For a long time, video games were exclusively associated with children and immaturity. Even though video games have been marketed towards adults for decades now, the vibe around gaming has only really started to change recently. While there are plenty of gory and violent games out there that are rated M for Mature audiences, many games for adults are not necessarily explicit in their content. Some simply have deeper and more complex themes, more extensive worldbuilding, or require more patience than those made with children in mind.
Animal Crossing isn't exclusive to adults, but it is a game for very patient gamers. While you could spend a whole day running around on your island, it is the sort of game where you only really make progress by playing a little bit each day as it makes you wait up to several days to see and enjoy the fruit of your labor. If you prefer to spend your free time shaking trees, digging for fossils, and catching wasps, scroll down for adorable memes you can't buy at Nook's Cranny.

I only recently got into flowers on my island, and let me tell you, it's pure chaos right now.
