That's because NL gave us decent, usable items and furniture.
I get frustrated when people incessantly gush over crappy items.

I hate that I have no where to store my flowers. I dont want to breed them over again. I want to switch out certain colors but I have no where to put them. I dont want them on my beach. I dont want any of them around when it snows. It just doesn't look right. There's snow everywhere and there's perfectly healthy flowers just popping out of it.

Right now, I'm really not digging how seasonal DIYs are balloon-exclusive. It's hitting me a little harder because there are more fall DIYs to collect and it gets tedious to farm balloons after a while. Not every balloon contains a DIY and even if you do manage to shoot a DIY balloon down, there's still the potential for repeats to drop before you got all of them (that has happened to me at least 3 times already and I'm still missing 4 mushroom DIYs)
I wish Tortimer's island came back already ;^;
I miss the multiplayer minigames.....
And where are exotic fruits??

If your goal is to collect the DIYs, you can just skip the event and unlock the entire DIY collection from the cabinet in Nook's Cranny.
I hate it. I don't have the time to do it because of my work hours. The season and covid don't mix well and it makes for even harder work loads then it normally is this time of the year. I've just accepted that I will have to trade for them.

I had restarted my island and for whatever reason, the game is refusing to let me have terraforming. I've done everything Isabelle had asked of me and still the game is stuck at 2 star. Such an annoying feature to unlock. In the past, I was able to put stuff outside, plant a few flowers and bam I have terraforming but this time around it seems like it's going out of it's way to keep me from having it.
I don't know why it's choosing to do this now but I'm not spending money building inclines and bridges that I know I'm not going to keep because you can't just move bridges and inclines, you HAVE to tear them down than spend money building them again and those bridges and inclines aren't cheap. For a game that prides itself on being a relaxing life sim, it sure does seem to go out of it's way to annoy the crap out of it's players. If it continues to lock me out of terraforming for no reason, then I'll simply stop playing. My energy could be spent on other games.

I decided today was the day I finally tried to make a rock formation and I'm deeply regretting it lol. I keep thinking ok THIS time I have all the empty spaces blocked off, then I break a rock, TT, and have to run around looking for what impossible little corner it spawned into instead of going where I want it to go. On this last rock I ran all over my island and couldn't find it, I was starting to think it disappeared when I glimpsed something in one of my flower patches...
I forgot I had taken a single flower out of it several days ago -______-'
edit: My island is now a lagging, nightmarish Hellscape of mannequins. After a few hours of rocks choosing to spawn in the cracks of the floorboards, I finally got ONE to go in the area I arranged..
Pls say the rest are just a matter of TT now.

I didn't realize the lack of option to discard sea creatures while you're swimming was annoying until I replayed Turkey Day and was looking for a scallop and a dungeness crab.
I've read plenty of rants about it before, but now I actually get it.

Aww man that's rough!
Hopefully you can collect them all with trades, wish you luck!
I wouldn't say I get angry/frustrated. Turkey day really did stay true to Harvest day for the most part and I liked it. But other then the Turkey Day update we only got a handful of emotions that the villagers had from day 1. So to me that was less excitement and more like a 'finally' moment. I already bought the emotions/hair and got my use out of them. I mean there's really not a lot of mileage to that.
But the thing I didn't care for in Turkey Day was that the furniture set was cut in half. It looks different than NL's Harvest Day set, which is probably for the best because it had turkey legs for stands and it looked like you just cut off a poor bird's foot to make your furniture.
But take this image for instance. It's NL's Harvest furniture set. You get 11 different pieces.
You get 12 in Turkey Day, but it's a lot of filler.

I’ve come to terms that my feral forest is forever stuck at 4 stars. That flavor text fits the theme I’m going for, at least!Isabelle keeps missing her TV program because she's getting lost in the "woods". So she refuses to let you have 5-star until you cut down your trees and dig up your shrubs
Like many others I am not a fan of seasonal DIYs only being found in balloons. It’s frustrating and I just don’t see why that’s the only way they’ve decided to give out seasonal DIYs.
I am also grumpy with how online dependent this Animal Crossing game is. I decided to buy an online membership and it’s crazy how much that improves the game. I needed the free trial for online just to get all the fruits for my town which is ridiculous. I also hate how they’ve colour blocked furniture items. It’s such a silly and unfair mechanic, definitely feels like they’re punishing players who can’t afford to play online with that mechanic. Animal Crossing is a largely social game, sure, but that doesn’t mean there should be items restricted for those who can’t or don’t want to play online.
I also want to complain about the RNG in this game. I want cute fall/winter clothes from the Able Sisters! Last week they were selling the full cowboy outfit for three or four days in a row and this week it’s the pilot outfit. I don’t get it. There’s a lot of different clothes in this game so why does it insist on showing me the same four pieces for a week at a time? T_T If I didn’t want the pilots outfit for the past four days I don’t want it today either, Mabel.

Able Sisters has the mannequins, where the set shown is sold throughout the week. I know that the cowboy and aviator outfits are part of that system.
It’s an interesting premise with poor execution. I feel like it should be every three days or something like that. Also take some of the costumes out of circulation; who needs to see that weird duck costume for an entire week?
Oh my goodness that makes so much sense now, thank you!! I thought they were just really digging those outfit sets recently but knowing that it’s a week by week thing for everybody makes me feel a bit better. I still don’t like the mechanic though, like you said they should switch out every two or three days!
I liked how the Halloween event handled its DIYs; you could get them from villagers over the course of the month, and you could buy candy or get it from villagers to buy the ones you'd missed on the 31st. the balloon thing is a cute idea in theory but I feel like it encourages the player to sit on one end of their island trying to grind that 15% (if I'm not mistaken) chance of getting a seasonal DIY, which is just not fun or engaging gameplay. heck, people memed a lot about the Bunny Day balloons, but in retrospect that would've been better for seasonal recipes, since balloons are the only source.
I ended up buying like half of the mushroom set DIYs from other players because I just couldn't be bothered. I guess maybe that's the point, to encourage you to trade with other players, but I dunno, it just doesn't feel as good.
Which is weird, because people defend Nintendo's choice to have one island per system because Japan is heavily family oriented. But that means it blocks off their access to a lot of the game unless they go online. So that's not really focusing on the family part. Nintendo was very anti-online a few years back. Take Miiverse for instance. It was supposed to be a community to bring fans of the games close together, but there was no way for anyone to actually befriend or set up a way to play the same game together. (Unless you had esp) because Nintendo pretty much banhammered anyone when they caught wind of someone wanting to play the game together. Conversations setting up a meet up were just nuked and get enough of them and you got soft-banned for about two weeks or more.
Honestly the whole 1 island/1 system still doesn't sit right with me. If they tried, they really could had found a way to have one system be able to hold 1 island and more. I am sure people would gladly pay the game's full price again to make another island instead of the price of a full system. Like an official external memory card that they manufacture just for Animal Crossing.
It just all boils down to money. They're getting thirsty for more money.
