@MaeMele personally i really don't like the animal crossing way of doing it, i usually only play games in a small window of time every day and it's frustrating never getting to see a lot of things in the game just because i'm not willing to reorganize my schedule around it. on the other hoof, i liked the few real time based mechanics no man's sky has, like having to wait a few hours for an egg to hatch or for an expedition to return, it gave me something to look forward to the next time i played. though generally as soon as that goes over 24 hours it gets annoying
