general-chat

[fickle drift]

I just play social games now

[livid oyster]

Come to think of it they might’ve been low plat. Like 1 or 2. I just remember there was one person who wasn’t diamond. But gold doesn’t seem right. My memory is fuzzy on that one

[pastel walrus]

aoki try practicing in training mode against spartan level bots, give yourself infinite health and just build that sticky aim habit

[empty salmon]

True

[amber mirage]

Same. If there was still an FFA community, I'd be playing Ranked as much as I did back in 5

[fickle drift]

Nah I don't need the practice lol

I'm comfortable how I play

I don't feel the want to be hitting clips or sweating ranked anymore

[fickle drift]

Ranked FFA was fun lol

[amber mirage]

It was my home

[fickle drift]

I miss the oerma ranked modes on 5 ngl

Just having 2 per week is kinda boring tbh

Especially if you like neither

[sly summit]

Im washed up too, used to be more sweaty, now i just play Duos or regular game modes

[amber mirage]

Yeah, Shame that the population isn't there to support more ranked playlists.

[fickle drift]

I play for fun now ngl not for clout of high ranks

[amber mirage]

I'd love to just have at least Ranked Arena, Doubles, and FFA to cater to different team sizes/playstyles, but the latter two aren't popular

[livid oyster]

Breakout v1 was awesome. I made it to the very end of the bar on diamond 6 but could never quite get onyx. That was frustrating, I wanted onyx bad

[sly summit]

Ill get to hero rank by 2034 perhaps

[livid oyster]

Then they changed it to v2 and couldn’t play that mode anymore

[obsidian wyvern]

playing rumble pit ffa rn, it's got decently fast queue times

[fickle drift]

That and I despise the small minded "you're a lower rank than me so you're a beta human" people

[obsidian wyvern]

but I only get about half an hour of that before I have to quit anyway

[fickle drift]

It's just sad now

[sly summit]

Im just going for max rank as in player level now

[fickle drift]

Ranked always been toxic but most of it was funny toxic

[sly summit]

Slowly making my way up

[fickle drift]

Not just plain abuse

[amber mirage]

Why I played FFA, no teammates to worry about toxicity

[fickle drift]

Opponents lol...

[sly summit]

I'll only get sweaty if some rat in duos tbags me

[amber mirage]

You can ignore opponents

[fickle drift]

There's always 1 every ranked match whether it's a DM or voice chat it always happens

[thorn wigeon]

PvE teams

[livid oyster]

I enjoy the messages I get from the enemy team when I do well. I always have to check messages after a good match

[fickle drift]

Hell I even get it in social

You literally gain or lose nothing in social and people still hurl abuse

[sly summit]

Some dude got mad because i sniped him 3 times

[obsidian wyvern]

super fiesta gun game is fun till you get this stupid ravager

[fickle drift]

It's just saddening

That and people let their 9yo kids on this stuff as well

I wasn't allowed internet until I was 16 man ;-; and before you say "we can tell" I beat you to it :p

[sly summit]

I got called the N word because i hit a Ninja on some little kid once

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't think anyone could tell

[livid oyster]

The super fiesta mangler and ravager are so bad, compared to the other super weapons they are just useless

[sly summit]

It was a 2v2 CTF match 🫠

[fickle drift]

It's just a remark people say to attempt to garter rage

[obsidian wyvern]

the rebound ravager is worse than the ravager

[livid oyster]

I have to hand it to h5 in terms of the weapon sandbox for fiesta. Fiesta in h5 was just crazy

[fickle drift]

It ruins the kids tbh I mean sure if the kid is even on it their parents must be pretty terrible but like I just I don't get why parents do it you can literally lock down kids accounts decide what they can and can't play how long they can play for etc etc and people don't do it

Ive even had kids on Fortnite on open mic discussing things with their full names like wtf...

[obsidian wyvern]

honestly I don't get any trash talk from opponents at all

[fickle drift]

Who is teaching kids about internet safety what they should and shouldn't be playing

[restive vault]

no 1

[fickle drift]

I wasn't even allowed social media until I was 18 and that's not even a joke

[tight remnant]

Uh

[sly summit]

Same

[thorn wigeon]

Just wasn't social

[tight remnant]

You were on the extreme one one end

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean, I think you just had it a bit harsh aoki

[livid oyster]

Since playing on pc I never checked my Xbox messages. I remember one day I’d open the app. After about 2 years into infinite and I almost had 100 unread messages of complaints/insults

[sly summit]

Well actually i was 16 when i got my first phone from my parents

[livid oyster]

Now I check it everyday

[bronze breach]

Well tbf I didnt have xbox live until Halo 3 came out lol and that's something xD

[hasty zinc]

I was 17 when I got my first flip phone

[round laurel]

Most folk would consider that harsh.

[tight remnant]

Okay grandpa, lets get you to bed

[obsidian wyvern]

I was uhh, 10? maybe 11. whatever year 6 is is when I got my first phone

played halo 3 since I was 3 lol

my baby brother accidentally got a phone AT ONE it's actually insane

[hasty zinc]

this bad boy

🔥

[fickle drift]

At least I'm not spitting slurs 24/7 like half the 12yo's nowadays. Id rather kids have no exposure until they can actually dictate what they should and shouldn't be saying rather than being exposed to it at the age where they mimic others without second thought

[livid oyster]

The future is now old man

[bronze breach]

My first phone was samsung e250 if I can recall

[fickle drift]

I still have about 3 flip phones ngl

[obsidian wyvern]

I went to my neighbours house the other day because they needed help with their ps5

this guy was 8 or smthn swearing constantly in front of his parents. not even I swear in front of mine

[tight remnant]

New blood is great

[hasty zinc]

I want to go back to landlines

[fickle drift]

I guess technically I started internetting when I was like, 7, but our house didn't have internet until I was well into my teens

[sly summit]

I have a smartphone but i still use a flipper sometimes 😭

[obsidian wyvern]

my first smart phone was the windows phone 💪

[hasty zinc]

https://tenor.com/bD4oM.gif

[fickle drift]

Exactly. I don't get how people can allow it I mean swearing isn't too bad as long as it's used in moderation for comedic effect n such

[obsidian wyvern]

I regret buying that thing so much, I bought it because ms = Xbox so it should be good

I couldn't play any mobile games with my friend at that age lol

[amber mirage]

I couldn't play any mobile games with my friends because I didn't have a phone

By choice, though

[normal owl]

Zune > iPod, sorry not sorry.

[fickle drift]

I couldn't play mobile games because I didn't have friends or a phone lmaoo

[obsidian wyvern]

they only got it for me because I passed a decently tough entrance exam into a school

[bronze breach]

I lost my second flip phone at a theme park. Put it in my bag to go on ride.

Never able to find the bag again.

Mistakes were made

[obsidian wyvern]

NOW YOU GOT BOTH WOOO

also unrelated, but did you do that 4 hour walk

[fickle drift]

Dang the bit had a go at me for a deleted message cus I was insulting myself lmaooo

[hard crane]

I was 10 when I got my first phone and it was because my parents forgot me for 7 hours when they had to pick me up

[normal owl]

You got a phone for doing well in school?? I thought I was a high roller getting a Lego set as a kid for winning an educational competition. DANG big money.

