Replaying games from my past with my young children has been surreal and transformative
Briefly

Celebrating Hogmanay at home with my family due to the weather led us to connect through Animal Crossing, echoing our experiences during lockdown.
Animal Crossing acted as a lifeline during the pandemic, providing comfort and continuity for many families, allowing them to engage socially even when physically apart.
Watching my children experience video games brings a surreal joy, as their new experiences enrich my old memories, creating a shared family history.
Participating in a lively New Year countdown in Animal Crossing reminded me of how video games can create joyful family moments, turning screens into living connections.
