I am going to fire up the Switch and play Animal Crossing for a few minutes like it's 2020, because (1) it is arguably more useful than me reading social media right now and perseverating and (2) I need 15 min in a place where my worst problem is that I shook a wasp out of a tree - ThreadSky

I always pull out my net before shaking trees, that way I can catch the wasps. Have fun on your island! 🏝

darndraper.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm replaying FF7: Rebirth for this exact same reason

taguestans.bsky.social•4 days ago

if you need bells hmu i have gardens full of gold roses. come with empty pockets.

fredutger.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's scary when you shake a wasp out of a tree though.

dameofgroans.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can’t stress the effectiveness of making the perfect snowboy in the midst of a depressive episode.

designerscott.bsky.social•4 days ago

Animal Crossing is fun :)

disturbeco.bsky.social•4 days ago

I've become a gamer in my 40s primarily to supplant doomscrolling

tracingfigureights.bsky.social•4 days ago

me with mysims to be honest

cindysku.bsky.social•4 days ago

the new hello kitty game is fun

owzleee.bsky.social•4 days ago

I went back recently. So many weeds. Don’t do it.

amygillespie94.bsky.social•4 days ago

Good luck playing for only a few mins lol

volcanicsand.bsky.social•4 days ago

don't forget about scorpions

motherofdingoz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Doing this now. I haven’t played in months, but I need some cute animal time.

heyfreckles.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’ve been playing Stardew Valley for hours on end to keep myself sane from all the news 🥲

socomomof2.bsky.social•4 days ago

I will bring you medicine that I will craft for you sting. Play freely.

catastrophickaty.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hold up…you can craft medicine?

herrific.bsky.social•4 days ago

If you want new content, I go between ACNH and Palia, which is free to play

maestress.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stardew been on repeat for me for the last 4 months. Brain seized? Stardew. Doom scrolling? Stardew. Bad things? Stardew.

fox-fields.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is the journey I've been on since just after Christmas, after finally getting 1.6 update on Switch. I looove all the new stuff!

legendary-spud.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ever watched Moomin? It also has this kind of vibe

disgrosstinggg.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wanted to play animal crossing but monster hunter currently has me in a chokehold

............now I want monster hunter villagers. not just palicos either, let me hang out with a big fat lazy great jagras or a snooty rathian

fox-fields.bsky.social•4 days ago

I did this today. My villagers were big mad at me 😂😭

peculiarsusan.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don’t even want to look. Months of weed pulling ahead.

holdtheolives.bsky.social•4 days ago

I still crush candy when I need an escape

draccah.bsky.social•4 days ago

i think this may be what i need to learn next

bolos99.bsky.social•3 days ago

I picked it up for the first time in January and it is one of the only things that brings me peace

hollywould775.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m home sick and started playing Dreamlight Valley, I think I played for 6 hours. I feel ya.

kgwrites.bsky.social•4 days ago

Water flowers, go fishing, listen to happy music and be at peace for a bit.

arcadecreative.bsky.social•3 days ago

Diablo 3. Switch. Level 70 (363). Play on normal difficulty. Cozy game of all time.

drdar.bsky.social•4 days ago

Great idea. Shaking trees soon.

unknownartizt.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hell, I might charge up my Switch just to play AC. I *need* to just..... forget.

yagirltrish.bsky.social•4 days ago

I started a new island right after Trump got elected!

vulcanvampire.bsky.social•4 days ago

AC and Fae Farm have been my healing games!

itsjustjoshy.bsky.social•4 days ago

That game got me through lockdowns

1stgenmillionaire.bsky.social•4 days ago

2020 this was peak comfort! I think I’ll do the same 🥹

stephaniemiaco.bsky.social•4 days ago

Haha this is pretty fresh. I have a Switch myself and an island that hasn’t been freshened up in a while. I’ll go and do some swimming and fishing there for fun. Thanks!

introverts4pete.bsky.social•4 days ago

Waving to you from my pocket camp

phosphate777.bsky.social•4 days ago

I love Pocket Camp

bigcitytrouble.bsky.social•4 days ago

I've been revisiting the old Tony Hawk games as of more recently. Also, I now kinda want to revisit my old town in Animal Crossing

oomartintenbonesoo.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have one more fish and one more bug to catch to complete my museum!!

xhepy.bsky.social•4 days ago

who needs social media when Rosie lives on my island

qarylla.bsky.social•4 days ago

That sounds like a good thing to do. I want my problems to include not enough room for more grass in my pockets.

arrowintotheair.bsky.social•4 days ago

may your present balloons float over your island in convenient places

dawnterese.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hitman is scratching an itch for me

n8erboi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Gotta give a hell yeah to this idea

seanjbates.bsky.social•4 days ago

...Have you ever been to Pelican Town in a certain Valley? 👀

ronneh.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not a bad idea

hapyhapyshoiy.bsky.social•4 days ago

That game got me through some serious grief when my mom died. However, the most cathartic part was erasing my entire “grief” island a few years later, when I was ready. Enjoy!

thepixelteapot.bsky.social•3 days ago

I started Stardew Valley again also started FF7 rebirth! Can confirm life improved! 🙌🏻

thepixelteapot.bsky.social•3 days ago

If it’s been a while your main issue will be roaches 🤣

veebeejay.bsky.social•3 days ago

I set aside 20 minutes a day to play Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Daily tasks include giving gifts, collecting shells, baking pastries 💖

martinlevesque.bsky.social•4 days ago

If you want to get revenge on old dinosaurs then play Ark Survival Mobile on the switch.

jwoel.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was absolutely loving this, the new company overhaul is amazing. But then they added the doom mosquitoes, and my game spawned one like every ten feet in the swamp.
And of course I ran quite a ways through that swamp as a result.
So that save file is a hellscape now. Watch out for that I guess

martinlevesque.bsky.social•3 days ago

I lost a PT (level 142) by it yesterday. If you know about the show Naked and Afraid, I was like that after my PT died. After a solo fight against a T-Rex, I managed to get back home with a level 70 PT.

I still love the game.

martinlevesque.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wasn't thinking about that giant insect until I was attacked by it. So now I think I want one. 😃

vickilee1022.bsky.social•4 days ago

you just missed Festivale on Monday! maybe change your switch clock to set it back for a good party dance time (which I have def never done)

swiffy.bsky.social•4 days ago

My island must hate me so much now. I don't think I dare

menageri.org.uk•4 days ago

… and all of a sudden my hindbrain is reminding me to have a net in hand while shaking trees.

amias.net•3 days ago

absolutely , trying to pay attention to every aspect of this is impossible. That's part of how and why they do it , they want everyone worried and stressed out , on the hop making bad decisions. So its totally ok to prioritise yourself care and be in your happy place so you have the strength for it.

ktwinters.bsky.social•4 days ago

Am I the only one who feels a lot of guilt when booting up ACNH after a long amount of time? Not only do you have to fumigate your house, but your island's visitors are all passive aggressive about your absence. Though not as cozy as ACNH, I've been enjoying Dave the Diver for mostly chill vibes.

emilykibbler.bsky.social•4 days ago

THIS

maestress.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes! The messy hair, the house pests, the snark from villagers. And having to charge my switch that I haven't used in 2 years. I don't even know if it still works at this point.

hollywould775.bsky.social•3 days ago

I just started my island over from scratch last night. I haven’t touched it in two years. I also hinged Dreamlight Valley today.

nicoleinabox.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stardew Valley has been keeping me from boiling over lately if you need an AC alternative!

gigi0923.bsky.social•4 days ago

I support this activity!

rebelbagel.bsky.social•3 days ago

I found my 3ds charger yesterday and have been considering hopping back into ACNL

grannylib-51.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm gonna stuff myself full of Thai food and cupcakes to celebrate my son's 47th birthday. Waaaaay better than social media any day.

