Looks like some GameStops are letting people pick up preorders early.

There's a lot of employees who are quitting after today so I assume anyone getting AC from GameStop today got one from an employee who gives no fucks anymore.

Stardew Valley (and pretty much any Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons) always stressed me out because of that dang clock. I know they're supposed to be pretty easy going games, but the days always feel like they run out too fast, I can't get enough done! Maybe because of all the years I spent playing AC before even touching one of those games.

Anyways I'm just gonna chill to my favorite OG track until the game drops. I haven't read the spoilers, and I don't plan to, so I'm just going to blindly hope they let you choose from the previous games' soundtracks at some point. Or maybe it will be DLC?

It is definitely chill. So chill in fact that it runs in real time and as such you sometimes need to wait actual days for things to complete. I would read up a bit on how the series works in general, but odds are good you'll enjoy it.

I'm in the weird position right now of being equally excited for this and Doom Eternal. I'm going to have an interesting weekend.

Speaking of this, do you have any recommended reading on how these games work? (I'm sure I could just pick it up but I like having a little info going into most games anyway)

Do we know how island naming works? I found the character limit but does "Island" follow the name you give it? Either way I'm naming mine Koholint and hoping I can put a gigantic egg in the center of it someday.

no, it'll only be referred to as 'koholint', not ever 'koholint island/isle/etc'

I've got a poll on Twitter for my island name which is three references and one original name and the original name is winning.

Why on (under) earth would you name an island D'ni instead of say Myst, Stoneship, <insert random D'ni-language name from later games>, etc? :v:

Also I'm chuckling at getting spoiled for JoJo stand names in the AC thread (only up to Alessi in the Egypt arc so far).

We really need to get this put in the OP :v: There is no Island suffix, the 10 characters is it, that's all we get!

stardew valley is amazing but it needs to be played on pc so you can put in a mod to let you control the time.

Ok, so I know this question has been asked repeatedly, but I am dumb and could use someone to tell me if I have this correct or not.

My partner and I have 2 switches. We both want to play AC. So we could:

1. Play on the same island -
We could do this with one copy of the game, where the primary switch has the secondary account and the other switch uses the primary account?
I assume they would be able to locally connect once I start the island (or vice versa)?

2. Play on different islands -
This would need 2 copies of the game, and a family subscription to Nintendo Online right? Then we would just visit each others island when we want. Or can you do it all locally and avoid the online subscription?

If you're going to play on the same island you only need one copy on one switch, because you can only live on the same island in local as in same-system multiplayer.

That patch was already in development before the virus became a pandemic.

I'm asking because Sakurai said that if someone at Sora or Namco Bandai was found to have it, they would have to close down the building and halt development. However, I don't know how Nintendo would handle it themselves

Compared to this:



While neither is bad, the newest pattern maker retains the original image's dimensions, somewhat.
