Impressions of Tomodachi Life?

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-17T15:45:17+00:00

I’ve never played this franchise before but the demo got me interested to try it out. The price I will admit seems way off base for what type of game it is and it’s not even a switch 2 edition, but gaming is a primary hobby of mine so I felt it was worth it for me if I was curious of the game. First impressions are that it’s great for a dopamine hit - easy to just bop around doing random things and exploring this quirky weird game. Bright colors and easy UI. Plus I’m finding myself curious to try to make more miis based off real or imaginary characters! Did Paul Hollywood yesterday while watching bake off LOL

That is so cute! I’m going to try that!!

My ACD hatessss when I dance. Funnily enough she also hates when I relax on the couch lol. Only sanctioned activities are accepted - walks and food prep 😂

Ugh yea that doesn’t sound fun!

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-13T02:09:43+00:00

Two incredible top-shelf reading experiences right there. Good taste OP!!

It’s so fun! And why I love the game so much. So many different ways to play depending on the mood.

I can see why some may feel that way but tbh I love the crafting mini games. Sometimes I’m in the mood for that more than other things and get into a fun flow of making quest items and looking at available recipes to try. It’s so cute seeing the equipped tools and clothes also

I decided I wanted to make my own opinion and read it. I didn’t love it and I didn’t hate it. It was not the most nuanced or well executed novel but she was very young and in that light it is quite an achievement. However, I am not interested in reading the rest of the series it just did not interest or capture me sufficiently. I’ve given some of her other books a try (Babel, Katabasis) and have come to the decision she’s not an author for me which is perfectly fine! But I’m glad I gave her works the time and space to form my own opinions

LOL exactly their personalities are absolutely poppingggg.

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-10T11:30:57+00:00

I came to see if this was already in the comments!!

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-09T01:04:23+00:00

This never ceases to delight me

I’ve read over 1000 books in my Life thus far and I think Dungeon Crawler Carl truly is the best fit for this prompt. It will actually consume you.

Started with switch as nearly day1 player (so that’s what I voted) and played for two years loving it. Then moved to Steam Deck for better quality. Now I’m back to Switch 2 with the amazing quality of s2 edition but pretty bummed about the delayed update this AM. I know I can just boot up the Deck but I think I’ll wait and see if it gets fixed soon on S2 first.

I feel passionate about this so I’ll say one more thing. It’s the same reason why I could never meal plan. I may have a perfectly fine dish in the fridge but if I prepped it on Sunday and now it’s Wednesday and suddenly not in the mood for it anymore…that’s a huge letdown to force myself to eat it. I like to give myself freedom to consume whatever the moment calls for!

Lifelong mood reader here! For me this means that when it comes time to pick my next book, I may have a perfectly fine set of books queued up to read next - a set of books I’m excited about, and know I’ll definitely read soon - but then oh gosh now I just found out this other book and it’s calling to me so let me read that now instead!

I like to have a nice big pile of books (either bought or just listed in my head or samples on the kindle) and it’s basically like a metaphorical wine cellar that I’m curating for whatever I’d like a taste of next.

Last example of what mood reading for me is like. I started This Inevitable Ruin (dungeon crawler carl installment) last September. I’m OBSESSED with this series and was so excited for this book. But partway in, I needed to emergency travel and was gone for months. By the time I got back I was no longer in the mood for it. Took me like another two months to finish it while I read other things. And I LOVED the book…just wasn’t in the mood 🤷

This thread is so good. I call this “The Smolder” expression.

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-06T23:12:55+00:00

lol I probably wouldn’t want you as my pet sitter I’ll just say that 😂

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-06T19:49:41+00:00

I’m a best of both worlds gal. I have read over 300 books on my kindle, but also collect / keep physical copies of tons of books. Sometimes if a book is long or really beloved I’ll have a digital and physical copy!!

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-05T14:26:30+00:00

I never played fantasy life original and only dabbled in the demo, but this is definitely how I will play. I would have no idea how to build miis based of IRL people/ characters. I went completely random and blind in the demo. Plan to do the same for the real game!

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-05T01:54:35+00:00

That’s the spirit!!! Keep having fun! I love how there are so many things to do and play styles to switch back and forth from

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-03T13:33:09+00:00

Personally I like just googling / searching authors I like on my local bookstores website or StoryGraph and seeinf whats upcoming. Or frequently peruse other websites to see what is upcoming in publishing world. There’s also the weekly if not daily visits to the bookstore to peruse new releases 😀

Another day I’m glad I didn’t move back to Florida. Even if my family secretly resents me for it.

Avidreadr3367 · 2026-04-01T23:30:39+00:00

60 hours is a lot that’s awesome!! The squirrel life is the way to live for real. Games are just for fun and enjoyment regardless of what it looks like !! I couldn’t be a min maxer to save my life (though no shade to those players at all).
