There is more COVID-19 transmission today (January 2024) than during 94.7% of the pandemic.

💉 Please get the updated (new, not a booster) Covid vaccine. If you're in the US, ask your local pharmacy about the Bridge Access Program for free vaccines. You can also search vaccines.gov then select Bridge Access Program participant.

If you do not want an mRNA vaccine for whatever reason, consider Novavax: it is protein-based like other typical vaccines from the last few decades, and many (including myself) report minimal side effects. Talk to your doctor if you have questions or concerns.

😷 Wear a mask in public and/or any enclosed areas. "Mask" means a respirator of KN95/N95 filtration or higher, not a cloth or surgical (blue) mask. Covid is airborne, so an airtight seal and particulate filter is necessary for protection. Different kinds of respirators are used for everything from toxic fumes to asbestos removal; when worn properly, they greatly reduce risk.

Here is a guide for proper use and fitting of a respiratory mask.

Here is a short video by 3M (respirator manufacturer) on the importance of fit-testing.

🧪 Have tests ready. With the new variants it can sometimes take 5-8 days to test positive, so be sure to test twice, 48 hours apart. If you're in the US, you can get 4 free rapid tests sent to your home through USPS. Local schools and libraries also may have free rapid tests. If you qualify for the Test to Treat program, you can receive free at-home NAAT tests and treatment for both flu AND Covid, and access to telehealth. The earlier you test positive, the more likely you will be eligible for treatment with Paxlovid.

🔁 If you can afford it, air purifiers and HEPA filters can help reduce transmission. Making a Corsi-Rosenthal box is simple and inexpensive. If weather permits, keeping windows open helps. Ventilation allows fresh air to circulate.

👃 Nasal sprays and CPC mouthwash are other useful prophylactic measures when used in conjunction with PPE and other modes of mitigation like masking and distancing.

🚬There is still a risk of Covid when outside, similar to exposure from secondhand smoke or a fire. Since Covid is spread through aerosols, it can hang in the air like smoke.

🐶 As with other coronaviruses, many household pets can get Covid. If you have been exposed, avoid contact with animals.

"But I'm not old or weak. Why should I care?"

☣ Covid can still kill you or disable you for life, even if your initial sickness is "mild". Even if you are young and have no preexisting conditions. 90% of the original "long haulers" had "mild" cases.

🩺 Covid increases your risk of stroke, blood clots, and heart disease by 2 to 5 times within a year of infection. It can also cause brain damage, which is part of the loss of taste and smell and cognitive symptoms like brain fog.

🩸 Covid is able to infect multiple organ systems because it travels through the bloodstream and attacks the mitochondria, leading to dysfunction and chronic fatigue.

⚠ Reinfection doesn't make your body better at fighting Covid; it just does more damage to your immune system, akin to HIV. A damaged immune system is worse at fighting off illness, more susceptible to infection, and can lead to serious complications like pneumonia. And with every reinfection, your chances of developing Long Covid increase. Therefore, the best protection for your immune system is to avoid getting Covid as much as possible.

I know everyone is tired of this. But if there was any time to be vigilant, it is now. Please, let's protect each other.

⚠ beware of MALWARE that have infected multiple mods for the sims

Recently different mods were uploaded/updated under fake accounts or through hacking existing accounts of trusted creators, that have been infected with malware. The malware hides in the scripted package of the script mods, it downloads and run an unknown exe file silently without the user knowing. Because it's an exe file, Mac and Linux users might be exempted for now. The goal of the virus is to steal a vast amount of your data and saved passwords. (For a full explanation and to stay updated on the problem check out sims after dark: https://simsafterdark.com/malware-warning/) 🔸 the awesome modder TwistedMexi has recently released something called ModGuard, this tool scans your mods folder and blocks suspicious items. If you want to have it install it directly from TwistedMexi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/98126153 🔸 known mods to have been affected at some point recently:

“Cult Mod v2” uploaded to ModTheSims by PimpMySims (impostor account)

“Social Events – Unlimited Time” uploaded to CurseForge by MySims4 (single-use account)

“Weather and Forecast Cheat Menu” uploaded to The Sims Resource by MSQSIMS (hacked, real account)

🔸 if you have downloaded these mods recently delete them ASAP!

Overwolf made a tool that can remove the installed virus: https://github.com/overwolf/sims4-social-events-cleaner/releases/tag/1.1

Change all your passwords etc immediately!

