“THE UNSC KILLED MY GRANDMA OKAY???”

[ember mesa]

a hero for the Covenant or the Banished

which automatically makes it a target for any UNSC troops.

[burnt olive]

At that I won't be surprised if I see someone asking for things like assault/engineer/support/recon classes, completely destructible maps, bipods, carrier raid modes, and whatnot to be added in Halo.

...at that rate, I smell feature creep.

[obsidian wyvern]

hero for the covenant
banished from the covenant

[waxen rose]

We all know a true hero is Undyne the Undying

I had to cash in my undertale reference for the day

Haha just kidding! I cant blame you

Halo 2 is great yea

[waxen rose]

H2A graphics is where they clean the shoe

[unique cobalt]

Don't blame yourself too much if you can't H2MP the way top players did it back in the day

Lotteria always had my back whenever the shops were closed or I was at a train station with too many people there lol... sometimes it was a McDs or a KFC.

Either way, SK pretty much had their footing with fast food...

I MISS NOBLE 6 😭😭😭

[jade gust]

Ignoring the person who made that for the moment, why would you want them to ruin the ending of Halo Reach?

Like, Reach as a story does not work if Six survives

[meager linden]

Heroes still alive while everyone remembers them

[halcyon mica]

So Six can be brought back and killed again in a book, but in a meaningless and unceremonious way

[jade gust]

Yo six survived in a cave in Reach trust (coping 😭)

[molten pelican]

Coping for over a decade now

[molten pelican]

Where's the ramen

[elfin inlet]

Look one of these days he is going to show up in a book showing he is alive just like jun (he is truly dead)

[molten pelican]

Where is jun canonically rn, didn't he appear in a comic after the events

@candid solar

[elfin inlet]

We don't know probably was either on infinity before it was abandoned or on the spartan training station I forgot the name

[worldly venture]

No he appeared at the academy

Him and Rosenda

[elfin inlet]

Oh I forgot about that

The last two noble team members

[worldly venture]

Yerp

[candid solar]

What desireddream said, yeah.

[worldly venture]

Hey I did NOT edit my name

They got me

[indigo lotus]

Yes. Jun did appear in comic. After the war he became head recruiter and trainer for the Spartan 4 program.

[rare cedar]

At the ramen store

[molten pelican]

Ah

[molten pelican]

Naturally

[frosty siren]

Is there headlight fluid and elbow greeze there?

[obsidian wyvern]

that was ages ago

the training station he was at got blown up in infinite

and then this mf still survived

[frosty siren]

Plot armor moment

[frosty siren]

Didn't he also survived me thown out in the vacumr of space for some time?

[obsidian wyvern]

dunno

wouldn't be surprised

[frosty siren]

Halo: New blood

Granted chief was in the vacuum for like 9 months

[jade gust]

It was never confirmed he was on the station at the time of it being blown up

[frosty siren]

Is there such think as a icepack phone case?

[jade gust]

And judging by him suiting up in Mjolnir again thanks to the Waypoint Chronicles, I imagine he must've decided it was time to come out of retirement

[frosty siren]

I bet he was on when it blew up, just to aura farm LoL

[halcyon mica]

As of September 14th, we've been coping for 15 years straight! 🥳

[jade gust]

Maybe. But my bet is he saw what was going on and decided he needed to be more proactive in fighting against the Created, leading to him stepping down as a trainer and recruiter for the S-IVs. Unfortunately Leonidas decided to blow up the station while he was away

[frosty siren]

I wonder if Leo wanted to originally blow up the station but he cared about jun to much to do it sooner

[jade gust]

Given how they present it to us, I doubt it

Like, we see Leonidas get given the order and almost immediately destroy Laconia

[frosty siren]

Cus in bad blood he could of killed jun but put him in a medically induced coma

Guess it's not medically induced lol

But was induced lol

[jade gust]

I imagine there was likely a reason for Leonidas keeping Jun alive during Bad Blood, my guess is intel

[frosty siren]

I wonder thoe... after they freed jun from his coma why didn't they delete Leo thoe

[jade gust]

Unknown

[frosty siren]

Cus isn't as simple as removing an chip or did Leo just fragment himslef then

Welp school

[waxen rose]

Put Jun back in his coma!!!🗣

[signal wedge]

the chances are never zero!

the latest lore drop proved it!

Im playing mcc on a switch controller on pc feels weird.

[fleet sigil]

Did this for years haha, until last year I decided to buy an Xbox controller and gamepass fire stick bundle hahahahah

[noble wyvern]

Cus all my xbox controllers have like a broken button or stick drift.

[waxen rose]

Your should sell your stick drift controllers on eBay with the caption “slightly used” LMAO

[obsidian wyvern]

I've only ever had one of my Xbox controllers get drift

and joycons are joycons so

[waxen rose]

The joycon may drift but with power and perseverance you may prevail (and not buy another $60 set)

[fleet sigil]

My girl bought a total of 6 pairs of joycons cause of drift. Like just give up lmao

[obsidian wyvern]

I switched it off the uh

gyro controls in mario kart after someone's suggestion and my joycons haven't drifted since lol

that was after getting the replacement though, which they do for free

[waxen rose]

Olivia you joined the fortnite server as well as this one, welcome!

[waxen rose]

Thinking about how Jun is so buns at his job and couldn't stop the banished Spartan(forgot her name) from raiding his crib or whatevah

Slack will not be cut for Jun
Jun haters: rise

[candid solar]

It's a training facility, it's not really built to be defended against multiple dreadnoughts of troops. The plan was likely to ditch and scuttle facility no matter what attacked it in force.

[waxen rose]

Slack will continue to not be cut for Jun

[jade gust]

It wasn't Jun's facility and he was only on the ground after the Banished invasion was already well on its way

[waxen rose]

I was exaggerating when I said the crib was his

For dramatic effect you see

Im usually on it a lot

it really is super dumb

but tbf it is your first time being introduced to forerunner structures in the series

[pliant hatch]

she could've easily said looks like this structure has passages to the interior of it or something like that and it would've sounded better.

[terse blade]

When he was interviewed for the autography that released this month, he stated that he “never liked film music very much”, because of it's very limited nature and attachment to another piece of work. He also believes that thinking film music has place alongside canon works is a misguide thinking. He believes film music is “fragmented” and “ephemeral”, and unworthy of concert hall unless arranged specifically for a concert.

