[obsidian wyvern]

ok I've got so many reversals and no medal

[hasty zinc]

does bandit work

[hasty zinc]

thank you! it's legit not working

are you kidding me

[faint mantle]

I would just queue for husky and forget about it

Oh nice

[hasty zinc]

I emptied my bandit and the first person I saw I killed

[faint mantle]

Smart

[obsidian wyvern]

LMAO

[hasty zinc]

the real challenge is making it through this entire swat match

[hard crane]

Thank you, Dukes1339128

inb4 game crashes

[hard crane]

Are you gonna actually use the helmet tho?

[hasty zinc]

probably not

[thorny bough]

Good morning crusty crew

[hard crane]

Poor helmet

[rare cedar]

It supports the cat ears

[hasty zinc]

oh then maybe

[hard crane]

Of course the Kai helmet supportsbthe cat ears~

[normal owl]

Optimus Dimepiece, I christen it.

[rare cedar]

As seen here #general-chat message

[hasty zinc]

I've never been happier hearing "enemy team nearing victory"

[hard crane]

Throwing but for a good purpose

[silk narwhal]

Did you get it?

[hasty zinc]

nah not throwing

[normal owl]

[obsidian wyvern]

my god

[steady jolt]

Oh cool, BlueSky is officially open - no invite required

[obsidian wyvern]

sick

[rare cedar]

Wow you’re really ahead of me

[hasty zinc]

ok lets see if it tracks

LET'S GO!!

[obsidian wyvern]

WOOOO

[thorny bough]

wooooooo

[normal owl]

Shillimanjaro!

[hasty zinc]

I'm a shill again!!!!

[rare cedar]

Welcome back

[vast venture]

Congrats!

[hasty zinc]

attorney had that in his clipboard just waiting lmao

[amber mirage]

King of the Shill

[hasty zinc]

thanks for the motivation guys

[rare cedar]

Now rest for 2 hours and do the ultimate challenge again - get 3 no scopes in 1 game

[obsidian wyvern]

hey nonononono your job isn't over

[quaint canyon]

Infection forms look so silly until they get you.

[hasty zinc]

how about this. I get my shill title back until the new set of challenges

[obsidian wyvern]

but with how long this took, I might give you a pass

[hasty zinc]

thank you!

there I put it on

[thorny bough]

yay

halo theme plays*

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll be so upset if i can't find a good match for todays helmet

[hasty zinc]

oh I had some good clips from that match last night

[rare cedar]

I’m so happy I stayed up til 1am for this moment

[hasty zinc]

need to edit

[normal owl]

HaloWC2022 coating

[obsidian wyvern]

sleep lmfao

[rare cedar]

I will now rest happily

[normal owl]

I love that Xbox notifies you when a wish listed item is on sale. Not sure why they voluntarily save you money, but I'll take it.

[silk narwhal]

I’m pretty sure all gaming platforms do that

I know PlayStation and steam do

[hard crane]

Steam does via mail and a push if you have the app installed

[normal owl]

*pushes you down on the sidewalk* "Hey a game you want is on sale!"

[hard crane]

As efficient as it can be.

[normal owl]

"Ouch...but thank you."

[hasty zinc]

idk what's happened but I seem to be like 100x better with a sniper now than I ever was in other halo games

[normal owl]

Have you unrelatedly been eating more cheese?

[hasty zinc]

and that includes infinite up until like 4 months ago

[vestal sluice]

good deal

[hasty zinc]

that's my secret. I'm always eating cheese

[normal owl]

I have the disc but I've been buying digital copies of all my disc games as they go on sale because I like to instantly access my library on whichever console I'm using.

[hard crane]

wait, so my mom wasn't joking when she said eating cheese and drinking milk would make me stronger?

[thorny bough]

[normal owl]

[obsidian wyvern]

ok not a fan of how i can use the knife on this side but not the other side :/

[hard crane]

Well, if Dwight says so..

[thorny bough]

ooooooo

[hard crane]

who lives in a pineapple under the sea

[normal owl]

Never realized the emoji name for this was "HypeChief".

[normal owl]

There's one from the new Shop items that's horizontal and on the right shoulder, but from the Mark IV armor series.

[obsidian wyvern]

that would require spending money 😔

idk how I got suspension railway LOL

[normal owl]

Well Rev you refuse to accept the gift of microtransactions, so whose fault is that

[thorny bough]

hell ya

[obsidian wyvern]

that reaction felt threatening lmao

[hard crane]

Give in to the gift of MTX, Rev
you know deep inside you want it

[normal owl]

haha it did

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm not a big fan of that bundle tbh

[hard crane]

not yet

[thorny bough]

deeeeeep inside

you want it

[normal owl]

I do wish I could buy individual items. 38 bones for a few pieces scattered across 3 sets was a tough pill to swallow but ultimately worth it for Optimus Dimepiece.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah there's like 1 item from each bundle which I care for. I'm not spending all that for it

[hasty zinc]

I love this mod

[normal owl]

Is the mod yourself?

[hasty zinc]

no 😦

[normal owl]

honesty is pain

[candid schooner]

im sorry but do ppl actually like having the Extremely blatant and bright glow on everything from Turrets to Enemies and Vehicles

Cause I think it just kills the Visuals

[thorny bough]

how about this as a visual

🥹

hahaha

[normal owl]

[thorny bough]

purdyyyyyyy craig

[normal owl]

now that would be an incredible Halloween costume

[candid solar]

One would think he'd be Sailor Doisac, not Sailor Craig.

[thorny bough]

don't worry everyone, that is just Craig being Craig

it really would HAHA

[normal owl]

Jiralhoney

[candid schooner]

Cant even make an Atmospheric Firefight setting in forge cause these glowing outlines on everything just kill the vibe

should be a setting to turn that off for all players not just a personal setting

[thorny bough]

[normal owl]

I feel like glowing outlines in any setting would really improve the vibe actually.

[thorny bough]

helps me out

but i suppose it is different for some

[candid schooner]

ya my night time fog mission says otherwise

kills the entire vibe of the Firefight Missions when everythings just glowing

[candid schooner]

it does help but the older games had it too it just wasnt so Blatant and on everything super bright

[thorny bough]

true

[candid schooner]

if it was toned down like the old games and not put on the most random stuff like a Unmanned Turret it would be fine

At the very least an option to Remove it from the AI in Forge would be amazing

[thorny bough]

I am all for more options

[candid schooner]

any intelligent person should be id think, no real cons

[thorny bough]

🥹 did you just call me smawrrrrt

dawwww hahaha

[candid schooner]

you called yourself smart with that intelligent comment

[normal owl]

It would help if you arranged all of the reasons into an outline.

[thorny bough]

[candid schooner]

It might just make it worse

[candid solar]

... I'm surprised at how well Mark V Delta gets along with Hunter.

[candid schooner]

see looks better without it

now put a massive red glow over that armor and then tell me the setting looks good

[candid solar]

Looks good to me

[candid schooner]

that is ODST and you literally have the option to turn it off in game lol

and id argue that the night time aesthetics looks better without it

[thorny bough]

🤌

[candid solar]

More of a joke, but whatever.

[candid schooner]

why cant I post pics

[candid solar]

I think it's better than painting everything candy red, either way.

[candid schooner]

ya I mean id take ODST style over what we have in Halo infinite anyday

[fickle drift]

hii

[candid schooner]

what lvl you gotta be to post pics

I wanna show off my forge map

Or more so use it to explain my point

[thorny bough]

no idea, I just got here.

this isn't where I parked my car

[candid solar]

Not what I was talking about.

