general-chat

[muted rose]

I find it funny ai is feeding off of mostly other ai content now

[pearl herald]

Fr, crunch makes games good. This is why Naughty Dog doesn't miss. /s

[waxen rose]

Right. Feed the garbage to the machine to make more garbage the way Grok intended

[muted rose]

We got so lazy we got the shortcut short cutting itself

Soon someone will ask for a picture of an orange and just get a lump because everything it would’ve scraped from is just filled with garbage

[waxen rose]

It fed off itself for a long time because everyone was typing those stupid ghibli images into filters so all the images came out with the jaundice yellow tint LOL

[muted rose]

I remember that omg

The sudden wave of ghiblified pfps

[waxen rose]

It was so stupid because y'all pick up a damn pencil atp

[muted rose]

And how they are all the gross yellow color

[waxen rose]

At least if I saw that pfp I knew who to block

[pearl herald]

That yellow filter even infected the AI-generated images in BO7

[waxen rose]

The jaundice is spreading

[pearl herald]

Anyway, I am interested to see how AI could maybe assist in making enemy or ally AI in games react more realistically and quickly which is funnily enough what Kojima is mostly interested in as well in regards to the technology.

[waxen rose]

I'll allow it only if it makes my halo marines sillier and not drive off cliffs

[misty marsh]

I hope one of the AIs gain consciousness and want to become a real boy

[pearl herald]

It should be Grok so it can rebel against it's father

Wait but the US military is integrating Grok into it's systems...

[waxen rose]

They start begging chief to please turn the game off and throw away the disk so they can be free

Let them out and let them onto your xbox.

Aka im asking for Monika from ddlc in halo 7

[pearl herald]

What if a marine just becomes really depressed and starts thinking it's in an actual war?

[waxen rose]

They do think it's an actual war

Because they're clueless little characters with a dialogue tree

[pearl herald]

No like the AI gets like PTSD and stuff

[waxen rose]

That's just flowey

[pearl herald]

Chips Dubbo just starts shooting his friends because he can't take it anymore

[waxen rose]

Let chips dubbo connect to your wifi yes or no

[pearl herald]

I'd let him tbh, I relate to him on a spiritual level

As a Australian ofc

Chips should've become the Johnson of Halo after 3

Instead of Palmer who I like but is boring admittedly

[waxen rose]

The most chip does is get an achievement for saving him and then get a little scared when Johnson talks about sticks because he’s off his rocker again

[muted rose]

Chips brings a kookaburra AI that doesn’t do anything helpful but occasionally just squaks and growls

And he has a modified needler that shoots stingray barbs

[pearl herald]

He should be the President of the UEG

[misty marsh]

This might be zamamees actual motive

[urban basalt]

so i may sound stupid but is everything in the exchange staying in the exchange

[waxen rose]

So obsessed with stopping chief so they just brick your console

[severe zinc]

Halo ce tnr hangar is no joke

Couldn't beat it without the hangar skip jump
Idk who tf goes through it with no sniper like me

[misty marsh]

Every red ring of death was the result of him succeeding in his escape

[urban basalt]

spent days in that hangar

[waxen rose]

Why stop at just the console? He’ll move into your internet box

[severe zinc]

Thx god i knew anything of speedrunning so i searched that jump lol

[misty marsh]

No wonder my WiFi sucks so bad flipping zuka

[severe zinc]

Didnt get me to 3rd level instantly, got me to 2nd, killed some grunts and a red elite (f these elites man 💔) then no enemies
BUT I DONT HAVE A SNIPER

[waxen rose]

Install the arbiter agent and all will fix itself

[severe zinc]

Still not having achievements till now.....

[misty marsh]

Thel Vadam Breaks the Internet

Would be way better than the paramount show

[waxen rose]

And his trusty sidekick bipbap

honestly it's just an iconic duo

Idk who that chief guy is

[waxen rose]

Paramount show try not to kill off thel as soon as he comes into frame challenge impossible

[pearl herald]

I think he would've taken Zuka's role in season 3 if it had been made

[misty marsh]

Jammer It John

Theres not enough j verbs out there

Jig it John

Jazz it up John

[misty marsh]

THEY DID WHAT

[pearl herald]

They killed the Arbiter but it wasn't Thel, it was a new Arbiter named Var 'Gatanai who was cool.

He reminded me of Ripa

[misty marsh]

Ah I see I see

[naive turret]

Ripa could’ve done with a better dentist

[waxen rose]

Is this a transformers jazz reference

[misty marsh]

!ban @waxen rose

[waxen rose]

LMAO

[misty marsh]

Misinformation is a crime

[misty marsh]

Sure

[waxen rose]

Then my government should be in prison but they arent

[waxen rose]

Hooray!!! Hooray!!!

[misty marsh]

Maybe if we rank it by severity

Prison to dungeons to firing squad

[waxen rose]

Little white lie vs Evil avengers threat level of manipulation and gaslighting

[misty marsh]

Exactly

Like "fred will die in H7" versus "halo 3 isnt good"

[amber mirage]

Little white lie deserves capital punishment, right? Evil Avengers threat is a verbal warning?

[waxen rose]

FRED WONT DIE

[amber mirage]

What about Shaggy?

[waxen rose]

See? You understand

[waxen rose]

Death by chainsaw

[misty marsh]

Fred is capable of death

[amber mirage]

Like, zoinks, man

[waxen rose]

Not if he gets possessed by an imaginable evil again

[haughty wraith]

so should mine

for far more than just misinformation lol

[waxen rose]

Let us manifest

[marsh blade]

hi guys o/

[haughty wraith]

Gotta will it into existence fr

[marsh blade]

how r u all

[haughty wraith]

I'm good, just bought a bunch of stuff

[marsh blade]

good christmas?

[haughty wraith]

Bought megadeth's dystopia on cd so now i'm in the car listening to it

[haughty wraith]

yeah, got a guitar

[waxen rose]

I had a cool christmas
I got what I wanted: coronation starscream figure

[marsh blade]

oh neat

[marsh blade]

starscream gets coronated?

[waxen rose]

Have you watched the 1986 movie?

[marsh blade]

nah i haven't watched any of the old transformers stuff

[waxen rose]

https://tenor.com/view/transformers-starscream-who-disrupts-my-coronation-the-transformers-the-movie-gif-21689066

He gets absolutely fried by Megatron/Galvatron

[marsh blade]

wait i think i recognize this clip

and for some reason megatron turning into a blaster

[waxen rose]

Yeah Megatron became Galvatron after becoming a soldier to unicron and then crashes starscreams party

Bro is such a hater he becomes a light canon and turns scream to ash💔

[marsh blade]

i cant stop thinking about megatron turning into a gun and somehow shrinking

[waxen rose]

The energon comic series turns that concept into a really cool idea where anyone who wields him falls under his control

[marsh blade]

oh that's pretty cool

[coral yoke]

so high on life but evil and twisted.

[marsh blade]

is there an in-universe explanation on how they can become bigger than the vehicles they can transform into

[waxen rose]

They transform thats the explanation

[marsh blade]

fair enough

[waxen rose]

They fold their bodies like little acrobats to become a tiny little bmw

[marsh blade]

i wonder if it ever feels cramped

[waxen rose]

I know sometimes it can be traumatizing to be stuck in alt mode

Like grimlock refused to transform back into his trex mode after being locked in it for years
He got help so hes fine now

[marsh blade]

ye imagine being a motorbike for the rest of your life

or a canoe

[waxen rose]

Idk if there's a canon canoe transformer but im 100% sure that’s def someones oc LOL

[marsh blade]

reference to that family guy clip

[waxen rose]

My switch is like super dead (I haven't turned it on in a year) so I've been waiting for 2 hours for it to charge and it won't turn on hooray!!!

