5 years ago today ACNH Released

[thorn raft]

Any of you from Alaska?

[molten pelican]

If only it were a real place

[waxen rose]

There's no proof Alaska has ever existed

Trust

[waxen rose]

The joy I feel whenever I open ACNH is unmatched

[faint mantle]

Are you telling me that place where Malcolm in the Middle's Francis was working in season 2 & 3 was a TV set?

[normal owl]

People have long forgotten that the word "Alaska" is simply an evolution of mispronunciation from a 20th century Australian explorer of the area whose trademark phrase was "I'll ask her" in a deep Aussie slang "Ah'll ask ha".

[waxen rose]

Thanks for the history lesson, I did not know that

Unless youre pulling my nonexistent leg….

Stamp of approval! I trust that you were there in 1867!

[molten pelican]

Rev wasn't even there in 2008

[waxen rose]

Maybe he's a time traveler... The benefit of the extreme doubt

[faint mantle]

I'd believe him, the Mexican state of Yucatan was named under a similar circumstance.

[waxen rose]

Well this is total crap: snow on Mar 20

[molten pelican]

After further examination and, the help of AI enhancers, I can confirm that it is March

[waxen rose]

This is called “average northern state” depression
It'll still be snowing late into April the next you know it

[pliant hatch]

we just had a blizzard yesterday.

[hasty zinc]

I haven't been to DQ in awhile

I could go for a blizzard right about now

[candid tusk]

I'll take the snow please. It's a wet slushy drizzle up here.

[jade gust]

Can you send some to the UK too?

[normal owl]

You all can have it.

[meager bluff]

What do you mean it is getting hot now

[jade gust]

I prefer the cold

[meager bluff]

Ok

[jade gust]

And temperature fluctuations like what happen in early spring really mess with my body

I've only had time on my Xbox during my early morning exercise bike time, so I slowly played through the Yasuke intro in order to tweak all my settings. Then tonight I'll restart the whole game for real on the living room TV. You?

[fickle drift]

I’ve been playing as naoe

[lapis ivy]

Well it's supposed to be spring already and it's still cold in Texas

[lapis ivy]

You from the UK too?

[meager bluff]

Yes, better than the US, worse than everywhere else that is a stage 5 developed society

Marginally better, might I add

[lapis ivy]

I can't believe it's still cold in Texas maybe cause I'm in the shade

Jesus

[meager bluff]

Climate change actually changed the climate in the uk

[obsidian wyvern]

[waxen rose]

Free icecream day!

[meager linden]

I prefer warm

[lapis ivy]

Yeah so it did in Texas might be able to grow spruce now thank God lol

[waxen rose]

I love the cold because that means I get to be a snug bug in a rug for 5 months

[lapis ivy]

Is it hot like hell now in the UK? I didn't know that

[fickle drift]

It's moderately warm at midday where I am

Still a bit frigid at night

[silk beacon]

I have typhon warnings

[waxen rose]

Stay safe pretty please with a cherry on top

[pulsar heron]

trench is a frequent chatter, you are likely to see them often

4 different servers is crazy

[pulsar heron]

given that you and i share 3 servers and all of those are microsoft related, it's not really surprising that you've seen them in that many servers

[silk beacon]

Guys is iratus gone?

[oak ibex]

[zinc carbon]

The Halo play date steam has very little viewers. Is that kinda worrying or nah

[lofty raptor]

I have tried them a few times but no answer so was wondering if this was a common thing

[lapis ivy]

Hey iratus have you ever used a cast net to catch loads of fish,squid and Crab?

Spartan Runner is fire

The golden shotgun is broken and I love it

[midnight sandal]

has anyone in this server, or any other game related server, gotten a random friend request from someone talking about their needing art coms or something like that. im 100% sure its a bot or some scammer but wanted to see if anyone else has had it happen to them

[hasty zinc]

it's a common thing

[midnight sandal]

yeah thats what i figured i just wanted a second opinion, thank you (:

[jagged locust]

Is anyone getting games right now or is the sbmm being strict

Says estimated wait 15 secs but it’s been 2 mins search time on firefight

[pearl laurel]

I think it’s sus if you’ve never seen them chat in the servers

[molten pelican]

Dang 2 mins on FF?

What's your region

[obsidian drift]

it's both, so just ignore them, you could try and report them on the server they came from

[jagged locust]

Central coast

[safe dawn]

I've gotten several, I just tell them I'm not interested and move on

It happended a little after I started streaming and linked my twitch to my discord

yeah i just blocked them, ive gotten a few on steam but this is the first one on discord

[floral wave]

Heyaa c:

[raw frost]

I love playing an hour or so of classic FF just to not get the xp from it because it wants to do the 0 score bug

[warm brook]

fr bro i wish it would give you xp cuz its my fav mode to play too

[raw frost]

It does but the game bugs out often lately resulting in you not getting any career score and the match doesn’t even show up in your match history.

[waxen rose]

[jade mulch]

hi

[warm brook]

oh thats prob why then

also any reccomended weapons for the sentinels on the spire

i just found a some kind of easter egg in chief armor that i haven't seen anyone talk about it yet i think

if you look at the model on the back of the helmet
you can spot a little 117

[signal wedge]

Not sure if it's an easter egg but 117 is his number of course it's on him

[glad aspen]

yeah i know lol
but i havent' seen anyone talk about this little detail

well at least we can use the 117 number in the multiplayer in some way lol

Im getting a bunch of work done and it feels pretty good to cruise through it all. Its nice to look back and see all the progress I've made for my efficiency.

[analog knot]

Excuse me - how could you say this while im on a call planning for a later call that could be an email - for a project thats over budget and behind schedule???

Jokes aside happy for you 😄

[trim saddle]

Over budget and behind schedule, are you a federal employee? 🤣

-dont worry, thats the deepest ill go into that topic-

[trim saddle]

Oh i forgot you cant enlarge text here lol darn

[molten pelican]

Real lol

[obsidian wyvern]

tbf we aasked for the bans in matchmaking

too many people quit mcc matches

[molten pelican]

Real ^2

I faced a guy named shotty snipes in shotty snipes and half my squad quit on me, shotty snipes lived up to his name and dropped like 30+ kills

Actually I think shotty snipes might have been hacking

Or just, really good at shotty snipes

[fickle drift]

Remember when folk were boosting in Grifball? Good times.

challenge them to a dance off instead.

