[@LordDanielG]

@@dagobahstudios3662 The final mission always messes up the run. They made the final boss ridiculously overpowered on the hardest difficulty.

[@arandomgamer9317]

@@LordDanielGthe boss isn’t that overpowered, you just are underprepared Everything that comes earlier drains your resources since you get less than normal (because why should a harder difficulty do anything but lower the resources you get) so you spend so much more on earlier sections, resorting to you being near empty at the end The only consistent way to win is to stock up healing items and spam melee attacks at the boss, since he only uses his slow attack when you are close to him, which just happens to be slow enough for a medkit to be used Such a dumb fight, but I’m glad the dlc fixed the issues with difficulty

Halo Legendary ending cutscene energy

[@DizzyIM]

The bombs in the distance grew deafening, but in Bert's final moments all he heard was Ernie's wheezing laughter. Bert knew it would be okay, the joy of his best friend was everything he could ask for as the end envoloped them.

[@sheevhernandez3869]

The bombs ended millions of civilians, animals, new families that just started their new lives, the homeless as they freak out but some decided to embrace the last moments of life as they shared one final hug with anyone near as some pushed them and ran while some did hugged them back as the epicenter of the blast killed the first hundreds of thousands of unfortunate souls. Those who weren't burned that fast outside the center of the bomb had second and third degree burns as they tried to move in such agony. Many who have died, they were now free from their mortal bodies as they passed into the afterlife. Ernie and Bert died as they hugged it out; knowing it was the end as Russia sent the bombs to major cities in America to cripple their power, but Ernie and Bert just expected the end as the best of friends despite their differences sometimes. Many centuries later, the world begins to heal as most of the population have died due to Russia and America's pride and stubbornness on who will be the next Great Britain of the century. The few who did survive were lucky living in Peru or places where not many countries cared about. They began to rebuild after billions of civilians and many animals died too. One small child went to the same studio that Ernie and Bert were in all those centuries ago. He found the two holding each other as they hugged it out as the nuclear blast ripped them alert. The little boy found a piece of paper that was important, it was a letter that Ernie had if the negotiations were peaceful instead of full on destruction. "My dearest Bert, it has come to my decision that I always saw you as more than a friend, you were a brother i never really had. Your optimism made things better even if I wasn't always cheerful. I am glad I had you as a roommate for many years, however, I wished we could have been adopted or even blood. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. I will always cherish each moment with you. Love, Ernie" The little boy cried his eyes out knowing even after all the darkness and destruction by the corrupt politics and leaders that always hated the population with such hate, there was still always love even in odd places. He took the note and decided to spread such positive thoughts as the new generations of people to come to not be the ones from the past and keep going through life. (Yeah I know this is very very long but I had to)🥲😅

The most heartbreaking part of this is that we all saw the punchline coming, but we wanted it anyway. Kind of like how when we hear the sirens announcing the bombs, there's a small, morbid part of us that just wants to get it over with. Funny how two things as different as bad jokes and death somehow share that characteristic.

[@Drip_Wooper]

And despite always hating Berts stupid jokes, I visualize in the end, Bert actually smiled at Enie's final joke, was it because it was funny how Enie still cracked a joke despite the situation? Or was it the nostalgic feeling, and the knowledge that it would the last time he would get to hear Enie's idiot puns? Bert didnt knew but he could feel for the first time in 20 years his mouth forming in a little smile because of one of them Just before the shockwave hits

[@josephvictory9536]

Love this. One wonders what you would do at the end. Too many things to do that cant get done. Too many things to say that can't be said. To condense all of that into a moment. And then to take humor, and the ordinary. Rather than fear. Rather than despair. Humor because what else is left. So you choose the only meaningful thing. Trying to make your friend laugh one last time over the life of memories that bind you. One last meal, one last drink. It seems like men on facing the inevitability of certain death reckon with the peace they have lost in life by letting go. Enjoying that last taste of life. Good writing, taps into something.