[bronze breach]

Conveniently alot of visitors had the same bag as me too. So.. somebody got a free phone lol

[fickle drift]

Someone have a master sheet for banned words? Cus the two I've said so far aren't particularly bad words

[restive vault]

masta sheet

[bronze breach]

Pasta chef?

[fickle drift]

They're literally just the alternative word for cheeks

[obsidian wyvern]

we're not allowed one lol

[normal owl]

facial cheeks?

[fickle drift]

And the other was the same word with dumb slapped in front of it

[obsidian wyvern]

it was honestly combined with a bit of luck

[livid oyster]

I got my first phone when I was a freshman in high school, but never really got addicted to it till after I was done school

[fickle drift]

Glutes

[hard crane]

As I've learned myself through the fire dip, nope lol.
You're gonna find out in the hard way.

[tight remnant]

You don't have to try and repeat it in different words, just dont

[fickle drift]

I wanna get embed perms tho can't do that if the bit is yeeting my stuff ;-;

[bronze breach]

This is a family friendly server anyway

[hard crane]

Oh, that?

Yeah we're never ever getting that

[tight remnant]

Also, there is a great irony in what you were saying about not allowing kids because cussing and slurs and... you hitting the word filter.

[normal owl]

In seriousness, even objectively innocuous synonyms for some words are on the banned words list, so if you get a warning, just avoid the concept entirely.

[fickle drift]

I'm an adult and they weren't even horrid words they're used in plenty a media nowadays

[livid oyster]

Sentence enhancers

[round laurel]

Warnings don't reset your progress, but leaving the server will.

[hard crane]

Remember when phones had to be opened and closed? Physically?

[fickle drift]

Innocuous? I forgor what that means

[tight remnant]

Flip phones they were talking about it

[normal owl]

Slider phones were the form factor that I thought would be the coolest but were the least convenient.

[hard crane]

Ohhh must've missed that.

[fickle drift]

We went over flip phones already lol.

[bronze breach]

I dont think leaving the server actually resets the progress. There is a precedent of 3 people lol

[livid oyster]

Yo sliding phones was where it was at. I hated touch screen when I switched phones

[hard crane]

Had that one as well
And one with the bottom part switching sides (front had a keyboard, back had an MP3 like controls and spinning to it automatically opened the songs gallery)

[fickle drift]

Welp imma go get some sleep my back feet and butt hurt from doing a bunch of stuff today so I'm shattered and in pain lol so I'm gonna hit the sack early

[bronze breach]

I'm may be wrong though it's an assumption.

[fickle drift]

Have a good night

[hard crane]

good night

[fickle drift]

[normal owl]

That sounds amazing: the Swiss Army Knife Phone.

[normal owl]

Same. It was very frustrating the first 24 hrs. Hated it.

[tight remnant]

Have you ever attempted to scroll on paper?

It makes you feel dumb

[normal owl]

haha no, but I have tapped plenty of non-touch screens.

[bronze breach]

The days of highschoolers using BlackBerry and BBMs

[livid oyster]

Lol, that first 24 hours, I hear ya. I couldn’t believe that touch screen was so hyped up. I was like these people are crazy

[normal owl]

For real. I was so fluent in the menu path logic of non-touchscreen phones that it was hard to navigate anywhere on the smartphone.

[bronze breach]

Chat gpt powered phones is the future

[tight remnant]

oh no

[livid oyster]

Same. And I couldn’t text to save my life. Took me like 5 minutes to complete a sentence

[normal owl]

well, Gemini is on smartphones now

[livid oyster]

Just nonstop mistyping

[normal owl]

that James Bond pocket texting suddenly got neutralized.

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

mb ping

[hard crane]

I also had a (prepare to feel old) Sony Ericsson satio.

[livid oyster]

Lol

[bronze breach]

I think I need a new phone. Still rocking the Samsung s10 since release

[hard crane]

With the hidden camera in the back that had a slider door thingy!

[normal owl]

That looks badass!

[hard crane]

And 15ish years ago that thing was the best camera in a mobile phone you could have had

[normal owl]

It is still wild to me that we have what would have been considered professional grade digital cameras a decade ago on our phones today.

[hasty zinc]

the blackberry storm was great, full touchscreen with clicky haptic feedback

[hard crane]

Pretty sure that was the last "dumb" device I used before switching to smartphones (and by that I mean getting my mom's already 2 years used super old, touch screen brick)

[hard crane]

My dad had a blackberry, that thing screamed "businessman stuff"

[hasty zinc]

YES

[obsidian wyvern]

yo what??????
https://vxtwitter.com/Busy_Br33/status/1760035466710016365?t=2Yi4BYN9ZU8SKghP7t4_1g&s=19

[hasty zinc]

still have my Halo 3 zune that works

[normal owl]

gasp! You have to post a picture.

[thorn wigeon]

Is there halo trivia still here?

[obsidian wyvern]

dbot is gone

[earnest hawk]

Has anyone brought and read the books?

[obsidian wyvern]

3 of them yes

[hasty zinc]

😬

[hard crane]

Excuse me, your what

[hasty zinc]

Halo 3 ZUNE

[obsidian wyvern]

first half yes
second half hmm

[thorn wigeon]

2

[hard crane]

Wdym Halo 3 Zune

[earnest hawk]

Just wondering if there worth getting into

[hard crane]

HOLY GUAQ

I just googled that
It's beautiful

[normal owl]

Yeah I cannot wait to see this beauty.

[hasty zinc]

sure is

[obsidian wyvern]

notice how he has a halo 3 zune and not a halo 4 one

says a lot about his favourite game 😤

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah there are some pretty good ones

everyone seems to love ghosts of onyx which I've yet to read

[fickle drift]

Didn't one of the Forza games have Zune integration
Or was that something else

[normal owl]

thirty gigabytes. I mean, you could live forever and never fill that space.

[candid solar]

Ghosts is one of maybe three books, at most, most Halo fans have at least read part of.

[earnest hawk]

Ah okay thank you might have a look

[candid solar]

Of course, most will also argue like they've read all the books, which is annoying.

[fickle drift]

nvm, it was Groove music I was thinking of

[amber mirage]

I miss Groove

[obsidian wyvern]

every time I use media player, it comes up as groove music on my game bar status

[hard crane]

Btw Aegis, you're the first person I've said to proudly admit they own a Zune

[lilac rose]

Were it so easy

[amber mirage]

Still have yet to find a music streaming service that lets me shuffle between local and streamed music at the same time

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't Spotify let you do that now

[normal owl]

Spotify has always done that for me.

[obsidian wyvern]

or does it keep downloads as a separate playlist

[amber mirage]

Not that I can see on desktop

[obsidian wyvern]

it's on the app iirc

which I don't like using because I can't skip ads lol

[normal owl]

I wonder if it's some setting I set long ago, I'll have to check.

[obsidian wyvern]

@hasty zinc you use it don't you

[normal owl]

Maybe it's some dedicated folder that the music file has to be in?

[normal owl]

That's how I enjoy whenever my Haley vs Deadmau5 mashup Falling in Love with Brazil comes up in queue.

[hard crane]

[hasty zinc]

use what

the zune?

[normal owl]

It's so beautiful!