He also believes that, when a film music turn out to be good — which it often doesn't — it is still remembered fondly mostly because of its association with the picture and nostalgia rather than inherent artistic value.

He thinks film scoring is often a job.

I genuinely thought, him being a film composers, he'd naturally defend film music, but he didn't. I like that he is bold with his opinion, I don't nescessarily find myself disagreeing with his notion.

You might want to read this, @blazing idol.

[obsidian wyvern]

why would you wish for something like this

[manic lake]

the work around to open infinite isnt working anymore bleh

I think I saw a reddit post about HS being aware of the xbox app bug

[blazing idol]

Yeah, I heard about this

[naive turret]

I disagree with his notions, and I think it’s a shame such an influential composer has such a view of his and that of others in the field’s work. The best scores, whether they be film, television or video games, stand on their own and often outshine the work they’re tied to.

That’s like saying background artists don’t make gallery worthy works, or stop-motion armatures aren’t fit for public display.

[terse blade]

It's important to remember that Williams's comments have often been misunderstood or sensationalized, and he is not bitter or ungrateful about the art form or his career. He appreciates the impact and the audience's connection to his music and maintains a complex and respectful stance on film music overall

I remember late great James Horner's quote “you are just a fancy pencil”.

[terse blade]

He is not dismissing his work or his colleagues works, he is speaking about broader problem with hollywood scoring.

[naive turret]

It’s certainly a ‘speak for yourself’ take.

[terse blade]

There is more nuance to it I didn't fully capture, please read the article: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/aug/24/composer-john-williams-never-liked-film-music-very-much

[raven ermine]

Hello

[terse blade]

I disagree. A lot of film music can have the potential of being actually great if not for their inherently fragmented nature, which, in essence, is what Williams is talking about.

[naive turret]

I’m at work currently but I’ll give it a read later.

[scarlet shoal]

Is 15 dollars a day for food too expensive?

[obsidian wyvern]

I pay like £3 for a whole meal at work it's a pretty good deal lol

[terse blade]

I must say, your second part is a misconstrusion of what Williams was actually trying to say.

[obsidian wyvern]

a lot of film music is also just good

[naive turret]

Well let me read the full context when I’m able and I’ll get back to you how about that

[obsidian wyvern]

I mean you didn't give much context from what I saw

[terse blade]

Not really. There are tons of film music releasing every year.

[obsidian wyvern]

so?

[terse blade]

I did though.

[naive turret]

The quote you posted implied scoring is viewed as ‘Jobbing’ which I take exception to.

Then you narrowed it to Hollywood, which even then

Dual of the Fates is scored for one scene and evokes the themes of the Prequels better than any of the writing does.

[terse blade]

Yes, Imperial March can work outside Star Wars, but it lasts about... 4 minutes. Star Wars main theme is iconic, may work as seperate entity from the films, but again, it's quite a short musical idea.

[obsidian wyvern]

a ton of music is released in general, there isn't good music? I don't understand the point

[scarlet shoal]

I spend 15 dollars a day on family size stouffers Salisbury steak, 2 bags of rice and brocolli. I get a total of 1350 calories.

78 grams of protein.

Feels like it is too much money per day?

[obsidian wyvern]

if you feel that way

[scarlet shoal]

Reduce it below 10 bucks?

[naive turret]

So like any piece of media across all of creation then

[obsidian wyvern]

lol this discussion is a whole lot of nothing then

[naive turret]

Isn’t the old quote something like 90% of everything is trash

[obsidian wyvern]

if you think that of music in general then why single out film music. makes no sense

[terse blade]

You can certainly say so, if that's the what you extracted from this whole interview as opposed to what he was trying to say.

[obsidian wyvern]

I am also at work so haven't got time to read the article, I'm going off of what you're saying

[terse blade]

This is about film music.

[scarlet shoal]

Most music is trash to most people.

You just gotta find your niche.

Not all music will satisfy everyone.

Especially not pop or film music.

[naive turret]

I’m of the opinion that film scores produce some of the highest quality music available currently.

[scarlet shoal]

Whether it sounds better is subjective. But you can say the structure is more coherent.

Which can lend towards higher quality.

[terse blade]

That's... one way to derail the conversation.

[scarlet shoal]

True.

[wide elm]

Hello

[waxen rose]

Not a film but I really enjoyed it when NIИ was on walking dead
Best score ever
Please put more NIИ in your tv shows/movies

I say that like h8 makes all the movies ever
(maybe he does and my conspiracy is true)

[terse blade]

I, personally, believe great film music can transcend it's orginal limitations and reach the concert halls. But I can't help but wonder - what if film studios could give composers a little more time and freedom to create a score that's more than just 'functional' — but rather fully fledged out musical ideas that come together to entertain its own audience.

[waxen rose]

If the Undertale OST can reach concert halls
So can you, Halo Fall of Reach: The Movie

[terse blade]

I've heard Outer Wilds score is quite good.

[waxen rose]

Obviously the score is good
It’s an Indie Game/lh

[valid portal]

spark the electric jester trilogy I put quite high there in how much I like the soundtrack of them, especially the first 2 games
although it doesn't got an emotional factor when compared to outer wilds ost or undertales

[waxen rose]

Undertale ost in orchestra form (or regular) got me SOBBING
Its just so peak

Deltarune chapter 3 orchestra cant compete

Is it evil of me 2 say the only halo ost that is memorable (2 me) is combat evolved

[valid portal]

the final boss track for spark the electric jester 2 is
oh my God it's good, probably because of my bias towards anything resembling butt rock/post grunge rock or crush 40 but still

[waxen rose]

Its just… its just so peak

[valid portal]

I swear brazils indie scene got 2 ends of the quality spectrum

on the crappy end, Berkan Denizyaran, creator of hunt down the freeman

and then there's Felipe Daneluz, creating a trilogy of platformers, solo developer aside from hiring composers for the soundtrack. Third game delivering everything I've ever wanted from a speed platformer / sonic-like. and he is now creating an fzero revival

[brazen abyss]

does no one play infected on mcc?

[normal owl]

Might get in treble (don't throw me off a clef for this): was tempo-rarily absent from Discord today so I'm making what might turn out to be bass-less claims. No matter our differences, I think we're in one a-chord that soundtracks can be note-worthy experiences on their own (except for children's games, e.g. those that are-PEGI-8).

