lol let me guess, normal? I always talk to Kiki and Margie and that's usually how they start off a conversation after going through the mention of what I am wearing, holding, or had done.

I spent a ton of time on getting my villagers, yet idk if I like some of them. Like Raymond, Judy, Octavian, and Marshal. Every one of them, I spent 4 mil+ to get, except Octavian. Eithwr way, all of them mean a lot to me, and id feel guilty if I kicked any of them. However, I really want Tangy and Melba 
someone help me idk what to do

Also a lot of the time i feel like i’m keeping them just cuz they’re top tier villagers. Most of ACNH sometimes feels like a competition to me. Like, my island is TRASH. Some islands are so gorgeous and i feel even worse about mine when I see them. I want something to be proud of, so I keep Marshal, Raymond, and Judy. A lot, I feel guilty when I kick villagers fsr, idk why. It sometimes makes me feel better to give them away, but idk. Tangy is my ultimate dreamie and i really want her but i don’t want to kick anyone outI spent a ton of time on getting my villagers, yet idk if I like some of them.

I love this game but I'm sad that so many things either annoy me or stress me out. They've fixed some annoying things from previous games but then added different annoying things. I don't recall getting so frustrated and wanting so many breaks, except with Pocket Camp.
Sometimes I burn out from daily chores and I'd like to just log in occassionally/for special events, but with the limited-time rotating event items, keeping the Nook Mile streak at RS and the balloon DIYs I often feel pressured into logging in daily or spending a lot of time playing so I don't miss out and feel even worse. I wish they wouldn't do that so much.

house storage is such a pain to get to. i wish we could access it from outside somehow because that's where i store most of the items i bulk diy to decorate my island with or my material stacks so they're not just lying around.
the ways we can organize are stuff in the game could be waaay better. like maybe a chest system outside or something. i lose the momentum to do anything with my island when i remember i have to walk back all the way to where i put my house just to grab what i need urgh

Thats how I feel. Not about buying villagers as I haven’t done that, but I do feel the game is competitive and really pushes FOMO on people. I don’t have that feeling when I play the earlier games at all. My villagers in my NH island are essentially trophies Even though I don’t think any of them are desirable. I had Raymond but gave him to a friend as I don‘t care about what people think of my villagers.

Yeah, I haven’t played any previous AC games but i’ve heard that the outside wasn’t customizable, and so ACNH island customization an exciting, yet competitive feature
It was never a big issue before because none of the other systems had an easy way to upload footage/pictures onto social media sites with relative ease. The fact that the Switch had this made it blow up quickly. Add to that with the pandemic lock-down and hype build up from people who wouldn't had bought this game otherwise.
I check Twitter every now and then and I rarely see any NH stuff. But when it first came out it was like a Space race for everyone and while I wasn't in the race or stressing out it kind of did turn me off from the social media aspect of it.

New leaf had some outdoor customisation in the form of public work projects. (Many of which are Nook miles items in NH) and in the older games you could still place flowers and paths.
But when I play the older games (and I do, frequently) I feel relaxed. No the graphics aren’t as great and no I can’t terraform but I don’t care about that. What I have instead is little online towns that are mine, that I don’t worry about what people will think, i am attached to my villagers and I enjoy talking to them and I get excited to start a new game if I want to reset.
Whereas in NH I have a second island and I just started it today as I feel my first one is finished. I’ve decorated, got 5*, paid off my mortgage and now I feel I have nothing to spend bells on. But I’m dreading the slow beginning of a new game in NH, i hate how much crafting goes in to the first week and even if I get a villager I adore in the next few days it will bug me as I won’t get their proper interior and i won’t feel that connection to them. Take Static for instance, he moved into my wild world today and I’m so happy. In Some ways I don’t want to find him in NH as i don’t want to see the shell he has become.
New Horizons to me is island decorator, it’s a larger version of Happy Home designer.

I agree, I think it comes down to the fact that the New Horizons doesn't have that homey, small-town feel that previous entries have. And part of that appeal IMO is being plopped into an already-existing place and feeling welcomed and entering a nice place. You feel like a part of something greater, and that's really cool. New Horizons just feels a bit more robotic, linear and less home-y. The main reason I love Animal Crossing is as an escape from real life, but New Horizons just doesn't scratch that same itch exactly.
oh yeah, i get this too! i think part of why NH doesn't have that home-y town feel is because you got welcomed as a newcomer into the NL towns (iirc in NL your starting villagers welcome you as you pull up from the train, right?) where you become mayor but in NH the "story" is more "please come to my town" and so the premise is like you're developing to welcome islanders instead of you retreating into a small town that "existed" before you came around to be part of it

Not really a rant, but I thought I’d post this here:
I have been reading windflowers as “wildflowers” this whole time. O___O
I was scrolling through the Animal Crossing sub-Reddit, and the same thing happened to another person, that’s how I found out I made the same mistake.pp

I know it’s just something they do, but because I sell the fossils everyday, they’re always going to mention it and it’s just sooo repetitive.
I agree with your other point about commenting on what you’re wearing too. I actually feel self-conscious if I’ve worn the same outfit two days in a row because they always comment on it!

I feel ya. I want to catch a coelacanth soooooooo bad. I heard that it IS possible to catch one in the snow, but I don't have that kind of luck. ;---;
Hopefully the first rainfall won't be long after the snow goes away.
Thank goodness there is a rant thread because I just have to get this out of my system.
I feel like these forums are the most toxic they have ever been around here. Day after day there is at least a new thread trying to attack other people. Whether it is for the love or for the hate of New Horizons. I know I don't have to participate in these threads or read these threads, but when a thread happens to get a lot of posts in a very short amount of time, I get curious. It is starting to feel like for those people who do want to try to discuss things, we have to tiptoe around people with very precise wording (sometimes to the point of overwording) in order to not get what we are trying to say or ask twisted around and used as ammo against us.
Every day there are also people ranting that they can't be critical of New Horizons where the most popular posts in this subsection of the forum are those that are highly critical of New Horizons. Some to the point of just plain hate and frustration.
It has gotten to the point where Reddit is comparatively less toxic than the forums. And before anyone says to "just go and enjoy Reddit if you hate the forums enough to rant about them", that is what I intend to do for a while.

I'm upset that there's only one new creature for February in the Northern Hemisphere. I was really looking forward to catching new bugs/fish/sea things this month! I feel like January was pretty stagnant in that regard as far as changing creatures, so I thought we might get more now Ah well, I'm sure the season change will bring more in March.

Why do they make super tiny items. I think the cat grass and the cactus set look super cute, but when I place them, they look soooo small and weird.
