The ACNH Rant Thread

[Starboard]

I need to move my bridge up by ONE tile. Of course there's no option for that, first you have to pay 10k to demolish it (WHY does that cost so much when putting up/taking down other giant things is free?) then pay again for a new bridge. When I think of all the chores I did to rack up that kind of money I just get mad lol.

I'm considering moving a whole block of my island down by one tile to avoid paying it

I’m tired of the Happy Home Academy always roasting my house. “You have trash on the floor!” “Did you know you’ll lose points when an item is backwards?” “Maybe you should try changing up your interior design!” Like, where’s the positivity? I hate getting negative letters every week, complaining about how I decorate MY house.

According to the HHA my house still isn't "complete" despite having been finished for half a year now. They won't even elaborate on what "complete" means, I have my main room, a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and living room! What more do they want??

My thoughts on the people complaining about the game topic is this.

Its fine for people to dislike the game. You cant expect everyone to like it.

My issues with it come from those who spend months on here complaining about it. If you don't like the game just play something else. I really don't get why you'd dedicate so much of your existence to complaining about a game.

I take no issue with those who don't like the game, complain, then move on. I actually respect that.
But I think its really stupid when someone has put in thousands on hours across a whole year of playing, and then act like they should have gotten more.
I mean like, name 1 other game that's given over 1000 hours of play time. Most people can't. The games over for you and thats fine. Accept it and move on.

And I also dislike it when people can't accept that this particular entry in the series does not cater to their ideals.
They act like they got ripped off from buying the game. Maybe it's not what they expected and its okay to be disappointed in that.
But the fact that so many people have put so much time into the game, shows that it's just subjective opinion.
I put 1000 hours into this game. I don't think its lacking bare essentials at all. So it rubs me the wrong way when people make out that it does. It simply lack what they want.

And I want to make clear I have no issue at all with people saying anything negative in this thread. It's what it's here for.
So im not complaining about anything anyone has said here.

i'm getting really tired of receiving notifications for this thread only for it to be another person complaining about other people. this is a rant thread for ACNH, not its community, and honestly it's reached the point where i don't feel comfortable even posting in the rant thread for its literal purpose, let alone voicing my thoughts/opinions about the game anywhere else on this forum. if you don't like people complaining, fine, good for you, but nobody's forcing you to read those complaints and criticisms or engage with them. i'm all for friendly debate etc. and differences in opinion, but needlessly complaining about other people publicly (even if not individually or by name) over something completely harmless to the point where they're likely to feel uncomfortable voicing their own thoughts for fear of ridicule is a step too far imo.

You dont have to have notifications for this thread turned on.
I was simply contributing to the discussion that has been happening. I did not mention you, or direct anything at you. But im almost certain this reply was due to my post.

And to be fair, it's a 2 way street on being comfortable talking or not. I've felt uncomfortable here talking positively about the game due to people hating on it across multiple threads.

Perhaps everyone, us included, should be more mindful of what we say.

i have notifications on for this thread because it's supposed to be the one thread on here with like-minded people to me where i'm not going to be put on blast for having a criticism of the game, thanks. you also didn't have to comment on here complaining about actual people and their opinions just because they don't line up with yours. your comment also isn't the first. it's about the third in the last two days, maybe even less. i just finally got tired of seeing them. end of story.

I know I'm not the first. I commented my thoughts as part of the discussion going on. If no one started it, I would not have contributed my views on the subject.
I dont want to argue with you here so I won't.

But i do stand by that outside of this thread its very much a 2 way street when it comes to being comfortable.

well that's why i didn't quote you -- because i was referring to all the people commenting similar things, not just you. it's not an okay thing to do; it's terribly rude. if i did the reverse of going into the positivity thread for ACNH and saying i was tired of seeing people gush incessantly about the game, or being made to feel like i'm not allowed to voice criticisms because people who enjoy the game see that as "too negative", my comment would probably be removed and/or i would be warned for it. why does the same not apply here? just leave people and their (harmless) opinions alone. there's an ignore feature for a reason. there's no need for anyone to be making jabs at others, especially over a difference in opinion re: a game's execution.

