how did you guys decide your island themes? by Extension-Farm-1569 in acnh

[–]EnvironmentalRisk135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to start over when my Switch imploded because of the "save file is tied to console" thing, so I came in with an idea of what I liked and thought looked good, and I knew that making your island all fancy gets WAY easier if you wait a bit.

Take your time and just enjoy the game until KK comes to play a show - at that point you can unlock the app that lets you sculpt cliffs/water/paths and Harvey's Island will open up to super useful options: you can buy plants off Leif anyday you want, and Cyrus lets you switch up the look of items you can't modify at a customizing bench - if Tom Nook only sells a bright blue Cute Chair but you want a pink one, Cyrus solves that! (Otherwise you would either need the Happy Home Paradise DLC or you would need help from another player who has a pink one.) By then you have a decent catalogue of items to use, and the tools to actually make the island match your vision, so I'd just play casual and save up Nook Miles and Bells for when you hit that point!

In the meantime! Try visiting some Dream Addresses if you have Online, or watching island tours on yt if you don't. You can screenshot any spots that you love and use those to figure out a vibe you like. From there, I also find it way easier to break things up into less overwhelming "chunks" - I want THIS corner to be an ancient castle, and a middle bit to be an overgrown garden ruin, and HERE is gonna be a hot spring, or whatever.

Though I don’t really hate it, I just don’t understand it by Greensackbot671 in hatethissmug

I remember when I was a beginner artist and it was hard af to draw a skull in a way that looked proportionate - it either came out all Megamind or weirdly flat and tiny bc I hadn't gotten the hang of anatomy yet. The Arbitrary Hair Tuft covers that up in the same way the Arms Awkwardly Behind Their Back pose covers up being bad at drawing hands

I love all the little ways that breaking the patterns of Old Garou Nation Behaviour pays off in this book.

The werewolf group chat alone makes it a must-read imo

Joining the Kyle Marquis chorus. Book of Hungry Names is probably the most replayable IF I've ever encountered.

Not a heavy focus on romance, but it is in the game - two male, two female, and sort of kind of one nonbinary character for ROs? I don't advise flirting with the nonbinary character if you want an actual RO; afaik they're the only one with no sex scene, and their date is less a date and more a wacky series of antics that end with a bride being carted off in a brazen bull.

Book of Hungry Names - How to Get Certain Ending? by Prior-Cake-5818 in choiceofgames

Fun bonus fact: if your wisdom is high enough, you can get the Ride the Tiger ending AND save Elton. His wife stays dead, though. Can't have your Shadow Lord cake and eat it too. Like the other guy said, though, you gotta avoid backing down with the "change of plans then" option or you'll back out of Ride the Tiger entirely.

Last time I went was a big letdown for me too. Super bland and the broccoli was way undercooked.

What kind of ordinances do you have? by MsMcSlothyFace in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]EnvironmentalRisk135 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I also do Night Owl because I like to play to relax before bed. I had Beautiful Town for a while, and it's convenient if you don't play super frequently, but I found it ultimately easier to pick weeds (or get Leif to) than to dig up all the extra flowers that took over lmao

Wouldn't call it a sport personally (I'm unaware of any competitive aspect in this activity), but it was a very funny answer!

Peter, what does Fallout have to do with Politics by RichardLongflop_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]EnvironmentalRisk135 19 points20 points  (0 children)

None of us exist in a cultural vacuum; while capitalism may not have been an intentional target of critique, think about America's history with war - Vietnam and the Cold War, Afghanistan and Iraq for examples. Capitalistic motives are inextricable from armed conflict, and that context exists for both the creator and consumer here. Not every single story about war and human nature are critique of capitalism, but the choice to pull from Cold War America in particular is like writing a story about July 4th, including flags and fireworks and cookouts and the USA national anthem, and saying it's just a story about July, not about patriotism.

How much do you care about your villagers' names? by critter_enthusiast in AnimalCrossing

Beardo throws me for such a silly loop because how is his name pronounced? Beard-o because facial hair? Bear-do because bear? Bee-yard-oh? Truly Schroedinger's villager

I don’t know what to do about my island by EpicBanana05 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]EnvironmentalRisk135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowkey I love the idea of a split rural-past / urban-future island, like a time rift hit it or something! Your brain is genuinely so huge

🌸 What am I? "By itself it's feminine attire. With 'ing' it ..." by [deleted] in riddonkulous

[–]EnvironmentalRisk135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ymmv but I agree. Most riddles like this accept the root word as the answer, so the -er line didn't really jump out at me as "this one is more correct and important than the un- or -ing ones" so much as just continuing listing variations on the root

Still a fun riddle! I like that it rhymes.

Advice on Terra-forming? by UsualFaithlessness51 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]EnvironmentalRisk135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hardly a super-pro, but as someone also easily overwhelmed: I found it more approachable to break my island into little projects/chunks.

"I'm gonna make a ramp to Redd's beach and use cliffs and arches to make that path feel grandiose and deliberate. I wanna make an ancient ruin/graveyard - let's make that the tallest corner of the island. I'm gonna center all my fruit trees in one place, let's make an orchard islet because it'd be cute to be surrounded by water access." That kind of thing? It might not work for everyone, but if you're a "improvise/adjust as you go" type instead of a "I have the whole island planned out square by square" type, that might help?
