About me

I do 3D art and work in the modding scene for various games.

Hobbies & interests

Mostly space games; Elite, Stellaris, COADE, Kerbal, etc.

Since you placed the Order of battle (Viery, Reach) article in a protected status. Can you fix the errors concerning the 12th Marine Division, the 34th Infantry Division, and the 124th Infantry Division (Mechanized)?

The units are actually: 34th Infantry Division — (INF 34 XX) 4th Brigade — (INF 34 X 4) 14th Brigade — (INF 34 X 14) 581st Brigade — (INF 34 X 581) 594th Brigade — (INF 34 X 594) 554th Battalion — (INF 34 || 554) 1337th Battalion — (INF 34 || 1337)

124th Infantry Division (Mechanized) — (MCH 124 XX) 1st Brigade — (MCH 124 X 1) 6th Brigade — (MCH 124 X 6) 13th Brigade — (AMCH 124 X 13) 47th Brigade — (MCH 124 X 47) 127th Battalion — (AMCH 124 || 127) 501st Battalion — (MCH 124 || 501)

12th Marine Division — (MAR XX 12) 1st Brigade, 12th Marines — (MAR X 1/12) 3rd Brigade, 12th Marines — (MAR X 3/12) 4th Brigade, 12th Marines — (MAR X 4/12) 5th Brigade, 12th Marines — (MAR X 5/12) 1st Battalion, 12th Marines — (MAR || 1/12) 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines — (MAR || 3/12)

This accurately reflects the map according to page 57 of the Halo Encyclopedia (2022). Whoever made this list assigned all brigades (X) on the map as regiments (|||) for some reason.

The calculation for the number of Service Members is incorrect. There would actually be 7,980 Soldiers in the 8th Armored Brigade, 37,800 Soldiers in the 34th Infantry Division, 37,800 Soldiers in the 124th Infantry Division (Mechanized), and 37,800 Marines in the 12th Marine Division. Creating a total of 83,580 Soldiers and 37,800 Marines present if all units are at the normal strength listed on page 57 of the Halo Encyclopedia (2022). The ODST count was calculated correctly at 3,600 ODSTs.

-Thank You

Sure thing, here are the Skull menu screenshots (H3ODST:Campaign, H3ODST:Firefight, HR, and H4), you're welcome; sadly for Halo 3, because not every skull I have unlocked—I didn't screenshot it. The emulator isn't always perfect, like I realized the Gamma isn't accurate and of course, Theater doesn't always work for some reason, but at least they look high-quality for accurate resolution and are not blurry. I'm excited for Alexis' SVG button images, there might be some images she misses because I know there's an official description showing an image of Left Analog (← or →). I found Halo 4 skull images from the Xbox 360 version (https://imgur.com/a/yAlMHIG/), and the skull is what the image skulls would look like. Should I upload them to the site? the image files are TIF after extracting? I have never ripped files with this software before.

Hey there man, following up from the Discord conversation.

I understand the concern about people using Halopedia to push real-world causes, and I have no issue with the content being scrutinized more carefully for that reason. However, I don't think my personal motivation should determine whether canonically relevant material is included.

I've been trying to get this material onto the page since 2021, so this isn't something I suddenly joined the site to advocate for. More importantly, I've now provided Halo-specific evidence that goes beyond incidental religious naming, particularly the explicit reference to Captain Halima Ascot's Hindu background. You agreed in Discord that this satisfies your stated minimum bar of an example of people actively adhering to the belief.

I also want to address the comment about me having a "real-world investment" in this. Whether I have a personal interest in the subject is ultimately irrelevant to whether the material meets Halopedia's inclusion criteria. If the evidence meets those criteria, I don't think my motivation should be a basis for excluding it.

As for my editing history, the fact that I haven't made many edits to Halopedia doesn't make the evidence I've provided any less valid. I found an old contribution of mine, noticed that the material had been removed, and revisited the issue several years later. The fact that I've continued to make the same case since 2021 seems more like evidence that this is an old contribution I'm revisiting than an attempt to use Halopedia to promote something in the real world.

If the material meets the same inclusion criterion as the other religions on the page, I'd appreciate it being evaluated on that basis rather than on assumptions about my personal motivation.

I used Whispered Truth as the "baseline" and modified it from there, so I was just following the formatting it provided.

Thought I had. Sorry!
