What to Know About the New #COVID-19 #Variant NB.1.8.1

It's still part of the Omicron family, which means that current vaccines and immunity from recent infections should provide some protection against serious disease

Vaccination can increase the chances to avoid severe disease, since the current vaccine still protects against viruses related to NB.1.8.1. That’s especially true for people at higher risk, including older people and those with weakened immune systems

There’s a new #COVID #variant driving up #infections. A virologist explains what to know about #NB181 https://theconversation.com/theres-a-new-covid-variant-driving-up-infections-a-virologist-explains-what-to-know-about-nb-1-8-1-257552

Of cases sequenced up to May 6 across Australia, NB.1.8.1 ranged from less than 10% in South Australia to more than 40% in Victoria.

Getting ready to release a new version of my #zangband #variant #ZdashAngband #MacheteEdition ---> 0.6 !! Featuring more monsters! More objects for added flavourful runs! More Artifacts and Uniques! And, a new race, the Kenku!
...this opens a debate, should I get out the races' selection, others that nobody plays with? Imps? Spectres?
What two races could I switch for those mentioned above? @jake4480 @juliancday any favourite, since Kenkus don't appeal you?

#traditionalroguelike #ZdashAngband #MacheteEdition fckn love how this long a$$ project is coming to life! I'm biased lol but this gameplay is thee Best I've seen in long times playing #Angband and forks. The character re-balancing, the freshly re-worked monsters (under 90 to full completion!) the visuals oh em gee I'm in love.
So far only one bug. Could I release with one bug? #roguelike #fork #variant

My head is throbbing after so many hours going through code and file after file to understand how to #zangband works. Writing down bunches of ideas and then moving them into the "reforging" (for lack of a better fitting word) of my clone. Several revamped visuals, couple bugs smashed, some QoL implementations done and a fair bunch of added stuff, are already fitted and being tested.
