The ACNH Rant Thread

[Romaki]

Spoiler: Rant Meta

Sometimes people just want a discussion.

And sometimes people just want to start drama. You really don't start a discussion by dissing something people like, and that's honestly what a lot of the rant threads are about. It's never asking about other people's opinions, it's always about stating theirs. I have yet to see a rant thread where someone just asks why other people like one thing. Everybody needs to vent sometimes, but that's why we have this thread.


Making the 20th thread about the OST is spam, but those usually don't devolve into arguments because the opening post isn't inflammatory.
We always need new threads to keep this forum alive, but who wants to discuss someone's opinion about a topic that was already discussed?
Honestly if people want a discussion, they can go to a thread that already exists. There's no rule against continuing a discussion of an old thread.

I really hate how bells are handled in the inventory. Once you reack 100k, you'll just keep 99k on you and the rest goes into your inventory which I find annoying but that could be personal preference. But then you collect more bells from money rocks f.e. and it's all collected individually. Not sure if I remember correctly, but didn't 99k become an items once you reached 100k in New Leaf? And the rest should just merge automatically, but I don't know if that ever happened in an Animal Crossing game. Is there a banking app later on? I hope so.

I haaaaaate the stupid dialogue about burying bells
"oh you buried bells yesterday??? did you???? like you do EVERYDAY???? damn be careful I never found my bells when I did that!!!!"
please shut up I get this dialogue from all my villagers at least 3 times a day. I bury bells every day. It is a game mechanic. I have been playing this game for 2 months leave me alone

All of the "activity" dialogue is like that, like I don't need you to repeat what I did. It feels very unnatural too, but especially with money trees they act as if they are impossible as if the villager didn't see and sit at the money trees you planted. Very weird choices there.

Sometimes people just want a discussion. When you post a rant in the rant thread people usually don’t respond to it, they just like it or scroll by it. At least with a thread you actually have people able to respond to it than just feel like it’s being ignored. That’s why I don’t really bother typing up huge rants in this thread because it will be a waste of my time for a like instead of people actually having a discussion about it.

I saw your thread asking about if others stopped playing. That was fine. Nothing against threads like those. Shame it ended up so nasty.

I was thinking more about threads that seem like they were made for the sake of venting, instead of an actual discussion.

Oh I see. I don’t know if I’ve seen threads like that recently but I’m trying to stay away from making any threads or posting a lot because it’s always turned sour. So I was just speaking from experience. Could you say an example of what the thread would be like?

 

[daisyy]

I also wish we could store the DIYs because the storage could alphabetize it for you to make it easier to find the DIY's you're selling and giving away. At a certain point, I had a huge pile of DIYs (100+) that i had to slowly hover over to find which ones are being sold, it was very tedious and I just sold everything to timmy and tommy to be free of the pile.

yes omg this. i want to save these and help others out, whether thru giveaways or selling but i can't be bothered when it's such a hassle to keep track of these. if i can't immediately give away a DIY, it's being sold, even the rare ones

Why is iron so annoying to get? Aaaaaahhhh

I can give you a stack for fish bait...?

Uh...Threads that are like hey, I love this game, but I hate these things. Or I have these nitpicks about the game and all that. It's possible they wanted to discuss something, but I didn't really check. Some "I hate Raymond" threads were made for the sake of drama as well iirc.

Maybe the negativity from various threads has been getting to me. Some threads, like yours, end up going south pretty badly.

i wish that when i gave a villager an expensive gift they gave more gratitude lmao. i just dropped 100k on this for you Teddy and all you did was give me an ugly shirt

 

[Le Ham]

I had a white harp in my pockets cause I was gonna let some friends catalog it... but then Marina gave me a really hard time because she wanted it. Saying no hurt, I don't like saying no to my fictional animal pals let alone real people, but I had to. Glad she told me I didn't owe her anything at the end, but eugh

also, I'm not really annoyed or frustrated by this, but

when villagers run up to you wanting to talk and then they be like "oh hey I actually just forgot what I was about to tell you haha"

who thought this would be a great idea for dialogue lol

that's actually happens because your pockets are full so they were probably going to give you something, but couldn't!

My pockets are almost never full, so it wasn't that! Not that I remember the circumstances perfectly, but I'm pretty sure it's not bc my pockets are full

Your pockets had to have been full. It's always because they want to give you something. Or maybe you didn't have any bells on you so they couldn't initiate a sell.

I mentioned it somewhere, but this is really lazy programming. They could had just not had the villagers ping for that if your storage was full, you had no bells, or whatever. There's really no excuse.

Okay, the low on bells one sounds more likely. I don't actually have a ton of bells at my disposal regularly, and I bought the expensive thing at Nook's today with just enough money, so my bell count was below 500 for a while. Was at like 260 or smth. That makes more sense, thank you for bringing that up!

Imagine if you'd get dialogue just before your tools break.

I just realized how many “guide dang it” type of features are in this game for people who are new to the entire series as a whole. (By guide dang it, I mean things that the game doesn’t tell you about that you’re supposed to figure out yourself or through the Internet. But some people might not use the internet so much for finding out AC info and might not know about a certain feature for months or even years.)

As a new player to AC, I wholeheartedly agree.

Also, with all the time traveling, duping, and whatevers going on, it's hard - if not impossible - to filter:

- what's possible, period
- what's possible now
- what's possible later
- what's been hacked (those trees)
- how you need to deal with villagers re: moving if you don't want to trigger something you don't want to
- how to navigate trades outside of family and friends
- what's fact versus what's opinion

I actually finally joined this forum because I needed some reliable information and so I could hopefully contribute to more reliable information.

For every "I love Raymond" thread that goes up, a "I hate Raymond" thread rises to meet it. It's ying-yang sort of thing. Just let the Raymond hype die.

Last night I thought about something that's been slightly bothering me.

In your inventory, why do fruits cap out at a stack of 10, all crafting items except weeds cap out 30, and weeds cap out at 99 like bells? It just struck me as odd? Mushrooms stop at 10 as well, so I guess edible items cap at that amount but then there isn't even an 'eat all' option so like: why?

I could free up so much space in my storage if at least all the crafting components could stack to 99.

As well as flowers and planted trees of the same types not stacking, I'm like why can't they implement the plant 1 option that they have on the fruit stacks? Something in the code I guess?

Speaking of fruit, anyone else miss the little fruit basket that would appear when you dropped a stack on the ground in NL?

dialogue is repetitive with villaagers..

dialogue is repetitive with villaagers..

This so much. Every time I talk to a villager I know they're just going to talk about what I did the other day. Right now it's fossils because I always dig for the fossils. Sometimes it's about the seashells because I collect them for crafting whenever I see them. It used to be about me shaking trees or fruit trees because I was going for the furniture shakedown and fruit selling Mile badge.

It's repetitive and boring.
