nice forearms and nicer staff
This event has occurred over the course of a week. I'll have to do a little bit of explaining and i hope to god the person im talking about doesnt find this post lol, but i don't think they use the forums so I should be ok.
Im also aware that i couldve just ignored her during this but listen im stubborn and dumb as hell ahbjnkm
We'll call the person im talking about angel to keep things organised and also protect their real name (the name has nothing to do with irony or spite, i just used to have a different friend called angel who i dont like anymore LOL)
Anyway,
I've been speaking to angel recently about animal crossing. She's an old friend that ive had a few fall-outs with due to various things, although we managed to bond over animal crossing and basically made up for a while
She's always been a bit strange to me; she'd often brag about a lot of things, such as writing pages and pages for assignments at school and such, or she'd brag about spending loads of money on stuff (she bought raymond off ebay, told me she bought him for $25 but told another friend of ours who's quite confrontational that she bought him for $15). Basically just a little weird and sketchy.
She got the game a couple days after launch i believe. We've been hanging out in the game ever since, however
A few days ago, specifically on the 30th, she messaged me bragging that she's reached 310 hours on animal crossing. This wouldn't be too weird in itself (the bragging irritated me though), however 10 days earlier she was only at 130 hours, meaning she'd somehow played 18 hours a day. Obviously, some might do that, but this girl was never this insane about animal crossing before.
I asked her if she had left the game open overnight, to which she said "i cant because ive lost my charger and so i have to borrow my sisters" etc and basically she cant play while its charging or something. She also said that she's "not a loser" and "it must not be that accurate" (referring to the switch hours counter)
I didn't think too much of it, i just thought she was enjoying the game a lot and i respected that. I ignored her for a while until i checked her hours a few days later.
She'd somehow gone from 310 to 380 in 4 days??
So i messaged her again out of curiosity, asking her how she possibly plays 20 hours a day. She brushed it off saying "i have nothing better to do" and that she "closes the game when shes not playing it"
she also said she'd "rather brag about what she did in that time", despite bragging earlier about it
After that i just ended up ignoring her, not wanting to feed into it anymore.
Again, im aware if i sound kind of petty but this person is known for lying about trivial stuff like this and always wanting to seem better than other people. As well as this, i dont appreciate the super weird lies (of course, if they are lies) and to me it just seemed like an attempt to seem better than me or seem superior, so i got frustrated, especially since this person is known for this sort of thing.
I decided to share the story since ive seen a few other people share their negative experiences with people in the game and i thought this might be a bit more of a weird one to share
I was honestly worried something like this would happen. I've never wanted this sort of game to become competitive like this, especially in such a strange way, but of course it has to. Angel has always seemed to want to 1up me at everything though so im not super surprised.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? maybe for a different switch game? im definitely curious
[EDIT: ive removed some of my rambling so people dont get confused. Im terrible at telling stories im so sorry]