[hard crane]

Wait
Clean the dust asap😂

[obsidian wyvern]

downloaded music on spotify

[hasty zinc]

nah

I need to find the power cable for this

[hasty zinc]

oh you mean local stuff

adding to spotify library?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah

[hasty zinc]

oh I thought you meant like downloading regular songs for offline play

[obsidian wyvern]

I thought that sentence would be confusing

[hard crane]

Afaik you can also download songs you add to your Spotify playlists so they would work on offline mode

[obsidian wyvern]

nah that's different

[normal owl]

I always took it for granted that I had it. It's like a locker combination back in school: when I think about I actually forget how.

[obsidian wyvern]

all my locks had 117 as the password lol

[hard crane]

Smort

[amber mirage]

I've looked again and I can't even find the option to play local files on Spotify's desktop app anymore

[obsidian wyvern]

lmao rip

[normal owl]

117 is Chief, not Locke smh. Thought you were a true fan.

[hard crane]

I used to have a 3 digits lock as my key-holder for few months, should've used that

[obsidian wyvern]

I just used aegis' method but instead of using Spotify I use media player

[obsidian wyvern]

😩 this would've been smart if I ever forgot

[amber mirage]

I use media player but it's the inconvenient method I have to settle for

[obsidian wyvern]

only downside is that YouTube's audio quality is not as good as Spotify, which isn't as good as apple music

[normal owl]

I'll have to look when I get home. This is bothering me now that you're being gated out of integrating local files into your playlist lol

[amber mirage]

If you find it, I'd appreciate it

[obsidian wyvern]

and I literally have to file transfer to my phone LOL

I never actually listened to music properly whilst Google music was a thing, but apparently it was good with local files

[amber mirage]

I got all this owned music I have to pick between listening to, or lsitening to stuff I don't own.

It was, but mobile only

[round laurel]

You gotta add them to a playlist.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh I thought it'd like transfer over to an app on pc

[hasty zinc]

oh to play

uhh

[round laurel]

Spotify doesn't make it easy for sure. Adding covers is an even bigger nightmare.

[obsidian wyvern]

do you have to add a cover

[round laurel]

No, but I like to.

[obsidian wyvern]

fair

[amber mirage]

This is something I want to avoid. I just want to shuffle all. Adding everything to a playlist manually is going to be a nightmare

[hard crane]

It's appealing for the eyes, I can understand

[normal owl]

keep your eyes appealed

[hasty zinc]

after you add the source it's in local files under your library on the left

[amber mirage]

Yeah. I got that set up again. I forgot that wasn't something enabled by default. Did it last on my old PC.

[normal owl]

...is what I would say if Aegis didn't already solve this. Nice!

[amber mirage]

Still brings me back to the problem of I have to pick between local or liked, and can't have both simultaneously.

[hasty zinc]

oh I see

[obsidian wyvern]

cant you play one playlist and add the other into the queue so it'll just play after your current playlist is finished

so it kinda shuffles it, but it does one set first and then the other

[round laurel]

I just added a local song to my liked playlist. So it seems you can.

[hard crane]

Spotify shuffle is weird man.

[obsidian wyvern]

Spotify on mobile without premium is tragic

[amber mirage]

I get that, but I'm not adding all this to a playlist

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

[normal owl]

I don't think I've ever had an aggregate 3,073 songs downloaded across all my devices in my entire life, holy cow!

[obsidian wyvern]

if only I could find that much music I liked lol

[fickle drift]

More composers? 👀

[normal owl]

that is like the Scrooge McDuck Diving Into His Vault Money quantity of songs

[obsidian wyvern]

my taste is annoyingly particular

and I think having context behind a track is subconsciously pretty important to me

[obsidian wyvern]

like sawano? yes

I am so happy you recommended more from him

[fickle drift]

np, found more I liked from him in the process lol

[obsidian wyvern]

lmao

[amber mirage]

My Liked Songs on Spotify is about double in size

[normal owl]

should be named Rok & Roll!

[round laurel]

Right... but if I wanted to do what you want, I'd go to my liked songs, ctrl + A + rmb then add to a new playist. Go to your local files and do the same. If I'm reading you right then that allows you shuffle both liked and local.

[obsidian wyvern]

weirdly I'm still finding aot osts, just found the one that played during Erwin's speech yesterday

[hard crane]

Couldn't imagine doing that after 4 years of paying them blindly

[obsidian wyvern]

the one other 'problem' with Spotify is like fan made mixes/songs that you just won't find on there

[round laurel]

Youtube music to the rescue lol

[normal owl]

Same. I used to have Spotify free on low volume playing "lobby music" for clients. One day, a Trojan commercial came on when clients came in. Paid for Spotify right after that and have never looked back.

[fickle drift]

That and licenses, lot of stuff I like cough Promare cough just aren't on there.

[hard crane]

A trojan commercial 😂

[obsidian wyvern]

ripp

[normal owl]

yeah dude it was mortifying

[hard crane]

I can only imagine

[obsidian wyvern]

I should start this anime soon

[amber mirage]

I guess this does accomplish this. I'd need to manually add every song I ever like to the playlist, which is a whole other problem in maintainenance.

[normal owl]

best sales pitch Spotify could have ever given me to buy premium.

[obsidian wyvern]

I should finish Eva but I'm at a point where I'm not in the mood to watch anything despite really wanting to

[hard crane]

Less pitch, more of a threat

[normal owl]

HAHA true

[amber mirage]

Only a movie, so it'll be quick

[obsidian wyvern]

promare is a movie?

[amber mirage]

Yes

[fickle drift]

Oui

[obsidian wyvern]

that might've sold me

[fickle drift]

It's a banger too, but aye pace yourself, don't wanna get burned out lol

[hard crane]

"listen here you little dongo, you better pay up reeeeeal soon or we're gonna make your clients think you're as poor as a market farmer on his last chicken"

[round laurel]

Yeah I didn't think of that. I'm already used to doing that, as I split my songs up into three main playlists. The additional button press/clicks would get tiring for sure. But one thing I do is like songs and then add them to the appropriate playlists later on, like in bulk.

[obsidian wyvern]

I usually watch A LOT for a good while, like a month and then take a break for a good few weeks where I dont see anything

[normal owl]

yeah it really shredded the theatre of professionalism I had to construct for them lol

[obsidian wyvern]

I think finishing AOT in 3 weeks was unhealthy though

[amber mirage]

So much work to achieve halfway decent user experience

[hard crane]

There should be a subreddit of people telling how Spotify took them down and made them swallow the bait, your story could be a highlight

[amber mirage]

Goes back to why Groove was good. Did all the work for me.

[obsidian wyvern]

I missed the era of good music apps huh

[amber mirage]

Spotify's probably better than it's ever been

It's just missing a lot of QoL stuff that apps that also doubled as storefronts did better

[hasty zinc]

I miss groove

[steady jolt]

big same

[hasty zinc]

maybe put all the local songs you want into a separate folder on your PC and then just add that folder instead of your entire local library

maybe I'm not reading this chat right

half paying attention lol

[amber mirage]

That wouldn't really be the problem. I've got no concerns about which songs I want to go in, it'll just be a hassle having to remember to add every song to the playlist whenever I hear or get new stuff

[hasty zinc]

true

I'm about to pass out

[amber mirage]

Do it

[hasty zinc]

running on less than 2 hours of sleep

[amber mirage]

Enjoy being unconscious

[restive vault]

post augmentation roleplay starts now!

