Gotta say, I'm hyped to get the chance to buy the Tactical Carrier backpack 👀

[earnest gust]

is there anything new with infinite? I haven't played since a little after launch

[muted rose]

YouTube is your friend

[earnest gust]

k then lol

I dont really watch anything halo related so i figured i'd ask the discord but ig not

[topaz stratus]

I'm pretty sure its going to be a kit but the IGN gameplay says otherwise i think. they have effects, visor and coating on.

[steady jolt]

#giveaways GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

[molten pelican]

this is the one

this is the one I can feel it

[muted rose]

There’s a lot to cover if you haven’t played since s1 so I’d rather not explain everything

[molten pelican]

I dont even play infinite but this is the one

[topaz stratus]

Best summery i could give is new gun, bunch of game modes, new maps, forge and i think thats the big stuff.

[candid solar]

Alright, how deep of a list you want.

I can go in depth and I can tl;dr it.

I'm pretty sure that's the outside of the map for the new cave one on suban

[bold sparrow]

That does look like Sangheilios in the skybox

[safe dawn]

hi

[earnest gust]

A list is fine

[obsidian wyvern]

trench we thank u for your service in these situations

"As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Noble Six is a character from the video game "Halo: Reach." In the game's storyline, Noble Six sacrifices themselves to protect the planet Reach and ensure the safe evacuation of other UNSC personnel. The game suggests that Noble Six did not survive the events of the game."

[bold sparrow]

I mean...

[molten pelican]

AI is pretty silly sometimes

[quick geyser]

hi how is everyone today

[zenith axle]

ALL HELMETS ARE CROSS CORE?

[hasty zinc]

[steady jolt]

When season 6 tho

[molten pelican]

8 is gonna be the one I can feel it

[quick geyser]

season 6 will come out on the same day as gta6 and chess 2

[hasty zinc]

I have a friend that does taxidermy for a 343 employee and they said season 6 is all forerunner themed and Prefect is coming back!!!

[molten pelican]

me waiting for elder scrolls 6

[zenith axle]

thats still not out?

bro I forgot about that

[molten pelican]

taxidermy and 343 employee I would have NEVER thought in the same sentence

[molten pelican]

what lol

[hasty zinc]

I say some weird stuff, so you should expect it from me at least

[candid solar]

Oh yeah well I have a friend who makes Sangheili body pillows and a 343i employee signed it and said playable elites are real but are only allowed to be used by 343 employees.

[steady jolt]

To be fair, the dude makes a mean armadillo

[zenith axle]

I forgot about the game

[molten pelican]

tru

[bronze breach]

taking the first step of playing infinite after 3 months... lets see if I can ignite the passion for gaming again!

[muted rose]

That friend is me

[molten pelican]

what game

[zenith axle]

elder scrolls 6

[molten pelican]

what is elder scrolls 6

[hasty zinc]

he does! did you see his Javan rhino mount?!? 👀

[zenith axle]

[molten pelican]

I dont see the connection here

[bronze breach]

I'm waiting for super saiyan transformations = the higher the transformation, the more tankier I become...

[zenith axle]

there isnt a connection I just forgot about the elder scrolls VI

[pulsar cobalt]

I like it

[molten pelican]

what game

[pulsar cobalt]

way better then MW2 2022

[molten pelican]

oh great to know, I saw some gameplay, looked like a step in the right direction. Randomly I like the fonts lol

[zenith axle]

I hope at release it doesnt become hulu again

[molten pelican]

whats the elder scrolls VI

[zenith axle]

actually, look it up.

[molten pelican]

look what up

[quick geyser]

[fickle drift]

gotta admit, that Season 5 trailer is awesome.

[candid solar]

[quick geyser]

those are some cute dogs

[molten pelican]

thank you for admiting

[fickle drift]

a frogge bip a smale beaste wip foure leggys

[zenith axle]

this might sound strange

but I wish I could play infinite

if it werent the fact, I dont own anything that can run it

[quick geyser]

me to

same

[fickle drift]

I'm hoping its at least a bit more optimized, my i7 8086K + GTX 1060 6GB combo literally "glasses" (as in turns into an oven) itself whenever I launch the game in the past

[zenith axle]

curse you games made past 2020!

[zenith axle]

oh lord it not gonna run on my computer lol

my specs are like 2x below yours

[candid solar]

... Bro that GPU came out nearly a decade ago.

[zenith axle]

or 3x

[molten pelican]

my 2060 surprisingly has no issues and its older🤷‍♂️

[candid solar]

That's not an optimization issue at that point, that's a hardware generation issue.

[fickle drift]

don't worry I'm planning upgrading it this christmas, just low on money atm lol

[molten pelican]

1060 wont cut it correct

[fickle drift]

I know people who still have like GTX 600 series cards

[molten pelican]

they can play a lot of hollow knight🤘

that cant run infinite

[candid solar]

Hell I just built an entirely new computer because my old 1080 stopped cutting it.

[quick geyser]

i know nothing about this computer stuff

[zenith axle]

this is a laptop

it will explode if it tries opening the game

[muted rose]

My laptop can barely run shaders for mc so I rarely play on it

[quick geyser]

hey at least you can download it

[fickle drift]

I should probably do the same but for the time being I'll just upgrade my GPU because my CPU is still running like a charm especially on CPU-bound games like the ones running in Source 1

[hasty zinc]

awesome giveaway!!

[fickle drift]

do y'all think a RTX 4060 Ti will be a decent enough upgrade for Halo Infinite? don't want to break the bank

[quick geyser]

i feel like i am reading a text in another language

[fickle drift]

I get that quite a bit actually

[bronze breach]

is drops working on twitch? cant see a progress bar at all

[hasty zinc]

I don't think they're active right now

[molten pelican]

absolutely, you could probably run 1440p max settings around 90fps. At least smaller maps and with nothing taxing running in the backround

[bronze breach]

ahh, then people trolling then

seen in chat people got 5-9 mins in chat so far lmao

[fickle drift]

holy moly

[candid solar]

The TIs this gen are allegedly a scam. Do research.

[molten pelican]

I wouldnt buy it no but it would run it completely fine

[quick geyser]

do you guys ever feel like you want to sleep and dont want to sleep at the same time

[candid solar]

I went with a 4070

[fickle drift]

oh

[candid solar]

They're a scam in that they're a higher up front cost for minimal benefit of course

[hasty zinc]

I don't know if I would classify that as a scam

just not a good price/performance value

[molten pelican]

simply, it would run infinite great, but might be worth spending a little more for 4070

[candid solar]

Please, Aegis, I'm a Halo fan. Spending money is a scam.

