I would have to download that dirty app to see the post 😭

[rapid summit]

That doesn’t look like the same one

[errant canopy]

What happened to the woman btw?

[fickle drift]

I got mouse and keyboard today

[rapid summit]

https://youtu.be/Mu-eK72ioDk?si=5VGZr0VS5YN7Y8nZ

[fickle drift]

Just using the regular layout that was extremely fun but I see that it does not turn as fast

So I see the dilemma between mouse and controller

[rapid summit]

Are these robots fake?

[fickle drift]

I'm still very new so my thoughts really don't matter

[signal wedge]

Remote controlled robots... Hmm that can be used for something else...

Like WAR

[rapid summit]

We’re probably far off but eventually Elon definitely wants it to be a thing

[fickle drift]

OMG no help

[rapid summit]

I’m too much of a bot to learn mnk been controller my whole life

Mouse is cool for aiming but I can’t stand not being able to move with joysticks

[errant canopy]

“Baby sit your kids..” 💀 terrorism might not be a huge threat but if some terrorist group decided to hack one of those things while they were baby sitting my child that would be bad. 🙌

Like idk how it receives or transmits data but if that thing is connected to any network other than itself I would not buy it personally

[rapid summit]

Yeah no I’d never do that either robots just never seem like a good idea lol

[north echo]

Will I get banned if I give my honest opinion on the dev team

[rapid summit]

I was wondering that too

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[candid solar]

Ah, you mean robot fursuits.

Cause he didn't actually make robots and he didn't 'make' anything. They were people wearing costumes, and he just throws his name on crap.

[rapid summit]

Only thing I wanna say is I saw one dude talk about not wanting to work on cod because he doesn’t like guns but halo bridges the gap because it’s sci fi. And honestly that sounds cooked working on a first person shooter if you don’t like guns

[pliant hatch]

I doubt we'll ever be an I robot world especially if elon is trying to make it.

[rapid summit]

No it’s just being a bot I don’t think his sexuality effects how he thinks the media does that

[rapid summit]

Hopefully lol

[north echo]

It's definitely his sexuality lol he's just a soft ah mf

[candid solar]

You don't know any gay people, do you.

[north echo]

Yes and they're all weird asf

[north echo]

No that's how I genuinely feel lol

[candid solar]

Anyways, I know plenty of gay people who aren't soft and don't hate guns. Hell, I outshoot most of my coworkers.

It's purely a personal thing.

Oop, and they got zapped.

And that's two.

Anyways, I went 3-3 against Mint Blitz the other day, so that was kinda funny.

[signal wedge]

who won

[stoic current]

Ok how do I get high rank? I just started playing?

[candid solar]

His team won, I just killed him for every time he killed me.

The one time we had a straight duel I eked out a tie.

[pliant hatch]

win games, but if you just started playing it will take a while unless you get hard carried. I'd do social first so you can learn the game.

[pliant hatch]

I used to match him in h5 btb and would always try to kill him so he couldn't get clips, lol. I remember he kept trying to do a soda can super bounce glitch, but I would always kill him in the air and he ended up quitting.

jokes on you, I'm completely broke

in the words of the immortal bard Aloe Blacc, "I need a dollar"

[severe locust]

care to elaborate?

[glossy wind]

on what part

the nationsim, the background or the task itself

[severe locust]

More on what im going to do

and the nationsim bit

[faint mantle]

Take it to DMs folks

If you haven't already

[empty yarrow]

I sorta realized something.

An engine is a developer's identity.

Halo's getting rid of its identity switching to Unreal.

It's sharing it with everybody else's. Halo deserves better than that.

[safe dawn]

you're overthinking it

by a lot

[empty yarrow]

If that's what you wanna call it.

[safe dawn]

i understand where you're coming from, but you are severely overthinking how much the engine means to the game

[empty yarrow]

To each their own.

[safe dawn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sterile grotto]

They seem to be putting the main focus on graphics rather than gameplay, when they announced the studio change I only ever heard them mention graphics and nothing regarding gameplay

[empty yarrow]

Sounds superficial.

[sterile grotto]

I'm honestly doubting the next Halo game(s) will be anything special, they have the same managers there that worked at 343

[empty yarrow]

"Ahahah, it's Unreal now, look at how shiny it is."

[sterile grotto]

And Halo Studios is literally just 343 with a different name, nothing has changed

[empty yarrow]

I believe in redemption. I just don't think Unreal is redeeming at all.

The end to Halo's perfect record of keeping it in-house.

[sterile grotto]

Do you really think they're worth giving another shot? It's literally the same people working on it

[empty yarrow]

Try until they get it right. xd

They did with Infinite, I think. Minus the sprint.

A 90% is still an A.

[sterile grotto]

Infinite was horrible

[empty yarrow]

You win some, you lose some.

[faint mantle]

Not really. 343 Industries existed from Halo 4 through half of Infinite under Bonnie Ross's leadership. Pierre Hinze is now in charge and his vision is a lot different. The change of brand is a way to go past that.

[sterile grotto]

There was no weapons, physics were horrible, no flood, story was mediocre at best, lack of blood and gore, forced sociopolitics

It's just slop

[empty yarrow]

The artstyle was nice, at least.

[sterile grotto]

Overpriced aesthetics

[empty yarrow]

Vote with your wallet. Tell 343 you like CE, 2 and 3's artstyle.

That's what they went for.

[sterile grotto]

I don't care about how the game looks I care about content, gameplay, story, music

[empty yarrow]

I don't think the hype around Infinite lasted that long, and any hype around an Unreal Halo would be unwarranted.

