There is nothing to be embarrassed about around having an emotional attachment to the game or to the character... this game came at a very intense time in the world. The world was shut down and there was fear and many unknowns and this game gave us all a distraction from the worry and fear going on in the world. I also have a villager I have had since the beginning - zell and Frita and I have an attachment to them for the role they have played in my learning to play this game. So I totally get the feelings. This game has helped a lot of people come together in unity and we have taken all our fears and put them into the game, the villagers, and the community. It totally makes sense.

I have to say, your feelings for Lyman have given me more respect for you. I have found it so frustrating watching you only going for those villagers that someone has said is popular or on some popularity list, versus those that you like for your island. You don’t need your island to be a cookie cutter of other youtuber islands with the same 10-15 villagers. Get those villagers that spark something inside of you. Screw the list.

Animal Crossing has a special place for me, It's always nice when you log on and everyone is so happy to see you and to share positive things in life. Battling depression myself, Animal crossing has been part of my life since it 2002. This game was originally made to deal with feeling lonely and right now it's something we are all dealing with. Keep connecting over the game that was made to help you feel loved and connected.

I have Lyman as one of my starters and I absolutely adore him! A few weeks ago I found that both of my starters Lyman (jock) and Plucky (sisterly) have the same birthdays. I decided to host a huge birthday party and invite others to come celebrate~ I didn't intent for them to stay on my island for long because I started the game with a list of villagers in mind but damn....I grew so fond of them and now both of them (and Sydney) are NEVER leaving my island, NEVER.

Your talk at the end of the video made me emotional as well. I’ve been watching you since I bought my animal crossing game in May (I got the game late) and I don’t think I’ve ever commented or liked a video because I tend to just put it on my tv and let it play. However, your talk made me realize that I should be liking and commenting so you know just how many of us support you.... and to also let you know that I never miss a video. Congratulations on your wedding and new marriage!

Absolutely agree! Animal crossing was released literally just before we went into lockdown in my country and it has honestly kept me going! There could not have been a more perfect distraction from this terrible year! While I didn’t become attached to my original two villagers, I’m so very attached to others who have followed. Knowing that they’re there each day to greet me with a smile and call me their bestie does so much good for my mental health. It seems strange to say, but there it is. Animal crossing has been my salvation this year.

This game launched at a time when we really needed a sense of community and togetherness, and something that's just good and comforting to do. New Horizons is my first AC game, but I've grown to love my villagers. I enjoy getting their photos and talking to all of them, and it makes me happy to see them interacting with the items I've placed, and or when they "get the zoomies" in the plaza. I love visiting my friends' islands and seeing the beautiful and creative things they've done. It's okay to get emotional. I understand it.
