Real life stuff

As news of a few hours ago: the entire country is in lockdown due to the virus -- to slow the spread enough to not completely crash the health system, which is already overhelmed.

I'm not worried about myself, but I have a husband with chronic conditions and parents and in-laws old enough to be at risk just for that. And of course there's people behaving like complete *%&£#! and thus putting at risk everyone else.

hnnnnrghhhhh I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Anyway. Escapism, I need escapism. So, if anyone is interested to see me play Marathon I might try on Twitch... and show how spectacularly bad I am at it.

I really hope nobody in your family catches it... (Dad's not too worried--at least not enough to ever think of Stephen King's The Stand like I've sometimes been doing recently--but as of this writing, only about fifteen states don't have any confirmed cases of coronovirus, and because our Idiot-in-Chief hamstrung the CDC, I expect that number to swiftly plummet to "zero". And unlike Italy, we're apparently not taking ANY formal precautions/measures to slow its transmission! Better hope other people remember to wash their hands!)

Probably missed the twitch stream by a country mile (and no account, so I can't interact anyway), but I'm frequently available to talk with on Discord if you want to. XD;

At least one thing that came out of this mess... well, I'm among the ones who isn't in essential services and operations, so I have to stay at home. I can also work from home, too. Alas, I had two (quite big) jobs postponed due to the domino effect of the business sector nearly grinding to a halt so... anyway, that's the reason of the "Marathon in cartoon style" projects :)

Next time I'll try to stream Marathon I'll try also to remember to tell here on Dreamwidth :) (I usually draw, because I'm such a bad player that I'm a bit embarrassed to show to anyone...)

I'm so sorry. D: All sympathies, and I hope you and your family all come through this safely. (Wish I could have joined in on the Twitch stream!)

Thank you :)

...ooops, advertising my streams with a bit of advance (or at all) might be something I should do :D

Hehe. XD; (How is that project going? I'm currently about 3/4ths done with my own sprite-editing project, assuming that I just need to take care of the Hunters...)

I posted everything I did until now, I think I'll keep the post updated whenever I can!

All the free time now is eaten by the absolutely insane queues we all have to do to get groceries, utilities and medications (social distancing and having to compile a bunch of permits to justify the aforementioned); and I'm the only one outside a high risk group between parents, husband and in-laws, so I'm the one who has to do ALL the things, and with my great surprise -- and also a bit of relief -- some commission and a bit of work came in... the only thing left to do is gather the brainpower to keep going.
