My impression of the rail so far is that it just takes so damn long to kill anything. I even had Zeus on the attack, which doubled its damage, and it still felt like I was chipping away at blocks of marble with a rubber mallet
Zag rail is pretty trash.

Barring that, probably a soap opera like Young and the Restless that's been running for half a century with a decent turnover rate.

The two dose vaccines are not tested/designed to be a one dose vaccine.

While the effectiveness of reducing contraction is better with one dose of the Phizer/Moderna, the effectiveness of reducing severe symptoms/hospitalization and death is unknown.

Johnson and Johnson has a near 100% rate in avoiding severe symptoms/hospitalization and death with one shot.

I don't think they've actually confirmed how many parts there will be yet. Before the release of part 1, they said in an interview that they didn't know how many parts it would be. People just assumed 3 parts.

But I agree. There's no reason to believe they won't release part 2 by 2022.

Fallout New Vegas is pretty good at this. It's more faction/reputation than straight up morality, but the game has multiple endings for each main faction, a number of locations, and all possible followers, that are determined by a number of factors for each ending.

Each dlc also does the same thing for your actions in the dlc.

if you're just eating a bowl of plain white rice then of course its bland. that's like eating a bowl of plain noodles or mashed potatoes with no seasoning. the point of food like that is that they're flavor sponges designed to compliment other dishes.
This. One strong point rice has though, is that you don't have to add seasonings for it to go with just about anything as a side.

Something that definitely can't be said about pasta, and potatoes. You always have to add a bit of fat (oil/butter) and seasonings for those to be good with most dishes.

I only ever played the game in Japanese but the author is slightly mistaken here. is both a first and second person pronoun. It could be someone talking to you or Link talking to himself. The translation is fine in my opinion. I actually don't like the way they are characterizing it as a first person pronoun, because even when using it that way it carries a sense of disembodied speech like using oneself in English. I guess what I mean is it is not the equivalent of writing I.
Yeah, this was addressed back when it first started to circulate.

The game never actually uses the regular first person "I", "myself", etc.

It's always the Japanese equivalent of "one" or "oneself", which can be 1st or 3rd person (or 2nd person in some dialects).

having a 67% or higher efficacy is still great. Any of these shots will prevent covid from outright killing you.
This. Although the lung and heart damage you can get from severe cases is still scary, at least you shouldn't die from it.
