Halo is unique. At a time when the military shooter genre was closed in terrestrial (or at best, mars) spaces, Halo presented natural environments filled with gorgeous alien architecture that presents an ancient mystery and a sense of wonder at the scale and the age of a place. Perfectly augmented by the monk-like vocalisations, Halo defies the conventions of military shooters by putting you in a beautiful place that you have to explore, and slowly come to understand.

Wow, that triggered my trauma really bad for a split second. I used to get told that all the time when I was a kid, just because I was curious and neurodivergent. Eventually I came to see that sentence as a symbol of the poor empathy of neurotypicals for autistic people, and of ableism in general. If you said that in my house to a member of my family you'd probably start a domestic incident, because every autistic person I know has a similar experience.

I'm glad Playstation games are coming out on PC now. I bought a PS4 for the exclusives and the ones I bought it for were good, but I'm never gonna buy a PS5.

Funny thing about owning a console is that when Christmas and birthday come along, non gamer family and friends would rather get you a physical object than a steam key. But a physical object is sooooooo inconvenient. So I own the PS versions of RDR2 and AC Oddysey, and I've never finished them and probably never will. They're good games, but it's a bad platform. Bloody annoying.

Lego Island 2 was great

Iron Man: they are executives at the same company that developed the tech

Black Panther: the bad guy literally just couped the government of Wakanda

Ant Man: the villain is a former business parter of Pym

Dr Strange: they trained at the same monastery and the bad guy trained for longer

I think these fights are boring most of the time, but they're not implausible. They have plenty of plot justification.

Also the character who copied Hawkeye was a girl who was inspired by his heroism and spent years learning archery and martial arts and still sucked at being Hawkeye when she met him

There's one example of freezing in space done right. In the finale of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency, Kars gets shot into space and tries to course correct with air jets, but then he starts freezing over, air jets first.

In Phantom Blood, we were shown Dio's special technique for freezing people by evaporating the moisture on his skin. This is to introduce viewers to the fact that boiling a liquid makes it colder. Kars froze because the moisture in his air jets boiled in the vacuum and became freezing cold. Kars didn't know this detail of physics because he's an ancient Aztec.

And a web app for accessing first aid resources should have a tight process.

That would be so cool! We could do a kind of Asimov story with them if they're intelligent. What are some good rules for mechs to follow in the Apex Legends universe?

Can I see your story? Something about this whole event grips me. I can't learn enough about it.

There is never any good reason to point a gun at someone you are not currently trying to kill.

Yes there is. The good reason is being an actor who is playing a character who's trying to kill someone.

Actually, he didn't pull the trigger. It was a revolver and he fired it by pulling the hammer back.
