The format of these posts is simple: let's discuss a specific game or series!
Sadly I am feeling horribly ill right now, as I have Covid for the 3rd time in my life. Nothing serious, but just feeling like shit for the third day in a row. This made me think back to a game that released at the perfect time during the pandemic (the one that isn't Among Us).
Let's discuss the Animal Crossing series. What is your favorite game in the series? What aspects do you like about it? What doesn't work for you? Are there other games that gave you similar feelings? Feel free to share any thoughts that come up, or react to other peoples comments. Let's get the conversation going!
If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

ACNH could have been so incredibly good, but there's so much low hanging fruit, qol-wise, that they seem to have intentionally not addressed.
I heard some airy fairy info about how they added frustrating aspects to encourage players to take a break but its honestly nonsense. Bulk operations have so much friction, playing the game in multiplayer removes such a great deal of functionality to the point where it's just not fun to have people on your island.
In fact that's the part that frustrates me the most, they had mini games and such in a previous entry for multiplayer fun times! Why can't we have stuff like that in ACNH? Truly baffling.
It did get me through lockdown though, so +1 for that.