[waxen rose]

taking notes

[hasty zinc]

was at the new work office this morning, bunch of guys from IT all sitting around a desk talking about video games. Someone said "bungie" and that sparked at 20 minute conversation about Halo

the main guy was like "I'm going to say something y'all may not agree with. Halo 3 is overrated"

I high-fived him

[steady jolt]

[hasty zinc]

got 0 pushback on saying that 4 was my favorite

https://tenor.com/2ymf.gif

[analog knot]

Of course I blocked them. Doesnt mean everyone else did. They jumped from streamer to streamer spoofing and harassing them

[steady jolt]

Watched that episode last night hahaha

[hasty zinc]

gone too soon 😦

[steady jolt]

</3

[waxen rose]

Me but halo 2 (the first half)

[hasty zinc]

I was just like "of course when I'm here there is Halo talk"

[analog knot]

The current system incentivizes AFKing which is potentially more annoying. Infinite has a much better implementation, but it also has JIP and not Rejoin sooooo other tradeoffs 😄

Also the whole automated quit ban thing is used by the cheaters; remove that and you've removed that from their toolkit. Its admittedly not a simple problem to solve but I lean towards Infinites system

(particularly the ranked version where if half of either team quits anyone can quit - seems to be the best in between for MCC as is)

[winter flame]

not letting the other team quit unbalanced matches is such a bizarre oversight

that's been my only issue with MCC

otherwise I think its a good compromise

[analog knot]

Well with rejoin you can also be retroactively banned, another oversight

[winter flame]

that too tbh

[analog knot]

if its a 4v2 and you quit, making it a 4v1, and one of your original teammates rejoins its back to a 4v2/4v3 and now YOU are flagged as the original quitter and banned. Stupid.

[winter flame]

i dont actually know how it works in ranked infinite, nobody seems to quit 4v1 cus they want the XP

[analog knot]

oh and that ban is applied minutes later, after the original game ends, which could be 1-2 games LATER for you lol

[waxen rose]

The only thing not overrated about Halo 3 is the Halo 3 Advertising team 🙏

[analog knot]

https://i.imgur.com/vile4OC.png

[silk beacon]

Nice random link.

[analog knot]

Well I dont have permissions so np

[winter flame]

so yeah u still gotta stick out a 4v1 for CSR

not perfect but oh well

[harsh forge]

4 was pretty good it’s actually my second favorite in terms of story

[winter flame]

did u lose them or something? feels odd u not having them considering the other folk who have got them

[waxen rose]

Halo 4 is great! It really shows us how badly both the chief and cortana need therapy 💕💕

[winter flame]

not naming any names but that guy who's named after a halo reach vehicle 😏

[analog knot]

I have never had them, its some automated system or something idk.

[dry lintel]

falcon

[molten pelican]

Also his favorite game

Oh look

[obsidian wyvern]

I wouldn't say incentivizes is the right word

but it's absurd how long that afk timer is

[obsidian wyvern]

you can quit once 2 people quit

[winter flame]

not in mcc i dont think?

[obsidian wyvern]

it was a thing in mcc

[analog knot]

How not? AFKing is never bannable in MCC - you could literally never play ever and not get banned. But if you quit EVER, even for reasons outside of your control, instant ban that ramps up over time

[molten pelican]

Recon I believe you over dynf btw

[hasty zinc]

that goes without saying

[winter flame]

i recall in mcc the last player hiding and u would get banned for quitting

[analog knot]

You can quit in MCC once 50% of YOUR team leaves, but not if they rejoin, and its not displayed in game anywhere.

[obsidian wyvern]

well they're not saying "go be afk, just don't quit" but yeah there should be a timer for it

[analog knot]

Oh and they have to have loaded in

[molten pelican]

AFK makes me more angry than people quitting lol

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah they do more damage

[analog knot]

They may not be directly saying "go AFK" but if they dont ban even the AFK Griefers then clearly they prefer that

[molten pelican]

And they don't get a consequence

[analog knot]

MCC has an AFK community who brag about having 0 kills and 60/70/100 THOUSAND deaths lol

[winter flame]

tbh i think there's more to Infinite's ban system. AFK timer is long but if I had to guess, the data is still tracked and persistent AFKers do get banned.

MCC is more direct with bans, you get banned and those bans increase

[obsidian wyvern]

infinites ban system for leaving matches just doesn't exist

[molten pelican]

This is excluding the unfortunate folks who forget that they are in matchmaking before using the restroom, or have tragically died in front of their keyboard

[winter flame]

leaving is way less annouing then afking

[molten pelican]

Now let's talk about people who run over their own teammates with vehicles

[winter flame]

if you have to go suddenly, just leave. its not hard

[dry lintel]

what if they arent AFK but their armor is locked

[molten pelican]

Interested to see what dynf has to say about it

[analog knot]

Leave a game? Nobody should care.
Leave 3 games within 24 hours? Eh, maybe a concern.
Leave 3 games within 24 hours EVERY DAY for a week? Now we should start paying attention

[molten pelican]

Man sometimes you underestimate, then youre locked in for a solid 10 mins on a bad day

I am not speaking from experience

[winter flame]

true but even then i would just leave

outside of BTB, ur player being afk for a few minutes will lose a game

[molten pelican]

People who game on the toilet using xcloud

[dry lintel]

I usually just alt f4 on the spot if I have to go do something, unless im certain ill be back in like 2 minute or less

[obsidian wyvern]

[molten pelican]

Rev you have xcloud

[winter flame]

i think the one time AFK is okay is at the very start of a game, sometimes you queue and you are just grabbing water or something. you dont know how fast u will find a match

but otherwise nah

[obsidian wyvern]

I haven't used it in months now lol

you have a steam deck or whatever

[molten pelican]

The withdrawals will hit

[fickle drift]

Is this a High Ground reference

[molten pelican]

Oh yeah

[molten pelican]

Sure I'm okay with that

[analog knot]

From all of the OSRS players Ive seen recently I dont even think they are AFKing, they are just skilling or w/e its called

[obsidian wyvern]

it is indeed

[winter flame]

i wanna try using remote play to my PC or Xbox when im outside on 5G. idk if it works well but i got the data for it now

[obsidian wyvern]

oh you bought it?