[molten pelican]

turn your car on and pass out in there, then you can enjoy the new car smell 👍

[hexed geyser]

i wish i could get CE og on the 360

like 343 Could've Kept CE on the Store due to it having no XBL

[fickle drift]

Could always go the physical route, I'm sure a 360 can run the original disc

[hexed geyser]

yeah but it would be for Bro

cuz i have the MCC on PC

& Bro Has A Potaato PC so he cant play the MCC

[elfin glacier]

i miss Zune

if i win the powerball I'm gonna.... pay someone to slap a zune ui onto android or somesuch

[obsidian wyvern]

ngl they actually did good with this set of merch

but there's so much more they could do

[elfin glacier]

first one is ok second one is lit

[obsidian wyvern]

but I know my parents would flip if I spent £37 on just that lol

I like the minimalism really

[cosmic urchin]

Sweet clothing

[lunar charm]

they really need to step up the halo merch

make some high quality figures and some more non clothes merch

[cosmic urchin]

Wtf

[elfin glacier]

Yea it's not bad. I just think it's a bit too minimal

[lunar charm]

?

[elfin glacier]

they did tho

[lunar charm]

the merch they have now is alright

this halo yknow make it great not just good

[cosmic urchin]

Ah 👌okay

[obsidian wyvern]

the halo 3 merch they put out last year was not good

[elfin glacier]

There's the master chief nendo

[cosmic urchin]

Duh

[normal owl]

the Zune was incredible though

[lunar charm]

im mainly reffering to infinte/current merch

[elfin glacier]

still gotta unpack the thing

[obsidian wyvern]

I kneww someone would say it

didn't edit in time

[elfin glacier]

do you want good merch or not smh

[lunar charm]

well you can release good merch at a reasonable price

[elfin glacier]

Nendos are expensive for a reason

[lunar charm]

its not complicated. They have the resources to do so

[elfin glacier]

same with that fancy chair

[lunar charm]

not talking about the nendos specifically

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf the clothes are generally pretty overpriced

idk what the jacket quality is but 80 seems fair

[lunar charm]

80 for a jacket tho

[obsidian wyvern]

80 for a jacket makes sense tbh

[elfin glacier]

stuff I've gotten from the gear shop has been good

[lunar charm]

I can find one of similar quality for like 30 bucks at walmart

[amber mirage]

That's how merch tends to be priced

You pay for the fact that it's associated with stuff you like

[elfin glacier]

i mean you can probably get it customized then

like I'm sure it's fine to do it for personal/noncommercial use

[lunar charm]

im not saying I want it to be 15 cents but 80 dollars for whats essentially a walmart jacket that has some references to halo on it is a lot

[obsidian wyvern]

I gotta say idk why this is under the TV series merch specifically lol

[elfin glacier]

you seem pretty sure it's a low quality item

[lunar charm]

I wish they made a halo anime nngl

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not like the keystone which is specific to that

[fickle drift]

...Halo Legends

[amber mirage]

Wait till you see the prices of merch at stuff like concerts or other events

[lunar charm]

one about zeta halo would be so sick

[obsidian wyvern]

actually I should finally get around to finishing halo legends properly

[elfin glacier]

Frank O'Connor made it happen

[lunar charm]

im sure its overpriced too but thats not an excuse for them to make their stuff so expensive

i mean one that is a singular story not an anthology series

[elfin glacier]

I miss frankie

[lunar charm]

this sounds mean but honestly glad there's new management now

[obsidian wyvern]

I'm sure Hailey does too

[elfin glacier]

vile

[lunar charm]

they really gotta refresh the whole company cuz as much as I love infinite it was a disaster

[elfin glacier]

you don't even know who did what lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

actually took me a few seconds to remember her name

[lunar charm]

well considering he was one of the ppl in charge of 5 and part of infinite we can see what their leadership brought to the game

[elfin glacier]

....big sales?

[lunar charm]

Im not one of the agressive ppl who want them dead but it would be foolish to say that halo under his and the others leadership was good

wellbig sales only help up to a point

[obsidian wyvern]

[steady jolt]

🤨

[obsidian wyvern]

why is it sticking
this is annoying me

[lunar charm]

reputation is important too. While I really enjoy 4 and 5 even I admit those games had some massive issues that did ruin part of halo's reputation to non halo fans

[smoky token]

only half of this statement is true

[lunar charm]

Adeptus mechanicus faction in warhammer. Not a warhammer fan but I love robots and cyborgs and stuff

[elfin glacier]

so i’ve never been clear on this

[lunar charm]

I'd join adeptus mechanicus right away]

[smoky token]

the machine spirit is vague and not really known, but the omnissiah is the emperor, right?

[obsidian wyvern]

it never worked

[elfin glacier]

what

[lunar charm]

no idea but as far as im aware its just a god they love a lot

[elfin glacier]

static cling

[lunar charm]

I know nothing about warhammer lore

[fickle drift]

Rev is imune to static, confirmed.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it just never stuck lol

not even for a second

[lunar charm]

I wish they made a human forerunner war game ngl

[elfin glacier]

wtf

[lunar charm]

the ancient humans and forerunners give me old republic vibes

[elfin glacier]

Rev is an scp

[sleek wigeon]

I have seen bald guys make that work

I guess it means he's just not clingy

not really shocking I guess

[wet apex]

guys does someone want to create a team? maybe we can play tomorrow

if interested write me in private

[crimson tapir]

Anyone know if there is going to be any twitch drops today?

[candid solar]

... Lmao. Someone pointed something funny out to me.

There's 32 supersoldiers just snoozing about while Six and Emile were busting their rears trying to fight to survive to get the Autumn.

[normal owl]

We're getting something that makes Helldivers a distant memory: Bluey

[candid solar]

It would've been pitched back when the first Helldivers came out most likely.

Hell, the concept was pitched constantly by the fanbase before then.

Because that came out before Halo 5 did.

[sleek wigeon]

almost like it was a good idea or something

[candid solar]

Nah.

[molten pelican]

I hope they dont make bluey too gory of a game

[normal owl]

Then they'd be betraying the spirit of its lore. No true fan would want that.

[molten pelican]

true, we cant water it down to a T rating

[sleek wigeon]

lemme guess. pal world also is a bad idea?

[candid solar]

... Please tell me you weren't dense enough to think this wasn't sarcasm.

[normal owl]

Exactly, we can't let corpo greed hijack Bluey and turn it into some project that they're trying to make money off of.

[candid solar]

Honestly, I hate Palworld more for being another dime-a-dozen Arkclone, for all the same reasons I hate Ark.

[molten pelican]

what ive been saying all along, the game must be marketed and catered towards the true fans of the series

[candid solar]

Good idea for someone. That someone ain't me.

[normal owl]

the True Bluey fans

[molten pelican]

im especially excited to see the gunplay demo

[candid solar]

I hope they don't add sprint. Bluey fans have been trying to get that out for a decade.

[normal owl]

Yeah I'm hoping they really focus on that instead of on cosmetics that distract from the core gunplay.

[normal owl]

Yeah we must resist the trend chasing.

[molten pelican]

at least its first person, the immersion just wouldnt be there if it was 3rd

[normal owl]

Well Bluey was like 99% inspired by Doomguy right

[molten pelican]

no💀

they took inspiration from tekken

[polar wyvern]

who would win noble 6 + arbiter +master chief vs didact

[molten pelican]

halo 4

[normal owl]

Bluey would win.

