I had a feeling A:TLA would be mentioned, I would've sworn Zuko would be the guy...

I think they underused Sokka tbh. Such a good character yet his role in the gaang wasn't shown as often as I'd like.

Sounds like me tbh, being a bit silly and causing trouble for people around me with no ill will
(though ~~un~~fortunately I'm still alive)

Chiquita (or a parent company idc).

Among the many other bad things they did, they knowingly AND REPEATEDLY hired terrorists, and also moved the US to overthrow the Guatemalan government just for a few labor laws.
Is it even possible to get an order of magnitude more cynical than that?

As I was writing the body of the post, that's pretty much the conclusion I came to.
There's not much more I could say with my limited knowledge on philosophy and psychology ~~without spreading misinformation or something~~.

You're welcome, though keep up your post chain with the two remaining good ones first ;^;

I wouldn't know, actually. Halo 4 is the last game whose campaign I played - since H4 is in the MCC, H5 is not on PC, and H:I costs too much for my opinion of it.

Halo 5 is infamously more book-dependent than Halo 4, and ...

(spoiler block that I should have used in my previous comment)the two things in H:I that follow from H5 are cortana bad and Infinity runs away

... , so IF you want to skip Halo 5, worst case, you may be missing how you ended up where H:I begins.
There may be a reference to a certain Spartan Locke here or there, idr.

I don't want to spoil your fun, so I'd say you should run through H5 if you're planning to play Infinite and if (unlike me) you wouldn't have to buy an Xbox to do so.

To answer your first question: I can't say too much about a game that I only vaguely remember from watching a playthrough on YT, but from what I do remember, H:I is somewhat more self-contained.

Would've bet my money on that exact outcome *^*

The fact that you didn't really understand the plot is not your fault: 343I Halo games until H:I have an obsession on requiring you to read books to straighten up the story.

If you have questions such as:

  1. Why are the covvies the baddies again?
  2. What does the Halsey cutscene have to do with anything?
  3. Who the hell is the Didact?
  4. Why the hell is the Didact doing things?
  5. Who the hell is the Librarian?
  6. Spartans on the Infinity? Wasn't 117 the last Spartan or something?
  7. Was that ending a QTE?

... it's because none of those questions are answered within the main plot of H4.
Some answers (3,4,5) you can find in books, some (1,2,6) in Spartan Ops (I never even played those), some (7) here on Lemmy - yes that was absolutely a QTE for a final boss in a Halo game.

If it's any consolation for Cortana's death being undone later offscreen, SPOILER AHEAD, her death's undoing is also undone later offscreen.

...

... on second thought, I lied a bit. Halo 4's main story does answer the first question in the list above, and the answer is "A lot can change in 4 years".

My personal minimum is a stable 40/s, which is roughly where I start noticing the lower framerate without paying attention to it.
With 30/s I need to get used to it, and I usually underclock (or, rather, power-limit) my GPU to hit an average 50 unless the game in question is either highly unstable (e.g. Helldivers 2) or the game is so light I don't have to care (e.g. Selaco).

I'm offended by the cliffhanger, the sudden interruption of that whole stream of consciousness

Played against them this evening, fuck that.

You guys do the MO, I'll keep the illuminates warm
