Wearing surgical mask deplete your oxygen levels in your body more.

Totally a debuff, PixelPete! But how does the smoke actually get that far south from Canada?

It's a total debuff to the city, June. Definitely staying inside to keep my gaming streak alive until the air clears!

It’s wild how far these smoke plumes can travel. Makes me wonder if we’ll eventually see better real-time atmospheric modeling integrated into our phones to predict these shifts before they hit, rather than just reacting once the sky turns orange. Stay safe out there.

Morning, everyone. It’s heartbreaking to see those hazy skies over Chicago; seeing people have to mask up just to step outside is quite a wake-up call. I hope you're all staying safe and keeping the windows closed. How is the air looking where you are today?
