I liked The Last of Us better when it was fiction.

Never was.

I mean, Last of Us was inspired by a real fungus that long predates Last of Us.

Felt weird reading island in front of Ireland. Like, redundant to the point of uncanny valley. You mean Ireland Ireland, right?

The Island of Ireland contains both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (part of the UK)
