The obligatory coronavirus update

Everyone has to have one, it seems, so why not!

On my end, the biggest difference in my day-to-day life is that the entire office has been asked to work from home unless absolutely required. This isn't a major shift for me as I had been working from home once a week for several months now, so I've got the process down. Five days a week instead of one feels different, of course, but I can still be productive and stay in touch with the members of my team! One very nice result is that I'm now saving about eight hours of commute time per week, and it shows every day: I now have more time to move my projects forward. Not bad!

With more people staying at home, there's been a noticeable increase of player traffic on several servers. I can't confirm for sure if this is the case for us yet as my player stats have been affected by a bug in the past few days, but I'm working to repair them. If anything, it feels busier than usual.

The one real consequence I'm facing at this point is minor, all things considered. I usually buy the monthly postcards every month, unless I pick up more designs while on vacation. However, all of the stores that I usually visit for these are either closed or will be closing later today, so my supply has dried up. Not to worry, though, as I'm already working on an alternative and they should be shipping out at the beginning of next month, as usual!
