The reason that covid would benefit from evolving to be less deadly is that people don't want a deadly disease and take steps to prevent it. But people don't care about long covid, and that means there isn't an evolutionary pressure for long covid to get less severe. I think covid is going to be our generation's equivalent to lead poisoning until we take it seriously.

Keep in mind the fact that the slow vaccine rollout gave the virus the chance to multiply in poor countries and develop vaccine resistance, which then fucked everyone else too. If everyone in the world had been vaccinated quickly, we could have wiped out covid and we wouldn't be dealing with long covid brain damage and immune system compromise now. These patents have killed millions of people and will continue to ruin millions of lives. There is blood on the hands of these people on a scale greater than any terrorist attack, and they knew full well the consequences.

Undertale is a game about how children who are beaten shouldn't hit back.

Also no patents for covid vaccines. There are third world countries that have the local industry to make vaccines, but they have to pay Astrazeneca for shots instead of making their own because Bill Gates wanted to protect the value of his government funded pharmaceutical investments.

People can use skins to show that they're fans of a particular work. The Metroid fans want to socially signal their Metroid fandom in Fortnite, which is a social game home to many non Metroid fans they can posture to.

It's like wearing a costume to Comicon.

That's what hack and slash means? I thought it was a game where you hack and slash

If Zelda is an RPG then so is Halo. Master Chief and Link both have exactly the same number of thoughts in their heads. I would argue Halo ODST is more of an RPG than any Zelda game.

TES definitely focuses on story over action. Those games have much better lore than combat

Why isn't 2018 GOW hack and slash?

No luck catching that murderer, then?

Worth noting appeals can only be sent to one mod, so managing inactivity is important on that front.
