[shrewd mulch]

Guess ill just boot up the stream and take a shower

[candid solar]

Halo fans don't take showers

[shrewd mulch]

Guess im not taking a shower

[vapid siren]

Is it the only stream up

[shrewd mulch]

Another playthrough of the h3 campaign woo

[bronze breach]

no, there is multiple streams

[vapid siren]

Theres the issue

[hasty zinc]

no he's asking you

if yoiu have more than one up

[bronze breach]

i logged out and in again

it worked

[hasty zinc]

sick

[bronze breach]

oh been watching 1 stream

my bad

[vapid siren]

Aight

[bronze breach]

aint watching mint blitz

didnt even know he was a partnered streamer for hcs

damn guyblaze gone places since his days on the gears of war scene

[hallow pollen]

Why does the drop for Chimera not work?

[hasty zinc]

it does

refresh or something

log in and back out

also make sure you're not watching the official halo stream

has to be a partner

[pulsar cobalt]

I refreshed the page and it worked

and make sure its not muted on the actual stream only mute it on the tab

if its muted on the stream then you do not get progress

[bronze breach]

Tactical modalities is a good visor to go with covenant frontline

[candid solar]

God, they really need to up the points for infected kills.

[bronze breach]

https://i.imgur.com/Vtu4ckZ.png

perfeect visor

except the pattern ofc

[candid solar]

Eh

[hasty zinc]

I think it blends too much

I like the visor to stand out

or rather seem like a separate piece

[candid solar]

Blackpool maybe?

[jovial oracle]

Hey, any way for me to get better at the game? ||stupid question ik but i cant seem to hit any shots and die like 23 times per match with 2-3 kills, not going well for me rn||

Halo infinite btw

[hasty zinc]

well I would suggest bot bootcamp but...

do the weapon drills

try to 3-star all of them

[bronze breach]

nevermind, found a better one, deep ocean - https://i.imgur.com/tEmAo6D.png

closer to the hex pattern

[hallow pollen]

Nope, still doesnt work (Im watching Scumps stream)

[hasty zinc]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

try another stream

eli_x

[bronze breach]

login and logout

im watching his stream too

[obsidian wyvern]

i dislike the dm update

[bronze breach]

[obsidian wyvern]

oh i can hide it

nvm thought i couldnt

[hallow pollen]

Yup, Eli's stream works, Scump's doesnt, thanks

[bronze breach]

kitsune, do what i do, hide and shoot if you play btb, if enemy pushing to your base, run like your life depended on it

[jovial oracle]

Also, is there any way to make my spartan look a bit more feminine to suit me ||cringe ik, pls dont judge||, bought some cosmetics but ideally looking for something f2p or cheap

[obsidian wyvern]

you can change the body type if you havent already

[jovial oracle]

I just take any vehicle i can get my hands on and kamikaze, it’s just fun (especially with friends)

[vapid siren]

Well that explains the dying

[jovial oracle]

Ik

But even when i try, like in a super fiesta, i only get around 2-5 kills

[obsidian wyvern]

like aegis said

do the weapon drills, or go into training against spartan level bots

[jovial oracle]

Thinking that it might be that my friend that i often play with is at a completely different skill level than me

[vapid siren]

Are you familiar with the nuances and such of the various guns

[jovial oracle]

Nope

[obsidian wyvern]

weapon drills

[vapid siren]

Do you know the general spawns and locations for power items and positions

[jovial oracle]

Before this, the only halo game i ever played was halo spartan assault a long time ago (my childhood)

[jovial oracle]

Decently

[vapid siren]

So were effectively starting from scratch

[jovial oracle]

Only played abt 30 matches total of halo infinite at all

[jovial oracle]

Pretty much, sowwi

[obsidian wyvern]

dont tell me youve got a normal weapons list too hawk

[vapid siren]

No

[jovial oracle]

Ye, but it hardly does anything

Also who the heck keeps changing my server profile -3-

[candid solar]

They're in your walls

[jovial oracle]

Who?

[candid solar]

The changer

Get them out

[jovial oracle]

How?

Burn it with fire?

[vapid siren]

Well beyond pink armor and cat ears thats about it

[tight remnant]

Wearing half a ton of Titanium A and a titanium undersuit when you're a big soldier tends to do that.

[candid solar]

No, your Spartan cannot have a dump truck.

[obsidian wyvern]

halo 5 says otherwise

[candid solar]

Gross.

Y'know, there's websites for that sort of degeneracy. You don't need to boot up Halo to see unrealistic armor.

[vapid siren]

[obsidian wyvern]

wtf are you on ab

didnt they remove the free trials

[steady jolt]

Think I can still log in and fix that

Disabled it for now

[bronze breach]

do i continue playing infinite or call it a day lol, been playing since 2pm

[round laurel]

I got a headache just from reading that.

[bronze breach]

[round laurel]

I'd say call it a day lol.

[bronze breach]

yeah, otherwise i will flip out like earlier

[obsidian wyvern]

watch the twitch stream w us

[round laurel]

Although you're probably going to have BTB in your dreams tonight.

[bronze breach]

ooh, apparently my first match was actually 12:30

my bad

[obsidian wyvern]

..almost 10 hours?

[bronze breach]

apparently so! i told you weekdays I play 1-2 hrs, weekend usually 5 hrs+

[obsidian wyvern]

i was unaware today was the weekend

[bronze breach]

since I dont have work this week, i just been playing infinite lol, as I got nothing going on in my life xD

I dont work fridays, so weekend starts from Friday usually

for me anyway

[elfin glacier]

@obsidian wyvern i need a weapon embed

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/articles/2023/05/how-xbox-research-accomplished-worldwide-virtual-playtesting-with-parsec/

[obsidian wyvern]

what am i embeddign

[elfin glacier]

The link

[obsidian wyvern]

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/articles/2023/05/how-xbox-research-accomplished-worldwide-virtual-playtesting-with-parsec/

[elfin glacier]

To that end, let’s see how Xbox Research leveraged Parsec, Unity’s leading cloud-based remote desktop solution, to scale their virtual playtesting to people across the world by providing nearly zero-latency, high-fidelity connections to physical Xbox machines located in Redmond, WA.

After successfully leveraging Parsec to playtest Halo Infinite, Xbox Research deployed Parsec to start playtesting with the next Age of Empires release. The initial round of tests proved that Parsec’s seamless gameplay experience produced meaningful user research.

