    Is Animal Crossing Good for Your Mental Health?

    Is Animal Crossing Good for Your Mental Health?

    Description
    Katzbe talks about if the Nintendo game Animal Crossing is beneficial for your mental health (hint: it is!).

    Bonus Info
    - Correction: The NYTimes says that Animal Crossing New Horizons is the strongest Animal Crossing release yet, according to data from the UK and Japan. It is not the best-selling game on the platform (though it is in the top 10).
    - My apologies that this came slightly after the first of the month. I am battling that social isolation lethargy that a lot of us are facing.  Thank You
