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.
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.
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.
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.
Why are you expecting an F-150 to have high towing capacity? It's the smallest "full size" pickup Ford sells. ICE or EV, the frame, brakes and suspension isn't designed for high towing.
EV is torquey as hell, but I thought the main complaint about the Lighting was the towing range, which again, if you're doing real towing on the regular, you should get something a little bigger, if for no other reason then the safety of other people on the road.
And honestly, I think Ford could have saved the Lighting lineup by offering a generator unit that could sit in the bed and keep the batteries charged for long hauls. A sort of adhoc Edison Motors style hybrid.
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.
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.