I know you didn't quote me but I'm sure you can understand why I felt it was still a response to me

And you are probably right that this thread was not the place for it. I contributed to an ongoing discussion but maybe it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I dont know.

I'm not sure I agree that negative opinions are harmless as seeing them across threads other than this one certainly does affect my experience here.
But as I said, on this thread I take no issues with any complaints at all.
So I apologise if I made you feel this thread wasn't safe to talk about things you dislike.

negative opinions are generally harmless unless they're about actual people. i could argue the same thing and claim that "positive opinions" are harmful because seeing them across other threads and being told by people who hold them that i'm "too negative" and being made to feel unwelcome/uncomfortable simply for not being inherently positive affects my experience on here. yet i highly doubt you would agree that's true, in which case the logic is flawed, no? there is a positivity thread for this game and a rant thread. all other threads in between are fair game for people with either viewpoint. neither should be made to feel like they can't say something because other people won't agree with it, and i'm sorry you feel like you're not allowed to enjoy the game or post about said enjoyment. that being said, i've personally seen far more people rag on those who have criticisms and tell them to abandon the game or leave etc. than the reverse. i myself have been told those things several times, and yet i've never turned around and told someone who enjoys the game that they shouldn't or that their positive opinions are wrong.

regardless, i think we can both at least agree vocal criticisms of actual people and their thoughts never should've been introduced on this thread specifically to begin with. if people felt the need to express that opinion, they should've made their own thread about it. of course it probably would've been deleted, hence why they posted it here instead, but maybe that should've been enough to tell them it wasn't an appropriate thing to say in general.

I would have to disagree about how it could be viewed the same way for positive opinions as this is a fan site. And by the nature of a fan site, you would expect to see happy people here.

I tried to keep my comments vague as to not attack anyone directly.
But yes, if it having being said here has made you or anyone else feel uncomfortable using this thread then I do regret it.
Its a conversation, that while I have opinions on, I should have stayed out of.

Finally someone who understands the same feeling I had to deal with and the reason why I stepped away from this site. Everytime I make a thread I always get hated on, then people take what I say out of context and try to make it seem like I'm the one who is being rude when really I am not. I am not here to spread negativity or trying to hate on others, but when I have to put up with users who attack me just because I have different opinion, it hurts me.

Many people on this site don't seem to understand the difference between having an actual valid opinion and then having to be attacked by others who simply don't agree with you. Its a hurtful feeling.

then the logic is flawed. if positive opinions can't be harmful despite negatively affecting someone, then the same reasoning can't be used to say negative opinions are inherently harmful. your experience with negative opinions is not more valid than my (or anyone else's) experience with positive opinions. therefore if negative opinions are harmful because they affect you negatively, positive opinions must also be harmful because they affect me negatively. you can't just pick and choose when the logic applies. that's the issue i have here, but i digress.

Due to this being a fan site, I feel it's only natural to expect fans. You would not expect people who dislike the game talking on a fan site.
Thats why I feel its different.

But yeah, I do agree this is here no there aha

Hey everyone!

We’re seeing a lot of off-topic chatter here. While sharing negative feelings towards something and constructive criticism are welcome, this is a friendly reminder that this thread is for sharing such comments about New Horizons rather than directing them towards the nature of the community and its members.

Please be mindful of your posts here moving forward to ensure they’re on-topic and respectful of those you’re sharing the space with.

Thank you!

And it doesn't help that we cannot store DIY recipes -_-

anyway, i finally want to express how much i hate that the side-stepping animation-mechanic-thing doesn't always trigger first time. sometimes i have to walk/run into the gap upwards of five times before my character finally shimmies through it. i'm starting to wish that they'd just walk through it as though it were a full tile instead of playing will-they-won't-they with the gap.

Now this one I can agree on!
I don't get it. Why do I sometimes need to run up to get through gaps? Why doesn't just walking work? Why does it take several attempts?

I love visiting dreams but I get stuck on them so often!

i'm sure it wouldn't, but i always get so paranoid that my game is going to bug/glitch out and get corrupted when my character just repeatedly starts vibrating against the gap instead of side-stepping through it lmao.
