That better be grad school and not undergraduate school
Nolan Gonzalez
Anyone playing the SoT alpha this afternoon? If I can get a crew together I'd be down for some player hunting
Connor Jenkins
I might be able to play. Can't say for sure though.

>Halo 2 Anniversary contains a hidden plush toy of the Ur-Didact, along with several other characters, as an easter egg. >The dolls are also featured in the Halo 5: Guardians Forge mode, in which the description for the Didact toy interestingly reads "Not all visitors to the Domain are strangers".
What'd they mean by this?
Anthony Lopez
Tito and Dog are currently Bitch Status. Anyone who doesn't show up at 4PM PST for the photo shoot and anyone who doesn't appear in the photo will become Cucked Status.
Nathaniel Parker
>tfw no Halo 5 Master Chief & Friends Superstars adventures in dreamland
Ryan Thomas
The fuck happened to 5PM EST?
Anyway, if one of them needs a drunk and punchy sub, count me in.
Colton Sanchez
gt?

>17 threads to go >no Achilles yet AHAHA
Mason Lewis
I'll check back in an hour, I need to hit rank 10 on Order of Souls anyway Vantavia
Im pushing the holiday photo back one hour to give you westcoasters a chance. Consider that your Chanukkah present.
6 PM Eastern Time First come first serve
Levi Morgan
I HAVE A CHANCE! I CAN MAKE IT
Eli Murphy
West coaster here. Fuck that. Go for the original time.
Tyler Bailey
>tfw wasn't going to be able to make it because I had work until 5:30 >work is 3 miles from home >I have no car Gotta go fast
Connor Garcia
Westcoaster here. Thank you.
Camden Scott
>put down my controller to respond to this >accidentally shoot eileen >can't get the best rune in BB now
aaaaaand time for a new save file
Lincoln Hall
And what was your response going to be?
Gavin Hall
I was going to say that if there was any sense of fucking initiative and the capacity to warrant it then someone else should have stepped up and said "if anyone from a non EST time zone wants a shot then we're hosting a second picture".
Jackson Ortiz
I don't consider an /hg/ holiday photo to be a professional event, but last minute delays are nonetheless unprofessional. There's no sense changing the time again now, but you have my word in the future I'll do better to keep things consistant with their announcements.
Brody Anderson
1 picture is fine nigger :)
Matthew Roberts
>a courtesy reschedule >delay
Camden Baker
Yeah, a delay so more people can have a chance to get in. 6pm is not unreasonable. Stop whining.
Levi Foster
It's not being professional, it's being pragmatic. The entire company cannot fit into one picture, so we either need more or it's first come first serve. And if you're outside of the time zone of the one who decided to step the fuck up then start your own picture lobby or don't be involved.
Isaiah Gutierrez
>we either need more No, photoshop has already been decided as the solution. >it's first come first serve Yes. If you can't be there, that's not my problem. It's not a delay, it's a rescheduling. I'm not the one whining.
Bentley Jenkins
Something tells me this isn't Red
Parker Davis
It isn't
Robert Hernandez
The one who decided to "step the fuck up" and organize the picture was red.
He's also the one who decided to change the time. No issues here. People get upset about the most retarded things.
Leo Rivera
You can't split that in half. You specifically changed the time because of people who couldn't accept first come first serve, and then you lash out on the basis that it's been that way all along. Negative, infinity. I don't like it.
Alexander Cruz
I'm not upset, personally. Just impatient. Not the guy calling it unprofessional btw
John Johnson
what is wrong with you
how do you function in daily life if moving a picture ahead by one hour bothers you this much
Dylan Anderson
you mean moving a picture back by one hour? How the fuck do YOU function?
Leo Evans
I really don't care. I just want some consistency here. Anyone who can't make it can be photoshopped in and cry about it, fine. But then you moved the time by an hour because why, exactly? Because of people who can't make it? Or was it entirely arbitrary? I've got so many questions!
Tyler Jenkins
The picture was going to be at 5pm now it's at 6pm. That's ahead an hour. Brainlet.
William Sanchez
Yeah but people want to be in with RED and shit. Not a bunch of literal who's?
Grayson Evans
I'm not Red, moron. > then you lash out on the basis that it's been that way all along What the actual fuck? >I don't like it. I don't give a fuck. Don't be in the picture.
Josiah Jenkins
Are YOU going to be photoshopping them in? Are you doing ANYTHING worthwhile or are you just complaining that something organized by someone else has slightly changed??
The time was moved by an hour to let west coast anons have more of a chance to get in. It's monday. People go to work. 5pm EST is only 2pm PST.
David Thomas
So no solo picture day collage?
Xavier Allen
I'll type in smaller words. The time was changed so that other people could be here. But other people were going to be magicked into the picture anyway. What's the reasoning?
Did that pierce the veil, or are we going to have to resort to monosyllabic vocabulary? Maybe hieroglyphics?
Alexander Bell
No, that's an hour back. Time comes AT you, not away from you. RETARD
Adam Diaz
>What's the reasoning? Red wants to see us scramble/be fair to west coasters to be in the first print. How did you not piece this together?
