Started getting it done fairly recently too, and it absolutely gets easier after the first time. Rest well for now though!

This game makes you feel like the coolest person ever

Those clips of Rick’s special are nothing, this is what it really looks like to lose control:

She just can’t stop winning

(They really need to change the name of a specific late game enemy though; embarrassing that it made it through to release)

To answer myself from a week ago: it did live up to moon.

(also congrats new york; may this be just the start of an even greater change)

I’m always saying this

Slowly making my way through it; kinda unbelievable how pretty this game is. These areas are all within the same general section of the game, and it has consistently looked that good the whole time so far.

Playing NH during lockdown was legitimately a huge contributor to my egg cracking (the miracle of being allowed to put your avatar in a dress and thigh-highs) so it really bums me out I can’t revisit that save without wincing whenever the player name comes up. Pouring my energy into those rituals!

Okay, we DO love Panel de Pon, but you still aren't going to suck me back in until that bastard Tom Nook opens change of name applications on his regressive-ass island...

It's especially frustrating knowing Pocket Camp (which released *before* New Horizons) does let you change your name from the menu whenever. Can't see why another game in the same series shouldn't also allow that.

I'd go as far as saying it's just flawed design to have the player commit to choices made less than an hour into a game designed for people to play for hundreds of hours. When a game is selling itself on allowing the player to freely express themselves, these barriers shouldn't exist.

Holy shit Dakota, looking great!!! 💖
