It's very tempting to rot in bed or hide in your home. But doomscrolling won't make you feel better. Maybe you have things to do, plans you've made, friends to see, places you wanted to donate. Pick one thing. Breakfast, meds, clothes or a shower? I know you can do it. One thing at a time.

Me at 3am, wanting ice cream: Open the freezer door, HAL. (pause) HAL, open the freezer door!

I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

Solmyr’s Known World 1010 AC, 24 miles per hex For an introduction to Aleksei Andrievski’s maps, see the article for Solmyr’s Alphatian Region. This is another of his CC-DOS maps, made by Aleksei in October 1997, then shared on his web site (with an announcement on the MML) in March 1998.

Today the Atlas of Mystara: Aleksei Andrievski’s Known World 1010 AC, 24 miles per hex from February 1998. This is his last CC-DOS map, and as with his Glantri map, it seems slightly unfinished. After this he moved onto political maps for PBEM games.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk, talking as they go. Green: You know what's wild about people who are good at keeping secrets? Blue: What? Green: You might not even know if you know one! People who keep their mouth shut don't brag about it. You could know someone who is sitting on a murder confession and never find out. Blue turns to look at Green, who looks back at him. Blue: ...What?

The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump

How about THE CASE OF THE TOXIC SPELL DUMP? Technology through magic rather than engineering, in the tradition of MAGIC, INC. and OPERATION CHAOS, only with puns. Lots of them.
