 Whoops, you made the error of being alive during a global pandemic! Silly, what were you thinking? You were just another young adult in Britain living your life and getting through the day when COVID-19 hit the country and turned your life upside down. When reports of the virus first came out of China you assumed it would have a neglible impact in the UK. When the shops started to run out of pasta you were frustrated but still thought people were overreacting. When they put posters up at work advising people to self-isolate if displaying symptoms you believed everyone was just getting a bit anxious. However over the last few days it has become clear that social distancing is vital. Over the course of this week you have prepared yourself and now you have entered quarantine mode. You have recently been declared by the government as a key worker that can work from home and your employment status is secure You have spent the last few days picking up some basic supplies (but no hoarding!) and your food stock is very good You display zero symptoms of the coronavirus and your condition is healthy You are entering quarantine in high spirits and your emotional wellbeing is positive 10 rolls of toilet paper remaining  What do you do?

Log in to your online bank account and cancel the standing order to your landlord. Your employment may be secure but that's no reason not to get in on the ground floor of the rent strike!

You would love a pint but you really don't feel comfortable going to the pub right now Spuckuk posted:Write a strongly worded tweet about how this is Jeremy Corbyns fault.  Venting out your rage in an incoherent string of abuse has made you feel calmer. Your emotional wellbeing is now upbeat Cluncho McChunk posted:>Inspect pet cage  This is your pet hamster, Xander. You have been his parent for close to two years now. He is very active but skittish and still bites you every now and again. You probably shouldn't disturb him further right now, it is his night-time. PST posted:Take stock of supplies for the contents of the cage and ensure small furry animal supplies are also Good. You purchased a fresh stock of food, bedding and treats this morning, in fact. Your pet supplies are very good

Sanitary Naptime posted:> Get wrapping paper  Oh how very thought, you've got yourself a present. What a special day! You decide you'll open it later to keep up the suspense Slaan posted:>go back to bed During the middle of your work shift?! Are you sure? Renaissance Robot posted:Log in to your online bank account and cancel the standing order to your landlord. Your employment may be secure but that's no reason not to get in on the ground floor of the rent strike! You consider cancelling your rent in solidarity with those who are struggling financially but decide against it. Your landlord is a person too and how would he survive himself without your rent! CommissarMega posted:>call girl/boyfriend and cry Unfortunately this dialogue option does not appear when your relationship status is single Ibblebibble posted:> cheeky Nando's takeaway  Yes, what a great idea! You're feeling very up for this! After all, who doesn't love a cheeky Nando's?  On second thoughts maybe not... MagusofStars posted:I see a bookshelf on the wall. Many adventure games hide important information there, so examine bookshelf.  You walk over to the bookshelf and study it with a furrowed brow. Hmm, perhaps the wine glass filled with coke bottle caps is a clue?

Beartaco posted:> Turn on television  You hit the button on the television but nothing happens. You press the button again but the screen remains lifeless. You're pretty sure that's not what's meant to happen. Beartaco posted:> open wallet and send photo of credit card to me You look around but you don't see your wallet. You know you definitely didn't leave it outside so it must be around here somewhere! PenguinSalsa posted:> Start a CYOA Let's Play thread on the something awful dot com forums.  You decide to start a "screenshot" LP based on your time in quarantine. It's a bit gimmicky but hopefully everyone will be nice! PenguinSalsa posted:> Try to bake a loaf of bread to improve the hidden "cooking" stat Sure, why not?  Oh, you're pretty sure you don't have any of those

Greetings from Italy. I've been working from home since the 5th of March (high school teacher), I've been out of pajamas like thrice in this period (not counting showers), I am an antisocial rear end in a top hat and I'm loving bored out of my mind already. Stay safe and >hug yourself, because you deserve it.

These games often have some fun interactions, or easter eggs. For example insisting to kiss random stuff. Not the best time for that, though. >xyzzy Stay safe goons.