[faint mantle]

From the reveal at HCS, they mentioned that having to be both a game developer (Halo) and a tech company (Slipspace Engine) wasn't allowing them to get things done in time. You can see it as an identity, but the facts are the facts. Having an in-house game engine slowed them down on delivery and Unreal is the solution, as it's what most game devs learn first how to use.

[sterile grotto]

If infinite had more weapons, flood, and lowered price on cosmetics then it would've been perfect

[faint mantle]

Frankly I don't see the logic between complaining about content and also not wanting Unreal to be a thing

[candid solar]

What would the flood have improved

[sterile grotto]

Gameplay and story, I can't take the 'Endless' seriously, just feels like another generic alien

[candid solar]

Okay, how would the flood be better

[empty yarrow]

It can prove difficult, but Id Software's already done their homework. 343 could use Id Tech.
Halo was sort've inspired by Doom afterall, it'd come full circle using its engine.

[candid solar]

Halo was inspired by a lot of games.

[empty yarrow]

And Doom.

[candid solar]

It came out after doomclone was no longer standard nomenclature.

It has more UT/GE DNA.

Actually, a lot of Unreal DNA

Like, a staggering amount of it

[sterile grotto]

Flood would've changed the dynamic of how you play, having to get used to the rush mechanics they use, also would've made more sense to the lore since Zeta Halo was known to have experiments with the flood

[empty yarrow]

I don't see how aside from the detail textures.

[candid solar]

Have you played the original Unreal?

[empty yarrow]

Mhm.

It's a masterpiece. Doesn't mean I want to play everything in the same engine as it.

[sterile grotto]

The endless is literally just one boss that summons a bunch of enemies, it's literally just slop

[empty yarrow]

Let alone Halo.

[sterile grotto]

Lol

[cinder trench]

Besides if your gonna get mad every little thing you might as well just block it out and, hell. Go play some halo for Christ sake instead of argue ing in its server

[candid solar]

Anyways, I was typing out a list of similarities between the original Unreal and Halo CE and responding to the conversation while going back to it between messages.

[sterile grotto]

Only good thing in Halo Infinite was forge

[candid solar]

Because... I actually make use of the copy/paste feature.

[cinder trench]

Oh stop it, the campaign was good but they could have done more with it. Multiplayer is just fine.

[sterile grotto]

Campaign was boring I barely remember any of it

It all felt the same

[cinder trench]

The elite boss at the end (not the torture one) was badasss asf

[sterile grotto]

The open world sucked

[cinder trench]

Eh open world coulda been better if they made it so it’s your own story

Instead of chiefs. But then it wouldn’t really be halo

His halo 5 was awful.

Wasn’t even his game at that point

[candid solar]

The famously chief-centric stories

[cinder trench]

Spartan strike sucked, but you got a point

[sterile grotto]

Even if it was like Skyrim it still would've sucked, only 1 biome, no hostile wildlife, no flood, no ODST, marines felt fake like they don't really see the situation they're really in like they did in older Halo games

[candid solar]

Nah, Halo's twinsticks were solid as hell.

They sucked on tablet but on PC it's like lobster and melted butter.

[cinder trench]

There were ODST they were just waterd tf down

[candid solar]

... No there weren't?

[sterile grotto]

Where were the ODSTs?

[candid solar]

ODSTs were only offscreen.

[cinder trench]

Odst were there

[candid solar]

Offscreen, unseen, only mentioned in one audio log.

[sterile grotto]

Another issue, lots of stuff was off screen for Halo Infinite

[cinder trench]

True

[sterile grotto]

Slopfest

[scenic latch]

If you're going to just say stuff sucked but not going to offer any context about it then your opinion is only going to come off as some basic unoriginal opinion you got off a Halotuber

[pliant hatch]

they have slopfest. such insight

[candid solar]

You... Really need to work on your ability to deliver criticism.

[sterile grotto]

Ok then, the open world was literally just one biome with most of the structures not even being explorable, the trailer showed multiple biomes for infinite but never actually delivered anything, there was no interesting wildlife and no points of interests

[cinder trench]

Keyboard warriors (replying to this just means the rage bait worked)

[scenic latch]

What structures did you want? We can go inside the comms towers, Banished cannons...

[sterile grotto]

Hard to believe people actually try this hard to defend 343

[scenic latch]

I couldn't care less about who handles 343 these days, but like, you ain't helping your case bro

[sterile grotto]

They showed a big ship in the gameplay reveal, you go inside and it's only like one hallway, there's multiple structures like another crashed ship you can't even enter

[sterile grotto]

The caves were just ugly imo

[scenic latch]

The Reverie? You can totally go in there

[candid solar]

I guess I imagined the entire warship gabrakahoweveryouspellit.

[sterile grotto]

Yeah but it's only like a hallway

I also got stuck there and clipped through the map

[scenic latch]

Even though it mostly contained HW2 structures

[sterile grotto]

Wonderful gameplay

[scenic latch]

Skill issue

[cinder trench]

Skill issue

[candid solar]

There's really not a lot of parity between the Banished aesthetic in HW2 and HI. Similar vibes, not a lot of actual component similarities.

Infinite's Banished rely more heavily on weird stacks of boxier structures.

[scenic latch]

I get that, but the Brute at the PA still said the names of Banished buildings from that game.

[sterile grotto]

Infinite's Banished didn't feel brutish enough

[cinder trench]

I liked the stealth elite boss. A break from the brutes

[candid solar]

Ah. Yes. Thank you, google. When I look up banished structures HW2, I love seeing exclusively Halo Infinite buildings.