[molten pelican]

Get steam deck or ally

[winter flame]

30GB 😄

[analog knot]

I have played MCC on a steam deck mid-flight over the atlantic

[silk beacon]

Steam deck is kinda annoying

Too small screen

[analog knot]

I had like 150ping I was surprised how not-horrible it was

[molten pelican]

It's like 7-8 inches

[dry lintel]

mmm

[obsidian wyvern]

what

[molten pelican]

That's what she said btw

[analog knot]

Thats like wayyy above average right guys

[molten pelican]

No

[winter flame]

the OG deck is 6 like the switch i think

[obsidian wyvern]

that's a small screen size

[molten pelican]

Anyways panda I've been enjoying the ally

[waxen rose]

She never said that once, trust me I know her

[analog knot]

Im glad! 🙂 It really is a fun piece of hardware

And it does a surprisingly good job tbh

[molten pelican]

Have a trip coming up that I can actually use it for so that's going to be nice

[analog knot]

Did you end up making your own 18W power profile for it?

[meager linden]

Did I miss something important?

[analog knot]

(Thats where Ive seen most end up)

[obsidian wyvern]

yes

spork just revealed his age to be 14

[molten pelican]

Yeah I've noticed that 18 seems to be the good happy medium, but because I haven't actually been on a long trip yet I've just used 25 plugged in

[obsidian wyvern]

I could always tell

[molten pelican]

30 is too loud

[waxen rose]

Oh 😨

[molten pelican]

If this is about the joke, attorney has to be 14 as well

[obsidian wyvern]

the joke?

[winter flame]

wait no Steam Deck is 7inch like the Switch OLED. Steam Deck OLED is 7.4.

[molten pelican]

What are u talking abt lol

[fickle drift]

Panda

[meager linden]

Wat?

[obsidian wyvern]

I don't know about any joke

[analog knot]

Power bank for an extra few hours seems to be the play too 😄 Although we usually arent so far from power outlets

[molten pelican]

Oh didn't know the oled had a slightly larger screen

[analog knot]

And yes default fan speed is FAR too loud

[molten pelican]

I think the ally is 6, definitely not as beefy

[analog knot]

Its 7 as well, same as og deck

[molten pelican]

I got worried when I first went to 30 lol

[analog knot]

og switch was 6 though maybe? I remember one was 6

[molten pelican]

Hm

[obsidian wyvern]

what do you usually play on it

[winter flame]

OLED Switches compared to the two Steam Decks

[molten pelican]

Depends on the game but demanding games I use 25TDP, a lot can get away with 15 including MCC

[analog knot]

Oh so its like those pictures with two triangles and they are the same size

[obsidian wyvern]

didn't realise how big the controllers were

[molten pelican]

Im going to try witcher 3 on it

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean in general lol

what games do you play on it

[molten pelican]

Oh I thought you meant TDP mb

[winter flame]

Steam Deck 2 probably will have a 8inch display to match the Switch 2

[pliant hatch]

oh, didn't know they were on twitch streams.

[molten pelican]

Uh, not a whole lot yet since I've been home, MCC and Assassins creed really

[obsidian wyvern]

ah

[analog knot]

Most of the cheaters intentionally target streamers

Luckily radar doubles rotated back in for H3, wayyyy more cheaters when hardcore doubles is in

[obsidian wyvern]

you find games in those??

[analog knot]

Yeah ofc

Ranked Invasion / H4 / Team Hardcore 4s is dead. But Doubles (H3/CE) and Team Slayer (H3) can find games in ranked pretty consistently

[molten pelican]

I did end up putting a case on it since the stock ally is a little too slim and can feel like gripping paper if you have regular sized hands, feels better now with a case and thumb grips

[winter flame]

can u carry me from level 1 😭

[molten pelican]

Real

[obsidian wyvern]

for those 25 ranked games for sword and board I exclusively played H3 doubles

[molten pelican]

I'm too scared to even touch MCC ranked

[dry lintel]

I played so much h3 team slayer

[analog knot]

You shouldnt be - most of the people are relatively chill. But of course smaller sample size so the jerks are even more obvious 😄

[dry lintel]

the h4 squad battle ranked playlist went hard not gonna lie

[analog knot]

H4 Squad Battle having the most relaxed searching is still weird to me

I remember matching a team of 50s when I was like a 19

[winter flame]

same with infinite ranked btb

[analog knot]

(They actually need that for all of the other playlists now, but for whatever reason they cant adjust two numbers to be two different numbers)

[winter flame]

too relaxed would make it stop being ranked tho

[analog knot]

Most of the streamers all had their ranks locked at 23 by cheaters anyway

So its kind of already social

[winter flame]

how does that even work

[obsidian wyvern]

fr

[analog knot]

343 did not make the ranks on your profile case sensitive

[spare basin]

[analog knot]

and they dont prevent new ranks from being added

[fickle drift]

It’s a shame because it’s the only place I could play the mlg settings for Reach but can never find a game

Not that I’ve tried in like a year, granted

[analog knot]

So a cheater writes h3hardcoredouble instead of h3HardcoreDoubles to your account, now you're stuck forever

[winter flame]

reach hardcore is a vibe

[fickle drift]

No bloom

[analog knot]

Really stupid. And 343 wont scrub the ranks to fix it. So now you're literally stuck forever 😄

[trail plinth]

Anybody else not impressed with the latest season pass?

