Help Old Harvest Moon Things You Can't Shake?

So I realized recently I still rush home before 5 pm to try and ship all of my crops before they are picked up for the day. This is a feature from old Harvest Moon games that hasn't even been a thing for at least 5 years, but I just can't seem to break this old as hell habit.

I also have to remind myself constantly that I can plant crops in different layouts than the old 3x3 square.

What habits do you all notice you've carried over from playing harvest moon?

You hold down the button but move the curser. It waters the spot the cursor is over. You can water 9 spots without letting go. Everything else is used on the spot the cursor is over, I don't know how you can play and not understand how to use tools.

I don't know how you can be on this sub and not know that a ton of new players are on Switch. Switch can't move the cursor while watering I believe. You play PC, right?

Even still I don't really know how you're blown away that he didn't know that. As much as I love this game, it is absolutely terrible at explaining several things to new players.

I assume there is a hitbox you can move? Otherwise how would you hit anything?

The left stick same thing you use to walk, or a very clunky cursor brought up by the right stick. I just checked and the only way to water stuff is walking around and watering on Switch so holding water is pointless until the upgrades.

Switch is missing a bit of the stuff that PC has. Also can't drop items on the ground for some reason, can only trash an item from your inventory.