[scenic latch]

You know what I mean. I said building names.

[candid solar]

You say this, my mind goes to actual design philosophy, not... Names of things that don't get seen.

It is actually kinda cool that the Banished in Infinite are actually intend on long term stays on the ring. They're literally colonizing it.

[scenic latch]

Your mind and mine don't think the same 🙂

[candid solar]

I don't get how you went to names when they aren't even something you actually see.

Whatever.

[scenic latch]

I... paid attention to the level?

[candid solar]

Huh. Weird. That's usually my card when Halo 5 comes up. I paid attention in Infinite too, I just didn't think to include the mentioning of things I can't see and never will see outside of usermade prefabs as a counted visual showing of a building structure.

[scenic latch]

There's an Infinite 2 already?!

[rare cedar]

Please remember if you’re going to post criticism, ensure it’s the constructive type.

[cinder trench]

Can you give an example of a building name?

[candid solar]

"Raid Camp"

[scenic latch]

"Prepare Power Extractor ### for deployment"

The lines when you're waiting for the elevator

[cinder trench]

Well no duh that’s obvious

[candid solar]

But yeah, Halo Wars 2 Banished structures looked more ramshackle and on-site fabricated out of rough-hewn materials.

Halo Infinite Banished structures look more template-built, mass-produced for quantity over quality.

[signal wedge]

anyone explain why there is a crashed ship ona banished map with a huge laser cutting nothing

[candid solar]

Which, I suppose that does fit the whole Genghis Khan-esque "Doing warfare the smart way, not the brutal unthinking way" thing that Atriox has all around him.

[cinder trench]

I couldn’t tell ya

[candid solar]

If the Spartans weren't fighting in a sandbox version of the structure, the facility's purpose is melting down UNSC starship scrap and repurposing it into metal for Banished production.

So you'd see grunts, brutes, etc taking ships apart.

[cinder trench]

They re did the grunts so well

[signal wedge]

oh, well I've gotten killed by that laser beam before

[candid solar]

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

Pretty good explanation of what's happening in that multiplayer map.

[pliant hatch]

are you talking about the mining laser or something else?

[candid solar]

It's not a bad characterization for why the Banished are so successful as of Infinite, but it also feels kind of... Unearned, after Wars 2's presentation of them being a largely front-decentralized, infighting rabble with a dozen objectives that don't align at any time.

There's shadows of it in Shadows of Reach, with the organization being so uniform so as to have an entire regimentish unit of Brutes operating identically and kitted nearly the same, but Infinite had to sacrifice against that structure to make a workable "Classic Halo" experience.

[signal wedge]

idk what that is but you have to cross a ravine of lava and there is a laser vutting ttrough it

[meager linden]

That map is called "Breaker"

[pliant hatch]

oh, you meant mp.

trenchbird already pointed it out, but it's for cutting ships into smaller pieces.

or whatever they're cutting.

[candid solar]

I'd say that they should emphasize that they're... Doing that.

But I imagine explaining a material economy would cause most Halo fan's brains to leak out their ears.

[signal wedge]

Oh damn it's a Mulsane frigate

[faint mantle]

Imagine talking about Venezia to bungo fans

[candid solar]

Then again, Banished operate like some sort of bizarre anarcho-socialist(?) meritocracy with a heavy bent towards killing people.

[signal wedge]

Those new ships fall like it's nothing, and they are the only ships with those fancy brightlance lasers

[sterile grotto]

I think a mix of both would be perfect, also wish they would resemble more of a covenant aesthetic too to show they stole lots of their technology

[candid solar]

I think I'm breaking into hives thinking about it, Merty.

[faint mantle]

[candid solar]

They do borrow a ton from H3 Brute aesthetics.

Certainly more than anyone gives them credit for.

That said-if I had one major aesthetic criticism of Halo Infinite, it's that every faction looks way too clean. Which is a complaint done to death, sure, but one with some things that would make sense. There's already some minor variance visible.

[signal wedge]

Maybe it's an engine problem

[candid solar]

The UNSC should've looked dirtier, more hard-fought. Mixed uniforms, hard to tell if you're fighting alongside a sailor, marine, soldier, or airman; A mix of Halo CE, 2, 3, Reach, and Reclaimer kit.

[signal wedge]

Shirtless marine when

[candid solar]

A guy wearing a Navy uniform but festooned with armor from 3 different branches, mismatched and dirt-covered.

[meager linden]

Welp
Time to grind onyx major 2
See you soon

For what i am spending my life

[candid solar]

the Banished should've been more 'brutish', festooned with skulls and trophies. Marine skull necklaces, the odd piece of Spartan armor, the odd chestplate on a gauntlet.

[signal wedge]

Id imagine if we ever saw the Spartans from Rubicon Protocol in Infinite 2 they will look like fresh Spartans with a few dirt marks

[faint mantle]

Didn't you hear? Only the Hand of Atriox is allowed to have ornaments

[candid solar]

Well, Kovan is no longer wearing her MJOLNIR.

[candid solar]

Apparently only one guy, at that.

[signal wedge]

Like we have detailed damage report of Stone's armor and in the game there doesn't seem much damage

[candid solar]

Tovarus doesn't actually wear any trophies.

[meager linden]

Wrong replying

[candid solar]

I mean, the brute in the same room as her is supposedly disemboweled.

And every corpse in that room has been there long enough to rot.

