Another spring commute
Peach island on my first try :smug:

First loan payment down but that doesn't mean poo poo, 5K miles was trivial and I assume it'll ramp up. Hoping I wake up tomorrow to a lot of respawned wood because goddamn are there things I want to build.

Peaches, green airport, Pashmina and Coach (meh on both of them tbh).

How the hell do I get sleeves when I apply a design to a shirt? Everything I make from my designer seems to come out sleeveless when I apply it to my top.

You can buy a upgraded design app stuff once you get nook miles+ from nook. Gives access to design short/mid/long sleeve shirts, a few dresses, robes, even hats with paintable brims

I got deirdre, jay, peaches and I forgot to even register what the airport colour was. deirdre was totally annoyed with me when I wouldn't stop chatting with her lol I'm already alienating my friends! thou her constant "whatevs" are tiresome so maybe she should be thankful I'm listening to her at all! hmrf.

As a complete newbie to this franchise I wasn't sure how I'd take to it but early results are extremely positive. it's the exact game I need right now. didn't realize I'd have so much fun doing nothing!

only regret is that I didn't capitalize the first letter of my user name and it'll totally annoy me for a bit. otherwise: joy. pure joy.

K, done for the night. I got apples (had peaches last time so can't complain), a green airport and Rocket and Flip who are an uchi gorilla and jock monkey respectively (in animalistic racism I assumed it was the opposite when I first saw them, go figure). Kinda sucks since those are two of my least favorite animal types but part of the charm of AC is letting certain villagers grow on you. Rocket was still awake when it turned to real time but Flip was passed the gently caress out in his tent. Guessing he'll be up early doing squats or something.

Same for Flo and Antonio respectively. Iirc, villagers have bedtimes according to their personality types? Maybe?

That's right! I'm the counting sheep, Meeko. And I'm a proper sheep youkai!

Managed to get peaches, good rivers, but meh villagers (some bad monkey and jock goat). Game's cozy and good right from the start, the graphics bump is pretty amazing, played until I got my house, tool ring, and first inventory expansion then called it a day. Nook Miles + is amazing for people like me who just wanna play Five More Minutes.

also dunno if anyone posted about it yet, thread moving fast, but there's free rug DLC if you're a NSO subscriber in the eshop.

Oh, and before I go off for the night, my favorite small touch was the breeze through the trees. I don't know if it's always like that (that would be pretty realistic for islands) but it's such a nice atmospheric touch.

Man. The AC nostalgia hit me like a truck. I drat near almost cried when they all clapped for my town name.

Finished all the first day stuff, I think. Collected 5 fish to get Blathers, got enough Nook miles to pay off my house. Got all the weeds from the accessible parts without the vaulting pole, went more in debt for a house upgrade. All is good.

e: Oh, I got plucky and Buck. Buck went to sleep, but man - I think I love Plucky.

First impressions are good, but yeah I hate the durability a lot! Stop putting it in games please!

After two hours Marlen island
*Has Blathers on the way
*House is paid off, earned a total of 9,000 miles. Also bought the better tools thing but no iron so woops
*16-17 insects fish waiting for Bird to arrive. Got wasp and 2 tarantulas so scorpions are the only violent assholes I need
*Phoebe and Roald are my Friends



It's good but god the starting area is way way too tiny. I can't wait to get the vaulting pole or ability to make bridges and whatnot.

Does anybody know of a good way to tell where bridges would be? top left looks like a good island, but bad bridges could ruin it pretty easily, might do top right instead.



Also why does everybody want peaches?

Spent longer than I expected resetting because I kept getting a terrible villager, or like... two bears, or two birds, and I wanted a bit of variety, come on, game! Finally ended up with the island of Sunberry, Cherry the dog and Kody the bear, and cherries as my fruit. Think I got an okay-ish layout? Caught both the wasps that chased after me, surprising myself with my non-rusty net skillz. Managed to get Blathers tent all set up, but now I desperately need sleep.

Hopefully Sunberry will be open for fruit tradin' before too long!

By the way Tarantulas aren't poo poo. They work like they do in the old game, just pull your net out and slowly walk to them. If it rears up stop and wait for it to sit back down. Then inch closer and closer. It'll never chase you or get pissed as long as you're slow and they sell for 8k

Well at the start, there are no bridges, so any place beyond the rivers from where your airport/resident services plaza are is inaccessible. From what I've read, within a few days you get a pole that lets you vault over rivers whenever you want, and building bridges (that you place yourself) comes later still.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I reset eight or ten times trying to get cherries, my first ever fruit back on the GC. I gave up and settled with apples (never had them before), blue airport, and Tammy and Tank.

Got Blathers and a new house waiting for me tomorrow, if I can make it through the workday.

feels good to be crossing animals again

I haven't played Animal Crossing since it came out on Gamecube, I can't believe it's been almost 20 years. It's been bringing back memories of playing Gamecube back as a child. I got Sylvia and Sterling as villagers, they seem pretty chill.

The bridges go wherever you decide to place them.

I am the Walrus.

What a great first night. I loved roaming around my island at night, just relaxing, catching fish and bugs and listening to the music.

I rerolled maybe 4 or 5 times. Mostly to get an island I was really happy with. Ended up having an "island within an island" map which I think is fun, got Flo and Genji, cherries, and a yellow airport. Not so sure I'm a fan of the yellow airport but happy enough with everything else.