[valid portal]

what makes a good soundtrack in my eyes, can heavily vary

[waxen rose]

Indie in general is a beautiful spectrum
Like an ecosystem
You've got your majestic birds
And the ugly toads

[worldly venture]

Yea

[normal owl]

but what about in your ears, which is where you hear the soundtrack?

[valid portal]

I was considering making that joke

[waxen rose]

Listening to undertale soundtrack so often im going deaf/lh

[valid portal]

I don't really mind the soundtrack as long as it fits the mood of the level or stage
but the excellent ones really stand out, or are amazing enough to be great songs out of the games context
some develop or reveal a characters personality (mgrr, spark 2 and I think guilty gear?)
some dynamically change depending on your situation (portal 2, the chase music in nfs most wanted 05)

[valid portal]

Spotify still seems like an awful song ecosystem to invest into
what's to say they make a terrible decision down the line but you don't want to lose your 3000 song playlist
and you can't keep any songs if you leave the ecosystem

[trim saddle]

I mean, theres apps for that issue.

[valid portal]

what does that even mean

[paper oak]

Exactly

Spotify is worth it tbh

[trim saddle]

there may or may not be apps that let you borrow the audio files, you just have to promise to give them back after youre done.

[paper oak]

How do you guys discover new songs???

[valid portal]

Bandcamp, iTunes and steam's OST category lets me download songs in their purest DRM-free form

[trim saddle]

word of mouth and spotify suggested.

[normal owl]

Like music, it's all just personal preference: if you enjoy the equivalent of only eating food you can grow yourself vs if you want access to all the supermarkets at any time of day. "Better" just depends on the individual.

[paper oak]

I leave my Spotify on smart shuffle

[valid portal]

and I can continue adding to my library by making digital backups of my cd library

[waxen rose]

Oh my glob he said the thing

[trim saddle]

Those are also good routes for your music listening habits.

[amber mirage]

It's always funny when people act like paying for a subscription means you can't also just purchase things outright. They're not mutually exclusive concepts.

[trim saddle]

its wonderful that there isnt a monopoly on music streaming.

[paper oak]

YouTube music?

[amber mirage]

I pay for a Spotify subscription because it's a good way to access a large library of music. If I like the song enough, I'll buy it off Bandcamp or whatever.

[valid portal]

in my case
I don't care if I'm able to buy it or not
I care whether it has any drm whatsoever or not
in other words, I'm happy if they give me the songs in mp3 320kbps, flac, aac, or wav form

[trim saddle]

i had to switch to spotify because utube is blocked on my works network.

[paper oak]

True

But YouTube music not all that bad

[normal owl]

I miss when music was broadcast the way it should be: via open chat from some rando's awful speakers through his crusty mic and into my unhappy ears.

[paper oak]

Through radios?

[trim saddle]

just go to an airport, youll hear half the peoples phones. Or anywhere in public.

[normal owl]

Was making a joke about multiplayer lobbies with open chat: invariably there was some rando with music on in the background.

[paper oak]

I only remember radios

[paper oak]

FR

[normal owl]

and their most intimate conversations/arguments. Truly an x-ray of the human experience.

[paper oak]

When they blast a random song

[amber mirage]

More power to you. But if your goal is to discover more music that approach can get pretty expensive pretty quick.

[paper oak]

They play nice music sometimes

[trim saddle]

its near enlightening to share such deep conversations with the general public.. even if they arent aware that theyre sharing.

[valid portal]

second hand market is quite an effective way to obtain music cheaply, and you can make a digital backup of that CD

[paper oak]

And even then, a streaming subscription is almost always going to be cheaper at getting you more access

[amber mirage]

I think that also applies

[valid portal]

sure it might be
but I'm especially skeptical of Spotify
and also I can't deal with monthly payments because of my inconsistent income
and id rather slam pans together and scream than listen to ads

[amber mirage]

Income is fair enough, but Spotify isn't all that different from the other players in the space.

You can subsititute Spotify for whatever other service

[trim saddle]

I cant remember where but I get spotify premium for free with it

[naive turret]

It sounds like a cool place

I got a mamaw and a grammaw

[waxen rose]

I got a Nana
No more gramma

my Nana says being called gramma makes her sound old

[misty shard]

I had a Chihuahua and if you called him gem gem he looked fat

[waxen rose]

LOL

[misty shard]

but if you called him gremlin he looked skinny

[waxen rose]

When I think chihuahua I think abt those Beverly Hills chihuahua movies

Don’t Forget To Check Out My idea For Halo Mcc Update https://discord.com/channels/471722331820130324/1418592490893738136

[worldly venture]

We will forget

[normal owl]

[waxen rose]

Ts pmo holy cow

What happened to “whoever dances the coolest gets a free xbox”/j

[naive turret]

You just reminded me of the Xbox Wheel of Unfairness

[paper sun]

The dumb MS AI suspended my rewards account. So I can’t use the points to buy things

[normal owl]

Went back and found out that I paid $250/XSS on 11/21/2024. Guessing it was a Black Friday Period sale. If at retail $300 then, that would be a 33% price increase in 10 months.

[waxen rose]

holy moly cow

[faint mantle]

I think imma keep my PC

[waxen rose]

Atp if I wanna play on a console I just gotta use my imagination 😭

[normal owl]

Maybe I should sell the unopened XSS

[waxen rose]

Sell it for 1 billion giggle bucks

[paper sun]

The series X was down to like $450

[faint mantle]

**Scalper detected. Commencing elimination. **

Dang formatting

[normal owl]

It's tragically hilarious that the published price increase would constitute a normal scalping premium.

[amber mirage]

Sell it for above what you paid but below the new MSRP

From scalper to profitable good guy

[waxen rose]

Omg that reminds me of the shop at my mall that was run by scalpers and literally no one bought from them so they went out of business within 4 months its so funny

[normal owl]

rated PGG

If I sell it for $375 that's a $25 discount for the buyer and 50% profit for me.

