Quarantine Sanity - Things To Do (Feel Free To Add Your Own)
- Purpose is cool little things you can do to pass the time (whether it's a site that has free downloads, or games, etc) - or even recommendations (like movies/shows on Netflix/Hulu, etc) - post them here.
What am I doing (when I'm not working, that is)? I just finished replaying Darkest Dungeon. It's pretty cool - a Nintendo-esque RPG, with a very Lovecraft (or even Ravenloft) feel. Not very complicated. Easy to hack in order to make it a little easier to play.
I'm also writing a story that I've been itching to try for years: the story of the first fast-food salesman in history. An ancient Babylonian goat farmer who takes his older goats to market to sell them to the butchers, but the butchers have enough goat meat. What's he going to do with so many goats and nothing to feed them on? How about ............... DUN DUN DAH! Turn them into sausages and start a new business?
Of course there's more to it than that - including the fabled Tower of Babylon, kings and priests, thieves and guards, backstabbing and vengeance, and so on and so forth. I wrote out a plan of attack, and I'm about to start writing chapter 3.
Which is why I'm here, procrastinating, instead of writing the damn thing.

You can get some free games - including Assassin's Creed II.
Crazy high score with this gnome (bonus points for hitting mushrooms; and also if you get it to roll through a hollow log, and Clouds have random effects too if you get it out into space) lol

Went to show the wife how to use this specific gnome... and broke my previous record.

I'm rather partial to the Cricket doodle. (Yes, I live in Australia, so we play cricket. No, I don't know why the game is named after an insect).
In the doodle, you play a cricket who plays - well, cricket. Your opponents are snails, which should be encouraging - but they're quick snails.
I didn't realize until I swung my mouse around; if you hold it towards the top - she goes into a much higher pitch of that note. I was keeping it at the bottom before, not realizing it made a difference.
