    I feel like every game should be experienced how you want it to be experienced. Most popular games are going to have many different communities so why should we dislike them if they aren’t harming anyone else? And they’re probably having a great time doing so. So when I look at the Animal crossing speed running community I think to myself “ I wouldn’t do it but at least they’re having fun” 👍

    I think you'd like papers please, return of the obra dinn, baba is you, and Stephens sausage roll. Papers please and return of the obra dinn both have great stories and while papers please is a bit stressful, it's still worth it to experience the great story. Baba is you and Stephens sausage roll are great and charming puzzle games that can be a bit frustrating, but are still relaxing.

    Okay I need to say I love that game a short hike, I think I bought it last year when it was shown off in an indie direct, I was told it was hard to look at but I couldn't get it out of my head man I really did think it looked adorable and I didn't even know what you did in the game whatsoever I just wanted it It's so cute and I still haven't collected everything, like all the feathers I belive in the game, plus I've barely done the fishing yet. I've gotten to the top of the mountain though. Im glad i was reminded of it, I think I'll play it either very soon or during autumn as it really is a nice autumn game :]

    I love A Short Hike so much. I started playing it a couple months in to 2021, and by now I've totally 100% it. It's so cool discovering new things, like if you dig up the graves bones come out, or if you switch to the pickaxe in beachstickball the ball pops and the guy your playing against gets mad. Also, I found a glitch where if you drive the boat on land and ram it into the opponent you can slightly push him and if you do it enough he gets in the water. Then, if you start a game, the ball just bounces back without anyone hitting it. I don't really have much else to say, great video though! Edit: Just watched the wholesome direct, here are the games I liked most: Here Comes Niko Yokai Inn Garden Story Dordogne Bear and Breakfast (I had to get rid of like 2/3 of them because they weren't on the switch, which kinda sucks)

Maybe because it lights up my love for Digimon again. I love seeing the digivolution possibilities and then grind to get it. It's rewarding and I haven't played the game again because I'm afraid it will consume me again if I do.

    Thank you for covering Go Vacation a bit. It's incredibly underrated, I mean it's basically Wii Sports Resort but on the Switch and Open World... It even supports Miis! And if you can get past the slight cheesiness and the one major flaw, which is the game simplifies the activities the first time. So I recommend playing them at least twice. Just make sure quit out of the activity once from the results screen and start it again to unlock the more interesting version. But yeah it's surprisingly like one of the best games, I love it

    1:21 I can confirm, Smash does bring out the worst in me but it makes everyone else so much worse. Which is why given any opportunity, I play Quickplay with items on (I put everything on). But even that’s not a guarantee. People are so allergic to items and final smashes that most of the time, they’ll go out of their way not to have fun for a change and SD 3 times just so they can see Final Destination, Battlefield and Small Battlefield for the umpteenth time. Also, I knew I had to make this comment when all the clips I saw were of Omega stages.
