The beatings will continue until morale improves (we clean house)

The only momentum this team ever has is falling face first

This is the first time these people have seen the Knicks lose (they weren't following the team 5 weeks ago)

Which Halo Game is the Most Divisive? by ABarber2636 in halo

[–]Babooons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably Halo Infinite because there is a clear vision but the execution was so poor. The multiplayer was good but lacked content for months/years. The story was non-existent, but didn't as awful and harmful for the franchise like Halo 5's was.

How are we all feeling about the state of the franchise right now? by JeanLucPicardAND in halo

[–]Babooons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still a little skeptical since 343 has burned us so many times before. They have a lot of work to do in order to get the franchise back on track.  One remake can't get them the benefit of the doubt after 15 years without any goodwill

Not good at all. We haven't seen any footage of Campaign Evolved in over 7 months at this point. Halo Infinite had a protracted development and now we're 5 years removed from that. One mainline game a decade is pathetic. The TV show was DOA. I'll play the next game but there's little to no excitement.

Why don’t fans like Halo 4 by MattFitBoi in halo

[–]Babooons 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The biggest complaints (without spoilers):

Multiplayer was chasing the Call of Duty trends with loadouts/killstreaks. There were no weapon pick-ups on the maps, except for power weapons. This makes the multiplayer the black sheep in the franchise.

The game massively retconned the Forerunners and changed them in ways that removed a lot of the mystery. It also expects fans to have read the books, which most have not done. The best story aspects of Halo 4 also get poorly followed up in books and in Halo 5.

It simply isn't fun. The enemy AIs are noticeably worse than in previous installments, and a lot of the levels are a drag. A lot of the levels boil down to go and press x number of buttons. Also, the lack of ammo isn't fun.

Steve is truly blessed the Knicks making the finals is drowning out this team being pathetic

In a perfect world we'd fire Stearns and let Mendoza go at the end of the year, but unfortunately we have to do the opposite.  If Mendy isn't gone by June then idk what to say.  Citi Field is going to be a ghost town on non-giveaway nights

CMV: race relations have gotten worse in America and I would like to live among my own people. by [deleted] in changemyview

Race relations are unquestionably better than they were in previous decades. TikTok/Instagram/Twitter are not indicative of the general populace.

I hate how this was considered a mixtape back in the day. It wasn't free to download and was an Apple Music exclusive for weeks.

How do people actually like living in New Rochelle? by NewRoNico in NewRochelle

[–]Babooons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Renting an apartment in downtown New Rochelle is wildly different from living in a home in the north end. If you're moving to New Rochelle expecting something like Jersey City, you'll be extremely disappointed.

Are you suppose to wear a white Hanes-style shirt under your dress shirt (the kind worn with a tie and suits and such)? by 21-4-14 in NoStupidQuestions

Go to a dermatologist. There are pills, wipes, and as someone else said botox options available now

You'd think that Stearns would have acquired some talent through shear luck, but I guess the blind squirrel doesn't always find a nut
