ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

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.

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.

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

Yeah, looking at people’s perfectly manicured islands online tends to be more deflating than inspiring in my experience.

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

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

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

workin on my man cave

hey man can i come over and check out that cool ship in a bottle while maybe also listening to some tapes?

mos def, pick up some crispy brews otw

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

Every time you visit my house there might as well be a beardo in a robe saying “it’s dangerous to go alone! Take this”

Plus a stereo blasting KK as you usually do

sounds like your mc comes up strong on the cave side but might be lacking in DUDEDUDEDUDEDUDEDUDE

oh man i need one of those little tape boomboxes, it looks exactly like my old teenage one.

Yesterday my shop was selling a claw foot bathtub for 26thousand bells. You better believe I bought the damn thing. I dont even have a bathroom yet.

so does anyone have peaches? it's the last fruit we need and i told my kids i'd ask

I do!

As do I!

I got all the froots now, if anyone else is in need.

let me know when i can drop by plz

Mah gates are open now. Its 1.40 in the afternoon and raining! And theres fruits to help yrselves to on the flea market benches just by the airport

I have all the foots

kk vapor pls

there are far too many problems with this game

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)

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

does anyone know how the invite camper / amiibo thing works?

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?

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

Karl, which island? Mine’s in the northern hemisphere. That’s all I’ve got as far as location, though.

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.

Man, some of the irritating quirks do wear you down. I was giving back the drunk duck’s cell phone parts for the 20th time, initiated the conversation with him right as a villager was “!” and chasing me down. Like by the 50th text screen, the villager just lost interest and left. I’m sure he was probably trying to give me a dumb cherry hat or something, but I’ll never know!

Duck needs to stfu tbh

I couldn't find his last part the other day so I just kept 'em, I'll miss whatever weird souvenir he was going to send me but I need those parts to build a giant robot

I made a fortune telling booth up the top hill hidden in the woods, with candle holders and a velvet chair and goth mirror, I cant wait to see what it looks like in the dark tonite.

Got a red curtain wallpaper today and now that spare room I was unsure what to with is now definitely gonna be the Black Lodge.

I’m making my own dinosaur museum in the attic because blathers keeps rejecting my fossils, but I’m mixing and matching body parts and getting a bit of a Doctor Moreau thing.

Witchy wommannnnn

lol, love it

can't wait to see some of my villagers kicking about in "celtic away kit 09-11"

my creator code is MA-9415-6268-3824

anyone messed with the flower breeding? fuck a blue rose. missing lots of purples also, plus green mums

I'm playing with flowers haphazardly. Purple tulips, pink and blue windflowers, pink mums and lilies, blue hyacinths.