[candid schooner]

then what are you talking about

[candid solar]

This is.

[normal owl]

One of the best H5 weapon skins ever.

[candid solar]

I was more partial to the Osiris skin, but I wish it was on the BR and not the AR.

[silk narwhal]

Can someone ping me/dm me when the new challenges are up

[candid solar]

Left's what I actually wear. Right's what it would look like if it was DEFILED and RUINED by forced team colors.

[normal owl]

Speaking of, the Reconfigured album of the Tron Legacy soundtrack still rocks.

[obsidian wyvern]

6pm

[candid schooner]

thats fair im not really talking about PvP matches tho more so Firefight where this isnt needed

you dont need glowing outlines or forced team colors in Firefight

[candid solar]

You can disable outlines.

[candid schooner]

I can for Myself

[candid solar]

Cool. Problem solved.

[candid schooner]

I want to Disable them for Everyone in my game so no not solved

Im making a map not a personal SP mission

[obsidian wyvern]

there's a forge option im pretty sure

[candid schooner]

please tell me where

I will love you forever

[obsidian wyvern]

idk, but I remember it being requested and the forge team added it.. or they said they would

[normal owl]

It's on Google, I believe.

[candid schooner]

google sucks

[elfin glacier]

bing my beloved

[tardy thistle]

Rookies I use AOL

Kidding

[candid schooner]

AOL was the goat

[tardy thistle]

I actually never ever used it 🙃

[candid schooner]

I only used it to msg chicks in school

[normal owl]

ah yes, the one-way messaging system

[thorny bough]

yea, I'm blessed I didn't get into some trouble using AOL

[tardy thistle]

Wayyy out of my era lol I turned 24 like a few days ago

[candid schooner]

the future is now old man

[thorny bough]

I'm......33 haha

[tardy thistle]

Appreciate the late wishes haha

[candid schooner]

its in Custom Game Settings I think

[normal owl]

You're only as old as you feel

[rapid vortex]

You can disable outlines in your settings in Infinite.

[candid schooner]

so that will be pretty litty if that works

[obsidian wyvern]

it could be

[candid schooner]

I want to Disable it for everyone for my night map

[rapid vortex]

I have bad news

[candid schooner]

well I dont

[thorny bough]

thank goodness, in that case I'm proud to be in my 20's again haha

[candid schooner]

I already figure out how to fix it (hopefully)

[covert dove]

Love the name lmaooo

[normal owl]

That's just being 10/10 twice

[candid tusk]

Your gamertag was a tell. lol

Not that I blame you, Tommy and the gang rocked.

[thorny bough]

hell yes

[thorny bough]

The fact that you know, made my day

[covert dove]

And here I thought I felt old at 25…

[candid tusk]

Nah, you're only as old as you feel. We have plenty of people in the 30+ age group here.

[covert dove]

Fair, my dog keeps me on my toes lol

[obsidian wyvern]

imagine being above 20 🙄

[thorny bough]

ewwww haha

[analog knot]

Attacking peoples MCC ranks, I like it /s

[candid tusk]

The absolutely horror. 😱 Reminds me that I need to call about that burial consultation. Need to get my affairs in order.

[thorny bough]

Don't tell your wife

🤣

[obsidian wyvern]

better start counting your minutes

[candid tusk]

We're long term partners, she knows. It's all good.

[tardy thistle]

Honestly every year over 20 just feels like I I’m too old for what I like

[normal owl]

Well I've got the will & trust handled for you.

[tardy thistle]

Eventually I push that to the back of my head

[covert dove]

It really is true though, the older you get, the faster time feels to go by. Feel like the last 3 years of my life have gone by in the blink of an eye

[candid tusk]

I definitely feel this. Was having a really off day on Infinite a few days back and commented I need to change my gamertag to Geriatric Shezmu.

[tardy thistle]

I need to find a moment to just grind infinite but I gotta work like 8am sharp everyday. Least it’s at my own pace I could literally work for 3 hours then leave long as my works done

Benefits of being salary 🙏🏼

[candid tusk]

Not a benefit everywhere, but that's not a bad gig you've got going on.

[covert dove]

Salary is nice in some ways for sure, yeah

[tardy thistle]

I guess you’re right lol

[fickle drift]

The uh, challenges for this week, they for a helmet this time?

[obsidian wyvern]

H8 YOU GOT LESS THAN AN HOUR

[thorny bough]

lawd knows I need some Halo Infinite practice

[obsidian wyvern]

let's grind cmon cmon

[fickle drift]

smh man

[candid tusk]

Should be. Think it was silver team helmet each week.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll try help u rn if u need

[vestal sluice]

kais last week,riz this week and vannaks on week 4

[hard crane]

[tardy thistle]

They refresh today right? The weekly ultimate?

[obsidian wyvern]

if you can just change them all to like play matches, we can try zoom through them

[vestal sluice]

yes

[covert dove]

Squad battle/BTB is the way to go

[thorny bough]

yep

[obsidian wyvern]

aegis got it done in just over an hour

[tardy thistle]

Nice. I main Kai’s helmet now I fr just want the riz helmet

[candid tusk]

I find FF to be a guaranteed win if you're in need of win match challenges, not the heroic FF, but just normal.

[tardy thistle]

Gonna get back to work lol keep it good peeps

[obsidian wyvern]

think i found a new setup

[thorny bough]

Nice meeting all of you, I need foooooooooood

cheers 🫶

[candid tusk]

Yeah, this is really good looking.

[rapid vortex]

I prefer darker colors myself, but the choice of permutations is p nice

[obsidian wyvern]

thanks 😁

[ripe bane]

is it just me or does anyone else hate the bandit

[bronze breach]

Damn bus driver didnt open door for a guy who came late to bus stop and bus was stationary at traffic light

Savage driver

[rapid vortex]

I come from Reach so to me the Bandit is like my grandchild who I'm slightly less proud of than my child the DMR

oh- sorry, great grandchild, I forgot Halo 4 has a DMR as well. I guess that one's just the middle child I forgot

And the Halo 5 DMR got disowned.

[thorny bough]

Ohhh ma gawwwwd. You can leave voice notes 👀 hell ya

[hasty zinc]

@steady jolt

[bronze breach]

I was the first and last user to do a voice note. My voice note lies in the delete log 👍

[candid schooner]

you can really make some crazy good looking scenes in Forge

With the Volumetric fog and Playing around with lighting

[thorny bough]

Wait....is it gone now?!

[steady jolt]

Thanks

[hasty zinc]

np

[steady jolt]

Honestly can't stand this

[thorny bough]

Nooooo I just saw it 🤨

[bronze breach]

Yeah sam removed the permission since discord introduced it as a new feature that we regular folk not suppose to have

[steady jolt]

I wish you could self-remove it

[bronze breach]

Oh you have it?

[steady jolt]

Unfortunately

[thorny bough]

I love it because I get too lazy to type up everything haha

[bronze breach]

Can sam not disable it for admin roles? Or is it a server permission?

[obsidian wyvern]

admin role has access to everything

[normal owl]

I heard the voice note before Stckr deleted it. It said "I've never had the courage to say this, but Attorney is one of my favorite people in this server and a personal hero of mine. I am grateful for the auspicious day when he joined this server, and every moment since has been a joy." Or something to that effect.

[bronze breach]

Oh

[obsidian wyvern]

so you can't remove it if admin is enabled

iirc anyway

[bronze breach]

Rip

[hasty zinc]

it will take quite awhile before I can forgive you

[thorny bough]

But you will forgive 😌

[normal owl]

That emoji changed the sentence from menacing to hopeful.