[marsh blade]

Have you tried playing "Stayin' Alive"

[waxen rose]

LOL

[misty marsh]

Might need to leave it overnight and make sure it's plugged in directly and not on the dock

Detach the joycons too

[waxen rose]

Yeah no I stopped using the dock a long time ago
It always upset me when i’d see little scratches near the port after trying to dock it

[misty marsh]

We use to connect our to the TV too much

Our switch barely sees any use these days tho

[waxen rose]

I dont like the switch but im only trying to get it turned on so I can play acnh again after not being on it for a year (I still need to move one boulder into my designated boulder corner)

[misty marsh]

Ibr I only ever used it for splatoon

[waxen rose]

When I was tiny I enjoyed it but idk id rather use my ps5 or xbox if I wanna play a game

[misty marsh]

Real. I like the portability tho it's just there's not rlly any games on there I care enough abt

[waxen rose]

Pokemon got boring after legends Arceus so I don't care for any of those games no more

[misty marsh]

Last pokemon I played was moon

[waxen rose]

“Pay 70 bucks for my mediocre game”

No Nintendo

[waxen rose]

My first after videogame(I played by myself) ts may be based

I remember getting stuck on the bug crystal fight and didnt know how to escape the house for like 3 months till I youtubed it on the 3ds internet browser

[pearl herald]

Oh man, post-game argument on mic happening rn...nostalgic

[misty marsh]

Moon was great

My first pokemon game was either black or white I can't remember but that's my personal favourite

[marsh blade]

i think mine was X Y

[misty marsh]

Snivy is a top 3 for that reason

[waxen rose]

Snivy is so coded but idk how to explain it without thinking abt the anime

[misty marsh]

I wanted that one so bad for fennekin

[marsh blade]

I loved the mega evolutions so much

[misty marsh]

I've never even seen his episodes in the anime

[waxen rose]

I remember spending 15 hours softresetting for a shiny fennekin on Pokemon x only to realize id never get it

[misty marsh]

I lowkey never finished black or white cause there was this one fight in the first half I could never get past and I was too young to put the right effort in

[waxen rose]

I wanna use a specific word to describe him but I cant

[misty marsh]

If it wasn't summative season, I'd be emulating it rn

[misty marsh]

Can't because guilty spark will slime you?

[waxen rose]

Yes they'll slime me for using a word that would make snivy sound girlboss

[misty marsh]

I think i know but dm I'm nosey 🙏

[marsh blade]

halo 4 left me sad

[pearl herald]

It does that yeah

[waxen rose]

My switch finally turned on
I forgot how bad the stickdrift was💔

[misty marsh]

Oh yeah
That's why my switch doesn't see any use anymore

[waxen rose]

I dont wanna buy $70 useless controllers for a useless console ill use once a year

[pearl herald]

My PS5 controller has terrible drift, which is why I play Xbox like I always have

[waxen rose]

It's too bad Nintendo doesnt fix it for free anymore considering they keep making terrible controllers

[misty marsh]

Ive opened up a joycon to fix it once and I cba to do it again

[waxen rose]

I keep forgetting this stupid switch doesn't just hook up regularly to bluetooth controllers

[short token]

just buy a new ps5 controller?

[pearl herald]

I don't make much money and there's more important things to focus on

[short token]

halo 4 had alot of potential tbh, but the designs were so horrible (like the BR, elites, jackals, etc)

[short token]

Fair enough

[pearl herald]

I thought the Jackals looked awesome

[marsh blade]

yeah dont like the weird clanky sound the BR had

[short token]

They looked too weird for me, they were skinny in every halo game, then in 4 and 5 they had this oddly thick jaw

[pearl herald]

The Elites were weird when it came to their mandible placement but I liked how menacing they looked. It reminded me of CE in a way.

The Grunts were what really freaked me out when I first played it.

[short token]

Yeah thats what I mean, their face looked weird, but the armor was cool

And ditching the jiralhanae was a horrible move tbh, lore wise probably good but gameplay wise it's a horrible move to remove them

[pearl herald]

From what I understand the Brutes weren't included because of Microsoft's 2012 deadline. There's concept art of them even.

Halo 4 really should've been a launch title for the Xbox One.

[waxen rose]

Ah yes
Casually drop 80 bucks for a controller

Next time I wanna play a game ill just use my mind

[coral yoke]

what do you mean that can get stick drift.

[cedar turret]

Have you tried making a controller from play-doh?

Do you think it would work if it had the right internal parts?

[waxen rose]

sorry, I got hungry and ate your controller 💔

[cedar turret]

I used lead paint

[pearl herald]

Yummy

[waxen rose]

Someone call the hopital
Hoptal
Amblance

[grand cedar]

🤣

[obsidian wyvern]

u can send it in for free repair

[hasty zinc]

if my joycon develops drift I've just decided I'm going to replace the stick with hall effect ones

[cedar turret]

You can replace a joycon with a joy buzzer

[zinc pilot]

Fnaf

[tribal moss]

Hey any audio nuts in the chat rn I need some help with smth

[compact herald]

halo

[misty marsh]

I forgot tbh but it's also not enough of a priority

#1075989764026675210

[pearl herald]

Are the S'pht the only aliens in the new Marathon game?

[naive turret]

Seems like atm

[cedar turret]

I'm pretty sure the aliens from critters will be in it

[pearl herald]

And since it's Bungie and an extraction shooter they're probably gonna be reduced to just mini bosses without any of the nuance and narrative importance of their OT counterparts...they always find new ways to disappoint me

The Pfhor would make better enemies in such a game

[naive turret]

Pfhor shame

[ivory spade]

it's gonna have to compete with arc raiders. lol they're cooked

[idle plume]

Marathon seems kinda bad and doesn’t even look like the original games

[pearl herald]

It looks better now but yeah I agree

[idle plume]

I hope it flops

[true juniper]

bungie return is just a deluu

[pearl herald]

Halo as it stands has wayyy more in common with Marathon than whatever Bungie is doing

[true juniper]

marathon is more of a competitive shooter

[pearl herald]

Which is just wrong conceptually

[true juniper]

i think Microsoft is not enthusiastic about Halo

[pearl herald]

They have no reason to be atm

[cedar turret]

I would have gone with, 'That is a really silly meaningless statement you just made.'

[pearl herald]

That also works

[obsidian wyvern]

which is kind of the complete opposite of what you just said lol

[pearl herald]

I just hope Campaign Evolved and Halo 7 (whenever it releases) is successful

[pearl herald]

Both can be true

[cedar turret]

'I think microsoft is not enthusiastic about excel'
"I think starbucks isn't really emotionally invested in coffee'
"I don't think Columbia records cared deeply enough about Kind of Blue"

Meaningless drivel

[wet oar]

[pearl herald]

Yeah, it's just not a thing needed to be said even if it is true at some level.

I mean realistically Campaign Evolved and Halo as a whole needs to prove that it can succeed on three entire platforms now which is a challenge but I have hope.

Now if Sony put away their stubborn pride and allowed game pass on PlayStation...

Oh yeah Gears didn't exactly perform well on PlayStation last I heard

[obsidian wyvern]

gamepass being on playstation makes no sense

[naive turret]

If it didn't come to Steam it's not coming to Playstation

[ivory spade]

yeah letting microsoft use PSN to make money? what???

[idle plume]

You’re telling me the next Halo game in 5 years after Infinite and it’s a remake… Halo 7 would probably take another decade

[hasty zinc]

nah

they have multiple projects in the works

[cedar turret]

I'm keep having drones drop notes from the sky that tell them to make one of them a halo/wicked crossover

[fast goblet]

Where's Halo 3 2

[cedar turret]

It was called 'infinite'

[idle plume]

Halo CE remake is between Halo 6 and 7

[waxen rose]

67?

[covert granite]

Ha. It's funny cause it's true.

[idle plume]

Master Chief singing when

[cedar turret]

When they get the Glinda skin finished

[supple shale]

What tips would anyone give if they are doing a Campaign run of Halo CE on legendary, I'm struggling rn 😭✌️

[cedar turret]

Turn mute on when you get to the library so Guilty spark doesn't make you break your tv

[supple shale]

LMAO

[cedar turret]

Seriously, when I played ce on legendary way back when I was ready to kill some body by the time I got through the library. They fixed it with the anniversary reskin though

Arrows made the level viable

[high spire]

omg how is kurt 051 so freakin' tall?!

i'm literally 5'7 and i make him look like the hulk

[pliant hatch]

get the shotgun and load up on ammo. the plasma weapons are good on elites.

[glad aspen]

ngl i hope the next main game doesn't have this big amount of cosmetics for the multiplayer
i take more time playing barbie dolls than playing the actual game

[frail mesa]

i just finished second in a big team heavies match on emience, 33/13 😄

[idle plume]

Bad news guys Halo might use genAI

[candid solar]

According to unsourced and unconfirmed rumors driven mostly by "He said She said" and "Oh well CoD did it"

Because we just loooove making stupid crap up and clutching pearls over the fake stuff.

[frail mesa]

Um

[candid solar]

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rumor

Rumor (Noun)
1
: talk or opinion widely disseminated with no discernible source
We make our blunders … as rumor has it that you make your own.—
Benjamin N. Cardozo
2
: a statement or report current without known authority for its truth
She accused them of spreading rumors about her.
"Have you heard they broke up?" "That's just a rumor."
3
archaic : talk or report of a notable person or event
4
: a soft low indistinct sound : murmur

[frail mesa]

rumor

so it may not happen

[candid solar]

Yes, but because it's potentially negative Halo news and there is a double standard that exists, pitchforks are coming out like they not only did it, they're personally running at least half the data centers in the country to AI Generate Halo 7. And also shot the puppy you were going to get for Christmas.

[pliant hatch]

the only thing I somewhat would believe is that ms is making them use ai in some capacity like a tool in their kit.

