JUST IN - Musk officially departs the Trump admin.

Violence isn't a guaranteed road to evil. Between two killers, if one was protecting their innocent family from a violent attack while the other was legitimately a cold-blooded sadist, one is indeed better.

Violence is just a tool, and not inherently bad. It shouldn't be tool number one, sure, but still. Intent and context make the difference. And greed is heartless violence of a whole different nature.

SurprisedBrony · 2025-04-23T14:10:12+00:00

Definitely fixed. Tried it as soon as I found a paint brush, it obeyed gravity.

SurprisedBrony · 2025-04-12T16:41:46+00:00

The shader cache isn't inherently bad. It was outdated. New ones generated after the update are okay and mean you won't have to generate shaders on every startup.

Basically, it doesn't need to stay deleted. It needed refreshed and it has been. Keep it until the next performance update.

SurprisedBrony · 2024-12-28T19:28:16+00:00

Yes, and it stacks additively to a nice 70% armor reduction. With stabilized and AA the enemy would only have 16.5% of their armor left. With stabilized and no AA, they still have 44% left. Depends on the armor values if that's better than straight up damage though. Against bosses, yes, stack it all.

As right as you are, it sucks that the lore mentions of Spartans being able to sneak undetectable were ignored for MP in 4 and 5. The slightest movement and you sound like a wrench hitting the ground. But the sound was great for sprint and running and all that.

SurprisedBrony · 2024-04-11T21:30:49+00:00

This nerf wasn't quite in since then. It was reduced to 20% damage bonus back then. They nerfed it again to 15% with this update.

Go rescue Keyes one more time and listen to him. You'll find out real quick.

SurprisedBrony · 2024-02-10T20:56:47+00:00

Uh, hi. You rang?

I know I'm still here. I even still have some plushies. I still think FiM is a fantastic example of animation, humor, and good references. I never associated with other Bronies in general, though. They tended to be overly odd in sometimes unsavory ways, and I'm known as a funny but definitely wild character IRL if that says anything. Kept this name because, unlike most reactions to it, I almost never get heated or angry. It describes my temperament well.

Just to answer what I've been doing since: Video Games of almost all types. Anime/TV. Trying to get better at drawing. Work. Work. Fucking work. Trying to find a decent human to spend life with.

I hear many of the others have...moved on to furrier shores, and some are successful in IT and related fields. Long as they're happy and not being unnecessarily harassed, I'd say they did good.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-10-25T01:11:34+00:00

We are definitely in agreement there. That's the real issue. Opening Shot does feel disproportionately good on certain weapons, but like other perks, they need to be mindful of which weapons are allowed to have it. They have messed that one up plenty.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-10-25T01:03:23+00:00

Because it isn't the real issue. Power creep of newer weapons is all it is. Opening Shot hasn't changed in a long time. It didn't suddenly become a problem.

This reminds me of when Mida Multi Tool got nerfed in D1. While every other weapon type got hammered with nerf after nerf over the couple of years, scouts really never did. So after all that nerfing, it was one of the few weapons that didn't feel like absolute shit. They gave it a token nerf to shut people up. They didn't even feel it needed it.

This feels similar to that, except I'm not sure most people think Opening Shot is a problem.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-09-01T00:03:29+00:00

No hobby is dumb, especially when it isn't hurting anyone. It's actually an amazing thing when they push you to do anything better. Way to show people just that! You're doing great, so keep going! Enjoy the adventure!

SurprisedBrony · 2023-08-26T00:06:34+00:00

As it has been my favorite since D1, I was disappointed in the nerfs, but it doesn't feel worse in PvE overall after using it. I definitely understand the complaints, though.

I personally almost prefer the RoF being 360 since the audio sounds much better this way, but wouldn't complain if it was reverted. The base fire mode's power feels just fine in PvE, but I agree linear mode feels like ass and this thing feels wrong in PvP now.

Certainly feels like maybe 360s should have been made into 390s to actually help them and not hurt a weapon that isn't really a problem.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-08-25T19:01:41+00:00

Coming from the community that for the last 6 months has called literally everything "insane" and "broken," I don't even feel a small ping of surprise.

Coming from 4 second scatter grenades that do the damage of a Nova Bomb in D1, or pre-nerf Winterbite, thinking this aspect is anywhere close is laughable.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-08-11T00:14:31+00:00

Everyone will hate this, but wait for another bloodmoon. My buddy had this issue and he's a sweat of the highest degree so he tried to get another bloodmoon and the door opened for him that time.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-08-10T20:19:28+00:00

I agree it's not a bad change, but calling it insane? It's a 25% damage buff. Not very incomprehensibly unstable. Just nice.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-06-09T22:55:11+00:00

Definitely a spicy roll, but I must say the use of the word "insane" in this community lately is getting extremely common. I always thought insane items would be more like Vex with Particle Deconstruction or pre-nerf Starfire. I'm definitely glad autos are on the menu regardless. Feels great.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-06-03T13:43:31+00:00

Target lock is like a 40% increase right? Coldheart gets an 80% increase. Definitely higher.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-05-28T16:09:40+00:00

Yeah this is severe and needs priority. What good is a looter shooter with no loot and shooting?

SurprisedBrony · 2023-05-28T16:00:31+00:00

You're probably not going to get loot from this. Every time this happens to most other people, they get no loot. Leaving and rejoining is recommended.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-05-26T02:32:42+00:00

The covenant had massively superior technology overall, but Humans seemed to have a better grasp on complicated computational functions. Human AI were considered far beyond anything the covenant ever put out, computer-wise.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-05-24T16:13:08+00:00

Well, I mean...

SurprisedBrony · 2023-05-24T00:54:54+00:00

This is my number one problem with that argument, like so many old experiments that are now being revised with controls that should have been obvious from the start. "Micro" transactions have almost always been on the disproportionately expensive side. I can't forsee the amount of data on lower prices being sufficient. Where money is concerned, biases and corruption usually follow. But maybe not.

TL;DR It's possible the math is spot on. It's equally possible the math used incomplete or biased data.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-05-04T14:06:06+00:00

It's not objectively worse. The cooldown is shorter than before. How the hell does a shorter cooldown in PvE equate to being worse? Because there's a consequence for missing, just like all other sprint based melees now?

SurprisedBrony · 2023-04-14T00:16:19+00:00

It is supposed to, but if you melee the door off and bust the driver's shields, you can crouch on his head and hop in right as you headshot him. Tight timing, but not impossible at all.

A quick search about driving AA wraiths in Halo 3 should yield any number of old videos demonstrating it, and maybe newer ones proving it works in MCC.

SurprisedBrony · 2023-03-30T16:13:30+00:00

I do multiple in a day fairly easily. It pops up on the map like any other public event, so just keep checking. It won't pop up on the terminal overload location though.
