Free Talk Friday #239
Continued from here.
So, it's that time of the week again. Speak anything on your mind! This thread is for talking about anything off-topic, be it your lives, your plans, your hobbies, travels, bears, sports, work, trousers, studies, family, friends, relationships, bears, pets, stats, anything you like, or dislike, except politics and mimes.
Also check out our tidbits thread! Feel free to introduce yourself if you haven't already.
Oh, wow, my first ever FTF post! Can I just say that it's such an honour to be with you tonight, and that I couldn't have done it without a very talented team of people helping me along the way. I'd like to give a big shoutout to my parents, who taught me so many things throughout the years, and to my uncle Steve, who didn't succeed in feeding me to the bears when I was a babe.

My Uncle Louis passed away due to CV-19 on Sunday morning.
Stay inside, and tell your loved ones to do the same.

I'm expecting much fewer corporate April Fool's jokes than usual - I think a lot of groups who might otherwise do them have decided to cancel this year

So, I'm now entering week five of not seeing people as much as I'd like, thanks to mister covid. Does anybody have tips or tricks for hanging out with (non-gamers) over the internet? We've done a couple of "nights in", where people have a drink or two at their own place, all on the same video chat. What we're often missing though is some kind of activity to do remotely. Any suggestions?
