Random thoughts thread. (New Horizons)

“How do people play on these islands?” Me while touring Dream addresses of really beautifully made islands. They’re super cool but I can barely walk ten steps without the frame rates dropping so I wonder how they’re able to play on them.

Does anyone else kinda just make up names for their villagers? Like, surnames or 'full' names.
I dunno. Some of their names sound so unusual, you can't help but wonder if they're just nicknames.
Tom Nook and the Able sisters have last names, so they're definitely a thing in the AC universe.

I wondered how life would be like if we all went by cheeky little mononyms too.
...Then I realized we do that already. We just call them usernames.
...
Anyway, here's a list of some names I've headcanoned for some villagers.

Katt - Katherine Felini (I also headcanon her as hating her full name)
Dobie - Ken Dobson
Dom - Dominic Ewey
Muffy - Madeline Hayward
Vivian - Vivian Wolfe
Francine - Francine Rabe
Chrissy - Christen Rabe
Nan - Nanette Phillip
Hippeux - Gary (thanks, Pocket Camp)
and,
Bluebear - Blue Bear (Yeah. I know. In my defense, I always imagined that she was so peppy that upon meeting you she'd blurt out her full name so fast that it became one word).

Please tell me I'm not the only one who does something like this.

I dont give them names but I got lots of nicknames for tybalt like Mister tibs and The tibster

I don’t do this, but it is creative if I’m being honest. I just call them by their actual names because I’m boring.

@Crowsie I like how everyone has a full name and then there's just Gary.

Thanks for reminding of Ewan Dobson, one of the most entertaining guys who ever played a guitar on youtube

I reset my island last night

I put well over 1000 hours into it.
Had nearly every stamp
All my favourite villagers
A completed museum
A complete catalogue
Designed it just how I liked it

And now that it's gone I feel nothing but... relief

I've been wanting a change for a while now, but with so much achieved, I wasn't prepared to let go.

But now I have an island that I'm happy with.
Probably. As I said, I reset last night. The island is barely touched.

I no longer have the issues that I would never have been able to change before such as an ugly yellow airport. Its now orange and beautiful.

I've been so unwilling to let go for so long.
And now that I have... it feels great.
I'm free to do whatever with my island now

I really hope my new island works out for me.

I started a second island and decided to play in English since I usually play in Japanese. I thought maybe everyone's complaints about lazy villagers were hyperbole, but wow, they really went hard on the bug thing, huh? I wonder why? It was interesting to see how the same villagers' dialogue differed between languages, though I think I might prefer Japanese.

Is Sasha going to be the new Raymond? I honestly love Sasha. I don’t mind personally, but something tells me we will see a lot of him.

I wish there was a website that created flower pairings. So you could select a flower and it'd help you create a nice color scheme for a garden. As much as I love doing it manually, sometimes I wish I had a drag-and-drop list so I could pick and see the slight variations in color between the different flowers.

100% a lot of people seem to love him haha I’m sure people are gonna be frantic to get his (and shinos?) card

Probably. I would even say, the "Sasha Mania" will be crazier than Raymond's or Marshal's.

I think Sasha is definitely going to be popular, but I think part of the Raymond hype was predicated on scarcity/not having an amiibo. I'm not sure we'll see another situation quite like that until next game or whenever they release new villagers without amiibos.

their names all sound so formal. the closest thing i do to this is calling tom nook "thomas nookington" bc it was on a meme

Sometimes I look at the site’s ABD expecting to find bells there. Even though I have never deposited anything lol

LMAO same. sometimes when i’m really tbt broke, i’ll check to see if i maybe randomly deposited some bells in there at one point and ‘forgot’ about it, knowing damn well i’ve never once used that function since joining.

 

[Violet Witch]

I'm determined to use this weekend to rebuild my island and make it look aesthetically pleasing not just for myself but for others too. I'm tired of my "that'll do" attitude when it comes to terraforming and decorating in general.

 

[Licorice]

I’m struggling to pick between these villagers. Anchovy, Tad, or Maggie??????

That’s me all the time
