The ACNH Rant Thread

[annex]

Did you know that you can hide 15 somewhere on your island that you can't see and it will stop the branches from spawning until you clean them up? Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

I finally did this. Works great. I just put them behind my cliffs.

I am sad not really a NH rant but I had some people over to my island last night and now a bunch of the DIYs from my beach are gone I gave one person permission but I’m missing maybe five?

Idk which ones are gone and yeah, they were ones I already learned but I keep them for trades or in case friends need them. It’s frustrating that I can’t store put them in storage and I don’t want them littering my house so I put them on my beach ☹ My bad I guess but still just felt like ranting for a moment

Sorry that happened. It's too bad that some people just help themselves to things that don't belong to them. Maybe next time you could put a fence around them?

I'm an adult.

Yes. I've cooked and built furniture.
I've been taking caring of myself for decades.

I loathe crafting and having to customize my tools at 600 bells a pop, just to reset them so they don't break.

I certainly, as stated in my post above, do not want to be applauded for doing something I utterly detest, and don't want anyone trying to get me to look at the 'bright side' (in a rant thread) of customizing tools so they don't break, as there isn't one.

Tools breaking is a massive step backwards for AC.

Also, Tom Nook and Isabelle are NPC's in a game.

They aren't my 'friends'.

I am also an adult and don't mind getting positive reinforcement in the current 2020 "Me First" culture where people don't even teach their kids to be nice to each other anymore.

I don't need to be talked down to like I am a baby because I have a differing opinion on a forum where discussions take place. Just because I have a more positive attitude diesnt mean that I'm a child or someone who is trying to spread nothing but toxic positivity.

I have problems with the game too, but that doesn't mean I don't like the positives.

So, I am sorry that I tried to engage in a lighthearted conversation about the value of handcrafted things as a reason why our villagers might clap for us when we craft things. This is going to make me sound like an old sourpuss, but most kids these days (and several adults I know) do not appreciate the value of high quality handcrafted items. After all, how many people these days build their own furniture from scratch? How many people know how to put together a filling and tasty well crafted four course dinner? How many people sew their own clothes?

So when I see our villagers appreciate what we do in the game means a lot. I realize it is my background that helps give it meaning, but I see this and think of other people who see the same thing (especially kids) and I hope they remember it and start valuing quality hand crafted items more.

That is what I was talking about and I do feel regret if that was not clear in my original response.

i think thats pretty rant worthy tbh. i hate doing trades and people decide to roam a bit and when they see the diys they just take them, not even asking. like had they asked i would have said yes, but since they didnt i get angry. also reminds me of the time i was doing a quick trade and sahara decides to stay near my airport and this person, without asking, just runs over to her and starts buying stuff from her and it takes quite a while, in the MIDDLE of me trading with other people. its rude and disrespectful.

i dont even keep diys anymore, i just sell them or mail them to my sister

thank you sm, i am mentally disabled and so some simple tasks are actually super hard for me to do and so my family likes to give me positive reinforcement whenever i do said tasks. it really breaks me down when i see people go "youre an adult, you are required to do these things" because not everyone has the same capability to do the same things

There's a little trick that allows you to store your DIYs inside your recycling box.

You need to take a table (which is a piece of furniture that allows you to place up to 4 items on it) outside, preferably to the beach, than place your 4 diy cards on it, and after that, request clean up service. It will take the table and the card to your recycling box (make sure to stay very near the table before requesting cleanup).

You can do this many times, retrieving your table from the box each time (or, to save time, you can have more than one table with you so you don't need to go to RS to take the table back everytime).

Exactly! I love having people over to my island and 99% of the time if you ask me to do something I’m going to say yes. It’s the not asking that makes me sad. You want to buy from my shops, pick through my DIYs, grab some fruit? Go for it!! Just ask first so at least I know what’s happening.

