This comes out a few days after my birthday. I better get gifted this or someone in my house is losing a limb.

My daughter was mostly into this this morning, but she also thought the game looked like more work than previous iterations.

ever deeper into debt
i see that i have chosen the perfect time of my life to finally get into animal crossing

does the game have some sort of lofty goal that seems attainable at first but becomes more and more impossible as the game progresses? if so, SOLD
― But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!😂 (Karl Malone), Thursday, 20 February 2020 16:12 (four years ago) link
i think your debt payments get progressively larger if that counts
― ciderpress, Thursday, 20 February 2020 16:16 (four years ago) link
:D oh yes, that counts
all dumb adult jokes aside, i am pretty excited to try it out. regardless of what the longtime fans think of this new entry, i'm pretty sure i'll be very happy with whatever they came up with.

I think my fave part of this game - heck, of a lot of nintendo games now I think on it - is the fishing. I fuckin hate fishing IRL but in games it is nice and peaceful.
(Was so bummed they had no fishing in BOTW even though fish were an integral part of the recipes)
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 23 February 2020 22:08 (four years ago) link
You could catch fish with your bare hands! Or blow them out of the water.

I usually electrocuted them with a few shock arrows and waded in and collected the corpses.

― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 24 February 2020 03:26 (four years ago) link
(I just googled "fishing with lighting" and got some hits of a fishing boat struck by lighting and the like. Reminds me of one of my kids years ago asking, as kids are wont to do, if a tornado had ever hit a train. I googled that, too, and what do you know, found an incredible video of a mounted train camera catching the train getting hit and then derailed by a tornado. The internet is terrible, but it is also awesome.)

every account on your switch gets their own character, i think theres a max of 8 accounts. you share an island if you're on the same system

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've got some seasonal Starry-sands flooring if anyone wants it
― Nhex, Monday, 20 July 2020 19:17 (three years ago) link
if you pick up the scallop when your pockets are full (so you drop something else first to pick it up) or if you're too close to the fence we've noticed it doesn't trigger pascal

Sometimes you need to catch two scallops and he shows up on the second. I’ve got three mermaid diys, the dress, and pearls so far.