[signal wedge]

It's the rating fr. Can't have skeletons or rotting corpses

[dusk sigil]

Anyone want to play halo wars

On Xbox one

[meager linden]

I guess I'm not fully awake yet

[dusk sigil]

I’ve got the game but I can’t find matches

[candid solar]

I'll be honest, I don't actually dislike the concept of a gorier, M-rated Halo, I just hate how people tend to puppet it like it is significant to how Halo functions in terms of new game versus old game.

[dusk sigil]

do I need to get the definitive edition

[candid solar]

Older Halo didn't take advantage of its rating enough to really justify the argument.

[pliant hatch]

closest we got the that was the captured marines in infinite

[candid solar]

Yes, a uh... T-shirt really shows me how much that poor guy suffered to survive.

[dusk sigil]

Yo can someone answer

How do I find a game in halo wars

[signal wedge]

Meanwhile in the books captured marines and UNSC personnel were being tortured to death

[candid solar]

Good luck finding one.

[dusk sigil]

Apparently I need the definitive edition

[candid solar]

The one really stupid part of Rubicon Protocol to me is still the grunt using methane to kill captive marines.

Like, I get we're supposed to hate the Banished, and that Escharum is still kind of a Covenant-thumper type, but that's just obnoxious.

[signal wedge]

Do you think it's canon that the banished would tie marines with a light rope and allow them to yap

[dusk sigil]

I can’t find one with the 2009 game

[signal wedge]

This is why I tbag dead grunts

[candid solar]

They were also looking into having... Forced-to-fight elites?

Which... I can see elites going merc, but I can't imagine many elites would be slave-soldiers and not take a different honorable route.

[meager linden]

See ya later

I will not interfere with your dialogue

[signal wedge]

I wish the propaganda grunt a very painful death

He needs to be a joke bossfight in the next game

[meager linden]

Deserved actually

Especially about his words about Chiefs parents

"Here is a poem for the Master Chief: Your blood is red/Your teammates blue/Your parents don’t remember you. The end."

[solar lynx]

I could have my samsung ai compose a mean message for the chief lol

[barren olive]

i mean it's true though

[lusty frigate]

Hi, is there any game which has either gun shooter fighting or very few different skill/abilities slots which need very few different key bindings like 4-5? Also has a pvp game mode where 2 or more teams fight and each team has atleast 10-20 or more players and which is playable 24/7 any much & whenever we want or at least 4-5 hours a day? whats the max team size considering all pvp modes? doing pvp we get rewards which we can use to unlock new units or skills or weapons or upgrades or litle bit of unit stats etc and these stat progression is consistent which we get to carry for next pvp matches? Also during a pvp match our gears/powers/stats/skills should not be equalized and more powerful geared players do more damage.

[pliant hatch]

battefield/front? idk.

[pulsar heron]

titanfall2 comes to mind but good luck reliably finding matches

[obsidian wyvern]

Titanfall 2 is almost perfect for that description, it's just that you have to search for matches towards the evening

[worldly path]

hey

[acoustic merlin]

what up

[lusty frigate]

tyvm, whats the max team size considering all pvp modes?

[pulsar heron]

16 v 16 in attrition i believe but i might be misremembering

attrition is like halo 5's warzone firefight - large team pvp with a few ai friendlies and foes. only difference between h5wz and tf|2 attrition is that wz has specific "boss" events

attrition may be 8v8 now im thinking about it. i havent played titanfall in a while

[lusty frigate]

ty

[pulsar heron]

the other modes are objective based, pilot only, titan only(?), or you have frontier defence which is like warzone firefight (pve only)

ive only really stuck to attrition but ive played a bit of frontier defence with my girlfriend. apparently people dont tend to play that mode very co-operatively

[steady quarry]

more like halo finite

[spark pilot]

It's sad to see the MCC not have enough people for ranked playh :(*

[obsidian wyvern]

6v6, idk why I was thinking 12v12

guess it doesn't fill the criteria lol

Goodbye, 3-month promo period of Kindle Unlimited. I somehow didn't finish a single book.

[molten pelican]

Im going to buy it once its on sale again

[quasi gust]

It was working fine for me

[signal wedge]

Wow. I download books for free online

I don't think I ever touched the official kindle store tbh

[normal owl]

I bought someone a Kindle Paperwhite and it automatically gave me a free 3-month promo. Was very excited at first and added some stuff to read. Then I blinked and 3 months have passed.

Christmas is in 70 days

[signal wedge]

Woohoo! hopefully I will have an offday (I doubt they give interns christmas off)

[normal owl]

Speaking of, for anyone looking to get the upcoming Hallmark Master Chief Christmas ornament, I was shopping for it and found:

• 2024 ornament is 4.5" tall and plastic
• 2022 ornament is 3.25" tall and resin
• They are different Mk armors as well.

[pulsar heron]

so close already....

[lapis ivy]

Christmas is my favorite holiday Attorney

[normal owl]

Yeah it's horrifying how fast time flies lol

[lapis ivy]

Nothing beats it with a good old eggnog etc

[normal owl]

I love it too! I keep my tree up all of January because I love the warm vibe it adds to my life.

[cedar turret]

Why stop there leave it up year round

[lapis ivy]

Yeah they also sell spruce trees at Walmart here in Texas and hang on those don't grow well here lol

[signal wedge]

I like Christmas because the malls always play christmas music

[normal owl]

But I especially love December 26: all of the obligations are over, leaving only the relaxing benefits of the holiday.

[trim saddle]

Thats why i dont like christmas at malls. non stop music lol I do think we should keep the tree up all year and just decorate it for whatever holiday it is that month.

