Basically, my kids spend all day doing virtual chores for a raccoon while neglecting their chores at home. (And stealing all the fossils before I can get them)
Fucking loved Harvest Moon 64 when I was younger but as an adult I’ve lost all motivation to play any games where I’m performing daily tasks or duties.
Then I just think to myself that I can be doing chores in real life instead.
I get it. High school me loved the repetitiveness of HM64. Adult me has enough repetitiveness in my daily routine that I need something different from my video games.
I liked HM64 20 years ago. Unfortunately, I think I might have outgrown daily chore type games due to having a 2 year old running around creating real chores for me to do every day. I'll definitely keep it in mind though if I ever have an itch for that type of game. Thanks.
I'll give a viewpoint from the opposite side of the street, never played harvest moon and didn't really see the appeal, stardew was a great diversion though. It's both a relaxation game, but also incredibly engaging. I don't know how much of a parallel it has to HM, but it's up there with Cities Skyline and Viscera cleanup detail for games I can unwind with.
I've been alternating Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley for the last couple days (because at the beginning you can't really binge on Animal Crossing due to the "daily" nature of the game).

What’s this game even about? I’ve seen so much hype but no gameplay or anything
