COVID-19 has my job shut down and sitting around at home for the next couple weeks. Help me out with some good time sink recommendations lads.
I'm looking for horror games and RPGs, but will take whatever you got. Currently slogging through DQXI and Daemon X Machina.

what was your job?
if you got the chance try Darkest dungeon, seems like the perfect time waster with some RPG
Slender The Arrival
Dementium 2 The Ward
Moon 3DS
Poor Alice, sometimes I get nostalgic for old CC stuff and then remember the fallout.
I miss Crystal Castles.
My job hasnt shut down, but I have a license to stay at home for about a month, but the thing is, theyre upping the pay by 2 more dollars through April. Also, theres lots of open shifts too. What do? On the one hand it'd be nice to not do shit, but on the other its open season for money right now. Pic unrelated.
On-site IT at a big pharma company. Working remotely, but seeing as how everyone else is too, I have very little to do.
Me too. Met her once.
I've played this, but thanks for reminding me, since I never beat it. Will definitely play re-download it.
Not a bad idea. Played around with Granblue and Spawn in MK11. May go back.
Is Slender actually a good game? I haven't heard of the other 2.
Games are a waste of time in this instance. Take this time to learn new applicable skills. The economy will be ruined for a good while so now's the time to strengthen yourself.
maybe try Lobotomy Corp? might take your mid of this shit that's going on
I think I'm good, but what skills do you recommend? I'm an IT guy.
I don't know anything about that, what's that like? I'm open to anything.
Slender The Arrival is good for a playthrough, but not the original.
Dementium 2 is like a Silent Hill style FPS for the original DS, and it's quite good.
Moon Chronicles is sci-fi horror FPS for the 3DS

that was supposed to have been quite good. Always wanted to play it.
I'm playing Final Fantasy 12 for the first time and it's been a pretty neat timesink, I'm really enjoying the characters and setting. Combat is super comfy, you tell your characters what to do in certain situations like "cast cure when any party member falls below 60% hp" so if you're smart enough with setting the shit up, you can fully automate many of the fights. I've never played an RPG with these types of mechanics, it's been a refreshing experience so far and I'm only about 20 hours into it.
Just jerk off for 8 hours a day like a normal person.
FF12 is fucking excellent. Glad you're enjoying it, I've been a longtime fan. What are you playing it on? Also try the first dragon age or Baldur's gate if the gambits are cool to you.
Is this the corona thread? Alright Yas Forums I'm glad you exist cause the anonymity makes it easy to say what I really feel. Why is society stopping over the fucking elderly? Let the elderly fucking die. There is an overpopulation problem. We will come out of this much richer if we coffin the codgers sooner than later. Corona is a blessing and the course of nature but Man has to wipe his ass on Mother Nature like always
>Why is society taking steps to avoid death and plague?
You're an idiot. Also young people can still get SICK even if they don't die, making any company that didn't take precautions liable. That's really the whole thing.
All the other smoothbrains are just panicking, which has a serious trickle down effect on any modern society. These steps are necessary, but they aren't permanent. Just ride it out.
Well there's always programming, languages and calisthenics. Anything actually beneficial and possibly applicable to other jobs will do. The main point here is just playing games in isolation will erode you over time.
Cool, thanks. I'll take a look at some of these. Currently forcing myself through Dead Space 3, but I couldn't tell you why.
You aren't wrong, but I think a couple of weeks won't hurt. But yeah, I think I should try to start a language course or something.
>work at grocery store for barely over minimum wage
>store getting swarmed by hundreds of sheeple per day because every other store got picked over by the hoarders
>store not only isn't closing but because of how busy it is but I have to work overtime
>being exposed to so many people means im pretty much guaranteed to get sick
>live with family members that are sick with other stuff so me getting it has a chance of killing them
>cant quit my job because not only do I have bills to pay but most stuff is going to be closed so I can't really get hired by anything else
god what a fucking shitshow this whole thing is
I have several half-gallons of bourbon and other stuff, I'll be fine.
Tummy.
