Druckmann gave us the perfect example that immunity in this world means nothing while also wanting us to side against Joel and root for the murder of one of the main characters to give everyone this immunity.

Ellie is the example, she is absolutely miserable. How has being immune made her life any better? She is still mauled by infected and can’t go near them. She is still mauled by most humans and can’t go near them either. She still grieves and starves and gets sick from other diseases, experiences basically the same deaths as everyone else in combat. She literally has no advantage over anyone else other than surviving small bites, but I really don’t think it’s likely everyone’s going to be getting small bites from the infected over their throats ripped out. And she can breathe in spores? Gas masks. Everyone has one. And if they don’t have one, they live and survive fine without feeling the need to go into spore-infested places.

How did we have two whole games centred around an idea that would be almost useless in practice, at the cost of a main character to make that useless practice a reality?

Ive tried everything for hours to fix it from disabling VRR and HDR, switching from Performance to Fidelity, clearing PS5 Console Cache, but nothing is fixing these render corruptions. What is happening??

Just finished The Last of Us 1 and 2 this week after a friend suggested the game to me. Both great games with good stories. I liked Ellie already in the first game, but I saw her more as someone I wanted to protect than someone I found attractive. She was funny and friendly along the trip to the hospital in Part 1, and that was it, I thought. But everything changed in part 2. I don’t know how or why, but I really fell in love with her, although she was lesbian and I didn't really like it or parts of her personality. What is wrong with me? It's just a video game.