[normal owl]

I would be tempted if it wasn't frowned upon. I've left it up until March before

Encapsulates the throwback feeling to simple good times when my family was all together, so I understand it's not rational haha

[normal owl]

I. Love. This.

[trim saddle]

have you seen halloween trees before? amazing.

[normal owl]

July 4th tree 🎇

[trim saddle]

can even have lines of LEDs flowing to the top that make it look like a trail of fireworks going up with the big star that blinks then the lights reach the top

[normal owl]

And it's a Miley Cyrus ornament at the top

[trim saddle]

i dont think of her for the 4th of july lol

[lapis ivy]

I see steam on my mobile got an update and fixed the weird halo infinite blank picture on my library lol

[normal owl]

Doesn't she sing "baby you're a firework"?

[lapis ivy]

Can't wait till next month to get my MSI laptop

I think just two weeks more

[normal owl]

Congratulations, that's so exciting!

[wild sleet]

I like Christmas when it stays in December, not October or November

[safe dawn]

This.

[trim saddle]

my tree goes up after thanksgiving and comes down after new years.

[safe dawn]

Correct, tree goes up after thanksgiving, not a second earlier

[wild sleet]

I’m seeing places already putting Christmas stuff at the front in display while pushing the Halloween in the back, like I have no hate towards people who love Christmas but just slow down a little bit

[trim saddle]

I almost changed my gamertag to Recon Father yesterday lol but that would make me personally have to wear recon all the time on infinite which I cant reduce the selection of helmets like that

[wild sleet]

Recon Messiah

[trim saddle]

christmas is known to make a lot of money for businesses so of course theyd shove it out as soon as possible, doesnt make it right though.

[wild sleet]

Then you have those who already covered their house at the Start of November

[hasty zinc]

oh is this related to that video I posted last night?

[vast laurel]

Bring mods to Xbox on halo mcc

[trim saddle]

I wonder if a Taco Unicorn emblem would be a thing.. since everyone likes tacos..

[errant canopy]

Taco did somebody say taco?!?

[hasty zinc]

it's so nice having armrests on my desk chair again

[meager linden]

Good night Spartans

[signal wedge]

Good Night

[fickle drift]

Good morning

[steady jolt]

Remember when people did all those billboards for this? 😂

[jade gust]

I remember

[fickle drift]

Just me or do marines love team killing you on assault on control room with ghosts

Have reseted this check point where you initially enter the snow area

And these marines are running my patience

[meager linden]

Still waiting when xbox will add my region for consoles

[jade gust]

CE's marines are not great at driving. Combine that with the vehicle physics of the game and they're gonna just hit anything that moves, regardless of side

[meager linden]

Ohhh, i remember my first ride on CE warthog
That was trully hell

[obsidian wyvern]

https://vxtwitter.com/Halo/status/1846575817922347387

how many of these haven't been destroyed lol

bruh the yx embed SMH

[meager linden]

Wrong picture LMAO

[jade gust]

Shadow of Intent hasn't

[obsidian wyvern]

did it not get hit by the flood lol

[obsidian wyvern]

not even, some troll made it so discord embeds with another prefix shows stuff like that, and I accidentally typed that in instead of vxtwitter 😔

[meager linden]

Forward unto Dawn

Best

[obsidian wyvern]

its in half

[meager linden]

The fourth one is Spirit of Fire?

[jade gust]

Fourth is Infinity

[fickle drift]

Spirit of Fire is a real trooper

[jade gust]

It did but nothing major was damaged. It's active as of 2559

[obsidian wyvern]

oh cool

[upbeat lintel]

Attention all Halo gamers

Sorry, I've wanted to say that for a while as a joke

[hasty zinc]

it's missing the best ship of all time

[upbeat lintel]

The truth and reconciliation?

[hasty zinc]

negative

[upbeat lintel]

LOL I love that meme

It's a shame that meme got him banned from YouTube

[hasty zinc]

the UNSC Aegis Fate

[upbeat lintel]

Oh

I don't remember that one

[upbeat lintel]

OHHHH

That's makes sense now

I didn't know that was the name of it

[fickle drift]

We can play halo 2 for example but Halo 1 we can't, so there must be something wrong with the servers

[jade gust]

The ship Aegis is referring to is the UNSC Aegis Fate, seen on Sandtrap

[normal owl]

Who can forget Capt Lightyear's heroic feats together with Spartan-BU22

[wise pecan]

👋🤓

[upbeat lintel]

Thank you

[molten pelican]

@normal owl do you know if mass effect legendary edition goes on sale often

[fickle drift]

So I got a mouse and keyboard, I was trying it out last night, controller seemed faster, idk, this game is addicting tho 😂

[amber mirage]

Add it to your wishlist

[normal owl]

Often, yes. But at the current [$8?] price, no. I would snag it now if you don't have it.

[molten pelican]

is that on EA, on steam its at 60

[normal owl]

oh that's on Xbox. Then yeah I would wait until it drops below $15 as I believe it does that pretty often.

[molten pelican]

alrighty I got it wishlisted

[normal owl]

I'm really excited that you're considering playing it! It's one of the Mario's of that generation of action-RPG games: a pillar.

[amber mirage]

I remember thinking I would play it over three years ago

[molten pelican]

I know right ive been considering for a year but il finally snag it when its on sale lol

[normal owl]

It's such a neat story experience that I am genuinely envious of anyone who hasn't yet played it and will be experiencing it for the first time.

[amber mirage]

I played the originals

Just not the LE

[normal owl]

Truly truly excited for you!

