1). What are you doing to pass the time today?

Just here being on my laptop. I finished all of my goals I needed to complete while waiting

2). Things you are doing today to prepare yourself for when you have the game tonight/tomorrow?

I was cleaning my room, and also going to charge my Switch Lite that I haven't used in a while.

3). Where do you plan on playing the most?
*edit* I meant mostly where inside your homes! I know most of us are on lockdown or quarintined if we aren't already self isolating.

In my bedroom of course.

4). Have you set up a schedule to ensure you still eat and take care of yourself over the next however many days or week after you get the game?

I'm sorry what?

5). What in NH are you the most excited about?

The new villagers, but it feels so saddening that we only got 8 new ones. I'm sure there will be more in future updates.

1) I am actually really busy today! My department has been flagged as essential for the agency that I work for and so I am having to be set up for remote work. I have to drive all the way to the office to get a work laptop since we are not allowed to handle work things on personal computers! And of course since I am one of the brave souls in my household who has to leave the house I am being piled on with a lot of errands :,) That's okay though.

2) I finally bought NSO!!! And I also set up my switch and edited my account and made Rover my profile pic . Since my friend and I are going at the crack of dawn to our GameStop's "extra early" release day I am gonna be digging through my bathroom to find the masks since my bff is convinced we need them lol.

3) I have a corner for playing!!! It is really cozy and is beside my bookshelf in this really nice armchair. Either there or my bed! Since both work and classes are online, I think I'll have a lot more time.

4) Of course! Life still goes on lol. And responsibilities have yet to end.

5) I am so excited about the little island tours we can do!!! I really want to find my dreamies that way!!!! I have all of their amiibo cards for each one but I kind of want to get them organically? To make it feel more real. I'll scan in like 3 of my must must haves but I really wanna get that joy of finding them on an island or something! Plus, I don't have Audie's card of course, and I REALLY want her a whole lot!

Has anyone seen the teal airport? I know in the bottom of my heart it's probably been removed, but I don't want to give up hope! And I don't understand why they'd remove a colour which has shown to be the most popular, and fits the theme of the game the most!

I think some may consider the color reveals a spoiler (or ones that weren't shown in the Nintendo videos anyway) but I know they've discussed this and are discussing this in other threads. :>

4). Have you set up a schedule to ensure you still eat and take care of yourself over the next however many days or week after you get the game?

I'm sorry what?

Some people have some things they need to be reminded to do irl because they get sucked into playing the game and forget basics. Like eating, taking medications, certain routines they need to keep (i.e. bedtimes).

1). What are you doing to pass the time today?

Finishing up as much of my work as possible so I don't have so much to do tomorrow! Also hope to take care of a few household chores and have some tasty takeout ramen for dinner. c:

2). Things you are doing today to prepare yourself for when you have the game tonight/tomorrow?

Getting lots of work done, making sure to get lots of rest, and brainstorming all the things I need to consider before choosing an island.

3). Where do you plan on playing the most?
*edit* I meant mostly where inside your homes! I know most of us are on lockdown or quarintined if we aren't already self isolating.

On the couch (living space) in docked mode or in bed handheld. I live in an apartment so there's only so many options, haha.

4). Have you set up a schedule to ensure you still eat and take care of yourself over the next however many days or week after you get the game?

What's been working for me so far is: 7am feed cat, nap til 8, shower, go on a short walk to stretch my legs with my partner, have a small breakfast, then work some BUT I'm probably going to get up early tomorrow and start playing because I won't be able to sleep!!

I will probably try to do an extra walk a day to make sure I get exercise, but otherwise we have a good amount of supplies and delivery locations to fit our needs.

5). What in NH are you the most excited about?

The amount of customization! From terraforming to style to furniture customization, I'm really pumped to make my truly unique island.

 

[Shawna]

1. What are you doing to pass the time today?
I am just gonna full around on YouTube, Amino, etc.

2. Things you are doing today to prepare yourself for when you have the game tonight/tomorrow?
Well, I have just pre-downloaded the game!!! ^_^
I also got a 12-month Switch online membership.

3. Where do you plan on playing the most?
My room.
I will also be playing on the go sometimes, as my uncle has a maid that comes in on some Saturdays (likely this coming on), and it takes half the day.

4. Have you set up a schedule to ensure you still eat and take care of yourself over the next however many days or week after you get the game?
No, but I will still do those things, just not on a schedule.

5. What in NH are you the most excited about?
Better customization, terraforming/waterscaping/path paving, and more lively villagers.

6. Are you planning to reset for something?
As much as I would love to start out with Sylvia, all I am asking to start out with is: a decent Uchi villager, a decent jock villager, and a decent map layout. Unless I get Canberra, Rocket, or a map layout that is just all over the place, I will not be resetting. Since this will be my VERY first NH island, I am going to be as carefree as possible.

