[QUOTE="RastaLulz, post: 466203, member: 1"] Glad to hear this year has been mostly positive for you. This year has definitely been an interesting one; lots of isolation, and time for introspection. It started out pretty well; was going to the gym every other day, spent sometime in Denver with colleagues, had plans for traveling/working remote, etc. Then in the middle of March, everything shut down. Initially it wasn't that bad, not a whole lot changed for me (was already working remote). I started playing a lot of League, got back into Minecraft (played Towny with [USER=70]@Benden[/USER] and [USER=8605]@TesoMayn[/USER]), etc. But by the end of June, I noticed I was playing lots of video games, doom scrolling on reddit, constantly checking my phone, etc. Really just trying to distract myself from other things. So I decided to take a step back from pretty much everything online (DevBest, FindRetros, Snapchat, reddit, etc.), and make the most of my summer (while being socially distant). I hiked in a few state parks, visited places like Madison, La Crosse, and Indianapolis, thought a lot about where I'm at, and what I should be focusing on (it's why I got the these [URL="https://d.joshf.xyz/NCqP0s"]posters[/URL]). I'm glad I did this, since our summers don't last very long (we get about three months of nice weather). It was also interesting to not have to worry about DevBest/FindRetros for a brief moment (things that I've been running for over 13 years now). Slowly I started unblocking things, trying to use them in a more healthy way. This worked for awhile, but eventually I noticed myself falling back into familiar patterns, and still working on figuring that out. Recently purchased a MacBook Pro, and have been using it exclusively, and haven't played any video games in a few months. I look forward to the new year, with an end in sight with a vaccine; people being able to travel, enjoy new experiences with friends and family, etc. While 2020 isn't a year I'd want to relive, hopefully there's some positive things that I can take away from it, and find a better balance in my life. As for COVID itself, it really hasn't affected me directly, in regards to people around me. I've also been fortunate enough to be in a position where my employment wasn't affected (quite the opposite actually, we're doing really well). [/QUOTE]