Tldr Xbox used a remote solution for testing Halo Infinite and Age of Empires 4

[tight remnant]

I KNEW IT! It was Heian

[bronze breach]

Hope 343 do color variants of the covenant frontline, it is by far the best designed coating

[steady jolt]

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they were no longer able to bring gamers into the labs.
Oh man, this ones hurts.

Will never forget arriving in Seattle, grabbing a beer and then Jessie telling us the summit was canceled. Fun few days sight seeing though

Not getting to play was roooough, but much better to be safe 💚

[bronze breach]

labs as in QA labs I assume?

[cedar turret]

That’s quitter talk. Which is more important survival and the safety of your friends, family, and coworkers or playing a video game? The game obviously

[steady jolt]

Not sure about the ones in the article, for me is was 343's playtest studios

[steady jolt]

You're right, gaming - no matter the cost

[bronze breach]

Time to quit both my jobs and play infinite btb full time.

[near tree]

Interesting
Thanks

[cedar turret]

Just like when I visited the cdc and the 'guards and police' wanted me to stop playing keep away with small pox vials. cowards.

[steady jolt]

It's only bad if you drop it

[bronze breach]

What I fear with these esports events about safety of the teams. One Gears esports pro player got killed.

Cant remember for what nor how it happened

Found it.

The player got shot and killed in front of his home

[steady jolt]

...

[bronze breach]

Kind of scared to go to the US because of the gun stuff lol tbh

[cedar turret]

I doubt that was event related.

[bronze breach]

Oh no, this was last year, not an event related but something must aggravated it. My bad for the assumption

Because of gun violence, I'm too scared to go the US lol

[cedar turret]

While that must have been a tragedy, any events would have safety precautions in place and this isn't the place to discuss that kind of thing.

[bronze breach]

Oh my bad. Apologies.

Stckr, what time do you usually go to sleep when esports events happens?

I assume you moderate the entire time until stream ends

[steady jolt]

I used to moderate streams back when it was Mixer

Now I just watch. I tried moderating Twitch and just noped out of it

Mixer was way better

[amber mirage]

I miss it

[steady jolt]

I usually watch until the end, whatever the time

[bronze breach]

Ahh I see. Yeah, it was. Shame its gone.

[amber mirage]

Mixer felt a lot more personal

[bronze breach]

Likely they couldnt compete with twitch

[steady jolt]

Mixer staff were great, the engineering team was awesome. Had the potential to build something great, keep the trolls out. Alas, plug pulled

[amber mirage]

Facebook Gaming came onto the scene and then they noped out

[cedar turret]

It was a lot easier. I have trouble keeping up with twitch

[bronze breach]

Wasnt mixer also better at real time streaming than twitch too?

At the time

[steady jolt]

FTL was so good

The latency was almost nonexistent

[sour turtle]

We needed mixer as a competitor so twitch wouldn't just start doing whatever they want at the expense of streamers and viewers.

If only we could have kept it around

[pulsar cobalt]

yay! got all 3 coatings now to get the rest when they become available

[bronze breach]

Heaven forbid if Microsoft bought it from Amazon

[amber mirage]

After MS shut down Mixer, I don't see them looking to get back into the game streaming space.

I also don't see Amazon wanting to sell it off.

[obsidian wyvern]

twitch is so full of bad decisions

[smoky token]

didn’t they sell mixer

[amber mirage]

Shut down

Made a deal with Facebook Gaming

[smoky token]

i swear they sold it to facebook

yeah

[bronze breach]

Mixer was sold?

[amber mirage]

No

[sour turtle]

Nah it wasn't

[steady jolt]

Wasn't sold

[amber mirage]

Shut down alongside MS and Facebook making a deal

[bronze breach]

Oh monetized channels to join similar programs

I.e fb gaming

[amber mirage]

Some of the details around it https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53142676

[bronze breach]

Feel real bad for those who built the platform, for only it to be shutdown

[sour turtle]

I forgot ninja existed

[bronze breach]

Must have been a big bummer to see their hard work gone like that

[pulsar cobalt]

Mixer was so good

[elfin glacier]

hoping that Microsoft doesn't start reading from the google playbook...

RIP https://killedbygoogle.com/

[balmy plover]

Mixer should have stayed. Sad times

[vapid siren]

He'll show up for a random halo tournament and then disappear again

[elfin glacier]

wtf rare official server vorked

[obsidian wyvern]

been here a few times today

[elfin glacier]

ok well this is the first time i saw em and that's the only thing that matters

[smoky token]

holy crap lois

[bronze breach]

I need to be careful, twitch keeps crashing on me

[elfin glacier]

reality starts and ends with what i percieve

[sour turtle]

[molten pelican]

hello there

[obsidian wyvern]

this is kinda funny https://twitter.com/VGC_News/status/1674744644448444416

ugh i actually hate elon

[faint mantle]

Can't hate Elon if you never use Twitter!

[bronze breach]

Doesnt tweets embed anymore here?

[obsidian wyvern]

no i read something about him tryna stop that

and then one of the embed websites also mentioned it

[bronze breach]

Smh

[bronze breach]

Why, I dont understand his logic

[molten pelican]

as you use twitter

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

everything has gone downhill since he took over

[sour turtle]

Lack of API, they will start doing link scrubbing and it's going to be even costlier for Elon. He's shooting himself in the foot lmao

[elfin glacier]

bro it's worse

[bronze breach]

And then other sites like reddit following suit

[obsidian wyvern]

but hey we might get a download button for videos finally

[elfin glacier]

twitter went full regwall

[obsidian wyvern]

but probably have to pay $8 for that

[elfin glacier]

no longer can i lurk and i don't want to stay logged into my 5 sockpuppet accounts

ohyeah saw that too

[bronze breach]

Best designed coating yet, hope they will be other color variants

[pulsar cobalt]

Imagine all the other colours

[bronze breach]

All the elite colors pls!

[pulsar cobalt]

Yes

[smoky token]

you all will never believe what game I’m playing right now

[sour turtle]

Put it back in the landfill.

[cedar turret]

Try yar’s revenge

[sour turtle]

The 2600 has to be the worst gaming experience I've ever had

[pulsar cobalt]

@bronze breach Imagine the colours on the weapon coatings

[candid solar]

That's generally an exaggeration. It's more common than other places but not worth factoring that into not wanting to go somewhere.

Generally speaking, those are rarities and thus tragedies; Outside of some really bad spots in the country that aren't exactly tourist traps in the first place.

But discussing that too heavily edges into political conversations, sooooooooo.

