Since I signed papers at work the other day, i'm out until further notice because of the virus .
Ironically things are working out well because I got a big old tumor removed from my brain last week (zero cancer in my body, but get full results on Wednesday). The medication is giving me insomnia, however as great as I feel I lost a level of concentration to play any games.....
I started back on "Dungeons and Dragons Online" but only 10 minuets here, half hour there. Seems OK, but F2P/ subscription is a little screwy compared to most. Sub only gets you free adventure pacts and a chance to do dungeons starting above normal difficulty, They remove an "irritant" if you pay for the sub..... Strange perks for subscribing.
They have a deal going on anyway where you get the expansions for free for long while, and you would have to play for several weeks for it to be noticeable so it doesn't help in my case.
Weather is beautiful, here in the country and I'm learning how to raise eight chickens that are growing in my living room, they love following my wife around the house like their mother. Wife is taking to them well. Thursday, if all goes well with the results I'll be building my chicken coop because I'm I'm all about chickens for now
This morning when the sun comes up I plan on taking a walk to a pond on top of the hill that's considered private property. If I find an open spot around the vegetation, I'll buy cheap fishing equipment on Amazon and sneak fish, and try not to get cough. Getting away with it will be half the fun and seems harmless, strange because I'm sure I would just have to ask
Another hobby since thy cracked my skull open is call everyone and tell them how much I love everyone. I'm on a spiritual kick. Hay I even love you people too even if you bust my balls.
I'm also comparing all browsers. I seem to like the simplicity of Opera the best, however it's still pleasantly customizatable. Microsoft Edge is BY FAR the worst EXTREMELY INTRUSIVE AND OVERLY COMPLICATED. Wife uses Chrome, I like that too.... also experimenting with a new one called Brave, but the verdict is still out, seems mah but lets see if it has any hidden cool features. Firefox is great too, but been using it for years and tired of it with no good reason.
Last hobby,,,,, I realized how easy it is to e-mail YouTubers and ask them questions about what ever their promoting.... Mostly chickens and Dungeons and Dragons Online....... Most seem pleasantly happy to help. With this, one can get a deeper level of learning stuff.
How are you people doing ?

It will have you on a no holds barr looting rampage if you read it !
Facebook has everyone dead too.... People's perspective seems grim.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
I'm a major Youtube watcher, but often I run out of topics:
Extra little tip... "sign out" to get better at random videos.
-Alien Abductions / UFO's
-Garage storage ideas
-DiY wood projects
-Cast iron pan cooking, I've been making the best boneless chicken and vegetables, even the burnt smell around the house is nice ironically.
-Car dealership scams, and tips (lots of good investigative undercover videos to watch)
-Locked Up Abroad. Lots of full episodes. These people are screwed in third world countries.
-Mini mart hold ups/Off duty cops are nice too.
-inmate prison documentaries, good for awhile, but their mostly all the same. Russian prisons are the best.
-Saturday Night Live off takes are great.
-Sovereign citizen vs. cops / judge are fun, they always have to get dragged out.
-Life inside North Korea
-nuclear submarine documentaries
-USMC boot camp. Better Navy Seal forces training.
-Roller Coaster riding in 4K will make you afraid of them.
-Joe Biden not making any sense is often fun, but embarrassing. One video said no one could even find him for the entire day.
stay away from pet's it will over flood the topics (too many)
stay away from CNN news (fake news).
Unfortunately a mass flood about the virus, it's hard to avoid (Bill Gates is getting too crazy).
>Guga Foods / Sous vide everything is a great cooking channel. My steak game has gone to another level and I was already a legend.
>Aquaholic yachts tours are pretty neat
>The Fast Lane/TFL Ike Gauntlet videos about truck towing capabilities are rather interesting
>Blockhead is a motorcycle channel that got me back into riding after a long break following my accident.
>The_Chieftan is a military vehicle historian and expert.
>Lindybeige is a historical youtuber and often does interesting videos about psychology of warfare (for example, most soldiers don't actually fight to kill)
>Unbiased History /Dovahhatty is hilarious and informative. His video on the 5 good emperors is legendary
>Spacedock is a SciFi channel focusing primarily on spaceships
>Live PD it's COPS! without the theme song
>ten second songs is a channel that sings popular songs in the styles of other artists. Some of them are pretty good.
>Brave Wilderness travels the world getting stung to see how much it sucks. Spoiler it sucks a lot.
>Demolition Ranch blows stuff up and shoots holes in it... for "science"... yeah... science.
Have not yet though. Maybe there is hope?
Nah there is really none for me or the human race.
- I work from home now for 30 hours a week
- We do daily schoolwork with the kids, they got a home schooling package from their teacher
- We are doing our garden, putting in a lawn etc.
- I play games an hour or 2 a day
- I cook every day focussing on fun and healthy food.
- I bought a nice collection of physical games to play with the kids when all of this started
Besides that we put a daily schedule on the living room door to maintain somewhat of a routine for the kids.

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'
Gdemami absolutely not being an armchair developer
I have a tiny narrow terrace in my flat so nowhere to even just sit and enjoy the outside. At times like this people with gardens are so lucky.
I think a societal collapse, in part media instigated, is an equal danger at this point if we don't watch ourselves.

Atlas still flounders along on 3,435, poor thing.
Theirs a super quality X-com style game called "Phoenix Point", I have my eye on. They refuse to advertise on Steam, so you have to find it......Looks better actually
At least all you guys seem to not be doing anything stupid, stay safe. I do wonder though how long will people be prepaired to live this way it is unpecedected? If this is still going on in a couple of months psychologicaly it will get very strained and physiclaly temparatures will be soaring.
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