You might need to contact your bank to tell them your credit card info is no longer secure. Some banks give you the opportunity to report suspicious activity. In case you do not trust it, just block your card and request a new one.

one of my favorite things is the live chat replay for the ultrakill act II full ost premiere.

things get interest around when The Abyss and The Serpent plays, the track for when you're fighting the leviathan:

at around 37:26, a user types ⚠ LEVIATHAN ACTIVITY ⚠ twice in quick succession. an innocuous enough message.

someone decides to copy-paste it a few seconds later.

hakita, lead dev and composer, posts a comment regarding that track, as he had been doing for every track thus far.

meanwhile the first signs of infection are present.

⚠ GOOBER ⚠ is a reference to a gif, which ⚠ LEVIATHAN ACTIVITY ⚠ presumably was inspired by.

the levels of ⚠ LEVIATHAN ACTIVITY ⚠ continued to increase.

believe it or not, it had yet to reach full strength. hakita continues to commentate but finds his insight into the production of the music juxtaposed against the spam:

at some select moments, you could find the entire chat window to be nothing but warnings of ⚠ leviathan activity ⚠.

hakita, as much as he is a queer shitposter with his finger on the pulse of the retro FPS community, has yet to acknowledge the ⚠ activity of the leviathan ⚠, instead ignoring it and providing more commentary. on the bright side, this meant the message wasn't being forbidden, although it would be excessive to employ such moderation measures against a pre-recorded premiere stream anyway. hakita is not anti-fun; if the ⚠ leviathan was active ⚠ and you wanted to post about it, you were allowed to.

the song ends. the leviathan is no longer active. the spam seems to die down as Chord of the Crooked Saints begins to play.

it seems to be dead. not only is the leviathan no longer active, the entire tone of the ost has shifted. The Abyss and The Serpent was the last track of the wrath layer, a water-themed layer nearly the polar opposite of the next layer, the heresy layer.

and yet from the ashes, a new type of ⚠ activity ⚠ rises. you see, Chord of the Crooked Saints is a drone. it has no melody or percussion, it is simply a continuous sound which is played as soon as you enter heresy, which has quite possibly the most metal and badass introduction to any layer. Chord of the Crooked Saints is infamous because it is part of what made the introduction to heresy so jarring and memorable.

of course, the law of the internet states that the better something is and the harder it goes, the more likely people are to be silly about it.

going forward, this would be the entire stream, for what little music there was left in the OST:

hakita could no longer withstand the levels of ⚠ activity ⚠.

a reference to a weird fucking creature thing named "armboy" that hakita hid as an easter egg out of bounds in heresy.

and this is how the stream would continue. various new types of ⚠ activity ⚠ would be detected and posted about en masse, ad nauseum. it was glorious.

my versions of pibby ( redesigns )

( "so in about 5 days ago, i heard of pibby show was been cancelled of the year got reject by adult swim because of this crossover show like warner bros, cartoon network and even nickelodeon characters of franchise, and i know it's very sad news of pibby tv series.. but i wanna to decide to my versions AU of pibby, well pibby is going to be a survivor herself and along with bun bun which means he will be survival too, and some other fandoms like indie games, website series (like welcome home puppet or others too?..), villains antagonist characters who won't get infects corrupted by glitches darkness or not (?) and others too. and i just wanna to designs of pibby and bun bun of my own versions AU or 2nd AU." )

( i hope you like it or not?, it's your choices but.. it's okay.. )

fun facts about my versions of pibby Au:

- "i add ages of them, pibby is 12 years old and her heights is" 4'11 " cm 150 and bun bun is 7 years old and his heights is " 3' 10.9 " cm 119. "

- "pibby is way too young to fight with them just like a canon one, but in my version pibby and bun bun will be survival theirselves. "

- "when pibby has bandages around her right eye got accident hurt by darkness glitch but.. she stills alive, not hurt infected herself, and bun bun has bandages around his eyes got cover cause accident by darkness glitch too.."

- "in my versions AU pibby, bun bun will not going to be villain or evil corrupted infected monster himself like a canon one, he will be survival one along with pibby and the others too."

- "pibby thinks bun bun is like little brother to him, and bun bun thinks pibby thinks is her best friend is most like his big sister to her."

- "pibby doesn't have any sword with her, she's only has a back pack it has medical supplies, bandages and others stuffs too to during apocalypse."
