The ACNH Rant Thread

After many clear nights, zero shooting stars. I have three recipes from Celeste and no shooting stars to get fragments.

I’m afraid I’ll be finished designing my island and my house the way that I want way sooner than I was hoping. And by then.... there won’t be much of anything left to do.

I just wanted to point out that, in the original Japanese version, it still asks if you're a "boy" or "girl". The "style" change was done by the localization team. So unless the dialogue box colors were changed by the localization team as well, the colors do indeed relate to the villager's gender.
--------------------------------------

For my rant, I'm just going to say: Ninty sold us an incomplete game where they're trying to force their players to play a certain way. Idc idc idc. If I wanted to play an online game with periodical event updates, I would've downloaded Pocket Camp.

Odd, quite a few of my villagers have had misc colored text boxes. Agent S and Berthas are blue and if they followed that rule it would mean they're boys - but I know they're both girls

Oh that is weird. I don’t pay attention to the boxes myself so I was just making an assumption based on that localization fact. Maybe they should’ve made the text boxes all the same color or something.

I have a ton of flowers planted and I did not see a single hybrid today. Whereas yesterday I even had 4 hybrid roses and some of the other flowers Dx

Audie’s house is starting to be infested with bugs. Would be nice if there was an option to “report” houses to Isabelle which would make villager houses go back to being original.

Yeah no the dialogue boxes definitely don't follow the old "boy = blue, girl = pink" rule anymore. Every time you start up the game you can see Isabelle's is yellow because her fur is yellow and whenever you talk to Tom Nook you'll see his is brown for the same reason. I have Snake, who's definitely a boy, and his text box is pink because his fur is pink, while Reneigh's is a brown that matches her main color, Lopez and Chief have bright orange, and so on. I don't really know anything about the Japanese version of the game but I doubt the localization team would go to so much effort just to change dialogue box colors, so I'm sure they're just meant to be based on aesthetic now.

bah same here! i've been playing on the same island since march 20th and have had loads of meteor showers but celeste has only appeared once

 

[Sicariana]

Every time I have to watch the unskippable cut scene when a player arrives at or leaves my island, I get just a wee bit closer to committing a war crime.

 

[Violit]

My main grumble right now is that my roses will not breed pink ones for the life of me :< Please, all I want is some pink roses haha!

My other main grumble is that Celeste has never been to my island despite me checking every day and every night and I've not seen shooting stars since the 21st March :<

I have some pink roses if you want them! Not many but my reds randomly bred some pink ones and uh I’m just a huge fan of pink lol

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I have been TTing and cataloging for days and I've honestly just found the furniture selection in this game is garbage. It feels like they just threw a bunch of random items in it. Where are all the themed furniture from New Leaf? We barely have any of that this time around. I have no inspiration for my house with what I've seen and it's a lot of work going day by day to catalog stuff. Especially since they decided to release color variations of certain furniture items which makes NO sense when we should have just been able to change their color in the DIY workbench. It would have been so easy to bring over a lot of the New Leaf furniture. I just don't get it.

Oh my gosh are you serious? I can pay you for them! I've just had no luck except red, red, some more red, a couple of white and that's it ;o;

 

[deerteeth]

This is not really a rant about the game but a rant about my creativity in the game, if that counts!!
I have sooo many ideas, but my inability to properly picture or plan things is really hindering my progress

It's like I know what I want to do, but I have no idea at the same time. My goal right now is to create a beautiful, natural, mountain-like neighbourhood on cliffs where my villagers can live, and line the shops and museum up around there somewhere... but the more I work on it, the more lost I feel!! I have so many worries, like am I going to need too many bridges / ramps and then not have any left?
And where is MY house going to go?? I think I'm just comparing my town to other people's, and I need to stop doing that and focus solely on my own. But it just seems like everyone else really knows what they're doing, and they have things laid out in a way that seems perfect! I really don't know how they do it without getting stressed out. I am having a blast making my visions come to life, but it is very slow and I'm unsure of myself and my plans while I work at them.

My only genuine rant of the game I will include right now is how far away we have to plant trees from bridges. What's the deal with that!! This has messed up the flow of some of my plans for sure. I realize that NH and NL are separate, but you could have trees closer in New Leaf!

 

[Sanaki]

I feel like I’m never gonna get Raymond. And even if I do, it’s gonna feel weird because of his huge price tag. I also refuse to ever grind for 2k tickets just to have him in my town.
Also greediness with entry fees has me really wondering, I love the community but it definitely feels really tense right now.

 

[Eirrinn]

You can if you want I just wanted to get rid of them haha I’m currently spamming nook miles tickets to try to get Raymond or Tangy so urn mgiht take me a bit

Whenever's convenient for you tbh! :> Thank you so much aaa!

Wait really? When he said “partner” I thought it referred to them as buddies or something like that. I didn’t really read it as them being in a relationship.

It reminds me of how Gracie’s gender was changed during localization and how in Japan, Gracie was a male character but in the US, Gracie is female.

You aren't the only one @trashpedia. I read it as business partners too. I guess we are at a time that whenever anyone sees the word "partner" it means romantic partner. The weirdness of an ever-evolving language.

Yep, me too, then I saw this video

Obviously, it could very well be just the case of people projecting what they want to see, but there's also the case about the princesses shown later on the same video, which means that yeah, the localization team probably left that ambiguous in a way that wouldn't explicitly say they're gay, but would let it implied by using an ambiguous word.

What did CJ say before partner? Boyfriend?

Friend

I very much dislike the grid system everything is on, it drives me up a wall that I can't sit something in the middle of a square or the fence has to be all the way to the left or right.

Also, I hate the excessive amount of eggs you find. I need fish for bells dang it.
