Gaming / Re: Halo Mega Thread
« on: September 29, 2024, 10:12:44 AM »
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.

It's crazy how long Ross Scott has been on about this.

The guy behind "Freeman's Mind" is pissed, long enough that he decided to do it himself instead of calling on for the support of others to take the lead on it.

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.

The Flood / Re: if I ever die I'm posting my obituary on this website
« on: March 17, 2024, 11:40:43 AM »
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.

The Flood / How far have you moved since being here?
« on: February 11, 2024, 06:48:12 PM »
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.

Gaming / Re: GTA 6
« on: December 14, 2023, 11:59:36 AM »
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.

The Flood / Re: Literature backlog
« on: December 14, 2023, 11:52:02 AM »
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.

The Flood / Re: Old tech you still use and why?
« on: November 09, 2023, 07:01:40 PM »
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...

The Flood / The last vestige of Bungie is going

Groups are getting shut down this month. From Duards himself;

Quote
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...

The Flood / Re: Sony Xperia phones
« on: September 12, 2023, 03:39:04 PM »
Never actually owned a Sony phone, but my partner has lent me one to put my UK SIM in since swapping countries.

It's a really old model from 2014 , an Experia M4/E2303.

It's not half bad for a phone from that time considering it's that time of Samsung-Apple patenting every fucking design feature and ever other brand having to make do.

It does suffer from sort of CPU overheating but I'm thinking it's due to age since the battery life is also terrible on this after nearly 10 years.

I just miss basic things on phones like replaceable batteries, headphone jack, and not everything being coated in easily smashable glass. My mobiles have never been the latest, and I keep my Samsung S8 chugging purely for the headphone jack.

Until this thread I didn't know Halo Infinite existed - didn't know it had a free multiplayer section either.

I'll check it out, I wonder if it will be like that Halo Dewrito Online thing that was popular before MCC.

Serious / Re: What should be done about the rising cost of housing?
« on: August 16, 2023, 05:45:23 PM »
- Heavy taxes on Holiday homes, 2nd± Homes, and whatever AirBnB's are.
- Heavy Tax on property investors and multi national rental agencies which goes directly into council housing construction programs.
- Council taxes on the wealthier estates go to council property buybacks of places given out in the 70's and 80's (for countries that sold all the council housing).
- Council house construction mandated in every district or suburb. Reduce the ghettofication, stratification of class housing, and stigma of living in a council estate.
- Actual fucking livable council housing. Alterlaa in Vienna is fucking neat and it's better than most private homes in the area.
- Rent control and financial assistance for the poorest and/or minorities and/or disabled who have had a harder time getting a place.
- Abolish 'student housing' apartments. They're intentionally shit and then overcharge rent for cramped conditions when inevitably no student will bother with them.
- Landlord accountability by having them live in the same region as the rental property, contact information and their properties on public record, and government housing advice for renter's rights
- Tax the rich, offer mortgage support for first time buyers and particularly those who have only rented in their family.
- Restrict or outright ban foreign investments into housing markets unless they can prove they will also use 25% of profits to build more affordable properties in the area.
- Landlords who fail to pay mortgages on 2nd homes will have the property repossessed into the respective bank's "rental division", allowing the renter to continue living there at a negotiated rent rate, or even to take on the mortgage themselves. Alternative is government buyback programs mentioned above.
- Landlord purge day, (date to be determined), landlords are rounded up and...
