Don't do it, there's been enough community spread of that!

I mean if whatever it is beats out what is going on now I'll be impressed.

I feel better about keeping my job we are back up to 25 tonight.


Random note about me: I hate monopoly soo very much.


Really? I love Monopoly. So much of the hate I've heard about it seems to come from either A) playing with a$&$%$!s (which would ruin any game), and/or B) not playing by the rules.


My hate comes from it being boring AF but everyone wants to play it and play it forever. as long as you buy properties that you land on the entire game is left up to the dice.


Luck is important. The strategy comes from trying to get good deals on trades.

I agree 100%.

Yeah we're not doing very well here. Oil price crashing has really affected our long term viability. Anything else is confidential so I rather not say it on an Internet forum.

Good luck mort.

Thanks, I'll need it.

Singapore has just implemented a circuit breaker, which to me is a nicer word for lockdown. Ever since I've been working from home I've been cooking for my in laws family - and now getting groceries will be challenging due to panic buyers. My husband suggested we all eat canned food, and I pray it really doesn't come to that.

I may be slower in response, my apologies.

Also it's not doing my sanity any good with all fitness classes cancelled. Gyms are closed too.

I'm the sort of person that if I promise you something, I will die trying to fulfil it, so if I promised my in-laws I will cook, I will see it done.

Best of luck, Mort. Hopefully your in-laws will help you out by helping get the groceries and other chores.

Do you have access to a sunny-ish window or a patio/deck (or a yard) where you live? If so, you might try growing some herbs and even some leafy vegetables, like lettuces, arugula, etc. If you can get the seeds, many herbs will grow like crazy in small windowsill containers inside. Leafy greens will take longer of course, but once they get growing you can often harvest a third or so leaves/greens at a time from each plant and the plant will continue to grow and put on more leaves.

I've also had really good luck saving->sprouting->growing the seeds from store & farmers' market tomatoes and peppers, for example, and both do well in 4-5 gallon containers/buckets. (Even though you're growing the same plants. Carrots and potatoes grown from cuttings are also supposed to do quite well in containers. They all do take many weeks until harvest, but it is a hobby that will act to help keep you mentally occupied/distracted. Or maybe one of your in-laws might like to tend the plants? And if you start them in some decent soil, you can keep amending the soil with leftover tea & coffee grounds. Leftover eggshells soaked overnight in water (or leftover tea/coffee) also makes a gentle "tea" high in calcium and other nutrients that many growing plants will love.

Even if you grow veggies or herbs you're not keen on eating, you can likely find a neighbor you can barter them towards some other foods, goods, or service you might need.


When bartering for goods and services it's important to remember, the mininuke is useless without a Fatman.

I'm a fat man. Does that help?

Can you launch a mininuke far enough to annihilate a charging horde of super mutants without also annihilating yourself?

Maybe. I've never tried.

Let me know how it goes.


So our game was switched over to roll20 for obvious reason first time running with roll 20 wasn't to bad will probably get easier as I learn how to work everything. It went slower but probably because we couldn't figure everything out immediately. Not quite as nice as face to face but it will do.

I think Mort that us in the US will quickly overtake you with COVID-19 problems. in my immediate area we have 16 confirmed cases but they only tested like 64 people so that's like what 20%? we have a stay home order except for us essential people. I don't feel very essential with only 12 guests but I will take the hours.

We've done Roll20 (with google Hangouts for voice) the last two weeks. It's fine, but yeah I prefer face to face.

Our public health department website shows 55 confirmed cases for the county. 16 recovered, 39 active (9 of them in the hospital), and 0 deaths. Doesn't state number of people tested.

As for being "essential", at least your hotel still has guests. We're sending the few reservations we get next door, so the desk clerks are now basically just security guards for an empty building. But, yeah, still getting 40 hours a week (for now).


Wow so no guests and your still getting 40 hours? man you are living the dream.


I actually scared 2nd shift when I came in tonight. I came through the side door, like I always do, and went into the restroom to get changed. Then I came out and was walking down the hall to go clock in, and he came around the corner, face white as a sheet, saw me and went "Oh thank god it's you." I guess he wasn't expecting me.

Sure. Basically it's come in, walk the floors and couple of times, do any dusting or vacuuming that might be needed, run the audit, and go home.

They aren't even cutting our pay for this. I guess they're worried about how hard it would be to cover our shifts if we quit.


Lol I don't know why but I surprised our 2nd shift person too. Sh was expecting the part time guy for some reason. Still I don't know why that made her jump tho.... odd...


Maybe your beard shocked her?


IT is a pretty shocking beard...

Probably just hadn't seen anyone for a prolonged time and was surprised to see another human.

A couple of the others have mentioned how "creepy" it is to not see or hear from another person for the whole shift. All I can think is "That's my perfect night".

This is why we are night shift guys gran. The less people the better.


So what’s the learning curve like on Roll 20? And is there a cost?

My group’s looking at options, but I don’t have a lot of extra mental space right now to absorb more new info...


I half figured it out in a day. so not terrible. Their is a pay option but so far all I've seen that the pay option gives is more little icons for avatars and scenery which since you can pretty well upload whatever picture you want it's doesn't seem necessary. I think the only real costs is everyone getting all the hardware mics head set etc which really most people probably have.

It did take us like 2 hours to get everyone ready but I think next time we should be able to just start right up.

There's no required cost and I have found the learning curve quite low. I ran my first successful session on Roll20 with Discord for the vocal group interaction, and while there were some hiccups, it worked fine. there are tutorials and a lot of advice on how to use them on the web.

Some of the fancy macro-building abilities are paywalled

In order for your macros to affect character traits (such as a custom dying trait) you'll need to have a paid account.


Interesting


Down to 8 tonight but Sunday is usually slow tomorrow it will probably pick up.

If you dont really need maps, just using discord works great. Use it for voice, ad a diceroller to it.


That's what we're doing for Call of Cthulhu at the moment, and it does work well.


That's what I'm leaning towards. It's the Strange Aeons campaign, which is ideal for mapless running. We'll give it a shot, anyway.

I miss reality.


Theirs no escape.


I feel like we've been over this before.


But this one was for quibble's benefit.


We're having a benefit for quibble? Or kibble?


Why not a bibile for quibble? We can scribble something down. Maybe use a dibble. He won't see it coming because he's not a sybil. Just don't shine a light on him he might be irrefrangible.


Flibble my pibble and nibble your tribble. Xybble will gribble the wibble libble zibble hibble. Ibble.


AH! You're both infected with Xzibit-19!

Or Kellogg's Product-19.