[hasty zinc]

I don't get it

[steady jolt]

Halo is a scam

[candid solar]

True!!!

[fickle drift]

can't be any less of a scam as when I legit spent $3000 for every part of my PC Build

[quick geyser]

everything these days is a scam

[candid solar]

Oh god. Please tell me you were high or drunk.

[fickle drift]

nah more of a kid

[candid solar]

Oof

[fickle drift]

I used christmas and savings to get each part

[molten pelican]

excuse me what

[molten pelican]

oh, I see

[fickle drift]

I mean like the total cost was $3000 btw

[candid solar]

I bought my prebuilt for sub $2k back in 2017.

With a 1080.

[fickle drift]

dang

[round laurel]

Congrats, you can now play Minecraft at +400 fps.

[fickle drift]

lol

[quick geyser]

i just buy the cheapest laptop i can find

[candid solar]

Well you likely aren't playing many games on it

[molten pelican]

I was able to snatch a prebuilt for free from my church with a 2060 and i7 10700k dont shoot me ik its prebuilt but free

[candid solar]

Prebuilts are fine if you aren't a snob.

[quick geyser]

you can say that again

[molten pelican]

^

works great for me, il switch cases and some parts later on, very grateful

[bronze breach]

I bought a custom pre built back in 2017 too which could 2.5k if I recall. Cant afford to buy another one because I need to save for another thing.

Looks like it's going back to console for me it is then

[molten pelican]

now and days you can build a pretty decent pc for around 1k imo

if you're wise with part choice and where to get them

[bronze breach]

I didnt build this one, even following instructions I fear I will break it. Which is why my current PC can never leave the room now lol

[molten pelican]

ah I see

[fickle drift]

somehow I was able to play every Source 1 game (including CSGO at higher settings) on my old 2015 HP laptop yet every laptop I got since can't play anything other than games older or less intensive than Source 1

[molten pelican]

im thinking about purchasing a steam deck, long trips coming up

[round laurel]

Breaking it would be difficult. Common errors are not installing standoffs or inserting the CPU incorrectly.

The worst part of a custom PC build is cable management. That's one thing I'd easily pay someone to do. If money weren't an issue, I'd 100% get a prebuild next time.

[quick geyser]

same just gotta rob a bank first

[fickle drift]

hell I managed to beat Black Mesa at like 15-20 FPS on that same HP laptop despite how heated up and slow it was. Heck, Gordon Freeman's flashlight doesn't even work in BM if you're on Intel HD Graphics.

[bronze breach]

I got a pre build the first time, I'm just saving for future wedding mostly, because I'm expected to cover everything with no parental assistance lmao

[quick geyser]

gtg bye

[earnest gust]

i still think the coating system is dumb. and why just cross core helmets lmao???

also still no playable elite?? bruh

[steady jolt]

[candid solar]

You say that like that's a bad thing.

[round laurel]

Why just cross core helmets
Likely because it was the easiest thing to convert as a cross core item before doing the rest.

... whilst also having the largest visual impact.

[candid solar]

#ONIdidnothingwrong
#Glyke2plz
#poisonthexenosbread

[earnest gust]

people been saying this since halo 4. even if it wasn't alot of people playing as elites the option was there and now it's gone

[candid solar]

Good!

Elites suck lmao

[earnest gust]

k lol well people are still annoyed about it

[candid solar]

My heart truly bleeds for the elite preferred species crowd. Unfortunately, it bled out decades ago.

[earnest gust]

also why would cross core armor be any harder than helmets?

[earnest gust]

wrong but ok

[candid solar]

You're a 'jump into the pool head first without even checking the ph level' kind of folk, huh.

[round laurel]

The pieces were made to be compatible with their original core.

Shoulder pieces are probably more prone to clipping than helmets.

[candid solar]

Oh they absolutely are

[round laurel]

Although I'm just speaking from a layman's perspective here

[candid solar]

Some are fine, some are awful about it

It really depends on core and shoulder

[earnest gust]

honestly i don't think that many players would be outraged by clipping. i see what you're saying tho

[candid solar]

Like, Rakshasa has a ton of clipping issues with other shoulders, for example

[earnest gust]

they should have thought of this from the start imo. i think cores are kinda dumb

[candid solar]

Cores are a good idea for unified aesthetic purposes, which is what they were chiefly made for.

What they are not good for is satiating the desires of people who like to put relish on rocky road ice cream.

[undone shore]

Looks like fiesta gives random grenade spawns now

[candid solar]

Based?

[undone shore]

The community livestream

They just played fiesta

[safe dawn]

cewl

[earnest gust]

despite players doing that before cores lmao

[candid solar]

Not really.

I don't count garbage SFM and Blender kitbashes.

[earnest gust]

you've played the older games right?

[candid solar]

Nope, I don't even know what a Halo is.

Does it have a point?

[earnest gust]

ok so you don't even want to talk about this lol im not gonna waste my time

[candid solar]

Yeah, you might pop a fuse.

You can solve that with a paperclip in the right spot.

[queen remnant]

The only halo that matters is Spartan Assault

[candid solar]

True!

[pulsar cobalt]

The only thing in halo that matters is elites 😄

[steady jolt]

[candid solar]

But yeah too many people show they never really pay a ton of attention to the core system and the various why's regarding its existence, and don't care to pay attention because it goes against their narrative. It'd be funny if it wasn't frustrating that people misunderstand a system's design goals.

I'm not even saying I don't want unlimited crosscore, lmao, I'm just saying that I get why it's not an overnight affair to 'fix' it or that it had a reason for existing the way it does.

It literally couldn't make itself, as a system, more transparent in its design goals if it tried.

[earnest gust]

it's literally just to make money. even locking colors behind a paywall is ridiculous

[topaz stratus]

Especially when they look so good in infinite. Like i think the infinite design is the best we ever got.

[candid solar]

See, case in my point. Narratives, people, don't leave home without them.

[pulsar cobalt]

Right it would be so good

[earnest gust]

so you agree that i should pay for different armor colors?

[hasty zinc]

you dont have to

[candid solar]

Honestly, with how you're talking, I'm thinking it's deserved.

[queen remnant]

The company does

And they got the money anyways

[earnest gust]

also you're ignoring my points like how you're complaining about me doing the same thing

when in reality im not

[earnest gust]

not my point. i shouldn't have to period

[candid solar]

I'm ignoring your points because you haven't made any with any that merit a discussion that wasn't a segue to attack something that the system either doesn't cover or isn't there.

[earnest gust]

literally every game the colors were unlocked at the start but now I can't pick specific colors i want i have to use a palette?

