Ooh, it looks like the black MacBook from 2007! Definitely my favorite Apple laptop I've ever used. Less plasticky feeling than the iBook it replaced, more comfortable to use than the metal unibody machines that replaced it. I had the plain old white version and stuck a bunch of blackbook replacement parts on it to make it look kind of like an oreo.

That sounds like it'd look awesome, do you have any photos of it? :>

3 full size USB ports, a USB-C port (could it be Thunderbolt?), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an SD card reader. All in all, Tom Nook’s laptop appears to have pretty decent connectivity options for a modern laptop, while still remaining relatively thin.

I would say it's 2 full size USB ports and 1 HDMI.

Quite the opposite. So enthralling one obsesses over it and incorporates it into their own dreams and fantasy. Nintendo is quite special. The Studio Ghibli of gaming.

I'm pretty objective since I've beaten every Zelda and I can't agree. Their games just aren't at the same level as anything modern. They use a big marketing budget to push their otherwise medicore platform. Although I think n64 was decent.

7 of the top 25 highest rated games are Nintendo. Of course whether or not you like a game is personal and subjective but only pointing out lots of people disagree with your assessment

For me BotW is my favorite game ever. Not saying it's a perfect game or that you should like it but for me personally I got 120 hours of pure joy from that game. Where as I didn't get into Witcher or Skyrim etc.. (not saying those are bad games, just didn't do it for me).

Maybe the inside is bigger than the outside to fit all of that stuff in ;-)

Given the apparent prevalence of Time Lords and Tardises in the Animal Crossing universe (looking at you, Blathers), it wouldn't surprise me.

I didn't read the GP's comment the same way you did. Cheating in a single player game is like looking up a spoiler for the end of a movie. There's nothing wrong with it, but you should be aware the game may not be as much fun afterwards.

I played Skyrim on god mode. Plenty fun for me.

Very nice work! How did you narrow down your search to extract the laptop model specifically, among what must be thousands of 3D assets. I'd love a breakdown of your process!

Seconding this! It'd be great if you could include the extraction process from the beginning too for those of us who are unfamiliar.

Cool, just stay offline if you do though. I don't want people dropping hacked in items on my island, it kind of defeats the purpose of progression for those who aren't cheating.

By the way, how can we visit other players' islands? We don't have any friends with a Switch with whom to exchange invitation codes.

I read that people are exchanging codes on Twitter etc.
