That was it, thank you! I was so certain I had already seen a lot of my playtime 😅

We played a lot on the Switch/2 last year 😃

Looking forward to seeing this area change 👀

For the last 3 years I've focused on a different AC game on YouTube. First was City Folk, then ACNL, and currently we're playing Animal Crossing for GameCube...

In a little over a week we're starting Wild World, and I'm so excited!! It's the game I know the least, but I can't wait to learn 🤓
