For all of us nerds out there who spend WAY too much time at our computers at work and at home, let me be the first to say, thank GOD for social distancing finally being socially acceptable.
2020 has been one hell of a ride so far. We started off with rumors of starting WWIII, hello apocalypse threat number one. Now we are being quarantined to the point of having the National Guard being deployed. What in the world is going on??
January 1st, 2020, everyone was excited for the roaring twenties with new emerging technology in the world of medicine, VR, and even business! Smart homes were all the rage, and everyone had an Alexa or Google device… as long as you didn’t ask it if it worked for the CIA. With hope in our hearts and our eyes as big as kids at Christmas, we all entered 2020 with the following thought. “WOW! I survived 2019… Thank god that’s over.” How naive we were, just as children… at Christmas… but we got socks and a Pink Bunny set of Jammies hand made by our aunt. There’s no returning that Christmas gift.
We have plenty of time for reflection, as well as daydreaming of the future. As I sit here writing this at 1 am on Thursday night, I’m watching one of my best friends play the new Doom Eternal on launch day. Normally, I wouldn’t be able to do that. Count the small blessings, right? Doom releases the same day as Animal Crossing. Can we get a crossover game of these two legends? I’d love to go farming while killing some hell beasts.
Thankfully, we are not lost in a world of death and loneliness, any more than usual anyway, thanks to modern day technology and the interwebs of the future. With emerging updates in VR, your favorite concerts now lost to IRL (that’s In Real Life for you non nerds) we can still enjoy them through the magic of technology. What a time to be alive and under quarantine. While the economy goes down the shitter and we are stuck at home, at least we have our online friends to play with all day.
Lets get grinding!
