D&D and the rising pandemic

I tried playing D&D online with the group but I hated it.

Didn't even bother online. It's a social thing and not everyone had headsets.

I haven't tried online gaming recently (eg, not during covid), but I have in the past. It was fine, not as nice as face-to-face obviously, but it worked well enough. My main issue as GM was that it increased my prep time.

I tried online, but most of my group couldn't, and the few PbP campaign threads I started died.

Or inject UV light into yourself. It doesn't have to be said, because how are you even going to do it?

WITH LASERS!!!1!

That's it, everyone needs to shove a UV laser pointer (does that exist?) up their butt right now. Maybe it will cure Coronavirus! What do you have to lose?

I was thinking more like using fiber optic cable to do it intravenously, but if you want to go the brute force route, that's fine...

P.S. This somewhat complicated because I know the benefits of medical lasers for many applications. My wife has one to treat pain and help wound healing and such. But it's IR, not UV...

Yeah, UV light is infamous for causing cancer, sunburns, and just generally being terrible.

Lasers can be good, for possibly shooting down asteroids, some medical procedures, and science, but it's definitely not recommended to shine UV at yourself on purpose.