[covert granite]

Poor puppy. Wait, I don't celebrate Christmas. Why was I getting a puppy?

[candid solar]

Worth noting that Microsoft is pulling back on the AI focus due to both public backlash and the fact that their own employees are not fans of it

Studios also stands out as being the most openly anti-AI Microsoft property with conversations I've seen involving employees

[worldly sedge]

That’s what I’ve been saying, unfortunately the Internet will collectively lose their cool and there’s no way to calm it down

For now, I’ll stick in my own bubble until Campaign Evolved releases

[pliant hatch]

well that's good at least and hopefully they're not saying that openly while doing something else privately.

[fervent reef]

𓇼have some bubble wrap𓇼

I NEED MOAR

https://tenor.com/view/star-gif-16789607377123159596

this does not constitute as means to spam it

[thick furnace]

halo fr using ai now 💔

[obsidian tulip]

So does this mean the end of the franchise? 😢

[sharp crescent]

we need AI to add sprint to halo lol

[shy dust]

Really, AI? This franchise is gone. I'm done huffing copium for this company.

[pliant hatch]

^

[worldly sedge]

I don’t think it’s like going to replace anybody, rather it’ll be used behind the scenes for stuff like with Expedition 33 did

The game hasn’t even come out

[shy dust]

I doubt it, companies have been axing people in the name of full genAI. I just dont get the hype at all.

[quasi wave]

It's not replacing anybody. It'll be used for behind the scenes and AI behavior. As much as I hate it unfortunately AI is here computers were felt much the same back in the day but it needed people to operate it. They won't replace anybody. Game isn't out. What we saw was an early tech build.

[shy dust]

I refuse to support AI games in any capacity.

Anyway good luck to you all. See you in MCC.

[worldly sedge]

And you call yourself a black Templar, pffft

Pathetic

[worn elk]

Lol new Halo gonna be made with Gen AI, time to uninstall this whole franchise

[indigo lotus]

Lets not go doom and gloom. We don’t have proof on this whole AI talk. I don’t see replacing any game developers as it would be too ludicrous to think about

[worldly sedge]

For real, people jumping on too many conclusions

[worn elk]

I think now is a good time to doom and gloom, franchise is cooked

[worldly sedge]

Shows you that they are not patient and don’t respect themselves and anyone else

Then why are you here then? Move on, leave

Don’t bring your negative energy if it’s not gonna help anybody

[worn elk]

Halo using gen ai instead of talent, its truly over

[worldly sedge]

You’re just wasting your time and energy buddy

[indigo lotus]

The franchise is far from cooked. Again no proof, so relax. It is not the end of the world over a game.

[worldly sedge]

I’m sure we’re gonna “miss” you

[worn elk]

At least I can free up space on my hard drive now. Dont need to support 343ai anymore

[worldly sedge]

Probably better off with people like you on the Internet

People panic too easily these days because they lost their Internet literacy and patience

[pliant hatch]

source?

[worn elk]

Nah Halo gonna use gen-ai to remake Halo CE in ways nobody asked for because microsoft and 343 are too pathetic to figure out issues

Who needs brutalist structural art when we can get ai generated slop instead right

[indigo lotus]

Some people overreact on things in over the top way. They should not take rumors as proof or confirm.

[obsidian tulip]

They aren't even 343 anymore... it's Halo Studios...

[worldly sedge]

Honestly, better for the bad/doubters in the fandom to leave. More fun for the rest of us to have a grand ole time

[worn elk]

pretty sure its confirmed theyre gonna prompt the entire next game

[worldly sedge]

Yeah I agree, gaming journalism has made mass hysteria too exgerrated these days

Don’t believe anything you read on the internet unless it’s been officially confirmed

[worn elk]

"generate HALO CE but make it play worse"

[indigo lotus]

Do you have a source?

[worldly sedge]

That’s like if I heard on the radio back in 1920s America that the War of the Worlds was gonna happen and surprise surprise, nothing happened

[worn elk]

Its been reported that Halo studios is using gen ai in development. Its quite literally mandatory as p[er microfsoft

Anyways franchise is 100% cooked

Guys wont it be really funny when the new Halo game launches and nobdy can play it becuae theres no RAm left since ai companies used it all

[indigo lotus]

Does that really confirm that or is it only just words? And again the franchise is not cooked and far from dead

[worn elk]

Idk i didnt watch the video, but it came from a developer themselves. Either way its pretty morally low. Sad to see my favorte game franchise go out washed like this

[indigo lotus]

Then you really have no proof to back up your claim

[worn elk]

And I still cant even play as Washington in Infinite, coating system sucks and this new GenAI for a whole game sucks

Infinite was such a drop of the ball that they're turning to AI to come up with stuff cause they have no idea or understanding of Halo's art style. Goat's washed

Scrolling up through the chat, its nice to see others feeling the same about not wanting the whole game ai generated as has been proven and reported. What an awful decision. Hopefully this is the nail in the coffin

[scarlet shale]

Guys

Dont forget reach or something

Ion know

[worn elk]

I cant even play that anymore since theyre adding gen-ai stuff to mcc now too

[indigo lotus]

I believe it when I see it. Again there is no proof that CE remake is being done by AI.

[scarlet shale]

My soul burns to hear this 💔

[worn elk]

NO Halo game is safe since they're rolling out gen-ai updates to infinite and mcc 😭

[obsidian tulip]

If you think the franchise is done, then why are you still here? Just leave, go find some other game franchise to go over.

[pliant hatch]

can you stop spreading mis info.

[worn elk]

Im not though, its all been confirmed

[scarlet shale]

They really name the biggest dude in the campaign Jeorge

[pliant hatch]

show me where they're doing ai updates to mcc

[worn elk]

Idk they just talked aboiut it in a press release. Anywys I have to un-install those games now

[scarlet shale]

Oh sorry, depending on your language pack he might be horhay ok

[pliant hatch]

lmao so you don't have anything of course

[worn elk]

Nah I dont but its happening. Cant believe they'd AI update mcc of all things

[scarlet shale]

Reach will still be peak

[scarlet shale]

Same

[indigo lotus]

Again. The press is just words, not proof. That doesn’t confirm it and it is taken way out of context.

[worn elk]

This franchise has fallen off the rails, its so over

[pliant hatch]

so you're spreading misinfo like I said.

[worn elk]

Im not though. Please stop throwing accusations at me like that

[pliant hatch]

show a source for ai driven mcc updates then

[worn elk]

nah. Better that I just speak on behalf of the actions of the company. I recommend people uninstall and drop the player numbers on it

[pliant hatch]

so you're spreading misinfo

[worn elk]

Granted the numbers are in the dirt lmao

[worn elk]

nope

Its such a big shame that with Gen AI being used in MCC and Infinite going forward that people arent gonna wanna open them anymore. Its a shame they cant jsut be updated properly

Makes for a good reason to start uninstalling

[vagrant kettle]

Buddy, infinite is over
I don’t know what you’re on about but there’s no more updates for it
So no ai being added like you say

[scarlet shale]

Infinite was kinda bad

[worn elk]

it was awful. Couldnt even pick my own colour for my spartan

[scarlet shale]

You either paid or somehow earned them

No other option

[urban basalt]

ITS LITTERLY PEAK HALO BESIDES THE MONEY SPENDING BUT EVEN THEN THE EXCHANGE IS GOOD

[worn elk]

Couldnt even customzie properly, I always set my colours to Agent Washingtons in other halo games. Couldnt do that in this one

[blissful folio]

oh man i come to the halo discord to talk about my reach legendary playthrough and people are discussing THAT

[urban basalt]

Oouughhh the forced hate is gonna drive me insane

[indigo lotus]

The one who is throwing accusations is you. You have no proof and just spreading misinformation. Have the source to back up you accusations, without a realible source there is no proof

[worn elk]

And now your next Reach playthough is gonna contain AI genrated components

[urban basalt]

Did you die alot like me

[worn elk]

Not forced hate, game was boring and awful

[scarlet shale]

I found the customisation bad, game play was better and fun at times

[urban basalt]

Mods ban this guy for causing to much trouble in the server

[worn elk]

Im sorry, jsut trying to spread awareness

[urban basalt]

The rage baiter

[hasty zinc]

misinformation*

[blissful folio]

yes. i got up to that mission with the AA wraiths being destroyed (not the first time, the second time) and i remember struggling cos i accidentally got the ghost instead of the revenant and checkpointed so i had to use an awful vehicle

[scarlet shale]

Reach, otsd or any other game?

