Okay, here is my Quarantine Qrew! Steve Carell: By all accounts, he is a super nice guy, and he is also hilarious. Lin Manuel-Miranda: Also an amazing human, and can play the piano and do musical theater singalongs. Michelle Obama: I feel like she would be a great island leader and person to talk to. Dominique Crenn: I…

@Paul Mata it's your week at last! you can start your thread anytime, since it's Friday in Sydney 🦘

This is a difficult one for me. There's the characters you hate because you're supposed to, and the ones you hate because they're bad characters. In hindsight, Xander from Buffy is pretty problematic so I think he would fall into the latter category. In terms of hateable villain, Delores Umbridge is a pretty great one. 

@Matt Doar Mr. Collins is a perfect love-to-hate for me!

@DPKJ it is Friday (and May) at Atlassian headquarters! Feel free to start your thread anytime. 

@Shaun Sheehan my friends and I are big Board Game Arena fans! We've been playing Sushi Go too, and also some heavier games like Seasons and Tzolkin. My family group has been playing more casual games, like Cards Against Humanity online and Jackbox.tv games (Fibbage is really fun.) I've been enjoying Let's Make Art…

We did a 1000-piece unicorn and are currently working on a building. I have a Degas one ready to go next!

@Mike Rathwell I've been doing some of these too, including: * Try blue hair (fail) * Purge linens (success)

@Bridget you've got some new badge-earners in this thread! 😊

It worked, the turquoise one is arriving on Tuesday....

@Shaun Sheehan it's your week! It's Friday at HQ, so post your thread anytime! 🎉

@Kat Warner I defeated the Akinator! I was thinking of John Ritter and it guessed Red Skelton. I'm guessing because I said yes to "associated with the color red." Little does Akinator know that John Ritter voiced Clifford the Big Red Dog! 

@LarryBrock I ran across this the other day, it lets you control the direction of spinning by looking at the left or right versions!

@Jimmy Seddon omg that looks GREAT. I have been thinking about getting a Switch and this may be the thing that pushes me over the edge... thank you!

@Jimmy Seddon I thought it was just me! Do you know any other games with the same mechanic? Like turn-based fighting? I think Final Fantasy does that but I'm less interested in that theme... 

Other games I have loved: * Glitch (almost tied for my all-time favorite... might even be my favorite now that I think of it... RIP Glitch) * King's Quest II * Diablo II * Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (a turn-based fighting game, I loved the mechanics and theme of this) * Many other Sim games: Roller Coaster Tycoon,…

Welcome @Nicole Lubanowski and @Jenney_Ward We've got two fun topics going on this fine Friday, favorite computer game of all time and a one-hour virtual call with anyone, real or fictional. (The first one was easy for me to answer, the second one not so much.) 

"You’re working from home not homing from work." I want to put this on a wall hanging, @Justin van Dyk!

@Pawan Kumar my dedicated workspace right now is in the living room since my house is too small for an office! 

@Vas V I also love working from home, typically! But working from home during this time, when my partner and child are also home, is somewhat trickier. But I love skipping the commute and the dressing up, being able to really focus, and having time to work out in the morning. 

My favorite of all time has to be The Sims. I even used to have a Sims blog where I would chronicle the stories of the Sims. For example here is a screenshot of episode 12 in which my main Sim character, Moey, falls in love with Darth Vader.

I was so addicted to Diablo II!

@mrcrandell.sw I think I might pick one of my ancestors! Maybe my biological maternal grandmother, who I never knew. She seemed pretty awesome. 

Everyone knows we're in a computer simulation. 

@Anne Bihouee gorgeous picture!

@Jack Brickey my best friend and I (and Mina) are solving some cases with Sherlock via this game! Super fun, you might enjoy. 

@Ollie Guan you are eagle-eyed! For various reasons we need to retire the monthly badges. A few have disappeared already but I'll do a post when we retire the rest. Some will have replacements coming out (or have already been replaced), and there will be a commemorative badge for collectors. 

@mrcrandell.sw it's your week and it's Friday in Sydney! Feel free to post your Friday Fun thread anytime.

@Dominic Lagger I know, it's a big leap of faith! You're all signed up :) 

@Esme Crutchley I added you wherever! lol
