Knowing a balloon may have iron in it or 30,000 bells is never meh for me.
I don't know if the luck rate is increased for today, but I've already made over 60,000 bells on balloons.
When you're trying to fund PWPs, or move buildings, that 30,000 is a godsend.

This is my biggest complaint with AC as a whole!!!! How are we playing in 2020 without this feature?!

I thought that there was an enter button? Idk about NH but I'm pretty sure it's in every other AC game?

Yep, it still exists.
I really wish Animal Crossing would add word-wrap though. I mean, we're way beyond the days of manual typewriters (which is what having to hit that button makes me feel like we're in).

I wish that you didn't have to manually switch to your ladder to go up cliffs because when im doing something where i need to do things on different levels it gets really annoying.

I have been SUPER positive so far because I was really excited about this game. And I still love it very very much, don't get me wrong... but I'm ready to properly rant. (I will put some positive things at the end to make up for it!)
- I am so sick of crafting. Like, this was advertised to be a prominent feature so that's my own fault, but oh my god. I really just hate gathering supplies to craft. It was fine at first because I didn't realize HOW MUCH CRAFTING we would be doing. And on that note...
- WHY WAS I SURPRISED WHEN I FOUND OUT WE HAVE TO MAKE THE BUNNY DAY FURNITURE OURSELVES. Like I should not have been surprised at all but here we are. I would rather be rewarded with the furniture, not the DIY to make the furniture. I'm mostly just mad at myself for not expecting this.
- I know this has been said over and over but I just wish things were sold in their default colours and we could customize them ourselves instead of trading for the colours we want :/ This applies to flowers too, I wish they were easier to obtain without trading or getting lucky. I have only found windflowers (native) and pansies. At least blue pansies are one of my favourites, so that's nice!
- I wasn't able to put a tree a space away from my bridge? As in, one free space, and then the tree next to the free space (both ways). My friend suggested it could be because the size of the bridge is technically bigger than it appears to be (which makes sense) but this still really bothers me. I would like to test this on another bridge but am unable to atm as I only have that one. (To clarify, the area I was attempting to plant the tree was clear and acceptable by NL standards.)
- I'm sad about no bushes but I'm sure we will get them soon!
- This isn't really a rant lol but I decided to take things super slowly because I was in no rush, so I spent my first week just grinding for bells and paying off my house. But after seeing my friend's towns I feel incredibly behind, like they have ramps and bridges and decorations and beautiful houses... and mine is a huge mess of supplies and random house placements. At the end of the day this does not matter as someday I'll have a very beautiful island too but now I'm feeling a little rushed.
I do love the game despite my many complaints so here are my positives in a spoiler since my post is already pretty long (and they don't really fit the rant thread)!

Saharah's rugs are awesome, I got the cutest magic rug (I can't recall the name) that fits my theme perfectly! As well, there are SO MANY cute new wallpapers and floors, I love it!!! I put a nice wallpaper in my bedroom and it gave me the cutest pastel blue gingham curtains too!
All the clothes are soo cute! They're not flat like they were in previous games. I think the seifuku top is a perfect example of this!
PINK LAPTOP. That is all.
I also love that you can put things on top of tall wardrobes and stuff like that. Of course moving furniture in half spaces / in the center of tables / etc. is also great. You can even put items on some stools!
I also have taken a real liking to Drago, I used to dislike Lazy villagers which was unfortunate because I like many of their designs, but lazies are great in this game IMO! I also like learning reactions by being friends with your villagers, I didn't care for Shrunk so I prefer this for sure.
It's so cool that Flick can make you bug models, that's amazing! I gave them three orchid mantises today, I'm very excited to see what it looks like tomorrow!
I also love all the balloons! I get disappointed when I get supplies but I have gotten a couple nice pieces of furniture as well as 30K and some nice DIYs. Sometimes I just sit and farm them for fun surprises!

It's 2020 and...
No dedicated item button. Lr+a to vault for example.
Still only bug and fishing as main activities. Still relatively small critterpedia considering these are the only two activites.
No bulk craft. No craft from storage.
Everything takes 10 years, selling, buying, storing. Redeeming miles, etc. + doesn't even do anything! Why can't we use it to bring up nook+ miles more quickly?
Need nso for literally anything that even smells like internet. Greedy af, not paying 20 a year for laggy servers. Let us at least do stuff that doesn't require online play like the QR or kiosk.
Still only like 6 villager personalities. Villagers houses are reused for other villagers in other people games.
Events require you to have a Nintendo account.
Need multiple switches for people to be able to actually feel like they have their own save.
There's more but that's the top of my head, sorry for the aggressive tone. I like the game but I'm disappointed. This feels like sw/sh instead of botw/oddessy.

What would help drastically is for your house storage to be an option within your inventory, so you don’t have to keep travelling back to your house each time. It can just be there for you to plop things into wherever you happen to be.

I actually believe that all of this is a scheme by Nintendo to get people to subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online thing.
Would also explain why you can only aquire a second fruit via the ilands and limited flowers.
Yeah, it's one thing to encourage online play, but imo they are locking out a lot of our freedom to customize our Island as we please, behind a paywall that is the Nintendo Online subscription.

-Putting down a house plot and going on 10 mystery islands to not find anyone you like. Next day get rando Limberg moving in T_T
-Fishing on my friends southern hemi island and getting 12 new fish, 2 new bugs but someone is too lazy to leave properly and just closes the game so everyone there lost their progress.

I feel like we have so much freedom we can customize our island however we want but when it comes to villagers the campsite we forced to accept whoever in there starting villagets fair enough putting down a house plot i thought we can invite who ever we want on a random island but the next day you get a random that moves in so no choice what so ever in that regard. i also wish we can craft from our storage and not from a invertory, and the house interior is so small to put any house items in there and spare recipes can't put in storage cos i like hoarding items lol other then these complants love the game.

The game's progress is SO slow. I could have definitely done like half of the first week on the first day of release but no, you have to wait for Blather's tent to open. Then you have to wait for Nook's Cranny. And you can only do one task a day. It's difficult to not time travel. I was planning on not time travelling for this game but it's so slow.

I’m losing my mind over island gatcha. I’ll admit I’ve gotten a few good islands (i.e. hybrid flower island, pear tree island [non-native fruit]), but I have never seen any island for tarantulas or money which is a bit difficult because I’m trying to farm bells. In fact, a lot of the islands I’ve come across are really mediocre with few good resources and no villagers. Regarding “no villagers,” I’m not sure if it’s because all my plots are filled or not, either way it’s kinda frustrating because I’d like to get a villager I have out.
I’m a little tired of the gatcha rolls I’ve got here, is all, hahah ;v; I’ve spent a lot of nook miles on this stuff. Hhhhh-

ungiftedhybrid's Creature:
This is probably just me being stupid, but I’ve only just found out that you have to dig flowers up if you want to be able to re-plant them again. I got the hybrid island the other day and I could have just obtained loads of nice hybrids- but nope, thanks to my own ignorance, the only thing I can do with them now is put them in a vase or in my hair. Yay.

It would even just be enough to make all "storage items" be connected to each other and be able to access them all over the island. Kinda like the lockers in New Leaf.