>tfw you work for a healthcare distributor so no time off
>actually busier than ever
I feel for you dude, for real.
I'm pretty sure I have it. No cough or other respiratory issues but I've been feeling aches over my whole body the last couple days, the kind of aches that always accompany fever. Last night I felt slightly feverish. I work at a hospital that has at least 2 confirmed cases, and part of my job is to handle bags of soiled linen.
I gotta warn you to not go back in as my civic duty, but I don't know your circumstances.
Lucky bastard, enjoy your paid vacation bro.
I've just been sent to work from home like all the other white collars. Always plenty to do, but twice as hard to muster the motivation from home - really just want to get fucked up and game...
I need more alchohol.
>Having all the time in the world to drink play games and jerk off but your girlfriend is also working from home
It's an abstract kind of hell.
even if the disease hypothetically killed off everyone over the age of 40 it wouldn't make much of a difference on the overall population growth because people have/had kids young. if corona had an infertility symptom that affected a percentage of people it would probably be a different story though.
least you're doing something to cure these buncha pricks user
Appreciate it bro, I will. Yeah, I used to work from home. hardest part is just getting going and finding a groove. I'd recommend going somewhere public to work, as that helped me, but uh....well.
Should've went to college, fuckface. Classes are cancelled so I don't have to look at my students, but my advisor fucking high tailed it to bumfuck New Mexico or someshit because "the pope didn't catch the plague because they had fire all around him, did you know that Mr McAnonymous? You did? Oh. Well. See ya later, alligator. Going to New Mexico. Don't expect any communications, only call in case of dire emergency like our funding being cut." The fruit is probably in a resort oogling underage boys while his wife is getting a facial from Juan Marquez de la Rosas while I'm sitting here for 20 hours a fucking day trying to keep the ship afloat. I don't even have time to jerk off to my students' instagrams.
Anyway, I make about 2000 bucks a month and it's easy money. Ain't gotta stock shelves. Think about getting a federal grant, the FAFSA grants for poor people, for a process operator certificate those fucks make six figures and are dumb as hell. They have flexible scheduling as far as classes go. I know, I helped build those programs.
>About to finish my training as an orderly
>Get hard thinking about how I'm gonna work during an epidemic one in a lifetime chance !
>user ITS AN EPIDEMIC GO HOME MAN SCHOOLS OVER
I feel genuine disappointment I wanted to work hard take care of people
>[finally] have all the time in the world to drink, play games, and jerk off, but your girlfriend is also working from home
>no alcohol
>no gf
>no fun found in vidya anymore
>jerking off just makes me feel even more lonely
I work in TV and I'm completely fucking burnt out right now. Fucking joy has been sucked out of me, and about the only videogame I can play right now without stopping immediately is Vice City.
I hope everyone's doing well.
>completely fucking burnt out right now
that from the daily grind or is the virus making you work overtime mate?
just because you probably won’t die from getting it doesn’t mean you won’t suffer permanent lung and testicular damage, overburden the medical system and spread it around
fucking retard
I'm playing it on Steam, they give you some cheat codes like Unlimited Gil and Unlimited License Points but that seems like something I'd use if I ever do newgame+, the progression in the game has felt very fair, and if I ever need to grind I can just turn on the x4 speed for VERY comfy grinding. I enjoy.
I have played Dragon Age but never got into it, maybe I'll give it a 2nd chance. Thanks for the recommendation user.
If you keep your BAC high enough, anything that tries to invade your system will be burned away.
Yeah man, that's the choice i'm struggling with now. Yeah I feel under the weather, but it's really not that bad and I'm not scared of dying or anything, but I feel like it's morally incumbent on me to stay home and see my infection stays with me. Plus the money isn't really an issue. On the other hand the hospital needs all hands more than ever.
And OF COURSE my fucking harddrive died yesterday and I can't even play games. Got nothing to do at home.
There's no overpopulation problem you fucking idiot. Following your arguments we'd be blessed if there was a pandemic only in Africa and China, because that's where the "overpopulation" comes from.