[thorny bough]

yep, I'm playing some Infinite soon, I decided haha

[obsidian wyvern]

@hasty zinc u free to speedrun losing firefight matches real quick?

rushing to get h8 this ultimate

[fickle drift]

yo whats up

[hard crane]

the sky

[fickle drift]

ah yes the blue thing in the sky that i always thought was water

[hasty zinc]

SURE

oops caps

[hasty zinc]

I mean technically

[obsidian wyvern]

sick

join

[thorny bough]

And I always thought it was a blue light, scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. Speaking of waves, I ate but now I'm thirsty haha

🤓

[normal owl]

Your move, Aegis

[hasty zinc]

I was just saying there's all kinds of water in the sky

[thorny bough]

stopppppp I am thirstyyyyy

must.....get....waterrrr

[normal owl]

I like my water squeezed through crushed coffee beans.

[thorny bough]

🤌

[normal owl]

Bean juice

[thorny bough]

hell ya

[normal owl]

That is the one thing I would have trouble living without. I don't think I've done more than a few days without 2-3 cups of coffee in years.

[hard crane]

I have never ever drank coffee and I do not intend doing so, fight me

[forest lagoon]

It's all fun and games until you accidentally caffeine overdose 😅

[normal owl]

What happened?

[thorny bough]

uh oh, if you stop now you are going to withdrawal hard hahaha. Best to stay beaned up

[normal owl]

I sincerely admire that! Being able to live life without the manually added boost.

[steady jolt]

https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1204479408086192158

[normal owl]

"beaned up" lol

[thorny bough]

hehe

[hard crane]

It also helps my body and caffeine aren't doing too well together, I guess

[forest lagoon]

I had too much caffeine in one day, felt bad real bad, quite cold turkey and then two weeks later withdrawals hit. Two weeks after that my heart finally went below 100. Not a fun ride lol

[normal owl]

You can do the grind without the grounds.

[thorny bough]

I have a coffee maybe a couple times a week if I really need it, but I prefer tea like a crazy person

[normal owl]

Holy beans, that long? That would be scary.

[hasty zinc]

new gamertag inbound

[forest lagoon]

I don't recommend 2 monsters and 3 cups of coffee in one day

[hard crane]

I also really hate the taste of coffee lol.

[thorny bough]

holy sheeeeetmetal

[hasty zinc]

one black friday I put 8 espresso shots in a cup of coffee before opening at target

my heart hurt that day

luckily I didn't drink the whole thing

[forest lagoon]

To be fair, I was a bit sleep deprived that day and had forgotten I had coffee and a monster earlier in the morning when I got more that afternoon. I wasn't intentionally shotgunning it

[normal owl]

I'm sincerely happy nothing seriously permanent happened!

[forest lagoon]

But.... Then I stupidly did something similar a few months later

[normal owl]

You guys make my 2-3 cups seem like baby stuff. Weeclaimer level stuff.

[forest lagoon]

I've been good ever since. Not doing that again

[restive trench]

I slam a bottle of ice cold water and I'm up

[normal owl]

That's frightening to me because there's no way to manually throttle it back, just had to run its course.

[restive trench]

idc if it's 30 degrees I'll do it lmao

[thorny bough]

I will have ice cream in the snow

hahaha

[normal owl]

same

[restive trench]

Yo I got ice cream sandwiches in my freezer

[thorny bough]

omaaaagawwwwd

😋

[restive trench]

Gonna get me one while I'm playing ranked one night

[forest lagoon]

I learned that some of us because of genetics actually digest caffeine slower than others. Meaning we think we have a higher tolerance. In turn causes us to need more to get the same kick. We end up thinking that we actually go through it faster because it doesn't seem like we have enough.

In turn, we end up with a large backlog that the body has to process and can cause an "overdose" like effect before we even know it's happening

[normal owl]

Ordered 12 boxes of girl scout cookies from my little cousins and half are going into the freezer.

[thorny bough]

why are you torturing me 🥹

damnnnnnnn guysssss....lucky bastards

[normal owl]

That is so interesting, I didn't know about the backlog. That makes sense though, since the body can only process many other things at certain quantities over time.

[restive trench]

if my dad doesn't take the rest you'll get one

[normal owl]

Most are going to end up being snacks for client meetings, so I won't get to eat them.

[hard crane]

https://tenor.com/view/bill-comes-due-always-gif-18330490

still no gif perms is real pain since gifs is my second language ngl

[forest lagoon]

lol

[forest lagoon]

Clients will be happy though! Look at you getting those "brownie" points

[restive trench]

where perms

[normal owl]

Standing ovation

[normal owl]

Hair salon

[hard crane]

the perms fell in reach

[forest lagoon]

Perms are earned with time and and activity

[hard crane]

make sense
still painful

[forest lagoon]

Or just ask all the old ladies you know. They definitely know where the good perms are

[thorny bough]

where do I sign up for these.....meetings?

[steady jolt]

Lmao

[normal owl]

Yours will come, and I feel like yours will be especially hilarious

[forest lagoon]

I apologize. I missed this message 😭

[hard crane]

It will probably be me complaining about no perms only to realize I just got em or something

[forest lagoon]

Whenever you see "inheritor", then and only then young Padawan will you become a Jedi Knight

[restive trench]

That's a lot of Reach to play

[normal owl]

You just say "I need to talk about getting a will and/or trust" and boom you've got yourself a boring meeting full of legal details (but also GS cookies).

[hard crane]

I guess in the end of the day, the best gif perms is the perms you make along the way

(and this time it even make sense)

[thorny bough]

worth it

[sacred orchid]

Halo 3 ODST and reach are the best halos

[restive trench]

get your funny up and your money up = image perms

[normal owl]

With great power comes great responsibility.

[thorny bough]

Don't forget Halo 2, it counts 🥹

[hard crane]

With great catchphrase you get killed 2 times and once off-screen

[restive trench]

scorpion mix intensifies

[bronze breach]

With no power comes with reckless responsibility.

[sacred orchid]

That was my first halo so it’s okay

[restive trench]

I was a 3 baby

fr i didn't get into online gaming in general til 2007

[fickle drift]

I didn’t get the helmet for anyone who was invested earlier, truly a Greek tragedy

Weep for me for I have ran out of tears to shed

[hard crane]

Drop some F's for the boy

[restive trench]

f

[lofty karma]

why cant i open the shuttle doors in halo ce

[fickle drift]

idk master chief hasn't reached full potential

[lofty karma]

what

[fickle drift]

i said idk

its just a random thought

[thorny bough]

game time

[restive trench]

5 more hours and I can have game time too

[rapid vortex]

I'm down to group up if you're doing PvE

[sacred orchid]

Ranked halo infinite?

[rapid vortex]

unless you're playing Spartan Assault, because that's literally the only Halo game I don't have

[lofty karma]

you mean games

[rapid vortex]

PvP gets me too heated, so I opt out of it. Always.

[fickle drift]

is it just me or does anyone else want flood fire fight back ?

[restive trench]

Yes

[severe crystal]

yes badly

[fickle drift]

YES FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES

[rapid vortex]

It could be pretty cool to see the Flood's overwhelming numbers mix in with Halo Infinite's advanced movement mechanics.

That'd be peak intensity.

[fickle drift]

yea bro

[restive trench]

bring in cod zombies maps made in forge, easy W

[rapid vortex]

Imagine darting around the map, desperately avoiding and excitedly hunting

[severe crystal]

and on top of that the flood was so unique and menacing in a type of way because you can only contain it you can't cure it, nor can you stop it.

[fickle drift]

i could imagen that

[ionic goblet]

Darn, I was so close to getting Kai’s helmet. 😂

[severe crystal]

did it switch?

