The ACNH Rant Thread

[HappyTails]

Okay I guess I'm just not allowed to have the imperial fencing since the DIY isn't showing up in my Nook Station and hasn't shown up once since I unlocked fencing over 2 weeks ago. Oh but don't worry, the fencing I DON'T want show up plenty.

I know that feeling with timmy and tommy, it is always the same items over and over in the shop and still lacking some furniture that i could find on my island, the rng hates me i think

Oh, man. I must be a minority in thinking the 5pm song is one of the only few songs worth listening to. I don't know what it is, but it reminds me of the 90s, which is nostalgic to me.

Haha! I can definitely see why people like it, but I'd rather have something softer. It does sound 90s-esque, though!

5PM is one of my favorite hourly themes along with 9AM and 3AM. ^^

Anyway, for my rant...Right as I was going into the museum, I saw a Raja Brooke's Birdwing, so I walked back out and it was nowhere to be found. Arrrughhh!

Just used 84 NMTs and only saw one cat. I'm almost at 400 NMTs spent trying to find any of Kiki, Lolly, and/or Punchy.

I've logged in every single day since I've had the game in March. I feel like I'm only playing to earn nook miles for villager searching. I'm starting to feel like I'm having less fun. Saving nook miles for 2-3 months at a time before I let someone move out. And the buildup to the search has become less exciting.

I think NMTs should cost less nook miles, or you should be able to buy them with bells. Some other way to earn them.

Or even trading in x amount of tickets for a specific species ticket.

I'm not giving up on the search yet, but each time it just leaves me a little bit more sad.

Bam was making the same DIY that washed up on my beach this morning the game could really do with a better RNG system.

I really wish that when campers showed up we could choose who moves out to make room. It’s already a headache playing their games & pushing through dialogue to try and get them to move in - then to have them offer to move out your favourite villager? Super frustrating. I had a villager offer to kick Whitney out three times and Lolly twice before finally suggesting Beau. It’s really frustrating.

Why is the Renaissance Dress so short? I'm not sure if it's historically accurate but it doesn't look good.

i agree that it does seem a little bit shorter than what i would have assumed.

"Typical Renaissance gowns covered the wearer from waist to feet, and were so long she was forced to carry her skirts to walk unhindered."

1. the villager dialogue is SO boring. it has none of the charm of the older games
2. the music is so mediocre in comparison to other games

The Cycle of ACNH

1) Work on my island a lot! Feel good about it.
2) Look at other islands on social media. Immediately feel like crap about mine.
3) Quit playing for a month.

Repeat

Agreed. I gifted my villagers and got back a floor and wallpaper that I'd just seen in the Nook store.

I don't like how tall the knit caps are. They look like you just propped it up on your head but didn't pull it down. They make my character look like a gnome or something!

