I wonder if :melon-musk: will have an extra bad sundowning day in his midlife crisis and announce something actually named Torment Nexus to get ahead of the curve.

    And I’m still shocked there isn’t something in the tech world called HAL

    yeah the lack of a Hal 9000 voice assistant is shocking to me, if Halo 5 hadn't been so hamfisted about the Cortana heel turn we would've gotten basically the same thing in the MS voice assistant but they did :shrug-outta-hecks:

      I stopped caring about the Halo series right around the time the narrative of the games tried to make you horny for Cortana WHILE she was also trying to kill/corrupt/whatever Master Chief. Was there a heel turn since then? I really hate Blizzard-style committee-designed "corrupt sexy evil" characters.

          I guess Blizzardesque storywriting is all sexual pathology, theirs specifically. "The hot female is also bad and needs to be subjugated and 'cured' somehow, bucko!" :jordan-eboy-peterson:
