Right now that we've been social distancing for a hot minute, we can officially mention what we've all been thinking: It's really hard. Case in point, you may be beginning to feel like there aren't enough movies and TV shows in the world to keep you entertained now. Although there's one sort of people who may have noticed the solution to our problems: Nintendo Switch owners.
officially came out on the Switch console last week. And ever since, social media has been ablaze with impassioned tweets about the game, which permits you to create a life on an island inhabited by beautiful animal companions. Players may also virtually travel to other people's islands and permit them to come to theirs as well. In other words, it's a way for gamers to hang out — even while self-isolating because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nevertheless don't worry, you don't require a Switch have the ability to get in on all of the
fun. Thanks to some creative people on the world wide web, there really are plenty of memes going around that'll make you feel just as involved. And if they may give you a bit of FOMO, they're still a good — and safe — way to pass the time.
Remember the kid who went viral overnight immediately after she interrupted her father's interview on
BBC News? Well, she's having a resurgence. Any time one player found some similarities between that child and their own
Animal Crossing experience, they put the two clips side by side. And yes, the resemblance is uncanny.
For Animal Crossing lovers, nothing is more critical than moving ahead in the game. And no one appears to understand that better than the creator of this meme. Gone are the days of attempting to find a significant other on the world wide web. These days, we identify solely as Animal Crossing islanders seeking 30 iron nuggets. Sorry, it's just how it has to be.
With non-essential corporations closing in several states across the United States because of the COVID-19 outbreak, several gamers are unsure about what that insinuates for GameStop. Is their local store already closed? If not, how long do they have up until the gaming retailer shuts its doors? Don't worry, they've got a plan B.
For a while, it was like the only thing we were hearing about was coronavirus. Fortunately, that all changed with the release of Animal Crossing. Although in between all of the chatter about the game and the virus, some other topics manage to bubble to the surface. Remember sports? What about Super Smash Bros.?
there are two types of people who play Animal Crossing: Those who play honestly and wait for time to pass of course, and those who do a little bit of time travel to get ahead. And honestly, this meme says more about that than we ever could.
We know the game has only been out for a couple of days for now, however already, players have been getting really creative. Need proof? This player brilliantly recreated scenes from Robert Eggers's The Lighthouse, which is clearly a good use of their time in quarantine.
If you're not playing Animal Crossing yourself, you wouldn't know that weeds are actually a pretty hot item that you could sell for a lot of bells (the island's currency). Certainly, soon after assembling thousands of weeds and catching an individual fish (because damn, fishing is hard), you'll feel more confident than ever walking into Nook's Cranny to sell your items.
As we've already customary, fishing is hard — especially in Animal Crossing. And if you've tried it yourself, you understand the stress that comes with possibly clicking A and taking your rod out of the water also early. Thought fishing was soothing? Not anymore!
TikTokers know all about the "Respect the Drip" meme, which is just another way to mention respect someone's swag. There really are currently thousands of videos on the social media platform with users performing their own versions of the trend while wearing exotic outfits. And right now, the viral trend has made its way off TikTok and onto Animal Crossing, and who's complaining? Not us!
Fishing might be hard in Animal Crossing, nevertheless there really are still a lot of sea creatures to catch. You may even catch a shark, and well, we'll let the above meme do the talking.
Lately, toilet paper has been hard to come by, with shoppers stocking up in preparation for self-isolation. And in Animal Crossing, it appears it's no different. Thanks for the warning, Timmy.
No Switch? No problem! Some folks are currently contemplating whether to buy the console solely for Animal Crossing. Although whenever you determine, feel free to appreciate the memes because, as you could visualize, there really are plenty of them.
Before the game even came out, fans of the Animal Crossing series were smitten. And no meme captures people's love for the game more than the one above. Even the game's advertisements gave people heart-eyes!
If you've been spending hours upon hours making sure your island is in tip-top shape, you should be delighted. Case in point, you need to be just as delighted as Drake in the above video clip. "Look around you," the rapper says. "Look at this. We created this. This didn't exist before we were here." Truer words have never been spoken.
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, several of us were largely unprepared to emotionally deal with 2020. Why? Because we're still attempting to reconcile with years past. Nevertheless alas, COVID-19 came in as rapidly as Isabelle in a racecar, and the meme above pretty much sums up how we're all feeling right now.
Tired of owing so much cash to raccoon businessman Tom Nook? You're not alone. The player above determined to hold Nook's son hostage up until he cancels all their debts. And while that's definitely one way to go about it, we're actually pretty concerned for Timmy. Or is that Tommy?
Animal Crossing fans have been anticipating the release of the game for a long time right now. Case in point, several even pre-ordered a physical copy. Unfortunately, those who've been downloading the game digitally seem to be the ones who've had immediate access to the game. And the others? Well, they're the Squidwards of this situation.
Depending on how far you've made it into the game, you could have met Blathers, the director of the museum. Blathers statistics several critters, including fish and insects. And this iteration of the viral "It's a Knife" Vine describes the character pretty well.
One thing Animal Crossing players were not prepared for was having to pick decide on the name of their very own island. And yet it could might not directly seem like a ton of pressure at first, you have got to know that the name cannot be changed at any point, and that other players will visualize it, also. Yeah, we're going to require several hours to think on it. Maybe even days.
Speaking of naming islands, one player seized the possibility to name theirs immediately after Guy Fieri's mythical land of "Flavortown." Then, in an act of friendship, another user recommended them a pair of the chef and restauranteur's signature sunglasses. Unbelievable.
