How are you COPING with the current situation, NeoGAF?

It is man.
I still am not sure is this a cry about ps5 being weaker then xbox or is this about the whole Covid situation.

I'm managing the best I can. I'm working from home and gaming once I'm done to help cope. I finally got around to playing Yakuza 5. Unfortunately, I struggle with anxiety. My mom is 65 and she's diabetic so I'm always thinking about her.

I'm doing fine. No work from home from me because I work in a hangar so I am relaxing at home playing Animal Crossing. Perfect game for the perfect fuckery thats going on in this world
 
For me, I'm trying my absolute best to make the best out of this situation. I haven't been able to sleep lately and my appetite for Doritos and Mountain Dew has dropped lower than my local stripper (I still don't forgive you, Cady.)

I still worry whether the situation right now could get any better. I've tried so hard lately but to no avail, and i'm reaching a point in my life whether i'd want my kids to live in this world anymore. I don't want to see them experience what i'm experiencing now.....

I hope Mark Cerny resolves this situation as soon as possible or else I can't see myself interacting with anyone in this world of NeoGAF. Please help, Daddy.

GAF, have you been feeling the same way? If so, how have you been coping with this new reality?

On Gaf at least

Maybe we should have separate sections on the forums for PlayStation discussion.
 
I'm a little scared because I have some health issues. And my father is meek at this point, and if he gets the virus I'm not sure he will make it.

Part of me is afraid to get the virus, but I'm even more afraid of getting it at a point where the health system is overflowing. And I wouldn't be able to get treatment. Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be best to get the virus right away, and beat it right now. Instead of waiting to get it at a time when I can't get treatment.

Also, I don't know what's gonna happen to the global economy because of this lockdown. So yeah, scary times. And I'm not sure how I'm coping with it. I feel like I'm not really. And that once this is behind us, I'll have PTSD.
 
I'm confused.

Is this thread about coping with the news that PS5 is weaker than the Xbox series X or the corona virus or both?

Either way the answer is the same for both, I'm in self isolation due to fears of people making me sick.
 
I am supposed to home school my son.. today we had PE and i made him go outside and run laps.
Tomorrow we will have a fire drill where I lock him outside for a couple hours...

Edit: Oh this is a PS thread... forget i said that

Neogaf may take months to recover... even even when the game trailers start to pop up.
Imagine, it will be a swarm of fanboys counting pixels.

I just hope someone could bring Silent Hill and Castlevania back.
 
I've reached that point where the BFG 10000 makes everything feel like it's going to be okay. I've taken my Vita and my Switch to work with me, but so far I've stayed pretty busy during lunch.
 
Having a toddler running around keeps me busy enough when im not working, throw in some toilet training on top of that and 90% of my time is gone!

So when I DO finally have a bit of time to myself, I've been on the PC and most recently, playing HL:Alyx. Still early in, up to chapter 2, but loving every moment!
Cerny's PS5 tech reveal quenched my curiosity for now, but would love to see some demo's.

I'm now hanging for the next Nintendo Direct!!
 
I wake up dead from the inside on a daily basis.... Yet during these times, I'm not sure if I want to keep being like this anymore. I wish everyone here for the very best. We all have a rough ass road ahead of us
 
My local EBgames has close down and I know they are doing right thing for their workers, but I'm concern about what gonna happen to my physical copy pre-orders for game like Persona 5 Royal, RE3 and FFVIIR.

PS5 is a beast. Games are gonna be amazing, especially first party games.

We got GG, ND, SSM, freaking Insomniac, PD, London, SP, Japan,MM, Bend, and Im sure Im leaving some out. What a resume that is.

Sony WWS is going to make the PS5 the gaming machine to own.

I have zero concerns.
 
Nintendo fanboy checking in. I'm used to having my main console being underpowered it aint so bad gameplay always trumps graphics. I still play old as$ SNES games & its still a blast. If PS5 has the franchises/series you enjoy, thats all that matters.
 
Im able to work from home and have been. They shut the office down the week before last and now extended until atleast mid april. Im also in a lockdown state.

i am not shaving though, im going to see how long i can get a mustache and beard going. Im also binging a lot of tv series right now, In between yakuza 0 sessions on xbox.

so its fine for me, i have a job, plenty of weed, food and toilet paper.

I'm excited as hell. I want to experience my favorite PS4 games in native 4K, higher framerate and one eighth of the loading times, while also awaiting amazing sequels for Horizon, God of War and Spider-Man. I also can't wait for Project Awakening Arisen to finally appear on my PS5.

I mean, Bloodborne at 4K and 60fps? Sign me the fuck up.

I don't give a crap about the 2TF difference. Cross-gen games won't look different at all between PS5/SeX because they'll have to run on a X-Box One S as well, which means the PS5 will be more than enough to handle them.

I believe in Cerny making the best with what he was given. My only worry is the cooling of the console. However, the fact that he acknowledged the loudness of the Pro and said we'll be happy with the PS5's results make me hopeful it won't be a freakin' jet.

Can't freaking wait.

And if Castlevania and Dino Crisis indeed returns? I'll have all my favorite IPs in their modern glory! Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Doom, Spider-Man, Castlevania, Elder Scrolls, X-COM, Dungeons & Dragons, Horizon, God of War, Devil May Cry, Dino Crisis … man, what a time to be an adult gamer!

Also, fuck Coronavirus. Fuck it hard.