[soft wharf]

Omg it’s the guy from dead space discord

[vagrant summit]

Are the servers down? It's telling me multiplayer is unavailable :meruS:

[ionic goblet]

Yup. And I met the requirements for Reversals several times but the Medal never popped

[severe crystal]

im jus waiting for the riz helmet

[ionic goblet]

WagWan

[severe crystal]

so i can sweat ts and finish the challenges

[ionic goblet]

I’m going for Riz’s now

[rapid vortex]

Objection: Hearsay!

[fickle drift]

order in this court

[ionic goblet]

To be fair I did leave it a bit too long to get the challenges done, but I was at work all week so…

[severe crystal]

i love kais helmet

it took me time to adjust to the liking of it but i think its a unique helmet

but riz's helmet i love how clean and sleek it looks and how it actually look like an spartan with the attennas and all ts she had

[ionic goblet]

Nice dude. I’m going to get Riz’s helmet

[rapid vortex]

This season's new helmets are a bit blocky for my liking, though I do appreciate the effort put into making them look retro compared to other helmets.

Look at all the curves on the default mk IV helmet and you'll see what I mean.

[fickle drift]

true the good thing that 343 has done

[severe crystal]

yeah they look too bulky for the head

and kinda blocky, but other than that its cool to me

[fickle drift]

yea but remember halseys previous armor disigns

[thorny bough]

I'm starting off doing some Husky Raid, because....chaos haha

MUAHAHAHA!!

[fickle drift]

i usually do fire fight

[rapid vortex]

Same.

[fickle drift]

firefight is cool

[rapid vortex]

Firefight and campaign.

[fickle drift]

amen same

[rapid vortex]

Not Infinite's campaign though because it's not all that replayable tbh

[fickle drift]

true

[thorny bough]

yep haha

[rapid vortex]

I tried, but you can 100% it in less than a week and there's too little environmental variety 🤷‍♂️

[fickle drift]

i did the campaign in under 8hrs on legendary

[rapid vortex]

Sheeeeeeeesh

[fickle drift]

it was a living nightmare especially with jackle snipers

[fickle drift]

lol

[rapid vortex]

I guess you could say you were awakening the nightmare

[stoic pulsar]

I only see 6 gamemodes 😭

[stoic pulsar]

What happen?

[hushed swift]

question....Did 343 just move 200 credit pricing over from zacharias to isidor to make it look cheaper this week?

[fickle drift]

i finished halo infinite campaign in under 8hrs on legedary thats what happened Wonser

[fickle drift]

why is this funny

[rapid vortex]

Chief's kinda lost it upstairs with age, huh?

[fickle drift]

im dying from laughter this is too funny

ok ok im good

[obsidian wyvern]

firefight now shows your kill count

[pliant hatch]

yeah, came with the update

[meager lake]

Working out to halo music is insane

[fickle drift]

agreed

[forest lagoon]

That's why I made them

[sacred orchid]

i did it in five hours buddy

[silk narwhal]

You’re not gonna believe this bs. I just met people on Xbox that denied that I was Irish because I live in Northern Ireland

[steady jolt]

They're just trolling you

[dusty widget]

Aren't the people in northern ireland really gross or smth

[steady jolt]

No

Let's not go there

[silk narwhal]

They called me British and I got angry so instead of going through the process of leaving everything I just restarted my Xbox

[silk narwhal]

What do you mean by that

[candid solar]

Easiest solution; Don't care. Get on that duck's back grindset.

[silk narwhal]

???

[bold sparrow]

Water off a ducks back

[hard crane]

Weirdly enough, this week's ultimate challenge fits like a glove to Kai's helmet

[candid solar]

That's probably the idea.

[hard crane]

Shame it wasn't used for Kai's helmet last week then😂

[candid solar]

Maybe it's secretly foreshadowing for Season 2.

[hard crane]

Getting 5 sniper kills in a single match or a no scope is foreshadowing?

[round laurel]

jc dude

[sacred orchid]

yep, you guys are cooked just like the UK

Also thats not a virus link if youre scared of that type of thing

[fickle drift]

I love how we’re allowed to talk crap about 343 here but not swear in the slightest

[topaz gazelle]

halo infinite is becoming more like spartan dress up the game

[tight remnant]

The only issue with that is how expensive that is and paid exclusive

Also we don't have assassinations to go into third person and look at our amazing spartans kill another in a stylish fashion

[uneven holly]

Mhm assassinations would be cool

[tight remnant]

Even from a monetary point of view it makes sense because people want to see their spartans, so that gives a chance to do that

[uneven holly]

Mhm I'm reluctant on spending money on stuff cuz I like never see it myself really

[pliant hatch]

they'd have to get creative considering how many they had in h5.

[uneven holly]

I thought the infected outfits were sick and even some of the new ones but they are also super pricey

[topaz gazelle]

i really wait that 343 waste the money of thoose who buy on store, on a BIG project, fr

[halcyon vale]

ooh can this one be done in firefight? or pvp only

[fickle drift]

yo

[tight remnant]

Pvp

[eternal ginkgo]

just finished halo ce

[topaz gazelle]

its ironic to think that: master chief, that is just a super strong soldier, could destroy an entire halo ring

[topaz gazelle]

before i've finished infinite

[halcyon vale]

alright ty

[topaz gazelle]

but in what difficult?

[pliant hatch]

not really. He needed help.

[rapid vortex]

My first game was Reach and it was the only Halo game I had until the MCC, so I got to play the FPS games in chronological order. Good times, man

[candid solar]

No, I meant the one for Kai's helmet.

[topaz gazelle]

i mean, yeah i understand that he needed: cortana, keyes neural implants, to destroy pillar of autumn, etc, but even so, i don't "think" it was that much, it was just 10 missions.

[rapid vortex]

Why did you put think in quotation marks

[bronze breach]

Next mainline Chief will purge the silver timeline from existence.

[rapid vortex]

that's ominous, what form of creature are you?

[bronze breach]

The Anti-Monitor.

[topaz gazelle]

when chief will use mark 7?

why do mark 7 core used cavallino helmet, i mean, i didn't search for the lore so sorry, but, why couldn't use the original helmet?

[rapid vortex]

Personally, I'd rather he went the way that Halo Wars' Red Team went. Same armor, but upgraded to the latest systems.

[eternal ginkgo]

first time playing, so take ur guess

[rapid vortex]

Mk IV was GEN1, whereas we're now in GEN3, I think.

[topaz gazelle]

normal?

[pliant hatch]

in the game, yes, but it probly took much longer to do since we don't have the actual time between them except in one instance when cortana says he was running around for 12 hours.

[rapid vortex]

Yeah, there was definitely a sizable time gap between some of the missions, like Halo to The Truth and Reconciliation, and that to The Silent Cartographer.

[pliant hatch]

there would be a lot of logistics to coordinate

[rapid vortex]

The Master Chief undeniably did a lot for one man, though.

For one man.

[modest osprey]

Why is every piece of halo lore always like

*some of the most interesting characters with fun personalities that you want to see more of

*ONI:

[bronze breach]

Then in Halo 5, when he decides to take an unauthorised holiday for the first time in his career, all hell breaks loose lol

[rapid vortex]

The writers are passive-aggressively trying to tell you that they're in trouble

[thin kestrel]

Anyone else own all of the Y1 Launch HCS bundles from when they first came out and it's still asking to pay 1,000 credits to own it?

[bronze breach]

Unsc is basically like jenga, if chief goes.. the whole unsc collapses lol

[rapid vortex]

their corporate overlords have them held in contempt of profit margins

and that sentence I just spewed has way too many buzzwords for my comfort-

[rapid vortex]

True.

