[candid solar]

I think the Bandit EVO reticule should randomly change size from 10-25% in either direction entirely at random for every integer your FOV goes up or down

[forest lagoon]

Why are you the way that you are

[obsidian wyvern]

good question

[elfin glacier]

he is entrenched

[lapis ivy]

Lol

[robust spear]

They should nerf every gun tbh

[fickle drift]

Nerf or nothin’?

[candid solar]

You're right, Skyfi-I think every playlist should be changed solely to ranked Dino Blasters.

[maiden raptor]

Da rat

[obsidian wyvern]

:wtf:

oops

[bold otter]

Halo 3||Odst|| is a great game

[obsidian wyvern]

you're right

[fickle drift]

Certified :pain: moment

[maiden raptor]

Also facts

[forest lagoon]

At this point, why not

[obsidian wyvern]

it's funny because I was playing with the Evo today and the crosshair felt so wrong, good to know I was right about that

[bold otter]

Odst Battle Royale

[maiden raptor]

Fr fr

Idk why it’s so big lol. I wish we could adjust reticles tbh

[indigo flint]

yeah the outer one is useless, throws me off really

[maiden raptor]

The only way that I can use it and make it feel like before they removed bloom it’s putting my FOV at 120 💀

But that also makes all my other ones butt

So I just pick up the normal bandit or a BR lol

[maiden raptor]

I would actually like to see a game something like that tbh

[obsidian wyvern]

I went down to around 100 fov again so the middle reticle did feel too small

I guess I'll move back up to like 110 at least to try see if it feels better

[hexed geyser]

dont you guys miss screen peeking

[civic walrus]

yeah

does infinite limit split screen to 2 players?

[bold otter]

No

[civic walrus]

so 4?

[smoky token]

saw my first IRL warthog

[fleet imp]

Man

[fleet imp]

Xd

Well.

[cedar turret]

that's why we need citizen parking tickets

[maiden raptor]

😱

[elfin glacier]

pour saltwater on it

[smoky token]

tempting

[elfin glacier]

you can also give em free car wash coupons

[obsidian wyvern]

help them buy a better car

[tough birch]

does the MCC on xbox include reach and odst as well ? its on sale and it says on the store page “included in this bundle” section that it has them, but im still not sure

[fickle drift]

It should

[fleet imp]

Wsp

MCC Xbox.

🤔

[fickle drift]

ODST and Reach's Campaign / Firefight are treated as dlc's for MCC on Xbox

[fleet imp]

Yes

[fickle drift]

So they are seperate from the main package of CE:A, H2:A, H3, H4 and Reach's multiplayer.

[fleet imp]

That's right.

[fleet imp]

Still don't like H2A

Anyways.

[opaque frost]

https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-ron-burgundy-anchorman-legend-of-ron-burgundy-i-love-scotch-gif-15007010

The cork on my Macallan 12 cap broke off?? Come on dude

[covert dove]

[tough birch]

i just bought it and it did give me the reach and odst addons

im installing ill come back and declare if it actually works but once again, it seems i have them

[maiden raptor]

I miss the mantis 🥲

[covert dove]

Same 😔

[maiden raptor]

I’d love if it came with the falcon next update Ong

Idk why it was removed tbh. I don’t know anyone who dislikes it

[candid solar]

I HATE the Mantis

[covert dove]

Fun times. Idc if it didn’t came to main matchmaking, would be fun to use in forge

[maiden raptor]

Well except that bird guy I don’t anyone else lol

[maiden raptor]

That’s fair

I just think a mech in general would be cool have again

Like the ones from wars. That’d be awesome in big team battle

[candid solar]

I absolutely HATE the Mantis

I'd NEVER say I like the Mantis or miss it

I'm so angry it ever EXISTED it's so MANTIS

[fickle drift]

A weapon to surpass metal gear

[cedar turret]

You'd love the mantis if it had pants

[safe dawn]

Ngl the mantis was annoying to fight in h4 mp on mcc, me and my team were getting stomped to hell by it, altho i will admit that the labrinth mode from the community playlist in h5 was fun

[uncut turret]

Wait, is the Falcon confirmed next update or are you just wishing for it

[pliant hatch]

hannibal mantis was crazy

[fickle drift]

Definitely wishing, otherwise it would’ve come around season 2/3

[fickle drift]

That’s not celery, the riots already started!

[candid solar]

Yeah, it's a leek.

No 'leek' talk allowed.

[pliant hatch]

just equip a plasma pistol lol

[fickle drift]

Fine, we’ll talk about onions then

[indigo lotus]

The mantis is unique mech. More interesting on variants in H5.

[fickle drift]

Tbf the mantis feels kinda clunky in movement

[pliant hatch]

give me a ed-209

[safe dawn]

It was in the time where i was new to halo and just used whatever looked cool, namely he railgun, which just bounced off the man :|

[fickle drift]

Is it me or is it harder to find people to regularly play with?

[safe dawn]

Because it is

[pliant hatch]

oh, dropped into the deep end. that wouldn't have been fun then.

[safe dawn]

Yep, fresh into the game and knowing no one who plays it, fun times

Jetpack and dmr go hard for getting into funny spots and sniping lol

[delicate river]

I ll play w u on one condition

Find me a good scan of halo ce japan cover art

[safe dawn]

Lol

[fickle drift]

Why the specific condition…? Lol

[mystic marsh]

God, I hate Halo 2.
Due to the stress I had two days ago, I can't play FPS at night anymore due to my mom's fear of me getting mad for a game.

[pliant hatch]

I like the light rifle more

[delicate river]

Ive asked every big halo ytbers discord and no one has a copy ig theyre rare

[candid solar]

Halo 5 Covenant aesthetics be like

[fickle drift]

Clawed off shotgun?

[delicate river]

And i don't want to nag panda for fear of gettin banned

[fickle drift]

You won’t get banned for that

[mystic marsh]

Is that a Crab Skin Shotgun?

[fickle drift]

At least I don’t think so

[safe dawn]

Just wait till panda shows up then ask

[delicate river]

I asked him and he said no

[safe dawn]

Oof

Welp, google does wonders

[delicate river]

Could you guys help me persuade him

[safe dawn]

Nah, im good

[delicate river]

Lets start a union

[safe dawn]

nah, im good

[delicate river]

U r stinky

[safe dawn]

Why do you think im about to go take a shower?

[cedar turret]

Ah, lovely I volunteered to monitor nap time for the pre-k crowd

[delicate river]

Sure

[safe dawn]

Recommendation, dont screw around with the mods

[delicate river]

Ight i was just kiddin
Btw whats pre k crowd

[safe dawn]

They mean people acting like toddlers

Or just literally they volunteered to minitor some pre-k kids naptime

[delicate river]

I forget ppl on the internet have real lives

[river sigil]

Hello

Who named me wù?-

[delicate river]

Lol wut

[safe dawn]

You, or your display name ticked automod and it did somn

[opaque frost]

i thought it was made of pretzel's 😭

[river sigil]

I never named myself wù

[safe dawn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[river sigil]

I did got my discord account hacked

[rapid pivot]

Is the gravity hammer in Halo 5 campaign? I don’t remember it ever showing up

[lapis ivy]

What kind of species does the grunt belong i hear it's ungoy lol

They're like crabs or something

[cedar turret]

They're pinatas. Filled with confetti

[safe dawn]

Unngoy is their proper name, and i dont think theyre crabs

Idk, i dont remember off the top of my head

[lapis ivy]

Same

[delicate river]

They are ugly but cute with masks

[safe dawn]

Maybe? Might've been a "hidden" weapon

[lapis ivy]

It's ironic that all species can't stand the kig yar

[safe dawn]

They're a bunch of pirates lol, what do you expect

[candid solar]

They also canonically make a very large mess everywhere they go.