Complaints? Here goes:
-Peaches and Cube exist. WHY ARE THEIR EYES X SHAPED IT LOOKS SO UGLY ON THEM IT LOOKS WAY BETTER ON STITCHES
-And speaking of villagers, Nintendo has made some other...interesting design choices. Why did they have to give Biskit those eerie soulless eyes? And his ears don't even match his body! Ribbot is cool, but INSANELY creepy. The way his mouth opens up gives me nightmares. And why do his eyes have pupils during some reactions, but otherwise don't? Also, Rodeo's eyeballs are tiny red dots, which is just creepy. And, going back to Ribbot, his evil robot twin Sprocket is less creepy than him, but the way his head and body don't match is ugly. And Del has HOLES in the side of his HEAD. Also, don't let Eugene take his sunglasses off. And the way Dotty's eyes turn RED during some reactions is creepy, just like how Roscoe's eye whites turn yellow. CREEPY! And also, Clyde has minus signs for eyes, making him up in my list of top ten worst designed villagers. Why does Diva have an egyptian-themed house that doesn't go with her aesthetic at all? And Jambette's LIPS...yikes. Why does any villager have HUGE LIPS? And lipstick on a villager...just no. Also, hair on villagers...also no, in most cases. While Soleil and Hazel look awesome with hair, Rhonda does not. And Barold...oh, boy. What is WRONG with this bear cub? He has a BEARD and UGLY LIPS and are those GLASSES or are they his EYES. And the tiger shirt does NOT match him. And he STALKS everyone's HOUSE because his is filled with SECURITY CAMERAS. And the whole thing with bear cubs is kinda creepy. They are KIDS but they OWN HOUSES? And there is even a cranky bear cub or two, who act OLD. And there are a whole lot more...
-Lazy villagers. They act like kids. They own houses? Why. Couldn't you just, like make them act more grown up even though they're lazy? Because it's a bit weird to see a BABY OCTOPUS with his own house, which is made to look like a SUSHI SHOP. How does a KID own a SUSHI SHOP? If octopi had fingers, Zucker would definitely cut them while chopping up stuff. (I like to imagine he makes vegetarian sushi so that he doesn't chop up other octopi to make takoyaki.)
-Also, why are there catchable octopi and frogs while there are octopus and frog villagers? Why is there a dog house when several dogs have their own houses? Why is there a birb cage when there are several species of birds? Why is there a hamster cage? Very sorry Flurry, but you go in the cage now.
-Going back to my rant on lazy personalities, why can only certain genders have certain personalities? Is Nintendo saying that girls can't have muscles? Because that's what it seems like they're saying.
-Also, why are the only genders for villagers boy and girl? If Nintendo made gay characters, why can't they make non-binary ones?
-"I think I can smell the snow! Or maybe my nose is just frozen." What nose, Marina?
-Renee talked about eating/cooking fish on Turkey Day. So did Reneigh, Rocco, Tank, and Bubbles. What's wrong with this? Oh, maybe the fact that they're all HERBIVORES. Why did you even have to program that in the game, Nintendo? Can't you just, like, make the herbivores not talk about eating fish? And the game counts frogs as fish. If you give a lazy villager a fish, they talk about eating it. There are some lazy frogs, like Raddle. So if you give a frog to a frog...Yeah. Nintendo programmed cannibalism into a game that was supposed to be child-friendly.

That's it for my rant (for now)! If you agree/disagree with anything on here, feel free to argue with me about it!

 

[Galaxite]

I still want to eat stuff like the villagers do and also dance. I'm still salty villagers don't have a lot of dialogue and get annoyed if you talk to them too much. Feels like you're only allowed to talk to them once per day. Still salty that we don't have minigames to play with friends. Where the heck is Brewster at?? Like come on already Nintendo! Also ngl I hate having to find DIY Recipes in balloons because RNG always hates me in every single game I play. I really want to be able to cook stuff for villagers and it felt like the thanksgiving event was like a mini version of it but I want more of that and I have no clue if we will ever be able to.

Bruh... It's a cartoon

IIRC, as far as the English translations go in New Horizons, Villagers no longer have genders. Same goes for the players.
Also, this isn't a dating game. Villagers are neither straight nor gay. But if you must know, Gracie is suppose to be a gay guy, if I'm not mistaken.

I meant the non-human ones. And, um, Flick and CJ?

with the English translations, all pronouns seem to have been moved to "Theirs/Them".
CJ and Flick being a couple was fan fiction based on a misinterpretation of the world "partner". But like so, you are free to create you own fan fiction and backstories for anyone in the game.

EDIT: Villagers use to have colored names for gender. Blue = Male, Pink = Female. This is no longer a thing

 

[Silkfawn]

One of the absolute worse parts about this game is fish bait!

Are you seriously telling me I have to dig up clams, one by one, then craft the fish bait, also one by one?
How time wasteful is that ??

I hate how you can't buy it from Nooks, and the only other way to get it is through Nookazon and it costs an arm and a leg over there.

I just want to catch the Stringfish.....is that too much to ask for?

 

[Shawna]

So, last night, I had bought a fake painting on purpose, so I could get the "Faked Out!" Nook Miles.
I also learned that there are "True Patron Of The Arts" Nook Miles as well (which fake paintings do count towards it, THANK GOD), so even though I completed the art section of the museum and got the "Faked Out!" Nook Miles, I am gonna be shopping at Redd's for a while to get all the "True Patron Of The Arts" Nook Miles.

The problem is....there is no way to get rid of fake paintings, Nooklings cannot take them of your hands, and I don't have any trash can like furniture or DIY recipes. -_-
