Since I'm usually on my own when it comes to games, I turned to online games a while ago, specifically Guild Wars 2. It's one of those MMPORGs (massive multi-player online role-playing games) and it was big. I created one character and my goal was to get her to Level 80. I did but it took lots of time. Once I had achieved my goal and the game kept getting more and more complex, I stopped playing. That made me a little sad because Ryan and I could play together. It was fun raiding with him and I appreciated that he let a n00b (newbie not very good player) join him.
But now there's something else and at the perfect time — the Nintendo Switch and Animal Crossing New Horizons game. I have a Gameboy DS that Ryan got me for my birthday about 10 years ago and I occasionally play Animal Crossing Wild World on it. Animal Crossing is the perfect game for me — there's no fighting, swords, or complexity, just cute animals living their daily lives in a community. I got the Switch Lite when I heard this newest version of Animal Crossing was going to be released last Friday. I eagerly downloaded it and have only played for about 10 minutes, but I can see it's going to be a welcome diversion. And the best part of all is that Ryan and I can play together once again.
I still have laundry, cooking, grocery shopping, some work (most of that is on hold), reading, knitting, and taxes to do, but during my leisure time, you will most likely find me playing Animal Crossing unless Justin wants to play Monopoly (which I also have on my Switch!)