[waxen rose]

Profits📈

[granite sky]

line must go up

[hybrid plover]

glad i got mine years ago

[vagrant kettle]

Definitely not getting a new Xbox now

[valid portal]

that is ridiculously close to the PS3 launch prices
at least the PS3 had the excuse of being overbuilt and feature bloated (4 front USB ports, 3 card readers, PS2 hardware built inside of it, wifi, Bluetooth and HDMI for 2006, etc)

[waxen rose]

Ps3 god of war edition>>>>>

I guess 399.99 feels alot more expensive now though imo
Between ps3 of yesturday and Xbox s of today

[valid portal]

I heard that despite the high price of the launch PS3
it was still being sold at a loss like most other consoles

[waxen rose]

That's sad
At least ps4 boomed

[valid portal]

the PS3 sold very well, late into that generation because of the later variants and slim being cheaper I believe?

[waxen rose]

New gen slims being more expensive breaks my ps3 heart

[unique cobalt]

hello

[valid portal]

I find it depressing how multi year old consoles are getting a price increase, a price that's comparable to a console that was ridiculously overbuilt and was basically a supercomputer for its time

[waxen rose]

Right????

[valid portal]

I built a PC for a cheaper price than the original series X price
although to be fair I already had the GPU, SSD and ram
and got a second hand CPU, a ryzen 5 5600

[waxen rose]

I went to target the other day and saw a ps5 going for almost $800 bucks (because some upgrades or smthn) and I nearly had a heart attack
Then I went “it looks good right where it is” LOL

[hasty zinc]

yeah the GPU is a big part of the price, if you didn't have that you would probably be way over console price

[valid portal]

I invested in a cpu upgrade instead of a gpu one because cpu would be cheaper, and also I would benefit quite heavily from it

GPU needs an upgrade too but I'm not suffering from gpu bottleneck too hard with the kinds of games I play

I went from ryzen 5 1400 to ryzen 5 5600

[hasty zinc]

you having most of the parts of a PC already kinda nullifies the "cheaper than a console"

[waxen rose]

Grandpa aren't you supposed to be asleep

[valid portal]

I still got a Rx 570 4gb vram

[valid portal]

while fair enough
from my perspective and situation, it's a steal compared to buying a next gen console

[waxen rose]

Next gen console? Heh i think ill stick to my ps2

[hasty zinc]

it's not even next gen, it's current gen lol

[valid portal]

my mind is stuck in 2022

[waxen rose]

The most current im gonna get is ps5 (I just HAD to get one to play Stray)

Love Stray its a magical game

[hasty zinc]

stray is also on PC 😛

[waxen rose]

PSA:Everyone please play Stray

[valid portal]

my dad decided to get a Xbox series x for the family anyways
and I only used it to play a bit of sonic unleashed, until unleashed recompiled got announced

[hasty zinc]

but yeah, it's good

[waxen rose]

I dont have a pc grampapa

I have a gateway laptop though

[hasty zinc]

that's a PC silly

[waxen rose]

She cant run roblox without leaking black goo

[hasty zinc]

oof

[waxen rose]

She might have a little damage… only a little

[valid portal]

my question is
are arm based handhelds considered PC's?
I would call a steamdeck a PC (because it's x86 64 bit based) but I'm skeptical about calling arm based handhelds that aren't locked down out of the box, a PC

[hasty zinc]

steamdeck is def a PC

[waxen rose]

Arm based handhelds made me think of the pitboy from fallout

[valid portal]

agreed
especially since it's x86

[hasty zinc]

arm devices are def PCs

I mean most things are tbf

phones

etc

[waxen rose]

My apple watch is a pc

[valid portal]

by arm handhelds
I mean by, comparable to something like the steamdeck in terms of form factor but also not locked down
which while niche, exists

[waxen rose]

My car is a pc….

[hasty zinc]

I mean really, all devices like that are PC's

[waxen rose]

Playing subway surfers on my car touchscreen while driving/j/j

[faint mantle]

ARM-based devices are computers. The only thing that changes is their way of compiling code, but by all definitions they're computers.

[valid portal]

the cpu upgrade helped a lot for modded ksp and helldiver's 2 so I'd say the upgrade was worth it

even if I'm still stuck on a gpu from 2016 or 2017

[faint mantle]

Today I played HD2 at 30 FPS for some reason and it made me want to upgrade

[valid portal]

I'm not sure if it was manufactured in 2016 but it was released in 2016, the Rx 570

[waxen rose]

2016 gpu? Heh… rookie numbers. I got 2001 gpu

[valid portal]

back on ryzen 5 1400
I was running it at 17 to 30 fps with 24/7 audio stuttering

[faint mantle]

U wanna brag or cry?

[waxen rose]

BOTH

[hasty zinc]

cragging

[waxen rose]

dont hug me I'm cragging

[faint mantle]

I want an ITX machine
But they're too expensive for what it's worth

[valid portal]

with the r5 5600
constant 40fps with the game barely using the cpu (well barely as in 30 to 50 percent utilization, with the older CPU it was 100 percent usage)
and also better thermals but that's mainly because I upgraded from a prebuilt Dell hand me down, to a custom PC, so now even if the CPU is fully being utilized, only 54C or so, which is pretty damn good for air cooling and a 30 dollar cpu cooler

[waxen rose]

Cpu this, cpu that
Just use your imagination brah

[valid portal]

I guess you could call my self esteem being upgraded too after building it and it working first try

[waxen rose]

just replace your joy motherboard

Why does it still say 343 Industries in #rules-and-guidelines? I thought they rebranded to Halo Studios.

I messaged a mod about it and I didn't get a response. I think they should change it if they're really serious about a new direction of Halo.

[faint mantle]

If you use that as an excuse to break server rules I swear...

[granite sky]

343 industries secretly owns the server... conspiracy REVEALED!

[empty lintel]

What rules would that be? I just find it strange that they haven't changed it after all this time.

[steady jolt]

It will get updated eventually, it's likely not that high a priority

The amount of legacy names still kicking round my office is hilarious

[empty lintel]

Personally I consider it a priority because perception is everything.

[obsidian wyvern]

who actually cares lmfao

[steady jolt]

It's not that deep

[empty lintel]

What was the point of the rebrand then?

[steady jolt]

It's Rules on a Discord server

[vagrant kettle]

Nobody really reads them
Plus it’s not really an advertisement

I mean I read them, but the amount of people who have to be reminded what they are leads me to believe they don’t read them

[empty lintel]

I guess that's true. I remember reading about a guy who got something like £20,000 for reading the terms and services. The company had an award to see if anyone reads them and it went unclaimed for more than 10 years. Memory is hazy but that's more or less what happened.

