Corona virus

Were I still playing PoE, I'd be more concerned about the CDN and gateways than anything in the relatively well-contained and led New Zealand. Those are what keep the game up and running, not so much the people developing it. And we've seen both have problems at the best of times...which these times most definitely are not.

LOL at the this ludicrous 'demand return to normal' claim. What are you going to do, go on strike if the pandemic doesn't bend to your will? Sue it? Shoot it with your dazzling excess of lethal weaponry?

Goodness, I don't imagine there'll be much demand for pools given Covid-19 is transmitted via droplets...

My non-gamer gf occupied the Switch (thanks Animal Crossing) and I can't buy a new one because all the stores are closed and Amazon delivery times are non-existant. Such is life during a pandemic.

Also that dig at Aim's livelyhood is low but also well deserved :D

This is the silliest thing I ever seen shutting down whole economy for less than flu season deaths.

The thing about this is that it is not done spreading yet. Comparing less than flu season deaths is a bit premature. Wait for the peak, it is going to get much worse. All the experts who seem to think this is a big fuckin deal are, you know, experts. I think I'll take their advice and try to keep myself safe for as long as I can so I am not adding to the spread.

Yeah, the GFiancee is blazing through Animal Crossing on the Switch downstairs or in bed (what an incredible little device it is) and I think it's a wonderful way to disconnect and just play with other people eager to chill. I'm mostly on PC so we're pretty good at domestic 'separation' as it is.

Oh, is that what it was? I was just musing about an industry that came to mind, and how people working in that industry would probably be quite upset over this pesky pandemic getting in the way of their money-making, about which I believe some of them have bragged in the past. Oh well, I'm sure they were very smart with that well-earned wealth and saved it for this very, very rainy day that's not going to stop for months yet.

three weeks. hahahaha. k.

Consider it a blessing. You now have the opportunity to convert your non-gamer gf into a gamer gf. Upgrade your relationship! xD

Also, ewww Animal Crossing!!

Here's the thing gamer couples will never think to tell you: it is CRUCIAL that you have enough devices/consoles not only to share but to play separately. Because no true gamer likes sharing or taking turns. We tolerate it if the game is good enough, but at heart, eventually we like to just have a serious monogamous engagement with that game itself.

This is obviously why gamer+non-gamer is about as likely as addict+non-addict. When they say 'the family that plays together, stays together', what they really mean is 'the family that *sometimes* plays together, *sometimes* stays together'.

Ok, for the record, I consider myself a Corona Virus "truther".

Just a little bit of backstory. I actually got the virus, and recovered from it with extremely mild symptoms. I didn't realize this until yesterday when I gave some blood to a clinic (I was paid, I'm not donating shit). They said I had antibodies for the coronavirus in my system. They asked me if I had been sick, and I was like uh, not really? I had a mild case of a runny nose, and maybe my throat was a little sore for one day, but that's it. This is common cold symptoms!

Yeah I'm sure that happened. Might be believe coming from people without your sort of posting history.