I’ll have to stick to TBT solely for trades I think. I had some cute clothes in my Ables and I had some really lovely users from here come over that were so sweet and polite! I let them wander around no problem at all. I thought I’d let some people from reddit come over too and I’m sure it was somebody from there who took the DIYs :/

Also that’s so frustrating about Saharah! If I invite people over solely to chat with Saharah, Celeste, Kicks, etc it’s totally different. But if I’m trying to trade with multiple people and one person decides to stray from the “pick up, drop, leave” routine it throws everything off because nobody can leave or enter during a conversation!

Give a look at the last 5 or so pages in this thread and you'll notice a pattern. There's a reason I refuse to interact with users who act like this. At this point, I see it as roleplaying of an annoying character that tries too hard to get noticed. I used to get annoyed everytime I saw this, but it's now almost funny and sad at the same time.

Oh my goodness thank you so much!! I had no idea about this I’ll be sure to do this in the future if I get any more sought after DIYs, thank you!

Thank you I was wondering why that trick didn’t work for me . I was missing the table.

I wish the street lamps were a DIY... or just not an NM item. Honestly, I don't really like trading, and I don't want to have to trade for all of the black street lamps I'll need. Starting an island on my boyfriend's Switch is an option, but then I also have to take the time to earn the necessary Nook Miles.

2pm hourly music is grating. The whining melody... nope!

I really, really, wish we could turn off the music in Animal Crossing. Even in New Leaf I wanted it to be a feature, honestly. I’m not a huge fan of a few of the New Horizons tracks so I would love to turn them off & just have the ambient Island sounds or turn the music down low.

 

[lexy_]

I need brewster and his coffee in my game now, I miss him so much. I don't like the fact that I have to wait so long for a NPC that should be in the game at the beginning.

I was listening to New Leaf and other previous hourlies, and I can fully admit there's an element of nostalgia, but like... NH just doesn't consistently nail the vibe as much as earlier ones did. NL's 7pm, for example, perfectly encapsulates a kind of anxious melancholy that the day is ending. 9am and 5pm stand out, too. And midnight had that minimalism that very much shifted the night into "ah, you're up past your bedtime" energy.

NH's hourlies are still nice in many ways, but don't consistently feel like they're tapping into an understood feeling.

But even then, yeah, we should be given the option to turn music off.

This has probably been said a million times, but I’m going to say it now because it’s presently affecting me... We need more custom texture slots.

That’s it. I don’t really have a rant. Just s complaint.

 

[Bluebellie]

I want to be able to fully customize house exterior without having to expand and create new interior rooms!! I just wanted one main room and a nice exterior for my alternative characters.
In new leaf I didn’t have to expand to have this access.


Where’s Lyle and Lottie when you need them.

 

[KimiyoCake]

Don't you guys hate it when a close friend you invited to your island to give them 3 extra diys you had (only 3) and you hand it to them near the airport and then you give them a tour of your island and... next thing couple of your other diy you had laying around b/c your pockets were full is missing! I didn't notice till a day or so after... i know its my fault for having lots of stuff laying around (i'm in the progress of paying off that 2mil loan for storage), but it doesn't mean for your friend (who you also know in real life) to just take things without asking Dx He did apologize when I reached out to him asking if he took it... and told him that he should ask before taking anything that wasn't offered :/

I know! I never thought there would be a day where I would low key miss Lyle.

You know, I kind of always liked Lyle to be honest, even when he would sell me Life insurance in wild world lol.

I can see that. I liked him well enough, but he always made me tired listening to him. I got to the point where I would look at him and go "HAHA! BANG! BOOM!"

He is less annoying than used car salesmen on the radio.

 

[Jam86]

there is so much missing from this game that it actually bugs me
like i really want the nintendo and sanrio characters back or regular npc's like gracie, brewster, digby even if they have new roles in the game, i just want them to return
also i'm at that point where, if they brought wolf link back, i wouldn't hesitate to replace raymond with him

another thing, i've fully completed label's fashion checks and now she shows up more often
it's so annoying, literally all she can do now is give out tailor tickets, i have enough bells to go shopping
she has showed up every week for a month and i time travel so it's probably longer, i love the able sisters but label has got to either go away or open up a shop on the island so at least she isn't taking up room in the plaza
