Egotism often translates to charisma and confidence, but falls apart eventually.

Also, a reminder, the “Con” in con-artist is short for confidence.

17 minutes.

But in short, PirateSoftware had a fall from grace for narcissism and with his previous opposition to the petition, became a “villain” to unite against.

Shows how much I care about the output of either company.

These people think all compassion and “wokeness” is preformative because everything in their lives is preformative.

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.

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 buy 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.

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

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.

Keep pushing. There are probably people using VPNs to sign the petition and those will get purged. Either from idiots who don’t know better or AAA studios trying to get people to stop now that it’s reached the goal. This is true for both the UK and EU petitions.

Therapy just wants you to be back as a member of society. I don’t like society. It just sees me as a part of the economic machine. A stone to be squeezed for blood.

And the healthcare Congress provides.

Because Israel validates their ethnostate ideas.

It’s probably a reference to that article.

You need to find a reviewer who focuses on indie you jive with. They’re funnel points for these sorts of things.

I like boomershooters, so Civvie11 and MandaloreGaming are my gotos.

There’s no active white genocide, but there have been groups wanting to push for it. Luckily, that’s illegal and they seem to crack down on those people. It’s why this has been messy. It’s not hard to find footage of South Africans promoting white genocide, but rarely includes that fact that those people either get chased away or arrested.

Zimbabwe pushed out their white farmers, but instead of giving the land to capable black farmers, the government gave it to their friends and political allies. It did not end well.