[lapis ivy]

Well I hear that's cause of their screechy voice

[rapid pivot]

I don’t recall it being one of the hidden weapons.

If it’s in the game it’s not as a legendary variant. It’s just a normal hammer.

They were barely in H4 too. There’s only one obvious one and some hidden cache ones.

[safe dawn]

Idk, the only weapons i remember finding were a hydra (maybe) and nornfang, which i promptly dropped bc i wasnt the sniper i am today

[lapis ivy]

Space pirates you mean @safe dawn

[safe dawn]

Still pirates

[rapid pivot]

There’s quite a few hidden legendary weapon variants in Halo 5. The Nordfang isn’t even that hidden though. And I don’t think there is a legendary variant of the Hydra in the campaign.

[pliant hatch]

https://www.halopedia.org/Unggoy

[lapis ivy]

In that case they almost relate to the ones in Metroid

[safe dawn]

Nah, it was a normal one if even a hydra, i found it on the chief mission on the space station in some shipping containers

[delicate river]

Can u dm random ppl on reddit

[safe dawn]

Why did i read that as madrid-

[lapis ivy]

Lol

[safe dawn]

Why....

[lapis ivy]

The elites remind me of the predator

Though

[delicate river]

I found a guy who posted that he had a copy so i want to beg him for a scan

[safe dawn]

Fair enough tbh, considering the active camo and all

Just give em promethean vision from h4 and you have a wannabe predator

[rustic ridge]

Halo Legends 2 when?

[mystic marsh]

What was Halo Legends, anyway?

[rustic ridge]

Now that Star Wars is repopularizing anime inspired short films

[rustic ridge]

Anime inspired short films that were largely non-canon to the Halo universe

Star Wars and the Matrix have also done their takes on this

[mystic marsh]

Wait really?

Halo had an ACTUAL Anime? I thought that the Halo Anime was fanmade.

I know it's inspired, but it still surprises me.

[cedar turret]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_Legends

[rustic ridge]

Shoutout to like every Halo lore video that uses clips from Origins I and II for like every forerunner section

Does 343 and Microsoft even have the budget to commission another series of these lol

Microsoft doesn't have the budget for their own staff so I'm gonna assume no

But I'm sure there's some good fan stuff out there

[delicate river]

Drashig u might like halo graphic novel

Rtas vadum backstory

[lapis ivy]

An anime halo series

[delicate river]

I wamt to say something but i wont

[rustic ridge]

Star Wars also has recently released Tales of the Jedi and soon Tales of the Empire

Which are actually canon short stories

I hate the current "expanded media for essential story telling" Halo has been going with for the last couple years, but I think there's some potential there

[tight remnant]

cyberpunk edgerunner but halo during the created era

[bold otter]

I would watch this

[cedar turret]

no one is stopping you

[indigo lotus]

I remember watching Halo Legends. It was a good film, I watched it for hours.

[cedar turret]

no you didn't. You only watched it for an hour and 51 minutes

[pliant hatch]

think my fav was the odst story

[indigo lotus]

In run time, yes. But watched again and again on DVD when it came out.

[safe dawn]

Its on YT for free iirc

[indigo lotus]

Babysitter is a good one it is my favorite episode along "The Package".

[maiden raptor]

It’s look like from the leaks but it is but it’s not known when or if its still going to happen.

[fossil skiff]

[topaz gazelle]

Quick off topic question: Ive done Infinite campaign twice and in both times I havent come across a ridable wasp and condor. Do those even exist?

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah to the wasp, you can even spawn it in with enough Valor. no to the condor

[warped rivet]

Damn that sucks

Are there ridable pelicans, other than the main one ridden by Echo

[lapis ivy]

I remember when McFarlane used to make halo figures and I collected a hunter large figure I was disappointed that they didn't make a gold hunter lol

Now halo figures are hard to come by

[hollow sparrow]

How the hell is 343 telling us what the needler is considered news???

[real hemlock]

The number of times a grunt has blown me up today by sneaking behind me and deciding to nuke himself is wayyyy too much XD

[soft kiln]

there is that one specific funny sound a grunt starts to make when they get closer to you with the nades 😂 i try to grapple away as soon as i hear it, just hold on to anything to get away from that position

[real hemlock]

I guess it would help if I turned up game volume just a bit

Also watched a grunt throw a sticky on another grunts face which was kinda funny

[lapis ivy]

Grunt hug

Trust me they did to me more than once and my whole squad is wiped out

Urrgg

[graceful inlet]

Good Morning Spartans!
(And Marines)
Reporting for duty!

[lapis ivy]

Morning @graceful inlet🫡

[viscid belfry]

Enjoying watching a Japanese vtuber just jumping down the Halo rabbit hole

She binged through the entire MCC campaigns

My fav still is when she just started crying when finishing Reach

[lapis ivy]

But I guess that's the nature of grunts bombing themselves out in a blaze of glory

But hilarious when brutes toss them

[soft kiln]

u totally need to have the volume up. the stuff these little fellows yell at u are hilarious.

[lapis ivy]

The way they scream is hilarious

[soft kiln]

if you dont cry at the end of reach, are you human?

[delicate river]

Reach odst and 4 are not canon

[viscid belfry]

She was so shocked that Jorge was the first to go

[lapis ivy]

Grunts are the funniest creatures in the universe @soft kiln

Despite the brutes say they're annoying

[viscid belfry]

Grunts are also some of the most tragic

[soft kiln]

they are. i dont like gore etc so i think one of the major things that got me into halo ce in the first place was that the enemies kinda had more into them and they looked cool, were kinda funny even and wort wort wort

[lapis ivy]

Definitely only that chac lok says wort wort and the other elites go like what? When they see you

And grunts react to headshots and say ugh he caught one in the brains

[tawny void]

Yeah you were right it was easy

Only hard part was trying to get a shotgun at the beginning

[viscid belfry]

Live Fire... probably the worst map for Gruntpocalypse... close quarters galore.

[real hemlock]

I literally just played a match on that map it suckkkss no good weapons

Feel like I'm scrounging the battlefield for some good fire power more than on the hill XD

[viscid belfry]

And Live Fire has no ammo stations

[lapis ivy]

The bulldog is like a shotgun no?

[winged bobcat]

Hi y'all. How's it going?

[soft kiln]

i like that map! sometimes u have no weapons, just plasma pistol. the nades are a thing in that map

[fickle drift]

Sold Xbox one S for $40… shoulda waited until I replaced it lol. Think 40 was decent for old console ?

[lapis ivy]

I never trade anything at GameStop lol

[fickle drift]

lol it feels not the best but I’m going to enjoy some halo later today

[lapis ivy]

It's pretty unfair that if you were to trade an Xbox or switch despite it's condition and original cost they only give 94 bucks for the switch not sure about the Xbox

[real hemlock]

Yeah I was def grenade spamming like crazy

[lapis ivy]

But at least I upgraded to series x/s and those I purchased at Walmart cause it's cheaper than GameStop

[lapis ivy]

Like throw two grenades?

You throw the first one and you throw the second

[soft kiln]

you can pick up more 😉

[lapis ivy]

Oh yeah definitely from the ones that grunts drop

That's true

[tender solstice]

Yello

[soft kiln]

even if you run out of nades, i just sometimes go pick them up from the spawn points and by that time the enemies have congregated and its a prime spot to throw some in 😈

[lapis ivy]

I can blow entire squad of grunts when they come to take the hill it's hilarious

Don't forget the spnkr

Rocket launcher

Or gravity hammer

[vague swallow]

BipBap's disruptor is also a good weapon to use

[lapis ivy]

Yeah that's true it takes out a squad

[real hemlock]

Yeah there was like 30 grenades on the ground XD

I love the variant disrupter takes out entire groups

[vague swallow]

It also melts you like butter

Question: how to effectively deal with multiple Bipbaps without power weapons when mythic is on

[lapis ivy]

In mcc I remember the pinata skull on when you melee the covenant plasma grenades come pouring out

Idk I think I would use the bulldog or briglard's plasma pistol

[rare cedar]

I let them capture the hill, it’s easier that way 😦

[pulsar heron]

[delicate river]

I KNOW THIS DUDE MANTIS IN MOMBASA

[covert dove]

[delicate river]

Whats that thing in between

[limpid ferry]

These shop prices need to go

[left bone]

they will never decrease because microsoft told them so!✨

[limpid ferry]

Like their unjustified, we know they’re only at these prices to appease Microsoft demands.

