IDK wether everyone got that or if my mother watched a bunch of covid videos on my profile, but I’m bombarded with depressing news every time I want to relax watching silly videos.
I’m now watching a bunch of random stuff just to “trick” YouTube's algorithm into removing the covid section.

A blue whale's penis is longer than a human being – 10 feet (3 meters).
The tortoise penis is a large disgusting pulsating bulb when “erect”. Don’t Google it (I know you will).
I’m not sure these facts are happy, but I find them amusing.

Games usually fail hard when it comes to comedy and storytelling as a whole. If you removed the button-pushing no one would watch it.

Are you a young person by any chance?

I don't like the pacing and the stats did not make sense.
Then I played Borderlands 2 with my friends, the dialogue muted and giving zero fucks about anything (except guns and skills). And I realized it's a pretty fun game. Tried single player again: still sucks.

I'm usually not patient enough for RPG, but after playing Path of Exile this game seems the simplest, most relaxing thing in the world. All the friendly and emotional interactions really make me feel less alone. This game is really heartwarming once you get in the mood.
I'm 12 hours in already.
The combat is nice, but frequently confusing and for the wrong reasons. Sometimes I literally cannot distinguish my character on the screen because there's too much going on, and combats under heavy vegetation are a guarantee to be covered trees.
It's also a load fest! One must play this game with a smartphone handy because you will stare at the screen motionless for long minutes. I even have a PS4 Pro, but the issue here is reading times. I wish I had an SSD.
The car travels are so boring and uneventful that negate all the advantages of an open-world.
And why does every little thing requires at least 3 seconds to happen? To eat something there is: 1 second of black screen, one beautiful (and totally unnecessary) image of what I ate, one random comment about the food, one beautiful screen showing all the stats that we gained (which requires confirmation), 1 fade to black, 1 fade back to characters? FUCK! Are Japanese like the most patient people in the world? The word "bureaucratic" comes to mind.
Still liking it for now. Chocobos make a lot of difference.

From a logical point of view, this is actually a false dilemma. There are more options than reopening everything or keeping everything shut down. How about making a case by case analysis, reopening only selected factories of the most essential sectors? You know, those that would cause more harm closed than open?

mrbig Link ParentThat'd be pretty cool but I'd rather live :P The can is still my closet. But you gave me an idea: I think I'll just drop it off at the Fire Department. They must know what to do.It'll make a really cool fireball, probably ten feet high. Make sure there's no dry grass or trees nearby.

Many people that engage in political discussions are deeply entrenched in a particular world view. They unconsciously favor information that confirm this world view, and consider anything that goes against it as a manifestation of bias. The only opinions that are not biased are the ones that agree with them.
In other words, politics is an emotionally charged subject that is frequently discussed by people that fails to acknowledge their own emotions.
I don’t s think any forum mechanics can solve this problem.
