Gaming / Re: Does ANYONE have any good maps and gamemodes for Halo 5?
« on: February 09, 2016, 08:50:09 AM »
/r/Halo has an archive of map remakes, you should check it out:

I don't really need remakes though, I need custom maps that are good for game nights and NOT for competitive.
Remakes can be good for game nights...

Erm, well that's a tough one. The Reach game nights I hosted usually had ridiculous maps for race and infection variants (and sometimes Invasion if we had enough people), but Halo 5 has neither built-in. My impression of Halo 5's Forge is that it's elaborate but strongly leans towards competitive maps. Good luck >.>

Here's a detailed list of my history of drug use:





I got nothing.

My base impression is that they look weird and probably smell and taste weird, too. Yick.

As for the effects of taking drugs, I'm not a fan of the thought of that loss of control. To take a page from James Randi:

Because that can easily just fuzz the edges of my rationality, fuzz the edges of my reasoning powers. And I want to be as aware as I possibly can. That may mean giving up a lot of fantasies that might be comforting in some ways, but I’m willing to give that up in order to live in an actually real world.
Adding to that, my depression and anxiety are already enough of a handicap for me, in that regard, and I don't need another one.

gpu should be the priority in a gaming rig tbh

But if your processor is slow as balls, the GPU will be useless.

Both CPU and GPU should be a priority.
he's chosen an i5 he'll be good

I still suggest an i7 over an i5 due to personal experience but whatever.
As long as it's a fairly recent quad-core, it really shouldn't matter too much at all.

Quad core is a must. Most i5 chips on the computers I've owned were dual core back in the day.
...but this isn't back in the day.

As long as it's a fairly recent and reasonable quad-core, it really shouldn't matter too much at all. Games are hardly CPU intensive anyway. See this for CPU tiers.

Personal experience: I have a 7-year-old i7 860 (it's in tier 4, aka still viable) that would not bottleneck a GTX 980.

All electorate are morons. All people are morons period. This is a fundamental flaw with Democracy, I agree. I don't claim to necessarily know what government is best for which people. But it's hard to do any worse than Saddam if you actually try.
I don't want to test that theory.

Quote
This happens all the time everywhere because Democracy a shit.
This is a bit bollocks, because it's not quite the same. ME voters wouldn't know the difference between Obama and Dylann Roof, which is basically what happens over there. (Plus, the US parties have primaries to narrow down the candidates, so there isn't a splintered vote that allows some wacko like Morsi to reach power through, well, luck. It's something that comes through experience.)

Quote
In which case we should handle it like we handled the Nazi party gaining power through the democratic process. Ideally, though, we can foster a culture of liberal individualism and separation of church and state. It will take time, work, and money, though, because separation of church and state is problematic for Islam. The concept of a caliphate is more important in their theology than most people realize.
I think that's unreasonably optimistic.

Quote
I would say something like a regime that protects human and minority rights and levels of violence close to that of eastern Europe. We can't turn Mesopotamia into France in a lifetime, but there is room for improvement.
That would be ideal, but as you said that's not something that'll happen in our lifetimes. I think that just shows the futility of this.

lmao what. Even China is tired of NK's bullshit lately. They're still at like early 1970s levels of military technology, if even that, and only because they spend all of their money on it. The only threat North Korea poses to anyone is the threat of collapse. If North Korea ceases to be a state, and South Korea or China has to incorporate the land and people, we'd have an economic and refugee crisis the likes of which have never been seen before. South Korea would go bankrupt overnight.
Except China doesn't want anti-missile systems near NK. Except China and Russia won't let the rest of the world bulldoze NK. They're still allies, for all intents and purposes.

I don't know why this came to be about Obama and Iraq, but whatever. The absence of Saddam is what allowed ISIS to gain strength. US involvement only enabled that chain of events.
Fantastic, then, we would have Saddam doing most of what ISIS does, just to minorities and unopposed.

The problem isn't that we did the job. The problem is that we left it half-finished. You cannot just fix a middle eastern country. All of them are interconnected through ideology, allegiance and ethnicity. The whole region is going to have to reshape itself before the dying stops, and the US absolutely must have a hand in making sure things are in the best arrangement possible when the dust settles.

Also please don't tell me you think North Korea is a legitimate threat to anything but the northernmost parts of Seoul.
So uh, let's just make this clear: opposing the bad guys is only a marginally better situation than before. It's no substitute for results.

The fact is, boots on the ground cannot and will never change culture. Even through instating a democracy, there's still that huge change that the electorate will be morons. They've never had democracy before, so they may very well elect folks who don't truly represent their best interests (see: Egypt). ISIS could simply become the next Hamas or Hezbollah through these elections.

It begs the question: what even counts as 'mission accomplished'? Poll numbers? A few good elections? What possible milestones can be set that aren't utter bollocks?

North Korea's honestly not much of a threat, but they will be... eventually. What's more concerning is Russia and China impeding progress the US could be making against NK.

pulling troops out of a losing fight
Iraq wasn't a losing fight by any means. It was stable and repairing -- the absence of U.S. forces post-2011 is precisely what allowed ISIS to gain strength in the region and Maliki to radicalize a significant portion of the population. The withdrawal from Iraq was an immense mistake and destabilized the country.
I don't know why this came to be about Obama and Iraq, but whatever. The absence of Saddam is what allowed ISIS to gain strength. US involvement only enabled that chain of events.


How long are you going to keep troops in Iraq? 100 years?
We've been in Korea for over sixty.
And look how great that's going.
Pretty great if you ask me.
except for the part where the North apparently launched a missile without the aid of video editing software, for once

I'd say the chief difference here is that there's a distinct lack of open conflict.