[vagrant kettle]

What if halo studios is actually 343 in disguise
The truth is out there

[hasty zinc]

please don't spread misinformation 😏

[desert goblet]

Hey! If you guys have sick gameplay clips! I am making youtube videos and would love to post yours on the next video!

[fringe shore]

Hey what are the skulls for the Halo 3 ODST Laso run on MCC?

[naive turret]

They’re visible in the menu I’m sure. It’s all the same as H3.

[fringe shore]

Alright can't find fog though

[naive turret]

I mean you don’t apply them manually if you’re going for the achievement

Has to be one of the two playlists

[fringe shore]

Oh alright thought you had to do it manually, and yes I'm going for the achievement

Thanks

[fringe shore]

So the legendary Master Chief saga doesn't have ODST and Reach so what's the other one?

[obsidian wyvern]

?

you don't want to do that playlist lmao

you do the individual laso playlist for each game, not the combined one

[waxen rose]

Oh my glob its SANS UNDERTALE

[obsidian wyvern]

with 3odst, there's 2 laso playlists, one with Mombasa streets and one without

obviously pick the one without it unless you just want to suffer

[naive turret]

Basically this ^, you’ll want the playlist specific to each game as they’re what the associated achievements track.

[fringe shore]

I don't see those Pacific playlist though

[naive turret]

If you saw the Master Chief Saga playlist that’s the wrong place, you want the playlist in the ODST tab, not the Crossgame Playlist tab.

I’d screenshot but I’m busy merc’ing Tyranids atm

[fringe shore]

Ooooh I didn't know there was a separate playlist tab

[naive turret]

Aye there’s a few in each Campaign menu

[waxen rose]

I didn’t know we had a celebrity here
Sans the skel

[fringe shore]

Ah I see

[obsidian wyvern]

it's an achievement to complete 3 playlists for each game too

[fringe shore]

Lol

[waxen rose]

hyperfixation neuron was activated my bad

[fringe shore]

I'm a little new to Undertale so don't expect me to know a lot

[waxen rose]

I've been a undertale fan since day 1
2015.
I was there when it was written

[fringe shore]

If undertale was realistic got me into it

[waxen rose]

Based alert

[fringe shore]

I'm also just now finding out Undertale is on Xbox unfortunately not Deltarune

[waxen rose]

Deltarune is on Xbox what

omg am I tripping

[fringe shore]

Good Said it wasn't

Google*

[waxen rose]

Oh im tripping again
I just remember playing it on my tv (forgot I had my nintendoswitch hooked up)

[fringe shore]

Fair enough

[waxen rose]

Deltarune is on ps4/5, switch, and pc too though so

Chapter 3 is so good but 4 is even better holy wowza

[fringe shore]

Question did they reupload if Undertale was realistic because I swear it was not made 4 months ago

@waxen rose

[waxen rose]

yes

He used some undertale music in his video and it got taken down

he reuploaded it after getting the strike cleared

[fringe shore]

Ah I was wondering

[waxen rose]

Yeah
The company Toby files through sp his game can be on ps4/5 really love taking down yt videos with the undertale ost in them
Thankfully you can just file a claim and it gets fixed

[fringe shore]

I mean not really surprised either

[waxen rose]

Undertale 10th anniversary so im listening to the orchestra rn

[fringe shore]

I listen to the metal Covers and jazz versions people make

[fringe shore]

You care if I add you on Xbox?

[waxen rose]

how horrified would master chief be if he saw sans the skeleton /lh

[waxen rose]

I dm vro

[fringe shore]

Nah they would be chill

[unique cobalt]

he would care less

[fringe shore]

?

[waxen rose]

I think i’d be pretty scared if I saw skeleton

[fringe shore]

Bro you mean?

[waxen rose]

like… fully assembled... Walking…

[unique cobalt]

hes seen worse

[waxen rose]

I say vro for the fun of it (because of desireddream)

[fringe shore]

So is that a yes or no?

[waxen rose]

I mean like. A walking talking skeleton. Im sure he would get a tad bit spooked
Startled maybe
A little frazzled

[waxen rose]

Yes dawg add me idc

[fringe shore]

You Fred?

Pfp

[waxen rose]

Yeah my pfp is Fred104

[cedar turret]

Fred flinstone as a spartan would be more intriguing

[unique cobalt]

he deals with thousands of aliens and promethians everday i dont think he would be scared of 1 short skeleton

[waxen rose]

Imagine the leopard print coating... I want that now

https://tenor.com/view/ddfred-ddfredflintstone-ddflintstones-gif-10579829579670281440

[waxen rose]

You're right master chief barely reacts to anything

[fringe shore]

Well yeah Helmet we won't know

[waxen rose]

master class at being level-headed or just not caring

[waxen rose]

I like to imagine he’s deadpan behind the helmet because the image it paints in my head makes me cackle

[fringe shore]

Right

Microsoft seems to be increase Xbox prices again. Would you guys still buy the next Xbox if it was $600-$700?

[muted rose]

I have more important things to spend money on then planned obsolescence

[vagrant kettle]

No.
I’m not the right person to ask about this but still no

[hexed geyser]

guys should i buy the xbox rog ally next month

[waxen rose]

@candid solar wake up Aunctle
Knights of Guinevere pilot is out

[warm warren]

in halo reach mcc, is anyone able to use the armor and helmets that are outside series 1?

[candid solar]

I'm currently watching drag karaoke

[waxen rose]

Holy peak bomb

carry on kieeng

[candid solar]

I think 'Monarch' sounds cooler tbh

[waxen rose]

Yeah I dont think the kieeng thing sounded good anyway

Carry on my leige

[desert bridge]

Might as well get a pc at that point

[hexed geyser]

is the xbox rog ally worth it

[obsidian wyvern]

it's not even out yet is it, go watch someone who's actually got to try it out

https://youtu.be/oAYcigDSurU?si=c9CpocB0iEGTmqPB

[misty shard]

ok halo ce is my worst halo game

[terse blade]

Absolutely

[granite sky]

Halo 1 vehicle physics too fun for me to call it worst. U can drive a hog into another and fly into sky. Or drive one under a tank and flip tank

[hexed geyser]

id say the xbox rog ally is woth it

i'll ge the xbox ally x cuz im worried infinite wont run on the normal ally

[misty shard]

the rescue keys mission spawning like 4 instakill guys is quite annoying

[dry lintel]

There’s still settings that are backwards? Nice.

