Today’s game is Halo. I actually meant to get some proper gameplay screenshots today, but today was the day I did the “Group Photos” photo shoot I had wanted to do. And it actually took way longer than I had expected. It was like wrangling cats.
I took away their ability to kill each other, and you’d think that would stop them from finding joy in attacking each other. But I think my friends started finding more joy in being able to pummel each other without killing each other. I can’t say I didn’t find it funny though. Even after an hour, seeing one of them try and pummel the other was funny.
One of their favorite tricks they discovered was being able to toss a grav lift into the vehicle I had placed down as set dressing and flipped it over and over in the air. I guess a vehicle suspended by a grav lift doesn’t eject you because one of my friends was in the warthog at the time and was getting spun around and around.
Us messing around did produce some photos I like though. This is one of my “ReShade edits”. That being one with some ReShade filters to make some nice effects like Depth of Field and such, And I got this one I’m a fan of. I got it while one of my friends were trying to blast us with a Spartan Laser while I was trying to get a photo of us all together on the big fan on Last Resort.
Anyways, since this is what I’ve seent the last few hours doing, not only just wrangling my friends into position, but also taking the photos and editing the ReShade versions, I didn’t play much of anything else. So I guess today is more of a exercise in personal art rather than me discussing the game. Still. I suppose my friends, being part of the playerbase, are part of the game.

Damn I wish I still had friends, but the effort of maintaining friendships in my 30s is too mentally draining. Still, I miss having moments like this with the bros.
