Update to the ACNH saga (https://ysobel.dreamwidth.org/624176.html but tl;dr hadn't played in months because ?trauma?; update got me re-excited, but still kept not getting around to touching it, or not thinking of it when aide was here.)

Last week I finally a) remembered b) when an aide was here, and c) asked for it ... except it didn't turn on. Although it had been in the charger, the charger was unplugged so the battery was dead. Sigh

I am now finally, FINALLY, getting around to ... downloading the software update (looooool)

I guess it's progress?

(My mom somehow heard about the paid DLC -- the November update is free but there's an additional "design ALL THE THINGS" paid expansion. She offered to get it for me for my birthday ... I'm waiting to see if my brain lets me get re-absorbed into ACNH first, because otherwise it's a waste of money, but I didn't want to explain all that she I just awkwardly mumbled something about waiting to see other peoples' reviews.)

EDIT 1: Forgot the other trauma aspect: that my main island (I have two) is named for the service puppy that didn't work out, so the name is a reminder of that fail.

EDIT 2: the game is acting like I haven't actually been away -- no weeds -- maybe the update reset something? -- but holy fuck I forgot just how many flowers I had ;_;

EDIT 3: shit, need to dig up my spreadsheets. gah *flails in overwhelm*
