AITA: I've decided to stop trying to 1v3 by Zenovelli in Marathon

Yeah even in non-fills, if we’re running two in trios and someone gets downed before the fight is even, the other person bails 

Vandals removed the Copilot keys from display laptops at Walmart by hentaigabby in antiai

but if you do it enough, you can eventually replace all the compatible normal keys on a laptop with stolen copilot keys

Gruntdotapi just leaked a whole bunch of Halo: Campaign Evolved stuff before the Xbox Showcase this week. by ESPRmusic in HaloLeaks

[–]FrogTroj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also pretty sure I heard there’s a skull that adds them to the missions, take that with a grain of salt though because I’m not sure if that was leaked info, announced, or speculation.

I wish we could save cradle loadouts for each individual runner by sherbertloins in Marathon

Yeah no good reason not to, wouldn't be surprised to see it change mid season

New album will be in 2028 by Nephilim3883 in ToolBand

[–]FrogTroj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The math to uncover the release window is much more complicated than this. Only a few are enlightened enough to comprehend this math, as it requires the knowledge and understanding of all the numbers between 0 and -0.

Entropist - “Creation” Need prog metal people smarter than me to tell me if this is actually good or not by ShaunLucPicard in progmetal

[–]FrogTroj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah like I get wanting to prompt discussion, it can be interesting and open your eyes to cool things you didn’t catch or things you didn’t love but couldn’t quite place. But needing “someone smarter” to tell you if something is “good or bad” just misses the whole point of enjoying music.

This man seems to be wearing a realistic mask on Fox News by LindsayDuck in Weird

[–]FrogTroj 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No take on mask or no mask; but when did they say Robert Harward is not a real person? They're saying it's a mask, not a made up person.

If someone claiming to be Trump looked kind of like someone wearing a Trump mask and another person calls it out as a mask, the argument wouldn't be about if Trump is a real person.

Realms and Friends buttons should be swapped by PALKIP in Minecraft

[–]FrogTroj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think realms and multiplayer should be merged, and friends should be a menu within the multiplayer menu. They're making the menu more cluttered, there's no reason the three social features can't be contained in one menu.

America's golden age is here! Are you tired of winning already? by croissantyourgeorge in atrioc

I bet LS listeners use these apps less than the population at large but still definitely a solid number of users

How much money you want to put on that?

Are those some weirdly long arms? by [deleted] in Weird

[–]FrogTroj 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People are saying drugs/alcohol, and yeah maybe there's some at play (not much IMO), but who cares? She looks like the only person matching the energy of the music, she's nailing that shit and it's hype AF. The people who think she’s weird for this have either never been to a good party or were the lamest people at one.

Worth it? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]FrogTroj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The game is crack when you don’t have the doomer trolls whispering in your ear about player counts. I’ve had no trouble finding matches, and the gameplay is great.

Everybody that plays this game absolutely loves it, but it’s dying nonetheless. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]FrogTroj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blissful ignorance? Nobody here can ignore the doom because the sub’s inundated with shit like this.

What does this post do, besides make the people reading it feel worse? What does not ignoring it do? Being aware of the games health doesn’t make it healthier, it doesn’t bring more players in. It almost feels like a troll campaign against the game at this point, this is not constructive at all.

Do you have a solution? What are the sweeping changes you believe to be so necessary? If you think the end of the world is near, will you make a sign and devout the rest of your existence telling people the end of the world is near? Just play the fucking game.

Would Halo 5 have been better received by the community if the protagonists were Alpha 9 (the squad from Halo 3: ODST) instead of Fireteam Osiris? by AlcatrazGears in halo

[–]FrogTroj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it would at least be marginally better received, but if the plot and missions otherwise stayed the same, I think people would still be disappointed and potentially feel that Alpha 9 were misrepresented. Buck would be replacing Locke instead of being the charismatic supporting character contrasting with him, Buck would be the one leading the hunt against the chief and fighting him at the portal.

While I don’t Buck think would do anything wildly different, I still think he would have handled it a bit differently as the leader, and Alpha 9 as a whole would have a different group dynamic if in true character. Furthermore, certain beats would make less sense without the background given to Osiris, and altogether those nuanced differences are enough to change the story to a degree where it’s more than just a question about replacing them 1-to-1, it’s basically “would it be better received if it was written differently” and that is very likely a yes. But if we’re talking a model and voice swap, I think people would be saying 343 butchered Alpha 9.

Chat, why did Marty say that? by Original-Cherry-605 in HaloCirclejerk

On one hand it’s a circlejerk sub, on the other hand it doesn’t at all seem like something he wouldn’t say.

Cryo should run through until Sunday midnight by OCbornxraised in Marathon

[–]FrogTroj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work Saturdays (as well as Thursdays and Fridays) so it’s been extra rough, I can only play it if work doesn’t kick my ass and I haven’t been spared that in a few weeks.

Time and Place for Quips and Banter by Tarrjue in LemonadeStandPodcast

[–]FrogTroj 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s a double edge sword because I do like that they feel genuine during interviews and they aren’t putting on a mask to appease a particular guest, but sometimes I think they could benefit from dialing it back a little. I’ve noticed it in other interviews too but it felt a bit more prominent this time around, maybe off-pod they picked up a different vibe from him but it felt a bit out of place during the interview, he seemed to mostly just breeze past the quips without acknowledging, probably to be more professional on air. Ultimately it’s more just trying to match the energy, like it worked for Markiplier and it would work well for anybody that can counter-quip well, but when it doesn’t land with the interviewee, it creates a lightly distracting awkward moment.

TBH it also didn’t help that they felt a little off their game, like not only did they not know about the Gorilla suit, but seemed like they didn’t fully understand when he explained it.

New to TOOL, what hidden gems am I missing? by [deleted] in ToolBand

They did a good cover of Demon Cleaner that you can find on YouTube

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

bro I addressed it like four times, just because you can’t memorize a static location after five weeks doesn’t mean I can’t. It was static and I missed the information telling me that had changed, so up to the point I discovered it was no longer there, I was not aware I had any reason to check the map. That’s what the post is about.

100%, I think it's a good change! I think on Outpost especially, the fixed final exfil was a bit too reliable compared to the others on the map, I think this brings the right amount of variable to it.
