    Same, I've already put my ""CovidSafe"" (lol) ticket to good use in the 10 or so days since it was introduced. Went to three shows, capacity ranging from 1.500 to 20.000 people. No masks, distancing, or any measures at all once you're past the checkpoints and inside the venue. But everyone's free to be as careful as they want of course. I am not exactly tongue kissing strangers right now, still not even shaking hands in fact, but not really fearing for my own health anymore either, totally trust the vaccine will have my back until long after those antibodies wane. That seems to be more of an issue for those who were in higher risk groups to begin with, i.e., more important for them to stop the initial infection from spreading as they may have a harder time fighting symptomatic disease.

    Obviously don't feel like putting anyone else at any unnecessary risk because of my own behavior, so I've been making liberal use of rapid antigen tests at home before going anywhere these days (always ones approved by the Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products, for what it's worth).

    Think the autumn and winter could still get rough but nothing like it was before, and once we're through that for all intents and purposes the entire population will have been vaccinated and/or infected. For most of us that should mean lasting protection from a virus that by its nature mutates much slower than influenza. Kind of hope we don't go overboard with the boosters for the general population, although they certainly do make sense for certain demographics.

     

    literal twilight zone shit. so glad to have lived the last year in the south where things have been much normaler than most of the rest of the world. visiting seattle in april where 99% of people were wearing double masks outside was ?

    pretty much stopped wearing masks completely after memorial day. they tried to reimplement a mask policy after delta started to kick off but largely no one cares. i carry one to put on in the even it makes someone uncomfortable enough to say something but mask compliance seems to be like 60-70% in the city and drops off a cliff once you move out into the suburbs. eventually you guys will come to realize that this shit isn't going to end because it's not meant to end.

  2. just biked in to say i've been wearing the same mask i bought in poland in january of 2020 (when i thought this was actually scary watching chinese footage). never had a test. not jabbed. went to two soccer games at mercedes benz stadium and didn't wear a mask in the last week. not sick. not dead.

    just do what the good dr says:

    thx for the heads up joyrex.  Do you use Rakuten often?  Also I didn't realize the price of the Pro has gone down so much, that's good news.

    was on the fence about getting a pro but mostly played on pc lately. hard to justify jumping on a pro one year before ps5 when, by all accounts, it's going to be backwards compatible and have the same resolution/fps boosting power as a pro.

    I'm trying the Japanese ver. of Castlevania III

    had to use savestates on the last three levels but i beat it and immediately bought bloodstained. shame it plays really well but it looks awful. i take so many hits from not being able to differentiate enemy hitboxes and projectiles from the environment. maybe i'm just getting old

    Probably will end up as 4 games, 8 Blu Rays, and if they don't step it up, they are going to run the risk of having it on a legacy system (although the next PlayStation is already confirmed by Sony to be backwards-compatible with PS4 games). You would think once they have the majority of the art assets created from this game, the future installments will go faster since there won't be as much to create from scratch...

    except for it seems like they only have the assets for midgar. like every town will be a new set of assets with a completely different feel. i guess most of the time spent in the other cities is far less except than midgar but still... junon, costa del sol, cosmo canyon, rocket town, northern crater, etc...

    this game will have the complete edition by the time ps6 comes out (maybe).

    i'm hoping that the whole dual bluray thing is to accommodate the fact that this will basically be a ps4/ps5 release with the discs holding additional higher res textures that will be rendered on ps5 without actually making two separate versions of the game.

    That's pretty cool, I don't think I had played it since I last had it on PS2. Never had the knowledge to tinker with wii and xbox 360 stuff either but knew of a few friends who had done it.

    the gamestop employee totally gave me a "haha. i know why you buyin' lego indiana jones." it was $20 used i had 7 days to return it so i took it back as soon as i hacked my wii. ended up hacking my sisters wii for her and her kids too.

  7. endwar was way better than i expected it to be. i've been basically bored by every marvel movie except captain america 2 and the first iron man. usually fall asleep in them. as bloated and convoluted as it was, somehow managed to be damn near enjoyable. didn't fall asleep for a second. wouldn't've paid to see it though

  8. Hollow Knight is a weird one. i feel you either love it or you don't.

    i look at Hollow Knight and something about the visual style just instantly bores me. tried playing it for a bit too but the visual style was so aggressively boring and uninteresting to look at, that i could not stand playing it much at all for long sessions. it's just that bad, boring and generic looking. 

    yeah. i played it for about 45minutes and was completely underwhelmed by the art and atmosphere. felt good, but definitely didn't draw me in first play. and i love metroidvanias. beat the bloodstained 8bit prequel recently. that was fun. hoping the real game is decent but not holding my breath

    able to elaborate on the questionable experience with epic? 

    the whole spyware claims are all very confusing to me, especially since it all seems to be sourced from someone on reddit making claims and none of what they're talking about makes much sense to me (me not being tech savvy literate). 

    The fact that I've had at least three login attempts from unknown parties to my Epic account last year might have something to do with it (before I uninstalled the game launcher). Never had that problem with Steam, which I've used since its debut in 2001.

     

     

    damn. ye fuck that, fair enough!

     

    i constantly get emails about attempts on my epic account. luckily i've never put any financial data in it as i've only accessed free stuff (some buds wanted me to play fortnite for a bit) and i've added the free games they're offering now from their store to my digitally hoarded archive. for me as a user it offers me nothing (other than free stuff). i can see the appeal to developers. can only hope it does indeed force valve to get off their ass (they've already pushed a number of ui updates and a another big one on the horizon).

  10. the biggest shock was seeing michael caine rock out to a weird edit of Omgyjya-Switch7. 

    agreed.

     

    oh i went and saw the beach bum. was terrible. the best part was zac efron wearing jncos. sorry i spoiled it for you but now you can save $10 and an hour and a half
