There is a long documentary about how the world has changed this last century and why consumerism has taken over the world. It also shows how things are done, from cars to Campbell soup and TV dinners. I am asking myself if I should buy an Atari as I don´t see vacations in the near future

Are you doing any special thing now that we have Covid?

That’s a wonderful channel to watch. No, I am keeping to a schedule to keep sane. Routine helps a lot!

@DianneN Yes routine helps, especially when one is not in a regular job. In today's jobs, there is so much work and non-work pressure that one hardly gets the time to think of routines !

@DianneN Yes else those who have to go outside everyday for work are at an increased risk.

I am having a sort o routine again now that I do workouts. When you live alone, you tend to do nothing if you cannot go out.

I'm quite sure Atari is no longer available. It's Xbox or Playstation now. That sounds like an interesting documentary. I'm doing the same thing I did before. Working on my book, going to the gym when I can. The special thing I did was get my knees replaced.

I am also keeping to a schedule and make the rounds of writing sites and keeping posting and blogging. In the evenings when I am done then I relax and watch some series or movies.

I suppose the only special thing I've started doing now that Covid has confined us to our homes is that I've started working again as retirement sucked because I couldn't go anywhere or do anything!!

@marguicha I'm a software developer. I can do most of my job from home so it works out quite well at the moment.

Well that makes me think how to get my TV repaired fast as we do have an alternative in YouTube but we do not instantly check on such content on YouTube. Yes History and similar channels are the ones which I too like. Well our special thing could be not going outside without masks and well keeping a larger stock of liquid hand wash and sanitizer and may be becoming lazier on certain days!

I'm debating whether to download Diablo II legally. I don't know whether I have time to play. But I want it for keepsake as well. Does Atari still exist? Haven't heard of it for so long.

No, my life has not really changed because of Covid, I cook more because we do not want to take risks ordering food and the restaurants are closed.

Life hasn't changed much for us so we haven't felt the need to do anything special.

I love the history channel, about the changes over the last century. They have interesting facts to offer. Now that COVID is raging, I'm reading one book right after another one.

The History Channel has a lot of interesting programming. I now have Hulu and Discovery+ and have a lot of different shows to watch. Nothing special here. Just going out a lot less.

Sounds like a good documentary. I would watch it! I am traveling less often, staying indoors more, and generally trying to avoid people as a result.

They have stopped showing all that How Do They Do It thing now its mainly about police chasing cars local stuff and World War Two the same documentaries over and over so hardly worth the time routine for me is a must.