[left bone]

since it has a leash on 343, it holds the studio on gunpoint!✨

(which i dont like.)

[winter flame]

just dont buy the expensive stuff. the only way prices will change or stuff gets unbundled is if they can see demand is subsantially higher doing so

[left bone]

(we could've gotten a spaceship game.)

[limpid ferry]

It’s sad cause 343 has shown it has potential to create great things, but is held back by its higher ups.

[left bone]

i feel bad for the devs (not the higher ups)

they almost got worked to the bones when developing halo infinite and wanted a bit of a morale boost or a break before working on it again

[limpid ferry]

Oh of course not the Higher Ups are the reason we keep getting more trash Halo games.

[fickle drift]

Isn’t Microsoft notoriously hands off

At least this gen

[left bone]

they arent doing muc

they havent even do jack with their bought studios

i was like "oh? finally, xbox is getting some new exclu-"

and nothing happened.

[limpid ferry]

Microsoft is the one splitting 343 apart by bringing in contractors to work on their personal projects for a fraction of employee cost and benefits.

[winter flame]

i think Xbox underinvests in halo as an IP, regardless of how 343 perform as a studio

[left bone]

true

i think they want a broader audience

"when everyone plays, we all win"

[candid solar]

Halo 4's horrendously shortsighted release by itself speaks volumes. At least IMO.

[left bone]

why do they even make contracts in the first place?

[limpid ferry]

Private contractors hurt game development, cause they leave the studio after their contracts expire, and leave whatever they were working on unfinished.

[candid solar]

'Alright, new Halo studio. I know the 360's lifespan's ending soon, and you guys need to really knock it out of the park with your first game.

That's why we're gonna have you launch Halo 4 only a year after Reach, on the same console, just before the One comes out. Don't mess this up.'

[winter flame]

how that game wasn't at the very least cross gen is baffling. Nobody at 343 would have been happy about that, including the management

[candid solar]

They had to deal with that while uptraining new people, building it off of Reach's (unfinished!!!) skeleton, and ballooning in size.

It feels like Microsoft was desperately trying to overshadow Reach when that's like, the dumbest possible move at the time, lmao

[left bone]

halo reach 2 revealed

[limpid ferry]

Who could forget Halo 5’s notoriously bad launch, getting ban hammered while playing multiplayer lol

[left bone]

lets not mention the req pack outrage

[candid solar]

I remember MCC's launch more than I remember 5's. Though I still love the Halo 5 req advert with Mister Chief.

[left bone]

you had to gamble your time and money to get the helmet you finally wanted

i still couldnt get mine

[limpid ferry]

Gah that was awful 😣

[left bone]

that system was tied to a PVE and a PVPVE mode

like

huh????

[candid solar]

That made sense tbh.

Halo's BTB was always pretty well liked

So I get wanting it bigger

[left bone]

also

why did they made forge mode online only?

[limpid ferry]

Every time you lost a scorpion in game you realize you lost like $20 per vehicle

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[candid solar]

... No?

[left bone]

like

i tried to start up forge in 5 without a online subscription at the time

[candid solar]

Barring the fact I never spent a dime on 5's reqs short of the warzone voices, tanks weren't $20.

[left bone]

and it just says "wUh oH! u dont haz permission to-"

and im like
'dude, im not bringing anyone with me.'

'my income is ZERO'

[candid solar]

I really don't care about the online only thing for Forge.

[left bone]

yeah

i have never spent a penny on that game

and then infinite happened.

i thought "we're back!! were back! zomg!!!"

played the insider version before season 1 and i already noticed some red flags

[livid oyster]

They should’ve given achilles armor to people in infinite who earned it in 5. That armor is goated

[limpid ferry]

Infinite the game that gobbles your wallet, and gives very little for it.

[candid solar]

🙄

[left bone]

and when i played in season 1

i had a bit of a rough time with it

sure i like the gameplay but there were other things i dont like

[candid solar]

Not really, not until recently.

Even now you still get way more free content with the free game than... Well, pretty much all other competition, actually.

[left bone]

and it took so many updates to bring infinite to what it was supposed to be at launch which is

sad really

[limpid ferry]

The battle passes may of never been great in Halo Infinite but at least they kept the store from getting overloaded with unjustified transactions.

[left bone]

bad management, greed, and just folks leaving due to contracts n' stuff

[candid solar]

Infinite's a pretty damn cheap game, but people somehow spun up this narrative that a $80 digital hulk hand in a game with paid normal MP is better than Infinite's store.

Sorry, I mean, King Kong fist.

[left bone]

yeah i was about to correct you

[candid solar]

It's not so much that Infinite's store is good, it's not, but it's easily better than the majority of its traditional competition.

[left bone]

also, i have no news on where these "free points" to spend on armor peices instead of using money are coming to infinite

[limpid ferry]

Bruh if 343 would have actual collaborations with other games or films then they could justify their store pricing a lil bit.

[candid solar]

Oh hell no, there's no justification for an $80 monkey paw.

[left bone]

it doesnt even give you an advantage

[bronze breach]

Terminator in Halo pls

[limpid ferry]

Tell that to Call of Duty

[left bone]

its literally just a glove

[candid solar]

I'm condemning call of duty for it.

[left bone]

its always call of duty and its bootlickers

[candid solar]

I hate that word.

[left bone]

"hey guyz wanna play warzone? ahyuk"

[limpid ferry]

Cough cough, don’t forget Fortnite

[left bone]

"bRo this guy on woorzone sucks like bootycheeks"

[fickle drift]

I’m sure that if crossovers occurred people wouldn’t go into a rage over art style clashes

[candid solar]

Overwatch

[left bone]

heyy
dont insult that game

at least it has more variety than a franchise that released the same thing over and over again

(yeah, im looking at you, cod)

(you turned my friends into hollow shells of their empty selves)

[limpid ferry]

COD sucks

[fickle drift]

It’s better as a fish than a game imo.

[left bone]

true

[candid solar]

That's the weird thing about Halo, it pretty consistently has the best pricing system compared to its competition, but never really gets credit for it. Which on the one hand I get, because, well, stores and mtxes suck, but on the other, like, c'mon, throw em a frickin bone here.

[left bone]

also

why put rarity
in a halo game??????

[limpid ferry]

Yeh the rarity system needs to go away in Halo Infinite

[candid solar]

It made sense in 5. Not a lot in Infinite, but I think it's more just a 'wow cool dopamine' thing in Infinite.

[left bone]

only for the halo 5 weapons.

[amber mirage]

Rarity's a misnomer. It's not actually a reflective of how rare things are. It's more reflective of pricing bands/perceived quality in the context of Infinite.

[candid solar]

No, all of 5's cosmetics had a rarity.

Common, uncommon, rare, ultra rare, legendary, mythic.

[limpid ferry]

Correction it’s to lure in the looters from all those looter shooters like Fortnite, Destiny, Pub G, and Borderlands.

[left bone]

no.

i said that it only made sense for the halo 5 weapons

not the suits

[candid solar]

Ah

[left bone]

correction

people who get dopamine rush when they see the color orange/yellow (rarity)

[candid solar]

^

I do wish they'd actually outright say that.

