My partner is studying erasmus in Australia for about 4 months next year, so I'll have to entertain myself.
It'll probably be the most isolated I've been since I finished University and went back home, although now I have a job to keep me occupied, friends a tram-ride away, and money coming in for my hobbies to stave off boredom unlike last time.
I'll have to brush up my German though as I rely too much on my partner to order things in another language. I can do it fine, I just haven't been keeping my practice up beyond Duolingo and saying my please's and thank you's.

So that's my reasoning for voting for Trump and I feel like it reflects the majority of people who voted for Trump. If people here still think that makes me a member of the nazi party then fine. But I hope this helps to provide an opposing viewpoint and helps in convincing people here that maybe half the country are actually reasonable people and not just the evil goblins they envision in their minds
That doesn't make the majority of Americans sound like Nazis, it makes them sound like fucking idiots.

Big Halo news.
Moving to Unreal Engine 5
343 industries are done. Its now Halo Studios.
Not sure why people are getting their hopes up so high about that. That studio rebrand is like cutting off somebody's face, putting another over it, and calling them a different person. I don't think it's got good chances of panning out.
Pure hopium at this point. Though they did do a 180 with MCC so they are capable of making something good.
The switch to UE is positively received because new hires won't need to spend a lot of time understanding the legacy engine.
I am betting you the MCC is going to get shut down at some point. Maybe not on PC, but I feel like as time goes on, the likelyhood of servers getting canned on consoles goes up. That only makes more sense if we take a muh profit approach. So you've got the rebrand of the studio conning some people, you've got the switch to unreal to attract graphics coomers, and I'd be willing to bet in order to make a couple extra bucks, pull the plug on the MCC to shove what's left of the Halo fanbase onto the new launch because there won't be anywhere else to go unless they divert over to PC.
Or, god help us, they remaster MCC for unreal engine and sell it again as MCC:R, simultaneously chopping the legs off the old games with the plug pull and leaving them to the dustbin while funnelling everybody into the new games, which can now be as bad as a port/remaster as they want. (Which to be fair at the beginning MCC had all those issues and still has some)
Killing console servers is an inevitability, that's part of the push that made me get into PC gaming. I think a lot of console producers (except Nintendo) have realised this since publishing and re-releasing games out on Steam or on their own PC Launch Platforms. MCC on PC kicked up because of the Halo Online ms23 piracy that was going on that released Halo 3 MP for PC before MCC was even out. I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to re-release MCC in UE eventually, but not for another few years, possibly a decade. Maybe by then they'll add a microtransaction thing to buy all the Spartan Points you need to unlock all the MCC Catalog content.

I went back and started the Halo 4 Campaign.
I can't quite place exactly what it is, but the feeling of it is so radically departed from earlier games. Playing roughly in-game chronological order made a jump from 3/ODST to 4 so massive, and it lost the goofiness to some over the top seriousness in a lot of aspects.

Biden vs Trump; whoever wins, America loses
(again)
Not to say France, the UK, or anywhere else having elections this year look like they would fare much better.

I wonder what MetaCognition is up to.
Would he be voting Reform and what his opinions on UK politics atm would be interesting.
Is Death still here? The Mormon that had to go on a year's mission and then came back maybe once?
There's always the morbid curiosity of what happened to the more fucked up members who left - I can only think of Dustin atm though.
Was Meta big into that Brexit? Did it affect you much btw?
Fucked up?
Elegiac
Camnator
IIRC Meta was more conservatively leaning and still hoped that Brexit could go smoothly, even if it wasn't the smartest decision. Brexit affected me massively - I moved to Austria with my partner because we couldn't afford to live there anymore, and my partner didn't have enough residency time to be considered for settled-status. 2-ish more years here and I can be a permanent resident of Austria. Yeah I couldn't remember the biggest drama makers so they all either got banned or culled themselves early on, but yeah, those names ring a bell.

Halo died for me when I got the Limited Edition H4 for '360 for Christmas in the release year.
Blitzed the campaign in like 4 hours, moved to online. Wiped the floor in the game for like 5 matches, then ejected it.
I don't remember what the campaign was about and I didn't have any fun.
MCC got my interest back, but only in playing CE/2/3/Reach.