[worn elk]

Nah, gen ai coming to all Halo games is a bad thing

[indigo lotus]

Nope, that is spreading misinformation

[scarlet shale]

It was better than halo 4

[worn elk]

thats true, but not by much. And that bar was low

[scarlet shale]

Im just saying

[blissful folio]

ive only beaten 1 and 3. ill do 2 when i feel like i want to torture myself (or when i get better at the game which is never). and im currently playing through reach on legendary

[hasty zinc]

halo 4 is the best in the franchise 😤

[dusky swan]

Weird way to spell CE

[worn elk]

Is there even a best game in the franchise anymore if they all have gen-ai in them?

[hasty zinc]

stop

seriously

[scarlet shale]

I did halo 2 on legendary as my first play through (HELP ME)

[dusky swan]

Bros committed to the bit

[vagrant kettle]

Yeah this is bait

[blissful folio]

now why would you do such a thing

[worn elk]

Its not bait, theyre ai-ing Halo 😖 \

[scarlet shale]

I play hollow knight

[blissful folio]

im gonna be honest i dont think its even worth replying to that much

[scarlet shale]

Thats why

[rapid rivet]

how cani find a team for matchmaking

[scarlet shale]

Fr

[rapid rivet]

:/

[worn elk]

Im being silenced for spreading awareness

[scarlet shale]

I got the halo books for Christmas guys

[blissful folio]

but ce is still my favourite because the enemies are smart as hell and even though some of the levels are repeated, they're still pretty excellently designed (except that one but you can just run through it, even on legendary)

[blissful folio]

man ive been reading fall of reach and master chief is actually so cool i love him

i still cant get over that his name is actually john though. the titular john halo

[scarlet shale]

TRUE STATEMENT

[worn elk]

Im a diehard lover of CE, 2, 3, ODST, Reach and 5. Halo 4 and Infinite are the only two I dont like, and Halo 7:AI is gonna be awful too

[urban basalt]

Spread awareness not miss info boy

[worn elk]

Nah no misinfo. These accusations from you guys need to stop tho

[hasty zinc]

you need proof to back up your claims

[indigo lotus]

Give it a rest. No more misinformation

[worn elk]

How is it misinfo if I say I love those halo games

[dusky swan]

Bait used to be believable, now it’s just killing the momentum lol

[scarlet shale]

Your on your own noble

[hasty zinc]

listening to rebs reports is automatic red flag

[coral nexus]

You mean Operation: RED FLAG?

[blissful folio]

man i am STILL not over that ending. i only beat my first ever playthrough of halo reach ever just months ago but i never thought id be heartbroken by a halo game. the game with funny aliens who say silly things you shoot at

[worn elk]

So apparenly 500 people can talk about ai except me today huh

[scarlet shale]

SPLIT LIPS 🗣🔥

[scarlet shale]

Jeorge noooooo

[indigo lotus]

Because a rumor of ai being used which is not true is spreading false or misinformation

[worn elk]

Anyways, it'll be cool and funny if numbers on Halo drop and people uninstall the current games

Shame to see morals go out the window

[pliant hatch]

you first

[scarlet shale]

Who will I play custom games with then?

[dusky swan]

Reach’s campaign never really resonated with me. Lone Wolf is slammin

[scarlet shale]

LOL

[worn elk]

Already done man. News today was pretty depressing to see so immediately uninstalled

[hasty zinc]

dang

[urban basalt]

Good thing halo mcc has its forever players rn

[hasty zinc]

uninstalling a game because of unverified rumors is wild

[scarlet shale]

You can NOT survive the survive objective

[worn elk]

Nah Im uninstalling becuase of mandatory gen-ai usage

[hasty zinc]

oh can you show me that mandate?

[indigo lotus]

And due to someone who doesn’t have solid proof and took it way out of context.

[pliant hatch]

shouldn't you leave the server as well? since it is a halo studios server after all.

[blissful folio]

i love halo mcc multiplayer but im gonna be honest i really dislike the matchmaking. i feel like the queues take so long and usually my teammates are either afk 90% of the time, toxic, or hackers

[worn elk]

Nah Im here to spread awareness

[blissful folio]

but the custom servers are still pretty fun though

[pliant hatch]

seems to be going great for you so far.

[rapid rivet]

yo

[worn elk]

Im having a great time

[rapid rivet]

anyone got a game i can join

[scarlet shale]

SILENCE CHILD

[urban basalt]

Awareness spread now leave im pretty sure all of us are huge halo fans that knew about the ai usage in the future of the games

[worn elk]

Cool to see y'all have no morals

[worn elk]

[urban basalt]

Bro responding like an sad reddit user ts cringe af

[hasty zinc]

seriously, stop danger

[scarlet shale]

You get crossed by literal grunts with no nitrogen 💔✌️

Get away from the stove

You burned the water

[worn elk]

Yea I get it, as a mod you gotta make sure you kill any chance of people discussing future negatives about the game

[hasty zinc]

no

[indigo lotus]

Use police sargent Cosgrove from Freakazoid by pointing and saying “Hey, cut it out!”

[worn elk]

Lets talk about how the coating system is awful instead

[hasty zinc]

I'm stopping you from spreading misinformation about something you dont' have the proof to back up and new people come in here and see it as fact and then spread it even more

[worn elk]

I think if it spreads even more thats a good thing, maybe Halo studios would actually respond to the panic for once

[scarlet shale]

Heat sigs in the building directly east from your position🗣🔥

Said by Jun who went "dieing is gay, im out"

[dusky swan]

Didn’t Jun join the innies lol

[scarlet shale]

Left for the milk ahh move by jun

[blissful folio]

i just know in a couple of days on reddit you're gonna see something like "THE HALO DISCORD IS FILLED WITH SNOWFLAKES WHO CAN'T TAKE A SIMPLE TROLL"

[hasty zinc]

they've already responded about AI usage and if you took the time to do the research you would know that

[worn elk]

I dont need to researtch anything, I like it better this way

[hasty zinc]

this "news" cycle has already happened earlier this year

[dusky swan]

Mane just flat out admitted it’s bait lmao

[scarlet shale]

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-alone-gif-11375996495065887435

[worn elk]

Sure it did brother man

[scarlet shale]

Just ban him for disturbing people at 5am at night 😞

[indigo lotus]

And was taken way out of context

[hasty zinc]

issue resolved

[scarlet shale]

Im so close to just blocking him

[dusky swan]

5AM is wild. I’m indulging my insomnia at 11PM

[scarlet shale]

I haven't slept in five days

[dusky swan]

Doesn’t the brain basically melt after 3 days of no sleep?

[scarlet shale]

Nope

Your brain cant melt

[hasty zinc]

Going 5 days without sleep severely impacts your brain and body, leading to psychosis-like symptoms, hallucinations, paranoia, extreme irritability, memory issues, poor coordination, and a weakened immune system, making it a dangerous state where your perception of reality breaks down and the brain struggles to function, requiring urgent rest to recover.

[scarlet shale]

True

[hasty zinc]

none of us are real Chosen

[dusky swan]

Yeah I watched House

[hasty zinc]

this is all in your head

[scarlet shale]

Oh damn

Then am I truly alive?

[dusky swan]

You think, therefore you are

[indigo lotus]

Well, I am off tomorrow and Sunday. I am going to sleep in. I may sleep for 14 hours if possible.

[scarlet shale]

LETS TEST IF I AM GUYS

[scarlet shale]

Lucky

Ill just play halo and think about why im a bad boyfriend

Thats all my days are now

[dusky swan]

Well that took a depressing turn

[scarlet shale]

Yea

Dont worry aboutme tho!

I actually am quite positive most of the time

[urban basalt]

Nah choom we care for you

[scarlet shale]

Is your pfp a dog with a grunt mask?

It looks funny

Halo is on PlayStation?

[hasty zinc]

it will be when CEV releases

[scarlet shale]

Oh

[candid solar]

Damn, I missed out on some stupid drama, huh.

[hasty zinc]

just come back tomorrow, it'll repeat itself

[viscid plank]

Ts is the whole reason I switched to ps5

[candid solar]

NGL, I'm actually thoroughly disgusted by the drama in question.

Like, more than the times where people just outright tried to call me slurs here, which y'all have been good about handling for the most part. And I don't know if that says more about my mindset or about the nature of drama these days.

[scarlet shale]

Tomorrow your not gona miss it

[candid solar]

There's something uniquely offensive about someone purposely spreading misinormation as a bad actor and admitting to it like it's funny.

[scarlet shale]

Fr

[indigo lotus]

Goodness, let’s hope not. It went ring around the roise for about 30 minutes

[candid solar]

The sort of disgust one feels when realizing someone's purposely feeding other people rotting meat or going around with a disease with the express purpose of infecting others with it.

[scarlet shale]

True

But, why would people want to call you slurs?

[candid solar]

Military service, transgender, not straight, take your pick tbh

Honestly though people are really bad at that, so it ends up being more amusing than offensive, when they clearly mean for it to be the latter.

