haha in the netflix popular searches are Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak, Containment, Outbreak, 2012, and Boss Baby
>>823103 It's a movie that has touched me pretty deeply. It's very poetic with a lot of subtle symbolism.
It's also my favorite Oscar Isaac movie.
>>823104 China actually has done tests and the reported results of their containment measures are in-line with other nations doing the same containment measures, so it's probably somewhat reliable. America has done very few tests because it's literally impossible to get tested unless you're wealthy or a cop or something similar.
Anno
I would say China almost certainly downplayed if not fudged the numbers they had early on. But by now the pandemic is common knowledge and everyone knows how dangerous it can be. There is absolutely no benefit anymore to them containing the knowledge.
!C0.PerkELE
>>823105 everyone should follow south korea they have dealt with this so well
Many places are dealing with it as well as they can. America is going to be really bad, though. It already is. Nobody is social distancing here. Everyone is acting like nothing's happening.
Millions of people are going to die.
>>823109 It's so bizarre to me that anyone believes you can develop herd immunity to a virus that you cannot develop immunity to.
Yes, there are reinfections. There are people testing negative on tests and then getting it again as early as five days after their symptoms end.
>>823112 Healthy young people are dying from it. I have two friend-of-a-friends that are in the hospital right now coughing up copious amounts of blood because of their C19 infections. One of them is probably going to die.
Anno
He's reasonably healthy, has good health benefits from his job (I think) and has a good family structure behind him to care if he catches it. I've got good faith Blue'll be good.
!C0.PerkELE
>>823108 our only weakness is lack of general testing, i'd say but it just is impossible to do it with our resources, when even during normal times there is lack of personnel in hospitals
>>823111 I'm not saying it gives immunity, I'm well aware there's greviously ill and dead that are quite young and healthy. But in the big complex picture of surviving, it is likely to influence as a benefit.
I hope those friends are in hospitals that can accomodate them. Even if they're really at risk, at this point that's probably the best place for them to be.
!C0.PerkELE
also OFFICIALLY LIVING IN QUARANTINE ZONE not that it affects me
>>823114 If you've recovered and no longer have symptoms and test negative, that typically means you're no longer infected. There are quite a few cases of this and there are other coronaviruses that are like this, most you lose immunity within a month or two. So it's a safe conclusion, unfortunately.
>>823115 Yeah, you're right. It is a good protective factor.
Unfortunately, our local hospital isn't really able to deal with it effectively.
it sure is a good thing where i work at a hospital that is doing drive through covid swabbing

Ronin ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

Anno
>>823128 The amount of Vitamin C your body would need to take in to overdose on it is beyond absurdly huge. Any Vitamin C you don't use just passes through in urine. Is 1000% a lot? Yeah definitely, but it's also not harmful.
>>823132 >Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29099763 It actually does help with immune system bolstering too, I'd totally forgotten about that.
yup, but it still is one of those things people over rely on during influenza season
Anno
Like I mentioned earlier, surviving/recovering from an illness is a big picture, where each of these pieces can help or accelerate recovery. Vitamin C supplements are not terribly expensive so there is no problem with relying on them, as long as it is alongside other important assist factors.
speaking of my anti-china agenda, apparently romania gave some of their research to some "common medicine pool" that anyone can use and then china went "ooh nice, this is mine now" essentially on it damn silly

Being at home all day, the days feel much slower to me. There was always so much going on at work, I was always so busy.

Maybe I should try and make a thorough day schedule for me. Just plug it into my phone and let it remind me I should focus on something else. My sleeping schedule has actually kind of moved towards consistency so it -so I might be able to stick to a schedule.
Otherwise my brain just hooks on to whatever thing provides enough to interest it and I'm stuck on that for hours.

