this is such a nice thread idea. the way that animal crossing helps to remind of you of the sweet, pleasant parts of life is so lovely. it's different to any other game i've played. just being able 2 sit on a log bench by the river, while the sun sets behind the trees, can make u feel so relaxed and calm. it can take u out of anything hard thats happening in real life, so u can just live in ur serene little town for a while and forget.
