[waxen rose]

You can be blind and still wear glasses what lol

[faint mantle]

I just spent $2.50 on ice cream and I feel like I went over budget

[blazing cave]

You should play halo wars 1 and 2 as well

[waxen rose]

She turned green when upset in ce my heart is broken

[blazing cave]

Like hell divers but different lol

[waxen rose]

The flood consumes.

[latent pewter]

Dawg I need to save some space

[safe dawn]

the plan is to sell my laptop and replace it with a PC tower atm, the xbox one ain't getting sold yet bc there's a few games that I only have for xbox

[faint mantle]

Helldivers 1

[safe dawn]

me who buys a small tub of ice cream for $5:

[waxen rose]

Helldivers 1 and halo wars my nemesis

[faint mantle]

There's plenty of space out in space

[latent pewter]

I get that, and hell yeah get a PC, I plan on doing the same once I can finally get a job

[safe dawn]

I keep forgetting there's a helldivers 1 lmao

[blazing cave]

I love Halo: Helldivers

[safe dawn]

same with titanfall

[faint mantle]

Wym small tub

[latent pewter]

I mean space on my console LOL

[waxen rose]

Space you could use playing fallout 4

[safe dawn]

like the 2nd smallest haagen daaz (I butchered this) tub there is, I just get it from the convenience store near me

[latent pewter]

Already got that, NV, and 76

[safe dawn]

idr what the size is off the top of my head

[blazing cave]

Bro then you can play halo 5

[safe dawn]

what

[waxen rose]

I low-key gotta start playing 76 🪨

[faint mantle]

Is that more or less than this ball of ice cream?

[waxen rose]

MORE

[latent pewter]

I need to save space for Helldivers cuz IDK how big it is, and google can't give a straight answer

[faint mantle]

It was delicious btw

[waxen rose]

The flood consumes you

[safe dawn]

more I'd guess, I have no clue how big that ice cream is lmao

[faint mantle]

There's no way you're going to know the space of a game that has not released yet.

[blazing cave]

It’s not that big, average size 👍

[faint mantle]

unless the developers reveal the size and they haven't.

[latent pewter]

So 100 GB?

[safe dawn]

my ability to gauge relative size from a picture is nonexistent unless there's something I know the size of in it

[latent pewter]

I can estimate based off of the size of it for PS and PC

[latent pewter]

Same

[waxen rose]

They… PlayStation and Xbox download games differently…

[latent pewter]

But Google says that it's 25 GB, but it also says it's 100 GB

[faint mantle]

Then just make an estimation based on the PlayStation size and add an error margin of 10% for good measure.

[safe dawn]

yes but the file size would be similar because it's all the same assets

just give a margin of error of ~5-10GB

[waxen rose]

Im going to glass you

[safe dawn]

not if I glass you first

[waxen rose]

You're on

[safe dawn]

running to pull a Jerome and Isabel from halo wars 2

[blazing cave]

For halo, it’s worth it

[safe dawn]

we're not talking about halo????

[latent pewter]

Just looked it up on Edge and it says 100 GB. I can do that

[safe dawn]

also helldivers better add an ODST-like armor set

[latent pewter]

They better, I'd buy that up FAST

[blazing cave]

Can we make a clan in helldivers?

[safe dawn]

like it's an opportunity that is quite literally pointing a gun at the head of their universe (someone please get the joke 😭 )

[blazing cave]

Call it Helljumpers

[latent pewter]

Also we got someone interesting in my looking for group post, only need like 6 more people LOL

[latent pewter]

I actually joined a team ahead of time

[safe dawn]

ngl if I ever get something that can run helldivers, I'm 100% going to get my halo clan leader to let me make a helldivers branch

[south sundial]

Hello

[latent pewter]

Please do, so many people would love that

[latent pewter]

Yo

[south sundial]

How are you

[latent pewter]

Good, just waiting for people to join my looking for group thing to do some CE multiplayer

[south sundial]

Awesome

[latent pewter]

Trying to complete Spartan training ya know

[south sundial]

Cool

I have beat every halo game I love the Bungie but 343 halo 4 and 5 sucks

[latent pewter]

Got another person interested, probably gonna wait for 1 more dude and then gonna start it

[faint mantle]

Y'all ever go to the gas station, roll down the window, and catch the smell of some sweet sweet taco stand nearby? 🤤

[latent pewter]

There's like no taco stands where I live sadly

Though there is a I believe puerto rican food place in a gas station near me

[faint mantle]

I've yet to taste what the boricuas have to offer

[latent pewter]

The what?

[blazing cave]

lol

[blazing cave]

Native Puerto Ricans

[latent pewter]

Ah I see

[blazing cave]

A lot of Puerto Rican food is usually fried and I love it

[faint mantle]

Idek if there's puerto rican here

[latent pewter]

IDK why but I wanna see if you can fry a pizza like a fry, and I seriously have no idea why I do

[faint mantle]

Maybe in Ciudad de México

[blazing cave]

I would destroy a fried pizza lol

[latent pewter]

Same

[blazing cave]

Where I live it’s dubbed Little Puerto Rico

Lots of puerto Rican’s

[latent pewter]

The only puerto rican I know of that lives near me is my big bro's gf

[faint mantle]

Found the stand, but they lied to me, they're selling burgers

[latent pewter]

Can you get a burger?

[faint mantle]

correction. My nose lied to me.

[fickle drift]

Can you get me a hot dog

[south sundial]

Where is that at

[faint mantle]

Nah, I already had ice cream today, so no more eating for the rest of the day.

