gollark: This is cool, I have apparently been randomly picked for a COVID-19 testing study.
gollark: I don't really like old games, and I generally had a lot of free time *anyway*.
gollark: Mostly fine. It's better than school, at least. It would be nice if I could actually try some new activities or something though, since that stuff seems to mostly be shut down.
gollark: I am hoping that whoever is behind that won't decide to try something like this again, but I bet *someone* will think "ah yes, this is a great idea, we'll just lie because it's mildly more convenient, that can't go wrong in the long term".
gollark: ... yes, that.