Unless they did and I just missed it?

[obsidian wyvern]

I think they did

[fickle sequoia]

what does the 14th day of the month have to do wtih reach

[limpid ferry]

They actually did admit to it

[obsidian wyvern]

they said it reflects how much work has gone into making it iirc

[left bone]

now listen here you little

[candid solar]

That makes a lot of sense.

[limpid ferry]

343 can make Halo great again if Microsoft would just allow them to.

[left bone]

the squares company wont let them

[obsidian wyvern]

here we go blaming msft with no idea

[left bone]

they could build a death laser if they want

but all they do is play it safe
like

[limpid ferry]

We’re not dumb a lot of Former 343 have testified against Microsoft and the other Higher ups.

[left bone]

i always had a gripe with microsoft as a whole

forcing me to try out the new version of their apps

just

just upgrade them
dont separate it smh

[ocean sierra]

What can you expect from a fandom that quite literally hates any sort of changes past Halo Bungie games.

[left bone]

i also dislike bungie

[candid solar]

Preaching to the choir.

[left bone]

but im not gonna make a 40 minute rant why

[limpid ferry]

Bungie would have eventually gone down the same road with Halo if given the opportunity

We’re seeing it unfold with Destiny 2 as proof

[left bone]

how did they fumble destiny 2

[limpid ferry]

Unjustified Transactions

[left bone]

think deeper

[limpid ferry]

Deeper?

[limpid ferry]

What could be deeper than forcing your fanbase to keep buying new versions of the game in order to continue playing the game?

[left bone]

i thought it said "i will feel you"

[limpid ferry]

When Halo Infinite fumbled everyone shifted to blaming Bonnie Ross for the failure, but according to testimonies from Former 343 devs, they say she did all she could for the game, that Microsoft Suits just wouldn’t allow what actually needed to be done to fix it.

[livid oyster]

I blame bill gates

[limpid ferry]

He’s not even with the company anymore

They pay him just for still having his name on the brand

[obsidian wyvern]

[winter flame]

MS To-Do not integrating with Outlook Calendar boggles my mind

[fickle drift]

Ello

[rare cedar]

Fallout show was pretty good. Never played the games so it was a fresh take on it.

[fickle drift]

Yeah same, I've only played F1 and F2, so had a basic idea but none of the later context

[limpid ferry]

Fallout tv show totally out did the Paramount Halo tv show.

[hard crane]

Damn Bill Gates, you and your injected microchips.

[fickle drift]

Fallout has a lot of dumb humour and bright colours in general they can play off though, Halo would have had to be a lot more gritty to do it properly which is probs a harder balance

[limpid ferry]

Halo tv show is trash and will remain trash

[hard crane]

You're boring

Just thought you should know that.

[fickle drift]

Not really

[winter flame]

amazon studios production is just better then what we saw in the halo show honestly

[limpid ferry]

Just wait season 3 will be the nail in the coffin

[hard crane]

I remember when baits used to mean something

[fickle drift]

Definitely just more investment and lore-love put into it, rather than using a build-a-story template in the Halo setting

[candid solar]

Oh, wow. What a fresh and original take. I'm so glad you're here to inform us.

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not bait

[hard crane]

Please let me keep thinking it's just a bad attempt at baiting

[fickle drift]

They are bringing in the flood and they already brang out the arbiter, (although it isn't Thel Vadam because reach hasn't been glassed yet), out of anything, the halo series is getting better step by step, master chief just needs to keep his armour and helmet on

My opinion

[livid oyster]

You’d think my microchips would make me a loyal subject, but not a chance

[fickle drift]

End of S2 gave me more hope fersure, I think it's fine as long as you look at it as SciFi Show With Halo Flavour rather than Halo: the series

[fickle drift]

Fr

[obsidian wyvern]

but that's not what we want lol

we want a good halo show 😩

[fickle drift]

It's getting better step by step

[hard crane]

Ah, that's where you're wrong
You see, this microchips aren't made to make you loyal... They exist to make you want to use Window 13.

[obsidian wyvern]

bleh

[fickle drift]

Like I said, suit stays on and helmet stays on and hopefully it will be peak

just need someone like the guy who made Astartes to put the next 10 years of their life into making a serious fan project lol

[obsidian wyvern]

halo should just go the anime route

[fickle drift]

Lol

[fickle drift]

Halo legends

[hard crane]

I'm banishing you to the furnace of bad ideas

[obsidian wyvern]

halo legends was meh

[winter flame]

halo show has too much fill to be a good show. Even if S3 is really good, I could never recommend it because most people wouldn't get through most of 1 and 2

[livid oyster]

Came across a funny meme the other day of Pablo looking a little confused signing a master chief helmet, “Idk what this is, but I’ll sign it”

[fickle drift]

Yeah

[obsidian wyvern]

but that prototype episode in halo legends was really good, just having stuff like that would be great

[obsidian wyvern]

??

[hard crane]

I couldn't give more youknowhat about the helmet thing but this sounds hilarious

[winter flame]

and I say that as someone super into scifi shows and im also not that bothered by it not being canon

[fickle drift]

Lol he's apart of the banished now

[limpid ferry]

The flood being released on ONI Onyx base instead of Installation 00 hmm, ok sure let’s see where it goes from there, Arbiter fallen at the Hands of Master Cheeks, and Mackey still somehow alive after being shot in the head by Kai back in season 1, sure let’s just wait and see what goofy written plot armor comes next season.

[hard crane]

I am
Banishing you
To the furnace
Of bad ideas

Because this is a bad idea

[obsidian wyvern]

how is it a bad idea

[fickle drift]

I mean all we really need see is a lot of big battlefield pewpewpew, 1spartanv100 pewpewpew and then a couple of "unsc is as bad as the aliens?!?!" notes; the rest of the plot is kinda just an addon

when I first got into halo I called the small infection forms popcorn

[hard crane]

How is it not a bad idea

[obsidian wyvern]

3 episodes of halo legends were better than anything in the halo TV show

it should totally go down the animation route

[winter flame]

Rev do you agree Halo Reach was a much better story then the Halo TV show

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

[livid oyster]

Yeah, idc much either, but that was a quality meme lol

[fickle drift]

At least the flood is here, and the arbiter that dies at master chiefs hands isn't really important because it ain't Thel Vadam (just in case, the arbiter from halo 2 - 3 and 5)

[hard crane]

Oh, I don't mind having cartoon halo
But I never want to see an *anime" halo (anime as Naruto, Dragon Ball, etc)

[obsidian wyvern]

ngl that moment where the arbiter betrayed his own in the show was pretty cool

[fickle drift]

Fr

[obsidian wyvern]

you haven't dived much into anime have you

[hard crane]

I quitted after 33% of them

[winter flame]

that's a lot of anime

[fickle drift]

Tbh, the directors and the actors of the halo show should've read the books, played through the games in correct order instead of bearly winging it

[obsidian wyvern]

dusk your quit rate is honestly a sad joke lol 😩

[rare cedar]

Let’s keep the Halo tv series in #halo-the-series-chat and any spoilers in #halo-the-series-spoiler-chat please 🙂

[fickle drift]

Anime would let them explore a lot more of the weird and brutal that would be a nightmare to vfx

[fickle drift]

Oh mb

[hard crane]

Tbh, most of the fanbase isn't doing that themselves

[fickle drift]

Bruh

[limpid ferry]

To be honest I forgot we had that thread lol

[fickle drift]

I've been in halo since halo 2 and I did allat so why can't the actors do it in their free time, I get that they don't have much time, but at least get the story right instead of making mater cheeks take off his armour 24/7

[obsidian wyvern]

oh it's on YouTube, great. this was an awesome halo episode you should all watch

https://youtu.be/qNJaRzbmytw?si=7kUR-h-zLNLX_SOu

from halo legends*

[fickle drift]

Lol I watched this a couple of times

"Be human"

[hard crane]

I'm honestly tired explaining why he doesn't have the armor on at all times so ok

[obsidian wyvern]

https://youtu.be/S0Yap2Nbt60?si=S0Z19gjZTWUQRmXi

this was also a good episode

[limpid ferry]

What the Halo tv show really needs is better writing, better funding, and better support from Paramount.

