I don’t know that the mask is actually rated N95. Like I said, we bought them for Beijing’s smog.  And even then, I’m not sure about small particles, but I do know on bad days if you weren’t wearing them you could feel the grit from the air in your teeth.  While I’m sure there’s pollution from factories mixed in, I…

It’s extremely unlikely that I have the virus*. There have been under 400 confirmed cases in my county (with a population around 350,000), and nearly half of them have been either people staying in nursing homes or nursing home employees. I’m not sick, no one in my household is sick, and we’ve been sheltering at home…

My in-laws live in Beijing, and long before the COVID-19 outbreak we got masks because some days you’d need it to protect from the smog there.  We’d been using them since our state mandated that we wear masks in public, but I guess I’ll have to start looking for new ones.

I’m not a racist or sexist... so I obviously have no problem with them giving different gender options (or racial ones in future games).

Honestly, at this point I care less about the setting and more about the mechanics.  I would kill for another game like Origins or Odyssey, so I’m hoping they’re not trying to reinvent the wheel again.

I hated Unity, but I liked Syndicate.  Then they kind of dumped the old AC gameplay and reinvented the wheel for Origins and Odyssey, and they’re two of my all-time favorite games.  They’re so good I can’t even go back and play the older AC games anymore.

Hard pass for me. I hate doing chores, and will frequently put them off until wherever I’m ignoring gets bad enough that it bothers me. There last thing I want in my escapism is more chores.

This list is pretty close to what I’d come up with.  I think the only think I’d do differently is swap Mario Kart 7 and Double Dash.

My dad had an Odyssey 2. The very first video game I can remember playing (at the tender agree of three) was Attack of the Timelords, which has amazing early ‘80s cover art.

I bought a new laptop.

This list is missing Final Fantasy IV, which must be a mistake because it’s better than every game on this list.

Sure you can...

I know, opinions are subjective and all, but I’m having a hard time remembering the last time I came across an opinion this bad.

I was about to post the exact same thing. I got one of those Eneloop packs that come in the blue storage case. It’s got enough batteries that I’ve got them in two Xbox One controllers (one for the actual Xbox, one for my PC) with a backup set for both controllers. When they run out (which takes far longer than my…

Meh, I like the ergonomics of the Switch Pro controller, but I find the buttons and d-pad to be too mushy.

My first Civ game was Civ 5, and I was hooked. I played it a ton. (70 hours according to Steam, but I had a ton of hours on a laptop that I had in offline mode and, for whatever reason, never synced right with Steam after I went back online). When I went to China for the first time I took my laptop with me and spent…

I’ll preface this by saying that pancakes are fine. If I want breakfast I have no real issue eating at a pancake place or even making them at home.

I’ve never played Scythe, but Wingspan is one of my favorite board games. It happens to also be from Stonemaier games, and it also has rules and special cards to play solo against an Automa.

How so?

Plus all day yesterday.
