Playing Animal Crossing AND Skyrim on the Same Device

Brief Twitter thread from 5/17/2021, in which I am amused by the juxtaposition of playing Skyrim and Animal Crossing on the same Switch, and what a mashup between the two would be like.

Paul and I were talking about the juxtaposition of playing Animal Crossing AND Skyrim on the same device. Which naturally led right down the rabbit hole of a mashup of the two. The Dragonborn totally being in service to the Jarl Tom Nook before he’ll make them his thane!

How many bells DO you get for selling dragon bones and dragon scales to Timmy and Tommy? And does everybody on your island whip out their armor and weapons to help you fight off dragon attacks?

We figure Blathers would be TOTALLY decked out in plate mail. Talkative and pompous museum curator who’s a surprising badass, especially when combat with bugs is involved. 😀

Oh, and K.K. Slider shows up singing “The Dragonborn Comes” and “The Age of Aggression” and “Ragnar the Red”. 😀
