Random thoughts thread. (New Horizons)

I know! A lot of my favorite villagers are more on the unpopular side. Moe & Marcel specifically comes to mind. From what I saw in another forum I was in, the entire forum disliked them.
There's also S.J.'s birthday twin himself, Pierce. I don't see much hate for him anywhere, but I haven't found that many Pierce fans either. But I adore him. You should've seen me a few months before I joined; I was pretty much obsessed with him.
haha sometimes there is such a freedom in liking "unpopular" villagers, isn't there?

pierce is fun :))))

I posted a list of “Banned” Villagers on my Bulletin Board. Among them are Blanche, Wart Jr, Beardo, and Goose.

🤭😂 cute !

okay but why aren't blanche and bearso more popular !

chickens get such a bad rap in the game but they're actually really well designed imho
 
OMG I love both Blanche and Goose, sorry they offended you :( and I agree wholeheartedly that the chickens have great designs (but I am biased bc I love birb). I will 5ever lament them sticking to the hard 10 villagers rule instead of going back to GC's 15, because there's just too many good avian villagers. D:
 
I've started playing NH more and I still really don't care for how long it takes to load up to your island. Feels way longer than any of the other games or any game for the Switch.
idk, I think ALL switch game load times are ridiculously slow. I played DDLV for several months on Switch and then bought it on Steam and was amazed at how much faster it was on Steam (not the deck) I mean aspects where I had to wait for each item to spawn, etc. was instant. That is such a huge relief. I hate waiting for load times.

Maybe there are some out there that load just as bad as NH, but whenever I switch from that game to another one of mine it's like night and day. And if I don't have internet or lose it somehow it takes the game forever to load. It's insane. Sometimes I just give up.
 
I wish there was another way to get the pillars in HHP.

I'm currently working on getting them for my two new characters and I forgot how incredibly slow it is to get them (while not rushing).

I don't care either, but I find it strange that the game loads slower when I'm not connected to the internet. Like, why is there a loading prompt to check my mailbox when I'm not online? So weird.

It's definitely a multi-day process if you don't time travel. But as everyone knows, it's Nintendo's way of wanting you to play the game more often!!!




Here's my random thought:

Coco and Lloid were thought to have been the only living gyroids left until 2.0 came along. Think about that.

After thinking about it for far too long I bought some more Amiibo cards but specific ones I got

  • Fuchsia (so I can have another Sisterly option besides Diva)
  • Timmy
  • Tommy
  • Label
  • Sable
  • Mabel
The shipping, by the way, cost more than the cards themselves.

I'm not trying to get all the cards, that will cost entirely too much money and take entirely too much time. But I will buy the cards individually focusing on villagers and NPCs I actually want instead of leaving it up to chance by buying the packs.

That's what I did to get the villagers that are in my NL town. Just in case they ever randomly move away I can bring them back in.
 
No matter how many times I restart I always find a way to enjoy the game again with a new island layout. Trying out different ideas is so interesting. Since I have 2 copies of the game and 2 switches. It just gives me so much more freedom.
 
i was listening to I Want It That Way and i thought of the world’s dumbest joke…

when your cake is messed up, but you know you microwaved the butter the perfect amount: ain’t no thin butter mistake

For how much I like Punchy, I never really seem to give him much attention. Maybe I should change that.
 
Villager line up for Rainbow. Each villager represents a color and since rainbows (usually) only have 7 colors I had to improvise the last three and went with black, white and pink.

Peppy Apple (Hamster) - Red
Lazy Biskit (Dog) - Orange
Snooty Eloise (Elephant) -Yellow
Smug Henry (Frog) - Green
Jock Kody (Cub) - Blue
Cranky Del (Alligator) - Indigo
Sisterly Muffy (Sheep) - Violet
Lazy Cole (Rabbit) -Black
Peppy Tutu (Bear) -White
Normal Chelsea (Deer) - Pink

Tried to also have a mix of different species. Unfortunately I only have 4 of the above villagers' Amiibos so either I get a lot of NMT or get the villagers directly on here.

3 yrs later and I still feel overwhelmed with the terraforming. 🙄

I think part of it is, it's best to have it at the back of the island because of how the camera is, but if you build there you can block the view of the tiny islands in the horizon and the secret beach. Plus when it is about to storm, I like seeing the waves splash on the rocks.

Also, no matter the map, it is still a square.

I could trash my file and start new and make the rule of no terraforming and waterscaping is allowed but again, it is so darn hard to find a map that doesn't block the secret beach. Also, most of the time, the top cliffs are so narrow on default maps that you can't put a house there unless you terraform it to fix that issue.

Maybe I should just flatten the darn thing :/


Anyone relate?/ Help?
 
I accidently got sent Azalea's card on accident. XD

When I bought the Amiibo Cards I listed above, the orders got broken into two:
Fuchsia, Timmy, Tommy, Sable, Mabel all came together and arrived yesterday. And Label's card is arriving sometime next week.

Well I opened the cards up, they were all there and correct except I had accidently got sent an extra free card which was Azalea. Kind of surprised. I'm going to have to contact the seller to notify them. Hopefully they won't care and let me keep it, but for my conscience, I have to at least make them aware. That's hilarious though. XD

Edit: The seller told me it was intentional. Okay then. That was nice of them.

I remember some sellers on eBay throwing in random cards if you bought a certain amount. That really helped me when I first starting collecting them.

As I since completed series 1-4 and are now trying to finish the RV cards, things are becoming a little bit more difficult budget-wise. I did find Tasha's amiibo when I visited a local game store this week (I didn't have it originally), so of course I had to get her.

I have quite a few duplicate cards from opening packs, so maybe I can trade with someone in the other forum.

Hmm, didn't know that.

While I was at it, I went ahead and got Niko, Sasha and Ione's cards from that same seller.
 
imo kid cat is underrated (most of the tier lists i saw listed it as B or A) i honestly think that he deserves an S (its ok if u guys disagree tho everyone has their own ideas)
