This week on Last Save Lounge, the cozy gaming podcast about the games that saved our progress (and a little bit of us), we're joined by Nellie of NellieQuests (@nelliequests on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch) to talk about her favorite game of all time: Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Nellie opens up about picking the game back up during a major transitional period in her life, how it reignited a passion for gaming she hadn't touched since her DS days, and why the villagers of Animal Crossing became a source of stability for someone who moved around a lot growing up. We also dig into her creative process as a working actress, why cozy games like Animal Crossing, Paralives, and Palia scratch a similar itch to performing, and her ongoing (deeply ambitious) Bob's Burgers build in Paralives — including a 100 Baby Challenge starring Linda Belcher.
If you love cozy gaming podcasts, gaming memories, and conversations about how our favorite games shape who we are, this episode is for you.
Last Save Lounge is a weekly hangout for people who still think about the games that shaped them. Join us @lastsavelounge on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and if you'd like to buy us a metaphorical coffee (we run on nostalgia and caffeine), find us at patreon.com/hoodieweather.