[faint mantle]

Okay seriously. Are you even saving money for retirement? Insurance?

[wise pecan]

Hey everyone

[cosmic monolith]

hello

[wise pecan]

What's up

[hexed geyser]

not yet

[golden gale]

Better then halo 5 though but thats not saying much

[misty shard]

I agree

halo 5 is so bad I refuse to play it

[balmy pagoda]

Literally was my favorite Halo game until I played 3
Now it's my third favorite

[misty shard]

lol valid

[balmy pagoda]

That's if we are talking campaign wise

[hybrid plover]

do yall drink tap water?

[rare cedar]

Nah

[floral pollen]

I soley do pretty much
I also have well water and not city water tho

[fair hill]

Tap water is amazing

[mental helm]

do filtered taps count

[worldly venture]

Used to but then my refrigerator got a dispenser

[solid pendant]

Hi guys. Why is it that when I play on MCC, non-anniversary graphics are so dark. I cant see anything sometimes

[cosmic monolith]

Maybe try increasing the gamma for those games then?

[mellow yoke]

Osiris team

[atomic jackal]

Learnt today that some people actually don’t like the halo CE anniversary graphics? Any particular reason why or is it just people being picky?

As far as I can tell all they did was update the graphics and it’s not like you HAVE to play the updated version

Coming from somebody who never played halo when it first came out as I didn’t even exist yet

[worldly venture]

Its not accurate to how the original game is, artstyle wise

They reused Reach models for almost every character, levels don't follow the original aesthetics

But yea the most i hear why is because of the reach stuff being used

[jade gust]

Alot of people also dislike the lighting being so drastically different too

Which like, definitely takes away from the original atmosphere some levels had

But then you also have good changes like Forerunner arrows to help with navigating the Library

[brazen abyss]

PC with xbox controller

[sullen pawn]

Is the library bugged it feels way to easy

[worldly venture]

Is a campaign level thats existed for almost 30 years bugged?

[obsidian wyvern]

the library just isnt that bad

[south galleon]

Does anyone know why ghosts of onyx isn’t available on kindle, was looking to get one for reading the halo books, but it’s not available as far as I can see?

[molten pelican]

I have well water so it tastes pretty good

City water tastes horrible

[south galleon]

Just wait till you try Scottish city water… fantastic

[molten pelican]

how come?

[south galleon]

Idk we just have good water

Arguably best in the world

[molten pelican]

huh, thats pretty interesting

you got me researching water qualities from different nations and filtration systems lol

[south galleon]

Pretty interesting tbf i think it has something to do with the amount of hills and mountains we have nearish populated areas

[rare cedar]

Colorado tap water hits different

[molten pelican]

Panda is your tap just warm ramen water

Chicken bouillon straight into the pipes

[atomic jackal]

Yeah well when ur a 10 year old playing the library back in 2002 I’d imagine it would have been pretty bad

Or 2001 whenever the game came out

[compact herald]

MCC is still getting updated??

I just got a notification on my screen

a minor update for improvements

glad to see this is still getting support

[rare cedar]

Pretty much

[atomic jackal]

Yes the servers are still open too

Occasionally I can find reach games

Depends what time I play

[molten pelican]

It was a major bug fix that effected Microsoft store users not being able to join multiplayer games

Not sure if it's getting a content update ever again tbh

[sullen pawn]

Maybe? I just played it a couple years back and it was hard I know halo ce is one of the easier legendarys since guns actually kill stuff and you get a ton of ammo

[compact herald]

There isnt much to add on content anyways but im somewhat happy that some support is being given. Lets us know its not been abandoned

[sullen pawn]

I know that you can basically get soft locked when getting keys out of the ship if he takes too much damage

[atomic jackal]

No maybe

Definitely

Halo was the only game like itself back then

There was no preparation

No YouTube

No guides

[sullen pawn]

Could be me trying to finish the last bit of reach on legendary and beating my head on the final level

[atomic jackal]

Halo reach and halo 2 genuinely the hardest halo games I can’t lie

Allways makes me chuckle how vehicles in halo 2 are made out of duct tape and cardboard it seems

[naive turret]

Compensation for them being made of diamond and concrete in CE

[atomic jackal]

I suppose

[molten pelican]

Halo 2 I can understand but reach feels pretty balanced to me, one of the easier games for sure

[sullen pawn]

I hate the the final 3 waves of brutes in reach with only one dmr spawn

[atomic jackal]

IMO I think the elites are what makes reach a little trickier especially In legendary

[atomic jackal]

There is a cache on that level

When ur waiting for the pelican

[sullen pawn]

The dmr cache is bugged and you have to melee a wall to get it to spawn

And it didn’t work

[atomic jackal]

I’m pretty sure there a shotgun cache under the building overlooking the landing pad?

Unless my memory is fooling me

I’m probably wrong

[sullen pawn]

The shotgun is also not good against brute chieftainn with a fuel rod

[atomic jackal]

Dual wield

[sullen pawn]

He was shooting me out of the air like it was tf2

[atomic jackal]

Kidding

Chat I can’t lie

Physically can’t bring myself to play halo 5

It’s exhausting

[sullen pawn]

Honestly 2 is hell I got to the sniper alley and I was like nah

[atomic jackal]

Tartarus fight cooked me for a while

Mostly cuz he can one shot you in heroic let alone legendary

[worldly venture]

Who can

[sullen pawn]

I remember that boss fight taking awhile on heroic

I love endlessly spawning elites and endless Johnson voice lines

[atomic jackal]

It’s like I’m not even a big 343 hater I didn’t dislike halo 4 I just wish they could have kept the original art style, but halo 5 it’s like

Come on man

[sullen pawn]

Too bad the Johnson VA disappeared after the 2017 voice actor strike

[worldly venture]

Idc who makes halo, as long as the game is good ill like it

5 is not good

[worldly venture]

Did he?