[safe dawn]

damn it y'all talking about puerto rican food and now I want empanadas XD

[fossil skiff]

mmm I haven’t had an empanada in so long

[latent pewter]

I meant for me, I hungy constantly

[safe dawn]

like I rarely eat any kind of hispanic food but now you got me wanting some

[faint mantle]

Oh
No

[safe dawn]

probably why I get called a fake puerto rican by my dad bc I don't like beans very much lol

[latent pewter]

Man all of this food talk making me hungry, and I had 2 chicken breasts and a lot of noodles like 3 hours ago

[safe dawn]

altho ~15 years of rice and beans as the main dinner food does that to you

[latent pewter]

dang

[waxen rose]

No flood icecream? Not worth visiting.

[fickle drift]

Hungry frog

[safe dawn]

I don't think anyone wants flood ice cream

[meager linden]

https://tenor.com/view/toph-avatar-the-last-airbender-good-morning-good-morning-chat-earthbending-gif-25548056

[safe dawn]

that sounds disgusting and I hate my brain for imagining it

[waxen rose]

Merty does he literally had it an hour ago

[latent pewter]

Dawg I'm hungry constantly and I eat as much as I can, but I'm still skinny as hell

[faint mantle]

Speak for yourself

[waxen rose]

Smh dont disrespect on the flood icecream

[safe dawn]

I gladly will

[latent pewter]

It is the opposite of morning for me it's 9:57 PM for me

[safe dawn]

you think I'm dumb enough to disrespect something that almost wiped out the universe?

[safe dawn]

hey we in the same timezone

[latent pewter]

EST?

[waxen rose]

almost and its coming for you next

[safe dawn]

yep

[latent pewter]

Nice

[safe dawn]

nuh uh

[fickle drift]

You are so lucky

[waxen rose]

yuh huh

[latent pewter]

Dawg Imma toothpick, wdym I'm lucky?

[fickle drift]

Morning wade

[safe dawn]

I'm never hungry and barely eat but somehow I don't get any skinnier and am (mostly) not malnourished

[waxen rose]

“But somehow”

[latent pewter]

You're the exact opposite of me

[safe dawn]

I also don't lose muscle mass despite not working out, which is slightly concerning and tells me I should work out more lol

[waxen rose]

The work outer

[safe dawn]

oh no we're the same amount of skinny trust me

I can count my rips without trying and most of the contour of my skeleton is painfully visible through my skin

[waxen rose]

I quell my food cravings with black coffee

[latent pewter]

Can you wrap your hand around your wrist perfectly?

[safe dawn]

yes.

[waxen rose]

That's...😨

[safe dawn]

my watch literally slides down half of my forearms lmao

[latent pewter]

Yeah we're probably the exact same type of skinny

[safe dawn]

I just don't eat as much lol

[latent pewter]

I need to eat more

[safe dawn]

same

but like desperately

[latent pewter]

Same

[safe dawn]

bc my idiot self wants to go to the military XD

and I got like just under 2 years before I plan to go

[latent pewter]

My idiot self wants to work out, but I ain't got the fat to spare to burn

[safe dawn]

real

I should work out, bc then i'd be hungry enough to eat more, but my dumb self just went all of today on some lemonade, a cinnamon bun, a pack of yodels, and some pound cake

altho tbf I did wake up at like 10am

[fickle drift]

Me who goes to the gym everyday

[safe dawn]

I don't even have to go to a gym, I have the stuff to work out at home

I just don't do it 😭

[latent pewter]

I had toast, a totino's pizza, and what I said earlier

[safe dawn]

damnit now I want pizza

and now I'm actually hungry... at 10 pm 😭

when both of my parents went to bed already

[fickle drift]

Slacker

[waxen rose]

Amen brother
I just started T and I look so manly im so extremely happy rn

[safe dawn]

yes.

[fickle drift]

Awesome

[latent pewter]

Good for you, dawg

[waxen rose]

The transition goals are goaling rn

[latent pewter]

Bruh one of the dudes backed outta my post cuz of the description

[latent pewter]

muscles are muscling

Eh screw this I'll do the multiplayer another day. Imma go play Marvel Rivals

[waxen rose]

Praying a beard comes in (or at least stubble)

[safe dawn]

elaborate?

[safe dawn]

as a guy who's been waiting for his beard to beard for the last ~2 years, you're better off waiting for a moustache

besides the sideburns that I have no clue when they showed up, my moustache is the only really apparent facial hair I have lol

[waxen rose]

I really want side burns like really bad

Not the nasty kind the handsome rugged kind

[waxen rose]

Me twisting my moustache in a very evil manner

[safe dawn]

ngl I just don't want mine bc they act like an extension to the rest of my hair and make it a pain in the butt when i have to make my braid

[safe dawn]

good luck getting it that long 💀

took me the entirety of 3ish years to get to this point lol

[waxen rose]

Give it to me then. You have smthn I want.

[safe dawn]

you gotta wait 2 years, I'll donate my hair to you when I gotta shave for the military

[waxen rose]

I messed up the cut we gotta go bald

#español

I assume thats spanish anyways

[waxen rose]

I only know English, Russian, and German and thats not a single one of them LOL

[safe dawn]

I know english, I can read russian cyrillic a bit(I'd be better if duolingo didn't make their learning system pay to win), a tiny bit of japanese, and a bit more spanish than I do japanese, but I can't speak the spanish i know

[waxen rose]

I hate you new duolingo

[safe dawn]

fr

duolingo went from being simple and easy, to the point where it was actually fun to learn hiragana and katakana for japanese, to now it's a pain bc if I screw up 5 times trying to learn something NEW (with japanese this is going to happen alot bc they decided china was a good place to base a writing system on) I can't do anything for hours

[waxen rose]

I've always hated their ‘lives’ feature

god forbid im not good at something as soon as I start learning it thx duo

[safe dawn]

their "lives" feature didn't even exist until recently afaik, it made learing japanese even harder (not impossible bc I already had a foothold) but it just about made learning russian impossible

like, I didn't know that not being able to guess the syllables of an english-like language on my first try meant that I couldn't do it at all

english is hard enough, and I still don't know everything after 15 years of speaking it, and I'm supposed to be able to do a new language within 5 tries on my first few minutes of learning it???

