Social Distancing My Ass! (Patreon)

With all this talk of "social distancing", global lock downs and stay-at-home orders, it's easy to fall into the trap of isolation. Let's make sure this doesn't happen! Isolation leads to loneliness, depression, bad thoughts and negative feelings about yourself and the world. It's all courtesy of something I call The Bullshit Brain.

The best way to beat this is to gather and talk with your fellow man, connect with one another, and be merry about it. I say let's meet up in Stardew Valley! 

I appreciate the community we've become in the regular 3D live streams, and I'd like to open this up during COVID-19. Starting yesterday, I'm doing additional live streams at 10am EDT. Drop by and hang out, and don't feel isolated! Let's use this incredible technology to stay in touch. Let's chat about anything and everything, have a laugh, or if you can't join the chat, sit back and watch. 

I'm planning on doing these streams on days I'm working at the supermarket, so we can check in almost daily. On my off days, I'll continue the 5pm time slot as usual, with either 3D Shenanigans or more Stardew, or something equally exciting. I've got a Google Calendar to keep up with all the different time slots. 

I'll keep streaming on Twitch as usual, but not everyone is on there. I may switch things up to include everyone and do a stream for my larger YouTube and Mixer audience. There's also the unpredictable nature of the internet and my connection, and I love the idea of redundancy. I post all stream announcements on Twitter, Facebook and our private Discord.

Remember, it's less about the game, and more about coming together. Let's not have this "crisis" beat us. We're human. We're inventive. We stick together.

All the best my friends, and see you in Stardew Valley.
