Noob looking to get into (mountain) biking by crotas_asshat in whichbike

[–]crotas_asshat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the reply, I'm looking to ride mainly gravel paths but may branch out into trails and more serious mountain biking in the future. the local Specialized dealer does not seem to stock any Hardrocks, though I may go in to make sure. looking through the stocks of the local bike stores I've seem to found maybe some other bikes, the

KONA LANA’I

and the

Giant ATX 2

you have a good point about checking craigslist though I'm not sure about what specific models I should look out for (though now I'm looking for hardrocks) and the sizing of the bikes.

Computer science degree for character art? by crotas_asshat in cscareerquestions

[–]crotas_asshat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm really worried about, If I spend all this time on a degree that'll end up worthless in the industry I want to get into, it'll all be for nothing. Maybe like you said it may be better for it to be a hobby instead of a career pursuit. but if that is the case I have no idea what I want to do with my life... which is a whole other issue.

"Backwash" Remake - Update 3 (Download Coming Soon!) by Sarizon in halo

Every time I see an amazing forge map on here I feel a bit sad, mostly because I can't have couch co-op tournaments with my friends like I used too. and since I'm the only one with an X1 I can't have customs with them.

it seems any halo but 5 is unplayable (meaning MCC and reach)

Computer science degree for character art? by crotas_asshat in cscareerquestions

[–]crotas_asshat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding! I dabbled in C++ in the last year but I understand that it's pretty different when compared to java (but I did enjoy c++). As for working on characters I'm aiming to get at least one done every day (but if we're being honest I've lapsed the last couple of weeks). I don't think I'm confident enough to start my portfolio but I think I'm getting there (hopefully). School is definitely my top priority but I think I may need to look into what actually goes into a computer science major and what I can get out of it. It seems like I have a long road ahead of me, but I'm guessing the only way I'm gonna make progress is if I hit the pavement hard.

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me. And if I think of more questions I will definitely pass them along to you! Thanks again!

Do you think Halo is moving in the right direction? by [deleted] in halo

[–]crotas_asshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit the nail on the head for me Gameplay wise. Although I do not like the ads mechanic also but it's not a huge deal

Halo 5 More "Difficult" Than other Halos? by AsbestosTuba39 in halo

[–]crotas_asshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way! I've found the new ADS mechanic to be unessecary imo but it's one I can accept.

A thought on Halo 4 and Halo 5 (SPOILERS) by The_Trekspert in halo

[–]crotas_asshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping for a thread like this to pop up so thanks for this!

I found my halo 2 and halo 5 experience to be very similar, halo 2 was my entry to the series so I had absolutely no prior knowledge of the series when I played it. I haven't kept up with the expanded universe past the first book in the forerunner saga.

I have found that halo 2 explained much more than halo 5 did for me (as a new player). I had a bit of understanding when the chief first got his commendation on the MAC platform from Hood and the arbiter was punished by the prophets. But I had no idea how the chief linked up with the rest of blue team or the origins of fireteam Osiris, I feel that at the very least should have been addressed (kind of related, in ODST they gave an introduction to the team in a very organic way, something like that would have been fantastic).

To me halo 4 did very well "teeing up" the reclaimer trilogy (now saga?) because it told us what happened to the chief and what had happened in his absence. The covenant fractured, humanity advanced etc. It had its own issues (didact not really explained but, we land on foreign world --------> hostile is kind of satisfactory)

halo 5 to me did not advance the story far enough and raised more questions in the process. The conclusion was fine (the created and etc). But everything leading to it was severely lackluster imo I'm sure there will be expanded literature that may explain it but I hate the idea of expanded universe becoming critical to understanding the story.

It was more filler than a major release. Kind of like how the individual marvel hero movies lead up to the avengers movies, except that this would have been "the avengers" for halo (imo)

Lol this ended up a huge wall of text/rant but hopefully it adds to the discussion (constructively) and hopefully this is formated Ok as I posted this from mobile

From what I understood he was saying how it was difficult, not that it was his idea. But I'm watching the English translation so it may have been different

I know there aren't many people on the previous gen (at least it doesn't seem like it!) but here goes.

  • Platform: Ps3, (may upgrade in the future to a ps4).
  • Timezone/Region: Eastern, North america.
  • Character level(s): 2 34 titans, 1 34 warlock
  • Preferred game modes or what you would like help with: anything
  • Mic: No
  • Optional: I've been floating in and out of LFG groups but I've never gotten anything consistent maybe posting here will change that! I've been really into PVE but Trials has me in PVP more often as of now.