Remember that time he went to sleep in space for a little while and then woke up to find the entire UNSC shattered?

[modest osprey]

Halo lore basically just boils down to “oni bad”

Also really i cant swear?

[bronze breach]

Family friendly server

[modest osprey]

Ah

[bronze breach]

Was actually surprised chief lost to atriox

Must have been emotional for losing once in his life

[rapid vortex]

I was surprised Atriox died off-screen

[topaz gazelle]

whats the most forsaken halo game you could imagine?

[hasty zinc]

don't let @obsidian wyvern drive

[candid solar]

Halo 2, but it's Spartan Strike gameplay on IOS.

Everything else is exactly the same.

Spartan Strike has good gameplay on MKB.

[rapid vortex]

Halo 4. Everyone would've forgotten it if it wasn't in the MCC, because it's just that one game that people figured was fine in retrospect of Halo 5.

[candid solar]

Which is hilariously unfair.

[hasty zinc]

since it's the best game in the franchise

[candid solar]

... I say that like there's humor in it.

[topaz gazelle]

was that sarcasm or opnion?

[median mirage]

💀

[hasty zinc]

opinion

[obsidian wyvern]

(he didn't include the 3 or 4 other times in that one match LOL)

[hasty zinc]

I didn't want to make you look like a monster lol

[topaz gazelle]

if it have to say whats most forsaken season or operation on halo infinite, need to be combined arms.

[bold sparrow]

Yes. Its just a glitch, Im using the pistol skin it says I have to buy on my Sidekick right now.

[topaz gazelle]

does anyone here is on hero rank???

on halo infinite

[bold sparrow]

Most grinders for that dont spend time on social servers. They've got their little group of grinder friends and they dont reach out beyond that.

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm so close, just another 13 months

[thin kestrel]

Thanks for letting me know, glad I'm not the only one in the boat. Hope it gets fixed soon.

[obsidian wyvern]

free item in the shop this week

[thorny glen]

[coral reef]

how can i preview what the lunar coil coating looks like on my spartan cause the shop only lets me see it on my mark7 core

[candid solar]

I feel like more people should do some brainteasers and puzzle games and such.

[obsidian wyvern]

[hasty zinc]

daaang

[normal owl]

NICE stckr! Just got off the phone with a client and caught up. Looks like the whole music angle was indeed a colossal waste of time for me lol.

[bronze breach]

Why am I so sleepy at 8:10pm

[amber mirage]

Go to bed

Enjoy a good night's rest

[scenic heron]

How is metal gear solid 4 not on steam?

[bronze breach]

Wish there was a disable feature for human sleep

[elder granite]

Sir,

(doesn't continue line)

[twilit vector]

When will we get more stuff with fire team crimson ( the player characters fire team

[candid solar]

Never, most likely.

[twilit vector]

Kinda sucks we have to pay for the emblem though

[elder granite]

only real chads still play halo 3

[twilit vector]

I play halo reach since it has the best customization

[elder granite]

W

[twilit vector]

( best customization as in we can manually change the colors)

[elder granite]

Halo VR = absolute banger

[twilit vector]

I like the idea of coatings
But maybe next game have it to where we can actually change the colors of it

Just give use the base 32 colors
Then you can sell the rest for all i care

[elder granite]

im not gonna shut up about halo vr because its too good of an idea.

[elder granite]

fr

[twilit vector]

People love to change the amror but they also love to change the colors

[fickle drift]

amen bro

[robust holly]

Sup genreal

[fickle drift]

whats up snake

[twilit vector]

I wonder what the next halo project is about

[hasty zinc]

probably about Halo

[candid solar]

No way.

[obsidian wyvern]

got a build i like

[fickle drift]

from what ive heard the arbiter might be in the next campaign update that supposied to be this year

[robust holly]

Nothing much

[twilit vector]

Well whats was the best alternative reality core

[hasty zinc]

sorry 4 leak

[steady jolt]

Nothing like that is happening this year lol

[fickle drift]

thats what ive heard

[hasty zinc]

lol

[steady jolt]

I honestly don't know where people pull this stuff from

[hasty zinc]

I was about to say

[candid solar]

I heard Arbiter dies peacefully in his bed at the ripe old age of however old he is, with his tearful lover in John-117 mourning at his side.

[twilit vector]

And what iv heard is halo on PlayStation.
And idea i hope is false

[steady jolt]

Like is it just a couple folk thinking the most ridiculous things and then making tweets?

[obsidian wyvern]

im gonna randomly pin this one on halo follower

[fickle drift]

no way silver really ?

[hasty zinc]

halotubers probably

[twilit vector]

Yeah mintz even believes it

[steady jolt]

Don't believe everything you see on Twitter and YouTube

[candid solar]

Mint believing something is a surefire way of knowing it's either not true or he's horribly misinterpreting it.

[elder granite]

children playing halo = easy target

[steady jolt]

Don't buy into the clickbait

[hasty zinc]

I heard they're gonna add a point and click adventure game campaign expansion that ties into the new Beetlejuice movie

[twilit vector]

He has been going downhill for a while

[hasty zinc]

(although I would totally play that)

[elder granite]

i was saying that in a competitive way not a other way.

[fickle drift]

kids playing halo is the funnist thing when they rage it sounds like they are breaking the sound barrier

[obsidian wyvern]

just met a 343 employee at the cinema, told me the next game is gonna have playable rats

[twilit vector]

I forgot they where making a new movie

[hasty zinc]

ong?

[twilit vector]

I hope its good

[fickle drift]

ong?

[elder granite]

fr?

[obsidian wyvern]

no cap

[twilit vector]

That would be pretty funny

[hasty zinc]

[twilit vector]

Use the halo 3 rats

[fickle drift]

YEAAA THE HOLY RAT IS BACK

[elder granite]

this finna be me

in the new halo game lol.

[fickle drift]

ALL HAIL THE RAT

[candid solar]

Why must this exist to plague my existence.

[twilit vector]

I hope we get a way to earn ultimate rewards again later because i forgot to do the ultimate rewards yesterday

[elder granite]

i hope the new game gets added to game pass

[vestal sluice]

why wouldnt it?

[hasty zinc]

I dont think you will have to worry about that lol

[fickle drift]

i hope the new game doesn't cost 80 dollars and takes 3hrs to play and suck man that would suck

[steady jolt]

Any new games won't be out for quite a while

Not even ready to announce anything any time soon

[twilit vector]

Hope they dont got overboard on micro transactions

[fickle drift]

lol

here is a $ 80 DLC that is not fun and is absolute dog water

[candid solar]

Halo 3 ODST!?

[fickle drift]

what about ODST

[twilit vector]

Oh another odst game would be nice

[fickle drift]

fun wise yea it was a helluva time

[candid solar]

They don't know

[bold sparrow]

Both.

[fickle drift]

why is there a orca

[bold sparrow]

Because.

[fickle drift]

*deep breath * HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING WTF

[bold sparrow]

The same way I play with a controller.
Telepathy.

It is mildly annoying to pull off more complicated manouvers in game without the use of opposable thumbs but I manage

Ask Trench how he plays using birb feet

[fickle drift]

my brother in christ you are an animal how are you doing stuff that humans are ment to do

[drifting marsh]

question

[bold sparrow]

Sentience

[drifting marsh]

is there an easter egg or glitch to be invisible outside the field in illusion?

in just the normal illusion 24/7 playlist

[round laurel]

Uh, not that I'm aware of. Why?

