This has absolutely nothing to do with getting beyond this with case levels where they are at in most places at this point.

Unless we are checking vaccine records at the door most places should maintain masks indoors for now.

I'm in a highly vaccinated area and case levels are literally as low as they've been since the beginning of the pandemic.

I guess we'll just continue with masks for healthy, vaccinated people forever because we're never, ever getting rid of COVID completely.

So I went to an Aldi's (supermarket) the other day, and the sign at the door said you don't need a mask if you're vaccinated. Awesome. So I walk in and I felt like a mutant as I was literally the only person not wearing a mask. No one said anything to me but I still felt grossly out of place.

The next day I was at a strip mall and every store (Target, Best Buy, another supermarket, etc.) still all had signs to wear a mask.

We're never going to get beyond this if places don't actually start allowing vaccinated people to go maskless.

I feel like I'm going to just have to start not wearing one and then have someone tell me I need to, if necessary.

After feeling fine the day of the shot, I spent a good chunk of yesterday "feeling off". Slight headache, body aches, tiredness, etc. Nothing major but just the feeling of not being 100%. Took a nap in the afternoon and woke up feeling better. By the time I went to bed I was feeling back to normal.

And yes, I drank a whole lot of water Friday and Saturday. Maybe it helped, maybe it didn't. Who knows. I tend to drink a lot of water anyway.

Woke up today feeling fine, other than some lingering arm soreness.

I mean, if 1,000,000 get vaccinated, 1 person gets blood clots, and that 1 person gets reported on the news, well, everyone will have heard about "that 1 person" but the odds are still 1 in a million. The odds don't change just because of publicity.

the vaccines are roughly parallel, I was going to wait for Moderna until I read up on the studies.

I definitely had a bad day after getting mine, 100+ fever and felt like the flu for like 8 hours and then just felt fine and slept like a baby the next night.

I feel like in America were going to start seeing news about people refusing the vaccine and supply growing in certain areas.

I mean that's already the case. Lots of reports of people being able to travel from "blue" areas to "red" to get available appointments.

Stalkers are the worst (HZD)

Yeah, they're not fun but Thunderjaws are pretty bad as well and the Frozen Wilds machines are THE.WORST. Big, mean and super aggressive, and multiply that by 2 if they're Daemonic.

Having said that....

I FINISHED HORIZON: ZERO DAWN (and the Frozen Wilds DLC too...)!

Finished with around 90% for both the main game and the DLC. Did everything but the Hunting Grounds and the weapon tutorials.

I give it a 4 out of 5 rating. Beautiful graphics, interesting story and world, pretty fun gameplay. It's brought down by too many "follow the trail" missions and some really bad menus and "on boarding". The game just doesn't do a very good job of explaining things and leaves seemingly vital info to loading screen tips. I guess it's good that the loading tips are good, because you'll get to read a dozen due to the pretty awful load times.

As is usually the case, the DLC is probably the best part of the whole thing. Better missions, story, and characters, and all in a nice smaller area.

Might have time to knock off GRIS before the end of the month...

I'm around 90% for the main game as well. The next main mission says it's the "Final Battle" so I'm thinking it's that one and then one more mission after that to wrap things up. The last 3-5 missions have been very story heavy and they feel like they've taken a very long time to get through compared to the rest of the game.

I've done everything else in the main game except the Hunting Grounds. I might come back to them once I finish the main story but, to be honest, probably not.

I'm at around 40% for the DLC area. My plan is to finish off the DLC before I do the final main story missions as I think that makes the most narrative sense.

The story has gotten interesting. Nothing TOO shocking though. I maybe wish there weren't so many audio and text logs but that might be on me for backloading all those missions and not breaking them up with more side stuff.

I think if you're only at 25% you're going to have a tough time finishing by the end of the month unless you focus on the main missions. But maybe you're a faster player than me. My in-game clock says 80+ hours, though there's likely as much as 10 hours of "idle" time that shouldn't really count.

Applying the freeze status REALLY helps with damaging the machines. I was fighting the named Thunderjaw, and despite tearing off most of it's armor, was not doing a lot of damage even with triple arrows. Eventually it actually killed me because I wasn't paying enough attention to my health. The 2nd time, I applied Freeze to it first and that was letting me do double or triple as much damage with each volley.

I tend to fall into the trap with games like this of just wanting the execute "my" strategy and not utilizing enough of the full play space. 90% of the time that works just fine because the game will just let you "power through" but it's always good to have a chance to reevaluate every once in a while.

Feels like I'm pretty close to the end game now with Horizon

I just did the Zero Dawn mission. Talk about A LOT of exposition... The fight against the Behemoth was a pain, if only because the damn thing wouldn't hit the pillars. Next thing is to head back to All Mother, so I figure there's that and there's a least one spot in the far northern reaches that the game hasn't sent me yet near a Stormbird site.

