Jazmine Dudley, content creator at YouTube's PrettyBrown&Nerdy and the podcast Nerd Talk, lifelong gamer, and AC player since the original Animal Crossing, joins us this week to talk about our favorite popular game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Those of you who've played every AC installment since 2002 will recognize, as Jazmine does, Nintendo's efforts toward diversifying character skin tone, hair styles, and facial features. And you also know, as in most diversity and inclusion work, there's more to be done. Jazmine is our first guest who time travels, so if you're like me and new to the practicality of time travel, you'll enjoy this brief explanation and summary of pros and cons. We discuss the social opportunities of the game as a boon to mental health, especially during a socially-distant pandemic.
Jazmine recommends Twitter in general, and specifically the official Nintendo account, and crossinginpiration on Instagram for island design inspiration. I'm personally curious now to try trading my DIY's on Nookazon, finally cleaning up the 40 DIY's littering my beach and making my way into Isabelle's good graces again.
