In gaming . . .

Being as into Animal Crossing: New Horizons as I’ve been, the news about upcoming events is much appreciated. Especially considering playing the game at a regular pace — not time warping or relying on visitors or visiting other players to get items etc or advance in-game abilities —- has left me feeling like we’re in something of the initial lull when it comes to the pacing of the game.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Now that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has launched for Nintendo Switch, the first seasonal event is on its way! Between April 1 and April 12, residents of the island can participate in Bunny Day to find eggs hidden by bunny visitor Zipper and craft special items with them. The next free update to the game hits in late April, which adds the Earth Day event.

I was super into Bravely Default on the 3DS, so I’m hyped to try and check out the Bravely Default II demo for the Switch.

BRAVELY DEFAULT II: In this follow-up to the original BRAVELY DEFAULT, four new Heroes of Light embark on a grand and glorious mission guided by the elemental crystals. Like the first game, BRAVELY DEFAULT II features a battle system that emphasizes strategy, with players deciding when to attack (Brave) or hold back and wait for the right moment to strike (Default). With beautiful places to explore and new jobs to acquire, some of which can even be combined, BRAVELY DEFAULT II is another epic RPG in the Nintendo Switch library. A free demo is available today!

This feels strange…

Getting nostalgic about internet chat with 1997.chat

Alex Obenauer has just launched 1997.chat, an AIM-style instant messenger app including a buddy list, away messages, pixelated icons, and whatever Simple Plan-inspired username your heart desires.

Of course, I must stress you don’t conduct truly private messaging via this.

Instead, use Signal !
