yeah, uh, buddy, if you're trying to catch a stringfish and you're getting sturgeon then you've made a grave mistake in your placement

sturgeons are from river mouths as they meet the ocean

stringfish are from the rivers up on the cliffs


I'm aware, I was on a Nook Miles island that was mostly clifftop with a single river mouth. I would have to go down to the river mouth to scare away fish and force respawns up on the cliff, and there was a sturgeon there like 50% of the time. I caught them so the trip would not be a total waste of two hours.

I seriously can NOT believe how garbage tier the multiplayer on this game is.

I can’t leave an island if someone is in a conversation?

40 minute unskippable cinematics every few seconds on popular island

My one? If you bookmarked the exact page, that might be my fault - I moved some stuff when I added in the Southern Hemisphere data.

Try https://smrvll.com/acnh/. Hopefully it works for you - it seems ok from this end.

If not, I’ll have to fix it in the morning (I’m in the UK and really ought to be asleep by now).

Edit: I’ve put a redirect from the original URL in now, so with any luck today’s screwing around doesn’t cause anyone else any problems.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...

Lol yeah going to islands that get posted on here or Reddit is a recipe to sit in place for 30 minutes as you watch a ton of cut scenes.

Best part about Nintendo is I know for a fact that it won’t be changed or made better.

Yeah, it's pretty hilarious and terrible that one single person shopping for clothes or wallpapers or talking to a villager locks up joining or leaving the island for everyone. This game is awesome, but some of the design decisions are insanely bad and I'm convinced that Nintendo intentionally sabotages online play in their games.

Plus the netcode is a goddamn mess. I lost clothes from Mabel on a goon island earlier and had to buy them a second time. Why did they go for peer-to-peer when Switch Online is a pay service?

probably extreme future proofing. you get routed through nintendo's servers now, but what happens when switch online is discontinued in a decade and a half?

it's the exact opposite of how they (want to lmao) do crystal chronicles: punch through our central square enix servers ONLY and once we take them down you'll ALL WISH you'd played cc online when you had the CHANCE

people attributing malice to the online is pretty silly

i think it's simply that nintendo didn't think "people have their islands open constantly and have several dozen people trying to connect/leave at any time" would be the main use case for players & had it as an option just because they could

Kinda feels like the "every issue relating to the online in this game" stuff should have come up when they decided to allow eight players to join one game though.
