@NoxAeturnus most people who do the "I Forced A Bot" thing are lying and they wrote the thing, but I'm an actual member of Botnik and I write my own Twitter bots
@Spider-Kev I think you'll find that my name is Kate Gray, I have a large family of seven kids. I got married in 2012 and have two kids in this family. We have two kids who are born and raised in the United States, and they have all been born out of this home." ― Mike Piazza, to his son Mike Sr., after their son, Mike Sr. died in a fire.
@EthanVW Good question — I understood it as each partition wall = +5 points, but I think that might be too generous? Can't hurt to use at least a couple just in case, though!
Folks, please try to remember that not everyone is an adult with good motor function. Catching wasps might seem "easy" to you, but I can guarantee that it's not easy for everyone. Please don't be rude about it.
@Zebetite You can set your time to 2020, then reset your island, and it seems like it'll be okay. But from the Reddit thread, it seems like time travelling ahead a year won't work? It's all a bit confusing, tbh
@Andy_Witmyer they are very ugly but yes, they are functional!! You can only really have two on the island though. More will still work, but it'll be trial-and-error to go to where you want to, since they're all connected.
I just wish you could customise them. Even just the colour!
@QueenKittenWrite the game is free on mobile, and only $4.99 on consoles and PC — the devs are entitled to charge more if they want to, especially for optional cosmetic content.
@nessisonett bring back British Nintendo ads. Let's get Cheryl on Mario Party with Kerry Katona and that one lass from Come Dine With Me who gloved chips onto a plank x
@rockodoodle She's one of the options on Harv's Island — her setup will be in the bottom left of the campsite. Just pay 100,000 Bells to Lloid to bring her to the island!
@bimboliquido It's unlocked through Happy Home Paradise! You have to press the L button while decorating, and then press A next to a piece of furniture. Hold down to polish more!
@TwinFami @Daniel36 It's just a few patterns that I put down manually! One for the stairs, one for the planks, and one for the wall either side of the stairs. It only looks correct from that one angle, because it's a flat optical illusion, but it does look nice
I wish I could remember the designer, but this was a year ago 😅
@Deviant-Dork it is a touchy subject! But: yeah, I consider it to be a game. I understand the counter-arguments (if you can have the same experience by watching a let's play, what's the point, etc) but I just don't really care too much about prescriptivism when it comes to defining genre
I think that having a wider understanding of what a "game" can be will only improve the medium. I hope that answers the question!
@singingbrakeman I probably wouldn't have pushed through it if I didn't have this diary to write, but I'm glad I did. Those first few hours really don't do the game justice!

Re: Random: There's A New Wasp Escape Trick In Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0
@faint no hard feelings! There has been a lot of AC content lately, and half of it is guides that don't even appear on the homepage
Re: Random: There's A New Wasp Escape Trick In Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0
@faint I have to write a bunch of guides for the update and the DLC — this is just a bit of fun while I'm doing all that, or I'd go insane.

Re: The Pokémon Store Is Now Selling Very Round, Very Squishy, Very Large Pokémon Plushes