One of the things that has made the game easier for me is knowing that you actually have to build up the gage for a machine to be affected by a status effect. I figured that once it had the little icon over its head it was affected, but not until after like 12 story quests did I finally see as a hint on a loading screen that you actually had to build it up.

LOL, yes! Took me a while to realize that as well (probably read the same hint). You can get that pretty quick though when using double/triple shots.

I'll say again that this game has some bad "on boarding"/tutorials/menus.

The first one wasn't hard at all for me because it was stationary. The second one ultimately ended up being more long and annoying than difficult. After about a dozen tries of dying almost right away, I finally ended up breaking the fight by keeping my distance circling the perimeter of the room and spamming fire arrows and sharp shot arrows while jumping to slow time. I probably used well over a hundred arrows between the two. I'm sure that's not the way that fight was intended to go but I finished it.

The first one was cake. There was a little area I could just peak my head out of to take a shot. First tear arrow took off like 80% of it's health; guess I hit it in the right glowy spot. I fired half a dozen "regular" arrows that did no damage and then I eventually hit a spot that took it down.

My experience with the 2nd was pretty much the same thing, except it only took 3-4 tries. I was busy sniping the humans and didn't know it would destroy the platform out from under me, so I fell to my death. Took a few more tries before I was able to kill most of them first and then rappel down without getting seen. Then I did the same circle strafing and trying to hit it in the glowy/vulnerable bits. Eventually it went down but it probably only took me a few dozen good hits as I've got the charge shot from the DLC and a bunch of purple damage and handling upgrades.

Closing in on 80% for Horizon, did a couple of big story missions in a row. LOTS of exposition, like an almost ridiculous amount. It's amusing to just warp to a campfire exactly where I need to go next because I'd already explored that area for fun a few dozen hours ago.

I didn't find either of the 2 fights with a Deathbringer too difficult, at least with my current load out and skills. I feel like I've had way more trouble with some of the other big, high end machines or when I get overrun by 3-4 mid-tier machines like those damn Stalkers.

Now Level 39 in Horizon with almost 70% complete for the main game. Still bizarrely only 10 completed main quests. I did finish getting all the collectibles though! Have 3 corruption zones left. Finally went to Meridian and did some of the stuff there.

In getting one of the vantage points I climbed all the way to the top of a mountain that I have to imagine is where either a significant or end game story happens. The Vantage Point said it was near The Mountain That Fell (or something like that). There was a brief cutscene for a Stormbird. I basically avoided it and continued forward. I got to an area where I could climb some more but then I couldn't figure out a way forward even though it was clear there was some place higher up to go. So I just turned back and figured I'll be back here later.

It's funny, I had started making my bed everyday a while back and I do think it makes a difference.

For the longest time I was also on Team "why make the bed, I'm just going to get back into it in a few hours".

But with this COVID stuff, I'm now at home all the time. I find that making the bed is my impetus to truly "start" the day and not stay in PJs all day. I make the bed (it's certainly not military level immaculate though), I change to non-bed clothes, and I brush my teeth. And now that I've done all that, I've set my mind right to be productive that day.

Plus, at the end of the day, there's a certain satisfaction to getting into a made bed.

To the naysayers, I CHALLENGE you to do this; make your bed every day for a year. I can almost guarantee you will be better off for it.

I haven't done any cauldrons. I honestly don't even know where to look.

The thing I referred to as a "boss" was the Deathbringer at the end of the Grave-Hoard mission

^That is quite a bit further than most/all of you are in the story.

Yep, have no idea about that story mission.

Have you done the Tallnecks yet to uncover the map? Once you do that, the Cauldrons will appear as blue Greek symbols (i.e. blue symbols that aren't Hunting Grounds or Bandit Camps. Definitely worth doing.

Speaking of Bandit Camps...
I met Nil before the first camp. Then I ran around the world and eventually cleared out all the other camps. When I finished the last one, Nil appeared outside that camp and was basically like "that was fun doing that with you, too bad it's over" and I was thinking, "This is literally the 2nd time I've seen you..." I'm assuming he's a character you're supposed to meet more often but my route though the world meant that didn't happen for me?

I wonder what darkx feels about some of the fights at the end of the Cauldrons. There's one in particular that was rather tough for me because of being in such a confined space.

I have to say I really think the menus in this game suck. Why are there's no options to sort or at least "star" your favorites? Very annoying.

Also, did you know that Handling controls the speed you can draw and reload? After disdaining those coils in favor of damage for so long I finally decided to look it up online. Turns out, they ARE useful!

After spending the last 10-15 hours just fucking around exploring and doing some of the Frozen Wilds content it was a bit of an eye opener going back to the main game's side quests. Search item, show path, follow path, kill things at end, run back to quest giver. I mean that's "part and parcel" for the genre but damn has it felt so...rote. It has been cool though to see how much easier things are due to the combination of better weapons, better skills, and better game knowledge.

