the brute/banished weapons look a lot sleeker than their tech did in Halo 3 and Wars 2.
That's what felt a bit off to me. I'm used to brute tech being...brutish.

Can we get a riot going in the comment section?
Even though technically I'm being hypocritical and taking bait to boot, you don't think that's just a tad bit tasteless?

i can't believe you people kept this thread alive long enough for halo 6
Never underestimate a passionate community's ability to dole out life support. Skyrim's a single player game and yet the modding community constantly refreshes it. Team Fortress 2 came out in god damn 2007 and it's still alive, to name a few cases. This very site stemmed from Halo, so it's pretty reasonable to assume there's going to be supporters for it.

All memes aside that trailer is super mixed for me. Gunplay looks okay and not too copy/pasta from all the new age generic crap. It at least seems to harkon back to older halo's gameplay design of "always on the move." Model design seems okayish, but there's something really off about the lighting for me. Everything seems very flat, like there's not really a depth to the lighting, it's all just being rendered in white light with no shadow depth.

Stop posting.
You know if we ignored this guy to the level that that Cheat guy apparently ignores ChallengerX he'd shrivel up and practically die right? The weakness of attention feeders is the limelight and lack of response.
Keyword "we". Also I don't think I'm doing much harm doing this line 30 seconds after last response.
Oh, but I'll stop, alright.
Can't spell we without weaponized autism. We're soldiers of god, MarKhan, we can't fail.

Only thing I've been playing recently is Path of Exile. I'm liking some of the more ambient soundtracks.

The only people worth being or feeling condescending to are druggies, murderers and rapists. By chance you don't strike me as any of those. It's as simple as that. I asked, got an answer, and called it a day.
Sure he can. That'd be the rational and easy to make choice. But for whatever reason he deems it necessary to delete his account. I'm not much for bothering to summon an argument over people and their semantics because on most accounts they'll just do them anyway. Just so long as they do their semantics out of my life my day isn't totally fucked by default. Get a load of Oliver Twist over here HAHAHA. No the rational choice is to not want to be associated with shit like this

