Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch
And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah
But though it promised games for free
And mobile ports on your TV
It's a cold and it's a broken Founders' Ouya

Mondays are tough; have a Japanese TV commercial for the Nintendo 64 version of Animal Crossing, as it was originally intended.
Kinda; it was first planned for the 64DD. Follow @kelslewin.bsky.social to know more about the game, as she has written a whole book about it.

in the original animal crossing, chestnut was originally going to be a possible native “fruit” tree.
It was replaced by the cherry tree.

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.

When it comes to a wedding guestlist people always ask if you have a big family but they never ask how podcasts you’ve done.
Thrilled to have worked with so many talented people and even more thrilled to get to call so many of them friends.
