The ACNH Rant Thread

Okay I am just going to say this The Bug Off is RNG/Luck based. There are times I was able to catch a lot of bugs but then there are times where I only caught one bug and I didn't see anymore spawn. I mean seriously why is it so hard to catch bugs whenever you start the Bug-off event? This is why I prefer the Fishing Journey. I know most people like the bug off because its faster, but for me maybe I just have bad luck but whenever I do the bug off I have problems catching bugs due to them not spawning so often.
A tip: @RoxasFan20 You can use the rotten turnips for ants during the Bug Off, though they won't spawn if your gates are open or hosting friends for the event.

I hear ya on this, my islands has a lot of bugs on any given day. When that timer starts, they'd disappear and I'm lucky if I find 3, very annoying!

I still have yet to get a fly to spawn so I can catch it. What am I doing wrong?
@Millysaurusrexjr They're very easy to scare off, try to put your trash somewhere you won't accidentally run by or forgot, so you can sneak up on it. They're def not like the rotten turnips which will attract the ants right away. The flies took me several weeks to spot and I had to relocate the trash to the beach since I'm more careful walking there and it's easier to spot the flies (for me anyway).
 
The rooms of your house being so TINY! I loved decorating in New Leaf. Trying to make paths around the furniture was a nice challenge. Now, I can't even enjoy decorating at all. It becomes cluttered so quickly. Some of my rooms a still barely even decorated. I miss my cosy New Leaf kitchen ;;
 
I played the dang Bug Off for about 6 hours, long enough to earn the gold trophy and received only 1 spider web. (I was able to trade for some here thanks to klx125.) It was annoying to waste so much time and receive so many things I didn't want. The RNG was not working for me. I have a ton of toy centipedes and those bag type bug cages and butterfly walls and lady bug rugs. Ugh. I still love Flick, but he was not making me happy with the swag.

If it isn't too much trouble can I trade one of the bug cages with you?
 
I know I talk a lot of crap about NH and treat the game like an unsuccessful little brother to NL/older titles. I love NH and everything new in the game, I know I'm going to sound whiny but I honestly wish they made the graphics like PC's or kept it like in the beta screenshots. The developers of the game must of worked super hard on NH's graphics and as good as those graphics are, I feel like it sucked out a lot of the Animal Crossing title's personality. I’m not asking the game to be exactly like older titles, I want the game to feel new but I also want it to feel like Animal Crossing if you know what I mean.
 
I realized today that I love terraforming and waterscaping because it's relaxing. You just go along for hours if you want and your tools never break...unlike regular tools.
 
the game is boring.. it gets repetitive, there are no big updates, not much stuff to unlock, and once you unlock everything, what do you do? talk to your cardboard cut-out villagers. when you get bored and forget you were playing, you get trash music to listen to, once you finish your island, in the next, what, 9 years? you're not going to be looking back with fondness, you're just gonna forget it ever existed.

tl;dr game is forgettable, if you put it down for a day, you stop playing for a year, music is bad, villagers are practically saltines.
 
So from suggestions from users here I tried talking to my villagers more, because apparently they don't all repeat each other (Spoiler: they were literally repeating the same conversations I had yesterday and some of my villagers literally had exactly the same dialogue). But after a little bit, they got a purple scribble over their head and afterwards it literally would not let me talk to them. I love how New Horizons punishes us for trying to play the game!

I’ve always hated that they seem to get annoyed at you for wanting to talk to them. I don’t remember this being a thing in the other AC games 😞

This was a thing even in AC for the GC, but I feel like you had to be really on them 24/7 for them to finally tell you to go away. I personally don't like that after your first conversation they act like you are bothering them. I don't know if it's just lowkey bad translation with the English team or if they're just as 'anti-social' in the JP dialogue.

They always did the squiggly lines thing to represent that they wanted to be left alone with all of the games. Possibly even Animal Forest+. I also was compelled to keep trying to talk to my villagers after others here talked about how great the dialogue is and that you have to get through the rough patch first. I was trying to get through that patch for months without any success and was even talking to them daily and doing friendly chores and presents for them to only be greeted with more rng garbage dialogue.

I've given up at this point and just talk to them like once every blue moon.