[candid solar]

God of War

[north jasper]

we have a terrible gun culture vs other places it’s not the first time i’ve heard peeps from other countries say they are concerned

[sacred inlet]

umm guys how do i remove his reactions

[north jasper]

just be safe and know the laws where u are

[sacred inlet]

i accidently clicked something

[silk hedge]

Does anyone know how the Twitch check-in code thingy works?

[steady jolt]

We're not bringing this conversation back up again

I'm not sure why it was even brought back when staff asked to move on

[north jasper]

right, sorry

[bronze breach]

i think we should drop the topic, its not to place to discuss

my bad for bringing it up!

[candid solar]

I didn't scroll down.

[steady jolt]

It was the message directly after it

[obsidian wyvern]

sounds like a you problem

[pulsar cobalt]

343 we can't give you elites but the best we can do is give you there colours 😂

[bronze breach]

watch main stream for two hours then click on claim which will auto claim on halo waypoint and will be added to your game inventory. Then watch the co-streamer stream for the chimera for 2 hrs and do the same thing

you need to go to the drop inventory page to click claim fyi

[silk hedge]

Thanks!

[candid solar]

Yes, and I am informing you that I did not read it.

Alas, I do not have a time machine to warn myself.

[bronze breach]

isnt this shade of blue associated with team envyus as well?

[obsidian wyvern]

wonder how many are hcs

all of them lol

[bronze breach]

i see you got 3 alarms lol

[obsidian wyvern]

nah that's 3 as in the network provider

[candid solar]

Alarms are for silly people

[obsidian wyvern]

wait maybe you're right

[bronze breach]

oh lmao

man doesnt know his own phone...

[pulsar cobalt]

😂

[obsidian wyvern]

idek why I still have my school alarm

[bronze breach]

[pulsar cobalt]

Revenant thought he still had school

[obsidian wyvern]

I wake up anyway because my brother's run around the house shouting at each other

[pulsar heron]

loving the ms rewards alarm. had a shortcut that would bug me every morning to do my ms rewards

[pulsar cobalt]

Pain

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it's my daily reminder so I don't lose my streak

[pulsar heron]

i have an... unsettling number of alarms, both enabled and disabled

i think last time i checked i have over 100 alarms total

[obsidian wyvern]

I had to clear so many ages ago, it was all just redundant alarms I would set for the same purpose instead of reusing

[bronze breach]

I have 2 alarms. 1 for weekday Mon-Thursday, where I wake up at 6am, to charge my phone then fall asleep until 7am to eat breakfast and head off to train station at 7.30am

Then saturday and sunday, where I set alarm for 3am and then go to work at 3.45am

[obsidian wyvern]

1 alarm works for you? 😞

[bronze breach]

I think I have to quit the supermarket job now because my spine hurts since yesterday.

I think the heavy lifting it's taken a toll on me out of nowhere

[pulsar heron]

i have alarms ranging from every 30 minutes to every 5 minutes between 2am and 12, i have about 8 medication alarms, a few leftover alarms from when i was still working, an alarm for duolingo, and a couple alarms to tell me to go to sleep (which are disabled... hence why i'm still awake :p)

[obsidian wyvern]

can you not switch to some other job in there, like basic shelf stocking or smthn

[obsidian wyvern]

the 2am to 12 is uhhh.. what

[bronze breach]

Nah u fortunately, I been contracted to work produce department, no one is going to switch with me lol

[obsidian wyvern]

rip

[bronze breach]

Thought I'd last another 4 years

Coming up to my 6 year work anniversary

[obsidian wyvern]

become fork lift certified

[bronze breach]

Too much effort lol.

[obsidian wyvern]

for supermarket isles lol

wait so you work at the back or is like big items inside the store

[bronze breach]

We use pump trucks to take out the boards

[round laurel]

How heavy are the boxes?

[bronze breach]

10-15kg

Potatoes and bananas are the heaviest

[pulsar heron]

well normally i was waking up between 5-9am (sometimes later) depending on whether i was working, but sometimes when my dad goes out early truck driving he invites me along, so i prepared a bunch of alarms for then, which could mean waking up anywhere from 2-5am :p

[bronze breach]

50 crates per board and we have 8 boards of produce

So 2 people to work 400 crates within 4 hrs before store opens at 8am

[obsidian wyvern]

that's nice of you to tag along with him, especially at those times of night

[pulsar heron]

that's impressive work, i give you credit for that

[bronze breach]

It's taken a toll on me now, I hope I get better within 2 weeks before I go back to work, otherwise I will have to resign.

I only kept this job as my paralegal role isnt paying enough

And thank you!

[sturdy hedge]

weird twitch isn;t registering any time watched for halo for its drop

[bronze breach]

Try log in and log out. Or if you have multiple streams open, close one

[sturdy hedge]

hopefully that works

[pulsar heron]

also dont have the stream muted, ive heard that can prevent it tracking

[sturdy hedge]

seriously? that's just annoying, eh i'll just leave it running on my pc while i do something else

[pulsar cobalt]

have the tab muted

[sturdy hedge]

thats what i did

[pulsar cobalt]

Maybe refresh it ?

[sturdy hedge]

just did now

well if it works i'll find out very soon

[queen remnant]

The tab mutted still tracks the thing

Just make sure the stream itself is not mutted and all good

[sturdy hedge]

turns out opera gx did an automatic wipe for logins

[pulsar cobalt]

Opera man awful browser haha

[fickle drift]

Opera is always weird when leaving twitch tabs open, I use chrome or Firefox to avoid problems.

[sturdy hedge]

have multiple browsers for different things i'm not going to touch chrome and firefox doesn't agree with some sites

still working on a work around for twitch's excessive ads

[obsidian wyvern]

there's a specific twitch adblocker that always works but after reinstalling opera, I couldn't find it again

[queen remnant]

Go Firefox

[sturdy hedge]

new update messed it all up for my existing blockers

[pulsar cobalt]

I use edge

[fickle drift]

Edge is surprisingly pretty good.

[obsidian wyvern]

I hate all browsers equally

[queen remnant]

I don't use anything that goes with chronium in general, so basically the option is Firefox

[pulsar cobalt]

Edge is the best one though

but if i was to use a other browser it would be firefox

[obsidian wyvern]

edge has it's problems

[queen remnant]

Still uses chronium

[pulsar cobalt]

I know edge uses chronium

[fickle drift]

Chrome and edge are the only two browsers that can automatically use my apple passwords since they have built in plugins for them. And that way I don’t have to migrate password tools…

[obsidian wyvern]

idk about other browser's but opera gx has a download data from other installed browser options so it downloads all your saved passwords too

[fickle drift]

Only if you store them on the browser

[obsidian wyvern]

do you not?