[candid solar]

Go back to r/halo lmao

[topaz stratus]

I still cant make my spartan from reach to this day. Even after 2 years. 😦

[earnest gust]

how is what im saying not valid? i disrespected nobody, im actually here for a discussion

[hasty zinc]

idk, I think it's fair. You don't have to pay for the game or xbox live or map packs anymore

[queen remnant]

No Aegis, no logical think

[earnest gust]

that's cool and all but with a game that takes months to add more content, and with seasons 1 and 2 lasting as long as they did is too much of a downside imo

[queen remnant]

But we are not in that state anymore?

Are you still in 2022?

[earnest gust]

we shouldn't have been there period

[queen remnant]

We literally got since Season 3 content regularly, specially season 4 that we got weekly stuff

[hasty zinc]

people just need to enjoy what we have now intead of harping on what we didn't have

[queen remnant]

We shouldn't but that's the past and now we are in the present, it's very pointless to talk about that now

[hasty zinc]

that gets people nowhere

it's just a cycle of complaining and it gets super tiring

[topaz stratus]

Agreed. I dont think you can just forget about the things that happened. Even if season five fixes everything (in theory). The past will always haunt them. as it should. (/ are still happening)

[queen remnant]

Like yeah it was unfortunate but talking the same thing again does not help anything

[hasty zinc]

yeah 343 build a time machine and fix it!

GOSH

[earnest gust]

well not complaining shows devs that we're okay with below standard products which we shouldn't get

[hasty zinc]

people have more than complained

your complaints are a drop in a sea of complaints

[obsidian wyvern]

point being, complaints did happen and improvements have been made for the most part

[round laurel]

... I think it's fair to assume they got the message.

[queen remnant]

343 should discover the forerunners, then find a time machine from that and go back in time

Yes, 343 should also start the race to travel stars too

[obsidian wyvern]

they should just activate the halos ngl

[hasty zinc]

complaining about what we didn't have at launch does nothing except force a negative view on what we currently do have

[topaz stratus]

Based

[candid solar]

We should go back to pride month so my pride patch is relevant

[queen remnant]

They already got the whole complains for the year, they are now on it

I think, they got the message for a long time

[earnest gust]

well if they make another game like infinite we'll know for sure if they get the message or not

[round laurel]

We already know they got the message.

[hasty zinc]

I'm sure they are well aware by now

[queen remnant]

That's literally also why they changed the whole leadership too

[candid solar]

Because it makes me the big happy

[queen remnant]

Idk what more do you want to them taking the message

Given how Destiny fans and Halo fans aren't too far off from Sonic Fans, I'm actually genuinely surprised nobody pepper sprayed a gamestop employee over something dumb like coatings

[queen remnant]

Destiny fans can go as far to literally harass to a CM house and his family!

Or death threats too!

(which also happened with Halo)

[earnest gust]

this is why i hate discord, cant really talk with anyone cus they dont have actual conversation, people just wanna talk to me like im stupid lol

[candid solar]

The dark year of 2021's tirades

Then again, I've seen a lot of particularly inspired tirades.

[quartz ridge]

Sonic fans are wonderful

[candid solar]

It blew my mind to learn that Empress Cortana was a Sonic fan.

[twilit vector]

Not with sonic BOOM

[candid solar]

That show honestly had a great sense of humor. Never touched the games though.

[topaz stratus]

Why did my thing get removed 😦

[candid solar]

But then I have respect for writing teams that throw shade at nutjobs that consider themselves fans.

[steady jolt]

Not something to bring up here

[topaz stratus]

Can i ask why not?

[steady jolt]

It's not appropriate for this server

[candid solar]

[quartz ridge]

Yes. Great game

Nice balance of the boost formula but in 2D style

[candid solar]

Huh, apparently custom game XP is limited to 7500/day

[earnest gust]

No, i've actually been trying to have a conversation about something i don't like in a game I've grown up playing and been bummed to see where it is atm. but on your end you've consistently been sarcastic and tried to just annoy rather than talk to me like an adult.

[quartz ridge]

Never played sonic boom

Interesting concept

[candid solar]

Most adults aren't worth talking to like adults, especially when it comes to things they grew up with.

[quartz ridge]

Heard the show was good

[queen remnant]

It is good

Funny too

[earnest gust]

huh???

what you mean lmao

[quartz ridge]

Last sonic show I really followed was sonic underground

[earnest gust]

so im just not allowed to give my opinion on something? cus thats what it sounds like

[fickle drift]

That’s quite a lot I would say. I’m curious how much it will be possible to get from one match

[candid solar]

If that's how you want to take it.

[hasty zinc]

I think we've exhausted this particular exchange, if y'all wanna take it to DMs, feel free

[quartz ridge]

It’s good thing I stopped caring about XP since 2011

[earnest gust]

can you stop with the sarcasm? how am i supposed to interpret what you're saying otherwise???

[candid solar]

You must only care about games in order to grind, Jules. If you don't max out the ranks in sub 100 hours, you are being scammed.

oh ok this helmet is neat

havent seen either of these

[stiff flame]

military police definitely needs to come

[pulsar cobalt]

possible in the operations stuff i suppose

Real question is CE mark V a full core because i'm really hoping it is

[fickle drift]

Would be cool, makes you wonder what else they’d do for that core though

Orion pieces? Idk

[pulsar cobalt]

would be nice

[fickle drift]

In some gameplay(probably IGN one, don’t remember) someone was using a armor effect on it so maybe it is a full core

[stiff flame]

wasn't it also in mutliple colors

[pulsar cobalt]

So it must be a full core

[stiff flame]

may not mean much

[fickle drift]

If it was then it must be a full core because you can’t customize kits

[obsidian wyvern]

well

the mk 6 armour is a kit

[fickle drift]

So yeah, armor effect and colors might mean that it’s a full core

[obsidian wyvern]

and ign said there are different coatings for mk 6 exclusively

[stiff flame]

wonder if it'd be added to the mirage set

[pulsar cobalt]

but rak and CE mark v was both using the same white coating

[fickle drift]

Hmmm

[obsidian wyvern]

probably a new coating as theyre being granted for every core

or maybe we finally get a cadet white

[fickle drift]

Well, I guess we will need to wait and see lol

[stiff flame]

don't think anyone is acknowledging how terrifying it'd be for a grunt to be face to face with a Flood Spartan

[pulsar cobalt]

if anyone is at the event here take a picture and look at cores and see if CE Mark V is there haha

😂

[stiff flame]

if we're able to make Firefight maps (i haven't fully caught up on everything coming), would love to see the end of the first campaign mission of Halo 3 as a firefight map

[fickle drift]

Yeah, we will be able to create maps in forge. You can even just add AI to your already existing maps

[stiff flame]

that's awesome, gotta learn Forge

[queen remnant]

You can make more than just Firefights

[fickle drift]

Also from what I’ve read you will be able to program more linear levels

[queen remnant]

Like what they showed is insane

[fickle drift]

I haven’t watched much of HCS now. I guess I will need to go and see what they showed

[obsidian wyvern]

wait

[fickle drift]

?