[drifting marsh]

i saw someone doing it and i have it in theater rn

[fickle drift]

what is going onnn

out of topic but i really wish that in this or the next year AI advances enough so that halo fans can finally create the quadrillionth " How chief vs locke fight should've went " on a dedicated platform to posting these ai generated things

[round laurel]

I'm not sure if there is an active camo pickup on Illusion, so make sure he didn't pick that up first lol.

[fickle drift]

they'd finally stop flooding youtube

[drifting marsh]

he got a killing spree and then started cloaking

[fickle drift]

first we have a talking orca then we have a spartan then we have a bird named shled then we have a dude name connor what is going on

[fickle drift]

What? Is connor that rare of a name?

[candid solar]

We already got the most annoying versions of that. Why would we need more generated via a crappy algorythm?

[round laurel]

Wait, since when am I a bird?

[fickle drift]

idk you look like one from your pfo

[round laurel]

Oh that's Rayman, a limbless French-thing.

[fickle drift]

oh

[candid solar]

None of them were even accurate, and this franchise's fans tend to be too damn uncreative to actually take an interesting look at the scene a'la Astartes and actually have the fight go as it would. In favor of 'hurr durr IVs bad, haha, funni kick'.

[fickle drift]

cause then as i said that would stop flooding youtube, those that made those videos there could release all pent up frustration they have for one or another reason, and no matter what they generate we'd be free of more things like these cause we wouldn't have to ever even risk seeing one of these again

[candid solar]

It'd really just exacerbate the problem. I mean, that's an issue with AI in general, because it regurgitates garbage.

[fickle drift]

yes, cause chief would surely want to kill a guy when there are 3 supersoldiers aiming at him with brs that also have thrusters

[normal owl]

I like that, man! Almost like there's a red crystal energy inside trying to make its way out.

[candid solar]

Someone did some stupid version where Chief solo'd Osiris, and that's still one of the dumbest takes on the fight I've ever seen that was even trying to take any of it seriously.

[fickle drift]

Well, that was a thought i got out of the blue so

[candid solar]

And I'm gonna take it seriously, damn it.

[fickle drift]

i don't think we should really thing about it anymore

[candid solar]

Oh, no, I'm gonna storyboard that crap. There's a way it should go that isn't memery.

I'm gonna think about it way more.

[soft wharf]

Spartan IVs are lame

[candid solar]

You're lame.

[normal owl]

oh crap I have 2 days to finish Halo TV season 1. I got caught up in Star Trek Discovery after getting Paramount+.

[soft wharf]

They’re not interesting at all

[candid solar]

Sorry that you can't think about things like that laterally.

Lmao

[soft wharf]

Bruh. Anyways their armor doesn’t look good at all, mark iv and v are better,

[candid solar]

They can and do wear both, so.

[normal owl]

at the same time

[fickle drift]

Are you both sure you want to do this? You do know the consequences, right?

[soft wharf]

They pale in comparison to Spartan II and IIIs tho

[candid solar]

Not really. There's several thousand, they canonically match strength in armor, they're trained by IIs and IIIs.

[soft wharf]

They’re more like power rangers, and they act super corny.

[normal owl]

Yes, the consequences are insignificant because this doesn't actually matter IRL.

[soft wharf]

Spartan IIs and IIIs are much better soldiers.

[candid solar]

"More like Power Rangers". So... Incredibly overpowered.

[soft wharf]

They’re goofy bruh

[candid solar]

Not really, because they aren't soldiers.

[soft wharf]

Bro what

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/black-falcon-key-and-peele-gif-26018693

[bold sparrow]

Someone needs to do Astartes for us

[candid solar]

Naval personnel aren't soldiers. Also, every IV is a military veteran, in many cases for decades, before they were Spartans.

They had to fight through the Human Covenant War the hard way while the IIs were sitting out the biggest battles and most drawn out campaigns in air conditioned comfort.

[soft wharf]

So Navy Seals aren’t soldiers? Okay.

[fickle drift]

Well, of course it doesn't. Which does not change the fact i still don't want them to go at it.

[candid solar]

You literally said why they aren't Soldiers in the first 3 words.

[soft wharf]

More like saving humanity

[soft wharf]

Okay

[fickle drift]

I really don't get what are either of you sayin'.

[soft wharf]

He likes spartan IVs, I don’t.

[candid solar]

I mean, you don't like them for reasons that are misconceptions or flat out wrong, so.

[soft wharf]

Spartans are an operational soldiers, that’s still a soldier, just like the navy seals. You don’t make any sense.

[hard crane]

What have I stepped into

[fickle drift]

And you haven't changed, from what i see. Good luck.

[candid solar]

"They're not soldiers". Yes, because former regular non-Spartan veterans, including ones older than some IIs, aren't soldiers.

I mean, barring the fact that Marines, Airmen, and Sailors aren't Soldiers by definition of branch, it's still just a goofy take to have.

[soft wharf]

They’re corny, their armor looks lame, and they got wiped out.

[normal owl]

Take it to the #lore-and-universe cage.

[candid solar]

Literally too many of them to be wiped out.

[soft wharf]

There is no take, they’re still operational soldiers, sent for deployment.

[candid solar]

We actively know of several who are currently and persistently operating post-Created uprising.

[fickle drift]

I thought whilst showering i really wish that those who make content about how chief would beat locke will be able to use AI to do that in this or next year, this spiraled out of control as you see

[soft wharf]

They got wrecked by an AI and the banished

[candid solar]

How many IIIs are there again?

Oh, wait.

Barely any because they all got shot.

[soft wharf]

They’re just missing in action 😎

[candid solar]

That's literally coping in-universe, lmao.

[fickle drift]

Ekhem. Please, for the love of god, listen to us.

[candid solar]

As well as upcoming classes, such as the ones you play as in Infinite's multiplayer. Crimson's also up and active, Apollo, random other groups with side mentions that are consistently mentioned.

[hard crane]

I'm afraid they're too much in it rn

[bold sparrow]

Jormungundo is active.

[fickle drift]

I suppose so... I've been there. I'll give 'em time.

[bold sparrow]

If I had to guess all the teams you can get emblems for in Inifite are still active

[candid solar]

We know Crimson and Apollo are still active.

[bold sparrow]

The Ferrets are

[candid solar]

We're talking IVs, not IIIs

Plus the entire population of Spartans at AJJAMS.

[soft wharf]

They’re all lame looking armor cores. The only cool ones are the Mark IV and Halo Reach one.

[candid solar]

Cool, I really don't care about your opinion on aesthetics though.

[fickle drift]

Care to explain what that is?

[soft wharf]

Lame and corny

[candid solar]

The academy you are at in Halo Infinite's multiplayer.

[fickle drift]

ah, alright.

[candid solar]

Avery J Johnson Academy of Military Science.

[bronze token]

Is there a way to see unlisted customizations in the armor hall/weapon bench? Like for Mk 4 in the shop and event pass it says there are customizations but they aren't in armor hall so is there a way to see them?

[soft wharf]

If the Spartan IVs were so cool why did they get wiped out by the banished which is basically comprised of the same enemies that previous generations fought in the covenant war?

[candid solar]

Plot contrivance, most didn't get wiped out with a max possible of around 300~, and that's assuming they literally all died. Which canonically isn't the case.

[hard crane]

DO NOT GET IN

[candid solar]

At absolute worst it's basically the same crap that happened to the IIIs.

[fickle drift]

I'm not trying to.

[soft wharf]

Most of the Spartans chief comes across all got mopped

[hard crane]

Resist the temptation, you're better than this

[fickle drift]

I see that, It's tempting to atleast write something along the lines of a third party, but since you told me specifically not to do it, i shan't do it.

