Hmm. I'm really tempted to throw a bunch of money at the Neo-Mechanika Kickstarter, but also I'm looking at my shelves to make sure I have the space for them and I'm realizing that I have over 500 unpainted models. Maybe a painting service instead?

Maybe a painting service instead? DO IT. I’ll be running Warcaster demos in July, anyway! This is a perfect excuse! Oh and come play Monsterpocalypse sometime too.

Topic change...
I live outside of Boston and the world has turned upside down in the past week. I went to Costco to stock up and it was pretty surreal.

I'm not sure how I feel about this whole situation. I live with my parents, and they're not the youngest, so it's crucial we don't infect them, but the sheer degree of hysteria going on right now is insane. I went to the supermarket today to buy some stuff and the place was completely packed, 40+ people in a place that usually has 5-6 tops during peak hours. shelves all empty. we actually bought a bunch of non-perishables two weeks ago just in case, turns out that was a good idea. I don't think there's going to be a fatal food shortage anytime soon, but it's not a bad idea to stock up just in case. if you even can, that is, we've all seen the current situation.
stock market situation is insane too. parents invested in stocks just two months ago, that money's going to be stuck in the freezer for the next, say, decade. ironically the market crash is happening in large part because idiots are rushing to pull out their investments at huge losses, making the crash accelerate even faster. seeing a lot of pink wojak screenshots on social media.

Idk man. It’s a lot.
I’m currently under a quarantine as a possible positive(still waiting on results). I mean I definitely have similar symptoms but who knows.
It’s weird having to send family and friends on errands for me, haha.

Things are starting to get crazy, conventions getting cancelled left and right.
Take care of yourself Sparklefist, I hope you get well soon.

It’s not the flu. I’ve already tested negative for that.
But thank you. I’m not enjoying what ever this illness is and would like it to stop.

It's interesting to see that under this veneer of civility people by and large are dumb, egotistical panicky herd-idiots.
Toilet paper? Gone. Bread? Gone.
I hope those hoarders will be eating their microwave pasta till christmas.

I'm running a Frozen Foods department and it's definitely not awesome.

I’m thankful that I was able to get all my needed groceries with the help of my mom and best friend.
But like, I only got enough to get through a week or so. I’m not looking to hoard anything. Idk. Maybe in a week when I shop again, the store will be well stocked and empty XD

Btw, test results were negative. So now I’m free to go outside again! Sorta. Everything is closed. But still! Granted I’m also stuck with an unexplained upper respiratory infection.