[waxen rose]

I only learned English bc of old warrior cat and halo role-plays on roblox
Duolingo didn't do its job LOL

[faint mantle]

So we went from food to buff to words?

[waxen rose]

Unless you wanna talk about the flood icecream again

[safe dawn]

to be fair at this point I'm about one more "oh no you screwed up a language you don't speak at all so now you can't try for like 3 hours so goodbye motivation again" from asking one of the random russian speakers on war thunder to teach me russian

[waxen rose]

Russian speakers teaching Russian is a good way to learn Russian ngl

[faint mantle]

Yeah, I don't like that it's only available at the ice cream store. They have 1 liter presentations for a lot of flavors but peanut butter isn't sold in 1 liter

[safe dawn]

only issue is I have to do it while flying a russian plane or I'll get called an "American (insert russian slur)" bc war thunder

[meager linden]

"Flood ice cream"
Wth is that?

[safe dawn]

you missed a convo lmao

[waxen rose]

Peanutbutter Icecream is made out of trillions of flood parasites obviously

I work in the flood icecream industry, I would know this

[safe dawn]

trillions is a bit much tbh

[waxen rose]

Okay but millions most be joyous over icecream

so they eat the flood icecream faster causing a demand for more

[safe dawn]

idk man, the idea of flood ice cream already weirds me out and I haven't had peanut butter as anything besides a pb&h sandwich in years

and the only ice cream flavors I like are vanilla and cookies & cream

and on a random note- when did & lose it's top loop?

it still has the top loop on my keyboard

[obsidian wyvern]

get with the times

[safe dawn]

generic war thunder response voice Never!

[balmy pagoda]

Peanut butter is the best

[safe dawn]

meh

It's not terrible

I used to eat it with carrots, but then I realized I apparently have a very mild allergy to carrots, which I forget about bc I never eat carrots

it does literally nothign besides bother my lips and make my throat itchy

[balmy pagoda]

I'll eat or drink anything with peanut butter

[safe dawn]

same with avocados, but I actually like avocados, so I ignore the allergy

[quaint kettle]

Cutting that life span short eh

[obsidian wyvern]

idk what's worse, having carrots with peanut butter or being a warthunder player

[safe dawn]

what, salted avocado tastes good

[safe dawn]

I enjoy flying planes, that's how I kept my sanity playing war thunder, but I finally poked my head into ground lmao

[balmy pagoda]

I know I said I love anything with peanut butter but carrots? Really?

[cedar turret]

What about 20 year old fermented beet juice with peanut butter?

[safe dawn]

it's not that bad

actually was quite good from my memory of it

[balmy pagoda]

Never tried it

[safe dawn]

my mom still eats apples with peanut butter (when we have apples, which is rarely)

ngl we need more fruit in the house, but fruit is expenisve

[cedar turret]

A peanut butter and chihuahua sandwich?

[balmy pagoda]

I've gotten into a (playful) fight with my friend over Reeces

[obsidian wyvern]

this is why I should stay asleep at 5am

you guys are on something else

[shell hull]

[balmy pagoda]

Sounds like the perfect hour for caffeine

[waxen rose]

Millions must enjoy flood icecream

[safe dawn]

lol

[waxen rose]

Sudden starbucks craving kicks in

[quaint kettle]

Honestly im surprised you are not a native english speaker

[safe dawn]

bro it's almost 11pm and I'm hungry

I'm this close to making some toast and getting yelled at for it

[waxen rose]

Me?

[quaint kettle]

Ye

[safe dawn]

to be fair I've found that non native english speakers somehow end up with better english than native speakers

[balmy pagoda]

Don't tempt me lol I will drive there

[quaint kettle]

We get lazy with it

[safe dawn]

there is a reason I came up with "English is my first language, not my best language" lol

[waxen rose]

Alot of warrior cat role-plays on roblox will do this and writing wattpad stories (half joking but also I had alot of tutors in middle school bc I was in the sped program bc they didnt understand I was non-native)

[quaint kettle]

Lol

Reminds me of my mom, she didnt speak spanish but they put her in other classes because they thought she was

[waxen rose]

Wattpad seriously helped me learn english i’m being honest.

[safe dawn]

ngl I missed out with the warrior cat roleplays lol, when I got into warriors I wasn't playing roblox much, tried to find them on hypixel but those were unpopulated asf when I was on

[safe dawn]

so what I'm hearing is go find russian wattpad stories and spend some time with google translate

[waxen rose]

LMAOOO

I was fiending on them english halo wattpad stories so much I learned the english lexicon

[safe dawn]

I mean I have a whole damn cyrillic keyboard that I typed up a damn manual for but I literally never use it bc I don't know enough russian and I can't be bothered to learn a new keyboard

[waxen rose]

Warrior cats mountain territories on roblox RAISED ME🗣

I own all 110+ warrior cat vooks

[safe dawn]

bro you just reminded me of the one roblox rp I frequented, I checked in on it a few months ago and it was dead 😭

[safe dawn]

and there's the russian bleed through lmao

[waxen rose]

I have tint fingers and make mistakes

[safe dawn]

B = v but v does not = B

[waxen rose]

That's if I speak it not type it

[waxen rose]

This is so sad my heart is breaking

[safe dawn]

ngl I think the biggest issue I have with russian is dissociating the letter that makes the R sound from P

well biggest issue reading it anyways

ignoring the fact that I can barely pronounce anything

and the soft and hard sounds screw me over more

[waxen rose]

reading Russian I hate I prefer verbal communication and totally not bc im slowly forgetting how to read in my naitbe language

[safe dawn]

bro did not take the advice to go find a russian podcast or listen to russian music

