Figured I'd share this.

I'm one of the lucky ones to have a PS5 and I rarely even turned it on until I picked up the new Ratchet & Clank. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the only real reasons to own a PS5 at the moment. Thankfully, that might change around the spring when GT7 and other "true next-gen" games hit the shelves. Even if R&C was technically possible on a PS4 (I'm not technically inclined to argue that), it's just a damn good game and I highly recommend it.

I'm sure a lot of them actually did, but it got lost in all the panic and uncertainty of the moment.

There's another thing contributing to vaccine hesitancy that doesn't get enough attention. Mainstream media tends to cast undue attention on "breakthrough cases" - not just public figures, but sometimes just ordinary people who were really unlucky. I know it can't exactly be helped given the nature of mass media and social media, but it really sends mixed messages about vaccines and their effectiveness. "This dude got the vaccine and was infected. By the way, most people who get the vaccine won't get infected!"

I think there's a general expectation among the lay-person (i.e. you and me) that "these people are galaxy brains and they should get it right the first time every time because they're so smart". When the scientific body goes back on recommendations that they once made -- which is to be expected with a novel virus -- the lay-person is bound to feel betrayed and disillusioned. Not that this is an excuse to outright ignore science and endanger others. Humanity has collectively found out more about COVID-19 in 18 months than we've found out about ALS in over a century and a half of study.

Yeah I forgot to show up for this one. Sorry. No excuse really. Guess I got distracted by something shiny.

Whoops, sorry I didn't respond earlier. I should be able to make it. Yes, I have a Switch.

Racing games, easily. My big introduction to online play was, strangely enough, Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing on the PS3.

Don't @ me:

I actually have a Sega Nomad battery pack I'd be willing to sell. More details coming in PM

Finally, a "buying" thread I can respond to. Should I PM you with my offer or should I just respond here?
