The hottest take... I prefer the game without real life friend interactions.

Honestly, sharing bugs, watering gardens, letting people into the quarry, refilling my market box constantly, kudos and gifting, it was SUCH a hassle. I am not big into gifting in real life either, it makes me feel guilty and question whether I did it right. I did enjoy visiting other players campsites and cabins so I hope we continue to share photos and walkthroughs. But I had seriously slowed down with ACPC over the last few years because of the massive amount of chores involved and not to mention all the clutter from the paid services and constant ads. I would happily trade fishing for my own fish over loading my market box with crafting supplies 4 times a day. PCC is a welcome relief and I love all my robot friend imposters lol.