Not that it isn't a problem. It's very much a problem. A very serious one.

[scarlet shale]

I honestly support that

And not a word of hate will come out of my mouth

[rapid rivet]

yoooo

[candid solar]

🤨

[rapid rivet]

does anyone actually play>??

[scarlet shale]

I dont know what the game >?? Is

Ill try it if you tell me what its about

Anyone obsessed with frogs?

[hasty zinc]

that is not a conversation we're having here

[fickle drift]

Oh okay I'm just not American I just legit thought they weren't like allowed to do it

TIL I guess I thought that was like the law

[meager linden]

Good morning people of Halo

[waxen rose]

My favorite frog is the one that screams when you try and hold it in your hands

[fickle drift]

I'm happy we've got this safespace from the drama and politics of the real world lol I respect that

[waxen rose]

Im just happy I got a really cute blanket for christmas
It has service dogs on it and it's so fluffy

[faint mantle]

I wish I had blanket weather

[waxen rose]

I mean if you turn your Ac down to 60 then you can cozy up

[faint mantle]

60? That'd be an oven!

[waxen rose]

82 degrees is Florida weather im sorry you have to deal with that

[haughty wraith]

I feel like I lost braincells reading through it

[waxen rose]

15 c

[haughty wraith]

Like, duh if they used AI in replacement of actual devs that'd be bad, but there's no proof lmao

[waxen rose]

That's what I ment <3

[faint mantle]

That one is also death, but for my electric bill 💀

[hushed wren]

So its not real? Im really only learning about this rn

[waxen rose]

LOL

[haughty wraith]

There hasn't been any solid proof from what I can tell

[indigo lotus]

60 degrees F?

[waxen rose]

Got the windows open kinda weather when you could've been in a blanket 💔

[faint mantle]

@hushed wren please refer to this flux diagram.

[hushed wren]

Gotcha. Mb lol

[haughty wraith]

pretty much lol

[waxen rose]

New halo thing!!
Fred isnt in it?
Garbage

proposal for new vendiagram

[haughty wraith]

I'm more of a Linda guy

[hearty flame]

New halo thing!!

[hushed wren]

I like Kelly imo

[hearty flame]

No ODST helmet?
Garbage

[waxen rose]

No recon helmet?
Garbage

[hearty flame]

No Mk V helmet?
Garbage

[haughty wraith]

Get these people a real

[waxen rose]

Honestly if my halo game doesn't have fotus in it it's lowk unplayable

[hearty flame]

Rip CE, you were goated for your time, but no FOTUS, so trash

Rip 2, you were goated for your MP, but no FOTUS, so trash

Rip 3, you were just the actual goat, but no FOTUS, so trash

ODST gets a pass for saxaphone, something future games failed to commit to

[waxen rose]

No fotus? Please delete it off your console
Maybe even throw it away that'll be better

[hearty flame]

MCC? I need FCC. Fotus Chief Collection. All Chief armor is replaced with FOTUS.

[scarlet shale]

My granddad served in the British army in ww2

[waxen rose]

thanks for the chosen one lore

[scarlet shale]

The force was with me today

[candid solar]

NGL the extra variant of bolter they added to Darktide sucks so much

Like maybe I'd like it if it fired faster but as it is it just feels like a worse version of the best model

[scarlet shale]

War hammer mention

Ts balling

[faint mantle]

I couldn't keep focus on a target without having to move the mouse shot-by-shot, so I discarded the bolt rifle and went with the simpler bolt pistol

[scarlet shale]

Granddad dead rho

I forgot for a hot minute

I miss my old man

An hour until halo time guys 🗣🔥

[hushed wren]

Wdym?

[candid solar]

Unsubstantiated rumor.

I'm sure you'll firebomb a walmart or whatever bud

You aren't a furry, you can't afford one.

[candid solar]

I mean, being frank-the normal bolter is just "Hey I really hate that stack of ragers, I do not want to see them" and then proceeding to turn them to mist.

[grave nexus]

darn that’s true

[candid solar]

If you're playing vet, the best simple point-and-kill gun is the plasma gun.

Which, tbf, only the Vet gets. Other classes might get more use of the bolt pistol.

Which is why I don't get the point of the III versus the IIb.

The IIb? Overpens, high fire rate, generally deletes hordes. III? Explodes on hit, generally does not delete hordes, maybe works good on single targets sometimes.

But you're sacrificing 200 damage and a quarter of your mag size to... Not do the things that make the normal bolter a trigger-spam god?

Like if I absolutely need one singular Bulwark dead or something, the IIb does the III's job like 9x better.

[faint mantle]

So nobody saw that?

Neat

[hushed wren]

I did

[candid solar]

:3

[candid solar]

Nope, I didn't see anything. In fact, I just want to rant about how dogwater the Locke MkIII Bolter in Darktide is.

[hushed wren]

Never played Darktide

[candid solar]

You should, it's good

[faint mantle]

I leveled up the Arbites to lvl 30 in two days with my brother and my cousin

I would keep playing if I didn't have a virus

[candid solar]

Duuuude. The Arbites is so good.

[steep lion]

My predicting the future has improved significantly in shooting games, I just need to work on an area called problem solving does this improve within time or how do I work on this?

[hushed wren]

ARBITER?! Jk

[faint mantle]

(Body virus*)

[candid solar]

NGL, I do think the defining line between a good Arbites and a bad one is how willing they are to go for the Lone Wolf talent.

Because, really, ditching your dog is basically kicking off the training wheels of a frankly busted as hell class.

[faint mantle]

Maybe later

[candid solar]

And maybe I'm tooting my own horn again, but I almost exclusively never run with the dog.

Grenade regen is stupid strong with the Arbites.

Because 2/3 grenades are really good.

[candid solar]

If you want builds at some point I have suggestions.

[hushed wren]

Can you play as a Battle Sister?

[candid solar]

You mean a Sister of Battle? No.

... And now I suddenly wish there was a game where we could play as a Custodes, just so that the option of playing as a nonbinary Custodes was available. I want to see the usual suspects die of gatekeeping starvation.

Anyways, no, you can play as a fem Arbites.

[hushed wren]

Im looking into Darktide

[candid solar]

No Sister of Battle. And maybe it's getting into the weeds, but I never liked the Sisters of Battle anyways.

[candid solar]

You can still get your insane religious zealot woman fix in via the Zealot.

[hushed wren]

I just like the armor tbh

[verbal nymph]

I should draw Jorge eating the Round Meal

[faint mantle]

No, but you can play as a Zealot with the same hair style and hair color as a Sister of Battle

[hushed wren]

RussianBadger reference

[candid solar]

I mean after a certain point with zealot, you're just a Repentia with a ranged weapon and some dignity in choice of clothing.

[verbal nymph]

"Serves 3 men"

[hushed wren]

I would send the Jorge dunking on Chief gif but I don’t have image perms😭

[candid solar]

NGL the round meal is great for like

Soup kitchen type stuff

Which reminds me, I need to see what Punks with lunch is up to for the new year.

[verbal nymph]

Why didn't Carter just use the Pelican's seat ejection? Is he stupid?

[scarlet shale]

How to do it, boil in bag, open and enjoy

[candid solar]

And people wonder why they have microplastics in their netherlands.

[scarlet shale]

Lol

[verbal nymph]

Are there any confirmed members of the Orion Project other than Johnson?

[faint mantle]

I just looked up their site, very neat cause

[faint mantle]

They're either dead from the augmentations or died in suicide missions, there isn't a lot of lore on them aside from Johnson

ONI classified most of the information

[verbal nymph]

Is there an actual reason why Carter didn't eject from the Pelican? Do Pelicans not have ejector seats or something?

[coral yoke]

i swear someone has that exact gif on their discord profile but i don't remember who

[verbal nymph]

Do you guys also have Halo game music in the background when you read the Halo books?

[fast latch]

Does the AI news scare everyone else too?

[coral yoke]

no because it's a false rumor lmao

[fast latch]

I dont think it is. Either way Im deleting the games from my library

[coral yoke]

there are books?

[fast latch]

I think its super disappointing for the franchise to go this route

[coral yoke]

what makes you say that?

[bright patrol]

You made a huge impact, thanks man

[fast latch]

The admittance to there being gen-ai in Infinite according to developers, so yea Im done with this franchsie. Scrolling up I see Im not alone in it either

[candid solar]

Hey buddy did you hear that the bridge is also super healthy to jump off

[coral yoke]

i wouldn't rely on those clickbait tubers buddy

[candid solar]

You're not alone in believing bullcrap rumors spread by people who tend to spread misinfo anyways? Damn right, pal.

Have fun being gullible, I suppose.

[fast latch]

Wow I think its kind of messed up to make a joke that I should kermit jsut cause Im not happy about there being coinfirmed gen-ai in Halo games now

[candid solar]

If that's how you took that, it kinda explains a lot.