[obsidian wyvern]

can you add spartan bots at the same time as the campaign ai

[fickle drift]

[obsidian wyvern]

if so, maybe forgers will finally give us one of the few things i wanted from this campaign

[stiff flame]

will be interesting to see if people bring scenes from the books to forge

[queen remnant]

I mean they also share the same navmesh too soooo

Yeah?

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe one day theyll give us cinematic abilities too

[obsidian wyvern]

[queen remnant]

Like reading Kotaku and Xbox Wire articles about AI forge and then this panel, it's just insane how much flexibility you have with AI there

[safe dawn]

hi

[queen remnant]

You can make PvPvE or PvE stuff, anything

And soon they are going to put the Forge waypoint blog

[fickle drift]

Hi

[safe dawn]

arent you dead?

(no im not letting go of this until 343 retconns the death)

[fickle drift]

That’s interesting. Hopefully they will bring some PvPvE maps to matchmaking

[safe dawn]

^

warzone part 2, and firefight

[queen remnant]

As for example

[candid solar]

This gives me ideas.

[fickle drift]

Nah, I’m just hiding in a cave with noble six. Moa burgers are pretty good

[candid solar]

Trench warfare map where capturing trenches means the enemy side gets marine reinforcements, for example.

[queen remnant]

Tower defense stuff is also there too

[obsidian wyvern]

i wanna play the tower defense

[candid solar]

Halo, but it's Sanctum

[queen remnant]

Start forging then

[bold sparrow]

Do that for Entrenched when it comes back

[obsidian wyvern]

i tried making a simple murder mystery game and i quit on that pretty quickly

[queen remnant]

Weak

[obsidian wyvern]

yes 😔

[twilit vector]

..... Oh hell yeah

Thats a cool idea we can do that in season 5

[quartz ridge]

A cool idea for season 5 would be to add more weapons

[amber iris]

Dang they’re giving away smell bringer for free

I thought I was special

[quartz ridge]

Xbox acquisition on ABK is great for gaming

[forest relic]

haunt 343 until they decide to retcon your death

[candid solar]

NGL it's still one of the best book game character deaths I've actually seen

Man had more impact in one book than he had in an entire game

[forest relic]

Funny how he could beat down brutes with his own fists but got killed by a goofy ahh insurrectionist

[fickle drift]

Sounds good

[candid solar]

He didn't actually do that lmao

You, as a person, chose to do that, in a game where he originally wasn't even supposed to be capable of dealing damage to brutes until they realized that Halo 3 'realism mode' for marines is a terrible design decision

[hasty zinc]

Disgite doing cut H4 content

[forest relic]

I mean yeah I guess but in my head im gonna imagine he could take down entire covenant squads all by himself

[candid solar]

And in my head he fought like any isolated ODST should do; Not pick fights and pick off stragglers.

Oh, new Godzilla trailer dropped.

[forest relic]

Prophet of truth when 3 odsts and a police officer wipe out an entire air fleet

there’s another one???

[regal briar]

Wait fr

[pallid island]

Shut up

Crowbcat video
Oh so is that guy huh

The guy who trashed on RE4 remake for being "soulless"

[quartz ridge]

What are the bad things that 343 has ever done

[pallid island]

I mean i can understand that theres too much remakes of old games nowadays, but like RE4 was well received and had soul and didnt overtake the original.... yet.............

[rugged birch]

go ahead and don't watch the viideo

[pallid island]

Kill my dog

Killed my grandma how they could!!!!!

[steady jolt]

Ok, I won't

[rugged birch]

wow you're cool

[steady jolt]

[rugged birch]

where was forge at launch huh

[bronze breach]

On my computer

[rugged birch]

where was the "completed game"

[pallid island]

Where was Halo 2 finale at launch?

[bronze breach]

I forgot to upload it

[steady jolt]

My dude, it's HCS weekend - let's not do this

[pallid island]

Bro trash 2 was right there

[steady jolt]

It's good vibes time

[rugged birch]

the fix it later mentality is what's ruining you people

sad that's what this community has come to

[queen remnant]

Did I missed someone posting Crowbat video

[pallid island]

yes, is not that much worth anyways

[steady jolt]

Anything fun happening on the Community Stage?

[pallid island]

i mean crowbcat has some good videos like the back 4 blood one but like some videos are straight up trash

[queen remnant]

The consequences of Crowbat has been awful to the current discussion game

[queen remnant]

YEeeee I saw the cut content from old halos and was fun

[pallid island]

True true..... He should stayed at making documentaries of actual failed launches like Cyberpunk

[hasty zinc]

they finished digsite stuff and in 7 minutes is steve, jen and keith

[queen remnant]

Also Forge panel was pretty fun

[bronze breach]

Stckr, was your role always that color? I swear the shade of red/pink/crimson changed since I was last actively here.

Just noticed out of curiosity that is all

[candid solar]

Oh, someone posted that idiot?

[rugged birch]

"oh no crowbcat made a video about halo that showed off everything bad about 343 wiithoutsaying a word? i suddenly hate him now.. grrr"

[pallid island]

Yeah, and is kinda of an idiot? He says sometimes some true words like in the back 4 blood video but the halo's videos and RE4 video was trash

[hasty zinc]

sick

[pallid island]

Nah i dont hate him is just that he has trash videos sometimes

[quartz ridge]

Being developed.

[wind wharf]

Digsite panel was hype asf

[queen remnant]

No, I hated him way before he got popular dw about it

[candid solar]

Broken clocks.

[steady jolt]

I leveled up for the weekend

[hasty zinc]

double admin all the way

[steady jolt]

Nice!!

[quartz ridge]

I honestly feel like people that complain about things not being at launch as arguments are the worst kind of people to talk to about games

[bronze breach]

Ooh nice. You have ascended.

