I have two switches in my house. I bought one digital copy of AC. How does that work?
― rb (soda), Thursday, 19 March 2020 23:59 (four years ago) link
you can install it on both but you can only play it on one switch at a time
― ciderpress, Friday, 20 March 2020 00:05 (four years ago) link
and your save is tied to the console so you'll have a different island on each afaik
― ciderpress, Friday, 20 March 2020 00:07 (four years ago) link
Popped into the local JB Hifi to pick up a copy this morning and the place had a small knot of nerds hovering at thr doors til they opened who all dashed in and grabbed their preorders.
...I felt so old!

Day one: need to drag my daughter away from the game for lunch. She loves it so far, though.

enjoying this, but in little doses! never played an AC game before :)

little doses is correct

It’s fun to talk to folks after you’ve been stung by wasps
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 21 March 2020 22:50 (four years ago) link
My daughter has already described it as a once a day sort of game.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 22 March 2020 00:44 (four years ago) link
i had a great time with it earlier, can't wait to pick it up again tomorrow morning. a house upgrade is coming tomorrow, as well as a new pair of eyeglasses! my island is called Boneyarden.
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 22 March 2020 00:47 (four years ago) link
i also got stung, and sold the wasp nest before realizing i needed it to craft medicine, before realizing i could just buy medicine
because it runs on real time you can't really marathon it any more than you can marathon cooking dinner or whatever
― ciderpress, Sunday, 22 March 2020 00:48 (four years ago) link
my daughter got the house upgrade today, and the axe and all sorts of other crap. she's a pro
I caught a squid tho
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 22 March 2020 00:51 (four years ago) link
also made myself some dope USA USA face paint
i also made weird face paint
this game rules tbh, i'm not glad i didn't play it before, but i'm glad to have my first time be right now
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 22 March 2020 00:52 (four years ago) link
i will invite people over to my island as soon as i figure out how to do it (unlock it) and spruce the place up a bit
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 22 March 2020 00:53 (four years ago) link
So is that how online works? You make your island, and you can invite internet people over? Does it still work on that follow the leader system, though? Where everyone basically has to do what you do and go where you go and work toward your goals?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 22 March 2020 02:30 (four years ago) link
Also, what weirdly great timing for the release of this game. Forget the Chinese and the CIA, I'm beginning to think this virus was designed by Nintendo.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 22 March 2020 02:42 (four years ago) link
the cost of this virus will never drop
― latin hypercube in shitspace (Sufjan Grafton), Sunday, 22 March 2020 03:26 (four years ago) link
the follow the leader system is for local multiplayer where you have one screen. online you can just do whatever on the other players islands, you can't change/destroy/steal their stuff though
― ciderpress, Sunday, 22 March 2020 03:55 (four years ago) link
one thing i was surprised by: tonight my partner joined my island. i thought she'd see my avatar walking around, but i'm gone! is that normal, or is that just because it's the first night for both of us? it was just kind of weird, like...why would be my tent and possessions be there, but my character is absent from the island?
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 22 March 2020 04:28 (four years ago) link
Man oh man is the online visitor system in Animal Crossing disruptive. 8 slots and each time someone either enters or exits everyone on the host island comes to a complete stop for like 35-90 seconds.

so you can only visit while friends are online? how do you keep the airport open for people to come by when you aren't playing?
― El Tomboto, Monday, 23 March 2020 02:09 (four years ago) link
the whole game takes place in the pre-object permanence stage of development, i guess
― Karl Malone, Monday, 23 March 2020 02:26 (four years ago) link
U guys know you can avoid the wasps if yr quick rite - run (walk and spam b) to the nearest doorway and go inside!
And yeah as far as I can tell going onto other ppls islands only works if you open your gates while playing. Oh! and you have to have a paid Nintendo account too, as me and Nick found out yesterday (luckily I'd already just done a family plan cos of Minecraft).
