I usually play all day unless I'm forced to go somewhere or after school or if my parents has someone over and I guess it would be rude to leave them and go play games. I do that anyways uwu
I'm a night owl. I find peacefulness at night, where I can just relax and do whatever. I'm usually physically doing something like hiking during the day.
Prefer to be ingame during the day but alas it's not always possible. When starting my town Rover assumed the time was still an hour ago from IRL time because of daylight savings and I didn't correct him because I realized it would let me still see the earlier parts of the day, even if only by a little. That way I still have time to do things without worrying as much about places closing
I'm fortunate (or unfortunate if you consider the circumstances, ahaha...) enough not to have many time-sensitive or scheduled responsibilities at the moment, so I've got a lot of free time, and most of it is spent in New Leaf since getting it a couple months ago. My partner told me the other day that I walk around like a zombie with my DS, like I'm "enslaved to it" because I'll be going round the house with it in one hand and like, pouring myself a drink with my free hand, without taking my eyes off the screen. LOL
Not like I never put it down, but I do have my DS on most of the time, so... it works out that I do play a lot. I'm likening it to how people use their phones. I don't have a cell, so this is my little piece of handheld technology that I'm always staring at.
I tend to do evenings that run into long nights and early morning when have time for long play nights are easier for catch up free time plus I don't sleep well. But if have to get up early will do a morning to mid afternoon occasionally but mostly end up at night or early am.
I'm primarily a night player, but I also play in the afternoons sometimes. The only time I play in the morning is if it's just to check turnip prices real quick.