[obsidian wyvern]

never am

[analog knot]

At one point they forced everyone in ranked to be a 2, but a "friendly" cheater came along and forced them all to be 23s. I wish I was kidding

[winter flame]

how can they even write anything to your account. video games have the dang worse basic security it seems

[obsidian wyvern]

that sounds funny af tbf

[analog knot]

Its funny in the like wow its sad how out of control it is kind of way

(all that to say, 99% of casual players will never see a cheater)

[winter flame]

game doesnt even use P2P outside of campaign so they should have put measures in place to stop anything like that

[analog knot]

the recent EAC update did more to block legitimate players than it did cheaters 😦

[obsidian wyvern]

we get afk players and quitters instead

[analog knot]

made the microsoft store version players unable to queue lol

[fickle drift]

I’d like it if the game didn’t crash every time I opened it with my controller plugged in.

[winter flame]

the only hope for MCC at this point is they are actually porting the whole thing to PS5 and a serious development focus is put on it

[analog knot]

Sort of. They can just manipulate the lobby completely and force it to P2P (at least they used to be able to), lot of IP leaks in MCC unfortunately

[obsidian wyvern]

I have a lot to say about crashes and halo 2

[analog knot]

That P2P functionality wasnt removed it was just disabled.

[winter flame]

should have been ripped out for the PC port

[analog knot]

I disagree - there are a lot of $0 changes they COULD make, but they arent even doing those; the likelihood they are doing huge $$$ changes seems slim.

They kept it in as a fallback which kind of makes sense but again gives the cheaters more ammo so its a negative

[obsidian wyvern]

guess we're gonna have to settle for a halo 5 port

[analog knot]

Even 343 doesnt like H5 enough to port it lol

[dry lintel]

😔

[winter flame]

they'll do those changes if they need to comply with Playstation rules. Xbox doesnt actually care, MCC updates made Halo 2A campaign unplayable on One X but they get a pass cause Xbox doesnt really care

[fickle drift]

MS could outsource it just to shove REQ packs in front of the Steam playerbase tbh

[analog knot]

My personal opinion -> MSoft will push for Xbox cloud gaming to be available on other platforms. Boom, MCC is now instantly available on switch/ps

[dry lintel]

steam players love gambling

[fickle drift]

As long as it runs and I can get my last two achievements idc

[waxen rose]

Me when the roblox kids game has gambling 😍

[trail plinth]

Id say the first few were great! I think they realized though by the end of the second or third season pass that they wouldn't be able to keep up regularly making new armor, skins, charms and armor effects.

[normal owl]

Much of the general population loves gambling. That's why sports and online gambling are so huge. Reqs were too early.

[winter flame]

i dont think either of them will allow cloud gaming, not even Apple does. Game Pass on Playstation is really just another EA Play, but 3rd party cloud gaming services wont happen on those consoles

[dry lintel]

between prizepicks and 20 dollar cosmetics in videogames the youngins sure are eatin good

[analog knot]

If you really want to see Microtransactions check out gacha games

[winter flame]

Xbox doesnt even allow GeForce now on their own consoles. To me Spencer talking about Game Pass on playstation is refering to EA Play style arrangement

[analog knot]

Maplestory has a tier that costs $500 a month for benefits and you see them everywhere

[analog knot]

The implementation may not be as direct as I said, but the concept is there

[fickle drift]

Oh dear 🥴

[normal owl]

It's adults and professionals like me that I see loving gambling. Every game on fanduel, nights out at casinos, gambling is just another way to spend money with an uncertain return like many other ways to spend discretionary income.

[analog knot]

Sports channels now actively show gambling odds lol its crazy

[night crystal]

Wild

[normal owl]

They know how widespread the appeal is so they adapt

[waxen rose]

Want more fans? Gamble!

[meager linden]

Casinos are a crime

[winter flame]

Xbox does at least hava Moonlight which if you have a gaming PC, lets you play PC games on Xbox consoles up to 120hz 4k. It's super cool way to repurpose an Xbox One S as a Steam Link pretty much

[dry lintel]

bring back whimsical gambling, I wanna guess what cup has the ball underneath

[normal owl]

Not in most countries it's not. It's just a recreational activity, not some moral evil lol

[fossil pollen]

guess whos back

back again

[winter flame]

who

[fossil pollen]

bob!

[fickle drift]

Line of discourse aside, I was emphasising the financial incentive for putting H5 on PC

[normal owl]

Guess who's back, or guess whose back?

[fossil pollen]

whoops my grammar uh oh

[normal owl]

Grammar saves lives.

[dry lintel]

i miss my grammar

[hasty zinc]

I remember when I was younger I used to play like Yahooo wheel of fortune or something online

I corrected someones grammar and they go "I'm a cop I know grammer"

[meager linden]

Maybe not, but people just spending A LOT of money on nothing, there's even no chance that you can retrieve back that you spend on casino

[hasty zinc]

I turned $50 into $350+ and left

[normal owl]

Have you seen most developed countries' populations lately? That's a staple of life lol

[normal owl]

The original "going 7x to the moon"

[waxen rose]

Correction, they should be!

But are not

[meager linden]

I played yesterday with my friend, he from UK
I tried to speak in English(voice chat), and to my surprise, with my slightly rough accent but he understood what I was saying

So, I improved my English a little, one step of time

[normal owl]

If something should be a crime because people spend a lot of money on an experience where they can't "retrieve back what they spend", then video games should be a crime. But guess what, it's perfectly legal and fine, and in fact you have spent a lot of time in a server dedicated to a video game. So you must be in favor of that kind of spending! Looks like we agree after all.

[waxen rose]

“Many gamblers quit before they win big”
Insert that one diamond-mining image😭

[normal owl]

The point is: don't judge how others choose to enjoy spending their money so long as it's legal.

[meager linden]

Yeah
That should be a meme related to Minecraft, but it's now real

[waxen rose]

Spend your money on the halo 3 tanktop NOW!!!

[fossil skiff]

Why are we discussing trig

[fossil pollen]

gotta help people

[waxen rose]

Thank you spoungebob

[normal owl]

No AI slop please.

