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.
At the top of my head I know Overwatch has looking at phone emotes but it's not an automatic idle animation
Going Under does this
This is the most accurate answer for 80% of the people on the internet.
Doomscrolling.
I do have one, I kinda sway/swing my hips/upperbody like this
Picking at my cuticles and cracking all my joints, while staring into the middle distance.
Stands there.
Looks around.
Picks nose.

Wiggles a bit.

Picks absently at a fingernail.
Stands there.
Chokes on air for a minute.
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
Methodically cracking all of my knuckles.
Standing around awkwardly with my hands in my pockets, because I don't know what else to do with them.
Sleeping. Possibly borritoβd into a blanket.
Overthinking.
Bong rip
drinking a mountain dew. well diet now. well diet doctor pepper. everythings getting expensive. sinces its a game and fantasy let me have a regular mountain dew.
Definitely lighting a cig (don't smoke kids)
Bopping to my own head tunes
Fidgeting
Stretching
Balancing on one leg in different ways
Stroking my beard.

chin
The funny thing about my chin, Jules, is that it's located on my cock!
Sitting at my desk, thinking about how nice it must be outside.
Doom scrolling on my phone.
Bored toddler.
Slouched forward shoulders, weight on my heels, head back with a pained expression and small crying sounds.
Sitting down and bouncing my leg.
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.
Hit a bong.
Sitting low on a couch, legs crossed on a stool, bouncing the top foot.
Ass wriggling on a chair: it is hard for me to keep one position
restless leg syndrome
cracking my back
Confused Travolta constantly
put one foot behind the other knee so I'm standing in one foot, then do squats
Like Trolls in World of Warcraft.
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.
I already have idle animations like video games. See Karlach
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.
I like how you translated sweater, but not fanny pack.
You might want to look up what "fanny" means in British English! Lol
I intentionally didn't do it to avoid potentially witnessing any swear words.
Apologies to all the Brits who came across my comment.
Flipping balisong or something
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.
Vaping and pulling at my beard whilst stood with an uncomfortably wide gate and shifterly looking around every several seconds.
