“I had only the noblest of goals within my heart - enriching myself at the expense of other more skilled competitors. Imagine living in such a utopia, where everything is exactly the same except I have more money.”

“I am aware that my offence has a bitter aftertaste but it was never meant with any bad intention.”

Have you met the average orange wig supporter, they arent the brightest batch. They are convinced COVID is fake and bleach...fucking bleach, is safe to take as a medication...they are hilariously dumb.

It’s called projecting. Trump voters are experts at it (even if they don’t realize it). 

This rules.

On the other hand, in a year it’ll happen again, and this time your island friends will have a whole year of accomplishments with you to celebrate, rather than just a few days or weeks. Will probably make the party even more special :)

Ehhhhhhhh everybody here is overthinking it. Overthinking it, and might I add, still playing it. At the core it’s just a relaxing zen garden of a game where you either ignore the shitty villagers that you hate, or insult their dignity by giving them something hilariously stupid to wear. I have a jock on my island…

I’m still working (retail) and don’t have a lot of time to play. Get home at 6, and after everything is said and done, it’s usually around 9 or so.

as a challenge to myself, I can’t move any building around. Once I place something, is there forever, and my island ended up surprisingly nicely with that. The roads connected in a sensible way and everything!

that’s a very valid strategy! Although is not the only way to improve the rating (fencing and flowers also help, and you can get really creative with those), it is the fastest. Even then, KK came to my island with just a 4-star rating, so you don’t have to do that much yet.

Yeah. The amount of people time travelling are missing the point of literally taking things day by day which turns the experience into the Instagram of games, instilling FOMO and weird vicarious pressures, like you'd mentioned. If you want I would be down to visit your island sometime. I am keeping things simple for…

She’s a child in quarantine, she's already getting denied access to friends, let her have some happiness.

Nah the switch might be less powerful in terms of hardware but irritating Internet stuff is all about Nintendo being bad at online. 

The first time I fished a tadpole was from a pond right outside Tad’s house!! Did he abandon his child??

The issue isn’t with the cutscenes themselves, which are kind of cute, but that they are unskippable. This means they are a pain if you’re trying to have lots of people join.

Nintendo just SUCKS at online. Everything about it is so counterintuitive.

You won’t once you’re on an island with a code shared to dozens or hundreds of people. Try getting more than 10 steps in between cuts. Good luck — we’re all counting on you.

Animal Crossing has been more relaxing and therapeutic for me than anything else. I don’t know why people have such complexes when they see other people with nice elaborate islands and homes. I would think that kind of stuff would give you inspiration instead of envy.

It’s a shame she only comes out before noon. I’m never awake before noon on Sunday.