[molten pelican]

That's trigonometry actually

[normal owl]

hold up, there's a H3 tanktop??

[fossil pollen]

yay first person who noticed

[waxen rose]

Yes and its SO CUTE

[meager linden]

Spending money on videogames is worth it, because you are supporting devs to make new content for game
You may mute me, but it's true

[fossil pollen]

but it helps people

[hasty zinc]

why would you be muted?

[normal owl]

Guess a matching tanktop group photo of server members is in our future

[waxen rose]

Order your tank top now to be apart of the picture!

[molten pelican]

If you boost the server it helps fund it

[fossil pollen]

DID YOU KNOW #5: Master Cheif ins't actually a human. To support this, in Halo 4, there is a cutscene where you can see other people get turned into super humans.

[dry lintel]

I before E except after C

[normal owl]

That's great that you want to spend your money to support one segment of people in the economy. Spending at something like a casino does the exact same thing. Just let people enjoy how they spend their hard-earned money and relaxation time without acting like you know better and judging the way they use it.

[waxen rose]

I think super humans = humans😭

[fossil pollen]

eh

[waxen rose]

If it talks, walks, and looks human then its human

[molten pelican]

Tbf attorney gambling addictions are a real thing and people can go their whole lives making poor money decisions that are only made worse by constant affirmation

Just a different side of the argument I guess

[fossil pollen]

huh? what about grunts and elites?

[dry lintel]

all im getting from this is that attorney loves hitting the tables

[jade gust]

Super-humans are basically humans plus something else, whether that be a radioactive and/or magical spider bite giving them powers, gamma radiation, lots of drugs or some other thing altering their body to be "super"

[waxen rose]

They are not humans what

[fossil pollen]

scratch that

[normal owl]

Same with any bad spending decisions. That's why credit card debt is one of the widespread financials issues that people deal with.

[winter flame]

depends on the content you want. the money that's been spent on GTA Online pretty much gave Rockstar no incentive to release anything for 7 years. it supported the company and its ability to pay its developers with minimal risk, but we didnt get the creative Rockstar of the past

[jade gust]

Oh how I wish GTA Online wasn't full of flying cars and bikes doing drive bys

[waxen rose]

Quick, put 90 pounds of drugs in that 6 year old!

[meager linden]

I don't play at any Rockstar games so I can't say anything about their games

[molten pelican]

Real stuff, theres a reason credit card marketing is everywhere the money they can rack up by pulling in less informed people is incredible

[winter flame]

ofc if a devloper is doing what u want them to, give them money. but i wouldnt throw money at a developing thinking it will mean better games from them

[jade gust]

That's called highly unethical and child endangerment

[fossil pollen]

DID YOU KNOW #6: The absence of the Assault Rifle (AR) in "Halo 2" comes down to design choices made by Bungie, the game's developer. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:

Weapon Sandbox Changes:
Bungie wanted to refine the weapon sandbox in "Halo 2." They felt that the AR in "Halo: Combat Evolved" functioned somewhat like a submachine gun (SMG).
To address this, they introduced the SMG as a dedicated close-range, high-fire-rate weapon.
They also emphasized the Battle Rifle (BR) as the primary mid-to-long-range precision weapon. This effectively filled the role that the AR had previously occupied.

[waxen rose]

Its called DrHalseycore

[dry lintel]

I really do wonder how they are going to execute the realism of GTA online in 6. GTA has always had wacky aspects like aliens and laser guns but the futuristic military vehicles definitely got overwhelming for most people it seems

[normal owl]

Believe it or not, I rarely gamble. I just go with friends when they do, we have a great time, I see how responsible they are with their real money, and get to know the folks who work at the various places that make their living from customers like us.

[molten pelican]

I personally use the barter system

[normal owl]

Please stop with the AI slop. Thank you.

[waxen rose]

Public execution in 2 days!

[normal owl]

Now there's something we need to bring back.

[molten pelican]

I give you a homemade broom and in return, perhaps a mystery box full of valuable spices?

[fossil pollen]

but it answers my question 😦

[molten pelican]

That's too much excitement for one day

[jade gust]

Well that's the thing, GTA V is where all the really wacky stuff came to the forefront. Previous GTAs and Rockstar games had stuff hidden away in them, but they never had it at the forefront by having players just be able to access flying cars and laser machine guns. Which does make me go "Aren't we meant to be robbing banks and being part of a gang?"

[meager linden]

Okay, see you all soon?
Or tomorrow?

[normal owl]

You can always feel free to query answers on your own, but please keep that content out of here. Thanks!

[waxen rose]

See you in the great beyond.…

[normal owl]

I would be interested in the Spicy Surprise.

[fossil pollen]

are you a moderator on this server?

[molten pelican]

He is a really good lawyer

[molten pelican]

Indubitably

[fossil pollen]

noice

[dry lintel]

Yeah, I personally love all the toys and fun weapons but the execution of obtaining them and the balancing was terrible. The Oppressor mark 2 is still one of the stupidest additions to a game I have ever seen, it used to have like 30 missiles and they had the strongest homing in the game, and you could request the vehicle to spawn right next to you. It made freeroaming miserable due to griefing and trolls

[waxen rose]

He was personally inspired by Saul Goodman

[fossil pollen]

whoops didn't know he actually was

[jade gust]

You mean like that blind guy in New York?

[molten pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-daredevil-charlie-cox-gif-8038668

[winter flame]

a believe he's Superintendent-class artificial intelligence

[jade gust]

So I've seen. Honestly after a few too many drive bys, I just gave up with GTA Online

[normal owl]

I've heard mixed reviews about the new series.

[jade gust]

That's the one

[molten pelican]

Haven't tried it yet, btw, how has shadows been ?

