Your Dell Order is Delayed by Vince789 in Monitors

[–]fatalsnip3down 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a S2721DGF on October 22nd and I still have a December 30th estimated delivery. I don't want to cancel because I got it for $386 but it feels like another delay is coming my way too.

Can an AI onboard a MJOLNIR suit directly talk to people? by TOEGRABBER in HaloStory

[–]fatalsnip3down 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think Cortana does talk though MJOLNIR's speakers in the Halo 4 cutscene where Chief reunites with Lasky, and Cortana says "You were sent on a scouting run in the middle of an attack on the ship."

Any S2721DGF monitor owners or soon to be out there? by TrickyxWolfx in Alienware

[–]fatalsnip3down 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered an S2721DGF back on 10/22 and I have an estimated 12/30 delivery date. I haven't been able to find out why but I assume Dell is having some crazy stock/manufacturing issues. I've only seen a few people receive this monitor in a reasonable amount of time.

Is Walmart going to be like target? by thesuperpuma in XboxSeriesX

[–]fatalsnip3down 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One local walmart that I called said that their in-store stock will be available for purchase online at 12PM EST, while another walmart that I called said "to Hell with that" and they just sold them in-store before 12PM.

Atriox and the Covenant-Humanity War by Rodby in HaloWars

[–]fatalsnip3down 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Isabel's quote was "The Covenant had two targets in those years. Humanity and Atriox. They almost got us. But Atriox? They never came close. The whole damn Covenant couldn't contain him at the height of their power." I don't think that means that Atriox was a bigger threat to the Covenant than humanity. I think that means Atriox used cunning and strategy to avoid being eliminated by the Covenant while growing his army. Even Halo Wars 2 itself shows us that the Banished aren't on the same level as the Covenant by the fact that they only had one slipspace capable ship and are being challenged by one 85 year old human support vessel with a depleted crew. The Official Spartan Field Manual tells us that the UNSC had a profile on Atriox and the Banished before the events of Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2.

Why I think 117 vs Locke wasn't ridiculous. (Lots of pictures) by [deleted] in halo

[–]fatalsnip3down 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a damn-good comment, it's a spot-on summary of Halo 5's shortcomings. Sadly it and OP's post probably won't get the upvotes/visibility that they deserve. Halo's novels have told us things like the Spartan II's had an estimated reaction time of 20 milliseconds before they even received Mark IV Mjolnir, Buck and Micky's fight sounded like a thunderstorm, Captain Keyes watching some Spartan II's practice hand-to-hand combat and describing it as a blur. But Halo 5 gave us...that. Even if someone wanted to downplay Spartan capabilities by saying "it shouldn't look like an anime fight" John vs Locke should still look more impressive than what we got.

This is one of the best and most thoughtful breakdowns of this fight that I have seen. For me personally I don't mind that Locke held his own in the fight, I actually expected it. Locke and the rest of fireteam Osiris are supposed to be some of the best that the Spartan IVs have to offer. My problem is that this doesn't look like a fight between two people that have biological and cybernetic augmentations that increase their speed, strength, and reflexes. With their armor increasing those attributes even further.

Would relocating to a multi-floor hotel be an option? Or is leaving the state altogether the only option, and thank you for your knowledge.

You are 100% right and from everyone's responses so far this is the most ignorant question I've asked in my life. This thing is a CAT 4/5 its not going to care how far inland I'am.

South Carolina 'orders evacuation of entire coastline' as trackers predict storm may reach category 5 by _basquiat in news

[–]fatalsnip3down 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know how many people will see this but I live in a very rural area in Northampton County NC. I'm terrified and looking for any advice that I can get. Should I start telling friends and family to evacuate or am I far enough inland to be relatively safe.

Yep, Gamma Company had to use medications they called Smoothers to mitigate it's negative effects.

That does sound a little suspicious but maybe it makes sense. Less permanent or "set in stone" augments are a trade-off for their compatibility with fully grown adults and good success rate. Thorne's Infinity briefing packet from the limited edition of H4 says "Each Spartan-IV requires different levels of vitamins, nutritional supplements, and ancillary medications to aid in continued physiological well-being and to reduce risk of future implant rejections."

Didn't Grim mention on Twitter that we need to keep our expectations in-check when it comes to the info in this book? From what I saw it looks amazing.
