Quarantine Cabin Fever
5 years ago
Felt a compulsory need to update this since I never do anymore. So hi.
As of posting this journal all of Minnesota is supposed to be in a soft lockdown to hamper the spread of Covid-19, but since about 70% of stores have deemed themselves "essential" nothing has really changed for me. I still have to work, and the store I work for seems ten times busier than usual, despite half my coworkers either quitting or taking sick leave. The "100 Days of Hell" be hitting early I guess.
I've been spending most of my time the last few weeks back on my retro gaming collection, grabbing lucky finds here and there from Half Price and Goodwill, buying bulk CD cases to repair games already in my collection (even Sega CD/Saturn long boxes), and playing around with Photoshop trying to get old game manuals restored from crappy internet jpegs. I've also been working toward turning my console collection blue...because reasons. Lots of goodies on eBay, Etsy and fan repair sites. I'm hoping to get a new collection photo at some point since my collection has grown considerable since the last photo I took five years ago: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/15918310/
My Backloggery account is at 1188 games last count... you'd think with all this free time I might actually get around to finishing some of those games... Maybe I should become a streamer just to encourage myself to finish all these damn games.
Anyway, that's all the updates I got for now. Just riding out this virus ordeal by burying my nose in my hobbies. I'm pretty much more active on Twitter these days than anything else so you can follow me there to watch my mind slowly deteriorate.

I also have to continue working and go in everyday so I hope I do not pick up the virus.
