I now exist in two more places on the internet

[ratbones]

1. Find me on Discord at ratty#9240. I'm new to Discord and I'm not sure how well it's going to go, given my, um, conversation-ending tendencies (Zhu Yilong I feel you man) but I'm continuing to bravely attempting new modes of human communication! (Still not touching Twitter.)

2. Add me on Nintendo Switch, my friend code is SW-1233-2262-2447. I'd love to play Animal Crossing New Horizons with anyone who has it! My island has apples. It also still has a bunch of weeds? I'm taking things at a moderate pace, but I do play every day. I love this franchise so much I bought a Switch just to play it, so.

Welcome to the land of instant communication! I have sent you a friend request, escorted by the most elite of the Discord team's ninjas, so you get the experience of figuring out how the hell that works.

*flails* EVERYTHING IS FINE I HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL

Yay Discord!!! Sent a friend request, hopefully the learning curve isn't too rough on ya! I'm stoked cuz I almost always have it open in the background lol. There's a Guardian server if you want an invite?

Also how are you liking New Horizons? I don't have a Switch, so I play Pocket Camp on my phone. AC is so soothinggg.

I have every confidence that I'll figure out the software and zero confidence that I'll figure out the social skills, ahaahh. I'd like an invite to the Guardian server, though, please! ...I mean, I'll probably just lurk, but.

I've only played Pocket Camp a little bit, but I've sunk loads of hours into all of the main console games, so from that perspective: New Horizons is fantastic! They've streamlined a bunch of previously-irritating aspects of gameplay and given the player a lot more freedom, and everything feels kind of organic in a way I really like. Also it looks gorgeous. (For me, it was totally worth buying a Switch for it, but I knew I'd end up playing it heavily.)

Done and done! Social skills are hard but feel free to hop into my DMs for literally anything ever lol. Likewise, if you're down for me popping into yours... 👀 I mean I already have now but YANNO lmao.

Ahh man yeah, New Horizons sound so nice. It looks really sleek, too—the art is so charming hfhfhf. I'm glad they've made improvements to the gameplay, that's everything!

[ratbones]

Haha, of course, pop into my DMs (again) whenever! That's pretty much what I'm there for. I think.

It's so lovely! I've been a little mesmerized by how the light reflects on the water. Also, the new player characters are super cute. And you can relocate trees. I'm in love.

[rlyqueer]

WHEW love that!

And I'm dying cuz I watched some gameplay video of Horizons and it's just so PRETTY. I would also get mesmerized by the light reflections. And the player characters got more customization options, right? Hngg.

For some reason, Pocket Camp has stopped loading for me (I probably just have to reboot my phone or something), so I've been playing a new game I downloaded that has...consumed me. It's called Animal Restaurant, not that you probably need a new rec so soon after Horizons launched LOL. But I feel you on the gaming vibes right now.

There are more options and also you can just change your appearance at will for free...which, okay, you play Pocket Camp so that sounds like nbd, but none of the console games have ever done that! Yeah, and just in general the game looks and sounds great. The cherry blossoms are blooming now. TTwTT

I've heard of Animal Restaurant but now that I'm looking at it, it looks very cute and cozy and appealing! I might have to download that.

[tinny]

Hee, I've heard of animal crossing. Sounds fun! (I'm not playing it myself, though.)

I am only doing private chats on discord, nothing on any server, but you can chat me up in private any time you like. <3

[ratbones]

Awesome! I'm barely ever on the Guardian server myself, so DMs are good for me too.
