The ACNH Rant Thread

It's March 31st in my game and I have used over 100 fish bait trying to find even one stringfish. Right now I am actually procrastinating on trying to continue the search.
 
I was farming Celeste last night and most of the recipes she gave me were wands ><. I now think I really hate wands even though I use one all the time lol ><. I really wish they’d let me place it on a surface for decoration (i know you can drop it but it doesn’t show the wand’s design).
 
I think I give up on my last hybrids...the blue roses at least. I can just about get my head around the purple windflowers and green mums since there aren't so many genotypes/possibilities but I've restarted my rose areas twice now, I'm out of seeds again (and they're not in season to buy), I've had to abandon all my purples, oranges, and 99%-but-not-100%-sure-they're-hybrid reds, I started trying to write out all the combinations of purple and orange that can make the 1-1-1-0 gene reds, but that doesn't even help me if I don't know exactly which of the 9 possible purple and which of the 9 possible orange I have. I don't have space for that many fields anymore and I'm not prepared to trash my island to try, especially when the chance to get blues from them is a measly 1.5%. The topper was that I picked up two red plants I *know* were seed reds, so I knew what genetics they were...except I forgot to check my inventory before, and I already had two in there and had just replanted some whites, so I ended up having to throw them out too because I didn't know which was which. (Honestly they might have all been ok but I'd erased and overwritten where they came from in my notebook since I was replanting, and I'm just confused and not great at remember things at the moment.) I'm so angry at myself I almost want to cry. I'm just buying some with Nook Tickets now but it means I've failed in my goal to breed all the hybrids from scratch. Is there an achievement for that that I've missed out on now?

I might keep trying with just a couple pairs (2 white to make purple, 1 red x 1 yellow to make orange, etc) but it's just not fun anymore. Not today, anyway. It's just taken the wind out of my sails and left me feeling like a fool and a failure. To think I was the best in the class at Punnett squares all those years ago in school, I could do them faster than the biology teacher even!

And I agree, enough with the wands, Celeste! They're great but I really want the starry furniture DIYs and I've had so bloody few. ><
 
I completely flipped my island upside down. I had already decorated the top half and bottom half but I thought they might look better reversed. Anyways after flipping everything , I ran into a problem with the top part, where the top part to redds wouldn’t connect (and that was my best area before).

I was able to fix that....however now I noticed that the bottom part looks weird on the Mini map. I completely terraformed that part and I got my two south exits to a point that I like. I was already contemplating restarting because of those exits that I didn’t have trouble with before. Now it all looks ok.....but this tiny little part doesn’t connect with the whole island.


I’m just sitting here staring at my map for hours thinking about how I can get it to all connect and be ok with it. I keep starting the game and I just stare at the map because I have no clue what to do.

You can actually place wands though??
At least I know you can inside as I have the lil harry potter lookin' Wand on display in one of my houses!

Nice! :) It is placed on the ground when I click on the option; my bad, I should’ve mentioned that and that I wanted it lying flat on the stall. I improvised by just dropping it on the stall; the dropped appearance is a star on a stick (would be nice if the dropped item appearance changed according to the type of wand). I was planning on making a stand of different wands at one point for my market, but I didn’t want them on display on the ground.
 
Not much related to the game itself, but whenever I google things with "acnh" in front and every time it asks me if I mean "acnl"

Google, it's been 5 years since I last played New Leaf, please accept that the abbreviations refer to two different things, oof
 
Not sure where to post this query:

With the "Business Section" gone where can I post something telling ppl i want to help them pay off bridges and inclines?
 
I never thought I'd say this, because I don't care that much about an island name, but I'VE SUDDENLY THOUGHT OF A WHOLE THEME TO MY ISLAND AND WANT TO NAME MY ISLAND AFTER SOMETHING BUT NOW I CAN'T AGHHHH
I’m in the exact same situation-
like my current island name doesn’t match my new theme 😭
 
Anyone remember how in New Leaf, there was a "save and continue" option?

...

Just because we have autosave now, doesn't mean we wouldn't benefit from a "save and continue," Nintendo! Especially with how long it can take for the screens just to load once you save and quit... 😭
 
I really want an option to select multiple letters in the mail to delete... I have 300 letters again for I don't know how many times now but everytime it's A, — , up, A.. over and over again for 300 times.

And why are the items you order with the nook mile program not the same as the other items you order. With the NM-program you get a letter you have to delete while with the other order you get a box which you take out of the mailbox and don't take any space at all.
 
I was about to catch an atlas moth and then Yuka runs up to it with her net, tries to catch it and it flies away! OMG.
Oh god! That reminds me. -.-

Back in the beginning of July, I was able to catch a bug I haven't caught yet, then Astrid tries to catch it -.-

It was a tree stump bug, but it wasn't a longhorn beetle, a violin beetle, or a jewel beetle. I forgot what it was called.

I am glad Nintendo wants to make the villagers more lively, but but this part wasn't thought through.

. . .

I still love you Astrid, but that was low.

I wish flowers would die
I disagree (unless ordinances came back as well). Believe me, managing them were a nightmare in WW and in CF.

I don't like how shiny the leaves on the bushes are, they look like they're always wet or dewy. It's a really weird texture and it stands out against the grass and flowers that I've planted nearby. And especially at nighttime they're kind of an eyesore because the moon is already so bright. It's just too much visually. I just want my dark nights and my non-dewy bushes back please.
 
I wish each item didn't exist within a rectangular box, it's the reason why we can put items on top of the wooden wardrobe but not the cute wardrobe. The cute wardrobe has that decorative thing coming out the front which blocks all access to the top 😑

Also why the items that are wide at the top but thin at the bottom are such a pain.
