Posting this to document my ACNH journey. I have never completed my island and always restarted feeling unmotivated and giving up lol. I miss this era and I miss the villager hunting (even tho I have my amiibo coins I still want to meet different villagers).

Do any of you guys play video games?

I have an Insta dedicated just to my video games. I play all kinds of games from hack-and-slash to shooter but for the most part I post my cozy games because they involve so much decorating and they're prettier.

The cozy games I have played/am playing are Animal Crossing New Horizons, Stardew Valley, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Coral Island, House Flipper, Dinkum, My Time At Portia, My Time At Sandrock, Grow: Song of the Evertree, Fae Farm, Farm Together, No Place Like Home, Cozy Grove, Hokko Life, and a little of Palia though admittedly I'm having a hard time staying interested in Palia.

I've also been playing Hogwarts Legacy, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Witcher III Wild Hunt and have played Dying Light, Days Gone, The Division, Fallout IV, Halo, Fable, Destiny and many more.

Anyway, I made this post in case you guys wanna give me a follow. I'm usually not the type to shamelessly plug but ever since they changed Instagram to only showing people the top posts when they search something, I get absolutely ZERO interactions on my posts. It's crazy. My account wasn't super popular or anything but I at least got SOME feedback before. I hate what they've done to Instagram.

Here's some examples of my islands and valley:

ACNH islands

Disney Dreamlight Valley

So if any of you play any of these games and are looking for an account to follow for inspiration, give me a follow. Here is a link to my Instagram Account annie.plays.gamez

I will start posting more when I think someone is actually looking. When I stopped getting interactions I slowed down on my posts because I didn't see any point.

K. That's all. And thank you in advance for anyone who gives me a follow or just for reading through all of this.

Oh and if it matters I play on Steamdeck and Nintendo Switch.

New Tumblr, who dis?

The first thing you should know about me is that I have been perpetually tired since the birth of my kid three years ago. But I still find the energy (somehow) to stay up after she’s gone to bed and play video games.

I love cozy games, usually with some kind of farming mechanic but not exclusively.

I got into the genre when I discovered Stardew Valley. That game kept me occupied for a very long time. At one point I owned it on all three consoles for some reason, and this summer I finally caved and bought the mobile version so I can carry it around with me like a digital security blanket.

I was so obsessed with the game that it remained my go to until my twelfth wedding anniversary when my husband gifted me Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I became obsessed and played it nearly every day for four months. The birth of my kid meant I stopped playing as often, but I still played through every season at least once.

My gaming slowed down as my interest in ACNH waned but then Spirittea was announced.

My teacher showed us Spirited Away when I was in high school and I’ve loved it ever since. I can’t wait for the kid to be old enough to watch it. Spirittea, described by Kotaku as Spirited Away meets Stardew, seemed like the perfect game for me and I eagerly awaited its release.

And waited.

And waited.

Until finally I decided to move on and explore other cozy games while I waited.

I downloaded Potion Permit and flew through it. I borrowed Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town and Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town from the library and got in queue for a number of other titles.

Then Thursday night my husband found Fae Farm and brought it to my attention.

Friday morning found us both on the couch watching YouTube reviews of the game pre-purchase. Watching a reviewer falsely claim that some aspects of the game were completely new to the genre, I thought, “I could do this better.”

Not on camera, because yikes! But I have a background in creative writing and journalism so some kind of text-based review is right up my alley.

I may not always have time for longer posts though, so Tumblr seemed like the best fit.

If you like cozy games and talking about them, I hope you’ll follow me and chime in now and then.

played fae farm during the trial week on switch ... the npcs are made of cardboard and there r some weird bugs and quirks in the game but i had a good time. may or may not have gone a lil insane and completed the whole story and made it to almost the end of summer year 2

gonna write out some thoughts

one of the weird quirks is that u can't name ur character. they will just simply be named after like ur steam or switch or whatever profile. unless u make a phoenix labs account then u can change ur name that way, but if u go offline at all it switches back to the profile name until u log in again (pause > multiplayer > login button; u don't have to actually do multiplayer just log in). very annoying when i do not like to play as myself in these games & also just a strange decision in general imo

character creator is decent but i would recommend going to the voice selection and hitting "silent" before actually getting into it LOL the noises the character makes get so annoying after a bit... the pronoun selection is nice (he she or they) & u can go back into the character creator using a craftable mirror so u can switch all that stuff up whenever u want

the storyline was cute; not exactly deep but the artwork was neat. i liked all the rhymes and the storybook-y feel. the sprites have nice designs. wisp mother should be a romance candidate but she is not

gameplay felt nice; i liked the auto tool switching and the double jump a lot, & having spells and potions that helped with farming was cool. very light on tutorials but if ur experienced with the genre its not too hard to figure out (idk how it is w/o experience bc i cannot un-experience things). having year-round plants that u use magic fertilizer on to change them into seasonal varieties was funky

animals are pretty quirky and a lil buggy. sometimes i would try to water a plant or something and a chicken would teleport to me from across the farm and get pet. or they would just wander away from the Sign That Is Supposed To Keep Animals Near It and get in the way. fences cannot stop them they will simply walk thru it. also in my experience my cows and sheep would stop giving milk and wool if i didnt enter the barn the day before, even if they had food? weird lil quirk there but once i figured it out it was fine