[waxen rose]

I love Russian music

[safe dawn]

oh, well reading it is simple, go buy a russian book

or play war thunder long enough to run into a russia based russia main XD

[waxen rose]

I would make a joke about reading halo in Russian but the recent halo books kinda buns (reading level wise it isnt a challenging read)

[safe dawn]

speaking of books in other languages lmao, I have two books in croatian, that are books I would definitely read the frick out of BUT I DON'T KNOW ANY CROATIAN LMAOO

[waxen rose]

LMAOO

google translate image feature to the rescue

[safe dawn]

and it's not a langauge worth learning fo rme either

[waxen rose]

Id rather learn Hungarian

[safe dawn]

not even bc it has what I'm 90% sure is a made up langauge based with croatian

so I'd have to learn the damn alphabet for croatian, to translate like 5 things

like bro I can't be asked to do allat

[waxen rose]

You cant catch me doing all that work 🗣

Atp listen to the english version audio book or read the pdf

[safe dawn]

it's not that kind of book unfortunately 😭

it's a book thats got the style of the halo encyclopedia

so there's no dang audiobook that would make sense for it

let alone I don't think there even is an audio book version of it

and hunting down the PDF is NOT a time I am down for, I already had to hunt down one light novel PDF, I ain't doing allat again

[waxen rose]

Praying for the pdf

[fallen echo]

Pls halo 3 anniversary

[worldly venture]

Nope!

This halo ce remake might be fire

Ik they're not happy with the product but neither were the devs on halo 2

[valid portal]

idk man
it's a complete coin toss in the air of whether it'll be amazing, decent, mediocre or bad, with how inconsistent their quality has been

[meager linden]

It's not CE remake
Forget it

[rocky thorn]

What do you think it'll be

[meager linden]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rocky thorn]

It might be halo 3 anniversary if they plan on releasing it in 27 but probably not

if we're gonna go there fine then

it's going down now - persona 3 or something

[worldly venture]

Will it? It's not even confirmed

[rocky thorn]

Multiple leaks but grain of salt

It's def not halo 7 thats for sure

It can't be anything like really new cause weren't they looking for a creative director

[worldly venture]

Well until there's actually visual proof of it existing, I really dont buy it

Its all just mouth and rumors

[rocky thorn]

[clever monolith]

best halo in your opinion?

[rare cedar]

[obsidian wyvern]

[clever monolith]

for me its

idk why it was so tiny lol

[obsidian wyvern]

because it's nothing compared to 3

[clever monolith]

personal preference

halo 3 would be my fav if halo 4 wasnt my first ever halo

[meager linden]

Halo

[clever monolith]

valid

[obsidian wyvern]

yeah that's not an answer wade

you have to give in, pick one

[still hare]

Halo

[meager linden]

They all good

[clever monolith]

except 5

we dont speak about 5

[still hare]

And 4

[clever monolith]

nah 4 is peak

[still hare]

Beginning of the end

[clever monolith]

halo studios had such a good thing going with 4. there was some spots they could improve but then they ruined it all with 5

[still hare]

I don't think halo 4 didn't have any good ideas but they didn't execute it well, not enough to redeem it.

I don't think they really had a good thing going yet, ai and gameplay loop blowed and the artstyle, while by itself I admit I like, applied to halo makes it less

[worldly venture]

[still hare]

Halo 5 campaign wise yes sucked but multiplayer was closer to halo than 4 ever was

[valid portal]

my biggest problem with 4 was
the multiplayer kinda sucks
can't say much about the campaign because I still haven't played the campaign but I've played the multiplayer

[still hare]

Infinite is kinda there

[clever monolith]

i get why people hate 4. i couldve hated it if i was into halo during the bungie to halo studios swap but its honestly my fav. i have alot of nostalgia with it and the story was amazing. it was great how they explored chief and cortanas humanity. and the didact was 🔥

4 had some.. weird multiplayer. it was good, but not halo

[still hare]

Oh you hurt me so

[clever monolith]

3 is the best multiplayer and i want that written on my gravestone

[still hare]

When was the last time you fully played through 4

[obsidian wyvern]

🥱

[valid portal]

the art direction change with 4 felt like it hurt enemy readability quite a bit, whenever I watch someone playing 4

[still hare]

Yeah very 2010s muted colorscheme

[clever monolith]

replaying it rn. havent played it in a while but ive watched lore overviews and youtube playthroughs

[still hare]

You should play it again, see if it holds up still for you

[clever monolith]

still does. halfway through it rn

[still hare]

Ohh I misread

[clever monolith]

been playing stalker 2 and fallout 3 and rdr2 alot so havent gotten around to it

[waxen rover]

i have to say, popular choice, reach

[still hare]

Idk I didn't grow up with halo so I don't have a nostalgic preference for any

[clever monolith]

i have mixed feeling about reach

[still hare]

Why's that

[clever monolith]

it was a great game in the game series, but it in the halo universe sucks to me

[valid portal]

2 and 3, but it took me nearly 17 years to get to them

[clever monolith]

fall of reach was amazing

i loved halo reach since i was a kid, but when i read the books i got so upset at the missed potential

[still hare]

I haven't gotten to look at anything outside of the games yet

[clever monolith]

you should

[still hare]

Is it different than the book?

[clever monolith]

yes

[valid portal]

I've only read fall of reach and it's quite good
I never finished it though but it's genuinely great

[clever monolith]

alot different

fall of reach takes place with almost everything being in space. and blue team is in it the entire time

[valid portal]

and also Keyes is there

[still hare]

iirc a lot of bungie employees at the time didn't enjoy the novel so when they got to tell their story they must've wanted to make their own in-studio story

I wish more games where off shoots without chief

Bringing him back and back and back makes him a little less cool each time for me

[valid portal]

same

I get he's the face of the series but the original trilogy ended in 2007, not really much more story to tell with 4 as an exception ig?

