so turns out this is a really fun and nice outlet to get to be “angry” or “annoyed” and complain about stuff but have it actually be completely unserious. I’m nothing if not wordy so whoops! it’s a liiiiittle long but here are my goofy little mini rants lmao
(also I’m still only slightly past being fully a newbie so if any of these are just me missing something please let me know lol)
- the sound design in the game is so lovely but please, just let me turn off the “Wahoo!” every. single. time. I catch. anything. I’m begging, I keep putting off or avoiding fishing cause I need the sound on for it but then it’s just “wahoo!…..wahoo!……wahoo!….wahoo!”
(ESPECIALLY let me know if I’m missing something on this one!! “Wahoo!” is enemy number one)
- please let me store things, please? I just want like little chest type furniture, like even if it only holds a couple items, just an option to store something in the area I want it without having to drop it on stuff. I was so sad when I realized I couldn’t have a little extra stock IN the stalls, just the top counter. Like I just want my like farm stands or orchard/crop area to be able to store some harvest back stock rather than my home storage being crowded with produce.
- I realize that terraforming alone is already a questionable amount of power to be trusted with lmao, but like if you’re letting me play god at least let me go full send! Specifically I mean how you can’t change the shoreline area. Like I feel like yeah fair restricting us from crazy extending our grass, but it could be fun to bring the beach up farther if you wanted to. But mainly I just want to be able to make like liiiittle tweaks, like even if I’m limited to a block or two. Like idk if it’s just me but there’s always a spot or two where I just want to make ~~~ into ~-~ lol, just one more square before you switch from zig to zag
- and last and smallest lighthearted complaint: Brewster why won’t you let me just sit in the cafe and chill with you? Ok lmao, elaborating on what the heck I mean: I always liked Brewster well enough (I mean I have him to thank for my love of gyroids) but my first island when I was just experiencing the game for the first time I didn’t know about a lot of the things not directly told to you so now since I restarted and talk to him everyday I love him, he’s my boy (no seriously, it feels criminal I didn’t give him and Sable their daily attention the first time around, every new dialogue I walk away thinking “yup I’m pretty sure I’d die for you”) and also when I’m like messing with custom designs or something on the nook phone I always feel a little weird that my character is just randomly standing in whatever area so I was like omg I’m going to go sit my character down in the cafe and they can adorably keep Brewster company while I’m monkeying around! Welp turns out every seat is reserved besides the one you only sit in to buy coffee, ngl I took it a smidge personally lmao, like come on man I thought we were homies