[atomic jackal]

Bruh

[sullen pawn]

Yeah they had someone new do the voice work for the halo wars dlc

[atomic jackal]

Don’t ever let her go chief

[atomic jackal]

Bro your not Johnson

[sullen pawn]

Also he was voicing a few characters in dota 2

[worldly venture]

Yea that I know, i thought you meant like he literally just disappeared

He has an insta

[atomic jackal]

Halo infinite is a good halo game I cannot lie multiplayer cooks so hard

And the customisation is nice

I’d give it a 7

[worldly venture]

Infinite has the best customization, just a few more things and it'll be better

Not only do i like the gameplay and mode diversity, but the artstyle being wayyy better than what we had for the last 10 years is amazing

(Aside from some things)

[atomic jackal]

Hoping we get some more spin offs of different Spartans because ur telling me the Human covenant war was for 25 years and we only see the final months of it like come on man 343 is sitting on a gold mine

[worldly venture]

I want a game about Owen from Battleborn

One of the few halo books I've read

[atomic jackal]

Never heard of him, what makes him interesting?

[sullen pawn]

He does?

[worldly venture]

Wellllll I remember some things, was a bit ago but I remember it was a group of kids who were alone when a covenant attack begun in an area

And Owen was a spartan deployed, he struggled a bit sometimes because he was by himself but he relied and supplied onnthe kids

[worldly venture]

I think, I searched up David scully and got an insta but I didnt check the link ngl

Could be him or sum random dude

[atomic jackal]

Seems like a nice guy

You could probably guess who I want a game of

[worldly venture]

Gee I wonder

[atomic jackal]

The engineer from halo ODST Ofcourse

[worldly venture]

Definitely

[sullen pawn]

Kinda wanna see the flood again

Hopefully not the halo 3 flood those guys were pushovers

[waxen rose]

I want flood infected spartan mini boss and then that’s it for the flood

[desert bridge]

Nice gamertag

[worldly venture]

I saw that

[compact herald]

IM POSITIVE

we will

if not in the upcoming game, then the next

[sullen pawn]

I wanan sww them go full dead space remake type gore

[compact herald]

that would be crazy

[compact herald]

btw off topic, did u get the master chief in fortnite or nah?

[sullen pawn]

I got him before he disappeared for a few years tbh

[worldly venture]

Ppl said this during halo 4 btw

I mean technically the flood came back in this game

They're on the ring, and cosmetics so

[compact herald]

people will keep saying it until it happens pretty much

[worldly venture]

Yerp

[compact herald]

I got him after he came back from the few years hiatus

[blissful field]

Hi, do any one know why i can join custom games on mcc but game infinitly seach social games and competitive games?

[blazing cave]

…let’s give our old friends a warm welcome

[noble wyvern]

Anyone playing Halo 3 on the 25th for its 18th anniversary?

[compact herald]

If I can finish Halo 2 on time, I def will

[noble wyvern]

Doing on it on laso?

[rare cedar]

H3 is almost old enough to buy a scratch off ticket

[compact herald]

Ill leave that pain and suffering for another day

[viral dune]

Tomorrow

[still python]

Can someone help me figure out the name of a custom Halo 5 SWAT map that was built on the water and had a raised circular platform i think people called “pancake” and you could drop down inside this circular cylinder to reach the ground floor

[sullen pawn]

Too bad Sony won’t bring back kratos

[still python]

I don’t know how I am going to figure this out. Maybe I should ask @obtuse snow

I know he will know

Please, come to my rescue

[foggy parcel]

I miss the brute spiker, a bit disappointed that its not in infinite, it was integrated into the banished as we've seen in HW2

There's a lot of weapons I miss

Low-key, I felt bamboozled when I saw the mangler, thought it was the mauler

[jade gust]

I don't think tagging random people is gonna get you an answer

[still python]

I know him, he knows me

As a matter of fact, we’re friends on Discord

[dense stag]

Will halo wars two make intel graphics explode

i have intel graphics card

[desert bridge]

lmao

[dense stag]

fr tho would intel graphics handle HW2

idk how good it is

Ik its not good but idk how bad

[hybrid plover]

city water scares me lol wish i had well water again

[dense stag]

i agree

indiana water is so terrible

[compact herald]

wait yall drink out of the sink??

[dense stag]

No

the water bottle refill stations in my college taste so bad

and those have filters in them

[obsidian wyvern]

drinking tap water is just not a thing in America huh

[compact herald]

someone probably had some me time

and leaked in the water (wee)

[dense stag]

because its terrible

[compact herald]

[hybrid plover]

it just usually tastes weird

plus there’s issues with public water. constantly

[next oar]

hello

[rare cedar]

[pliant hatch]

only micro plastics for us.

[vagrant kettle]

Just like, but a filter
Brita is super good
Berkey is the best

[obsidian wyvern]

I think a study found 100% of men have microplastics in them no

so how bad could more be lol

[hybrid plover]

how often do you need to replace brita filters

[vagrant kettle]

I’ll check

About every 2-3 months it says

[pliant hatch]

I think there was one that said we have enough in our brain to make a plastic spoon.

that was awhile ago though so might be misremembering.

[hybrid plover]

oh shoot. that’s not as bad as i thought it would be

i found a spider in my water yesterday

i was drinking out of it…

[vagrant kettle]

Microplastics+normal tap water radiation (3.5 roentgens)+spider=superpowers I think

[worldly venture]

Spider juice 🤤

[naive turret]

Wow what a terrible time to have a mind’s eye

[carmine bear]

Without googling, how many of you know what the riddler in the Batman (2022) looks like? I’m debating if I should do that for Halloween

[worldly venture]

Dont he wesr like

A helmet or sum

[carmine bear]

A mask, you can google him if you want idc lol

I’m just wondering if I should be him this Halloween

[worldly venture]

You said not to Google 💔

You should go for it

[carmine bear]

Google if you want

[naive turret]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-does-he-know-gif-26833694

[carmine bear]

I’m just worried nobodies gonna know who I am lol

[carmine bear]

Also works that I kinda look like him

[worldly venture]

I get that lmao

[naive turret]

Be Arkham Riddler, really sell it.

[worldly venture]

But that makes it better if you get recognized by the cultured

[carmine bear]

The thing is Batman 2022 is the only riddler I really like lol

[worldly venture]

Lego batman 2 riddles is cool too

(He has like 1 dialogue line but he and everyone else is peak in that game icl)

[shadow hamlet]

I try play competitive game H3 and i have been waiting many minutes for a game just only "Searching for players" in MCC

[naive turret]

You’re going to have a hard time in general with Ranked in MCC, barely anyone plays it.