[polar wyvern]

lets remove chief oplot armor cuz thats too unfair

[molten pelican]

its like comparing aegis to rev smh

[lilac rose]

Anyone want a tip?

[molten pelican]

yes!

[lilac rose]

Don't go watch madame webb

wasn't there a game kinda like this

wiht the civil war

[muted coyote]

BRO SBMM gotta go just played the sweatest game of btb

[hasty zinc]

darkest of days

[muted coyote]

it was like playing for the world btb championship

[quaint canyon]

floodphobia is a real thing

[twilit vector]

Ever single one of my friends can play helldiver's

And what do i got
Halo infinite, destiny 2, warframe

[round laurel]

Your friends are lucky.

There are many of us that can't even get past the login screen lol.

And when we do, it's a coinflip on whether the match will crash or not.

[lilac rose]

Remember playing the first flood level and being super scared

[bronze basalt]

BROOOO

reading this chat makes me so sad bro why can’t halo be saved

[round laurel]

Wha... ?

[bronze basalt]

Halo is just not the same anymore is it, formal said on his stream hcs will probably be done after this year

[obsidian wyvern]

can't everyone see that

unless this game gets a huge sandbox update which works on the comp side too, there's no way it gets a year 4

[bronze basalt]

Yeah exactly bro

Apparently a new halo is brewing tho but

Long way away

[lilac rose]

MCC will live on forever anyway

[obsidian wyvern]

I wouldn't expect anything for like at least another 6 or 7 years

in terms of a new halo*

[civic cove]

Isn’t there a new one coming at 2030

[obsidian wyvern]

nothing confirmed

[lilac rose]

What even happened to halo infinite dlc and being updated regularly

[hasty zinc]

no DLC was ever announced

[bronze basalt]

If the game was released in the state it’s in now

10x better wouldn’t of died on launch

[round laurel]

I don't think any campaign DLC was in development or announced. Infinite still receives regular updates. The last one only dropped a few weeks ago.

[steady jolt]

There's still a lot of updates coming this year

[candid solar]

The Civil War was just the demo.

[bronze basalt]

Sorry mr stckr just a hcs fan worried about the esport

[candid solar]

It'd be nice if we could get an actual roadmap for it, but AFAIR there hasn't been one.

[lilac rose]

Hope they pull out the next gen halo wars 3 bomb

[bronze basalt]

Imagine

[obsidian wyvern]

give me a Titanfall 3 in the meantime

[hasty zinc]

or a new Crimson Skies

[candid solar]

New Bloodwake

[hasty zinc]

new Brute Force

[fresh urchin]

Do you know why they decided on switching to operations?

[candid solar]

New Advent Rising!?

[fickle drift]

Maybe release that new Perfect Dark while they're at it.

[desert basin]

Wheres rhat Helldivers 2 ODST game, 343i

[hasty zinc]

omg

[candid solar]

Very original comment

[hasty zinc]

[steady jolt]

I'm sure they mentioned it either in one of the Waypoint blogs or on the live stream last month

[elfin glacier]

what's going on

[obsidian wyvern]

shadows

is what I noticed anyway

incorrect silver team logo

[elfin glacier]

oh ok

[crystal idol]

h

[pastel walrus]

ask microsoft execs why it ain't here, 343i got nothing to do with it

they pitched ideas and got rejected for it, that isn't their fault

[desert basin]

When they say all out battlefield games won't work--

[pastel walrus]

well that's odd because as far as I've seen, that exact concept was pitched

[obsidian wyvern]

we're just blaming people not knowing the whole story

[icy spire]

anyone want to be friends

[steady jolt]

Time to post this again?
https://twitter.com/kevindschmitt/status/1759373738594947465

Kevin Schmitt (@kevindschmitt) on X

Been in gamedev for almost 30 years. Probably pitched well over a hundred games. There are thousands of reasons they don’t get made. It’s rarely corpo greed or some other nefarious reason. I find it’s a lot about timing.

Twitter · Feb 19, 2024, 12:26 AM

[deft peak]

I agree with that post, greed is only for the ones who don't understand the nuisance of gaming and its artistic value. The devs and the company as a majority obviously wants to make a lot of their ideas, it's unfair to assume otherwise

Though at times it does feel like money is becoming too much of a driving force for creative minds, I don't think it's all lost to that ideal

[lavish vortex]

Been playing MCC collection and really surprised nobody has taken the bridge mission from ODST and turned it into a firefight map. You know the one you hold the bridge before oni site is blown as it has sniper towers, gauss turrets and so on

[deft peak]

That'd be sick!

[lavish vortex]

https://youtu.be/_MIjvqstRTg?si=QMkuUty9Seb5E1sj This mission if people are unsure

[polar chasm]

Why is there Custom Equipment in Fragwment Firefight?

[mighty rapids]

excuse me where tf did the lone wolves playlist go in Infinite?

[polar chasm]

Also, I think it summoned marines

[lavish vortex]

Because normal stuff gets boring

Ideal perfect firefight for me would be all weapons vehicles and enemies in halo 4 engine since it's the most modern in mcc

[obsidian wyvern]

it did

[stable cradle]

Who wanna do some btb

[rain comet]

Anyone knows how many people can play HW2 co op campaign?

[round laurel]

Rotated out and replaced with Rumble Pit.

[desert basin]

Eyo they actually added a few new things to firefight

Individual kill score, challenges now work on firefight, crazy

[forest relic]

me realizing i can play halo on my macbook and phone using xbox cloud gaming whenever i want

[crimson oar]

anyone want to team up? firefight btb just need 2 (20+)

I use an iPad to play halo mc and infinite with my Xbox controller

Two words Inferno plus

[twilit terrace]

@stable cradle Yo Wsg

[analog knot]

Love to see Halo continue to have cheaters run rampant. Actual fun community events ruined and we all wonder why people stop playing. 🙁

[rapid pivot]

Thanks. So is it just as simple as you get an app and log in to Xbox account?

Gotta pay for it or it’s free?

[fickle drift]

It's the Xbox Game Pass app, it's free to download, but you have to have Game Pass. It's just like connecting your controller to Xbox, but when you push the connect button on the controller you just open your Bluetooth and find your controller.

[rapid pivot]

Thanks for the info

Don’t have game pass but would consider getting it for this.

Have limited access to my console atm.

[fickle drift]

It's nice whenever you're away from your console, just need good data on your phone, or just internet connection.

But no problem problem dude.

[cloud salmon]

Hello

[halcyon vale]

anyone know if 2xp still applies to the match if it runs out mid match
whenever it happens the timer is negative after the match but i cant tell if it still gives 2xp or not

[rapid pivot]

I really really want to love Halo 4 and 5. It actually bothers me (I have pretty big OCD which I normally wouldn’t mention, because I think people go out of their way to advertise that kind of thing when it’s not relevant 99.99% of the time) that I don’t love them.

It really baffles me some of the decisions they made. I still like them. But I don’t love them. And I want to. But I can’t

I think I dislike 4’s campaign more than 5. Which is not a common opinion from what I understand.

[candid solar]

It's certainly rare. Lately, it's about where my mind turned more directly-but that's mostly because I feel people focus way too hard on some of the parts that are actually the worst qualities of 4.

Cortana plot? Good, well thought out enough to work as a dramatic plotline. The Forerunner part, on the other hand, is incredibly creepy the more you think about it; And poorly structured past that.

