hundreds of hours. stuck with me throughout the worst years of my teenage life. spent multiple solitary holidays and lonely new years' with this. i never even paid off my house.
it doesn't feel the same going back to play it now. it's got its issues, but i'm tired of acting like Animal Crossing didn't peak here. i'm tired of lamenting the Animal Crossing I used to love and trying and failing to rekindle that with New Horizons. instead i'm going to forever cherish the time i had with it. it's now a time capsule to me, a reminder of some comfort that i always had during my worst years. i will always get emotional remembering my time with this game.
