I think the game is fun. I don't like how restricted I feel in the beginning. Also crafting gets annoying with so little inventory space.

I’m very mixed on the crafting. It feels limiting at the start, but it also gives you some tasks to do, which can be rewarding to complete.

I am so digging being able to make so many different types of clothing, especially brimmed hats.

In one of the trailers we saw the character jump over the water by using a long stick. This way reaching the other parts of the island. how do you get this long stick? Did somebody get it already? Or do you need to build a bridge first.

You need to set up a new tent that Nook gives you after completing some tasks

Still can't figure out what I wanted to name my island...
I wanted to name it something as a tribute to Etika, since he was looking forward to this game so much, but I can't think of anything that is family-friendly or doesn't sound weird in context...
If I can't figure it out, I'll probably settle for something generic like "Outset Island" or something...

I was boring... so I named it Big Koon.

Anyone have S/N of the ACNH Joy-Con? Apparently that's what the game uses to give you the special edition Switch furnishing and I'd like to spoof my Joy-Con to test it.

it's just the joy-con colors. there's a link in the tutorial section for how to do it (since i'm new, i don't think i can link it myself)

With the update and Version 1.1.0 the bug is gone and animals are talking again.

Does the 1.1 update need 9.2 firmware? It seems yes, but will it work on 9.0? I am currently on 9.0 and dont want to officially update.

Since it is linked to Real time, you really have to wait 2 days? Or a day? Or can you "forward" it? Because I actually want play and not "wait" for the next day.

Other then that, game is super fun, I gonna buy it today. Just curious, if there is a cheaper way then 40 bucks.

Do we have a List of Amiibos yet, that are used for the Game? So I can write some? Since I use a Legit Switch to play Online.

You can't plant flowers anymore? Only using seeds? I'm honestly trying to put down some red and yellow lillies i got from other island but it won't plant. Either it gets dropped, buried or when i place it down it stays in a flower pot thing. Is it not the same as ACNL?

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
