I was doing cloth masks until April 2021. Switched up to neck gaiters after I became vaccinated for comfort and ease of use until 2022 when Omicron started exploding. Now I'm using KN95s and N95s.

Not only is this not a plot hole, but if you look at the Vice City code, the weather patterns change mid-game once you've unlocked the western part of the map. Granted, there's no actual hurricane, but perhaps the hurricane changed path before it could hit Vice City.

Isnt COVID currently a problem for literally everyone? Global warming? I dont think it can solve those.
No, but it certainly can mitigate the effects. Not having to work or pursue work for an income can certainly reduce the chances of COVID exposure if you aren't WFH, and also allow you to pay the premiums to have Instacart shoppers do your grocery shopping full time. Having a small fortune also means you can leave your home city if it is threatened by freak weather events exacerbated by climate change, like Ted Cruz just opting to fly to Cancun while his city freezes.

It's possible that I caught it on a cruise ship in January 2020, but I'll never know for sure. I haven't been sick at all since that time, so if I had COVID at any other time, I was asymptomatic and nobody else in the house caught it either.

Allen clearly fudges with the seeding when it suits him, such as the "Board 8 seeds" in 2013.
Also, I highly doubt the Noble Nine were the nine most nominated characters that year. I figure some of those 2 seeds out nominated at least a couple N9ers.

Life isn't ever going to go completely back to normal, particularly if you have the desire to not get really sick from COVID.

That said, for the most part, the tools are there to avoid the worst outcomes for most people, though the elderly and immuno-compromised are probably going to be extra-cautious for quite a long time. Just continue to wear masks in public, especially during winter months when every sort of airborne illness is out there, and stay current on your shots, and you can pretty much not worry about doing the things you do. You might eventually catch COVID, but it shouldn't kill you or cause permanent disability if you are doing the right things now.

that's only because they mistakenly think the period we're about to enter is DST
It doesn't help that since we extended DST, we spend about 2/3rds of the year under DST, so which is really the default setting now?

Wasn't too difficult if you followed the train properly.

Though I can understand why following it to the end and failing was frustrating because of the distance required to retry the mission.
The problem is that Big Smoke has a voice line telling you to get close to the train, when getting too close means Smoke's bullets hit the train and not the Vagos.

I would take Yoshi's Island because of the Mario > DK pecking order.

Not that I'd feel 100% confident.
I think categorizing Yoshi's Island as a Mario game instead of a Yoshi game is a bit of a mistake, but Yoshi is still above DK on the pecking order.

Played them for the first time recently and for the most part they're pretty fun and not too cheap (with a handful that do pull your hair out).

Biggest QoL adjustments that could be made is letting you restart missions as soon as you fail with maybe an ability to rebuy your stuff. Losing everything and having to trek back to the mission start is kind of a pain.
Vice City Stories had an option to where you could optionally pay a larger bribe to get your confiscated weapons back. Implement that into the trilogy, and perhaps a checkpoint/retry system, and you have an improved experience with little effort.

I wonder about that

As someone who dickrode Witcher a lot last year, I suspect it's been damaged a lot since the contest. CDPR received so much goodwill back than, and people weren't questioning the game's quality.

Cyberpunk REALLY hurt the company's image, and I think a lot of the people memeing Witcher 3 were the first to turn on it. Cyberpunk prompted a LOT of 'Was Witcher 3 even that good' discussions, and the game's stock has taken a tumble among casuals who were only memeing it because of 'wholesome CDPR'

Re-run Witcher vs Skyrim today and I would hardly be surprised if Skyrim wins now.
I think Witcher would still win right now, but I think Skyrim is going to have much better staying power the longer time marches on being looked at as an innovator of the genre, especially with CDPR losing its luster.

I guess you could argue 3-3 fits the bill. Tigre lent Elg money, but he didn't know him otherwise and his motivation for killing him had nothing to do with Elg himself.
Depends on how pre-meditated you consider 3-3 to be. Most would consider it so, but Tigre's murder plan was a Plan B that he only went through with when Elg suddenly won the lottery at the worst possible time.

it's kind of amazing that Great Ace Attorney contains an 11037 type of riddle
Honestly, 5231045 being Sholmes is even more so of a stretch, but at least it's not immediately obvious when you see the writing on the arm.

Honestly, I bet Allen would actually allow Herlock Sholmes into the contest, given that that name is an extra degree of separation that other borderline cases don't have (even though the name already existed for a similar parody that just became public domain). Whether or not Sholmes sees a memetic benefit as a result, or loses any benefit as a result of not actually being Sherlock Holmes is another story, but I wouldn't bet on him getting out of Round 1 either way.

It's really weird Chrono Trigger isn't doing much better than the 2011 poll, since it was likely assumed Chrono Trigger back then wasn't quite as strong as it was in 2015. 2011 Chrono Trigger probably would have been closer to what it did in 2009 where it looked kind of bad.
I always thought that assumption was off-base, and that CT was just the victim of bad bracket placement a few contests in a row, like running into Missingno in round 1, or that Crono/Magus/Pikachu match.
