#special intersts

Hi so with fading SpIn’s I’d take this time to take an introspective look into yourself and your surroundings. What’s going on in your life that could possibly be the cause of the fade? Have you been busy lately, could it be depression, have you burned out from it from doing the SpIn so much?

Animal Crossing is my ultra SpIn and you aren’t alone in the burnout from what I’ve gathered. A lot of people end up finishing their towns or they get to a point where the game becomes too repetitive for them. Timetravel and seeing and doing too much of everything because of the time-traveling is another reason people burn out. Not enough action basically is what all of this points to and lack of new experiences. That isn’t the point of Animal Crossing though it’s a cute game that’s meant to play it how you want to and play at your pace. Ultimately to play at a day by day only for a hour or two would be ideal but again it’s meant to be played how you want.

This is how I get the most out of the game:

I separate my Animal Crossing chores into different times throughout the day so I can continuously go on it and take time off to break things up.

And I try and not get DIY’s from other people unless it’s from the one friend I currently have added into my list.

I’ve only ever traded for items once and I wait for things to show up in Nook’s Cranny.

And I don’t time travel.

Aside from that honestly what has helped people the most, is starting their town over from scratch. For personal reasons. I’ve been considering it for a while but ultimately I’ve decided to buy a switch lite exclusively to have another town. Because I hate that you can’t have more than one island STILL.

I’m trying to learn Japanese myself how did you end up doing it?

I started following on Facebook a very large group for my secret special interest to try and emerge myself more. An make this less of a secret but I’m starting to regret it. It’s becoming very over stimulating to me and parts of the comfort I receive from this SpIn is really clashing with the group. I don’t want to be out of the loop and I still would like information on any updates. I really wanted to talk about it with other people too but maybe it’s just for the best right now that I refrain from that.

So for those I’ve spoken to about this with think that I should leave the group.

Engraved Sunset.

Refreshing Reef.

Sundown Shutouts.

Bay-Bay Bars.

I can’t drive and haven’t gotten past my permit, yet, and it’s a huge point of contention for me as an autistic adult. I refuse to give up until I do get my license.

Rats will never get licenses but you can.

I’ve had my Animal Crossing campsite done up for Halloween. Wanted to show you some screen shots and some of my costumes. One is me being a spooky skeleton and the other is a Keroppi inspired costume. Btw not all the villagers you see are my favorites.

I love that I have my one of my special interests and favorite holiday all in one.

I also totally didn’t spend a large amount of real money to get leaf tickets to make this a come to life