[fickle drift]

Mine are cloud based because I use apple passwords

Nope

I also clear my browsers automatically upon closing.

[obsidian wyvern]

idk I don't trust anything outside of the browser directly

[fickle drift]

I’ve been using iCloud for years. It’s just force of habit now and having a windows based PC, edge and chrome have iCloud plugins to use my passwords and it works okay for me.

And things I save on there will show up on my MacBook or Mini

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I assume that's made by apple

[fickle drift]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

fair

it's just the third party ones I don't trust at all

[fickle drift]

Yeah I’d never use third party tools lol

[pulsar heron]

i never use browser saves anymore, i just manually look up my passwords saved in apple keychain when i need them

[timid crane]

I have all my passwords saved in my phone notes

[obsidian wyvern]

I really only store passwords for sites I don't really care much about, like idk my cinema account

[pulsar heron]

actually, tell a lie, i have the account number for my student finance england account saved on my laptop browser but not the correct password.

[pulsar cobalt]

Or you just have a password book or something

[obsidian wyvern]

important ones are stored in a notebook and hidden in my room

[pulsar heron]

i used to do this thing where my important saved accounts would have an outdated password in there instead, but it got confusing

[obsidian wyvern]

I hope those have triple security lol

[sturdy hedge]

i have a pocket notebook for important accounts and passwords but i save the non-essential accounts to website

[regal chasm]

I unironically kinda want to have an rfid chip implanted in my hand so I could store passwords in it.

[fickle drift]

I have like 600+ passwords so no way am I manually writing that out and half of those places make you update them every few months and nope. I do have a print out of all my passwords tho.

[obsidian wyvern]

that'd be kinda funny if it wasn't confusing to you

[pulsar heron]

my gf wants this too, i think it's a super neat idea

[regal chasm]

I'd probably throw a rick roll on it too to mess with people.

[pulsar heron]

it was mostly confusing when haveibeenpwned would report a data breach but i couldnt be sure if the dump had my actual password or not

[pulsar cobalt]

I wish i could have a chip so i don't forget things after 5 mins haha

[obsidian wyvern]

600??

[pulsar cobalt]

My memory like a gold fish haha

[obsidian wyvern]

searching everyone up in class and laughing at whoever got flagged was so funny for no reason

[regal chasm]

Just checked and I was pwned apparently lol.

[obsidian wyvern]

all of mine have been safe so far

[fickle drift]

Subs, emails, business, domains, insurance, work, movies, forums, social media, patreons, 3D websites, banks, credit cards, shopping websites… it adds up

[pulsar heron]

i avoided having so much to remember by coming up with a formula to remember each site's unique password. (this is not a real password format of mine, this is just an example) you can do something like "oh, this is for my main xbox account, xbox is green so i'll use the word green in here", then for something like youtube you could replace green with red (so long as you add some other entropy elsewhere too. dont make it too easy for people to guess)

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I do that too

[fickle drift]

Mine are a bunch of random letters apple came up with

[obsidian wyvern]

have a constant, then something linked to the website or whatever

[pulsar heron]

i like to refer people to that one xkcd comic about passwords. they dont have to be random, they just have to be hard to crack and hard to guess with basic information about you, but easy for you to remember

[obsidian wyvern]

tempted to use those sometimes

[pulsar heron]

exactly this, yes

(the comic i was referring to)

[regal chasm]

I use medication names personally. They get really lenghty tho.

[fickle drift]

I’ll be honest, between depression and the meds making me forgetful, no way would that work for me now.

If apple ever gets hacked, Godspeed to me.

[regal chasm]

Own nothing and there will be nothing to steal from you 🧠

[obsidian wyvern]

aye

[wide sable]

Playing MCC I realized something

[pulsar heron]

i have a couple of formats which i cycle between as passwords need replacing, and i try to keep each important thing on its own "round" of the cycle to reduce the likelihood of a shared password format* granting access to my everything

[wide sable]

Playing MCC I realized… they COULD have gotten Noble 6 off and back to the ship on time

[obsidian wyvern]

it's so tempting to use a shared password for simplicity but I have to hold myself back

[pulsar heron]

if you mean six could've gotten to the ship, yeah, he was right there. but he stayed behind so the ship could actually leave without being obliterated

[regal chasm]

You could just randomly type in anything as a password and use the Forgot my password procedure to login again.

[obsidian wyvern]

effort

[pulsar heron]

the most secure method, obviously

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll never forget the time we saw our computer science teachers password and it was just School123

[regal chasm]

I just call Bill Gate everytime i need to check my Email.

[pulsar heron]

i actually did do this for a while with one of my government accounts but that was only because the password requirements ruined all my existing formats

[wide sable]

No I mean after

[regal chasm]

Even worst when they require a bunch of characters and you use that account maybe once every 2 years.

[wide sable]

I mean, with how slow the ending pelican flew vs how fast they could actually go..

[obsidian wyvern]

sometimes I sit there for 30 mins trying to set a password because it doesn't work with my format either, really annoys me

[pulsar heron]

at my last job we would frequently reset users passwords to [day of week][number of month/day] and they never ever reset it it was so frustrating

[obsidian wyvern]

my dad's workplace does that monthly which I guess is a lot more manageable

[pulsar heron]

i'd get a call from a customer months later and they'd do that thing where they say their password out loud as they type it and id have to sit there quietly like... this is the password i gave you six months ago over an unsecured email line, and practically begged you to change it.

[obsidian wyvern]

lmfao

[pulsar heron]

oh no i mean this was when when we issued manual resets on request. we did eventually start doing a regular reset of passwords but if they missed the window to reset it themselves they'd have to call us to get a new one issued. so all it did was increase the password reset calls

all forgotten password resets had to come through us on the support desk since the accounts were supposed to be deemed sensitive. nobody using the software actually had any understanding of what that meant though

i remember when we introduced 2 factor authentication and we had people calling up unhappy that it meant they couldnt share licences anymore, which just resulted in us telling them they violated the contract and them hanging up

[hasty zinc]

we recently implemented an AI bot into our teams so people can reset their own passwords

it's been uh... interesting to say the least

[silk hedge]

Which one would the Co-Streamer be?

[pulsar heron]

i can sympathise big time with that 🫡

[hasty zinc]

woot!

[pulsar heron]

nice

[ivory sandal]

Guys

my halo keeps crashing w

I get into a game, the game crashes

Blame Elon, again

[forest fog]

Quick question, do u get anything for hitting onyx rank? Or na?

[candid solar]

You get the choice of soup or salad

Personally, I'm a sucker for Caesar.

