mostly just switching between different videogames and working on my portfolio for uni. apart from that, not really a lot; my priority is keeping my mental health in check as quarantine isn't really treating me so well. i'll focus on developing a skill/bettering myself once i actually make sure i'm okay, first.

I cannot lie, quarantine has been dope for me.
When it began, I reconnected with some friends I haven't heard from since high school. Our discord server became a second living room to us; I'd say I've been more social during quarantine than usual. We played skribbl.io, Minecraft and poured more than 80 hours into Crusader Kings 2. We also picked up Total War Shogun 2, but we haven't played that in multiplayer yet. On my own, I'm trying to get decent at Under Night In-Birth. I've also been breeding and training Pokemon for my Platinum battle frontier, which is something I never fully completed.
My cousin, me and another friend have had a blast reading and voice acting visual novels of questionable quality from Steam. The Colonel Sanders one had us rolling.
I finally decided to catch up on JoJo. Almost there, I started part 5 the other day.
I have online lessons so most of the time it collides with my schedule, but I try to cook for my family at least once a week.
Picked up the pace with my kanji learning to the point where I can for the most part read grade 1 and 2 kanji. I've been using japanese Pokemon cards and the japanese side of youtube to practice my reading speed.
I've been reading and watching a lot of stuff about WW2.

I've been doing what I could to keep informed of the crises, especially since my state of Texas has been wrestling with the idiotic notion of reopening the economy...My bosses are more sane than some people and would have rather kept closed even with them technically being an essential service (I work at a local restaurant, and they had for a while been doing delivery to ensure people had food, so yeah due to the issues here I'm back at work. My bosses at least are doing things by the rule book however forcing social distancing when necessary and all employees have to have a mask and we're stocked with cleaning supplies.

I also bought Animal Crossing: New Horizons a few weeks ago. I would love it if I can get some people to share their island codes, so PM me with that info if you have the game, it'll make things that much more interesting for us all. I actually have my island open as of typing this post, so feel free to send me a code. I especially need to travel to get oranges and apples for my island since I have every other fruit (including coconut) at this point.

I can't really complain other than the fact that I don't like online classes for having a 0.01 seconds attention span and that I've been at home since october bc of Chile's political stuff hitting just before the covid. I don't have much trouble with being inside my house the whole day, really. I just wish this didn't happen at that time I was looking for a job because it's impossible to find one.

I've been watching a lot more things on Netflix and doing more lazing around, which is kinda Nice since I ran around so much before...

Right now I'm firmly planted in front of the comp bout to watch The Power of Us in a Pikachu tanktop and my family is laughing at me, but y'know.

For the first two months of quarantine, I had a hell of a lot of university work to do cause the end of the academic year was coming up. Now thats over, I've been spending more time on video games, exercising every day, and replaying through every generation of Pokemon! This stuff has kept me pretty busy so far :)

I've been doing the exact same things I'd do on my day off: slack off and play video games. Sometimes I write, but it's a bit harder when I'm stuck at home; I do better starting writing when I'm not in front of my computer.

On one hand, when work restarts next month, I'll be glad to get back to doing something productive in life and earning the money I make.
On the other hand, man, wouldn't it be nice if I could just slack off at home the rest of my life... or at the very least, work less hours at work.
why does living cost money

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

Obsessive amounts of drawing, working out, finishing long procrastinated projects, therapy and grief counseling, taking care of my pets/elders, reading, volunteer work, dealing with the fallout of some extreme familial trauma, lots and lots of gardening, and playing animal crossing.

after finishing my spring semester, I went into a business partnership with my landlord to open a computer repair shop out of the side of our house. he’s making an exit from the home repair business himself, and we’re about 70% of the way to a fully functioning shop. we’ve spent the last two months pulling out ~10 trailer loads of decades worth of junk and garbage he had stowed, building a new wall to seal the room off from the rest of the basement, and we’re looking at painting & sealing it all now. I have a handful of Apple products I’m diagnosing this week for a real estate agent he knows. so it’s work, and I’m happy with it.

besides that, my husband realised he can obtain his Associate’s of Arts with nothing more than this summer semester he’s taking right now. his mother is ecstatic for the progress, and we’re both happy about it too. if he can get a bachelor’s, he has some wonderful employment down the line as well. we could both be very well off together.

I purchased Xenoblade: Definitive Edition to keep me occupied for a while, but I loved it so much I spent every chance playing it and finished in a week. Now doing a second run. I haven't had this much fun on a video game in a long time.

Doing all of the things I couldn't do. I've played through all of my story apps; video games already. I've been trying to learn a new language now and then.
Was also able to get so many home costumes done and wig edits for my cosplays.

Well I've actually had to work. I'm am essential worker! I am thankful to not be unemployed, I'll say.

But as far as Pokémon goes, I did use these last few weeks - since mid-May to be exact - to get back into Nuzlockes. After I initially thought they weren't in good taste during a pandemic, I just missed doing them.
