Just played NBA Jam for like an hour straight. Without the NBA on right now this game is filling a void and god damn this game is awesome.

Hit a shot at the buzzer with Hakeem that rolled on the rim for like 2 seconds and punched my ceiling after it went in. Hope it didn't leave a mark.

Yeah the secret players and stuff in those games were awesome. That is a picture of TE though. I don't remember which ones had more easter eggs.

My plan is to beat all of the NBA teams with my saved name. I will try to do 3-4 teams a day. I was thinking of streaming it lol but I don't have a following anywhere. The sound in NBA Jam is incredible too.

You've got a following here! I say do it, or at least record it.

I am so bored I ended up watching a stupid reality show and don't even know how I got there.
Fun Fact: Hungary has dude-bros.
Which makes me sorta sad.

Got a circle of 6 close friends,i let few in cause of trust issues. One today is going to Palm Springs to live with his mother a while. Assuming shes lonely too, well he did some odd end jobs around the house so he is getting a trip there today. Big maybe if i tag along, a 97 corolla/16 Versa sucks for 4 hour/8 round trips and well i got back issues. I could pop some indica like 40mg and be jonsing all dang day and it wouldn't bother me.

Go or nay? We leaving in prob a few hours. Gonna need to fuel up at least once, not kidding about those fill ups being scary most stations can have a easy 10+ at a given time. The wise in me says its a horrible idea. Then again i used to live out in Palm springs area years ago, could be fun to see the old stomping grounds :)

My dad (dementia, physical disabilities) recently moved in with my wife and I, so we're getting used to that, getting used to my tetchy wife who is experiencing working from home for the first time (I wonder if she'll respect my work-at-home time a bit more once this is all over!), catching up on my business's accounts, catching up on gardening in our too-large garden which hasn't had enough attention for a good 18 months (my parents became increasingly high maintenance, then my mum died of cancer last October and my dad's dementia has progressed at a seemingly increasing rate).

Otherwise, a small amount of time gaming, going running every other day, push-ups every day or other day, think that's about it. Some bits of business-related homework to do, and some remote sessions on customers' computers.

No time for boredom.

A thought occurred to me recently: There's gonna be a fuckload of movies, documentaries, video games, comics, novels, and original series that deal directly & indirectly with all of this.
The drama, pain, suffering, triumphs, losses, revelations, and even the indifferences of widespread panic and death.

2021 is probably going to be very entertaining.

Yeah, I was kinda curious how certain shows are going to incorporate this into their story lines without it seeming cheesy.

Something like Succession on HBO could pull this off pretty easily. Make the entire Roy family quarantine in their mansion in the Hamptons and have them all turn on each other. :)

day 5 of my isolation and I am still bored but I keep in contact with family and my GF over the phone so I am not as lonely.

My beard is starting to annoy me a bit. Mostly because it is coming in grey. :(

I was actually thinking about completely new series invented purely because there was a major world event.
But also current shows will probably want to integrate the virus into their plots.

I noticed a lot of shows ignored the collapse of the twin towers too. Frasier pops into mind. I think also Friends, and that was set in New York.

Going grey is exactly why I no longer have facial hair. Good luck with yours.

I feel you brother. You'll get used to it a bit if you can pull off the salt and pepper look for a while. I let mine grow out for a week or two sometimes, then I buzz it down to just a little scruff and I look so much younger.
