@sethmode:You have a good reason too. People with pre existing health conditions, immunocompromised, going into chemotherapy, going into surgery, dialysis et cetera should be very careful. The late Colin Powell had his vaccine and booster but his myeloma made his immune system so weak to fight COVID. It's up to the people around him to be mask and vaccinate, so we protect the vulnerable individuals.

@humanity:

I am aware of it. Just only talking about USA since I can't really talk about the other countries in terms of experiences in outreaching. I try to not use that word because management wants us canvassers and ambassadors to be open and not make the individuals feel discriminated or segregated.

Seeing all over the world - we are not ready to handle another pandemic.

I had that error in Comic Vine. I forget both sites share the same wiki system. I was uploading an screenshot that is the same as past title cards.

Congrats everyone! Nice Haikyuu. Kirby vore thing was so abundant on my Twitter feed. Great to see it mentioned in the spotlight.

For USA, I am afraid we have to live with it because this is a respiratory virus that is airborne and extremely contagious. Because we value individualism over collectivism compared to my home country which is Asian, it is harder to get people to mask up or vaccinate on top of the strange political/cultural issues that polarizes COVID-19. It has been 2 years or almost. The pandemic has not been easy as we face shortages of labor and supply making it even difficult to achieve stability.

This is from my experience working two jobs: one in the health industry and another - promoting the vaccine outreach out in the field. It baffles me why people are risking their lives. It is sad to see people dying every day when the vaccine is free. People in other countries pay to get their vaccines or travel to the USA to get vaccinated. It is so surreal.

I do hope it does end.

I did not expect out of all the Nintendo first party games to get an open world game would be Kirby. Look up 3D Kirby games, there was a canceled Gamecube game. Kirby Crystal Shards had some 3D elements but was still 2D. Kirby Air Ride's City Trial, while not a Kirby Platforming game, gave a glimpse of a 3D experience.

I am excited. Kirby games are mostly simplistic but can deliver a challenge. I don't think we see timed challenges given the setting.

Games of the Year: 2021

	2. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl I haven't finished beating the game. I can talk about the graphics and aesthetics which I find charming as it looks like toys.
	3. New Pokémon Snap While I loved the original, the new game is longer but slower paced. Unlike the original, there are no evolution scenes. The new game adds elements of illumination as its new major features.
	1. Tales of Arise I only got to play an hour or so. This latest iteration in the Tales of Franchise doesn't feel like Tales. I usually play Tales of games with the multiplayer option. My siblings love the game since the Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube. I am kind of mixed on it. I do embrace the new changes. This game is definitely different like how Breath of the Wild to its other Zelda games.
	4. Persona 5 Strikers I am big fan of musou spinoffs of anime based and Japanese video games like Zelda and One Piece. Never did play Dynasty Warriors which is the original musou game. I was surprised that this game doesn't have multiplayer.

Thank you!

I like Twilight Princess. One of the few Zelda games' stories that doesn't involve Zelda herself. It was all about Midna where you think about it. Link was Midna's companion, what you called it in the old American films, a manic pixie but Link is not one but he ultimately journeys with Midna. Darn, I cannot remember the story. Link was forced into due to a curse. He eventually got free of it. He still journeys with Midna to help her unconditionally.

I cannot remember much about dungeons but I do remember the snowy temple was probably my most frustrating one. As for challenges, it did bring back the gauntlet that Wind Waker had where you fight a slew of monsters. My favorite parts was that one strange part in the game where you snipe monsters in the desert going all Metal Gear Solid in a Legend of Zelda game.

I think Twilight Princess was one of the few Zelda games that had "fan service" in ecchi form with Hyrule Warriors showing the most fan service.

I believe the majority of folks who like it were probably the Midna/Link shippers. I remembered seeing a big manga spoiler weeks ago.

Controversial for me to say it as much as I love the franchise. I feel Kingdom Hearts 3 with a whopping 13 years. It might have been licensing issues but the game didn't feel complete or a Kingdom Hearts game like the past games.

This is where we put our submissions for the Spotlight articles?

I finished my list. I was only able to play 4 games for GOTY 2021.