[still hare]

Halo has a huge world, lots of potential. Why I love reach and odst especially

[clever monolith]

i agree. ik the games are about chief but its kinda annoying now. stick to different storys without chief cause his was already told

[clever monolith]

odst 🤤

[still hare]

What do you think of infinite, if you've gotten to it?

I haven't finished the campaign

[obsidian wyvern]

0/10

[clever monolith]

i played it. it was mid

chief and cortana was good, but thats it

[still hare]

Damn

[clever monolith]

multiplayer was fun af tho

[still hare]

(that's me with 4 haha sorry)

[clever monolith]

dropped 200 hours into that game in a year

[still hare]

Maybe leans a bit heavy on nostalgia

[valid portal]

I still haven't played the campaign but
the multiplayer is solid but I don't stick to it and also firefight options were very limited last time I played
and also me not being a fan of the monetization scheme

[still hare]

I like them having a unique style still

[clever monolith]

chiefs armor was sooooo tuff

[obsidian wyvern]

still annoyed they swapped the "we need to fight" line to "I need a weapon"

[still hare]

Not that I dislike tue designs at all though

[clever monolith]

best armor in the series

[still hare]

Something about it is weird to me but I don't know what honestly

[clever monolith]

love the mix of 3 with a more modern design choice. looks like if halo 3 came out in the current age

[rare cedar]

I geeked out when he said it, so I’m happy

[valid portal]

I do think the art style in infinite nailed it
looking at campaign footage, the variety of environments looks heavily limited

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean I get it but like, the other line was just as good and it's own thing

[still hare]

The open world is another thing though, it's just the ce level halo for a lot of hours

What made me stop

Boring

[valid portal]

I always thought the open world was at least somewhat optional, in a similar way of how nfsmw05 did it's open world, which was completely optional
I've never played campaign so I could be misinformed

[still hare]

Also still the whole Cortana thing from the reclaimer series annoyed me so it didn't help

Story wasn't gripping enough ig, had a prejudice against what it was continuing to begin with

[clever monolith]

unpopular opinion but i do not like combat evolved

story? pretty good. i give it respect for being the og and changing the aspect of fps games, but i would rather play 5

[floral pollen]

Fellow CE disliker detected

Ngl, I'm not really a fan of the og trilogy, just as games
The story is good, but imo the games are meh

[clever monolith]

ce was butt, 2 was meh, 3 was amazing

the jump from 2 to 3 when i first started was crazy

then it was all peak after

then it went down with reach

back up with 4

then down with 5 and infinite

[floral pollen]

Honestly
2 was prolly my fave of the OG trilogy specifically
But Reach, 4, and Infinite are my fave games

[clever monolith]

goated opinion

4 is my favorite game of all time

it was my first halo, and what got me into fps games. aside from titanfall being my first ever video game

[floral pollen]

Infinite was my first game
CE was my first campaign
And I'm pretty sure Reach was the first game I saw anything about, back when I didn't even know what Halo was rly, and I just loved the asthetic of it

[clever monolith]

respect

best halo is the halo 4 king of the hill mountain dew promotion mobile game

[clever monolith]

lmao i see this video all the time. the massive amount of button presses were so the 360 could load the next part of the level in those 2 seconds

the 360 wasnt powerful enough for halo 4

same reason why gears 3 has so many door opening scenes and waking scenes

[balmy pagoda]

Okay but Gears 3 was actually good

[clever monolith]

wasnt debating gears 3 just saying why the 360 had so many short weird cutscenes

[balmy pagoda]

I know lol just felt like being a smart alac

They should've just launched it on the Xbox One

[clever monolith]

mcc

[balmy pagoda]

No I mean originally instead of rushing it to the 360

[clever monolith]

halo studios wanted to give out their first title on the 360 since halos entire community was on the 360. alot of people didnt buy the xbox one when it first came out cause it sucked

[balmy pagoda]

That's a fair point

[clever monolith]

and so they could release mcc for the xbox one since it was the entire series which meant marking a new generation

[balmy pagoda]

Took me quite awhile till grabbed an Xbox One. And it wasn't until the One X and One S came out

[clever monolith]

i didnt have an xbox one till i was older cause i was poor lmao

halo 4 was also in production since reach came out so they probably didnt even know about the one coming out before halo 4 released

[balmy pagoda]

There just want any drive for one since it felt like a media device and not a gaming device at first.
Then all these games came out and I eventually gave in

[clever monolith]

i had the og xbox one with the big ol brick. but my dad stole it so i got the battlefield xbox one s's when we had money

[meager linden]

Hello there
Which situation in Japan currently?

Halo 4 wasnt optimized enough for the 360 😄

[steady jolt]

[iron flower]

[idle plume]

old

[empty sable]

I'd argue halo 4 should have launched as an Xbox one release title.

[icy dune]

They would’ve had to wait a year, and you know how patient Microsoft is

[steady jolt]

From memory, that's what the studio wanted to do but MS wanted one more 360 title

Yep, was originally pitched as an X1 title
https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/02/27/halo-4-originally-pitched-as-xbox-one-launch-title-ign-unfiltered

[candid tusk]

Checks out. 360 was not the platform to use for Halo 4, so of course Microsoft would insist that it is. Another year in the oven would have been great, especially on stronger hardware where weapons wouldn't need to be blipped after three seconds.

[blazing cave]

Cant wait to play Halo 4 again when I do a campaign run of all the games before the next Halo game releases

[naive spindle]

I will forever stand by that it should've been a Launch title for the Xbox one 😤 maybe the story wouldn't have been so messy imho if they had the extra time to flesh things out better Humaniziting Chief was nice and all but it didn't come off as good as I wanted it to be ie: should've been aware of Rampancy, and shouldve been ready to let Cortana go even when he didn't want to

[indigo lotus]

Always wonder on a what if scenario on had Halo 4 came out as a launch title for the Xbox one.

