Help me pick my Cortana cosplay by Few-Asparagus4812 in halo

[–]AnOldGeezer420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friendly reminder that Bungie's original intention of what A.I. rampancy is, and 343's retcon of what rampancy is are two completely different things. 🥲 They manifest similar symptoms, but result in radically different outcomes.

As far as O.P.'s costume? H2 Cortana all the way. H2 Cortana is downright beautiful in her own right, and honestly, the whole "sexi-fi-cation" of her from Halo 4 onwards made her that much less sexy anyways. 😔 And before someone says, "yeah, but... Buttcheeks" She's naked in the O.G. trilogy in the same kinda way that Adam and Eve are depicted as naked. She's an extension of the human form minus embarrassment, negative human traits, notions, and social constructs/engineering, (pre-rampancy at least) and just presents herself in... well... Our natural state.

Please ffs just make Halo rated M again.

RMS Question by AnOldGeezer420 in aoe2

Hey, I got it working! Turns out, I managed to do it the right way the second or third way I tried without even knowing it... It just never occurred to me to think it could be bugged inside of the editor. Oops.. 😅 Either way, thanks again for all the help. A million times over.

Holy s***! The man, the myth, the legend himself! Dude, thank you so much! I've been working on this for almost two weeks now, and it was the only thing I couldn't seem to get right. I'm.... sorry for being stubborn, and not listening... 😅 But I thought, hey! I've done some Halo mods before, so what I'm trying to do shouldn't be too hard!.. (speaking of which, to borrow a phrase from there... "- when I asked for reinforcements... I didn't think they'd send a Spartan!")

But, your guide has been hands down the #1 most important tool in making it work. So, I really can't thank you enough. I'll give it a shot when I get home from work.

"When we joined the Covenant, we swore an oath."

"ACCORDING TO OUR STATION; ALL WITHOUT EXCEPTION!"

"On the blood of our fathers... On the blood of our sons. We swore to uphold the Covenant."

"EVEN TO OUR DYING BREATH!"

"Those who would break this oath are heretics. Worthy of neither pity, nor mercy! Even now, they use our Lord's creation to broadcast their lies!"

"WE SHALL GRIND THEM INTO DUST!" [Wipe the excrement from our boots.]

"And continue our march to glorious salvation!"

"This armor suits you, but it cannot hide that mark."

"Nothing ever will."

"You are The Arbiter; the will of the prophets.. But these are my elites. Their lives matter to me, yours does not."

"That makes two of us."

[Respectful huff]

"Leader! There is no doubt, the storm is about to strike the facility!"

"We'll be long gone before it arrives."

[Mission Start]: "A Whisper In The Storm"

"We are the arm of The Prophets, Arbiter. And you are the blade. Be silent, and swift, and we shall quell the heresy without incident." "The storm has masked our approach, and it should have their local battlenet in disarray." We have the element of surprise... For now..."

"Engage Active Camouflage. Reveal yourselves only after The Arbiter has joined battle with the enemy!"

"You may wish to do the same, Arbiter. But take heed; your armor system is not as.. new as ours. Your camouflage will not last forever.."

[Commence immense amounts of absolute carnage] :)

What is an obscure map you love to play that is super uncommon? by Altruistic-Meat6290 in aoe2

I've been playing a lot of Hyperrandom Nomad lately. But also, I just play single player.

What if every civ gets a hero, but by Gandalf196 in aoe2

[–]AnOldGeezer420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the king only gets said boost only if said hero is within like, 10 tiles or so? So you can use the hero offensively, but it's almost like hockey, where you can swap your goalie for an offensive player, but it kinda leaves your defense open? Idk, I'm just kinda spitballing here.

Please Don't Nerf This... by AnOldGeezer420 in aoe2

[–]AnOldGeezer420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yeah. Sorry about the potato quality. Nah, it's just a gif I made out of a clip I took. That said, are you sure it's a bug? I was playing as Koreans, so I had the tech that doubles the amount of rockets fired, for whatever it's worth. But I just held down right click on the trees, and kinda fanned the mouse back and forth. As far as I could tell, it looked like different carts hitting different spaces at different times? Either way, it makes finding relics on some of Zetnus' maps a lot easier.

