So Halo 3 Flighting is in full swing. Some initial thoughts:

- Game runs like PURE BUTTER on PC at 60fps, so smooth.
- Forge has SOME Reach features; rotation snap, phased/fixed editing, and fine editing through points-system. HOWEVER, it still has the clunky UI, and janky physics while moving things around. I died to the Guardians several times while trying to make a basic map on Foundry because the camera kept swinging me all over the place.
- Can't lower the FoV to XB1/360 angle, it's really awkward seeing your weapon and character arm take up so much of the screen.
- Griefing team-killers & Sweatlord Tryhards rampant in MM; waiting for 8v8 for the more casual experience.

I've watched more anime and played more games these last three months than the last three years combined.

I'm a sucker for graphic tees, especially if they're limited run prints or have artwork that isn't really seen. I have several Final Fantasy shirts (one of them being a 30th Anniversary special) and whenever I go out with friends I almost always get a comment from some stranger while wearing it. Also got others like Halo, Megacon (still have Vien's shirt to give him BTW), a few Gundam ones; brother went to a Miku concert up in NY so he picked up a tee for me, also got one from work for the wildlife conservation fund for increasing donations by over 500% in my old location.

Only problem is, I really only wear jeans and a tee-shirt in the summer cause of the heat. My preferred fashion/style is more male-nanchatte; any other season I wear button up shirts with a sweater-vest and tie.

« on: June 07, 2020, 05:23:31 PM »
I'm rewatching/restarting Kill La Kill since I never finished it and I forgot where I left off at. Four episodes in and I am absolutely loving this show.

I also watched Angel's Egg two nights ago for the first time. I don't know how to really feel about this since I watched it with a migraine and admittedly it flew over my head, but my basic opinion is that for a movie that's only 70 minutes long, it could have greatly benefited from only being 30-45 minutes long.

I had a beard from June of last year through January. Despite others saying I looked better with one, I didn't care for it myself so I chopped it off; I have no plans of growing another one.

No. This video was posted on a Discord server I'm in; I thought it was cute so I reposted it here. As for Vtubers/streamers in general, I don't find watching someone else play a game (usually one I don't even play myself anyways) for over an hour to be entertaining.

Ian I'm worried about you...
Do you really watch this crap?

I didn't think about this before but I remember getting Korean BBQ when I went up to NY last year and other than the food just being all around good it was drenched in sauce yeah.

This reminds me

What's up with Korean food
I was on a Korean street food binge for a while and their food is always drenched in sauce (like five different sauces too), full of sugar, and ketchup is always involved somehow

Kennedy Space Center reopened (and has been getting a lot of extra attention thanks to Elon Musk), Universal is opening this month, Disney is opening next month. I have plenty of money in both my savings and checking account so I should be able to hold out comfortably until July 11th.

I actually got extremely lucky and had been keeping up with corona news, in early March before the closures of everything I bought an entire power rack and some weights for my garage. So I have been able to exercise completely like normal. If anything I’ve been working out 10x harder just because I felt blessed to have the setup that I did and less distractions in my garage lol

Have you gotten notified about going back yet? I heard Florida signed off on something related to amusement parks

I see closed gyms and forced stay-at-home orders have not prevented you from keeping up with your Saiyan genetics. Meanwhile I can tell I've gained ten pounds over the last two months since the 20k steps a day and other manual tasks at work was the only workout I got.

I saw that, I'm also happy to see armor customization for Halo 3. They even increased the forge budget and added new items/possibilities in Halo 3. What I really want it Halo 3 Forge with at least Reach QoL features, maybe even H4/2A with magnets. I wont hold my breath though.





Meme-team, assemble.
Its still in Design stage, but good news. Maybe in a month's time it will move up to being actually added into the game.

I would've bought the Red Comet myself but I'm a sucker for Char's units. The nearest store for buying Gunpla outside Mitsukoshi at Epcot is in Downtown Orlando, I'd rather just get them from HobbyLinkJapan though since they're usually cheaper online even with my 35% discount at Mitsukoshi.



Look what I found at Hobby Lobby when I was looking for miniature basing materials.

I bought the Gouf

I appear to be suffering from Matchmaking-Anxiety even in social matches. I can play well and rarely do I get a match where I go negative, but the anxiety isn't really tied to my performance directly, but just how garbage my teammates tend to be. I'm so sick of getting players who go -17 or -25 and I'm having to carry their pathetic asses just to make sure the enemy team doesn't get a Steaktacular. Doesn't matter if it's 4v4 or 8v8, seeing teammates grab the sniper on Valhalla (which I'm getting way too much in 8v8) and run through the man-cannon by themselves when six enemies are waiting for him is just infuriating. And that's just one common instance among many I see.

Were players really better back during the 360 era or is my nostalgia-goggles making it appear that way? I know I was pretty shit myself back then but I don't think that would've blinded me to other players being bad.

Also human lives have higher value than property, end story.
I don't disagree, but the original tweet I linked talked about burning down white neighborhoods and stores, can we say that such widespread destruction to property wouldn't cause physical harm to innocent lives? Can we say that about the destruction we're seeing now?

No, corporations who care more about profit margins above all else. I'm talking about the penny pinching that squeezes every last dime out of both employees and customers so that execs can horde their wealth while the rest of the country continues to fall into disarray. I don't really think I need to spell it out for you further, you should know what I'm talking about.
If it's about executive pay and profits, I covered this to an extent with E but stopped because I didn't want to derail the thread further. I can continue such discussion with you elsewhere if you'd like though.

If by the economic position we're in in the first place? Do you mean the massive unemployment caused by a pandemic? I don't really see how one can blame companies for what a virus did so maybe you mean something else?

Implying it's a bad thing to kick out the corporations that have led us to the economic position we're in now in the first place. Why should I feel bad for predatory companies that value profit margins over human lives?

EDIT: I will respond to the first point in another post now that I see where it coming from.

So any group of people can go in and cause chaos in these riots and wouldn't be manipulative because they didn't organize? I'm not saying that's incorrect, but that's awfully convenient considering how people are complaining on social media about such groups causing damage to the protests validity and that sources are saying BLM groups are organizing.

Also BLM and ANTIFA aren't a monolith, there are no leaders. That's were the "CEO of ANTIFA" meme comes from, because it demonstrates a ridiculous and complete lack of understanding of how any of this shit actually functions.

Two SEED kits. Regardless of the quality of the show, I find their mech designs to be pretty good given when they were released (and the waifus were alright to an extent).

Eewww a Seed kit.

Im still debating on if I should get the two 00 Qants to mod my Unicorn with.

After doing some cleanup in my tiny apartment room to add in some new shelving units (they're "meh") I now have space for ONE (1) (Uno) model kit at the top, but over the years I have gotten my hands on six different kits. All the ones at my mom's place are broken (I'm really bummed about the MG Turn A) so I can't use any I've already built.

Which one should I put together?

Ian you really have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

>Honestly if you can, burn down white neighborhoods so companies are afraid to move back there. Then after the property value lowers enough, buy the neighborhood mad cheap and rebuild it. This is a real opportunity to flip the gentrification cycle.

Excuse me while I find one more so I can fit the definition of "a few"**; unless you're saying this movement isn't about BLM/George Floyd's death at all, which it is; or that Antifa isn't involved, which they are (along with other radical groups).