u can pretty much ignore the animals and their affection will still go up & theyll still produce things as long as u feed them, and also the only punishment for not feeding them is they don't produce things. very forgiving. something i thought was really interesting tho that they dont actually point out in game is that petting ur animals gives u some regen on ur stamina and magic and probably hp, which is Super handy and a neat mechanic that got me to continue paying attention to my animals anyway

decorating ur house with specific furniture gives u a "cozy home" bonus; basically this is how u increase ur hp/mp/stamina, which i think is also a pretty neat lil mechanic

also flower breeding is a mechanic. 6 types of flowers, 6 different genes, 12 unique colors. works pretty much like acnh but also u can breed 2 different types of flowers (so like a rose and a tulip) and u'll have a 50/50 shot at getting one or the other. i got almost every color and i will be haunted by the white zinnia until i have an actual copy of the game. also the genes are actually displayed in a lil tooltip when the cursor is over the flower which is really really cool and good and i love that feature so so much it makes everything so much easier and less frustrating

the game doesnt tell u this iirc but crops and flowers can be moved if u go into the uhhhh build mode. like u can just pick up a whole plant and move it wherever. very handy for both flower breeding and just organizing things in general. u can just pick up and move almost anything, & if u can't u can tear it down and get all materials back. u cannot do either thing to a crafting station that has items in it though u have to get the items out first if u want to break it down or move it

flowers r very important if u like customization also. u unlock 2 color palettes (a grand total of 6 colors) automatically and u have to buy the rest. most of them cost like 30 of a particular flower + some other item + money. u can recolor furniture and outfits with ur unlocked color palettes which is nice

combat was fine, bonus points for the potion of i just want to mine please don't perceive me. also bonus points because there is actually a storyline reason for the monsters to be there; always hate it when a game is like "videogame... have combat. videogame Must have combat. i put monsters in cave. now this is a real video game :)" like nah tell me where those slimes came from. in this case the monsters are objects animated by wild magic and they have cute designs and goofy lil names like cannot (a cannon) and skello (a cello)

there are 3 dungeons in the game & the latter two have funky lil puzzle mechanics. if u aint like that then theres things u can make to skip most of em. i thought they were neat & being able to remove them pretty easily meant they didnt overstay their welcome. they also require specific potions so u don't like "die" (get teleported out of the dungeon, which is also what happens if u lose all ur hp) which would probably be cooler if pausing the game would pause the timers on the potions. i assume that sort of thing is because the game was made with multiplayer in mind; this is presumably also the reason why having anything pause time at all in singleplayer was added in an update after launch

(pausing also does not pause monsters. they will murderize u with the pause screen up. on switch u can just go to the home menu 4 a proper pause at least)

the npcs are as mentioned largely made of cardboard; most of the ones u can't befriend (most of the merchants) have the same pool of lines, and the ones u can have a few personal lines and a bunch of lines referencing things uve done in the game even if its been like 10 years since u did it (common in the genre). there are no events with the non-romance npcs or interactions between any npcs except for like some animations; every conversation witnessed is an npc talking to protagonist. the only events are the dates with the romance characters, which are just them and protagonist sitting around and talking with absolutely nothing happening. the dialogue is cute at least

romance npcs' statuses will sometimes get stuck for some reason (this happened to 2 of them when i played) but that i think should be fixable with the "reset relationship" button, which is a pretty cool feature (tho my understanding is it's also a bit buggy sometimes so ymmv)

festivals are just decorations in town and a shop in town hall (including the fae festival, which one would expect to happen in the fae realm). characters have a few unique lines referencing the festival. sometimes they reference... the Wrong festival. goofy lil oversight i think. birthdays are on the calendar but have no impact in-game

marriage is also very nothing; u get a cute wedding scene and then ur spouse just vibes around the farm sometimes. there is no dialogue about this. also other romance npcs' relationship status change to "past sweetheart" or something like that and u cant progress with them at all since ur not allowed to be friends with them

gift giving is also only for romance npcs and each one has a random item that is the only thing u can possibly give them that day. but like talking to them gives good enough points regardless

job quests (questlines related to each skill u have, given by npcs related to that skill) are neat lil "challenges" but u can only pick up one at a time for some reason. weird design choice imo. they give u a hat for doing all the quests and an outfit if u do all the quests And some 100% requirement (like getting every crop at least once for the farming quests, making one of each polished gem variety for mining, etc) which i think is pretty neat

overall i think i would compare it to story of seasons: pioneers of olive town (particularly in its initial state) in that the npcs are very nothing but the gameplay loop is very good and fun; between the two i would say fae farm has the better story tho lol

[acrosstimeandspace]

i don’t know if i just haven’t seen people talking about this bc everyone knew or whatever but i only recently got happy home planner and i just learned that after a certain point of buying stuff from wardell, you unlock the happy home planner catalogue to order from, which allows you access to literally any item in the game so long as you’ve unlocked it through doing vacation homes

[ayrennaranaaldmeri]

last night i went to sterling's house for the first time even tho i've had him for a while and this bird is just casually running a jail on my island lol

[snowbellecafe]

the animal crossing update is just so good got a cute kitchen & after dinner i’m gonna visit harv!

[punkinroses]

Welp. Third time's the charm with this stuff, right? I'm hoping this time around, it'll stick. I'm honestly super excited about the island this time, even broke my traditional naming scheme (the last two islands were Starfall and Starlight).

So welcome to Faerune! My first two villagers for this save are Reneigh and Frobert and I absolutely adore them already ❤.

I might post about how the island develops to just kind of help keep me invested this go around but I feel good about this island and am so excited for it!