[shadow hamlet]

I just cant believe that is true no 8 players on competitive

i mean 7 because im one 😄

i have ticked every location in internet settings 😄

and social games connect every time to US server not EU where im based 😄

[fickle drift]

Good afternoon everyone, hope y’all are having a great day 😄

[vagrant kettle]

Are we trying to break the 😄 emoji record or something

[fickle drift]

lol I didn’t do that intentionally, my bad

[worldly venture]

Its ok 😄

[fleet sigil]

Man I'm rusty as this game I have to watch some tom taylor tsquared str8rippin pro tips

[pliant hatch]

Oh, gawd. Whenever I think of his vids, I just think of one thing which I can't say on here.

[molten pelican]

It is wym

But well water is much better, I don't live in a city

[molten pelican]

I am 100% plastic

[waxen rose]

Omg I love those images

“I’m so fing scared right now” is my favorite

[forest fossil]

question. so i have heard of giant flood forms the graveminds can evolve into called keyminds. so i was scrolling halo memes when i found one of master chief, doom slayer and one i did not recognize (isaac clarke) so i got GPT to identify them and then i looked up dead space enemies (necromorphs) and i found one called Brethren moons and they look like the images i have seen of keyminds. so did brethren moons inspire keyminds or is it a crossover with lore into halo?

https://deadspace.fandom.com/wiki/Brethren_Moons

[jade gust]

Why did you use AI to try and learn about Dead Space?

[waxen rose]

Learn about dead space the way real men do (there is a necromorph in my basement)

[worldly venture]

Ima make you my bubble bih

[pliant hatch]

huh?

[jade gust]

Don't feed it after midnight (Or was that gremlins?)

[misty shard]

quit using AI to do things

just look it up on the wiki or play the games and experience it like a human

[pliant hatch]

didn't dead space come out after halo?

[warm warren]

Can someone tell me if they’re also having the issue on halo reach mcc where armor and helmets that are not in series 1 doesnt load ingame

[worldly venture]

Thats something he'd say

[faint mantle]

Have you submitted a support ticket?

[warm warren]

yes

but it’s been like a week

[faint mantle]

They haven't responded then?

[pliant hatch]

oh, well it's not that.

[warm warren]

No response

[faint mantle]

It's possible they're still investigating.

[pliant hatch]

is your customization turned off?

[warm warren]

no

wait, in game settings, is new customization supposed to be enabled?

[compact herald]

Yes

[pliant hatch]

I believe it's on by default

[warm warren]

how do i enable it

[warm warren]

it’s off and greyed out

[pliant hatch]

not sure why it would be greyed out, but usually you can select it to on or off

[warm warren]

idk why either

[pliant hatch]

I'd have to check which setting it's under to see if maybe you're looking at the wrong thing, but that wouldn't be til later.

[warm warren]

check dm luke

wait i fixed it

[waxen rose]

Too late
Now there's multiple

[faint mantle]

Be sure to tell Halo Studios on your ticket

[brazen abyss]

does no one play infection on mcc anymore??

[pliant hatch]

Might just be a population issue.

[brazen abyss]

ive tried matchmaking infected for 3 days at different times for 30 mins queued and nothing

[edgy osprey]

On which game

I got an infection match on Halo 3 not too long ago

[fickle drift]

I love your pfp 🥰

[forest fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-didact-watch-yo-tone-mf-gif-27116469

[forest fossil]

assuming

[misty shard]

nah

I have a moral obligation to be against generative AI

[forest fossil]

and i only used it to IDENTIFY them not find out. as for dead space id like to keep my sanity (or what sanity i have left)

[jade gust]

I wasn't assuming, you directly stated you used AI

[forest fossil]

damn

i did NOT use it to find out about brethren moons ONLY isaac clarke

[hybrid plover]

still horrified by that spider in my water

i prolly drank one of its legs or sum

[waxen rose]

Jet black master chief and the color pink go together like bread and butter

Hi

[indigo lotus]

I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman!
Greatest Batman quote from the late Kevin Conroy.

[vagrant kettle]

I nearly died laughing once I figured out Mayor Adam West was a real person, and actually did die when I figured out he was Batman

Batman: Some days, you can’t get rid of a bomb!

[vagrant kettle]

Wait not yet, too early

[atomic notch]

Yooo, the guy from fortnite?

[waxen rose]

[atomic notch]

Do any of you like moths?

[waxen rose]

I love the atlas moth

[signal wedge]

Mon Mothma

[subtle furnace]

[atomic notch]

No

I have a gif of a moth doing a funny dance, but I'm worried there will be an embed fail, and I'll be laughed at

I was right

[obsidian wyvern]

[vagrant kettle]

I just had the best match of my life.
Castle wars
There was this one dude who just sat on the top by the flag and marked guys, literally the main character
Then I was about to 1v1 this guy with 10 seconds left, but we just stand there t bagging until the game ended

[umbral tangle]

oooohhhhh sounds fun

[terse blade]

Who likes neoclassical architecture?

[signal wedge]

I prefer contemporary

[vagrant kettle]

I like Soviet-esque brutalist

[signal wedge]

me too!

[next sparrow]

did halo just break for xbox app?

[waxen rose]

Brutalist<<<<Brutalist with an unfathomable amount of greenery and foliage

[hard sleet]

[vagrant kettle]

Hmmmmm
Very iiiiinteresting

[waxen rose]

Yeah yeah I know I know they can me mister accent the way I be adding beautiful foliage to the room

[viral dune]

[abstract surge]

What if
We compose the Insurrectionists

[waxen rose]

Insurectionists killed my grandma, okay?!?!?

[abstract surge]

Lmao

[signal wedge]

what if the UNSC blockade innie worlds and force them into submission?

[waxen rose]

Unsc try not to be the villain (CHALLANGE IMPOSSIBLE)

[abstract surge]

Nah not good enough
They need to pay for Rookie

[signal wedge]

they are not villians they are just the lesser evil

[vagrant kettle]

When I’m in a be evil competition and my opponent is an insurrectionist:

“Darn, I might lose”

[waxen rose]

Im in an evil competition and my opponent is an ONI defender

[abstract surge]

TBF the UNSC DID nuke a colony because of Insurrectionists

[fossil skiff]

Is this you

[waxen rose]

That car is cute I wouldn't hate him if he was the silly lobotomy cat

[signal wedge]

Better than a ground invasion that would kill thousands of troops (amiright)
