I don't know what BlueSky changed recently but apparently it now thinks I'm gay so its showing a bunch of cam dudes but also thinks I want to see new women bot account's announcement selfies? I don't want either of these, thanks. Also, get these AI services and art shit out of my face, too.

Right on! OG Halo is my go to for the sweet spot of speedrunning tricking vs exploiting, kinda ironically.

Fair. I kinda felt like it was but I've genuinely had conversations like that with people I know.

There are definitely speedruns that I watch and feel like you arent playing a game and just playing an input simulator. OoT any%. Red/Blue any%. But calling that cheating? Nah. Theres a reason categories exsist. Outside of splicing, outside tools, and undisclosed tas-ing, you can't really cheat.

Public interest for AI is non-exsistant so they're just throwing shit at the wall to see if any of it sticks. You know what could actually facilitate UBI and shorter work weeks? Tax Billionairs.

Out of no where a few of my videos have started getting bot comments every few hours. Pretty much without fail the names are [name]-[4 random characters]. Its so blatantly obvious they're bots you wonder why YouTube hasn't figured out how to stop them.

My single biggest concern going into the Avtivision era. Say what you will about 343 but how they handled the community and being open with this kind of thing was probably the best thing they carried over from the Bungie era. The Halo community is non-exsiatant today without it.

You never know just how much you like posts until you go through them. And the amount of "political" posts that shouldn't be even remotely political is crazy. Pro-Palistine, LGBTQIA+ posts, anti-faschist posts. Basic human rights have become political.

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I think I need to go purge some likes. Don't know what I did to get all the dude NSFW stuff. No hate but it just does nothing for me and it kinda took over the non-political posts I see. Need to unlike a bunch of political posts, too.

I've never been one of those "Frank O'Connor is evil and the reason Halo sucks now" train. I dont really have anything against the guy. But why the fuck do we care what he had to say? Especially if you are one of the haters. Plus, his ideas are just...not very good.

I thought the #fire343 crowd was unbearable before but now that they've gotten what the want a SECOND time, its reached levels of dumbassery I didn't think possible. They're showing their whole ass. Like what is this shit? Go fuck yourself, man. Grow the fuck up.

Oh, yeah. I wasn't saying you specifically were one of those people. Just using your post to highlight the obsurdity. I agree. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

And I'll be there saying "I told you so" cause there's been plenty to love in the 343/HS era, regardless of what these "anti-fans" have said over the years. Also, that cycle is always bullshit. Its just a result of the haters moving on and the clarity of time. It isn't revisionist history.

If this makes you hopeful for the future of Halo and you think it couldn't be worse than 343/Halo Studios, you're an idiot. The grass is always greener. Don't know what you've got til it's gone. I hope you're right. I do. However, the history of both Activision and Microsoft are not on your side.

010

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

One of the 2 biggest problems was a lack of institutional knowledge going from game to game as a result of only using contractors for 18 months. Now you're gutting what knowledge remains? How do you expect to get Activision off on the right foot with all that knowledge just gone?

110

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I'm not writing off an Activision lead game, to be clear. I'll give anyone a chance. But my confidence in the future of Halo just took a massive nose dive. I hope this is the catalyst that can finally get Halo to not be a neglected IP but I'm very doubtful. Its still under Microsoft, after all.

110

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Now that the #fire343 people got their wish AGAIN, how do you like that monkey's paw curl giving it to Activision? Before today, Activision would have been the worst agreed upon studio to get the franchise by anyone. How're those goalposts going to move?

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Saw two political ads back to back and every claim made against the MO anti-trans amendment and the Kansas dem candidate were completely false. Claims of schools doing "irreversable" gender surgeries, candidate giving money directly to immigrants. That kind of bullshit. These fuckers are shameless.

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Halo Reach cant be touched as a complete package. Forge is a good balance of map maker and game mode. Crazy customization in Firefight, Forge, and customization. Pretty good campaign But its the worst Bungie Halo when it comes to sandbox, encounter design, and especially AI. Its noticably less fun.

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Honestly don't think that should be an unpopular opinion. Halo Wars, especially 2, are solid games and dont have the same 343 baggage of the shooters.

And this is why I say the terrorists won. Everything changed after 9/11 and where we are now as a country is exactly a result of it. They got everything they could have possibly hoped for.

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I say this to Halo fans about Campaign Evolved and now Zelda fans about the OoT remake: If you want a 1:1 upscale version, play the original with mods. Why bother remaking a game if you don't do some hindsight changes? If not being 1:1 is you're complaint, you'd never be happy with the remake.

Ocarina of Time remake looks good, mostly. My gut reaction was negative but by the time the trailer was over, I saw the vision. It has a solid art direction that isn't "Zelda in Unreal." That's said, Link looks too detailed compared to other NPCs and his and Zelda's faces feel really uncanny.

This is basically my philosophy when criticizing anything, especially hings I'm deeply into. You have to take context and reality into consideration otherwise you're just complaining.

So, in the SAG-AFTRA video game strike of 2016--not the most recent one--SAG-AFTRA attempted to codify residuals to voice actors for games. The game companies--predictably--fought back against that. What was interesting, though, was the behind-the-scenes talk of *why* they fought back. <cont'd>

If you look at just the story, maybe. But the Multiplayer, Theater, Forge, and Custom Games all made up for it. And how much the majority of Halo players actually cared about the story itself, even back then, is a bit overblown. Most were in it just for the set pieces and gameplay anyway.

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It's things like this that really highlight the bubbles we're in. How much of it is the algorithms and how much is your own curration and platforms you use cause who the fuck is gatekeeping Dolly Parton? I haven't seen any hint of that anywhere.

Someone spends too much time online at Sony or is supremely arrogant. If you're only online, you might think the average consumer knows purchasing doesn't mean ownership. But that's a small minority of the "average" "reasonable consumer." I know for sure the actual average consumer doesn't assume it

Its amazing how a game like Halo Infinite is "dead" because there are "only" a 3k players on Steam but you get online and you find matches within seconds and aren't playing the same people every game. Who knew there was a difference between what hater say and the reality of playing the game.

OozyGorilla @oozygorilla.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

You know damned well that all these people saying Campaign Evolved is garbage simply for not having multiplayer would be the same ones bitching that "this doesn't feel like Halo 1's multiplayer" even if it did have it.

I've felt like millennials and younger have never been able to be the adults in our own lives and have any control of our future's direction because of these fucks who refuse to give up their power and just enjoy their twilight years. The oldest of us are in our 40s for Christ's sake.

Halo is popular for a reason! And the last 2 missions are a more reasonable length so youre through the worst if it.

Remake or OG? OG definitely gets a bit same-y and overly long in the middle there. Remake does it a bit better, imo.

If you cant have the same grace and understanding as Marcus Lehto while criticizing Halo, your opinion is useless to me. You arent helping to make Halo better. You're harming it. If you cant differentiate between the devs who care and the execs that dont and are the reason it's been shit, go away.

I was going to make a post like "why is it so hard to just be a good person" in reference to our current "leaders" and the 1%. Then Dolly, the perfect example of what a good person with status and money can do, passes. Feels connected somehow. The Reaper keeps taking the wrong fucking people, man.
