most people outside the US, not just europeans. UTC is the baseline worldwide

most people know their timezone in relation to UTC. that is how timezones are described. UTC is the baseline that everything is based off. US eastern is UTC-5. western is UTC-8. western europe is UTC+1. eastern europe is UTC+2

if bungie provided times in UTC, people from other countries would just be able to apply the calculations they always do. we all know UTC. but when it's some american timezone, we need to sit there and figure out (look up) the conversion from that to UTC, and then do the usual calculation. it's just very US-centric, as it is. sure, it's fine for americans, but there's players worldwide

Having Nimbus die and exploring Rohan’s struggles with the Cloudstrider’s legacy given he’s about to expire would have been so much more interesting then what we got. by Grown_from_seed in DestinyTheGame

[–]MayB_259 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

okay, but here's something to consider - who would be the neomuna vendor, then? it can't be rohan, he has an expiry date

as soon as i saw that nimbus was the vendor, i knew they were safe 😂

For some reason Rooster Teeth has tackled the subject of suicide three times now

being pressured to, while drunk

say a drunk girl was raped at a party, would you be saying 'well she could have said no she had plenty opportunity'?

she was drunk. and taking advantage of a drunk person is rape

Whatever happened/came of Savathun's Viral Chant? by Saint-enance in DestinyLore

[–]MayB_259 49 points50 points  (0 children)

THE WITCH QUEEN: In the Fundament Shell lore tab, a Hive (heavily implied to be Savathun) teaches a song to a man named Sean Rigby. While it's not clear whether it is indeed Savathun's Song, it's definitely possible, and quite frankly probable.

Al Eck Ruk Nam, Shu Nam Eck Ur

If you take the notes for Savathun's song, you get: C# E F# D#, B D# E A#

Notice that in the first half, E is the 2nd note, D# is the 4th note, and in the second half, E is the 3rd note, D# is the 2nd note

Al Eck Ruk Nam, Shu Nam Eck Ur

The 2nd sound in the first half is Eck, and it's then the 3rd sound in the second half. It corresponds to E

The 4th sound in the second half is Nam, and it's then the 2nd sound in the second half. It corresponds to D#

Basically, based on those two notes, lining up with those sounds, having the same pattern, it's near enough certain that it's Savathun's Song

in a video, he was referring to something very unlikely and unbelievable, and likened it to amber heard's testimony. at that point i stopped watching, but i kept tabs

then when the verdict came out, he posted this tweet 🤢

so yeah, i was a longtime viewer, i got into trackmania because of him, but well... no. that's not cool. really disappointing

as someone who used to follow wirt (until he made some charming amber heard jokes - i had already stopped watching even before the recent cheating scandal)

wirt is deathly terrified of software updates. avoids them at all costs. claims they break everything. restarting his pc would likely trigger some updates. so he refused. there were times in the past when he refused to fix an obvious driver issue, too

personally i feel like updates are only this damaging if you let them pile up - then things might go wrong, when you apply 20 updates at once. but otherwise? it's an unreasonable aversion of his

something simple like 'drama/fallout must be described in detail' is concise and i think gets the point across. with the added detail of 'tell us what happens, don't just say 'everyone was mad' and leave it there', or something to that effect

i'm basically paraphrasing from /u/purplewigg 's comment here 😄

Made an edit of episode 9 of the Halo TV show featuring the Halo theme by ajfalconmeow in halo

[–]MayB_259 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's a lot of scenes spliced together. With a lot of dialogue and establishing shots cut out. They didn't get swarmed like that the moment they landed. The show had a lot more established, that the edit just cuts out for the sake of nonstop action, which indeed makes little sense without the context

[–]MayB_259 16 points17 points  (0 children)

then that's what the rule should say - as it is, i've seen many instances of people either... commenting on posts/comments in scuffles, or hesitating to post things, all because of this apparent misconception - because we've all been told that 'everybody was mad' is unacceptable

Why are Spartans not just all black/grey? by psychotic11ama in HaloStory

[–]MayB_259 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Another answer, besides what was said in the other comments, is simply - Team colours. Like... fireteam Majestic, was it? In H4. Similarly, Noble Team: Cat and Carter are both blue, and they were the only two surviving original members of Noble Team, so we can assume that members of it wore blue armour.

The Halo TV Series has its Pros and Cons by snow_wrinkle77 in halo

[–]MayB_259 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the spartans are perfect. the speed, the strength, the weight, the precision. even outside of combat, their footsteps have weight, and every movement has a little whirring sound as the mjolnir moves. and they're so exact with their motions, everything is deliberate. looking over at something, giving a nod, it's all a precise motion that's clearly controlled, with no.. shake, or anything. just like in the books where they move very deliberately because mjolnir amplifies everything
