General / Off-Topic Are you looking forwards to 2021?

VR jefranklin18 · Dec 30, 2020

In 2020, I lost my mother and a very close friend to cancer and a work colleague in the US to Covid, so I have hated 2020. How do I feel about 2021? The UK will possibly suffer under Brexit but will probably adapt in time, Odyssey will satisfy some and annoy others but it's only a game so will not be the end of the world (that will be Covid 20).

Edit: so I am completely ambivalent to 2021 nowadays.

I am hopeful that 2021 will end up as a whole better than 2020. I also really hope Odyssey lives up to it's hype. I'll be waiting for real gameplay videos and reviews and the wonderful forum posts here

No catch, because I live in Canada

I'm a bit indifferent about 2021.

I hope that once the vaccine gets distributed this horrible pandemic will come to an end.
I hope we'll be able to go outdoors again in a normal manner, visit family and friends, go to some nice restaurants, vacation, etc.
I'm never bored though, there are still plenty things you can do and I don't mean gaming although that's a nice distraction too.

Odyssey will probably be a nice addition to ED, for me personally not because of it's main focus combat though.

2021 will be worse. The next 9 years will be interesting times.

Is it wrong that I'm actually hoping for a nuclear war or, ideally, a zombie apocalypse?

CMDR Karrde Sun · Dec 31, 2020

Yeah i am. Good or bad odysee should keep us well entertained. Looking forward to it.

As for the vaccine, it is focused on making it less likely that people fall ill from Covid-19. It's not focused on stopping infection, so vaccinated people still spread infection pretty much like unvaccinated people that have no sympthoms..

With both Odyssey and a Covid vaccination program rolling out? Hell yes!

In 2020 we've reached the bottom of the barrel,from there can only get better.

There is a common phrase, you may have heard it before:

"Still, could be worse"

It can always be worse

Yep and I also said "well I think you are wrong but then we'll see" ,of course a stray asteroid could always land on Earth,an earthqake wave could strike hard,aliens could come from Proxima Centauri and so on,who knows?