[meager linden]

Damn it
I wanted to do something important, but as always i forget it
My memory for sure has some serious gaps

[fathom trellis]

Yo

So I heard apparently a girl in my school is planning a Halloween party (my friends told me this so I dotn know ) and if it’s true and I get invited , low-key might have to get a masterchief costume

[drowsy coyote]

I’m pretty sure halo 4 was made and told exactly how 343 wanted lol

Not like the game looks bad either, it’s honestly still beautiful.

When they were available... We had a minor oreo problem in our household.

I've never had a better Oreo and I fear I never will.

Same story for the smokehouse pizza from little caesars. That thing was hitting way out of it's league.

[obsidian wyvern]

Cadbury Oreo is Oreo at its best

[candid tusk]

Do they have a cookie version of it though?

[obsidian wyvern]

I think they had flapjacks, idk about cookies

YouTube is rolling out AI in the US to detect if users are actually under 18

It ignores the stated age and applies restrictions to users it suspects are teens

X · Jul 30, 2025, 11:23 AM

[meager linden]

What
This is actually useless

I wonder how even AI can recognise users that they have 18?

[normal owl]

The only good false positives will be those who keep making immature comments on videos lol.

[meager linden]

I heard kids in UK passing some kinda lock, can't tell which program, but they used false face from game or from site

[candid tusk]

A couple thousand indicators based on user fingerprinting. Videos watched, attention span on videos, commenting, likes, quality of those comments, how the user follows trending videos or not. Lots of ways to bucket a user.

[pliant hatch]

sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

[candid tusk]

This user exclusively watched Coco-Melon and Roblox videos, they're probably in the "younger than 18" category. This user watching weedwhacker recommendations, definitely "older than 18" category.

[faint mantle]

That's my dad's cousin lending her phone to her 5 year old because she can't be a parent

There's that too, unfortunately.

Not a simple panic either, I'm sure.

Metal Gear 5, Metal Gear 4, Metal Gear Ground Zeroes, Metal Gear or whatever that weird zombie survival one was, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Mercenaries Playground of Destruction, Mercenaries 2; World in Flame. Honestly, gameplay wise, it's hard to find anything Halo and Helldivers have in common beyond... Uh... having energy shields? I guess?

[obsidian wyvern]

government banned it because it was used to organise protests or something

I've been very angry these last few days.

[normal owl]

Yeah they had to spend millions to clean it up and build a giant underground storage reservoir to capture rain runoff that would normall flow directly in, then had to go door to door requesting residents to hook up their sewage to the sewer system vs drainage into the Seine.

[lapis ivy]

Croissants and cappuccino sound good tho

[normal owl]

But towns upstream without that capability can still be a source of rain runoff that takes hours to get through Paris.

I think Reach's version of the Security helmet looks kind of bad, and that Halo 3 had a way better version of it

[lilac sphinx]

I heard from someone that regardless of the new games coming out that infinite will still be the standard multiplayer

That would be nice

[thorny briar]

What like how call of duty does war zone?

[lilac sphinx]

I guess so

[blazing cave]

Infinite's multiplayer is really great

[lilac sphinx]

I just wish above all 343 still worked on MCC

halo 5 and Xbox mods would be chefs kiss

[steady jolt]

MCC support would be cool, but at 10+ years of being active it's had a good run. Not many games get the level of support it's had

[thorny briar]

If they’re going to keep infinite as the main multiplayer and we get the flood in the new halo are they gonna put the flood in firefight?

[blazing cave]

Flood in Infinite would go insane

[lilac sphinx]

It just seems like right as when things got really good for MCC they dropped it

Like MCC is genuinely great

Other than a lot of cheating going on in PC lobbies I heard

[copper swallow]

343 please please please
make it so the ai can use the mutalator and new carbine shown off for the new operation
i would love to see some elites, brutes and jackals runnign around with the new carbine and some brutes runnign around with the mutalator

[granite sky]

eenext game

[analog knot]

I would settle for maintenance aka not letting things fall apart. It would be unfair to expect it to be actively developed forever, but not broken feels different

[analog knot]

This is intentionally exaggerated to try to get it fixed - most people can play all day every day and never match cheaters.

[blazing cave]

cant wait until 2030 🥹

[worldly venture]

If only

That means they'd have to make new reload animations

[candid solar]

Pretty sure brutes actually can use the Mutilator.

Y'all were missing out on that Spartan Chatter, it was nice.

[lapis ivy]

I was in it

[steady jolt]

That was awesome

[candid solar]

Well obviously if you were there you weren't missing out on it, silly

[worldly venture]

That was sorta short

[indigo lotus]

I was in for brief second

[lapis ivy]

But it was more of a book or something

[candid solar]

I think the technical issues did make it feel a bit trunicated.

Which, I mean... C'est la vie, and all that.

[lapis ivy]

(Drinks Arizona watermelon flavored juice)

Instead of cactus juice

[candid solar]

I did like how much audience engagement was happening, tbh.

Always nice.

[lapis ivy]

I just ordered this Rawlings R9 series catcher's mitt from Amazon and arrived very early and the price was good too supposedly 80% factory broken in but it feels stiff

[candid solar]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little proud of myself for the one-man freaky friday quip.

[cedar ridge]

Hi.

