Yes that's what happens to me, I also thought I was doing some kind of gesture but couldn't replicate it. I think it's more likely a glitch but haven't heard about it from anyone else.

When I terraform for too long I get close to tears every time my character adds a block instead of removing it
I almost took a break from the game after that but then came back like I always do lol

This so much. Everyone seems to find it so cute but I just hear pitchy squeaking. I think it's half the reason I'm looking to boot Marina off my island, just be quiet.
Made worse from when I had to buy 120+ shrubs from Leif, 5 at a time, while she shrieks out KK Rally the entire time. Let me tell you, that song is grating, and she was not nailing those high notes.

I don't know why this is bothering me so much lately, but it is, so I'll rant about it here.
WHY does the game take so long to load up to the title screen when you're booting up the game? This is not a disc-based game! Whether your game is physical or digital copy, it's on flash memory. Flash memory is super fast to load up. I just don't understand from a technical standpoint why it's so darn slow.
It makes me feel like we're back in PS1 days with slow loading time.

Oh, I've heard how bad it gets; If a female villager sings Welcome Horizons (and certain other songs), for some reason, they sing it one octave too high, producing pretty painful notes at times. I think they sound fine on certain other songs, like K.K. Rockabilly and (weird portamento glitch or whatever aside,) Bubblegum K.K., but yeah, I'm kinda with you on this. To me, it's weird how synthesized the singing sounds. I'm used to it with K.K. (sorta) but not completely with the girl villagers.
Here's how bad Welcome Horizons sounds (not the song itself, which sounds good even if the game overplays its melody everywhere):
While we're talking about villagers singing, does anyone else find the song they sing when no music is playing a bit...weird? The way it sounds when a girl randomly starts singing it...it's hard to describe, but I think it somehow creeps me out a bit. Part of it's probably the way their singing sounds, and the other reason's because it can come out of nowhere, weird-sounding synthy notes with no backing...

Yikes, yeah that sounds really really bad. Maybe they shifted it up an octave in some misguided attempt to make it sound more feminine?
I don't dislike Marina otherwise but now that I've got her photo I just hit her until she sulks off whenever she starts screeching one out, to buy myself a minute's peace. Just can't deal with it. It also sucks as I feel pressured into avoiding villagers with music hobby in the future which includes a few I'd really like to try having around.
Yeah the default song with no music is weird, almost sounds like they're making it up as they go along, sounds a bit flat too.
So a lot of comments here are talking about how the female singing is weird
not much of a rant but I see the problem for Welcome Horizons but for the other songs not really?
this is coming from someone who can't hear the difference between a peppy and snooty's singing voices

I haven’t read up on everything to do with ACNH, so, when I started decorating my house a little last night and today and find out that the rooms are smaller than what they were in NL, I was and still am immensely disappointed. I really would’ve liked the amount of expansion options that we got in HHD since I am trying to replicate some of my creations, but it’s impossible with less room as well as with the current furniture catalogue. :/

My rant is... LET US KICK THE FOOTBALLS AROUND!
I actually wouldn't mind breakable tools... if it happened in real life. Never in my life have I damaged a watering can, let alone had a metal one disintegrate. If the game is going to deviate from reality, why do it for the worse? Who's the audience?
Not to mention the time it takes to enter another (tiny) room and when it clocks over to the next day
I was right in the middle of terraforming a giant cliff and then suddenly I had to stare at a black screen for what felt like an hour haha
The bug off furniture was as uninspiring as I thought it would be. I like the spiderweb, but the bug toys (which I thought would be cool wooden or plastic solid toys) are just flat imprints that act more like a qr path/code than a real piece of furniture.
It reminds me of the sandbox from NL where it literally could had been accomplished with some qr path placements and looked 10x better.

It sounds silly but Marina actually scared me the first few days of playing because I didn't know they sang. So one night I was running around and I hear this weird high pitched noise near the river. It was her. Just standing there. By herself. In the dark. I don't mind them now, though.
Honestly my biggest frustration with the game is probably the lack of QOL adjustments. I don't remember being this annoyed in New Leaf, probably because the 3DS stylus alleviated so many things. Excessive confirmation prompts also annoy me, especially the ones at the airport.
Now that you mention it, probably, yeah. I remember tweeting it sounded like some ghost child's song in a horror film. It definitely wasn't any of the ones I usually listen to or recognise.
Why are the houses not bigger this time round? Why can’t we have 6 massive rooms instead of 2? There’s so much I wanna do with so little room
... also we need a catalogue expansion, both furniture and wallpaper/flooring..
Maybe I’m just waaaay too picky I just feel that it’s missing a lot of things...
Why can’t I get in my outdoor pool? Or on my teacup ride? More things should be interactive and I REAAALLLY think they should’ve added more fairground themed stuff like a Ferris wheel etc, it would be SO CUTE

Animal Crossing never really made it where you could interact with furniture or pwps properly. They all felt like props and less like real pieces. All just for show. I would love to be able to see a villager hop into a bathtub, submerge into the water, with a little dishcloth on top of their head, but with the way this game is already looking for the easiest solutions I can't see them putting that much effort into something like that.
the villagers are much more interactive with items in pocket camp :C
plus pocket camp has so much good furniture and items damn. though i kinda understand that it's easier for PC to have those compared to NH bc it's a mobile game, and the items really need to be carefully rendered in NH