Isn't the Obits usually posted by someone else? Someone would have to know you died and post here.
I don't really think about it, but I would assume a small few who have visited here have died since the site's inception. The longevity of this place means it's up to chance, but it's increasing everyday the site is still up. Wouldn't even have to be common like age, or some mental health related self harm, could get hit by a car or gotten unlucky with Covid.
I think the last part I mentioned is the real problem though - I don't think I'm 'connected' enough to anyone else here outside of this website. If I died, I'd just stop posting, my discord would be offline, and on Xbox Live I'd just be 'Last Seen >365 days ago' . I'm sure that applies to many other people here too.

Thought I'd spice it up a bit. Sep7 has been around for... 10? 11-ish years? People have changed jobs, finished school(s), married, probably had kids (I don't want to dwell on that), and even literally died in that time. But who's moved the most since when they came here? I started early as apparently I'm the 15th person to sign up here, and I moved from bumfuck nowhere, Wales, to the capital of Vienna in that time.  Anyone moved further than 2000km? If you haven't moved at all, then what has changed the most for you in your time here?

We just wait for a new post to come in and then all show up.
It's because most of everyone left are people that don't make threads.
Also at this point, what else is there to talk about. Political debate died in Serious when most of the Brits left and the US is having old man elections 2 boogalooOAP at the moment. All the wacky controversial shit we have left, no one is bothered to argue over (again). Gaming is Verbat's collection, and I don't think enough of us even play Destiny or Halo anymore or play in the same system or games to organise something. And Offtopic is... Off. We all wait for a new thread that rarely happens, or SecondClass does their mad thing of the month. And we don't talk about anarchy. There's only ghosts and nostalgia left, and I really hate to say that.

Today I got an SMF Database error page and for a second I thought this place had genuinely disappeared.

Should be interesting since I never got into GTA until SA, so I never saw Vice City.
A lot of the old leak material is getting spammed up everywhere, which I imagine is pissing off Rockstar since the game is probably a bit more done since then if the trailer is anything to go by.

I think I have 3 books currently reading;
- A biography of Mao Tse Tsung written in the 70's by some American. It's a penguin book and I started out of passing interest, but oh my god does it drag because the authour went too hard with the most mundane details. I've gotten about 100 pages in and then stopped for about a year because it was very dry.
- The Hobbit. I thought I should probably read it since it's on my 'Classics everyone should read' mental list.
- Doom. Not the videogame book adaptation, but it's about crisis management, it's history, development, and how often we as individuals, nations, and organisations can bungle it up. It was written as the Covid pandemic was ongoing so it doesn't focus solely on it which is good.
Then I have A Picture of Dorian Gray to read after all those as another of my 'Classics must read' list.

Photography.
The problem is film is expesive for the cameras I enjoy so I don't get to shoot as often as I want, and I don't get the same fun out of a digital camera.
If I worked a better job I'd have more money, but then I woudn't have the time to do it, so... Catch 22.

Previous gen phones don't count, but my phone is a Samsung S8. That's like 6 generations ago.
Last year I bought a mirrorless camera, but before that my most modern camera I had was from 1982. Even now I use old adapted lenses on the mirrorless, the earliest is from 1964. I also have a few film cameras I use dating from 1958 to the mid 70's.
Are wired headphones 'old tech' now? I have a few pairs I use because Bluetooth drains batteries and I hate the idea of tiny wireless earbuds I can lose or forget to charge.
I watch youtube on my PS4 using a plasma TV I got for free. Y'know the type, a 'flatscreen' that is still using glass as the screen and was 'flat' because it was thinner than the previous Electron-Tube Boxy television sets. The height of technology in 2005...

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/263362964?sort=0&page=0Groups are getting shut down this month. From Duards himself; Within the past six months, out of the 5.1-million Groups that have been created, only 65 were active with at least one post in them. Breaking that down further, only 16 were active in the past month, 10 of those had over 10 posts in them, and only 3 broke over 100 posts.
This decision did not come lightly, and we’ve been postponing it for several years. But with our website’s future hosting multiple IPs, we must upgrade and begin the process of shutting down older features that no longer see usage. So if for some godforsaken reason you like hoarding and backing up conversations, now might be a good time...
