The ACNH Rant Thread

I hate that Isabelle announces that it's the 'start of a new week' on a Sunday... I'm in the UK andthe start of our week is Monday, as I'm sure it is in a lot of other countries. I get that it's translated by Americans, but they could at least do some basic research or simply leave big statements like that out. Every single week it throws me off and I have a mini-panic that I've somehow missed a day or ttd forwards a day somehow.
No, in America/US (and I am sure everywhere else) we associate Monday as the start of the new week. Someone just took artistic liberty in having it be that way. They are in the minority and I don't know how they let it pass by the radar.

I was surprised when I heard this actually, I'm in Australia and we were always taught "Sunday, Monday, Tuesday" etc. I had no idea other countries start their week on the Monday! To us it's the start of the working week, but not the "actual" week.

Do your calendar weeks start on Monday as well?

Um, this isn't true at all. In the US (where I have lived all of my life and I don't know any different 😆), weeks start with Sunday. Work weeks start with Monday and only last until Friday because Monday through Friday is the "traditional" work week.

But calendars in the US start with Sunday and go to Saturday instead of starting with Monday and going to Sunday. Which I know is a thing in Japan at least because I like Japanese stationary. 😅
 
I hateeeee hate hate how they did us dirty with the flower plant stuff. Like I hate not being able to store the plants. It's annoying. I guess it makes sense or whatever but I don't care -- still a HUGE nuisance. I want to switch out the flower themes on my island for each season but I don't want to have to grow them ALL OVER AGAIN when I want to put those colors back out the next time that particular season hits. What they really need to do is have Leif either open up a shop on the island somewhere and allow him to store them for you in a a little "greenhouse" sorta furniture piece, or maybe come out with a greenhouse in general where you could specifically store away your flowers and other plants. Pleaaaase Nintendo. I won't sue u if u rob this idea right from my post, scout's honor. I'm sick of hiding flowers behind houses. Ugh

I get what you're saying with this but I've also (unfortunately) lived in the US my whole life and while Sunday is the beginning of the week on paper, I don't know a single person who considers sunday the start of the week. It marks the end of the weekend to most people, which translates to the end of the week.

Now I'm not saying that's the end all be all of the argument, but from what I gather from almost all the people I've known here is that Monday is the start of the workweek, and by proxy the beginning of the week. Again, I agree that on paper sunday is the start of the week ! I just don't agree that that makes sunday the beginning of the week considering how it's viewed in terms of work and leisure !
 
I really really wish there were a way to remove unwanted or accidental things from villager homes. Like, Willow doesn't need that Raja Brooke's Birdwing in her house and Raymond should be tired of that sewing box by now. Normally when I mess up a villager I have an Amiibo card and can start them fresh but there isn't one for Raymond and I don't have Willow's, unfortunately.
 
I was bummed out that the city/main street area was removed. I don't know, I really liked having that separate environment for stores.

that was one of the things i was actually excited about was to see if the main street was there because even though i havent played older games it was appealing to me, was super disappointed it wasnt in this game

I wonder if it is a regional thing. I don't know anyone who considers Monday the "official start of the week".
 
I am sick of trying to find Julian on islands and the campsite! I have enjoyed organically letting villagers come and go as it's so regarding to find who you want but I may have to break down and trade for him 🙁
Julian was my first camper and he’s still on my second island ungifted :) let me know if you want him

In America, Sunday is the start of the new week.
Also, Sunday is the first day of the week in Japan too. So it has nothing to do with translation.

I wish ordinances were back, I would so put the late night one on. it's annoying when I want to play at night but everything is closed. so I have to play in the morning or afternoon if I want to go shopping.
 
This is the control freak in me coming out but I wish villagers would invite us to their homes so we could buy furniture off them like in New Leaf, just so I can clear out mismatched furniture I've given them or all the clothes I gave for them to wear but they decided to just display around their house instead.

whitney displays every piece of clothing ive ever given her. doesnt wear a single one. it is... very annoying. :rolleyes:
 
I’m upset that I will miss the New Years event and I assume won’t get the achievement because I never stay up until midnight playing games. I never time travel so that’s not an option either. This is punishing people who don’t time travel.