The site’s history is ugly, and it continues to be an ugly and disgusting place. If you’re here and not actively speaking against shit like this, one can only assume you’re either for it or it doesn’t bother you enough to make you want to say anything or leave. So please, shove your pseudo intellectual bullshit up your ass.
The only particular reason I pull an oliver twist is because I can admit that I have an immense disdain for druggies in particular, since people of those caliber have been responsible for the biggest losses in my life. That line of people are one of the few who can bother me enough to argue.
Onto your main point. I won't refute that this place appears to be an ugly place on occassion, and I haven't been around here to know it's history. But to my eyes, the stuff that goes on here is no different than to what I've seen everywhere else on the internet, unless it's a totally ironed in hugbox with ridiculously strict regulations on the content allowed to be posted, and in my experience, those places tend to regress anyway, amounting to all the same shit in the end.
I can totally understand not wanting to associate with something or somebody, but to my personal views on life, hiding from the shit you've done and trying to cover it up like it never happened is just as bad as being ignorant to the shit you do or say in the first place. Hiding the bad shit doesn't make it go away, it's just some hollow moral booster to make yourself feel better and look better under scrutiny, which is a load of tripe. Self improvement or striving to be a better person isn't about burying your mistakes, it's about acknowledging them and having the spine to admit that in the past you made mistakes, you associated with shit people, etc. I don't think self improvement is your goal, you just want out, and you want to bury your past, move on and start "clean." Go for it. But for somebody who wants so badly to be rid of this place, the fact that you're continuing the conversation with me is an indicator in the opposite direction. Is some random internet passerby really worth coming back to a place you apparently vehemently despise? Whatever.
As for me and speaking out against shit? For one, I won't usually speak about things I'm not adequately versed in. I assume the issue here is those goerge floyd posts. I haven't kept up with that case. As for social issues and trash people, I can admit freely that there's almost nothing posted on the internet that phases me, because to me it's all just social trash and people's egos, and it's meaningless to me because I spent years out in the streets, saw places, people and shit that are forever burned into the back of my mind.
You walk into a house where a guy's blown his head apart with a shotgun or you have to call the police to notify them that your friend OD'd because they got hooked on spiked shit from a piece of shit dealer while you could do nothing to stop it. And then you jump onto the net and see all these fucking people posting shit in lala land, waving around their egos, virtue signalling and making fake as fuck social justice posts to ride on the feel good wave of fake accomplishment. Or just shitposters and asshole people. It's a tide of irrelevancy to me that I gloss over because it's like watching children argue and fight.
I dunno if it's wrong of me to feel so detached, a million for the person who could fix me. Whatever. That's the most words I've bothered to talk or write in months. Thanks for the conversation, at least. Just do your shit dude. Doesn't matter anyway.
Yeah sorry I’m not a nihilist cool guy like you dude hahaha. I’ve seen plenty of ugly shit in my time, that doesn’t make racism irrelevant just because it’s on the internet. Honestly I don’t believe you’ve been through any of that shit, because if that were the case you’d be more empathetic instead of less.
I don't figure I intended to imply that racism was irrelevant, because I know it's not. One of my better friends down in Georgia got killed in his own house by a drive by a few years ago. I remember all the talks he and I shared about that mess going on down in the states. The massive culture difference between canada and the states, the larger divide between whites and blacks, and the troubles within black communities themselves.
To a degree, I am empathetic, yes. It's one of the things I've got tethering me to life. Without that I would've succeeded in killing myself rather than thinking about the consequences of what it would mean for the person who found my body, and for the person whose firearm I stole to do it. It's one of the few things I have in my life now that keeps me going because I don't have much to live for. I'm mostly null inside and despite working on the problem for years now, there's stuff I just can't seem to get back.
In my experience people can go either way with empathy. Bad shit either makes people more empathetic, or jaded. Sometimes it's a mix up. I take a simple approach to life in the capacity that my empathy can function. I try to change things when I can physically do it. It's the most effective way to do things, at least in my case. I rarely bother with internet outreach because you're dealing with more obstacles and mental barriers that are nearly impossible to break due to the mostly intangible nature of the internet. There's ego, mental gymnastics, insecurities, etc. You can bypass some of those in physical presence.
So you call me a cool guy nihilist if you want. I'll tell you it's hell waking up the way I do in the morning and it's hell having to carry around so many friends and loved ones of mine as nothing more than just memories. It's like I'm constantly just half a person. That extends to my empathy. I expend my efforts where I believe it counts because I don't know how much effort I actively have left in me. I'm not going to make a shit of difference arguing semantics with some or multiple dumbasses online who'll twist everything to validate their life's view on things. I'll make a better difference by not being an asshole in person, standing up for bullshit if I see it happening in the real world, and helping if I can.
At any rate, you try not being a jaded near suicidal shell of a person who lost everything good they ever had in their life and get back to me on how easy it is to summon the will not to be emotionally damaged or vacant. Fuck, maybe you're just doing better than me in progress, who knows. Believe it or don't. At the very least I know where I stand in life.
Racism's shit, people are mostly shit, and I'm fucking tired and barely able to care about all of it. I stick around because the good people I met along the way wouldn't want me to call it quits, and they wouldn't want me to turn out to be an asshole to others out of spite for all the trash others have inflicted on to me. I need to own up to my mistakes as well. That's the best I can currently do.
I don't have a motif to lie. Whether you care or believe is irrelevant as ultimately I'm just passing through here, like the majority of places I visit, and like everybody else alive. I asked a simple question and got my answer, and now here we are, talking politics and being egotistical enough to continue the discussion. Well, that's enough from me.
I can’t lie to you my boy I’m not gonna read this 😂👌
Ah, well that's a shame. We only achieved wasted time at that rate. And here I was hoping for a thoughtful last response. At least give me something to ponder instead of new age hieroglyphics.

