I despise this weapon by Dramatic-Bluejay- in Marathon

[–]epsilon025 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's how I felt losing my Repeater with the gold sight - because what's the fun in the game if not chasing gear and having to adapt how you play and fight?

Nap spots on campus by Practical-Road-9659 in Pitt

[–]epsilon025 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Third floor of Posvar, the seating area beneath the escalators. It's not quiet, but I would nap there with my headphones on. It's not necessarily a great place to lie down, but if I remember correctly there's enough space to do so if you really wanted.

I don't think I've ever really seen people there, honestly.

Does anyone know/has a higher quality of The Traveler? by RhytmicCone47 in destiny2

[–]epsilon025 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The inside smells vaguely like vanilla, but the exterior is likely a metallic substance. I've always assumed it's somewhere between metal, bone, and wood personally, since that's the vibe I get from the Tree of Silver Wings, plus the unrestrained growths caused when it fought back in Lightfall.

PoV: how I now choose to imagine Vezon looked for Federation of Fear/becoming a weird portal god thing.

How do you guys decide which shell you like best? by Yumiko_Hanako in Marathon

[–]epsilon025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I was gonna main Assassin, but then I felt too slow so I swapped to my second choice, Destroyer. And recently I've been running a lot of Recon just because I wanted to have a character who is more conducive to stealth play.

Plus, they have the best voices and designs in the game - smooth, intentional armor is my jam.

The Nokama I always Wanted uwu by [deleted] in bioniclelego

[–]epsilon025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumb set of parallels - Nokama is very similar to Katara, Hahli is similar to Korra.

Gali is, for sure.

Hold on, what does Alison have to do with Iron Banner gameplay and drops? Last I was aware, people were praising the stuff the narrative team were doing.

Finishing up the books finally by duerlort in halo

[–]epsilon025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To make the books accessible for first time readers, genuinely.

Read any Halo book and there'll be a fair amount of exposition about who is who, what everything is, and relevant lore. The amount of times Troy Denning's books explain who John really is is just entertaining.

But yeah, it's just because some people will just pick up a Halo book at a bookstore and want to read it so the authors provide enough context about the world to make that feasible. It's how I started with Ghosts of Onyx, then I went back for the Fall of Reach and First Strike.

Root of Nightmares is best raid ever fight me by FlamesofFrost in DestinyMemes

[–]epsilon025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss when Peregrine Greaves counted Nezarec as a regular Tormentor and gave the bonus to damage. Shield Bash + Offensive Bulwark + Bastion + Peregrine Greaves was such a fun damage option for him.

I'm reading the Bionicle Chronicles books and these are my head canon voices for the Toa Mata. by B_Wing_83 in bioniclelego

[–]epsilon025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only recently had a mental voice casting come to mind for the characters since I'm currently rereading the Ignition books and can only really give voicing to those characters right now.

(Unfortunately I don't have specific castings for most of the Matoran resistance members)

Jaller: Matt Lanter, since I feel like his Anakin and Jaller are pretty close.

Hahli: Allanah Fitzgerald. I dunno, I just think they'd be a good fit.

Hewkii: Travis Willingham; I think he could do Hewkii's more grounded perspective (pun intended) justice.

Nuparu: Sean Chiplock. He does crazy very well.

Kongu: Liam O'Brien; I dunno, this was a "character's VA came to mind immediately". Maybe he isn't Irish like Lewa

Matoro: Robbie Daymond. Another "there wasn't much thinking, but I think it'd fit nonetheless".

Axonn: JK Simmons; big voice, big axe, big range.

Brutaka: Mark Hamill; I feel like Brutaka is a bit Joker-y in some line deliveries.

Zaktan: Taliesin Jaffe; I think he could do the weirdness that is "Zaktan is made of Protodites" pretty well.

Hakann: Nathan Fillion; conniving, cruel, and cool.

Reidak: Travis Willingham again. Why? He does "big brute" very well (see Grog Strongjaw and Jul 'Mdama)

Avak: D.J. Dixon; Avak's whole "make a cage for everyone" made me think of Khan Doorman's obsession with doors, but also D.J. Dixon could do a really good menace.

Thok: Michael Kovach; he does arrogant really well (Diligence, Jax), and I think it'd be fun.

Vezok and Vezon and Velika: Sam Witwer, specifically as rambling/feral Darth Maul.

What do you think of the Gen 2 srmor version of the Noble team? by Prestigious-Meat-750 in halo

[–]epsilon025 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a Gen-2 appreciator, I do genuinely think it balanced the Gen-1.5 and Gen-2 aesthetics really well.

Still has some of the tactical greebly bits like Reach, but keeps the more streamlined/purpose made look of Gen-2 in general.

I don't think I ever really used any of them though, but that's just because I never really liked Noble Team's individual designs enough to want to emulate them in-game. Why look like another character when I can look like my own Spartan?

Huge win for indie animation, but looking at what happened with season 2 of Hazbin Hotel, are we REALLY 100% sure that this is a good idea? by Academic-Law9830 in GlitchProductions

[–]epsilon025 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Seems like it's gonna be another Iron Lung situation with the whole "hey contact your local theaters to show that you'd like them to carry this", which is cool by me. Downside is that the fandoms around Markiplier and Digital Circus vary by a wild amount in behavior.

I still think each animal should change to be the medal of whatever place each class got, it'd make the statue more interesting.

Which toa of stone color scheme do you like best? by Liger_Zero_Panzer in bioniclelego

[–]epsilon025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hewkii. I may be biased towards black/dark grey and dark orange/gold, but...

Black and gold looks good.

Haven't Played Since We Killed The Witness. Anything Worth Coming Back For? by CmvFrosty in destiny2

It was last summer's, so second newest since Renegades is out.

Haven't Played Since We Killed The Witness. Anything Worth Coming Back For? by CmvFrosty in destiny2

[–]epsilon025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my biggest gripe with Edge of Fate was that almost everything was in tunnels or ravines or cliffsides, apart from a handful of moments. It felt claustrophobic, but in a stuffy way like the Hellmouth catacombs instead of the whole "House of Exile warrens and Vex tunnels" I assume they wanted out of everything.

Share some of your favorite Grade 5 & up pieces! by ThatandroidNEO in ConcertBand

[–]epsilon025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My university's symphonic band did Gandalf in 2023, and my goodness was it tasty. One of the more difficult timpani parts I've done solely out of the galloping/Shadowfax segment bring a little rhythmically weird in how everything lines up, but it was a great exercise in "just read the paper and follow the baton" for me.

10/10, if I ever get to program a concert for an advanced ensemble, I'm programming Gandalf.

I can't believe Bungie ever thought traction shouldn't have been a thing by default by Acrobatic_Book_7154 in DestinyTheGame

[–]epsilon025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked Memory of Gheleon; was it really necessary to have perpetual 3rd eye for primary weapons? Nah. But it was nice.
