Lately I've been wanting to redesign my New Horizon (NH) island lately.
I'm also thinking of starting my own Animal Crossing blog documenting the island's evolution.
Speaking of Animal Crossing I find it a bit odd how gen 1 had the best gyroids.
Sure NH has no limit to how many can be active at once, but gen 1 I feel had more interesting designs than the bubbley style the new ones have now.
I also prefer the gyroid sounds prior to the NH versions.

Today is the Five Nights at Freddy's 11 year anniversary.
I still remember the first time I watched Markiplier play FNAF on the YouTube 3DS app
Playing as the night guard was (still is) such a unique gameplay experience.
It was really cool being there since the beginning, seeing the franchise evolve from a small indie game to a major series with its own movies.
Anyway my dearest Melpert who is your favorite animatronic?
I'd say mine has always been Chica, especially the glamrock and rockstar versions.
But as of late I've taken a liking to Dollie.

I recently started going through my 3DS looking for old screenshots.
But in doing so, I realized there's some potential lost media that could become more and more lost every day.
What I'm referring to are the game demos.
Now with the eShop gone, new ones can't be downloaded.
This is a problem because for some reason on the 3DS, demos have a limited amount of times you can play them.
Once the maximum number of times the demo can be played is reached, it becomes unusable.
I don't know if there are any fan projects that were able to archive any of these demos, but it seems like something that would be in danger of becoming lost media over time.
Another potential piece of 3DS lost media would be the themes, badges from the badge arcade, and promotional videos from either the eShop or the special distribution networks like Spot Pass.

I find it interesting how people still discuss, and theorize about old games more than new ones.
What made me think of this is Animal Crossing (GC).
I was watching a video about theories on the identity of 2 characters shown on a wanted poster.
Such a small detail used to fill in the background of the police station in a 22 year old game.
Yet after all this time many (including myself) find these old mysteries intriguing.
This made me realize that in many cases old games often had more personality put into them, and it's not simply rose tinted nostalgia glasses.
What really confirmed this for me is when I played old games for the first time that I had no nostalgia for.
Inspite of not having nostalgia for any particular game, I found myself enjoying older titles from the 1990-2012 era more than most sterlalized corporate modern titles.

First post here.
Testing out the api, it seems a bit clunky.
Other than that the convenience is pretty good.
The good thing is with that I can update (some) pages more often.
