Well, the Gravemind is definitely not dead as it’s mind resides in either the Domain or an adjacent dimension. Hell, the Flood aren’t even sterilized from known infection locations. But like you said, the factions all have a clear purpose. Even the Flood in Halo 1, before the Gravemind was even introduced, were working towards a goal though consuming the minds of the species it encountered and fixing the Covenant ship. Hearing Cortana say that the Flood were fixing that ship was chilling. Zombies repairing an FLT capable spacecraft?!

A lot of my disappointment in 5 was how irrelevant and misleading the advertisement was. Nothing even remotely similar to this happens in the game. Hunt the Truth had so much better writing then 5 did. Let those people write a spinoff game.

Last Man Standing? I accidentally caught a bit of that. Tim Allen was a grandparent complaining that his kids weren’t allowing him to brainwash his grandkids. About the most boomer coded shit I’ve ever seen.

Now that I think about it, I never really liked the episode of Home Improvement where they made environmentalists into strawmen and punching bags.

edit: oh god, he made another one.

That’s another debate, but if a company ever closed and no one claimed the IP, it could be released early.

Halo 4 was mostly good, especially the story, but they listened too closely to the complainers and scrapped the story line. They haven’t been able to commit to villain. Didact? Killed off at the end of 4, and then resurrected and killed off in a comic. Jul 'Mdama? Introduced and explored in Spartan Ops and books/comics. Killed off in the beginning of Halo 5. Cortana? Resurrected/Introduced as a villain in Halo 5 and killed off between 5 and 6(Infinite). Atriox? Introduced in Halo Wars 2 “killed off” between the opening cutscene of Halo 6 and the first level. Escharum(Atriox lite), Introduced in 6 and killed off in 6. Harbinger? Introduced in 6 and killed off in 6. But wait, Atriox isn’t really dead and he’s totally going to come back in Halo 7 and be a long term villain. For real this time.

I still kinda want Microsoft to by Activision Blizzard, but not for altruistic reasons.

You should only be granted copyright protections if you can guarantee the copyrighted material can become public domain after the time period ends. This would involve giving the government a copy of all source code and assets to preserve securely. This should be a flat policy for all copyrighted material, so 3rd party involvement wouldn’t complicate things.

These are not livable facilities. They’re chainlink fence pens under neither carnival tents.

Could have been a case of two people having the same first name and the one person wanted to clarify.

Every job deserves a living wage and the government should be providing healthcare. Agriculture needing to be substituted by undocumented workers is a sign of deeper issues with the economic system.

Have you talked to the average American about agriculture? They would starve themselves in a few months.

Also, you would have to come up with rules on who grows what and how seed savings would work. You need to keep things that can cross pollinate away from each other.

Now you know the point of Leviticus 19:19 and Deuteronomy 22:9.

Wings of Redemption makes it work… ok. He doesn’t make it work at all.

Doesn’t the coal industry control your government? And remind me where Rupert Murdoch came from.

If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.

uh, I’m pretty sure that’s a factor to how America got to the way it is.

Ever try finding the websites of old mods? Each project having it’s own site just means it will be quietly lost when you aren’t looking. You need a system when each project hosts a mirror other projects. Storage is cheap and the bandwidth demand for old mods will be minimum by then.

They’re looking for simple answers to complex questions. Capitalism being bad is obvious, but they then make the simple jump to say the opposite of capitalism must be good. Anyone who disagrees is simply subject of “western propaganda” or just racist and they can discard any counter point.

You make one Daikatana and nobody will let you down for it.

I mean, where did you think carrot seeds came from?

I mean, I got the info about other people being weird around Bill Nye from a fan who went to one of his talks. According to her, lot of people who asked questions were asking him questions they were hyper specific to their chosen field that Nye would have no way of knowing unless that was the field he was working in. His specific field is education and science commutation. Without preparation, he’s only going to be able to answer in depth questions in that field.

I had to look up the sexual harassment stuff. That’s from 2019 and it was either cleared or never substantiated.

Even if Tyson is a bit of a lolcow on twitter, there are far worse things to be.

I’m just really suspicious of how popular it is to discredit science communicators while anti-intellectualism is so pervasive in society. It’s far easier to tear something down then it is to build something.

Are they hoping a hurricane moves through their shoddily built camp and kills everyone so they have plausible deniability? Like what almost happened during Hurricane Katrina?

I’ve also heard that he gets a lot of weird people who are overly attached to the idea of him getting their fantasies crushed when they meet him. Realize that a lot of those “I met him and he was rude” people might not be completely honest about their encounters. Think along the lines of Paris Syndrome, but for a person.
