Gamers and the Coronavirus

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Meme, Reddit

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

For many Americans in the middle of this pandemic, not being able to go outside understandably sucks. Personally, I also wish that I could go back outside and talk with friends after being inside for so long. But, I have a friend to stick with me in the middle of this disaster of a year- called video games. They're a life-saver, and have saved me from many hours of boredom, and even allow me to be with friends in a way I can't in real life.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