[queen remnant]

The emotes being even back at Halo Mac World is so funny

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1131266989638295653/1162507106100989952/macworld_chief_die.gif?ex=653c301c&is=6529bb1c&hm=cfa86fe85372ccc70297c6304cfad5e0d332803572a90ec477ae8d5f937aa05e&

[fickle drift]

It was cool to hear more Digsite stuff is on the way, and that they’re restoring stuff from the newer titles too

Can’t wait for whenever the H2 E3 demo drops that’s dream material ngl

[quartz ridge]

I didn’t get forge at launch = bad game because I have to wait

[candid solar]

People really struggle with being objective about Halo games, but modern discourse has degenerated to the point that people love to pretend their unhinged ranting is somehow objective just because they learned what objective means in a google search because their favorite talking head who says inflammatory things said it about something stupid.

[queen remnant]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1131266989638295653/1162504209699188806/so_true.gif?ex=653c2d69&is=6529b869&hm=e7c76e65ddbd7a85057ba54462f1bb12404e028bc9c5cbfc4f1be1901aac9cb7&

[pallid island]

Back 4 blood would been cool if the devs didnt promote their game "as the creators of Left 4 Dead" because valve did 90% of the work on left 4 dead lol

[hasty zinc]

literally all I'm waiting for

I'm gonna pass out when I get to actually play it

[quartz ridge]

And when they get proven wrong they hit you with the “it’s just my opinion man. Respect my opinion”

[rugged birch]

yea sure ok, and i bet your favortie halo game was 5

[candid solar]

And what if it was?

[quartz ridge]

Mine was

[queen remnant]

Idk what connection is that between me not liking the youtuber and that but sure

[candid solar]

Doesn't make that utter drivel any more palatable.

[pallid island]

Wish i could play actual masterpiece

And not Trash 2

[bronze breach]

Halo 5 is my favourite in terms of pve...

[candid solar]

Right, hence broken clocks. It was advertising, not exactly a complicated thing to notice.

[pallid island]

And im not being ironic btw

[queen remnant]

It never miss that someone who has Nagatoro-san pfp has the worst takes ever, it always happens

[candid solar]

Oh, so that is from an anime?

[spare haven]

Hello

I'm new

[fickle drift]

Well I can see we’re doing the engage the moron thing and not the be hype about new stuff thing so back to the stream I go

[candid solar]

I figured it was just some random degen image from some weird guy's comic.

[pallid island]

Yea but it was terrible advertising because people though it was a spiritual successor and it kinda was but failed terrible at doing the OG l4d series did back in 2009

[steady jolt]

[pallid island]

It was much more complicated to understand there was too much stuff to understand

[queen remnant]

Watch my gifs emotes that I posted!!!

[rugged birch]

343 fans look at the MCC at launch and see absolutely nothing wrong with it

[candid solar]

TBF, I played it when it came out. It honestly wasn't that bad.

[queen remnant]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1131266989638295653/1162507914095898664/attachment.gif?ex=653c30dd&is=6529bbdd&hm=591adf8e9e6eecb7fde5c4ad912ffe7ecfdf87417a83a6ca367885e7495d8234&

[pallid island]

It wasnt bad, it just wasnt what people was expecting

It didnt have the Valve touch

It was just "Mid" "Average"

[candid solar]

No, it's actually what I'm most critical about from their stewardship. I just don't feel the need to bring it up every five seconds because I don't need to make up for my lack of a personality by whining.

[fickle drift]

Who said that? Also what’s the point of just attacking people here?

[pallid island]

Sad the development got cancelled after two years, i think turtle rock studios is the truly incompetent studio lol

[steady jolt]

We don't need to bring that conversation back again, Rookie, let it pass

[queen remnant]

I need the Forge AI now

[fickle drift]

Sorry, just came back here

[candid solar]

It had good ideas, really. That card system that led to unique runs wasn't actually a bad idea.

[pallid island]

Yea but it was complicated to understand from what ive read

[candid solar]

I don't think it was complicated, or at least, that wasn't what drove me away.

I think I ultimately just got bored of it. It was a boring game.

[pallid island]

I think why the Left 4 dead games work so well is because once you know the basics, you can simply, drop in, do some matches and drop out

[elfin glacier]

i've always hated crowbcat and his legion of braindead fans!

crowbcat is a spineless hack and his fans are an unthinking swarm of dunces

[quartz ridge]

The online servers weren’t stable but the game offline was playable

[bronze breach]

I recall 343 saying when mcc was first launched and experienced problems, they admitted they were over ambitious

Or I could be going insane

[steady jolt]

Siege, we've moved on from this. I don't want to keep bringing it back

[candid solar]

I mean, it's not like anyone wants to release something that broken.

[pallid island]

Also because of the AI director aswell there can be some crazy moments on Expert, dont forget the workshop support that maintains the PC version alive

[quartz ridge]

Yes they do. Devs like it when people can’t play their games

[candid solar]

Pretty much every L4D clone ever has a spinoff 'director' system. I think it just tried to do too little and too much all at once in the wrong areas.

That said, the 'drop in drop out' of L4D is 100% a huge reason why it has the longevity it's had

[bronze breach]

That is why I think a Gears Collection will simply never happen. I cant see Micirosft going about their way to redo all games on a single engine version and ensure it works smoothly

Too much of a big undertaking

[elfin glacier]

even MCC used the original* engines under the hood

[pallid island]

Same as counter strike, You can learn the basics and the recoils (well except in CS2 where you have to relearn again but still) and drop in, do a couple matches and drop out

[elfin glacier]

*heavily modified

[candid solar]

It's pretty much the polar opposite of, say, Vermintide, which has a similar premise (Missions, 4 man teams, AI director, whole nine), but focuses on builds over jump in and fight, while Back4Blood went for a middling alternative.

[pallid island]

You dont need to learn complicated system and stuff

[elfin glacier]

but still separate engines instead of trying to remake it all in one engine

[bronze breach]

I'm probably spouting nonsense since I'm no Unreal dev. I dont know how it will work brining all Unreal engine games under one. It is my assumption really

[candid solar]

Vermintide/Darktide are popular in turn because they allow for the same 'kill massive hordes of enemies' experience, but with a high enough emphasis on builds and such that sets it firmly apart from L4D, while B4B just let you set up basic traits and didn't let you do anything more.

[elfin glacier]

that being said! I would love to see new takes on CE<->4 in slipspace, with changes to campaign levels and such

[candid solar]

Like, if I'm playing B4B, the experience is such that I really might as well just play a mutator of Left4Dead. It's really not different enough to matter otherwise.

[bronze breach]

What I could see though, they just use Gears:UE as a base plate and do Gears 2 and 3 using it.

[pallid island]

Yeah
You could play some custom servers on L4D that allow perks and stuff and you could get a similar experience in that of back 4 blood

[elfin glacier]

it's possible but it'd need a good chunk of work no matter what they do

[bronze breach]

Very true.

