@pur3shade @mertz_candace Looks like it’s gonna be made to order now, preorders will be up non stop until 8/28 per the official account.

@ThatNerdMert Considering they’re uncommons it’s not even hard to pull either way. One Japanese booster box got me at least one of each if not 2, plus halves.

@Catscollecttcg I just wanna know what the 3 additional IRs are. 12 for Storm, but 14+Promo for Delta….

[A @Balaki117]

@PokeTCGAlerts Interested to know what the two additional IRs are

[A @Balaki117]

@Catscollecttcg The Secret rare/Ultra rare, not the Special Art Rare, but yeah I did get one haha. All good though it happens. First time I went 0 for 3 on SARs at all from JP boxes which is bonkers but that’s the name of the game. Still cool to get my hands on this set. Thanks!!

[A @Balaki117]

@Catscollecttcg Had to come back to say I did get the Rayquaza secret rare so you did indeed try.

0 SARs tho in 3 boxes 😭

Onto the singles waiting game.

The answer is a balanced budget (or a spending/debt limitation) amendment to the Constitution. This will force Congress to act.

28 states have certified it under Article V. Just need a handful more.

The failure of DOGE in one sentence…

[JumperScape @JumperScape]

That last sentence here from Marcus is exactly what I wish more folks online would think like.

You don't have to absolutely hate or absolutely love anything. Just enjoy what you enjoy and if it's not your cup of tea, toss it and brew yourself up something new.

⭐️A new game update for #HaloCE is arriving next week, including multiple fixes and improvements.

🔧Update highlights:
• Improvements to Sgt. Johnson to prevent blocked mission progression.
• Jackals can now be staggered more reliably when targeting their hands and feet.
• Marines and Flood Marines will now fire their Assault Rifles when the Magnified Skull is activated.
• Players can now turn off Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain.
• Additional stability improvements across multiple platforms.

More details will be available in our full patch notes when the update releases.

Please Note: This update will invalidate mid-mission saved progress when downloaded. Your unlocked Missions and Rally Points will be retained.

If the father of Master Chief can share his criticisms (and joys) for the Halo franchise with this level of maturity, I’m not sure why everyone can’t.

[Marcus Lehto @game_fabricator]

Finished the fight on Heroic and honestly loved my playthrough of Halo Campaign Evolved. It was simultaneously a blast from my own past and fresh re-envisioning of the game I helped create.
Perfect, no. Fun, absolutely yes!

Now, for a couple of my beefs...

[Alex @Shyway]

Bro sees me sliding funny..

Drops the most ludicrous take:

“This is why multiplayer shooters are dead.”

And it’s a hit tweet ..go figure 🤷‍♂️

[🌿💚Basil➡️HaloFest💚🌿 @itsbasilbasil]

There’s a lot to criticize about the remake and the state of Halo in general, but it genuinely feels impossible to when every time someone is like “yeah because it’s woke DEI 343 slop” like okay some of us have actual criticisms

[ProphetOfTrvth @DoenathanJon]

I don't get it.

Gears of War E-Day manages to make changes to the standard formula of Gears and people like it.

But Halo fans whine about sprint EVERY FUCKING WEEK?!

[㊗ KΛKΛROT | 𝕏 @KAKAROTBCN]

Si la noticia es cierta, no tiene nada que ver con el éxito o el fracaso del juego. Lo repito: vender 1,5 millones de copias en una semana con un remake que SOLO trae la campaña de un juego de hace 25 años no son, en absoluto, malas cifras.

[Balde ☁️🟦🟧🪣 @BuckBalde]

Me parecem bons números pra 7 dias de lançamento (+5 do early)

1,5 milhão de vendas + valor agregado ao Game Pass (métrica vital para um 1p Xbox) + valor agregado à franquia

Não tem um orçamento tão alto e é um investimento pra Halo Studios aprender a Unreal

Sucesso rentável?

[Marcus Lehto @game_fabricator]

Been slowly playing through Campaign Evolved on Heroic (the diff we designed the game for 25 years ago).
Overall, I really love the upgrades - movement, cinematics, visuals - damn the lighting is brilliant.
Do I have gripes? A few, but they are taking a back seat to the fun.
