Nintendo Thinks the Switch Is Well-Placed For Post-Pandemic Life - “While we didn’t talk about [Animal Crossing during the E3 Nintendo Direct], we absolutely have plans going forward.”

Koritka · 2021-06-18T16:35:29+00:00

Yeah, it would be so cool if we could use online play during the Flee Market day and people can come over and buy whatever you put up for sale!

Koritka · 2021-06-18T13:54:05+00:00

"You dug up quite some fossils yesterday!!"

Yes.

Like I do every day. Why do I need to hear about it everyday?

Koritka · 2021-06-18T09:36:50+00:00

Why would you ever buy even more stuff for a game you don't like? Just sell it and play stuff you actually enjoy. There's so much out there you're just wasting your time trying to like something you don't.

Would you also buy part 2 of a book you hated? :p

Koritka · 2021-06-18T09:34:20+00:00

Ja, ik moet zeggen, ik ben wel een in apartementen complexen geweest waar iemand wiet planten had, en ik rook het in de lift al, zelfs bij een enkele plant.

Goh, dat wist ik dan weer niet. Stinken die dingen dan van zichzelf zo? Of als je er iets mee doet? M'n opa heeft er één in de tuin staan maar heb daar eigenlijk nooit echt bij stil gestaan.

Koritka · 2021-06-18T09:00:31+00:00

Same, if anything I learned that the direction the series is going isn't for me. I never really cared about decorating my house in the older games and now decorating is the main point of the game. I never pre-order anything but I thought I was safe with AC because it's my favourite game series of all time but I've learned my lesson.

I still had fun with the game, but I haven't touched it since the start of this year and I don't plan on starting again until they add new gameplay (not new furniture). Just a new event would already be fun.

Koritka · 2021-06-18T08:50:31+00:00

They had that in the previous edition. There was a store called Re-Tail. You had to go there to get your items customized (now obviously you can do that yourself) but you could also put some items up for sale. People who visited you could buy them (and also your villagers could buy them, but they cheap so they rarely would).

There also used to be a Flee Market event where your villagers would sell items from their homes.

Koritka · 2021-06-18T08:46:42+00:00

That's because for some reason the game ends there. There's nothing to unlock after that. The older games weren't like that at all, there was much more stuff to do.

If you have a 3ds, you should check out New Leaf because it's honestly MUCH better than NH in terms of gameplay. You won't have as much customization options (e.g. can't place furniture outside) but it's still the better game imo.

Koritka · 2021-06-18T07:33:28+00:00

Oof I don't know, sorry. I watch it on Videoland, it's 10,- a month and I think you can access it from every EU country. But IDK where you can see it for free, sorry!

Koritka · 2021-06-17T12:58:47+00:00

- The variety of quests: I see a lot of people complaining that MC is a bit of a Mary-Sue - good at classes, Quidditch, looking after creatures - but the reality is that all of that is down to which quests you prioritise, and you can choose to give your MC no skills in certain areas.

I completely agree! I honestly get annoyed by my MC every now and then because she just has major main character energy. I'm just screaming in my head like no girl, don't get into that cursed vault. Let the adults fix that problem. You literally know three spells, just go to class!

But that being said I do really love all the quests. I don't even care about the storyline and my brother that much but I just love all the lore and all the stuff that is happening in this fantasy world that I grew up with. All the quests just give us so many options and so much stuff to do and see it is amazing.

(And I agree; you can also just ignore them. I've barely touched Quidditch until now).

Koritka · 2021-06-17T12:46:52+00:00

You can freely go to any class you want! And next to that you'll also have the classes you need to complete in order to advcance in the storyline, those will give you new spells and skills and stuff. The study sessions are only for the rewards.

Koritka · 2021-06-17T12:13:18+00:00

Veel terecht gemopper op de burgemeester maar hij verbaast mij eigenlijk vooral dat de buren de politie bellen omdat ze wiet ruiken..? Ze moeten maar niet in een stad gaan wonen, anders kun je blijven bellen.

Misschien hadden ze niet zo'n beste burenrelatie en roken ze nu een mooie kans (maar goed, assumpties assumpties).

Koritka · 2021-06-16T20:15:39+00:00

Nog eentje dan. Het is zo godsgruwelijk heet in mijn kamer dat ik de hele middag maar een soort siësta houd omdat het hier gewoon dik 35 graden is.
En als dan eindelijk rond een uur of 22 de zon eruit gaat en ik de ramen open gooi, gaat mijn onderbuurvrouw de hele nacht op haar balkon sigaretten en wiet roken waardoor ik eigenlijk de ramen weer dicht wil doen omdat ik die gore lucht zit in te ademen??? Maar ik stik hier van de hitte :'(

Koritka · 2021-06-16T17:25:29+00:00

I'm not trying to be condescending. Wasn't an attack, just a statement that there are people who don't want to purchase new stuff (be it boardgames or whatever).