[molten pelican]

Yeah it looks really fun after I watched some videos I thought it was more linear than it is and never realized it was more of an rpg

[molten pelican]

Ah

[amber mirage]

The combat can be pretty linear, but everything else is where it opens up.

[molten pelican]

excited to play it through the holidays

lots of hours

[normal owl]

Rok is correct. People use Mass Effect as a prime example of spoke-and-wheel worlds: not pure open-world, but rather more open-choice of which linear chapter to dive into...then those chapters' outcomes influence other chapters across this web of narrative interaction. It's such a great narrative experience.

[amber mirage]

Still solidly my number 2 franchise for narrative.

[molten pelican]

oh yeah that sounds great

il lyk when I start it🙌

[amber mirage]

Also, so you know what you're getting into, going through all three games might be a bit much for the holidays. I think 3 took me like 60 hours.

Took about a month each game for me

[molten pelican]

probably will take me even longer since I always take the scenic route in games, glad they are longer games actually

[amber mirage]

I am a fellow scenic route enjoyer

[molten pelican]

I like when I can squeeze a ton of hours in one

[normal owl]

That's another reason you may enjoy these games: you're rewarded for being thorough, including by discovering new little side quests.

[candid solar]

I am once again saying I wish Anthem took off.

[molten pelican]

my first 38 hours of fallout 4 was just walking around and messing with people lmao

[normal owl]

https://tenor.com/view/ready-face-helmet-armour-scars-and-villainy-subscribe-gif-13946147

Wish we could have played the Battle of Freemark.

[meager linden]

Ok
See you all tomorrow
Even haven`t played Halo today
Was pretty tired from night shift

[normal owl]

Hope you have a great night!

[amber mirage]

I was still in college when Anthem came out. I would only have the time to play one mission a week, so I'd do one mission, then walk and talk around the hub area which I can't recall the name of. It was pretty enjoyable that way.

[normal owl]

The main theme is playing in my head right now.

[molten pelican]

was anthem EA as well?

[amber mirage]

Yeah

[molten pelican]

I see

[amber mirage]

Bioware, too, so same studio as Mass Effect

[molten pelican]

I think I remember seeing some stuff about it in 2020

any good?

[amber mirage]

Depends on what you're looking for

If you wanted a looter shooter to rival Destiny, then no. It didn't succeed on that point.

If you want to pick it up on sale for $5 and get a lightweight RPG, then I'd say yes.

[signal wedge]

I thought Frostbite was a battlefield only thing

[candid solar]

No?

[molten pelican]

id probably just get mass effect at that point yeah

[amber mirage]

It started as that. Moved to being EA's general purpose engine over a decade ago.

[candid solar]

Different experience. I honestly prefer Anthem's gameplay to all the ME I played.

But then, I also exclusively played as Ranger because I felt it had the best combo gameplay.

[jade gust]

Thanks to y'all for reminding me to continue my modded Mass Effect playthrough

I need to see if there's a mod yet for Master Chief's armour... For meme reasons...

[fickle drift]

AOCR is now my 2nd least favorite CE level. That last bit is cancer without unsc weapons or health

[molten pelican]

Im going to forget you said anything about modded mass effect because I will absolutely go down the rabbit hole with mods

[jade gust]

There's so many mods to make it better

Or adding in Boba Fett's armour

Or making the Mako better to drive

[normal owl]

Let's avoid spoilers for those who clearly have yet to play it.

[normal owl]

I would advise against exploring any mods, because the description of what they do will likely spoil major plot/character points.

[regal palm]

I think Halo is a cool guy

[normal owl]

Wow usually the Game Pass-exclusive sales are kind of anemic, but this week's is chock full of Japanese studio-developed goodness and other gems. Some highlights:

• NieR:Automata™ Become as Gods Edition = $15.99
• Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition = $13.99
• Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition = $7.99
• Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster = $19.99
• Scarlet Nexus Ultimate Edition = $14.99
• The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (Xbox 360) = $2.99

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/deals

[amber mirage]

As much as I liked XCOM, The Bureau had a pretty rough start that didn't make me excited to continue.

If I had to pick out a hidden gem from that list, it would probably be this. Great game and a good example of why I think WWI games are generally better than WWII games https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/valiant-hearts-the-great-war/C0X15TR4NP0B

[hasty zinc]

dead island 2 on game pass!

sweet I've wanted to play it

October 31st?! ugh

[normal owl]

I was gonna say: searched and didn't find it.

I was like "who do you gotta voodoo around here to find it on Game Pass?"

[normal owl]

I played this back when it first came out: really wonderful game.

[hasty zinc]

I know that whole song by heart still

[amber mirage]

I think games like that are when Ubisoft really shines

[fickle drift]

I forgot that game existed

[hasty zinc]

I heard riders republic is fun too

I've seen clips

[amber mirage]

I bought it on sale a bit ago. I'll play it one day

[hasty zinc]

[true nest]

mmm i wouldnt think it unless we add them together

1+2

[regal palm]

It would be infinite 4, 2x2=4

[hasty zinc]

You're right, sticking to the same old puns is really trunk-ating my personal growth.

Ah, there it is! I was getting confused with the Warden Eternal someone also made.

Two metalish guys

[hasty zinc]

have you read Epitaph?

[hardy storm]

I doubt I have. I've only read a few Halo books.

Sorry, my bad; listened to them.

[amber mirage]

Someone read me my epitaph

[hasty zinc]

I highly recommend that

if you want to encounter some Didact vs Warden Eternal back and forth

[pulsar heron]

this is the kind of cosplay wizardry i want to achieve

[hasty zinc]

[amber mirage]

I should continue my journey through the books

i have one question, when agryna armor core????

