I think it's wonderful that Halo is bringing in a horror author to tell a scifi horror story. It's a big enough setting to have a home for a lot of subgenres like that. *starts pulling a chain of clown scarves out of my pocket* I suggest scifi romcom. *the scarves keep going and going*

From the "celebrate every bit of good news" department: people in the US Virgin Islands can now update the gender marker on their ID (the first Us territory to allow it). Too much medical and legal gatekeeping for it to be a *great* policy, but it's a start! www.vi.gov/governor-bry...

Marty O'Donnell is the biggest Halo grifter of them all and he thinks it will get him into Congress.

"Hey Zita the government and a shitty corporation are posting cringe using that one IP you like." "That would be cool and awesome information for me to not know."

I put my folding knife somewhere safe over the weekend cause I obviously couldn't carry it into a convention center. Guess what I haven't been able to find.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!! DOZENS!!!!!!!!!

i forgot to show you guys the shirt i made for halo world championships so here's that

The best thing about the Weapon's name is they went with a choice that so clearly made sense to so many Halo lore nerds that tens, maybe even dozens of people get to brag to their friends about calling it right beforehand. #Halo #hcs

I have seen so many incredibly skilled Halo fans this weekend. The artists, the makers, the modders, the cosplayers, the forge builders, it's been amazing! Oh and some people who are really good at the game I guess.

What a weekend, huh?

Having opinions about Halo online is the fastest way to meet the stupidest people you've never heard of.

Smugly talking shit about disc rot while engraving all my physical media on clay tablets.

bumblebee escape pod they could never make me hate you

watched some of the halo tv show again. i got some details i misremembered straightened out because i was calmer this time. it did not make the experience one iota better.

vegeta was my OG cartoon bf. bloodspill is literally just him genderswapped in wolf form. do u see it

fernando and chief yaoi that appeared last night in my dream let’s go lesbians #halo #haloinfinite #yaoi #masterchief

started playing picross 2 on a whim. good.

I have a dear friend who was incarcerated for several years, and spent quite a bit of that working in the prison kitchen. He also reported, directly to me, that they regularly got bags and boxes of food marked "not for human consumption".

I remembered about cup of tea

Forgot I had a bluesky again

if "free ben giraud" falls through as my hcs shirt idea i can always go with my backup plan ("i forget reach")

It's funny because if you're a few years older than that and molecularly bonded with Halo 2 and the Nylund novels at 14, Reach can have always been Call of Duty trend-chasing lore-breaking disappointment to you from minute one.

I think I can condemn murder while still appreciating irony.

The problem with mtg arena is i am unfortunately too good at it?

(WIP) when your dog has something in its mouth and won't show you #Halo

Imagine knowing the Smart AI running a massive spaceship sets aside processing power every day to bother you and you specifically that's kinda like flirting right My friends have poisoned me into caring about Jared Miller and Roland so I went and made fanart about it #HaloSpotlight #Halo #art

There are several more important things he could be doing but thank god Roland's good enough at multitasking to keep bothering his most favorite special guy yet more miller/roland content for the people because I wasn't done apparently #Halo #HaloSpotlight #art

my tumblr friends are no help at all

the best best best thing about styracosaurus is raptor players don't expect you to be able to chase them over cliffs and you see them go oh shit oh shit oh shit

If your baby grows up to be twice as big as you that just means you did double good at parenting. (My official servers daspletosaurus in path of titans raised a baby tyrannosaurus rex all the way to sub-adult stage today.)

Wondering how fast we'd go from expensive luxury automated kitchen -> having no choice but to pay an exorbitant subscription to the AutoKitchen corporation that was willing to install one in your unit at the lowest cost to your landlord, and you can't get a real kitchen in a studio anymore.

No one asked, but I am gonna think about this bit from John Clute's 1998 introduction to The Lensmen books for a while. (Brackets are context I added for my friends.) It backs up a lot of stuff I already kinda thought re: what the appeal of sf was to conservative types.

After trying out four different firmwares on this device (trimui brick), I am FINALLY satisfied. (Knulli. Its menu customization features mean nothing to me, but if I can't easily rip out retroarch's entrails in excruciating detail whenever I want on the fly while playing, I am not happy.)

I'm told this is what Scientology is like

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

I'm still irked about the "Master Chief sees himself as a hero" thing because it's so provably incorrect. Thread later when I'm not busy going to the mines.

I DEEPLY FUCKING RESENT the Fifth Circuit and the Supreme Court for making me write this goddamn fucking news post

Last Halo thought for today: If you can't see the implications of fiction valorizing a very American empire in a situation where it has to make a glorious last stand against the scary alien hordes, get your eyes checked.
