Yes! I appreciate that the Dream Islands allow for folks to get creative (with friends!!!) instead of having to constantly rebuild their islands if they want to try a new style.

Right? Nintendo's treatment of Animal Crossing will never make sense to me.

Trying to exclusively focus on this to savor my brief joy before looking at the horrifying realities of other news taking place 🙃🙃🙃🙃

I still can't believe Nintendo randomly dropped a major ACNH announcement and reveal randomly on a Thursday morning. Y'all, I'm so happy 😭

If you are interested in indie games coming to Xbox, give the ID@Xbox Showcase a watch! I got a chance to work on this and am proud of what the team put together

Found to report also but jfc this person is vile

Miranda Sanchez @havokrose.bsky.social · 10d

So immensely fitting, congratulations Kat!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I didn't click with Arceus as much as I wish i did. I agree!

Miranda Sanchez @havokrose.bsky.social · 11d

Please admire my massive Alpha Hawlucha. She's a giant and strong and I love her.

Miranda Sanchez @havokrose.bsky.social · 11d

There's definitely some things that could be better, but I'm really enjoying Legends: Z-A! The NPC one-liners are wonderfully weird. I like the fashion (ofc). It's great reuniting with members of my team too! I wish there were more ways to meaningfully spend time with my Pokémon, though.

New Unlocked! We had to hold it to align w/Keeper's review embargo so we could talk freely...

With the great @timoflegend.bsky.social & @leepetty.bsky.social from @doublefine.com! We chat w/them (no spoilers) about Keeper & why we love it, then talk ROG Xbox Ally X! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwgW...

AME I MISS YOU. I've been building slideshows of the clothing all day and ahh! I can't wait. Are you playing?!

Miranda Sanchez @havokrose.bsky.social · 15d

Ah yay a happy reunion!! I wasn't too optimistic based on pre-release previews, but our reviewer's in-progress review (and chats with her) have made me so much more excited! It's hard not to be at least a little excited for new Pokemon. I hope we both enjoy it!!

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

New Review! 2XKO has sunk its hooks into me. Super fun characters, excellently designed mechanics, and welcoming to newcomers while still being fiercely technical at higher levels. www.ign.com/articles/2xk...

Simple inputs lower the skill floor while deep mechanics push the ceiling above the clouds.
