    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   Thank you to my patrons and supporters!
