How do I avoid exploding my rocks? I'm never going to get this shop.

Forgive my unchill, but gently caress Nintendo for only allowing 1 island per switch. Sharing an island with my 6 year old who can play for 6 hours a day and has now destroyed every rock on our island (among other things) is testing my patience. I just wanted a solo zen garden to chill out on but NO Nintendo has REASONS or something. :(

Yeah you have to pull them off the sd card. The twitter uploads have terrible compression.

Ahhhhh ok that’s what was baffling me. So screen capture on the switch, pull the SD card where the pics are stored (I’m assuming you have to instruct the settings to point there first) and then download to your computer and hey ho. Yes?

I'm not wild about the smoothing filter that gets applied to custom designs - it definitely makes doing any kind of detail work way more difficult. Everything else about the editor is great though.

Don't eat fruit. Fruit gives you energy which lets you break rocks and dig up fully grown trees.

Is there an upgrade that allows you to rearrange stock in your inventory? I'm going insane.

My only other gripe so far is that villager housing plots are massive despite the house being like half the size. I'm going to run out of room before I can terraform.

Yes, if one is blocked in and in attack mode, other tarantulas won’t attack!!

They don't, actually! They let you set a Switch-wide "limit" per day. Once all users cumulatively hit that limit then... it plays a little alarm sound. That's it.

Anyway, it's less about that and more that I really just want my own island where I can faff around and pick my own villagers and the like in peace.

Do you need turnips for any DIY recipes? My schedule means I'll never see Daisy Mae unless I bring my Switch to work, I don't want to offset my clock, and I never liked playing the Stalk Market anyway.

If you don't want to share your toys with the 6 year old either ban them from playing it or buy a second console would be my advice.

Yep I banned my 6 year old completely from my switch. I'm considering buying him one, though. That's pretty much the only way to do it.

gently caress Wasps Forever: either have your net out if shaking trees, or have your net to the side of your axe in your inventory if chopping. Using left or right on the d-pad to switch to the net pauses the game just enough to give you time to angle yourself and catch the wasps as they show up.

Yeah I know. I'm not really asking for advice and I'm not going to spend another $300+. I just wish Nintendo wouldn't do stupid poo poo for opaque reasons.

I'm literally a 3d environment artist for a living so my brain is broken and Animal Crossing is precisely engineered to tap into it. I'm not mad at my son at all. Just disappointed in general and frustrated at Nintendo. Ignore me. Quarantine got me all stressed.

Oh no its today
Nintendo still has that "don't put anything on the Internet" mindset that parents had in the 90s. Whenever they add online to a game, in any form, they suddenly become ultra paranoid and do stupid poo poo like only allow one island per Switch.

I guess you could make a deal that one corner of the island is a protected zone and the kids can wreck the rest? After a little progress you can probs move the house and make some fences and such.

I unlocked the catch-5-wasps-in-a-row achievement just now :smuggo:

but yeah it comes down to making a deliberate tree-shaking tune with your net out the whole time

Oranges are native here, though all the trees have been plucked dry. Saplings for other fruit have been planted, but it will probably be another couple if days for them.

Oh, I figured out how to do inventory organization. Press and hold A on something and you can freely move it around. This also lets you reconsolidate split stacks if, say, you didn't buy all your turnips in one go or something.

I have a question about online play... This is my Switch, with my Nintendo Account and an individual Nintendo Online plan. I made my girlfriend a user profile that isn't linked to an account, since she doesn't play games on her own, but she's enjoying Animal Crossing, and you need a separate profile to make a Villager.

If she wants to visit other people's islands and have people come visit her Villager, can I link her profile to my Nintendo Account so both her profile and mine are on the same account? Or would I need to purchase a family plan for our two accounts?

I've tried this rock bashing timing technique, but when I press A right as I bonk a rock, my dude just stops. So I'm resorting to button mashing. And I've been using an axe to bash rocks but now I'm starting to think maybe shovels are better?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I use a shovel and dig the few holes before doing it. Pressing A as I bonked never worked for me, so what I did was watched my villager's eyes. The moment they revert out of the O_O shocked face to their regular eyes I found I could hit A again for another swing and since learning this I've always gotten the full 8 pieces.
