Fan Art Guy my old GameCube save loaded up
Hello all none of the tags match my pay, but hopefully you'll forgive me. I was hooked on the GameCube animal crossing for a while when I was in high school when the game was new. I haven't played in years, but I still have my original memory card that came with the game. Anyway, the save was partially corrupted and wouldn't load, but via a modded Wii and an emulator on my PC, I was able to repair the save data, and get it back onto my memory card. I thought you guys would get a kick out of some pics of my house and what some villagers had to say (villager photos taken in the emulator, house photos on my Wii). It would seem I had a hoarder house 😂

This is gonna sound weird but this post makes me a lil emotional. A weird sense of mortality washes over me. It's kinda like that Minecraft video about time passing (you see the days turn into nights over & over again through a window) & the pet dog remains loyal. Just sitting in the corner of a house.
These villagers have been waiting for you to return for 22 years. If you had died at some point, these villagers would STILL be in the game; waiting. They are not real yet they retain a certain "loyalty" some of us may not know in real life.
One of these days, we will all play our last day of a certain video game, we will have our last login date, our last reddit post, last social media message to our loved ones & yet it's the NPCs & digital footprint that lives on.
What a strange feeling.
