Like everyone else in the western world, looking at my phone.

Have there been any video games that have done this for an idle animation?

Someone should mod this into Cyberpunk

IIRC, the Sims sometimes check their phones in the Sims 4. Sometimes even while walking somewhere.

Take out a bag of seeds and begin to make a little mound of spit out seeds to show how long I've been idle

SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Me too only I’d be masturbating and it would be a puddle of semen.

Num10ck@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Both are seeds never destined to be sowed.

Slouched forward shoulders, weight on my heels, head back with a pained expression and small crying sounds.

makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y

I fantasise mine is probably like Trevor in GTA. You never know what you're going to get, or where, but it's going to be fun.

hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

Like Trolls in World of Warcraft.

Vaping and pulling at my beard whilst stood with an uncomfortably wide gate and shifterly looking around every several seconds.

Resol@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Holding my left elbow with my right hand. Idk why, but I always do this gesture. People keep thinking I'm some sort of shy, femboyish think, which, in a transphobic environment does lead to some weird looks.

It looks especially funny with a bright purple bucket hat, dark green oversized sweater (for Brits: jumper), black fanny pack, black leggins, and New Balance shoes. Hmm... maybe I should start wearing this in real life.

otp@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I like how you translated sweater, but not fanny pack.

You might want to look up what "fanny" means in British English! Lol

Resol@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I intentionally didn't do it to avoid potentially witnessing any swear words.

Apologies to all the Brits who came across my comment.

pineapplelover@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Flipping balisong or something

nycki@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I'm like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.
