| Topic | CDC to again recommend everyone mask up in crowded public areas |

Yeah, I went into that in more detail in another post. And then Fates used some weird system that meant true hit was still higher/lower than the displayed value (for above/below 50, respectively), but didn't have quite as pronounced an effect as the 2RN system did. Knowing that really just makes all those 99% misses even more infuriating. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