Just dont see any Gears remakes happening now the studio is split into Xbox Games Tech Group and team working on Gears project

[elfin glacier]

additionally choices like emulating engine/game quirks and bugs complicates things

[candid solar]

I guess that kinda falls into another catagory of "Who is this for?" That a lot of games kinda fall due to.

[velvet quiver]

Hey yall im playing halo three campaign.

[candid solar]

I'm so sorry :c

[quartz ridge]

It’s the best halo ever made

[velvet quiver]

I love halo 2 and 3

[bronze breach]

@candid solar @elfin glacier also late to the party, but congrats on obtaining inheritor!

I noted both of you got it on the day, just didnt have the strength to talk on discord due to work issues.

[elfin glacier]

oh no

hope u are ok

[velvet quiver]

I really like the new infinite update that's been announced.

[candid solar]

All good :>

[bronze breach]

Been stressed from work since July, which is why I lost interest in gaming and infinite. Been on leave from work for the past 2 weeks (next week included now)

Actively looking for a new job and I got an 90 minute interview with 3 interviewers lined up next week

That's the gist of things haha.

[velvet quiver]

Hhhhhm. just crashed my Xbox. Yay

[hasty zinc]

did the airbags deploy?

[velvet quiver]

No i got kicked out of halo 3

😦

[hasty zinc]

oh good, then it's not totaled

[fickle drift]

one question remains: did the Xbox try to kill Gordon Freeman? If so it was doomed from the start.

[bronze breach]

Odd I thought smellbringer would be a soap exclusive coating. Not that I'm complaining

What's next. The nail polish coating as a twitch drop. 👀

[hasty zinc]

whoa, downes just dropped some unknown stuff about H5

[velvet quiver]

My Xbox restarted when i was playing h2

[fickle drift]

wait wha

[hasty zinc]

apparently at one point either chief or locke would be killed depending on different stuff I assume

[velvet quiver]

Locke might be dead

Idk

[ember snow]

What is the today's Twitch Drops?

[fickle drift]

so basically like how in Wolfenstein The New Order a similar thing occurs at the beginning with Deathshead forcing you to do something which I won't say because spoilers?

[candid solar]

Wait WHAT

[velvet quiver]

I noticed lockes helmet on a brutes shoulder pad in infinite.

[steady jolt]

https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1159627338439475371

[pallid island]

Wdym chief killed Holy crap

[bronze breach]

Probably just taken it as a trophy...

[pallid island]

343 Had some insane ideas

[velvet quiver]

Aaaaaaa. Playing halo 2 with many skulls on

[fickle drift]

so what happened is that Locke called in Duke Nukem and Chief blew his ego so hard that Duke brutally attacked Chief and that happened

[candid solar]

@quartz ridge

[velvet quiver]

Do any of you buy the halo mega constux

[fickle drift]

not really a toy guy so not me

[bronze breach]

Does fleetcom think Chief is dead again? After the events of the infinite?

[ember snow]

Thank you.

[velvet quiver]

They put a golden locke in the halo anniversary set.

With wrong shoulder pads

[pallid island]

Insane

[fickle drift]

despite that I still find Halo more interesting than most AAA games these days. I dunno what it is but even though 343i changed tons of stuff it still stands out to me for some reason.

[pallid island]

Yea fr but some are not fully released like that idea

Probably it was microsoft doing their little thing

[fickle drift]

even Halo 5 still stands out compared to the latest CoD

[pallid island]

Also because tbh, killing chief was kinda of a terrible idea he is the protagonist and is the mascot of xbox...........

also because alot and i mean ALOT people would hate it

[bronze breach]

Franchise is bigger than chief

[candid solar]

^

[pallid island]

Ik but he is the main character and main face of the titles

[candid solar]

I feel like Halo should focus on the Spartans and the universe more than Chief.

[bronze breach]

Eventually universe must move on

[pallid island]

Someone says "Halo" and everybody knows in what they are talking about

the guy in the green suit

[fickle drift]

my biggest concern is that since Chief is not immortal, when he dies the Bungie Halo fans will go insane and riot literally

[pallid island]

Spinoffs or books Only

[bronze breach]

Steve Downes is not immortal either...

[fickle drift]

that too

[candid solar]

Neither. Mainline, spinoffs, full shebang.

[pallid island]

Not only Bungie fans, all of Halo fans and non-halo fans

Seriously he has been with us with 20 years why you would kill him lol

[bronze breach]

Technically, they probably can clone chief, just make it so he doesnt die like flash clones are designed to. The tricky part is the VA.

So they could use chief forever.. but that's not ideal

[pallid island]

Mainline seems only can be done in a Halo 2/5 style tbh

[fickle drift]

I do find it kinda weird that some game companies make non-immortal characters the face of their company, I feel like Xbox could've been spared from this if a character not affected by age or voice actors like I dunno Banjo Kazooie or whatever was the mascot of Xbox.

[bronze breach]

Dont kill him off, but rather move chief to a supporting role while making another character the new hero...

[fickle drift]

oh yeah, that could work

[bronze breach]

It will take time like with chief was

[fickle drift]

honestly the people who want Bungie to become the devs of Halo again are insane, especially when they mean a version of Bungie that has ceased to exist entirely

[bronze breach]

Gears done that. Marcus is back as a supporting character along with other main characters from the original trilogy in the new saga

Exactly

[fickle drift]

and lets be real here: I doubt Halo Digsite would ever be a thing if Bungie stayed being the sole devs of Halo

[candid solar]

I'm excited for the Halo 5 NDAs to close, just saying.

[pallid island]

Yakuza did the same, however they are bringing him back for some reason?? Which i dont like tbh

[candid solar]

I really want to know more about it.

[pallid island]

He had his ending in 6, let the man rest and only appear at certain occasions

[quartz ridge]

What was the message? I have that person blocked

[steady jolt]

Some NDAs are indefinite, just fyi

[bronze breach]

Oh

Damn, didnt know that was a thing

[pallid island]

Halo could do the same, overshadow it a little bit by bit but comes back as a supporting cast and thats it

[rugged birch]

Are you insane? People just want people that care about the game to make it

[quartz ridge]

False. Master chief is halo

[fickle drift]

not insane, just being realistic

[steady jolt]

The people that work for 343 care about the game quite a bit

[quartz ridge]

343 doesn’t care about halo?

[candid solar]

... You blocked Aegisfate? Why?

[pallid island]

what if books of halo never existed

[rugged birch]

Not people that think making pop ups for loot crates the most important thing ever

[quartz ridge]

Bungie wanted to stop making halo after CE.

