Although, I realize something. I'm not quite out of the clear yet. I have a cold, and my throat is damaged, enough to bleed. That could become infected, and this cold could turn into a respetory infection. And that would be bad for my already shitty lungs.

THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY MOONBABY'S HEAD.

That should cover it.

Thank jeebus you're alright... I've funnily enough had a similar issue, the acid in my stomach is actually more volatile than normal. When I'm sick, unless I have enough milk to quell the acid, throwing up causes me to cough up blood.

Cause who the fuck needs to speak right? Speaking with vocals is so last century.

But fucking really, this hurts like shit. I can't even breathe nicely.

Now I have to wonder who gave me this fucking cold in the first place.

This is going to be my source of power for the next few weeks.

You've got to find a way to zone out. Something that will immerse you completely.

There is a point however, that comes sooner or later, when you've stayed up for long enough that you no longer feel the need to sleep. If you can reach that point, you;ll be okay. But getting there is the challenge.

I can't really help you, because when I can't sleep, I either do one of two things.

I jog around my town at night until I burn out and I force myself to sleep from exhaustion.

Or I write. Night is often the best time  for me to write a story, and so I have no trouble staying up all night and working on my projects.

But that's all I got.

For a villain this great, powerful and majestic as the Didact I don't think he is dead just yet. Maybe heavily injured and weak but I think his combat suit protected him for the most part.

The Didact will return. Stronger than ever.

Also a contribution:

I have to give it to 343 and the writers of the comic though. Chief is, without a doubt, one of the most respectable gaming characters I've had the pleasure to learn about and spend time with from a story standpoint.

I think it would be neat. You could refer to the couple as a pair. It'd work well especially if they got along together.

My spider bros made babies.

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY NUKING EVERYBODY OFF IN THE COMICS.

THIS IS WHAT SPOPS WAS FOR GUYS.

The thing I do appreciate is that 343i isn't afraid of actually having shit happen. No stagnation. It's game of thrones up in this bitch.

Yeah but when the next game rolls out nobody's going to know what the fuck happened between then and now.

The plot arcs are nice in that they actually resolve themselves while introducing plot seeds. Didact was gone at the end of Halo 4, he's still gone now.

But the point is, they could have practically made a game out of all this. Moonbaby, Arby, and Hood in negotiations with a UNSC traitor being dammicky trying to fuck everything up. Capitalist Elites on underworld-type Covenant stations. Infinity getting it's clock cleaned out. The Spirit of Fire being rediscovered with a missing crew. Chief and Blue team fighting on the third Halo against Didact.

You could make an entire campaign out of all these plot points, new levels, new options, potential for a lot of things. And it would keep the simpler folks updated on things through 343's signature sexy CGI cutscenes. One of the complaints with 4 was that it delved deep into the lore but never really explained it all to the people who couldn't or didn't follow the novels, and were left scratching their heads.

Meta, you've asked perhaps the scariest question known to modern society today. And I'll answer it. Are you ready for some spooky fucking shit?

Spoiler

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Spoiler

Fucking really now, you'll have a heart attack.

Spoiler

Why do I write? Why do I draw? Why does my mother like to care for her garden? Why does her friend bake? Why does my sister's husband do pottery?

The very simple answer is, because we all like to. It's something that brings us joy, gives us purpose and fun, and keeps our respective minds in shape with the task or idea at hand.

In a society where Humans don't need to work, they'd have to figure out how to do something that's been lost in modern society. How to lead a life that you enjoy, doing what you want to do, when you want to do it, and how you want to do it.

I'm asking for concretes, not an abstract. Saying people would need to figure out how to lead a life you enjoy is a tautology.

People can't tend to their garden, write or bake for every waking hour. I'm asking if I) we have the capacity to fill our time besides employment II) what sort of social programmes could arise, if they would arise, from this paradigm and III) what are the political implications of that?

I wouldn't be surprised if people became more social as a result. Sports, interactions, people mingling. There'd likely be a wide sense of adventure that would spread through people. You don't have to work anymore, so why not do what you've always wanted? Why not travel the world, or go skydiving, that sort of stuff. I like to focus a lot on my writing. But you are right. I can't do it all day. But for a good chunk of time, I can. In the spots of downtime that I do have, I do other things.

Play games with folks on xbox, find things to tinker and fix, read, go outside and enjoy the weather and keep in shape. That sort of stuff.

No doubt, there would still be responsabilities to uphold, and people might actually begin to start thinking in a more independant manner. Why not make my house look better? Why not fix something instead of throwing it out in the trash? Why not make something? Why not study something they were always interested in?

In general, people would likely become more social, more inquisitive to the world around them, and in some sense, more independant. Learning would have the potential to flourish, as with all these people seeking new things, you'd need facilities to accomodate them all.

I can answer the social aspect, but not the political. As far as I'm concerned all this political stuff doesn't exist already, so with a happy society like that Governments would quickly weaken in the sense that they would suddenly have to manage a lot less.

Fucking home made cinnamon buns. You put a little bit of chocolate on them too for good measure.
