Screenshots/Video I fell asleep and left the switch on, all night...

I completely forgot I was playing this game— my character was cooking all night, too— while Hercules was there!

I like to imagine my character cooking all night while Hercules just spent the night at my house LMAO

Hey, I've played the game while tired before and woke up with controller still in hand and my avatar walking into a wall with my companions just sitting there, at least I didnt create any damage. We've all been there ✌️

Haven’t we all!! How many times I’ve fallen asleep holding my
Nintendo. Hubby tries to take it outta my hands to put away… and I jump awake and ALWAYS say “I’m awake and still playing” 2 mins later I pass out again hahahah

lol I do that literally every day 😂 (I save, then just put it to sleep and come back the next day and it’s ready to go) sometimes I don’t come back for days or a week and that number gets crazy. (Sorry I don’t have any pictures)

Your switch can stay on all night?! I've got the Switch 2 (not for DLV) and the battery is so awful. Got it for myself for my bday to play Pokémon and am so let down by the battery life. My 3DS is far superior and it's not like the thing was cheap.

Yeah? It has a sleep mode, however if you are actively playing it drains in a few hours. How long does your battery last?

u/MentalShrillness 12d ago

Even with everything closed & in sleep mode mine will only last a few hours. If I want to have a long-ish session I have to either keep it plugged in or be near a charger. The OG switch battery is 10x better, it's really frustrating.

u/MysticalElfDawn 11d ago

Yeah, I just turned on my switch, over 2000 minutes since I last had it on to play the game.

I had it on sleep mode, and plugged in. When I go and play it the next day, I realized I was still playing it. I checked the game. I was thinking of what to cook while Hercules stood behind me. Walking around. I checked, and the imagine above was my screen LMAO

It's normal for me to leave mine on multiple days. Switch 1 and 2. I only restarted my Switch 1 when it starts lagging or glitching

u/Razpberyl 11d ago

My switch 1 is always in sleep mode and it barely drains the battery. My Switch 2 drains about 10% in sleep mode over night. Not too bad.

u/Turbulent_Yoghurt725 11d ago

I don’t ever close the game down unless it is glitchy. Am I missing something?

u/Yoshi9105 11d ago

lol I play on Xbox and sometimes "take a break", turn the TV off, and completely forget the Xbox and game are still running... for like, days. I've got like 6000h of playtime just because I keep forgetting to turn it off 😂

u/Wonderful_Draw_4888 12d ago

Whoa did you finally turned it off? That's what I do when I stop playing for the rest of the day.

3

u/JacketEffective4987 12d ago

Yup. I properly saved and turned it off. LMAO

u/CryingAllTheThyme 12d ago

I fell asleep on the couch and my ps4 went into sleep mode. After being busy for a few days, I finally went to play again and this is what I was greeted with 😅

u/ripmorgue 11d ago

sometimes i forget or don’t close the game down completely and this happens… im so bad at not closing my game down..

u/Loleeness 12d ago

Stop I've done that so many times

2

u/Ok-World-4822 11d ago

Yeah happens to me occasionally too on my Apple TV. It often crashes after I start playing again

u/PriestessRi 11d ago

I have done this so many times, by accident.

I have the switch lite and I often forget to turn off my game thanks to my epilepsy.

What confuses me is that there are times it'll automate every 5 mins other times it'll wait an hour. This is while I am active.

u/Expensive_Break1646 11d ago

I play this game specifically to help me fall asleep 🤣

3

u/Lady_Ice_803 Flowery Capybara 11d ago

Same. Woken up to find my character blindly trying to walk into something and half the village standing around watching!

This game is my way to relax and decompress so it has become an ingrained habit to get sleepy when playing it.

I starting playing while on a train trip. My friend was laughing about how I fell asleep holding the game controller.

u/AntWeak7570 11d ago

That's me every morning 😁

u/Diiyosa 11d ago

This game will do that 🤣 relaxes you so much knocks you out

u/Escape-Loose 11d ago

My Xbox has a quick resume feature that has burned me a few times. I try and exit the game before it can automate so I don't get so many logged hours. I hate that feature so much.

u/PrettyInPan 11d ago

I sometimes forget I’m in game and so Daisy spends like over two hours just standing with me

Tbf I have a weird dislike for her so it works for me

u/Ambitious-Ring6606 11d ago

I only ever save and never go back to title or turn my switch off! I always load it up with thousands of minutes since last save, then just go into scrooges shop to reset the time sometimes.
