Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Builds LEGO Tool That Plays The Game For Them

For all the Tom Nook haters out there: TOM NOOK IS A GOOD GUY!

He set up the whole island experience for you, who brought LITERALLY NOTHING to contribute to the island. Tom Nook pays out of his pocket for every worthless thing you happen to find on the island. The whole economy for the entire island is funded by Tom Nook. The only thing of value the player brings to the island is their labor, which is not worth much. You can spend < 1hr harvesting fruit and have enough money to purchase many luxury items from the shop. Give this tanuki the respect he deserves! TOM NOOK IS A GOOD GUY!

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

It's human nature. We are addicted to the novelty of new games (among other things). We get excited at the promise that something new brings. We'll get it, feel elated for a while and then will forget about it, or we'll play it and never finish it. Sometimes I think about it like this: I have everything I wanted badly a month or two ago - a game, a book, whatever - and it didn't satisfy. There's new stuff I want now, and the joy that came from getting those new items didn't last long. It is a pattern of behavior that is much easier to combat once you realize you have it, and I think to a greater or lesser extent all people do. It's human nature and is likely linked to greed or selfishness or some other negative force that lurks in our souls. Practicing contentment is a good antidote to this, in my opinion. In the context of this article, getting less games, or more thoroughly enjoying the ones already owned.

Just some things I've thought about before, because I've noticed this in my videogame-buying habits.

@Blizzia Senran games score in the 6 - 7 range usually, and this game, from what is shown, looks like it could score in that range too. It looks stylistically similar to the Senran Kagura franchise, and unless this game ends up getting awful reviews that set it on a much lower level than Senran Kagura it does no disservice to the series to make the comparison.
