I don't usually vent but here goes.
This is not aimed directly aimed towards the game, but I hate how social media causes a lot of unnecessary chaos (such as Raymond craziness, time traveling, etc.). As a person who barely uses it and sees insane posts there, I shake my head that people are losing their heads over something fairly minor? Also, it seems to be a deadly space where people spread misinformation and create fear towards others. Let's not get started on the explicit material that slips through the cracks... I bet you a million bells that if social media did not exist, none of this would have happened. Or at the very least these problems are minimal.
As for the Youtubers, I don't know what to say since I avoid big channels, but they give me a certain vibe that makes me feel unwelcome and not genuine. Clickbait titles, constantly reminding viewers to subscribe (my sub box is already cluttered), and just jumping on the bandwagon really. I play Animal Crossing to have a good time and make memories with my sister and animals, not to be famous for 10 minutes. And if your main purpose is to do just that, it's pretty tiring if you think about it.

So I met Astrid at my campsite, and invited her to my island, a couple days ago. I didn't realize how relatively colorless and strange-looking she is without the default white shirt with colorful stars she used to wear prior to NH. That was like her entire appeal, lol. Instead she now wears a black t-shirt dress (the sealion one). Why'd they do that? I mean it's a small thing sure, and she is my villager now, but it makes me wonder what kind of thought went into giving villagers their default shirts this time around. For some (like Roald's red flannel) it's a home run, for others not so much.
If I find that shirt in the Able Sisters that's going to her ASAP.

What I think explains this is that “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” creators and developers made choices that, for the game-players, turned out to become compromises.
In “New Horizons,” we get to do with our islands basically whatever we want; most obviously, this is with terraforming. We can’t move Resident Services. But all other buildings, including houses, can be moved for the sake of making our islands have layouts we appreciate.
That was not possible in “New Leaf.” The only things we could move were Public Works Projects which were not permanent.
In “New Leaf,” every item that can be customized was customizable in town. Just take that item to Re-tail, pay for Cyrus to perform the job, and you were good.
In “New Horizons,” some items can be customized but a lot of items—especially household items—are not.
Why did “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” creators and developers do this?
I think it is because of stretching the life of the game. It costs millions to create, develop, manufacture, promote, and sell the game. They don’t intend to turn around with a brand-new version—say, “Animal Crossing: Planet Life”—and go through their processes too soon. There is no guarantee that each successive edition will be a success to the degree needed for the business that is Nintendo.
So, a decision like this is made to keep game-players occupied and to keep playing, playing, playing.
They likely figured they did not have to have a complete game. Usage of the Internet makes it possible to deliver “updates” and “special events.”
So, we can continue with our great anticipation of what may lie ahead.
In my “Rant,” I was expressing a part of “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” that I now find to be a nuisance.
I recently came across and watched a YouTube-published video in which the content creator reported that it has been observed, by a game-player who brought it to his attention, that the color of an island’s airport determines the colors of particular items of, say, outdoor pieces of furniture.
This does not surprise me.
We game-players feel mixed results over this. Some colors we want. Some other colors we do not want.
This is a deliberate choice to motivate game-players to be and stay involved with playing “New Horizons” for years to come. I understand. But, I do have this “Rant” that is applicable to this thread’s topic.
I hate having to grind for this stuff because, frankly, I am not always in the mood. Really—I could go buy another game console and retail game and come through with an island which produces different colors; do however many resets; and grind. Or, I could I aggressively monitor for threads—here or elsewhere—and pursue what my island (and homes) are lacking in order to further build the catalog. No matter—this is an absolute grind. And for what? So that I can make, for example, my island representative’s house appear as being fitting for the No. 1 person on the island. (Yes—it does boils down to that.)
This is a good topic.
I appreciate these Rants.

I never got the low table on my main account, either, and I definitely wasn't time traveling.
Funny enough though, my player 2 account got it.
It never occurred to me that both accounts should have gotten the DIY.
However, my partner who also plays shares my exact same experience - they never got the low table DIY on their main account, but they got it on their player 2 account.
I'm confused.
You still can get all the fruits without going online
You can receive foreign fruit in the mail, and we all have a sister fruit island with NMTs
I only obtained peaches from mom, cherries from the sister island. So villagers can send other fruit?

New leaf had diving, more customization,gyroids,silver tools, more fish and bugs, MORE home upgrades, and more importantly, VISUAL WEAR ON YOUR TOOLS! Why, nintendo, why dont you bring more good stuff?
The dataminers may need to look into it but I assume so. I'm thinking there's a chance to receive more fruit from your mom time to time. The main problem is it seems the chance of villagers sending you mail seems very low in this game.
What would it take to pay someone to sit down and write some more villager dialogue for an hour. It doesn't sound too unreasonable.

Hmm... I think you might be right! I've heard other things from New Leaf were removed in New Horizons (such as being able to sell forged art)...I don't know why they'd go backward for New Horizons other than to keep players playing, as you said. They really need to make it possible to change color schemes. I kinda feel bad for those that can't go online so they have to rely almost entirely on random drops from trees, balloons, and animal villager gifts...

Someone asked for 150NMT for a FLIPPEN Mush Lamp DIY!!! The heck. I'm really annoyed right now!! Might as well ask for my arms, legs and first born!!
There's a lot that bugs me about this game (and it's because I like it and want it to be perfect) but right now my biggest gripe has to be the lackluster events. I did Stamp Day one time and even then I was laughing at how uneventful it felt and how it seemed like they put the minimal effort into it.
Now whenever I talk to Blathers to access fossils I have to hear him go on about how Stamp Day is still going on even though nothing has changed. And then we get kicked out of his dialogue so we have to open it again to get the fossils assessed.
I would rather have an event that was only one day that a lot of effort was put into instead of some minimal effort event that goes on for week(s). I don't know if this is something close to how Pocket Camp's events were handled because I never played it. Bunny Day kind of did the same thing although it at least involved interaction more. It should've never been a week long though, where you're getting eggs from all your resources when you already have triple the amount you need.
And it was annoying catching water eggs during the fishing tourney. They could've programmed water eggs to not spawn on the fishing tourney day. It was a simple oversight they looked over. I mentioned it here, but the fishing tourney was literally just one of the NL Island's fishing tours reused in lieu of a event.
And it sucks that there will be four more throughout the yearly season that are probably the same exact thing. I pushed myself to get all the medals so I don't see myself bothering with the other three. I will just do it one time to get the Nook Mile badge and that's it. Most of CJ's prizes look like stuff they could've sold at Nooklings and no one would had known any better. It's a downgrade from the stuff Chip gave us. I actually actively participated in all the fishing tournaments just to get those wacky fish furniture. A coral bed, angler fish lamp, crab clock and more? That's the wacky zany AC I know. The stuff CJ gives is too common and modern.
And Chip only gave so many per event, which gave us reason to keep participating in them. If CJ's prizes stay the same I bet there won't be many bothering with the event the next three times. Unless it's their first time.
I'm a little worried how events like Halloween and Christmas will play out (among the other popular ones) Heck they got rid of April Fools and that one was kind of fun trying to deduce who was the dopple-ganger.