Brody Stewart
Can I get a source on the fact that someone is going to Photoshop in missing people because all I got is an extremely short post in the last thread that may or may not have been a joke
Colton Morris
i want collage-user to confirm he exists if not then i will become him
Wyatt Murphy
>I don't like it Why? Afraid you won't get in the first print. Pathetic.
Nathan Ramirez
Shouldn't we take the pic in Halo 5: Forge so that it looks better?
Connor Garcia
Nah. One X can do 4k screenshots and I'm sure somebody has one
Ian Clark
No, user! Let's take a pic on the xXBox OneXx with HIGH QUALITY 4K pixels
Liam Nelson
Nobody has one, and even if they did, they aren't a photographer and have no understanding about the fundamentals of photography.
Xavier Harris
user, I want to be able to actually run Halo 5 when I'm in the pic.
Aiden Sanchez
well you arent the photographer, so... >not having a decent rig in the year 2018
Xavier Cox
Hectorlo has one nigger :)
Someone message him and ask if he'll take the screens for us in an hour nigger :)
Jackson Hill
I use a laptop so I can shitpost on the go
Owen Parker
Stop posting nigger :)
Brayden Mitchell
don't call me a nigger don't call me a retard don't call me a bitch I have a name it sounds like every other name, but it is mine please don't neglect to use it but also don't wear it out of use
Andrew Baker
What's your name then, son?
Noah Brown
Again, I apologise. I really and truly don't mean to offend, nigger :)
Someone really should message Hector and see if he's available, we need the highest quality screencaps we can get, nigger :)
Levi Myers
I can't tell you. She would never forgive me[\spoiler].
Alexander Harris
So when the clocks go back you put them forward? Gotcha. 'Tard.
Elijah Lee
ENOUGH
Gabriel Adams
>have no understanding about the fundamentals of photography. How the fuck do you know? Tracked down each user and checked out their school courses and hobbies?
Fucking retard.
Also >No one has one At least 3 /hg/ anons have one. Fuck off.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
I don't change mine, but I'm lazy so eh.
Jack Lee
>no understanding about the fundamentals of photography. As if you do.
Jose Edwards
moose on scene
Ian Smith
Noice, Frogspeak
Sebastian Rodriguez
What do you mean? In fall, you set the clocks BACK an hour. For instance it would go from 11pm to 10pm.
In spring, you set them FORWARD and hour. So from 10pm back to 11pm.
Kevin Howard
>tfw some places in arizona don't put up with this faggotry
ree
Evan Adams
Yes that is correct. But the user I quoted said that by the time for the photo going from 5pm to 6pm, that that was the photo being pushed FORWARD, not BACK. So by that logic, when it's time to set your clocks back, he sets them forward.
Tyler Campbell
Thus the photo was moved forward from 5pm to 6pm
Mason Mitchell
The photo is not being pushed forward, because if it were, it would be EARLIER EARLY=FORWARD LATER=BACKWARD TIME COMES TOWARDS YOU, NOT AWAY FROM YOU sorry I have chromatic abberation
Luis Bailey
See This
Matthew Watson
Nah man when I think of something being moved forward that means it's getting farther from me. If it's pulled back it here closer. I don't know what you're on about
Lincoln Martin
Imagine you are in a kiosk at a bank, and there is a line of people who want to make transactions. The line is coming towards you. If you need more time with a certain client, you don't say "I'm pushing the rest of them forward" You say "I'm holding the rest of them back"
Eli Ward
Not him, but moved up always means earlier.
Joshua Wright
If I'm in a line the line isn't coming to me, I'm moving with it
Leo Wilson
You are not a flash in time. You mean something. Gather your destiny and stop letting life HAPPEN to you, and rather start making life for yourself. Stop living passively. You can do stuff. You are God. Defy who you need to.
What? Let me clarify. I'm not the immobile teller at the bank. I don't stay in place. I'm part of the line, always going forward. Therefore if something is going to happen later instead of sooner, it is moved ahead.
David Ward
YOU ARE NOT IN LINE. YOU ARE BEHIND THE DESK. Imagine trying to rationalize this in the context of time. Are you a part of time? NO, you fucking retard. Why would you ever think you were in the line?
Grayson Nelson
>user is the physical personification of time and not the person in the moment Makes me think.
Joshua Nguyen
I'm not NOT a part of time
Owen Carter
this guy is dog poop megalul
Wyatt Miller
I'm a raft going down a stream
Adrian Wilson
>You are not a part of time Ok try to imagine yourself without time
Couldn't work because you require time to exist. It's because of time that you are shaped, grown, and learn
Aiden Phillips
Even with this analogy, If something is going to happen later rather than sooner, it is not closer to you. it is further.
Jackson Thompson
I exist but I have no issue with sharing or even handing over the master control keys
Levi Cox
The word choice was "forward".
Aiden Ross
And if I am the teller facing the line, the later customers will be further forward than the sooner customers.
