I think if you drink all that it will kill the virus for sure! 

Lol can I just point out that where we live (UAE) you sort of have to buy booze in bulk. It's not hard to get, but it is a hassle because it has to be covered up and brought home discreetly (and then given a bath). I swear we're not a bunch of booze hounds over here!

Weirdly, even as a chronic OCD sufferer since my teens, I can't bring myself to clean my groceries.

I found it weird too until you started to see those published pieces explaining that the outside of each coronavirus cell is made up of lipids, hence why soap and hand sanitizer are capable of breaking the cells up and/or detaching them from surfaces. It's probably overkill, but as I posted to a different thread we're pretty sure the virus is circulating our building at the moment. 

"It's been a year!"

...you kind of look like Ryan Gosling with that on.

The whole covering my entire face makes me look like Ryan Gosling? Gee thanks!

I was hoping for some more comments about being expected to wear the poison bleach necklace.

I think we're starting to get immune to idiocy and weirdness... but after hearing Trump suggest bleach injections and reading on the newspaper, the other day, that the US washes their chickens with bleach I'm no longer surprised at much. 

I met a guy today in an expats group I'm in that's an actual flat earther. They apparently really do exist. 

It's not LSL 6: Shape up or slip out? I guess that would be too easy. Style looks similar.

Soaping up literally everything that comes in the house.

Me and my wife (who actually looks cool in her mask but told me to remove her from the pic). I guess it is me and my arm stump then.

Yeah it sounds unlikely to be caught from clothing. However, in our case, several units in our building had municipal 'quarantine' postings on the doors and gov delivered food items left outside each unit three times a day (even our neighbours' unit!) It's hard to know exactly what the story is in these units, but we're assuming there is some circulation within our building. We just see it as our having been lucky this far and not wanting to take any chances at all, hence our commitment to excessive washing, changing clothes, etc.

Lol yeah it is indeed infuriating at times. I usually wash my hands twice or three times after we get home! Wash, take clothes/mask off, wash again, put 'home' clothes on. We wash all of our groceries too, so it is just constant soap suds everywhere over here.

The reason I wear masks alone in my car is because once I put it on my face I don't touch my face unless I have returned home and properly cleaned my hands and then I remove the mask.

Yeah absolutely. I think people don't realise just how much you end up touching your face in a given day without really thinking about it.

I wear one anytime I’m outside my home, even when I go jogging. It’s not a difficult concept to understand. There are times you inadvertently are around other humans (passing by other joggers, people passing as they get in/out an elevator, etc). If everyone’s in a mask, we’re keeping our droplets to ourselves. I scowl at those that still (STILL?!) refuse to admit masks make a significant difference.

Those games look amazing. Question: have you thought about doing a voice over for the characters? I know this would be a huge task, but I ask because I know there is a segment of the Steam market which is parents (like me) looking for family-friendly adventure games that our kids can play through without the need for mum/dad to narrate the trickier chunks.

That second bear fright of his life

Haha yeah I think I'll avoid that!

Jeez good for you. Would have never got it from those shots. My friends and I used to laugh so hard at this scene:

To this day I've never seen or read Carrie. Anything involving adolescent cruelty is the one niche genre I find difficult to watch, but yeah I heard it is a good movie.

Cape Fear?

...you go one day...

What's a "day"? I forgot what that word means.

Lol so true. I sort of feel like the last two months have been one long, unending 'day'.

Happy bday

Things are going crazy near where I live in the UK... Thieves are out on the pinch even more... even stealing someone's hot tub and 3 piece suite... and someone even took an outdoor fish pond 

It was reported that drones were flying over the borough...

They even took the kitchen sink. Absolute bedlam.

What have I missed? 

That's the thing - you go one day without reading the news and come back to some completely new chapter of our global clownshow.
