Are you playing Q3A, finishing or starting projects? Is your area in a lock-down?
I thought it might be nice to share some details in what is clearly an extraordinary time.
For me, we have been advised to not go out by the Government. Lots of places are closed, people have lost jobs.
I am also working on a Q3A map that I started a few years back. This is going well, but I have set myself some pretty high standards for it. There is a lot of complex brush work - which is a good challenge and also the reason why I'm enjoying it.
There has been more time with the immediate family - another great benefit of this hard situation.
And I have been really enjoying God of War on the PS4.
The state I live in allows me to go out and buy things, though some stores and restaurants are either closed or features like sitting at tables at Pizza Hut are currently unavailable. Some states like New York put a quarantine prohibiting people from leaving their homes at all, however our President wants to get everyone back to work within a week or two so we can recover our economy. The stock market has been a roller coaster all week long.
As for projects like making custom maps and mods, I'm in a similar boat as you Tig. I have two custom maps I'm making for Quake 3, a custom map unfinished for Garry's mod, a custom mod for Civilization IV: Colonization in the works, several custom maps for Star Wars: Battlefront (2004) I've barely started, a custom map I'm working on in Doom 2016, a custom map for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade I lost progress on due to the save file getting corrupted, a custom map for Dawn of War II: Retribution not fully packed together, and a race I haven't fully playtested and still haven't finished working on portrait pictures for in Space Empires IV.
I have a bad habit of getting ideas for custom content to make before losing interest in it until months (or years) later. Though people encouraging me as well as feeling upbeat helps me get back to doing it.

Now I've wrapped up the one in the queue I've decided to have a go at a bucket list item for Q3. A ctf map of my own design. Watch this space.
though for oa3 on the other hand I can finally try to map those different themes, motifs, and old plans i've made that I can't get any mapper to budge to do for ages. Hobby projects have their flaws
