ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

...then I suppose you can chuck it all out, I'm thinking of selling it all now. Ugly twee shite.

Last time I got on the happy home academy’s good side they sent me a vacuum cleaner. My floor is an archaeological site. 🖕🏼HHA, man

Y'all! I whanged a gold nugget out of a rock! Have never seen one before!

I have a few of those! Im wondering if my feng shui has helped? Ive had a goldfish in a bowl in the top left corner of room since I started.

• the best friends notification keeps coming on, i open it and it says ‘there are no best friends on right now’, so why fucking notify me at 15 second intervals? (this really does happen constantly and there’s no way to turn it off)
• i pay 100 grand in bells for a bridge and some freeloading hippopotamus fucking sits on it, and then she gets the mad screaming shits when i want to walk across the bridge that i paid for

Yes Im confused by the friends notification too.

And how come the villagers can all sit, and read, and do fecking tai chi and whatever, and i cant!?

because you’ve got a village to build and pay for trayce, this is not some socialist fantasy

e.g. when you pay for 100% of an infrastructure build, and for the opening ceremony the whole village gathers to take the credit before fucking off again

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" indeed

umad cuz I'm stylin' on u (in patagonia)

i'm in the "fix up yr fcking island" stage and kk is coming 2morrow

Sweet. I’ll get some art eventually, still resisting the call of expanding my 1BR cave

Stupidly asked KK to play a song I already have the record for. I just wanted to hear how Space KK would sound as his Unplugged versh!

(it was not that great)

So uh anyone want a copy of Space KK? I have a spare.

i am rapidly losing interest in this game

Its a game of long er... game. You pick it up and poke at it here and there each day or even few days. but the idea is to keep at it over a whole year so you get all the seasons, festivals, etc. It isnt a rush to the goal game.

i am pretty sure kk is the roll credits endgame so from here on in its more of a tamigotchi for me

I’m enjoying checking in about 45 minutes every day to do various things, make a few thousand bells, and eventually put it towards nice infrastructure

trayce: yeah, i think i’ve been going a bit hard with the grind and it’s become monotonous

tomboto: i’ve just started doing that too, ticking off the basic daily stuff (plant a money tree, build a new bridge/incline, use the nook terminal)

it’s easier to enjoy in small doses since I’m not the main player on the island and therefore don’t have Nook giving me a bunch of extra tasks like all that campsite fuss

What I love about it: do the things & get the things - whack trees/get wood chunks, whack rocks/get...stuff - but also the tiny bits of unpredictability: wasps' nests, fossils, random campers, visitors, and turnip prices. The attention to detail in the museum. I could sit in the butterfly room for many long minutes happily. I can fish for so long just watching the water. But it's 30 min in the morning and maybe an hour in the evening and that's plenty.

Yeah the little details are tremendous. When its raining you can see rain hitting the outside of the windows when inside. Fans make plants move. Ive noticed some days are much windier than others.

For me too, the new part I am enjoying (as someone who's played AC on and off for like 15 years, yikes) is being able to remake/remodel the whole town!

do you have to do a thing to trigger the turnip lady showing up on Sundays? Cause the Nook boys have their whole turnip spiel and refuse to talk about them on Sundays but I haven't seen the lady who actually sells them yet?

She leaves at noon I think

Kinda lame she’s only there for like a four hour stretch on Sundays. Why not all day? Didn’t have time to check in the other morning and missed out.

I didnt know that, Ive always seen her but I do play before midday i guess.

I like pottering about on my island making alterations, trying out new ideas, seeing what crazy stuff my villagers will come up w today. it's more of a vibe than a game for me really - just a chill place to hang out and decompress on the couch while watching TV

I got inordinately excited when I found a wild blue wildflower in the highlands this morning.

i'm in the for the money

:/

yesssss

nature day and international museum day sound sooooooo much better than what just happened

I just discovered that pitting on KK Technopop and activating the Shyness reaction is a fun dance party you can totally have in your own island home

YESSSS the art gallery and Leif! I'd missed those!

Now all I need is my gyroids back.

Getting a nice flea market vibe going here, come by if you see me online! Please take my recipes, I need others!

interesting stuff!

I would assume that, you can often recognize the english words (or parts of them) in a lot of the blibbity blah

Hm I always thought they had localised Simlish but that vid suggests otherwise.

let's brainstorm design ideas

on island I have: picnic spot; zen/baths area; windfarm; pool area; residential area w/adjacent campsite; retail area w/little market; allotment area (turnip storage)

in house I have: living room; kitchen; bathroom; japanese themed room

what are other ideas

i still have an easter themed room. need to phase that out.

how about a "hedge maze"?

think bigger

I’m planning on doing a tourist trap island / terra cotta excavation with 1000 Tom Nook statues arranged in rows

all i have is an anatomical skeleton model at the foot of my bed

My partner and her sister have created a Japanese garden. also a meditation labyrinth which was my idea ^_^

i have covered about a sixth of the space in flowers, would like to expand that. it's a butterfly paradise!

I regret not going in knowinng we'd have this level of design control - I scattered my homes all over the map and some people have them in neat rows like a suburb. It seems pricey to relocate anything.

This is a great spot for ideas btw: https://www.reddit.com/r/ACQR/

People are so innovative.
