it's summer

I really miss the simple joy of streetpass. sure it’s still there, but it’s not as commonplace to take your 3DS out somewhere as it used to be during its heyday. the excitement of getting to your destination and loading up the mii plaza so you can see who you’d met today. people you wouldn’t have had the chance to so much as wave or glance at because you were both busy doing other things, but shared a moment with anyway because for a second you were close together. and then their little mii pops up and is like hi :) here’s what I’ve been playing and then you could go omg :) I played that game too

I realize this is an animal crossing meme but as an astrophysicist I was really excited for a second that someone was finally seeing the light on how fricking difficult and a huge waste of time it would be to try to terraform Mars
