Everybody is making up these silly and great island names. Y'all making me look like a try hard with Muspelheim.

I'm hoping (Island Name) Isle is a suffix option so BEEF Isle can become a juicy reality

That one's almost cheating though since you could spell it all out anyway (Note: I would fully support that choice)

Bad news: I am working from home and in self quarantine because someone at my office building tested positive.

Good news: Animal crossing comes out in 4 days!!!!

Best news: I added myself to the goonlist. I promise not to cough on any of my island furniture if you visit!

Edit: Oh hey I'd like to be a Raccoon Goon if that's still a thing that is happening currently or in the near present

When I first got ACNL, I named my town "Funky" thinking there would be an automatic -town suffix at the end. I was super disappointed but never bothered changing it. Not sure if I'll stick with that or not.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Between the long wait between releases, the pandemic where everyone is stuck inside (and along with that, this game offers a nice escape), and absolutely glowing reviews, this game is gonna be massive for nintendo.

one thing I can't tell from the reviews. Some people are saying the exploration islands are all in your same hemisphere/season but I thought it was implied the randomization element means even seasons are random, for bug hunting and all. Was that never confirmed and just fan theory?

Bro imagine if amidst this quarantine instead of releasing an Animal Crossing game with daily/weekly checklists, Nintendo released old Animal Crossing where fossils took a day to process and you can only do 3 per day, and you couldn't get all the tools in the first couple days, and you couldn't run over flowers, and Nook's Cranny closed before the sun went down irl.

New Leaf took me a while to get all the tools, especially since I shared my town and got beat to it sometimes. For too-long my and my co-villager at the time would just drop the tools to share communist style. I think I had island access for a week before I could even get a wetsuit.

As for fossils, I honestly wouldn't mind the mailing em in thing, if they would just keep it if it wasn't a duplicate. Like, I'd love to avoid Blathers (hard pass on bug haters imo), so if I could mail em, write my letter, and they just take it and set it up at museum.

Speaking up letters, I wonder how/if they've improved their language detection. I assume probably not much, too many languages to bother, but idk maybe localization teams love it. IIRC in New Leaf, the rules were pretty obtuse and the "best" letter you could write would end up being some nonsense like
code:
A. A. A. A.  A. A. A. A.   A. A. A. A.A.
 A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.A. 
 A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.A.

I don't think that's been confirmed and it's the first time I hearing it suggested. AFAIK I know the hemispheres have "opposite" seasons but both proceed linearly in the common seasonal fashion.

Still racking my brains trying to think of a good island name. I decided to look to my local area for inspiration. Now I'm amused and slightly concerned.

facial hair looks weird on animal crossing villagers, ngl

It reminds me of a soft ladybeard . I wonder if its because that beard didn't connect to sideburns? Maybe there are other beards but if not, I did without them before!

I'm not going to get the game until late Friday now. My brother said he'd get it for my birthday last month and I said I wanted a digital copy, so he could just PayPal me the money for it if he wanted.

Instead he went to GameStop to preorder for a midnight release of a digital copy of the game.

A midnight release that is no longer happening. So he said he'd pick it up after work Friday instead :smith:

This pandemic is even getting in the way of Animal Crossing!

It's real nice to see a nice island, instead of the absolute kips some reviewers are trying to show off today.

New slang2me, is "kips" small and wimpy or just unimpressive? Maybe like "crap?"

I hope the map planner updates with the new info added. The new confirmed limits drastically limit what kind of terraforming can be done. I had plenty of ideas before, but I naively thought we'd be able to edit the beaches and edges. Working with those things will take more planning than I initially though/