[cedar turret]

soup

[candid solar]

I had a decent salad earlier. Honey chipotle salmon in a spicy caesar salad with fresh tomato.

Because I put tomato in my salad because I'm an idiot.

... I guess at that point it stops being a Caesar salad.

Just a salad that happens to use Caesar dressing.

"Jit"?

Annnnd slang indicates literally all versions of "jit" are insults. Okay then.

[reef token]

stop using grammar bro this ain't facebook

[hallow pollen]

Why cant I find a match in Infinite? Are the servers down or something?

[misty spindle]

no clue but had 2 leavers in a row in ranked (apparently 1 said in DMs his game "froze") so its possible

[safe dawn]

Sometimes peoples games do jsut straight up self destruct

[molten pelican]

it was I

[cedar turret]

Said the sparrow with my little arrow

[molten pelican]

isnt that an old poem?

[vital hinge]

hey, im strugling to find a match rn, if any of yall who lives in usa wants to join me feel free to send an invite

playing from south america

[cedar turret]

Who saw him die?
I, said the fly,
With my teeny eye
I saw him die

[vital hinge]

20 mins waiting and i cant find a match

[smoky token]

which country

[molten pelican]

no not him!

[molten pelican]

for a sec thought that was the no ping pop up but im safe we good

[vital hinge]

ill be at btb vc if u want to join me

[smoky token]

i’m not joining but what country are you trying to play in

[vital hinge]

so why bother?

[regal chasm]

I'm sorry but Halo is not longer my favorite game. Trepang2 is just absolute high impact violence.

[molten pelican]

how is that even related to the question XD

[molten pelican]

simple question, they are just trying to help :/

[vital hinge]

the only way yall could help is playing with me, cuz whenever im playing with ppl who lives in usa we find matches in a matter of seconds, but if i play alone it takes a f eternity

[molten pelican]

hm thats odd

[vital hinge]

and i can only play infection, which i`ve enough playing

[molten pelican]

common issue rn?

[vital hinge]

nah, it started when this game stared dying

its not popular where i live, ppl are occupied playing something else with more free content

[alpine mantle]

now halo infinate core is now free for some reason

[smoky token]

like, the base game?

[cedar turret]

Mp always has been

[alpine mantle]

i never bought campain i might buy some future multiplyer is half fine ragdolls go do it barrl roll chance

[cedar turret]

MP is still free

[vital hinge]

and thats why this game is full of microtransactions, i ll rather pay full price and get free content, but you do you.

[hearty flame]

The game has an honestly good amount of content you can get for just $20. My problem is that the store cosmetics are massively overpriced.

[vital hinge]

i wish finish the campaign on laso would give me anything special but nah have some colors and sticks

[hearty flame]

Like, I'm pretty sure you can finish every Battle Pass for $20 (I'm not sure if they retroactively added coins to the Season 1 pass)

[vital hinge]

i aint paying on dollars me boy, where i live things are expensive as hell

its fine for yall, for me its rough

[vital hinge]

and not because u finished on laso, but cuz u went on youtube and found some chest locations

[hearty flame]

I don't think anyone here is going to support anything about the campaign rewards

[vital hinge]

i bet they will

ppl do be defending things like this sometimes

[hearty flame]

But unfortunately nothing about that will change because the campaign is no longer in development

[vital hinge]

but hey, mp is free bro

go play some!, oh no, i CANT

[hearty flame]

Campaign no longer being in development has little to do with MP being free

In all honesty Campaign no longer being in development more likely has to do with the fact that Infinite came out much too late for Halo to be as popular as it once was

[vital hinge]

it does, who makes more money?

develop a whole campaing or keep making some new cosmetics?

[hearty flame]

I'm like 90% sure Campaign was cut because the entire Infinite team was downsized and campaign content post-release isn't really necessary. Like, yeah, it doesn't make money, but it looks like Halo can't afford much of anything right now

[vital hinge]

why should we as microsoft bother to pay for 343 develop a dlc if we could only be chillin and makin some money on mp

but it looks like Halo can't afford much of anything right now

its microsoft

bro

lol

[hearty flame]

Yeah let's let this billion dollar tech company pour money into one game that could be losing massive amounts of money

[vital hinge]

thats it!, now youre thinking as a corpo, and thats why we aint getting anything lorewise they even cut the mp lore cutscenes

[hearty flame]

Because Microsoft's only focus is one game and not the multi-billion dollar acquisition they're doing right now, or the most-used PC OS in the world they need to keep updating, or the entire other part of Xbox that needs to be run

[vital hinge]

cuz they dont make money

[dreamy stirrup]

i think you're just beating a dead horse now

🙂

[hearty flame]

TL;DR Business shouldn't want to make money I guess

[dreamy stirrup]

so let's move along

[hasty zinc]

do I want to pay $7 to power wash Bikini Bottom?

[hearty flame]

10-4 Sam

[dreamy stirrup]

it's already under water

why does it need washing?!

but yes

[hearty flame]

Moss

[vital hinge]

damn.... lol

sry didnt mean to hurt yall feeling, ill be quiet

[alpine mantle]

whats next power wash halo to clean worthog and palican

[smoky token]

how do they take baths or showers underwater

how do they start fires underwater

how does the bread of the Krusty Krab not get soggy

questions, questions

(also, like… algae)

[elfin glacier]

I will cask of amontillado you

[dreamy stirrup]

is that a threat or a promise?

[hearty flame]

Before you answer, don't make a girl a promise you know you can't keep

[elfin glacier]

Uhhhh promise?

Cask of amontillado themed escape room

[hearty flame]

What's the cast of amarillo

[elfin glacier]

...i want to try an escape room sometime

[cedar turret]

Poor save. Needs work. 3 out of 10.

[dreamy stirrup]

there's a place in redmond apparently!

[hasty zinc]

https://giphy.com/gifs/headlikeanorange-crow-david-attenborough-13Si0ckD255YyI

[elfin glacier]

It's some good wine I've got. Just follow me into these catacombs...

[hasty zinc]

actually I think that's a crow

[elfin glacier]

I saw a crow family
There was a small crow screaming at what i assume was its parent for food

[cedar turret]

It’s a story about a kid being jealous and tricking his crush into the catacombs and sealing him in a wall to die

[elfin glacier]

I don't remember the name but i think this one company operates a few locations in Redmond!