[fickle drift]

👆

[pallid island]

pretty sure it was after halo 2? if they made that ending lol

[quartz ridge]

There was a comment that he said a while back that I didn’t like

[pallid island]

CE ending was pretty much "is this gonna be successful?"

[fickle drift]

Halo CE was indeed supposed to be the sole Halo game

[pallid island]

Idk as a solo game.... Is kinda awful for that melancholic ending i mean is cool and gives us a satisfactory ending but still theres more potential to close it all with a sequel lol

So i doubt that pretty sure it was with Halo 2 the closing of the series

[fickle drift]

okay I will be honest, I am slightly insane but that has nothing to do with Halo or Bungie

[quartz ridge]

Nope. I believe it was CE. They didn’t even wanted to make mp for it

[pallid island]

Well it could worked as a Cult classic if didnt had success Just like mirrors edge

[velvet quiver]

Halo two was a gaming miracle

[rugged birch]

Braindead..Bungie cared about making halo. 343..nope

It doesn't have to be Bungie again

[fickle drift]

lets not throw insults here

[steady jolt]

maru - go take a walk or something

[rugged birch]

Just devs that actually want to make the game fun again

[quartz ridge]

They didn’t and you need to realize that.

[velvet quiver]

I remember that the original halo games from Bungie were made back when games were supposed to be fun

[pallid island]

Nah it actually predicted the Modern AAA standard

Releasing broken games and that terrible finale

[candid solar]

This is one of the most flagrantly incorrect things I've ever read on a Halo anything.

[velvet quiver]

Im talking about the two months thing

[quartz ridge]

Games aren’t not supposed to be fun now? This is news to me

[candid solar]

I can't imagine being that confident in a situation you know nothing about.

[fickle drift]

you think anyone in the modern AAA games industry wants to make Halo like the old days? Lets be real here, that ship has sailed. We live in an era where community servers are less important to companies and matchmaking is more necessary to them. I'd do research before you speak if I were you.

look at Valve and CS2 for example.

[quartz ridge]

If the formula was highly requested, some other dev would’ve emulated it. these guys dont want to come to that realization

[pallid island]

Bro play indie games if you want "fun games" back

Theres legit shooters that are more fun than old halo probably lol

[fickle drift]

he should play Zortch

[candid solar]

Punishment is 15 years of cruelty squad VR

[elfin glacier]

Bruh games have always been about making money

[pallid island]

Though, theres alot of boomer shooter for some reason lately, there should be more Half-likes and Halo-likes (probably??)

[candid solar]

Oh, they're muted

[queen remnant]

Nagatoro-san pfp moment

[fickle drift]

good riddance

[candid solar]

dial up troll emote

[quartz ridge]

Punishment is playing radditz on budokai

[elfin glacier]

trash character trash manga

[velvet quiver]

The gaming franchise is kinda going in the direction of grind for days before winning, or just you can only pay attention to the game, and really they took out stuff that made old halo fun

[elfin glacier]

dile

[candid solar]

dile

[elfin glacier]

crocodile

[candid solar]

See you later alligator

[quartz ridge]

I wouldn’t say that. I think a lot of gamers have an extreme narrow taste for gaming where they play 2 genres

[pallid island]

stop playing gacha games and play cool roblox bro

[quartz ridge]

FPS and rpg

[pallid island]

in roblox theres games that are actual fun and not very grindy like

[fickle drift]

nah, I'd rather burn my eyes than play Roblox

[velvet quiver]

I remember playing fat kid game mode while using the voice chat in game to talk and have fun with other players

[pallid island]

Why

Roblox is cool you just gotta find the right games

[bronze breach]

Twitch drops watch time quite long this time round. 3 hrs! Damn lol

[pallid island]

Popular page has full of trash, dont play those

Like doors for example

Frontlines which is kinda of a COD clone

There will be more advanced games in the future, just you gotta wait
for now the blocky games will stay

Phantom forces aswell

[obsidian wyvern]

it was all about the blocky games back then

[fickle drift]

I was humiliated and cyberbullied by a motherload of people on there years ago and it's still painful just to think about. And while yes I was 7-11 years old when this happened and acted annoying, I was a kid for god's sake. I have no sympathy for the Roblox community anymore and I will continue to stand against Roblox because screw them.

[velvet quiver]

Now days almost all shooters are COD clones

That's why 4 and 5 are the way they are

[fickle drift]

TL;DR the Roblox community treated me like garbage and now I hate the game with a burning passion.

[candid solar]

Lol, lmao even

[candid solar]

Ditto above, lmao.

[fickle drift]

ahem, have you played all those Indie FPS games from the past like 5 years?

[pallid island]

Kinda of skill issue but yea the roblox community is pure garbage theres barely any good people out there and is difficult to find them

[velvet quiver]

Indie is a different story

[pallid island]

I found the good people but it was very difficult

[velvet quiver]

Indie game devs care about the game more than money

[candid solar]

Hahahahaha

Please tell me you don't actually believe that's true lmao

[velvet quiver]

I think it's true

[fickle drift]

skill issue? Even big names like Dogon got all mad and started cyberbullying me, I had no way to defend myself and some of them even stalked me. It got to a point where I left Roblox entirely because I was tired of their constant torment.

[candid solar]

Oughf. You should look up some more history on the sordid history of unity asset flips made by indie devs.

[pallid island]

Ok now thats too far away from the roblox community man wth

[candid solar]

Lot of people trying to make a quick buck in that allegedly good old hard-working "I just wanna make a good product!" community.

[pallid island]

Wth is wrong with them

Tbh the entire community is not like that but yea

[velvet quiver]

Im messaging here and playing halo 2. I am really stupid.

[pallid island]

You found the awful parts

[fickle drift]

from my experience, they're evil. And I WILL NEVER forgive them.

[fickle drift]

it was like everyone I met was against me

[pallid island]

typical roblox dev

[pallid island]

wth did you do to everybody be against you

[fickle drift]

be "annoying" according to them

I even got permabanned from a game because of me being an annoying kid

[velvet quiver]

Im looking at bungie halo 2 and 343 halo 2 and am seeing more details in the environment in classic graphics.

[candid solar]

I love how people think that Fortnite invented stuff like emotes

Did I say love? I mean I hate that

[fickle drift]

especially when TF2 did it back in like what? 2013?

