You order a package off Amazon. When the Amazon delivery guy shows up to your door, instead of giving you the package you bought, he beats the shit out of you. Then, when he sees that you are not dead yet, he calls all of the Amazon delivery people in the area and they all proceed to beat the shit out of you. Miraculously, you survive. Another miracle: a friend in your neighborhood caught the assault on video. After a month of recovery and extensive hospital bills that you have no idea what to do with, the video has gone viral. You read the comments below. “This is what happens to people who fuck with Amazon!!!” Someone says. “I’ve never been beaten up by Amazon employees, and I’ve been using them all my life!” Someone else comments. Later, you start to see articles popping up about your story. They all mention that when you were 17, your license was revoked for reckless driving. In a Facebook post on your mom’s feed, someone is going on a rant about how not all Amazon delivery guys are bad, and that if you look really close, the “bad” ones are just stressed out. Your name is trending on Twitter. Jeff Bezos films a response to your attack, denouncing the video of you getting beaten to within an inch of your life by his employees as becoming “a symbol of hate towards Amazon.” The people who attacked you still deliver packages around your neighborhood. You saw one of them just yesterday as you were watering your plants. You still can’t pay your hospital bills. Your phone dings- Twitter again. “Maybe if you didn’t order from Amazon,” someone pipes up, “this wouldn’t have happened!”

In Super Mario Odyssey, when Mario has one unit of health remaining, he will assume a pained idle animation whenever he is not moving. Unlike most circumstancial idle animations, this one has no waiting period before starting after Mario finishes moving. In other words, if many small inputs are made sequentially, Mario will rapidly switch between regular walking and his low-health idle animation in the manner depicted.

i just learned from animal crossing that pondskaters stay on top of the water by secreting an oil from their feet

that seems kinda obvious in hindsight. i always figured they were just, like, light enough to not break surface tension

The Thing with Raymond

So thing is about Raymond is that there are a lot of factors as to why he is so popular and it’s getting really out of hand with people trading him

The fact that he’s a new interesting looking cat villager isn’t least among them. Cat villagers have always been pretty popular, and so it’s not surprising that a new one would get a lot of love. He is also smug, which is probably the male personality type that bothers people the least. The fact that he is very anthropomorphized, has glasses and heterochromia only makes him more of an interesting looking villager.

And of course he fits the cartoon twink aesthetic a la onceler that large parts of fandoms like

But it’s not just his appeal that has lead to this whole Thing. It’s also his rarity. Raymond is actually the most rare villager in the game, which a lot of people probably don’t realize.

You might think you get an equal chance to get any villager when you go to mystery islands, but that isn’t the case. See, when the game decides what villager will be at your island, it rolls two factors. First it rolls for the species of the villager. So here, there is an equal chance of any species. After it figures out the species, it rolls for the specific villager. Here is what makes some more rare than others. There are more cats than any other species, so your chances of getting the specific cat you want are much slimmer than, say, getting the specific octopus you want.

Now you don’t have a slimmer chance of getting Raymond than any other cat, so what makes Raymond more rare? Amiibo cards.

Raymond is the only new cat, which means that he is the only cat that doesn’t have an amiibo card. This means that the only way you can get Raymond with 100% certainty is by trading him with someone else but also means that more Raymonds aren’t being introduced into the ecosystem like character with amiibos are.

And people might not realize this, but there IS an ecosystem when it comes to the pool of villagers available. When you let a villager leave without someone taking them, that villager doesn’t just disappear. They will go into a queue of villagers and then move into an empty space that someone on your friend list has if it’s left open too long. So once a villager exists, it exists for theoretically all AC players and can jump from friend list to friend list as long as they aren’t allowed to leave while you have no friends or aren’t connected to the internet.

So villagers with amiibo cards can be introduced into this ecosystem all the time, but Raymond and the other new villagers can only be introduced when they’re found, and Raymond is the one least likely to be found.

So that is basically why this Whole Thing with Raymond is happening. There is a scarcity of Raymonds that doesn’t exist as severely with any other villager. But the good news is, this will calm down. More people will find more Raymonds over time and introduce him into the internet ecosystem and his value will decrease when more and more become available. Nintendo is going to print amiibos for him eventually which will mean there will be a code to introduce him, which will probably cause the Raymond market to collapse. Raymond is an investment that will decrease over time, so if you want him, just wait. Don’t spend real money on him or trade a thousand NMT. He will become much less scarce over time. He may stay popular, but the scalper market will shrink for him.

Someone pointed out that the font on the government's letter about the quarantine looked familiar, and now I can't stop thinking about it.