[dreamy stirrup]

it's over by the park

i haven't done that one.

but i see it every time we're out walking for snacks

[hearty flame]

Hey wait it's getting kind of dark in here

[elfin glacier]

Don't worry about it you're probably just imagining it

[cedar turret]

I’ve been tempted to get a group together for one, but I know if the puzzles make actual sense I’ll solve it in 8 minutes and if they don’t I’ll be frustrated at whatever fridge logic you were expected to use

[elfin glacier]

[hearty flame]

Oh sorry I thought we were playing Zork

[dreamy stirrup]

Comedy, if you have the right crew of friends, it can be a lot of fun

usually some logic puzzles and stuff

[hasty zinc]

this is ridiculous https://neal.fun/password-game/

[dreamy stirrup]

it's just a fun change of pace IME

what is that

[hasty zinc]

a game

[dreamy stirrup]

"Please choose a password"

[hasty zinc]

the password game

[dreamy stirrup]

i'm annoyed already

[hasty zinc]

keep going

[viscid spade]

anyone here down for some mcc?

[hasty zinc]

it gets worse

[dreamy stirrup]

Aegis

[hasty zinc]

LOL

[dreamy stirrup]

i don't know what this is

[hasty zinc]

it updates daily too lmfao

[dreamy stirrup]

how many rules are there

[fossil skiff]

What in the blazes is that password requirement list

[hasty zinc]

35

[dreamy stirrup]

okay well i'm out at rule 11 lol

[hasty zinc]

you picked starbucks didn't you

[smoky token]

do you need to retype the password every time

[hasty zinc]

nope

[smoky token]

what is today’s wordle answer

@hasty zinc tell me

[hasty zinc]

straw

[dreamy stirrup]

you shush

😂

DOES IT CHANGE BASED OFF THE ONE YOU USE?!

[hasty zinc]

nah

just an educated guess

[candid solar]

Oh my god it's me

Bird

[smoky token]

i’ve tried every move

[fossil skiff]

a4

[smoky token]

can’t move a4

wait lemme try b5

[fossil skiff]

Rf7

Think it’s mate in 1

[cedar turret]

No, queen takes rook, bishop takes queen, king takes bishop.

[amber mirage]

Coworkers shared that at work a couple days ago. I have not won yet.

[smoky token]

I don’t think the notation works like that?

oooh wait it does

ok lemme try again

[fleet kettle]

Pawn d3 up one

[smoky token]

somehow it’s not Bf7

[amber mirage]

Try Bf7+

[smoky token]

how do you denote a pawn

invalid

what does the + denote

[amber mirage]

Check

[fossil skiff]

check

[cedar turret]

Try queen to h3

[smoky token]

bishop wouldn’t check on f7

[fleet kettle]

It gets no ground

The pawn will give opening if you can see through

[fossil skiff]

Might be Queen to h8

Sacrifice so rook moves in to check

[fleet kettle]

Who we tryna help out

[smoky token]

h8 is suicide with no benefit

[cedar turret]

Then you just sacrifice your queen

[amber mirage]

I haven't actually looked at the board. I just assumed that's what you were going for.

[fleet kettle]

And then you put yourself at major disadvantage

[smoky token]

^

[fossil skiff]

And now it cant take the rook that puts the king in check. Mate.

[obsidian wyvern]

is it not the rook to f7

[smoky token]

Rf7+ is invalid

[fleet kettle]

Queen h7 then rook f7

Might work

[obsidian wyvern]

1 move

[fleet kettle]

Oh

Pawn to d4

Or pawn to b3

[fossil skiff]

Qh8+

[obsidian wyvern]

you'd lose several others with that move

[smoky token]

Qh8+ is an awful move for 300 rated players

[fossil skiff]

Why is that

[fleet kettle]

It a suicide

[smoky token]

^

you just waste your queen

[fleet kettle]

Puts you at disadvantage

[obsidian wyvern]

bishop f7

[fossil skiff]

You sacrificed the Queen to move black’s Queen away from the king so your rook can checkmate the king with Rf7

[fleet kettle]

Suicide

Qh7

[smoky token]

tried that

[dreamy stirrup]

is the rook taking the rook not the best move here?

puts the king in check?

[obsidian wyvern]

the queen would just take it

[smoky token]

yeah

[dreamy stirrup]

oh i got king/queen pieces mixed up

hang on

[smoky token]

u good

[mellow bane]

Chess in chat

[fossil skiff]

The black queen is the only thing holding that position. Qh8 forces a check that the black Queen HAS to stop by taking white’s Queen. It’s the only legal move.

[fleet kettle]

Did you try rook to g8

[dreamy stirrup]

you try this?

[fleet kettle]

Go to 8 instead

[obsidian wyvern]

I forget the rules of en passant

[fleet kettle]

No set outcome

[dreamy stirrup]

oh the rook is a good one

there is no way en passant is the best move here

but rook to that circled spot is check

[fleet kettle]

It really is the only one that doesn’t have backlash

[dreamy stirrup]

and the only way out is to sacrifice the queen

do that

[obsidian wyvern]

rook to g8 would be suicide too

[fossil skiff]

It gets taken by Queen if you use the rook. Queen sacrifice

[hasty zinc]

this has been fun to watch

[smoky token]

Rf7+?

[cedar turret]

Queen takes bishop, rook takes queen, king takes rook

[dreamy stirrup]

rf?

[obsidian wyvern]

rook to f7, check

[fossil skiff]

[fleet kettle]

Oh my bac I forgot queen could do that 😅

[obsidian wyvern]

that's what it stands for*

[dreamy stirrup]

hmmm

does queen to h7 work?

[smoky token]

before you ask no, pawns is not the best move

[smoky token]

apparently not

Bf7 would be the one I do if this was an actual game

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[fleet kettle]

Move the castle to a7

[cedar turret]

Not really

[obsidian wyvern]

Bc6

[smoky token]

Bishop sacrifice?

how is that helpful

[fleet kettle]

I forgot what that thing called

[obsidian wyvern]

actually no the queen would take it straight away

[dreamy stirrup]

yeah don't do that

try rook to b6

don't think that's it

[obsidian wyvern]

no the rook would die

[dreamy stirrup]

oh right

lol

[smoky token]

neigh, also rook would just take rook

how do you denote a piece taking another piece?

[fossil skiff]

x

[fleet kettle]

Yeah but your queen takes their queen

[faint mantle]

Have you won yet?

[dreamy stirrup]

For example, Bxe5 (bishop captures the piece on e5)

[fleet kettle]

Wait nvm pawn in the way

Night I’m out

[dreamy stirrup]

lol

[fossil skiff]

Aegis

[dreamy stirrup]

night blitz!

