Animal Crossing: Wild World truly is a great DS game and Animal Crossing Experience. While the game play is so much simpler than New Horizons it is still an enjoyable experience and the music can not be beat.

      @ yes it does, multiple things happened on my end too much to describe but i’ll do my best. Bought a brand new ipod classic, i plugged it in and it appeared in my apple music. I bought 5 songs from an album on amazon music and downloaded it to my pc as a mp3 file. I then use the sync settings on finder since i have a 2022 macbook air. Once i clicked on the music tab and selected the album i wanted synced it says an error code about it not recognizing the file(pretty much saying that it isn’t compatible and its non existent) unfortunately I downloaded some apple music directly to my macbook and then tried to sync(trying to save some money) and now those songs are saved to the music tab on my finder. I deleted those downloaded files so i can see exactly the songs i actually purchased vs the ones i downloaded from apple music but its all saved still and idk which will now be the right files when it finally works eventually. Im thinking of just fixing my old 2013 macbook thats been sitting for years and just hooking it up. Im sure i still have the old itunes app on there and might just get my music the old school ways??

    FFXIII felt really monotonous. I remember playing 10+ hours and didn't feel like finishing the story mode. Yes a lot of people are probably nostalgic for the game now that it has been 15 years since launch, but I have no warm feelings towards FFXIII or the cast of characters. I don't think linearity is a big problem with the game considering FFX is my favorite in the series and that game was also quite linear. It's probably the lack of proper world building and the characters not clicking with me.

    I've never used an iPod, but I would think PSP would automatically be superior even just as an mp3 player because of being able to listen to music through its speakers, which you can't do on iPod. I have compared it to my iPhone though, and honestly I think the sound quality is surprisingly better on PSP. Plus the visualizers and equalizer settings are so cool. And on top of all that, the PSP is not only a Sony-quality mp3 player, but also a near-PS2 quality gaming machine, AND a dvd-quality portable movie player. It's an all-in-one device, so honestly I've gotta hand it to the PSP. Such a cool little device.
