Welp, at least now I have a flawless island name if the character limit is 8.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.
If you're having trouble coming up with a town name, just choose the name of an Ultraman monster. I'm going with Peguila. You could call your town Magular, or Takkong, or Geozark!

I am curious to see how contests have been updated. If nothing else, it would be nice to see them happen with a bit more frequency.

Biggest thing about this is that it might just be cosmetic. Villagers in New Leaf would walk around fruit orchards with fishing equipment just to look busy and would never actually do anything- or stand still in the fishing animation doomed to never leave unless you do a screen transition

I see villagers holding stuff in NH but not actually doing anything yet.

We haven't seen them do anything substantial outside, just pop a squat randomly or get their net ready to catch a bug before you swoop like an rear end in a top hat to catch it before them.

But there is video of a villager dusting their house prepping for HHA and one working at their workbench that will give you a new recipe if you talk to them.

We’ve seen a villager stalk a bug in a trailer. We’ve also seen them water flowers and it leave the flowers actually watered.

Is this some internal attempt to keep the hype in check? Worrying about how lifeless and bland the villagers are going to be?

My sister and I have always named our town Onett since GCN, but this time I wanted to switch it up. Our characters are named Mirasol (Spanish for Sunflower) and Poppy (Spanish: Amapola), so we’re naming it Mirapola island, which thankfully my sisters degree in Spanish can confirm doesn’t mean something unfortunate like Buttflower or something.
Anyway, if you read all that thank you for caring.

For what it's worth, there's a subset of Animal Crossing players who got a brain worm in 2005 or so and have been unceasingly grieving this change ever since. Some scientists believe the only way to get the worm out is to pretend to be villagers and be mean to these people directly so that the parasite can start stage 2 of its life cycle.

So I'm literally buying a switch so I can play AC, but I had no money when the special edition one came out and now it's not available anywhere for preorder, so I'm just praying they'll have more available on the 13th. In the meantime now I'm stressed I can't get a pretty pastel switch. :smith:
