Animal Crossing in Isolation
03/29/2020
I'm really fortunate to be part of a group of people who are pretty much all playing Animal Crossing right now. It's basically the perfect game to play when you're not supposed to leave your house.
Everyone plays this game differently. I'm currently trying to get my house finished, so I can work on infrastructure of my island, then my interior decoration. So many people approach it differently and the people whose islands I've visited have all been so creative and personal.
I often find relationships very difficult. I tend to over-compensate and show off because it's quantifiable when someone's impressed or they laugh, but Animal Crossing forces the focus onto other people. Everything you place on your island says something about you and I love seeing how people build out their worlds.