>Have to go out and get food and other supplies
>Used to always buy hand wash but can't even find one now
The shops here should have been putting a god damned limit on shit as soon as they could.
Once this shit finishes people need to remember that China is entirely to fucking blame for this shit and should be fucking held responsible for it. This is bad enough but in the future something worse could end up coming.
>tfw might lose my job soon
>tfw stocked up on stuff 2 months ago
>got tons of booze and liquor
>tfw I'll have way more free time
>tfw I can get comfy as fuck, playing vidya, and writing porn for threads on /trash/.
Lads, this is peak comfy.
>Let the elderly fucking die.
I'll get back to you when you can be considered elderly, you soulless automaton
I'm just comfyplaying Teamfight Tactics with my bros, going through another playthrough of New Vegas, gonna finally play sekiro and eye divine cybermancy
Other than that I'm working out, drinking cider and reading
/comfy/
Thank god I have a dog so I can go out without being fined by the cops.
It's both, early shifts and late hours, but also since it's national news, I don't ever get a break from everything related to the topic. It's all I hear and it's all anyone talks about to the point where simple distraction isn't cutting it anymore.
Beyond that I also work in a retirement community in their TV station and that place is all hands on deck to do whatever you can to keep these people satisfied, which if you've ever worked with the elderly is damn near impossible sometimes cause nothing is ever good enough. So instead of doing what I do and can do (of which our leadership is throwing more responsibility at) I'm also being given mandatory shifts to act as a concierge individually delivering packages and shit all day cause Amazon isn't allowed in the buildings.
It's just a lot and I'm tired my man. I'm lucky I'm able to work right now and situationally where I'm at, but it's just a lot. I don't know how I'll keep up with it all without a full on break down if this does go until May.
>without being fined by the cops
you guys are getting fined? but why?
>Get two weeks of paid sick leave if I show symptoms, don't even need evidence
>Still feel obligated to come in
So that's it then i'm a full blown domesticated wagie huh
>county shutting down
>offices closing
>non-essential departments getting reduced days/hours but still full pay
>my department gets jack shit
What a literal trash job I have.
Persona 5 is incredible, if you lack a ps4 strong recommend persona 4 on a ps2 emulator. They're the best JRPGS ever made and incredibly long/life consuming. Perfect quarantine kino.
America is a joke, user.
I'm in Spain, Canary Islands to be exact.
500-2000 euros of a fine if you go to the street. We need to carry IDs, because they show where we live. There's cops everywhere, and if I go out
>I need to be walking the dog
>demonstrate my ID with house address and show I'm going to the closest shop from my house
>I'm walking to the car
Even if I'm just walking to the car, there's police stopping those as well. The only things that allow me to go around in a car are
>going to supermarket
>going hospital/pharmacy
>visiting an elderly relative
>going to work
in the last case, I also need to demonstrate my job contract to the cop.
jesus, is the virus really that bad in Spain or is it just to prevent it from going apeshit?
We have a lot of old people we pretend we want to keep alive so they're making us stay inside for them.
~15,000 cases rn.
The biggest problem is tourists. Also there was a massive carnival on which loads of people got infected.
It's pretty bad, but also is right.
Germany here. Wondering if we're getting curfew soon. My company is prepared to go full home office, some people are already doing it. We have enough money for 6 months but can stretch it to 14 months if we reduce people's hours and get some help form the government. I'd actually prefer if the country went full lockdown for a month.
This Corona thing is pretty fucking scary and I'd rather suffer some short term economic issues than a year long plague. Also I haven't had a free day in ages and my backlog is enormous.
Watch Kingdom on Netflix
Koreans know how to make Kino even on Netflix.
How do I stay positive during this shit? People keep telling me it’s the end of the world and my state is on lockdown big time.
Even my local arcade shut down today.
I just hunker down and consume product until they give us the all clear
>locked in with my fuckawful neighbors
>barely any food to last the rest of the week
>nothing to play
>only friend (long distance) still has classes, still has work, and lives with his gf so we can't even really talk
