Round 1, Match 105 — Purism vs. Neon Noir

Purism was an art movement that emerged in France immediately after World War I, active from approximately 1918 to 1925, and led by the artist Amédée Ozenfant and the artist-architect Le Corbusier (Charles-Édouard Jeanneret). It began as a direct critique of later Cubism, which Ozenfant and Le Corbusier argued had become too decorative, personal, and irrational. In their manifesto Après le cubisme ("After Cubism"), they called for a return to an art of order, clarity, and precision. Purism was founded on a belief in a universal artistic language based on pure, simple geometric forms inspired by the functional elegance of machines. Artists depicted everyday objects like bottles, glasses, and guitars, not to fragment them as the Cubists did, but to distill them into their essential, recognizable shapes. The style is characterized by clean outlines, balanced compositions, and a subdued palette of flat colors. While the movement was short-lived in painting, its principles became foundational to Le Corbusier's influential architectural theories and the broader development of the International Typographic Style.

Neon Noir is an aesthetic that first emerged out of the Neo-Noir film genre during the 1980s. It creates a dreamlike atmosphere with stylized visuals with a vibrant saturation, neon text, and an overall feeling of existential isolation. Neon Noir is heavily associated with Synthwave, with most Neon Noir media incorporating it to emphasize the loneliness. Neon Noir combines the dark and mysterious elements of Noir films with a vibrant and futuristic aesthetic akin to neon lights. It has a strong focus on dark scenery that is contrasted by the the vivid and surreal glow of neon sights in the nightlife of cities. Characters are often depicted as only dark silhouettes against a neon-lit backdrop with fog or smoke creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The scenes are sometimes accompanied by rain, which reflects the neon lights and intensifies the contrast between the wet, reflective surfaces and the darkness of the night.

PURISTS-Head Doctor Chi

Honestly, today was just another breaking point and a reminder why I don’t stay in these Halo “communities” on Discord and shit.

Left SGTBlairTV’s and Vadam’s servers because I’m so fucking tired of these purists who think they know everything and worry the fuck out whenever Halo Studios makes mistakes. Like I get it: you want the brand and franchise to succeed. But chill the fuck out everytime they make small mistakes consistently; no company is perfect.

And do not give me that fucking shit that “Oh so you want to enjoy mediocre and slop?” Nononono you fucking retard. I MEAN EVERY COMPANY MAKES MISTAKES. NEWS FLASH YOU FUCKING RETARDS. EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES. Get. Used. To. It.

Even Valve in their entire career made “mistakes” and shit, yet people still give them credit for being Valve. Or FromSoftware made the biggest mistake by selling the Bloodborne IP to Sony.

The point is… I fucking hate Halo purists and perfectionists. Like just enjoy life and don’t worry okay? Pray and pray and pray for the devs and the entire future to get well. Let God take care of everything or the company. Do not armchair for devs. That will make you look like a pretentious asshole.

I swear we keep getting dumber by the day and never learn our mistakes. I feel the need to rant/vent because this shit is so fucking tiring and I’m done with everybody’s bullshit. The entire Halo community isn’t shit, but the other 60% is.