[heady oxide]

I'm hoping there is some tech savy peps in here. I have a dual Monitor setup and I play games on Monitor 2. It has worked perfect until last night and all of a sudden now, the mouse curse doesn't stay locked on Monitor 2 when gaming, it will cross over into Monitor 1 and causing me to lose my mind! Any advice as to what it could be?

I think it plays into the retro hardware aesthetics again. This core in the past year has gotten a lot of pieces that feel like old tech design. Like the one that came with the operation. The chest had these things running on it and they kind of looked like old cables

I think its a much better direction for the core than what theyve had up until this point. Theyve kind of not known what to do with it

Lots of interesting ideas but nothing really feels like the thing as much as this does

[pulsar cobalt]

Pretty good helmet tbh

[candid solar]

Twitter is pretty terrible in general if you aren't someone who thrives on caustic political grifting.

[trim saddle]

Looks like Super Nintendo plastic

[lapis ivy]

I'm going to work on this map I have in mind called NIMH national institute mental health a laboratory facility where you take on the banished in a koth FF

[spark drum]

Looks awesome

[hardy storm]

💀

[iron basin]

how do i get images in the chat 💀

[hardy storm]

You need perms

If that is still a thing, I'm remembering the Halo Discord 2022 era

You need the "Inheritor" role, which is given out to good noodles in the server.

[iron basin]

aight, thanks

I'm trying to find someone whom i can commission to make a whole custom halo suit (cosplay) neck down

[faint mantle]

You may find good references at the 405th's forum

[trim saddle]

Being a good noodle is a fantastic description.

And I'm gonna use it more because of you, thank you.

[lapis ivy]

Yay finally embeds are working again I got an update and fixed it

[trim saddle]

Huzzah! 🎉

[river cove]

halo infinite is surprisingly fun omg

[pulsar cobalt]

Such a good game these day's

[river cove]

i havent really played halo since reach and 4

i heard infinite was the worst game ever made but i actually like it a lot

even though im not a fan of the monetization i love how snappy the weapons feel and i love the new customization options

like theres this one neon visor thing i LOVE

[pulsar cobalt]

It's not

[signal wedge]

you're gonna trigger some people

one day people playing F2P games will stop complaining about monetization that they don't even have to buy 😵‍💫

[crystal ridge]

hey guys, never played halo. does the master chief collection include eveything ive gotta play for a start?

[bleak shoal]

Not halo 5

[river cove]

also i love the ai voices in infinite, it adds a little touch of personality

Oh question, are there any good halo streamers on twitch? I know overwatch has a few popular streamers but I’m not as familiar with halo streamers

[mortal spear]

Does the locked remake in ranked slayer stutter like crazy for anyone else?

[soft ravine]

I did 4 tours on reach

Pls give me the discord MoH

[hardy storm]

No. Suffer.

[soft ravine]

I like Actman but he's firmly against 343 now

[hardy storm]

They also have a Discord if that is more your style. Yes though, a lot of information can be found on 405th.com

[soft ravine]

Like with the undersuit or?

[soft ravine]

I finally got banned after 7 years of spreading clearly false misinformation for giggles

Like you could easily have disproven the wild stories I posted with even a basic Google search. But people love falling for clearly doctored photos and videos out of context. I made the news in Hungary, Poland, and Nigeria a few times

[hardy storm]

That is an odd thing to be proud of. 😆

[soft ravine]

I like being silly and not causing harm

Think of it like "local farmer grows massive turnip"

I think the best one I did was convincing a few news outlets that Arma footage slightly edited somehow was China intercepting Taiwanese fighters

[signal wedge]

lol what

[signal wedge]

I mean that is close enough to what actually happens there

[sour grail]

btb anyone? can't voice chat but can play

[soft ravine]

I had a good time trolling journalists. I got banned because I had a Twitter account for a regional newspaper that didn't have one. They realized that their Twitter wasn't official and got it (and all my other accounts) taken down.

[signal wedge]

Twitter is so bad now and it's getting worse soon because Elon doesn't like getting blocked so he's removing that feature

[faint mantle]

XLR8

[candid solar]

20k

Nice, personal highest survive the undead score

[bleak shoal]

It's so nasty when you get that Heatwave gun

Your pretty much guaranteed to be the #1 player on that leader board when u get the gun

[bleak shoal]

If he owns it, can't he just, well, remove it?

Does being the owner of a platform not give you some profile perks?

[fathom pond]

Anyone down to play mmc?

[iron basin]

whats that?

[fathom pond]

My bad mcc

[candid solar]

I got it with two heatwave pulse carbines.

The nastiest gun is absolutely the oddball easter egg heatwave on the Countdown homage, though.

[iron basin]

yall i got a wicked idea for halo infinite

[bleak shoal]

Yeah that's the one I meant. I think lol

I remember it being a combination of the heatwave and shockrifle

Yeah it was that, I'm sure

[iron basin]

with all the announcements and stuff I'm guessing that halo infinite is gonna get rapped up soon

[bleak shoal]

Though I think it still will get minor updates

[iron basin]

yea

but i was thinking that there could be an event as a final goodbye and it would be a part of the campain story as well

[bleak shoal]

I wouldn't expect that tbh

I mean I'm expecting there to be a final goodbye event because duh obviously there would be one. I'm just not rly sure if we would get an event showcasing real campaign story setup

[iron basin]

yea, it'd be a giant war with all the players vs the banished

its a silly idea

[fickle drift]

I just want to squad up with ppl on VC

[bleak shoal]