[obsidian wyvern]

it's ok

[jade gust]

I heard people were really upset to find out the guy who plays White Tiger died in real life, both because he gave a fantastic performance and because his actor was the big bad in Black Ops 2

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean I guess it's good it's just very very different to the netflix

[molten pelican]

Is it a different vibe

[obsidian wyvern]

kind of

[fossil pollen]

i can't wait for the next halo campaign

[molten pelican]

I was worried it might get Disneyfied in a way

[jade gust]

I also heard episodes 2 and 3 were mostly made using footage from before they restarted development on the show

[normal owl]

Haven't gotten to play that much, due to a tragic surge in work, but so far it has been excellent. The mocap and voice acting they did was remarkable: makes the conversations and cinematics hit emotionally. They did a really great job bringing the people to life.

And it's straight-up gorgeous:

[fossil pollen]

Something crazy is that my reaction speed is 0.26

seconds*

[obsidian wyvern]

2 and 3 were better than 1

[molten pelican]

It looks pretty fun and I think is getting better reception than anticipated? Il have to play it eventually

[waxen rose]

Sounds like a wood stork is talking right now…

[obsidian wyvern]

the arc he got on screen was pretty good

[harsh tide]

what the infinite campaign like, will i like it? my fav campaigns were reach and 2?

[waxen rose]

I like the campaign personally because its character driven but it wont beat reach or halo 2

[obsidian wyvern]

my recommendation is try on gamepass first

pretty different game

[molten pelican]

Personally I prefer linear campaigns over this faux open world it brought in

[waxen rose]

If you like ‘open world” games then you'll love infinate

[molten pelican]

Not necessarily

[obsidian wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/reasonsimbroke-larry-david-hbo-hbo-max-meh-gif-24169087

[waxen rose]

Well if you want a better open world game then play RDR2

[molten pelican]

It's not really that cool of an open world, kinda boring actually lol

[dry lintel]

if you like ubisoft open worlds then youll love infinite

[harsh tide]

its a lot of money, and like idk, i see alot of conflicted reviews, so was curious about what the peeps here had to say

[dry lintel]

well, that would imply infinite's campaign had content

[waxen rose]

I got mine for 30 bucks on ebay

[normal owl]

It's indeed been getting a lot of "this is one of their strongest showings recently" reviews. It's just a good, solid, high-quality, beautiful game so far and I'm excited to dip into it repeatedly over the long-term.

[molten pelican]

Tbf assassins creed open worlds have a lot of content to them

[harsh tide]

they sold physical pc copies?

[molten pelican]

Just not all immersive or important

[molten pelican]

Nice to hear!

[waxen rose]

I was talking about Xbox 1 copies…

[jade gust]

Fair. When I take a break from X Files, I'll be sure to watch it

[fossil pollen]

guess who is back

[harsh tide]

i dont got an xbox1, i got an og xbox and a 360 tho

[jade gust]

If I pick up Shadows, my big hope is it surpasses Origins in terms of how the open world feels

[normal owl]

This one, along with Origins and Odyssey, has great important stuff in their open worlds: iconic locations and structures re-created with literal historian assistance and original architectural detail.

[harsh tide]

i very much did not like Origins

[waxen rose]

Sadly it can only play on pc, Xbox 1 or any of the newest xboxes

[fossil pollen]

funny enough, they have an easter egg about me in halo 3 odst

[jade gust]

I loved Origins

Easily my favourite Assassin's Creed

[harsh tide]

i dont think that is sad, why develop for 15 year old consoles, it doesnt make sense

[normal owl]

omg visiting one iconic historical location after another in Origins. I must have said the word "wow" a hundred times playing it.

[jade gust]

Exactly

[harsh tide]

i wasnt a fan of H3 ODST

[waxen rose]

Me when Assasins Creed 3 comes on😍

[fossil pollen]

yea but i still played the whole game

[jade gust]

And just the fact that, based on real world research, the devs added a chamber into one of the pyramids, and then it turned out there was one where the devs added it

The joy I feel when I slaughter a red coat…

[jade gust]

Maybe it's me being British, but I couldn't finish AC3

[harsh tide]

you mentioned its open world, how does that mean?

[jade gust]

Large open space to roam around in

[harsh tide]

yeh i know what open world means

i meant specific to halo

[waxen rose]

Only cool people save all of the marines first

[pearl laurel]

s Creed is fire 🔥

[jade gust]

There are still more linear levels but they're not the sole focus of Infinite's campaign

[normal owl]

Shadows is giving the same Wow as Origins but in a completely different flavor, if that makes sense: every other moment, I feel like I am finally in a true re-created iconic scene or slice of feudal Japan.

[fossil pollen]

Fun Fact: spaghetti is plural. A single one is called a spaghetto

[harsh tide]

ima stay away from infinites campaign then, im not really intersted in an open world halo game like that, thanks for helping

[jade gust]

I'd say try it out anyway, it's a really fun experience regardless

[waxen rose]

I only liked it because of the main characters
The Weapon was funny imo like yes girl weeeee

[harsh tide]

but iont got gamepass, nor do i really wanna pay for it

[obsidian wyvern]

the open world is a pretty bad open world as well lol

[molten pelican]

Feels lonely tbh

[harsh tide]

like hogwarts legacy, or worse?

[molten pelican]

No wildlife or anything, I don't feel the hype I do with the other halo campaigns

[waxen rose]

the marines are so silly
You ask for a tank and half the time it drops on one marine that was standing in the way💔

[obsidian wyvern]

that stuff is funny ngl

dodging into a splatter

[molten pelican]

No no definitely worse, completely different game tho I can't compare them a whole lot

[waxen rose]

“Let me hop in sir!” and then they have me waiting 3 minutes for them to pathfind their way over to me💕

[fossil pollen]

Fun Fact: the biggest number isn't infinity or omega, but ℵ₀, which stands for aleph noel.

[molten pelican]

That feeling of invincibility when you get a rocket guy on your tank tho

[waxen rose]

I will purposefully give my marines rocket launchers bc their ammo is infinate

[molten pelican]

Infinate

[waxen rose]

Like… halo infinate….

