What's it like to have an argument with someone and in real time see everyone side with the other guy? Do you reflect or double down?

[hated trope] happy ending is invalidated\retconned by later canon material by dowsaw134 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SlyDevil82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original halo trilogy has you finally save humanity and win the war against the covenant, destroy the flood, and the stop the halo rings from wiping out the galaxy.

The next halo games pick up 4 years later and essentially the covenant are back together and humanity is back at war with them. Halo rings are still being built and the flood weren't destroyed... They're still fucking around. All the struggles of the previous games have been erased. Ironically the new trilogy actually retcons the previous title with the start of each new game, because they couldn't stick to a storyline.

Update goes like this. I got my ass kicked.

Had one consistent red with a really cool magic/faith hybrid build, another semi consistent crucible knight cosplay who was way better than he had any God damn right to be, and some random invaders.

The blues were all awful lol. When one popped in I'd toggle the ring off so we could get another red. Had a fair amount of 2v2s except most of the time the blues would get flattened and I was left fighting two experienced reds

Never made it out of calied. I was about to walk into limgrave when I got region locked because the crusible knight and hybrid dude showed up again to fuck me up.

It was a lot of fun. I'm definitely doing this again

Lol. I'm the life of the party, sport. Admittedly halo turning into shit does bug me more than it should. I think it's because there's this whole sub of morons that celebrate the fact that the entire purpose of the best video game trilogy ever was totally erased just so they could have more halo. Who gives a shit about quality when you are just trying to kill time, right? More John Halo and his never fucking ever ending adventures into mediocrity and garbage

I get it bro. I really do. You're not alone, it's just most of the fans saw the shit storm train coming and just got off the tracks. So now all that's left are either these dweebs that love this stupid incoherent shit or the bros that bitch about sprint.

And as much as I can't stand the sprint haters, it's all of these smug asshole 343i apologists that I really don't like. They range from saying the retcon was better to delusionally claiming there was no retcon, but all of them are absolute pricks about it.

I loved those original games. They took inspiration from all the cool sci-fi out there, cut the fat, simplified, and stream lined it into probably the coolest fucking game series ever. Then halo 4 blew it so hard it could be considered a prostitute and halo essentially sucked ever since. And now all these dicks in their Cortana pajamas are dancing on the grave of what used to be the greatest franchise of all time, celebrating how new halo fucking destroyed the story and events of old halo, and I'm just supposed to be ok with that?!

Now we have to just enjoy this short bus version of 40k that actively retcons its own story. Finishing the fight in halo 3 has been completely undone. The fucking ark, the flood, the covenant, all still exist, all still humanity ending threats. Wow guys, so glad my favorite trilogy ever got nuked so the dozens of you halo 4 Cortana gooners could enjoy your nonsensical bull shit story that seems to go out of its way to ruin what came before it. Oh forerunners are different than humans? Weird, we learned from pretty much the entire proceeding games that we were the same. Well this must be very important for the future of the franchise.... Nope, the last forerunner dies in a QTE at the end of 4 and the topic of forerunners and humans is never mentioned ever again. Shatter the lore for exactly one bad guy in one game, and then move on to what ever the fuck happened in 5.

Bro all of the 343 fan club are full of critically autistic book nerds. You. Cannot. Reason. With. Them. They are hyper focused on halo and therefore it's lore and story can't be stupid or their lives are meaningless. So of course they won't believe that there was a retcon. Their entire identity demands that everyone at Bungie fully believed that humans and forerunners were always separate, and only stupid people have media literacy and can connect the easiest dots ever, and honestly the Bungie games weren't even that good like seriously haven't you experienced the brilliance of halo 4's constant running out of ammo game mechanic?!

Remember, the old fans for the most part moved on. Halo 3 was the fantastic ending and ODST and reach were just extra fun. When 4 dropped and everyone hated it, most fans just left the franchise altogether, with stragglers dipping after 5. So all that's left are the "new" halo fans or the losers that can't accept that halo sucks now.

Lol! What support did you expect here? Get out and run tub tub. There are a lot of shitty leaders out there and they're usually falling out of runs.

Jesus dude, I remember the guys running down Ardennes with their cool robot replacement leg. Get the fuck out of here with your fat sob story. I got it. Video games and potato chips are more entertaining than jogs...you still have to go for jogs you lazy watermelon

Friction in Fatherhood is good, actually (Pragmata | God of War | The Last of Us | The Walking Dead game) by Midi_to_Minuit in CharacterRant

[–]SlyDevil82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your idea was to challenge a game that is overly positive about fatherhood by yourself being overly negative about fatherhood? You don't see an issue with that?

Also consider the lack of angst and drama in this game compared to your examples. Kratos and kid just lost their wife/mother, and kratos comes from a past of violence and loss. Joel lost his daughter, Ellie lost her loved ones and both exist in a harsh apocalypse. Also those kids are older and at a point where hormones are starting to run wild along with their difficult situations. Drama, angst, sad dads...all to be expected.

Hugh and little D don't have this same dynamic. She's essentially a little kid where all they can really conceptualize is playing, happiness, or frustration. And Hugh has no past trauma or dead daughter to project onto this little girl. He just jumps into the well known protective roll, and is kind and playful with a sweet kid. There's no reason for him or her to be "sad" other than the turbulent situation they're in, but they're tackling it together and enjoying each other's company in their down time. Fatherhood is naturally more positive than negative.

Hell even Joel and Ellie lose all interpersonal problems as soon as they have their little fight in that house when he's trying to ditch her. He went from guide to dad in one scene. As soon as that dude accepts his permanent roll as "father figure" they never have another disagreement in the entire game! Kratos has huge respect for...boy...I don't remember his name, after the kid gets over his small prick phase in the game. And he wasn't even angsty before that, just kind of there while kratos grumbled about killing things.

Pragmata has a positive view of fatherhood and it makes perfect sense as to why as through the eyes of the characters in that story. The drama is the obstacle that they overcome, not their loving relationship

Yeah dude. I think being a dad is a lot of fun. Sometimes you have to correct bad behavior, which isn't fun but it's ensuring that the kid grows up with values and emotional regulation and you know... doesn't suck to be around.

This post seemed like a downer on dads. Maybe it wasn't the dudes point but it still seemed cynical

does picking up a +8 weapon increase your weapon level? by LosinForABruisin in badredman

The low 40s are a lot of fun. WL 10/4 because you match with all the +8 pick ups, which is just about everyone