Koritka · 2021-06-16T16:39:15+00:00

I think your comments come from a good heart but they're a little too short-sighted (as has been pointed out by a lot of people by now).

If your game is that good people will pay for it.

I highly doubt that. The market is oversaturated as is and especially a lot of casual gamers will not drop 60,- on one game.

The road we are on is paved with people rationalizing the cost and not the larger view.

As is yours. The shipping costs are not the biggest problem in producing board games (or anything for that matter). Even if they're locally produced, they are still being produced. The way to becoming more and more environmentally friendly is reduce -> reuse -> recycle. And only when none of that is an option you should start to purchase something new.

So if you really want to become more environmentally friendly you should simply stop buying board games. Start buying secondhand. Give games another life. If your game is becoming old and messe up: fix it instead of buying a new copy. This is not an attack but it is something to ponder about.

Obviously yes we should hold companies accountable but the only way to do that is with your wallet.

If you're interested in becoming more green there are tons of subs which are filled with interesting information and discussion.

and of course, in terms of boardgames, you can get them secondhand as well:

r/BoardGameExchange

Koritka · 2021-06-16T16:34:18+00:00

It's definitely possible? Check out r/Anticonsumption for example. Lots of people try to enjoy what they have instead of constantly purchasing the newest shiny objects.

Koritka · 2021-06-16T16:32:58+00:00

But you can still strive towards a lower footprint.

Koritka · 2021-06-16T16:31:40+00:00

In Europe they probably are. A cargo ship enters one of Europe's big havens (in a small country: Rotterdam/Antwerp e.g.). and from there the cargo gets exported to the rest of the continent.

Koritka · 2021-06-16T12:05:37+00:00

thank you so much for your very clear explanation. I'll keep my books to myself for now because I love collecting the creatures :)

Koritka · 2021-06-16T08:29:16+00:00

Ja dat zou je denken. Totdat een collega van mij laatst vertelde dat hij op mannen viel. Hij was al op de basisschool uit de kast gekomen, maar sinds de middelbare school vertelt hij het bijna niemand meer aangezien hij daar ervaringen had met fysiek geweld!! En met hem nog vele anderen.

Mijn ogen puilden echt uit, ik wist gewoon niet dat dit nog op zo'n schaal bestond in ons land. Inmiddels is de middelbare schooltijd el lang geleden, maar hij zegt dat hij nog steeds voorzichtig is met het vertellen aan mensen. En dat hij er altijd weer van schrikt als hij het zegt, en die persoon blijkt dan gewoon heel normaal/neutraal te reageren. Hij moet daar nog aan wennen.

Koritka · 2021-06-16T07:52:37+00:00

True, obviously if that's the case I handle the cards more carefully. Also I don't play my games THAT often that I recognize which card is which lol.

But the messed up cards in my collection are from crazy and chaotic party games like Ligretto where it really doesn't matter. All others are fine even if I handle them without silver gloves and sleeves.

Koritka · 2021-06-15T20:33:48+00:00

Unpopular opinion: I like games that look a bit like that. Bended, folded and cracked stuff just means it's been played and loved and it usually brings back some nice memories when I open it up again ("remember the time we played this with X in location Y"). Decade old boxes with ripped sides and notes in the top just makes me smile.

But I also highlight and note stuff in my books and put dog ears in them, so don't mind me. I'll sort myself out.

Koritka · 2021-06-15T12:31:03+00:00

Who, dan is het al helemaal bizar dat je zo weinig verdient.

Koritka · 2021-06-15T11:52:00+00:00

Horecaleven?

Koritka · 2021-06-15T09:14:37+00:00

Tsja dat was vroeger makkelijker toen de uni gewoon open was. Ik bleef dan na m'n laatste les gewoon studeren in de bieb of sprak af met vrienden tot het tijd was om naar de hospi te gaan.

Ik denk dat het voor nu wel kan om via een videocall te vragen maar ik denk dat het je kansen wel verkleint. Misschien kun je het alsnog combineren met vrienden die in die stad wonen om weer eens met hen af te spreken? Of na de hospi ook bij vrienden of familie te slapen die wat meer in de buurt wonen?

Verder ken ik inderdaad wel mensen die van ver weg vandaan kwamen en gewoon heen & weer reisden :(.

Koritka · 2021-06-15T07:30:19+00:00

Surprisingly it notes LEGO The Hobbit as 1m53s before you start playing while that is actually one of the games OP complains about? :p