[fleet kettle]

Oooo thank youuuu night Sam

Idk who you are tho but night 😂

And thanks

[dreamy stirrup]

i really wanna know what it thinks the best move here is

[smoky token]

i have no idea

[dreamy stirrup]

have you tried moving your queen anywhere yet?

[amber mirage]

Qg1

[dreamy stirrup]

like h7?

[fossil skiff]

Qh8+

[smoky token]

Chessvision.ai says Qh8

[dreamy stirrup]

????

[smoky token]

oh my god

it was

Qh8+

[dreamy stirrup]

check and then you get your queen taken

oh okay

well

not what i would have done. but okay.

[fossil skiff]

Now the rook can checkmate without being taken by the Queen.

[smoky token]

then black Qxh8

then Rf7#

[obsidian wyvern]

that makes no sense

[dreamy stirrup]

oh true

[fossil skiff]

Yes it does

[dreamy stirrup]

no i see it

[obsidian wyvern]

you're just killing your queen no?

[dreamy stirrup]

that's correct.

[smoky token]

that’s clever

[fossil skiff]

No

[dreamy stirrup]

you're sacrificing your queen by forcing them to use theirs to take it

and moving their queen out of defense

[smoky token]

sacrificing the queen to put the rook in a position for a checkmate in 2

well checkmate in 1 for the rook

[obsidian wyvern]

oh

[amber mirage]

My chess problem was a lot easier

[hasty zinc]

Once I make my move, you're free to check the king

[amber mirage]

Only thing is it made it impossible to satisfy rule 5 because of the captcha rule.

[obsidian wyvern]

is that a Harry potter line I can't remember

[mellow bane]

Hmmmmm

[fossil skiff]

[mellow bane]

[dreamy stirrup]

idk

[smoky token]

what’s your rating

I’ll play a game

[dreamy stirrup]

idk

[regal chasm]

Last time I played chess, I got done in in like 4 moves. I ain't really the sharpest pencil in the box.

[dreamy stirrup]

i haven't played in years and i'm tired

[fossil skiff]

It’s like 1-2 minutes chess games that are very intense

[dire spade]

guys do you know why Spartan IIIs were disposable while Spartan IIs aren’t

[dreamy stirrup]

so i will not be playing tonight.

[obsidian wyvern]

bullet chess is 1 min games right

[uncut kiln]

I'm new here and don't know where to find co-op partners for a halo marathon can someone direct me?

They were cheaper to produce

[uncut kiln]

thanks

[smoky token]

Spartan IIIs were a lot more plentiful and a lot cheaper, but they weren’t necessarily “disposable”, they were just put on more “high risk high reward” missions to the most extreme degree

[dire spade]

sooo they were weaker? :0

[dreamy stirrup]

Dex keeps trying to get me to get the 5D chess or whatever

[obsidian wyvern]

what the hell is 5d

[viral dune]

3d + 2

[dire spade]

i see, I heard they had more invasive modifications though. Are they weaker still

[fossil skiff]

PhD checks out

[obsidian wyvern]

no that would be 3d + 2d

yeah my brain hurts looking at it

it's $6

idk. maybe i'll actually buy a game

[fickle drift]

I'll end up doing this for a week transitioning meds. I take them and sleep like a quiet little kitten for 3 hours.

Only steam game I've bought on sale this week is Boltgun.

[smoky token]

You said you have the FPS chess? Want to play a game sometime?

[dreamy stirrup]

i'd be down!

[cedar turret]

Try go. It’s less convoluted

[dreamy stirrup]

hahaha

go can get tricky!

[stoic rapids]

wonder what game I should get during the steam sale 🤔

[cedar turret]

Depends on who you’re playing, but the actual rules are simple. No time travel involved. Just who has the better plan and who adapts better to it going wrong two minutes in

Because of my TV I still play at 60 fps 60 hz

Though it doesn’t matter that much because I play causally, I just enjoy good graphics tho

Kinda embarrassing but it took me 4 years to learn what the "i" meant in 343i

is there a good place to talk abt the future direction of 343 instead of being told off i can't

[candid solar]

Trenchbird popping up in mod DMs like

I like to think that if I'm any type of brick I'm like that one cool marble type brick you see in libraries and stuff, but made out of balsa wood and covered in a plaster simulacrum.

[smoky token]

Not much is known and the rest is treated as leaks, which aren’t allowed to be discussed here

[elfin glacier]

let me ask this

what's the point in wild and fevered speculation

like to what end do people want to talk about this

does it help anything? does it push things in a better direction? (no and no)

[elder meadow]

because i want to hope again instead of being disappointed in halo being dumpstered again and again?

its not even fevered when im not even asking for the sky

[elfin glacier]

you want people to blow smoke around and set your expectations astronomically high so that when they inevitably don't get met you can say 'number company bad'

[elder meadow]

what? dont put words in my mouth pls

i didnt even say or claim that

this is ridiculous

[smoky token]

Well what do you claim?

[elfin glacier]

i didn't put words in your mouth. I just said what you really meant

[smoky token]

Because that’s a pretty common sentiment amongst people who think that Halo has been “sullied” by 343, or whatever

or dumpstered, or whatever verbiage you choose

[smoky token]

ac, that is, by definition, putting words in someone’s mouth

[elfin glacier]

potato poh tah toe

people should say what they mean

[elder meadow]

ok let me explain what i really mean because u nice folks jumped on me instantly

[chrome vortex]

but how would you know that's what they meant

[smoky token]

forgive him please

[elfin glacier]

because that's usually the case

[wheat lantern]

Is it just me or is halo 3 multiplayer harder then the others

[elfin glacier]

people want to talk about wild rumors that get spread around and then when said rumors turn out to be false they whine about it

[elder meadow]

not really in the mood, but since u were nice abt it i'll just ignore them given how they like to assume the worst of ppl instantly

[elfin glacier]

for instance, some very unintelligent twitter account posted that there would be a campaign demo on Nov 15th, 2021. This didn't happen but people still thought it would

[elder meadow]

anyway. my question is talking abt 343's management direction and what they intend to do without going into dreamland fantasy

[chrome vortex]

we dunno

[elfin glacier]

nobody knows beyond what's been publicly said

what's been publicly said: Halo will continue to happen

[hearty flame]

What do you mean, "dreamland fantasy?" We already have a good amount of "out-there" content in the game as it is, and it's all within a good amount of reason and generally keeps in theme

[quick escarp]

Why was there a ping

[hearty flame]

If you search for messages that mention you, you'll find it

[fickle drift]

There's other discord servers and subreddits that are more okay with this sort of stuff. This one isn't.

because someone here jumped onto me without warning and started gaslighting. so i have to make things clear

[candid solar]

Any conversation you get into here will inherently devolve into 'fantasy' due to the relatively tight ship 343i runs. It's best not discussed here unless you want to get into what you'd prefer.