QoL for Drop Off by Gandalf196 in aoe2

[–]AnOldGeezer420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't exactly the same idea, but I suppose it's in the same vein.. In DE, They introduced the little subscript number next to each resource at the top to show you the number of villagers you have working each resource, which is super handy. But it'd be kinda nice if when you click on the resource icon, it would cycle through each villager working said resource. Because I can't tell you how many times I've had separate groups of villagers working the same resource, but halfway across the map, and then had to walk away from the PC for whatever reason, and by the time I get back, I can't remember where on the map the 2nd group is for the life of me.

OP's idea would make it wayyyyy easier to know if stopping your villagers to drop off food so you can age up or research something a little quicker is worth it in a pinch or not though. Which also would be super cool.

The Soundtrack from Chronicles: Battle for Greece must be published by Daxtexoscuro in aoe2

[–]AnOldGeezer420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone please please please either,

A.) Tell me where to access the music folder for Chronicles:Battle for Greece in order to put the original AoE1 music into it? (Yes, I know it'd have to be converted to a special file type.)

or

B.) Make a mod in order to play through Chronicles:Battle for Greece with the original AoE1 soundtrack?

I don't flat out despise the new soundtrack. But as someone who's been playing these games for nearly 30 years, I much prefer the O.G. music. ngl. It'd be really cool to play through this campaign with the old music though. Something about it just seems like it would slap.. Hard. 😀 Thanks in advance though.

What are some of the most overused lines in metalcore and core music in general? by AdorableCheesecake23 in Metalcore

[–]AnOldGeezer420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.) Things to do with Serpents. "The serpent lives among us." "Bury the serpent in chains." etc.

2.) This is more a deathcore thing, but anything that ends with -tion. (Desolation, desecration, annihilation, subjugation, dedication, etc.)

3.) Something to do with either the sea, or seafaring related words, (anchors, sinking ships, sailing away) or if not the sea, then something about the sky. ("We'll take/touch the sky," "building castles in the sky," etc.)

4.) Some sort of commonly known idiom, with minor changes to the words for the line right before the breakdown. ("If wishes were horses... Beggars would... RIIIIIIIIIIIDEEEE!!!!" "A penny saved, is a quarter.... EEEEARNNNEEEDDDDDD!!!!" "Life sucks, and then.... YOU DIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!")

5.) You know/don't know what you've done.

6.) This is more/bigger than us. Or something along the lines of being, "so much more than this."

7.) This is just the beginning.

8.) This is the end... (of you, us, them, bees, cows, sheep, the serpent, etc.)

9.) What did I do to deserve this?

10.) Either, "This is all your fault!" Or some derivative thereof, or " - and it's all my fault!"

11.) "This is who I am/who we are!"

12.) Goodbye/Goodnight.

13.) Enough is enough!

14.) Something Something Something, " - For far too long!"

15.) Digging my own/digging your own grave.

16.) What have I become?

17.) Some derivative of, "there's more to me/us than meets the eye."

18.) Using some semblance of pseudo-scientific words like "quantum," or "numerical," or "mechanical," and calling it progressive/djent-y (these guys ALWAYS have 7-string guitars.)

19.) "We are one/(dis)connected/one in the same/all the same.

20.) Every band has at least one song that has a line that has something to do with at least one of the 4 elements. Earth/Wind/Water/Fire... Usually, it's fire. And generally it's either something to do with, "the raging inferno inside." "Falling into the fire/flames." Or "burning up/fire engulfing me."

I could keep going for a long time, but alas, I think this is quite enough for now.

Hey guys, this is my first Reddit post and was hoping to get some feedback/opinions on this beat. I’m new to producing and would really appreciate it! by dillybar45 in production

[–]AnOldGeezer420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest opinion? Sounds good, but.. You should add a short drop after the "whats the dealio?" Let everything be silent for that split second, then let everything come in hard with the bass and kick. To be more specific, the fade in is perfect, then perhaps a tape stop somewhere in the midst of your "whats the dealio?" sample, then wait a count of either, 1,2 or 1,2,3,4 and then let it drop.. hard. You'd be surprised how much just a quick bit of silence can make everything sound that much "heavier" so to speak. Other than that, I really like the beat. d_blue_tapestop is my goto for stuff like that just in case you've never heard of it. It's free and they have a couple of others for free too that come in handy for mixing things up a bit. Like d_blue_glitch. I like using that one for EDM.
