Dishonored isn't really steampunk just Victorian with anachronisms.

Or rather it is a Victorian High fantasy setting.

Especially since the technology you see in the game is actually electronic in nature.

Might not the Owl have told the Vickers about your interest in the Witcherings?

She's literally within 3 feet of me or less at all times. Unless I'm in the bathroom. I... I don't see how!

(Plus she's actually pretty shy around vicky

Why do some stories insist on being allegorical.

Why not? It's called inspiration. Unless you're talking stories which just shoehorn references to the real world in.

In response to the MERS scare, Korean government issues message that effectively says "every man for themselves."



The only things it keeps talking about are things that an individual does, like wash their hands, don't go outside, don't eat camel stuff... nothing about how the government will do something to stop the scare, nothing at allll.

Heck, they're so scared to act that the Seoul mayor overrid the gov't authority and released the list of hospitals where MERS was spreading like wildfire. The gov't belatedly released that very list the next day :P

Are people strongly freaking out about the whole MERS thing? It keeps popping up in my news feed, but it says there's only about 150 infected. Is it much of a threat or is it just another bird flu whatever?

Never underestimate peoples' ability to blow things out of proportion. In Christchurch we had half a dozen minor cases of Legionnaire's disease about a month ago, but the DHB only announced it to the public a few days back. Cue shitstorm, half the people freaking out because it's clearly a massive outbreak and will reduce the city to a ghost town, and the other half freaking out because it was clearly wrong for the DHB to keep it under wraps to try to avoid such a shitstorm.

Very freaked out. Probably because it's highly contagious.

They have good reason to be freaked out.

1) SK is a modernized (Densely populated population centers with rapid transit being NECESSARY for economic stability) country.
2) SK is tropical/semi-tropical, so you don't get seasonal dieoffs the same way you get in temperate and polar regions, which means MERS has a constant animal vector to stay at infectious levels.
3) MERS is HIGHLY contagious.


The most effective strategies to controlling MERS, such as quarantines and curfews, limit citizen mobility--- that would seriously damage their economy, and without a strong economy, they would not be able to mobilize the capital needed to combat a systemic outbreak.

That's why they are asking their citizens to voluntarily limit their travel, voluntarily impose a self-curfew, etc-- That would simply slow economic activity rather than bring it to a grinding halt, and perhpas might give some limited benefit in controlling the spread of MERS outside of affected areas.

Personally, I am wondering when SK is going to start issuing microparticle masks A-La Tank Police.