[hasty zinc]

wait that was today??

omg I thought it was tomorrow 😔

[rough thicket]

i started playing it recently(ish) and I'm really really liking it ngl, it also helps that im okay at the game somehow

[lilac sphinx]

Yeah I’ve always liked the multiplayer, I’m just wondering what’s the longevity of infinite gonna be like

I don’t have much time to play now a days like I used to so I’d rather invest in something that lasts

[rough thicket]

I was wondering that as well when i dropped 20k rewards points for a cool armor bundle i saw 😂

[lilac sphinx]

Yeah bro I got a lot of rare stuff on infinite but haven’t played in 2 years it would be a shame to see it go soon😂

[rough thicket]

but honestly, i feel like it might tbh, even if a new game comes out in a few years, i feel like infinite should stay around for at least a bit

[rough thicket]

thats wild bro, all i got is 1 twitch drop, a 7.5k spartan point color, and a few effects that costed 1800 credits 😭

[lilac sphinx]

Bruh I have some armor coating that I guess goes for $1000 now on eBay???

I swear to god I’d never pay that 😂

[rough thicket]

bro nahhhhhh

i js have shiny blue and thats all i need, theres no need for all that 😭

[steady wagon]

All we need now is the classic Plasma Rifle

[jagged forge]

What gamemode do I play to complete the score master weekly challenge?

[blazing cave]

the final challenge of 5000 score?

[jagged forge]

yes

[blazing cave]

you can play any game mode

[lilac sphinx]

Does 343 still do community play dates on MCC?

Or is the unicorn MCC emblem just a myth now

[jagged forge]

I've been doing quick play and it does not show any progression on the challenge after I complete a match

[blazing cave]

thats weird

reset game maybe??

[worldly venture]

Yea you gotta do that or go to campaign

[pliant star]

hey guys, suspect discord user (1373071853047910451) wrote me with the name "Halo" and a recycling symbol after. wants to give a prize and account is 2 month old. dont trust the scam. just want to warn u.

[analog knot]

It has been a very long time. I don’t remember the last time I even saw them mention MCC outside of the couple of “recent” bug fixes.

[lilac sphinx]

That’s a shame for real

I have ice unicorn on infinite, would be cool to get it on MCC

[analog knot]

Oh you know what in that HCS Announcement they did mention H5 and MCC getting side event money still but it was a bit vague (intentionally I’m sure)

[lilac sphinx]

Yeah i just saw that earlier and was kinda confused

[vagrant kettle]

YES
FINALLY GETTING TO WATCH HAPPY GILMORE 2

Yeah no problem bro, I got 3 of my friends to get on halo after a while and I had to share that link 3 times 😂

[mortal topaz]

[rough thicket]

Yeah the first one doesn’t work

We couldn’t find anything in steam settings for the browser

[mortal topaz]

yeah me neither

[rough thicket]

Yep, but what matters is the game works 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[lilac sphinx]

How many spartan points do y’all think hayabusa will cost when it comes back

[north token]

Hello everyone

[north token]

Are u a sonic fan?

[fickle drift]

💀

[vagrant kettle]

Nah I think he’s a Mario kinda guy

[waxen rose]

Everyone knows Luigi is the better brother

[north token]

Waluigi SOLOS

[quaint kettle]

Ew, waluigi

[north token]

Okay wario

Hes cool right

Or at least better than waluigi

[quaint kettle]

No

[waxen rose]

Wario is NOT cool hes STINKY

[waxen rose]

Waluigi is buns outside of his color scheme
I only have an iota of like for him because he is purple

[simple kindle]

HES AWESOME DUDE 😔

WE yes WE love bro

[waxen rose]

We as in you and the Voices

[simple kindle]

WE (yes me master freak and the voices) all love wario

[waxen rose]

DO NOT INCLUDE ME IN THERE

I am warios number 10 hater

[verbal nymph]

What's your opinion on the Halo 4 campaign?

[fickle drift]

It’s great

[verbal nymph]

I agree

It would've been a great conclusion to Cortana's character if Halo 5 didn't exist

[safe dawn]

only good thing related to wario is his mario kart wii map

[idle plume]

Mario is stinky

[waxen rose]

Mario is a crook

[calm bone]

hello??

[clever monolith]

how would yall like an offical halo vr game?

personally i think 3 would be great in br

vr*

[calm bone]

hi um I new to the sever so yeah

But no worries I’m a diehard halo fan

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Max and I am 17 years old and live in New York USA. Allow me

glad to be here I suppose

[clever monolith]

whats your favorite halo?

[calm bone]

Halo infinite what about yours?

[clever monolith]

halo 4

[calm bone]

Is a halo four because of Cortana

[clever monolith]

lmao no. cortana was a great character in 4 tho

[calm bone]

Oh, OK. No, that makes sense.

[clever monolith]

its my favorite cause it was my first halo game, and i love how they explored chief and cortanas humanity. and the didact was just aura farming the whole time

design choice couldve been better tho. same with mp but i forgive them for that cause every game was trying to be cod in 2012

[calm bone]

Honestly, you do got a point there the first halo I played was actually the master chief collection from start to finish, but then when infinite came out I kinda liked that more just the mechanics you know

[calm bone]

got a point

[green crown]

Hey guys, so I havent played halo infinite in almost like a year. Is it worth getting back into?

[safe dawn]

hey a fellow person from the state of bad traffic

[safe dawn]

imo yes

[clever monolith]

mp is a no unless you play like an e sports veteran every match. singleplayer ig if u like it

[safe dawn]

there's a new update on august 5th thats being rumored to bring back the covie carbine in a new iteration and (supposedly, although I'm not sure how much I trust it) the falcon, so you're coming back just in time

[safe dawn]

that's really not how it is lol

if you want an easier time play doubles, there's usually more than a few new people playing doubles

[calm bone]

hello

[clever monolith]

Everyone talks about it. No one plays infinite anymore so the rest of the dying fan base are just people who’ve been playing halo infinite 24/7 since release

[calm bone]

Sadly true

[safe dawn]

so, your issue is that to get into the game you have to get good?

thats... literally the same issue you will have with ANY game

[calm bone]

For me im a casual

[clever monolith]

