I play Animal Crossing. My character has been going for 3 months as of yesterday. She has more clothes than people who live on the mainland, and a two-storey house with a basement and several rooms. She's paid off the racoon (or tanuki if you prefer) so she has no debt. As far as food, it sucks because AC is a vegan fantasy game in which meat and meat byproducts simply do not exist, but hey, the trees and crops grow every 3 days and put out more than enough food for me, the racoon/tanuki and his two nephews, his girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend and her sister, and the museum curator... oh and the ten villagers I have... to survive and thrive.

(I know that makes no sense, but neither does the name, which it's a play on. FWIW, the game's original Japanese name means something like "animals in the forest." The English name, I think, is a play on "Railroad Crossing," but it's still kind of nonsensical. Just like our reasons for playing this game...
