ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS

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.

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

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.

Spent an hour yesterday with a coworker's 5 year old on my island while simultaneously on the phone with him and it's the most fun thing I've done in 7 weeks. He is desperate to dig holes :)

my partner's sister has a whole flower-breeding preserve taking up a big chunk of the island

n00b seinfeld question: what's the deal with fences? i made a nice little backyard area, only to realize that i don't have a gate or doorway. so now i have a haystack completely enclosed by a fence. everything is normal in Boneyarden.

finally got my 2-room expanded house!!

fences rule imo

I like the wee stone fence and the haybale fence

this is the hybrids guide I've been using
https://www.belltreeforums.com/threads/acnh-guide-on-hybrids.516964/

oh wait! so i should use an object as a "gate", so i can still enter and exit the fenced area by clambering over it. that'll work, thanking you!

Whoever wrote up how to control rock spawning used a toilet as the gate to his rock garden as a reminder to dump that fruit energy.

I enjoyed a work video chat today where people were asking what kind of game AC is

You do work and build things and swear at a raccoon for holding your mortgage, I said. Also, there are outfits

The MayDay maze island was fun - I'd forgot the last AC game had that thing where you could go and do comps (mazes, speedruns etc) and I hope they do more of that. The maze puzzle reminded me a bit of Links Awakening.

implementing these changes would take nintendo about 2 weeks, but would also drop the time people spend playing the game from about 30 minutes a day to about 15

Goddamn Aussies living in the future making me think I already missed the May Day tour window

People complaining about animal crossing need to go outside and try to dig up real weeds for about an hour, and then go make friends while covered in sweat and dirt

Wasnt the mayday tour window only til the 4th or 5th though?

fun little maze

At a mere ten days, Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ cherry blossom season is woefully short. Many players didn’t manage to find all the accompanying DIY recipes during that time frame. Players could time travel so that they don’t have to wait nearly a year to get another chance. But there’s another option. You just have to be willing to drop a ton of bells.

Nookazon, the leading Animal Crossing marketplace, launched an “auction” feature in early May that lets players bid on items of interest. A Nookazon representative tells Polygon that, so far, the biggest auction on the site was over a bundle of 100 cherry blossom petals. Initially posted at 10,000 bells, the auction closed with a bid of a whopping 2.8M bells.

The price point, while outrageous, makes sense. Most players aren’t in early spring anymore, meaning that items belonging to that season are now rare and therefore open to be sold at a premium. Anyone who had the foresight to stock up on their seasonal crafting materials, rather than using them up, can now sell them at a huge profit. The wider pricing trends just two days ago saw a single petal hit a high of 40,000 bells — though Nookazon lists the “average” price at 25,000.

wait...i have 10 cherry blossom petals, so...am i rich?

I succumbed and bought this game

Purple mum, blue pansy, and black rose have sprung up. I convinced my workout obsessed pig neighbor to move away and a workout obsessed cat moved in. The golden retriever sent me a very needy note this morning.
