Guys I got a little too high and I just gotta say, I love this moment. Animal Crossing has always meant a lot to me (maybe I'll tell the story some day) and seeing a game in the series come out and meet all my expectations, and see so many of my friends play it, means so much.
And I know this moment won't last, that I'll be looking back at this time a year down the line, or six years, and remembering all these online adventures and struggles to build the best islands possible, and how I met up with over a dozen different AC players in more than 50+ online sessions, and we played the fuck out of the game and helped each other and played together.
Again, I'm too high, but I dread the time a year from now when I'm playing every day, or couple days, checking in, and never seeing anyone on my friends list online... the fact everyone is online all the time right now is fucking great. I know it's partly Coronoavirus, but it's mostly launch-nearness. I just hope people will let me hop over to their islands in 6 months or a year, or in five years. As the ACNL thread shows I'm fine playing solo and making progress on my own, playing for 3-4 month stretches every year, year after year, but man, it means so much more when there's at least someone out there playing too.
Anyways, already ranted too much, back to your regularly scheduled New Horizons love fest.