[obsidian wyvern]

(ugh this one is in 360p though)

[fickle drift]

I get it, but at least have your armour on while in battle- I know it's before the fall of reach and that he doesn't need his armour on 24/7, what I'm tryna say is at least have his armour on more then what's shown on screen

In other news, rewatched Starship Troopers 1, 2 and 3 the other day lol

[fickle drift]

At least a couple of minutes more then what's currently in the show yk

[hard crane]

So imagine every time he's not on screen he has his armor on, problem solved

[obsidian wyvern]

dusk you're just throwing bs at valid criticism tbh

[limpid ferry]

1st one is the still the best the other ones could live without my honest opinion.

[fickle drift]

Oh yeah 100%, although 3 tried its hardest to replicate the charm

2 is a complete miss

[fickle drift]

What I'm trying to imply is that he needs more time with his armour on, at least every episode he has his armour on for rather half of it or a little more, not just off 24/7

Anyways, goodnight I'm heading to bed

12:46 and I got work today

[limpid ferry]

Isn’t some studio in the works on an Aliens tv show?

[hard crane]

We're multiple weeks after season ended and I already spent week after week talking to much more stupid folks with much more stupid complains, I'm def not going to spend effort on this anymore

[hard crane]

Good night pal o7

[fickle drift]

Prequel one, not sure if it has a release date yet but it better have lots of practical

[obsidian wyvern]

..but it's not a stupid complaint

[limpid ferry]

And Horror

[obsidian wyvern]

I do wonder when they'll announce season 3

[hard crane]

Hopefully soon, I'll be surprised if they haven't already started working on it

[limpid ferry]

Probably sometime next year

I’d expect another February to late March release for season 3

[hard crane]

Why would you expect something is "trash and will remain trash"

[obsidian wyvern]

because we still got a S2 after s1 😁

[hard crane]

I know why it's expected, I don't know why an individual who said these very words expect it

[granite sky]

id enjoy animated Halo, itll be nice. The scenes and story will be much higher quality bc no live/film/actor limits. Live action just has too many limitations so some stuff cant be seen or shown. Unless Denis Villeneuve does it then live action will be cool

[limpid ferry]

Just cause I state it as such doesn’t mean it won’t get another year in the spotlight probably if it’s lucky.

[hard crane]

Ok, but why do you care (I'm genuinely asking)

[limpid ferry]

I’m a critic who still wants to be proven wrong

[winter flame]

tbh i dont think the issue is non-canon, or the helmet being off, or Kwan. I think the show just has too much filler while at the same time glossing over events they could have explored in much more interesting ways (literally every reference to Halo Reach is just ruined because they gloss over the event that occurs in the game)

when you trivialise something that is meaningful in the game, why even reference it at all

[hard crane]

So you're saying it can be not trash?

[limpid ferry]

My thoughts exactly too many filler side quests stories taking away from the actual plot and story of what this show could be showing us the audience.

[limpid ferry]

Exactly

[hard crane]

As opposed to your initial statement, that it "will remain trash"

[winter flame]

the show is actually harder to enjoy if you play the games, then if you just watch it with no knowledge of halo. because you know how much better the same story was told

that's just not a good way to adapt a video game series if im being brutally honest

[limpid ferry]

I stated it such way cause the show hasn’t really won me over so far, like yes it’s had a few good aspects but other than that it’s failed so far to make a deep memorable impact on a halo fan like myself.

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah reach the game was told a lot better than the series

and the book says it even better I'm told

[hard crane]

I'm being stingy on purpose, mainly to try and show you hyperbolic statements won't do you good and will mostly diminish the goodwill anyone would have to speak with you about it

[winter flame]

the game at least doesnt feel like its mocking the book, even if it subjectively tells a less interesting story

[limpid ferry]

I appreciate your honesty

[obsidian wyvern]

and breaks the lore lol

[hard crane]

Imagine your starting point was "I don't like the because XYZ", it's inviting someone to prove you wrong

Going with "ah trash will remain trash" 9/10 of the time just make me go "I'm not gonna bother with this one"

[limpid ferry]

I see your point, perhaps my critique approach could use a lil bit less too critical in the future.

[hard crane]

And I heavily respect the fact you can see that 🤝

[limpid ferry]

Hmmm I wonder if a Brute armor core is in the works

[fickle drift]

Not sure about you, but I think a elite core will come out before a brute core

[amber mirage]

The book and game tell completely different stories

[limpid ferry]

Personally I’d accept an elite based armor core with it still being a spartan but with elite armor aesthetics.

[livid oyster]

If anyone only ever reads one halo book, I recommend it be the fall of reach

[fickle drift]

I wonder when we will get image perms

Or is it just pure links that we have to send for a image

[limpid ferry]

My first halo book was Halo First Strike that I bought at a Hastings Store back when I was in middle school.

[livid oyster]

You get them after talking and being around for awhile

[livid oyster]

First strike is good. I really can’t argue with any of the first 9

Well maybe first 6, the kilo 5 trilogy was so-so for me

[fickle drift]

Ah, thank you, I was a bit confused haha

[limpid ferry]

I’ve only ever read two halo novels, the first being the one I mentioned the second being the Fall of Reach

I finally beat Halo Reach MCC Legendary solo last year.

It took me 14hrs to complete

Halo 3 legendary solo took me 11hrs

[hexed geyser]

im playing Halo 3 with a Wii Classic Controller pro

[limpid ferry]

Halo 4 legendary solo took me 17hrs due to the last 3 levels not counting my progress so I had to go back and do them again

I wish I could have my own Halo Esports team but I’m just not really a pro player I’m slightly average at best.

[winter flame]

i dont think i've ever done halo 4 on legendary. the original game you can just complete the last rally point of each level. MCC had the same bug for a while though its now been patched

[candid solar]

It's not that bad.

[winter flame]

maybe i did it with bandana on at some point, but without bandana i just cant stand how scarce the weapons are

[candid solar]

People tend to be really bad at knowing how to handle ammo but over time I figured it out, especially for latestage Promethean levels.

[winter flame]

yeah pretty much

but to be fair CE is the same with ammo scarcity, yet its much easier to figure out

[candid solar]

(It's a surprise tool to kill crawlers for us later)

[limpid ferry]

Every season I rank like Gold VI in Halo Infinite, sometimes I’ll seldomly get Platinum III

[candid solar]

I used the crawler guts to destroy the crawlers to harvest more crawler guts to get more ammo to kill the crawlers

[winter flame]

i did figure out using the boltshot to headshot crawlers, but its just not very enjoyable

like i did it on heroic and didn't find it very fun

[candid solar]

TBH, I do tend to agree Chief should've had that ammo capacity increasing perk thing from the word go.

Not that it usually bothers me to work around.

[limpid ferry]

I’d use the light rifle to headshot the crawlers

[candid solar]

Waste of lightrifle ammo

[limpid ferry]

But the light rifle ammo is literally everywhere

[winter flame]

if you play with bandana its actually very enjoyable. obviously you have no real challenge since you can just haul through missions with power weapons, but you can make it as challenging as you like by using less powerful weapons you enjoy using

[candid solar]

The boltshot's everywhere-er.

