Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me.

If you're in the UK and not yet resistered to vote for the General Election, we actively encourage you to do so, to participate in the democratic process.

Doctor Who revealed it's season big bad guy, and it's a BIG bad guy, one we haven't seen for around forty nine years, and they got the original actor to return to voice him at the age of 91.

In light of the announcement of the new Watchmen animation, let's petition for the release of the original

Welp, it finally happened. Don’t know how I managed to avoid it for this long, but I finally caught COVID and it’s done a real number on me. It feels like every day I get a little better but at the same time a new symptom comes on. I’ve been cooped up in my room since Sunday, and while there’s a lot to keep me occupied, boy howdy do I miss health. And talking to somebody in-person without fear of contaminating them. I hope this doesn’t affect my brain too much, I’ve got more than enough problems as it is.

In more positive (heyooo) news, there’s a Nintendo Direct today! Here’s hoping for Metroid news.

Wishing you a gentle recovery.

[skjam]

Hoping you feel better soon.

[metadronos]

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

[zachbeacon]

Get well soon. Hopefully it's the short-lived kind.

[deh_tommy]

Well if I suddenly stop posting then at least you’ll know what happened to me, but I don’t feel like I’m dying so I’m sure I’ll be okay.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Everyone in a position of power swears the pandemic has been over for a couple years.

[scorntx]

Swears it's over? Pretty sure if some were asked now they'd just say there never was a pandemic in the first place.

[cainofdreaming]

Sure, the pandemic is over. Covid's now endemic for the whole world.

[zachbeacon]

Heatwave is over. Wildfires have begun.