Animal Crossing has always been really good at giving you little daily surprises. A new visitor or resident, something that catches your eye in the store, a seasonal event. Nintendo seems to be interested in deploying New Horizons with a bit of a Games As A Service vibe too, providing new content and supporting the game for at least a year, and probably more considering its explosive success.
>>823221 That's neat. Does AC usually get DLC or anything? Events?
Anno
In previous installments there have been seasonal events for stuff like not-Easter or not-Christmas or not-Halloween that came with the game's release, for the English localization. I know the Japanese games also got some stuff for Japanese celebrations like Hinamatsuri and O-bon. For New Horizons it seems thoss events will release as free content updates as we get close to their dates. Bunny Day, for example, starts on April 1st and runs for two weeks, and was delivered to our systems as part of the 1.1 update the game had the day before launch. Later in April it seems we'll be getting 1.2 which will have Earth Day, not sure if any unrelated content to that though. There's also smaller events your island will host, like bug-catching and fish-catching competitions you can win rewards in.
As for like "proper" DLC, the game for the 3DS a year or two into its release got a major free update which added a decent number of new villagers and furniture pieces, as well as some bits and bobs of quality of life stuff, but didn't really innovate or shake up the game's gameplay in any real way.
So there's a history of giving for free a lot of decent new content and there's already a lot promised over the year. Potentially if there's something major we might see a paid DLC , but I'm also at a loss as to what that would be.
The bit in today's Direct that was about Animal Crossing talked about getting furniture and items from the Egg set, because despite being Bunny Day ... it's really just Easter. But that's not to say there won't be Bunny Ears. I just can't guarantee it hah hah
Koi
yeah it's the easter event
Anno
There was in New Leaf however, a Bunny Hood (though I feel this might resemble the Bunny Hood from Zelda rather than bunny ears) Honestly who knows how much clothing is in this game and who knows how much they'll add. Splatoon and Animal Crossing share a dev team and whenever Splatoon 2 got a content update they dumped a whole lot of new clothing into the game too. Wouldn't be surprised if we occasionally saw something like that here too.
also apaprently they finally gave the Ai clones their original names and slight appearance changes as in hair pins and in multi vids, they use different outfits

it is bit amusing that one of the non-ais uses the idol outfit when the og AI still does all the idol stuff

Just don't watch around Tony, PAN. It's got a loli birdgirl character and that feels like a dangerous combination.

Anno
The anime ended with the island arc where the other two isekai folk and Glass square off with them.
Back when I was reading the scanlations the manga only went up 'till like Filo's hatching so that's as far as I got and then forgot about the series until it started getting kinda popular and more chatter was popping up about it.

Here's a bit of autism: I wanted to make a Skilling pure on osrs meaning that it had high skill stats but no combat levels
But I also needed an item that dropped from a lvl 110 boss that could one-hit my new character and only the person who kills the boss can pick up the item.
So I needed to get my main, and put on recoil rings which deal 10% of damage taken back on the attacker except the recoil damage doesn't count as an attack
So I had to get my level three, do one hit on it then get my main to stand there for like 10 minutes using recoil rings and restoring health
And it took ages to set up and to get both accounts into the back of the cave.
But I did it. It works. Now the new account has Ice Gloves

I don't have a PS4, so Maybe if it's one of the games that will be backwards-compatible on the PS5 from the get-go, or if they do a PS5 release.

I would say so also I think a lot of the PS4 games are going to be backwards compatible anyway I mean they say that but whether they deliver....
Anno
I tire of that kind of cynicism. They said there'll be PS4 games backwards-compatible from release and they'll be working with developers to get compatibility patches for more games. This fits -does mean some niche games'll not be brought forwards but I think that's less of a concern for most people.

>>823660 No thanks, I have to go back to work soon and I'm making dinner.

>bad with people who don't have a military/law enforcement mentality Yeah, sounds like a real swell guy. What a dreadful mentality to perpetuate.
He's not a bad guy. He's just not the right guy for this house. He does care about the clients and tries to help them. Goes out of his way for them. But he's abrasive and highly structured, bordering on OCD. He communicates poorly. For addicts, it just doesn't work that great.
He'd do better with the veteran house we have. They'd appreciate his structure and his communication style there.
It's been really weird. A lot of Very Animal shows lately but a lot of them are pretty good. Beastars is good, BNA's first episode was fun, that series about the pro wrestler that gets isekai'd and just wants to open a pet shop had some furrybait in it.