antifa-operator.bsky.social•4 days ago

Enjoy! 😊

balmies.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m on Hello Kitty Island Adventure and the only thing I have to worry about is what I’m going to gift to the characters.

gcole3533.bsky.social•3 days ago

A+ self-care strategy. Sometimes we all need a break where the biggest stressor is a virtual wasp.

diancecht.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sounds like an excellent idea, I might do the same

comraderaccoon.bsky.social•4 days ago

Felt that lmao

rossac.bsky.social•4 days ago

Animal Crossing saved me through the lockdowns. That's such a great idea. Might fire up my Switch now too.

greatmoth.bsky.social•4 days ago

I've been doing this for months. 🫠 Everything is too stressful.

nabsiegel.bsky.social•3 days ago

What's your island name?

roeyourvote.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m playing backgammon

mimihugs.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stardew Valley is my break from the madness. I can focus on my animals and crops lol

hardxcoded.bsky.social•4 days ago

in the meantime, I am taking Link for a walk in Hyrule kingdom to clear my head a little bit

celestina7.bsky.social•3 days ago

Had same thought tonight. Might just start the whole thing over. (Psst love your name, it’s actually mine as well. 🙂

chamberhoo.bsky.social•4 days ago

I started a new island about 2 weeks ago 🤷🏻‍♀️🫠

spicedrum.bsky.social•4 days ago

I started a new game of that a few weeks ago, and between that and Stardew Valley, it's been a chill vibe in my evenings.

racerx93.bsky.social•4 days ago

Enjoy the break. We all need one.

leninyouahand.bsky.social•3 days ago

Good idea. I will steal it

tommya420.bsky.social•4 days ago

I've been enjoying the hell out of Disney Dreamlight Valley lately. Lot of similar animal crossing vibes

hollywould775.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same, just started it yesterday and binged this afternoon.

traceyzeee.bsky.social•4 days ago

It is what gets my daughter through these dark days.

torchpatness.bsky.social•3 days ago

where my worst problem is catching the same worthless fish over and over. lol

booksrlife.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m right there with you. Putting down the phone and picking up my book: There Are Rivers In The Sky by Elif Shafak. What are you reading?

wafflemom.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh man I remember when Animal Crossing was the only thing keeping me sane at the beginning of the pandemic. It was what we needed at the time.

jerseycurl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thinking of prepping my island for the 5 year anniversary. #AnimalCrossing

praleen.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh gosh, it's been 5 years already ?! 😱 It feels like it got out yesterday !

thebookwyrmshoard2.bsky.social•4 days ago

Done that for the last couple of nights 10/10 recommend.

ashheyo.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’ve been playing the sims & spiritfarer

aliedh.bsky.social•4 days ago

That game got me through 2020 and I just reset my little island a few weeks ago for the same reason! Play on!

zankabo.bsky.social•3 days ago

I actually restarted my island a couple weeks ago because it just felt like the right vibe now.

owlbearqueen.bsky.social•3 days ago

May the money trees be ever fruitful

lizzz1968.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am doing the last three Zelda's. My go to relaxers. Switch Jr. For me. I have little hands.😉

jenforreal.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’ve been playing a dangerous amount of Hello Kitty Island Adventure to escape The Horrors. It’s on switch now.

aliedh.bsky.social•4 days ago

I was just looking at this as an ACNH replacement!

jerseycurl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thinking about getting it but it got lackluster reviews. Need a new game!

fox-fields.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's pretty ho-hum 😩 it definitely deserves the pass

phosphate777.bsky.social•4 days ago

BG3 and The Sims 2...

Enjoy your time!!

trunksx.bsky.social•4 days ago

GameCube one was the best cause of the free nes games

malihoy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Picking weeds seems great

drpowers.bsky.social•4 days ago

snoutabout.bsky.social•3 days ago

Post like yours remind me when i've been on social media for too long. Time for The Witcher 3 in Steam Deck.