[rapid pivot]

I do appreciate that 4 ran so well. Because I remember Reach having really bad frame rate problems back in the day

Reach was gorgeous, but didn’t run well (at least for me). 4 was ugly but it ran smooth.

[rapid pivot]

I know a lot of people like the Cortana plot but I actively dislike it.

Too much melodrama for me.

There’s something extremely ugly to my eyes about 4. Forerunner architecture is no longer ancient and mysterious, but looks like Tron. Covenant designs are all awful except hunters. But it goes beyond that. Even environments that should look beautiful, just don’t (to me).

I’m not good at articulating why. I think it has something to do with the colors. Saturation. Filters. Idk. It doesn’t look right to me.

[candid solar]

Eh. I like the environments, but the lights and colors I get.

[rapid pivot]

There were a lot of particularly ugly games released around that time. I think it fell into the same visual trend a lot of other games were going for.

A lot of the environments are beautiful, but the coloring is off. Lots of murkiness and greys.

[muted rose]

The only real redesigns I like are some forerunner stuff being orange compared to the usual blue, the warthog, the halo 5 magnum, some of the frigate designs, some marine designs, prowlers, and of course, the shotgun

I really like me the 4/5 shotgun

[rapid pivot]

The marines in Halo 4 look silly to me

[muted rose]

The white and red ones are silly

The camo ones are 👍

[rapid pivot]

Look like baseball umpires

[muted rose]

The only real redesign I dislike is the sangheili

They try to fill the role of brutes and elites and fail miserably

Their AI is clunky at best, and their gear is like an eggshell

[rapid pivot]

It feels like they went out of their way to make them ugly in Halo 4

[muted rose]

They look far scarier then the OT, I’ll give them that

[rapid pivot]

Halo 5 was a little better.

I wish the SOS kept the designs from the Halo 2A intro cutscene

Halo Infinite elites are incredible though

[muted rose]

My biggest complaint is Arby’s sudden plastic surgery

But, that seems to have been resolved so

A past complaint now

[muted rose]

True! Chak lok is the perfect elite

[rapid pivot]

Halo 2, Halo 2A, Halo Reach and Halo Infinite = best elites.

CE and 3 are good too.

[muted rose]

Halo CE’s are goofy

Good ai

[rapid pivot]

Yeah, but charming

Halo was always kinda a goofy game anyways. Until it became a melodramatic space opera in Halo 4.

[muted rose]

Eeeeh

Reach did it first

Dawk and gwidee

[rapid pivot]

Reach was a more serious tone yes (one of my criticisms of it). But I wouldn’t call it melodramatic. And it still had some silly stuff.

I really miss the silliness of CE-ODST when the games didn’t take themselves too seriously. The marine dialogue was hilarious. You’d randomly find a jpeg of a shirtless man in a cutscene.

[candid solar]

Amusingly, they're actually the best protected Marines in the series.

[rapid pivot]

I wish Sgt Stacker came back in Infinite. His voice actor is Keyes right? So they had the VA.

[candid solar]

They've got hard plates on the forearms and lower legs, additional leg plates in the heavier setups, chestplates and backplates in the heavier setups, regularly have full head helmets, shoulderpads, and most importantly, they wore groin armor.

[rapid pivot]

He’s in 4 iirc right? Very briefly

Toward the end of the Reclaimer mission

[candid solar]

And only like, two? Halo marine designs have ever actually wore fully protective groin armor.

[candid solar]

Yep

[rapid pivot]

I remember the beginning of Shutdown - turning it into a makeshift firefight map against those guys

[candid solar]

Not counting HW2 btw

Because HW2's Marines are actually based off of 4/5 Marines but with some exaggerated plating

[rapid pivot]

Did Halo 5 have marines?

[candid solar]

Yep, in cutscenes and Warzone.

They use what I tend to think is the worst Marine design in 4, unfortunately.

[rapid pivot]

Oh right Warzone. I barely played that.

[candid solar]

What's annoying is, the fact nobody looks at any marine variant from 4/5 other than this specific version likely did more damage than it had any right to.

Because this isn't even a common armor configuration in 4, but it's the only configuration in 5.

[rapid pivot]

Halo 2 marines are my fav

Could you kill your human ally’s in Halo 5? I seem to remember you could kill the elite ally’s but not the human ally’s.

I can’t remember if you could splatter them like in Infinite where it’s the only way to kill them

[candid solar]

I do not habitually go out and teamkill friendlies in games, so I don't know.

[rapid pivot]

Those human ally’s were ugly too in Halo 5. The meridian people.

[candid solar]

Looking at their models a lot more lately, I actually really like their kit.

[rapid pivot]

I usually try to save them all.

[candid solar]

It's corpo-merc plating with a hazmat kicker. Actually pretty cool, IMO.

[rapid pivot]

But I also like to know the mechanics of the game and the differences in what the games let you do

[candid solar]

Apparently their armor incorporates a similar gel layer to that Spartans use, according to 5's audio logs.

[rapid pivot]

And I admit I do kill my guys on Shutdown because it’s fun to see how long you can survive

And they don’t help with the mission in any way

[hard cipher]

Would anyone be willing to help me get my local split screen co-op for the infinite campaign working? I just need a lobby to join

[rapid pivot]

I would but I’m not with my Xbox

[candid solar]

NGL, looking back at 4/5 Halo art just makes me feel kinda sad.

[hard cipher]

Appreciate the honesty

[candid solar]

Because you had some really talented and driven people working on those games.

And some cut levels really hurt. Like the Infinity hub.

[rare cedar]

I have the book “The Art of Halo 5” and there are some really good pieces in there

I watched episodes 1 and 2 but want to invite some friends over to start from episode 1, but they can't come until either next Tuesday for episode 4, or next Thursday for episode 5

And even then waiting for episode 5 amounts to almost four hours of video

Either way I won't watch the show until my friends come over. What I do for some people smh

This is why you’re my friend

So humble

[junior osprey]

Is there a place I can share ideas on like things they should add into halo infinite?

[pulsar bluff]

Kind of a shot in the dark - but does anyone here have a good orthographic projection/ drawing of the Mark V [B]? I'm working on some concept art

[junior osprey]

I ain’t go nothing just ideas i wanna share to see if they’ll be either added in future updates of halo infinite.

[rare cedar]

You can add your ideas to the already created (bland heavily commented on) thread, or you can create your own thread in #1039633978841374720

Thank you so much!

[craggy knoll]

Halo 4 is the best halo

[chilly plinth]

That is.... certainly A take...

Don't know if it's a good one...

XD

[craggy knoll]

It is

[chilly plinth]

Hey, to each their own, I guess.

[junior osprey]

Spartans IV’s ruined ODST’s

[craggy knoll]

They have better missions than every other halo but odst is also good

[chilly plinth]

Tbf I loved Spartan Ops... Shame we never got a Season 2...

[craggy knoll]

ODST is also good

I prefer the halo's with masterchief

[wind bear]

first multi player game I ever played on mcc and got an achievement for killing a dev

literally never played before, first match I ever did

kinda cool

[craggy knoll]

mcc?

