Do I want to?

You want to see memes, my friend?

Hokay. I'll give you a meme.

Long time ago, yeah.

I always hated how you couldn't actually play the small nimble classes outside of multiplayer. The campaign bots practically require you to be a tank so you can have some hope of completing objectives.

I mean, I played it when the MP was still active and it managed to be fun.

But that game is the shining achievement and definition of "could have been so much more."

Somebody needs to take a second shot at that game and do it right.

Verb.

Just remember that you made Moriarty money by selling him those cigarrettes. Because he just sold them to someone else for a higher price.

GG

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. You can't prove that. I know he smokes.

You are now imagining Moriarty with an entire box of cigarettes in his mouth as he desperately chain smokes the entire package without even opening it in his back bar office after you sold them to him.

Also, I hope another lore master can answer this. During The Breaking, The Warden says humanity was never supposed to reclaim the Mantle, and that the Librarian always wanted humanity's created to inherit it instead. What the actual fuck? So whenever Spark was calling Chief a Reclaimer he meant Cortana? Can't be...so that cutscene from Halo 4 w/librarian meant nothing? What's her plan? "You are the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning..." Why would she want Cortana to do what she's doing? Lets just make the Librarian a villain now too huh 343i?

Gee it's like The Warden was a different Forerunner with his own opinions and viewpoints. And a military construct at that.

Kind of like how Didact believes humanity to be the biggest threat and problem, with the Forerunners claiming ownership of the Mantle, while Librarian believed otherwise and renounced the Mantle, in the end.

It's totally not like the Warden could just say what he believes is right.

Apathetic, unfulfilled, disenfranchised and alienated sums up 90% of me and my life, and yet caring, empathetic, and engaged are things I actively try to project or give to people.

I'm not angry. Just tired.

But being tired doesn't mean I can't give decent things to people or others. I've got more care pulling me along than anger that faded years ago, and more caring, enough to give me a push past my own tiredness if I need it too. Caring about the state of others is the only thing I've got, really.

Anybdou remember when it was codenamed project Natal?

Those had better be some really shitty song lyrics there, Jive.

-Society in general
-Hard time-prisoners

I have a feeling that Durandal would be very proud of Cortana.

As would Shodan.

Who is also dead, by the way.

Communist crisis averted.

You can all go home now.

Something I need a lore expert to explain, which I still haven't found an answer for online. How is the Domain still functioning? It should have been destroyed with the Halos, as described in Silentium. Unless they reconnected that. Which means that the Didact going insane inside his Cryptum would also not be true...arghh. So many plot holes...I want it to make sense.

My best guess is this. And I remember a little bit from the novels. At the end of the Forerunner-Flood war, the Domain no longer responded to the Forerunners or granted them access. This was before the Halos fired. The Domain is a sentient living thing, essentially. It's Precursor tech that basically overlaps reality in another layer of space. It's just pure information.

So, my best guess is this. The Domain was wiped out in the Milky Way when the Halos fired. But it's a living thing, and only a small part of a whole. There's other galaxies out there with Precursor tech. So, I figure, that over time, that wound in the Domain healed itself.

It was like a gunshot through a sheet of fabric. Sure, there was a hole in the cloth, but if the fabric is living, it repaired itself. And I imagine that the Domain's resistance to letting Forerunners access still remained once it healed.

Cue Cortana in Halo 4 partially accessing it, and then, at some point, at the end of 4, coming into full contact with it and finding the source that the Forerunners once used to access it.

That's my best guess.

Frankly, I wouldn't even know how to use it nor where to find it.

And I wouldn't use it anyway since there's nobody here who even really warrents it.

Oh, it's a really long story. It goes something like this.

Technically I live in a hamlet. The designations for my province are all a step lower than they should be despite their population.

Our cities are actually only large enough to be called towns.

Most of our towns should be called hamlets.

And those really small communities of like 12 people shouldn't even be called hamlets.

What's the nearest large town called?

Hard to say. I don't remember the population numbers, but it's a toss-up between Saskatoon or Prince Albert.

Do you gently remind them that they're named after a dick piercing?

Prince Albert was a place before dick piercings were a thing.

I remind all people who've their dicks pierced that their piercing is named after a literal dump of a town in a province that's shaped like a giant rectangle far up north.
