Quick thoughts on Coronavirus and work from home culture

The Coronavirus is the biggest disruption in daily life I've seen since 9/11. This is really crazy and scary times. I am concerned about my family, friends, and my team. Hopefully we'll make it all through this. Stay safe. Don't panic. We'll get through it.

Due to my introversion, I've gotten a lot of work done at my home as opposed to being around people. I wonder how this is going to change how we view work from home going forward. I hope for the better.

This is totally a post about Sonic Mania and not about Super Tuesday

So I've been playing Sonic Mania the past few days--

You know, from a series that has been long thought left for dead with its poor performance, I have been very surprised about the series comeback. The way Mania brought Sonic back from the dead and exceeded everyone's expectations.

In recent times I thought Sonic was very incoherent and lacked a lot of direction, and was sure that he was going to drop out. And then people came together to endorse Sonic... to bring Sonic back from the ashes at the last minute. It's been very surprising to see Sonic doing so well.

Just to be clear, we're talking about Sonic Mania.

Sonic Mania. ...*twitch*