[winter flame]

tbh every halo game bar maybe halo 2 is a blast on legendary with bandana... 2 is still kinda brutal

[limpid ferry]

I never knew how useful the plasma pistol was in Halo CE till I watched my friend use it to complete legendary lol

[winter flame]

the beauty of CE is the PVE skill curve

such a satisfying game to get good at

the library in particular will go from being ur most hated mission to actually pretty fun

[candid solar]

Legendary Library is fun.

[indigo lotus]

The blotshot aka the pocket shotgun was your new best weapon and also your worst enemy. I remember players coming out hiding and score a cheap kill from it.

[candid solar]

I never considered it much of an issue.

[winter flame]

its kinda like armour lock in that they'll get you with it once, then you know you're dealing with one of those players and you work around it

both are bad for match pacing tho

being forced not to play aggressively, not because ur opponent is good, but because they can pull a reserve uno card on you for doing so pretty much

[indigo lotus]

It is a issue at the start, but after a few trial and error you start planning work around and counter measures.

[candid solar]

A lot of the time you can solve LOS issues with nades.

I know I caught more than one Boltshotter with a grenade or two around a corner after faking idiotic complacency.

Woe, skinny T-51 be upon yee

[obsidian wyvern]

rocket and wall combo undefeated

[candid solar]

Frogge...

[hasty zinc]

are these your frogs trench?

[candid solar]

Naw

I can't have frogs. Too expensive. I live vicariously through Japanese frogposting accounts.

[hasty zinc]

can't you scoop some up for free from a pond?

[candid solar]

Not for another month I think

[delicate river]

Whatr some good midrange capture cards

[stray tartan]

Whats a good thing about Halo 5

[wheat ridge]

Multiplayer

[delicate river]

That eventually everything in the universe is eaten up by black holes

[livid oyster]

I don’t think that’s actually true

If you were being serious

[winter flame]

ezcap's cam link clone is probs the one to get

[hasty zinc]

heat death of the universe is more likely than black holes swallowing everything

[delicate river]

Should i go for rly low range ones? Amazon flooded w em

[candid solar]

Every single playable campaign spartan has unique armor meant to exemplify their personality, interests, role, and history, and each has a custom HUD, weapon set, and fully voiced interaction options for everything in the game that they can interact with.

[livid oyster]

Much more likely. I don’t think I’ve seen a single piece of evidence/simulation where a black hole devours everything, not even close

[hasty zinc]

yeah that's the first time I've ever heard that lol

[winter flame]

for 30fps 1080p sure. i never got one but when i looked the ezcap cam link looked best for 60fps

[bronze breach]

Lol infinite actually crashed my PC

[delicate river]

There are many cheap chinese (sus) and indian ( ok ig) brands that offer 4k 60 for less than 10 dollars

[bronze breach]

Kernel check failure

[floral pollen]

I've seen a render of the timeline of the universe and it shows an "age of black holes" a looonnnggg time in the future

I'll see if I can find it bc it is actually interesting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD4izuDMUQA

[winter flame]

they mean they can recieve 4k, they wont record 4k 60

[delicate river]

Ohh

[winter flame]

intentionally misleading marketing

[bronze breach]

As always

[delicate river]

Im tryna record x360 footage so ig it dont matter

[winter flame]

i would go for the ezcap myself

maybe there's good cheap options for 1080p60 since i last checked though

[delicate river]

@winter flame What is the diff in graphics quality between using a hdmi and a red white yellow cables on an x360

[winter flame]

well that's 1080p vs 480i lol, so huge

most 360 games are around 600p-720p, butt even so you really dont want 480i

[delicate river]

Pls elaborate the cables give u 480 and the hdmi is 720 1080 right?

[winter flame]

they give you 480i, which is not even as good as 480p

you need component or HDMI for 480p, 720p or 1080p

[delicate river]

Ok

[winter flame]

regardless though if a capture card can't do 1080p 60fps, it's probably not very good

[delicate river]

Coukd u send a pictire of component

Is that the big blue thing? Cable?

[livid oyster]

I’ll definitely give that a good watch. But even in that age they just couldn’t devour everything. The known universe is just too large and expands faster than anything can keep up with

[winter flame]

but i mean hdmi is probably cheaper at this point

[delicate river]

This is component?

[floral pollen]

yea, yea
I think its not at the end like I thought, but there is an age of black holes at some bajillion years in the future

[cedar turret]

Now do rf and that one where you have to screw the u shaped connectors to the back of your tv

[winter flame]

yeah like i said i'd just go for the ezcap cam link clone, or look up reviews for a cheaper hdmi capture card that can do 1080p60

[delicate river]

Mmk

[livid oyster]

That kind of stuff is crazy to imagine. Makes me wish I could live longer to witness these events

[floral pollen]

same tbh

[winter flame]

you can actually get component cables that screw in for optimal connection 😄

[cedar turret]

I’m talking about the ones where you had to take a screwdriver and undo a screw. Put the u shaped connector under it and then tighten it back down

[winter flame]

i feel like that wasn't a thing here but maybe im a zoomer after all

[obsidian wyvern]

the blue ones recon

wait no nvm

[livid oyster]

Even if I could just see how life on earth will shape in the next 1,000 years. But I’ll just enjoy what I got I suppose

[cedar turret]

These are the adapters

[livid oyster]

Though in 1,000 years humans will probably be on their way out

[candid tusk]

We will endure.

[cedar turret]

That’s rf to ancient tech

[fleet imp]

Wsp haloers.

[winter flame]

well we have the screw connector for satellite and internet coxial, but idk about connecting it to the TV like that lol

[fleet imp]

Lol

[cedar turret]

It’s a thing look it up

[fleet imp]

I'm in mobile

[cedar turret]

Older than I am and that says something these days

[livid oyster]

The only sure thing to endure are horseshoe crabs, those guys have lived through 4 of the 5 mass extinctions. And they weren’t around for the first one

[fleet imp]

Gonna listen to music.

[obsidian wyvern]

I dislike those a lot

[winter flame]

i dont think it was ever a thing here cause our terrestrial TV doesn't use screw coaxial

[cedar turret]

It’s not rf or coax. It was from before that. Originally to hook up to antennae and stuff like the odyssey

[winter flame]

the odyssey

[hasty zinc]

make sure to set the TV to channel 3 so you can play nintendo

[winter flame]

sounds mythical

[cedar turret]

I have one in my attic I bought at a yard sale

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnavox_Odyssey

[winter flame]

yeah i accept im a zoomer now

[livid oyster]

I’m gonna complain about gen alphas before it starts getting cool

[winter flame]

i say we leave them alone until they start calling the 360 "retro"

[rapid pecan]

hi

[elfin glacier]

man, i love vintage consoles like the Xbox One

[livid oyster]

That’s it, you’ve done it now

[elfin glacier]

it's always cool to see what they did ages ago and how far we've come

[hasty zinc]

when are we going to get the 50 games in one Xbox plugin tv consoles

[cedar turret]

It’s called gamepass

[elfin glacier]

tbh stick a big enough hard drive into an xbone and it'd probably hold a lot more than 50

[obsidian wyvern]

dozen isn't wrong

[elfin glacier]

hello early dinf

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah what was that earlier

[cedar turret]

You forgot the, ‘ever’

[obsidian wyvern]

maybe

[livid oyster]

Anyone think settling on mars is an achievable thing? If so I wonder what generation will do it

[elfin glacier]

what was what

[cedar turret]

If we were capable of it, we wouldn’t actually need to

[winter flame]

honestly i think its a waste of time settling mars until we can actually return

[livid oyster]

Fair point. But humans will do it just cause, like the invention of peeps

Nothing good has ever come from peeps and here they are

[winter flame]

im not volunteering to live in Eden project like bubbles

can experience that here

I keep forgetting that when I respond to hermit

How loud would that bubble wrap be if you popped it

[granite sky]

i really do not like that stephen king book about the bubble city

[candid tusk]

The idea or the writing.

