The ACNH Rant Thread

I really really dislike my joycon drift while trying to play animal crossing it's so irritating. Just stay still dang it!
 
Day 16 of the DIY for the Imperial Fencing to NOT show up in my Nook Catalog. Over 2 weeks since I unlocked fencing and that recipe hasn't shown up ONCE.

I'm not going to use fencing then. I mean, the one fencing I actually want, I'm being denied access too. So I decided not to do fencing at all. Have it your way game. Someone offered to give me the DIY but it's difficult because we keep logging on at different times.

If i find it on my catalog, I'll get it for you
 
this really bothered me, honestly; the last time i had my island open for people to shop / go through all the extra diys i had, i had said people could tour around if they wanted but not to expect to see much, as my island is still heavily a wip. but the first thing i asked was that no one picked or ran through my flowers. very first thing that happened? all of my hybrid flowers i was trying to grow were picked. my blues, oranges, blacks, etc. and then none of them were watered before the flower-picker departed from my island.

i haven't opened my island up unless it's been to specific people since then because i just.. don't know if i can trust it. it really puts a damper on trying to be generous when it's shoveled back in your face.

Yeah! I get it. If it was a completely random person then I would be more annoyed. But, I'm in a group full of ACNH newbies who don't interact with the community much at all. So, I don't blame them for not knowing etiquette. So, the next time they are over, I'll just teach them.

But with a completely random person, it is much more annoying. Especially since they are probably from some sort of community and should know proper etiquette already.
 
Winter looks so beautiful in the game compared to autumn. Autumn was cheated. It's such a beautiful season in real life. I wish the game creators would improve the color palette for autumn by next year and make the colors less muddy.
 
Winter has ruined the game for me.

Ocular migraines and I literally threw up from pain and eye spasms.

It's vile.
White everwhere, I can't see or think properly.
It's like a blender in my eyes. :(
Utterly revolting. :(

It has always been the reason I've deleted past AC towns since 2005, and now with NH, I am on the verge of deleting my game again, because of the hideous, sickening, unnatural snow.

I can't play like this!
Ill over it. :(

Dang, you've probably tried this already but maybe turning the brightness all the way down can help? Not much else you can do unfortunately. I do like how the snow looks but I guess I can see how it could be overwhelming to some. I guess it's inevitable in a game with seasons :/

Maybe if they made it so only some days have snow coverage and the rest just dead grass it wouldn't be so overwhelming to play through Winter? But then I don't know how they'd handle Snowboys and I'm guessing people wouldn't be happy at the dead colours lol.

Oh, yikes. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Besides turning the brightness down, since that's been mentioned, maybe just TT past it? Or TT back to before winter and cover your island in designs and furniture so you can participate in all the winter stuff. If you're playing on the original Switch and could set it up with a monitor, there might also be settings you can use to get around that.

Why delete the game when you could TT away?

I never liked snow in Animal Crossing, but it's absolutely beautiful in New Horizons.
 
I can’t find any snowballs. It’s probably because of my flowers, but I‘ve been clearing some space all during fall in preparation of this and it wasn’t enough. None of my empty grass areas have snowballs and I walked around my whole island and can’t find them. I’m not digging up more of my flowers. They’re the main feature of my island. I guess I’ll be missing out on the recipes
 
O yeah, villagers wearing t-shirts and tanktops during winter. There is snow on the ground now? Why are they still wearing shirts sometimes? I dont get it..
I totally regret gifting them cute summer clothes now :( it just doesn't feel realistic
 
I wish they'd make fewer flowers spawn after rainfall or snowfall, I just finished clearing mine out which took heaps of hours over 2 days and I made more than 50k bells on them. I feel like I customised my shovel 50 times lol. I had so many because I never bothered to pluck them every time they spawned and it quickly built up! I'm not fond of having yet another chore to do as part of my dailies.

I just found out that we didn’t get a turkey for turkey day!
We didn't get any food unfortunately :(
 
I logged in to see why I couldn't find any snowballs despite clearing out space... I'm was so looking forward to snow and now I'm super depressed cause I have no idea what I want to tear apart or what I need to tear apart to get the dung beetle & Snowboys... how ridiculous. New Leaf wasn't like this.

If you have any free space in your designs menu you can create a transparent piece and place that around flowerbeds! It’ll stop more from spawning 🥰 the only downside is then you lose a space for real designs so I had to stop. The little section of my island where there’s a picnic area is absolutely overrun with tulips 😔😔

Yeah, I know of that trick! I considered it but I'm not sure if I want to commit to that seeing as I still have hundreds of flowers scattered around and putting patterns around each one sounds like a nightmare!

Time to gift them lots of cozy winter outfits! ♡

I'm having the same issue! I'm going to clear out some flowers, but I'm not getting my hopes up...
