It's been a bit quiet around here lately. Anyone done anything interesting? Had a sweet holiday?
I'm heading back to work on Tuesday, so still a couple more days in holiday mode. Have been hanging out with family who have been down visiting.
Last night we played a 4 player game of the board game Pandemic, and got smashed in the novice difficulty. My wife and I are used to two player and it got a bit trickier in 4 player (or we probably didn't think it through enough and just went for a two player strategy).
First time we played Pandemic we thought we had to cure all diseases, turns out you only need to find the four antidotes. Then it became a lot easier.
And, yes, I also noticed it becomes more quiet here. I'm still casually browsing Reddit and it's still as active as it was before all the protests. I hate the app and website though, I miss Baconreader. It seems more negative though.
It's not really that surprising that it's quieter here. It was always quieter on the weekends than during the week, and the holiday break is a bit like an extended weekend for many people. I've personally been pretty busy with everyone around so not much time for doom scrolling.