He seems pretty chill. He told me to visit his island so obviously I did. It was kind of boring but maybe that's because I am just not ready for it.
Anno
His island's thing is basically a posing and photo-op place for if you have Amiibo/Amiibo cards. You can scan in villagers and other NPCs from them and make little diorama scenes you can snap pictures of. It doesn't have any other real use I believe.
Oh, neat. Maybe I'll have fun with that eventually.
I didn't really get any new tasks today. I got a new villager and unlocked customization. I got my house upgraded too since I paid off the loan. Now it's a little bigger.
Interior design in games is so hard for me for some reason. My rooms are so boring.
In the lead-up to the game's release I was really eating through every scrap of AC-related information I could find. Turns out it's actually really easy to spoof Amiibo. All you need is an Android card that can read/write the specific NFC Amiibos use, the actual NFC which you can get easily on Amazon, and the data to write on them, which probably exists ... somewhere on the Internet. Android phone, even. I think most modern ones would have the tech to do it too.
>>823690 A lot of these tasks have been stuff to ease you into the game, I think. Previous AC games didn't have much of a tutorial, but they also didn't have as much depth in most areas as this one does. I've got a feeling once your island is allowed to take in more villagers you might need to do similar stuff to what you did for the three, but other than that, the game will probably be settling down into its day-to-day activities now.
Every Sunday morning a turnip seller will visit your island to sell them. You don't need to maintain them or anything, but make sure you sell them before the following Sunday morning else they rot and won't go for any price. The seller has a random price each Sunday, so there's a lot of luck involved in getting prices you can buy at which are nice and low, and then getting the Nooklings to buy from you at a nice profit margin. Just like the real life stock market, it's really just all about getting lucky, hah hah. Kind of fun to play though.
Interesting. So I should save up some bells for Sunday.

Pretty much. You can buy a LOT of turnips if you want, the absolute minimum is ten and the max is, well, what you can fit in your inventory at the time, at ten per item slot. But then you can just go dump the lot and go buy more so really you can get however much you want to spend.
Anno
Oh, additionally, you don't have to sell turnips at your island's store. Prices are going to differ island to island, so if you know someone who's got a really good selling price, you can grab your 'nips and go sell 'em over there.
Wow, neat. I'm gonna go all in and pay off my loan with turnips!!
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
I saw someone get like a million bells or something with those things?
Anno
You can honestly make a great profit off them, yeah. Buying the turnips is usually around 80-110 Bells per turnip, but I think the actual range can dip much cheaper than that. Their selling price will fluctuate throughout the week, with minimums usually around 40 Bells or so and maximums maybe around 130. But there are rare occasions where the price will shoot through the roof and you can get like 700 Bells per. Even if you bought them at 100 Bells a piece that's still a 7x return so a big purchase will make you a lot of money.
Most of the time you're probably gonna be making maybe a 10-25 Bells profit per turnip though hah hah
i'll win the lottery and pay the nooklings a billion bells for thousands of flimsy axes
Anno
For me it's almost always the case that no matter how much of a profit margin I can make off them, because I can literally fish in this game for hours and not even realize, in the days it takes for the prices to get high enough to be worth selling I've made back my turnip purchase and then some. So selling the turnips always feels a little less impressive.
>>823705 yeah fishin is cool are fish seasonal someone on twitter said they only have 6 days left to get a stingray
Anno
If you open the critterpedia on your phone and look at a specific critter, you'll see its monthly availability and the time of day it can be caught. With fish in particular, some are available year-round (I'm looking at YOU, Mackerel and Sea Bass), but yeah, most will have months of the year they are unavailable in. As far as the rare catches go this season ... Since you mentioned the anglerfish the only one I would assume you wouldn't have that would be going away is the sturgeon.
I'm pretty sure the stingray is a warm seasons catch, the person who has to catch it by the end of March probably chose a southern hemisphere island whose seasons are changing from summer to autumn come April.
Oh, weird. This person lives in Florida, they're less than an hour from me. I wonder why they chose that.
Anno
When you begin chosing your island at the start, the Nooklings recommend you pick one in synch with your seasons, but people are free to do otherwise. Some times it's nice to have a break from what you're experiencing, I guess.
Alternatively I might just be totally wrong and the stingray is available right now, but with the amount of fish I've gone through I would be pretty confident I'd have seen it. Stingrays will have big/biggish shadows and I pretty much always go for those.

if i catch ONE more sea bass
Anno
The devs bumped its sale price from like 200 or 300 Bells in New Leaf to 400 Bells for this game. It's a bit of a forgivance for how unbearably frequent it is, but still. Even as other underwhelming fish come and go throughout the year, the sea bass will always be there to comfort you.
Oh the convenience store near my house had an employee test positive for Covid-19. Good thing I haven't been there since before cases started popping up here anyway. Hopefully rest of the family too.
That's why I checked with my sister to see if she'd been there recently! Seems she's not been there recently either. Parents up at the cottage since my dad can work remote and mom's probably done with the school year at this rate. Basically just have to check every now and then that the two of us haven't burnt the house down.
If either of them had shopped there recently they could probably just bunker down up there, they're fairly close to a regional hospital too just in case.
More or less. Not much to put it towards though. I guess I could spend more time out in the livingroom with the nice TV but I'm just way more comfortable in my desk area. Times like this make it hard to argue with my parents' intentions to downsize our city residence within a year or so.

