time I respond to him.

:c

[hearty jolt]

They shot the chicken with a shotgun after saying "givr me tendies"

It was a rooster

[near tree]

The heck is that?

[hearty jolt]

Pigeon

[molten pelican]

my bad, I was drunk

[near tree]

I'm still lost
Am I thinking about it too hard?

[hearty jolt]

😨

[molten pelican]

it was a tasty chicken

[hearty jolt]

😨😨

I left that gc as soon as i saw it

[molten pelican]

oh that wasnt me that was my brother

[hearty jolt]

I fear you.

[molten pelican]

no im spork

[hearty jolt]

Nuh uh

[molten pelican]

yuh hu

[pulsar cobalt]

Did I read that right

[smoky token]

unfortunately yes

it was an issue on twitter for a while, people would spam posts with it

[pulsar heron]

think we should move on from talking about things like that

[pulsar cobalt]

I 100% agree

[fickle drift]

Nice weather

[pulsar heron]

we just got a very nice series of thunderstorms pass overhead

i'd post the met office doppler but i'd rather not doxx myself

[pulsar cobalt]

I just heard some myself but it wasn't for long

[pulsar heron]

very bright, very loud. maybe 2 miles out from here

[fossil skiff]

It’s rained every day here for a week or so. My favorite time of year.

[pulsar heron]

we really needed the rain to come through after this heatwave. i'm still recovering from heat exhaustion and i was getting sick of 40% humidity

[fossil skiff]

Yeah, heat is pretty brutal. Especially for you guys since it’s abnormal.

[pulsar heron]

checked my monitor and its shot up to 55% currently. even that's low, even for this time of year

and yeah, 30°c is pretty unheard of here. last few years have been hitting it regularly though.

[fossil skiff]

This time of year the heat lightning comes around. It’s very beautiful.

Will never forget standing at the beach at 2 am watching heat lightning.

[forest lagoon]

Heat lightning?

[pulsar heron]

just had to look "heat lightning" up, it's for lightning you can see but not hear due to its distance. fascinating stuff

[forest lagoon]

I didn't know there was a name for that

[fossil skiff]

That’s what I’ve always heard it be known as but yeah what Tora said. Just a far off thunderstorm.

[pulsar heron]

neither did i. i assume it gets the name from happening when its relatively warm so there's less wide-spread storm from the viewers perspective

[forest lagoon]

I just always called them lightning storms since it would be just a light show

[cedar turret]

I like when it's purple

[pulsar heron]

kinda just makes me realise how big america must be in order for that to be such a common thing to witness (based on the search, it seems to be a common term)

[fickle drift]

It's very common in the summer/beach towns.

[cedar turret]

The UK (both islands) are smaller than california.

Which is just a fraction of the continenal us.

[pulsar heron]

watching storms roll over the channel in kent was always such a pretty sight

[forest lagoon]

It helps to think of each state as its own country in a similar way the European Union is made up of countries that are part of it

[pulsar heron]

oh, yeah, i know in my head that the uk is tiny compared to america, it just doesnt scale in my head how big it really is

it always bewilders me when some americans talk of driving an hour to the next town over. i used to sit on the bus for an hour and a half to get to college, but it was maybe 20 minutes tops to drive there

[fossil skiff]

Meanwhile in Texas: you drive for a day and you’re…still in Texas.

[fickle drift]

Where I am, it is two hours to every other major city in the state.

[cedar turret]

cross country road trips usually run several days. I went on one with two lads I went to HS with the summer after I got my license my freshman year in college. There are countless hours of just nothing out there. We also have terrible or nonexistant public transit if your don't live in a major city.

[pulsar heron]

it's one of the things that scares me about going to america honestly. vast nothingness unless you're somewhere big (and even then, your cities are massive too)

[fossil skiff]

Family lives in a rural area in the mountains. It’s easily 45 minutes to an hour to reach the next “large” city

Though that’s mainly due to terrain…

[fickle drift]

Unless you're in the mountains or plains area, there's always something to see on a road trip. And the mountains with nothing there are pretty so...

[fossil skiff]

Smoky Mountains. Rolling hills for as far as the eye can see.

[fickle drift]

Like I'm in Columbus, if I drive to Cincinnati...there's stuff everywhere. There's small towns, shopping centers, amusement parks....in between. Same going to Cleveland or Toledo.

Where I'm originally from in the south, growing up in the Applachian Mountains, yeah you can go a few hours without a lot of stuff but it's pretty, especially in the fall.

[cedar turret]

If you’re just visiting your not going to be driving through Nebraska, Texas, Arizona etc. so the great wide open isn’t really a realistic thing to fear

And most major cities have passable public transit and semi reliable cabs

[fickle drift]

Florida would be the only state I could see a tourist driving through and there's no shortage of stuff there.

[fossil skiff]

I forgot where this was taken but yeah, lovely sights.

[forest lagoon]

Population wise, rough figures from Google:
California - 40,223,504
Which is close to Poland - 41,026,067

The state I'm in
Louisiana - 4,590,241
compared to Ireland - 4,937,786

[fossil skiff]

Actually I think that was in Tennessee. Or maybe North Carolina.

[cedar turret]

Less talking about population and more pure land mass

[fickle drift]

Are you near any of the hurricane prone areas?

[cedar turret]

The coast?

[forest lagoon]

A wonderful target that they like to pivot west or east and we dodge the brunt

But everything around us by two - four hours has devastation

[fossil skiff]

It’s freaky how this happens.

It will be on a straight path..and then just deviate north or south and miss us.

[fickle drift]

Well, I'm happy you're safe. I've seen the damage down there the last few years, it's tragic.

[forest lagoon]

So many times we were the eye of the cone of uncertainty then right before we make the decision to evac, it pivots

[fickle drift]

Outside of work or family, have you thought about leaving the area? I constantly think about moving to FL since I was born there, but I don't want my stuff to end up in the ocean...

[fossil skiff]

We literally got 20 minutes up* I-95 one time and I managed to convince mom that it had shifted again so we didn’t need to leave

[forest lagoon]

Nope. Because of all the natural disasters, we get at least three days warning and are fine roughing it for a week or two while we wait on electricity to come back

[fickle drift]

I'd have too much anxiety for all that.

[forest lagoon]

There's been a few times where the decision to stay was smart because it ended up shifting to where we were going to evac to

[fossil skiff]

That’s a yikes right there

[fickle drift]

Like even here, because of wind and tornadoes we have to have storm rated roof shingles and stuff, I'd hate to see insurance premiums and flood zone requirements.

[fossil skiff]

Tornadoes do not enjoy those at all.

[forest lagoon]

Oh, our home insurance went up by $700 this year and there's no company that wants to insure or even give quotes out because they don't want to be here anymore

[cedar turret]

You’ll want to upgrade your home insurance to cover being crushed by grasshoppers

[forest lagoon]

Are you... Planning an invasion of some kind?

[fossil skiff]

Pretty sure that could fall under freak accident section or something…brb seeing if that actually exists

[forest lagoon]

Try "acts of god" in your search. That's a term I remember seeing for that lol
