I know exactly how you feel @GalacticGal. I haven't had any email mishaps, but my schoolwork keeps getting in the way of my Game&Chill time... even. in. lockdown!! I'm a loner too, so it's not specifically the social isolation part that's getting to me; plus I'm a new user who finds this forum super helpful to connect with other gamers especially in these times. Just the part where the school system still feels the need to penetrate the lives of students even when hardship is hitting the world!
P.S.: The bright side to your situation is, even though I'm sure your game will totally be recovered, it's always refreshing to start new households and stories. You know?
