Oof, I couldn’t get through the Pantheons, they’re just nuts.

I have recently finished Hollow Knight

Did you finish it finish it? Have you battled The Radiance? (9000 times lol)

Same old same old. I only have a Switch, so mostly MarioKart while my bones disintegrate waiting for Silksong and Hades II.

If anyone has any metroidvania rec’s, I’m all ears. Already played both Ori games, HK, HAAK, Unbound. Haven’t found much else in the Nintendo Shop that appeals to me.

I’m aware of the limitations I’m subjecting myself to, but I’d far rather live with them than live without smell, taste, clear lungs, or clear cognition.

In Canada, mask behaviours depend on the area. I think the larger cities are generally better in terms of people wearing masks and people leaving you alone for it.

I haven’t gotten any comments my small prairie town, but it’s an everyone-knows-someone-who-knows-you type of place. I think I’ve seen one other person wearing a mask in the past several months, but people generally know who I am, that I’m immunocompromised, and nobody says anything to me about it. That being said, I don’t really go out much and literally never go anywhere indoors without a fit tested N95 or better (with the one exception of my dentist, who still has a number of precautions in place).

But there’s a small city a half hour away where I’d legitimately fear being physically assaulted just for wearing a mask and minding my own business. It’s basically a 10 square mile slice of 'murica, rednecks and trumpsters included.

There are so many vectors for infection that it is kinda silly to try.

This statement, in and of itself, is silly. That’s like giving up on washing your hands and sterilizing equipment because it’s just too much effort.

Unless you’re frequently digging for gold with unwashed hands, SARS-COV-2 transmission enormously favours the airborne vector.

That’s the reason I don’t enter a hospital without my fit-tested N99.

1.4 of 38-odd million is absolutely not rare, it’s nearly 1 in 50. The US figures are even worse. For something to be considered medically rare, it needs to be at most 1 in 10,000.

I had to visit the ER a few weeks ago. Aside from me, there were two or three other people in masks, and they were patients.

I just don’t understand it. Medical professionals should know better, but somehow don’t??
