I recently download animal crossing new horizons to my switch. I hadn't played animal crossing since i was about 10. This a brought a new enjoy to my life and might be the reason why I haven't been as active with my blog opps sorry. I have been having fun creating my house and island. I haven't gotten that far with it yet therefore I wouldn't share much of my island yet but will be sure to share pictures in the future.
Animal crossing has given me so much in a time in this world that been a bit weird. As I am writing this the UK is in lockdown due to COVID 19. I have not done a post on this as I find it weird and unlike a lot of other blog writers I am still working full time in mental health services therefore, I haven't had the protective isolation everyone else has. I have been carrying on with my normal 9-5 Job . However animal crossing has filled those gaps when I have been alone with little to do in the evening and weekends and just wanted to switch off from my day.
Animal crossing hasn't just been a place for me to loss myself in when the world feels a little rubbish. It as made me talk to people I haven't done in years. I always felt I didn't have much to talk about with people as I didn't have a hobby. Now I am playing a game a lot of other people are interested in, I feel I can share in the enjoy of animal crossing with others.
I like that fact the animal crossing is based in real time as it means that I can't binge play it and get bored of it. Plus new events happen all the time so it makes me want to log on each day to see what has happened while I have been away. The one thing that is frustrating is that when I do just want to spend hours playing I can't however.
TIPs:
I am using youtube to give me inspiration for my island and to teach me cool things to do. I recommend people doing this if they are stuck for things to do.
I recommend if you have just started the game thinking about where you place buildings as I placed mine all over the place and now I am kinda stuck with that. Think about what you can do ,not just to your home but outside on the island.
Enjoy and connect with other people's islands as much as you can to share fruit and other things.