Not just “get good” I mean you have to be REALLY good. Especially in casual. People play like it’s ranked on casual

[safe dawn]

any FPS shooter you will have issues with when you walk into a pre-existing fanbase

[safe dawn]

you really don't

I'm a dead average player and I do just fine

[calm bone]

mhm

[safe dawn]

hell I've even been getting better lately (despite not playing very much because of life issues)

[calm bone]

so do you guys wanna introduce yourself or not yet cuz I already did that

[safe dawn]

ngl the only reason you'd have a bad time is if you let learning the game be a giant wall to climb over instead of a 1 foot tall garden "fence" like it really is

[clever monolith]

Most of the player base are sweats. I’m not bad at halo, I’ve been playing mp since 4 and I’m great at most fps games but I see posts on Reddit all the time of people saying how sweaty infinite is and they’re right. I played infinite like 24/7 until 2023 and I recently went back to it and it’s just a sweat show of people playing like they have their life on the line

[calm bone]

Got a good point

[safe dawn]

I'm Primus, I won't leak my age or state, but my timezone is US EST

[calm bone]

Nice

[safe dawn]

you do realize people usually play to win right?

like what else are you expecting?

[candid solar]

People willingly losing I wager.

[clever monolith]

Yes, but the fact that people are so sweaty on casual is crazy. I was just saying you have to be pretty good if you want to have a fun time on infinite mp

[safe dawn]

if you want to just goof around check the custom game browser (Yes it exists, no one uses it and everyone forgets about it and it pains me because they continue to make the same complaints about "sweats" in casual)

[clever monolith]

I play mcc multiplayer and dominate. It’s just the infinite player base

[safe dawn]

it's not sweat it's literally just playing the game how it's supposed to be played, and trust me, casual is NOTHING compared to actual ranked

I say this as someone who plays ranked a good bit, ranked is infinitely more sweaty than casual, it just feels less sweaty because of the gun in your hands

the MA40 adds what feels like sweat becuase of the fact that it favors being more aware of your surroundings and actually picking up different weapons to supplement/replace your starter loadout

[hasty zinc]

Dang @normal owl, you have to keep up!

[safe dawn]

I keep forgetting people besides me use duolingo here

[hasty zinc]

Currently on a 295 day streak, I'm proud of myself

[green crown]

I absolutely expect sweats in any games its gonna happen lmao

[safe dawn]

I'm barely holding onto my 1 year + streak in duolingo because I found a loophole in japanese (there's a kanji lesson you can do in sub 30 seconds)

[safe dawn]

you do realize that you're one of the people that mcc players would complain is a sweat right?

that's literally the exact same issue as infinite has

if I wanted to walk into MCC and start playing the social modes (anything that's not ranked) I would suffer because the main people who play are people who have been playing since it's launch

[green crown]

i dont think there is a competitve game that doesnt have sweats

[safe dawn]

I also find it confusing how people forget that just because a mode isn't ranked, doesn't mean people will still make winning their highest priority

[idle plume]

i prioritise smacking enemies with vehicles

sometimes teammates get. in the way

[vagrant kettle]

That would be me

[green crown]

I was just curious if it was still at least fun to play for an hour or two since I havnt played in so long

[idle plume]

I probably ran over a few teammates before

[vagrant kettle]

Also me

I get betrayed all the fricken time

[safe dawn]

I'd say yes, hop into a round of doubles and you'll probably get thrown into a decently balanced match, probably for some reason it likes throwing me against people with 10 matches total, but this goes back to the issue of infinites matchmaking system struggling because of low player counts

[blazing cave]

Come play ranked with me

[safe dawn]

I really wouldn't recommend going straight into ranked

[blazing cave]

Aww man

[safe dawn]

spend some time in fiesta first perhaps to get an idea of what the new weapons do

[blazing cave]

Nah do btb

Really hype

[green crown]

if i do dont expect me to pay for the chriopractor bill from all the carrying you would be doing

[safe dawn]

and bear in mind it looks like we're getting another weapon, which I just realized means a new set of weapon tunings unfortunately

[safe dawn]

I find that hilarious because I literally got physical back pain after carring my teammate in doubles with 18 kills (he got one kill towards the VERY end of the game) I had like 5 deaths total

actually i have the match saved lemme check it

[vagrant kettle]

Probably me lol

[blazing cave]

My back 👴

[green crown]

that would be me i would be friend with 1 kill lmao

[safe dawn]

I went 18 kills 8 deaths, the score was 19-17 😭 (we won by time, but I would've gotten the last kill anyways)

[fickle drift]

It’s yogi bear

[green crown]

prepare for life long chronic back pain

[green crown]

hey booboo

[vagrant kettle]

I’m more of a go-for-the-objective-and-die-trying kinda guy

[safe dawn]

yeah I can see that

[fickle drift]

Where is the Pic-a-nic baskets

[calm bone]

wow I don’t know what time it is over there, but I gotta go lol so glad to join the server and wish you guys a good day or night and yeah bye

[next musk]

[green crown]

same. I may have the most deaths but ill have the highest objective score

[vagrant kettle]

You stay away from my picanic baskets or I swear to god I

[safe dawn]

you're (unfortunately) the kind of person that gets complained about a lot, everyone complains that "no one goes for the objective" but everyone forgets that we're all too busy trying to fight our way to the objective

[green crown]

iu stole them

[vagrant kettle]

Oh 100%

[green crown]

you wont do anything

[fickle drift]

And you didn’t share with me

[green crown]

you arent boo boo or cindy bear

[fickle drift]

🗿

[safe dawn]

you see his pfp? he's clearly got a anti tank missile launcher in the back seat of his truck

I don't think bears can take anti tank missiles

[green crown]

ive got plot armor

[vagrant kettle]

Nah it’s not bear rated.

[fickle drift]

Yogi bear is gonna be nom nom
