Ya the lore is pretty great actually with the caveat that I don’t consider anything cannon post-bungie (including that stupid tv show). I even read some of the books and they’re not bad. like cheap margaritas, not much to them but you can just slam em’ back. The best was a full lobby playing jenga, mongoose race, trash compactor, ghostbusters, I haven’t scratched that itch in years. Back when games were built around fun and not competitive sweaty twitchy cash grabs.

me too, thanks.

Just make a counter meme about the covenant. A militant band of religious zealots hell bent on bringing about the “great journey” that unwittingly also happens to destroy all sentient life in the galaxy.

I’ve got a big soft spot for halo, my favourite memories in gaming happened in halo 3 custom pre-game lobbies, they really don’t make em’ like they used to!

its brutal out there, CP24 Put out a thing saying something like 1 in 5 food bank users have jobs which is wild. isn’t that the whole point of the social contract? We provide productivity and in return the employer provides payment for you to live? what happens when thats not enough…

they should go ahead with everything and disprove all this nonsense in court

thats fine, we just signed a thing with Mexico. Lets go play with our other friends for a while.

that makes sense if you’re trying to manufacture consent for another unpopular invasion.

I had a brazillian co-worker that brought in “real bananas” and it was a night and day difference. way more flavour.

Its a cool game and there is really nothing like it but I won’t lie I hate actually playing it, the controls and gameplay are just meh and some of the bosses are ridiculous but the setpieces and everything else was top tier.

Thats too bad But I kind of get it. I adored Alan wake and control but never played firebreak, was it any good?

i bet it was lupin!

Thats called manufacturing results and its a massive nono. I work in a research pathology lab and I’ve refused to do sketchy analysis for clients asking me fudge stuff to fit a narrative. I can’t put into words how irresponsible this is, anyone else would be fired on the spot.

all my homies hate private equity.

I just hear twinkle twinkle little star

Ghost recon: wildlands IRL

I’ve seen a culture plate that looked like that

Any time! best of luck!

Every job is going to have workplace drama. I’m also in sciences, I spent 2 years on a masters thesis, 8 years in a research pathology core lab and now I’m about to switch over to medical lab work which has all the same core issues. Most people are nice and supportive but from time to time you run into arrogant personalities that refuse to listen and learn or ask for impossible requests in a very short amount of time. Management is under constant pressure to crank out high quality work with limited resources, salaries are low resulting in poor staff retention, brain drain and turnover so over time the work becomes more and more difficult for the incoming new hires as the scope of the job slowly creeps. What really helped me was to embrace and accept the chaos. Its just a job like any other. Go to work, you do you, go home. Just one good friend at work makes a huge difference, be flexible and help each other out. These are hard jobs so do everything you can to make everyone’s lives easier. Also don’t back down from conflict, speak up for yourselves and others. I’ve had bosses that advocate for my interests and bosses that don’t, you really need to speak up for yourself because no one else will. Sorry for the rant but I hope this helps. You remind me of a new hire trying to find their foothold in the sciences and I’ve found this advice useful in the past. Things just happen, go with the flow and try to emotionally detach yourself from it, things just happen for no reason sometimes and its out of your hands.
