Today’s game is Animal Crossing New Horizons. My friends have been begging me to get a copy so I can play multiplayer with them. I finally caved. I refuse to spend anywhere near full price though for this game so I did some looking around and managed to find it going for a much more reasonable ~40$ USD in my area. Which is a great deal for me. Now I don’t have to borrow my friend’s digital copy and he can join me.

When my friend joined me, we were wearing the exact same clothes and the exact same eye and blush. He had to start over so this is all his starting stuff, so the coincidence that we both match is hilarious to us.

He kept getting disconnected though, which brings me to my first point. Maybe it’s my network, but this game has poor multiplayer as my friend keeps getting disconnected. We ended up only playing for around 40 minutes before lost him and we decided to quit.

I kept going for a bit, but I ended up fishing to max out Blather’s tent. Honestly, I forgot Blathers was even there. I had put him there like a month ago when I was borrowing my friend’s copy. But I check in and wander around for a bit before accidentally entering Blather’s tent.

Anyways. I gave him like 5 fish and saved. It didn’t feel like there was much else for me to do except wait. I didn’t want to time travel so I guess I’ll pop in tomorrow and see how things are doing with him.

    From what I’ve seen, it’s kind of a mix of Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, with a larger map, biomes, and slightly more danger.
