  • My experience with Animal Crossing started on the DS with Wild World, as I’m sure it did with many others. The game drew me in with its colorful villagers, daily routine, and slice-of-life feel. Years later I got back into the series with New Leaf on the 3DS, putting hundreds of hours into it. The progression system felt just right, and the level of customization for my villager was a real treat. However, when I finally got a hold of New Horizons on my switch, I couldn’t help but feel let down. Rather than a town that felt like it moved on when I didn’t play, I felt like I was in total control. Villagers would have to beg me to let them move out, rather than just leaving on their own. Everything felt a bit too… Doll-house in its design?

    Are you me? No, wait, I started with the gamecube game back in the day, but for the rest… are you me?

    I got new horizons expecting it to be just a better new leaf and it was a huge let down. I spent hundreds of hours in new leaf, I barely made 40 on new horizons and only because I had friends to “play” with (if you can call it play, the game was so empty of everything!). Even the upgrades to shops and the house were a letdown.

    I will definitely try the mod, because I miss the old animal crossing a lot!


  • Italy here. I LOVE bikes, I do part of my commute by bike (the rest by train) and I wish my city made even harder for cars to drive in the city in favour of bikes.

    With that said, we need a law like this here because e-bikes are a new kind of hell for everyone:

    • Most of them are easily modifiable so they reach up to 50km/h without having to pedal. Making them electric motor-scooters.

    • Because of this, they are basically a free for all: no need to respect traffic laws, red lights… fuck, they even pass pedestrians in the sidewalk at speeds that are superior to the speed limit of the street for car

    • Also because of this, you better pray to not get involved in an accident with one. If you are on foot and get hit by one, they will simply run and let you in the ground. And if you are in a car… well, tough luck because you’ll have to pay for your own repair even if they caused them.

    And most of these assholes work for delivery companies like deliveroo, just eat and similars.

    So yeah, since we can’t have nice things, give me a law and fuck all these assholes dearly.



  • This.

    The manbaby is not smart enough to understand politics. He just understands force. By not doing anything “by force”, he just keeps being a manbaby while the world drifts away from him without him even realizing.

    What’s going to happen here is that one day, the turd will start another tantrum and, instead of saying “yes, sir, you are right, now let’s keep being friends”, the same people will just look away the same way a parent ignores a kid throwing a tantrum over a snack they did not get.