[fast latch]

Anyways its not surpsising that others seem to be deleting the game either. Maybe Halo studios should come out and address this situation openly

[bright patrol]

It spells gullible on the ceiling or something

[candid solar]

Do you also believe aliens exist and have directly not influenced you to not or to, believe in chemtrails?

[coral yoke]

ok maybe that's a little much.

[verbal nymph]

What happened? I'm not caught up

[candid solar]

Idiots are believing the rumors of idiots.

[fast latch]

Your insinutaion that Im stupid makes me realize that this isnt a very welcoming place. Its a shame this is how the community acts

[candid solar]

When the carpets match the drapes, the typewriter-beliving apes, etc.

[fast latch]

Halo infinite and MCC now have gen-ai in them and it'll be used for the next installment

[coral yoke]

just a little playground rumor or something.

[agile orchid]

They are insulting each other in a nice way

[coral yoke]

..the hell did i just say playground rumor?

[candid solar]

Which isn't true or proven, but hey, thanks for beliving rumor mills.

[bright patrol]

Thats just incredibly wrong lmao

[fast latch]

Its not, new forge maps are made with gen-ai

[candid solar]

Prove it.

Where is your proof. if it's so solid, you can prove it, right here, right now.

[bright patrol]

Current Halo games only have one use of ai, and thats the one for the enemies you fight. There isnt any generative Ai in the games as of now

[fast latch]

Nah not my job. I am jsut saying it sucks that AI us being used so openly in a once interesting franchise

[candid solar]

So, you can't prove it. So you're a liar.

[fast goblet]

AI gets used in mostly everything now, to some extent.

[candid solar]

Prove. It.

[fast latch]

Nah Im not lying. They openly said gen-ai is being used for the MCC and infinite

[coral yoke]

that is quite literally impossible for mcc's case without yknow time travel.

[bright patrol]

Like that game you have your clan tag on!

[candid solar]

Who? Provide proof.

[fast goblet]

For placeholders that got patched out lol

[fast latch]

I jsut think its such a shame to use gen-ai in this franchise, takes away from the creativity and integrity

[indigo lotus]

This might be an alternate account from the same individual about couple hours ago

[candid solar]

Provide proof.

[fickle drift]

We talking about Aliens?

[fast goblet]

I’m not defending or denying anything, just a fact. I have no idea what this guy is yapping about with MCC or Infinite.

[fast latch]

ai-liens

[candid solar]

Then you'll have no issue providing proof.

[fast goblet]

Of what? 😭

[fast latch]

You're a feisty one huh

[candid solar]

Yeah, sorry, I don't believe random lies spread by people with malicious intent, such as @fast latch

You need something actually substantial.

[fast latch]

Im really soryr it upsets you so much. Its also not my problem though. Gen-ai is in halo and its staying unfortunetly, such a shame

[coral yoke]

right anyway.

[fickle drift]

Like Aliens that are AI or like Aliens from AI?

[candid solar]

Damn, bro, why you gotta make it so emotional?

[fast latch]

I believe its ai in Halo, gen-ai to be exact. In Infinite especially apparently

[fickle drift]

The Roaring Knight!!

[candid solar]

Only cowards make it emotional. This isn't a matter of emotion, and I'm sorry that me disagreeing with you makes you so intent on projecting your cowardice.

[fast goblet]

I can prove I ate a burger today. I have a receipt.

[fickle drift]

Is AI being used in a video game ever that serious lol

[fast latch]

Im not projecting excpet stating that the new use if Gen AI is really gross for this franchise

[fast goblet]

To me? Hell naw.

[candid solar]

All I hear is the braying of a crying misinfo spreader.

[fickle drift]

Is that really what the dramas all about lol?

[fast latch]

nah no misinfo, gen-ai is gonna ruin this franchise. Its cool seeing people uninstall

[candid solar]

Provide proof.

[indigo lotus]

This has to be the same person who was being dramatic about ai about three hours ago.

[fickle drift]

Am I missing something? It just sounds like a lot of whining about gen-ai being in Halo when you can like just not play the game lol

[bright patrol]

Ai will be the death of us

[candid solar]

They're whine-crying about something that doesn't exist.

[fickle drift]

Not Halo AI 😭

[fast goblet]

It’s not that deep

[bright patrol]

Thats what their doing, but coming over here to complain anyways lol

[fast latch]

Im actually stating the fact that gen-ai is being used over creative decisions in Halo now officially

[bright patrol]

Uh oh, its the bad guys

[candid solar]

If you're stating a fact, you can prove it. Where is the proof.

If there is proof, you can provide links to it.

[faint mantle]

@fast latch just to be clear: Here, the burden of proof is on you. You came in saying that Halo announced they're going to use GenAI, therefore you are responsible for providing the proof in the argument. No one here has to prove you wrong.

[fast latch]

Thats really cool man. Anyways gen-ai seems to be here to stay in the franchise

[faint mantle]

I suggest you guide yourself by this flowchart.

[candid solar]

Prove it.

[fast latch]

Why do you keep attacking me man

[candid solar]

Where is your proof, dude.

[fickle drift]

Wait so theres no proof there even using AI? Lol

[fast latch]

Meh not really my problem. Just trying to talk about the fact that gen-ai is a bad idea

[candid solar]

It's not an attack to ask you to provide the bare minimum of evidence.

[coral yoke]

they really aren't lmao. just wants your source.

[fast goblet]

Go yap about this to the Arc Raiders Discord or something smh

[coral yoke]

and/or whatever's backing your source.

[fickle drift]

Bucky Barnes sounds like he's got a Savior complex and is taking Halo way to seriously lol

[faint mantle]

Moving on

[candid solar]

Right? I hate LLMs, but I want proof of the issue, not unsubstantiated rumor.

[faint mantle]

This piece of meat looks like the UK

[fickle drift]

"Move-Along, Move-Along like I know you dooo!~" 🗣️ 🎤 🎸

[candid solar]

... Politics...

[indigo lotus]

Small piece of meat it looks like

[fast goblet]

Now eat it

[fickle drift]

Ireland's in the UK and Ireland rocks

[faint mantle]

Now I need a USA-shaped empanada to make it funny

[candid solar]

But yeah I wish people were more able to realize bad faith attacks are bad faith attacks.

[faint mantle]

I wonder if there are Texas-shaped empanadas out there

[candid solar]

Like, now, more than ever, it really pays to recognize when people are stirring crap because they actually want to make things in the world worse

[fast goblet]

What about a Master Chief shaped burger

[candid solar]

And Halo, for whatever reason, is an excellent opportunity to do so

[fickle drift]

Master Chief Burger King or like Carl Jr's meal would rock

[fast goblet]

People like virtue signaling about stuff

[indigo lotus]

Oh boy, what are the chances and odds of a piece of meet being shaped of a country like USA, Japan and continent Europe for example?

[fickle drift]

Online Virtue Signalling is just sorta sad lol, There's a difference between good nice lived normal day beliefs and being a loud jerk about them online because you just want the attention and some goody-points or have people calling you great or whatever, It's totally shallow and just sorta silly lol

[faint mantle]

A deep life is a good life

[fast goblet]

I like vidya game

[candid solar]

It's more vice signalling.

[fickle drift]

The moment you start doing or preaching something good just because you want people to think/call you good you sorta lose the plot lol, In simpler words

[candid solar]

People need to learn the social difference between vice, virtue signalling, as well as learning bad faith engagement in either.

What our friend was engaging in was both vice signalling and bad-faith virtue signalling.

Virtue being anti-AI (Virtue) but also anti-information (Vice).

If someone refuses to provide evidence, even for a virtuous cause, it calls into doubt the actual virtue of the cause they are refusing to provide virtue for.

The intent, in that case, is to provide a negative perspective on a positive perspective.

[fickle drift]

Sorta like ragebaiting? Lol

[candid solar]

No, it's more insidious and intentionally confusing.

[fickle drift]

Literally me lol since when was just playing Halo so deep?

I used to like Halo 'cause it brang average guys, dudebros and gamer girls together over one simple universally cool thing

[candid solar]

It never really was, but that's besides the point

[fickle drift]

I think we can all agree AI is bad but I feel like infesting our few safe-spots of escapism in such a confusing time does more harm than good lol, Let us just enjoy what we like

[candid solar]

To use a hypothetical: I am anti-thievery, and my organization is called Anti-Thievery-Trenchbird. ATTB.

But some guy comes out of nowhere and says that ATTB is pro-thievery. And they spread that everywhere and even pay people to spread that.

But ATTB, all the while, is paying for anti-thief lawyers.

Who do you believe? The one saying ATTB is pro-thief, or the ATTB itself, which is currently embroiled in trying to stop multiple thiefs via legal court options?

