And the equivalent of nail biting/paw musing here is amusing as heck with this.

We almost got rained out when we went camping. Fortunately the worst of it was overnight, but it made me take a good look at my tent and realize that it really is a ten dollar piece of garbage. Not just for the lack of rainfly, but also the diaper-coverings on the joints. Not kidding. I really love A-Frame tents and this was the first decent one I came across that was big enough to put my cot in, but it's not worth it. Definitely going to have to look into getting a new one before the next campout.
Otherwise, I made a massive mistake. I got back into Animal Crossing again... Been playing a little bit of New Horizons and just starting out the game made me think back to when I first played again. Sitting in the basement with our gamecube and starting up the game for the first time, exploring the town, working for Nook, paying off the loans and collecting fossils and gyroids, breaking the economy with the GBA connector. I realized I remembered a lot about my first town. I remember what I called my character, how I furnished my house, who my villagers were and even where most of the cliffs and objects were (ponds, shops, houses, etc) but the one thing I can't remember was the name of my town. And that...that hurts. I wish I could remember, because I feel like that is so much more important than anything else I could have done. (And no, I never finished the museum)
My character in animal Crossing has always been named "Rue" an auburn-haired pseudo-girl that always ended up with aqua eyes and somehow managed to keep a majority of my original villagers.
Rue is a word that means "Regret." At the time I thought it was just a really cool name for my player character. Now I look back at all I did and all I lost over the years and the games I've played, the villages I've known, and the one I will never see again. I regret letting them go. Leaving them behind. And sure, I can always pick up another copy of the game, but without that save file? Without that town and everything I knew? Would it even be the same? Would it ever be the same?
I dunno. I'm enjoying the new experience I'm getting with New Horizons and I'm having a very hard time deciding what I want to do with the island.
Please excuse my ramblings, I'm a little nostalgic.
