is meteor shower a time sink

Is meteor shower a time sink?

all I do is look up, go afk, and spam "A". I do this for over 10 min at times when it's slow.

does anyone do anything else? I tried fishing or catching bug in between but I constantly miss the stars.

Everytime I’ve had a decent shower I just stick YouTube on for abit and have the volume on my switch loud enough so I can hear the twinkle, if it’s not a really decent one I just do things I need to do and most of the time there will be one after another so I’ll get at least one lol

 

[Aleigh]

For sure. I don't do anything else in fear I'll miss a star. My ocd just gets in the way

i find myself doing that too. I multitask at so many point during the game. I'm afk most of the time.

If I know there are stars I'll do quick things like check the beach for shells, dig up flowers, etc or else turn up the volume and switch to my computer

I think it's just something else to do for the people who are up too late~

Makes me happy when I'm on at 2am bored and lonely that I can see something beautiful like shooting stars.

i definitely just stand around and make sure i get at least 20 before doing anything else! it's a lot more fun with friends though!

How often are you all getting meteor showers? I haven’t had one since the very first time they did it. And I totally get the multitasking thing, I feel like lately I’ve needed to watch Netflix or YouTube while I play or else I get so bored so quickly. But I don’t think I would be able to do that if I did get a meteor shower because I’d be afraid of missing stuff

not enough. the game drags at time.

I agree, I hope once it’s been a full year since the release and they’ve put in all the updates that it’ll be better and more engaging. It just kind of feels lacking rn

If it's a light shower, I just play normally. You get 5-8 per minute until the minute change. If it's a major shower, I'll sit there until I get 20 or 100 wishes depending if I'm on my island or someone else's island. If it's a friend's island, I'll run around and see what they have done and water some flowers.

You can use a turbo controller they’re pretty cheap. It’ll click a for you the whole time and you can go do something else

When I'm really going ham for meteors I usually do it while I have a movie on or something. Then I have some nice background noise for entertainment and I can still hit meteors since it really doesn't require your full attention.

In the early game I thought about buying one of these controllers and leave it over night to get hundred of stars the next day. Got a meteor shower and was disappointed the next day.

i’ll usually just watch something or browse the forums while there’s a shower going on, as if i try to do anything else in-game, i’ll definitely miss stars lol

 

[John Wick]

I hit the stars 200 times the first time, and got a lousy 15 star fragments.

i know the feeling.

 

[FireNinja1]

Depends on what you consider to be a "time sink". I think that you can get enough wishes in a short enough time span so that it's worth it, especially with how valuable star fragments seem to be.

 

[pawprints]

I sit and watch them. I just think it's neat.

I used to try and do other stuff during the showers. But I would stare at the sky for 5 minutes and there'd be nothing, and as soon as I tried to do something else, I'd miss out on 3 stars. Now I do the afk thing for a few hours at a time, but somehow only get like 10 star fragments the next day.