>>823720 sometimes it's nice to feel like you have more space to be comfortable even if there aren't any practical differences
Right? It's really fun. I have super high dex so I'm always spinning and sliding around already. I just have to improve my muscle memory with it. Sometimes you're doing so many things at once, you ki nd of have to learn what to do with your arms and then you add in what you do with your legs later, even though it's all the same move.
>>823749 where'd you get this footage of my next telehealth session
Anno
It's cool you can hear the bell chiming the hour even when you're inside buildings in New Horizon. They never did anything like that in the handheld games.
>>823748 i might do it if i get good enough at the dances novel therapies that include behavioral activation components into the therapy are gonna be the next big thing
Daijobu, daijobu. A big part of recovery is addiction replacement. That's why so many AA folks drink so much coffee. They replace their addiction with coffee and cigarettes.
As for me, I replaced my addiction to booze with an addiction to meditation.

whats the point of cuttin down trees in AC you don't get any resources for it
Anno
Aesthetic redesign. This is the first AC game you could eat fruit to move trees, and even then, sometimes you just don't want that tree anywhere. Previous games also had a perfect kind for each fruit that you could bury to make a tree full of perfect fruit, but that tree would slowly wither over time and unless you wanted a town full of dead trees, gotta get to choppin' Finally, some insects will only appear on tree stumps
>house manager calling me at 8:30 pm sorry dude i'm, asleep
Anno
Sure was nice back when your day-job wouldn't call you hours after work ended. Though I would figure sober houses even then probably would have late-night calls eh.
Yeah, but ours rarely does. Ours is pretty chill right now, I've got things set up well.
I doubt there are any emergencies or anything. If there were, a client would have contacted me instead of the house manager. If the house manager is the one contacting me, that means he's just mad about something.
All of the real juicy info comes from the clients.

wow the ghost gave me flooring
Anno
Yeah it's nice. Way down the line when I'm chasing stuff that's missing from my catalogue I hope its "Something you don't have" pulls from that.
>>823807 Oh, hm. That might be -wait no I'm just being dumb and not reading that right.
I already have tatami mats, though. How could I ever use different flooring?
Anno
I like some of the hardwood floorings. I've got this one of zig-zagged planks of dark wood that works nice with the lighter-tone wallpapers I've been using. Been keeping an eye out for tatami and a good tiling. Gotta finish my tea room and kitchen.
When you fish as probably irresponsibly as I do, you end up with a LOT of money. Though I'm not particularly grinding out money, I'm just doing things I like and it happens to be really profitable, hah hah. Like I stockpile resources because I'm naturally a hoarder, then yesterday I got a Hot Item at the Nooklings that I could burn through a bit of my stockpile for. Sold twenty Iron Garden Tables to the Nooklings for 150,000 Bells total.
But yeah eventually the home expansions you get from Nook will be room additions rather than largening.
it's been so long since I cared about Facebook what's the etiquette for adding people ? do you just ask people to add you irl or do just look people up and randomly add them
When I meet someone for the first time, sometimes they ask to add me. When I've known someone for a while, usually they just add me. I never really add people because I only use facebook to check on my dad and his wife, or talk to people in my grad school cohort.
Man this wallpaper Wisp gave me makes the room hella shady.

i got a wallpaper that deletes my windows makes it SO dark
Anno
Yeah I've seen one or two that does that too. There's at least one that, even better, transforms your square windows into those circular windows you some times see in traditional Japanese architecture.
Anno
You'll get different kinds of curtains/blinds depending on the window. I've seen cloth curtains, Venetian blinds, Venetian thick slats of wood. Though I don't think they change what curtains it looks like you have on the windows from the outside of your house.
>>823876 We all sleep in the beds we make, eh. Divine punishment or poetic irony, it feels very disproportionate though. I don't mean to be, well, mean, but I can't say I'd think how she left you is quite worth the possible death of a loved one.
more or less it's not what's keeping me in place but there's no incentive to go out other than I'm completely stagnated here just sitting around doing nothing
Maria
>>823912 Maybe sitting around doing nothing for a bit isn't so bad You'll have to do something later anyway
ToN can! He can even see your butt. He has buttvision. PAN has the nicest butt on /moe/ and ToN is in love with him for that reason and that reason alone.
