Jan. 29th, 2021 08:15 pmIt was really nice to spend time with Taylor today. Mostly we just did stuff over voice chat on Discord, though we also saw each other in person for a little while at a park.
A lot of what we do when we hang out is media stuff - we read stuff to each other, watch shows, listen to podcasts, and Taylor plays through games I don't have the consoles/time/skill to play. While we could do some of that on our own and just talk or text about it, that isn't the same as doing it together.
So today we did all of the above, but doing our best to emulate as much "together-in-person" as we could.
- We finished reading Network Effect, the most recent Murderbot book, over voice chat.
- We watched one more episode of The Umbrella Academy by counting down before hitting play and then chatting over voice.
- We got together for a couple hours at one of the local parks, taking a walk around on this unseasonably (almost 60 degrees!) warm day, and sitting on a bench and talking, before heading back to our respective homes.
- We listened to three more episodes of The Magnus Archives while text chatting.
- Using Discord's screen share Taylor streamed themself playing Okami for an hour or so.
It's not the same as actually being in-person, but it was still nice to spend the day doing stuff together.
