It is gorgeous so I recommend that anyone who either has restraint or money play it.

But what if we like pretty games and have neither of those things?

Feel wistful like me.

Did you like the game Snake?

Does mass transit give you a (lady)boner?

If you answered "yes" to both questions, I present to you...

It is exactly what it says on the tin, and it is hilarious and fun.

Been playing a lot of Stardew Valley.

My farm is better than your farm.

I am still obsessing over Space Engineers. Not the perfect space survival game, but it'll do.

@Ganymede Which edition is that? Blood Bowl 2 keeps crashing on my PC now for no reason.

That’s Blood Bowl 2. My version also keeps breaking down for no damn reason, telling me that there’s a problem with my video drivers or some bullshit.

If it gets any more annoying, I’m just going to put it on my PS4 and officially cancel Steam.

Work from home they say, the day before Animal Crossing comes to Switch & the Final Fantasy 7 remake comes to PS4. Sure, I'll "work" from home.

I am so upset I don't have money for Animal Crossing. Want it so bad. I the franchise.

So I've created a Discord server for Animal Crossing. To share tips/tricks, open up your island for visitors, w/e. Did it because a handful of us from a (limited) server I'm on began a DM and I realized that we all had friends beyond said limited server... So rather than an unwieldy DM, I decided to make a server.

So, feel free to join or to tell others about it. It's meant to be open to all: https://discord.gg/89skYkP

It's sooooort of like Harvest Moon, but with more focus on gathering. You have a town. It's got villagers in it (there's a few dozen different ones and they can cycle through living in your town). Your goal is to improve the town and collect stuff (bugs, fish, fossils...). It's very cutesy, relaxing, and easy to play.

I've heard it's like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon. I don't know what either of those are either.

But got it for the spawn anyways.

It has similarities, but is much easier to play than those.

I love Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon IN THEORY, but they feel so tedious at the start that I can never play for long.
(I should look into Stardew mods to improve this.)

Outsourcing the name of my Animal Crossing island, halp.
