From what I understand that's, like... the major goal of the vaccine. It's less about outright immunity and more about making it stop killing people (and making them less virulent). Them being only mildly ill is exactly the point of the vaccination, heh.

One with a history in the US, in particular. It's not a general statement, per se.

... man, after looking at that word with askance several times, I finally checked what the hell a "benevodon" is ('cause it sure as hell wasn't in the non-official localization, presumably for reasons obvious just by looking at it or saying the word out loud), and, like. Holy shit that is a worse translation than God-beast. Somehow makes my interest in playing the 3d remake even lower

Sounds like you're enjoying it well enough if you've made it that far into the game, though.

Eh, there's been a few since, actually... especially since VR has come around, some of which very much taps into that whole jank-as-hell slashfest vibe.

Pretty sure there was stuff with a similar concept (fairly detailed/physics-based-ish swordfighting) prior to it, too, for that matter. It was definitely a major benchmark for that sort of design, though.

Folks have largely always taken things pretty damn personally, though, up to and including straight up murdering or maiming people over insults with official state sanction (duelling and similar shit). It's not some sort of unique trend of the modern era. Awareness of all the crap going on and/or the fact it's not actually someone else's problem is signal boosting it on several fronts, but the base signal's not changed much.

... anyway, statements about grit is mostly just horseshit from older people trying to piss on the accomplishments and troubles of younger generations, from what I've seen, with a hefty dose of rose-tinted evaluation of a past they've forgotten parts of, if they actually lived it at all. Tis bupkis, in practice.

Stateside cops have largely not been found to have a duty of public care, no, last I noticed. For what that's worth. Courts usually look at kind of thing and decide in the favor of the cop throwing folks under a bus. It's somewhere in that general constellation of messes that let them lie to you with more or less absolute impunity under most circumstances. They're not there to help you in particular, by and large.

... and if that sounds like absolute horseshit to you, well. Welcome to the state of US law enforcement. It's pretty damn horseshit!

It's a lot easier to un-cut pizza than it is foreskin, for what it's worth. You can functionally fit pizza back together just by piling up the right kind of cheese at the seams and melting it a bit. You can also chop the pizza up further and then use it as a topping for another pizza, which you don't cut.

Trying those with the other option just ends up with someone in the hospital.
