What do you do as you play your game? Is your favorite non-game music playing? Your cat sitting on your lap? The ACNH guide book open? A printed out flower hybrid guide? Your ACNH journal? Lists?
Every day, while I play my game, I'm also watching a Twitch streamer play his game on my other monitor. I'm addicted to both my game and his stream because he's been trying to get Judy island hopping, and he's spent over 1,330 tickets and he still hasn't found her. Instead, he's had 3 Raymonds. I am in awe of his patience and perseverance.
my cat's always sitting on my lap wherever i am ,,, me playing ac isn't an exception !!! i listen to jpop, watch boku no hero, or listen to igumdrop's twitch streams <3
usually i'll watch a streamer/youtuber that i'll like, or i'll listen to a podcast (mostly a lot of mcelroy stuff lately). and yes, usually while my cat hangs out with me.
for my morning session i just focus on playing, while in my more chill evening session i'll listen to podcasts or have sugermega or game grumps in the background!
I sometimes listen to music (maybe half the time) And I usually have TBT open Unless I'm playing with my friends in which case I will have Discord open!!
Honestly? I keep my phone on my lap, and I often look at a few threads on here, some messages on telegram/Whatsapp/discord... And I also keep a couple bottles of water around, as I'm constantly drinking water. I also get some coffee, two or three cups, nothing special.
I rotate between playing handheld and on the TV about 50/50, but I'm always either listening to crime documentaries or country music lol. I still keep the game music on, but it's turned down.
I always listen to audiobooks or watch youtube! Lately it's been more youtube, but when i'm entering a lot of items into my list I've got to switch to the audiobook. As mentioned, I always have my catalog list open, too. When my bf is over, we play together and talk.
I tend to listen to the game's music and my Spotify 50/50 depending on my mood. The one thing I consistently do while playing AC:NH is browse TBT. I'm always on the lookout for crafting threads with DIYs I don't have, or selling threads with items I want.
im living at my parents house right now and my sister is home too, and so ive been playing acnh a lot with my sister! (we have separate switches and separate isalnds.) we both sit on the couch and take turns playing on the tv in the morning. sometimes we also play together in my room at night while watching a twitch stream (which is usually pokemon online battling in sword and shield).
When I play, my corgi puppy looks at me with pure disappointment and makes sure he does something naughty so I give him attention. I can only play properly when he's napping or when someone offers to puppy sit him Cannot wait till he's a little older so he can just chill beside me and lose all that energy!
