Ep. 42: Anniversary Crossing! (ACNH Retrospective and 2.0 Discussion)

It’s the 1-year anniversary of GAY FOR PLAY!!! We’re celebrating by taking it back to the game that started it all for us: Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which fittingly, recently received a massive 2.0 update and DLC expansion with Happy Home Paradise. We discuss what’s new about the game, what the game has meant for queer players over the past year and a half, and how to get back into the game if you’re one of the many people who fell off of the game at some point (spoiler alert: it’s not too hard!)


We also discuss how our discussions of queerness on the show have changed over the past year, what the future holds for our show, and as always, what else we’re gay for this holiday season!


Whether you’ve been with us since day 1, or this is your first episode, we thank you so much for listening to this show! It’s been so fun to make and we couldn’t have done it without your love and support (well, we *could* have, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as fun.)


Happy Turkey Day!
