Nintendo really has Animal Crossing players in 2026 being like "you can jump now!!!!"

I don't have much to say about the news except that fellas you should check on the women in your life because many of us have been called a "fucking bitch" for just trying to exist and we're always wondering when it will happen next and if we'll survive. Anyway I'm going to go play video games now

My big life hack is that if you don't want to get added to group chats, just get an Android phone. This strategy has worked for me for a long time but today, I was added to my first group chat in since ditching my iPhone in 2015 and my god, how do you people live with this chaos