[granite sky]

writing i got so angry at it. the idea is cool

[candid tusk]

Fair. The Simpson's version was better.

[livid oyster]

I definitely ain’t living in a damn bubble. I’d rather live out my last days in a metro like world

I'd be the bestest damn bubble blowing Mars citizen you could ask for.

i remember reading, wanting the story to advance and address the monumental stuff that was happening but there were chapters of this annoying, delusional, awful lazy sheriff rambling about how he was a bully and hated people in the town. i gave up on the book

[livid oyster]

All bubble blowing babies will be beaten senseless by every able bodied patron in the bar

[candid solar]

I'm a bubble blowing bird, thanks.

[obsidian wyvern]

probably the coolest place I've been to in this country lol

[winter flame]

the coolest thing in England is bubbles to simulate being in climates that are not England 🤣

but nah it is pretty cool

[livid oyster]

Does England even have a wilderness? I imagine everyone is shoulder to shoulder on that island

[winter flame]

there's a few historic woodlands and restored upland plains

probably gonna rewild more upland areas cause peat bogs are pretty major carbon sinks

its mostly just farmland tho, where i live there's a lot of managed forests

[candid tusk]

Best keep yourself outta da King's Wood.

[winter flame]

UK and the Low Countries don't really let urban areas sprawl so its more countryside then you'd probably think

[obsidian wyvern]

the bar is low here ngl

[winter flame]

u guys got stonehenge down south

u dont like big stones eh?

[obsidian wyvern]

I actually haven't been, mainly because I don't care about them enough to pay a ton

it's around 100 jfc

[winter flame]

you can just drive past

the road is like right next to it... for now

[obsidian wyvern]

it's a 2 hour drive for a drive by lol. bleh

[bronze breach]

I hope I snag this internal role at my supermarket job lol

[lapis ivy]

Well you never know if someone ends up fishing up an ammonite and puts it in the living fossil list

[livid oyster]

My statement was kind of tongue in cheek. But yeah, that would be interesting if that were to happen

[obsidian wyvern]

45 second FFA wait, been here 5 mins 😔

[lapis ivy]

I'm fascinated with prehistoric animals the ceolacanth was one of those discovered

God throws a rock at these creatures and some survived

[livid oyster]

I had to look that up, that’s pretty cool

[exotic bramble]

Hello

[livid oyster]

Life finds a way

[lapis ivy]

My favorite of creatures is the sarcosuchus

And crocodiles are still around fascinating enough that the horseshoe crab bleeds blue

[obsidian wyvern]

what elites evolved from

[livid oyster]

I find dolphins and whales pretty fascinating. Their ancestors came from the sea(like everything else) and then evolved to go back into the sea

[lapis ivy]

I nearly have every documentary DVD in my shelf but I don't remember what the first whale was called but at least the basilosaurus was popular among paleontology

Some even found fossils underneath the remains of Noah's ark YouTube was my source of documentaries at first

[floral pollen]

Covenant tower energy bubble moment

[lapis ivy]

I like the covenant stuff in forge infinite brings a lot of good memories from halo 5@floral pollen

[floral pollen]

haven't actually messed around with it yet

[livid oyster]

The images of that whale are pretty fearsome. And I don’t think Noah’s ark is a confirmed thing

[lapis ivy]

Only a theory from that formation in the Mount in Turkey since it was thousands of years and rotted away

There aren't many documentaries on that except the one from Wyatt's claim

[remote jungle]

yo

[lapis ivy]

I don't remember the name of that guy from naked archeologies but he reminds me of Jeff goldblum lol

[remote jungle]

what should i do with my $20 i got

buy cosmetics or wait for MCC to go down to $10

[faint mantle]

Next sale is estimated to be in late April

[muted plaza]

next steam sale is more than 2 months away

[faint mantle]

SteamDB's historical price data disagrees

[muted plaza]

no, the next steam sale is in 2 months, summer sale

im not talking about mcc specifically

[lapis ivy]

I think MCC was 10$ but I already own the game from the digital game that came with my first Xbox one

[muted plaza]

yeah its 10 on sale

[hard crane]

Lmaoooo.

Turns out Bethesda are consistent with their IP

[remote jungle]

Is there a way for me to use the halo infinite campaign that i bought on xbox on steam?

[hard crane]

No, but you can't use it from the windows store

[graceful inlet]

Good night Spartans!
(and our marines 🫂)

[hasty zinc]

I don't get it

the person is just downloading the episode instead of streaming it

[hard crane]

some people are more comfortable with downloading episodes to their devices, the joke is about a patch for a show

[hasty zinc]

I know the joke is about a patch but it just doesn't make sense

idk

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah it wasn't great lol

[hasty zinc]

it's not like they have to download it to watch the show

people in the comments are even worse lmao

[cedar turret]

you wanna hear my eye patch joke?

You won't see it coming

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't even understand what I'm looking at

[floral pollen]

that looks like shotgun pellets through a controller

[cedar turret]

looks like a dog chewed on it

[floral pollen]

or that

[lapis ivy]

If you look at the teeth fossil of that whale the fearser it is Noah's ark hasn't been proven to be found confirmed according to Wyatt's finding in Mount arrarat or however you spell it yet 4000 years from now it would've rotted away completely leaving less or no trace both paleontology and archeology is fascinating although they're separate fields

[cedar turret]

called it

[lapis ivy]

Like a puppy chewed it most likely

[faint mantle]

Must've been a small breed or a puppy, those teeth are incredibly small

[lapis ivy]

Still sharp

They do that when they're teething at a young age and can be destructive

Not sure about ferrets though

[delicate river]

Hello gentlemen

[hasty zinc]

sunday comedy

[faint mantle]

That's why it's also good to get them toys with different textures, it's their way of learning about the world

And I think it's adorable

[delicate river]

Where can i physically buy a used ps4 in the united States im not frm thr

[candid solar]

Bait used to be believable

[hasty zinc]

gamestop?

[delicate river]

Ive never been to or seen a gamestop

[hasty zinc]

you asked where to buy one lol

[delicate river]

So pls guidance

[hasty zinc]

google gamestops near you

[lapis ivy]

Ferrets don't bite objects do they?

[delicate river]

Im going to the us in a week

[hasty zinc]

the internet is a powerful tool

[delicate river]

The jnternet is for smelly losers

[candid solar]

www.ebay.com

[hasty zinc]

they said physically

[candid solar]

It'll show up physically, eventually

[hasty zinc]

gamestop or craigslist

[delicate river]

Nah ebay good too but id like to teardown and check the fan and paste n stuff on the console

[hasty zinc]

gamestop wont let you do that in store

[delicate river]

Unless they dint allow that at gaestop

[hasty zinc]

you will have to buy, take home, look and then maybe return if you don't like

depends on their policy for returns

[delicate river]

Oh ok

[lapis ivy]

Buy it new or a PlayStation 5 it's backwards compatible with PlayStation 4 games but don't trade anything lol

[delicate river]

I just want to play bb

Wdym trade like u mean in store credit/vouchers?

[cedar turret]

how do yu think they eat?

[lapis ivy]

Yeah but they don't give a good credit sum except 94 bucks or a 100 bucks in credit depending on the consoles and conditions they're in the only thing I purchase st GameStop is brand new consoles and games 94 bucks or 100 isn't worth the original cost you bought the console for 500 bucks

Cat food or meat

I think that's what ferrets eat

[hasty zinc]

wild ferrets get cat food from the grocery store obvs

[cedar turret]

cat food and meat are objects

Also they make ferret pellets

[lapis ivy]

I meant wires and stuff

[cedar turret]

They're rodents. (not technically, but effectively)

[hasty zinc]

and rodents love chewing through wires

[cedar turret]

yes. So do dogs. And my cat

I wanted a ferret when I was young.