[soft wharf]

Pretty much all of them died.

[fickle drift]

Oh. Great minds think alike, lol

[soft wharf]

Lame Spartan IVs can’t even kill brutes or elites

[candid solar]

Is that bait, or blindness?

[soft wharf]

Like bruh 💀

[hard crane]

Resist brother, resist.

[candid solar]

Like, are you actually being serious and actually don't know, or is that bait?

[soft wharf]

I was at least expecting to at least fight alongside at least one Spartan IV but they all got killed, even the marines you find outlasted them. That’s embarrassing bro.

[candid solar]

Not really. We already know the Banished actually let out Marine POWs and preferred to just hunt down and outright kill Spartans instead of capturing them.

[severe flame]

this has gotta be bait no way you lack this much critical thinking

[soft wharf]

Spartan IVs are lame, that’s why they all got wrecked in Halo Infinite

They got caught lacking.

If they were good soldiers you would’ve saw some of them live. But you didn’t. They all died.

Some lame people

[candid solar]

No, I think they might actually be as clueless as you think.

[fickle drift]

I really find it interesting that there are so similiar people out there, or that even people we know nothing about manage to recreate this when making fictional characters

[livid oyster]

My opinion is the banished are much more ruthless than the covenant. A lot of SIIs survived because the covenant didn’t want to destroy the artifacts that were around them

[soft wharf]

Did you not play the game?

[livid oyster]

Plus the banished will use any weapons in the vicinity, the covenant would not use human weapons

[candid solar]

Did you?

[soft wharf]

The covenant were already doing that, it was elites that didn’t.

Plus the covenant were more technologically advance than the banished

[soft wharf]

Yeah and I saw all the Spartan IVs in that game dead.

[candid solar]

Yet you missed the literal piles of bodies around 2 of them.

[hard crane]

As someone who never consumed halo before Infinite I have to say it's refreshing seeing people arguing about something in a fanbase I'm part of but without understanding anything

[fickle drift]

i kind of appreciated a good bait in times past, but now i can see the only thing you can describe it accurately with are considered closer to evil than good.

[candid solar]

And the audio logs explaining, in detail, how bad the situation actually was for them.

And didn't read the book, also, again, explaining, in detail, the situation they were in.

Or keep up with the ancillary media on the site, again, also explaining, in detail, additional situations.

[soft wharf]

And some of them just died like that, one of them died I think from a sword? I can’t really remember, the campaign is forgettable.

[soft wharf]

Why would I read the book? When I can play the games.

[livid oyster]

I may need a source, because I’m pretty sure the prophets forbade the use of human weapons

[candid solar]

So you can't make solid statements, so your opinions in this matter should not be considered.

Understood. Glad we had this conversation.

[livid oyster]

And technologically advanced doesn’t mean much if you don’t use the technology

[soft wharf]

That’s the problem with halo’s narrative nowadays, you need to read a book to understand something in the next game. That is really bad.

[candid solar]

Oh, no, you don't need to read a book to understand that a IV who is surrounded by over 20 corpses, most of which were elites and brutes, killed them.

[sinful karma]

How are people all over twitter using halo infinite mods without being banned

[soft wharf]

All I know is that Spartan IVs all died

[normal owl]

"refreshing" lol

[fickle drift]

hey, yalls like pancakes or pies more?

[soft wharf]

The brutes were already using human weapons

[fickle drift]

I kinda get him.

[soft wharf]

Grunts too and jackals too to a degree

[hard crane]

I'm serious lol, I'm legit thankful for not being able to get baited and dragged to these stuff even if I wanted to

[normal owl]

Pies: more complexity, depth, and flavor. Pancakes really hit the spot, but pies are a whole other level.

[soft wharf]

You just mentioned a book in your previous comment

[candid solar]

This was in the game.

[hard crane]

Turns out being clueless is a blessing in disguise after all

[soft wharf]

Halo infinite’s campaign was boring and forgettable

Why would I go out of my way to get collectibles? When the story isn’t engaging at all and was poorly written

[candid solar]

Being clueless but capable of lateral thinking and contextual observation is better than being clueless and egotistical, as this is currently a prime demonstration of the frustrations of dealing with.

[fickle drift]

I don't have all that much experience in either, but i can agree pancakes are simpler and that so far i also like pies more

[normal owl]

It's like watching a fight outside of a bar that's all messy because the people are sloshed and stumbling while their significant others are yelling "guysss stop it!"

[livid oyster]

If you wanted to understand why chief was the ‘last’ spartan you have to read the very first book

[soft wharf]

Unnecessary, Halo CE already conveys it pretty well since we don’t see any other Spartan and some of the marines are surprised to see one.

[normal owl]

cinnamon apple pie with that crumbly topping. Heaven.

[hard crane]

I always said there are 3 stages of wisdom: being smart, being stupid and being too stupid to know something but smart enough to zip it

[covert dove]

The series will always be better when Chief was the “last” spartan

[fickle drift]

You seem like you're into another thing you shouldn't be in judging from the way you write, but whatevs. It's better to be suspected by some random than to... Well, you ain't blind, neither do I think so.

[hard crane]

It's like watching a fight outside of a bar and cheering for both sides cause you're a dentist

[fickle drift]

one of the few times i regret that i am not british

[normal owl]

LOL that's one I haven't heard before

[livid oyster]

No it doesn’t. Halo CE left a lot of mystery. Which isn’t a bad thing, but it certainly didn’t convey anything

[soft wharf]

There’s also a throwaway line that Cortana says in the game “this war already has enough dead heroes”

[hard crane]

Wdym?

[normal owl]

It's a common American pie, so if you're in America then you're in luck!

[candid solar]

Honestly, I wish I didn't feel as inclined as I am to get into arguments with people who are incapable and unwilling to actually observe or recognize their shortcomings. It's good writing practice though.

[hard crane]

It's a win win situation

[fickle drift]

Sadly, i am nowhere near close. I am a proud european. and from what is considered eastern or central europe, depending on the geopolitical situation

[soft wharf]

I’m sure you type all of this stuff on your notepad to make yourself feel better.

[normal owl]

"I'll hold your teeth in escrow at this office address."

[normal owl]

Well perhaps it's available there simply by another name, which is very common for baked goods. Central/Eastern Europe has some amazing baked goods!

[hard crane]

And you end up getting cheap entertainment AND new patients!

[candid solar]

Nah. I just wonder how some people manage to breathe without outside assistance and go on with my life when it's over.

[soft wharf]

I’m sure you typed that in notepad too.

[fickle drift]

I could tell you, but i never really explained to myself why that thing is bad, so that'd take a lot of time. I'm a bit afraid of being ridiculed, too. But, that isn't that much of a problem. What is the reason i won't tell you that, atleast today, is the fact i am tired and have to wake up at some hour tommorow, sadly.

Alright lads, it was good talking with you, but as i said, I'm tired. Attorney, Dusk, i sent you friend requests.

[hard crane]

You could always explain in DM I guess, but whatever suits you

Also good night

[candid solar]

People ridiculing you is far from the worst thing that could happen. It's actually pretty damn easy to ignore once people just start trying to say crap to get under your skin.

Again, examples above, lmao.

[hard crane]

People ridiculing you should only influence you (even that just maybe) if you actually care about what the other side thinks about you; 99% of the time its a complete stranger from the other side of the world who won't even remember you exist an hour later

[candid solar]

The solution to the problem is always just a right click and a left click away.