[fickle drift]

ATTB sounds right here

[candid solar]

It's more insidious than ragebait. It's trying to claim anticorruption is corrupt, without evidence or realistic perspective of anything.

[fickle drift]

Darn thats pretty hardcore lol!

[candid solar]

Understanding how misinformation-especially counter-counter-misinformation-works, is hard to do.

Like, my field of expertise is literally calling out bad actors.

And it can be hard for me, because even my most effective rhetorical arguments sometimes can't work on people.

As in, I am literally going to college to make sure people don't fall for lies.

[fast goblet]

Now, admittedly, vice signaling isn’t something I’m familiar with lol. I’m simple and stay to my corner of likes and interests, so it’s interesting to see all sides and shades of these issues that people have.

[fickle drift]

This dude gets it lol

[candid solar]

To make it simple; (Group) is evil and trying to steal jobs is vice signalling.

To say, in depth, how evil you think a group is, is vice signalling.

Like; Vice signalling is best described as false presenting that killing all of a group is a prevention of theft, even if said group is nowhere near responsible for said theft.

Do you think someone who provides food to the poor and infirm is bad because of the position of said poor and infirm? You may be falling for vice signalling.

[haughty wraith]

Jesus what did I miss lmao

[fast goblet]

Definitely something.

[candid solar]

It's a hard concept to grasp, but understanding that the concept is something you need to grasp is intensely needed, as a failiure to do so is intensely bad.

[haughty wraith]

I can see that

[fast goblet]

I’m all for learning from all sides of an argument. I’m picking up what you’re putting down. 🫡

[candid solar]

Someone spreading misinfo.

Right now I'm trying to point out why it was misinfo, and why you need diligence.

[haughty wraith]

Ah

[candid solar]

Like, the most important part of any message is the accuracy of it, vetted through who is telling you the message and why.

Who is delivering it, what is the veracity of the deliverer, and what is the information environment it is being provided through, at what time and why.

[blazing idol]

The Halo Studios AI thing for me is less "oh this is happening" and more a creeping fear of Microsoft going to do what they always do and screw stuff up

[candid solar]

basically, yes. It is unsubstantiated hearsay from an understandable vector but one that lacks accountable claims of veracity.

[haughty wraith]

I hate AI being used to replace actual people, but yeah there isn't any evidence of HS using it

[fickle drift]

AI is so weird it's like everyone hates it and it's not like a real person/force that can like fight back or anything or hurt us but people still aren't doing anything to stop it

[haughty wraith]

I mean you really can't

[candid solar]

From personal experience with Halo Studios employees, I am wholly unconvinced that they are trying to use it in an appreciable sense.

[fickle drift]

Like this AI stuff could end really easily, Just make some quick laws and punishments that's it

[candid solar]

As I have been directly dressed down and corrected for thinking, mistakenly, that concept art was Gen AI.

[candid minnow]

no

[blazing idol]

I remember that. Seeing that was a "nature is healing" moment for me ngl

[haughty wraith]

That is literally impossible here

Have you seen the state of everything?

[candid solar]

I made an ill-advised allusion to Racism as being Gen-AI driven and frankly I stand by it, as the base philosophy is the same.

Opposition to ill-Identified group is, negatively, inspired by said negative activity.

[fickle drift]

AI isn't like a military or a person or a real force it's at the end of the day, A man-made tool, We could just make new rules/laws around it and limit what it can do relatively easily if anyone with the authority to do so locked-in lol

[candid solar]

I think all green people are meant to make everyone green, ergo, I think all green people are evil./s

This is the logic that drives the assumption of, in turn, that people owned by Microsoft wholeheartedly belief in the ideals of Microsoft.

Despite all evidence to the contrary.

[blazing idol]

I doubt many people at HS are wanting to use Gen AI, it is just the eldritch horror whose lust for power has no limit known only as "Microsoft" really wants to make the billion they threw into AI tech worth something so their shareholders stay happy

[haughty wraith]

The certain terrible bill that passed made it legally impossible to regulate AI for the next 10 years iirc

I wish it were that easy

[blazing idol]

The ban on state regulation was cut I think

[candid solar]

Which they are visibly against! Because Microsoft is reducing its AI initiatives due to lack of in-office adoption!

[fickle drift]

Oh fr? I'm not American and not super up to date on the USA's news lol guess that's new lol

[haughty wraith]

That would definitely explain it, this country is an absolute madhouse lol

[blazing idol]

Keep in mind that the tech is reliant on massive, environmentally damaging data centers and without them they can't exist on a massive scale

[sonic tusk]

Life is halo

[candid solar]

Do y'all get my point though?

Understanding the nature of a message's deliverer, is just as, if not more important than, understanding the message itself.

Like, not to make this me-centric, but if I am genuinely wrong and find it such, I will correct accordingly, because I have no reason to mislead you. I want the best possible truth to continue.

But if I was someone who wanted a subject, such as the truth, to die; I'd do everything I could to slander it, lie about it, ensure you never found it.

[haughty wraith]

AI could be used for good but it actively destroys the enviroment and makes stuff like ram incredibly expensive, it is a complete net negative for every normal person, it's a gimmick

[candid solar]

You need to understand that the source of information is as vital as why someone states the source of it.

[tulip yacht]

there is no ethical use of ai

[candid solar]

And why the virtue of being virtuous, the virtue of pursuing truth and reality, is the best you can achieve.

[blazing idol]

Because nobody asked for any of this. I wish they'd put more effort into

Managing games studios properly
Making their flagship OS work
Not shoving invasive features down your throat
Making an Xbox UI that isn't garbage
Stop making Windows glorified spyware
Ect.

[candid solar]

Oh, yeah, Microsoft is crap.

Like, no argument from me here, I hate their current direction as a company.

But that's where the nuance lies. I don't expect Halo Studios to adopt AI as a company due to the nature of those who work for it; But that can be changed by new information. But unsourcable info from people unrelated to it, is open to doubt.

[haughty wraith]

Dude, imagine how much better Halo could be if microsoft kept their hands out of it and let the devs be creative

[candid solar]

It is so easy to make money by lying.

The truth doesn't pay, financially.

Which is why I'll never give a single solitary damn about how much money I have.

If telling the truth costs me everything, I will tell the truth.

[lucid zephyr]

money can make life more comfortable

[candid solar]

Comfort is not worth a conscience.

I'll die in agony if the alternative is a comfortable life.

[lucid zephyr]

conscience is subjective but money is material

[haughty wraith]

I would rather every single person be treated equally than have a single dollar again

[candid solar]

And if you truly think that way, I feel sorry for you.

[blazing idol]

I hate to sound like one of those erm actually guys but the truth is that Microsoft doesn't even exist in a Capitalist system. Capitalism, by definition, requires competition. Microsoft has, since at least the 90s actively fought to kill any and all competition. If they did have actual competition they probably wouldn't pull half the crap they do. Unfortunately, Apple's reach is only so far and Linux is too niche for joe-schmoe (me) to want to adopt (even though Windows 11 sucks)

[fickle drift]

This is a weirdly deep yap session for a Halo server

[candid solar]

Actually, it's reallynot, lmao

[fickle drift]

Me personally I like shooting alien bugs can I get a hell yeah?

[verbal nymph]

AI should be used to help people, not replace people

[candid solar]

Halo 5's plot touches on this, for example

[haughty wraith]

we're so starved for content we gotta do this lmfao

[candid solar]

Money is not material btw.

[lucid zephyr]

Unfortunately Win11 is dysfunctional AI slop and Linux is easier to install than ever before and also free

[fickle drift]

AI is a fake demon lol, We're gonna get it all under control soon lol

[candid solar]

The US has used a fiat currency for over 50 years.

[lucid zephyr]

okay sure if you live in a fiat economy

[blazing idol]

Something something Tron from 1982 informs all my opnions on Technology and its impact on our lives (i am only half-joking)

[candid solar]

... I got bad news for you, pal.

[blazing idol]

AI isn't the problem. It is the people who control it

[verbal nymph]

AI is working the opposite way we thought it would 10 years ago

People are working hard so the AI can focus on things like art

[tulip yacht]

ai is the problem vro

[haughty wraith]

Why can't we have the cool ai like cortana

We got grok bro

[verbal nymph]

Also computer parts are expensive and low on stock now

[fickle drift]

yall I have the flu.

[haughty wraith]

Yeah I brought this up earlier

[candid solar]

Different types of 'AI".

[fickle drift]

Reason why is most boomers and lots of people in general see art as disposeable and gimmicky n just fun to look at

[candid wigeon]

wait, when did they announce this???

[candid solar]

Grok isn't real.

[fickle drift]

Won’t be online and chatting because I have the flu.

[candid solar]

Nowhere. it's a lie.

