Hang in there. Find something to do every day, bonus if it's something you do for yourself.

Thank you. I've been cleaning. Gives me that sense of control. I ordered a PC console controller in hopes of getting back into gaming. I listen to a lot of music, try to get some blood flowing and dance a little. My speaker is somewhat of an antique :x

I watched four episodes on Seinfeld while cleaning today. I think the worst part of this year is feeling extremely broke and there being nothing to do unless you have money or want to spend the day hiking. I hiked yesterday though :-/

I'm currently watching Locke & Key. Seinfeld is one of those shows that I could forever rewatch. And yeah, there isn't much to do in Vermont unless you have that play money for snow sports. Good on you for taking a hike though!

Which controller did you get? What games do you play?

I bought a generic xbox controller for my laptop, I was thinking of either Elder Scrolls or Skyrim.

Do you mean Elden ring? Skyrim the fifth installment of the Elder Scrolls games.

I got the FUSION Xbox controller for pc gaming. It’s wired, I have no need for wireless at my PC. I’ve been so happy with it.

Um I think ESO? I haven't tried Elder Scrolls online, I want to try Skyrim again, and I wouldn't mind trying Elden Ring

The one I bought is also wired

Ah Elder Scrolls Online, my mistake. Have you played Skyrim before?

I sure have lost many hours of my life playing Skyrim lol years ago I'm hesitant on PC gaming, I like consoles and a TV.

Have you tried any of the Fallout games? Particularly Fallout 3 and New Vegas are great time sucks. RPG elements with some choose your own adventure set in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Fun times.

I haven't!

They do look interesting, I like the graphics.

I'd love to just watch someone play my old favorites from PS2 days haha

Dude, Fallout 3 and New Vegas are IMO top games of all time. What I would give to go back fresh and play them again! I’d start there.

Speaking of which, if you like Skyrim you'll probably love Elder Scrolls Morrowind if you haven't played that yet. It's my favorite of the series. You can do pretty much whatever you like, little hand holding and so many different directions you could go. The first open world where it truly felt open.

Have you tried checking out Twitch? there may be people streaming them now! what are some of your favorite PS2 games? My fav from that era would have to probably be Final Fantasy X and FFX-2.

I hear you, I was a console gamer growing up (born 88) and never feel comfortable gaming at a desk. My setup is quite elaborate, but I have multiple monitors at a desk for FPS multiplayer gaming, and a TV hooked up to the GPU, a comfy chair and wired controller for single player games.

ESO? it's super fun. If you end up playing and want some help getting started let me know. Been playing a while but haven't lately due to life. If you haven't played Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 you are in for a fun ride. What kind of console do you have? Depending on the console I have a copy of Fallout 3 you can just have (I PC game mostly nowadays, but the PC is hooked to the TV and I use a controller for some games).