[drifting osprey]

🤨

[waxen rose]

I hate thinking about master chief technically being 49 years old…

This old guy has gotta go

[harsh tide]

okay so the game is extremely barren and has nothing in it then

[molten pelican]

It has missions and outposts to clear, it's not the most interesting in terms of immersiveness tho, I would do your own research on it

[waxen rose]

The Marines make it worth playing trust

[harsh tide]

is the flood in it? and the covenant, i did not like halo 4

[waxen rose]

The flood has been dead since halo 3…

[harsh tide]

why would i play if no flood

[drifting osprey]

The flood was so goated

[waxen rose]

I miss the flood too

[drifting osprey]

I haven’t played in a while, did they get completely eradicated?

[fickle drift]

Someone hasn’t played HW2

[trim saddle]

Ive played some boring RPGs with open world settings and Halo Infinite has them beat by far.

[waxen rose]

I WOULD RATHER END MYSELF THAN PLAY HALO WARS LMAO

[harsh tide]

halo wars was so amzing

[trim saddle]

Then again I managed to enjoy every halo made even though theyre all different 🤷🏻‍♂️

[waxen rose]

Almost but they're still kicking. Just not at the size as before halo 3

[fickle drift]

Why??

[waxen rose]

I personally do not like playing games that are in the play style as Halo Wars

[fickle drift]

I have never played either halo wars games

I religiously play the other games except for 4 and 5

I've never played the halo wars ones tho

[trim saddle]

I grew up on Command and Conquer and Halo so i was GEEKED for Halo Wars.

[waxen rose]

Its mostly a game you gotta try at least once but it depends on if you wanna keep playing it after

[trim saddle]

Starcraft was fun as heck too

[normal owl]

Carrier has arrived.

[harsh tide]

bro CC is so fire, love that game

[jade gust]

Because the Flood threat has been dealt with, and in the aftermath of the Human-Covenant War, warlords and ancient aliens have risen up in an attempt to wipe out humanity or subjugate the galaxy

Not every story in the Halo universe needs to focus on fighting space zombies

[silk beacon]

Ew flood

Giving me ptsd just reading that

[fickle drift]

Thank you

I wish more people thought like this

I actually like a lot of 343s ideas they just suck at execution

[harsh tide]

the flood is the only good part about reach 1,2,3 basically every good halo game

[fickle drift]

That's rage bait.

[harsh tide]

it isnt, its my opinion

[jade gust]

The Flood wasn't in Reach

[fickle drift]

wym the Flood were really fun to fight in Reach smh

So fun they weren’t even present

[fickle drift]

Oh that too that went right over my head lol

[harsh tide]

yes they were, am i stupid or miss remembering

[fickle drift]

So I guess reach just sucks

Finally someone based

[jade gust]

Reach is about the Covenant invasion of Reach from the eyes of Noble Team, at no point do they go anywhere where the Flood could be found

[fickle drift]

Flood was discovered in the mission 343 guilty spark in halo ce

[fickle drift]

They are in ODST Firefight now in MCC

Best iteration as well imo

[jade gust]

They don't even leave the planet in Reach (Minus Six and Five to go destroy the Long Night of Solace but they stay within Reach's orbit)

[waxen rose]

Me when the flood totally shows up in halo 5

[harsh tide]

ohhh yeh, you are right, my bad, miss remembering

[fickle drift]

Hot take but the level cortana on legendary is fun to me

[jade gust]

I'm so glad it didn't

[waxen rose]

Cortana suddenly starts hiveminding the flood ontop of everything else

[fickle drift]

I can’t remember who but someone is adamant about a level with Prometheans fighting the Flood and that sounds like the most godawful enemy lineup possible to me

[fickle drift]

🤣

[steady wagon]

I'm buying a orginal xbox just to play halo 2 again

[waxen rose]

Who is gonna tell him….

[fickle drift]

Only reason to get og halo 2 is for the original Breaking Benjamin vocals that they removed from mcc

[steady wagon]

All I need is a hdmi converter

[jade gust]

See, the Prometheans, I 100% think would be fine with a few tweaks (I think Halo 5 had the right idea with the breakable parts but then made everything a little too tanky). The Flood though, they kinda have the issue of if you change too much about them, they're not gonna feel like space zombies anymore. Which also applies to the Flood and their goals, it kinda can't change unlike the Prometheans

[fickle drift]

I’m just not big on either, wholeheartedly

[waxen rose]

If I had to fight the Prometheans and Flood at the same time I think id end myself
(then a guardian boss fight right after)

[jade gust]

Good thing a Guardian is kinda impractical to have as a boss fight

If anything, it'd be the focus of an entire level, where you're scaling the thing to kill its power core

[fickle drift]

Plus 7 warden eternal boss fights 🤣

[waxen rose]

MY LIFE? ENDING.

[normal owl]

That's why I'm excited about my Infested Prometheans idea: use the two to make a new twist.

[waxen rose]

Flesh and metal hell yeah!

[silk beacon]

Are applications for staff ever open here? :]

[steady jolt]

No, we don't do an application process

[silk beacon]

Oh ok.

[steady jolt]

Halo Studios reach out to people if they're ever looking for extra help

[silk beacon]

INteresting. Ok! Ty for the info :3

[harsh tide]

why you edit that from 343?

[steady jolt]

Muscle memory. They're no longer 343

[harsh tide]

what, when they rename from 343?

[steady jolt]

Months ago

[silk beacon]

Oh

I'm living under a very, very large rock.

[steady jolt]

[silk beacon]

Keeping track of waypoint is such a faf 💀

[meager linden]

A lot of people asking about it, so why not?

[meager linden]

If only that thing will stay, but he moving to unexpectedly

[waxen rose]

I need halo studios to come out with a halo ring pool floaty please because it would be cute

[jade gust]

Nah, we need a Halo ring bug zapper first

[fossil pollen]

guess who is back

[silk beacon]

Hello 'Guess who'

[fossil pollen]

back again

[steady jolt]

They also put it out on their socials, including here. There was a YouTube video about it

[waxen rose]

I can finally get rid of the bugs that crawl out of hell every spring in a fashionable way! (flys and mosquitos)

[safe dawn]

Bro you havent seen the gnats where I live 💀

[waxen rose]

They must get zapped too

[safe dawn]

Amen

[fossil skiff]

I wonder if Jeff Steitzer uses his halo voice when killing mosquitoes

I won’t lie, I do it if nobody is around sometimes

[molten pelican]

Honestly what's the point of having aegis around if we have an aegis 2

[fickle drift]

What about aegis 3

[bold sail]

Where the aegis reach and aegis 4?

