So I have almost picked up this game like 3 times and I know there's a ton of versions. Which is the best?
S is the definitive version content-wise. It's also no longer Switch exclusive, but I don't know which of PS4 or PC is better. Just get it wherever you want really, and be careful that you're not getting the original version if you get it anywhere other than the Switch.

Gotta admit I was hoping for more connection/explanation than just the obvious villain connection. Like something connecting the powers.
Nope. Just some implications that they're connected/related. And literally all of those are in part 3, with not even a mention of the power beyond that iirc.

Part 7 has a similar-but-not-quite-the-same power that's also heavily implicated to be related to Stands, but that's also different.

So for someone with little to no interest in continuing JoJo can you tell me what is the connection to stone mask vampires and pillar men? Any discussion of the solar power from the 2nd part?
There's some implications that Hamaon is fundamentally the same kind of power as Stands, though far weaker/less manifested. But aside from that, the connection there is basically entirely Dio - The plot threads with the stone mask (Aside from Dio being a vampire) and pillar men are entirely closed at the end of part 2. Dio is the villain again in Part 3. An illiegtimate son of his is the protagonist of part 5. A confidant/follower of his is the villain in part 6. Part 4 doesn't have a big, direct connection, though it does have a few minor ones. And part 7 reboots the series into an alternate timeline where Stands are essentially a thing from the start

I don't know if "wrong" is the right word.

Isn't it just that they count even the most lightly suspected (but not confirmed) deaths as being COVID related causing inflated numbers? It's difficult to compare across countries when there isn't a standardized metric for "counting" cases.
Uhhh, if anything the exact opposite is happening here.

For example, Texas and Florida both have something like 5x as many (supposedly non-Covid) pneumonia deaths from Feb-May this year than in a normal year according to CDC data

Don't really understand the Cane's hype, had it for the first time recently and while the chicken and fries are decent they'd just be basic ass chicken and fries without the Cane's sauce
I mean, duh? But that still makes it damn good for fast food chicken. You've got to contextualize here. It's not gonna be gourmet shit. It's still fast food in the end, even if it's at the upper end of that specific category. The Zaxbys I've been to have all been comparable quality-wise though, so picking one over the other is whatever.

SeabassDebeste posted...
i specifically remember that we were told masks could "make it worse by increasing the viral load you're exposed to!" we were specifically discouraged from wearing masks. i remember smugly thinking that people wearing masks were doing the wrong thing and that i, avoiding touching things but sanitizing and washing my hands all the time, was doing the "right" thing.
I definitely do not remember this at all.

Kenri posted...
My memory of it is that masks were in incredibly short supply in the early stages of the pandemic, so the advice to the general public to not wear masks was for the sake of ensuring that medical personnel would have the masks they needed. I don't think it was ever about masks not being helpful.

StealThisSheen posted...
Early on, the thought was that those that are sick with it will actually appear sick, and the better thing for healthy people to do would be to properly stay home as much as they could, social distance, etc. Thus, the desire was to save the masks for the people in the health industry and to avoid people thinking they could just wear a mask and not worry about any other preventative measures.

LordoftheMorons posted...
Afaik the main reason was concerns of shortages for healthcare workers. There was also uncertainty about their efficacy (particularly if not worn properly), and a concern that people would be less careful about distancing if they felt like they were already protected by the mask. It was certainly a big mistake, though.
These, though, yes.

I'm actually quite surprised (in the best way possible) that nothing has come out for the GDQ/speedrunning community.

I'm chalking it up to the fact that, aside from GDQ, the vast majority of it is very decentralized and over the internet (As opposed to e.g Smash/esports meeting up in person for tournaments), but it's a good thing regardless.

Is he the biggest name brought up so far?

Gotta think Dota is bigger than Smash, and even though I'm not into Dota at all I still know the name. The only comparably big name I know of mixed up in anything here is Joe Miller, who had stuff come out from 2014ish when he was still in the League of Legends scene. The only name I recognized off KP's list above is Nairo.

In this situation, the lack of public response is just fine, these sorts of entanglements are not really the job of the president to respond to, the cold war business is all intel agencies, even if the 'fake news' claims are bogus.
I actually generally agree with this take, but when we've got a president that's been so, uh, pro-Russia during his time in office, and the response he has given is to just scream that this is fake, you can see why people may be rightfully a bit miffed. To put it lightly. Especially when he represents the political party that claims to be strongly pro-military.

Like, I don't think anybody's actually expecting him to do truly do anything on it, but is at least acknowledging it and denouncing it too much to ask for?

Like this. I thought about just allowing people to pick "match winner" without having to commit to either fighter, but perhaps having that pick only be worth half. Or maybe a 50 point bonus if they decide to pick just Ganondorf or Banjo
I'm fine with this as long as that pick isn't worth half - seems like a pointless thing to do imo.

5-way FFA Finals + two runner-up matches sounds good to me too.
