    Default What to do in a boring lockdown world

    Hi everyone I'm posting this thread cause we all need help with this. Instead of just trying to get my superpowers from out of my dreams I bought an Alexa speaker and I just ask it "Alexa play video game music or "Alexa play 90s hip hop radio" or Alexa shuffle Eminem songs

    It keeps the stress levels low

    Also I was thinking to start playing online Xbox and playstation games, u really need that interaction with other humans

    Of course I'm going straight to the comic book store or online store. Any ideas fori lockdown guys/girls

    For me I read comics, I also got a Switch a Year ago so I have been playing video games and some retro games thanks to older systems.

    I also get my fresh air walking around my yard and around the the house.

    Write. Create. Lockdowns place us in a spot where our contacts are strictly limited and we are forced to examine what we have and who we are.

    When was the last time people wrote actual letters to friends or family?
    (No, not an email!)


    Just think how much joy you can bring to somebody else by writing them a personal letter that they get delivered to their mailbox by an actual, honest-to-your-preferred-diety postal carrier?

    There are many free or low cost online classes. If you ever have wanted to learn how to do something, and you find yourself with a lot fo free time and no where to go, consider signing up to learn a new skill or even get a course completion certificate.

    I've started writing a brief diary and taking my hand at some poetry. Also, wildlife photography and some limited hiking, where I can do it. Also I'm involved in two online D&D games, which breaks up some of the monotony.

    Football season is starting today, so that will keep me somewhat occupied too.

    You should read Jonathan Franzen's short story about the post office of Chicago. Its a hoot.