[lapis ivy]

I hear they're playful

[cedar turret]

yeah, but I wanted a trained one that could fetch things and bite people's eyes

[fossil skiff]

biting people’s eyes seems a little…out there

[cedar turret]

I built a trebuchet like device that slung circular saw blades hard enough to get stuck in soft wood trees. And I played tag with an alligator.

I never claimed to be a normal child.

[lapis ivy]

I hear they steal your socks and other stuff and collect it in their nest

That's the ferret thing

Idk I just never liked the policy of GameStop trade

[candid solar]

I just watched lots of surgery videos

[lapis ivy]

Ouch

And I watched a lot of coyote Peterson's videos

[cedar turret]

have you tried making your own?

Speaking of policy Walmart only has 30 day return for electronics and I guess 15 day return for games and movies

[fossil skiff]

he'll get it back

[mystic marsh]

So, hello there.

I managed to watch 2 out of the 3 movies in the Star Wars OG Triology.

My favourite so far is ESB.

It is pretty depressing and it has Yoda in it.

[hard crane]

I remember you were talking about watching them, good to see you following on it

[mystic marsh]

Either today or tomorrow I'll be able to finish the OG Triology, with Return of the Jedi.

And just maybe, I'll watch the Prequel triology later.

Not sure if I'll do it for the prequel, but I am sure that I'll finish the classic triology.

[amber mirage]

I say watch the prequels. What do you have to lose?

[mystic marsh]

What if I don't really like them?

[amber mirage]

Then you don't like them

[mystic marsh]

I guess I will anyway, I was the same person who liked Skywalker Ascension.

[amber mirage]

No way to know without watching them

[fickle drift]

We’re getting matching t-shirts

[digital scaffold]

I just activated a boost and than it said that the severs shut down 💀

[hasty zinc]

Inheri-wear

[rustic ridge]

Shoutout to Halo Forward Unto Dawn

It’s been a while since anyone cared about it

[candid solar]

FuD got hella glazed when the show came out.

[rustic ridge]

"Lasky origin story" feels like such a horrible phrase, but honestly it kinda worked out

Chief and the Covenant didn't even have that much screen time

Very strange show all around lol

"Spartan Locke origin story" is when Halo media started going MCU mode

[candid solar]

That's also a goofy as hell statement for different reasons.

... And some of the same ones.

I swear, COVID just took a car battery to people's perception of when things came out and just never took the clamps off.

Next you'll tell me Halo's never been a multimedia franchise until 343i alone pushed it and that multimedia franchises don't make any money at all.

[fickle drift]

Halo is a book series with games attached

[safe dawn]

;'-'

Your playing into his hands

[obsidian wyvern]

h8 is right

[hasty zinc]

yep, book came first

[fickle drift]

I say that having not read a single book in the franchise lol

[amber mirage]

I wish I knew how to read

[timber flint]

TFoR was an incredible stand-alone book ruined by an awful half-baked video game tie-in series

[candid solar]

Looking at Halo too closely makes any of its narratives fall apart like cheese paper on the surface of mercury, so.

[obsidian wyvern]

ok I'm actually gonna start reading again, what's the recommended order

[candid solar]

Pick a random book every single time.

[obsidian wyvern]

https://www.halopedia.org/Halo_novels
guessing this one but I haven't ever seen ppl mention it

[obsidian wyvern]

that's kinda how i went about the first 3 lol

[candid solar]

I think CIA put out a proper list?

[obsidian wyvern]

doesn't cia edit halopedia

[amber mirage]

There's one on Waypoint that groups the books by iinterest

[candid solar]

Everyone only ever usually reads like, the first 2-3 books, and it's always when they were still in school.

[obsidian wyvern]

oh yeah it's legit his status lol

[candid solar]

Like

[obsidian wyvern]

I'll check this

[amber mirage]

https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/official-halo-book-guide

[candid solar]

Every time I ever find out what book someone's read from Halo (Because there is no way in hell I would ever actually ask someone what they know about Halo IRL) it's always Fall of Reach, First Strike, Ghosts of Onyx, or Contact Harvest.

For whatever reason it's usually Ghosts of Onyx.

[hard crane]

The only Halo related book im gonna read is an artbook

[obsidian wyvern]

probably because you only ever hear good things about those books

[elfin glacier]

the first halo book I've read was the flood

[rare cedar]

Have a tissue ready when reading Ghosts of Onyx

[elfin glacier]

i got it at a garage sale

[safe dawn]

Its not that bad

[obsidian wyvern]

my first was shadows of reach because someone said they found noble 6 alive in a cave in that book, I wasn't aware of the joke/belief at that time LOL

[fossil skiff]

I was summoned by ghosts of onyx mention

[candid solar]

That and most adults became illiterate around 18 years after their birth, so thus never read a book ever again-only retaining enough of a grasp of the English lexicon to serve as a form of self-replicating infohazard in the form of poorly formulated and understood discussions on the internet.

[amber mirage]

Honestly, it would be kinda of interesting to see how someone who was introduced to Halo from the books thinks after trying out the games.

[obsidian wyvern]

instant problems with reach

[amber mirage]

That was how Reach went

[fossil skiff]

Instantly?

[amber mirage]

Instantly

[obsidian wyvern]

lol

[fossil skiff]

[candid solar]

I had more of an experience with the books than the games starting out because I technically was never actually supposed to play the games.

[obsidian wyvern]

my guess is that you would've been happier that way

[candid solar]

Imagine my surprise when Halo had less gore than the beach scene of Saving Private Ryan.

[hard crane]

Being happy and being a Halo fan aren't things that go hand by hand

[fossil skiff]

boot up CE with bottle of root beer, life good

[candid solar]

There's a reason I'm gradually leaving a lot of my Halo and gaming servers in general that aren't useful to me.

... That and one other reason.

[obsidian wyvern]

I was happy as a 3 year old back when 3 came out 😔

[hard crane]

Trench is experiencing adulthood, damn

[candid solar]

Oh, I already did that whole clown show, not a big deal.

[rare cedar]

You were 3?

[fossil skiff]

dang

[hard crane]

were you happy as a war back when Halo Wars came out

[amber mirage]

Rev was actually in diapers when he joined this server

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah I started at 3 😤
16 years later and I still suck at the game

[candid solar]

Old.

[hard crane]

I can totally imagine the afterlife is full with people who genuinely still suck at Halo

[obsidian wyvern]

this was supposed to be a secret ffs

[candid solar]

If you aren't already a Grandmaster at your choice of videogame by the time you're out of the maternity ward, you might as well instantly explode and die.

[livid oyster]

Was he 1 or 85?

[viral dune]

I remember it was just a few months ago when he would still struggle to form complete sentences, he grew up so fast

[candid solar]

Otherwise you're overstaying your welcome

[rare cedar]

I was a senior in high school when 3 came out

[fossil skiff]

dynf

[obsidian wyvern]

sol

[viral dune]

@fossil skiff sol

[rare cedar]

Our school morning news show had “Happy Halo 3 Day” on it before it started

[candid solar]

I don't want to think about how old I was, but at least I know I was younger than FootedPanda.

[fossil skiff]

the fact that my phone autocorrects to that says a lot

[obsidian wyvern]

LOL

[obsidian wyvern]

I saw you typing in chat and knew you were gonna throw shade smh

[hard crane]

I kinda envy people who were "adult enough" (or cared about Halo) when the old games came out, must have been cool to see classic launches in front of your eyes

[rare cedar]

It was a sight to remember

Midnight launches

[hard crane]

The only gaming-related launch I remember actively being part it is the 3DS lol.

[rare cedar]

[livid oyster]

I remember many sleepless nights playing halo 3. Those custom games were peak entertainment

[viral dune]

I really love making fun of you sometimes

[hard crane]

oh, I also remember Titanfall 2 coming out when I think about it.
