Animal Crossing: New Horizons (min-maxing) with Kat Brewster

About this episode

While preparing for Series 2 in the midst of a pandemic, we’ve made this bonus mini-series about a game that has arrived at an opportune moment for millions of isolated and anxious people worldwide: Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

In this first episode, Jordan and Kat discuss the notion of min-maxing and the discomfort that comes when the process of optimisation involves the consumption of natural resources. And, since Kat is a researcher of archives, they pose the question: why do we collect things?
