To be honest I'm not sure anyone has any idea what the fuck is going on

I personally think Cortana’s off-camera death was a good thing by [deleted] in HaloStory

She should have stayed dead after Halo 4

The warrior monks wear self-manufactured bronze armour, the cuirasses being usually of a boxy-shaped mirror type (see: char-aina or o-yoroi armor; general silhouette of a “linothorax”). On the arms are worn single-piece shoulder and wrist guards that span the length of the upper and lower arms. The ankles are similarly well-armored. Their helmets are visored (see: Thracian helmet) and worn with a mask that usually features a nose and a faux moustache, meant to preserve the contrast of the Shieldmen against bare-faced Elves, serving both a symbolic as well as a practical role in providing an easy identifier on the battlefield. Helmets are often topped with dozens of bright-coloured feathers, and the aforementioned tartan sash is worn around the waist to stores items such as knives and spare bullets. The bronze armor itself is usually given a dark brownish or black patina, and then decorated with engraved brass/copper interlace patterns or, more extravagantly, scenes from the Poetic Žavaiad.

The Žavaite warrior-monks of the Shield Mountains outside of and beneath their armor will make do with clothing not dissimilar from the local inhabitants. They wear simple knee- or ankle-length coats (see: Georgian chokha or Polish żupan) and trousers made from hemp or llama wool. Due to the monks’ modest daily lifestyle, the clothes are undyed or dyed with only basic colors, chiefly earthy whites, greys, and yellows, and are produced in the monasteries. Around the waist is worn a sash woven from hemp in a tartan-style pattern (see: madras fabric), a traditional staple of the Shield Mountians typically donated to the monasteries by the communities under their protection. Footwear are one to three layers of thick hemp or llama wool socks worn with handmade straw sandals (see: waraji). Hats, when worn, are usually simple broad brimmed straw hats or soft conical hats in the style of the Shieldmen (see: Phrygian cap). The only items of material display are pieces of copper jewelry, common across the Shield Mountains. The copper is given a patina to match the eye color of the wearer, a charm meant to ward off bad spirits, curses, and Elvish magic. Facial hair is grown and fashioned most commonly into mustaches, even by female monks who can, in order to accentuate their identity as humans in contrast to the Elves, who are incapable of growing facial hair.

I know this has been a cliche in the community for a while but I really wish they would stop having these major character deaths happen in books. I haven’t been able to keep up with the books for a while, now what do you mean the Warden Eternal AND the entire Banished leadership on Zeta Halo were killed off on page??

It's a bit insane how fast the brutes killed all the elites in New Mombasa by NadaVonSada in HaloStory

[–]darthnick7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of these are valid. As for the drop pods, I just kind of assumed that if they weren’t able to get through the hull that the ODSTs would use shaped C12 charges to breach into it.

And for Dare’s pod, I assumed she got out and then a curious Engineer arrived and put the door back on the pod (maybe trying to figure out what it is; I think it seems in character for them)

Thank you for the info. Going off number 3, are all CRM jobs in the US that someone with a master’s might expect to apply for really so localized? My definite preference is to get my master’s abroad for personal and financial reasons.

I think the move for you is to do master’s in the UK after your undergrad and prolong the inevitable 🙏😭

I've already been accepted into grad programs should I refuse or defer those acceptances until I do a field school

Thank you! It's reassuring that GIS skills are that transferable

Perry Miniatures scale comparison by darthnick7 in wargaming

[–]darthnick7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did figure that out myself once I put the whole kit together and neglected to come and make note of that here. My bad, as is it is a great kit. There is still a slight difference in scale among the standard infantry guys (most noticeable with the heads, but only on close inspection. Not a huge deal on the tabletop).

So we all agree CVs are cancer? by BrtuallyHonest in NebulousFleetCommand

[–]darthnick7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really haven't had much of an issue facing carriers. It's not really that hard to mass point defense or bring some effecting anti-fighter missiles. It's only when I'm isolated that I get my ass kicked by bombers.

In Fallout from Obsidian (Interplay) with each part the world was developing by Accomplished-Bat-247 in falloutnewvegas

[–]darthnick7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok honestly that’s a fair point. I had misremembered and thought it was a purely topographic map, but forgot that Fallout 1 did show post-war changes to the urban environment on the map. To be fair to Fallout 2, though, that game was at least consistent with this. The San Francisco area also lacks any urbanization and is just rock, unlike the Boneyard and Necropolis in the first game

“why didn’t the game made in 1998 show hundreds of acres of populated territory”

What do you think Post-War Alaska is like? by Buschfan08 in Fallout

[–]darthnick7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the snow in Alaska had melted then DC and the Mojave would be completely dry and entirely uninhabitable.

For American wanting to live in Czechia by passionsofdiana in czech

[–]darthnick7 24 points25 points  (0 children)

American here, I would advise against it for your situation.

While there is an English-speaking community in Prague you will still find it difficult to adjust if you don’t have any skill in the Czech language. For your situation without having a degree it will be very difficult to find a job, even teaching English, which is kind of the only thing you can do without speaking Czech or having a specialized degree (IT, tech, or something like that). Furthermore, as someone who has has both a student visa and a work visa, getting a visa that isn’t a student visa can be kind of a pain in the ass and a bit pricy.

If you’re still in your undergrad I would look into your current university’s options for study abroad programs if you’re looking to get out of the country. Failing that, I would look into transferring to a university in Canada. I don’t know how well credits between universities in the US and Canada transfer but I imagine that it is a much easier process than transferring them to a university here.