7. What is your biggest hope/wish for NH?
Deeper friendships, more villager interactions, more variety of dialogue, etc. Since villagers are more lively than ever, I have high hopes for this! <3333

1. Trying to stay not stressed, my dog is sick (he will be ok just might take awhile). I am trying to find maps because I love looking at the different ones.
2. I have my name picked out so I am mostly just deciding on what I want my map to look like.
3. We have a living room with two areas so we have a tv in each with a switch. My husband is taking off so we will both be playing ACNH as soon as we get up. I will sit in a nice oversize recliner and I am sure my dog will be with me most of the time. He likes to curl up with me when I am playing a game on the switch.
4. With the Covid19 we have some easy to eat meals so that will be easy to take food breaks.
5. Most excited about just being able to play a full version of animal crossing. Pocket camp just doesn't cut it. I will enjoy exploring the island & seeing the islands my family creates. We will all visit each other's islands.
6 I will only restart if I don't like any of the map layouts. I am hoping for a south & East or West outlet for the rivers into the ocean. Also location of the dock & pinsulia. It would be nice to have a pond down below but not a deal breaker.
7. Wish & hope for ACNH is new game play not the same as other versions.

[AppleBitterCrumble]

1). What are you doing to pass the time today?
- I went back to my college to pack up my dorm (left at 7am, got back at 3pm), going to unpack a little bit, read my book, and then spend an hour working on my paper.

2). Things you are doing today to prepare yourself for when you have the game tonight/tomorrow?
- Making sure I have some idea what my town name will be and thinking of how I want my map to look/what fruit I want/etc. I'm trying not to think about it too much because that makes time move so slow.

3). Where do you plan on playing the most?
*edit* I meant mostly where inside your homes! I know most of us are on lockdown or quarintined if we aren't already self isolating.
- My bed for sure, or probably my basement since it's quiet down there.

4). Have you set up a schedule to ensure you still eat and take care of yourself over the next however many days or week after you get the game?
- Yeah, I have set days where I wont play the game (unless I checked everything off my hw checklist) and I'm planning on running 4-5 times a week to get some nice exercise in

5). What in NH are you the most excited about?
- Terraforming! I love the idea that I truly get to make this island my own

 

[tanisha23]

1.) I'm gonna do a bit of house cleaning, take a long shower, and I also asked my mom for more nail polish remover, so I'll paint my nails later while talking on the phone with my sister, which we usually talk for a long time, so that should help time past a bit faster.

2.) Since I don't have a room and sleep in a living room, It does get cluttered very easily, so I just gonna make sure that before I play, my area is nice and comfortable so I can play the game in a very comfortable position. Also, I plan on taking a cup a joe thirty minutes before 12 so I don't feel tired.

3.) Mostly in my home, on the living room couch. I'm not sure if I'm gonna decide that I would prefer to play it docked or handheld, but I'm sure this would be mostly depending on how much noise is going on in my house, which can be a lot sometimes. Since the pro controller doesn't have a headphone jack, if it's too loud for me to have a peaceful time, I'll play it in handheld, still on the living room couch.

4.) Lol, no...but good point, maybe I should

5.) Honestly, just seeing my island grow and become my own. I'm never really one for making themed towns, I just change things up as I get things that like, and it's hard to make plans for my town with so much information that I don't know about yet, so I'm just excited to see where this game will take my island.

1). What are you doing to pass the time today?
I'm trying to get a lot of university work done today so I can play all day tomorrow and not feel a LOOMING SENSE OF GUILT

2). Things you are doing today to prepare yourself for when you have the game tonight/tomorrow?
I have a lil draft of an island map with some ideas for outdoor areas! I've never planned anything for my previous games, so this is an interesting experience!

3). Where do you plan on playing the most?
Probably just in my living room!

4). Have you set up a schedule to ensure you still eat and take care of yourself over the next however many days or week after you get the game?

HAHA yes I vow to try my best to still be a regular functioning person! I am definitely going to have to remember to take breaks every now and then and not play too late

5). What in NH are you the most excited about?
I genuinely am just so excited to be experiencing the release of a new game!!!!!! The possibilities! But for real, I love that we can place furniture outside.

6. Are you planning to reset for something?
I would like to have peaches!! And non-ugly villagers lol but it doesn't really matter all that much!

7. What is your biggest hope/wish for NH?
More exciting dialogue! And some form of minigames

 

[Lisha]

1). What are you doing to pass the time today?
I've been playing some video games, reading and watching some shows. Outside of that, I've been spending time with my family indoors.

2). Things you are doing today to prepare yourself for when you have the game tonight/tomorrow?
Gonna mull over my chosen town name a bit more, haha. I've been so indecisive, but I have my flag ready! I'm also going to be watching my delivery app/tracking sites to see when my packages will arrive.

3). Where do you plan on playing the most?
In my room, haha.

4). Have you set up a schedule to ensure you still eat and take care of yourself over the next however many days or week after you get the game?
Yeah, self-care's important! Cooked with my dad last night, so we have a bunch of leftovers that'll get us through the week.

5). What in NH are you the most excited about?
The improved villager behaviour. Seeing them actually DO things around the island and in their homes. I'm so excited.
Also really looking forward to customising my character, the clothes look really good!
