Coronavirus Thread

It's shit like this that's why GameStop is the worst and is a company that deserves to join the ranks of Blockbuster Video: dead.
i think maybe someone with more power than GameStop Corporate thinks they have is putting a stop to this because im seeing reports on Twitter of people receiving calls from their local store telling them to come get their preordered copies on animal crossing now instead of tomorrow
 
Even going by their logic, most games are downloadable right?
Yeah but some people love that physical copy though, and two big preorders - Animal Crossing New Horizons and Doom Eternal - drop “tomorrow” but like i said theyre releasing them tonight.

i assume they were hoping to get away with it because stores like Walmart will still be able to sell copies and they dont want to risk losing preorder returns because they werent open for people to come get them.
 
Since it looks like this may go much longer than anticipated, I'm going to need more groceries. I really didn't want to go out for two weeks straight, but I can't wait until we're completely out of food if quarantine will continue past that.
 
Haven't heard anything from work over my weekend, so I'm going to assume business as usual tonight. BUT...

Pennsylvania has ordered all hotels to close. That's a clue to what happens next.

I'm already not able to get rent AND car insurance AND prescriptions AND food AND phone. That alternator repair wiped me out. That one $400 emergency you're supposed to save for? Try FIVE AT ONCE. And that was before the virus.
 
On the bright side, you legally cannot be evicted during this. I'm not saying this isn't going to be tough for you and everyone, but you wont be homeless.
 
I can't find the logistics of the US-Canada border shutdown. Can people cross back into their home country even after the shutdown happens?
 
They've shut down my store, no customers today! Oh, 4 people still have to work to do that things that happen every day anyway, I still work.
 
Was at Costco the other day and a 400 million pack of batteries was still cheap and available. My Xbox One controller will never be wanting.

We have so much room for activities!

So out of 7 building on campus they're going to close down 5. I'll be on a rotating schedule or reduced hours or something. Not 100% sure yet because why actually keep us in the loop?
 
My job is literally giving remote support to customers, most of which are now closed. Yet somehow, my employer can't work out how to let us work from home? This is ridiculous.

Some people have trouble adjusting to new things or adopting new ideas.
I'm guessing your board consists of many such people.

If not, there's a lot of people down here in AZ who are going to be really screwed when it comes time for them to return home...

You guys should listen to this. You thought GameStop was evil before. Well you ain't seen nothing yet.

 
So I'm off next week, and then work reduced hours the week after and then off and so forth until back to normal
 
I literally want to spit in the mouths of Albertans right now who bitched and moaned and cried about the minimum increase we got last year. Fuck you. Those deemed necessary, like grocery store staff, fucking deserve it. This fucking selfish piece of shit province. Those mother fuckers are front-lining this bullshit to make sure you can hoard your fucking toilet paper.
