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

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Someone should mod this into Cyberpunk

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

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

At the top of my head I know Overwatch has looking at phone emotes but it's not an automatic idle animation

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Going Under does this

This is the most accurate answer for 80% of the people on the internet.

Doomscrolling.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

I do have one, I kinda sway/swing my hips/upperbody like this

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Picking at my cuticles and cracking all my joints, while staring into the middle distance.

Methodically cracking all of my knuckles.

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

Standing around awkwardly with my hands in my pockets, because I don't know what else to do with them.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Stroking my c…

… ⬇️chin

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The funny thing about my chin, Jules, is that it's located on my cock!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Definitely lighting a cig (don't smoke kids)

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Bopping to my own head tunes

Fidgeting

Stretching

Balancing on one leg in different ways

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Sitting at my desk, thinking about how nice it must be outside.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Doom scrolling on my phone.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Fiddling with my clothes/hair/anything within reach. For the big "fancy" idle animations that trigger after like 5 minutes of inactivity, I'd bust out my knitting/crochet or a book.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Hit a bong.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Sitting down and bouncing my leg.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Bored toddler.

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Sitting low on a couch, legs crossed on a stool, bouncing the top foot.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Confused Travolta constantly

Ass wriggling on a chair: it is hard for me to keep one position

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

put one foot behind the other knee so I'm standing in one foot, then do squats

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Like Trolls in World of Warcraft.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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

Apologies to all the Brits who came across my comment.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I already have idle animations like video games. See Karlach

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Flipping balisong or something

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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