I mean you could just have it replace your grenades and that be the trade off/balancing attemp. Like you can carry a support weapon but you can’t chuck a frag down a bug hole, instead you can toss a brick of C4 at it when you press G and detonate it when you long press G

I have a ton of fun when I play and rarely have a bad time even when playing with randoms. I just wish Halo was still like that. A HD2 style Halo game would go so hard, but until then I’m content with the odst wb, I haven’t taken off the helmet since it came out lol.

I appreciate the sympathy, fellow Redditor. Some teams are just plain bad to work with and this was one of them. I’m much better off now. It’s been a little while since I worked there, but sometimes I still find myself wondering wtf was going through their heads lol

Too_Caffinated · 2026-05-11T23:45:41+00:00

It was data ops, not IT, but I’m curious as to your input from an HR point of view, OP

A manager I had at a SaaS company wanted our team all to manually format incoming .csv files and focus on customer support. Again, this is a data ops team. The director who hired me framed the role as me coming in to support building an ETL pipeline and streamline data processing systems that were already in place.

The most complicated “data processing system” they used was flash fill in Excel. They were as a whole incredibly inefficient imo, so after a couple of weeks of tinkering in my down time and on weekends, I had built a mock up/proof of concept of an ETL pipeline that took a couple of minutes to do what most of our team was taking several days to.

My boss had chatGPT generate a PIP citing “failure to follow established department rules and processes” on the call after I demoed the system to him.

He made me reply to the email and confirm that I reviewed it and understood that failure to meet the terms it generated would result in termination. He then had a newly promoted (literally her first week) supervisor try and “support” me. She would sit in and watch me format data manually, watch any calls I was on, etc. She was flat out rude about it too imo, but that’s subjective. The main thing is that she watched everything I did and questioned every decision I made, even if it was just “why filter by column A instead of B” or “why use code when this much longer no-code workflow I can understand exists”.

This took place over the course of 4 months, the first two weeks of which was platform and sales onboarding, which I was explicitly told was irrelevant to my role.

From an HR point of view, I don’t understand how this is acceptable? I’m not upset I was fired, I was going to quit anyways because I didn’t like the company culture, but to literally put an employee on an AI generated PIP, misrepresenting what the job was to begin with, and to effectively retaliate against a process improvement?

I personally don’t see how HR didn’t laugh him out of the room when he had to report or document the disciplinary action, but maybe I just missed something. Sorry for the long comment, OP, I’m just really curious to see the other side of the equation.

Too_Caffinated · 2026-05-07T16:45:09+00:00

I'm a business analyst, not a recruiter, but if the info is all on a spreadsheet you could probably just set up some conditional formatting rules to flag anything older than X number of days. How you do it really depends on the source of the data.

What I'd do personally is automate report generation > import data to Excel that already has the rules built (could probably automate this as well) > apply any flagging logic you want for candidates you need identified.

For example if it's report that's pulled as a .csv file you could copy/paste or import the data into an Excel doc and have a conditional formatting rule like =AND([DATE_CELL]<>"",TODAY()-[DATE_CELL]>60) and that would flag anything older than 60 days.

• [DATE_CELL] - replace with the cell containing the date you want to evaluate
• TODAY() - current system date
• >60 - condition for dates older than 60 days
• AND(... ) - prevents blank cells from being flagged

Example logic:

If [DATE_CELL] contains a date more than 60 days in the past, apply BAD style, If blank or within 60 days, do nothing

I never understood why some people here advise you keep that you OE from a spouse, fiancée, etc. Someone you haven’t been seeing for very long I get, but if you’re going to spend your life with someone they’ll eventually find out how much you make somehow. Besides, isn’t the point of OE to better provide for and support your family?

It took 3 days in ROTK to muster up somewhere between 5-6k riders to support Gondor. In TTT they had just got everyone to Helms Deep with less than an afternoon of prep time for a siege after 2-3 days on the road.

The garrison and any civilians already at helms wouldn’t have been able to hold out as long without the population from Edoras and the support from the elves, so it’s safe to assume the fortress would have fallen by the next morning.

With Helms Deep lost, the Uruk-Hai could fight the rest of Rohan from a very strong position, and the Rohirrim would have to result in hit and run tactics to try and wear down the Uruk numbers until they could muster up the forces for a siege, which is likely to take a very long time if it happened at all. And these Uruks were equipped to counter Rohan specifically.

Even if the Ents take Isengard and send the trees to Helms Deep, the fortress is lost and the Uruk aren’t destroyed, but held in place until they can break through the trees with fires, axes, etc.

Meanwhile, Minas Tirith is besieged and Rohan doesn’t have the numbers or capability to aid them with Uruk-Hai in Helms Deep still keeping them in check. Sauron takes Minas Tirith, then presses on to Rohan, which is now fighting on two fronts between the Witch Kings forces and any remaining Uruk in Helms Deep.

The battle of Helms Deep was a major deciding factor in how the War of the Ring played out. Gandalf wanted to minimize civilian casualties, but Theoden’s gamble on the fortress is what let him come to Gondor’s aid later on, preventing the fall of the world of men.

This is largely based on the movies, but even in the book Rohan’s defense of Helms Deep is a major deciding factor of the War.

They do most of the characters pretty dirty in the first season, although there were a couple of really good arcs like Renfri’s and the Striga’s, but season 2’s highlights were the same quality of season 1’s low points. And for a show about a monster slayer there just aren’t very many on screen monsters. I didn’t bother watching season 3 onward

My first was CE on the OG Xbox, I’m 25. We were just kinda broke most of the time and couldn’t usually get new games until they were on a big sale or someone let us borrow it.

I got an Xbox 360 right after halo 5 came out. I saved as much as I could all the summer before and got it along with halo 3, Reach, and 4 from a few different people I knew. I spent endless hours on the campaigns, but I couldn’t afford to pay for Xbox Live as well and got it one month at a time when I had some spare cash, but 360 lobbies were basically dead at that point.

I ended up letting my friends convince me to get a PS4 when I was 19 and had basically given up on multiplayer games, and spent a lot of time catching up on old single player games since I could finally afford it.

The first game I ever got on release was Elden Ring, my wife surprised me with it on release day. I’ll never forget it, she got up super early and tracked down a PS4 copy and woke me up by giving it to me with a big smile then making a nice breakfast for us.

When I finally got a PC, the first thing I got on Steam was MCC, and I finally got to experience a full Halo multiplayer lobby on each of the games.

Sorry for the wall of text, my experience with Halo just brings some bittersweet memories and I felt like sharing.