[wind bear]

master chief collection

[craggy knoll]

oh i also like minecraft so i thought you meant Minecraft Championships

[wind bear]

lmao

[cloud salmon]

damn bro

[craggy knoll]

it is true

[cloud salmon]

nothing wrong with that tho

[wind bear]

i think ce is my favorite so far story wise

[cloud salmon]

Well everyone has their own fav but may i ask why halo 4?

[craggy knoll]

I like the ones with MasterChief and 4 has the best missions

[junior osprey]

I like McDonald’s fries just thought people should know that.

[cloud salmon]

Me too

[craggy knoll]

Same

[rare cedar]

They’re better in Japan

[cloud salmon]

the ma5 evovled is one of the best weapon models in infinite

[craggy knoll]

Ive never played infinite

Unpopular opinion but my favourite weapon is the spartan laser because im really good with it, i can kill someone while they are evading

[tight forge]

is the aim sensitivity slower in infinite than mcc or am i crazy

[cloud salmon]

u should, the multiplayer is free and its amazinnng

[craggy knoll]

Ive heard it is but I have no space

[cloud salmon]

oh true

[rare cedar]

Yes, it’s slower

[tight forge]

ahh thought it was off

what would 7 sensitivity on mcc be on infinite?

[rare cedar]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Probably max

[tight forge]

alr

[pliant musk]

anyone know about Ruwan Ackerson

[steady jolt]

If it's related to the Halo TV show, probably a better discussion for #halo-the-series-spoiler-chat

no, sadly it's not

I’m a NCO, I work for a living

[pliant musk]

halo wars 1 and 2, Halo reach

[cloud salmon]

Nice, good choices

[pliant musk]

[rare cedar]

It’s a military thing to say back if someone mistakes a NCO for an officer, sorry. Didn’t wanna come across rude.

[pliant musk]

it's fine

[rare cedar]

[pliant musk]

[fickle drift]

[rare cedar]

[cerulean kettle]

Reach was better

[cloud salmon]

🥲

halo odst 2 would go crazy if it happened

buck reuniting alpha nine just like bad blood

[cerulean kettle]

cos reach got glassed cuh

cant make a game on a planet that’s uninhabitable

[rare cedar]

Your pfp shows it habitable

Years later

Wdym cuh

[cerulean kettle]

like 40 years later😭😭😭

[rare cedar]

There ya go 😉

Make a Halo reach 2

[cerulean kettle]

thats too far ahead to make a game on we need to find out what happens during the 40 years first

but 343 is smelly and it’ll never happen 😔

[hollow tundra]

Nah heck with that give me a Johnson story of one where u play as red team back on reach that would be super dope

[limber tulip]

I would appreciate a Halo fps game with Jerome as the main protagonist instead of Master Chief.

[cloud salmon]

is it just me or would a game set during the forerunner flood war go hard

[cloud salmon]

hopefully in halo endless they both appear along with teh arbiter

[lunar creek]

It would be cool

[tight remnant]

The banished attack reach after it was glassed

[tight remnant]

I rather play as linda

[cloud salmon]

🤔

[fickle drift]

[rare cedar]

I just watched a bit of your latest stream and you’re pretty decent

[small turtle]

My Xbox One is not letting me download Halo Reach Campaign/Firefight on MCC.
For one, yes, I do have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and I have the Halo Reach Campaign/Firefight installed on my Xbox Series X. But I also want it on my Xbox One and it’s not letting me. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

[rare cedar]

Hmm, that’s strange. I’d try asking in #1075989764026675210 , maybe someone there can assist.

[small turtle]

Thank you.

[fickle drift]

wdym?

[obsidian wyvern]

hes saying you're good at the game lol

[fickle drift]

hmm i see

[rare cedar]

[polar wyvern]

imagine a team of arbiter, master chief and noble 6

[normal owl]

Well ain't that the truth

[hollow fox]

give me a weapon

[fickle drift]

oh nice

[peak lantern]

For halo infinite how do you unlock the commando shoulder pad? I've seen people with it

[hard crane]

Bruh my bank just gave me a heart attack.

They were trying to call me 3 times and turns out it's because they wanted to ask me... If I have something to ask them about.

[normal owl]

Now that's customer service.

I guess you could say your bank was highly interested.

[hard crane]

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that; I just don't appreciate the small pain in my chest I felt for 30 secs while thinking "oh welp that surely can't be good"

[fickle drift]

lol

[hard crane]

LMAO

[fickle drift]

its bad when they send you a letter

[hard crane]

That's probably what they meant in "killing with kindness"

[normal owl]

"You qualify for this 5.00% APY!"

[hard crane]

Like who gets 3 calls from their bank and thinks "they probably just want to know how I'm doing in life"?

[normal owl]

They're unfortunately training people to be less alert to actual fraud outreach attempts.

[obsidian wyvern]

it was in an old event

[hard crane]

Thing is I'm also currently slowly returning a small loan lol, and today was the 3rd payment out of 6.

So you can probably imagine what was going on in my head.

[normal owl]

Come to think of it, my local branch called me a few weeks ago. I had their number saved so I knew it was the actual branch, so I thought it was something important. It was just to see if I had any idle cash to invest in their CDs etc.

[normal owl]

Yeah holy crap that must've been the worst.

[hard crane]

"So amm... How's life? Family, wife? Got any extra money you wanna give us?"

[hard crane]

Just barely managed to breath for 20 seconds, nothing serious. 😂

[normal owl]

I told her I wish I could but I shop cash alternatives regularly and knew theirs wasn't the best rate & term. She was like "I know" but obviously still under a mandate to make those calls.

Had to grind her work battle pass.

[hard crane]

Yep, lots of their benefits depends on these pretty much sale calls.

[normal owl]

Their "weeklies"

[hard crane]

Also why I'm never angry at these calls and 99% of the time I'll answer nicely, they're just doing their job

[normal owl]

Same, except once in a while you get some kid who has console-war level aggression that his company's offering is truly the only good one and you're a fool if you don't see it after his ranting.

[hard crane]

Yeah had one of these numb clowns who's working at my tv provider trying to get me to get their internet as well.

[normal owl]

Hahaha I can imagine that call

[hard crane]

Actually was interested until he started treating me like an actual kid (my voice makes me sound pretty young) and told me to get my mom on the phone), I told him he can get his boss he just lost on a deal and that if they'll ever call me again about their internet services, I'm disconnecting from their tv services as well

[normal owl]

Yeah he committed the cardinal error: assuming.

[hard crane]

I really wonder what goes in their heads when they pull that stuff.
"I'm gonna patronize and tell that potential customer how stupid he is, that will surely convince him"

[normal owl]

They get blinded by lust for the sales conversion and lose critical thinking, I think, in those situations.

[hard crane]

A bunch of low-leveled, charisma-of-a-stapler thinking they're the wolf of wall street😂

[fickle drift]

idk what to play ;-;

[silk narwhal]

To anyone who’s got hell divers 2 would you recommend it to someone who’s got arachnophobia

[molten pelican]

I do not, but you should.

[silk narwhal]

I said the arachnophobia part because I have arachnophobia

[obsidian wyvern]

they don't even look like spiders much

[molten pelican]

I dispise spiders, but at my size they are almost equals to me

[silk narwhal]

It will probably come to Xbox eventually

[hasty zinc]

I have arachnophobia and so far from what I've watched it hasn't really triggered it

starship troopers doesn't trigger it either

[molten pelican]

im getting very close to purchasing helldivers 2

[ivory coyote]

Shadow of the erdtree trailer soon

Can't wait.