I really push back on this take. I don't think it compromises Spider-Man's character or makes him take a backseat in his own movie.

Tony Stark is phenomenal in the MCU, and there was a great opportunity to leverage that in growing Peter in this world. Stark had a lot of good lessons to pass on to him, and elevates Spider-Man's journey. "if you're nothing without the suit, then you don't deserve to have it." is a great lesson for peter beyond the great responsibility line. Yeah, it's not just about how strong Peter is, or how smart he is, or how many gadgets he has. Why is *he* worthy of this kind of power, and responsibility?

They carried it through and made a great movie, and a great character. Opportunities like this don't come along often. I don't think this was "shoehorning Tony Stark into everything", it's taking advantage of a great opportunity that would not ordinarily be available.

I certainly agree that Stark has been a great backbone for the MCU and that Marvel will be very hard pressed to move the MCU to even greater heights without the Tony and Steve duopoly. (Though I'm on board to see them try! I think it IS going to take folding in the X-Men and Fantastic Four to achieve.)

I also totally understand that it makes absolute sense for Stark to be the "father figure" in Peter's life.

It's hard for me to pin down and put into words. I just remember feeling a child-like sense of giddiness and joy seeing Spider-man in Civil War. That airport scene might be my favorite thing in the MCU. But I walked away from Homecoming kind of disappointed. And then the same thing happened again with Far From Home.

I think how the X-Men get rolled into the MCU will be telling. They are/were totally capable of being their own franchise. So will they also feel beholden to the greater core universe or will they be able to stand on their own.

Despite being a big fan of Spider-man something has felt off to me about both of his MCU films. I've loved his cameo roles in Civil War and the later Avengers movies but when he's gotten the stage to himself something just hasn't clicked.

I think I just don't like the MCU portrayal of Spider-man. I think there's just too much Stark influence on his growth and powers for my taste.

2005 to 2008 were all on time. Then 2000-2004 were done in 2009 and 2010.

Starting in 2015, I began going backwards starting with 1999

That's what I expected, so it explains some of the odd choices; not that any of the winners are bad games, just that I expect opinion would have been different if they were run at the time.

If OoT lost to 1080 then it's simply people being contrarian to avoid the LAW. No way OoT doesn't make the final in 1998 if asked at that time. I'm not certain of the result of a 1998 era OoT vs Pokemon match though; I expect it would have been a good one.

I'm up to 37% in HZD. I've only done about 10 story missions, but even with having purple weapons, I still struggle with certain machines (I don't want to see another giant bird for awhile). Thus, I have been doing some side quests/errands and going through bandit camps and cauldrons for extra experience and capabilities. I don't really like the caludrons from a gameplay standpoint, but I like the rewards.

If you've got the "Complete Edition" I might recommend you try some of the Frozen Wilds content. You can get some "Purple+" weapons there that feel a good bit more powerful. You can only buy them with the currency from that content though, so you'll have to hunt around for it (there's a map you can buy) or play through some story missions. The machines there are a good bit more difficult too but...you should be able to manage.

The Caludron power is very useful for "thinning the herd" at the beginning of an encounter, provided you can sneak up to a creature. Another thing that helps are the double/triple arrow power.

Is anyone else annoyed at the ridiculous load times? If I die it feels like 30 seconds to respawn. And if I try to fast travel it feels like a minute.

Okay, so instead of getting back to the main game I decided to wander into the Frozen Wilds territory. Some pretty neat stuff up there! New weapons (which I can't afford yet), collectibles, animals, etc.

I also have to say that the voice acting and direction seems way better than the little I've done of the main game's story.

His comment about the camera stuff is eye opening. I'm someone who easily thinking 3D World and Galaxy are the best 3D Mario games.

But as someone who grew up on 2D Mario it maybe makes sense why I might prefer 3D World/Galaxy over 64/Odyssey.

Still only done 9 main missions (level 26 or so). I've uncovered the entire map (aside from the DLC area) and done all the Cauldrons and Outposts. I think I'm about ready to start the main quest again, lol.

It's a little weird to run around areas where you're not "supposed" to be yet and get dialog that doesn't really mean anything to me. I cleared out this one fortification and freed a prisoner who was just like "thank you mysterious stranger, guess I'll get back to it then". Then I think I ran into them later as a named NPC and they didn't acknowledge that happened. Maybe it was someone else...

I've gotten to the point where my inventory is constantly full. I probably don't actually need half the shit in there and if I did, most of it could be gotten back pretty quick.

Someone else can correct me, but you also have to think about the type of account. I'm assuming everyone in this topic is using a regular, taxable account. But I don't believe you have to worry about capital gains taxes in IRAs (or at least not in an Roth).
