Whatis a significant change, however, is the much less time spent with moving out. With order-in food and groceries, baking at home, etc., now that I've counted back in the last three weeks I've only left the house two times...
And as Sovrath, I too put that extra time in looking at the screen: movies and series.
I wish I had delivery services like you, but I live in a small town of about 2500 folks. My delivery consists of 2 restaurants (Casey's and and an overly expensive sit down restaurant) here in town. I do have a local grocery but they charge more than the 2 gallons of gas to drive 25 miles (each way) to Wal-Mart for most items.
And GAS! It's down to almost $1.50 here!!!!

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse. - FARGIN_WAR

Living in a major city I've come to expect a certain level of services.
Imagine my surprise at Christmas when I arrived in my old home town, a small town, and was too late for hotel room service. No worries, I'll just order food to be delivered.
What followed was no food delivery, an excursion to the convenience store next door, finding out it was closed, and eating sesame sticks and kind bars for my Christmas Eve dinner.
I was never so happy to get back to "civilization!"

I grew up in an area close to a jungle. No running water or electricity when you like. Just generators so I appreciate every single luxury I have these days but I also miss my childhood.
I dont have any new found free time. I have a job, and I'm still doing that job, nothing has changed for me. But if I did I suppose I would be driving around spreading C19 and using all my free time to do it.
Drinking countless Monster Energy drinks and wondering why i can't sleep lol.
Goto comedy is always good for the soul...
Maniscalco,Caparulo "meet cap",Peters,Brian Reagan,John Pinette,Bret Ernst,Louie Anderson,Reg D Hunter has a great hour long skit out there. Love watching old Jay leno stuff when he goes on the street testing how dumb people are with simple questions.Some of the wrong answers people give to simple questions is just hilarious.

Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I tried to put on some suit pants and what do you know? They don't fit. Likely the coronasnacks.
If you put them on backwards, would they become a pant suit?
Running!

Volunteering weekly in my community, helping people cope with the isolation and other problems because of covid. Also playing lots of GW2. Also been working out more. Got me a set of Bowflex 552 weights and doing 5x5 weight training.
I've been playing my regular online games (The Elder Scrolls Online and Star Trek Online). And recently Red Dead Redemption 1 on my XBox 1.
I finished Red Dead Redemption 2 a few months back and decided to fire up the previous version. Totally loving it! I am about to load my winchester as we speak. lol
I just finished the Trails in the Sky trilogy. It was a long, arduous journey and many feels were had.
Olivier/Olivert is one of my favorite video game characters ever.
Now I'm starting Trails of Cold Steel and my early impressions are really positive.
I read this and went and decided to replay the Trails in the Sky just downloaded the first one off steam.
They really are special JRPGs. I only recently discovered Nihon Falcom with YS 8 Lacrimosa of Dana last year or early this year, but I admire their ambition.

I wish I could play the YS series but it is too hard for me. I cannot do that type of combat no matter how hard I wish it. I do love JRPGs so much. Every one I can play I buy even when I have not much time to play them.

Dana has an easy mode, and Hummel has a generous counter frame window, so you probably could clear the game.
That said, I recommend watching someone play the game if you truly can't play it. It's truly special, and if I had played it before my top 10 games of the decade/all time thread, it definitely would have landed on there.
Teaching my kid programming and game design by making gaming quiz programs. To get the screenshots for each game in the quizzes, we played the game ourselves. That meant a whole lot of setting up old systems and emulators. We have two done and we're working on a third (racing games) right now.

I actually lost weight during this lock down since I was doing different types of exercises to keep fit at home.
That said, I recommend watching someone play the game if you truly can't play it. It's truly special, and if I had played it before my top 10 games of the decade/all time thread, it definitely would have landed on there.
