It's actually kind of frustrating how deep I've gotten into ACNH again because it's currently 9:43 pm and too dark to do anything in the game...and I gotta wait until tomorrow for mail delivery/extra incline demolition to finish anyway...

2nd, unless something has changed since I worked for Bux, ppl who work at locations inside of Targets/other stores don’t get the employee benefits (like health insurance) of ppl who work at regular locations.
that’s what this campaign is directing traffic to during the strike.

Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Genuinely, as someone who plays several live service games I always have a checklist that's like
- Ask yourself if you're having fun
- Never have a "forever game", play or read or do other stuff alongside it
- Don't set paid subs to auto-renew
- Think about what you want, not what the game wants
- Ask yourself if you're having fun

Any ACNH gamers willing to part with 1-2 blue roses for 50k bells? (They go for about 10k each on Nookazon.) You should be able to plant them on my island without digging iirc...

Back in MY day we got lost in videogames and LOOKED UP where to go/what to do next either in official guides or on GameFAQs. Kids these days have GOOGLE, they should be expected to (at least *learn how to*) look things up
I think it's okay if players who don't pay attention get lost.

4 years' break from ACNH and now I'm back and destroying my "finished" island because I don't like that my villagers' yards are massively unequal in size and changing them is having a domino effect on another section of my island

If your circle isn’t talking about how your favorite fall/winter California nature event elucidates the nuances of your personality… it’s time to find a new circle.

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy
