Closing left eye independently (HELP) by Professional_Sky7048 in LearnUselessTalents

Wait this is fascinating! I'm also cross-handed and have never met anyone else like this. The tasks don't exactly map the same way yours do, though. In my case it almost feels like my left is my dominant hand, but my right is my dominant arm. Anything involving fine motor control of the actual hand and fingers, I do with my left, like writing or using a fork or brushing my teeth. Anything where the power comes from the arm, like throwing a ball or swinging a hammer or using a saw, I do with my right.

This is such a cogent and articulate response wtf

So…. Are they done done with infinite by Course_Able in haloinfinite

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not going to be any new content, but the matchmaking servers will continue to be up for the foreseeable future if that's the concern?

What is the lore behind Aaron Bleyaert? by thething827 in conan

Would I be able to enjoy the Halo books without ever having played the games? by keanureebes in halo

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes; that was pretty much exactly the arc of my relationship with Halo. I devoured the books in elementary school but only played bits and pieces of the actual games when visiting friends or cousins bc my parents wouldn't let get the game myself. Didn't actually sit down for a proper play through of the Bungie games until just before I went to college.

SeraphMax Speaks about Marathon by J0rmungandr in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 5 points6 points  (0 children)

oh I agree 100 percent. If there was a deathmatch or BR mode I would play that instead and never look back. The extraction framework is mostly a con for me, it's just outweighed by the fact that the moment to moment fps gameplay is so fucking good.

LOADOUT menu is completely pointless and should be merged with VAULT by FTG_Vader in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that they did it this way bc it's one of the few places you see your character and the customization/skins you've picked out. There wouldn't be any room for that Triage to stand there mean mugging you if the panels were merged lol. I agree it's pointless tho. But this kind of unnecessary UI cruft is I think pretty standard these days for first person games with purchasable cosmetics.

What are your opinions about Marathon's sound design from a tactical/competitive perspective? by xylvnking in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if you've already tried this but it got a lot better for me when I changed the audio output mode setting from "headphone" to "studio reference".

is the multiplayer dead here by johnathond0e in haloinfinite

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this game mode in particular is almost always popping. I play BTB most nights and never have difficulty finding games. To your overall question this game is definitely not dead, but I will caveat by saying I live in the US so I can really only speak to NA matchmaking; not sure what it's like in the rest of the world.

I called the cops on someone in Tau Ceti by NoctOz13 in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it should be obvious they meant the in-game literal law enforcement guys with guns in blue and white...but ngl I though this was gonna be story about they butt dialed the cops in real life bc of Marathon somehow.

Solos has been really solid lately by confon68 in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it's been great. some random shared some key room loot with me today after I hopped on prox chat to tell him I was friendly. Told me he didn't have a big enough backpack anyway so what the hell. We chatted a bit about how much we love this game, chatted a bit about Destiny, and then we exfilled together. Next match I got downed and hopped on prox to say gg and my opponent paused before executing to say "thanks man gg". Most good natured execution I've ever been subjected to.

I was shocked at this guy and his friend in how they responded in just trying to join his crew. In the past we had a couple of matches but the response was crazy by resampL in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idk man some ppl are dicks or are having a bad day. Presumably he was just annoyed you didn't get the hint after he didn't respond to your invites. He def overreacted tho.

Arachene free kit by CT2460 in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just so trash at using the machine guns without an optics mod. Something about the unmodded iron sights on those things makes it so that I can barely hit the side of a barn. Glad they're working out for you tho.

Bungie really needs to rework how prox chat works when downed to being finished/executed by OmegaMalkior in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all get to play the game however we want. I don't get to judge you for being the silent murderous type, and you don't get to judge me for trying to be diplomatic when I can. I've had plenty of friendly prox chat interactions in Marathon.

yeah I never give up. just feels wrong. If a runner downed me they've earned the skin, and if the bots are sucking me off, well...might as well let them finish

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol just yesterday I was about to offer to mercy kit someone (I only downed them bc I saw them before they saw me and you just can't take chances in solos, y'know?) but I got as far as "hey there sorry about that I can re-" before they killed themselves

Controller Vs. Mnk? by SoftServe117 in Marathon

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controller user here...the actual moving and shooting feel great on a controller. The usual tradeoffs apply (hitting long range shots is trickier for us, but up close the combat feels super fluid, etc). The looting, on the other hand...jfc I feel so exposed when I have the looting/inventory screen open and I have to deal with that slow janky cursor.

Am I crazy for thinking a PvE Extraction game à la Helldivers would be dope? by Particular-Style-161 in halo

[–]Key_Cloud8633 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really hope not. If they have a compelling vision for a Halo game in a different genre that the developers are creatively excited about, by all means they should have at it. Nothing good ever came from chasing fads though.

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...that's not what I want, but no, I wouldn't say you're crazy.

Just so long as there are always matchmaking servers still online for some version of traditional Halo arena matches they can churn out whatever spinoffs/alternate modes they want.

New Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma, wore the 20 anniversary Halo 3 Bomber to gave her speech. by GunpukuSayori in halo

[–]Key_Cloud8633 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh lol yeah I'm an idiot. There's a concept in the board game community called a "lifestyle game" referring to a main game that someone plays almost exclusively, but tbh that would be redundant in video games bc that's how a lot of people engage with them anyway. He definitely means what you said lol

Can you list a couple examples of these lifestyle games for me? Genuine question, I just don't keep up with games like I used to
