ACNH Pet Peeves and Petty Complaints Thread

Here's a petty complaint. I love that Cyrus can customize our items (and for very reasonable prices) but I wish that the animation/sound effects of him customizing were more...more. It's just sort of lacking compared to the hilariously cute animation that shows when Harriet does your hair, for example.
 
One small complaint. I don't know its just me but I can't skip Kappn's sea shanties. You can laugh, clap and make a shocked expression but you can't skip them.

Yes you can :) Press B
 
I’d like to complain that polishing in the HHP dlc is very underwhelming. Did anyone else manage to get an effect other than sparkles?
 
My island must have bad luck because I haven’t seen any new furniture or clothes at my shops :(

Also the stretching is fun, but it doesn’t register my movements correctly. My character is either just standing there awkwardly or she’s way out of sync with everyone else.
 
Did you repeatedly press B? All other buttons do other emotes.

I tried doing B first. I pressed it repeatedly but it didnt skip. Thats how I found out about the other emotes. Did pressing B work for you?

Keep spamming B and he'll be skip :)

Inviting villagers to have a vacation home should remove them from your island. It doesn't make sense that a villager only goes on vacation when you're working. Are they trying to annoy us? "Oh you're going to work? Great! I'll go on vacation then!!!"

Yeah it works for me. I just smash it really fast repeatedly until he stops singing. Maybe you didn’t hit it that many times?

I love the update, most games don’t give you more free content over a year later. I’m hoping to pick up HHD for Christmas.
 
Same! The tarantulas and scorpions are so scary 😖 it sucks that Nintendo made them available all year round instead of just the summer cause now I'm afraid to play after 7pm 😞
Yeah as someone with arachnophobia the fact that big tarantulas are the thing that you need to grind in this game for money is horrifying to me, especially since I'm terrified to go out at night thanks to them, I don't wanna go into near cardiac arrest seeing one, especially not with my net out where they're guaranteed to chase you. Thus making that Night Owl Ordinance I planned to get something I'm gonna have to reconsider... Why... Why couldn't there be a less stressful way for bells outside the money rock? Why make this decision???? I had no stress at all beetle farming in NL, NH isn't supposed to make me scared of night time in game! (Yes ik they're "harmless" when you're not running around with the net, I'm still arachnophobic, so seeing them alone makes me sweat and make my heart go off.)

Anyways, as for my petty complaint. Is it just me, or does swimming/diving feel SO SLOW in this game??? Remember how in NL you'd speed up after a short while underwater before you go back to the surface? I feel that would make catching some sea creatures easier.

You know I don't get this. Happy Home Paradise has all the certain features that could've been more beneficial to our islands, yet we cannot use them. We cannot expand our room space in our own home (In New Leaf it was possible), You cannot move homes using the decoration too (this makes Tom Nook's Moving service look slow), and of course there is alot more better control of where you want to put stuff outside (It makes terraforming on our island look rubbish). Those are certain things that make me wonder why would they not just bring those feature so our island? It was such a miss opportunity.

Personally I'm glad we can't use the exterior decorating tools.
I think they completely destroy what the game is about.
Its all about rewards over time, and putting in what you get out.

But I do think room size changes should be a thing.
We do so much with that in the dlc, it should just be a thing

Sorry but moving stuff outside could be so much easier. Like if you want to have items on a table rotated at a certain angle that is going to be a PITA or impossible. There's putting your time in to get satisfying rewards and just mechanics that could have better QoL.