Pardon my intrusion into the conversation as I read along. Just a question out of curiosity. Why attempt to bury dirty laundry by seeking account deletion? I only ask since any sort of move of that caliber stands against my own personal code of conduct, and it has me curious as to the mentality of it.
”dirty laundry”? Hahaha what the fuck. I don’t want to be associated with this place or with the people on here anymore. That’s it. If I was trying to hide my own shit why would I bring up stuff I’ve said? Man you really thought you said something too 😂👍
Why go the extra mile and ask for account deletion and not just walk off then? Not wanting to associate has a set of very different meanings to it.
yeah it means I don’t want to have any association with you, verbatim, or anyone else on here because I think you’re all very weird and boring people
Valid point if that's what you want for your life. There's two ways people act when they no longer want to associate with something. They either simply move on, or they try to bury it. It's either because of shame for past acts, disgust, or worry for the future due to scrutiny. There's no other reasons. You going that extra mile I've seen play out so many times before from other people just prompted a question before you get your wish and dissappear. I've never actually asked anybody what they see in an action like that, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Happy trails.
bro don’t condescend to me with your 8 month old alt😂😂😂. I am disgusted with this place. Good luck with preaching to the 5 active users on here dude.

Had several friends die from this, none of them unhealthy people with medical problems and all of them around my age. Been working at a nuclear plant (Fermi 2) since this started as a decontamination technician, there was one death I heard about that had to happen for them to force people to wear masks. Now they're stopping all those procedures because things have gone well in the plant.
so tired of how this is all going, especially since I'm working with people who think the virus is made up so the government can take more power (nevermind the fact that they can always do that just by taking advantage of a horrible situation that happens naturally)
My sympathies about your friends. I've had a couple go down since this stuff blew in. Older folk but none the less a loss I didn't need on my plate this year. It's also mildly depressing to watch the various provinces of canada make their own stupid mistakes as they try to open up and start the economy in spite of corona still being active. It's baffling to me how people can't take a middle ground. So what if you don't believe it? You're somehow going to lose by taking precautions against viral infections anyway?

Count your lucky stars. A couple people in my circles picked it up. One died from it. It hits hard even if you're not at an adverse health risk.
What symptoms did you pick up?

« on: July 08, 2020, 11:01:10 PM »
For starters, right now would be a poor time to take any ventures due to the instability of the economy and the fact that we aren't finished with the plague yet. But I've got some thoughts on the matter so saddle up because I may have trouble condensing them.
Personally I can only speak from my experiences and how I view life, and what I'm doing now in my life to lend some perspective. To begin with, I think it's fair to assume that you recognize that jobs, any kind of job for that matter, is a trap. You trade in your lifespan for money, and that's it. I'd be tempted to tell you with that point in hand to pursue something that makes your life happy. That your time span is limited, and it's better to spend your time doing what you value than what society demands of you. This is only reinforced by all the friends I've known who've died. How many of them spent years of their time toiling away just to pay the bills only to die unexpectedly, their dreams and goals forever silenced.
We all make gambles that we'll wake up to see the next day, the next year, the next decade. This is ultimately a false notion we give ourselves to feel safe. You can die at any time, and so the question is whether or not you want to die doing what you want to do or not. But we have to take into account that while we're alive life can be hell if we make the wrong decisions. And it can drag on and on for years, to the point were you can't escape from the grave you made yourself. Sometimes pursuing your dream, if you haven't planned it well can make those realities.
I spent five years as a homeless wanderer, and those five years were hell. But currently, my life right now, where I work double jobs, is hell. Hell for different reasons. In one hell I was alone and constantly broke, always on the verge of starvation or death during the wintertime. In another hell I have no time to do anything in my life at all because I work eighteen hour days and if I'm lucky I get a day off every two weeks.
So the key is balance and planning, because there has to be something more than just the two absolutes I listed above. Personally, for myself, my plans consist of working at my jobs for a maximum of two more years. I'll be thirty three by then. That's a decent age to abandon the wage slave life. I take all of my paychecks and dump the money into a savings account and the stock market. I invest in companies that show long term stability and the ability to tank market crashes while still paying their shareholders monthly dividends. That's my plan for balancing things out to achieve my respective dream. I've been expanding my stock portfolio since the beginning of the year, so that I'm spread out enough that if the market dips I can still get paid from another sector.
Every ten months my earnings double as I dump the money I make from my jobs, so if I keep it up for two years, I'll have enough money coming in from monthly dividends that I can live comfortably and still afford to continually buy stocks so that my money pool continuously multiplies. I'm gambling that I can survive those two years to finally escape my jobs, and that hopefully in the long run I live long enough to enjoy the result of my planning.
So my advice to you would be to find some kind of middle ground. Because if you stay in your financially secure job, that's all you'll ever get to. But if you go all in and bet everything on that dream of yours, you could lose everything and end up lower on the rungs than you are now. Ideally, pursuing your dream is the superior option, but you need to balance it with some form of income that covers you, because our monetary system and societal structure don't give a shit about what you want, and they'll happily stand in ignorance to you whether or not you're homeless or a wage slave.