[night crystal]

aegis 5 just came out

Whats the fastest and easiest way to level up a battlepass?

[meager linden]

Also what about aegis 1(Halo Wars 1)?

[meager linden]

Firefight

[night crystal]

Damn, i just finished like 5 matches amd they all ended after first round

[hasty zinc]

true

https://tenor.com/u0Vw9oaZlaW.gif

[meager linden]

On the first days when classic firefight are been released, you can get with boost 6k battle pass xp

[silk beacon]

We have like 200 aegis 2s

I WANT IMAGE PERMS

[meager linden]

I don't know what now, did they fixed it or not, but it's true

[silk beacon]

[faint mantle]

New ain't always best

[fickle drift]

Never

Ig there is only one aegis 2, but there are dozens of aegis knockoffs.

Idk who's the real one at this point.

[meager linden]

Real Aegis is purple

[molten pelican]

My goodness I hope not

[stuck wind]

I have no idea why but I prefer halo 1’s MP over 2 and 3s

[waxen rose]

Time to start voice training so I can have his voice!

My inner monologue was Steve Downes for months after I played every mcc game back to back

[night crystal]

Lol fr

[candid solar]

Somehow this made me think of getting the distraction medal at like the worst times

Like, narrowly avoid a car accident and the car behind you gets hit or something

[waxen rose]

HELP LOL?

“Wow that bird was cool looking” my inner master chief monologue says and it scares me every time it happens

They changed the way passes work that update.
After a pass expires, you can no longer buy it, and all free items will go to the Exchange, and all payed ones will go to the store

Not many ppl are super happy with it, but it's what they did

The Sturgepon

[glass crest]

[waxen rose]

Well… welcome LOL

[silk beacon]

Lol ^

[waxen rose]

I was trying to draw halo 4 master chief but gave up because his armor was too chunky (back to basics: CE)

[rare cedar]

H2/3 best armor

Don’t @ me

[lilac pagoda]

Is there a Doom Slayer skin in Halo Infinite? I would definitely buy it lmao

[cedar turret]

I think Kevlar would work better

[silk beacon]

Wdym?

What's the discussion here o.O

[silk beacon]

There are pieces of armor alike it, but no doom-themed armor yet.

[lilac pagoda]

Ah alright cool!

[silk beacon]

Maybe hazmat, but I've never played doom so...

[waxen rose]

Not pointy enough… must be low polygon and silly!

[floral pollen]

The Eaglestrike core with the right parts is the closest we have to Doomguy
But there's no official skin/cosmetics for him in game

[meager linden]

Good morning Spartans

[rocky thorn]

welcome

[glass crest]

thank you sir 🫡

[floral pollen]

Welcome in!

[lilac pagoda]

Ahh I see. I appreciate the info!

[floral pollen]

Np

[fossil pollen]

guess whos back

back again

bob is back in town!

[fickle drift]

Slim Shady's lurking spitting in your onion rings

[night crystal]

Not my onion rings

[lunar night]

Why no one is updating the wiki?

https://halo.fandom.com/wiki/Halo_Infinite

[jade gust]

Halopedia is the go to Halo wiki

[lunar night]

Oh okay thanks you

[lunar night]

When they stopped working on the fandom?

[faint mantle]

Fandom was never the real Wiki, Fandom is an attempt of a wiki by some individuals that fell short.

[cyan loom]

hello

[granite flint]

Wish there is going to be another season

[meager linden]

Is it possible to get advanced needler on Halo Infinite campaign without wasp?

[stuck wind]

You know

You think that they would find some tech to increase a AIs 7 year lifespan post covenant war since they don’t have to worry about them anymore

[normal owl]

RIP to one of the greats 🙏

[signal wedge]

sorry the laws of thermodynamics say they can only live until 7

[oak ibex]

Good afternoon

[weak elm]

yo is it still worth playing halo in 2025? coming back after YEARS (almost a decade) of not playing halo

[steady jolt]

Yep, I'd say so. Still a very fun game

[meager linden]

Worth

Also i just bought halo infinite campaign on Xbox app

[night crystal]

Nice

[molten pelican]

today?

I actually own a george foreman, lovely piece of hardware that

[cedar turret]

rephrase that please

[fossil skiff]

O.o

[stuck wind]

I got the campaign through game pass

[meager linden]

I know, but since in next month will be first anniversary when i started to play Halo, i decided to buy it

[normal owl]

Sadly yes

[jade gust]

I imagine it's something humanity is trying to figure out but at the same time, just because you have people working on solving something, it doesn't mean they'll immediately have a solution. It's not like the first plane flew on the first attempt

[stuck wind]

You know

To be honest after the banished I have no idea what the next chapter in Halo’s story will be

[jade gust]

Well the Banished being a major threat to humanity isn't over yet. Not to mention the Endless is another thing for humanity to deal with

And that's not even talking about other Covenant splinter groups which are still out there, or remaining Created AI still trying to do what they're doing like Sloan

[molten pelican]

Have you seen the movie they made about him? I might check it out

[molten pelican]

The griddle thing.

[median sundial]

des fr ?

[stuck wind]

But they could kill off atriox in a book like they did with didact and warden eternal

[jade gust]

They could kill off anyone in a book

And Atriox is more beloved within the community, so it's more likely he'll stick around for longer

Plus like, Warden isn't technically dead, they're just a weird entity made up of multiple consciousness which have been cut off from the Domain (With the ones in the Domain being killed by the Didact), they could easily show up again

[stuck wind]

Also I hope captain cutter comes back in the next halo game, atriox ditched him lol

[jade gust]

I don't recall those two ever dating

Unless that's what HW2 was, one big date

[stuck wind]

Not like dating more or so like rivals

And also those halo wars ads were kinda funny too