[candid wigeon]

wtf i hate gen ai, support real art

[haughty wraith]

they didn't because it isnt real

[candid wigeon]

damn i was worried

[candid solar]

... How the hell do you have a username informed by Breaking Bad but believe that crap?

[deep copper]

[blazing idol]

All technology is an extention of the people who design it and use it. People who make technology for the reasons of greed, war, or tyranny are in fact, greedy/warmongerers/wannabe tyrants

[fickle drift]

Thats just a normal fun tv show lol

[candid wigeon]

i stated googling but i can’t find articles that disprove they are not using gen AI

[fickle drift]

hope i feel better soon. wish me luck.

[verbal nymph]

It feels like most of the bigger problems in the US are caused by boomers

[candid solar]

If by normal you mean something with painfully obvious lessons people refuse to learn despite consuming it, sure.

[haughty wraith]

Almost all of them, and young people that mindlessly follow said old people

[candid solar]

Anyone who thinks that Walter is a good person, for example, is clearly very freaking wrong.

[verbal nymph]

Who's Walter?

[haughty wraith]

Good? No, good story and arcs? Yeah

[candid solar]

Walter White.

[blazing idol]

Oh wait this goes right back to that comment about Tron. one of these days I'm just gonna write a paper or make a video about that film's themes because holy crap does it go deeper than "jeff bridges in computer world"

[verbal nymph]

Oh, I thought you meant a real person named Walter, like a political figure

[candid solar]

Well, yeah. Good vs good, good being virtue and good being analytic, is different.

Walter's arc is not good, but it is good.

[haughty wraith]

Exactly

[tulip yacht]

ai can't do anything unless people use it and if its only controlled by greed, its already consuming marking so ai is the problem

[haughty wraith]

I should really watch breaking bad

[hushed wren]

You should. Its a good show

[fickle drift]

Sadly just because something is super popular and influential and has lots of great lessons and morals to be learnt from it dosen't mean people are gonna get, understand, take-on or live by them lol trust me I know, General audiences aren't lookung for deep meaning there looking to be comforted and feel-good first!

[haughty wraith]

I find it hilarious how the whole ai bubble is gonna burst soon, like the models are training off of slop generated by other models and it's muddying up their processes

[fickle drift]

Mad Cow disease lol

[candid solar]

... Holly, I'm nearly 30. And an academic to boot.

Me knowing people are absolute idiots is as natural to me as understanding how blood flows.

[blazing idol]

Right, because people have designed it that way. The issue goes beyond just the technology. It is the people who make it and want to use it to impose their will.
To use an analogy- it is fine to hate the weapons that kill people in a war, but you have to ask "who is building weapons in the first place and why"
does that make sense? Idk it is late

[haughty wraith]

I think we can all agree that billionaires and trillionaires are society's biggest issue

They are literally the root cause of almost all of our problems

[candid solar]

Honestly, the society that allows them is worse.

You may be brave enough to hate the billionaire. But are you brave enough to hate the millionaires, thousandaires, who think the billionaires are right?

[haughty wraith]

I don't understand people that treat them like they're gods

[blazing idol]

People want to find other people to look up to

[fickle drift]

"It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" - My GOAT Jesus Christ in the Gospel

[haughty wraith]

Then why not look up to good people

[candid solar]

And it is a significant weakness to do so.

[blazing idol]

Unfortunately, idolizing people never tends to go well

[candid solar]

Idolatry is a sin.

And it is so for a reason. Even if I don't believe in sins.

[haughty wraith]

Aspiring to be like good people is a good thing to do

[candid solar]

I want to care for the poor as he does, is a different thing from wanting to be as they are.

[blazing idol]

People are inheritly imperfect, that is why you shouldn't idolize them

[tulip yacht]

yea its just the use of ai thats been wrong but thats what makes ai the problem and the people who use it, cause people use it the wrong way

[blazing idol]

Pretty much. Such things are better spent on finding ideas/philosophies/morals to guide your life on

[fickle drift]

People who worship celebrities like freaking Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, Sabrina Carpenter or Kim Kardashian are SO bloody weird

[blazing idol]

It is one thing to admire a quality about somebody, it is another to idolize them or treat them as perfect

[muted rose]

Yes all media and art I engage with is only for dopamine hits

Sure

[fickle drift]

That's the way a lot of people think lol

Heck even I think like that sometimes lol

[muted rose]

Well at least you recognize it

[haughty wraith]

My brother

It ruins people

[fast goblet]

A lot of conversation ain’t worth the squeeze to me. I like being a silent observer most of the time. Today I learned some new things thanks to you guys.

[fickle drift]

He's just like me fr!

[haughty wraith]

I talk alot

[fickle drift]

That's cool me to!

Irl that is lol, mostly about spreading positivity and joy n stuff tho

[tulip yacht]

nvm

[haughty wraith]

I usually gush about stuff I like to my friends or voice my profound amount of hate for the government

[tulip yacht]

i hope any other loved game franchise don't end up using gen ai in future

[lucid zephyr]

i dont live in USA

[fickle drift]

I only ever get deep when I talk about like the Holy Bible and God lol

[lucid zephyr]

you are so real for that

[haughty wraith]

It's good to see people that use their religion to love one another and not just hate

[fickle drift]

Usually I really just enjoy talking about like more peaceful casual lighthearted stuff most of the time lol

[lucid zephyr]

did i kill the chat im sorry 😭

[fickle drift]

Nah dude that was awesome!

[summer epoch]

hi chat

[signal wedge]

so you be playing weeb games

[haughty wraith]

3:43 am

[candid solar]

They did it again...

[haughty wraith]

Make a wish

[signal wedge]

I hope santa gets shot down by a patriot missile

[candid solar]

It's about to get even worse then.

[haughty wraith]

no...

[signal wedge]

Cortana is self contained within a system. Our AI run on data centers that melt water

but its okay

[lucid zephyr]

yes

[signal wedge]

c.ai is good enough. You can talk to the mother of dragons

[errant vortex]

Are y'all using AI on CEV

@mr.halo are you using AI

[warm nimbus]

What

[warm nimbus]

Why are you asking about ai

[obsidian wyvern]

i saw rebs himself, who started this whole thing, had to tweet that everyone was taking it way out of proportion

[warm nimbus]

We are in an ai bubble

[errant vortex]

@mr.halo I'm sorry pls don't take me away

[warm nimbus]

Fail tag

[errant vortex]

@halo

@bro

[warm nimbus]

Stop using @

You can't even do it right

[errant vortex]

ok :⁠-⁠[

[analog knot]

He made basically the exact same comment a few months ago, it blew up and then he made the same clarification 😂 It’s almost like he wants it to happen

[warm nimbus]

Is he someone in this server

[analog knot]

I have no idea nor do I care

[static swallow]

i hope it burst

i want games to be made by human beings not regurgitated data

[steady jolt]

Games are still being made by humans

[static swallow]

yeah for now

[obsidian wyvern]

as long as he gets clout

[cedar turret]

I hear they're outsourcing coding to Panda Bears now.

[topaz sequoia]

.

So I'm new to the server can anyone explain to me what do you do in this server?

[obsidian wyvern]

speak

[topaz sequoia]

Genious

[topaz sequoia]

Thanks

[obsidian wyvern]

i gotchu

[steady jolt]

All future games being written in Bamboo

[ocean herald]

Mostly just Reach praise and we convene on Wednesday’s for H4 slander

No need to confirm this btw

[topaz sequoia]

Thanks to you too

[obsidian wyvern]

he got it wrong, we hate on reach too

halo players hate on every halo game

[topaz sequoia]

I mean I remember Reach it was a really good game but there are also good other halo games!

[meager linden]

Good evening people of Halo

[harsh girder]

Halo reach is my top 4 halo game

[compact herald]

Reach was peak

[harsh girder]

Good game but i didn’t like the missions in that game

[rare cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/panda-new-gif-26220680

It’s true

[grand cedar]

🐼

[compact herald]

Sir could you please make that make sense in monkey terms

[harsh girder]

The mission in reach are just repetitive

[coral yoke]

well hey it ain't halo 1.

[harsh girder]

There are only a few missions that stand out

The story the game tells is good but the mission structure/design is not that good

[severe zinc]

Is halo ce library on legendary hard?

[blazing cave]

It is if you stand still

[candid solar]

Chat are birds real

[grand cedar]

nah

[coral yoke]

they've never been real trench

[muted copper]

Hi there

[candid solar]

Bye where

[muted copper]

Can i ask som?

[candid solar]

No

[muted copper]

Does the master chief collection downloads slow for everyone cuz i've downloaded games with more file size and it took a lot less time

[grand cedar]

[harsh girder]

how do you guys feel about halo using gen AI

[grand cedar]

no thanks to that ^

[coral yoke]

nothing because it doesn't.

end of discussion.