[hard crane]

Nah I'm always into debates and disagreements even if they escalate a bit, your mouth exist for reasons and one of them is vocalizing your opinions to the world

Just don't take the other side too seriously and it's a non-problem

[severe flame]

how about all the dead spartan 2s from past halo? are they bad because they died? how about the thousands of dead spartan 3s?

[soft wharf]

They were at least fighting an enemy they didn’t know how to fight

[candid solar]

Oh, I meant in terms of just letting it go once the subject devolves into dumb crap like 'I bet you use notepad lol'

[severe flame]

yeah and the 4s weren't exactly prepped for the banished either

[obsidian wyvern]

but now it's replaced my fnatic setup 😩

need custom kits rnrn

[soft wharf]

But Spartan IVs already knew what they were up against, they know the species within the banished. It’s a familiar enemy.

[soft wharf]

Dude the banished is literally comprised of all the old covenant faction species

[candid solar]

So?

[soft wharf]

Again they’re a familiar foe

Another reason why I dislike the banished, they’re basically red covenant. I would’ve liked if they actually introduced an entirely new alien faction, would’ve made a lot more sense.

[candid solar]

Again, so? That's one factor of thousands in the equation.

[hard crane]

Oh well, yep there's also that.
When the entire discussion turns into who can throw the best ad-hominem at the other what's even the point anymore? You're not arguing about who's right at that point, just trying to make each other feel bad

[soft wharf]

And have the old covenant splinters either join the elites and therefore an alliance with the UNSC, or just do their own thing.

Would’ve made it really interesting, like fighting with the vortigants against the combine in half life.

Instead they just presented the same enemy in a different color, it’s so lame and cheap.

[severe flame]

the spartan 4s on the ring were scattered and HEAVILY outnumbered

and still put up a hell of a fight

[normal owl]

Turn those ad-hominems into dodgeballs and we have ourselves a good time.

[soft wharf]

Lame. Give me new, fun enemy to fight.

[candid solar]

No reinforcement, no rearmoring, cut off from command, no idea that the Weapon was even on their ring chunk or that she even existed, stuck with far fewer Marines and ODSTs over Naval noncombat personnel, specifically called out and hunted, constantly having tapped communications.

[fickle drift]

I'm waiting for Target to confirm my purchase is in stock so I can go get my early birthday present.

[hard crane]

I was pretty good at dodgeball in highschool!
Admittedly it was mostly because people kinda forgot I'm also playing.
But hey, a win is a win

[hard crane]

Early happy birthday!

[normal owl]

That's their problem: poor surveillance to counter incoming dodgeballs.

[normal owl]

Happy Premature Birthday!

[fickle drift]

Thanks, it's a little over a month early but the sale is too good.

[obsidian wyvern]

Spartan horvath is still kicking

[hard crane]

They could've never seen me coming... Because they never expected me to come. THE BEST STRATEGY

[obsidian wyvern]

I hope

[normal owl]

lol ok so it's more simply a Treat Yoself thing, which I respect and admire.

[candid solar]

Two other unnamed survivors got off the ring chunk, Kovan's presumably still around, nobody knows what happened to Vettel.

[hard crane]

I gotcha, I always do that to myself near my birthday
Nothing wrong with treating yourself

[normal owl]

It's true, he rides the bench for Manchester United.

[fickle drift]

I really want an OLED tv for my office to game on, so I bought one with the superbowl sales/red card discounts.

[obsidian wyvern]

isn't kovan dead

[normal owl]

It's a little over a month before my birthday too...time to treat myself???

[obsidian wyvern]

and I think vettel went MIA

[candid schooner]

love getting kicked out of my Solo Forge game due to server error....

[candid solar]

Kovan? No. Her armor's gone but her last appearance was otherwise fine.

[fickle drift]

Yes! What March day are you?

[normal owl]

oh good move, there are some DELICIOUS deals right now on those.

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

[hard crane]

https://tenor.com/view/treatyoself-treatyo-treatyourself-treat-azizansari-gif-5822373

I had to

[obsidian wyvern]

I should read the Rubicon protocol again

[normal owl]

the Ides. A great time for a BYOK toga party with your trusted friends.

that's Bring Your Own Knife

[candid solar]

Bring Your Own Komrade

[normal owl]

lol!

[fickle drift]

Just a few days before mine on the 19th.

[obsidian wyvern]

yours is 15th right

[normal owl]

Correct

[obsidian wyvern]

aye I got it right. I remember it was like a week after ickys

[normal owl]

Do you ever just go out on St Pat's and let all of America throw a green party for your bday? I do that because it takes zero planning and everyone wilds out for my bday (in my head).

[normal owl]

March babies unite!

[obsidian wyvern]

ok looks like I was wrong about ickys by a day lol. might've got lucky

[fickle drift]

I do not. Which is sad because I'm half Irish. I never embrace it tho.

[normal owl]

It's a phenomenal value: you go to some bar crawl, tell them it's also your bday in a week, and everyone celebrates you all day.

[normal owl]

This was the only right call to make.

[fickle drift]

I don't do bars, so maybe that's why. I really don't drink or do anything "spicy" so to speak. I'm pretty reserved.

[normal owl]

Hey I feel that. I enjoy the aforementioned rowdy times once in a while, but the overwhelming majority I definitely prefer low-key.

I don't really seek out rowdy times so much as, once in a while, they're a good way to exorcise stress.

[fickle drift]

My idea of a good time lately is listening to dean martin, baking, and hanging with my cats. So I am basically 75 years old.

[normal owl]

You misspelled "classy and understand what quality time really is".

[thorny bough]

Add some more of the rat pack and Perry Como, some wine, maybe a grilled cheese, and I'll be right over

[grizzled gazelle]

With some of the stuff Kieth David is in... where's my Arbiter musical number?

[steady jolt]

If Dean Martin is on, I'm in

[thorny bough]

🤌 Dino is finnnnneeeee as hell

[normal owl]

I did not see this squad coming: Stckr Santana Robin

[fickle drift]

[thorny bough]

Squaaaaaaaad!!!!

[fickle drift]

hello?

[thorny bough]

🥹

[hasty zinc]

depending on the issue you are inquiring about it can take a few days to a few weeks

[normal owl]

So I just got my modeling check and, after siphoning parts away to various budget items, I have enough left over...for a second Series X. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[fickle drift]

so i have to waitto get my money back from a game breaking bug for A FEW WEEKS!?

[steady jolt]

Haven't really had to submit many tickets on retail, so I'm not sure

[thorny bough]

Ohhhhmaaaagawwwwwd

[steady jolt]

Are you refunding the game, or is it something else?

[normal owl]

I shouldn't.

...and yet...

[steady jolt]

WHOA

[thorny bough]

No, you totally should

[fickle drift]

[obsidian wyvern]

[fickle drift]

i sumitted the ticket this morning

[obsidian wyvern]

[steady jolt]

You don't get the levels automatically appllied

[normal owl]

Yeah it wasn't a bad rate to act happy for a few days lol

[fickle drift]

[obsidian wyvern]

[fickle drift]

im on KBM/pc

[normal owl]

The announcement will be the official naming of the next console generation: Xbox Vista. Incredible!

[obsidian wyvern]

ok lol

when you go to the challenge tab from the menu, at the bottom there should be a key that tells you what to press for boosts

press that and there will be another option for levels instead of boosts, you'll have 25 of those

you gotta manually apply it

[fickle drift]

huh?

[obsidian wyvern]

I will riot no matter what the name is

[covert dove]

FYI: If you purchase the Premium Battle Pass Bundle, it'll give you XP Grants that need to be activated manually - which comes out to 25 levels. You can find them under the "Boosts" portion of the Battle Pass menu 👍
