In Part II, the surviving remnants of humanity are divided into two camps: the people who insist that heavily guarded Quarantine Zones are an essential safeguard for society’s continued existence and the people who want to throw open the doors in the belief that the Cordyceps-infected zombies are fake news blown out of proportion by the media to make their warlord of choice look bad.

Don’t forget the zombies still mumbling about how they supported the fungus because it promised to clean up the prokaryotes and vermin; and now it’s infecting the wrong people. Those ones are important.

You know, i’m not a massive gamer but i do love games and i enjoy reading about them and listening to pods about them but the fuckery that publishers get up to when promoting them gets right on my nerves.

I suppose if the pandemic gets worse than anything in their game, they won’t be around to feel silly about it…

So SONY finally has found a way to make people pay for the virus. I wonder if they’ll try to get the copyright on it.

Is no one going to mention that this is $200 for a f-ing deck with essentially no artwork, just a giant name on it?

That pretty much sums up most overpriced gaming tat.

That board is going to look totally sketch after the '21 Fungal Leprosy Event.

Companies must buy ad space in the media, but people eagerly shell out big money to become walking billboards.