[candid solar]

Guess what Halo 3 and TF2 have in common

[fickle drift]

2007

[pallid island]

Yea but Halo 2 has the trashiest OG graphics ive ever seen

[fickle drift]

enough said

[velvet quiver]

Some dumb kid i met actually thought that master chief was from fortnight

[pallid island]

Even Half life 1 looked better

[candid solar]

Guess what UT2004 had too

[fickle drift]

they had emotes as well?! dang

I never played UT but thats pretty neat actually

[pallid island]

Pretty sure Quake 3 arena also kinda had? it was a taunt but still

[smoky token]

pretty sure postal had emotes before UT

[pallid island]

postal isnt a mp game

[steady jolt]

There's honestly nothing wrong with this - not everyone knows about characters from games. It's a good opportunity to say "Hey, actually Chief came from this cool game - you should try it"

[fickle drift]

well thats Postal, I think we're talking like multiplayer games

true

[candid solar]

The spectres of games past when boomer gamers think that emotes are new (They are very wrong)

[pallid island]

will be kinda the same with the citizens of half life 2..........

and gman (the skibidi toilets)

[fickle drift]

is that Hoovydundy?

[candid solar]

Unno

[candid solar]

What's funny to me is that people are getting bent out of shape over that when GmoD idiot Box existed

[pallid island]

Yea fr

[candid solar]

Like, the guy who came up with the concept was making Gmod Vids for years, it's not a new thing.

[velvet quiver]

The kid refused to accept the fact and said halo was a spin off

[pallid island]

The skibidi toilet guy is a bad person though (not surprising since is a valve fan)

[velvet quiver]

Hey valve is cool

[fickle drift]

Hoovydundy is a creepypasta about a very angry heavy who brutally kills off everything in his path and hangs their entrails by ropes that Hoovydundy creates.

[pallid island]

Ik but their fans are so WEIRD

And look im a fan too but im not like them

[fickle drift]

its legit creepy

[candid solar]

Ah

No, that is not "Hoovydundy"

Someone in another chat I'm in is modding Heavy into Doom 3

[pallid island]

Specially the gmod players

And sven coop players

[velvet quiver]

That makes the games like tf2 fun

[fickle drift]

oh dang

[pallid island]

They are the lowest point of human you ever seen

[candid solar]

I dunno, Halo fans exist.

[fickle drift]

you should try TF2 Classic, its a free TF2 mod that basically modernizes 2008 TF2 and adds in stuff from TFC like Civilian and 4Team

[pallid island]

in tf2 you encounter:
nice and fun people
or
literal raging racists and nazis

[fickle drift]

also bots are nonexistent

[velvet quiver]

Yeah

[pallid island]

in gmod is just raging racists, nazis or other type of crap thats why i dont play MP on gmod

is just screwed

[fickle drift]

I heard Sven Coop for HL1 is the same way

[pallid island]

It is

[fickle drift]

its honestly depressing seeing multiplayer sourcemods go downhill like that

[pallid island]

Those two games for some reason they have the worst of people

[elfin glacier]

wen season 5

[velvet quiver]

Of what

[elfin glacier]

oh the 17th

[pallid island]

Tomorrow.

[tight remnant]

That spartan!

[velvet quiver]

O:

[tight remnant]

Cosplay starting good

[quartz ridge]

I’m in favor of separating the two. There’s halo fans*

And halo fans

[smoky token]

:(

[candid solar]

Local superintendent gets bullied for choice of game

[pallid island]

Not you, is just that for some reason Valve has a nest of weird fans

[steady jolt]

Anyone here that does not have the Spree weapon charm in Infinite?

[elfin glacier]

ownedddd

[smoky token]

valve fans are the best

[pallid island]

Not every fan is like that though, but is the majority of them that are like that

[pallid island]

Yeah, but then after that they start saying racial slurs and stuff like that

[smoky token]

that’s just PC gamers

[pallid island]

If only valve controlled their fanbase........

[smoky token]

??

[pallid island]

and valve is a pc franchise

[smoky token]

untrue

[pallid island]

All of their games and stuff been made for the PC in mind

Since the start of the company

[smoky token]

CSGO, L4D 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2, and Half Life 1, 2, and both Portal games are on xbox

[pallid island]

those are ports bro and they didnt make them

they didnt make the ports, only the games and CSGO was made by another company

[smoky token]

CSGO was managed by valve

[pallid island]

until they realised csgo at the start was crap and they took over it and made it good

[smoky token]

lol

[pallid island]

yea but what about the console versions ohhh right outdated

they dont give a crap about console lol, they just get reminded they exist

and decide to port some of their games in them

[smoky token]

yeah that’s why they made the steam console and the steam deck right?

[pallid island]

like the only console game they cared was l4d2 and l4d

[pallid island]

steam deck is kinda of a PC

[quartz ridge]

Who told you this?

[smoky token]

if a steam deck is a PC then so is an xbox

[pallid island]

I mean literally TF2 existed and barely got updated on consoles

Meanwhile PC got all the content

[smoky token]

PC has the workshop

[pallid island]

In L4D and L4D2 (until 2013) they gave support to both consoles and PC

[quartz ridge]

Maybe because that was the platform that had the bigger audience

[smoky token]

honestly TF2 on PC is an anomaly

the game died on xbox in what, 2010? 2011?

[pallid island]

Heck they even wanted to give l4d2 xbox players free dlc like in pc but a little company called microsoft said they cant

[pallid island]

2008 or 2009 idk really

[smoky token]

and it came out in 2007

[pallid island]

And steam deck does too so is a pc technically

A portable PC gaming

[smoky token]

that’s-

that’s not-

no

it uses steam as a launcher

so it has all of steam’s features

that doesn’t mean it’s a PC

[pallid island]

Ok then why you can start it on desktop mode

[smoky token]

lmao

[pallid island]

And edit files and do stuff like in a pc you can

[smoky token]

simply doesn’t have as much stuff locked off like an xbox

[pallid island]

Oh well anyways, valve doesnt care about consoles as ive said, they prefer to make their own lol

[molten pelican]

you can sorta turn it into one, or at least make it run Windows🤷‍♂️

[elfin glacier]

the steam deck is a PC what

not windows sure but it's a Linux pc

[molten pelican]

PC seems closer to what it is than console imo

[hasty zinc]

I do not

[molten pelican]

I mean since it was made for gaming ig it could be considered a console. but if consoles were made for gaming than xbox kinda been doing their hybrid thing

Im thinking out loud-

I digress

[smoky token]

it’s OS was specifically made to be optimized for gaming on steam and nothing else

everything else you can do on it is just an extra feature from being linux

I'm excited, it's one of the like 2 total twitch drops I missed

[steady jolt]

What else you missing ?

[hasty zinc]

let me check

I'd have to compare with someone who has them all

[elfin glacier]

it's not an android situation where it's a heavily modified kernel with tons of different userspace components. It's pretty close to your average desktop Linux distro. I'd say it's way closer than say, chromeos is, to the average

[hardy island]