I can one up you and say that anybody who doesn't post a picture of themselves is also insecure. What are you gonna do then?
More like one down. Posting a picture of yourself is an action that's done in order to get compliments, or appreciation for your looks. If you don't want to post a picture of yourself because you find yourself to be ugly then you're not insecure, you're secure in the fact that you are ugly.
Eh. Not really. It goes case by case. I can still challenge you to the fact that not posting a picture can potentially be interpreted as insecurity. The insecurity stems from the potential to be ridiculed. You're not secure in the fact that you're ugly, you're afraid of losing face in front of people who can potentially try to put you down for it. A person who was secure in their ugliness? They'd post and not give a care to the reaction. Really, it can go both ways. You can be an insecure attention whore or somebody who simply posts a picture because they were asked. You can be ugly and insecure enough to not post a picture, or secure enough to say fuck it I don't really care what happens. It just depends on the person and circumstance.

Youtube algorithm's been giving me AI battles lately. Halo 2 Brute beserking is fucking broken lol. It's kind of neat to see how the AI from all the different titles interact though.

Only 343i has the balls to kill off a main character in a fucking Mega blocks set.
Does the helmet imply death though? Couldn't it be locke simply got his ass beat but managed to escape by the skin of his teeth? At least as far as my understanding of lore goes, having a spartan on the run is trophy enough for some. The helmet could just be a trophy of that particular defeat.

Hmm, so ambitious of a list you have there. I just started playing Path of Exile recently. Takes me back to Diablo days. It's been a super long time since I've played a top downer rpg though.

Honestly I'd just settle with the same ford I've had for five years now. It's tanked a ton of road use while carrying a camper on the back of it and the shocks are still good. Couple hiccups but it has yet to let me down with the exception of being an asshole on gas.

Covid sort of caught me right in the middle of traveling through canada and then eventually down to the states. So I hunkered down in my truck camper over the winter, got two jobs and am just building up money before I hit the pavement again. I've been investing on the stock market to make some passive income so I can continue to travel without needing to stop in a province or state to make money. In order to make it lucrative enough that my money is in order, I'll have to stay in this province at my two jobs for about another year. I'm sort of okay with that. Part of me wants to get back to the road now that restrictions are lifting, but I'd end up passing through heavily infected parts of canada anyway. So for now I'm staying at my jobs, even if I want to ditch. The people I'm headed out to aren't going anywhere, and they can afford to wait infinitely for me. I'll show up someday.

That I died as a wage slave in the corporate machine and I didn't reach the age where the government begrudgingly had to pay me pension money.

You're implying that all of them have sexual intent in mind. What about the ones that don't? What about the ones in environmental situations such as sparse populations? What about ones who can't seem to fill the intelligence gap? Or the ones who lost the genetic lookie loo lottery? all of these people have better things to worry about than relationships, and because of this, even if they do feel lonely every once in a while, they're essentially incapable of being pathetic about it, because their situation has forced them to have priorities
I'm not defending the behavior nor the pity parties of the thirsties
well, they're the only people i'm talking about obviously
you say you're not trying to defend them, but i've personally never seen anyone try to defend whining about petty shit this hard
Funny thing about those people and their priorities. It's the other way around. They've adopted priorities in order to hide from the thing that's eating them. By keeping moving, working, doing whatever, they're less aware of that nag at the back of their head, but it's still there.
As for defense, no. I would've called it that if it were. Just an examination of all the varying angles and a half hearted attempt on my part to discuss something with more depth than a puddle, even though we're typically talking about people with the depth of a puddle.
hi sandtrap
Funny you'd bring him up. I miss the conversations I managed to have with him.
