  1. Moderna’s omicron booster was only as good as current vaccine in monkey study ARSTECHNICA.COM Boosting with an omicron-specific vaccine didn't offer more protection against omicron.
  2. US believes Putin has decided to invade Ukraine, Biden tells Nato leaders | Ukraine | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Invasion could come within a few days, diplomats say after White House holds situation room meeting
  3. I still really don't believe the incursion will have the objective of seizing/occupying Kyiv. It'll be focused on the complete and total Russian military occupation of the eastern provinces, but significant forces will be kept in their staging areas to keep the pressure on the Ukrainian government with the threat of an advance to Kyiv.
  4. Now that @johnny has posted our weekly "shower" thread, who will post our weekly "shit" thread?
  5. ‘Blade Runner 2099’ Live-Action Sequel Series From Ridley Scott, Silka Luisa & Alcon In Works At Amazon Studios DEADLINE.COM The replicants are heading to the small-screen as Amazon Studios has put a live-action series in the Blade Runner universe into development.
  6. The Biggest NFT Video Game's Economy Is Collapsing Because NFT Games Don't Work REASON.COM Some NFT assets held their value during January's crypto crash, but not the video game monsters in Axie Infinity. Man, if the libertarian apologists at Reason don't think this is a good idea...
  7. Former Battlefield 3 lead "astonished" by Battlefield 2042 "missteps" | GamesRadar+ WWW.GAMESRADAR.COM Lead designer David Goldfarb reckons a Battlefield 2143 is the next logical step
  8. Ford just declared a "state of emergency" for Ontario. Trucker protests: Ontario calls state of emergency WWW.BBC.COM Ontario Premier Doug Ford called on protesters to 'go home' and end the 'illegal occupation'.
  9. In any case, there is no way in hell that Justin is even remotely cool enough to be Fidel's or Pierre's son. Margaret must've had a drunken one-night stand with some nerd loser with Justin being the result of that truly unfortunate tryst.
  10. Early review from German PC gaming magazine GameStar: Time to finish around 60 hours Two very different parts, the first half of the game is more about avoiding enemies, exploration, and the second half is more about fighting Elex 2 is set as part 2 of a trilogy and you can clearly make that out, by the open ending for several parts of the storylines First half plays like a survival game, probably with a lot of quick saves / load and you try to avoid battles where possible (sounds exactly like Elex 1) Four difficulty settings More than 80 skills (Very) good skill tree (system) Made for fans of Gothic and Elex Five factions to choose from (but you don't have to choose one, though it is recommended - also for the story) The Main story only picks up in the second half of the game It is recommended to have played Elex 1 (to get all the story details in Elex 2) Faces of the characters are a huge weakness in most cases (looking like wax figures in many cases) Quests, cities, and the world, in general, are highlights again Game world is pretty much the same size as in Elex 1 Choices by the player have real consequences A ton of dialogues, especially if you first enter a city/camp from one of the factions (lots of talking) Companions in Elex 2 as well, complete with their own quest lines Controls/Combat and animations still feel a bit clunky, but improved compared to Elex 1 (don't expect a AAA modern combat system and animations/graphics in general) Grenades and rocket launchers are mostly of use to "push back enemies" rather than weapons to actually fight/kill them Flying feels better/improved and is a lot more fun, but is limited in time (jetpack can be upgraded several times) and one point I won't mention here Only very minor quest and tech issues in this near-final build, which should be fixed for the release version Final score prediction around 80-82/100, worst part being the graphics with 3/5