Well I mean its not but like I'm not sure if 343 would do some kind of story event in general

I mean Halo Studios :v

[fickle drift]

Anybody want to train a noob

[iron basin]

naw sorry

Well the game is free to download the Xbox was not free LOL

No I don't have a mic hooked up or anything like that

I could probably do through discord if there is a voice chat channel

[iron basin]

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[rare cedar]

What does being in high school have to do with sleeping like CE Chief? Just lay on the floor and sleep

[graceful inlet]

😂

[rare cedar]

Once you hit that pose, everyone will understand

Including the teacher who probably played CE

[graceful inlet]

I have a pretty strict teacher right now So... 😅 I'll just Wait few hours And then i'll go to bed. (That Johns sleeping pose Is kinda comfy)

[rare cedar]

It’s recommended to not sleep on your stomach but I find it comfy as well

[graceful inlet]

Well after I had like 3 sleep paralyzis on back And on the side... I don't want to sleep on the back 😅

[rare cedar]

Oh my

[graceful inlet]

Yeah, if a Spartan came to me in sleep paralyzis, it would be more fear that I have respect for them.
But when a Black creature crawls to me... Big no 😅

I remember that in the last one i had i heard heavy breathing (||like John in kwans vision||) and it was touching my back.

[hearty spire]

Halo studios

[novel tiger]

is there mod that makes the game"s weapon more realistic?

[jade gust]

Probably?

[raw frost]

Last time I had sleep
Paralysis I couldn’t see anything but I felt a presence right up in my face and it was absolutely insane

[graceful inlet]

Yeah. The fastest way to get out of it Is to move small muscles So you can start moving And wake up. Some Are moving with toes. I'm Always trying to blink Fast. Yeah And Fun fact. Don't blink fast for like a minute. It will give you the chance of having a sleep paralyzis.

[raw frost]

I get like 5-6 hours of sleep every day so I’ll try that if it happens again

[graceful inlet]

Practically a quick blinking will give SP And a quick blinking will also wake you up.

[raw frost]

I heard eating or drinking sugary substances close to when you go to bed can cause it too

[graceful inlet]

Don't do it trust me. 😅 I remember I cried when I had S.P. for a First time... For a First time there was a Black creature without a face screaming at me, For a second time i just saw a white face. And for the third time i just Heard heavy breathing And something touching me.

[raw frost]

I usually chug a cup of coffee then go to bed. Caffeine has the compete opposite effect on me for some reason

[graceful inlet]

Also doing something in the middle of the night. You will break your sleeping schedule.

[raw frost]

I’m 27 yrs old and only had SP like 3 times. Never seen any physical figures but it’s always a presence I feel. No screaming lol

The last time I had it though was the only time I felt afraid because it was like something was right up in my face and there was nothing I could do about it. I could feel the vibrations

[raw frost]

I work nights lmao so I’m up all night regardless

[graceful inlet]

I have always known when I had a sleep paralysis thanks to: terribly loud noises, head spinning, terribly weak body that cannot be moved, and terribly heavy breathing. I remember always having mild arrhythmia after waking up.

[graceful inlet]

OH😅 I Didnt know that

[raw frost]

I was always tense and was feeling hot.

[raw frost]

What makes it worse is that I live alone . So I know for a fact that I’m the only person in the house and yet I still feel the presence of someone right up on me. Nightmare fuel for sure

[graceful inlet]

On YouTube there Is a simulation of a sound that Is in sleep paralyzis it sounds like loud vaccum cleaner.

[graceful inlet]

OH yeah. There Are 3 types of sleep paralyzis.
Visual
Audible
And Physical

So you probably just hear things. I had all 3

[raw frost]

Guess I’ve had 2 bc that presence and vibrations were real

[graceful inlet]

Then you're lucky. Because i'm scared to sleep on the side Becuase my brain thinks that Black creature Is there again etc.

It crawled on 4 legs to me. Just Skinny Black long creature.

[raw frost]

I sleep on my stomach then will wake up on my side or back. Pillows and cover either thrown off the bed or completely tangled lmao

[graceful inlet]

Yeah you can sense something Being on your bed

[raw frost]

Never had that.

Always hovered to the right or directly above

[graceful inlet]

They can take away your blanket 😅 And if you don't see them then you can feel them.

[raw frost]

They can try I’ll fight a ghost lol

[graceful inlet]

Well that thing that was touching my back was on my bed. I sensed it on my bed that Its kneeling on it.

[raw frost]

Your house may just be haunted

[graceful inlet]

They're taking advantage of the fact that you can't move right now. And if you move, you'll wake up. It happened to me the second time I had sleep paralysis. I opened my eyes and there was a white, ugly mask on the other side of the room that disappeared as soon as I started moving. The room lit up and I was awake.

[raw frost]

You got some demons bro

[graceful inlet]

Well actually we bought a house where old lady died.😅

[graceful inlet]

I Wish I had THE DEMON in my sleep paralyzis... (Master Chief)😅 That would be much better

[raw frost]

You ever seen Darkness falls? It’s a horror movie from 2003 about the tooth fairy and that’s what I imagine when im struggling through sleep paralysis

[graceful inlet]

No, I'm not watching horrors 😅

[raw frost]

lol

Google the hallway beginning for some absolute nightmare fuel

[graceful inlet]

😅 I'm Always walking a dark long hallways in school.

[raw frost]

Oof

[true nest]

ur cooked

[graceful inlet]

He's coming 😅 (|| smiling of fear And knowing i'm cooked||)

[abstract surge]

Lol, shoud I be scared of LASO?

[abstract surge]
