Ugh. I mean as someone who only manages to play this maybe 30 mins a day and who isn’t time travelling or chasing crazy turnip prices on reddit or doing any of the other exploits Nintendo seem to be getting pissy about, moves like this make me reluctant to carry on picking it up at all. Making my game slower and more grindy because someone else got rich faster than you wanted them to is such a weird bullshit way to treat your core users.

Nintendo is the most finicky about people playing its games the way it wants you to
― silby, Friday, 24 April 2020 21:23 (four years ago) link
I guess I’m not too worried about it because you can make enough bells to the point of bells being almost meaningless through the turnip/Reddit axis, but yeah, can understand it being annoying for a casual player not wanting to deal with that.

Turnips are a bullshit mechanic designed to feed addiction and they should be eliminated from the game

kinda cosign? stalk market always struck me as a weird rigged game no matter how it works. art imitating life.

My turnip prices completely tanked this week. I'm not cut out to be some high risk turnip trader.
Redd did sell me a totally non-sketchy painting this morning, which was nice. My favorite moments lately are when I'm in Resident Services early and catch Nook and Isabelle doing calisthenics.

This cover of MBV in a KK Slider style is well done.

How are any of the mechanics in this game not feeding addiction? Straight designed that way.

really wish the abel sisters had a cart system tho. really want to drop 100k bells on every colour of hat and shirt each day pls but current system is a faff

Fishing, tending flowers, catching bugs, and chatting with neighbors don’t seem aggressively capitalist. It seems like you’re only focused on the “mechanics” as far as raking in bells are involved. I’m only interested in bells to the extent they can be used to build infrastructure really, and I’m fine with taking that gradually. I think I’ll take my 42K net turnip revenues and leave the gambling to others.
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 25 April 2020 15:11 (three years ago) link
And that’s cool. Me too. I did the Turnip hustle one week. Easily ignorable if it’s not your bag. The comical capitalist pain undercurrent is not remotely a hot take on my part, but also easily ignorable.
― circa1916, Saturday, 25 April 2020 15:37 (three years ago) link
I think Redd's first painting's always gonna be legit cos you need it to give to Blathers and start the museum off. After that it seems it'll be the same as previous games - look for the slight off details, to tell if its faek.
I never play turnips unless theyre around 90 or less. Its a silly aside.
What Im sick of now is I have so many DIY cards that I have 2 or more of and you cant store them, and if you drop them on the ground like I did with my fleamarket, you get pinged for "mess" in the Tidy Town stats. I ended up selling them all, just to get rid of the bloody things.
If anyone has any of the exotic/asian style or classic style dark wood furnitures btw let me know. I will pay good bell.

we went to my coworker's island yesterday and it's very well organized with beautiful straight sidewalks between all the houses, floral decorations, a spa area, etc. and my kid basically threw a tantrum bc our island is kind of chaotic and it costs 50,000 bells to move each house if we want to fix it so they were demanding that we all contribute large sums of bells so they can rearrange our whole island. long story short, never go to anyone else's island, especially if they apparently have endless amounts of time to play animal crossing
― na (NA), Monday, 27 April 2020 14:41 (three years ago) link
Yeah, looking at people’s perfectly manicured islands online tends to be more deflating than inspiring in my experience.
― circa1916, Monday, 27 April 2020 14:50 (three years ago) link
if you go to our island there are pieces of furniture like big four poster beds and refrigerators just sitting outside in the middle of the woods or on the beach
― Mordy, Monday, 27 April 2020 14:52 (three years ago) link
my #1 wish for this game would be an island designer feature similar to the room designer where you can make terrain changes, move stuff around, etc. without having to hit the exact right spot with your shovel over and over
― na (NA), Monday, 27 April 2020 14:54 (three years ago) link
it bugs me how some location-dependent actions do the action in front of you, while others do the action to the space you are on
lol Mordy. Respect.

I’ve been following the thread as I debate whether to buy a switch and the game Having installed a new light fixture the other day and having a hell of a time getting things to line up, and having to plant some flowers in a different location in my yard because there was too much gravel near a retaining wall... I think my house is already an AC island

no house is to be deemed a “cave” unless you have the rammed earth walls and fossil dig floor, as I do

Such as?
(Im always curious to know what ppl think are problems as Ive been playing this game since 2004 and it hasnt rly changed much in its basic structure)
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 30 April 2020 04:10 (three years ago) link
def lots of problems with it: can't craft multiple; can't craft from storage; dodo airlines UX is a dog; can eat multiple turnips but not multiple other fruits etc etc
still love it tho

― Mordy, Thursday, 30 April 2020 20:01 (three years ago) link
Agree on the multiple crafting/craft from storage thing fo sho. The air travel thing is apparently something to do with saving / preventing ppl from stealing ppls shit, but it should be more elegant.

today i got the World Map item and immediately set off toward my house to reach what i assumed would be the end of the game: figuring out whether or not animal crossing takes place on the planet Earth or in another world.
it's definitely Planet Earth. The ACNH island is on Earth. where is it, though?
― let me be your friend on the other end! (Karl Malone), Friday, 1 May 2020 05:23 (three years ago) link
it says world map, but it doesn't say what world. i think it's just evidence that we are a fiction existing inside animal crossing
― Hackers (1995) (Will M.), Friday, 1 May 2020 06:06 (three years ago) link
Karl, which island? Mine’s in the northern hemisphere. That’s all I’ve got as far as location, though.
― mh, Friday, 1 May 2020 18:01 (three years ago) link
oh, it doesn't show the location of the island, it's just a world map with the United States, all of the continents, etc. I guess I should have already known that the animal crossing universe is in the same universe as Earth, since the day/night cycles are synced to the same 24 hour cycle.
