@nikicaga I think as a critique of the system, one which claims meritocracy and that wealth is broadly earned, they’re equally valid critiques of the form of capitalism we have now
One moral decay, the other a decay of competence
@FunkierTransfem@PatrickTmoney@ExodusPrimal You could dismiss the John 1:17 thing, but to do so in the face of literally every other religious allegory and overture is ludicrous
I likely read FoR before you were even cognisant kid, don’t accuse me of being a larper
@FunkierTransfem@PatrickTmoney@ExodusPrimal The Flood.
The Covenant.
They were referred to as theocratic in Fall of Reach.
You can’t say religion wasn’t an aspect when it clearly was from the inception of the franchise.
@wjprescott@sueatcraven It was 25 years
There’s a certain point it’s your own damned fault for taking no curiosity in the outside world
In which case, why would you even expect or understand a pension?
@nickisafraud@JAHeale@mjrsumption If you squint
The problem is wages weren’t what grads were told when they were at school, and that they were all 16/17/18 when they made that decision.
This was communicated 25 years in advance.
@cgdav135 Nothing for defence, housing investment, jobs for the young people, working out how to maintain a work force with AI
But plenty for women that were warned 25 years in advance about a change in pension age to bring them to parity with men 🙃
@PatrickTmoney@FunkierTransfem@ExodusPrimal@Halo I realised the flood after hitting post
John 1:17
The obsession with 7’s, the number of angels
It’s always been an incredibly religion heavy game, it sparked my interest in religion as a topic
@idontwa86202030@alexmuellerfdp In fairness, this is more or less what the yanks do for development with multiple countries, could be benefits to having different fighter options at the end of the day
Nevermind that historically you’ve always had mixes, think hurricane/spitfire/mosquito/P-51 for examples
@FunkierTransfem@ExodusPrimal@Halo Eh, it always was there
Fall of reach I think hints at it, though I read that book many moons ago, and it’s hinted at in 1 too
@DansTrainRoom@jalkaru@notforredlights Often in non-negative context historically; ie. Groomed to lead a company, be a family air, to learn a certain trade etc
Over the decades and centuries it’s come to generally only be used negatively
@exfatloss@ThaBeefGames@revenant_MMXX It isn’t, it’s one of the most consistently fun across generations
1, 2, 3, ODST reach all have fun campaign and MP, 4 good campaign, 5 great multiplayer, infinite was imo a bit mediocre in both
This isn’t awful for a 25 year franchise