[elfin glacier]

by ghost ping i mean they pinged then deleted
i know they pinged you but i forget who did the pinging. @smoky token do you rember?

look with your special eyes (at the logs)

[smoky token]

ac

[elfin glacier]

ti tan

i'm playing Hades

[smoky token]

are you familiar with how explosive decompression works

[elder meadow]

anyway. i get it. pm me if there's any other discords

thanks

[candid solar]

Titan moment (Not the username)

[elfin glacier]

is it what you will soon be undergoing

[smoky token]

It is what I will make you undergo

[candid solar]

Titan you should check your safeties before you go for a dive to the Titanic

[smoky token]

Your lungs will be dangling outside your mouth

[mellow bane]

How’s the game

[candid solar]

Is your hull carbon fiber

[smoky token]

it’s titanium

[elfin glacier]

very pretty like other Supergiant games

[candid solar]

Titanium capped or fully Titanium

[mellow bane]

Hmmmm nice

[smoky token]

hmmmm

capped

steel hull

[candid solar]

Already better than present news.

I'm sure carbon fiber and 1600m rated hulls do great at sub 3km depths.

[smoky token]

which is actually better?

[candid solar]

Uh... Realistically? Anything not carbon fiber in terms of depth survivability.

Capped or no.

[smoky token]

I know that titanium is about as strong as steel while being slightly lighter

but beyond that I don’t know how good either are at surviving atmospheric pressure

[elfin glacier]

the gameplay reminds me of bastion a bit (unsurprising). It's not bad and the music is also very nice (again, unsurprising since Supergiant's music is usually on point)

[smoky token]

which I suppose is a question for someone with an engineering degree

[candid solar]

Carbon fiber's weaker due to how it fractures under pressure.

[smoky token]

yup

Shatters like glass

[candid solar]

(Which is why I'd like to point out IV bones are Nanotube lattices, not carbon fiber)

God

Lattices is such a fun word

[elfin glacier]

🤓

[smoky token]

nanotubes are so cool actually

if only they were less expensive

[candid solar]

Nerd reaction ptsd

They slot the damn things into IV bones. Where does the bone marrow go?

[elfin glacier]

nerdbird
gets stronger with every halo book

[elfin glacier]

idk but speaking of marrow i don't get why people like, idk eat it it just seems weird

[candid solar]

only book I'm interested in right now drops in August (It's about a IV doing IV things)

[smoky token]

can you get bone cancer…

[candid solar]

Yes.

It's extremely rare, but yes.

[smoky token]

can you get bone marrow cancer…

[elfin glacier]

i think so actually

[candid solar]

That's usually what people mean by bone cancer.

[smoky token]

i have never heard of marrow cancer

[candid solar]

It's kind of a distinction without a difference by most metrics.

[smoky token]

I imagine it’s pretty deadly on account of the fact that you stop producing blood cells

[candid solar]

Yep.

Funny enough, IVs actually have their spleen replaced entirely

[smoky token]

OOOH

you mean

4s

i thought

IV

like

intravenous

[elfin glacier]

titan moment

[candid solar]

No.

[smoky token]

like an IV tube

i’m so stupid

[elfin glacier]

you are

[candid solar]

Y'know, actually, next canon fodder, I'd love if they explained what they do with IV organs that get replaced instead of modified. Realistically, I'd imagine they get donated.

[elfin glacier]

:)

[smoky token]

you will be holding your organs in a bucket

[elfin glacier]

i have no organs (i am a monolith of stone)

[smoky token]

why donate when you can flash clone

[candid solar]

Like, actually, that'd be really cool. Having a story about a child donor getting a IV's spleen as a replacement because the IV's got outright replad.

[candid solar]

Because flash cloning is cringe

[smoky token]

nuh uh

[candid solar]

Did you learn nothing from Kilo 5

[smoky token]

are you talking about Naomi’s replacement?

[candid solar]

II replacements in general

That was the entire crux of Paronosky's hatred.

[smoky token]

entire people - brains for that matter - were never meant to be cloned

[candid solar]

I wonder if they ever did full clones for II's like CE implied.

The non flashclone kind.

I bet that's the sort of monster ONI made AKIS for.

[smoky token]

is there a canon difference between cloning and flash cloning?

[elfin glacier]

probably

why else have the distinction

[candid solar]

Yes. Cloning is more stable for fully realized organisms.

Flash cloning organs is NBD because it thrives in the intended environ.

[smoky token]

If full cloning yields actually good results then why not just make a clone army of the same guy

like john

[candid solar]

Superstition.

I'd assume.

[smoky token]

mortal dictata?

stupid bureaucrats

or however you spell that damned word

[candid solar]

Beurocrats.

Nope

[smoky token]

no that’s right

[candid solar]

Bureuaucrat.

Now it's right.

That's a goofy word.

[smoky token]

bureaucrat

autocorrect gives me that ^

y’know what word I can never remember how to spell correctly is?

pursuit

[candid solar]

God, y'know, that's gotta be such a whiplash. I'll go from incredibly annoying in modmail and then back to normal here in a heartbeat.

Like, I'm sorry for whoever's dealing with that.

That's not a commentary on moderation, more how I act.

[elfin glacier]

bo row crat

[smoky token]

I can’t really comment on that here

[candid solar]

I don't want you to.

[elfin glacier]

bu row cat

[smoky token]

death to ac

[elfin glacier]

uhm, mod abuse????????/?

[candid solar]

I'm just voicing something on the top of my mind, it's not a thing against modmail.

That's a thing against me.

[elfin glacier]

modmail more like
paper_shredder.gif

[candid solar]

Nah, they're chill as hell.

1st ring, Satan's waist.

[elfin glacier]

i thought that was the 9th ring

[candid solar]

Whatever

It's a matter of perspective

[candid solar]

I still like Smiling friends

[smoky token]

that was a good show

[candid solar]

And how it depicted satan as just being a gamer

I can't relate to him but hey cold rooms are good for overclocking

So why not game, based satan

[smoky token]

I knew a guy who always talked about it who ended up being incredibly racist though, so that’s always in the back of my mind whenever I think about that show

[smoky token]

if you aren’t using LN2, are you really overclocking?

[candid solar]

I was about to make a joke about Dale Earnhardt. realized this wasn't the place for that type of joke.
