Weird habits you find yourself doing

[Shellzilla_515]

After playing for many hours, I realized a few weird things I find myself doing while playing the game. One would be taking pictures of the nook miles + achievements before redeeming them, completing five doubled nook miles + achievements before redeeming, and quickly flicking the joystick in the opposite direction just before exiting/entering the loading areas. I sometimes even press the A button for no particular reason while walking around my island.

Share your weird habits when playing this game! I bet we're all weird in one way or another lol.

I often find myself talking to myself while playing the game, i felt I was streaming or something but in reality, I'm just talking to myself .-.

 

[Insulaire]

I have nicknames/plays on names in my head for all my villagers, even when their names aren’t very long

I don't know why, but I space out more than usual while playing Animal Crossing New Horizons. I know what I'm going to do, but I'll just stop moving my character and I'll just be sitting there staring at the screen going ???????? to myself.

 

[saucySheep]

I find myself saying things like "f--- you" to my villagers all the time

I take videos of conversations between my villagers even though I know it will be repeated at some point. A weird and significantly storage-reducing habit. I also button mash during loading screens.

I make my character run around in a circle when I get frustrated by something in-game, like losing a fish or scaring a bug. No idea why, it's just my fingers' reaction to failure I guess?

 

[RedPanda]

I definitely do the whole space out thing - I'll walk into my house and be like wait, why did I come here? What of the 1,001 random tasks that I was doing was this associated with?? Also I organize my player inventory all the time and I am constantly trying to keep an empty inventory (well, not including the top row, which is where 10 tools/etc go). Not sure if that's weird or not, lol. I also have a mini game I like to play with myself where I try to get the free piece of furniture before I get five wasps. I... I have no life. lol.

Every time I mess up catching a fish, I hunt down Quillson to whack him with my net.

Ahh I feel you, I'm so big on screenshotting everything. but especially lately it's becoming obsessive and annoying me! Do the same on laptop and phone to an extent too but argh AC screenshots are everything rn hahah

This isn't necessarily a weird habit but it definitely isn't good for my switch. I jam the joystick really hard when I want my character to go faster. Of course, it has no effect on the actual speed.

I find myself saying things like "f--- you" to my villagers all the time

When a villager is at home and sits on a chair just as you walked in to give them a gift, forcing you to leave and go back in.

I'm paranoid about some things but not so many weird habits here actually. I guess I constantly like to keep my inventory a little too tidy.

 

[Marshmallows]

I take too many screenshots (and none that are very good)... I need to purge a lot of them, but going through them is overwhelming.

I also hold my left joystick in the direction I'm swimming while diving... a little is normal for direction, but I press too hard and what really moves you is pressing A anyway. A habit I picked up in NL and still can't stop. I'm making an effort now though, last thing I want is to mess up the joycon.

I can't stand having seashells on my beach. Not sure why. I often check my beach and do random clean ups.

 

[daffy]

I check my inventory five times in five minutes even if I haven't picked up anything. As if I expect something cool to have miraculously appeared in my pockets somehow.

I take a lot of pictures sometimes it is off nothing good

When I visit someone's island to do a trade or, very recently, to play that Fair game where you run around the chairs, I get real nervous. And when that happens, I decide to start twirling my character around rapidly in a circle so I'm not just awkwardly standing there in virtual space (I also do a twirl while entering the airport, for absolutely no reason). During the Fair event, I started doing it while waiting for the other players, and all of the people who were already there with me joined in and we were all spinning like madmen for a few seconds. That was fun :')

 

[marshallows]

hmm not sure if it's a weird one but each time i have over 60k bells in my wallet, i have to go deposit it in the abd immediately.
i guess it has to do with pocket space since i like to utilize all my slots lmao. so i always carry just a little under 60k in my wallet at all times bc of this.

 

[Bluebellie]

I just run around my town sometimes. Not really doing anything, just running.

 

[Sharksheep]

I just walk around my island aimlessly a lot. Usually when I'm trying to figure out what to do when I probably should be doing something else. I still carry all of my tools on me even though I rarely pull out the ladder/vaulting pole and I don't really catch anything after getting enough for models and the museum.