[trim saddle]

borderlands movie trailer also

[ivory coyote]

I saw the screenshots.

It does not spark me with joy in all honesty.

[trim saddle]

i got a "oh, thats cool" reaction but i didnt jump out of my chair lol

history showed me that movies made from games hasnt had a decent track record.

[vast venture]

Has it been said anywhere that Theater mode in Halo Infinite is actively being worked on?

[ivory coyote]

I think some of the casting is very ????? Like why is Cate Blanchett playing Lillith

It reeks of 'this is a comedy game so we'll get a bunch of people known for having a sense of humour to play these goofy characters' 🤪

[trim saddle]

and here i thought lillith was supposed to be a younger character?

[molten pelican]

absolutely it will soon

[ivory coyote]

I'm huffing that hopium as well. A man can dream

I honestly think the BL movie got rinsed in a Hollywood deal for a quick cash grab lmao

[molten pelican]

I am almost certain the fallout show will be catered towards extremely casual watchers

[trim saddle]

it would be neat to see which friends have a sense of situational awareness or not when it comes to that game lol i dont play ranked on halo because i get team naded too many times.

[molten pelican]

ranked does not give me joy

[forest lagoon]

What if they need the investment to drop a real hot mix track?

[smoky kindle]

is anyone elses halo 2 mcc achievements bugged?
ive completed 5 campaign missions but havent received a single achievement for any of them, including a terminal

[trim saddle]

I soloQ my placements and leave it alone after that

[obsidian wyvern]

I got a lot for H2 today actually

[ivory coyote]

I mean fallout lately has always been very open as far as series go. I'd actually say it has a decent shot of being the best adaption.

[smoky kindle]

is there any way to fix achievements not unlocking

[molten pelican]

the trailer looks very solid, so im not worried atm

[peak lantern]

They should make an update where you can just pay for individual parts from a bundle

[cobalt flower]

There doesn't need to be 3 different hammers in super Fiesta

[muted rose]

Hoping it continues the frenzied flame ending

[smoky kindle]

i tried some methods to fix (unlocking halowaypoint.com from ad blockers, verifying the game files, etc.) but nothing worked and now MCC just loads on an infinite loop
i cant access multiplayer because its "establishing a connection with the server", even though its done that for 15+ minutes

campaign is accessible but achievements wont unlock

[molten pelican]

have you made a post about it in #1075989764026675210

[candid solar]

Local user gets exactly what they sign up for in super fiesta, proceeds to be annoyed about it

[smoky kindle]

im doing that rn

[candid tusk]

You're right, it's SUPER Fiesta, it needs ten or more!

[molten pelican]

good luck mate

[smoky kindle]

yeah man its a big bummer 😭

[molten pelican]

fr hope that gets sorted out

[molten pelican]

we enjoy the chaos of super fiesta

[obsidian wyvern]

there's 2

[molten pelican]

lacking

[cobalt flower]

Theres normal
Upgraded
And banished

[obsidian wyvern]

oh a person I was playing with last night had that connection message keep popping up

[smoky kindle]

yeah and theres a constant loading circle in the corner on the menu too
do yk how to fix it?

[hard crane]

Helldivers is so damn fun, idk why I waited until now to buy it

[obsidian wyvern]

he reinstalled mcc but I don't think we checked to see if it was working again after that

[obsidian wyvern]

@fickle drift what happened

[molten pelican]

I need to buy it and get it for a buddy, looks like a good time

[smoky kindle]

i verified the game files and the situation got worse for me
before it was just achievements not unlocking but now im completely locked out of multiplayer

[obsidian wyvern]

in super fiesta it's only the variants

[covert dove]

[rapid pivot]

Brute shot should have been in infinite

[analog knot]

Fix for this is to log out of your XBL accout and back in. If it gets stuck logging you back in, clear your XBL credentials from your credential manager 😄

Also you can read some of the posts in community self help, comes up there all the time.

[smoky kindle]

it keeps asking me to re-sign in every time i start the game and that doesnt work
and what is a credential manager

[analog knot]

I saw your thread there and posted my guide.

[smoky kindle]

oh aight

[candid tusk]

And the Spiker. And the Plasma Rifle. And the Brute Plasma Rifle.

[smoky kindle]

@analog knot imgur urls dont look like that my guy

[analog knot]

They do, not sure what you're talking about. The "i" in the URL means its just the image. You are free to go through one by one and delete the entries, dont blame you for being hesitant.

[faint mantle]

I just looked. Yes they do.

Reddit with their latest ai thing is pretty lame

[faint mantle]

Omg where do I pick mine up

[deft peak]

That's so wholesome 100 happy Keanu moment

[faint mantle]

I'll be waiting for that DM from spez 😌

[hasty zinc]

the one saying you've been banned?

[faint mantle]

Banned? What do you take me for?!

[amber mirage]

Someone who got banned

[deft peak]

A redditor?

[smoky token]

yeah this company gonna die soon lol

spez will sell off all his shares, become a billionaire, and then leave the rest of the platform to the wolves

what a shame

[acoustic frost]

Could not have read a more perfect comment about the game 👍

[candid solar]

Good riddance tbh

[jovial pumice]

Hey everone

[fickle drift]

Just seen we're getting a newly updated Star Wars Battlefront I and II. The original games are getting revamped with multiplayer and online maps along with new characters. That's so hype.

[cursive comet]

is halo not working right now?

[smoky token]

it was a good platform for artists to build a platform for themselves

which is the best thing it was good for imo

once you’ve built a platform on there you could move to twitter and chill or whatever but reddit was a really good jumping off point

[valid grotto]

me: gets on halo for the first time in a few months and opens up fire fight
that one teamate after we win: yall suck
me: but im just lil rusty

anyone else have that one teamate lol

[valid grotto]

i dont know i havent been on in a few days three to be exact

[winter flame]

some people are just insanely toxic

[candid solar]

I block and mute pretty much anyone who even attempts to communicate with me on XBL.

Unless it's praising me, then you're based and kino and I tolerate you.

[valid grotto]

which is perfectly fine by me there words dont bother me they just make me laugh

i dont take toxic people very seriously over gameing i just kinda laugh and dont respond to there antics

[winter flame]

that said me and rev had a weird experience the other day in BTB where everyone was in the chat being wholesome. never seen so many GGs in Halo's text chat

reminded me of BF4 on PC only without the toxicity lol

[forest lagoon]

Legit made me chuckle

[valid grotto]

bro when from playing halo to manner sim

[candid solar]

Usually, the friendliest servers in games I know of are either Mechwarrior or the more 'realism focused' shooter games, specifically stuff like Hell Let Loose.

Provided you actually tried to do your job, even if you died like 20 times, you won't usually get too much flak if you're a noob.

The most I ever got flak for was driving a truck I shouldn't have driven.

[valid grotto]

for every toxic individual just remember there is atleast three wholsome players to counter them

[candid solar]

Reverse that and you get Halo :3

[valid grotto]

for a second i thought you said halo 3

[candid solar]

Oh, that works even better, I wish I said that

[valid grotto]

;3

[winter flame]

BTB sweat stacks are the single most toxic group of Halo players... generally speaking. Not every stack, but the ones who go into BTB to ratio rando players like they're in a HCS competition

otherwise Halo BTB is pretty wholesome i think
