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.
Been so long since I started my island, I’ve mostly forgotten how the early game looks.
Though you’ll probably have a slightly different (and mostly better) experience, because we early players had to wait for a lot of content to be patched in. And you’re starting with all the QoL stuff from 2.0 and 3.0, which is great too.

Have you played Dinkum? How do you think they compare?
I haven’t actually. It’s the first I’m hearing of the game. What’s it like?
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.
You’re correct. I’ll try and recall what are the similarities with those 3 games. Been a while since I’ve played.
Across all three
With Animal Crossing
With Stardew Valley
Dinkum only
There are probably more similarities but these are the ones off the top of my head.
