Its been a month since New Horizons was released. Who has perfect attendance?
- Thread starter Birdie
- Start date
I've had perfect attendance... kind of.
Got the game a week after launch, but I haven't missed a day. Working my way towards that 5-star, baybee!

Animal Crossing is one of the games that makes me think about death.
Every generation, I play the new AC religiously every day... until I don't. I never consciously choose to stop playing, and so I never realize that the last time I visit my town and talk to my villagers is *the* last time I'm ever going to do it.
In the same way, the last time I saw my childhood best friend, neither of us chose to stop hanging out nor knew it would be the last time we saw each other.
As we get closer to death, some of our favorite things we'll do for the last time without ever realizing it. Favorite restaurants. Rewatches of beloved films. Time with friends and family.
It's really weird that Animal Crossing always brings this to mind.

Been playing daily since release. Have a meager 2 star island with me being 60 hours deep into the game, lol. I still don't have the terraforming tools.
My stars are stuck at 2 until I get rid of some trees. I went through town over a week ago and made holes in front of the trees I wanted to cut down/move. The day ended before I got to moving them and the holes all disappeared.
I'm still on every day, but not for long each day. I haven't found the strength to go back and reevaluate the trees again...

I think maybe all the mats required to build the shop fucks with people's expectations early on. It's like the one time it happens and it's not like you have a time limit, but for some reason people feel the need to gather them all in a single day and then think "man this was such a grind, is this going to be the game loop from now on?"
I dropped off pretty quickly. Trying to get my island evaluation high enough for KK Slider was a pain, and I wanted terraforming but couldn't get it so I just haven't had the motivation to continue.
Listening to you all talk about this game is fascinating. It's like I just stumbled into a thread with a bunch of landscapers talking about their day and one of them also decided to purchase a hotel
I don't have perfect attendance (because of FFVIIR), but I have put in more than 200 hours already.
I've been playing every single day since March 12. Got my store upgrade a week ago.
Can't see myself stopping from playing anytime soon, especially with the datamined content seemingly being real.

I've played every day, but I had to use time travel on days where I worked 13+ hours and stopped working at like midnight. I just permanently set my clock back two hours to avoid situations like that now.
However, a lot of those days are just me playing for like 15-30 minutes. I only have 20 or more hours of playtime. I don't think I've played for more than an hour and a half on any given day, and if I ever played for that long it was only a couple days. I'm going to try to keep playing the game like this for a while, where I just log in for a little bit every day, don't even necessarily complete all of the "daily" tasks, and focus more on playing other games.
