I was in school so when that was put on hold I essentially played video games like it was a job. I remember vividly playing Grand Theft Auto IV in one sitting for the Liberty City Minute achievement and I'm pretty sure I played through Master Chief Collection.

Do you look back on any aspects of it nostalgically?

I was already not going to the office a lot before the pandemic, so the switch to full WFH wasn't really much of a change. It did prompt me to take my home workspace more seriously, so I got a proper desk with a keyboard tray. My work also allowed us to "borrow" our office chairs, so I didn't need to buy an expensive ergonomic chair. Wife and I are not outdoorsy people to begin with, so staying at home for days on end and only going out for groceries wasn't really an issue.
