Place your random thoughts.

yeah this also happened like 4-5 years after new leaf was released, when I started being active on here in mid-late 2016 there weren't many active people at all. that would explain why the 2020 fair had a huge number of people participating in the 2020 fair, compared to the 2017 fair which didn't see many active participants and thus there are way less collectibles remaining from it (like the fresh, rad, sweet, and final boss feathers). and ofc there are a lot of people who aren't super active but do pop back on for raffles and events, as you suspected.

it is interesting to note, though, that people started leaving this place pretty quickly after New Horizon's release (about 2-3 years) compared to New Leaf (about 4-5 years). I remember the market for buying/selling in game stuff was still pretty strong in early 2017.
Still, even when I joined in 2017, there was a lot more conversation going on in the NL sub. I remember adding to many discussions when I simply just registered to trade some furniture for my design ideas in NL. I feel like part of this is also because NH had a slow update feed, that Nintendo stopped support so early and what felt abruptly, and overall there's not a lot of content in NH besides being a design sim. So it is a tad bit superficial even if a QoL overhaul. I enjoyed it, but I wanted more out of it. And a lot of old fans shared that sentiment and moved on before the game even got the 2.0 update. I think this also aided in the decline.

I just hope in late 2020 when the next AC comes out that Nintendo makes a definitive edition to what AC should be and borrow from all the elements that worked with all the previous entries including NH.
 
I already finished getting all the 3DS and Wii U games I could possibly want a long time ago but it still makes me very sad the E-shops for those systems are gonna be gone forever and ever, I will always love my 3DS and my Wii U more than my Switch 😢
It's truly sad especially since there are some games on there that are exclusive to the eshop and can't be bought anywhere else. Also, it may not sound important to you, but even you can't buy the themes for the 3ds anymore.
 
I really need to revamp my art shop and its offerings/pricing. I think it's pretty good for the most part but there are a few things I think can be tweaked about it.


edit: also I really want to return to this art piece I started a while ago, with Link and Epona finding a Keaton in the woods, but I've literally never drawn link before besides this little dumb doodle I did years ago so it's kinda intimidating kshskdhdk
 
well r.i.p 3ds eshop 😔

I was looking at pictures of cats from my local shelter, and now I want them all.
That's usually what happens if I check out places like that or at pet-stores with pets who need to be adopted. It's obviously not feasible though lol. I did rescue two kittens that were stuck in the wall of the farm last year and I kept one of them. I would've loved to have taken both in, but it wasn't possible at the time.
 
I was going through my old (locked) Tumblr account and saw this.

Now I'm wondering what I have done to say this. I know I don't steal from others or run through flowers...
